I was so excited learning how to print on Burlap with my computer printer when I made my Homemade Burlap Print that I decided to keep creating that day and made a Burlap Pennant Banner. I choose the word LOVE for Valentines Day but, I plan to make more for different Holidays and you could adapt the method for Holiday's, Birthday's, Wedding's, Baby Shower's and personalizing any bedroom decor.
You will need Burlap, Freezer Paper, Computer, Printer, Twine or Jute and Sewing Machine or Needle and Thread.
So first you will have to refer to my Homemade Burlap Print for the complete instructions of ironing on your freezer paper to your Burlap to create an 8.5×11 burlap freezer paper sheet.
Next put your burlap/freezer paper into your printer…only make sure you have it loaded the correct way for it to feed and print on the Burlap. {I realized after I took this picture mine was loaded upside down.}
Create your bunting banner on your computer. I've posted the 2 files you can try to copy and use if you want the word LOVE on your banner. I printed 2 sheets of burlap with one having LO and the other had VE.
So you should have something like this below. I don't think I've had my burlap pushed back in the paper feeder enough so it cut off part of the printing…no fear though because I just trimmed off the black outline anyway and created equal size pennants.
Here I have all my pennants cut out.
Next, I stitched around the edges of each pennant with my sewing machine using red thread. It got dark so I didn't get a good picture of this step. You don't have to but, I would suggest it to keep it from fraying.
I used a red clothes line twine I picked up from the dollar store and stitched the pennants with my sewing machine to the twine.
I love it with my Heart Felt Garland I made a few weeks ago strung across my mantel. Again endless possibilities of banners you could create for any holiday.

Play Real iPad Strategy Game: World in War
World War II still disturbs minds of the youth worldwide, as teenagers, students and real iPad gamers love controlling the fate of their nation even though it is virtual control via playing various video games.
Would you like to lead German soldiers while they invade Poland? Or do you wish to help Soviet armies to outwit their enemies in World War II by protecting their borders till the end? Or maybe you want to guide Allied armies through the battles competing with other iPad users online. Actually, you may choose whatever you like, playing World in War on your tablet PC.
World in War is a multiplayer game released by PAN Vision. This strategy game for iPad showcases WW2 in Europe, and it offers you hours of mind twisting pleasure as you decide the fortune and future of your nation.
How to Play: Tips
- Multiplayer game: As this game is turn-based, you can enjoy a multiplayer mode with short delays between turns. This is pretty cool, since you and your friends can play at the same time without having to wait until each gamer completes his moves. Just be very attentive, as you are never certain where your opponents are heading to.
- Playing against the computer: If you wish to play against your iDevice, your goal is to complete all the objectives in order to win.
- Playing against other people: If you want to compete against other gamers, play World in War online via OpenFeint. World in War is OpenFeint enabled. Of course, you can skip this feature, and enjoy the gameplay only. Or, you can register in OpenFeint for free to see leaderboards, achievements, challenges and discuss various excellent iPad games with millions of other gamers worldwide.
You can also play against your friends on your iPad. Just hand it over to the next player when you asked to do so.
- Battle for funds: Keep in mind that in order to win a scenario, you need to get more income from the regions you invade. You can produce new units if you have production centers.
- Strategies: You can buy new strategies, but it's kind of risky, since you get random strategies with each purchase. Use your logic and apply them at the right moment to earn more income and win the battle.
- Easy-to-move: To move your soldiers to a new region, press an army and drag it wherever you wish to move. If you order your army to move into a sea region, it will be automatically transferred to ships.
Cool Features:
- online multiplayer (challenge your friends via OpenFeint);
- three campaigns: Land battle, Sea battle and Border battle;
- 13 historically inspired scenarios;
- realistic region based maps;
- 4 available units: infantry, tanks, artillery and ships;
- challenging music;
- bunkers, paratroopers, airstrikes and other strategies.
Price and Compatibility
You can download this strategy game for $2.99 via iTunes or App Store. It supports five languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, and Italian. Sadly it doesn't support Russian language, but those Russian iPad fans who wish to play for the former USSR should probably study English or use the help of an interpreter.
World in War requires iOS 3.0 or later, and it is designed for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.
Warning: This game has pretty realistic violence, so it's suggested for gamers who are in love with war and strategy gaming and have stable psyche.

Too Big
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
My chest measures 40" but the XL is WAY too large and the L is still too big across the shoulders. I would recommend ordering by your t-shirt size. :-)
It looks like the Snow Flex Force Pro will provide some nice protection and comfort when I try snowboarding for the first time and give snowkiting a try on Lake Winnipesaukee. I can't wait!
I'm 5'8' 160lbs and the Medium is a perfect fit for me..love the soft velcro straps on the elbow pads so you can really dial in where you want the pads to stay based on your arm length...

I found this glass-covered tray in the attic of parent's estate. It's 18" long and 12" wide with a basket-like matrix with two handles on each end. The butterflies and plants used to decorate it appear to be real and they are pressed into what looks like a silk background. I was curious when this type of folk-art and handcraft was popular and what would be a reasonable price to ask if I decide to sell it. Here is photo:

Follow-Up Postings:
Seems to me those things are from the 1920's and 30's...but it could be done any time...I have a similar piece done in a picture frame that was done about 4 years ago....but the tray looks older than that. What to ask? $20?....maybe $30. Very likely the one who buys it will take the flowers and butterflys out and spray paint the tray "shabby chic"....sigh... Linda C |
My guess is fifties and Japan. I have several lamps with shades made of rice paper with ferns and real butterflies pressed between the layers. Purchased in fifties in Japan.Those sorts of things were popular with G.I.s to bring home as momentoes. |
I bought what I thought was a painted tray (didnt have my glasses on LOL)at a garage sale for 3 dollars. When I got it home on closer inspection I saw the entire tray was made up of different butterfly species. It was from Brazil, I checked on ebay and they had a similar one, not as nice for 75 dollars...I just checked Ebay, they have Brazilian, Japanese and Austrian trays, would be interesting to find out what country started making them and how it spread around the world.....No clue as to age tho... |

