The shooting mode choices include: Scene Recognition (SR Auto): With this "point and shoot" mode, the camera automatically adjusts the settings to suit the scene. The following scenes are selected automatically: portrait, landscape, night landscape, macro, night portrait, and back-lit portrait. Auto: A point and shoot mode recommended for first time users of digital cameras. Scene Position: You can select a scene suited to the subject or shooting conditions, and store it for quick access. Available scenes include: Zoom Bracketing, Natural Light, Natural and Flash, Portrait, Baby Mode, Smile & Shoot, Landscape, Sport, Night, Night (Tripod), Fireworks, Sunset, Snow, Beach, Party, Flower, and Text. Motion Panorama: You can take up to three pictures and join them together to form a panorama. Use of a tripod is recommended in composing overlapping shots. P, S, A, M: Program AE: The camera sets the exposure automatically. Shutter Priority: You choose the shutter speed, letting the camera set the aperture for optimal exposure. Aperture Priority: You choose the aperture, letting the camera set the shutter speed for optimal exposure. Manual: The Manual mode lets you choose both shutter speed and aperture. Custom Mode: In P, S, A, and M modes, the Custom Set option in the shooting menu can be used to save current camera and menu settings. These settings are recalled whenever the mode dial is rotated to C (custom mode): f-mode menu: ISO, Image Size, Finepix Color Shooting menu: Image Quality, Photometry, White Balance, AF mode, Sharpness, Flash, AE Bracekting EV Steps, and Face Recognition. Setup menu: Image Disp, Dual IS Mode, AF Illuminator, Digital Zoom, and EFV/LCD mode Other: Shooting mode (P,S,A, or M), continuous shooting mode, Intelligent Face Detection, Instant zoom, macro mode, exposure compensation, flash mode, shutter speed, aperture, display type, indicators, or best framing. Movies: Lets you record HD or SD movies with sound. Intelligent Face Detection: When Face Detection is On, the camera automatically detects human faces anywhere in the frame and sets the focus and exposure for shots that emphasize portrait subjects. This mode will prevent the camera from focusing on the background when taking group portraits or self portraits. Intelligent Face Detection also offers a red-eye removal option for removing the red-eye effects caused by the flash. Blink Detection: With Face Detection on, the camera will display a warning if it detects subjects who may have blinked when the picture was taken. This allows you to view the image, zoom in on the subject, and choose whether or not to reshoot the picture. Dual Image Stabilization: When shooting in a poorly lit area, any degree of camera shake can cause blurry pictures. In this case, Image Stabilization (CCD shift type) is combined with high sensitivity to reduce the effect of the camera shake and subject blur. Dual IS can be enabled continuously or only when the shutter button is pressed halfway. ISO Sensitivity: You can manually set the camera's sensitivity to ISO 64, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, or 6400. The Auto settings will adjust the sensitivity settings according to the shooting conditions. Auto (800) and Auto (400) have maximum value limits of 800 and 400 respectively. The higher the sensitivity setting, the better the camera is at reducing blur in poor lighting conditions, however, high settings can result in more noise in the recorded images. White Balance: White balance is used to preserve natural colors under different types of lighting. You can select Auto, Direct Sunlight, Shade, "Daylight" fluorescent lamps, "Warm White" fluorescent lamps, "Cool White" fluorescent lamps, and Incandescent light. You can also measure for a white balance setting that best matches the light source. Exposure Compensation: You can alter the exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. You can adjust the exposure a total of 13 steps from -2.0 to +2.0 EV in 1/3 EV steps. Exposure