Lonely Planet – Best in Travel 2015
Nicaragua named the #4 country to visit in 2015 by Lonely Planet.
Here is what they had to say:
Nica neophytes have long been touting Nicaragua as 'the new Costa Rica'. And in the sense that it's cheaper, safer and less developed than its Central American neighbour, we can see why.
Nicaragua is a unique natural playground with a history, culture and cuisine all of its own. Nothing attracts backpackers like a bargain, and intrepid adventure-seekers have secretly been flocking to mainland Latin America's poorest country to surf San Juan del Sur's blissfully uncrowded breaks, 'board' down an active volcano near León, and hike through the cloud forests of Isla de Ometepe, for years. But despite the added draws of Nicaragua's quaint colonial (albeit bullet-holed) towns, riotous folkloric fiestas and enchantingly undeveloped Caribbean islands, the stigma of its war-torn past has traditionally kept the wider travel community at bay.
Its status as the birthplace of volcano boarding is the first hint that Nicaragua is an adventurist's dream. Try your luck at beating the km/hr record flying down steaming Cerro Negro on a custom-built sled near León, Central America's oldest city, or strap on your hiking boots and attempt the summit of Isla de Ometepe's majestic Volcan Mederas. A largely untapped surfing destination, Nicaragua also boasts one of the world's few remaining coastlines where you can routinely get the lineups all to yourself – if you're willing to sniff them out. As for the diving, the barrier reef system fringing the Corn Islands is one of the Caribbean's most pristine.
Officially it's eight days of festivities starting in late September, but the usually sleepy town of Masaya stretches out the feast of San Jerónimo, Nicaragua's most famous fiesta, to three months. Fireworks, marimbas, parades, drag queens and more make it one to remember.

NY Times: Nicaragua/ San Juan del Sur is a must see in 2013
Nicaragua in the news again! Nicaragua named 3rd of 46 must see places in 2013
If the name Oliver North means anything to you, there's a good chance that Nicaragua doesn't jump to your mind when you think of a relaxing, high-end, spa-filled vacation. For the past 30 years, the country has been fighting its image as a land of guerrilla warfare and covert arms deals. At first, only travel writers took note; over the past several years, various publications have declared the country the next great destination. However, if the booming eco-lodge business is any indication, Nicaragua's moment might finally have arrived. In and around the coastal towns of San Juan del Sur and Maderas, new lodges are cropping up. The food scene is getting a high-end makeover as well, with top chefs opening restaurants. The most exciting ones — El Segundo, La Casserole, Ciudad Lounge and La Finca y El Mar — are proof that Nicaragua is becoming an impressive food destination in its own right.

Residents of north Chennai waiting with baited breath for Budget announcement
The Royapuram Railway Station, which was once "Madras Central" station, today remains a shadow of its glorious past.
The 156-year-old station building, originally marked by arches, ionic pillars and high rise ceilings, is now covered in graffiti and in a state of disrepair. Access to the station is extremely restricted and many younger Royapuram residents even seem to be unaware of the existence of the station.
After the inauguration of India's first railway line in 1853, the Royapuram station was declared open by Governor Lord Harris in June 1856. On the inaugural day, two services – Royapuram to Ambur and Royapuram to Tiruvallur – were operated.
The station, the oldest in south India, resembled a Regency mansion in a quasi-classical style of the Renaissance Era. However, it lost its premier status in 1907 when the present Central Station became the city's main terminal point. With this, its decline began, even though the station, even now, is spread over around 70 acres of prime land.
Still, all is not lost. Of late, a renewed attempt is being made by sections of Royapuram residents for giving the station a fresh lease of life. These people feel that Royapuram can at least become the railway hub of north Chennai.
Thanks to their persistent efforts and representations to the Railway authorities, the Railway Board has formed a special committee to examine their demand. On January 20, the committee inspected the Royapuram station and it would present its report to the Board soon.
A.T.B. Bose, Co-convenor, Tamil Nadu Rail Passengers' Right Tribune (TNRPRT), points to the availability of open space that the railway station has. Strongly arguing that the station can be converted into the hub of north Chennai, he says that his organisation has done a comparative study of the availability of space in several railway stations in the country.
Royapuram ranks second in space availability with 2,46,000 square metres, next to the Howrah station in Kolkata. There are other factors supporting the revival of Royapuram such as the location of the station at the heart of the expanded Chennai Corporation. As the erstwhile northern municipalities of Manali and Kathivakkam are now part of the Corporation, Royapuram, if made the hub, would be closer to people in these areas than Tambaram on the southern outskirts.
About 10 years ago, a bid was made to revive the Royapuram station. It led to the renovation of the station at a cost of Rs.35 lakh. Addressing a function to mark the inauguration of the renovated station in October 2005, Union Minister of State for Railways R. Velu said that railway engineers, during their restoration work, had taken care not to alter the heritage features of the building. "After that nothing was done. Several other buildings on the station premises are in a neglected condition," says a resident V. Gopalakrishnan.
Historian K.R.A. Narasaiah says that any restored heritage building should be put to proper use and should not remain a museum piece. "When they [Railway authorities] can maintain old railway engines, why not a building?" he wonders, adding that the Justice Padmanabhan committee, constituted by the State Government, has identified Royapuram station one among the 800 heritage structures.
An official of the Southern Railway says that all details have been furnished to the committee. If Royapuram is to be made a passenger hub, major changes are required. More buildings need to be constructed. Additional tracks and platforms too are necessary. All these involve a huge investment.
Would Railway Minister announce in this year's Budget the revival of the Royapuram station? This question is of great importance to the residents of north Chennai.

