Economic evaluation in the planning of transport infrastructure developmentEconomic appraisal or ex-ante evaluation has a vital role in the planning and preparation of transport infrastructure investment. It can be applied both on project and programme level. Mainly, economic appraisal is conducted in order to determine if the investment in transport infrastructure development or maintenance yields an adequate return in terms of benefits given budget constraint. It is also carried out to choose the project with the highest return in relation to standards adopted. Usually, economic appraisal examines the net contribution that the investment will make to the society as a whole. Primarily, the following techniques are used for the evaluation of transport projects:

The 2010 World Cup is well underway, and like any major sporting event, the advertising and marketing schemes from big brands are receiving much attention. The World Cup marketing campaigns range in tactic, finesse and cleverness, but there is no doubt that consumers are paying attention both to the sport and the products that are being marketed to them as they enjoy each game. From Bavaria's illegal babe advertising stunt to the Adida's football cathedral, here are some of World Cup marketing campaigns from the past and present.

MCLEAN, Va. - Unused vacation time. Extended workdays. Forgotten holidays. Year after year and in headline after headline, it's becoming more apparent: the world has lost its passion to play. Today Hilton Worldwide (NYSE: HLT) embarks on a mission to excite and inspire the world to play again with the announcement of a five-year strategic marketing partnership with Live Nation, the world's leading live entertainment provider. Through the relationship, Hilton will benefit from Live Nation's fully integrated global music platform including concerts, VIP access, digital media, ticketing, content and performance venues.
Hilton is setting out to inspire a new, healthier mindset - encouraging people to seek out the unfamiliar, to appreciate a different point of view and to learn from every day experiences and travel moments. That mission begins with the launch of "Hilton at Play," a global campaign created to connect people with enriching and playful experiences. Live Nation will help anchor "Hilton at Play" and extend the message beyond Hilton's more than 4,250 hotels worldwide.
The partnership will see Hilton become the "Official Hotel Partner" of Live Nation. Members of Hilton HHonors, Hilton's 42-million-member-strong guest loyalty program, guests and team members will be encouraged to play through experiences such as unique once-in-a-lifetime artist connections as well as highly sought-after concert tickets and private hotel concert events. Additionally, Hilton will receive access to unique content from hotel concert events and select artist connections, a robust digital media plan on LiveNation.com and Ticketmaster.com, and "Where to Stay" booking links integrated on venue pages on both websites worldwide.
Hilton and Live Nation are scheduling play dates with award-winning artists at Hilton locations throughout the world - with the first taking place February 23 at the Conrad New York with GRAMMY®-nominated artist Paramore. In addition, Hilton HHonors members will be invited to redeem HHonors points and bid on exclusive play experiences such as sound checks and 'meet & greets' with popular artists.
"Around the world, people simply are not taking time off from work to play. For example, we have observed that in the U.S., Americans are taking less vacation time than at any point in the last four decades. 'Hilton at Play' is our response: it's a cultural catalyst for change and a reminder of the power of travel," said Jeff Diskin, executive vice president, commercial services, Hilton Worldwide. "We've entered into the Live Nation partnership - one of the largest in Hilton's 95-year history - in the hopes that we can inspire the world to stop and listen to the music, take a hard-earned vacation and join us in this journey to reclaim playtime."
Additionally, as the Official Hotel of Live Nation, Hilton will host Live Nation concert-goers, employees and touring productions during their travels at the company's 12 world-class global brands at the more than 4,250 hotels in 93 countries.
"Live Nation's fans from around the world are avid travelers, creating exceptional memories around their journeys to any one of our 23,000 global concerts," said Russell Wallach, president, Live Nation Media & Sponsorship. "We have a shared mission, and our collaboration will fuel these memories, going beyond simply accessing music events to focusing on inspiring people to travel and share their experiences."
Playing with an Elite Team
Live Nation is the next chapter in Hilton's long and storied history in music, entertainment and sports. Building on Hilton's legacy of playful partnerships, the company announces renewed relationships with the GRAMMY Awards® and GLAAD. The first GRAMMY Awards® were held at the Beverly Hilton in 1959, and for more than 25 years Hilton has had a tradition of supporting The Recording Academy as the Official Hotel Partner of the GRAMMY Awards®. Hilton recently renewed the partnership through 2017 - enabling Hilton to provide exclusive experiences for its guests and Team Members and continuing the tradition of supporting The Recording Academy®, The GRAMMY Museum® and The Recording Academy's non-profit organization, MusiCares. Next month, Hilton will, again, host one of the most coveted parties in the music business - the Clive Davis Pre-GRAMMY Gala - at the legendary Beverly Hilton.
As the Exclusive Hotel Partner and Presenting Sponsor of the GLAAD Media Awards, Hilton will host the 26th Annual Media Awards on March 21, 2015 at The Beverly Hilton and May 9, 2015 at Waldorf Astoria New York. The GLAAD Media Awards recognize and honor media for their fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community and the issues that affect their lives.
Live Nation joins a list of Hilton's existing partners, which will work in tandem to excite the world to play in 2015 - and beyond. This list includes the NBCU Golden Globe® Awards Show Viewing and After-Party, McLaren Honda Formula 1 team, U.S. Olympic Committee, Canadian Olympic Committee, Chinese Olympic Committee, the European Tour, James Beard Foundation and NBCUniversal.
Hilton's Days of Play Giveaway
In celebration of the campaign kick-off, Hilton launches its Days of Play giveaway on its Facebook page, offering daily opportunities for play. The giveaway features Hilton's portfolio of hotels and partners, including a Hawaiian vacation, tickets to the 57th Annual GRAMMY Awards® and more.
A Creative Play
New "Hilton at Play" campaigns will run across TV, print, radio and online advertising, showcasing the range of enriching experiences Hilton offers its guests across its portfolio of 12 brands. Whether it's an hour at the local hotel spa, a short city weekend escape to New York or a weeklong vacation to Bora Bora, Hilton is committed to inspiring travelers to break away from their daily lives and play.

