Allo, Rint! Naw, I'm stuck here in the wilds off the Coquihalla Highway this year. Family matters precluded heading for Vermont in '06 but Wisconsin in '07 is lookin' good 'specially after viewing Jeff Dean's pictures of the site ` `Originally Posted by rinty
As for the /5, it's pretty basic, you know, and always gets me where I'm going. A motor, two sets of drum brakes, wiring of some description here and there, a LOUD horn and a gas tank - that's pretty well it. It doesn't stop very good but then, I don't travel very fast. It's getting on in years but so am I. So I just ride s-l-o-w-l-y and let the 'K's, the 'R's', the 'RT's' and the odd '1200CLC' zoom on by in pursuit of whatever it is they may be pursuing. I can never figure out why the other guys are in such a hurry. The rally's not gonna start without 'em!
See you in West Bend next July, bud! ` `

In January of this year state Rep. Joe Farias filed HB 779 in hopes of establishing a penny-per-ounce tax on sugary soda drinks to fund student health initiatives.
And after being referred to the House Ways & Means Committee in February, the bill was never heard from again.
Shocking, I know.
Now most people might assume that a soda tax will be a hard sell because conservative Texas dislikes new taxes, and those on food products especially so. Even if there's reasonable scientific evidence linking soda consumption and weight gain.
But there's another reason. Texans love their Big Gulps. A few days ago the Smithsonian did a wonderful blog post on the development of very large sodas originated in Texas, at the Dallas-based 7-Eleven company:
In 1981, one of Potts's employees proposed a new design— a 46-ounce cup tentatively called "The Super Big Gulp." Potts gave it a shot and sent it to a division in Texas where the summers are hot and the customers are thirsty. History repeated itself when Potts got a call from a store manager in Texas: "We're out of the damn cups," he said. Soft drink sales doubled again— fountain soda profit was now four times higher than before the Big Gulp hit the scene.
Before 1983, all 7-Eleven fountain drinks were available only by counter service. When the Big Gulp and Super Big Gulp gained popularity, the amount of labor and time it took to fill up a cup that size increased (it took roughly 20-30 seconds to fill the cup, not including volume of ice and time for capping and handoff to the customer). "We had always sold coffee on a self service basis — early on we discovered customers like to put sugar and cream in to make it exactly the way they like it," Potts says. "We thought 'Why can't we do it with fountain drinks?'"
In a few test stores, they turned around the dispensing station and let the customers help themselves. "It was sort of a rude crude, Jerry-rigged operation," he says, "But sales rocketed and we didn't have those labor costs." 7-Eleven was the first retailer in America to install the self serve beverage station.
Here's a great commercial from 1987 in which 7-Eleven advertises its self-serve, the way-you-want-it style.
Well, Texans know the way they want it, and they want a lot of it with as little tax as possible. Health-wise it's certainly not the wisest course, but hey, you only live once.

|Spicy Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry
Spicy Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry
This stir fry has a nice bite to it thanks to the seasonings - which I think is key when you are lowering your fats - but substitute your favorite seasonings here if you don't have access to those.
Recipe: Spicy Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 20 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
For the Sauce:
For the Stir Fry:
- 1/2 cup chicken broth or stock
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 4 cups assorted mixed vegetables (onion, broccoli, carrots, celery, cabbage, baby corn) cut roughly into about the same size
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon red curry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
Mix up the stir fry sauce by whisking together the chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, hot sauce, ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside.
Chop all the vegetables into fairly equal size and set aside in piles, in the order that you want to stir fry them, with dense veggies such as onion, broccoli and raw carrots first and cabbage and leafy greens last.
Heat peanut oil in a wok over medium high heat. Add chicken strips and stir fry until mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes; remove and set aside. Add more oil if needed.
Add the vegetables, adding in first the ones that take the longer times to cook. Stir fry until the veggies are cooked but still have a stiff bite to them. You do not want them to get too soft and soggy. Add the garlic and stir together. Add the chicken back to the veggies and stir together. Season with the salt, pepper, curry powder, sesame ginger blend and red pepper flakes. Mix well to meld all of the flavors together.
Make a well in the center of the chicken and veggies and pour the sauce into the well, allowing it to come to a full boil and thicken before touching it. Once the sauce has thickened, remove the pan from the heat, add a dab of the wasabi paste and stir everything together, coating the chicken and vegetables well with the sauce. Spoon the mixture over hot cooked rice.
Cook's Notes: I used broccoli, yellow onion, carrot, sliced green pepper, cabbage strips and sliced green onion.

Vintage For The Uninitiated ;-)
- Details
- Published: Thursday, 21 May 2015 18:16
Once upon a time, only a fringe element trolled thrift stores, looking for old clothes from the 1940's and 50's. I first became aware of it in the 1980's, after seeing "Pretty in Pink". I remember thinking how much I loved Molly Ringwald's wardrobe and that of her friends (although she did a major disservice to that fabulous prom dress Annie Potts gave her). The bohemian types were the ones who were looking to the 50's for their style back then. Over the last 15 years or so, vintage has gone more and more mainstream. Even top fashion designers look backward for inspiration.
All the time someone comes into the store having only recently discovered vintage, and are interested in incorporating it into their wardrobe. It's also surprising to me how many people are still not really familiar with the concept of vintage clothing - I meet these folks too. OR someone has been invited to a 1970's themed party and has heard we are the store to come to (because WE ARE!)
If you are new to the vintage game, there may be some things you will need to know, and will need to keep in mind.
KEEP AN OPEN MIND: If you come into a vintage store with the idea "I am looking for a red 1950's cocktail dress with a full skirt, halter style with rhinestone trim", you are NOT going to find it. Come in with no preconceived expectations, and you'll do fine. If you saw something in an old movie that you must find, you won't. Think of movies today - do we actually dress like that? It's the same for the past. The best thing in that case is to learn how to sew and make it yourself. Vintage sewing patterns are very easy to find and are not (usually) expensive.
