1) Is a cargo bike difficult to ride?
Not at all. A cargo bike rides very much like a normal bike. The steering mechanism is carefully designed to ensure this. A tip for new riders - the front wheel can be very distracting. Don't watch it, look ahead to where you are going.
"Serious" cyclists generally have no trouble riding a cargo bike, but claim that it will "take some getting used to". People who ride less often (or who haven't ridden in years) tend to find the cargo bike as easy to ride as any other bike.
A couple of personal notes:
"My conventional commuting bike was stolen in January 2008. Rather than wearing out the off-road tyres of my mountain bike, I rode a cargo bike for the 13km return trip to work for the couple of days it took to get another commuting bike. The ride took a few minutes longer than normal, but I was able to do the grocery shopping on the way home! I now ride the cargo bike on the 13km round trip to work two days a week to collect my daughter from childcare on the way home."
"I rode a cargo bike on the MS Society's "Melbourne Summer Cycle" fundraiser in February 2008. Including the ride to and from the event, I covered 50km for the day. I certainly felt like I'd been riding a bike, but it wasn't an ordeal... I'd do it again any day."
2) Is a cargo bike difficult to ride with a load in the box?
The bike certainly gets heavier, but if anything the steering and balance are more stable. Because the box is so low to the ground, adding a load doesn't make the bike top-heavy like a typical luggage rack.
3) How much weight can a cargo bike carry?
The cargo bike is rated to carry a total of 150kg, including the rider.
We've tested the cargo bike with 80kg in the cargo box, and a 90kg rider. That's 22 house bricks, which mostly filled the cargo box. Almost anything else that can fit in the cargo box would be lighter than this.
The bike coped with the load without real trouble: it was certainly strong enough, although the frame was starting to feel a little springy. It was not difficult to ride, and was quite easy to steer and control once accustomed to the handling characteristics of such a heavy bike.
Carrying a load of this size is possible, but not recommended, and not covered by warranty.
4) Is a cargo bike able to climb hills?
All bikes are easier to ride on flat land, and a cargo bike is no exception. Within reason, a cargo bike's 8-speed gears allow it to be ridden up hills.
It's realistic to compare an 8-speed cargo bike with a 3-speed conventional bike. The cargo bike is heavier - especially with a couple of kids and some groceries on board - so it needs the additional low gears. A 3-speed bike can go a lot of places, but it's not a mountain climber; the same can be said of a cargo bike. Choose a low gear and take your time.
5) How does the cargo bike's steering work?
There's a steering linkage from the base of the steering tube (below the handlebars) to the forks. With ball joints at each end, the steering is very direct, with no noticeable play or slack.
6) Is a two-wheeled cargo bicycle as stable as a cargo tricycle?
When standing still or riding slowly in a straight line, a tricycle is more stable. On real-world surfaces, cross-slopes and around corners, a bicycle is far superior.
The benefit of a two-wheeled bike is that it can lean relative to the road; that means the bike can remain upright regardless of any angled road surface (camber), and can bank into corners. Like a conventional bike, a moving cargo bike has "dynamic stability" and is subconsciously balanced by steering.
7) How safe is my child on a cargo bike?
We have done no formal testing, so can only speculate as to the safety of a cargo bike.
Choice has published an article comparing bike seats and trailers for carrying children. Some of the issues discussed are specific to rear-mounted child seats and trailers, and solved by the cargo bike. Other issues are universally applicable.
A key benefit of the cargo bike is that your child (or any other cargo) is in front, in clear view of the rider. This is much safer, as well as giving your child a better view and allowing you to talk with her. You don't need to look behind to check up on her, as you do with a rear rack-mounted seat or trailer.
Cycling with children is an inherently risky activity. It is the responsibility of parents to ensure the safety of their own children. If in doubt, discuss with your child healthcare professional.
Children should always wear an approved bike helmet when riding in a cargo bike.
8) Is my child as safe on a cargo bike as in a conventional child bike seat?
We have done no formal testing, so can only speculate as to the safety of each option.
The child sits low in a cargo bike, making the bike more stable than a high mounted child seat on a conventional bike. In case of a crash, this also means the child doesn't have so far to fall, and is protected by the sturdy plywood box.
Balancing and securing a child in a conventional bike seat takes more than one set of hands. With the heavy duty four-point stand under the cargo box, a cargo bike is stable and can be loaded and unloaded single handed.
We are yet to see any safe method for carrying more than one child on a conventional bike. The cargo bike has room (and safety harnesses) for two children, with cargo space to spare.
It is possible - and quite common in Europe - to mount a child bike seat on the rear luggage rack of a cargo bike, for even more carrying capacity.
9) Is my child as safe on a cargo bike as in a bike trailer?
We have done no formal testing, so can only speculate as to the safety of each option.
Most child-carrying trailers have two wheels. Two-wheel trailers have been known to flip over when one wheel hits a bump or curb. The wheels of a two-wheel trailer will often hit bumps that the bike avoids, because the two trailer wheels are set wider than the wheels of a bike. Two-wheel trailers are also prone to rolling over if towed too fast around a corner, because the trailer doesn't bank into the corner like the bike does. Obviously, none of these issues apply to a cargo bike, as the child is riding on the same two wheels as the adult cyclist.
For even more carrying capacity, it is possible to tow a trailer behind a cargo bike. Care should be taken to avoid trailer roll-overs.
10) Where are Cargocycles cargo bikes made? Are they Bakfiets.nl Cargo bikes?
Cargocycles cargo bikes are proudly made in China - the biggest cycling nation on earth, with considerable experience in building and using bikes to carry loads.
Having the bikes built in China from quality components, we are able to supply them for a fraction of the price of the (brilliant but costly) Bakfiets.nl Cargobike.
11) Why hub gears?
Derailleur gears have been most common on Australian bikes for at least 30 years. They are a good option for sporting and recreational bikes, because they are light, relatively cheap, and can provide a wide range of gear ratios.
On a practical working bike such as a cargo bike, there are more important factors than weight and cost. Hub gears are much more robust, durable and reliable. By putting all the moving parts inside the wheel, hub gears offer a much better solution for working bikes.
It's almost impossible for the chain to fall off a hub geared bike. With a constant chain line, it's possible to use a chain cover, keeping the bike's greasy chain away from the rider's clean trouser cuffs (and keeping grit and grime away from the bike's drivetrain).
A modern multi-speed hub requires little attention other than an annual service and adjustment.
12) How do I use hub gears?
The main difference between hub gears and derailleur gears is that you don't need to pedal - or even be moving - to shift hub gears. There's no need to try to take off in a high gear, because you can shift to first before pushing off.
It is good practice to pause pedalling to shift gears. There's no need to pedal backwards, as was sometimes advised with older 3-speed hub gears.
13) Where is Cargocycles' shop?
Cargocycles HQ is at 176 Lygon Street Brunswick East, Vic.
14) What hours are you open for business?
9am - 6pm Monday to Friday and 10 – 3pm Saturday. (closed on public holidays)
15) Is Cargocycles looking for dealers?
If you run a shop and would like to stock Cargocycles bikes, please contact us to discuss wholesale pricing.
16) How much beer can a cargo bike carry?
Four cartons/cases/slabs of stubbies is easy.
More would be possible if you drink cans, or if you load the cases higher, or if you use the rear luggage rack.
We advise against riding cargo bikes under the influence of any intoxicating substance.
17a) Why are your cargo bikes so expensive?
17b) Why are your cargo bikes so cheap?
We are asked both, and both are fair questions.
Our cargo bikes are more expensive than a conventional bike of comparable quality.
This is typical of unusual styles of bicycle. For example, It is a rule of thumb that a tandem bike costs twice as much as a comparable single bike. Likewise with cargo bikes. The economy of scale possible in the manufacture, freight and distribution of conventional bikes don't apply when dealing with low volume niche products like cargo bikes.
That said, our bikes are much cheaper than most other cargo bikes on the market.
As a concept developed in Northern Europe, most cargo bikes are produced in Europe. As with other manufactured goods, European products carry a premium price. We avoid the "made in Europe" price tag by sourcing our bikes from China - where most of the world's bikes are manufactured.
We have been able to make the economy of scale work in our favour by making our bikes affordable. Our cargo bikes are built in larger production batches, and we import them by the container load - much cheaper than importing very small numbers of premium-priced cargo bikes. The cheaper our bikes, the more we are able to sell, reducing costs further - a virtuous cycle.
We could make our cargo bikes a little cheaper by using lower priced components. Aside from the specialised frame, much of the cargo bike's cost is in the Shimano drivetrain. A no-name derailleur gear drivetrain would save a few dollars, at a cost of functionality.
Conversely, we could make our cargo bikes a lot more expensive by using higher priced components elsewhere on the bike, without making a huge difference to performance or durability.
We believe we have achieved a good balance of price and performance, to bring a very practical cargo bike to market at an affordable price.

