Kongo just finished a week aboard the Celebrity Cruise ship Xpedition for a trip to the Galapagos. This is a review of that trip and he's writing it before the memories fade. If the Galapagos is on your bucket list I hope you read the review. Please feel free to ask any questions in the comment section.
The Expedition is the smallest ship in the Celebrity fleet and carries up to 98 passengers. The crew size is 70. The week-long cruise visits several islands and the various itineraries available can be found at the Celebrity website. There are several ships that host expeditions around the Galapagos and they range from smaller boats that carry 8 or more passengers up to the Xpedition, which is presently the largest and arguably the most luxurious. National Geographic offers 10 day cruises but frankly, after seven days you will have seen all the iguanas, boobies, sea turtles, tortoises, and so forth and once you've seen one marine iguana you've pretty much seen them all. Kongo's cabin for two on Deck 4 cost just under $10,000 and did not include airfare to and from Quito from the United States (or other point of origin). It did include airfare between the mainland and the islands.
The only way you can go ashore on the Galapagos Islands is to go by 'panga" a zodiac craft that carries about 16 passengers. No matter what cruise you choose you're going to the same places ashore and using the same type of transportation to get back and forth to the ship. You also must have a certified guide that accompanies you at all times.
The Celebrity Xpedition has two different itineraries: The inner loop and outer loop. Kongo went on the outer loop and a map of the journey from the Celebrity website is shown below.
Everybody starts out on the island of Baltra which has the only airport on the islands. From there you board your boat and head out. At the end of your cruise you return to Baltra and fly back to the mainland. With Celebrity, you fly to and from Quito, Ecuador.
Aboard the Celebrity Xpedition everything is included and everything includes airfare to and from Quito, hotel stays in Quito and the start and end of the trip, all drinks, all meals, all gratuities, and all shore excursions. Meals in Quito are included as well aa a tour of Quito city. It is nice not to have a bar bill at the end of the cruise or to figure out gratuities for each of the staff that helps you out along the way.
Celebrity does an excellent job taking care of all the little details. You are met when you clear customs at Quito airport, your luggage is collected, and the next time you see it is when it appears at your hotel room at the J.W. Marriott an hour away in downtown Quito.
When you arrive at the hotel your key is waiting for you and it is a very nice hotel. It was great to get high speed internet after a week trekking about Machu Picchu and Cusco. There is a good city tour of Ecuador's capital, a trip to the equator monument, and a dinner out at a very nice restaurant near the hotel. Breakfast meals at the hotel are included.
When you depart for the island, your bags are collected the night before and you are taken to the airport in the morning, guided through customs, and then board Celebrity's own airplane operated by AerGalo for a two-hour flight from Quito to Baltra. After clearing customs in the Galapagos, you have a brief welcome drink in the Celebrity lounge at the airport then board a bus for a very short ride to the dock where you board your zodiac for transport to the ship which is anchored in Baltra harbor. You will begin seeing your first sea lions and sea birds on the dock.
Aboard the ship you a warmly welcomed, escorted to your cabin, and your luggage is deposited at your room a few minutes later.
When leaving the ship it's pretty much the reverse order of this. Celebrity has all the details of moving you and your luggage back and forth seamlessly. When its finally time to leave Ecuador, a bus is waiting to take you back to the airport.
The only real downside in all this is that the new Quito airport is an hour outside the city and the roads and infrastructure aren't ready to quickly move you back and forth. There's no getting around it and an hour bus ride if you land late at night (Kongo arrived at midnight) is a long trip. That's not Celebrity's fault, of course, it's just part of the travel you have to endure to get to the islands.
Shore Excursions
There are at least two shore excursions a day at different spots on the various islands. Snorkeling, both off the beach and in deep water, are frequent options. Kongo didn't go snorkeling this trip but the ship provides guides, gear, and wet suits for those who wish to go in the water. As with everything on Xpedition, this is included in the price.
Shore excursions are via 16-person zodiacs. You board these from the aft end of the ship and depending upon the location you will either have a "dry" or "wet" landing. A dry landing enables you to step directly from the zodiac to rocks while wet landings require you to jump into the water and wade ashore. In the image below, the zodiac is coming in for a wet landing.
The trips are all led by a certified Galapagos guide. Everyone must stay together and straying from the trail is strictly prohibited. Also, don't even think about leaving behind any litter. Smoking is not allowed on the excursions.
The excursions vary from easy walks along the beach or rather strenuous treks across lava fields or along trails where you hop from one boulder to another.
Each land excursion is about 2 to 2 1/2 hours long but keep in mind that there are no restroom facilities on any of the trips so plan your meals and liquid intake accordingly. There's also no kiosks, shopping, water stops, trash cans, or anything else. It's all exactly as it was thousands of years ago.
The guides on the excursions are excellent. All Xpedition guides are Level 4 certified (the highest level), are university educated, speak excellent English, and are passionate naturalists.
The Ship
The Xpedition was built in Germany in 2004. It has passenger accommodations for 98 explorers as well as 70 crew. While compact, the ship has plenty of space for eating, drinking, lounging about on deck, or sleeping in your cabin. Kongo's cabin on Deck 4 was small but adequate with two closets, an ensuite bath with shower, a desk, and small couch. The cabin was configured for two twin beds but this could be rearranged to put the beds together. Large suitcases stow handily under the bunks to allow for more storage area. Kongo's cabin had a large window but no balcony.
There is a flat screen television in the cabin with a movie channel and information about the Galapagos. There is also a single 120 VAC and 220 VAC outlet so bring a small power strip if you have lots of things to charge.
Meals and Drinks
Kongo rates the meals aboard Xpedition good but not excellent. Breakfasts were outstanding, lunches were hit or miss and dinners were either excellent or just okay. For lunch you have a choice between eating a buffet lunch in the main dining room or going for a burger, grilled fish, or a hot dog on the main deck.
The drinks were good and the bar well stocked. Since this cruise is all inclusive there is no worry about bar tabs so feel free to buy all your new best friends a round!
There had been an outbreak of the norovirus the week before so the crew was especially cautious. Everyone had to get hand sanitizer every time they came back to the ship and before every meal. Breakfast and lunch are served buffet style and the crew does the serving. Keep your hands away from the food! The extra precautions worked because nobody got sick on this cruise.
Shipboard Activities
There's an onboard spa that Mrs. Kongo claims is great. There is also a small gym for those that don't feel they got enough exercise on the shore excursions. Every evening before dinner there were briefings about the next day's activities and after dinner there was entertainment that ranged from talent shows to karaoke to a crossing the equator ceremony. Most people were pretty worn out at the end of a full day and were in bed before 10 PM.
Passenger Demographics
The passengers aboard Xpedition were mostly American and Canadian with a dozen or so from the UK. Ages ranged from early 40s to a couple in their mid 80s. Kongo guesses that the average age is between late 50s and mid-60s. This is not a cruise you want to take your young children on. Not only will they be severely challenged by the shore excursions, the other passengers will not appreciate the little darlings running about underfoot. Wait till they're really old enough to appreciate the experience and can carry their own bags.
The passengers are mostly couples but there are a lot of single women traveling together. If you're a single male monkey looking for adventure and the possibility of meeting someone this cruise may be for you.
Many passengers were in groups. Kongo's group, for example, was a loose collection of 40 that use the same travel agent and have often travelled together in the past. This group is not particularly good friends, although there are good friends within the group. it's just a group of generally compatible folks who love their travel agent, Betty.
Casual is the word of the day in the Galapagos. That means T-shirts, sandals, shorts, light clothing, sunglasses and hats with big brims. This is the equator after all and formal wear isn't appropriate. Some of the women wore long light tropical wraps in the evening and most men wore long pants and a collared shirt to dinner but just about anything except a wet bathing suit is fine in the dining room after the sun goes down.
Even though this is a cruise, forget about dressing up for Captain's table dinners and elegant cocktail parties under the sunset.
Most people pack too much. Not Mrs. Kongo, however. She claims that she wore each of the five different pair of shoes she brought along as well as the ever changing fashionable combinations of tops, capris, slacks, and so forth. There is a laundry aboard the ship and prices are cheap.
Women probably don't need all the usual tonnage of hair and cosmetic products they often lug along on overseas journeys. After all, as good friend Carol who lives in Myrtle Beach once said, "Men don't see so good up close after 50."
You do need at least two pairs of shoes. One for the dry landings and one for the wet. dry landing shoes should be sturdy hikers that provide plenty of ankle support for traversing rocks and lava beds. Wet landing shoes should be something that dries quickly and is still easy to walk in. Water shoes (Kongo wore a pair made by Aviva) with socks to keep the sand and rocks out are good. Keen brand sandals are a good choice.
What else to bring
Be sure to pack plenty of sunblock and insect repellant. If your back is prone to aching after carrying about backpacks and scampering in and out of zodiacs then an extra bottle of your favorite pain killer is a wise choice. Kongo never leaves home without a supply of anti-diaherral medicine. Aloe based body lotions are good for slathering on after a day in the sun.
The Galapagos is a photography paradise. You will regret not having your best camera with you but think twice about carrying your entire lens package. Kongo brought his Canon 7D, a 24-105 EF-L lens for wider angle shots, and a 70-200 EF-L lens for getting closer to the action. Mostly he used the 70-200 ashore and the 25-105 aboard the ship.
Kongo brought a tripod but never used it. When you're moving with your group ashore you simply do not have time to set up and adjust a tripod and here's a news flash for you: ships move so a tripod on the deck of a ship is not going to work for that awesome sunrise photo you want to take home with you.
Morning excursions are often going to be in harsh sunlight so bring along polarizing filter and think carefully about your settings. Kongo shot a lot in Av mode and set his exposure about 2/3 of a stop below ideal to avoid washing out everything. Afternoon excursions that end up about 5:30 or 6 usually have plenty of great light.
Kongo shot over 1000 images a day on most days. That seems like an awful lot but you can't just take one picture of a nesting albatross up close. He also shot a lot in high speed mode, especially when trying to capture birds in flight or when trying to anticipate exactly when that green sea turtle was going to poke his head above water. Needless to say, this means you need some hefty memory cards (Kongo used 64GB CF cards and always shoots in RAW mode), particularly if you're shooting video as well as stills. Kongo took along at least two batteries all the time and kept them charged up every night.
Be sure to pack some great big plastic bags in your backpack along with a rain poncho in case you get caught by the frequent showers that move across the islands.
Should you go?
If the Galapagos is on your bucket list go sooner rather than later. It's not cheap but go when you still have the health and the mobility to get around and appreciate it. Several passengers simply were not up to going ashore every day and making the walks and had to content themselves with watching the islands from ashore. While this is nice, it is nothing compared to getting up close to the animals.
If you're in reasonable health, can walk two or three miles on a moderately difficult trail, and can stay in the sun for a few hours at a time with a floppy hat and sunblock you should be able to handle the islands.
While you don't need to be an acrobat to transition to and from the zodiacs, you do need to have reasonable balance and dexterity. You will get a lot of help on and off from the guides but a sense of balance is pretty important here.
Overall rating.
Five bananas!

