Trudi, thanks so much for the photos! I hope you don't mind that I posted the link on the MAGTAG forum at T0mat0ville.c0m (GW won't let me spell it out), since many of the MAGTAG attendees post there. |

Trudy, I especially like photo #DSCF0048.jpg - everybody in it is related to me! That's my husband Dave and Mom-in-law Carol in the background; and my brother Greg, my Dad (Edwin or "Poppy"), and my sisters Theresa and Frances in the foreground. Do you mind if I copy that photo, fix the lighting with Photoshop, and e-mail it to all of them? I also notice that my brother Chris is ruining that nice portrait of you in #DSCF0056.jpg. Well, we can always crop him out. |

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Two military air tankers from Wyoming are in Boise to help fight wildfires in the Pacific Northwest.
The Air Expeditionary Group said Monday that two C-130's from the Wyoming Air National Guard's 153rd Airlift Wing were in place and ready to fight fires.
The planes haven't been called up to fight a particular fire but will be flown throughout the region on an as-needed basis.
Often that means heading out on missions as temperatures climb and fire activity picks up during the afternoon.
The planes are equipped with a large device called the Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System, or MAFFS. They can drop 3,000 gallons of water or fire retardant in less than five seconds.

Celebrity Fashion: Hits and Misses of the Week (PHOTOS)
Whether it was a mini dress, a gown or just a casual daytime outfit, celebrities were looking hot this week, and that means it's time for another break down of this week's fashion hits and misses.
Jennifer Lopez stunned this week in a red hot tight-fitted dress at a gala event in support of President Barack Obama while Kim Kardashian looked gorgeous in a long blue gown during a family photo shoot.
See who else stunned and who flopped in this week's hits and misses!
Never straying too far from her Sex and the City character's keen eye for fashion, Sarah Jessica Parker rocked the red carpet in a unique patterned gown with a statement necklace. Speaking of statements, Holly Madison donned a bright green gown that had a hint of old Hollywood glamour.
Some celebs on this week's miss list were Amanda Seyfried, who mixed frumpy and goth in a red pantsuit. Nicky Hilton walked the carpet in a dress that looked more like a doily than feminine lace.

Streamline Your Sampling System
Selecting the right stream selection assembly can improve performance.
More Sample Selection Content
Process engineers heavily rely on analytical instrumentation to ensure product quality. Such instrumentation plays a vital role in preventing contaminated or off-specification material from reaching the next stage of production or going out the plant gates. Catching any problems as early as possible can yield significant savings in reduced product loss and system maintenance. The efficiency and accuracy of spotting these problems principally lies in the delivery method of the sample for analysis. Sample analysis has moved from the laboratory to the field, enhancing efficiencies. To minimize system costs, many facilities use a single automated process analyzer to evaluate multiple sample streams in succession. These systems often rely on an assembly that selectively directs the sample streams to a shared passage line that leads to the analyzer.
Click Image To Enlarge |
Figure 1. Simplest Approach: Single ball valve
Stream selection assemblies must deliver a representative, uncontaminated sample from a process line to a detector in the analyzer. So, system designers should ensure that assemblies: use minimal space to automatically select a given stream, maintain the sample's integrity by avoiding cross-stream contamination and quickly purge old sample material while moving the new stream to the analyzer.
System designers can choose from various assemblies based on double-block-and-bleed (DBB) valve configurations. The most efficient are compact and offer consistent flow characteristics, fast purge times, low valve actuation pressures and enhanced safety characteristics. Other worthwhile features include visual actuation and flow-path indicators, ANSI-ISA 76.00.02 compatibility, easy maintenance and troubleshooting capacities.
Before we discuss assembly characteristics, let's examine how sample stream technology has progressed.
In the early days of analytical instrumentation design, engineers retrieved samples from process lines and brought them to the laboratory to conduct analysis. Later, analyzers were added in the field. In these systems, each process line typically led to an individual ball valve. All streams then shared a common passage to the collection device or analyzer (Figure 1).

The regatta is the second-largest rowing competition in the world with more than 7,500 athletes from around the globe competing in 55 different race events. The two-day competition attracts up to 300,000 spectators. Both the men and women will compete in the Collegiate Eight event while the men also will race in Collegiate Four. This is the largest contingent that St. Thomas ever has sent to the nation's premiere fall regatta. Last year, the men's team finished in 22nd place out of 58 universities and earned a guaranteed spot in this year's event. It was a full 15 seconds ahead of the in-town rival University of Minnesota. The women are aiming high to improve on their 44th-place finish from last year. With 20 women competing for eight slots, the expectations for the boat are high. As part of its training, the UST Crew will compete in the "Death Row" regatta Sunday, Sept. 23, in Duluth. The race is 18 miles long, starting in Superior Bay and finishing in the St. Louis River.

Nooka Asset Organizer
Alright. 1. Its hard to get in and out of your back pocket as it is silicone and will not slide on denim easily. 2. I dunno what they were thinking when they designed this because it is not wide enough to fit any american dollar bills that are folded in half. You have to fold them twice to fit. 3. My Nooka Asset organizer broke today. when i went to take my card out, the strap that goes around the wallet broke.

