I am looking to see if anybody has any suggestions as to how to most effortlessly solve the problem I have at hand. It is fairly specific, but I think that its applications are of a more general nature.
What I have are the following closed paths:
Path A: A lake
Path B: A forested area (multipolygon)
Path C: A wetland area
They are in the current configuration:
C is a subset of B
All share a common boundary with common nodes
What I would like is to separate B from (a part of) the shared boundary, setting back the boundary B, but leaving the boundary between A and C (with common nodes) as it were before.
As I understand it, the underlying model is that the multipoligon's outer boundary is just a closed way, that is a sequence of nodes. What I need to do is thus just to replace a sub-sequence of that way (the outer boundary) with another sub-sequence, leaving the rest intact.
I have now drawn a new way to mark the new inset of the forested area (Let's call it "D"). D shares begin and end nodes with A, B and C. D serves no other purpose than to mark the new (inset) boundary of B, so it is all right if it does not survive the process as a separate entity. It should be merged into B as such.
I know that in order for the multipolygon to still make semantically sense as an area, it needs to be the case that its outer boundary makes the transition from one closed way to another in "one go", since any intermittend step would leave the data model unsound.
I realize that I could go through all the shared nodes and split them using G and then move the boundary of B back, but depending on the number of nodes that is a rather tedious process. Also, that will split all the intermittent nodes that A and C share, which would then need to be merged anew, creating an even larger change set to no avail.
My intuition tells me that regardless of whether you consider this a set operation on spatial areas or a mutation of a list of nodes, this should be possible. Just draw D, select B and D and then .. ???
Is there a smart way to accomplish this in JOSM ? I am running v.12921.
I am not sure if I missed a special case here, but in JOSM you have the replace geometry method.
You draw a new way, select it and an existing way and press Ctrl+Shift+G .
As a result the existing way is replaced by the new, the new one has the id, the tags (and the history) of the old.
Another useful function to redraw a part of an existing shape is Follow Line (F).
You draw the new part, connect the new line with the existing and add the next point of the existing way.
After that you press F to follow the existing line.
Would that help?
Yet another possibility is to select B, unglue it from A by pressing G.
Now improve the precision of B by pressing W, see ImproveWayAccurary
at the end let de validator run and automatically fix all double landuse points (i.e. let de validator merge all points of B that are still common to A and any other landuse).

Rejuvi-Cleanse Daily Exfoliating Powder, Face Mask & Cleanser is a simple but fresh and smart display of putting great herbs to good use. Organic licorice root, while mechanically removing surface debris, also works its intrinsic medicinal magic to fight the inflammation that results from regular daily exposure to the environment. Licorice root is also known to work as a natural skin lightener by inhibiting melanogenesis, or melanin production. Kaolin clay and arrowroot both work to draw out excess oils and remove small particles from the skin, but will not challenge pH balance or break down important protective oils the way soap can. Cardamom works to clarify, detox and cleanse. Honey is well known for its gift of moisturizing and beautifying skin. All these beautiful ingredients work symbiotically to naturally rejuvenate your skin leaving you looking and feeling like your brightest, cleanest self. As with all of Ora's Amazing Herbal products Rejuvi-Cleanse is gluten, grain and synthetic free.
Preservative Free – Keep Product Dry To Prevent Spoilage
Choose from refreshing Cardamom-Lime or Unscented
Why a powder scrub?
The scrubs my generation grew up with all were cream or gel based. Little did we know that they were chock full of parabens, petroleum derivatives and toxic preservatives. When bacteria, and fungal spores that are all present in the air are exposed to water, they have the opportunity to proliferate, or grow. This means that when a product has water in it, such as in a water and oil emulsion, it must be preserved in order to prevent microbial growth, otherwise known as spoilage. When I formulate my products, my first concern is that they work, but equally and uncompromisingly important is that they are non-toxic. I also take it one step further and say they promote health and healing. This way I can feel good about the energy I put into Ora's Amazing Herbal, because it is a way for me to send some healing out into the world. Our cleansing powders are all made with an organic herb base so that they promote health and healing by delivering nutrients through your skin while they cleanse and exfoliate.

To replace the rear shocks on a vehicle, raise the vehicle's hind side, remove the bolts securing the rear shocks on the passenger and driver's sides to take them out, and replace them with new ones. Replace the bolts, and attach the shock to the axle.
To raise the hind side of the vehicle, position its rear side on the jack stands such that the jack is positioned beneath the axle. Then, raise the jack so it touches the axle. Get beneath the rear side of the vehicle, and locate the passenger and driver's side rear shocks. The former is located in front of the axle and the latter to its rear.
Use a pair of pliers to hold the nut of the rear shocks' securing bolts located at the lower end of the shocks. Connect the bolt to the appropriate socket of the ratchet set. Attach the socket to the ratchet, and take the securing bolt out. Remove the shocks' top using a wrench with an open end.
Repeat the process to remove the securing bolt on the upper side, and gently tug the rear shock out. Position the replacement rear shock. Keep the strap around the shock attached and compressed. Then, support the shock by hand, and snip the strap.
Next, insert the upper and lower securing bolts, and tighten them with the ratchet set. Finally, connect the shocks' bottom end to the axle using the bolt and nut.

Funky time in American history when the hippies started disappearing and black people could dance well, even if it was mostly disco.
by forgetabutity! January 14, 2012
The absolute best time in music to have existed, and, perhaps ever exist. With bands such as the Moody Blues (Nights in White Satin), America, Chicago (Dust in the Wind), Pink Floyd, Queen, Led Zepplin, Marvin Gaye, Free, Blood Sweat and Tears, and all the awsome forms of disco, the 70's were just a time of absolute fantastic.
Led Zepplin, Queen, Pink Floyd, Marvin Gaye, Free, Blood Sweat and Tears, America, Moody Blues are all examples of the 70's at their finest.
by DevilWithoutToes November 10, 2005
The best decade for black people in America. This is when their uprising had occured. Blacks going into White schools for the first time, and jobs aswell They even went on to become police officers, firemen, tv/movie stars, lawyers & comedians for the first time.
The 1970s was also when Hip-Hop music, first ever Betamax, VHS player, pong (1st video game), and cassette tapes were invented.