Our democracy's history is littered with names we neither remember nor celebrate — people who stood in the way of progress while protecting the powerful. On Wednesday, a number of senators voted to join that list.
Tag: legislation
They looked at these most benign and practical of solutions, offered by moderates from each party, and then they looked over their shoulder at the powerful, shadowy gun lobby — and brought shame on themselves and our government itself by choosing to do nothing.
I'm asking citizens to go to their offices and say: You've disappointed me, and there will be consequences.
Speaking is physically difficult for me. But my feelings are clear: I'm furious. I will not rest until we have righted the wrong these senators have done, and until we have changed our laws so we can look parents in the face and say: We are trying to keep your children safe.
Shame on them.
These senators have heard from their constituents — who polls show overwhelmingly favored expanding background checks. And still these senators decided to do nothing. Shame on them.

A necklift can eliminate loose, sagging skin to give you a more youthful appearance. Having a necklift could boost your self esteem and allow you to dress as you like, without feeling the need to hide behind scarves or high necklines.
Necklift surgery can help if you have excess skin around your neck and jaw. Loose skin in this area is often related to the loss of elasticity that happens in our skin as we age. It can also appear after substantial weight loss. The surgery can remove this skin, leaving you with a smoother, tauter neck and more defined jaw. If you have prominent neck bands, they can also be tightened during the operation.
The surgery is often performed on its own as the neck can be the first area to show the signs of ageing. However, it can also be combined with a facelift if you have loose skin elsewhere too. Harley Street Surgery can help you to decide which option is right for you.
Necklift surgery usually requires a general anaesthetic, so you will be asleep during the operation. The surgeon will make an incision behind or in front of your ears. Additional incisions may need to be made under your chin, depending on the purpose of the procedure. The excess skin will be removed and the remaining skin lifted and stitched into place. The doctor may also remove some excess fat with liposuction or tighten the platysmal muscles. The whole procedure should take between two and three hours.
After the surgery, you should expect to have some bruising and swelling around your neck, but you will be given compression bandages to wear to reduce this. The skin on your neck may also feel tight for a while. You should be aware that there is a small risk of complications such as infection or an allergic reaction to the anaesthetic, but these are rare. Most people will be fully recovered in about two weeks.
If you're unhappy with the appearance of your neck, arrange a consultation with Harley Street Surgery in London to find out if a neck lift is right for you.

