A Little More Fall
Getting ready for the fall and holiday season, I went into task mode this past weekend. We had our carpets deep cleaned throughout the whole house and I cleaned the rest of the house like a mad woman with a bucket and a scrub brush. It felt good to get all of this done. Finally, I decided a little shopping therapy and decorating was in order. I fell in love with some of the natural fall decor at Pier One and a couple of items jumped into my basket. Back home, it didn't take long to gather other fall goodies and layer the entry table with color and texture.
The chalkboard came to mind, I got it out of storage and decorated it with a mini banner made out of fabric strips and some of the cute acorns I picked up at Pier One.
I purchased this fall fabric at Hancock Fabric a while back, thinking I might make a table topper or napkins for one of my seasonal tablescapes. I bet I won't miss the couple of strips it took to create this mini banner.
Cut and rip, super easy to make the strips.
My strips might have turned out just a bit too long, but that's okay. That's what I love about fall decor…it's so forgiving.
Aren't those little pine cone tipped acorns cute ? Fall is so much fun!! So far I've decorated the front door and the entry way, next up the front porch…stay tuned!
As always, thank you for visiting!

Twenty-two million adults in the UK used Internet banking on their main current account in 2009, according to UK Payments Administration. Most people use it to check their account balances and statements. The websites are secure and operated by the financial institutions. Here are the advantages and disadvantages in comparison with traditional methods.

Better Rates
Interest rates on Internet current accounts can be higher because Internet-based operations have cheaper running costs. But this is not always the case, so it pays to shop around. Thisismoney.co.uk provides a comparison of interest rates on Internet-based accounts. As of June 2010, ING Direct Savings offers the highest rate at 2.75 per cent. Skipton Websaver 2 offers the lowest rate at 2 per cent. Thisismoney.co.uk advises customers to be wary of "suspiciously high" interest rates. They may be set high temporarily to attract customers and then dropped. Or they may indicate a risky business model.
Internet banking allows you flexibility. You can log in to your personal account at any time of the day or night--including bank holidays--from any computer connected to the Internet. You also no longer need to travel to your bank or queue for service when you get there.
Many online banks let you offset your mortgage or other borrowings against your current or savings account. This lowers the interest you pay on your mortgage.
Although the risk of falling victim to Internet-based fraud is low, UK Payments Administration advises you take steps to guard against it. Keep your login details and passwords safe and secure. Do not be taken in by criminals phoning or emailing you pretending to be your bank. Do not tell them your login details or password. Also do not be fooled by emails pretending to be from your bank containing a hyperlink inviting you to log in. The link leads you to a bogus website, and when you log in you inadvertently give away your username and password.

102 thoughts on "5 reasons to vote Russel + get more muscle in Mt Albert"
Shining light on how tprivate transport opertors can do it for themselves is the Bluebridge operation across Cook Straight.
They have their second RORO ship, both ships are larger then the existing state rail ferries.
Single track is no problem, just requires better signallig and computer control to allow trains to run closer together. Requires signalling stations every 2 to 5 kilometres.
Underthe current RMA you would be having a huge legal fight to straighten the rail tracks by any great degree. For a starter there should be a an easement over/under transmission gully for road and rail.
Any time soon? Nah.
Trains can go faster on the existing alignmet but it needs upgraded track, ties, fastenings, road bed and longer (narrow angled) high speed turnouts PLUS rolling stock and locomotives to handle the higher speed.
Not to mention upgraded signalling systems. Couple of extra passing loops and you have a modern train system.
Subsidies only keep the status quo, You wont get upgrades required to improve the facilities.
Noticed that for the new passenger lines in Sydney the state train operators use privately owned trainsets that they lease.
Saves an investment cost of 2 to 3 billion dollars. That is repaid over the lifspan of the trainsets and paid for by fares (hopefully).
Not sure I agree entirely.
I have no insight into the number of and viability of the potential private train operators here in NZ. I know of no private train operators making a $ on passenger traffic. Some succeed with freight. I would expect scheduling difficulty with the amount of single tracking as well. Maybe it would work. A state run rail system can also work and does in many places.
OTOH, it is pretty clear that Cullen bought high after whoever sold it sold low. Reminds me of how someone in GB unloaded tons of gold reserves at the lowest price seen since Nixon took the US off the gold standard.
My old Austrian Aunt had a saying "Too clever is dumb" . The arguments for state vs private ownership haven't changed much in the past century. On the evidence both are capable of working and both are capable of failing.
The one thing that is incapable of working no matter how clever we are, is thrashing the system by alternately selling and buying based on the outcome of the last election. (That's thrashing in the computer science sense of the word – simply – A processor that switches between tasks so often that it spends more time switching than performing tasks).
At this point it needs to be kept and kept running. I get to subsidize the bits that annoy me as well as the bits I like. I accept that. The route could be straightened out a bit and the trains sped up, but it is NOT reasonable to sell it off again.
Simple, Cullen should have offered a token $1 and said take it or leave it. Toll would have had no alternative but to close down the run down operation.
Remembering that the agreement with Toll was to allow COMPETITION on the state owned rail system if volumes dropped below a certain percentage.
At that stage the state should have simply opened up the rail system to any private train operator (and there were any number ready to do that).
That way we would have real competition on the state owned steel roads.
Just like the tarsealed roads.
But no, Cullen got soft and sold the rail system for a huge, over the top amount. Paid much more then the the value.
A huge mistake.
Thank goodness I'm a Toll shareholder. Kept those dividends flowing.
So no, the alternative was not to pay Toll subsidies, the REAL workable and BEST alternative was to open up the steel roads to private operators, willing top pay for the use of the state owned steel roads, using thier own train sets.
Shunda…. please let me know what the alternative was to buying back the trains? Paying Toll millions and millions a year in subsidies?
# Shunda barunda Says:
June 14th, 2009 at 7:32 pm> Labore went on a lovely spending spree before the election,
mostly they just promised to spend money on lots of things after the election (eg. new roads, Kiwisaver subsidies). When National got in, they could have reversed these spending commitments, but in most cases they decided not to.
> and managed to hide a nice wee billion dollar balls up with ACC to boot.
ACC lost money because it had money invested in shares overseas. every private insurance company lost money at the end of last year for the same reason.

