Becoming a travel pro takes time–and lots of trial and error–but it's not cheating to learn from the experiences of others. The folks at Nat Geo Travel know that as much as anyone. And while we have a lot of road miles under our belts, we're students of the world, too. Here's what we've learned so far.

While my fiance and I are happy to explore the world solo, each trip we take on our own reminds us of how much better it is to travel together. It's not perfect, of course. Because travel forces you out of your comfort zone, it can bring unexpected challenges as well as unexpected joy. Here's what we've learned from a decade of travel together, from both sides.
I just returned from a week in Galway with my entire family. With eight of us, ranging from 20 to 61, there's bound to be conflicts, alliances, and laughter. Here are my hard-won tips for multi-generational travel!
National Geographic Traveler's executive editor, Norie Quintos, recently took a guided tour of Morocco with the Vermont-based Country Walkers. Here are three important lessons she learned along the way.
Mothers don't always make the easiest traveling companions. Check out these tips for how to survive one-on-one travel.
Touring musicians are road warriors. Traveling to a different city nearly every day, often in cramped vans or buses, they become adept at rolling with the punches, getting along with others, and making cultural connections (through their music and otherwise). That's why they're the perfect people to dole out tips to us travel dabblers.
Planning for a road trip can be overwhelming. When you don't have to pay fifty bucks to check your luggage, it's tempting to just throw it all in the car. But, after a few trips, I learned that going this route leaves you with a car full of stuff, none of which is at arm's length when you need it. Now that I'm more than a week in to my epic National Geographic adventure, I wouldn't call myself a road trip expert (yet), but if I had to boil down what's currently in my car even further to the top 10 essentials, here's what would make the cut.
Those who leave their homes for temporary jaunts to other places can be sorted into three basic categories: Tourists, travelers, and good travelers. (Notice that last one wasn't capitalized — this isn't about me.) I owe many of my most memorable trips to the serendipitous kindness of strangers, and am firm in the belief that you get what you give when you travel. Here are a handful of easy tips to help you bring the good to your own journeys.
I don't consider myself an over-packer. But when I showed up for an eight-day trip in a country (Jordan) and region (the Middle East) I've never been to with a bag twice the size of the ten other travel writers in my group, I figured I still had a few things to learn. Here's what…
By Rhett Register, assistant researcher at National Geographic Traveler magazine. "Globetrotter" is a descriptor that gets thrown around a lot in travel writing, so when I saw that the Harlem Globetrotters were in town it occurred to me to ask what tips a real Globetrotter might have for travelers — especially tall ones like myself.…

