So this week, we bought a new fancy LED, internet-ready, 3D capable TV. (I know, we're idiots, but it was on sale). We spent the next few days fiddling with the display, trying to figure out the settings, and downloading apps. Last night, as I was choosing which Van Gogh masterpiece I wanted to be my screensaver, I started to wonder if perhaps things had gone a bit too far.
Four short years ago, I had the distinction of never having had cable/satellite in my home. In my childhood home, we had a huge, wood-encased monstrosity of a television, tucked against the wood paneling in the living room. We had all of four choices of channels until I was in my teens, when the WB came on the network scene. Ungainly antennae rose from the back, mocking us as we twisted them this way and that, trying to get a relatively snow-free picture—relative being the key word.
During those years, my parents generally limited our TV watching to 1 hour a day. Though we'd try to get around the edict, peaking around the hallway corner or passing through to get yet another glass of water from the kitchen, for the most part, we had to find other ways to occupy our time. For me, that meant hitting the great outdoors on the nice days, and reading, drawing, and pestering my siblings on the bad weather days.
Back then, playtime never included the family computer, which was tucked amongst the cluttered disarray of my father's study. Its black and white DOS prompted screen was a mystery to me, used only for typing school reports when my father pulled up the word processing screen. When my homework was done, the rhythmic screech of the dot matrix printer filled the house, assaulting our ears for minutes on end as it labored to produce its uninterrupted line of pages.
Of course, in those days, no one had ever heard of the internet (at least not in my world), and cell phones were as heavy as bricks and about as unwieldy, an expensive luxury that allowed the user to communicate fuzzy and broken sentences to the baffled person on the other end of the line. For the most part, landlines were the only reliable form of instant communication, and long distance rates made phone calls to my grandparents very special events, indeed. On those rare occasions, we three kids would be charged with sitting in a row near the phone, so no time was wasted in the handoff as we each had our minute on the phone.
Back then, my parents had no trouble monitoring our phone use. I distinctly remember being grounded when I was in middle school after my father picked up the phone close to 10pm, and instead of a dial tone he heard his little girl on the phone with a boy. Of course, the one thing that we kids could get away with was prank calls, since there was no such thing as caller ID until I was at least in my teens. Does anyone else remember the hilarious prank calls Bart used to make to Moe's Tavern on the Simpsons? Such a thing would be impossible now. I guess that's a good thing, lol!
Sigh :) Back in those days, technology was a sidebar to my otherwise hands-on life. I read paperback books, I doodled on notebooks, I used the home phone to let my friends know I was on my way over, and played games using a dice or a little silver thimble or shoe. Research involved a trip to the cool and quiet library near town, where we spoke in hushed tones and spent hours searching through microphiche and pouring over the tiny cards of the library catalog, looking for just the right book or article about the subject we were researching. With success came the digging in pockets for dimes for the copier, the handing over of library cards, and the toting home of an armful of books.
And now? Well, in the hour it has taken me to write this blog, I have exchanged four emails, checked my chirping Tweetdeck, and Googled the following things: how to spell 'mirophiche,' Monopoly pieces (and yes, I am ashamed), and Raleigh weather. Thanks to the Google logo shout-out today, I also got sidetracked trying to remember who the heck Jules Vern is (today's his 183rd birthday, and he wrote 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in 80 days, and other brilliant works of fiction). Though I used my laptop for these searches, I also could have opted to use my iPhone or my shiny new TV. If I had decided to go old school and head to the library after all, I probably would have googled their hours, then used my GPS (either in my car or on my iPhone) to get there.
In a way, our lives are infinitely more enriched for all of the connectivity and information at our fingertips. But for all of the technology out there, I think we have to make a real effort not to live in 2D – or even 3D (as touted by the movie industry, anyway). Instead, we need to remember to live with all our senses, in person whenever possible. Texting, and Wikipedia, and Twitter are all great tools, but let's not forget to set aside technology now and again, and live the life directly at hand. This week, I want to make an effort to return technology to the background of my life, instead of living my days saturated by it.
So my challenge to myself this week?
-No more than 1 hour of TV.
-Dinner at the kitchen table with my hubby
-Have lunch with a friend this week
-Write and mail at least one letter
-Browse through my mother's old recipe cards for dinner ideas this week.
-Instead of turning on an exercise DVD, take the dogs for a walk
I want to hear about how different your life is now compared to the technology of your childhood. Are you willing to join me in my challenge? What will you do differently this week?
Today's recipe? Back to basics! No microwaves, no refrigerators, no mixers or ovens. Just you, a spoon, and a stovetop are all that's needed for these yummy no bake cookies!
Cocoa No Bake Cookies
1 and 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup peanut butter (crunchy or smooth, your choice)
3 cups quick-cook oats
1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa. Slowly bring to a full boil, then cook for two minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter, oats, and vanilla. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper and let cool until hardened.