I've had some friends/family through the house during the building process....now that we are about to move in, am I supposed to offer a tour of the finished product? Something seems a little odd about bringing people into the private areas of the house after we move in. I had no problems doing that during construction though. What do you do or plan to do? |
Follow-Up Postings:
bumping up |
Actually there was a thread about this on the Decorating forum recently. Took me a while to find it with all the spam there - they got hit the most it seems!!! |
Here is a link that might be useful: House Tours
illini, I am going to stop giving tours in a couple of weeks prior to our moving in and during the last stage of finishing. After that, I think I will show only the public areas of the house to non-family. I am scheduled to have a ladies' meeting in September, and I know they will want the full tour, but I am not in the mood to show an unfinished (still working on decor) house. I may cancel that meeting. It is a small town and people are very curious and talky. |
If they ask, yes. Wouldn't it be strange if you have been showing someone the rooms though out construction and then not show them the finished product? Kind of like stopping the movie before it ends. |
- Posted by okpokesfan (My Page) on Sun, Jul 6, 14 at 23:26
I sure did. I was very proud. Still much undecorated and some not completely finished but I didn't care! |
we are very happy to give anybody a tour .......now and later (not complete strangers knocking on the door after we've moved in of course) our builder has given tours to several people who are considering building also (the builder owns the home at present and we'll be buying it from him when it's finished --no construction loan this way) |
Of course we will! For a limited time, I'll even allow my contractor to show the house, even though I did most of the work. What I'm pondering over is how to have a tasteful open house for friends without coming across as bragging. I can't really express how supportive our church has been during our build without getting all religious, but I would love to have a BBQ or something and invite them all. If I do it, one rule will be 'No housewarming gifts!'. Someone at church suggested we have a 'home blessing', where everyone comes out for a pot luck lunch, and the pastor offers a blessing on the home and it's family. Even in our previous houses, which weren't new, we always did a full tour the first time guests came to visit. If nothing else, you're forced to do a full clean-up once in a while! |
I will, because we have a lot of guests and I know they will ask. There are a few hidden spaces I won't show to many. I only have 1 friend who built themselves. It's been over a year, and they still have to show the house as new guests and family come. If you think about it, some folks have never seen a new custom home with all the latest trends and upgrades. |
- Posted by Bungalow14 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 7, 14 at 14:19
If a guest seems genuinely interested in walking throughout the home and asking relevant questions (about architecture, design, material types, etc), absolutely. While we are proud of and pleased with our home, we don't ever offer or suggest a tour; we aren't show-offs. |
Heck, yes! Our friends wanted to see it all, and I was happy to show them. I ADORE house tours, often I think I should become a Realtor so I can look at houses all day. :) |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Tue, Jul 8, 14 at 8:00
Love the idea of a house blessing instead of a house warming...I agree no gifts. Especially after moving SO MUCH STUFF the last thing we need or want is MORE STUFF! |
That is a tough one. I agree - no gifts and a blessing is a great idea. Friends and family - sure thing..especially those that have "followed the build". We have had several people ask if we are having a housewarming and that just feels awkward to me? Like an assumption that we have something that everyone is going to want to see? So far we haven't planned anything. I am a fairly open person (well is that a surprise if you are on a forum like GW?) but I do feel like my home is a private space for friends and family. While building we had a couple of trades ask if they could bring their spouses through as they were planning on building soon and we said sure thing - see what works and what doesn't for you. No problem. I think it is a case by case basis? Strangers walking by, umm no. New neighbors that are curious - maybe? Old neighbors (friends) that we lived by for 14+ years, yes most certainly. It is an odd thing - sort of like when you are pregnant and strangers think it's perfectly acceptable to touch your stomach - I don't think so..... I have had the dog groomer ask repeatedly when we would be in the new house and that she can't wait to see it....??? I find that very forward and kind of strange? She is a nice lady and all but not really a friend even though she has been grooming my dog for years. I thought it odd that she would assume she is expected to be invited over - she had never been over where we lived before. I have skirted that one so far. She is also quite the busy body so I really really don't think so. Good luck. I think it's pretty individual. |
I've been to several house blessings followed by a potluck. My favorite was when the priest was fully vested and sprinkled holy water everywhere. The house I grew up in was built by my dad in 1948. Any time someone visited for the first time, my mom gave them a tour, whether they asked or not, but usually they did. Probably till she sold the place in 1993. It was on a hillside and had fantastic views, which was really what made the house unique. |
- Posted by illinigirl (My Page) on Tue, Jul 8, 14 at 13:50
omg Autumn I would feel soooo awkward about the dog groomer! lol. We aren't planning any housewarming or open house but I'll have my usual friends over probably in September (I hope I'll be unpacked by then) for football. That's our usual get together at our current house. |
- Posted by illinigirl (My Page) on Tue, Jul 8, 14 at 13:54
Annie, agreed about the stuff. As this house (especially the kitchen) seems to have so much more storage/cabinets than our current house, I am very much looking forward to having a few almost empty drawers here or there. |
- Posted by Michelle1973 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 8, 14 at 15:11