compensation is available in the P, S, or A shooting modes only. Continuous Shooting: You can capture motion in a series of pictures using the Continuous Shooting (or Burst) mode. The following modes are available: Top 6: Camera takes up to six pictures, at up to 1.2 fps, while the shutter button is pressed. Final 6: Camera takes up to 40 pictures, at up to 1.2 fps, while the shutter button is pressed, but only the last six are recorded. Long Period: Camera takes pictures, at up to 1.2 fps, while the shutter button is pressed, and ends when the button is released or the memory becomes full. Top 20: Camera takes up to 20 pictures, at up to 3.3 fps, while the shutter button is pressed. Image size is Medium. Top 40: Camera takes up to 40 pictures, at up to 8 fps, while the shutter button is pressed. Image size is Small. AE Bracketing: Each time the shutter button is pressed, the camera takes three shots, at up to 1.2 fps: one at the metered value for exposure, the second overexposed and the third underexposed. The amount of over- and under-exposure can be set to ±1/3EV, ±2/3EV, or ±1EV in the shooting menu. Self-timer: The camera gives you the choice of a 10-second or 2-second self timer. Auto Focus: In most cases, the SL260 uses contrast-detection TTL (through the lens) Auto Focusing. The camera can be set to focus on the subject continuously, or when the shutter button is pressed halfway. You can also select the focus area: Center, Multi, Area, Continuous, or Tracking. Focus Range: The camera's focus range is approximately 1.3' to infinity (wide angle) and 9.1' to infinity (telephoto). In the Macro mode, the focus range is approximately 2.7" to 9.8' (wide angle), 6.5' to 9.8' (telephoto), and 0.7" to 3.2' Super Macro--wide angle). Flash Modes: The FinePix SL260 has a built-in manual pop-up flash with an effective range of 1.3' to 26.2' (wide angle), and 8.2' to 13.4' (telephoto) when sensitivity is set to ISO800. In macro mode, the range is 0.9' to 9.8' (wide) and 6.5' to 9.8' (telephoto). Red-eye removal minimizes the "red-eye" effect, and is available for each flash mode. You can choose from the following flash modes: Auto: flash fires automatically as required by the shooting conditions Forced Flash: flash will fire whenever a picture is taken Slow Synchro: auto flash combined with slow shutter speeds (tripod recommended) Flash Off: You can close the pop-up flash when flash photography is prohibited, or to capture natural lighting under dim light. Hot Shoe: The camera has a hot shoe that allows you to mount an optional flash unit, such as the Fujifilm EF-20 or EF-42. Light Metering: The SL260 uses 256-segment, TTL (through-the-lens) metering, where the camera automatically assesses the scene and selects the optimum exposure. You can select from three metering modes: Multi, Spot, and Average. Voice Memo: You can add a voice memo of up to 30 seconds to a still picture when it is displayed in the playback mode. Voice memos are recorded as PCM-format WAV files. Viewing Images: Images can be played back one-at-a-time or in multi-frame views. Multi-frame options include side-by-side (with the previous and next images appearing as smaller thumbnails), 9-image grid (3 x 3), and a 100-image grid (10 x 10) of micro-thumbnails. Image Search: You can choose to sort your images by date, face, subject, favorites, scene, file type, and upload mark. Slide Show: You can view pictures in an automated slide show. When a movie is displayed, playback will begin automatically. You can select a Normal slide show that displays a single image at a time, a slide show that will automatically zoom in on faces selected with Intelligent Face Detection, or display several pictures at once. PhotoBook Assist: You can create a photo album inside the camera. You can select pictures stored on the memory card to be displayed in the PhotoBook. Up to 300 pictures can be added to a PhotoBook. PhotoBook can be viewed in the camera, or copied to a computer using the supplied MyFinePix Studio software.

