Residents living in the Rockaways are getting around a little easier Tuesday as the new H train shuttle is now up and running.
It is the first time trains have run in the Rockaways since Sandy hit three weeks ago.
The free shuttle service will run every 15 minutes between 4 a.m. and 1 a.m. making all stops between the Far Rockaway-Mott Avenue station and the Beach-90th Street-Holland station.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority dubbed it the H train because it travels on an unused connection known as Hammels Wye.
Shuttle buses will keep running between Far Rockaway and Howard Beach.
Rockaways residents who spoke with NY1 say it's a welcome addition.
"The train is not so claustrophobic, you'll be able to go further," said one resident.
"Now that the train works everything running good, it;s way much easier," said another resident.
The MTA is working to expand the shuttle all the way to Beach 116th Street.
Service between Howard Beach and the Rockaway Peninsula will not be restored for several months.
The MTA created the H shuttle by putting 20 subway cars from Ozone Park onto flatbeds and putting them back on the rails at the Rockaway Park-Beach 116 station.
A second ferry service could be coming to Staten Island, bringing relief to commuters on the borough's southern end.
The city is accepting bids from ferry operators to run a new, temporary service from Great Kills.
Similar to this Rockaways ferry service, the express ferry would take passengers to Manhattan's Pier 11 before continuing on to 35th Street.
Though the original Staten Island Ferry is up and running, limited subway service has made it hard to get to the landing in St. George.
The Department of Transportation says it expects the new ferry to start operating by Monday.
A one-way ticket would cost $2.
The ferry would make six trips from Great Kills between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m., and six return trips between noon and 6:15 p.m.
The New York City Housing Authority announced Monday evening that heat and hot water has been restored to all public housing buildings affected by Hurricane Sandy, three weeks after the storm swept through the city.
Thousands of public housing residents remained without heat or hot water over the weekend, as the authority worked to restore heat and hot water to the remaining 4 percent of the 386 buildings affected by the storm.
NYCHA officials also say as of Tuesday that 98 percent of the 699 elevators impacted by the storm are back up, compared to 95 percent on Friday.
They also say that some residents could "occasionally experience service disruptions as generators are disconnected" and roughly 24 temporary boilers in affected buildings are being serviced.
Public housing residents who still lack heat and hot water are asked to call the NYCHA Customer Contact Center at 1-718-707-7771.
Nearly all city public housing residents who have been without electricity since the storm hit are back on the grid.
Last week, the city announced all 402 NYCHA properties that lost power during Sandy had electricity restored, but some residents are still dealing with spotty electrical service.
The housing authority said this is because there is a delay between power restoration and its actual return due to damaged circuits.
They say in some cases walls need to be demolished before everything can be fixed, slowing down the work.
Also, they say power will be intermittent while that work is ongoing.
Another group of city students displaced by Sandy returned to their regular schools Monday morning.
The Department of Education says 12 damaged schools in Brooklyn and Queens were ready for students on Monday.
Two of those schools reopened ahead of schedule.
The buildings have all had their power restored, but many will still be using temporary boilers for heat.
However, some other schools were so damaged their opening days will have to be pushed back.
City officials say that leaves 18 schools and about 8,000 students that are still being housed in different buildings.
Students at P.S. 15 in Red Hook who spoke with NY1 Monday morning said they were glad things are getting back to normal.
"I'm happy to come back to my school because I want to be in my own classroom and not mixed up together," said one student.
"I'm happy because I get to do work now and I get to play around," said another student.
DOE officials say it could take until January to get all remaining schools open.
Meantime, students impacted by the hurricane have a new way to hit the books.
The DOE is offering online courses for kids in grades 6 through 12.
Students who are eligible include those who have been displaced from their homes, or reassigned to other schools.
If they don't have access to the internet, they can take the online courses at participating libraries.
For more information, visit ILearnNYC.net.
Officials at the city Department of Buildings say they will demolish hundreds of homes damaged beyond repair by Hurricane Sandy.
About 200 homes in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island will be bulldozed in the coming months, but Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday that only buildings in danger of imminent collapse will be torn down.
He also said that DOB officials will work with homeowners to try to salvage structures or to schedule demolitions.
DOB officials say they are doing their best to track down homeowners, but there may be cases where a home will be demolished because of safety concerns before its owner can be notified.
As Governor Andrew Cuomo has called for $30 billion in federal aid to help the state's recovery, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has extended a program providing temporary housing to New Yorkers displaced by Hurricane Sandy.
The program, which offers hotel or motel rooms to FEMA applicants whose homes were damaged by the storm, is being extended to December 14.
It began November 3 and was originally scheduled to require checkouts Saturday.
For more information, call 1-866-863-8673. Phone lines are open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week.
Residents can also register for FEMA assistance online at disasterassistance.gov or by calling 1-800-621-3362.
