Wine aficionados around the world praise Missouri's vineyards and wineries; not only are the wines delicious, they are produced in some of the most picturesque areas of our state. When you visit a Missouri winery, you get more than just an excellent glass of vino – you get a memorable experience.
Anticipate a grand time at Seven Springs Winery, in Linn Creek. The winery is situated on 160 well-kept acres, surrounded by verdant Missouri hills. Pair your wine, sangria and microbrew with a tasty food selection. Because it is within 10 minutes of Camdenton and Osage Beach, Seven Springs is a perfect winery to visit during a Lake of the Ozarks getaway. To help you safely enjoy your visit, the winery runs a shuttle to and from lake-area locations (for a small fee).
Want to pack your own picnic? You can do just that; then take it to the Les Bourgeois Winery A-Frame, situated atop towering Missouri River bluffs. From the picnic tables scattered around the terraced landscape, you'll be dazzled by the views at this popular Rocheport winery – a favorite among college students and wedding parties. No picnic? No problem. The A-Frame offers a selection of snacks, plus meat and cheese trays; and right next door, you'll find the Blufftop Bistro, a splendid restaurant with a full menu of inventive, irresistible food offerings.
The Eagle's Nest Winery, in Louisiana, offers its guests excellent bistro fare on the enclosed outdoor patio. Choose from Eagle's Nest wines, other Missouri wines, as well as selections from California, Australia and France. Commemorate your time at Eagle's Nest – or surprise someone special – by creating a custom gift basket. Bed and Breakfast Inn and a Bakery on-site.
Fans of fruit wines are absolutely enchanted by OOVVDA Winery, where the wines are crafted by third- and fourth-generation winemakers. At this Springfield area winery, savor wines made from red and black raspberries, cherries, blueberries, blackberries and red plums, in addition to such native Missouri grape varietals as Norton and Vignoles.
In Hillsboro, a visit to Villa Antonio Winery conjures up the magic of an Italian vineyard – without the pricey transatlantic airplane ticket. Take part in a wine tasting, enjoy lunch, and hear live music every weekend (music, May thru mid-November.).
Live tunes pair well with the wine at Fahrmeier Family Vineyards, eight miles southwest of Lexington. In addition to great vino and lively music, there is plenty of scenery to admire. Fahrmeier's tasting room occupies a 1930s barn overlooking the family farm, making this outing as scenic as it is fun.

Citizen Science: Great Backyard Bird Count
Want to help bird conservation?
This weekend, just grab a notebook, a field guide and binoculars if you have them. Head out to a local park or look outside your window. And start counting birds.
The Great Backyard Bird Count, held from February 15-18, is one of the largest citizen science initiatives in the United States (and this year, it's gone global).
A joint project of the National Audubon Society and Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) invites everyone from new bird watchers to serious life listers to submit the birds they've spotted.
Participants can record sightings for as few as 15 minutes.
Just record the birds you spot, follow the GBBC's bird counting rules and submit your list.
Your own bird sightings may not seem that important to science. But taken as a whole, the GBBC represents a substantial data set: Last year, more than 100,000 checklists were submitted, recording more than 17.4 million individual bird observations.
How do these observations help scientists?

Wedding: 5/5/2012
Harry Wertz from Visual Image Photography did an excellent job. He was very open about when to do the formal pictures. He had excellent ideas for the photos. He worked really well with our videographer, Jack O'Laughlin of Video Vignette. They have worked together for years so they can read each other very well. We really forgot they were there once everything got rolling. Then when we were working together, they made us feel very special. We got married at the Cylburn Arboretum in Baltimore. We had a horse and carriage take us from the garden near the Cylburn Mansion (ceremony) to the Vollmer Center (reception). Jack and Harry followed the horse and carriage around taking pictures and shooting video. We had no idea they were doing that. We forgot they were at the reception too sometimes. They were there but they were never intrusive. They totally worked with us from beginning to end. Their prices were very reasonable for what we got. They are true professionals. We loved working with them.

He called my husband instead of me to not so stress me out. I can not thank Harry enough for all that he did.

Man arrested for DWI, fleeing police after crash
Canandaigua, N.Y. -- An Ontario County man faces several charges after fleeing police following a crash Thursday afternoon.
Sheriffs deputies said Anthony Legrette, 44, of Canandaigua, was driving on State Route 21 in Hopewell when his car crashed into a vehicle driven by John Van Epps, 47, of Clifton Springs, who was trying to pass Legrette.
Police said Legrette left the scene of the crash. They attempted to pull him over on Chapel Street in Canandaigua, but he led them on a brief chase before pulling into the Granger Homestead, getting out of his car and trying to run away.
Legrette stopped running moments later and was arrested. Police said he refused a breath test.
Police charged Legrette with unlawful fleeing of a police officer, leaving the scene of a property damage crash, reckless driving, and driving while intoxicated. He was arraigned in City of Canandaigua Court and taken to the Ontario County Jail.

According to a recent study conducted by a team of scientists from the U.S. Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Research Station, UC Davis, UC Berkeley, and the Integral Ecology Research Center, the use of rat poison on illegal marijuana grow sites is killing fishers, a rare carnivore in the southern Sierra Nevada.
A total of 58 fisher carcasses were analyzed in the study, 79 percent of which yielded traces of rat poison in the tissues. The full results of the study, "Anticoagulant Rodenticides on our Public and Community Lands: Spatial Distribution of Exposure and Poisoning of a Rare Forest Carnivore," can be found at the PLOS ONE web site.

Okay, let's talk "Boyfriend". The scant few seconds we hear have us thinking it sounds like some old-school, early '90s R&B jam. No surprise there, though, since JB grew up idolizing Boyz II Men. (But actually, the short clip smacks more of Hi-Five or Color Me Badd.)
If those 15 seconds of "Boyfriend" weren't enough for you, how about the 10-second intro?
We're definitely feeling the Hi-Five vibe, now. Check the '90s boy band's New Jack jam "The Kissing Game (I Like The Way)" — particularly the intro. (Brilliant production by Teddy Riley, by the way!)
Thank you, Bieber — we'll now be hitting repeat on the above video all day long because of you.