By Elizabeth Jobe, DVM, CCRP, cVMA
Therapeutic exercise is a physical therapy intervention encompassing a broad range of activities designed to restore or improve musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary and/or neurologic function. Some form of therapeutic exercise is indicated in every physical therapy case.
The goals of therapeutic exercises are to improve active pain-free range of motion and limb use, improve muscle strength and muscle mass, improve daily function and quality of life, and to help prevent further injury. With these goals in mind, the rehabilitation professional must use specialized knowledge to determine exercises that are appropriate for a patient's level of ability, age, endurance, severity of injury, and stage of recovery.
There are numerous benefits of incorporating therapeutic exercises into a rehabilitation program. They are a non-invasive form of therapy, facilitate an increased rate of recovery from injury, improve quality of movement of limbs, and have a positive psychological effect for both the owner and pet. Not only do therapeutic exercises enhance performance and endurance in our pets needing physical therapy, but this benefit is also important for sporting and agility dogs that need core-conditioning and want to enhance their performance level.
Similar to people that go to the gym regularly for these benefits, it is important to vary the routine for our patients as well. Animals get bored doing the same exercises repeatedly, so creativity is an important aspect of rehabilitation for animals. At PAWS Veterinary Center, we try a number of different activities to determine what works best for an individual in order to modify the treatment plan. It is also important to allow the patient to guide the increase in activity. While many of these exercises can be performed at home, they are best guided by the rehabilitation practitioner so that the progression of therapy is carefully monitored and assessed.
The intensity and difficulty of the exercises varies greatly depending on the individual's condition and injury. With patients that have recently had spinal surgery for example, our initial exercises are simply targeted at getting them standing on their own. We facilitate this utilizing a number of our physioballs, the land treadmill with sling assistance, and nerve-stimulating balancing exercises. For patients that are in the final stages of recovery from knee surgery or limb injury, they will perform exercises such as carrying weighted vests, perform dancing and wheel barrowing exercises, and climb stairs with resistance bands between their feet. Different exercises target specific muscle groups and range of motion in certain joints, so the exercise plan is continually evolving based on the patient's needs. Come visit us for a free tour of our rehabilitation area!

Reviewing launch games is a strange situation. You%26rsquo;re playing one of the first games on a new system, so a standard hasn%26rsquo;t really been set yet on just what the new hardware can do. Plus the assortment of launch games can be so small that a game no one would care about six months from now could be considered a success. Regardless, if you%26rsquo;re going to test the waters of a new piece of tech, you could do worse than the rather experimental submarine exploration gameSteel Diver, but it shouldn%26rsquo;t be the first title you buy.
First shown to gamers years ago as a DS demo, Steel Diver has been reworked for 3DS. The story is practically non-existent: You control subs that plumb the depths in search of enemy ships to destroy. You%26rsquo;re given three different subs to choose from on each mission - the small but dexterous Manatee, the more powerful but unwieldy Serpent, and the midsize, all-around sub Blue Shark. There%26rsquo;s no more personality than that, aside from unlockable decals to put on the ships.
Predictably, Steel Diver is at its best when you take a sub underwater, even if its unconventional control scheme takes some getting used to. Instead of using the system%26rsquo;s nice, new analog stick, virtually everything happens on the touchscreen. You adjust the sub%26rsquo;s speed, direction, and whether it dives or surfaces using one of two sliders on the lower display. You initially yearn for direct control, and it%26rsquo;s frustrating when the sub just won%26rsquo;t do what you want fast enough, but we warmed to the novel approach after the first couple missions.
Once we stopped treating it like the game we thought it would be and gave in to the deliberate, at times glacial pace, we began to enjoy planning when and how to move our sub in anticipation of what the map had in store. You%26rsquo;re continually switching your view from top to bottom screen, adjusting for what the SONAR says and what enemies or obstacles you can only see in front of the ship. Unfortunately, that can get to be a real tough proposition in situations where you have to move up a steep incline, avoid falling rocks and then elude missiles from a hostile sub.
The combat was more annoying than the at times touchy undersea traversal. You have unlimited missiles to fire, but they take time to reload, and if you were off in your first shot, making small adjustments in the angle of your boat and firing again can be trying. Several times we just ran from the stationary adversaries instead of fighting them, and the biggest irritation was facing enemies on the surface. Usually those much bigger boats rained down harsher attacks, and if you weren%26rsquo;t in the tiny Manatee, angling your attacks while simultaneously hearing the klaxon sound-off when hit wasn%26rsquo;t particularly fun.
When you get down to it, Steel Diver is a racing game in a lot of ways, just a really slow one. The constant push to get your sub to the end of the map is entertaining and keeps your eyes glued to the screen. But once you%26rsquo;ve at last barreled through all the maps, SD%26rsquo;s biggest failing is clear: a shortage of content.
The Campaign mode starts you with five maps, each of which will take between 10 and 30 minutes to complete. If you can beat those five with all three sub types, you unlock two more maps, and if you beat those you unlock tougher versions of the previous areas. Having only seven maps is a real letdown, and the subs aren%26rsquo;t diverse enough to make that many multiple playthroughs particularly worthwhile.
Another failing is that the standard gameplay is on a two dimensional plane, seemingly defeating the whole gimmick of the system. Granted there%26rsquo;s occasionally stuff in the background that might look more interesting with the 3D turned up, but it%26rsquo;s easy to tell this game was first designed for the DS. We ended up playing the majority of it in 2D.
The 3D does come into play in Periscope Strike mode, which appears after each map%26rsquo;s completion and is its own separate feature. In Periscope Strike the sub stands still, you just rotate the view to spot enemy ships and blast torpedoes at them. Not only does it use the 3D, but the mode also takes advantage of the built-in motion controls, making you physically turn the system to change the periscope%26rsquo;s view. It was a cute aside, but it%26rsquo;s an arcade-style throwaway in the grand scheme of things, as was the two player, turn-based experience Steel Command.
Ultimately that%26rsquo;s the biggest problem with Steel Diver: there%26rsquo;s just not enough to do, at least not for the price. We appreciate that Nintendo did something different here, and a system%26rsquo;s launch is a great time to be more experimental, but if we%26rsquo;re going to pay $39.99 for a new 3DS game, we%26rsquo;re going to need more than this. If the price was slashed, or if you%26rsquo;re bored of the bigger and better 3DS starters, you could do worse than Steel Diver, but it%26rsquo;s far from a killer app.

Washington, DC's community of animal scientists and agriculture regulators is buzzing about something Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) president Wayne Pacelle told Congress last week, and the discussion isn't helping HSUS's credibility. During his testimony in a contentious hearing on animal welfare, Pacelle made the startling statement that pigs can get mad cow disease. Most observers understand that part of HSUS's vegetarian-only dietary agenda involves scaring people away from bacon and barbecue. And so far, the scientific evidence for claims of "mad pigs" doesn't look good.
In his testimony, Pacelle wrote that "scientific studies have pointed to the possibility that pigs, whose diet can include ground-up cattle remains, may harbor a porcine [pig-related] form of mad cow disease." The pork industry fired back, saying that "Pacelle either misled Congress, or he's ignorant of the facts."
Pacelle returned serve two days ago with a scathing Internet article defending his original statement. "British government researchers," he wrote, "proved that pigs are indeed susceptible to infection with [mad cow disease] in research published in 1990 in The Veterinary Record, the official scientific journal of the British Veterinary Association." A footnote points to the seventeen-year-old study by UK scientists Michael Dawson, Gerald Wells, and others.
Enter Richard Lobb, the communications director at the National Chicken Council. It's not necessarily his job to promote pork, but he knows a red herring when he sees one. Yesterday, on an Internet mailing list hosted by a U.S. Department of Agriculture manager, Lobb delivered a death blow to Pacelle's mad-pig hypothesis:
A minute's research on Google Scholar will reveal a published study by Wells, et al. — the very researcher cited by Pacelle — concluding that BSE [mad cow disease] is not transmitted to pigs, either. This study, "Studies of the transmissibility of the agent of bovine spongiform encephalopathy to pigs," was published in the Journal of General Virology in 2003.
Guess what? Lobb is right. In 2003, thirteen years after they first speculated that mad cow disease might affect pigs, Drs. Wells, Dawson, and seven other scientists updated their findings. (If Pacelle had updated his, he might not have misled Congress.) Instead of injecting diseased materials into the pigs' brains — not exactly a real-world test — they gave the animals infected feed similar to what can transmit the disease from one cow to another.
Wells and his team found "no evidence of transmission" of mad cow disease to pigs after they were exposed to massive doses of infected material in their food. (Note to HSUS: Click here to download the full study.) This result, the researchers added, probably explains "why repeated primary exposures of commercial pigs to BSE, together with the considerable potential for pig-to-pig recycling of infection (until April 1996), has not resulted in natural cases [of mad cow-like diseases] in pigs."
As we've seen many times before, phony claims about science tend to be outed by scientists. And in some cases, a minute's research on the Internet may be enough to keep even the most opportunistic animal-rights activists honest. Just maybe.

