1 has established a two-year scholarship using the Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP). Army nurses, regardless of specialty, care for an extremely diverse patient population in advanced medical facilities using state-of-the-art equipment. And they do so in collaboration with talented physicians, pharmacists, dietitians, therapists and other health care professionals. WHY JOIN THE ARMY? Nurses join the Army Nurse Corps for a variety of reasons both personal and professional. Some join for the continuing education opportunities, others for the opportunity to serve their country and still others for the opportunity to lead as commissioned officers in the Army. All, however, agree on one thing. Their decision is due, at least in part, to the professional growth opportunities the Army offers. A TEAM OF DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS An integral component of the U.S. Army Health Care Team, the Army Nurse Corps continues to distinguish itself from the traditional nursing field in both purpose and composition. Consisting of more than 11,000 men and women, the Army Nurse Corps is dedicated to providing high-tech, quality health care for military personnel, their families and military retirees all over the world. Ranging in age from 21 to 62, these nursing professionals vary with respect to both their backgrounds and experiences. Nearly 66 percent of active duty and Reserve nurses are married. In addition, 35 percent of active duty nurses and 28 percent of Reserve nurses are men, compared to only 5.4 percent of the nursing population at large. With regard to education, Army nurses further distinguish themselves. All active duty nurses hold at least a baccalaureate degree in nursing, while 40 percent of their Reserve counterparts share that distinction. What s more, 35 percent of active duty nurses and 20 percent of Reserve nurses hold master s degrees. That compares to a civilian nursing population in which approximately 30 percent of registered nurses have bachelor s degrees in nursing. The Army has positions available in many specialties, including obstetrics/gynecology, critical care, nurse anesthesia, community health, psychiatric/mental health, and perioperative nursing. Many Army nurses have the opportunity to gain education and experience in advanced practice nursing roles such as clinical nurse specialists, nurse practitioners, nurse midwives and nurse anesthetists. Because there is also a growing need for psychiatric nurse practitioners, the Army EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES The Army Nurse Corps encourages its nurses to improve their skills and enhance their professional experience through a variety of educational programs, including post-graduate opportunities and continuing education and specialty courses, all of which they often attend at the Army s expense. These programs not only ensure a high degree of motivation, professional opportunities and career satisfaction, but serve to maintain both the Army s high nursing standards and your level of expertise. GREATER RESPONSIBILITY Once you enter the Army, you will work with a team of talented health care professionals, all of whom are dedicated to providing the highest standard of patient care possible. As a key member of the Army Health Care Team, you will have the opportunity to excel in your area of expertise. You ll also provide a comprehensive approach to nursing for your patients. You will be in a leadership position and enjoy the privileges, pay, respect and authority of a commissioned officer in the Army. As an officer and a leader, you will lead by example in meeting the Army s high professional standards and be given a great deal of responsibility, beginning with your first assignment. You ll supervise a variety of professional and paraprofessional nursing care providers at Army health care facilities, making decisions about day-to-day patient care and ensuring that your decisions are carried out in an effective and efficient manner.

2 ADVANCEMENT As you progress in the Army, so will your professional nursing career. Army nurses earn regular increases in salary, rank and responsibility and have many opportunities to prove their abilities and potential for promotion. In fact, it s not uncommon to see a staff nurse become a head nurse in just three or four years. To help you advance professionally, the Army Nurse Corps offers courses that cover a wide range of nursing specialties. You may also apply for a master s or doctoral nursing degree program. While you re working toward your degree and taking a full course load, you may receive tuition, pay and allowances so you can focus on learning, not financial obligations. Once you complete your master s degree in a clinical specialty, you ll have the necessary credentials to take advantage of even more nursing opportunities available in the Army Nurse Corps.

The program features a strong linkage with unit-based orientation processes and clinical preceptors; ongoing learning sessions to discuss clinical and nursing leadership topics; skill development; application of critical thinking principles; and relationship building and support for effective social integration into the Army Health Care Team. This is an exciting program that offers a multitude of benefits for the new nurse to include building confidence in their nursing skills and leadership abilities; increased understanding of high-tech, high-touch nursing care; and a basic competency in nursing skills needed to work in austere deployment environments. Residency programs such as the Army Nurse Corps have been linked to improved patient outcomes and increased nurse empowerment/satisfaction.