Adding glamour to zero waste
Forget cardboard compactors. These days jumping on your used pizza boxes in killer heels is the way to go to for adding extra sex appeal to recycling. Especially if you're wearing zero waste shoes.
Okay, I jest. I know I like to entertain my friends but the only way these shoes would add such glamour to my recycling activities is in carrying my feet towards my kitchen bin! Performing star jumps in high heels just to crush old boxes is a little far fetched, even for me.
However, the zero waste aspect of these shoes isn't. They're one of the latest designs to come out from Melissa, a Brazilian based shoe manufacturer that prides itself not just on great design and ethical policies but on zero waste operations too. Not only does the factory recycle its waste water, but any excess material used in its current collection gets recycled into the next season's shoes.
Melissa shoes, made from its mono-material MelFlex (apparently a toxin-free adaptation of PVC, developed from bio-engineered and recovered plastics) have emerged as one of the darlings of the eco-style world and have become popular with vegans and the eco-conscious alike. They even come with the promise that they can be 100% recycled. And I admit I too have fallen for them this season. Thanks to a friend bringing them to my attention, I was quickly seduced by a pair of Vivien Westwood heels especially designed for Melissa's Anglomania range,
Yes I admit, they add that special "je-ne-sais-quoi" never witnessed by my wardrobe in recent years and their comfort will hopefully ensure they remain a key item for many decades to come. However, despite my love of having shoes that have been made via zero waste production, I feel it fair to dispell the promise of a zero waste nirvana when it comes to recycling such items in the UK.
Just because a shoe is made from a single material that says it can be recycled, it doesn't mean it can be easily recycled. The Melissa range is the only collection of shoes I know that have a recycling triangle on them, (revealing type 3 for PVC), however in the UK, the municipal collection of this type of material is not particularly widespread. With that said, it is a sector that is currently being met by major research and development in Europe and eco-efficient collection and recycling processes, which replace less sustainable ways of managing such waste, should see much improvement over the next decade thanks to the development of voluntary agreements such as Vinylplus.
The recyclability may be marketed as a selling point when it comes to the end of a shoe's life. However as any "zero waster" should know, it's the product maintenance and reuse aspects that are the most obvious solutions to enjoying an item and managing its life-span post use.
As with anything, post-consumer recycling is just one consideration when making a purchase, but commitment to longevity and an ethical manufacturing process should be high on the agenda too, and for those reasons I think I'm going to enjoy my relationship with my Melissa shoes for many years to come.
I really was joking about jumping up and down on pizza boxes. I think these shoes are more suited to moments of enjoying cocktails and wine.
And of course, the closest they will ever come to a recycling centre, is if a touch of glamour is needed when recycling the empties.
More information about the Melissa shoe range can be found at www.melissa.com.br/en, supplemented by a wealth of reviews appearing in Eco magazines that include Ecosalon, Dare2Magazine and The Ecologist.

Recycling helps the earth because it could save animals, it could save birds, puppies and all kinds of them. A lot of the animals that recycling helps to save are the ocean animals. There are a lot of animals in the ocean that mistake trash for food. They're eating things that we could be recycling. Check out this video: http://youtu.be/-H51E2gwXwc

Once seemingly invincible marquee chains like Coach, Starbucks and Abercrombie & Fitch are settling for ho-hum growth this winter.
As the nation's merchants began poring — or weeping — over holiday sales receipts Wednesday, a surprising pattern emerged: even brands that for years have inspired the undying devotion of shoppers felt the pinch of tightening wallets.
Once seemingly invincible marquee chains like Coach, Target, Starbucks and Abercrombie & Fitch are settling for ho-hum growth this winter, after surpassing even the most rosy expectations season after season.
Though they sell very different products, at very different prices, these companies all shared the same bragging rights. Their customers considered them indispensable, even expressions of who they were.
But in this turbulent economy, the indispensable is becoming disposable.
"This season tested brand loyalty," said Marshal Cohen, chief analyst at NPD Group, a retail research firm.
By early December, the traditional start of the holiday buying rush, Coach, Target and Starbucks — arguably the reigning trendsetters among American retailers — warned that the number of consumers walking into their stores had begun to dip, or was likely to, as consumers restrained their spending.
Coach cautioned that the 20 percent growth rate for handbags over the last several years would most likely fall to 10 percent for the final months of this year — nothing to be ashamed of, but a significant setback. And Target, which is used to monthly sales increases of 4 percent or more for its stores, said results for December could fall 1 percent, a rarity for the chain.
A final sales tally from the season will not be available from most chains until next week. But an early projection from MasterCard Advisors, a unit of the credit card company, found that overall spending from Nov. 23 to Dec. 24, when adjusted for inflation, was essentially unchanged over last year, a weak performance.
Lynn Brisbois is the kind of shopper who is giving these companies holiday heartburn. At the Twelve Oaks mall outside Detroit on Wednesday, Ms. Brisbois, 46, browsed the pristine white shelves of a sparsely filled Coach store, but bought nothing.
When she walked into an Abercrombie & Fitch, it was not to make a purchase but to return a pair of pajamas and a sweatshirt to obtain a post-Christmas discount, which knocked $25 off the $98 she originally paid.
"I was very limited in what I did this year," said the mother of two, who gave her twin daughters cash instead of head-to-toe clothing from Abercrombie, a brand they covet.
Retail executives had predicted that the collision of high gas prices, falling home prices and an uncertain economy would hurt most, if not all, stores this winter.
But these chains were supposed to be different.
For decades, retailers and the analysts who track them have bemoaned the death of brand loyalty. A Sears shopper, or a Woolworth consumer, remained that way for life.
The explosion of mass merchants meant that the same product, for example a Sony digital camera, could be found at a dozen competing stores. That inspired consumers to make shopping choices based on low prices, rather than allegiance to a single store.
But a handful of astute retailers, like Coach and Target, thrived through fashionable stores, sleek advertising and irresistible merchandise.
Inside the retailing industry, they earned the nickname "lifestyle brands" because they managed to reflect their customers attitude and taste, overriding concerns about price.
Coach, for example, became so popular over the last decade that many otherwise judicious women purchased six of its $500 handbags, with their elaborate designs and eye-popping colors. Its sales, profits and stock price soared.
Slightly lower down the retail hierarchy, Target, with its guest designers, like Isaac Mizrahi (for dresses) and Thomas O'Brien (for housewares), earned a zealous following. Shoppers even took to calling it Tar-ZHAY, in the mock French fashion, because of its flair for style, which distinguished it from Wal-Mart. Like Coach, Target's sales soared.
This year, both brands are falling back to earth.
So, it seems, is Starbucks. After years of strong sales, the chain last month disclosed that customer traffic dropped 1 percent in the United States during the summer, the first falloff since it began reporting such information three years ago.
There are exceptions, of course. Apple, for example, has expanded the ranks of devotees with all its new i-products (iTouch, iPhone, iPod and so on).
But consumers appear reluctant to splurge on their favorite brands. Abercrombie's popular Hollister division, a surf-themed store intended for a slightly younger shopper than its namesake chain, said sales failed to grow in November, compared with last year — a letdown for a fast-growing brand.
Tom Lennox, a spokesman for Abercrombie, said that "while it's argued that spending is more difficult, our brands continue to perform quite well." Indeed, at the flagship Abercrombie brand, sales rose 4 percent in November.
Shining Young, 25, and Ray Chou, 29, both graduate students, waited for clearance sales before buying clothes Wednesday at the Hollister store at the Westfield San Francisco Centre.
In the end, they bought a puffy jacket for $80, regularly $128, and a zip-up sweatshirt for $30, originally $50. The life of a graduate students is not luxurious, and with their expenses rising, "I shop at Hollister when it's on special," Ms. Young said.