Joint Call for Proposals
Research Innovation Committee (RIC)
the Wisconsin Materials Institute (WMI)
and the Wisconsin Energy Institute
of the College of Engineering
The Research Innovation Committee (RIC) joins with the Wisconsin Materials Institute (WMI) and the Wisconsin Energy Institute (WEI) to invite proposals that identify visionary, far-reaching goals that will establish the leadership of the College of Engineering in realizing engineering knowledge for the future. We encourage faculty and scientist to bring their best ideas to explore new areas and open new and fertile ventures for engineering science and research.
This year the call for proposals invites submissions in the targeted areas of materials research and energy initiatives, as well as investigator-initiated center stimulation efforts. This portfolio anticipates new opportunities in Engineering Frontiers Research Centers (for example, catalysis, biocatalysis, and water-energy nexus) and Advanced Manufacturing Opportunities, including Smart Manufacturing in Energy Technologies. The scope of the call covers basic and applied inquiry in engineering knowledge enrichment and service to society. The intent is to improve the competitiveness of extramural research proposals, explore new collaborations and/or facilitate submission of nationally competitive proposals for centers and other large-scale collaborative opportunities, and stimulate leadership in materials.
Funds to support proposals of Type I and II will come primarily from the RIC in the College of Engineering. It is anticipated that 6-8 proposals of these types will be funded in Fall 2014. Funds to support proposals of Type III and IV will come primarily from the RIC, WMI and WEI. It is anticipated that 1-2 proposals of each of these types will be funded in Fall 2014. For cases where funding for successful proposals is aligned with other college or campus initiatives, an effort will be made to coordinate with those initiatives.
Important dates
CFP release — September 15, 2014
Information session — Monday, September 22, 2014, 4:30 PM, 1610 Engineering Hall
Proposals due — Friday, November 7, 2014, 5 PM
Recommendations to the Dean — December 10, 2014
MediaSite videostream (29:32 min.; access by CAE login)
Coffee and Conversation with the RIC
Faculty and academic staff are invited to join members of the RIC for coffee and conversation on Monday, August 25 from 8:00-9:00 a.m. in 3127 Mechanical Engineering.
Please RSVP at https://doodle.com/dcnyqzmh6r8fpyq9 by August 18.
2014-2015 Call for Proposals
The RIC anticipates releasing two calls for proposals during academic year 2014-2015 with anticipated award dates of November 15 and April 15. The deadline for submission of proposals will be announced early in the fall academic semester. We solicit three types of proposals: Support for Enhanced Competitiveness proposals that provide partial funding for extramural proposals not funded; Center-stimulation projects with the potential to better position the college in novel innovative research and multidisciplinary centers, and Program Concept Awards that can lay out a vision for a 5-10 year program in Advanced Manufacturing.
The purpose of this call for proposals is, in part, to stimulate new and innovative cross-college and cross-university initiatives led by the College of Engineering. The scope of the call covers basic and applied inquiry in engineering knowledge enrichment and service to society. The intent is to improve the competitiveness of extramural research proposals, explore new collaborations and/or facilitate submission of nationally competitive proposals for centers and other large-scale collaborative opportunities, and generate a concrete vision of how the thematic area of Advanced Manufacturing could be developed within the College of Engineering. The scope of the call includes projects that engage industry.
Funds to support proposals will come primarily from the Research Innovation Committee in the College of Engineering. Funding for successful proposals aligned with other college initiatives, such as the Wisconsin Materials Institute, will be coordinated with those initiatives.
The outcome of funded activities will be:
a. Resubmission or revised submission of an unfunded extramural proposal bolstered by additional preliminary results and/or attention to criticisms raised during external review.
b. Progress toward submission of an extramural application for a research center with annual funding at the level of $2-5M/year or greater for at least 5 years.
c. Well-defined targets of investment for Advanced Manufacturing.

Blockbuster Won't Liquidate
Unsecured lenders could get up to $7.5 million of the approximately $40 million Blockbuster owes them and also share in the money from any higher bid.
Separately, Lifland said Carl Icahn and his funds are allowed to bid for Blockbuster in an auction. This comes after one junior creditor said the billionaire should not be able to participate in an auction.
Blockbuster filed for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization at the end of September, at the time saying it would continue to operate stores and pay employees.
It was speculated that Blockbuster would be forced to enter Chapter 7 liquidation, following the path of now defunct rival Movie Gallery.-- Written by Jeanine Poggi in New York.

CoverGirl Ultimate Finish Liquid Powder Makeup Reviews
my reviewthis doesnt really work well for me,i have large pores so it doesnt work well, — 6 years, 1 month agouniquemonique | 40 reviews
Great Price, Great ProductI've tried a lot of high end foundations, but I keep coming back to Cover Girl. I especially love the liquid powder makeup, which gives great coverage and has a good range of shades. Can't beat the price for a fabulous product. — 6 years, 5 months agomariebouvier | 3 reviews
Works great, as both a foundation and a concealer!And since it serves as both a foundation and a concealer, it's a great value for the price. — 6 years, 5 months agojewelz1172 | 1 reviews
Not a winnerI'm not a fan of this stuff. I was all excited about it until I put it on. It was very heavy and seemed to make my face look oily and just felt so sticky and I even needed to put powder on top of this because it looked so greasy or something. I ended up only using it for under my eyes and little areas that needed cover up. I don't use this anymore and I would never use it as full face foundation. — 6 years, 6 months agobratty_89 | 14 reviews
Best YetThis has to be the best foundation I have found as of yet. The price is right, it is so easy to apply, and it doesn't cause break outs. It blends so smoothly, no more fighting with liquid foundation then powder. It's so convienent, everything in one beautiful compact. — 6 years, 6 months agoMofinski | 1 reviews
undefinedCover girl Ultimate Powder Make-up is the best thing ever. I am an african american female and has a red to tan skin color and can't seem to find anything to match it. My friend informed me of this product and since then, I have been usung it all the time. It matches my skin color. Best all it doesn't make me melt. Love it in Texas — 6 years, 6 months agodreemy1982 | 1 reviews
GoodA good product. That doesn't leave you feeling like you are all caked up. — 6 years, 6 months agoblueatv | 1 reviews
Not all it claimsI really feel that this product did not live up to Cover Girl's reputation. I really love Cover Girl products but was dissappointed with this product. When I put it on it felt very heavy. Coverage was okay but I kept having to retouch throughout the day. Overall it was not a very good value for the money. — 6 years, 6 months agoTroutFam | 2 reviews
No goodI tried this and did not like it and wouldn't reccomend it to any of my friends! — 6 years, 6 months agoBekahBoo | 1 reviews

