How to Make Peekaboo Pumpkins
Create a spooktacular vignette of peeking pumpkins using miniature gourds and a variety of inexpensive bowls and lidded dishes.
By: Layla Palmer
Materials Needed:
- 3 to 5 miniature pumpkins
- a mixture of 3 to 5 small bowls and lidded dishes
- spray primer (if any of the dishes are not black or white)
- black and/or white spray paint
- googly eyes
- craft glue
Collect Dishes
Pull together a grouping of small, inexpensive bowls or lidded dishes. Tip: Search flea markets and thrift stores for super cheap options with character.
Spray Primer
The idea is to paint all the dishes black or white, so use spray primer to coat any of the dishes that aren't either of those colors.
Once the spray primer is completely dry, use black and/or white spray paint to coat all of the primed surfaces.
Attach Eyes
Apply craft glue to the back of a pair of googly eyes (Image 1), then attach one set of googly eyes to each pumpkin (Image 2). Tip: Place the pumpkins in the dishes before you attach the eyes so you can make sure they're positioned correctly.

The scene in Hood River, Oregon when many leading ladies of SUP put their heads together to discuss major topics in SUP.
HOOD RIVER, Oregon - Recently many of the top female stand up paddlers in the world gathered together in Hood River, Oregon. They were already coming to the area to participate in the Columbia Gorge Paddle Challenge and while there decided to put their heads together and discuss some major topics specific to stand up paddleboard racing, SUP growth and how women are experiencing the sport.
More specifically, there has been a lot of talk lately about prize money inequalities for men and women, what type of boards women should be racing, what drafting rules should apply (if any at all) and how race starts are structured.
It should be noted that many of the public discussions that have taken place so far concerning the aforementioned topics have been led by men, so below are the perspectives of several women who are leading the charge as the athletes who truly deal with the issues at hand. It was their objective to discuss various experiences and work together to see what can be done to make SUP better now and for the future.
Enjoy the quotes below and gain a great perspective as the women speak out.
"The Columbia Gorge Paddle Challenge was such a great time and place for the girls to get together. Next to the BOP (Battle of the Paddle), this race has one of the deepest fields of talented women. Although there were a few key players missing, this was a solid group of passionate women. It was all too fitting being that Steve Gates (event director for the Gorge Paddle Challenge) went above and beyond to highlight the women at his event." -Candice Appleby
Participants: Women who participated in the discussion
- Andrea Moller: 2x Molokai2Oahu Champion, EMT, Mom
- Candice Appleby: 4 x BOP Champion
- Fiona Wylde: 2013 Gorge Paddle Challenge Overall Champion, SUP Fiesta Race Champion 2013
- Gillian Gibree: Waikiki Paddle Fest Champion and SUP Yoga Guru
- Jenny Kalmbach: BOP Champ, Molokai2Oahu Champion
- Judy Shasek: Founder of Elder Sup, Open Class Racer and SUP Enthusiast
- Karen Wrenn: Catalina Challenge Champion, Mom
- Lina Augaitis: Top Female Canadian Racer, 2013 Tahoe Nalu Distance Champion
- Nikki Gregg: White Water Sup Champion and SUP Fitness Guru

