elvis, not saying there isn't truth to what you say, sadly, just that it would be blind to judge an entire county, its people and its culture based on one ethnocentric stereotype... at any rate, this is supposed to be a happy site - truce?
I've ridden both and think that it was a fun update. Kids like it and it freshens up the attraction.
Check out free high resolution Disney World Pictures and Disney Vacation information.
I am not a big fan of the update, and really prefer the original ride. I agree that it needed an update, but I didn't think they needed to add the characters in so much.

I basically cried when i went on it. I had no clue it was getting "plussed" and when I went expecting one of my favorite rides, because of its calm, relaxing, and line free atmosphere, i got slapped in the face with this atrocity. I've ridden it on two separate trips since the change, and i'll never ride it again. R.I.P. El Rio del Tiempo
Isn't WDW just a people trap operated by a mouse?

I liked the creepy Aztec guys better than the 3 caballeros. It was more fun the original way.
I agree BellHopper, I loved how calm and relaxing it used to be!!! I miss that.
I liked the update and it was also entertaining for my daughter as well.
i don't like either version. i found the original extremely boring, and i think the Gran Fiesta Tour is a waste of space, they imagineers could have came up with something that was more kid friendly and eduacational

I like the Mexico Pavillion in its entirety, however I did enjoy the old ride. Im not saying at all that the new one is bad at all, it is nice to have characters in the ride now. And i like the part where they are dancing with the umbrellas and one is smoking a little. First time i saw that i told the CM at the unload and he smiled and said yeah it does that, its normal.

I honestly didn't think the Gran Fiesta Tour was that bad, but I loved the old El Rio del Tiempo. The Dia de los Muertos portion was my absolute favorite.
The birds are cute and more kid-friendly, though.

Delightful activities entertain kids when weather turns frightful
Here are some delightful activities to keep the kids active and occupied
Published: Thursday, February 13, 2014 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 3, 2014 at 9:28 a.m.
When the weather outside is too cold for play, that doesn't mean small children have any less energy.
According to the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition, children now spend an average of more than seven and a half hours a day in front of a screen. When they are stuck home from school and the weather is too bad to play outside, a little advance planning can keep them active and entertained without having to turn on the TV.
"It is always important to stay active in the winter, even if the weather keeps you inside. Being active stimulates your body and mind," said Beth Bockoven, Hands On! operations manager. "Young children's brains are developing at a rapid rate, and all kinds of activities help their brains make connections that will be with them for the rest of their lives."
Scavenger hunt
To keep children engaged and having fun, Bockoven suggests creating a scavenger hunt around the house.
"You can create one as easily as writing down what to find on paper in a checklist form, or you can find images and create a pictorial scavenger hunt," Bockoven said.
For children 3 to 6 years old, Bockoven suggests keeping the focus of the hunt on things they are currently learning about, such as shapes, colors and textures.
For older children, you can create scavenger hunts that require them to find clues.
"For example, the scavenger hunt begins with a clue that leads them to something in the kitchen. When they find the object, there is a clue with the object that they must solve to find the next one," Bockoven said. "You can find lots of scavenger hunt inspiration online."
Bockoven said fitness scavenger hunts where kids have to walk down the hallway like a bear, crab walk around the sofa or run up and down the stairs will not only get their brains working, but their bodies, too.
"Scavenger hunts will keep a wide range of children entertained for hours. Be sure to think of some clever rewards," Bockoven said. "Maybe all that brain exercise is rewarded with some yummy muffins."
Local author and illustrator of children's art books Jennifer Lipsey Edwards, who teaches at Veritas Christian Academy in Fletcher, said some of the best items that parents can have on hand for crafting are recycled materials. Keeping a box to collect lids, bottle caps, toilet paper tubes and buttons will make crafting as easy as pulling the box off the shelf.
In that box, Edwards suggests also keeping art supplies such as glue, paint, pipe cleaners and cotton balls to make sure there is a wide variety of materials.
"I think you have to be OK with them making a mess to be creative," she said. Parents who want neater pursuits are going to want to have books and coloring items in their activity boxes, "not so much paint and glue," she added.
Edwards said her son, Oliver, 6, likes to make telescopes out of old cardboard tubes.
"It can be very fun making something like that and having them paint it with acrylic paint and add buttons for switches," Edwards said. "He loves making stuff like that, and he values that as much as he does things like a Nerf gun."
For craft projects, Edwards said things that are interactive tend to get a lot longer use with her children. Her daughter Violet, 4, will make spaceships out of tubes and then place little characters she's made out of pom-poms inside and pretend that they are going on trips together.
"I think things where they can make characters that they can pretend with is really a great thing," Edwards said. Children can cut characters from cardboard, "and then you just cut a little slit in the bottom of the cardboard and take another piece and put it in there perpendicularly and then they've got a stand up character that's portable," she said.
On-hand activities
For play time around the house, Edwards said everything depends on what parents have on hand.
"You can set up an obstacle course in your house using painter's tape as lasers that they have to crawl through," Edwards said. "You can use old boxes for a tunnel and old wrapping paper as a wall they have to bust through at the end."
Extra PVC shelf liner lying around the house can be cut out into shapes and be used as stepping stones along the course as well.
"You can just cut out different shapes and say they're stones and everything else is lava to get their imagination going," Edwards said.
Since it gets dark earlier this time of year, Edwards said flashlights are also good to have on hand. (And flashlights are also handy in the event of a power failure.)
"You can go hunt for things or make funny faces with them and take pictures of them with your cellphone camera," Edwards said.
Even activities as simple as folding paper and cutting out different shapes, Edwards said, can be a lot of fun for kids and get their minds thinking more about symmetry and shapes.
For more ideas on craft and activities, Edwards suggests that parents need go no further than their computers.
"There are so many tutorials online for parents; if they don't know how to do something, they can very easily learn," Edwards said. "You don't have to buy a special book or go to a class."

