Buying a home will probably rank as one of the biggest personal investments one can make. Being organized and in control will contribute significantly to getting the best home deal possible with the least amount of stress. It's important to anticipate the steps required to successfully achieve your housing goal and to build a plan of action that gets you there.
Before you can build a plan of action, take the time to lay the groundwork for your decision-making process.
First, ask yourself how much you can afford to pay for a home. If you're not sure on the price range, find a lender and get pre-approved. Pre-approval will let you know how much you can afford, allowing you to look for homes in your price range. Getting pre-approved also helps you to alleviate some of the anxieties that come with home buying. You know exactly what you qualify for and at what rate, you know how large your monthly mortgage payments will be, and you know how much you will have for a down payment. Once you are pre-approved, you avoid the frustration of finding homes that you think are perfect, but are not in your price range.
Second, ask yourself where you want to live and what the best location for you and/or your family is. Things to consider:

Olympic Dreams
Between now and February 26, we'll be glued to our television set watching as almost 2,500 athletes from around the world skate, ski, and slide their way toward an Olympic medal in Turin, Italy. If you're like us, you're marveling at the hard work, dedication, and pure athletic ability on display at this year's Games.
We had to know what it takes to get there, so we took a moment to talk with three female athletes — two Olympians and one aspiring Olympian — to find out how they trained, what they ate, and when they slept as they prepared for the Games. (Suddenly, working out three times a week doesn't seem like such a sacrifice anymore.) Read on to learn more about the training regimens of skeleton slider Katie Uhlaender, who makes her Olympic debut in Turin on Thursday, Summer Olympic veteran in cycling Kristin Armstrong, and 2008 Olympic hopeful in gymnastics Shawn Johnson.
Katie Uhlaender, Skeleton Slider
During her first season on the World Cup circuit in 2004-05, skeleton slider Katie Uhlaender competed with a broken foot and a partially fractured ankle. Since then, she's had two off-season surgeries. But this 21-year-old from Colorado isn't letting past adversity cramp her style in Turin. The three-time U.S. champion will compete in her first Olympic race on Thursday. She is the only American woman in the event.
"I feel like I've been through enough stuff and have enough experience that I feel like I should perform," Uhlaender said. Since arriving in Italy, her schedule has been packed and there's a lot of action going on around her, but Uhlaender keeps her eyes on her reason for being there.
"I've been pretty narrow-minded. There's one thing to focus on," Uhlaender said. She's been prepping her sled and her mind, walking the track and doing maintenance to keep her body fresh. A major part of this is eating right.
"I pay attention to what I eat, and when. It's about nutritional timing," Uhlaender said.
Skeleton is a sledding sport where sliders launch themselves headfirst down icy tracks on sleds that reach speeds of 80 mph. Sliders are in peak form when they maximize their weight while staying lean and explosive, Uhlaender said. Right now, she weighs about 150 pounds and is 14 percent body fat.
Uhlaender's breakfast usually consists of eight egg whites with spinach and cheese, oatmeal, or yogurt. She gives herself at least a half an hour to digest her breakfast before starting her training session. She packs on the carbs before workouts or just afterward, and during the day, she keeps the ratio between carbs and protein lower.
"It's mostly about balance," Uhlaender said. "I can't not eat carbs. That would take away energy and I won't feel good. I need energy to compete." She eats about every two to three hours because of her intense training regimen. She'll often have a salad with a chicken breast for lunch and she loves burgers. When she's really trying to put on weight, she'll have cottage cheese with protein powder at night.
During the summer, Uhlaender has a packed schedule. From about 9:30 until 12:30, she's at the track running sprints. Then she takes a break for lunch before hitting the weight room from 3 until 5:30. Afterward, she tends to her body by stretching and spending time in the cold tubs. By 7:00, she's eating dinner and by 8:00, she's studying the tracks and looking at past races.
"I'm completely focused on training and sport," Uhlaender said. "I did everything I could to know that when I walk into the Olympic stadium, I feel prepared."
Uhlaender said walking in the Opening Ceremonies last Friday was "indescribable."
"My cheeks were sore from smiling," she said. "It's special because I'm surrounded by the best in the world."
You can see Uhlaender's Olympic debut Thursday, February 16, on NBC.
Kristin Armstrong, Cyclist
Kristin Armstrong says she was born with a competitive game face.
"At Christmas, I'll play Dominoes with my family and friends, and they'll say they don't want to play with me because I'm so competitive," the 32-year-old Armstrong said. That competitive drive has led to impressive results on the bike. In the road race at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Armstrong finished eighth. A two-time member of the U.S. World Championship team, Armstrong was the 2005 U.S. national champion in the time trial. In 2001, Armstrong developed osteoarthritis, and the former triathlete was forced to give up running because of its impact on her hips. So she focused on cycling.