Senator Charles Schumer said he's counting on FEMA to house New Yorkers who have been displaced as the temperatures continue to drop, but he said there have been some issues in getting temporary mobile housing units in place.
The mayor's office says about 4,000 people have signed up for the city's "Rapid Repairs" program and the first inspection teams have gone out.
The Rapid Repairs program assigns contractors to areas hit hard by the storm and those contractors are then responsible for bringing in electricians, plumbers and other subcontractors.
Homes with green stickers from the Department of Buildings, meaning the house is structurally sound, get priority.
To take part in the program, residents must have a FEMA ID number.
To get one, go to one of the city's restoration centers, visit disasterassistance.gov or call 1-800-621-3362.
The FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers are meant to be a one-stop centers of disaster relief for those hit hard by Hurricane Sandy.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Sunday that he is extending the city's gas rationing to cars based on odd or even license plate numbers through Friday.
The rationing system took effect on November 9 after Hurricane Sandy disrupted the area's fuel distribution network.
Vehicles with license plates that end in an odd number or vanity plates can only get gas at the pump on odd-numbered days, and vehicles with plates that end in an even number and zero can only get gas on even-numbered days.
Certain vehicles are exempt from the rationing, including vehicles with licenses from the Taxi and Limousine Commission, cars with medical doctor plates, commercial vehicles, emergency vehicles and buses.
According to the mayor, 30 percent of the city's gas stations are still closed.
He says as Thanksgiving week is typically one of the heaviest travel weeks of the year, keeping rationing in place will help keep lines under control.
New Jersey, which began a similar system nearly a week before the city, ended its rationing on November 13.
Nassau and Suffolk Counties, which began its rationing on the same day as New York City, lifted its odd/even restrictions at midnight Saturday.
Meanwhile, the New York State Attorney General's office is following up on hundreds of complaints about price gouging following Hurricane Sandy.
Eric Schneiderman said he has taken action against 13 gas stations that were charging too much for fuel.
But it's not just gas that's been a problem.
Schneiderman's office has been getting complaints involving generators, batteries, and even dry ice.
"New York has a price-gouging statue. It goes into effect when there's an emergency," Schneiderman said. "There is an emergency here. Our office has jurisdiction to impose significant fines and penalties."
To report price gouging, call 800-771-7755 or go to the Attorney General's website at ag.ny.gov.
Alternate-side parking resumed in most parts of the city last week, but the city Departments of Transportation and Sanitation say it is suspended indefinitely in parts of Brooklyn and Queens.
On Thursday, DOT officials announced that alternate-side parking regulations are reinstated immediately in parts of Brooklyn Community Board 6 east of Hamilton Avenue, which includes the neighborhoods of Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill, Park Slope, Gowanus and Cobble Hill.
DOT officials said Thursday that alternate-side parking regulations remain suspended indefinitely in areas of Brooklyn Community Board 6 west of and including Hamilton Avenue, which includes the neighborhood of Red Hook.
Other areas where alternate-side parking remains suspended include Brooklyn Community Board 18, which covers Canarsie, Bergen Beach, Mill Basin, Flatlands, Marine Park, Georgetown and Mill Island; Brooklyn Community Board 13, which represents Coney Island, Brighton Beach, Bensonhurst, Gravesend and Sea Gate; Brooklyn Community Board 15, which includes Sheepshead Bay, Manhattan Beach and Gerritsen Beach and Homecrest; and Queens Community Board 14, which covers the Rockaways.
Staten Island does not normally have alternate-side parking.

8:52 — Hollywood-Elsewhere.com's Jeffrey Wells issues noncommittal tweet: "Best things about Spike Lee's Red Hook Summer is the color and flavor. Chroma color, atmospheric flavor, colorful emotions, saturations." Inside the theater, the Q&A is getting intense.
Co-writer McBride is talking about the movie's point of view on the church. "I still believe in God. I still believe in Jesus," he says. "In fact, this film has helped me believe in Jesus and believe in God even more." He then acknowledges that a flashback scene of (again, SPOILER ALERT) molestation "was a scene that we all, everyone here, had some difficulty with." Peters chimes in: "It's still difficult, even to talk about now."
8:55 — A question from the audience — from Chris Rock! "This is a real question!" he says. "You did it, you spent your own money, right? What would you have done differently if you'd actually gotten a bunch of studio money… What else would've happened?" There's a pause. "Would you have blown up lots of s—?" Rock adds, cracking up the crowd.
8:58 — EW's Adam B. Vary tweets: "RED HOOK SUMMER: Bizarre, flawed, passionate, and that's just Spike Lee's rant-y post-screening Q&A, featuring a Chris Rock cameo!"
