These are my latest four. The one with keys on it lives in my handbag and the other three are destined as gifts.
Do you think the blue/grey one is masculine enough for a guy? Maybe I should make a shorter one for him so it's more of a fob rather than a lanyard?
I've found that 10 pieces of fabric 2 1/2 inches by 4 inches sews up to the perfect length. Not so long that you have a huge handful of lanyard, but enough that you can sling it round your neck if you are wrestling kids or shopping bags. (I gave a quick tutorial on how to sew these here.)
Two of the lanyards match a couple of bags I've made. Cheesy, but I couldn't resist!
The bags are reversible so you can choose your fabric to match your mood. The black/orange one is a bit bigger than the Little Red Riding hood one but they are both pretty roomy. I have two of the larger size ones and they are the best for toting round a big quilt project. I can fit a queen size quilt in it - seriously!
If either of my two sisters who are yet to have birthdays this year wanna get dibs on one of these bags - let me know!

The art of awakening the healer within you is through attention and widening your ability to let go of what is not needed. In many ways, it is attention and imagination that can lead the mind to understand mysteries that may not seem rational at first. Can you visualize what you want as clear, clean and whole? Write it down first. Then draw it. Close your eyes and feel it, run your fingers across the words and allow images to form. Breathe.
Then let the picture in your mind become the problem, and see it, feel it as whole, solved, clear, clean. Perhaps your attention, first, must be drawn to what is not whole, solved, clear or clean. Accept what you see. No denial, no repression. Observe. Witness and participant both.
Then image it the way you want it to be, whole vibrant and full of life. That is the meditation. That is where attention is invested in the re-directing of the mind in concert with the fields of possibilities. Life is vast.
The trick is to let go of the details. Let the concept, the big picture be what it is to be. You can not control the world, but you can control your responses to it. You can create the image, or intuit the image. Either way, see it, sense it, be it and allow what is to be whole, to be clear. The calm that follows makes the changes vibrant.
In job search, in healing a broken heart, in creating an amazing art work. Write it down. How does it feel? Run your fingers across the words. Let the images forms. Be the process, be the product, be the creator of both. Align inside and out.
See the reality, and flow. Let the reality – flow.
Healing starts, with attention.

One Foot on the Moon
Uri Avnery
Last month, the Knesset voted 47 to 34 to pass the preliminary reading of a bill that threatens imprisonment for anyone who questions Israel's claim to be a Jewish and democratic state. The private member's bill, proposed by Zevulun Orlev of the Jewish Home party, calls for up to one year's imprisonment for anyone who publishes 'a call that negates the existence of the state of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state', if it might lead to 'actions of hate, contempt or disloyalty against the state or the institutions of government or the courts'.

Planning a Monitor Audio surround sound system? The Silver C350 center channel speaker is the ideal choice as the centerpiece of your system — especially if you have a large room. It features a three-way design, which sonically matches Monitor's other three-way Silver Series speakers (Silver 100, Silver 300, and Silver 500).
The warm, natural sound of the Silver C350 is in part due to its carefully designed rock-solid enclosure, which resists vibrations that can color sound and reduce clarity. Its sealed design lets you place it inside an entertainment cabinet or position it close to a wall, without worrying about speaker ports needing to "breathe."
This handsome center channel is available in a variety of real-wood veneer and high gloss finishes.
The Silver C350's 1" gold dome tweeter is positioned above a dedicated 4" midrange driver, which combine for crystal clear dialogue. Low-end punch comes courtesy of two beefy 6" woofers, which allow the C350 to produce satisfying bass and lifelike center-stage sound effects.
An advanced crossover network ties the drivers together and ensures smooth, full-range sound throughout the speaker's frequency range.
Complete your Silver Series home theater system with these voice-matched speakers:
Bookshelf speakers: Silver 50 or Silver 100
Floor-standing speakers: Silver 200, Silver 300, or Silver 500
Surround speakers: Silver FX
Round out the low end with the powerful Silver W12 powered subwoofer.

orlando, Aguada, PR
Average Customer Review(s):
Clarity and smooth and heavy for great loud sound. Perfect for my yamaha 3090
Great sound and gets very loud and clear. Perfect addition to my home theater.
The Monitor Audio Silver C350 was a massive upgrade from my K&M 7. I spend a great deal of time researching new fronts and a mid, wanting to round out an already top notch entertainment system. The 350 exceeded my expectations in the areas of speech articulation and the range needed for my theater application. The speaker box was a perfectly polished piano black (which also matched my 300's). My fiance was well pleased with it's rich, pristine glossy aesthetic. Crutchfield staff was quick, courteous, respectful and professional. I look forward to doing business with them again in the future.
Pros: The Silver 350 exceeded my expectations. Crutchfield staff were were able to answers my questions quickly and professionally. Address discrepancy was handled with ease.
Cons: None. Thanks Crutchfield!

Silver Series: Revered by audiophiles around the globe, Monitor Audio's award-winning Silver Series enters its sixth generation with a host of new features that make it perform even better than previous generations. Monitor Audio's Silver Series combines engineering excellence with fabulous design to create an audiophile-grade hi-fi or home theatre loudspeaker. The Silver Series loudspeakers produce abundant dynamics, rich textures, and immense detail that allow you to enjoy absolute clarity and pinpoint imaging.
Note: The Silver Series consists of bookshelf loudspeakers (50/100), floorstanding loudspeakers (200/300/500), center-channel loudspeakers (C150/C350), and a surround loudspeaker (FX), plus a powered subwoofer (W-12) to create a complete home theater system.
3-Way Center-Channel Loudspeaker: Monitor Audio's Silver C350center-channel loudspeaker utilizes a 3-way driver, 4-driver configuration with a newly designed 1" C-CAM Gold Dome tweeter, specially developed 4" C-CAM RST midrange driver, and two new 6" C-CAM RST midbass/bass concave "dished" woofers. This 3-way, 4-driver configuration allows each driver to be optimized to do a better job over a narrower frequency. What makes the Silver C350 even more special is the vertical orientation of the mid and tweeter axis which delivers the same directivity as the other speakers in the Silver Series line-up, while the pair of 6" woofers produce powerful midbass/bass.
C-CAM Technology: C-CAM driver technology is used throughout the Monitor Audio Silver Series loudspeaker line-up, providing coherent tonal balance and sonic signature across the entering audio frequency spectrum.
RST (Rigid Surface Technology): The Silver Series combines Rigid Surface Technology (RST) with its C-CAM cone woofer design for a stronger, lighter weight cone. The Rigid Surface Technology (RST) cone profile was inspired by the Japanese art of Origami, which demonstrates how a very light material (like paper) can be strengthened and made more rigid by making small and precise folds on it surface. Developed and perfect using sophisticated computer modeling (Finite Element Analysis), the Silver Series midbass drivers have been strengthened by a pattern of dimples. RST significantly increases cone rigidity, allowing the radiating surfaces to resist mechanical bending forces, which can twist the shape of conventional driver cones to produce distorted sound. The strengthening effect of RST means that Monitor Audio can use thinner, lighter and more responsive C-CM cones which provide speed and accuracy while offering greatly reduced distortion. The RST patterns also help to displace standing waves that can propagate on the cone's surface.
Rigid Construction: Strategic cabinet bracing and Monitor Audio's bolt-through technology creates an amazingly solid speaker. Not only can it play louder and cleaner than its size suggests, it delivers an incredibly well balanced, pure midrange for a natural sound. Design criteria ensure that the Silver C350 will make the most of smaller living spaces by being placed close to a wall and yet still deliver clean, punchy bass. You will only hear well-balanced, pure midrange without ever a hint of box coloration.
Dual Gold-Plated Binding Posts: The Silver Series bookshelf loudspeaker has two sets of gold-plated binding posts connected by wire-jumpers. The gold-plated binding posts will accept bare wire (up to 10AWG), pin connectors, & banana plugs (single only). To use banana plugs, you will need to remove each binding post's plastic insert. Using the dual posts, you can bi-wire or bi-amp the speaker. Bi-wiring or bi-amping the speaker provides improved bass & treble performance.
Note: If you decide to bi-wire or bi-amp the speaker, you must remove the jumpers between the terminal posts (failure to do this could result in damage to your amplifier and loudspeakers).
Applications: The Silver C350 center-channel loudspeaker has been carefully tuned to match the timbre of the other speakers in Monitor Audio Silver Series line-up, resulting in a consistent sonic character across the front channels of a home theater system.
At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what's in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.
My husband has the Monitor Audio speakers, I'm giving this center speaker as a Christmas gift to match. [ Jennifer Nov 27, 2018 ]
I chose the Monitor Audio Silver 300 due to their great reputation, positive user reviews, I have seen many reviews that say they sound good at both low volume as well as high and being 8ohm and high sensitivity it will be easy to drive and both The Absolute Sound and Stereophile also gave them positive reviews.

