Olympus TOUGH TG-810: The First Camera You Can Sit On (Without Destroying it)
There are quite a few rugged cameras available, but only the new Olympus TOUGH TG-810 is crushproof up to 220 lbs. Technically speaking, you could sit on it and try to crush it and it should survive. It even looks indestructible.
The TG-810 is also waterproof up to 33 feet, shockproof (meaning that you can drop it safely from a height of 6.6 feet), and freezeproof (it can withstand temperatures as low as 14˚F). That's a pretty rugged camera!
The rugged camera has a 14 MP sensor, 5× optical zoom, 720p HD video recording capability with HDMI out, panorama, 3D and underwater shooting modes, and more. It's also got a built-in GPS, electronic compass, and a manometer (depth sensor). The TOUGH TG-810 will be available on April 11th for about $400 (USD).

"first crushproof camera"? Olympus has made a 220# crushproof since the 1030SW. 3 years ago.
Great Cameras… I have the 1030sw and the 8000. Just make sure you clean these when you use in salt water. I made that mistake last year. Lesson Learned!!! I will be getting this camera next week.

Wainiha Travel Tips
Wainiha Condos are Made for Comfort and Relaxation
A vacation on Kauai should not be considered complete until you stay at Wainiha vacation homes for at least a few nights. If you want more privacy and space than most hotels offer, while still getting the benefit of being close to the beach, you will be pleased with condos for rent in this area. Not only are Wainiha condos pleasantly furnished for your comfort, but they also offer breathtaking views of the island. Kauai is known for its sandy beaches and evergreen tropical foliage, and condos in this area allow you the perfect view of such scenery.
Enjoy Kauai by Checking out Nearby Attractions
If you prefer to get out and about rather than relax in your Wainiha condo, you can check out the nearby town of Hanalei, which boasts restaurants, bars, and a grocery store among things to do in the area. Of course, if you want to stick to the natural scenery as much as possible, picturesque Hanalei Bay is a short drive away and is th perfect place to watch surfers do what they do best. If staying in an area surrounded by scenic hiking paths, tropical fruit trees, and the salty sea breeze sounds perfect to you, Wainiha condos will exceed your expectations.
Let the Comforting Décor of Your Wainiha Condo Relax you
Many Wainiha vacation homes are decorated in such a way that you feel at home while on vacation, at least when you are indoors. They are typically stylish yet comfortable and include most items that you will need in order to enjoy your time on Kauai. Quaint, tropical décor mixes with modern touches, such as newer appliances and ample lighting so that your stay in one of the Kauai vacation rentals is as pleasant and convenient as possible.

She also served as secretary to the president of Texas A&I University for many years. Several of Jones' quilts will be displayed in the museum lobby, including this year's signature piece entitled Hummers.
Also new this year is the Viewer's Choice Quilt. Museum visitors may vote on their favorite quilt with the winners announced at the reception Jan. 16.
"We are very pleased to welcome the Kingsville Saturday Quilters back once again for our annual Celebration of Quilts," said Jonathan Plant, museum director. "These talented individuals never cease to amaze me with their skill, creativity and dedication to detail."
The Kingsville Saturday Quilters meet the fourth Saturday of the month at the Kleberg County Extension Building in Kingsville.
The museum is located at 905 W. Santa Gertrudis Ave. Museum hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Admission to the museum is free, however, donations are accepted. For more information, call 361-593-2810.