When we leave Iraq?
Not according to bin Laden...
He says there were two solutions to stopping the Iraq war. "One is from our side, and it is to escalate the fighting and killing against you. This is our duty, and our brothers are carrying it out," bin Laden said.
"The second solution is from your side. ... I invite you to embrace Islam," he said. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070908/...in_laden_video
In other words, the war will end when we are all dead or when we are all converted to Islam.
And some of you guys still believe this is a war over oil.

This set of sawhorses is a great deal, especially when you get them on sale. I have used them when building a jungle gym for my kids, but when there not in use for home projects they are used as stands for horse saddles. They work very well for the money, and I would recommend them highly. Just realize they are light weight and not meant for scaffolding, nor would I trust them in that capacity!

I used both of these to support a door for a table to store things. With less than 300lbs. on it, both sawhorses bowed and collapsed after several weeks. I will use steel from now on.If used as intended I could see them as fine for very light, quick projects. The 350lb. capacity is very misleading. I do not think even 100lbs. is true, not stable enough if using power tools.

Great Product
By Igore 72103
from Little Rock Arkansas
Great for QUICK LIGHT HOME use,such as electric mitre saw. These are not for heavy duty use. I think the load ratings are a bit much. I will get another set.
Great for plywood and doors
By MagicBill
from Undisclosed
I have a set of these that I bought a few months ago. I'm not sure about the 350 pound rating as I don't think they would handle it. But they do a fine job of handling plywood sheets and wood doors for staining or painting.I also placed my 32in wide x 4 ft long plywood modules for my model railroad on these sawhorses. One thing I noticed is that for good stability, these sawhorses need to be placed on a level surface and they need to be opened fully for maximum support. All in all, they do the job for what I needed to use them for and are great value.
Decent product
By Chad
These little sawhorses are not bad, i used them for fabricating exhaust and even though they are plastic did not have any issues while welding on them.That said, they are plastic and i wouldn't actually try putting 350lbs on them but for the price they are sturdy enough within reason, they fold up flat and don't take up any space so you could easily hang them on the wall.

These saw horses are very strong for plastic and very light and small making them easy to store. would buy again, great product

Who would have thought these lightweight and flimsy things would have lasted this long. Easy to store... easy to carry... use them properly and they will last for years. Mine have.

Great for what they're rated for.
By Ed the Fixer
from Fox Lake, IL
I primarily use these to support plywood & lumber to measure & cut in my garage. While I haven't tested 350 lbs. each, they work well to support light-to-moderate-weight projects at a nice height too. They seem stable on level concrete floor, but I cannot attest to their stability on uneven or earthen ground. The flimsy quality is mostly noticed if you're moving plywood around. The horses grip the wood very well & sometimes twist the horses a bit if pushed certain ways. Or if you're putting too much side pressure on the lumber such as when reaching over plywood & leaning across. If there's not much weight, the horses & materials will shift, which would be the case for any horses not mounted to the floor.The compact storage is also a great plus. Having limited space for my work area & tools, their very compact folding size is critical. It's allowed me to get several of these horses without designating an unacceptably large space to store them when not in use.Lastly, I really like the fact that they're plastic in case I cut into one w/ my saw(s). Which is much better on the blade & safer than cutting into steel. Whether it's admitted or not, everybody cuts into their saw horses at least a few times. :-)

350 Lbs???
By Thomas the Cabinet man
from Grand Junction, Colorado
These DO NOT hold 350 lbs. I stacked 2-4x8 3/4"sheets of plywood and 2-2x4 96" pine studs(150lbs total) on a pair of these and the legs snapped like twigs
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Frank or Yolande purchased this villa in 1998
Decided to have a second home in Tobago so that all of my family could enjoy it during the holidays and other occasions. We all love going to the nearby beach at Grange, a wide sandy beach with clear water to swim when it is calm. There is also good snorkeling at Mt Irvine. We are ideally located near four beaches, close to the airport and Scarborough. Can't think of a better location in Tobago with a panoramic seaview of Buccoo Reef and the Caribbean Sea.
Enjoy a peaceful vacation and spectacular views of the Caribbean sea to the front. On afternoons, we sit and take in the fresh cool breeze that comes through the house.
Staying at Villa Nirvana is much more than the perfect vacation away from home. The villa is well equiped with all necessary amenities. It is very clean and tidy and well kept. The private rooms are spacious with comfortable beds and ensuite bathrooms. Each room provides a spectacular view of the ocean and Buccoo Reef. The plunge pool is just a step out from the main level bedroom and living/family room and is a great for the whole family (any ages) to sit around and relax.
We have stayed at Villa Nirvana on several occassions and always felt safe in this secured environment.
We highly recommend taking a vacation at Villa Nirvana in Tobago.