Hey kids, it just keeps growing.
- DID any playoff pictures become clearer over the weekend? Well, the Red Sox, Cardinals, and Giants didn't do themselves any favors, but at least San Francisco is still within two of the wild card.
- BUT wouldn't they feel better if they were chasing a team without Roy Halladay? He's starting against the Dodgers tonight.
- WILL Manny Ramirez make a big splash in his first game with the White Sox?
- WHAT are you, stupid? Like he was going to report to his new team right away. He's skipping today because he probably has to come back to Boston to get his hair done or down to the Dominican Republic to ride some waterslide first. My prediction for his impact in the AL Central race is BUBKIS. White Sox play the Indians.
- WHICH also ran will make the best spoiler in the deadlocked AL East race? Oakland (in New York) or Toronto (in Tampa)? With six games separating them from any other Wild Card team the Yankees and Rays are reeeeaallly gonna have to screw something up to miss out on the postseason (fingers crossed).
- DID you hear that Rinku got promoted? Happy day!
- IS Boeing delaying the Dreamliner just to piss off Paul Beletiere and the fine folks at Cruise Planners News? I say yes.

"Yes, that's correct." The Admin replied.
Acre said, "So what if the mage is at their house or away from the Tower?"
"Mages can still check their mail, but they'll need help from some daemons."
"Which ones?"
"Two actually:
imapd and
"What are the differences?", Acre asked.
popd (also known as
popd3, since that's the current version of the protocol) is more simple than
imapd. It takes less resources in the Tower to use, and has been around longer.
imapd, on the other hand, might be more complex, but provides more features in return."
"What kind of features?"
"Well, when a mage checks their mail with
pop3, all the mail is transferred to where the mage is, and is then removed from the Towers mail department. If the mage somehow loses their mail, it's lost forever — the Tower has no record of it anymore.
imap can fix that problem by allowing the mage to check their mail from a different location while still having the mail stored at the Tower.
imap can also handle shared mailboxes and multiple mailboxes easily. While it is possible to leave mail at the Tower using
pop, it doesn't work as smoothly as
imap and still creates a 2nd copy at the mage's location, taking up space."
Acre asked, "I see. So
imap is more preferred?"
"It's very easy for a Tower to use both
pop and
imap and let the mage decide. From the mage's perspective,
imap provides more features and is really the better choice — unless they're in a situation where
pop is the only option."
"So how does each one work?" Acre asked.
The Admin replied, "The mage will have to set up a mail program wherever they are. Once he tells the mail program some information about himself, the Tower to get the mail from, and whether to use
pop or
imap, the program will do the rest of the dirty work. We can actually see some of that work here.

