Lofoten is on my must go list. I might end up riding the bike up there, but a summer cruise up there would be icing on the cake. Lots of pictures of that trip please!

Yes there will be pictures, and I share my adventures with the Åttring here: http://forum.woodenboat.com/showthre...eration-Bod%F8
First coat of paint, but I did not like the color. Its more yellow than in the photo. some irregularities need some filler too. Still a list of small tasks before launching. I guess in three weeks or so...

Hey Fred. You're getting there. Looks nice.
Are you working on this at your house or at another location?
Hope you have a great summer. Health issues and an ill mother-in-law are keeping me from our boat for far too long this year.
Yes family first. I always use my boats less then I plan too. Family, weather and other projects.
I work on my boat in the barn where I live. the next weeks I am spending watching paint dry.. 😁 still no real summer heat here so paint dryes slowly....

I decided to glue a piece of wood to mount the main sheet block properly in the center when using a boom. Turned it it was a nice pattern in it too 😊

Bottom up for the last time before splashing. The hull will not have a perfect finish, but I dont need it to look like a new plastic boat. To do list: One more coat of paint outside and two inside, warnish on transom and sheer, rigging, mounting rudder and benches and we are pretty close 😁

Love it. Beautiful work.
You're getting there Fred. It looks good.
Enjoy your weekend - Gary
One more week before splashing, but I let the Argie out of the shed to work on the rig. The mast support is only temporary until I find the right angle.

Well done. Looks great.
Looks great Fred! You can spend as much time getting a perfect finish as it does to build the hull, i cant say that im too fussed for my own boats, i quite like having a "human" factor obvious, rather than "mold". Looks like plenty of adjustment for mast rake there!
Looks good Fred. I finally made it to the boat in Bellingham for a couple of weeks of work before I can get back out here in July. Relocating the windlass for a better angle into the chain locker. Big job.
Looks like spring finally made it to Bodo. Enjoy.
Bellingham, was that the big plastic ocean sailer?
Average temperature the last weeks have been only 6-7 celsius here, but it slowly gets warmer, and the paint dries ok now :-)
Google maps tell me you have a long way to travel to do work on that boat...
Yes - a long two days drive with paradise at both ends. I stay a couple of months at a time.
Hope you have a great summer and all our plans are successful.
I think the sail looks ok, and I believe its got the right shape. Unstable weather today, and I am working on the reefing system, but the forecast looks good tomorrow, so the plan is to get it on water tomorrow 😁

Officially a new Argie 15 hit the water today. I am very satisfied. Specially thanks to Todd Bradshaw designing the rig! Very light wind today but we had a light breeze too, and it feels like a stable boat. My friend with the rudder.

Celebrating Earth Day is a great way to show that you care about the environment. From planting greenery to changing your driving habits, there are some easy ways to be eco-friendly. Started in 1970, Earth Day has since become an international event, celebrated every year on April 22nd. Read on to learn more about ways you can participate.
To begin with, according to wikiHow, one of the best things you can do is simply learn more about the environment. You can read articles to get up to speed on current events such as pollution, water quality, and more. Non-profit organizations and government websites are among the most credible sources, as well as academic articles.
Next, plant trees and other foliage. Greenery reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, and it also provides stability for soil and habitats for many animals. You can visit a local greenhouse or nursery to find trees that will survive best, and you should also consider planting wildflowers or vegetables. A small garden is a great way to help the environment while also saving money on produce.
Finally, you can help to improve air quality by changing your driving habits. Avoid speeding and rapid deceleration, as these can lower fuel economy. You should also have your car regularly serviced to improve performance and reduce emissions. Stop by Dan Young GM for regular repairs and maintenance, both of which can help the environment.

Fourth and Fifth Graders Ski Free in Michigan!
The Michigan Snowsports Industries Association (MSIA) and Michigan McDonald's restaurants want to give Michigan kids an opportunity to get out, have fun and get healthy this winter. This is why MSIA has established a state-wide program that provides every 4th and 5th grader the opportunity to ski for free. Students can obtain a "Cold is Cool" Ski & Ride Passport that gives them up to three free lift tickets or trail passes over 25 participating ski areas, plus additional discounts on the slopes and in Michigan ski shops. MSIA charges $20 for the passport (to cover printing and shipping.)
In addition to the lift tickets donated by the participating ski areas, the Cold is Cool Passport also includes a coupon for 20% off a helmet purchase and $20 off the purchase of $100 at participating ski shops across the state. Some ski areas have also included coupons for equipment rental and free or discounted lessons.
Proof of 4th or 5th grade status is required. One page of a report card or progress report is sufficient. If the child is home schooled, the parent or guardian can include a note stating the child's grade equivalent. Please note! Put your child's name and address in the "Ship To" column if you are ordering online.
MSIA charges $20 for the Cold is Cool Passport, to cover printing, shipping and postage fees.
In order for fourth & fifth graders to use the free lift or trail pass coupons, a paying adult must accompany them. "We feel that fourth and fifth graders should be supervised by an adult while on the slopes and trails. Our intention is to make this a fun, affordable and safe activity for the entire family," says Mickey MacWilliams, MSIA executive director. With the Passport, up to two kids can ski free with each paying adult. The Passport is valid through April 30, or the end of the 2017/18 ski season.
Want to see what the Passport looks like? Click here for a sample version. Be sure to check out all the special offers in the back too!
When you are ready to order, click the button below. It usually takes about a week to get your Passport.
Or, you can fill out this application and send (fax, email or mail) to MSIA.
You can also purchase a passport at a participating ski shop. Click here for a list of ski shops selling the Cold is Cool Passport.

