A room with no view: Safe rooms, prefab shelters and tornado-proof homes
While building a tornado-proof home that can withstand high winds and flying objects isn't impossible, it's not always feasible. How have you gone about creating a safe space in your non-tornado-proof home?

Having grown up in the Pacific Northwest and spent most of my adult life in the Northeast, I've never experienced a legitimate twister. And as this horrific, historic tornado season continues to destroy homes, devastate families, and decimate entire towns in the South and Midwest — most recently in Joplin, Mo. — I've been wondering about what the at-home protocol is when the sirens begin to blare since I've never experienced it firsthand. Aside from the basement (what's with the southeast corner?) where exactly is considered "safe"? What happens beyond the romanticized "get the kids and the chickens down to the cellar and quick!" scene? And are Tornado Alley homes built to withstand the elements just like seismic building codes in shakier parts of the world require homes to be built so that they don't crumble?
According to a recent ABC News article, tornado-proof homes aren't impossible to build — it's just impossible for most homeowners to afford one. A fastidiously engineered dwelling with "missile-resistant" doors, walls, windows and roof can bump construction costs up at least 20 percent compared to homes that aren't designed to deflect projectiles being hurled through the air at 250 miles per hour.
Experts believe that the most reasonable alternative to building a tornado-proof, Jodi Foster-approved home is to build an in-residence safe room if a storm shelter or basement isn't an option.
Ernst Kiesling, a professor of civil engineering at Texas Tech University and executive director for the National Storm Shelter Association, tells ABC News: "You have to build to such high standards that when you try to make the entire house safe, that's not sensible. It greatly increases the cost [to build] the house."
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides all sorts of instruction and answers numerous questions on how to go about building and preparing an in-residence safe room, noting that the best locations are in a basement, atop a concrete slab-on-grade foundation or garage floor, or in an interior room on a ground floor.
Instead of rehashing information from the FEMA website, I have a few questions for those of you who live in active tornado areas. Feel free to speak out in the comments sections.
Where exactly in your own home is your safe room/shelter? What is it like? Have you retrofitted an area of your home to withstand tornado or hurricane-strength winds? Or have you installed a fancy, prefabricated aboveground storm "closet" of sorts as detailed by Wall Street Journal reporter Wendy Bounds in the below video? Have any general advice to share on safe rooms/storm shelters and on tornado preparedness? (I personally need it as I didn't know what in the world to do when this blew through my Brooklyn neighborhood.) Would you ever consider living somewhere like this?

Rebuilding A Raw Water Pump
previous page

Pump Removed
This article is going to assume you have the skills to safely and easily remove your own water pump from the engine. This one is easy and uses four bolts and a gasket to mount to the timing gear case on the engine.
In this photo you can see how the pump came off the motor. While not leaking badly the oil seal side was weeping a tiny bit of oil as shown. Also when they installed this motor they used 1" hose on a 7/8" hose barb so there was some water leakage that cause some of the corrosion. This pump appears to have never been rebuilt and the motor has 2878 hours on her so good pumps can last a long time.
This raw water pump is made by Johnson Pump as a specific OEM unit for Westerbeke. Unfortunately Johnson Pump will not sell you parts, other than an impeller, due to OEM agreements.
A new Westerbeke pump is $480.00 and the rebuild kit is $130.00. This kit includes literally everything but the pump body!! Rebuilding is the cost effective and obvious choice provided your pump body is in good condition.

Remove The C-Clip
Raw water pumps, while similar, all have a few features in common; a pump body, shaft, impeller, seals and either bushings or bearings.
This particular pump uses two bearings that are pressed into the pump body then retained with a c-clip.
To remove this clip you will need a set of c-clip pliers of the type that pinch rather than open when you squeeze the handles. Sears, and other tool retailers, sell these and they are called everything from "retaining ring pliers" to "circlip pliers" to "c-clip pliers".
Removing the c-clip is as easy as it looks. Simply insert the pliers tips into the retaining ring holes, squeeze and then lift out the ring.

Drive The Shaft Out
Once the c-clip is removed you'll then need to drive out the shaft. On pumps with bushings the shaft generally just slides out but on pumps with internals roller bearings you'll need to press them out. I used a hole in my work bench, that is for my router, to lay the pump on. The hole accepted the shaft & bearings when I tapped it out. Be sure to have something below the hole to catch the shaft or it could land on cement and become damaged or scored.

Use A Block Of Wood
When driving the shaft out it would be advisable to use a press but most boaters don't have one so I am showing you an alternative method. If you are of a mechanical mind set and own a lead or brass hammer then it would be OK to tap directly on the shaft as brass and lead are softer than the shaft material. If you do not own a soft metal hammer simply insert a block of wood such as Maple, Oak or Teak, as I have done here, and tap on the wood with a regular hammer.
Please remember this is a light tapping not a smashing or pounding.
If the shaft won't come out, with some gentle taps, add some PB Blaster, let is soak over night, and try again. If you still don't have any luck drop it at a machine shop and for about $5.00 or $10.00 they will press it out for you. I have never seen one that required this but with boats anything is possible..

