A warm welcome at the new #bytemine-office for a #Zarafa meeting: http://t.co/8WJA3Cx4MO
Zarafa, the new groupware standard in the still growing European Linux server market, today announced that its open source email and calendar software has reached the next level in secure mobile communications. The Zarafa Collaboration Platform (ZCP) is the only open source groupware solution which now is fully compatible with the German SiMKo 2 standard from the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). ZCP 6.30 and higher is tested and certified with the SimKo2 phones of the German Telekom. In addition, Zarafa now also offers a WebAccesss S/MIME plugin.
Brian Joseph, CEO of Zarafa: "Our focus will remain strongly on software developments and innovations in open source technology and mobile compatibility. This enables Zarafa partners to deliver enterprise class groupware systems to organizations that require the SiMKo 2 standard amongst others. Our new S/MIME WebAccess plugin will meet the requirements of organizations for more secure data communications. We are confident that this will stimulate the adoption of the Zarafa Collaboration Platform by European public organizations".
SiMKo 2 support
The solution SiMKo 2 is an abbreviation of the German term "sichere Mobile Kommunikation" (secure mobile communications). This solution includes a special smartphone from HTC and makes mobile data communications more secure.According to the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), this solution is particularly suitable for use within the framework of the VS-NfD security level (classified material – for official use only). This complies with the special requirements of security-critical agencies of the Federal Government and industrial companies. In principle, SiMKo operates in encrypted format and with a "digital identity", i.e. certificates issued by a trust center. Each connection is secured through a VPN tunnel. SiMKo 2 is a service of T-Systems which is a part of Deutsche Telekom.
Zarafa WebAccess S/MIME plugin
The new Zarafa WebAccess S/MIME plugin allows FireFox users to send encrypted and signed emails, and read incoming encrypted emails. It also allows checking senders' signatures in incoming signed messages. The S/MIME plugin requires use of FireFox as a browser on Windows and Linux desktops, and ZCP 6.40.X. After installing, users can simply click on the 'encrypt' and 'sign' icons in the new mail dialogs. The plugin and a screenshot can be found online at:

Aware of the competition, Wynkoop Brewing Company owner and LoDo developer John Hickenlooper wanted to use a material that would stand out for his latest residential project. He sought an element that would catch the eye of even the most jaded urbanites, something that was futuristic but timeless.
He decided there was only one choice: titanium.
"We wanted it to be a building for the 21st century," Hickenlooper says. "Titanium has this incredibly beautiful luster. It lasts forever and doesn't oxidize."
Hickenlooper says he considered using brushed aluminum but thinks titanium is unique. "It costs twice as much, but it's worth it. Aluminum only lasts one-tenth as long. Titanium has incredible strength."
In a clear demonstration of his confidence in the metal, Hickenlooper has dubbed the new building at 1720 Wazee "The Titanium." That gesture should delight executives at the country's largest producer of titanium, Titanium Metals Corporation (Timet), which is based in Denver, not far from Hickenlooper's six-story structure.
For years, titanium has been the metal of choice in manufacturing jet engines and other aerospace parts. The metal -- named for the Titans, powerful Greek gods -- also has a high-tech sex appeal that's made it fashionable; Apple PowerBooks have a titanium casing, for example. The substance, as strong as steel but weighing half as much and impervious to rust, is being forged into wedding rings, knives, cars, camping equipment -- even chopsticks.
Yet the most spectacular new application for titanium has come in an unexpected place: architecture.
The 1997 debut of the Guggenheim Museum branch in Bilbao, Spain, made titanium an international superstar. The museum, designed by Los Angeles-based architect Frank Gehry, was immediately hailed as a masterwork. Architect Philip Johnson called it "the greatest building of our time."
A swirl of organic forms that seem to spin and vault over the River Nervion, the museum's titanium exterior drew rave reviews for the way the metal reflects light, changing color as the sun and clouds shift during the day. Based upon the weather, titanium's natural gray color can take on blue or purplish tints and even be transformed into a shimmering gold as the sun sets. What's more, the thin titanium panels give the exterior a weightless, mysterious quality that leaves observers searching for words.
"Titanium has an ethereal quality that's difficult to describe," says Denver architect David Owen Tryba.
The Guggenheim turned the once-obscure city of Bilbao into a popular tourist destination. It has also found its way into pop culture, as a background setting for James Bond (albeit a Pierce Brosnan Bond) in The World Is Not Enough, and in a Mariah Carey music video.
Now Denver hopes to pull off something similar.
After the city's voters approved a $62.5 million bond issue in 1999 to build a 146,000-square-foot addition to the Denver Art Museum, the DAM board of directors held an international design competition that brought in entries from some of the biggest names in architecture. The winner was Daniel Libes-kind, a Berlin-based architect whose stunning design for the Jewish Museum in that city catapulted him into the architectural stratosphere almost overnight.
For Denver, Libeskind has designed a radical building that will be like no other in the city. To be erected on the parking lot at 13th Avenue and Acoma Street, the addition is centered on a glass atrium with diagonal sections that shoot off in different directions. It's been described as resembling a crystal: light-infused, but with hard surfaces that belie their own strength.
Libeskind and the museum's board of directors are considering three materials for the metal skin: aluminum, stainless steel and titanium. In the past, Libeskind has said he would prefer titanium, but the metal's higher cost may scare the museum away from choosing it.
Timet has a lot at stake in the final decision. The art museum is only a few blocks from the company's downtown headquarters, and having a major civic building encased in titanium would be a public-relations coup. Finding new uses for titanium has also become a necessity for the company, which was hit hard by the aftershocks of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
When the World Trade Center towers collapsed, the airline industry went down with them. As huge carriers like United and American faced financial disaster, orders for new commercial airliners disappeared. More than 80 percent of Timet's revenues come from the aerospace industry, and the company's stock price dropped 75 percent in the days after the attacks.
"Until the airlines get back to financial health, they won't be ordering new planes," says J. Landis Martin, CEO of Timet. "We think the industry won't come back until the end of 2003."
While titanium has its fans, it's still not clear if the metal can break out of the aerospace ghetto, where 60 percent of it is used. Titanium is now an established niche metal for specialized uses, but its boosters hope that one day it will be as commonplace as aluminum. They dream of a world in which titanium -- often described as the most noble of metals because of its strength and durability -- will be found on everything from toasters to Toyotas.