It is designed to teach the kind of leadership and management skills that will help you in either your civilian or military career. The ROTC curriculum is divided into two parts: Basic and Advanced. The basic course is usually completed during your first two years of college after which you move on to the Advanced Course. The leadership and management skills learned through ROTC will put you far above your peers and give you the necessary experience to start your military experience as an officer. Between your junior and senior years, you can attend the Nurse Summer Training Program (NSTP), a paid three-week clinical experience at one of the Army s major medical facilities in the United States, Germany or Hawaii. It introduces you to the Army Medical Department and the roles and responsibilities of an Army Nurse Corps officer. You ll report to an Army hospital for clinical training under the supervision of your preceptor, an experienced Army Nurse Corps officer. He or she will work one-on-one with you throughout your training, which consists of hands-on experience in medical/surgical wards, intensive care units, and emergency rooms. Army ROTC offers a variety of merit based two-year, threeyear and four-year, full-tuition undergraduate scholarships. Incentives include a $900 annual allowance for books and classroom supplies and a stipend worth up to $5,000 per year in spending money. High school students seeking a bachelor s degree in nursing, or college students in an accredited baccalaureate degree program in nursing at a school affiliated with Army ROTC may compete for Army ROTC scholarships. A scholarship candidate must meet the Army s physical, academic and moral standards. Upon completion of the ROTC program and graduation from college, you ll be commissioned as a second lieutenant. Upon successful completion of your NCLEX-RN (RN state board exam for licensure) you will be brought onto active duty as an Army Nurse Corps officer ready to face the challenges of your profession. All ROTC cadets must complete degree requirements and pass the NCLEX-RN examination prior to their 30th birthday. To enroll in the Army ROTC Nurse Program or get more information, visit the Professor of Military Science of the Army ROTC program at the college of your choice. You may also call USA-ROTC or visit the Web site at armyrotc.com. ARMY NURSE CANDIDATE PROGRAM (ANCP) The Army Nurse Candidate Program (ANCP) is an alternative program for nursing students that do not meet the criteria for ROTC. Full-time nursing students with a minimum 2.5 GPA entering the final two years of an accredited bachelor of science in nursing degree program may apply. The ANCP program will provide a $10,000 sign on bonus (split disbursement) and $1,000 monthly stipend for each month enrolled in school. There is no obligation to participate in any military training prior to successful completion of the NCLEXRN exam. All ANCP participants are required to serve on active duty for a period of 4-5 years.

VIDEO=> Trump Supporters Forced to Walk Gauntlet of Abusive Far Left Mob After FL Rally
The Citizen-Times released video from Donald Trump's massive rally at the US Cellular Center in Fort Myers, Florida.
There were 8,000 Trump supporters inside the center and hundreds left outside after the arena was filled up.
The video gave equal time to the couple of hundred anti-Trump protesters as to the thousands of Trump supporters.
At Citizen Times then shows Trump supporters leaving the rally and forced to walk through the gauntlet of abusive and violent far left protesters.
Where are the police to guarantee these Americans' right to assemble?
This is the type of abuse Trump supporters are forced to deal with across the country.
And the corrupt national media NEVER reports on it.
In June several dozen Trump supporters, including women, were harassed, chased, beaten, cold-cocked, egged, knocked out after the Trump rally in San Jose.
The media ignored that too.
And #NeverTrumper Charlie Gasparino can go to hell.
Liar! No proof of this. Video shows abuse from protesters #Disgusting Any lie to help #Hillary? #sickening https://t.co/6pR5FRKoRQ

This series is absolutely adorable each with a valuable lesson taught! Each week we celebrate a student as a V.I.P. Student! **Very Important Person! Part of that is a student bringing in a favorite book and I read the book to the class. This student brought in Betty Bunny Wants Chocolate Cake! It was so great and the students LOVED it! The lesson was about patience.
A few weeks later that parent of the student gave me this book for my classroom!
Betty Bunny Wants a Goal! And of course my Kinders loved it!
This is a story teaching the lesson of working hard and not giving up! Betty wants to play soccer, but when she doesn't even touch the ball during the game she quickly thinks soccer is yucky an no fun at all. Betty Bunny's siblings explain that she can do anything if she works hard and doesn't give up!
Betty wanted to be the star of the game.
Betty tried so hard to score a goal. But she failed big time!
She wanted to give up, but her friends and family wouldn't let her.
She wanted to give up, but her friends and family wouldn't let her.
Betty practiced soccer with Bill for a whole week.
Will her practice and hard work lead her to a goal...
Or maybe something more?!
Here are a few more books from the Betty Bunny Series!
By: Michael B. Kaplan and illustrated By: Stephane Jorisch.