The "Cold is Cool" Fourth & Fifth Grade Ski & Ride Passport is one of the elements of MSIA's "Cold is Cool" program, which is dedicated to improving the health of the children in our state by offering winter outdoor activities for all Michigan kids and their families. Plus, the Cold is Cool activities are endorsed by the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness, Health and Sports and they qualify for First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign.
Steve Kershner, MSIA chairman and director of skiing at Shanty Creek, says the association wants Michigan kids to have the opportunity to ski or snowboard. "Fourth and fifth graders are the perfect age to learn to ski. They have the coordination to pick up the sport quickly," he adds.
The Small Print! These are the rules and regulatons that are printed inside of each Cold is Cool Passport:
1.MSIA is providing only forth and fifth graders with a Cold is Cool Passport. The Passport is a non-transferable document which entitles the forth or fifth grader to whom it is issued (Holder) up to three complimentary children's one-day lift tickets and/or trail passes at each of the participating Michigan Alpine and Nordic ski areas during the 2017-2018 ski season (subject to the terms and conditions set forth below).
2.All participating ski areas reserve the right to withdraw from the program at any time, and all Passport offers are subject to availability.
3.The Passport may be used to obtain no more than one complimentary lift ticket per day.
4.The Passport or lift tickets obtained by the Passport may not be transferred or sold to any other person, including family members. MSIA will immediately revoke the Passport if holder transfers use of the Passport or any lift ticket or trail pass obtained with the Passport to another person.
5.The Passport may be used by the Holder only when accompanied by a paying adult. A maximum of two Passport Holders per each paying adult may obtain a complimentary one-day lift ticket.
6.MSIA will revoke and cancel a passport without notice for any misuse. Holders and their parents or legal guardians are responsible for proper use of that Passport at all times. In the event of passport misuse and cancellation, MSIA may recover damages to itself and/or participating resorts arising from Passport misuse, including reasonable attorney fees. All Passport Holders agree to comply with all rules and regulations of participating ski areas and with all other applicable laws and regulations.
7.MSIA reserves the right to modify or cancel the Program and all valid Passports at any time without notice. MSIA is not responsible for expenses incurred or opportunities forgone by cancellation or modification of the program.
8.If a Passport is lost or stolen, notify MSIA immediately. Participating resorts will not replace or assist with lost or stolen Passports. MSIA reserves the right to make case-by-case determinations concerning replacement of Passports.
9.All information in the application is subject to verification by and becomes the property of MSIA. Information provided by Passport applicants may be used by MSIA and others.
10.Passport is not valid without a photo placed on the inside front cover.

12.Passport is not valid with any other discount, including school programs, White Gold Card, or on the purchase of multi-day packages and is not redeemable in cash or trade. The passport is valid when the paying adult is a season pass holder at that particular ski area, except where noted on individual Lift Visas and Trail Visas in this booklet. Each ski area reserves the right to accept or deny passport use with a season pass.
13.MSIA and its partners, their subsidiaries, franchisees, employees, members, officers and agencies are not liable for any claims, demands, actions or causes of action on account of any injury to participants which may occur from any cause in participating in this promotional activity.

text: The PicoScope 2105 specifications indicate that the input impedance is 1 Mohm. However, I could not find the specification for the input capacitance. Is it similar to other oscilloscopes, say between 10 and 30 pF? In my opinion this is as important as the resistive impedance, so it should be stated in the specifications list.

This is a quick review of Gryphon CNC machine. This particular version is the 4 x 8 version, but they're all roughly the same, just lengths. We're really impressed with this, and we've run it since December, about 1,300 hours so far.
I thought I'd take a little bit of time since we're doing a new waste-board today. We'll talk about some of the features, some of the benefits we've had about this.
Obviously, the first is the price point. This machine came in thousands of dollars cheaper than it's competitors. While that worried us a little bit, we were excited to see some things after talking to Phil, who is the owner of the company. He takes care of us, and he's taken care of anything else that we've ever had any issues with.
The machine itself is made to slide out the side, which is the Y. It is the innards system, not belt or screw driven, so there's some accuracy that is increased because of that.
The gantry sits on top of what they call Gryphon rail, which is a really beefy extrusion, and there's two of them, so the deflection in the gantry is really quite minimum. We run this around 60 or 80 inches per minute or even faster depending on the wood or the type of material we're in, and the machine is really responsive. The electronics are also really quite good. In fact, we've never had any issues with it at all.
The stepper motors are quite powerful and beefy. It's really been a good production machine for us. Perfect for the hobbyist, sign company or somebody else that wants to get a certain size down. They make them in various different lengths and widths. If you're looking for a CNC, I can tell you that this is a fantastic cnc machine.

Something a bit different…
The hair I am about to review is Brazilian Hair loose wave (click to get 25% off of your next purchase), and I have four bundles of 22 inches as well as a lace closure in each . I used a whole three bundles, and I had about 30 inches left of my fourth bundle. I thought I was going to run out because I was building the tracks and the longer the hair is the shorter the tracks are. I thought I was going to run out at the top, but I just made it and had some left over. If you want your hair really bold you would obviously add that, but since this is curly hair it already looks full, so you don't need that many bundles. I think with this hair if you were not to build the tracks up, just go row by row. I think you could get away with three bundles. Just because this hair is thick and it'll look nice and full.
I want to talk about the feel of the brazilian hair. I personally feel like Brazilian hair feels very silky, and this hair doesn't feel silky. It kind of reminds me Malaysian hair. I did a review for Peruvian hair that was silkier than this, but I don't know if it was because it was body waved. This hair has more of a coarser feel to it which is nice. I guess it's peoples preferences if they like silkier hair or not. I really do like the hair. The curl pattern is so, so, so, pretty. It looks like, straight out of the packaging, you know how when you flexi rod your hair. Your hair comes out straight out of a flexi rod. That's what the hair looked like straight out of the packaging. This is the hair straight out of the packaging. No product. No washing. All I did was put water on the top so that I could part it the way I wanted it too. Otherwise, no product at all, and I love curly hair that doesn't need a lot of maintenance.
I did not dye this hair at all. This is 1B, and I didn't cut any layers in it. This is where 22 inches lands on me. I think this is a good length. I don't think I would have liked it if it was any longer. I am 5'2, and I don't wear extremely long hair on me. I just think it looks a little odd. It's really, really, full, and as far as blending on the top. I took out a little bit of my brazilian hair hair. Just put some gel down, and just twisted it with this hair. Say you wanted to make a u-part or you wanted to leave a lot of hair out. I definitely think that if you guys flexi rod your hair with this hair, I think it'll blend it perfectly. This is one of those textures that I don't think will be hard to match with your own natural hair. I just really-

