I love this soup, and this is the perfect time of year to make it with summer corn at it's sweetest! The temperatures we were having last week were in the high nineties and soup was the last thing on my mind. But finally we are back in the eighties, and a bowl of soup is always comforting to me.
Inspired from a Colombian soup called Crema De Mazorca from the Andean region of Colombia, this soup is sweet and creamy, made with fresh summer corn. I didn't use any cream, instead it's simmered in low fat milk and thickened with a potato, once pureed it's thick and velvety. Then I finished it with some crumbled queso fresco and fresh cilantro with gives it that sweet-savory finish that we love in my home!
If you can't find queso fresco in your area, try another salty cheese like cotija, ricotta salata or a mild feta.
Sure, you could probably make this from frozen corn, but I don't think it would taste nearly as good so for best results, make this with fresh corn while it's in season. This is a great meatless soup, perfect for vegetarians and it also happens to be gluten free!
Creamy Corn Soup with Queso Fresco and Cilantro
Servings: 6 • Size: about 1 1/4 cups • Old Points: 5 pts • Weight Watcher Points+: 7 pt
Calories: 257 • Fat: 8 g • Carb: 36 g • Fiber: 3 g • Protein: 14 g • Sugar: 14 g
Sodium: 474 mg • Cholest: 22 mg
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/3 cup chopped scallions
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 3 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels, cut from the cob (from 5-6 medium)
- 1 (6 oz) russet potato, peeled and diced
- 5 cups 1% milk
- 1 chicken bouillon cube (or Vegetable Better than Bouillon)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided
- 1/4 cup reduced fat sour cream
- salt and fresh pepper, to taste
- 3 oz (6 tbsp) crumbled queso fresco (or cotija cheese)
Heat a medium heavy pot or Dutch oven on medium heat. Add oil and sauté scallions and garlic for 1 minute. Add the corn, potatoes, milk, bouillon, and 1 tablespoon of cilantro in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for approximately 30 to 35 minutes or until the corn is tender, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and reserve 6 tablespoons of the corn kernels for topping. Add sour cream to the soup and purée in the blender in two batches, careful not to burn yourself; return to the pot.
Adjust salt and pepper, to taste and heat over low heat 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour into 6 bowls and garnish each bowl with 1 tablespoon each of corn kernels and cheese. Top with fresh cilantro.
Makes 7 1/2 cups.

This topic could get very dark for some regarding our pets during an actual Zombie Apocalypse. I advise some not to read it.
The non dark part:
I wanted to start off with the fact that a huge majority of humanity has some kind of pet. Dog, Cat, hamster, fish. Whatever it may be. Now, I'm not going to focus on the lesser pets such as hamsters or fish or what can be considered the less noise producing pets.
Instead, this is going to focus on the louder pets such as dogs, cats.
From what is known, when it comes down to a ZA one of the survival aspects is to draw as little attention to yourself as possible. Which means you should not make noise as we all know that Zombies will follow a noise for miles out of instinct. (note the horde following the train in ep4)
With that in mind I have no doubt that a lot of the louder pets, mainly dogs and cats would attract a LOT of attention!
While cats can run they can't defend themselves. They can try by hissing, or scratching or biting.. But that wouldn't deter a hungry Zombie so the cat just became dinner. In a family atmosphere they can be relatively quiet they still will be a drain on resources over time. Like many animals it doesn't take long for a house cat to become a feral cat when they are pushed into it. Some cats do like to meow or cry now and then so those types are dangerous to have around in the ZA.
These animals are the louder yet more protective of the two. Dogs in a protective mode against a human can overcome most and get away or hurt their attacker enough to deter them. Unfortunately a Zombie does not have the same fight or flight triggers as a normal human being. So while the dog may attack it will be putting itself in danger to being killed and eaten since the dog can't do enough damage to a Zombie to deter it from it's meal. In my opinion, dogs are the first species to be killed off.
So here we are in the Dark part:
You have a dog or a cat that make a lot of noise. It could easily encourage a Zombie horde to you and your family by barking or chasing after them and then running back to the home leading them to your family.
What is done with the pets we love? Do you kill them off in the beginning if they get loud or do you just let them bark and give away your position. Granted a lot of pets can be trained to not bark or make noise but a good portion of them are not so well trained.
I have to admit that I have a very loud dog. She just doesn't listen when she is told to be quiet. A person can walk down the street and she is barking at them. She barks at everything even if there is nothing to bark at. I have to admit here and now and say that my beloved pet would have to be killed in order to protect my family for either to prevent them from attracting Zombies to my home or to provide as an emergency food source for my family.
So there en-lies the question. What do you do with your loud pets? Do you kill them off, do you spare them, do you eat them, what do you do when your family is in danger due to the pet simply giving away your position?

Special Olympics has been awarded a grant from USAID to promote equality of people with intellectual disabilities in Serbia and Montenegro
Learn more about USAID in Serbia here
WASHINGTON, D.C. – 8 August 2012 - Special Olympics has been awarded an 18-month grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to launch a series of capacity-building seminars in Serbia and Montenegro. The seminars will educate communities about the capacities of people with intellectual disabilities and identify innovative ways to encourage their inclusion, particularly among youth. USAID has made these funds available to increase the participation of people with disabilities in USAID activities and strengthen the capacities of Disabled People's Organizations (DPOs). "Special Olympics is privileged to receive USAID funding to enhance our local programs in Serbia and Montenegro so our message of dignity and respect for all people is embraced," said Dr. John Dow, Chief of Regional Growth, Special Olympics.Twelve Serbian and five Montenegrin communities will take part in the capacity-building seminars which will include classroom and practical sessions. The program will involve 340 participants from local governments, schools and youth activities, as well as people with intellectual disabilities and their families. The seminars will promote equality for people with intellectual disabilities, highlight the importance of democratic principles, endorse gender diversity, and encourage active citizenship. Two Special Olympics Unified Sports® teams will also be formed during each seminar. The teams, featuring people with and without intellectual disabilities playing as equals on the same team to foster social inclusion, will compete in local, regional and national competitions. A total of 34 Unified Sports teams will be formed involving 170 youths with intellectual disabilities and 170 of their non-disabled peers.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) works in more than 100 countries around the world to further America's foreign policy interests to expand democracy and free markets while extending a helping hand to people struggling to make a better life, recovering from a disaster, or striving to live in a free and democratic country. USAID promotes broadly shared economic prosperity, democracy and good governance, human rights, global health, food security and agriculture, environmental sustainability, and education. It helps societies prevent and recover from conflicts and provides humanitarian assistance following natural and man-made disasters.
Special Olympics is an international organization that changes lives through the power of sports by empowering people with intellectual disabilities, promoting acceptance for all, and fostering communities of understanding and respect worldwide. Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the Special Olympics movement has grown from a few hundred athletes to more than 4 million athletes in 170 countries worldwide, providing year-round sports training, athletic competition and related programs.

