The following is a post from The Merry Librarian (www.merrylibrarian.com) dated Sept. 27th, 2009. Check out the website for all postings!
"Tough Love from a Tough Dad"
This week's Story of the Week is one of the rare stories that is genuinely heartwarming (though we're sure there are more out there!). As librarians–as with any public service profession–we so often see the sad and traumatic family interactions. It is refreshing to witness powerful and positive relationships like this one. Thank you, "Diane", for this great story!
I work at a small library in an area of town that tends to house the lower-economic demographic. It is not unusual for things to be stolen from our library on a regular basis–most frequently our DVDs. One day, I was at the reference desk when a man came in with a young, teenage boy. The man looked pretty haggard. He had tattoos everywhere (even a cross between his eyebrows! Ouch!) and lots of piercings. He looked like he'd had a pretty hard life. When he came up to the desk, he set a very tall pile of DVDs in front of me–at least 20 DVDs.
"I found these in my son's room," he said. "He didn't check them out. He stole them."
I didn't quite know how to respond, so I (rather stupidly) said, "Oh. Okay. So none of them are checked out?"
"No, ma'am," he answered. Then he knelt down on the ground so that he was eye to eye with me. His son knelt beside him, looking deeply humiliated and angry.
"Listen," the man said quietly. "I spent the first ten years of my boy's life in prison. I screwed up a lot when I was younger, and I'm not proud of the man I was." He put his arm around his son. "I want so much more for my boy than I had. I want him to be a man of integrity. So I brought him with me today because I wanted him to be accountable for what he'd done. Son, do you have anything to say?"
The boy looked at the floor and mumbled an apology at me.
I thought things would end there, but I was wrong. The dad continued talking.
"I am really proud of my son, ma'am. You need to know that. I love him so much more than anything in the world. He's a great kid. A really great kid. I just feel bad that I was such a bad example to him. He has made some decisions lately that reflect how much I failed him, and I regret that. But I love him. I want him to be a better man than me."
He then looked at his son, who had tears in his eyes, and said, "I love you, son. I love you."
Then, the boy who had looked so tough and stubborn when he'd walked in, put his head on his dad's shoulder and cried like a child. His dad held him, and wiped away a few of his own tears.
It was the most powerful thing I've ever seen. I, too, had teared up and had to fight to keep my voice steady as I thanked them both for their honesty. I told the boy that he was welcome to come back and get a library card when he was ready, and I returned all of the DVDs. They left, and I have never seen either of them again…but I will never forget them.

Hauss and Rabie Win in Mauritius
By Loreen Barnett on 27/12/09 at 9:49 pm
Mauritius, 19 December 2009: The Mauritius ITI African Cup marked the end of the ITU racing season and could hardly have been hosted at a more beautiful venue. This Indian Ocean Island boasts some of the most pristine beaches in the world and this together with the surrounding hills and soaring temperatures and humidity made this a worthwhile event on the calendar.
In the men's event David Hauss (France) took the lead from the swim and exited the water almost 1 minute and 30 seconds ahead of the chase pack made up of Omar Tayara (Syria), Valerie De Falbaire (Mauritius), Ramon Edija (Spain) and Daniel Rodriguez (Spain).
The chase pack worked well together over the tough climbs on the course but could not make up any time on the hard working Hauss.
The run was challenging in the extreme heat and humidity but Hauss maintained his lead to the end winning from a fast finishing Wikus Weber who broke away from Rodriguez on the end of the second lap to take the second place finish with Rodriguez taking third.
The women's race was dominated from start to finish by Mari Rabie (South Africa) in her first race back after the Beijing Olympics. She exited the water 1 minute and 40 seconds ahead of Fabienne St. Louis (Mauritius), Andrea Steyn (South Africa) and Riana De Lange (South Africa) and held this gap right through the bike and extended this lead on the run to finish a comfortable winner on the day.
Andrea Steyn used her strong run to pull away from Fabienne St. Louis at the 2km mark and held on for a comfortable second place with Fabienne rounding out the podium on the day.
As the sun set on this beautiful venue the athletes were all in agreement that this beautiful Indian Ocean Island venue can become one of the favourites on the ITU circuit.

Hackberry Bonsai Material
- Nice big hackberry with dense branching ready for a prune
- Some way to go but looking good to date
- Very rare in UK bonsai
- Supremely easy tree to care for and develop as bonsai
- 28" high above it's pot. 20" wide overall. 9" diameter nebari
- Planted in a plastic bonsai pot.
Hackberry Bonsai Material
Celtis australis, commonly known as European nettle tree, Mediterranean hackberry, lote tree, or honeyberry. A great species for training as bonsai and fairly rare in the UK. The tree has a beautiful fine dense ramification when mature. Foliage is a nice pale grey green with leaves that resemble stinging nettles. Celtis have nice pale grey bark that develops texture with age. This variety is unusual in bonsai, the Chinese variety Celtis sinensis is much more common, this type is considerbly more robust than it's Chinese cousin.
Celtis is a fully hardy species that can be kept outside all year round in most areas. However we recommend a little winter protection in colder areas and during periods of extreme cold. A little shelter in a cold greenhouse or under a bench will ensure the tree emerges in spring unscathed. In summer keep in full sun and water very well. Celtis like a lot of water in summer but can be kept fairly dry over winter. When growing feed very well using Green Dream Bonsai Fertiliser. Re-pot every two or three years using our No2 Bonsai Soil Mix.
Collected in Spain. A superb hackberry with a big trunk and good nebari. Some carving work will be required. This variety is almost entirely developed by pruning. With time and a little care a dense crown of branches and ramification can be developed with little more than a pair of scissors.
28" tall above it's bonsai pot. 20" wide overall. 9" diameter nebari.
Planted in a plastic bonsai pot.
The subject pictured is the EXACT plant we will send you. Appearance may vary depending upon the season.