Lexus ES 300/ES 330 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
motownusa Posts: 836YOU MUST GET THE ML SOUND SYSTEM !!!!!!!!! Don't get the standard stereo that comes with the ES. It absolutely sucks compare to the ML. I am somewhat surprised that the ML system is hard to find for MY 06. My uncle's 02 ES300 has the ML sound system whereas my Camry has Pioneer stereo system, the same stereo used on the base ES and there is no comparison.
inmrkt4lexus Posts: 4
inmrkt4lexus Posts: 4The options vary based on the zip code you enter. CA zip codes provide the most packages, ML being one of them. It is confusing because the website does not list ML option for the DC metro area which includes Northern VA. But I found a 2006 listed in the inventory for Lindsay Lexus in VA with ML option. It was offered on only 1 of 66 new cars listed on the site. I tried zip codes from MA to FL along the east coast on the lexus web site and none of them came up with ML option. So, I guess if you want the option, you have to hope that the area dealer has a few cars with it. But that means that the price becomes less negotiable.
inmrkt4lexus Posts: 4Does anyone know what kind of discounts are offered during the 'Dec to remember' program? Perhaps, some one remembers the 2004 program. I have been able to find out from using google that the finance rates were lowered. I was not able to find out whether there were any price discounts or additional options offered (big red bow does not count). Appreciate any help.
aaronb1 Posts: 6I emailed the local Atlanta dealers to get their take on the ML option, and so far they report it being readily available here. Here are the package levels and prices one dealer replied with for the 2006 models:
- MSRP $34,384 Level 1 17" Wheels & Summer Tires, Wood Trim Steering Wheel, 6 CD In-Dash Changer, Wheel locks, Cargo Net, and Cargo Mat
- MSRP $35,874 Level 2 17" Wheels & Summer Tires, Wood Trim Steering Wheel, 6 CD In-Dash Changer, Heated & Ventilated Seats, High Intensity Headlights & Rain Sensing Wipers, Power Rear Shade, Wheel locks, Cargo Net, and Cargo Mat
- MSRP $37,524 Level 3 17" Wheels & Summer Tires, Wood Trim Steering Wheel, Heated & Ventilated Seats, High Intensity Headlights & Rain Sensing Wipers, Power Rear Shade, Navigation System, Wheel locks, Cargo Net, and Cargo Mat
- MSRP $39,214 Level 4 17" Wheels & Summer Tires, Wood Trim Steering Wheel, Heated & Ventilated Seats, High Intensity Headlights & Rain Sensing Wipers, Power Rear Shade, Navigation System, Mark Levinson Audio, Adjustable pedals, Wheel locks, Cargo Net, and Cargo Mat
This answers my question from earlier about what to ask for when getting quotes. Looks like if I want Levinson sound, I need quotes on Level 4 cars. -
inmrkt4lexus Posts: 4Good that Atlanta dealers are able to procure vehicles with all the options. I just got an email from a Virginia dealer that ML system and adjustable pedals have to be special ordered. Another salesperson that I spoke with at the dealership said that there will be a 3 to 4 month wait for adjustable pedals. He said that the cars for East coast dealers are shipped to New Jersey and South Carolina.
By the way, I entered 2 zip codes, 30303 and 30319 in the lexus website. Neither returned an option package containing ML and adjustable pedals. So, your dealer must be maintaining pretty good inventory. -
seabush Posts: 68Lexus Lindsay is located in my area. They have 10 ($39,074 MSRP) 2006 models with ML system included:
See the following:
http://lindsaylexusof.reachlocal.net/new_inventory.htm?start=35 -
atoews Posts: 637I have tracked prices for the past couple of years, and although Lexus does not advertise lower prices (only better financing), the prices in December are typically lower, perhaps up to savings of about 1-1.5% MSRP. In other words, where vehicles typically go for 90% MSRP, they are more obtainable for 88.5%-89% in December.
My view is that this is because of two reasons:
1. Vehicles purchases slow in winter and Lexus wants to encourage folks to visit the dealerships.
2. It can be close to the end of the model year.
I would predict fairly good prices on 2006s because of many estimates that have the 2007 into the dealerships by Spring of 2006.
The 2007 will be a major change, if Lexus sticks to its pattern of making major design changes every five years. -
atoews Posts: 637
atoews Posts: 637Yes, this is why, when posting deals, I don't pay attention to terms like "fully loaded" which is open to wide interpretation.
That aside, an MSRP of $34,500 does not represent a fully loaded vehicle to me. I would look for $37,000 - $39,000+ in "fully loaded" vehicles. ML and NAV are not cheap options. -
atoews Posts: 637Seabush, I'd go even further and say that you should EXPECT to pay 90% MSRP or less. Negotiate if a dealer quotes you more.
In my view, however, 80% is completely bizarre. No poster has received even close to this price. The absolute lowest feasible price that I have seen is approx. 87% MSRP.
I would not post a deal of 80% in my summaries, unless I confirmed with the dealer that the quote was real. -
atoews Posts: 637I believe that the posters who have stated that ML is not available are mistaken, but that's not too hard to understand considering that various dealers can mislead potential purchasers, either purposely or by accident.
That aside, here is what I have learned about Lexus/Toyota:
1. Very difficult to order specific options. Sometimes it works fine to order what you want, but other times the options are just plain unavailable.
If you do order one, you need to do it immediately when vehicles of the new model year come out. If you wait, your special order may never get made.
2. Lexus does not make that many vehicles. Specifically, at times you may be forced to compromise on your desired options. For example, my boyfriend bought a 2004 ES330 in August of 2004, after the 2005s appeared on dealerships. The only 2004 with NAV to be had in Texas was Alabaster metallic, a color he did not really want.
So, if it appears that the 2006 does not come with ML, it may be just that the specific vehicles delivered to dealers in your area do not have ML. So the dealer tells you ML is not available on 2006 and the buyer interprets that as the 2006 does not come from the factory with ML. -
hunter06 Posts: 16Atoews: Thanks for sharing the NJ quotes.
I have been looking at mostly NJ dealerships since they are also recommended in the wholesale clubs' car buying program. Though the fixed price offered though the program for this region is supposed to be $500 over invoice but I guess its a good place to start negotiations because the dealer was willing to offer on invoice.
Little Falls is also a recommended dealership. Ray Catena / Tri County and Prestige. I am not sure which one is the biggest on East coast.
I would not mind driving since the ones close by are not as good unless they can match the price. -
atoews Posts: 637Don't feel bad about not getting 86% MSRP. So far, the lowest CREDIBLE deal I have seen on this site is just over 87% MSRP and that is extremely unusual. Hopefully, you can get 88% - 88.5% which seems reasonable lately, esp in So Cal. You should be able to get 90% almost everywhere.
Let me know your final deal, including MSRP, price, geograhical region, model year, and dealer. -
hurstian Posts: 10OK, I took delivery today during lunch break. It took about 40 minutes( I did all the paper work yesterday). Car was nice and clean with a full tank of gas. odometer reading was 9 when I got it.
It is the silver 2006 ES330 with 17" wheel/CD changer/rear sun shade/cargo net of MSRP of $35234. Dealer showed me invoice price of $31400. Paid $30668.
I am in Texas. -

My family and I moved into our new home 3 months ago. Turned on the heat and the end of October and my wife who stays home with our toddler age kids noticed the stuffy air in the basement. I reached up with my hand against registers and the airflow is really low - probably less than half of what it feels like on the main level. We had a heating tune-up, seasonal checkup done yesterday and were told the furnace runs well - no issues. The filters are clean. We also had a contractor today who inspected the ducts - the main duct and the return down in the utility room. He said that he could not see any dampers on the main supply duct (that goes up from the furnace leading up to the main level and branches off horizontally to the basement). He also said that he thought there may be registers that have been sealed off inside the drywalls; or some other problem that's restricting airflow velocity. This is a Winchester Homes colonial type SFH built in 1999. The basement was finished by the previous owner after they initially bought the house. Is there a cost-effective way to repair this problem without opening up drywalls to locate a potential area of air leakage or airflow being restricted? Do you know of any specific tests or equipment that can be used/installed to troubleshoot this problem? Thank you very much! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I assume the finished area has concealed the duct work which supplies the register in the basement. Can you trace back to the furnace the duct which supplies this register? Can you figure out if this branch feeds registers on the first or second floor? If you can figure out how the duct system is connected, I suggest you trying closing a register in the house which is on the same feed as the one in the basement. Once you close it see if changes the air flow to the basement register. If it does not, then I suspect the duct work in the finished area either has a bad leak or has become disconnected. You could also have a return problem in the basement. Open the basement door and see if that has any affect on the air floor. If it does, then you need to add a return in the finished area. My guess is the duct work was disconnected or it is a flexible duct which goes around a bend and has a tight kink in it. If that is the case then the only real solution is to open the drywall. |
- Posted by david_cary (My Page) on Wed, Dec 5, 12 at 8:24
Is it possible the airflow is low by design? You said it feels stuffy but is the temperature okay? Stuffy could be a lot of things. Basements often have very low heating and cooling needs. I have a trickle coming out of my basement registers. The temp is fine. If the temp is fine, you might not want to blame the HVAC ductwork. |

