University of Oregon has been teaching and conducting research in marine biology on the southern Oregon coast since 1924, when summer classes traveled to nearby Sunset Bay and used tents for dormitories and laboratories. In 1928-29, a portion of the Coos Head Military Reservation was selected as the permanent site for the University's marine program and in 1931 over 100 acres of the Reservation, including some Army Corps of Engineers buildings, was deeded to University of Oregon.
The mission of South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve is to improve the understanding and stewardship of Pacific Northwest estuaries and coastal watersheds. The 4,800 acre Reserve, located near Charleston, Oregon, encompasses a mixture of open water channels, tidal and freshwater wetlands, riparian areas, and forested uplands.
We welcome you to explore the estuary through our interpretive center, trails and waterways, programs, and online resources. On this page, links in the Activities section details on opportunities for visitors to the reserve while the In Depth section contains information related to administration, reserve management, and ecology.

There seems to be a lot of DWIL'ers getting ready to pop out new little squishies into this world, and I've read the Delivery Room Drama threads, but not about Postpartum stories.
Here is mine with ODD:
I'd asked my mom months before my due date if she would come and help me for a week or so after my ODD was born since my DH (dear husband) had to go back to work within days of her birth. She acted like she was thrilled with the idea and said it would be no problem. We talked about it numerous times in the months leading up to my daughter's birth. Well, the night before she was supposed to come, I called her to see if she was still coming and she told me she was too busy, and could *maybe* come for one night. I got very upset (crazy hormones) and she said she'd come up the next day. She came up with about 7-8 books about PPD (postpartum depression) and kept insisting that I had PPD. All she wanted to do was hold ODD and wasn't willing to actually do anything to help me. She loudly complained that she didn't know what to do, you know, since I was hogging the baby and all. I kicked her out that day. I learned my lesson and didn't have her come to meet YDD until a few weeks after her birth, and that was just for a short visit.
Does anyone else have some PP (previous poster) stories to share so nobody else has to have these terrible memories of times when you should be bonding with your new LO? Hoping to save someone else from going through this!

RadioLover Records and Splits MP3 Radio into Songs
Discover New Music
RadioLover enables music fans to easily record Internet radio and listen to recordings and songs on their iPod or MP3 compatible device.
There is so much music out there, how do you decide what to listen to, and what's good? Many radio station DJs really know their stuff, so tune into those stations and let RadioLover do all the hard work of recording fresh new tunes.
Tune Into Your Favourite Shows
Got a favourite talk show you're addicted to? You can let RadioLover time-shift your favourite shows so you can listen to them at your convenience. Podcasts are increasingly popular, but there are a lot of shows which aren't available as a podcast. Time-shifting is the answer.
"RadioLover is a sterling example of how to do things right... This is almost the perfect program. It does what it's supposed to do and then some. It's easy to use. It's almost free. And it runs under the world's best desktop operating system. You couldn't ask for more."
- Al Fasoldt (TechnoFile, May 2003)
Stream Ripping
RadioLover makes it easy to record multiple MP3 streams at the same time - so everybody gets the music they want. On a typical home broadband connection, you can easily record over 10 high-quality 128kbps streams at the same time.
Stream ripping, or time-shifting, has been available on the Mac for a while now. In fact, the team behind RadioLover brought you the free StreamRipperX (no longer maintained). Note that StreamRipperX and RadioLover only share an icon, they do not share any GPL code.
"The latest in genius MP3 software."
- Mark Morford (SFGate, Jan 2003)

These robots messed with the wrong Earthling.
Mothership Zeta will lead players up and out of the planet's irradiated atmosphere by broadcasting an alien signal to anyone who just happens to have a Pip Boy 3000 strapped to their arm and 800 MS points to spare. Loot junkies will be on the lookout for new weapons like the Alien Atomizer, Alien Disintegrator, and Drone Cannon, as well as new outfits like the Gemini-Era Spacesuit and Samurai Armor. To collect this stuff you'll need to blast away robot drones, alien invaders, and of course their horrible experiments. Just don't end up on the wrong end of those alien probes when the DLC is released on August 3rd.
In space, no one can hear you activate VATS.
Gerald says: I found this "key feature" from the announcement quite interesting: "Ally yourself with an unexpected array of characters, both from the Capital Wasteland and from Earth's past." Intriguing! What famous characters can we expect to find as part of an alien abduction storyline? Jimmy Hoffa, the Lindbergh Baby? Amelia Earhart would fit the bill, but her plane (and skeleton) was featured in Fallout Tactics, and that sort of continuity error could tear apart the space-time continuum, while also causing several message boards to implode.
Fallout 3's DLC (I've reviewed 'em all) have gotten progressively better with each new release. From these screens, Mothership Zeta looks like it's focusing on the '50s pulp science-fiction aesthetic side of the Fallout universe, which is as much a part of the setting as the themes of Americana in ruins and survival in a post-apocalyptic society.

Bringing A Dream Car To Fruition
On a late summer afternoon in 1958, 13-year-old Robert Di Pietros life was changed forever. It was on that day that Robert got his hands on the September 58 issue of R&Cand right there on the cover was Gil Granuccis 31 Model A coupe. Robert had found his dream car, and the course was set.
By the time he reached the age of 15, Robert had already procured a 31 five-window of his own for $75. Not content to create a basic highboy coupe, Di Pietro immediately set about channeling the A to mimic Granuccisno small task for a teen without experience or proper tools and living in Quebec. The floor was cut out with a Vise-Grip used like a can opener; according to Robert, The jagged cuts are still there. A floor was made from plywood (also still there) and the coupe was on its way. The adolescents resourcefulness was amazing; after scoring a Deuce frame for $15, he pulled the coupe off of the A frame, replaced the body with a roadster pickup shell hed acquired, and traded the functioning Model A for a set of used acetylene torches.
A 47 Ford was purchased for another $15 to donate its mechanical bits. In those days, you could buy late-40s Fords for next to nothing, and then you had all your mechanicals: engine, trans, * rearend, spindles, and brakes, says Robert. He put the 47 gears in a 39 case, but before the flathead ran, it was replaced by a Chevy 283, which was mated to the Ford trans with an adapter from Honest Charley.
Later, a hotter 327 would be installed, and after going through numerous gearboxes and rears, Robert upgraded to a Corvette T10 four-speed and 57 Chevy rearend. By 1966, the 327 had high-compression pistons, a big solid cam, an aluminum flywheel, and 1,500-cfm worth of dual-quads in an effort to stay ahead of the musclecars. Then, in 1972, the coupe was parked to raise a family. It resurfaced in 1985 with a street-rod revamp, seeing 70,000 miles of travel. In 2000, Robert decided to return it to its roots; it once again became a late-50s/early 60s Northern California hot rod.
So did the image of Granuccis coupe truly alter Roberts destiny? It should come as no surprise that he opted to pursue an education in engineering, and today hes president of an engineering firm in his native Quebec. Thankfully, he never let go of his inspiration.