In a typical week, Armstrong rides for 20 to 25 hours. She trains in 10-day spurts before taking a day off, although she's found that an easy day can be just as beneficial as a day of rest. On some Mondays, she'll ride for about 45 minutes to an hour and a half on a flat course in an easy gear.
"It's not necessarily a day off, but mentally it's a day off," Armstrong said.
After the world championships in September, she usually abandons her bike for a month. She stays active by hiking with friends, but she doesn't participate in strenuous activity.
Now she's focusing on building her mileage base and strength training. Armstrong lowers the number of rotations per minute and shifts down, which creates more tension, and rides slowly up hills.
"There are a couple approaches to strength," Armstrong said. "My coach believes in building strength through the motion you need to do."
Armstrong has been working with her coach, Jim Miller, for about four years.
"One of the best things I did for myself was hire a coach," Armstrong said. "If you trust in your coach, it takes the pressure off you."
Hiring a coach or a trainer helped Armstrong focus on things she wasn't as good at, like taking time off.
"All athletes and exercise fanatics know how to work out well," Armstrong said. "Often you'll go workout after work for two hours and do the same things. We're creatures of habit. A coach is not so habitual."
Although training is essentially Armstrong's full time job, she values balance in her life. Fortunately, she was accepted into the Home Depot program, which allows her to work 20 hours per week with full time wages and benefits. Work is also a distraction.
"If I have an injury or something is wrong (in cycling), I'm not fixated on it," Armstrong said. Armstrong also cross-trains by skiing near her home in Boise, Idaho, and she practices yoga a couple of times per week.
Shawn Johnson, Gymnast
Fourteen-year-old Shawn Johnson started taking gymnastics lessons when she was 3 years old.
"When I was little, I just did it because I loved it," Johnson said. "When I started getting to the higher levels, I started thinking about making the elite. I put in more hours and learned more skills."
Johnson was named to the U.S. Junior National team in August 2005 and now she has her eyes set on Olympic Gold in the Beijing Summer Games in 2008.
The eighth-grader in West Des Moines, Iowa, attends a full day of school before heading to the gym for four-hour workouts. Johnson spends five hours in the gym on Saturdays and takes Sundays off.
Practice consists of at least 30 minutes of conditioning, stretching (she usually arrives a half an hour early for additional stretching) and endurance training, and about 50 minutes on each event. Johnson will complete extra tricks at the end of a routine during practice, and she runs to build endurance.
Her strength training relies on her own body weight and exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, squat jumps, and pull-ups. For exercises like sit-ups, she usually does as many reps as she can of each exercise in one minute. Usually she does about 30 pull-ups, although she revealed that she's done up to 100 at one time.
"We're not allowed to use weights," Johnson said. "It doesn't give gymnasts the right proportion."
Johnson says she pays attention to her diet to be a healthier gymnast, but she's not obsessive over it. Between school and practice she grabs a snack, usually some sort of protein or fruit, to prepare her body for the intense workout. During practices, she usually takes a 10-minute break and noshes on some fruit; her favorite is strawberries.
Johnson's favorite event is the 4-inch-wide balance beam that sits 4 feet off the ground. She is working on a sequence of two back-handsprings followed by a back layout full twist on the apparatus. Although new tricks still scare her even at this level, she's learned to manage her fears and trust her coaches.
"They're always telling me they wouldn't let me do anything if I wasn't ready or if I would get hurt," Johnson said. "They always know when I'm ready."
Right now, Johnson is using the Winter Olympics in Turin as inspiration for her own dreams of competing in 2008.
"I love the speed skating, ice skating, and skiing," Johnson said. "It's actually really scary that the next Olympics is the one I'm going for, but it pumps me up to want to work harder to get there."

"Regarding A Shot in the Dark, I have a bone to pick with Ms Cape! As I am a writer myself, I do not have a great deal of time to read other people's work without severely cutting into my own productivity. Still, I do usually manage to eke out a few minutes per day in this endeavor. Ms Cape's tale, however, is directly responsible for those "few minutes" having turned into several, enough so that they became hours!
A Shot in the Dark is an excitingly fascinating work that binds the reader to the saddle right out of the starting gate and provides a wild ride reminiscent of Mr. Toad's! We meet freelance photographer Kady Swann and an enigmatic stranger named Silas, who captivates Kady's — and our — interest from the outset, causing more questions to form in our minds than it seems he will ever be willing to answer. The two are drawn together into a peculiarly compelling relationship that immediately becomes fraught with intrigue and danger sufficient to satisfy Dean Koontz, whose prodigious work came to mind as I was reading that of Jayleigh Cape.
Working with and assisted by heroes, battling and confounded by villains, these two protagonists wend their way through a story that has been as skillfully crafted as any I have read. All too often, reviewers will give kudos to the valiant efforts exhausted in a writer's first novel. However, although this novel is Jayleigh Cape's premier opus, it most certainly does not read like one. Ms Cape is one of those rarities in the plethora of writers in the market today: a true powerhouse of a talent!
Five stars seem insufficient."

