Do you use social networks frequently? If yes, then you might be a narcissist! A new study has found that, when used often, social websites can easily makes us more narcissistic.
This interesting discovery was made by researchers from the University of Michigan. In their study published in the online journal Computers in Human Behaviour, they capture all their observations. For the purposes of the survey, scientists used interviewed more than 90 adults at an average age of 35 years, as well as nearly 500 university undergraduates. The research focused on the amount of time they tend to spend and the amount of content they publish on their social network profiles. In addition, the study tried to find a connection between the social habits of respondents and the traits of their personality.
One of the findings which resulted from the survey was that young adults who frequently update their social status show stronger traits of superiority, exhibitionism, self-sufficiency, authority and exploitativeness. In other words, they bear more traits that are directly connected to narcissism.
In addition, college students who participated in the study were also found to value their own opinions highly. As a result, they are the most likely group to share personal opinions and views in the online social world.
In comparison, adults at a middle age, who often publish post in the social networks, seek rather an approval from others. Unlike youngsters, adults have a formed social image and role. Therefore, they are not using social websites to showcase themselves and their beliefs, but to see how others respond to them. Nevertheless, middle-ages active users of social websites were also said to exhibit more narcissistic traits compared to passive users. The only difference between youngsters and adults who have the habit of frequently updating their online social status is that they simply rely on different ways to build their social image and boost their ego.
However, the researchers from the University of Michigan also believe that additional studies examining the amount of time users spend in reading and responding to posts and comments by others also need to be conducted. According to them, a user's posting habits show only one side of the coin.
Also, the survey was not able to find whether narcissistic people are naturally more likely to use social networks actively or not. Nevertheless, it did conclude that social media and narcissism have a lot in common.

Sunny Mothers Day Party
Awhile back I hosted a Sunny Mothers Day Party and then never followed up with the photos from the party, so I'm sharing today. For the party I wanted it to be something casual and fun. I scheduled it after lunch and before dinner so we had an afternoon of reminiscing and snacking on some delicious desserts.
I had the boys paint hearts on small canvases to give to each of the women I invited, and then wrapped them in a cute polka-dotted yellow paper. They loved the gifts! I'm so happy everything went over well. After the party we all went out to eat for dinner. All in all it was a very nice day.Read More
Team Wiking – 1, Two Weeks Away
Aiden has been gone since Friday evening, hence Team Wiking -1. He is spending 2 weeks away with the other part of his family and I've spent almost every night crying about it. I have no clue what I will do when he goes to college (except try to convince him to go to a local school). I have been able to work on some things that I would otherwise not think about because I would most definitely be spending time with Aiden than cleaning the garage or painting the dining chairs so that they finally match the table. He comes back in 9 days (yes I've been counting down) and I can't wait to see his little face again. Though it's much bigger than in the pictures I posted he will always be that little boy that tries to climb my legs and clings to me like a magnet.Read More

A Tuesday on the Road
Today was another long day on the road to Portland. We traveled through the second half of Missouri, the ENTIRE length of Kansas (very boring I might add), and a good majority of Colorado. We are staying in Denver tonight at a friend of Ross' in downtown. We enjoyed a nice dinner on the outside porch and are hoping to call it an early night here shortly. More details to come tomorrow night.

Be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his power! Put on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil!
So says Paul in his letter to the Ephesians, as we will hear proclaimed this coming Sunday. For most of us, this doesn't have a lot of meaning. We don't tend to wear much armor these days — unless one participates in the SCA or other historical re-enactment group — so words like breastplate and shield and helmet and sword don't mean a whole lot to us. Of course, Paul isn't talking about literal, physical armor, but is using these as a metaphor to help us understand what God can do for us. These are protection for us, when we go out to pursue the Great Commission, when we share God's Good News with others. Sharing the gospel can be risky, even scary. It touches the very deepest parts of us, and we make ourselves vulnerable when we share these deepest inmost parts. We need God's protection when we reveal our vulnerability, when we take risks, and God is very happy to give this to us.
In the gospel appointed for Sunday, Peter reveals his own vulnerability, taking a risk before Jesus and the other disciples. For the last few weeks, Jesus has been teaching some hard things. After feeding the multitudes — with the Resurrection itself, one of only two miracles that appears in all four gospels — Jesus finds many people following him, asking for more food. He seizes on this as a teaching moment, trying to show the difference between the things of this world and the things of heaven. In this world, when we eat or drink, it satisfies us for a time, but then we need more food and more water again. Eventually, all the food and water in the world is of no use, because in time, all of us in this world die. But in God's kingdom, we find the things that last forever, that are real and true and good. The living bread that Jesus describes sustains and satisfies us forever, without ever needing more. Finally, Jesus comes to today's passage, which sounds like he's advocating ritual cannibalism. Cannibalism is anathema to the Jewish people in this time; to even touch blood makes one ritually unclean, much less to actually drink it! So many in the crowd find this teaching to be just too much for them, and they walk away from Jesus, probably shaking their heads in disbelief.
In this passage, you can almost see Jesus. You can see him sigh deeply, as his shoulders hunch. He has been preaching and teaching and healing nonstop. He just fed thousands of people, and now they reject his message. He is disappointed in his people, that they turn away from his truth. And so, weary and dismayed, Jesus turns to his closest friends and asks, So are you guys going to leave me now, too?
I'm sure that the silence was eloquent. I can see the disciples looking at each other, at the ground, at the sky, as they shift their weight uneasily. What can they possibly say? Jesus has been teaching some really tough, confusing stuff here, and none of them is quite sure what it means. Finally, Peter speaks up and answers for everyone. Where else would we go? We know that you are the Holy One of God. You have the words of eternal life. We would be lost without you. And this is true. They might not really understand Jesus — probably not much more than we do today! — but they are still with him, because they believe in him.
This is what God's armor is for. The armor of God gives us the courage to say, when the whole world tells us we're crazy for our faith, that believing is a good and joyful thing. The belt of truth upholds us while the breastplate of righteousness keeps us safe from words that might harm us. The shield of faith gives us the courage to become vulnerable by sharing God's message. And the sword of the Spirit is the word of God, the words that we speak — or that speak through our actions — to bring others to God.
The armor of God is a particularly apt message for me in my life right now. This last weekend, I made my promises as a novice in the Anglican Order of Preachers, so now I'm Sister Warriormare, or maybe Sister Hedwyg. 🙂 The Dominicans are dedicated to preaching and teaching, to saving souls by sharing the gospel. Our calling is to make ourselves vulnerable in the same way Peter does in this gospel story, to say Yeah, sometimes really crappy stuff happens. But where else would I go? Jesus has the words of eternal life. I would be lost without him. And to support us in this calling, God clothes us in God's armor. As many religious do, we have a habit that represents our calling. Our informal habit is a black-and-white outfit that makes us look rather like waiters; our formal habit is a white tunic with a black cowl. Most days I wear the informal habit, and when I put it on in the morning, I am reminded of the armor of God. The habit strengthens me, even if others don't know I'm even wearing a religious habit; it reminds me to behave as a person of faith, to preach the gospel in words and in actions. This past Friday, my class of postulants was clothed as novices. We wore our white albs, and the black cowls were placed upon us, arming us to go out into the world and be defended as we do God's work. When I wear the formal habit for worship, when I'm out in the public eye dressed this way, I am reminded even more keenly of my call to save souls, to share the gospel. And I do feel protected by this armor. It would not turn away arrows or bullets, but it does help me to handle harsh words, disdainful glances, and behavior that speaks of contempt. Somehow, I find more courage, to help me open up, take risks, and become vulnerable.
I know that clerical collars and vestments are another form of the armor of God. They help our clergy to be similarly strengthened and defended in their work to share the gospel and save souls. The thing is, we don't really need actual, physical clothing. When we're weak, physical symbols of our faith can help us, can remind us of our commission from Christ, can remind us that no matter what anyone else says, we count on Jesus' words of eternal life. A simple cross on a chain can be the armor of God. And we can even put on God's armor inwardly, by imagining the breastplate and shield and helmet and boots. By intentionally arming ourselves against harm, we are better equipped to take the personal risk, to make ourselves vulnerable by sharing the faith that forms us at such a deep level.
The psalmist tells us, happy are they who put their trust in God! Trust in God. Put on God's armor. And share something deep and important and real and true… today!

Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan's mom Dina tells PEOPLE that her daughter Lindsay went to the hospital on Thursday night. She was accompanied by friend deejay Samantha Ronson.
Dina said "She was losing oxygen. She couldn't breathe.She was afraid to go the hospital because [the paparazzi] were gonna write about it. She was sick. If you were sick, and you're mother couldn't even take you to a hospital because paparazzi will fabricate some story, you know, it's sad. It's really sad."
But Dina says Lindsay's lucky to have Ronson by her side, telling PEOPLE, "Samantha is an angel."

Its kinda fucked up that the Franklin Institute is currently showing a movie called tornado alley what with the hundreds dead down south
There's this awful show on PBS based on the cat in the hat. It hurts my brain, and if my (hypothetical) children insisted on watching it I might have to smother them in their sleep. Why can't all children's shows be as adorable as Curious George? And that's not just my pro-monkey bias talking- it's a really good show! Whereas the cat in the hat show raped my childhood remotely.
The Davinci exhibit was well worth the $10, but admittedly parts of it were a bit….much. Still fun tho. And the Franklin institute helped redeem the parts of my childhood that were traumatized by that awful cat in the hat show. Seriously, watching that show would actually make the children dumber. And terrible terrible music. If the children are the future, and the children are watching that show, then I weep for the future.

Oh, the Pain!
*snark alert: This would have been worse if they were able to spell! All the same, I AM bummed! I thought this would have been the perfect venue for my book art.
I can't help but think about the Sound of Music and the words in the song about when a door closes, another window opens. I wonder if that will be the case here...
In other news, I'm working on my Free Form Folds tutorial... The introduction is done as well as a few other pages. I'm struggling with words right now! I can show people how to do things, but writing the instructions? YIKES!
Prayers for the loosening of my tongue would be much appreciated! :)

Showcase Journal
The latest issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine reports greater global improvements in IBS patients and less bloating after rifaximin.
Dr Mark Pimental and colleagues conducted a randomized, double-blind trial in 87 patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) .
The patients between the ages of 18 and 65 years were randomized to rifaximin, an antibiotic that works only in the gut, or a placebo for 10 days.
Patients reported their symptoms for the next 10 weeks.
The team found that more than 50% improvement in symptoms was reported by more 37% who took rifaximin vs 15% taking placebo.
However, the researchers did not detect a difference in symptoms of diarrhea or constipation.
Dr Pimental's team cautions, The study demonstrates improvement for a relatively small group of IBS patients, but side effects may be difficult to assess in such a small study when considering the large patient population with IBS.

A friend on Facebook asked for opinions on this video. It's a interview of Cody Wilson of Defense Distributed. I answered:
From an interview standpoint: Beck not being a bombastic asshole is always nice. He's a very considerate host here. Is he always like this on TheBlaze? Wilson has some very good points and their conversion is good.
From a societal standpoint: I think it's pretty clear that Wilson intends this to be a test to show how limited our government is and how society truly values the idea of freedom. He's trying to force the authoritarian mindsets' hand more than anything, to provoke a reaction. He (I think) believes (and I find it likely) that the authoritarians aren't so much a group of people but a mindset that (nearly) everyone has at least in part. This is a test of our principles, our willingness to really trust the individual with power.
What wins, the love of freedom and celebration of individual empowerment or the fear of others, avarice and the desire to control? This democratization of power isn't as inevitable or unstoppable as Beck suggests. If we're willing to give in to fear and sacrifice the very concept of liberty, which we've done in the past, if we're willing to hand the keys over to a fully authoritarian government, they can shut things down. He's worried about power creep, but he's not trying to subvert it, but shock society into choosing between unabashed authoritarism and a society that doesn't restrict individuals a priori.
From an engineering and strategic standpoint: this is a symbol. It doesn't truly democratize much, because the AR and most modern firearms are built around the assumption you have a way of producing propellants, primers and cartridges. Each of those is an additional control point (and bullets, too, but they're pretty easy).
If you want truly distributed armaments, you'll want to move to something else. Cartridgeless, I figure, probably smoothbore with sabots, as rifling is a serious pain in the ass, with liquid propellants, perhaps ethanol. And you'd use a different priming mechanism, like a piezoelectric ignitor.
You'd design a set of families of weapons along those principles: a pump with no springs (springs are hard), an autoloader with springs, an autoloader that's servo driven, etc. You'd perfect small arm smooth bore tech as well as the alternative propellants. Essentially, you're perfecting potato gun tech.
Somewhere, someone is doing this. And their probably doing it quietly for a reason, likely waiting to see the reaction to Wilson's AR-15.

Hi all,
I found a drabbit for sale from California on Craigslist. I am hoping he arrives in the mail soon. Looks like a nice fluffy one but seems to have angry expression on his face. Since this one seems to be so blackhearted. That is how I came up with the name Obsidian Black heart of Poe. For an interesting touch I added Poe as the area he is from, for a touch of gothic feel since that seems the emotion he eminates. He reminds of the bird vulture like creatures out of the dark crystal, though more dragon vulture conbination. Must be those eyes that give him the fierce personality.
I am also looking into getting three other drabbits from a fellow in Pennsylvania, he had advertised some drabbits from before. I am looking into a purple, green, and blue ones. I posted prvious pics of these characters but its good to show again so you know what I mean. These are all large drabbits, I feel lucky finding such nice ones for a good price and the man is nice enough to hold them for me.
As soon as I finish selling somethings on ebay, then I would be happy to buy the other three. I am not sure if I want to buy a red one at the Pa Renaissance Faire, it all depends if I can find one I like, guess we will see. Well that is all for now working in hats and we will see if I get them close enough to post photos.
P.S. Sold a dress and can get all three :-D excited as all get out.

First CQ Block
The center piece is off my husband's tie. Clark Gabel and Scarlet O'Hara in Gone With the Wind. Her dress was a blue green so I chose the triadic color scheme for this block. Blue Green, Red Violet, and Yellow Orange. It's a little different, but I think it will make into a beautiful block when embelishments are added. What do you think?

I agree - it will be a beautiful block. Great planning with the curves!

Thelma, I think your second block is going to be beautiful! I often wonder about a block I've just pieced, but nearly always love them after embellishment.
Keep up the good work!

I keep looking at it and wondering what am I gonna put where, etc. It's so fun just trying to think of ways to embellish. I never thought I would like cq as much as I do.

- Thelma said...
Thank you Sharon,
It is going to be fun deciding what stitches to use, etc to finish it with. I have got to find colors that will go with this, probably will go with the split complimentary scheme to have more choices of colors for the threads and ribbons, etc.