Point-of-sale tobacco advertising in Beirut, Lebanon following a national advertising ban
© Salloum et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. 2013
Received: 13 February 2013
Accepted: 22 May 2013
Published: 3 June 2013
The objective of this study was to conduct an audit of point-of-sale (POS) tobacco advertising and assess compliance with an advertising ban in a large district of Beirut, Lebanon.
The audit was conducted 3 months following the ban on tobacco advertising. Trained students observed all tobacco retail outlets (n = 100) and entered data into a web-based form using iPad® technology. Presence of tobacco advertisements was assessed to determine compliance with the national advertising ban.
Among the 100 tobacco retail outlets, 62% had tobacco advertisements, including 7% with a tobacco brand logo as part of the main exterior store sign.
POS tobacco advertising is widespread in Beirut despite the national advertising ban. These findings point to an urgent need for the enforcement of the advertisement ban with tobacco retail outlets in Lebanon.
For decades, the multinational tobacco industry has enjoyed free and unrestricted tobacco product advertising, marketing, and sponsorship in Lebanon [1–3]. Analysis of tobacco industry documents has revealed that this laxness in regulation has been the outcome of a deliberate tobacco industry strategy to delay adoption and implementation and weaken the content of proposed regulation [4]. Smoking prevalence in Lebanon is estimated at 42.9% among adult males and 26.3% among adult females [5]; this is among the highest rates for females in the Middle East region. Among 13-15 year olds, 8.3% are current smokers (12.1% of boys and 5.6% of girls) [6] and there is an increase in evidence of tobacco advertising targeted to the Lebanese youth [1–4].
Lebanon ratified the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) in 2005 but it was not until 2011 that it adopted the first comprehensive tobacco control legislation. The law banned smoking in all indoor public places, effective September 2011. The ban became effective for the hospitality sector in September 2012. The legislation also banned all forms of advertising and sponsorship of tobacco products effective March 2012, and larger textual or pictorial warnings were dictated through the issuance of a ministerial decree.
Thus, for the first time in the country's history, all forms of advertising and sponsorship of tobacco products became illegal. The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Interior, and Ministry of Economy and Trade have been charged with enforcing the provisions of the new law [7]. In matters related to advertising, the Agency for Consumer Protection within the Ministry of Economy and Trade is responsible for enforcement. Violators of the advertising ban can face large fines of up to 40 million Lebanese Pounds (approximately $27,000 USD). A follow up Ministerial Decree No. 7437, issued in January 2012 [7], allowed retailers to display one sign inside their stores stating that tobacco products are sold on the premises, but places the following restrictions: (1) the sign can be no more than A5 in size (14.8 cm × 21 cm); (2) the text of the sign shall only read "Tobacco products are sold here"; and (3) no other logo and/or trademark is allowed except for that of the Lebanese Régie, the government authority with exclusive rights to import and export local tobacco products and issue licenses to tobacco growers.
To date, no studies have documented the prevalence of point-of-sale (POS) tobacco advertising in Lebanon or the Middle East region. Findings from a recent systematic review of store audit methods to capture tobacco products and marketing at POS [8] indicate only twelve studies to date that have assessed retailer compliance with a national regulation: these were in India [9, 10], Mexico [11, 12], the United Kingdom and Ireland [13–15], and the United States [16–20]. In general, these studies found lower compliance rates in developing countries (India and Mexico) and higher compliance rates in developed countries (example – up to 97% compliance immediately following implementing a law to remove POS tobacco displays in Ireland) [14].
The primary aim of our study was to assess compliance of tobacco retail outlets with a national ban on interior and exterior tobacco advertising in the Ras Beirut district of the Lebanese capital city. A secondary aim of the study was to document the number of exterior and interior tobacco advertisements and to survey tobacco product placement within stores. The store audits were performed 3 months after the law took effect.
The store audits were conducted in Ras Beirut, a diverse mixed-use district that occupies the northwestern quarter of the city and is home to the American University of Beirut. The research area comprises 10 city sectors, the majority of which have high urban density; printed maps of each sector were generated using Google Maps. The store audits were completed by 5 undergraduate students who received a half-day training session on how to create a census of the tobacco retail outlets and on how to complete the store audits. The training session included 10 "mock" audits of stores outside of our sampling area. The students canvassed the entire district with predetermined routes, marking the location of each store and assigning it a unique identification number, and thus creating a census of all tobacco retail outlets (N = 103) in the Ras Beirut district. With the exception of supermarkets, the students were able to identify the small tobacco retail outlets from the street because tobacco advertising and/or products were visible through the storefronts. We made the assumption that all supermarkets in the region sold tobacco products and thus the students were instructed to include them in their census of tobacco retail outlets. Next, the students conducted the interior and exterior audits and electronically recorded their observations. Prior to completing each interior audit, the students obtained permission from the store owner or clerk. Tobacco retail outlets observed were all stores that sold cigarettes including small, convenience stores or mini markets; tobacco or liquor stores; bakeries; gas stations; and large or super markets. A total of 100 audits were completed in June 2012 (3 stores did not sell cigarettes).
Measures and data analysis
Store audit items were based on prior studies [16, 21] and designed to solicit information on the number and placement of exterior and interior store advertisements and presence of Régie-compliant sign, and placement of tobacco products within 1 m of confectionery (candy) and cash registers. These items assessing amount of marketing and placement are commonly assessed in store audit studies [8].
Descriptive statistics were computed to characterize the quantity and nature of tobacco retail advertising. Data analyses were performed using SAS software (version 9.3, SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA).

