I will soon be in Buenos Aires, Argentina for 17 days in December and would like to do some small excursions while there. I plan to fly to Iguaçu Falls and back, from Buenos Aires. I plan to spend 4 days there. I plan to see the falls from both sides.
Do you have any helpful hints? Is the light best early morning? From what i see on google earth it appears east/south facing. But it's difficult to tell.
From what I've read the accommodation is far from the falls requiring a bus/taxi ride - or any expensive stay at the Sheraton.
If I stay on the Argentinian side what is the earliest I can make it to the Brazilian side in the morning taking in to account public transit and the border crossing? As a photographer I value the early morning light so I might decide to spend a night on the Brazilian side if I can't get there early enough.
Similarly if I am on the Brazilian side until evening are there any difficulties in getting return transportation to the Argentinian side? Are the taxistas there fond of overcharging tourists?
Also any advice on water fall photography is appreciated - NDG, tripod....mosquito net - LOL?
I plan on a side trip to Colonia de Sacremento, Uruguay for a couple days. Any other photo rich sites nearby Buenos Aires I could go for a day trip?
I've been to Ushuaia, Calafate and El Chalten before. I'd love to go in to Salta and Juyjuy province but that looks like it will have to be a separate trip unless Salta and environs can be done in a meaningful 3 day stay.

Maine schools receive federal grant
17 schools to share $25 million
The Maine Department of Education said 17 schools across the state will share a nearly $25 million federal grant.
The grant will be used to improve educator evaluation systems and reward effective teachers and principals.
The 17 schools are in six districts: RSU 16 (Poland area), RSU 19 (Newport), Millinocket, Bangor, MSAD 11 (Gardiner), and RSU 86 (Fort Fairfield).
In a statement released by the Maine Department of Education, Governor Paul LePage said, "Both administrators and teachers want the same thing - fair and realistic measures for performance, professional development and help in improving teaching skills, and a system that rewards excellent teachers. This will allow more districts to engage in this work and more importantly, help them develop models that other Maine school districts can adopt or adapt for their needs."
The Maine Department of Education said 18 schools in five school districts across Maine are already doing similar work through the Maine Schools for Excellence program, which is funded through an earlier Teacher Incentive Fund grant.
Maine is one two states and 33 school systems or non-profits to be approved for this new round of TIF grants, out of more than 120 applicants, according to the Maine Department of Education.

Chilean director Sebastian Silva cements his status as one to watch in the horror genre with Magic Magic, an unsettling psychological thriller that plays on the universal fear of the unknown as Juno Temple's American student Alicia begins to unravel on a visit to Chile.
Alicia is visiting her cousin Sarah (Emily Browning) in rural Chile, staying with Sarah's boyfriend Augustin (Augustin Silva) and his sister Barbara (Catalina Sandino Moreno). Augustin has brought along a friend to keep Alicia occupied, an American named Brink (Michael Cera).
Not long after Alicia arrives, Sarah has to head out to Santiago for the night, leaving her cousin alone with a house full of strangers. Though Augustin, Barabara and Brink try to make Alicia feel welcome, the lack of phone reception and a growing sense of isolation starts to affect her, particularly as she struggles to get any sleep. Before long, Alicia becomes unhinged and not even the arrival of Sarah can calm her down.
Silva shoots the Chilean countryside beautifully while also using it to aid the story, creating an unfaltering sense of dread in even the most innocent of incidents. The more unravelled Alicia becomes, the more Silva begins to blur the lines of reality and nightmare, making us question what's going on. Is Brink really trying to torment her the way she thinks? Why does Barbara seem to dislike her so much? What's going on with that dog?
After impressing in recent supporting roles, particularly a bold performance in last year's Killer Joe, Juno Temple is outstanding at essaying the steady decline of Alicia's mental state. Temple throws herself into the role, going wherever the part requires in another brave turn devoid of any self consciousness.
Michael Cera's performance is almost as striking. Best known for playing awkward and sensitive in comedies, Cera uses those same qualities here but with a sinister twist. Brink is essentially the villain of the piece though just how villainous he is is up for debate. Nonetheless, Cera excels in making him a creepy and unusual character that appears to be taunting Alicia as much as trying to woo her.
Silva doesn't rely on cheap horror tricks and never tries to ramp up the scares. Instead he just slowly builds an oppressive atmosphere that grows to real hysteria in the third act as Alicia's madness begins to disturb those around her who can't understand what's going on any better than she can.
What makes Magic Magic such an effective horror is just how easy it is to imagine being in Alicia's shoes and how distressing it could easily become. That fear of isolation is relatable and it's easy to see how that can grow into feelings of paranoia and eventually the worry that you're losing your mind. Silva knows exactly how to manipulate these fears, all the while mixing them with offbeat comedy, making Magic Magic a memorable and jarring experience.