SIZING HAS CHANGED: Marilyn Monroe was a size 12. True. But what you may not know is that in the 1950's a 12 was the equivalent of approximately a size 2 today. The woman was teeny. She had a 23 inch waist. If you wear a 12 today, do you have a 23" waist? Probably not. I think my thighs are 23". When you see a size tag in a garment, you have to think about how old the dress is, and then try to figure out what size it actually is. You are better off really not even looking at the tag. You do need to be self-aware and have a realistic idea of if this garment will actually fit. I have seen plenty of people attempt to get into a dress that is very obviously not going to fit. Wishful thinking is one thing. Realism is another. And similarly…
PEOPLE WERE ALL AROUND SMALLER: The average height of a woman in the Victorian era was 4'9". Now an average woman is 5'4". Not only have we gotten taller as humans, we have gotten wider. That is not to say that we are ALL overweight. Yes there is an obesity problem in the U.S., but even people who are slim, might have a larger skeleton than that of their grandmother. Yes, there are some very teensy people still around, but they are not the norm. We see 12 year old girls in the store who are already wearing size 12 shoes. Hormones in our food, our diets, medical care we receive all contribute to humans evolving into larger creatures. Women in the 1950's smoked, hardly ate, and wore girdles. Most vintage clothing is going to trend towards the smaller side. It's not impossible to find larger sizes, but small is more common.
BELL BOTTOMS ARE NOT PLENTIFUL: Not just bell bottoms, but anything from the 1940's and earlier can be rare. It wasn't until the 1950's that the mass-consumerism that we know today began. Up until then, people didn't have 4 closets full of clothes. Most women in the early part of the 20th century probably had one church dress and maybe only a handful of other garments to wear the rest of the time. When we are talking about WWII, clothing was rationed; you could only get one pair of shoes per year (I would DIE!!) Stinky hippies of the late 1960's generally wore their clothes out, so you really don't see that many pairs of bellbottoms around. And when you do, they are teeny tiny in the waist.
All of that being said don't give up!! If you love vintage, you can make it work. I am hardly a small woman, but I have TONS of vintage clothing that I have accumulated over the years. You can't just run out and create an entire new wardrobe of clothing from the 1940's in one afternoon. It takes time, and more importantly PATIENCE. It has taken me years to build up the collection I have, and I am still working on it.

This is so INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT and please do everything you can to get this word out. This reason alone is enough to throw McCain completely out of any politics ever.
This is straight from Glenn Beck. Please go to his website or Michelle Malkin's as soon as possible and do everything you can this information out to everyone you know.
Stay up to date with Michelle Malkin at her website, http://michellemalkin.com/
GLENN: Have you ever seen such an audacious slap in the face to the American people as this?
MALKIN: I haven't felt one like this in a long time, Glenn. I'm still reeling from it. But I do hope that as more people find out about McCain's open border roots that they won't buy the dye job that he's given himself and the instant immigration makeover that he's trying to sell to conservatives and Republicans.
GLENN: Okay, I want you to lay it — two pieces of audio, one from John McCain being asked about it and then another piece of audio from the gentleman that is now working with him. So you tell me the best time to play it while you explain what he's doing right now behind everybody's back.
MALKIN: Sure. Well, last month I received a tip from a concerned reader and she had listened to John McCain speak to the Hispanic Republicans in Nevada at a conference and apparently at this conference McCain was trying to tout his connection to a man named Dr. Juan Hernandez who has been named the national director of Hispanic outreach for the McCain 2008 campaign. This reader of mine was appalled when she learned of this hire and it had exactly the opposite effect that apparently McCain wanted it to have. This was supposed to be reassuring to Hispanic Republicans that this guy had been hired as outreach.
My colleague at hotair.com, Bryan Preston, confirmed this staff hire and, in fact, on John McCain's daughter's campaign website, there's a lovely, cozy picture of Juan Hernandez pivoting with Meghan McCain and Mark MacKinnon who is the campaign guru for John McCain. Well, who is this guy? I'm quite familiar with him. I've debated him several years on the cable TV circuit because he's one of the most ubiquitous ethnocentric open borders zealots on the scene.
GLENN: I have never — you know what, Michelle, he's been on my show quite a few times. In fact, I've banned him from the show. I'm just not going to give the guy any more airtime.
MALKIN: Good. He is an expert at filibustering and he is an expert at crooked talk. He talks a smooth game about how, of course, he supports our immigration laws but at the same time he had served as a Mexican cabinet official under Vicente Fox where he worked diligently to do nothing but undermine sovereignty and our laws. Yeah, it would be a great time to go ahead and play one of those audio clips because —
GLENN: Let's play, Stu, let's first play the John McCain and then we'll play the second clip of Juan Hernandez.
STU: Right, this is the answer because someone actually asked about Juan Hernandez.
GLENN: Here it is, here's John McCain.
VOICE: I wonder if you agree with those policies. If so, explain it to me. And if not, why is he on your staff.
McCAIN: He's on my staff because he supports my policies and my proposals and my legislative proposal to secure the borders first, that no one will receive Social Security benefits who is in this country illegally. I don't know what his previous positions are, other previous positions are but he supports mine. I have nothing to do with his. And he has volunteered to help me with outreach to our Hispanic citizenry as that is his reach as I outreach to every citizen in America. I've made very clear my position on immigration, made very clear on my position on Social Security and, of course, I am grateful that we have so many people who came from Ireland to the United States of America and anybody else who can come here legally under the right system and that's the only system that I would ever support and I have no idea but I will check into the information you've given me. But I want to promise you I will secure our borders. I will not allow anyone to come here illegally. I will not allow anyone to receive Social Security or any other benefit because they have come here illegally and broken our laws.
GLENN: Okay. That's John McCain. Now, it's so disingenuous to say he doesn't know who this man is or his policies. This is a guy who used to work for Vicente Fox. He is the most open border guy you could possibly imagine. Here's just one clip of Juan Hernandez, and we've got tons of them and we'll be playing them over the next few days. Here's just one clip of Juan Hernandez on TV.
HERNANDEZ: I don't think that we need to build walls to control immigration. We are the 21st century now and we're a country that has always broken down walls. Once again with regard to securing the borders, we need to work with Mexico. We're never going to have a secure border. We're not going to put a wall up for these hundreds and hundreds thousands of miles. We have to work with our neighbors. We need to think now for the future. Canada, the United States and Mexico as a block.
GLENN: Canada, Mexico and America as a block. That's who this guy is. Michelle?