"Yes, this is really good-tastes like the vin chaud we get here in Switzerland. I added one more clove and the juice of half a lemon, just to be different. I discovered this works wonders for the common cold-1 small glass every 30 minutes and in 3 days my cold was gone!"
"Excellent! Tasty, easy to prepare, and perfect for lunch. I made a few minor changes - I used a larger chicken breast (200g), and reduced the butter to 1 tsp and oil to 2 tsp. I added 2 tsp of rose wine ("cooking juice") when I added the rice. I wanted to add the curry powder, but forgot :-) so I added a splash of soy sauce when I served it. ..."
"A superb marinade. I grilled for 40 a few weeks ago and marinaded about half the pork and half the steak in this for 3 or 4 hours in advance. The difference in taste and texture was really noticeable, and I had made many requests for the recipe - I sent them here. Changes: besides changes for quantity, I added 1 TBSP more of basalmic vinegar, ..."
"This was really good - I prepared it along with beef stew for my wife's birthday party. I added half again the salsa (salsa in Switzerland is bland, even the stuff marked HOT, IMHO), and cooked it in the oven rather than in a crock-pot. I also used some herbed soft cheese rather than simple cream cheese. It was a real hit. I made lots of extra..."
"Excellent! I added a hot chopped chili pepper (red) and, following Terri's thoughts, added some garlic and carrot. It's great! I did not originally add water, but I simmered it too long, and added 1/4 cup to thin it a bit. The overcooking wasn't a problem as far as taste is concerned. Fed it to a French friends - he loved it!"
"Very good, but I agree with LifeIsGood concerning garlic - I will definitely use fresh next time. Being on a weight-loss binge these days, I made a change to the recipe - I used dried Knorr cream of chicken soup instead of condensed cram of mushroom. The package made one liter of soup, and I used 400 ml of it as a substitute. It knocked about 10..."

4. Moto X Freestyle Final
Easily the X Games' most dangerous event, with riders constantly pushing its motorcychotic limits. FMX offers riders a Hungry Man tray of different ramps and jumps on which to showcase as many tricks — front flips, double backflips, flying alongside the bike — as they can cram in a minute.
The FMX event has been a laboratory for innovations that have sent the evolution of the sport into hyperdrive the last 10 years, often at the expense of the occasional femur, vertebrae, or whole rider.

Nothing if not self-aware, Biss does lay claim to some measure of difference from her demographic peers. She takes a distinct pride in loving "the New York of Harlem and Inwood and Washington Heights," and notes in an aside that the word "gentrification" agitates her husband because it is used negatively by the very people—artists, students, and so forth—that benefit from it. Still, despite this desire to differentiate herself from other white folks who may be less preoccupied by how the other half lives, she understands that fairly or not, it is nature, and not nurture, that often plays the bigger part in defining what a person is.
And that, ultimately, is why Biss can write this book. Traversing an isthmus between white America and non-white America, she notes her own, ample opportunities, yet refuses to relinquish the struggle for racial identity to those that have traditionally been more oppressed. This willingness to walk back and forth on that thin strip of land is both her vulnerability and her greatest strength.
The concluding essay in the collection is called "All Apologies." It's a series of apologies (and non-apologies) issued throughout history: the Hartford Courant apologized for having accepted advertisements for slaves; Korean War veteran Ed Daily apologized for the massacre in the village of No Gun Ri, even though he hadn't himself participated; F.W. de Klerk apologized for apartheid; Reagan signed a bill apologizing to Japanese Americans for their internment during World War II, but resisted apology all the same, calling it a "mistake." At the end of the essay, Biss writes, "I apologize for slavery." It's less an admission of wrongdoing than a classic apologia—a formal defense, and implicit examination, of her own conduct, which is what underpins this entire book. The reader is once again reminded of those telephone poles at the turn of the twentieth century, which served as both gallows and technological thruway. That nexus implicates all of us, and Biss puts it in plain view: for a moment, at least, we see even what is unseen.

Phat Loot Phriday: Fang of Oblivion {WoW}
Jun 12th 2009 7:53PM As Maleven said, this drops from Steelbreaker, which is the hardest version of Iron Council. It drops if you kill him last, which requires a lot of DPS combined with tanks able to take a few powered up fusion punches.

Ask WoW Insider: Instance running 101 {WoW}
Dec 1st 2008 6:55PM -WATCH OUT FOR PATS! They're the mobs that move around, and can often be accidentally pulled when you are fighting a different group. That leads to:
-You don't need to fight the mobs exactly where they stand. Try pulling them back to where you are, which allows you more room to use AoE and avoid pats.
-Line of Sight (LOS): for ranged mobs, you'll often want to grab aggro (use a ranged ability) then run behind a corner/box/column in order to get the ranged mobs to run over to you. This will help with both the previous tips.
-You don't need to kill every mob in an instance, there are often packs you can avoid, but you'll only learn that after running a few times. It is generally a good idea to clear all mobs around a boss though, because bosses will sometimes aggro every mob in the area to the fight, when you just are trying to take on a boss.

Mages: "Living Bomb will no longer knock all targets into the air."
Druids: "Faerie Fire (Feral): Now an 11-point talent, down from being a 21-point talent." (was supposed to be replaced with Survival Instincts).
I say "Lame!" to both changes.
Read the patch notes and find actual missing things. I also noticed TK and Hyjal are not getting the HP nerf.

Sep 11th 2008 5:37PM Hey, that's actually my guild's raid ID that was stolen. In fact, I'm the one who put those screenshots up on Flickr.
A few updates on the Illidan theft:
-We downed our first Illidan the next reset, so we probably would have killed the one that was stolen.
-We did open several tickets with Blizzard, and apparently the person who used the ninja-invite technique got banned for 3 days (about a week after we opened the ticket). All the items they got were supposedly deleted. Despite Virulent's annoying claims, nobody in our guild gave them the instance. If they had, Blizz wouldn't have punished anyone.
-Their guild leader apparently quit playing a few days after this, and most of their members no longer play. Apparently they were having attendance issues anyways, but it made us feel good to know that they fell apart shortly after shafting us.