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
NB: I'm doing a very low calorie diet (VLCD).
But only an idiot would take me as a role model – I mean, I run with scissors and consider Lego earrings a valid style statement. So don't be an idiot – talk to your doctor before trying this or any diet.
It's still dark outside. I step off the scales and let the digits roll back to zero. Then I dry my eyes and leave for work.
It's my week 6 weigh-in day and I'm the same weight I was in week 5. Which is the same weight I was in week 4.
My rapid weight loss diet has plateaued for a fortnight.
It's understandable, I think. Last week I didn't lose weight because I came off the diet to go to that party. And this week I've been laid up with a shivery, achy virus. Figuring that my starveling, hormonal body is probably hanging onto every spare calorie, I've been adding in a daily low-carb meal until I'm better.
And the odd glass of wine. And occasional chunks of cheese and chorizo nibbled straight from the fridge.
[rather unhelpfully for you, editing this post is making me REALLY HUNGRY. Sorry. --Rebecca]
A prickle of fear travels up my spine as I get to the office. Have I been sabotaging myself again? I quell the thought immediately and tell myself that it's fine. I'll cut out the daily meal, knock the mindless snacking on the head, and the weight will DROP off. It'll be fine. It's fine.
Then I sit down at my desk and eat three VLCD meal bars in a row. You're only meant to have one a day.
Because it's not fine. I've failed. All I had to do on this FUCKING diet was eat three things out of a packet every day, and I couldn't do that without binge-eating in the most aggressively Waitrose-shopping, Yottam Ottolenghi-loving, Guardian-reading way possible.
I mean, CHEESE, CHORIZO AND WINE? Sure, it's all ketosis-friendly, but it's still calorific. And where will it end? Will I just keep gorging on pancetta and foie-gras until I explode in an orgy of pig fat and heart disease?
At lunchtime I consider asking for advice on the VLCD forums, but worry that seeing other people's giant weekly losses will upset me. Instead I curdle in self-loathing all day.
In the evening, though, as I cough and shiver on the sofa, watching Game of Thrones, two things occur to me.
1. I might not be thinking COMPLETELY straight. Case in point: my immediate response to feeling too cold wasn't to fetch a jumper from my bedroom. It was to GO ONLINE AND BUY A PASHMINA. On next-day delivery. Maybe I'm still unwell.
2. I've basically spent the last few hours whispering tearful goodbyes to my wardrobe of lovely smaller-sized clothes, and mentally resigning myself – like an unwilling novice nun – to a life in a body that malfunctions under the strain of its own weight. BECAUSE OF ONE SETBACK. That's so melodramatic that I may as well be a Game of Thrones character myself.
So I decide to get a hold of myself:
1. I knock the wine, cheese and chorizo on the head, but I FORGIVE myself for it – because it wasn't a LOT, because WINE IS ACTUALLY WELL DELICIOUS – and because I'm ILL.
2. I stick a monthly calendar to my fridge, so I can mark off the days as I complete them, and count down to the end of my diet. I also write my weekly losses (4.2lbs, 3.3lbs, 3.9lbs – that's 1.9kg, 1.4kg and 1.7kg) in big red letters, to remind myself of what I've achieved.
3. I splurge out my worries without punctuation or propar grammor on the VLCD forums. Immediately several supportive replies pop up, from people who've being doing this diet FOREVER – through losses, slip-ups and personal crises. And they're still there. And they're still losing. And they say that if they can do it, I can do it, too.
I am humbled and inspired. One forum user has this slogan in their signature: 'IF HUNGER ISN'T THE PROBLEM, FOOD ISN'T THE SOLUTION'
I'm struck by what an excellent point this is. Wine wasn't the solution when the problem was illness (although it was nice). Self-flagellation isn't the solution when the problem is lack of self-belief. And giving up isn't the solution to anything.
So, I will continue – onwards and downwards. After all…
… winter is coming.

2011 is going to be a great year in terms of colour. From piquant oranges and honeysuckle pinks to deep russet and rustic lavender, we'll be seeing some very inspiring combinations this year! Below are some of our new favourites. What do you think?
Pink champagnes accented with a touch of gold may be an old classic but we still love it. Weave in accents of taupe and beige for a fresh contemporary feel, while softer pink and cream details create a dreamy, vintage look.
Poppy red had its moment in the spotlight this fall, but orange will be gaining traction this year. Consider it the new red. A versatile yet often-overlooked colour (we love carrot or saffron), it creates an inviting, sun-kissed venue, perfect for Autumn. Mix it with aged gold tones or earthy yellow, or balance the vibrant palette with a touch of mocha or taupe for a truly modern look.
Of course, we had to include celadon because it is a lot like our signature colour here at The Wedding Company! This pretty understated hue with its green and blue undertones, is in fact a very traditional wedding color and perfect for spring weddings! Juxtapose it with lemon yellow for an unexpected twist or play it safe and pair it with classic white or ivory. This creamy mint is a surefire way to lend elegance to your big day.