Are any of you building a much larger/more expensive home than your last/current home? We are, and while I am super excited for us as we are realizing our dream, at the same time I feel a bit guilty and embarrassed when discussing it with friends and family that have modest homes. Anyone else feel this way? Maybe it's the social worker in me. :) |
- Posted by ZGAnderson (My Page) on Tue, Jul 8, 14 at 15:23
Michelle, YES. Nearly 3x what we had before. But that's been part of our plan for a long time, save with a starter home, pay down that mortgage aggressively, and then put it into the new house. I don't know about guilty or embarrassed, but there's certainly an uncomfortable feeling when it comes to some of our family/friends. I think it's really all in my head though. |
We love having our family and friends out and showing them the progress on the house. We've done pretty much all the work ourselves, so it's in this continual state of progress. I love watching our friends see it turn from stick framed to painted to having built-ins and books and decor. It's awesome! I even love showing up things like our closet or storage. I mean, these are our friends, so they've seen a lot worse than our pile of laundry or all the junk I hid in the linen closet ;) Now strangers, that might be a little different, but there's a sense of pride that comes with building your own house. I love showing it off, especially for folks who are contemplating doing the same thing :) |
- Posted by Crafty_Granny (My Page) on Tue, Jul 8, 14 at 15:56
Michelle - agree! I feel exactly the same as you. We are building our dream home after years of making due. Most of our friends don't understand since we are empty nesters. We have always dreamed of having a large enough home to have our whole family visit at the same time, grandchildren, grand dogs and all! I feel like I can't/don't want to discuss it with some friends and family for fear of being judged. When the time comes I hope they can be happy for us and accept that what is right for them is not necessarily what is right for us. |
One of our friends asked when we would have an open house. My response: "Our house is always open for you." Awnmyown, that is fantastic that you've built much of your house -- what an accomplishment! I usually feel a bit awkward saying we are "building a house" since it's more like "we are having a house built." My father worked quite a bit on the houses we had growing up, so I feel the difference; I also think dad is somewhat disappointed that he's not picking up a hammer on this one (though we'll have plenty of finishing projects). Crafty Granny, that is so wonderful that you will be able to have a home for wonderful gatherings. I bet your friends and family will be thrilled for you as long as they get an invite :-) We have an empty-nester colleague who is downsizing to a house bigger than our new house for 7 people. I think everyone just hopes that the remodel will be done soon enough that they'll host the office holiday party! |
Well, one lady who walked through my house on a "tour" asked if she could rent out the upstairs. No kidding. I said not quite yet, with a smile- full of incredulity. My neighbor told me a man in a golf cart came over and helped himself to my full cut stone this morning... and she also said folks are coming over after quitting time and trying to open the garage doors. Um... no. When I left from cleaning today, somebody else was pulling up for a tour so I will be done with tours real soon:) Update: Went over to check to see if everything was locked up, due to you know, the aforementioned situations and... there was a family parked in front of the house in a golf cart staring at the house and looking like they wanted to get in at any cost. I mean as long as it was free. They sped away when we pulled up. |
This post was edited by musicgal on Tue, Jul 8, 14 at 19:55
One of the reasons we're building is because I wanted something different than the standard new build in our area. I can't imagine NOT showing that to anyone who's interested. I've also noticed on This Old House, they always have a project wrap party, where everyone who worked on the house is invited (assuming along with their spouse) to see and celebrate the finished product. Assuming I still like all these people at the end of this, I intend to do the same. |
amberm- originally, I felt the same way as you and was very generous to show the house to anyone who was interested. Lately however, building materials have gone missing and folks have asked to rent rooms, so it is a very surreal experience right now for us. There is a real mansion going in a block away from us, so we will be old news soon, but for the time being, our place is like a metropolitan zoo. Peolple are actually bent out of shape that the doors are locked now. |
- Posted by RealHousewifeofNJ (My Page) on Thu, Jul 10, 14 at 15:53
It's been about 15 years since we custom built our home and people still ask for tours. For the most part I don't mind. I know many of our friends are simply curious about the layout and decor. When I do mind is when we are having a party and people take it upon themselves to give other guests a tour. (Yes that has happened on more than one occassion.) That I do find rude! |
musicgal, I'd feel the same way about an in-progress house. I'd rather ask people to wait for the house warming or neighbour introduction party. Most people aren't going to be able to visualize the finished product from framing and drywall. Plus, if I'm there, I'm probably busy. I'd be fine with trades bringing in people to show their work. I want them to be proud of what they do. But random curious people? No, thanks. |
Ambern, I'm planning on doing a bbq for all the workers and people who made this possible as a thank you. I'm one of those people who love to look at houses being built, but if it's further than framed, I limit my looking unless asked and I would never ask if I could rent out the upstairs LOL Sometimes you have to wonder what people are thinking! |
I agree with Michelle. My husband and I are building our dream home in a much more upscale neighborhood. We haven't even let our co-workers know of our impending build!! Jealousy is a horrible thing and I find most people are nosy/jealous of our success at a relatively young age...not genuinely interested in things like the architecture. I don't want to have to feel bad for what my husband and I work so hard for!! I'm not a fan of strangers walking through on their own during the build, and I think its a bit rude for people to ask to see the house. If I want to show you my home, you will be invited over to do so! I'm somewhat of a private person and feel that most areas of the home are a private sanctuary. |