If Apple is trying to pump up the volume ahead of next week's World Wide Developer Conference, then it could be "mission accomplished" for its Internet software and services chief, Eduardo "Eddy" Cue.
"Later this year, we've got the best product pipeline that I've seen at Apple in my 25 years at Apple," said Cue, who oversees iTunes, Siri and the App Store, at the Code conference on Wednesday.
Walt Mossberg, co-founder of ReCode, seemed rather incredulous about this comment, pointing out the pretty amazing products the company has pushed out in the last 25 years, such as the iMac and the iPhone. "I agree with you, and I believe the products we have coming are great," said Cue, who in typical Apple fashion, wouldn't give up any details.
On the stage with Cue was Beats co-founder Jimmy Iovine, whose company finally sealed a $3 billion tie-up with Apple on Wednesday. But don't expect any hints on what the company's got up its sleeve from him -- Apple has held to its secretive ways. Iovine said he's been "hanging out with these guys for two months. Wherever I go, they put tarps over everything. It's amazing."
What could Cue be talking about? Many are hoping Apple will use next week's developer conference to unveil the iPhone 6 -- and maybe even the iWatch and an Apple Television (not to be confused with the Apple TV set-top box).
Cue told the audience at Code on Wednesday that today's "TV experience sucks," with not much going on but "glorified VCRs." He didn't go into detail about how Apple would fix all that, but said there are problems with disparate systems and rights issues -- "a complicated landscape."
The Financial Times reported earlier this week that Apple will make an announcement about smart-home technology software next week, along the lines of using your iPhone to control your house lights, your garage door opener, your fridge, etc.

OTTAWA, Feb. 21 (UPI) -- From 2009-11, 68 percent of Canadians had vitamin D blood levels sufficient for healthy bones, researchers say.
Teresa Janz and Caryn Pearson, analysts with the Health Statistics Division, used data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey. This survey collects direct physical measures of the Canadian population ages 3-79 from August 2009 to November 2011.
The findings, published in Health at a Glance, found 89 percent of children ages 3-5 had sufficient levels of vitamin D for bone health at levels at or above 50 nanomoles per liter.
Those ages 20-39 had the lowest percentage of sufficient vitamin D for proper bone at 59 percent.
In terms of concentrations, those youngest ages 3-11 and oldest age 60-79 had the highest levels of vitamin D in their blood, while generally, females had higher levels of vitamin D than males.
About one-third of Canadians took a supplement containing vitamin D. Overall, 85 percent of supplement users had levels of vitamin D above the cut-off, compared with 59 percent who did not take supplements.
During the winter months 60 percent of Canadians has sufficient vitamin D for bone health, compared with 75 percent in the summer.

Even a Swiss Army knife-equipped MacGyver couldn't hide that a major chase scene from the show's first season was lifted wholesale from the 1969 film The Italian Job. Luckily, mullets and Minis go together like cheesy music and '80s TV.
Click to view
This is the episode in question. If the dancing Minis don't ring any bells, here's a quick primer: The scene above isn't just any car chase. All things considered, it's probably the most famous car chase ever filmed. Was there really a time when the producers of a successful prime-time TV show thought they could get away with splicing footage of Richard Dean Anderson into an iconic Hollywood car chase?
The 1969 version of The Italian Job — this isn't the Mark Wahlberg-led 2003 remake — stars Michael Caine as fun-loving cockney crook Charlie Croker. Croker wants to steal a huge shipment of gold from under the Mafia's nose in Turin; he does this by creating a massive traffic jam and then using a handful of then-novel original Minis to escape the city by an unconventional route. The chase rambled through sewers, up staircases, and over the racetrack-equipped roof of the Fiat factory.
The Italian Job:
The title of the episode — the third in MacGyver's first season — only amps up the ridiculousness. "The Thief of Budapest" takes place in Hungary, where Mac encounters a band of gypsies that help him acquire a stolen watch full of KGB secrets. MacGyver then agrees to help these gypsies escape to America, but first they have to create a traffic jam (which he does using a Swiss Army Knife and a credit card, natch) and cue up The Italian Job. Random Russian baddies were then cut into scenes of the trailing Alfa Romeo police cars in place of the Italian Carabinieri.
To review, the audience is supposed to not only not have seen The Italian Job before, but also believe that Turin is Budapest, that a show filmed almost exclusively in L.A. takes place all over the world, and that a government contractor could instantly arrange U.S. citizenship for a ragtag family of immigrant workers. Was all this merely an homage to a much-loved movie classic? Maybe, though don't seem to acknowledge it. Either way, it's pretty funny. Oh, 1985 — you were so innocent.
If you're interested, you can watch the full MacGyver episode on CBS's website.

Dubkapital Radio Show...every friday eve from 07:00 till 08:00 PM on (CIT Amsterdam time)
http://intergalactic.fm/ (channel one!) Most high in old school dub & roots reggae!
A little history...
Obi is a dub conqueror by heart and plays dub out of da most high, heavyweight dubness in full effect... balanced with the finest roots reggae.
For several years in his home town Rotterdam Obi initiated the so called 'Dub Delight' dub reggae parties regularly. Always a great vibe down in the 'dub cellar' onna lovely sound system until the place had to shut down in 1998. A special atmosphere had gone then with that location and hard to be found again nowadays. But from that time Obi played his style at several clubs, squad locations and coffeeshops. But also at more established locations like Paard (The Hague), Paradiso (Amsterdam) and Effenaar (Eindhoven). While doin' a Dj set he always throws in lots of effects, same ting in the Dubkapital Radio Shows as they are often drenched with analog sweeps, theremin effects, samples and tape delays. Obi's musical focus is not the recent stuff (dubstep only comes by very occasionally) but he always seem to find the forgotten gems, inna way you find yourself every time coming back for more!
Dubkapital Radio Shows are available for download (after broadcast) in the radio archive (256kb/ps) here at:
Look for 'Dubkapital Radio' among all others, due to maintanace it could be out of reach from time to time so please come back later.
Latest shows are also for the grab on http://soundcloud.com/obi1r while my strictly Japanese dub style session is highly recommended but only if you are over 18 plus, shake your hips and wet your pants... Rated R!