MALKIN: A block, not a region. He said it many times. He also, when he worked for this Mexican bureaucracy called the presidential office for Mexican abroad, what he did was he spent his time traveling all across our country lobbying local, state and federal officials for driver's license for illegal aliens. He defended his operators who were carrying illegal aliens to the country and who promoted extending banking privileges here in the United States to illegal aliens, lobbied to get lower rates for them so that they could send home billions of dollars in remittances back to their country. The guy does not believe in borders. He is a senior fellow at something called the Reform Institute which is a think tank that John McCain founded and it has come under scrutiny by the mainstream media because it underscores John McCain's hypocrisy not just on open borders but also on campaign finance because he's used his supposedly nonpartisan, nonprofit thinking to solicit donations from big donors who he then goes and crusades for while he's sitting on Senate committees. At this reform institute which is in part funded with George Soros money, Juan Hernandez was in charge of leading the lobbying campaign for John McCain's amnesty effort last year. And this reform institute also sponsored an art contest for students where they spent their time demonizing the border. And you can go and look. I linked this on my website, to all of the art that compares the walls our borders and our border fences to the Berlin wall which keeps people in instead of walling people out to prevent invasion, to prevent undermining our sovereignty, to prevent encroaching of our laws. And for McCain to have the gall to stand there and tell that voter in Florida who, by the way, learned about this Juan Hernandez thing by looking at our research on the Internet, for him to say that he supports securing the border first when he's got a guy outreaching to illegal aliens to persuade them to make John McCain President? It's more than nauseating. I have an ulcer.
GLENN: Michelle, I mean, I don't think — I just don't think I have ever seen, well, at least on the GOP side I don't think I have seen anything more insidious than this kind of stuff. I mean, this is Bill Clinton insidiousness. This is somebody who is taking and wrapping themselves around an issue and trying to convince the American people that he's doing one thing and he is doing exactly the opposite behind our back.
If John McCain would get into office and this stuff would happen, I really honestly think, Michelle, and talk me down from this tree, I think John McCain is more dangerous even than Hillary Clinton because at least Hillary Clinton has Bill Clinton to make her triangulate eventually. There will be no stopping between John McCain and the Progressives of going down a road that is massive internationalists. Right or wrong?
MALKIN: I'm with you on much of that…
MALKIN: I'm with you on much of that. I think it's fascinating to —
GLENN: But hang on, Michelle. My point is if you have Hillary Clinton try to pull off what John McCain is going to try to pull off, I mean, and I don't believe he doesn't know this guy's policies. This guy is a leader. If he tried to pull this off and you have a Progressive Democratic congress, there's no one to stop it because there's enough John McCain Republicans in congress that it would sweep through. They're going to sweep through all kinds of treaties, all kinds of internationalism and there would be no stopping it. I mean, you've got — how did we get welfare reform? We got it with a Democratic President and a Republican congress. They swept it through. You want to have gigantic international global warming treaties or gigantic treaties that are signed for setting up a block of Mex-Ameri-Canada, you put John McCain in office.
MALKIN: Yeah, I understand your point about triangulation and I'm very down. I'm very depressed about the rise of John McCain. But I don't completely believe that we wouldn't be able to stop it. Look, we had a globalist open borders Republican President try to push amnesty through with the Progressive left, the open borders left. His name was George W. Bush and he did not get his way and that's thanks in large part to the conservatives and talk radio and in the grassroots who John McCain has the same hostility to. The point is we don't want to repeat history here. I don't want another George W. Bush open borders type in the White House. And, you know, I'm galled by all of the Republican establishments who think we should shut up about it. Yes, everybody should know about Juan Hernandez. Everybody should know about Jerry Perenchio who is the billionaire founder of Univision who is a national campaign co-chair of John McCain. People should know about it.
GLENN: What is his — besides him being the head of Univision, what is, you know, what's so devious about him?
MALKIN: He's also — I mean, he's Juan Hernandez with a billion dollars. Let's put it that way. He's led the campaign to fight an English emergent initiative which was hugely popular and won overwhelmingly in California with the 227 that abolished so-called bilingual education which is keeping students hostage and basically forcing them to learn a foreign language instead of English and it was included popularly and overwhelmingly especially by Hispanic parents, law-abiding Hispanic parents who were appalled at the public schools with teaching their kids Spanish instead of English. Well, Perenchio, who is the national co-chair for McCain, poured millions of dollars not only directly into the opposition campaign but he put hourly public service announcements on Univision claiming that this was just — it was not about helping Hispanic families, he was about helping his bottom line an keeping people from watching Univision instead of putting it into American culture. He's also given tons of money to Planned Parenthood and the National Resources Defense Council and you can see these are birds of a feather, Juan Hernandez, Jerry Perenchio, John McCain who, you know, isn't just a guy, the open borders type but also happens to be one of these stop global warming fear mongers. So it all says, and people should know the company that he keeps and the outreach that he is doing now to Reagan is, you know, completely cynical move to try and get into the office and nobody should buy it. This is the New York Times' favorite Republican.
GLENN: So Michelle, we were doing the math today on the election. How do you reverse this?
MALKIN: Well, I said last night that it is a Mt. Everest battle for Mitt Romney and, of course, Mitt Romney has this problem but one problem he doesn't have is he doesn't have a record of crushing his shoe heel into the face of the conservatives. I would rather have someone who has, you know, had an epiphany and is now coming to court conservative votes because he wants to represent them than to somebody who even, as he now claims that he's the conservative frontrunner, continues to insult and spit in their faces.
The grand prize winner incorporated the specious open-borders propaganda comparing our fence to keep trespassers out to the Berlin Wall designed to wall people in:

Gary Eichten
MPR's editor-at-large visits campus as McCarthy scholar
February 21, 2013
By Glenda Isaacs Burgeson
Gary Eichten '69 is one lucky guy. Just ask him.
The award-winning Minnesota Public Radio broadcaster talked about his good fortune while visiting the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University as the Eugene J. McCarthy Center's scholar-in-residence Feb. 11-14.
Eichten met with students, faculty and staff in a variety of venues, including classes, public presentations and encounters with small groups of students in a week that opened with a public conversation with CSB/SJU Professor and Saint John's University Chair in Critical Thinking Nicholas Hayes. It concluded with a keynote event featuring a public conversation and question-and-answer session with Gov. Mark Dayton.