Ive never owned a fireplace before moving into my latest address. It has an older fireplace, vented thru a chimney and what also looks like a damper/vent on the side of house.
It has a gas starter I believe, which is turned on and off by a key type tool. There is no standing pilot light. The damper is closed. and there is a vent thats opens and closes into the living space. I havent tried to use it yet, I just vacuumed out the old owners mess from inside. How do I use such a fireplace? And I am concerned about its safety since it has a gas starter. Please advise.
Follow-Up Postings:
This would be a wood burning fireplace with a gas starter used to start the wood fire. Place the wood on the grate first, then get you one of those long handle butane lighters. Ignite the butane lighter, hold the flame even with the flame ports on the gas starter and turn the key. Once the wood starts burning turn the key off. I assume this fireplace has doors of some kind and the vent into the house is for air into the fireplace. The damper needs to be fully opened before you start the wood. This is a basic example and one would really need to see your application before given exact advice, you may need someone to come over and look at it, don't be embarrassed to ask, everyone had to be taught to do everything they know how to do. |

Tangram Garden Restaurant
A relaxing hideaway.
What we say:
Settling into one of Tangram Garden's palm-roofed cabanas, each with its very own call light for attracting the attention of your server, makes you feel a little bit special. The friendly and efficient – yet not overly formal – service, and reliable, slightly quirky food just add to the appeal of this quiet and relaxing garden restaurant in Siem Reap.
Tangram Garden is located on a newly resurfaced street less than a kilometre from the Old Market in the Wat Damnak area. However, the confusing warren of dusty roads you have to negotiate to reach Tangram Garden's lovely new stretch of tarmac makes it difficult for most tuk tuk drivers to find it at their first attempt. So taking advantage of the restaurant's offer to pick you up from your hotel is probably a good idea.
Once you arrive one of the staff escorts you through the lush gardens dotted with old ox carts, dug-out canoes and ceramic pots to your cabana where they explain how the call light works, flick on your fan and leave you to choose from their food, cocktail and wine menus.
Many of the cabanas house just one table, making them perfect for softly lit romantic private dining, and although some cater to more than one table at a time it is rarely busy enough for you to have to share. If romance is not on the cards and instead you are dining en famille, you can still enjoy a bit of peace and quiet by sending the children off to the playground until their meals arrive.
Starters are on the light and refreshing side and include a tasty pumpkin soup, a healthy pomelo and apple salad and a lovely hot and sour prawn soup with Thai basil, Cambodian mint (subtler than western mint) and juicy tiger prawns in a lightly spiced garlicky broth.
Mains are mostly in the $6-$8 range and are a choice of Khmer-with-a-twist and barbecue-grilled meats, fish and seafood. The fried fish with lemongrass changes according to what is available at market. When I tried it I enjoyed a fillet of tilapia, which unlike its rather sad British counterparts, was firm and tasty and came with its crisp seasoned skin still on. They also offer fried tilapia fillet with creamed aubergine, tamarind chutney, salad and mash or fries which is very good too.
For meat lovers I can highly recommend the braised ribs with palm sugar and the imported New Zealand fillet steak with red wine sauce. If ribs are your thing then try to go on a Sunday evening when you can have as many ribs as you can eat for $8.75.
Vegetarians are also catered for with a good selection of dishes such as tofu lok lak, aubergine with feta, and Tangram curry with mushrooms.
At busy periods the kitchen can slow down a bit but the staff are prompt with drinks service and the manager makes an effort to chat to his guests while keeping them up to date with their order. In fairness, if you're not looking for a relaxing evening and aren't prepared to chill out you might be better off with fast food and 50 cent beers on Pub Street.
There is a good value cocktail list and house wines, although not cheap at $17.50 a bottle, are also worth considering if you want to make a special occasion of your visit. The house white is a light and not-too-grassy Chilean sauvignon blanc and the house red a Chilean cabernet sauvignon. All other a la carte wines – of which there are around 10 are priced at $19.50 except for the Spanish Torres Sangre de Torre which tops the list at $24.50. House wines by the glass are a reasonable $2.75.
Desserts include caramelized pineapple, tropical fruit cocktail and sweet mango with sticky rice. All are priced between $1 and $3.
If the setting, service and food aren't enough to have you beating a path towards Tangram Garden's gate then their commitment to the helping their local community might just tip the scales. Locally sourced materials were used to construct the restaurant, and local produce is used wherever possible on the menu. Five percent of all profits go to two local charities supporting youth development and the restaurant also hosts monthly lunches for underprivileged children.

