Its no secret that I think South America is poised at a crossroads with one the greatest opportunities to do something different, to choose a new path, a new way and thus create a new journey. This continent brings me so much hope, tangible hope.
When I first encountered Marina Silva's story, I knew it would be a story I would continue reading and following, and as it grew in potential and positivity I have been able to share with you, a glimpse of what she can offer. My latest Positive News article explores her offering and why it is needed.

Taking advantage of all their knowledge in crafting the high performance women's WK2 bib shorts, the women's WK2 shorts bring the same level of performance and impeccable fit but to a waist short.
The Women's WK2 Shorts use 7mesh's Clean Finish Construction, eliminating chafe points and hot spots throughout the shorts, making them supremely comfortable as you pedal. Next, the smooth, secure and brilliantly comfortable laser cut raw edge leg hems keep the shorts nicley in position, all without exerting too much pressure. To the waist a soft yoga-style waistband offers light support and soft-edges all avoiding excess pressure as you breathe deeply.
The Miti Performer fabric used creates a refined fit lightly supporting the muscles, while an Elastic Interface Road Performance Max chamois gives faultless comfort on the saddle.
With careful design, intelligent use of fabrics and a high quality chamois, 7mesh have created a pair of women's shorts that combine impeccable performance with impressive comfort levels. From short training rides to long distance challenges you'll have shorts that support you all the way.
Cycle shorts offer unrestricted movement on the bike with the added benefit of a chamois for comfort. They are the traditional cycling leg wear for any distance rider. Lycra shorts hold their internal pad in the ideal position throughout the ride, offering comfort and cushioning for both on and off road riding. Lycra shorts stretch with your body so there are no seams to rub you up the wrong way or restrict your pedalling motion. They are lightweight in material and since there is only one layer of thin fabric, they breathe well and keep you cool on hot days, or can be used under a pair of winter tights. Higher end models will have more panels and will generally fit better, a good pair of shorts is essential for longer rides and combined with a chamois crème make a wise investment.
When we look back, it was inevitable. We were a group of friends who lived in Squamish and worked in Vancouver, and we had a few things in common. We were passionate cyclists who spent pretty much all of our free time on two wheels. And we just weren't satisfied with the apparel available for our sport. And of course, most of us made technical outdoor gear for a living. That factored in. Soon enough, we found ourselves dreaming about solving those gear problems, about making things right. We'd start a company right here in Squamish, and use hands-on design. We'd focus strictly on cycling apparel. We'd use only the best materials and most modern manufacturing techniques. And after enough dreaming, we believed. So we all took a deep breath, quit our jobs and got to work.

The Smith & Wesson Model 41 has earned its place among the world's finest .22 target pistols for good reason. And the SW22 Victory has been getting good press alongside Ruger's Mark IV, which now joins the world of guns that can be taken down (and reassembled) by mere mortals. But what of Smith & Wesson's forgotten 22A, which was made in their Houlton, Maine factory alongside handcuffs and other handgun parts?
The short answer: the 22A is a mixed bag, but given that new (or nearly new) examples can be found in the $200 range right now, they may be one of the best target .22LR bargains going.
The "Smith & Wesson Automatic," as it was advertised, or the "Model of 1913" as the collectors refer to it, is a gun that by all measures should have done well. Its innovations still delight and amaze, and were it not for some bad timing, this gun could have been far more influential than the historical footnote that it has been relegated to.
Regardless of how much money one has invested in high quality firearms, it's difficult to not be piqued by Hi-Point Firearms. Their proposition is simple: a semiautomatic handgun at an MSRP of $219, that portends to have better quality than the usual Zamak-filled Saturday Night Specials. And since everyone is dumping their .40 S&W guns to go back to 9mm (or even to .380 ACP), it seemed like a good time to scoop up a nice used Hi-Point to see what they're really about. A single Benajmin brought this lightly used example into my gun safe, complete with its owned logoed hard plastic case. So far, so good.
I rarely set out to buy a particular gun; my preference is to wait for a deal to pop up. Such was the case with the Colt Lightweight Commander I'm reviewing today, which most people would understandably look past. In short: the "Lightweight" designation means that the frame is made of an aluminum, which is going to absorb far less of the considerable recoil that the .45 ACP round can generate. And the "Commander" size means that there's less barrel and less slide to absorb that recoil. And this gun is still a good bit larger than the pocket-sized polymers that dominate the compact market now, which leaves the Lightweight Commander in a strange middle-space. But one man's odd duck is this man's bargain, and when it was offered to me for a good bit below dealer cost (translation: "we've had this thing in the case for well over two years and we need to make space for more Glocks and Springfields"), I decided to give it a shot. Can't go wrong with a pony gun, right?
Most gun collectors have a few knives in their collection. This collector is no exception.
Randall Knives should need no introduction. As the story goes, Bo Randall was inspired by a Bill Scagel knife he bought, and he eventually became a student of Scagel and learned the art of making truly exceptional knives from one of the world's best. Scagel knives sell for tens of thousands of dollars now, and original Bo Randall knives aren't far behind.
The third generation of the Randall family continues the knife making legacy, and the cult allure is such that there's a 5 year waiting list for a Randall knife. In September of 2013, on a whim, I put a $50 deposit down on a Randall knife, knowing that it would be at least three years before I'd hold one of these vaunted blades in my hand. True to form, three years stretched out to five years, and I had long forgotten about my deposit when I received a bill in the mail for the balance owing on my soon-to-be-finished Randall.
Today, it arrived.
The August 18, 1945 issue of The Ottawa Journal newspaper lamented that good quality fishing gear "is practically non-existent," and that "the war, of course, caused it all. Sport fishing might be very dear to the hearts of many but it was not an essential industry and its workers left and materials for manufacture of equipment was denied it when war came."1 Later, the article made reference to "one major company (John Inglis)," who would commence the manufacture of fishing reels designed by the Kalamazoo, Michigan-based Shakespeare Company.
Most Canadians know the Inglis name, but not for its fishing reels—and certainly not for the high quality guns it made during World War II. The venerable Canadian manufacturer is best known for its appliances, which washed Canadians' dirty dishes and Stanfields for decades (and which continues to do so, albeit now as a brand name under Whirlpool). But what of Inglis' time as a gun manufacturer?
Of the defunct gun manufacturers that collectors inevitably stumble across, one of the least understood is the Rollin White Arms Company.
The guns of Lucius Willson Pond pop up on the market from time to time, and they receive some attention because of Pond's affiliation to Smith & Wesson (specifically, through his violation of Rollin White's patent). Throughout my research I realized that there is no really good biography of Lucius. Here's a summary of my research on this interesting man.
For most people, thinking about the venerable (and now defunct) Chicago retailer Montgomery Ward doesn't conjure up images of guns. Over the years they sold plenty of branded guns (like this rebranded Stevens rifle), but the gun I'm writing about today is actually a Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action, First Model, that was shipped to the Chicago firm on July 15, 1892.
An inevitable question that every gun collector asks is, "who owned this gun?" It's a question whose answer is usually lost to history, since the idea of keeping records about who bought what gun is, in the United States, a relatively modern phenomenon, and an incomplete one at that. But a gun occasionally tantalizes the interested historian with clues about its first owner, as this particular gun demonstrates.