Preservation Of Samoa Sennit-Making Aided By U.S.
Pacific Islands Development Program, East-West Center With Support From Center for Pacific Islands Studies, University of Hawai'i
News Release
Samoa Ministry of Education, Sports and Culture Apia, Samoa
Monday, February 4, 2013
Knowledge and skills associated with the traditional Samoan craft of sennit making will be preserved thanks to a US$47,000 (T$103,000) grant from the United States Government.
Galumalemana Steven Percival of the Tiapapata Art Center Incorporated, a charitable trust promoting traditional and contemporary arts and crafts in Samoa, will manage the project with funding provided by the U.S. Ambassador's Fund for Cultural Preservation.
U.S. Ambassador David Huebner presented the award to Mr. Percival during a ceremony at Malifa on Friday.
Mr. Huebner said the fund supports the preservation of cultural sites, cultural objects and forms of traditional cultural expression in more than 100 developing countries around the world.
"I am pleased to present this award to the Tiapapata Art Center because I believe cultural heritage endures as a reminder of the contributions and historical experiences of humanity," he said.
"By taking a leading role in efforts to preserve cultural heritage, the U.S. shows its respect for other cultures."
The Tiapapata Art Center will be working closely with the Culture Division of the Ministry of Education, Sports and Culture (MESC) in the implementation of the project.
The grant provides financial support to document traditional ecological knowledge and techniques associated with the making and use of the 'afa, a cultural product that once contributed to the wellbeing and lifestyles of all Samoans.
The main output of the project will be a documentary film exploring the making and use of coconut sennit. In addition, a special exhibit of the craft will be developed for display at the National Museum of Samoa.
The project presents an opportunity for capacity building in educational and documentary filmmaking by the Audio/Visual staff at the MESC Culture Division.