So this week in my inbox, along with petitions from the anti-horse-and-carriage folks (signed), anti-ex-gay-torture-clinics-in-Ecuador folks (signed), and a request to "like" United to End Genocide on Facebook (done), landed a little gem of a petition from MomRising.org, urging moms to protest Gymboree's gender-obsessed clothing—specifically, boys' onesies that say "Smart Like Daddy" and a girls' version that says "Pretty Like Mommy." Seriously, Gymboree? What's with sticking infants in sexist gender stereotypes? the petition asked. I signed it, of course, because the onesie sayings are seriously egregious. But oh, MomRising. If only it were the one store guilty of such nonsense. Been inside the kids' department at Macy's lately? Or Old Navy? Or even flicked through the Hanna Andersson website? Hyper-pink on one side. Dull blues and tans on the other. It's assaultive. And it takes a focused determination to reach across the aisle and shop on both sides for your one boy or girl.
At a time when societal definitions of gender are becoming more and more blurred—at least from my queer perspective—it seems that gender lines for children (certainly for children's clothing) are getting more and more aggressively defined. And it's the marketing of those rules that's got toddlers brainwashed with ideas of what is and what is not okay for little girls and boys. And the repercussions of that, to me, are chilling.
It's all been on my mind lately, even before the Gymboree petition, as I've been trying in vain to buy a new pair of shoes for my 3-year-old. In vain, because Lula has suddenly discovered her hyper-femme, girly-girliness, and only wants footwear that is pink and shiny and sequined. And my partner and I are not so sure how we feel about it.
I grew up on the girly side—I had shiny black Mary Janes and loved dresses and lived for evenings spent with pretty babysitters who would blow-dry my hair and polish my nails. For my partner, wearing a dress was a punishment. A bad one. So we understand that kids are hardwired toward different ends of the gender spectrum, and if Lula wants to dress as a tiara-wearing fairy for Halloween and eat her dinner in a tutu and lavender feather boa from her dress-up bag, then by all means, we support it. I mean, at least she has a gender-nonspecific imaginary friend ("Her name is John. She's from Africa. And sometimes she's a he.") and knows the difference between Miss Richfield and Dina Martina (thank you, P-town!) and has an amazing Uncle George who wears pink Converse high-tops.
But still: pink sequined Mary Janes? No can do. We're not even entirely sure why, but we've been processing it all week, natch, and we think it goes something like this: Just by walking into a shoe store, Lula's being sold a bill of goods—gentle little impractical-for-winter Mary Janes in sparkly pastels for her, cute and rugged little butch booties in chocolates and grays for John (well, not exactly for John, but you get my point). When I suggested a pair of the cozy brown booties, she said, "Mama, those are not for girls," and it stopped me cold. We'd never told her that, she doesn't watch TV, she's not in school yet, and—the clincher—I was wearing my unsexy but beloved brown Dansko clogs at the time. Still, she's somehow learned it. And we want to spend lots more time letting her know that it's actually not the truth—not our truth, anyway. And then, just maybe (and if she's not moved on), some sequined shoes.

Kaliber Beer | Nonalcoholic Beer | |

Kaliber beer is brewed by Guiness in Ireland. For those who are not beer aficionados, Guiness is well-known as the dark beer of choice by many beer drinkers. It does seem impressive that a dark, heavy beer like Guiness would brew a non alcoholic variety. Kaliber is a non alcoholic beer. There are a number of non alcoholic beers on the market. The most readily available are brands called O'Doules or Sharps. Most people who have ranked these non alcoholic beers have ranked Kaliber as a better tasting beer than the competition.
The beer has been ranked by aroma, appearance, mouthfeel and flavor. In aroma, the Kaliber beer has been ranked by a beer website with numbers ranging from 5 out of 10 to 7 out of 10. The appearance is more static with many tasters ranking it as high as 9 out of 10. Some of these even noted that it has a nice light honey color and offers a creamy off white colored head. For those who enjoy a stiff head on their beer, this appearance quality surprises many - especially in a non alcoholic variety. For most that ranked the 'mouthfeel' of the beer, it ranked a full 10 points out of 10. The feel of the Kaliber is not much different than a full alcoholic beer. Flavor ranks in the 8 to 9 out of 10 range. This is what wins over many of the full alcohol brew drinkers. It tastes like a full alcohol beer, not weak and faint like so many other non alcohol and even some of the very light beers on the market. It is brewed as a full strength lager, but at the end of the brewing process the alcohol is removed. Guiness has done a great job of producing a beer that is non alcoholic without sacrificing the taste and 'girth' of the beer. Only beer drinkers would understand how different this is from other non alcoholic beers available. When most people discusses non alcoholic beers, the first thing that comes to mind is a watered down version of a very pale beer. But Guiness, known for its very dark beer, has turned the tide on this thought process. They have produced a beer that is non alcoholic, but tastes, looks, smells and feels like a real honest to goodness beer to a beer drinker. Kaliber beer has gone above and beyond what beer drinkers have come to expect in a non alcoholic beer. It gives the beer drinker that does not want the alcohol, no matter what the reason, the feeling of having a beer without sacrificing the good taste of a true beer. This is accomplished because Guinness goes to the trouble of brewing the beer first through the complete brewing process and then removing the alcohol. Cabernet Malbec |

It was magnificent, as I would expect. . . I love travel in rainy season. . . Travel Off Season ...and I come up with the sunny side of the rainy season . . . there are some pretty cool upsides to the rainy season - Low numbers of travellers . . . Better sleep - Woken up in the middle of the night by its beginning, the woosh of a heavy pour is the best lullaby : ) . . . The smell - The smell after the rain is one of life's great pleasures, and with a cup of tasty nepali tea in the mix. it can be the most relaxing moments ever . . . Act like a kid - when its rain, take door number two and just go for it . . . take off your shoes and act like a kid again. You're getting wet anyway.So,enjoy it. :-)