- Mariko Strickland: First to paddle the Peruvian Amazon and Olukai Ho'olaulea Champion
Topic 1 - Prize Money
There has been much debate over whether men and women should receive equal prize money from stand up paddle races. The amount paid has sometimes been equal, but more often than not women have received less prize money after completing the same courses under the same conditions. Some argue that prizes to men and women should be equal no matter what, while others feel that pay can not be equally distributed because more men are typically participating in events which often drive and control revenue at SUP races. However, this theory assumes that prize money is being paid out from the cash received by race entry fees, yet this is not always the case. Sometimes sponsors are the primary source of giving prize money which can drastically change theories and arguments on the topic. Another opinion suggests that money paid to winners should reflect the industry as a whole and if for example there are just as many women paddling in the world as there are men, then races should pay equal prize money to men and women.
The ideas mentioned above are just a brief sample of the opinions and ideas regarding this topic. To read more in depth opinions regarding equal prize money for men and women in SUP races click here: Opinions About SUP & Equal Gender Prize Money
Interesting Note: The opinions listed below from the elite female SUP racers regarding prize money for men and women essentially come to the same conclusion and are unified.
- "I believe that the prize money should be equal. If they want to pay deeper into the men's field, I understand but we train just as hard, pay the same expenses, race the same course, so it's not fair if we get less. I also believe prize money shouldn't come from registration fees it should come from sponsors. This is important to help build the sport and the future of SUP racing, especially for the women. More women will be interested if they feel they are treated equally." -Jenny Kalmbach, 30, Kona, HI
- "Equal prize money means equal recognition which will allow the sport to grow even more. It will motivate other women, younger girls and female beginners to participate in more events. This will benefit sponsors, events and paddlers overall." Andrea Moller, 33, Maui, HI.
- "In order for our sport to be sustainable for the female athletes that are pushing at least half the market, we need to be compensated. To say our performances hold any less value than that of our male counter parts is offensive. There are some races that have recognized the true value of the female athletes and have awarded us accordingly and there are others that still have not. We need to encourage the next generation and prove to young girls that there is just as much a future profession in SUP as there is for the young aspiring boys. We should not only be treated equally, but as though we are all unique and valuable." –Candice Appleby, 27, San Clemente, CA.
- "Prize money should be equal. When it's not equal, they're sating that women are not as important. We work just as hard and pay the same expenses. We want to be able to inspire the younger generation because that's going to determine where the sport could go." Talia Gangini DeCoite, 20, Maui, HI.
- "The same amount of prize money should be given for men and women. If there are more women, distribute the prize money deeper into the field and vice-versa, but still equal for the top places. " Fiona Wyle, 16, Hood River, OR
- "It is encouraging that even our male counter-parts support equal prize money. We are aware that more men typically enter races than women, but when you look at the competition within each gender, the depth of talent is quite similar. Thus, a dominant driving force in the SUP market is in fact women buying stand up paddle boards. Perhaps the discrepancy in race entries can be attributed to the competition branch of SUP being portrayed as a "mans world." I would love to see more companies like Olukai stepping up to fund an equal prize purse event to show the value in our participation." -Mariko Strickland Lum, 26, Kauai, HI.
- "The girls are reaching out to a bigger audience. We race the same course, often on smaller boards, so when it's not equal, it's basically saying we're not as important. Money shouldn't come from entry fees, it should come from sponsors." Sofia DeWolfe, 18. Sun Valley, ID
- "Equal prize money! Same course, same entry fee, same cost to get there. Women beat the bottom half of Elite Men and even higher a lot of the time." Karen Wrenn, 41. Portland, OR.
- "Prize money should not come from entry fees. When the prize money is less, there is less motivation. Racing the same course and training just as hard should mean equal prize money." Nikki Gregg, 38. Hood River, OR
- "I think the fairest way to handle prize money is to allot the same amount for men and women for the top 3 podium spots and then vary the depth of prize money according to the size of the field which may vary between men and women." Lina Augaitis, 32. Vancouver, BC. Canada
- "The lead/elite athletes who drive the purchasing power of a huge population of non-competing women, need to be able to earn enough money to have the cash/time to train as a professional, to lead continue to lead and inspire a population of all age women." Judy Shasek of Elder SUP, 64, Bend, OR
- "Prize Money Should be closer to the men's purse. I understand if it can't be equal-but when the men's 1st place is 5K and women's is 1k, that is not fair. Women work just as hard." Gillian Gibree
Topic 2 - Board Class
There has also been a lot of talk in the SUP racing scene about board size and what men and women should be racing. Some feel that the industry should standardize the sizes used for specific races and that the same board size should be used during both days of a 2 day event. There are advantages and disadvantages to using different board sizes and preferences can vary depending on what type of race is occurring. For example a six mile flat water course could warrant a very different board than what is used in an open ocean downwind race. Generally speaking, the longer the board, the faster it glides across the water.
Interesting Note: The elite women had a variety of opinions regarding this topic.
- "For elite races, the women should be on the same boards as the men, no matter what the race is. It doesn't matter what size; 12'6'', 14', Unlimited, as long as everybody is equal. I would also prefer to use the same board of multi-day events." -Fiona Wylde
- "There needs to be one board class per event- 12'6 for women. Most people cannot afford to ship two boards to events, and it's very confusing when the event directors change their minds on classes days before a race. Keep things simple." -Gillian Gibree
- "Each event should have its own "face"; flat water, surf, distance, short/long. This will determine the type of board that should be used. I don't mind either ways as long as it is the same (equal) for men and women. Let's allow all the board classes to grow." -Andrea Moller
- "There needs to be a standard size for races, except for specialty races. I would like to see the industry standard move to 14' for women." -Nikki Gregg
- "I honestly don't care what length women paddle but I do want it to be standardized for short course and long course races to avoid confusion, frustrations and having to travel with many different length of boards. I would prefer it to be the same board length as men as in all the local races I paddle the 14ft board in order to race equally with the men." -Lina Augaitis