Our study results suggest a lack of compliance with the recent national tobacco advertising ban in Lebanon and urgently calls for enforcement of this law. Three months following the ban on tobacco advertising, 62% of stores in a large Beirut neighborhood were non-compliant with the new law. We found that tobacco advertisements were prevalent predominantly inside stores and to a smaller extent on exterior store signs and windows. Even though the new law clearly prohibits all forms of tobacco advertising – both outdoor and indoor – we observed more stores with interior advertising compared with exterior advertising. During our audits we observed empty sign holders especially on window fronts that had once displayed tobacco advertisements. Without longitudinal data, we cannot be certain that these advertisements were removed in response to, or directly following, the advertising ban.
On the other hand, we did not observe any retail outlets displaying the Régie-compliant sign. This was no surprise to us, given the low level of compliance with the advertising ban. Even among retailers compliant with the advertising ban, many may not be familiar with all provisions in the law and may be unaware of the particular decree related to displaying the sign. Our audit found that tobacco products are placed within 1 m of candy in 81% of stores and within 1 m of the cash register within 98% of stores. Placement of tobacco near confectionary is suggested to encourage adolescents to see tobacco as benign and commonplace.
Our study has strengths and limitations. This was the first study in Lebanon and the region to assess POS tobacco advertising and product placement within stores. Further, our study employed an innovative approach for data collection. The recent systematic review of POS audit methods did not find any published studies relying on electronic mobile input devices [8]. Although the relative accuracy of electronic input devices compared with paper/pencil has not been tested, we assume that it is as good as or better than paper because it does not involve transcribing data. A potential limitation of our study may be its cross-sectional design since we did not observe POS advertising prior to the recent ban. We assume that the advertising ban has been partially successful in reducing POS advertising. Based on our conversations with retailers, we learned that many had removed all advertising or relocated signs to less visible areas within stores in response to the new law. However we cannot report with certainty that advertising has declined without having a record of the POS advertising rate prior to the ban.
Faced with a comprehensive advertising ban in Lebanon, tobacco companies responded with illegal brand stretching practices [22]. Main exterior store signs with cigarette brand names have been replaced with signs that limit advertisement to brand colors and logos (Figure 1A). In many exterior and interior advertisements, the full Kent brand name and logo have been replaced with a simplified brand image, the "switch" logo to promote the Kent Switch Convertibles product, a cigarette which contains a liquid capsule in the filter that can be clicked to release flavor (Figure 1B). All 7 stores observed with advertising embedded into the store sign used the brand colors and logos in their advertisements.
Further, local news reports reveal that tobacco companies are persuading retailers to continue advertising under the pretext that the companies have challenged the new decree with the Ministry of Economy and Trade [23]. In their challenge of the decree, international tobacco companies replaced the term "public spaces" with "public streets" in an attempt to disable the outright and final legislation, which bans advertisements "in any manner that allows people passing in public spaces to see them." The industry claimed that the ads "include information that enables consumers to make the right decision regarding consuming tobacco products and that taking them down constitutes an infringement on consumer protection law and obstructs consumers' ability to discern between legal and illegal products" [23]. This kind of industry action is common in the face of advertising restrictions [24] and works to undermine the positive public health impact of such measures.
Research on POS is important as it remains the least regulated channel of cigarette marketing and little is known on the potential impact of such regulation [24]. In addition to assessing compliance with the national advertising ban at points of sale, our study was the first in Lebanon to document tobacco product placement within stores. The new law did not address this issue. Similarly, our finding that the overwhelming majority of stores place cigarettes within 1 m of candy and cash registers calls for stricter regulation of tobacco promotion at point of sale.