An international team led by Alexandre Santerne from Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço (IA), made a 5-year radial velocity campaign of Kepler's giant exoplanet candidates, using the SOPHIE4spectrograph (Observatory of Haute-Provence, France), and found that 52.3% were actually eclipsing binaries, while 2.3% were brown dwarfs.
Santerne (IA & University of Porto), first author of this paper commented: "It was thought that the reliability of the Kepler exoplanets detection was very good -- between 10 and 20% of them were not planets. Our extensive spectroscopic survey, of the largest exoplanets discovered by Kepler, shows that this percentage is much higher, even above 50%. This has strong implications in our understanding of the exoplanet population in the Kepler field."

"I have always been big, going back to my teenage years. As a football player in high school and college, my weight was never really an issue. Through physical activity and weight training, I was able to keep my weight under control but as I got older, my weight got higher. I would yo-yo (lose 40, gain 60), unable to maintain a loss.
Seven months ago, at over 365 lbs., the health talk hit me. Simple things like walking up the stairs became work. I read a testimonial similar to this one about someone losing weight at Diminishing Dimensions. It was difficult for me to admit I had a problem I could not deal with myself.
From the first day, the people at Diminishing Dimensions were great. Instead of just telling me not to eat, I learned how to lose weight and keep a healthy lifestyle. There is always plenty of encouragement and I have my own individual eating plan. It's not how much you eat, but what you eat and when you eat it. I eat plenty of food and I am not hungry. I replaced my high carb, high sugar, high fat diet with a balanced one of healthy food. I read labels and make good choices. My love of exercise and weight training fit perfectly with my eating plan.
In 7 months I have lost over 70 lbs. and continue to lose. My blood pressure and cholesterol are normal and my waist is down 4 inches. More importantly. I feel great. Diminishing Dimensions works for me."John Rank, Branford