UN Special Rapporteur Calls for Legal Actions Against Destruction of Palestinian Property, Disengagement from Gaza will Not End Israel's Occupation
Excerpts from the Report of the Special Rapporteur of the Commission on Human Rights, John Dugard, on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel since 1967, submitted in accordance with Commission resolution 1993/2 A,12 August 2004
According to UNRWA's records, from the beginning of the second intifada to 30 June 2004, a total of 2,272 shelters accommodating 4,072 families (21,453 persons) had been completely demolished or damaged beyond repair in the Gaza Strip during Israeli military activities. Of them, 1886 shelters accommodated 3338 refugee families (17,831 persons). Out of this group, 2,771 families (15,198 persons) were identified as being eligible for assistance under the Agency's re-housing scheme. Of those already identified as eligible, 2,094 families (11,231 persons) are refugees residing in Rafah.
Following a recent visit to the 1967 occupied Palestinian territories, UN Special Rapporteur John Dugard called for legal action against persons responsible for the massive demolition of Palestinian homes.
"The Special Rapporteur visited Block "O", the Brazil Quarter and the Tel Es Sultan neighbourhood of Rafah in the wake of Operation Rainbow carried out by the IDF in May 2004 and met with families that had been rendered homeless in the exercise. In Operation Rainbow, 43 persons were killed, including 8 who were killed in a peaceful demonstration on 19 May. From 18 to 24 May, a total of 167 buildings were destroyed or rendered uninhabitable. These buildings housed 379 families (2,066 individuals). These demolitions occurred during one of the worst months in Rafah's recent history. During May, 298 buildings, housing 710 families (3,800 individuals), were demolished in Rafah. Since the start of the intifada in September 2000, 1,497 buildings have been demolished in Rafah, affecting over 15,000 people. The Special Rapporteur was appalled at the evidence of wanton destruction inflicted upon Rafah. The Special Rapporteur is mindful of article 53 of the Fourth Geneva Convention which provides that any destruction by the occupying Power of personal property is prohibited except when such destruction is rendered absolutely necessary by military operations and that failure to comply with this prohibition constitutes a grave breach in terms of article 147 of the Fourth Geneva Convention requiring prosecution of the offenders. The time has come for the international community to identify those responsible for this savage destruction of property and to take the necessary legal action against them." [Emphasis added]
Dugard also commented on Israel's claim that disengagement from the Gaza Strip will end Israel's 37 year occupation.
"Israel sees the political advantages in withdrawing from Gaza. In particular, it claims that it would no longer be categorized as an occupying Power in the territory subject to the Fourth Geneva Convention. In reality, however, Israel does not plan to relinquish its grasp on the Gaza Strip. It plans to maintain its authority by controlling Gaza's borders, territorial sea and airspace. That Israel intends to retain ultimate control over Gaza is clear from the Israeli disengagement plan of April 2004. This disengagement plan states in respect of Gaza, inter alia, that "The State of Israel will supervise and maintain the external land envelope, have exclusive control of the air space of Gaza and continue to carry out military activity in the Gaza Strip's maritime space. ... The State of Israel will continue to maintain a military presence along the border line between the Gaza Strip and Egypt (the Philadelphi route). This presence is a vital security need. In certain places a physical broadening of the area in which this military activity is carried out may be required." Another means of control that is being contemplated is the installation of high-tech listening devices in major buildings in the Gaza Strip in order to enable the Israeli authorities to monitor communications. This means that Israel will remain an occupying Power under international law. The test for application of the legal regime of occupation is not whether the occupying Power fails to exercise effective control over the territory, but whether it has the ability to exercise such power, a principle confirmed by the United States Military Tribunal in In re List and others (The Hostages Case) of 1948. It is essential that the international community take cognizance of the nature of Israel's proposed withdrawal and of its continuing obligations under the Fourth Geneva Convention."
Report of the Special Rapporteur of the Commission on Human Rights on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel since 1967, UN Doc. A/59/256, 12 August 2004.

New RFID and old tickets
I have passes that I bought last year and did not use due to having to cancel my trip. When I check in to WL, will I receive new tix that work with the RFID entrances? Thanks for any info!
I'm sure someone who knows more will correct me if I'm wrong. ;) |
I think that as more people post about their RFID experiences I will find out for sure. Thanks for responding! |
Why bother? There really is no advantage to using RFID tickets as compared to any others.

I posted on the Bathroom forum to get ideas for addressing the exposed (and very poorly done) plumbing on my new sink console. Someone there asked me what the black pipe was on the right side, and I have no idea (I had not really even noticed it amidst all the mess). Looks like it is from a dishwasher... Can anyone offer any insight as to what this is and what its purpose would be? I would like to have more information before I go back and talk with the plumber. Thanks in advance! |

That it is |
"Just figured out it is for AC condensation from the new upstairs HVAC unit that sits above this bath." If that is what it is the connection is probably illegal under the plumbing codes. You need an indirect wast with an air gap. |
Using a DW Tee like that constitutes an indirect waste with an air gap, same as for dishwashers. That is why draining dishwashers gurgle in the sink drain. |

arg! The plumbing inspector was just here this morning and did not have any issues with it BUT I wish I had been here to ask about it - i feel like I am a day late and a dollar short on this whole bathroom project. If code is not an issue, are there other issues I should be concerned about with this set up? thanks in advance for everyone's expertise. |
It's fine, there are millions of installs exactly like it in the south, my Texas home has 2 The air gap is at the p- trap near the AC coil, or should be |
"Using a DW Tee like that constitutes an indirect waste with an air gap, same as for dishwashers." And that is not allowed in many areas. The air gap for the DW is on the counter near the sink (and ugly). If anything starts to smell in the drain line before the trap it can end up in the HVAC depending on how the AC coil is set up (input or output side of the blower). |