Thorgal is a Belgian - Polish comic book series by the Belgian writer Jean Van Hamme and the Polish graphic artist Grzegorz Rosinski.
This comic series started in 1977 and was originally published in serial form by the magazine "Tintin" and from 1980 on in hardcover volumes by Le Lombard
The series, which combines the classic Heroic Fantasy with elements of Science Fiction follows the adventures of the hero Thorgal , "The Child of the Stars" , an orphan discovered by Vikings in a space capsule during a tempest and raised among them
Grzegorz Rosinski : The Artist
Grzegorz Rosinski was born in Stalowa Wola in 1941.
In 1967 he graduated the Liceum of Fine Arts in Warsaw and then joined the Academy of Fine Arts of Warsaw.
In 1976 Rosinski received a scholarship in Belgium, where he met Jean Van Hamme, who wrote for him the series Thorgal, one of the most popular European comic book series.
Since 1980, 33 volumes have been published.
Thorgal 1980-still published (with Jean van Hamme and Yves Sente), 33 albums, Le Lombard .
Yves Sente was born in Uccle near Brussels in 1964.
After studying in Belgium, he went to high school in Arlington Heights, Illinois before returning to Belgium to study law at the Facultes universitaires Saint-Louis and international affairs at the Universite catholique de Louvain.
He contributed cartoons to a number of magazines from 1986 on, including The Wall Street Journal Europe.
In 2011, a major exhibition has been showed during the summer in the medieval town of Saint-Ursanne, Switzerland.
In 2001 the Rosinski-Van Hamme duo published yet another comic book titled Western, based on a western plot, in which Rosinski changed his style considerably.
Since 2004 he published a series on Count Skarbek (with Yves Sente).
Jean Van Hamme : The Story Teller
Jean Van Hamme was born in Brussels in 1939.
In 1976, he became a full time writer, and in the next few years he published seven novels and some movie scripts, e.g. for Diva.
The fame of Van Hamme as one of the major comic authors of Europe is quite established .
The artists he works with draw the characters in a realistic style, even if the stories themselves tend to verge towards fantasy.
In 2002, Jean Van Hamme announced his intention to write fewer comics, and to concentrate more on theatre and film scripts, but seems to have changed his mind again and has since created two new stories.
In 2006, he ended his run on Thorgal with album 29, "Le Sacrifice". He has also announced his intention to create a spin-off series of Thorgal, focusing on his son Jolan. In fact, a new duo, Grzegorz Rosinski and Yves Sente continued the serie with four more albums (#30 to #33) which constitute the "cycle of Jolan"
Thorgal Aegirsson: Son of Varth and Hayne, grandson of Xargos - captain of a spaceship on a way to Earth in search of energy sources.
In the wild and inhospitable European far north, in the land of Scandinavian myth and runic legend, Viking warriors discover a child in a space capsule.
Raised by Vikings (after the spaceship crashed on Earth) but not one of them, he shows traits of character and morality that many Vikings consider those of a weak man.
In reality, if needs be, he is a courageous and skillful warrior and an especially skilled archers.
In the first album of the series "The Sorceress Betrayed", Thorgal is banished and sentenced to death by Gandalf-the-Mad (no, not that Gandalf of "The Lord Of The Rings"), king of the Vikings of the North, who despises him as a "bastard", and opposes to the love between his daughter Aaricia and Thorgal.
Rescued by a mysterious woman called Slive, he must accept to serve her for one year. It is later revealed (in The Island Of Frozen Seas) that she is a survivor of a race of Ancient Astronauts (actually Atlants who fled from Earth by the times of the cataclysm) whose ship crashed in the North Pole several years ago.
Thorgal is revealed the be the last descendant of the "People of the Stars".Leif Haraldson adopts him and gives him the names of his gods: Thorgal Aegirsson, son of Thor (god of lightning) and son of Aegir (master of the sea).
Upon Leif's death, the Viking chief Gandalf the Insane isolates Thorgal from others. Only the friendship of Aaricia, the daughter of Gandalf, brightens Thorgal's solitary childhood. Their mutual affection quickly turns into true love.
His life's goal is to find a place for himself and his family to live in peace. For a time they strip him of his memory, and he becomes the pirate lord Shaigan, though his compassionate personality remained unchanged.
The tale takes place in the seventh century and draws its narrative power from the imaginary world of magic spells and legends, where men and gods still mix.
More than a simple adventure story, this series is a true apology for freedom and the fight against the arbitrary, because what stands out most in Thorgal's personality is his deep sense of humanity...

Cerdo was the wife of Phoroneus in Greek mythology according to Pausanias.[1]

The Perfect Summer Dress!!
Now that it is getting a bit warmer around here, I have been searching the web for the perfect summer dress. And I think that these two Madewell dresses come pretty close to perfect. Now I just have to decide which one I like better. At first glance I prefer the first one, but it is a pretty loud print and I fear that I may get sick of it. On second thought, the pink one is also fairly bright and would definitely be a head turner which I am not always in the mood for. Don't get me wrong, I think there is a time and a place for both of these dress, I just have to figure out which one I would use more!! Have you found your perfect summer dress yet??
Electric Ikat Silk Dress
Market Tank Dress
8 comments:
def the first. belt it, wear a solid scarf with it, it could go with practically any cardigan, you even put a shirt under it if you really wanted to! I might have just explained all that becuase I really don't like pink, but sometimes simple isn't always more versitile.
mermaidnotebook.blogspot.comI love them both! I think the ikat is my fave...I can never find just one perfect dress! I NEED lots!!!