"Frankly My Dear... I just *Love* it! Your color choices are great, the curved pieces are a neat-o idea. I can't wait to see it with the seam stitchings and what you add to embellish it. Have you started on it yet? It would have been great for a RR. Let us know when you get Scarlett all dolled up, okay!? It's already beautiful!

If you are into eating a well rounded, plant based diet and if you are into being athletic then this book is for you. If you just want to learn how to eat a well balanced, vegan diet then this book is for you too. And for those of you who are into maximizing their athletic performance, pushing themselves physically and mentally, this book is for you. It is also a great read for people who are just being introduced to a vegan diet because this is the proper way to eat, in my humble.
Health, fitness, wellness, Mr. Brazier touches upon it all in 'The Thrive Diet.' Not so much a diet, more a lifestyle, this book is so packed with information, it is hard to put it down. Brendan Brazier, the author, is an amazing athlete in his own right. A former Ironman Triathlete, he is also an ultra marathon runner as well as the creator of the awesome plant based supplement line, Vega. So needless to say, this guy knows his stuff.
Nothing is really left unsaid in this book. There are over 100 recipes including exercise specific ones, a 12 week detailed eating plan and some full on teachings about the way nutrition works. He literally covers all bases of the healthy, active, vegan lifestyle making it very easy for one to leave their meat laden diet behind, once and for all.

I like to bake and I like to cook mostly because I like to eat and having Celiac Disease makes that tricky. I've been learning both over the years and am finally at a place where I feel truly comfortable improvising.
Cooking and baking with an infant is a whole new level of chaos. I have fried bacon while he slept in the Ergo and somehow managed to breastfeed whole baking cookies. These cookies were mixed yesterday and baked today, all while he was awake and I have no idea how that happened. Usually, I get a decent dinner or something sweet made after he is in bed. I've also somehow made three quiches, and need to do that again!
This recipe I wrote up is based on one going around Facebook lately. When improvising cookies, it's all about the balance of wet and dry ingredients (said a wise friend of mine). This is my third attempt at this recipe and by far my favorite. The rolled oats are beneficial for milk supply and I plan to try another batch with some flax and Brewer's yeast for added benefit. Don't be afraid of the vague measurements and changeable ingredients. Embrace them!
~Three overripe bananas
~1/4 cup some kind of milk substance (I have used cow, almond, and canned coconut)
~1/3 cup applesauce (I used a single serve cup that I didn't like the flavor of)
~dash of vanilla
~eyeballed 1/2 cup peanut butter
~2 cups gf rolled oats
~some raw cacao powder (no idea how much I put in) (use baking cocoa if you must but this is totally optional and you could do cinnamon or something instead)
~some shredded coconut (1/3 cup?)
~Chocolate chips (1/2 cup?) (nuts or raisins would work if you're into that kind of thing)
In a bowl, mash up the mash-able stuff then add the stir-able stuff (except chocolate chips) and stir it up.
Smoosh it down into the bowl and cover with plastic wrap so there's no air in it. Refrigerate for a while, which is usually overnight for me. This makes the oats nice and soft and the cookie holds together better.
Preheat oven to 350. Add in chocolate chips (or nuts or raisins) and stir it together. On pans lined with parchment paper, spoon out your dough and shape how you want them. They don't rise or spread so how you place them is what you get. It usually takes 25 minutes or so. Transfer on parchment paper to racks to cool. I store them in an airtight container and might need to fridge them when it's hot.
Only have two bananas? Roll with it and decrease the other amounts a little. You can change it up pretty easily and it's all good. So, it can be gluten free, vegan, sugarless, and all around yummy. I think this was my beat batch yet!

posted by Dion Mucciacito, cast member of Boleros for the Disenchanted
A curtain is falling with the cascading shimmer of guitar strings.
A young couple embrace,
bathed in light and possibility.
Their older selves on the opposite side of the stage
hold on to this memory of hope.
A flicker of light that glimmers from the past
like the stars in the sky.
Stars that might already be gone, but we wouldn't even know it.
Their light still lingers.
The curtain has fallen.
We have just finished our last preview for José Rivera's Boleros for the Disenchanted and the curtain for our opening will soon rise. The cast and crew have put a lot of work into this piece, and we are still finding new and exciting revelations as the process of deepening continues.
As much as this play is about dreams and memories, it is also deeply about hope. How hope can somehow exist in a place where the light of dreams past have been extinguished by life's brutal circumstances.
Upon starting work on this play that I deeply love, by a playwright that I have admired since a teenager, I have been waking up and writing about my dreams.
So much of life we defer dreams as fleeting figments of our imagination.
But what happens to a dream deferred? I love my dreams. They are the gold that I mine for in my process. They can be prophetic, haunting, and cathartic.
For myself, having the opportunity to work on this play is a dream fulfilled. Or I should say "in process," because we have until the end of the month to keep dreaming lucidly. All of us in the cast seem to have devoted our process to shining a light to reveal the meaning in the dream that is in front of us in the form of text. I am in awe at how quickly we have become an ensemble. Moreover, a family, focused on telling this story that is so dear to all of us for one reason or another. I became aware of the play a year ago, when I had an audition for the production done at the Huntington Theatre in Boston. Upon first reading it, I loved the play. It resonated with me on a very personal level. José's work has always done that for me. There is a dignity and strength to his characters even when encountering circumstances that break one's heart and test the very metal of their spirit.
For my family, this dignity in the face of struggle has been a constant. When I was very young, I watched my mother lose a six-year battle with cancer and die in a slow, humiliating way that rent my heart to witness. My Mother, the light of my life, 34 years old, broken. Yet somehow hopeful. She would speak to me of her dreams, and desires. Even though I was eight, I knew these dreams would probably never be fulfilled; I understood her condition. Yet it was good to hear my terminally ill mother dreaming of the future.
Was she delusional? Maybe. I view it as courage. A defiance in the face of the slow despair that was bludgeoning her will.
She kept fighting. For what? For love? I still wonder. I ask myself if I have this fight in me. While in the midst of working on this play, in the midst of scenes that echo her plight, the question lingers. "Do I have the courage to keep fighting in the midst of grim circumstances?" And by fight, I mean to live without fear, and love like each moment could be my last. That is the challenge: to live moment to moment. And it is the challenge to the actors in this play to give our life, love, and truth to the words given to us.
It is a testament to the strength of the play that all of us—actors and our beloved director, Carey—are taking the task of bringing it to life so personally. All of us see ourselves and loved ones in this beautiful storm of words that José Rivera has written. And we have been dancing in that rain for the past month. Some days singing, and some drowning. But most, admiring how, when the light passes through the rain, a whole spectrum of a world is revealed. It has been our task, and our joy, to find this "light" in our selves that will illuminate this world of the play for the audience.
Yet my question still remains: "Do I have the courage to keep fighting...?"
The older characters of Flora and Eusebio in Boleros for the Disenchanted are constantly asking that question of themselves. Why keep going if the colors of the world have been dimmed to grey even though the sun is bright? Where can one find hope? Perhaps for Flora and Eusebio it is in the choice to love, and the remembrance of the innocence and truth of that basic choice. As she tends to her sick husband, Flora is asked, "You don't want to run away?" in regards to her marriage with Eusebio. And she replies, "Every day. I cry, I get mad, I blame him, I blame myself. I beg God for a different life… but, in the end, I don't walk away."
Somehow, I find, the experience of art, of watching a play or listening to a piece of music, or seeing someone live without fear can cleanse the soul of all the clutter that keeps one from seeing clearly. And a moment of communion is reached. A catharsis. A moment of clarity. The defenses are down and the inner workings are somehow changeable. The glimmer of distant constellations of dreams are re-awakened. They ask, "Do you have the courage to keep fighting… ?"
The curtain is about to rise at A.C.T. for Boleros…
I can only pray that the curtains of my eyes stay open as I dream…