Boston Electrolysis®
7330 E. Earll Drive #J
Where Electrolysis Is Practiced As Scientific Art With a Medical Approach©
Kimberly Williams, R.E. Dean Massachusetts Licensed & Registered Electrologist, 1979 Utah Licensed & Registered Electrologist. Board Certified Electrologist In Massachusetts & Utah. BOSTON ELECTROLYSIS® PRIVATE PRACTICE© For Safe, Permanent Hair Removal. Private Appointments with Kimberly Williams, R.E., Dean "Guest Lecturer of Harvard School from 1983-1987." America's First Computer Electrology-Electrolysis Specialist. Three Computerized Techniques: Short-Wave-Galvanic-Blend. By Appointment ONLY. Serving Metro Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Glendale, Arizona
For a No Fee Consultation & ask about my written Guarantee of Excellence.
Waiting Room Treatment Room Electrolysis Equipment
No Nonsense for Boston Electrolysis Private Practice for safe permanent hair removal announces the opening of metropolitan Phoenix areas first woman's electrolysis clinic for patients with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and endocrine disorders that cause unwanted facial hair problems. Founded by Kimberly Williams, R.E. Dean and Barbara Lipschitz, M.D. of Central Phoenix Medical Clinic is for women who have a minor, moderate or severe unwanted facial hair problem. Until recently most women who have this type of unwanted facial hair problem and condition have believed that this particular endocrine disorder is hopeless and non-treatable. Nevertheless, new advances in medicine and professional cooperation between the physician and the electrologist have made this specialized treatment a successful reality.
Kimberly Williams, R.E., Dean of Boston School of Electrolysis™ of Scottsdale, Arizona and Barbara Lipschitz, M.D. of Central Phoenix Medical Clinic, Phoenix Arizona have combined their resources. In this joint effort we want all women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and other endocrine disorders to be aware that their unwanted hair problems are not hopeless.
Kimberly Williams, R.E., Dean of Boston School of Electrolysis™ and Barbara Lipschitz, M.D. of Central Phoenix Medical Clinic Arizona want all women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome to know there are new treatments, medications and procedures that will counter-act this endocrine imbalance that stimulates unwanted facial hair growth from minor severe. It's a known fact that women with polycystic ovaries end up frustrated after trying every form of temporary hair removal such as waxing, plucking, shaving and even laser parlor treatments that can make your unwanted hair problem ten times worse than it was to begin with.
Additionally, most residents of Arizona are not aware that there is no license and registration or required education to practice electrolysis and temporary laser hair removal in Arizona. It is known fact in professional circles that only experienced licensed and registered electrologists possess the basic education in theoretically applied medical sciences coupled with practical application to successfully treat minor, moderate and severe unwanted facial hair problems caused by Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and other endocrine disorders.
So when you arrive at Boston School of Electrolysis I do a thorough medical evaluation using
The Electrologists Diagnostic Case History©
which includes and records a detailed medical status of your condition that causes unwanted facial hair problems. From there we can start your treatment although at same time you have a direct referral to Barbara Lipschitz, M.D., Internal Medicine Specialist who will implement your medical diagnostics, blood chemistry, medications and procedures and over all treatment program to correct and control the hormonal imbalance that started your unwanted hair problem.
Women with polycystic ovaries and other endocrine disorders (glandular disorders) need to know that electrolysis has new methods and techniques. Example up until ten years ago most electrologists could only treat the symptoms of polycystic ovaries, which is, unwanted facial hair. However most women do not know why this causes their unwanted hair problem. To state it most simply polycyclic ovaries interfere with or block the absorption of estrogen into your system. Additionally most women do not know, as part of their genetic character that women also produce male hormones. With the estrogen being blocked and your body being unable to absorb it into the system the male hormones become predominant and that stimulates excess FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormones). From that point on that's when your unwanted hair problem starts.
Fact, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome causes male secondary characteristics such as unwanted facial hair, weight gain, acne, male receding hairline, deepening of voice and other complications. However with today's modern medicine the right diagnosis, medications, treatments and procedures polycystic ovaries can be successfully managed and the affects of the male hormones counter-acted with a diuretic and estrogen supplement. Once you have eliminated the root cause of your hair problem you will be amazed at how effective your electrolysis treatments become in addition your skin will become clear soft and supple. Additionally, your energy level will increase and with this renewed energy coupled with diet and exercise weight loss becomes possible and your over all health improves. In my professional opinion nothing is more damaging to a woman's self-esteem and overall health and appearance when she has an unwanted facial hair problem caused by polycystic ovaries that are left untreated.
Fact, endocrine and genetic unwanted facial hair problems from minor to severe have always been my specialty. Additionally it is important for every woman with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome to be knowledgeable about her health. From past professional experiences I know when your electrologist and physician team up and coordinate your electrolysis treatments with medications your results can be from moderate to completely clear. It is known facts women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome who receive the right medical care often attain their goal of complete permanent hair removal, regained health and emotional well-being.
On the other hand to successfully treat unwanted facial hair caused by polycystic ovaries effectively one must take the time and make the effort and be patient. Without one doubt I believe in my professional ability to provide you this specialized treatment that's is based on scientific fact, medical care and skilled practical application of my technique. For the record I know exactly how frustrating it is to have a minor, moderate or severe unwanted facial hair problem that's why I became an electrologist. If you are ready, willing and able to take the first step I'll be glad to be your electrologist.
Nevertheless I want all women to know if you have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and other endocrine disorders that cause your unwanted facial hair problems to be aware that results vary. However, it is my professional opinion and experience that patients undergoing coordinated treatment achieve the best results. Additionally, other benefits from coordinated treatment include increased energy, weight loss and emotional well-being. Without one doubt a woman with a moderate to severe unwanted facial hair problem caused by Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome has an uphill battle and it would be my pleasure to help achieve your goal of a hair free complexion.
Summation, your best electrologists are always educated, trained, tested licensed and registered. Fact, I always remember my time at Miss Kelly's School Of Electrolysis and I would recall students in my class who would say, "What do I need to learn about endocrinology for, I'll never use this?" Often student electrologists who question the need for theoretical sciences assume is not necessary because they have been led to believe that electrolysis is about treating the hair only. Wrong, the base knowledge of theoretical sciences that I learned provided me with the ability not only to use that knowledge but also to expand and build upon it. Fact, electrolysis is an exact procedure of attrition and when you eliminate, contain or reduce the root cause of your unwanted facial hair problem it can only expedite and reduce the amount of time needed to treat and permanently remove those unwanted hairs. In addition, patients with endocrine disorders not only rid themselves of their unwanted facial hair problem but also gain an improved complexion along with your health and well being. In my book, that is what professional electrologist is all about.
For the record non-licensed electrologists who have recently become Certified Laser Parlor Operators do not have the ability and requisite education to comprehend the complexities of endocrine disorders such as polycystic ovaries. Furthermore, Laser Parlor operators have no required educational curriculum longer than forty hours and in addition to that there are no required license or registration to use the laser for temporary hair removal in the U.S.A.
Without one doubt this makes the licensed and registered electrologist the best and only choice for safe permanent hair removal. Furthermore I would like to acquaint you with your my professional education at Miss Kelly's School of Electrology, Quincy, and Massachusetts from 1975 to graduation in 1979 taught me that electrolysis is a bona fide medical profession. During that time my curriculum consisted of anatomy, physiology, endocrinology, histology, biology, microbiology, pharmacology, hygiene & sanitation, sterilization, electricity and ethics. In addition there was required 600 hours of practical training. After successfully passing the dual Massachusetts State Board examinations, which was a 2-hour written, and one-hour practical I received my license and registration as a Massachusetts licensed and registered electrologist. After 26 years as a practicing electrologist and an Arizona resident from 1991 I am appalled that Arizona to this day does not have any requisite educational or licensing registration to practice as an electrologist a fact that many Arizona residents are still not aware of.
Fact, and for the record if you have an unwanted facial hair problem from minor to severe I am the electrologist you can count on with a written guarantee of excellence.
Arizona's first and only electrologist who guarantees in writing that after one treatment, if you can locate a better electrologist, bring me the receipt and I will refund your first treatment fee. In addition to that, even on difficult cases, I can work at one-third to one-fourth the time of the average electrologist - licensed or unlicensed. I also guarantee that you will have the most comfortable treatment with no scabbing, scarring or pitting as direct result of my treatments©.