This is a great villa to stay in! Our entire stay was very nice. It started with Frank meeting us at the Trinidad airport. He was very helpful with directions and explaining the area attractions to fit our wants. He acted like he was our personal travel agent and really helped make our vacation a success. We asked about exchanging money, and since it was a weekend, he personally assisted us with exchanging enough money to make it until the banks opened on Monday. He even wanted us to call him when we arrived at his villa to make sure we arrived okay-even though we wouldn't get there until midnight.
The villa was located with the best view compared to others in the area. The rooms were nice and well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed. There was a nice supply of coolers and chairs for beach visits.
The area has plenty of beaches, restaurants, and bars. We liked a local kitchen on the corner with excellent chicken roti and local meals. The Fish Pot is close too (but the sign is down-ask around) and it has great fresh seafood.
Overall, a great place to stay!!
A group of six of us had the pleasure of staying at this villa. The location was easily accessible from the airport and also within walking distance to numerous beaches.
There were a few bars and food places as well. All in all a great visit and we would definitely return.
This was our first time in Tobago and we loved it! The accommodation added to our enjoyment. Frank met us at the airport in Trinidad with directions and keys. No problems there. The setting was wonderful as it was rural and adjacent to a bird sanctuary. The bedrooms were sumptuous with separate bathrooms, AC and in our room a king-size bed! The kitchen was well laid out with all the necessary pot and pans needed for meals. The view of the Caribbean and reefs from the patio was beautiful. You could enjoy the view while relaxing in the pool! There was plenty of room for the four of us and we could have easily handled six with no trouble. Lastly, the housekeeper every other day kept us in fresh towels, made beds and clean floors.
We certainly plan on returning to Tobago and would not hesitate to stay here again.
This villa is nicely situated at the top of a ridge to catch all the breezes. It was very comfortable for 4 adults and 1 child, with 3 bedrooms each with own bath. It's a short walk down a hill to local shops and several good restaurants: The Fish Pot and the Seahorse are both highly recommended! It's about 15 minutes walk downhill to the beach, but the uphill climb was taxing for elderly parents. The owners were very helpful in delivering keys and providing detailed directions, and we found the villa clean and well-appointed.
Found out about this place by word of mouth; a friend of ours had stayed at one of the other villas and recommended the location.
Very pleased to report the place is beautiful and clean, with all the amenities you would expect. The owner and staff are very pleasant, efficient, and accommodating. Nights are comfortable with the cool night air on the mountain, though we did need the AC some nights. Beds and baths were spotless and everything worked.
The real attraction is the serenity and natural beauty of the setting. The westward view is amazing, with clear line of sight to the blue of the Buccoo Reef and Pigeon Point. You can even tell the height of the tide by how much of the reef is visible from the verandah! Walk out on the large lawn to check out the view of hills, sky and sea.
As a hobbyist photographer I found something amazing to shoot almost everywhere I pointed the lens - a fiery red flambouyant tree at the front, bougainvillea and hibiscus flowers, an incredible variety of bird life in the area, and a breathtaking western view of the island and ocean. We ended most days' adventures with drinks in the plunge pool, watching the sunset slowly glorify the entire sky.
About the pool: it is a superb feature as it's plenty large enough for socialising, but small enough that the sun warms it up by the time evening arrives to make it agreeably warm. Then overnight it cools to be refreshing for the hot part of the next day! It gets cleaned daily - though we never saw or heard the pool guy, he was definitely doing his job.
After the sun sets the stars come out. The place is remote enough that there is little light pollution. My kids couldn't believe how many stars there were - far more than they ever get to see in the city.
Some quick extra notes:
- You will need a vehicle as the villa is at the top of a considerable hill. Once down the hill though, nothing is particularly far away.
- There are many many beautiful beaches in Tobago, but oddly enough our favourite turned out to be Grange Beach, literally two minutes down the road.
- The forest is close and as a result the bugs come out in the early evening and morning. I'd recommend bringing some sort of repellent.
To sum up: Highly recommended, unique, and a perfect place to get the 'relax and recharge' part of the vacation covered in between busy days of sightseeing.
Villa Nirvana is ideally located close to the Grafton Bird Sanctuary, 1 mile from Mt Irvine. We are just 15 minutes from the airport and the Inter Island ferry port. At nearby'Triangle Square' you will find restaurants,local food outlets,fresh fruit stall, ATM and bars.
We are walking distance from the Grafton/Stonehaven and Mt Irvine beaches.