I'd like to know more about this claim – I'm not sure what it's referring to
'honest john' key has somewhat of a hollow ring now..
wot with all those (now broken) hollow pre-election promises..
..i think a lot of those swing voters who voted for 'honest john'
..on the strength of those (now broken) pre-election promises..
(..tax cuts?/'closing the wage gap with australia'..?..anyone..?..)
..they are just waking up to the fact that he/key well and truly conned them..
..maybe 'dishonest john' would be more accurate/'statement of fact'..?
..big bro..?..
did you see melissa lee today..?
Big Bro – Roger 'Pig Torturer' Douglas should sit ok with you then?
i'll give odds of three to one coleman was a prefect..
..he has a way of looking at people..
..that just screams..'i think you are an insignificant piece of sh*t..
..and i am going to send you to the headmaster..'
..he needs media training..at the very least..
..so he can at least pretend..
..he cares the person he's talking to will continue to breath..
Nothing spiteful about the titles I have given to those Green MP's Fly, they are all a statement of fact.
i quite like 'bellowing boscowan'..
..it's nowhere near as nasty as 'mad cath'..
..and kinda true..
Big Bro – Coleman is to 'a little arrogant' as Boscawen is to 'a little clenched', but let's not call him Boscawen, let's adopt your modus operandi and give him a demeaning title…will "Ramrod Boscawen" do? It hasn't the spitefulness that you convey with your 'Mad Cath" or "Comrad Keith" and now "Red Russ", but give me time. I'll come up with something.
I agree that Coleman did come across as a little arrogant however Coleman is nowhere near as arrogant as Red Russ.
Comrade Norman is the height of arrogance (and hypocrisy) and that is why the voters of Mt Albert did not support him, I guess the people of that electorate dislike the idea of being forced onto smelly, unreliable and unsafe public transport as much as the rest of NZ.Somehow I suspect you refuse to admit it.
Shunda – when you hear yourself saying,
"Now let me get this straight"
a small but insistant alarm bell should begin to ring in your head.
Your "getting things straight" seems to produce thinking that is as linear as the scar on Harry Potter's forehead! -
Didn't say I wanted to have his babies Shunda, just that I don't have a visceral reaction to his voice and visage, like I do with Key et al.
Why do you scoff at Goff? -
StephenR – I like to try to 'read the person' with politicians, as I link the ideas they hold to their personalities. My reaction to Coleman (I'd not taken note of him before) came from the gut – and it began to churn. I feel the same way about Key. And Joyce. And Collins. On the other hand, I don't get that reaction with Cunnliffe or Parker of Goff, yet I'm not a Labour supporter. Curious.
Ah. Yeah well you expect someone to defend their party's result, so I don't really care. On the stuff that mattered in the interview – immigration – he seems pretty sound.
With regard immigration, no. Over Mt Albert, his arrogance was flaring like a baboon's blue bum. His attempts to cover Key's absence on election night and abandonment of his hand-picked candidate was as smarmy as it comes.
Ravi Musuku got 9,806 in November. Lee got 3,426. Yikes.
You had a problem with anything he said greenfly?
Jonathon Coleman on Q&A – Good God! What a tool!
Lee was hopeless. Clearly the joke card, and difficult to see her ever recovering.
Still bet Norman.
I thought Norman would do better, but who else were National party voters going to vote for?
Might pay to compare the past few elections, but hopefully someone less lazy than me will beat me to it.
Lee was hopeless. Clearly the joke card, and difficult to see her ever recovering.
Still bet Norman.
BP, you should change that to "so most of the [National leaning part of] the electorate couldn't be bothered showing up, which is hardly surprising [as they couldn't bear the thought of voting for such a numpty like Lee]."
Did they serve lamingtons at the Act after-party, Peter?
So most of the electorate couldn't be bothered showing up, which is hardly surprising. When asked to choose between differing shades of grey, Mt Albert went to the pub instead…..
Guys, have you ever considered getting off the net for a while & watching a movie?
Lol, I managed to catch Mt Albert updates and see one of Judi Dench's finer performances, alongside the luminous Cate Blanchet (who has played two of my favourite witches of all time) – there's enough McGuffins for ya, back on topic:
Well done the Green campaign team, a 6% or so rise on the '08 figures, which appears to have come directly from National/Act's vote share; can't really be sorry about that part of the result.
I'm sure a few Aucklanders might have been sorry that Russ isn't gonna move back any time soon – but we'll be glad to keep him, enhanced public profile'n'all, down in Wellington.The past week has been a beautiful exercise of our two youthful co-leaders in action, and a fore-taste of what the campaign teams will have to plan for in 2011 for the next General Election … bring it on!
Congrat's to David Shearer's team, it was a red-badged electorate for two decades; it'll be hard for him to put his own personal stamp on the locality, but I'm sure the local electorate branch will be as supportive after the election as they have been during it.
Once the win sinks in, the challenge is to get to work on the mundanities of 'what the people want', as evidenced in weekly clinic attendance, of which Morningside/Kingsland/Mt Eden/Mt Albert locals are proficient.
A change of pace from UN missions, but probably a welcome one for this new MP. -
Greenfly croaks, once again:
Key's no-show at Mt Albert is rude and un-gentlemanly.
Shunda – your fears about the influence of 'some of the current leadership' are ill-founded. The Greens are a party that has excellent checks and balances, that decides issues by consensus and has MPs whose relationships with each other are excellent. You seem to carry unrealistic views about many things Green. Were you frightened by a large frog when you were young?
Perhaps the Greens haven't done as well as expected, but Russel's share of the electorate vote is still up on the 2008 election fairly significantly.
Show people that you can compromise and be dedicated to a steady transition
You'll be supportive of the MOE with National then Shunda and the resulting Home Insulation success.
You said: If the greens had their way our societey would be all torn up with nothing to replace it with
and it seems such a stupid comment. You don't really think that, do you? -
Go give Boscawen a cuddle Bro!
Oh dear!
What happened to Russ the Muss?
All that hope that once again Labour people would do he "right" thing and vote for Russ and all that happened was that Labour kicked you in the face AGAIN.
It really was monumentally stupid to hitch your flag to their mast at the last general election and now that the lovely Granny is to step down it does not bode well for the future of the Greens does it.
Oh dear, how sad, never mind.
Shunda – so much in common 🙂
You'd like to see the Greens become the party of moderation
Do expand! A more moderate approach to water quality? Fisheries? Transport? Research and Development? Law and Order? Everything?I'm pasting this I WILL VOTE FOR YOU from you and will keep you to it in 2011 🙂
Shunda/Peter – fair to say that the National/Act factions got a whupping in Mt Albert? Yes, I believe that would be fair to say. Shunda, you'll be fascinated by United Future's result – what's wrong with people in this country. Did the Greens increase their % from the General election? I believe they did! Did National? Oops!
2,418 people in Mt Albert are expressing their confidence in Russel at this point. Well done those people!
Election results here.
Russel currently 800 votes behind Lee with around 90% counted. So looks like he'll struggle to catch her. Pity.
If you pass by someone dressed in pink, thickly sprinkled with dessicated coconut … pass on my sympathies.
well i've glued a foot thick autmn leaves on; am heading up to Mt Albert – Do the "Rustle"…
The claim that New Zealand's clean air kills 1,000 people a year is sheer chicanery.
Read the report and you will that each claim contains massive error terms..
IT projects "premature deaths" but you will hunt to find how premature the deaths are.
Are these people dying one minute earlier, an hour, or a year?The modelling was based on a miniscule number of data points and a European model. There was no ground proofing.
It was junk science at its worst. This is why Government needs a science advisor to prevent this sort of rubbish taking hold and diverting us from the real issues.Remember the 5,000 contaminated house sites in Auckland? That two was based on junk science. The actual number proved to be six. Not six thousand – six.
Rowdy – should have thought of it sooner; Rowdy Russell – just do it!
Russ is fiesty! I like that.
I'm hoping Metiria will release her hounds soon 🙂
No place for shrinking violets, the New Greens (with their Green New Deal and all!) -
i don't get that he has a great groundswell there….Russ the Mus will leave the Greens 7.62 (?) Rating to history – that'd be a harbinger hey?
Of course – it's in the lap of the god..sakes I hope Boscawen doesn't take it as a result of the lamington!
Thar Fly;
Votes can be odd in one-off shows – forsoft, there lies a kiwi
the sympathy, empathy vote; did you see what Lewinsky did for Clinton?
75% aprroval rating –
Melissa ? – she could get a sheer third of the number…no odds offered here though… -
Mark – while you were there, did you see a plot marked with the legend,
'Here Lie the Chances of Melissa Lee – Dead and Buried' ?
(the zombie you may have seen lurching about in the shadows would have been Boscawen)
ahhh…just completed a tour of Mt Albert's cemeteries….now it's off to the Polling Booths – who says there's no life after death?
wat – presumably you would have no party say
# Aucklanders want to swim in clean water at their beaches and breathe clean air."
when it seems to me a truism. You challenge the Greens for making statements like that, by saying that costings must be provided. You appear to be averse to visionary statements (that's ridiculous – show us the money) How prosaic you are, how lacking in ..vision!
It's not just a question of how much money is spent, it's a question of how efficiently you spend it.