- "I'd prefer to race 12'6'' over 14' but I don't really mind as long as the board size/class stays the same for both days. It's difficult to travel with multiple boards to one race. Some races like the Molokai to Oahu or Olukai and other ultra distance races will require speciality classes. " -Jenny Kalmbach
- "Put us on the same boards as the men are on at that particular race. Sometimes it will be 12'6'' and sometimes it will be 14'. This is great for the sport, for board manufacturers and to increase the athlete versatility." -Candice Appleby
- "Same board for both days. I'd prefer 12'6'' for most races with the exception of specialty races such as Olukai, M2O and other channel crossings and/or downwind events." -Sofia DeWolfe
- "Same board for the whole weekend." -Karen Wrenn
- "Course racing & flat water distance, 12'6''. Hawaii open ocean downwind, 14' or unlimited. Since the female field is relatively condensed, I like the idea of having us all paddling the same board size. For example, at the Naish Gorge race we were all on a 12'6, which made traveling logistics simple and it created equal playing fields amongst all the women." -Mariko Strickland Lum
Topic 3 - Race Start Structure
Currently many SUP races are using a combined male and female race start format. While this may work out fine in smaller races, there can be large problems that occur in major championships. Often times men who race at a more intermediate level will find themselves in the middle of an elite pack of women at the beginning of a race, but their lack of expertise (as they are "intermediate" paddlers) can result in a lot of unnecessary board bumping and collisions that may cause an elite woman to lose her entire race right from the start.
Interesting Note: All the women quoted below agree that they should have separate race starts from the men.
- "Separate races, and starts where women go first, will only encourage more female competition, which is what everyone wants. I think that the elite guys won't mind getting a chance to watch the women race and vice versa. I'm a fan just as much as competitor." –Candice Appleby
- "Women should get our own race start on course races. In distance races, women should start at least 7-10 minutes before the men, that way women aren't hindered by as many guys."- Fiona Wylde
- "Women should have a separate races, especially for course racing. If there isn't enough time for a separate race, we should definitely have our own start. For distance races we should start ahead of the men at least 5-10 minutes." -Jenny Kalmbach
- "Separate race. We need to get our own race. If not, girls should start first, at least 5-10 minutes." -Sofia DeWolfe
- "Women should have their own races in a course style and start at least 5-10 minutes ahead of the men in distance races." -Karen Wrenn
- "For course races I prefer separate races for men and women or at least staggered starts. This is for the benefit of both genders." -Mariko Strickland Lum
- "I fear that if we start separating men and women too much, the sport will start changing to "SUP men" and "SUP women", as two different events - which won't be good for anyone. I believe that men and women together give an overall power to the sport, as well as to each other. I am ok with different start times for men and women but want to keep men and women coming to the same races because at the end of the day we are stronger together." - Andrea Moller
- "I prefer a separate start from the men, but maybe even our own race. If the start is staggered we could start 5-10 minutes before the men." -Nikki Gregg
- "I think women should start at a different time then men for short course races. Especially when we are on different board lengths. We get stuck beside or close to the slower less experienced men on 14ft boards and it causes us to change course or deal with their maneuverings when we are not even in their race." -Lina Augaitis
Topic 4 - Drafting
Drafting is a technique used in various sports (such as cycling) which allows the person drafting to use less energy to maintain the same speed as the person in front of them. It takes skill to draft in stand up paddling and obviously the advantage goes to the person(s) behind the leader. The issue at hand with SUP racing is that sometimes women draft women and men draft men, but also sometimes women draft men and men draft women which can create a large variety of advantages and disadvantages. Also, when people are paddling different board sizes and draft one another there are another set of advantages and disadvantages involved. Some racers think that drafting anyone at any time is acceptable while another side feels that it should only be done with etiquette, and that it should be allowed among racers of the same gender using the same board size. Others prefer to have no drafting at all.
Interesting Note: The female elite stand up paddlers quoted here have a variety of opinions.
- "Depending on the situation in the race, men and women should be able to draft. If men and women are on the same start then I believe it is fair for women to draft men as long as everyone is doing their fair share of pulling the train." -Fiona Wylde
- "I prefer no drafting at all, but if its allowed, same gender and same board class and no bumping!" -Jenny Kalmbach
- "When there's guys in our way on a course race, trying to avoid them makes it really difficult, especially if they are a slow guy on a 14 and you're trying to pass them because you started a few minutes behind. But, if they're on the course and heading to the same mark, I say use whatever you can to your advantage (given that it is allowed)." -Candice Appleby
- "If guys are at the same time as girls, draft whoever." -Sofia DeWolfe
- "I hate drafting, period. But if it's allowed then same class, same gender." -Karen Wrenn
- "I think it is unfortunate when the racing conditions enable drafting. I can understand drafting the wake of other paddlers at the beginning of a mass downwind start, however, flat water races that create a single file line of paddlers just seems silly and counter-productive for our sport."–Mariko Strickland Lum
Topic 5 - Other Thoughts
Interesting Note: These are final comments and ideas that the elite female athletes would like to share at this time:
- "Equal and together. We want recognition not separation." -Andrea Moller
- "We don't want to be so separate from the guys, but we want our own recognition, and our own chance at a fair race." -Fiona Wylde
- "There are a ton of races out there calling themselves the world championship- when BOP is the biggest race and doesn't have that title. There needs to be an overseeing body that decides which events are part of an official tour." -Gillian Gibree
- "Were not trying to be completely segregated from the men, we enjoy the combined events, but we just want our own recognition." -Sofia DeWolfe
- "In the age divisions (open races), if they recognize the men, they must recognize the women with the same age categories. This will motivate more women to enter the event and once again, it will grow the sport and the event (and sponsors, etc.)." -Andrea Moller
- "The women in our sport are fierce, hard working and determined. We're not going anywhere and the numbers are growing. It's time that our worth is recognized." -Candice Appleby
- "Even if women don't compete for prize money, it is important to recognize broad age groups at events, so peers can feel proud. I am 64 and usually race in the 50+, the point for me is to try and do a race that elites do and have fun, but many 60+ won't enter." -Judy Shasek

