I recently recieved for my birthday a gift certificate to a restaurant from a friend who I do not wish to begin gift giving for lots of reasons. I think she is great, I like her but honestly my birthday budget for the year is busting at the seams from parties our four kids attend.
I asked her to come to lunch with me to share in the gift certificate and she said she wanted to go to lunch but not use the gc- she wants me to use it with DH. Well my lunch budget is also bust this time of year with Christmas coming... Should I just thank her for the gc and drop it or should I take her to lunch as a thank you, or insist on using the gc with my friend? Also can I stick to a card for her birthday or do I need to make a greater gesture since she gave the gc??? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Allow her to give you a gift. There is no reason you need to give her one...just remember to write a gracious thank you note. Linda C |
In lieu of a gift, how about some special baked goods, fresh from your own oven? Pumpkin bread, ginger cookies, scones, or anything a little different is always a real treat. |
I agree with LindaC. As for lunch either go some place cheap or maybe have her over to your house for lunch if your budget won't allow going out. The idea of lunch with a friend is to get together and chat and spend time together. Whether that's in a restaurant or your house shouldn't matter. I have friends who are on tight budgets, and when they say no going out this month or something like that, we simply make alternate low-cost or no-cost plans. No shame in it, everyone has their own budget and (most)everyone has been on a tight budget so people understand. I have a group of friends who got into the gift-giving mode. Five of us - and we ended up being obligated to recognize each of our birthdays. Well, I didn't want to do it anymore, not so much for the cost (although that did come into play) but because I had to agonize over what to get them every year. So I recently brought it up, could we quit giving each other gifts? We already do a sort of greed game gift exchange in Dec so we decided to let that suffice. I think everyone was relieved. You know, some people just love to give gifts. It's not that I don't like giving so much, it's more that I agonize over what to give and probably don't get it right more often than not. By the same token, I end up with gifts from others which I really don't want or need -- it's not that I'm not grateful, but I can see them in that same situation, wondering what to get me, and ending up with something I'm not that wild about. For me, friendship is way more about spending time together, doing whatever, than it is about exchanging gifts. |

In Argentina,
A PS3 costs about 900 US dollars.
A Wii costs about 600 US dollars.
I don't know the figure for a 360, but it must be around 800~900 US dollars.
And a PS3 game must cost about 150 dollars or something like that (don't have the exact figures, either, but seeing how most good but old PS2 games are about 100 dollars...).
I've asked a friend of mine who traveled to the US to bring me a Nintendo DS (even got a 20% discount on it!), and with an R4 I'm able to play almost all games for a fraction of what would cost to buy them legally here (A DS is about 250~300 US dollars, no idea about the games but most unofficial retailers package a flashcard for about 25 extra dollars).
Console and game prices are bullshit on this side of the world. Stop fucking whining, Nintendo.

It's DDR1 (more expensive) and it's the machine at my workplace.
But the point was to show that Windows XP performance isn't suited for 128 MiB of RAM.
Re:Think Different! (696 comments)
In my work machine with 512 MB of RAM, spoiled by the multitasking I'm accustomed to in my home machine, I've got Windows dropping over 700 MB of virtual memory on the page file. When I had 512 MB of RAM on my desktop (a couple of months ago), with even higher usage I barely slipped over 400 MB of swap space used.
With my kind of usage, it's sluggish as hell, especially if you tend to multitask a lot (say thanks to Windows' "Oh, let's nice all minimized apps!" mentality). On 512 MB of RAM.
Re:Think Different! (696 comments)

"The latest company to possibly jump on the Blu-ray bandwagon is none other than Microsoft itself, the backers of the rival HD-DVD format. According to BetaNews, Albert Penello, director for global marketing at Microsoft, revealed that while his company will continue to back the HD-DVD for the 360, that because of the external drive capability of the Xbox, that it would be also possible to ship a Blu-ray drive for the game machine if HD-DVD didn't survive the battle against Blu-ray.

Wicker Park/Bucktown
Silver Cloud
Chicago, IL, 60647, United States
An unusual combination of classic comfort foods and innovative cocktails awaits diners at this retro-style restaurant in Bucktown. Illuminated by fringed lamps, the dining room contains red leather booths, a 1920's-era bar, a working jukebox, and even a selection of board games. During warmer months, patrons can also dine outside on the spacious patio. Silver Cloud's signature dish is the traditional sloppy Joe, although diners also enjoy the chicken pot pie and stuffed turkey sandwich. For those who overindulge in the restaurant's specialty cocktails, such as the Smoretini, the brunch menu offers "hangover helpers" like homemade biscuits and gravy.
Insider Tip:
During brunch, don't miss the "snazzy" Bloody Mary, served with a skewer of veggies, a shrimp, and a stuffed olive. Many claim it's the best Bloody in Chicago.