The Noahide faith is strong at this formerly Catholic High School.
Holocaust Arts Contest as a Way to Teach Tolerance
July 02, 2009
Lynn B. Edelman – Jewish Federation Feature
Eileen Hildenbrand, chairperson of the English Department at Lansdale Catholic High School, expressed her delight at learning that her school will soon receive a coveted prize from the sponsors of the recent Mordechai Anielewicz Creative Arts Competition on the Holocaust — the Clara Isaacman Memorial Holocaust Trunk: "This generous gift, valued at more than $1,500, will provide our students with a wealth of Holocaust educational materials that we did not currently have, and will be utilized by our students in a variety of subjects."
Hildenbrand explained that the Holocaust is explored through the prism of many subject areas at the school, including English, social studies and theology.
"It is an important topic for our students, who are not only United States citizens, but also citizens of the world," she said, adding that "since we are a Catholic school, our students need to learn about other groups."
Hildenbrand said she hopes that this knowledge will help to promote tolerance, understanding and respect for others.
She also said that she believes the motto so closely associated with Holocaust education — "Remember not to forget" — has great relevance in today's society.
"Genocide is a current problem in many parts of the world; perhaps we can learn from the past how to address this issue today," she pondered.
This is the third time Hildenbrand's students have been honored by the competition's judges.
"We encourage our students to enter because it is through the arts that students can explore and express their feelings," she said.
Students in her English I class created commemorative postage stamps to honor those lost in the Holocaust and/or those Righteous Gentiles who acted to prevent the loss of Jewish lives.
Hildenbrand emphasized that "the role of the Righteous Gentile [see: Noahide] is especially relevant for our students."
This project was the culminating activity in the students' exploration of the Holocaust. In preparation, they read The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank and Number the Stars by Lois Lowry. Seniors viewed the movie "Schindler's List," while freshmen saw "Miracle at Midnight" to emphasize the role that many Christians played in saving friends and neighbors from the hands of the Nazis.
To help these young people understand the concept of 6 million Holocaust victims, several student groups also saw "Paper Clips," a movie that documented one school's project to collect one paper clip for each Jewish life lost.
Hildenbrand's colleague, Elizabeth Burgoon, helped her senior class to create scrapbooks that marked the lives of various fictional people who lived during the Holocaust through letters and pictures. To prepare for this competition entry, students read Night by Elie Weisel and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, a book by Irish novelist John Boyne that was recently made into an award-winning movie.
Throughout the course of their school experience, the Catholic students will have much exposures to Holocaust studies, as well as ample opportunity for discussion. Said Hildenbrand: "We are trying to help them gain knowledge about a very dark period in history and learn from the past how to create a better world."
The multimedia entries from Lansdale Catholic High School students and other competition participants were displayed from June 3 through June 15 at the Moore College of Art & Design.
Award winners were honored during a ceremony at the college on June 8.
The Mordechai Anielewicz Creative Arts Competition, now in its 36th year, provides students in grades seven to 12, of all religious and ethnic backgrounds, with a chance to respond to the Holocaust and its related issues through creative expression. Students are encouraged to submit original written, musical, art, film and creative dance works that focus on Holocaust themes.
The contest is sponsored by the Memorial Committee for the Six Million Jewish Martyrs of the Jewish Community Relations Council of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia and the Auerbach Central Agency for Jewish Education, in cooperation with the Association of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, Sons and Daughters of Holocaust Survivors, Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors Association of Philadelphia, Samuel Pelta Holocaust Education Endowment, Jewish Publication Society and Moore College of Art & Design. It is named in honor of Mordechai Anielewicz, the 19-year-old leader of the Jewish revolt against the Nazis in the Warsaw ghetto.

Orioles 8, Devil Rays 4.
If anybody is still wondering why the Rays struggle against the one team in the AL East that they should be able to compete with, they need look no further than Aubrey Friggin' Huff. We are here to anoint Huff as Chuck LaMar's replacement as the official Rays Killer. Some players play better against certain teams but we have never seen a player make an entire season out of playing against one team.
|Aubrey Huff
|vs TB Devil Rays
|vs other 28 teams
And with one swing of Aubrey Friggin' Huff's bat, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays now fall four back of the Orioles in the AL East and more importantly five back in the loss column. The Rays have 23 games remaining while the Orioles have 25. If Baltimore goes 10-15 down the stretch, the Rays would need to finish 14-9 to pull out of the cellar. This will be a difficult task, at best, considering the Rays have two series remaining against the Red Sox, and series with the Yankees, Angels and Mariners, all playoff contenders. The other two series are against the Blue Jays.
Surpassing the Orioles is not impossible but it will be a long shot. If the team wants to have any thoughts of a 4th place finish, the Rays must win tonight's game.
- Not that anybody was holding their breath, but the loss last night guarantees that the Rays will finish with a losing record for the 10th consecutive season. Having already been officially eliminated from the division race, the Rays' elimination number for the wild card is now 4.
- Marc Topkin thinks Josh Wilson's fielding problems are "more mental than physical". We think they are more because he is just not a very good defensive infielder. Either way, Mr. Anonymous is likely to be a one-and-done member of the Devil Rays as the team looks for an upgrade up the middle this off-season. [tampabay.com]
- If Rocco Baldelli does not return this season, he will have played in exactly 138 of the Rays last 486 games. John Romano believes that "it is impossible to know where Baldelli fits in the equation (team's future)". Oh. It is possible, because Rocco does not fit in the team's future. It is clear that the team wants BJ Upton in center field and Rocco in another organization. Still, Romano believes that the team should pick up Rocco's '09 option and just cross their fingers. [tampabay.com]
- With 276 hits combined, Delmon Young and Aki Iwamura could become just the 5th pair of rookies in the past 20 years to combine for 300 hits. Also, Young (.297), BJ Upton (.311) and Carl Crawford (.313) could become the first outfield since 1996 (Cleveland) to have all three members hit .300. [Devil Rays]
- Scott Kazmir and BJ Upton both make the list of "Top 25 Under 25″with Delmon Young named as honorable mention. Nick Underhill does bring up a good point in regards to Upton. He may be a better center fielder but will Upton push for a return to the infield where he has a better chance to be a perennial all-star? [Im Writing Sports]
- In a case where "no news is apparently news", Carlos Pena has yet to be contacted by the team concerning a contract extension. Pena is not a free agent, so nobody should expect any negotiations until after the season. [The Canadian Press]

Arrgh! Ignore this folks, sloppy work on my part, Peter King did diss the GOP in the video above, but it was Steven King who lampooned Katrina relief, it's my fault and apologies to both Kings.
The comedy stylings of Peter King (R-grifter) continued apace this morning with a spine snapping reversal on disaster relief. It turns out this joker now thinks government relief spending is greeeat and not funding that relief is just wrong!
TPM — "It's absolutely disgraceful," King said on CNN. "People in my party, they wonder why they're becoming a minority party. They're writing off New York, they're writing off New Jersey. Well, they've written me off, and they're gonna have a hard time getting my vote, I can tell you that."King said that Republicans have no problem finding New York when they want to raise money. In light of Tuesday's inaction [On Sandy relief], King said, anyone from New York or New Jersey who contributes to the National Republican Congressional Committee should have their "head examined."
Well, I could have told you that last part without the Teaparty torching Sandy relief last night. But this is all a far cry from the fiery Peter King who insisted relief for Hurricane Irene must be offset by spending cuts. Then again Hurricane Irene was a little farther away than Sandy from his home turf in upstate New York. There's a geo-political trend there, let's test it: How does Peter King feel about relief funding for even more distant disasters?
HuffPo — The congressman, who is running for his sixth term, was outspoken about — among other things — the need to pay for any spending on disaster relief, an issue he has dealt with before. In 2005, he voted against a bill to help Hurricane Katrina victims because he said it cost too much at $51.8 billion. King was one of only 11 members of Congress to oppose the bill. King said last week that his vote against Hurricane Katrina relief was "a good vote" and "a principled vote."
Ahh yes, what a shock. Peter King, just another small government teaparty conservative, except when the Americans in need are in his circle of friends and neighbors. Some principle.