We realized a while ago that Bridget had shaved a couple of years off her age when coming to the US. Her actual birth year was 1894, supported by 1901 and 1911 census records and by parish records. However, 2 weeks after her 19th birthday she left for Ellis Island and apparently traveled faster than light arriving just a wee bit younger than when she had departed. But what can be said about her time growing up in Ireland?
Bridget grew up on a typical small Drumshanbo house. The family house had a roof of thatch or wood with just 3 rooms and 3 windows in front. There were 8 homes in her neighborhood (Largan) at that time, and all fit this description exactly. The property also had a cow house, a piggery, and a barn. 8 kids plus the parents meant 10 people shared the 3 rooms.
Two weeks before Bridget's 14th birthday her mother died. By age 16 she had moved away from home -- literally the only Mulvanerty in all of Ireland living outside of Co. Leitrim -- to be a servant for a rich widow. The widow's home was significantly larger than the home in which Bridget had grown up: both the walls and roof were solid (slate, iron, or tile roof) and there were 9 rooms, with 6 windows in front. There were numerous outbuildings, including stable, coach house, cow house, calf house, dairy, piggery, fowl house, barn, turn house, potato house, shed, and store.
Two years later she boarded the SS Cedric for an 8-day voyage to a new country with just $15 in her pockets. She arrived in New York City the year Grand Central opened having grown up in a town with a population of a few hundred tops. Fortunately she was not all on her own once she arrived: her cousin Katie was on the ship with her. Both girls listed their immediate US destination as 619 E. 134th St., New York, the home of Katie's brother Patrick Mulvey. This is a piece of a larger chain migration pattern involving the Mulvanerty and Mulvey families.
How you can find info like this:
- The National Archives of Ireland recently release the 1911 census records, so you can easily look people up there. Searching for Bridget Mulvanerty yields three entries, only one of which is the right age. Clicking on her will get you to a page that links to eight separate pages. One page provides info on the home (number of windows, etc.), another on outbuildings (like piggery, I just love that word). The first page page has the head of the household's signature, something I'm hoping may prove to be useful downstream.
- You can find Bridget's 1913 immigration record at the free Ellis Island site. If you search for her and click on her name, the first page you get is a cute certificate-like thingy. To get what you really want, click on "View Original Ship Manifest" and then on "Click to Enlarge Manifest". Bridget's manifest is two separate pages, so be sure to check adjacent pages. Her cousin Katie is the passenger listed immediately before Bridget. Always check immigration forms for people listed as coming from the same town/village.
- The 1901 Co. Leitrim census is searchable (without images) at the Leitrim-Roscommon web site. Volunteers transcribed the originals to create the searchable database. The National Archives of Ireland have announced that the 1901 census images will be available very soon (June?) so I'm hopeful that even more information will be available to us then.
- The Drumshanbo church parish records are on microfilm at the Family History Library. You can find a Family History Center near you and order and view films there (delayed gratification). Here is a photo of her baptism record from the film:

DALLAS — Rick Carlisle earned his reputation as one of the game's top coaches by bending, flexing and adjusting all the way to a six-game championship take-down of the Miami Heat in 2011.
Recall 5-foot-10 point guard J.J. Barea as an NBA Finals starting shooting guard?
The Dallas Mavericks have since gone 77-72 and haven't won another playoff game. And despite a roster that's read like a well-worn Rolodex, Carlisle has seemed only to enhance his image as an elite tactician and motivator. Carlisle's agility will be put to the test again this season in guiding a team that again barely resembles the one that preceded it.
From the 2010-11 championship team only Dirk Nowitzki and Shawn Marion remain. From the revamped squad insufficiently stocked to defend the title, add only Brandan Wright and Vince Carter as keepers. And from last season, add draft picks Jae Crowder and Bernard James. It's doubtful any coach, especially one that won a ring with the same franchise just three Junes ago, has witnessed such roster upheaval in three consecutive offseasons, and particularly so in these back-to-back summers.
"Back-to-back, probably not," Carlisle admitted. "But look, we're living in a different time. We're living in a time now where there's going to be more one-year deals, there's going to be more turnover, so everybody adjusts to the dynamics of the new CBA, and I don't know that that's going to happen for another year or two, at least. That said, if you're going to be a head coach in this league you've got to be very open-minded, you've got to be open to change and adaptation. You always want continuity, but you're not always going to have it."
The Mavs suffered the indignity of a lockout and the ratification of a game-changing collective bargaining agreement on the heels of their championship parade. On the fly, owner Mark Cuban championed new roster-building strategies that entailed allowing key members of his title team to walk. Plan A, to create cap space and lure max-dollar free agents to crowbar Nowitzki's championship window, hasn't panned out and Dallas has instead scrambled the last two summers to produce competitive rosters.
That can be a disheartening road for a coach who is just one of four currently in the league with a ring. Carlisle, though, has consistently endorsed his boss' decisions. Entering his sixth season in Dallas and the second year of his second four-year contract, Carlisle seems to embrace the challenges he inherits under Plan B. Of the four active championship coaches — including Miami's Erik Spoelstra, San Antonio's Gregg Popovich and Doc Rivers, now in charge of the Clippers — Carlisle's task is by far fraught with the most uncertainties.
"I just made a conscious decision that I'm not going to be a coach that's limited to a certain system," Carlisle said. "I'm hanging my hat on my ability to adapt each year to potentially a roster that's quite different, and with the new CBA we're going to have more of that in this league. I've done a lot of it in my career leading up to now anyway, so it's always challenging in those situations, but it's also exciting."
Just look at the players that have come through Dallas since the lockout ended: Kalenna Azubuike, Yi Jianlian, Lamar Odom, Delonte West, Sean Williams, Eddy Curry, Troy Murphy, Elton Brand, Darren Collison, O.J. Mayo, Chris Kaman, Jared Cunningham, Derek Fisher, Mike James, Dahntay Jones, Anthony Morrow, Chris Wright, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Justin Dentmon and Josh Akognon.
And here's the players new to Dallas for this season: Monta Ellis, Jose Calderon, Devin Harris, Wayne Ellington, Samuel Dalembert, DeJuan Blair, Gal Mekel, plus draft picks Shane Larkin and Ricky Ledo.
Last week Cuban set the bar for this team: The playoffs, and capable of doing damage once there. Carlisle didn't flinch.
"I think you have to view it that way," Carlisle said. "And, you've got to be careful. You've got to eliminate the external noise and the doubters and the naysayers and all that kind of stuff. You've got to have just a real positive enthusiasm and focus on your group, and you've got to see in your mind how they can get better. Then you've got to facilitate that."
Among Dallas media, at least, Carlisle was hailed as a Coach of the Year candidate for guiding last season's mismatched squad out of a 13-23 hole, one dug mostly without Nowitzki. Dallas finished 28-18 and was in the thick of the playoff chase almost until the end.
"Actually, I think Rick's system is just very comprehensive and he lets the players pick up as much of it as they can and so I think rather than try to force-feed things that they might not be able to do, Rick, I think, is more accommodating," Cuban said. "But I don't think he really changes his system, per se, or changes what he does. I think he just recognizes the skill set of his players. Like, he went from calling plays to just playing 'flow' all the time [with Jason Kidd]. That's his preference more than anything else, just let guys play basketball, and hopefully that's what we're going to be able to do a lot more of whereas last year we had to call plays every possession. This year I don't think we'll have to."
Last season's backcourt of Collison, who couldn't hold down the starting job, and Mayo never clicked. Fisher ditched the team after a month and James was erratic. Cuban believes this team offers Carlisle more raw material with which to work.
He believes it will be collectively smarter and less turnover-pron with Calderon at the controls, Harris backing him up and the speedy Ellis being able to get to the hole with a frequency the Mavs just haven't seen. All that, Cuban surmises, should play into the hands of a healthy and motivated Nowitzki.
"Each team is different, each team has different needs, each team develops differently and has to make different kinds of adjustments mid-stream," Carlisle said. "All that stuff is one of the real intriguing things about coaching. It's one of the reasons I love it. And one of the reasons I love working in this organization is we've got an owner with a fertile mind that likes the right kind of change.
"I'm down with that."