Patient Comments: Menopause - Symptoms
What symptoms did you experience with approaching menopause?
Comment from: sexy runningirl, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: April 26
I believe I have been going through perimenopause since I was about 38 years old. It has gotten progressively worse within the last two years. I am now 47. One month I had two periods; another month I bled for the whole month. With a couple other cycles, I bled for two days with a four-day break. The moods carry over even if I am not bleeding at the time: I'm depressed, emotional, and crying. The next minute I can be laughing! My cure is lots of running. I also take tons of vitamins, like B-complex, B12 shots, prenatal vitamins, omega 3's, calcium, potassium, and magnesium.
Comment from: CJ, Female (Patient) Published: September 04
I am 46 years old, and for the past 10 years, I have had night sweats. Within the past year, it has gotten really bad. I wake up almost every night with my shirt wet. I also have to urinate in the middle of the night. For the last year my periods have become very irregular. I may skip a month or have two or three periods in a month. My periods are lasting longer now, up to eight or nine days. I will stop for two or three days, then start again.
Comment from: Sweatin' in Texas, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: August 28
The symptoms I am experiencing include life-sucking, ear-burning, disgusting, perspiration-laden hot flashes, day and night; heightened emotions -- I've never been an emotional, teary woman, but I feel frequently on the verge of tears; and I've ballooned up 20 pounds in two months. I'm still having occasional periods, and I was told at age 35 that I was premenopausal. I'm now 45; I started my period at age 12. Aren't I too young for menopause? Can it be induced by stress? I've had a very stress-filled year.
Comment from: Kathy, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: August 28
I am only going on 44. I had a partial hysterectomy in the year 2001. I am now experiencing hot flashes and the chills. I for the first time in 20 years have gained 15 pounds. My breasts are larger than ever. My sex drive has increased dramatically.
Comment from: Netty, 35-44 Female Published: August 28
I'm 44 and still have periods although they are getting heavier and less time in between. I start feeling bloated, emotional and angry, even aggressive about 10 days before I start to bleed. I have night sweats and bouts of depression, and I have been tested and my general practitioner. He has said everything is normal!
Comment from: mesospoiled37, 35-44 Female Published: August 26
I am 40 years old, and I would have to say since I was 33, I have been perimenopausal. It has really hit hard over the last six months. I have been having anxiety, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, no energy, heavier than my normal menstrual cycle, breast tenderness, and a low, if any, sex drive. It hasn't been easy or fun. But I am trying to make the best of it. I am very lucky to have a man who understands everything I am going through. Oh, and I have the facial hair that keeps coming back.
Published: July 30
I experienced about six months of severe PMS that would last for 10 days each time. Then my periods stopped, and I've only had a couple during the last six months. I had chronic insomnia, night sweats, tiredness, and mood swings resulting in my doctor prescribing fluoxetine. My first doctor never acknowledged my symptoms, but my present doctor thankfully has. I'm being reviewed soon and HRT has been suggested.
Published: July 09
18 months my temperature went up and stayed up and 2 months age my periods stopped. The worse part is not being able to focus/think and mood swings. I am always hot and moody to tears for no reason.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Roenicke thinking about a roster change
Manager Ron Roenicke said he'd eventually like to change the balance of the roster that currently features a four-man bench and an eight-man bullpen.
"We talked about that today," Roenicke said Monday. "We'll see how we get through this series and maybe the next one. We'd like to get back to a five-man bench."
The upcoming schedule gives the skipper some latitude. After seven home games against Washington and Colorado, the Brewers will have a pair of off-days sandwiching at two-game series at Toronto July 1 and 2. Roenicke said he hoped the two off-days would help sort out the pitching staff. At that point the Brewers could swap out a reliever for a bench player.
"If the bullpen is good by then, hopefully we can make the change," he said.

Five games with online multiplayer that actually made me give a damn about online multiplayer
In my younger years, I had a rather antisocial aspect to my personality. That sentiment carried over into my gaming habits. Associating with other people, even in an online game, did not seem like a worthwhile prospect. What follows are some of the games that brought me out of my shell, so to speak, and helped me to build a social tolerance to all the pot-smoking nimrods that play online games.

