Depending on the model you get it will hold either 350, 700, 1500 or 2100 balls.
The M350 is $34.00. WAY too expensive for 2.5 pods (140 rnd pods)of paint.
M700 is $59.00. Still way too expensive for for 5 pods...
the M2100 is $140 and that's about 15 pods. That makes sense for a big game since you can't really carry that many pods. But it's still cheaper to buy 14 Dye 160 rnd lock lid pods.
I personally can't see enough people buying these things to make a vest viable to the general market.
I'm sure MOATI could do a custom vest for you though.
Mind you having a vest in itself to hold the pods makes it at least even, no? The issue is bothering to mount it on a vest, it'd be better to have it BE the vest with MOLLE for optional extras.

Ventnor is a picturesque Victorian seaside town situated on the southern side of the Isle of Wight, right in the heart of the famed Undercliff. A majority of the locality is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty – and rightly so, the local scenery is simply breathtaking.
Sheltered from the north by the National Trust owned St. Boniface Downs, Ventnor benefits from its own micro climate. This climate provides an ideal haven for a variety of flora and fauna, many species of which are only found in Mediterranean countries – you can see a rich and beautiful selection at Ventnor Botanical Gardens, and in many of the town's residents' gardens for that matter.
Ventnor town's crest bears the figure of Hygeia, the goddess of health, who serves to remind us that, since Victorian times, many visitors have benefited from the revitalizing and restorative properties that the town's micro climate offers. So why not see how it works for you? It beats the Mainland any day of the week.

Let's set a day/time for our bi-monthly meetingsby John Jackson on Tue, Nov 25, 2014 at 04:31 pm
in ALA Website Advisory Committee
Below is the login info needed to access the recording from last week's WAC meeting. If you were not able to attend, please review the recording. I'll post the minutes to our Connect site soon.
Link: http://ala.adobeconnect.com/p2uhra4ofkk/ (Use "WAC2015" for access.)
One of our most important decisions from this meeting was to hold bi-monthly meetings in between Midwinter and Annual in March, May, September, and November. Let's try to establish a set day/time ASAP so we can get in on our collective calendar. How does the first week of each of those months work? To that end, please fill out this poll:
http://doodle.com/fxpm7wvufqpnvwa9 (Thursdays are intentionally left off)
If the first week of each month doesn't work, we can explore other weeks but my guess is that any week is as good as the next on average for a group this large. =)
We also discussed a number of possible short-term projects to tackle between now and Annual. I'll be posting about each of these individually here on our Connect site in the next few days.

Have another Pat Condell rant, this one on why Europe needs a revolution against the anti-democratic EU:

Protestors March Against UK's Non-Existent AusteritySaturday, June 21st, 2014
I see that #NoMoreAusterity is trending on Twitter this morning. It seems the usual leftist protest sorts are rallying against the Cameron government's "austerity."
The only problem is it doesn't exist.
Real austerity is cutting government spending until it matches receipts. Under David Cameron, deficit spending has merely gone from 11.4% of GDP in 2010 to a projected 5.8% in 2014. So the UK government hasn't practiced austerity, it's merely slowed the rate at which it's digging its own grave.
For the protestors, this simply will not do. They want government to give them things, and if it means having the moribund economies of Greece and Spain, so be it.
But unlike Greece and Spain, the UK won't be able to get Germany to bail them out, nor to hold down the hyperinflation that is the inevitable endpoint of excess deficit spending.
More EU Election FalloutWednesday, May 28th, 2014
It's hard to know just how much weight to put in widespread gains by Eurosceptic parties in EU elections, mainly because the EU decision-making process seems so opaque to outsiders. Even if Eurosceptic Parties had won significant majorities, you get the impression that they would be like Patrick McGoohan's character on The Prisoner after he got elected #2, issuing orders and flipping switches to no effect whatsoever:
Even were the Eurosceptics to form a coalition, power would still lie in the Council, or, some feel, in the permanent unelected EU bureaucracy. The entire apparatus seems designed specifically to thwart popular will and keep all power in the hands of the continental elite.
More reactions to the election:
The architects of the EU envision a European superstate in which national identity is subordinated to the abstraction of "Europe." The regime would be internationalist but only titularly democratic: the real power (as has been traditional on the continent) would reside in a technocratic elite, not the people. But the people, it seems, have just awakened to this reality and it turns out they don't like it.
One take-away from yesterday's election is this: when conservative parties cease providing a natural home for the community-binding sentiments of patriotism and national identity—when, that is to say, conservative parties cease being conservative—those parts of the population not indentured to the apparatus of dependency look elsewhere.
John O'Sullivan in National Review:
These results are merely the latest evolution of a very ominous long-term trend for the Tories. As Anthony Scholefield and Gerald Frost pointed out in their 2011 study Too Nice to Be Tories, the Conservative Party has been steadily losing one region of the United Kingdom after another in the last 40 years. It used to be able to depend on nine to twelve Unionist votes from Northern Ireland for its parliamentary majority; it gets none now. It won half the Scottish seats in 1955; the last three general elections each returned one Scottish Tory to Parliament. It wins eight seats out of 40 in Wales. And from the 158 MPs elected from the North of England, the Tories got 53.
This is a dreadful record, but it could get worse. UKIP is now starting to replace the Tories as the main challenger to Labour in northern working-class constituencies. The new party takes votes in particular from culturally conservative and patriotic working-class men whom both major parties have abandoned in their pursuit of urban middle-class progressives. UKIP may therefore be a threat to both parties, but the local elections suggest that it is a bigger threat to the Conservative party.
All this leaves Cameron with difficult choices:
Either he does the electoral deal with UKIP that he now says he won't do, in which the Tories agree to support UKIP candidates in a given number of seats in return for UKIP's not fielding candidates elsewhere. In London, for instance, that would give UKIP an electoral base of something just above 40 percent — in Britain as a whole an even larger one.
Or he contrives to lose the Scottish referendum on independence, which would remove only one Tory from the House of Commons but 41 Labourites and 11 Lib-Dems.
France's ruling class are in a panic following the strong showing of Le Pen's National Front.
Here's a piece from the Jewish magazine Tablet in 2011 suggesting that Marine Le Pen has worked to purge the party of the antisemitism her father exhibited. Maybe.
Could UKIP and Eurosceptic parties even form a majority coalition in the European parliament? Possible but doubtful.
Then there's the question of who would lead such a coalition, Nigel Farage or Marine Le Pen. Anglo-French rivalry is not exactly unknown…
Walter Russell Mead Visits EuropeThursday, October 17th, 2013
The indomitable Walter Russell Mead has been traipsing around Europe, and has much of interest to report from various countries there regarding the continuing slow-motion Euro crisis.
The Italians? Not happy.
The Italians feel caught in a cruel trap; the euro is killing them but they don't see any alternative. When a German visitor gave the conventional Berlin view (the southern countries got themselves into trouble by bad policy, and austerity is the only way out; budget discipline and cutting labor costs are the only way Italy can once again prosper), a roomful of Italians practically jumped on the table to denounce his approach.
The Italian position is basically this: it's crazy to blame Italy or the other southern countries (except Greece, which nobody seems to like very much) for the euromess; Germany played a huge role in designing the poorly functioning euro system in the first place and remains its chief beneficiary. When German banks lent billions to Spanish real estate developers and hoovered up the bonds of southern countries, where were the German bank regulators? German politicians, say the Italians, don't want to admit to their voters that incompetent German bankers and incompetent German bank regulators wrecked the German financial system by making stupid loans worth hundreds of billions of euros. In a "normal" world, German politicians would have to go to their taxpayers to fund a huge bailout of insolvent German banks thanks to their cretinous euro-lending. Pain would be more equitably distributed between borrowers and lenders.
From an Italian point of view, much of Europe's austerity isn't the result of German moral principles; Italians think that a cynical absence of moral principles led the German political class to scapegoat garlic-eating foreigners in a desperate attempt to prevent the voters from noticing just how recklessly incompetent the German elite really is. Germany is using the mechanisms of the euro to force southern governments to bail out German (and French and other northern) banks at immense social pain and economic cost. The Italians, even sensible and moderate ones who want to cooperate with Europe, totally reject the logical and moral foundations of the German approach to the crisis, and they feel zero gratitude or obligation to make life easier for Germany as the drama unfolds.
The French? Not happy.
In France, the people I spoke with worried about the rise of the National Front. According to some polls the ultra-right could emerge as the biggest party in France in the next round of regional and European elections. The French Socialists under the increasingly unpopular President Hollande don't seem to have much idea about how to move forward; their most popular politician at the moment is a Minister of the Interior who is trying to compete with the National Front for the anti-immigrant vote by breaking up encampments of Roma and denouncing them as immigrants who don't want to assimilate.
Also they, and the rest of Europe, seriously misunderstand the Tea Party:
One of the reasons Europeans are so fearful of the Tea Party is that they assume that because it is right wing and populist it is like the National Front in France or Golden Dawn in Greece. Today's small government American Tea Partiers are much farther from Huey Long and Father Coughlin in their political views than some European right wingers are from the darker demagogues of Europe's bloody past, and until the European establishments understand this, they will likely continue to misjudge the state of American politics.
The Germans? It's complicated.
There are Germans who sympathize with the Italian critique of EU austerity policy, but Germans on the whole seem to feel that in pushing a tough reform agenda in Europe, and linking further payments and bailouts to that reform agenda, they are doing their neighbors a favor. They sincerely believe that their own relatively strong economic performance is the result of their willingness to accept some liberalizing reforms coupled with a commitment to fiscal prudence. They think that by exporting this model they are helping other European countries on the path to lasting prosperity, and they believe that with some patience, the other European countries will soon begin to experience the benefits of German-style economic reform.
Europe, of course, has a very unhappy history with things labeled "German-style."
Mead feels that Europe is rich enough to continue subsidizing it's Euro-folly for the immediate future, but it comes at a cost:
The bitter public feelings generated by the euro crisis and its long, painful aftermath are still working their slow and ugly way through the European political system. In country after country we are seeing steady gains by political movements that bear a superficial resemblance to the American Tea Party, but in fact flirt much more with the kind of dangerous nationalist and chauvinist ideas that have proven so destructive in Europe's past.
It's a sobering, moderately lengthy read, and I commend all of it to your attention.
LinkSwarm for September 13, 2013Friday, September 13th, 2013
My schedule is finally close to getting back to normal after Worldcon, so here's the latest Friday LinkSwarm:
LinkSwarm for August 23, 2013Friday, August 23rd, 2013
Another Friday LinkSwarm on Friday, to make your Friday seem more like Friday:
To improve the socio-economic development of Africa, the continent desperately needs private innovations, empowered by rule of law and an ambience of free enterprise, free of restrictive government regulations.Economic growth and development is indeed a vital ingredient towards achieving prosperity and a free society. However, it takes a spontaneous market driven approach without state interventionist barriers to achieve the noble aim, not foreign aid.
European Debt Crisis Update for July 10, 2013Wednesday, July 10th, 2013
The ongoing European Debt Crisis hasn't ended, it's merely undergoing a summer hiatus while the various bankers and Eurocrats involved in the shell game take their customary 8 week vacations. As such, expect a new round of crisis headlines to come rolling in during the fall.
Remember: The purpose of the shell game is to let insiders unload their bad debts onto taxpayers. (Look how it was done in Ireland for pointers.) The shell game will continue as long as the insiders can get away with buying off restive electorates with an unsustainable cradle-to-grave welfare state.
Europe's present is our future.
LinkSwam for May 31, 2013Friday, May 31st, 2013
The season has switched from not Summer to Summer here in Texas, so here's a hot, humid LinkSwarm:
Notice how countries that have kept their deficit spending relatively low (Germany and even the UK, where deficits has at least decreased under Cameron) are doing much better than the PIIGS. Again, Austerity hasn't failed in Europe, it's been declared difficult and left untried.
What Austerity?Monday, May 27th, 2013
Forbes makes the same point that I have made repeatedly: Austerity has not been tried and failed in Europe, it has been found difficult and left untried.
The official figures show that PIIGS governments embarked on massive spending sprees between 2000 and 2008. During this period, their combined general government expenditures rose from 775 billion Euros to 1.3 trillion – a 75 percent increase. Ireland had the largest percentage increase (130 percent), and Italy the smallest (40 percent). These spending binges gave public sector workers generous salaries and benefits, paid for bridges to nowhere, and financed a gold-plated transfer state. What the state gave has proven hard to take away as the riots in Southern Europe show.
Then in 2008, the financial crisis hit. No one wanted to lend to the insolvent PIIGS, and, according to the Keynesian narrative, the PIIGS were forced into extreme austerity by their miserly neighbors to the north. Instead of the stimulus they desperately needed, the PIIGS economies were wrecked by austerity.
Not so according to the official European statistics. Between the onset of the crisis in 2008 and 2011, PIIGS government spending increased by six percent from an already high plateau. Eurostat's projections (which make the unlikely assumption that the PIIGS will honor the fiscal discipline promised their creditors) still show the PIIGS spending more in 2014 than at the end of their spending binge in 2008.
Remember: Real austerity is cutting budgets until receipts match outlays. In Europe this hasn't been tried outside the Baltic states. Meanwhile, Japan has been trying Keynesian stimulus for two decades and has nothing to show for it but a mountain of debt.
Or take this abstract (I'm still working through the actual paper) from German Institute for Economic Research economist Georg Erber: "The core thesis of the paper is that taking a close look at the actual statistics available from Eurostat on the PIIGS-countries plus Cyprus, one finds little empirical evidence that the governments there have de facto reduced their total public expenditures."
Keynesian pump-priming hasn't worked in Europe. Could real austerity (i.e., cutting budgets until they're balanced) work to restore growth in Europe (and here)?
Why not actually try it and see?
Spain IS Beyond Doomed, But It's Not Practicing Real AusterityTuesday, April 30th, 2013
Take a look at these charts. Unemployment in Spain is up over 25%, and most have been unemployed more than 2 years. Matthew O'Brien is correct when he says that Spain's inflexible labor laws contribute greatly to the unemployment, but errs when he says that "austerity hasn't been the path to prosperity. It's been the path to perma-slump."
Austerity hasn't failed in Spain. It hasn't been tried.
Spain last ran a budget surplus in 2008, and since then it has engaged in deficit spending. In 2012, Spain's budget deficit was 9.4% of GDP, and this year it will be 10.6% of GDP.
Remember, real austerity isn't trying to tax-and-spend your way to prosperity. Real austerity is cutting budgets until outlays match receipts. Estonia bit the bullet and balanced its budget, and its economy is now growing at a steady clip. Meanwhile, governments all across Europe continue to try the same deficit spending Keynesian pump-priming, and keep having the same recession. In most of Europe, "austerity" has meant digging their own graves more slowly rather that stopping digging.
And European elites refuse to stop digging because their power and perks all stem from swaddling voters in an unsustainable cradle-to-grave welfare system.
If all this sounds familiar, that's because it is. Europe makes the same mistakes, gets the same results, and keeps doubling down on stupid, content to keep the farce running as long as they possibly can. Instead actually of solving the interrelated problems of debt, unsustainable entitlements, and the Euro, the Euroelite seem content to preside over the world's slowest, most boring train wreck. Yes, it's a pity the train is sliding inexorably toward the chasm, but there's such fine vintages to be had in the saloon car, and it offers such a magnificent view of the coming crash…