Going once, going twice...SOLD.
Saturday morning The Prospector and I decided to go and see what they do and how they do it. What a good time we had.
The Amador Auction House is a well organized, interesting place. It's in the old Prospect Motors building coming into town across from the park and library. I didn't think they would ever use this old car lot for anything worthwhile again... but they have.
We Got our "number" and then, because we came a little early, we got to preview the items that were going to be auctioned off.
There were books and old boxes.
There were all kinds of old bottles and lanterns.
And signs of every kind.
There was a lot of mining equipment...
Some of the artifacts were old and antique... some not so old and from the "gold" tourist industry... but all gorgeous items.
I loved the mining carts. They even had the track underneath them. That's how they got these very heavy carts down into the mines. Track is very hard to find now.
There were hats, holsters, and pick axes... and some fake bars of gold. Ya gotta know the difference between the real stuff and the fake. I WISH that I had a BAR of Gold.
As of 4/3/12 at 9:00 p.m. PST, the price of gold is $1,643.18 an ounce, so those "bars of gold" would not be just sittin' on a table like that if they were real.
There were heaters, old milk cans and fire extinguishers.
You can decide what you are willing to pay for something you really want... ahead of time. The preview lets you take a look at all the items, write down the number of the item and drool all over yourself. Like the wonderful old school desk that was talking to me from the minute I walked across the room.
But the desk wasn't what we came for. We were looking for old mining artifacts or something that we could use as a planter.
The auction started and what excitement it was. A noisy, fast paced process of bidding, shouting and confirmation of sale.
I bid on a box of books but someone else wanted them more than I did. I started the bidding on some of the wonderful signs ,but that Fort Defiance sign (in the fifth photo) ended up being sold for $100. I loved the signs and wanted one but I was unwilling to pay the price.
Then we focused on an old water trough that had a couple of gold signs attached. The bidding started at $25.
We went back and forth with one other person and finally.... WE won the bid.
The old trough was ours.
Oh Joy!
They had a lunch break and some entertainment.
Calamity Jane was causing all kind of trouble as she kicked a chair over and accused one of the men at the poker table of cheating.
Our local thespians were giving us a good show and everyone had a great time.
I drove home in a raging wind and rain storm, around lunchtime, worried about the dogs. The Prospector stayed to see the rest of the auction... and the entertainment.
Yesterday, the Prospector drove the truck downtown and picked up our "water trough" planter..
We are delighted with it.
Here it is next to the garage.
It came in two pieces. The legs and frame are separate from the box. There is a sign on the front that says
"REAL GOLD" and one on the end that I forgot to take a "before" picture of. The Prospector unscrewed them from the front and side of the trough so I could paint them. I have redone them with acrylics and today I gave them a coat of Urethane.
We lined the box with a metal liner and filled it with dirt. Now I can filled it with all kind of beautiful flowers for summer.
The signs turned out nice. It was fun to work on them. The old outlines of the words were there so I just redid what had already been there before.
The sign above ended up looking like this...
And the smaller sign that will be put on the end facing the driveway looks like this...
I think that this trough was used for a panning tough in a state park like Columbia, CA. to teach tourist how to pan for gold... but, for the rest of its life it will be holding flowers.
The auction was really a lot of fun, even though I didn't stay for the whole day. I wanted to bid on so many things but you have to stay focused and you really have to stay within your budget.
Some items went for a lot more than I thought they were worth. But, what is the worth of something when you really want it? I guess only the person who bids on that wonderful thing that "has their name on it" knows what it's REAL worth is.
But we are so happy with our new planter and the experience was really great.
The storm brought us a wild auction day and a rainbow at the end.
This seemed like a happy day to us.
Guess who called me last night? THE BEAN.
My grandson called to thank us for the birthday present and we talked for quite a while.
He says that I need an IPad so I can learn to play games better and practice more.
He says that the IPad would be a better choice than an IPhone. It's bigger and "Is more fun."
So, I have it on the best authority, that I need to invest in another form of electronics to improve my life and "play games better." He proceeded to tell me how to play a specific game which I didn't understand at all, but he was being very patience with me. After all, I'm his Noni. and he knows how easily I can "drop my transmission" over these games.
He's seven. He knows everything about computer generated games and programs and "apps".
I just love listening to him tell me how to do things.
He is such a smart little boy and he is so full of knowledge about the things that are important to him.
I'm still not sure how to play these games but I sure like the idea of carrying the Internet around in my purse.
IPhone? IPad? IPhone? IPad? Kindle? Laptop? Oh my gosh! I know they all have different uses but I'm so confused . I will have to have another discussion about this with the Bean, before I buy something. He'll probably be eight by the time I buy anything. He'll be even smarter by then.
His brother talked to me too. Little Bean is fine. He was watching TV at the same time so I only got bits and pieces of a conversation.... but, he's fine.
Then I got to talk to my son.
I love it when they call.

I've been reading a lot of discussions about what to get lately too. I, too, am confused but don't really like the idea of holding up a big ol' iPad to take a photo of something. The iPhone makes better sense for that. But then, how good is it at all the other stuff we "need" to do? If I was rich enough, I guess I could have all of them. Let me know what you find out.
ReplyDeleteI think i would choose kindle fire over the i pad but since both are way out of the budget my opinion does not count :) the auction looks like so much fun I used to go to auctions with my mother. Kids are brilliant these days for sure they learn things we have never thought of or even dreamed of in technology. Hope you have a great day love ya!
ReplyDelete- Charming BagladyApril 5, 2012 at 7:54 AM
Fabulous find on the trough! And, I know it's none of my business BUT . . . how can you tell us all about the excitement of your bidding war, tell us you won and then leave us dangling as to $$ paid??? Ooooohhh, I wanna know!!! ~Dawn

1 or 6 LED Headlamp |
Materials | Tools |
Circuit board 9-volt battery snap 6 white LEDs LM317 voltage regulator 10-ohm resistor 270-ohm resistor 5 posts Single throw, double pole switch 9-volt battery Film canister Triglide 24"x1" elastic band 3" x 1 1/2" leather 8" wire 2" of 3/16" Heat shrink 1" x 1/4" diameter plastic tubing 3/16" x 1" bolt 3/16" wing nut 3/16" x 2 1/2" screw eye bolt, two nuts |
Wire wrap tool and wire Needle and thread Leather hole punch Knife E-6000 glue Soldering iron Blow dryer Small saw Wire cutters/strippers Needle nose pliers Sandpaper |
I like this headlamp better than the one or four version for several reasons:
It is also more efficient (lasts longer on a battery). I did a test of a resistor circuit and a voltage regulator and the voltage regulator was brighter and lasted longer than the circuit with only a resistor.
This headlamp weighs 3.25 ounces including the battery. You could probably save some weight by using shorter bolts. The LED flashlight weighs 2.2 ounces itself, so the whole headband and bracket only weigh one ounce. This weight is worth the convenience to me.
I used a single throw, double pole switch. This gives me the option of either using a single LED or all 6. At night inside your tent, you can get by using a single LED. I save the 6 for when I really need it. The single LED will outshine the 6 LEDs when the battery starts going dead (that should be a big hint for you to change the battery) but will last for a LONG time (10 or more hours).
These instructions assume that you are familiar with electronics or have already made an LED flashlight. If you haven't, then see the following page for general information on constructing an LED flashlight.