What have you found to be the best exercise website (for tips) and the best supplier (in terms of inexpensive products) for exercise needs? |
Follow-Up Postings:
QVC has alot of equipment for reasonable prices. Go to mysimon and compare as well. Also I would get ratings from Epinions. Jainie S |
I'll post the link to ExRx below. GREAT place for checking out strength training workouts (there's a little movie of the exercise being performed on each page). Also a caveat to ordering from infomercials or QVC - you get what you pay for...if you're looking for a home treadmill/elliptical/etc., I'd suggest going to Sears, SportMart, or Play it Again Sports and **try before you buy**. Yeah, I know, QVC has the 30-day money back guarantee but think of what a hassle it'll be to keep the packaging, repackage, and ship back a large item. Not to mention that YOU have to pay the return shipping out of pocket! My top two suggestions for home exercise equipment: For strength training: Check out PowerBlocks. They are so neat - it's a set of adjustable dumbbells that takes up very little room and you can adjust from 5 pounds up to 100+ (depending on what model you buy). If you have wrist problems these are also a good choice ergonomically. PowerBlocks are being carried by a lot of exercise equipment dealers (FitnessWize is one in my area) or you can check 'em out on www.powerblocks.com. Trust me that you CAN INDEED get a full strength training workout with just dumbbells and an adjustable bench! Cardio top choice: If you have a decent bike (road or mountain) look into buying a WIND TRAINER. Most professional cyclists rely on wind trainers to keep up during the wet/rainy/snowy seasons when they can't ride outdoors. These can REALLY give you a workout! Best of all, they are very compact once you remove your bike - fits nicely into a closet. They come in a wide range of prices - just keep in mind that the less expensive ones are going to be a lot noisier than the pricier models. Any well-stocked bike shop should carry at least one model for you to try out. Check eBay for great prices! Hope that helps! |
Here is a link that might be useful: ExRx.net - strength training exercises galore!