Federico Monzon from the Methodist Hospital Research Institute described how cancer screenings have evolved over time. For example, physicians who tested for breast cancer were originally limited to studying the morphology of the breast. Later, the science progressed to evaluating single biomarkers, such as analyzing estrogen receptors in tissue. Since that time, testing for breast cancer has advanced through biomarker panels, expression profiles, targeted sequencing of specific genes, exome sequencing, and, finally, to whole-genome sequencing. While this progression of tests has led to a greater understanding of disease morphology, it has also required laboratories and physicians to complete more complex analyses of the test results. As Monzon said, "This is an evolution of testing which is driven by our better understanding of disease, and with that better understanding of disease comes better clinical testing that we are doing in our laboratories."
Based on his experience with the genomic testing of cancer tissues, Monzon offered several challenges that laboratories can expect to face when performing their analyses. Chief among them is demonstrating the analytical and clinical validity of the genetic test, no matter whether the test is for a single gene or for the whole genome. A laboratory is responsible for determining whether a test is able to detect all described variants—whether in sequences, transcripts, or some other biological indicator—as well as for validating that the data are correct when the test finds something new. Furthermore, patients and payers depend on the laboratory to determine whether a test identifies patients who have a disease or are at risk for a disease.
Today's validation standards do not apply to multianalyte tests, much less to whole genomes. With millions of variants estimated to exist within a single genome, there are more potential backgrounds than individuals who can be used to validate the variants. It is thus a major question regarding how many patients or tumor types need to be identified for each variant detected; with the cross-genome differences among these patients, validating each variant in the same way that single-gene tests are handled is not possible, Monzon said.
No sequencing technology can validate every base pair, Monzon said, especially with variants that have never before been seen. Instead, laboratories will need to assess the concordance across results. Reference genomes will help in achieving analytically valid results. Laboratories will develop confidence in platforms based on experience, which will then generate confidence in results. Madhuri Hegde from the Emory University School of Medicine added that sequencing systems will inevitably introduce artifacts, and genomic analysis will need to separate those artifacts from real variants. As a result, some sort of confirmation, such as Sanger sequencing for the individual variant in question, will be necessary in many circumstances.