The synchroscope is an instrument that shows the relative phase angle and the frequency difference between two alternating voltages. This instrument indicates when alternators are in phase. It also indicates whether the frequency of the incoming generator is higher or lower than that of the generator already connected to the line.
There are a number of versions of synchroscopes available. Two commonly used synchroscopes are the polarized-vane type and the moving iron type. These synchroscopes are
designed for operation on single-phase circuits. Both devices show when the voltages of two single-phase ac generators are synchronized. They also can be used with three-phase genera- tors if the phase sequences of the generators are known.
Polarized-Vane Synchroscope
The polarized-vane synchroscope (Figure 11–24) uses a mechanism that is similar in physical structure to that of the polarized-vane power factor meter. The basic difference in this mechanism is that the polarizing coil is wound as a potential coil rather than as a current coil. The stator winding has a phase-splitting network and is connected across one phase of the incoming generator. The polarizing winding for the vanes is connected across the corresponding phase of the generator already on the line.
The stator winding of a polarized-vane synchroscope is arranged so that a two- phase field effect is obtained by a phase-splitting network, as shown in Figure 11–24.
In the stator network system, capacitor C causes current I to lead the voltage (V) by a large phase angle of 75° to 80°. Current I lags V because of the inductance of coil A. The amount of lag is about 10° to 15°. As a result, the angle between currents I is 90°.
Operation of the Polarized-Vane Synchroscope
Figure 11–25 shows the relationships between the field and vane fluxes for one cycle with the voltages of the two generators in synchronism. If the rotating field is 61 Hz and the field of the vane polarization is 60 Hz, then the rotating field is 1⁄60 th revolution ahead each time the vanes reach maximum magnetism in one polarity. The vanes line up with the position of the field at the instant of maximum vane magnetism. Thus, each complete cycle of vane polarization brings the vanes 1⁄60 th of a turn further around. For this case, the vanes make one complete revolution in one second. If the stator field rotates at 62 Hz, the vanes will rotate twice as fast. That is, they will make two revolutions in one second.
Assume that a frequency of 59 Hz is applied to the stator windings and 60 Hz is applied in the polarizing coil. The vanes will then make one revolution per second in the opposite direction. In other words, the speed of the pointer is the difference in frequency of the incoming generator and the machine already connected to the line wires. The direction of rotation of the pointer shows whether the speed of the incoming generator is too fast or too slow. When the two generators are operating at the same frequency, the vanes do not rotate. The position of the pointer for this case indicates the phase relationship between the two voltages.
Electric motors, transformers, and other types of machines require the correct volt- age for efficient operation. These machines are also designed to operate at a definite frequency. In the case of electric clocks, it is very important that the frequency be accurately indicated. A variation of a small fraction of a cycle, continued through a long period of time, can result in serious errors in time indication on an electric clock. Therefore, electric power systems must operate at the correct frequency. It is obvious that frequency- indicating instruments must be used to show the frequency of a system.
Standard practice requires that ac systems operate at a single frequency. Thus, frequency indications are required to cover only a narrow band of frequency values on either side of the normal frequency. This means that the accuracy of the instrument is improved over what it would be if the instrument covered a wide frequency range.
Resonant Circuit Frequency Meter
One type of commonly used frequency meter is the resonant circuit meter. The physical structure of such a frequency meter resembles that of the dynamometer.
A schematic diagram of a resonant circuit frequency meter is shown in Figure 11–26. The use of two series resonant circuits provides a deflecting torque that has a definite relationship to the applied voltage regardless of its magnitude. The two field coils are alike and are connected so that their fluxes oppose each other. Each field coil is
connected in series with an inductor–capacitor combination. The constants of this combination permit series resonance below the normal operating frequency in one field coil and series resonance above the normal frequency in the other field coil. If a frequency meter is designed to operate on a normal frequency at 60 Hz, the field circuits are designed so that they are in resonance at 45 Hz and 75 Hz. The armature coil is connected through lead-in spirals. It has almost no countertorque effects and carries the total current of both field circuits.
Changing Circuit Impedance. The change in the circuit impedance of each field coil circuit with a change in frequency is shown in Figure 11–27. Figure 11–27B shows the currents in each of the field circuits and the total armature current. The magnitudes of these currents vary with frequency. Within the operating range of the frequency, the curves show that the impedance of the circuit resonating at 45 Hz is inductive. For the circuit resonating at 75 Hz, the impedance is capacitive. This means that the current in field coil F in circuit A always lags the terminal voltage. Also, the current in field coil F in circuit B always leads the voltage. The actual value of lag or lead and the magnitude of the current in each circuit all depend on the frequency. The current in the armature is the vector sum of the two field currents. Both the armature current and the armature flux lead or lag the terminal voltage, depending on which field current is greater. When the frequency is such that the leading and lagging currents are equal, the armature current is in phase with the terminal voltage.
Field Flux
The fluxes of the field coils oppose each other. Thus, the resultant field flux is the vec- tor difference between the two fluxes. At 55 Hz, the resultant flux leads the armature flux by an angle that is slightly larger than 90°, as shown in Figure 11–28A.
The torque due to the resultant flux acting on the iron vane is proportional to the product of the armature flux and the in-phase component of the resultant field flux. The direction of the torque in Figure 11–28A causes the pointer to move downscale.
This deflection of the movement causes the iron vane to move out of alignment with the field flux. A countertorque is developed as the vane flux and the field flux align them- selves to obtain the shortest possible flux path. When the countertorque equals the armature coil torque, the pointer comes to rest.
Increasing Frequency. With a higher frequency, the leading current (I ) increases and its phase angle with the line voltage decreases. The lagging current (I ) decreases and its phase angle with the line voltage increases. As a result, the phase angle between the
terminal voltage and the resultant field flux also decreases, as does the phase angle between the armature current and the applied voltage.
Figure 11–28B represents a condition in which the two field currents are equal. These currents have equal and opposite phase angles with the applied voltage. The armature cur- rent is in phase with the applied voltage. The resultant of the two field fluxes is 90° out of phase with the voltage. Therefore, the in-phase component of the field flux is zero and there is no deflecting torque. The field flux aligns the iron vane so that the pointer is held at midscale.
If the frequency increases even more, the leading current increases and its phase angle with the applied voltage decreases. The lagging current in the other circuit decreases and has a larger phase angle with the applied voltage. The armature current now lags the applied voltage, as shown in Figure 11–28C. The in-phase component of the resultant field flux is now in the opposite direction. The resulting torque causes the pointer to move upscale.
Resonant-type frequency meters are usually designed to operate on single-phase 115- or 120-V circuits. If the meter scale has a range of 55–60–65 Hz, the meter will indicate frequency values to an accuracy of 0.15 Hz.
Many applications require that the conditions existing in an electrical circuit be monitored constantly. However, it is uneconomical to assign a person to record instrument readings repeatedly. To overcome this problem, recording instruments are used. Such instruments provide a graphical record of the actual circuit conditions at any time. Recording instruments may be grouped into two broad categories:
1. Instruments to record electrical values, such as volts, amperes, watts, power factor, and frequency.
2. Instruments to record nonelectrical quantities. For example, a temperature recorder uses a potentiometer system to record the output of a thermocouple.
Recording instruments are similar to indicating instruments in many ways. They use a permanent-magnet, moving-coil-type construction for dc circuits. For ac circuits, recording instruments may use either the moving iron or the dynamometer-type con- struction. Whereas the pointer of an indicating instrument just shows the measured quantity on a fixed scale, a recording instrument provides a permanent graphical record. The measured quantities are drawn on a scaled paper chart as it moves past a pen at a constant speed. Because of the friction between the pen and the chart, the indicating movement must have a higher torque than is required in an indicating instrument. As a result, recording instruments are larger and require more power to operate than is required by indicating instruments of the same scale range. Recording instruments are also more highly damped than are indicating instruments so that the pen does not overshoot the chart.
Strip-Chart Recorder
The strip-chart recorder is the most commonly used graphical recording instrument. The permanent record of measurements is made on a strip of paper 4 to 6 in. wide and up to 60 ft long. Figure 11–29 shows an ac recording voltmeter. This strip-chart-type voltmeter has several advantages over nonrecording voltmeters. The long charts allow the record to cover a considerable amount of time. This means that a minimum of operator attention is required. The chart can be operated at a relatively high speed to provide a detailed graphical record.
The principal parts of a strip-chart recording instrument are
1. the frame supporting the various parts of the instrument.
2. the system that moves according to variations in the quantity being measured.
3. the chart carriage, consisting of the chart, the clock mechanism, the timing gears and drum, the chart spool, and the reroll mechanism.
4. the fixed scale on which the value of the quantity being recording is indicated.
5. the recording system, consisting of a special pen-and-ink reservoir or an inkless marking system.
The same basic types of moving systems are used in both graphical recording instruments and indicating instruments. A permanent-magnet moving coil mechanism is shown in Figure 11–30. This mechanism is used with a dc recording instrument to overcome the friction between the pen and the chart. The pen in this movement is carefully counterbalanced. A repulsion-vane moving system for an ac recording ammeter is shown in Figure 11–31A. Figure 11–31B illustrates a two-element electrodynamometer mechanism for a three-phase recording wattmeter.
Chart and Drum. The graphical record is drawn on a chart that is graduated (scaled) in two directions. One of these scales corresponds to the scale range of the instrument. The second scale represents hours, minutes, or seconds, depending on the clock mechanism and the timing gears of the chart carriage. The timescale is uniformly spaced for a constant chart speed, which is provided by the drive mechanism. The drive for the timing drum may be a synchronous electric clock, a conventional hand-wound spring clock, or a spring-type clock mechanism wound by a small electric motor. The last drive listed provides the convenience of an electric drive. Also, it guarantees that a power failure will not stop the chart motion until the spring runs down.
The friction between the chart and the pen requires that the pen drive mechanism have a greater torque than in a simple indicating instrument. The larger instrument movements are costly and take a great deal of power from the circuit being measured. The amount of power required can be reduced by using electronic amplifiers. Such an amplifier can drive the recorder element using less power from the circuit to be measured. Voltage and current signals can be amplified directly; the measurement of power and VARs requires special amplifiers.
Amplifiers. One type of amplifier used for power and VARs measurements is a photo- electric device. This device uses conventional wattmeter elements mounted on an auxiliary shaft with a reflecting mirror. An optical system with photocells and electronic amplifiers develops a dc current proportional to the quantity to be measured. This type of amplifier has sufficient power to drive the recorder pen.
Pen Positioning. Many recorders use a motor-and-gear system to position the pen. A regulating system compares the input voltage to the voltage of a precision slide-wire potentiometer (which is driven from the recorder output shaft). If the input voltage changes, the servoamplifier causes the motor to run until the pen and its attached potentiometer are positioned so that the slider voltage is equal to the signal voltage.
A recorder using this system requires very little input power from the circuit being measured. The output drive is so powerful that accessories can be added, such as auxiliary slide-wire potentiometers, limit switches, and devices to code the measured quantities into digital computer language. These accessories can operate alarms and remote devices and can supply information to digital computers.
Other accessories permit recorders to graph many different quantities on one chart. A stepping switch connects the measuring circuit to a different input at regular intervals. As soon as the pointer is positioned, the printer places a dot with a number beside it on the chart to indicate the input being measured. The stepping switch then moves to the next input, and the process is repeated. As a result, the chart contains a series of dots for each of the input signals.
Most recorders operate from a dc signal having a magnitude in millivolts. Such recorders require transducers to convert quantities such as pressure, flow, strain, ac volts, ac amperes, watts, and VARs to dc millivolt signals that can be recorded.