Ok so as of last Saturday I tried doing a little bit of walking since everyone keeps telling me it will help during labor. Well bad idea. Ever since my swelling as gone to a whole other level. My feet were swollen the rest of the day and when I say swollen they literally looked like balloons and I had shooting pain come up from the left foot every time I took a step. Well ever since it just seems to be constantly swollen and a great pain to walk by 5pm. I work in a desk all day but I have a box I use to try to elevate my feet under my desk.
The sweeling has now been traveling up my calves and almost past my knees. I had a sort of cold numbing pain thru out my left leg all night and into this morning. I had a dr. appt yesterday and they couldnt really tell me anything. Im sure it isnt pre-eclampsia since I had a urine test yesterday and my blood pressure is normal as is everything with baby. Only thing not normal is the 4 lbs I gained since last week which could be water retention.
Who of you all are going thru this and have any advice that I can use to bear thru this swelling/pain. I am scheduled to work until next Friday but its driving me crazy. Flip flops barely fit at this point! HELP!!


text: Hungarian Grand Prix: Renault Sport F1 previews Hungaroring 24 July, 2013 Renault Sport F1 preview the Hungarian Grand Prix, Round 10 of the 2013 Formula 1 world championship, at Hungaroring near Budapest. Turn 2 After exiting the tight Turn 1 in second gear, the drivers accelerate quickly up to 6th before braking downhill into Turn 2. It is very easy to break too late, locking a wheel and compromising the racing line at corner entry. Equally it is very tempting to get on the power too early, which will compromise the racing line through 3, this penalty being carried along the entirety of following straight. This sequence of corners rewards patience and precision. From an engine's perspective, the aim is to produce the exact torque requested by the driver, this being just as important on overrun as on traction. Turns 8 and 9 Although these are definitely two corners in their own right, they are inextricably linked. Exiting the chicane, the drivers accelerate from 2nd to 4th, brake and drop down to 3rd to negotiate turn 8. A quick spurt and momentarily back up to 4th before a quick touch of the brakes and back down to 3rd to tackle turn 9. Drivers have to be careful to not be too greedy through turn 8, as this will compromise their line through turn 9, this loss of speed being carried down to turn 11 as turn 10 is easily taken flat. The RS27 needs to be able to respond instantly to the driver's rapidly changing demands throughout this section, such as 50ms downshifts followed by almost immediate power application. Turn 14 Turn 14 is last corner of the circuit. Taken in 3rd gear at between 130-150 km/h, it is negotiated over a period of around two seconds from the point of turn-in. It is unusual in the sense that it is not a typical point-and-squirt corner, where the driver brakes, turns in and gets back on the power straight away. Instead the driver holds some pedal throughout the corner, potentially stabbing at it deliberately to overcome any understeer balance. Finally the driver arrives at the end of the corner, hopefully on the right line to get the best exit onto the start/finish straight. The engine will need to respond well to this relatively unusual set of circumstances, as any hesitation or drivability issue could upset the balance of the car mid-corner. Rémi Taffin, Renault Sport F1 head of track operations: The twisty 4.381km circuit is often compared to a kart track, with one slow speed corner leading into another in very quick succession. This sinuous nature gives rise to an extremely low speed over a lap, just 182kph, making Hungary the slowest lap after Monaco. In fact, with just 55% of the lap taken at full throttle, the requirements for this permanent track are very similar to a street race. Power sensitivity and outright engine power are therefore not a major concern, and the start-finish straight and the 790m straight between turns three and four are the only parts of the track where the engine is used at maximum revs. As a result we generally use engines on the third race and work to deliver good low speed torque response and driveability. With so many stops and starts, the fuel consumption per kilometre is high and the starting fuel load will be correspondingly heavy. This is however offset by the high average ambient temperatures, which are generally around the 30°C mark, sometimes even as high as 35°C. While reducing fuel consumption, the high temperatures do put the cooling system under a lot of pressure, so heat dissipation is key, particularly when you consider that the engine has little time to breathe on the short bursts between corners. Unfortunately the high downforce settings required for this track do not afford us the luxury of additional air inlets to cool the engine so we carefully prepare the Hungaroring in the dynos back at Viry, working specifically over the low revs in high ambient conditions. Typically, the Hungaroring has always rewarded the RS27 engine, which thrives on twisty circuits where driveability comes to the fore. We'll be looking to take advantage of this going into the summer break.