"As you can see, they work in two completely different ways." the Admin said."
"What's all that
telnet stuff?" Acre asked.
telnet is a spell to let us talk to Towers remotely.
pop3.unixmages.com and
imap.unixmages.com are the two places we're talking to. The number at the end is a port. We'll learn about ports later — but just for now, remember that
110 and
143 are the port numbers for popd and imapd."
popd and
imapd — these two daemons allow a mage to connect to a remote Tower to check their mail. Basically, what they're doing is teleporting over to the Tower and allowing the mage's mail program to use fancy versions of the
cat or
less spells to read those text files in their mailbox. Right?"
"You got it." The Admin said.
Acre said, "OK, I get it. Now what about mail services like gmail and yahoo that let you check your mail over the web. How do those work?"
"Basically the same way as using a full mail program. Those services still use mailboxes and
popd and
imapd, but they output all the mail to a webpage."
"Got it.", Acre said, "Now how does someone send me mail and how does it get to my mailbox?"
"We'll go over that topic next."

UFC's LeBron James "Rise" Commercial Parody (Video)
Dana White and the UFC have the answer to LeBron James' question, "What should I do?". That answer? "I don't give a F**k!"
This is a genius and hilarious way to promote UFC 122 on Spike this Saturday night, as well as sticking the needle where it deserves to be stuck. LeBron is a big wuss, as he proved a while back when he didn't want to have footage released when that college kid dunked it on his blown up head.
Now I know the UFC didn't produce this video, but I bet they love it to death. Give that kid a job. He understands that there aren't many left that like this self-proclaimed 'King'. In fact, most people make fun of him and think he's a bee-yotch — even comedians.
Oh well. At least LeBron and the Heat are totally dominating the NBA. Let me pull up the standings here real quick. 5-4? Guess that Bulls record is safe after all. The bigger question is whether LeBron and the Heat will have home court when the first round of the NBA playoffs start.

What would Mana Pools be without the occasional 'stroppy' bull elephant (Loxodonta africana)? This young bull decided to exert his 'territorial' dominance with a mock charge, starting with the typical head down, trunk extended, much trumpeting and the sudden rush forward stopping short several meters, deliberately kicking up dust and flapping its ears as wide as it can. Just another day in the office! Mana Pools is at the peak of its African bush beauty following goods rains. Everything is green and the Indigofera (tinctoria) are in lush green abundance.

Learn poker is is an art, and a science and math. And a few other things that I will have on my blog someday.First you have to learn the basics of poker. Meaning things like starting hands. Starting hands are easy to learn.Like in holdem, 2 aces.. Are the best starting hand.Everyone will agree that 2 aces are the best starting hand.
Learn poker is not that simple.Say you have 2 aces in a limit poker game. You are first to act and you just call.If one player calls you, you are the favorite to win. But what if 5 other players call. Now you are actually a dog to win.Most players don't really understand when aces are not the best hand. One example is most players go to far with aces.Say you have 2 aces and on the flop, it comes 10, 7,2 off suit. You bet and get raised. Well you are probably beat. The other player has at least 2 pair or a set. You can call one raise but if you don't improve your hand, you should give it up.
Winning at poker is simple.But you got to understand many things that most players don't ever understand. This will get you the money in the long run. Some day I will have a lot of things on my blog and will write a book. The reason I have not written my book is simple, I am trying to write a book that anyone can understand. It may not make you the best poker player in the world. But will show how to make money playing poker.Which is the reason I started to play poker.

This has never happened to me before. So much for my knock-off cheapy(though cool-looking) case. What now? Bonus points for anything thatdoesn't require a trip to the Apple store.
Also, do you take care of your things? I always marvel at people whoseshoes look new after months of wearing or whose clothes don't getstained or who don't lose things. What is up with that? Is thatchildhood-trauma-based or what?
I lose everything and always think of it as a lesson in not beingattached to things. I'm sure my employers, who provided me with thisphone, are very thrilled about that.
Speaking of my employers, I had a dream last night starring Dr. Drewand a fictional sidekick of his named Gary or something and we wereall traveling to England where I was meeting with Chris Martin about aproject and Tyler bumped me up to business class and I found out frommy step-dad after I was already in my seat that the ticket cost anextra $40,000. It was a nightmare. The end. (Analyses, please? I knowthe Dr. Drew part is from my huge jealousy over Mandy's time with --and hug from -- the man yesterday.)
My thumb feels like it has a glass shard in it. Maybe you aren'tsupposed to use the phone in this state? It still works though!Goooood morning!

People, Parks, and Dogs: Park Board seeks feedback on time restrictions, boundaries, and stewardship in off-leash dog areas
January 31 2017
"The Park Board is keen to hear the public's feedback on these recommendations," said Park Board Chair Michael Wiebe. "We look forward to finalizing a strategy this spring that will improve the shared use of our parks by people with and without dogs."
The Vancouver Park Board is set to begin round two of a citywide consultation on People, Parks, and Dogs next week. This will complete the community engagement that began last year allowing the Board to chart a path toward greater shared use of parks for the next decades.
We received more than 4,000 responses from the public in the first round of this consultation and we've now come up with draft recommendations for round two.
These recommendations offer more clarity and consistency for all park users and encourage a new model of community responsibility, stewardship, and respect for parks, people, and four-legged friends.
Give your feedback on the draft recommendations
In round two of the consultation, we're asking for your feedback on the draft recommendations. For example, we propose to:
- Outline new types and priority locations for off-leash areas with clear boundaries
- Remove time restrictions at off-leash areas where appropriate, while clearly restricting this activity on sports fields and in ecologically-sensitive areas
- Propose neighbourhood networks of off-leash stewards and an expanded code of conduct to support responsible shared use of our parks
The recommendations are grouped in five themes:
- Stewardship: Formalize citizens' role in off-leash area stewardship
- Access: Improve access to dog off-leash areas throughout the city
- Boundaries: Provide clear and effective off-leash area boundaries
- Variety of parks: Offer a variety of off-leash experiences in destination-, neighbourhood-, and downtown parks
- Design and amenities: Support the needs of people with and without dogs in parks with off-leash areas
We created the draft recommendations based on:
- Feedback from round one of the consultation
- Lessons learned from other cities
- Analysis of existing off-leash areas in Vancouver
Ways to participate
"The Park Board is keen to hear the public's feedback on these recommendations," said Park Board Chair Michael Wiebe. "We look forward to finalizing a strategy this spring that will improve the shared use of our parks by people with and without dogs."
Take our online survey, and join our eight drop-in open houses and small group discussions throughout the city. The round two consultation period runs from January 31 to March 10, 2017.
The final recommendations in the People, Parks, and Dogs citywide strategy are expected to go to the elected Park Board for review and decisions in late-May or early-June 2017.