The History of Expense Reports: A Look at How Expenses Have Evolved Throughout Time
Humans have been tracking expenses since the Stone Age, when we began using tokens to keep track of trade and wealth. The abacus, coin-based currency, and cash registers all reshaped how individuals and businesses managed profits and expenses. It wasn't until the late 20th century, thanks to a technology boom, that we were able to automate our accounting processes Continue Reading »

> I have an amd64 running in 64 bit mode. There honestly isn't much
FWIW, I strongly disagree. You get much better performance per clock on a
64-bit machine even when running in 32-bit simply due to chip architecture
improvements including SSE2 among other things, and the price should not be
that different when compared with the 32-bit offering (as long as you don't
go for the FX stuff). Also, heat dissipation as well as battery life (if
considering laptop) is definitely a plus when compared with Pentium4
offering. Pentium-M processors are also nice but also generally more
I've been using the eMachines (now Gateway) M68xxx series with 32-bit Linux
and have practically abandoned using my desktop altogether.
Best wishes,

Ok, time to have opinions. Jabberwocky has made the fog again so here's hoping it climbs through the night. Mine start with rasabi's Dance Dance Revolution. Love the dancer, the graffiti feel and the colors Torn between kevlar51's Revolution and Dino-Soar but the little green guy wins on heart Apelad's Pop Culture One Color Oddball Slogan So rare for text to make a shirt, but "almost too easy" is just the right amount of snapping everything into place. And for my cat shirt choice (that's always a cat-egory now, right, now that the feline Dear Ol' Dad have declared themselves), Cat-Stronauts almost sneaks in but I like the color and asymetry of jasneko's Alley Cat So what'd I miss?
Great choices there! Beyond my previous nods in this thread, my picks are: Jabberwocky slipped through the night, so hopefully it does get an EC: Jabberwocky A good message, supported with cuteness: Save Everything!

those two were definitely on my must winnow the list down list. And now, if all our picks end up on shirts somehow (hint, hint), maybe more wooters will weigh in the next time ; )
Is it too late to play? This didn't make the Top 2, so it might need an EC to save it. Maybe this wasn't the best idea... This is a clever idea with great artwork.

- 1 tablespoon(s) brandy or rum
- 2 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoon(s) unflavored gelatin
- 3 cup(s) low-fat milk
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 can(s) (14-ounce) nonfat sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon(s) freshly grated nutmeg
- In a small bowl, combine brandy or rum and vanilla; sprinkle in gelatin and set aside to soften.
- In a heavy saucepan, heat 1 1/2 cups of the milk over medium heat until steaming. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk.
- Gradually pour the hot milk into the condensed milk/egg yolk mixture, whisking until blended. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the custard coats the back of the spoon lightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Do not overcook or boil, or the custard will curdle.
- Strain the custard into a clean bowl. Add the softened gelatin mixture and whisk until it has melted. Whisk in nutmeg and the remaining 1 1/2 cups cold milk. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours.
- Pour into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions. If necessary, place the ice cream in the freezer to firm up before serving.

Sorry for the re-post but I wanted to include a link to a picture.
We have a beautiful indoor white bird of paradise that is now about 12 feet tall. About 8 months ago it started getting small (about 1/8 - 1/4")white spots on it's leaves. They can be removed with a damp rag but they will re-appear in a few weeks. If they are not removed quickly the leaf will turn yellow underneath the spots. I have tried two different kinds of fungicide, multiple times, but they keep coming back. They are heavier on the underside of the leaves but if they are not removed they will spread over the entire leaf. If the white stuff gets heavy enough, it takes on a fuzzy look. Other than these darn spots, the plant appears very healthy and continues to grow. I have attached a photo of one of the leaves. I don't know what this is and I don't know what else to try. ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated. THANKS! |

Mealybugs? Hard to tell from the picture, but that's sort of the only thing that leaps to mind. Wouldn't rule out a fungus, but if fungicides don't kill it, then . . . you know. |
Yes, that looks like a mealy bug infestation to me. |

woodygo, the image reminds me of the 'tea scale'. Mealy bug infestations on this plant are usually located in the area of the petioles and in the unrolled lamina of the youngest leaves. The other scale insects are more prevalent. woodypest.ifas.ufl.edu/scales.htm provides good images of the scale insects. |
I also think that it is a scale insect infestation. If we could see a close-up of the pests, we could be certain. Feeding activity of scale insects often result in yellow splotches. I'd put the fungicides away until you have a definite diagnosis. |

Could be either scale or mealy, IMO. If so, fungicide won't work, but I would try an insecticide that kills both. Follow directions carefully, and you will have to make multiple treatments. |

Not fungus. Mealybugs or some kind of scale. I'd try rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball then Safer's or another brand of insecticidal soap first and Malathion if that doesn't work. |

Woodygo, Our white bird of paradise has the same white fuzz. Did you ever figure out how to get rid of it? Any help would be greatly appreciated! |
Mealy or scale, it doesn't matter (my vote is for some sort of scale, Bois-duval maybe?), since mealy is a kind of scale and you treat them the same way. First line of defense is to wipe off all the visible pests. Next, spray with an insecticidal soap or horticultural oil. Keep at this for a while and that should take care of it. Be persistant, this kind of scale is insidious! |