Zombie Crisis 3D Review
- Simple on-rails shooting action.
- Three difficulties that scale the challenge dramatically.
- No fake-cover moments.
- Death animations are too slow / confusing.
- Several blind-firing exercises.
Zombie Crisis 3D is no House of the Dead, but it shares the same style and jump-in-your-face action that makes it such a fun game to play.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
One of my biggest pet-peeves for rail-shooters is just how robotic some of them feel; sure you move around to cover, but the smooth transitions often feel out of place or outright ridiculous as hordes of enemies just happen to lie in wait at a vantage-point that's perfect for you. Zombie Crisis 3D by KONGZHONG has no such illusion and you'll be wading knee-deep in the remains of your foes as you frantically scour a laboratory of its infectious denizens.
Instead of dealing with a complex arsenal of weaponry you're thrown in to Zombie Crisis 3D with only a handful of weapons (a pistol, shotgun and chain-gun to be precise) and all you have to do is tap the screen to fire on your enemies. As you progress you'll find ammunition for the two powerful alternate weapons and on the harder difficulties you'll need to carefully manage when you reload your weapons to avoid being caught empty-handed when a zombie or ten decide to rush you.
The 3D visuals are lo-fi and you'll soon be acquainted with the usual and far-too-often used series of underground corridors that make up much of the game, however when Zombie Crisis strays from these areas they're constructed in a way that makes it challenging to deal with the hordes of enemies you're fighting. This is something I appreciated as it helps to keep you off-balance and reminds you that you're not fighting on your own terms. Cinematic moments where the camera swings around as though you're clearing a room completely also add a neat touch.
Unfortunately the boss fights were disappointing as the epic feel that the developers tried to give them falls short as they enter a fairly repetitive and silly attack pattern. Still, it's great to see another rail-shooter straying from the norm and while Zombie Crisis 3D may not be perfect it's a refreshing change for action fans to enjoy.
DescriptionUntil House of the Dead come over to the iPhone, you can indulge your zombie-killing tendencies with Zombie Crisis 3D. It plays out like an arcade light gun game; you have zero control over the movement of your hero. All you do is point and shoot. This lack of "control" doesn't upset me too much, as I have a real fondness for light gun games and Zombie Crisis 3D does a good job replicating that arcade experience. ---IGN
Zombie Crisis is an intense, finger-friendly 3D rail shooting game for the iPhone/iPod Touch.
Abandoning the 'traditional' joystick-based FPS, Zombie Crisis releases your fingers from the difficult movement & weapon control and delivers a new, innovative style that lets you focus on the action.
In Zombie Crisis, a bio-accident has taken place at the Argo Company, turning its infected staff into bloodthirsty zombies. When the disaster is about to sweep through the States, a female mercenary soldier, Dana, receives an order to investigate the situation at Argo's lab. Will her investigation lead to a one-way street into those dangerous zombies? Or will she find something even more dangerous than the Zombie Virus?
21 maps, hundreds of zombies and 4 big bosses.
4 weapons including pistol, shotgun, and machine gun and a dagger
Beautiful 3D graphics, professional sound production, and a gripping storyline.
Ready for RETINA display!

XCORE® may turn 50, but it's Fit and Fabulous as never before!
It is definitely here to stay, keeps improving itself and by doing so always attracts and keeps enthusiastic instructors as well as active members. In some fitness clubs XCORE® has been scheduled for more than 12 years! You can imagine that we're very proud of that! And we would like to take the opportunity to say how grateful we are for the trust placed in us by our certified clubs and instructors!
It's a celebration
To celebrate our 50th release together with our XCORE® family, we will throw a GOLDEN party at Panama, Amsterdam on 13 April 2017, where we will record the XCORE® #50 dvd release together with the 50 instructors we have invited. It's going to be a super party, one big Golden Sparkle!
No big deal if you are one of the instructors who's unable to attend, because our next training quarterly will also be a Golden one at which everybody will receive a Golden Package they can use to decorate the club for the launch of XCORE® #50!
No, it certainly won't pass unnoticed, everybody will know about it!

