A recent poll has found that maybe money really doesn't buy happiness. People in moderate to poor Latin American countries report the highest levels of personal satisfaction, whereas the wealthy nation of Singapore is ranked the lowest.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Americas
Keywords: Latin America, happiness, ranking, Gallup poll, misery
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Affluent European nations such as Germany and France were found to be as glum as the chaotic country of Somalia. Qatar, the richest country in the world, and Japan, where people have the longest life expectancy were not on the top 10 list of happiest countries.
The poll of nearly 150,000 people around the world found that seven of the world's 10 countries with the most upbeat attitudes are in Latin America.
Questions posed by the Gallup Poll asked about 1,000 people in each of 148 countries if they were well-rested, had been treated with respect, smiled or laughed a lot, learned or did something interesting and felt feelings of enjoyment the previous day.
In Panama and Paraguay, 85 percent of those polled said yes to all five, putting those countries at the top of the list. These two countries were then closely followed by El Salvador, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Thailand, Guatemala, the Philippines, Ecuador and Costa Rica.
Guatemala, a country torn by decades of civil war followed by waves of gang-driven crimes has one of the highest homicide rates in the world. Guatemala sits just above Iraq on the United Nations' Human Development Index, a composite of life expectancy, education and per capita income - but it ranks seventh in positive emotions.
"In Guatemala, it's a culture of friendly people who are always smiling," Luz Castillo, a 30-year-old surfing instructor says. "Despite all the problems that we're facing, we're surrounded by natural beauty that lets us get away from it all."
Not surprisingly, the poll shows that prosperous nations can also be deeply unhappy ones. Poverty-stricken countries are often awash in positivity, or at least a close approximation of it.
"Happiness economics," a relatively new and controversial field seeks to improve government performance by adding people's perceptions of their satisfaction to traditional metrics such as life expectancy, per capita income and graduation rates.
As an example, the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan famously measures policies by their impact on a concept called Gross National Happiness.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, which unites 34 of the world's most advanced countries, recently created a Better Life Index allowing the public to compare countries based on quality of life in addition to material well-being.
However - there are some experts who claim that such an approach could allow governments to use positive public perceptions as an excuse to ignore problems. The Gallup poll, some say may have been skewed by a Latin American cultural proclivity to avoid negative statements regardless of how one actually feels.
At the bottom of the list are such countries as Armenia, Georgia and Lithuania, where misery is something a little more ephemeral.
"Feeling unhappy is part of the national mentality here," Agaron Adibekian, a sociologist in the Armenian capital, Yerevan says. "Armenians like being mournful; there have been so many upheavals in the nation's history. The Americans keep their smiles on and avoid sharing their problems with others. And the Armenians feel ashamed about being successful."

Andrea Fishman | November 28, 2012 | Comments
Harnessing Pinterest at its full potential will certainly have its benefits, but it'll take time to maintain and engage with users.
Is it time to give Pinterest more than a passing thought in your digital marketing plan? If volume is an indicator of opportunity, yes. According to the Experian 2012 Digital Marketer Report, Pinterest is now the third largest social networking site, with over two million active users per day.
For those less familiar, Pinterest is a "virtual pinboard" that allows users to post images from all over the web to their profiles and sort them onto boards they've created with various themes (such as Recipes, Pets, or Wedding Inspiration). Users can upload images themselves, repin items from other Pinterest users, or install the "Pin It" button in their browser to pin images from nearly any site on the web. Once an image of a product is pinned to a user's board, the pin remains linked to the website where the image - say, one of a Sony digital camera - originated. If a user finds the camera on Amazon and pins that image, the pin will send anyone who clicks on it to Amazon.
These capabilities make Pinterest a unique and versatile social networking site, but the big question for most companies is how can they benefit from it? Are there opportunities beyond pinning pictures for wedding planning and home renovation? Is it even worth the effort?
In many ways, simply including a Pinterest page in your brand's marketing plan isn't much different than supporting a basic Facebook presence, in that one can be created relatively quickly. An effective one, however, takes work. While Pinterest isn't as conversational as, say, Twitter, it is no less important to keep an eye on comments, pins, and repins. More importantly, Pinterest can give marketers new insight on how users group products - and how users see the competition. Harnessing Pinterest at its full potential will certainly have its benefits, but it'll take time to maintain and engage with users.