As Eichten tells it, Lady Luck smiled on him when he got a liberal arts education as an SJU undergraduate, after he "chickened out" of his first choice, the University of Minnesota - too big for a guy from Mankato, Minn.
He was lucky as well to attend SJU at a time when then Saint John's President Fr. Colman Barry, OSB, was scheming with SJU graduate Bill Kling '64 to start a small radio station with a big vision, to offer world class cultural programming and public affairs to a local audience.
KSJR-FM went on the air in 1967, led by Kling with one engineer and a crew of SJU students, including Eichten.
To be sure, this unlikely crew faced challenges. Eichten recalled an overzealous cleaning lady who would raise the arm of the record turntable - in mid-broadcast - and give the vinyl record a thorough dusting, all the while oblivious to the fact she had just interrupted programming for the dozen or so avid Stearns County listeners the station had in its early days.
Also oblivious to the world class programming were the gophers that routinely gnawed the cables linking the station to the transmitter, knocking the station off the air.
In hindsight, the vision of Barry and Kling seems obvious. Eventually, the station outgrew its humble beginnings and evolved into the MPR we know now, with more than 800,000 listeners and widely recognized as one of the best public radio stations in the country, as well as a driving force for the success of National Public Radio.
At the time, to Eichten, "It was just a job." However, over time, he said he realized he loved doing radio.
Throughout his 40-plus-year career at MPR, Eichten worked a variety of assignments - news director, special events producer and station manager. For more than 20 years, as host of MPR's "Midday," Eichten earned a reputation among listeners, as well as guests, for fairness. His impartiality was such that, when he retired last year and accolades poured forth, the most common observation was that no one knew his political tilt.
Eichten's conversational interview style also stood in sharp contrast with the adversarial "gotcha" journalism in vogue. He has a simple explanation for that.
"I never considered myself a journalist," said the winner of the prestigious 2011 Graven Award from the Premack Public Affairs Journalism Awards Board for his contribution to excellence in the journalism profession. In 2007, Eichten was inducted into the Pavek Museum of Broadcasting's Hall of Fame. He also is the recipient of a Corporation for Public Broadcasting award for best local news program, and he assisted in the development of two Peabody award-winning documentaries.
"I was a radio announcer who had a public affairs program," he said matter-of-factly.
He may not have considered himself a journalist, but it was his voice MPR listeners heard on Oct. 25, 2002, when a plane carrying U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone went down near Eveleth in northern Minnesota, ending the lives of all eight on board.
Eichten recalled the details of that day before a rapt audience. "Midday" was airing a pre-recorded speech, and Eichten and his producer were preparing to leave St. Paul for Duluth for a political debate when they first realized there was a problem.
"Something had happened," he said, but they didn't know what exactly. It soon became clear there was a very important story, but it was not clear what the story was.
"We couldn't just sit there and play a pre-recorded speech," he said.
Eichten went on the air to explain what they knew - which was little - and what they didn't know - which was quite a bit. His main objective was to keep people informed in a non-emotional way.
"I think I did my job," he said of the experience that remains a searing memory.
Although Eichten's career spanned a time of growing hyper-partisanship and heated political rhetoric, he managed to avoid political theater by treating his guests with respect and focusing on questions he thought his listeners wanted asked.
And while his down-home style made it appear easy - whether he was interviewing an economist or historian, a governor or a U.S. senator - Eichten acknowledged he worked hard to achieve that easy-going conversational style.
For his "Midday" program, he got up at 3 a.m. to study the issues of the day, went on the air at 11 a.m. for a two-hour broadcast and then continued working until 8 p.m.
Although Eichten has retired from daily broadcasts, as luck would have it, MPR listeners will still hear his voice from time to time as he works on special projects.
Judging from the enthusiastic response of the CSB and SJU students who spent time with him, he may have some new listeners. More dumb luck.

In this new phase of collaboration, Discovery Education will support CUSD's efforts to develop District educators' capacity to build and sustain a culture of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education in their school system through the implementation of a multi-year STEM professional development initiative in 11 District elementary schools.
The strengthening of CUSD's partnership with Discovery Education also supports the District's CapoForward initiative. A reimagining of the educational programs in selected CUSD schools, CapoForward is transforming instruction by introducing a variety of innovative new teaching strategies into the learning environment. CapoForward also bolsters the District's mission to prepare students to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world and CUSD's goal of maintaining its position among the state's top-performing school districts.
Since 2014, K-5 classrooms across CUSD have used Discovery Education Streaming Plus, a comprehensive digital service that supplements instruction across all curricular areas, to create engaging and dynamic learning environments. Now, educators in the 11 elementary schools included in this initiative will participate in a professional capacity building model that develops and nurtures teachers and administrators as they create a culture of STEM within their school system. Through a shared leadership model, robust professional development, ongoing coaching, and administrative leadership support, educators participating in this initiative will develop a transdisciplinary curriculum preparing students for success beyond the classroom that can be scaled districtwide.
"We want every child engaged in meaningful, challenging, and innovative educational experiences that prepare them for greater opportunities and success, in their future education and after graduation," said Martha McNicholas, President of the Board of Trustees. "Discovery Education has been a great partner and we are thrilled to expand our relationship, and support our teachers as we focus on a cross-disciplinary approach to STEM education."
The Discovery Education Community will continue supporting CUSD educators as they transform students' learning experiences with digital media. A global community of education professionals, the Discovery Education Community connects members across school systems and around the world through social media, virtual conferences, and in-person events, fostering valuable networking, idea sharing and inspiration.
"We are excited to support the Capistrano Unified School District in their quest to reinvent instruction and build STEM-focused teaching experiences that truly engage students in learning," said Dana Dodge, Education Partnerships Manager at Discovery Education. "Discovery Education looks forward to partnering with Superintendent Vital and her talented team of administrators and teachers on this new endeavor."

LomoAmigo it's here!!09:03
I've been waiting for what feels like FOREVER to share this with you all. A while back I was asked by Lomography to be a LomoAmigo ...
I've been waiting for what feels like FOREVER to share this with you all. A while back I was asked by Lomography to be a LomoAmigo for the new Diana Mini camera (although not so new now) and I jumped at the chance.