String lights are not just for Christmas decorating. They create perfect mood lighting for outdoor summer parties. They can also work well in everyday interiors. What about accenting a floor mirror with string lights?
Don't have recessed lighting in your dining room? Hanging string lights from the ceiling can add a touch of whimsy to the space.
The lights in the image featured above remind me of a summer block party. They are playful and welcome guests into the urban home.
The lantern shown above could be an easy DIY project. Simply find a vintage lantern, purchase a box of string lights, and use the lights to light the lantern. Super simple, but very creative!
Letting the lights hang straight from the ceiling could be used to create a barrier between spaces or be used to accent a certain wall.
A dreamy kid's bedroom! If you are very creative, you can try your hand at creating a design out of the lights.
The more common solution: string lights are great for outdoor summer parties. Drape the lights over the pool or a seating area. When the sun goes down the mood turns romantic.
Below are a few options for Lamps Plus string lights.
Old Fashioned Metal Moon Lantern Party String Lights
White Paper Lantern String Party Lights
Lotus Flower 10-Light String Lights
Solar 23 Foot Long LED White Rope Lights
Can you add any ideas for creative string lighting solutions?

Found on the HGTV website, 10 divine design bedrooms from designer Candice Olson with amazing before and after transformation photos.
As always, her blending of ceiling lighting, decorative table lamps and seating is wonderfully elegant.
You might even find some Candice Olson lighting lurking in a few of the shots!

Designer Candice Olson tackles a bland master bedroom in this Minneapolis Star Tribune article.
The room is in a renovated 1926 home. For the wall color, Candice went with a creamy white and a darker blue grey, colors that play well with the dark hardwood flooring.
A subtle world-traveler theme prevails, with a zebra-striped rug on the floor an exotic tropical ceiling fan overhead, and other tropical home decor accents.
Above is a close match for the zebra rug from our rug collection.
The ceiling fan is pretty blurry! After squinting at it for a bit, I think this fan model is a good match for it: the Casa Vieja Rattan Ceiling Fan.
I also love the typographical lettering on the wall over the bed. For more typographic decor, see my recent post.

Floral designers never fail to inspire me. They leave the basic vases behind and opt for interesting and unique ways to display flowers. It is common to find elaborate flower arrangements at weddings, but why not incorporate the same beautiful arrangements into your everyday decor?
This year my goal is to purchase flowers weekly and bring plant life into my indoor living space.
The purple, pink, and white tulip arrangement (above) is a nice accent to traditional or contemporary interiors. The soft colors would also blend in well with neutral furniture pieces.
If your style is more eclectic and you are up for a DIY project, the bold arrangement featured above would be a great choice. I have never seen a vase wrapped in belts before. It is certain to be a conversation starter at your next party.
For something a little sexier, the sequin covered vase adds that extra bit of glam. I envision the chic and feminine flower arrangement in a woman's version of a bachelor pad.
White flowers are classic and never go out of style. Orchids are one of my favorite types of flowers. If your home's decor features Japanese inspired furnishings, the orchid arrangement would be a nice compliment. Orchids also transition well into more modern homes as well.
The floral arrangement featured above is not your traditional bouquet of roses. The pink roses are a great color for Spring and the newspaper wrapped vase adds a craft element. If your home features hand knitted blankets and textiles, the arrangement could be an extension of your existing handmade style of decor.
If shopping for fresh flowers is not in the budget, check out the Lamps Plus faux floral products.

Large industrial size pendant light fixtures were normally reserved for restaurants...until now. In the last year or so, I have seen a trend toward incorporating industrial lighting into the home. The scale of the hanging pendant lights is generally larger; therefore, it becomes more of a statement piece and adds drama to the kitchen or another room. I am especially seeing the industrial hanging pendant lights replacing the mini pendant lights over the kitchen island.
The hanging pendant lights in the photo above are great if you want to incorporate the industrial look, but want a smaller scale hanging light. The lights can work well in both modern and more traditional spaces.
Below are a few of my favorite industrial hanging pendant lights.
I like that this industrial chic pendant light has a touch of rustic charm. The look is no-nonsense and has modern clean lines.
This elegant mini pendant chandelier gives a nod to the past with its metal shade it adds a classic Americana styling with a nostalgic flair.
This adjustable rail light has swiveling heads which focus the light in multiple directions. It can be mounted on either the wall or ceiling. With its classic industrial form and polished nickel finish, this rail light offers style and flexibility.