We are going to be starting a fairly major reno in our lower level split foyer basement and will be replacing the carpet throughout the level. This includes a bedroom, an office/playroom, and our family room where we watch TV every night (meaning it gets heavy use). I love the look of the frieze carpet but have seen some nice texture carpets as well. From my research I've read that nylon is the best material to go with for wear but which do you think is best for high traffic, texture or frieze? |
Follow-Up Postings:
i like the look of frieze. not sure what you mean by texture. frieze seems to be what they are recommending for the 2nd story of 2 story homes |
I'd just say it's less about the style(frieze vs. texture) and more about which fiber you choose when it comes to performance. Mohawk's Triexta fiber is resistant to traffic and staining based on the shape of the actual fiber. Because there is no stain protection chemicals added, it creates a tremendously soft carpet to. SmartStrand carpets, which feature Triexta fiber, will work very well for your high traffic areas |

With freize, you are walking on the sides of the carpet strand, not the cut end as in a plush. It won't really hold up to heavy wear and tends to go "flat" because of that. For "texture", you'd have to define what texture you're talking about. A plush with a high twist and a low nap, and a good wear warranty would be my choice for a high traffic location. And plenty of rugs at doorway entrances to keep the dirt out of the rooms. That's essential if you want the carpet to look it's best for the longest term. |
I didn't even realize my post had posted! I thought I forgot to hit the submit button. Thanks for the tips. For texture, I mean a plush cut carpet but the carpet is cut at different lengths, giving it a more textured appearance vs all one length standard plush. I think we are leaning more toward the texture vs the frieze for the reasons @GreenDesigns mentioned. |

I have two pots of irises that have overwintered under lights in my plant room. They're starting to perk up and send up fresh leaves. Should I plant them outside now, or is it still too cold? The irises outside are growing, and I think a couple are about to send up flower stems. |

I read on another post that Colorado zone 5 may still receive frosty nights. Wait until April. |
- Posted by berrytea4me Z5 CO (My Page) on Sat, Mar 21, 09 at 23:28
Yes, unless you can cover them on frosty nights wait until mid-late April. Last year I lost daylilies planted in the last week of April due to frost. It went down to 22 degrees the day after I planted them and it was so windy that I couldn't keep any cover on them. 3 of 7 piddled away and finally died from the stress. Iris are tougher than daylilies but I'd still be worried they would get bit pretty hard if their roots are not deeply settled in. I'm worried about everything outside that has been awakened by our recent warm weather. Only if you can plant them w/o disturbing the roots at all & cover them again to protect from frost would I put them out now. Or you could try using Wall-O-Waters for protection. I hear we're bracing for snow again on the Front Range this Monday. |

