Teaching photography to children in Africa project
Bruce is very much involved in teaching photography to children who would never normally have the opportunity to learn from a professional with his extensive experience.
A percentage of the tuition fees element of what you pay will be donated to Bruce's next trip teaching of under priviledged children photography in Africa.
Fashion portrait and nudes photography lighting and shooting tips and techniques
These private one 2 one fashion, portrait or nudes photography master classes will have a bias to learning and shooting with available light fashion and fine art nudes and how to get the most and best out of it using Bruce's amazing lighting techniques of seeing it first then bouncing it, double bouncing it, reflecting it, diffusing it etc.
The art of good fashion, portrait or nudes photography lighting is first to learn how to see the light and then put your subject into the best parts of the light.
De-constructing both available light and artificial light lighting so you build a better understanding of how fashion lighting techniques, portraiture lighting and fine art nude lighting techniques work.
Light has many textures as well as variations in intensity/density, Bruce will teach you his instinctive lighting techniques used in all of his own fashion, portrait and fine art nude photography images.
Bruce will also teach you his artificial fashion, portrait and nude photography lighting techniques to if and when they are needed.
You will also learn Bruce's rules of composition which he uses in his own commercial fashion photography, portrait photography or his fine art nude images to lead the viewers eye through an image, essential to sell fashion from the image.
It was once said during one of Bruce's talks during a photo expo, "Mr Smith, I notice that you break all of the rules that we have to adhere to but YOU DO IT SO WELL" Bruce's reply to this, "In order to break the rules you must first learn the rules and completely understand them. Bruce will be teaching you how to break the rules well to.
Read a past 1-2-1 fashion portrait and nudes photography workshop students review
I could have bought all the fashion, portraiture and figure photography books on Amazon, and not learned what I did in a few days with Bruce, which he himself learned from decades of successful work in the industry. In September 2015 I joined Bruce in a chateau near Bordeaux, France for a four-day, one-to-one workshop in 'sensual fashion.
We had two models, an excellent hair and make-up artist, and a photogenic, characterful location. By the end, without doubt, the course had left an indelible mark on my stylistic development and competency as a photographer, for which I'm very grateful.
Bruce is obviously an accomplished photographer and renowned authority, but he is also an excellent instructor and personable coach—an invaluable combination. Much of what I learned from him was through his selflessly attentive coaching: unique feedback about how I performed in the situations he'd set up with the models, location and brief.
Irreplaceable and empowering, he broke down technical issues in straightforward language, and could immediately see and explain what I was doing and how it could be improved.
I grew a lot as a photographer over just a few days. By the end, he shadowed me on shots that I set up. I decided to take the course with Bruce to explore a part of photography I was interested in, but found very inaccessible looking at the sector from the outside.
Previously, I had started to professionalize my passion for photography, and eventually produced documentary photo essays that were later published.
As a journalistic style, this focused on observation and visual documentation of a social issue but wanting to develop in a different area of photography, to have beautiful images and to eventually become commercially viable, I looked to begin developing in fashion and figure photography.
However, my previous documentary photography skills were mismatched for fashion and figure. Any photographer can take a pleasing photo of a model, but it requires difficult development to much higher levels if you want to break through in the industry.
To generate and capture the life and story of a shot in fashion, lingerie or figure photography, which makes all the difference between strong but mediocre shots and first rate shots which the industry expects, demands different skills from which most photographers have or think about, which are neither innate nor obvious.
So, I wanted to learn directly from an expert. Bruce Smith was my first choice of expert to learn from.

Review for our Mini Alloy Front Rack
Chris from Biking in Dallas just let us know he reviewed our Mini Front Rack.
Biking in Dallas is a blog that primarily covers cycling in the Dallas, TX area with an extensive list of trail links. They don't review too much new products....actually they seem to review a lot more vintage stuff than new. But we are glad they took the time to share what they think about our little rack. The mini-rack is lightweight, but has a large enough platform to strap on a camping or yoga mat or a Wald basket. Chris was using his to put his camera bag on.
He cited he could not fit fenders on his huge 35c tires, but it is quite possible with 28c's as evidenced here from Franklyn's Bike Garage's photo below. UPDATE 5/2014: This product has been updated with a taller backstop(tombstone) and more eyelets.

SueAnn - It was a great trip! And we stopped for ice cream on the way home, which is generally all it takes for me to have a nice time.
Chris - With WINE? Are you mad? What a waste of wine! My main function in house-staining effort was "go on beer run" and "provide comic relief".

- Heavyweight
Haye to take on Charr
David Haye will mark his return to the ring in almost a year with a fight against Manuel Charr on June 29 at the MEN Arena in Manchester.
The 32-year-old former WBA heavyweight champion defeated Dereck Chisora in July 2012 in his last outing before retiring, but announced in March he would make a comeback in June. At the time of confirming his return an opponent was yet to be named.
However, that opponent will now be 'Diamond Boy' Charr, who called out for Haye to select him for a match, claiming he was "right here waiting" and tipped the winner of the bout to potentially face WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko in the near future.
Managing director of Matchroom Sport Eddie Hearn revealed on Twitter: "It gives me unbelievable pleasure to announce we have agreed a long term promotional deal with @mrdavidhaye [David Haye] @boxingbooth [Haye's manager Adam Booth] and Hayemaker."
Hayemaker Promotions said on their website: "David Haye will go head-to-head with next opponent Manuel Charr at a press conference this Wednesday [May 1], after agreeing a deal to fight the top 10-ranked contender on June 29 in Manchester."
Charr has only been beaten once in his career when a fight against Vitali Klitschko was controversially stopped in the second round due to the Lebanon-born German having a cut above his eyebrow.

