Wreath'n, Vermont Style
There are a few unusual ones too.
Here are my favorites:
Santa and his "test drive" with one reindeer.
Mickey and; Tigger
Minnie and Mickey
As it gets colder, it becomes time to drag out 20 trees to the front of the stores and plant them in the barrels that we plant flowers in. A good crew joined us to complete the project. It was -7 degrees.
It is a real skill to get the trees to fit in the buckets and stand straight.
The trees had to be untied, "fluffed up," trunks cut to fit, branches trimmed and wires tied.
Festive lights were placed on them the next day.
After planting trees and warming up a little, I headed to my local greenhouse to look at holiday baskets and festive wreaths.
I like living trees, but already have a few.
The owner made a special one for me to hang on my coop.
Complete with chicks, straw hat, eggs in a basket, Simmental cattle and tiny cow bells hanging in the middle.
Looks good on the coop.
The Main Street trees that we put up looked really good after the 12 inches of snow we got on Sunday.
Up the road, the neighbors have a vintage creche in their yard. Its older than I am.
Of course, I love the cow.
I think this scene needs a few chickens and some real hay.....
The local wildlife are also being subjected to holiday decorations.
Have you got your barn, coop, doghouse or garden decorated this year ?
Anyone using solar lights ?

Oz Loves Cheney?

Because I was president of College Republicans at my school back in 2000, I had the pleasure of meeting the greatest Vice-President America has ever seen. He states it like it is and I love it!!! Both Lynn and Dick Cheney have 'layethed the smacketh down' to Wolf Blitzer and was priceless…they will not let the libs control the premace of the interview and it's quite refreshing!!!
February 24, 2007 at 10:01 pm
Sorry guys but the vast majority of Australians are strongly against Cheney. Personally I believe him to be suspect.
Leaving out the Iraq debacle, there is a strong suspicion of a guy who has such strong ties to companies who have profited obscenely from the Iraq war. I could go on at some length.
His visit here has also strengthened the Hicks debate. Try to gloss it any way you like the truth remains that Hicks has not had the treatment he is entitled to under international law. Not US interpretation of International law, but international interpretation, including amongst your friends. You can try all you like to make new unilateral laws and attempt to subvert the Geneva Convention, the fact remains under international law, he has been illegally treated. Most of the world don't give a rats.. about laws made in America to withhold basic rights to prisoners. You may convince your own courts, but you'll never convince an international court, or for that matter an Australian court.
Wait until the first time an American soldier/combatant gets held by another country and they unilaterally decide they don't have to offer basic international rights. The US indignation will be extreme.
Cheney spoke of the need for Hicks to face justice. The hypocrisy of it all is highlighted by the 100 year sentence handed down for rape and murder of the young Iraqi girl. Unlike some Americans. I won't call for the death penalty considering that a barbaric form of punishment (the US is the only 'civilized' country that insists on executing it's own citizens, including children). However a 100 year penalty with parole rights at 10 years totally undercuts any claims to moral leadership the US may make. This was a particularly barbaric crime and deserved significant non parole time, guilty plea or not. Justice was missing entirely from that sentence.
Going back to Hicks, there is no doubt he was in Afghanistan initially working for then fighting alongside the Taliban, who like it or not, were the government of the country. Recognise them or not, they were they government and he had the right under international law to be there. The have been instances in history where governments, including the US have looked the other way while their citizens fought in wars, either for a recognised government or for factions opposed to a recognised government. The difference here, the Taliban gave shelter to B.L. who had it in for the US. The retrospective law introduced in the US does not change the facts. I totally supported the international coalition to remove the Taliban and support our guys who continue to serve there. Now personally I think Hicks was a deluded idiot, shouldn't have been there, should have his bum kicked up and down every main street in Australia, but as nothing under our law said it was illegal to be there, that should be the end of it. I don't give any weight to a US law seeking to apply in a foreign country to one of our citizens.
Almost without exception international law experts (outside of the US) agree that the US has overstepped the boundaries here. The British insisted on their nationals being returned, why Howard has not done so is beyond me.
I hate to say it, but we are staring down the barrel of a left wing win at our elections this year, almost entirely caused by Iraq and Hicks. Our booming economy will turn to Sh.. again, we'll have trendy handout government again and for the next 10 years those with their hands out will vote Labor back in until the economy is so bad that even they desert Labor. (See the Hawke/Keating years for the last time this happened. 18% home loan interest, the 'recession we had to have' – according to Keating). As Cheney well knows from his trip down here, there will be an immediate withdrawl of our troops from Iraq when Labor wins and a demand for Hicks return.
Strangely enough the vast majority of Australians support our involvement in Afghanistan. If Howard had the sense to pull our guys out if Iraq in an orderly phased process, demand Hicks be sent home, the Right could win the election. We could even send more Special Forces to Afghanistan without any backlash. Our population is even prepared for us to spend large amounts training Iraqi forces, as long as it is outside of Iraq. The problem, as I have said several times is that apart from those in government in the Coalition countries, the VAST majority, even of America's friends believe Iraq was fought for the wrong reasons with justification based on deliberately falsified information. I know you do not agree with that, however the rest of the world (sweeping statement) has an entirely different interpretation of the facts. Now, with us already being in Iraq, I would rather see an orderly withdrawl of our guys during this year and a commitment to training. Then we just MAY retain government and the US would have a friend it may well need to call on if IRAN/N.K. get worse. Labor would be too spineless to make that commitment.
I make these comments as a friend. You should hear what those on the left are screaming to all who will listen! The NSW Police had to use force to prevent lefties from invading Cheney's hotel.