As a LomoAmigo I was equipped with a Diana Mini and a whole bunch of film to go out and see what I could capture. I decided to take the camera to India with me and finally I can show you the results, there is also a few photos from Melbourne thrown in there too. So you can read the feature HERE ~ at the bottom of the article there's a little slideshow to click through all my photos. I hope you like them!!
I thought I would also take the time to share a few tips and things I've learned so far using the Diana Mini....maybe they will help if you're just starting out
Tips for using the Diana Mini
- Ive found high speed film is the best to use with the Mini. So start with 400 or if its a nice sunny day try out 200iso.
- Shooting in daylight gets the best results for standard 400iso film. Most of my indoor ones came out very fuzzy as there wasn't enough light, so I'm now trying out the flash and faster speed films for indoors - will let you know if this helps.
- oh and check that the little switch is on "N" and not slipped over to "B" (unless of course you want the B setting) I wasted a whole roll of film with this switch wrong!!!
- Winding the film on is definitely not exact, just wind till you feel it has tightened and hopefully your at the right spot!! if your not then you will get some nice double exposures anyways...and be careful not to wind too tight as that can break the film....made this mistake too.
If you have some of your own tips do share in the comments below.

i was just searching for tips on my new diana mini and i ran across this post. very helpful tips and i definitely have some 400 iso film so i'm going to start that. thanks!ReplyDelete
yes great tipsReplyDelete
i love thatfirst pic...esp the fact that u can tell it is film
i'm hoping you can help me. i've just purchased a diana mini & can't see the difference when i change the focus positions. also when i look through the viewfinder everything looks really far away even though it might be right in front of the camera. is this normal & is there away to fix it?ReplyDelete
thanks so much. hope you can help me :)
@rhian ~ hi, yes all this is normal. As it's a plastic camera and not an SLR the view finder isnt a "real" view finder. So when you look through the view finder your not actually looking through the lense. Use the view finder as a guide only, and experiment with shooting from the hip, as in not using the view finder at all.... your first few films might not work, but when you do get those few photos that work out...its magic!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the post! Very helpful, I just got the diana mini for Christmas and so stoked to start experimenting!ReplyDelete

Brigitta N, British Columbia
- 12/26/2011
About Me
My name is Brigitta and I was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. I am a Canadian citizen and live in beautiful British Columbia. My dad is a retired international banker, so as a child I moved a lot and experienced most of Europe and North America. I have lived in Denmark, Germany, England, New Jersey, Florida and numerous places in Canada. I have also been an avid traveler, visiting most of Europe, Africa, United States, Canada and many tropical island destinations. I work in the tourism industry as a front desk clerk in a hotel. My interests and hobbies include travel, horseback riding and skiing. If I were one of the Disney fairies, I would be "Beck" who is an animal talent fairy because I love working with animals.
About My Family
I am all about family! I have a beautiful 13-year-old daughter, a terrific brother, a wonderful niece and nephew, and, of course, my mom and dad. We all live in British Columbia and are a very close family. We love to travel as a family and love Walt Disney World. My Disney World experiences started with my parents taking me and my brother there starting in 1975 and I have continued this tradition with my daughter who has been there more than 15 times. My parents still travel with us on most of our Walt Disney World vacations.
About My Disney Experience
I have gained my vast knowledge of Walt Disney World through my many visits over the years. Since having my daughter, I still visit at least once a year for several weeks at a time, and keep up-to-date on all things new and exciting. I am so excited to share through the Moms Panel, my tips on Walt Disney World which will allow me to relive all of my magical Disney World memories.

My grandmother Vernetta "Vernie" Gertrude (Jones) Barnes was born in Lawrence, Essex County, Massachusetts in 1892. Her parents were newly-arrived immigrants, having come down from New Brunswick, like countless other immigrants, in search of jobs, better living conditions, and prospects for their children's futures. When they arrived, Lawrence was a booming textile center, a leading producer of woolens. Her father, Jared, was a 30-year old farmer, strong and accustomed to hard work, which he readily found upon his arrival. Lawrence mills were reaching their pinnacle of production, and treatment of the mostly foreign-born workers became ever-more unacceptable, as companies continually pushed their employees for higher output.
The woolen and cotton mills employed over 40,000 persons, about half of Lawrence's population over age fourteen...Office workers averaged about $8.76 for a full week's work. In addition, the cost of living was higher in Lawrence than elsewhere in New England. Rents, paid on a weekly basis, ranged from $1.00 to $6.00 a week for small tenement apartments in frame buildings which the Neil Report found "extra hazardous" in construction and potential firetraps. Congestion was worse in Lawrence than in any other city in New England; mill families in 58 percent of the homes visited by federal investigators found it necessary to take in boarders to raise enough money for rent...Of the 22,000 textile workers investigated by Labor Commissioner Neil, well over half were women and children who found it financially imperative to work in the mills. Half of all the workers in the four Lawrence mills of the American Woolen Company were girls between ages fourteen and eighteen. Dr. Elizabeth Shapleigh, a Lawrence physician, wrote: "A considerable number of the boys and girls die within the first two or three years after beginning work . . . thirty-six out of every 100 of all the men and women who work in the mill die before or by the time they are twenty-five years of age. Because of malnutrition, work strain, and occupational diseases, the average mill worker's life in Lawrence was over twenty-two years shorter than that of the manufacturer, stated Dr. Shapleigh... Early in January 1912 I.W.W. activities focused on a dramatic ten-week strike of 25,000 textile workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts. It became the most widely publicized I.W.W. conflict, acquainting the nation with the plight of the unskilled, foreign-born worker as well as with the organization's philosophy of radical unionism.
Family stories say that Vernetta was not able to continue her education after graduation from the Emily G. Wetherby School in 1906 at age 14, and was obliged to go directly to work in the woolen mills. If she did, it was only for a short while. And she was very lucky to have survived, given the above-cited statistics!
The 1910 census tells us that by the age of 18, she had moved up to a position of bookkeeper in a grocery store, so we know that she was out of the horrible working conditions of the mills, and would have only witnessed, not participated in, the momentous Bread and Roses strike of 1912. The advantages of speaking English and looking like a Yankee, plus her own intelligence and drive, must have helped her tremendously. When her wedding was announced in 1913, she was described as "a popular operator at the local telephone exchange," a job that she enjoyed. A story has been passed down in the family about her eavesdropping on a steamy conversation, and giving herself away by letting out a heartfelt sigh. This was risky behavior for a telephone operator!