What sounds like the intro to a bad joke turned out to be the beginning of a terrific evening. The restaurant was La Colonia, a sweet, bright and tidy year-old mom-and-pop on Northeast Central. Mom comes from Ecuador, pop hails from Colombia, and their extensive menu of home cooking covers both South American kitchens. It's simple, bounteous, and delivered (Ellie, from Cuenca, will be your server) with a smile that makes streetlights unnecessary on this stretch of Central.
Greedy for as many tastes as we could muster, we went for two combination platters, both delivered on a bed of flaky rice. The Bandeja Paisa ($16) covered the mound with a slender, tender slice of top sirloin, along with a lengthy link of Colombian sausage, which tasted, thrillingly, like a good chorizo. And another length of chicharron, aka cracklings, too wickedly salty and fatty to finish sans an ambulance at the curb. But it's balanced by a section of sweet plantain, sweeter than its banana lookalike by far, and a creamy avocado half. Plus an ever-so-gently fried egg. Plus stewed beans, modestly heightened by onion and tomato. And an ultra-delicious corn cake, tender as a baking powder biscuit. Ellie delivers a dish of hot sauce for the daring Go ahead: It's terrific — a blend of habaneros with tomatoes to smooth the delicious burn.
That would have been enough for two of us right there, but hey — so we also divided the Bandera platter ($13), plated with dual heaps of stew — tender, long-braised goat on the bone and beef tripe. They're joined by a mound of diced, soft and tender fried sweet plantains, like potatoes gone to heaven, and a couple of giant shrimp, ceviche style, ultrasweet and fresh and full of texture.
Other offerings run the gamut from empanadas to lots of chicken, fish and beefsteak renditions — and guinea pig (which I've enjoyed in Ecuador), if you order it a day ahead — starting at $8.49. I'm coming back for the tuna-yucca soup, myself.
The café offers a minimal, forget-about-it wine list, a couple of beers (we drank Negro Modelo) and, best, an utterly amazing catalog of soft drinks, some from Ecuador, others from Colombia. For dessert, we tried, and loved, a couple of unfamiliar flavors: mine, a juice frothed with (your choice) milk or water. I chose tomate de arbol (translated as wine tree tomato), showcasing a sweet, slightly sharp, citrusy flavor. Loved it. My adventurous pal went for the Ecuadorian oatmeal drink — another thick, soda fountain-like treat that gave off a lemon-lime overtone. Yum again.
Décor here is blessedly free from kitsch, simply a couple of paintings of fellow South Americans at work, a quiet TV humming in Spanish and just as quiet native music. A flurry of Spanish from the Latin families spilling from adjoining booths added all the "décor" the sweet venue needed.

Modest Mouse
The Lonesome Crowded West
TAKING A LOOK over Modest Mouse's deep discography, one starts to wonder whether these Seattle boys have ever had "real" jobs. This is their second LP (and their second one to clock in around 70 minutes); they have two EPs, which are as long as most other bands' albums; and they're rapidly approaching the release of their fourth and fifth singles. With that many songs (59 by my count), it's hard to envision a punkish band like Modest Mouse managing to keep their music from sounding stale. Surprisingly, they keep it new. No longer can they be pegged as a second cousin of contemporaries like Built to Spill, or as the mere offspring of influences like the Pixies. These bands are obviously relevant reference points, but MM has certainly come into its own. By the 10th song on their new record they haven't even flirted with that perfunctory "OK, I get the point" feeling one gleans from so many (long) indie records. They do, however, flirt with the familiar feeling of comfort that comes through bathing one's self in warm, shimmery guitar tricks and Jeremy Green's brilliant drumming.
Equal parts grace and vitriol, Modest Mouse displays a new, slightly more aggressive side on The Lonesome Crowded West than on any work to date. Singer Isaac Brock spits out rabid, self-effacing, melancholic phrases ("I drink away/the part of the day/I can't sleep away") while the music stomps and stammers in a vulnerable reverb haze. Sometimes reminiscent of the bastard child of a ferocious Joy Division, with vocals suggesting a more patient version of art-noisers Circus Lupus, The Lonesome Crowded West occasionally veers, ever so slightly, into metal-ville, especially on the rocker "Shit Luck." Yet, the Mouse obviously don't have Judas Priest in their musical vocabulary--there's no risk of the band getting too wanky. And yes, there are plenty of two-minute rockers thrown in for the kiddies. Here's to hoping the boys don't ever get those real jobs.

How to spec your Escort for DPS in STF's

A quick question, does anyone know what weapon type it is that the gates use on STFs that cut right through my shields and hull, I don't even quite know what is happening but suddenly my shield will go down and my hull just gets eaten up by some beam or similar leaving me to either run away or get destroyed pretty quickly.
It doesn't happen that often as I try to stay away from gates when on my own or fire from long range, but when it does it really throws me off.

I have included to the original post, a grounhd and space build for people just reaching VA and starting with STF. This doesn't include the reputation gear. All of the equipment can be gotten from missions or via the exchange inexpensively. This will allow people to start STF's with a build that will keep them alive until they get their MACO/assimilated gear.
A good idea, but for some reason that build isn't loading for me at all, your original one works fine but this new one just gets stuck on the "loading" bit on my pc or phone and never actually loads anything.