The international interpretation of the Geneva convention dealing with certain types is quite off-base. Needing only name, rank, serial number of captured soldiers insures a number of things necessary for Geneva protections: a state, an organized chain of command, and a distinguishable uniform along with a visible firearm in combat… none of which applies to terrorists. So in my opinion let them rot, let them suffer to the point where it becomes a deterrant so that people will think twice about joining terrorist groups fearing the consequences if caught. The framers of the Geneva protocals wanted to encourage organized combatants with equal protection standards and discourage terrorism. I love how people scream more about American treatment of enemy combatants than they do of the car-bombers, suicide bombers and beheaders out there ignoring every rule of war and civilization– I'm not a fan of this widely held international double standard.
On the Hicks issue: if he was Taliban and met the above criteria then I agree he needs to be treated as a POW not an enemy combatant. Still, POWs are characteristically held for the duration of the conflict, which is truthfully murky since there will be no signing ceremony on the USS Missouri at the end of this war.
Too bad about the domestic political situation down under. Arguing about how we entered Iraq does nothing to promote victory, of course, but the international left seems convinced that moaning and complaining is an end unto itself, not offering solutions, rather demagoguing the issue for short-term political points at the expense of a true security solution for Iraq. However, I like Howard and hope his party keeps power. He's a real ally who can see the true threat of radical Islam taking hold in the Mideast and all that oil, especially when the UN and other 3rd world dictatorships pounce and cater to our collective defeat whenever they get the chance.

Above is a promo image of the wonderful Jennifer Jones, made for her 1948 Cuba adventure We Were Strangers, in which she played a character with the amazing name China Valdez. Wanna see her use that gun? If you watch the film, which was directed by John Huston, you'll see it happen during one of the most action packed climaxes in '40s cinema, though the actual movie isn't one of Jones's nor the great Huston's best.

The Mexican movie market isn't as competitive today. The decline was due to three main factors: political pressure that forced Mexico to submit to so-called free trade in mass media, suspicious difficulties obtaining raw film stock from the U.S. for movie productions, and, of course, dirty business tactics by Stateside studios. So that's where the consulate came in—gathering intelligence for both the U.S. government and U.S. business interests. Armed with alarming data about local preferences for local product, U.S. studios forced Mexican exhibitors into "block booking" agreements, which meant that if cinemas wanted to exhibit the best Hollywood films they were also contractually obligated to take on the worst. This was repeated all over Latin America, and those bad films, which were more numerous than the good ones, ate up exhibition hours and kept Mexican films off screens. Pushover, at least, was one of Hollywood's better films.

This comes in addition to amazing panoramas of the Aztec ruins at Uxmal, probably the best represented they've ever been in a motion picture. Is the movie good? Not quite. It has many rough patches, and Montevecchi has only two expressions in her acting arsenal—innocent eyed, and bug-eyed. But it all works a bit better than it should, somehow. We cautiously recommend it for Mexicophiles, but keep your expectations in check. The Living Idol opened in the U.S. today in 1957.

Above is a photo of Brooklyn Dodgers star Jackie Robinson signing autographs for Cuban fans in Havana during the spring of 1947. The Dodgers had used Havana's La Tropical Stadium as their spring training base during the 1941 and '42 seasons, and went there again in '47 to avoid some of the publicity and hostility that would have surrounded Robinson, who was destined to be the first African American baseball player of the modern era. Even away from U.S. shores it was a trying time for Robinson. Havana was run by Americans interests, and was selectively an apartheid city. Robinson stayed at the Hotel Boston in Old Havana, rather than the grand Hotel Nacional in swanky Vedado with the white Dodgers. This annoyed Robinson, but he needed to focus on his play because, though he had been invited to spring training, he was not guaranteed a Major League roster spot. The pressure must have been intense. Even so, in this photo he takes time to sign autographs for Cuban fans, gracious as always, on the cusp of a career that would redefine what it meant to be a Major League Baseball player.

And finally "Free Love Females of the Arctic" deals with the sole survivor of an Arctic shipwreck who's rescued by Eskimos when he was on the precipice of becoming a popsicle. Back in the village, two women strip down and warm him by wriggling all over him under fur blankets and nibbling on his chest, then the clan gives him a temporary wife while he's waiting to be returned to civilization. His popsicle thaws and is put to good use. We don't buy this tale either, but we buy Adam magazine—every chance we get—because it's incredibly entertaining. We have thirty-plus scans below and dozens more issues in the website just waiting for you to discover.