text: Our Services Sleep Consultation During an initial sleep consultation, a sleep specialist will interview the patient about his/her sleep habits. The specialist uses the patient's history to evaluate symptoms such as difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, daytime sleepiness or fatigue, breathing problems during sleep, restless legs at night and other various troublesome behaviors. The sleep specialist may recommend an overnight sleep study known as a Polysomnogram, to further evaluate patients. Sleep Study A sleep study, or Polysomnogram (PSG), is an overnight recording of sleep patterns and behaviors associated with sleep. It is performed in order to determine what stages of sleep an individual achieves and whether any sleep-related abnormalities are present. A variety of sensors are applied with paste or tape to the body's surface to record brain waves, eye movements, muscle tone, body movements, heart rate and breathing patterns. Audiovisual recordings are also made, and the oxygen content of the blood is measured non-invasively with a simple clip on the index finger. These procedures are painless, and although there are connecting wires to the sensors, the patient is free to get up and walk around as needed. During the sleep study, every attempt is made to allow for a normal night's sleep. Some people typically sleep better or worse when away from home, but in either case this does not usually affect the quality of the sleep study. The St. Joseph Hospital Sleep Disorders Center has a homey, bedroom-like atmosphere with select comfort beds and dish satellite TV. A VCR is also provided. Patients wear their own bedclothes, can bring their favorite pillow, and can shower in the morning. A trained sleep technologist is there to explain the procedure, operate the diagnostic equipment, and is stationed all night in an adjacent control room to both monitor the sleep recording and ensure the patient's comfort. Following the sleep study, a board-certified sleep specialist interprets the recording. The findings are integrated with the patient's sleep history to determine a diagnosis and make the appropriate treatment recommendations. A sleep study report is also sent to the patient's primary care physician, who should review the results with the patient at a follow-up office visit. Titration Study (CPAP) As a result of a sleep study (Polysomnogram or PSG), a patient may be diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) , and may be sent by the primary care physician back to the sleep center for another sleep study with CPAP (pronounced — see-pap). CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and is the most effective and widely used method of treating sleep apnea. While asleep, this system gently delivers air into a person's airway through a specially designed mask which fits over the nose or mouth, thereby creating enough pressure to keep the airway open and produce immediate relief from sleep apnea and snoring. Most people find they get used to the CPAP apparatus after a few minutes and have little difficulty sleeping with it in place. It is important to note that the CPAP does not breathe for the person, but instead allows the person to breathe at a normal rate. At the beginning of a CPAP study sensors are applied to the patient's body as they were for the Polysomnogram and again brain waves, eye movements, muscle tone, breathing patterns and blood oxygen levels are monitored. Before the patient falls asleep, the sleep technologist will fit the patient with the CPAP mask and make sure it is comfortable for the patient. PSG CPAP In some cases, both diagnosis and treatment of a breathing problem while sleeping can be accomplished in a single night's study, rather than two separate studies. As with the polysomnogram (PSG), sensors measure the patient's brain waves, eye movements, muscle tone, breathing patterns and blood oxygen levels. Once asleep, the technologist carefully monitors the sleep diagnostic equipment for any sign of disrupted breathing during sleep. If interruptions in the patient's breathing (known as sleep apnea) are observed, the technologist will apply CAP during the second half of the sleep study. Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT)/Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) Patients who experience excessive daytime sleepiness or who fall asleep at inappropriate times may be referred by their physician to a sleep center for an MSLT or MWT. The MSLT is designed to measure how long it takes a person to fall asleep during the course of a day. The MWT tests a person's ability to stay awake for a designated period of time, usually 20 minutes. The MSLT is conducted on the day following an overnight polysomnogram (PSG). Some of the sensors applied to the skin for the PSG will be removed, while others remain to record sleep latency (the number of minutes required to fall asleep). The test consists of five 20-minute nap recordings scheduled 2 hours apart, the first of which is done two hours after waking from the PSG. During these naps a sleep technologist monitors the patient's sleep/wake patterns. The MSLT takes an entire day to administer, and is usually completed before 7:00 p.m. The MWT measures the ability of a person to resist sleep when instructed to remain awake for 20 minutes. It may be done following an overnight polysomnogram (PSG), but doesn't necessarily have to follow a PSG. It is a daytime study which usually begins two hours after the normal rise time of the patient and uses sensors on the skin to monitor patients. Similar to the MSLT, the MWT involves a series of 4-5 naps conducted at 2-hour intervals throughout the day. Back to top