Marcus Stroud
JD Collins | 12/17/2013, 12:36 p.m.
Noted NFL Veteran, 3x Pro Bowl Selection, 3x All-Pro Selection
What is the significance of Black History Month to you?
"It's the celebration of everyone who paved the way for me to be able to do the things I'm doing today. To me, every day we move forward is a celebration of the things African Americans have done to make progress. This is just the month where we officially take time to celebrate all of the great achievements."
What was the most poignant moment in black history for you?
"That's really hard to answer since there are so many moments. I think I would be doing in an injustice if I were to label just one. There are too many pivotal moments to be able to pick just one."
Growing up, who were the African-American icons that you looked up to for inspiration and why?
"The most obvious ones that I looked up to were Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X, for their leadership and for being able to unite people and get them focused. Even though both had different ideas fundamentally, they were able to get people to come together for the greater good."
Where do you see the direction of black history?
"I still think we have a lot of history to be made. Our story is never done. There's always somebody that will make a difference every day."
A self-proclaimed "country boy" from South Georgia, NFL veteran and philanthropist Marcus Stroud remains humble and grateful for his experiences during and after the NFL. Marcus was the 13th overall pick in the 2001 draft and played for 10 years in the NFL for teams such as the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Buffalo Bills.
"I started playing football my junior year of high school," said Marcus. "My goal was to go to college and obtain a degree first, and if I was fortunate enough to make the NFL, it was a bonus."
His talents and leadership were quickly recognized. As a high school senior, Marcus was selected to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1996, when he committed to play college ball at the University of Georgia, UGA. Marcus graduated with his bachelor's degree and remains a proud member of Phi Beta Sigma, a predominantly African-American Fraternity.
After being drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars, Marcus made a name for himself as a rising Defensive all-star. He successfully earned a trip to the NFL Pro Bowl for three consecutive seasons.
When asked the most important lesson he learned during his tenure in the NFL, Marcus responded "Never take anything for granted. You always think you can bounce back from an injury or something like that and sometimes that's not the case," said Marcus. "So don't take anything for granted, that's my number one lesson."
In 2008, Marcus was traded to the Buffalo Bills and became one of the team's integral defensive talents. He worked hard to become the starting Defensive Tackle where he became one of the most dominant and versatile players until 2011 when he signed with the New England Patriots. In June 2012, Marcus signed a 1-day contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars to retire as a Jaguar.

We at Ghostvillage DO NOT condone any type of illegal activity, whether it is done in the pursuit of paranormal research or otherwise.
With that being said, the Member Guidelines for the message boards have been updated to include number 7: Any post or material that contains a reference to any type of illegal activity (such as trespassing, use of illegal substances, or any other activity that is deemed illegal) shall be removed from the boards without warning.
This means that if you post something that is illegal, your post or material will be removed from public view. You will not be given a warning, it will just be removed. No explanation will be given.
Notice I said that it will be removed from public view. That does not mean that the material will be deleted, but it will be removed and logged so that we are able to keep it as a record. The first time you violate Guideline #7, the material will be removed. The second time, your account will be suspended for 48 hours. The third offense will result in the removal of your account from GV.
This is something that we take very seriously. GV is here to promote the paranormal world, to get people talking about it and thinking about it, to give people a place to come and talk about their experiences and find others who can relate. We want to do this in a positive way. Illegal activity involved with the paranormal world casts a very negative light on things and we will not condone that, be part of that, or accept it.

The U.S. media can be very one-sided and deceptive. This is especially true when it comes to war and/or the Middle East. It is not unusual for the world to hear one thing while the controlled U.S. corporate "mainstream" media propaganda machine feeds us something else.
In the overall historical perspective (recent events aside) neither group in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is totally right or wrong in their behavior. But we only get one biased side of the issue in the U.S.. This is to be expected — the U.S. arms Israel and gives them huge amounts of money in foreign aid. Of course, the U.S. also leads the way in the so-called "War on Terror" and in pre-emptive war. Below are some resources to help fill in the information gaps.
Ron Paul on the fighting between Israel and the Palestinians:
Eric Margolis writes an excellent summary of the issue:
Israel's 'Fait Accompli' in Gaza
There are two completely different versions of what is currently happening in Gaza.
In the Israeli and North American press version, Hamas – "Islamic terrorists" backed by Iran – have in an unprovoked attack fired deadly rockets on innocent Israel with the intent of destroying the Jewish state.
North American politicians and the media say Israel "has the right to defend itself."
True enough. No Israeli government can tolerate rockets hitting its towns, even though the casualty totals have been less than the car crash fatalities registered during a single holiday weekend on Israel's roads.
The firing of the feeble, homemade al-Qassam rockets by Palestinians is both useless and counterproductive.
It damages their image as an oppressed people and gives right-wing Israeli extremists a perfect reason to launch more attacks on the Arabs and refuse to discuss peace.
Israel's supporters insist it has the absolute right to drop hundreds of tons of bombs on "Hamas targets" inside the 360 sq km Gaza Strip to "take out the terrorists."
Civilians suffer, says Israel, because the cowardly Hamas hide among them.
Actually, it is more like shooting fish in a barrel.
Omitting facts
As usual, this cartoon-like version of events omits a great deal of nuance and background.
While firing rockets at civilians is a crime so, too, is the Israeli blockade of Gaza, which is an egregious violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions.
According to the UN, most of Gaza's 1.5 million Palestinian refugees subsist near the edge of hunger. Seventy per cent of Palestinian children in Gaza suffer from severe malnutrition and psychological trauma.
Medical facilities are critically short of doctors, personnel, equipment, and drugs. Gaza has quite literally become a human garbage dump for all the Arabs that Israel does not want.
Gaza is one of the world's most-densely populated places, a vast outdoor prison camp filled with desperate people. In the past, they threw stones at their Israeli occupiers; now they launch homemade rockets.Call it a prison riot, writ large.