Guillermo Ricardo De La Vara, 68, Phoenix, Arizona, has been sentenced in Maricopa County Superior Court to three-and-a-half years in prison on charges of theft and fraudulent schemes and artifices.
Over a two-year period from 2005 to 2007, De La Vara fraudulently obtained millions of dollars from investors by selling promissory notes and interests in deeds of trust, called "lien investments" though his companies, "Mortgage Notes, Inc." and "MNI Properties, LLC."
De La Vara falsely claimed that these lien investments were secured by real property, and would be appropriately recorded. However, neither De La Vara nor his companies had any legal right to the properties covered by many of the lien investments, and investors did not receive the monthly payments from the investments that they were promised.
De La Vara was indicted on 80 counts, including 19 counts of theft, one count of fraud, two counts of forgery, one count of illegal control of an enterprise and 57 counts of securities law violations.
In addition to prison time, De La Vera will be placed on seven years of probation upon his release. He is also required to pay the 26 investor-victims in the case restitution of $5.7 million and pay $125,000 in administrative penalties to the Arizona Corporation Commission.
Attorney General Terry Goddard today announced the sentence.
The investigation of the case was led by Special Agents of the Securities Division of the Arizona Corporation Commission, and the case was prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Michael Flynn.

OMG. U guys are just suggesting change for the sake of change. Please draw line combos where this team is better by getting rid of those players. The roster is unmatched. It's not the composition of the roster's fault we lost.
I agree the roster is very strong. It would be easier to see coaching changes in the offseason than to expect to see wholesale changes at forward. I'm not even sure we have great options in trading away some of the defensive problems.
I see a new back up goalie but this organization isn't giving up on Fleury and if they do, what's his trade value right now?
Potential is what gets coaches fired and if there's a major change I think it will be behind the bench.

No defense has been better at taking the ball away than Chicago's.
And no Bear has been better at it than Tim Jennings, which is why he won NFC defensive player of the month honors Thursday.
The Bears cornerback leads the NFL with four interceptions, and his nine passes broken up are tied for the league lead.
Jennings has also broken up a pair of passes which were intercepted by teammates.
The Bears lead the league with 14 takeaways and 11 interceptions.

Relationships – Balancing the Male and Female Within Ourselves
Which of us hasn't dreamed of assuredly award and befitting our complete relationship? What if we are in a affiliation that is ambagious and consistently changing? How do we cope with the accident and affliction relationships can sometimes bring? What if we don't assume to be alluring any affectionate of affectionate interactions at all?
The alive dynamics of acceptable relationships are for abounding of us one of the greatest mysteries of life. It is a abstruse anniversary of us seeks to break from the day we are acquainted there is added than one of us around. Why do interpersonal interactions — something we are all affianced in every day, every minute, every additional of our lives — sometimes assume so challenging, complicated, confusing, difficult, and mysterious?
The superior of our partnerships with others in actuality reflects the superior of the relationships we acquire with ourselves. Do we apperceive who we are, and do we like who that is? Do we acquire we are aces and deserve actual love? While we may apperceive how we would like anyone to adulation us, do we adulation ourselves that way already? Do we affirmation and acquire all locations of ourselves? The basal band for a lot of all of us is we artlessly would like to be admired and accustomed for who we are, for our complete selves.
As we change our close analogue or arrangement of our macho and changeable selves to a abode of antithesis and self-acceptance, we are able to allure anyone who is added cogitating of our accurate counterpart. Even if we are counterbalanced with our close adult reflection, if we do not like our own femininity, we would be clumsy to actualize a absolutely counterbalanced accord for ourselves.
One aspect abounding humans do not accord abundant anticipation to is that we attending to our ally to reflect aspects of ourselves aback to us. For example, if we are a woman, our accomplice is captivation a abode for us so we can bigger acquire the feminine allotment of ourselves. If we are a male, our accomplice is captivation a abode for us to acquire the adult allotment of ourselves. Although this may be the adverse way a lot of humans appearance their relationships, how, if we were a woman, would we be bigger able to acquire what blazon of woman we were unless anyone could reflect it aback to us as we collaborate with them?
The assignment of any accord is consistently to acquisition ourselves, to acquire ourselves, to be the complete and accustomed selves we already are. The abandoned accurate accord we anytime absolutely acquire is the one we acquire with ourselves. Aggregate else, every added interaction, whether we adeptness apprehend it or not, is artlessly a reflection. As continued as we abide accepting our natural, counterbalanced selves, the complete us, we abide to consistently allure relationships that will serve to admonish us of what and who we are not. Afraid who we are will, therefore, usually attracts relationships that are unfulfilling, or ones area we acquire to plan actual hard. By accepting absolutely and absolutely who we are, we afresh allure relationships that reflect aback to us the adequateness of our artistic being. It is the age old adage: What we put out is what we get back.
Many of us activity as if we are abandoned bisected complete. If we activity the beating of bisected of an individual, searching about for anyone abroad to complete us, we allure an abridged relationship. The consistent alternation with anyone admiring in this address will usually appear up abbreviate of what we alluringly desire. Entering into any alternation from the angle we charge the accord to feel complete, after-effects in the accord continuing to reflect and admonish us of our accepting in our incompleteness. What we will acquire is a affiliation fabricated up of two bisected people, absolutely acceptable to neither person. If we apperceive we are a accord unto ourselves, complete and acceptable aural ourselves, we set up a beating that attracts anyone with those aforementioned qualities and assurance. Too abounding times humans accomplish out long, admirable lists of all the attributes they ambition their complete accomplice to have. The catechism to ask is, are we all those things? Do we acquire all those attributes? Unless we are able to reflect the blazon of vibrational accepting we acquire to attract, how will we anytime be apparent and accustomed by anyone who does?
We consistently allure our analogue of what we anticipate we are able of attracting, no amount what may be on our ambition list. The aboriginal catechism we should ask ourselves (the a lot of basal catechism for any relationship) is: What do we get out of it? What do we get out of accepting a accord with so and so? Secondly, what did we apprentice about ourselves by accepting in that relationship? We primarily allure situations to ourselves that actualize interactions, accepting us to abide to accelerate, serve, and apprentice who we are. We can do this with ease, grace, love, and joy, or through the academy of harder knocks. The best is consistently ours.