Fall Mantel Decorating Ideas
Decorate your mantel this fall using these ideas inspired by real homes.
By Elizabeth Jensen
- view all thumbnails
A few mini pumpkins and a glass container filled with seedpod vase filler, pinecones, and faux leaves can give your house the autumn touch it needs. Displayed above the collection, a striking black mirror instantly sets the fall mood. Meghan MacLauchlan (littlemacshack.blogspot.com) recommends using items on your mantel that are meaningful to you. Her Shel Silverstein books are constants through every season.
To get inspiration and materials for your fall mantel, Kate Riley (centsationalgirl.com) suggests going on a nature walk. Pick up branch clippings, pinecones, acorns, and smooth stones, and give them a home on your mantel. Displaying a tall vase and an apothecary jar is a perfect way to show off your finds. A complementing display on a coffee table is an easy way to carry on the fall theme.
Glass containers are simple and versatile decorations that can be staples on your mantel all year long. Alissa Ditta (33shadesofgreen.blogspot.com) switches out the filler every season. Inspiration for her fall mantel came from natural elements such as acorns, leaves, and fruit.
Incorporate your family into your fall mantel by using pictures of their silhouettes. Simply trace their shadows onto black cardstock, trim, and place in an oversize frame. Kellie Tate (thisblessednest.blogspot.com) painted her frame gray and added a hint of pumpkin-orange color. She also covered a foam board with several sheets of scrapbook paper before adding the silhouettes. Painted pumpkins finish her autumn theme.
Liz Latham (hoosierhomemade.com) created her festive fall garland by hot-gluing a variety of elements onto a piece of twine. She started with the heaviest pieces first (the Indian corn) and worked her way down to the lightest bits (the acorns). An oversize iron star and a cute scarecrow finish off the look.
Wrap potted plants in burlap to give them an autumnal and natural touch. Kim Nichols (savvysouthernstyle.blogspot.com) accented her burlap-wrapped plants with faux branches she had on hand and a bird she found at her local crafts store.
A combination of real and faux foliage looks beautiful on a fall mantel. Becca Bertotti (adventuresindecorating1.blogspot.com) created her flower arrangements by tucking real and fake branches into a vase and adding pheasant feathers and burlap in the base. To create the garland, Becca strung various sizes and colors of wood crafts beads onto wire and hung it at various heights. A few tucked-in lights add glow.
Dried pumpkins and gourds (available at your local crafts store) are great accessories to have during the fall season. They look fantastic and you can keep them year after year. Myquillyn Smith (thenester.com) mixed the dried gourds with big, warty pumpkins from her local farm store. For extra interest, she used yellow and gold faux foliage mixed with pheasant feathers.
Mary Jean Taylor (onenuttygirl.com) used her family photo as the focus for her fall mantel. She found the frame and letters in a salvage store and finished her mantel with other goodies picked up over the years. As an interesting touch, she placed an old paperback book with the pages folded back in a hurricane vase. Branches tucked inside the pages add a touch of nature.
Faux fall items can be used in a variety of ways year after year. Becky Rapinchuk (cleanmama.blogspot.com) kept her mantel simple by placing miniature pumpkins and gourds atop oversize leaves. She filled a glass vase with crystals and gave it a touch of autumn by putting a leaf on top. Cattails in an ivory vase finish off the autumnal mantel.
Simple and fun crafts can make your mantel look great. Re-create Gail Funderbunk's (gailsdecorativetouch.blogspot.com) pumpkin topiary by applying crackle medium to a fake orange pumpkin. Let it dry and paint white. Insert pretty faux greens into an urn and display the pumpkin using a wooden dowel.

The Who are out performing their classic 1973 rock opera Quadrophenia on a tour that came to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn last night (11/14), the first of five NYC-area dates that stretch into the new year (actually six if you count the just-announced Sandy benefit). Tickets are still on sale for those other shows, and pictures and the setlist from the Brooklyn show are in this post. .
Someone at the Greensboro show wrote:
"Concluding Quadrophenia with a stellar "Love Reign O'er Me," the encore was a string of greatest hits which ignited the crowd. "Baba O' Reilly" had the whole coliseum on it's feet reliving teenage wasteland days. Next, Townsend's guitar laid out the opening notes to "Pinball Wizard" and Daltrey seized the vocals. Daltrey was excellent on the classic "Behind Blue Eyes" while manhandling an acoustic guitar. "Who Are You" rocked the place once more before bringing the house down with "Won't Get Fooled Again." As scenes from 9/11 flashed on the video screens the power and emotion of the music could not have been clearer." [CL]Full NYC setlist and more pictures, opener Vintage Trouble included, below...