"Are you sure, Tom?" she whispered.
"Do the other women I've had bother you?"
"No, but men are supposed to be different. They're supposed to want virgins."
"Every girl's a virgin to me, until I've made love to her."
The government is interested in Tom's girlfriend and her Cuban connection, so he's brought back into the CIA, given a hot partner and—this being a sleaze novel—the partner is a woman with whom he has a steamy history. But they don't get together—the partner is gay now, prefers the Cuban girlfriend, and gets her. Thomas's reaction? "It's a waste of a beautiful woman as far as I'm concerned, but it's your life." You may be wondering if there's any actual plot here. Not enough to matter. The anti-commie aspect is a mere placeholder between love scenes. The book was bad. We knew it would be bad. But we had to find out what it was about. It wasn't about clones the way the cover art might make you think, but maybe it should have been. That art, by the way, is by Bill Edwards—the mole on his female figures always gives it away.

We're back. The festival is ongoing and our friends are here for another week, but going forward we'll be making time to share material. So above you see scans from Australia's Adam magazine, published August 1971, with British model Susan Shaw inside and Austrian actress Senta Berger on the rear. The cover illustrates I. W. Coughlan's story "Killer in Conflict," in which an assassin is sent to kill an important scientist's daughter, who's a free love hippie. The killer finds his target easily enough, but the more she talks to him the less sure he is about his mission. Is it too late for him to turn over a new leaf? At the bottom, do you notice the cartoon concerning flights to Havana? Somebody help us. What's the joke there? We keep looking at it and can't understand what the cartoonist is trying for. While we wait for enlightenment on that, you can see many more issues of Adam by clicking its keywords below.
Update: the answer comes from J. Talley who explains: Hi. Longtime fan of your blog. In case no one else has answered your question about the Havana reference in the Aug. 1971 Adam magazine cartoon you put up a few days ago: aircraft hijackings to Cuba were relatively frequent in the late '60s/early '70s, so this would fall under the category of "topical humor."

Pan American World Airways knew how to imbue travel with an aura of romance. It launched in the late 1920s with mail service from Key West to Havana, and quickly expanded to become a passenger airline. Business boomed—well heeled Americans took flights to Havana in droves in what became known as the Cocktail Circuit, escaping U.S. prohibition to enjoy a weekend of decadent nightclubs and gambling before returning in time for Monday's real world obligations. Soon Pan Am expanded service throughout Latin America and the world. It bought seaplanes to get around the problem of many cities not having proper airports. With the ability to use docking facilities, virtually no destination was inaccessible.
The company dubbed its seaplane fleet "clippers," evoking the masted sailing ships of the oceangoing era, and their draw was not just their mobility but their luxury. Some say it was a different era of corporate governance, a time when the mandate in the commercial travel industry was to earn loyalty with good service rather than to blackmail customers into avoiding misery. This is partly true, but it's also important to remember that air travel was initially considered a luxury indulgence. It was with the advent of travel for the masses that airlines began to exchange services for profitably packing people in like sardines. In that sense, their priorities have not changed much in fifty years.
Pan Am soon began promoting its services with colorful posters, many of which were created by a talented artist named Mark von Arenburg. These prints, which promised to take passengers around the world by clipper, hung mainly in airports and travel agencies and gave passersby fantastic glimpses of faraway destinations—indeed, it's difficult to look at any of them without feeling the pull of the exotic wider world. The company produced hundreds of these promos in various styles and multiple languages, but for our purposes we're interested today only in the posters advertising travel on that elegant Pan Am clipper.
Over the years the fleet evolved from seaplanes to jets, and while all were called clippers, it's the lovely skyboats that are most fondly remembered—and which provided so many entertaining settings in old movies and pulp fiction. The posters you see below are scans of both originals and reproductions, and there are quite a few. Even so, it isn't a complete collection. Some of the most famous posters are so rare they simply can't be found online at the moment. While it's true that air travelers are mainly treated like cattle rather than customers today, and commercial flying is a form of voluntary torture, the destinations are still there to make those difficult hours in the air worthwhile. Let these posters inspire you.

They killed 19 Herdsmen and 73 of us are missing — Miyetti Allah
The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has said 19 Herdsmen were killed and 73 missing in Plateau state.
Many were reported dead after suspected herdsmen allegedly invaded communities in three local government areas of the state last weekend. The police confirmed 100 peopled had died while other medium reported up to 300 death.
The chairman in the state of Miyetti Allah in the state, Mohammadu Nura, MACBAN said the group did not attack residents but were the victims of the attack.
"As at now, we have been able to bury 19 persons of our own in different places. We have declared 73 persons missing. We have not seen them nor their corpses. So people are taking our corpses, going around the world and telling people that it is their corpses that the Fulani killed," he told TheCable.
"These corpses they are saying, they are propagating (doing propaganda) against us. They are our corpses. We are calling on the government to go and exhume the corpses, let us see their faces. The corpses are our corpses, I believe that.
"I (can) tell you with authority that we have not taken part in the killings. No herdsman killed anybody. If they say they are Fulanis, let them produce those Fulanis, we want to see them."
He said the herdsmen have been on "the receiving end" of the crisis in the state, and have been "chased away from many villages".
"In most of the villages, Fulanis were chased out. It was when fragile peace was returning that people started coming back," he said.
Asked if he knows those who carried out the attacks, Nura said: "The police are in a good position to tell you who carried out these killings. Because there is tension in Plateau, their eyes must be everywhere. So their personnel must be everywhere."