After living in Colombia, or Barranquilla more specifically, for almost a year now, I feel like I've mostly assimilated to the Costeño attitude and lifestyle. While I still stand out like a sore thumb due to my low level of Spanish and Gringo appearance, I've probably become as laid back and carefree as most of the coast-dwelling folk. With that said, I still get frustrated with some of (a lot of, actually) the ways they do things. Some frustrations I can acredit to cultural differences, but many things appear completely illogical. On my year long adventure, I've noticed many idiosyncrasies and I've compiled a list of those most infuriating. Now, this does have to come with a disclaimer so that I don't offend or give anyone the wrong idea. I see things from my sheltered, South African perspective, so many of these examples may seem pretty ordinary to you.
Things that are a thing
- Hooting (honking for you American folk) at everyone and everything. This is commonly used in short bursts to remind someone you're driving next to them, or long and drawn out hoots when visiting a friend to let them know you're outside. If using your hooter for the latter, it doesn't matter if the person you're visiting isn't at home. You can keep hooting for at least 30 minutes. Also, don't worry about time of day. Although you may think otherwise, 2am is a great time to do this.
- Stopping to pick up or drop people off, anywhere. I've witnessed cars stopping in the middle of a main road or highway just to pick people up or let someone out. Often, other drivers don't seem too bothered by this; they just drive around or wait, hooting all the while, until passengers have entered or exited the stationary vehicle.
- Jesus. Being in Latin America, the Christian faith is pretty prevalent. When it comes to the plethora of different buses, (at least in Barranquilla), each bus is plastered with vinyls, signs, slogans and verses which add to the colourful and uniqueness of each journey. Jesus is obviously one of the more common icons you'll see, alongside his arch nemesis: Taz the Tazmanian Devil, and several other fictional characters.
- Noise. As mentioned in the previous section, the hooting in Barranquilla never ends, but sometimes, I forget about the hooting, because there is always sound coming from somewhere. Music is played at full blast, and as a result, people have to talk that much louder when trying to converse – even in their own houses. I get that I come from a culture that generally isn't very loudly spoken and I am not a particularly vocal person, but I still feel like the general noise level here is abnormally high. Colombians don't seem bothered by it at all. Whether it be a baby screeching at the top of its lungs for 4 hours straight, or even a car alarm that has been going off for an entire weekend (this is not an exaggeration), the locals seem to go on with their lives, seemingly unaware.
Waiting. It's a pretty common stereotype that Latin Americans are laid back, and to some extent, even lazy. I don't want to offend too many people here, but I feel like on the coast, this stereotype proves true. I had to learn how to be extremely patient moving to this spot on the Caribbean, as everything seems to take a fair bit longer. An experience I dread, and unfortunately cannot avoid, is going to the supermarket. Picking out groceries is a fairly simple task once you learn how to dodge the slow movers in the aisle, but once you attempt to find a queue to pay for your goods it's all down hill. Cashiers are exceptionally slow and often appear incompetent when dealing with slight hiccups like an unreadable barcode. Usually when that happens, I leave the problem item behind to avoid any more time wasted. When it comes to the locals, they're very used to waiting in lines as this just seems to be how things are done. Some are a little more crafty, and make the weekly grocery trip a family outing. This way they can spend that valuable time with loved ones, as well as send each member to a different queue when it comes time to pay. Whoever gets to the front first rallies the rest of the family, who bound over with two trolley loads of groceries, leaving you contemplating a family of your own after seeing these useful benefits. Patience is definitely something I've learnt living with the Costeños, but I still get really frustrated by the complete lack of efficiency.
Things that are not a thing
- Stopping at stop streets. And sometimes even traffic lights: This is a very rare occurrence in my city. The general consensus seems to be that when approaching a stop street, you should slow and do your usual short burst of hooting. This way, if someone is coming from the other direction, they'll know you're going first. I know, it sounds pretty dangerous, and quite frankly it is rather nerve-wracking, but I haven't experienced or witnessed an accident as a result of this method… yet.
- Traffic lanes. Roads here are in pretty bad condition in general, and there are only faint traces of road markings left. While you could probably make out how many lanes there are in a particular road, nobody really bothers. You can drive wherever you want, and overtake anyone on either side. If you're feeling a little adventurous, you can even drive on the wrong side of the road. People might get a little annoyed by that, but who cares! Just give a little hoot and all should be fine.
- Indicators. I'm pretty sure cars are equipped with indicators, but nobody seems to have found the need to use them here. You can turn a corner without giving others any visual indication. People must either deal with it or telepathically know what you're about to do. I may have made it sound like being on the roads here is a death wish, and while most times I do fear for my life, I have witnessed very few accidents. I mean, there is the odd fender bender, but nothing too serious. Even though it's really chaotic, there seems to be a method to the madness.
- Mixing hard tack with soda. Different places enjoy alcohol differently, I get it. What I don't get, is how bartenders cannot comprehend that I would like a Coca-Cola with a shot of vodka IN THE SAME GLASS. In my mind, no matter what country, culture or tradition you are from, that sounds like a fairly simple concept. Wrong. You're much better off just sticking to beer, as the way they serve other types of alcohol here can get a little pricey. The local option is a fair bit cheaper; it's called Aguardiente, which roughly translates to 'fiery water.' It's a clear anise-flavoured liqueur derived from sugar cane which to me tastes pretty similar to Sambuca. Regardless of which poison you prefer, you'll have a hard time getting a single shot of it, I'm afraid. The general practice here is to sell this 'premium' liquor by the bottle. Clubs and bars have difficulty getting their minds around the idea of just serving a single shot, so this adds to the confusion when I try and explain what I mean when I order a 'vodka and coke.' A particular experience that almost made me repeatedly ram my head against a wall was when I tried to order a drink from a hostel bar. Thinking they were more used to tourists and common western drinking practices, I thought this was the perfect place to get my 'rum and coke.' I even noticed that they were selling rum BY THE SHOT. So, I called the barman over and explained that I wanted a Coca-Cola and a shot of rum. He first looked a little confused, but once he realised my intention, he actually refused my request and said that that was a cocktail, and I could order a Cube Libre at the inflated price that they had on the menu. Like I said, you're a lot better off sticking to beer. None of this vodka and coke "cocktail" business.
- Talking on a cellphone like a normal human being. Cell Phones in Colombia are a pretty big thing. I mean, most of the world is pretty smartphone-obsessed right now, but compared to back home, I feel like Colombians are a little more attached. My year here has been the opposite, with my phone calling it quits after a couple of months in this harsh climate. Anyway, while I've been here, I've noticed a particular Colombian habit. I get the feeling they don't trust the receiving end (microphone) of their phone, as when they're on a call and it's their turn to speak, they will move the phone away from their ear, and hold it right in front of their mouth to speak into it. Basically, they use the phone like a walkie-talkie, where it only allows communication in one direction at a time. This could have just developed after using speaker phone too often, which is also something they love to do, but the message I feel like they're giving is: I'M TALKING NOW AND I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, LISTEN TO ME, SHUT UP, I'M TALKING.
I really could go on more of a rant about other things, but I feel like I've gotten myself worked up enough. I must also add, that while many of the idiosyncrasies and little habits of Colombians can infuriate me to no end, I have come to enjoy and appreciate living in Barranquilla. It is a concrete metropolis which seems to trap the heat and drain you of the will to do anything but sleep, but the people living here don't let that stop them. They are always ready to party, while letting everyone within a 10 block radius know it.

Large Aperture, Standard Zoom with Optical Stabilization.
An upgrade to its predecessor, the 18-50mm F2.8-4.5 DC OS HSM is a lens dedicated to digital SLR cameras with APS-C size image sensors offering a large aperture and Sigma's Optical Stabilization.
Once again, Sigma has also engineered the built-in OS function, an anti-shake system, (for Sony and Pentax mount) allowing the photographer to see a stabilized image in the viewfinder. The combination of the large aperture of F2.8 and anti-shake function makes capturing exceptional photos in low light achievable, and the wide angle is wellsuited for indoor photography.
Two SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements and three Aspherical lenses provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations. The Super Multi-LayerCoating reduces flare and ghosting. Designed with inner focusing and inner zooming systems, high image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range.
The overall length of the lens does not change during focusing and zooming ensuring convenient handling. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 11.8 inches (30cm) throughout the entire zoom range and a maximum magnification ratioof 1:4.1. The incorporation of HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures a quiet and high speed auto focus.