An Indicative 10-11 day itinerary
*Scroll down to Day 9 for the Mendoza-wine country component
2011 was the year of Buenos Aires and Mendoza –or more specifically eight nights in Buenos Aires followed by two in Mendoza, the capital of the Argentine wine industry – situated beneath the Andes mountain range. Further, we have just returned from The Andes and are in the midst of designing a 2 night/3 day horse trek into the Andes (to 3500 meters)
For general information on day-to-day expenses refer preamble in Itinerary One.
Day 1 (Thursday)
Day: Depart Auckland 7:00 pm
Day: Arrive Buenos Aires 3:30 pm same day
Met by Mike Howie: Transport to city and allocated apartment. Later in day briefing, introduction and distribution of B.A. information packs and general orientation over a wine in Plaza Dorrego.
Evening: Dinner at local Spanish tapas bar.
Day 2 (Friday)
Day: A 'take it easy-acclimatize' day – including gentle urban hike to a couple of the main historical areas in Buenos Aires and introduction to city's history and general city orientation. The 'art of slow travel' is central to the ethos of these trips with one of the aims being to give guests the knowledge and confidence to navigate their way around the city or back to certain preferred landmarks.
Evening: Dinner at a 'private restaurant' (known as 'puertos cerrados') – a recent phenomenon in Buenos Aires in recent years. The selected private restaurant designs a completely new menu each week using only Argentine produce accompanied by an Argentine wine flight.
Late Evening: Following dinner a visit to a local milonga (tango hall) – 'milongas' are where the locals go to tango – and a wonderful opportunity to get away from the usual 'tango show' experience.
Day 3 (Saturday)
Day: Breakfast at the Eva Peron Museum followed by a tour of Recoleta Cemetery
Recoleta Cemetery is famous for its veritable avenues of mausoleums that house the wealthy, famous and infamous of Argentina…including Eva's.
Attend a live 'futbol' (football) match along with 60, 000 mad Argentines. This is a must when visiting Buenos Aires simply for the spectacle and to appreciate a unique take on the Argentine theater of life.
Evening: Dinner – traditional Argentine Parrilla -'heaven is an Argentine steak and a bucket of Malbec'
Day 4 (Sunday)
Day: Mid morning a wander around the San Telmo Antiques Market followed by lunch and a walk to the River Plata via an outdoor salsa party. For those interested (depending on fixture) attending a live football match in the late afternoon – at either the Boca or River Stadiums (for others afternoon tea at the Park Hyatt).
Sunday is busy day as this is when the people of Buenos Aires get out en masse to enjoy their city. Sunday can be a day of eating, walking as well as the live dramatic theatre of a football game. This last activity is indescribable and we're talking about the crowd – flags as big as six storey buildings, chanting, not to mention mothers and sons swearing in unison at the other team.
Optional is to rent bikes and explore the upper reaches of Palermo and the city's vast green belt.
Evening: Dinner at an infamous Basque restaurant.
No trip to Buenos Aires is complete without being served by suave old men in white aprons who've mastered the art of 'respectful surliness' as they nonchalantly serve up succulent fare that in the Basque eatery always includes a sherry aperitif.
Day 5 (Monday) A 'short (bloody) history of Argentina and walk up Avenida de Mayo with lunch at Spanish restaurant. If time we take the 'A' Line (oldest tube line) north for coffee at one of the oldest cafes in Argentina.
Evening: (Early) Gig by Argentine-Brazilian percussion group in dis-used oil refinery – up to 2000 attend this open air event each week in an old refinery. (Weather dependent).
Option 2: Pizza at working men's pizza joint then jazz club or cocktails at stately home which is now a hip bar.
Day 6 (Tuesday)
Day: Three options: Day trip to Uruguay via Fast Ferry to colonial Spanish village of Colonia (A World Heritage Site) for lunch and a sightseeing.
Option Two: Argentina cooking class at a private Buenos Aires home followed by lunch with the chef.
Option Three: Bike tour to La Boca, Puerto Madero and San Telmo – includes morning tea at one of the newest contemporary art galleries (rooftop cafe).
Evening: Dinner with light meal at local Italian restaurant or own arrangements.
Day 7 (Wednesday)
Day: The MALBA (Latin American Art Museum of Buenos Aires)- once privately owned Latin America's leading modern art gallery. Worth a visit for the building and its surrounds.
Evening: Tango-Neo Punk 12 piece orchestra in a warehouse on the 'far side of town'. Imaginative and an excellent example for the new, vibrant Argentina that is now happily putting an interesting spin on it's own history and culture.
Day 8 (Thursday)
Free Day: As it's the last full day in Buenos Aires an opportunity to explore, lunch and shop in the high-end design part of the city with options to also peruse the factory outlets and 'Las Pulgas' (the second hand market or flea-market).
Dinner: In Palermo Hollywood at Italian family-run joint – with cocktails beforehand.
Day 9 (Friday)
Morning: Depart for Mendoza – from downtown Jorge Newbery Airport. (Flight time 1 hour 50 mins)
Day: Met at airport by Mendoza by mini-van and head out to Argentina's premier wine growing region - Lujan de Cuyo visiting 3 major vineyards including a 5 course lunch (wine flights included) at French-Argentine vineyard – return to city early evening.
Evening: At local neighbourhood Mendoza bistro.
Day 10 (Saturday)
Head out to horse breeding estancia for gentle ride up through the Lunlunta Hills with its dramatic Andes Mountains backdrop. The trek is over one of the leading estancias (ranches) in the country for breeding the traditional Argentine Criollos horses. The Estancia is currently ranked 4th out of over 600 estancias in Argentina for their breeding and training. It is a working ranch.
This horse trek is a very relaxed three hours and includes three course lunch at the Estancia with wine. (Lunch is a traditional Argentine asado (bbq) served with home made empanadas and farm grown vegetables and salad – accompanied by superb regional wines. (Note: the 1.5 day Mendoza wine/horse-trek tour is a private Howdy Buenos Aires tour)
Evening: Depending on energy levels – a light snack at wine bistro near to the boutique hotel.
Day 11 (Sunday)
Depart Mendoza (mid-morning) for a bonus day in Buenos Aires – before departing Argentina late Sunday evening.

BMW has always been known to take the lead when it comes to new, innovative technology for cars; however, their newest development, the ConnectedDrive Connect System is the most cutting-edge product to date.
The ConnectedDrive Connect System is one of BMW's most practical inventions to allow drivers to relax while behind the wheel. The car uses four types of sensor systems: a radar, cameras, laser scanners and ultrasound distance sensors to navigate on the road and drive itself. The car is able to adhere to all speed limits, ensuring it will never be pulled over. It also has lane-merging technology and has the ability to pass slower vehicles. It was built to still look like a normal 5 series BMW.

There probably isn't one that has it initially, but I've been using Ashe and the Ashe guide. 450g -> Pendant 640g -> Upgrade to Stone 1050g -> Lv3 movement with Boots of Swiftness 1850g -> BM Sword 1215g (I think) -> Black Cleaver Then you invest 4k+ into Infinity Edge. Then Banshee's Veil and stuff. .-. This is very hax and great and all. But..I prefer high attack speed over damage. Will high attack speed with Ashe do well? If not, is there a champion that would?
Attack Speed is a great stat, if you have some good +Damage and Armor Pen with it. So going something like Last Whisper and then Infinity Edge might give you what you're looking for.
I haven't gotten a look at what Last Whisper is, yet. And I'm busy, so would you or someone else mind posting the stats it gives? (I really like the Phantom Dancer also :3)
Junior Member
From memory: Last Whisper is 20 Atk dmg, 40% attack speed and 40% armor penetration. What I like to do with Ashe is build towards Infinity edge, then see what stats I'll be up against. High armor I get a black cleaver / last whisper combo. If they're stacking HP, get a Maldred's bloodrazor to increase your damage (also adds attack speed). If you're seriously interested in attack speed only as a stat, to keep your dmg high get an infinity edge, then Maldred's Bloodrazor and tailor your final item to what you need. If you're still having problem with armor, throw in black cleaver, if not, it's up to you.
Senior Member
If you want to stack attack speed, the key is to stack items that give both attack speed and damage. Some good examples of this are: Malady (each hit increases further damage taken), Wit's End (each hit mana burns them for 42), Last Whisper (attack damage and armor penetration), and Madred's Blodrazor (attack damage and % of their life in damage). Phantom Dancer is good, no doubt, but not for this. There's not a lot of point in increasing your attack speed when all you will do is base damage + maybe crit damage. However, Infinity Edge + Phantom Dancers is a very viable strategy.
http://leaguecraft.com/builder/Ashe/...0dcdb6d7ef4ab3 That build might suit what your after the max attack speed is 2.5 attacks per second and that one caps out at 2.416 so its pretty close to limit. The battle calculator says it'll do 1491 damage per second but assuming Trinity Force's 'on cast, increases your base Attack Damage by 150% for one attack.' procs from Ashe's Frost Shot it should deal 50% more on top of the 1491dps. Would have to check that though. EDIT I did check and trinity force doesnt proc of frost shot it may be that toggle abilities in general cant proc on cast effects would have to look into it further, given that fact though i would probably switch the trinity force out for a bloodthirster
AmyOverlord, The main thing to consider is natural diminishments. example: 100 damage, 1.0 attack speed = 100 dps 100 damage +20 damage item, 1.0 attack speed= 120 dps 100 damage, 1.0 + 20% attack speed= 120 dps 100 damage +40 damage item, 1.0 attack speed = 140 dps 100 damage + 20 damage item, 1.0 attack speed +20% item= 144 dps There's always a balance, but generally you want to add damage if your attack speed is high or attack speed if your damage is high. The only exceptions are consideration for 'on hit' effects. If you're using trinity force, you can get one +150% hit every few seconds. This would skew your max DPS toward attack damage, as speed doesnt play into this ability.
also, I'm pretty sure twitch has the highest attack speed when you include his stealth bonus into the formula. Yi is another good option.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Luna 100$ reduction!
Facts about Luna 100$ reduction
- Breed: Boxer/Mountain Cur Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
- ID#: sh
Luna 100$ reduction's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Luna was found running along side a busy street. with no collar or tag. We opened the car door and she jumped right in. Needless to say she loves to ride sitting in the passengers seat. Luna gets along well with all the other pooches and cats we have. She is totally house trained and can go all day without an accident. She walks well on a leash and enjoys being outdoors with us. Luna weighs about 50 lbs but is very dainty in how she walks and cares for herself and things around her. Could she be you walking or riding companion? Please, you MUST click the following link BEFORE emailing for further information. If you'd like to find out more information about our adoption procedure or to apply for this dog paste the following link into your browser http://www.poochesonthemove.net/homeward-bound-adoptables.html

