(Kevin) The Hall of Fame was great! The kids were in heaven there and we could have stayed a couple days. Tom went a little crazy with the photographs. Thank goodness we don't have to buy and develop film. We spent a ton of money on souvenirs. We hit the road mid afternoon for our final leg of the trip - driving home. We got a few hours of driving behind us and found a campground in western Mass. The final long drive tomorrow.

Pregnancy and anxiety disorder
Is it possible to go through a pregnancy with an anxiety disorder and without any medication? Ive had almost a whole year free of panic attacks and we have been discussing the issue of having another baby but Im afraid a new pregnancy would just trigger the anxiety attacks and depression again. Does anyone have an experience with this?
9th April 2012 10:17 AM #2
Hi Mumwith5yo,
It's wonderful to hear that you've gone through an entire year free of panic attacks. But as you suspect, pregnancy means that the baby will take a lot of nutrients from you. If some nutrients are on the low side (nutrients needed to help you avoid panic attacks) you could experience them again, as well as depression.
So what I'd suggest is that you start your preconception care right now. I'd also encourage you to find a nutritionist or midwife, naturopathic physician or Chiropractor who can give you suggestions on which supplements you should take and how much you should take of each.
One supplement I've personally found very helpful is Inositol. This is a B vitamin that helps stabilize and increase mood. You can take quite a lot of it. My nutritionist started me on 3 grams per day, and I increased this every 5 days until I was taking 12 grams per day. This is for mood, increasing serotonin levels when needed and also helps with the breakdown of fats and reducing cholesterol. You'll want to reduce the dose when you notice you're feeling better. I take this every day now, according to the label.
You may also want to take an all around high quality prenatal vitamin. The higher the quality the more bioavailability (the more your body will be able to utilize it and the less will be excreted through the urine). A low quality supplement will mostly be excreted from the body without being used, which means you're literally throwing money down the toilet.
Let me know if you'd like a resource for finding a Naturopathic Doctor online who can answer your questions and prescribe the right nutrients in the right amounts. You'll be able to take nutrients during your pregnancy and while breastfeeding, whereas you wouldn't want to take medications during that time.
Hope this helps.
Warm regards,

Hi Kate,
Thank you for the advice and the information.
I think I'm on the right path here. I've already started taking vit B complex a few months ago for a different reason and then noticed I'm in a lot better mood and not nearly as nervous, so I've read about its connection with anxiety and depression conditions and it turned out it has lot more to do with it than I expected. I will check with my doctor about Inositol and could try that as well. Hopefully it would work for me as good as it did for you.
To be honest I've never thought about how nutrients and their right balance could affect your mood and help control anxiety levels. I would be grateful for any resources where I could read more about this and get some specific questions answered. Always thought of this as mental condition you could only control with either therapy or medication. The only way I found so far other than that is keeping myself as busy as possible and not have a minute free to rest or think about things that trigger bad thoughts, which of course is absolutely exhausting most of the time and wouldn't work if pregnant. Also, I can feel a panic attack coming most of the time as I kinda recognize the way my thoughts are going in that direction and if I manage to think about something else very quickly or distract myself in any other way, I could actually avoid it…. Unfortunately this only works throughout the day :/ I'm afraid my thoughts will jump on the wrong track with a new baby inside and I would totally lose it.. or maybe I just worry too much. Hm.

I have a wonderful Naturopathic Physician who answers my health questions online. She's Board Licensed, a mother with 3 young children, and she specializes in women's health. Her fees are very affordable and she can tell you exactly what you need to take and in what dosages.
Her name is Dr. Tara Barker and you can learn more about her services here:
When my daughter was dealing with Adrenal Fatigue and losing her hair, I consulted with Tara and she gave wonderful suggestions for foods my daughter should be eating (and avoiding) and supplements she should be taking (including dosages).
If you are already taking a psychological medication then taking Inositol could increase seratonin levels too much, but if you're not taking other medication, it should be just fine, as it is a natural "B" vitamin.
Vitamin B12 can also be helpful. You want to be taking therapeutic dosages (not just according to the label) so that you're sure to get enough into your system as quickly as is practical. This is why working with a Naturopathic Doctor can be so helpful. She can tell you exactly how much to take.
Here's a good page that discusses why Inositol works so well on panic and anxiety disorders.
Please post back any questions you may have.