Nuclear Energy and the Battle for National Security and Energy Independence
In the United States, 17 companies or groups of companies are preparing license applications for as many as 31 new reactors. Five complete or partial applications for combined construction and operating licenses were filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 2007. Another 11 to 15 applications are expected in 2008. As a result, the industry expects four to eight new U.S. nuclear plants in operation in 2016 or so, depending on factors like commodity costs, forward prices in electricity markets and environmental compliance costs for fossil-fueled power plants.
"Nuclear energy is the only option available today that can provide large-scale electricity 24/7 at a competitive cost without emitting greenhouse gases. If those first new plants are working to schedule, within budget estimates and without licensing difficulties, a second wave could be well under construction as the first wave reaches commercial operation. This new generation of nuclear plants could be the foundation of the non-carbon emitting energy supply that our nation sorely needs," Flint said.
SOURCE: Nuclear Energy Institute
NOTE: Whether you are for or against nuclear energy, it appears a major industrial thrust will grow in 2008. From my reading, the down sides of this form of energy include:

I rarely give 5 stars, but they deserve it based on a combination of food, prices and personnel. Family stopped in to grab a quick bite on our way back from a day of skiing...good choice. Hot dogs, toppings and fries were outstanding and the prices are great. The owner was extreme helpful when it came to dealing with one of my children's food allergies. Additionally, he went over the menu, made sure we all got the toppings that best suited our tastes and he even threw in some extras dogs with toppings that he though we might like "when we return"; which we will definitely be doing. Chili is awesome, but it has a kick.

I'm SO glad that summer has now ended it's long 4 month reign. Fall is my second favorite season (winter has my heart). I love getting cozy in a big sweater with cute boots. It's my go- to outfit for the fall. Here are some of my favorite trends for this 2010 Fall season. I get my most of my fashion inspiration from the magazines I read. Magazines are a absolute MUST for me. Vogue, In-style, Nylon, Glamour, and Harper's Bazaar are my fashion bibles. I guess you could say it's kinda of an obsession.
Mens Wear
Eccentric Tights
Nude Booties
Your go-to Boots
Something Leopard
Sheer Tops
Knee High Socks (These will look especially cute sticking out of your boots, it will add an extra flair)
Slouchy Sweaters
Skinny Corduroy Pants
Military/Utility Coat (Faux Fur)
The Perfect Fall Bag
That's all I have for you guys right now 🙂 I know it was quite a bit, but believe or not I wanted to post even more! I'll post a new blog tomorrow! I'm thinking this next one is going to be in the Inspiration category. I've been feeling pretty inspired lately. OH! and soon to come is a post of my favorite fall nail polishes.
There's plenty more where this came from so stayed tuned….

This is the coolest thing Iâve ever seen. Walmart has a new Savings Catcher program that looks like it will save you BIG on every shopping trip.
Once you buy your groceries at Walmart, head over to The Walmart Savings Catcher page and type in the receipt info requested. Walmart will automatically compare your receipt to your local ads (in select areas) and give you any difference between the Walmart price and a local competitorâs price in an eGiftcard.
You can accumulate your savings for a year or use it immediately. Once you decide to redeem your eGiftCard, you will get an email with a barcode. Print it out and hand it to your cashier. Itâs that easy!
Iâm going to write a little more about this on Tuesday but for now, let me just say how awesome this is. The 2 complaints I get most often is that it is tough to see all the ads to know what to price match and sometimes the cashiers can be a little difficult to deal with when price matching. This looks like it eliminates both those concerns.
I am headed back up to Walmart now to see for myself how it works. Check back on Tuesday morning for a Walmart Shopping Secrets post outlining what I found out after I used it.
Foe now, read the FAQâs and here is a list of the available markets.
- Atlanta, GAâ Aldi, Food Depot, CVS, Food Lion, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Ingles, Kroger, Publix, Rite-Aid, Kmart, Target, Walgreens, IGA, Wayfield Foods and Piggly Wiggly.
- Charlotte, NCâ Aldi, Bi-Lo, CVS, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Food Lion, Harris Teeter, Ingles, Kmart, Lowes (Food), Target, Rite-Aid, Publix and Walgreens.

- Huntsville, AL Marketâ Aldi, CVS, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Save-A-Lot, Foodland, Kroger, Piggly Wiggly, Publix, Rite Aid, Target, Walgreens.

|By Denise Jewell Gee, The Buffalo News,
N.Y.McClatchy-Tribune Regional News
Jan. 9, 2010--NIAGARA FALLS--The state will spend $2.75 million to sweeten a redevelopment deal for a condemned hotel near Goat Island that already has an unusual agreement to avoid paying property taxes for five years.
Empire State Development Corp., the state development agency, announced Friday that Merani Hospitality will receive $2 million from its Upstate Regional Blueprint Fund for a $15 million project to refurbish and reopen the former Fallside Hotel at 401 Buffalo Ave.
In addition, the project will receive a $750,000 grant from USA Niagara Development Corp.
The combined package is the second- largest incentive the state economic development agency and its Niagara Falls subsidiary have given to a private hotel in Niagara Falls in recent years.
"The hotel is currently vacant, blighted and condemned," said USA Niagara Development President Christopher Schoepflin.
Schoepflin said state officials believe the project could not have moved forward without the public investment.
Merani Hospitality, owned by a Canadian hotelier, plans to completely gut and renovate the hotel, which closed in 2009 after languishing for years with little investment.
The renovated hotel, expected to take about two years to complete, will operate under a national flag as a "full-service, high-end property" said Faisal Merani, president of Merani Hospitality.
Merani Hospitality purchased the closed hotel last year along with another shuttered hotel, the former Inn on the River at 7001 Buffalo Ave. Since then, Merani worked out a deal with the Niagara County Industrial Development Agency in which the former Fallside hotel will pay no property taxes for five years as long as the project reaches certain benchmarks.
The city's NFC Development Corp. in November awarded a $650,000 grant for the renovation of the Inn on the River.
Merani's family also owns a Holiday Inn on Buffalo Avenue in Niagara Falls and two hotels in Niagara Falls, Ont.
The $2 million from Empire State Development would be given in the form of a loan for the first five years. During that time, the loan would be converted to a grant in increments as long as the hotel maintains 45 jobs in its first year, 50 jobs in its second year and 55 jobs in the following three years, said Katie Krawczyk, a spokeswoman for Empire State Development.
During the five-year period, the hotel will pay 3 percent interest on the $2 million.
The project was awarded the $2 million out of a competitive grant process through Empire State Development's Upstate Regional Blueprint Fund program.
"In an environment where state dollars are spread very, very thin," Schoepflin said, "this is a very good thing for downtown Niagara Falls."