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Luna 100$ reduction, a Plainfield Boxer/Mountain Cur dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer/Mountain Cur for sale in Plainfield, or seeking a Boxer/Mountain Cur dog from a breeder in Plainfield.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Plainfield already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Plainfield breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer/Mountain Cur breeders who help with Boxer/Mountain Cur rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Plainfield paves the way for another one to be saved.

Is light of different colors affected differently by gravity?
I have a question about gravitational lensing. As a photon goes through a region of curved space, it will find its geodesic and go on its merry way. Does the shape of the geodesic depend on the wavelength of the photon? Or: is space-time dispersive like a prism? I was going to get a spectrograph and a CCD camera to try and answer this question observationally, but thought I might check with the theorists first.
The shape of the geodesic does not depend on the photon's wavelength (i.e. on the light's color). It only depends on the mass distribution of the object that is causing space to be curved. When other objects (photons, particles, etc.) move through this curved space, the particular path that they follow will depend on their velocity, but since all photons have the same velocity they will all follow the same paths and there should be no dispersive effect.
There is, however, an effect called the "gravitational redshift", in which photons moving away from a massive object lose some energy, causing their wavelength to increase, i.e. making them more red. This is an effect of energy conservation - when you throw a ball into the air, for example, it gains potential energy and loses kinetic energy (i.e. its speed decreases). A photon does the same thing, but its speed can't decrease because it is constrained to always move at the speed of light, so the only way it can lose energy is to change its wavelength.

After a long hiatus, we bring you the TIFIA Times, your e-mail newsletter concerning the US Department of Transportation's credit program for large-scale surface transportation projects. We encourage you to share this newsletter with your associates throughout the transportation finance community.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), on behalf of USDOT, will be seeking to award legal and financial advisory task order contracts to assist the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act Joint Program Office (TIFIA JPO) in evaluating applications and negotiating credit agreements for those projects seeking federal credit assistance. The legal and financial firms will provide expertise reviewing and drafting the legal terms of credit agreements and analyzing the financial and credit aspects of projects.
The solicitations and all related documents and amendments, if any, will only be released and available electronically at the FedBizOpps site which will list all the FHWA business opportunities sorted by posted date. The solicitations and related documents will be posted under the RFP number. Interested parties must download the RFP from that site. NO WRITTEN, TELEPHONIC, FACSIMILE, OR E-MAIL REQUESTS will be honored. Since these solicitations will only be available electronically, it is the responsibility of interested parties to monitor the FebBizOpps website for any solicitation amendments. Interested parties can register at the FebBizOpps site to receive e-mail notifications of postings.
Please note that FedBizOpps has a feature called "Interested Vendors List." Those interested in subcontracting, supplying, consulting, teaming and the like should register, and contractors may find it helpful to review the names posted there. The estimated release date of the RFPs is March 31, 2004.
The TIFIA Joint Program Office has received applications from IdleAire Technologies Corporation, Louisiana Transportation Authority (LTA) and Las Vegas Monorail Company (LVMC) seeking $496 million in credit assistance to support projects totaling an estimated $1.8 billion. The IdleAire application seeks $300 million in credit assistance to support a project with estimated total costs of $1.1 billion. IdleAire's proposal involves the implementation of an Advanced Truck Stop Electrification project that would enable truck drivers to turn off their engines during rest periods while still having access to cab heating, air-conditioning, electrification and other amenities. The proposed TIFIA credit assistance in conjunction with $682 million in senior bonds would help advance this project which is intended to reduce idling emissions, improve sleep for long haul truck drivers and improve highway safety.
The Louisiana Transportation Authority (LTA) is seeking a $52 million loan to support the $158 million LA-1 project in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. The TIFIA credit assistance will help construct a 16.3 mile arterial four-lane, fully-controlled access, elevated highway. Phase I of this project, to which the TIFIA loan will be applied, includes the construction of a two-lane bridge over Bayou Lafourche at Leeville and a two-lane elevated span from Leeville south to Hwy. 3090. The project received a Record of Decision in January of 2003 and is exploring tolling options as part of its funding package.
The Las Vegas Monorail Company (LVMC) is seeking a $144 million loan to support the Las Vegas Corridor Downtown Extension project which encompasses the design and construction of a 2.3-mile dual guideway monorail in downtown Las Vegas. The project is a continuation of the 3.7-mile base monorail system scheduled to begin service in the first quarter of 2004. The combined system will include 6-miles of dual guideway, eleven stations, and operations, maintenance and storage facilities. The base monorail system has been completely financed and built with private funds. The total estimated cost of the downtown extension is $461 million of which $431 million are eligible TIFIA costs. The LVMC proposes to fund the downtown extension with the combination of a TIFIA loan, farebox-backed bonds, an FTA Full Funding Grant Agreement and other grants and local monies.
Jo Anne McGowan has joined the TIFIA Joint Program Office on a detail from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Jo Anne brings tremendous knowledge of rail programs with over 30 years in FRA where she has managed the Local Rail Freight Assistance Program and most recently the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing Program (RRIF). Given the intermodal nature of the TIFIA office, we have regularly benefited from Jo Anne's expertise and assistance from her post in FRA and are extremely pleased to welcome her aboard.