|This is the tile I finally decided on. These tiles are attached to a mesh background to keep them evenly spaced and easier to install.
Now that the cement countertops are in at my Cairo investment house, it's time to finish off the details in the kitchen. Nothing adds pizazz like an attractive backsplash. I hemmed and hawed about which one to pick and was pretty stuck on a classic subway tile, but in the end it just seemed too blah with the basic white tile floor and beige countertops. I brought home a dozen different options to look at in the space. Most were too dark, many were too busy, and for some the color just wasn't quite right. In the end, I selected a mosaic with white (gloss) and grey/green (matte) glass tiles and beige travertine tiles mixed in the pattern. A mosaic in this instance is when small tiles come attached to a mesh to create a tile pattern - usually one square foot. This makes the installation much easier than if you had to line up each individual tile yourself.
I have done my own tile work, both floors and back-splashes. But for this project I hired my favorite handy tile guy, Pepe. He is a master with tile, even using a dremel tool to make intricate cuts around trim work or other obstacles. He is fast (which I am not) and sometimes time is money. It's important when you are doing rehab work for investment to know when doing it yourself is costing you, and this was one of those times where I felt it was worth hiring the work done.
My costs:
$256 - tile (32 square feet @ $8 per square foot)
$12 - grout (non-sanded, left over from cement countertops
$13 - mortar (or mastic)
$200 - labor (This also takes into account the tools you wouldn't have to buy when you DIY)
$481 - total
|The mortar or the "glue" that sticks the tiles on the surface.
|Grout goes in-between the individual tiles once the mortar is set. This gives a finished, seamless look. You can use a contrast color, or choose one that blends in.
|The tile and the walls before installation.
|These walls were just begging for a pretty backsplash! The two tiles in the background were under consideration, but didn't make the cut.
|And the backsplash in place. I really like it. Now I just need to get in the light fixtures, GFCI's, appliances...
I am pleased with the results. It adds an instant update to the kitchen, and adds protection to the walls. The hardest part was selecting the tile. While $8 per square feet seems kind of expensive, and it is compared to floor tile, you have to realize that you only need a relatively small amount of tile. I think it was well worth it.

I must start blogging more often, so:
1. Cocoa, the first mini issue of Tension, is coming up fast. We are wrapping things up and Josi is madly coding, stitching, and photo editing all at the same time; she is a power house, people. I will have a recipe, a pattern or two, and an interview. We will also be announcing a fabulous giveaway shortly! Follow us on twitter, Ravelry, or Facebook to keep up to date.
2. I have to make exercise a habit again. That experiment I did, where I didn't exercise and ate anything I wanted to eat, just didn't work out so great for my waistline. So, I set a 21 day goal of Jazzercise. Supposedly, it takes 21 times to make a habit (no clue where I heard that). The idea is that once I get to 21 Jazzercize (is it a z or an s?) classes my habit will be established. Today was day 11. I thought about a maple bar doughnut while doing crunches.
3. Tomorrow is my son's 7th birthday. This is shocking to me.

Hi Julie!
I've been attending Jazzercise (it's an S) for around 15 years! It's really just the most fun exercising you can have. I always say 30 days makes a habit, but really, I could get in the habit of eating donuts everyday in say like 3 days or so. So, I guess it depends on what it is. Good luck!

The brewer is changing advertising for Coors Light as the beer heads for its second straight down year, with new 15-second spots touting Coors Light as "the coldest-tasting beer in the world." The spots employ imagery of refrigerated delivery trucks and Coors Light's cold-filtration brewing process, and note that most other domestic beers are heat-pasteurized.
With the new work, Coors is de-emphasizing the raucous "Rock On" effort heavy on crunching rock and cleavage.
The 2-year-old campaign tested well with young adults but didn't move product, leading the brewer to call for its agencies to pitch new ideas on Coors Light earlier this year (AA, June 14). The new effort was created by its agency of record, Interpublic Group of Cos.' Foote Cone & Belding, Chicago.
A Coors spokeswoman wouldn't comment on specific future advertising plans, but said the cold positioning will be an important component, including in lifestyle ads.
The effort encroaches on the positioning of rival Miller Brewing Co., which uses a cold filtration process for Miller Genuine Draft and has played that up in recent work, including "President of Beer" spots from independent Wieden & Kennedy, Portland, Ore.
Coors Light's weakness is bad news for Coors Brewing, since the light beer represents 75% of its sales. Beer distributors sold less Coors Light to retailers and bars during the first 36 weeks of the year than during the same period in 2003, according to executives familiar with the numbers, leaving the brand on track to post its second straight down year.
During the 36 week period, Coors Light "removals"-sales by distributors to retailers-fell 1.8% in "priority" markets that represent about a third of the Coors Light volume, the executives said. Removals fell 2.2% nationwide. A Coors spokeswoman wouldn't comment on the 36-week numbers or whether Coors Light sales will decline this year.
"It looks like they'll have their second down year in a row, barring a miraculous fourth-quarter recovery," said Benj Steinman, editor and publisher of industry newsletter Beer Marketer's Insights. He noted that Coors Light sales have suffered in key markets including Dallas-Fort Worth and Pennsylvania.
Coors was on a tear in the mid-to-late 1990s, but sales started flattening in 2001. Last year shipments from the brewer to wholesalers dropped 2% to 16.6 million barrels as the overall industry slipped 0.3%, according to Beer Marketers Insights.
turned tables
Coors Light grew at the expense of Miller Lite, but now the tables have turned. Lite, brewed by SABMiller's Miller Brewing Co., has mounted a yearlong comeback and has regained sales from Coors Light. Much of that has been attributed to the "Good Call" umbrella campaign.
During the first six months of the year, Coors spent $63 million on Coors Light, down 7% from the year-earlier period, according to figures from TNS Media Intelligence/CMR. Miller spent $64 million on Miller Lite, down 3%, while Anheuser-Busch Cos. boosted spending on Bud Light 17% to $81 million. During 2003, Coors spent $126 million on Coors Light, just behind the $130 million A-B spent on Bud Light, and Miller threw $119 million behind Miller Light.

Since completing Anne Maria, I've returned to stitching on models. First was my reproduction of Elizabeth Wood's 1822 sampler. I mentioned in an earlier blog post that Elizabeth's border has an unusual shape, an octagon. I've debated how to best frame her: Do I simply put her in a regular frame? If so, do I mat her in such a way to draw attention to the octagon border? Or do I have an octagon-shaped frame made? I'm leaning toward the latter because that is how the original antique was framed.
Over the past couple of weeks, I've been working on a new original design sampler. Hopefully, in another week or two, I'll have it completed. For now, I'll tell you that there are lots of flowers in the border and also a satin-stitched sawtooth inner border.
I hope you'll like these new designs.

Revolving Torsion (1972-3) is a late work by the Russian sculptor Naum Gabo, who died in 1977.
Born Naum Pevsner in Russia, he changed his name when he took up sculpture to avoid confusion with his elder brother Antoine who was a painter. He was a truly international modernist, fluent in several languages, studying medicine, science and engineering in Munich before becoming a full-time artist and working in Paris, Copenhagen and Oslo. At the outbreak of the Russian Revolution he returned to Moscow where he pioneered the Constructivist movement, even coining the name.
Later he moved to Germany to teach at the Bauhaus, developing the theory of Kinetic Art that aims to exploit motion or the illusion of motion for its impact.
As a Jew, the rise of the Nazis forced him to move first to Paris and then to London. In 1946 he went to America.
Revolving Torsion certainly has a lot of movement in it, looking like a part of some turbine that interacts with the multiple jets of the fountain. Creating the sweeping stainless steel blades must have drawn considerably on the engineering skills he had picked up all those years before.
Unfortunately it is rather upstaged by the building behind.