A whisky-bottling station was seen in Le Comptoir de Carteret (the website of which, LeComptoirDeCarteret.fr, seems not to be working), 10 rue de Paris 50270 Barneville-Carteret, +33 2 33 53 81 07. (This shop also sold Port.)
The shop-keeper said that such bottling is about to become illegal — all whisky subsequently being bottled in Scotland.

Fellow Denver Reason user and blogger DJ Mad Wax and I attended the Robert Henke/Monolake concert last night at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. It was a neat evening with intriguing sounds provided by Robert Henke and visuals provided by a local "space doctor," as he was called, running the planetarium controls (if anyone can provide me with his name, please do, I'd like to credit the fine work he did).
The event was heavily attended by visual arts and music students from DU and CU, as well as a huge collection of folks from the local Ableton Live Users Group, so the crowd definitely skewed towards "geeky." In a lot of ways, I think the make-up of the crowd added another layer to the evening, as many folks were interested in the experience as well as the methods.
This got me thinking back to an older "project" of mine that I dreamed up around the same time I started this blog and that's forming a local Reason Users Group. It might be nice to meet up from time to time, grab a cup of coffee or a beer, swap some ideas, and if we're lucky, inspire each other a little. Any readers from Reason Patch A Day interested in joining the Rocky Mountain Reason Users Group? Let me know in the comments or via email at patchaday (at) earthlink (dot) net.

Taylor Swift Surprises Fan at Los Angeles Children's Hospital [PHOTOS]
It's no secret that Taylor Swift is a charitable celebrity who loves to surprise her fans. This week she once again let her generosity and caring shine by visiting some of her biggest fans at a children's hospital.
According to the Facebook group 'Stay Fearless Khloe,' five-year-old Khloe, a huge Swiftie, is courageously battling cancer. Her family is tracking her brave journey on social media, tagging each post with the hash tags 'StayFearlessKhloe' and 'FaithFamilyandTaylorSwift,' as encouragement to the little girl and to show how much Taylor's music means to Khloe during this time.
Taylor decided to pay a visit after learning about Khloe's battle and her status as major fan. Khloe looks overjoyed in the photos of the 'Red' singer visiting the Los Angeles hospital, her smile big and bright in an especially heartwarming picture of the two of them holding a sign that reads, "Today I broke up with my tumor and we are never, ever getting back together!"
This isn't the first visit Taylor has made to a children's hospital — or even the second, third, or fourth — but you won't hear her bragging about it to PR any time soon. The look on Khloe's face seems like all the encouragement she needs to keep up the acts of kindness.
Take a look below to see more of the sweet photos from that day.