Similar arguments can be made for changes in biodiversity, soil thickness and fertility, and other global changes (e.g., the decline of ocean fisheries, coastal "dead zones", ocean acidification). Climate change exacerbates these issues, but many of them would be creating enormous problems even in the absence of climate change; and in some cases these other global change issues can have more near-term (and perhaps more profound) impacts on human populations than climate change. The global implications of these other global change phenomena thus deserve study as part of a comprehensive global change research program.
At the same time, it should be recognized that the international research community is moving towards a significantly more expansive framework that looks at global environmental change in the context of global sustainability challenges – that considers, for instance, the inexorable interconnections among climate change, energy security, population growth, and economic and social developments; and that seeks to understand the potential for, and the root causes of, exceeding the boundaries for a sustainable planetary system. (See, for instance, the Earth System Sustainability Initiative, the Belmont Forum, and the "Planet Under Pressure" conference.3)
Some would argue that embracing this substantially expanded research agenda is an appropriate, indeed an essential, next step for the Program in the decade ahead. Such an expansion, however, would require an extensive rethinking of the USGCRP from the ground up, would mean setting priorities among very different areas of science, and would further complicate the existing challenge of setting manageable boundaries on the definition and scope of a "global change" research program.
In light of these considerations, and of the real-world budget constraints facing the Program, the Committee suggests that focusing the near-term USGCRP goals on "climate and related changes" seems like a step in the right direction. It may not be realistic to implement a further broadening of the Program at this time, but the Strategic Plan should at least acknowledge that the long term mission of the Program embraces global change broadly, as defined by the GCRA. And we encourage the Program to devote serious consideration to better defining what sorts of issues "global change" research will and will not encompass. Table 1 in the Strategic Plan serves as a useful initial attempt in this regard, although it contains some items that are unclear or questionable as part of a global change agenda.
In the Committee's judgment, the plan for Objective 1.3 (Integrated Observations) is much clearer in terms of the implied definition of global change. Many of the observations to be supported under that Objective will enable improved analysis and modeling of a variety of different types of global change (not only those associated with climate change), and thus will inherently be contributing to understanding of global change in the broader (GCRA-defined) sense of the term.
Many of the federal research activities that contribute to understanding the state of water resources, soil fertility, ecosystems, and other globally changing environmental systems (not to mention the many research activities that look at large-scale socio-economic changes) are

Day 4, Puerto Rico!
I was so excited to see just this teensy little bit of Puerto Rico. I'd never thought all that much about the place, other than watching West Side Story, but once we chose this itinerary I grew very happy to know we would be going here.
While planning, it was so hard to decide what to do; I knew we couldn't see the old city, the new city, AND the rainforest. We had to make a decision. There was some nervousness about creepy crawlies in the rainforest (and our tablemates did do the el Yunque excursion and did verify that that was a bonafide worry) so we chose city. And since walking around the Old city was something much discussed, we decided to do that.
So here are the Compasses for Day 4.
As you can see, kids can stay onboard and get lunch with the group.
Even the morning of the port they still had some excursions left, and were offering special deals like that 20% off kids tickets.
I think you can see how I felt about the idea of the $99 spa package. Alas I couldn't convince myself to do any spa stuff. Next time!
Dang, I should have done that 5 beer special, then just take the beers back to the room! Although that would have been more drinks than I had the whole trip.
And maybe next time I'll send Robert in for the $1 stud poker. Have him make a few bucks. Given my sensitivity to smoke, though, we would have to bag up his clothes as soon as he got back. Darn my lungs.
$30 wash and fold special! Nice!
Good info there in the "important things to know today" section!
Robert really wanted me to go to the trivia thing at Schooner Bar. I don't think we tried it that day, but on another we did. And I had to leave almost immediately. The smoke filtering into the Schooner Bar from the Casino was just overwhelming for me. Robert couldn't even smell it. Oh well.
I just noticed there....Afternoon Tea? FUN! How did I miss that?
These scans might be of interest to the shoppers. This is what we got for San Juan. Oh man you can barely read it. Sorry.
With this map I got a second copy and marked off ON the map where things were.

Day 4, San Juan!
You come into San Juan from the north. Along with it being a walled city, because ships have to come in between El Morro and Fortin San Juan de la Cruz.
This is from disneycruiselineblog. I didn't want to take their bandwidth, so I put it in my photobucket. But it IS, indeed, THEIR image. (well, maybe the Bacardi tour's image that they are using)
Here's a semi-bad picture of the sign talking about this.
But I learned that stuff later.
And none of it really sunk in as I got up, dressed, and went onto the balcony to see this.
Those pictures are of El Morro.
As we continued into the harbor, we saw more of the wall.
OH I was in LOVE. Without even stepping foot on the ground.
And here is the real-life image of the entrance to the harbor.
Off to the west of the harbor.
More city. So gorgeous.
I couldn't wait to get there!

more Day 4
We were up on the earlier side, but we still were moving slowly. Went to have breakfast.
Here's a random picture taken while sitting down towards the bow end of the dining room, looking back at the buffet area.
And this was the nicer view.
More art as we made our way off the ship.
I had to finish my latte entirely before getting off the ship, but they were totally cool with it. Bottles of water were fine (we brought a few) but not an espresso drink.
Looking back at the ship.
Looking forward.
I had ordered a tourist map from somewhere and I had that in hand. I had also read over the basic directions and really studied things (and I went over it with the family) many times. We had a problem first time in Nassau where I hadn't gone over it with the guys, or let them know really where we were going, and I didn't have a great map. We got as far as Elizabeth Street (or we think it was) and turned back.
But this was better. Get off the ship, turn left. Walk along. Soon enough you will see either a CVS or Walgreens.
We really should have stopped in there and gotten MORE water. You see, it was hot. Hot hot hot! I was dressed to reflect the light (you'll see later), DS was dressed to wick away any sweat, but DH was dressed in black. Yikes.
As you continue along, you make your way to Paseo de la Princesa.
Ah, there's the Paseo...
And here's the difference a bit of zoom can make. I had seen this statuary in pictures, but I didn't realize there would be a gate.
With a little bit of zoom, I saw how they got those pictures.
WOW look at that wall. You truly got a sense of impossibility as you walked along, a sense of "that would just be way too hard to try to scale".
I just looked up this place. Cafe La Princesa. Couple things on there I want to try next time we're in PR. Mofongo stuffed with veggies? Yes, thank you.
The grey is so pretty, the white is so nice, the whole building is just so pleasant looking!
I doubt you'll be able to read this, but...
The above is all about this set of statues, called Raises.
Here's the view of the water from that area.