From Mac to Linux: A Musician Convert
The Mac is fairly widespread among musicians because tons of professional programs run on it. Apparently Ubuntu can completely replace the Mac, however, as in the following story.
Kim Cascone earned his bread from digital soundtracks, up to quite recently with Apple hardware and Mac OS X. For cost and performance reasons he made the switch to Ubuntu and is surprised at how good the audio processing is on reasonable priced hardware.
Now Peter Kirn has captured Cascone's conversion story on createdigitalmusic.com. Interesting about the article is not only the facts of Cascone's conversion, but the comments accompanying it that contain numerous tips and information on sound processing under Linux. For example, Cascone recommends dropping all the alternative sound systems and using ALSA and JACK together with a real-time kernel.
We'll be following up
Well, this has - naturally - generated lots more feedback and commentary. We're going to round up some of the folks who have been doing great coverage of music on Linux, etc. and see if we can't do some follow up to help other folks getting rolling ...as well as do some mythbusting.

This event is supported by the British Council in collaboration with the Chinese organising committee as part of the China Market Focus 2012 cultural programme at The London Book Fair.
Fresh from the London Book Fair, two of China's most talked about and widely read contemporary authors will spend an evening in conversation with Alan Bissett, Glenfiddich Spirit of Scotland Writer of the Year 2011.
In a first for Scotland, Xu Zechen, leading editor and novelist, and Annie Baobei, online literary sensation, will engage in discussions with Alan who has recently returned from the Bookworm Festival in Beijing. Both nations, vast and small, have experienced their own forms of profound social and economic change – how do writers from each culture reflect this?
This event is taking place on Thursday 19th April from 6pm - 8pm at the Confucius Institute for Scotland, Edinburgh. Book online now.
The venue for the evening will be the beautiful baronial style mansion, Abden House, home of the Confucius Institute for Scotland in the University of Edinburgh.

Fixed drug eruption on the cheek
Medications can cause many skin reactions. This particular rash, seen here on the cheek, is called a "fixed drug eruption". This type of reaction typically occurs in the same location when the person uses the same medication again.

Are you looking for ways to make your kid's school lunches healthier?
If you need help in the lunch packing department, you are in the right place! Helping others pack fresh lunches is all I do!
If you need a few ideas to help you get started, sign up for our newsletter and you'll get a free week of ideas.
Today, you are here to see 10 ways you can make your lunches healthier, so here we go!
1. Fruit flavored water vs. juices
You might think you're providing "all the vitamin C" your child needs in that drink; but the reality is that some fruit juices can have just as much sugar as a soda! Even worse, they aren't made with real juice but from concentrate and sweetened with high fructose corn syrup.
Try packing fruit flavored water as a healthier option. A few slices of lemon, lime, and orange will make a glass of cold water even more refreshing! If you really want the water to taste like the fruit, squeeze it first to release some of the juices.
2. Real fruit vs. fruit cups
While there are some options on the market better than others for prepackaged fruit cups, nothing beats packing it fresh! By packing fresh fruit, you will avoid added sugars, acids, and in most cases HFCS. Take a few moments to slice your own fresh fruit or pack frozen fruit in the lunch box. By lunch, it will be the perfectly chilled but not frozen.
3. A single cookie vs. those 100 calorie packs
What's wrong with a homemade cookie made with real ingredients? My chocolate chip cookie recipe has real ingredients; stays fresh in the lunchbox and my kids love it. Those 100-calorie packs, while low in calories are high in unidentifiable ingredients.
4. Homemade lunches vs. packaged boxed lunches
Over at the MOMables blog, I've done an entire series that breaks down packaged lunches and remakes them with real ingredients. Boxed lunches can hardly be called food. Have you seen the ingredient list? It might just be me but I am a bit weary of things with long expiration dates.
Making your own is simple and much cheaper. Purchase whole-wheat crackers, real cheese and fresh deli ham or turkey and package in your favorite lunch container.
5. Make your own snacks
I remember when I was a kid and fruit roll-ups were the new, tasty treat to have for snack and lunches. They were fun and delicious – certainly NOT nutritious. Whipping up homemade ones takes hardly any time, and the oven does the rest! Using fruit gives you natural sweetness. Another inexpensive and kid favorite snack you can make at home? Granola bars.
6. Leftovers vs. unhealthy cafeteria food
My philosophy is cook once, eat twice! If you're having pasta for dinner, knowingly make a little extra for lunches the next day. You can do the same with items on the grill, soups, etc. A $10-$14 thermos container will be your favorite accessory for "thermos Thursdays." Just because your child's school has "hot lunch" on the menu it doesn't mean it's nutritious.
7. Homemade pizzas vs. greasy cafeteria pizza
Pizza is one of the iconic go-to meals. I love it, my husband loves it, and of course my kids do too! You can use a whole-wheat English muffin, Naan bread or bagel for lunch! Add sauce, cheese, and toppings of your choice. I love pizza because it's easy to sneak veggies under the cheese and it's delicious at room temperature.
8. Whole wheat vs. white bread sandwiches
What is the difference between whole wheat and white bread? 30 good-for-you nutrients! If you have a picky eater use white bread on one side of the sandwich and wheat on the other. Tell them one is "sunny-side-up." Make sure you check the labels and look for breads that contain the words "whole wheat" and other whole grains, like oats.
9. Almond butter vs. caramel dipping sauce
My kids love to dip their apple slices in caramel. Who am I kidding, I love it too! Ditch the sugar and opt for a healthier dip, like almond butter. By eating almonds or almond butter, you get vitamin E, potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium and phosphorus. Almonds are a good fiber source and also contain protein. Delicious with fruit and even by the spoonful! Can't get your kids to eat "nut" butter? Try my homemade Nutella (psst! It's "nut" free!)
10. Greek yogurt vs. fake pudding
Greek yogurt has a rich, satisfying texture. You can even flavor it with real cocoa powder, honey or fresh fruit! Greek yogurt typically packs half the sodium and sugar of other regular non-fat yogurts. It's not only high in protein, also low in carbohydrates making it an excellent choice for the entire family. Better option: 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Pudding.
Making healthy changes can be overwhelming. I often tell MOMables subscribers to do one thing at a time until it's part of the routine. Trust me, I know it's difficult to manage kids, a full time job, extracurricular activities and making healthy meals for your family. Remember that Rome was not built in one day, so be easy on yourself.