Yes and that comes back to cost-benefit ratios right? How much "bang" you get for your buck.
Surely if you get more benefit from one $1.4 billion project than another then you should consider doing that first one. The Greens New Deal outlines the huge number of additional jobs created by investment in public transport rather than investment in roads (which surely makes public transport investment a bit more attractive in the short term). In the longer term you have climate change and peak oil issues that would also point towards public transport being a more efficient, effective and beneficial use of transport funds.
Regarding cleaner air, New Zealand's dirty air kills about 1100 people a year. What's the economic cost of that? Surely significant I would imagine. Regarding clean beaches, that's a major part of our international tourist image I would think – plus dirty beaches (in the form of sweage overflows) would have a significant health effect itself.
wat dabney Says:
June 13th, 2009 at 10:56 am> The point I was making, until greenfly started fixating on cycleways, is that there is a tradeoff with everything. Promising cleaner air and cleaner beaches will have a cost, yet the Greens (like all the others) don't tell us what it will be. Will they take the money from the education budget? The healthcare budget?
from the motorway budget, in this particular case
– "You ask "how much extra would the Greens' transport policy cost?" and I say "nothing, because they would just shift the money around"."
It's not just a question of how much money is spent, it's a question of how efficiently you spend it.
You could ban the internal combustion engine and spend exactly the equivalent amount of money on those horse and carts for everyone, but the cost would be astronomical.The point I was making, until greenfly started fixating on cycleways, is that there is a tradeoff with everything. Promising cleaner air and cleaner beaches will have a cost, yet the Greens (like all the others) don't tell us what it will be. Will they take the money from the education budget? The healthcare budget? They don't say. They just make the same cheap promises as Labour and National etc.
re: wat's 'horse and cart' comment, there was a very interesting article in the Press? during the week on an organic vineyard that used a horse and 'cart' instead of a tractor, to spray (liquid seaweed) up and down the rows. Very appropriate, that technology and cutting edge too. Jesus.
wat – 'constant evasion .. doesn't amount to a defence' – very profound I'm sure, but I'm not defending anything. I'm seeking an explanation from you regarding the costings that have been provided for The Cycleway. After all, $50 million has been allocated for it in the budget. I'm very keen to hear from you what costings have been done for that. Surely it cannot be an uncosted project. The government couldn't be that reckless, could it? Do make an effort not to evade answering, won't you, as evasion doesn't amount to a defense.
I don't quite understand your point wat. You ask "how much extra would the Greens' transport policy cost?" and I say "nothing, because they would just shift the money around".
Let's take the $1.4 billion the government wants to spend on the Waterview Connection and – instead – spend it on something like the CBD rail tunnel or rail to the airport. How have we ended up spending more money?
You could argue about which project would have the greater benefit, and fair enough. I eagerly await a cost-benefit comparison between the Waterview Connection and the CBD rail loop. Using a 21st century way of analysing the effects of each project, and not the 1960s bollocks that is currently used, based on mythological time savings benefits.
For your information, constant evasion of this issue does not amount to a defence.
"Transport is cost neutral as you're just shifting money from motorway building to public transport."
Are you serious?
Do you really imagine that there are no profound cost differences to various modes of transport?
If that were the case, we could all go back to the horse and cart.
wat askes:
What cycleway costings are you talking about?
I rest my case and I rest my head (to bed!)
wat a reveal, Jarbury! What can wat be thinking?
What cycleway costings are you talking about?
If you can't cost your plans for still cleaner water and still cleaner air, then you don't have a case.
We all want cleaner water and cleaner air; but we also want a lot of other things, like food, healthcare, accomodation and entertainment. If you made accomodation cheaper, by eliminating building restrictions for example, then we'd have more money for some of the other things you might approve of.
But just campaigning in isolation for certain environmental intangibles doesn't give you the moral high ground. It just makes you a bunch of preachy middle-class bores.
Maybe you should read more Dickens, and imagine how you'd sound preaching your rich-world aspirations to the real working class.
What's the cost-benefit ratio of the cycleway again…
… oh that's right John Key didn't bother doing one. A bit silly considering I imagine it would have significant benefits. I guess when you're the PM you don't need to worry about all those annoyances like cost-benefit ratios though.
Wat, you need to read the Greens New Deal I think. Transport is cost neutral as you're just shifting money from motorway building to public transport. Regarding clean air and clean beaches – that's generally an advocacy issue rather than a funding issue (it's the job of councils to do that kind of stuff). And finally, regarding home insulation I'm sure you know how good the payoff is for home insulation, heck even National realise it!
wat – lay down your 'cycleway' costings and I'll go over ours with you.
– "We are 'simply' identifying positive outcomes and stating our intention to achieve them."
Again, at what cost?
I thaught Greenfly's slogan was the best, but then I am SHELLFISH BARNICLE.
Nope wat. We are 'simply' identifying positive outcomes and stating our intention to achieve them.
What are your 'clueless and careless people' trying to achieve? Care to show us, for example, how the cycleway has been costed? Pleeeeeease. -
"# Faster cheaper buses and trains will do more to cut congestion than another motorway.
# Aucklanders want to swim in clean water at their beaches and breathe clean air."
#Smart Green ideas like home insulation means we use less energy and don't have to spend billions on new power stations."Maybe. But at what cost?
You don't say.
So presumably you clueless and careless people are simply squandering money and resources.
Samiam said: I can't agree it was a catchy tag line
Caught your attention though, sam. Now, fingers crossed that everyone in Mt Albert is similarly hooked…
I can't agree it was a catchy tag line. If The Greens were within the government in some form or other, it would be right. But as they ruled themselves to be Labour lap-dogs prior to the last election, any muscle they might have boasted was neutralised.
My suggestion of 'get more mussel' was not a spurious one, it's a play on words and rhyme to remind people of Russel's green agenda. (you do have a green agenda don't you Russel?) And a reminder to those of a similar agenda to muscle up that representation in parliament, by voting for Green. -
Well, guys, I'd rather it was about Russel's muscles than have to stand myself somewhere & be scrutinised on the state of my hair/makeup/legs, etc … as a female candidate. 😉
All joking aside, it was a catchy tag-line, and followed the form of the '08 Election billboards well enough to build on the existing campaign imagery.
Just for once, I'll say that as a piece of classical marketing, it went perfectly.(Not that I'm usually a great fan of slick billboards, or totally adverse to billboard improvements – oh, check the very end of the 'Back Benches' episode from this week to see the effects that adbusters in Kingsland had on one of Melissa Lee's boards.) 😀
* Faster cheaper buses and trains will do more to cut congestion than another motorway. Voting for Russ will NOT see cheaper buses and trains, to suggest that it will is a lie.
* Aucklanders want to swim in clean water at their beaches and breathe clean air. Voting for Russ will NOT achive this.
* Local government can be local and it can look after museums as well as footpaths. Voting for Russ will not see a change in the Super City plan.
* Smart Green ideas like home insulation means we use less energy and don't have to spend billions on new power stations. This has already been implemented by the National party
* Anyone prepared to draw attention to biceps like his has a sense of humour. Anybody who votes for Russ MUST have a sense of humour.Will we ever see an honest Green party election campaign?
maybe if they dig a nice tunnel we might get mussels?
a pun fan..are you strings..?
..that's funny..cos rightwingers don't usually get past slapstick..
Hm, Interesting
Faster cheaper buses and trains will do more to cut congestion than another motorway.
How can an MP Deliver these – is this false advertising?
Aucklanders want to swim in clean water at their beaches and breathe clean air.
A statement of fact, that has nothing to do with the election. There isn't even an undertaking to deliver the ability for them to be able to satisfy their desire.
Local government can be local and it can look after museums as well as footpaths.
They can indeed, but what does this have to do with the election and central government. Electing Russell will have no impact on the vote for the SuperCity, he's already an MP and has the same vote whether by list or electorate
Smart Green ideas like home insulation means we use less energy and don't have to spend billions on new power stations.
Again, he's already an MP and has the same vote whether by list or electorate – nothing will change based on this election.
Anyone prepared to draw attention to biceps like his has a sense of humour.
True, and a good sense of humour is vital in the world we are heading toward – but let's face it, the McGillicuddy Serious Party have that edge in spades!
Yeah samiam! Share your mussels. Don't be so shellfish!
I don't know where one can collect mussels in the Mt Albert electorate samiam. Please do share 🙂
Shouldn't it read..
Get more mussel
Vote Russel -
you left out the nuances..of tactical voting..