Guddu and Charlie are identical twins born and raised in the slums of Mumbai. They dream of leaving the squalor behind and moving into a life of prosperity and dignity.

The brothers want nothing to do with each other. But when Charlie gets mixed up in a deadly get-rich-quick scheme and Guddu realizes that the love of his life has unwittingly put a price on his head, their lives begin to collide.

Northern base camp
What is my favorite skipper doing ? Training for the Spring Marathon to prepare Röde Orm for her departure ? Or may be this Viking is making sure he will have some big juicy apples to distill his secret brew. The problem is we won't be around to pick them up. This small cute rustic house 500 kms north of here will be deserted most of the time expect for a yearly family visit. It is a temporary land base that Magnus has chosen to keep things that could not fit on the boat and could not be given away. It is situated in one of the nicest place in Sweden, in Gamleby, where the Stockholm Archipelago starts. As all nomads we need a base camp to come back once in a while to rest, or to gather our souvenirs. It could be a temporary one and the camp can change places as we go along, until we found the perfect compromise.

our life style...
Our faithful diesel heater..
Living aboard full time on a small boat, at anchor or moored to a d0ck in a sunny warm place or in a blistery cold country has a romantic appeal. It is simplifying our lives by keeping only what is needed. It is minimalizing our needs down to the absolute necesities. In our boat, no fridge, no freezer (well... it is for now the least of our problems..), no washing machine, no TV, micro-wave oven, no hot water on the tap, no shower. Just the bare minimum.
Yes it is a simplier life, but not an easier one and certainely not during winter in Sweden. Almost every move we make on the boat has to be calculated not to bump to something or bump into someone... Cabin fever is at the corner ! Cooking is always more challenging than in a house even when the boat is still. And I complicate the task by only using the top of the diesel heater to cook. The heat source is there, so I use it instead of the kerosene stove which sometimes requires a good dose of patience to light properly ! But of course, the "one pot at a time" operation can be a demanding sport sometimes. Not only do I need to be organized but also imaginative in my cooking and that is personal challenge where my French pride is at stake.... Because if we live a simplistic life too minimalist for some people, we eat well in Röde Orm. At sea or not, on a boat, cooking takes more time, in fact everything takes more time. Going to the toilets or for an evening shower is not only opening a door and stepping in or out. It is dressing up warmly, coat, gloves, boots, hat, getting out of the warm salon without letting too much heat out (that means climbing over the companion way boards without removing them.. nice work out !) then carefully stepping on the deck watching for ice and make the big step off the bow on to the pier. That is relatively easy when the sea is calm in the harbor but it can be challenging when the boat jumps up and down and pulls on his lines. The water is freezing cold and a mishap can be deadly.
That makes anyone realizes how much we take things for granted. Every movements, actions is plently lived and thought. Going to the marina restrooms can be at time a polar expedition !
So ? simple yes, as life used to be, but not without hardship and work. On the other hand there is some wonderful rewards : as to enjoy and witness a frozen harbor displaying big tiles of ice in a still crispy morning, to listen to the sound of crushing ice against the hull, admiring the daily commute of flocks of geese, or to smile at the clumsy swans trying to ice skate on the frozen sea. Every time we stick our nose out of our little cozy sea igloo, we are rewarded even when the wind blows gale force. We are sitting at the first row !!

In the news this morning, more people are seeking organ donation opt-out forms since the organ "robbery" incident some weeks back. I myself have sent in my opt-out form a week ago.
Meanwhile a relative of the Sim family involved has provided some information to this blogger on police behaviour during the incident. It doesn't surprise me considering what i saw first hand at Hong Lim Park.

Concert Review: Austin360
"[Jackson's] also a class act: He appeared a few minutes before the 8 p.m. starting time, much to the surprise of concertgoers who'd gotten to their seats early, just so he could personally introduce Campbell and Williams' opening set."
"They played for 40 minutes and delighted the crowd with originals and a sweet version of the Louvin Brothers' "You're Running Wild," which Campbell explained he'd first played decades ago in a band with Colvin and renowned guitarist Buddy Miller."

"They recently celebrated 27 years of marriage. He spent eight years touring with Bob Dylan. She's sung with Emmylou Harris and Bonnie Bramlett. Together, they've been members of Little Feat, Hot Tuna, and Phil Lest & Friends. Most famously, they were members of the Levon Helm Band, working with the onetime Band drummer and singer until his death in 2012."
"Now, Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams are out on the road with Jackson Browne. They serve as both the acclaimed SoCal troubadour's opening act and as members of his band." Click here to read the full interview

Interview: "The True-life Duet"
"Be it L.A.'s "Wrecking Crew," the Muscle Shoals "Swampers" or Nashville's endless stream of session players, it's easy to be drawn to the stories of musicians who provide the backbone to great songs but probably wouldn't be recognized in a grocery store."
"Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams fit this description perfectly."
Collectively, the pair has backed Levon Helm, Emmylou Harris, Phil Lesh, Bob Dylan, Rodney Crowell, Elvis Costello and Rosanne Cash among many others."
"Toss in the fact that the musical duo have been married for nearly 30 years and the story gets even more interesting."
"These days, Campbell and Williams are taking their rightful places in the spotlight with this year's release of their self-titled debut album."

