farm tours
Busy summer
We all could write that same headline. I just wanted to update y'all on what's been going on since I got my bermudas in a bunch over Uhura.
Trip to Virginia
A friend and I went to Virginia for the Hunt Country Stable Tour. I'm milking the trip for all it's worth for posts for The Horsey Set Net. That link is the gateway to more links to the previous entries, if you'd like to read them. Photos, too. 🙂 I have two (maybe three?) more planned.
BISW (Book in Six? Weeks)
In our case, it's Book in Seven Weeks. The Charter Oak Romance Writers group, one of the two RWA chapters to which I belong, is having an amass-pages-like-a-maniac event from early July through the third week of August. Even though I'm too repressed to be much of a maniac, I'm moving forward. Last week? Crazy good. This week? Oh, not so much.
I pretty much set aside the summer to work as much as I can on my long-standing WIP.
I reduced my posting schedule for the horse blog to twice a week, after having posted daily during the Triple Crown races. Curiosity about those races drove a lot of traffic to my little horsey blog. Some of those readers have stayed on to become RSS feed subscribers.
More travel planning
I'm going to Saratoga for the first time during The Season. Heck, I'm just going to Saratoga for the first time in the nearly 30 years that we've lived here.
I'm also working on a strange combined trip to Kentucky and Indianapolis for the fall. Fly into Louisville, drive to Indianaoplis for an event, drive back to Kentucky for a few days, then fly home from Louisville. It seemed like a good idea when I dreamed it up.
At-home feline health care
Our 12-year-old kitty Amber has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. First, we had trouble figuring out how to get the meds into her. Now, we pulverize the pill and mix it into soft food. Twice a day.
Soon, she got too much of the medication and turned into Yoda with itchy ears. We got her meds balanced (more like, reduced by half). She has mellowed out and looks fluffy again, but she's getting a bit dodgy about the meds and her "treat." It's ongoing. When I finish this, I'll lure her out for her morning's dose. I hope.
In case you're wondering, she lets DH give her her "treats." But we're the only ones. Travel as a couple may be out of the picture for a while. And I don't want to really think much beyond that. 😦
Frankly, how she is while I'm in Saratoga and after my return will tell me if I should go hrough with my travel plans to KY in October, let alone next October for the World Equestrian Games (like the Olympics, but rarer – it's never been held outside Europe.)
I'm battling genetics (a long line of British bulldog women), leftovers from three years on steroids and the menopot. I'm not sure that boot camp at Parris Island would take this off. But I'm doing what I have the strength to do.
* Oh yeah, DH and I scored tickets to see Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig on Broadway in "A Steady Rain."
I know, I know – some of those spill over into fall. But I have even more big plans for fall, including setting up a blog on my author (to be) website, which is now dormant.
When that finally happens, I'll link there from here.
But, first, I need to amass many more pages on that novel. And keep that kitty stable.
Visiting an Old Friend
The horse with his eye on the ridge ahead is Creator. (Let me know if the picture is too big and too slow to load.
He lives at the Old Friends thoroughbred retirement farm. He's handsome, egotistical (horse people call that "studly"), territorial and cheerfully willing to bite the hand that feeds him. Of course, anyone who visits Old Friends falls in love with him immediately.
Old Friends has moved since I took this photo. The farm had leased this property but now has its own farm in Georgetown, KY. I haven't been to the new farm yet. What you see is from a previous location.
But the purchase of the farm has helped with the plan of offering a destination for horse lovers to visit with retired champions. Tours, of course, are offered. And a house on the grounds serves as a B&B. But the best reason for the new property was to expand. Old Friends is now the home to about 28 horses.
Creator was one of the first horses to retire to Old Friends. He's a former European champion who stood at stud in Japan. Now in Kentucky, he greets adoring visitors to who long to pet that handsome head.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 4 so far )
Homes of the Stars – Part 3
As promised, here's Part 3. If you're reading this, then you've seen my question to Suzanne about obtaining photos. This kind of blog needs photos. So maybe I should just give the horse topic a rest and move on to another topic, until I get this snag solved? ;->
Anyway, I promised a Part 3, so here it is. Enjoy!
So, you just found out that tours of Three Chimneys Farm where the popular Smarty Jones lives are booked up for The Entire Time you're in central Kentucky? 😦
Never fear — other fabulous horses live here! 🙂 But where are they? And how do you find them?
Thanks to the power of the Internet, you can find out. First, if you're looking for an individual horse, Google his name and see which farm site has him.
But let's say that you would like to visit a farm on your own self-guided tour. A Bluegrass thoroughbred breeding farm is a beautiful place to see, kind of like a historic house tour. What visitors usually see on a farm tour is the stallion complex. The facilities often show distinctive architecture and beautiful landscaping. Each one has a different style.
To get an idea, as well as some ideas of where to tour, the website for The Blood Horse is a great place to look.
The Blood-Horse Magazine is a trade journal for thoroughbred racing and breeding. If you love pretty horse photos, you'll drool over some of the ads on this site. But right now, you're looking for horse farms to visit.Scroll down the page and keep an eye on the right hand column for the Farm Directory. Heck, you've probably noticed that the whole right hand border is ads for stallions and farms.
Click on any one of those ads or listed farms and look for the "about the farm" page. The magic phrase that you're looking for is "Visitors Welcome" or, better yet, a link to contact for tours.
The farm websites are so pretty that you can almost save yourself the plane, hotel and car rental fare with a virtual tour. Plus, the virtual tour can take you everywhere.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
Homes of the Stars – Part 2
Remember Smarty Jones? (A picture would be nice here, wouldn't it? ;-> Sorry – workin' on it! 🙂 )
Smarty won the hearts of millions in his bid for the 2004 Triple Crown. Was it his comeback story from a nearly-devastating skull fracture the year before? Or his charming senior owners, The Chapmans, who showed us that dreams can come true? Or the way he ran with his ears pinned flat against his head, as if he knew about aerodynamics?
Well, fans who plan ahead, can visit Smarty. I probably should add that you shouldn't try to pet him, unless his groom gives permission. We'll cover horse farm tour etiquette in Part 4. (Don't worry, it's not complicated. Just some common sense.)
Anyway, Smarty now leads the life of a breeding stallion at Three Chimneys Farm in Midway, KY, which is between Lexington and Louisville. The farm offers tours by appointment only.
I remember that when Smarty's retirement was imminent, the Chapmans toured the Bluegrass farms in search of the best home, according to articles I read in The Bloodhorse.com. One of their requirements was that Smarty retire to a farm where his fans could visit him. Three Chimneys fit the bill. So, a prospective visitor wanting to see Smarty Jones needs to make an appointment. The Three Chimneys website has a link for contact info to reserve tours.
Keep in mind that Smarty is a man in demand, both for human visitors and his dates with The Ladies, which is his real job. There are certain times of year that his human visitor appointment calendar is booked up: the week leading up to the first Saturday in May (KY Derby time) and when events are scheduled at the nearby racetrack Keeneland. Plus, the farm is open for tours probably during limited hours on selected days. "Book early" is good advice to avoid disappointment.
But what if Smarty's people say he's tied up (or booked up?) Well, there are plenty of other stars in the Bluegrass.
Finding them will be the topic of tomorrow's installment, part 3.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
Homes of the Stars – Part 1
Let's say that you're a fan of Michael Jordan. And let's say that you find out that he offers "calling hours" every so often in his home. Wouldn't you like to know more?
Well, if you're a fan of champion thoroughbred race horses and if that horse is retired in the Lexington, KY, area, you just might be able to go visit him. Some of the farms, although fewer and fewer, accept visitors by appointment. After all, these are still working farms. And breeding thoroughbred horses is big business.
But so is equine tourism – to the tune of $8.8 billion dollars a year, according to the Kentucky Equine Education Project. The Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau offers tourists a page of info on touring the farms. Visitors have a variety of options, ranging from group tours to independently arranging tours with the farms themselves.
Even if you don't have a favorite horse to see, visiting the farms is a wonderful experience. Many farms are distinctive architectural wonders in themselves. Plus, the farm employees tend to be appreciative of their charges and happy to see interest in them.I tend to prefer calling individual farms myself. My next post tomorrow will cover ways to set up a tour.
(Bear with me. I'm still finding photos and learning this photo isnertion thing. 🙂 Thanks for your patience.)Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 4 so far )