Scientists use tiniest human protein to heal heart
Singapore: Scientists at A*Star's Institute of Medical Biology (IMB) and Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology (IMCB) have identified a gene encoding a hormone that could potentially be used as a therapeutic molecule to treat heart diseases. The hormone, which they have chosen to name Elabela, is the only 32 amino-acids long, making it amongst the tiniest proteins made by the human body.
The team led by Dr Bruno Reversade carried out experiments to determine Elabela's function, since its existence was hitherto unsuspected. Using zebrafish designed to specifically lack this hormone, they uncovered that Elabela is indispensable for heart formation. Zebrafish embryos without this gene had rudimentary or no heart at all.
Deficiencies in hormones are the cause of many diseases, such as the loss of insulin or insulin resistance, that results in diabetes, and irregularities in appetite and satiety hormones that can cause obesity. Hormones are known to control functions such as sleep, appetite and fertility. However, this is the first time that scientists have revealed the existence of a conserved hormone playing such an early role during embryogenesis, effectively orchestrating the development of an entire organ.
The team also found that Elabela uses a receptor previously believed to be specific to Apelin, a blood-pressure controlling hormone. This receptor called APJ or Apelin Receptor has dual functions, it first conveys signals from Elabela and then from Apelin. Mutations in the Apelin Receptor also prevent the heart from forming. Zebrafish bereft of the Apelin Receptor are referred to as the Grinch, in reference to the cold and heartless cartoon character created by Dr Seuss in 1957.
Elabela has also been found to be expressed in human embryonic stem cells, indicating that it might have other functions beyond its role in cardiovascular development.

Concert to feature music by Edward T. Cone
Posted November 26, 2008; 10:32 a.m.
A free concert of music by Edward T. Cone, long associated with Princeton University and its music department, is set for 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5, in Fine Hall's Taplin Auditorium.
"Cryptic Brilliance" will cover 55 years of Cone's work. The first half of the concert will include "Two Women," written in 1987, a short song cycle for soprano and piano on texts by Christina Rossetti and Emily Brontë; the "Second String Quartet" from 1949; and "Sphinxes: 25 Aphorisms for Piano," written in 1974.
The second half will draw from Cone's late work and will include the first performance of his last choral work, "Songs of Innocence and Experience," on texts by William Blake; the first performance of the final revision of the "Sonata for Violoncello Solo"; and Cone's last work "Three Songs From Pippa Passes," a song cycle for soprano and piano on texts by Robert Browning.
Performers will include singers Martha Elliot and Mimmi Fulmer, pianist Margaret Kampmeier, violinists Sunghae Anna Lim and Lisa Shihoten, violist Burchard Tang, cellist Thomas Kraines and the Princeton University Chamber Choir conducted by Richard Tang Yuk. Jeffrey Farrington, New England Conservatory and Princeton University alumnus, has coordinated the project.
Cone was a member of the University's class of 1939 and one of the Princeton's first three recipients of a master of fine arts degree in music. He joined the Princeton faculty in 1946, teaching music theory, history and composition. With the exception of two years of graduate work at Columbia University, service in World War II and visiting professorships, he spent his entire professional life at Princeton. He died in 2004 and age 87.

Anyone tried the CONTACT POINT SCG-401K from Dogtra? My dog is still getting sores on her neck and she really doesn't get that many corrections. It seems to happen when we are hunting and she is wet. I thought I would give this a try if there was any positive feedback.
Also, folks who have had this problem, do other manufacturer's collars give you similar issues?

By The Associated Press
JACKSON — The state Court of Appeals on Tuesday rejected the post-conviction claims of an Alcorn County man who was sentenced in 2005 to 160 years in prison for burglary of a dwelling with the intent to commit robbery, rape and sexual battery.
Larry R. Wilbanks pleaded guilty to the charges in Alcorn County Circuit Court.
Authorities say the charges against Wilbanks were enhanced because of the age of the victim, who was 65 when Wilbanks broke into her home.
Wilbanks waived his right to a jury hearing to determine his sentence and a judge handed down the prison terms.
He later claimed he didn't voluntarily enter the plea, his confession to authorities was coerced and his lawyer should have done a better job.