What Do You Do After a Tragedy?
I've received some heart-wrenching emails in the past, but this one had me in tears. I was easily able to put myself in this young man's place, and to feel what he was feeling. Here's his email (with a few edits for clarity):
Hello Sir,
I have been following your blog for quite sometime now but never wrote any comment or emailed you. I was always fascinated with the kind of relationship you have with your partner. I wanted to have the same kind with my partner, but unfortunately he died, this 20th August 2013, Tuesday. We knew each other since March 2011, wanted to live life together, make a home together, work together, but everything was snatched away from us in one dreadful moment. I always told him your stories, and he used to say that he wanted to be like you and wants me to be like your partner–he wanted to write and take care of our home.
He went to his place on 19th August in Rishikesh on Rakhi (a Hindu festival). The next day, with his friend, he went to river Ganga, saw an old lady crying for help, and went to rescue her. In the process, his feet slipped and he drowned, never to return again. We have not been able to find his body yet, which I am sure we won't be able to, after more than 15 days.
I also saw dreams. He loved me truly and I also loved him truly. I am numb and blank. I have no energy left in me. Wherever I see, I see his face only. Everything reminds me of him.
I am writing to you, because I am sure you would understand what I am going through. It's like I lost my family, he was my family. In a country like India, where there is so much taboo about gay relationships, our relationship flourished. Though we were not out to our families, we enjoyed little things together, as I am sure you and Chris do.
Please advise me what should I do: is it easy to move on, is it easy to trust someone else, should I marry a girl–what should I do? Please help your younger brother.
Here was my response (again, with edits as appropriate):
Dear N.,
It's difficult for me to write this because I have tears in my eyes after reading your email, and I can scarcely see my computer. I am heartbroken that this happened to you, that you are going through this, that it's all still so new and so difficult. You are courageous to write me now, when you are in such pain. I can't tell you how honored I am that you shared your story with me and trusted me with it. I pray I write something that, in some small way, will bring you comfort.
Of course, I'm so happy to know you've followed my blog for a while, and that you've opened yourself up to what I write. Thank you for accepting me, and my work, into your life. Whenever I write something, I don't know if it will mean anything to anyone other than me. That's why it makes a difference to hear from my readers, and to know you relate to what I say.
I've just read your email again, and my eyes are still filled with tears. I've written posts on my blog where I've speculated what it would be like for me to lose my beloved partner, Chris. So, yes, you are right–I do understand what you're going through. More than you know. Losing Chris would be the single most difficult thing to happen to me. I can't imagine it. That's why I've written that I hope I go before him. I hate the idea of leaving him alone, giving him no choice but to make do on his own. But, on a purely selfish level, I hate even more the idea of having to live my life without him. I don't know how I would do it, or even if I could.
Oh, my goodness. Your comment about enjoying the little things together with your partner struck a chord with me. Last evening was filled with little things, starting when Chris arrived home from work. Even including when he walked in the door, after not seeing each other since the night before. I'm always relieved when he arrives safely, when I know he hasn't been in an accident on the shuttle or the train out of the city. Then there was sitting down to dinner together, something we do every evening but that is so special when you think about it, because, one day, our evening meal together will truly be our very last. Such a simple thing, sharing dinner, but so meaningful.
Afterward, we went for a walk. The weather was warm and beautiful, and we were in each other's company–talking, laughing, joking, planning for the future. All the things it's so easy to take for granted, until we can no longer do them.
And, then, when I held him, felt the warmth of his body next to mine, and kissed him good night. It's something we've done for the past twenty-one years we've been a couple. But, again, some day, one of us won't be here to do it. And it's critical that we savor each and every moment we have together, because, as your story proves, we don't know when it will all come to an end.
It's difficult for me to offer you advice on what you should do, because, although I've lost people who were close to me, I've never lost someone I love as much as I love Chris. But, N., I've given some thought to what you've written, and I think I can help.
First, you must allow yourself the time and the space to grieve. You must allow yourself to feel what you do at any particular moment. This is where you come to terms, in the best way you are able, with the fact that your partner is gone. Give yourself as long as that takes. I know it won't be easy, particularly since you aren't out to your family, and you can't discuss with them the pain you're in and why. But I pray you have a friend you can share this with and can confide in. And, if you don't, you can always write to me. I will try to help you through it the best I can.
You ask, is it easy to move on? No, I'm sure it's not. It would take me a very, very long time to move on if I lost Chris. And here's the thing. I don't think you should ever want to move on, not entirely anyway, from what you shared with your partner. You will always carry a part of him in your heart, a part of what you shared, of what you were together, and you must always cherish that. You must always honor what you had by remembering him, not focusing on his death and the fact that he's gone, but on the wonderful human being and soul he was.
And on the wonderful time you spent together. A little secret, N. Some people, despite how old they become, never experience what you did. Some people, for one reason or another, never find real and true love. What a shame that is. So you must celebrate that love. You must let it burn within you. You must allow it to comfort you when you are suffering, as you are now. You loved another human being, and that's no small thing. That's why we are all here. It's what we must do. And no one can take it away from you.
You ask, is it easy to trust someone else? I don't think that's what you really mean, because, as far as I can tell, there was no betrayal of trust between you and your partner. You loved each other completely, and there should be no reason why you couldn't trust someone else.
What I think you mean to ask is, is it easy to love someone else? And, here, I must share with you what I learned from someone I once knew. She had been married to a man, and they loved each other very much. Then, he passed away after a long illness, and she was alone for some time. Finally, she met another man, and she fell in love with him.
I asked her, can you love again? And, what is love like the second time around? And she said, yes, of course you can love again. If you allow yourself to. And then she said, love the second time around is still love. It's different, because the person you love is different from the one you loved before. But it's no less. And it can be just as wonderful.
I can only go by what she said, because, thankfully, I haven't experienced this myself. But I take heart from her words that I would be able to feel love again, if I lost Chris, and fell in love with someone else. And I hope you do too.
You ask, should I marry a girl? I find your question a curious one. Why would you consider marrying a girl, if you are not heterosexual? Because being gay in India is so difficult? Because you don't believe you'll ever find another young man to love? Listen, if you're gay, then you must be true to yourself, to the extent that you are able. If you found love with a young man once, you must believe you will find love with another young man again.
Until then, I can't let this opportunity go by without saying that, when you don't have the love of someone else in your life, you must be able to count on the love you have from yourself. This is a difficult thing for some people, especially gay men. Many fall easily in love with someone else, and grasp on to it for all its worth, because, otherwise, they think no one will love them. Because they feel empty and incomplete if they don't feel love from someone else.
But the most important love you'll ever have in your life is that which you have for yourself. And if you need help with that, you'll find many posts on my blog about that very subject. It is so important to me to show gay and lesbian people how important the love they have for themselves is, how not having it is detrimental to them in so many ways. I sincerely hope you love yourself, first and foremost, especially during this very difficult time.
I am so happy that you consider me like a younger brother. Reading that brought a smile to my face. I pray you've found comfort in my words, I've given you hope you'll get through this tragic time, and you'll come out the other end of this feeling stronger and ready to experience the fullness and beauty of love again.
I send you my very best wishes and pray your life will be filled with the richness of love.
Your brother,