ALAMEDA — Terrelle Pryor responded with a look of utter confusion and a disbelieving shake of the head.
Richard Seymour responded by advocating for home schooling.
Coye Francies, speaking as if in a daze, responded by repeating a question at least three times:
How many?
The answer: 20 small children were murdered, and a total of 28 people are dead.
Upon hearing details of the carnage at the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Newtown, Conn., the Raiders locker room on Friday was, like the rest of us, in various states of shock. It was an abject reminder that professional athletes, even the physically tough men of the NFL, are not so different from the rest of us. They see and hear and hurt. They touch and love and feel.
In witnessing their reactions and simultaneously recalling recent tragedies and losses within the NFL family, I couldn't help wondering if maybe we should watch the games in a different light — with a more humane eye.
If perhaps we should consider the individuals involved not only as coaches and players to be cheered and booed and fired but also as actual human beings.
We as fans are not at all accustomed to such personalization. We've gotten comfortable going on sports-talk radio and objectifying, disparaging quarterbacks and power forwards and relief pitchers. We go to websites, into chat rooms, and anonymously spit venom toward the athletes and coaches who do not meet the standards we've set.
A considerable segment of American sports fans routinely overreact, often with an element of cruelty or intolerance. Ask Alex Smith or Carson Palmer. Ask Mike Singletary or Mike Dunleavy. Ask any member of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Even someone as widely respected as Yankees star Derek Jeter can be targeted. A New York tabloid recently published an unflattering photograph of Jeter, accompanied by a headline referring to him as "Derek Eater."
Wouldn't it be a form of cultural evolution if we, as fans, could accept athletes as people first and the games as nothing more significant than, well, games involving people we hardly know?
It's not impolite to root for your geographical tribe. Or root with your heart. Root anyway you like, as long as it's healthy and in perspective, but always understand that the results of the games have no direct impact on your life.
Understand now, if not before, that sport is not life.
One weekend after the Kansas City Chiefs are hit with a murder-suicide involving a handgun, the Dallas Cowboys are clobbered by the vehicular death of a player, allegedly the result of a teammate driving drunk.
Two days after a coward with a trigger-activated killing machine opens fire in a crowded shopping mall, another one walks into a school and fires upon children.
I understand this is not one of those sports columns that focus on the games or the uniforms. These are not typical observations from the "toy department of life."
But the "toy department," as sport has been described, has been interrupted lately by life without the joy of toys. It is in the midst of a reality check.
When I asked Raiders coach Dennis Allen on Friday how he was doing, his initial response as we walked off the practice field was a comment on the challenges of the team. We all know his team is not good, so I rephrased the question to clarify: How are you doing, not as a coach but as a man?
Allen stopped in his tracks and turned to face me. His father, Grady, a former NFL player, died two weeks ago, breaking the physical bond between the two men. When the son of an NFL player takes up the game as a boy and becomes an NFL coach, it makes a powerful statement about paternal influence.
Allen, realizing my intent, paused and said he was doing OK. He said his family was hanging in there, that it was great to have members close to his mother in Texas.
He said it might be next month, after the holidays, before the loss truly sinks in and everyone takes a breath to properly mourn.
I asked him if it helped at this time to have something as time-consuming as football to keep his mind engaged.
"Yeah, it helps," he said. "But the reality is … that's life."
Suddenly, I could see Allen was not at all preoccupied with the criticism he is taking from Raiders fans frustrated with the team's regression. I could sense his utter unconcern with the ridicule related to his youthful appearance and relative inexperience.
In that moment, he was treated not like a coach but like a human being. He clearly appreciated it.
So, too, would his players — and all players, as well as all pro athletes — were we to view them on a more humane level.
And you know what? I suspect we might appreciate them a bit more.

Glayva (Scotch Whisky Liqueur)
Review: Glayva (Scotch Whisky Liqueur) 84.5/100
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted January 19, 2012
Glayva (a Scotch Whisky Liqueur) was created by Edinburgh whisky merchant Ronald Morrison in 1947, and (according to the Glayva website) the recipe has remained unchanged since the day it was first crafted. It is a blend of aged Scotch malt whiskies and a carefully selected range of spices which include Mediterranean tangerines, cinnamon, almonds and honey.
The folks at Authentic Wine and Spirits, recently provided with two 350 ml sample bottles of Glayva to share with my Rum Chums during our tasting events tasting this past fall.
In the Bottle 4/5
The Glayva arrives in a standard 350 ml bottle as shown to the left. The bottle has what looks at first glance like a plastic diffuser under the cap which I was worried about as my experience with plastic diffusers is that they clog easily especially with sweet liqueurs. However I was pleased that this 'diffuser' did not have one of those annoying plastic balls inside of it and it actually serves a different function as a pour spout. The plastic spout keeps the liquid away from the closure threads preventing them from gumming up with sticky liquid as can happen so easily when a little spillage happens.
In the Glass 8.5
I gave my glass a quick tilt and turn and watched as the golden amber liquid imparted thick syrupy legs down the sides of my glass. These legs are a strong indication of sweetness and give me the impression that this liqueur will not be shy about imparting the taste of honey and sugar into its flavour profile.
The aroma from the glass is honeyed. With the candied sweetness, I also sense a firm herbal aroma and citrus accents. I sense a little cinnamon in the breezes as well as a bit of mandarin orange. There is also a firm alcohol updraft which surprised me until I looked at the bottle and realized that this liqueur has been bottled at 35 % alcohol by volume which is higher than most liqueurs I am used to. The overall effect of the Glayva on the nose as quite interesting, and I (and my friends) approached our first taste with anticipation.
In the Mouth 51/60
Glayva has a rather thickish or perhaps I should say syrupy mouth feel with a firm sweet flavour. It is quite delicious, although the sweetness can become cloying. The flavour of scotch whisky provides the foundation for the spirit. Light oak spices and butterscotch are noticed quite easily in the flavour profile. The herbal quality the liqueur possesses is a little more difficult to pin down. At first it reminded me a little of heather and balsam. At my tasting event with the Rum Chums my friends also tossed out descriptors like vanilla, sage, thyme, and cinnamon. I found myself nodding my head in agreement with them, and we all agreed that Glayva possesses an earthy somewhat pungent 'herbal' quality on both the nose and the palate which plays very nicely with the sweet honey and citrus.
In the Throat 12.5/15
The exit is sweet just like the delivery although perhaps the scotch flavours and the oak have a little more expression in the finish than they had upon the palate. The honeyed sweetness allows the flavours to linger upon the palate and a nice sensation of cinnamon seems leave a resting warmth on the palate and in the throat.
The Afterburn 8.5/10
Because of the firm sweetness, I found I preferred to use this liqueur more for mixing than for sipping. I found it worked great as a replacement for Drambuie in a Rusty Nail, and a recipe I found on the Gayva website mixing Glayva with Lemonade was absolutely delicious.
You may read some of my other Liqueur Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
Suggested Recipe
For a nice refreshing drink in the summertime, try mixing Glayva with Lemonade.
Glayva and Lemonade
1 oz Glayva
Juice from 1/2 Lemon
Teaspoon of sugar
Complete with water
Stir well and enjoy
My Scores are out of 100 and you may (loosely) interpret them as follows:
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing spirit. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails.)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

I love Glayva, and your recipe for a summer drink using it, but have not been able to find Glayva in any liquor stores here in Maryland, or anyplace that ships to Maryland. I've been nursing my last dregs. One place told me that it is no longer distributed to this country. Is this true? Any resources you can suggest so that I can replenish my supply would be greatly appreciated.
May 4, 2012 at 7:15 am
Hey, how's it going? Good.
I'm finding your blog more and more useful, so thanks for the wealth of information. I just thought you might like to know that I used your Glayva review in experiments for my own blog post on Glayva, and have recommended my (admittedly few) readers check out your blog.
Thanks again.