Change it
- A woman should feel proud to take her husband's last name. On my wedding day I was so proud when they announced for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Our children carry his name. We are a family. The Bible says the two become one. You are to cleave on to your husband and leave your family. This means your name, too. If you truly love your husband, take his name.
- —Guest sks
- Bravo, Guest Sarah, the only truly intelligent post here.
- —Guest GuestMe
Both should change
- Marriage is a concept that two united people should embrace. So, both the husband and wife should change their names. If the wife's last name is to be hyphenated, then so is the husband's last name. That is honestly the fairest way to go.
- —Guest Cassi
- I am not in favor of changing name after marriage. If man can live whole his life with his birth name, why can't we? This tradition is so widespread that nowadays nobody even asks a girl whether she wants to change her name after marriage. Elder people do it themselves, and when some girls dared to change their name, they are forced to do that. Why so? I want to see women living their own identity for their entire life. I am not saying that women who choose to change their name after marriage can not have their own identity. But it must be her personal decision whether to stick with maiden name or accept her husband's name. Nobody should force her.
- —Guest Aanal Bharat Trivedi
Stats show more women are changing
- Statistically, the practice of women keeping their maiden name peaked in the early 90s and has declined ever since. More and more women (the vast majority - almost 90 percent in most studies) are choosing to change their name. Women who keep their name are a smaller and smaller minority. And guess what? The 90 percent who change their name don't turn into brainless robots! That's just a ridiculous fairy tale women tell themselves when they need the women's movement for intellectual and emotional support, when they're not strong enough to deal with the world on their own steam. Seriously, how many Stepford wives do you actually know? I think in my entire life I've met one. According to my women's studies profs, this mythical creature is everywhere. Ha. Here's a concept: I chose to date him. I chose to to marry him. I chose his name. All choices made by me. So, yeah. Not surrendering my identity there. I'm choosing my identity. Feminists are not often noted for their critical thinking.
- —Guest Magdalena
Religious concerns for B-A-Christian me
- The issue for me and I am engaged and he cares more about what I want to do, and he has a lovely last name, there are places with his name in America, my family's last name, because, "Hey I'm not a maiden, but i was independent younger and am more cooperative now, my family name is an embarrassing name that is one letter short of a bad word in English in my opinion. The issue I am struggling with is I overcame the issue of my family name made it a good thing, as good as my family. Also, religiously I feel God calls me by this whole name including last name, so if i take his last name I don't want to feel like I don't appreciate the name God gave me before marriage even when I was picked on most of my life into adulthood until I made the jokes and laughed with them about it and God helped me know myself by this name I was hurt by others for having. So, I need to figure out if I can, after all God did for me while he called me by this name he gave me, take another name when I marry my man. It's not easy.
- —Guest crystal
What does it matter?
- The relationship matters, not the name. If the commitment is strong, and your partner is happy, I don't believe he would care if you called yourself whatever name you feel comfortable with. I have been married 22 years. I still use my ex-husband's name because of my daughter. My son with my new husband has his name. I use both at times. With so many problems in the world right now, focus life's attention on making the world a better place. The name doesn't make the individual a better person the way they love their life does.
- —Guest sjtw
- I believe and know that the last name is given to us after birth from your blood that represents your father and mother. There is not explanation or normal thing to say by law. The woman has the husband's last name because they are married or because they have children. There is no way that the blood is transferred from the husband to the wife and alter the nature that is ridiculous to change their name. I understand when the woman is an ignorant or has bad reputation, she can adopt another last name to clean her history a little bit, but after divorced has to remove the last name of the ex-husband and go back to the real name and confront the reality and accept it good or bad.
- —Guest RAQUEL
- I kept my ex's last name, and I am currently struggling with whether to drop my ex's name as we have three children. My common-law husband and I have a son as well, and I honestly want to hyphenate or perhaps use my ex's name as my middle name. I just don't know at this point, but it has nothing to do with independence. I love and adore my husband and I loathe my ex. I want to represent all my children and being that they are 10, 6, and 6, it is my worry that they will not understand the dynamics of it and feel that I no longer wish to have "their" name without recognizing that it is their "father's name" that I no longer wish to have, so I will most likely hyphenate both names [my common-law spouse doesn't care what my name is as it has nothing to do with our commitment to one another!]
- —kitri2779
Why should I?
- I have been married for over four years and I kept my maiden name. Our son got my husband's last name but I am not changing mine. We love each other and all that, but the name has been my identity from the time I was born until the 25 years until I got married, so can I imagine changing my name after having it for 25 years? Hell no! Besides, I would have the same last name as my MIL, so no thank you! ;) LOL! Honestly, I think it's too much to ask for and is unfair when the man doesn't change his name and marriage is supposed to be a "union of our souls" not our soul's last names!
- —Guest Ashley
- If you are getting married, usually you don't think about the WHAT IF WE GET DIVORCED AND I HAVE TO CHANGE MY NAME BACK AND ALL THE HASSLE? That shouldn't matter because you are getting married with plans on staying together forever. It shouldn't matter if you change your name or not, but you shouldn't be thinking of the negative "what ifs."
- —Guest Britni
think of your kids
- My husband's family is of Portugese descent. Thus, his legal middle name is his mother's last name ("maiden" name, she did not change it). When two people marry, I like to see it as a blending of two lives, two families, not that one person "belongs" to another. When our daughter was born, we gave my last name as her middle name, and my husband's last name as her last name. This was not confusing for our family doctors, our daughter's school teacher, or others out in the community. They figured it out. We live in a very diverse, urban area where different traditions are continued and respected. How refreshing in the 21st century!
- —LadyGiselle
Long term name
- I was married 21 years then divorced, and I finally remarried. I have had my last married name for 36 years and that is my son's last name. I am just having a hard time losing that name. I just want to add my new husband's last name. Have you ever heard of this - keeping your ex-husband's last name? Also I am very close to my ex-husband's family and my new husband doesn't have a problem with me keeping it.
- —Guest Jeanne
Throwback to Patriarchy
- It's baffling to me that name changing still happens. It is a remnant of the patriarchal ideology which existed to identify which woman and which children belonged to an individual man; it was a way for a man's property to be identified. As we no longer see women in this light or define the relationship of marriage under these constraints, why would we still expect couples to follow this "tradition?" If it really is that important for families to have the same name, why not come up with a unique and new name to identify your individual family and have BOTH parties change their names?
- —Guest amp
- Those of you who think that a marriage is 50/50, apparently have not been married long or you have an unusual marriage. Sometimes it is 90/10, 60/40, etc. depending on who needs the most encouragement and help at the time. I think that children should have a "family name." If you don't want to change your name, then it is your choice. However, it should be understood that it is also the choice of your partner. Talk about these things before it becomes an issue. My son is about to marry and just found out after five years that his fiance does not want his name. He is devastated. It may not be important to all men, but it is important to some. Make sure that you communicate before you marry. God bless.

