Here's a new episode to keep you occupied if you're stuck in a line somewhere while traveling Thanksgiving week. There are tips for the non-frequent traveler on how to avoid major airport faux pas and a review of how travel taxes will soak you when you get to your destination. We also talk about a high-tech suitcase that's blown through its Indiegogo funding campaign, hackers emptying out Hilton Honors accounts, and an overseas WiFi session that emptied out someone's wallet. You can listen to all this and more using the direct link to the podcast file or listening to it right here by clicking on the arrow below.
Podcast #112 — Holiday Airport Etiquette; Travel Tax Pile-Up
Podcast #110 — Regional Jets Ruining My Life; Visa Hassles
Even though the weather hasn't been bad this summer, I've endured a rash of flight cancellations. Digging deeper, it's been regional jets operated by small airline "partners" that's causing me grief. Service to mid-sized cities has moved to regional jets, making travel to these cities more problematic. Traveling to China or India can catch US travelers by surprise with their visa requirements. We also talk about how fast airlines respond to Twitter messages, airport "wall huggers", carry-on luggage throwback, and I haven't flipped through a Skymall magazine in months.

Podcast #109 — 'Round the World in 8 Days; Beijing Mass Transit
Just when I'd reset my body clock after a trip to Beijing, I headed off for an 8-day around-the-world itinerary. It was 44 hours of flight time, setting a new personal record for stupid travel. I learned a few new things along the way — Singapore Air flight attendants get grumpy when you don't let them serve you, and Manila Airport considers a Totes umbrella as lethal as a box cutter. We also talk about the reason Beijing has scored second to last in taxi service, the difference between United and Delta Twitter service, the secret to buying Bose headphones, and my switch from an iPhone to Android.

Podcast #107 — Serious About Hotel Reviews; TSA Gets Something Right!
Brushing aside the cobwebs to make my way back into the TravelCommons studios, we talk about the growing importance of TripAdvisor hotel reviews and the checklist I walk through when writing a review. I also continue to gush about the TSA's PreCheck program, even if this autumn's rapid expansion seems a bit rough-&-ready at times. A listener lists out the critical travel apps on his Android smartphone and I talk about being stalked by an airline on Twitter.

Top 10 Holiday Travel Tips
Snow, ice, and cold temperatures have hit North America a lot earlier this year. With the crush of Christmas/New Years travel starting this weekend, here's the TravelCommons' top holiday travel tips…
- Fly Direct — This is the top tip every time I put this list together. Holiday travel stacks up problems — high passenger load factors combined with winter weather disruptions almost guarantees late arrivals and missed connections. Pay the extra $100 for a direct flight.
- Skip the Tight Connection — If you can't fly direct, give yourself enough time to survive a late inbound flight. Take the 90- or 120-minute connection. Worst case is you get to try some great Mexican food in O'Hare or barbecue in Memphis.
- Catch the Early Flight — Delays stack up as the day wears on. As your airplane goes from airport to airport, the probability of it getting stuck increases. Overnight, airlines have a chance to recover – late planes finally get their destinations and operations groups can reassign planes. So while the last flight out can be a crap shoot, I've rarely hit a delay on the first flight out.
- Use Multiple Flight Tracking Apps — Use your smartphone to keep track of gate changes and flight delays. Sign up for text notifications from your airline when you book your ticket. However, I've often experienced long delays with the airlines' services or changes that were never sent out. So I also use TripIt, WorldMate, and FlightAware. It means multiple notices, but it also means I don't miss anything.
- Use Twitter as a Concierge Service — Most airlines have social media teams monitoring Twitter. Before you leave, find and follow your airline's Twitter customer service account. "At naming" them in a Tweet (e.g., "@united what's happening with UA 4286 MSY-ORD that it's 1:45 hr delayed?") usually gets a response in a couple of minutes. Following them allows you to exchange personal information such as record locator numbers via direct message (DM). It's usually faster than queuing up for a frazzled gate agent and the results can be better.
- Carry On your Luggage — Unless you're heading to the slopes for Christmas, everyone in your travel party should be able to fit into a carry-on sized bag. You can save $25/bag and increase the probability of having clean clothes at your destination. If you're seating area 3 or higher, odds are there's no overhead bin space for you. Let the agent gate-check the bag for you. You won't have to pay a checked bag fee and it's very unlikely that they'll lose your bag – it's only traveling a couple hundred feet from the jet bridge to the luggage hold.
- Spread Clothes Across All Bags — If you have to check your bags, split everyone's clothes across all the bags. It's rare for an airline to lose all of your checked bags.
- Buy Status for 1 Person — Airlines will sell you anything, including one-off access to the special security lines and early boarding calls normally earned by flying 25,000 miles. The airlines will tell you that everyone in your travel party needs to pony up for status. In practice though, if the lead adult's boarding pass shows priority/premiere access, the overworked minimum-wage airport staffers guarding the status security lanes will let the family tag along. And at the gate, I've never seen a family split up across boarding groups.
- Know Your Geography — Knowing alternatives to your destination airport gives you more flexibility dealing with cancelled flights or missed connections. In New York, the LaGuardia to Newark pivot is easy, but others aren't so obvious. Everyone knows that Chicago has two airports – O'Hare and Midway. But what about Milwaukee's Mitchell Field 80 miles north? If PHL is in trouble, how many folks think about Harrisburg or BWI? Or Sacramento as an alternative to SFO? I think about alternatives in two rings – within 60 miles – SNA and LGB for LAX; and then within 100-120 miles, which now picks up Palm Springs and San Diego for LAX. Someone will drive a couple of hours to pick you up if it means getting you to Christmas dinner on time.
- But above all, be realistic — It's gonna be a zoo. Steel yourself; get your inner karma tuned for it. Pack a snack and a book, and practice deep cleansing breaths.