The article presents the author's comments on why leaders have difficulty cutting their losses, and how this mistake can be extremely costly, particularly in a volatile environment. He states that persistence can be a valuable leadership quality, perhaps even more so in a volatile environment. The author discusses strategies including the launch of a pre-emptive conversation, creation of constructive tension, and defining opportunity costs.

Multiscale HCC
Systems Biology Supports Multiscale Analysis of Imaging, Omics and Clinical Data to Improve Diagnosis and Therapy of HCCs
We will develop models which will predict and mirror tumor development of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) under antiangiogenic therapies, specifically Sorafenib and after transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE). Using our existing base of multifunctional imaging data and pre-existing simulation framework we will reveal functional factors of anti-angiogenic drugs and TACE treatments on the vascular system and tumor cells.
Model-based predictions will be correlated with clinical data from the same patient which subsequently validates and refines our models. The validated and improved mathematical model will then be applied to analyse and optimize different administration schedules for combination therapies. Existing data will be supplemented by multiparametric imaging, metabolomics, transcriptomics, genomics, pathology and clinical data of genetically engineered mouse models as well as by an observational clinical study in HCC patients. Volume perfusion CT and combined PET/MR will reveal complementary functional-molecular parameters of the disease and treatment effects, leading to an image fingerprint of investigated tumors. Network models on the molecular scale will be coupled to spatially resolved tissue models, resulting in a multi-scale description of HCC.
These models will be developed, calibrated, and validated against imaging data and omics data, expanding the usual scope of systems biology. Predictions made by the model will be validated in mouse models. Non-invasive clinical imaging will thus be directly coupled to molecular mechanistic data and answer the question, which type of data will be most effective for selecting optimal therapies. The consortium is an interdisciplinary group of the Universities Tübingen and Stuttgart and our SME Chimaera, covering all required areas of clinical disciplines, advanced mouse models, multimodal imaging, image analysis, data mining, omics data analysis, modeling and bioinformatics.
Subprojects in Multiscale HCC:
SP 1 Image-guided multiscale modeling of vascular tumor growth as a systems biology-based tool to predict therapeutic outcome in HCC
SP 2 In vivo imaging and molecular profiling of treatment responses to anti-angiogenic therapies in murine liver carcinomas of defined genetic origin
SP 3 Data management and Multiscale Computational Modeling
SP 4 Image analysis and mining for the development of predictive and prognostic models for HCC diagnosis and therapy response
SP 5 Interventional clinical trial to test 3D-multiscale HCC model derived decisions in human patients with HCC

Eduard 1/35 M2 Half Track Engine Detail Set First Look
By Michael Benolkin
|Date of Review
|January 2008
|M2 Half Track Engine Detail Set
|Kit Number
|Engine compartment detail set for the excellent DML 1/35 M2 and M2A1 halftracks
|Skill Level
First Look
Eduard from the Czech Republic is easily the most prolific producer of aftermarket details. Period. Their series of photo-etched detail sets have brought additional fidelity to otherwise bland subjects, and have taken even the best-produced models and kicked them up a notch or two with details that cannot be producedwith injection-molded plastic.
When Eduard first introduced the acetate-printed instrument faces that go behind their photo-etched instrument panels, this raised the bar on model cockpit reality as you could almost read the time on the aircraft clock. How could they top that?
Well in this set, they've used the relief-etching process to great advantage. In this set, we have a rather straightforward detail set for DML's 1/35 M2 Halftrack or M2A1 Half Track kits. For those who've peeked in the box, you've seen that the kit replicates a not-bad engine compartment with photo-etched armored shutters for the radiator.
This set replaces the kit hood (styrene) with a more-scale-thickness metal hood that can be posed open or closed, but if open, itfolds realistically up and over the top.
The set also provides a detailed radiator face and improved armored shutters for the front end of the vehicle. The engine cooling fan gets new facades to provide more accurate visual detail.
The White engine receives an ignition harness, mounting brackets for the generator, and even parts to replicate the distributor. Even the oil-bath air cleaner receives a treatment of mounting brackets and clamps.
The instructions clearly show you how and where everything goes together. Plan on taking your time and plan on taking some time to get all of this together as this is not a project for an evening or a weekend (unless you're really experiencedand have the right tools).
When you're done however, your halftrack will look great under that hood, and you can display that hood open realistically. This set is definitely recommended for the experienced modeler!
My sincere thanks to Eduard for this review sample!

four consecutive days of rain kept me away from the garden until today. nobody was there but me, trampling through the undergrowth in my bagged aircast, pulling a length of rubber hose until it reached my garden. a hot day, i saw the black dirt steaming again after i watered, so i sprayed a second time just to cool things off.
the chicken wire is getting awfully crowded now, but still no cypress vine flowers yet. i did spot a spent wild morning glory bud, and an unopened nasturtium flower.
i have some early vegetables but most of them are either crooked or rotten. kinked cucumbers, bent salsa peppers, and a moldy green tomato. had to remove the tomato, no point leaving it on the vine to ripen only to throw it away later. i'm not discouraged though: i'm sure in a few weeks i'm going to look back on all these failures and laugh as i roll around in prettier vegetables.
the zinnias in my garden neighbor's raised bed are amazing. i have two of my own but they've yet to bloom (or even produce flower buds at this point). zinnias come in all sorts of colors and they attract all kinds of flying insects. if only they were fragrant, they'd be the perfect flowers.
i bumped into ed on my way home. he was putting barbed wire stickers on his bicycle. "that looks good, huh?" he said. i told him about my own bicycle, how my previous roommate latched the kryptonite lock onto the frame then lost the key. he gave me some suggestions on how to break off the lock. just then one of his tenants showed up, a professional bicycle racer no less, dressed in his racing outfit. he was returning from a short ride with his friend, woburn and back, just a meager 36 miles. "you could try some freon, then hammer the lock," he added.
i went over to my parents for dinner. my mother was in the backyard with hailey, doing some weeding. i noticed the carpet of garlic mustard along the perimeter of the yard, an invasive plant. later it was my father in the backyard, mowing the lawn, while my mother went back inside to watch some korean soap opera over the internet. the lawn is so weedy at this point that it'd be a lot easier just reseeding the whole plot, but with a dog in the house, that'll never happen. my sister took hailey out to a dog park. when she got back it was time for dinner (noodles).
when i got back home my new 500gb hard drive was waiting for me in a box on my doorstep. it's an IDE drive, which is the kind my old computers use, but i see the writing on the wall, and nowadays all large drives are SATA, so big IDE's are getting harder to come by (and a bit more expensive as well). i fitted the drive into an external enclosure, formatted it for MS-DOS, and then initiated a firewire-to-firewire transfer of 400gb worth of photos to backup. estimated time of completion: 10 hours.
swingtown moves to friday nights now. hope the new time slot doesn't hurt its ratings. it's a great show and deserves to be watched by more people! tonight's episode featured scavenger hunt, adult magazines, girl-next-door crush, neighborhood cougar, hot for teacher, suspected husband stealing, and smooching with a coworker.