Michel Chussudovsky details some of the real reasons behind the Israeli aggression in The Invasion of Gaza: 'Operation Cast Lead':
The aerial bombings and the ongoing ground invasion of Gaza by Israeli ground forces must be analysed in a historical context. Operation "Cast Lead" is a carefully planned undertaking, which is part of a broader military-intelligence agenda first formulated by the government of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in 2001:
"Sources in the defense establishment said Defense Minister Ehud Barak instructed the Israel Defense Forces to prepare for the operation over six months ago, even as Israel was beginning to negotiate a ceasefire agreement with Hamas."[Barak Ravid, Operation "Cast Lead": Israeli Air Force strike followed months of planning, Haaretz, December 27, 2008]
It was Israel which broke the truce on the day of the US presidential elections, November 4:
"Israel used this distraction to break the ceasefire between itself and Hamas by bombing the Gaza strip. Israel claimed this violation of the ceasefire was to prevent Hamas from digging tunnels into Israeli territory.
The very next day, Israel launched a terrorizing siege of Gaza, cutting off food, fuel, medical supplies and other necessities in an attempt to "subdue" the Palestinians while at the same time engaging in armed incursions.
In response, Hamas and others in Gaza again resorted to firing crude, homemade, and mainly inaccurate rockets into Israel. During the past seven years, these rockets have been responsible for the deaths of 17 Israelis. Over the same time span, Israeli Blitzkrieg assaults have killed thousands of Palestinians, drawing worldwide protest but falling on deaf ears at the UN." [Shamus Cooke, The Massacre in Palestine and the Threat of a Wider War, Global Research, December 2008]
Planned Humanitarian Disaster
On December 8, US Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte was in Tel Aviv for discussions with his Israeli counterparts including the director of Mossad, Meir Dagan.
"Operation Cast Lead" was initiated two days day after Christmas. It was coupled with a carefully designed international Public Relations campaign under the auspices of Israel's Foreign Ministry.
Hamas' military targets are not the main objective. Operation "Cast Lead" is intended, quite deliberately, to trigger civilian casualities.
What we are dealing with is a "planned humanitarian disaster" in Gaza in a densly populated urban area.
The longer term objective of this plan, as formulated by Israeli policy makers, is the expulsion of Palestinians from Palestinian lands:
"Terrorize the civilian population, assuring maximal destruction of property and cultural resources… The daily life of the Palestinians must be rendered unbearable: They should be locked up in cities and towns, prevented from exercising normal economic life, cut off from workplaces, schools and hospitals, This will encourage emigration and weaken the resistance to future expulsions" Ur Shlonsky, quoted by Ghali Hassan, Gaza: The World's Largest Prison, Global Research, 2005)

by Bob Lowry
Last week I wrote about high school reunions, even though I have never been to one. Now I'm writing about retirement and a mortgage, even though I don't have one. Either I love showing off my ignorance or I am fearless. Maybe it is a combination of both. After all, a satisfying retirement is sometimes a walk on the wild side.
Even so the subject is important. Retirement brings its own unique set of concerns and decisions. Near the top of many lists is a decision about housing. Is it best to pay off the mortgage before retirement, or is that extra money better off being invested? If I pay off the house won't I lose a major tax deduction? But, what if I have a major health expense and can't pay the mortgage..could I end up retired and homeless?
Good questions with no clear cut answers. But, they are worth asking and taking a look at some of the ramifications. As an obvious disclaimer, I am not a tax expert or a financial guru, so what I offer is opinion and some basic thoughts from my own research. Please think through your own situation carefully, consult a trusted adviser, and proceed with caution.
If you do a Google search about retirement and mortgages the majority of the sites and articles that rise to the top suggest paying off your home loan before retirement. They do admit that many people can't do that, but it should be a goal.
The reasons most often cited to pay off your mortgage:
1. Peace of mind. Even without a monthly payment you still have real estate taxes, HOA fees, maintenance, repairs and upgrades. But, if you delay fixing a leaking toilet for two months you won't risk losing your home. That big monthly Must Pay bill is gone.
2. Home equity is available. I strongly suggest this source of cash be used only for major repairs and upgrades to your property or something like a large medical expense. Home equity is not a piggy bank so you can take a 12 day cruise to Hawaii or buy a new truck. Too many people got stuck when they spent their home equity only to find the worth of the house dropped below the size of the loan. But, with home equity lines of credit at extremely low interest rates at the moment, smart use can save you thousands in interest over more conventional loans.
3. You have more freedom to relocate or resize. Get in trouble with your mortgage and someone else might tell you when to move. Have no mortgage and you can decide when to downsize or move closer to the kids….or stay put.
4. You have a large source of retirement money available. If you move to a smaller home or condo or even rent an apartment, any profits after the house sale and purchase are yours. Though expensive and sometimes risky, reverse mortgages can provide a steady income from the equity you have in your residence too.
On the other side of the argument, these points are made:
1. Don't pull money from other investments to pay off a cheap mortgage. Even losing the tax deduction of a mortgage may not be enough to make up for better performing investments. If you take a chunk of your retirement funds to pay off a mortgage the money left will not produce as much income or growth.
2. Tying up too much of your net worth in an illiquid asset. You own a $300,000 home free and clear. But, depending on the market conditions it might you 6-9 months or more to be able to sell the house and see any net profits. If you need quick cash a house is not the place to find it (except through a home equity loan which comes with its own risks).
3. If you have a low mortgage rate can you earn more in investments/ Then, use your cash to grow your nest egg. Depending on your investment strategy and resources, it is not too hard to get a rather safe return of 5% on your money. With a mortgage of under 4% are you willing to throw away that 1% of growth year and year?
Another consideration lies in what your plans are when you decide to move. For example, Betty and I plan on moving from our current home in four or five years. Housing prices have been rising in Phoenix for 15 months in a row so the future is looking brighter.
We know that at some point we want to move into a continuing care community (CCC). The "buy-in" will be somewhere around $250,000. If we own a home or condo and need to move rather quickly into the CCC because of health issues, our buy-in money will be unavailable until we sell. That maybe too late.
So, we are giving serious thought to renting an apartment/town home when we move from our present home. The bulk of our profits from our current home will be invested for safe growth. While the yearly rent is lost in terms of equity or tax benefits, we will have liquidity when we are ready to move to the continuing care community.
Again, I will remind you I am not a financial planner or expert. I have bumbled along pretty well for the past several decades, but there is always more to learn and consider. If you are a financial planner, investment guide, or CPA I welcome your input (as long as you aren't trying to sell something!). I hope readers like Sydney Lagier see this post and respond. I consider her a qualified expert and would welcome her thoughts.
All that said, you have thoughts, concerns, questions, and insight that will help of of us, expert or no. Please add your comments to this important subject. Since a home is generally the biggest expense for most of us in our lifetime, knowing what to do with that resource is vital.

1. Re: Sandbox design prototypebleathem Apr 17, 2012 5:14 PM (in response to paul.dijou)
Great, thanks for taking the time to do this Paul! I'll re-iterate here the comments I mafe in IRC:
Things I like:
- building in the tag doc right into the showcase
- I like how 1 and 3 have all the info actively on the page
- I like the left menu of 1
- seperating out the onEvents from the VDL +1 -- we should do this in the primary VDL-doc build
- Flushing out the js API is great - this will encourage component developers to put thought into their js API from the get-go.
Things I'd like to see changed:
- The popup menus on the L.H.S. navigation - I think I would rather see expanding menus, as in the current "RichFaces showcase" (the non shandobx one).
I'm happy to go with any of these approaches - a very modern look for the modern components in our sandbox!
Also, we should make it a goal to "reverse dog food" this showcase. We should build showcase components and themes to be able to re-build this showcase as a RichFaces application.
2. Re: Sandbox design prototypepaul.dijou Apr 17, 2012 5:52 PM (in response to bleathem)
Just added a Design 4 with an accordion menu just like the actual RichFaces showcase (be sure to clean your browser cache to see it. I used HTML meta tag to have no cache enabled but looks like it wasn't enough...).
But I don't really like this menu : even if it has a better design, it's too much time and clics to browse through all of it.
Right now, my preference go to Design 3 (with the VDL bis) : even if it's give me an odd impression at first sight (because of the demo with only 50% width of the screen and not having any real left margin), it's the most optimized one, giving maximum width to both the demo and VDL and having them on the same screen. The menu is always displayed (because the top navbar is fixed) and you can browse it easily just by moving your mouve over it.
3. Re: Sandbox design prototyperruss Apr 18, 2012 1:50 PM (in response to paul.dijou)
I like option 4 the best. Hard to articulate, but it just "feels" better than the others.
4. Re: Sandbox design prototypebleathem Apr 18, 2012 6:08 PM (in response to rruss)
Are there any options we can rule out? We should take the remaining ones, and open it up to a poll in this developer space.
More on what i don't like
- Option 3 is cool but it's hard to discover where to click for new comopnents. We could overcome this with a real cool landing page, with a grid of sceenshots for each comopnent that you clilck on to get to the sample for that component.
- Option 2 I don't like having the vdl click on a seperate tab, although this is more friendly for older/smaller monitors. Perhaps an approach to explore for the mobile view of the showcase?
- Option 4 is also my favorite - perhaps we could combine 1 and 4, where you get the popup of 1 until the menu is expanded?
If there is no clear consensus on which one stands out (they are all great ideas Paul!) we can take the front runners and create a poll in this dev space. A poll chossing between options 2, and a hybrid of 1/4 would be useful IMO.