8:59 — Lee gets very loud, jabbing his finger toward Rock. "We never went to the studios with this film. I told you! I TOLD YOU! … I bought a camera and said we're gonna do this motherf—ing film ourselves." He says the plan all along was to make it independently, and bring it to Sundance. "Of course, show it to you, John," he interjected to the festival director. "So this whole thing was planned out. I didn't need a motherf—ing studio telling me something about [the neighborhood of] Red Hook! They know nothing about black people! Nothing! And they're gonna give me notes about what a 13-year-old black boy and girl do in Red Hook? F— no!"
9:00 — Lee is really steaming now. "What else can you do? We had to do it ourselves! We shot motherf—ing She's Gotta Have It for 12 days back in 1986. And I'm now waiting for Universal to do the sequel to Inside Man, my biggest hit ever! I CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE!"
His voice echoes in the hall, which has become whisper-quiet.
"We had to do it OURSELVES! So I went to my trusted friends. Bruce! And then Judith. Now, if Michael Jackson picked her for the This Is It tour, I knew I had to use her!" Lee is shouting at the top of his lungs. The audience tentatively applauds. "James McBride, who wrote Red Hook — the irony is the church we shot the film in is the church his parents built!"
Lee takes a breath. Smiles. Scans the silent crowd. "Sorry for that motherf—ing tirade."
9:01 — Festival director John Cooper gently suggests a wrap-up, since another movie will be playing in the theater shortly. Lee takes one more question. He seems to be furious. "Who is your question to!?" he barks at the person stumbling through the last Q of the Q&A. It's a rambling one, vaguely directed at the child actors.
Lee seems annoyed by the complexity of it: "Yo, he's 14 years old!" The woman in the audience continues to struggle through various observations. "Okay, you have to make it a question," Cooper says.
He picks up a tambourine from somewhere. It's apparently a prop from the movie. It's like he's preaching his own sermon.
9:02 — People begin standing up and shuffling out. Jones takes a stab at answering. "I'm just going to take what I learned and bring it to whatever else I get offered. And just show other people what I can do."
Lysaith responds like a smiling A-student: "I have learned a lot from this experience and I will take it forward in whatever experience I have next in my life."
Someone, it's difficult to tell from the recording if it's Lee or McBride, says: "I'm going to get with Jules and figure out everything he learned and then have him teach me."
With a scattered round of applause, one of the more surreal moments of Sundance 2012 came to an end. Online, however, the conversation continues …

Get TourWrist!
By SPARK Labs
TourWrist is a groundbreaking iPhone app that can take you to a faraway place, tour a house, scan photographs and even create your own tour of all the above. Sound crazy? Read on.
The Recapp Rating
5/5 Stars
|Get TourWrist! + Add to Favs
TourWrist lets you take virtual tours across the globe, navigating the settings with a gyroscope feature. It's not surprising that the travel app placed among MacWorld's iWorld 2012 Best of Show winners. This free iPhone app is completely fresh, innovative and, per this category, an incredible way to augment your reality.
Once you launch the app, get comfortable, as you'll likely be engaged for a while. The app is called TourWrist, as its main feature is that it lets users browse tours, which are 360-degree views of endless sites around the world. View vacation resorts in Playa del Carmen, real-estate properties in Europe, Norwegian cruise ships and even American Idol and radio show host Ryan Seacrest in the studio interviewing Will.i.am.
To browse tours, you can choose between categories (from retail and restaurants to vehicles and arts/entertainment), featured tours, new additions, my panos (a "pano" is a tour you create—more on that later), panos you love or a saved panos. Once you've chosen a category, there are hundreds of scenarios to choose from, meaning that TourWrist continues to expand upon the options and filters. But when you get to your desired destination, you'll be asked to turn your phone sideways and get ready to take a tour.
Turning your phone sideways, a panaromic view of whatever it is you have selected comes up. Tilt your phone from side to side and the image moves left and right. Tilt up and you'll get a look of the top of the image. You can view the scenes by using your finger or the gyroscope, letting your own personal orientation lead you around the scene. You can also gather info, links, share on Facebook or Twitter, "love," or go to the next tour. From the best beaches in Sri Lanka to living rooms in Scottsdale, from cars in Japan to a photographer in New York City, there's more than you can ever actually tour on TourWrist.
Now, the panos thing we were talking about: You can create your own tours once you create an account and sign in. You're also going to need to sign in if you choose to share or love a panos as well, and this is where you'll spend the most time. You'll start taking photos of your bathroom just to post a tour. Trust us, it's tons of fun.
TourWrist contains visual information galore, it unfolds before your eyes as it would if you were standing there, and you can create the setups yourself. Granted, it's happening through your cell-phone screen, but there's nothing else out there even close to this. Plus, it's free.