New York's Suffolk County, home of the Hamptons beach towns, faces a growing financial penalty to borrow for projects such as roads, bridges and a golf course as it confronts a fiscal emergency.
The 80-mile (129-kilometer) stretch of eastern Long Island, where hedge fund billionaires John Paulson and George Soros have bought houses, is dealing with a three-year $530 million deficit. It plans to sell $60 million in tax-exempt bonds today as the extra yield that investors demand on its debt has almost doubled since December.
County Executive Steve Bellone declared a fiscal emergency in March after Suffolk's spending plan ended out of balance for the first time in two decades. It joins nearby counties Nassau and Rockland contending with fiscal stress while officials pare services and payrolls in the suburbs, which are among the nation's 20 wealthiest.
"There were decades of surpluses, and those surpluses were never sent back to the taxpayers -- they were spent," said Matt Dalton, who manages about $1 billion of munis at Belle Haven Investments Inc. in White Plains, New York. "The minute there's a deficit, it just shatters everything."
Suffolk, Nassau and Rockland had their bond ranks cut in the past six months by at least one rater and have either a negative outlook or are on review for downgrade from at least one of the credit companies. In the case of Suffolk, the reduction sapped enthusiasm for the debt from Jim Holihan at Evercore Partners in New York.
'Not Eager'
"We're just not eager investors at these levels for the county paper," said Holihan, whose company manages $3.5 billion. "Further downgrades are likely."
A December Suffolk bond sale included a 10-year portion yielding about 0.57 percentage point more than top-grade securities, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The yield penalty has averaged about 1.05 percentage points in the past two weeks, Bloomberg Valuation data show.
Even that may not be enough for investors such as Evercore. The company is looking for spreads of at least 1.2 percentage points above AAAs, Holihan said. Suffolk "probably does get worse before it gets better," he said.
The independent financial consultant for the county of 1.5 million projected adequate demand in the sale. Proceeds will pay for more than 100 projects, including work at a municipal golf course near Fire Island and improvements to buildings and roads.
Stabilizing Finances
"We expect to do well," said Richard Tortora, president of Great Neck-based Capital Markets Advisors LLC. "The county is being very proactive in taking steps to address its budget problems. A plan is afoot to stabilize the county's finances."
That plan includes cutting about 300 workers next month and collecting revenue from adding red-light cameras, said Vanessa Baird-Streeter, a spokeswoman for Bellone, a Democrat. In Rockland, officials have unsuccessfully petitioned the state Legislature to help fill a $40 million budget gap by raising taxes.
Downstate counties such as Suffolk tend to rely more than upstate counterparts on sales taxes, which are the first to falter in recessions and slow to rebound, said Mark LaVigne, deputy director of the New York State Association of Counties in Albany. The levy makes up about 44 percent of Suffolk's $2.8 billion budget for 2012, Baird-Streeter said.
State Control
Nassau lies between Suffolk and New York City, which balanced its fiscal 2013 spending plan with revenue from $7.3 billion in Wall Street firms' first-quarter profits.
Nassau has had its finances under the control of a state watchdog for 18 months. It plans to sell $220 million of notes tomorrow, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Fitch Ratings lowered Nassau's rank in December by one step to A+, fifth-highest.
Some local governments of the county of 1.3 million are also contending with fiscal strains.
Oyster Bay, on Long Island's north shore, was lowered three levels by S&P last month. Long Beach, on the southern coast, was dropped five levels to the lowest investment grade by Moody's in December. The city issued one-year securities in April yielding 2.5 percent while AAA debt yielded about 0.22 percent, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Of the New York counties circling the most-populous U.S. city, Westchester alone has three top credit grades.
The county kept that rating in part because it built up more reserves than its counterparts in the lead-up to the recession, said Dora Lee, a Moody's analyst.
Lower Costs
Investors have rewarded Westchester with lower relative borrowing costs.
Rockland, with 312,000 people, had its rating lowered last month by Moody's to one step above junk. It issued a one-year note backed by its general-obligation pledge last week to yield 3.4 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That's a higher interest rate than Westchester, across the Hudson River, paid in November for bonds maturing in 17 years, the data show.
As Nassau, Suffolk and Rockland tackle financial strains common to municipalities nationwide, they have an advantage: their relative wealth.
The New York counties are ranked eighth, 16th and 20th, respectively, in median household income among counties in the U.S., according to Census Bureau data. If not for these levels of affluence, said Naomi Richman, a managing director at Moody's, they would probably be rated lower.
Following are pending sales:
The DORMITORY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK plans to sell $1.8 billion of bonds backed by personal-income tax revenue as soon as next week, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Proceeds will refund debt. (Added June 6)
DETROIT plans to sell $575 million of debt secured by sewer revenue as soon as next week, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Proceeds will help finance upgrades to the city's wastewater treatment system, refinance debt and end swap agreements, according to offering documents. The swap termination fees total about $288 million, according to Fitch Ratings. Fitch last month cut the system's senior lien bonds to A-, seventh-highest, from A. (Added June 5)