We're barely off the ship, Day 4, San Juan!
So we're continuing along *outside* the city wall.
This is art, but it looks like something that has been there since forever.
I'm talking the spikes, not the tree.
The spikes are to our right.
This is to our left.
And this is behind us.
And these were my guys in front of me.
Wall with child.
Wall with invading marauder.
How do people live with such loveliness?
Augh, it's just like a postcard! It's so fluffy! (Despicable Me moment there)
Nature is amazing!
We were approaching a gate.
Make that...a gato. Heh heh, see what I did there?
This is the cat's territory.
This is before the gate.
Here are some dudes I met.
Here's some weird lady wearing colors that can be seen from space, along with the kid from the previous picture. Hey they look familiar. It's like I see them every day....one of them in the mirror.
(bwa ha ha, I didn't realize the lady coming towards the camera is also wearing a very very bright color...we're focusing on the silly person wearing the hat that is exactly like the one you saw me in on CocoCay...wonder who that is?)
And so we went through the gate!

So here we went slightly astray. There was this tempting set of stairs.
We went up them and saw this.
Went forward.
Went further. Wow. Still wouldn't want to be a sentry in those tiny SMELLY towers, but...nice view.
And our error is that we just continued along that sort of upstairs pathway. This took us onto a very narrow road with no proper sidewalk, and it just felt like we were doing something wrong. We weren't alone! But that didn't make it feel much better.
So if you pass this close to this pink building, you probably should have gone back down the tempting stairs, continued along forward from the gate, and THEN gone up the street.
By the way, the creepy crawlies in PR make really strong-looking webs. Shudder.
And as cool as that bent tree is, you're not in the totally right spot if you see it.
Any Monty Python fans around? Remember the part in the Holy Grail when they are approaching...something...a castle? or you're watching someone approach? it makes a dramatic sound then you look again and they are the same distance away...over and over? That's what approaching El Morro felt like.
Though it was interspersed with this.
We got there at long, long, windy last. We had already decided that we would hit the other fort that day, so we paid our $5 each for both forts (otherwise it's $3 per person) and made sure to keep the receipt safe.

We followed this sign almost exactly! Very very helpful for prioritizing.
Ruh roh. Photobucket has lost its mind. I will be back tomorrow when photobucket has sat in the corner, thinking about what it has done for the evening.

Your pics of San Juan are fabulous. When we went, we walked a little way then had a taxi take us to "the fort." I guess we weren't specific enough because he dropped us off at San Cristobal. We toured it for a LONG time; I can't imagine how long El Morro would take since it's actually bigger. Side note: I got to spend time in Cuba last year, too, and toured Morro Castle, the big fort there. It was a year of Caribbean forts.
Anyway, based on how lovely your pics are I want to see more of San Juan next time. Very pretty. I recommend the Parrot Club for dinner/lunch next time you're there. Easy walk from the ships and great food.

Cuba, wow. My Cuban-American friends hate that I would like to visit Cuba (I would think it would be the opposite, but they are complicated!) but I still wish I could...

Photobucket is playing nicely with others now. Good good.
So we had paid for the two National Parks for the day, and took a picture of that sign telling us how to see El Morro.
Near the sign was an old old staircase. There were clear and distinct signs on how to use the staircase. What? People need instructions for stairs? Well, yes. Because it's the only way up and down, and there can be crowds, it's clearly marked that one side is for going down, and the other side is for going up. Basically, you always want to use the staircase on your right when facing the stairs.
Aw, come on, common sense!
But is it?
I don't really remember what all of this was. It's all part of an armed fort that's really forbidding looking with not a whole lot of shade, and many helpful signs that are written in English and Spanish.
This is another sentry point. They all go smaller as they get towards the outside of the wall, so if the enemies did climb up they could only get through one at a time. Station a person at the other end of the space, pick off the enemies as they come on through.
It was hot.
We've already seen the old one. Here's the new style.
I think those patterns were used to swing cannons around.
This really makes you think about the life of the soldiers.
And this is one of the areas labeled as the kitchens.
2nd Level of the fort. I didn't do anything to the photo to make it green. It didn't look green when we were in there, just dark.
Under "other features to notice" there's a small bit about a fragment of shrapnel in the wall. Here it is, that outjutting/shadow looking thing almost in the middle.
Whoo boy, staircase. This one you can use going up or down.
This is the view (and method of air circulation) in the women's bathroom on one level.
DS says it's the same in the men's, only there were some webs.
Interesting stuff! Going from left to right on the sign and therefore the map:

This reminds me of the fighting scene on POTC.
As far as the stair logic.....well....face it you are talking about people.