As the next installment of ABC's hit dating show stars premieres with a returning Bachelor looking for a second shot at love, we've got to wonder: Why would anyone want to go back to a show that has such a poor track record when it comes to couples who stay together? Is it possible that TV isn't the best place to look for love? We decided to take a look back — at both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette — to see where all the contestants are now.
Although Jen Schefft, who in 2005 shot down two marriage-minded suitors as The Bachelorette, applauds Bachelor Brad Womack's decision not to propose to anyone in this season's finale, she's still steamed that he isn't taking as much heat for his non-choice as she did. Where, she asks on the Huffington Post, is the outrage and "negative press I personally received after announcing I didnt want to be with any of the guys I met on the show? I havent seen much denouncing him as a jerk... or proclaiming he made the biggest mistake of his life and that hed be single forever. Um, remind me never to ask Schefft to come to my defense.

These Grilled Peaches with cinnamon sugar butter are deeeelicious!
So easy to make and perfect for end of summer barbecues. We stocked up on peaches after visiting the Greenbluff farms north of Spokane. We brought home so many peaches. It is a good thing my parents came over to visit because I had way to many peaches in the house.
My Mom ended up taking about a half a box back to Seattle with her. I ran out of time to make all of the recipes I was hoping to make. I figured if I tried to make all of the recipes we would be swimming in peach pie, peach cobbler and everything else for a while.
These grilled peaches are soooo good. I am not sure why I have held off on grilling peaches for so long. They are perfect with vanilla ice cream or with the cinnamon sugar butter.
These grilled peaches are perfect for an easy summer dessert or appetizer.
Here is everything you need…

exiting WMC full screen - video turns to crap/blurry
I have a weird issue where my screen will get all light colored and just really crappy quality - blurry. I'm not sure if it is Windows, Nvidia, the HDMI cable, my monitor or what. I apologize if this is the wrong forum.
This usually happens coming out of full screen from Windows Media Center, but sometimes after a reboot.
I can turn off my tv (Sony Bravia - 52" LCD - KDL-52W4100) and turn it back on then the problem is fixed. Sometimes I can go full screen and back out again and that will fix it.
I have HDMI connection - Windows 7100 - I have the latst Nvidia drivers 186.. - I have tried a different HDMI cable also
Here is the rest of the build.
Intel Pentium E5200 Wolfdale 2.5GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
GIGABYTE GA-E7AUM-DS2H LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 9400 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
A-DATA 4GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 Media Center Kit Dual TV Tuner
Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
Anyone else have this problem - or perhaps point me in the right direction?
|My System Specs
|08 Jul 2009
ok - I think I fixed it. It's been a few hours now and all is well.
Nvidia was set to 60 Hertz
Sony was 60
but Windows was 59.
Screen Resolution - Advanced Settings - changed that to 60 and so far all is well.
Hope this helps someone else.