- Re: Hugging daddy... When is it inappropriate, or ...
I think that your feelings are due to your traumatic experience. I don't think there was anything inappropriate about what you described. Sounds like they have a loving and trusting relationship. It will only confuse your daughter to tell her she can't hug her daddy anymore. As she gets older, her way of expressing affection physically will become more restrained on it's own.
01-08-2014 06:34 PM - edited 01-08-2014 06:39 PM
First off, I'm sorry that you witnessed that situation when you were a child (and that it happened at all)! Secondly, you don't want to scare your daughter or make her believe that affection to her daddy is wrong. I have three boys, and they like to sit that way on me. I don't think much about it really, but I think it definiately stems from that experience from your childhood. If it makes you feel uncomfortable though, maybe you can tell your husband about that, and when your daughter runs into the bedroom, she can jump in between the two of you instead of on top of your husband?

4 Steps to Raising a Free-Range Family
It is unlikely we will ever reach the point again where we rely on neighbors as a safety net; for most of us, reconstructing the village is an impossible task. What we can do is create a happy medium in which we give our children the respect and responsibility they are capable of and deserve, without fear of criminal punishment. MORE
Shy Children Don't Need to be Fixed
There is nothing wrong about being introverted or shy. Actually, there are a whole lot of good qualities that come with it. Dr. Sears has explained in several of his writings that introverted children are often calm, observant, and cautious. MORE

The Loud Sound of Emotion
I have a preschooler now. It really blows my mind to say that, but it's true. Gwen is 3-years old and is definitely full of "big kid" spunk, fieriness, and emotion; however, she is still learning how to control those rollercoaster emotions of hers and learning the frustrations of not having complete control over her life and world. I find myself having to give myself more and more "time outs" to breathe and regroup so as to not lose my cool. I also find myself needing some new tools in my arsenal.
Tolerating Timidity
With that first baby, 7 years ago, I worried. I worried that she would be timid her entire life. I worried that she would always be anxious. I worried that she would have a hard time making attachments to other people. I worried that she wasn't like those other, happy babies. MORE
Hitting Out of Fear
In a society where we speak out against the hitting of women, against the hitting of racial minorities, against the hitting of animals, against the hitting and bullying of anyone, there are still a large number of people who think hitting children is perfectly acceptable or even necessary. MORE

"Mild? With "Fire in the Hole hot sauce?" Guess you have a different definition of mild! I've never been able to tolerate even the mildest of the hot sauces so "mild" is one of my search words. i could use this recipe...if I replaced all of the ingredients besides the meat. disppointed."
"Great marinade! The only thing I changed was to move Step 1 to Step 3 and moved Steps 2 & 3 up one. Two to three hours to overnight seemed a long time to preheat the grill! :)"
"I just bought a small bottle of the sundried tomato & pesto combined so it made it even easier! Simply delicious. This is great when both parents work until 5pm & still want to get dinner on the table by 6! Any heart sugeon will tell you not to add salt & soon premade/processed foods will taste too salty."

Postcard from Bangkok
We find humble shophouses like Roti Mataba (136 Phra Athit Rd; 00 662 282 2119); fwap, fwap, fwap goes the lady at the grill, slapping the dough into the most unutterably delicious, flaky rotis to be stuffed with curries or slathered with condensed milk. Or renowned Thip Samai (313 Thanon Mahachai, near the wonderful Phratu Phi street food district), a vision of inferno, open burners showering the pavement with sparks. It's rammed with people scarfing pad Thai of such fresh, vivid, luxurious flavour that it makes any you've ever tried before taste almost laughable.
And there's Bo.Lan (bolan.co.th) opened by a pair of young ex-nahm chefs, a groundbreaking and beautiful place where they recreate ancient and authentic Thai recipes: they aim to be 'as Thai as we can', so no concessions to nelly Western tastes. Wow, oh wow - our heads are blown off by pheasant with green peppercorns, river fish in banana leaf with red curry and some remarkable relishes: rose apple with cashew, cured pork with coconut cream. Pork floss? Where have you been all my life? The flavours are so intense, we feel almost trippy.
Sure, we have the occasional strikeout, like when I try to track down Lao/Isaan cuisine, featuring the likes of grilled chicken, sticky rice, som tum green papaya salad and red-ant-egg dip (well, maybe not so much that last one). We wind up in Balee Laos (86/8 Soi Sukhumvit 16; 00 662 663 1051), a jungly shack where fat, middle-aged farang paw long-suffering Northern Thai girlfriends and I become entirely invisible. We don't have a great deal of luck with street food - especially a positively alarming experience we have in sleazy Patpong where the chicken looks suspiciously like rat (another Isaan specialty; no, really).
But Aw Taw Kaw market (or OrTorKor, Phaholyothin Rd) opposite the Camden Markets-on-steroids Chatuchak is a jewel. OK, it may be a little sanitised, but it's the Bangkok equivalent of Borough or Barcelona's Boqueria, where well-heeled locals shop for the finest produce. You'll find rows of ponging durians and fragrant mangoes, the freshest fish and seafood, sauces, relishes and dressings - but the restaurant stalls at the far end of the market are genuinely sensational. Fermented sausage (sai grok) that explodes on the tongue into a kaleidoscope of dancing flavours; a rainbow of curries; incendiary chilli-laced salads (larbs); soups, noodles and roasted meats; intricate, paintbox-coloured sweets. Since we've been home, my tastebuds miss this place every day. Everything here seems so... flat by comparison.
Am I now an expert on the Big Mango? Not likely. But I do realise that most of what we happily wolf down over here isn't fit to touch the hem of the humblest shophouse in the Thai capital. We simply can't replicate the almost outrageous flavours. In this steamy, frantic, uglybeautiful, often malodorous megalopolis, the people know how to live. And, woah mama, do they know how to eat.

I am redoing the master bath. Removing a large whirlpool tub. A suggested plan is to have a toilet room, double vanity and 4.8" x 4.8" shower. A small portion of the existing room will become part of the bedroom closet. Would not having a tub be a mistake????? We have two other bathrooms with tubs. |
Follow-Up Postings:
In a master bath, a tub usually will not be missed if the shower is nice shower. There will always be a small crowd that always wants a tub even if it's never used. If this remodel is for you, do what yo want. Make the house your own. If you think you'll be reselling in a few years, then contact a realtor to get a feel for your market regarding the tub. |

I agree with what Mongo said. |
I completely agree with Mongoct. I am redoing my master now, and put an air tub just for resale . |
Sounds like my master bath! We have an enormous whirlpool tub that is seldom used and in planning for a remodel I am including a tub. Our previous home did not have a tub in the master bathroom and I always missed it. In the house we are in now, I would love a tub that is reasonably sized to fill and relax in. It is personal preference of course and I think a large shower is great, but if relaxing in a tub in the privacy of your own master is something you would enjoy, I would say try and fit a tub into your new remodeled space. |