Toyota Sienna ETCS-i Electronic Throttle Control System
I own a 2004 Toyota Sienna XLE. I have been watching the news about the recalls on certain Toyota model vehicles and so far the Sienna is not on the list. While the brake pedals are being blamed by Toyota officials for the problems with acceleration. Experts are saying its the Electronic Throttle Control System that is causing the acceleration problems. I called Toyota today to check and see if my vehicle also had this same type of throttle system which people are questioning and it does. I am concerned with the safety of my vehicle and why if many other vehicles have this same throttle system they arent all being recalled.
obrien64 Posts: 9ok this is scary stuff if in fact the electronic system is failing then why would or could it not fail on all Toyotas not just the ones they have recalled. see atttached link
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-02-04/toyota-pedal-recall-may-spur-u-s-to-- require-new-brake-systems.html -
backwoods Posts: 12IMO their problems are not over, yet. I feel you will see more models added, including our Siennas. Nor do I think this recall will fix all the incidents they have had.
If this should drag out with more models and or more issues, etc. eventually the devoted, die-hard Toyota owner will leave the stable. -
choices Posts: 1I too have a Toyota Sienna 2004 and am concerned about the Electronic Throttle Control System on my vehicle...what can we do to ensure that it is replaced for all of us?? I have called my dealer and they will look at my vehicle for a fee and no doubt I will have to pay for any replacement...also the software that they are down loading to cut of the fuel on Toyota vehicles that are part of the recall for uncontrolled acceleration does not apply to the 2004 Sienna SOOONow what???
I have had 2 to 3 uncontrolled accelerations ( although very minor and the vehicle did correct itself) I am concerned that this is not being addressed in the current hearings and that there are not enough complaints with the NHTSA because not enough of us thought it to be a big issue at the time of occurence... -
obrien64 Posts: 9I am stunned by the complete ignorance...I have repeatedly had to be restrained from throwing objects at the TV while they aire those damn Toyota Commercial tell us how much Toyota loves us and is doing their best to fix the problem Blah Blah Blah! They are fixing it because they got caught! But what shocks me even more are the number of people lined up at the Toyota Dealership buying Toyotas. Seriously what is wrong with these people! The cars have the exact same braking systems, the Siennas have been documented as doing the same thing, the Siennas are not on the recall list. But because Toyota is giving them a few hundred bucks off the list price and 2 years free maintenance people are giddy with delight. It just proves how stupid the American public really is...and ps. I'm American Too! Just not stupid enough to ever buy another Toyota again!

North Base hangar history includes Navy service, basketball and movie production
Published: October 4, 2010
Modified: October 4, 2010 at 10:22 am
Modified: October 4, 2010 at 10:22 am
NORMAN — Jack Kasulis paces off a square on the tiled floor. "This area is where the hole was," he says.
At this spot in the early 1990s, crews with heavy equipment chopped through the concrete floor and dug a hole the size of a two-car garage to create a set to film part of the movie "Twister." That was just one of the many chapters in the life of Building 1005.
This cavernous structure on the University of Oklahoma's North Base, built in 1942 as a military hangar, has been home for everything from an art student to birds of prey. But mostly it has served as an athletic facility, said Kasulis, an associate professor of marketing at OU and a member of the Norman Optimist Club. The club has leased the hangar since the early 1970s to host kids' activities such as wrestling, track, Special Olympics, table tennis tournaments, carnivals and other events, but mostly basketball.
The Navy built the 310-by-140-foot hangar in the days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Erected around 20 massive "triple-hinged" glue-laminated wood arches anchored in thick concrete, the hangar was a centerpiece of a Naval Air Station here. The station sprang up quickly after the Navy, hearing OU had just completed Max Westheimer Field for a new university flight training program, leased the North Base site.
Rarely used for aircraft, the hangar became such a popular spot for indoor drills and athletics for sailors that a commander ordered its floor covered with finished oak. After the war, when the military no longer needed the base, the hangar, along with other North Base buildings, became the property of OU.
Unfortunately, OU crews had to bulldoze the oak floor after pipes burst during a freeze. "It flooded the place and just buckled all the floors," said Sherrill Howery, a charter member of the Optimists.
In the early 1970s, the Optimist Club leased the building for its growing basketball program for kids. Club members laid new tile for all five basketball courts, and the games have been going ever since.
Inside, air conditioning consists of the breeze that blows through when the giant doors on either end are rolled open. The building has natural gas furnaces, but numerous holes and no insulation make it difficult to heat. Viewed through a thermal imaging device that detects heat loss, said Bud Wilson, Optimist member and a retired structural engineer, "This sucker looks like a plume."
Orange spots dot the floor where someone once used spray paint to mark roof leaks. The building has had numerous upgrades, including roofing and electrical, but Optimists hope to add siding and do much more to preserve and improve it.
In the quiet of the night, the old hangar creaks and groans, Howery said. A caretaker was inside one night when an electrical storm lit overhead steel pipes with a blue "St. Elmo's fire," Wilson said. "He could hardly wait to get out."
Offices on either side of the building at one time were used by the OU Art Department. One student brought in a couch, saying he wanted to nap occasionally while working there. Then he brought in a TV. And a hot plate. "OU finally kicked the guy out because they found out his mail was being delivered there," Kasulis said.
Animals take refuge inside, too. Caretakers regularly chase out skunks and possums, and stray cats show up occasionally. "I'd grab one and throw him in here at night," Howery said, you know, to clear out the mice. And starlings slip through all the holes to nest inside. This attracted a "resident hawk."
"He used to roost right up there," Howery said, pointing to a spot high overhead.
But these days, Building 1005 is mostly about kids, at least 65,000 of them. That's how many from Norman alone have played basketball or other sports — sometimes at the rate of 48 games a day, by one count almost 2,500 games in one year — in the building.
"You definitely don't find a structure like that anymore," Optimist board member Dirk Marley said.