The City of Round Rock's Parks and Recreation Department will hold a FREE "Touch a Truck" event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 3 at Old Settlers Park (corner of Red Bud Lane and TC Oatts Lane) for kids of all ages! Name a child who wouldn't love to climb aboard a fire truck, helicopter, big rig or bulldozer! Touch a Truck provides a unique opportunity for children to explore vehicles of all types - public service, emergency, utility, construction, transportation, delivery and just plain cool - all in one place. Those young and young at heart will be allowed to touch, climb on and ask questions about their favorite trucks in a safe, supervised environment. Accompanying personnel will teach the children about the equipment displayed and how these machines help us and our community. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. There will be a "no horn hour" for those with sensitive ears or who do not respond well to loud noises from 1 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Bring out the entire family to enjoy sitting in these trucks and learning about what they do, how they work, and how they benefit our community. Along with all of the vehicles, there will also be a Kids Fun Zone with various activities. Food and beverage vendors will also be onsite. The event is FREE, but guests are encouraged to bring a canned item food donation to the Round Rock Serving Center.

Canada's choice
Michaėlle Jean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaėlle Jean, CC, CMM, COM, CD (born September 6, 1957 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti) is the current Governor General of Canada.
She sounds quite a woman! I only learnt of her appointment through Blogs and I thought it interesting, we don't hear much about Canada over here. Good news is that she renounced her French Citizenship to take the job!

Cooperatives Get Wind Power
by Luke Jones
Posted 4/2/2012 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
While talking about the role of cooperatives in Arkansas (see story here), Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corp. of Little Rock told Whispers that it would soon add wind power to its diverse energy portfolio.
AECC generates and supplies energy for the state's 17 regional cooperatives, using coal, gas and hydropower as fuel.
The power will result from an expansion to the 66,000-acre, 419-megawatt Flat Ridge 2 Wind Farm near Wichita, Kan., which is owned by BP of Houston and Sempra U.S. Gas & Power of San Diego.
AECC will enter into a partnership with BP to use a 51-megawatt expansion to the farm.
"The wind farm is under construction," said Doug White, corporate spokesman for AECC. "We'll be getting capacity from that wind farm in the summer. The partnership is formalized, but we're not sure when that power is getting to us."
"Once the facility is constructed, the power - when generated - will benefit electric cooperative members across Arkansas," said Rob Roedel, communications manager at AECC. "If the power is not needed at that time, then it will be distributed to areas that have demand."

From a series by the National Post on "scientists who buck the conventional wisdom on climate science" comes this article on a leading French scientist, Claude Allegre:
His break with what he now sees as environmental cant on climate change came in September, in an article entitled "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" in l' Express, the French weekly. His article cited evidence that Antarctica is gaining ice and that Kilimanjaro's retreating snow caps, among other global-warming concerns, come from natural causes. "The cause of this climate change is unknown," he states matter of factly. There is no basis for saying, as most do, that the "science is settled."
Dr. Allegre's "denial" is particularly notable in light of being a card-carrying member of both the French political establishment and the environmental movement.

GSA spending scandal puts agency whistleblowers in spotlight
Not all claims of agency wrongdoing wind up with the agency IG's office. Some employees turn to the Office of Special Counsel, the independent investigative agency that acts under the authority of the Whistleblower Protection Act. OSC's relatively-low profile has grown since Carolyn Lerner, the head of the office, joined the agency about nine months ago.
OSC initiative zeroes in on worst vet discriminator - the government
The Office of Personnel Management recently reminded federal agencies that the White House has "zero tolerance" for discriminating against veterans in hiring and promotions. But the federal government is still one of the biggest offenders. Patrick Boulay from the Office of Special Counsel told the Federal Drive about a new pilot program aimed at streamlining the complaint process for veterans in the federal government.
Feds need to think twice about political activity
Ana Galindo-Marrone, chief of the Hatch Act unit of the Office of Special Counsel, spoke to In Depth with Francis Rose about which common political activities could get federal employees in hot water.
Lawmakers, US agency favor Hatch Act changes
Jon Greiner's election to the Utah Senate caused his firing as Ogden police chief. Philadelphia transit cop Matthew Arlen was barred from a local school board race in Pennsylvania. And New York state port official Terrence Hurley was knocked out of a county race.
MSPB, OSC already feeling brunt of budget reductions
Two small agencies with large responsibilities toward the federal workforce say they've trimmed all the fat from their budgets and will need more resources to keep up with increasing caseloads. Merit Systems Protection Board Chairman Susan Tsui Grundmann told a Senate subcommittee she worries about impending staff retirements as well. The Office of Special Counsel is also feeling pressure to do more with less.
Analysis: Hatch Act modernization good for feds, better for locals
Debra Roth, a partner at Shaw, Bransford and Roth, said the Hatch Act Modernization of 2012 would widen the array of penalties for violating the law that governs political activities by government workers.
