DataBytes for Winter 2007
Getting a Human
I have recently discovered a great new site for when you need to make a phone call to a "customer service" line and dread weaving your way through the prompts to find a human voice that can provide help. Check out http://gethuman.com for a database of customer service numbers and instructions on how to defeat the menu of prompts to get directly to a human! The database is here:
I-800 customer lines are listed and then tips on how to defeat the menus are given! Here is a sample entry:
Pep Boys
F (note: this is the grade it was given... they failed)
Press 33; at prompt press 1; hold through prompts for representative.
I will be adding this to the Fantastic Freebies roadshow!

Tech Talk on 12/5/06: Cyber Crime
Reporting and Defending Computer Crime
Tuesday December 5, 2006
7:00 pm
Presented by Jef Henninger, Esq.
A vast amount of computer crime goes unreported by both individuals and companies because the victim doesn't know how to proceed or is afraid to get involved. Jef Henninger, a criminal defense attorney who has been studying computer crime since 1990, will cover topics such as what to do before you become a victim, who to call when you are one, what to expect as a witness before and at a trial, interacting with the prosecuting authority, and other tips to make the prosecution a success. On the opposite side of the law, defendants charged with computer crimes face an uphill battle at trial because most lawyers have a computer phobia which causes almost all cases to end in a guilty plea. These crimes are ensnaring more innocent people than any other type of crime. Learn how to protect yourself when you are suspected of committing a computer crime.
Podcast of Open Source Software talk now online!
I hope we will have John back in the near future to talk to us about Firefox extension and customization!

Tech Talk on 08/01/06: Designing Intelligently with Adobe InDesign
Titled "Designing Intelligently with Adobe InDesign," the program in the first floor Community Room is part of the library's Tuesday Technology Talks series.
Quinn, public information director for the library, will discuss the history of the software and Adobe's efforts to compete with QuarkExpress, which until recently had been the industry standard in print graphics software. Quinn is a writer and designer responsible for the library's marketing and promotional materials.
Epstein, associate director of graphic design and print production for Bristol-Myers Squibb, will demonstrate some of InDesign's capabilities. Epstein is a graphic artist who manages the creative group responsible for much of the pharmaceutical company's graphic design, copywriting and Web Design.
Recently he completed a two-year term as president of InSource, an organization he co-founded, that is focused on addressing the needs of the in-house design community. Epstein has written articles for HOW and Graphic Design:USA magazines in addition to contributing to articles featured in Dynamic Graphics and the Rockport Press book "Bringing Graphic Design In-House."
Awarded a Sappi "Ideas That Matter" grant, he is most proud of the book published with that award, which he created with the students of The Lakeview School, an institution devoted to the needs of children with Cerebral Palsy.
The monthly sessions of the library's popular Tuesday Technology Talks series feature demonstrations and discussions of new and emerging technologies and related issues.

Notes and Links from "Fantastic Freebies for Everyone"
We spent some time talking about the concept of Web 2.0 and then we launched right in to demonstrating 13 of our favorite freebies.
A PDF of our slideshow (which will give you the addresses for all the sites we visited and talked about) can be found on the Princeton Public Library's Technology Center web page.
Our audience asked lots of great questions and the discussion was fun. One of the questions asked was in regards to free software that keeps track of passwords. After a bit of research we have found RoboForm -- there is a free download for personal use and it comes highly recommended by several reliable sources. Try it out and let us know what you think!
If you want to learn more about Web 2.0 and what it can do for you, then watch this blog for an announcement as I am planning to have Sophie Brookover and Pete Bromberg come in the fall to give a tech talk devoted to this topic and it should be great.

Notes and Links from "Optimizing Your Computer"
Many thanks to Joel May --he gave a fantastic presentation tonight that was filled with many tips and lots of practical advice for how to keep your computer clean and running smoothly and effeciently. The audience had lots of great questions and he was able to provide solid answers for everyone.
The main content of the presentation (with lots of great screenshots) is hosted at the Ewing SeniorNet Computer Literacy Center -- just click here to view it or go to http://snipurl.com/optimize.
As a result of questions from the audience, Joel shared many other tidbits with us. For instance:
- Consider using at least 2-3 spyware removers and run them each at least once per week. There are lots of good free spyware removers available and he uses 2 of them, but he also uses Spyware Doctor as he feels it is worth the investment of $29.95
- Subscribe to the LangaList to keep current and get a great newsletter filled with advice and tips by noted computer author Fred Lang. It will be delivered to your inbox twice per week and is spam-free.
- Be sure to visit Windows Update on a regular basis to make sure that you are current with your patches and fixes (especially if you have automatic updates disabled).
- Smart Computing has some great articles on backing up your hard drive in the current (June 2006) issue. Visit your local library to read this magazine or read the articles online while they are available.
- Consider carefully how you manage your cookies and know the difference between allowing 1st Party and 3rd Party cookies to be accepted. Consider using a "cookie crusher" product to gain total control of cookies.
This is just a sampling of the advice that Joel had to offer. I urge you to read the presentation if you were unable to make it to the tech talk tonight.
Oh, and one last link... after the talk ended Joel and I were talking about blogs and rss readers and he urged me to check out popurls. I did and I am very impressed. It has been bookmarked for what I am sure will be many future visits.
Next month's tech talk will be given by myself and Bob Keith. We will be giving an overview and review of the many fabulous "freebies" you can find online. Stay tuned to this blog for further details.

Tech Talk on May 2nd, 2006: Optimize Your Computer's Performance
Our Tech Talk this month is the 50th Tech Talk since the first talk was delivered by John Levine in October 2000! When the series began I was not sure how long it would last or if it would even take off at all. Over the years we have had many amazing talks and I am so happy with how Tech Talks has continued to grow and change with the times. I am looking forward to many more seasons of Tech Talks and want to thank everyone for your continued support and interest in this program.
Joel May will be our speaker for May and he will be delivering a talk that is highly relevant to all computer users called Optimize Your Computer's Performance. Here is official the "blurb and bio":
Configuring your computer to function just the way you want it to is an activity which is both important (in terms of faster and more dependable operation and fewer crashes) and satisfying (you'll enjoy the fact that it looks and feels the way you want it to). In his presentation, Joel will discuss a number of things you can do to make this happen: upgrading your system memory, optimizing the systems properties, adjusting display settings, optimizing the hard drive and deleting unneeded elements. He won't turn you into a computer "geek," but he will help you to understand your computer better.
Joel has spent most of his adult life teaching, first at the Graduate School of Business of the University of Chicago and, subsequently, at the School of Public Health of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. He holds a BS degree in Economics from Albright College and an MBA and PhD in Economics and Statistics from the University of Chicago. He's been using computers since 1961, the Internet since 1974, PCs since 1979, and the World Wide Web since 1994.
Since his retirement in 1995, he has volunteered his time teaching computer skills to senior citizens at the Ewing SeniorNet Computer Literacy Center, reading for the blind at the NJ Library for the Blind and Handicapped and singing in Princeton Pro Musica and the Hopewell Valley Community Chorus.
The talk will begin at 7 pm and be held in our first floor Community Room (next to the library cafe). Please contact the library's reference desk at 609.924.9529 x220 if you have questions.