The Feingold Resolution and the Sound of Silence
Democratic senators, filing in for their weekly caucus lunch yesterday, looked as if they'd seen a ghost.
"I haven't read it," demurred Barack Obama (Ill.).
"I just don't have enough information," protested Ben Nelson (Neb.). "I really can't right now," John Kerry (Mass.) said as he hurried past a knot of reporters -- an excuse that fell apart when Kerry was forced into an awkward wait as Capitol Police stopped an aide at the magnetometer.
Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) brushed past the press pack, shaking her head and waving her hand over her shoulder. When an errant food cart blocked her entrance to the meeting room, she tried to hide from reporters behind the 4-foot-11 Barbara Mikulski (Md.).
"Ask her after lunch," offered Clinton's spokesman, Philippe Reines. But Clinton, with most of her colleagues, fled the lunch out a back door as if escaping a fire.
In a sense, they were. The cause of so much evasion was S. Res. 398, the resolution proposed Monday by Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.) calling for the censure of President Bush for his warrantless wiretapping program. At a time when Democrats had Bush on the ropes over Iraq, the budget and port security, Feingold single-handedly turned the debate back to an issue where Bush has the advantage -- and drove another wedge through his party.
So nonplused were Democrats that even Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), known for his near-daily news conferences, made history by declaring, "I'm not going to comment." Would he have a comment later? "I dunno," the suddenly shy senator said.
Republicans were grateful for the gift. The office of Sen. John Cornyn (Tex.) put a new "daily feature" on its Web site monitoring the censure resolution: "Democrat co-sponsors of Feingold Resolution: 0."
Many of Feingold's Democratic colleagues agree that Bush abused his authority with the NSA spying program. And they know liberal Democratic activists are eager to see Bush censured, or worse. But they also know Feingold's maneuver could cost them seats in GOP states.
Hence the elaborate efforts to avoid comment. Five Democratic senators called a news conference yesterday to talk about the Bush budget's "dangerously irresponsible priorities" -- but three of them fled the room before allowing questions. The other two were stuck.
"Was it a good idea for Senator Feingold to bring up this resolution?" came the first question, from CNN's Ed Henry.
"He brings up some very important issues," Debbie Stabenow (Mich.) ventured.

Hawai'i Space Grant Consortium Associate Director, Honolulu Community College,
Future Flight Hawai'i instructor.
Cat's eyes are lens-shaped seashells found along coral reef beaches. They are flat and circular one side and convex on the other. Some have convex surfaces which are colored. One in particular has a large green pattern, which gives a resemblance to an eye, hence the name.
The shells are the trapdoor or operculum of turban shells of the genus Turbor. They protect the animal when it recedes into the shell. Some have diameters in excess of 4 cm.
Coral and seashells, including cat's eyes, and the ocean sand that they produce are composed principally of calcium carbonate, CaCO3. Incidentally, limestone and marble are geological products of sand on the floors of ancient oceans, which have been transformed by time, heat and pressure. The chemical in vinegar which produces its sour taste and pungent smell is acetic acid, CH3CO2H. Acids typically react with carbonates to produce carbon dioxide gas, water, and a generic salt. The salt resulting from the reaction of acetic acids with calcium carbonate is calcium acetate, Ca(CH3CO2)2. It is a crystalline solid.
Beach Dynamics
You can find cat's eyes if you study beach dynamics and the understand the fluid dynamic behavior of these shells. First of all, the beaches much be coral sand beaches. This type of sand is composed of pulverized coral and seashells. Second, the waters must be a habitat for the turban shells. Third, beach waves sort out sand and gravel according to particle size. A careful inspection of a beach reveals gravel in the shore break, and a graduation of particle sizes from small to large as you move up the beach. A line of larger stones and pebbles is commonly found above the high water mark, where storm surf has deposited them.
The shapes of particles can also influence their location on the beach. Cat's eyes are usually found with the convex surface facing up. As a wave washes over the cat's eye, the moving water produces lift in the shell due to the Bernoulli effect. Hence they move further onshore than their size would dictate. Furthermore, if the beach is crescent-shaped and if there is a current parallel to the shore, the cat's eyes tend to be on the down-current end of the beach due to their enhanced mobility. This makes them very easy to find, if you know where to look.
Observing Cat's Eyes (grades 6 - 12)
1. Observe the behavior of cat's eyes when vinegar is poured over them.
2. Record observations.
3. Explain observations.
4.. Design an experiment to test your hypothesis.
5. Formulate conclusions about the behavior.
Cat's eyes, vinegar, flat-bottom dish, goggles, gloves.
Caution: Vinegar is acidic. Wear gloves and goggles.
1. Label convex side of shells with a pencil.
2. Measure the diameter of the shells. Determine their mass if possible.
3. Place the shells in the flat-bottom dish and cover with vinegar.
4. Observe behavior of the shells.
5. Extension: leave the dish until the vinegar evaporates.
The vinegar can be poured down the drain. Rinse dish with water. If the dish is left until the vinegar evaporates, rinse the dish with water.
1. What causes the shells to move?
2. Is there any difference in the motions of the shells? Can you make any generalizations about motion versus size of the shells?
3. What are cat's eyes made out of?
4. What is vinegar made out of of?
5. What are the bubbles made of?
6. Explain the differences in movement of the different shells.
7. What chemical are seashells composed of? What is its formula?
8. What is the acidic chemical in vinegar? What is its formula?
9. What is the name and formula of the gas?
10. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between vinegar and the shells.
Observing Cat's Eyes (grades K - 5)
1. Observe what happens when vinegar is poured over cat's eyes in a
shallow dish.
2. Record observations.
3. Create a hypothesis to explain what happens.
4. Design experiments to test the hypothesis.
Cat's eyes, vinegar, shallow dish, goggles, gloves.
Caution: Vinegar is an acid. Wear goggles and gloves.
1. Measure cat's eyes.
2. Label the convex side with a pencil.
3. Place the cat's eyes in a shallow dish and cover with vinegar.
4. Observe and record your observations.
5. Explain your observations.
6. Extension: leave the dish for a few days until the vinegar evaporates.
The vinegar can be poured down the drain. Rinse dish with water. If the dish is left until the vinegar evaporates, rinse the dish with water.
1. What causes the shells to move?
2. Is there any difference in the motions of the shells? Can you make any generalizations about motion versus size of the shells?
3. What are cat's eyes made out of?
4. What is vinegar made out of of?
5. What are the bubbles made of?
6. Explain the differences in movement of the different shells.