Amusing/sad poll finding of the day:
The latest Marist Poll is a mixed bag for Gov. David Paterson (D-NY). It's partly bad news -- and partly really bad news.
This number must really hurt: When New York's registered voters are asked whether they would rather have Eliot Spitzer or David Paterson as governor, it's Spitzer 51%, Paterson 38%.
Back to Spitzer in a bit, but let's briefly consider the desperate straits of the incumbent. Overall, Paterson's approval rating is at 19 percent, and almost every story involving the governor's popularity now includes the words "record low." He's evidently committed to running next year regardless, despite widespread speculation that Attorney General Andrew Cuomo will take the top spot on the Democratic ticket. (That Cuomo leads Paterson by about 50 points in polling certainly strengthens this theory.)
But Paterson's evident plan to revive political fortunes seems as confused and boneheaded as everything else in his accidental tenure--even if some aspects of it are surprisingly admirable. The obvious strategy for him would be to emphasize his African-American heritage, a gambit that makes particular sense against Cuomo; the current attorney general and son of the three-term governor saw his 2002 bid for the statehouse founder when he went up against state Comptroller Carl McCall, an African-American behind whom Democratic leaders had coalesced early in the campaign cycle. Cuomo ultimately withdrew from the race before the primary and has spent much of his time since trying to rebuild his bridges with black voters and party insiders.
Even if Paterson doesn't generally present himself as a "black politician"--to his credit, as far as I'm concerned--he does hail from the Harlem Democratic machine, and rallying the New York City establishment behind him probably would suffice to hold off Cuomo. His highest-profile campaign-like move to date, however, has been to come out in favor of same-sex marriage... a position supported by majorities of whites and Hispanics, but opposed by a plurality of African-Americans. Add in that Paterson's timing, if not his underlying position (he was a champion of same-sex unions in the state Senate for years before joining Spitzer's ticket as lieutenant governor in 2006), is pretty explicitly political, and it's not hard to see how the position could sap enthusiasm in the black community for his re-election, if not actual support.
(Of course, this is more than a little tricky for Cuomo as well. Our Democratic electorate is pretty liberal, after all, and if he tries to run to Paterson's right on marriage equality--by favoring civil unions, say--he'll risk turning contributors and volunteers back toward the governor. Personally, as an absolutist on marriage equality who's not fond of either Paterson or Cuomo, it could be a threshold issue for my primary vote... though the thought of voting for Paterson makes me almost physically ill. Considering both this issue and his past tangle with McCall, Cuomo is surely hoping that Paterson withdraws from the race before he has to jump in and take him on directly.)
Meanwhile, Paterson continues trying to govern while struggling with public contempt on a level far more intense than even George W. Bush saw. I think the guy's done a fairly awful job, failing to manage his legislative majorities and looking ever more ineffectual on the subject of the MTA bailout--something I keep meaning to write about here, but that makes me angry well beyond the point of coherence. Still... 19 percent? If I had to, I could make an argument for the guy: he finally got reform of the Rockefeller Drug Laws through, he passed a budget that has more spending than I or many New Yorkers would have preferred but managed not to gut education or social services, as right-wingers were calling, and recently he issued an executive order that will please many union members. (Another naked political gambit, but probably good policy nonetheless: there's no reason why public subsidies should support employers who bully and deprive their workers as a matter of course.) So the low rating likely has as much or more to do with a by now well established public perception of Paterson's ineptitude than a reasoned consideration of his actions in office--though, again, I think that perception is grounded in reality. (Conservatives can and have argued that Bush was the victim of a similar dynamic in his last two years, and to be fair, the bulk of his substantive disasters probably did come while he enjoyed far more public support than he did in 2007-2008.)
The evident public preference for Paterson's unfortunate predecessor also makes more sense than it might at first seem. In 2006, Spitzer won an overwhelming victory; the race was really more a coronation than a contest. By the time his sexcapades drove him from office, his ratings were way down from the early public adoration he'd enjoyed... but still around twice Paterson's current approval. Spitzer never seemed overwhelmed or unequal to the office; he just came across as a bullying asshole in a job where some diplomacy was called for. Ironically, that unpleasant type-A nature probably would be playing well today as "the sheriff of Wall Street" likely would be a media fixture in debates over post-crash regulation of financial markets. Sadly, the job I think Spitzer would be absolutely perfect for--leader of a new "Pecora Commission" to investigate the facts behind the pre-recession machinations and recommend corrective measures--is probably beyond his reach thanks to his legacy as Client Number Nine.

Roma plan for the summer
- Updated: 22/04/2014
AS Roma hierarchy will meet in America this week to discuss a number of issues, one of which will be the budget for this summer's transfer window.
According to Leggo, President James Pallotta will provide Sporting Director Walter Sabatini with 25 million euros to spend on new players in the upcoming transfer window. Although Pallotta is keen to improve the squad for the Champions League, it's being reported that Roma management do not intend on revolutionizing the squad like they have done in previous summers. In fact, since the American ownership took over, only Francesco Totti, Daniele De Rossi, Miralem Pjanic and Rodrigo Taddei have remained.
Roma will look to finalize Rudi Garcia's new contract and have it signed in July before the team depart for their summer tour of America. Leggo also reports that Roma are waiting to sign Tottenham midfielder Paulinho, but the deal is dependent on whether Pjanic agrees to a new contract.
Roma have also continued talks with Davide Astori, Davide Santon and Juan Iturbe. Sabatini is also set to meet with Jackson Martinez' agents who are due to land in Italy this week. Offers are expected to arrive for Medhi Benatia this summer but in order to keep Garcia happy, the Roma executives are willing to reject any offers for the Moroccan.

everybody wants to be mark burnett
Have you watched 'Outback Jack'?
They showed the first episode last Thursday. It's like a cross between The Bachelor, A Simple Life and Survivor.
You have an eligible bachelor (Jack, who lives in the outbacks of Oz) and 12 ladies who is vying for his attention and marriage proposal. These ladies are pampered princesses from cities thruout the US of A and they complain about bugs, shriek at the sight of lizards and such. And the courtship is going on the the wilderness of Australia, where they have to survive in for the next few weeks. So far they've got ample food and there are no reward or immunity challenges yet.. so maybe it's not so much like Survivor.
I thought I would get sick watching it, just like I did when I watched The Bachelor and For Love Or Money, but I was quite suprised when I found myself actually rooting for some of the girls and pfft-ing some others. Yup, I enjoyed the show.
Is it just me, or do other people like laughing at girls making fools of themselves? One of them even sang to the guy!! I was laughing my head off.
Jack looks like a really sweet guy (he helped carry half of the ladies' bags) and he looks like he really knows what he was doing (as in surviving in the wilderness) but I can't imagine how he got roped into making this show. I mean he looked level headed and down to earth enough.. perhaps his other head got the better of him when the producer said "you're gonna have 12 skimpy sheilas fawn over you in the woild".
I really hope Jack finds the love of his life through this show.. or at the very least perhaps even change some of the ladies' attitude towards nature or something.
One thing I know, I'm gonna watching the next episode.
p/s riza, thanx for the offer, but I won't even go to my dad's house...
Don't worry folks. Taufik got things covered..