DS and I went up into the lighthouse but we were immediately followed by a large group of schoolkids on a field trip. None of them were rude, but they were chatty in a small space, and they filled up the space! So no pictures of the inside. But as we went back down the stairs, I realized how really really steep they are. For those with lower mobility, bad knees, etc, probably want to sit this out.
As we looked out over the view, a nice pair of friends offered to take our picture. I was being silly and had been holding "rabbit ears" over DS's head, but was taking my hand down. They caught a picture as I was moving my hand. So I look goofy, but it's actually a decent picture of the three of us, so here you are.
Looking out over a cemetary.
We looked around for a bit more, visited the gift shop, bought some water. DS bought a pack of playing cards with San Juan pictures on them. Wow, he has them out right now, I notice. He loves them.
Then we left and started the long slow walk (not that long, really, just feels long when it's 200 degrees out) over to San Cristobol.
So by this point in our journey, DH was starting to feel *off*. He was starting to get symptoms of "the January thing that everyone had, you know, the lung thing" (as I call it). So he had been with us since the 18th, it was now the 30th, and he was just then getting symptoms. This "lung thing" had a terribly long incubation period.
E was still fairly tired and we had gotten up early-ish. And it was hot. And we hadn't brought quite enough water or snacks. They were starting to drag. They were getting grumpy. This makes their travel agent sad. When their TA gets sad, she gets more chipper, trying to keep the day going happily. When their TA does this, it makes them more grumpy-cat-ish. And so on.
Here's a picture of the trolley map that gives a basic idea of where we were walking.
So picture us walking from #26 towards #18, along that green line. One side of the street is sort of along the wall, or rather you can kind of see over it. The other side of the street is along houses.
Now picture grumpy-cat-males walking along the shady side of the street (sensible) while fake-chipper-TravelAgent walks on the sunny side of the street. Neither will join the other. Neither is being happy with the other. Harumph.
So that's how we walked for awhile. Not my fault DH didn't bring his hat and wore black...
So here's a picture of the museum, from MY side of the street (looking their way).
By the way, if you walk on the shady, house-side of the street you don't really see the houses like this.
Tropical countries have such bright and colorful houses. If you look back at that picture of me at the SJ gate, you will see the connection. I dress like a box of crayons sometimes, and I like houses that are painted that way, too. I guess having been born in San Francisco with the "painted lady" Victorians imprinted my fashion AND house-paint sense.
On the not-so-fun side, there is a bad part of town in OSJ, known as La Perla. It's recommended to stay out of there. Good news...it would be hard to accidentally end up there. The pathway outside the gates stops at El Morro, and so you would have to find your way TO a gate of sorts into that area. It's on the coast, down the hill, and outside the walls. Here is a view down into it. I didn't know this was the "bad" part of town when I took the pictures. I actually thought, from above, that it looked very picturesque and interesting.
Continuing along the street.
A ruined top of a building next to a cool new gazebo-ish looking thing on a terrace.
Getting into the fort seemed to require a long uphill ramp, and the guys needed a break. So we sat in the shade (reunited on the same side of the street again), and E found that one of the local cats was really very nice. (you can't see it, but the cat has the collar)

Basic info on Castillo San Cristobal.
Main courtyard.
There are things to see here, many rooms with exhibits. Those rooms were, despite windows, hot and I didn't want to look at exhibits. Therefore, my pictures are lacking.
You can go in some "tunnels" (not really tunnels like one thinks of them).
In the tunnel after that sign, there's a dungeon. Only those who aren't scared of the dark and aren't claustrophobic should go in. It's DARK.
If you take one of the free, ranger-led tours, they'll take the group in with the lights on, show them around, then turn the lights off. I saw this happen from out in the main tunnel. Pitch. Black. Utter darkness. Underground, tunnel, no windows. As dark as it can get.
After that group left, we went in, and even with the lighting it's dark dark dark. I would lose my mind in almost no time in there if I had been a prisoner.
In some ways San Cristobal (minus the dungeon) reminded me of my very vague memories of some of the CA Missions we went to on field trips growing up. Especially this.
It's worth going to, but it's not quite as picturesque as El Morro. I'm glad we did it in this order this trip, but in the future I think I would prefer to tour the forts in the opposite order.
If you look back at that map showing the heavy trolley area in the Luna, San Francisco, and Fortaleza streets area, that's where we went next. We were on a street looking out on, it turned out, Plaza de Colon, when we saw a cute little cafe with some outside seating. Not thinking there would be anything we could eat, we looked at the menu posted outside, and saw a large vegetarian portion of the menu! Score!
Sure, we were heading towards the ship, and sure, there was food we'd already paid for on the ship. But here we were, and our stomachs were here, and it was HOT, and heck, why not? So we went on in. This cafe's name is Cafe Berlin, and it was very tasty. I had a Bahama Mama and some sort of meal. DH and DS had some sort of meals as well. The food was big, good, and very fresh and REAL tasting.
After a nice lunch we wandered just a bit more. We came across the tourist-shopping area, and visited Cariloha, which sells bamboo products, on Calle Fortaleza. They got us, big time. And boy did they get us.
At least with jewelry, you only know if you've been "taken" if you go to get things appraised. But with towels and bedding, as we bought, you find out at home, when 5 washings later a towel is starting to fall apart and your sheets have shrunk so much they barely fit on your bed anymore (despite washing them all in cold as the instructions say). Yes they are soft. No, they are not worth it.
Well, the sheets might be worth it, but buy a size bigger than you need. Our bed is a totally normal Queen size bed from Sears, and the depth of it is inches shorter than they state for Queen beds, but the fitting sheet is barely going on anymore, and the flat sheet doesn't come close to tucking in on the sides. Save your money or buy bigger than you need.
On the other hand, I love my beachy bag I got there. And my scarf, though I wish the scarf were longer!
And what has happened with the towels and sheets is just insult to near-injury, because it was while at Cariloha (a US-based company) in San Juan (a US territory) that our credit union decided that it was a questionable purchase. Took what felt like ages. The CU couldn't get things worked out with the CC, so we used our debit. And even that wasn't working the first time because the clerk ran it as credit not debit the first two times. Augh.
Have I mentioned this was the end of our touring day, it was hot, we were sweaty, and it was tick-tocking along towards all aboard time?
Finally FINALLY the debit card went through properly and we headed on out. By that time we had like 9 bamboo necklaces (they give those for free when you enter and say "aloha" or something like that) so we were duly "marked" as tourists (like DS's evacuation wristband wasn't doing that already, or my clothes, or the very obvious fact that I do not live in the tropics, LOL) and we rushed back towards the ship.
Actually, we rushed over to the drugstore to get chapstick. I was out, and this was unacceptable. The CVS (figured it out, it was a CVS) was right near the ship, so I forced the guys to deal with it.
Not long before all aboard time is NOT the time to hit that CVS. CROWDED! And they do their lines differently than other CVSs I've seen, so it's all confused. Locals combined with tourists...bad.
Found the chapstick aisle which was across from the cold remedy aisle, and the "lung thing from January" had hit them, too. Or it had hit enough cruise passengers! There was a sick guy buying stuff for his sicker wife (she hadn't even gotten off the ship, poor lady)... I gave him some experience-based advice and wished him well.
We had plenty of time, we were in no danger. But it sure didn't feel that way! My guys were not having fun as we rushed the block to the ship with something like 40 minutes left. I ask you, does my husband actually travel the world? Or does he just go hide in a Motel 6 in Missoula when he says he's on international work trips? When it comes to family trips, he has NO risk tolerance.
We made it, of course.