Comment: In a new book, Ed Davey finds examples the world can follow to respond to the moral calls from activists Extinction Rebellion and Greta Thunberg
Tigray province in Ethiopia was once the site of desperate famine, but careful land restoration has brought it back to life (Photo: Wikimedia Commons/Yogesh Mhatre))
Some 35 years ago, in the year 1984, Ethiopia was in the midst of an acute famine, leading to the loss of at least 400,000 lives and an international humanitarian campaign which people remember to this day.
The journalist Michael Buerk, reporting for the BBC at the time, described the scenes in parts of the country as 'a biblical famine in the 20th century'. And while the causes of that famine were in large part political, its extent and severity were also exacerbated by a changing climate and by poor natural resources management.
Today – while over 8 million Ethiopians remain food insecure and the prospect of acute hunger still stalks the Horn of Africa – the government of Ethiopia has embarked on a national effort to restore at least 15 million hectares of agricultural land, as part of a set of measures to ensure that famine will never take place again. Prime minister Abiy Ahmed has made rural growth and job creation a priority of his government.
His government has also strengthened its commitment to a national programme intended to make Ethiopian agriculture more sustainable and productive, generating better livelihoods and value chains for farmers, while taking pressure off the country's remaining forests, wetlands and other ecosystems.
In a number of areas of this beautiful and diverse country, communities which have restored land have already been shown to be more resilient to drought, as well as more able to produce the food they need to sustain themselves. Restoration activities have also created more jobs, led to the replenishment of groundwater sources and fostered a stronger sense of attachment to the land.
The entity in charge of this effort – Ethiopia's Agricultural Transformation Agency – is a model for agricultural development which other countries now seek to replicate.
In a short book published today – 'Given Half a Chance: Ten Ways to Save the World' – I seek to describe a number…

A perennial favorite, this year's presentation was different than years past in that it wasn't just about highlighting our best tips and practices – but included a new month-by-month strategy for maximizing marketers' mobile ad budgets. We built this strategy on five consecutive years of holiday data. While some of our tips changed (Remember the App Store freeze of 2013?) we mainly see the same buying behaviors each year. Since this year is likely to follow the same pattern, we designed our plan to take advantage of…..

Article Title
Learning Leaders Require Business Acumen: Instructional Design Professionals at the Corporate Leadership Table
Noting the increase in shifting markets, technological changes, and unstable world politics, Clark and Gottfredson (2008: 4) make a compelling argument for individual and corporate learning: "to continuously acquire new knowledge and skills assets during or ahead of changes in the market." Their article contends that learning agility is the key to organizational success in the turbulent business environment of the twenty-first century. Within their argument, the need to understand business trends, marketing and global business practices is a leitmotif in the call for learning at every level of an organization. They predict that learning will expand from the purview of Chief Learning Officers (CLOs) and Human Resource departments to a responsibility shared with managers and front-line employees.

The Advantages of Apartments in San Diego
Apartments offer a unique combination of privacy and community. In addition to giving individuals the best of both worlds when it comes to having their own place of residence in a neighborly atmosphere, apartments are a much more affordable choice when compared to traditional alternatives. Many apartments San Diego feature a variety of modern amenities, and apartment complexes as a whole often give tenants access to luxurious and alluring onsite facilities. These conveniences make an apartment a great choice for individuals from all walks of life and all financial brackets. There are several key advantages to getting a high-quality apartment in San Diego.
A Roomy Residence that is Budget Friendly It's a common belief that the more spacious and well-furnished a residence is, the higher the price tag will be. While this may be true in some areas, the competitive apartment scene in San Diego offers a variety of rates and sizes to help everyone find a good fit for their specific needs and budget. Whether it's a solo apartment or one for an entire family, multiple options are offered by complexes in the area. This helps individuals make sure they don't overspend while also ensuring they get the space they need for a comfortable living arrangement. The Addition of Onsite Residential Facilities While many assume that apartment complexes offer tenants a living space and nothing more, many of these locations also provide residents with access to a number of utility-, luxury-, and entertainment-based conveniences, including:
Laundry Rooms Exercise Areas Game Rooms Computer Labs Assigned Parking Restaurants Those who choose an apartment usually do so with the intention of spending a little less money than a homebuyer would, and some people who look for apartments in San Diego are new to the area. With facilities like these, anyone can enjoy an all-in-one, holistic living facility that provides everything from dining to entertainment and basic conveniences one would find in a standard home.
Safe Locations with a Number of Helpful Accommodations One of the main reasons that apartments cost less than standard homes is because multiple people live in close proximity to one another. Though this does help reduce rent costs, many people have reservations about such an arrangement. Those who manage quality apartment complexes understand this, and go through appropriate screening measures to ensure that all tenants who live on the property will be conducive to a safe and hospitable environment. Background checks, credit checks, drug screenings, and other measures are often done when considering potential tenants for residency at an apartment complex. This can actually give individuals more peace of mind when it comes to their neighbors than they could receive if renting a home. In addition, many locations offer handicap-accessible, pet-friendly, and child-friendly facilities. A Variety of Lucrative Options Finding an apartment in San Diego can seem a bit overwhelming given the large amount of options in the area, but many websites offer listings of areas for rent with contact numbers, rates, and more. The vibrant area of San Diego has a lot to offer, and finding the right apartment is the first step to enjoying such a great city.