Podcast #106 — Summer Vacation in Amsterdam; Restaurant Trends
Back in front of the mic after summer vacation, I've continued the heavy travel schedule — New Orleans mostly with a week in Amsterdam for a family vacation. I talk about the exposure of staying in a houseboat on an Amsterdam canal and run through my personal "Best of" list. Flying out of the Gulf Coast in the summer with its afternoon thunderstorms has forced me to become a weather geek. I run through the weather apps I religiously use. Bad weather also caught up with me in Europe, but Lufthansa did a great job of taking care of us. I'm still in love with TSA's PreCheck. I may make Southwest's A-List once PreCheck comes to Chicago-Midway airport. And we wrap with restaurant trends seen at this year's National Restaurant Association show.

Graduate Funding Opportunities
The Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) offers a variety of funding opportunities for Graduate Students entering or currently enrolled in one of its two Graduate Certificates.
The Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) at the University of Pittsburgh is seeking two graduate students to help coordinate the content of its Panoramas website for fall, spring, and summer terms 2014-15. The goal of Panoramas is to share Latin American expertise through a new Latin American studies web presence.
The Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) announces the competition for Latin American Social and Public Policy Fellowships (LASPPFs). These fellowships are designed to assist students interested in various dimensions of social and public policy in Latin America to pursue graduate studies in a department or professional school of the University of Pittsburgh.
The purpose of this program is to make it possible for CLAS graduate students to carry out short-term field research directly relevant to the Latin American/Caribbean region in order to acquire as profound and intimate a knowledge as possible of language, culture, and geography; to gather research data; and to develop contacts with scholars and institutions in the field. PLEASE NOTE: These grants are NOT to be used for dissertation research.
David Houston was an economics professor and political activist at the University of Pittsburgh for more than 40 years. To honor a teacher who directed his scholarly attention to issues of social justice throughout his career, former students and colleagues of Dr. Houston, who died in 2008, have created a fund to make awards to students whose academic interests and career plans focus on human rights and social justice, particularly in Latin America.
Latin American Archaeology Fellowships are designed to support outstanding graduate students from Latin America and North America who concentrate on Latin American archaeology in their studies at the University of Pittsburgh.
The Panoramas Interns will assist Luis Bravo, webmaster for CLAS and Panoramas, with recording events, helping in the administration of CLAS social media, and other web and social media related activities. Interns will also be asked to write articles for Panoramas and work on special projects. Work hours will vary depending on the university schedule (work load will be about 10 hours a week). Note that interns may be asked to work on an occasional Saturday.
The maximum amount of a CLAS Travel to Professional Meeting grant is $500. To be eligible for a grants, students must be enrolled in one of the two graduate certificates offered by the Center for Latin American Studies, and the paper being presented or the session in which the individual is participating as organizer, discussant, or moderator must deal with the Latin American/Caribbean region. Students can receive up to $500 each academic year.
CLAS has a limited amount of funds available for TRFs. TRFs pay partial or a full term's tuition only. TRFs are awarded according to the following priorities: (1) Students from Latin America sponsored by LASPAU or IIE. (2) Students presented as official candidates by universities in Latin America that have exchange agreements with CLAS. (3) Any remaining balance is awarded to students currently enrolled in CLAS.