The Tipping List
A Friend In Need
15 ways to really help a friend with breast cancer
-Nicole Johnson, Fresh Brewed Life
This October, during National Breast Cancer Awareness month, as the world shines a light on women struggling with breast cancer, it's probably brought to mind for you the question "What do I say and do when a friend has cancer? "
Certainly, it can be challenging to know how to reach out to our friends and loved ones who need us as they battle breast cancer. And because there is no guidebook for us to turn to during this difficult process, here are some tips and suggestions on how to help a friend who has cancer or who's battling any serious illness.
When a friend gets sick, we feel helpless and even a little lost. We desperately want to help but find ourselves at a loss for what we can do. We would rather do nothing than get in our friend's way or add to her burden, so sadly we often do nothing.
First of all, don't ask your friend what you can do; you know as well as I do that she won't want to tell you. To really support her, you have to jump and think of creative ways to help. Here's a list of tried-and-true tips:
1. Let her know you'd like to go with her to the doctor. Offer to pick her up, take notes during the appointment or simply hold her purse, and then drive her home.
2. Bring food that freezes well in disposable containers. Label the containers with the contents as well as reheating instructions.
3. Offer to be the friend who will let others know what is happening with her health. You could set up a phone tree or an e-mail group, so she doesn't have to constantly be communicating.
4. Take her car out, fill it with fuel and have it washed.
5. Leave a bag outside her door to fill with her laundry that needs to be done. Take the laundry home with you and bring it back that day or the very next day, cleaned and folded.
6. Send a manicurist or a masseuse to her house. Be sure to pay for the service, including a gratuity, in advance, and let your friend know you have done so.
7. Ask if she needs a wrapped gift for her child to take to a birthday party. Go out and buy the gift, wrap it and get it back to her a day ahead of the party. Offer to drive her child to and from the party.
8. See if your husband can take her husband out for golf or invite him over to watch a game. Often, no one thinks of the stress a husband carries when his wife is ill.
9. Schedule a weekly "pick-up or drop-off" run for things like dry cleaning, movie rentals and prescriptions.
10. Provide her with a housecleaner for a day. Pay the housecleaner and let your friend know you have taken care of everything.
11. In her mailbox, leave an envelope of gift certificates or coupons to places that deliver food.
12. Offer to help write, address and stamp thank-you notes for her. Bring over some pretty stationery and several booklets of stamps. And allow her to dictate some notes, and you can send them out.
13. Go card shopping and give her an assortment of occasion cards (anniversary, graduation, birthday, etc.) that she can use. Bundle them together with a nice pen and some pretty stamps.
14. Take her kids out to see a fun movie or for ice cream. She will love knowing they are having fun when she can't be the one to do it.
15. Pick up a grocery bag of "staples" (bread, juice, cereal, milk, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.) and drop them off at her door. Call (or e-mail, if the items aren't perishable) to let her know they are there.