In between climbing pagodas and snapping pictures of golden goddesses, most travelers to Asia take time to visit the shopping districts. The quality and selection of designer clothing and extravagant items found in shops across Asia will not disappoint those with a penchant for luxury goods. From China to India, great buys are available for those who know what to look for.
Mainland China is a fantastic place to find extravagant jewelry at discount prices. Jewelry markets are filled with glittering gems and beautiful jade pieces abound.
Exquisite strands of high quality, lustrous pearls are easy to find in China. When purchasing jewelry in mainland China, feel free to bargain. It's the way business is done in China, and most owners of small shops expect it.
There have been cases of shopkeepers taking advantage of tourists, and the best defense is knowledge. If buying pearls, test them against your teeth for roughness. You might want to test both a real pearl and faux pearl in advance to make sure you can recognize the difference. For gems, consider purchasing a jeweler's loupe and learning to use it. Be especially careful when buying jade, since it can be difficult to tell true jade from false.
Silk is also a good buy in China. Stores that sell lengths of fabric and silk garments are abundant, and some shops will make a shirt or dress from the silk fabric of your choosing.
Because there is no sales tax in Hong Kong and imported goods are not taxed, designer clothing can be purchased there for excellent prices. Bargains can be found on cameras and electronics, but make sure you know the going prices for these items so you'll be able to spot a good deal. Hong Kong is also an excellent place to buy watches and jewelry.
Thailand is another great source for jewelry. Unfortunately, dishonest jewelry dealers are plentiful. Never follow any "helpful" individual who offers to lead you to a jewelry store with incredible bargains – it's probably a scam. To avoid being cheated it's best to deal with a respectable jewelry firm, preferably one that is a member of the Jewel Fest Club. The Tourism Authority of Thailand founded this reputable organization, and member stores are listed in a booklet and display the Jewel Fest Club logo.
In India you can find many items made from the amazing textiles created in the country. Clothing, tablecloths, towels and other household goods are good buys here.
Jewelry is also a good buy in India, but again, beware of fakes and frauds.

The swamp does not wish to be drained. It actively resists being drained. It will not go down without a fight–an ugly, drawn-out fight.
Remember last week when Trump issued an executive order to end the use of "critical race theory" in government employee training programs? Well, the CDC saw that executive order and said, "Nah, we're good. #OrangeManBad."
This is from Christopher Rufo, the guy who (most likely) brought the issue of critical race theory to Trump's attention when he went on Tucker Carlson's show:
People who are upset by Trump not living up to all of his promises from the 2016 campaign: are you at least willing to admit it might not be as simple as "Trump betrayed us"?
The man is facing widespread and blatant insubordination and disobedience in the ranks. He has been for the past four years. He's going against most of Congress, as well as most of the executive branch–in addition to the media and the entertainment industry.
He issued his critical race theory executive order, and an agency in the executive branch basically said, "Nah, screw that. We're gonna still teach our employees to hate white people."
Anyone who thought the war was won on November 8, 2016 was delusional. Trump winning the election was the start of the war against the Beltway Swamp. It remains ongoing and will continue for a long, long time.
The corruption runs deep in Washington. Very deep.
Now, luckily Rufo stayed vigilant and brought this to the attention of OMB Director Russ Vought who promptly shut down all the CDC's skullduggery:
But don't think this will make the Swamp give up. They will never stop trying to undermine, backstab and destroy this President. They believe with all their hearts that they are and should rightfully be completely and totally unaccountable to the will of the voters. They think they're smarter, better and entitled to rule over us with unfettered and unchecked power. And nothing will change their minds. They have to be rooted out and sent packing–every last one of them.

Rock band OK Go on viral success, chart-topping hits, and playing at the Belly Up in Solana Beach
By Rob LeDonne
When rock band OK Go rolls into San Diego to play a July 24 gig at Solana Beach's Belly Up Tavern, it will mark the latest in a string of memorable shows in the region.
"We've played in the area a handful of times," said bassist and vocalist Tim Norwind from his home in Los Angeles.
"Once, the night we released our second-ever record, we made our debut on 'The Tonight Show,' then drove down from Burbank to play at (downtown venue) the Casbah. Maybe 50 people show up," remembers Norwind with a laugh.
The band's star has risen exponentially since those early days, largely due to a string of indie rock hits, including "Here It Goes Again," "All Is Not Lost," and "This Too Shall Pass."
Aside from their music, the band has become known for creative and intricate music videos, many of which become viral sensations.
"A lot of bands don't or wouldn't enjoy making them, but we like the experience," Norwind said. "We love to make videos that excite people and inspire wonderment, joy, and fun. That's the kind of stuff people enjoy watching and playing for their friends."
The band, which started in Chicago, first gained national prominence when the video for its 2005 single
(which featured the members jumping around on treadmills) took off during the early days of viral Internet videos (it boasts nearly 22 million views on YouTube), and later won a Grammy award.
"We're lucky enough to come up in a time that the Internet has become a showcase space, like an art gallery, where you can make and share things," Norwind said. "The fact that people like our videos is certainly encouraging."
The word "like" is probably an understatement. The band's latest video, for the single
was posted to YouTube on June 17 and in the past month alone has garnered 9 million views and attention around the globe.
"The song is about a couple breaking up and seeing their relationship two different ways," said Norwind of the video, which consists of a variety of elaborate optical illusions. "The song and video focuses on perspective and seeing things in a lot of different ways."
The band members originally had the idea to produce a video with optical illusions and forced perspective four years ago. They reached out to a New York-based production company. From there, it took months to hatch a feasible plan, construct a set, and make their unique vision come to life.
"One day, (lead singer) Damien Kulash had seen an advertisement on BBC 4 which featured camera tricks where, at certain angles, the same thing looks different," remembers Norwood of the video's genesis. "We thought we could do it on a bigger scale, and make a cool video."
The video, single, and Belly Up gig are all in support of their album "Hungry Ghosts," which comes out Oct. 14. Until then, Norwind and his bandmates are continuing to think of eye-popping new video ideas and are, of course, going to enjoy the Southern California weather.
"We started out in the Midwest, and while I'll always love it there, the weather (in California) is a major selling point for me," Norwind said. "Just being able to see hills, mountains, and the ocean — it's something I didn't grow up with."
OK Go will perform at 9 p.m. July 24 at the Belly Up in Solana Beach (doors open at 8 p.m.). For information, visit
- The Belly Up is at 143 S. Cedros Ave., Solana Beach; call 858-481-8140.