Ben Gabriel Sebena, of Menomonee Falls, was booked into Milwaukee County Jail on Wednesday on a preliminary charge of first-degree intentional homicide in the death of his wife, Jennifer Sebena, the Wauwatosa police department said.
It wasn't immediately clear if Ben Sebena had a lawyer. Kent Lovern, an assistant district attorney, said he didn't know if anyone was representing Sebena yet or whether Sebena would be formally charged later Thursday.
Authorities have released few details about Jennifer Sebena's killing, but said the Wauwatosa police officer was patrolling alone on the night she was killed. Officers found her body early Monday after she failed to respond to radio calls. She had been shot several times.
Jennifer Sebena, 30, had worked for the department for two years, and she is the first officer killed on active duty in the 96-year history of the department. Wauwatosa is a city of about 46,000 people just west of Milwaukee.
Her husband, also 30, is a decorated U.S. Marine veteran who served two tours in Iraq before suffering severe arm and leg injuries in a mortar attack in 2005.
Ben Sebena was honorably discharged from the U.S. Marine Corps as a corporal in 2005. Among his 10 medals and commendations were a Purple Heart, a Good Conduct medal and a badge as a rifle expert.
In a 10-minute video filmed for his church group in 2010, he described the mortar attack as well as his blossoming online courtship with Jennifer, whom he knew from high school.
"Our love flourished. We became actually infatuated with each other," he said in the video for Elmbrook Church in nearby Brookfield. His identity in the video was confirmed to The Associated Press by Elmbrook Pastor Scott Arbeiter.
Arbeiter said the church holds an annual men's conference in which organizers feature the stories of certain individuals. Ben Sebena talked about his transformation from a troubled teen to a Marine Corps veteran who rediscovered his faith in God. He eventually went on to counsel other troubled veterans.
Arbeiter, who said the Sebenas hadn't been active in the church for about a year, said the Elmbrook family was grieving along with the victim's family.
"None of this is news anyone wants to hear," he said. "This is tragic on so many different levels."
Jennifer Sebena's funeral is scheduled for Saturday.
Associated Press writer Carrie Antlfinger contributed to this report.

Parents, teachers and neighbors have a right to be outraged about the rancid odor from the Waste Management landfill that made people sick at Cortland Elementary School on Tuesday.
The landfill is less than a mile from the school, and concerns about the air quality are not new. People expressed concerns about the school site when District 428 built and opened it five years ago.
They arose again in 2010, when an air quality test showed hydrogen sulfide in the air outside and inside the school (it was later found to be at safe levels.)
Concerns about air quality have been consistently part of the argument about the wisdom of expanding the landfill by 349 acres to accept more than 1,800 tons of trash daily, six times more than it does now.
Again and again, parents and community members have been assured by experts and studies that the children and staff at the school are safe. The message consistently has been that air quality is within acceptable levels and monitoring devices have been installed to ensure it stays that way.
Those studies and assurances have been an important part of our decision to support the expansion of the landfill in this space.
Even the firefighters who arrived on the scene at Cortland Elementary on Tuesday said they detected no sign of contaminants such as carbon monoxide. But 63 students and teachers from Cortland went to the emergency room at Kishwaukee Hospital after the patients complained of sore throats, nausea and vomiting as a result of the heavy, sour odor that filled their school.
That is simply unacceptable.
Many of people were taken to the hospital no doubt out of an abundance of caution, but nonetheless, they required medical care for low-level exposure to carbon monoxide. Health officials thus far seem unable to pinpoint what the people at the school were exposed to, a question that deserves an answer.
To a teacher who has faith that District 428 will provide a safe work environment, and a parent who entrusts their child to the district's care on a daily basis, this is about as serious as it gets.
Waste Management officials said they are good neighbors, but Tuesday's mass transport to the hospital wasn't the work of a good neighbor. Company officials need to demonstrate to the district and the public that this sort of fiasco can be prevented in the future.
District 428 officials in the past have been criticized for their decision to build a school so close to a landfill site. They have an obligation to take whatever steps are necessary to protect everyone who uses the school from environmental hazards. If they can't do it, then close the building.
The stakes are too high to treat this as a fluke occurrence and move on.