1Morgan recently added a post asking if tom's didn't gobble would you still hunt them. I saw this same question on last weeks episode of Turkey Thugz on the outdoor channel and on the very same episode they asked some of the hunters, "How important is roosting a turkey". Just as with every other situation, you always get mixed opinions. Some hunters believe it's a necessity and some hunters actually prefer to not roost turkeys. I, personally, like to at least have an idea of where the birds are sleeping the night before I go out in full pursuit. I feel that it gives me better odds and gives me the chance to determine where and how I want to set up on a specific bird(s), and when it comes to any type of hunting, I need every advantage I can get. Most of the birds on my property use similar roosting sites year round, but I'm not a big fan of surprises so I still like to always check and make sure I know where they'll be come sunup. I have a perfect spot on my property in a fence row that I can go and see/hear birds from any direction on my property, and it's out of the way of the birds so I don't risk spooking them. I just like to go out the night before and listen to see if I can see any birds fly up or hear them gobble as they go up to roost. I bought a coyote howler a few weeks ago to do a little coyote hunting and I plan my try my luck with it as a locator call to try and roost a bird with.
My question to you guys is, how important is roosting to you? Do you have any special methods, calls, or techniques that you use that you've had better success with?

Biotech firm Amgen (AMGN) reported first-quarter adjusted profit of $1.96 a share on revenue of $4.24 billion. Analysts had expected, on average, profit of $1.84 a share on revenue of $4.37 billion, according to FactSet. That revenue miss — despite a 5% year-over-year increase — may be why the stock is down 5% in postmarket trading following the results.

I really enjoyed reading Mark Strand's "Starin' Down the Rattle" article in the April 2010 issue of T&TH. Reading the article made my mind race to times when I'd had similar extremely close encounters with Spring gobblers. There truly is no other feeling in hunting like trying to take a wary gobbler who is coming to your calls while looking for the source with his sharp eyes while you are trying to keep your cool and remain motionless. The description of a gobbler drumming up close is right on the money. Just knowing he's so close, yet so far away is a delightfully maddening experience. One false move by the hunter and it is game over for you. One false move by the turkey and it can be game over for him. He may just drift off all together when he sees no hen.
I tagged a gobbler in '07 (my biggest to date and my most memorable hunt ever) that got to within 4 feet of me before he crossed far enough in front for me to get a shot. As I was reading the article, those sounds & sensations of that morning came rushing back to my memory like it happened yesterday. Good job, Mark. Nicely done. I appreciate it.

Qualcomm (QCOM) this afternoon reported fiscal Q2 revenue slightly ahead of what analysts were modeling, and EPS in line, offered a lighter-than-expected EPS view for this quarter, and raised its year revenue outlook.
Revenue in the three months ended in March rose 24%, year over year, to $6.12 billion, yielding EPS of $1.17, excluding some costs.
Analysts had been modeling $6.08 billion and $1.17.
For the current quarter, Qualcomm sees revenue in a range of $5.8 billion to $6.3 billion, and EPS of 97 cents to $1.05, which is above consensus for revenue of $5.87 billion, but below the average $1.04 EPS view.
For the full year, Qualcomm sees revenue of $24 billion to $25 billion, higher than its prior $23.4 billion to $24.4 billion outlook, and above the $24.1 billion the Street has been modeling.
For the full year, Qualcomm raised its expectation of 3G and 4G devices to be sold by industry this this year to a range of 928 million to 945 million from a prior range of 915 million to 940 million.
Qualcomm shares are down $3.38, or 5%, at $62.62 in late trading.

Lionsgate continues to confound us with its casting choices for the March 2012 adaptation of The Hunger Games. Since this epic story comes to us in a book, each of the thousands of readers has a specific view of what each character should look like, yet you would think that there would be enough similarity for an actor to satisfy most fans. But instead, the movie's casting directors seem to have chosen actors — Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson — who look the complete opposite from their characters' physical descriptions. We've decided to help out and provide actors who may have the chops to play these characters, but look nothing like them.
It's Opposite Day with 'The Hunger Games' Casting!

Long time no diary. I have updated my publicly accessible page since it was several projects out of date.
Released PaleoHack 0.02 this week. Lo, many bugs were fixed (though it still crashes now and then). Unfortunately there are four or five other tasks that people would probably have preferred me to work on instead.
With the aid of the google kibozer I like to keep an eye on people who talk about roguelikes and PDAs (since often they are talking about me). Today I was rather charmed by the optimism of someone who, after first inquiring to discover whether anyone had already done it, declared his intent to port Nethack to Java so that it could run on his Nokia cell phone.
It took umpteen tries to post this entry, so I remember now why I haven't updated the diary in a long time.