Using the supplied MyFinePix Studio software, items added to the upload queue can be easily uploaded from your computer. Printing Pictures: Using DPOF (Digital Print Order Form), you can designate which images to print, and whether to print them with or without date.

Organizers of a counter petition in the battle over land on Fort Ord turned in more than 20,000 signatures Thursday morning at the Ford Ord Reuse Authority.
The "Secure the Promise" group submitted about 3,000 more signatures than needed in its effort to keep 540 acres on the former Army base open for development.
The petition was created in response to the Fort Ord Access Alliance petition, which seeks to keep that land from being developed.
"It's important to show the public we had broad-based support for the petition," said Mary Ann Leffel, president of the Monterey County Business Council.
Access petition spokesman Jason Campbell said Thursday afternoon his group was "more than halfway there" with signatures and he was confident they would get enough by the September deadline.
Both sides are gathering signatures to put their initiatives on a special election ballot.
The issue's lightning rod is the proposed Central Coast State Veterans Cemetery, which would be partially funded by development near land the Access Alliance seeks to keep from being developed.
James Bogan, president of the Monterey County Veterans Council, arrived at FORA's office in Marina at 9 a.m. Thursday with his pickup filled with petitions.
FORA Executive Officer Michael Houlemard greeted the group in the parking lot. He was wearing a U.S. Army pin on his jacket.
About 20 supporters, mostly veterans, carried the 27 boxes one by one into the office.
FORA's lobby turned into a makeshift meeting hall, with speeches about veterans and a group prayer led by the Rev.
Leffel said the veterans council hired about 10 petition gatherers paid about $3 per signature — to "supplement" volunteers. The final tally for how much the petitioners cost was not yet available.
Campbell said his group has also hired supplemental gatherers but did not have available the number hired or how much it cost.
He said they started with just volunteers in April but decided about three weeks ago to hire petition gatherers.
Petition signer Alfred Diaz Infante, president and CEO of Community Housing Improvement Systems and Planning Association, or CHISPA, said the effort was "really about providing opportunities."
Like many of the veterans and business leaders who supported the petition, Infante said he wanted FORA's reuse plan to continue to allow for development to boost job creation.
He said "certain groups — extremist groups" were wrong to use the ballot box to shape land-use policy.
FORA legal bills
Houlemard said Thursday that FORA had hired attorney Steven G. Churchwell, of the Sacramento-based Churchwell White law firm, to assist with election issues.
The contract is not to exceed $25,000, Houlemard said.
FORA chairman Jerry Edelen said earlier this week the agency had attorneys but needed one with election expertise.
"This is uncharted territory," he said. "We need to make sure everything we do is absolutely by the book."
FORA is in charge of the potential election — not the county — because the state considers it the decision-making group for the land. A date has yet to be set for the special election.
Houlemard said they would decide within 48 hours who to hire to count signatures. FORA must also hire someone to handle the countywide election.
Initial estimates from FORA put the cost of the election to be about $1 million.

The Craver Compound
House Tour
Location: Arapaho Hills, Littleton, Colorado
Size: 1,200 square feet main level, 1,000 square feet finished basement
Years lived in: 4 1/2 years
What do you get when you combine an architect, a veteran picker + vintage dealer, a kid that enjoys thrift shops and estate sales, and a cute-as-pie little girl all under one roof? The amazing Craver family and their treasure trove of a home! Nestled in the historic Arapaho Hills neighborhood of Littleton, Colorado stands a beautiful piece of history that has been lovingly restored by a playful, creative family.
The Cravers purchased the home just over four years ago and have worked hard to bring back its original charm. The previous owner had laid carpet, whitewashed the walls, and created a large master bedroom by combining two smaller rooms. Luckily, Chris was able to obtain the original plans for the house, and started the process of putting all the pieces back together.
Tiffany's previous employment at Design Within Reach and her current line of work aided in the quest to fill the home with unique treasures. Charlie might be the only kid his age that knows the value of a vintage transformer, while Chelsea is sure to have the only 1950s tin kitchen set on the block. Touring the Craver Compound you will find there is something for everyone, and a fantastic story to accompany each find. Thanks for sharing your wonderful home, Craver family!
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style: We both love mid century modern design. Tiff has a great eye and a love for all things vintage. I like to design and build new features into the existing architecture. I wish I was more Mod Men style. A modern day "June and Ward" — Charlie stars as the "Beaver".
Inspiration: Other mid century modern homes in the neighborhood and homes from the case study program. A trip to Palm Springs, California and Siesta Key, Florida, where there is an appreciation for mid century architecture and a large number of preserved homes.
Favorite Element: For me, the restored mahogany woodwork. For Tiff, the kitchen.
Biggest Challenge: Remodeling your own home with children. Restoring a gem that has been badly remodeled by a previous home owner.
What Friends Say: The front of the house is fairly unassuming, so I think they are surprised by the openness, the glass, the wood ceiling and the view. Have you seen that show, Mad Men? Can I have one of those beers? We also joke and call our house the Craver "Compound".
Biggest Embarrassment: Our tan on taupe bathrooms are right off the sale rack at Home Depot. Then there's our weed filled back yard. Can we apply for that "Yard Wars" show?
Proudest DIY: The kitchen was the biggest and most challenging, but also the most rewarding.
Biggest Indulgence: The swimming pool, which we have almost completely redone.
Best Advice: Have a plan before you start. And once you start, do your best to finish it. I have about twenty things going on around the house and they are all at about 75% complete. Retrofit your house with things that will complement the house's style. If you have a 90's tract home, I have your bathroom… come and get it.
To quote Vera Neumann "Hire the best architect you can afford, even if you can't really afford him at all, and you'll save money on everything." She also had an amazing "Compound" designed by Marcel Breuer!