Start with the bottom most shelf. The largest and heaviest items should go here. Do you have some large heavy books? Or a collection of large books? Or you could slide some really nice woven baskets onto the bottom shelf and have them hold your paperback stash. The point here is that the bottom shelf should have the weight.. both the visual weight and the actual weight. The items you place on this shelf don't necessarily have to be books. Maybe a large vase or urn... or a large globe.
You may dream about remodeling or completely renovating your garage; but, when you look at the budget, you know it is not going to happen. So, how to you get that extra storage space that you need so badly? Well... the first step is to develop a good garage shelving plan.
If your resources will permit, you can also opt for stainless steel shelves to save on space and time. When it comes to beauty and durability, stainless steel shelves are very hard to beat. You can use them as a mobile shelf which you can easily transport from place to place or a static shelf which is fixed in a location. The added benefit of stainless steel industrial shelves is that they are easy to clean, very durable, fully secured and stable.

We carry small red plastic buckets out to the asphalt playground and collect the eucalyptus fruit that fall from the adjacent Blue Gum (Eucalyptus globulus) tree.
The hard fruit that fall from the tree have a conical shape that rolls underfoot. A large accumulation of these fruit can make a hazardous surface for beginning bike riders and running kindergartners. So we pick them up.
Gathering fruit comes so naturally to kindergartners. It's deep in our genes.
We count our cache carefully into small plastic applesauce cups saved from the trash. Each cup holds 10 fruit. At this point of the year, most students can get exactly 10 in the cup. But a few kids are still filling the cup without regard to number. Counting to 10 becomes a daily lesson for these students. They will get more practice than their classmates until they can count accurately to 10.
In this video taken on the thirteenth day of kindergarten you can see as my student teacher, Mrs. Gronlund, leads the class in counting by tens to one hundred and dumps 10 cups—each cup holds 10 fruit—into a plastic bag. In this way we count by 10s to 100 with actual materials they've picked up. Even though we've done it 18 times before, we're still not in unison. It will get crisper by the time we've reached 5,000.
In this next clip we count bags of 100 eucalyptus buttons that we have assembled during the first two weeks of school. We're getting practice counting big numbers but also practicing the 1,2,3 pattern for the handful of kids who still can't count by ones to 10 or really know what "hundred" means.
They'll get there. You can count on it.

word lovers: a rant
John Simpson, editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, is retiring.
He's taken advantage the occasion to let off a bit of steam.
'There is so much waffle and woolly-mindedness,' he says in an interview in The Telegraph. 'Our job is to analyse data, not to love words.'
Well, if there's anyone who knows about the editor of the OED's job it's John Simpson, so I can't argue with that.
But the interview also says that 'In common with most lexicographers, he has an innate distrust of people who claim to "love words" '.
I don't know if that's a fair representation of John Simpson's opinion. I hope not, because I love words.
Is it really a sign of untrustworthiness to take pleasure in the sound of the word ruffian?
Is it wrong to be cheered by the bounce of boing, or to cherish the pernickety precision of penultimate?
May I not have an affection for lush, wombat, sizzle, schloss, acciaccatura, bouteille and tingo?
Ah well. Away with respectability! I am going to love them anyway.
So there.

Severin Freund: "It's gaining momentum"
Severin Freund had to undergo hip surgery after last season and the best German ski jumper of the recent years was not able to return to the hill until late August. Now it might be possible that he can make his comeback in a competition already next weekend in Hinzenbach (AUT).
FIS Ski Jumping spoke with the 28-year-old.
FIS Ski Jumping: How are you Severin? What is the current state of your health?
Severin Freund: Speaking from a medical perspective everything is perfect. As an athlete you tend to say that something is not right or that it doesn't feel the way it's supposed to. You can tell that you couldn't train the way you wanted to for five months, that's a relatively long time. Especially considering that, subconsciously, I probably did things differently in winter already because there was some kind of problem. That's why I noticed that I was lacking the right feeling when I started jumping again. By now I made a few more jumps and things are slowly gaining momentum again.
FIS Ski Jumping: The reason for all these problems was your crash in Innsbruck, right? But you continued jumping after that.
Freund: Yes. A labrum tear can't be compared to, for example, an ACL tear, when it's clear immediately that you can't do anything anymore. It's an injury with which you can live with pretty well, but what you need in ski jumping, like the extreme flexibility in the inrun position or the speed-strength, is suffering. I always had therapy and took pain killers. The normal feeling wasn't there, it was always a bit strange and this didn't just go away. The problems caused by the injury were not big enough to force me to stop and the results were good. You don't simply end the season early when you are second in the overall World Cup. After the season I was hoping that it would solve itself with a little rest. It did get better, but the basic problem was still there. Another x-ray examination then showed that something had to be done and this was the hip arthroscopy. After that you are not allowed to stress the hip and that's why the recovery process takes a bit longer.
It might sound a strange, but actually I was happy about this diagnosis. As an athlete you have a different relationship to your body and also a different feeling. When you notice that something is not hundred percent right and you are told that everything is okay it would have been more difficult to start the new season.
FIS Ski Jumping: You are not back at the hill. What's your schedule now? When do you think you will be able to compete again?
Freund: I definintely want to compete again at the start of the winter season. This is very, very realistic. Right now it's still open what's possible for the events in Hinzenbach and Klingenthal. I'm somebody who likes to have a competition before the winter. It's always easier when you achieve good results in the final summer Grand Prix events, but this wouldn't be that important for me this year. It would be a possibility to test how I function in a competition: I'm I on the same level as in training, is the performance worse than in training or can I even show better jumps. Next week we will have to see if it's possible to compete, or if it's better to train instead.
FIS Ski Jumping: This means that there's a chance we will see you in Hinzenbach. When will you make the final decision?
Freund: I can't tell, because I won't make this decision alone but with the coaches. We also handled it the same way when I had the back problems. Back then I really wanted to jump again, but the coaches said: "It's not looking that easy when you make a normal jump from the floor. You better wait another week." This can go in both directions. It can also be the case that it looks better from the outside than what your feeling tells you. The feeling is simply different when you already made hundreds of jumps. That's why this decision is made together with the coaches and so I can't say anything about it right now. If I would jump in Hinzenbach and it would go well, then I'll also take part in Klingenthal.
At the end of the interview we asked Severin Freund to tell us what he thinks characterizes the currently strongest ski jumpers. Here are his answers:
Andreas Wellinger:
What makes him strong is the lever ratio, the long distance he uses to put pressure on the take-off table and the extreme height can he can get right after the table.
Peter Prevc:
Consistency, consistency, consistency on an extremely high level.
Anders Fannemel:
How fast he gets in the flying position and how effective his flight is.
Maciej Kot:
He actually has a very unspectacular system, but when you look at it closely, things like the V-shape or the position of his body are very thought-out and it can also be very effective.
Severin Freund:
I think that I'm a pretty detail oriented person and so I can really focus on all the details. When I'm in a good shape, my jump is not really dependent on the conditions, but can work well under all conditions at the hill.
FIS Ski Jumping: Thank you very much Severin! We are looking forward to maybe seeing you in Hinzenbach.