Hailing from the prestigious Christian Oth Studio in New York is our latest partnering photographer, Alison Mayfield. Having trotted all over the globe (she's now based in Phuket!) and met people from all walks of life, the Australian native has sharpened a candid, unobtrusive style that is very popular with our brides. Her vast range and skill in wedding photography promise that every poignant moment of the big day is ably captured, and every emotion beautifully preserved. See more of her work here or call The Wedding Company at +852 2869 4222 to view her portfolio. Take a look at our recent interview with Alison.
Your recently moved to Phuket, how do you like your new town? Why did you leave the Big Apple?
Phuket is so magical! I love this place! New York City is also a magical place in a different way, so much energy! But I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to relocate out here in Southeast Asia and I was so excited to see new things and be inspired by a new part of the world. There are many amazing countries to see and explore, so why not!
What are 3 words that describe your style?
Romantic, intimate and timeless!
What about your work as a wedding photographer do you love most?
That's a tough one as there is so much that I love about shooting weddings! Being with people on such an important day of their lives, I get such a deep insight to who they are, as individuals and a couple, and I really enjoy expressing that through my photographs. Every wedding is so different as people are, and that is always exciting for me.
How do you parlay your extensive travel experience and expertise in sports and fashion photography into wedding photography?
The sports photography trained me to react to moments quickly, which is so important for weddings! The one-off moments happen constantly all day and I need to be fast to catch these moments. The experience that comes with working with one of the top fashion photographers in the world is endless, but in regards to weddings, it's especially important to see how to make people look their best. Everybody has a good angle! I constantly gain inspiration from fashion magazines, as I strive to shoot my bridal portraits in this way.
How does the energy of destination weddings differ from those held closer to home?
The energy of destination weddings is a little different. I find it more relaxed as the guests are all on holiday and usually the couple has been on holiday already for a week or so! It feels a little more festive in that respect.
Both places, close to home or destination, always have the energy of celebration and happiness that comes from a group of people that maybe haven't seen each other (and altogether!) in a long time. It really is special!
With such an international clientele, how do you know what each couple is looking for?
Every couple is different, especially coming from different countries. From the early stages of the wedding, I am in contact with the bride and groom about their specific needs and wants for the day, and how best we can achieve them. The one thing that remains the same with all of my clients is their love for "the new school" wedding photography. That means photography that mixes in the romance, beauty, photojournalism, documentary, landscapes, timeless images all into one, without the forced uncomfortable posing that comes with the old-style art of wedding photography.
We love your black-and-white wedding shots. When do you prefer black-and-white over colour?
I love the digital era! Thanks to the advent of amazing digital cameras, I can choose during post-production which images I would like to change to black-and-white. I feel that there is a certain timeless beauty to black-and-white photography. Images that might have a busy background or beautiful light streaming through a window are enhanced in black-and-white, but then there are some scenes which scream color, such as turquoise water against the beach, or the bright colors of city lights!
Do you have a favourite wedding photo that you had taken yourself?
Yes, my favorite shot so far is one of my brides walking her dog before heading off to the wedding. It actually won first place in a highly regarded photography industry competition in the U.S., and was chosen to appear on the cover of PDN magazine. The best part about the image is the moment was not set up or staged — it just happened and I captured it. I am forever looking around at weddings and I never stop shooting! I love challenging myself to capture every moment the best I can!