The Shaft Is Out !
Here's a break down of the shaft & bearings. As you can see this shaft uses two bearings which are bathed & lubricated from the motor oil in engine. If you look closely you see the grooves or marks where both the oil seal and water seal spin on the shaft. This pump shaft will not be reused due to the scoring. While it very well could be re-used, with new seals, there is not much sense going to all this trouble and effort and then not doing it right.

Seal Locations
This is a well designed pump. The oil seal is isolated by a weep slot or hole from the water side of the pumps and seal. Even if the water seal were to leak the water will just drain out the weep hole. If the oil side weeps it too will simply drain out the weep hole. Neither side of this pump can pressurize or leak into one another.
On occasion I have seen weep holes plugged with dried salt. In theory this could create some pressure that could press though a weak oil seal when the engine was of and the seacock open. With the engine running the crankcase becomes pressurized and should reject the water. I have yet to see any water in engine oil even with a salt encrusted weep hole. It is quite possible that if water did get in, it was so minimal it was evaporated off with engine heat. Either way if you have dried salt, water leaking or oil leaking you'll need to rebuild the pump.
Unfortunately some pumps, by certain makers, do not have or utilize adequate weep holes so a water side leak could inevitably leak into the engines oil or vice versa.

The Seals
Here are the actual seals. These two seals, when pressed into the pump body, are constantly separated by the spacer so they do not settle or compress against one another and risk oil/water or water/oil contamination. The spacer sits, and is captive, right over the weep hole to let a leak drain and become visible and detectable.
It is very important that the four little feet on the spacer face the oil seal when reinstalling the seals! The flat side of the spacer faces the water pump seal and the feet face the oil seal.

The Rebuld Kit
As I mentioned before the replacement for this pumps is $480.00 but I only paid about $130.00 for the rebuild kit. This particular kit contains every single gasket, screw, washer and piece that makes up this pump other than the pump body casting itself. Buying a rebuild kit and doing this job yourself can represent a tremendous savings over buying a new pump.
This kit included the following: Water seal, seal spacer, oil seal, shaft, impeller, impeller lube (Glycerin), cover plate, cover plate gasket, cover plate screws, cam, cam screw, cam washer, c-clip, bearings, shaft & pump to engine gasket.
Sadly, not all pumps have re-build kits available. If not there is a great company in Florida called Depco Pump can usually get you what you need or even sell you a re-built pump.

How Did It Get So Clean ?
I know some will wonder how this pump went from that grungy old pump look to shiny & new looking. It's easy, I use a brass wheel on my bench grinder and burgundy colored Scotch-Brite discs on my Dremel. I clean the cover plate and pump gasket surfaces with wet sand paper and honing oil on a piece of 3/8" thick glass for a smooth surface.

Putting It Back Together
The first thing I re-installed was the pump cam. Be sure to use the small copper crush washer that came with the rebuild kit or it will leak out of the screw hole..

Install The Bearings On The Shaft
This task is perhaps the most difficult of the entire process. The bearings need to be pressed onto the shaft and it's a very tight fit.
I used an old trick I taught to me years ago for doing just this sort of thing. I simply heated the bearings, in the toaster over (my wife doesn't know I cook bearings..), to 200F. At the same time I had the shaft in the freezer.