So who is doing it right? And how?
First up is Sony. It's not terribly hard to imagine why a company like Sony would have an attractive Pinterest presence. However, Sony excels because it chooses not to approach its Pinterest page like an online catalogue. Along with products, Sony creates boards centered on fun, lifestyle, and photography. Board themes, while not focused on products, can all be related back to Sony's brand and products. Sony also engages Pinterest users by offering exclusive sales only available through Pin Deals, which are special offers activated via repinning.
The next example deserves a tremendous amount of credit for thinking outside the box - Oreck. While you might assume that vacuum cleaners and industrial cleaning equipment wouldn't be the best industry to have a Pinterest page, you'd be wrong. Instead of having only boards full of vacuum cleaners, Oreck also made sure to have boards that weren't product-heavy - like beautiful rugs or tile layouts on its "Stunning Floors" board, or cats and dogs on its "Furry Friends" board. Boards like these are not only fun, but serve as subtle reminders that even fun or pretty things need to be cleaned or cleaned up after.
So what should you do?
Ultimately, Pinterest emphasizes the visual. Fortunately though, your brand doesn't need to be 100 percent visual or have "attractive" products in order to have an engaging Pinterest page. The phases are simple: content, cross-promotion, and engagement. Content on your page should be organized into themed, attractive boards. Board and photo names and descriptions should be customized so they are easily searchable.
The danger here tends to be over-promotion. Users don't want to visit one big advertisement; the emphasis should be on conveying your brand's personality over a list of products or services. Once the content is in place, there should be plenty of links to your website, Twitter account, and Facebook page. Finally, for maximum engagement, repin photos from other pages and respond to comments on your photos.
The potential for Pinterest commerce is real - but it will take more than a board of your top products to be a game-changer.

Measured Size: Main pot 4.75 in (12 cm) diameter and 4.25 in (11 cm)
tall. Lid / fry pan 4.25 in (11 cm) diameter flat surface / 5 in (13
cm) rim and 1.5 in (4 cm) tall.
Other details: Titanium Pot with lid that can be used as small frying
pan or bowl. 30 ounce (887 ml) capacity. Fits inside the Snow Peak
Trek 1400 (per website but not tested)
The cook set comes with three pieces. These are the main pot, a lid
that can be used as a frying pan, and a mesh storage bag.
The main pot is 4.25 in (11 cm) tall and 4.75 in (12 cm) in
diameter. It has a folded over upper lip, rounded bottom corners and
6 measurement markings indented into the side. The bottom, in the
center, has the word "titanium" stamped into it. On the side, spaced
a bit higher then center is spot welded a sleeve that allows two
handles to rotate from flat against the pot out and together to form
a handle. "Snowpeak" and their snowflake logo are stamped in the
side of the sleeve.
The lid, which can be used as a frying pan, starts with a diameter
just under that of the main pot but then flares out a bit to allow it
to set securely over the main pot when it is upside down (lid mode).
Overall it is 1.5 in (4 cm) tall. The lip of the fry pan is also
folded over providing a sturdy and rounded edge. The pan also
features a fold over handle with a clever little locking mechanism
that keeps the handle sturdy. The handle wobbles a tiny bit but is
still very secure in that it will not move more than the little
wobbles. "Snowpeak" and the snowflake are etched into the handle
while they are stamped along with the word "titanium" into the bottom
of the pan.
The mesh carrying case is black with a drawstring and barrel lock.
It is taller than the cook set requires and is a little tight around
the flared edge of the lid while putting it into the bag. It has a
little "snowpeak" and snowflake logo on the tag that is sewn into the
Though field conditions have had no noticeable effects on the
performance of the pot they are included for thoroughness. I have
used the Snow Peak Trek 900 in all seasons and in a variety of field
conditions from forest to desert to rocky canyon and snow.
Temperatures have ranged from 25 F (-4 C) to 100 F (38 C).