These images are fantastic, so strange, and absurd, and dark and funny, and jangle-ly.
I love them. Hope you are having a great event free summer.
Roberta KeyAugust 20, 2012
At 46 I've finally decided what I want to be when I grow up, an artist/art teacher. While doing research for my Art Apreciation class I came upon a mistake in the instructor's power point presentation. It was supposed to show Frida's Self Portrait With Monkeys, but mistakenly showed a duplicate image from the next slide. So, I HAD to look up the correct image for sanity's sake & art posterity (of course). Here, I came upon your representation of the same title & the others. Thank you for letting us into your world & showing your art with a healthy serving of humor.
Healing & light,
PS (FYI I have a chronic pain disorder involving C5-C6 & L5-S1 agrivated by fibromyalgia. Your art made me laugh, wonder & hope for the future.)

Hi Amanda,
You know, I didn't check these comments until way after the fact. Thanks so much for looking…
Great job on the gallery activities.

Back Brace Self-Portraits
- Performative
- Photography
In February 2011, I broke my back (fractured L1) in a sledding mishap. The "cure" for such an injury is to immobilize the spine for 12-14 weeks with a custom-made, clam shell plastic brace. When the physical therapists first put the brace on me, I realized that the hard white plastic was a terrific blank canvas, white board, or stage. As anyone might imagine, it's pretty uncomfortable to sit upright or sleep in it. I spent the better part of 3.5 months on the couch. To keep myself entertained, I started shooting photos using my brace like a T-shirt, decorating it with humorous texts, slogans, and images. As time wore on, I started to see it as a replacement for my torso--a manufactured female body that I could place in any context. It was raw material, it was a shell, a costume and a partner. With it I was Venus, Frida, Miss America, an Easter egg, Humpty Dumpty, and Mr. Peanut.

Ribbon Cutting held on September 18, 2015 in Estancia's Arthur Park
(September 2, 2015 – Estancia, NM)- After years of hard work and a community led effort, the Salt Missions Trail Scenic Byway will soon see 51-signs installed along the historic route. "The Salt Missions Trail Scenic Byway winds through an interesting area of New Mexico both scenically and historically", said NM Senator Ted Barela, (R)-District 39. "By creating a brand and adding signs to the Byway, we're creating more opportunities to promote and encourage new visitors to experience the richness of this region."
The Mid-region Council of Governments provides staff support to the Salt Missions Trail Scenic Byway Committee (SMT Committee), which is comprised of local officials and volunteers from Torrance, southern Santa Fe and east Bernalillo Counties. MRCOG and the SMT Committee have secured enough funding to purchase 51 Salt Missions Trail signs to be installed along the Byway.
"A couple of years ago, COG staff assisted community stakeholders in and around Torrance County with the development of a logo for the Salt Missions Trail", said Dewey Cave, Executive Director for the Mid-Region Council of Governments. "This symbol of collaboration will now be shared with those who venture to learn more about this historic area."
The celebrated Byway lies approximately 30-miles east of Albuquerque in the central part of New Mexico connecting Old Route 66 with the Abo Canyon Trail along the roadway loop that runs from Moriarty south to Willard, west to Mountainair, north to Tijeras, and then east to Moriarty. The Byway also includes links west to the Abo Mission ruins and south to Gran Quivera, connecting a number of historic farming and Spanish land grant communities in the area. The transportation, trade, and use of salt from the salt lakes in the Estancia Basin provides the common link between these various points celebrating the communities and Spanish Missions along the way.
The Salt Missions Trail Scenic Byway Ribbon Cutting Ceremony took place on September 10, 2015 in Estancia's Arthur Park.