The photopolymerization of CTP plates is mainly composed of a mesh of aluminum base, photosensitive layer and protective layer is composed of three parts, wherein the photosensitive layer is mainly composed of film-forming resin, sensitizing dyes, photo initiator, monomer or oligomer, stabilizer and other additives. The protective layer is an oxygen barrier of polyvinyl alcohol, which is mainly used to block the inhibition of oxygen on monomers or oligomers. The imaging principle, plate after laser scanning, see dye sensitization light photosensitive layer portion of the first absorption photon energy become excited, and then transfer energy to light initiator, initiator decomposition of the formation of free radicals, free radical polymerization of monomer or oligomer polymerization and curing, the formation of the graphic part. The part of the light that develops without removal and forms a blank part. It should be noted that, in the development of the first, should be the first part of the protection layer without washing off, and then alkaline development solution, high sensitivity of the polymer layer, the development is completed, with a brush to completely remove the protective layer. Finally, the resin solution is used to flush the page, and the synthetic resin not only improves the hydrophilicity of the blank part, but also enhances the lipophilicity of the part of the picture and text, and prints after drying.
Characteristics of photo polymerized CTP plate
(1) the photosensitive layer of the photopolymerization type CTP plate is very thin, the image part and the blank part are basically in the same plane, and belong to the traditional offset type, and have higher sensitivity, and the plate making speed is fast.
(2) photopolymerization developer CTP plate is used in alkaline, and the photosensitive layer of film forming resin and monomer or oligomer has certain acid, can be dissolved in alkaline solution by removing alkaline developer and developing, little pollution, is conducive to environmental protection.
(3) the photopolymerization of CTP plates can be used violet laser diode (410nm), argon ion laser (488nm), FDYAG (532nm) laser, infrared laser diode (830nm) plates of different light source, low cost, and the photopolymerization of CTP plates by baked version plates up to more than 100 million.