Littleton woman arrested, accused of embezzling $170,000 from Metro Construction company
Kathleen McGrath posts $15,000 bond
DENVER - A Littleton woman, who investigators say embezzled $170,000 from a local construction company, is now facing charges of theft, computer crime and unauthorized use of a financial transaction device.
Kathleen McGrath, 55, of 7801 N. Roxborough Park Rd., turned herself in to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office on Feb. 27.
Investigators say McGrath worked as a bookkeeper at Metro Construction, Inc. at 2641 Walnut Street in Denver.
On May 22, 2012, company president Jerod Raisch returned from a trip to St. Louis and noticed that two checks had been written to Sam's Club.
According to the court documents obtained by 7NEWS, Raisch confronted McGrath and asked why she had company checks and she replied with a "blank stare."
McGrath was placed on paid leave pending the company's internal investigation and was terminated from her job two weeks later.
During their investigation, company officials determined that McGrath had made approximately 180 unauthorized purchases totally $160,000 using the company's checking account.
They say McGrath entered the transactions into the company's accounting software as legitimate business expenses in order to hide the theft.
Investigators said the software entries did not match the checks.
For example, check #17883 was entered into QuickBooks as office supplies from Office Max, but instead the check was actually used to purchase $661.16 from Sam's Club.
They later discovered that she had allegedly been using one of the company's gas credit cards and rang up charges in excess of $10,000.
Fellow employees told investigators that while employed at the firm, McGrath would frequently leave in the middle of the day.
They say she told them she was working at one of the firm's other locations.
During their investigation, authorities found a photo of McGrath on another website associated with McBassi & Company. The website indicated she was their accountant.
A source at McBassi told 7NEWS that they had no problems with McGrath.
While checking McGrath's criminal history, investigators learned that she had been arrested in 2009 by the Cherry Hills Police Department for forgery and theft.
According to the complaint, she pled guilty to one count of theft and the forgery charge was dismissed. She was given a two-year deferred sentence and was ordered to pay $7,770.40 restitution in that case.
7NEWS attempted to contact McGrath. The message on her phone states that her mailbox is full.
McGrath posted $15,000 bond in connection with the alleged theft from Metro Construction.
She is scheduled to appear in court for the case on March 8.

Does anyone grow this clematis?
I bought it because it is reported to bloom late in the growing season, but mine is producing buds already, which make me wonder if it's Madame-Baron-Veillard or something else. Maybe Comtesse de Bouchaud? While I'll be able to ID it in a couple of weeks, I was wondering if anyone else grows Madame-Baron-Veillard and has seen it bloom earlier than normal? |

I have grown it and it's beautiful. I've also had 3 die over the winter, unfortunately, and it looks like I'm a zone ahead of you. I would think it unlikely that you see buds on this one just yet unless it was greenhouse raised and you planted it this year? Otherwise the buds form later. |
- Posted by janetpetiole 4b (My Page) on Sun, Jun 15, 08 at 8:53
Planted late fall 2 years ago. Much of it wilted last year, so I only saw a few flowers, which were promptly destroyed by earwigs. It didn't occur to me at the time that it had bloomed too early. Considering you lost so many MB-V's I guess I'm glad I don't have it. How is your garden doing - have you had any flooding? |
- Posted by flowergirl70ks 5/6KS (My Page) on Sun, Jun 15, 08 at 22:00
I have it and it's blooming now. It does seem early this year. This is my oldest clematis, it was here when we moved here 41 years ago. It's very vigorous, it is at least 8' this year. |
mine is in third year and I have had very little bloom last year - too much shade and blooms late- like September for me. I moved it to sunnier area and it going strong but no blooms yet or even buds. |
- Posted by janetpetiole 4b (My Page) on Mon, Jun 16, 08 at 20:29
Thanks for the input, Linda. I read somewhere that Madame Baron Veillard needs to be in full sun so the stems can ripen. I confess to not really knowing what that means. Regardless, I hope your MBV blooms well this year. |

Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino Rating: 4,0 Pearls
Kids are sure to love the Shark Reef Aquarium, which in addition to sharks features endangered green sea turtles, piranha, rare golden crocodiles, moon jellies, sawfish, and giant rays. The huge pool complex includes a large wave pool and a lazy river. Abundant kid-friendly food options at the hotel's 20 restaurants and great all-ages performances (which in the past have included The Lion King and Cirque du Soleil shows) make Mandalay Bay a great option for families.
The Mirage Rating: 4,0 Pearls
The Mirage has endless ways to keep kids entertained, including the nightly eruptions of the hotel's signature man-made volcano and the lions and dolphins at Siefried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. The entertainment options, like Cirque du Soleil shows and performances by puppeteer Terry Fator, are relatively wholesome compared to some of Vegas' other offerings. And there's a kids' menu at California Pizza Kitchen and kid-friendly fare at Carnegie Delicatessen and Paradise Cafe.
MGM Grand Hotel & Casino Rating: 4,0 Pearls
MGM Grand's 6.6-acre, five-pool complex features a long, winding river pool with waterfalls and fun, cave-like grottos. At the Rainforest Cafe, kids will enjoy the rainforest decor, periodic mist showers (don't worry, not as wet as it sounds), and animatronic gorillas. Children can also enjoy the magic of David Copperfield or Cirque du Soleil performances, the latter of which allows kids five or older.
Excalibur Hotel And Casino Rating: 3,0 Pearls
The Tournament of Kings jousting dinner show, the Fun Dungeon arcade, and accomodations in a medieval-style castle make Excalibur one of the best family-friendly hotels in the city.
Trump International Hotel & Tower Las Vegas Rating: 4,5 Pearls
This non-gaming, non-smoking property is a mellow, family-friendly luxury option just off of the Strip. Parents of infants can request cribs, plush blankets, bibs, diapers, and baby toiletries from housekeeping, and the Trump Kids program provides terrycloth slippers, board games, books, toys, and a map of Las Vegas for children. All suites come with queen-size sleeper sofas and stocked kitchenettes.
New York New York Hotel & Casino Rating: 3,5 Pearls
The hotel's signature feature is it's 67-mph roller coaster that takes off from the lobby and wraps around the hotel. The hotel also houses one of the biggest arcades in Las Vegas, and walking through the faux New York City neighborhoods and eateries is a little like walking through a Disneyland village.
Paris Las Vegas Rating: 4,0 Pearls
The Paris doesn't have New York New York's roller coaster, Excalibur's jousting tournament, or MGM's lions, but families still fill the place, trooping up the 460-foot-high Eiffel Tower Experience for the exhilarating views (behind a safety grate) and munching on pastries from Le Notre. Kid-friendly restaurants abound: Singing waiters dressed like French peasants dish out pizza and pasta at French-Italian Le Provencal; Le Village Buffet hooks kids up with discounted meals. Luxury and Premium rooms come with two queens or one king-size bed. Cribs and roll away beds are available, and connecting rooms are available.
Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino Rating: 4,0 Pearls
Kids will love the Tank pool; it's pretty hard to beat a three-story water slide that runs through a shark tank. They'll also probably like the the arcade, the light show right outside the front door, and the pizza, hot dogs and hamburgers available at the Grille.
Hilton Grand Vacations Club On The Las Vegas Strip Rating: 3,0 Pearls
The Hilton Grand Vacations Club is targeted toward families, and lacks the smokey casino and adult entertainment found at other hotels on the Strip. The three-and-a-half-foot-deep pool with spray fountains is popular with children, and there's an activity lounge with table tennis, billiards, chess, foosball, and several board games. Sleeping arrangements are perfect for families of four or five -- the rooms are all large suites with fully equipped kitchens and queen-size sofa beds, with playpens and high chairs also available.

Dragon sight says " If if is Summer,when you declare a challenge type,your opponent must declare defenders before you declare attackers. The opportunity for your opponent to declare defenders after you declare attackers is lost."
When I declare a challenge type, my opponenet must declare defenders. My question is that if he has to kneel those characters at the same time, or just to declare and do not kneel before I kneel my characters as attackers?
The other question is what about a character with naval enhancement controlled by defender? Can he declare that character as defender via the naval enhancement after I declare attackers?

we are remodelling our kitchen and need new appliances. I really love the look of built in fridges, but the prices are high! I came across a dented Thermador 36" bottom freezer for a discounted price. When I looked around some more, I was told that Thermador fridges aren't really all that great - that I should look at the Kitchen aid built-is. I have been weary of KA since I had problems with food freezing in my previous KA fridge (standard depth sxs fridge). Can anyone give me some advice on the KA built-in? Also, I thought that all built-ins have two compressors. I was recently told that only the Sub-Zeros have two compressors while all the others only have one. Is this so? Thanks! I'm so overwhelmed! |
Follow-Up Postings:
None of the Whirlpool Fridges, (KA, Jenn-air, Maytag, etc) have 2 compressors. As far as I know, SZ, Liebherr and Miele all have 2 compressors. Samsung I believe has 2 evaporators which , "to me" is a more clever design, but I don't know if Sansung makes built in Fridges. I've never been a fan of 2 compressors and have never seen the need for it, as I'm 70 years old, never had a dual compressor or dual evaporator fridge and I've yet to taste icecubes that tastes like produce, or produce that tastes like ice cubes, but that's just me! If you read many of the posts on fridges here, You will see many posts about how much longer the food keeps in their newer fridges, and the comments are both from buyers of single compressor fridges, dual compressor fridges or dual evaporator. Most likely this is due to better sealing, better insulation, inproved circuitry that keeps the temps more constant. Don't have any experience with KA Fridges, but we bought a Jenn-air Fridge 5 years ago and have had no problems with it,cept an occasional burp from the icemaker. Temps are always spot on and I can not hear the thing run, it does use the veriable speed compressor that "To Me" is a far more important feature than 2 compressors or evaporators. Good luck with your pending decisions. Gary |