You recycle, bring your own bag and take public transport, so why not integrate your practices when planning your wedding day?
Well, we bring this up because we had a crash course in green weddings the other day, learning all about greenhouse gases and carbon offsets when we met up with Carbon Care Asia, staffed full of sustainability experts and committed to reducing our carbon footprint with three re-forestation projects in China. If you're interested, come and chat with them at the upcoming InterContinental Wedding Showcase, a luxury wedding fair with over 40 vendors on Sunday, 6th March 2011 at InterContinental Hong Kong.
The Green Bride Guide says "A green wedding is any wedding where the couple tries to decrease the impact of their event on the planet – and there are many ways to do it without sacrificing style or elegance! Green weddings are eco-chic, which means they are every bit as gorgeous as conventional weddings, but without the waste. And, amazingly enough, going green can save you money. Every part of a wedding has eco-friendly options worth considering, and, there's a shade of green for everyone."
Obviously, the most important part of going green is reducing your carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions. There are a number of simple ways you can do that, such as:
1. Finding a florist who's diligent about recycling packaging and who will source locally produced flowers (no hydrangeas from Holland for you!) or even potted plants that guests can bring home..
2. Choosing a locally grown menu (no, we don't grow shark's fin so that should definitely be OFF the menu!). Even hotels such as Grand Hyatt Hong Kong and InterContinental Hong Kong have come up with a more environmentally friendly menu, you need only to ask.
3. Buying carbon credits through Carbon Care Asia, thus making the event a Carbon Neutral Event (having little or no carbon impact on the environment). We are all for that! Off-setting 3 tonnes of carbon (more than what you will emit at an average banquet) only costs as little as $1,250 HKD.
4. Printing your invitations on recycled,handmade or seeded paper using soy-based inks. Reduce paper use, by sending a postcard (instead of multi-enveloped notes) for your save-the-date, or using online invitations and a wedding blog to let people know about the rehearsal dinner, gift registry and RSVP.
5. Donating leftover food to the needy and encouraging your guests to take the floral decorations home or donating them to a hospital to brighten up their environment!
These are just the tip of the iceberg, there are many other ways and if you are keen, visit The Green Bride Guide online which has everything you need from articles and photos to tips and advice to plan a 'Green Wedding'.
Above photos www.herecomestheblog.com
Here's the rest of our Q&A with Lisa B! If you've missed the first half, you could find it here.
How do you usually prepare for your work on the big day? Do you find the need to get to know your clients' personalities?
For Hong Kong weddings, I don't have to visit the venues because I have already shot in them dozens of times. I do like to meet the couple at least once before the wedding, but I believe having those few hours of preparation on the morning of the wedding when the bride is having her hair done allows us time to warm up to one another and for me to find their best angles before the actual ceremony. I really wouldn't change the way I shoot according to their personalities, though; I am merely there to capture them.
I get a good night's sleep before a wedding shoot and have lots of recharged batteries and a big breakfast — those are the only things I need to prepare! I will ask the couple for a run-down/schedule of the day and a list of the group shots they require and any particulars that would be impossible for me to know they would like, such as a close-up of Great Granny's miniature porcelain shoes on the wedding cake!
Which parts of the wedding day do you most love to shoot?
It's very hard to say which parts I love to shoot most! Perhaps the speeches — there is so much emotion that comes from the speeches. And the tea ceremony — my eyes completely well up when I see the bride and her mum and dad cry, and even the groom, too — it's very emotional and I love it. The wedding ceremony itself is a great part as well but a bit more nerve-racking for me, as I am aware that I am in full view of everyone, and it's not so easy to hide because you want to get close enough to capture close-ups of the ring exchange and the kiss, not to mention usually having to battle your way through hordes of videographers and uncles and aunts with their cameras! I love the moment when the bride walks in with her dad and the look on the groom's face. I also love the first dance and the guests going crazy on the dance floor. I guess I love it all!
Your subjects always look so much at ease and unsuspecting in your photos. Is there a trick that you use to banish wedding jitters and to put them in their comfort zones?
I think I can figure out the subject very quickly when I am photographing them. Some people love to be photographed and tease the camera and I will let them play up to that. But with subjects that are more shy, I will wait patiently until they stop noticing me so that I could photograph more discreetly. I use really long lenses so that I am never in anyone's face. But some people like to get close to the camera and that's fun too. I'll just go with the flow and do the best I can with whatever situation I am presented. Flexibility is the key word here. Even if the subject is more reserved, after a while he or she will warm up to me, and even the shyest of couples are eventually pouting and flirting with the camera… or maybe it's because of the champagne! I think having been a fashion model for ten years and knowing what it's like to be on the other side of a camera have helped me — I know the worst possible thing to say to a camera-shy person is, "Relax!!"
True or false: "Less is more."
Depends on what it is. Not with wedding cakes! More is definitely better. But fewer uncles with cameras on a wedding day is definitely preferred!

The new dimension in spark plug technology. Iridium is a high-tech precious metal used in aerospace applications, with a rainbow shimmer. It is extremely hard, heat resistant and mechanically resilient - in short, the ideal material for a spark plug. That makes the new NGK iridium spark plug with its valuable precious metal a good investment - which pays back in the long run: lower fuel consumption, longer life, even combustion, no dropouts, no misfires, no soot formation in stop-and-go traffic.

Jon Flanagan has revealed he is close to agreeing a new long-term deal with Liverpool.
Flanagan's current agreement with the Reds expires next summer and boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to tie the defender down with a new contract.
Flanagan, 21, broke through into the first team last season, making 23 starts in the Premier League.
The right-back was handed his first England cap by Roy Hodgson in June and Rodgers is keen to reward him for his progress.
Flanagan, who hopes to return after the international break from the knee injury he suffered in pre-season, said: "There have been some talks and I should be signing a new contract soon.
"It would be a reward for all the hard work I've put in. It would be great for me and great for my family as well.
"All I've ever wanted is to play for Liverpool and I want to stay here for as long as I possibly can."

CSI has been working on the ground in Sudan since 1995 to liberate Christians and other non-Muslims forced into slavery by Islamist militiamen armed and directed by the Khartoum regime. Working through a local underground network, we have rescued tens of thousands of people from slavery. Still, thousands remain in bondage – over 35,000 according to a Sudanese government official.
Slavery in Sudan was revived in 1983, when the Arab Muslim government of Sudan began using slave raids as a weapon in its war to put down Southern rebellion against the government's imposition of Islamic law. The government armed Arab Muslim militia groups, and encouraged them to raid Southern villages, steal their property, and take their women and children as slaves. Tens of thousands of people were captured and enslaved.
In 1995, CSI teams discovered a local network of Africans and Arabs working together to help retrieve some of those abducted into slavery. With CSI's assistance, this indigenous Underground Railroad grew into a sophisticated network that has managed to liberate tens of thousands of people.
Meet one of our slave retrievers.
A peace treaty in 2005 put an end to the slave raids, and paved the way for the south to become an independent country in 2011. However, the treaty provided no way home for those already enslaved. Today, CSI continues working to bring these people home.
Our liberation mission depends on supporters like you. You can help rescue a person from slavery today! Click HERE to donate.
Slave Stories
Ayak Piol Mabior (Liberated February 2014)
People tell me I am from Nyamlell in South Sudan, but I don't remember it. I lived in Joushier, in Darfur. My baby is named Achuil.
When I was abducted, my father was killed in front of me. They slit his throat with a knife. Then the attackers took me, my mother and my siblings to the North. I had three older sisters and two brothers. Both my brothers died. One of them was beaten to death on the way to the North. I don't know why the other one died, but he was very small – still nursing. Once we arrived, we were separated from each other.
I was taken to Mammud's house. He mistreated me. Even though I was small, he beat me on my chest and back. I still can't lift heavy things because of it. He raped me, even though I was a small girl. I tried to resist, but he sliced my left breast with a knife, and then did it anyway… Read More