Regular Savers offered up to 6%
Regular savers are being offered up to 6% on their savings with First Direct and M&S Bank, but is this really the best rate you can get on the market?
The banks are very clever when it comes to marketing their products in the most appealing way, and there is no doubt that a 6% interest rate in the current climate is highly desirable. But when it comes to regular savings accounts, you need to look a little deeper than the headline rate to get the real picture.
For example, on both the First Direct and M&S Bank accounts you can put in a minimum of £25 per month, or a maximum of £300 or £250 per month respectively, and the rate is fixed at that level for 12 months. So over the year you could put a maximum of £3,600 into the First Direct Regular Saver Account, and £3,000 into the M&S Bank Monthly Saver.
However, you need to be aware of one thing when it comes to regular savings accounts with high fixed rates – the banks are not actually offering you that as an interest rate for the entire year on every penny you can pay in. Let us explain.
So, you put in your first deposit – let's say you put the maximum of £300 into the First Direct Regular Saver – and you get 6% over the full 12 months on that money. Great. But the next month you put in the same amount, and because it is not going to be in there for a full year, you actually get 11 months at 6% rather than 12, and then 10 months at 6% for the third payment, and so on.
Ultimately, this means you would actually get an annual rate of 3.2%, and there can be other conditions too. For example, for this account you need to have a First Direct current account in place, and if after the first six months you are not putting at least £1,000 into that account, then you will face a monthly fee of £10.
Put that £60 of fees into the mix, and the interest you would earn from your regular saving would equate to just £55.96 – taking your actual interest rate down to 1.55% - not so impressive now, is it? This is also before any tax has been taken away, if you pay tax, so potentially you could lose 20%, 40%, or even up to 45% of this figure if you are an additional rate taxpayer.
Even the Nationwide Flexclusive Regular Saver offering 5% on minimum deposits of £1 up to £500 per month beats this if you end up paying fees, despite the headline rate being lower. Although you must also hold a 'Flex' current account to access this rate from Nationwide, there is no other condition attached. On the same basis – with the maximum £500 deposit – you would earn an effective rate of 2.68% on the entire amount you can pay in over the year, and you can put more money into the account, so you will get more cash in return.
However, if you really want top rates, then check out the High Interest Current Accounts. For example, the TSB Classic Plus Account pays 4.89% on up to £2,000 – but this is not for a fixed period or an introductory rate. You must pay in £500 per month to the account to qualify for the rate, and if you put in the full £2,000 on day one, assuming the rate remains the same, you would get the full 4.89% for the year, giving you an interest amount of £97.80 before tax.
If you do not have enough money to pay a lump sum into a current account, then a regular saver might still help you beat some of the other accounts available, but the key message is not to be seduced by a higher headline interest rate – because that is exactly what the banks are counting on.
If you don't want to switch your current account here's a few of the best High Interest Paying Current Account rates:
Nationwide Building Society - 4.89% gross (5% AER)
TSB Bank - 4.89% gross (5% AER)

Do you want to stay longer in Mexico, but your tourist card is about to expire? Mexican immigration officials decide how long to give you when you enter Mexico, but if you were granted less than six months, you may be able to extend your stay. You will have to visit the immigration office and complete some paperwork in order to stay in the country legally, however.
About Mexico Tourist Cards:
As a tourist in Mexico, you must have a valid tourist card (FMT). The time period given on your tourist card is at the discretion of the immigration officer who issues it, but the absolute maximum time is 180 days. If you were granted fewer than 180 days when you entered Mexico and you would like to stay longer than the time allotted on your tourist card, you will need to extend your tourist card.
How to Extend Your Tourist Card
Visit the nearest Mexican immigration office. Here is a list: Offices of the Instituto Nacional de Migracion.
You will be asked to show your passport and valid tourist card, as well as proof that you have sufficient funds to support yourself during your stay in Mexico (credit card or bank card, traveler's checks, and/or cash).
You will need to fill in the form you are given in the immigration office and take it to the bank to make a payment, and then return the forms to the immigration office.
Make sure to get there early enough to complete the whole process (including possibly long line-ups at the bank and immigration offices). Immigration office hours are Monday to Friday 9 am to 1 pm, closed on national holidays.

Here's the tweet Alan Shearer put out at the end of the Bristol City vs Huddersfield game last night that ended in a surprise 4-0 win for the 3rd bottom placed Robins side after they were 2-0 up at half time.
That has given Newcastle a huge opportunity today to go 9 points above the Terriers in the Championship, before the long two week International break and a win would be an excellent response following the disastrous result at home to Fulham last Saturday.
If the lads can win today it will make for a good two weeks for Newcastle fans everywhere during the International break.
Alan Shearer loves Bristol City
For instance we can think of how we can take teams like Manchester United and Chelsea to the cleaners next season – things like that …….
🙂 🙂 🙂
Howay The Lads!!
Love you @bcfctweets (for 24 hours only!!!) #toonarmy ??????????

Seems to be an apt thread for another copy and paste.
Copied and pasted with one change, although I think it will be Dwight up front but Murph been the spark for us lately, so Rafa might start him.
3-1 to us.
Bristol City are Geordies!! ?

The Durham real estate market is in a complicated situation – key indicators seem to indicate that the market is recovering, but the lingering effects of the recession continue to plague some hard-hit areas in the North Carolina City. According to an April 7, 2010 article in the News Observer, "Foreclosure filings in the Triangle slowed some in March but total filings for the first three months are still up 56 percent compared to the same period last year. Filings in Durham, Johnston, Orange, and Wake counties totaled 2,386 through the first three months of 2010, the N.C. Administrative Office of the Courts reports." The piece continued to state that "Triangle filings have been up 72 percent compared to last year through the first two months. The four-county region accounted for 14 percent of the 17,552 foreclosure filings in North Carolina through the first three months of the year."
This gradual recovery for Durham real estate, along with some concerted government relief efforts, however, has not been enough for some families. According to an April 11, 2010 article in the Charlotte Observer, "Recent changes to the federal foreclosure-prevention program were billed as helping the unemployed, but in the long run, they actually make it harder for people without jobs to keep their homes." The piece, composed by Stella M. Hopkins, continued to note that "When the new rules go into effect, unemployment benefits will no longer count as income for determining whether a person qualifies for a long-term reduction in their mortgage payments. So for people with no income other than unemployment, there will be no loan modifications – the chief tool for preventing foreclosure."
Some other North Carolina markets, which are in many ways similar to Durham homes for sale, have been seeing an increase in recent sales volume, according to an April 14, 2010 article in the Tidewater News. This piece, written by Gwen Albers, found that "Sales of existing homes in the Isle of Wight and Southampton counties and City of Franklin more than doubled from February to March. Nine homes were sold in February and 22 in March."
Durham, situated in North Carolina, is the county seat for Durham County. It's widely thought of as the cornerstone for the Research Triangle area in the state, as well as being recognized as the 4th greatest city in Carolina when it comes to population. In 2005 the population for the city was recorded as 1,509,560 and has continued to enjoy consistent grow since then.
Durham was established back in 1853, when the state needed a place where a railroad depot could be setup. A county physician named Barlett S. Durham had both his home and his medical practice set up along the railroad's route, and decided to donate some of his land to the depot, which is why it was named Durham Station.
Before the Civil War, Durham grew quite slowly; however once the war came to a close the population started to grow quickly, with the city receiving its official charger in 1869. The growth spurt the population enjoyed was largely thanks to the tobacco industry, which in this time was thoroughly thriving.
Before long, tobacco turned into the legs of the table that was the economy in Durham, although soon textiles were also playing a large part. Because of the fast growth of a city in this time, most of the residential and commercial buildings in Durham date back to the years falling between 1890 and 1930.
Before long, a vibrant African American community had also developed in Durham. Interestingly, some of the greatest businesses to be owned by African Americans have roots in the city, dating back to the 20th century. Some of the better known businesses include Mechanics & Farmer Bank and the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Co. Parrish Street, the same place many of these companies were situated, and soon became affectionately nicknamed the Black Wall Street.
Durham is still home to a diverse mix of individuals of different ethnicities. It is also home to the North Carolina Central University, the Durham Technical Community College and the world renowned and respected Drake University.