Trip insurance - necessary?
OK, so last time I went to DW I bought trip insurance. This time around I'm debating whether to do it. Here's my reasoning:
If I have to cancel within the 45 day window, I have to pay $200. Buying trip insurance would probably be about the same ($225 on my last trip). So why don't I just risk having to cancel and paying the $200? Only other cost would be airline, and through Southwest I can just use the ticket funds toward a future trip. Is there any other reason to go with trip insurance? |
47 trips to WDW and one Disney Cruise and never purchased insurance... Never saw not felt the need..
There are other companies out there who offer trip insurance for a fraction of what you pay through disney. For example, we used Allianz and paid $72 for all of our insurance, and I believe it is a lot broader than the coverage offered through disney and covers things such as flight, medical, and lost property. I didn't review the policy in absolute detail, but the agent explained a scenrio such as having a lost/stolen ipad etc., and the trip insurance was broad enough to cover something such as that. We have been with it and without it.
I've been wondering about this as well. We aren't flying so there is no airfare to worry about just the hotel package with tickets and maybe dining if we add it. So is the cancellation policy is just the loss of the $200 within the 45 day window, period? Even if it's 12-24 hours before?
Last time I went was in 2010 and they had some sort of 5 day cancellation policy. I think if you cancelled within 5 days of your trip basically you were out of luck. We actually got screwed out of over $200 because we made a last minute reservation at the end of our trip because we wanted to stay an extra day. I called the airlines first, got the rates and times to change and then called Disney to book a room for that night. Called the airline back to book the flight and found out they gave me completely wrong information and were giving me rates for that day not the next and it was going to cost more than $1500 just for the flight to stay one day more. So I called Disney within 5 minutes of making the reservation to cancel and they didn't say a word, but a month later the full room charge was on my credit card. I should have freaked out about it, but didn't. I misunderstood when she said to me "this reservation has the 5 day cancellation policy rule" when I booked it I was thinking I had 5 days to cancel and that sounded so silly. So we are thinking about insurance this time around as we have a party of 6 going and I worry about illness or something happening on the road, etc. |
One thing to consider is what if someone gets sick or there's an issue at home and you have to leave early. Insurance would pay for your lost days and also the extra expense to go home early.
We always get it
We always have gotten our trip insurance through AAA for years when we have flown and only once have had to use it, last year. Unexpected medical issues with my DS and we only lost the cost of the insurance for our party of 5 (around $200) but we got all the cost back including the tickets cost through SW (wanna get a way fares) which we would have had to use within 6 months, not book again within the time frame but use. Since you said you had SW tickets, I wasn't sure what type you had, the wanna get aways have changed from purchasing within the time frame to have to use.
We always see it as a good investment, especially when you are shelling out between 5-8 thousand dollars for a week trip. |
Ours was $81 for $3600 of coverage through Travel Guard. I'm even more insistent on insurance when we cruise - that's pretty much non-refundable and its a big chunk of change. |
Food for thought . . . .
I found out the hard way that trip insurance is non-refundable. I had a Magic Your Way package booked and then changed it to do a split stay when my son decided to join me. I'm not sure the CM handled it correctly, but she refunded my deposit from my first booking MINUS the cost of the insurance. Like I said, I'm not sure that she handled the change correctly, but I do know that I'm out the insurance money. |
We never travel without some form of travel insurance, but we NEVER buy it from Disney. It is too expensive and provides too little coverage. There are much better (less expensive, more comprehensive) sources of travel insurance out there.
It's not just trip cancellation insurance (before you leave home), but the emergency medical, trip interruption, baggage loss insurance that we are more concerned with. We've only had to make a claim once over the years. That one claim more than made up for all the other years. |
We generally buy trip insurance and have had to use it more than once. It covers all kinds of things. One trip we got stuck in Newark on our way to Florida and it covered the cost of the hotel. We never buy it from Disney and got through AAA with an independent company.
We do not buy the insurance through Disney, but we do buy trip insurance if we plan to travel through hurricane season. You just never know. There are plenty or travel insurance sites with better rates and coverage than what Disney provides.
The best quote I can find right now is $150 for our upcoming trip in February. Basically, I would only need it for trip interruption, as I can cancel for $200 if needed. I've never had lost bags or missed flights with Southwest, so I'm pretty much on the fence as to whether it's worth it. I may wait until closer to when we travel to decide, assuming it can be added nearer our travel dates. Then I can gauge the likelihood of weather problems or flu-related sickness.
We always buy medical insurance when traveling to anywhere in the US from Blue Cross. I also have trip insurance with my Visa Card. We get an annual policy, because we usually have more then one trip to the US.
And as mentioned, it's always a good idea to have trip insurance during hurricane season to cover extra expenses, hotel, etc |
Can anyone recommend me some good places to buy trip insurance? Could I still get trip insurance and order the MYW package from Disney or will I have to go to a travel agent to arrange my entire vacation?