Traveling South America is a lot more popular and easier now than it was 20 years ago. We've really had such an enjoyable and fulfilling experience that I would recommend a break-away journey like this to anyone!
Of course, it depends on you how rough and rugged you want your journey to be! The only thing you really need is your passport…but there's nothing wrong with a bit of comfort…
Here are 17 things which made the backpacking easier for us:
Let me know if you think something else needs to be added.
1. Smart Phone/Tablet
Technology has really changed the way people travel! I probably could have written this post just about this point because I think this is what has changed traveling the most in the last few years.
Having an electronic device which has internet access (like an iPhone, iPad, tablet, laptop) makes many things much easier! Most hotels and hostels offer free wifi so you don't actually need to buy sim cards. (We did buy one in Peru though.) The wifi in Peru, Chile, Argentina and Brazil is good. Bolivia's is not always so good but they do have wifi.
All the possible uses for a device like an IPhone/tablet this is endless. You can book your next accommodation online after reading recommendations about the place. You can google what the best things are to do in a particular city. You can keep in contact with friends and family with emails, Skype and Face Time.
A Smart phone (and an iPad) can also be used as an alarm clock to wake you up when you have an early bus to catch. It's also your map, your notepad and your GPS.
Most fancy phones these days have good cameras.
You can obviously also use your device for entertainment on the bus: watch a video, listen to music, play games, record your heart rate, drink fake beer, read, write, edit photos and make collages.
These are websites we used a lot:
To find out what to do in a place or where to go next:
To book accommodation:
Cool Apps:
To keep in touch with family and friends:
Facetime – This app is similar to Skype. We use it to video call loved ones.
Viber – We use this when the wifi is not good enough for a video call.
Talkbox – Allows you to send voice messages
To help with Spanish/Portuguese:
Spanish Dict – this works offline too
Word Lens -works offline
Google translate app
Portuguese Dictionary free – This one is not as good as the Spanish Dictionary.
To help find our way around:
Google maps
CityMaps2go -download maps before hand to use offline, if you have GPS you can use your phone to locate where you are on the map
To help with the exchange rate:
XE Currency
2. A Travel Book – The rough guide to South America on a budget
It might be quite strange that I suggest a book while everything can be found on the internet but sometimes there is no internet…Like on the bus, or in Bolivia.
This is the only "real" book we brought with us – recommended by Willem and Andie. It has maps and suggestions on what to do and where to travel. We often read it in the bus for ideas. Many travelers have this book or something similar.
Be sure to get an updated version! We have the 2011 version, which is 2 years old and although it's still applicable, all prices for things are about double than whats written in the book.
3. Camera
A camera….seems obvious, but while we were packing I was considering leaving our bigger camera (DSLR) with its bigger lens at home because it seemed a bit bulky to carry around. But I'm glad we brought it with us because it takes much better photos than the little camera we have. There are so many beautiful views and opportunities for amazing photos. This trip has also taught us how to use more of our camera's features. So if you have a good camera and like taking photos, take it with.
4. Kindle
If you like reading, a Kindle is a good way to carry multiple books with you. You are then also able to download any book you like. Or you can get a Kindle app for your iPad/tablet.
5. Multi-Adapter Plug
The 2 point plugs (220V) which we have in RSA fit into most electric sockets we came across but a couple of times we needed to use our Multi-adapter which we bought at a travel shop in RSA. They also sell these plugs at the airport.
6. Photo adapter
I use this little device to put photos from our camera's memory card directly onto the iPad. We forgot the one we have at home, luckily our cousin in Joburg, Bruce, had one which he said we could use. We would definitely not have been able to share our photos so easily without this device.
7. Our own Sleeping bags
We bought sleeping bags because it was almost the same price we would have had to pay if we hired them for the Inca Trail. Our two sleeping bags can zip together to make one big bag which is quite nice. We also used them on some bus trips and in a few hostels when it was either very cold or the blankets provided were uncomfortably heavy.
8. Convertible Pillows
The pillows we had with us are the ones my sister and I bought for India at Joburg airport. They are super cool because you can convert them from a neck pillow to a small rectangular pillow. This made the airplane trips and a few bus rides much more comfortable. Some hostels also provide lousy pillows. (We do often go for the budget hostels so we can't expect too much but having a decent pillow helps a lot for a good night's rest.)
9. Towel
I was not sure if we should pack a towel because of limited space but I'm glad we did. A few hostels don't provide towels but you can hire them if you want for an additional cost. In Coroico there were not even towels for hire. We each packed a small towel. I don't like those silky, fold-up-in-a-little-pouch travel-towels so we both had a real towel.
10. Toilet paper and wet-wipes
In Peru and Bolivia there is approximately a 98% chance that there will be no toilet paper available in the bathroom (it's a surprise if there is), so its best you carry some around with you. This includes restaurants, busses and all public toilets. A few places charge you a fee to use the toilet and then usually give you toilet paper. In Chile, Argentina and Brazil you have a better chance of toilet paper. But not always.
We used wet-wipes for body-washing mostly on the Inca trail. They could also make you feel more fresh after a bus journey.
A small bottle of hand sanitizer is not a bad idea either.
11. 1st Aid Kit
We had quite a comprehensive yet compact 1st Aid Kit with us but we were fortunate not to need it much. I suppose it's better to have it and not use it than to not have one and need it. (The same goes for the toilet paper.)
Most places have a pharmacy or clinic, so don't stress too much.
What we did use: insect repellent, pain killers for headaches and some anti-histamine tablets
Contents of our first Aid Kit:
Plasters, gauze, bandage
Thermometer, tweezers
Anti-bacterial cream, Allergex cream, anti-fungal cream, anti-septic wash
Broad spectrum antibiotic course, anti-emetic pills (for nausea), anti-diarrhea pills
Rehydration sachets (electrolyte replacements), pain pills, anti-histamines, insect repellent
Malaria tablets – we took 12 Malanil tablets with us. We did not travel in a high risk malaria area, but if one of us developed symptoms highly suspicious of malaria and there was no hospital/clinic nearby, we could start treatment with 4 tablets daily. But remember prevention is better than cure!
For more travel health advice about malaria areas visit: www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk/advice/malaria.aspx
12. Mini hair dryer
This might seem like a luxury item but if you have long hair you will understand. It's not nice sleeping with wet hair or walking around in the cold with long wet hair that takes forever to dry. My hair dryer is small and folds up. For me, this was quite an essential item.
13. Sunscreen and caps/hats
The sun can burn you like crazy if you are not careful. I've seen people burn blisters in Peru! You burn even when the weather feels cold and at a high altitude, it feels cold. We carried our caps and sunscreen in our hand luggage. If you burn easily get a higher SPF – we had SPF 30 but we should rather have had one with an even higher protection factor.
14. Comfortable backpack and day pack
Everything you take with and accumulate you need to carry with you so you need to make sure you have a comfortable backpack.
15. Water-proof jacket
We didn't have water-proof jackets but it probably would have been nice to have. In Peru, for the Inca trail, we bought these cheap plastic covers in the main square. We used them once on the trail and they did keep us dry.
16. Buff
This simple piece of material can be worn around your neck like a scarf, and as head-gear. You don't necessary need the brand name buff. The original fakes work just as well.
17. She-wee
A She-wee (or Go-girl) is a plastic, funnel-shaped device which enables girls to wee standing up! Very useful if you are hiking all day or when toilets are unpleasant to sit on! No more squatting! This can be bought from Out-Door & camping stores.