Colonial agents worked for fifty years to make a Japanese Taiwan, using technology, culture, statistics, trade, and modern ideologies to remake their new territory according to evolving ideas of Japanese empire. Since the end of the Pacific War, this project has been remembered, imagined, nostalgized, erased, commodified, manipulated, idealized and condemned by different sectors of Taiwan's population.
The volume covers a range of topics, including colonial-era photography, exploration, postwar deportation, sport, film, media, economic planning, contemporary Japanese influences on Taiwanese popular culture, and recent nostalgia for and misunderstandings about the colonial era.
Japanese Taiwan provides an interdisciplinary perspective on these related processes of colonization and decolonization, explaining how the memories, scars and traumas of the colonial era have been utilized during the postwar period. It provides a unique critique of the 'Japaneseness' of the erstwhile Chinese Taiwan, thus bringing new scholarship to bear on problems in contemporary East Asian politics.

A public consultation on the future of police leadership and training was launched today by Nick Herbert
This follows the publication of a report into leadership and training by Peter Neyroud, former chief executive of the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA).
The policing minister said: 'In challenging times we need strong and focused leadership at every level in the police to ensure all the service makes the best use of all its resources.
'We also need high quality training to ensure the service has the skills needed to fight crime. The government is clear that the service should have the lead role in this, in line with our wider approach to public services and policing.
'I am grateful to Peter Neyroud for producing this report and I would like both the public and the police to give us their views on his recommendations. I will give them careful consideration before final decisions are made.'
The key recommendation of the report is to introduce a body responsible for leadership and training.
The Association of Chief Police Officers would take on a role within this new organisation which would operate under Royal Charter status.
The public consultation now will run for 12 weeks. Read the consultation on the publications section of this website.
Consultation questions include:

I do not believe that foreigners contribute usefully by issuing strong opinions about how a country's citizens, or those of a larger unit like the European Union, should decide when faced with an important political choice. Our insights, based on international experience, may sometimes be helpful; but there should never be any confusion about the asymmetry of roles.

The world is transfixed by Britain's referendum Thursday over whether to stay in the European Union. Some of the most interested and anxious spectators of the "Brexit" debate are in the Baltic republics, where I recently spent a week meeting with political and military leaders as part of a delegation from the Jamestown Foundation.

For the first time since the start of Britain's referendum fight over Europe, the polls predict "Brexit." The four most recent national surveys put the "Leave" side ahead with margins of between one and 10 percentage points. Most people, including many disaffected Britons who want to shake up the system by backing a Brexit, understand that this would mean a political and economic shock. But they underestimate its severity.

An isolationist bent to British politics, what Sebastian Mallaby refers to as "little Englandism," is not new to the British political tradition. While this perspective has long been counter-balanced by a Gladstonian internationalism, debates around Brexit have been conspicuously devoid of such idealism, speaking in a language that appeals only to pocketbooks rather than to common decency.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Le Mas Restaurant Review: The suburbs of Philadelphia have been waiting for this---a re-creation of a farmhouse in Provence---all sun-drenched fabrics and wooden furniture, tiled floors and beamed ceilings and flowers everywhere. Jason Shillinglaw, executive chef, does this light, ingredient-driven cuisine with panache and an American touch. The fish soup with all the accoutrements, parsnip velouté with a poached egg, tartares and carpaccios, and braised lamb shank are excellent, as is the cassoulet, but all dishes are true to their roots. With Americanization have come lower prices and a more casual air. The wine list has many choices from the south of France as well, but the BYOB Sundays are very popular. In fine weather, the flowery terrace is the place to be. On Friday evenings, the happy hour serves up excellent hors d'oeuvres and you can order from the relaxed bar menu by the fireplace, or eat from the regular menu. George's cheesesteak is a star attraction. |