Trends in U.S. Military Spending (935K PDF)
Publisher Council on Foreign Relations
Release Date July 15, 2014
Military budgets are only one gauge of military power. A given financial commitment may be adequate or inadequate depending on the number and capability of a nation's adversaries, how well a country invests its funds, and what it seeks to accomplish, among other factors. Nevertheless, trends in military spending do reveal something about a country's capacity for coercion. Policymakers are currently debating the appropriate level of U.S. military spending given increasingly constrained budgets and the winding down of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The following charts present historical trends in U.S. military spending and analyze the forces that may drive it lower.
These charts draw on data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) and from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). Both data sets include spending on overseas contingency operations as well as defense. This distinguishes them from data used in the U.S. budget, which separates defense spending from spending on overseas operations.
To see why U.S. military spending is likely to keep falling as a share of global military spending, it helps to look at the drivers of this ratio. For any country, a change in military spending as a share of the global total can be attributed to two factors: changes in income and changes in the allocation of that income. A rising share of global military expenditure based on a rising share of global GDP (gross domestic product) is likely to be more sustainable over the long term than an increase based on a decision to spend more of GDP on defense at the expense of other priorities. The following charts distinguish between the impact of growth and the allocation of income on the U.S. share of global military spending.
The next chart consolidates the information from the previous three images. The black line shows the U.S. share of world military spending at five-year intervals, while the bars show what drove the change during each five-year period. The blue bars show how willing the nation has been since 2000 to spend a rising share of GDP on defense. Even if one assumes this commitment holds steady in the next two years, and if one uses International Monetary Fund growth estimates, the U.S. share of military spending is set to decline as U.S. GDP growth (represented by the red bar) is lower than that of other military powers (represented by the purple bar).
If the United States decided to spend a smaller share of GDP on the military, the black line on the previous page would decline more sharply still. How likely is this? The following three charts show how U.S. overseas operations have been shrinking and that they are likely to continue to do so.
The following charts provide some historical perspective on military spending.
To put U.S. military spending in context, consider GDP and population shares relative to the rest of the world, as of 2013. The pie charts demonstrate that the United States accounts for a larger share of global military spending than of either GDP or population, and would continue to even if military spending were to revert to 2000 levels as a percent of GDP.
As noted at the outset, military power depends on multiple factors, including the military budgets of a country's allies. To get a sense of this factor, the chart from page four was redone, with spending by NATO, Japan, South Korea, Israel, and Saudi Arabia added to the analysis. The United States and these allies account for a formidable 75 percent of global military spending in 1995. However, as the black line in the chart shows, the trend is less reassuring. The United States' and its allies' share of world military spending fell from 2005 to 2010. It is projected to fall further, to 63 percent by 2015, even if U.S. spending as a share of GDP holds up at today's levels. Budgetary pressures in Europe may mean this share falls even more rapidly.
What would happen if the U.S. defense budget were cut? Differences in military spending among countries tend to have a big influence on equipment procurement and a far smaller one on personnel count.

This Election's 4 Deepest Democracy Victories You Missed
Posted by Shannon Biggs in Community Rights, Elect Democracy, People Power, Not Corporate Power on 12th November, 2012 | 5 Comments
What does Susan B. Anthony have in common with voters in Montana, Ohio and Pennsylvania? What you probably missed in the glare of the pundits flashy graphics and Wed-morning quarterbacking were the real victories by and for people actually asserting their rights on Election Day. And regardless of political affiliation; against the dollars and scare tactics of huge corporations; sometimes against their own elected officials; AND against the mighty Robed Nine of the Supreme Court—they WON.

text: We have a stock rustler with a 7cell NiMH & xl-5 esc ..we switched our motor to the Firebolt 15t 540 and a 17t pinion gear. The battery we have doesn't last for more than 10 minutes on a full charge. My sons getting a bit tired of that... I want to switch to LiPo but not sure if we should get a 3s or 2s. I have read the power ratio of the 7cell NiMH is close to a 2s but I wasnt sure if we can get a 3s in case we want to upgrade to brushless later. So, can we run a brushed motor on the 3s or should I just get the 2s to be safe? Whats your opinion on brand and also what charger to get?