The reinforcement strips are composed of a second compound containing a thermoplastic elastomer and a polypropylene homopolymer.
|COMPRESSION RESISTANT FLOATING HOSE FOR REELING APPLICATIONS - Floating hose is normally comprised of a carcass that is covered with a layer of foam to provide buoyancy. The foam can be deformed and compressed by being repeatedly reeled onto a drum under conditions of high axial forces (reeling forces plus hose weight). The propensity for the foam layer to become compressed is aggravated in typical conditions where the hose is stored on a reel for extended periods and is on the reel more than it is in the water. In any case, compression damage causes the hose to lose buoyancy which can ultimately result in the hose sinking under conditions of normal use. It would accordingly be desirable to develop a floating hose that minimized the permanent damage caused by the foam layer being compressed to high levels over and over again. The floating hose of this invention is resistant to damage that can be caused by axial forces, such as those encountered while being collected on a reel. More specifically, the floating hose of this invention is not as susceptible to being damaged by compression as conventional floating hoses. This is by virtue of the floating hoses of this invention including anti-compression collars that protect the floatation medium therein from damage that can occur during routine usage. This extends the service life of the floating hoses of this invention and reduces their propensity to lose buoyancy over time. The present invention more specifically discloses a floating hose comprising: a carcass having an inside and an outside; a plurality of anti-compression collars interspaced around the carcass; a floatation medium surrounding said hose carcass and said anti-compression collars, and an outer cover, wherein said outer cover covers said floating medium and said anti-compression collars.

The non-halogenated rubber compound is fire-resistant in accordance with MSHA standards and produces acceptable levels of toxicity and smoke upon burning. Such non-halogenated rubber compound includes a blend of rubbery polymers in combination with aluminum trihydrate, which is a fire retardant, and optionally a phosphate plasticizer, which can provide the rubber compound with a more desirable workability. The blend of rubbery polymers is composed of natural rubber and butadiene rubber, and optionally styrene-butadiene rubber, such blend being present in a total amount of 100 phr. In one embodiment, the aluminum trihydrate is present in an amount of about 30 phr to about 150 phr. In another embodiment, the phosphate plasticizer is present in an amount of about 10 phr to about 60 phr.
|HOSE HAVING A SINGLE REINFORCING LAYER - In one embodiment, a hose is provided which includes a tubular inner core layer and a tubular outer layer. A single reinforcing layer is disposed between the tubular inner core layer and the tubular outer layer and is formed strands having a 1-over, 1-under braid pattern, a 3-over, 3-under braid pattern, or a 4-over, 4-under braid pattern. The strands define a coverage of the tubular inner core layer of at least about 75%.
|EASY-TO-INSTALL AIR SPRING - An air spring generally comprises a first end closure, a flexible member coupled to the first end closure and defining a pressurizable chamber, and a first mounting member projecting from the first end closure in a first direction. The first mounting member has an outer surface with a plurality of barbs projecting outward from the outer surface. The barbs have a spaced arrangement along the first direction.