LONG BEACH, Calif. - The UC Santa Barbara men's and women's swim teams successfully defended their conference crowns as they completed action at the 2009 Big West Swimming and Diving Championships on Saturday evening at Belmont Plaza Olympic Pool.
The Gaucho women won their 13th conference title and their fourth consecutive. The men picked up their 28th title and their second straight.
On the final day of the meet, the Gauchos collectively won seven event titles, set four meet records, three conference records and four school records, which included breaking the longest standing UCSB record in the books.
The evening began with the women's 1650 freestyle. Meagan Brown was the Gauchos' top finisher in the event coming in third with a time of 17:05.35, a personal best mark. Astrid Amsallem finished fourth behind her teammate, touching the wall in 17:07.78.
In the men's 1650, Ethan Bradley took fourth with a personal best time of 15:27.65. Brett Chamberlain also earned points, picking up a 10th place finish is a time of 16:11.95.
Katie Ure was UCSB's top finisher in the 200 backstroke, taking third after touching the wall in 2:00.63, a career best time. Teammate Jessica Schwalb finished seventh with a mark of 2:04.54.
Chris Good followed with the first Big West title of the day for UCSB in the men's 200 back. The senior broke his own school record in the event after touching the wall in 1:45.40. Ryan Garcia placed third, finishing in 1:47.35 and Joe Plume took eighth in a time of 1:53.27.
Anne Marie May followed with a win in the 100 freestyle. The junior set a new Big West Championship meet record in the event with a mark of 48.91. Nadia Dwidar finished second in 50.11 and Courtney Bauer was fifth, touching the wall in 50.57. Freshman Sasza Lohrey won the consolation final in a time of 51.77 and Kendal Neely picked up points for the Gauchos after taking 11th with a time of 52.01.
The men's 100 free final was Gaucho-filled with six of the eight qualifiers swimming for UCSB. Kevin Kuhn came out on top, touching the wall in 43.74, just .01 seconds shy of making the NCAA Championships "B" qualifying standard. Bradley Matsumoto (44.09), Kevin Ferguson (44.39), Scott Vogelgesang (44.50), Joe Wood (44.69) and Jeff Sudbury (44.70) took third through seventh place, respectively. Dan Morris rounded out the point scorers in the event as he took 11th overall in a time of 44.75 during the consolation final.
Not to be outdone by the men, it was then the women's turn to shine, and they did when Katy Freeman broke the school, conference and meet record in the 200 breaststroke with a mark of 2:09.12, which is a NCAA Championship "A" qualifying standard. Sara Nicponski took third in 2:11.50, a personal best time by almost three seconds. Carri Cook (2:21.87) took 10th in the event and Laurel Ferguson picked up points for the Gauchos with her 14th place finish, touching the wall in 2:26.79.
In the men's 200 breast, Travis Jepson was the Gauchos' top finisher. He took fifth with a time of 2:02.08. Evan Simoni took 11th, touching the wall in 2:03.86 during the event's consolation final.
In the final women's individual event of the meet, senior Erin Yamamoto captured first place in the 200 butterfly. She finished in 2:00.96. Teammates Kelsey Lewis (2:02.45) and Brittany Borowitz (2:04.33) finished fifth and seventh.
Danny McClary followed with a second place finish in the men's 200 fly. He touched in 1:45.49, which is a NCAA "B" qualifying standard. Jon Kraetsch (1:48.19), Chris Wiggin (1:49.87) and Mitchell Long (1:51.45) took fourth through sixth place in the event's final.
To end the women's action at the meet, the UCSB 400 free relay team of Dwidar, Javanifard, Bauer and May set a new meet, conference and school record (and took the event title) with a time of 3:18.76, beating the record they set earlier this season at the Husky Invitational by a second and a half.
The men's team of Kuhn, Matsumoto, Ferguson and Vogelgesang followed suit winning the 400 free relay by over two seconds. The Gauchos posted a time of 2:54.93, which is a new meet, conference and school record. In fact, that time breaks longest standing school record (26 years). The team of Tim Roche, Richard Schroeder, Middleton and Ken Neff has held the UCSB record in that event with a time of 2:57.88 since 1983. The new record meets the NCAA "B" qualifying standard.
The UCSB women finished the meet with 880 points, 135 ahead of second place UC Davis. The Gaucho men won the meet with 849.5 points; just 17 points ahead of second place UC Davis, which had divers competing.
The Gauchos will be back in action at the NCAA Championships being held at Texas A&M during the weeks of Mar. 19-21 (women) and Mar. 26-28 (men).

The "child in us" is free to explore the limits that we may apply to certain areas of inspection(our universe)? It is only after we understand "the physics" that the "parent in us" asks that we move ahead slowly and try and keep in touch with the physics.
Some well grounded parents with their children saw that to speak about cosmology, it was was "okay" to move beyond "that subject."
So it took a brave soul as a adult like Gabriele Veneziano to "think like the child," "act as the parent" and remain open as the adult?
While one should not think the parent to be the "death of anything" it is no doubt the conclusion to which we have applied our constraints.
While using a "psychological model" here in comparison, if you saw
the "subject of Veneziano's use of the painting by the 1897 painting by Paul Gauguin: D'ou venons? Que sommes-nous? Ou allons-nous, then looking at "model apprehension" would seem to take a brave soul(adult) even amidst their peers?
Cycle of Birth, Life, and Death-Origin, Indentity, and Destiny by Gabriele Veneziano
Was the big bang really the beginning of time? Or did the universe exist before then? Such a question seemed almost blasphemous only a decade ago. Most cosmologists insisted that it simply made no sense - that to contemplate a time before the big bang was like asking for directions to a place north of the North Pole. But developments in theoretical physics, especially the rise of string theory, have changed their perspective. The pre-bang universe has become the latest frontier of cosmology.
The new willingness to consider what might have happened before the bang is the latest swing of an intellectual pendulum that has rocked back and forth for millennia. In one form or another, the issue of the ultimate beginning has engaged philosophers and theologians in nearly every culture. It is entwined with a grand set of concerns, one famously encapsulated in an 1897 painting by Paul Gauguin: D'ou venons-nous? Que sommes-nous? Ou allons-nous? "Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?"

- Premier League
Spurs lose Defoe for up to three games
The Europa League is live on ESPN this season. Click here for details on how to subscribe
Jermain Defoe looks set miss Tottenham's next three games after his latest injury blow, but manager Andre Villas-Boas has insisted the club still have the firepower to end the season on a high.
Defoe has suffered a fresh injury to the leg muscle that kept him out of action throughout February, but Villas-Boas remains confident his lack of striking options will not derail his push for a top-four finish or his Europa League ambitions.
Villas-Boas has hinted that he is ready to play Gareth Bale in a central striking role in Thursday night's Europa League quarter-final clash with Basel at White Hart Lane, with the out-of-form Emmanuel Adebayor the only established striker available to him heading towards the final month of the season.
"Jermain has a muscle injury that will take him out for the next two games definitely and maybe Basel away," Villas-Boas said, meaning he will also miss Sunday's Premier League clash with Everton. "If he can't make Basel away, he should be fit for Manchester City.
"It is a big blow. It is on the same muscle that he had a small tear in last month, but it is on the other side now and obviously it is a big miss because he is a player who represents a lot for us and has shown tremendous quality this season.
"You have seen us play with [Clint] Dempsey and Bale up front and we have had periods in the season when our strikers have been injured and we have coped with it, sometimes successfully, sometimes not so.
"Anyway, there has been enough creation through our strikers. Gareth's inclusion as a striker has helped our ability to score more goals and all of them are very different. Every striker lives off goals and all want to score more, but if this is an area are we need to strengthen is a decision we will take at the end of the season.
"We have found comfort in Gareth as a striker and he is on a tremendous run. It could mean that we don't need to [sign any other strikers].
"Whether he plays up front tomorrow is a decision I still have to make, but obviously his run of form as a striker makes it a big possibility.
"Gareth has evolved in his career in different positions. At the moment he is enjoying playing as a striker and we are getting the best out of him as a striker. The more he plays there the more comfortable he will feel."
Villas-Boas went on to try and play down the lavish praise poured on Bale by Real Madrid ambassador Zinedine Zidane, who hailed the Welshman as the best player in the world on Tuesday and reignited rumours that the Tottenham talisman is destined for a move to the Spanish capital this summer.
"First of all, Zidane is not director of football at Real Madrid, so his comments are just a compliment," Villas-Boas stressed. "He was a great, great player and for him to come with such great words for Gareth is a tremendous compliment.
"Obviously, with the way that Gareth is playing is calling the attention of everybody and it is deserved. It has nothing to do with [Bale's future]. It is good for the player, for what he has achieved."
Midfielder Scott Parker joined his manager in playing down suggestions that Zidane's comments are a prelude to Bale's summer move to Real Madrid, as he believes his team-mate's elevated status on the world stage is justified.
"It's obviously brilliant for Gareth to have someone of that magnitude speaking highly of him, but as a club it is not a worry for us," Parker insisted. "We have a player in Gareth who has done brilliant for us. We just see him as our player, a Tottenham player, and hopefully he can maintain the form he has done."
Villas-Boas confirmed that keeper Hugo Lloris has returned to training after he missed the win at Swansea on Saturday, but Brad Friedel is expected to continue his position as Tottenham's first choice keeper for Europa League games.