However, they provide complete packages through which you can grow and develop your business on the Internet. Before approaching a web consultancy, you should have a good idea about what you want. You should discuss everything with a web consultant and tell him your needs and requirements. Then you should ask for a quote to get an idea.
2) Experience - You should always hire a web consultancy which is experienced and has been in the business for a while. Ask for a portfolio and references so that you can get an idea about their quality of services. A portfolio will let you know the kind of projects a web consultancy has handled in the past. You can talk to references and ask for feedback from past clients. This will help you to anticipate what your relationship with them would be like.
3) Willing to Work Together - When you hire a web consultancy for designing a website or handling your business on the Internet, your reputation and image will be at risk. Therefore, it is very important that a web consultancy is willing to discuss everything with you at every step. A web consultancy should not impose its ideas on you. It should be willing to discuss your needs and requirements and work according to them. In case a web consultancy does not ask for your needs and requirements, you should look for a different company.
4) Ownership of the Website - Once a web consultancy has finished working on your site, you will want to use all kinds of texts, pages and images available within it. This is even more important if you wish to terminate your relationship with them in the future. Therefore, it is important that you ask for the ownership of your website as soon as they are finished. All the terms of the agreement should be clear even before hiring a web consultancy.
5) Easy Communication - It is possible that you hire a web consultancy in a different part of the world. Therefore, it is important to make sure that you will be able to easily communicate with them round the clock. Most of the companies like Spoton franchise UK provide high quality customer service so that customers do not face any problems in reaching the company's representatives.

I'm sorry to hear about your house situation ~ it must be an awful feeling and even worse when it is out of your control ~ I'm sure that the right house will come along at the right time though! On a brighter note ~ I love your hyacinths and your cushion is fabby. I've only tried a couple of times to crochet in the round and came up against the same problem as you did. I'll need to look at the ravelry advice and see if it helps me too. Take care :O)xReplyDelete
Hayley, I am so sorry to hear that you are having to move when you are not ready. I know exactly how that feels. I do know however, that even though it is hard work and quite stressful that when it is all sorted out you will be quite likely to end up being happier than you were before! On a crochet note, your cushion is delightful and very cheerful - I love it! RachaelXxReplyDelete
That's awful news, oh I feel so terrible for you :(ReplyDelete

Hello Hayley, I am so sorry to hear about your bad news.... however, do try to be positive about it, you may find something better, a cosier place, a more convenient location, who knows? Confronting negative experiences can make us stronger people and changes are not necessarily bad either. It will probably be a hassle in the beginning but hopefully everything will turn up well for you and your family in the end.ReplyDelete
I love your cushion, well done and keep up with your lovely, inspiring work!!
xx Pati
So sorry to hear about your news. I hope you're able to find that some positives come of it in the end.ReplyDelete
And like everyone else I LOVE your cushion cover! :D
Hello, I am new here. I love the things you do. Nice cushion cover!ReplyDelete
I'll be following your progress. :-)
Please do not worry and focus on the positive ok?
am so sorry about your news, that is terrible. Hopefully you will be able to find a home soon, which is better than where you are, settle in and live there for years. xxxReplyDelete
Oh Hayley!!! that is so sad and bad!!! I'll have you in my thoughts so you feel better and can find a great and better house!!!ReplyDelete
your cushion is LOVELY!!!! I now want to try one!
Oh... if you need a shoulder to cry, you can PM me in Ravelry (Shantilu)
Such a shame for you to have to relocate...I hope you can soon find somewhere new and beautiful to live!ReplyDelete
Your cushion is really Gorgeous! love those colours together...
I'm so sorry to hear about your house. I also rent and it's always at the back of my mind that the landlord could decide to sell/move in whenever he chooses. I hope you find somewhere quickly xxxReplyDelete
Just a quick comment to say I echo all the sympathies above and hope it all works out ok in the end for you. I've just found your blog and have really enjoyed reading it.ReplyDelete
Also you have battled the same flat circle issue that Heather from http://www.littletinbird.co.uk/ is experiencing so I have directed her to you as you seem to have the flat circle neatly sorted.

Well done for sorting out your circles!ReplyDelete
I totally understand about having to leave your home. I have had the same situation - I live in rented accommodation with my daughter. You never know how long you can stay and it is never yours. Last time I moved it cost £1,600 in upfront rental costs, not to mention more hundreds at the estate agency and for the removal. As a single mum I don't have that money. So it is not just the thought of re-locating, it is the logistics and the money that always scares me witless and causes so much stress. I have never got the deposit money back from a Landlord yet - they tend to have money difficulties and want to keep it! The last place I was in I had to leave as I paid the rent but the landlord did not pay the mortgage so it was re-possessed. As tenant you have no rights. In my new place where I have been a year all the red demanding letters have started to come here too (they don't tell the lenders the actual address, where they themselves live!). The mortgage is not being paid here either and has got into arrears - despite the fact I pay the rent every month, early. There is nothing I can do. Hopefully the landlord will sort it out. You run out of options - I was loaned the money last time. It looks like if I had to leave here, I again would loose my deposit. It is so unfair - in all cases the rent covers the mortgage and more and yet they do not pay it. I get checked out before they accept me as tenant but there are no checks for landlords. Its outrageous. You can't afford to buy anymore as they won't let you but renting can actually cost far more and you get nothing at the end of the day. Just worry, worry worry (and unfixed leaks and broken boilers etc.)
Sorry to whine on your blog but I wanted you to know that some of us do know what it is like and we sympathise with you. Hold tight because despite it all, the problems, the stress and the worry; it will all be ok. It always is - it always has been for me and I am sure it will be for you too. Try not to worry too much, it will all work out.xxx
Thank you so much for the lovely comments.ReplyDelete
Anonymous, You poor thing, that is so much worry on your shoulders. My heart goes out to you and your daughter. Please, if you read this, let me know how you get on. I'd love to hear that you're doing ok and that you are settled.

