Jesus Christ gave his disciples (by extension, priests) the power not only to "loose" sins (i.e., forgive in god's name), but also to "bind" (i.e., impose penances: Matthew 16:19, 18:18; John 20:23), as the representatives of God and ambassadors of His mercy. The absolution imparted by the priest is not a mere expression of hope but a sacramental, objective reality. One also learns humility by this practice, receives additional grace in order to avoid sin, and attains a certainty of forgivenes, which is superior to the mere subjective feelings. This Catholic practice is frimly grounded in Scripture and early and constant Christian Tradition.
Catholics are required to repent of (contrition) and confess all mortal, or grave, sins to a priest, in order to be absolved. The priest assings a penance (satisfaction), which removes the temporal punishment of sin. The famous Catholic writer G.K. Chesterton wrote:
"...the Church deduces that sin confessed and adequately repented is actualy abolished; and that the sinner does really begin again as if he had never sinned...God has really remade him in His own image. He is now a new experiment of the Creator. He is as much a new experiment as he was when he was really only five years old."
in words of praise.
and daily had his praises sung...

California's Air Resources Board (CARB) released late last week its Draft Scoping Plan, or what it is calling "a market-based roadmap guiding California toward its greenhouse gas emission goals."
The plan will be baked into more final recommendations by November, when it will begin to lay out what legal measures the state will take to reduce carbon emissions in 12 category subgroups, including land use (which includes transportation design).
Local and regional government is being called upon by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and state lawmakers to create more densely developed, better planned communities, meaning towns, cites and developments that have good public transit, walkability and bikeability so people aren't forced to drive everywhere for every need.
Transportation is the highest single category for carbon emissions in California, at 38% in 2004; unlike other categories, transportation is fast growing emissions–at a rate of 25%. In some areas of the state, such as the San Francisco Bay Area, transportation is responsible for about 50% of total carbon emissions. Other local or regional government areas targeted will be energy use, waste recycling and water use.
The state cites forecasts that global climate change can reduce California's GDP by 20 percent or more from droughts, heat waves and severely reduced snowpack, impacting everything from its massive water distribution systems to coastlines, low-lying properties and its large winter sports industry.
We're already seeing in California all-time record heat waves, droughts and crazy numbers of wildfires. How much of all of this can be attributed to global climate change is debatable. After large parts of the state had its worst air quality on record last week from more than 1,000 wildfires that today required intervention from the National Guard, no one can reasonably argue that global climate change won't produce at least the substantial risk of significant health and economic impacts.
The AB 32 scoping plan puts climate change mitigation costs–for everything from low-carbon fuel technologies to building improvement–at between -1 and 1% of its GDP.
In terms of local and regional governments, economic costs will result from "policies to reduce (GHG) transmissions by changing how we grow and build our communities." Look for more actions like those taken by the Attorney Governor's office last year against Southern California's San Bernardino County for not including carbon emission impacts as part of planning and land use under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Also expect regional "blueprint planning networks" to take a major role in determining how carbon can be cut through coordinated scenario modeling, planning, actions and performance indictor metrics. These blueprint networks are already working with the Governor's Office of Planning and Research to make sure general plans and projects are consistent with carbon output scenarios and indicators that will be required under CEQA.
Other parts of the mix may include congestion pricing, as well as other ways to reduce indirect sources that will reduce vehicle trips, such as The US Green Building Council's upcoming LEED–Neighborhood Development standards.
On the revenue-positive side of the ledger, towns, cities and counties should look to receiving "revenue generated as part of the program that could be distributed in a way to substantially mitigate any price increases."
Local and regional governments in California are also already the nation's leading beneficiaries of tax revenues from the rapidly advancing green economy. The growth of green technologies, such as PV solar, and advanced transportation (electric and plug-in hybrid fuel technologies), as well as building products and services (architecture, construction, landscaping, consulting) are some of the hottest growth industries in an otherwise stagnant job market.
All in all, AB 32 seeks a per-person carbon reduction from 14 tons for every state resident down to 10 tons per person by 2020.
So far, regional and local governments in California are expected to make only about 1-4 percent of these reductions; the next few months will shape until 2020 how every town, city or county will be expected to contribute its part in the nation's first major systematic carbon reduction legislation.

The historic breakthrough had been made a little over three years earlier, when the two tunnels driven from each country met 40 metres below the sea bed.
But the idea of a fixed connection had been around since Napoleon, the first leader to support the building of a tunnel.
It sparked fears of invasion in Britain that continued to hold back popular and political support for a link until after World War II.
Politics and technology delayed the project becoming reality for another three decades, and the financial problems continue to this day. But there is no doubting the tunnel's status as an engineering masterpiece.