LONDON, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said Britain's economy could start to grow more quickly and stop lagging behind the global economy later this year if there is clarity about Britain's future relationship with the European Union.
"The world economy is accelerating, and we haven't seen that yet," Carney told BBC radio in an interview on Friday.
"There is the prospect this year, as there is greater clarity about the relationship with Europe and subsequently with the rest of the word, for a recoupling – if I can use that term borrowed from Gwyneth Paltrow - a conscious recoupling of the UK economy with the global economy."
Britain grew more slowly than every other G7 country over the first three quarters of 2017 after the 2016 Brexit vote. Official data due later on Friday is expected to show growth remained unchanged in the fourth quarter.
Most economists expect the BoE will raise interest rates towards end of 2018, but some think it could move as soon as May. (Reporting by David Milliken; Writing by William Schomberg)

I enjoy tasty baked goods. I like cookies, pies, scones – pretty much anything really. Yesterday I decided that I needed, needed something sweet with my tea. What goes better with tea than cookies? Nothing. Except maybe Russian Tea Cakes. These crumbly, shortbread-like delights are a perfect match for the hot beverage of your choice. Enjoy!
You'll need:
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup finely chopped husked hazelnuts, toasted – or the nut of your choice. I like pecans.
- Powdered sugar
Sift flour and salt together. Using electric mixer, cream butter in large bowl until light. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and beat until fluffy. Add vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients in 3 batches. Mix in hazelnuts. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Form dough into 1-inch balls. Space 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until just firm to touch, about 15 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool slightly. Roll in powdered sugar. [I put the powdered sugar in a paper bag, add a couple of cookies at a time and give them a gentle shake. Way easier]. Cool completely. Roll cookies in powdered sugar again. Store in airtight container.

In Season West Coast: Dates
Next to figs, dates might be one of the sexiest fruits there is. There's something sort of decadent about them. In fact, the Medjool date is considered the fruit of kings and have been found in earthenware pots in the tombs of pharaohs.
They are the oldest fruit cultivated by man and there are dozens of different varieties. Grown widely in the Middle East and North Africa, they have thrived in the United States, specifically in the Cochella Valley here in California, since the turn of the century when they were imported from Morocco in an attempt to save them from extiction from disease.
The texture of dates can differ widley. This is because they grow in large bunches and the dates on the outside get more sunlight and, not surprisingly, more dried out. The ones deep in the heart of the bunch will be much more goey, almost. The Deglet Noor are at the dryer end of the spectrum, but are still quite flavorful and are pleasingly chewy. Honey dates taste just like what the name would imply. Halawys have a creamy caramel flavor and Khadrawy taste like brown sugar. However, most people consider the Medjool date to be the best. Large and plump, Medjools have a rich, sweet taste.
Although they are great to snack on just on their own, dates are often combined with walnuts and used in baking in things like breads, muffins, or dense cookie-like bars. Another common use for dates is in ice cream shakes. Last year for New Year's Eve I stuffed them with cheese, wrapped them in bacon, and roasted them in the oven. It's nice to make a compote or a relish with them to serve alongside chicken, fish or lamb or just toss in a spinach or mustard greens salad with some goat cheese or Manchego.

*For those of you wishing to read this book I sincerely apologize for the spoiler you will find at the
beginning of this paragraph. I felt the need to include it because it helps to provide evidence.*
The elements Julia chose to include in her book review of Inside Out were theme, foreshadowing and characterization. She thought the two biggest themes were overcoming deceitful judgements and the complexity of societal corruption. I completely agree with the second, however I think that overcoming deceitful judgments was not an extremely important part of the novel. Of course the main character, Trella, had to deal with trustworthy and untrustworthy people, however, it I don't think it was so important that it would be considered one of the main themes. I agree one hundred percent that the characters reflect the complexity of societal corruption. Julia thought the characters were really easy to relate to even though they lived in a completely different world. Though I thought the characters seemed like they could be real people I found it difficult to relate to Trella. This might possibly be because I'm only twelve and Trella's seventeen. I thought the author included some excellent foreshadowing about where the whole story took place. She added little questions such as "Why is Inside always heated?" and while they made you wonder I can't remember ever finding an answer to this question.
I thought the author, Maria V. Snyder, did exceptionally well when it came to new and different ideas. *I'd never read about a story that took place on a giant space ship*. I thought it was very creative and unique. Though Snyder did a good job of explaining most of the novel I got extremely confused when it came to the pipes and, what Trella calls, the Gap. This wouldn't have been as big a problem if Trella didn't spend so much time in the pipes but because the pipes of Inside are a very important to the novel it would have been better if you were able to understand where all the pipes were. I would have also liked to see more emotion throughout the story. Trella went through copious amounts of emotional situations and I think Snyder could have included more detail as to how she was feeling. There was a time in the book when Trella was tortured and of course she didn't like that but the author never went into more detail explaining how the experience changed Trella or if it compelled her to fight harder. I also think that because the novel was written in first person this would have been another excellent opportunity for Snyder to add more emotion and description into her writing. Overall I think Inside Out was a good read and it contained lots of unique and interesting ideas.

I have a very strange resolution problem on my new machine.
Machine is an ASUS Vintage barebones, with a SIS 661FX graphics adapter, using 128 Mb RAM. Monitor is an old Siemens MCM 1702 that supports up to 1280x1024.
If i set the resolution to 800x600, everything works fine.
If i set the resolution to 1024x768, everything works fine.
If i set the resolution to 1280x1024, windows doesn't complain, but:
1. Resolution indeed changes to 1280x1024, but it's VIRTUAL
2. The screen resolution i see on the monitor doesn't change, i get a virtual screen, 1024x760, and I have to scroll around to see all the desktop...
The effect is the same as I've seen on LCD screens if you set the resolution above the number of pixels on the screen - but my monitor is a CRT!
Can anyone please help, before I go crazy?

Hi, this is Debbi from Tattered Butterfly. I get asked often how do you decoupage furniture. It's pretty easy but you have to have some patience. It great way to have unique piece furniture.
When we were deciding what we wanted in Master Bathroom after the flood we wanted something that we would love and would be useful. We had two vanities with sinks and hardly any counter top and no useful storage. It was never very organized. I had to have a vintage vanity to put on my make up so I could store all the stuff in our master which was taking up more room. Ugh!
I had found this piece below through a friend. It's a two piece hutch but we decided to use just the buffet and use the hutch top for another project.
So this had good bones and tons of storage!
I found an oops Zinsser B-I-N Primer which is my favorite primer of all time. There is no bleed through of water stains. It covers well and it sands baby smooth. This had been tinted a taupe color.
2 Coats of white and then some distressing.
This is the fun part. I choose this Italian wrapping paper. You can get at Paper Source at Fashion Place Mall.
I then coated the edge and middle of the door with Mod Podge. Apply a thick coat and make sure you go to the edge.
I let the paper dry completely. It will be a little wrinkly that is okay. If you want a smoother look use a brayer. This is where you can mess up the paper if it still wet.
Be patient. I have to walk away and work on another project. The anticipation always kills me!
I lightly sand over the wrinkles to give it a distressed look.
I use a micro fiber to wipe down any particles. You want to have a clean surface.
Mod Podge over the surface of the paper. You want to have a thick even coat. Let dry. I sealed it with a Polyacylic. My favorite is Varathane for floors. It is water based and is so easy to apply.
Lots of storage for everything. My hubby and I get up at different times so we opted for one sink and more counter top.
The hubs did all the plumbing and cut out of the sink. I love that it's a statement piece of our bathroom redo. Off to another project!