Hi Juliansmom. My new KBLC36FTS was installed in November. I can't compare it to other built-ins or CD fridges as I've never owned either before. I never had problems with my old KA, except for the fact it was a small older top-freezer model requiring me to get in my hands and knees to locate items in the bottom, so trusted the brand. I like the fridge very much. My produce holds well. Nothing freezes in the fridge. Freezer and fridge temps stay very steady. Holds a little more than I feared. Looks great. And, please please please don't let this be a jinx, it's quiet. That said, for my family, cooking, veggie gardening, food buying habits, and storage needs, I couldn't get by if this was my only fridge. I have a fridge in the garage for overflow of milk gallons and produce. For daily needs though, the KA is great! |
- Posted by juliansmom (My Page) on Wed, Mar 7, 12 at 21:35
Thanks for your posts!! I'm still debating with myself! |
Did you decide - we are researching the KA 48" side by side but it gets mixed reviews |

Sashiko is a Japanese embroidery technique that is simple to learn and beautiful to look at. Even though it's a craft that's been around for a very long time, the traditional designs are very clean and graphic, and I love how modern they seem. Sashiko combines the quick, hands-on creativity of embroidery with a calming, meditative quality as well. I learned about Sashiko and how to do it last year by reading Mari's helpful Sashiko Tutorial on The Purl Bee and I've been wanting to do more ever since!
This Sashiko Mini Tote Kit is a great place to practice your Sashiko skills or to learn them for the very first time. It comes with almost everything you'll need; the fabric (which has the Sashiko design printed right on it), navy Sashiko thread, and an ultra easy to follow pattern. I also used two additional colors of Sashiko Thread for the bag above, aqua and sky blue, so that the design would be more playful. I love how the different blues look so clean and cheerful on the natural canvas background!
This exact same kit can also be made into a cute, simple apron. I chose to make mine into the tote because I thought it would be perfect as a small project bag. After it was done I also realized it would be a great lunch bag or child's purse.
If you'd like to make your own mini tote (or apron) the kit is available here, and our collection of Sashiko Thread can be found here. (You can find all of our Sashiko samplers, thread and tools for Sashiko right here.)
Happy Stitching!- Molly

Do you feel intimidate for a woman?
Hi guys, I once heard that guys are afraid to start a relationship with a woman, who may intimidate them. It's that true? Which cases do you feel that a woman can intimidate you? My ex boyfriend used to say that at first I can intimidate a guy and that's why sometimes guys don't approach me, because of that. I would do like to hear some male opinions about this. There's such thing?

the ferns and thoughts of spring. We were running a bunch of errands and at on stop I realized that I did not have my purse. Oh, what a sinking feeling. DH made a U turn and drove back to the last store we had been. Luckily someone had turned it in to the Lost and Found and all my "stuff" was in there. What a relief. I went around and around in my mind how this could have happened. I thought of senior moments, weak hand grip, etc... Then I realized that I had been into the garden center, stopped by a couple of boxes with bare root ferns, 3 to a package and I was planning in my mind how and where I would plant these little baby plants. I put them down and joined DH at the exit. Lol, when I looked at the note placed on my purse by the store, it said it was found in the garden center at 12:15pm in the garden center. I guess I have spring fever. And a big thank you to the person who turned in my purse. In case they are reading this, it was the multi colored knitted, draw string purse. A big hug and good karma to you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am so glad for you; first that you found it, and second, that someone was honest/kind enough to turn it in. Isn't it wonderful and strange what thoughts of Spring can do to one? Within the last two weeks, we cancelled our credit card, b/c I've put it away so carefully--I haven't been able to find it! I'm sure that sooner or later, it will turn up, but we didn't want to take the chance that I may really have lost it! Again, it's great that you found your purse. |
I'm glad you found your purse. I'm guessing there are many things in there that would be hard to replace. |

We all have spring fever these days but very little spring. I am glad that an honest person found your purse. |
Oh yes - so glad a nice, honest person found your purse. It is really hard to replace some of the things we carry in our purses. Now if someone could just find the tractor key that I definitely remember heading to the house with but is not in its usual place and cannot be found anywhere! Thank goodness I keep a spare one. Spring does many strange things to our brains.....that's my story and I'm stickin' to it! |
Ohhhh, that feeling is the worst!! I'm glad you found it and it was all there! |
this has happened to me more than once, alas, but I am fortunate that I have always been able to recover it quickly. The only time I lost any money was when my handbag was picked in a department store. And the thief only got $12! |