Do dimmers really save on energy use?
Key to answering this question is understanding how dimmers really work.
Many consumers, and even a few electricians, think that dimmers work by converting unused electricity to heat at the dimmer switch.
It's true that many old rotary dimmers worked this way; they were rheostats that took the excess energy when dimmed and converted it to heat.
Today's dimmers use a "Triac Switch". When dimmed, these switches cut the flow of power to a light fixture up to 120 times a second.
While the circuit is switched on and off many times a second, the human eye and brain doesn't register this flickering. What we see is a constant light output.
And dimmers do save. Dimming your lights an average of 50 percent can cut your electric use a whopping 40 percent over time and make your bulbs last 20 times longer!
Designer Candice Olson creates a divine design bedroom space for a couple of world travelling newlyweds. As usual, the result is sophisticated and elegant.
I particularly like the use of crystal in the space to add sparkle. The wooden mantel is accented with crystal sconces, while a vintage looking (but new) crystal chandelier shines above.
The chandelier is, writes Candice, "...in a style in keeping with the vintage flavor of the house, but in polished chrome to add modern flair."
A Candice Olson table lamp and carefully placed recessed lights complete the look.

Too often people treat their treasured collection of favorite books as a decorating nuisance, but with the right spirit and eye they can become an asset to any room -- one that lends individuality and personality.
Take this high style interior (above) with its selection of leather-bound volumes arranged in a Chinese-influenced étagère. It blends perfectly with the chinois chest, the vintage Danish modern chair and table, and a Hoffman sofa from turn-of-the-century Vienna. What ties them all together is the vintage Deco lamp on the chest, which sits atop a stack of books.
Your personal library becomes a visual focal point of a room. These modern shelves (above) with the books stacked rather than stored on end has all the character of a conceptual art piece and plays beautifully against the two contemporary floor lamps and the vintage Eames lounge chair.
The quiet star of the room, though, is the contemporary chandelier, which somehow harmonizes with the architecture of the bookshelf.
We tend to think that books suggest seriousness but arranged naturally they fit just as well into a whimsical or colorful interior. Take these two white rooms with their mix of animal figures and colorful accessories, like the pink bench and striking lamp on the writing desk. The addition of a library ladder helps blend the books, the accessories and the traditional architectural details.
Don't be reluctant to mix your books up with other decorative home decor objects. At first glance, this wall console has a kind of undergraduate informality. But the combination with modern ceramic pieces and comic decorative items gives it all a light-hearted style. The whole effect is amplified by a very 21st century ceiling fixture, a modernist sofa, and the funky table lamp on the very adult rattan bar cart. It's a room for the young at heart, whatever their age.
Small spaces, particularly in urban settings, often have to do double duty. Take a lesson from the English and stylish Manhattan apartment dwellers who often turn their dining rooms into libraries. Deep wall colors and a complimentary painted ceiling are the perfect foil for a glittery chandelier and vintage mix-and-match dining seating. Even is you have to eat alone, what could be better than pulling down a favorite book for company?

IGNACIO – The Wolverines turned to a reliable, trusted friend Friday night.
The Bayfield High School wrestling team also turned up the offense with an emphatic 52-6 dual win over host Ignacio.
"I told the guys I wanted to see the same level of intensity we had at Durango (on Thursday night)," Bayfield head coach Todd McMenimen said. "And we started right from the beginning with that intensity."
The Wolverines won seven of the eight contested matches and picked up two more forfeit wins in the dual staged at the Sun Ute Community Center, which will serve as the host site for today's Butch Melton Invitational.
"Yeah, that was a throwback to Stinson," McMenimen said after the Wolverines continuously exploited the "tilt" move popularized by former head coach Herb Stinson, who retired after last season.
"That tilt was definitely the go-to move for the last 12 years here in Bayfield. These guys know how to run it," McMenimen said after the Wolverines used the tilt to score near-fall points and set up pinfalls.
"We've got a bunch who really believe in it; we're still carrying that over," McMenimen said.
Bayfield's Joe Zink, at 145 pounds, started the dual with a tilt exhibition against Ignacio's Miguel Perez.
Zink, who lost a tough decision at Durango, bounced back with a quick 12-1 lead in the first period – with eight points coming on tilt points.
Another takedown and two more tilt points, and Zink opened the evening with a 16-1 technical win over Perez.
"I was eager (to get back on the mat) because I was kind of fired up after (Thursday night)," Zink said of his trend-setting victory.
"I like being out on the mat ... it was good to release some energy," said Zink, who had his first takedown within 10 seconds of the first whistle.
"We have fun ... when we wrestle with Ignacio. It was a fun dual," said Zink, son of Faith and Pat Zink.
Teammate Tyler Beebe also employed the tilt effectively, leading 8-2 before pinning Taylor Smith of Ignacio in their 120-pound match.
Colter McMenimen, Bayfield's 126-pounder, racked up seven tilt points and an 11-0 lead before pinning Kyle Bailey.
Allec Rodriguez, who had the fastest takedown of the dual (7 seconds), piled up tilt points in masse, eventually scoring an 18-2 technical win over Ignacio's Trevor Sivers at 132 pounds.
The Wolverines also collected a first-period pin by heavyweight Matt Eckstein, the No. 4-ranked wrestler in Class 3A by coloradopreps.com. Eckstein pinned Josh Gallegos of Ignacio in 1 minute, 33 seconds of their match.
Bayfield also won a close match at 195 pounds when Dom Brittain scored a 7-3 decision over Javen Webb.
And Drake Rhodes of the Wolverines wrapped up Bayfield's win with a 7-0 decision over Ike Peńa of Ignacio, helped by two key tilt points.
Ignacio's lone victory of the dual came from 160-pounder Blaine Mickey, who didn't even expect a match Friday night.
"I came here not expecting a match. So, when I got one, I was really excited," said Mickey, son of Jeremy and Tracy Mickey.
"I decided I wanted to shoot off the (first) whistle and get the guy down," Mickey said.
No problem.
Mickey scored an ultra-quick takedown of James Young of Bayfield, turning it into a pin in 23 seconds – the quickest match of the night.
"Right as I moved, he moved over a little bit, and I was able to take a shot," said Mickey, who added that he's excited about today's Butch Melton Invitational, which will feature teams from the Four Corners and New Mexico.
"I'm hoping I can get in that first-place match. It's kind of been eluding me lately," Mickey said.
The Wolverines, too, are looking forward to the 11-team Butch Melton tournament at the Sun Ute Community Center.
"I'm excited ... this will be my last Butch Melton," Zink said. "So, we'll see how I do."