Cooking with Beer: 16 Tasty Recipes Using Ale, Lager, or Stout
Beer tastes pretty great straight from the pint glass, but it also adds a subtly sweet grain flavor and enhanced body to stews, sautés, and fry-ups. Learn to cook with this barroom standard using the following delicious recipes.
Now that you're comfortable with the malted barley and hops, try your hand at mixing cocktails made with beer or learn basic tips on how to pair beer with your favorite dishes, even pizza.
Beer-Can Roasted Chicken with Fig-Jam Pan Sauce
If juiciness is your goal, pop open a frosty one, set your chicken on top of the can, and then leave the pair alone in the privacy of your oven. The stout makes the meat incredibly moist and gives it a subtle sweet-and-malty flavor. A little leftover beer blended with a couple of tablespoons of fig jam transforms the pan drippings into a rich, tasty gravy.
Stove-Top Clambake
Adding the ingredients in the right order is the secret to this recipe's success; the ones that take longest to cook go in first. The optional layer of seaweed (available from most fishmongers) imparts a salty ocean essence and keeps the potatoes off the bottom of the pot.
Recipe: Stove-Top Clambake
Poblano Chiles Stuffed with Corn and Monterey Jack Cheese
You can stuff anything into a poblano chile and fry it, and it will taste good. Serve this rendition with sour cream as a side dish or as a vegetarian main dish.
Recipe: Poblano Chiles Stuffed with Corn and Monterey Jack Cheese
Beer-Battered Fish
This beer batter can also be used for chicken tenders, onion rings, and zucchini slices.
Recipe: Beer-Battered Fish
Chicken with Cornmeal Dumplings
This stew has a zesty New Orleans feel. Ice down the beer and crank up the music!
Recipe: Chicken with Cornmeal Dumplings
Chili-Braised Brisket
Long, slow, moist cooking (we use beer for the liquid) makes brisket extraordinarily tender. A simple, four-ingredient spice rub adds a little sass.
Recipe: Chili-Braised Brisket
Slow-Roasted Pork with Kumquats
Slow-roasting the pork with liquid (a mix of ale and water) in the pan makes the meat fall-apart tender. A blast of heat at the end crisps the skin.
Recipe: Slow-Roasted Pork with Kumquats
Beer-Baked White Beans
These white beans are baked in ale for ultimate flavor. A pale ale, such as Blue Moon or Hoegaarden, works best for this recipe.
Recipe: Beer-Baked White Beans
30-Minute Chili
This recipe makes eight one-cup servings, which along with a hearty side like homemade cornbread or cheesy potatoes, makes enough for another stick-to-your-ribs meal for later in the week.
Recipe: 30-Minute Chili
Braised Pork Shoulder
Make an irresistible dinner (or three!) with a slow-cooked pork shoulder that has the perfect flavors for a cool evening. Use this recipe to make open-faced porchetta sandwiches or ribbon pasta with pork ragu. Use the pork skin to make roasted baby potatoes with cracklings and chives.
Recipe: Braised Pork Shoulder
Beer-Braised Sausages with Warm Potato Salad
Beer, sausage, and potatoes are a classic combination. Simmer everything together to make a satisfying one-pot meal.
Beer-Battered Onion Rings
The buttermilk-beer batter, seasoned with cayenne, yields a golden coating on the fried rings that gets even better when spritzed with lemon juice.
Recipe: Beer-Battered Onion Rings
Barbecued Pork-Shoulder Chops
Garlic and sage, rubbed into the pork ahead of time, impart an earthy, aromatic flavor. The meat is then moistened by a beer marinade and basted on the grill with a thick, tangy tomato-based sauce.
Recipe: Barbecued Pork-Shoulder Chops
Irish Lamb Stew
This satisfying stew, filled with tender lamb and vegetables simmered in a beer-based broth, is just the cure for a chilly evening.
Recipe: Irish Lamb Stew
Irish Beef and Stout Stew
Warm your belly with a comforting bowl of this easy freezer-friendly beef stew.
Recipe: Irish Beef and Stout Stew
Pork Chops with Apples and Onions
Sautéed apples and onion are a classic combination that never disappoints. Serve atop juicy pork chops for a wholesome autumn dinner.