Summary of Financial Services Marketing
Pages: 352
Looking for the book?
We have the summary! Get the key insights in just 10 minutes.
5 Overall
Social science research methods and techniques are a valuable marketing tool for large financial institutions whose marketers want to understand their customers better. Author Tina Harrison presents solid ways to apply marketing principles to the financial services industry. However, her textbook has a couple of practical limitations. First, it focuses entirely on the U.K., which limits its broader applicability, although it thoroughly covers British regulations and competition. It also lacks timeliness. Some of the research the author cites goes back more than a decade, although it does show how sociological and psychological information can be used to help promote financial services. Despite these deficiencies, the book provides some good basic information for financial services marketers, such as clear chapters on strategy, including the theory of new product introductions. Given the rapid proliferation of new products and the changes in Internet delivery, discount brokerages and regulations since the book's publication, getAbstract.com finds that it is useful primarily as background reading - but, in that context, it still offers financial service marketers food for thought.
In this summary, you will learn
- Why financial services regulation matters;
- What fiscal impact it has had in the U.K.;
- How research complements a financial services marketing strategy; and
- How financial service firms should develop new products.
About the Author
Tina Harrison, Ph.D., teaches marketing at the University of Edinburgh Management School. She is a former researcher at the Financial Services Centre at UMIST, Manchester, England. She has published widely on financial services marketing and has conducted research for several financial institutions.

Things I've learned from this bout of illness
1. Essential oils work to stop the coughing. I use doTerra oils (and sell them if you're interested). We used Breathe and Eucalyptus with great success. They'd be hacking up a lung at night and I'd go in, oil their feet and throats and they'd sleep quietly the rest of the night.
2. Eating raw garlic burns.
3. Placing raw garlic cloves between each of your toes and trying to sleep is rather painful. I made a valiant effort and woke up at 1:30am with aching toes. Once I pulled out the garlic my feet felt much better.
4. Eating raw garlic mixed with butter on bread only prolongs the pain. It still burns, only you get to enjoy each bite with the burn.
5. Even if you've lost all sense of smell and taste, raw garlic burns your mouth.
6. Even if you've lost all sense of smell and taste, others around you have not and they will think your breath is stinky. They'll even tell you to your face. And pretend to faint every time you walk by.
7. Warm apple cider with a whole lemon squeezed in and a plop of raw honey feels wonderful on sore throats.
8. Steam showers work for calming coughs and unclogging noses. So do steam baths with essential oils added.
9. Hot and Sour soup has wonderful healing properties. So does Chicken Noodle soup. It's been scientifically proven. Really. I alternate between the two. Although I have to get the Hot and Sour from a restaurant. Does anyone have a good recipe for making it at home?
10. Warm apple cider with a whole lemon squeezed in AND some ginger tea (make by boiling water and shredded ginger together) with honey also feels really good. It's a little spicier though.
11. Add cayenne to your chicken noodle soup for some extra healing power. If you have lost your sense of taste and smell you can add quite a bit. You know you've added too much when your tongue starts to burn.
12. You can keep your other kids healthy by making them do all the stuff the sick people have to do - eat the soups, put on the oils, go to bed early, etc.
13. Using On Guard (from doTerra) on the healthy boys feet seems to have helped in keeping them healthy since they are still healthy.
14. Drinking On Guard is truly disgusting. Peppermint oil though is great and eases the congestion.
15. Eating On Guard on crackers with honey and butter is even worse. I made my kids promise me that if I ever tried to get them to eat On Guard they were to run screaming.
16. You can make garlic oil to put on your feet and chest by cutting up some garlic and just barely covering it with extra-virgin olive oil. Let it sit for at least 2 hours, or a few days if possible. Cover the bottoms of your feet (and the top, right where the toes join the foot) and put on some socks. You can also spread it on your chest and throat, but your clothes might get greasy. Then pretend you live in an Italian restaurant because everything will smell all garlicy. Do not, however, lick anyone's garlic feet.
17. Sleep as much as possible.
18. You'll get better faster, or not even get sick in the first place, if you eat healthier. If you do get sick and start feeding your kids (and yourself) cold cereal for breakfast and lunch, they will get sick too. If your husband goes out for burgers or pizza or other such sundries every night because you're sick, and you, the sick person, eat it, you won't get better anytime soon. And everyone else will get sick. Don't fall back on junk food when you're sick.
19. Pray.
20. Pray some more.