Gas/vomiting/poop issues with Natural Balance Potato and Duck?
I started feeding our two dogs, Rusty and Raven, Natural Balance Potato and Duck dry dog food 2.5 weeks ago and both dogs are having problems with this food that they haven't had with others. I originally bought a small bag to make sure they were going to like it. All seemed well after the first week so we bought a larger bag. Oddly enough, the kibbles in the larger bag looked different than the ones in the smaller bag even though it was the exact same food. The kibbles in the first bag were darker squares with a nubby surface and the kibbles in the second bag were lighter and round in shape. I have no idea if that's what made the difference but after the second week things started to go downhill. Both dogs starting losing interest in the food and I'm lucky if I can get them to eat at all now. This is especially unusual for Raven, who has always had a very healthy appetite and will eat practically anything placed before her. To make matters worse, Raven has vomited her food up two nights in a row now and Rusty has had constant bad gas since starting on the food. We've also noticed that their stools have been much larger in size and volume since switching foods. Their stools are relatively firm but they seem to be pooping constantly. We had them on Holistic Blend Lamb and Rice prior to this food and switched because we suspect Raven may have been allergic to something in it (she gets the itchies on certain foods) and Rusty was experiencing a lot of gas with it too (despite being on it for 3 months) though not nearly as much as she has been experiencing with the new food. Their stools were much smaller in size and volume on the Holistic Blend.
Thing is, the Potato and Duck has so few ingredients that it's hard to know what could be causing both the gas and vomiting. Here is the full list:
Potatoes, Duck Meal, Duck, Canola Oil (preserved with natural mixed tocopherols), Potato Fiber, Natural Flavor, Salmon Oil, Flaxseed, Lecithin, Potassium Chloride, Choline Chloride, Inulin, Taurine, Lysine, L-Carnitine, Yucca, Vitamin E Supplement, Iron Proteinate, Zinc Proteinate, Copper Proteinate, Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Potassium Iodide, Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B-1), Manganese Proteinate, Manganous Oxide, Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin A Supplement, Biotin, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Manganese Sulfate, Sodium Selenite, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B-6), Vitamin B-12 Supplement, Riboflavin (Vitamin B-2), Vitamin D Supplement, Folic Acid (Vitamin B).
Of course, we'll be taking Raven to the vet for a check up this week to rule out any other cause for the vomiting but I strongly suspect the food is the culprit given their sudden aversion to it and the gas/poop issues.
If anyone has any thoughts/opinions on what ingredients may be troublesome I would really appreciate it. I'd also appreciate any recs for other high quality dry dog foods suitable for dogs with allergies and sensitive tummies.
Rusty and Raven - my lil' devils.
My first thought is; check the best before date on the big bag of food. Obviously, if it's expired, that could be the cause of all the problems.
My second thought.... I switched my doggie to this when he was having allergy problems. He's allergic to beef (which I found out while feeding him a not-very-good brand of allergy food), but wasn't doing very well on any Lamb & Rice formula (dull coat, runny poops). When he first switched to it, his gas would clear the room. Literally. The dog weighs like 8 lbs, but one little fart, and we'd RUN from the room. Horrible. His poops weren't any better either. He was never much of an eater (I had to invent a game to get him to eat anything at that time--he's better now), so I didn't notice a change there. The gas got better, but never went away, so I thought I'd try him on the NB Venison & Brown Rice. He's been on that for about 8 months now, I think. Coat is good, poops are good (for him), and though he still has some gas, it's not room-clearing nor voluminous as it was on the Duck.
Maybe it's just my dog, or my tolerance level, but no food that I've put him on reduced his stool volume, but this food is the only one that's given him consistently firm poops. Lots of them (2-3 per walk + one more in the evening), but they're not squishy and he's not straining. I'll take lots of poops and a happy dog over just about any combination.
I'm assuming you did a good transition and that's not the problem, but could either of them have gotten into anything that could have made them sick? So I'd agree with your trip to the vet, if you're really concerned.
Be sure to check the expiry on the food, and return it to the store you bought it if it's past it's date.
If your vet doesn't find anything wrong, you might want to try the Venison & Brown Rice, if you like the Natural Balance brand. You could also try feeding them some Green Tripe (http://tripett.com/ the link isn't working for me right now), which really helps with digestion. If you suspect your dogs may have an allergy to either beef or lamb, don't buy that kind of tripe. My dog loves this stuff, but it makes me sick to give it to him.
Ingredients on the Venison & Brown Rice:
Venison, Venison Meal, Brown Rice, Ground Rice, Rice Bran, Peas, Tomato Pomace, Canola Oil, Flaxseed, Natural Flavor, Potassium Chloride, Choline Chloride, Inulin, Taurine, Natural Tocopherols, Vitamin E Supplement, Iron Proteinate, Zinc Proteinate, Copper Proteinate, Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Potassium Iodide, Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B-1), Manganese Proteinate, Manganous Oxide, Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin A Supplement, Biotin, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Manganese Sulfate, Sodium Selenite, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B-6), Vitamin B-12 Supplement, Riboflavin (Vitamin B-2), Vitamin D Supplement, Folic Acid (Vitamin B).
I hope that helped somewhat... please update as you go.
PS: You could also look into the Sweet Potato & Fish Formula and/or try feeding the canned version of Duck & Potato or any other NB food.
The other food that I tried to rule out certain allergies was Nature's Recipe: at the time it was called Allergy formula, now it's called "Healthy Skin" (Venison & Rice). Ingredients: Venison meal, ground rice, oatmeal, pearled barley, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), pea protein, animal digest, potassium chloride, minerals (zinc proteinate, ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, iron proteinate, copper sulfate, copper proteinate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, calcium iodate, sodium selenite), yeast culture, vitamins (vitamin E supplement, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), inositol, niacin supplement, vitamin A supplement, d-calcium pantothenate, thiamine mononitrate, beta-carotene, riboflavin supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, menadione sodium bisulfite complex, vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid, biotin, vitamin B12 supplement), choline chloride, yucca schidigera, rosemary extract.