Rotary International on Saturday launched a conference for Rotoractors in the city by organising a rubella vaccination camp.
At the camp held at Dr. MGR Janaki College for Women, around 1,000 girls were vaccinated against the viral infection. This year, Rotary International, will focus on raising awareness about rubella.
Rotary International's world president Ron D. Burton inaugurated the conference of Rotoractors which was attended by Rotarians in the city.
The theme of the conference is 'Youth for the future'. Around 25,000 Rotoractors in the 18-30 age group will participate in the two-day event which includes a number of programmes, such as mock United Nations-type assembly sessions. The youth will also listen to motivational speeches by Rotarians.
This year, Rotary International plans to hold five such conferences across the globe. The conference in the city includes a walkathon, a cycle rally and an autorickshaw exhibit rally.
The Rotoractors in the city have three aims — to eradicate polio completely from the world, raise awareness about the need to follow traffic rules and create awareness about the need to be vaccinated against rubella. The weekend programmes include awards presentation to youth icons in various fields of activity.

Douglas Adams: The Writer At the End of the Universe ? Nerdist
by Kyle Anderson on March 11, 2013
Today would have been British writer Douglas Adams? 61st birthday. He passed away in 2001, and for someone who hadn?t even lived 50 years, he surely cemented his place in the worlds of both comedy and science fiction. His hyper-intelligent yet ridiculously absurd way of looking at the world gave his writing a freshness and funkiness that few fiction writers possessed at the time, and even do now.
He has the distinction of being the only non-Python credited with written material on Monty Python?s Flying Circus, contributing a rather bloody sketch about the absurdity of medical red tape for the penultimate episode of the series, ?Party Political Broadcast.? In 1978, Adams?s radio series, The Hitchhiker?s Guide to the Galaxy, premiered on BBC Radio 4, which led, later that same year, to his writing the second serial of Doctor Who?s 16th season. Entitled ?The Pirate Planet,? the story contained the same level of humor as Hitchhikers and the same love of hard science in science fiction.
Adams was appointed script editor for the final serial of Season 16 and kept the job for the entirety of Season 17. His sensibility, coupled with star Tom Baker?s restlessness after five seasons, contributed to a distinct tonal shift in Season 17, focusing much more on humor and less on scares. Adams penned two more serials himself, both for his season as script editor. The first was ?City of Death,? which he wrote, along with producer Graham Williams from an original story by David Fisher, under the pseudonym ?David Agnew.? This featured the Doctor and Romana?s famous trip to Paris, several counterfeit copies of the Mona Lisa, and the formation of the Earth. The second, ?Shada,? fell victim to a strike and as such was never broadcast, nor even finished. The story, about the Time Lord?s prison planet, eventually became the premise for the first Dirk Gently novel.
After his work on Who, Douglas Adams adapted The Hitchhiker?s Guide to the Galaxy into a series of novels beginning in 1979. These were then turned into a six-episode television series in 1981, which still holds up to this day and has inspired countless writers the world over, myself included. The Babel Fish, Marvin the Paranoid Android, Deep Thought, the improbability drive, 42 ? all of it has become part of the nerd lexicon, and it still fascinates today. It took a very long time, four years after Adams? death, but eventually, Hitchhikers was brought to the big screen. He was posthumously credited as a producer.
The importance of Douglas Adams? work cannot be overstated. He was a mad genius who died far too soon. To paraphrase him, So long, and thanks for all the words.