You may want to cut the switch paddle shorter. This will keep it from turning on as often in your pack. Don't cut it too short; there is a small piece inside the paddle. If you cut the paddle too short, this piece will fall out and the switch won't work anymore.
Remove the battery clip from the battery when not in use to make sure it doesn't accidentally get turned on in your pack.
You could make this fairly water resistant by using E-6000 glue around the screw, switch, and wires (where they come out of the film canister), putting a balloon around the battery and snap, and gluing a piece of clear plastic over the end of the film canister.
The LEDs are by far the most expensive part of the headlamp. You can purchase them for between $2 and $3 USD each depending on the brightness (and where you get them). The materials for the headband, electronics, and hardware will cost about $4 USD. So for $16 and a little time, you can make a GREAT headlamp.
Just a word about brightness. The human eye can discern a difference in two lights if one is twice as bright as the other. That is if one LED is 5,000 mcd and another is 2,000 mcd, you could tell the difference. You probably couldn't tell the difference between 4,000 mcd and 5,000 mcd.
This headlamp was made using 6 LEDs of 9,300 mcd each for a total of 55,800 mcd at a cost of $15 USD. I could also have used 6 LEDs of 6,400 mcd each for a total of 38,400 mcd for $9.60 USD. It's a tradeoff - you'll have to decide what is best for your situation. In the three years that I have been experimenting with white LEDs the brightness has gone from about 3,000 mcd to 9,300 mcd and the price for the brightest LEDs has remained about the same ($2.50). The older, dimmer LEDs go for about half that cost.

Keep Montana Waterways Clean this Spring!
Stormwater runoff occurs when precipitation, such as snowmelt, can't be absorbed as it flows over impervious surfaces (roads, sidewalks, etc.). It can be problematic when it picks up debris, chemicals and other pollutants; as it carries them into waterways. This includes Montana's lakes, streams and sources that provide our drinking water.
As temperatures warm this spring, you can follow these tips to help protect Montana waterways:
- Dispose of all trash appropriately. Debris such as plastic bags or rings can be deadly to Montana's aquatic life.
- Regularly maintain and check your vehicle or other equipment for chemical leaks. Oil, antifreeze, gasoline, and other substances are toxic to animals, plants and people.
- Safely dispose of products such as household cleaning chemicals and pesticides to prevent them from contaminating waterways.
- Pick up after pets and properly dispose of any waste.

Maggie started preschool last week. As per usual with preschools these days, she went a half hour the first day, an hour the next, an hour fifteen day three. On each of these days, I cleared my schedule so that I might sit there in a tiny chair, offering her the comfort of my gradually more disinterested presence, before the tears and wailing and general agita once I dared, on day four or so, to say, "Mommy's going to go now."
On Day Two, twenty minutes or so in, I get the tap from the preschool director.
PRESCHOOL DIRECTOR: Why don't you go get a cup of coffee? I think she's fine.
Oh yeah? Watch this, I thought, approaching Maggie at the sand table.
ME: Maggie, Mommy is going to go outside for a little while.
Maggie keeps digging.
ME: But I'll be right back! I'll look at my watch! I won't be late!
Maggie puts down her shovel.
MAGGIE: I don't care.
ME: … what?
MAGGIE: You can go Mommy.
ME: I can?
MAGGIE: (shrugs) It's up to you.
It's up to me? The assistant teacher was standing right there, trying not to laugh at her rather curt dismissal of me, and so I left. Maggie shouted "See you later, crocodile!" down the stairs after me, but otherwise showed no reaction to my leaving. It was me in tears on the front steps.
This morning, when I dropped her off for her first full (four-hour) day, I started in on the mommy-will-be-right-back thing again, and she rolled her eyes.
MAGGIE: Mommy. I. DON'T. CARE.
I think I'm supposed to be happy about this. However, she is TWO. Do you think she might have mustered up a sniffle or two for the woman who bore her, and for a full eleven days past her due date? Hello? Anything?

preschool separation: easier, and harder, than I thought

This is so ME. I was exactly the same way.Still am. Only problem is by daughter is in sixth grade and almost as tall as I am.
- September 14, 2010 at 5:30 am
Oh Amy, she is growing wings! The very best kind; she knows she is safe and you WILL be back. Enjoy every moment.
- September 14, 2010 at 2:26 pm
As the mother of a boy about to enter 3rd grade who was just crying last night about starting school next week, I have to say, I'm not feeling too bad for you.
I'm pretty jealous, really. haha - September 14, 2010 at 2:35 pm
I've gone through this already, because my little Zoe goes to daycare/preschool 4 days per week for 7 hours per day. She is 20 months. I cried for a good portion of the first month that she went to daycare. Now, it is wonderful! She is happy and content when we leave her at school, and happy, tired, and content when we pick her up!
- September 14, 2010 at 9:48 pm
What? No tears and clinging to legs? What a letdown!
Mine did the same thing the other day when I left her at the gym daycare for the first time. She actually cried when we left, I guess she didn't realize she was supposed to cry when I left her there, duh.
Humph, I suppose it is nice she is happy on her own, but, but, does this mean she doesn't need me already???
- September 15, 2010 at 1:10 am
I am very worried about this. My daughter will be going to preschool this time next year. It makes me sick to think of it.
On the downside, I don't think it gets any better. Your experience reminds me of when I left for college four hours away from home. I was ready to send mom home with no question. Poor mom told me later on that she cried all the way from the campus parking lot back up to Cleveland.
Yikes, let's not think about them going away to college, too. - September 16, 2010 at 5:23 pm
Just tell her you're leaving, and today is a special day. The day she must find her way home on her own. See how that grabs her.
There is such a thing as being TOO secure.
- September 17, 2010 at 2:57 pm
Anonymous, you may be on to something… she just has her act together way too much. I need to shake things up or else I'll be in big trouble when she's 12.
Sheila, I remember that first day of college so well too. I was so ready to go. My dad told me later that my mom cried most of the way home and I couldn't imagine why. What was there to cry about? Ah, now I get it.
- September 18, 2010 at 1:06 am
I think it is a testament of good parenting. She feels secure in knowing you'll be back. At least that's what I tell myself when my 4 year old practically ran into her preschool class without looking back.