BlackBox Voting Tests California Diebold Machines
Diebold is doing a little happy dance! (238 comments)
There are about as many ways Black Box Voting can mess up this test as there are ways to cheat elections that use these easily programmed voting machines and tabulators.
Computers are machines which we use to manipulate data. Votes are not the kind of data we want manipulated. End of case, electronic voting machines are a bad idea.
The "paper trail" some of these machines produce is not the ballot that is actually counted, it is an auditing tool. In California only 1% of these paper votes will be compared to the electronic vote. Unless the audit is very carefully designed, and some very stringent security measures enforced, there will be many opportunites to cheat, since 99% of the electronic votes will not be compared to the paper votes. Paper trails and electronic votes are much easier to mess with than boxes and boxes of voter verified paper ballots. People tend to notice when large bulky ballot boxes are being messed with, but nobody can see what's happening to their votes inside a memory cartridge.

Man Facing 60 Days in Jail For Worshipping on His Own Property
It's his property, but it may also be a church, and that makes it a zoning issue
Michael Salman and family / Image: christiannews.net
Is talk of "building codes" in fact code for dissing one man's religious freedom? The man in question certainly thinks so.
The Daily Mail reports on the plight of Michael Salman, a Phoenix family man facing a possible 60 day stint in jail for holding weekly Bible study sessions on his own property. The city claims he's hosting church services with the 2,000 sq. foot building in his backyard, rendering him in violation of building codes that require he post exit signs and build handicap ramps, among other legal necessities.

Do you think the city is in fact attacking Salman's faith, or is this purely a zoning issue? |