Product Description
Soul Purpose: Awaken Your Perfect Self
by Kent D Schuette
There is something profound happening in the world of science, the healing arts and religion. We are on the dawn of a new age of awakening. You and I are living at a time of revelation, a time when the reality of who we really are and what we are made of is coming into focus. Science and theology are beginning to meld into a cohesive new paradigm, one that opens the door to possibilities that were once thought only to be science fiction. This new science recognizes that we are more than just a biological fluke made up of flesh and bone, nerves and tissue. We are in essence the three dimensional container of a soul. Our soul is the essence of who we are. It is the animator of our life. Soul Purpose, Awaken Your Perfect Self is a series of eight lessons which incorporates what the message of this new science is indicating; that we have access to the wisdom of the Creator of the universe and by accessing this wisdom we can change the reality of our life experience. We can change our health, our relationships, our careers, virtually everything in our life. Our souls are the pathway to this eternal wisdom and the vehicle to unleashing this life changing power.

Climate Care Delivers One Million Tonnes of Offsets
The UK's leading carbon offset provider Climate Care, who earlier this week became the focus of protesters from climate camp, has released a statement announcing a major milestone — 1 million tonnes of offsets sold. That, says the company's founder Mike Mason, is like taking 300,000 cars off the road for a year. He also used the opportunity to respond to critics of offsets:
"This highlights the real impact that voluntary funding of credible carbon offsets can have in delivering actual emissions reductions. If we are in a hurry to tackle climate change, and we need to make real reductions quickly, voluntary offsets need to be recognised as a core part of everyone's reductions strategy. However, the huge contribution that this market can make to both reducing global warming and to improving the lives of millions in the third world, is now under threat from a combination of insensitive regulation by government and persistent negative media. For many, the concern has been that buying offsets achieves nothing more than clear consciences, which our delivery milestone clearly shows is not the case. This landmark achievement is simply the beginning, with next years sales expected to fund reductions equivalent to an impressive 1% of the entire UK's annual carbon footprint."
The company also pointed out that the reductions achieved by Climate Care have come at a time when the UK's overall emissions have risen — by 4.6 million tones a year for the last ten years. Climate Care puts it this way:
"Clearly the success of the voluntary offset market needs to be recognised if we
really want to deliver the reductions needed to secure a sustainable future for
ourselves and our children. Government policy has delivered an increase, the
voluntary market has delivered a reduction "
Anyone wanting to learn more about offsets, and how to make sure they really are part of an overall emissions reduction strategy, should check out our guide on How to Green Your Carbon Offsets.::Climate Care::via site visit::

3 Makeup Looks Inspired by My Favorite Albums of 2016
Since I'm a visual person I hardly ever remember the album title but I just remember what the album art looks like.
It's easy to find decent lipstick in colors like red, pink, and even purple and orange. However, once you start to venture into weirder territory with colors like blue and black and yellow, it gets harder.
To save you from having to scramble last minute to find that one weird lipstick color that will complete your costume this Halloween, I made this handy list of my favorite out-there lipsticks.
If you don't have a costume idea yet, you may be able to get some inspiration from this list. Who says you can't base a Halloween costume off of your lipstick?
Best Gold: NYX Wicked Lippie in Mischievous
I wish gold lipstick was more of a thing because I love wearing it. This one from NYX is affordable and fairly opaque. I love the way it makes my lips look like they're coated in gold leaf.
This lipstick could make an interesting choice for a Cleopatra costume, or any glamorous costume.
I guess you could use this lipstick for your sexy Minion costume. I don't know. I'm just saying, if you need a yellow lipstick this Halloween this is a really good option: it's affordable and it goes on surprisingly opaque. NYX is reliable like that.
Obviously, it's not a flattering color on me at all, but I wasn't expecting that from a yellow lipstick anyway.
I knew I had to choose one really dark, wine-colored lipstick for those of you going as vampires or witches or whatever. I've had this Topshop Beauty lipstick for ages, and it's long been a favorite. It's semi-glossy, smells delicious, and can be worn sheer or built up for lots of pigment.
I was surprised to find that Illamasqua has a ton of interesting lipstick colors to choose from. Underworld is one of my three favorites, although I have to say it seems hilariously misnamed. It's a hot pink, but not just any hot pink. It has an iridescent sheen that's kind of hard to describe and photograph, but absolutely gorgeous in person.
I never wear this type of pink lipstick, but I love it in the tube, even if I don't wear it out much. If you're going as a Barbie or anything super-girly, this is the perfect choice.
This is another one of Illamasqua's offbeat color offerings; the perfect dark blue lipstick. It's matte, so it can be a little drying, and I'll tell you right now it's not easy to apply it perfectly; it takes time, patience, and a steady hand. Perservere, however, and you'll have the most amazing blue lips.
What's a Halloween lipstick roundup without black lipstick?
I used to have a black lipstick from the Wet 'n' Wild Fergie collection but I have no idea what happened to it. Instead, I've replaced it with this one (although if your budget only allows for Wet 'n' Wild, I did just see an awesome Wet 'n' Wild Halloween collection in Target this week that has a black lipstick).
Pristine is a creamy but semi-matte black that is satisfyingly opaque. This lipstick has me thinking I can pull off wearing black lipstick all the time.
So this is actually a lip gloss, not a lipstick. Pfft, semantics (although Sigma does offer a lot of great lipstick colors as well; Tamara covered some of them). Other-Worldly is a clear gloss with the prettiest iridescent finish you've ever seen. On its own, it'd be a great finishing touch for any magical, ethereal costume such as a fairy.
You can also layer it on top of other colors for a fun effect. Check out how it changed my look from Glinda the Good Witch to the Wicked Witch of the West in two seconds flat when I layered it on top of Pristine!
This oil slick effect is insane; I couldn't stop staring at my own lips. Of course it changes and fades throughout the night, so I'd suggest bringing the lip gloss with you for touch-ups.