Adventure Around Iceland Independently with Jdomb's Travels'
Iceland Ring Road Itinerary
This is a chance to explore the breathtakingly beautiful and natural wonders of Iceland as you journey around Iceland's Route 1. On this 9-day Iceland Ring Road itinerary you'll experience amazing scenery, active adventures, delicious Icelandic cuisine, and unique Icelandic farm stays. With your own off-road suitable rental, you'll be able to explore gems often missed on organized bus tours.
Today you'll arrive at Keflick Airport and pick up your rental car for the 1 hour drive into Reykjavik, where you'll live like a local in a comfortable apartment walking distance to all of Reykjavik's attractions.
There really is no better to discover Reykjavik than on foot. Follow this Walking Tour of Reykjavik to make sure you don't miss out on any of the charming city's sights.
See Tips for Driving Iceland's Ring Road
Meal recommendations: Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur, Tapas Barinn, Fish Market
Accommodation: Túngata 32 for 2 nights
Rental car: SADCars
Day 2 – The Golden Circle
Hit the road to take in some of Iceland's most famous sights along The Golden Circle, the 190 mile circular route from Reykjavik and back. Start out the morning by suiting up in a dry suit and snorkeling Silfra, a crack between the North American and Eurasian continents that boasts some of the clearest water in the world. After, warm up with a bowl of fish soup in the visitor center before touring Þingvellir National Park. Continue on to Geysir, which erupts at regular intervals every 6 minutes or so and admire its white column of boiling water that can reach as high as 20-30 meters. Your next stop is Gullfoss, meaning "Golden Falls", the most powerful waterfall in Europe. Complete your Golden Circle Tour with a stop at Kerið, a crater lake created from a cone volcano which erupted and emptied its magma reserve.
For the super ambitious and those that like to take advantage of the long hours of light in Iceland's summer, start the day a hike to Glymur, Iceland's highest waterfall which can only be reached on foot.
See Snorkeling Silfra: Our Coldest Adventure Yet
Meal recommendations: Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur, Tapas Barinn, Fish Market
Accommodation: Túngata 32 for 2 nights
Up and out the door early today – the drive around Iceland's Ring Road officially begins. Gas up before leaving Reykjavik behind, because the first stop isn't until Seljalandsfoss. There are many taller and more powerful waterfalls in Iceland, but the special thing about Seljalandsfoss is that you can take walk behind it! Not far from Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss spills over the cliffs of the former coastline and is another photo worthy stop. Spend a little time at Þorvaldseyri Visitor Center, at the base of Eyjafjallajökull to admire the volcano and be amazed that the Þorvaldseyri survived the 2010 eruption. Finally, a challenge awaits as you trek to the summit of Sólheimajökull Glacier.
See Glacier Hiking on Sólheimajökull Glacier
Drive Time: 2 – 3 hours depending on weather conditions
Accommodation: Volcano Hotel for 1 night (dinner is available for hotel guests)
Today's drive is a stunning one that will leave you wondering if you've landed on the moon. Vik is a small, but charming town with one of the best spots to shop for an Icelandic wool sweater (or maybe just some mittens) you're inevitably bringing home as a souvenir. Spend some time playing on the black sand beaches of Vik before continuing on. Be sure to also fill up the gas tank before leaving Vik, because the next gas station is quite a drive away. Stretch your legs and take advantage of the photo op at Foss á Síðu. Finally, you arrive at the stunning Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. If visiting May – August, take a zodiac boat tour of the lagoon. After touring the lagoon and warming up with a lunch of fish soup at the visitor center, cross the highway and enjoy climbing on the icebergs scattered on Breiðamerkursandur.
Drive Time: 4 hours
Accommodation: Hali Country Hotel for 1 night (dinner is available for hotel guests)
Day 5 – The East Coast
Today's drive is the longest stretch and East Iceland residents are few and far between. You'll want to have your camera ready though, because this stretch of wild and rugged coastline offer stunning vista after stunning vista. You'll be glad you have that SUV, perfect for off-roading to some of the colorful lighthouses dotting the coast. You might even be lucky to spot East Iceland's wild reindeer. Reyðarfjörður is one of the most populated villages with around 1,100 residents and a couple of tiny cafes to pop in for lunch.
See The Wild and Rugged East Coast
Drive Time: 6 – 10 hours depending on weather conditions
Accommodation: Vogafjós Guesthouse for 3 nights (dinner is available for hotel guests)
Day 6 – Húsavík
Húsavík is the center of whale watching in Iceland because of the number of whale species that frequent the bay. If you're visiting March – November, head out on a whale watching tour with North Sailing Húsavík. Also enjoy a visit to the Húsavík Whale Museum, where you can learn about narwhal (only found in the Arctic), Keiko, the whale from the Free Willy movies, and more. Enjoy lunch at Veitingastaðurinn Salka for a delicious meal of Arctic char and lobster sandwiches. On the way back to Vogafjós Guesthouse, stop off for photo ops at Goðafoss, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland. For the adventurous and a truly Icelandic experience, take a bath at Grjótagjá, a natural thermal spring where the locals bathe.
See What to Do in Húsavík in Winter and Bathing at Grjótagjá Thermal Spring
Meal recommendations: Veitingastaðurinn Salka, Cowshed Cafe
Accommodation: Vogafjós Guesthouse for 3 nights (dinner is available for hotel guests)
Day 7 – Exploring Mývatn
Today take a break from self-driving and let the excellent guides at Saga Travel expertly lead you to the sights of Lake Mývatn in their Super Jeeps. You'll see the pseudo craters of Skútustaðagígar, the lava fields at Dimmuborgir (where some episodes of Game of Thrones were filmed), the fumarole field Hverir, and end the tour with a relaxing soak at the Mývatn Nature Baths.
See Exploring Lake Mývatn with Saga Travel and Mývatn Nature Baths
Meal recommendations: Cowshed Cafe, Sel Hotel
Accommodation: Vogafjós Guesthouse for 3 nights (dinner is available for hotel guests)
Today is another long driving day as you travel from Mývatn back to Keflavik. Like the East Coast, you'll want to have your camera ready for more beautiful scenery and especially the friendly Icelandic horses grazing in the pastures. Soothe your tired driving bones in one of Iceland's most visited attractions, the milky waters of the Blue Lagoon. The waters are rich in minerals like silica, sulphur and blue-green algae and bathing in the Blue Lagoon is reputed for its positive effects on the skin.
See Iceland's Famous Blue Lagoon
Meal recommendations: Kaffi Duus
Drive Time: 6 – 8 hours depending on weather conditions
Accommodation: Hotel Berg for 1 night
Day 9 – The Reykjanes Peninsula and Depart
The Reykjanes Peninsula (the Steamy Peninsula) is often overlooked by visitors to Iceland. Unlike the Golden Circle, which takes a good 10 hours to drive, the Reykjanes Peninsula is small and the sights can be seen in just a few hours. It's also conveniently located to Keflavik International Airport, where you'll be departing from. Visit sights like the the picturesque Hólmsbergsviti lighthouse, Miðlína (or Lief the Lucky Bridge) that spans the Álfagjá rift valley, Sandvík the black sand beach where scenes in the Clint Eastwood films "Flags of our fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" were filmed in 2007, Iceland's oldest lighthouse Reykjanesviti, and the Gunnuhver Hot Springs.

Ten years ago, I began a trip, looking for forgotten message in bottles.
I went across my tormented seas, as a savior wishing to be saved.
As time goes by, I left this heavy cross to break free of my own bottle,
to become this guy who sees each second as a promise of a new birth.

So heres what I want to do (rss,iframes,etc)
This webpage will have navigation at the top, a list of rss feeds. Each rss feed has it's own html page or .inc page whichever I decide to use, and I want that page to show up in an Iframe, or another method similar to iframes.
How do I get it so that the URL reflects the index page with a certain rss html page shown in the iframe? I know it's possible, but is it extremely difficult? I want the users to be able to bookmark that page (or have it as a homepage) and have their chosen page load automatically.

Post by Linda Sharps Imagine, if you will, if Fifty Shades of Grey had only been available in paperback. Can you picture every single one of the hundreds of thousands of people who bought the book brazenly reading it on the bus, on the beach, and in the doctor's waiting room? Where everyone could recognize that distinctive gray tie on the cover and know that the woman they were sitting next to was likely right at that very moment reading about Christian Grey wantonly plundering young Anastasia's.

Eco-bedding company, Keetsa, scores each one of their products with a Keetsa Quotient, or a score of how environmentally-friendly they are. Take their Tea Leaf Classic mattress for instance. It scores a 67.08 out of 100—compare that to their Tea Leaf Supreme that has a 90.38! It seems that there is a trade off, however, as the less eco-conscience of the two is marketed as "Our Softest Bed". The beds are made of recycled steel, scrap memory foam bits, bamboo fabrics, unbleached natural cotton, and odor-controlling silver and green tea.