Adrenaline-loving director Tony Scott teams with iconic action producer Jerry Bruckheimer for this high-flung sci-fi action thriller concerning a New Orleans-based maverick ATF agent named Doug Carlin (Denzel Washington) who is brought in on a top-secret government program to catch the terrorist (Jim Caviezel) responsible for a ferry bombing that kills hundreds. Able to do what most law enforcement officers only dream of, Carlin is now able to look back in time at the perpetrator's movements, and at the life of the innocent woman whose death would set the events into motion. Carlin's instincts tell him that something is amiss, however, and while the government agent who tapped him for the job (Val Kilmer) and the team of ultra-cool scientists who run the project (Adam Goldberg, Erika Alexander) tell him one story about the quantum physics behind this marvel of technology, the hotshot agent suspects that there is a greater power at their fingertips -- one that might not just solve the crime at hand, but prevent it. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Gypsy Soul • 6oz
$ 14.00
Handpoured, wood-wick soy candle in Gypsy Soul, a gorgeous, exotic layered blend that begins with blood orange, white jasmine, honey and orange blossoms, followed by grapefruit and bergamot and topped with magnolia blooms, orchid, freesia, lily, cognac, light patchouli and musk. Gypsy Soul smells like a Moroccan day dream.
• • • • • • • • • •
This travel size tin is 6 oz., the perfect size for easy gift giving, taking with you on a long trip, or even to give out as wedding favours. Each wood wick candle is made to order and hand poured in small batches. We only use pure, renewable, US-grown soy wax. Our wax is 98% natural soy with 2% natural additives, which we use to ensure a consistent product. We use paraben- & phthalate-free fragrance oils. Each candle is made with an American Hardwood wooden wick, which are a great alternative to cotton and paper wicks. Using a wood wicks can increase the scent throw of your candle, as well as provide a slight "firewood" scent. They also make a really amazing crackling sound when lit (don't be nervous if you hear it!). Always light wooden wicks close to the base of your candle and not at the top.
When you first light your candle, you should let it burn until it has achieved a full melt pool (liquefied wax that has reached the edges of the container). This will establish the memory burn and will help keep the scent in your candle strong and your wax from tunneling. Your initial burn is very important, but you should let your candle reach a full melt pool each time after, as well. Burn times will vary. If you are experiencing problems with your wood wick not staying lit, the solution is simple! It just needs to be trimmed a bit. To trim it, make sure the wax is firm and cool to the touch, then use your fingers to pinch off the burnt top of the wick.

Some of the loveliest, prettiest and funniest picture books I've seen in the past week.
Be a Friend
Dennis is an ordinary boy who expresses himself in extraordinary ways. Some children do show-and-tell. Dennis mimes his. Some children climb trees. Dennis is happy to BE a tree . . . But being a mime can be lonely. It isn't until Dennis meets a girl named Joy that he discovers the power of friendship–and how special he truly is! At its core, this book is a heartwarming story of self-acceptance, courage, and unbreakable friendship for anyone who has ever felt "different."
(Its such a lovely message and so heartwarming)
The Famishing Vanishing Mahoosive Mammoth
The famishing vanishing mahoosive mammoth is a hairy beast who simply can't think of anything but his tummy. So how, then, can his friend Bug distract him?
Find out in this hilarious rhyming picture book about one hairy mammoth with a ridiculously large appetite, and one loyal friend with a clever plan.
(clever and brilliant and impossible to read aloud)
Dog on a Train
A young boy drops his hat as he's rushing out of the house. His faithful friend picks it up and follows and so the adventure begins!
(This book has no words but still tells a beautiful story and you just have to go awwww)
I Will Love you Anyway
I don't do 'sit!'
I don't do 'stay!'
But I will love you anyway.
From the celebrated creators of Kipper, Wibbly Pig, and Zoe and Beans comes a picture book to treasure. Dog is very badly behaved – he destroys everything, chases cars and won't stop running away! But when he finds himself lost and alone there is one person he can count on.
Witches and Fairies
Witches and fairies are different and, needless to say, they play different games. Witches play witches' games, like turning princes into frogs. And fairies play fairy games, like turning frogs back into princes. And, then there's Clotilda.
(This is so stunning, in both story and pictures. I fell in love with it the second I opened it)
Little Frog
When Little Frog drops into the lives of a very normal family chaos ensues.
(Its just hilarious)

Who am I? As French philosopher Vincent Descombes explains in his newly translated book, Puzzling Identities, this is a distinctly modern question. Of course, it looks simple enough. And so familiar are we today with the question of identity, the question of my identity, that we barely interrogate the meaning of the question.
But that is precisely what Descombes does in the first part of Puzzling Identities. He looks at how the question of identity – 'who is he?' – was originally little more than a third-person inquiry. It is the type of question the reader might well be asking now: who is Vincent Descombes? We can say that he was born in 1943. We can say he is a professor of philosophy at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris. We can say, too, that he is an author of several prized works, beginning with Le Même et l'Autre, which was published in English in 1980 as Modern French Philosophy. There are other biographical details which further identify Vincent Descombes as that Vincent Descombes. He studied philosophy and sociology at the Sorbonne in the 1960s, for instance, and, while there, he was a member of the anti-Stalinist Marxist group, Socialisme ou Barbarie.
So far, so Wikipedia. But the question of identity, the question of who someone is, has acquired a deeper, first-person sense. It is no longer simply the elementary question of us establishing who he or she is, from their name and date of birth, to their occupation and interests; it is also a moral-psychological question for me or you to attempt to answer for ourselves, a subjective project, an individual quest for that identity for which we want to be recognised, valued and esteemed. And as such, it is often a difficult, vexed question, one experienced by adolescents, for instance, as a problem as they struggle between the values of their parents and those, perhaps, of their peers, or better still, an 'identity crisis' to use the famous formulation of Erik Erikson, who plays such a prominent role in Puzzling Identities.
What happened?, I ask Descombes over email. How did 'who am I?', a question that, as he argues, wouldn't have made any sense to an Ancient Athenian or, indeed a Medieval peasant, come to be a defining question of the modern age, generating endless self-presentation on social media, and fuelling the ceaseless demand for recognition of who I am? What was it that prompted Oscar Wilde to predict that, while '"Know thyself" was written over the portal of the Antique world, over the portal of the new world, "Be thyself" shall be written'. Descombes' initial answer is pithy: 'Between Pericles and us, something took place: Christianity has been active. It has extended to all human beings without exception the concern for personal salvation.'
What distinguishes modern man from traditional man is his refusal to invest his literal identity with a normative function
Descombes is right, of course. Christianity did make the question of one's salvation or, indeed, damnation, a personal concern, a matter of outward devotion and inward faith. In Puzzling Identities, he cites Hegel from Outlines of the Philosophy of Right (1820): 'The right of the subject's particularity, his right to be satisfied, or in other words the right of subjective freedom, is the pivot and centre of the difference between antiquity and modern times. This right in its infinity is given expression in Christianity and it has become the universal effective principle of a new form of the world.'
Hegel's 'right of subjective freedom' is roughly equivalent to what we might think of today as individualism. It is the right of the individual to formulate and act upon his or her own conception of what he deems to be good - his 'right to be satisfied'. But the question of identity is more than that. It is a form of subjective freedom, but its object is not salvation, or even the good; its object is the self itself. In other words, it is the right of the individual to formulate his or her own conception of his or her self.
I ask Descombes to expand on the reasons for this development, beyond the advent of Christianity. His answer seems to rest on the changes that occur in the shift from the politically mediated relations operative under feudalism to the freer, economically mediated relations of capitalism. Or the 'great disembedding', as he calls it. His response is worth quoting in full:
'Just as [the philosopher] Charles Taylor does, I draw the idea of "the great disembedding" from Karl Polanyi's The Great Transformation (1944), where it applies to the fact that the economy has been conceived as an independent system, governed by its own laws and inherently able to find by itself its point of equilibrium. In Polanyi's thought, the transformation he is telling us about boils down to a differentiation between the domain of economy (a domain governed by natural laws) and the domain of politics.
'Now, Taylor gives to the term a new application by describing the modern individual as somehow "disembedded" from the social fabric in which he is born and has been raised. Here, Taylor is following the anthropologist Louis Dumont who, in From Mandeville to Marx (1977), integrated Polanyi's views into a general account of the process generating us, modern individuals, out of pre-modern human beings. Dumont points out that in Ancient times and during the Middle Ages, it was not impossible to become an independent individual, but that there was a price to pay for such an emancipation. The price to be paid at the time of the Roman Empire was becoming a paradoxical philosopher – such as the Stoics.