love the kitchen, is the backsplash also made of wood?
Fabulous home - and I have that exact same play kitchen that was my aunt's from the 1960s. I played on it myself as a child in my grandma's basement, now it is in my basement and my kids use it while I do laundry. Oh, the memories.
Wonderfully Mid-century! Beautiful.
Hey, its too bad that little boy doesn't like Star Wars. Kids these days. ;-)
Lovely family...looks like people you'd want to know.
I am NOT a fan of sleek modern kitchens but I just cannot stop drooling over that giant island. I love the layout.
Would love to see the "before" photos of this house. I'm trying to convince my in laws to rehab a older home to give it an open floor plan and this post is super inspiring. Great work!
That Star Wars room is AWESOME. I am insanely jealous.
@ tetgrondona sorry there are no photos of the pool. It is covered for the season. We are still working on our backyard and painting the back of the house. Hopefully by next pool season it will be looking good. Fingers crossed for "Yard Wars"!
Gorgeous. Love it all.
Denver/Boulder/Fort Collins are under rated. Glad to see lots of home tours from out of there on AT lately. Thanks Dave for the more photos.
Yes. We used leftover cabinet panels to do the backsplash. Since they are wood veneer, they are not holding up well directly behind the sink. Eventually, we'll change this out for solid wood or tile.
Beautiful house. I like all the windows. Good use of space. I also love that kitchen and island. I love this part of Littleton and would love to live in this neighborhood. Thanks for the peek into your home.
Beautiful job integrating the needs of all your family members in your house. I love the windows, the kitchen, and the wood. Go Bucks!
They did a great job,and it certainly is accurate,but honestly,Im tired of the whole mid century look.Its not unique when 8 jillion other people are doing the exact same thing.
Love the kitchen and the Star Wars room.
Love it! The kitchen island especially, it's perfect. I'm wondering - what type of flooring is in the kitchen/dining/living room?
I don't even like MCM, but then I see something like this...
Maybe it's because the family's so cute. Or because it's so perfectly done. LOVE it. (Especially the Star Wars bedroom and the play kitchen...not to mention that *real* kitchen, OMG.)
Beautiful burl wood form with the birds. I stopped and gazed at it for a while.
The wood paneling on the ceiling is visually too heavy for my taste. Makes the space dark. I would probably paint it white leaving the parallel beams unpainted.
But otherwise I find it very homey and down-to-earth. Probably because it's not too MCM-stylized like other homes.
It's so nice to see a home where the kids are clearly allowed to be kids!
I like you photo walls in particular. comfortable and warm home.
Wow, I LOVE it. Beautifully done.
Is it very rude to ask how much it cost to purchase and re-do the house? Maybe.
Lovely home. Thanks for letting us snoop.
I love your house. Those white chairs are so lovely.
I have wanted something like that (but am on a more thrifty budget) so I picked up the SNILLE visitor chair yesterday from IKEA. Similar look .. without the legs of the ones in your house.
Here is a picture of it set up ..
Not quite as awesome as yours, but for 21 dollars a piece they're great!!!
Another person chiming in that I dig this house.
I love the postcard wall... I usually just scrapbook mine but I think its time to whip them out and showcase them.
I loved so much of it. It has great character. I'm lusting after the kitchen, reminiscing over the Star Wars sheets I had as a kid and enjoying the mid-century vibe. Great job!
Though I am so over MCM and find it bores me to tears to see it done over and over, this particular home feels right. Maybe because it has such a family vibe. The the iconic pieces of furniture and architectural details make it all work somehow. I guess you can't mess up too much with classic pieces. I do love the kitchen. Thanks for sharing.
I admire your pateince and attention to detail. Great job. Would love to use your DIY idea of the postcard wall. Can you please tell me the specs for the cable that was used and where you bought it?
Thanks a ton
Everything is from DWR. It's like entering a store! Or 1956. Either way, very oppressive.
I disliked this tour SO much, and it wasn't because of the actual home. the actual home is lovely. but the way it was pictured and presented is so 'look at all the expensive name brand things!'.
sure is modern-not my cup of tea-
we live in DTC--where is Arapahoe Hills?

text: Hi, I've just been burgled, and my FZ38, which I was enjoying, was stolen. I was thinking of replacing with the FZ150, but, having read lots of reviews, I still don't know which compact/bridge camera is best. Lots of people liked the LX5. I do a lot of macro stuff, so this is important, and want image quality above gadgets, though I don't mind lots to play with! Suggestions??? Thanks, Julie