I want to lower my interest rate. Can I consolidate my credit card bills to lower my interest rate without it negatively affecting my credit rating?
I cannot say with certainty that your credit score will not be negatively affected if you consolidate your credit cards. When you say consolidating I assume you mean that you will be obtaining a new loan to pay off your current credit cards. It may be safe to say that if it does negatively impact your credit scores it may do so minimally. There is no logical reason to assume that your credit scores would drop extremely because of consolidating your credit cards. Normally, severe drops in credit scores are due to defaulting on payments, closing out accounts, filing for bankruptcy, foreclosure, accounts that go into collections, and more. I do not think that consolidating your credit cards, and the impact it will have on your credit should be of too much concern. That is unless you are in the process of refinancing or buying a home or a car.In those situations a minimal fluctuation in a credit score can impact the interest rate and possible qualification for obtaining the loan.
To find out more how your FICO score is calculated I recommend you read an article I wrote explaining FICO Score Calculation. This should give you a much clearer understanding of how credit scores work.

Ayo bad
Boy for life what change
Bu the name we's till here and we
Gonna get rocked up round here and raise the
Roof I'm livin proof
Super range out of

Roll wit me I'm 100 times

Go get tha show on the road let's blow

Off freaks diddy speaks.

More than 19 percent of the Auglaize County population, a total of 8,765 seniors, received Social Security benefits in 2012 ÔÇö but Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown said they are not getting the benefits they deserve.
ÔÇťBecause of Social Security, OhioÔÇÖs poverty rate for seniors is 8 percent,ÔÇŁ Brown said Wednesday during a media teleconference call. ÔÇťItÔÇÖs one of our nationÔÇÖs best anti-poverty programs and has been for seven decades. ItÔÇÖs not a hand out, itÔÇÖs an insurance mechanism.ÔÇŁ
Brown announced his support for the Strengthening Social Security Act of 2013, which he said would expand Social Security benefits, adjust the calculations of seniorsÔÇÖ cost of living and extend the life of the trust fund.┬á
Describing himself as a grandfather of two and admitting his age of 60 years, Brown said he knows what getting older means.
ÔÇťSince the beginning of Social Security in the ÔÇÖ30s and since the beginning of Medicare in 1965, people have lived longer and healthier lives,ÔÇŁ Brown said. ÔÇťIt really is what takes our country in the right direction.ÔÇŁ
For more information on the Social Security Act of 2013, see the Thursday, Nov. 7 edition of the Wapakoneta Daily News.

. . . Hydrangea. I was so surprised to happen upon this beautiful specimen:
I love that they are so fascinating in that, unlike most other plants, the color of their flowers can change dramatically. Losing a hundred pounds has been a dramatic change for me. My mindset into maintenance has been a little rocky, while at the same time, remaining within a pound or two of my recommended goal. Happy, Happy!
Just as the journey to a new and healthier person takes great diligence, determination, and commitment to a good action plan, you�ll find that changing the color of hydrangeas may not be so easy. Hydrangeas can change color as they adjust to the new environment with a varying pH balance in the soil. It is not unusual to see several different colors on one shrub the next year after planting.
You�re already active on one of the best websites to good health by being on SparkPeople.com. The website below gives tips on how to change the color of you hydrangeas should you be interested in learning about the application of aluminum to the soil.
More about hydrangeas: www.hydrangeashydrangeas.com/colorchange.html
Hope you�re making the adjustments you need to meet your goals successfully.
. . . without the questions
As inspired by NEWMAC2011's blog today:
I'm currently enjoying retirement (albeit, an early one) and confess to have been overweight, fat, and obese my entire life (except once in the mid-seventies for a brief stint). At 261 lbs, I wanted to lose one hundred pounds, so I considered myself morbidly obese and referred to these words regularly for motivation in starting the journey. Then I finally saw one too many photos of myself where I could not apply that �skinny photo� edit to. I jumped on the Weight Watcher bandwagon on May 31, 2006 when some coworkers joined Weight Watchers.
Type 2 diabetes had cropped its head up in my family and I knew it was only a matter of time. I had already been tested and required a sleep apnea machine, as well as meds for an irregular heart beat and high blood pressure.
I was tired of having to shop at the fat-women�s boutique and was beginning to find a little too much comfort in the 3X and 26/28 sizes. It was time to make a change. Besides, if I travel to another country, I don�t want the locals to point to me and say, �Look at that fat American.�
Healthy changes I�ve made include:
1) From eating high-cheese and high-fat commercial pizza to a much healthier pizza, with a cheese garnish, over veggies on a healthy tortilla, wrap, or sandwich thin.
2) From having a bowl or two (or three) of ice cream or frozen yogurt several times a week to a 110-150 calorie serving of low-fat ice cream or yogurt a few times a week.
3) From eating lots of sweet rolls, quick breads (banana and zucchini) and white breads, to eating some whole grains, light, and skinny-sliced breads and wraps.
4) From eating the creamy soups (clam chowder and cheesy broccoli) and Alfredo pastas to enjoying broth-based soups (Pho), whole-grain pastas, and marinara-based sauces. I occasionally taste the cream soups or eat small portions.
5) From thinking about lying down until the feeling to exercise was going away, to moving at least thirty minutes a day and often four times that during team competition. I enjoy walking and hiking on nature trails the most, but a walking DVD will do nicely. I also enjoy marching or walking in place and Tai Chi.
6) From frying in my Fry Daddy weekly, to shelving the unit totally. I occasionally share a fried dish out and occasionally bake something I would have normally fried. A teaspoon of olive oil goes a long way!
7) I love incorporating lots of freggies (fruits and vegetables). I enjoyed two plates of spicy hot veggies at the local Chinese buffet yesterday . . . lots of bean sprouts, onions, mushrooms, broccoli, pepper and pea pods helped to meet most of my daily nutrients (calories, protein, carbs, fat, calcium, and fiber) for the day, while my sodium was a little high.
For lunch today I enjoyed my version of a Thai cabbage salad.
Even though this weight loss journey of a hundred pounds took five years, I�m planning on maintaining a healthy life-long learning habit to keep my knowledge active. It feels good to be off the sleep apnea machine and buying a size 12/14 now. WooHoo!