Reports show that on the internet over 8 millions people make either part time or full time incomes from using online sources. These methods vary dramatically from online businesses selling physical products, affiliate marketing (where you get paid a commission on sales, from visitors you send to the merchants website) and various other online money making opportunities. The internet has opened the door for just about everybody that can get online to take advantage of these opportunities.
Below is just one of a thousand ways to reap profits from the millions of internet visitors The reality is that if you believe it or not, the fact is that thousands of people are making money online. Affiliate programs are one of the easiest ways to gain an online income. Plus it is really simple to set up for anyone as long as you are shown.
How it works
Well, the merchant of a product, whether it be a physical or digital product has an affiliate program for people like you and me to promote their products. The merchant offers the affiliate a generous commission for sales made from sending visitors (traffic) to their site. That is the simplest and most cost effective way to make money online, as it often only costs a minimal free or is even FREE to do (with a little time).
There are several ways to do send the traffic to the merchants site. The 2 main ways to do this are PPC and SEO.
What is PPC?
Well PPC or Pay-Per-Click is paid advertising on the search engines. This works by simple paying for an advertisement promoting the merchants product. This advert can often be in the form of your own website which then review the product in question or you can simple send the traffic directly to the merchants site.
What is SEO?
Search Engine Optimization or SEO for short is a way sending the traffic to the merchants site by various means. Most of these means are often free, but can be very time consuming. Some are more productive than others but there are various online tools out there to save time and make the whole process easier.
Basically, if a link on an affiliate site brings the merchant site sales traffic the merchant site pays the affiliate site their commission. Recruiting affiliates is an excellent way to sell products online which is well worth the sales commission that is paid. After all, the affiliate is doing the leg work in promoting the merchants site, so they should be rewarded with a generous percentage of the sales.Hundreds of thousands of people are implementing these online methods. Many fail because the effort and time that they are putting into this through half explained instruction simple do not bring them a profit.
While many promote the ease of these online business - they fail to mention the effort and time it takes to make a website successful. It's an easy business because you can set it up and it works 24 hours a day and you can basically set it up and forget it. But the reality is, that while it maybe easy - the success of your website cost a lot of effort and time. If your not familiar with SEO, PCP, social sites - your websites probably are not generating any real traffic.

PKC-δ is a pro-apoptotic PKC isoform that is highly expressed in keratinocytes. PKC-δ is selectively activated in human keratinocytes exposed to UV radiation and this activation helps trigger apoptosis and may eliminate premalignant cells from the epidermis. Expression of an oncogenic rasHa gene in mouse keratinocytes inhibits PKC-δ enzyme activity by tyrosine phosphorylation, and oncogenic rasHa down-regulates PKC-δ in the non-tumorigenic human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT. This reduction of PKC-δ activation may provide keratinocytes with activated rasHa a selective survival advantage. We examined PKC-δ expression by immunohistochemistry in human squamous cell carcinomas and found that 23% (8/35) had lost PKC-δ when compared to normal skin or epidermis surrounding the tumor. To explore the significance of PKC-δ loss in rasHa –transformed human keratinocytes, we studied the tumorigenic HaCaT Ras II-4 clone which forms highly differentiated, locally invasive squamous cell carcinomas in nude mice. HaCaT Ras II-4 cells have reduced PKC-δ levels and re-expression of full length PKC-δ by retrovirus transduction inhibited the growth of the cells in culture and induced apoptosis. PKC-δ also suppressed the tumorigencity of HaCaT Ras II-4 cells in nude mice, with PKC-δ-transduced cells producing much smaller tumors and/or cysts only. In summary the pro-apoptotic PKC-δ is lost in a subset of human squamous cell carcinomas and re-expression of PKC-δ in rasHa-transformed HaCaT keratinocytes induces apoptosis and suppresses their tumor phenotype. These results indicate that PKC-δ may function as a tumor suppressor in human squamous cell carcinoma where its loss could provide a selective resistance to UV-induced apoptosis.

The Counting Crows is one of those few groups who's CD we will buy, in its entirety, without having heard any of the songs first. We love that they are still around and they feel like the comfy sweatshirt that you always grab to put on even though you have newer ones. Anyway, we were so grateful last week when their new CD, Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings, was released. Thankfully, after waiting so long for a CD of new stuff from them, it is good. The Saturday Nights portion refers to the first 6 songs that are more rousing, particularly 1492. Sunday Mornings refers to the more mellow last 8 songs. Washington Square is just one of those gorgeous melodies that we could just keep on a loop for a long while. Yea, there is a reason that we always reach for that old sweatshirt.