2014-15 RSPL taking shape
The 2014-2015 Red Stripe Premier League round 14 is finished and the teams have already established themselves in three groups. The top four teams from last year - Waterhouse FC, Montego Bay United (MBU), Arnett Gardens FC, and Harbour View FC - are the top four teams, and based on current form, pedigree, and the deep squads of these teams, they are definitely the favourites to advance to this year's play-off stages again.
It is whispered that Waterhouse are the Galacticos of local football as even former national players and invitees have been told to ply their trade elsewhere as they boast the likes of Romario Campbell, Jermaine 'Tuffy' Anderson, Richard McCallun, Nicholy Finlayson, Upstand Edwards, Hughan Gray, Damerly Samuels, Tremaine Stewart, and many more young national Under-20 players waiting in the wings for opportunities.
Montego Bay United, on the other hand, have Leslie St Fluer, Dino Williams, Allan Ottey, and Moreicio Gordon, one of the best attacks in the island. They have not, for the first or second time, employed a foreign coach to guide them to a second title in two years.
This squad has been together for the past three years. MBU's Orville Powell, whose playing arena, Wespow Park (which was named after himself), consists of two training pitches, a match pitch, numerous cottages to house players, a stream running through the premises, and a go kart track. Did I mention a pool, a gym, and a concrete multipurpose court? Whew!
Arnett Garden seem to have a factory of talent that just springs up every day in that community and appears to be back on track, winning their last four matches to put them in the top four, hanging out players like Kirk Ramsay and Marcelino Blackburn to dry.
Harbour View need no introduction. Ever since they sold Ricardo Gardener for a cool reported £1,000,000 in 1998 to Bolton Wanderers, they have been regarded as the most organised club in the country, always having a fearsome unit, although thay have been on the wane in recent years. These four teams are the real contenders for the RSPL title and Bleachers Report (BR) expects the winners to come from this category.
Cavalier, early leaders of the league for about nine rounds (the chik-V rounds), and Tivoli Gardens FC - the reluctant entrants this year after the Honourable Edward Seaga expressed doubts about the team's participation in this year's edition of the Premier League, citing financial concerns - make up the list of the pretenders with enough quality to crash the party and qualify for the play-offs.
Cavalier are not expected to win as they field the youngest team in the Premier League. This team looks like a project for future years. Tivoli pack much more experience and have made some good acquisitions like former Waterhouse FC standout Weston Forrest to shore up their midfield, which already includes Keammar Daley.
Sporting Central and Rivoli United complete the list of pretenders that could surprise as on their best days, they can upset the big boys but maybe too inconsistent to make the play-off round.
Last but not least, the four teams that will be drawn in the relegation dogfight will be Humble Lions, Boys' Town, Barbican, and Reno FC. Next week, BR will deal in detail with which team will go down.
Second coaching casualty
In the meanwhile, Junior Francis, who coached Waterhouse in the first part of the season last year, has become the second coaching casualty of this year's Premier League. Vice-president Chris James has stated that the results were not good after Barbican amassed 10 points from 12 games and it could not continue. Francis was seen watching his former club draw 1-1 with Humble Lion last Sunday at the Drewsland mini-stadium. The first casualty was the separation of Craig Butler from Humble Lion in November. Who will be the third casualty? BR will tell you next week.

Oct 17, 2013 | Yahoo Mail
Aug 24, 2013 | Computers & Internet
Windows Live Hotmail allows users to view attachments within a Web browser or save them to the system's hard drive.
If Hotmail can't open an attachment, the problem lies with an incompatible file format or Hotmail's automatic blocking service.
You may need new software installed on your computer IE: adobe . direct x , zip for opening unfamiliar formats, while blocked files are permanently inaccessible from within Hotmail.
Accessing these files requires action by the sender or forwarding the file to a different email client.
Incompatible File Format
Occasionally a sender may attach a file that simply doesn't work with any software you have installed on the system.
Attempting to open the attachment will result in a "Windows cannot open this file" message or similar error display.
Many programs use very specific file formats that don't operate with most other software, such as Photoshop's PSD image files or Microsoft PowerPoint's PPT files.
Ask the sender to convert the file to a more widely compatible format, or install the appropriate software on the system to open the attachment.
Blocked Attachments
Hotmail blocks attachments it believes may contain unsafe or otherwise malicious code.
This includes any and all executable file types, including MSI, EXE, HTML, STC and COM files, along with many others.
Attachments blocked in this way result in a "Windows Live Hotmail has blocked some attachments" message when viewing the email.
While this service does block many real threats to system security, Hotmail may occasionally deny access to an item from a trusted sender.
Unfortunately, these files become permanently inaccessible once blocked by Hotmail, and accessing them requires using a workaround outside the Hotmail application.
Only attempt to access attachments you trust as safe.
Forward Workaround
While Hotmail cannot open blocked attachments, it allows users to forward the message with the blocked file still attached.
Send the file to a different email client, and open the attachment using that account instead.
Note other clients may have different security measures, but some will still block access to executable files and other potentially harmful data.
Compression Workaround
Ask the sender to package the attachment into a ZIP, RAR or other compressed file format before attaching.
Hotmail will not block any file type located inside a compressed archive.
Both Windows and OS X can create compressed ZIP files, and free utilities such as Zipeg and 7-Zip can create many other types of archives as well.
Some email clients, such as Gmail, will not allow users to send some file formats, even when packaged into an archive file.
Hope this helps