RV Park Reviews is now Available through the RV LIFE App on iPhones, iPads, and Android Devices.
Click Here to learn more.
Hidden Oasis RV Park, Wikieup, Arizona
Date of Stay:
October, 2015 -
Overall Rating:
We stopped off on our way south just to try something else. People in the office/deli were very friendly. Wind was blowing so a little dusty. Site was reasonably level, but tree blocked satellite. Had new 50 amp pedestals. We camped at Hidden Oasis RV Park in a Motorhome.
Not sure what a person would do here for longer than a quick overnight stay.
Crooked River Ranch RV Park, Crooked River Ranch, Oregon
Date of Stay:
August, 2010 -
Overall Rating:
Scenery was nice being near the gorge, and since we played golf at the ranch, that was nice to be nearby as well. But there ends the good part. Had reservations for 3 months for a weeks stay. They said that I was given one of the best sites in the park. What was not said is that I may not be able to get level. Well 3 spots later, I was able to find a level spot. When I asked to move to prior to finding a level one, I was told, "They are booked." They were, by our friends the week before, for only one night. To say we will not be staying here again is and understatement. We camped at Crooked River Ranch RV Park in a Motorhome.
Pueblo El Mirage RV Resort (55+ park), El Mirage, Arizona
Date of Stay:
March, 2010 -
Overall Rating:
This is a very large park, that has both areas for park models and some larger homes (up to about 2000sq ft) and a large area for RV's. We happen to be in an area that has both. People appear to be friendly here, and the facilities: swimming, laundry, exercise areas and work shops, etc., are large, clean and very nice. The sites are very large with a lot of concrete patio. We happen to back up to El Mirage road and it is pretty noisy. Also it is in the fly zone for a Air-force base, and so it is necessary at night to have a DVR so you can pause the TV while the jets are coming in. Also since we have been here a month or so, and had the rains in the area, the weeds are growing like crazy and no one seems to take care of them. Also a very negative in my opinion is the fact that there is only one dog park on site for the large number of people, so they use others sites. Most clean up the excrement. But still. We camped at Pueblo El Mirage RV Resort (55+ park) in a Motorhome.
Boise / Meridian KOA, Meridian, Idaho
Date of Stay:
July, 2009 -
Overall Rating:
The park is closed and bull dozed up... We camped at Boise / Meridian KOA in a Motorhome.
Crown Villa RV Resort, Bend, Oregon
Date of Stay:
July, 2005 -
Overall Rating:
We are fairly new to RV'ing, but have stayed in at least a dozen sites, and this has to be the Gold Standard by which all others need to be measured. Site has plenty of trees, but none that interfere with Motorhome. Amble room to maneuver and very courteous personnel. We camped at Crown Villa RV Resort in a Motorhome.

Alesis V49 | 49-Key USB MIDI Keyboard & Drum Pad Controller (8 Pads / 4 Knobs / 4 Buttons)
Free Shipping Included! Alesis V49 | 49-Key USB MIDI Keyboard & Drum Pad Controller (8 Pads / 4 Knobs / 4 Buttons) by Alesis at Play Our Music. MPN: V49. Hurry! Limited time offer. Offer valid only while supplies last. The performance-oriented Alesis V49 offers expressive hands-on control for the software musician seeking an inexpensive, compact MIDI keyboard
Product Description
The performance-oriented Alesis V49 offers expressive hands-on control for the software musician seeking an inexpensive, compact MIDI keyboard controller with expanded features.
The new V series combines velocity-sensitive keys with eight drum/trigger pads, allowing virtual instruments to be played with dynamic expression. Cool blue LEDs illuminate the pads—as well as the four assignable knobs and buttons—for positive visibility. Musicians can make assignments quickly via the MIDI Learn feature. Octave shift keys provide access to the entire note range. A single USB cable provides both a power and data connection to nearly any computer.
The V49 also comes with Software Preset/Parameter utility that makes setup a snap and includes free downloads for Ableton Live Lite 9 and Xpand!2 by AIR Music Tech.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this unit need a power supply to work?
These controllers are USB hub-powered and do not take an external power supply.
Do I need to install drivers for this to work on my PC/MAC?
No, these controllers are class-compliant meaning that they are plug-and-play and do not require a specific driver download in order to function. The V series controllers will function on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 as well as all Mac operating systems that are 10.4.11 and above. Also, because they are class-compliant, they will continue to function as Windows and Apple come out with later updates and operating systems.
What are the programmable buttons for?
Use these buttons to send MIDI CC messages to your software. They can function as momentary or toggle (latching) buttons. You can also use the V Editor software to set each button to send program and change messages to your software. See the V Editor's User Guide to learn how to do this.
Does this have pre-programmed sounds?
These controllers do not. They are midi controllers and are meant to trigger software in your computer that has sounds built into them such as Ableton, Logic ect...
What kind of sustain pedals does this use?
The V Series has a connection for a 1/4"" TS sustain pedal (Momentary non-latching footswitch). It would be helpful to have one that has a polarity switch on it in case you want to customize the way the pedal reacts when being pressed down or released.