Lawmakers unveil Hatch Act update
A group of lawmakers has proposed an update to the law governing federal employees' political activity that would exempt some state and local employees and allow for a range of penalties other than automatic suspension for minor violations.
Grassley, Issa call for review of federal policies for using personal email
In a letter to Office of Management and Budget Acting Director Jeff Zients, the two lawmakers say the Food and Drug Administration lawsuit raises broader questions about how other agencies monitor employee use of personal email. The House and Senate members want OMB to conduct a governmentwide analysis of these policies.
What legal pitfalls await feds in 2012?
Bill Bransford, a partner at Shaw, Bransford and Roth, offers some insight to federal employees on upcoming whistleblower legislation and the possible ramifications of on-the-job political activities.
Report: Remains of 274 troops dumped in landfill
A published report says the remains of many more troops have been dumped in a Virginia landfill than the military originally acknowledged.
Report: Federal whistleblowers don't sense letup in agency retaliation
Federal employees increasingly perceive less agency wrongdoing but that doesn't necessarily mean the threat of retaliation for reporting such misconduct has similarly decreased, according to a new Merit System Protection Board report.
Two whistleblowers get 45-day stay after OSC intervention
After the Office of Special Counsel intervened on their behalf, two federal whistleblowers won a 45-day stay on personnel actions taken against them.
Office of Special Counsel wants Hatch Act overhaul
The Office of the Special Counsel wants to see the law governing the political activity of federal employees updated. Carolyn Lerner, head of the OSC, told Federal News Radio the law is outdated and has led to unintended consequences. The act was created in 1939 when "typewriters were about the most advanced means of communication," Lerner said.
OSC comes to defense of two federal whistleblowers
The Office of Special Counsel is seeking to halt adverse personnel actions against two federal whistleblowers. Both employees were placed on unpaid administrative leave after they blew the whistle at their agencies.
Senate committee approves OMB, OSC nominees
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee today approved the nomination of Heather Higginbottom to be deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget.
OSC head nominee promises whistleblower support
Carolyn Lerner plans to improve the Office of Special Counsel if confirmed following the agencies two-year span without a Senate confirmed leader.
Scott Bloch fights to avoid prison time
The former government protector of whistle-blowers who admitted to criminally withholding information from Congress asked a judge to withdraw his guilty plea to avoid mandatory jail time. Attorney Debra Roth explains what's going on.
Part 3: SBA whistleblowers weigh resolution options
In part 3 of Federal News Radio's exclusive investigative series "Discouraged and Disrespected at SBA," Karla Saunders weighs her options to find resolution in her three-year battle against alleged retaliation. Saunders and three other agency employees say they want to return to their original jobs and restore their reputations. SBA officials say the agency is focusing on strengthening management and oversight.
Part 2: SBA employees allege fake positions created
In part 2 of the special investigative series, Diane Sellers said she faced another round of retaliation just this past January when management moved her into a new position without cause. Sellers and two other career agency officials say they are facing a hostile work environment because they blew the whistle on potential misconduct. SBA says there is no evidence of HR violations or creating phony positions.
OSC to probe veteran discrimination cases
Congress expanded the Office of Special Counsel's role to handle half of all claims by veterans under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act. Previously, OSC just brought claims before the MSPB, but now it will handle them from beginning to end.

RV.Net Blog Admin
Lately on our Facebook page (http://Facebook.com/LongLongHoneymoon) we've been talking about RV storage space. We love our 25-foot Airstream Classic travel trailer. It's comfortable, cozy, and has been a wonderful home on wheels to us in a variety of adventures. But one thing it's not… is spacious. We don't have a lot of storage space.
Forget about measuring storage space in terms of square feet. We need to talk about square inches. Maybe even millimeters (if you can stomach the metric system). Every little bit matters.
What's the secret to making the most of the space on hand? This is a pressing topic for most RV travelers, especially those who go on extended long term trips.
First of all, it's important to only pack items that you need and/or will really use. This is harder than it sounds. In fact, this is one topic that has (gasp!) created some husband/wife relationship friction in our RV travels. We've made some memorable mistakes in the packing department. I dare not go into too much detail here, else our website may be renamed Short Short Marriage.
Suffice to say that we've both been guilty of bringing items on our trips that ended up being unnecessary. Some large, some small. Even after years of taking our Airstream on long term journeys, we still make mistakes.
The problem is that it's hard to determine exactly what is necessary until you get out there. Every trip takes on a life of its own. Sometimes we do a lot of biking; sometimes the bikes go unused. Sometimes I use certain camera gadgets and tripods; on other trips, they spend most of their time stuffed under the bed. If you're camping at a local park, it's not a big deal. If you're camping 2000 miles from home, it can be a pain.
The "use it or lose it" analysis must apply to every item on board, from food, to clothing, to electronics, to toiletries. Don't really need and/or intend to use it? You probably should leave it at home. At the very least, you don't need to bring many duplicates of items. It's all too easy to overpack.