It could just be the duck. I'm more suspicious of poultry allergies and intolerances because mine has one...
If it's not expired, like dogmelissa suggested, I'd suggest just trying either the fish and sweet potato or the venison one.
Jesse can eat pretty much everything except duck. As soon as she has duck, mommy is getting the carpet shampooer out.
Stupid People Have Stupid Children, Hence All The Ignorance In The World!
Thanks for your replies, Prin and dogmelissa.
Unfortunately, I can't check the date of the food because we no longer have the bag. We dump their food into a big plastic bin and throw the bag away.
My hubby will be picking up new food for them on the way home ( and I'm supposed to let him know what to buy. I've been surfing through the food forum for over an hour and still can't make a decision. Ugh. Rusty has a sensitivity to tuna (it makes her yak) so I'm not sure a fish based diet would be a good choice for her. I could try them on the Natural Balance Venison and Brown Rice but I'm a bit turned off by the brand what with their complete lack of interest in the food and Raven's vomiting.
Rusty and Raven - my lil' devils.
Ooops. I missed your reply before hitting send, jesse's mommy. I sympathize with you about the carpets. Been there done that a few times this week.
It's very helpful to know that Jesse has an intolerance to duck. I thought that duck would be a great choice for sensitive dogs because it's not a common meat but it just doesn't seem to be sitting well with Raven. Obviously, Rusty isn't a fan of it either. To say that they have a serious hate-on for this food would be an understatement. I think the protest signs would have been out had I tried to feed it to them one more day. LOL!
I *may* give the venison a try and see how it goes. I just hate the thought of putting them through more gastrointestinal upset by switching them again and again. Finding the right dog food is so incredibly frustrating.
Rusty and Raven - my lil' devils.
Oh that was the thing with Jesse, she LOVED it, but would throw it up. It took me a few weeks before I associated the two, but ever since I stopped feeding her the duck, she hasn't thrown up. I wish you the best of luck in figuring this out. It really can be frustrating.
Stupid People Have Stupid Children, Hence All The Ignorance In The World!
Thanks, jesse's mommy. I need all the luck I can get right about now.
Prin, if you're still reading, do you consider the tomato pomace in the Natural Balance Venison and Brown Rice (ingredients are in dogmelissa's post above) to be a problematic ingredient? I came across a thread about tomato pomace during my searches and you and a few others didn't think too highly of it. That's my only real concern with at this point.
Rusty and Raven - my lil' devils.
It's not terrible, but it's not wonderful either. I guess kinda neutral. It's a stool hardener, and there's a risk of pesticides being that it's only the skin and pulp (no juice) and there's not much nutrition left in them...
But definitely not something to avoid with a passion.
Oh and if that doesn't work, there's a thread from when I was trying to find a poultry-free food for Boo...
It IS hard.
We had Tyra on DVP Natural Balance duck and potato also. She had the poops the whole time she was on it. We put her on Hill's crappy food for a few months and now we are in the process of SLOWLY switching her over to GO Natural.
You should leave the food in the original bag. Plastic pails should not be used to store dog food. I'll see if I can find the thread.
Also, I think duck is pretty rich and I would never feed it to my dogs.
Here's the thread":
Read post #13 by Ontario Greys.
Thanks for the links to the poultry free foods and food storage, Prin and rainbow. I had no idea that it was unsafe to store dog food in plastic. We just started doing this recently because the big bag was forever unrolling and I found it hard to get my small arms down to the bottom of the bag. I'll have to buy a chip clip or larger plastic bin to store the bag in.
I just wanted to post an update. Raven was still showing very little interest in eating and it dawned on us that she wasn't being her normal bouncy self the past couple of days so we took her for a check up first thing this morning. I wasn't sure if the food was the problem or possibly the beef soup bones we gave her and Rusty a week ago. They took an x-ray of her gut to ensure she didn't have any bone fragments in her digestive system and thankfully it came back clear. She's treating her for gastric irritation for the time being but thinks Raven may have a case of pancreatitis as a result of eating the fatty bone. I'd never fed them real bones before but several people assured me that they were completely safe, great for their teeth and wouldn't splinter if left uncooked. Of course, I can't but wonder if the food may be the culprit. I know that duck is high in fat also so I suppose it's entirely possible. Raven has to take a prescription antacid (famotidine), something to coat the stomach (Sulcrate) and eat nothing but soft food (Medi-Cal gastric canned food) for the next few days. If she doesn't improve by then she'll have to go back for further testing and treatment. Hopefully that won't be necessary.

Good luck! I hope everything turns out ok. I tried the DVP fish one as a supplement for my doggies (don't trust the evo 100%), and they love all food, but weren't crazy about the DVP...
Thanks, Prin.
I've got to say that I'm not too impressed with the DVP. Rusty and Raven weren't all that crazy about it to begin with and then they lost interest in it completely. They even turned their noses up at the Venison and Brown Rice I fed them the night before Raven was put on the Medi-Cal Gastro canned prescribed by the vet. It certainly doesn't have the best ingredients but she seems to be feeling much better today most likely due to the low fat content. I've been feeding it to Rusty too until I can find a better dry dog food. I'm considering putting them back on Holistic Blend Lamb and Rice. I feel so guilty for taking them off it to begin with now. It did give Rusty some gas but they both loved it, had perfect stools (if there's such a thing ) and most importantly, Raven was as healthy as can be before I took her off it.
Interestingly enough, I did a search for canine pancreatitis on Google last night and came across a page by a woman whose dog developed pancreatitis and I shuddered when she said her dog ate DVP Potato and Duck and rarely anything else. I know it's probably just a coincidence but it really makes me wonder if the duck meat is just too rich for some dogs, putting them at risk for pancreatitis.
Rusty and Raven - my lil' devils.
If one doggy is allergic to the Holistic blend though, you might end up with trouble again... It's all trial and error basically...
Good luck!
It's been a while, so I'm hoping you have some update about your poochie problems.... (and hopefully you had a good Christmas somewhere in there).
Who was it that posted about switching their dogs to Go Natural? I considered this stuff awhile back but haven't built up the courage to try it, since my doggie seems to be doing ok on his DVP food. But I really liked the ingredient listing on it (see below), and it has an added bonus of being made in Canada. Maybe you should give it a try, for both your pups?