Headline of the Day: "Bill De Blasio – The Elected King Of The Jews."
Lede of the Day: "The lefties are coming!"
National ad guru David Axelrod appears to have been informally advising Bill de Blasio's campaign: "Axelrod said Del Cecato gave him a sneak preview of the famous 'Dante' ad before it went on air. 'He showed me the ad after it was done and I knew instantly that it was a winner,' recalled Axelrod."
It was a tale of two meetings. The New York Post report on Mr. de Blasio's meeting with Mayor Michael Bloomberg: "Are we done yet? Mayor Bloomberg sipped coffee and tried his best to look interested as he spent an hour with his successor, Bill de Blasio, in the City Hall bullpen Wednesday."
While, according to The New York Times: "It was a scene freighted with political intrigue, a frisson of tension and a stark clash of personal style. Mr. de Blasio, in a drab, slightly frayed suit, clasped his hands in a pyramid as he listened to the French-cuffed Mayor Bloomberg talk of the arcana of sanitation service and hiring protocols."
After his Election Night loss to Mr. de Blasio Tuesday, Joe Lhota "proved he could party harder than a recent college student," according to the Daily News. "When his 22-year-old daughter seemed ready to quit the party and go home, he joked with her that she needed more Hoya spirit, a reference to the mascot of their shared alma mater."
Our Town looked at what happened to Assemblyman Micah Kellner, who waged a seemingly quixotic City Council campaign after losing his Democratic primary this year to Ben Kallos.
And The Daily Show touched on Mr. de Blasio's victory last night:

The 1988 Orioles: A Season to Forget
Going into the 1988 season, the Baltimore Orioles weren't sure what to expect, but knew they would struggle. Coming off a season in which they lost 95 games, finished 13th in the American League and ended the season losing 42 of their final 56 games, expectations weren't exactly high.
The offseason was spent retooling the team to the point where only 11 players from the previous season opener were among the 24-man roster. Reality and a glimpse of things to come hit early, however, as the Orioles were pounded by the Milwaukee Brewers, 12-0, on Opening Day in front of a then-franchise-record 52,395 at Memorial Stadium.
What followed was a tumultuous month of 20 straight losses, calls of sympathy from the nation's president, offers of help from priests and psychologists and national attention of the dubious kind.
On the 10th anniversary of the streak, we take a look back, game by painful game.
Game 1: Orioles Lose Opener to Brewers, 12-0
Game 2: One Bad Inning Chills Morgan, Orioles
Game 3: Indians Dump Orioles to 0-3
Game 4: Orioles Lose, 12-1
Game 5: Orioles Still Can't Get Going
Game 6: Orioles Bumble to 7-2 Loss
Game 7: And the Getting Beat Goes On
Game 8: Orioles Lose, 9-3, Tumble to 0-8
Game 9: Orioles Misplay It Again
Game 10: In Chill of Night, Orioles Get Colder

Sexy hands are crucial – especially from now until Labor Day. And you can't have sexy hands without sexy nails. The problem is that during the summer months, all the stuff we love doing – being outside at the beach, being in the water – makes it even harder to keep good nail care going.
Let's do some inventory. How are your nails looking – cracked, soft, in need of some repair?
Tips – we need tips! – to get those nails ready in time for July 4th weekend.
Curb those cuticles
Your nails don't stand a fighting chance unless those cuticles are under control. Two products will save your life. Burt Bees Cuticle Butter and – surprise! – Rosebud Lip Balm/Salve. This lip treatment also manages to soften cuticles like nothing else.
Keep those nails strong
Nailtiques is your best bet for strengthening nails, making them more resilient. Any trouble with nails softening/weakening – this is the trick. http://www.nailtiques.com
Also, you ALWAYS want to have a good base coat of nail polish on to reinforce and protect the nail.
Next – keep them bright and shiny. You want good color, and you want GOOD color.
A couple of problem areas to address –
Have you been having problems with yellowing nails? To fix 'em up, try soaking in lemon juice for a bout thirty minutes! This should help the problem disappear. And in the future, using that base coat of color will help out with the yellowing situation too. You need that base coat there BEFORE applying your colored polish so the color doesn't have direct contact with the nail – which causes all sorts of discoloration problems. The base coat works as a really good block to stop all that.
Have you been having problems with bubbly-polish? This is very common and easily correctable. Before applying your nail polish, roll the bottle between your hands instead of shaking the bottle up. The shaking is what causes the bubbles in the first place!
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize Keeping your hands in good shape is vital to keeping your nails that way too. Two names in the moisturizing game to never forget. One – Restoration hardware No Crack Hand Cream – great for your whole hand, keeps skin looking soft and pliant. Two – L'occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream, which people will travel to the end of the earth for.
And…ah, massage. As if you need an excuse. It is important to keep the blood flowing through your hands. So, get to rubbing…