oh, ann....
In the wake of Dean's success, the entire Democratic Dream Team is beginning to sound like Dr. Demento. On the basis of their recent pronouncements, the position of the Democratic Party seems to be that Saddam Hussein did not hit us on 9-11, but Halliburton did.
Did I miss something important? I was sure it was bin Laden/the Taliban/al Qaeda that hit us on 9/11.
I really shoudn't write about Coulter. Every time I do, I have nightmares about her and she takes the form of Sebastian Bach.
She is just one of the many reasons I would never align myself with the far right. Besides that whole ideology thing, I mean.

Yesterday we were in no hurry to get up in the morning, so the children came and snuggled me in bed. Aaron bombarded me with facts about the human body that he had learnt from a game on his Leappad. While I had a shower, the children used a measuring tape to find out their height in centimetres and inches. After breakfast Aaron and I put together a science kit he was given for his birthday, involving air pressure and electrical circuits.
In the afternoon we went to a Christian home-ed group at our church. On the way to the car we could see a circular shape shining through thick clouds. We discussed whether it was the sun or the moon and came to the conclusion that the reflected light from the moon would not be powerful enough to shine so brightly. Aaron also discussed whether planetary orbits are circular or elliptical.
At home-ed group the younger ones listened to a few chapters of Little Pilgrim's Progress and then did art and craft activities. At the end they played a rowdy game of "stuck in the mud" with the bigger children. We called at Lidl for some shopping on the way home and the children asked for some berries. Blueberries were £1.29 and raspberries were £1.39, so Aaron worked out which was cheapest and how much more expensive the raspberries were.
Back at home, I put the oven on for dinner and Aaron begged to do some washing up. Obviously I wasn't going to say no! He did a load of dishes for me and Tabitha washed some cutlery. After dinner Colin taught them to play dots and dashes. Tabitha went to bed first and Aaron used his extra time to build roads with Cuisenaire rods.
Today we went to Home Grown Kids. We hardly went at all last year as I was working on Wednesdays, so it was great to see lots of familiar faces and get to know some new ones. The children took an Orchard Toys rocket game and played several games with various friends. There was a handball coaching session in the sports hall which the children really enjoyed. Tabitha is often very clingy and shy in group situations, but she ran around following instructions from the coach, ate her lunch at the opposite end of the room from me and then spent the rest of the afternoon playing babies and listening to stories with a friend!
By the time we got home it was almost dinner time. I tried to setup a Stargazing Live episode for the children to watch on the tablet while I was cooking, but had to give up due to technical difficulties! Instead Aaron did some Reading Eggs lessons on my computer for the first time in months. In the evening the children went to Wednesday Club at the church, where they learnt about moths and Tabitha was awarded a Bible for good attendance.
Tomorrow will probably be a quiet day at home, apart from Aaron's piano lesson in the afternoon and a visit to see Great-Grandma. The children will be tired after so much running around today, and I need to catch up on housework and crack on with essay writing!

New old stock K Sabatier hand made Nogent / cuisine massive style (the Thiers term for this style, Nogent was a rival knife making city). These knives were hand forged and hand ground in Theirs France in the 1950's. Thin and light with good edge life and excellent sharpenability with the original handles, not glued together from stray blades and handles. These knives have been cleaned up and stamped with an old K Sabatier mark but are otherwise as they were made in the 1950's. Discover why French knives were the choice for professionals back when these were made, great cutting feel and easy sharpening! Hand forged in the 1950's on a 19th century water powered mechanical hammer these knives were forgotten in storage until recently. Lighter and springier than their modern contemporaries with a harder temper they hold their edge longer without being more difficult to sharpen. If you are a fan of vintage French knives these are a real find.
Being handmade, there are a few differences between knives. Some are lighter and some are a little heavier. It must be noted they have small imperfections that would be consistent with handmade knives of their day: slight waviness in edge or slightly out of flush bolster-ferrule. It should also be noted the wood is a bit dry from all the years in storage, and the root-based dye on the beechwood handles can come off on hands for the first several uses. If you can deal with these small issues you are rewarded with a knife that has a great cutting feel and is truly a piece of history!
Thiers, France at the Aine & Perrier Sabatier works. Aine & Perrier Sabatier (aka K Sabatier) has remained a family run business since its inception in the 1830's. The registered K trademark was recorded in 1834, making them arguably the oldest of the many Sabatier companies.

Choosing the Perfect Hair Straightening Iron
Beautiful, Straight Hair.
Different Types of Flat Irons
There are a few different types of flat irons that you should be aware of. First off, there are the cheaper, drugstore versions. These irons bring to mind the classic "you get what you pay for" line. Usually, they have metal plates and low wattages. They have a tendency to snag your hair, and what's worse, since you have to make so many passes to get your hair straight, you usually end up doing lots of damage to it, caused by heating it so much.
Things You Should Be Looking For
Your hair curls because of hydrogen bonds in its cortex. These bonds clump together and make your hair twist and kink into random shapes at the molecular level which in turn makes it appear curly at a distance. The best way to break these bonds is with heat. The type of heat you're looking for would depend on your hair, generally as low as possible to avoid damage over time, but more importantly, consistent heat is what we're looking for here. Also, some people will have hair that requires much higher amounts of heat than others. Another factor to consider is the quality of the iron. Low quality irons will usually have plates that crumble over a short amount of time. The major problem with this, aside from uneven heat, is that your hair will get stuck in the cracks and rip out. That doesn't sound like fun for anybody! So, overall, you should be looking for an iron that distributes heat evenly, and quality plates, and can get very hot when needed.
A CHI Ceramic Flat Iron
The Best are Ceramic Flat Irons!
Ceramic flat irons satisfy all of these requirements:
- They are able to reach very high heat levels in seconds!
- They have high quality plates, that last forever and do not crack!
- The surface of the plates is very smooth, and won't catch your hair!
- The heat generated is distributed very evenly through the ceramic plates!
They may be a little more expensive, but as said before, "You get what you pay for!"
Straightening your hair with a ceramic iron even takes less time and is more efficient, and less damaging to your hair. Also, if you think about it, a professional straightening is VERY expensive! Even though ceramics aren't cheap, they are justifiable since they cost about as much as 1 or 2 pro straightenings, and will give you professional results at home. Ask any hair stylist, and they'll tell you that ceramic is a must!