The Miami Dolphin Cheerleaders stay very busy during the NFL off season. Recently they participated in USO visits to Japan and Guantanamo Bay. Some of the Cheerleaders just returned from the Bahamas and Mexico. While not traveling around the world they stay busy around the Miami area. Last week the Miami Dolphin Cheerleaders visited Homestead Air Reserve Base, the new winter home of the Golden Knights. As you may have guessed they were at the base to jump out of airplanes with the Tandem Team. (more…)
JROTC invades the Drop Zone
The three primary missions of the Golden Knights are to perform aerial demonstrations in support of the US Army Public Relations and Recruiting, compete in national and international competitions, and to research and develop modern parachuting techniques. (more…)
"Winter Training" in the warmth of Florida
People often ask why do the Golden Knights call Winter Training, "Winter Training". Are you training in the cold? No, not really. Are you training in the snow? No thank you. So why, "Winter Training". We actually train in areas known for sunny skies and warm weather while the rest of the country is enduring frigid temperatures, sheets of ice and more snow than most cities know what to do with. Last year the Golden Knights moved from Yuma, AZ to Homestead, Fl to conduct our annual Winter Training. (more…)

There's a growing interest in the Cincinnati area and across the country in how we die, especially how the medical profession cares for elderly people in the last phase of their lives.
Too Many Pills
Elderly patients with chronic diseases or terminal conditions often have an assortment of drugs they are directed to take each day.
The "oldest old", those 85 and over, are America's fastest growing age group. The growth rate for that segment is four times that of the total population.
People with relatives in that age group or those who have reached that point themselves, may be familiar with the options for aggressive treatment modern medicine offers, options that weren't available when the previous generations of elderly approached the end.
To intervene or not
Many hear the word "hospice" and picture a place where people go to die. But hospice is not a place, it's a philosophy of caring for terminally ill patients with compassion, support and symptom management, so they may face the end of life with dignity, and in as much comfort as possible.

This year's parade theme was "The American Legion Salutes our Local Businesses" and the grand marshals were Joanna Rolek, executive director of the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Chamber of Commerce, and Deborah Haddad, president of the Chamber Board of Directors.
Lake Forest Day is the primary fundraising event for the American Legion.

Even Packers' offensive linemen get in on the act
Aaron Rodgers Day: Little kids weren't the only ones breaking out their No. 12 Packers jerseys to honor Green Bay's star quarterback on 12-12-12.
Packers offensive linemen Josh Sitton, T.J. Lang, Jeff Saturday, Marshall Newhouse and tight end Ryan Taylor showed up for Wednesday's practice wearing Rodgers jerseys. The Wisconsin Legislature had designated Dec. 12, 2012, as Aaron Rodgers Day in honor of the Super Bowl winner and last year's MVP, and students and workers throughout the state were encouraged to celebrate by wearing his jersey.
"We had some fun with it today," said Lang, possibly the ring leader for the caper. "He was a good sport about it. He just laughed. He got a kick out of it.
"We like to poke at him as much as we can — there are not very many opportunities for that, for him being as sensitive as he usually is. So we had some fun with it."
"It is a special thing," Rodgers said, "... something that will probably only happen once in my lifetime so I appreciate it."

Warriors, Knights game abandoned
Comment on this storyEast London – For the second consecutive 50-over limited-overs match played at Buffalo Park, heavy rain forced a match to be abandoned without a ball being bowled on Sunday.
The Warriors were scheduled to play the Knights, but rain since Friday morning and all through Saturday impacted on the outfield which was under a few centimetres of water in places, and forced the two umpires, Ian Howell and Allahudien Paleker to immediately abandon the match.
This is a huge disappointment to the two teams. The Warriors, who won the first game between the two sides in Kimberley earlier this month, were keen to add to their points tally, while the Knights were eager to extract some revenge for their earlier loss.
Last Friday, the Warriors' match against the Cape Cobras was also abandoned.
Each team take two points from the game. – Sapa

The biggest LiFePO4 battery I could find with a price attached is this one from
That's a 48V, 20Ah pack that sells for $429 FOB China (plus $95 shipping).
I can't vouch for the quality though -- as Red Green says "Nothing says 'poor craftsmanship' like lumpy duct tape."
Rewired this would be 12V @ 80 Ah. Similar to a Group 24 lead acid battery. Quoted weight is 20 lbs vs. 45 for a Group 24 lead acid. So you could save 25 pounds per battery.
A cheap lead acid is maybe $75 at your local big box store.
These things have a nominal cell voltage of 3.60 V, so four cells in series will give 13.4 V, a little bit above regular lead acid. Charging voltage is 4.20 V per cell, so a 12V pack would need a charging voltage of 16.8 V. Standard alternators are regulated at about 14.1 V, so it appears they couldn't charge one of these LiFePO4 batteries.
When mass production brings the prices down and provides the charging technology, LiFePO4 will probably give lead acid a run for its money. At current prices, installing them on a boat would just be another expensive hobby.

Breaking Barriers of Disability And Turning Challenges Into Opportunities
By Azera Parveen Rahman The fact that the bridge of conventional communication—words—is missing from their friendship, is hardly a barrier. Sulekha is deaf and speech impaired, while Asmita is not. But for those like Sulekha, who are the first batch of girls with disability to be a part of the KGBV and living a mainstream life, it is a whole new world. The Government gives them access to residential facilities and education along with other girls without disability; and facilitate the necessary equipment, therapy and medical help. Looking around the hostel, the dorms, the dining hall, and the classrooms where the girls study, she adds, "they could never have such facilities at home because we wouldn't be able to afford it. Here, they will get to study, always have healthy food, and mix around with others". "The girls are hard-working and have mingled well with their other classmates. I think this initiative of bringing to the mainstream children with disability who, otherwise, would be left behind, and help them achieve their dreams, will help the society develop as a whole," Kumar points out while adding that in order to help the physically challenged girls further, there is a corridor under construction which will link the KGBV straight to the school so that they do not have to walk so much. . Log on to www.unicef.in. and www.facebook.com/unicefindia to read more stories, factsheets, photoessays, infographics and videos related to children living with disabilities.