European's Are Getting Fed Up With Islam
The head of Austria's right leaning political party, the Freedom Party (FPO), is calling for a ban on political Islam. Heinz-Christian Strache says Austria needs an "effective law banning political Islam" and that the country should also stop accepting new migrants and refugees adding "Let us put an end to this policy of Islamization as soon as possible."
Advertisement - story continues below
From RT:
He added that, otherwise, Austrians and Europeans "would come to an abrupt end." He went on to say that the current cap on new arrivals introduced by the Austrian government last year that amounts to 37,500 asylum seekers per year does not actually change anything. He also criticized a proposal recently introduced by the center-right Austrian People's Party (OVP), which involves the reduction of this cap by a half to 17,000 people per year.
"We need no cap and no halving of that cap – we need a zero immigration and in fact even negative immigration while all illegals and criminals [who are migrants] should be expelled from the country," he said during the party meeting, as cited by the Austrian APA news agency.
He also called for tougher measures against illegal migrants by saying that "those who try to enter [Austria] illegally, should be sent to a detention center." He also said that such measures should be accompanied by an "efficient" law banning political Islam.
"We do not want to leave the European Union, but we want a reform that would correct all its development failures," he said, stressing that the "welcoming culture" demonstrated its inadequacy in the view of the terrorist attacks carried out in Europe over the past years.
"It is not nationalism that people want, it is the nation state and partnership relations and cooperation" between European countries, he said, adding that "the nation state is not dead" as it is a "cultural achievement" and a "model of success" for Europe.
Austria, which has a population of about 8.7 million people, received more than 130,000 claims for asylum from people coming from the Middle East and Northern Africa since the summer of 2015 and took in one of the greatest numbers of refugees per capita alongside with Sweden.
Now about 600,000 Muslims, including those, who arrived during the refugee crisis, live in the Alpine country, accounting for about 7 percent of its population.

KO PROPO Aluminum RSx3-one10 Flection Servo #KO-30130
This is KO PROPO Aluminum RSx3-one10 Flection Servo. Flection means flexible and Curvature, it will touch the road with smooth cornering. With the delicate operation and enhanced torque of the newly developed core-less motor, we have acquired an unprecedented handling performance.
A completely newly designed core-less motor has succeeded in greatly reducing power consumption while pursuing extreme performance at a size that can be mounted on a low profile servo. We have dramatically reduced the probability of adverse phenomena such as weakness of servo due to the ESC BEC circuit current dropping.
After the primary anodizing, further cutting and a secondary anodizing is applied. The top case is manufactured through a double anodizing process and is finished by becoming very lightweight while securing adequate strength by cutting the inner thickness to the limit. A delicate and fearless design form was born, which imagined the suppleness and strength of Flection.
The black cable that is installed also has the softness that is optimum for handling while securing the necessary current capacity.
HCS (High speed Communcation System) is the new high speed communication system between the receiver to the servo. The HCS mode shortens communication time of the signal which is compressed. HCS compatible servos is changing mode automatically by signal from receiver. So HCS compatible servos can use with all receivers.

Dear Friends & Fundamentalists,
I'm writing to tell you that Fundamental Forces has quietly released our debut recording, entitled "Blue", over the summer. By "quietly" I mean a bunch of CDs showed up at my door in July & I've been haphazardly selling them at shows and sending them out to distributors.
Otherwise, I haven't really told anyone. In fact, I've just now updated my website with links to where you can buy a CD or download it from iTunes, Amazon, CdBaby and Bandcamp. We've been lucky in that we've gotten early radio play on KSER, KAOS, & KBCS; and we'll be on KEXP in the near future. In fact, just for fun, a few days ago I used Shazam to identify one of our tunes on KBCS, and then clicked through to download our album to my phone from iTunes.
In addition, we've had a lot of success generating fans outside of Seattle with our Internet radio efforts. You can now hear Fundamental Forces on Spotify, Jango, Soundcloud, Rhapsody, LastFm, Xbox, & soon to be Pandora. In fact, I've been getting emails, CD purchases, and Facebook fans from all over. We seem to be especially big in Israel & Turkey – Toda & teşekkür ederim!
All in all, things are pretty cool in our camp these days! So come hang out & celebrate with us at one of our upcoming shows. The next one is Thursday night at Lucid, where we'll be followed by Jason Goessl's newest ensemble.

Finally, I should mention that I'll be selling our CD for $5 at any live show. So, I'll see you there!

text: Hey everyone! After a 2-month hiatus, I'm back...and I'll try not to abandon my "fans" for too long this time. So a little update on my life and what's happening: I moved from coast to coast so here I am in North Carolina! Don't assume that the exclamation mark stands for excitement. Made the move with my whole family after living in the Bay Area for twelve years so this was a slightly tear-jerking experience for us. But Cupertino and California as a whole will always remain home for me <3 I've been telling everyone that I'm just going on a two year sabbatical and that I'll get out of NC as soon as possible (I'm hilarious, I know). As far as this new place is concerned, it's absolutely beautiful. You really get the feeling of being "one-with-nature" and the amount of peacefulness you would experience here is incomparable to any other place in the U.S....BUT only if you're staying here for vacation! But like I said, I'm here for a "two-year vacation" so I'm just going to hope for the best and try to enjoy it as much as possible. Wish me luck!