Let's Talk Technology!
My name is Janie Hermann and I am the Technology Training Librarian at Princeton Public Library in Princeton, NJ. I am also the founder and coordinator of Tuesday Technology Talks, a monthly evening program that is now in its sixth season.
The Tech Talk series began in October 2000 and it is dedicated to exploring current and emerging technologies. We rely on invited guest speakers to deliver a talk on a technology topic in their area of expertise. The program opens with a librarian(usually myself) giving an overview of technology training at the library for the month and it concludes with a discussion period that is moderated by a staff member opr the presenter. Topics have included everything from P2P Networking, Linux, Wikis, Blogs, The Invisible Web, Digital Photography and much more.
This blog will be used primarily to promote upcoming Tech Talks, but will also include updates about the extensive training program that is provided in the library's 2nd floor Tech Center. In addition, I will post other technology information that I feel will be of interest from time to time.
Tech Talks are free and open to the public. No advanced registration is required. I am always looking for good speakers, so if you can recommend someone please let me know.
Now, let's start talking about technology!

An overripe pomegranate was sitting on the counter and I thought I'd try using the bright red juicy berries to add to a boiled book. Maybe it would turn red inside? Hmmm... Do you think?
I also thought it would be a good time to try some liittle pieces of old cotton fabric from a pillow case. Seems like it should absorb about anything it's so old. So, I alternated fabric and watercolor paper in a stack with leaves off my deck, and the pomegranate seeds. Same routine as former experiments, layerd between tiles with rocks on top in the pot. This time I didn't use any clamps. I trusted the weight of the rocks to keep some pressure on the papers. Boiled1 1/2 hour, took out and let them settle overnight. Here's how they looked the next day.
Here is the fabric as I peeled it off the leaves.
I don't know how lasting this color will be. I didn't pretreat the fabric with anything to help it set the color. I guess time will tell. I might try ironing half of them anc compare later.
I'm not tires of this process yet, so will probably do more experiments as time permits. I hope you have tried it too.

Welcome to a new GamerSushi feature wherein Anthony and I interview The Gaming Fortune Teller, the world's most famous gaming prophet. He is blessed with the uncanny ability to predict gaming events before they happen. He even called the fall of the Virtual Boy, and we all know that came out of left field.
So without further ado, I present to you our recent sit-down with the Fortune Teller, who only appears once in a lunar cycle, coincidentally. Something about vaccinations. We asked him some of our more pressing questions concerning our favorite pasttime, video games.
GamerSushi: O wise Fortune Teller: Will Bungie's next project after Halo go to the PS3 as well as the Xbox 360?
Ah, foolish little noobs, you beseech me with questions of console loyalty, when the universe beckons me with queries of the eight (yes, eight!) senses. Such matters are simple when you possess my superior cognitive abilities. But lo! I see more in Bungie's future than merely Microsoft. No, the next Bungie game will be one of the maiden titles of the next Microsoft console, as well as the black behemoth's successor.
GS:You mean the PS4, then?
Bah! Such simplistic questions bore my wandering soul. Surely you seek to do more and travel to the beyond with the Gaming Fortune Teller!
GS: Uh, right. Fortune Teller, in your humble wisdom, answer our query: Will music games ever stick with DLC instead of full priced sequels?
The future is murky…wait! The warrens open and the cosmos are telling me…music games, melodious as they are to so many of the masses, have a hidden sound, heard only by the game's makers. It is the music of the universe and in it lies your answer…listen closely…you can hear it now:
Sadly, no. DLC, though always impressive to this Prophet, does not generate enough Profit as a sequel.
GS: Great and mighty Fortune Teller… Will the next generation be dominated by motion control?
Ah, the titan of motion control marches forward like some great colossus, ready to destroy all fun in its path. Yes, I see the doom of gaming as we have known and loved, and the rise of more motion controllers, though not quite to the extent of the Nintendo Wii. Doom, doom I say! The mighty trinity of gaming will seek to capitalize on Nintendo's fortunes, and turn foolishly towards casual gaming. They have overlooked one thing, however- why would a casual gamer seek a new console every few years?
GS: Most noble Seer: Will Nintendo ever recapture the hardcore gamer?
Oh, foolish child! Turn that yellowed page, stained with Wii-success, for never again shall the hardest of the hardcore be satisfied with the Plumber! Despite all they may protest, Nintendo is now the domain of the soccer mom and the grandparent and the young child. Remember fondly the past joys it brought you, but turn away before it's too late! So sayeth, I, Most Holy Wise Profit. Er, Prophet.
GS: O intelligent divinator, will any of the new holiday releases fall flat?
Zounds! I have seen into the depths of despair, and thus do I know that not every game will contain the riches that you seek. It has come to me in the way of a plant-induced dream that The Last Remnant will fail. Square, oh mighty Square, you have lost thy touch! And while I'm at it, here's a freebie: Final Fantasy XIII will suck balls. Ballllllllllllls.
GS: Why are you waving your hands around like that?
I'm supposed to disappear. Oh well. I grow weary of your inquisitories! Better luck next time. I must away for my vision is blurring and I must rest. Return again soon for more answers!
So what do you guys think? Feel free to do some fortune telling of your own.