Her area of expertise, trichology, may not be well known, but within her field, Solomon stands alone. She is not only the first trichologist in Cartersville, but the first IAT Certified Trichologist in the state of Georgia and a sitting member of the IAT Board of Directors.
"Trichology is the scientific study of hair and scalp disorders. As a certified trichologist, our approach is not to treat problems symptomatically," Solomon said. "We're not just going to cover it up or ignore it. Our goal is to try and determine the underlying cause, and with the training we have, we're equipped to do that.
"That gives us clues as to determining what the underlying cause of the problem is and we make recommendations based on the findings that we have."
The issue of hair and scalp disorders is one that Solomon takes seriously, and as an IAT certified trichologist, she strives to approach each situation with care. Keeping her clients comfortable begins with the location and signage, or lack thereof, for her office.
"Recently, hair loss has proliferated. There are millions of American women experiencing hair loss," Solomon said. "There's a lot of shame and embarrassment around hair loss. People are even embarrassed to acknowledge it, much less acknowledge that they're trying to do something about it because that really makes the problem real.
"Sometimes, women who have hair loss — men as well — they have this knot in the pit of their stomach because they realize they're exposed, it's a form of exposure. And so I've tried to engineer my business to address those individuals and to address their needs."
Solomon began her career in cosmetology before transitioning to hair replacement. While she still does some hair replacement treatments, her career path took another abrupt turn four years ago when she learned the science of trichology and began treating the cause of hair loss rather than covering it up.
"I was a hair replacement specialist and I could replace it or cover it up and make you look beautiful, but the question I kept getting was, 'Why am I losing my hair?' And I was embarrassed because I didn't have an answer," Solomon said. "Even though I was a master cosmetologist, you're not really trained to look below the surface. ... I didn't have the answer and that bothered me."
Among the most common causes of hair loss are stress and medication. In today's world, stress is accepted as a part of life, but Solomon points to natural physiological reactions as reason to consciously reduce stress. In addition to stress and traumatic events, Solomon also asks clients about what medications they take as some side effects may result in nutrition deficiency, which in turn can harm hair growth.
"We live in a state of perpetual stress. So many times, people experience digestive problems, assimilation problems. They experience problems that can be directly related to stress, immuno problems, stroke, heart attack, all those things can be directly related back to stress. So with that going on in the body and us living in this constant state of stress, it's amazing any of us have hair at all," Solomon said, then describing a situation in which stressors caused a miscarriage for one of her clients. "If stress can trigger a hormonal imbalance to such an extent that the uterus would release a fetus, can you imagine considering on the scale of importance, what it can do to hair? If the body is threatened, anything nonessential the body will release. So hair falls way down low on the level of importance.
"Same thing with nutrition if there is a deficiency in the body. The body is concerned with survival, so first the body will address the organs and if there is a deficiency, the hair won't get nutrients."
Solomon treats each case differently, but common treatment options include low-level laser therapy, specific nutrient recommendations and a dietary supplement for the replenishment of amino acids.
In addition to natural hair loss, Solomon also treats patients dealing with the effects of cancer, radiation and chemo therapy, including cranial prostheses or wigs specifically designed for sensitive scalps and cancer patients.
Solomon received her certification through the IAT, an international association of members and students based out of Australia. In December 2012, she also was named to the IAT Board of Directors, the first in many years from the U.S. since the organization's relocation to Australia.
"Yvonne has trained with me on two occasions and I have been impressed not only by her willingness to learn but also by her determination to help and educate others," said IAT Director David Salinger in an email to The Daily Tribune News. "She is well respected for her dedication and the IAT is very happy to have her on our Board of Directors."
Solomon also conducts training sessions at her Cartersville office. She teaches the principles of trichology to stylists and cosmetologists so they may be able to better serve their clients and recognize issues at their earliest stages.