The bill came due last December, when Farrell entered rehab shortly after wrapping Miami Vice. "I was burning the candle at both ends and the flames met in the middle," the Irish actor, 30, told London's Daily Mirror. "It was a long time coming, but I had my arse handed to me on a plate. Now I haven't had a drink for six months." Indeed, as a leaner, livelier, joke-cracking Farrell makes the promotional rounds for the film, in which he plays Det. James "Sonny" Crockett to Jamie Foxx's Ricardo Tubbs, he seems to have bested his Miami vices. "I think he's doing terrific. He looks sensational," says Miami Vice producer Pieter Jan Brugge. "I'm doing great," Farrell told reporters. "I've taken some time off, and I'm really happy."
Vice's grueling 105-day shoot was decidedly not a happy one for Farrell. The chain-smoking actor was struggling to keep his composure ("We were originally going to go with a costume that was made of Nicorette patches," he jokes, "but it kept melting in the Miami sun") while coping with his back injury. Despite being on painkillers, he was regularly spotted at Miami's clubs and strip joints until the wee hours. His partying "changed his physical appearance," says a Vice source. "He looked like he gained 20 lbs. just in his face." Even so, "I didn't miss a day's work," Farrell told Today. "I might not have been fully aware when I was there every day, but I turned up." Soon after filming wrapped, however, the actor entered rehab for what his rep called "exhaustion and a dependency to prescription medication."
Farrell says he "stepped away for a bit and had a look." Now he likes what he sees: The actor told PEOPLE that things have been "wonderful" since exiting rehab. Much of the credit for persuading Hollywood's reigning wild thing to tame his ways goes to his son James, 2, with former girlfriend Kim Bordenave, 36. "He's the greatest priority in my life," Farrell told the Daily Mirror. "I wasn't suicidal, but I never had much of a will to live a long time. Now I want to watch my son grow up." During filming, father and son "would spend weekends together," says costar Elizabeth Rodriguez. "He was pretty hands-on, giving him love."
Farrell again served as the protective papa on July 21, when he obtained a restraining order for himself, James and Bordenave against Dessarae Bradford, who approached Farrell from the audience during his July 20 stint on the Tonight Show couch. "I am concerned for the safety of my family," said Farrell in the legal filing against Bradford, a former phone-sex operator who has sued him three times for harassment (the first two suits were dismissed), "given Ms. Bradford's ... escalating unwanted personal contact." Farrell's rep said the two "had never met or spoken" until the Tonight Show incident.
The actor's wild love life also seems to have settled down. Lately, Farrell has been stepping out with Surface's Lake Bell, his costar in the upcoming drama Pride and Glory, who arrived with him at his L.A. Vice premiere. Still, the actor insisted to the Daily Mirror that he is single, adding that because he has lived primarily in hotels while shooting films over the past seven years, "it's better for me, at 30, to be on my own."
While he won't commit to staying sober forever ("I'd never say anything for good," he told the Evening Standard), Farrell, who is in London shooting Woody Allen's next film, has no regrets about finally putting the lid on his roaring 20s. "I have to reinvent myself all over again," he told Today about ditching his bad-boy reputation. "You take it every day as it comes."

It ended up somehow that you began visiting Eridan. At first, you visited whenever you had a bad day or wanted someone just to plain yap to. Then it was twice a week. Without even you realizing it, everyday afterschool or at 10 on weekends, you'd go to the beach to talk to Eridan. You also had opened up to him more and really relaxed in his presence. Even with all this going on, you were still really unhelpful with his redrom/blackrom problems. Especially when it came to his redrom feels for Feferi.
"Oh my cod, you are such a dork!" You laughed as he brought up one of his old ideas of winning Feferi's heart.
"That's not vvery nice, (Name)! I put all my heart and soul into that plan!"
"Doesn't mean it's a good one, Eridan! In fact, your ideas just plain suck. You need romantic advice, pronto."
"Wwell, if you think your so good at redrom, then tell me how I should do it right!" He looked pissed (which you found utterly adorable, not like you'd ever say it aloud) and you just laughed.
"Love to, Eri, but honestly, I'm no better! I haven't had a single boyfriend, nothing even close to it, and you and Tavros are my only friends! I would say Karkat too, but we always seem to be friends, get into a fight, be mad at each other for weeks, then get over it and be friends again. Repeat." Eridan stared at you with an unreadable expression. "What? Do I have something on my face?"
"You havven't filled a single quadrant in all your life? No redroms? Not even a blackrom?"
"Nope. At the most, just moirail."
It got quiet after that. Eridan took in the thought that her quadrants were empty and she didn't even care a bit. You, on the other hand, thought about that. No one to hate forever and ever... No one to have cheesy romantic dates with... Was your life always this pitiful, or did it just seem good because Eridan wasn't around before to point this out?
"Shit, it's getting late. I gotta go home." You literally launched yourself up off the sand and patted all the sand off. Eridan just sat up, looking at you thoughtfully. You took a deep breath in and sighed it back out. "Alright, I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Same time?" He nodded and gave you a small smile. This was weird... You eyed him as you walked off, though he just kept staring out at the sea. Whatever fishy stuff he was cooking up, you didn't want to know.