It's the final countdown....
All of the country (and frankly, world), aspiring graduate students are cranking out their applications, many of which are due in the coming weeks! Many graduate schools have rolling deadlines, which begin in the end of Decemebr. Some deadlines happen later, but starting early is a good thing; the earlier your application is received, the earlier it will be reviewed, and the sooner you'll know about admission!
So, if any of these statements rings true to you, then this post might prove useful to you.
- "I want to start graduate school in the fall of 2014."
- "I'm not sure how to manage all the pieces of my graduate school application."
- "I'm stuck writing my personal statement for graduate school."
- "I want to study X, but I'm not sure which schools to apply to."
- "I'm trying to study for the GRE and prep my applications all at once. Eek!"
- The personal statement asks you to reflect on the why of graduate school: Unless your passion or career path is totally clear-cut, personal statements to grad school often conjure up more existential questions about your future path, and the uncertainties of doing the right thing for your career. It's not easy to sum up your life story in a succinct way that is also compelling!
- The GRE test brings back the anxieties of high school test prep and worse many of us haven't done the kind of math tested since! Most people don't like standardized testing, and most of the content tested has no bearing on your future degree, so it feels rather frustrating to prepare for this merciless exam.
- The graduate school application involves many moving pieces: your undergraduate transcript, a resume, a personal statement, recommendations, (sometimes writing samples and/or GRE subject tests). Getting the application together is a project in of itself that tests your organization skills; this aspect of the process alone can be overwhelming.
You might be asking yourself: Ok, so what's the good news? You're making this sound even worse that I thought it was!
Here's the upside: you can easily stay on top of it all if you compartmentalize the process and plan in advance. Run through these questions in your head to start breaking up the application components to build out your timeline:
What are the most time-consuming aspects of the application?
- The personal statement
- The resume
- GRE Subject test (dependent on the degree)
- Writing Samples (dependent on the degree)
- Applying for financial aid
- Requesting your transcript
- Soliciting letters of recommendation
- The application portal
With your complete list of requirements in front you, you'll have a better sense of the effort required and you can start mapping your process onto specific calendar dates.
For the sake of this exercise, let's say your application deadline is in 6 weeks, on Monday, January 13th:
Remember to do the easy stuff first, and start planning the longer-term projects in advance. Set yourself very clear deadlines and stick to them:
Week 1
- Request your transcripts in paper and PDF form. Done!
- Reach out to your recommenders: Formally request a recommendation and provide a clear timeline/guideline for the recommendation. Set a false deadline that's earlier than the actual thing (December 20th, for example). Here's a post on selecting and requesting your recs: Done!
- Review your resume: Edit your resume to reflect your recent experiences, then share it with a trusted peer or family member to receive their feedback.
- Are you applying for financial aid? If so, figure out the requirements.
- If you haven't already taken the GRE, register for a test date as soon as you feel ready (you can do this up to 1 day before the application deadline). Keep studying!
- Finishing your resume
- The personal statement (and/or writing samples)
- The GRE (and/or GRE subject test)
- The application portal (work history, personal data, etc.)
- Financial Aid application
- Finalize your resume. Done!
- Fill out the easy parts of the application portal (personal data, educational history, income information, etc.). Done!
- Keep studying for the GRE. For more information on prepping for the GRE, check out this series of blog posts: http://blog.cambridgecoaching.com/blog/?Tag=GRE+tutor
- If you require writing samples, look at past writing and start to fine-tune the work.
- The personal statement (and/or writing samples)
- The GRE (and/or GRE subject test)
- Financial Aid application
Week 3
- Keeps studying for the GRE (and/or GRE subject test). You're probably planning to take the test(s) soon. Take a practice test this week to get a sense of where you are scoring.
- Brainstorm your personal statement. Visit our application consulting (http://www.cambridgecoaching.com/application-consulting) page to learn more about how some students get help with this part of the application.
- Complete the financial aid application requirements. Done!
- Make this week all about the GRE. Do nothing on your application but study for the exam.
- Take it easy this week: don't go out too much, get lots of sleep and try to get home from work on the early side.
- Take another practice test, or the real thing!
- Outline and draft your personal statement.
- Work with a consultant or trusted editor; feedback on your writing is crucial!
- Check in with your recommenders if you haven't yet received your letters of rec.
- Take the GRE already! Done!
Week 6
Finalize your personal statement.
Review and tweak all application components. Think about the application as a package, and check for cohesion.
Voila! It's certainly a fair amount of work, but totally manageable if you break it up. You'll thank yourself later if you put in the time to plot out your workflow in advance. If the process still seems unwieldy, or if your timeline is even more abbreviated, many students find it helpful and reassuring to work with an outside consultant on all aspects of the process, or even just the writing. Good luck!

Reliable object detection by an ultrasonic sensor is in large part determined by the correct configuration of the sound beam. The recognition behavior of the sound beam is also referred to as the response curve. This curve shows the distance at which a particular object can be reliably detected.
The response curve depends on the reflective properties of the object. Objects with a large surface area and optimum orientation are more easily recognized than small, round objects, or objects with poor reflective properties. Pepperl+Fuchs knows about the importance of this fact, and adds sound beam diagrams for various objects, e.g. a standard 100 x 100 mm plate or 25 mm rod to its ultrasonic sensors' datasheets. The beam width can be adjusted on many models, focusing the ultrasonic sensor precisely on the target object.
A major reason to use ultrasonic sensors is their ability to recognize most materials and surfaces. Color is of no consequence and they can detect solids, liquids, or powders. Surface properties also have no effect on detection reliability. It does not matter if the surface is rough, smooth, high gloss, transparent, dirty, wet, or dry – a high-quality ultrasonic sensor delivers precise results.
The best reflection can be reached when level, smooth surfaces are positioned at right angles to the sensor surfaces. If the angle to the surface object is not 90°, the returning sound can be deflected away from the transducer, and it will no longer be detectable. Large angle deviations are possible when recording rough or uneven surfaces. The amplitude of the reflected ultrasonic signal must be high enough to allow reliable measurement. Similarly, high levels of dust and humidity reduce the acoustic energy and can reduce the maximum range of the ultrasonic sensor.
The range of ultrasonic signals is also influenced by the relative humidity and temperature of the ambient air. Generally speaking, the sensing range decreases with increasing temperature and increasing humidity. This reduction is not linear and differs from sensor to sensor.
Ultrasonic sensors with adjustable sound beams allow customization of the sensing threshold. The sensing range can be adjusted to suit the object being detected via programming software or a Teach-In function. Pepperl+Fuchs' ultrasonic sensors are programmed using the ULTRA3000, SONPROG, PACTware (IO-LINK), or ULTRA-PROG-IR software.
They enable precise control of the overall acoustic beam width. This means that the beam can be reduced in both length (axial sound beam) and width (lateral sound beam). Lateral and axial sound beam width can also be adjusted independently. This allows disruptive or reflective objects within the sensing range to be suppressed. Reducing the sound beam size allows disruptive objects or attachments on machines or in tanks to be suppressed.

В дополнение к Руководству по ультразвуковой технологии вы также можете скачать новое руководство по определению двойных материалов с помощью ультразвуковых датчиков.

- Be above the line. Apologize without making excuses. Saying "I'm sorry" acknowledges the mistake and demonstrates being accountable. Likewise, if you are on the receiving end of the error, give the person a chance to own up to it without using accountability as a weapon.
- Correct. After you apologize, ask how you can make it right. Come up with ideas on your own and collaborate with peers if necessary. And, on the receiving end, listen and appreciate.
- Learn. There is a vast body of published biographies, auto biographies, business books, articles and knowledge that equate failure and mistakes with prerequisites to success. Bottom line, you've got to Learn to Earn.
I pride myself on my organizational skills and attention to detail. Since my coaching practice depends on both, I've developed spreadsheets, procedures, and extensive files on my shared disk drive which enable me to run my business effectively and efficiently. It's a system that works well, enables leverage, and keeps me in check. So, imagine my chagrin when all too late, I – or rather my wife – discovered a typo in my December newsletter that was missed by both me and my assistant. It's hard to correct without jamming up people's inboxes so the most I could hope for is … laughter! Yes, we have to laugh at these minor transgressions and put them into perspective. In this case, my assistant indicated 2016, not 2017 for a January seminar. She herself laughed and said that she was still writing 2014 on checks. I had little choice but to laugh along with her because this is very likely a universal thing. (By the way, as I finalize this toward the end of December, I note that although many opened the December newsletter, no one called me out about the typo.) All too often, we are quick to point out errors and mistakes – as my wife did about the incorrect year. I think it gives us some satisfaction knowing that we are all flawed. So how do you overcome setbacks like this? Here's a formula:

Psychic reading has become very popular as everyone of us would like to know about our future. The psychic could tell about our past, present and future too efficiently with the help of astrology, tarot cards and palm reading etc. Some of them also believed to use witchcrafts.
What are the benefits you can get out of online methods?
We used to approach the psychic directly face to face for getting the psychic readings. But, today the modern technology has reduced our travel needs and made everything possible from home. But, you also need to check if your online psychic is an authentic person.
Authentic Psychic Reading is Essential
There are more and more psychics are coming out in the market everyday. Every one say he is very powerful on in foretelling your future of you. But, you need to be careful in selecting an authentic psychic. Moreover, you also need to select an authentic website for that. It will benefit you to get your purpose done successfully.
You need to find out authentic people and the websites for your psychic reading guidelines. In the psychic reading your personal information is given out to your psychic. Above all you spend your valuable time and money.
What is astrology?
Astrology is based on the time and place of your birth. It involves about the planetary positions at the time of your birth. For getting correct benefits of astrology, you need your exact time of your birth. Moreover, an expert in astrology is a must to find out right information as there are possibilities to get wrong information if the astrologer is not good on the subject. The planetary movement affects your body and mind. They influence on your mind so deeply. By knowing them, you can guide yourself about the good or bad time in your life.
The Sun and Moon Signs
The sun and moon signs are based on the movements of the sun and moon respectively. The sun sign is based on western astrology whereas moon sign is based on eastern pattern of astrology. These signs can tell you about our fortunes, moods, and your relationship with your parent, wife, lover etc. Sometimes, you could also reveal certain good information about your business.
Biorhythms, Extrasensory Perceptions and Numerology
Our body is functioning in co operation with the bio rhythms of its internal vibrations and the world outside. This function can be compared with the planetary movements, the movement of the sun and moon. The entire universe is involved with this connection.
Some of the people have got extra sensory perceptions. This is something beyond the perception of your sensory organs. Eyes, nose, tongue, skin and ears are the five sensory organs through which all human beings get the information. But, if you find information beyond these sensory inputs out of special intuitive powers, then it is called as extra sensory perception. This will help to know about your future. This kind of knowledge is used by some of the psychics.

Authentic Psychic Reading is Essential to Fulfill Your Psychic Expectations
Psychic reading has become very popular as everyone of us would like to know about our future. The psychic could tell about our past, present and future too efficiently with the help of astrology, tarot cards and palm reading etc. Some of them also believed to use witchcrafts.
Psychic Readings Provide Essential Guidance, No Matter How They Are Delivered
It's perfectly natural to feel that you could use some guidance in your life from time to time. Life can be confusing, and often the most beneficial path is not immediately clear. At times like these, seeking out a psychic reading can ease the decision-making process and help you move forward.
Psychics are not the shadowy, intimidating characters so often depicted in movies. In fact, they are normal people much like you - normal people who happen to have an extraordinary gift for seeing situations clearly. There are different types of psychics, all with different talents and methods, but they all have one thing in common: they are in touch with their innate mental abilities that allow them to see a clear answer to many problems.
Not only do psychics have several different divination methods - astrology, Tarot, and numerology being among the most popular - but they also have many ways to deliver their assistance to those in need of it.
At one time, getting a psychic reading meant visiting a dark tent or back-alley office and paying for the privilege of speaking to a gifted individual. Today, thanks to advanced technology, psychic readings can be performed over the phone or Internet.
Many psychic readings are performed by phone, simply because nearly everyone has access to a phone. It can also be comforting to hear the advice of the psychic in their own voice, so many clients of psychics prefer this method above all others.
The Internet is growing in popularity as a vehicle for the delivery of psychic readings. Live chat sessions are a wonderful way to receive advice, especially for those of us who are more comfortable with chatting online than with speaking on the phone.
If you would like to add an element of personalization to your psychic reading, many psychics now offer live video Internet chats. This method lets you see the person you are speaking with, which can help you feel closer to your psychic advisor.
Psychic readings can even be delivered via e-mail for people who either want a general overview of their current and future situation, or who have a very specific question for a psychic. Often, all that is needed is some basic information about the individual for the psychic to perform a reading and email the required information back to them.
Many psychics offer free psychic readings to their new clients. This is a great way for you to try out a reading and see what a new perspective can do for your life. A free reading is also a way to establish trust in your psychic advisor's abilities and, if you're doubtful, ease your mind that psychic readings are real and can benefit you greatly.
If you aren't convinced that you can benefit from some psychic guidance, why not try a free psychic reading? You have nothing to lose, and you may be surprised at just how accurate and helpful the information can be.
Whether you are worried about relationships, work, or you just want to know what that strange dream was about, a psychic reading is a wonderful way to gain a new understanding of why things are the way they are.
Your psychic advisor may also assist you in making decisions that will move you in the direction of your goals. After that first reading, you may find yourself turning to your psychic advisor any time you need help finding your way through a difficult part of your life.
Fred Gimino owns and operates the Free Psychic Network. His site provides advice and insight in the hopes that people may live happier more satisfying lives.