29.Jan.2013 by Rob NewellEhrler erased
I can still remember the very words that threw a large monkey wrench into the wobbly wheels of my fishing brain:
"No, I erase all my waypoints after each tournament."
That sentence was the response to a question I asked Brent Ehrler following his FLW Tour win on Lake Hartwell in 2012. Just the year before, Ehrler had finished second at Hartwell, so I only assumed he fished some of the same water as the previous year.
"No, I fished totally different water this year," he clarified. "I don't even have any of the waypoints where I finished second last year in my unit. I erase my waypoints after each tournament and at the beginning of a new season. I do that on purpose. I want to start with a clean slate."
Erase waypoints? Clean slate? What?
Knowing the FLW Tour often repeats lakes, why in the world would Ehrler erase his waypoints? Especially after a successful tournament?
Hence, the monkey wrench. Personally, I was mystified. I thought the whole idea of this professional fishing gig was to accumulate a GPS unit full of waypoints of secret brush piles, rock piles and stump rows that held bunches of bass.
After all, isn't that what all the finger pointing is about after big tournaments? So and so got waypoints from such and such…and so on and so forth. I thought these coveted waypoints were the numeric keys to the professional fishing kingdom.
Well, apparently not for Ehrler, who is turning tournament fishing convention upside down with his waypoint erasing ways.
Perils of a plotted past
"Don't get me wrong, waypoints are certainly a critical part of fishing," Ehrler began. "I do use and accumulate waypoints during the week of a tournament, but once it's over, I erase them all."
"My idea of bass fishing is not to run a bunch of waypoints from last year, or a bunch of waypoints someone gave me," he continued. "I've tried that formula before and it doesn't work for me. I find it leads to a lot of wasted time and disappointment."
To hear him talk, one starts to get the idea that Ehrler might actually push the delete button on all the fishing information in his brain if he could.
"It's only human nature to want to go back to where you have caught fish before," Ehrler reasoned. "But we've reached the point in this sport where things change so fast that chasing the memories of past tournaments is a bad habit."
Ehrler's thrill in bass fishing comes from finding new fish on new water. He prefers fishing on a completely visceral level, where decisions come primarily from feel and are not corrupted by preconceived notions or predetermined scripts.
New water is so pure because there are no previous judgments about what's good or bad," he continued. "On new water, I feel my way through an area with a lot of different baits and an open mind, giving the fish a lot of opportunities to show me what they are up to at that instance. But when I pull into a familiar place where I've had success before, the memories want me to repeat the same exact steps that produced last time and that hardly ever works because conditions and fish can change so fast."
In fact, when Ehrler gets a bite or two during practice, he often leaves the area immediately to avoid discovering too much, too early. Sometimes he never even makes a cast on a spot. He will just put a waypoint on a place that "looks good" and continue on.
"The ultimate goal for me is to figure the fish out during the actual tournament hours, not three days before hand," he explains. "In my opinion, fish change too fast to 'dial them in' three days before a tournament."
Practice makes permanence
Ehrler's approach to professional fishing today is somewhat different than what was standard 20 years ago. Back then the object was to locate productive areas and really refine patterns in practice in hopes the fish stayed true to those same exact areas and patterns come tournament time.
But from Ehrler's perspective, learning too much in practice is almost a detriment to the process because the second you catch a fish you begin to lay down a permanent record of how the fish were positioned and what they were biting. That concrete knowledge can often push real-time intuition out of the nest come tournament time when things have changed.
One example Ehrler provides of this phenomenon is when co-anglers catch big bags behind pros. Pros head to an area with a deliberate purpose and plan, based on practice. The co-anger, however, is seeing the area for the first time – it's all new water to him – and he throws what feels right to him at the time.
"Pretty soon the co-angler is smashing them and the pro is still attached to what was working in practice," Ehrler suggested. "It's a real eye opener on just how fast fish can change from day to day."
At times it's almost as if Ehrler views the timing of the underworld on a more microscopic level. Instead of seeing fish patterns on broad timetables of days or weeks, he sees their behaviors in much smaller increments – like by the hour or even minutes. And staying open to those extremely subtle opportunities during a tournament day means not being too attached to the past.
And so it stands: Ehrler's standards for freshness in fishing are so steep it's understandable why he considers year-old waypoints hanging around in his units as being rotten.
"It's so hard keeping a fresh perspective on lakes you have visited multiple times, the memories and previous knowledge nag at you," Ehrler said. "But how many times are tournaments won on the same spot the next time? Hardly ever. Lakes change. Weather changes. The forage base shifts. Fishing pressure gets applied. Bass are always in flux, adapting to their environment."
But what if Ehrler did want to go back to fish a productive spot from years past? Wouldn't it be easier to have the waypoint already in the unit?
"My favorite part of fishing is the discovery process," Ehrler reveals. "Waypoints take away that process to some degree because it just becomes a routine of rolling up to GPS points and casting at them. Even if I'm going to revisit a spot from the past, I like to start from scratch and sort of discover it again."
Ehrler has actually found some of his best spots while looking for previous spots.
"I'll find another little turn or corner that I did not even know was there the last time I fished it," he says. "Forcing myself to re-find the old spot is the only way I can see it with fresh eyes."
Floating around on the meter
Despite having little use for old waypoints, Ehrler does rely heavily on today's on-board, big-screen super computers to find fish in real-time. The latest fish finding technology is so powerful it has bridged the gap between finding likely spots that might hold fish to finding the actual fish.
And that's a concept Ehrler takes advantage of. He is a whiz at deciphering what his Humminbird units are telling him at any given moment. He maximizes the full potential of his units by running traditional sonar, zoom sonar, side imaging and down imaging. And despite all the incredible functions these high-end electronics perform, Ehrler still refers to his depthfinder simply as a "meter."
"With today's super definition, target separation and different views of the water column, identifying bass on the fly has become much easier," Ehrler remarked. "It's not like, well I think it's bass in that brush pile, or I think those are fish on the bottom – it's pretty definitive."
Having that kind of confidence in his electronics allows Ehrler to, "fish off his meter" or "float around on his meter," during tournament hours looking for bass in real-time on his electronics instead of relying on waypoints where bass used to be.
"You can only waypoint places, not bass," Ehrler pointed out. "They're not always one and the same. If the bass move, the waypoint becomes just a place marker of the past. But meters don't lie; they mark fish in real time."
Ehrler's ability to find fish on the fly with his meters is impressive. He rides with his boat just on plane, scanning vast areas of the lake.
When something catches his attention, he scours it closer at an idle with multiple views of the underwater world simultaneously scrolling across multiple screens. He is constantly zooming in on images or sliding a cursor across the screen to create waypoints on specific objects or even specific fish for momentary references. Then he jumps to the bow, grabs a rod, juices up the sonar, finds a fish "on the meter" and then proceeds to drop a lure to it to see "what kind of mood it's in."
"When I find a new group of fish like that during a tournament day, it's the ultimate thrill in tournament fishing," Ehrler said. "I know they're untouched and there is not a line of people waiting to cast at them. Even when I know that potential exists to find a group like that in a tournament, I can't wait to get out of bed and go out there looking for them."
In particular, Ehrler's resume on highland-type impoundments with clear water and mixed bass species is stellar.
Consider his FLW Outdoors wins on places like Lake Cumberland, Logan Martin, Shasta, Havasu, Table Rock, Ouachita and Hartwell. In addition, Ehrler won the inaugural Major League Fishing event on Lake Amistad, a fishing competition specifically designed around no practice and no waypoints – Ehrler's briar patch.
All of Ehrler's wins have consistent themes: No use of previous waypoints, limited attachment to practice, fishing on the fly, fishing new water, finding new fish and staying open to new micro patterns that might be emerging during the day. Actually, it's quite a breath of fresh air in a waypoint weary sport.
"The hard part in this sport is making new water out of old water you have already fished at one time or another. And that's really what I'm trying to accomplish in erasing waypoints: I'm trying to see the lake as new body of water again."