Author: OECD
On 17-18 November 2015, a new regional meeting as well as a governmental workshop on BEPS was held for the Latin America and the Caribbean region to discuss the outcomes of the BEPS Project, and the ways that the countries can explore to be involved on an equal footing in the implementation and the monitoring phase of the measures adopted.
The meeting was hosted in San José, Costa Rica, by the Ministry of Finance of Costa Rica in cooperation with the OECD, the Inter-American Center for Tax Administration (CIAT) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB). The event followed the previous regional meeting that took place in Tbilisi, Georgia, on 21-23 October 2015 and the technical committee meeting organised in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, on 11-12 November 2015.
49 participants attended the meeting and provided feedback on the delivery of the BEPS Package, as well as views on how to develop a more inclusive framework to include all interested countries on an equal footing in the monitoring and implementation phase. 16 countries were represented and the event included representatives from the Business Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC), Latindadd, the BEPS Monitoring Group and business community from the region.
The Vice-Minister of Taxes of Costa Rica, Fernando Rodriguez Garro, Alberto Barreix, Principal Technical Leader at the IADB, Gonzalo Arias Esteban, International Co-operation and Taxation Director at the CIAT welcomed the participants and delivered opening remarks. Carlos Vargas Duran, Director General of Taxes of Costa Rica and Ubaldo Gonzalez, Senior Advisor at the OECD, co-chaired the meeting.
Discussions focused on the options for an inclusive framework to implement BEPS measures and beyond, on the toolkits being elaborated to meet developing countries' specific needs as well as existing and possible new capacity building initiative for the Latin American and Caribbean countries including through an increased cooperation between the OECD and the CIAT in particular with training sessions.

Butterfly Textures
Hello friends! It is still a little summer quiet here on the blog, but I have more posts coming soon. We have had such excellent weather, which doesn't happen here all the time, so we've been spending time at the sea and at lakes.
It is Monday again, and this week at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog we have a Add Some Texture challenge. Just add any type of texture.
Texture is a favourite of mine and I rarely do projects without using different texture techniques. I love interesting textures, where the viewer wants to reach out and touch the surface. On this layout, there is a whole bunch, so that you can see how easy it is to create texture. You can use paint, ink, stamps, pastes, stencils, dies, embossing folders, etc., as well as different interesting surfaces. Almost anything can be used to create texture.
I found this photo from my own Christening on my desk and my mom looks so cute here, so the layout (the journaling is at the back), is mainly about her. You can see Leo being Christening in the same dress on this Misted Layout post.
I took a few step photos.
I used a paper from Tim Holtz Dapper stash and smeared texture paste through two different stencils, Doily and Flourish. This takes a while, since you need to let the paste dry, before continuing.
When the paste was dry, I painted it with Distress Paints.
When the paint is dry, stamp circles with Tiger Lily ink. Because of the paste, many of the circles will be incomplete, which is what I was aiming for. I also used one of my favourite script stamps and black ink. Finally, splatter some Black Soot paint on the background.
The combination of the printed paper, texture paste, paint, stamping and splatters gives a great texture to the layout, without being overwhelming.
Torn paper creates instant texture, and add an extra layer by tucking a small piece of paper underneath. I also used Stickles to add dots of glitter here and there, adding one more texture.
If you want to, follow Simon Says Stamp on Instagram, they post great stuff daily.

You love for your Mamma shines through in this piece Anna-Karin. It's the perfect layout for such a special photo. I love the sentiment too!! Fantastic stamp. And the burlap banner with "Mamma" on it just squeezed my heart. Pinned! Hugs to you! Mary Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteGorgeous page! It coordinates so well with your pretty Mom! You don't look so happy in this photo! LOL! :)
Simon Says Stamp!Such a beautiful layout and wonderful memory! I love that you are wearing the same christening dress that your son got to use. I must say, your mom looks really happy in the photo, Anna-Karin, but you, er, not so much. Gorgeous colors, and such a treasure trove of textures!!