I continue my NaNo prep series for the second week in a row! This week I'm talking about the thing that you add to all year…the survival kit!
My survival kit is actually not more of a survival heap, because it's all kind of piled in an old basket because I have no other space to put it.
And survival kits are super varied…I know of one person who just has a pair of headphones and sticky notes. Whereas mine…is overflowing. Literally.
The Essentials
- My bullet journal + all bullet journaling supplies
- A regular notebook
- Sticky notes in four different colors
- Highlighters in four different colors
- A baby naming books
The Non-Essentials That Aren't…Well…Essential But Are Still Totally Needed!
- My "It's a Dark and Stormy Night" mug
- Three different kinds of tea
- Hot chocolate packets
- Any Halloween candy I might happen upon.
- A stuffed animal to stare at me while I write and therefor motivate me (this year it's a life-size Stitch)
- Fingerless gloves
- Various snacks (dried fruit, crackers, beef jerky, ect.)
HELP I'm Juggling NaNo and College At The Same Time! (So I'll Write at Lunch)
- Noise canceling headphones
- A bluetooth keyboard so I can write on my phone
- A STOP TALKING I'M WRITING sign
So, blogglings, what's in your NaNo survival kit? Do our kits share any of the same things?
Happy Monday,

Cheteshwar Pujara slammed a sparkling unbeaten 135 as India gained firm control of the first cricket Test against South Africa with the top-order showing remarkable application to give the visitors a substantial overall lead of 320 here today.
The Indians first bundled out the hosts for 244 for a slender first innings lead of 36 runs and then batted with purpose and maturity to reach 284 for two at close on an eventful third day's play with Pujara again showing his apetite for a big score with an unbeaten knock of
The 25-year-old Pujara notched up his sixth Test century while the in-form Virat Kohli is looking good for another big score as he is batting on 77.
The duo put on 191 runs for the unbroken third-wicket stand in only 44.1 overs as South Africa were dealt with a telling blow of Morne Morkel being ruled out of the match due to a ligament tear in his ankle while fielding.
Pujara, who was dropped on 51 by leggie Imran Tahir off his own bowling, made full use of the reprieve as he hit 18 boundaries in 221 balls. Unlike first innings, Kohli played the second fiddle hitting eight fours off 132 balls as South African captain Graeme Smith couldn't devise a strategy to get the duo out.
With two full days left in the game, the visitors will now try to extend the lead further by piling up some quick runs and then hope to dismiss the Proteas who will have to bat last on a deteriorating Wanderers track.
In the morning, veteran Zaheer Khan (4/88) took three of the remaining four wickets as South Africa could add only 31 runs to their overnight score of 213 for six.
Zaheer now has 299 wickets in Test matches and will need only one more to become the fourth Indian bowler after Kapil Dev, Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh to enter the '300-club'.
Ishant Sharma also picked up a wicket today to end up with impressive figures of four for 79.
For Pujara, this was his first Test century away from home and his sequence of scores in the last four first-class matches (including this one) reads 113 (vs West Indies), 102, 9, 269 (in Ranji Trophy) and 135 batting in this game.
Having missed out on a big score after being set in the first innings, Pujara brought up his 50 in the 46th over before Tahir spilled the return catch. India duly crossed the 150-run mark in the 49th over, and the lead swelled to 200 runs in the 53rd.
The runs came at a fast clip as both Pujara and Kohli didn't miss out on punishing the loose deliveries.
In the 61st over, after drinks, Pujara drove Steyn to the boundary and completed his sixth Test hundred.
The ball was changed in the 67th over, as the Indian batsmen had beaten the previous one out of shape, while India's 250 runs came up the next over. Finally, the 300-run lead came in the 74th over, as the two batsmen looked to play for the close. (PTI)

When it comes to Gary Busey, you're guess is as good as mine. Here he is explaining what Hobbits are. Like this: "Imagine havin a team of hobbits come with you to clean cockroaches out of a house. They'd be gone in thirty minutes."
Or this: "Can't tell the boys from the girls, which must make it exciting for them. You know, just finding out what that apparitus (?) says. Girl or boy. And they travel in packs of four. Because you never know what a hobbit's going to do, and you know he isn't going to do it by himself."
It is amazing. [via filmdrunk]

Reality Tidbits
Australia's Next Top Model "Style Director" Johnathan Pease Dating Model.
Johnathan Pease is a walking cliche as he is now dating model April Pengilly. At least he is not dating any of the girls from the show. Apparently they have been dating for about a month.
Personally I find him particularly unattractive but then again he is on TV and some girls like that. Link to article here with a particularly ordinary photo of Pease.
Gretel Killeen Like Most Off Us – Cannot Watch Big Brother.
Former Big Brother host Gretel Killeen says she has no regrets about leaving Big Brother. Gretel sums it up nicely when she talks about the low rating show saying "I think it is much better not to have seen it." I couldn't have said it better myself!
Full story here.
Apparently Kyle Sandilands had been taking note of the positive publicity Mike Goldman was obtaining when he was stand in host, and he showed a much warmer side to himself on last nights eviction show.
Rumours have also been flying about the show (probably started by the Producers) that Tara Reid, and/or Adam Sandler would be on the show – I will be surprised if either appear.

New Jersey's Growth Challenges
New Jersey's New Economy Growth Challenges (PDF)
By James W. Hughes and Joseph J. Seneca
New Jersey now faces its most uncertain economic future since the Great Depression. Previous economic challenges that arose in the post–World War II period seemingly resolved themselves with minimal public policy direction, and prosperity ultimately reigned in every case. But there have been recent warning signs of a potential gathering economic storm. This is raising formidable challenges that until now have been obscured by the sheer momentum of the state's affluence. This time, the economy may no longer be able to fully self-adapt successfully, as it has in the past, because the state now faces unprecedented competition for high-quality economic growth. This new reality must stand front and center on the public policy agenda.
However, recent years have seen signs of an erosion of New Jersey's once-unique advanced economic assets. There have also been subtle but significant shifts in the state's employment growth patterns signaling that the positive advances of the past two decades are beginning to retreat.
Key parts of the core economy—including the state's unique concentrations of technology-based economic specializations—have not only stopped growing in the 2000s but, in a number of important areas, have started to contract.
Consequently, in the 2000–2005 period, the state lost 117,600 high-paying advanced services and manufacturing jobs. The private service-providing job growth sectors in the 2000–2005 period were in he below-average-paying sectors of education and health services (+60,800 jobs), leisure and hospitality (+35,900 jobs), and other services (+16,500 jobs). Employment growth in these three low-paying sectors totaled 113,200 jobs.
In 1990, New Jersey accounted for 5.2 percent of the nation's total high-technology employment base, reflecting a significant concentration in the state. But, by 2005, the state's share had dropped to 4.0 percent. While this still represents an above average share, the scale of erosion is quite substantial. And it has affected every single high technology sector.
Pharmaceuticals are representative of this pattern. In 1990, New Jersey had 20.2 percent of the nation's total pharmaceutical jobs, slightly more than one out of five. By 2005, the state's share had declined to 13.7 percent. In 2004, California overtook New Jersey as the state with the most pharmaceutical jobs. For perspective, in 1990, California had only half the number of pharma jobs as New Jersey.
However, disturbing but clear evidence is mounting that the state's competitive position in these sectors has eroded. New Jersey needs to pay sustained attention to its economic development policies and its business environment to recapture its former comparative advantages. No less than the future economic well-being of the state is at stake.