Dome Shaped Structures Make Very Strong Homes, Storm Shelters even Survival Bunkers
Dome houses are rare and so are other kinds of dome structures that may be part of a roof system such as a dome over a church or religious place of worship. In some locations domes have been built because of their ability to withstand extreme conditions , particularly wind and seismic loads. One of the oldest buildings in the world is a dome, the Pantheon in Rome is over 2000 years old and still in perfect condition. This magnificent dome structure has withstood all the ravages of invasions and sacking through time where all other buildings in Rome are in ruins.
Inherent Advantages of Domes
There are several advantages inherent in domed shape buildings. To begin with they are extremely efficient in use of materials. A dome building covers a floor area with approximately 30% less external surface area that a conventional building.
Structurally a dome is very much more efficient than conventional buildings because a dome shell structure distributes load evenly around the structure allowing it to accept significantly higher load scenarios that conventional rectangular buildings
Living in a Dome House
People who live in dome houses are almost entirely in agreement that they would never want to move back to a rectangular building. Interesting! Why is that?
From all our experience with dome buildings and dome homes and having visited several dome homes in various countries there are a few aspects which really stand out and some of these hit you as soon as you walk into the dome home.
Generally the first impression is one of space and light. Contrary to external appearances the interior of a dome is much larger that it looks from outside due to the 30% less surface area of the building. It plays an illusion.
Second impression is how absolutely comfortable it feels inside a dome shaped building. No corners, just smooth round walls and roof which feels very natural and nurturing to the human being.
Thirdly, furniture fits into a round space perfectly well. Pictures hang on the walls just the same way they do on a flat wall and actually the flow inside a round space also feels a lot more comfortable.
The Purest Sound Inside a Dome
If you study how sound waves move and interact inside of a space of any kind it will give you a good impression of how the space will feel to inhabit. For example inside of a hemispherical dome, sound is reflected from the dome shape back to the centre of the structure at the diameter.
What this means is that there is absolutely no phase cancellation or standing wave action inside a dome. The sound is pure in contrast to rectangular buildings which severely distort the purity of sound because of reflections off the walls.
Behaviour of sound in a dome shape illustrates very well how all the energy flow inside a dome feels.
In addition to orientation, Feng Shui in the design of a home or any other building deals primarily with energy and the flow of energy and how the building will FEEL to it's occupants.
The best aspects of Fen Shui are inherent in a dome.
Ventilation in Domes
A common comment made by people who live in dome houses is that they do not have a mold problem. This is due to the superior ventilation inherent when a dome is ventilated through an opening in the apex which causes the most efficient and thorough ventilation of the space below. In contrast to a conventional building a dome draws air from around its circumference expelling through the apex.
Composite Materials for Dome Construction
Domeshells has been developing and building dome shaped structures since the year 2000 focusing on the use of composite materials and fabrication systems to build lightweight structures. Composite structural skins sandwiched over a light weight foam core creates relatively lightweight panels with excellent thermal insulation.
Seven years R&D in collaboration with QUT School of Engineering, Brisbane has given us the opportunity to develop various material systems which can be used to build domes using various mold systems.
In contrast to linear construction a dome geometry (the shape) must be formed by some means other than a straight line.
Compound Curves of the Dome Shape
Domeshells does NOT build geodesic domes which are created with triangular elements to form a dome shape with facets. Domeshells has always built completely compound curved surfaces using mostly hemispherical geometry. Our domes have smooth round surfaces
Compound curves means that the surface curves in all direction. It is not just a mono curve. Creating compound curved elements requires a mold system. A pattern is made of the shape and then the composite material is applied over that shape to form the dome or the elements or pieces of the dome which can be joined at a later stage.
Methods of Constructing Domes Using Composite Material Systems
GRC/Polyurethane Foam Core
Domeshells has developed a patented system of fabricating dome structures using an airform. An airform is a ballon fabricated in the shape of the dome which is fixed around the circumference of the slab or foundation and inflated.
Once inflated, the inside of the balloon is accessed through an airlock system and from inside the airform, the various composite materials are sprayed creating a monolithic shell structure.
This system utilised high strength polymer modified, glass fiber reinforced concrete structural coatings either side of a closed cell polyurethane foam core.
The Most Advanced Materials Dome Building System
FRP (Glass and Resign/Foam Core) Aerospace Materials
More recently Domeshells has been utilising materials that are closer to aerospace materials than conventional building materials. Aerospace material systems are now cost competitive with other material systems in the construction industry. Laminate sandwich systems means that domes can be produced with extremely high performance characteristics in all respects.
The 'DreamDome' is Domeshells latest innovation in dome construction using almost exactly the same basic mold systems and techniques combined with the sophistication of production using resigns, glass fiber or carbon fibre.
Domeshells has completed a dome roof over a Mosque near Brisbane using this sandwich material system with great success. On going development including extensive structural design means that we are very close to our first residential prototype.
The 'DreamDome' is revolutionary. It is a totally prefabricated panel system that arrives on site and can be assembled in a couple of days by only a few people. The 'DreamDome' is a category 5 rated dome structure with excellent thermal properties.
The 'DreamDome' is shelter for the 21st Century when climate change and other events will make survival a huge issue for many of us on this planet.
The Most Advanced Low-Tech Dome Building System
Bamboo, Mesh, Sand and Cement Dome Building System
Using these materials to build domes is very exciting because of its low cost and versatility. Extremely low cost in materials although high labour content makes this system ideal for many parts of the world and for people who have more time than money.
Using Bamboo Mesh and Render for dome construction produces very strong 'monolithic shell structures'. Like a sea shell the dome has no seams and with continuous reinforcement together with the mesh and the bamboo the dome shell is capable of any load imposed provided the design is appropriate.
Common Uses for Dome Structures
A dome shaped building can be used for any purpose that a conventional structure is used for including:
- Cabins
- Houses
- Tourist accommodation
- Mining accommodation
- Storage silos
- Survival shelters
- Storm shelters
- Emergency shelter
- Disaster reconstruction
- Extreme conditions shelter

"Really good. Maybe next time I'll add bell peppers though."
"Made this the other day. It was super delicious. I cooked 2 pounds of potatoes, used 1 cup of full fat real mayo and 1/2 cup of low fat and used only 1/2 of the sugar and only 4 eggs. It turned out amazing! Will definitely be making this again and again."