Theologian dissects 'The Da Vinci Code,' April 18
Posted April 15, 2005; 11:35 a.m.
Luke Timothy Johnson, a professor in the Candler School of Theology at Emory University, will discuss Dan Brown's best-seller "The Da Vinci Code" at 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 18, in McCosh 10.
Titled "'The Da Vinci Code,' the Culture Wars and the New Gnosticism," Johnson's lecture will relate the popularity of the controversial novel to the societal debates often described as "the culture wars." He also will place the novel in the context of the renewed interest in early Gnosticism.
Johnson is the R.W. Woodruff Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins at Emory. His books include "The Real Jesus: The Misguided Quest for the Historical Jesus and the Truth of the Traditional Gospels" (1996), "The Writings of the New Testament: An Interpretation" (2002) and "Religious Experience in Earliest Christianity: A Missing Dimension in New Testament Study" (1998).
The Aquinas Institute is sponsoring this lecture. Cosponsors include the Baptist Student Fellowship, the Episcopal Church at Princeton, the Princeton Graduate Christian Fellowship, the Lutheran Campus Ministry (Concordia Society), Manna Christian Fellowship, the Office of Religious Life, Princeton Presbyterians and the Wesley Foundation at Princeton.

Seems like Massachusetts should get a little more credit. Between 1981 and 2008 MA residents paid in $923,986 million dollars in federal taxes yet they received federal payments back of only $847,872 millions dollars (www.taxfoundation.org). Without states like MA, all those states dependent on the federal government would not get to share the 76,114,000,000 profit that the feds continue to reap from MA over the years. For example, picking a few states at random, Virginia received $375,627,000,000 more in federal payments than they contributed during this time period. Then there is NC which only received $9,255,000,000 more in federal payments than they contributed and Idaho which only received $21,528,000,000 more and Texas had a net gain of 133,310,000,000.
I guess this should be #6 on the list that started this thread.

I especially like the see-thru "glass". It seems so authentic with the clear Sprinkles sticker on it. I can't say the same for the table though. Even from the picture, you can see how it is not snuggly fitted to its base. It will require some powerful gluing to straighten that sucker.
And again, the stickers on the small cups kept coming off. This time, I didn't fix it to show what I meant from the DQ setting. I wasn't impressed by the simplicity of the food miniatures. They didn't seem too realistic. But then when I googled Sprinkles, it was actually how their cupcakes looked. How interesting. I am so tempted to have one of these babies except there is no franchise in Toronto.
I had a few more photos of both the DQ and Sprinkles attached to each other but my camera is having problems so it will have to wait another day.
The Sprinkles version has a few more issues than I had hoped. That table really annoyed me but it's nothing unfixable. The overall prettiness of the setting is its saving grace. I still think it's a fun toy. Miniatures and attachable store settings are always fun.
Happy Monday!

This one is super cute! xo JenniferReplyDelete
Thanks for your review about these little diorama. I saw them in store and was wondering if I should get them. Sprinkles is an amazing place by the way and their cupcakes are delicious! The miniature cupcakes in your photos are a actually a very good replica of the real thing. Their cupcakes all have this very big layer of cream on top and it's beautifully done... never a bad looking one.ReplyDelete
Hey hey! Always loved your miniature series :)ReplyDelete
By the way, I have nominated your blog to the Liebster Blog Award.. I hope you could join in the fun :) Please check out my post about it below..

Aug 26, 2010
Accommodation and facilities:
With the Full Moon Bungalows you get what is says on the tin, and thats not a bad thing at all. The biggest positives by far are the location if you want to avoid the Chaweng madness and the couple who run the place, Paul and Sue are always at hand to provide advice, tips and will make a real effort to cater to your needs, wether it be booking tours (getting deals) and making your stay as comfortable as possible. I have read some negative comments posted here but there are 2 sides to every story. Its not the cheapest accomodation, that is a fair comment but i never felt unsafe or in need of anything more. I would stay there again for sure.

Dont stay here. We paid online for a family room as travelling with a 2yr old. Got there to find we had to go out for the day whist the owner tried to knock a hole in the wall to put in some aircon. Never happend. We were giving a standard room (one bed, instead of the 2 bedrooms and lounge we had paid for!). The light didnt work, he brought us a lamp, until he needed it for poker. The cleaner took some of my daughters toys. We only got SOME money back on the last day....but he still charged us 1000bht a night, and on our last trip to thailand we spent 350baht for nicer accomodation! He helped us rent a car. The door opened of its own accord, and the aircon leaked. Charged us double what we found elsewhere. Full of drunk middle aged western men beating up there thai girlfriends. Very close to the pier for full moon party, but shop around!! He will steal from you!