Imported Granite Can Help To Enhance Looks In a Kitchen if Used in a Counter Top
Granite is an igneous rock that occurs naturally in a vast range of colors and textures. Granite as a stone is very strong and durable and this has led to its popularity leading to it being used in places that see a lot of traffic or places that see other continuous uses. Granite has become very commonly used as counter tops in kitchens and places that require to be maintained with a high standard of cleanliness.
Most granite that comes into the United States is imported and comes in from Africa, Brazil and Europe as well as other nations. Granite when imported will normally come in in the form of large blocks. These blocks are obtained from quarries that use techniques not involving blasting. They are then processed into tiles or slabs. The advantage of granite is that it always retains its value, is cost effective and rarely cracks or blisters. It resists stains and granite imported is available in hundreds of shades and color and even different textures. Every granite slab is unique and the patterns in it are rarely repeated. The colors never change and besides their easy to clean virtue, add a touch of class to the area where they are installed.
Imported granite can be used in counter tops either as tiles or as a single slab. Granite tiles will be available in standard sizes and thicknesses but need to be attached to wooden or other bases with the proper adhesives. Most of the cutting and polishing of such tiles is done on computer controlled machines, that ensures the required accuracy for joints. The installation has to be done with epoxy adhesives that allow for joints that are almost invisible.
Slab granite tops can be manufactured to the exact requirements of a counter and here the weight of the slab will actually determine the size. It is quite common for such slabs to have special edges and decorative features which form a permanent part of the counter top.
Granite counter tops make for surfaces that are very hard and easy to clean and maintain. Their hardness is compared to diamond, and it is actually diamonds that are used in the cutting and polishing tools that make the final product that actually fits on to your kitchen counter top. You can safely keep very hot pots and pans on a granite counter top without fear of it causing any damage like blisters. Granite never absorbs oil or hot grease, especially if it has been treated with a silicone impregnator. You can even use the counter top directly to knead and roll out dough, something that you will find being done in large hotel kitchens.
It is quite common to use sealants to seal the surfaces of polished counter tops made of granite, especially where the granite is of a light shade. It is also necessary sometimes to polish the stone at site after installation so that the entire surface presents a uniform look. Sealing of the surface is done after such polishing is completed.

text: My, my, but this is a strange August in the National Football League. We keep discovering evidence that teams are showing signs of becoming humane. The Denver Broncos win our Humane Team award for a surprising act of compassion Monday night. Rookie Eric Riley, fighting to make the team, was an ''outside contain man'' on punt coverage against San Francisco. Unfortunately, he took a blow under the chin that knocked him out. His mother, Flossie, was watching the game on TV in her Fort Myers home, and we can imagine how she felt seeing her son lying motionless on the field. But her fear didn't last long. Within 10 minutes of the incident, Mrs. Riley received a telephone call from a Broncos trainer to let her know that though her son had a mild concussion, he was not in any danger. Nice going, Broncos.