Harry Styles Parties With Blonde Following Norway Concert
Oh, Directioners, get ready to be SUPER jealous. Usually Harry Styles pursues ladies who have a certain amount of fame, but his most recent fling is reportedly with one of his fans!
Ladies all over the world are really wishing they could trade places with Norwegian Camilla Foss, an 18-year-old student who reportedly partied aboard a bus full of One Direction fans with Hazza. Foss is said to have met Styles at his Oslo hotel and extended the invite to Harry to get loose on a party bus with a group of friends.
A source told The Sun, "Harry was overjoyed to get the invite to jump on the bus with screaming fans.There were loads of girls pawing him, but he focused on Camilla. It got pretty sweaty in there." The source added that not only did he get her digits, but fans saw them smooching. There was even a Camilla sighting at Harry's hotel! Seems as though things got hot and heavy with the pair... Eat your heart out Kimberly Stewart!
We hope Harry Styles enjoys himself while on tour in Europe because we have a feeling the boys' U.S. tour will not afford many opportunities such as this one to get wild and crazy. 1D has reportedly hired President Obama's former secret service agents to ward off the band's very enthusiastic fans. Enjoy this while you can, Harry!
The guys have had an awfully eventful European tour and even covered the Backstreet Boys classic 'I Want It That Way' at their recent concert stop in Stockholm, Sweden. A great track passed between generations of boy bands!

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Kobe Bryant has opted for an innovative assist to relive pain in his oft-injured right knee, per a report from the Mike Bersnahan and Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times.
Bryant had the procedure done a month ago in Germany, according to the Times:
The treatment is a derivation of platelet-rich plasma therapy. PRP procedures are less invasive than many surgeries involving the knee and are viewed as either an emerging solution to knee problems or a financial gamble on unproven science.
Bryant, who turns 33 next month, has been bothered in recent seasons by an arthritic joint in his right knee. He has undergone three other knee procedures since 2003, including surgery last July to remove unspecified loose bodies.
He sat out an overwhelming majority of the Lakers' practices this past season and saw his scoring, shooting percentage and minutes decrease in his 15th NBA season. He has three years and $83.5 million left on his contract with the Lakers.
A report by ESPNLosAngeles.com cited several other notable professional athletes as having undergone the same procedure, including Tiger Woods, New York Giants defensive tackle Chris Canty and Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee. There was a much more descriptive definition of the procedure.

Malaysia is one of the fast growing countries that are developing in almost all the sectors like technology, medicine, information technology, science and fashion. This country has shown a splendid growth in all these sectors that has stunned the other spectator countries and more over, left them amazed on how fashion has squeezed in to become the most important element of their lifestyle. Malaysia fashion has now become synonym to the famous designer labels and brands that the world looks up to. It is just over the past decade that Malaysia has displayed such phenomenal growth and development.
Malaysia fashion is all about portraying their culture and values in an extremely bright and colorful manner. Almost all Malaysian outfits are known to be extremely comfortable and colorful. Malay women would be ideally seen wearing a loose fitting blouse and a long skirt that is extremely comfortable. The fabric used it generally with bright floral prints and designs that are eye catching as well as eye pleasing. People in Malaysia, even today, give high regards to their traditional costumes and love being dressed in their traditional outfits on auspicious days. They are closely and firmly attached to their tradition which is portrayed through their attire.
Moreover, with the world stepping online, so is Malaysia fashion! Just the way fashion has squeezed into every aspect of our lifestyle, it has also squeezed itself online in the form of Malaysia online shopping! This form of shopping has really elevated the sales and economy of the country and encourages several online entrepreneurs to venture deeper into this wide field of the web! Malaysia online shopping all brought about a revolution in the country by facilitating citizens to shop for all their favorite brands and products over the web with just a few simple clicks and at the ease of their own homes. This convenience cuts down the hassles of driving down to the most celebrated mall or boutique in town, hunt for a parking space and then jolt through several people and long queues outside the waiting rooms to get you the right fashion outfit!
Malaysia fashion has left behind an unimaginable impact on the lives of people offline and now it seems to be a common sight to see people talking about exclusive fashion brands and their products on a general note. Also, Malaysia online shopping is taking the impact online and creating an even more memorable impact. It wouldn't be wrong to say that today people in Malaysia talk, learn, imagine, dream and perhaps even breathe fashion. Shopping offline allows the people to touch and feel the products and get highly convinced to purchase it while shopping online gives them exclusive deals that are simply irresistible. Moreover, they can also lay their hands on the most exclusive and designer outfits from different parts of the world that they were unable to do otherwise. Believe it or not, but Malaysia fashion has kick started a new trend of shopping online and all that the spectators can do is get inspired!