lillebaby EuroTote Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]
Thanks to Scandinavian Child I was sent the lillebaby EuroTote™ to review. It is such a fabulous product! I have never seen a baby carrier like it. The fact that it is 5 products in 1 is amazing! (see picture) It is a cradle carrier, fits into a convertible car seat, as a bunting bag in a stroller, as a play blanket, and as travel bedding. It has so many uses! And it is so nice because when you use it as a carrier, you can switch out the covers depending on the season. One is a warm fleece cover so your baby stays warm, and one is a mesh cover so your baby stays cool. I also love that you can buy extension straps and wear it across your chest. I really wish I would have had this when bug was a baby. I know it will come in handy when I have my next.
More about the EuroTote™ from the lillebaby website.
"Simplify life with baby on the go! Ideal for traveling with baby, the EuroTote™ does far more than any single function baby carrier or bunting bag on the market. Specially designed to fit the American parent's lifestyle, the EuroTote marries stylish Scandinavian design with easy-to-use American functionality and safety requirements.
Tote it Anywhere
Whether climbing stairs, boarding a plane, or making your way through a crowded coffee shop, leave your stroller outside and effortlessly bring your baby. From home to car seat to stroller and anywhere in between the EuroTote simplifies life with baby on the go.
Let Sleeping Babies Lie
Transporting your sleeping baby has never been easier. The EuroTote's sturdy carrying board ensures that your baby doesn't notice a thing. Carry the EuroTote over your shoulder or across your chest.
Lose the Weight
The EuroTote weighs less than a pound and fits directly into most convertible car seats (Crash test FMVSS 213) and strollers. Simply unbuckle the safety straps through the back of the EuroTote and leave the heavy car seat behind.
Adapt as You Go
The EuroTote converts so you can pack light. Use as cradle carrier, soft stroller bassinet, play blanket, stroller bunting bag, and travel bedding. Even nurse in privacy without moving your baby." -lillebaby Website

Hopefully on Friday I can show you the FOs that have been causing me headaches for the last week or so. They've been sitting on the windowsil glowering at me for the last few days, and I'm hoping someone else will have some inspiration.
I've finally started my Christmas crafting, but no pictures on that until the new year, so isn't it a good job that I started 2 other projects? They're almost ones from my list and everything!
This yarn is the most astonishing colour. It ranges from pale lilac to the deepest rich purple I've ever seen. It's a joy to crochet with, just like my last purple yarn from Old Maiden Aunt, and it's had me happily sighing since I started it last night. The pattern is Plumeria frill, and it's turning out to be interesting already. I love post-stitches!
No, your eyes do not deceive you, that is knitting you see there. Thanks to my lovely knitting friends, I've managed to start this shawl, which is by the equally lovely Stitched Together. I desperately wanted to knit something, but the blanket I started was waaaaaaaaay too ambitious for a beginner (anyone surprised? no?). This is a little ambitious for someone who's never knitted a whole 'thing', but I really can't face making a square scarf, if I'm honest. And I wanted to see if I wasn't enjoying knitting because the patterns were boring, or if I just don't like it. I love big shawls, so hopefully this will tell me! The yarn is King Cole Riot, same as I used for my All Shawl, so I already know I like it. The sunlight makes it look much fluffier than it feels in real life!

5 Years Ago Today
I would have included a picture of Brett if I had one on this computer. Maybe if I get some time i'll post more wedding pics later today. We're not having much of an anniversary today with everything going on. I might make some fondue tonight if I find time to go to the store. We'll just have to make up for it next year.

WORD of the DAY
Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me… And the king will say to them in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me'. (Matthew 25: 34-36/ 40)
Today's Gospel has aroused great fascination through the centuries, even to this day so distracted by the secularized culture of our times. The concreteness of the gestures on which our eternal destiny will be decided and the ultimate truth of humanity, are presented with such simplicity and immediacy that it conquers all possible ideologies to the contrary.
In the end, we will all be judged on the basis of the concrete gestures of solidarity that we have shown to those in need or that we have not shown. On this lies in the balance an eternity of happiness or an eternity of suffering.
It is also noteworthy that Jesus identifies with the needy, with all those to whom we are to show love and concern. "You did it to me"….Mother Teresa of Calcutta considered these the most important words of the Gospel.
Our salvation depends on our actions now, on our seeing Jesus in others because He identifies with them. When we care for them, we are caring for Him; when we reject them, we are rejecting Jesus.
The voice of Pope Francis in the Bull of Indiction of the Jubilee of Mercy
We cannot escape from Jesus' words on the basis of which we shall be judged: if we have given the hungry to eat, the thirsty to drink. If we have received the stranger, clothed the naked. If we have made time to be with the sick and the prisoner.

Hi dudes, girls rulez everyday, but even more today! So I thought to post something special for you women 🙂 The women who always have been being an highlight for me since I was a child were some beloved actress such as
- Anna Magnani, especially in Mamma Roma by P.P. Pasolini. A tough woman with an hard past.
- Sophia Loren: she's the typical sexy and independent Italian woman. Here below with Alberto Sordi.
- Claudia Cardinale, the beautiful girl with the cold heart. Maybe you remind her in Il Gattopardo or C'era una volta il west by Sergio Leone.
- Brigitte Bardot. I like her duality: on one side she's the typical French femme fatale, but one the other side she's smart and loves animals, fighting for their rights.
- Sandra Bullock. I love her role in Gravity, she's alone in the middle of nowhere and she find the power to go on.
- Cate Blanchett. I love watching her performing Blue Jasmine by Woody Allen. She represents all the shades that a woman can have in her entire life.
- Meryl Streep is a real "iron lady". Still not can find an actress of her skill.
Maybe I forgot some amazing actress, but these are my favourite since I began watching films times ago and all that ones embody the kind of woman who daily inspires me. Do you agree with my tastes? Which actress do you prefer? A big kiss for you, girl 😉