Occasionally, some wind was encountered but had no effect on the pot
I purchased this pot to go with my MSR PocketRocket for a very light
weight cooking set. The pot is the large enough for ultralight needs
and is also sized to fit a compressed fuel canister inside. I have
used it about 8 times in the last 2 years, the majority during the
summer but once or twice in the winter. It has found the most use
during two ultralight trips, one to the peak of "Y" mountain in
Provo, UT (elevation 8559 ft (2609 m)) and the other in slot canyon
in southern Utah. The two trips covered 16 and 12 mi (26 and 19 km),
respectively. In both cases it was the choice cooking pot due to the
light weight, small size and the simple requirements of the trip, of
only boiling water. On the two trips the pot performed flawlessly. I
feel that the ideal piece of gear is the one that does its job well
and then is not noticed the rest of the time. This was the case as
the light weight and compactness of it and the stove with canister in
one package made packing and carrying the pot very pleasant.
As for cooking uses for the pot I have used it almost entirely for
simply boiling water. I have cooked sausages on the lid / fry pan
and made some soups and stews. In the case of stews beware of hot
spots. This is both due to the nature of titanium and possibly
because I use a MSR PocketRocket that has a pretty concentrated flame.
Some things that make this pot great:
* Light weight - 6 ounces (170 g) is a great weight for ultralight
* Compact size and organization - a standard compressed fuel can fits
perfectly inside. I can fit my MSR PocketRocket inside as well if I
leave behind the PocketRocket's case. Or I keep the case and the pot
and stove fit inside the mesh carrying case and I use the space
inside for spices, hot chocolate packets, etc.
* Sturdy handles - the side handles on the main pot feel very sturdy
and stay mostly cool. The fold out handle on the lid locks into
place and also feels very sturdy even with very slight wobbles.
* Measurements - it has markings for various fluid volumes and
although they are not the most common measurement levels, they serve
as a good guide.
* The lid / skillet fits very well on top of the pot for improving
the speed and efficiency of boiling - not too tight, not too loose.
* Both the lid / fry pan and main pot have rounded corners that make
clean up easier. I usually just boil water but it is a nice feature.
* Titanium is very strong and scratch resistant. As I said I boil
mostly water so scratching is not much of a concern. Also I use
plastic (polycarbonate) utensils which makes scratching impossible
and I like the light weight of them.
<<IMAGE GOES HERE. ALT TEXT = "IMAGE 1" IMAGE CAPTION = "Halfway in
mesh bag">>Nothing major to say here but a couple small things:
* If I was really into extreme solo ultralight hiking I could get by
on something smaller and therefore lighter - I cannot afford gear for
every situation but this fit many of my needs very well.
* The mesh carrying case is taller than it has to be for the pot but
the excess space can be used for other things (like stove, lighter,
* The mesh carrying case is just a hair narrower than I would like.
A minor nuisance but a tiny bit more would make putting it back in
the case easier. See picture.
* Titanium costs more than most other materials - but then again it
sure is good stuff.
* It is very small - that's the point of the cook set but the frying
pan is small, and the pot somewhat tall and narrow - I do not plan to
use it for more than boiling water and soups as I find the cooking
surface to be pretty small.
* Neither the pot nor the lid has any ridges or texture to help keep
the pot on the stove. Not a huge deal but figured I'd mention it.
The Snow Peak Trek 900 is an extremely light, compact and well built
piece of cookware. It is rather small for a group but for 1 to 2
people who just need boiled water it does great.

I Like to Soak in an Epsom Salt Bath. My Friend Told Me This Is Bad for My Septic System. Is This True?
Question Asked by Pat'sBrat: I like to soak in an Epsom Salt bath. My friend told me this is bad for my septic system. Is this true?
I love to relax with an Epsom Salt bath, but I was told it was going to ruin my septic system! How truthful is this? Please help! Thanks!
Best answer:
Answer by Joy
I seriously doubt that you use enough epsom salts to affect the septic system negatively. Even if you took 3 baths per day , 7 days per week. A standard bathtub is about 40 gallons or more. How much epsom salts are you using? It will be pretty well diluted!
And then, when it hits your septic system, it will be diluted even more.