Professional golfer Bubba Watson recently grabbed a lot of attention with the April Fools' week publication of a video showing him using a hovercraft golf cart to tool around the links.
Now we have a video on how to make your own hovercraft. Jonny Philips and Richard Ambrose, hosts of National Geographic Channel U.K.'s I Didn't Know That series, demonstrate that a piece of plywood and a leaf blower can actually make a hovercraft that glides across a gymnasium floor pretty smoothly.
The idea is to create a cushion of air between the vehicle and everything below it. The larger the vehicle, the more efficient it can be at maneuvering over rough terrain—and even over water—if it has the right underbelly construction.
Bubba Watson quipped that some folks would probably rather drive the hovercraft golf cart than actually play golf. In the YouTube video, he insinuates that he drove a golf cart before he ever considered golfing for a living.
More than 6.7 million people have viewed Watson's video, produced in collaboration with sunglass maker Oakley, which signed Watson to a sponsorship deal just a few months ago. As reported last week by BusinessWeek, the golf cart was produced not as a planned business departure from sunglasses to all-terrain vehicles, but instead with the idea of creating a viral video. Seems they were successful.

Pre-teen whale mother may be the youngest yet
Aug 08 2012
She's not yet reached her teens, but she's a proud new mother who may have set a record for youthful impregnation.
The youngest known mom from the endangered southern resident killer whale pods displayed a new calf off Spieden Channel in Haro Strait Monday.
The baby was seen within hours of its birth with mother J-37, also known as Hy'Shqa, who is 11 1 old. /2 years
"As far as I know, it's a new record," said Ken Balcomb, executive director of the Center for Whale Research in Friday Harbour.
"With a gestation of approximately 17 months, she must have been impregnated around January 2011, when she was about 10 years old."
The new baby has been given the number J-49, bringing the number of whales in the three pods to 86. However, because of high mortality, calves are not officially added to the Canadian list until they are a year old. It's the second calf born to the southern residents this year.
The mother was photographed shortly before noon Monday, with no sign of a calf, and was then seen at 2: 30 p.m. with the calf, which was still displaying fetal folds in its blubber.
The calf appears healthy and was breathing without any problem, Balcomb said
Hy'Shqa was initially on her own, with the rest of the pod spread out. But heading toward the Strait of Georgia, they were joined by other whales, which started supporting the baby on their backs and jostling it, Balcomb said.
"On previous occasions, we have seen very new calves being supported, or pushed around, by other whales in the community, perhaps in some sort of new-whale-baby welcoming and bonding ritual," Balcomb said.
It seems similar to get-togethers in human families, when everyone wants to hold the new baby, he said. "There are amazing parallels."
One element working in the new mother's favour is that the calf's grandmother, J-14, is extremely productive, with three living offspring. It's believed the great-grandmother is J2, known as Granny, who, at 100 years old, is the oldest orca in the southern resident community.
Matings usually appear to be instigated by the matriarch and often by the mother of the male, Balcomb said.
However, in this case, it's possible the father is L-87, who has been hanging around J-Pod, he said.
"There are some interesting dynamics," he said.
Meanwhile, today marks the 42nd anniversary of the Penn Cove capture, when at least five southern resident whales were killed and another seven were taken to aquariums during an ambush off Whidbey Island.
The only survivor is Lolita, who lives at Miami Seaquarium. Animal activist groups have made repeated efforts to have Lolita released to a seapen in the Washington/Vancouver Island area, but Seaquarium spokesmen say she could not survive out of her tank.
In Victoria, whale activist Diane McNally will distribute information sheets on Government Street from noon to 2 p.m. today.