Please note that Petcurean has removed menadione from it's foods, see thread: http://www.pets.ca/forum/showthread....ight=petcurean
Also, as for "high fat" foods, please be aware that all foods which are commercially available must meet AAFCO standards. These standards say that the maximum fat level cannot exceed 1.5% of the minimum; so for the Chicken formula, max fat would be 15.5% and for the Salmon, 13.5%. I don't have a dog who's had pancreatitis, but I'm guessing that these numbers might be too high for them. You could look at the Petcurean Summit Three Meat Protein formula, which has only 9% minimum fat, if fat is a concern, however, it does contain corn and other not-necessarily-great ingredients.
I don't know if that helped.... but please keep us updated!

Dogmelissa- don't get too sucked in by the "made in canada" stuff. A lot of the time, the food is actually made in the states, but the HQ is here...
Petcurean definitely manufactures their food in Abbotsford, B.C. I'm pretty sure Champion Pet Foods are manufactured in Alberta.
Yeah, but Merrick used to make their food, remember? And then it got all contaminated and they stopped...
Merrick didn't make all their food. It was only contracted out for food sold in the United States. The food sold in Canada was always made in Abbotsford, B.C. After the screw-up Merrick made Petcurean started making all the food in Abbotsford.
Ahh, cool. Thanks Rainbow.
Still waiting for an update from Celtic Fox.....
everything is going ok....
Also wanted to add that it is ILLEGAL for any product to be labelled with false or misleading information. If it says "Made In Canada", it *is*, otherwise they are breaking the law. Not that all businesses do everything "by the book", but I try to have faith that the laws protect us most of the time.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (UWECBlugolds.com) - While the UW-Eau Claire football team led late in the fourth, a UW-River Falls touchdown with 21 seconds remaining lifted the Falcons past the Blugolds 45-42 in the season finale for both teams at Carson Park today.
On River Falls' final drive, the Blugolds made a couple costly mistakes that ultimately cost them the game. With the Falcons threatening on the Blugolds' 18-yardline with less than two minutes to go, a sack by Andy Neumann (Jr.-Germantown, Wis.) pushed the Falcons back to the 32-yardline and set up a fourth-and-18.
After a Falcon timeout, quarterback Ryan Luessenheide scampered 19 yards to a first down on the Eau Claire 13. Two plays later Neumann picked up another sack and pushed the Falcons to a third-and-26 on the 29-yardline. On the very next play, Chris Olson (Jr.-Stratford, Wis.) picked off a Luessenheide pass but a pass interference penalty nullified the play and gave the ball to the Falcons on the Blugolds' 19. Four plays later the Falcons found the end zone to give them the lead back. Eau Claire ran five more plays but time expired.
The Blugolds opened the game with a touchdown in the first quarter as Joel Sweeney (Fr.-Tomah, Wis.) ran it in from one yard away. Seven points was all either team put up in the first quarter but it was a shootout after that.
River Falls scored 24 in the second quarter while the Blugolds had 14. David Goodman (Jr.-Neenah, Wis.), who led the Blugolds with 158 receiving yards, scored Eau Claire's second touchdown on an 87-yard pass from Austin Neu (So.-Iron Ridge, Wis./Hustisford). The reception tied for the seventh longest in school history. Matt Olson (Jr.-Stratford, Wis./Stratford/Winona State) was the other Blugold to score in the second, recording a seven-yard touchdown run. He also had the Blugolds' final touchdown of the game, with a run from six yards.
Austin Goetsch (So.-Waunakee, Wis.) also caught two touchdown passes from Neu, one from 30 yards in the third quarter and the other from 14 yards out in the fourth.
Neu finished with 321 yards of passing (17-for-32) while Sweeney led the way rushing with 102 yards. The Blugolds accumulated 521 yards of total offense, the most since last year's season finale at UW-River Falls. River Falls had 538 yards of offense, its largest total since September 26, 2009 in a 40-27 win over Alma College (Mich.).
The Blugold defense finished with three sacks, two from Neumann and one from Brad Nierenhausen (Sr.-Cottage Grove, Minn./Park). Neumann led the game with 12 tackles (11 solos, one assist). Eau Claire also forced four fumbles but recovered only one of them.
River Falls ends the season with a 1-9 overall mark and a 1-6 conference record in head coach John O'Grady's final game. Today's win was their first since an October 31, 2009 overtime win over UW-Platteville. The Blugolds finished the year with a record of 4-6 overall and 2-5 in conference play. The combined score of 87 points ties for the ninth most on the Blugolds' all-time list.

CBFCCAAT-Binding transcription Factor
|SMART accession number:
|Interpro abstract (IPR001289):
|The CCAAT-binding factor (CBFB/NF-YA) is a mammalian transcription factor that binds to a CCAAT motif in the promoters of a wide variety of genes, including type I collagen and albumin [(PUBMED:2266139)]. The factor is a heteromeric complex of A and B subunits, both of which are required for DNA-binding [(PUBMED:1549471)]. The subunits can interact in the absence of DNA-binding, conserved regions in each being important in mediating this interaction.
The B subunit contains a region of similarity with the yeast protein HAP2 [(PUBMED:2000400)]. For the B subunit it has been suggested that the N-terminal portion of the conserved region is involved in subunit interaction and the C-terminal region involved in DNA-binding [(PUBMED:1569083)].