I use the Ventric 3D Cut program for the cutter paths.
This software (which is the easiest CNC software to use I have ever seen) takes
a STL file from Solidworks.
I then use the G-Code-Inch g-code selection for the output file for my Smithy 622 CNC machine.
Below are the steps I take to create the mold in Ventric 3D Cut.
As you can see, it does not get much easier than this.

Magic ShineRe: Magic ShineI also bought myself one of the newer "XML-T6" sets from DX. For $45 it's worth a punt. Have spoken to a few people online who have bought them and they said that they are fine once you spend a bit of time finishing them off (tape up and seal the battery pack, grease the o rings and put thermal paste on the heatsink). I also bought the extension cable so I can put the battery pack in my saddle bag or backpack when I ride. Reduces the issue of weight and also of weather exposure. Will see how it goes. I figured that if it does turn out to be a POS I chalk it up as a lesson learnt and get some Ay Ups. If it works out fine, then that's great and I'll have a cheap and effective high powered light to use on the odd night-time commute.

Re: Magic Shine
I took my T6 for a solo ride last night through Boondall Wetlands down to Sandgate. The track is narrow and never straight. I think the T6 beam is too spotty and not enough flood, which prevented me from taking bends quicker. But it is the cheapest 600+ lumens available and I am happy with the purchase so far. I rarely ride more than 2 hours a week at night, and I don't do mtb, so I was not prepared to buy AyUps. If I commuted regularly, I'd probably buy AyUps for peace of mind. In the mean time, the T6 is encouraging me to get out at night more, and I've moved on to getting a new helmet, wheelset, garmin vector, etc.
Re: Magic Shine
I actually got it for this purpose mainly, to use as a "spot" light. I'll also be using a wider beam LED light in conjunction with it attached to my handlebars. Also the version that I got (smooth crown) is slightly different to the others and according to another forum member the beam is a bit wider and not as concentrated. I guess I'll find out wither way in a couple of weeks. Check out my practical cycling and cycle touring website: VELOPHILE AUSTRALIA
Re: Magic ShineI spoke too soon it seems. The charger that came with the tail light (MJ-818 I think) doesn't seem to be working properly, so will resort to the original one.
In the next fortnight, will be ordering a spare tail light set and a $45 headlight set. Then I'll have 5 batteries, 2 headlights, two tail lights and 4 chargers
Re: Magic Shine
No quite - what is not obvious is that the $45 lights use a slightly different connector, so your batteries, lights and chargers will not be interchangeable. If I was in your shoes I would buy a few of the Magicshine extension leads and butcher them to replace the connectors for the $45 lights. . . . . . . .
Re: Magic ShineCheers for that. Sneaky buggers ...
Re: Magic Shine
yeah I noted that 2 days ago, when thinking my magic shine mates could interchange batteries. wouldn't be surprised if these units all come out of the same factory, which doesn't want to erode its market with cross compatibility.
Re: Magic Shine
I also got a CREE XM-L T6, which is the same LED used in the smooth crown advertised on deal extreme http://www.dealextreme.com/p/t6-smooth-crown-waterproof-xml-t6-3-mode-1200-lumen-white-led-bike-light-with-battery-pack-set-82507?r=43033281 I would hazard a guess your beam and mine are the same. Doubt there's any variation from the one CREE LED. edit: did the Smooth Crown come with a battery bag? there's no bag shown in the advert.
Re: Magic Shine
I was just going off the info from another forum member who said they owned a few different lights and had compared them. The smooth crown model also has venting holes. The actual LED emitter is the same and the same power though, the differences lie within the reflector material, shape and lens. Yes it does come with a nylon bag, for some reason it was not shown in the display pictures, but a few members have confirmed that they did get a bag with their order.

Re: Magic ShineOK, so I bought one of these:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/t6-smooth- ... -set-82507 It took 8 weeks to arrive, and when it finally did it was DOA. The battery pack was faulty. Turns out this is a common issue with these new lights. Sent it back to the RMA centre and they agreed to give me a refund. But the issue is they sent the money to my Paypal account without asking, and as some will know it is very hard to get your money out of the Paypal account without losing some in the process due to fees/currency skimming etc. They also refused to refund the cost of postage (even though they said they would at the start), instead offering a store credit which is quite a process to cash in (I have to specially contact them with the reference number when I want to use the credit). Whole thing turned out to be an expensive drama and I sincerely regret bothering with it. I am now saving up to buy an Ay Up light instead. Not worth the hassle with these cheap lights. Check out my practical cycling and cycle touring website: VELOPHILE AUSTRALIA
Re: Magic ShineHow much are the Ay Ups lights?
And why did you not just get them to send a new battery? Meanwhile you could have rigged up a temporary replacement by cutting the cable from the faulty battery. I figured these were so cheap at $45 that I'd risk the battery not lasting long. When I had faulty goods before, I got them to send something else in its place rather than mucking with store credit. Have not had to post anything back, fortunately. BTW, you know it is illegal to post Li-ion batteries overseas from Australia? Silly laws, as you can receive them.
Re: Magic ShineI know that when I ordered my stuuff deom DE, it took a while, but not 8 weeks.
If Ayup made a F&R light set that can run off the 1 battery, I'd be more interested, but klast time I checked they didn't.
Re: Magic Shine
Really? I have no problems at all transfer money from my PayPal account to my transaction account. Money turns up within two days as per most transfers and no fees associated with it. I however only transfer Australian dollars. Any funds in other currencies normally stay in PayPal for my next purchase in that currency. I don't allow PayPal to do foreign currency conversions for me. You might want to check what is actually happening as it does not sound right at all. Andrew
Re: Magic ShineI also dont have any problems.
I have just had a seller on ebay cancel and order because they no longer have stock. Paypal refunded the full payment back to my CC the following day. Graeme ***Looking For Information About Bicycle Cameras ***