Antonio Tedesco and I held the first Open Angel Forum Philly in March. We're calling it a success as investors want to come back and companies were offered funding.
That's why we are proud to announce that we're making it a regular event and OAF Philly II will be held on the evening of Sep. 20th (again at Morgan Lewis).
If you are involved in a startup that is looking for seed funding, please apply (there is no charge to apply or attend if selected): http://ye.gg/oaf
For those of you not familiar with Open Angel Forum, the idea is to get the best regional angel investors in a room and put 5-7 great startups in front of them. We hope it is a funding powder-keg.
We should have an awesome group of investors attending, just like last time. If you are an angel investor in the mid-atlantic region and want to come, please let us know.
We're also looking for a few sponsors.
Here is what we're looking for with regards to startups:
- US companies. You do not need to be associated with Philly. In fact, last time we had companies from Austin, NYC, Minneapolis and Chicago, in addition to Philly.
- Working demo, preferably already launched with some engaged users. The event format is a five min demo followed by a five min Q/A followed by networking. It's not a traditional pitch event with slides, so a working demo is essential.
- Products matching our investor preferences. Our goal is to get you funded, and to do that you can't look too different than things our angel investors generally invest in. This generally means software of some form.
- Terms matching our investor preferences. Same as above, our angels are looking for good deals. This generally means reasonable valuations and seed rounds (essentially first money in).
Here is the process:
- We're accepting applications for OAF Philly II through Fri August 26, 2011.
- Antonio and I will then go through and select the companies that fit the above criteria.
- We will then try to hold Skype demo sessions with all those companies. Last time that was about 25 startups. We may involve some other angels in this process.
- We will then extend invitations until the six slots are filled. We're aiming to do that by Sep 12th.
Feel free to ask questions in the comments, and I'll do my best to answer.
And apply already! http://ye.gg/oaf
If you have comments, hit me up on Twitter.
I'm the Founder & CEO of DuckDuckGo, the search engine that doesn't track you. I'm also the co-author of Traction, the book that helps you get customer growth. More about me.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Tuffy!
Facts about Tuffy
- Breed: Schnauzer (Miniature)/Shih Tzu Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Tuffy's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meet Tuffy. Poor Tuffy and her 2 siblings were turned into a very high kill shelter in SE KY. Thankfully we pulled them in the nick of time. Tuffy is approx. 10 weeks old and only weighs about 2 lbs. Sweet little Tuffy is the runt of the litter. She may be little but she is mighty! She loves to play and snuggle on your lap for a nap. The whole litter was infested with parasites as well but they are now the picture of health and ready to go to their forever home. Tuffy has had 2 sets of vaccinations, a fecal exam, dewormer, and flea preventative.
Tuffy and all of her siblings will be adopted out with a mandatory spay/neuter contract stating that each pup will be spayed/neutered at 6 months of age (no exceptions!) and that our rescue will be provided with proof that this was completed. If you have any questions about Tuffy, please email firstname.lastname@example.com
Other Pets at Almost Home Shelter Pet Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tuffy, a Hazard Schnauzer (Miniature)/Shih Tzu puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Schnauzer (Miniature)/Shih Tzu for sale in Hazard, or seeking a Schnauzer (Miniature)/Shih Tzu puppy from a breeder in Hazard.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hazard already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hazard breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Schnauzer (Miniature)/Shih Tzu breeders who help with Schnauzer (Miniature)/Shih Tzu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hazard paves the way for another one to be saved.