Mr. Bill showed up on time and walked the property with me in order to provide an estimate of the work needed. He was able to match the colors to the trim work perfectly.
I had a meeting that day in the morning in all the work was completed before I returned home. I thought it might take half the day, but he was so fast and the work is seamless.

Hijacked 2 – Australia/Germany
Hijacked 2 – Australia/Germany
Curated by Mark McPherson (Aus) and Ute Noll (Ger).
11 June – 17 July 2010
Our civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos – Werner Herzog
Hijacked explores the socio-cultural landscapes of Germany and Australia through the diverse talents and perspectives of 32 contemporary photographers. With a focus on the young, the boundary-riding and the fringe-dwelling, Hijacked is layered with imagery that is variously evocative, confronting, dreamlike and incisive.
Building on the unprecedented success of Hijacked 1 (2008), Hijacked 2 – Germany/Australia is both a substantive book and a major exhibition that reinforce and expand upon each other: the exhibition through its experiential immersion and the book through its reflective analysis. Both eschew a simple linear critical argument in favour of a multiplicity of dialogues between works and commentators. What happens between images is as important as any given image content.

Chilean Sea Bass Flavor Profile
Chilean Sea Bass has a fabulous taste and an almost sinful mouth-feel. Its high fat content keeps it moist during cooking and gives it a rich, moist, tender flavor profile which melts in your mouth. It has white flesh with large, tender flakes. I usually cook it to 125° F, about medium (note that the Health Dept. recommends 135° for fish).
Alternate Names
Patagonian Toothfish, Antarctic Toothfish, Antarctic Cod, Icefish, Black hake, Antarctic Blenny, Patagonian Blenny, Icefish, Mero, Bacalao de profundidad, Merluza Negra, Légine australe
Typical Cooking Methods
- Bake
- Broil
- Deep-Fry
- Grill
- Poach
- Saute
- Smoke
- Steam
- Sushi
Chilean Sea Bass Description (Dissostichus eleginoides, Dissostichus mawsoni)
Chilean Sea Bass are actually Patagonian Toothfish (eleginoides) orAntarctic Toothfish (mawsoni) and not a true bass. The average commercial market size is about 20-40 lbs but they can weigh up to 200 lbs. Almost all Chilean Sea Bass is frozen at sea and is almost never available fresh. But these flash frozen fish are very high quality.
Typical Wholesale Products
H&G, Loins, Skin-on Fillets, Skin-off Fillets
Fresh Availability
Fresh seafood availability chart: green areas show peak availability, light green show limited availability, gray indicates not available fresh, but high quality flash frozen product is available all year long.

Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)
There are currently 6 Chilean Sea Bass fisheries which are certified sustainable by MSC:
|Disclaimer: The sustainability info here is accurate to the best of our knowledge. However, each program randomly updates their information without our knowledge. We therefore recommend that you verify the current accuracy of this information.
|= Best Choice/Recommended = Good Alternative = Avoid/Not Recommended
April 2013
In April 2013, after a one year reassessment of the fishery, the Seafood Watch updated the status and rating of Chilean Sea Bass to include some "Best Choice" and "Good Alternative" options. This is due to a major improvement in the management of the fishery, a decrease in bycatch due to the use of improved gear, and a decrease in pirating and illegal fishing.
There are are also several fisheries which are certified sustainable by the MSC (Marine Stewardship Counsel). MSC certified Chilean Sea Bass does not fall under the "Avoid" categorization for Seafood Watch. And Ocean Wise states, "The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has certified the small South Georgian Chilean Sea Bass fishery as 'sustainable' but this fishery only represents a small proportion of Chilean Sea Bass catches." Any vendor, restaurant, or grocery store that states they are selling an MSC product is required to have the MSC "Chain of Custody" certification.
The former rating of "Avoid" was based on the 2006 Seafood Watch Report which suggested the following:
"The majority of Chilean Sea Bass is considered to be over-fished. Additionally, most of the long-line gear which is used is unmodified and as a result it traps and drowns thousands of sea birds including endangered albatross. Because of its popularity, many fish are also caught illegally."
Nutritional Information
based upon a 6 oz (171 grams) raw edible serving.
Comments from before Site Migration
Thanks for the update DISSOSTICHUS! I'll review this an update the page soon.
I would change a few things on this page:
1. Change Alternate Names to: Patagonian toothfish, Antarctic toothfish, Black hake, Mero, Bacalao de profundidad, Merluza Negra, Légine australe
(this is referenced from the Marine Stewardship Council website).
2. Add "or Antarctic Toothfish," to: Chilean Sea Bass Description (Dissostichus eleginoides)
Chilean Sea Bass are actually Patagonian toothfish or Antarctic toothfish, and not a true bass.
3. Add "Skin on fillet" to Typical Wholesale Products
4. Patagonian is spelt wrong in the "Name" section of Chilean Sea Bass Sustainability Info
5. Add "traps" to catch method.
6. There are now 4 toothfish fisheries that are independently certified by the MSC as sustainable and well managed fisheries – South Georgia, Ross Sea, Heard Island, Macquarie Island (this represents 30% of all toothfish harvested worldwide), plus there are 2 more fisheries undergoing assessment (Falkland Islands, Kerguelen Islands) (which is an additional 26% of worldwide catch).
7. I would also remove the statement as this is vastly outdated and inaccurate. (see CCAMLR reports, COLTO website or MSC website for references with scientific backup).
"The majority of Chilean Sea Bass is considered to be over-fished. Additionally, most of the long-line gear which is used is unmodified and as a result it traps and drowns thousands of sea birds including endangered albatross. Because of its popularity, many fish are also caught illegally."
Thanks Ron, always appreciate helpful info to add. It is especially hard to find butchering yields.
Skin Off Chilean Sea bass is approx a 54% yield.
Hi there. SeaChoice and OceanWise recommendations need to be updated. Also, there are now 6 MSC certified fisheries (need to add Kerguelen, and Falkland Islands to your list)
Thanks Martin – I updated the MSC fisheries…I'll try to get to the other recommendations soon.
Thanks for updating the recommendations on MSC,
and happy to work with you to update the SeaChoice and Oceanwise
recommendations if you need any input as well
Would LOVE any help offered @martinexel:disqus. With nearly 500 pages on this site I'm unable to keep content as current as I'd like.