Accommodation and facilities:
Unbelievably overpriced. A bunch of run-down shacks. When I arrived, no one was there. My taxi driver and I looked around, knocked on some doors, and called the contact number (and then a cell phone started ringing behind the bar--so the owner didn t have his phone on him). Finally the owner and a friend showed up, and they appeared to be drunk (it was about 6PM). He said that he thought my arrival date was the previous day (although I d booked the cab ride simultaneously, and he d been waiting for me at the right time). As the cab driver helped me get my bags to the room, he told me those are whiskey guys. If anyone knocks on your door tonight, do NOT open! Then he gave me his card and said I could call him any time if I needed help. Needless to say, I was a bit unnerved--I frequenly travel solo, but as a woman, I feel I usually have to be overly cautious. I was going to leave, but it started raining in torrents, and the electricity went out. So I stayed put and slept there. In the morning, I went to return my key just before 10:30AM (the checkout time posted on the door), and again--no one was to be found. The bar/reception area was a disaster area with empty beer cans and bottles and cigarettes strewn around. I set my key on the bar and left. NOT recommended!

nice place with friendly staff. you meet a lot of people on their way to Koh Phangan, cause the Ferry is right beside. the rooms are ok and clean. The beach Bar is beautiful, cocktails are great and they ve got real coffee, not that instant coffee. If you re looking for a good time at Big Buddha Beach, thats the right place. Would come back every time.

Paul made me feel so welcome ~ I stayed just for one night before catching the morning ferry to Koh Tao and had a wonderful time. My bungalow was clean and if I needed anything at all, Paul was more than willing to accommodate. I would stay here again for the hospitality alone and to watch the most amazing sunsets ever

Enjoyed my stay at full moon bungalows!The location is perfect for anyone who is considering travelling to the Full moon party on Koh Phangan. Its situated right on the beach beside the pier for the speed boat to head out to Koh Phangan. The staff were friendly and very helpful! The beach was right on the doorstep and was a brillant place to relax! My favorite is the beach bar area where you meet other travellers. its a great hang out place with chill-out music. Watching the stunning sunsets with ice cold beer was awesome! I for one will definitely be coming back again. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at full moon bungalows! I was travelling on my own so I especially appreciated the warm anf freindly atmosphere of the bar and other travellers who were staying there including the owner who took me and another guest with him to see a local Thai boxing show that was on the night we arrived. The location is perfect for anyone who is considering travelling to the Full moon party on Koh Phang yang as you can literally step out the front door and on to the ferry! Also the owner has been here for many years and seen it all so if you need any info he can sort you out! It is in a quieter part of town away from all the big noise and bars but is definately not isolated, Just quieter so would be a great place to bring kids. There are many shops and restaurants located within a stones throw and a taxi to the main part of town only costs 100Bht, around $3. Theres a few bars and internet cafe s along the main street and It has everything you need except lots of people. The owner is English so theres no chance of anyhting being lost in translation which can sometimes happen with Thai operated resorts. He has plenty of local knowledge and quite often can save you alot of money and help you avoid the tourist traps. This was invaluable to me as I was travelling alone and had no knowledge of this part of the country. This place is very relaxing with a million dollar veiw from the the bar. I would recomend it to Families and couples and single travelers alike, as it is a great base for exploring Koh Samui and its a nice place to come back to and be away from the hustle and bustle! All in all I had a great time and will Definately stay there again with my family next time!

Vraiment pas terrible par rapport à ce à quoi on s attendait. La chambre était propre mais très très simple pour le prix et par rapport aux hotels environnants et pratiquant les mêmes tarifs. Je ne le conseille pas du tout. La nuit a été bruyante avec des gens qui tiraient des pétards dans la rue, des chiens qui aboyaient ...

What a great place Paul and Angela along with their friendly manager Nok have created here. Lovely location right on the beach with an intimate bar area to sit and admire the beautiful sunsets. Room was very spacious and clean. It s only a small group of bungalows so no issues with noise, overcrowding etc. There is a great little food market area just over the road which serves great soups and curries for a pittance. You can bring the food back to the bar to have a nice chilled Tiger beer to accompany it. If you are very lucky you also get to share the owners latest catch (I m not convinced it didn t come from the market) :) Overall if you are looking for a convenient base in Koh Samui with a welcoming and chilled out atmosphere, this should be your first port of call. Thanks again - Duncan

If you re looking for a big clean room, air conditioning, tv and a 15 metre walk to an iddylic beach then this is a great place to go. Along with the beautiful view from the bar are cheap food and drinks including cheese toasties! You re also a short walk away from a PADI scuba diving school so if you re a keen diver then this is also a bonus!