Skyrim: Dawnguard DLC Review: Fus Ro Fun
Rachel Gray / Jul 6th, 2012 3 Comments
Let's be real, Dawnguard, the downloadable content expansion for The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim on XBox 360, is worth the money. It offers multiple hours of new gameplay, new characters, new perks, new everything. It's not a surprise Bethesda just produced another fantastic story and game add-on, but I really recommend readers check this game out (assuming you aren't playing it now!).
I know PS3 and PC gamers aren't getting the opportunity to play this yet, thus I've tried my best to leave out major perks in this review. But take my word for it, this DLC rules and I had a lot of fun being a villain vampire and eating humans. I also increased my overall villainy by reloading an old save point and slaying all of the vampires I'd just befriended. Does this sound fun? Yeah, it's "FUS RO FUUUN!"
Believe it or not, more chaos has erupted in Skryim. Amidst a civil war and killer ancient dragons, inconsiderate vampires have begun scouring the mountains for human blood. In retaliation, a group of common men and warriors called the Dawnguard have pledged to eviscerate these blood fiends from their Nordic lands. The Dawnguard is led by Isran, a rogue Vigilant of Stendarr recruiting anyone to help end the vampiric threat. But their immortal enemy, the vampire clan of Volkihar, has uncovered a dastardly plan to not only stop the Dawnguard, but eat everyone they know. Without spoiling awesome plot twists, the player's choices summarize like so: fight alongside your human companions to save Skyrim or help the nightstalkers acquire formidable, world-ending strengths. Be aware, the Lord vampire Harkon will tempt your Skyrim hero to join his cause by offering some considerably badass perks. Meanwhile, diva Isran gives you and everyone else a sassy attitude. Simply put, the Dawnguard DLC is a classic tale of good versus evil with great story surprises and cool additions.
In my personal experience, Dawnguard gameplay was awesome. There were no game glitches and only light lagging in my gameplay. However, some major glitches have been reported by other players. I've read multiple forum posts about glitches preventing quest completion or gameplay. Dawnguard is a new DLC and glitches should be anticipated but I suspect Bethesda will release updates and patches for the glitches reported on their forums. Aside from glitches hampering Dawnguard, there are a ton of new additions with the DLC: places, companions, monsters, weapons, armors, shouts. A few personal favorites were Castle Volkihar, gargoyles, and crossbows. Obviously, the crossbow add-on is for ranged combat and caters to people who want to stay the hell away from that giant, angry gargoyle. The crossbow was stronger than my traditional bow, the reload time was faster, and my Dovahkiin looked awesome with it. Archery perks are carried over to the crossbow too, so you're still just as badass with either bow. Painfully, my bow badassery claimed the life of my longtime and faithful friend, Kharjo. One night while I was clumsily learning how to wield my new weapon and Kharjo was defending us from hungry vampire heathens, the unspeakable happened. On June 27, at 12:28am, my courageous feline companion accidentally cross-stepped into my cross-hairs and was instantly killed by my sneak shot; a bow blow meant for the vampire behind him. After screaming to the heavens, I said my goodbyes and to this day wear his moon amulet around my neck. May Talos guide you, my dear friend Kharjo.
Anyway, even though the crossbow rules so hard it killed my friend, I'd be willing to bet that the most anticipated and appreciated addition was the face sculptor. The guys over at Bethesda created a character down in Riften's Ragged Flagon who is capable of reconstructing your hero's mug. So that heinous overbite that looked so good in pre-Helgen and so bad post-Helgen no longer has to embarrass you! And after spending 1k gold just to change my hair color, I felt lonely and replaced the void of Kharjo with my own personal armored battle troll! Personal battle trolls are new, cute companions but I'm confused as to why I can only tell my "Frank the Battletroll" to sit, come, and "get lost." He may be a troll but he probably still has feelings. Regardless, I don't want to spoil too many perks of the DLC for all you PS3 and PC players. Let me just say that Castle Volkihar is really metal on the inside and, if I could, I would have romanced Harkon if he wasn't 1) evil and 2) crazy.
If you've been playing Skryim, you'll see the continuation of its art and mechanics in Dawnguard. For as large and as diverse as Skyrim is, the engine and graphics of Dawnguard are superb. The world Bethesda has created never ceases to amaze me. At some point, every Elder Scrolls player has stopped running through the woods to look up at the breathtaking stars and moons. We've all climbed the peaks of mountains to survey the glory of Skyrim and fussed with camera angles to get the perfect view of our characters. We've all spent at least 20 minutes picking the meanest face scar for our heroes, only to decide we really can't decide. The amount of creativity and meticulous detail in Dawnguard is beautifully and intelligently presented. From massive underground cathedrals to the little dangling legs of torchbugs, Bethesda may be the king of bringing art to life. Whenever my Skryim companion gasps at the scenery, quipping he has never seen anything so remarkable, I audibly agree from the front of my television, my eyes glued to the screen. Graphics are gorgeous, smooth, and make me wish Tamriel were real. I think it's important to appreciate the beauty of Skyrim and the artistic minds who created it for us. There is a real talent embedded in this game and its worth deep admiration. I mean it, the graphics are badass. You have got to play this DLC. My vampire form is siiiick!
Sound can really make or break a game but it's no surprise the sound in Dawnguard rules. The instrumental soundtrack is gorgeous as you wander, battle, and shoot fireballs at deer. I think it's important the art matches the music and both are marvelous in Dawnguard. I heard a few new voices and recognized beloved old ones from previous games. Gargoyles sound super spooky but they're so cool I would dip into sneak mode, seek one out, and just watch it sulk. The nature sounds are realistic and very calming. Although I'm a deadly, sexy archer I really love sitting by a brook or waterfall to reminisce about my adventures with Kharjo. If I haven't mentioned this exactly 4 times already, you should definitely invest time and money into this DLC.
This DLC is expansive and chock full of surprises. Fans and newcomers can feel good paying for this expansion because you can tell Bethesda cares about its gamers. With the story and graphics it's obvious Bethesda is concerned about making quality, creative, exciting games in which I can lose myself. I feel like Bethesda cares about me and my expectations for their game. What I'm saying is Dawnguard delivers. If you're hesitant about spending $20 on a DLC, just know that this content gives you a lot more than $20 worth of adventure. I highly recommend Dawnguard and am proud to be racking up its Xbox360 achievements. Thanks and awesome job, Bethesda.
Dedicated to Kharjo, the best friend I ever had and ever accidentally murdered.