Dr. Kui Xie is an associate professor in Learning Technologies in Department of Educational Studies at The Ohio State University (OSU). He earned his Ph.D. in Instructional Psychology and Technology from University of Oklahoma. Prior to joining in the faculty at OSU, he worked at Mississippi State University, where he received his tenure and was promoted to associate professor in 2012. Dr. Xie is a member of the Editorial Boards for the journal: Contemporary Educational Psychology and the journal: Technology, Knowledge and Learning. He is an elected Secretary/Treasurer for American Educational Research Association Special Interest Group Design and Technology. Besides academic experience, he also had work experience in industry as a multimedia specialist and as an instructional design consultant.
The driving question behind his current research is how to design, develop and integrate innovative technology capable of promoting students' motivation and cognitive engagement in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) activities to achieve a positive impact on human learning. By integrating advanced computing technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, web2.0 techniques, and etc.), he believes collaborative learning can be more pertinent and manageable in authentic teaching and learning practice. The advanced computing technologies can be used as not only communication or productive tools, but also cognitive tools to promote motivation for learning, to facilitate hands-on, and to provide scaffoldings for complex cognitive activities. He also believes that the CSCL environments also have the capacity to provide analytical insights and afford new analytical methodologies (such as, learning analytics and social network analysis) to better inform educational research and instructional design. Dr. Xie's research will systemically bring motivation and cognitive support to CSCL.
Dr. Xie is leading a Digital Learning Research Laboratory at OSU. In order to achieve his research goal, he decomposed his research focus into the following areas:
– Computer-supported collaborative learning
– Motivation and human cognition
– Learning analytics and social network analysis
– Artificial intelligence in education
– Virtual world and educational games
– Instructional design and development
– Problem solving and scaffolding
– Technology integration in teaching and educational research
Dr. Kui Xie is involved in several projects in collaboration with experts from various fields, such as, computer science and engineering, social science, psychology and cognitive science.

I think I have shingles. I'm going to go to verify that's what this is, but I have a couple of questions. I know it's contagious.. but is it contagious in the way that anyone who has had chicken pox could get shingles from being exposed to me? Or is it that anyone that hasn't been exposed to CP could get it if exposed to me? I don't plan on going out except to go to the clinic, but a couple of people were planning to come over. I have emailed them, but I think this info would be helpful. Thanks in advance. |