I had a very hard time motivating and getting out but I had packed the Jeep the night before and the weather forecast put the rain coming in around 12:00-1:00. I figured I'd either be at the bottom of Heartbreak or at the Jeep by then.
The warmup through Ridgecrest/Rattlesnake was tough with no one to keep me motivated but once I was on Old Toll it was like the Rocky was a time machine.
I was surprised to be at the overlook when I got there
and even with the tough warm-up and 1000 photos I was at the trailers at 2hr15min in. Not bad at all for me.
I usually expect that entire loop to take around 4-4 1/2 hours and I knew at the trailers that if I kept the pace up I may get back to the Jeep in under 4. I also knew that being by myself on Heartbreak Ridge on a Wednesday was no time to wreck. So, competing thoughts kept the wheels rolling at a good clip, but not so fast that I was worrying about the front wheel going over the edge or anything.
On the second climb during the descent (It's never all-downhill-from-here in Pisgah) I thought I heard a 'Whooop' somewhere in the distance behind me and before I was headed down again I was passed by Marshall H. and Alex ? who were trying to complete the same look in TWO hours. I hopped on Alex's wheel and the three of us let it rip. Marshall pulled away and as soon as Alex didn't have the line to follow his front wheel went off the edge and he flew through the air in a spectacular fashion.
His shoulder was a little jacked and he told me to catch Marshall and to tell him what happened. Marshall was at the bottom waiting (right at their two hour mark) I laughed and told him I was shooting for under four, they were shooting for under two and he said something that has been ringing in my ears since: 'Goals are personal. Great job, it looks like you can make it in under 4.'. That made me smile and I started hammering up Mill Creek Road. A few minutes later Marshall passed me like I was standing still. Then Alex rode up, we chatted for a minute or three, then he stood up, turned the cranks over, and was gone. I big ringed out to the Jeep and finished in 3:40. Probably my best time yet.