Fast-forward to the Reagan era, when gas was cheap and few people cared about oil reserves. Honda's 1984 Civic CRX hatchback nevertheless picked up where the CVCC left off, continuing its pursuit of fuel efficiency with clever tweaks to the Civic sedan's spec sheet and a cheeky mind-set. The difference? Unlike the CVCC, the CRX was a fun, refined, quiet, and relatively modern car, and it still comports itself well today.
Consider its engine - a 1.3-liter, aluminum-block four-cylinder that's barely larger than a briefcase. Although it was based on the ordinary Civic's 1.5-liter unit, clever updates such as smaller crankshaft journals and fewer piston rings (two per cylinder, versus the 1.5's three) were implemented in the name of reduced internal friction. An aluminum cylinder head, a plastic valve cover, and a hollow camshaft helped reduce weight; a lunchbox-sized catalytic converter was tucked up underneath the exhaust manifold in order to be both as small and as effective as possible. All told, the engine weighed about 200 pounds, produced an impressive 60 hp at 5500 rpm, and churned out 73 lb-ft of torque at 3500 rpm.
Still, there's more to high mileage than a pint-size, punch-above-its-weight powerplant. Compared with the Civic, the base CRX (Honda also offered a slightly porkier, less-efficient 1.5-liter model) employed a handful of canny chassis tricks. The gas tank, cooling system, and front disc brakes were all Lilliputian; a plastic nosepiece and front fenders helped cut weight; and the CRX's bobtail shape yielded a wind-cheating 0.33 drag coefficient. A widely geared five-speed manual put the power to the ground through skinny thirteen-inch rubber. When Honda's engineers finally put down their pencils, they had created a midget monster: in 1984, the base CRX was the lightest and most fuel-efficient car money could buy.
The car you see here, Northern California resident Gordon Baeyen's 370,000-mile 1985 CRX HF, represents what came next. Honda gifted the CRX with a mild revamp in '85, bumping the base model's displacement to 1.5 liters and adding an "HF" badge, but the rest of the car remained essentially unchanged. The HF's significance lies in the fact that it was marketed solely on its fuel thrift - most ads for the HF touted the glories of the 50-mpg life. (Despite its age, Baeyen's car regularly averages 40 mpg.)
As you might expect from a car that weighs just over 1700 pounds, Baeyen's CRX is tiny. Really tiny. Acres of glass and toothpick-thin roof pillars tend to fool the camera lens, but in person, the CRX comes across as a believe-it-or-not Mini-Me, a shrunk-in-the-wash version of a real car. The hood wafts open with the lightest of lifts, as thin and tossable as a potato chip. The peashooter exhaust could be clogged by a golf ball. Bowled over by how tiny it is, you circle the car in a daze, amazed that everything works - "Look," you think, "it actually runs! The hood even opens! How cute!"

South Africa
The host of the 2010 World Cup has spent the last few years preparing for its moment in the spotlight, with a slew of new stadiums and a fresh crop of hotels and restaurants springing up in their path. Most of the soccer action will take place in June and July in Johannesburg and Cape Town (pictured), but the latter is our top choice for its myriad other attractions: gorgeous beaches, world-class vineyards, stylish nightlife, and a relaxed vibe. Among the new hotel arrivals: the One&Only Cape Town, which landed in early 2009 with a gargantuan infinity pool, a Nobu restaurant, and spectacular views of Table Mountain. The Taj Cape Town opens its doors in January 2010 with 166 rooms, three restaurants, and a Jiva spa, all spread across two landmark buildings in the center of town. The justly beloved Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa just completed a major renovation of its 70 rooms perched between the eponymous mountain range and the Atlantic. From the Cape region, it's an easy transfer to the northwest, home to South Africa's best safari options (bonus: prime viewing months coincide with the World Cup). Stay in the brand-new Cliff Lodge, the latest addition to Sir Richard Branson's Ulusaba Private Game Reserve; the two-bedroom retreat has its own swimming pool and dining room. If you're more interested in watching theatrics on the playing field than on the savanna, keep in mind that World Cup tickets are very hard to come by. Outfitter Destination Southern Africa is offering tailor-made itineraries that include good seats at top matches, along with accommodations at different price points.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
One of the hidden gems of Adobe Illustrator has to be the custom views feature. When we're working with documents, especially complicated ones with multiple art boards and elements, you may find that you need to constantly zoom in and out on certain elements in the document. Unfortunately, even for the most seasons of veterans this is a tedious task. However, with custom views inside of Illustrator you can create instant shortcuts to various points in your document making it super easy for you to get where you need to go. Let's take a look. First of all, I need to show you exactly where the Custom Views menu is.
If I come up here to the View menu and go all the way down to the bottom, you'll see that I have two options here for New View and Edit Views. This is where I go to create my New View and also where I would go to edit any existing views that I have. Let's go ahead and find a specific area that I need to create a custom view and then we will worry about these options. I will click away to close that. Now I will grab my Zoom tool. First of all, I want to create a view were I am zoomed in right here on the logo and then I will go to View > New View, and I'll call this Logo Zoomed, hit OK.
Now I can go back out, and let's move over here and let's say that wanted to take a look at this piece of artwork here. I will go to View > New View and I'll call this new view Splatter Paint, hit OK. Now I will zoom back out, let's move back over here. Let's create one more, go right here to the email address, View > New View and I'll call this Email and hit OK.
Now once I got my views set I can actually go up to the View menu and scroll all the way to the bottom, and you'll see my different views here. I can see Logo Zoomed, I can also go down to Splatter Paint and go back and find Email. What's great about this, is it also will remember the type of preview that you're looking at, at the time the view is defined. So for instance, I can go back over here to the logo, choose View and at the top select Outline Mode, and then go to View and go down at the bottom and select New View and call this Logo Outline, hit OK, and now watch what happens when I switch views.
I will go back to View menu and I'll choose Splatter Paint. Splatter Paint looks normal, I go back to Logo Zoomed, Logo Zoomed looks normal, but if I go back and I find Logo Outline, it automatically zooms me back to that and sets me into Outline Preview mode. So you can utilize these different custom views inside of Illustrator to view your artwork in a variety of different ways and configurations. So now that you know how to utilize custom views in Illustrator, you'll be able to access various parts of your next project with relative ease compared to using the keyboard or constantly switching tools.
Remember, I'm a big believer in increasing productivity and this is a surefire way to do just that.
Access exercise files from a button right under the course name.
Search within course videos and transcripts, and jump right to the results.
Remove icons showing you already watched videos if you want to start over.
Make the video wide, narrow, full-screen, or pop the player out of the page into its own window.
Click on text in the transcript to jump to that spot in the video. As the video plays, the relevant spot in the transcript will be highlighted.