Android Panda Always Innovating
From OMAPpedia
Installation and config of Always Innovating's Android ICS distro for Pandaboard
As of August 2012, the quickest and easiest way to get a fully funtional install of Android 4 (aka Ice Cream Sandwich) complete with SGX graphics accel, wifi, bluetooth etc. etc. on a Pandaboard is to use a prebuilt disk image kindly provided by Always Innovating.
Download links
There is no official site hosting AI ICS but it can currently be downloaded from rapidshare. 4.0.1 only supports original Pandaboards whilst 4.0.3b supports the ES too:
See the README included within the zip for install instructions. You will need at least a 4GB SD card. The 4.0.3b version doesn't quite fit onto but should still work fine with a 4GB card.
Known Issues
There is no support included for onboard audio but audio should work fine via HDMI and also via class compliant USB audio devices. If you need onboard audio you need to compile Android or use another distro.
Video output is limited to 1280x720 - fix unknown.
With the 4.0.1 release on an original Pandaboard, pushing the power button prompts you if you'd like to power off but if you choose to do so Android reboots instead of shutting down.
These builds both feature a semi-transparent text advert for Always Innovating's Dongle (for which these builds were created) and website in the bottom left of the Android desktop. It is currently unknown if this can be easily disabled or not.
You cannot install apps via Google Play under the included browser or Chrome (beta) - apps can be installed by clicking on their apk file under Astro or ES File Explorer. This is a general problem of running Android on Panda and not specific to this distro.
I have been unable to get the included videos to play with the video player when running 4.0.3b on my Pandaboard A4 but video playback works fine under 4.0.1
Settings/Storage doesn't work at all for me under 4.0.3b but works fine under 4.0.1
The developer has not responded to any questions (such as the above issues) made about these releases on the Pandaboard mailing list since late January 2012 and it is currently impossible to register on the AI forums because their captcha is broken.
How to 'root' AI ICS
If you want USB drives to be auto-mounted on insertion then you need to install StickMount. If you want to have access to the standard GNU and Linux command line tools from a terminal (which also isn't included) then you need to install Busybox - however both of these apps require root permissions to run and AI ICS does not come 'pre-rooted' by including the Superuser packages which you can download from:
You only need to extract two files from the Superuser zip, Superuser.apk needs to be copied to /system/app/ and su to /system/bin/ of the first partition of your Android drive. After copying the files to their correct dirs, set the permissions as such:
chmod 777 Superuser.apk chmod u+xs su
You can test root is working by simply running the su command from a terminal.

I really like the wall tree of lights! When I lived in a studio apartment, I had a 2' artificial tree that I decorated, lit up and put on top of my TV. It doesn't have to be big to give you some big spirit.
Love the washi tape tree...there are so many decorating options! I also really love the last picture, but I'm not sure how you would get all of those little trinkets to stay on the wall without ruining the paint when you take them down.
The first picture is hilarious. Of course, I swoon over a picture of every French bulldog and Boston Terrier so no surprise there.
I still have no idea what a washi tape is but seeing the picture I think the generic green masking tape from Home Depot would probably be even better (and cheaper).
I think the most creative option is picture #12, the doily tree.
Decorate for the little ones? Decorate for me! These are great ideas to dress up my first apartment this December without the hassle of a real (or even fake), space-consuming Christmas tree that I wouldn't enjoy the week of the 25th anyway.
I love it! Great idea for those who think they do not have room for a tree!
This is the first year that I am dealing with the Christmas tree/limited space issue. I'm thinking that I'm just going to go with a tiny Charile Brown type tree in the center of my dining room table. I bought some little vintage-y ornaments... I think it will work out ok.
I like them they are very nice!
I love the back lit cutouts! But no matter how tiny my studio apartments of the past, I always found a small space for a 2-3 foot fake tree. (Fakes were required because of fire regulations.) I love some of these as decorations, but they just AREN'T Christmas Trees. For those who care.
Forget the tree. I want that dress!
I really love that Scandinavian Chalkboard Tree.
I love the last tree, one of the joys of the Christmas tree for me is to sit and look at all the beautiful little decorations and bits and bobs hidden in the branches.
To save space I didn't put the back branches in my artificial tree. I put the "extra branches" in the front/sides as filler.
I absolutely love these!!! We've been on a tree making bender at our home so much so that I think I've bought out all the wooden dowels in the craft stores.
WOW ..WOW ...WOW every one is fab..I had a tree limb covered in cotton..then decorations ...what fun. You have given me inspiritation for this year..no needles to sweep nor a big box to store.
In college I used to do a table top branch or tree and decorate with earrings, among other things. It was beautiful and served its purpose, and made me feel warm and cozy for at least giving it the old college try.
I was going to put up our sad tabletop tree this weekend, but these are much better ideas! Thanks.
I thought that boston terrier was a cat in the thumbnail...a cat in a tutu.
Backlit and felt trees are favorites. Very nice all of them
All these trees are so cute and adorable, how ingenious and inventive, nobody can say they are off the wall, they really are on the wall. I love it.
I am crazy for the backlit tree I would keep it up all year round, then add more "trees" to my wall, then I can move them about, and then...well, you get the idea SO many ways to have fun!
Love the doily tree and want to do on my window. Not having luck finding lace cutout doiys. Perhaps some were handmade snowflakes? Any sugestions where to get.