I have two tricks I've recently learned that helps me to stay well BIG TIME. In fact, I used to get sick maybe three to six times a year and now I get sick less than once a year. When I feel something coming on, I take some raw garlic, chop it into swallowable sized pieces and swallow them like pills. This works wonders AND doesn't burn my mouth or give me garlic breath. I got rid of a persistant sinus infection a few years ago doing this.ReplyDelete
Trick number two is to take 2000 IU of vitamin D daily. I had a cold that wouldn't quit until a nutrition expert told me to take it and it quickly went away. Recently studies show that vitamin D boosts your immune system. It has helped me to prevent and treat illness. It also helps with winter blues.
doTerra makes On Guard drops which are lovely. I take one anytime I feel the niggling of a sore throat. Stops it quick!ReplyDelete

The hint was quite helpful for me, but not until I started searching on the right side of the trail. I initially zeroed out on the trail, and I immediately picked the wrong side and spent most of my searching time there, while the GPSr continued to wander. Thanks!
By: alpharomero.com Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Small
I was on my way to TC-Butano today, and stopped here for the view and cache. Yes, I frequently eat spinach -- raw, in my salad. Thanks!
By: ed777 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small
I took a counter-clockwise hike around the park today, and this was my first cache. I was grateful for the hint, since I was wandering around, following my GPSr arrow here and there.
By: popeye2 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Small
Yes, the hike is straightforward, but it pretty much kicked my butt today. I am happy to be home and taking it easy. The cache was hidden in quite a nice little spot. I left a CKayaks TFTC geocoin that I picked up last weekend from TC-Calero. Thanks!
By: Trail Reader Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small
Well, I'm glad Mike Ferguson has been found. He probably never realized that he was lost. I took a counter-clockwise hike around the park today, and this was getting toward the home stretch. Thanks!
By: eagleneb22 (with help from my2002cali) Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro
I was out on an errand, and decided to find a couple caches along the way. No problems spotting this one from the right viewpoint. Thanks!
By: eagleneb22 (with my2002cali and GeekOfAllTrad Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro
I made about three trips around before adjusting my viewpoint and spotting the cache. The cache was back in its well stuck mode, so it took a little work to get it out. Thanks!
By: eagleneb22 (with my2002cali and GeekOfAllTrad Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular
I really stepped in it this time. I normally am not so lucky with this type of hide, but I spotted it in the second or third place I looked. I signed the log, jumped back into my vehicle, then it hit me. The smell. It must have been fresh, or I reactivated it by my stepping in it. I got rid of all of it that I could at the next stop, but it was hard to concentrate on anything else, so I was soon headed home for some serious cleaning.
By: Geokashers Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Micro
I got an early start this morning, and it was still quite overcast & cool at this point. I hadn't gotten out my PDA yet to read cache descriptions and hints, and I maintained that here. Thanks!
By: CKayaks Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Micro
This was the first cache of the day that I needed to pull out the PDA for a hint. The cache was concealed nicely by a well-placed board. Thanks!
By: Marky & Joani Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular
I DNFed this in 2005. No problems spotting this one from a distance. The hiking was nice & cool this morning in Calero. Thanks!
By: popeye2 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Small
It has been a while since I did a TC cache, but I will try to get around to all of them eventually. I didn't prepare ahead of time. I just loaded Calero waypoints into my GPSr and headed out early this morning. As I hiked about 500 feet away from the cache, I was starting to wonder how I would get there, but it all worked out in the end. I took the CKayak's TFTC traveling geocoin and left Bytemobile turtle #440. Thanks!
By: Vaudesir Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Small
It was pleasant weather for hiking in Calero this morning - heavy overcast, then partly cloudy. My GPSr took me to the right spot, and the hide was easy enough to figure out without bringing out my PDA. Thanks!
By: Nemglan Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Small
I headed over here from TC-Calero. The weather was nice for hiking Calero - cool and overcast. No problems spotting the hide. Thanks!
By: Mystery Ink Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular
This was my second stop this morning. This is the perfect time of year to hike Calero. The overcast was still heavy as I came by here. Thanks!
By: Geokashers Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Small
I managed to find this one from the waypoint alone. I thought the placement was nice - no trees or bushed to contend with. Thanks!
By: CKayaks Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Regular
This is a nice time of year for hiking Calero. The overcast kept me cool all morning. I dropped the Ol' Woody travel bug here. Thanks!
By: Karen1327 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular
I was the first vehicle in the parking area this morning, and huffed and puffed up here somewhat after 8 am. The weather was still heavy overcast, but there was a promise of sun later. Thanks!
By: cooperphoto Difficulty: 3.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Micro
The cache and note were well tucked away, so I ended up sticking my head in the hole with flashlight before I finally came up with it. Had a nice after-the-rain hike this morning. Thanks!
By: workerofwood Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular
I decided to do a couple little hikes close to home this morning. The creek crossings required some attentiveness since the rocks were wet and the water was flowing well. I think the wet trees contributed to the poor performance of my GPSr, but it got me to the general area, and I spotted the hide without too much trouble. I took the hot rod travel bug and left Bytemobile turtle #437.
By: GoGoJo Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small
I wasn't really planing this hike this morning, but the road to YSI/Youth Hostel was closed with a ranger's truck and a fire truck in the way, so I headed on up Sanborn Road. My GPSr was more flakey than usual. I think the wet trees reduced the reception. It took quite a while to make up its mind, but it finally got me to the right area, and I spotted the cache without too much trouble. Thanks!
By: workerofwood Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular
I poked around a little in the piles of wet leaves, but couldn't come up with anywhere else to hunt.
By: FenninRo and Dixydust Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular
Things were a bit damp this morning, and the creek was running well, but I didn't have too much trouble with this one. Nice spot!