The piston further includes at least one mounting boss for providing off-set mounting of the piston to a support. The at least one mounting boss has a geometric center that is spaced from the centerline of the inner cavity. Additionally, substantially the entire piston may be formed from a plastic. The piston may further include a support structure having at least one strut that does not intersect the centerline of the inner cavity.
|METHOD FOR TREATING TEXTILE MATERIAL FOR USE IN REINFORCED ELASTOMERIC ARTICLES - The invention is directed to a method for treating a textile material with a crosslinkable high density polyethylene based elastomer compound, such treated material for use in reinforced elastomeric articles. In one embodiment, a crosslinkable high density polyethylene based elastomer compound is applied in particle form to a surface of a textile material having a plurality of interstices. The particles are of a size no greater than about 35 mesh and include a peroxide curing agent. Next, the particles are melted so as to impregnate the interstices of the textile material with the compound. Then, the compound is crosslinked in-situ via the peroxide curing agent. In one example, the rubber compound includes about 80 parts per hundred cross-linkable material (phcm) to 100 phcm crosslinkable high density polyethylene. The resulting textile material may be used as a facing fabric, e.g., in a reinforced elastomeric article, such as a toothed power transmission belt.
|TREADMILL BELT WITH FOAMED CUSHION LAYER AND METHOD OF MAKING - The present invention is directed to a treadmill belt with foamed cushion layer and method of making same. In one embodiment, the treadmill belt includes a fabric base layer and a foamed cushion layer foamed on and integral with the fabric base layer. The foamed cushion layer includes a thermoplastic composition and has a Shore A hardness of about 20 to about 80. In one example, the first foamed cushion layer is from about 0.05 inches to about 0.35 inches thick. The thermoplastic composition, prior to being foamed, includes about 1 part to about 5 parts of a foaming agent, e.g., a chemical foaming agent, based on 100 parts thermoplastic material, e.g., polyvinyl chloride. An outer wear layer is securely adhered on the foamed cushion layer to sandwich the foamed cushion layer between the fabric base layer and outer wear layer thereby defining the treadmill belt.
|SENSOR SYSTEM FOR CONVEYOR BELT - A conveyor belt includes at least one rip detection sensor having at least two cords, each cord formed in an endless loop and arranged in a signal inverting configuration, and at least one cross connector connecting the at least two cords so as to arrange the at least two cords in a parallel configuration. The sensor provides a redundancy feature such that should one cord break, the remaining cord allows the sensor to continue operation. The parallel configuration of the cords reduces overall resistance of the sensor and extends the sensor life as the conveyor belt wears.
|HOSE ASSEMBLY HAVING VARIED REINFORCING LAYERS - A hydraulic brake hose assembly has a core hose layer, a first reinforcing layer over the core hose layer, an intermediate hose layer, a second reinforcing layer over the intermediate hose layer, and an outer hose layer over the second reinforcing layer. The first reinforcing layer has a braid pattern formed in a 4-over, 4-under pattern, and the second reinforcing layer has a braid pattern formed in a 3-over, 3-under pattern.

In Jeff Cole's plenary, he outlines the stresses — and opportunities — for various forms of media. Some takeaway messages:
- While film, music and print will survive (and thrive), it may be as smaller industries, especially on the web.
- This is not true of television, which will remains significant and immensely popular.
- On the web newspapers and magazines become like TV and compete like never before
- Television and web: terms only distinguish where they originated.

Re:Features VS Furnishings
9 Months, 3 Weeks ago
If given my choice, I would prefer DF to focus on tiles and features as opposed to dressing. While I do love the dressing, I can get nice dressing everywhere. I can not find tiles and features in dwarvenite in too many place.
This is not to knock DF dressing, but If I have to choose I would prefer their focus to be on tiles and features.
I would put i a plug for Flights of Fancy. nice detail, great work, can customize paint if you ask.
Order 66? Is that the kung pao chicken?

Re:Features VS Furnishings

It seems to me that DF has figured that their best course is to focus on tiles / features. Particularly with the the multiple options offered by their two lines of resin and Game Tiles, it really puts them head and shoulders above the competition, and better suits their relatively slow-restocking business model. (It seems like dressings are best done in a more reactive fashion, where small batches of individual pieces can be made / ordered as needed.)
I think their dungeon dressings are great but as others have said there are numerous other places where one can get nice stuff in that category... though it might involve a lot of hunting and shipping expense. Personally I'd be more keen to see, say, a Game Tiles version of their medieval buildings set, or other modular sets. Though I'm also delighted when there are a few dressings among the stretch goals.
...I also wish that some of their individual dressing pieces could be ordered as single pieces / small sets, particularly things like the secret doors. But, again, I'm not sure that's very easy for them to do based on the way they order large batches at large intervals.

Re:Features VS Furnishings

I certainly
DF sold more accessories. The Dwarvenite line must be creating a larger market for these pieces, so it would be a shame not to be able to capitalize on it with in-house products. Regrettably, I think it's unrealistic for that to happen right now. They'd need a really good licensing arrangement, but the profit margins would be too low for that to work.
Otherwise, I'm with the general consensus: too much has to be bought piecemeal from a dozen different overseas vendors.
My dungeons are going to be bare for a while.

If DF keeps having KSs each year they could add a lot of accessories/furnishings to their line as add ons. They would not all have to be made of Dwarvenite. Heck they could say if they sold less that a certain amount they would be made of strong resin and if over they would be Dwarenite.