We got onboard, go up to the room. Now, because of our early dining time we did have to start getting ready. Showers, etc. As I've probably mentioned, our level of "casual" isn't all that casual. We live near Seattle; our lives are casual. We like opportunities to dress up. So it was khakis and polos and a dress and heels and makeup and whatnot, and off we went.
This evening we actually got there before our tablemates, and before most of the people arrived in our little back corner of the lowest level of the 3-level dining room. So I got this picture.
Pretty, yes?
Our tablemates had gone on the rainforest excursion and had tales to tell, which was fun.
This might have been the night the next table over had a proposal, which was sweet and dramatic. The teen at our table was friends with the teen from their table, and it turns out their suddenly-about-to-be-stepdad had told him and his sister of his impending proposal, but, and this is odd, they didn't believe him? So they were shocked and astonished at the proposal to their mom. The daughter looked horrified and was crying, though about an hour later she seemed happy (though still crying). The teen boy had about 20,000 emotions flitting across his face each moment. I'm still not sure to be happy for them! I'm a stepkid three times over; one was useless, one has been decent, and the third is good but with very different beliefs...being a stepparent is a big deal, and as a stepkid and a former kid, I felt very uncomfortable with the reactions of those kids...
Oh well, I'm sure it's all fine.
The things you see on cruises, right?
Believe it or not, after such a long hot sweaty tiring day, the kiddo had the energy and gumption to go to the kid's club! Woo!!!
Which left me and Robert to our own devices. We chose to wander. I bought a "serving" of Baileys, no ice, and I had a decaf iced latte (part of my Replenish package, remember) that I poured it into. Yum.
We did a scavenger hunt of sorts, trying to go to, if not in, all of the various lounges and bars. I took some pictures of the signs, but those are boring. Well, maybe they are boring? Let me know if you want to see a few pictures of lounge/bar signs.
We did sit in one bar, Olive or Twist (say the name to hear the funny), and I took some pictures of the outside.
Then we walked across the always-windy pool deck. They were playing, as you can see Burt Wonderstone. I get scared walking outside on those open decks at night. I get worried I'll be blown off forever and ever!
We found the Library and I got a book, and we saw the things they have available.
This is one of the interactive signs. This should probably be on a different ship. Because Freedom doesn't have The Catacombs.
Weird freaky Little Shop of Horrors style glass art.
Turns out this is on the level where we entered the ship, where we first talked to anyone about our beverage package, etc.
Others have taken way better pictures than I did, but one thing I loved about Radiance and Freedom is all of the glass and lit-up glass at that.
I also love the clocks, even when I take blurry pictures.
We went out to the deck.
This was useful info so you didn't lean against the wall and get smooshed.
Eventually it was time for us to go retrieve the young-one. He had made a craft; a decorated pillowcase, and they had watched a movie (Wreck It Ralph, if you can believe it) and had had a terrific time, and we all turned in for the night.
Day 4 was done with.

text: Saw this article this AM, about how mohammed atta's luggagge was not put on the plane in Portland and how the two pieces tied all of the conspiracy together for the investigators. My issue is that from afar it looks too tidy, know atta and crew were not rocket scientists, but to bring two pieces of luggage with all of their info inside; including plans, names of conspirators, last wills etc. Then not get them on the planes and then the investigators find them... I do not subscribe to all of the conspiracy theories, but sometimes this stuff does not seem as real as it should be. http://www.newsday.com/news/nationw...7,0,3743892.story?coll=ny-homepage-bigpix2005 Former federal terrorism investigators say a piece of luggage hastily checked in at the Portland, Maine, airport by a World Trade Center hijacker on the morning of Sept. 11 provided the Rosetta stone enabling FBI agents to swiftly unravel the mystery of who carried out the suicide attacks and what motivated them. A mix-up in Boston prevented the luggage from connecting with the plane that hijackers crashed into the north tower of the trade center. Seized by FBI agents at Boston's Logan Airport, investigators said, it contained Arab-language papers revealing the identities of all 19 hijackers involved in the four hijackings, as well as information on their plans, backgrounds and motives. The luggage saga represents what the former federal authorities describe as an untold story of 9/11 -- offering explanations for questions long unanswered about the investigation of the tragedy, such as how authorities were able to identify the hijackers so soon after the attacks. The former federal investigators said information found in the bag was passed on to Justice Department lawyers, who prosecuted Zacarias Moussaoui on charges growing out of the suicide attacks. A Justice Department spokesman, Brian Roehrkasse, said: "Under the judge's order, we're not going to comment on anything relating to the case."

Perfect for long days on your feet
I bought these, originally, as an 8, but they were way too loose (I range between a 7-7.5-8 depending on the shoe). I exchanged them for a 7 and they are perfect. They're really comfortable, and easy to wear for long days, especially when you work standing. I'm a phlebotomist, and these are perfect. They're slip-resistent and have a thick rubber casing. Perfect.

Great deal
I bought these thinking that they would be terrible, but they are so comfortable and so durable. I wore them while I was living in the city, walking around and to work (I bartended). They were so great. The only problem is that they get full of gunk when it rains, or you walk through a puddle. But the great part is that you can just take them in the shower with you and clean them. I actually just changed my 4-star to 5-star. A little gunk is nothing when you have shoes that can be washed with soap and water and not have to worry about them getting ruined :) I love these shoes. Can't wait to buy more.

help with an old Healing
Vintage, yesteryear and retro biking
Re: help with an old Healing
Do these help?
I loosened up the chain enough to turn the pedals. The coaster brake even works! Not bad considering it has been in a shed for 50 years!
The question is is it best left as is for a museum piece lol or should I restore it. Of course i could just chuck it back in the scrap bin.(no I wouldnt)
Re: help with an old Healing
good to see another South Australian here.
As Mark seems a bit slow posting I will offer his brown vinegar recommendation
that should keep you busy for a while. No need to fill the hot tub with it though.
Kevin Clark at Clark Cycles is a good source for the tyres and advice.
Clarks Cycles, 354 Magill Rd, Kensington Park.
Re: help with an old Healing
Thanks clyde I will check that shop out and probably check my vinegar supplies I can see a lot of polishing coming.
Re: help with an old Healing
First thing i would do is try and remove the cranks, if they are Williams ones there is a teensy tiny little logo and 2 letter date code on the inside of the crank arm.