Introduction: Drive a Car With Menox Hand Controls
Items needed:
Car equipped with Menox hand controls (2014 Mini Cooper Paceman)
Automatic transmission
Spinner knob (optional)
Auxiliary function buttons (optional)
Brake lock (optional)
Hand controls exist to assist disabled individuals in driving. There are many different types of hand controls; they can be installed on the left or right side depending on the individual's needs. I will be focusing on hand controls installed in a 2014 Mini Cooper Paceman. Additionally, I will be giving instructions on basic functions without the assistance of the auxiliary function buttons that are optional--since the car I will be demonstrating with does not have those options installed. I may reference some of the options, so that is why I have them listed.
Basic functions:
The Menox hand controls function in a "push-pull" configuration. To use the brake, you push the lever forward. To accelerate you pull the lever back towards you. In the Paceman, the lever is located on the right-side installed next to the center console. The Auxiliary buttons are located on the left side of the handle for easy access with your right thumb. Some of the options available for the aux buttons: Horn, turn signals, cruise control, windshield wipers, and high beams. There is also a brake lock button located on the front part of the handle, accessible by using the index or middle finger.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Starting the Vehicle
1. With your right hand holding the brake in, push the 'start' button on the dashboard. If you can reach it with a finger on your right hand, just do it that way, otherwise hold the break with your left hand and hit the button using your right hand.
2. Engage the break with your left hand by pushing the lever forward. With your right hand, disengage the parking brake. (if applicable)
Step 2: Shifting Into Reverse
- With the brake still engaged with your left hand, shift out of park and into reverse with your right hand.
With your right hand, take over holding the brake, moving your left hand to the steering wheel.
Release the brake and allow the lever to go back to its neutral position. You should be slowly moving back now.
Turn the wheel with your left hand as needed to avoid hitting anything, keeping your head turning to watch behind you and to your sides. I mainly use my side and rearview mirrors, since I cannot twist my body easily.
Step 3: Shifting Into Drive
- When you're clear of all obstacles and ready to shift into drive, push the brake forward with your right hand. When you come to a complete stop move your left hand on to the brake (handle) and use your right hand to shift into 'drive'.
- Once in drive, move your right hand back to the brake handle and your left hand back on to the steering wheel.
- You can now accelerate as needed by pulling the lever back towards you.
Step 4: Steering and Turning
Steering is done with the left hand with or without the assistance of a steering knob. A steering knob would commonly be placed at the 10 o'clock or 7 o'clock position on the steering wheel, depending on personal preference.
Steering is no different with hand controls, with the exception that a spinner knob is legal to possess with hand controls installed. It is not required that you have one, but they are useful if you do not possess normal strength and flexibility in your hand and/or wrist.
Coordinating turn signals:
1. While driving, when you approach a turn, loosely slide your hand downward (for left turns) or upward, (for right turns) keeping a finger extended outward to hit the turn signal. Refer to your local driving ordinances to find out how long you are required to signal before a turn.
2. Before turning, move your left hand upward to grasp the spinner knob, and turn the wheel as needed to complete your turn.
Note: If you have the option to get the turn signals installed as an auxiliary button on the handle, I suggest you have that done. You'll find that it's difficult to engage the turn signal lever while the vehicle is in a turn.
Step 5: Parking the Vehicle
- Make sure you bring the vehicle to a complete stop before continuing. Hold in the brake with your left hand.
With your right hand, shift the vehicle into park.
With your right hand, engage the parking brake.
You can now release the brake.
Hit the start button on the dashboard to turn off the vehicle.

Underground dining and pop-up restaurants aren't anything new. The seemingly exclusive events have been gaining popularity in cities all over the country for years now, and in some cities you could dine out seven days a week and never set foot in a proper restaurant.
Dallas has been slower to the party. While David Anthony Temple has been cooking up underground meals in Dallas since 2009, he's for the most part the only consistent show in town. He currently serves up secret suppers in a semi-secret Deep Ellum location, but the dinners are only a staging ground for a new restaurant he's planning to open. When the doors of his new concept, called Twenty-Seven, open, his secret dinners will probably close.
Nicole Gossling used to work with Temple as his sous. Now she runs her own dinners, usually one a week and also in Deep Ellum. Gossling leverages her relationship with Urban Acres, a local organic market in Oak Cliff where she volunteers part-time, to secure some of her ingredients. The result is a menu that features as many local and organic ingredients as possible, Gossling says. Her latest, this weekend, adds a murder-mystery component -- a nod to Halloween.

Support Our Journalism
These diners may not have a permanent address or restaurant associated with them, but they're hardly underground and they're not at all exclusive. Organizers in Dallas have worked tirelessly putting together formal email announcements and blasting them out to massive lists. Local blogs have given the events significant coverage, and Richard Chamberlain has enlisted a PR company to promote his latest, a two-night pop-up dinner in Addison featuring an $89 four-course menu.
Bar 828 is a new, temporary bar in Oak Cliff that will pop up for three weekends beginning tonight. This concept, forged by bartender Michael Martensen, has gotten attention from Crave, the Dallas Morning News and more. It's a stark contrast to other markets, where news of these events tends to travel by word of mouth, dinners are invite only, and if you're not in the know, you're not getting in.
But underground or not, the dinners are often worthy ventures. Most seat diners at massive communal tables, and the tone is more social than a typical restaurant. Strangers that wouldn't otherwise interact find themselves engaged in random conversation, and chefs are driven to be innovative and creative.
Dallas could use more of it, but the fact that it's happening at all is welcome -- a sign of a growing and improving food scene.

Quotable Quotes-Crisp & Catchy Stories
The highest virality happens with two kinds of content viz. videos and quotable quotes. Since videos can be more expensive to produce regularly, quotable quotes are most powerful to reach large audiences and build powerful brand in shortest possible time. A quotable quote really becomes quotable when it tells a complete story and can be understood on its own. I recently met Mr NK Chaudhary, the Founder of Jaipur Rugs and he told me, "Every rug tells a storyâ€. I realised the shorter the quote is, the more memorable and impactful it becomes. What makes a quote quotable A quote becomes truly quotable when it conveys a complex or powerful idea with minimum number of words. Here are some other points which need to be kept in mind when designing quotable quotes for digital storytelling of people and organisations:- 1)     Relevant image- A digital quote has two important components viz the quote and the image. The image needs to be relevant and must compliment the text or speak the same message. Images of the writer of the quote are powerful but needs to represent the same mood. 2)     The idea- The quote must convey a relevant idea which enhances the brand of the person or the organisation. Even if an existing idea is repeated, it can be told in more catchy, simpler or powerful way. 3)     The language- The language needs to be a as simple as possible. Simplicity goes viral, not complexity. The shorter the quote is the more crisp it becomes for the brain to munch upon and remember. 4)     Emotional connect and appeal- Before publishing, rethink whether the quote connects emotionally or appeals to human emotions. A picture went viral because it had a cute little girl hugging a tree and conveying the importance of environment and eco-friendliness. 5)     The Trivia- Besides the logo, the quotable quote can have the website address of the person / organisation, the social media links and similar information. 6)     The Colours- Colours can speak about the brand and consolidate it further. Colours also need to match the tone of the words in the quote. The more quotable you are, the more memorable you become. The more memorable you become the more you get quoted by speakers in public speeches and journalists in mass media. The more you get quoted, the more you win the share of the hearts, not just mindshare. Want to win share of hearts by getting quotable?