Birthday Gifts for Children
A person's birthday is the day in which they were born, or the anniversary of that birth. People celebrate their birthdays in many different ways including parties and gatherings of many different kinds. Birthdays are celebrated in many different cultures. The most prominent example of a special birthday is the celebration of Christmas. This is the day in which Christians and non-Christians alike recognize and celebrate the birth of Christ. On a birthday, it is a tradition for family members and friends to send birthday cards to someone having a birthday. That person will often receive gifts as well, especially if there is a party of some sort. The type of present depends on the tastes of the recipient. There is no better way to show you care about someone than buying them the perfect gift on their birthday. Well-planned and thoughtful gifts often become something the birthday person treasures for years. Here are a few tried and true ideas that have worked over the years:
For Girls
Many girls love dolls. If the little girl on your list already has quite a few dolls, you might want to consider buying her clothes or other accessories for those dolls. A doll house, car, or new outfits can add hours of fun to her favorite games.
Dress-up Clothes
Many little girls also love to play dress-up themselves. Buy a trunk full of dresses and shoes and the little girl can play make believe for hours on end.
Craft kits
Little girls also like to create things of their own. Watch for kits that allow them to decorate clothes, shoes, or make their own jewelry. You could even buy her a small digital camera along with some scrapbooking supplies to help her create her own memory book.
Religious children gifts-girls are often touched by items of sentimental value. If you buy her some type of religious children jewelry, a special religious book, or even a religious statue, it could very well be something she will cherish as she grows in her faith over the years.
For Boys
Train or Race Car Set
Boys play hard and need toys that can be rearranged when they get bored. Train and race car sets can often be moved from place to place and rearranged in different set ups to keep the boys entertained for hours on end.
Sports Equipment
Little boys love action and if they have a new football, basketball, or soccer ball, they will likely wear themselves out before the afternoon is done.
Science Experiment Kit
This type of gift is fun, but it also helps boys expand their abilities and imaginations.
Religious Children Gifts
There are many items that a little boy may like including a gold saint medal, religious books for their age range, and special statues or snow globes.

Dh said I think we could finish cleaning the garage in about an hour (I think dh is nuts) but, there are 28 days in February. If I spend 5 minutes every day - that is 2 hours and 20 minutes. Most of what needs to be done is quick - dump out a flower pot and move it to the greenhouse, pound in a nail and hang a tool, toss out a broken umbrella....
i realize im starting this late, but I spent more than ten minutes on the 1st, so im calling it good.
im not going to actually time my five minutes every day. Some days I will just do things like wash this bucket and put it back where it belongs
anybody else have a five minute challenge they want to try?

In this era when almost all federal budget process deadlines are routinely missed or completely ignored, it's hard to believe that the fiscal 2014 mid-session review of the budget was released yesterday, a full week ahead of the July 15 statutory deadline.
The mid-session review was released with virtually no fanfare. In fact, many of my budget geek friends who, trust me on this, live for the release of federal budget documents, didn't know it had been released until this morning.
If you're from the camp that thinks the deficit has been and continues to be too high, the mid-session review will put a smile on your face. According to OMB, the 2013 deficit will be $214 billion less ($759 vs $973) than what was estimated earlier in the year in the president's budget (take a look at Table 1). Most of this reduced forecast is the result of three factors: a $65 billion increase in revenues, a $43 billion reduction in discretionary spending and a $71 billion reduction in mandatory spending. Overall, spending is projected to be $154 billion lower than the original projection.
Again, if you think the deficit has been too high, the problem with this much lower forecast is that two of the three may well be one-time events. The increase in revenues mostly came from individual taxpayers accelerating income into 2012 in anticipation of the 2013 tax rate increase that was part of the fiscal cliff, and the $71 billion in what's classified as lower mandatory spending is the result of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac running a surplus rather than a deficit.
The third factor -- the reduction in discretionary spending -- is almost completely the result of the sequester that went into effect on March 1.
Revenues could be higher than anticipated in 2014, but that will have to happen because of faster-than-expected economic growth. That could be difficult given that the White House is already forecasting that the economy will grow by 4 percent in 2014.
A legislated revenue increase isn't even remotely likely, and the acceleration of 2013 income into 2012 means that revenues for 2013 (which will be collected in 2014) should be lower than past estimates.
Fannie and Freddie could earn another of what is still an unexpected surplus next year, and Congress and the president will either agree to the 2014 spending cap or another sequester will occur that will reduce discretionary spending.
And, of course, other unexpected events could have a positive budget impact. For example, suspension of U.S. military and foreign aid to Egypt and an earlier-than-projected withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan have both been discussed in recent days.
But OMB is forecasting none of these things in the mid-session review. As a result, it shows the fiscal 2014 deficit only marginally lower than 2013 both nominally ($750 billion vs $759 billion) and as a percentage of GDP (4.5% vs 4.7%).
Over the 10-year period from 2014 to 2013, OMB does show the deficit flattening out in the $500 billion to $600 billion range in nominal terms but falling dramatically as a percent of GDP from 4.5 percent to 2.1 percent.
The value of the long-term numbers should be seriously discounted, however. As this mid-session review shows conclusively, projections from just a few months ago can be...and often are...significantly incorrect. A projection of what the deficit will be a decade from now -- that is, five congressional elections, two and a half presidential elections, countless natural and manmade disasters, who-knows-how-many policy changes and at least a handful of economic ups-and-downs -- is far more likely to be accurate by accident than because of excellent analysis.