Astrology Advice
Since ancient times, psychics and astrologers have been using stars in the sky to predict the future, in areas like love, marriage, business, wealth, health and even politics. If a lady wishes to know if the guy is suitable as a life partner, an accurate reading can give her a great peace of mind for the future. Similarly, a young girl yearning for romance may seek astrologers for advices on the guys who are interested in her. So as you can see, astrology is a very important area in ancient societies, hence astrologers or psychics often have esteemed places in the noble families as they can accurately predict the possibilities ahead and the best direction for people concerned.
Some examples of the areas where astrologers can advice:
- How will I get along with my partner?
- Is this girl/guy the right person for me?
- Is this the best business decision?
- Is there future in my career if I stay in this company?
- How will the health of my family members?
- Is this a sensible decision regarding my investment?
Be blessed :)
Some personal thoughts
Moments that complete us
In life we have some poignant moments when something just drifts into our personal awareness and its arrival seems to come in such a right time that it is like the last piece of jigsaw in our lives, and to complete us.
We feel lifted thereafter. And our brain and experience just weld together and makes things look less complex. Everything seems to make sense too. It's like the "joining-the-dots" games we once played when we were young.
Make the choice to succeed and all the steps to your goal shall be inspired. Allow yourself to be alright exactly where you are and in this allowing your path will lay itself out before you. Action will be easy because it is inspired. The most important aspect of co-creation is inspiration. Do what you love to do along your path to abundance and the road will pave itself as you go. Living each day by stating your goal to the universe and then taking inspired action is the recipe for success and prosperity.
So let the simple inner wisdom come forth. Just ask yourself for your own wisdom and let the miracle take place as it will.
Descendants of cosmos
We are descended from the infinite and being so there is nothing that man could create that could ever be too big, or overwhelming as to cause a decline of health and wellness. A single individual with enough focus has the ability to change the weather and influence the cosmos. How much more will our power grow when we see one another on the soul level rather than the level of thoughts and concepts.
When we realize that we all have the same fears and love and dreams at a deep and common level, we will change the world overnight to a place of peace and tranquility.
Maria Duval - Importance of Inner Guide in our life
Psychic Maria Duval believes that all of us human beings originate from the same source, which is the Infinite Intelligence that created us. Unless we humans come together and acknowledge this fact about the Infinite Intelligence, we will never attain true peace in this world and turn it to be a better place. Only if that acknowledgment happens then we can finally be able to see an end to centuries of conflicts and evils that poison humanity, like wars, abuses or racism.
Each of us also has an "Inner Guide" within us and it is better that we come to a realisation that this Inner Guide can help us solve our problems and woes. Maria Duval says this Inner Guide in us is at synchronisation with you and united with you.
There is a need to think about that the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe also stays within us, and through this, we are really an extension of this Higher Intelligence. Hence we are all connected to the Universe! Therefore, we can just connect to everything we want to have in our life since, this great limitless Universe has complete abundance to provide us with a prosperous living.
As a form of imagination, regard this link as an invisible thread that connect us to the dreams we want to draw into in our lives. This is very importance because Maria Duval thinks this is the awareness of the divine power of our Inner Guide.
The reason why Maria Duval stresses so much on this is because this condition is extremely vital to our successes in life. Understanding this concept will no doubt make our problems in life easier to manage and also progress more miraculously.
Maria Duval - Psychic Guide
The moment when you are linked to your Inner Guide with your psychic thought processes, this link will allow it to inspire and protect you. It guides you by sending external or internal signs. Through this process, you know you have intuition.
As Maria Duval has already said, your problems are mainly due to the logic that your intuition has not been fully developed..Gradually by not listening to its tones, you come to lost contact of it.
That's why it is imperative that you re-establish with this psychic intuitive contact with your Inner Guide so that your life and senses can be brought back to harmony. When there is a psychic contact, your Guide will answer you by sending you signs to show you along.
All you have to do is to establish contact with it, ask it what you want, and then let it express itself in you, through you, and bring you the miraculous answers and solutions you are waiting for. Maria Duval says this is the best hing to do when encountered a problem to be solved or for a tough intricate situation to be averted.

Public image is everything these days and countries and its people have a certain global image that they cannot really get rid of if they ever wanted that. We, also, as individuals, have our own image of what a specific country is like, even though we might never have been there. But the image exists. Anastasia Bulgakova, a Russian artist, has tried to encapsulate all this general beliefs about countries into video games characters.
"Every character is going to have some stereotypical attributes that I am going to use in one way or another. All of them will be militant and warrior-like, with dirt and blood. Not because of some political persuasion, but simply because that what I always draw in any case, and the idea of warrior-countries gives a lot of creative freedom",
she says about her new artwork series. Let's see if she got them right. Anyways, they look dope and could make a very exciting video game.
Naive and idealistic, but also vicious. Always set on pursuing her goals, sometimes without scruple. Her weapon of choice is the long rage sniper rifle and she's got Cyber arms and legs. She likes fire and she's a killer in love with victory.
He looks kind and a big Hockey fan. The crown he wears is because he is called "The King of ice". He wants to be friends with USA. He usually fights Russia, but only in hockey.
This here is a very rational and calculating person, but he can also bite like a beast if messed with. His favourite pet is Churchill, a smoking-drinking bulldog. He is a punk who prefers close combat with his fists.
She is slim and tall and wears classical men's clothes. She's a high-crime lord who doesn't like to muddle her hands and clothes in dirty jobs. Her knowledge of poisons is unbeatable.
Not very talkative, he loves gold and power. He's got a golden mask to hide his face and a magical lamp which will fulfill his wishes. His magical dijnni does all the dirty work for him. He's the indisputable Lord of Sands, using his curved saber for executions and commanding his dijnni to do everything for him.
A monarch whose reign is supreme and a vampire nobility who supports him.
She wears a glamorous armour because she thinks she's at war at all times. She likes close and personal combat that takes place in winter, against all the odds.
She is…complicated. She has always suffered a lot and that's why she is very salty and angry with the whole world. She's a good person, though. She likes building, researching and eating. Her family and neighbours, though, bring her the most trouble and make her sensitive and impulsive. She is young, she needs to learn. Her weapon of choice is a big pulse rifle and she's got an army of drones. She likes fighting from afar with her automated army and prefers defensive combat. She also got a cute, but vicious pet: a hedgehog which flies on a drone.
He's mysterious. No one really knows what he wants. He is extremely polite and has a hi-tech armour that improve his abilities and skills. He is fast and agile. His weapons are a spear and a tail that hold the opponents at distance. He also got exploding spheres at his disposal for long range fights.
He loves order and modernity. He wears an Iron Man kind of suit with a lot of German precision engineering in it. He's also stylish and has come to love long range battles that keep the suit clean.