The Chills are a guitar and keyboard-based rock band from Dunedin, New Zealand. The band is essentially the continuing project of singer/songwriter Martin Phillipps, who is the group's sole constant member—for a time in the 1990s, the act was billed as Martin Phillipps & The Chills. In the 1980s and 1990s, The Chills had some significant chart success in their homeland, and were a cult band in other parts of the world as one of the earliest proponents of the Dunedin Sound.
Early years and first break-up (1980-1983)[edit]
Singer-songwriter Martin Phillipps formed The Chills in 1980 with his sister Rachel Phillipps on keyboards and Jane Dodd on bass after the demise of his punk band, The Same.[1] Also included in the initial line-up were guitarist Peter Gutteridge and drummer Alan Haig. Phillipps' earlier band, the Same, had formed in 1978 and performed alongside punk bands Toy Love and The Enemy.[1]
The Chills were initially signed by Flying Nun Records and were one of the four bands recorded for the Dunedin Double EP in 1982. By this time, the band consisted of Martin Phillipps, Alan Haig, keyboard player Frazer Batts and bassist Terry Moore.
Rachel Phillipps returned (replacing Batts) and Martyn Bull took over from Haig on drums in time for the band's first single "Rolling Moon", which was a chart hit in 1983. However, Bull's sudden illness caused the band to then take a year off.
Reformation and international success (1984-1992)[edit]
After Bull's death in July 1983 (from leukemia), the Chills changed their name to A Wrinkle in Time, as Phillipps was initially unwilling to continue performing under a name associated with his late friend. The name change was brief, though they did perform live under the alternative name. No recordings were released as A Wrinkle in Time.
Once the Chills name had been re-established, from this point forward The Chills were essentially a solo project spearheaded by Martin Phillipps, the band's lead singer and only songwriter. Band personnel turnover was near-constant, with The Chills going through over 20 different line-up changes with Phillipps as the only constant member. Members of the band from 1984 on have included Terry Moore, Alan Haig, Peter Allison, David Kilgour, Steven Schayer, Martin Kean, Justin Harwood, Caroline Easther, Jimmy James Stephenson, Jillian Dempster among others. Several of these musicians went on to further success in bands ranging from The Verlaines to Luna.
The band's first post-Wrinkle In Time release was the 1984 single "Pink Frost", which became the band's biggest hit to that time. It was initially recorded in 1982 by the three-piece band of Martin Phillipps, Terry Moore and Martyn Bull, before receiving new overdubs in 1984. This single was followed by the single (and #12 hit) "Doledrums", then a 6-song EP called The Lost EP. This EP did not feature any of the band's previous or future singles, and itself peaked at #4 on the New Zealand singles charts in 1985. The Chills undertook their first European tour that same year.
In 1986, the band issued the minor international hit "I Love My Leather Jacket", recorded at The Point Studio, by Danny Hyde.[2][3] "I Love My Leather Jacket" was dedicated to late drummer, Bull, who had bequeathed the said item of clothing to Phillipps in his will. The Chills finally released their first album, Kaleidoscope World, in 1986; the album was a compilation of various previously released singles, EP tracks and songs from the Dunedin Double EP.
The band released their first proper album, Brave Words in 1987. The band spent most of 1987 (February through mid-December) promoting the album by touring Europe, interspersed with 4 July dates in New York and Boston. A full-fledged North American tour occurred in the fall of 1988; tour dates would be a regular part of the band's life for the next several years.
In 1990, the band were signed to a worldwide record deal with the their music appearing on the Warner Brothers imprint Slash Records in North America. Their 1990 album Submarine Bells included their biggest international hit, the whimsically titled "Heavenly Pop Hit". The tune was also a hit in the US, as it charted at #17 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart; it remains their only American chart appearance. The group's follow-up album, 1992's Soft Bomb, featured a totally different Chills line-up (save for Phillipps), and spun off the hit "The Male Monster From The Id".
Second reformation (1995-present)[edit]
Phillipps announced the dissolution of the Chills after the Soft Bomb tour, and joined David Kilgour in a loosely organized covers band known as The Pop Art Toasters, which released a self-titled EP in 1994. Shortly thereafter, though, the 'Toasters dissolved, and Phillipps put together another Chills line-up and resumed gigging.
This seemingly constant turnover of personnel is often cited as one of several reasons for the band's lack of consistent "saleability", and is referred to by the local music scene as "the curse of the Chills". The "curse" struck again with the recording of the album Sunburnt in England, in the summer of 1995. Two band members were refused entry into the UK, so session musicians had to be recruited at the last moment. Dave Mattacks of Fairport Convention and XTC's Dave Gregory provided drum and bass work for the album, with Phillipps the only other credited musician (aside from guest keyboards played by producer Craig Leon). This album was issued in early 1996 under the group name Martin Phillipps and The Chills.
After that the band again split, with Phillipps appearing in another one of David Kilgour's bands, the Heavy Eights. Nevertheless, Phillipps continued to recruit new Chills members for live shows, and played at least a few shows as The Chills every year from 1997 on. For much of the late 1990s, though, Phillipps was laid low with hepatitis C, a side effect of drug addiction problems.[4] He released an album of solo home demos (Sketch Book: Volume One) in 1999; the demos themselves dated from between 1988 and 1995. In 2000, a 3-CD box set of Chills live tracks, demos, radio sessions and rarities appeared, entitled Secret Box.
In 2004, an 8-song Chills mini-album called Stand By was issued, the first all-new Chills material in 9 years. Phillipps' album liner notes promised:
"I am preparing to take the band in quite a new direction on the next album. And on that we will begin work shortly."
Despite Phillipps' claim, however, no new Chills album has yet appeared.
In May 2010 the band played two shows in Australia, their first shows outside New Zealand since 1996. Three years later, after another 9-year hiatus from the recording studio, a single newly recorded Chills track called "Molten Gold" was issued. The track was made available as a digital release only, and was released on Martin Phillipps 50th birthday (July 2, 2013).[5]