Reviews for Cream Cheese Ice Cream
"@Morris1128 did you make this again? My advice to make it smooth would be to put it in a blender and give it a good whirl after it is cooled. Then put it in the ice cream maker."
"Excellent flavor but I couldn't get the cream cheese smooth. It was a weird texture like cottage cheese. Any advice?
@MaggieGraceR... I just found this recipe again today and I will give the blender a shot! Thank you!""I'm from New Orleans and my mother used to make this for us all the time and all of us loved it. I believed she used creole cream cheese but it's even hard to find creole cream cheese in New Orleans anymore. Philadelphia cream cheese is a good substitute."
"I made this ice cream, spooned it into a graham cracker crust and then topped it with strawberry ice cream topping. It was great! I also made ice cream sandwiches using the leftover graham crackers and ice cream. Perfect summer desert!"
"This was my first attempt at home made ice cream. Excellent recipe and easy to follow. It didn't last long my family loved it."
Wine Pairings
Sweet White Wine
Enjoy this recipe with a sweet white wine such as Moscato or a sweet Riesling.

Growth Hormone Alters Components of the Glutathione Metabolic Pathway in Ames Dwarf Micea

Abstract: Reduced signaling of the growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1)/insulin pathway is associated with extended life span in several species. Ames dwarf mice are GH and IGF-1 deficient and live 50-64% longer than wild-type littermates (males and females, respectively). Previously, we have shown that Ames mice exhibit elevated levels of antioxidative enzymes and lower oxidative damage. To further explore the relationship between GH and antioxidant expression, we administered GH or saline to dwarf mice and evaluated components of the glutathione (GSH) synthesis and degradation system. Growth hormone treatment significantly elevated kidney gamma-glutamyl-cysteine synthetase protein levels in 3- and 12-month-old dwarf mice. In contrast, the activity of the GSH degradation enzyme, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, was suppressed by GH administration in brain (P < .05), kidney (P < .01), heart (P < .005), and liver (P < .06). Activity levels of the detoxification enzyme, glutathione-S-transferase, were also suppressed in kidney tissues at 3 and 12 months of age and in 12-month-old dwarf liver tissues (P < .05). Taken together, the current results along with data from previous studies support a role for growth hormone in the regulation of antioxidative defense and, ultimately, life span in organisms with altered GH or IGF-1 signaling.

Free Ski Day on Sunday!
Chair 2 basin only. No Chair 3 or 4..
Webcam as of today (still good coverage..)
Why is it free?
Dave Smith Motors (large internet dealer) is located in Kellogg, Idaho as well. They generally will 'donate' a free day every couple years when the snow is good and people aren't ready to be done skiing.
Gondola boards at 8am, lifts (1 and 2) run from 8:30-3pm. No services other than BBQ and beers outside at Mountain Haus, as far as I know.
I'll be there (obviously), anyone else going?
It will be 80F in town, so probably 60-65F at the top... sounds like shorts weather to me.
Very cool, I'm familiar with Dave Smith Motors, but I didn't know they did this.
Free is good. Too bad it would cost me $250 in gas!!!
Too bad only chair 2 (how did you find out SpknMike?) is rolling, got to have Chair 3 to have any real fun though SOB might be usable.
I was up April 28 hammering the glades and there was plenty of snow left. If you plan it right, you can go down the North Face glades entering (sneaking through) the lowest gate, stick to the right, and and hike back on the crosscut ... it was narrow between Rendezvous and upper Centennial on April 28 with rocks starting to show so be careful.
Have fun!
Pretty good day. Cool surprise as they started running Chair 3 at about 10 or 11, which opened up nearly the whole mountain. Looked like they had a big turnout, though I think half the people at the lodge came up the Gondola just to party on the snow.
Run of the day was Sunset (which required a hike to the fire lookout to access). Moonshine was interesting with a 10 foot downclimb on dirt. SOB was thin and sloppy.
Not bad for free skiing..