Black Night
Vincent's Secret Contract
Finally the survey, after all the drama, has reached the command deck. Inside the command section are eight research labs, along with a dedicated mainframe with its own UPS-designed to avoid the lab losing data in the event of an unforeseen powerdown. Vincent is unsure how much time he'll need to get into the system, but practically he will be operating to a tight timetable-trying to extract the data before the backup power circuits go down.
The additional complication is that Vincent is working within a team-with Maria and Dmitri to be exact, and they are not to know what he is up to. As the resident electrical expert, and as it would be up to him to check these computer systems anyway it is easy enough to convince them that he is doing a power boot on the emergency system to make his work a lot easier, and he should be able to do some of the diagnostics online anyway. The team split up the work tasks, with Maria and Dmitri doing the physical checks, and Vincent doing the diagnostics.
The Research Main Terminal is situated in Research Lab E, which also has a direct plexiglass view into the corridor, Main Mission control and Research Lab F. With the passwords he is given, accessing the system is pretty straightforward and only takes a few minutes. The real problem is that the system has supposedly been wiped, and the information Vincent is looking for is supposedly hidden underneath some of these wiped files.
He speculates on why this happened; obviously the person who did this could not or would not extract the data themselves. Possibly Maas security arrangements were very tight and the original mole could not think of a direct way to get past their security. The Mole must have worked for Maas or at least been a contractor working for them. There is no way for Vincent to know.
He sets up a cracking cycler on his intrusion deck and run an automatic search; he spends the additional time doing some genuine work as regards the survey-basic operational files and diagnostics were not wiped-just the sensitive research stuff.
Halfway through the day there is a bit of excitement when Lars team apparently discover a body in a fridge, but Vincent carries on working. About an hour later Sylvie pops in, having seen the suit lights while searching for Lars. As Vincent give her directions she looks around the lab curiously, and he notices her frown.
"What's up?" Vincent asks.
"Zis facility-it is for mining and mining research yes?" she asks. He confirms that it is.
"Zen why do these labs all look like medical labs? Or for biochemistry. It is odd, I think".
The thought had not struck Vincent but she was absolutely right-he knows she has a degree in biochemistry or some such. He gives her directions and she leaves.
The work shift is almost over, and there are maybe 5 hours of juice left in the system. The others start making going back noises.
"If I power down and up again tomorrow I'll lose maybe an hours endurance on the power system", Vincent suggests, "Give me the emergency tank and I'll wait a few more hours till the electrical diagnostics are done. Send Sylvie or Marsha down to buddy me till I'm done. I want to finish this while I can."
Maria shrugs and they radio up; Sylvie comes back down before the rest of them leave.
About an hour later he finds something. He redirects the search and it all comes out. Files. Dozens of them. Vincent starts an immediate download –a process which again takes a good 20 minutes; there is a lot of stuff. He glances at some of the file names and it seems to be experimental data. Opening one of them up at random while Sylvie is out of the room shows data on organic chemistry -it means nothing to him.
With his task done Vincent winds down the routine functions and announces to Sylvie that the job is done.
His instructions now are simply to wait until he is contacted upon the ship's return to Mars.

This book really caught my attention and made me want to keep reading for a few reasons. First because I was really fooled and didn't really realize where the author was taking the story part way through the book. I also enjoyed the gripping mystery and suspense that presented it's self through the book and kept me reading! I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mystery and suspense and learning about historical events.

As I sit here and type as if my stream of consciousness had a direct link to my fingers (and yet you read on?), I realize that Melvin has never heard the sound of his daughters' names. What other-worldliness he must live in. In fact, to him, their names are something else entirely: a hand sign, a lip movement, or perhaps, a scent. I am reminded of the Biblical account of Jacob tricking his father Issac into giving him the blessing of his older brother Esau. Some Old Testament scholars, in fact, think that Issac actually had a third son, not mentioned in the Bible, whose name was also Melvin. But I digress...
The purpose of this post was not to wax philosophically like, say, the deep-thinking salon attendant that did my back that one time, but instead to celebrate the arrival of a new computer to post new photos from Honduras! One of my students compiled several hundred shots from every one's cameras, so now I have many good images to share with you. We will start with Melvin.
This is Brian and Melvin after a hard day's work on the hydrogenerator canal. It was sorta like the Panama canal, only smaller and made of PVC pipe. Despite it's smaller size, our canal was a lot of hard work to construct. Brian and Melvin were two of our strongest workers, as you can see below.
I include this photo to show that Brian was, in truth, a strong young man. He was able to lift large styrofoam blocks like this one for hours at a time. My point, while covered in layers of absurdity, is this: that Brian said Melvin was the strongest and hardest-working person he had ever worked alongside. And Brian picks up boulders, so he must be strong himself.
It looks like Melvin is cooling off in the river, but actually, he is protesting the way the United States is interfering with democracy in Honduras. He told me, through hand signals, that he plans to sit in the river as a silent protest until Hilary Clinton brings him a hearing aide paid for by socialized medicine. Or at least I think that's what he said.