A ceremony was held Tuesday at the Museum of Art and Archaeology to celebrate acquisition of five art pieces from the Marquis Carl Landrum Trust, comprised of the art collection of Mark Landrum.
Landrum, a Columbia resident from a banking family who founded Landmark Bank, died in 2012. His sister, co-trustee Brenda Bingham, attended the gift announcement at the Pickard Hall museum, along with museum director Alex Barker and representatives of Landmark Bank, which has 41 locations in three states. Since 1994 until his death, Landrum was Landmark's majority owner.
Over decades, the banking mogul collected hundreds of works by Midwest and Italian artists, antiquities and ethnographic artifacts, and contemporary ceramics.
"He loved his books, his music and his art," Bingham said.
He was also a philanthropist, giving many artworks to universities during his life. In 2009, Landrum gave MU 30 art pieces, Barker said.
After his death, Landrum wanted his remaining collection distributed to some of his favorite universities in communities served by his banks; to his alma mater, Yale; and to the University of Oklahoma, where Landrum's close friend, David Boren, is president. MU, alma mater of Landrum's father, Carl, received the final five pieces of Landrum's collection, coming from the family home in Santa Barbara, Calif.
The pieces are:
• An English Refectory Table. The table is from the 17th or 18th century and bears the wear of 200 years of use, which gives it an artistic quality. "It has acquired a patina of service and the gentle curve of the long boards tells a tale of food-laden platters and heavy jugs of wine," Deborah Thompson, a partner at Thompson Fine Art Services, said in an interview; the Harrisburg, Mo., firm was an art consultant to Landrum.
• Three ceramic pieces by Jun Kaneko, a Japanese artist living in Omaha, Neb. The pieces are titled 6' Dango (2004), Egyptian King (1998) and Egyptian Queen (1998).
• The marble sculpture Lounge (2001) by Richard Deutsch, a California artist. Deutsch is known for his abstract sculptures that, through scale and form, suggest an interrelationship with the viewer.
With the art and archaeology museum beginning its move to Mizzou North on Sept. 30, it is not known when the pieces will be publicly displayed, Barker said.
Landrum's collection was eclectic, Thompson said.
"Unlike many collectors," she said, "he did not limit himself to a single category, movement or culture but prized works of complexity that were laden with meaning and objects that were simply beautiful in line, form and color."
Bingham said the collection was an extension of Landrum's world travels, taste for clean lines and minimal decoration, and interest in history and certain artists.
His displaying art at some of Landmark Banks, including those in Columbia, was a way of giving back. "He wanted to expose people in rural America to fine art," Bingham said.
But now the Landrum trust collection is no more, scattered across America to a handful of teaching university museums so students and others can enjoy and learn more about art, history and culture.
"Giving things away is always a pleasure and lots of fun," Bingham said.

In the late 1990s, representatives from Adobe approached Jerry Uelsmann, master of darkroom manipulation, to ask if he would be interested in working with their new program, Photoshop. With help from someone who knew the program, Uelsmann produced an image for the company, but he wasn't swayed by the new technology, and promptly went back to working the way he always had, combining fragments from different negatives into a single images using multiple enlargers, dodging and burning his way to the surreal, poetic compositions he's made since the 1950s.
But Maggie Taylor, Uelsmann's wife, was intrigued by what she saw Photoshop do, and began using it to build images that layer scans of objects and nineteenth century photographs, combining and manipulating them into compositions that are more whimsical than her husband's, but with a similar dreamlike quality. "Other Realities/Divergent Paths: Montages by Jerry Uelsmann and Maggie Taylor," on view at The Eleanor D. Wilson Museum at Hollins University in Roanoke, Virginia until April 24, shows their work side by side, highlighting the similarities and differences in their styles and concerns. (Also included in the show is a documentary about their work, Jerry Uelsmann & Maggie Taylor: This is Not Photography, in which they describe how they work and what inspires them.) Seen together, Taylor and Uelsmann's work suggests a dialogue in which separate voices trade ideas. Writes the Museum in a statement, "The difference in feel between the black and white work of Uelsmann and the color-filled work of Taylor is distinct; seen alongside each other, however, their photographic montages share symbolism and attributes suggesting mystery, introspection, and change."

text: I bet that someone has made it already and it's probably very easy but I don't know that much about PHP to do it on my own. So I'm looking for a script that captures form submit value and saves it as a list in .txt file If it's possible to save more info like IP it'd be even better. This is for Email list building. I don't want to use getresponse or aweber or whatever to make my list. When it comes to mailing it's a different question. Maybe database would do a better job?

I have been using RadRails as my editor for Ruby development. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. I'm experiencing a couple of path problems though when using it. Inside of my project within RadRails I will have a directory structure that looks similar to this. +MyProject ++src +++src_sub_directories ++props ++output ..misc files RadRails then treats all files within the src directory as if those files exist directly within the MyProject path. Instead of being treated as ./MyProject/src/foo.rb it is treated as ./MyProject/foo.rb. This affects all relative paths. Then we I "release" my application all of the paths are broken because the actual Ruby interpreter treats the paths correctly where ./MyProject/src/foo.rb is treated as such. I'm not sure why RadRails treats the files like this and I'm not sure why it does this, but I'm wondering how others have gotten around this problem. I can't be the only one who has encountered this, but my searches on google and on ruby lists has turned up nothing. Thanks, Joe