I frequently run into individuals — as I did in my past as an RN — who thought they were the only ones who were suffering. What is this whole living with pain business, some morbid contest to see who's suffered the most?
It's far too easy to slide down into that hole of depression and self-pity and think you're the most unfortunate, the most tortured, and the most miserable of them all. If that's your approach you'll get a prize for certain; all you have to do is win. Your prize is a life of darkness engulfed in pain and suffering. Your attitude will stink. Your friends and family will eventually resent you and remember, it can get awfully dark down in that hole.
I have many goals and hopes for this blog, but the big one is to avoid the whole contest idea. I know as a former RN, many individuals crave attention and love to talk about their health. It's the old bit that roughly means, "Do you want to see my scar?"
Sometimes it gets worse with age as many elderly are feeling lonely and bereft, but there are other individuals who just love the attention they get from describing and embracing any health problem that comes along. I love to quote the wonderful actress Rosalind Russell, who suffered the effects of rheumatoid arthritis for many years. She says in her autobiography, "There are people who love to tell you how sick they are. Ask them how they feel, and they bore you with the details. They'll write it out for you, carve it in granite. They want the attention."
It was very difficult for her to come to grips with talking about her painful bouts of arthritis in her book but she finally decided it might help someone. That's basically what I also decided to do. She finally succumbed to cancer and when asked why she didn't mention cancer in her book she said, "One disease to a book is enough." I love that.
Let us all look for answers, solutions, and a better way to live. Attaining a positive, cheerful attitude is not always possible, but it is a worthwhile goal. To quote Ms. Russell once more, from a prayer her husband found tucked away after she died, "Keep my mind free of the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on aches and pains. They are increasing, and the love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by." As an actress, she never wanted to bore her audience.
Please let me share with all of you some of my personal ways to work on the old, often sagging, attitude.
- Don't concentrate on your pain day and night. Fill your mind with another thought either from a good book, a conversation, or a positive movie. You may have to concentrate on doing it, but if you've done everything you can — taken your medications, been seen by the best doctor — then it's up to you. Life's a wastin'.
- Move your ass. Don't lie around all the time. Certainly, we need to rest, but we also need the sense of accomplishment that comes with completing a task or indulging a hobby. It's very satisfying to make a room sparkle, pot a flower, or complete a day of work, which you may have to do to feed yourself and your family. Paint a fence or a picture. Either one offers satisfaction. Congratulate yourself. Remember the importance of movement for your body as it helps you to remain strong, be healthier, and look better.
- Fix yourself up. Shave your face or your legs. Guys or gals, choose one. Get a haircut. Wear fresh deodorant every morning. Put on a dab of make-up or lipstick. (Again, guys or gals it's up to you to choose.) Put down that Twinkie or chocolate candy bar. You don't do this for other people, although they do have to look at you; it's for you and will help you feel better about yourself. Maybe it's time to throw away that ratty old bathrobe? How many holes does it take to make a rag? (You see, I don't have to spy on you. I know what it's like for me.)
- Look for inspiration not an audience to complain to. Pick up a new book, talk to a cheerful friend, and for goodness sakes, please stop complaining. It doesn't change anything. From your brain it flows out of your mouth and causes others to flee from your presence. I complain, of course, but I have tried to cut it down to a minimum and save the major moaning and groaning for the big stuff. Come here where we welcome complaining, so you can get some constructive answers, some empathy, and comradeship. Your family and "healthy" friends are tired of hearing it and don't really understand. How could they?
- Make life an adventure. No, going to the hospital doesn't count. Give yourself something to look forward to. Plant those seeds. Take a drive and look at something beautiful, like a river or a mountain. Time is passing and you can lose years if you're not careful. Life is to be cherished, whatever our circumstances.