Re: help with an old Healing
I am still soaking all the moving parts with CRC I dont want to strip any threads and Im in no hurry. I think one of the crank arms may be bent, it doesnt look bent but it hits the chain. I took the front wheel off and it has a few dings in it but only surface rust unfortunately I had to cut the tyre off it was way too stiff to get off without damaging the rim. The tube looked like it would have still held air. The drop bars have a crease in them so I think theyre NFG. Fortunately my inlaws have another bike of similar age hanging in a shed. I dont remember what type of bike it was but it had a snapped chainstay. The good thing is that it has drop bars and I think they are ok. Out of curiousity if a chainstay is broken on a frame does that mean its no good to restore or would it be worth getting it repaired? I think it was a ladies bike and it would be cool to have his and hers vintage bikes. I got given a spare set of wheels with the Healing and they are quite rough but the rust looks quite thin but they are not as pretty as the ones on the bike atm. And they are very heavy. After removing the tyre from the front I put it back on and spun it the bearings run on forever. A bit of grease and a clean up and they should be functional. The chainring looks like new wear wise but it is a bit rusty. My wire wheel and Dremel are going to get a workout! I read in here that someone has made Healing decals I will have to look into that as well. I was wondering if the chain is some wierd pitch and if it will be hard to find. Thanks for all the help so far I am pleasantly surprised at how quickly Im getting responses.
Re: help with an old Healing
Cyclomondo (aka Greg Softley aka gts273 on ebay) has Healing decals which i will be using for my restoration, but they are not the same as the ones on mine or yours. I suspect that the downtube branding is actually painted on. If you wanted to be exact you would need to take a hi res photo of the original branding, touch it up with pixlr or photoshop or similar and get a signwriter to make you some. Not particularly expensive if you do the touch up work yourself but can be very time consuming.

Re: help with an old Healing
CLeaning a few things up today.
I cant see any markings on the cranks and I cant get them off either I may have to take it to work and put some heat on the crank bolts. I'll keep spraying Penetrene on them until I'm on arvo shift. I got the seat off today without breaking anything but I will have to get the leather off of it to clean up the springs.I never thought it would be easy and its not but I think it will be worth the effort.
Re: help with an old Healing
are you sure this is a leather cover?
looking at the edges and the general condition suggests that it may be rubber. Worth a close look before you start treating it with Proofide.
Re: help with an old Healing
Ive been wondering what it was made of . I assumed it was some sort of compressed leather or something but it sure could be rubber. If it is how would you recommend that I treat it, if at all?
Re: help with an old Healing
That looks to be quite an older Healing
my guess around the 1920's
Re: help with an old Healing
perhaps have a look at car tyre products.
Re: help with an old Healing
I noticed that there appears to be the remains of another healing decal under the visible one. I think this means that feelthewheel is probably right about the refresh job.I still cant get the crank arms off. Iwill take it into work on arvo shift next week. Whats the general opinion on using reproduction parts. If I use them will I become a leper on this forum? I would like to ride this bike eventually so I dont really want to wear out vintage parts but I still want it to look the part. Plus I saw a really nice Indian made saddle on ebay. I hope this isnt hijacking the thread I figure I need help with an old Healing.I cleaned some rust off it today trying to get a better look at the pinstriping so I can copy it.There is hours and hours of work put into the pinstriping alone.I imagine it would have been expensive in its day.
Re: help with an old Healing
you could go the path of dismantling the bike and replacing those parts that are needing it (tubes, tyres, bearings and chain).
You will not be criticised for the replacement of those parts.
Then check if any parts are unsafe and source suitable period replacements (ebay)
I would carefully clean all parts, remove rust with vinegar (or oxalic acid) on the chainring, stem, bars etc.
Then wax the frame and rebuild, and ride.
I don't think it is worth a full concours restoration, but it can be a conversation starter when you go for a ride.
Then search for your tweed so you are ready for the next Tweed Ride.
Re: help with an old Healing
I just looked up what a tweed ride is hmmmm....... not sure Im that keen.
I think at this stage Im just going to clean up the paintwork as much as I can and seal it up with wax or clears and fix it up to ride.I figure if I decide to paint it I can do it later but I can only stuff it up once.When I rubbed back the rust I found a lot more paint underneath than I was expecting.I bought spokes today for the front wheel so I can rebuild the front wheel this weekend. I went to Star cycles in Elizabeth with the wheel and the owner just smiled when he saw it. He has about 50 28x1 3/8 tyres in stock and tubes. Only $20 per tyre. Hopefully in a few weeks I will be riding it!
Re: help with an old Healing
By the way the owner of the shop had so many tyres because the only supplier of those tyre sizes has just been bought by a bigger company and he thinks the supplys could run out.He could have just been trying to sell them but he seemed dinkum.
Re: help with an old Healing
I'm doing the tweed thing with my healing at the Noosa L'Eroica this year actually . I reckon it'll be a hoot.