The big news for me is the release of more Forgeworld models for the Chaos Renegade Militia. First up are the Enforcer conversion kits. These guys perform a similar role to Commissars in an Imperial Guard army. I don't like the rules for Commissars and I wasn't sure about the first sneak preview I saw previously. Having read the Renegade list in the Siege of Vraks Imperial Armour book I think the Enforcers will see significantly more use in CRM lists than Commissars do in IG lists. This is due to the rather random nature of the CRM leadership values. So I might HAVE to include some of these models. With that in mind I took a careful look at the figures (there are 5 in total).
I'm still not sold on the heads. Everyone parodies Games Workshop for overusing the skull imagery and it's just too easy to slap a skull on something and call it Chaos. Each Enforcer carries a different type of weapon. The 'power prod' looks the best to me as it is very finely sculpted with lots of detail. The chain and power sword look okay, as does the mace, but the whip just looks weird. Maybe it's the angle of the photo but it seems very awkward. Plasma pistols, bolt pistols, las pistols, auto pistols and shotguns round out the their armoury. These models still get a meh from me. Perhaps I need to see them in the flesh.
The Rogue Psyker models look far more promising. These are sculpts by Mark Bedford, one of my favourites at Games Workshop. There are two distinct poses. The first has arms outspread and is obviously revelling in his powers. My first thought on seeing him was to use him as a Daemonhost for my radical daemonhunters army. A very nice model.
The other psyker seems to be a bit more concerned about his powers. He's holding his head like the Edvard Much painting 'Scream.' Again, this is an excellent sculpt.
The only problem is that the rules for them are not great. They are very similar to the Imperial Guard Sanctioned Psykers who add lots of character but not much practical power to an army. There are some neat rules for becoming possessed, but they are hardly an essential choice.
So, a bit of a mixed bag. We have one unit which is vital but has iffy models and another unit which has good models but dodgy rules. Ho hum.
It's not just 40k that has new Chaos models. Forgeworld have finished the Harbinger heavy bomber for Aeronautica Imperialis. Take a look at the scale comparison with the other Chaos craft. This thing is huge!
I want to get into this game one day. The only good thing about not getting it straight away is that Forgeworld will have a load more models for sale for it by the time I take the plunge.

On 24 July 1914, Laszlo Count Szogyeny, the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador to Germany (pictured), sent a coded telegram to Leopold Count Berchtold, the Austro-Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs. In his telegram, Szogyeny informs Berchtold that he delivered a copy of the Austro-Hungarian ultimatum to Serbia to the German Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Count Szogyeny to Count Berchtold. Berlin, 24 July 1914.
In accordance with your Excellency's instructions, I handed the Note to Servia [i.e. the Austro-Hungarian ultimatum to Serbia] to the German Minister of Foreign Affairs [Gottlieb von Jagow] yesterday, and this morning, obeying your Excellency's instructions by telegram, I gave notice of the change in the expiration of the term to 18:00.
Herr von Jagow sends his thanks for this information and assured me that the German government agrees entirely with the contents of the Note.

All the excitement finally got unleashed today, with the start of bumps. I'd had a mixture of nerves and excitement through the morning (pretty much since the crew meal the night before) but marshalling and waiting for the starting gun I actually felt pretty calm, and nowhere near as nervous as I'd been beforehand.
Random non-rowing picture (courtesy of Muf):
Things went pretty much exactly how I'd predicted they would for M2 - we moved up on Caius M2, but LMBC M2 were too slow and so Caius bumped out and we were forced to row over. Mostly today just put any lingering nerves and doubts at ease for the rest of the week. There were no fuck-ups on our side, and no surprises from behind us either. I was somewhat worried just because of the lack of experience in the crew, and I thought that nerves could perhaps do a few people in, but it turned out not to be the case.
We got off to a smooth start, rowed away from Jesus M2 fairly comfortably, and look likely to bump on the next day, at the very least, and can hopefully move up two more on the final two days if results don't go against us. Being faster than the two boats behind us can give us a fairly big lift, because it means if we go up on Thursday then we shouldn't have anything to worry about chasing us, which simplifies race planning a lot because it means we can really just focus on what's ahead of us on the river.
W2 also did really well, bumping Sidney Sussex II before things even got going - apparently in the first 30-60 seconds (depending on who you believe). It'd be good to see them moving up through the division for the rest of the week.
Apparently my comments about the Newnham paint-job ruffled a few feathers in their college yesterday, so I apologise to Newnham if I in any way implied that they had no right to paint a public bridge (well, aside from it being against the law and stuff, but I don't really give a toss about that) or that their club are shit, which isn't true, and you can't blame current rowers particularly for them starting low down the start order. I'd only actually care or be indignant about anything if you'd painted over a brand new double-headship Downing paint-job, because then it would be a bit of a dick move, but the Queens' paint job had been there more than long enough. Mostly I'm just somewhat impressed and jealous at the whole bridge-painting escapade.
Also congrats on Newnham W2 for overbumping today, and doing a decent job of sending some rubbish down for Downing W2 to hopefully bump into over the next few days.
Oh yeah, and M3 got bumped today, but they're a lowerboat so we'll keep fairly quiet about them until they start doing well :x
Anyway, tomorrow is when the real event kicks off, and when things will finally become a little bit clearer for the first divisions, and who is actually most likely to be holding the headships on Saturday evening. I've got a crapload of work to do tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure I'll still make the time to be on the river for the W1 and M1 divisions, because I really wouldn't want to miss it. At the very least it looks like it'll be a change from the dull row-overs at the top that have been the norm for the last couple of years.

Last summer, I embarked upon a path to create a dining room table from some walnut boards cut from a tree that grew on the Franklin's ancestral Wayne county farm. When I was contacted to initiate the construction of a nine foot long table, I was somewhat anxious about my ability to accomplish such a project, but it turned out to be very successful, and led to the construction of some additional benches and stools from a maplevtree that grew alongside the walnut tree.
I recently delivered eight stools to the family who had faith in my ability to complete this large order. I was shown the area where the trees had grown, perhaps for 150 years, and I was proud to play a part in preserving the memory of these historic trees into future generations.
I am hoping to complete more of these highly challenging projects.

|Approaching Cary Lake
The Adirondack Region is one of the more beautiful locations in the summer months. The landscapes are full of lush greens and fields of flowers, with the light beautifully changing throughout the day. The rivers and lakes are usually still, with wonderful reflections of the neighboring hillsides.