Well, let me tell you something, brother!
Hulk Hogan is back. The great desire of his fans who chanted "One more match!" as he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on April 2 at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles is coming true.
Hogan returns to the ring Sunday night in the WWE's pay-per-view Backlash, when he teams with fellow icon Shawn Michaels - a pair of true red, white and blue patriots - against Muhammad Hassan and Daivari - whose gimmick is that they're Americans who have been discriminated against since 9-11 because of their skin colour and religion.
It will be the Hulkster's first match in nearly two years and the first time he'll test out a hip replacement in serious competition. Hogan admitted earlier this week that his comeback is clearly a case of the fans getting what they want.
Hulkamania lives on.
"The retro era is in," said the still-chiselled 51-year-old during a conference call from Los Angeles. "Aerosmith and the Rolling Stones are popular again. The training, the vitamins, the prayers are back in. My T-shirts are selling faster than anybody's.
"It blew my mind when Sylvester Stallone inducted me into the Hall of Fame and the cheering from the crowd lasted 21 minutes. I couldn't believe how loyal and receptive they were. It showed me that my career really meant something to people.
"Everywhere I go, people tell me Hulk is a great character and a great wrestler. I can never walk out and be called (actual name) Terry Bollea."
The Hulkster won his first WWE title in 1984, held it for an unprecedented four-year run and carried the torch for the company until 1993 when he left for the rival World Championship Wrestling owned by media mogul Ted Turner.
As a first-time heel (bad guy) character, Hogan led the New World Order regime within the WCW for five years and won the heavyweight crown six times until the company self-destructed and was eventually bought out by the WWE.
He came back to Vince McMahon's WWE in 2002 and has seen spot duty that included one more title reign and his first tag-team championship.
Hogan's wrestling days are running out. The amount of scar tissue and cartilage damage is so severe that his patented leg-drop finish is more painful for him than the opponent.
An ultimate conclusion to his grappling career would be a contest against "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, another legendary ring character.
Some day down the road, Hogan expects to be joined in the WWE's Hall of Fame by another big name, Bret "the Hitman" Hart.
"He was a major impact player," said Hogan of Calgary's favourite son. "He took the ball when I moved on and carried it like no other wrestler. He was huge for the business."
These days, Hogan isn't driven to perform in front of thousands of delirious fans - at least not a live crowd. He's hoping the upcoming VH-1 reality show Hogan Knows Best becomes a big hit after its debut in July.
Hulk is trying to live up to his devoted dad role, sitting in a music studio till the wee hours of the morning last week while his statuesque daughter, Brooke, laid down several tracks for her forthcoming CD.
"It's the total opposite of The Osbournes," said Hogan. "My wife runs a tight ship. There's girls calling my son 10 times a day and I won't let my daughter date because she's only 16 and it's different for girls."
As any good dad would, Hogan expects both of his kids to become big stars.
"In the (entertainment) business, you either have it or you don't," said Hogan.
"When Brooke's first single came out, it went to No. 1 on Billboard. I went on the road with her, whether I was sitting on bags of fertilizer at Wal-Mart in front of 30 people, or whether it was an outdoor show in front of 30,000.
"She's already got the stage presence. I guess I can put that down to something in her genes.
"My son Nick is only 15. He's already six-foot and he's getting the (wrestling) itch. If he comes in under my wing, it'll be a huge shortcut and he'll probably take some heat for it, but I can't wait to see how the crowd reacts when he does a run-in and saves his old man. I guarantee when he hits the ring, the fans are going to blow up on him."

For all web developers and designers, Internet Explorer 8 support is likely the least enjoyable part of your work, and it's unlikely to go away any time soon. As much as Microsoft would like for everyone to upgrade to Windows 8 this fall, the simple truth is that many home and school PCs are still running Windows XP. These systems are for the most part under powered to run Windows 7, and may have software that is incompatible with the newer versions of Windows. After all, from XP there is Vista, 7, and very soon, Windows 8. Just think about all the driver incompatibilities introduced by each successive operating system upgrade.
For large organizations, such as academic institutions, an en masse upgrade from XP is unlikely, not only for the hardware and licensing costs, but also through the IT management work required to vet any software upgrades. The upgrades happen, albeit slowly. There just isn't a compelling enough reason to upgrade.
Why doesn't Microsoft just upgrade the version of Internet Explorer running on XP? Why can't they put IE 9, and soon IE 10, on their older operating system? The latest versions of Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Apple's Safari are all available for Windows XP.
But all those browsers are cross-platform, one might argue. They don't have the deep integration with the operating system, like IE has. So what? Why should that matter? Safari is a web browser installed by default with Mac OS X, which presumably has as much opportunity for deep OS integration as IE. Apple took a different route. Rather than seeking deep integration with the OS, Apple open sourced the WebKit rendering engine, which is now not only used by Google Chrome, but also in most smartphone browsers as well, including those of BlackBerry, Android, and iOS.
One could argue that this kind of entrenchment, where Microsoft is unwilling or unable to upgrade the browser in earlier versions of Windows, is exactly the kind of problems the Department of Justice antitrust case should have solved. Certainly, the arguments raised by Microsoft suggested that the operating system was strongly coupled with the web browser, such that they could not be separated. But the antitrust trial focused on competitor access to Microsoft APIs. If the sanctions against Microsoft had been stronger, we might have seen IE9 on Windows XP today.
Microsoft is clearly capable of writing a rendering engine separate from the OS. From 1998 to 2003, Microsoft released versions of Internet Explorer for the Mac, dropping support in December of 2005. These versions were supported on Mac OS 7, the "Classic" OS, through to OS X Tiger, and supported two different system architectures, the old Motorola 68k systems, as well as the PPC systems. They have experience in writing cross-platform rendering engines, but clearly feel hat one closely tied to a particular operating system version is somehow beneficial.
How exactly does a tightly coupled system help them? It could be an added enticement to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, but if so, it's not really very effective. Perhaps it makes development easier? I fail to see how that might be the case. Other browsers seem to have no problems with a more portable architecture, so unless Microsoft is making extensive use of internal APIs again (once again, reference the antitrust suit),I fail to see how this makes sense.
One of the most convincing arguments is that it could cut the number of possible OS/browser configurations for testing, either internally, or by organizations with more extensive upgrade trials. Supporting IE9 on Windows XP would need extensive testing not inly of the browser itself, but all the different extensions and integrations, all on an operating system that is several generations old. After all, XP is in extended support mode, with that final stage set to expire in April 2014. Spending large amounts of money on testing IE9 support on Windows XP clearly isn't in Microsoft's best interests.
So where does that leave web developers today? Are we doomed to support IE until 2014? Sadly, I suspect it will live on longer, the browser zombie of the net. Aside from promoting the use of Firefox or Chrome on Windows XP, there is little we can do. Like classic Romero zombies, it's not going anywhere very fast.