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has donated 50 tons of dates to the people of Ghana towards strengthening the cordial relations between the two countries.
Mr. Abdulaziz Alnasser, the Charge d'Affairs of the Saudi Embassy presented the fruits on behalf of the Kingdom at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs last Tuesday.
"I am honoured to present fifty tons of dates as gift from the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the government of the friendly Republic of Ghana" he said during the presentation.
For the past six years the Kingdom has been consistent with the presentation of the fruits in the same quantity.
The diplomat was joined by colleagues from the King Salman Humanitarian and Relief Centre who arrived from the Royal Kingdom for the occasion.
Foreign Affairs Minister, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey said since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 1960, both have shared common desire to forge friendship and cooperation.
She said the fruits which have been transferred to the NADMO for custody would be distributed to appropriate beneficiaries as the Ramadan approaches.

which way west? Sunday concert series.
All ages welcome!
No cover charge, but your generous donations
make it possible for us to pay the musicians.
Sunday, Jan. 20 – 4:30-6:30 pm: Mike Lipskin & Dinah Lee
with Paul Mehling & Jerry Logas.
Mike Lipskin is a 50-year veteran Stride Jazz pianist who has an original sound within that idiom. Early on, Lipskin gained the stamp of approval of giants including Willie "The Lion" Smith, Eubie Blake, Dick Hyman and Jay McShann. He will be making swinging jazz combinations with stellar guitarist Paul Mehling, leader of the Hot Club of San Francisco, Dinah Lee, distinctive jazz vocalist, and reed man in the Lester Young tradition, Jerry Logas. This will be a rich and satisfying program of lovely, irresistible songs from the classic American Songbook of the 20s, 30s and 40s together with engrossing jazz instrumentals.
Lipskin has appeared at Carnegie Hall and the Newport Jazz Festival, has toured the U.S. and Europe, and directed and performed in eight "Stride Summit" concerts for SFJazz at Davies Symphony Hall and Masonic Auditorium. He has also been a mainstay in classic San Francisco clubs from the Washington Square Bar & Grill and Moose's to Stars and Bix, and is acclaimed internationally as one of the top interpreters of Stride Jazz, a distinct discipline. This formative and full jazz style has a characteristic left hand action, rhythmic complexities, tension and release dynamics with varied harmonic structures. It came into its own in the 1920s and 1930s, and also can be the most classically oriented of jazz piano styles. Fats Waller, James P. Johnson, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Art Tatum were all Stride Jazz pianists.
Besides receiving instruction from Smith, Lipskin gained from interaction with famed stride jazz players Luckey Roberts, Cliff Jackson and Donald Lambert on his teenage visits to Harlem in the 1950s. He's done much to keep this music in focus for modern audiences through performances, media appearances and college lectures. Lipskin was also A&R producer for RCA New York, releasing many reissues of historical classic jazz, pop recordings and producing fusion music and rock there as well. Lipskin will present two more Stride Summits in San Francisco and Walnut Creek this coming August.
Singer Dinah Lee has been digging into the American popular song of the 20s, 30s and 40s — thrilling audiences in Arizona, California, and New York, garnering accolades from the likes of legendary record producer Jerry Wexler for her original "stamp" and inspiring performances. Mike & Dinah, joined by Jerry Logas, recently released a terrific recording called "A Sweet Beginning". Bird & Beckett audiences know Jerry Logas' work well, as he's a regular on the first Friday of each month, playing inimitably beautiful and mellifluous tenor, bari sax, clarinet and flute. As for Paul, he's a terrific guitarist known widely for his work in a Django Reinhart gypsy jazz bag, and has become a key component of Mike & Dinah's current performing quartet. For obvious reasons, we're very proud and excited to present this group at Bird & Beckett!

With regards to NCEES and the calc policy, it appears that aerospace engineers are exempt from licensing.
As much as I like the 33s for its daily utility, I am partly employing it to remain unspoiled when it comes time for the EIT exam. My work experience as a student has been entirely aerospace/structures related. I intend to remain in this area, but my BS is in mechanical engr.
I find it interesting that the PE is required to contract in most cases even in aerospace. I can't help but envy my aero-colleagues...no EIT -> no HP ban.
Then again, our applicability as MEs' is broader.
NCEES currently offers PE exams in 16 engineering disciplines, plus the PS exam for surveyors. Individual states may offer any or all of these NCEES exams. In addition, some states develop their own PE exams in disciplines not addressed by NCEES.
However, NCEES does not offer a PE exam in aerospace engineering, and I don't think that any state has one either. Aerospace engineers would typically work under the "industrial exemption", and would therefore not need to be licensed. An aerospace engineer that did pursue licensure would most likely take the ME PE exam.
For most US engineers -- with the exception of civils -- licensure exams and NCEES calculator rules are optional. Only about 20% of US engineers will ultimately become licensed, and the majority of those will be civils. For non-civils, the percentage of licensed engineers would be even lower, probably less than 10%.
With regards to NCEES and the calc policy, it appears that aerospace engineers are exempt from licensing.
I beleive that Aeros are exempt from licensing only if they work for a company under the industrial exemption.
If an aero plans on starting a business offering their services to the public or working as a consultant while holding themselves out as an engineer, I am pretty sure that they will need the P.E.