The acumen for apropos to anyone abroad is for the befalling to allotment who we are. Approaching a accord as an befalling to allotment attracts individuals who reflect our accepting in our own completeness. If our relationships are set up this way, we are able to collaborate with the added accepting as two complete individuals advancing calm to allotment experiences. We will both apperceive and acquaintance the abstraction of claimed fulfillment.
When we put expectations or amount judgments on the aftereffect of our relationships, we never in actuality get to acquaintance the complete acumen we created the accurate alternation in the aboriginal place. For this reason, it is important to acquire relationships for what they are. If we invalidate what we acquire fatigued into our lives, we are absolutely abandoning ourselves.
It is important to acquire why we acquire fatigued assertive individuals into our lives. We usually acquire admiring others to acquiesce ourselves the befalling to abound and to accord us added admonition about who we are. The abstraction is not to become like anniversary other. The abstraction is to acquiesce anniversary abandoned to be the strongest, healthiest, a lot of counterbalanced abandoned they can possibly be. Sometimes we adeptness overlook this because we anticipate accord is the artefact of conformity. Accord is the artefact of acceding and accepting adequation to character and diversity. In a counterbalanced relationship, we do not lose our individuality — just the adverse occurs. We anniversary become stronger reflections for anniversary added of all that is accessible for anniversary of us. The purpose of any accord is to acquiesce us to be added of who we acquire to be. It is like searching into a mirror and seeing addition aspect of ourselves. This does not beggarly our relationships will be an exact 1-1 absorption of who we anniversary are. Rather, our relationships become a absorption of what the two of us acquire agreed to apprentice and advise anniversary other.
The best accessible accord is a counterbalanced sharing, afterwards dependency. Anniversary affair in a accord has strong, accustomed attributes that can abetment the added in their growth. If our abutment is aimed at creating a amplitude for our accomplice or acquaintance to abound in their own self-support, the accord will be a blessed and blooming one. Anticipate of it this way. Instead of consistently doling out baby pieces of bread, wouldn't it be of true, abiding account to advise anyone how to broil their own bread? If we are in a accord area we are giving, giving, giving, it sends out the bulletin to our ally that we do not acquire they acquire the adeptness to bender or apish up their own accordance of abyss and sufficiency. Action abutment to others as continued as it does not represent the abstraction we are demography on albatross for them. We cannot absolutely be albatross for added adults. Our attempts to do this usually leads us actual bound to appraise our own issues about boundaries, because demography on addition person's responsibilities brings us alfresco of area we adopt to be. The abstraction of albatross is not to lay the accusation on anyone, rather it allows us the abandon to acquire what we prefer.
In a counterbalanced relationship, anniversary of us can still do what we adopt to do. We don't acquire to change our lives just because anyone abroad disapproves. There is no acumen to attack to be annihilation that we are not. Accomplishing that abandoned brings us added of what we are not. We will abandoned become added uncomfortable, unhappy, unhealthy, and unsuccessful, if we accumulate aggravating to be something we are not. It is basic to accurate who we are, be who we are, and say what we think. We should abandoned change our lives because we acquire to, and because we are acceptable added absolutely the complete us. If we apperceive we are activity in accurate claimed integrity, even if others about us don't like it or wish us to change, we abide to be who we are.
If we are accomplishing what we adore and adulation in life, it actual bound provides us accepting of who we absolutely are. The abstraction is consistently to relax, acquire fun and be ourselves. Remember, anyone we allure into our lives by accepting ourselves belongs in our lives. Accepting of account to ourselves and others is abandoned accessible if we are complete aural our own selves. If we are not absolutely ourselves, afresh the added accepting is not absolutely in a accord with the complete us anyway!
Why would any of us actualize a accomplished alternation of amiss relationships? The acumen itself is basically actual simple. Either we acquire abandoned who we are, or we are abashed to acquire who we are. Who we are is in actuality our by itself centered selves in a accompaniment of antithesis and complete self-acceptance. As continued as we abide accepting our natural, counterbalanced selves, the complete us, we will not allure harmonious, continued lasting, or advantageous relationships.
Once we become accurate to ourselves, we automatically allure the adapted accepting to ourselves, even as we move through changes. If anyone decides to change or leave a accord with us, apprehend their activity is no best in accord with ours. Therefore, by compassionate this even if anyone leaves us annihilation will absolutely be missing. We cannot absence annihilation from a beating that we are not absolutely a allotment of.
We can absolutely appearance we adulation somebody by accepting them for who they are and by accepting them to be just area they already are. It is actual important not to put any apprehension on how it acquire to be, or affliction how it was or was not. If we reside in the moment and affirmation ourselves abundant to be in anniversary and every moment, we consistently allure whomever is adapted for ourselves. The best admonition anytime accustomed for relationships is to trust, let go, and be ourselves. Affirmation is the cement for any accord — the affirmation we feel for ourselves, as able-bodied as the affirmation we acquire with others.
All relationships, if created through a faculty of integrity, are fundamentally enhancing. Relationships are meant to aggrandize and evolve. If our relationships bind us and could could could cause us to arrest and repress our accurate selves, we charge to ask ourselves actual bound what are we still accomplishing in the those relationships? What acquaint are we acquirements from blockage in these situations? If relationships are created from a point of artifice — and it could even be we are backbiting with ourselves, or with the added humans about our accuracy — afresh these types of relationships will act as exclusive, clinking interactions. If we are able to let go of abhorrence in our relationships, we become compassionately admiring and accepting of the added accepting so they, in turn, can be accurate to themselves. It is up to us to set the archetype first. The abrogating ancillary of abutment is abetment and assurance and this makes anybody feel icky.
Some of us may acquire a abhorrence that accepting a able abandoned will could could could cause problems or break and may eventually advance us abroad from one another. However, this is not accurate in a advantageous relationship. The point is not to angular on anyone, the abstraction is to abutment them. In acknowledging them, we become supported. Added importantly, we all charge to convenance actual love, acceptance, and abutment for ourselves. This is what allows us to affirmation and know, no amount what changes are made. Know, by all-powerful law, we are never cut off from annihilation that is absolutely advised for us.