What would you need a licensing agreement for?... Stephan can sculpt or they could commission sculptors to sculpt accessories.
@Everyone else who commented about DF doing accessories,
I don't see doing accessories as taking away that much focus from the tiles. To me it's a perfect fit and adds not only another, more consistent revenue stream to the business, but it also helps in a couple other ways:
1. A lot of people selling accessories or complimentary pieces actually use the DF IP as a very prominent marketing feature ("Compatible with Dwarven Forge", etc.), regardless if their stuff is perfectly compatible or not, or whether it's of the same quality/standards. DF seems to be the only company that's not really taking advantage of their own IP in that regard. They really should be, just on that basis alone. By creating a line of accessories that you can control the quality of and match to your pieces, you create that much stronger of a brand.
2. It can fill the gap for buyers between restocking of the resin sets. It also helps buyers get value for their dollar... every one of you has made the point that purchasing accessories from various other retailers (often overseas with larger shipping charges) can begin to add up.
3. I want to stress the point of revenue stream again. If your business model is reliant on restocking every year or 1.5 years that means you put yourself in a continual boom and bust cycle. Ever walk into a physical store and see the shelves half empty? Not many people look at that in a good light. It erodes customer confidence and can put serious strain on a company to the point that small factors can affect the business in serious ways. Take the increase in resin costs. That will inevitably factor into the closing of some shops within a year. A miniature business that has a steady revenue stream will probably be able to weather such changes much more easily.
Now, as it stands, the Kickstarter model and the new line of dwarvenite tiles seems to be a huge benefit for DF and, I would bet, is probably saving their butts. However, I think it's also providing a good opportunity that could allow them to further expand their product line (still within reason) and further grow the DF brand and reclaim it a bit from everyone else who's using it in marketing their accessories.

My thinking is that DF is still a small business, and expanding too fast carries some risk. Both production methods in resin and PVC require a long time to bring new products market. I'm sure we'll see some interesting accessories in the next Kickstarter, but it could otherwise take years to build a range of pieces.

Re:Features VS Furnishings
9 Months, 3 Weeks ago
While growing too fast can be a business risk, so can growing too slow, especially with a new, innovative product line (Dwarvenite).
If DF is too slow to keep up with what people want, and can't keep sets in stock, eventually someone else will seize upon the opportunity to have something similar in stock that people will say is "good enough" rather than waiting and eventually business starts to decline.
Happens all the time; look at any business industry and when the front man gets complacent and relies on their brand name to propel them, but don't keep up with those who want their market spot, they lose it.
DF has me worried with their consistent out of stock resin options. I understand that they're expensive to produce and they're shifting their product line, but I'm still worried. I hope they do better at keeping the GT in stock than they have in resin.
MBS and Catacombs in Dwarvenite, please!

Kickin' Parkinson's One Lap at a Time
Going the distance to find a cure. A local patient enlists the community to help her kick a disease.
Susan Kauffman: "When I get in the water there are no symptoms. No symptoms whatsoever."
It's her place of refuge. A competitive swimmer in college, Susan Kauffman comes here to wash away the physical reminders of her disease.
Susan Kauffman: "Something was very apparent to me in February 2005. My pinky was shaking and whenever I would sit down my leg would start shaking. I didn't think anything of it."
But in time, her symptoms got worse. In early 2006, she made an appointment with a movement specialist.
Susan Kauffman: "Within five minutes of seeing this doctor she said right away, 'You have Parkinson's Disease.' No way could that be me. No way. At that point I had just turned 39. My boys had just turned three. It took me a while to swallow the word Parkinson's."
Susan was among the 10% of patients diagnosed before the age of 50. It's called early onset Parkinson's. For years she struggled to accept the news, even keeping it from her kids.
Susan Kauffman: "When my daughter was in fourth grade, her teachers told me I had to tell her what was going on. Once I said 'No, this isn't going to kill me, it's just the shaking and everything,' she just had such a sigh of relief. I realized I've got to make it part of my everyday life. I can't hide it. I'm not ashamed."
Then, in 2009, another turning point. She read Michael J. Fox's memoir, Lucky Man. The actor's story helped Susan start a new chapter in her life.
Susan Kauffman: "I just picked something out of it that made me feel like he knew what I was talking about. He was young when he got it and he's done a lot of work for all us with Parkinson's. I don't know if we would be where we are without his foundation."
So she dove in to help the cause and asked friends and family to jump in, too, and log laps for dollars to support the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
Susan Kauffman: "Being a swimmer my entire life and being in the aquatics area here at Midtown, they backed me 1000 percent. The first year I raised over $60,000. Second year over $45,000. I don't want to be a victim. I want to go out and help and raise money and if we can find a cure, let's go find a cure."
The fourth annual Kickin' Parkinson's One Lap at a Time fundraiser will take place this Sunday, October 28, at Midtown Athletic Club in Bannockburn. Anyone is welcome to participate.