THE WORLD HAS BEEN INVADED BY ALIENS! It's up to a nerdy, lazy high school kid to save it!
3.82 / 5.00 6,487 ViewsThe cog factory has cut back on it's workforce leaving only you in charge of sorting all the cogs used to make their 'machine'.
Your objective is to group the same colored cogs together in sprocket spirals. Once three or more cogs of the same color are adjacent to one another, they will connect themselves to the 'machine' in the background.
The number of sprocket spirals increases as you progress through the game and the 'machine' gets built.
Think carefully about which cog you send down which spiral - plan ahead. You only have a limited time before the cogs get ejected from the cogregator - so think quick!
Look out for power-ups they'll help you when you need them most.
Tricky one ! Always tryin' to go through level 2 (beginner sorry) but I'll do it !
Not what it seems
I realize you people are young, but I was able to beat it on like the 4th or 5th try. It is luck based, but each moment is about decisionmaking. 1) Collecting powerups 2) Depths of well 3) Colors needed to complete level 4) Any 2-chains or 1-chains already present 5) Satisfying maximum number of matches.
Decisionmaking is not finding the "right answer", but doing the best with what you are given. Considering the complexity of the game, there are a lot of imperfect decisions to be made under time pressure, and you need to be able to sort out which of the 5 or so factors is most important. (For example, if a well is filling up, you may disregard all other matches and only match the color for that well.)
There is definitely "skill" involved, but it's not about the right answer, but a vague holistic guess as to which is most important, and what one should look for. So this is a very well desigined game -- meant to be an information overload, but still defeatable. I'm sure he spent some time tweaking the distributions.
P.S. I still don't know how they got those obscene high schores.
great game
Hey twitchy: It IS based on luck, that is a fact, not an opinion. but it is only BASED on luck, and like almost any card game, skill is what you do with the hand that is dealt to you. and even though this is based on luck it is still a great game, the only things i could say to make this a better game, is to lower the difficulty jumps (going from 3 colors and 3 slots to 4 colors and 4 slots? why not 3.3 to 3.4 to 4.4?) and have lives..... like 3 lives, so that even if you get terrible luck and don't quite understand the how to play the first time, you can still enjoy the game on your other lives.
oh and farthest i got was lvl 4, how many lvls are there?
What's this?
People not liking a game cause its based on probability and luck?
What was Tetris? What are card games then?
It was a solid game, yes it can be a little boring, but your on NewGrounds, playing flash games. Not much to expect here. (Note: People who hate puzzle games are weak minded FPS gamers.)
This game does need a twist to it though. Design wise you hit it spot on for a good game.
Small modification required
All the game really needs is to have unlimited use of random cog generator and current cog remover.
It has very good music, which fits the mood of the game.
The graphics are also excellent.
Its just that the gameplay was too hindered.

About Scott Cleland
You are hereAmazonFCC Chair Pai Shows the Mobile World Congress He's the Un-WheelerSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Tue, 2017-02-28 13:48New Trump FCC Chair Ajit Pai's keynote speech on "Building the 5G Economy" at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona today spotlighted to the communications world that the U.S. FCC is going in a very different policy direction than that of the previous FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, who just happens to be speaking at the same event as a private citizen to a break-out session on "The Fourth Industrial Revolution." The fact that they are both at the largest communications event in the world delivering starkly divergent messages and visions, on the same day, provides an instructive and illuminating opportunity to juxtapose their contrasting policy approaches.

FCC Should Sunset Set-Top Box Provision Because Market is Fully CompetitiveSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Thu, 2017-01-26 17:45House Energy and Commerce Committee Republicans formally asked FCC Chairman Agit Pai to close the docket on the set-top box proceeding because it is no longer under active consideration, and because it "remains an unnecessary regulatory threat to the content creation and distribution industries" and casts a "shadow over investment and innovation." This is a wise, pro-competitive, pro-property rights, and good government request from Congress to the new Pai FCC. The FCC should efficiently utilize this decision opportunity to employ the statutory sunset provision in the law to permanently sunset and remove this unnecessary and serious regulatory threat to competition, copyrighted contractual content and its creation, investment, and innovation.

It spotlights how U.S. Internet commons policies – where "free" means a price of zero and "open" means no property -- create winner-take all economic outcomes for the Netstablishment at the expense of everyone else. What to Expect from a Trump FCCSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2016-11-14 13:12In the wake of a generally-unexpected election outcome, most everyone in the Internet space is grasping to understand the implications of an all Republican-led government and a Trump FCC, on their key issues. The purpose of this analysis is to spotlight and explain the most predictable changes to expect. By design, it is not comprehensive, because some issues are naturally less predictable than others. To be most accurate, this analysis will be high-level and strategic, not detailed and tactical, because the "what" and the "why" here are more predictable at this early stage than the specific "how," "when," and "who" -- for obvious practical reasons. I. Why are some issues very predictable at this early stage? First, the simple, hiding-in-plain-sight, premise here, is the process/values clarity and predictability that naturally flow from unified one-party control of the levers of government. This is the fourth time in eighteen years there will be unified one-party control of government: the Democrats had it 1993-94 and 2009-10; and Republicans had it 2003-06 and now in 2017-18. History confirms the high-level strategic predictability of one-party control of the levers of government.