The mighty Dave Jones is ill this week (oi noi!) so Jeff Keyzer of Mighty Ohm is standing in for him. Chris Gammell does a rather good job of hosting, even if his impression of an Aussie sounds more like Dick van Dyke in Maary Parpins. Cor blimey luvvaduck applesandpears etc.
Congratulations guys on hitting the 1000 listener mark, I'm sure it'll be hitting the 10k mark before long! Some of the stuff they are talking about includes:
Analogue design geekyness - remember that no matter how big digital gets, the real world will always be analogue.
A look at the new Arduino Uno board which may or may not look like a packet of something-for-the-weekend-sir. I'm going to post an article on the cult of the Arduino sometime soon. It won't be a tech level posting, because I think the Arduino's importance is at a higher level than that. Right now it seems that Arduino are having one or two growing pains.
Along with Chris, I had never heard of Silicon Chip magazine. I think the publishers are really missing a trick not publishing in the UK. Since the 1980s, the number of electronics magazines hitting W.H.Smith and other news stands has gone from 8 or so a month to 1. The trade mags have turned from being technical information into pages of adverts with less and less effort going into the articles, something I am always mentioning to people. They are turning the 'treeware' magazine industry into something dusty, stale and irrelevant.
Oh, by the way guys, it is pronounced rooter not rowter ;)

Never think little of skin cancer. Some people are not aware of it at an early stage of skin cancer development. They think that skin disorder they have is just ordinary skin disease. Most patients with skin cancer consult doctors after skin cancer has developed into more serious phase. Skin cancer is hard to be cured since cancer has destroyed other parts of the body. The only possible way to remove the cancer is that patients should have the cancer-destroyed skin operated on. Other methods are possible, but the result is not satisfactory.
There are three types of skin cancer—basal carcinoma, squamous carcinoma, and melanoma. Basal carcinoma is caused by excessive direct sunlight. This type of skin cancer does not spread to other parts of the body. On the other hands, squamous carcinoma and melanoma spread to the other parts of the body. Squamous carcinoma is mainly caused by the damaged under skin cell, which creates black spot under the skin.
Melanoma may develop from pigment cell of a mole. Excessive direct sunlight may deteriorate the condition.
Generally, skin cancer attacks more men than women. Almost 1 million skin cancer cases are reported every year, and most skin cancer cases were reported to be caused by ultra violet rays. Although, skin cancer can be cured at an early stage, one should caution against excessive direct sunlight.
From now on to avoid skin cancer, precaution should be taken when you want to go out in the sun. Make sure you have a hat on, wear long-sleeved shirt or tea shirt. Use skin lotion whenever possible. Consume a lot of yellow and orange vegetable, sweet potatoes. Have aloe vera and wheat germ juice everyday. Avoid fat, sugar, and coffee. If you like you can try Royal Jelly and ginseng Siberia tea as your additional diet.

Breastfeeding Charlie - it Took a Village: UPDATED
Twelve months after publishing Breastfeeding Charlie - It Took a Village to celebrate World Breastfeeding Week, I am busy preparing to present it at the Australian Breastfeeding Association national conference Liquid Gold. A year ago, Charlie was just five months old and the twist in the story happened not long after I published, so here is the updated version.

"At Four Seasons, our design approach continues to evolve as we provide the luxurious comfort, technology and flexibility our guests want," says General Manager Olivier Thomas. "Four Seasons is more than a hotel – it's a place where people come to work, play, meet and explore. We set the stage, and then customise the experience of each guest who walks through our doors; we believe that personalisation is the true essence of modern luxury."
The all-new Foster + Partners designed building features interiors by G.A Design, with signature restaurant design by EDG. A vibrant gathering place for locals as well as international visitors, the 186-room Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca also offers three restaurants and bars, a lavish spa, a resort-like pool oasis, and expansive event spaces.
Intimately scaled, it's also a showcase for original works commissioned from contemporary artists by art consultant Marta García-Fajardo. Artists included renowned Moroccan ceramicist Myriam Mourabit, whose designs include intricately beaded vases created especially for Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca. Additional decorative pieces include ceramic murals by Spain's Terra Lume studio in the Hotel's courtyard and spa, and a mural in Bleu restaurant by Canadian studio Moss & Lam, which has designed original pieces for Four Seasons hotels around the world. Paintings and prints by Carlos Regalado, Diego Vallejo, Luisa Valdés, Igone Urquiza, Gaby Selby and Fátima Conesa are on display throughout the Hotel's public spaces and guest rooms.
"The initial inspiration was to create a unique Hotel with a real sense of place - dramatic contrasts between light and dark, pattern and texture, and local artisan details and engineered forms that give rise to contemporary interiors united by the distinctive architecture," says David Clixby, lead designer and Senior Associate at G.A Design. "The Hotel evokes a journey through the souk, bringing quality and surprise to guests as they explore the spaces."
Conceived as a destination for in-house guests and locals alike, the Hotel's signature restaurant is the modern Mediterranean brasserie Bleu. A key design element arose directly from the restaurant's concept: an elliptical open cooking station where chefs prepare the freshest seafood to order over a charcoal grill. Additional crudo and other culinary stations are arrayed like sculptures in a space defined by curves inspired by the ocean waves seen through its floor to ceiling windows and glass-walled terrace.
"As a vibrant economic hub and port city, Casablanca is steeped in history yet very much future oriented. Our design for Bleu evokes this essence in a distinct and modern way while capturing the imagination of travellers, locals and foodies of all persuasions," says Jennifer Johanson, CEO and President of EDG. "It was a unique opportunity for us to work with Four Seasons on this signature experience."
The coastal theme begins with Moss & Lam's mural of ceramic mussel shells along an arching wall leading into Bleu, and continues through flowing sculptural forms reminiscent of sea shells, coves and waves. The colour palette is bright, with white plaster pairing with the endless blue sky and ocean outside. The sensuous, organic lines are in direct contrast to the building's crisp elegance, welcoming guests into a lively dining experience. Playful accents found at local bazaars add Moroccan textures, while traditional rugs with contemporary patterns warm white marble floors. Banquette seating is convivial, with cosy brown leather upholstery encouraging relaxed meals with friends, colleagues and family.
The effect is energetic – the perfect setting for interaction between the culinary team led by Executive Chef Thierry Papillier and their guests. With wide terraces and fresh ocean breezes beckoning, diners are encouraged to move around indoors and out.
Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca emerges as a welcome oasis in Morocco's most dynamic city