My music career began early in life. From the time i was a child i was drawn to music of all kinds. My father was a singer and my mother a music lover. I have always believed that there is something to that as far as environment and genetics go. I loved to hear my dad sing, and my mom had some kind of music playing around the house almost all the time. Growing up in Philadelphia we had great Radio. I was equally blessed to be the youngest of four children and my brother and two sisters all had very different musical tastes. I was not allowed to use their records or stereo's so, as you can imagine, i was in trouble all the time for getting into their things. Especially their records.
Around age six my Grandfather gave me a guitar. It was an old black Epiphone hollow body with F holes cut in it. It was to big for me and it didn't hold it's tuning very well but it sounded great to me. So much so that i took it everywhere my folks would let me. I began to figure out my favorite songs ( i had a lot of the chords dead wrong ) and i was willing to perform for anyone who would listen.
I found myself listening and studying music from Sinatra to the Stones. Marvin Gaye to the Doors. Elton John to the Beatles. Loggins & Messina, Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton, Ray Charles, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Steely Dan, Earth Wind & Fire, Sly and the Family Stone and a list that goes on and on and on.
At around age 10 I started my first band. It seemed as though when we played people stopped and listened. The audience feedback and energy was electric and I was fully charged with their energy and my passion for performing began to grow and grow as still does to this day.
During this journey I began to write my own songs and fell in love with recording and recoding production. In the years to follow i would travel the country playing with some of the finest musicians on the planet both live and in studio. They have inspired me to continue to play and write music by their un-wavering commitment to play from the heart and soul.
For me making organic music with great musicians for a live audience and in studio is my true "Happy Place". I've been blessed with a passion for music and I try to deliver that passion every time I perform, for every audience.
I thank you for your interest in music by eli and hope to see you at one of my upcoming shows.
With Sincere Thanks

Well…it's been quite some time since I have joined in here on DG.com and thought it's high time I post and officially conclude my MIA status. I know that some of you probably thought I had dropped off the face of the earth. BTW Karen; thank you so much for the call checking in on me; that was very sweet of you! Honestly, I feel very guilty that I have not responded/posted to date. It was actually quite a while back when you called.
I guess I can call this my journal; Lord knows I obviously need some sort of accountability system in place! I have been reluctant to start one, as I knew that updating it daily just probably wouldn't happen. I'll make it a promise to myself to update at least weekly!
I'll give a recap of my hiatus and background.
I purchased Dean's Think A Little Different course early in 2008, while being unemployed. I dug in getting things set up with the SA; doing my lessons, forming my LLC, doing all the things I was supposed to do. After a little more than a month, with pressure from my wife (and being broke) I got a job at Home Depot as a Freight Supv. It was pretty demanding and I let it take over my ambition to do REI.
Then in August of last year, I decided that I did not want my dreams of being a successful REI to die. I purchased Dean's books PFRERN and YTYREP and also, purchased the SFL system. Needless to say, my wife was disappointed and said that I had never followed through and this would just be another "I told you so". I joined the local REI Club, began building my buyers list, was very active on this site, and began networking and working with two Realtors. Things were looking pretty good, but there was only one thing missing…taking ACTION! I looked at many props, but made NO offers!
Currently, I'm a severely under-employed Restaurant Mgr. (don't really want to be one anymore) working as a server in a BBQ restaurant. I also, have many years' experience in the construction field as a Materials Mgr. I enjoyed this field more, but gave up looking for a job. It seemed hard to find a company willing to give an "old dog" another chance. The good things about my current job are that I have been there long enough to build a good customer base, and I have a great schedule for someone that works in the foodservice industry. I only work four days a week (6am – 3 pm) and have been able to hang onto my home and scrape by on the bills. A great schedule with plenty of time to concentrate on REI, right?! The bad things about my job are that it is a JOB and my body is an orthopedic surgeon's dream. Some days it's hard to get out of bed, and I can barely bend over and tie my own shoes. I refuse to see myself retiring doing such!! It's definitely not a job I'm proud of, and it makes me feel like a loser sometimes. But I know it's getting us by, for the moment.
Anyway; around mid-April we became short staffed and I started picking up shifts, as I need the extra money. Then came that dreadful horrible day on April 27th with the tornadoes that swept through Alabama. I think the official count was 62 of them and 43 of 67 counties were declared eligible for disaster relief by FEMA! The total death count to date is 247! One twister went right down my street and thank God, we were spared, but just barely. A neighbor two doors down completely lost his home when two pine trees crushed it to the ground. He and his family survived, but his home is now an empty lot. There was total mayhem for quite some time and we were w/o power for almost a week. The cleanup took forever, but we are finally almost back to normal.
Then being summertime and all; it's time to maintain the lawn, etc. which, I love doing. But I have an acre and a half and it's hard to do with a broken riding mower. I can't afford to get it fixed so I've begged and borrowed from family when possible to keep from having to use the push mower (takes at least 2 days!). There are many other things that I've had to do from my "honey-do" list, as well. You know, gotta keep momma happy!
I also, have had many serious computer problems for some time and it finally conked-out. The good news is that my wife worked some sort of "magic" and talked my stepdaughter into buying me a new one. I couldn't believe it. I came home from work one day last week and it was lying on my pillow. What an amazing woman and a wonderful surprise! It has lots of bells and whistles and I am finally up and running.
Well, I've given lots of boring details, and made lots of excuses, but I feel better now that I've gotten things off of my chest. I know whoever reads this can "smell" the FEAR, but I refuse to give in, and am rejuvenated to complete my quest to become a successful REI and make that first deal!
I've struggled with following through an action plans and making/following schedules…letting "life" get in the way. I'm sick and tired of doing the same old things because I keep getting the same results…NOTHING! I have all the tools; I just need to quit procrastinating and take ACTION!
Along with my "Why"; two quotes used by my dear friend Jen Gray (bamagirl6730), that I can't get out of my head are:
If it is to be; it's up to me!
5 P's – Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance.
Says so much doesn't it?!
So, tomorrow I begin my Road to Redemption with:
- Organizing my office (separate personal/REI stuff)
- Creating my Action Plan and Schedule
Promise the next post won't be so lengthy. Until next time……..
Quitters NEVER win - Winners NEVER quit!