Antonelli College Hattiesburg campus received approval by the state of Mississippi to offer a Practical Nursing program
As the need for licensed practical nurses continues to grow, Antonelli College is one step closer to supplying the increasing demand in the Hattiesburg area. In June, Antonelli College received preliminary approval from the Mississippi Community College Board to offer a new Practical Nursing program at the Hattiesburg campus, which allows the college to begin enrolling students in the new program and to teach the program. The new program received preliminary approval based on the recommendation of a peer review team of Mississippi practical nursing educators, and will undergo an additional visit in the first year of operations in the process of seeking full accreditation.
Pending approval from its institutional accrediting agency, Antonelli College—Hattiesburg expects to open its doors to the first class of 20 practical nursing students this September. The new program will enroll up to a total of 55 practical nursing students annually with three class starts per year and occupy a dedicated space that includes a new nursing lab that is equipped with the latest nursing lab instructional equipment. Students who complete Antonelli College's 12-month program will receive a Diploma in Practical Nursing.
Antonelli College has hired Ms. Linda Shows, MS, BSN, RN, a seasoned practical nursing educator who has educated hundreds of Mississippi practical nurses, as a founding chair for the new program. "We are really proud of the work that Ms. Shows did in setting up the program, finding and hiring talented faculty, and putting together a great program advisory committee. Additionally, she has excelled at working with her colleagues from other practical nursing programs in the process of peer review of the program to implement their suggestions for making our nursing program even stronger," said Judy Edwards, Dean of Academic Affairs of Antonelli College—Hattiesburg. Ms. Edwards further noted the program's success in establishing clinical education agreements.
"With nurses in high demand, we are proud to be one of the schools in our area that will provide a quality education for nursing students," says Steve Bryant, Campus President. "We look forward to a long tradition of providing our local healthcare community with the quality practical nurses needed to serve the people of South Mississippi."
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment of licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses is projected to grow 25 percent for 2012 to 2022, which is significantly faster than the average for all occupations. As the baby-boom population ages, the overall need for healthcare services is expected to increase, making way for more LPN job opportunities in hospitals, physicians' offices, residential assisting-living facilities, and other healthcare settings. Additionally, there's a large anticipated number of currently employed LPNs who are facing retirement, which will create yet another area of employment opportunity in the upcoming decade. The job outlook for licensed and experienced LPNs, according to the BLS, is projected to be quite strong.

On a mini road trip we recently took. We stopped and Oscar took some pictures. These are our tiny pocket memories. I will probably not draw these. The photo is the memory and changing it would take away from why we stopped and took pictures of a rusted purple car in the first place.
Does anyone else out there ever take photos specifically to draw?
I think I just might print these and hang them on the Adventure wall (more about that later).

Start Talking
Today, PPLM Parent Education Program Manager Amy Cody shares a review of Start Talking. Read on for Amy's review, as well as to learn how to be one of two winners to receive a copy of Start Talking:
Start Talking is an engaging resource for mothers and daughters to help open the door to better communication about a variety of topics ranging from periods and sex to self-esteem and dating. According to authors Mary Jo Rapini (mother of two daughters, psychotherapist, and feature consultant on TLC's Big Medicine) and Janine Sherman (mother of two daughters, teen health expert, and OB/GYN nurse practitioner), the best time to talk to your teen daughter about sex and her body is right now. Starting at the age of 8 or 9, moms must begin having these conversations. They stress that by opening up now mothers can turn "the talk" into an ongoing conversation, and become a trusted resource for their daughters.
Teens today, more than ever, face a myriad of issues involving sex, sexuality, and body image. They need education, guidance, and support to make the right decisions at the right times. Between the internet, television, and grocery aisle tabloid magazines, Sherman says that tweens' and teens' primary sources of information about the female body is distorted at best, and potentially harmful at worst. Start Talking supports mothers in helping their daughters feel good about themselves and their bodies by helping to frame the conversation in a larger dialogue about health.
The book offers chapters on understanding menstruation, routine female health care, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), birth control, self-esteem and body image, eating disorders, and psychological health. The authors offer informative diagrams of how to do a breast self-exam and reproductive anatomy, sample conversation starters and "Table Talk" role plays on a variety of topics, and answers to 113 "typical" questions about teen health that they have heard through their own practices. In addition, the book includes an informative glossary of sexual health terms and a useful annotated bibliography of books, organizations, websites, and hotlines.
From my perspective as a sexuality educator who has presented workshops on sexual health to youth and their parents, I'd like to mention one note of disappointment in this book. I feel that Sherman and Rapini have missed an important opportunity to address the topic of sexual orientation in adolescents. The book tends to be heterosexist, with mention only of "boyfriend issues" in the glossary and references only to heterosexual attractions. According to the 2007 MA High School Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 9.2% of all students described themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual and/or reported same-sex sexual contact. All adolescents, regardless of their sexual orientation, deserve their parents' unconditional love, support, and acceptance and need appropriate factual information to make healthier, safer and better-informed decisions about their bodies and sexual health.
Congrats to winners Elizabeth and Catherine!