Gent Mason Announce New Ep 'Eden' Plus Debut Single Released October 7th 2013
Gent Mason is the next artist to release on Aesop, the second release to be exact, following the well-received debut for both the label and from SOHN with 'The Wheel'. With SOHN now signed to 4AD and working on his debut album, Gent Mason carries on the Aesop theme of quality over quantity. A London born and bred producer, Gent hones in on his love of American Hip Hop/R&B and a time largely documented by way of Yo! MTV Raps with the culture rising into commercial prominence.
The single's A-side 'Eden', perfectly depicts the distorted rhythms that run through Gent's sound, constructing a mid-tempo reverberated bass that layers the backdrop to subtle hints of melody creeping in and out of the vocal line. The lead on the B-side, 'Head' is glowing and loose with an uplifting vocal melody. Another fully formed piece, it showcases the unique depth and atmosphere in his tracks.
While Gent Mason's influences are apparent and his style and talent are his own craftsmanship, the distinctive approach to his sound was in large part due to the wisdom passed on to him by none other than Jimmy Douglass, the man responsible for collaborating in the studio with Timbalandfor over a decade, working on albums for Aaliyah, Missy Elliott, Jay Z, and Justin Timberlake among others.
The Eden EP is released on Aesop as a limited 12" and download.

The brutal frontier saga The Revenant leads the 88th annual Academy Awards with 12 nominations, while the acting categories were again filled entirely by white performers.
The strong showing Thursday for The Revenant, including a best actor nod for Leonardo DiCaprio and best supporting actor for Tom Hardy, follows its win at the Golden Globes. It sets up director Alejandro Inarritu for a possible back-to-back win following his sweep of best picture, director and screenplay for Birdman last year.
"We gave it our all on this film and this appreciation from the Academy means a lot to me and my colleagues who made it possible," said Inarritu in a statement. "Champagne and mezcal will run tonight!"
George Miller's post-apocalyptic sequel Mad Max: Fury Road followed with 10 nominations, including best picture and best director for Miller. Ridley Scott's sci-fi epic The Martian landed seven nominations, including best picture and best actor for Matt Damon, but, surprisingly, no best director nod for Scott.
Eight out of a possible ten films were nominated for best picture. The other five were: Tom McCarthy's investigative journalistic procedural Spotlight, Steven Spielberg's Cold War thriller Bridge of Spies, Adam McKay's Michael Lewis adaptation The Big Short, the mother-son captive drama Room and the '50s Irish immigrant tale Brooklyn.
Left on the outside were Todd Haynes's lesbian romance Carol (which fared better in acting nominations for Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara) and the N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton (which still landed a nod for original screenplay). The miss for Carol meant one usual Oscar heavyweight — Harvey Weinstein — won't have a horse in the best picture race for the first time since 2008.
The acting nominees, which notably omitted Idris Elba for Beasts of No Nation and Benicio Del Toro for Sicario — both of whom were predicted by many handicappers — gave the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences an awkward repeat of the "OscarsSoWhite" backlash that followed last year's acting nominees.
Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs has since redoubled efforts to diversify the academy's membership, and slated Chris Rock — who a year ago famously labeled Hollywood a "white industry" — to host this year's Feb. 28 ceremony.
"I really was disappointed," said Isaacs after nominations were announced. "What is important is that this entire conversation of diversity is here and that we are talking about it. And I think we will not just talk because people will say, 'Well don't just talk. You gotta do.' Talking gets to the doing, and we are going to do."
Alongside DiCaprio and Damon, the best actor nominees are: Michael Fassbender (Steve Jobs), Eddie Redmayne (The Danish Girl) and Bryan Cranston (Trumbo). Two big names were left out: Johnny Depp for Black Mass and Will Smith for Concussion.
In a statement, DiCaprio, who's expected to land his first Oscar in his fifth nomination, called making The Revenant ''one of the most rewarding and collaborative experiences of my life."