The legend of Zelda and Zoe
It makes me sad to think of how most of my daily childhood treasures have probably ended up in a trash heap somewhere. Well, I'm not the only sad one; think of the Toy Story franchise. But it's sad nonetheless. Whatever happened, for instance, to my Communist Barbie? Someone had to play Miss U.S.S.R. in our makeshift Miss Universe pageants in the basement playroom. So I cut off her matted blonde hair into a spiky do, and Barbie became a breadline-hardened Brigitte Nielsen that always came second to Miss U.S.A. I can pretend she's keeping other similarly-shorn, well-loved Barbies, Kens, and Skippers company in a cozy daycare somewhere, but, more likely, no claw ever could save her from the fires that awaited.
As you can tell by my lack of respect for Barbie's golden locks, I didn't have the most girly of girlhoods. I slept in a yellow bedroom, and wore red and gold Danskin playsets to nursery school, or plaid kilts. My mother didn't care much for pink, or princesses, which is fair enough. She also wasn't that sentimental about things, nor did she ever imagine that these toys that she eventually tossed had hearts and feelings of their own. A wise lesson for a harsh world. I tried to take that lesson on, but I still can't ever throw out a piece of paper with my mother's handwriting on it, no matter how many school worksheets of mine would have been recycled, if recycling had been a thing when I was in school.
Now, as I fill acid-free boxes upon boxes with my son's kindergarten scribbles, I realize I have to relegate some to the great recycling bin in the sky, if I don't want to appear on an episode of Hoarders. And I understand my mother's drive to declutter; I can hardly see clear to the end of a day if I need to wade past piles of kid stuff to get there.
So the best drawings get kept, and the coloring sheets and letter practice go. I wonder which of my boys' possessions will still be here when we are all older? I have a few ideas (a scruffy teddy bear, a huge bin of Legos no one will ever make sense of again, a tattered copy of Captain Underpants).
My two boys like to get fawning attention by kissing the odd baby doll, and cruise each other toward bruisin's in a doll stroller I bought them, but they are really not interested in inheriting mine. Though Communist Barbie got tossed just as the Berlin Wall came down, my childhood baby doll Zelda is still around, and she's found a new home: with my sister's daughter, one-year-old Zoe. It was meant to be! The two Z's, Zelda and Zoe, zestily zipping together to Zanzibar, or Zagreb, or somewhere. New Zealand.
My parents gave me Zelda when I was a baby. She wasn't fluffy, or pink: she had a hard plastic head and arms, yellow hay-like hair, and a red and white dress. And I schlepped her around the house dutifully like many a baby would. And now, Zoe sweetly does the same. Zoe and Zelda.
I asked my mother why she named my doll Zelda. Surely that name wasn't on the box. I though maybe because she wasn't the daintiest of baby dolls, or looked slightly witch-like, that the name fit. It was too soon to name her after The Legend of Zelda, the videogame, so that wasn't it.
"We decided that we were going to start at the end of the alphabet," my mom said. "So I thought of Zelda. There was that girl, Zelda, on Dobie Gillis, I think I got the name from her. Zelda was always the smarty-pants in the gang." My only other association with the early 1960's TV show, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, is that Gilligan was on it, as the beatnik Maynard G. Krebs. But the show was cancelled long before I was born. Long, I repeat, before.
I appreciate that my mom chose to name my doll after a "smarty-pants," and not some gooey, helpless, princess type. Thanks to Zelda, and my mother, I consider myself a smarty-pants to this day. It's not a bad way to be. Because Wikipedia was invented for such smarty-pants who need answers fast, I decided to look up what happened to the original Zelda, the actress Sheila Kuehl.
It turns out she went to Harvard Law School and became the first openly gay person elected to the California legislature! Way to carry the flag for the smarty-pants of the world, Sheila Kuehl!
I am glad that my Zelda, saved from the fire, is now with my little Zoe. And hopefully, starting with Zelda and her raggedy endurance, I can pass onto Zoe all the things I learned since the doll was my own: to start with the back of the alphabet, go your own way, be a smarty-pants, and take care of what's important, what's your own. Especially, future Zoe, your poor old aunt. Will you take future me to the library and the diner when my future sons have forgotten to call? Please, future Zoe?