Barbara Walters had never had chicken pox but caught it from being exposed to someone with shingles most recently. Glad you're going to the Dr. If caught early they will start you on medication and the side effects of shingles will be lessened greatly. |
This post was edited by georgysmom on Mon, Mar 18, 13 at 10:31
That's right, I forgot about Barbara Walters getting it. |
Get thee to the doctor asap! Getting the antivirals within 48 hours of outbreak can make a huge difference in how long it lasts. Yes, if you have open sores, you're contagious. |
Ok, thank you. I will do that. |
Stay away from pregnant females and those on chemo. Get started on antivirals to lessen the symptoms. |
I woke one morning and thought I'd been bitten a couple of times by a spider -- red marks on my forehead above my right eye. I was seen that noon, diagnosed with shingles, put on a herpes medication -- and sent to have my right eye examined by an ophthalmologist (just in case the eye was involved; it wasn't). I stayed away from infants, children and pregnant women until I had no more open or crusting sores -- about three weeks. Good luck! My case was mild. I got the shingles vaccine a year later. |
I had them once, I was at the E.R. with my mil who was very sick and we had to wait for hours. When she was finally seen, I was standing next to the dr. and he looked at me and said "what's that on your neck" I thought it was a rash but it hurt. He said "you have shingles" . It was too late for the med but it went away after another two weeks. Since then I've gotten the shingles vaccine as you can get shingles more than once. Good luck. |
Well, it's confirmed to be shingles and I've started the anti virals. Shingles are no joke, but this too shall pass. Thanks all, for your advice. |
I'm glad you got it diagnosed. When I tried to get the vaccine a couple of years ago after I had them, they said I was too young. But now the age has been changed so I need to get in there. $200 for the shot though. Wow! The worst part about shingles is you stay contagious for a long time. When I got out (others went to the grocery store for me) I would tell people I had shingles and to wash their hands as soon as money was exchanged. It did freak a couple of people out though! lol Thankfully mine was mild and on my tummy. I've never had bad pain from it and it hasn't hurt since. Are your's hurting? |
Just a reminder, even young girls can get shingles. My kids both had chicken pox when they were young. When my younger daughter was in high school, she developed an itchy rash on her stomach. She went to a doctor, who told her it was shingles but it was too late for treatment. It went away on its own. We were careful not to share linens. |
I find it to be very, very painful. I am putting cold cloths with baking soda on my rashes, and that helps a great deal. Luckily I can stay home for however long it takes. I'm so tired anyway, maybe from the meds. |
Susan -- so sorry for the pain. I'd hoped you'd gotten on the meds early enough that it might be a mild case. Where is the rash? Have you been stressed more than usual recently? I think my case was due to stress. I had a couple of busy weeks then had a houseguest to entertain. (I'm no entertainer.) |
Sorry to hear you have shingles, Susan. My sister in law is just getting over them, and she said it was awful. I am glad you are getting treated early. |
Thanks, ladies. Chisue, the first one started under my left breast, and now it has spread to a bigger spot a little lower and closer to the center of my abdomen. I didn't think I was any more stressed than usual, but I'm dealing with brain tumour issues and that's not always easy. The ER doc said she reviewed my medical history and feels I have a low functioning immune system. I'm still having some issues with my wrist. I discovered it was broken in October (I think) when the chiropractor sent me for an xray. I have no idea when or how I broke it, but it was a fragility break. I may have mentioned that when it happened, I can't remember. Anyway, I pass the time trying to enjoy myself developing skills in hobbies I enjoy- gardening, cake decorating and sewing. I'm a very nervous sewer, for some reason. I just try to stay focussed on positive activities. I do believe my shingles could have been worse.. I had started to get that same pain around my side towards the back, but nothing has developed there as of yet. Fingers crossed (but it's hard to type that way). |
I remember as a child seeing my grandmother suffer from shingles. She had them on her chest, and was in a lot of pain. |
Um, yes, I would certainly diagnose a tad of STRESS! How about just sitting around reading, watching DVD's and eating bon-bons for a while? Think calm thoughts. Watch the clothes go 'round in the washer. Do the deep breathing thing. Nap. Wishing you WELL, |
When I had a mild case of shingles, I had pain around my waist but the rash never showed up there, only on my leg. Susan, I've been wondering how you're doing but didn't want to call you out. I hope you are doing well and that your tumor is being kept at bay or eradicated! Yes, use this time to relax, if at all possible. I wish you a quick recovery. |
I am going to try to relax more, it's true that it makes my symptoms easier to tolerate. Thanks for thinking of me sjerin, and others who wish me well. It's very much appreciated. |

We're always on the move. It's the nature of business these days, especially in public relations and marketing. Add franchising on top of that and you know you've seen your fair share of hotels, conferences, airport lounges and the inside of a coffee shop for a quick 5-minute Wi-Fi fix.
Sure, a high speed 4-G connection on your phone is great, but how about full blown access to the web wherever you go for all of your devices - or even with other users?
Mobile providers like Verizon and Sprint are offering just that with these credit card devices that turn a 3G/4G connection into a Wi-Fi signal that can be shared by multiple devices no matter where you are - an airport, in a client's office, on a train, or eating dinner at the Marriott's bar.
Devices and deals vary by carrier, but expect to be paying at least $35 for around 3GB of data. You want more, then you have to pay.
Some more sophisticated smartphones are also getting into the game as well. Many can now share their 3G/4G connections with others via Wi-Fi for an additional cost.