At Least Over There I Can Have A Flashback
Maybe I can face you
Maybe I owe it to you
I need not concentrate on me
And be so self centered and shit
Maybe I can just park my ass
Here on my bed
Write a rhyme away
Write it down to say
We will play it safe
And not play a game
As often as you'd like
I will join you all when I can
Mississippi's just a river
And money talks where the trip ended
Acid is all gone
But Fremont is perma-fried
And when I live here ev'ry week
And find myself a home
Whether it's here or there
It doesn't have to matter
Berkeley girls, mostly are too young
And the ones who aren't, are aged
So terribly
But in my home town there are broads
My age
At every gas station
And of course I'd have my friends with me
I would have to say
That "Oakland can go lay an egg"
Not moving there
Even if they let me in
If I have to move
Across the street
From my mom's new apartment
Into a newer apartment for myself
Then I guess I just gotta
Say goodbye to the city life
Oh well!
Oh well!
So? whatever!
I will do it
Just to breathe my way
"In a permanent way"
Like all I'm askin' for

A huge financial challenge which many working couples face is the cost of child care. If the only reason that both parents are working is for the extra money the second income provides, you may want to take some time to see if the second income is really providing as much money to the family as you believe. If you are not sure, you can use this calculator to see if the second income is really worth the amount it brings in.
Of course, it's also important to calculate the future income loss of that person being out of the work force if they are planning to re-enter the work force in the future. After doing all the calculations, if you feel that both people working is the right decisio

Divers In Italy Report Finding 4 More Ship Bodies
February 22, 2012 11:35 AM
ROME (AP) — Italian authorities say divers searching the capsized Costa Concordia cruise ship have spotted four more bodies in a submerged section of a passenger deck.
The national civil protection agency, which is monitoring the operation, said the bodies were sighted Wednesday afternoon, a few hours after four other bodies were found.
Because of worsening weather, only three of the bodies were immediately recovered, that of a woman, a man and a child.
The Concordia struck a reef near the Tuscan island of Giglio on Jan. 13 and capsized.
The number of dead and those missing and presumed dead stands at 32.

Fetal Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (F-TAPSE): Evaluation of fetal right heart systolic function with conventional M-mode and STIC M-mode. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 23288668 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher |
Background: Fetal tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (f-TAPSE) is a modified method to measure the vertical movement of the tricuspid valve annulus by M-mode to assess the fetal right heart. It is well-recognized in pediatric and adult cardiology to evaluate right heart function, but has not been widely studied in the fetus. We aimed to study f-TAPSE in the second half of gestation in normal fetuses, to establish reference ranges for this measure, to evaluate the usefulness of STIC-M-mode in obtaining TAPSE, and to compare conventional and STIC M-mode based measures of TAPSE. Methods Gravidae presenting to our centers from 20-38 weeks for targeted organ scans, fetal echocardiography, or 3(rd) trimester fetal surveillance, with structurally normal singleton fetuses and verified gestational age (GA) were recruited. During the booked scan in addition to standard biometry, M-mode was applied to the tricuspid annulus, parallel to the ventricular septum, and the amplitude of the resulting wave was measured. To allow comparison with STIC M-mode, a STIC volume was acquired and saved. In post-processing, the volume was rotated to show an apical 4CV, and f-TAPSE was investigated in similar fashion to conventional M-mode. Two-three measures of TAPSE were taken and the results averaged. Thirty measurements were performed by two observers and inter- and intra-observer variations were calculated. Results 341 fetuses were examined at GA 20-39 weeks. Conventional M-mode f-TAPSE values ranged from a mean of 4.1 mm ( ± 0.85) at 21 weeks to a mean of 8.3 mm ( ± 0.34) at 39 weeks. In 16 cases we were unable to perform the conventional M-mode owing to fetal lie; in 8 cases STIC volumes were found in post-processing to be unsuitable for analysis. STIC f-TAPSE ranged from a mean of 4.2mm ( ± 1.4) at 21 wks to a mean of 8.6 ( ± 1.6) at 39 wks. Scatterplots of f-TAPSE measures obtained with conventional M-mode and with STIC M-mode were created, vs. GA and estimated fetal weight (EFW). In both modalities f-TAPSE increased linearly with GA and with EFW. Good correlation was found between the two methods (Pearson's R(2) = 0.904). No significant difference was found in mean or variance of the distribution or slope of the regression equation. Inter- and intra-observer variation (ICC) in both conventional and STIC f-TAPSE were 0.94 and 0.97, respectively. Conclusion: F-TAPSE in normal fetuses increases over the course of gestation and correlates to EFW. F-TAPSE is easy to perform and available on all ultrasound machines; STIC f-TAPSE is available on machines equipped with this modality and produces similar measures with greater success rate. We suggest the addition of f-TAPSE to fetal right cardiac functional evaluation. Copyright © 2012 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |

Basting in the bundu
Comment on this storyWhen you meet chef Wynand Schoeman, you'll be forgiven for thinking he's a game ranger.
For one, he waxes lyrical about spending time in the great outdoors. And second, he regularly swops his apron for some khakis and heads out into the wild yonder with nothing but a few ingredients, a braai stand and a bag of charcoal.
Wynand has just returned from Botswana, where he spent some time roughing it on the lesser-known tracks of the Kalahari, filming the pilot episode for a television show called Safari Sjef (yes, that's how he spells it), a show he hopes to pitch to a local broadcaster when it's complete.
"I have taken my two greatest loves and combined them into one challenging concept," he says, with palpable passion.
But bush cooking is challenging, he says. "One has to find the right balance between easy-to-manage ingredients and cooking in the bush amongst wild animals. And of course doing all of this with no electrical appliances."
The lack of electricity, which city slickers take for granted, and competing against either the blistering African sun during the day or fading natural light as evening creeps in, are just some of the challenges Wynand says he faces when cooking outdoors. But the intrepid chef says he wouldn't have it any other way – it's all part of the "bundu experience", as he puts it.
Wynand says that when it comes to cooking, most recipes can just as easily be replicated in the bush as in a home kitchen, and it's not as daunting as people seem to believe. The first order of business is to prepare in advance.
So he recommends that all the basics be done at home and to focus on just the cooking and assembling of the dish while you're on your camp-out.
"You should try and do all the slicing and dicing and things that require a lot of rinsing at home and put those ingredients into containers to prepare on site.
"This way you don't have to take so many ingredients or much equipment with you and you will save time, which you can spend with family and friends in the beautiful outdoors."
Most people who camp outdoors think their only food option is a braai, but this is not so, Wynand stresses. "By taking simple South African favourites and giving them a little tweak, or just by using alternative ingredients that are available here, you can take outdoor food to a new level," he explains.
"For example instead of using chicken kebabs try crocodile kebabs or even venison. Or make your own pizzas in the bush by taking a clean 25-litre drum, covering it in mud, letting it dry out and then lighting a fire under or around the drum. This way you have a homemade pizza oven in the bush."
Even the side dishes, he says, can go beyond potato salad.
"By using locally produced ingredients you can prepare a very delicious, and different, root salad," he says.
"Use parsnips, carrots and beetroots with some fresh coriander and splash this with a nice citrus and honey dressing. And you now have something other than a dull side dish."
Wynand also insists that you can create the right setting, when you're dining in the bush – you don't have to rough it entirely. You also don't have to resort to finding patches of ground where you're overrun by creepy crawlies. Take along some inexpensive mobile outdoor furniture and some items from home for a funky African table-setting.
With Safari Sjef Wynand wants to revolutionise the way we cook outdoors, and show audiences the wonder and beauty of Africa.
This is not the only television project that he has up his sleeve. He's also teamed up with award-winning television producer Julie Laurenz to produce a cooking show for KykNet called Sjef's Tafel. It's a show he believes will showcase his culinary expertise and solidify his position as one of the most creative chefs in the industry. It has yet to be set down for screening.
Says Schoeman of this project: "Take an Afrikaans chef, mix in some of SA's best-loved personalities who will entertain in their own homes or favourite locations, and add a dash of drama by getting them to work with me to create a show-stopping dish to wow their guests every week and you've got a recipe for exciting and entertaining television." - Sunday Independent

Also in this section…?
Acrylic on canvas, painted in 2001 Acquired from John Moores 22 in 2002 (No. 2002.39)
Davies featured in the 1997 exhibition 'Sensation' at London's Royal Academy which launched the YBAs (Young British Artists). His text paintings include a series listing artists' names. Starting with Warhol's name in the centre, the rest grew like a flow chart. Davies avoids repeating any single phrase, colour or star shape. As well as conveying a sense of mischief, he has said, I want to combine the sensuality and beauty of formalism with the humour and toughness of conceptualism. He was born in Edinburgh and completed his studies at Goldsmiths College, London in 1996.
On winning the prize, Davies said:
It is going to enable me to not worry about money so much for a while and concentrate on making what I really want to make rather than what I feel is a sensible thing to make, [something] that someone might buy.
On 21 August 2008 he comments:
"Winning the John Moores was a huge honour and a major boost to my career, both psychologically and financially. But additionally for me is the enduring sense, having won, of being put in the company of so many great artists who themselves are prizewinners, and who I admire and look up to so much."