Linda Hendrick shares life experiences
- Jul 02, 2007
- Team Hendrick
Feature written by Barbara McKay in the March 2007 issue of The Barbara McKay Magazine: "Simply the Best."
On a chilly Sunday afternoon, October 24th, 2004, to be exact, I received a phone call from Linda Hendrick asking me to come over. Linda and I have been the best of friends for decades so I didn't even ask why, thinking maybe she may needed a little help with something. The truth was that she wanted to help me, by protecting me from hearing from someone else the most tragic news a mother could ever endure. She wanted to tell me herself that her son and other family members were on a plane that was missing at the time.
As we huddled and prayed together in a back room, the world was buzzing with the mystery. Then the news came: The missing Hendrick Motorsports plane had crashed into a mountain. There were no survivors.
I stayed at the Hendrick home for the next week just hoping I could help in some way, but the truth is that Linda's faith, courage, and strength profoundly helped and changed me. Her story may help someone you know…or maybe even you.
In Linda's words in conversation with Barbara:
BM: What was your first reaction when you heard the plane was missing?
LH: My first reaction was to fall on my knees and cry out "God help me!" I knew this was bigger than me and I needed divine help to get me through it. I went to the One who held the answers. When I heard there were no survivors, I have never hurt so badly in my life. I couldn't understand how I could hurt so much and yet still breathe, or how my heart could carry so much pain and still keep beating. In an instant, my entire life had changed forever.
BM: I remember so clearly the agony of waiting for them to find the missing plane. They thought no one would be able to find it for a long time because of the many miles of forest and mountain range shrouded in dense fog. Then something quite miraculous happened. Please talk about that.
LH: I desperately needed to know where the plane was in case some were still living and needed help. Even though the pilots said it was impossible to find for probably days, I knew that God knew exactly where it was. I began to pray for finding it. I needed answers. About that exact time, a helicopter pilot scouting the area looking for our missing plane, said the clouds in front of him just parted and he saw the crash. The pilot was so amazed because in 10 seconds, the clouds closed back up. But he then knew where to send the ground rescuers. They discovered there were no survivors. We had closure and knew we needed to accept the situation, as horrible as it was.
BM: As the reality set in, what were your thoughts?
LH: The tears were endless and the pain seemed unbearable, but I couldn't stop thinking about how thankful I was for the 24 years that I had with my son Ricky. I've learned that the greater the love, the greater the pain. So I knew how I felt was the way I was supposed to feel.
BM: Throughout our many years of friendship, I know you often have "a feeling" that something is about to happen. Did you have any forewarning that such an enormous tragedy was coming?
LH: About ten days before the tragedy, I was speaking at The Cove, the Billy Graham Retreat in the mountains of North Carolina. God's Spirit spoke to my heart telling me, "If you look at the mountains in front of you, then that's all you will ever see, but if you look up, you will see the son (spelled s-o-n) and His light and glory will shine upon you." I didn't know what that meant, but it was so powerful that I shared it with the group, thinking it was meant for someone in the audience. After the crash, I knew that it was meant for me and that God was preparing me.
BM: At 24, Ricky was extremely busy as an important part of your family business of cars and racing. Both of your schedules were very demanding, yet the two of you spent the last eight days of his life vacationing together in Hawaii, returning just the day before the crash. That timing is so extraordinary.
LH: Ricky had always wanted to go to Hawaii and I had been promising him since he was a young boy that we would go one day. I believe it was God's grace that gave me the desire and direction to plan the trip at that time. It was the last week of Ricky's life on earth and I am thankful that I was able to spend it with him and now I have those precious memories. It was truly God's gift to me.
BM: I've known Ricky since he was a little boy and watched him grow into a very popular fun-loving teen, talented no-fear athlete, a racing success, and a brilliant young business man. His talent, good looks, magnetic adorable personality, and success made him a NASCAR fan favorite and loved by all of his friends. Tell us about his spiritual side.
LH: Ricky believed at a very young age that Jesus Christ was God's Son sent to earth to forgive and rescue all who asked for His help. Everyday he asked for forgiveness and prayed for direction. It made Ricky a very loving, generous, and forgiving person who desired to live his life by the Spirit. I believe he enjoyed life and was so fun-loving because he had that peace and freedom within him of knowing everything happened for a reason and he never questioned anything, good or bad. He knew the importance of spiritual guidance. Accepting Jesus was the most important decision he ever made. Ricky's spirit never died. As believers, we know Ricky's spirit stepped out of his body wide awake and into the presence of the Lord. It was a horrible fiery plane crash, but I have the comfort of knowing that Ricky never suffered for a second. When he got on the plane that day, he thought he was getting off in Martinsville, but instead he got off in Heaven.
BM: That must keep you going.
LH: I miss Ricky's smiles, laughter, hugs and daily phone calls to tell me he loves me, but our last chapter has not been written. I have so much to look forward to because of our faith. I look forward to our living in the same world, that is grander than anything we on earth can imagine, where there will never be an end to our life together. I want to meet this Jesus that I have trusted with my life. I want to thank Him for taking care of Ricky and for giving me the comfort, peace, hope and joy to go on with my life everyday.
BM: We're told in the Bible to be thankful and joyful no matter what. How hard was that to put into action after such a horrific experience?
LH: I focus on being thankful for the 24 years I had with Ricky. I realize that he might never have been born or he could have died much earlier. I'm grateful for every second I got to enjoy with him for over 24 years. I find great comfort in knowing there was a plan for Ricky's life from the moment he was born and nothing was going to change that. It was his time to go. Ricky also believed that. We talked about it often. He told me he was ready whenever it was his time.
This tragedy has been a reminder to me that when Jesus died on the cross, He gave us even more than eternal life, He gave us hope and peace to get through this life. How could I not be grateful for that?
BM: What do you say to people who do not have your faith and strength and therefore blame God instead of turning to Him for help?
LH: People struggle to find a way to survive heartache. They sometimes think the weight of the pain or guilt will feel lighter if they blame someone or something else. God is an easy target. The problem with that is that it doesn't work, will not bring relief or give any comfort or lasting peace. It's not life against us. It's just life. My tragedy has been more than a story to tell. It's reminder that our life on this earth will not last long. Some leave before others, but we all leave. We would all prefer to leave together as a family, but that's just not the way it usually works.
This world is not all there is. Since man is God's creation, only He can fix things. Look for the answers by focusing on Him, reading the Bible, and praying. God wants to rescue us. Give Him a chance to be your friend. Whatever you have suffered, He will make it up to you. He can handle a lot more than you can. Whatever heartache you are going through, I promise that He cares and wants to help you if you only ask. When we trust Him, it is His responsibility to take care of us and he's very good at it. He is exactly who He says He is. We are not very good at trying to be God.
If we live in the past, we will die in the past. We have to keep moving until we've completed our assignments in this world. Then it will be our turn to experience a life with no end with those we love, in a place more magnificent than we could imagine. I know it will be worth any hardship and heartache we could have suffered.
BM: Your faith and love of family are so beautifully revealed in your home. Tell us about these special touches.
LH: There are many ways that I have expressed the love of my family throughout my home. For example, on the ceiling of my bedroom, I have the names of all my family members painted throughout the artwork. People would never know it was there because of the design, but I do.
In the foyer, I have a painting called "The Story of Life" on my ceiling. Scenes of eternal and maternal love are painted on the walls to bring it all together.
Upstairs I have a hallway of Biblical paintings which also tell a story. People tell me there is such a sense of peace they feel when I tell the story of each.
BM: You have such peace after going through such terrible, gut-wrenching pain, can you see good that has come from this?
LH: Because of this tragedy, I have had many opportunities to help others who are hurting or confused. I had never lost a child before and the pain is the greatest I will ever experience. Because of my loss and darkness, I have needed a light to shine brighter and longer to get me out of the darkness. Now I am experiencing life at a whole new level. I have a closer walk with the Lord and I wouldn't take anything for my relationship with Him. I'll never know all the answers in life, but I'd rather know Jesus than to know all the answers. When I join Ricky in Heaven, I am probably going to wonder why I ever shed a tear when I see how powerful and loving God is.
BM: If after reading this, someone wants the faith that you have, what would you suggest they do?
LH: Read the Bible. It tells us that by faith we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Then ask forgiveness. It's a gift from God, so ask for it, take it and use it. We don't have to understand it, just believe it. Then pray and trust Him, regardless of your situation. He will be faithful and you will never regret your decision.