Montreal is an average, scrambling for 8th place kind of team at best and as much of a Cary Price fan that I am, there is still a huge question mark in net. Not to mention their #1 defenseman is injured and the team is still overall very small.Montreal in 13th is not that big of a stretch at all. Although, if Montreal finishes in 13th, TO will be a lock at 15th in the East!!
quote:Originally posted by Beans15With all due respect Pasty. Blah, blah, blah.You are talking about issues that all team face from one time to another. Maybe not to that degree, maybe to a more significant degree. End of the day, there will be injuries, chemistry issues, what ever else with most every team in the NHL. End of the day, one must look at the talent. When I look at the Montreal team, there is 3-4 forwards that have big league skill and maybe 3 defensemen. Outside of that, the team is full of marginal NHL players or guys still developing.They are not as deep or talents than many of the other teams in the East this season. They finished 19th in the NHL overall last season and there really didn't do anything to make improvements over that. In fact, some would say they stepped backwards.

Story highlights
- Pinky Lilani OBE is an entrepreneur, public speaker and leading advocate for women
- We spoke to her in the lead up to International Women's Day
- Her unsung heroines include an Empress, politician, florist, and the founder of Mother's Day.
"Everything I do is centered around women," says Pinky Lilani. As founder of the Women of the Future Awards, the Asian Women of Achievement Awards and the Global Empowerment Award, it's fair to assume this is no exaggeration.
"Plenty of women are confident and talented but they still need champions; they need mentors," she explains.
And, since emigrating from India to the UK 34 years ago, Lilani has become just that -- earning herself an OBE from Queen Elizabeth II for services to women along the way.
To mark this year's International Women's Day we asked her which extraordinary women she believes are under-acknowledged for their achievements. From an empress to a humble florist, in her own words Lilani presents her five unsung heroines
Shaista Suhrawardy Ikramullah (1915-2000), politician, diplomat and author
Shaista Ikramullah was a woman before her time.
Her autobiography "From Purdah to Parliament" is a mesmerizing tale of a fearless Muslim woman who fought her way from veiled to valiant.
Ikramullah grew up in a society where women were not encouraged to have an education, but she ignored this culture and went on to become the first Muslim woman to receive a PhD from the University of London.
She was one of very few Muslim women to take part in the Pakistan movement and witness first hand the fall of the British empire. She became a member of Pakistan's parliament, an ambassador to Morocco and her country's delegate to the United Nations. This would have been a colossal feat for any woman at that time, let alone a Pakistani.
She also found time to be a mother of four and was a role model to millions. Her book "Behind the Veil: Ceremonies, Customs and Colour" is a collection of essays on Muslim society from a woman's perspective. It was published in 1953 but is still a crucial work for a country where, in my opinion, women are not given as much opportunity to progress as they are across the border in India.
Constance Spry (1886 -1960), educator, florist and author
My mother used to enter flower arranging competitions in Calcutta. She learnt everything she knew from Constance Spry. In fact, the only book I brought with me from India was my mother's "Constance Spry Book of Flower Arranging".
Constance had many strings to her bow -- this is also the woman who invented coronation chicken! She created the dish when catering for foreign delegates at the coronation of Elizabeth II.
The role of women was at the core of what she did. During both the World Wars she gave frequent lectures, teaching women about first aid, cookery, dressmaking and how to grow your own vegetables in times of austerity -- all priceless tools for empowerment.
But for me her flower arrangements are still her greatest achievement. After all, a beautified life is one full of spirit.
Anna Jarvis (1864-1948), founder of Mother's Day
As a daughter and a mother to two sons, I really believe in the commemoration of motherhood.
A lot of people forget to thank their mother, but thanks to an American woman called Anna Jarvis, who successfully campaigned to make Mother's Day a national holiday nearly 100 years ago, we have this day to remind us.
Sadly, before her death, Jarvis became disenchanted by the commercialization of her own accomplishment. She is recorded as saying that "a printed card means nothing except that you are too lazy to write to the woman who has done more for you than anyone in the world."
It's true that Mother's Day has become far too commercial. We shouldn't need a calendar date to acknowledge our mothers, but if it acts as a reminder of how pivotal mothers are then so be it.
Empress Dowager Cixi (1835-1908), empress of China
She may have been barbaric, some even say a despot, but I still see her as a heroine.
Cixi was an indigenous girl, an outsider who went from lowly concubine to China's leader for 47 years. It's a rags to riches tale like no other.
In a time when a childless Chinese woman was expected to kill herself as a mark of respect, she went on to be the most powerful female ruler China has ever had.
Yes, she may have resorted to Machiavellian tactics to get there but she managed to command a respect that no woman in China had ever achieved before.
Her resolve, resilience and tenacity should act as inspiration to any woman fighting against the odds.
Begum Om Habibeh Aga Khan (1906 - 2000), philanthropist and fourth wife of Aga Khan III
I grew up in an Ismaili community so we followed the Aga Khan. I always remember people talking about his French wife, Begum Om Habibeh (originally Yvette Blanche), with great compassion.
They came to my parent's wedding in Calcutta -- she was wearing a sari and a mink. I had never seen anyone wear a mink before.
It is extraordinary that a glamorous European woman managed to integrate so well into Ismaili society-- she had such an empathy with the community.
She was an unlikely national treasure but we loved her like Britain loves Kate Middleton -- she was always out in the community helping the poor and elderly and would relentlessly encourage education for women.
Her legacy remains in the Om Habibeh Foundation, whose programs have contributed to health, education and inclusion in some of the poorest areas of Egypt, where her and the Aga Khan are buried.