The problem of overpacking is not simply one of added weight (more weight on board the RV is bad), but also added clutter. Once you exhaust the available storage space, items end up lying on the couch, stuffed behind the couch, scattered on the and floor, and wherever else they may find a home. It makes for a less pleasant living environment.
What about closet space? We have two closets, and they range in size from small to smaller. It stands to reason that we can't pack too much inside those closets. We can either bring less stuff, or bring smaller stuff. If we find a way to gain any space advantage in the packing process, we celebrate.
Case-in-point: we now have our Airstream closets stocked with ultra thin "no slip" velvet clothes hangers. These fall into the "bring smaller stuff" category.
At first glance, it may seem a little silly to worry about the size of clothes hangers. But we are talking about an RV here, and every millimeter matters. The thin flat hangers are a nice upgrade over the usual thick round plastic hangers that are now in fashion.
These hangers serve two purposes. First of all, they are indeed ultra thin – like 1/5 of an inch thin. So you can stack 40 or 50 of them together into a small space. It's a modest but significant improvement.
Second, these hangers are "no slip" because they're covered in some sort of grippy pseudo velvet. This is a wonderful feature for an RV, because clothes typically get bounced and jostled when the RV is traveling down the highway. If hangers are not "no slip," inevitably some of the clothes slip off the hanger and onto the floor. It's a bummer when all of your clean clothes are lying amidst your shoes at the bottom of your closet.
There's no magic solution to the RV storage space quandary. It's an ongoing battle against weight and clutter that we all must fight. If you can find a product like "ultra thin no slip clothes hangers" that gives you a space advantage, it makes sense to utilize it.
Now, if only they made ultra thin bicycles and barbecue grills…
RV Rallies can be Enhanced by Facebook
October 12, 2010 by Chris Guld · 17 Comments
We presented our computer seminars at 8 different rallies this summer, and at each one, we asked for a show of hands of how many people were using Facebook. We were astonished to see a consistent majority of hands go up.
At the last rally, The Escapade, we noticed a lot of Facebook activity amongst our own friends who were there. They arranged happy hours and meetings during the rally, and even some get-togethers after the rally was over. They were able to do this because a large group of them were all friends on Facebook.
From Bookdocking to Bugging Out, the SRMR covers it all
April 13, 2010 by Brian Brawdy · 3 Comments
by Brian Brawdy
I like to think of it as my "Just in Case Place." Balanced between wanting to boondock or needing to bug out, the SRMR (Self Reliant Mobile Residence) has multiple functions.
From the moment I began RVing, I realized the duel purposes of recreating on the one hand and evacuating on the other. There is no better way to bolt to somewhere or from something. Family vacationing emergency vacating, your home away from home can be a perfect base camp, wherever you find yourself. In a few short weeks I will be launching 3 videos here on RV.net highlighting the engineering and building of the SRMR. Read more
Do you Facebook?
November 30, 2009 by Chris Guld · 68 Comments
You've heard of the snowball effect right? Well, when it comes to Facebook, we have an avalanche. Facebook started in 2005, but it hit a point somewhere in 2008 I think, where the avalanche started consuming even the most casual Internet user.
What is Twitter?
May 10, 2009 by Chris Guld · 492 Comments
by Geeks on Tour: This isn't exactly RV related, but Twitter can be used to keep up with the RVing community. So many people ask me about Twitter, it must be time for an article. I like to explain by example, so let me show you how I'm using Twitter. I just visited my Twitter home page, and this is what I saw:
I feel like I'm walking into a room where there are lots of people milling about and talking. The cool part is that these are all people I've chosen for one reason or another, it's my special party room. And they aren't too talkative, just a few words about what they're doing or what they're thinking. In less than a minute of glancing at my Twitter home page, I'm up-to-date with all the people I'm 'Following.'
Let me introduce you around. The first person you see at my party represents Public Earth. These are people we met at The Rally. They are launching a special website about places. You can find and view these places using a Google Maps interface, store your places in your Public Earth account, and download them to your dashtop GPS for directions. I think it's something I'm really going to like – and I won't forget about it because I'm following their 'tweets.'
Next comes GypsyJournal – this is Nick Russell, a fulltime RVer, and a friend. I usually follow his blog, but that takes a lot more time than just seeing him at my Twitter party! Because of this post, I see that he's getting ready to go to the Escapades – and we'll see him there.
Now you see Charlene Li – I've never met Charlene. She is an author and a speaker; a recognized expert in the new Social Media and what it all means. I value her opinion. She liked the new Star Trek … I'll bet I will too.
EMasie is Elliott Masie. I know Elliott from back in the 80s when he produced the Computer Training and Support Conferences and I was a speaker there. He is a top thinker and trendsetter in the education field and I love being able to see what he's up to in such an easy, quick, unobtrusive way. I'm sure I'll enjoy his tweets from India.