The best actress field is led by favourite Brie Larson for Room, along with Jennifer Lawrence (for Joy, making her, at 25, the youngest four-time nominee), Cate Blanchett (her seventh nod, for Carol), Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn) and Charlotte Rampling (45 Years).
After seemingly slipping in an unpredictable awards season, Spotlight rebounded Thursday, landing six nominations including best director for McCarthy, best screenplay for McCarthy and Josh Singer, best supporting actress for Rachel McAdams and best supporting actor for Mark Ruffalo.
Sylvester Stallone, reprising his role as Rocky Balboa in Creed looms large in the supporting actor category. His stiffest competition is seen as Mark Rylance, best known for his stage work, for Bridge of Spies. Also nominated were Tom Hardy (The Revenant) and Christian Bale (The Big Short).
"I am incredibly humbled by this honour," Stallone, first nominated for the role in 1976 for Rocky, wrote in an email. "I was not expecting it . . . especially at this time in my life. I am certainly grateful to the artists and collaborators who helped make it possible."
Stallone was the only nominee for Ryan Coogler's Creed, which drew raves for its director and star, Michael B. Jordan.
"Irony of ironies, the only actor who received a nomination for Creed is white," said Gil Robertson, president of the African American Film Critics Association, which named Straight Outta Compton best picture. "The academy really needs to look at itself. Under Cheryl Boone Isaac's direction, they have been making terrific strides toward diversity. Hopefully that will start to pay off over time."
Nominees for best director shunned not just one filmmaking legend in Scott, but also Spielberg. Instead, Lenny Abrahamson for Room was the unexpected addition along with Adam McKay, known best for his broader Will Ferrell comedies, for The Big Short.
Along with Mara and McAdams, the best supporting actress nominees were Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl), Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight) and Kate Winslet (Steve Jobs), her seventh nod.
As expected, Pixar's Inside Out landed a best animated feature nod, as did the Charlie Kaufman-penned stop-motion animation Anomalisa, Shaun the Sheep Movie, Boy and the World and When Marnie Was There.
Canadians celebrate Oscar nominations
#OscarsSoWhite? Fans decry lack of diversity in Oscar nominations
The nomination for Pixar (which also landed a best screenplay nod for Inside Out) restores its nearly unblemished record of Oscar nominations, broken only by 2011's Cars 2 and 2013's Monsters University.
The foreign language category drew films from Hungary (Son Of Saul), France (Mustang), Jordan (Theeb), Denmark ("A War") and Colombia (Embrace the Serpent). Jordan and Columbia celebrated their first nominations.
Though some fans had hoped for a better showing, the box-office behemoth Star Wars: The Force Awakens failed to land a best picture nomination. It instead scored five technical nods for editing, score, visual effects, sound mixing and sound editing.
Since the best picture field was expanded from five nominees to up to 10, in 2010, every year has delivered nine nominations until this year's eight. The original reasoning was partly to make room for bigger, more populist films like Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight alongside acclaimed independent releases.
But the chances for The Force Awakens were hurt because the category already has one sci-fi blockbuster (The Martian), as well as a number of major studio releases. 20th Century Fox had an especially good day, led by The Revenant and The Martian.
Netflix, which has previously scored nominations for documentaries, fell short in its first bid for fiction film nods. Its first original feature, Cary Fukunaga's West African child war film Beasts of No Nation, was shut out.
Netflix did, however, again break into the documentary category with What Happened, Miss Simone? and Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom. The other nominees were Amy, Cartel Land and The Look of Silence. Surprisingly left out was Alex Gibney's incendiary Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief.
Nominations were announced shortly after the passing of Alan Rickman, famed for Die Hard and Harry Potter but never Oscar-nominated, at 69.