I intend to do a "Restoration Series" on this, our 1959 British Daimler Ferret Scout Car and all it's collectable equipment schedule. The military vehicles are the "centre" of our family Military Collection. It is the Mk2/3 variant. The Daimler Ferret Scout Car (we'll call it the "Ferret" from now on to save space) would have seen service from Aden to Germany to Northern Ireland and many other places inbetween, in all it's history and number of variants. In this "series" I am going to focus mainly on this Mk2/3 type and all it's accessories and the hard "slog" it took to get it from "wreck" to "fully operational"
Photo .1 Is my brother Keith (owner) on the day it was first collected. A bit of work and it fired up after many years! We drove it 30 miles to the holding area! That was an adventure in itself!! At one stage we were at a road "T" junction, when a Police car skidded to a stop...the two police officers looked at us, looked at each other, shook their heads in the negative and drove on their way! (?? Too much difficult paperwork??)
Photo.2 Is my good self, posing proudly with the beast.
Photo.3 Loading up and final check ready for Keith to drive it 250 miles to restoration base. That was a truely insane journey, using motorways and several instances of rubber-necking, head shaking Police Officers, slowing down, before speeding off with a final despairing wave of disbelief!
Photo.4 The fate of our Ferret if we had not rescued it from a similar situation! The Government are not too happy about operating Military hardware, especially armour, falling into civilian hands. Both being dedicated members of the UK "Military Vehicle Trust" does help. In later posts I will show it in it's full and final glory, representing at Veterans Parades and Military Shows!
Brief History:
The Ferret was developed in 1949 as a result of the British Army's need to obtain a replacement model for its Second World War light armoured vehicles. Due to the success of their Reconnaissance Scout Car, the "Dingo", Daimler was employed to design and manufacture the Ferret. Although "Daimler" it is powered by the awesome Rolls Royce B60 engine. To see our Ferret and HEAR the B60 run cut'n'paste the link below into your browser:
I will later post another video of one of our more memorable road runs!!
The Ferret shared many similar design features with the Dingo and Canadian Ford Lynx, but featured a larger fighting compartment and an optional small machine gun turret. It was built from an all-welded monocoque steel body, making the vehicle lower but also making the drive extremely noisy inside as all the running gear was within the enclosed body with the crew. Four wheel drive was incorporated together with "Run flat" tyres (which kept their shape even if punctured in battle, thus enabling a vehicle to drive to safety.) The turret, though not fitted to all models, carried a single machine gun. Six grenade launchers fitted to the hull (three on each side) could carry smoke grenades.
It is fast and small enough to be used in an urban environment but strong enough to negotiate rugged terrain off road. The Ferret is no longer in service in the British Army, although several Commonwealth countries still operate them to this day. They have been popular with private collectors like my brother and I; due to the compact size and affordable price e.g. around $20,000 to $30,000 in the USA, $40,000 to $60,000 In Australia and New Zealand, and £12,500 to £18,500 in UK
Heres the link for PART 2 of my Collectors Weekly post on the Ferret:

- Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

Golf in Costa del Sol
Your stay at the hotel Pez Espada, choosing the board your prefer with one Green Fee per person (18 holes) in the Club Lauro Golf.
Lauro Golf (Costa del Sol)
Regarded as one of the best courses in Europe, one of the main features is the variety in the design of its fairways, because you need to think carefully about the best club on every single shot. Bolder players will have the opportunity to pitch their skill against every hole and enjoy them all, regardless of handicap. The greens are quite special due to their size and movement. Numerous lakes and strategically placed bunkers make this course a real test. Over 100 varieties of trees line the fairways. Beautiful views of the Mediterranean coast.

Sometimes I can be a little too sensitive...
Case-sensitivity is a given in most *NIX and programming environments. But in your editors and tools, case sensitivity is a double-edged sword. Sometimes it's nice to have case-insensitive search so you can find every matching sequence, but just as often I end up getting "too many hits". And doing find and replace insensitively can be really annoying. If only there was a smarter way to manage case!
There is. vim has a neat feature called "smartcase" that searches insensitively if you use all lower-case, but searches case-sensitively if you include any capital letters in your search. So,
... would find "foo", "Foo", "fOO", etc., but
... would only match on "Foo".
To enable smartcase, you also need to enable case-insensitivity. You can put this in your
set ignorecase " Do case insensitive matching
set smartcase " I'm sensitive, but not too sensitive.
However, if you want to do this on a case by case basis, you can do this in vim at runtime with
:set ignorecase and
:set smartcase. (
:set nosmartcase and
:set noignorecase will undo the option.) Happy hacking!