Information that a medication administration record includes are the patient's information, a drug name and the dosage, reports Assessment Technologies Institute. It must also include the medication route, the time and the assessment information that a nurse collects during administration, such as blood pressure. The record also includes the nurse's initials, the patient's response to the medication and if any medications were withheld and the reasons for withholding medications, if applicable.
The medication administration record can be in paper form or computerized form, which sometimes uses a bar-code system, according to the Assessment Technologies Institute. The pharmacy department usually creates and distributes the medication administration record every 24 hours. If there is a medication error, a nurse must fill out a medication incident report that includes the patient information, description of what happened and the patient's condition. The nurse's signature must also be on the medication incident report.
Some health care providers use computerized charting and medication administration records, notes Assessment Technologies Institute. A computerized medication administration record is beneficial because providers can view all of a patient's information in one location, including admission and discharge information. When a nurse uses the bar-code method, she scans her identification badge, the patient's identification bracelet and the bar code on the medication label with a handheld scanner. The scanner then sends the information to the computerized medication administration record.

The only option position we have to review in May is Freeport McMoRan Copper and hermes replica Gold Inc. (FCX). I am recommending that we roll FCX May $40 put for $7.50 and sell the FCX Aug $40 put for $8.20. Recall prada handbags that we entered the first position at $38.38. The FCX May $40 call will expire Friday allowing us to recognize a profit of $1.42. The FCX $40 put was originally sold for $2.91. In a less rolex replica volatile market I wouldn't be opposed to accepting delivery of the FCX shares based on the forward P/E of 6.23, $4 Billion in levered free cash flow, and anticipated yield of 3.5%. Rolling the option to August keeps cash free to take advantage of opportunities replica chanel we may spot in other stocks and potentially earn an extra $0.70 if our original premise plays out.

Present: Cynthia Bowker, Will Chaney, Bill Covey, Debra Harris, Winston Harris, Bobbie Meng, Suzy Shaw, Hilton Soto, Geoffrey Stewart, Ying Tang
Review Minutes of 2/5/01
- House Bill 369 - Bill sent an email summary to the Systems staff about the House Bill regarding State of Florida employees. This is not a law, and is unlikely to be enacted as currently worded. However, there is no way of knowing its probability of passing, or the sort of changes that may be made. Bill's personal opinion is that some sort of major change in the rules for state employees is highly likely this year.
- Windows 2K Training - Bill attended a MS-provided training session for three days at the Live Stock Pavilion on campus. (While in attendance, he got to see Donkey Basketball practice at the Pavilion.) The instructor was a consultant who has seen installations and is confident about the success rate, but is a bit cautious about migration. On the public machines, Winshield can be gotten around. (Bill witnessed this at the demo.) Centurion Guard installs have hardware redirect. With Win2K, it does seem like we will be able to lock down the public machines without the use of Winshield or Centurion Guard. W2K lets you lock down with group policies. Discussion followed about roaming profiles. Bill foresees a fairly easy transition on work stations. The instructor does not believe in upgrades at the server level - he advises to take it down to the bare metal and then back up. He also sees no need to go to Exchange 2K (mail). Overall, Bill is guardedly optimistic about the upcoming transition as long as we can make this an independent venture and do not have to be under one, overall UF management. With a centralized administration, we may not be able to lock out group vs. organization. NERDC is scared of dynamic DNS upgrades and will not turn it on at the root level of ufl.edu, but we may be able to do it at the domain level. Account creation & access lists are still difficult to set up. Scripting is extremely powerful.
- Suzy has set up an online Systems calendar to record staff leave time. SYSOUT is the userid in Outlook. This gets rid of Bill's paper book. Bill, Will & Winston will have editing capability.
- Systems furniture was ordered on January 11.
Ongoing Systems Updates
- Health Science Center - PAULA request: Winston packaged the code and sent it to Mark Patrick.
- Nets #4 - Erich's Apaches: one is up and running, three are being made ready. He has requested the installation of the second one.
Equipment Received/Installed/Repaired
Support Issues and Liaisons
- Need to order network cards - Geoffrey will get with Andy this afternoon.
- A cracked Visor was returned this morning - will order 3 more - one for replacement, 2 for the shelf.
- Dell order - remaining 20 of the first order of 30: Debra checked the Dell Order Watch, both batches of 10 should be arriving this week.
- The second order of 30 Dells is still not registering on the Dell Order Watch.
- Refurbished monitors - Geoffrey contacted Dell & was informed that if an order is older than 30 days then they can replace it with refurbished machines. We'll need to inform the Liaisons that they'll need to pick up, open and install machines as quickly as possible in order to make the time window for returns. We still have the new, wiggly monitors from this order as well as the refurbished ones. We'll keep the refurbished monitors & return the problematic ones.
- Marvin had a new Dell that he received on January 10 - came out of the box DOA. After 40 days Dell won't ship a pre-installed hard drive. They are going to be sending a bare HD. This is another reason to inform the Liaisons about a 2-week installation window.
- Geoffrey is playing with an E1000 & E3000 to get them up to Win'98. He'll start with the E1000.
- Problems with Digital - The following incidents, as recorded by Bobbie Meng, occurred in the Libraries during the months of January and February 2001 in the areas which Digital/USI wiring crews were working:
Rm 229 West - Telephone server machine - accessed, Paint program utilized to draw six caricatures with the following labels applied below the matching caricature - jimmy krash, abe "donky kong", jd chinese brother #1, rob mighty mouse, vince the "vulture", tim lional. This is saved to the server entitled TheGroup. Another drawing of scribbles is saved as untitled. Accessing this machine could have brought down the entire telephone system in Library West.
Rm 273 West - USI working in area during weekend of 2/3, lock on door was discovered taped down on Monday morning, cpu used with multi-media housed in area, gutted of internal parts.
Rm 273 West - USI working in area during weekend of 2/17, 6" core drills in floor completed, left carpet partially covering holes in floor, holes left totally open - extreme safety hazard. Also, was to be a dry bore, classroom containing computers below had water spatters on chairs, computers were apparently not covered, had debris on the machines. Area not cleaned up after work was complete.
Com closets - Rm 124, 219, 229 and 251 West - soda cans, food wrappers, wiring debris left in closets.
Rm 198 West hallway - Insulation on network wires stripped off, bare wires.
Com closet Rm 124 West - Network wires with insulation partially stripped.
Preservation area, Library East - Keyboard to a $25,000 piece of equipment was knocked off stand into camera equipment.
Preservation area, Library East - Staff machine accessed, changes to screen saver saved.
Systems conference Rm 19F - USI bored holes to install conduit for fiber, installed conduit in one hole, other hole is still open, Systems staff cleaned up the mess left in the area. Holes need to have smoke seal and fire insulation.
Library East - 2nd floor - 3 complete computer systems and 1 cpu were stolen.
Per Bobbie's conversation with Digital during which the above incidents were discussed, the decision was made (to accommodate the Library) that a Digital head supervisor will be on the job when crews are present.
- Squid Outage on Sunday - occurred around noontime - server maxed out on the number of file descriptors. Sometime this month we'll put in the new 7.1 version of Linux and Squid 2 to take care of this problem.
- Trouble Ticket history display - Hilton is working on the display, getting it to sort by name. It is not compatible with Netscape 6.0, but that is low priority.
Software Projects Status
- Wiring - projects have been moving quickly:
Fourth floor of East is ready to be terminated and pinged. Wires are being pulled on the third floor.
Conference Room West - brass plates have not been installed; core bores are done; the room is being renovated.
West 100 & 148 - wiring to be done over Spring Break.
MSL 215 - wiring to start today.
Journalism - closet started, no door installed, newspaper shelf needs to be moved out - then Facilities will put up boards on the exterior wall.
Systems - wiring completed, but they need to fix the hole in the wall in the conference room.
Old wire removal in West - removing Coax & AppleTalk. Digital has assigned a separate crew for wiring abatement.
5th floor East, stacks - awaiting electrical wiring.
- W2K servers - will use old Smathers 1 for backup, LibPreserve for the dummy.
- New server room (tape library) power - contracted; parts on order. Information gathered on electric conditioner.
- Xerox print release stations - Will has determined that it doesn't work well for over two weeks at a time - the printers end up 'dieing'. As a result, the expansion to other branches has not occurred. He will contact Xerox regarding the status of the problem.
DP Coordinator
- Binding database for Preservation - Hilton is working on it.
- Cynthia is working on the Elected Officials database.
- Ying finished the Caribbean Newspaper Project. Erich wants her to work on the Ringling Collection Project rather than getting full text searching on the Caribbean Project. Bill would like to make sure that is clear to all involved that Erich has prioritized Ringling over full text searching.
- Resource Services' use of PAULA - will try to integrate with Exchange and get away from the SQL table. Cynthia has the viewer finished, is working on the IE side. Again, low priority in developing for Netscape.
- Winston made changes to the Trouble Tickets so that it will notify the caller when a ticket has been closed.
- Debra has been working on tape disposal. Breaking the reel tapes does not seem advisable. Tina from NERDC mentioned that she removes the headers and throws them into the dumpsters. Bill will advise on method for final removal.