. . . We lived in a neighborhood where everyone had septic systems and luxurious big soaking spa jacuzzi tubs, and and I never heard of any septic system failing there. (And these people were real noobs with those, too, hahha). The only one .that I suspected had some issues. . was in the oldest house on the street – I believe their tank was too small, and the homeowner was a clean freak and had probably poured tons of bleach into it. Their septic output STANK!!! It was funny, because they were so fastidious, hahha. When the wind was right, it was rank. (I traced the odor to their output line – the septics there were "modad" systems".)
Any, relax, enjoy your bath, and tell your friend that you've "cut back" . .(on worrying, lol).

Only if your drain system has metal components. The salt will corrode them.

Heir to the Glimmering Worldby Cynthia Ozick
"Rose Meadows, the narrator of Cynthia Ozick's new book, seems at first glance like a heroine plucked from a nineteenth-century novel....Ozick, the celebrated author of essays, short stories, and novels, unpacks the histories and relationships of these characters with great energy and imagination. She has written a dark fairytale for grownups, and it reads like a haunting pleasure." Anna Godbersen, Esquire (read the entire Esquire review)
"Heir to the Glimmering World offers itself as an antidote to literature as parasitism, and its arguments are, for the most part, convincing. All the book's strands tug in some way at the knot of sources and interpretations, primariness and secondariness, that constitutes both its substance and its form." Ruth Franklin, The New Republic (read the entire New Republic review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In Heir to the Glimmering World, Cynthia Ozick pays homage to the most beloved writers of the nineteenth century — Charles Dickens, the Brontes, George Eliot — in a story set on the outskirts of the Bronx in the 1930s. Here lives the oversized Mitwisser clan, German refugees who survive at the whim of their vagabond benefactor, James A'bair. James is heir to the fortune amassed by his father, the author of a wildly popular series of children's books called The Bear Boy. Wayward, feckless, with money to burn, James has taken up the eccentric Mitwissers — scholarly patriarch, invalid wife, and five scrappy children — as his latest caprice.
Into this chaotic household enters Rose Meadows, orphaned at age eighteen. Rosie quickly becomes indispensable as assistant to Professor Mitwisser in his research on an arcane Jewish sect and then, inevitably, as general nursemaid, nanny, and companion to the entire family. Her sole inheritance is a book: the first title in the Bear Boy series. When the actual Bear Boy appears on the Mitwisser doorstep, Rosie must resist the pull of his reckless orbit as she pursues her own desires.
Heir to the Glimmering World is a delight to read, a novel of great character, wit, and style. It lovingly evokes Depression-era New York from the perspective of perpetual outsiders, brought together by coincidence and fate. The hard times they inherit still hold glimmers of past wonders and future dreams.
"Ozick's previous novel, The Puttermesser Papers, revolved around one quirky hero; this time around, Ozick incubates several. Characters, not plot, drive this Depression-era tale, and Ozick eviscerates each one through her narrator, Rose Meadows, a resolute 18-year-old orphan. Virtually abandoned, Rose wanders into a job with the Mitwisser family, German refugees in New York City. Filling gaping holes in their household, she becomes a research assistant to the father, a professor stubbornly engaged in German and Hebrew arcana; a nurse to his oft-deranged, sequestered wife; and nanny to their five children. As she penetrates the fog surrounding their history, Rose limns their roiling inner lives with exasperated perception. Mrs. Mitwisser especially chafes against the family's precarious, degrading status as 'parasites,' erratically supported by the unbalanced millionaire son and heir of an author of popular children's books who is fascinated by Mr. Mitwisser's research. With her trademark lyrical prose, gentle humor and vivid imagery, Ozick paints a textured portrait of outsiders rendered powerless, retreating into tightly coiled existences of scholarly rapture, guarded brazenness and even calculated lunacy — all as a means of refuting the bleakness of a harsh, chaotic world. Erudite exposition is packed into the book, so that character study and discourse occasionally grind the plot to a halt. Edifying and evocative, if often daunting, this is a concentrated slice of eccentric life. Agent, Melanie Jackson. (Sept. 1) Forecast: This is Ozick's first book for Houghton Mifflin, and the publisher is backing it with a seven-city author tour. Despite its rigors, it may be an easier sell than The Puttermesser Papers; the family drama makes it more accessible. Foreign rights sold in Brazil, France, Italy, Norway and Spain. " Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"[A] fairy tale with locked rooms, mad songs, secret books and stolen babies....Think of Glimmering as a Turn of the Screw in which the ghosts are from the dreadful future....[A] brilliant apostrophe to shattered worlds." John Leonard, The New York Times Book Review
"Ozick sets in motion a kaleidoscopic array of complex entanglements in her much anticipated new novel, a work of scintillating intelligence and supple imagination that...draws on sacred and literary traditions to create a tale at once compassionate and brightly satirical, otherworldly and down to earth." Booklist
"This witty book will appeal to admirers of the fanciful tales in Ozick's Puttermesser Papers and to readers seeking well-written novels with intellectual depth." Library Journal
Ozick pays homage to the most beloved writers of the 19th century — Charles Dickens, the Brontes, George Eliot — in a story set on the outskirts of the Bronx in the 1930s.