From a cruise-ship deck, New Zealand's scenery is splendid, while port towns offer history, culture and abundant shore-excursion choices, writes Brian Johnston.
I'd be hard-pressed to nominate my favourite New Zealand port, which says a lot about cruising our neighbour's rumpled, irrepressibly scenic coast. Auckland has bulky islands, blue skyscrapers and cloud-scattered skies. Akaroa's bay has milky-blue water and brown hills sculpted by exuberant volcanic eruptions. Sail into Dunedin and you're so close to the landscape you could almost lean over the railings and pluck washing from a garden.
Coastal landscapes are best from the sea, but there are abundant other reasons to cruise New Zealand: Maori cultural life; laidback friendliness; a modern history partly shared – but interestingly divergent – from our own. No surprise, then, that in a survey of Princess Cruises passengers, eight of the top 20 favourite Pacific ports for 2016 were in New Zealand, and Fiordland took out No. 1 spot.
Princess Cruises carries a third of all Australian cruisers to New Zealand, and this summer makes 177 calls to 10 New Zealand ports. More are expected next season, when the company's newest ship Majestic Princess also visits. "Australians love visiting their trans-Tasman neighbour and that shows no signs of waning, with Australians accounting for over half of international cruise arrivals," says Stuart Allison, vice-president Australia & New Zealand for Princess Cruises.
If you've yet to sail to New Zealand, here are just some of its port highlights.
WHAT TO SEE New Zealand's largest, most vibrant city is enlivened by a multicultural population and impressive cafe and restaurant scene. Check out seaside suburb Devonport, Sky Tower and nightlife spots Viaduct Basin and Ponsonby Road. Kids will appreciate Sea Life Aquarium, with its sharks, stingrays and penguins. The city is surrounded by superb water vistas, volcanic landscapes and islands, making for a splendid cruise arrival.
DON'T MISS Seafaring history is showcased at the terrific National Maritime Museum, where experts repair traditional wooden boats. Auckland War Memorial Museum includes displays on volcanoes, native wildlife and Maori culture, while Auckland Art Gallery showcases New Zealand landscape paintings and striking portraits of Maori warriors decorated in intricate tattoos.
SHORE EXCURSIONS Do a highlights tour, or take an excursion focusing on Devonport or various museums. Visit Waiheke Island for winery visits or zip-lining. You can get beyond the city on coastal eco-tours, or explore the famous glow-worm-illuminated Waitomo Caves.
NEED TO KNOW Many NZ itineraries start or finish in Auckland, or cruise round-trip from the city. Among them is a 13-day New Zealand cruise round-trip from Auckland departing November 24, 2018. From 2099 a person; see princess.com
WHAT TO SEE This South Island hillside city makes the most of its Scottish heritage and might remind you in architectural look (and nippy weather) of Edinburgh. Though 13 kilometres from port, the city is easy to get around. The Otago Museum and botanic gardens are well worth visiting, and there's good shopping.
DON'T MISS Dunedin has an impressive ensemble of Victorian-era architecture: pop into the elaborate train station for floor mosaics and stained glass. Olveston House is a 35-room mansion crammed with Edwardian knick-knackery from bronzes to ceramics, and has a forest-full of oak carving. Twenty minutes outside town, 1870s Larnach Castle is a baronial folly, gloriously out of place on the Otago Peninsula.
SHORE EXCURSIONS Visit either Olveston House or Larnach Castle on popular shore excursions. Lovers of train rides and scenery should consider an excursion into Taieri Gorge. The Otago Peninsula provides penguins and albatross, Speight's Brewery a look at beer-making followed by a pub lunch.
NEED TO KNOW Among several itineraries sailing to Dunedin is an eight-day Australia & New Zealand cruise from Auckland to Sydney departing October 14, 2018. From $1399 a person; see princess.com
WHAT TO SEE Rebuilt after a 1930s earthquake, Napier is one of the world's showcases of art deco architecture, and lovely to walk around. Many facades have original signage and art deco motifs, occasionally influenced by local Maori cultural symbols. Some 140 heritage buildings remain, surrounded by pretty rose-filled gardens. The National Aquarium has a rich collection of sea creatures, plus kiwis.
DON'T MISS The architecture is impressive, but outshone by the natural beauty of surrounding Hawke's Bay region, with its balmy Mediterranean-style climate, extravagant beaches, lush orchards, vineyards and teeming birdlife. Views are spectacular from the summit of Te Mata – leap off with a paraglider if you dare. The glacier-gouged gorges of the Mohaka River are a white-water rafting thrill.
SHORE EXCURSIONS A city drive, walk or road-train ride highlights Napier's art deco heritage, or you could focus on Maori history at Hakikino Conservation Reserve. Foodies will enjoy excursions to Hawke's Bay wine country or a chocolate producer. For a natural encounter, head to Cape Kidnappers, renowned for its huge gannet colonies.
NEED TO KNOW Among several itineraries calling at Napier is a nine-day New Zealand cruise from Auckland to Sydney departing November 24, 2018. From $2099 a person; see princess.com
WHAT TO SEE Despite its small size, New Zealand's capital is lively and occasionally avant-garde, with an impressive collection of cultural venues and cafes and watery vistas everywhere – especially from the top of its iconic red cable-car and adjacent botanic gardens. Take in the Beehive (parliament), colonial buildings on plunging streets and Old St Paul's Cathedral with its unusual wooden ceiling.
DON'T MISS World-class Te Papa Museum, right on the waterfront, is New Zealand's best museum and gives you an interactive, high-tech overview of this nation's geology, wildlife and environment, and Maori and European history. Simulators allow you to experience an earthquake, try virtual-reality bungy-jumping and ride on a whale's back. There's also a fun Discovery Centre for children.
SHORE EXCURSIONS Within the city, shore excursions focus on the cable-car train ride and Te Papa Museum, where you could be tempted into a behind-the-scenes tour. Beyond, take a Lord of the Rings tour, visit a wind farm and seal colonies, or quad bike through glorious coastal scenery.
NEED TO KNOW Wellington features on numerous itineraries, including a 12-day New Zealand cruise round-trip from Sydney departing February 5, 2019. From $1999 a person; see princess.com
WHAT TO SEE Charming Akaroa sits on a magnificent bay where cruise ships anchor and is associated with French explorers, hence the French names, pastries and cemetery. But you're spoilt for choice, since this is also the access port (via the impossibly scenic Banks Peninsula) to Christchurch, getting its mojo back after the 2011 earthquake.
DON'T MISS You'd think an 1880 house built for Akaroa's bank manager would be uninteresting, but current eccentric artist-owner Josie Martin has the historic house painted pink and the gardens erupting in giant sculptures and colourful mosaics. You'll be startled and smiling, and kids will love this Alice in Wonderland place, now called the Giant's House.
SHORE EXCURSIONS Penguins, fur seals and dolphins are encountered on a nature cruise on Akaroa's bay. Take to a coach around the Banks Peninsula or a train into the Southern Alps for stunning landscapes. You can also visit sheep farms, Lord of the Rings backdrops or the delights of Christchurch.
NEED TO KNOW Many itineraries call at Akaroa, including a 13-day Australia & New Zealand cruise from Auckland to Melbourne and on to Sydney departing October 23, 2018. From $2098 a person; see princess.com
Tenders bring you ashore here in this northern New Zealand region of shimmering bays, islands and convoluted coastline made for sailing, kayaking and other water sports. It has an interesting Maori and early European history centred around the Treaty of Waitangi museum and Russell, New Zealand's first capital and current game-fishing centre. See northlandnz.com
There isn't a port here, though passengers can transfer ashore for overnight excursions to the Queenstown region. Fiordland is a staple destination, however, for scenic sail-throughs that allow you to enjoy the staggering landscapes of soaring cliffs, waterfalls and the snowy peaks of the Southern Alps from the ship's deck in Milford Sound. See fiordland.org.nz
This popular North Island holiday town sits between chalk cliffs, backed by forested mountains at the confluence of three rivers in another superb collision of beautiful New Zealand landscapes. The area is rich in Maori heritage (nearly half the population is Maori) and also has a reputation for chardonnay and pinot gris wines. See tairawhitigisborne.co.nz
This pretty port, easy to access right from the pier, sits deep inside Queen Charlotte Sound, whose island-studded beauty, symphony of scenery and playful dolphins can be enjoyed on catamaran or kayak excursions. From here, you can also visit the Marlborough wine region and excellent Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre. See visitpicton.co.nz
It isn't this Bay of Plenty city that is the chief attraction, but rather beach and village-style suburb Mount Maunganui, where cruises dock beneath a gorgeous headland ringed by a four-kilometre walking track. Many take a shore excursion to Rotorua, renowned for its Maori culture and bubbling, nose-wrinkling thermal springs and mud pools. See bayofplentynz.com