Internet Service Provider: Orange Broadband
ISP Website URL: http://orangebroadband.orange.co.uk/
Review of Orange ISP:
Their basic plan starts at £10.00 for individuals who are not yet an Orange subscriber. For existing customers, they only need to pay for £5 a month and £13.50 line rental. With this plan, you can already enjoy unlimited calls within UK during off peak and unlimited broadband usage. The wireless router, called Orange Bright Box will be provided at no cost too for new Orange customers and offers the ultimate in router speed and performance.
The Orange Bright Box Router (R.R.P £95) will provided to all new Orange customers from 25th January 2012 and has a range of 250 metres and wireless speeds up to 300Mbps. It also has two built in antennas that use Wireless N technology to avoid interference from other household electrical devices. This wireless router also has 4 Ethernet ports (10/100 Mbps). Also, the WiFi router has an USB port (USB 2.0) that you can use to securely share media files on your network, or stream films on multiple wireless devices (Apple iPhone, iPad3, Notebooks and smartphones) around the house or even in the garden.
The average UK speeds for Orange broadband plans start at 14 Mbps, as from May 2012 many UK providers can't state the eoeup to 24Mbe statement as they have to show the average speed they can provide in the UK. This is a decent performance when used at home. However, it is not recommended for people who demand high speed for their online activities like online gaming (Xbox360, PS3, PC, Wii), downloading (Bit torrent, IRC, Newsgroups) and streaming (BBC iPlayer, AppleTV, Netflix). If you are also looking for superfast internet connection, Orange may not be the company for you.
Some customers have had issues with dropping internet speed. Their customer support may be quick in addressing the problems but it is quite annoying to be constantly bothered by fluctuating speed and dropouts.
Orange offers a practical choice for people who are looking for bundled internet service and phone service. After all, their rates remain pocket-friendly. For more complex online demands, there are a few customers who have expressed their disappointment because they are only getting half the determined speed (almost 7 to 8 Mbps only). On the plus side, the unlimited usage allowance is a good addition to the packages.
Benefits of Orange Broadband:
e Usage allowance is not restrictive because they are all quoted as unlimited (with fair use policy).
e Well packaged broadband deals, easy to understand and well laid out.
e Pocket-friendly rates, one of the cheapest deals on the market.
e Good customer support, with helpful FAQ's.
Disadvantages of Orange Broadband:
e Varying promised speeds and occasional down time have been reported.
e There is no option for superfast internet connections like fibre (FTTC).
Recommendations for Orange Broadband:
e Maybe add Live Support to the website so customers can quickly ask questions about how to sign up to Orange or how to change broadband provider.
Overall Score:
5 out of 10

Ruby wanted to do some painting, so we found some cardboard things to paint and both the girls got to work. Marlise didn't really need the tissue box that I purposely emptied for her coz it was more fun painting her arm, obviously !
And later, somebody got caught out sitting on the table having the time of her life with a spoon and the last little bit of chocolate icecream - thankyou big sister for giving it to her !!
Cheeeeeeze !!
And while all this was happening, my little fenugreek sprouts were quietly growing.
Fenugreek sprouts
I made sourcream for the first time by adding 1 tsp of store bought sourcream ( left over from the night before) to 500mL of cream. Mixed them gently together, put a lid on the container and left it for 24 hrs on the bench. Next day, thick sourcream. It was so good with the nachos we had last night !
Homemade sourcream
Ok, look at this picture, do you think she's giving me a hint ?? She wants to go swimming maybe ?? And she insisted on wearing the jumper even though it's hot and humid outside.
So we obliged. What's a weekend without some time for the beach anyway right !! The weather has been getting warmer and warmer...
OK, so now I can't make these pictures bigger anymore, how come?
Nothing beats a bucket and spade and a beach full of sand.
My little table dancer
And finally, I made some laundry liquid. I only have about one load worth of my last store bought powder left, so I made this up tonight - i've been saving the milk bottles up just for this purpose. I found the recipe here at the DOWN TO EARTH BLOG. It was so easy to make, and now I have the bottles sitting by the door cooling down. I'll try it out tomorrow.
Homemade laundry liquid - another thing I don't have to buy from the shops...love that !