Hey everyone,
Finally I have finished this one, it took a while to finish since I have been also working on another painting as well.
I got inspired to paint this image after looking at many beautiful images of clothing designs from India. The patterns and jewelry took a lot of time but I enjoyed painting them. My own story for this image is that she is a young bride to be who is trapped in an arranged marriage and secretly desires another life. Her name is Akanksha which means desire.
Painted mostly in Photoshop with some extra work done in Painter.
Here is a close-up as well.
Thanks for your visit :)

New oil painting titled "Mt. Umunhum"Posted by Unknown
Hey everyone,
Today I decided to paint a bit in oils so I painted a section of hills from the view of my balcony. The focal point of this image as you can see is that strange little building on the hill in the background. I decided to paint it since I find it so fascinating, It's one of the most interesting structures on these hills. This building is an old government radar site that had been abandoned. I wish I could go check it out but it's highly contaminated and not open to the public. I recently found this youtube video about the building which is pretty interesting. Here is a link if interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kieSuWnhiu8
Thanks for visiting, :)

Pininfarina B0 production schedule slips
Well sorted for lithium, though
'Leccy Tech The Pininfarina B0 – that's B 'zero', not B 'oh' – may be a few months late. The word from Pininfarina HQ in Cambiano, Italy is that the start of B0 production is now "scheduled for late 2009/early 2010" rather then being a dead cert for the end of next year.
First shown at the Paris Motor Show, the B0 certainly sits on Register Hardware's list of electric cars we could actually see ourselves buying. Unlike many motor show specials, it's said to be more or less production ready.
Pininfarina's B0
Developed as a joint venture between Pininfarina and French industrial group Bolloré SA, the B0 will be powered by Bolloré's lithium-polymer LMP batteries, which are described as "revolutionary" - though no details are available to explain exactly what makes them so.
Without giving away any interesting technical details, Pininfarina-Bolloré claim the B0's battery has a rating of 30kWh, a peak power output of 45kW for 30 seconds and an effective range of 250km (153 miles). The battery will be rechargeable in a "matter of hours" from a standard domestic wall socket.
The battery pack will also be able to draw power from the regenerative braking system and from solar panels in the bonnet, fascia and roof.
Top speed is electronically limited to 130km/h (80mph) while the 0 to 60km/h (37mph) dash takes 6.3 seconds.
Solar panel included
Bolloré clearly have high hopes of leccy cars because in September it made it known that it was negotiating a long-term agreement for the supply of lithium with the Bolivian government which is in turn setting up a lithium extraction facility on the world's largest salt flats - the 4,000 square mile Salar de Uyuni - in the southern province of Potosí.
It may be too early to call lithium the new oil, but its price has leaped from around $350 a tonne in 2003 to nearly $3000 today so getting in on the ground level may be a good idea for anyone who sees lithium-ion car batteries taking off in a big way. Around 70 per cent of world's known lithium deposits are in the fossilised salt lakes of Argentina, Chile and Bolivia.
No word on price yet or if Pininfarina will be go down the 'buy the car, lease the battery pack' route that seems to be gaining traction at the moment.

Looking for Clark of Georgia/South Carolina
I am looking for any information regarding the Clark Famliy from Liberty County Georgia. I cannot get past the James Clark who may have born February 11, 1788 but I do not think he was born in Georgia, possibly South Carolina. He and his wife Ann Horne moved to Georgia around 1813 to Long County (formerly McIntosh County). They were married in Beaufort, South Carolina. They moved to Bryan County, GA around 1821 and then to Libery County in 1838 where he purchase several parcels of land. He served in the War of 1812 for a brief period of time. Signed on at Beard's Bluff on the Altamaha River and was discharged in Riceboro, GA.
He had a son named James Benjamin Clark who was born in Bryan County Ga 1828 who had a son named James Clark born 1861. He had a son named Benjamin Hudson Clark who was born 1892 who had a son named James Benjamin Clark born 1922. Benjamin Hudson Clark and his son James Benjamin Clark were born in Fleming, Liberty County, GA.