Researchers in England found combining radiotherapy and the use of an oncolytic virus were more effective against melanoma than either by themselves.
The oncolytic virus RT3D and radiotherapy together killed significantly more cancer cells in mice with the disease than either is individually capable of, researchers at the Institute of Cancer Research report in a new study.
Oncolytic viruses have been used to attack cancer in several studies in recent years, with reovirus type 3 Dearing, or RT3D, specifically shown to be effective against solid cancers and head and neck squamous cell cancer when combined with other drugs.
Melanoma can be a difficult cancer to treat, especially once it has spread, making it important to kill as much of the cancer as possible as quickly as possible. While both radiotherapy and RT3D are effective against it, finding RT3D cells survive radiation allowed the researchers to test the treatments together.
"Once melanoma has started to spread it is hard to treat effectively and often will not respond well to radiotherapy on its own," Kevin Harrington, joint head of the division of radiotherapy and imaging at the Institute of Cancer Research, said in a press release.
For the study, published in the journal Oncotarget, researchers first tested each treatment separately, and then together, on three types of melanoma cell lines.
After determining the combination worked in lab dishes, the researchers tested it in mice with melanoma, finding it shrank tumors more effectively than either treatment on its own and prolonged survival of the rodents.
"Our study found that delivering radiotherapy with an anti-cancer virus created an effective combination treatment with the potential to benefit patients with melanoma," Harrington said.

Today we are living in an age where the clone wars are at prominent. This is not some excerpt from an X-Men movie but about the uber clone apps that are flooding the market. The Uber clone scripts have become some of the highly downloadable apps in the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
In the busy city life w, have become so much engaged in our daily chores that we have almost forgotten how much our life have become dependent on the private cab companies. One of the main reasons behind this is the utter disappointment and failure of the public transport system.
From those hailing from a big cosmopolitan city, must have been knowing how difficult it is to commute to our workspace at a daily basis. There are various reasons for this, one of them is probably the scarcity of private cabs or taxis or luxury sedans. A majority of people in the metropolitan cities belong to an intellectual mode of living, all they need is a safe transport and a peace of mind.
The emergence of Uber as a global giant in the taxi provider solution domain has changed the way this business was seen before. This has inspired many mid-level business owners to start their own business on a full-time basis or as an affiliate partner to global giants.
What made Grepix Infotech come up with their Uber Clone Script?
Let's have an inside look at the company that is determined to bring out the best uber clone app in the market. Grepix infotech is an Indian software company specializing in web design and mobile app development. Founded in 2012 they are a team of highly experienced and dedicated professionals. Their commitment to providing quality software services have been reflected from their clients who have been associated with them for quite a long time. No compromise to quality is the motto of the company.
How is their product different from that of the others?
As a potential business owner, this is probably one of the columns that you should be interested the most. Let's have a look at some of the cool features that make the app from Grepix Infotech one of its kind.
- Full Ownership : The client can purchase the license of the software and can have full ownership of the product along with the source code.
- Global Solution : With multi language, multiple currency and multiple payment gateway support the software helps you to establish a truly global brand.
- Open to Customization : The app is fully open to any kind of customization from design or backend point of view as per the wish of the client.
- Secure Deployment : The app uses Oauth 2.0 authentication system and secured API's to make it as secured as it could be.
- Ultra Lite UI : The user interface is very sleek and makes the app very lightweight.
- Push Notifications and Alerts : Both the passenger and the driver are notified with the help of push notifications and alerts in due course of the trip.
- Promo Codes : The business owner can come up with special promotional events to lure their loyal customers by the help of promo codes.
- SOS Contact : The passenger has the privilege of adding the number of one of his close acquaintances. Just in case of any emergencies the driver can place a call to the SOS number.
- Trip History : Sometimes it becomes very easy to predict the recent trends of customer's booking from his trip history. The app has built-in support for recording the trip history in both the passenger app and the driver app.
- Ratings and Feedback : For every business to flourish it is very essential to know what the customer likes. Hence there is a provision for ratings as well as a column for feedback for the passengers as well as the drivers.
- Vehicle Selection : A passenger can select from a lot of vehicles for the ride as provided by the admin.
Some changes that wouldn't do any harm!
Every great software adapt to the customer needs and demands as the time grows. Although the uber clone script from the Grepix Infotech is loaded with a lot of features there are few functionalities that are found to be missing.
- Surge Pricing : How do you motivate your drivers? At the time of rush hours, it is very difficult for a passenger to book a cab. Even the drivers won't be willing to pick a customer from its place. Surge pricing helps to increase the price a little bit than the regular fare so that the driver would be motivated to pick the customer.
- Call Center Management : How do you help your customers when they don't have any access to the internet to book a ride? With the help of call center management feature, an admin can book a ride for a passenger offline and allocate a cab just with a phone call.