Well, I want 'em. Now that I've got a digital cable box with a DVR, I'm into TV like never before, and it's getting tough to keep up, even with fast-forwarding through commercials. If there's any way to get up to date on Threshold during my daily commute, sign me up.The new iPod promises to do just that. While portable video players are common these days, Apple's seamlessly integrates with the iTunes online service, which offers a few ad-free TV shows for easy download along with thousands of music videos and vidcasts. Plus it has the bytes to store them - 30- and 60-gig versions are available. All that capacity comes in handy when a single episode of Night Stalker takes up 200 MB.
It's no surprise the new iPod keeps the same successful design, size (although the new model is a bit thinner than previous generations), and interface - the often-imitated but never-equaled Click Wheel. It comes in either traditional white or nouveau black, just like the iPod nano.
Black or white, the iPod is still just as effective at doing what the iPod does best: making you look cool. In fact, watching video on your iPod in public is probably the best nyah-nyah you can give a less up-to-date techno-hipster. As a video 'Podder, you ascend to a higher caste in the social hierarchy of portable electronics, a step up from mere passive music listeners, and certainly well above the annoying brats jabbing away at their PSPs.
VIDEO CHOPS But what exactly are you looking at? The iPod's 2.5-inch (diagonal) screen is about the same size as the viewfinder on most camcorders - passable in a pinch, but hardly the best way to watch a thrillfest like Lost. For what it is, though, it's not bad. Images are sharp and bright, with no motion blurs or screen-door effect (faint lines between pixels seen on some LCD screens). As with most LCDs, blacks could be blacker, and some detail is lost in shadow, but overall I was very impressed with just how much detail was clearly visible on such a small screen. In the first few seconds of the Season 2 premiere of Lost, in a closeup on the eye of the mysterious occupant of "the hatch," I could discern individual Venetian blinds reflected in his iris.

Roof Moss And Lichen Cleaning
Moss and lichen develop root systems into roofing shingles. This is how moss stays on the roof regardless of wind and heavy rain. As the root spreads it slowly tears the shingle apart. Forcibly removing moss and lichen can leave permanent scars on the roofing shingle. Never let anyone attempt to remove moss and lichen with a stiff brush or a pressure washer. Our non-pressure process allows the dead moss to die, dry out and decompose. As it dries the root system becomes brittle and will detach on its own. This allows minimal granular loss to the shingle. It can take a few weeks for the dead moss to wash away with rains.
Roof moss and lichen has become a real nuisance to homeowners in New Jersey. Many home owner insurance carriers will cancel policies for houses or buildings with roof moss. The roof is most likely the most expensive part of any building. Overall a roofing shingle requires minimal maintenance. Keeping a roof free of moss, mold and lichen can extend the life of a roof for 5 years or more.

Budget Choices in Life and in Family History
And then there's the food budget -- I have been dreaming of lobster recently but that's not a part of the grocery budget right now.
It's the same way in our family history research and education. I would like to order a whole bunch of birth and death records for members of the extended ancestral family. A genealogy cruise would be so nice. So would attending an institute that I am not teaching at. And then there are all the neat conferences. My bucket list includes onsite research in Canada, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, and a long list of U.S. states. Choices have to be made.
Think about that last paragraph as far as your own family history. We aren't the only one who can't attend everything. When we do attend, we might be sharing a room with 1-3 roommates to cut costs. We bring along
granola bars for some meals.
For our own continuing education we can't forget programs put on at our home area historical and genealogical societies and even at public libraries. We can take part in online webinars and discussions. Yet, there's still something that draws our hearts and minds to the bigger events like institutes, conferences, and to places like Washington DC, Fort Wayne, and Salt Lake City for research. It's the camaraderie in those settings that draw me as well as the education.
Just like a family saves for a vacation, that new TV, or to replace the ten year old vehicle, we need to have our genealogy savings fund. Maybe it's a few less lunches or dinners out each month, or telling relatives that we don't need another sweater, tie, or scarf but would appreciate a gift towards that conference, institute,or library visit. I have a jar into which I put all my loose change and then take that to the bank before trips.
If you still have young children at home, maybe someone could give you a gift of taking care of them for a few days. I know many genealogists who care for elderly parents. Some respite care would be nice even if it's only for some local area research time.Can't get away this year or next? Education will still be there the year after that. When you can finally go to the event in 2012 or 2013 there will be others who can't go in those years.
Choices are not easy. Family history is not easy. But we need to work to make choices and preparation that help our family history knowledge and progress. Off my Thursday afternoon soapbox!

Well considered post.
As part of those choices we know we can't do everything we would like but we do have some alternatives (as well as all those you have suggested). We are part of a fantastic online community who are eager to help each other.
Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness is just one of the activities in which we can n become involved.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the money issues. The free online webinars and other learning opportunities can help to ease the realities of not being able to attend all events away from home. Then you may be able to get a copy of syllabus material or recordings for the events. I love your saving jar idea. My daughter bought me a retirement jar and I should put that to work.

I couldn't have said it better myself!
This can be especially hard during conference times, when you find yourself reading blogs and Twitter posts from those attending, and getting those emails (like I did just last night) saying "Wish you were here!"
Fantastic post!

Diamond pitches Twins past AngelsMay 9, 2012 - 3:39 AM Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - In his first start of the season, and just his eighth overall in the big leagues, Scott Diamond tossed seven scoreless innings of four-hit ball and the Twins blanked the Angels, 5-0, in the middle test of a three-game series on Tuesday.
Diamond (1-0) fanned six and walked just one batter in the longest outing of his career to earn his second major league victory.
Ryan Doumit belted a two-run homer, while Josh Willingham and Brian Dozier each added two hits, an RBI and a run scored for the Twins, who had lost eight of their previous nine at home.
Dan Haren (1-3) didn't make it out of the fourth, yielding five runs on eight hits and two walks over 3 2/3 innings as the Angels offense mustered just four hits to snap their three-game win streak.
"We tried to work counts and he got ahead of us," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia about Diamond's outing. "When we got into hitting counts, he used off-speed pitches to get back in. He pitched a good game."
The Twins put three runs on the board in their first at-bat when Dozier dropped in a one-out single, moved to second on a groundout and scored on a double from Willingham to make it a 1-0 contest.
Doumit quickly extended the lead to 3-0, lifting Haren's fourth offering over the wall in right field for his fourth of the season.
Minnesota opened the fourth with consecutive singles before both runners moved up on a bunt from Jamey Carroll. Erik Komatsu then plated a run with a sacrifice fly before Dozier made it a 5-0 contest with a soft line drive into right field to signal the end of Haren's day.
"We got some runs early and Diamond took us from there," remarked Twins manager Ron Gardenhire. "That's the way you draw it up. He was in command of the strike zone and more than anything else he located his fastball."
Diamond shut the Halos down from there, retiring 11 straight batters after a Mark Trumbo double in the fourth before being lifted in favor of Jared Burton to start the eighth.