Rice Puddings are common to all the cuisines.The mix of rice and water/milk is commonly mixed with a sweetner and other regional ingredients and served as a celebratory dessert.Starting with the Indian Kheer or South Indian Payasam we can see several variations added to the rice-sugar -milk mix.Do check the several tongue twisting names for simple payasam in Wikipedia.
Arroz Doce or Arroz con Leite (Rice & Milk )is Portuguese sweet rice pudding.What makes it Portuguese is the use of Lemon and cinnamon.As with kheers several versions are available each one more better and richer and as tastier as the other ,some with eggs,some eggless and some with condensed milk.I have adapted mine from the eggless version seen in Recipezaar and have also referenced several other sites.
White Short Grain Rice: 1 cup
Water: 2 cups
Hot Milk: 2 cups +
Sugar: 1 cup +
Lemon zest: 1-2 lemons
Optional Ingredients:
Cinnamon stick
Butter: 1-2 tbsp
Salt: a pinch
Powdered Cinnamon
Bring water to boil in a heavy bottomed pan.Add butter and cinnamon stick to it if interested.Add rice and reduce to a simmer and let it cook till the water is reduced to half or when rice starts to cook.Then remove the cinnamon stick and add hot milk,sugar,remaining zest and continue cooking till a porridge or oatmeal consistency is reached when the rice is fully cooked and looks creamy absorbing all the milk and water.Remove from heat.You can serve it warm itself or let it cool or even chilled.Upon cooling it thickens again.If you like to have a thinner consistency then add more milk as needed.
Serve garnished with cinnamon powder.You can give designs with cinnamon powder.I simply sprinkled it atop .
If you want eggy version,then once oatmeal consistency is reached,you add atleast 2 eggyolks to this.You can find eggy version here.The addition of eggs makes the dish more rich and yellowy.Mine looks creamy and not yellow.If you want to make it more rich but eggless,you can add little condensed milk reducing the sugar.I used butter just to make it a bit rich.
Now a cinnamony lemony creamy rice pudding.A perfect start to 2010.After a short & much needed break,I am back and am ready to rock 2010 (er not literally!) with a dish having my favourite spice: Cinnamon. And obviously a perfect dessert entry to AWED:Portuguese,an event by Dear DK and currently hosted by Extremely HardWorking Blogger Priya.
Update on 15 Jan 2010: Rice pudding - be it Indian Kheer/Payasam or Greek Ryzogalo or Portuguese Arroz Doce - is a comfort food and thus cinnamony Arroz Doce is also on way to SHF# 61: Sweet Comforts ,an event by Jennifer the Domestic Goddess and currently at A MerrierWorld

The Rangers have momentum from winning the President's Trophy, which they earned by scoring the most regular season points. They also have momentum from winning a close conference semi-finals round against the Washington Capitals. They were the underdogs at three games to one, when they came back to win three games in a row to move on to the conference finals.
A season ago, the Rangers made it to the Stanley Cup finals but lost in the finals to the Los Angelos Kings. This season the Rangers statistical evaluation is better than last season and they are more prepared for the Stanley Cup finals. The Rangers know that it will require a lot of work and are determined to make it.
The New York Rangers have shown pluck and determination throughout the Stanley Cup playoffs, and this will give them the needed push to reach the finals. The Stanley Cup finals will be similar to last year with teams from New York and the greater Los Angeles area playing for Lord Stanley's cup.
I believe that the New York Rangers are going to choke on Friday, because they don't have the talent that the Tampa Bay Lightning have. Also the Rangers have been bad at home, and I feel that the Lightning are bigger, faster, stronger, and younger. They will come more prepared and the Rangers will fall flat on their face.