Senate expected to nominate Ken Cuccinelli for Supreme Court
The State Senate is expected to vote today to appoint former Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to a seat on the Virginia Supreme Court.
Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam was among the first to offer a critical public statement on the expected move.
"This is an embarrassment and affront to the people of Virginia and to the judicial process," said Northam, a candidate for the 2017 Democratic Party gubernatorial nomination. "Ken Cuccinelli has spent his career as an activist trying to outlaw abortion and birth control, denying science and climate change, and aggressively denigrating and denying our LGBT community of basic rights.
"We constantly hear about supposed efforts to politicize our courts, and I cannot think of a more cynical and obvious attempt to politicize the judicial process than to nominate Ken Cuccinelli to the Supreme Court of Virginia," Northam said. "And, with just a few days left in Session, making this nomination in the twelfth hour leaves little to no time for the public, the legal community, and other stakeholders to weigh in and discuss this with their legislators."
Virginia Sierra Club director Glen Besa offered similar sentiments.
"Ken Cuccinelli's abuse of his office as Attorney General in harassing an established climate scientist at the University of Virginia disqualifies him for a judgeship on Virginia's Supreme Court," Besa said. "It would be a travesty if Cuccinelli was appointed to the same court that put an end to his harassment of UVA and climate scientist Michael Mann."
UVA Basketball Fans!
Dick Vitale on Team of Destiny: "This is a hoops story you will LOVE! Jerry and Chris capture the sensational and dramatic championship journey by Tony Bennett and his tenacious Cavalier team. UVA was Awesome Baby and so is this book!"
Ralph Sampson on Team of Destiny: "Jerry and Chris have lived and seen it all, even before my time. I highly recommend this book to every basketball fan across the globe. This story translates to all who know defeat and how to overcome it!"

Each My Child's Chart reading includes a complete natal birth chart analysis for your child (or grandchild) and a personalized forecast up to the age of twenty-one. Readings usually run around 1 ½ to 2 hours long, and come with color copies of your child's birth chart.
Out of all the different types of readings I do, the ones I most cherish, are when I get to speak to a parent about what I see in their children's birth charts. The attitudes and activities their children will hold dear. The special talents they possess that can be nurtured and stoked. The bad habits that need to be nipped in the bud. The challenges they will face, and when. The heights they can reach and depths they could plunge, and what can be done to encourage and protect them in this life. And by comparing a parent's chart with their child's chart I can speak to the unique relationship they share and where and when, extra effort should be taken to keep it strong.
There is nothing more sacred than the bond between a parent and their child, and anything I can do to strengthen that bond is something I take very seriously and with extreme gratefulness. I would be honored if you would have me tell you what I see in your child's future.
$295 – 90 to 120 minute reading.

The Government Accountability Office has issued a report finding flaws in the way the FBI handled the 2001 postal anthrax investigation.
From the report's summary page:
What GAO Found
After the 2001 Anthrax attacks, the genetic tests that were conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) four contractors were generally scientifically verified and validated, and met the FBI's criteria. However, GAO found that the FBI lacked a comprehensive approach—or framework—that could have ensured standardization of the testing process. As a result, each of the contractors developed their tests differently, and one contractor did not conduct verification testing, a key step in determining whether a test will meet a user's requirements, such as for sensitivity or accuracy. Also, GAO found that the contractors did not develop the level of statistical confidence for interpreting the testing results for the validation tests they performed. Responses to future incidents could be improved by using a standardized framework for achieving minimum performance standards during verification and validation, and by incorporating statistical analyses when interpreting validation testing results.
GAO identified six characteristics of a statistical framework that can be applied for analyzing scientific evidence. When GAO compared the approach the FBI used to this framework, it found that that the FBI's approach could have been improved in three of six areas. First, the FBI's research did not provide a full understanding of the methods and conditions that give rise to genetic mutations used to differentiate between samples of B. anthracis. Second, the FBI did not institute rigorous controls over the sampling procedures it used to build the repository of B. anthracis samples. Third, the FBI did not include measures of uncertainty to strengthen the interpretation of the scientific evidence. GAO found that since 2001 the FBI has taken some steps to build formal forensic statistical expertise. The FBI's approach to future incidents could benefit from including such expertise early in an investigation.
The lack of an understanding of how bacteria change (mutate) in their natural environment and in a laboratory is a key scientific gap that remains and could affect testing conducted in future incidents. Specifically, the significance of using such mutations as genetic markers for analyzing evidentiary samples to determine their origins is not clear. This gap affects both the development of genetic tests targeting such mutations and statistical analyses of the results of their use on evidentiary samples. The Department of Homeland Security is currently funding some research on genetic changes in bacteria and genome sequencing methods, among others. Such research is a step in the right direction since the FBI is planning to use genome sequencing methods in future investigations. However, because this research may not be complete for several more years, the extent to which it will close this gap is not known.
Why GAO Did This Study
In 2001, the FBI investigated an intentional release of B. anthracis, a bacterium that causes anthrax, which was identified as the Ames strain. Subsequently, FBI contractors developed and validated several genetic tests to analyze B. anthracis samples for the presence of certain genetic mutations. The FBI had previously collected and maintained these samples in a repository.
GAO was asked to review the FBI's genetic test development process and statistical analyses. This report addresses (1) the extent to which these genetic tests were scientifically verified and validated; (2) the characteristics of an adequate statistical approach for analyzing samples, whether the approach used was adequate, and how it could be improved for future efforts; and (3) whether any remaining scientific concerns regarding the validation of genetic tests and statistical approaches need to be addressed for future analyses. GAO reviewed agency and contractor documentation, conducted literature reviews, and conducted statistical analyses of the repository data. GAO's review focused solely on two aspects of the FBI's scientific evidence: the validation of the genetic tests and the statistical approach for the analyses of the results. GAO did not review and is not taking a position on the conclusions the FBI reached when it closed its investigation in 2010.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that the FBI develop a framework for validation and statistical approaches for future investigations. The FBI agreed with our recommendations.