Fits very well

Nice graduation gift!Thanks
Five Stars
too large! I ordered an M and had to reduce the waist. Elegant dress!
Very, very nice!!
I thought it wasn't going to fit when I ordered it, but surprisingly it fits perfectly and looks great!! Stretchy and soft high quality material, while the collar is more firm. It also has a fitted waist as well.
Five Stars
perfect summer dress
Pretty. But a bit loose. I wear size 4 and ordered small but it was not form.fitting. still lovely. I think it will shrink after the wash
i loved this dress
i loved this dress. the stretch is perfect so it accentuates the right spots, the length is jus right (floor length) and it was NOT see thru. love love love this dress
Gives that perfect lift you want to make your outfit noticeable.
Love it
Love Love Love This Dress!!
I received so many compliments when I wore this dress that I have now ordered a few more in different colors. So comfortable and fun to wear! Extremely flattering for any size/shape woman.I used the pull-down menu size chart near the top of the page, by the price, to select the size. I'm 5"7", about 155 lbs, 38-30-40, and chose the Large. The stretchy back is *very* accommodating.

Just beautiful
Perfect Little "Alice" Dress
Totally cute, simple dress - perfect for anything you attend! Will be buying more in different colors soon!
Words cannot describe how much i love this dress.this is my first time buying those irregular hem dresses and since everyone is wearing it nowadays, i wanted to get one and i love it. i cannot wait to wear it. it fits me just right. its a little see through on the bottom but if you are considering buying it, i'll say do it.

Great dress! Would definitely buy again!
After I had bought this dress, I started reading even more of the reviews and got worried after I had read the dress was too short. When it finally arrived, it actually did fall a little lower than mid-calf. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it did not stop me from loving the dress at all! It looks like that's the way it should fit. I think I like it better than if it would have fallen down to my feet. The fabric feels great and fits so nicely, I have no regrets with buying it!
Pleased and Happy
Very pretty. I had to email the vendor after I placed the order and they were super courteous and helpful about changing my size for me! I am usually a Small, but from reading reviews I changed my size to a Large and it was perfect fit. My waist is a 26/27. Delivery took about 2 weeks; which was a nice surprise to me. I am 4'11 120lbs.
I bought this for my boyfriend for after to prom weve been together for almost a year and I want to do something different because you know its cute I was worried that it wouldn't fit me but it did I have a waist abut and boobs but it was fine I weight 150 and im 5'4 and a all size excpected to fit fit wonderfully
Five Stars
Sexy dress fits well but a little too short in the front


text: It's been my understanding that the reason for cooler air equalling better performance (on a turbo or NA engine) is that the density of the air is higher, so you get more oxygen per cubic foot of air. Which is why your car runs better on cool damp days than hot dry ones, since the atmospheric pressure is higher. I'm no engineer, I'm not sure about this, so please feel free to correct me. Under this line of thinking, wouldn't it make sense that a large air intake which tapers through ducting and finally arrives at your intake manifold, be more dense due to the increased pressure, and therefore provide better combustion? I may be totally misguided in this, but I would like to find out. This thread has been interesting. -Matt

Here I am again after another once again long sleepless night. I don't know if depression is causing more pain or the pain is causing more depression. All I know is that I am both. This morning I believe the pain is the major issue. Stemming from acrossed from the pulling of my lower spine and the top of my hiney on the leftside then radiating down my left leg. Oh my gosh it's painful. And what's so sad about the whole thing is I've been from doctor to doctor and they treat me like I'm making it all up! I know what I'm feeling. I wish for one minute they could feel what I feel, then maybe I would get some form of satisfaction. This has been going on for years now.
I see all these people that go to doctors that don't have pain and they have a non-stop stream of pills which they don't need which in turn, turns them into drug addicts. Then you have others like me that has real problems and can't get any relief. What is wrong with the medical profession these days? In this day and age it seems like they would have somekind of machine they could hook you up to that could measure the pain a person is in. If there is then I have yet to come across a doctor to use it on me.
Years back I hurt myself at work. In fact after the injury it's like there was a sign of "make her suffer" stamped on my forehead. I don't know if it's my low threshold for pain or my high threshold for pain relievers but I continue to suffer day after day. Of course I go for spurts where it's tolerable and doesn't seem to bother me as much but then there's other times when I just can't shake the discomfort. This present run of pain has lasted for a few weeks now and it makes it harder and harder for me to function from day to day.
I think with the time for the year and the pain being so over-bearing just makes the upcoming holiday season that much worse. I also found out during an ER visit during a severe migraine that I has a condition called Chiari. Which, after tons and tons of research I believe adds to the reason I feel pain so much worse. It has something to do with the cerebellum (which is at the base of the brain). From what I understand, I was born with it. It is a birth-defect and is alot more common then not but it goes undected and for the most part doesn't rear it's ugly head for most people. Unfortunately in my case it has.
Now the problem I have is to locate a knowledgeable physician to help take care of this ongoing problem for the rest of my life. I'm wondering, if it's possible to walk into a doctors office, tell them I'm looking for a doctor and just meet them if just for a second to shake hands. I think I'm a good judge of character and will be able to tell by the touch of the hand if they are a caring person or not. Is that possible?
I think I'm delirious this morning and just rambling on and on. It is impossible for me to focus on anything other then this intense pain so I think I will just stop for now and hopefully be able to do some constructive writing later today.

Toadstool Baby and Fat Cats
Lizzy is our darling #9. She is so wonderful! Six months old is a beautiful age, don't you think?
Yesterday after school, I drove out toward the mountains to visit a Ragdoll Cat Cattery. These beauties live in a lovely home where cat trees abound. Yes, there are beautiful cat perches (made by the husband of the cat breeder) and there were even kittens (upstairs in the nursery). They are very careful with the kittens, so I did not take any photos of them.
Bill rolled his eyes at me when I told him that I am cat shopping. There will be no feline resident here any time soon. That's okay. I did like my little cat adventure. I forgot that cats are very hairy, I admit.
I have two more days until my spring break. Yahoo! Today we are having a poetry slam. I must stop at the store for coffee cups (for hot chocolate and tea). The students have been very relaxed and nice. I feel sure they are anticipating many days of sleeping in late and eating junk food.
Our snow is subsiding and the weather promises to hover around 60 degrees. That's good!
Kelli is preparing the Easter meal! Good again!
Truthfully, I've been kind of forgetting that this is Easter week. I'll correct that.
Thank you for stopping by! I pray your day is full of meaningful interchanges and calm covering.