Kinston, North Carolina might be a sleepy little town with a per capita income of $18,000 a year, but it's now home to high tech production for the next generation of widebody aircraft.
The video below, filmed by me and created by Spirt AeroSystems, shows what all the buzz is about, and even includes a Noth Cah-line-ah accent….
Spirit starting this month is beginning to build Airbus A350 cabin and wing components at its new centre of excellence in Kinston.
Officials held a grand opening ceremony on 1 July, with Airbus president and CEO Tom Enders commenting that Kinston will see more work from Airbus in the future, potentially from the US Air Force's KC-X tanker program, should Airbus win.
At full capacity, the 46,468m2 (500,000ft2) facility, adjacent to the Kinston Regional Jetport, could manufacture10-13 cabin sections and forward wing spar components per month, says Enders. The A350′s cabin will be built in three sections by three different manufacturers, with each section composed of four or more composite panels, a fundamentally different approach to construction than Boeing used for the 787 with its four barrel sections.
Below is a video of some of the robotic machinery dancing to the beat of composite cabin panels being built up…
Airbus is building three variants of the A350, with the 315-passenger -900 version to enter service mid-2013, followed by the 276-passenger A350-800 in mid-2014 and the 379-passenger A350-1000 at the end of 2015. The company has 535 orders for the aircraft, three from private customers. Airbus is promising a 25% lower fuel burn per seat basis versus compared to the Boeing 777, an aircraft the A350 will compete with, along with older Boeing 747s and the 787.
Below is a presentation provided by Spirit.

Economic Survival–A Time Bank for Such a Time as This
Below is a video about time banks. In particular, it features the Onion River Exchange Time Bank in Vermont.
In a time bank, no money is exchanged. Members of a community support each other with the exchange of favors and services. but it's not quite barter. It provides a way to keep goods and services flowing while building relationships beyond the usual business transactions.
Watch the video to get a better understanding of how a time bank works.

It's design is taken "loosely" from some of the Pennsylvania Dutch hex signs. I just changed it to a "house blessing" theme. |

Hex signs were used to "ward off evil spirits." They are very large sometimes and people would hang them on the front of their barns or homes. - Yes Des arc, a house blessing is exactly what it is. Again, very nice, and yes you are quite a character - make me smile and giggle. Thanks. Sal |

Nuclear Disarmament
Paul Flynn (Newport West, Labour)
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what resources have been allocated to nuclear disarmament-related research by (a) his Department and (b) the Atomic Weapons Establishment in each year since 2010-11.
Philip Dunne (The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence; Ludlow, Conservative)
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) does not undertake nuclear disarmament research internally. The MOD funds Nuclear Arms Control and Verification Research at the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) where a core team of five personnel are dedicated to the programme drawing on expertise and resources from other parts of AWE and the MOD as necessary.
In financial year 2010-11 the funding was £2.227 million and in financial year 2011-12 it was £2.125 million. Figures for those additional resources drawn from other AWE programmes could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

I had an idea and was wondering if anyone had good input or advice. I'm wondering how hard it would be to insulate a stock water tank so it won't freeze in the winter. It doesn't normally get any colder than 10 degrees here in the winter. I was thinking of setting the tank on a piece of insulating styrene board, then framing the whole thing with plywood, leaving maybe a 1-2" gap between the wood and the tank, then filling the whole thing with Great Stuff expanding foam. I thought then perhaps I'd paint the plywood black to attract more sun, and probably cover part of the tank with either plexiglass or black-painted plywood so the entire surface wouldn't be exposed to the air. What do you think? Would it work? Anyone have any better ideas? The field is too far to run an electric heater. |

I haven't a clue really but I wonder if you wouldn't be better off filling the space with concrete or gravel or something like that to store heat from the sun...Even milk jugs filled with water or drums of water... |

How big of tank? What kind of animals are you watering? I water horses in a shed, with 5-gallon buckets hanging from a wall, twice a day. They freeze, of course, and I dump out the ice. I water sheep on the ground, also with 5 gallon buckets. They freeze, too. If there is no snow on the ground, the sheep buckets freeze first, and have thicker ice. Obviously, the horse shed gives protection from cold. If there is a foot or more of snow on the ground, the horse buckets freeze first, and have thicker ice. The snow insulates the sheep buckets better than the shed does. So, I believe that an insulated container could provide a lot of protection. Based upon how well the snow works, I believe you will not have much ice developing, and the ice you do get can be scraped off the top, or dumped out easy. Your container needs to be easily separated from your insulated box, so you can dump ice, or clean, or refill easier. Horses are hard on anything, and might likely destroy an insulated box. That's one reason I asked what animals. |
Thanks for all the info, especially the link to how to build a freeze-resistant tank. That's exactly the sort of thing I'm thinking of. But I guess if I did a 35-gallon barrel, I'd need to build 2 of them. Jeffrey, it will be for 2 horses to start with. I figured foam isn't that heavy, so it should still be easy enough to dump the water to clean them out. |