'Mr Big' has of course turned out to be Rudy Kurniawan, now being pursued by Bill Koch, as outlined in The strange case of Acker & Rudy.
Last October in New York I witnessed the most extraordinary auction take place. Over two long days John Kapon of Acker Merrall & Condit, a slight, bearded 35 year old, stood at a rostrum in the super-smart Café Gray in the Time Warner building overlooking Central Park working his way through 2,271 lots drawn from a rollcall of such starry wine names that the sale fetched well over $24 million. The previous record for a single-cellar sale, the Sotheby's Millennium Sale total of $14 million, had stood for seven years.
The scene was very different from the arid salerooms of Christie's and Sotheby's in London where the most nearest thing to sustenance is the auctioneer's glass of water. Kapon worked against a backdrop of white coated chefs hunched over stainless steel ranges and surfaces cooking up lunch, steam and lip smacking aromas rising up into the increasingly fevered atmosphere as prices continued to exceed already robust estimates. Groups of bidders lolled against the banquettes around the restaurant leafing through a sale catalogue as big as a photo album while sipping Coche Dury's and Domaine Leroy's finest Meursaults and occasionally waving their paddles. The young man at the table next to us with his girlfriend got through a bottle of Pétrus before ordering one of Musigny.
As 12.30 approached, supposedly the time when the morning session was due to end and the $75 lunch was to be served, there were still 150 lots to sell. Kapon continued, though the increasing culinary din, as waiters discreetly served the porcini, chestnut, salsify and scallop soup and a particularly delicious poached chicken with beautifully dressed beets and the paddles continued to swat the carefully conditioned air.
I learnt later that this Saturday lunch was a mere snackeroo compared with the feasts to which the serious bidders were treated that weekend. In a series that took in Cru, Per Se and Daniel, some of the most glamorously convincing bottles of the wines on offer were sampled. By chance at a friend's dinner party later that week I happened to be flanked by two successful bidders at the sale, both financiers, both thrilled to bits with their purchases, although they looked warily at their wives and talked of them sotto voce.
Magnums of 1911 and 1919 Romanée Conti went for $100,725 each, a dozen bottles of the famous 1947 Château Cheval Blanc for $112,575, six magnums (another of which once held the best wine I have every tasted) for £118,500. Six bottles of Roumier Bonnes Mares 1923 also fetched $112,575. Where on earth did Kapon find all this wine?
The most arresting aspect of this truly unparalleled sale is that all the wine for this two-day sale came from a single owner who turned 30 only this year, that this was the second of his big sales which together, he told me, constituted just one third of his wine collection.
Intrigued? I certainly was, and all the more so after talking to him by phone at his home in Los Angeles just after the sale. For rather obvious reasons he was coy about publicising his name, referring to himself simply as "tannic and square, just like the burgundies of the year of my birth, 1976". I see he has since been lured out of cover however, so I can identify him as Rudy Kerniawan, a participant in many a blowout wine tasting in the US.
He explained his relationship to wine thus: "My family like to drink, but they are not as…." ("obsessive?" I suggested) "yes, not as obsessive as me. I drank wine since I was small in the family but no single thing made me fall in love with it. Then six years ago in San Francisco celebrating my dad's birthday, we went in to some restaurant on Fisherman's Wharf with a great view of the Bay. I don't remember the name of it. The most expensive wine on the list was Opus One, and I thought I should buy it for my dad. I thought it had to be the best. It was a 1995. When the waiter came out with a 1996 I bitched and moaned, although actually I know now it's better. I loved it. My dad loved it. I thought I should learn more - and never looked back.
"I went round all the branches of the high end supermarket Bristol Farms in LA and bought every bottle of Opus One I could get my hands on. The next thing I knew, I had 200 bottles. I started reading about it in the magazines and would open five or six different similar bottles in one night, trying to see the differences between them, educating myself over the same bottles looked at over three or four days. Then I started to do the same thing with other sorts of wine."
I think we can assume then that Rudy was not kept short of pocket money. His family have businesses in Asia. "Yes they're doing well, which means that I can afford to have a very enjoyable life." But how the heck did he come about quite so many thousand bottles of wine in less than six years? People are increasingly worried about provenance nowadays.
"I just kept finding wine at auctions. I bought very aggressively. I never say 'Give me two bottles'. I say, 'How many cases do you have? Twenty? I'll take them.' People started to know I was buying and they would offer me stuff directly before they're offered to auction houses. I've been very lucky. I've also been generous, and fair, with people. I've drunk with lots of older collectors. I've been lucky, They realise that bottles they paid $5 for years ago are now worth thousands of dollars and it's shocking to them. A lot of these older people know me and my palate and they're pretty amazed by it. I'm proud of it. We often taste double blind [not knowing anything about the wine being tasted] and a lot of times I get pretty close, or even spot on.
"But already I've had it all, it's in my memory. If you ask me how 1911 Romanée Conti tastes, I know, I remember it. I'm more of a drinker. I don't want that bottle sitting in my cellar. I pride myself that I drank it, several times. It's a memory. I had it with many, many good friends. When John [Kapon] comes out with notes on my wines, it makes me happy.
"Fifty years down on road when we're grandpas, we can still talk about opening that bottle and that magical memory. That's the value of wine. It's priceless. It's better than keeping a bottle in the cellar. I realise lots of my wines have gone to investors or collectors who may not open them, but they're made to be drunk."
"Part of the reason I'm selling is that by now I really know what I like. Take the 2005 bordeaux futures. I didn't buy a single case of 2005 left bank because I really like the right bank wines, and Graves. Rhône and Italian wine doesn't do that much for me. I like Burgundy, and I know the producers I like: Rousseau, DRC, de Vogüé, Roumier, Ponsot, Dujac. I sort of limit myself now to what I really like. I sold because the wine market's hot at the moment and people are thirsty for great wine. Like me four years ago, they're all drooling over it."
All of this suggests that London will continue to lose out to the US, and New York in particular, in terms of the most glamorous wine sales. That, after all, is where the money, enthusiasm and sometimes pure craziness seems to be.
9 Mar 2012 - This paragraph was added later: Mr Big/Rudy K is quite aware how naturally questions of provenance arise with a collection like this. "When I go to restaurants and drink great wines, I'm very careful to ensure that the empty bottles are trashed or the labels are marked so they can't be re-used. But I don't keep records. I'm quite amazed when I look at auction catalogues which detail house sales that have receipts back to the 1960s. In Asia we don't keep records. I throw away my bank statements next day. I don't like paperwork."

I got nothing. Just wow.
One client said:
"I would do anything to protect her...
"She is worth every penny. I will go bankrupt before I stop seeing her. I hope no one else goes to see her, because I want her all to myself....I never thought I would find anyone in this hobby like her."
It's sad. I think it's clear she has some mental health issues.
Feeling guilty here wrote:
I keep laughing at these posts, and then feel guilty when I do. I'm fairly certain this is going to blow up her entire life. This woman has a daughter. I hope they find her some help.

Man, this site rules so much that it's hard to really know where to start with it. Ever since we saw a parade of Amphicars tool down the Sacramento River, we've been smitten with the idea of amphibious vehicles. John and Julie Giljam founded Cool Amphibious Manufacturers International out of a frustration that they couldn't find non-military-surplus amphibious vehicles for their tour company. Now they've got an amphibious RV, a Ford Excursion-based yacht tender, and an LS2-powered amphibious sports car in their lineup, as well as their original design, the Hydra Terra. We've seen the Terra Wind on TV, and the thing is simply mind-boggling.