At Home and At Work
Individuals, Families and Work Places are important to the RM in the emergency management process since most emergencies will have an effect at the individual level first. There are a number of steps that can be taken to prevent, prepare and respond to an emergency in order to limit the seriousness of the effects an emergency can have in your daily lives.
We all have a responsibility to prepare for emergencies. At home, this requires an understanding of everyone's unique needs, supplies to take care of yourself for a period of at least 72 hours, that's 3 days, while emergency workers help those in urgent need. Also required are detailed plans on what you will do if there is an emergency. At work, your emergency planning should include procedures to deal with a disruption, and an understanding of how specific hazards would impact your business.
What are the risks
Manitoba's unique geography and varied climates results in a wide range of potential hazards. Know your area and learn how you can prepare for all types of emergencies. The best offense is a strong defence. Prepare various emergency plans so you and your family are ready for anything.

Last week, I told you all about Pete Reed and his fiancee boarding our bus on their way to a party hosted by Olympic legend Mark Foster... I also told you to stay tuned for more athletic bus fun. I am not one to break promises so today I give you... THE WHOLE OARSOME FOURSOME aka Team GB Rowing aka superheroes gold medallists Pete Reed, Andrew Triggs Hodge, Alex Gregory and Tom James!
They boarded our bus for a party-before-the-party type gathering (here in France we call it l'aperitif - so much shorter) to which they invited their close friends and a few VIPs, including some members of the French Rugby team: Oh La La! We took them on a lovely champagne tour of London by night and dropped them off so they could have dinner. After dinner, we picked them up again to escort them to Mahiki - a nightclub located near The Ritz, world famous for its elite clientele. There they celebrated the night away, high on sportsmanship and Olympic victories.
If you missed my previous posts about Olympic champions boarding our bus, please see here and here.

My daughter's wedding is this coming Saturday so we'll be entertaining a lot of out-of-town family and friends. I asked a couple of them if they want to go to my gun club to shoot handguns and both said yes. So it'll be my twin brother from Joliet, Illinois who has never fired a gun before. His son-in-law, Todd may come along, too. I don't know his level of experience. My friend Marc, from Maryland, is definitely interested. Last time we visited them, I showed him one of my carry guns at his kitchen table, and he asked to be taught. Maryland is a may issue state, but he's pretty conservative and always ranting about Maryland's liberal state political majority. His college age son might come along. Neither have ever fired a gun to my kowledge.
I'll start with a basic gun safety discussion and demonstrate the manual of arms for revolvers and common semi-autos, and we can demonstrate grip, sight picture and practice loading and racking slides using snap caps before we enter the range.
Once on the range, I'll start them on a .22LR revolver, then step up to a .38 SPCL. The .38 has a 5 inch barrel, so is heavy enough that its recoil won't frighten them. We'll put the revolvers away and take out the Walther P22 in .22LR. It's small, lightweight, no recoil, with an easy single action trigger (DA/SA). If they're still with me, I'll let them fire some rounds through my two favorite carry guns (.40 cal Glock 23 and 9mm Kahr MK9). The Kahr has a snappy recoil compared to what they will have fired, but I think they'll be ready for it. I'll caution them to hang on firmly.
It might be overload for the first timers, but I could also bring out the .32 ACP Beretta Tomcat. It's got a kick for such a small caliber. I might just show it to them to demonstrate the bottom size range for self defence guns.

Rockie Lo Gore-Tex
Great shoe - great price
Used a 10% discount for great pricing. Shoe would have been a great purchase without the discount. Gore Tex highly recommended for my wet location. My feet still remain cool even with Gore Tex lining.
July 24, 2014
Ordered a 1/2 size down based on reviews.
Very light weight even with the gorex
Liner. Like the harder sole rather than the cushion feel.
Great shoe. In fact, probably the best I ever owned.
February 4, 2014
great value
great comfort and utility. Might prefer a dressier style in a waterproof shoe.
December 27, 2013
Good quality, non slip sole and very comfortable
This shoe is a definite improvement over the Clark Unstructured line. Shoe is more waterproof and very slip resistant when compared to the Unstructured line. I would like to have some choices in black
January 23, 2014
Highly recommended , clarks always the best, with shoes and customer service
November 21, 2013
Not good to me
This specific Clarks model is the first one in the last 10 years which is uncomfortable to my legs. I get blisters after each wearing on the right foot. Even after 20 miles mileage the shoes are still uncomfortable. They look good.
December 25, 2013
Quality, comfort and rugged good look.
I love these shoes. Very comfortable and look great with jeans and khakis. They are a little wide, but that is my preference as I have gotten a little older. I have only had them a short time, so I can't speak to their durability or how they maintain their color or look. Really happy at this point.
December 22, 2013
True to size & feature rich
I've worn these for a few weeks so far and they exceed my expectations. I'm hoping that after many miles of casual country-side walkabouts, they are just as great!
July 4, 2013
Nice shoe, but for the money, they could last a little longer
I have purchased many pairs of Clarks gore-tex shoes over the years. I work outside and having a water proof shoes is a must. Although the shoes keep my feet dry, they seem to start falling apart after 5 or 6 months. I would like to see them last a little longer.
January 5, 2013
Very comfortable shoe
The leather is just so soft,and the active air technology makes the shoes very comfortable.

I bought this after reading reviews that it could get rid of milia. I've had a problem with them around my eye area for years now and this was the first thing I have used that actually got rid of them. Would be happier if this came in a smaller tube, because you only need to use a little of this for this purpose and it doesn't last that long before you hit the expiry date.
This is a lightweight nourishing cream that has a very gentle exfoliating property. I use frequently on my bikini line after waxing, but more often as a mixer to the dry Moor Mud mask. The exfoliating property helps the mud to penetrate more deeply to cleanse and detoxify. I have however also found this cream to be mild enough to place on the undereye area when I get the wayward milia- and it has gently and effectively rid them as well.