Perfect for both jazz and symphonic use.
The trumpet is one of the most iconic, recognizable and enduring instruments in the long history of music. From the stirring solos crafted by musical legends like Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis, to the distinctive final strains of a symphony performance, the trumpet has been responsible for some of music's most memorable and powerful sounds. Whether you've been playing the trumpet for years or are just starting out, it will provide you with a lifetime of enjoyment. Brass trumpets are notated in the treble clef and most are pitched in the highly popular Bb or occasionally C and E. Bb trumpets are pitched one octave lower than a standard soprano trumpet and are ideal for students and beginners as they are the most straightforward to learn. They are commonly seen in jazz bands, marching bands and orchestras due to their warm tone, bold brassy sound and outstanding intonation. Most musicians say the bass trumpet sounds very similar to a valve trombone.
All trumpets are made of brass but the finish varies. If you're looking for a darker sound, a lacquer finish would be a good choice; silver-plating on the other hand tends to produce a slightly lighter tone. Finally, gold-plating is the rarest and is only available on professional, advanced instruments. Choosing the right material also depends on how you plan on using it and your skill level. A Bb trumpet with a lacquer or silver plated finish is ideal for many musicians. These types of trumpets are more lightweight so you can focus on proper technique and breathing. A more seasoned player may want to invest in a professional grade trumpet made with the most high-grade valves and equipment.
Purchasing a bass trumpet is a big investment and it's important to find the right instrument to best highlight your talents and interests. The Bach B188 Stradivarius Bb Bass Trumpet is a great choice for anyone in an orchestra or marching band due to its clear resonation and projection. On the other hand, the clear bold sound of Cerveny CTR 591PX-O Bb Rotary Bass Trumpet would work well in a jazz band or brass choir.
There are few things that provide the same level of accomplishment as playing a musical instrument. Whether you're surrounded by other brilliant musicians in a symphony ensemble, rocking out on a jazz stage or walking across a football field with your marching band, you'll feel proud and secure knowing you're making beautiful music with your bass trumpet.

Walking / hiking. I am overly concerned about stress on muscles for the long term. It's also good for me. Not exactly a stellar answer. My pup would do well with agility, but we have no place to go within 50 miles. However, I would want to stand in the center and direct. Me running around would just end up with injury. I would like to do nose work with the pup. He's got a nose+ as he has demonstrated and the memory to back it up. No trainers within 50+ miles. I think if I had ONE thing to do with the dog, I would go for obedience competition. Low physical stress, high mental work. Again, nowhere to go within 50 miles. Thus, walking and hiking our local national park 15 miles away. Sigh.

Tracking! It's so fun to be outside in the morning with a bunch of nice people and dogs, letting the dog take the lead, learning to trust your dog and see how awesome they are. Saber is an excellent tracker and seems to love it. Second favorite has been OB. Agility is super fun but my knees are shot so I can't compete (probably). We are just getting trained in dock diving and THAT is super fun too!

Herding for us. Like Lilie says, it's so cool to see him doing what comes naturally and to learn how to partner with him and guide that ability is so fun. Stosh is doing a great job of training me

Also, when walking around the local park, I have her go over the picnic tables. When nobody is around the kiddie playground we climb up the ladders and slide down the chutes. |

Service Dogs of America (tracking, protection, obedience - protection is our fave)
Second would probably be dock diving for me but lure coursing for Nikon. Lure coursing is fun for the dog but kind of annoying for the human!

SDA and SchH. SDA has probably edged ahead of SchH in terms of favorite, but it isn't nearly as readily available. Obedience is my favorite phase of both and always has been, so I also enjoy doing AKC and UKC competitive obedience and rally just to have more fun in obedience.

It makes the dog think, nothing is routine. We never got to try herding but my next dog will definitely try it.

It's Rally.
It is fun for me, fun for the dogs, the people are good sports and not snotty or scornful of people who are new or in different venues. Mostly they help each other out, and have a good time. Not too precise, not too serious, not too upset if we do not get the blue. I have heard of people kicking their dogs in schutzhund trials, and I have watched a person severely punishing a dog in an obedience trial -- nothing is worth that in my opinion. Whether my dog takes blue, red, yellow, white, green or even an NQ, when we come out of the ring, I am praising the dog and happy. I have been to too many obedience/rally trials to see a huge change in personality between the two. I have been in both rings and qualified, earned titles, and taken first place in both. I prefer Rally. There are more dogs, and the people are more human -- I like their attitudes. I have played with sheep, and trained a few in agility, and will probably do tracking some time soon, maybe with Bear -- she has a NOSE. But I LIKE Rally. To me it is my entry with the dog. Once a get a Rally title and a CGC, then I can go on in Rally or go over to obedience -- yuck, or try agility (not to trial, too slow), I have dabbled in conformation too. Whatever I do, I want it to be fun for dog and owner.