Today I propose a quick portrait to do when you're outdoors, a close-up. The model of an exception for this episode is my beautiful girlfriend 🙂 The setup for a close-up like this is very simple, all you need is a telephoto lens (in my case the 135mm f\2) and two flashes. At this point, you point the camera at the subject and make a reading of the values the camera proposes, in my case at ISO 160 and F\4 proposed 1/20 as shutter time. Therefore I switched to manual and I set ISO 160, F\4 and 1/40 as a shutter time, in order to have a one stop underexposure. Before I read criticals like "but why did you have the ISO to 160 and didn't you brought to 400 to get a faster shutter speed to avoid blur?", I reply saying that I know exactly what my limits are and I know that with the 135mm I still keep a time of 1/40 freehand if you use the technique I describe in the video, and thus to lower ISO have higher quality. As for the flash in this shot I decided to use a very big umbrella (diameter 1.15 m I think) and very close, so I have a really soft light. In addition, a backlight behind pulled off a little hair from the background. All with the CTO that give warmth. However, I describe everything in the video … ah yes guys, I shot the video again! I told you I'd do it whenever I had the chance! 😀
The photo in the end came so, what do you think? I wait for comments guys! 🙂

Homeowners today are more likely than ever to take on home renovations in earnest, often resulting in amazing outcomes that enhance daily comfort while also increasing the property value. Nearly every property owner wants to take on a home improvement project, but many struggle to decide which aspect of the home to focus on first. Kitchen and bath remodeling can be valuable, but it can also be costly. You may have a specific plan in mind, such as kitchen renovations to overhaul the room's outdated look. In other cases, you may be planning on installing an outdoor living space to expand your floor plan into the sunshine, including a new sink, stove, or seating area. Regardless of your personal plans, you and homeowners across San Diego County can benefit from speaking with our home remodeling contractors!
Greg Kohler General Contractor, Inc. is proud to be your trusted general contractors in Poway, delivering top-notch results to residents across San Diego and beyond. Our team has over 100 years of combined experience, and we're ready to get your project completed on time and on budget.
One service we offer is consultation. Today, we'll continue to discuss the cost and value comparisons between bathroom remodels, kitchen renovations, and new decks and patios. Learn about the value of each service here, then be sure to contact our home remodeling company to schedule an appointment!
Decks and Patios
If you have the outdoor space to enjoy a variety of relaxing activities, why not provide year-round support with a deck or patio? This valuable platform helps to expand the floor space of your home, allowing guests and tenants to walk from the kitchen or dining room straight out into the yard. This service will also result in a sturdy, beautiful product that is built to provide decades of sound support. Not only does a new deck improve the space and convenience of your home, it also increases the property value.
Potential buyers will be willing to spend more to enjoy the convenience of your new deck, offering more to purchase your property in as a result. Homeowners reportedly recoup much of their remodeling costs when selling their home, often recovering over 80 percent of the up-front price. Greg Kohler General Contractors can help you find an ideal outcome for your home, providing the quality needed to ensure that your investment is worthwhile both now and 10 years from now.
The Verdict
Ultimately, the type of home renovation you invest in will depend on your goals and restraints. Homeowners hoping for effectively affordable comfort and quality can invest in bathroom remodels while others wanting more time in the sunshine can procure a long-lasting deck or patio. Keep in mind a few of the factors that may influence your decision, including:
- Price – Kitchen renovations can quickly add up in cost, especially if new cabinets and appliances are included. Bathroom remodels and deck installations can be close in price, but the specifics of your project can change the total cost by thousands of dollars.
- Speed – Full kitchen remodels will take a lot of time, with best-case scenarios tending to wrap up after one month (some homeowners can wait up to six months!). Quality bathroom renovations often take half that time, and deck installs can be completed in just one to two days.