The Who schedule 'Quadrophenia' tour including 4 NYC-area shows; 'Quadrophenia' film getting Criterion edition in August
by Fred Pessaro // BBG
One of the most powerful elements of The Who was the collision of four distinct forces of nature into a single band: Keith Moon's insane drum fills, Entwistle's spiderlike fingers on the bass, Townsend's amazing melodicism and guitar windmills, and Daltrey's uncanny abilities as a frontman. Half of those members have moved to another plane, but we can still look forward to seeing Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend trot out all of their classic mods-vs-rockers 1973 album, Quadrophenia, as part of a round of US dates that starts in late 2012 and extends into the new year for the LP's 40th anniversary.
The tour includes four NYC area shows: 11/14 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, 12/5 at Madison Square Garden, 12/6 at Prudential Center in Newark, and 2/21 at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. Tickets for all shows go on fan presale on Friday (7/20) at 10AM, AMEX presale on Monday (7/23) at noon and regular sale on 7/27 at 10AM. All tour dates are below.
You may remember that Roger Daltrey toured all by his lonesome, performing Tommy in its entirety last year.
In perhaps more exciting news, the 1979 film adapation of Quadrophenia is getting a deluxe DVD/Blu-Ray edition from the celuloid-loving folks at Criterion who will release it on August 28. It features a newly-restored digital transfer of the uncut version, plus a new 5.1 surround mix (as well as the original stereo mix) plus a host of other cool bonus stuff which is listed below. The Rhino DVD from 2001 has been out of print for ages. If you've never seen Quadrophenia (and you should, it's great) and don't want to wait for the pristine Criterion edition, you can stream the whole movie below via YouTube, as well as listen to the album.

Key weekly thought -
Getting preapproved for a loan is the first step in buying a home. Many times I will get asked to show properties when a buyer hasn't talked to a lender yet. Most people don't really understand the steps in the home buying process.
Step 1. - Get Preapproved
Tell the lender where you want your house payment to be with property taxes and homeowners insurance. It is important to find out about the different types of loans. Are you a Veteran? A VA loan is the best type of loan available. A VA loan can be used over continuously, many people think it can only be used once.
Did you know that certain areas allow for an agricultural loan called a USDA loan? The USDA loan is a no money down loan. It is the only no money down loan besides a VA loan that is available today. There is a map outlining qualifying USDA loan areas, you may be surprised!
Does a home you are interested in need too many repairs? An FHA203K rehab loan may be just what you're looking for. This loan allows you to borrow for repairs made to the home and roll it into your mortgage.
Are you a first time home buyer? Many areas have first time home buyer down payment assistance programs. Your lender will know what is available in your area and can let you know what the qualifications are.
1. Getting preapproved let's you know what price to keep your home search under.
2. Preapproval will help narrow your search criteria to homes that will fit the types of financing you are considering.
3. Preapproved home buyers are in a better position to negotiate when they do find the right home.
4. Many sellers are requesting that only lender qualified buyers view their homes.
5. The loan process and ultimately closing on your new home will go much quicker if you are preapproved.
As you can see a knowledgeable, trustworthy and dependable lender is KEY to starting the home buying process.

Christmas creep is a merchandising phenomenon in which merchants and retailers exploit the commercialized status of Christmas by moving up the start of the holiday shopping season.[1] The term was first used in the mid 1980s.[2] The Christmas season begins with Advent between November 27 and December 3 and lasts through Christmastide, which officially starts December 25 and lasts 12 days.
It is associated with a desire of merchants to take advantage of particularly heavy Christmas-related shopping well before Black Friday in the United States and before Halloween in Canada. The term is not used in the UK and Ireland, where retailers call Christmas the "golden quarter", that is, the three months of October through December is the quarter of the year in which the retail industry hopes to make the most profit.[3] It can apply for other holidays as well, notably Valentine's Day, Easter and Mother's Day. The motivation for holiday creep is for retailers to lengthen their selling interval for seasonal merchandise in order to maximize profit and to give early-bird shoppers a head start on that holiday. However, it is not clear that this practice has been consistently beneficial for retailers.[4]
In United States retail, the phenomenon was pioneered by stores like Sam's Club,[citation needed] which introduced early Christmas sales to support resellers. The hardware chain Lowe's followed in 2000 with a policy of setting out Christmas trees and decorations by October 1, mainly because the Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays do not provide enough merchandise or sales to fill retail space between the end of the summer season and the Christmas season[citation needed]. In 2002–2003, Christmas creep accelerated markedly with retailers such as Wal-Mart, J. C. Penney, and Target beginning their Christmas sales in October.[5] In 2006 the National Retail Federation, an industry trade group, said that 40 percent of consumers planned to start their holiday shopping before Halloween.
In Australia, shops have been known to have their Christmas merchandise available as early as late September, because Halloween is not widely celebrated. The department store, David Jones Limited even begins selling Christmas merchandise at the start of September.
Seasonal creep is not limited to the northern hemisphere winter holiday season and other popular holidays and observances, but is also becoming more common for merchandise associated with a general season of the year. Advertising for winter-, spring-, summer-, and fall-related goods generally now begins midway through the previous season. For example, many supermarkets in the United Kingdom begin selling Easter eggs even before Christmas, and in the USA, stores begin selling 4th of July products before Easter, and the next major holiday is marketed as soon as or before the previous has ended.
Christmas creep has also been cited as a phenomenon in radio broadcasting. Prior to the early 21st century, radio stations commonly began adding some Christmas songs to their regular playlists in early December and then playing an all-Christmas playlist on December 24 and 25[citation needed], but in 2001 some stations began playing an exclusively Christmas format for the entire month of December. In subsequent years, such stations have commonly shifted to an all-Christmas playlist after Thanksgiving, or even several weeks earlier[citation needed]. A handful of American radio stations[who?] have, since 2006, earned a reputation for regularly switching to Christmas music on November 1, the day after Halloween; as of 2011, this has not become the norm for most of North America (mid-November is the typical start time for Christmas music on most radio stations in the United States and Canada[citation needed]), and it is still extremely rare to hear stations (other than those pulling a stunt between changing formats) change to Christmas music in October.
Some of the channels in the television U.S. cable channel chain Music Choice begin playing Christmas music continually from the end of Halloween up until the first week of January.
This market trend is parodied in It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown where the characters go shopping at a department store and most of the gang are disgusted that it has its Christmas displays up in the middle of April, including a sign forewarning that there were only a mere 246 days left until Christmas. Folksinger Loudon Wainwright III also satirizes the phenomenon with "Suddenly It's Christmas", a song on his 1993 live album Career Moves.