De-fanged cobras
cobras are back fanged snakes, unlike rattlesnakes who have the giant front fangs. cobras have to bite the "chew" to get you.
Even if they were de-fanged, wouldn't they be striking at him? The fact that they didn't even bite him with or without fangs is astounding.

How Can You Resist a Sweet Sleeping Baby?
Putting a child to sleep and just walking away is easier said than done.
No matter how tired I am, or how much work I need to get done, I can't help but stop and stare at my sleeping babies. Even my oldest baby who is four is just precious to look at, and now with my newborn, Little L, I have a hard time looking away.
I trace her features with my eyes, I follow the lines of her lips, I gently swoop my fingertips over her eyelids, then brush my hand on her cheek. She may flutter with baby delight or let out a sigh and re-snuggle back in my arms. I dare anyone to try to resist that — it's pretty much impossible.
Here are a few quotes and my own personal thoughts on sleeping babies because they are just magical. Enjoy and sweet sleeping!

Spot the sweet stuff in the strangest of places
Behold the golden rule of the grocery store: If it's packaged, it's probably packed with sugar. Yup, the sweet stuff is absolutely everywhere. And if you're not careful, sneaky sugar bombs won't hesitate to detonate. Arm yourself with the knowledge of where sugar hides, and you'll never have to suffer an unintentional sugar binge again.
New deluxe edition with 100 bonus recipes—not available in stores. Shrink your sugar belly, lose weight, and feel better than ever, with The Sugar Smart Diet!
If a slippery slab of barbecued ribs makes your heart skip a beat, there's a good reason why. Blame the 13 grams of sugar for every two tablespoons of BBQ. And with all that grilled meat to coat, who stops at just two?
Total sugar packets:
It seems innocent enough, but fruit yogurt is one of the biggest sugar bombs on the shelves. With 19 grams of sugar, no wonder it tastes like dessert—because it is dessert.
More from Prevention: 10 Low-Sugar Cookie Recipes
Greasy takeout has a reputation for being laden with MSG and sodium, but there's a reason they call it sweet and sour chicken. That "sweet" part comes from the 19 grams of sugar.
First you had to worry about the refined flour in your spaghetti, and now the sauce? Man, pasta night just can't catch a break. The sauce alone has 12 grams of sugar for every half cup. And though pasta doesn't have any sugar per se, it may as well: It's digested so rapidly in your body that it spikes insulin just like the sweet stuff.
Nobody's shocked that soda's a sugar bomb. But with 29 grams per 8-ounce can, its importance can't be overstated. When asked what one change people should make to dramatically reduce their risk of chronic disease, Prevention advisor Andrew Weil, MD, had a simple answer: "Cut out sugar-sweetened drinks." (Just don't turn to the diet stuff; check out these 7 gross side effects of diet soda.)
Finding it in "health" food doesn't change the fact that agave is just dressed up sugar. But since it's 85% fructose, it's arguably even more damaging than cane sugar, which is all sucrose. Fructose is metabolized almost exclusively by your liver, which is hard work.
Sounds healthy, but in some cases, dried fruit might as well be candy. Just ⅓ of a cup can have 24 grams of sugar. And don't think it all comes from the fruit: Most brands list added sugar as the second ingredient.
No surprise here, since gummy worms are coated in the stuff. But did you realize you're chewing 44 grams of sugar for every 10 worms?
Those convenient afternoon snacks aren't only made of whole-grain oats. One bar can pack 12 grams (or much more) of sugar, so be sure to read the label before demolishing one.
Guzzle one of these, and you'll be more than a little wired—thanks largely not to caffeine, but to sugar. Some types pack a title-clinching 83 grams of sugar. Ladies and gentlemen, we have an ultimate sugar bomb.