Cynthia Ozick has been known for decades as one of America's most gifted and extraordinary storytellers; her remarkable new novel has established her as one of the most entertaining as well.
Set in the New York of the 1930s, Heir to the Glimmering World is a spellbinding, richly plotted novel brimming with intriguing characters. Orphaned at eighteen, with few possessions, Rose Meadows finds steady employment with the Mitwisser clan. Recently arrived from Berlin, the Mitwissers rely on the auspices of a generous benefactor, James A'Bair, the discontented heir to a fortune his father, a famous childen's author, made from a series of books called The Bear Boy. Against the vivid backdrop of a world in tumult, Rose learns the refugee family's secrets as she watches their fortunes rise and fall in Ozick's wholly engrossing novel.
Cynthia Ozick is an American master at the height of her powers in Heir to the Glimmering World, a grand romantic novel of desire, fame, fanaticism, and unimaginable reversals of fortune. Ozick takes us to the outskirts of the Bronx in the 1930s, as New York fills with Europes ousted dreamers, turned overnight into refugees.
Rose Meadows unknowingly enters this world when she answers an ambiguous want ad for an "assistant" to a Herr Mitwisser, the patriarch of a large, chaotic household. Rosie, orphaned at eighteen, has been living with her distant relative Bertram, who sparks her first erotic desires. But just as he begins to return her affection, his lover, a radical socialist named Ninel (Lenin spelled backward), turns her out.
And so Rosie takes refuge from love among refugees of world upheaval. Cast out from Berlins elite, the Mitwissers live at the whim of a mysterious benefactor, James A'Bair. Professor Mitwisser is a terrifying figure, obsessed with his arcane research. His distraught wife, Elsa, once a prominent physicist, is becoming unhinged. Their willful sixteen-year-old daughter runs the household: the exquisite, enigmatic Anneliese. Rosie's place here is uncertain, and she finds her fate hanging on the arrival of James. Inspired by the real Christopher Robin, James is the Bear Boy, the son of a famous children's author who recreated James as the fanciful subject of his books. Also a kind of refugee, James runs from his own fame, a boy adored by the world but grown into a bitter man. It is Annelieses fierce longing that draws James back to this troubled house, and it is Rosie who must help them all resist Jamess reckless orbit.
Ozick lovingly evokes these perpetual outsiders thrown together by surprising chance. The hard times they inherit still hold glimmers of past hopes and future dreams. Heir to the Glimmering World is a generous delight.

Halloween Skeleton
I made this macrame skeleton a gazillion years ago. I just "found" him in a box I pulled out of storage. And he is now proudly hanging on my front door.
I DO NOT HAVE DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE HIM. It was macrame. Thick nylon cord, a large metal ring for the head, a dowel and some large wooden beads for shoulders, a popsicle stick and large wooden beads for the pelvis, and lots of creative knotting and braiding. I could post more close up pictures of each body part if people wanted to attempt this on their own. But it's been so long since I've done macrame, I don't think I could even tie a square knot any more.