watching all this therapy and relationship recovery has made me super annoyed because there aren't enough recovery programs in this world and we need to make a change. there are serious issues out there that are not being addressed and once again it's morgan to the rescue, shedding light on controversial matters. i guess it's my cross to bear. if this were a utopian society none of these issues would be at hand. but it's not. it's 2012 and we're all mediocre. so that being said, i'm offering some services to help people recover from their problems.
over tweezing: if you've let your eyebrows get so thin that it looks like there are tadpoles living above your eyes, it's time for an intervention.
a harsh reality check. you will be forced to quit any sort of tweezing or waxing regime cold turkey. i can assure you this will be extremely beneficial and bring you more happiness than you could ever dream possible.
weddings that look like pinterest threw up on them: if people ask you what your plans are for your upcoming wedding and your response is similar to: "EVERYTHING IS ORIGINAL/VINTAGE/HANDMADE/QUIRKY/ BECAUSE THAT'S HOW MY PERSONALITY IS! PLUS PEOPLE LOVE DRINKING FROM MASON JARS WHILE WEARING FAKE MUSTACHES!" it's time for an intervention.
deactivation of any and all pinterest accounts. we will then sit you in front of a screen where we will proceed to treat you with shock therapy. you will be exposed to hundreds upon hundreds of wedding pictures that look exactly the same. if you ever feel the urge to repin an image, you will be electrocuted (we can't afford a machine that does that so really it's just gonna be one of the interns sitting on the floor, pinching your leg. tomato tomahto).
ugg boots: if you have terrible style/still think it's 2001, you need an intervention.
burn those suckers or we will be forced to amputate your feet.
seeking validation through daily outfit posts or "ootd": we get it fashion gurlz, we get it. if your instagram profile looks any thing like this, you need an intervention.
go live in a third world country for a year. nobody's gonna care where you bought your skirt.
talking about your boyfriend/fiancee/husband/significant other and then posting pictures of them and all the romantic things they do: this is rude. just stop. you need an intervention.
i will send you this picture every single day with the caption "look at all of the sweet presents my non existent husband didn't buy me!"
this will send you on a guilt trip and force you to realize that maybe if you didn't run that ragnar with your gal pals and dropped 20 lbs, you'd still be fat and single like the rest of us, going on dates with netflix every weekend.
k i have to finish watching my marathon now. courtney's therapist just implemented a dress code! bye

Visiting the Islas Ballestas and the national park of Paracas. Digression about the endangerment of biodiversity.
|The dry sand stone dessert coast of Peru
We went a little bit back north to the port of Pisco and from there to the seaside resort Paracas. It was hardly more than 50 kilometers but it took half a day. The Peruvian buses are quite nice compared to Bolivia or Guatemala but still slow, often late and you always loose time waiting when you have to change buses.
El Candelabro, a giant geoglyph at the coast of Paracas . According to my information it is not representing a candleholder at all but a cactus. Unfortunately I could not find out how old it is. Can you help me? There is discordance about its function. Is it a religious symbol or a landmark for boats?
|Las Islas Ballestas
The main reason for visiting Paracas is its national park, a peninsula of maybe 20 square kilometers, some islands and the surrounding waters. Early next morning we left the harbor in a small boat with 20 other tourists and a guide to go to Islas Ballestas. These islands are eroded by water and wind (Paracas means sand storm, Ballestas means Arc, imagine the reason. Those surreal formations are covered by sea birds, if I understood correctly more species than in any other region of the world.
|Lots of birds and the sea lions don't bother the tourists at all
|Guano loading ramp – be glad that photos don't smell
Many of them are endangered. Have a guess when those birds' problems started!? Well, as early as possible, when the Spaniards arrived around 1540. They used the birds' eggs as construction material for fortresses and churches! Quite a while later man discovered that sea bird shit not only makes awful stains but is also an excellent fertilizer. I guess it was somebody from Marketing who recommended changing the name of the product from sea bird shit to Guano. They started to collect the stuff all year long not caring to much that the workers disturbed the nesting birds or even destroyed the eggs. They meanwhile realized this and changed procedure. Each island is visited only every five years, the workers stay a couple of months and then continue to the next islands. I also assume that the job is called "Guano Extraction Manager" which was proposed by the same guy from Marketing when he had to help out in Human Resources and thus tricked many young Peruvians who otherwise would never had accepted the job 😉 However the most serious threat for the birds is the fishing industry. What do you do if you don't catch big fish anymore? You use a small meshed net and continue to make the mashes smaller till there are no fish anymore at least old enough to reproduce. What do you do, if the fishes are too small to sell them? You produce fish meal which then is fed to salmons, chickens etc. Here they now mostly catch sardines and anchovies and the fishermen get only some 60 dollars per tonne of fish. Did I mention that the fish meal factories are not owned by Peruvians?
Stoppppp! This is a travel journal not the Greenpeace Newsletter. Well, it was a great trip and the odor was not too bad. Apart from rock formations and sea birds (including penguins) we saw lots of sea lions. We even saw a mother swimming with her baby but we soon had to realize that she was actually trying to defend her (obviously male) baby from an adult male sea lion (three times as heavy as the female). Male sea lions have chosen this method to reach something, some guys dream of: an average of 16 females per male. We could not see if the mother's desperate efforts to save her baby were successful.
On the way back the boat ran out of fuel: Don't travel Latin America if things like that would bother you to much.
The second part of the excursion was the Peninsula of Paracas , mostly scarce flat dessert. We visited some more spectacular rock formations and even saw dolphins in the distance (once again I recommend bringing good binoculars!). Lunch break was in a little fishing port. As all the buses bring their tourists there the restaurants are way to expensive and it was the worst food I had so far, too. But the scenery is nice.

|The very idyllic fishing village Lagunilla – the view is much better than the food we had

One of Burbank's oldest churches is getting a $4.5-million upgrade. Members of First Presbyterian Church celebrated the major overhaul of their main sanctuary at 521 E. Olive St. on Sunday.
"The structure of the church is very sound, so it is a matter of taking out things that are old and tired and now un-useful for us," said Ross Purdy, who has been a pastor at the church since 2001.
The project has been in the works since 2004, with fundraising kicking off earlier this summer, Purdy said. So far, church members have contributed more than $1.1 million toward a fundraising goal of $2.5 million.
The balance of the $4.5-million tab will be covered by the sale of a secondary church property and a loan, Purdy said.
"Our water pipes are 60 years old," Purdy said. "Our electrical is very outdated. We have a worship space that is becoming darker and darker — as lights go out, we can't replace them because of the [aging electrical infrastructure]."

As war stops 13m children going to school in Middle East, North Africa
What hope is there for the Middle East and North Africa, where violence continues unabated and 13 million children, the next generation, are out of school? Who will be the future leaders, doctors, nurses, engineers, writers, scientists, poets, teachers, artists...?
Surging conflict and political upheaval across the Middle East and North Africa are preventing more than 13 million children from going to school, according to a UNICEF report released at the beginning of September.
The report, "Education Under Fire" focuses on the impact of violence on schoolchildren and education systems in nine countries -- Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Yemen, Libya, Sudan and the State of Palestine -- that have been directly or indirectly impacted by violence.
As the violence gripping Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Libya continues to deepen, and with no end in sight to other, more enduring conflicts in Palestine and Sudan, there is every reason to fear that the huge number of children already out of school across the region will continue to grow.
With more than 13 million children already driven from classrooms because of conflict, it is no exaggeration to say that the educational prospects of a generation of children are in the balance.
The forces that are crushing individual lives and futures are also destroying the prospects for an entire region. Young minds distorted by hatred and fear will need extraordinary support to contribute fully to the development of societies built on social progress, tolerance and prosperity, the report says.
Across the region, children demand -- above all else -- to go back to school. They dream of a better future for themselves and their families, and of the day when they can help rebuild their shattered communities and nations. These are the future teachers, nurses, doctors, architects, musicians, scientists and technicians of countries like Syria, Iraq, the State of Palestine, Sudan, Libya and Yemen, and their future leaders too.
Like children anywhere, they want an opportunity to learn, and acquire the skills they need to fulfill their potential. This constitutes a clear challenge to the international community, host governments, policy makers, and all those who want to see the Middle East and North Africa emerge from its current turmoil.
Attacks on schools and education infrastructure -- sometimes deliberate -- are one key reason why many children do not attend classes, the report writes. In Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Libya alone, nearly 9,000 schools are out of use because they have been damaged, destroyed, are being used to shelter displaced civilians or have been taken over by parties to the conflict.
Other factors include the fear that drives thousands of teachers to abandon their posts, or keeps parents from sending their children to school because of what might happen to them along the way – or at school itself.
In Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, more than 700,000 Syrian refugee children are unable to attend school because the overburdened national education infrastructure cannot cope with the extra student load.
"The destructive impact of conflict is being felt by children right across the region," says Peter Salama, Regional Director for UNICEF in the Middle East and North Africa. "It's not just the physical damage being done to schools, but the despair felt by a generation of schoolchildren who see their hopes and futures shattered."
"It's no coincidence in that what we see in terms of our TV pictures, the tragic pictures of people crossing on boats to Greece and Italy, very much comes back to the Syrian conflict and (to) the Iraqi conflict to a lesser extent," Salama says.
Countries hosting refugees are struggling to get children into schools because their education systems were never created to absorb such numbers. "Everyone is basically straining at the seams in terms of dealing with this massive crisis, which is not surprising given that it is the biggest population movement since World War Two," he notes.
Children out of school can end up working illegally, often being breadwinners for their family. They are vulnerable to exploitation and can be more easily recruited into armed groups, Salama adds.
UNICEF's research shows children are increasingly becoming combatants from a younger age, he added, while students and teachers have been killed, kidnapped and arrested.
"We're on the verge of losing an entire generation of children in the Middle East and North Africa. We must step up, otherwise it will be irreversible and long-term damage we've collectively inflicted upon the children of this region."
The report highlights a range of initiatives -- including the use of self-learning and expanded learning spaces -- that help children learn even in the most desperate of circumstances. But it says the funding such work receives is not commensurate with the burgeoning needs, despite the fact that children and parents caught up in conflict overwhelmingly identify education as their number one priority.
In particular, the No Lost Generation Initiative, launched by UNICEF and other partners in 2013 to galvanize more international backing for the education and protection needs of children affected by the Syria crisis deserves more support, the report says.
In addition, the reports calls on the international community, host governments, policy makers, the private sector and other partners to:
- Reduce the number of children out of school through the expansion of informal education services especially for vulnerable children.
- Provide more support to national education systems in conflict-hit countries and host communities to expand learning spaces, recruit and train teachers and provide learning materials
- In countries affected by the Syria crisis, advocate for the recognition and certification of non-formal Education services.
- Prioritize Funding for Education in conflict-hit countries. Funding and investment in education during emergencies remains low. In 2013, less than 2% of emergency aid globally went to education and learning opportunities. UNICEF is seeking around $300 million to fund its emergency education work in the region in 2015.