Nissan to launch diesel Maxima in United States in 2010
20 April 2007
Nissan announced plans to launch its first clean diesel engine in the United States for use in the Nissan Maxima in 2010. The all-new Alliance engine co-developed with Renault will meet the US EPA Tier 2 Bin 5 emissions requirements.
Nissan will also introduce more diesel engines in its product lineup in Europe, Japan, North America and China. Nissan already has diesel engines in Europe. During the first half of fiscal year 2007, Nissan will introduce a new Euro 4, 2-liter-class diesel engine in Europe. By fiscal year 2010, Nissan will launch diesel vehicles in Japan, the United States and China.
This initiative is part of Nissan's plan to reduce CO2 emissions for the future as outlined in Nissan Green Program 2010, the company's mid-term environmental strategy. Nissan will be investing in a variety of technologies including fuel cell cars, hybrid cars, biofuel-based cars, electric vehicles, improvement in gasoline engines and clean diesels.
Other manufacturers that have announced Tier 2 Bin 5 diesel cars for the North American market, to be launched over the period 2008-2010, include Mercedes-Benz, Honda, BMW, Volkswagen and Audi. All of the Tier 2 Bin 5 models are expected to be equipped with particulate filters, while NOx emissions will be controlled using urea-SCR or NOx adsorbers, the latter technology expected to be used mostly in smaller size engines. As progress in advanced combustion technologies continues, the Tier 2 NOx emission standards may be also met without NOx aftertreatment in future diesel cars.

I must admit, when I first noticed a pair of crocs shoes on someone I said to myself, I will never wear those things, just look at them!
Well, things change and soon I found myself with a pair of crocs on my feet. The first place that I saw crocs was at hospitals. It seemed to me that every nurse and doctor had a pair of them on their feet. What did it for me was when they began showing up on the feet of fishermen.
When I asked each person what the crocs they were wearing were made of, I always received the same answer, "I don't know."
They looked like they were made of rubber. But I needed to investigate this. A quick visit to the website gave me the following information. The following quote is taken directly from crocs.com:
"All Crocs shoes are uniquely designed and manufactured using the company's proprietary closed cell resin, Croslite, a technology that gives each pair of shoes the soft, comfortable, lightweight, non-marking and odor resistant qualities that Crocs wearers know and love."
I immediately had to buy a pair of these shoes. On the first trip out on my boat wearing them I realized that the Croslite was very good at gripping the fiberglass that my boat is made of. It would even grip it when wet. The holes in the shoe prevented my feet from sweating in the summer heat and it was easy to slip on and off. I was an instant believer in these shoes.
I though that I would never wear crocs again once I moved up to Alaska, but guess what I discovered? Crocs has a lined shoe as well. In the Men's Fuzz and Lined line of crocs shoes, there is a shoe called the Blitzen Polar. What I like about this is that it is warm. The liner really does keep my feet warm even in sub-zero temperatures. Also, the croslite is 100% waterproof. That is what I need since eight months out of the year I am constantly walking through snow. An added bonus is that this shoe is very easy to take off. This is another added bonus since most Alaskans insist that you take off your shoes when you enter their house!
Here are a few more products that Crocs has available for men:
Crocs Prepair II Clog:
Don't be fooled by the use of the word "Clog". These shoes are comfortable. They look like a new age sandle, with the classic crocs strap across the back, you will look styling! These shoes are designed to assist your feet in recovering after a rigorous athletic activity. They have strategically positioned massage pods that will make your feet feel like new, even after a long run.
Rx Custom Cloud:
These shoes are very popular with people who have jobs where that have to stand for long periods of time. They feature a strap both in from and in back of the foot, and have extra room for moldable orthotics.
Yukon Men's:
This is one of those shoes that is made to be as tough as it's namesake. The Crocs Yukon uses a leather upper for durability and an adjustable heel strap for a superior fit. This is the shoe to wear if you are going to be out in tough conditions like you will find in the Yukon Territory of Canada.
When I think about Crocs, I think about the Bistro. This is the traditional Crocs shoe. With its heel strap that can be moved to the front, for easy on and off, this shoe has something for everyone. This was the very first type of Crocs that I ever owned.
If you have never owned a pair of Crocs shoes , you are really missing out. Nowadays, Crocs have something for every taste. They are so popular that I am certain you will be able to find them in a shoe store near you!
A large selection of crocs can be found here

The new Basic line is a slimmer 2-page case that is still full size. The All Circulars Basic case (surprise!) holds all fixed circulars in 14 snap closed pockets. The Interchangeable Basic case holds 2 full sets of tips plus cables (or one full set and lots of extras in your favorite sizes). The Multi-Purpose Basic case I think is going to be one of my favorites. It has the 7 snap pockets for either fixed circulars or cables, and 13 graduated size slots that can hold dpns or hooks or tips up to 6" in length.
If you have ideas for more new products be sure to let us know!

Ryan: If Obama 'can't change Washington' we need to change presidents
MIAMI, Fla. -- GOP vice presidential hopeful Paul Ryan ridiculed President Obama Saturday, claiming the commander in chief himself
said he doesn't have what it takes to get the job done.
"Just a couple days ago on Univision, President
Obama admitted that he 'can't 'change Washington from the inside.' Why do we
send presidents to the White House in the first place," Ryan quipped
during a rally at the Versailles Restaurant in Little Havana.
"I mean, we send presidents to change and fix the
mess in Washington. And if this president has admitted that he can't change
Washington, then you know what, we need to change presidents," Ryan said
to a roar of applause.
The Wisconsin congressman was standing
shoulder-to-shoulder with some of Florida's most powerful Republicans here -
including former Governor Jeb Bush - who called the president's comments
Team Obama argues that during his interview Thursday the
president was really talking about engaging the American public outside of
Washington in order to initiate the pressure needed to transform big proposals
into laws.
It's a message that should sound familiar to Ryan's
running-mate. During his 2008 campaign Mitt Romney also told reporters, "I
don't think you can change Washington from the inside. I think you change it
from the outside."
The Versailles stop is the first of two rallies Ryan is
holding Saturday in the pivotal Sun Shine State - where the Republican ticket
needs to make up some ground.
According to the latest Fox News polling, President Obama
holds a five-point edge in Florida -- currently topping Mitt Romney 49-44