If you are going to run your country broke then you probably want to be using Cloud services inside your borders. As the Greek crisis rolls on, in the past week, strict capital controls have been put in place that basically block bank transfers and credit card payments outside of the country. For a relatively high-tech country this poses a major problem as consumption of Cloud services is relatively high. Unlike the Iceland crisis of 2008, Greece is highly-reliant on external Cloud services.
Ed: Thanks for the head's up on this one Phil.
Greek startups felt the impact in a big way when capital controls put in place by the government prevented them from accessing cloud services outside the country. Specifically, the government prohibited any money transfers outside Greece without approval from a Ministry of Finance commission. That included, for example paying for infrastructure services like Amazon Web Services. One could argue that it was akin to the government shooting themselves in the foot, while tying the hands of these young companies. – Source
So far the stories, of which there are few, are rotating around the impact on start-ups. What we aren't hearing or seeing, yet, is the impact on large companies and government itself, who are also reliant on Cloud. Nor are we seeing the impact of this on every day citizen's usage of Cloud services. Though it will be coming as this article rather ominously reports.
Some Apple Inc. customers in Greece started to experience a disruption to service Tuesday as controls on the movement of money began to grip the indebted nation.
"On June 30, we tried to charge your account for your iCloud space of 20GB, but there is a problem with your payment details," said one e-mail received by Bloomberg News staff based in Athens. "If we don't manage to renew your subscription, your account will be downgraded to the free 5GB space program." The user has a standing monthly payment for a 0.99-euro-cent ($1.11) payment for the storage service. – Source
This interruption is increasingly significant the longer the controls remain in place. Worse, if Greece ends up with junk money, as some have predicted, actually being able to afford Cloud services may be impossible. With over 4,000 Cloud services in the market today, the disruption will be high.
Greek companies that are reliant on Cloud will be in crisis mode now. These controls have had the, probably, the unintended consequence of dropping a bomb on all of Greece's internet connections.
The problem demonstrates a hidden risk in today's otherwise efficient vertical disintegration. Taking for granted the easy flow of money across borders, system designers never foresaw a situation in which companies with adequate funds would find that they couldn't pay foreign vendors.
"Greek companies are not able at this moment to pay for hosting (Amazon), storage (Dropbox), email services (MailChimp) and many other services," says Jon Vlachogiannis, a Bay Area entrepreneur, in an email. Without these services, otherwise viable businesses are in trouble. – Source
We'll be keeping an eye on this as it develops. While some companies may extend credit to Greek users, you can understand they will be very nervous about doing that given that the country's finances are incredibly unstable. As time rolls on, this could cripple Greece's government and economy far more effectively that austerity measures every could.

Crucial's High-Performance RAM - Ballistix PC2-8000 EPP Tested (Page 1)
DDR-2 memory has really become the memory for the future or at least for the next couple of years. Its ability to deliver speeds well beyond the ability of the aging DDR memory standard makes it a far better option.
When DDR-2 made its debut to the memory world, honestly we were expecting to see another Rambus incident - another high priced, latency riddled memory that no one wanted or could afford. Intel moved all its platforms to the DDR-2 memory standard, including its notebook and Celeron-D platforms. While this was good to see, AMD's adoption to the DDR-2 memory standard with their AM2 platform really put the nail in the coffin for the DDR memory standard. And in fact, now no new platforms are being made to support DDR, all AMD and Intel based system now only support DDR-2 memory.
Every major memory company has taken DDR-2 to heart and they will want to in order to survive in the memory industry, and with Core 2 and its supporting chipsets now making high FSB overclocks, the emphasis is on high speed memory modules for gamers and overclockers.
Crucial has been one of the biggest memory manufacturers for the past 5 years. It has been one of, if not the biggest, online memory retailer of all time with extremely reasonable prices as well as extremely reliable modules and customer support.
Today we have from the Crucial labs their Ballistix PC2-8000 2GB memory kit. We will put it through its paces and see if it would make a good choice for a gaming system or overclocker.