Re: Magic Shine
So ... are you saying i can buy in other currencies with paypal without incurring fees/incurring less fess? I ususally buy from UK with my paypal account. I don't do anything myself regarding the foreign currency conversion, I just let it do whatever it does. I do notice that a google currency conversion is generally lower than the paypal final amount.
Re: Magic Shine
I had no way of testing it to make sure the battery was indeed faulty, I was just going off what other people on the forums were saying (a few people were all experiencing various similar issues with the battery not charging properly 1, 2). The RMA place confirmed it was the battery though after I sent it back. They offered to send me a new unit, but I can't really trust it can I, especially as they aren't very water resistant and could fail at any time without warning.. leaving me without a light to get home safely with. Ay Ups are $260 for a twin light kit, so yeah a lot more expensive which is why I got the DX lights first. But considering they have better warranty, QC, service and delivery times it is worth it as I need a bright, durable and reliable light. Aussie company too (although they obviously source all their components from China). I do have to say that at least the DX support was quite good once I raised a ticket. They had everything pretty well sorted and kept me updated with the progress and what I needed to do. So +1 for that. Just a pity that it took sooo long to arrive and then when it finally rocked up it was DOA.. $45 for a light like that is mighty temping if it actually worked properly.
Yeah actually transferring the money back to my normal bank account wasn't as painful as I last remember. I think I lost a little bit from changing exchange rates, but it was negligible. I sold my fixie a few weeks back for a healthy sum, I was going to put that towards a new carbon roadie, but I think I might buy myself some Ay Ups instead with the money (I also bought a Showers Pass Elite 2.0 jacket last week which I might chalk up against the fixie cash too). I'll wait until I have a job before I look into a new carbon bike. Last edited by elStado on Sat Nov 26, 2011 12:30 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Re: Magic ShineSorry to hear about your experience ElStado - very happy with my Ayups still and have had them for over a year now. They get shared between 4 of my bikes as I ordered extra handlebar mounts. Sure beats my old method of having to either own 4 different lights or fiddle around with them to transfer from one bike to another.

Re: Magic ShineMine are still going strong the original 808 model and a tail light. Two battery packs one is the original heat wrapped ones which I water proofed myself and the other the newer plastic housing type. The later is a bit big but works fine.
Re: Magic Shine
I am saying that I get charged in the currency of the seller. PayPal does not charge you fees for buying; it will offer a less than favourable exchange rate but. Of course your credit card may charge you for foreign currency transactions. The one I use for these purchases does not charge me fees and the conversion rate is pretty much as per XE.com on the day. Andrew
Re: Magic ShineJusdt bought another 808E and the 818 tail light. A battery went cactus, guessing the dropping onto bike racks a couple times did it, but the other battery with the tail light has been a revelation. I think I ran it for maybe 20+ hours before charging on flash mode? It was WEEKS between charges, even with the 45kms a day, and in ALL CONDITIONS. Can't recommend the rear light enough. The power drain on the front light is pretty serious though - gotta charge that baby even on strobe once a week at least. Good idea to split the two just in case. Also, my batteries are rubber sealed AND stay inside a drybag. I've put some silicone around the back of the taillight as well to reduce exposure.
Figured a few people might want to know how the Chinese Lottery went.
Re: Magic ShineBoth mine (808E and 818) are going well and coming up to their 3rd winter.
I pair both lights off the one battery, and whilst I think the charge life is dropping a bit on the two batteries that I rotate, still very happy with the setup and aboput to but anorther set for the other bike, as it saves having to swap it around when I change bikes.
Re: Magic ShineSame here mine are coming up on three years too and still going strong.I also run one battery off a y cable I have to charge daily.The bats last for about 2 hrs front on high and the rear on.One of my batteries if the new one in the plastic box the other is the original one with the ends siliconed up still works fine.I've been super o impressed with magic shines and agree the rear is the bomb but obnoxious if your in a group.

Early Morning Commute to Bus Route
We (gf and I) are up in Clark County where gasoline is king and it's unfashionable to take public transit.
To arrive at the earliest bus to get her on the eastside, so she can get to Parkrose Transit Center we are looking at a nasty early morning commute. I say "nasty" because we will be heading out at about 5am with a very good hill to climb to get to the bus route. She is gaining personal strength internally from bike riding. I love seeing how much confidence she is gaining and the hills she used to walk up, she really tries to crank on that crank! I don't want this to put a bad taste in her mouth and ruin it. She has a 2.5 mile commute to the earliest bus pickup and worst of all, she has a very nice hill (Mill Plain Hill just east of Grand BLVD. for you clark county cats). It is cold and wet at 5am. She believes in the bicycle for recreational use but not for commuting, yet. My Portland and Vancouver friends, I need some advice. How can I make this as least painful for her as possible. Perhaps: wake up extra early and take a longer hot shower, absolute rain gear, some sort of good early morning relaxation breakfast, walking the bike up the hill the whole way, music, comfortable warm and dry gear. I dunno. She doesn't like to bike in the rain generally but recognizes it as a possible transportation tool. Then again, we have never covered her in true rain gear. She is tiny and her hands freeze, perhaps thick snow gloves? I am sure some of you know a person like her. We are on a low budget and need to tackle this simple problem. She doesn't know I am seeking advice yet. I guess what I am trying to say is: I need to get her from point A to point B, dry, without exhaustion, without sweat, without misery and with some slice of accomplishment. Help me, please. |