The pattern is in a booklet called 'Macrame Guys and Gals', I think it's book 2, but I found this on Flickr- With the above good photos and this page of instructions, someone should be able to make one.
Here is a link that might be useful: Instructions here
I posted that link almost a year ago, the photo wasn't private at that time. The pattern is called Wishbone Jones and it is in book #2, Macrame Guys and Gals. You can find the book on Amazon, Ebay and Etsy, off and on.
I've seen macrame cord in a few stores, in limited colors. I'm sure you could find it on the internet easily enough.
This post was edited by FlamingO_in_AR on Sun, Sep 22, 13 at 10:53
He's very cute!! I had to quit making knots as I started getting chest pains!! I did a curtain I guess you could call it for my kitchen window & that was a lot of work. I think it was 72 inches wide. I made several Christmas trees about 15 in. long I think, they were so cute, had red wooden beads on the rows. Dowel at bottom & cords were the trunk!
I made one about that many years ago too, pixie lou. LOL
And the very first night I hung it on my porch it was stolen. It is a lot of work, so I never made another one. I made 2 lions, giraffe, pig, sheep, turtle, and lots of owls.
I really enjoyed macrame, and sold lots of hanging tables and plant hangers.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Volunteer crunch hurting PCs?
Walkout may be putting damper on Pallister's Blue Blitz initiative
As Manitoba's new Opposition leader, Brian Pallister has an aggressive battle plan to attract new supporters and re-engage Progressive Conservatives turned off by last year's election loss.
But a walkout by some longtime supporters has raised questions about whether the party has enough volunteers to pull it off.
The Tories launched an internal project called the Blue Blitz in September, five weeks after Pallister won the party leadership unopposed. The aim was to have volunteers drop pamphlets in every mailbox in 20 constituencies, 19 of which are currently held by the NDP and Liberals, according to an email obtained by The Canadian Press.
"These are all key seats that the PC party needs to win in the next election -- and it's never too early to start defining our party and core values," reads the email sent by Lauren Stone, a Tory researcher, to caucus members and volunteers.
"We would like to have as many as possible done before the (annual general meeting) in October."
The targeted NDP ridings include many in suburban Winnipeg that used to vote Tory, as well as Brandon East and Interlake, which are longtime NDP strongholds.
So far, only seven constituencies have been blitzed, Pallister said, and any delay has been due to the weather.
"Unfortunately, winter came early. No, we're not behind schedule but we are developing and refining a schedule to begin in the spring and we will be going hard in the spring," Pallister said in an interview Thursday.
However, two party sources say members at the party's annual general meeting were told the blitz was to continue into December, but there was a shortage of volunteers. The meeting was closed to the media.
"The report that was given at the AGM was that it had fallen abysmally below target," said one veteran party volunteer.
"There's no other way to sugar-coat it. They did not have enough people to do it."
The Tories have been trying to rebuild since the party failed to win any extra seats in the 2011 election. It captured 44 per cent of the popular vote, but low support in Winnipeg meant it got just 19 of the 57 legislature seats.
The loss prompted the resignation of then-leader Hugh McFadyen and angered some grassroots members who felt the party had ignored their input. Many were shocked when the party veered left on its fiscal platform and said a Tory government would run deficits until 2018.
Last June, as it became clear to Pallister that he would win the party leadership unopposed, he invited a dozen party members to a meeting in Portage la Prairie to be interviewed for staff jobs.
What happened next, say two sources who were in the room, was something akin to a television reality show. The names of people in the room were put into a hat. As their names were drawn, they were assigned a constituency held by the NDP or Liberals, and told to sell memberships in that area as part of a contest to see who could sell the most.
"I thought it was completely disrespectful," one volunteer said.
The sources said -- and Pallister confirmed -- people who didn't like the contest were told they could leave. About half of them walked out.
"I basically have to have people who are willing to do the work -- not talk about doing the work, not get others to do the work -- they have to be willing to do the actual work," Pallister said.
"For those who chose to walk out, it's their choice. And of course, they're welcome back any time. They won't be in senior roles or leadership roles unless and until they demonstrate that they're willing to do the work necessary to grow this party."