Social unrest here has often been triggered by outside events, making Iraq's recent elections particularly worrisome to Saudi leaders, who political analysts say opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq partly because of its potential effect on this region.
… forming a "Shia crescent"?
The prospect of even incremental Shiite political gain has alarmed Sunni Muslim leaders across the Middle East, who fear that long-suppressed Shiite communities such as this one astride the kingdom's lifeblood oil industry will push for an ever-greater role in government. Sunni heads of state have warned the Bush administration that the democratic reform it is encouraging in Iraq and Saudi Arabia could result in a unified "crescent" of Shiite political power stretching from here through Lebanon, Iraq and into Iran.
Could result? But there are bigger prizes than Lebanon… Take a look:
Tell me those people, united by a sea, do not mind the violent intolerance of Wahabis in The Saudis' Kingdom In Arabia or the Salafists in Iraq. Tell me that those people don't know that the oil is under their feet and that the retrograde Sunni extremists are on the wrong side of history.
"People hurt when they see the milk from the cow flowing to the center and the west, with only a little staying here," said Tayseer Khunaizi, a professor of finance at King Fahad University of Petroleum and Minerals in Dhahran. "Without the conquest of this region, the kingdom of bin Saud would never have survived. But deep inside of us, this is considered an occupation."
As Newsweek said
All the countries in the region with large Shiite populations—all those that are sending pilgrims to Iraq's ancient shrines—are watching these developments with rapt attention. Already you're beginning to hear rhetoric that hasn't been bruited since the height of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's power in Iran. Ali Al-Ahmed of the dissident Saudi Institute in Washington, for instance, says the world should stop talking about the Persian Gulf or, as the Arabs call it, the Arab Gulf. "It's the Shia Gulf," he says. "Look at the people who live around it, at least 90 percent of them are Shiites. The U.S. must take that into account. The Shiites are sitting on all that oil."
For now, Shia in Tskia keep their heads down
"There is no particular Shiite interest in the municipal councils … There is national interest, and Shiites are part of this country," the Dammam-based revered Shiite scholar told AFP.
But not for long.

Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters and Stony Plain Records recently released the Hope Radio Sessions on DVD. Recorded at Wellspring Sound in Acton on April 21 and 22, 2007, the studio setting is responsible for an excellent sound quality - an aspect that often suffers in live recordings.
The close and intimate setting provides viewers the ability to feel part of the audience of friends and acquaintances present during the making of the Hope Radio CD, which is one of the Broadcasters best live releases to date.
In setting the ideal atmosphere immediately - 'hope' being the theme of the CD and the DVD the producer gives viewers a quick glance of a baseball jersey hanging upon the wall behind the band. It displays the number 42 and the name [Jackie] Robinson, the former Brooklyn Dodger who became the first African-American to play in the major leagues. An athlete who broke through countless boundaries, the first to be accepted, and become one of the greatest players of all-time, his moral fiber was one that undoubtedly contained a huge amount of hope. (This is appropriate for another reason as well, as Ronnie is known to be a huge baseball fan.)
Following a wonderful introduction by friend and admirer Rev. Deborah J Blanchard, who points out the soothing and spiritual aspect of Earls talent, he and the Broadcasters perform "Bobbys Bop." The progressive blues romp and brisk jazzy melody finds Earl and keyboardist Dave Limina trading solo duties. Pay special attention to Limina, and the manner in which the Berklee alumnus exerts his simultaneous talents on the B-3. One can listen to "Bobbys Bop" repeatedly, and hear something new from both Earl and Limina each and every time.
Earl then gets deep into slow blues expressionism in "Blues For the Homeless," in which his communicative licks talk amiably to the audience. The guitarist displays his unique ability to play a slow blues with altruistic licks of hope and harmony, which apply a facet of optimism into the songs title and subject matter. He then gets the small crowd standing for a vigorous performance of "Eddies Gospel Groove." The songs Latin feel is augmented by Liminas organ technique, as both he and Earl bring a Santana element to it, especially early on.
Prior to the band entering an eight-minute blues excursion of multiple elements, the intro is climactic in "I Am With You."
"Kay My Dear" summons a tender slow blues atmosphere again, a place where Earl is at his best. "New Gospel Tune" takes it in a gospel direction, a blues approach in which hes quite at home with these days as well, as his spiritual attribute and warm personality shine more than ever in these performances.
That partially describes night one of the recorded performance.
Night two is a continuation of the soothing instrumental blues of Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters, made up of Earl on guitar (Stratocaster, of course,) Limina on organ and piano, Jimmy Mouradian on bass, and Lorne Entress on drums.
The DVD is a desirable companion to the actual Hope Radio CD, primarily because of its additions and bonus features, which include a wonderful acoustic rendition of "I Shall Not Be Moved," and an intimate interview with the blues guitar master himself, conducted by his friend, Holger Peterson, founder of Stony Plain Records.

A major--and surprising--overhaul at Daytona International Speedway has put Joie Chitwood III at the helm of the nation's second most famous racetrack.
Ironically, Chitwood held the same position, plus that of chief operating officer, at Indianapolis Motor Speedway just over a year ago. He left IMS to become vice president of business development for International Speedway Corp., which owns the Daytona track. In that position, Chitwood was responsible for all 13 of ISC's racing facilities.
Chitwood replaces Robin Braig, who was released, effective immediately. Braig came under fire in February when the Daytona 500 was delayed by more than two hours because of a large pothole on the track.
Chitwood became IMS president in December 2004.