Beijing Only Had 13 Days of 'Good' Air Last Year
Posted by w_thames_the_d on March 14, 2014
China's pollution is catastrophic. Check out the facts:
"Beijing only had 13 days considered "good" on the US index last year, with 70 days of moderate air pollution, 64 at unhealthy for sensitive groups, 148 unhealthy days, 45 very unhealthy, 14 deemed hazardous and one day that registered at "beyond index", ie off the scale. Weather conditions in Beijing and the surrounding regions often compound the particulates generated by coal burning, cars and industry, with cold winter air trapping the pollution."

(FYI, it's Random-Questions-and-Ramblings-from-Dana day here at the ol' bloggeroo.)
I just read all about it here and was VERY excited to read about making it in the crock pot here.
I'm on this kick right now of making stuff yourself. Actually, that's always a kick I'm on.
I aspire to DIY everything that is somewhat interesting to me. It's all about the thrill! The bragging rights! The (sometimes) satisfaction! The personalized, cutesy, artsy touches! The savings! The freedom!
(I like me some freedom, now)
For instance, I recently found this site that I have developed a major crush on. Actually, an emotional, needy, high school girl obesession, if you want to know the truth.
(Thank God I have a husband who will come pry my clawed, stuck fingers away from the mouse. I think he just wants to eat.)
(Does anyone remember the one when Chandler played Ms. Pac-Man so long he had the "claw hand"? Just wondering.)
So, my crush's name is Young House Love (no you can't have it...it's mine and I neeeeed it!), and it belongs to a young couple who bought a small house and completely re-did the whole thing themselves. It is so cute and charming, I could pee myself.
Here's a small peek into a guest bathroom they did.
You should see the "before" picture.
The table the sink is on used to be a night stand. ahmygah.
Anyway, this post actually has nothing to do with them. I'm just ga-ga.
Recently, PW's Tasty Kitchen blog featured a post on making your own ingredients. It spoke to me. Now, she apparently live in the Town of Middleonowhere where the nearest grocery store is miles and miles away... so this especially makes sense for her.
But I am trying to tighten up on my grocery budget, and have two small children whom I dearly love, but prefer to take nowhere unless unlimited childcare, snacks, train rides and coffee are involved....so this makes sense for me too.
They have instructions for how to make oodles of stuff yourself from baking mixes to sour cream to taco seasonings to brown sugar to...wait for it.... Nutella. (and Kahlua. not that I noticed.)
So, you dirty, little DIY-ers, here's another question for you:
that has completely changed your life forever?
Or has just been really helpful and worth doing again?
And just for fun, I think I'll take a little poll. I've been wanting to do that for awhile now.
It'll be somewhere around here (not sure how to do it yet), so make sure you add your vote!
Can't wait to hear your two cents!