To be a gorgeous pop-music star with a powerhouse of a voice, to make gold albums, and to write great songs, like Carly Simon, you need to be able to rhyme tough words. Like pineapple. Or portrait.
Or Connecticut.
Can't think of any? Listen to Simon's latest album Spoiled Girl, specifically the chorus of ''The Wives Are in Connecticut'':
''The wives, the wives are in Connecticut/ Try to forget it, that they really do regret it/ That they moved up to Connecticut.''

Where a standard overflow doesn't quite do the job you need or it simply doesn't fit, this extended retainer bath waste is an ideal solution.
Extended Bath Waste Retainer
Featuring an extra long retainer overflow, this waste is easily able to fit into larger or more complicated bath fittings. It's also purpose design to fit slightly thicker baths, with this particular retainer bath waste able to be attached to any bath up to 20mm in density.

The design itself is stylish enough to compliment any modern bathroom. The chrome finished plug and link chain work extremely well with the brilliant finish on both the overflow inlet and bath waste itself. All in all this combines to create a highly complete and contemporary package capable of dealing with the everyday demands of a bath waste.
So for a practical extended retainer waste at an affordable price, why not get this great Home of Ultra model right here at Splash Direct.

This song is quite old but I remember listening to it so much when I was younger. It really takes me back and I seem to still know all the words, oops! Natalie has a lovely voice, great for easy listening, and if you like this I would recommend that you listen to her song, 'Shiver', another favourite of mine.
On their most recent album three of Paramore's songs were Interludes, they were all acoustic and played on the ukulele. I play the ukulele and love Paramore so loved this little addition to their album, which was amazing anyway. They are so cute and I love to listen to them in succession, as they are only short.
The Vaccines bring out one amazing album after another and '20/20' is from their most recent one, English Graffiti. This is such a catchy song, on an incredible album, and not one to be missed. The Vaccines are just as incredible live, as they are on CD. You can read my review of The Vaccines concert that I went to a few months ago here.
I discovered Dexy's by watching 'The Perks of Being A Wallflower', since then they have been one of my favourite bands and that has been one of my favourite films. I have been collecting Dexy's records for a while now and only discovered this song recently when I realised I hadn't listened to one of my records, this song blasted out and I have loved it ever since.
Just like everyone, well everyone I have ever met, I love Adele. All of her songs are beautiful and this one is no different, I don't really know what else to say. I can't explain how much I would love to see Adele in concert and hope one day to get a chance.
Love Holly x

We encourage you to visit www.avdc.org/AFD for detailed information for pet owners with facts and answers to your questions about anesthesia free dental cleanings.
Anesthesia-free pet dental cleanings, or as we refer to it Non Anesthesia Dental (NAD), is gaining popularity with an increasing number of dog and cat owners. These are well-meaning pet guardians who may be fearful of anesthesia or may not be able to afford professional veterinary dental care so they opt for anesthesia-free dentistry, but it is really just a cosmetic procedure that addresses only the parts of your pet's teeth you can see.
Why Anesthesia is needed for Dental Procedures?
A thorough oral exam and cleaning can't be accomplished on a pet that is awake. Anesthesia immobilizes your dog or cat to insure their safety and cooperation during a procedure. It allows for a thorough exam of all the surfaces inside the mouth and the taking of x-rays. Anesthesia is needed for scaling below the gum line where periodontal disease is most active. Anesthesia also provides pain control.
Non-professional dental scaling can potentially give pet owners a false sense of security about the state of their dog's or cat's oral health. Even though your pet's teeth – what you can see of them – may look clean and fresh after an anesthesia-free dental procedure, what you can't see is actually more important. Problems like plaque build-up below the gum line and gingivitis aren't addressed during a procedure that only scrapes and polishes the teeth. Most oral disease happens below the visible surfaces of your dog's or cat's mouth.
Many older dogs and cats that have undergone anesthesia-free dental procedures for years develop significant dental disease requiring multiple extractions as they age.

Make sure the connections to the battery are not loose.
Make sure any CEL's are fixed and properly diagnosed.
Check the spark plugs for abnormal colors, and replace as necessary.
Make sure to replace the spark plug wires if needed, and ignition coil too.
There's a host of other things todo so I'd search the internet for more solutions.
Also, tighten the gas cap...sometimes the car loses fuel pressure and can't regulate properly.
The more intricate things, like taking off the throttle body and cleaning it, or checking for proper spark at each plug, are reserved for more detail orientated people like mechanics, or me for instance.
You can check for vacuum leaks too, because they cause gremlins in cars...
If you don't know how to do any of these things, I highly recommend taking to someone who does.
Keeping your car running is of utmost importance I'm sure.
Hope something helped.
Thanks, im going to take it to auto zone and get a diagnostics before i do any thing.

Quick Reference
King of Babylonia, 721–710 bce, who sent diplomats to Hezekiah of Judah in the hope of securing support against the ruler of Assyria who had overthrown the Babylonian allies in 710 (2 Kgs. 20: 12–19). The embassy probably came to Jerusalem in 705, which was the year when Sennacherib succeeded Sargon on the Assyrian throne.