Sea Rim State Park redevelopment underway
Staff Report
Design work is underway to redevelop Sea Rim State Park whose facilities were damaged first by Hurricane Rita, rebuilt and
again destroyed in September 2008 by Hurricane Ike before the park could
According to park superintendent Tracy Ferguson, there is both
drive-on and pedestrian access to the beach. The ¾-mile Gambusia
Boardwalk also has been restored, and for the first time in park
history, seasonal equestrian use is being allowed from December through
"Even with limited facilities, it's great to see the park open again
for public use," Ferguson says. "If you're looking for a primitive
escape along the gulf, you'll find it on Sea Rim's secluded five-mile
stretch of beach."
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has developed a two-phase
master plan to redevelop the state park that the agency expects to begin
implementing next summer. Construction of some of the facilities is
expected to take a couple of years. The 81st Legislature provided $2
million for the recovery of Sea Rim State Park. So far, all storm debris
and destroyed facilities have been removed and the park has been
reopened on a limited basis.
All new park facilities, which will include a headquarters building
and a residence for park personnel, will be designed to meet state
building codes for hurricane resistance and conserve energy.
Though the park has limited services it is a great get away location
with five miles of Gulf Coast Beach access. The state park, which
currently offers only limited facilities such
as portable toilets and trash receptacles, is open for day use ($3) and
primitive camping ($10). Park fees are collected through a self-pay
The park was named for a portion of the Gulf of Mexico shoreline
where inland mud flats and tidal marshes meet the sea. The park
encompasses more than 4,000 acres of marshlands and more than five miles
of gulf shoreline. Highway 87 splits the park into the D. Roy
Harrington Beach Unit and the Marshlands Unit.
Phase I construction sets forth the construction of a boardwalk to
the beach, a maintenance building, park superintendent's residence, two
public vault toilets, a limited potable water distribution system and a
wastewater collection and treatment system, according to Gary Kosut,
TPWD Infrastructure Division project manager for the Sea Rim
redevelopment. He says once work begins, it is expected to require nine
months to a year to complete.
In addition, the Texas Department of Transportation is slated to begin work at the park in 2012.
"The Texas Department of Transportation will reconstruct park roads
and parking lots for day-use visitors," says Darrell Owens, the
Infrastructure Division's TxDOT program manager. Roadway construction is
scheduled to begin in the late summer of 2012."
The roadway system will include 15 pull-through RV camping sites with
electric, water and wastewater hookups. An unpaved equestrian unloading
area and trail to the beach also will be built.
Phase II of the redevelopment plan, which will provide for the
completed build-out of the park as detailed in the Sea Rim State Park
Redevelopment Master Plan, has not been funded. It calls for
construction of a headquarters building, camping area restroom with
showers, 10 tent platforms, a central water-wastewater facility, water
distribution system, a dune walkover, wildlife-viewing blind, equestrian
camping accessories and fish-cleaning shelter.
Sea Rim State Park, which opened to the public in 1977, has
traditionally drawn thousands of outdoor lovers, who come to fish,
sunbathe, paddle the marshlands, camp and observe the park's great
diversity of birds and other wildlife. The park is located along the
Greater Texas Coastal Birding Trail and serves as a rest stop for
numerous species of migrating birds traversing the Central Flyway.
For more information about Sea Rim State Park, call park superintendent Tracy Ferguson at (409) 971-2559.

H G L (His Good Life)
We are a young and up coming bespoke tailoring business based in Sydney Australia. Our view is to bring finely tailored shirting to the average man at affordable prices. We add a modern twist to the classicly elegant profession with the view of introducing the average Joe to the pinnacle of mens fashion era ( think the 60s - "Mad Men" ).
We want to strike our customers with a design that is simple yet elegant and refreshing.
White collar men aged 25 - 55 who would wear business shirts on a daily basis.
We would like the following in our logo:
- The company name " H G L" and its meaning " His Good Life" to be prominent yet simplistic.
- Perhaps including a tape measurer in the logo and possibly other tailoring apparatus like Mannequins or Scissors. (feel free to be creative)
- We also would require the logo itself to be practical on both business cards and the actual shirt stitched label - H G L should be the centre focus, creative additions should be detached from the main letters as only HGL will appear on the shirt label.
- We want to project a 60s image where men's fashion was at its height like the way they are dressed in the hit TV series "Mad Men"
- We want to project a simple, elegant, polished and crisp image that gets the point across that we are a tailoring business.
- We DO NOT want something that's too busy and full featured.

Why See Allen Stone?
Son of a preacher man with vocal chops!
Allen Stone was raised on Gospel and cut his teeth singing in church when he was a youngster, leading the congregation in song with an emotive voice and his trusty acoustic guitar. With the discovery of classic Soul music in his teens, Stone began his transformation into the sensational singer-songwriter he is today. His folksy, bluesy brand of neo-soul combines a vintage aesthetic with an astounding vocal technique.
Catch this hugely talented singer as he heads out on a tour of the US to support his latest album, his first since 2015's 'Radius'. Each show is a throwback to the heyday of a bygone era with Stone channelling the likes of Bill Withers, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. His voice is simply peerless today, with an unparalleled musicality reflected in the lilt, syncopations and embellishments of his voice. He's unafraid to groove and be moved by his music, allowing his audiences to join in and get lost in each sweet, stirring moment.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Dozens of bills have been introduced in the Florida Legislature since 2002 aimed restricting motorist cellphone use or texting, but none has made it to the governor's desk.
One lawmaker believes 2013 could be different.
State Sen Nancy Detert, a Venice Republican, says her bill -- introduced for the fourth time -- bans drivers from sending or receiving messages while operating a vehicle.18267810
Detert says the bill has passed the Senate twice but was never heard in the House.
"But this year is going to be our year. We have a good House sponsor. We have a good Speaker of the House, good Senate president, so the no-texting-while-driving bill, I hope, will pass this year," Detert said.
Under Detert's bill, drivers could still read navigational devices or weather alerts.
AAA Auto Club South says a survey it commissioned shows 87 percent of motorists support laws prohibiting texting or emailing while driving.
"Texting while driving, distracted driving as a whole counts for about 18 percent of fatalities in the nation," said AAA's David Cawton. "That's about f5,000 deaths a year that can be basically avoided just by putting your phone down and keeping your eyes on the road."
The same survey shows that 69 percent of Americans acknowledge talking on their cellphones while driving within the past 30 days, while 24 percent say they have sent texts or emails.
Text messaging is already banned for all drivers in 39 states and the District of Columbia.
Under the proposed Florida Senate bill, texting while driving would be punishable by a $30 fine.
Channel 4 crime and safety expert Ken Jefferson said it's a law that is long overdue.
"There are some people who think they are pros at it," said Jefferson. "They can drive with one hand and hold the phone up toward the steering wheel and text with one finger and they have it under control, but they really don't."
Most drivers Channel 4 spoke with Thursday night admitted to texting and driving, but agreed that a change is needed.
"Great idea, yeah, great idea. Because I've heard it's more dangerous, it's killing more people than drinking and driving," said one driver.
Jefferson suggested drivers put themselves back in control while they driving until the law is officially on the books.
"Put the cell phone in the back seat of your car. Just place it in the back seat or the glove box where you won't be tempted," said Jefferson.