I'm takin tommorrow off!
It's been 10 straight days of tattooing and not a lot of breaks in between, I just got done with the photos and it's 2:21 am Monday as I type this. I'm exhausted and my entire week is completely full except for tommorrow so since I got some down time I think I'm gonna do some things for me. LIKE GET OUTSIDE! In the spirit of yesterday's work I wanted to do some more "franken-Jerry" , so Dillon was first to volunteer his shoulder and I gotta say I was extremely happy with it. We talked about women and how in the past we have both been burned, had our money stolen and all the bs horror stories that come with being with a crazy…Dillon is pretty cool so I told him I wanted to do something off the wall. He's a roomate of my friend Justin with the flying pig, so I joked that I would have them competing for the weirdest tattoo before this is all said and done. Knowing Dillon he would probably get a potato tramp stamp just to say he won, it's just who he is. The heart and revolvers was a nice start and until I finish with color or shading I'm not quite sure what to say other than I was extremely happy with the line work and the design…I think it will be a really nice piece in the end. I hope those of you who are following this enjoy the work I did today and tonight and I will hopefully be posting more tuesday…thanks for all the support everybody and goodnight.

It's always fun to see a fat guy scoring a touchdown. The spectacle of a non-skill position player rumbling and careening down the field is a spectacle in and of itself.
More from FoxSports
On Saturday, Kentucky defensive tackle Cory "Poop" Johnson followed suit with a score of his own against Tennessee. The 300-pound athlete out of South Carolina picked up a Josh Dobbs' fumble and scampered 77 yards for the first touchdown of the contest.
Johnson earned his nickname due to his liberal use of the bathroom. He points to this as a reason for why his weight has fluctuated so much in the past.
There's no word on whether Johnson was pooped at the end of the play.

I have nothing to blog about.
You see Chasing Lady Midnight is off to beta readers so I have nothing to write. Well except I am working on the concept of that last line in The Great Scarecrow Invasion, "What is a Woolly Weegie?" I can give a little background on that, but not much. Because you need to buy the book.
You see The Woolly Weegie itself is actually my Dad's spooky story, so in case you were planning on a sneaky internet search (I know that is what I would do) you won't find it. I sympathize as I know you all really want to know what a Woolly Weegie is, but that's a mystery, because…well you need to buy the book. So in the name of research, and because I didn't remember (yes I'm that old, we've covered this) I talked to my sisters and I found out that my Dad tended to change the story as he told it. Which means I have full liberty to tweak it.
Like I really wasn't going to do that.
Anyway, on the eye lid surgery front. I did get eye one done, as my surgeon only does one eye at a time. Eye number two is scheduled as eye number one turned out really well. NO! I am not showing pictures! Because I looked like I had a really strange make-up job. At least I know what to expect now, but with first surgery I was a little freaked I admit. Why? Because the way my surgeon does it, you're awake for most of the procedure.
It's not as bad as it sounds really, but it is October, the month to really creep people out.
You know if my life were more exciting I would have something to blog about and not bore you all so much.
On the family front, I have a nephew with a 10th birthday coming up. Now how did that happen? I swear the kid was just a baby last week. Which also means I'm 10 years older than when he was born. You know what? That stinks. That's what kids do, make you feel old. I know they're supposed to make you feel young, but that's propaganda. Just kidding, I love the kids in my family. But it is disconcerting to find that the people you used to be able to hold are now taller than you. Not the 10 year old, yet, but he's working on it.
Great, not only am I so boring that I have nothing to blog about, but I'm ancient as well. Life is so unfair.
Oh and after October comes November and December which means The Holiday Season is upon us. That means buttermilk fudge again, but now the people at my day job want me to make it for them too!
Man learn how to make a complicate, but delicious candy and everyone wants it. I still do not understand how I ended up being the only one in my family who knows how to make this stuff.
Why do I suspect that my Mother is laughing her head off in heaven right now? The woman always did have a weird sense humor, must be where I got it from.
Oh well I'll close up and just hope that next week I will have something to blog about.
Sorry I wasn't more interesting.

I have to disagree with the "plug people" Over the past 13 years I have had the pleasure of having 6 flats - all nails or screws. The first three times I tried plugs first. They always leaked because the sharp steel belt ends cut the plug material. Eventually I had them all patched from the inside with no problems. However I do know that the one store that patched my last tire put a plug in first, trimmed it on the inside and then patched it.

16 May, 2008 - Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh of India arrived in Paro at 11:30 am today on a two-day state visit during which he is expected to address the first joint session of the Bhutanese parliament tomorrow.
Lyonchhen Jigmi Y Thinley, flanked by several cabinet ministers and senior government officials, personally received Dr Manmohan Singh at the Paro International Airport.
Speaking to the Bhutanese and Indian media, Dr Manmohan Singh said that his visit assumes special significance as this is the year of His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck's coronation and the ushering in of Bhutan's democratically elected government.
"I have come with the message for the people and the government of Bhutan that India stands ready to join hands to strengthen our relationship, to do our best for accelerated development of Bhutan," said the prime minister. "This is a very exciting event. Bhutan has just witnessed elections, marvelous development, peaceful transition to a democratic monarchy. As a democracy, we cherish this moment and we will use our visit to strengthen in every possible way the close bonds of friendship that unites our two countries and our people."
Dr Manmohan Singh will receive an audience with His Majesty the King today and with His Majesty the fourth Druk Gyalpo tomorrow. He will dedicate the Tala hydroelectric project (THP) to the people of Bhutan and India and unveil a foundation stone for 1095 MW Punatsangchu-1 hydroelectric project (P-1HP), which is under construction.
There are 47 delegates accompanying the prime minister including the national security advisor, Mr M K Narayanan, his principal secretary, Mr T K Nair and foreign secretary, Mr Shivshankar Menon.
Dr Manmohan Singh is the fifth Indian prime minister to visit Bhutan.

Clothing Gets Smart/
It looks like a sweater. It feels like a sweater. It does not, however, act like a sweater. The Fallline jacket from clothing manufacturer Voormi may feel like a fleece, but it functions like a soft-shell that wicks away snow and wind. "From the beginning, what we said we wanted to do was figure out how to basically work from a natural fiber platform and start developing these unique constructions," says Timm Smith, the Colorado company's marketing director. Voormi isn't alone in its innovation. A handful of organizations are studying ways to blend technology and textiles to create apparel that can respond to outside weather conditions. At the University of California at San Diego, for instance, researchers are creating prototypes of clothing that would keep wearers' body temperature at a comfortable 93°. "HVAC uses 40% of energy consumption in buildings," says Renkun Chen, an associate professor in UC San Diego's Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. "If we can extend the set point of our thermostats, we can save energy. To do that, we need to have a garment to keep the wearers comfortable."