Using the euro
The Central Bank of Ireland is responsible for providing euro banknotes and coins to strict quality standards that have been established for the Eurosystem.
This document covers information on the security features of euro bank notes and coins – and what to do if you suspect you have counterfeit currency.
The Central Bank website also has answers to frequently asked questions about using the euro in Ireland.
There are seven different euro banknotes: €500, €200, €100, €50, €20, €10 and €5. All euro banknotes include some high-tech security features. If you are not sure whether a bank note is genuine, you should always check several features. If in doubt, compare the banknote with one you know to be genuine.
The European Central Bank (ECB) suggests that you carry out three checks on euro bank notes:
- How they feel
- How they look
- What you see if you tilt them
- Paper: All euro banknotes are printed on pure cotton paper, which feels crisp and firm (not limp or waxy).
- Raised print: Special printing makes the ink feel raised or thicker in the main image, the lettering and the value numerals on the front of the banknotes. To feel the raised print, run your finger over it or scratch it gently with your fingernail.
- Additional tactile marks for the visually impaired are included on the bottom edge of the €200 banknote and on the right-hand edge of the €500.
- Watermarks: All euro banknotes contain a watermark that is visible when held up to the light. This watermark shows a picture and displays the value of the banknote.
- Security thread: The security thread is embedded in the banknote paper. If you hold the banknote against the light, the thread will appear as a dark stripe. The word 'EURO' and the value can be seen in tiny letters on the stripe.
- Perforations: Hold the banknote against the light. In the hologram you will see perforations which form the € symbol. You can also see small numbers showing the value.
- Holograms and colour-changing numbers: Low-value notes (5, 10 and 20 euro) have a hologram foil stripe on the front. Higher-value notes (50, 100, 200 and 500 euro) have a hologram patch on the front and a colour-changing number on the back.
- When you tilt a low-value note, the euro symbol and the value of the banknote appear on a glossy stripe on the back. When the banknote is tilted under a bright light, the stripe shines and slightly changes colour.
- When you tilt the front of a high-value note, an image of the architectural motif and the value of the banknote appear. When you tilt the back of the banknote, the value numerals change colour from purple to olive green or brown.
Additional security features
On some areas of the banknote, you can see tiny writing. For example, inside the 'EYPΩ' (euro in Greek characters) on the front. You will need a magnifying glass to see it. The microprinting is sharp (not blurred).
Check with an ultraviolet lamp
Under UV light:
- The paper itself does not glow.
- Fibres embedded in the paper appear, coloured red, blue and green.
- The flag of the European Union looks green and has orange stars.
- The signature of the ECB President turns green.
- The large stars and small circles on the front glow. The map, bridge and value numeral on the back appear in yellow.
You can view images of genuine bank notes and explore interactive displays of security features on the European Central Bank website.
There are eight different euro coins (1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent or 1, 2 euro coins). One euro is worth 100 cent. The coins vary in size, colour and thickness according to their values.
Euro bank notes from all EU member countries look exactly the same. However, coins differ. Although all euro coins have a common 'European' side, they also have a 'national' side. The European side features designs common to all euro countries, showing various maps of Europe surrounded by the 12 stars of the European Union. The reverse side of each coin shows an individual design relating to each member state. The Irish national side depicts the harp. All euro coins are legal tender throughout the euro area, irrespective of which national side the coins have.
The edge of each coin has been milled (specially marked), which makes it easier to recognise different values. This is very important for people with visual impairments. Special bi-metal technology is incorporated into the larger 1 and 2 euro coins to prevent counterfeiting.
The ECB and the Central Bank website have more information about euro coins.
Counterfeit notes and coins
It is a criminal offence to keep or pass on a banknote which you believe or know is a counterfeit. You should check your change regularly for suspect notes and coins.
What should I do if I suspect a bank note or coin is counterfeit?
If you believe you are in possession of a counterfeit, you must take or send it to your local financial institution (for example, your bank), the Gardaí, or the Central Bank National Analysis Centre/Coin National Analysis Centre (NAC/CNAC). Please include your details along with details of the suspect counterfeit and anything you know about where it came from.
Financial institutions must by law retain suspect counterfeit notes or coin and submit them to the Central Bank NAC/CNAC. You can also contact the National Analysis Centre online.
If you submit a suspect note or coin to your local financial institution, you should get a receipt to confirm your submission. No refund will be given at this time. If the banknote or coin is deemed genuine, your bank will give you the value of the note. If you send suspect notes or coins to NAC or CNAC, you will receive a letter acknowledging the submission. If the notes or coins are deemed genuine, you will receive a replacement by post.
However, if the banknotes or coins are counterfeit you will get no refund.
What should I do at work if I am given a banknote I suspect to be fake?
The ECB recommends the following steps for people working in shops or places that deal with cash:
- Do not get into an argument with the customer.
- Tell them that you need to speak briefly to your supervisor or a security officer, but ensure that the customer can always see the banknote, to avoid any complaints.
- Get your supervisor or the security officer to speak to the customer.
- Make a mental note of the customer's appearance.
- If at all possible, do not return the banknote to the customer.
- If the customer leaves by car, make a note of their number plate and type of car.
- Contact the Gardaí Siochana.
- Hand over the suspect banknote without delay to your supervisor or security officer for forwarding to the police.
- Do not try to be a hero – make sure you are safe at all times.

Bad Breath
Posted July 22, 2010 and tagged Awkward, Blog, Disasterous Moments, Food, Gross Stuff, Listen, Manly Feats, Performing, Personal Hygiene by robsachs
So somehow despite my last gefilte fish experience with Dan Pashman, I successfully lured him back to doing another podcast with me, this time at the Strand Bookstore in NYC where he brought along his Sporkful cohost Mark Garrison for an exploration on how to conquer bad breath. We (ok mostly just I) scarfed down such noxious edibles like pickles, Doritos, tuna salad, liverwurst, bleu cheese, raw garlic, and of course one big bite of a raw onion. I also had a secret nasty ingredient but you'll have to listen to the podcast to find that out. Of all the things I ate, I'm going to have to say the onion was actually the hardest smell to get rid of. And what were my solutions? We tried out a range of antidotes from mint leaves to lemons, toothpaste to tongue scrapers to my coup rinsing with some hydrogren peroxide (my cousin the endocrinologist assured me I'd be ok as long as I didn't swallow. After trying all these methods I think my breath improved somewhat but I think the consensus we all came to was that if you're going to eat stinky food and you're concerned about your breath, make sure your significant other eats the same thing you do.