On the heels of his Emmy-winning It Gets Better campaign, columnist and provocateur Dan Savage weighs in on such diverse issues as healthcare, gun control, and marriage equality with characteristic straight talk and humor.
Dan Savage has always had a loyal audience, thanks to his syndicated sex-advice column Savage Love but since the incredible global success of his It Gets Better project - his book of the same name was a New York Times best seller - his profile has skyrocketed. In addition, he's written for The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The Onion, GQ, The Guardian, Salon.com, and countless other widely read publications. Savage is recognized as someone whose opinions about our culture, politics, and society should not only be listened to but taken seriously.
Now, in American Savage, he writes on topics ranging from marriage, parenting, and the gay agenda to the Catholic Church, sex education, and the obesity epidemic.
©2013 Dan Savage (P)2013 Penguin Audio
"You will laugh, you may cry and will probably fume"
Dan Savage is a polarizing kind of guy, he's one of the bogeymen for the religious and political right, a leading LGBT rights activist and tireless campaigner for marriage equality. He's also a funny, clever enormously readable and (a characteristic quite rare nowadays) wise writer. This well written and frequently quite moving book will likely particular appeal to certain constituents.
If you are GGG with the whole LGBT marriage equality message this book is a handy guide to your positions and arguments. If you are a Fox News aficionado who thinks that women should not have control over their own reproductive health and two people of the same gender being married threatens your marriage then you may still find this book entertaining and it will give you something to shout at in the car.
Dan calls out the misogynist, homophobic, anti-science and bigoted vocal crowd led by Bachmann, Palin and Cruz one topic at a time. He gives the arguments for issues, many of which aren't even regarded as topics worthy of debate in the rest of the civilized world.
It's a little depressing to hear the level of stupidity that Dan calls out and answers so succinctly. If you follow Savage Love (his excellent weekly podcast) you will be familiar with his brand of pithy and frequently very funny common sense, this is a must read for you. If you have seen Dan speaking on LGBT issues as the "Token Gay" on shows like Bill Mahr or even Fox News you might have noticed how approachable and funny he is. This book gives him room to explore and explain in much more depth but always with that wry good humor we have come to expect from him. This is a well thought through, well structured, well informed and enormously entertaining exploration of the social and political questions which most divide our country…if you care about these issues (from either side) you should read this book.
"Some great essays, but a bit repetitive"
Damn, I had no idea Dan Savage was such a good writer. I'm a weekly listener to his Savage Love podcast and reader of his column, but this was the first time I've read/heard one of his personal essays, and they were very powerful. I sobbed my way through his essay about his mother's death, for example.
Other chapters, however, were rote and predictable to those familiar with his work. Some of the lines he uses I could recite word for word. You should roll your kinks out like they're a fun thing you get to do, not like they're *what*, kids? Let's say it all together now. Leukemia! His thoughts on cheating, open relationships, why women shouldn't be offended that he refers to pussy as "canned ham dropped from a great height" (still offensive no matter how much you like canned ham) are nothing new for regular readers or listeners.
Yet the new chapters were strong enough that I still think this book deserves four stars. In addition to the essay about his mom's death, the essay about going back to the Catholic church — at least physically — is poignant and insightful. The chapter about the It Gets Better project is interesting as well as brutally sad. I learned some new stuff in the health care chapter (for instance, I will never eat at Jimmy John's again). And last but certainly not least, Bigot Christmas is almost worth the price of the book alone.
"Savage is an Amazing Writer and Narrator"
YES YES YES! I plan to listen to this again. In fact, I plan to buy his other audio books, narrated by him. First, Savage is an eloquent and witty writer who makes his points clearly and thoroughly. I don't always agree with him, but I always find him worth listening to. I generally do agree with him and I find listening to his writing gives me food for thought and new ideas in developing my own world view.
Second, his narration is amazing. I could listen to a grocery list if he read it and feel soothed. He has an amazing voice and listening to him read his own work only makes what is great material even better.
I would say that hearing David Sedaris reading his own work or Tina Fey read her own work come closest to this book for me - not because they are similar but because all three of these authors as narrators make me so happy. They are so wonderful to listen to. Their own narration adds so much to the written word, enhancing it and making the words so much richer.
Everything. Truly. I love his timing, his voice, his pronouncation, his laugh, everything.
Many many parts of the book are moving. However, the most moving part was a story of his mother's last moments. I had heard this before on This American Life, slightly different. Even having heard that, even having cried for this moment before, even knowing what was coming, I had to work hard hold myself together. If I would have been driving, I would have had to pull over because I wouldn't have been safe to drive. I was walking in to work and it took everything I had to not break down sobbing in the building lobby.
Dan, if you ever read this - thank you so much for taking your time to write this book and then narrate it. Your work makes my vanilla little life richer. Thank you.
"Should be required reading in US high schools!"
Dan Savage is a great performer on his own work! This collection of essays should be on the reading list of every United States history curriculum!
"Great addition to the fight for a more liberal Us"
Love the book and it was great to have Dan himself as the read for all the little inflections and reminiscences that make the book come to life as though it were a live reading. For anyone who is of a liberal mind this book will resonate deeply with you and the injustices that are a part of the current struggle for a better society.
""Surprisingly delightful!""
No, once was enough. It was a great read and I definitely recommend it.
The story itself, I had to put it down at times because I was furious.I felt inspired at times. I am one who can listen to others and consider their opinions with an open mind. I cried listening about his Mother. I laughed when he was describing the dinner with Brian Brown. Do I agree with all of Dan's beliefs? NOPE! Nor Mr. Brown's but overall it was a good read
I enjoy when authors narrate their own work! This is huge for me.
"Biased much?"
Dan Savage can do no wrong! I'm an avid follower of his podcast, I love his take on relationships and sex, so maybe, I'm just a little bit biased. But who cares, right?
"Price of Admission"
Well substantiated arguments.
Absolutely. He brings forward good arguments, current topics and an interesting perspective.
Yes. Some similar material.
An excellent attention grabber as it is. No need to change it.
Thanks Dan for putting yourself out there. Always food for thought.
"I am glad I stuck it out."
No, but it was good the first time.
I loved when he moved on from his usual topic, to things of more substance.
He is so good at crafting a compelling argument! I loved the part of him having over for dinner, a person who so adamantly apposed his views to have the freedom to marry. I think it is so important to have dialogue! instead of being angry or mean to each other.
I love when Authors read their books, it is so impactful to the story. Hearing the pauses and inflection at just the moment it is intended is so wonderful!
Say something about yourself!
"Learn what Dan thinks about ______"
Fans of Dan Savage probably already know his opinion on a far range of subjects, as he is not one to hide his opinion. But this books details his opinion with nuance and details on not always provided to him in shorter formats.
Dan's book has some interesting anecdotes and stories, but it is more of an editorial than a biography. His views are thoughtful, and his tone is engaging. The book is a fun listen with Dan's original wit, humor and irreverence that people both love and hate him for.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Product Q&A