Unfortunately we only have a contract to ship large consignments to MAINLAND UK addresses, if you live in the Highlands or on an offshore Isle please get in touch prior to purchasing as we can arrange for an ad hoc collection with Parcelforce for a fee - see details at the bottom of this section for details.
We aim to have all the bikes we stock pre-built and available for immediate purchase online and for in-store collection, once you have ordered a bike from us one of our fully trained Cytech mechanics will package your bike into one of our custom built boxes.
These extra-large boxes allow us to ship most bikes almost fully assembled but before we do so our mechanics will carry out a PDI (pre-delivery inspection) on the bike to ensure that before it's prepared for shipping everything is set up correctly, e.g. brakes, gear indexing etc.
Upon receiving your bike, you will simply need to take your new bike out of the box, turn and tighten the handlebars and fit one of the pedal (if your bike comes with pedals). In some instances, such as for road bikes, you may also need to attach the handlebars as they're too wide to simply be rotated so they'll be secured to the side of the frame with zip ties.
If you live outside of MAINLAND UK or in any of the postcodes listed below we can most likely still ship a bike to you but please get in touch as the surcharges we're billed by the courier vary from location to location.
Postcodes: AB, FK, HS, IV, KA, KW, PA, PH, ZE, IM, BT and GU, JE.

inspired by: noah webster house
Q and I visited Henry Ford's Greenfield Village yesterday and I found myself hugely inspired by the home of Noah Webster (you know, that guy who wrote the dictionary!). Neither of us have been to the Village since our field trip days in elementary school, so it was fun to explore the whole place again and step inside American history for an afternoon.
This is the house Noah Webster retired in with his family back in the 1820s, and although I'm not sure which furnishings are original to the home, it was still interesting to see all of the different patterns and colors on the walls, floors, and furniture.
The mint green room above was one of the main living areas, and the yellow "brick" wallpaper lined the hallway leading upstairs. A guy next to me kept saying how awful it looked but I kind of liked it. This blue room was at the top of the stairs and I loved that wallpaper pattern.
This geometric rug may have been my favorite thing...
Another bedroom had this pretty green wallpaper and lots of bird + botanical prints, along with a gorgeous canopy bed (is it weird that I thought this looked like something out of Domino?). Also, I loved this huge colorful rug, and a bedroom with gingham curtains.
This last shot is actually from Edison's house but I loved the wallpaper patterns in there too! I have a ridiculous amount of photos, so I'll be sharing another post soon with design inspiration from other parts of the Village.

Such beautiful pictures! With the lighting and the way you photographed everything, I would have to agree - it does look very much like a Domino feature! (Oh, how I miss that magazine...)
Thank you so much for visiting, and for sharing with everyone here! Hope you can visit again soon!

Hi all! I'm super jazzed to be able to share my first DT Member's post with you today! I'm a little behind, as she actually posted Saturday on her blog, but we had made a trip to the Mall of America for a few days and our hotel's wifi did NOT want to cooperate with me at ALL. But, better late than never, so here's a little peek of her project:
Mandie used Laughing Lola for her project - this is one of my favorite kits in the new catalog! So head on over to Mandie's Scrappin' to see the whole project and show her some love.
Tips, tricks, tutorials and more on how to scrapbook, how to stamp, how to make cards, how to use a Cricut, how to use Make The Cut, how to use Lettering Delights SVG and other files, how to alter items, and more.

My daylilies continue to bloom whether it rains or not. I think the names are Second Thoughts, Bonanza, Pardon Me, Pink Damask and Prairie Blue Eyes. I did visit a daylily farm in the Fraser Valley, I think there was 1500 varieties. It was quite impressive.
Grey clouds continue.

Even though I commented yesterday on the boat and the state of the foam mattresses, I forgot to mention the trouble with fitted sheets. I have attacked this problem again.
I have made many fitted sheets in my time and on a regular bed or even tent trailer when all the corners are square it is a relatively simple procedure.
The boat foams are different not a square corner anywhere! The first sheet I made fitted the width of two mattresses side by side. The problem is this. The old covers are a nylon velvet, this has nap, so when you sleep and get out of bed occasionally the sheet creeps up from the foot and by morning it is above your knees. The foams are different widths and are contoured to fit the hull of the boat, bevelled edges at the foot, bevelled along one side the entire length by about 6 or 8 inches, so across the width of the widest foam it goes from 1 inch to 4 inches in thickness.
This time the approach is to make a fitted sheet for each foam, so each foam was up on the cutting table in the sewing room with an old sheet, corners were pinned, sewn, strips of fabric cut off, edges serged and then some elastic was added. Here's hoping, it will all stay together, it isn't very pretty on the back, I have done pretty before and it hasn't worked.
After all that, I used 3 boxes of Tintex Royal blue, and dyed a blue sheet, a pink one and lavender pillowcases. They are still 3 different colours but it is a more co-ordinated look.
It was so hot last night in the house, we did consider going down to the marina and sleeping on the boat.

in boat, knitting, life, sewing
Yesterday, there was a breeze along with the high temperature, but today no breeze. Just 32 degrees in the shade on my deck. I did spend some time sewing this morning, even set up a chair in a shady spot outside but walking to and from it was too hot.
I am working on a new blouse, now that it is half way together, I have to make some modifcations.( it doesn't fit right, I discovered that it needs a zipper and that it has bias tape on the edges of the arm hole.) All this used to be written on the back of the pattern envelope but no longer on some of the patterns. I had already changed the pattern with an exposed facing on the outside of the garment and I don't know if I want to do that with the bias as well.
Knitting progresses each piece from the previous post has gained a few rows at least.
Boating update: After sleeping a week on the old foam mattresses we decided to upgrade with new foam. Then I washed all the covers on the bed and salon cushions, twice through the washer each. I shudder at how dirty they were. Now we are looking at getting new foams for the salon cushions. ($800 bill doesn't include new covers) but we discovered a great deal of mildew and they are now gone. Hubby is also entertaining the idea of a new mainsail, we won't be ordering that until Sept.
The fan is going to be pointing in my direction all evening, while I watch Canada's next top model and then So you think you can dance.
To cope with the heat, a mid afternoon shower, chips for salt, a milkshake and I am reading a fictional account of living in the glaciers in the days of the iceage. I only felt cool for 15 minutes.
More crafts on board

The magazines to keep me dreaming of my next project. Sewing, dolls, altered art, journal for ideas, knitting book, another pattern for the socks and 2 novels. (One fairly good but both trashy for summer reading).
Sweetpea socks,http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer07/PATTsweetpea.html I did the sock on the left while on the boat. I really needed knitting instructions with me, the fresh air had addled my brain, couldn't even remember ssk, and m1 drove me crazy, plus my guage was off. At home I went to my usual size 2mm, much better, I still can't count but I have now completed the 2nd pattern, it is easy, really. Isn't the yarn from Heather pretty. When I was typing in the label, I wrote sweatpea, freudian slip, if my knitting had been correct with no ripping, I'd be done a sock by now.
The baby sweater has grown by a whole 2 rows while we were away.
I have completed the sleeves. I think, they haven't been cast off, just in case. I decided to change the Best Friends sweater, the general shape will be the same but there will be too much weight pulling on the shoulders and neck. I am working on a moss stitch yoke.