Providence Business News Editor Mark Murphy joins Rhode Island Public Radio's Dave Fallon for a weekly business segment we're calling "The Bottom Line." Each Friday they look at business news and themes that affect local business and the public.
This week Dave and Mark talk with Discover Newport President and CEO Evan Smith. They discuss the impact same-sex marriage will have on Newport as a wedding and tourist destination and what's being done to lure this new market.
When to Listen
You can hear The Bottom Line each Friday at 5:50pm.
Rhode Island and Minnesota have become the 12th and 13th state to legalize same sex marriage. It became legal at 12:01 Thursday morning. Outside Providence City Hall was a hub of activity as gay couples sought licenses while outside, protesters on both sides of the issue picketed.
The Providence Warwick Convention and Visitors Bureau said it expects tourism and the wedding industry will get a boost from Rhode Island's new same-sex marriage law.
The Convention and Visitors Bureau has been marketing to the LGBT community for the last nine years. Kristen Adamo is the vice president for marketing, and she expects same-sex weddings will grow over time.
Across the Ocean State, same-sex couples are applying for marriage licenses and tying the knot. On Thursday Rhode Island and Minnesota became the 12th and 13th states in the country to legalize gay marriage. The bill was signed into law back in May, making Rhode Island the last state in New England to legalize gay marriage.
Same-sex couples are saying "I Do" and applying for marriage licenses across the state. Rhode Island and Minnesota are the 12th and 13th states in the country legalizing gay marriage.
Just minutes after the city clerk's office opened, employees welcomed Cranston's first same-sex couple seeking a license. "We opened at 8:30 so you're our first customer," said Cranston City Clerk Maria Wall. At 8:32 Karl Staatz and Royce Kilbourn walked into the clerk's office with hands full of paperwork ready to get a marriage license. After 21 years together, they're tying the knot next week.
As same-sex marriage becomes legal in Rhode Island Thursday, state Representative Frank Ferri and his longtime partner are among those planning to mark the day by tying the knot. It took almost 20 years to legalize same-sex marriage in the Ocean State.
Ferri and his partner, Tony Caparco, plan to marry in Warwick this evening with about 300 friends and family members on hand. House Speaker Gordon Fox will perform the ceremony. Ferri, a Warwick Democrat, says the newfound ability of gays and lesbians to marry in Rhode Island will lend special meaning to the nuptials.
Gov. Lincoln Chafee said Thursday will be a happy day in Rhode Island, now that the state's same-sex marriage law is in effect. The governor has pushed for bringing same-sex marriage to the state since taking office. He said it will help create jobs.
"I do believe that young, creative people that want to come and do business, you just want to have a welcome mat out. I do believe it's very, very important to growing the economy in Rhode Island," said Chafee.
Channing Memorial Church in Newport will hold, as they'd call it, a service of celebration for the first day of marriage equality in Rhode Island this Thursday, August 1st. The event will include music, a brief listing of same-sex couples from the past thru the present and a number of different readings, including passages from the Supreme Court's decision that struck down the Defense of Marriage Act.
The City of Providence started accepting pre-applications for same-sex marriage licenses Monday, but the throngs of people expected failed to materialize. As of midday only two gay couples had applied, according to city registrar Serena Conley.
"Well this morning we've had two couples in. They were here bright and early, 8:30 in the morning, very excited to be here," said Conley, who adds both couples were male. "They were extremely excited and very, very happy. One couple was actually grinning from ear to ear."
The Senate Judiciary Committee is slated to vote Tuesday on legislation that could legalize same-sex marriage in Rhode Island. The issue has never previously come this far in the state Senate.
The 10-member Judiciary Committee plans to vote on two separate bills. One would grant marriage rights to same-sex couples through the legislature. The other one has broader religious exemptions and would make legalizing same-sex marriage subject to a statewide vote.
Depending on what happens with the two bills, the legislation could move to the Senate floor as soon as Thursday.

Cajun Folk Songs
- Listen (1)
- Ensemble:
- Level:
Cajun Folk Songs composed by Frank Ticheli. Concert band. Suitable for advanced middle school, high school, community and college bands. Grade 3. Conductor score and set of parts. Duration 6:40. Published by Manhattan Beach Music (MH.0-931329-31-0).
Cajuns are descendants of the Acadians, a group of early French colonists who began settling in Acadia (now Nova Scotia) around 1604. In 1755 they were driven out by the British, eventually resettling in southern Louisiana. Today there are nearly a million French-speaking descendants of the Acadians living in Louisiana and parts of Texas, preserving many of the customs, traditions, stories, and songs of their ancestors. Although a rich Cajun folksong tradition exists, the music has become increasingly commercialized and Americanized throughout the twentieth century, obscuring its original simplicity and directness. In response to this trend, Alan and John Lomax traveled to southern Louisiana in 1934 to collect and record numerous Cajun folksongs in the field for the Archive of Folk Music in the Library of Congress. By doing so, they helped to preserve Cajun music in its original form as a pure and powerful expression of Louisiana French Society. "La Belle et le Capitaine" and "Belle" can both be heard in their original versions on the Lomax recordings (Swallow LP-8003-2, Swallow Records Co., Ville Platte, Louisiana). "La Belle et le Capitaine" tells the story of a young girl who feigns death to avoid being seduced by a captain. Its Dorian melody is remarkably free, shifting back and forth between duple and triple meters. In this arrangement the melody is stated three times. The third time an original countermelody is added in flutes, oboe, clarinet, and trumpet. "Belle" is about a man who goes away to Texas only to receive word of his sweetheart's illness, forcing him to return to Louisiana. Finding her unconscious upon his return, he pawns his horse to try to save her, to no avail. The folk melody is sometimes varied rhythmically, texturally, and coloristically, and an original melody (see mm. 12-21) is added for variety. In performance, be sure that the crescendo from mm. 74-82 gradually builds to fortissimo. The overall character of this version is considerably brighter and crisper than that of the original, and though the written and agogic accents are important, they should never be overstated. Clarity, transparency, and momentum are the important factors in order to preserve its dance-like effect.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is LEO!
Facts about LEO
- Breed: Boxer/German Shepherd Dog Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
LEO's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Hi my name is Leo! I am an 8 week old Boxer mix. HNH found me on the streets all alone and cold. I thank my lucky stars every day that they found me. I am very young and there first step was to nurse me back to health. I am just know learning some basic training but I am eager to please. I super duper love to give puppy kisses and to be held. I love to cuddle and snuggle. I would love a furever family that will treat me as part of their family and take me with them on family walks. Leo is currently being fostered in Torrance, CA. for an application visit our website at: www.hopenheroes.com or email: firstname.lastname@example.com. Adoption/Donation fee and home inspection required.
Other Pets at Hope n' Heroes
Why Adoption is a Great Option
LEO, a Torrance Boxer/German Shepherd Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer/German Shepherd Dog for sale in Torrance, or seeking a Boxer/German Shepherd Dog puppy from a breeder in Torrance.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Torrance already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Torrance breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer/German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with Boxer/German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Torrance paves the way for another one to be saved.