Q: Will my Loll Furniture fade or need to be painted or stained?
A: NO! The HDPE that Loll uses will not fade or change color. The natural color Richlite material we use for our table tops will patina over time but will still look good. You will never have to paint or stain Loll Furniture.
Q: What kind of maintenance will I have to do to keep my Loll Furniture looking good?
A; NONE! Leave it out year round, hose it off with a garden hose in the spring and enjoy. It's that easy. Loll Furniture will not, fade, warp, rot, require paint or stain or any on going maintenance to keep its beautiful appearance so you can spend more time relaxing.
Q: What does the plastic feel like?
A: The plastic we use has a texture very closely resembling an orange peel.
Q: Is it safe to use/keep my Loll furniture by a fire pit?
A: Yes! Just don't throw it in the fire. The melting point of the poly used in our furniture is 275 degrees F - which means if you do have a problem with melting, you've got bigger problems to worry about first, like the fact that your legs are on fire.

31.08.2013 /
Czech rider Karel Hanika emerged top Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup rider once again in Round 10 of the championship to further consolidate his overall lead in what was an action packed, multi rider scramble for glory at Britain's Silverstone on Saturday. Diego Perez of Spain finished second and countryman Marcos Ramirez was third in a thrilling finish on the sweeping 5.9 km British circuit.
Karel Hanika, 17, has been outstanding all season and apart from one DNF has never been lower than second in any of the other nine rounds. His win at Silverstone comes on the heels of a great race in Brno in Round 9 in front of his increasing number of Czech fans.
Saturday's race was in the balance right to the last corner with no less than six riders in with a chance of claiming the top step. Then Jorge Martin of Spain and Dutch rider Scott Deroue came together in the dash for the lead and exited in the gravel instead of the start-finish straight. It was a big disappointment for Martin, another stand out rider in the 2013 competition. He has been a major challenger to Hanika throughout the season and has picked up two wins and a total of five podium places in the 10 rounds.
But while Haneka rode his usual smart race onboard the KTM RC250 RB Moto3 bike, it was still no walkover. He was challenged hard and often and with just four laps to go it was Deroue in the lead with Martin and Hanika behind. While they led the charge in the final lap the reality was that any one of about eight riders could have emerged the winner of the 14-lap race.
Rookies contest Round 11 on Sunday afternoon as part of the MotoGP program at the British circuit and Hanika goes into the race with a substantial 76-point lead in the competition.

Hello guys!
After browsing through the net searching for model sub pictures, I saw few one that were taken underwater. I have never done this with my subs but I did see those waterproof disposable cameras that cost around 10$ or so. I do have a didgital camera so I was wondering if you guys who have done this can help me out. I am thinking of building a sort of "WTC" so I can lower it and the camera inside into the water and operate the camera via wires of some sort. Sounds like fatasy but I'm sure about that idea either. The pond that I want to operate my subs in is not very deep, about 4-5 feet deep or so. Do I really need to get into my scuba suit and take the pictures by hand? Sounds a bit hard because I also need to waterproof my transmitter in this case .
Any suggestions?

That's a downer
I had downloaded all pre-release ISOs, and now just booted the released Fedora 10 live CD X86_64 and all of them hanged on boot.
It don't even get to GDM prompt.
It shows (kind of blinking) a freeze image of the last booted gnome session, in my case, Ubuntu!
Go figure!
Does anyone here knows a workaround to this?
My Hardware: ATI X1600pro AGP + Gigabyte 8VT880P Combo + 2GB Ram + Dell 24' LCD
PS: There is absolutely nothing wrong with the media used to burn this images. The very same CD booted without problems on a Dell 1525.

From The Bronx To The Bench: The Family Photos Of Justice Sotomayor
By editor
Jan 12, 2013
It was a long road to the Supreme Court. On the way, Justice Sonia Sotomayor faced a diabetes diagnosis, her father's death to alcoholism and her cousin's overdose. For Sotomayor, life began in the Bronx, in tenement housing in a community of Puerto Rican immigrants. She gave NPR exclusive access to a huge suitcase brimming with family photos and tells her story in this multimedia experience.