Pennsylvania ATF leader uses surges, social media in busts
June 17, 2013 4:00 AMFor four months last year, Essam "Sam" Rabadi commanded an intensive federal-local "surge" in the toughest neighborhoods of Philadelphia, leading to charges against 92 defendants.
Last month, Mr. Rabadi was named the special agent in charge of the state for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. On Thursday, in his first visit to Pittsburgh since taking that post, he said he is going to bring the same aggressive leadership to ATF efforts on this end of the state, using technology, cooperation and innovation in a time of budget cuts and staff constraints.
"If someone's illegally putting guns on the streets, we will vigorously enforce," he said in an interview in the Federal Building, Downtown. Asked about a recent bust built in part on a YouTube video, he said, "We're going to hit you from every angle, especially our younger workforce."
Mr. Rabadi, 52, originally of Yonkers, N.Y., started his career as a police officer there, then joined the U.S. Secret Service and finally, in 1992, the ATF. He has primarily been stationed in Pennsylvania since 2000.
In Philadelphia last year, he was the ATF's lead man in the Violent Crime Reduction Partnership, in which the agency worked with that city's police "exclusively in the areas with the highest gun violence," he said. The agency and department created four squads -- aimed at armed robbers, home invaders, gun interdiction and special intelligence -- that netted "individuals who were involved in multiple felony offenses, multiple violent crimes," he said.
Of the 92 people charged federally, 16 could qualify if convicted for the 15-year mandatory minimum sentences meted out to armed career criminals.
Mr. Rabadi said parts of Pittsburgh could benefit from similar attention, areas where levels of violence are "just ridiculous, off the charts, compared to other parts of the city." Given the belt-tightening mandated by the federal fiscal sequester, he's not promising a surge but is pledging to use the available tools vigorously.
"If I'm able to get more shooters off the street and get them behind bars, then I'll have succeeded at what I've set out to do," he said.
Statewide, he has 175 agents, inspectors and other staff members. He's got a reputation for working with local bureaus and departments, and he's determined to more fully realize the potential of technology ranging from social media to the ATF's National Integrated Ballistic Information Network.
The network is a system that can analyze the tiny markings on shell casings and match them to casings found at other crime scenes and sometimes to the guns that fired them. Since the 1990s, the ATF has been encouraging large local law enforcement agencies to promptly put every crime scene casing into the system.
Its effectiveness is "based on the timeliness of the entries," Mr. Rabadi said. "We want investigators to know of any potential [match between casings found on crime scenes] within 24 to 36 hours.
"Hopefully, ultimately, you end up with the gun," which may then be traced to the shooter or supplier, he said. "But cases have been made without the recovery of the gun," he said, highlighting investigations that connected multiple shootings and led to convictions.
Last week, the ATF got a search warrant allowing agents to take saliva from Montay Towan King, 37, of Penn Hills. The agency is trying to match the DNA in the saliva to that found on two guns that police said were recovered in a rented Dodge Charger. King, a repeat felon and rapper who goes by the stage name Tay Loc, was driving the Charger, police said, but was not the registered user.
Felons caught in vehicles with firearms routinely argue in court that the weapon and car were owned by someone else and claim they didn't know the gun was there. However the ATF, according to an affidavit filed in the case, found one rap video on YouTube in which King appeared with the Charger and another in which he held two guns -- including at least one that matched a Glock found in the car -- over the lyric, "Got that heat, blow your mind."
King has pleaded not guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm and possessing and intending to sell crack cocaine.
Mr. Rabadi said the use of YouTube is an example of the many lessons he learns from younger agents.
"We're recruiting a whole different generation of agents at ATF," said Bill Earle, who retired from the ATF in 2004 after a 33-year career that ended with seven years as the agency's chief financial officer. "They know all about social media and where you can find people, whether it's Facebook pages, or LinkedIn, or YouTube videos."
Mr. Earle is now vice president of the ATF Association, a membership group of current and former agents. He said he is worried that the new generation isn't populous enough.
"You've got a huge cohort of agents who are aging out and who will become mandatory [retirees] when they become 57," Mr. Earle said. Recent training classes have been too small to replace retirees, and that trend threatens to continue with the federal sequester.
"We're almost at the point of crisis mode with the attrition issue," Mr. Rabadi agreed. "We have to be smart about how we deploy our resources."
Legal limits on the ATF's activities, and its position as the kid brother to the FBI in the Department of Justice family, also present challenges, experts said.
"ATF has been put in a position where they can work certain types of cases, and they do a great job, but they're kind of the red-headed step child of federal law enforcement," said William Vizzard, a former ATF agent who rose to the rank of special agent in charge of systems and records nationally before he left in 1994 to teach law enforcement. He's now a professor emeritus at California State University-Sacramento and is the author of "In the Crossfire: A Political History of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms."
"Their biggest problem is that we've just never decided what we want to do with guns in the United States," Mr. Vizzard said. For example, Congress has barred ATF from creating a gun ownership database.
Without a database and with just 700 inspectors nationally to handle some 100,000 licensed gun sellers and thousands of explosives licensees, the ATF is hard-pressed to sort through paper records to establish improper sales, Mr. Earle said.
Even when they catch a gun dealer falsifying records, federal law allows only a misdemeanor charge, Mr. Vizzard said. "When you go in and audit a dealer and find that they, literally, have 1,000 missing guns, you can't charge a felony."
Long a target of the National Rifle Association's ire, ATF has been pilloried by critics for its handling of the Fast and Furious gun-tracking project. And for seven years, the agency has operated without a confirmed director. President Barack Obama's nominee, B. Todd Jones, last week got a long-awaited Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, but it's as yet unclear when he'll get an up-or-down vote.
"Not having a permanent director does impact morale with our folks," Mr. Rabadi said. "You can't just have rotating people" at the top.
"Nevertheless, we're all doing our jobs."