By Georgia Savage
I was born in the city, pretty much in the middle of Melbourne, far far away from the green fields of agriculture. I went to a school where farming was never presented as an genuine career option, and it was a time before kitchen gardens were something found in a school.
Despite this, two years ago I finally discovered the pure joy of growing food. Of digging into the earth and gently placing a cobweb of roots into a suitably sized hole. Of carefully nurturing that plant through shooting green leaves and flowering vegetables until in my hands was a zucchini, a tomato, an ear of corn. I was hooked, and I wanted to learn more about growing food, I wanted to learn how to grow enough to feed others – I wanted to become a farmer.
That's a big statement for a city slicker that is based on a romantic notion of beautiful sunrises, connectedness with nature and fluffy, yellow, tweeting chicks. I needed to test this craving I had to return to land – well, to go there in the first place really.
It was at this time, riding on my bike down Canning St, I noticed a small sign asking me 'Did I want to become a garlic farmer?' I didn't much like garlic, but the farming part certainly appealed to me. Here was a new program, for people exactly like me, who wanted an opportunity to try growing food on a larger scale. I figured not liking garlic might give me an advantage as I could safely avoid inadvertently eating all my hard work and potential income.
With barely another thought, I signed up to the Pop Up Garlic Farmer program run by Farmer Incubator!
The program began in March with a workshop, and the next 9 months followed in a haze of familiarising myself with farm tools, weeding through endless amounts of stinging nettles and building my sun tan the honest, hardworking kind of way. I learnt about soil science and garlic varieties, I leant what terms like 'cultivating' and 'breaking pasture' actually mean. I laughed and shared time with my fellow farmers, and I grew a healthy 500 bulbs of garlic.
In December we harvested our crop, which I have shared amongst family and liberally used in my cooking (now a garlic convert!). I have developed the confidence and some assurance in my genuine interest and ability in farming to pursue it further. If you think you might have it in you too, but you want to test the waters with a fun and rewarding experience, get involved in the program in 2016. I'll be there as one the facilitators and we can work on our tans together!

Using Meters for Healing (and Team) Improvement
I don't know about you, but I don't often glance at my meters in instances. After all, I'm the only healer there. However, there are a few things you should be paying attention to in order to become awesomer. That way, when I hit the raids, I won't be running OOM or anything nasty like that.
Oh, the dirty dirty overheal! Mine is definitely lower than it was in Wrath, but it needs to be EVEN LOWER. I'm aiming for under 10%.
Granted, some overheal we can't avoid just by the nature of how certain spells work. If I hit COH and 4 people are hurt and 1 person is not, well there's overheal on the person who doesn't need the heal, but COH was still the most efficient spell for the situation.
Also, here are people's health bars at the end of a boss fight. Notice how much mana I've conserved. Notice how low their health is. HAH!
If someone other than you is supposed to be dispelling something that you can't, take a peek at this display. Make sure that they're doing their job so you aren't wasting mana "healing through" something that can be avoided. Then holla at the person screwing up.
Damage Taken
Look at damage taken. It should be mostly the tank. If someone else's numbers are creeping up there, you have problems. This is the person who is standing in the bad or not managing aggro.
Occasionally it is the tank's fault for not picking up a stray add. NO, that was a trick! The add was supposed to be CC'ed! Remember, this isn't wrath.
Damage taken is a good way to find culprits who are eating up your mana through unnecessary heals and yell at them. Or let them die. Or both.

I put a set of Eibach springs in my 530. They lowered the car by about 35mm, but, it is as hard as a rock. If my drivers seat didn't have springs in it I wouldn't have any teeth left. Also, the car didn't have a rattle in it. I spend all my time now banging the ash tray back and holding up the glove box lid.Originally Posted by kraulto
After I stuck these in someone told me that you can get lowered springs with the same poundage as stock springs - probably best to go there. Gotta say though that the car does go round corners a lot quicker then it used to.

"All that infrastructure will be built using public-private partnerships, which are essentially cash machines for construction companies, corporate lawyers, and Bay Street financiers." — Warren (Smokey) Thomas, OPSEU President
Toronto (29 Feb. 2016) — The 2016 Ontario Budget continues a massive multi-year transfer of wealth that is "the biggest unreported story in Ontario," says the President of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU/NUPGE).
Ontario budget contains more cuts and privatization of public services
"Liberal budgets since the recession have focused on cutting public services and pouring money into privatized infrastructure projects," Warren (Smokey) Thomas said after the budget was introduced on February 25. "This budget is no different. The cuts continue. The privatization continues. A Niagara Falls of money is pouring out of government and into the private sector."
Program spending in Ontario has plunged from 17.9 per cent of GDP in 2009-2010 to 16.2 per cent today, the budget states. The difference equals $13.2 billion a year — a number that will climb as program spending's share of GDP drops to 15 per cent by 2018-2019.
"The $137 billion the Liberals plan to spend on physical infrastructure over the next 10 years will all be paid for by sales of public assets and cuts to services for people," Thomas said. "All that infrastructure will be built using public-private partnerships, which are essentially cash machines for construction companies, corporate lawyers, and Bay Street financiers."
The budget contains other wealth transfers as well, he said.
Wynne's budget helps corporations and developers at the public's expense
"By moving billions out of the female-dominated public sector and into the 88 percent male construction sector, Kathleen Wynne is widening the gender-wage gap," he said. "By selling beer and wine in grocery stores, she is moving alcohol profits from public coffers to grocery chain profits. By making us all pay more to drive to work while giving corporate polluters a free ride, she's fighting climate change on the backs of those who can least afford it.
"Ed Clark wrote every page of this budget," he said, referring to Premier Kathleen Wynne's ex-banker adviser. "What we needed was a budget in which people matter more than bankers. What we needed was a budget written by Bernie Sanders."
Modest spending increases in the budget for some public services are paid for by cuts to others, Thomas said. The spending plan includes $800 million in as-yet-unidentified spending cuts. It also aims to continue wage restraint across the provincial public sector.
The National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) is one of Canada's largest labour organizations with over 360,000 members. Our mission is to improve the lives of working families and to build a stronger Canada by ensuring our common wealth is used for the common good. NUPGE