. . . and yes, that was my lame attempt to mock McCoy when he proclaims many times over, "He's dead, Jim!" What can I say? I�m a bit of a Trekkie fan.
Paradise, during the summertime is sunny, hot, and wet � many times over -- within the same day. I thought I might take this opportunity to capture a little of the wild life we enjoy while here. We have flowering Jatrophia bushes in both the front and the back.
We seem to have a friendly bunny that enjoys a daily stroll through the yard.
Our Firebush has never looked so healthy and is about to bloom. At one time, we suspected it would go by the wayside like that of our Bird of Paradise and Live Oak tree (both lost in hurricane Wilma in October of 2005).
Our sea grape probably should have been trimmed back from the roof.
Our pigmy palms are doing nicely.
I can remember, while living in central Wisconsin, nurturing a split-leaf philodendron (first photo below) and schefflera (lizard sunbathing on leaf) for about ten years to what I thought were a monster of a plant. Then learned they grow like weeds (trees) in Florida. They are h-u-g-e and consistently need trimming back to control. I understand lizards are a sign of good health.
When we don�t get enough water, there seems to be enough �drip irrigation� that forms naturally from the roof line so that these beautiful ferns continue to thrive. This reminds me of being back in northern Wisconsin. That�s my partner doing what he enjoys the most while being here . . . being a lounge lizard, on the lanai, reading a good book (science fiction or mystery/adventure). Last year, after listening to a segment on the Today Show, I bought him the series of Stieg Larsson books, and he�s re-reading them all with this one being The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
May you find beauty at your fingertips today.
I�ve already been at the edge of my learning curve with my new Android phone . . . I don't think I've found the bells and whistles that my team�s dear TheTurtleBear found so useful while on vacation. So I'm still taking photos the old fashioned way, albeit with my twelfth digital camera. I'm finding that the older I get, the less I seem to be able to find all these changes as user-friendly as I wish they were.
My laptop has gradually been s-l-o-w-i-n-g down and I knew it was nearing life support. Then came the fatal message the morning after beginning a Norton scan: Back-up immediately . . . disk failure could be imminent! Yikes! This is it! Save me!
Whew! For someone who usually shops long and hard for the best deal, this what-seems-like-a-lifetime Sony girl has become a back-to-school Dell girl, learning a whole new set of what seems like everything (keyboard, software, etc). And yes, this has bitten into my SparkTime and fitness minutes. Fortunately, the peace that keeps me from falling off the technological edge is my continued muttering of the passage, �Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.� (Philippians 4:6-7)
Even though I've been a bit computer challenged, I have found that I was able to get much more prayer shawl knitting time in, create some great eats, and enjoy a cool sunset. MrsD shared with me an Easy Bean Salad and being that I enjoy a crunchy texture, added a few colorful yellow, red, and orange bell peppers and celery:

The sunset in paradise as I was leaving the computer shop and grocery store:
Many of you know how much I enjoy my food. I also like to take a little extra time occasionally to make it look like an extra special treat -- you should have seen my medically-induced �plain yogurt and gelatin� diet under glass with and candlelight � but I digress!
One of the biggest key to my success remains in measuring and tracking, so I take you through my breakfast this morning in three parts: measure, plate, and enjoy!