Athabasca Basin and beyondJune 15th, 2013
Uranium news from Saskatchewan and elsewhere for June 8 to 14, 2013
by Greg Klein
Next Page 1 | 2
Cameco's Cigar Lake granted mining licence
With production slated for Q4, Cameco Corp TSX:CCO got the final go-ahead to mine Cigar Lake uranium on June 13. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission issued the mining licence following a 1990s environmental assessment, a stalled construction phase and a one-day public hearing. "The licensed facilities include underground mine workings accessed by two mine shafts, a surface load-out facility, waste management systems, a mine water management system and associated site facilities," the CNSC stated. Cameco expects jet-boring to begin this summer.
The world's second-largest known high-grade uranium deposit, Cigar Lake's bounty holds:
- proven reserves of 233,600 tonnes averaging 22.31% uranium oxide (U3O8) for 114.9 million pounds U3O8
- probable reserves of 303,500 tonnes averaging 15.22% for 101.8 million pounds.
Those reserves give Cigar Lake a 15-year lifespan. With full production expected in 2018, it's expected to give up 18 million pounds annually.
The peak of construction could employ up to 500 workers, while production would require about 250 people. Jet-boring will extract the highly radioactive material using water pressure to carve underground caverns and push an ore slurry to underground grinding and thickening circuits, then to surface. The ground first must be frozen to prevent water seepage and radiation leakage. Processing will take place at the McClean Lake mill, 69 kilometres away.
Construction actually began in 2005. But the project hit delays due to flooding in 2006 and 2008. Cameco finally dewatered the workings in 2010 and restored the underground infrastructure the following year.
Located near Waterbury Lake on the Athabasca Basin's eastern margin, Cigar Lake is a four-way joint venture in which project operator Cameco holds 50.025%, AREVA Resources Canada 37.1%, Idemitsu Canada Resources 7.875% and TEPCO Resources 5%. Another JV, the McClean Lake mill is held 70% by operator AREVA, 22.5% by Denison Mines TSX:DML and 7.5% by OURD Canada.
Pele Mountain increases Eco Ridge inferred U3O8 136%, REO 130%
Replacing a previous uranium-rare earths resource in the project's July 2012 preliminary economic assessment, Pele Mountain Resources TSXV:GEM released a June 10 update for its Eco Ridge project in Elliot Lake, Ontario. The resource now shows:
- an indicated category of 22.74 million tonnes averaging 0.045% U3O8 and 1,606 parts per million total rare earth oxides for 22.55 million pounds U3O8 and 80.51 million pounds REO, or 49.83 million pounds U3O8-equivalent
- an inferred category of 36.56 million tonnes averaging 0.047% U3O8 and 1,554 ppm REO for 37.62 million pounds U3O8 and 125.25 million pounds REO, or 81.84 million pounds U3O8-equivalent.
The inferred numbers represent a 130% increase in total REO and a 136% jump in U3O8. The indicated category rose 10% in both REO and U3O8. The update shows "substantial increases in critical REO resources including neodymium, dysprosium, yttrium, terbium and europium oxides, as well as in scandium oxide resources," the company stated.
Pele Mountain added that two higher-grade zones start at surface, which could allow higher-grade production during the first years of mining.
Working in Elliot Lake between 1956 and 1996 Rio Algom, later incorporated into BHP Billiton, and Denison produced over 300 million pounds of U3O8 and significant quantities of yttrium and heavy REO from deposits similar to that of Eco Ridge, Pele Mountain stated. The mining camp is about 160 kilometres west of Sudbury.
Aldrin increases resolution of PLS-area airborne geophysics
Aldrin Resource TSXV:ALN will add infill lines to an airborne geophysics survey already underway over the Patterson Lake South area. Announced June 12, the decision will increase resolution from 200-metre to 100-metre spacing over conductive anomalies found on the company's 12,001-hectare Triple M property. Aldrin interprets the anomalies as linear basement conductors over three kilometres long, parallel to a magnetically defined fault.
The company holds a 70% option on Triple M, which sits nine kilometres south and 11 kilometres west of the PLS discovery. High-grade, near-surface results from the Alpha Minerals TSXV:AMW/Fission Uranium TSXV:FCU 50/50 JV excited interest in the area in and around the Basin's southwestern rim. The helicopter-borne VTEM magnetic and electromagnetic survey already underway is a joint project that's flying contiguous properties held by Aldrin, Athabasca Nuclear TSXV:ASC (formerly Yellowjacket Resources TSXV:YJK), Forum Uranium TSXV:FDC and Skyharbour Resources TSXV:SYH. Lucky Strike Resources TSXV:LKY and Noka Resources TSXV:NX each hold a 25% earn-in option on Skyharbour's properties.
Aldrin stated the infill lines will help locate drill targets for early winter 2014.

Taylor Swift was nominated for several awards last night. And while she was not named Best Female Artist, she did receive the Country Music Association's Pinnacle Award, an honour that has only been bestowed once before – to Garth Brooks. She's 23 years old. This is HUGE.
How huge?
Look at all the legends who were brought out to PRESENT IT TO HER. And in the video – Carly Simon, Mick Jagger, Ethel Kennedy, Julia Roberts… major, major, MAJOR names.
She's 23 years old.
The rationale behind the decision is that Swift has taken country music to a new level, that because of her, its reach is wider and more influential than ever before. And that even though she's not just a country superstar but a superstar, period, she remains loyal to her country roots and continues to elevate the art form – after all, Swift writes all of her own material. So it shouldn't matter her age, right?
It's a good debate. Because you can't argue the impact she's had on the music industry. At the same time, she is indeed SO young. And if you're telling her it's a pinnacle now…what's left?
As expected, Swift was all open-mouthed awe and modesty last night. After all this time, OMG SHE STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT!?! To her credit though her speech was far from self-indulgent. Almost. The "exhaustion" gave me an eyeroll. Still, she said all the right things and she said them convincingly. The only thing I can hate on is her hair.

Residents of Tolar, Texas, attend a candlelight vigil Wednesday at the old Tolar High School football field to honor hometown Army Special Forces soldier Sgt. 1st Class Riley G. Stephens.
When No. 2,000 fell last weekend in Afghanistan, journalists were keeping count. But is the nation keeping up?
Sunday marks the 11-year anniversary of the first American missile strikes against terrorist and Taliban targets inside Afghanistan. The U.S. military death toll has ticked ever slowly upward from the war's launch in October 2001 as a globally watched counterattack to 9/11 through the height of the Iraq War when service members in Afghanistan darkly dubbed their own battleground "Forgot-istan."
Last Saturday, Sgt. 1st Class Riley G. Stephens, 39, was shot and killed by an Afghan National Army soldier at a highway checkpoint in Wardak Province. The Airborne Special Forces member had three children and a wife. Residents in his tiny hometown, Tolar, Texas, gathered Wednesday night on the local high school football field, burning candles in his honor.
According to The Associated Press, Stephens was the 2,000th U.S. service member killed in Afghanistan, the type of historic landmark that gets the media's notice.

Sgt. 1st Class Riley G. Stephens
But if the simple cold arithmetic of his passing didn't get your attention, you've got company. Although 68,000 U.S. troops remain in that war zone, the majority of Americans have mentally moved along, military experts say, to the point where such tragic notches rarely rate a mention at the supper table and barely raise more than a momentary blip in the Twitter-sphere.
"I don't think it ranked very high" in the nation's consciousness, said Michael O'Hanlon, senior fellow with the 21st Century Defense Initiative and director of research for the Foreign Policy program at the Brookings Institution. "Thoughtful people – even if they have made up their minds about the war – they just want to commemorate it the same way we commemorate Veterans Day or Memorial Day. It merits a little bit of response in that regard. But beyond that, it elicits almost no new policy debate whatsoever."
"A 2,000th fatality does not affect people's (personal) calculus on mission feasibility or the desirability of one policy option over another. It's just going to be a sad milestone," O'Hanlon said.

Perhaps that's partly because America's lengthiest war has not generated the fatal pace of past military conflicts. While 181 U.S. service members have been killed, on average, per year in Afghanistan, the annual death rates for American troops in three previous wars were higher to exceedingly higher – Iraq: 498 per year, Vietnam: 4,850 per year, and Korea: 12,300 per year.
The U.S. military plans to finish a withdrawal of most U.S. troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
"Of course, 2,000 fatalities these days really means 20,000 wounded because we're keeping so many wounded people alive," said O'Hanlon, who describes himself as "a supporter of the mission" in Afghanistan. "So, I think the numbers are pretty high in many ways."
"The fact that the country has sort of tolerated them, even though we're still unhappy about still being in this war, is a testament to the fact that they are not huge," he added. "Most people are not losing sons and daughters and brothers and sisters in this war. And that may explain why we're still all sort of more or less against it and yet tolerating it. We have a presidential campaign in which there's no real pressure to get out and yet everybody wants to get out."