Evidence of the Use of Chinese Stones in Japan during the Meiji (1866-1925).
There is an ongoing debate about the influence of Chinese stone appreciation culture on comparable Japanese practices. This article presents evidence of the use of Chinese stones as decoration in the Japanese Sencha tea ceremony and their use in early stone exhibitions in Japan. Many leaders in Japanese stone appreciation agree that the practice originated in China and was introduced to Japan where it was modified accordingly. Keiji Murata, a key figure in the popularization of suiseki in Japan in the 1960s and 1970s, stated in his 1962 book Modern Suiseki Illustrated that "suiseki is a charming hobby to appreciate beauty of the nature which the learned in Japan has created by influence of Chinese culture."
Covello and Yoshimura wrote in their 1984 book that "the art of suiseki is believed to have originated some 2,000 years ago in China…. The Japanese adapted the art to their own tastes and have practiced it to this day." Then in 2005, Japanese specialist Kin'ichi Yoshimura, Suiseki, An Art Created by Nature, wrote that "The culture of stone appreciation was introduced into Japan from China and it adapted and evolved in Japan." There are earlier and later references to the use of usual decorative stones in Japanese culture than this period of Japanese history. The late Meiji was a period of significant interest of suiseki in Japan. Four examples of the use of Chinese stones in Japan during this time are documented in following publications.
An illustrated, two-volume catalog, Juraku-kai, of a 1903 exhibition of bonsai and stones in a restaurant in Tokyo clearly shows the use of some Chinese stones in tokonoma displays. At least three Chinese stones are referenced in the text and then illustrated. Two are identified as Chinese Lingbi stones, while a third stone is not identified as to the type of stone, only the country of origin.
The Sencha Ceremony is another important Meiji book that illustrates this use of Chinese stones. The use of tea leaves defines the sencha tea ceremony, while macha tea ceremony uses powdered green tea. Both forms of the tea ceremony originated in China; however, today, the macha form is more widely used in Japan than in China. A formal procedure is used in a tea house for the tea ceremony. Guests are inviting into a small receiving room in preparation for the tea. This room is decorated with select objects for guests to view and help develop the proper frame of mind before drinking tea. Scrolls, stones, flower arrangements, and small accessory items are among the decorative pieces.The Sencha Ceremony consists of two volumes, the first published in 1909 followed by the second volume in 1910. The second volume focuses on display—text and illustrations--about how to properly display and decorate the receiving room in a tea house. Several of the illustrations of correctly displayed receiving rooms include the use of Chinese stones. This is significant considering the importance of the tea ceremony in Japanese culture.
The third example is the Meiji 44 (1909) book Collection of Bonsai and Unique Stones by Shunmu Ebara. He describes and illustrates the use of a Chinese Lingbi stone in this volume. Marushima, in his valuable reference Japanese History of Stone Appreciation (1992), described an exhibition in a Kyoto club of Chinese and Japanese stones in 1910.
These four volumes provide clear evidence that Chinese stones were collected and sufficiently valued to be used in exhibitions of stones and as decorative items in formal receiving rooms for the Sencha tea ceremony. Later, Chinese stones lost their appeal as Japanese stone enthusiasts adopted this art form to the use of Japanese stones and Japanese cultural preferences. Certain Chinese stones continued to be held in high esteem, particularly older stones that were brought to Japan by monks during the Edo period.

Kevin Mays, Bowling Green, KY
Kevin started running at age 47 when he was over weight. He said his first running event was painful and embarrassing but changed him. Eventually he realized that running could free him to be healthier, have more energy and just be a better overall person – and it didn't matter if others were faster than him or not. He has since competed at every running distance from a 5k to the marathon, long distance cycling events and triathlons. His most recent endeavor was creating the White Squirrel Striders running club to introduce new people to running and healthy living.
Why Kevin likes Team Magic events: At my first Team Magic race in 2015 I was blown away by the attention to detail, resources, volunteers and overall atmosphere of the race. It was obvious to me that Team Magic makes every participant feel like they are racing in the pros!
Motivational Quote: "I may not be there yet, but I am closer than I was yesterday." And "Suck it up, Buttercup!"
2018 Race Schedule: Music City St. Patrick's Day 5k, Chattanooga Waterfront Tri, Music City Tri, Cedars of Lebanon Tri, Alabama Coastal Tri, Mt. Juliet 5k and maybe all the other events on the Team Magic caledar!

As I write this, the sun is shining and the temps have warmed some, but I'm not fooled by the twisted sense of Mother Nature's humor. I know that there are still many days of winter left before triathlon season kicks back into gear, so there's still off-season work to be done.
Confession time, I get bored easily! There's no way I'm going to spend hours on the treadmill or the bike trainer, so I thought I'd share some of my favorite winter workouts that help keep me motivated . . . and sane!
Hit the Trails. I love spending time in the woods, so it seemed a natural fit to combine running with the outdoors and take up trail running. The running is considerably different on trails than roads, so don't expect to go out at the same pace or distance than you normally run. The mechanics, however, provide a fantastic workout in a short length of time. For added fun, bring along a mountain bike and get some pedaling in as well!
Get Wet. Most communities have some sort of inside pool facilities, so don't skip out on practicing laps just because it's winter. You can also find local USA Masters Swimming facilities at https://www.usms.org/. You'll have to pay some registration fees, but they come with coaches who can help you improve your strokes and form.
Lift Weights. One of our biggest errors, as runners and triathletes, is to focus solely on our road or pool work but not our muscles. Jason Fitzgerald, a USATF-certified running coach, says weight training helps runners to prevent injuries, run faster and improve overall economy (Runner's World, January 2018). We're not talking about going all Arnold Schwarzenneger . . . all it takes is 30 minutes, 2 to 3 days a week. My favorite is the StrongLifts 5x5 Workout (https://stronglifts.com/5x5/).
Run With Friends . . . or Squirrels! One of my favorite ways of staying true to my training program is to include weekly runs with my regular running group. Our White Squirrel Striders meet every Tuesday night for a challenging run, then celebrate afterwards with good beer and food. Look around in your community and I'll bet you'll find a similar group. If you're ever in Bowling Green, KY on a Tuesday night . . . come run with us!