WASHINGTON — Facebook and Yahoo are asking a secret court to allow them to disclose data on national security orders the companies have received under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
The two tech companies filed separate, similar motions Monday with the secret court that oversees that law. Two other companies, Google and Microsoft, have similar motions pending with the court.
All four companies were among several U.S. Internet businesses identified as giving the National Security Agency access to customer data under the program known as PRISM. Facebook and Yahoo say they want to correct false claims and reports about what they provide to the government. They argue they have a free-speech right to publish aggregate data on national security orders.


text: Never been an Apple user, but I found this interesting.... Apple's iMessage encryption trips up feds' surveillance - Yahoo! News Encryption used in Apple's iMessage chat service has stymied attempts by federal drug enforcement agents to eavesdrop on suspects' conversations, an internal government document reveals. An internal Drug Enforcement Administration document seen by CNET discusses a February 2013 criminal investigation and warns that because of the use of encryption, "it is impossible to interceptiMessages between two Apple devices" even with a court order approved by a federal judge. The DEA's warning, marked "law enforcement sensitive," is the most detailed example to date of the technological obstacles -- FBI director Robert Mueller has called it the "Going Dark" problem -- that police face when attempting to conduct court-authorized surveillance on non-traditional forms of communication. When Apple's iMessage was announced in mid-2011, Cupertino said it would use "secure end-to-end encryption." It quickly became the most popular encrypted chat program in history: Apple CEO Tim Cook said last fall that 300 billion messages have been sent so far, which are transmitted through the Internet rather than as more costly SMS messages carried by wireless providers. A spokeswoman for the DEA declined to comment on iMessage and encryption. Apple also declined to comment. The DEA's "Intelligence Note" says that iMessage came to the attention of the agency's San Jose, Calif., office as agents were drafting a request for a court order to perform real-time electronic surveillance under Title III of the Federal Wiretap Act. They discovered that records of text messages already obtained from Verizon Wireless were incomplete because the target of the investigation used iMessage: "It became apparent that not all text messages were being captured." This echoes what other law enforcement agencies have been telling politicians on Capitol Hill for years. Last May, CNET reported that the FBI has quietly asked Web companies not to oppose a law that would levy new wiretap requirements on social-networking Web sites and providers of VoIP, instant messaging, and Web e-mail. During an appearance two weeks later at a Senate hearing, the FBI's Mueller confirmed that the bureau is pushing for "some form of legislation." Andrew Weissmann, the FBI's general counsel, said last month at an American Bar Association event that enacting a new law to amend a 1994 law called the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act is a "top priority" this year. CALEA requires telecommunications providers to build in backdoors for easier surveillance, but does not apply to Internet companies, which are required to provide technical assistance instead. What's difficult, Weissmann said, "is trying to come up with the fairest and most sort of narrowly tailored means to do this." He added: "We don't want to have a system where you're needlessly imposing burdens on thriving industries or even budding industries... So what the bureau has been spending quite a bit of time on, and certainly has as a top priority this year, is coming up with a proposal with other members of the intelligence community that tries to balance all of that. That does tackle the problem of trying to modernize where we were from 1994, given how much technology has advanced." 'Not designed to be government-proof' Apple has disclosed little about how iMessage works, but a partial analysis sheds some light on the protocol. Matthew Green, a cryptographer and research professor at Johns Hopkins University,wrote last summer that because iMessage has "lots of moving parts," there are plenty of places where things could go wrong. Green said that Apple "may be able to substantially undercut the security of the protocol" -- by, perhaps, taking advantage of its position during the creation of the secure channel to copy a duplicate set of messages for law enforcement. Christopher Soghoian, a senior policy analyst at the American Civil Liberties Union, said yesterday that "Apple's service is not designed to be government-proof." "It's much much more difficult to intercept than a telephone call or a text message" that federal agents are used to, Soghoian says. "The government would need to perform an active man-in-the-middle attack... The real issue is why the phone companies in 2013 are still delivering an unencrypted audio and text service to users. It's disgraceful." The DEA says that "iMessages between two Apple devices are considered encrypted communication and cannot be intercepted, regardless of the cell phone service provider." But, if the messages are exchanged between an Apple device and a non-Apple device, the agency says, they "can sometimes be intercepted, depending on where the intercept is placed." This isn't the first time that federal agencies have warned of surveillance woes. An FBI staff operations specialist in the bureau's Counterterrorism Division complained in 2010 of difficulties in "obtaining information from Internet service providers and social-networking sites." And a Homeland Security report obtained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation shows that a working group convened by an FBI office in Chantilly, Va. requested details about how "investigations have been negatively impacted" by companies' delays or inability to comply with surveillance requests. Going Dark has emerged as a significant effort inside the FBI, which employed 107 full-time equivalent people on the project as of 2009, commissioned a RAND study, hired consultants from Booz, Allen and Hamilton, and sought extensive technical input from its secretive Operational Technology Division in Quantico, Va. "There is a growing and dangerous gap between law enforcement's legal authority to conduct electronic surveillance, and its actual ability to conduct such surveillance," FBI director Mueller told a House of Representatives committee two weeks ago. "We must ensure that the laws by which we operate and which provide protection to individual privacy rights keep pace with new threats and new technology." As CNET was the first to report in 2003, representatives of the FBI's Electronic Surveillance Technology Section in Chantilly, Va., began quietly lobbying the Federal Communications Commission to force broadband providers to provide more-efficient, standardized surveillance facilities. The FCC approved that requirement a year later, sweeping in Internet phone companies that tie into the existing telecommunications system. The regulations were upheld in 2006 by a federal appeals court. But the FCC never granted the FBI's request to interpret the law to cover instant messaging and VoIP programs that are not "managed"--meaning peer-to-peer programs like Apple's Facetime and iMessage, Facebook Chat, Gmail's video chat, and Xbox Live's in-game chat that do not use the public telephone network. If Congress does nothing, law enforcement still has options. Police can obtain a special warrant allowing them to sneak into someone's house or office, install keystroke-logging software, and record passphrases. The DEA adopted this technique in a case where suspects used PGP and the encrypted Web e-mail service Hushmail.com. They can also send a suspect malware, purchase a so-called zero day vulnerability to gain control of a target device and extract the contents, or obtain a warrant to seize the physical device and perform a traditional forensics analysis. Apple's privacy policy authorizes the company to divulge customers' information about customers to law enforcement when "reasonably necessary or appropriate" or to "comply with legal process.

Microtoppings & Concrete Stains
Microtoppings can involve a good deal of creativity. Specialty toppings can range from natural rock aggregate like formica to elaborate stamping or saw cuts to reflect the beauty of your store, restaurant, company or home.
Stained concrete is a popular choice for interior floors because of its warm, earthy tones. Concrete can be naturally colored so it complements other elements in a room. While stains are the most common, other coloring options include painting, dying and the application of tinted sealers. Here at Decorative Concrete of New York, we have a color-match guarantee for new applications.

"What Will Matter"
Ready or not, someday it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours, or days. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten will pass to someone else. Your wealth, fame, and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear. So too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to do lists will expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away. It won't matter where you came from or what side of the tracks you lived on at the end. It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant. So what will matter?? How will the value of your days be measured? What will matter is not what you bought but what you built, not what you got but what you gave. What will matter is not your success but your significance. What will matter is not what you leaned but what you taught. What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage, or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example. What will matter is not your competence but your character. What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel lasting loss when you're gone. What will matter is not your memories but the memories of those who loved you. What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what. LIVING A LIFE THAT MATTERS DOESN'T HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT. IT'S NOT A MATTER OF CIRCUMSTANCE BUT OF CHOICE. CHOOSE TO LIVE A LIFE THAT MATTERS. **Parents: your children hold on to your every action & every word. Be the example of the person you want them to be in 25 years. **Coaches: you are your players hero. Set an example of a person who would make you proud. **Players: be kind. Do something nice for someone who doesn't expect it today.