Types of Foreign Exchange Exposures
With globalization and cross country operations, the need to manage foreign exchange has become a crucial part of any business. An exporter engaged in export of goods receives payment in foreign currency. Similarly an importer may require foreign currency to make payments to its suppliers in different countries. Globalization has increased business opportunities, but at the same time exposes any business to a number of risks. One such risk arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
Foreign exchange risk arises from the possibility of deviation in the value of domestic currency. Such variation results from unexpected changes in foreign exchange rate and can have a positive or negative effect on the value of any asset, liability or income of any company engaged foreign currency transactions. For instance, an Indian importer imports goods from USA. Payment is expected to be made within 30 days from the date of receipt of shipment. On the day when importer entered into purchase transaction, rate per dollar was Rs. 45/-. However on the date of receipt of shipment, rate per dollar was Rs. 47.50/-. As a result of this increase in rate, importer will have Rs. 2.50/- extra for each dollar. If goods were worth 50,000 USD, net loss to the importer will be equal to Rs. 1, 25,000/- . Now let us take another scenario where rate per dollar decreases to Rs. 43.50/-. In this case importer will save Rs. 75,000/-. This is a simple example of how exchange rate fluctuations can impact profitability of any business.
Let Us Focus On The Three Types Of Foreign Exchange Exposures Which Are Described Below:
Transaction exposure:
Transaction exposure arises from due to fluctuations in exchange rate between the time the transaction took place and the time by when it is finally settled. Let us understand this with the help of an example. An Indian exporter has made a credit sale to a company in USA. Total value of goods was 70,000 USD. Exporter reports the receivables in its books of accounts in USD only. Payment for this shipment is expected within 30 days from the date of shipment of goods. At the time of shipment of goods, rate per dollar was Rs. 45/- and when payment was received by the exporter rate per dollar was Rs. 46.5/-. Here exporter benefited to the extent of Rs. 1.50/- per dollar. Had there been a decline in the rate, exporter would have suffered a loss. Here the settlement date would be the date when money was received by the exporter. Hence transaction exposure arises mainly on account of routine operations of any company. Here it is interesting to note that had payment been accepted in Indian rupees, there would have been no effect on the actual earnings of the exporter. Any transaction which involves dealing in foreign currency can expose a business to transaction exposure.
Translation exposure:
Irrespective of the size, country or nature, every business is required to maintain proper books of accounts. At the end of financial year, businesses are required to report all of their assets, liabilities and incomes in their domestic currency. Further these figures are required to be reported at the values which they will derive if liquidated as on the date of finalization, that is, at current realizable values. If a company has any foreign currency denominated asset, liability or any income which is to be received in foreign currency, it will require a translation into domestic currency to report accurate figures.
In comparison to transaction exposure where loss or gain actually takes place, translation exposure does not result in actual gains or losses, since conversion is done only for the purpose of reporting correct figures whereas in reality there is no liquidation of relevant asset, liability or income. For instance, a company had a bank balance of 25,000 USD at the beginning of the financial year while at the end its bank balance increased to 26,000 USD. At the start of the financial year, rate per dollar was Rs. 48/- while at the end it reduced to Rs. 46/-. To report, company will have to convert its bank balance at the end of the year at the current rate of Rs. 46, thereby resulting in a bank balance of Rs. 11, 96, 000/-. At the beginning of the year, this value would have been Rs. 12, 00,000/- (25000*48). Hence it can be seen that even though the company's bank balance has increase by 1000 USD, its actual value in Indian rupees at the end of financial year has come down by Rs. 4,000/-. This type of exposure also holds relevance in case a company has a foreign subsidiary and is engaged in transaction in domestic currency of that country.
Operating exposure:
Any change in the future cash flows or profits of a firm as a result of any unexpected change in the exchange rate is known as operating exposure. It is also called economic exposure or competitive exposure. Here a business tries to estimate the volume of loss or gain that may arise due to changes in the value of future operating flows as a result of changes in exchange rate. Company's operations are studied over a period of time which can be few months or even a year.
It is more of estimation and hence a little difficult to measure as accurately as other two types of exposures. Unlike transaction and translation exposure, operating exposure cannot be related to specific cash flows, assets or liabilities. Operating exposure may not result in any direct impact on the financial position of any company, but it can affect the operating competitiveness. Operating exposure is important from the long run perspective of an organization's business operations. Even a difference in the level of inflation between two countries can impact the competitive position of the company through its impact on future cash flows denominated in foreign exchange and over all profitability of the company.
Various mechanisms are available to deal with foreign exchange risks. Proper guidelines and policies as to how much exposure a firm can withstand should be prepared and planned for in advance by the management.

I would love to trade for some cuttings of fruit scented Salvias (melissodora, dorisiana, elegans) this spring. Does anybody have some that they plan on pruning soon? Please have a look at my exchange list. Thanks, Chandra |

Do you already have salvia elegans pineapple sage? I have seeds and also will have plants when the weather gets warmer. Becky |
I have S. elegans cuttings available, but how do you exchange those except in person? can they be mailed? I am in Torrance if you are close by and would be interested in agastache or salvia seeds or any heirloom tomato that grows near the coast. |