This was SO GOOD!
1 can refrigerated pizza crust (I used crescent roll dough and it was amazing)
7 (or so) pieces of string cheese
Pizza sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 4-ounce package slicked pepperoni
Press the dough onto the bottom of a greased 9x13 dish. Place the string cheese along the edges of the dough. Fold the dough over the string cheese, pressing the edges to seal. Top with the pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. Bake at 425 degrees for 18 minutes.

So ive read DS for a while, but loved this thread so much was compelled to register!
I have met very few celebrities, but working in a bar directly across from a theatre we get a fair few come in, esp. over xmas because of pantos etc..
The ones that stick in my mind though...
Lisa Riley, pleasant enough, seemed very down to earth and normal and was happy to pose for photos and sign autographs for folk.
Dont know his name but Bodger and Badger, not what you would expect at all, not to sure how much i can say on here without risking a lawsuit for slander, but he was on abit more than the drink!!
Su Pollard, lving legend. Lovely woman always willing to chat to anyone and sign autograph. She was playing the witch in snow white. And would come in every evening with her troupe of 7 dwarves. Very very surreal to witness! But would proceed to get absolutley smashed every night. Great fun lady though very pleasant and very nice to all the staff. As were the dwarves, they were also lovely.
There was a chap who used to be in eastenders once, i forget his name, but not very pleasant seemed to think he was slightly better than the rest of us.
Dave Benson phillips, again very normal down to earth guy wasnt unpleasant to chat to.
And also Uri Gellar. Great man. Was happy to spend his time bending our cutlery for all who requested it, i did not expect him to be such a nice guy!

Just FYI, the Export to Excel has been broken for some time. It writes out a file, but it appears to be just some HTML capture, not readable by Excel.
Well, that's interesting. When I click on it Excel (2007) has an error pop-up that the file is not of a recognized format or something like that.
Well, since it says Excel, I would think that it should work with Excel as well. It doesn't.
To export contacts go to Contact menu and select Contacts. You have to use the button Export to Excel.I never imported from CSV I just told you what I was thinking it's logical but your observations are right on.

The Active Pediatric and Parental Lifestyle Education (APPLE) Core pilot program takes place Saturday, September 10, 2011, from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. on the Bastyr University campus in Kenmore. Hosted by the Bastyr University Department of Nutrition and Exercise Science and presented in partnership with Premera Blue Cross, the program aims to promote healthy lifestyle choices to overweight and obese children and their families. The one-day event is a pilot program for a week-long day camp for children, which will launch in summer 2012.
"Childhood obesity is one of this country's fastest growing epidemics, and we at Bastyr University want to take steps to improve the health of our nation's youth," said Tiffany Reiss, PhD, APPLE Core director and director of the Exercise Science and Wellness program at Bastyr University. "To do so we need to educate not only the children, but their parents as well. That, in addition to the overall approach to good health we're taking, is what makes this program unique."
Participating families will spend quality time together learning about health, nutrition and exercise in a supportive, educational setting. As part of the day's activities, parents will receive a lesson in how to shop for healthy groceries, and parents and children will learn how to prepare a healthy dinner together as a family. The hands-on, interactive program will promote healthy living strategies to overweight and obese children and their families using a holistic approach that includes:
*Whole-food nutrition education
*Integrative physical activity
*Behavioral therapy
*Health education to promote healthy lifestyle choices
*Family culinary training to prepare healthy, balanced meals
"Premera Blue Cross and Bastyr University have a shared goal of improving the health of our members and our communities," said Neil Kaneshiro, MD, Assistant Medical Director at Premera Blue Cross, who is meeting with families at APPLE Core. "Childhood obesity is a leading cause of chronic lifelong illness, and we are pleased to partner with Bastyr to empower and enable children and families to manage their health. The APPLE Core program will provide tools that help family members support each other in making healthier lifestyle choices."
The APPLE Core program is seeking a dozen local families (12 adults and their children) to participate in this one-day program, free of charge. To be eligible, children should be between the ages of 8 and 12 years old, and parents must complete a registration and health history questionnaire form.
If you or someone you know is interested in participating in this innovative workshop, please email Jeanne Garthwaite at firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject title "APPLE Core." Include your names, address, telephone number, email address and total number of family members who wish to attend. You may also call (425) 602-3260 for more information.