Beyond that, giving special commemoration to the 2,000th service member to die in Afghanistan seems somewhat disrespectful to the 1,999th U.S. troop to die there -- someone whose life story and profound sacrifice may get far less acclaim. Meanwhile, the first casualties of the conflict get shoved deeper into the nation's collective memory, said Paul Rieckhoff, chief executive officer and founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, a nonprofit group with more than 200,000 members.
"The larger concern we have is with that general disconnect," Rieckhoff said. "Obviously somebody was just killed in action there and that person should be remembered and celebrated. But we've also got to remember there are widows who have been dealing with this since 2001. They still need support and their families need care and their kids need to figure out how they're going to school. The price those families pay impacts generations."
"Most Americans aren't constantly thinking about Afghanistan. It's not always in the papers. It's at the end of very few news broadcasts. Maybe there is some fatigue in the general population," Rieckhoff said. "But I also think there's some paralysis: They don't know what to do about it. So, what we simply try to tell them is just make sure you remember the families."

You've done EVERYTHING. You tried every fad diet and workout routine, but nothing is working. You could be sabotaging yourself with daily routines that you think are harmless.
Here are 50 habits that are keeping you fat!
[easy-social-share buttons="facebook" counters=0 style="button" template="23″ fullwidth="yes" point_type="simple" facebook_text="Share On Facebook"]
Every time that we turn around, there's a new diet plan telling us what and what not to eat for weight loss. Some diets will limit you to just lemon juice and peppers, while others are very specific and require a whole lot of discipline and tracking. Yes, sometimes they are just not practical, and it can be hard to watch every single calorie. But you don't have to starve or count food calories. If you just avoid certain fat boosting foods and cooking methods, then you can stay thin. Here are some of the worst…
There's no way around this one, folks: you can't eat fried food if you want to stay lean and mean. Why? Because it generally contains some of the fattiest ingredients that you can ingest, including canola oil, white flour, and corn meal. Besides the fatty content, frying food removes nutrients. For instance, when you fry potatoes, which in their natural state are actually quite healthful, they lose any nutritional value. Fried foods also usually contain Trans fats, which is a major instigator of heart disease. Sorry, but eating that fried chicken just won't do if you want to stay thin.
Processed food, in simple terms, is any food that has been altered from its natural state. Think of this way: if the caveman didn't eat it that way, then it's probably been processed. This includes foods that are canned, frozen, dried, and dehydrated. So why is this a no-no when watching your weight? Well, for starters, when manufacturers take something out or otherwise change a naturally occurring food, then they need to add something else back in, to make it taste better. These additives can be large quantities of sugar, salt and/or artificial flavors. All of this 'nutritional engineering' makes for a lot of empty calories that aren't going to be so easy to burn off.
Ok, sugar's bad for us, we get it, but what about those sugar substitutes? Nope, not those either! Most of those colorful little blue and pink packets that you've always thought were the smarter choice? Well, it turns out that they're probably no better (and might even be worse) than the original evil white dust. While most artificial sweeteners are lower in calories than regular sugar, some studies show that they can actually lead to weight gain. Besides that, they are essentially chemically produced, and have been linked to some types of cancer. Natural alternatives like agave nectar, honey and cane juice are better.
While there may be a lot of foods on the "what not to eat" list when trying to slim down, especially when you commit to fad diets, the good news is that there are actually many that you can and should eat for weight control. These foods include fruits and vegetables, lean meats, fish and poultry, farm fresh eggs, raw nuts and seeds – all the things that we were meant to eat. Oh, and don't forget to drink water; it contains 0 calories, helps to flush harmful toxins from system, and curbs appetite.

Right From the Beginning
How quickly time flies, and how much more quickly they forget? It was ten years ago that I flew to Washington to see Pat Buchanan with a proposal in mind. Scott McConnell was with me, and the deal we presented to Pat was a new magazine whose sole purpose would be to recapture traditional conservatism from the hijackers of the movement, namely the neo-cons, back then, as now, riding high and Iago-like whispering in W's ears about an end to evil.
Pat immediately agreed. "But where's the money coming from?" I swallowed hard, and pointed at my chest. "That's great," said Pat, "when do we start?" It was as simple as that. Pat runs a dry house, which was a bit of a letdown, but I did get rather drunk that evening in Café Milano. They say that owning a yacht is like sitting under a shower tearing up $100 bills. Financing a political magazine is less fun. It's like sitting in a drab D.C. hotel room throwing $1,000 bills into a flickering fire. But I didn't mind. This was six years before the you-know-what hit the fan, and the neocons were going over the top, conflating Israel's interests with America's, demanding that Uncle Sam go to war against Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, and cheer-leading for American "benevolent global hegemony."
The neocons back then—as now—had something very good going for them: namely, the ability of the American people to forget rather easily. In 2002 their rallying cry was the same one they had been preaching for decades, that wars are caused by appeasers, and that it was tough guys like W who do the unpopular thing and stand up to dictators. The media were like groupies allowed inside a rock star's hotel suite. Ready to obey and strip.
Time dulls memory and makes it hard to evoke the war fever of those days, weeks, and months leading up to the greatest disaster ever for Uncle Sam's foreign policy. The ground had been prepared by the usual suspects, the Podhoretzes, Kristols, Feiths, Perles, and Wolfowitzes of this world. Those of us who opposed the war were seen not only as unpatriotic, in a climate reminiscent of the Moscow purges, but also as anti-Semites, America Firsters, racist scum. Attending the funeral of a common friend with William F. Buckley, I noticed Norman Podhoretz about to have a seizure when Bill and I sat next to him. "Nothing to do with you, Bill," I whispered. (Buckley, sitting on my boat three years later, told me that had he known then what he knew at present, he would have never backed the war. I asked if I could quote him and he said, "please do.")
For a start up The American Conservative did rather well straight off the bat. Buchanan's loyal readers had us selling close to ten thousand after couple of issues. Just before we published, we held a press conference in the National Press Club in D.C. It opened my eyes to the hostility of the so-called press. Most of the questions I faced were about my drug bust 25 years previously and whether the Saudis were financing the mag. The dwarfish Bill Kristol had prepared the way by making personal attacks against me, but in view of the fact I had always called him a smiling cobra and a Likud propagandist, that was to be expected. The Saudi query was simply malicious. I loathe the Saudis on a par with the Likudists, but I guess D.C. journalists are too busy trying to get access to the powerful to do any homework.
Our first cover story was written by Eric Margolis and ran as follows: "Iraq folly. How Victory Could Spell American Defeat." Now just think about this. Tom Fleming in Chronicles aside, we were the only conservatives who not only warned that Saddam had no weapons to speak of, we also stated unequivocally that military victory would spell defeat. Ten years later, all we have to do is change a letter, from a Q to an N, from Iraq to Iran. The same slimy types are again beating the war drums.
Neocons only looked dead when the Iraqi disaster became obvious even to people as thick as W, but they are a resilient bunch, like flu bugs, and are back with a vengeance. Now it's Assad and the ayatollahs who are about to blow us up, so we are helping the very same Syrians who are financed by the Saudis and Qataris and who will one day soon be killing Americans wherever they find them. I spent a lot of money financing TAC, and although I say so myself, it really was worth it. We always knew who the fifth columnists were. One day in the future, when history is written, more than just us will come to know it. Happy tenth anniversary!