May you also get through the stresses of your day and enjoy something great!
I knew it all along! . . . I enjoy eating a little too much! The good news is that at least I�m enjoying a much healthier fare of food these days. The other day, I bought the most beautiful looking green beans, just as my friend, NorthwoodsMom8, was beginning to pick them in her garden. I don't know what it is with my "firsts" of the season, but I just can�t seem to get enough, then I proceed to pig out! I grilled five cups -- actually thinking I might share them with my mate -- and then proceeded on eating both plates! Sorry dear, you nap, you lose! . . . I just love vacations in paradise!
Nutrition: calories 219, fat 6, sodium 62, carbs 40, fiber 19, protein 10
I can hardly wait for my first plate of fresh vine-ripened tomatoes! I just came off of freggie (fruits and vegetables) challenge where I typically enjoy about twenty servings of fruits and vegetables in any given day. As you will see, I continue to enjoy my freggies! My fruit bowl breakfast is so thick, you can eat it with a fork. If I were to use a full mango yogurt serving, then I get a tasty, Indian-style healthy fruit salad or dessert cup for about four people.
Nutrition: calories 267, carbs 60, fat 1, protein 7
For lunch today, I had almost forgotten how good freshly ground pepper dressed up the best of my tossed salads . . . yummy! For the sake of convenience, sometimes I make salads in a big container and occasionally I just build two or three at a time. Also pictured is a 4-oz serving of my potato salad with 1 oz of the Special K chips with sea salt.
Combined nutrition: calories 394, fat 8, sodium 1174, carbs 64, fiber 10, protein 23
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is my way to say a special thanks to those of you who shared a comfort food substitution or recipe you enjoy. It means a lot to me!
Care to share another food that you attribute to the secret to your success? Whether it is now or later, please keep me in mind when the time is right.

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Jordan Adams scored 21 points and Norman Powell added 15 in his hometown to lead fourth-seeded UCLA to a 76-59 victory over 13th-seeded Tulsa on Friday night, spoiling the NCAA tournament head coaching debut of Danny Manning.
UCLA (27-8) advances to Sunday's third round in the South region against 12th-seeded Stephen F. Austin, which upset No. 5 VCU 77-75 in overtime.
In his first year at Westwood, Steve Alford coached the Bruins to just their third win in the NCAA tournament since 2009. It came in the city where John Wooden won the last of his 10 national championships, in 1975.
Tulsa (21-13) had its 11-game winning streak snapped. Manning led Kansas to the 1988 title and won another championship as a Jayhawks assistant coach six years ago.