This sleeveless shift has front neckline tucks and skirt tucks and is finished with a matching belt. The pattern is #111 dress from Burda 11/2008.
I made a few bodice alterations mainly in the back to reduce ease in width and length, as I have an erect posture.
Because I was using a semi-sheer fabric, I inserted underlining, and made the lining with a neck/armhole facing.
I have posted additional notes and images on my blog

Hey, Dear Barack
I know you just a puppet but I'm giving you props
You lying to the public like it ain't nothing
And I just love it, I hope it don't stop
from Ab-Soul (Ft. Danny Brown & Jhene Aiko) – Terrorist Threats Lyrics on Genius
Barack Obama — President of the United States, is just a figurehead and is helping hide the truth from society. Even though Barack isn't in charge of all the activity behind the scenes, he is playing a part by helping to hide the truth. There is also some irony in the fact that Ab-Soul uses the word 'hope' while referencing the President, whose campaign slogan was the same.
Barrack is just a puppet (such as in a stage play) and although He's being used Ab is giving him props for his ability to deceive (and props on a stage). But puppets can't use props anyway so its useless.

'Bunheads' Star Sutton Foster on New Series and Where She Keeps Her Two Tony Awards (EXCLUSIVE)
Tonight, Broadway mega-star Sutton Foster will test the small-screen waters in the new ABC Family series Bunheads, in which she plays a Vegas showgirl who winds up running a small-town dance studio after she impulsively gets married.
It's the latest series from Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, whom Foster says wanted her for the role after she saw her Tony-winning performance in Anything Goes.
"She was in the process of writing this pilot from ABC Family," Foster, 37, revealed in an exclusive interview with Celebuzz. "We took a meeting, in New York. I'm a huge fan of her's, from Gilmore Girls. Then, about a couple weeks later, she called my agent and asked if I would read for this part. It all just came from that. It came out of nowhere, and yet, it felt like the perfect thing at the perfect time."
This is the first major television role for Foster, who has enjoyed a long career on Broadway, winning two Tony Awards along the way. Despite having only a few guest spots on shows like Law and Order: SVU and Royal Pains prior to Bunheads, Foster said she's ready to take on this brand-new career challenge.
"If this had happened maybe 10 years, I would have been petrified and not ready," she said. "But I think just where I'm at in my life, and the experiences that I've had in New York, I felt like I was ready for a new challenge; ready for a change of pace."
"I guess I had some nerves, but it wasn't, like, paralyzing fear," she continued. "It was more just, like, 'This is a little bit of unknown territory.' I felt safe in the world of Amy, and she made me feel really safe and protected, especially when we shot the pilot."
As of Monday, Foster said she had multiple episodes of the series, and cited long hours as one of the most surprising parts about transitioning from stage to television. Now that she's so busy, will she have any time to return to Broadway?
"I hope so!" she said. "Hopefully I'll have a long, fabulous career that's varied with lots of different things. [Laughs]. Everyone is like, 'Come back to Broadway!' And I'm like, "Well, I haven't been gone that long!'
"I don't think I'll be gone forever," she continued. "As an artist, we go where whatever project excites us at the moment. So, I don't think it's about leaving something for good and moving to something else. The careers that I admire are the people who do everything. And I think that would be really exciting, to be able to do theater, television -- who knows what else? I just want to keep all of my options open."
Indeed, it's hard to imagine Foster leaving bidding adieu to Broadway, a place that has showered her with great parts and a slew of awards after she took the world by storm in the 2002 smash hit Thoroughly Modern Millie, for which she received her first Tony.
And speaking of Tonys, just where does Foster -- who says she one day wants to play Mama Rose in Gypsy -- keep her trophies?
"They're both still in New York," she said. "I didn't bring them out to L.A. I have a friend staying at my apartment, so I think they're in storage. Isn't that horrible? They're wrapped in, like, protective bubble wrap right now, and they're in their own little box; the Tony box! [Laughs]".
Bunheads premieres tonight at 9/8C on ABC Family

Final Thoughts
As we draw to the conclusion of this review, we're left wondering: "Is this an Ultrabook that should be on my radar?" As always, it depends on the purchaser. I'll do my best to help you decide for yourself.
First we'll start with the bad, and then move to the good. One of the bad things about this system is its weight. It weighs in around 5 pounds, which is definitely noticeable in your backpack. If you're looking for the most lightweight convertible Ultrabook around, then this is definitely not the machine you're looking for. Part of this is due to its 1080p 15.6-inch display. You'll have to decide for yourself whether or not that is worth it to you.
Another issue I have with this machine is the use of an HDD. You've probably noticed throughout my review that I continually mentioned the fact that this system makes use of an HDD, instead of an SSD. As a person who uses SSDs exclusively, I am readily apparent of the difference that an SSD makes. Without one, the machine feels sluggish and slow; despite the use of a caching drive. However, the caching drive does allow for speedy resume from sleep operations. If they were to offer this system with an SSD, I'd be able to give it a stronger recommendation.
Now onto the good: The R7 can easily be converted into a tablet for media consumption, but also retains a full-size keyboard for content creation. The radical design of placing the touchpad above the keyboard allows access to both the keyboard, and the touchscreen. This takes some getting used to, but this is the mode I would use almost exclusively.
Furthermore, the R7 produces fairly good battery life, which is something that is important to have if you are going to be hauling your notebook around with you. The system is also quite quiet, making it a great device to have if you're sensitive to noise.
But, for $1000, I'm a bit hard-pressed to recommend this machine. As I stated above, with an SSD, I could easily recommend this machine. However, without one, the recommendation comes with some hesitance. While the design is solid (the "Ezel" hinge makes sure of that), but the system is just a bit sluggish for my taste. And speaking of sluggishness, the system also comes with a fair amount of bloatware, which could be contributing to the slow feeling.
If you were to buy this system, I would highly recommend you upgrade the HDD to an SSD immediately. This will help unleash the true potential of the system, and make sure you are not waiting on programs to open, or documents to save.