Tuesdays 9:00 PM on FOXTemperance Brennan Quotes
Wendell: You're right.
Brennan: Why is that surprising?
Angela: You, a trained anthropologist, immersed yourself in a specific culture and you learned nothing?
Brennan: I did realize that compared to others Booth and I have a very good relationship.
Angela: So you learned nothing?
Brennan: I've found that as a Caucasian if I enter into any kind of debate like this the non-Caucausians like you and Arastoo yell at me as if I represent all white people.
Arastoo: I tend to represent all Muslims.
Angela: I tend to represent all hot women.
I'm not leaving you. I have absolute faith in you. I trust you. I know you love me and Christine and I'm sorry I lost sight of that temporarily. You're a good man. You have your reasons and when you can you'll share them. I'm sorry.
Daisy: Would you care to high five?
Brennan: I would not.
Daisy: I can do it myself.
[to Booth] The truth is best. You taught me that.
[to Booth] I know you want me to accept what you're saying on faith because you're a man of faith, but I believe in sequences and patterns and this sequence doesn't end well unless something disrupts the pattern.
Booth: I thought you'd want some weird tribal wedding where I'd have to pay for you in giraffes.
Brennan: No, no one offers giraffes. The archaic Catholic wedding ritual is important to you, and even as an Atheist, I can see the beauty in it. Plus, I speak Latin.
Brennan: It's clearly irrational, but I feel I could never find a better man to spend my life with. And I'm...
Angela: Happy.
Brennan: And I thought that should be recorded for the world.
Brennan: I want to marry you. Will you marry me, Booth?
Booth: Are you serious?
Brennan: Yes. I've been afraid, I've been stubborn, and I've been in love. And marriage would make you so happy.
Booth: You're sure? You're not just saying this because of Pelant and everything that's going on here?
Brennan: Positive. All of this just made me see things more clearly. I love you. I want you to be my husband. I want to...I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Say something.
Booth: Yes. Of course. Yes.
[to Booth] I want you to be happy. That's all I want.
Booth: That guy has no idea how lucky I really am. I mean, really luck.
Brennan: Aw, I love you, too.

As a first project, I thought I would like to improve upon Aero colors themes by changing the light blue areas like the menubar, and the gray areas that you have in some dialog boxes and other windows, to coordinate with the main color. I thought it would be fairly straightforward, but I can't even begin to figure out how to do it or if it is in fact even doable. I would be very grateful if someone could give me some guidance.Thanks,Ellen

A shooting plate rack is used by fast shooters, providing a series of six, round metal plates that can easily be reset by pulling a rope to lift a reset bar behind the array of targets. When hit by a bullet, the plate target falls backward against the metal reset bar, giving a visual and auditory signal that it was hit. By pulling a rope to reset the targets, there is no need to walk over to the targets. Six metal plates are the traditional number of targets, to match the American western six-shooter pistol, but a rack can contain more targets if desired.

Things you need
- 5/16-inch flat steel stock
- 6-foot length of angle iron with 2-inch flats
- 12-foot length of ½-inch iron rod
- 3-foot length of 9/16-inch iron pipe
- Cutting torch
- Welder
Show More
- 1
Cut six 8-inch-diameter plate targets from the 5/16-inch flat steel stock. Cut each plate so that on one side of each plate extends a 3-inch square of metal stock. Each target will look something like a ping-pong paddle with a short, fat handle. This metal square will serve to hold the plate above the support iron.
- 2
Cut six, 10-inch rod lengths from the ½-inch iron rod. Weld one 10-inch rod to each plate target, attaching the rod centred on the outside edge of the 3-inch square that extends from the plate target. The rod will serve as part of a hinge, allowing the target to swing up and down when it is hit and then reset.
- 3
Set the angle iron down so that a flat edge faces the shooter and the other flat edge of the L-shape extends away from the shooter -- behind the exposed face -- and forms the base of the support. Cut 14 2-inch sections of 9/16-inch iron pipe and weld one for each plate target, spaced as you desire the targets to be positioned and placed 3/4 inch behind the forward-facing edge of the flat iron. Try to get the plate target to lean slightly forward and rest on the top edge of the flat iron when the ½-inch bar is placed into the pipe.
- 4
Place the ½-inch rod attached to each plate target into the 9/16-inch pipe welded to the angle iron, then insert the second 2-inch iron pipe segment onto the iron rod so that the plate target and iron pipe sections form a hinge, allowing the target to swing up or down. Weld the second pipe section in place on the angle iron, allowing enough room for the target to swing freely. Each target will not be held in place on a hinge, allowing it to move freely.
- 5
Cut a 7½-foot section of the ½ inch iron rod and bend each end to form a 9-inch L-shape. Keep the 9-inch extension at each end parallel with each other. This bar will be used to raise the metal plate targets when they are knocked down by the shooter. Weld a 3-inch section of 9/16-inch pipe to each side of the angle iron immediately behind the upraised face. This section of pipe is between the backside of the front face and the pipe section holding the end plate target.
- 6
Bend the 3 inches of the ½-inch rod section at each end inward, parallel with the 6-foot length. This is the last 3 inches of the 9-inch section that was previously bent. Place the 3-inch section into one of the pipe sections just welded onto the back side of the angle iron.
- 7
Place the 3-inch bent section on the other end of the ½-inch rod into the 9/16-inch pipe section so that the rod will now raise and lower behind the plate target array. The rod should move like a hinge behind the plate targets so that when each target is knocked down, it falls against the 6-foot, rod section. Attach a rope to one side of the rod section, allowing the shooter to pull the targets back up into place after they have been shot down.
Tips and warnings
- Large plate racks, usually 8 inches in diameter, are used for centre-fire pistol calibres while 3-inch diameter plates are used for rimfire rifles.
- Do not use jacketed or magnum rounds when shooting metal plates as they may ricochet and cause serious injury to the shooter.