Re: help with an old Healing
That looks like a C1930 racing frame to me. Coaster hub etc would be later additions.
Those 'BSA' rear ends are one of the 'racing' versions, with tapered chainstays. The narrow fork crown, keyhole lugs, seatstays bolted at bottom but brazed at top, everything points to the crossover period 1928-1932. That is the crossover from the bikes built between say 1910 and 1927, and the 'modern' frames, built from 1932 on.
The Williams 3 pin cranks were mostly used only on race bikes. The cranks and / or the chainwheel will be date coded. Google Williams Chainwheel and cranks dating for a table setting out codes. The codes are tiny, scrape the rust away to see them.
Apologies if this has already been said, I have not read the entire thread.
The head lugs with 3 slots top and bottom were almost certainly used by more than one builder. It is dangerous to try and identify a builder by this sort of thing, as it was very easy to modify a pair of headlugs in this way.
I suspect it is not a Healing, but it could be!
Re: help with an old Healing
I know nothing about old bikes but I have noticed where the "Healing" is painted on it is over a previous paintjob with "Healing" painted underneath it. So if it isnt a Healing its had Healing painted on it twice. I think it looks like it may be an older Healing refurbished. I will try to get some more info but its difficult as my father in law and his brother were the previous riders but one has dementia and the other has had a stroke. They were kind of excited when I said I could be getting it going again.
Re: help with an old Healing
G'day moofish, very nice pickup! have to agree with spearpoint its an early one,
Re: help with an old Healing
I have no idea what company made this crankset does this mean anything?
I am halfway through lacing the front wheel its my first ever so wish me luck.The front hub cleaned up ok.I managed to pump some grease in there today and it runs sweet. I painted it black as it was just bare metal. Would the hub have matched the rim colour or was it left as bare metal, there was no sign of any paint on it at all. I think the hub was a Bayliss .... something it wasnt clear.Thanks for all the interest guys it been a bit of a history lesson for me.
Re: help with an old Healing
That would be an English Williams chainwheel. The 46 is the number of teeth and the U is Williams code for made in 1933.
Re: help with an old Healing
but Warren had earlier identified the chainset manufacturer and advised
the Google search Warren suggested yields the following two references from Classic Lightweights. One is an explanation of Williams chainrings and the second is the Williams year of manufacture codes.
I think you owe Speedywheels a coffee for his contribution.
for the overhaul of the hub , step by step here
If you Google Bayliss+bicycle+hub you will get this
let Google be your friend.
Re: help with an old Healing
I didnt come up with the date chart only the other one. Cool thanks for the info this tells me the chainwheel is a 33 but that may not be the original chainwheel so I still dont know the age of the frame. I owe all of you a coffee maybe even a nip of sherry at the next Adelaide Tweed run. I am warming to the idea.One of the best things is that it would embaress my kids.The tough part is do barber shops still sell moustache wax and do I have time to grow it really big? I finished lacing my first wheel and I am quite happy with it.It runs out about 1-2mm, for a rim thats got a few dings in it thats close enough. I used tyre shine spray on the seat and it looks pretty good so thanks for that tip.Im taking the frame to work tonight so I hope Im not too busy. I would like to get the crankset apart if I can. Thanks again for all your help Im enjoying fixing this bike up and you guys have made it a lot easier.
Re: help with an old Healing
My guess is that the cranks will be original to the bike. As stated above, it looks like a frame from the crossover period to me, approx 1928 to 1932, so 1933 makes sense. The cranks may also have a date code, have a look on the back.
Also, check the forks for 30 tpi or 24 tpi threading on the steerer tube. As far as I know, most builders swapped to 24 tpi in the late 1920's.
Re: help with an old Healing
Ok guys yesterday I cleaned and serviced the rear hub/coaster brake. Today I put a new tyre on the back. I rode it around the factory for a bit before the rain started.Now I need the moustache wax and tweeds. I have never ridden a road bike before and this was wierd. The tyres on my Kona are 2.35" these skinny things creep me out. When I got the bike it had a 1950s style electric horn with a remote push button. I got that working too.It sounds like a wounded goat! If I heard it I would get out of the way. With the current gearing so high it was hard pedalling but I think it would fly once it got moving. Now I just need to wax it and find out when the next tweed run in Adelaide is going to be.One question I have dropped the bars and old guys at work say they would never have been dropped them down back in the day.Were they dropped down just for racing or did people ride around with the bars up?

Katherine Heigl Out at Grey's Anatomy, Will Not Appear on Series Againby Steve Marsi at . Comments
After six seasons on Grey's Anatomy, Katherine Heigl is finally nearing a discharge.
EW says series creator Shonda Rhimes has agreed to release the fast-rising movie star from her contract and it's up to ABC Studios and Heigl's reps to hash out an exit agreement.
Why is all of this coming down right now? That's where things get interesting.
After taking more than half of the current season off to make another movie and connect with her adopted daughter, Heigl was scheduled to return to the Grey's Anatomy set on March 1 to begin work on the five remaining episodes of the season.
Just one problem: March 1 came and went and there was no Heigl.
A source within the actress' camp claims that Katherine "was at home and ready to return to work." Another insider, however, "insists that it's much more complicated than that."
So she just didn't go in? This whole thing is bizarre.
The source adds that talks between Heigl and ABC have been going on for months and last week both sides mutually decided that the best solution would be to part ways now.
As a result, Heigl is not expected to return to the Grey's Anatomy set this season after all, which means her final episode as original character Dr. Izzie Stevens already aired.The soon-to-be-finalized break-up caps a long history between Heigl and Grey's Anatomy that can be described as contentions. Some of the more high-profile squabbles:
- In 2007, Heigl found herself in the middle of the T.R. Knight / Isaiah Washington feud when she publicly dissed Isaiah for repeating the F-word at the Golden Globes.
- In 2008, Heigl took a swipe at Grey's Anatomy writers when she announced that she wasn't entering the Emmy race because "did not feel I was given the material."
- In 2009, she whined to David Letterman that Grey's Anatomy was subjecting her to intolerable working conditions. "A 17-hour day, which I think is cruel and mean."
- Multiple times over the course of those years, Heigl's disagreements over her contract situation became public, with speculation that Season Five would be her last.
The bottom line is that we don't suspect that there will be any love lost on either side as this whole sordid chapter comes to an end. But how do you feel about it as fans?
Happy this ordeal is finally over? Couldn't care less? Sad that she's leaving, or at least sad that she's not getting a formal send-off and just vanishing?