I can't believe it's not crying! After a "night of triumph" in Monday's semifinals, robotic-giggle-generator/professional tearjerker Maria Menounos and her partner Derek Hough headed home from the Dancing With the Stars ballroom. The overlords of Planet Mirrorballus (viewers like you) have decided Maria is not an asset to the Danceton Abbey. She seemed completely at peace with this by the time Tom announced her fate and she remained miraculously dry-eyed throughout their final chat, in which she wholeheartedly acknowledged "I wouldn't have made it this far without [Derek's] amazing talents and choreography." Nice!
At least now Derek will get to stop disappearing into mirrorwalls to avoid rehearsal studio stress.
I don't think it's a shock that Maria and Derek headed home despite earning Monday's top scores. Just three points separated the top and bottom couples, and no matter who went home, we had the satisfaction of a very competitive final four. This was all up to viewer votes -- any elimination would have been upsetting. Take it from Tom, who stalled to point out the harsh truth as Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd stood "in jeopardy" with Maria and Derek: "No matter which way this goes, it's gonna suck."
We still have no idea "whose fault" Katherine Jenkins' slip-up was during Monday night's salsa -- and I think it's absurd to try and investigate it any further. I never want to see that footage again! But we saw it twice more in slow-motion -- a good chance to live vicariously through the TV screen and imagine our own backs spasming out at any given frame. What fun for everyone.
Katherine looked terrified before she and Mark were announced as safe 10 minutes into the show, but then they practically danced an exhibition Latin routine -- the ya ya ya? -- in celebration of their place in the finals. So it looks like she's physically fine. Dr. Bergeron's prognosis: positive. There was something in the grassy knoll.
Julianne Hough -- long-lost dance pro, acclaimed rocker of ages, and Ryan Seacrest's girlfriend (I always need a few extra seconds to let that sink in...and then bobble back up to the surface) -- returned to the ballroom to thrash around and wail with none other than Mary J. Freaking Blige and costar Diego Boneta in a plug for Rock of Ages. This performance was hilarious and so complicated staging-wise that I couldn't believe it was really liiiiiiiiiiiiive.
But it was! Tom even got to interview Julianne's '80s hair after the group number. I initially typed that as "grope number" which I think would have been fairly accurate as well. I'm glad Julianne wore a seafoam (the universal color of rock and roll) fringed bodysuit to distinguish herself as Our Pro from the other talented dancers. Dynamo choreographer Mia Michaels was responsible for this number, so that might explain why I rewound it three times to relive its general momentum and ridiculata.

The Cowboys have plenty of money. Enough to famously build a massive stadium with a screen which adds about 48 pounds, instead of the usual 10. Right now, though, they can't use any of that money to buy football players.
That's a problem, because it's made one avenue to improve their team — free agency — virtually unavailable. The Cowboys have just over $100,000 in cap space, but they'll get more once an extension is successfully negotiated with pass rusher Anthony Spencer or quarterback Tony Romo.
And once they do that, they can sign at least one player. Today we found out what that players' name will be: Justin Durant.
The Cowboys have agreed to a deal in principle with the apparently soon-to-be former Lions linebacker, according to Adam Schefter. He'll be signed to a two-year contract in due time once that cap space is cleared, and after he recorded a career high 103 tackles this past season Durant will fortify the Cowboys' rush defense alongside Sean Lee and Bruce Carter. Lee was sorely missed in 2012 when his season ended prematurely following a toe injury in Week 7. The result was Dallas allowing 125.2 rushing yards per game (22nd), a year after opposing rushers were held to 99.1 yards per game.
Durant was ranked as the 18th best 4-3 tackling linebacker by Pro Football Focus. I know, you're not impressed, because 18th is the 17th loser, or something. But we're exactly two weeks into free agency, and if you can get a top 20 player who fits a very specific need at this point, you should give that man money.
And Justin, the Cowboys will give you money. Someday.