Movie Review:
Imagine a wood overrun with birds. A red-tailed hawk gazes down from a pine, and a nuthatch is nosing along a nearby trunk. So many colorful warblers sing from the branches that it is as if "the trees were hung with ornaments," as birder and author Jonathan Franzen describes. Surprisingly, this woodland is Central Park, the subject of an hour-long documentary about the amazing circumstances that transform the park into birder's paradise. Premiering tonight on HBO at 9pm EDT "The Central Park Effect" examines both the birding phenomenon at the heart New York City, and the birders that eagerly await the bi-annual migration.
The film unfolds with the seasons, beginning with the arrival of warblers and other migrants in spring. More than 200 species of birds migrate through Central Park each year, about 25 percent of all species found in the United States and Canada. After long nights aloft, flying hundreds of miles, birds seek out woodlands where they land to rest and refuel. In the vast sprawl that is New York, Central Park stands out like a giant landing strip. From mid-April through May the park acts like a giant funnel, concentrating an amazing array of species into a relatively small area. Absent for the summer, the birds return again from late August through October as they reverse their migratory route.
But "The Central Park Effect" features both birds and the bipedal primates who goggle at them through binoculars. Birds come to Central Park for shelter and sustenance, but the birders who watch them come for a variety of reasons. Birding is "one of those rare times in an adult's life where the world suddenly seems more magical rather than less," says Franzen. For others it is a healing activity. "Looking at birds takes away a sadness in a lot of us," says legendary park birding guide Starr Saphir, who has terminal breast cancer. "Looking at birds takes you out of yourself, into the real world."
The Central Park's influence is an unparalleled phenomenon, but nation-wide declines in bird species may threaten its ability to maintain its birding allure. Results from the Christmas Bird Count, conducted every year for more than 100 years, reveal that nearly one-quarter of the bird species in the park have declined by nearly half percent in the last four decades. Despite the park's uncertain future as a birding hotspot, the documentary shows how the extraordinary urban oasis fuels a passionate birding commnity in the heart of New York City.
Produced and directed by Jeffrey Kimball, "The Central Park Effect" first premiered at the South by Southwest film festival in March. It will be broadcast on Monday, July 16th at 9:00pm EDT on HBO. Avian enthusiasts eager for more can tune in early to watch The Big Year on HBO Signature.

4 Has it's Pros and Cons, Mostly proserror2k2 | 13/01/2011 | See all error2k2's reviews (1)Top 100 Mobile Reviewer This card has a bit of a mixed review. So I decided to do a benchmark test. And here are the results:Largest test file 500MBSequential Read : 9.569 MB/sSequential Write : 4.102 MB/sRandom Read 512KB : 9.563 MB/sRandom Write 512KB : 0.647 MB/sRandom Read 4KB (QD=1) : 1.180 MB/s [ 288.1 IOPS]Random Write 4KB (QD=1) : 0.006 MB/s [ 1.4 IOPS]Random Read 4KB (QD=32) : 1.184 MB/s [ 289.1 IOPS]Random Write 4KB (QD=32) : 0.007 MB/s [ 1.8 IOPS]Yes, this card is in fact technically class 4. If you are transfering files from 0.5MB+ then you should get best performances. The downside is when you start transfering smaller files, read and write speeds go down(this is to be expected with all media storage) but this card under performes in this area, my class 2 cards perform slightly faster here.In conclusion, if you're gonna use it for music and small videos then yes, this is a very good card.If you plan on transfering 1000's of tiny files e.g. cache files, small text documents etc then be prepared for slight performance issues.
5 Amazing value!matttye | 01/06/2009 | See all matttye's reviews (2)The cheapest Sandisk 16gb microsd card I could find was £60, but most were more expensive. I had also read that the Sandisk 16gb memory card has some problems with data corruption on the Nokia 5800xm. The play.com 16gb card has no such problem.This memory card is a must buy for any media fanatic like me!
5 Perfect!xarxiusxiii | 11/09/2010 | See all xarxiusxiii's reviews (1)This is a serious bargain! If you were having doubts about buying this, don't. I bought this for use with my Galaxy S, and it works flawlessly. Note that the Class 2 rating has nothing to do with read speeds, and watching HD movies and listening to music off this SD card works fine - this is the main reason I bought this. Even copying data to the SD card (I had a USB Micro SD card reader available) was pretty quick and painless, but you're obviously not guaranteed copying speeds as fast as a class 8 SD card for example. Still, I wasn't waiting around for hours waiting for my data to copy.If you're thinking of buying this, definitely do.
5 great micro card66nursery | 12/10/2010 | See all 66nursery's reviews (9)bought this for me sony ericsson x10 and it works fine have filled it up with 10gb and it works fine best of off it has japan writed on it which must be a good thing
4 Great value!LukeHunter | 25/06/2009 | See all LukeHunter's reviews (1)Not the fastest card on the planet, so it takes a while to fill up. But as its designed for mobile devices speed isn't such an issue when away from the computer. Works well in my PSP with an adapter too.I've also had two of the 8GB versions for longer, which have been absolutely fine.By far the cheapest around so I would not hesistate to recommend.

Rajinikanth's latest flick is a 3D film that will release in four languages
Everyone's looking forward to Kochadaiyaan. It has been a while since Rajinikanth made his outing to the big screen. The latest we hear is that the film is nearly 70 per cent completed and will release, not just in 3D, but in four languages.
A highly-placed source from the sets tells us, "The film will release only in 3D. The film, in fact, is being shot in the format already. The film has been in the making since late last year and it is nearly 70 per cent complete."
The next schedule will be shot in London. "Soundharya is shooting the film briskly and she is ensuring that she can release her film at the earliest," says the source. The film, which is being jointly produced by a Mumbai-based production house that's also part of Rana, will release in four languages.
When quizzed, Dr Murali Manohar, co-producer of the film, said, "Yes, the film, apart from being released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, is likely to be released in another language, which is a surprise." But, when asked if that would mean a release in English, he evaded it by saying, "We're working out the logistics. It will be a big surprise for everyone." Surely, the Superstar's newest release is going to be a massive one!