Nina Nesbitt Reveals First Concert, Celebrity Crush + More [POP DIVE]by Mandi Salerno | PopCrush
When Nina Nesbitt chatted with PopCrush, we picked her brain for some of her best and earliest pop culture memories.
The Scottish singer threw it back with us in a round of Pop Dive to reminisce on some of the biggest pop moments of her childhood. She clued us in on the first album she ever purchased and the first concert she ever attended, which (spoiler) happened to be a blast. Nina even shared a funny story about her "totally cool" parents and revealed what show she loved as a kid that they might not've been totally cool with her watching. Oh, and her first celebrity crush? Totally unexpected from the doe-eyed blonde who writes songs about broken hearts and having fun with friends!
Check out Nina's pop past in her Pop Dive video up above! And don't miss out on her acoustic performance of 'Just Before Goodbye' below.

Today, Lt. Governor Dan Patrick chose State Senator Charles Perry to Chair the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Water, and Rural Affairs. Additionally, Perry was named a member of the Committee on Higher Education, the Committee on Health and Human Services and the Committee on Criminal Justice.
"What a humbling honor to be appointed to a chairmanship my first session in the Texas Senate," said Sen. Charles Perry. "My position on this committee will ensure a strong voice for the citizens in the 51 counties I represent in rural West Texas."
"Throughout my time in the Texas Legislature, I have made securing our future water needs a top priority," continued Perry. "I look forward to working with my fellow Senators to ensure Texas continues to address our water infrastructure so that our state's future remains strong and our agricultural needs are met."
A senator has not been granted a chairmanship their first session in the Senate since 1993. Earlier this week, Lt. Governor Patrick realigned and consolidated committees, reducing the number of total committees by 22%.
"I look forward to working with my fellow Senators on the Higher Education, Health and Human Services, and Criminal Justice Committees," said Perry. "I am excited to continue working closely with Texas Tech Chancellor Robert Duncan in the area of higher education as I value his expertise and institutional knowledge in this area."
"As Lt. Governor Patrick stated, 'It is a new day in Texas'", continued Perry. "I am very thankful that he trusted my leadership to play a fundamental role in formulating the policies that will shape the future of Texas. I have no doubt that under the strong leadership of Lt. Governor Patrick the Senate will lead the charge in passing conservative legislation that people of Texas overwhelmingly requested at the ballot box this last cycle."
Dear Senator Perry, I am a resident of Stamford, Tx. I was born here & lived most of my life here. We get our water from Stamford Lake. Due to the drought, our only source of water will soon be gone. According to our mayor, we only have enough water for 2-3 years. This is a well known bass fishing lake, where fishing tourneys have been held & fisherman from all over the state have come to participate. Stamford's infrastructure is over 70 years old. Recently we had a major break & we were out of water for 2 days. The City workers worked 18 hours trying to repair it. A local welder was able to construct a "barrel" to repair the line, because what they received in parts to repair wasn't workable. We praise & are blessed by our City workers, the local welder & the other residents who worked diligently to get this repaired. We need help....fast! Our pump station is antiquated & we as a community do not have the reserved funds to replace water mains/pipes, pump station, invest in a reclaimed water project like Abilene has recently began. If we can't get emergency assistance, we will as a town slowly cease to exist. We have built a new high school, gym & middle school in the last few years. We have a super Walmart that recently opened. Stamford has a rich heritage, being the home of the Texas Cowboy Reunion, the world's largest amateur rodeo & Swenson Land & Cattle Ranches. Please help our hard working residents by helping us obtain funds to solve our water problems. Thank you for your time, God speed. You can reach me via email: email@example.com Sincerely, Dawn Patterson

About the Gallery
Galerie Hervé Bize opened in 1989, when founder Hervé Bize was 22 years old. Located in central Nancy, close to the historic Place Stanislas, the gallery occupies a former music store, with multiple exhibition spaces that open directly onto a courtyard. In 1994, renovation work revealed a suite of Art Nouveau frescoes, which Bize has preserved. Among the few major galleries in France that is based outside of Paris, Hervé Bize maintains an intergenerational program of artists working in a variety of media. Since 2009, the gallery has represented the estate of André Cadere and is currently working on the artist's catalogue raisonné. From the late 1980s onward, Hervé Bize has also worked closely with Francois Morellet. From 1993 to 2008, Bize published Art & Aktœr, a quarterly periodical dedicated to art events in the East of France and Luxembourg, and writes extensively on modern art, including two books, on the French artist Jean Hélion and the Dada movement, respectively, both published by Editions Cercle d'Art. In 2012, Bize was named a Chevalier des Arts et Lettres by the French Minister of Culture.

New Favs
Just put this up in the shop.
I wish there was a magic button to stop time and sew awhile. I find it so relaxing sometimes. Unfortunately, when there are deadlines and requirements, which are financially fabulous, I usually start working on a new project that I've been thinking about for awhile. I found these blank books at a local craft store and removed the softcover. I rebound them with chipboard, covered them in this great fabric, and restrung them with waxed linen cord. The enclosed paper is thick and feels lineny. They measure about 6 1/2" x 4 1/2". They feel great in my hand.
These are inspiring me as of late.
These Etsy shops are on my favs list.