Metro Tampa - Dinner & Brunch?
Coming into Tampa for the weekend and don't have a lot of extra time - so focusing on two good meals Saturday Dinner and Sunday Brunch. Lived in Miami and Boston and consider ourselves "foodies". We've been to Tampa only once. We try hard to stay away from chain and hotel restaurants. After a little searching here, on open-table and yelp, we are considering Saturday dinner at SIDEBERN'S and Sunday brunch at CIRCLES. Yea? Nea? Any other suggestions? Appreciate the help.
Sidebern's is worth the trip. Haven't been in a while but I'm sure you will have a fine experience.
I'd like to recommend Pane Rustica. I've appreciated this place as a bakery and gourmet sandwich spot for years now but have only recently experience their dinner menu. They are doing some great things with fresh and tasty ingredients. On a recent visit I was wowed with a dish of house made fetucine served with mussels, clams, salmon and a nice garlic cream sauce. My companion enjoyed a plate of gnocchi with beef tips in a red wine reduction. That sauce was sublime and the beef tips were perfectly seasoned and cooked. They gnocchi were rustic and perfectly cooked. You can also stop in for lunch or in the morning for the best breads and pastries in the area and cup of delicious Illy brand coffee.
Enjoy your visit. Hope you have some great meals.
Went to Sidebern's a couple of weeks ago and was not impressed. The food was quite bland, a huge disappointment. I would check out the dessert room at Berns, it's fabulous! I would recommend Donatello's on Dale Mabry or Mise En Place. As for Brunch I like Datz Deli or Oyster Catchers.
I agree w Pane Rustica, I prefer their lunch over their dinner but if you can't make it for lunch, then dinner is good to. They have really tasty breads and desserts, the Expresso Cookie is delish, big hunks of moist chocolate morsels, dusted w powdered sugar. The Rustica Salad is really good, fresh mozzarella, kalamata olives, roasted garlic, sooo good.
No, no, no to Sidebern's. Ever since the founding chef left, they have floundered. I have not heard anything good about it in ages.
For dinner Saturday, Pane Rustica for fresh, creative seasonal fare in a casual atmosphere; or possibly Ocean Prime, which is a small chain specializing in steak and seafood in a clubby atmosphere. Foodies will not be disappointed at either. But I'd give the edge to Pane Rustica. digyourself, the fettuccine dish you describe is my all-time favorite there, although the specials are usually tough to pass up!
Brunch is tougher. Circles is good, and one of the few places in town serving a proper brunch menu complete with mimosas, bloody marys, etc. Pinky's is my favorite place for breakfast around here, but it's kind of a dive, so if you want white tablecloths, stick with Circles. (Pane Rustica serves lunch and has terrific pastries, but apart from the occasional omelet and their frittata on the menu, does not do breakfast dishes.)
I do not recommend Oystercatchers. It's one of those expensive all you can eat buffets, a cut above, yes, but not exactly foodie-ville.
re: Miss E
When I think brunch I guess I think old school with cocktails and a buffet. Once a year or so I like to dress up and head to OC and pay too much for some interesting and some not so interesting food while I enjoy the view and the service and some mimosas.
Yes again to Pane Rustica. I keep meaning to go back after a great meal a few months ago. I've followed the place for many years, but they have really outdone themselves lately.
I recommend Mis En Place for dinner and also like Oystercatchers for brunch. Although I do love Circle's and it's still a good choice. It's a more intimate setting too, as OC is bigger & more expensive. Not a fan of Sidebern's, would go to Bern's over that.
For a pretty cool brunch, you can also head over to Ceviche, on Howard, in south Tampa. Went a few weeks ago and was really impressed. Probably the only brunch that's ever impressed me in Tampa (I come from a brunch city). Good food as well as pretty inexpensive bloody mary and mimosa specials. Along with the typical dishes, there are several good seafood dishes. I tend to skip the "brunch" places unless they actually serve bloody marys and mimosas.
Don't forget that Tampa's got the wacky liquor laws, so don't go to brunch before 11am on Sunday.
Heard mixed reviews about Ocean Prime, mostly mediocre, but I have not been yet. Never been a fan of Circles, but then again, I have not had their brunch.
As mentioned here already, the dessert room at Bern's is something to write home about. Seriously a great experience. Bern's and Sidebern's, quite overrated.
Just my 2 cents.
re: UptownKevin
Brunch at Ceviche sounds so interesting--I'm putting it on my list, thanks for the heads up. Had no idea they served it.
re: Miss E
Brunch there just started recently. There are two locations of Ceviche, but only the Tampa location serves brunch. Found out the hard way when we stopped at the St. Pete location hoping for a bloody, the morning after a wedding.
I would recommend Pelagia Trattoria in the International Mall for dinner. It's an upscale Italian seafood place. For brunch, definitely Oyster Catchers--a really impressive (albeit pricey) feast.
I am very surprised to hear all the negative commentary on Sidebern's. I have not been there in years, but even after the departure of Chef Jeanie Pierola, in the recent past, the comments have been favorable.
Ceviche has wonderful tapas, so if it is now doing brunch, I imagine that brunch would be wonderful, too.
Pane Rustica is one of the most consistently praised places on this board, although it impresses me as more of a casual lunch place than a dinner place. I haven't been to Circles in years, either, but in Circles' case it is because I found the food to be just okay. The menu reads better than it tastes.
Mise en Place is an old standard that just keeps cranking out good food, year after year. Donatello's is to Italian what Mise en Place is to continental/French, an old standard cranking out consistently excellent food.
Last, Miss E referenced "Pinky's," which, I assume is the Pink Flamingo. I've never eaten there, but I thought that I would clarify the reference. I hope that this helps.
re: gfr1111
no, pinky's is a different place.
re: gfr1111
I second the recommendation for Pelagia Trattoria... I think it's often over-looked.
re: gfr1111
No, I did mean Pinky's. It's in the old Bean There location on Bay to Bay near MacDill, across from Cappy's.
gfr, you must try Pane Rustica for dinner. They turn down the lights, the wait staff are true professionals. The atmosphere is better than during the day, and the food is truly a cut above.
re: Miss E
is there proper table service at night?
re: rhnault
Yes, very proper! You never see HS kids--professional waiters, all. Excellent service.
Thanks all for the suggestions! We started the Saturday off with lunch at Columbia in Ybor City. A little touristy, but I have to admit the food was spot on for cuban food. The cuban sandwich and mojito was awesome. We did do Sidebern's for dinner, despite the mixed reviews here. The food was very nice - sophisticated and thoughtful. Each of us had a different entry to be able to survey the scene. The duck, lamb, tuna and halibut entress were all homeruns! Wine list was extensive. It was on the pricey side, but we saw this going into it. Circle's for brunch on Sunday was standard brunch menu fare. Menu did look better than food...but wasn't awful. Can't wait to head back to Tampa to try Ceviche & Pane Rustica. Thanks to all.

The security deposit covers issues that the accidental insurance policy would not cover as the damage would be intentional, examples would include writing or painting on walls, urinating on carpet, taking doors of hinges, or excessive cleaning. In addition security deposit would be forfeited if there was evidence of smoking on property, or a pet being at the property.
Weekly rentals only in season and are Saturday to Saturday. Please check calendar for availability.