It's about time. Pretty sick of all the drama and I really haven't missed Izzie at all this season.
This show is SO over. They haven't given Heigl anything good in YEARS. She's been gone so long now ... Izzie who? Grey's won't be on much longer, the creator is moving on to a new medical drama, so say your good byes fans.
I hope that he negative attitude and bratty behavior are reflected in her oh-so-precious movie career. At this point, there's nothing I'd like better than for her career to tank and for her to disappear. It's not like her movies are more than fluff. The Ugly Truth was one of the worst things I've ever seen, and I certainly won't put another dime in this slag's pocket. Grey's Anatomy can only improve with her absence.
noooooooooooo y izzie i want her to stay she was my fav character im just going to stop watching the show from now on even though i love greys i would want izzie stevens back on i love her she was the best now shes not coming back :(
kinda sad. but not surprised. she hasn't been in a lot of eposides this season so you not going to miss her much. but i love izzie. i live in ireland so don't hear a lot about on set drama unless i see it here, so her leaving is sad for me.
And what about Alex? His and Izzie's relationship was a huge part of character's story. During the last episodes he's been seen only as a stud... I'm just wondering how long this show is going to continue with these kind of decisions? (according to wikipedia it's been going down in viewers rankings too - no surprise!)
This is annoying! Izzie is - was - my favourite character. Too bad scripts were so bad for her and George starting from season three. Their affair was the most stupid thing ever - right after George's vanishment and death, of course. And now Izzie is just gone?? I hate to think that this show had such a great potential during its first seasons - now all lost. I still watch it but it just isn't the same anymore... Think about the name: it's Grey's anatomy but what interesting things have actually happened to Meredith for a long, long time? Nothing. Sloan, Callie, Lexie and Teddy seem to be the new leading characters.
Too bad they've totally ruined this show.
I'm honestly not disappointed or surprised. Izzie was an integral part of this show in its early years, and I think both KH and her character were phenomenal in seasons 1-4. Her sheer range of emotion was incredible...just thinking back to the episode where her daughter was in the hospital, or when she was in love with George, or her wedding...those were some very special moments. But now, I think her character would really have to be developed, and she'd have to make a completely fresh start. You can't come out of cancer, almost die, lose your best friend, your job and your husband and not reinvent yourself. So maybe her departure comes at an optimal time.
Nooooo, this is so sad!!! I will miss Izzie terribly, she was my favorite character ever since day 1. I think she has not made wrong decisions in all these quarrels, she just honestly stated her opinion. It's very, very disappointing that she doesn't get a real send-off. She's just gone- that's it?! Can they at least make up a really cool story about it then? If this is Katherine's decision, then that is the only one of hers that I've ever disapproved off.
I still like GA very much, also with the new characters, and I find it understandable that actors after years spent playing the same character, want to move on. It will be interesting though to see what will happen after season 7. As far as KH is concerned, I find her behaviour (complaining all these years about the show, and her lack of interest for Izzie and Izzie's fans during this season) really ungrateful towards the character which has made her famous (I didn't even know she existed before Grey's). She's missed already so many episodes and since she doesn't want to stay anyway for the next season, I think they were right in letting Alex tell her not to come back, and make HIM end their story this way. What would be the point now in having her back for the last couple of episodes in this season? A very clever move, Shonda! By the way, what I also find out of line is KH using her adopted daughter as an excuse for not working on Grey's set: with all the movies she's making I wonder when she has time to spend with that little girl, whom she also made a point of letting everybody know has "special needs"!

Thinking of heading over there this Saturday. I looked at the website and the trails look like a lot of fun.
I noticed that most, if not all, the trails are directional. How does this work access wise? Some of them look like mostly downhill...so just wondering what the ride is like to get to the trail heads. Any other info would be appreciated as well.

Unfortunately, Nestle's social media embrace is being more than spurned by consumers; it's also drawing large quantities of vitriolic comments, viral video parodies, animated parodies of the company's reaction to the reaction, and so on.

Debate Season
By Yoni Brenner
The two debates, a mere 12 hours apart, offered stark contrasts in how these elaborately staged and planned productions can play out unpredictably. The choice of questions, moderators and even a night's sleep can make the difference between a heated debate and a tired recitation of stump speeches.
—"Dueling Debates Vary in Style, Tone and Content," The New York Times, 1/8/12
AIKEN, S.C.—The six remaining candidates in the race for the Republican nomination met twice on Sunday in the runup to the all-important South Carolina primary. In the first debate, moderated by Chuck Todd and co-sponsored by CNBC and Amazon.com, tempers flared as Newt Gingrich intensified his attacks on Mitt Romney.
The second debate, taking place just two hours later, found the candidates entirely transformed, with Ron Paul looking uncharacteristically debonair in a white tuxedo and Rick Perry delighting the crowd with an impromptu performance of Debussy's "Clair de Lune." The conversation was gay and lively, and the entire event seemed more like a sparkling fin de siècle dinner party than a high-stakes political showdown. Afterward the candidates repaired to the drawing room for brandy and cigars for the non-Mormons, apple juice and crumb cake for the Mormons, and a screening of the 1993 film "Beethoven" for Rick Santorum.

The Human Age
The Elusive Nature of Joy
"Over and over again I sail towards joy, which is never in the room with me, but always near me, across the way, like those rooms full of gayety one sees from the street, or the gayety in the street one sees from a window. Will I ever reach joy? It hides behind the turning merry-go-round of the traveling circus. As soon as I approach it, it is no longer joy. Joy is a foam, an illumination. I am poorer and hungrier for the want of it. When I am in the dance, joy is outside in the elusive garden. When I am in the garden, I hear it exploding from the house. When I am traveling, joy settles like an aurora borealis over the land I leave. When I stand on the shore I see it bloom on the flag of a departing ship. What joy? Have I not possessed it? I want the joy of simple colors, street organs, ribbons, flags, not a joy that takes my breath away and throws me into space alone where no one else can breathe with me, not the joy that comes from a lonely drunkenness. There are so many joys, but I have only known the ones that come like a miracle, touching everything with light."

"So if the question is 'Why should we want to control our futures?' then the surprisingly right answer is that it feels good to do so– period. Impact is rewarding. Mattering makes us happy.