"I love eating and talking about food. I've been a vegetarian for seven years. But after seeing a friend who looked amazing and had recently gone vegan, I thought, What's holding me back?"
"Now I'm 95 percent vegan. Sometimes you're at a birthday party and there's cake and...you know, you can't resist. My veganism is based on a concern about where my food is coming from. In my perfect world, I'd have webcams wherever food is processed so I'd know how clean it is."
"I'll never eat meat again, because I look and feel better without it, but if I could raise my own cows and chickens and produce my own eggs and cheese, it would be awesome! The food would taste better, because the animals would be happy."

Majestic Sun SalonsRead MoreHollywood Tans' proprietary booths and technologies produce consistent skin tones without the hassle of baking in the sun. The studio boasts roughly 15 upright, sanitary booths that allow customers to do jumping jacks as they build bronze in 8–11 minutes. For those who prefer to shade sans rays, Mystic spray vestibules banish pallor by misting pelts in aloe-rich custom shades that last up to seven days, and a proprietary line of tanning lotions helps maintain and maximize color between visits.1301 Skippack Pike Rt. 202 & Rt. 73Blue Bell, PA US
Planet Beach Contempo Spa Blue BellRead MoreA wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas—its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries—Planet Beach Contempo Spa is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the spa and tanning services. Traditional tanning booths and beds are available, and the Mystic spray tan provides an instant and evenly applied glow. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the Hydro-Derma Fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam in order to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth and massage muscles. Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning that members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.1738 DeKalb PikeBlue Bell, PA US

Like Shaplin's Pugilist Specialist, the dialogue offers a barrage of profanity and profundity, often very funny. On the train ride to the castle, characters take turns bemoaning life. "What's the point?" complains tennis pro Walchak (Quinn Bauriedel). "What did oxygen ever do for me anyway?" In the next compartment, Maya (Sarah Sanford) laments, "My body is a difficult curriculum. My lovers are failing students." It's the rare play that conveys existentialist malaise, but isn't itself dull or depressing. Pig Iron succeeds.
Much of this success stems from the physical precision with which the actors undertake their roles. Most of the cast members have trained at the École Jacques Lecoq and can boast wonderful bodily range and control. Sanford seems to exude ennui from every pore, while Geoff Sobelle's alchemist somehow combines the sinuous and the tubercular. Bauriedel's Walchak and James Sugg's idiot ball boy (of whom Walchak asks, "Shouldn't you be chained to a wall in a dungeon somewhere?") also deserve note.
In some ways, an adaptation of Gombrowicz is a peculiar choice for a company so rooted in physical contact and collaboration. The recently deceased Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz has written of Gombrowicz that "his work is unique in the twentieth century, because there is not a single description of copulation in it. . . . There is also an absence of touching." Though Pig Iron portrays the absurdity, the intellectual inquiry, and the sad and frantic comedy that have sparked renewed interest in Gombrowicz, they also remedy this concupiscent lackmost acrobatically. Indeed, the clever set by Matt Saunders (it combines tennis lawn and gentleman's study, while placing much of the action within a wardrobe) and the revealing costumes of Miranda Hoffman make touching unavoidable.
In another departure, Shaplin has shed most of the novel's Gothic trappings, yet there is still some recourse to the supernatural. The knockout ending, set in a sort of afterlife, clarifies what many of us have long believed: The wages of sin is an office job.