Great high-quality entry-level headphones.
Pros: Outstanding build quality and accessories. Fairly balanced frequency response and good sound quality which improves with basic amping.
Cons: The lack of the usual treble peak makes the sound a bit dull for some.
After spending some time speaking to Val, the owner of V-MODA, in Tokyo, he send me a pair of these to evaluate and give feedback on. I reckon if Apple made headphones, they'd turn out something like these. The attention to detail in the design is fantastic.
After Tyll Hertsens wrote his review on InnerFidelity, I'm at a loss as to what I can usefully add to what has already been said by him, as well as everyone else.
The overall sound-signature isn't as bright as many other headphones, lacking the usual treble peak found between 6-10 kHz, so they sound, to me, a little "thick" and muffled. However, Val made an interesting point, that DJs who use models with that treble peak often end up losing their hearing in those ranges as DJs listen LOUD. So while the sound signature doesn't entirely agree with me, it does make sense for younger people who buy them who are likely to turn up the sound quite a bit more than I do now.
I did EQ in a treble peak in iTunes (on my Mac) or EQu on my iPhone to get an idea of their ability as headphones. Giving the 4, 8 and 16k sliders a bit of a boost helped especially with classical music which works better with brighter headphones.
While they sound good out of my iPhone they benefit from the use of an amp. I took them along with me with my Fostex HP-P1, which improved the sound noticeable, primarily in that some harshness that is present out of an iPod was no longer there. I'd say though that the Foxtex is overkill for them ($7-800 vs. <$200 for the M-80s). It'd be interesting to nail down where the price sweet-spot is with amping as I think my iPhone is fine as a source, just needs a bit better amping performance. My MacBook Pro, on the other hand, seemed about spot-on.
Back when I registered on Head-Fi, the pads on my MB Quarts had gone flat, so I was looking for a new pair of headphones. They had cost me almost exactly the amount you can buy the M-80s for. Listening with the M-80s out of my MacBook Pro now, I wish they had existed when I first joined, as for the music I liked then (pop, rock and the like) they are spot-on with sweet vocal performance for a relatively inexpensive pair of headphones.

Some boykins are real nice. Some not so much.hope this insight helps.
Seriously they can be great dogs...
I've had several, and have one real nice young male 17 months old that ill be running in Open at the Nationals this spring. He's a tad moody (which is how I describe training them). They can be obstinate especially when you are in big dog work. But he's a joy to hunt with and seems to show up on game day.
I've FFd, I think 5 of them in the last couple years. Never had any issues other than sometimes they're so wired and active you gotta head lock them to keep them still.
I follow a typical Carr based formula but there are times you have to adjust tactics.
I think Angie said it best there are no 90 day wonders.
the good ones are fun to watch and be with.
But the ones that prance out to the marks at tests real prissy like can be brutal.
"Not for the faint of heart" -
Ain't no telling what 23 pounds of terror can get up to...
including hallucinating that they might have to outgrow having a canine Napoleon syndrome
Flushing and hupping to it is such an imposition on their busy time...but when they do sit still, they sit for a long and mighty companionable time. None better at it in my experience with Boykins and (plenty of) other breeds going back 50-odd years.

Please Mike Dee! CHoose the one that was just leaked. its so perfect. Modern yet classy and clean. It's exactly what the redesign needed and delivers across the board. At initial leak most hated it. Already we've seen an impressive change In feedback. Fans are starting to warm to it just a day later. All new logos are initially hated and greeted with negative feedback. but once you show the logo on a helmet and a brand new uniform design most will be super excited. YOu have put In a lot of work do not turn back now.

Personally I like the classic look. i hope they don't end up with a USFL style look.
my opinion is the logo was "Leaked" to get a reaction from some fans..
the leaked logo is not my favorite. I hope they just update the old Dolphin,
Back to the 70's colors and lose the helmet. take the smile off and make it look meaner.

Make a quick salad of sliced beets and red onion rings on a bed of greens drizzled with vinaigrette dressing. Serve rye rolls or bread on the side.
Savory Impossibly Easy Pies can be covered and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking. You may need to bake a bit longer than the recipe directs since you'll be starting with a cold pie. Watch carefully for doneness.