When we appear from a abode of candor and changes activity afresh the changes accord in our lives. Abhorrence of change is usually the abhorrence of accident something. If we acquire aggregate is accident as it needs to, afresh we never charge to abhorrence accident anything. It is usually abandoned the abhorrence of the change that prevents us from alteration forth with our partners. By absolution go of our fears, we will apperceive that no amount how abundant we adeptness change, we will allure whatever and whoever is representative, harmonious, and unified with our changes.
If we acquiesce change into our lives as we by itself abound and advance — instead of afraid it or assuming it isn't accident — the all-inclusive amounts of activity we acclimated to put into afraid change become accessible for our own artistic purposes. It has been said the abandoned connected affair in this apple is change. As we account the changes that activity in our lives, we will acquisition we no best acquaintance others who acquire fabricated the best to reside and act differently. We will collaborate and co-create with those who abide on the aforementioned akin as we do, with agnate natures and vibrations. The best way to allotment our acumen and account is to artlessly be an archetype ourselves.
If we feel we acquire to mold, change, or dispense our partners, the accord bears examination. If we force anyone to do something, it is a account that we acquire we will never absolutely get what we are after, or that the accepting we are with will not be able to accord it to us. If we force changes in our relationships, even if assertive changes activity for awhile, our relationships are no best in antithesis or integrity. Sooner or after the individuals who are accepting affected to go adjoin their accurate selves will be affected to leave as the accord is no best a absorption of the complete them.
Force is a non-integrated, adulterated way of demography action. Remember, anybody by itself moves at the complete amount and acceleration for themselves already. There is never any complete acumen to advance anyone (by force) to attending and acquire things they are not accessible for. Even if they would be able to apprehend or see some allotment of the assignment we are attempting to force down their throats, until they are ready, in their own time and place, they will never butt a accurate compassionate of the assignment we are banishment them to learn. And because of our intervention, their aboriginal assignment became adulterated and is abundant added difficult and ambagious for them to learn. Usually, already interfered with, they will acquire to charm their assignment all over afresh in an accomplishment to amend our interference.
Someone is accessible to absolutely accretion from our abetment and acumen if they ask, of their own chargeless will, for our advice and insight. In such an instance, accuracy and acumen is afresh shared, understood, and chip in just the adapted way. The added person, by the actuality of their asking, is in just the adapted abode and accompaniment area they can absolutely hear, apperceive and acquire what we acquire to offer.
If we feel we charge to accumulate ourselves safe or assure ourselves, we end up attached the blazon of relationships we can create. We apprehend generally from others that they are not currently in accord because it does not feel safe. Two things adeptness be the cause. If we feel we charge safety, we may somehow feel we are in a accord that will not acquiesce us to be our complete selves. On the added hand, if we are in a accord that is not satisfying, but we break in it because we feel safe, maybe we are not safe with the abstraction of demography abounding albatross for who and what we are, and who and what we could be. As anon as we stop afraid our accustomed selves, our absoluteness will automatically change to acquiesce admiring and admiring relationships to appear into our lives.
In some cases, humans feel they charge assurance to abstain accepting in a position area they could be abandoned or vulnerable. Some of us would rather be abandoned than accurate our accurate close needs. If we are in a accord area we do not feel safe or adequate cogent our centermost close needs, we are abandoned anyway. We are artlessly abandoned together.
Trust absolutely boils down to our own adeptness to affirmation ourselves. Complete affirmation occurs if we acquire an complete knowingness we deserve to exist. Do we acquire to do something appropriate in adjustment to deserve to exist? No. We artlessly acquire to be. Creation has already assured we deserve to exist. Can we accord ourselves the aforementioned acknowledgment, respect, and love? We acquire a All-powerful adapted to abide in the address we choose, artlessly because we adopt it! There is no added acumen needed.
Most of the problems that activity in relationships are acquired by what is not accepting said, rather than what is said. Non communication, or withheld communication, is artlessly addition way abounding of us authority aback the complete us from our partner. The botheration with bond advice is added circuitous than adeptness aboriginal be perceived. Saying "everything is all right," if we are cerebration "drop dead," will not fool the added accepting for actual long. Our complete heart's accuracy and our honest animosity will consistently be psychically best up by the added accepting on some level. Count on it! This is an adeptness we all have. It is the aforementioned faculty that tells us if there has been a big action or altercation as we footfall into a abnormally quiet and close room. It is the aforementioned faculty that we use psychically to agilely browse ample groups of strangers at a party, as we adjudge who would be absorbing to absorb an black accepting to know.
Direct bond advice is generally acclimated by absorbed by a man we know, able-bodied abreast in aggressive arts. He uses it to defeat actual able and able-bodied accepted karate masters. Gifted in his own right, this accurate admirer is actual acquainted of the ability of bond advice and uses it to his advantage. As he takes his basic bows afore his bender begins, he smiles on the alfresco while mentally bulging acute abandon appear his opponent. His adversary agilely and mentally picks up these projected after-effects of antagonistic energy. These after-effects briefly abbreviate out his opponents' ability centers, authoritative it about absurd for them to avert themselves as the bender begins.
Every relationship, in adjustment to abound and flourish, requires accessible and honest advice advancing from a point of close accuracy and balance. Honest advice enables the added accepting to absolutely chronicle and to acquire a accord with who we in actuality are. Open, clear, acquainted advice enables the added accepting to beam and act with trust, for they apperceive area they stand. By accepting bright and direct, they will not be accepting one bulletin from us verbally and addition altered or opposing one psychically. It is time to allotment what is in our hearts with truth, trust, honest, and clarity.
True artistic relationships are bidding and accomplished from a accompaniment of airy affirmation and artistic joy. Relationships are artlessly acquirements how to play with anniversary other, how to adulation and acquire ourselves unconditionally, and how to affirmation who and what we are. If we allotment ourselves in a relationship, we will feel our own faculty of completeness, and we will apprehend we are never alone. Acquiesce yourselves to bethink the apple is magical, and acquiesce that abracadabra and attraction aback into your life. Be who you are, and do the things you adulation to do as generally as you can! That is absolutely the abandoned way to absolutely reside our lives.