Prince Harry Heads Out In Hollywood
The young royal takes a break from military training to visit Universal Studios over the Thanksgiving holiday
Riding to Vegas on a motorcycle, clubbing three nights in a row in Sin City – Prince Harry is certainly making the most of his time out West.
The fun continued this week as the Prince, on break from military training in Gila Bend, Ariz. for the Thanksgiving holiday, headed to Los Angeles.
After arriving in the city Tuesday evening, Harry, 27, kicked off the trip Wednesday with a visit to Universal Studios. After a behind-the-scenes studio tour and gourmet lunch, the Prince took a spin on various rides, including King Kong 360 3-D, the War of the Worlds, Jurassic Park: The Ride and Revenge of the Mummy, which he rode twice.
Following a win at the park's carnival games, Prince Harry gifted his prize – a giant stuffed Curious George – to a nearby child.
Later that evening, the Prince was spotted kicking back with a group of pals at his Beverly Hills hotel, happily chatting with one of his female friends.

Has anyone here tried the Speers SPE?
If yes, how about a short review?
Has anyone here tried the Speers SPE?
If yes, how about a short review?
Great product. Everything said about it on the Speer site is true. Really helps in keeping multiple pads together. Dont bother with the 4x4 unless your really big.
"Every day above ground is a good day"
Thanks Fringer.. .hey did you see my other post about being swallowed up by the Speers hammock? Maybe with a pad it wouldn't be so bad.
And no, I'm not big, I'm lit-tle!
My Speer SPE arrived yesterday and I used it last night in an ENO Doublenest with a Big Agnes Re-Routte air mattress with DIY CCF side inserts, on a Byer Vario hammock stand in the living room. The temperature was a frigid 60 degrees. with a newly-purchased dehumidifier (BTW, the de-humidifier is amazing! It makes a soggy, mildewy Pacific Northwest house much more comfortable and reduces wintertime, rainy season allergies to mold and mildew)
The Speer SPE is great. I wish I would've had one during the Summer of 2007, my first hiking/camping season in a hammock, when I used a Hennessy and a DIY. The main problem with a hammock for me is chill from coming into contact with cold nylon. The SPE puts foam along the sides and keeps it there which insulates you from the hammock's cold nylon. I wish I would've bought this thing in the beginning. Its indispensible for cool weather hammocking.
I really liked how I could squirm around and sleep on my side and still be insulation since the SPE keeps pads together.
I disagree. I'm just under 6' tall, about 165 lbs. and not broad shouldered. The SPE's side flaps just barely wrapped around my sides and shoulders because it would slide down the hammock's sides. And, as I wrestled around at night to try to lay flat, the side flaps would get pushed around and baely cover my sides when squished. Perhaps I put a higher value on extra side insulation than others? A short petite female may get by with a 2x2 but I'm sure glad I bought a 4x4.Dont bother with the 4x4 unless your really big.
Last edited by hikingjer; 11-11-2008 at 12:05.
The 2x2 SPE works fine for me in a Hennessy. I'm 5'8"/165#.
I definitely need the 4x4. At 6'1", 205. Well, anyway I prefer it, not sure if I could possibly get by with the 2x2, but it seems like I pretty well take up most of the extra width. I guess I could just put pads in the sleeves next to the pad only sometime and see if I could get by. Great product though, IMO.
I made a homemade version of the 2x2 and it's been fine for me at 5' 10" and 185 lbs. Great idea and the real product is better than my homemade version. Ed and Dave (Youngblood) make some great stuff. If you're gonna use a pad, it's definitely the way to go IMO.
Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall when the wise are banished from the public councils because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded because they flatter the people, in order to betray them. ~Judge Joseph Story

I've thought about building an SPE into a hammock.
It would be as wide as the hammock & sewn to both edges.
don`t leave the CREATOR out of the creation!
i've been kicking around similar crazy ideas slowhike... I'm having a tough time keeping my pad in place sometimes, and I've tried to think of all kinds of nutty stuff to keep it in place. I don't think I'm quite ready to start sewing my brand new hammock, though

Energizer Holdings said Fridaythat it is pulling 23 varieties of UltraMist sunscreen off store shelves due to the risk of the lotion igniting when exposed to fire.
The recall includes aerosol products like UltraMist Sport, UltraMist Ultra Defense and UltraMist Kids.
A company spokesman said there have been five reports of people suffering burns after using the sunscreen in the last year. Four burn cases were reported in the U.S. and one in Canada.
More than 20 million units have been sold since UltraMist launched in 2010, the spokesman said.
Energizer said in a statement that the problem appears to be caused by UltraMist's spray valve, which is over applying the product. As a result the lotion is taking longer to dry, which raises the flammability risk.
"If a consumer comes into contact with a flame or spark prior to complete drying of the product on the skin, there is a potential for the product to ignite," the company said.
UltraMist's label warns users: "Do not use in the presence of a flame or spark. Keep away from sources of ignition - no smoking."
But dermatologists say most people don't read such labels.
"So many people put this on outside, while they're on their way to activities, so I just don't think people are aware of that," said Dr. Michele Green, a dermatologist at New York's Lenox Hill Hospital.
Green said aerosol sunscreens have become popular in recent years because they're faster and easier to apply, but not necessarily more effective.
"I think the old-fashioned creams apply better and seem to protect you better - the sprays just don't seem to work as well," Green said.
The company said it has notified the Food and Drug Administration about the voluntary recall.
Consumers who purchased the products are being told not to use them. More information is available from the manufacturer at 1-800-SAFESUN.
Burn experts said Friday the problem appears to be extremely rare.
"We've found no evidence of this happening before the incidents that came to our attention," said Dan Dillard, executive director of the Burn Prevention Network. Dillard's group was contacted earlier in the year about two burns related to UltraMist. One case involved a man who was standing near a barbecue grill, the other case involved a woman working with welding equipment. Both cases resulted in second and third degree burns.
Dillard pointed out that the ingredients used in aerosol sprays are known to be flammable.

Audi driver Lucas di Grassi celebrates second place at Formula E anniversary
50th race of Formula E and another podium result for Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler: Lucas di Grassi finished the turbulent E-Prix in Hong Kong in second place with a cool head. Team-mate Daniel Abt fought his way up from grid position twelve to fourth place.
Changing weather caused extremely difficult conditions during the anniversary race of the electric series. Both free practice sessions and the qualifying took place in rain. At the start of the race, the track was still wet, but then dried further and further. The safety car was used a total of three times, and shortly after the start the race even had to be interrupted with the red flag. In the race, which was marked by numerous retirements, only 14 of the 22 drivers crossed the finish line.
That's my 29th podium finish in Formula E. But I'm not only very proud of that. It's simply fantastic how this racing series has developed. There is no better one for me at the moment.
Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler is now in second place in the team standings after five of 13 runs, Lucas di Grassi improved to third overall in the drivers' standings, while Daniel Abt is in eighth place.
Here you can find the complete race result and the overall standings.
The sixth Formula E race of the season is scheduled for two weeks from now. On 23 March, the electric racing series will make its debut in Sanya on the Chinese island Hainan.