Brutal Imagination is the work of a poet at the peak of his considerable powers. Its two central sections--which could be called song cycles--confront the same subject: the black man in America.The first, which carries the book's title, deals with the vision of the black man in white imagination. Narrated largely by the black kidnapper that Susan Smith invented to cover up the killing of her two sons, the cycle displays all of Mr. Eady's range: his deft wit, inventiveness,… (plus)

Greg Anderson wrote to say that he's launched his Atomic Time Keeping podcast on the world (Onya, Greg!)
He also wondered about mp3 encoding… mono vs stereo.
Then, I heard from Jeremy James, author of the podcast novel "The Veingel".
Jeremy explained some of his workflow, and I offered some ideas on same… namely, downward expansion vs gating, broadband compression vs multiband compression, and so on.
A large part of what I had to say came back to getting as much done as possible NON-destructively in the multitrack environment.
Also, for those who are looking for a good, low-cost alternative multitrack recorder/editor, try out Reaper. It's free for non commercial use, although they would like you to pay a small donation! Check it out, nonetheless.

Kids with diabetes get sick once in a while, just like other kids. However, because the effects of illness on the body can raise or lower blood sugar levels in people with diabetes, a few extra precautions are needed to keep blood sugar levels under control.
With proper planning and some advice from your doctor, you'll be prepared to handle sick days with confidence.
When your child gets sick — whether it's a minor illness like a sore throat or cold or a bigger problem like dehydration or surgery — the body perceives the illness as stress. To relieve the stress, the body fights the illness. This process requires more energy than the body normally uses.
On one hand, this is good because it helps supply the extra fuel the body needs. On the other hand, in a person with diabetes, this can lead to high blood sugar levels. While stress tends to make blood sugar rise in people with diabetes, some illnesses cause loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting. The poor intake of food in such cases can result in low blood sugar levels in someone taking the usual doses of insulin.
In a nutshell: Blood sugar levels can be very unpredictable on sick days. Because you can't be sure exactly how the illness will affect your child's diabetes control, it's important to check your child's blood sugar levels often on sick days and adjust insulin doses as needed.
Your child's diabetes health care team will include sick-day instructions in the diabetes management plan, which might include:
In addition, kids with diabetes should get the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), which protects against some serious infections, including certain types of pneumonia, blood infections, and bacterial meningitis. Kids with diabetes should also get a flu shot every year. These vaccines may help cut down on sick days.
While your doctor will give you specific advice about what to do when your child is sick, here are some general guidelines:
Your child's diabetes management plan will include specific guidelines to help you recognize when medical help is required and recommend what actions to take and whom to call.
Generally, though, call your doctor if your child is sick and:
Whenever you have questions or concerns, check in with your doctor. Together, you can make sure that your child feels well again soon.

Leggy Peggy's Note:
I grew up across the street from a real Mama Leone—an amazing Irish woman who had an Italian husband and a live-in Italian mother-in-law who taught her to cook. This awesome recipe was a neighbourhood favourite. It has been equally popular with everyone who has ever tasted it. It is an all-purpose Italian sauce. I usually make it for spaghetti and have added optional instructions for that purpose. Without the meat, it is vegan friendly. It's also a good pizza sauce base. You can add other herbs, spices and vegetables if you like, but we have always kept it simple. That's why once it was a lifesaver for a friend who is allergic to garlic. The sauce freezes extremely well.
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 16 ounces tomato sauce (puree)
- 16 ounces tomato paste (concentrate)
- 80 ounces water (that's five cans of water from the tomato cans you've used)
- 3 teaspoons salt (the original recipe called for six, but that is way too salty these days)
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (some friends who make this insist they need to use more cinnamon. I have a very good quality cinnamo)
- 2 dried hot red chiles (you can substitute chilli flakes about 1/4 teaspoon)
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 lbs lean hamburger (optional)
- 2 medium onions, chopped (optional)
- 1Put all ingredients (except the meat and onions) in a large pot.
- 2Stir well and bring to a boil. Continue to stir occasionally until it boils, so the cinnamon is incorporated.
- 3Reduce to a simmer and cook for three to four hours. Continue to stir occasionally. You can speed up this step, if you leave it on a boil, but I think the flavour improves if it is not rushed.
- 4The sauce needs to cook until it bloops—namely until the sauce splashes out of the pot and makes a bit of a mess on the stove top (or wall in my case).
- 5Remove and discard the chillies and bay leaves.
- 6What to do next if you intend to serve this sauce over pasta. Saute the beef until it loses most of its pink colouring, then add the onions and saute until tender.
- 7Drain off any fat.
- 8Add meat mixture to cooked sauce and stir well.
- 9Heat the mixture well, then ladle over pasta.