Lovely, lovely baby!!! She is just so cute and yes, with kissable cheeks. The kitties were pretty too.
I bet you are glad you are off next week. I hope you have some warm weather.
Personally I think I will be ready to go back to school. I am feeling panicky because I have about 8 weeks left and I still have so much to do. :)It has been hard to think of Easter with it coming in March. I am thinking I will just do Passover. Have a nice couple of days.

Lovely Li'l Lizzy! I'd love to smooch those fat cheeks.
Pretty cats too. i like cats, but I like them outdoors. I'm not an indoor pet person. Our cats live at the barn and our dog, Sue, gets to sleep on the rug by the front door, but that's as far as she can come in.
Happy Easter Break. What ever happened to Easter Break (instead of spring break)?

I'm taking the calm covering prayer, but leaving the meaningful interchanges for now, if that's ok! I'm all interchanges out and want lots of Quiet before Sunday! Isn't Lizzy looking so beautiful and so well. God is so good. Those cats look very sleek and regal. They scare me slightly!

Darling Lizzy, she is such a little cutie patootie Miss Pom Pom ! Her skin is so peaches and cream, I think she is destined to be a great beauty !
As for the pussy cat.....oh go and buy one ! My 2 old girls are my best friends. They are 13 years old now and sisters and I wouldn't know what to do with myself without them. They are short hairs and don't shed a lot of fur much of the year. The only place they shed is on a towel that they know they can sleep on and then I simply wash the towel. Ragdolls are beautiful but they would shed lots of fur x

Thanks for sharing the grandkiddos! Hazel is just turning 7 months, so I understand what you mean about 6 month olds. They are just beginning to blossom in the personality department!
Have a peaceful and blessed Easter! I think we're going out to eat with some of our many children and grands. :)

At least 200 protestors gathered Friday outside the Egyptian Embassy in London after news spread that Gaza peace activists had been beaten by Egyptian police in Cairo.
The protest was organized by the British Muslim Initiative in association with the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign.
The demonstrators called on the Egyptian president to allow the international aid convoy "Viva Palestina" to enter Gaza through the Egyptian border.
More than 200 vehicles packed with food and medicines left London on December 6 for Gaza. But they are now stranded at the Syrian port of Lattakia as the Egyptian authorities do not issue permits for the convoy to enter Gaza through the port city of El-Arish in Egypt.
The demonstrators in London chanted slogans such as "Mubarak Siege Must End", "Mubarak Wall Must Fall", "Free Free Palestine," and "Mubarak Zionist."
They also urged the ban on the entry of "Viva Palestina" convoy to be lifted.
The Egyptian government is building a steel wall along its border with Gaza to prevent the traffic of any goods to the blockaded strip. It is also avoiding opening of the Rafah crossing for international aid convoys to pass through Gaza.
Peace activists and human rights campaigners have called on Cairo to lift the ban and allow the flow of international aid into Gaza to avoid a humanitarian crisis.

It's a KING
I feel kind of weird blogging about this but I am too excited not to! Jason bought a new bed shortly after we started dating and it ended up being defective. Basically it slanted toward the middle. Jason had to go through many steps in order to get the bed returned. He had to prove that there was at least a 1 1/2 inch drop in the bed, which he did. Though his place is not really large enough for a King-sized bed, I know there will be more years ahead in a different home than his currently place of residence . I cannot express just how excited I am to have a King-sized bed when we're married!! It'll be like we're on vacation every night! I wish I had some way of convincing Jason the bed needs to be stored at my apartment instead of his until then, but I guess my full-sized bed will have to do. Sooooo excited!!

I know there are many other posts pending but this is one entry that deserves to cut queue ;)
Last weekend, I decided to check out Isetan's sale (finally!). I know I am a little late but as much as I didn't want any compulsive buy albeit their very attractive members' promotion on the first day of the sale a week ago, my shopping conscience finally got the better of me. My one-day of browsing through beauty counters at Isetan KLCC (sans any purchase, so proud of myself!) finally made me decide to go back to Isetan to grab their fantastic beauty deals.
Hence, I decided to check out stuff at CLINIQUE and this was one of the stuff I got... the CLINIQUE new Superbalanced powder makeup with SPF15/PA+++.
The SA explained that it is sort of a mineral makeup where it can be used on its own after you've put on your sunscreen. Note that these days, all beauticians will stress the importance of putting on sunscreen after your moisturiser, even if your foundation contains SPF. You can layer it on their Superbalanced liquid foundation if you like but apparently, the powder still suffice on its own.
I have to say that I am a little skeptical when it comes to using mineral-based makeup. I've used Bare Escentuals and Dior but both gave me rashes and they both clogged my open pores. But the 'gatalness' in me and the attractive packaging of CLINIQUE's powder made me try it out.
The SA swept 'Deep', the darker of the 2 tones they have and it came out perfect! The colour blended well with my skin tone and it looked like it gave a medium coverage just on its own. With an 18gm weight and a RM140 price tag, I say that it is worth to purchase.
The powder comes in a nice rounded thick compact-like-loose powder case. And like most mineral-based foundation, you'd have a brush instead of a sponge applicator. What I like about the brush, though, is that it isn't like those usual thick-rounded kabuki brush you'd normally get from buying mineral makeup. This one's broad enough for the powder to cover your cheek area in a few sweep yet slim enough to apply them powder neatly on your narrower eyelids and upper lip areas. Smart invention, no?
You're supposed to twirl the top circular part for the top compartment to express enough mineral bits for you to apply to the entire face... much like having a diving watch and you twirling the top dial to see how long you've been underwater ;P haha... really not the same reasons but you get my drift, right?
I used it on my skin today and I must say that I am very impressed with this product. I've never really had any good experience with CLINIQUE's powder makeups - be it their loose powder, pressed powder or any of their compact foundations. I like their liquid foundation but that's that. However, this one seems to suit me perfectly - the colour is just perfect, one sweep of the powder on my skin gave me a medium coverage enough to conceal my open pores, it doesn't make my skin itch, it gives me a healthy-radiant glow first thing in the morning and best of all, I think it's sorta sweat proof when I was doing my normal morning chores before leaving the house for work. I love it!
And as all the other mineral makeup, you just simply have to layer the powder if you want better coverage. So far so good. 2 hours later and the makeup blends with the natural oil secretion on my face, I look even more fresh and radiant.
Since I've only used it twice, I can't say much about the pore-clogging part yet. So far, if you use the right products from CLINIQUE that's suitable for your skin type, you may not encounter this problem. Therefore, I am keeping my fingers crossed but will update you if I do get breakouts from the powder.