Interesting: their "SDK" basically ships /usr/include/CL/ headers for the OpenCL language (we had these already), and a bunch of libs in /usr/lib64/OpenCL/vendors/intel. From what I can see, it ships a software-only implementation of OpenCL as /usr/lib64/libOpenCL.so which depends upon the libs in /usr/lib64/OpenCL/. It uses a couple libs with familiar names; they seem to be using the Clang compiler and a "TBB" custom heap allocator (whatever that stands for). They provide a "libOclCpuBackEnd.so", further enhancing the perception that no hardware support is available.
Kind of ironic that Intel is providing this under what seems to be a proprietary license, and it doesn't even run on Intel GPUs. What's the point of OpenCL if you aren't using the GPU? ATI and Nvidia cards are at least much closer to having OpenCL support through Gallium3d, and in the case of the binary drivers, some degree of hardware-accelerated support is already available.
Basically this is completely, utterly useless unless you want to develop programs using OpenCL and don't have a GPU with a hardware-accelerated implementation. And you won't get a good idea of your program's real-world performance on actual hardware because you will be using a CPU to do tasks that are suited for a GPU. If they really wanted to support OpenCL, they would work it into Mesa somehow. Hell, even bolting it onto the Mesa classic DRI infrastructure would be better than this "SDK" -- at least then you could use hardware OpenCL with Intel chips and possibly r300c / r600c.
I'll wait for the Gallium drivers to support OpenCL, myself. Once hardware OpenCL is available for any Gallium driver, we should see either softpipe or llvmpipe OpenCL following shortly thereafter, which would obsolete this proprietary, ad-hoc software implementation for those lacking capable hardware.

Palliative Care Consultation Service
Sometimes in the moments approaching the end of life, alleviating pain and providing the spiritual and emotional support can help enable each person to die with peace, with dignity, and without pain. Palliative care is there when medicine alone isn't enough. It's another aspect of care to improve the lives of patients and families facing serious illness.
Palliative care has long been established in Europe, and in 2005 Cottage was one of the leaders in bringing palliative care to California. Organizations from our community joined together to bring this important program to the hospital. A unique and innovative partnership was established as Cottage, Hospice of Santa Barbara, Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care of Santa Barbara, and the Saint Francis Foundation collaborated to create, implement and fund the Palliative Care Consultation Service offered at Cottage.
The Palliative Care team—a group of physicians, nurses, social workers, and a chaplain—is well-trained for the intense work. Most agree that the work called out to them. They recognize that many would find it difficult, but as palliative care nurse Susan Gibson explains, "Not everyone can do this, work with people in crisis. I discovered that I can. And if you know you can, you really have no choice but to do it."
Some might think looking mortality in the eye each day would be depressing, but social worker Sherie Davis says that's not the case. Quite the opposite, as she sees it: "People facing life and death challenges are more real, they let down their ego defenses and show you their truest selves. Patients and families show such amazing strength and grace. It's a privilege to witness that and share that time with them."
The Palliative Care service's nurse manager, Susan White, whose background is in critical care and pain management, explains her entrance into the field: "When I was called in to interview for this job it was as if I could see the ceiling opening up and a giant gift box landing. An unbelievable gift! It is so rewarding to have this role, to be the person who can sit and listen, hear what people need, and communicate those needs to other clinical care providers."
Chaplain Clay Napier agrees, "This role called out to me, and being with people in crisis is one of the most powerful parts of health care. I get to be there for the best and the worst."
In most cases, after a physician requests palliative care for a patient, all disciplines of the Palliative Care team are eventually involved in the case, because pain can be attached not only to physical suffering but psychosocial and emotional suffering. Palliative care is total person care. And it's as much for family members as for patients.
Members of the Palliative Care Consultation Service appreciate being able to send people in the right direction and surround them with what they need. That might mean finding the right way to relieve a patient's nausea or to help them breathe better. It might mean communicating with other nurses and care providers to ensure continuity of care. It might mean hospice coordination or healing touch or guided imagery therapy. It might mean calling a family member to offer bereavement support and counseling resources.
In one instance it meant going the extra mile to help reconnect estranged family members so they could share a healthy end-of-life experience. Sometimes simply reinforcing that every patient is unique and has a life story can bring compassion back where it needs to be.
The team tends to get emotional when remembering some of the long-term patients who've touched their lives. And they realize that caring for themselves is part of their work, a necessary part that enables them to care for others. "We check in with each other and have daily meetings," says Susan White. "If someone has a really tough experience we honor that time they need to regroup before they can go back onto the floor and continue providing the best support for patients."
Their gentle work is recognized in the many thank-you notes they receive from patients and family members. Sifting through a stack of those handwritten cards, Susan White nods, "The words of thanks sustain us."
Cottage's palliative care team includes four medical directors: Drs. Dennis Baker, Mike Bordofsky, Michael Kearney and Eric Trautwein. The team's nurse manager is Susan White and nurses are Susan Gibson, Julie Hirsch and Lori Mendez. Sherie Davis is the social worker and Clay Napier is chaplain.

About Palliative Care
Is palliative care the same as hospice care?
No. Palliative care is appropriate for any stage of serious illness. It is not hospice care, though palliative care services can help with transitions between care settings, whether that be home care or hospice care.
What is the goal of palliative care?
Palliative care is focused on relieving pain, symptoms and stress of a serious illness.
When should palliative care begin?
Anyone facing serious illness or injury can benefit from palliative care. However, early, proactive palliative care upon diagnosis of a serious illness has shown to be most effective in improving quality of life.
Are palliative care providers specially trained?
Yes. Palliative care is a recognized medical specialty. While all Cottage caregivers are educated on the goals and principles of palliative care, the physicians who serve as medical directors of the Palliative Care Consultation Service at Cottage are all board certified in palliative care.
Do all hospitals offer palliative care?
The number is growing. Currently about half of U.S. hospitals have palliative care programs. About 20 percent of for-profit hospitals offer such services.
How can I get palliative care?
If you or a loved one want to discuss options for Palliative Care Consultation Service, please ask your doctor or nurse for a referral. You can learn more about our service by calling the Palliative Care office at 805-569-8393.

Amerec's AK series generators are engineered for performance and reliability. The innovative "soft steam" feature provides the ultimate in steam bathing comfort. Minimal temperature variations and an even flow of steam are the two most important performance characteristics of a steam bath. Amerec engineering delivers both with innovative "soft steam" element switching to maintain a consistent and comfortable bathing environment. The AK uses full power to quickly heat up the steam room to its preset temperature; then it cuts power to half its elements, resulting in a more consistent flow of soft billowing steam and more stable temperature.