I've been eyeing these cherry tree at a local nursery for a few weeks but today I noticed them not looking so good. I already have one cherry tree so I don't want to pass on something to my healthy one, what does everyone think? |

If this photo is from the northeast, what you are likely seeing is cherry leaf spot which is normal for cherry trees not sprayed with fungicide. |
- Posted by gardeninns none (My Page) on Sat, Jul 13, 13 at 20:47
That is good to know, so there is still hope for them lol. I did see some sticky sappy substance coming out of a few which worried me as well. You got my location bang on....nova scotia. |
Yes, it looks like cherry leaf spot to me, which can be serious unless you spray for it. I almost lost my two trees to it until I discovered which fungicides work for me. Captan did nothing for it. Then last year I alternated Ortho garden spray, T-Methyl, and Rally . Then just Rally this year. My cherry trees are now the healthiest looking trees in my orchard. Marc |

When does one spray cherry trees? Fall? I really need a second cherry tree.....do dwarf cherries pollinate tree? I ask this because I saw a small dwarf cherry but was unsure if it would pollinate my tree.by dwarf I mean a small plant about as big as a raspberry bush they sell at nurseries.....it was not a tree. But it was prunus.....I have never sprayed my cherry tree at home, and it looks great, should I be spraying? |

Any suggestions for a good repeat thornless or nearly thornless rose? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by karenforroses z5 NorthernMI (My Page) on Wed, Jan 9, 08 at 10:08
It depends on the size and color you want, Jess. Heritage, a beautiful double David Austin English rose, has hardly any thorns and is a wonderful rebloomer for me. However, it can get quite tall. It is my husband's favorite rose. It has a lovely lemony scent. It does get a bit of blackspot, but seems to grow right through it. Some folks have said it is a stingy bloomer for them, but I have two and they are both excellent rebloomers in my zone 5 garden. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Heritage
Yes, it would help if you gave us more info. on desired size, type, color, etc. In the meantime, David Austin's Mortimer Sackler is another lovely, taller, nearly thornless rose. Also very disease-resistant. Kate |

I got a really cheapie 'body bag' at Home Depot of the 'Smooth Prince' for my parent's cabin. (We get some cheapies for there because we can't care for them too well.) I didn't make it there and planted it. That was before I knew not to buy body bags because they pretty much all have RMV. Anyway, it was really pretty and healthy! Repeats well. It even has a strong fragrance. For 99 cents if it does become virused in a few years it was an OK buy! |
Wow pacnwgrdngirl, gorgeous rose! |
- Posted by katefisher Z7_NorthernCA (My Page) on Wed, Jan 9, 08 at 13:56
Darn Adrienne, that is gorgeous! You seem to be a very savvy shopper when it comes to your roses. Thanks for sharing that. Kate: I was looking at Mortimer Sackler this weekend. The DA catalog describes it as being tolerant of shady conditions. Now I realize that no rose is going to be a happy camper when sun deprived do you feel that MS could make it conditions of all day diffused sun? I want to move some of my roses that I know need more this spring but I still want some color in that space. I'm also considering 'Henry Hudson' as it is allegedly produce all season blooms in limited sun. Sorry for the thread hijack Jess. Kate |

The white floribunda 'Fabulous' is fabulous. Nearly thornless, pumps out the blooms non-stop. It blooms rather tall but narrow for me. Nancy |

Jess, I have some recommendations for you on thornless roses. You must have 'Nur Mahal' You must have 'Pink Gruss an Aachen' You must have 'Heritage' (David Austin's English Rose) Additional favorite thornless roses for me are: 'Basye's Blueberry' - 100% thornless (available from The Antique Rose Emporium) 'Valentine' - Almost thornless and an excellent landscape plant 'Reine des Violettes' - 100% thornless, IF you buy it from the right supplier. Mine came from The Antique Rose Emporium and it's smooth & beautiful. I highly recommend getting this rose from that source, from Vintage Gardens, or Countryside Roses. Some sources carry virused specimens of this plant, but those three are reported to have clean ones. Some other sources sell a thorny rose under this same name. I would have listed this one up top with the "must haves", but you stressed that you wanted "repeat blooming" and while this one DOES repeat bloom, it does not do so as much as the three "must haves" that I listed. This rose is very close to being my very favorite rose of all, and each year it blooms more and better blooms. This rose was introduced in 1860 and it is a living piece of history. It's fragrance is the best of all my roses. Unfortunately, I can not recommend 'Mrs Dudley Cross' to you, because your zone is too cold for her to thrive there. But down here, she's a must have. Mine is completely thornless and extremely resistant to any fungus. Randy |
Kate, don't know about Mortimer Sackler in partial shade. Mine in is nearly all day direct sun. With all that sun, the blooms do singe a bit--so maybe a bit of shade wouldn't hurt--but I'm just guessing on that. It's a lovely rose. Mine would like to be a climber--have to keep trimming it back to be a taller shrub. Good disease-resistance, by the way. Kate |

David Austin's website and catalog list roses for a specific place, it includes a list of thornless roses and ones for shade. Nancy |

It is not completely thornless, but what thorns it may have are small and few and far between, so if I had to pick just one "thornless" rose, Paul Neyron gets my vote. Hard to resist the beautiful 7" blooms that last forever, the arching growth, the wonderful fragrance and the almost continuous flowering...but hey, that's just me. :) |
- Posted by gnabonnand 8a Metro Dallas, TX (My Page) on Fri, Jan 11, 08 at 14:18
A word of caution on that list of "thornless" roses on the David Austin website: some of those roses have way to many thorns for me to consider "nearly thornless". Randy |

I recently read an article (its a bit dated, but none the less, the facts remain true. Essentially, the XBox 360 can render graphics the PlayStation 3, despite being out-powered. Below I ave copied the article. Thank me later.
I'm a computer science major at a research University, and last week one of my professors gave a lecture about graphics. He works and does research with Microsoft from time to time and he actually helped them come up with the feature set for DirectX 11. One of those features is tesselation which is essentially a method to render subdivision surfaces (what Pixar & Co. have used since after Toy Story) in real time. Of course they aren't actual subdivision surfaces, but they are nearly indistinguishable.
I was surprised to learn that the Xbox 360 has had a tesselator since its launch, but they haven't been able to use it until now. He showed us some of these examples and it was indeed impressive stuff, and I was extremely surprised to see an awesome rendering of a Vortigaunt and the Heavy from TF2. Apparently Microsoft has been working closely with Valve on this, and they've actually implemented it in some of their older games.
Imagine this without all of the sharp corners on the bullets, his head, ears, and collar and you'd have an idea of what tesselation does at the base level.
From what I've read, tesselation is possible on the PS3, but the RSX chipset isn't well-suited to dealing with the massive poly counts that tesselation creates. This has me wondering if the 360 might be able to compete with or even better the PS3 as developers start to take advantage of this feature. Tesselation allows for much much higher poly counts without any hit in performance as it travels along the pipeline in low-poly form to bypass bandwidth limitations (basically the data is compressed to allow the higher poly models to get through bottlenecks at a faster pace). Either way it seems to me the 360 won't have any problem staying relevant graphics-wise for the next couple of years if developers can take advantage of this.