Wearing: Vintage Jumpsuit (from Screaming Mimi's) – Similar | Topshop Vest | MinkPink Sweater – Similar | Yigal Azrouel Coat | Schutz Shoes | Heather Belle Co. Infinity Necklace
In this lesson of layering, we focus on simplicity and minimalistic changes. Step 1: a sophisticated vintage black jumpsuit, also very versatile (modern version here). Adding on a chunky knit for added warmth, step 2 calls for casual comfort. In step 3 we are taking this look out and about, needing to spice things up a bit with this structured white leather vest (that can be found in stores and Topshop of H&M trend if you're lucky). Last but not least, it's freaking cold outside so bundle up in your winter coat and throw on a beanie to complete the look. Lesson in layering, complete.

Philadelphia - Team Exergy rider Fred Rodriguez continued his amazing comeback with a podium finish at Sunday's TD Bank Philadelphia International Championship, the highest-ranked one-day road race in America. Rodriguez, a three-time US Pro Champion who came out of retirement last year, last won the Philadelphia race back in 2001. Eleven years later, Fast Freddie nearly did it again, sprinting to second place on his Felt F1 team bike.
The Exergy team rode a solid tactical race, putting men in all the early breaks. After several larger early breaks, Andres Miguel Diaz was one of three survivors at the front as the race entered the final finishing circuits between Lemon Hill and Logan Hill. The 2012 edition of the race, which has been going since 1985, was shortened to 199.8km.
Diaz and two others made it to the last of the finishing circuits before the main field finally caught them. Rodriguez, who is 38 this year and trying to make the U.S. team for the London Olympics, put himself in position to win but was just edged out by Russian Aleksandr Serebryakov.
"I picked the left side and I just came up to a wall of Team Type 1 guys," Rodriguez told Cyclingnews.com. "I had nowhere to pass so I basically snuck by bike in between them."
For Rodriguez, the only previous winner of the race, the podium finish was another remarkable result in his return to pro racing.

At the end of the second game, Coach Lou Gianacopolos waved to get his setter's attention and motioned to the net. "Did you see that?" he asked, and Alex Zajda shook his head.
To fans in the Southing-ton gym, it looked like Glastonbury was just one game from sweeping the season series. Those fans would have been wrong.
Southington was just getting started.
"This team never doubts itself," said the coach. "We've been down, 11-0. We've been down, 2-0, in a match, and we've come back to win. We knew that this match would be very close."
Trailing 2-0 in the best-of-five series, the Knights began to battle back. they won by three in the second game. They won by eight to force a fifth game.
Zajda marshaled the offense with 53 assists to nine different players at the net. He set up outside hitters and countered with quick sets to the middles. Glastonbury scrambled to meet the torrid attack, and momentum shifted to the Knights.
We saw what was successful—our outsides on a quick set, not giving their middles time to go out and block. We recognized that, and as soon as we were able to execute, we were able to free up the middles," Gianacopolos said. "You've got to set the outsides and establish the middle. That frees up everybody."
Nick Powell (18 kills) and Chris Sherwill (14 kills) combined for 79 attacks on the outside. Alex Borofsky (8 kills) and Jeff Kolb (8 kills) combined for 39 attacks in the middle.
For the second time this season, the Knights battled back from an 0-2 deficit to force a fifth contest. The Knights rallied to a 9-5 lead in the final contest to force a Glastonbury timeout.
"This was our first playoff game of the year. That's exactly what this was to us," said the coach. "We went in with the mentality that once we lose then we're out. That was the urgency that we had in this game today."
In the previous meeting between the schools, Glastonbury battled back from a 9-5 deficit to win the fifth contest. This time, Southington held them off.
Southington had three opportunities to serve for match point and won it on their third attempt, 15-11. With the victory, the Knights grabbed a share of the conference title. Both Glastonbury and Southing-ton finished with 7-1 records.
"It's our first season—the conference title," said Gianacopolos. "Now that season's over, so we have to prepare for our next season—the postseason."
Southington carried the momentum into wins over Simsbury and East Hartford to clinch the No. 4 seed in the upcoming Class L championships.
Against Simsbury, Zajda distributed 18 assists in the first games and Peter Masters distributed 11 assists down the stretch as the Knights swept past the Trojans, 25-18, 25-18, 25-20.
Southington shuffled 16 players into the lineup. Borofsky and Powell had six kills apiece. Dan Connolly anchored the defense with five digs.
Against East Hartford, the Knights cruised to a 3-0 win. Zajda collected 31 assists. Kevin Casserino went 13-for-15 from the line with six digs. Powell had 15 kills. Borofsky had seven kills, and the Knights earned their 11th sweep of the season, 25-19, 25-8, 25-15.
Now, Southington (16-2) will host Danbury (8-9) in the first round for a chance to host the winner of Fairfield Warde (15-3) and East Hartford (10-8) in the quarterfinals before turning to neutral courts.
Southington could face No. 1 Glastonbury again in the semifinals.