What Does a Customer Really Want?
December 12, 2013
As I started my journey, I went to the only true source of relevant information – Google.
In 0.46 seconds I received 1.3 billion answers to the question "What do customers want?" This made me pause.
If this was a case study, and I was a customer of Google, did they just deliver what I wanted? They answered my question, surely, but were my specific needs met? Was I able to easily find the answer?
Overwhelmingly the research argues that customers desire fundamentally basic things, though the order might vary depending on the product or service the customer plans to consume.
At a most basic level, and in no specific order, customers want:
- Value for money
- Ease
- Good service
- A quality product
- Predictability/reliability
Though each of these answers is obvious and relatively straight forward, they only describe the needs of a specific interaction.
In the IT services business there is an underlying requirement for a trust based relationships, especially if there is a transformational or annuity characteristic to the transaction. A foundation of trust must already exist for there to be an opportunity to satisfy the "wants" of the customer.
The more transformational, or the longer the commitment associated with the decision, the stronger the trust based relationship needs to be. As magnitude or complexity of the decision increases, so does the need for relationships to extend to multiple layers of the organizations.
At Long View, we have set ourselves on a 100 year journey. We have chosen to focus on customer relationships to lead our market segment as argued by Treacy and Weirsema in "Discipline of the Market Makers". This necessitates that a strong trust based relationship, our integrity pillar, exist before we are able to apply customer specific wants like value for money or ease to each transaction.
So did Google meet my needs as a customer?
Yes. I wanted an answer to a question which I received quickly and easily. The experience and output was predictable and it didn't cost me a cent.

After eleven years living, dancing, teaching tango, and writing in Buenos Aires, I came home to L.A. in 2014, where I'm reconstructing my life.

Blogging, Memes, Change, Shoes
Natalia, over at her ShimmyBlog, has tagged me for a meme. She wrote that she knows memes these days are "kind of trite," but she's going for it anyway: 8 things people don't know about me.
I dunno, maybe I don't fit in well in this blogging world: there are all these memes and contests and chains and things, and the truth is, I don't think anyone is interested in the last thing I ate today or what music I'm listening to right now.
Many blogs I subscribe to try to make money, and so they are full of tips about optimizing search engines and Google and Link Love and joining stuff to make more people read my blog. But making money isn't what I do (guffaw! Did you see my AdSense way at the bottom?)
Sure I sometimes promote my work with Ruben Aybar as a tango teacher and tour guide, but I want more people to read my blog because I love to write. For me the communication process isn't complete until someone reads it. That's why we bloggers love comments because it's proof that someone out there is reading and has an opinion about what we write.
I'm reading those technical posts too because I wish to heck I could figure out how to do some things with this Blogger classic template. Last week I "upgraded" and worked for a whole day trying to add a blogroll and Favorite Posts and "useful terms to know" on a sidebar, but it just wouldn't work, so I gave up and went back to this format.
I like this template--it's simple and elegant--but it's one column and I do want some other features. And I'd like to use a photo as the header. And anyway, maybe it's time for a new look. Can someone help me? (I have a mac). Hey, I'm talking to you out there who use Blogger, have a mac, and have real cool designs. Please?
But in the meantime, back to memes: I did one--it was the Me, Not Me photo meme, and I had fun with it.
OK, here it goes, I'll make it short. This is for you, Natalia.
8 Things People Don't Know About Me (and probably don't care to find out)
1. Hmmm, I'm thinking. My life has been an open book so everyone knows everything already. OK, here's one: I got hooked on French when I was 3 years old and took my first ballet class; I still remember how I loved the sounds of glissade, assemblé, pas de bourrée, jeté. It was like music or poetry, and changed my destiny.
2. I hope that in Heaven I can eat as much rucula, goat cheese, and raspberries as I want and wash it all down with Cosmos and Mojitos.
3. I cry more when I'm happy or when I see or hear something beautiful than when I'm sad.
4. I had a great relationship with my mother.
5. I was an only child.
6. If I could change one physical thing about me, it would be that I would have a lovely singing voice. I adore to sing, and I can't. I sing in church, but pray that nobody hears me.
7. I play the piano and have a big CD collection, but most of the time I like silence.
8. (only one more...) Even though I have countless tango shoes (the truth is that I'm afraid to count them), mostly Comme Il Faut, and I also still use the Flabella's that I bought years ago, I'm not a "shoe person." (You "shoe people" out there will know what I mean.)

I also don't travel in those kind of blogging circles either. I've kept my blog for almost a year, and this was the first meme I had been tagged for. I felt kind-of honored in a laughable way. :)
- Cherie said...
Oops, I forgot to tag anybody.
Maybe someone will just do it anyway.

I know, I don't belong to these blogging communities either -- this was the first one I got tagged for (and it was by a new reader to my blog!) It was kind of fun though -- I'm glad you guys participated! I found it really hard -- especially since it's so open-ended. I'm an only child too, Cherie -- there are so few of us! Did ballet lead you to tango? Is that why it changed your life? I love that picture, by the way!
- Cherie said...
Hi Tonya,
So glad you stopped by! I've always wanted to meet Swan Lake Samba Girl! (What a fabulous name, and such an interesting blog.)
My first ballet classes at the age of 3 not only led me to tango a gadzillion years later, after dancing ballet, belly, jazz, flamenco, salsa, you-name-it-I-danced-it, but at that moment I fell in love with the French language and all things Franch. Which led me to France--and that's another whole story, or blog!

Hey, i went back to my old blog tangospeak.blogspot.com and changed my template to the one you're using so I can see what you're dealing with.
How come the links to your older posts takes up the width of the page instead of being in the left columns so people can read the actual post in the main body?
One thing you can try is to export all of your posts, reset your template, import your posts and then gradually start adding other things to the left column only or footer only. Would that work?
- Cherie said...
Excuse me, are you talking to me?
Listen, I so appreciate you and Miss Tango being willing to help me get a new "look" to the old blog!
Maybe it's Blogger or my computer, but my template is only one column. I can't put stuff to the left or right in a sidebar. That's why I just put all the junk at the bottom.
The other thing is that I've spent hours trying to upgrade to the "new" blogger, a similar template but with 2 columns, but the darned widgets are definitely not drag 'n 'n drop'n on my machine.
PLUS I want to put a wide picture as my header (like on yours), but I can't configure it right.
Miss Tango offered to come over and give first aid; maybe I need it.
Either that or a vacation in Rio!
- caroline said...
Hah ha, vacation in Rio...I've felt that way many times!
Well, I'm a graphic designer and was a website designer for a long time. And I have a Mac. Helping with blogs is something I'm good at.
I'll be in Argentina for the month of October. Don't be afraid to ask for help while I'm there. I can help you figure it all out.