Borgermolen, oilpainting
I looked for a subject to paint, and found the white woodwork of the 1st floor quite interesting.
It's painted with waterbased oils, Talens Cobra. I only used Umber, Sienna, blue and Paynes grey. Thin watery layers of paint, then washed out with water using crumbled paper, rulers, cloth etc. Slowly the image emerges from the mud.

Tagebau Inden
On the way there I passed Inden, just behind Aachen. There are huge browncoal works there. I was able to get to the edge of the terrain, viewing into the deep open mine. The machine on top of the hill stands about 2 km away, and is about 65 meters high. Just to get the scale in proportion.

Lefthand gothic
Laura S. Fiat organized a "Sherlock game", a bunch of people make a drawing on a subject, and everyone will have to guess who made which drawing. Actually that is very hard. I only had one correct.
Subject this time was: make a drawing with your left hand, including a mirrored handwritten text.
Very hard to do.
And my inside joke: the chapel in the back is the one that is featured in the well known painting: American Gothic by Grant Wood.

Fly A Kite- Two Ways
Hello, DeNami friends!
If you follow us on the DeNami Design Facebook page, you saw yesterday that I did a sneak peek of today's post. I have not one, but TWO cards to share with you today. Granted, they are the same layout and feature the same stamps, but nevertheless, it's two cards. :)
A while back I had this idea of doing a theme week showcasing how a layout and stamps can easily be incorporated into cards for either gender. It hasn't happened yet, but it will soon. Be sure to keep your eye out for this one....
To showcase what I'm talking about, here is a card layout that features both a "boy" and "girl" color scheme.
I am a huge fan of all things girly, but there is something about these colors that make me happy. Three different shades of green on one card? Yes, it can happen!
What did you think? Do you like the idea of a week of guy/ girl cards? If you have requests for a certain kind of card (thank you, birthday, etc.) please feel free to post what you would like to see. I'll do my best to make it happen!
As always, I'm so happy you stopped by the blog today. I hope you were inspired!
*I combined both cards into one supply list below*

Good for you Bentley, but I feel you are far to young to be in you golden years ;)ReplyDelete
that's great Bentley! it seems that it is like a magic potion and I'm glad that we can do so much now to keep our pets healthy and fit. Thanks for a super review!ReplyDelete
That sounds like a great supplement. I am on a similar one right now and Ma wasn't sure if it would work. Same thing happened as with Bentley...all of a sudden, my Terrier spunk was back. Ma and Daddy-dog were shocked. So glad Dr. Harvey's makes this. We will surely have to give it a try.ReplyDelete
Thank you for the review. My dogs just turned 6 and I have been looking for different supplements for them.ReplyDelete
We will definitely have to check it out. I've been trying to add vitamins/supplements to Monty's food. The current one I have has me worried about how it has dried out since the container has been opened - even though I seal it tightly each time.ReplyDelete
Monty and Harlow
I didn't realize age 7 was considered senior for dogs! In that case, Mika will be a senior next year!!!ReplyDelete
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Great review love!ReplyDelete
That sounds like some great stuff. Great ways to keep them healthy!ReplyDelete
You go Bentley - you are only as old as you feel!ReplyDelete
Great review! You're so right! I am always thinking of ways to keep the goldens healthy so they can live a long and happy life! With Miley turning 7 next year, this is definitely something I will look into for her!ReplyDelete
Haven't tried this one but the ingredients look good.ReplyDelete
We have been giving Mabel Dr. Harveys E-mune Boost Supplement for her immune systemReplyDelete
Mr Bailey, Hazel & Mabel

I really like all of the Dr Harveys products.ReplyDelete
Mom said once we turn 4 or 5 we have to stay that age. She said it was a rule.ReplyDelete
Your Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
Thank you for this post. I am going out tomorrow to get this for Keira. I'm so concerned that she's not getting everything she needs! She will be 10 this month.ReplyDelete
Bentley looks like he's doing great :) I didn't know as much about food with Daisy because she didn't have any issues and could eat anything so I didn't think about it. I love that saying, when you know better you do better. So true!! I know what I put in my mouth and I want to know what goes into Cocoa's body too. The better I eat the better I feel and I'm sure the same with our pups!! Thank you.ReplyDelete
This sounds like a great supplement, and we appreciate the holistic/natural aspects of it. I didn't used to be big on supplements, but now I like to do whatever we can to help our older girls, as long as it's safe and natural. Seeing them stay active is just the best!ReplyDelete
Jan, Wag 'n Woof Pets
This sounds like a great supplement! I love that all of those ingredients are things you can pronounce and easily look up. It is a wonderful thing when a company is willing to be that transparent about their products.ReplyDelete
-Purrs from your friends at www.PlayfulKitty.net
That looks like a great supplement. Does Dr. Harvey do anything like that for cats? A couple of us are getting up there in years. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Dr. Harvey's has a complete line of products for cats! Here is the link for the Golden Years especially formulated for senior cats. https://www.drharveys.com/products/cats/261-golden-years-herbal-supplement-for-senior-catsDelete

Looks like there's a lot of goodness in the Golden Years product :)ReplyDelete
This looks like a great supplement. I'm glad Bentley likes itReplyDelete
so glad Bentley is feeling really good. Great review.ReplyDelete
Well Bentley sure looks good and those supplements sound great. They seem like a cool company.ReplyDelete
This has to be one of the most interesting supplements we have heard of. Mom is very hesitant to give me supplements but this is one to definitely consider some day. Love DollyReplyDelete
Isn't it wonderful when you actually *see* change in your dog after using a product? That is so exciting! Thanks for this review of what looks like a great supplement for seniors.ReplyDelete
I'm glad that Bentley seems to be feeling rejuvenated!ReplyDelete
With joint supplements I have seen a big improvement in my dog's mobility. They are helping to keep her young :)ReplyDelete
Think i need to try this!!ReplyDelete
This looks like really good stuff! I love all natural products that are made in the U.S. Thanks for sharing this.ReplyDelete
Love & Biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
Finndawg is approximately 6 on the rescue dog scale... This winter he showed his first signs of arthritis and luckily an increase in what we were giving him for his luxating patella kept him mobile. We'll be looking into Dr Harvey's as next year... he'll be another year older. Thanks for the info. Sharing to the WherePetsAreFound community.ReplyDelete
So glad this appears to be helping Bentley.ReplyDelete
This is a great review! Thank you! I'm always on the lookout for natural ingredients for my Huskies, especially now that one is 10, one is 8, and my "puppies" are 7 - so pretty soon I'll have all "senior" dogs (but don't tell them that!) It's wonderful to hear how much better Bentley felt on it as well! Something to check out for sure!ReplyDelete