- Convenience – Eating and bathing are both essential, making home renovations an inconvenience in most cases. Installing a new deck or patio will likely not impact your daily routine. Our general contractors are here to ensure the fastest outcome for every project, so be sure to call us for an estimated timeframe for your home renovations!
- Value – Based on the home improvement company you hire, all three services can add considerable value. Each service provides differing return rates, where home decking can recoup over 80 percent of costs, then bathroom remodels, then kitchen renovations in the 90 percent range. The better your results, the more valuable your renovations will be.
- Versatility – An outdoor living space may provide considerable advantages for your home. Kitchen renovations can introduce helpful elements to make food prep and storage much easier. In most cases, the versatility of your home renovation services will depend on your personal needs and the skills of your contractor.
When it comes to comparing kitchen and bath remodels, homeowners can make the decision on which project to pursue based on their personal preferences. Kitchen improvements provide the most value for a home in addition to owner satisfaction, but this result comes with a few costs. Kitchen remodels are invasive and take considerable time, both resulting in a higher price tag. Bathroom remodels are smaller, simpler, and more affordable. If both of your interior spaces are fine as-is, investing in a new deck may prove to be the perfect answer.
More than half of industry professionals say to focus on kitchen remodeling to increase home worth while just over 40 percent said to focus on the bathroom. We found, however, that the decision of which home renovation service to pursue will vary for each client. If you're ready to create amazing improvements for your San Diego County home, our general contractors in Poway are here and ready to get to work. Greg Kohler General Contractor is your trusted resource for top-notch home renovation services. While we specialize in kitchen and bath remodeling, decking, and home additions, our licensed and insured team can build to suit a wide range of needs.

How to Make International Phone Calls without Internet
We often have relatives or friends or acquaintances who live in a foreign country and calling them from the cell phone often costs us a lot due to the fact that the mobile operators charges a hell lot of money for placing ISD calls. A plausible way out of this mess i.e. a way by which you can save the money from an ISD call is by using Skype or Google Hangouts. These software's allows you to place call at any landline or mobile number at a low call rate. But to operate them, you need a strong Wi-Fi or an uninterrupted 3G/4G connection.
What if you don't have a good Wi-Fi connection? What if the 3G or 4G connection is causing problems? Or is slow? Then you have no other options than to use normal call facilities to talk to someone overseas, which will in turn cause you to pay loads of money.
What is Ringo?
Wouldn't it be great if you had an app which allowed you to call an ISD number at low cost that also without any internet connection? Well, you can do that now with the help of the Ringo app. This is a cool app which allows you to place ISD calls at low cost without any internet connection. Once you install the app on your cell phone, it automatically detects all the international numbers present in it. Another huge advantage of the app is that it shows you the current time of the destination where the number belongs, once it is open in the app.
How Does Ringo Work?
The working principle of Ringo is quite simple. When you dial an international number via the app, it automatically dials a local number at your country. On the other hand it connects two local numbers in the other country you're trying to place a call at and connects the two numbers (i.e. your and the other number you are trying to call) via an internal network. So basically you are placing a call at a local number while actually making an ISD call.
Why use Ringo?
Apart from the fact that it does not require any kind of internet connection, Ringo also makes ISD calls at a rate which is 30% lower than the regular mobile network providers. You can also save up on the costly data plans because, well no internet. The app also provides clear and uninterrupted phone calls to anywhere in the world.
The only little glitch in Ringo is the fact that you can only make calls from your smartphones unlike Skype or Google Hangouts where you can call from your laptop or computer too. But all said one must give a try at the app and enjoy the benefits of the low cost ISD calls. It is available on Google Play Store or Apple store for free. Talk for hours with your loved ones for hours without worrying about price.