I am reading your posts.

Oh Seven, you are sweet!
Your comment made my eyes mist over!
Thank you for reading.

Another major US defence procurement decision has provoked protests from the losing bidders. Lockheed Martin and Sikorsky have filed protests with the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) over the US Air Force's selection of the Boeing HH-47 for the 141-aircraft, $15 billion CSAR-X combat search-and-rescue programme.
Boeing had braced itself for protests after its heavylift Chinook was selected over Lockheed's US101 and Sikorsky's MH-92 to replace the USAF's much smaller Sikorsky HH-60Gs. Work under its $712 million development contract will be halted until the GAO rules on the protests at the end of February. Other recent GAO protests have been unsuccessful, with the GAO upholding the US Army's selection of Eurocopter's EC145 as its Light Utility Helicopter and the elimination of Lockheed's C-130J from the Joint Cargo Aircraft competition.
Lockheed maintains that its US101, based on the AgustaWestland EH101, was "the most capable and most affordable solution", with a significantly lower life-cycle cost than the larger HH-47. The company believes the criteria used to evaluate the competing proposals "were not applied uniformly" and competitors "received different instructions during the competition".
Sikorsky - which did not protest against the 2005 selection of the US101 over its VH-92 for the 23-aircraft VXX US Presidential helicopter programme - says it filed a CSAR-X protest "to ensure the selection process accurately evaluated the characteristics and performance" of its aircraft, which was based on the MH-92 under development for the Canadian Forces.
Announcing the CSAR-X winner earlier this month, the USAF said the HH-47 was selected because Boeing could deliver aircraft "several months earlier", with greater combat radius and larger cabin, and with terrain-following/terrain-avoidance radar - a capability originally planned for the later, Block 10, version of the CSAR-X.

It's no secret that almost everyone who tries Wen is hooked. I test quite a few different products, but I always find myself going back to Wen. While I'm eagerly anticipating the new Holiday Scented Wen, I'm totally gaga for SixThirteen.
SixThirteen is like normal Wen, but on cleansing conditioner steroids. Imagine if you mixed Re-Moist with Wen, made is slightly thicker and put it in a giant bottle and you'd get SixThirteen. It's a blend of more than 25 natural oils and extracts and 11 amino acids. It's like a luxurious concoction of hair awesomeness. In fact, it's so hydrating that it actually is too much for my dry, processed hair.
Here is what I found works best for me:
I used SixThirteen every other day for about a week and a half.
Then I used it once a week, in rotation with my regular Wen.
Now I'm adding a few pumps to my regular Wen routine a few times per week and my hair has never looked better. And not to toot my own hair horn, but at a company party recently, I got more compliments on my hair (and Chanel eye shadow) then I've ever received in my life. Some people I hadn't seen in years either didn't recognize me (when we were colleagues, I worked with them for more than 10 years!) and several others asked me if my hair was my own. And more than a few asked if they could touch my hair. People that haven't seen me in a few months were blown away that my hair was this nice.
Either my hair was wonky before or it must look dramatically different to those who don't see me on a daily basis. No matter what, it's working! While SixThirteen is on the pricey side, it's worth it if you need some extra hydration in your Wen game. Check it out at ChazDean.com.

Jenkins and I met up with his family one morning for some dim sum at Shun Feng Seafood Restaurant, located in Parker Place mall in Richmond. This location has changed names a few times but I had never been here in its latest incarnation. Jenkins' mom had seen a dim sum promotion in the newspaper for Shun Feng so she suggested that we check it out.
I'm not sure how long this deal is in effect for but if you submit your order prior to 11AM, you get the "Dim Sum Special for 4", which is basically 4 dim sum items plus a pot of congee for $20. You don't get to pick the congee but this is still a pretty good deal. The congee that was available that day was a pork congee with pickled snow vegetables. It was actually quite flavourful with the richness of the fatty pork cut slightly by the tang from the pickled vegetables.
We also ordered some jah lurng, which was also pretty good. The Chinese doughnut in the middle was slightly denser than what I was used to but the rice noodle wrapper had a nice buoyancy to it and was not over-steamed.
Jenkins wanted to have some steamed chicken buns. It's one of his favourite dim sum filler items. Nothing out of the ordinary that I can really note here but it did have a nice amount of chicken filling. There was also quite a bit of ginger in the version here, which I liked.
The har gow (shrimp dumplings) were ok tastewise but I found the shrimp filling to be slightly watery. For shrimp dumplings, I don't think this really worked from a texture perspective but there was a nice amount of shrimp flavour in general.
I don't recall the English translation for these dumplings but they were shrimp dumplings with corn, peas, and diced carrots wrapped in a soy wrapper. I liked the unique combination of the shrimp with veggies in this dumpling but Jenkins noted that he preferred the more traditional har gow more.
You can't really tell in the photo below but we actually thought the sui mai (pork dumplings) were a bit on the small side. The pork to shrimp ratio was also a bit off with there being way more pork. Personally, I like a more equal ratio so I thought these sui mai were only so-so.
The phoenix claw (chicken feet) were pretty well made. They weren't over-steamed so each foot actually retained its shape and had a lot of the sweet soy flavour infused.
We were starting to get pretty full at this point but we still had a couple of more dishes to go. We were expecting the salty fish with chicken rice to be made in a clay pot but for some reason, it came in a mini casserole dish. The salty fish and chicken was seasoned nicely had the chicken had all the great salty fish flavour infused in it but I found the rice to be too dry.
The scallop and pea shoot rice rolls were a bit flavourless and I had to supplement it with a generous amount of the soy dipping sauce. The pea shoots must also have been cooked separately because it seemed to be over-steamed in relation to the other ingredients in this dish.
We were about to call for the bill but a cart came by with fresh tofu pudding. My mom actually makes a delicious tofu pudding so I don't usually order it when I'm out but I had a hankering for it that day. The version here is quite silky and served warm with some ginger syrup. I liked how they provided a separate bowl of ginger syrup for us so we could add as much (or as little) as we liked.
Overall, the dim sum here was pretty good. It did take quite a long time for some of the dishes to come but I suppose that is ok if you're trying to pace yourself. For us though, we were tempted to cancel a few of our dishes because it took so long to come. Without the benefit of the dim sum special that we took advantage of though, the prices do tend to be on the higher end of the dim sum spectrum and I'm not sure if the quality of the food is consistent with their regular prices.

Product 71/75
"Yet in the hands of Veronica Falls the familiar approach sounds both
innocent and strategic; there's eagerness in the way the whole band
attacks every note, while the tiniest acceleration in tempo feels like a
headlong rush, especially as the voices converge. In songs about
getting swept up by infatuation the music sounds like a suddenly shared,
irresistible impulse." - New York Times
"Veronica Falls matches every dark emotion with a patch of sunlight;
sinister guitar riffs, ghostly reverb, and morose lyrics are offset by
feel-good hooks, sweet harmonies, and surf-pop pep." - The New Yorker
"While both Veronica Falls albums make pleasant listening, and the
details are well-crafted, what came across Wednesday was robust and
bristling, underpinned with an urgency that is hard to find on the
albums. For a band that is obviously record-collection obsessed, that
was a major achievement." - Washington Post
"There's a clarity of texture-- a specificity even-- to every element
of the band's sound. Which makes it something of an anomaly: shoegaze
that looks you square in the eye." Pitchfork

Imagine that you're going to take a trip this weekend (especially relevant for the US folks). You can either; a) Get onto your local freeway and hope to get where you want by following the signs, based on what you know. b) Navigate only using a map (maybe you've got a fancy in-car GPS), with your headlights off. c) Plan your trip on a map, but navigate by signs and landmarks you see while you're on the road. (a) is how the Web works for people, but it isn't really practical for machines (yet). (b) is how most WS-* tools work. (c) is what I'd like to encourage (without explicitly disallowing (b), although I'm not sure I want to be on the same road as them!). People will always write broken tools, but what I'm really concerned about is that people will write Web applications that *require* a description file to navigate/use; i.e., there will be (meta-)data in there that won't be in representations. For example, people might start wondering why they need all of those pesky <link> elements and other metadata in Atom documents when they've got a description file that contains all. What might help is concrete guidance about what shouldn't be in a WADL file, and what shouldn't be only in a WADL file. Does that seem reasonable? Also, I've heard lots of people talk about consuming WADL on the client side, but no concrete proposals for what the use would entail. Are people assuming that they'll look at a WADL, generate some code, and then blindly make requests for URLs according to it? Or would the WADL be re-checked at runtime? Or...?