Saw these on a DIY show and am really interested in doing some in my gardens. Love the vertical garden look, especially herbs and vegetables. Unfortunately the company that makes them...they are very expensive (I think). So I am going to make my own and see if it works as well. Anyone interested in these as well?

Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.instructables.com/id/hanging-plant-pocket/
Hi I have been too...need to get some more of this recycled bottle stuff and build me some pockets and see if things do well,etc...I accidently used the other roll on an area for weed prevention...not remembering that it was the recycled bottle one. I will check out the site now. Please let me know how yours turns out. |

The Babylon project was our last best hope for peace. A self-contained world five miles long, located in neutral territory. A place of commerce and diplomacy for a quarter of a million humans and aliens. A shining beacon in space, all alone in the night. It was the dawn of the third age of mankind, the year the great war came upon us all. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2259, the name of the place is Babylon 5.

Find Your Best Temporary Walls
Posted in: UncategorizedOur main concern as MF is build temporary walls that are unique and attract more customers. Also we have tried very much to make it be simple, faster to put up and cheap in terms of its cost. We have created a way that makes our customers be able to make their own unique temporary walls for a favorable cost that will automatically get new customers. This is by mixing and matching a simple back wall exhibit to a 2- level temporary walls.
In the same way we have also designed it to enable you reuse and be able to save a lot of money. There are many reasons why you should really love our temporary walls. We have made the frames of this product to be strong and extremely durable, and are highly protected to atmospheric and chemical conditions. We guarantee our customers that you will enjoy the original parts for a period of about ten years. Also, we have designed our exhibits with matte finish that prevents scratches and dirt making your product to stay long with a new look.
Moving forward, we are keen to have noted that other exhibits constructed by other companies make customers have a difficult time while repairing. So our professionals have gone all the way to design our temporary walls in a way that it will be easy for our customers to maintain and repair. There is no single part in our two story exhibit that is made heavier than 50 kg. During the assembling of this temporary walls you don't require heavy equipment like forklifts or scaffolding.

Are we talking about with or without a jacket? What colour pants?
I purchased two made-to-order BB "suiting essential" (SE) suits in solid navy and charcoal with the Regent fit. Because of a last minute change in internship plans and a limited budget, I couldn't buy the 1818 line for suits.
I'll have enough money this winter to buy two 1818 suits, should I get solid navy and charcoal again or different colors and/or patterns? Also, will a Fitzgerald or Milano cut be timeless and appropriate for courts and law firms like the Madison or Regent fit?
Btw, I'm 1L law student in Texas building a professional wardrobe from scratch. I plan to wear these four suits (and a few more that I buy) for several years.
I don't know anything about those suits, but I'd say two things: if you're going to look professional, having skinny low-rise trousers and a short, close-fitting jacket, is not the way. So whatever suits you're buying, of course you want shape and structure, but don't get anything shiny, tight or too Ryan Gosling. Give yourself a nice manly shaped silhouette, but make sure you've room to sit, walk and generally move around with absolute freedom. You don't have to wear a sack, but you don't want to look like Justin Bieber either. Even in the gilded halls of the WAYWRN thread, there are many suits that are just too short and tight to look like proper business attire. I'm hoping the suits you have fit you well.
The second thing: as for colours, you've two great staples in a solid blue and a solid charcoal. If you can't wear them for the reasons above, then by all means go again with those two colours - the perfect universal suit options. But assuming your existing suits are fine, I'd say add a navy chalk stripe, and a lighter grey pinstripe. Very business, always stylish, and different enough from your existing options.
Cardigans and the like come from Marks and Spencer, and you'll get two or three for that.
Alternatively, ask in Streetwear and Denim. They love their knitwear.
I have never been much interested in the chance that I have been picking a bad brand of dress shirt. It wasn't until I hurt my feet and had to upgrade me shoes that I started thinking that I might also be wearing an inferior brand of dress shirt as well. I typically like to wear solid white since that color goes with everything and there is zero chance that I could be not coordinating my outfit one morning, Something that is very helpful since when I get up in the morning and go to the closet I am 95% asleep. One of the problems that I have been running into with Arrow lately is that that they wrinkle real easily while I am wearing them, id I role up a sleeve for any reason, like getting blood taken, the sleeve is all wrinkled when I put the sleeve down. Problem is that until lately I really do not know what a good quality brands of men's dress cloths are. I will need to rely on the internet for ordering since the only men's formal wear that my home town has are Joseph A. Banks, Men's Warehouse and Brooks Brothers. My town has Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack as well. I guess what I am looking for is someone to point out a good brand of dress shirt becuse I have been wearing one brand for so long I really have no idea what a quality shirt is.