WWE announced the following today:
The Wyatt Family to defend SmackDown Tag Team Titles under the Freebird RuleThe Wyatt Family is evoking a rarely-used custom during their reign as SmackDown Tag Team Champions, WWE.com has learned.
While Bray Wyatt & Randy Orton captured the titles for the Family at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs, SmackDown LIVE Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Manager Daniel Bryan have sanctioned Luke Harper as champion as well, making him eligible to defend the titles alongside Wyatt or Orton under the Freebird Rule.
Named for WWE Hall of Famers The Fabulous Freebirds, the rule stipulates that a faction that holds a championship can assign any of its members to defend the title at any given time. The reigning Raw Tag Team Champions, The New Day, have used the Freebird Rule to great success. Xavier Woods has defended the titles several times alongside either Kofi Kingston or Big E, who won them at SummerSlam 2015.
The Wyatts' challengers might have rested easier knowing they wouldn't have to contend with the enigmatic Harper on top of Wyatt himself and The Viper. No more.

When He Had A Heart Attack This Vet Had To Give Up His Dogs. Watch What Happens When He Visits Them!
PaulIn September, this vet had a heart attack and couldn't care for his two dogs. They were sent to a shelter and put up for adoption since he was unable to provide for them. When he had recovered, he had enough money to put down a deposit on them. When he came back in December for a visit, he got a wonderful surprise – some volunteers had put up the money for the adoption fee (plus some extra for food and supplies) so he was reunited with his best buddies. The joy on everyone's face, human and canine, is wonderful!

Robert Nivison, 1st Baron Glendyne
Robert Nivison, 1st Baron Glendyne (3 July 1849 – 14 June 1930) was a Scottish stockbroker.
Nivison was the son of John Nivison, a colliery manager of Sanquhar in Dumfriesshire. At the age of fifteen he joined the local branch of the British Linen Bank as a junior clerk. In 1869 he joined the London and Westminster Bank, later moving to the head office in London. In 1881 he switched careers, becoming a junior partner of the stockbrokers T. P. Baptie, becoming a member of the London Stock Exchange in 1883. In 1886 he established his own firm, R. Nivison & Co. It became a very successful business, especially after 1891, when it began to act as stockbroker to the governments of the Dominions.
For his services to the British and Dominion governments Nivison was created a Baronet in 1914[1] and raised to the peerage as Baron Glendyne, of Sanquhar in the County of Dumfries,[2] in the 1922 New Year Honours.[3]
Lord Glendyne married Jane, daughter of John Wightman, of Sanquhar, Dumfriesshire, in 1877. He died in June 1930, aged 80, and was succeeded in his titles by his son John.

Reviewing this year's program of events for APEC in Tampa, Florida, on March 26-30 provoked a few nostalgic memories. Back in 1994, I attended my first APEC conference at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and was impressed to see so many power electronics experts at one event. I actually had the pleasure to meet Ned Mohan, the author of my undergraduate power electronics textbook. Unfortunately, I hadn't brought it along for an autograph.
That event, as in the previous years, had many papers and speakers discussing the latest innovations in power-supply design, including soft switching inverters, which helped me with my graduate research. To interact with the authors of the papers I studied and to listen to their presentations was a learning experience that I will never forget.
I also enjoyed the product demonstrations and discussions with other engineers at the exhibitor booths. In graduate school, I had only read about the specifications of "hockey puck" diodes and insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) half bridges. Seeing the products and asking questions was also very beneficial for my research project.
From educational seminars to live in-booth demos, APEC's tradition of expanding your knowledge of power electronics continues at this year's show. Stop by TI's booth, No. 701, to get your questions answered by TI experts; meet Bob Mammano and enter for a chance to win a copy of his new book, "Fundamentals of Power Supply Design" (Figure 1); get to see our newest products; and witness the unveiling of end-to-end power-management system solutions including hardware, software and reference designs that help you get to market quickly.
Figure 1: Bob Mammano's book, "Fundamentals of Power Supply Design"
If you are a returning attendee or this is your first time at the show, I hope you enjoy the conference as much as I have. Perhaps Bob Mammano will agree to autograph a couple of Power Supply Design Seminar books that I cherish – if I remember to bring them along.
What you'll find in TI's booth
At APEC, TI will give designers the power to:

In an attempt to silence the Opposition, which has been demanding chief minister Prithviraj Chavan's resignation over the controversy surrounding the appointment of the central vigilance commissioner, the state on Wednesday announced a series of probes into various matters.
Chavan called for the blacklisting of civic contractors who had failed to clean the clogged drains in the city.
"I agree that not all the work on nullahs and gutters is satisfactory and many are not able to meet deadlines. Contractors who cannot keep up with the conditions should be blacklisted," Chavan told the Legislative Council on the third day of the Legislature's budget session.
His deputy, Ajit Pawar, told the Assembly that the state would constitute a committee to probe the allegations of financial misappropriation against the trustees of Lilavati Hospital in Bandra.
When the Opposition in the Council alleged that there was a Rs10,000-crore scam in a redevelopment project by Shivalik Builders in Golibar, Santacruz, minister of state for housing Sachin Ahir said that the government would investigate it if the Opposition gave evidence.

Occasionally magazines some how end up in my mailbox. This time, Your Church found its way there. And there was something I found interesting.
According to a study it cites, 55 percent of pastors can identify at least one topic they avoid preaching on or preach on sparingly because it could make people not want to come back to church.
Those topics:
Politics — 38%
Homosexuality — 23%
Abortion –18%
Same-Sex Marriage — 17%
War –17%
Women's Roles in Church and Home –13%
Doctrine of Election — 13%
Hell — 7%
Money — 3%
Pastors, does this resonate with you? What do you think of the notion of avoiding topics in fear of people not coming back?