Fresh Gear is a television program on ZDTV then known as TechTV (now known as G4) that showcased the latest in personal technology. It was hosted by Stephanie Siemiller and Chris Leary. The original hosts were Jim Louderback and Sumi Das.
Fresh Gear started to air on ZDTV after its launch in May 1998. The show aired every Wednesday at 9:30 pm. It was cancelled after the May 2004 merger of G4 and TechTV into G4techTV. G4techTV continued to make episodes until the closure of the San Francisco studios. Fresh Gear was then aired in reruns until early December 2004.
Though Fresh Gear is gone, G4techTV Canada has recreated the show as Gadgets & Gizmos.
Product review segments were often co-hosted by the 'Lab Rats': Roger Chang, Hahn Choi, Andrew Hawn, Robert Heron, James Kim, Brett Larson and Martin Sargent. Another show that airs on another Comcast-owned channel (G4 Media's parent company) known as Geared Up has a very similar format to Fresh Gear.

Buying gifts for gamers might seem simple: video games! But like many things in life, it's not as easy as it seems. Video games are no longer just for children. In fact, many 'hardcore' gamers see video games as a way of life, not just a hobby.
Given that, it can be very difficult to buy games for gamers. Unless you know exactly what they want, you're probably going to wind up getting them games outside their genres, or games they already own. Most hardcore gamers preorder their favorite games months in advance, so it's very hard to predict what they want but don't yet have.
Fortunately, there are some simple and straightforward ways to get great gifts for gamers without resorting to socks and ties! Check out these suggestions for some excellent gamer gifts.
Here are some non-game items that any gamer is sure to love.
1. Anything related to Portal
Portal is one of those few games everyone loves. It's widely regarded as the funniest, most entertaining game of all times, and almost everyone who considers themselves a gamer has played it, usually more than once. That means it's pretty useless to buy them a copy of the game -- but as with any major success in any field, there are tons of merchandising tie ins that will make excellent gifts for gamers.
You may not recognize any of those items -- they might even seem strange or bizarre. But any gamer will know them on sight.
2. Gadgets
Many gamers enjoy other forms of technology, too, making cool and unusual gadgets a perfect gift. You can find anything from useless but interesting decorative holograms to systems designed to transform your iPad into an old-school video game console complete with joystick. Fun and interesting gadgets are great gifts for anyone into electronic media like video games.
3. Gamer clothing
Gamers have dozens of inside jokes. That means that when you buy gifts for gamers, you're probably not going to have any idea of what you're buying unless you're a gamer yourself. And that's perfectly okay!
Gamer clothing comes in many styles, from generic gaming references like Mario's 1-Up mushroom to inside jokes very specific to certain games. Unless you know what games your gamer likes, it's safer to stay with the generic stuff everyone will recognize.
Gamers have an ironic sense of humor, so anything with a bit of a sardonic edge will usually appeal to them as well. For an example check out this 'I'm a Spy' shirt.
As you can see, buying Christmas gifts for gamers isn't quite as scary as you might think. Don't worry about buying games -- let them handle that. Your gifts for gamers should be original, fun, and exciting!

Series: These Vicious Masks #1
Author: Tarun Shanker & Kelly Zekas
Publisher: Swoon Reads
Published Date: February 9th 2016
Genre: Historical Fiction, Mystery, YA, Fantasy
Page Count:298
Format: Paperback
My Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Goodreads Summary:
England, 1882. Evelyn is bored with society and its expectations. So when her beloved sister, Rose, mysteriously vanishes, she ignores her parents and travels to London to find her, accompanied by the dashing Mr. Kent. But they're not the only ones looking for Rose. The reclusive, young gentleman Sebastian Braddock is also searching for her, claiming that both sisters have special healing powers. Evelyn is convinced that Sebastian must be mad, until she discovers that his strange tales of extraordinary people are true—and that her sister is in graver danger than she feared.
My Review:
"We do not remain the same each minute to the next. Every word you hear, every sight you see, every smell, every thought you have, every moment-it all changes you. We keep putting on mask after mask, layers over layers. That's how one grows."
Evelyn and her sister Rose, are nurses in time period where lady's of high class should be doing no such thing, especially in England's high society. With a mother who is trying to marry them both off, they feel somewhat trapped. With Evelyn making it almost impossible for her to find a suitor, and Rose's nursing career that she wants to do keeping her from wanting to settle down they appear to not really care what society thinks of them. That is until disaster happens and all Evelyn really has to use is her standing in society in order to find out who took rose, why they took her and how in the world she is supposed to find her and get her back. With the help of a Mr. Kent and Mr. Braddock she is able to not only learn a lot about herself, but also the society at that point in time.
"That's just it. Perspective is a curious thing. One day, you see everything from one angle and you think you know what's important," he continued, looking out at the dancers. Then he turned to me, smiling wryly. "Then another day, from another angle, you see what's really important, and everything else just . . . melts away."
This book was such an enjoyable read and I loved it so much. While it isn't a new concept with people having special abilities added into the Victorian era, it is one that I am completely on board with. Add in a heroin that will do anything in order to save her sister, and who doesn't try to let men stop her or fall head over heels in love with and I am all yours. I mean really that doesn't happen that often in any novel let alone a young adult one. Sure there were love interests and you could tell she did care for them, you can also tell that she wasn't going to let it get in her way, or confuse her from what was really important.
"You are right about one thing, Mr. Kent. I don't need a hero," I said in a firm, even voice. "But I could never love a man who would not be my ally."
The sarcasm that Evelyn uses as well to mask her true feelings of thing's is just spot on in my opinion as well. As for all of the special abilities, I found all of them to be really interesting, especially considering the time period and how strange things that they were able to do were seen as insanity in some cases and probably witchcraft for some of the more deadly abilities. (I wonder how this would work in a different society out of England? Or maybe even in England just with the lower class?)
Honestly I'm afraid to say to much more because I don't want to give any of the abilities away because that is a big part of the story and figuring out how everyone is going to fit together in order to make it possible to find/save Rose.
"Well, when one door closes, another slightly more inconvenient, out-of-the-way one opens. Let's be off, shall we?"

Pearce Point Harbour
Mary Anne mentioned in our last posting that we spent a minimal amount of time in Cambridge Bay. I was aware at the time that a westerly gale was brewing and would arrive on the scene in three and a half days. If we left immediately, we would have just enough time to get to this spot: Pearce Point Harbour. Any delay would mean having to stop 170 miles earlier at Bernard Harbour, the nearest previous sheltered anchorage along the coast.
An earlier stop would not only have delayed us one day, but as the weather systems move from west to east, any weather improvement would not arrive there until an additional day later - thus costing one more day!
In the south, the word "Harbour" generally connotes a town or village; here it just means that enclosing bits of land will reduce the waves and wind just enough to anchor your boat in safety until whatever weather you are escaping has passed. There IS an old abandoned shack on the shore along with an old abandoned road leading to the disused gravel airstrip. There seems much evidence in this part of the world of people, no longer here, having passed through.
Eighty meters [270 feet] of heavy 10mm chain stretch from the bow to our anchor buried in the sand and mud under 7 meters of water. Sand and mud are our favorite sea bottom for anchoring. Much more than gravel and certainly more than rock, they allow the anchor to bury deep and hold with remarkable tenacity.
It is snowing off and on outside and the wind, steady at 35 knots and gusting to 40 knots [47mph - 78kph] is making loud moaning sounds in the rigging interrupted by the occasional staccato banging of the slightly-too-loose halyard ropes.
It is difficult to convey an essential psychological difference between a stop on this coast and a weather anchorage further south. The weather that forces us to stop typically disallows visits ashore. Dinghy work is unpleasant - even dangerous - in large waves and we want to be aboard in case the anchor drags. Thus the enforced idleness of the weather delay is combined with an intense awareness of the dwindling supply of "summer" days set against the immense number of miles yet to be traveled.
But all things come to an end - as will this gale. We hope to be moving again by late Monday, September 2nd to deal with any remaining ice around Cape Bathurst and sail onward toward Tuktoyaktuk. Our stop there will be, needless to say, brief: a few hours if we arrive early in the day; overnight if we arrive late.
Smooth seas !