Shortly after Pallister became leader, he shuffled every one of his caucus members' critic responsibilities. The move was meant to broaden each member's skill set, he said, and to help rural members understand urban issues and vice-versa.
Pallister admits to demanding hard work from fellow Tories.
"Sometimes I drive people too hard and, you know, I have to apologize for that. But the reality is, I ask a lot of myself, and I expect a lot from the people I work with, too."
Pallister has set out an ambitious strategy to try to unseat the New Democrats, who have been in power since 1999. His predecessors, McFadyen and Stuart Murray, failed to put a dent in the NDP's solid majority.
The former provincial cabinet minister and member of Parliament has assigned every caucus member one constituency to target as part of the Blue Blitz.
He has also sent out questionnaires to party members, asking them for ideas on how to improve the party's organization and policy-making. Pallister and others are also touring the province and holding meetings to develop new policies. He feels allowing members to shape the party will get them engaged and motivated well in advance of the next election, expected in 2016.
"The problem has been, I think in part, that we engage a little late... which makes it harder to get your new ideas out there and get people the time they need to discuss them, embrace them and feel like they're their ideas."

plants going to 'bed' early
finchelover(5b-6)August 21, 2011
Lot of my plants came up late & bloomed late and now they all look as if they are finished for the season. My salvia,obedient plants are about the only thing in bloom with a few roses. Anyone else going thru this. We have had a lot of rain.
linda_schreiber(z5/6 MI)
I'm seeing some of the same thing with some plants. We seem to have had July in June, August in July, and now, come mid-August, the weather seems to be Sept. Nights in the low 60s, even high 50s. Daytime highs in the upper 70s, low-80s. I truly love this.... But...
It's only an uneducated *wild guess*, but some plants are more temp-dependent, especially nighttime lows, than they are day-length dependent.
Are they thinking that October is around the corner? Don't know. Could be.

I wish to make the headphone volume on my Galaxy S4 louder but can't find the file to update it.
My phone isn't rooted but I haven't seen anywhere that it has to be rooted before you can find/access the file.
Any help at all?

About this location
The Balearic Islands region
The neighbourhood is famous as it is the eldest neighbourhood in Palma. Recently, some of the houses have been restored in a Mallorquin way and thus this has added beauty to this part of Palma, which has gained a special identity of its own.
It is less than 5 minutes walking distance of Palma's shopping and administrative centre.
Palma de Mallorca
All tourist attractions are in easy reach – the cathedral is only 5 minutes walk from the apartment as is the parliament and house of government. The lovely sandy Palma beach is only a 7 minute walk from the apartment.
This makes the apartment the perfect place for a combined city break and beach holiday. The restaurants and bars are also within easy reach. A public covered swimming pool is just by the apartment.

"Nice, cozy place in the old part of town"
I can recommend this place for people who like to avoid the tourist crowds and live like a local in Palma. The owner is professional, helpful and kind and responded quickly over mail. When we arrived we were welcomed by the owner and introduced to the apartment and to the neighbourhood which was great.
The old neighbourhood where the apartment is situated is cozy with great tapas bars and cafes right around the corner in every direction. There's an old church right across the square which there is nice view over from the little balcony. No pools, screaming children or hotel tourist noise. Cars cross the squre now and then during the late and early hours so you might bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. But other than that it's super quiet.
The apartment is nice and basic with a fully functional kitchen for dinner cooking etc. Nice big bathroom and 2 bedrooms.
The best thing about this place was that we could walk to everywhere within 10-15 mins. The big train station is 10 min away and leads to everywhere on the island via trains and busses.

Bob Ross
Annem194December 22, 2001
I will like to know if someone have try the Bob Ross workshop video tape and if it is easy to learn.
I would like to hear your comments.
Thank you.
I've never tried Bob Ross but last year I discovered Frank Clarke at http://www.simplypainting.com/htms/lessons/lessons.htm
I've done decorative painting for a lot of years but never attempted a landscape until I found this site because I didn't know where to begin. His free web lessons are very well done. In fact I didn't even paint one of his on-line lessons the first time 'round. Instead, using his instruction I did a seascape complete with a lighthouse and was very pleased with the result.