Two convoys of aid for the Syrian city of Aleppo were waiting in no-man's land on Wednesday after crossing the Turkish border, as disagreements between warring sides and security fears held up deliveries on the third day of a ceasefire.
The convoys, each of around 20 trucks carrying mostly food and flour, entered Syria from the Turkish border town of Cilvegozu, 40 km (25 miles) west of Aleppo, on Tuesday but made it little further than the Turkish customs post.
The delay was a sign of the difficulties facing the ceasefire, brokered by the United States and Russia on Friday, and which Washington hopes will revive peace talks aimed at ending Syria's multi-sided civil war.
The conflict has sucked in regional and global powers, ignited a refugee crisis in the Middle East and Europe and helped to revive an international jihadist militant movement, inspiring a succession of attacks across the world.
The U.N. estimates that well over half a million people are living under siege in Syria, whose five-year conflict has killed hundreds of thousands and displaced more than 11 million.
On Wednesday, both Moscow and Washington spoke positively about the deal, with the Kremlin saying it raised hopes for a peaceful solution to the crisis and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry arguing it was a "last chance" to keep Syria together.
However, a prominent opposition politician, George Sabra, said the many violations which marked a previous truce had undermined confidence in this one and it was too early to talk about a resumption of peace talks that were abandoned in April.
Speaking to Reuters, he lamented a lack of mechanisms to enforce the ceasefire and accused the government and its allies of committing minor violations "to impede the other goals of the truce, such as delivering necessary aid to besieged areas".
The Syrian army has meanwhile accused rebels of numerous violations since the ceasefire took effect on Monday.
The international community's first goal is to get aid to Aleppo, the scene of Syria's fiercest fighting in recent months and divided into sectors held by the government and insurgents.
Aided by Russian air power and Shi'ite militias, the Syrian army this month renewed its siege on rebel-held eastern Aleppo, home to at least 250,000 people. Capturing the opposition-held area of Syria's biggest city would be a major boost for President Bashar al-Assad's war effort.
"Things are taking longer than we'd hoped," David Swanson, spokesman for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) told Reuters. He said 20 U.N. trucks were waiting at the border "ready to go".
Disagreements between the warring sides were blocking aid getting into opposition-held eastern Aleppo, Swanson added. "Some groups are looking to gain political mileage out of this, and this is something we need to put aside," he said.
A second U.N. official said that deliveries to Aleppo had to cross numerous checkpoints operated by both opposition and government forces, and there was still uncertainty over whether the aid could get through safely.
But the opposition's Sabra blamed Damascus, saying the government's insistence on controlling aid was obstructing its delivery to Aleppo under the agreement.
The Syrian government has said it will reject any aid deliveries to the city not coordinated through itself and the United Nations, particularly from Turkey, which has backed the rebels fighting Assad.
The U.N. says it must get permission for most of its aid deliveries from Damascus. The U.N. has repeatedly criticized the Syrian government for restricting access, especially to besieged areas, and for removing vital items from convoys. (nL5N1733S8)
As a result, the vast bulk of supplies to opposition-held areas are actually delivered across rebel controlled border points, sidestepping government approval.
That allows them to bring in supplies despite the political constraints, but exposes them to greater danger and still does not address the suffering of those in inaccessible, heavily besieged areas which the U.N. aims to reach through the truce.
The ceasefire has drastically reduced fighting across the country between Syrian government forces and insurgents. But a similar truce in February gradually broke down and violence escalated sharply, particularly around Aleppo.
The U.N. special envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, said on Tuesday that the U.N. was still waiting for Damascus to issue letters authorizing aid deliveries. A Turkish official said no further trucks were expected to cross the border on Wednesday until the situation became clearer.
Swanson said the U.N. was also ready to deliver aid to "other besieged and hard-to-reach locations … but only once access is possible."

But lest we forget that politics in every country are riddled with some serious sexism, the debate was kicked off by a woman in a cleavage bearing dress Vanna White-ing around with a bowl full of numbers that the candidates drew from in order to decide who went first. Ay caramba.AdvertisementJulia Orayen, part time model and former Playboy playmate, was the star of last night's Mexican Presidential debate, even though she's not running for any sort of office and didn't speak a single word. She appeared briefly before the proceedings in a skintight ensemble. And everyone at the debate behaved like respectful adults and people paid attention to the substance of the debate rather than the T&A onscreen.Ha! Just kidding! It was actually the opposite of that.AdvertisementAccording to the New York Daily News, Orayen's sexy decoration act stone the show last night. Candidates' eyes basically turned to hearts and shot out of their heads, horny wolf in a Tex Avery cartoon-style, and audience members' tongues rolled out of their mouths, extending for several yards. Former NYU professor and current Presidential candidate Jorge Castaneda Tweeted, "The best was the girl in white with the cleavage at the beginning," and following the proceedings, Julia Orayen's name trended on Twitter for almost 24 hours. Everyone acted like they'd never seen a woman in a tight white dress before.Debate organizers say that Orayen's appearance was due to a wayward production assistant who only asked her to wear a long, white dress for the event, and that Orayen picked the dress from her own personal closet. She says, "It was my only choice for a long dress. I didn't think it would reveal as much or cause this much scandal. I learned I like myself better when I'm covered up."Oh, Jesus.