Hemingway Classic - Natural
Debuted in 1983, the Hemingway Collection has been the cornerstone of Arturo Fuente's cigar business for years. Known for consistent quality and a famous flavor profile, the series pays homage to the famous author for whom the cigar gets its name from - a man that smoked Fuentes regularly. This cigar is a classic. No surprise that it is named The Classic, it is arguable that no non-cuban cigar has more tradition and success than the Hemingway Classic.
The Classic is a beautiful perfecto vitola, measuring 7" x 48 ring. Rolled to perfection, with virtually no flaws on the delicate Cameroon wrapper leaf - it is no wonder that Cigar Aficianado listed the Hemingway Classic as their #7 cigar of the year for 2009. Proving the cigar's timeless taste and quality. The Classic is bound and filled with Dominican tobacco.
I've smoked Hemingway's before, but never a Classic - this is a beautifully presented cigar and I'm excited to light it up.
Initial Thoughts
The cigar is something to behold. You can see how well-made it is just by looking at it. The perfecto vitola is a thing of beauty on this Fuente. Cameroon wrapper's are particularly thin and fragile, so only the best rollers can roll the Classic. The cigar is firm and seems to be of high-quality in every aspect. Not particularly aromatic, the draw is slightly resistant and I don't get a lot of taste on the cold draw.
With the cigar lit, I'm not too blown away with the taste. It is good, but it is predictable. Then again, I tend to feel that way about most Fuente products. If you've smoked a Fuente, you've smoked all of them (exluding Opus X and Anejos). Surely there are differences and some better then others, but there is definitely similar qualities in all of their cigars. For me, and my ADHD self, that is a let down, but in hindsight, that type of consistency is a testament to the quality of the Fuente product. To have such consistent quality with the amount of production Fuente handles is pretty damn impressive.
The cigar burns nicely and produces tons of smoke. Very smooth and a mild-medium body. The flavor profile is cedary with a little cinnamon.
Smoking it and Final Thoughts
The Classic was an enjoyable smoke. Not my favorite flavor profile. But I'm sure this is perfect for a lot of people out there. There was a lot to the cigar in the way of flavor. I would say it is complex overall, but not in an evolving way. The last third of the cigar kicked things up a bit, but you're tasting similar flavors throughout the cigar.
I recommend the Classic to all mild and medium smokers. The cigar smoked wonderfully and there is a lot of value in the product.
I have a Maduro Classic on hand and will be doing a comparative review sometime soon. So keep an eye out for that.
Overall, I enjoyed the cigar and came away with a better experience than I had expected. The flavors of cedar, mild sweetness and cinnamon were almost fulfilling; lacking just a little bit of body for my taste.
Overall - B (would be an A if I liked the flavor profile better)
Amazing quality. Amazing burn. Consistent flavor

Absolute Property Services
I just want everybody to know about this company. I am in the real estate business and I came across Absolute Property Services several years ago. I have worked with many property management companies in the area but have never seen one like this. This company is the highest example of how property management should be done. Everybody from the maid to the owner of the company are truly professional. The office staff are friendly, knowledgeable and caring. Everybody takes time to help you find your home and then take care of your every need once you're in there. I was so impressed with this company that I ended up renting from them for years, until I bought my dream home. During the course of my rental experience if anything no matter how big or little went wrong, Jennifer would dispatch somebody to take care of it immediately. That is something I have never witnessed before. Not only is Jennifer Hallex the owner of this company, she also takes the time to speak with anyone and everyone that needs her. This lady is super busy and you just don't find people like that anymore. If there was a way to get this company 10 Stars, believe me, I would do that. Keep up the great work guys you are setting the bar very high for the competition!

My mum wants grandchildren
Sound like the title of a book. Or a movie a la mode of Honey, I shrank the kids. For me though, it's a lot more real.
It was some time ago now. Can't remember what the prevailing conversation was about, or how the topic came up. I certainly wouldn't bring up anything down this alley. Anyway. I was in the kitchen when I heard her make the remark. "I want grandchildren". Clear and unmistakable. I hadn't laughed out that loud in a while. This was the second time she'd made that exact statement. She'd also made a similar remark declaring that I'm perfectly capable of finding a girl [to marry]. Said in a manner to suggest she felt she need not find one for me. I was plainly embarrassed that time.
Back to the latest incident. I had to curtail my laughter somewhat after taking a glance at her and getting the feeling she was hurt by the way that statement had been dismissed, or otherwise laughed off. I have an older sis who has 2 kids and this was pointed out to her by my small sis, in an effort at consolation. Apparently, they aren't strictly [culturally] speaking her grandchildren. They belong to the other side of the family. Eyes and attention shift back to me. I duck back into the kitchen. This is scary stuff. The kind of thing that would make a guy make a run for it. These aren't the kind of conversations I want to be having. Still. It's another reminder that I'm not very young.
Well, as I always say to this kind of thing, I have to find a woman first. And that's not an easy thing.

Today we decided to return to Ashton-under-Lyne. Research for today consisted of checking the Dennis Dart Forum to see which Darts wee still rnnning for First Manchester and to check the weather. The Darts in service at Ashton were 40382/384/403/406 with 40374 out of service at Oldham and 40380 on loan to Oldham. Matthew only needed 3 of the 6 First Darts in this area 40384 & 40406 were still around and 40374 didn't look likely to work. we also learned of two new ALX400 bodied Volvo's at Bury which were 30879 and 30880. The weather was for cloudy with sunny intervals, with rain later. Matthew got up around 10:30 today, and had some toast and juice for breakfast. We set off around 11:45 and went onto the A5035. We went past the Hem Heath pub and onto Stanley Matthews Way. We got onto the westbound A50 and then onto the northbound A500. Today we decided to stop on the end of the A500 to eat food from the van there. We hadn't found anywhere that did food that Matthew liked in Ashton the time before, so we decided to stop early. He had a bacon and egg sandwich with tomato sauce washed down wit a can of Coke. We got onto the Northbound M6 and there was a little traffic. It was the college holidays and the RHS show was on at Tatton Park. We the got on the Eastbound A556 which we did up to the M56. We then got on to the anti-clockwise M60 which we did up to the A6140. We came into town a different way and we accidentally missed the turn and had to turn in the road near the railway station. We the went back past the bus station before we parked near the leisure centre. As we came into town we saw required First Manchester Dart 40384 on a #331 service. We parked up and the we started to head towards the bus station. we then saw Stagecoach Manchester 22098 enter the bus station on a #317 Stockport to Ashton service.