The world today bears no resemblance to the world of my childhood. Perhaps every generation feels something similar but while change – paradoxically – is the only constant in life, the rate and enormity of those changes has no parallel in history notwithstanding the rise and fall of empires.
Christmas became Xmas when I was still a child. I remember feeling puzzled, it's not as though Christmas is difficult to spell so why change it to Xmas if not to diminish and blur the reason for the festival. I was too young to apply intelligence to the issue but later in life I think it through and realise that Santa Claus, Father Christmas is better for business so there's good commercial reason for the change but that doesn't make it right any more than changing the name of the Jewish festival of Passover to Xover makes sense and, in that case, there would be uproar if it were suggested.
Christianity comes under attack not by direct persecution but by stealth.
I was happy to see gay and lesbian people have the same legal rights as heterosexual people but stopped short of voting yes for 'same sex marriage' and, for this, I'm labelled as a bigot, as out of step with the rest of society. The reasons given for voting 'yes' are familiar to most – equality, in terms of human rights, and the getting rid of discrimination. So now, in Tasmania, a birth certificate no longer needs to have the gender - boy or girl - mentioned at all. Why? How is this a positive move?
I do discriminate. I discriminate between right and wrong, between good and evil and the basis of this discrimination isn't arbitrary. Recently, while waiting in line early one morning at the supermarket where only one cashier was on duty and the 'self serve' section was closed, the person in front of me glanced at the closed 'self serve' section and remarked that Coles were losing millions of dollars a year because many using that facility were not being honest. He saw that dishonesty as 'natural justice' and I understand that perspective but, for me, honesty matters and just because I can get away with dishonesty doesn't make it right and, more to the point, diminishes me. I'm not 'for sale.' It's not that theft under all circumstance is wrong – someone starving is in different circumstance to me.
The couple were younger than me and we had a brief chat in which they also remarked about the changes seen within society and that these changes aren't making society any better.
'We're all on a spectrum both sexually and mentally.' Really? The last twenty years of my working life were spent in the disability section of the health service. All our clients had multiple diagnoses including autism. These aspects of their lives didn't make them less or more human than I – we all know when we're being treated badly and we all know what we like and dislike. I didn't put myself on a spectrum although my desire to do a job well could be seen as obsessive/compulsive and probably was by those with whom I worked and who had an approach to the job which dismayed me in its casual disregard for doing the job properly.
'Anything goes' is a slippery slope and one that our political leaders embrace and that approach cascades down through society.
Ah well – not all is grim, love refuses to die and most of us have choice and free will still operates for those not bound by slavery.
The Antarctic has seen much 'to and fro' by the 'powers that be' recently and I place a video below this post which illustrates much which I found of interest.

If you find yourself struggling to sew a straight line, you're definitely not alone. Sometimes sewing basics are the toughest to master. But you can get on the straight and narrow faster — or, if you're already a pro, pick up a new trick or two — with these tips from master sewer Christine Haynes.
1. Sit Up Straight!
It's nearly impossible to sew a straight line (or anything else) if you're slumped. To align your body with your sewing machine, first straighten the machine on your work table, then pull it close to the table's edge so you don't stretch your arms as you sew.
Now that the machine is level, place your chair right in front of it. Sit up straight (no slouching!) and place your foot pedal on the floor where you can reach it without shifting your body. Now that you're lined up with your machine, you can sew straight too!
2. Follow the Seam Allowance
Nearly all sewing machines have markers on the footplate to show the seam allowance (the space between the stitching and the fabric's raw edge). Those lines are there to show you the seam allowance, but you can also use them as a guide to help you sew straight.
3. Use Washi Tape
If you're having trouble seeing the seam-allowance lines or have a machine that doesn't mark them off automatically, washi or painter's tape can save you. For instance, you could place washi tape to the right of your footplate to make regular seam allowances stand out, or to create larger or smaller ones that your machine doesn't include. Or just use the washi to mark any spot that's hard to see while you sew.
4. Don't Focus on the Needle
Watching the needle go up and down can be hypnotizing — and make you so spacey that your lines get wavy. To keep your head on straight, follow your tape line or the edge of your fabric instead of the needle.
5. Grab a Marker
If you're topstitching a collar, a patch pocket or anything that involve pivots or angled corners, It's tough to stay on track. That's when you need a water-soluble marking tool to trace a straight stitch line before sewing. Just be sure to test it out on a piece of fabric to make sure your line will wash out!
6. Move the Needle
Your needle is set in a center position when you're using seam allowances to keep you in line. But when you're topstitching or hemming, you're not using seam allowances, so your needle can move from left to right as much as you want. To stay close to the fabric's edge, simply guide the needle so it hits your fabric where you want, while keeping the edge of the fabric along the right side of the presser foot.
7. Make Like You're Driving
When you drive your car, you're not just looking straight ahead. You're glancing in the rear view and side mirrors to see what's coming up and what's behind. Same is true when you sew.
Remember you're connected to your sewing machine. If your fabric is pulling down as it spills over the side of the table, say, or is bunched up behind the presser foot, don't panic and speed up. Just stop. Then take it slow.
Your goal is to make sure your fabric goes through the machine without a hitch. So think about what you've just done, where you're sewing now and what's coming up. And if your machine has speed controls, choose a comfortable pace so you're forced to slow down.
Got that straight?