If you want to start your own party, just go to Twitter.com and sign up for a free account. Then you can find other people who are on Twitter and click the 'Follow' button below their names, voila! instant party. If you also start writing some of your own tweets, you may find that some people start following you. If you have a business, this can be used for marketing. My latest tweet was about how I was looking for membership site software for my latest website … within minutes, I received an email that a membership site software business was now 'following' me on Twitter. That means that I'll show up in their party room, but they're not in mine unless I follow them.
Do you need to be on Twitter? Of course not. But, if you're already spending time online visiting people's blogs and otherwise browsing – you may actually find that Twitter saves you time. The RV.net blog can be followed on Twitter – see the link at the top, far right. Once you're looking at RV.net's Twitter page, you may want to check out who's at their party! See who RV.net is following, and you may want to follow them too. It is so quick and easy to fill your party room with people you enjoy.
So, what's the difference between Facebook and Twitter? Facebook is a lot more complex. I haven't figured out Facebook yet. Twitter is nice and simple – at least so far! It allows you to write short snippets (tweets) about what you're doing or thinking, it allows others to follow your tweets, and you to follow others.
If you're interested in learning more about the phenomenon that Twitter is becoming, you can watch this video by the founder of Twitter, Evan Williams.

LO is 11 weeks old and I am considering switching to cloth. I have some fear about the mess and just feeling a little overwhelmed with all the info and options out there. Also, we are going on vacation in July and will be flying then spending a week at the beach. I'm wondering if I should wait to switch when we get back from vacation or switch now and travel with sposies or if travel and beach are feasible with cloth. I would appreciate hearing anyone's experience with this! Thanks
Maybe you should look at doing a CD trial. Around 12 lbs a lot of babies can start to wear one-size diapers, so you might have time to do a trial between now and your vacation. We did our trial with Jillian's Drawers and we really liked it because it gave us a chance to try some different kinds of diapers, and you can return whatever diapers don't work for you, which made us really comfortable with doing the trial.
As for CD on vacation, depends on how long your flight is and whether you have access to W/D once you get there.
As for CD on vacation, depends on how long your flight is and whether you have access to W/D once you get there.
DH and I plan to CD, but the CD-while-travelling is one thing we're still hung up on. We know we'll have 2 weeks of vacation with an under 3mo old, and then 2 months with a 7-8mo old, and the latter with around 16 hours of travel (flying India-Canada, and then back). We may be forced to 'sposies simply for the lack of W/D access and length of travel, and then CD when we're settled for the 2 months.

|I've never had roast duck before, but I know that this tastes nothing like it, because it tastes like gluten. (Which it is.) It's a bit hard to describe the taste of gluten. The best I can do is say that it's savory and has a chewy sort of rubbery texture. It makes a great meat alternative in recipes. Notice I say "alternative" and not "substitute". If you buy this expecting it to taste just like meat, than you will be disappointed. It does taste delicious, though.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Joe Cannon made three outstanding second-half saves and the unbeaten Vancouver Whitecaps played a scoreless draw against D.C. United on Saturday night.
Cannon secured Vancouver's third consecutive shutout by foiling Canadian star Dwayne De Rosario in the 84th minute, making a leg save on a shot from close range.
Cannon has recorded two of the three shutouts. He pulled himself out of last weekend's 1-0 win at Chivas USA because of a quadriceps injury, and the victory went to backup Brad Knighton.
D.C. went with backup Joe Willis because No. 1 Bill Hamid is playing for the U.S. under-23 team at the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament. United defender Perry Kitchen also is on the American team, while gifted winger Andy Najar is with Honduras in the same competition.

Rhino Skin
15 comments:
This is fantastic, Jim. So many truths. Thanks for the inspiration. Sometimes it's damned heavy to wear that rhino skin, but writing makes the burden much easier. Have a great Sunday. Me? I'm "biking."ReplyDelete
Solid advice, Jim. A good way to look at a bad review or a rejection is that it's just one person's opinion, and it's not personal.ReplyDelete
The energy of that pep talk blew right through my computer screen.ReplyDelete
Sound words and a reminder I needed (and will probably be coming back to read again!)
As the saying goes, "Thanks--I needed that." I've learned to ignore both the good reviews and the bad, figuring that the proof of the pudding is in the eating...or, in this case, the sales figures.ReplyDelete
Love the Tony Hillerman example. I think of it when I think of what one editor said about my first novel of medical suspense: "Good writing, and if you take away all the medical stuff, I'd be glad to read it again." Uh, that's what it's about. Sheesh.
Appreciate the advice and encouragement.