After 30 years in power as the Chief Minister of Sarawak, it is TIME FOR TAIB TO GO as his family and cronies have benefited enormously since the day he became Chief Minister.
Today,Tranparency International have call the Useless MACC to start investigation of corruption by Taib and his family as Malaysia rating for fight against corruption is very BAD. This affect Malaysia image to attract foreign investors who do not invest in countries with bad transparency rating as issued by Transparecy International.
This coming election should be the BEGINNING OF THE END OF TAIB and it is time the people of Sarawak to GET BACK their state.
Therefore,I would urge the people of Sarawak to come out in full force on election day to VOTE AGAINST TAIB and to GET BACK THEIR STATE where billions HAVE BEEN STOLEN by PBB and BN.

Valentine's Day is an Ideal Time to Catch Your Cheating Mate
Valentine's Day is one of the best times of the year to catch a cheating mate. There are several reasons why:
● A cheating man has to buy his mistress a Valentine's Day gift if he wants to remain in her good graces (and in her bed).
● If the cheaters live or work in close enough proximity to each other, his mistress or sidepiece will expect him to deliver her Valentine's Day gift in person. If it's the woman who's cheating, she has to make herself available to personally receive her secret lover's Valentine's Day gift.
● Most cheaters will get together with their secret lover at some point between February 13 – 15 to give or receive that traditional Valentine's Day gift.
● The giving of this Valentine's Day gift usually includes a romantic Valentine's lunch or dinner, and sometimes a lover's tryst at the mistress's home, a love nest or a nearby hotel.
● Regardless of how the Valentine's Day gift was paid for (cash, check, debit or credit card) or how it was bought (online, from a catalog, or from a physical store) it will leave a paper trail.
All of this creates multiple opportunities for a cheater to get caught, and it's a 3-day window of opportunity you should not ignore if you think you have a cheating mate. This is especially true if you have no evidence of the affair yet, or have been frustrated in your attempts to get tangible proof. Of course, knowing what to look for is the key.
The purpose of the Valentine's Day Infidelity Awareness Campaign is to provide you with tips, suggestions and other practical advice on how to catch a cheating Valentine. The next article in the series will discuss hiring a private eye for Valentine's Day or Mistress Day to help you get the goods on your cheating mate. But if you can't afford one, don't despair.
Over the next few days, this blog will feature a series of Valentine's Day Infidelity articles on how Valentine's Day flowers and gifts can expose a cheating mate, and give you the inside scoop on Mistress Day (February 13).
As it gets closer to Valentine's Day, my Real Life Infidelity blog will carry brief accounts from my files of real men and women who used these tips and techniques to catch their cheating mates on or around the most romantic day of the year. The final article in the series will list some specific signs of infidelity you can typically find shortly after Valentine's Day.
I encourage you to use this information to your advantage if you think your spouse or significant other is cheating on you. These Valentine's Day Infidelity articles can not only help you confirm your suspicions of infidelity, they can also help reassure you if you have a faithful mate.
Bookmark this page and check back often over the next few days to make sure you don't miss any of the articles in the Valentine's Day Infidelity Awareness Campaign. Please feel free to tweet the link to this article or share it with your Facebook friends.

I run my dogs in some local field trials as a way to give them exposure to another hunting situation. This past weekend they had a big National Upland Classic Series field trial that drew contestant from 8 different states and over 70 dogs entered. I entered my 7 year old GSP just to see how he would do against the "big guns". I knew the local crowd was predominantly gray beards, but we do get a few youngsters occasionally on "Buddy Hunts". On the Upland Classic there was no handler under the age of 30. Talking with one of the oldtimers in the field trial world, he said the Joplin club used to have 80 members, but currently stands at 26.
It looks like we can add field trialing to the outdoor sports that are slowly dying out along with the older generation. I suppose short of kidnapping some teenagers, the only answer is as stated in the earlier posts, we have to sell these sports and our outdoor lifestyle to a generation that lives online and if it doesn't happen on the web, they're not interested. I'm not sure we can win that one.
As a by the way, my 7 year old Bode placed 11th in the trial, but his 5 minute 34 second run for three quail in the bag would have taken second if his handler (me) hadn't had to take two shots at one bird. I'll need to work on that.
An elderly gentleman, his faithful dogs, and a 16 ga SXS. All is right with the world.

Location: canandaigua - western n.y. (formerly deerhunter)
We've been getting some actual positive PRESS lately ,and this AM , FOX is running snippets on the local TV . They are at our Newark GC , and doing segments on the youth clays team . Last fall they approached us about sponsoring , and right now , they are in the middle of the league . We ended up with the min 5 kids , so if they stick with it , we're G-T-G !! The regs always make it difficult , and of course there is a 65buck entry (plus shooting costs), so we didn't have more kids . We are doing what we can to minimize their costs ... When they approached us last fall , it was to get to the 5 team requirement for the league . The number I heard , there are now 19 , and they are lurking in the woods for many more ! It was kind of funny to watch the reporters . The girl doing the program shot a few birds and actually hit the 4th one . At the studio , a couple non shooters were clenching each other , scared !! The teaching needs to continue to all levels of participants , and programs like this help soo much ..... thanx to FOX Rochester , and Jeremy Newman on 92.5 WBEE for the support that's been so long over due !

Location: Endless Mountains of Pa
Here in our Potter County, Pa Mountains we still have a lot of youngsters participating in our hunting/shooting sports. In fact pretty much thru out Pa our shooting sports are still pretty big. Unfortunately around the big cities with the anti hunting public school indoctrination, the inner city kids are hardly participating any more. in fact if you want to get elected to anything in Pa, it is wise not to cross the NRA, even the liberal Democrats do not speak against gun sports here, unless they want to get voted out of office.
The sportsman clubs and the NRA are big here in Pa and Upland Bird Hunting is still a big time sport for youngsters, here in Pa. Unfortunately unemployment is much greater here than actually being reported by the liberal news media, this hurts our shooting sports, especially traveling to hunt. Pa has the highest gas taxes in the country, thank to our Pa liberal/progressive Governor.
Here in our Potter/Tioga mountains Grouse and Woodcock hunting is a big time sport, along with Deer, Bear and Turkey hunting. Pheasant hunting is pretty much put and take, however the Pheasant youth program is really going strong, with lots of kids participating and many Pheasants taken.
It really all depends on where you live as to the shooting sport participation. However with the passing of the WWII and Viet Nam Baby Boomer generations, the numbers of our sport hunting population is decreasing, simply because of the actual over all population decrease. Modern ladies are not having the number of children that the WWII and Viet Nam ladies had, a very unfortunate situation for not just our shooting sports, but for every aspect of our American culture.

Get A Life Man – dot ComMonday, September 1st, 2008
I recently stumbled across a pretty neat site:
There is enough room online for the most obsessive fanatics to spread their ramblings about what they think and do. Some people take a tiny idea, or a hobby, or even an online game way too seriously, and way too far. You've probably run into a few of these types before. I know I have.
So someone made a web page that swiftly and clearly lets these people know there are better things they could be doing with their time.
I especially like the picture they used. It's perfect!
Now, instead of being blown off when we type, "Get a life, man," we can make an impact with getalifeman.com. Heck, we might even change some lives…