Look Homeward, Angel
Lost Paradise
In the summer of 2003, as part of that year's Lincoln Center Festival, members of the public were offered a guided walk around selected New York sites, beginning on Roosevelt Island and ending in the Chrysler Building. As they proceeded from site to site, they were invited to keep an eye out for angels. And at certain sites they did indeed get to see angel-actors, some with wings, some without, some gazing into the distance, some sleeping. At other sites there were merely traces of past angelic visits: feathers, for example.
The event was the brainchild of the British theater director Deborah Warner. In its first version, dating back to 1995 and as yet sans angels, it was set in a huge abandoned nineteenth-century London hotel; its goal was to evoke ghostly presences from the building's past. In 1999 Warner presented a revised version with angels added. For the angels, said Warner, she was indebted to Rilke. "There's a wonderful quote from Rilke which says that angels are uncertain if they are walking amongst the living or the dead." In 2000 the revised version was exported to Perth, capital of Western Australia.
Responses of participants in the Angel Project varied widely. According to some, the presence of otherworldly beings changed the nature of their gaze, aestheticizing their view of the city. Others dismissed the project as mere Disneyfication, exploitation of a millenary craze for angels. Yet others were deeply moved. "They cried a lot," said Warner, looking back on the 1999 London performance. "We put angels up at the top of the empty floors of the Euston Tower watching over London. And again, people's response, terribly, terribly emotional. I think it's about loss of innocence."
Among visitors to the 2000 Angel Project was the Dutch writer Cees Nooteboom, in Perth to take part in the city's arts festival. Nooteboom's novel Lost Paradise, published in the Netherlands in 2004, draws heavily on recollections of that visit, as we shall see.
Alma, the heroine of Lost Paradise, and her bosom friend Almut are young Brazilians of German descent (their grandfathers came to Brazil after the Second World War). Almut is down-to-earth and hedonistic, Alma (whose name means "soul") more introspective and melancholy—she has a "shadow" within her. Both are graduates in art history. One day, for no good reason, Alma drives into São Paulo's most notorious favela. Her car stalls; a gang of men drag her out and rape her. She descends into a profound depression. For both this condition and the men who caused it she uses the phrase "black cloud."
Why did she venture into the forbidden territory of the favela? Her answer: she was in the grip of a demon that she calls "the mood" (Dutch stemming, from stem, "voice"). The mood has been long familiar to her, in the way that a demon or an inner voice can be a familiar. She gives a close account of its three stages: premonition, possession proper, aftermath.
Since childhood Alma…

Reviewed by J.B. (age 9)
I think Night of the Howling Dogs is a great book because it gives examples of trust, kindness, danger and survival. My favorite part is when they wander up the mountain over lava and help each other so they won't die. The unique thing about this book is that there is no other book that is similar. This great book is not part of a series nor does it have any pictures. I liked being able to make my own images as I read.
I recommend this book to people who like adventure, survival and fictional history because it gives very good detail and description of people, dangers, sounds, vision, feelings and animals they encounter.

Erin brought this totally delicious and unexpected Vegan "Seafood" Salad - made with hearts of palms and various sea veggies and served with butter lettuce. I really loved this salad - and it was so different from anything I've had before. Yum.
Not Pictured: Well shoot! It seems there's always one thing that goes uncaptured! My friend Laurie, who has just recently started a vegan blog of her own, brought along two really great spreads from the new book Herbivore: a romesco dip thickened with oats, and a white bean-pesto dip. Along with the dips were little baguette slices and gluten free crackers. Those dips were SO DELICIOUS, and - incidentally - they were red and green, which was very festive!
HotVeganChickpeas has a lot of persimmons this year, so one of the cookies she brought was this big bowl of Persimmon Cookies. I think she said that she had just looked up recipes online, and she definitely found a winner. The texture was very cakey, which I don't always love in a cookie, but it really works in these cookies. They were light and almost fluffy, and absolutely delicious!
ColdandSleepy showed up with her whole awesome family AND two excellent batches of treats. These Rumnog Pecan Spice Cookies (I think she said the recipe was from Veganomicon) were one of my favorite cookies of the whole night... which sort of surprised me. I always think of myself as a chocolate person - but these babies really stole my heart with their holiday spices, nutmeg, and pecans. I'm definitely going to remember this recipe for future cookie parties!

We needed to find a new place to rent and after looking around and finding very few suitable places, Matt suggested camping in our RV for the summer. So we looked around, found a fantastic RV park and pulled in.
Like the couple traveling the country with their two Amazonian parrots. Or the 80-year-old couple with a tent that was manufactured 60 years ago - by the wife - when they first got married and they still use when they take trips. Or the grandparents taking their Hawaiian grandson on a trip through the mainland. Or the little girl whose mother wouldn't leave her trailer so she wanted to live at ours. Or the couple with dachshunds. Or the 50-year old lesbian couple that was so open and willing to answer my children's questions. Or the man who had throat cancer and now speaks like a robot. Or the man blacksmith who travels to different festivals selling his iron works.
Or the family who travels in a school bus painted blue and has kids just the right size and temperament to mesh well with ours. I could go on and on.
We've eaten a lot of ice cream.
(picture by Hannah)
We've gone fishing so many times, but the fish do love us if you know what I mean.
Zander's done everything he can to convince us he's one of the dogs.
To that end (and just because I really, really like fresh kale and basil) we sourced out a fantastic little farm to pick fresh veggies since we can't grow our own here.
Hannah put together a dog show for the RV park and talked other campers into participating.
We've only had a few days of bad weather, but we've used those to explore new games that have been big hits.
And one of the best things is this -
We're not planning on being here past the summer, but it's been a wonderful summer.