Below is our Guide to Live Coverage of the 2007 Tour de France
Watching the Tour de France wherever you go
Live video streaming delivered anywhere
Thursday, July 12, 2007
I'm going to tell you about a cool product. Some of you may have heard about it. Some of you may even already have one of these boxes. Some of you, and I'm thinking in particular of the employee of the Amaury Group (owner of L'Equipe and Amaury Sport Organization (A.S.O.), organizer of the Tour de France) who has appeared numerous times in the cyclingfans.com site logs since Monday and who may have played a role in pressuring Versus into demanding that we not link to the Versus live video feed of the Tour de France, may be afraid of this product. (Bonjour, Jean-François, hope you enjoy your visit to the site today.)
A.S.O., who according to Daniel Baal in his book "Tour de France: Rêves et Réalités" ("Dreams and Realities", 2004) was so resistant to using technology at its headquarters just outside Paris that even PowerPoint wasn't an option, must be absolutely terrified of this product and the technology. Baal was Director of Cycling at A.S.O. and was to replace Jean-Marie Leblanc as director of the Tour. He gave up trying to change the organization and left in early 2004, with A.S.O. having decided that a non-journalist (Baal was a banker by trade) could not run cycling's biggest race.
I've been thinking about this product, and the technology, a lot lately, trying to decide how it might fit in to what we do at cyclingfans.com.
"Time-shifting" products like VCRs and Tivo allow you to watch programs whenever you want. "Place-shifting" products allow you to watch programs WHEREVER you want. (I tried a 3G mobile bandwidth card with my laptop on Mont Ventoux at the 2006 Dauphiné Libéré - no go, no signal up there so I couldn't connect to the internet.)
The Slingbox Tuner by Sling Media streams your television signal
to your computer anywhere in the world (You can purchase below.)
Sling Media's Slingbox Tuner is an example of a "place-shifting" device. It redirects your home television signal to your computer anywhere in the world - at work or on the road while traveling. Have Versus Tour de France coverage at home? Watch it at the office, or anywhere in the world.
It's not difficult to see how such a technology could wreak havoc with ASO's (and Versus') attempts to control how people watch which broadcasts, and where. Imagine an exchange program by which a Frenchman interested in watching U.S. broadcasts of NBA games hooks up with an American interested in watching more cycling. The Frenchman could hook up a box to his TV's signal and send live cycling to his new American friend and the latter could do the same for NBA games. Because the internet makes it so easy for sports fans worldwide to communicate, this prospect could be ASO's worst nightmare. It is difficult to see how ASO could do anything to stop it. But if ASO followed the lead of the organizers of the Giro d'Italia and at least offered low bandwidth streams for free on their website, surely that would go a long way toward undermining any illicit activity involving ASO content. Alas, Versus has long seemed so afraid of offering at least some limited live streaming themselves that perhaps PowerPoint-phobic ASO is happy not to stream from their site. It remains to be seen if recent streaming tests by Versus amount to much for cycling-hungry fans.
The response of Versus is to threaten legal action. However much Versus may have been under pressure from ASO (and the contract does give Versus obligations in addition to rights), they could be handling this differently. After removing the link to their live streaming, I asked them for some information about the streaming, if it was available in some legitimate form, whether free or for pay, and was promised some answers. I'm still waiting. And I know many of you are upset.
There are numerous websites that post links to anything and everything in terms of live video streaming in every sport, much of it illicit. Virtually none of them go so far as to provide added-value to video streams, something we have done here for nearly three years.
ASO and Versus are never going to be able to contain this beast that is live streaming. They might want to consider fully embracing the technology instead of going out of their way to alienate the fans.
So, while we wait for answers from Versus that may never arrive, how about that Slingbox Tuner folks. It's in stock at Amazon.com and you can purchase it right here:
Do I hear the footsteps of Jean-François running to warn his boss at ASO?

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!! Are you all looking forward to eating those turkeys and pumpkin or mincemeat pies like I am?
Today I'd like to share a couple of quick and easy cards that I created using my Sizzix dies. A while back I wasn't sure if I wanted to invest in Sizzix, but today I have to say that I am just as addicted to Sizzix as I am Cricut. I absolutely love the ease of use I have with this system - not to mention that their Angel Policy is more "user" friendly.

A quick phone call from the husband over lunch turned my frown upside down though (love that man) and I am already looking forward to tomorrow and the amazing dinner I have coming together in the crock pot.
But, it got me thinking. Do you ever just have those days? Where you wonder about your purpose? And if what you're doing really matters or makes any damn difference? Am I getting a little too Ghandi here for you?