April 10, 2010 Texas Excursion
This is not a true pedal-paddle adventure because we have not included the Baby Bootie, and our primary goals this trip involve planning and staging for the upcoming Bird Olympics to be held at my sister's home in the Hill Country over Memorial Weekend. Bird Olympics is our style of family/friends reunion where we get together and compete (very friendly and casually) in various, usually unpracticed events. Past Bird Olympics have included sand castle contest in Cannon Beach OR (we won), white water canoe trip in AR, building and racing model boats, water balloon wars, cannonball contest, potato cannon accuracy, horseshoes, rubber duck floats-well, you get the idea. Of course, all of this is interspersed with eating, drinking, talking, laughing and general good spirits. Thankfully, my family likes each other!
Anyway, this year is the first Bird Olympics since 2002 so we're hoping to make it a memorable one indeed! Plus we have new family members to welcome: twin babies from Jeremiah (my nephew) and Linda; and Kiki, now wedded to Kat (my niece).
The seminal event this Olympics is cardboard boat building and racing down the Frio River (my sister's home sits on a high bank on the river-very nice). Since none of us have ever done this, we thought perhaps we should have a preliminary trial to assure some quantum of success come Memorial weekend. I figure if Patti and Jim, Matt and I can construct a successful boat, we can then assure that each team will have one member with some experience, thus leveling the playing field a bit. The cardboard was ordered on line and delivered, and we are on our way with tape and caulk on board.
We also have 2 wood forms for constructing concrete posts to mark the boundary of the Bird Sanctuary designated on Jim and Patti's property as a family ashes cemetery/repository. No need to expand on this theme further, but we are thinking of making the building and personalization of these forms as part of the Bird Olympics 2010 experience. The Bird Sanctuary already has a swift tower constructed, but it has not yet been discovered by the desired Chimney Swifts (hope springs eternal…). It's a "no duh" that we have a preponderance of bird themes.
Anyway back to the trip. It begins like most of our limited time excursions: we hit the road at 10am, after dropping the cats off at Cats Only "luxury lodging" in West Salem. This is our first time to leave our cats away from home but the accommodations look amazing, and the woman owner/manager is delightful; and I don't intend to worry about them while we're gone as I usually do.
We left Salem 10am, headed south. I personally don't consider myself on vacation until I have passed the Oregon-California border (unless we stop to see friends in Ashland-that's always a vacation). I have personal favorites of the trips south that are "can't miss" visual experiences: I-5 just past Sexton Summit when the first view of the Rogue Valley appears; Then, the landscape from the Siskiyous to Mt Shasta, CA is a fabulous variety of classic western mountain to the Klamath River valley (gold country!) to rolling pasture and meadows to towering volcanic mountain terrain. After Mt. Shasta, I-5 winds through Dunsmuir and on, snaking downward through narrowed horizons of pine covered mountainsides; curving left, then right, then left; on and on for miles until culminating in tantalizing glimpses of Lake Shasta and the flooded fingers of three rivers feeding the reservoir, begging for water-based explorations. After the reservoir, the landscape changes again to parkland meadows punctuated by oak groves preceding and surrounding Redding and on to Red Bluff. The majestic Sacramento River has its beginnings in this country and peek-a-boo visions of its tortuous youth wend under and adjacent to I-5 intermittently all the way to Sacramento where it is a dominant force of the landscape. After Sacramento, I marvel at the very distant mountain ridges on the horizon, first on the east side, then on the west side that parallel our route, with the opposite view flat to the horizon. The land initially is pasture in appearance but groves of citrus and then orchards of olives appear as we move ever southward. California has, indeed, transformed and subjugated its land into service for the maximum benefit of mankind. I become mesmerized by the mechanized fields, particularly the linear plantings that become evanescent fans sequentially and repetitively capturing my vision from my seat in the Ruby Slipper, until I feel I might become hypnotized. I choose to move to the back seat to nap.
Unfortunately or not, as it turns out, we became aware through NOAA that high winds were expected along our route across southern CA to Arizona. Matt had been driving, as usual, as he hates to be in a passive position (with rare exceptions) until we get almost to Barstow. He concedes that he is tiring but we should consider pushing through to Needles, CA. I volunteered to drive (it was 1am on 4/11, and we're just west of Barstow, CA). Much to my surprise, Matt takes me up on my offer. So I drink a 16oz cup of coffee in order to stay awake. 1.5 hours later, Matt says we can stop for the night as we have covered most of the Mojave desert and should be out of range of the windstorms predicted. I, of course, look at him as if he is out of his mind. Those of you who know me, know that I drink at most a single cup of green tea in the mornings as my only caffeine intake. I am now as buzzed as if I have taken speed and I am not psychologically able to shut down. Also, I have an IPOD full of music my 27 year old son has downloaded, and I am "in the groove". I told Matt (not too gently) to lay down and go to sleep, and I cruise through the rest of CA and into Arizona, listening to a combo of "golden oldies" and more progressive and new driving music. I didn't wake him until I became concerned that the road had been turning north for some time and I knew we were supposed to be heading east. By then dawn had arrived, and a sliver of the waning moon was hovering over the east horizon with Jupitor visible inferiorly. It was moving and beautiful and, to me , quite calming. Matt had a slightly differently affect. We stopped for breakfast and regrouped, and all was well. Matt regained the helm, and I slept in the back for a couple hours.

Stylemaker Q/A: Matt Jelinek
Frustrated about the lack of swimwear options in Madison? Matt Jelinek, swimwear manager at Middleton Sports & Fitness, is trying to change that. Starting this month he's revamping the store's swimwear department to not only carry popular swim brands Speedo and TYR, but more fashion forward looks from Gottex, Jantzen—even Dolce & Gabbana. Since they're known for carrying "sportier" swimsuits, I asked Jelinek about the planned changes, and how they'll market their "new" segment of fashion swimwear.
Q: When did you join Middleton Sports & Fitness? What had you been doing before and what attracted you to this job?
A: Prior to joining Middleton Sports in April of 2008 I was running my own company, which is a very part-time job that I continue to do. I also consult for a local publishing company as well as [work for] a property management company.
The opportunity was offered to me and the prospect of providing exceptional customer service and purchasing in the swim department while also facilitating new marketing and merchandising efforts with this locally owned company was very appealing. I've always been an advocate for small business and this was another way for me to become more involved with other local businesses.
Q: What do you do on a day-to-day basis? What are the responsibilities of your job?
A: Our customers come first—from our young customers who are on a swim team for the first time, to our in-store customers, to our customers from middletonfitness.com. Daily purchasing is also important to ensure that we have our most popular items and styles in stock and available, which includes special orders for customers. Oftentimes I travel to meet with our teams and large customers. Middleton Sports also has two traveling stores for our teams and customers as far away as Reedsburg, Milton, Johnson Creek and Iowa.
Q: You are introducing a new swimwear/cruisewear component to the swim department. Why did you decide to do this and what physical changes are you making to the store?
A: Middleton Sports has always been a leader in offering the widest variety of swimwear. With annual inventories of more than $250,000 in the springtime, we want to continue this tradition by offering an entirely new lifestyle feel to our customers. We will be changing the look in one section of our swim department to include different lighting and a more intimate feel to the store, which will include specialized training for our employees to ensure the best look and feel for customers.
The new component brings with it a potential to reach out to new customers while also providing customers with items that they would otherwise only be able to order online.
Q: What are you looking for in what you'll carry in this new section? What brands will you carry?
A: We're already working with some of the largest names in fashion swimwear including Gottex for women and Andrew Christian for men. We're still working on negotiating a purchasing agreement with Dolce & Gabbana and hope to be offering their 2009 line by early spring for both men and women.
Q: What do you think the Midwestern shopper is looking for in swimwear that's different from other parts of the country, and how is the store catering to that?
A: It's been my experience that Midwesterners are looking for something that is stylish, but more importantly, fits their personality and something in which they will feel comfortable in any setting. Anticipation of these needs is driving us to purchase suits in all sizes for all shapes. Whether our customers are looking to accentuate a certain aspect of their figure or to draw attention away from other areas (as one of my good friends says, "If you can't hide it, decorate it!"), we'll offer something for everyone heading either out of town or to our local beaches and pools—including kids. In other parts of the country these suits or replicas of them are easily found and sometimes sizes are available; sometimes they're not. But [these brands] are much easier to find. We intend to ensure the highest quality of swimwear to fit any individual's style and comfort while making sure we have their size available. Special orders cost nothing extra to our customers unless there's a rush. And if the suit doesn't fit, the customer doesn't pay.
Q: You also emphasized carrying suits that would appeal to the gay male. What are they looking for as swimwear consumers, and what brands will you carry?
A: Gay men are very particular about what they wear. They want to be fashionable trendsetters and are often early adopters to new styles in fashion. To this end, having the latest and greatest in what is being introduced to the market on the coasts and overseas is essential. We'll offer Andrew Christian, Jocko and Dolce & Gabbana.
Q: What pieces are you most excited about carrying?
A: Gottex has a phenomenal line of swimwear for 2009 that will be very appealing to a large portion of our current customer base as well as college students. I think that this line will bring about a change in how women feel about their bodies. Particularly because this trend-setting company offers larger sizes that are extremely fashionable and accentuate the most appealing shapes in all sizes of the female form.
For men, I'm really excited about the Andrew Christian and Jocko lines. Nike is offering some new sporty looks that are sure to please our more mature client base as well. And when we get Dolce & Gabbana in, I'm sure we're going to be quite busy.
Q: Any services or special offers you'll be offering to the swimwear customers?
A: We're going to start a mailing list for customers to receive coupons through email. Additionally, with the new lines, [we] will help customers get fitted properly and ensure that specific items are available to them when they are needed.
We plan to provide every customer with a very relaxed, comfortable shopping experience and are committed to helping customers to find something that they're proud to put on their bodies—something that makes them feel proud of their body, no matter their size or shape. Vacation is about being comfortable and that's what we aim to facilitate with what our customers wear.
Q: What is the price range of suits you'll have?
A: For women, we'll have separates and two-pieces starting from $39.95 up to more than $260 for separates and single-piece suits from Gottex.
For men, we'll have suits starting at $39.95 for Nike, Speedo and Andrew Christian up to $180 for Dolce & Gabbana, when that line comes in.
Q: When will you have everything in?
A: The changes to the swim department will occur throughout the month of November. We've already started receiving Nike, Speedo and TYR cruise/beach lines. Andrew Christian, Jocko, Gottex, Perry Ellis, Jag, Jantzen and the others should start arriving in the first few weeks of November. Dolce & Gabbana will be arriving around February. New arrivals for all of these manufacturers will come in during October and February annually after our launch in early December 2008.