JUDY of ORLANDO, writes:
I was diagnosed with Degenerative Disk Disease. I'm on a prescription pain medication but still have alot of pain & developing more pain in different places. I've been sleeping on a Natural Latex Mattress & Foundation for many yrs; so many in fact, I can't remember how old it is. My concern is I don't know if I need a new mattress or something else. I already tried a memory foam topper which didn't do a thing. I don't get tired (like normal people do) when it's time for bed, I sometimes stay up all night. But if I do go to sleep, when I wake up I'm tired; In fact, if I don't get at least 10 hrs. of sleep, I really feel just awful when I get up. I've told my Drs. (Pain & Primary) & they have nothing to say. I have to roll out of bed because of my back pain. I injured it yrs. ago. So how can I tell if I need a new mattress? And if so,what kind? Please help me since I feel at a loss of what to do to feel refreshed & painfree when I get up. I read that Latex Mattress' should last 30 yrs. & I know for a fact I haven't had it for that long since there were at least 2 other mattresses before this one. I sleep on my side if that helps any. I'd really appreciate it if you can help me. P.S: You can email me if you wish. Thank you in advance.
Hi Judy. When your question is submitted, they...the Penn Live people, forward your question to me, but do not forward any of your personal information....including your email address.
You may not need a new mattress. For side sleepers latex is an excellent choice, even with disc problems. However, if you've just been diagnosed, it's reasonable to assume that something recently happened to send you to the doctor...some irritation of the problem that has existed since your injury years ago.
About 3 years ago, I hurt my back in an attempt to close the window over the kitchen sink. I felt a shape twinge...and within 3 days, could barely move. It was then that I was diagnosed with DDD, herniated and bulging discs....it was like hitting the trifecta. The orthopedic surgeon, a funny and somewhat indelicate fellow, told me that my back got that way from sitting on my ass all these years. (His words). At the time, I was sleeping on a somewhat soft latex mattress,
which I could no longer sleep on. Like you, the pain worsened at first and I found myself sleeping on the floor...at the recommendation of my chiropractor. I used a 1" latex topper on the floor and was able to sleep in relative comfort...minimizing the pain. As my condition improved, I was able to return to my bed, but had to flip it over and sleep on the firmer underside for a time. A little later, I was able to flip it back over and sleep on the softer side again...which is where I am now.
Point being, you could very likely spend a lot of money on mattresses and have none of them be of any help until your inflamation subsides.
I did find that excedrin worked on the pain without the side effects of the prescribed pain meds.
And, Celebrex worked well on the inflamation.
I'd suggest putting the mattress directly on the floor and trying it that way.

Within the year, he will hand-print limited runs of historic images from his collection and create a series of books, the first exploring and documenting ways in which women are represented in Eliza Jane Nicholson's choice of iconography. To that end, Makkos is currently at work recreating print blocks that feature illustrations from the Victorian-era newspaper. "You couldn't reproduce it like this off of microfilm," he says. "Having these originals is the only thing that makes this possible." On his 1870s proofing press, Makkos will combine his new photoblocks with the old lead typefaces he shoveled out of Laborde's, to recreate important parts of the Eliza Jane Nicholson Collection, using the same methods that created the original newspapers in the mountain of tubes and boxes that today fill his studio, and his life.

My kitchen has the honey oak cabinets and I would love to paint them. I do not know what color I should go with. I have hardwood floors, the counter top is a dark granite and I have black appliances. Right now there is not back splash, but I plan on installing this later. Do you have any ideas/suggestions? Thanks! |

If you can post pictures it would really help...but just from your description I think a creamy off white might look nice. |
Picture is posted. Thanks. |
What colors are in the granite? Is it grays or browns? Is there a certain kitchen style you're drawn to? Do you like dark and sexy (black cabinets), more light and airy (white cabinets), maybe something different (gray cabinets)? |
Instead of white, I might try to pull a color in the right tone from the granite and do something like this: or this: |
- Posted by prairiemom (My Page) on Sat, Jan 18, 14 at 13:55
You are lucky that your cabinets are not honey oak, that orange builder-grade color. Yours actually look like they have a nice dark stain. Painting, prep, etc is a lot of work. Your other finishes are nice too, dark pulls, pretty granite. Would you consider just doing a very pretty light backsplash? If you do go with paint, be sure to use BM cabinet coat. It will help cover the grain, though probably not all. There are many posts here on GW to help you with the process. |

I would reconsider painting the oak and just restore the stain o rmaybe go a little bit darker. Also, if there's no crown molding on the cabinets, I'd add one. Also, maybe add some glass uppers. Check out the new darker IKEA oak cabinets. |
Thanks for the help, I believe I will reconsider painting and add a nice backsplash. You have all been so helpful! |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Sun, Jan 19, 14 at 12:04
Maybe some updated light fixtures and under-cabinet lighting would make a big change. Below some more darker oak kitchens. |
If you'd like a darker color to the cabinets.. you could go to a more 'Cherry' or 'Walnut ' color with N-Hance (a Home Depot service). Looks impressive in the link below... plus lots of good reviews! |

text: OK, my problem with eating boils down to eating when I want rather than when I'm hungry. I recognize it...I'm dealing with it. Here's my question. To that end, those of you who snack between your meals...getting you to 5 small a day...do you make yourself snack even if you aren't hungry? I'm struggling with that. So many people recommend snacking to keep yourself from ever being hungry...but if I do that, then I'm not fixing my problem of eating when I'm not hungry!? I don't want to eat by the clock...I want to eat by my body's signals...so I feel like I need to wait for those signals. Right? This is all so confusing and so SCARY because I feel like everything is at stake.


text: When a publication solicits you to advertise with them and throws in "free design" as an added bonus, keep one thing in mind, their goal is to sell you the ad space. The designer's primary goal is to create an ad you'll approve. They aren't going to consider how the ad will generate a response and how to track it. You'll pay far more for the weekly ad space than you will for the initial design. This is not to say that you can't get a good design from a publication that offers it for free, but you should know their motives for offering it. Very few publications care about your return on investment for the money you spend with them, they only care about selling the space.