Comparing LED, CFL and Incandescent Light Bulbs June 6, 2013
Posted by bowmanlamps in compact fluorescent light bulbs, lumen output number, energy savings, LED lighting, light bulb, Uncategorized.Tags: CFL Light Bulbs, Incandescent Light Bulbs, LED Light Bulbs

A light bulb is a light bulb – right? Not in today's lighting market. There are enough light bulb styles to make a light bulb consumer dizzy. The chart below helps sort out the differences between the three main types of light bulbs, LED, Comapct Fluorescent (CFL) and incandescent.
Here's Some of the Ways in Which LED, CFL, and Incandescent Light Bulbs VaryLED | CFL | Incandescent | |
Cost | Expensive | Moderate | Cheap |
Replacement / 50,000 Hrs | 1 | 5 | 42 |
Avg. Life | 50,000 HRS | 8,000 HRS | 1,200 HRS |
Light Output per 800 Lumens | 6 to 8 Watts | 13 to 15 Watts | 60 Watts |
Start Up | Instant On | Slight Delay | Instant On |
Dimmable | Yes If Designated Dimmable | Yes if Designated Dimmable | Yes |
Durability | Tough | Fragile | Fragile |
On-off Cycling | No Effect | Shortens Life | Minimal Effect |
Heat Given Off | Low 3 BTU/HR | Medium 30 BTU/HR | High 85 BTU/HR |
Sensitive to Cold | No | Yes | Some |
Mercury Enclosed | No | Yes (Minimal) | No |
A Dependable Line of LED Lamps
Considering the bits of information above, one of the best lines of LED light bulbs I've found is the TCP Dimmable Floodlight series. They offer smooth, uniform dimming from 100% to 0.5% with consistent color. The lamps exceed all industry standards. Highly efficient LEDs and driver allow for long life, exceeding 25000 hours. UL listed for damp locations. Ideal for use in recessed cans, track lights, display lights and outdoor fixtures (protected from the elements).
I have these in my family room. They give off good dim well. Visitors don't even notice they are LED flood lights. You may read about them here.
Awesome Dimming CFL Light Bulbs
I also use the TCP line of Pro Series TruDim dimmable CFL light bulbs in my kitchen. With uniform dimming from 100% down to 2% and digital technology for faster run-up time, they beat other CFL dimmables. Most start flickering when dimmed down past 20%. Take a look here. They are available in spiral, R20, R30, R40 floodlights, A-lamp and G25 or G40 globe shapes.
As for Incandescents….
There are two incandescent light bulbs left in my house. One in the almost-inaccessible attic which was put there when we moved in 23 years ago. I think it's been turned on once or twice. The other is in our ancient garage door opener. I've found LED light bulbs and CFL lamps do not work there, probably because of radio frequencey interference. Maybe your opener is different.
I've found CFL light bulbs to be very accomodating in my home. And with the exception of an occasional dud, long lasting – to the point I wish they would fail so I can replace them with the newer versions of LED light bulbs.

It's really easy to glance at the rating, scroll through the pictures, check the price and check out. If I was booking a hotel, I'd never have to think twice: I expect all my hotel comforts to be sitting and waiting there for me. But unfortunately, hotel comforts aren't standard in residential buildings.
Concern about the efficiency of air conditioning in very hot climates has been an obstacle to winning agreement on a phase-down of the powerful heat-trapping chemicals known as HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons). Now we have new test data on the performance of next-generation refrigerants in air conditioners commonly used in homes and buildings.