Kaitlyn, this is my first Mother's day without you. It's been a month since you left, but it seems like two days ago and the hurt is still deep, raw and bleeding. If you were still here, you would probably not have been able to come home due to being in the middle of orientation and it took so long to get home, but you would have called, maybe sent me an Amazon gift card for my Kindle that I always loved. You knew I would spend it immediately on some of the books I had been dying to get. I've not read the first word from my kindle since you left, and I read it at least twice a day before. It is left in the middle of a ghost story I was reading. I would know on this day though, that you were thinking of me.
You always told me I was the best mother in the world, you sweet thing. I was not the domesticated, cookie baking, sewing, and all that kind of mother, but if being a good mother means loving your child more than life itself, and wanting the best for them, I was a good mother.
But Kaitlyn, I feel that I let you down as a mother. I was so busy thinking you were wonder child, then wonder girl, wonder teenager, then wonder woman, that I was too blind to see that there was even a possibility that below all that was a deep pervasive sadness. We never pressured you to succeed, but you always wanted to please us and knew that we were incredibly proud of your achievements. In your eyes, I feel that if you had admitted your deep sadness, that you would have thought that we would see that as weakness, a failure on your part. But Kaitlyn, we would not have, but how were you to know?
One time though, you did come to me when you were a little girl and said that everyone expected you to be the best at everything and that bothered you. I told you then that you don't ever have to try to be the best, just always do your best and that would always be good enough. You accepted that, seemingly well, and never acted as if that sort of thing bothered you again. So I thought all was well. I even asked you about that conversation many times over the years and you said it had always made you feel better. But it didn't, did it?
When you were not even one year old yet, once we were sitting in the lobby waiting for your sister Stephanie to finish up her dancing class. A friend of mine came up to me and said, "Rhonda, did you know that one of her eyes turns in?" I looked at you and I didn't see it. Then as I paid more attention to you, I realized it did. We took you to an ophthalmologist and you had to start wearing glasses then so your eye would not turn in. You wore these until you were old enough to wear contacts. So see Kaitlyn, I never recognized if there was anything wrong with you, even then.
Having depression myself, and your witnessing my depression from the time you were 9 years old off and on all these years, I should have known there may be some predisposition for one of my children having it themselves. But no, not you. To me, you had the world by the tail and you were going to succeed on your terms and you were not the overly sensitive person I was that let the world get her down in all of its sadness. Not you. You were so strong, so smart, so incredibly talented and wise; never did I dream that you could be this sad. I was too busy seeing you as perfect, and what pressure that must have put on you. I say I never put pressure on you to succeed, but I did and I didn't even know it by just expecting it from you, and for that Kaitlyn, I am deeply sorry. I failed you. I have immense guilt. I will never forgive myself for that.
You were my baby, my youngest, and the last one to leave the nest. It's hardest when your last one flies away from the nest. I remember when we took you to Campbell to move you into your dorm on your first day of college. We got you settled; I fought back the tears knowing how lonely I would be without the daughter I was so close to. You would not be home every night and I would no longer know what you were doing all the time. But though I felt this, I always knew and wanted you to fly away and continue to be the great person you were destined to be and I never dreamed of holding you back.
I remember we settled you in, and you walked us back to the car before we left, and we hugged you a million times in the dorm and a million times at the car. When our goodbyes were said, we watched you turn around to make the long walk up the grassy hill back to your dorm. I watched you the whole way, hoping that you would turn back one more time, just one more glance. But you never, not once turned back. You never ever turned back once you were going forward Kaitlyn. And even the last deed you did in your life, you never turned back. I wish you would have.
I love you Kaitlyn, your Momma.

Due to the weather i decided to hold off going for the kingfisher as the light was poor in the morning. But once it got to around 10am, the light levels started to increase so off I went and managed to get the shot shown. I have also put in a new kingfisher post so hope to get some shots on this soon. COMING UP : Goshawk - Harvest Mice so please come back to see these images.

Sorry for the lack of posts, after removing all the past posts I am going to try and keep this as up to date as possible. After getting some great images of the kingfisher, I have decided to go back and have another crack at it with my pop up hide away from the Jo-public. So early set off tomorrow to get plonked at the side of the river in hope to capture it once again. I am hoping for some good weather but would be a good image if I could get a shot in a downpour. Come back in a few days to see if i managed to get the shots.

Its the time of year when you cannot tell if the weather forcast is correct, nor if you go out will you get wet. Sunday the forcast was ok , so I trotted off down to the local nature reserve. I was able to capture this kingfisher, and not only did I get to photograph it i stood and watched it for 3 hours back and forth fishing etc. I will be heading of there on thursday to give this another go, but may not be so lucky this time. On both these images iIjust love the colours and the small in the frame kingfisher really sets them off with the berrys as well just makes these that extra special.