- Leonard de Noblet

- Leonard of Limousin
- Leonardo of…
- Leonhard of…
- Lienard of…
- Linhart of…
- Léonard of…
- Leonardo Nobiliacum
Born to the Frankish nobility. Part of the court of the pagan King Clovis I. The Queen suggested to Leonard, possibly as a joke, that he invoke the help of his God to repel an invading army. Leonard prayed, the tide of battle turned, and Clovis was victorious. Archbishop Saint Remigius of Rheims used this miracle to convert the King, Leonard, and a thousand of followers to Christianity.
Leonard began a life of austerity, sanctification, and preaching. His desire to know God grew until he decided to enter the monastery at Orleans, France. His brother, Saint Lifiard, followed his example and left the royal court, built a monastery at Meun, and lived there. Leonard desired further seclusion, and so withdrew into the forest of Limousin, converting many on the way, and living on herbs, wild fruits, and spring water. He built himself an oratory, leaving it only for journeys to churches. Others begged to live with him and learn from him, and so a monastery formed around his hermitage. Leonard had a great compassion for prisoners, obtaining release and converting many.
After his death, churches were dedicated to him in France, England, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Bohemia, Poland and other countries. Pilgrims flocked to his tomb, and in one small town in Bavaria there are records of 4,000 favors granted through Saint Leonard's intercession.

Hey guys,
I've been renting plastics for a while but I'm looking to purchase a mountaineering boot for use on Washington as well as future expeditions in Alaska and South America. I work at REI so I am trying to find one that I can get a good deal on (meaning we carry the brand). I wanted to see what you guys suggest, and I also really like this boot: http://www.rei.com/product/757631 but of course it is "classified" as an ice-climbing boot, even though the Vasque website calls it a general mountaineering boot. Anyone know anything about this one and how it would fare hiking Washington?
Other boots I am interested in....
Asolo Broad Peak - http://www.ems.com/catalog/product_d...34374302889916
Lowa Mountain Expert GTX - http://www.lowaboots.com/catalog/Sho...egory=1&Type=M
La Sportiva Trango Extreme Evo Light - http://www.rei.com/product/768802
Kayland Apex XT - http://www.guideschoice.com/scripts/...?idproduct=951
Obviously everyone's feet are different, but looking for opinions on the "nuts and bolts" of these. I'm also a pretty small-framed dude so lightweight is important to me.

The charts are typically set up for recurve and longbows that are not as centershot as the Diablo is. If you want to use a lighter spine arrow, move the rest out some more and let it paradox around the rest. The charts are set up to provide flecthing clearance around the riser. If you are setting it up closer to centershot, you can use a much stiffer arrow and get good flight.
Try adjusting the rest in and out with a particular arrow and you may find a spot where it shoots the best. Also, don't be afraid to adjust the nock point, you might want to start around 3/8" high, and try raising it from there, maybe up to 1/2" or more. One other thing, if your release is not clean, it will tend to make your arrow produce poor flight, espically with light weight bows. Try concentrating on a clean release, and see if that helps.
Good Luck!

Is there a minimum and maximum number of people that the observatory must have or is allowed to have?
What are the requirements?
Is there a daily agenda for the staff?
Do you allow non-weather people to stay over night or does each person up there serve a purpose?
I know I ask a ton of questions but I am a curious type (ok nosey).....LOL

Over the weekend, we passed along some good news about Dewey & LeBoeuf. It appears that the firm has been given a new (even if temporary) lease on life by its lenders. Initial reports suggested that the firm was getting one week or maybe two in order to reach a new debt deal with its banks. It now appears, however, that the firm could be getting a more long-term extension, in the range of 90 to 120 days. The deal still needs to be finalized; keep your fingers crossed.
That's the good news. Now, back to the bad news: more partner defections from Dewey….
Multiple UPDATES, after the jump.