Association for Community Living recognizes milestonesAug. 21, 2014 |
SPRINGFIELD – To a backdrop of proud smiles and enthusiastic applause, The Association For Community Living honored individuals it serves for milestones such as overcoming fears, working on lifestyle goals and persistence in the face of health challenges.
At its Annual Dinner and Awards Ceremony, on June 17 at the Log Cabin in Holyoke, Executive Director Barbara Pilarcik also presented achievement and anniversary awards to agency programs and highlighted outstanding contributions of staff and community members. "Every day, day in and day out, our staff is in our communities doing good work. Their actions and deeds overwhelm prejudice, doubt and fear," Pilarcik said. "These are the people who fulfill our mission each and every day and who, together with persistence and resilience, have overwhelmed the world with their good work." The awards program was attended by over 300 board members, staff, volunteers, supporters and those in greater western Massachusetts who are served by The Association along with their families. Pilarcik also held a moment of silence for 16 friends of The Association who died in the past year, including Judge Sidney Cooley of Longmeadow, who died in January at age 100. She said of the friends, many of whom were also donors, "They often led the way in showing communities how to accept a child who may be more challenged than some, but no less gifted. Their courage in standing up and stepping up has left us much better off." Pilarcik presented the following awards to individuals throughout Western Massachusetts served by the agency: • Titus Barklow of Springfield, for persistence in his Judo and Karate training for seven years. "He is now at the brown belt level and has been working hard to earn his black belt," Pilarcik said. "Congratulations, Titus on your energy and positive attitude." • Peter Bergeron of West Springfield, for persistence in working toward good health. "Peter has lost 50 pounds and has learned how to make better food choices, and he watches his portion sizes," Pilarcik said. "He has started exercising and takes walks around the block." • Bill Bragdon of Indian Orchard, for resilience in overcoming the loss of his late, long-time friend and housemate. "Bill has grown and found his own voice," Pilarcik said. "He assisted in the Toy Drive at Shriners Hospital for Children in Springfield and participated in many of the REACH activities. He speaks up more, expresses his own opinions and is more outgoing." • Richard Gemme of West Springfield, for successfully tackling the challenge of trimming down his large record collection. "It is never easy to part with these objects of our desire, but when they overwhelm us, it is necessary," Pilarcik said. • Marie Guillmette of Chicopee, who Pilarcik said has "shown the power of a loving presence in her visits to her grandmother, who is living in a nursing home." • John Hanuszcsyk of Springfield, for dedication in achieving his brown belt in karate and working toward his black belt. "John has never lost the same energy and enthusiasm he had as a beginner," Pilarcik said. • Elizabeth "Betsy" Jackson of Westfield, for overcoming several serious health challenges with calmness and dignity. Pilarcik said, "She proved to herself and others how strong she truly is. In spite of all the health concerns, she continued to enjoy her community outings and woke every day determined to have a fun day." • Edward Magnani of Springfield, for developing a new approach to life that has him following through on medical appointments and becoming more active in community service programs. • David Ruddock of Springfield, for being willing to accept changes in his life and developing new interests. • Lisa Trapani of Dalton, for overcoming her fear of domestic animals. "Lisa has lived with the Morgan family for the past four and a half years," Pilarcik said. "When she arrived, she was deathly afraid of dogs and disliked animals. Over these years, she has gradually worked at her fears to the point that she is now able to tolerate cats, will pet dogs and has allowed a bird to perch on her finger. She even sat in a pen with a rabbit!" Other awards were also presented to community members, care providers and agency staff. The Robert V. Agoglia Community Living Award was given to: • Judy and Mark Goodwin and their children, Chelsea and Jamison, of Palmer for their care and support of Brett Thomas over 33 years. Thomas lived with the Goodwins for 17 years, and when he turned 22 several years ago, they continued to spend time with him and "include Brett as a member of their family." • Nancy Farnsworth, Educational Advocated for people, for her dedication, ideas, and "calming influence" in her work with individuals on the autism spectrum served by The Association. • Stacy and Tom Mason of Hampden, for helping those they serve feel safe and helping them deal with issues around hygiene, anger and health. The Good Friend Award was awarded to Little's Pharmacy of North Adams for stepping in to serve community members by providing medications after a long-time supplier closed without warning. The Respite Provider Recognition Award went to Cynthia Lovejoy of Springfield, a respite provider for The Association, for an ongoing positive attitude and kindness and for having a major impact on an individual she welcomed into her home during an emergency placement. The Charles E. Veith Community Service Award was given to Dr. Lisa Planeta of Mercy Medical Center, for her "unwavering support" of a community member dealing with a serious health matter in 2012 and ongoing. The Michel Reberkenny Supervisor Recognition Award, was presented to Placement Coordinator Marilyn Lysobey of Pittsfield, for her lifetime commitment to helping people with disabilities and a "can-do attitude." The Nancy E. Patridge Direct Support Professional Recognition Award went to Greta Sienkiewicz of The Association's Residential Supported Living Programs, for giving freely of her own personal time to enhance the experience of community members.