Was reminded of a quote from writer Ron Goulart: "Never assume that a rejection of your stuff is also a rejection of you as a person. Unless it's accompanied by a punch in the nose."ReplyDelete
Absolutely, write! Don't let 'em get you down. Now I'll spend the rest of this rainy Sunday reading "Writing Fiction for All You're Worth." I recommend it. It's a pretty good book.ReplyDelete
"Every hour you spend writing is an hour spent not fretting about your writing."ReplyDelete
I love that. That's good advice for all writing issues, not just the sting of rejection.
I was wondering...I've been all over my copy of PLOT AND STRUCTURE and still can't seem to figure out how to tie an episodic novel together. It's road trip book, so there's an overt structure, with the doorways you talked about and lots of death overhanging (it's set during the zombie apocalypse), so the basic structure is there.
But how do you tie in all the little stuff that happens along the way? People the main character meets, little issues she has to resolve, side tangents? The only book I can think of that does something similiar is AMERICAN GODS by Neil Gaiman, and frankly, that's an intimidating place to start.
How did Gaiman manage to veer off from the main plot to talk about this place and that, and yet it not feel like we're lost or rambling? I just bought a copy and I plan to go through it, like you suggested, but I am not sure exactly what I am looking for either.
Thanks for reading my question. If it's in PLOT AND STRUCTURE and I just missed it, please just point me in the right direction. I know you're busy working on your own stuff too! :D
Also, do you have your 2013 appearances scheduled yet? I know it's still early, but I would really love to try and schedule coming to one of your workshops next year.
Elizabeth, that's quite a question! I'm not sure how well I can answer, because so much depends on what your goal is. I would veer away from tangents for tangents sake. You can certainly do scenes or a series of scenes that become like mini-subplots. I would make sure that the subplots touch, in some way, the main plot, either physically or thematically.ReplyDelete
And then think of each subplot as having a mini-structure: a viewpoint character, an objective, obstacles, and an outcome.
My chapter on "Complex Plots" might be of service.
As for 2013, I have not made up my full schedule yet. Keep an eye on my website and be sure to sign up for my e-letter.
Thanks for asking.
Thank you so much, that's perfect!ReplyDelete
I already have "connect to main plot via theme or events" on a post it note next to my computer, but your suggestion will help me keep them on track. I LOVE the idea of thinking of them as mini subplots with their own structure.
I'm off to maul the chapter on Complex Plots now. Thanks again!
*stands and cheers*ReplyDelete
This was an amazing post. Thanks for the reminders. My favorite tip is to keep on writing. When I'm obsessed with a new project, I forget about the one on sub :)
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Let's try that again.ReplyDelete
Yay! My copy of Conflict & Suspense should be waiting for me tomorrow. I had ordered it with a pre-order book to save shipping and it sat in the queue for almost two months. I need a kick in the pants inspiration!
Great post. Speaking on the med thriller subject, I just reviewed a tidy med thriller written by a doctor that hangs out here at times. When I review, I always read the low scores to see if I agree if I didn't like it or can rebut it if I did like it.
His lowest score said the book (a three continent race against a genetically engineered slatewiper) had authenticity problems because an ER doc ordered whole blood rather than plasma for a shooting victim.
Shake it off, do not engage the reviewer, and move on down the road.
Thanks for the Sunday inspiration.
When I get a bad review I simply scoff back at them, in French. Because cursing someone in French sounds multiples of scoffery worse.ReplyDelete
"Je pisse dans le pot de porridge de votre mère de l'espérance de pleine que vous allez le manger et goûter à la gauche sur le vin bourgogne bien, j'ai bu la nuit dernière, vous enveloppe green slime manger incrustée de homard comme la créature dont la mère était un amoureux de chiens, mais pas dans un de façon naturelle."
Translation: I Piss in your mother's pot of porridge in full expectancy that you will eat it and taste the left over fine burgundy wine I drank last night, you green slime eating shell encrusted lobster-like creature whose mother was a lover of dogs but not in a natural way.
I always feel better after that.
Basil - I am SO stealing that.ReplyDelete
Ahem. I know now where the phrase "Pardon my French" comes from.ReplyDelete

In November 2012 the EU introduced new labelling for tyres.
The new standard gives motorists a way of comparing new tyres on their fuel efficiency, wet grip and noise. Previously it had been hard for buyers to tell if one tyre was better than another. The aim of the new standard was to gives better consumer information and, in the longer term, provide manufacturers with an incentive to produce better products.
Recently I went into my local HiQ tyre dealer. There were twelve tyres displayed and only one had a visible label showing its EU ratings. The other eleven had a label showing HiQ's own rating system. I was told that it was different from the EU standard.
I am not going to speculate why HiQ failed to display the EU standard information for all their tyres, but I will not be going to them next time I need a new tyre.
I would also suggest that the legislation needs to be changed to make it an offence not to clearly display the EU standard ratings for all the tires that are being offered for sale.