Yummy food for your brood
May 21, 2010
Chefs Share: Spinach Brownies
Try this family pleasing recipe from Chef Frank Turner, food and nutrition director at the Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital – and read some of his insights in our Q&A!
Would you choose hospital fare for your next date night? Maybe you should. Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital, which opened its doors just over a year ago, features not only a restaurant, Henry's Cafe, where chefs are on-hand to craft your meal as you watch, but they also offer a state-of-the-art kitchen demonstration area, where you can learn a variety of cooking techniques and nutritional helps to improve what you offer at home.
The chef behind the new concept of tastier, better-for-you hospital food is Frank Turner, a Michigan native and a passionate advocate for locally produced, sustainable products. Chef Turner has a long history in Michigan's top restaurants as well as volunteering in Detroit-area food kitchens. Today, as the director of food and nutrition and executive chef at Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital, Chef Turner is helping patients learn how to choose foods that will help aid in their recovery – and he's lending his expertise to cooking courses offered to the public at the demonstration kitchen. Classes fill up quickly, so enroll early. But to get your own experience with fresh fare, head to Henry's Cafe any night of the week or stop by on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when there's a farmers market open onsite.
What three ingredients do you always keep stocked in your pantry?
Olive oil, quinoa and dried fruit. I love dried Turkish apricots, as long as they're sulfate free.
How about your favorite meal?
Chicken dumplings. It's my grandmother's recipe and she always served it, and then my mother. You make it by poaching chicken in stock (gently simmering the meat in the flavored liquid). Then you take out the chicken, pull the meat off the bone and reserve it while you cook the dumplings. Once the dumplings are cooked, you take them off and cook down the broth until it thickens – and there's your stock. The chicken is always tender. And my mother would serve it with some sort of braised vegetable to the side.
We all have a favorite indulgence; for a foodie like you it must be something spectacular?
Snickers! I don't have them very often, but I like a great big, king-size classic Snickers bar with a glass of milk. But it's a toss up between that and Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies.
What's one of your worst cooking mistakes?
I've done it all – burnt the soup, opened the blender when it's going, burned the heck out of myself. The silliest thing I ever did, though, was when I forgot to label some stock [broth] that I made for a sauce that went with a special recipe. It was a short-rib lamb dish. I had to get the pieces cut especially for the dish. I had created this stock using boar bones and fowl venison. It was probably the best stock I've ever made. Well, someone used it in the soup that day and I didn't have anything for my special dish so I had to improvise. The dish turned out fine, but I must say that was one really good soup. Great beef barley!
There are so many great Michigan-made food products. What is your pick?
Asparagus. Michigan asparagus has a distinct flavor that you don't find anywhere else. It has a nutty flavor. I like to grill it and then serve it with cracked pepper, citrus zest and a splash of Manchego or Parmesan cheese.
What do you suggest for first-timers to Henry's Cafe? What menu item should they make sure to try?
The American station, burger of the day – you'll find that it's never a beef hamburger. It'll be something besides ground beef – white fish burger or a chickpea burger, quinoa and black bean burger – but it won't be a ground beef burger. (There are seven chef-manned stations to choose from.)
If you'd like to sample one of Chef Turner's recipes at home, try putting together his nutritional-packed spinach brownies. The dessert includes a puree of blueberry and spinach for a boost of anti-oxidants that blends perfectly with the intense chocolate flavor.
