The Alexandria Archaeology Museum has an extraordinary collection of well preserved artifacts from excavations in the city of Alexandria, Virginia. The collection plays an important role in relating the history of Alexandria and the history of every-day life in America to students, Alexandria residents, and visitors from around the world. The breadth and depth of this collection make it one of the foremost collections for use in comparative studies in historic and urban archaeology. The collection contains over 2,000,000 artifacts, collected since 1965 from more than 150 archaeological sites in the City of Alexandria, Virginia.
The collection includes artifacts from the late 17th through the early 20th centuries, as well as from prehistoric periods. Artifacts from many sites can be related through historical records to individual people, homes and businesses. These sites represent a diverse cross-section of Alexandria society. Sites include homes of free African Americans, slaves, Quakers, and Alexandria merchants; early taverns; Civil War camp sites, shoemakers, earthenware and stoneware potteries, glass factories, a cabinet maker, copper and tin smiths, a doctor's office, an apothecary and a sugar refinery.
Some of the best preserved artifacts were found in deep features such as wells and privies. Leather, wood and cloth preserved from water-logged contexts include over 100 shoes, 200 pieces of cloth including gloves and stockings, wooden toys, and furniture pieces. The glass and ceramics collections include thousands of restored vessels, and many more thousands of fragments. Alexandria is reported to have the largest collection of Staffordshire wares in North America. There is also a large collection of earthenware and stoneware manufactured in Alexandria.
Around 2,000 artifacts are used in the museum in exhibitions, study collections, and hands-on educational programs, or are on loan for exhibition in other museums. The remainder of the collection is stored systematically in a secure, climate controlled storage facility, and is used for research and changing exhibitions.

Like all professional museums, the Alexandria Archaeology Museum abides by a Collections Policy in acquiring and caring for collections. The Historic Alexandria Museums worked together to create a set of collections policies that define the scope of each museum's collections, and set policies for caring for in accordance with the special needs of each collection.
Scope of Collections: The research and collection goals of Alexandria Archaeology are centered upon the investigation, interpretation and preservation of historic and prehistoric sites within the current city limits of Alexandria, and of their related documentary and artifact evidence. Alexandria Archaeology is responsible for the curation of archaeological materials that the City holds in title or trust. These materials, because of their important research value for the City and for the field of archaeology, should be preserved and protected in perpetuity as a resource and legacy for future generations.
Alexandria Archaeology is the official repository for all archaeological materials collected within the current City limits of Alexandria. Artifacts, biological remains and geological samples which comprise the collection are acquired primarily through excavation and survey conducted by the staff of Alexandria Archaeology. Donations will ordinarily consist of artifacts that have been collected by staff on private property or by professional archaeologists or institutions. Donations of artifacts resulting from chance finds or other excavation activities will be carefully considered by staff for their archaeological merit including relevance and importance to the history of Alexandria as well as the degree and quality of documentation. It is recognized that materials of historic interest but without archaeological context will be best collected by other programs within the Office of Historic Alexandria.
The City recognizes the importance of context with regard to archaeological materials, and will thus maintain and preserve field notes, catalogues, research data, reports and other supporting materials in perpetuity along with the artifact collections.
Acquisitions: Donations of artifacts to the Alexandria Archaeology collection must meet the following criteria:
Loans: Alexandria Archaeology may lend artifacts to museums, institutions or public facilities for the purpose of exhibition, and to institutions or individuals with institutional sponsorship for the purpose of research or education only when such research will directly benefit Alexandria Archaeology or the Office of Historic Alexandria. Requests for loans should be made in writing to the curator of collections.
Access: The Alexandria Archaeology collection is the property of the City of Alexandria and held in public trust. The City encourages study of the collection and accompanying documentation by responsible scholars and will make every effort to accommodate research requests. Access to the collection is subject to restrictions required by the availability of staff to provide adequate supervision and resources. Access may be denied to parts of the collection put aside for exhibition or for active research by staff members. Records regarding the location of archaeological sites may be restricted in order to protect surviving sites.
The City of Alexandria Archaeological Standards provides detailed guidelines to be followed for all projects within the City of Alexandria. The Collections section information on processing collections and associated records and on the Alexandria Archaeology Storage Facility.
The Alexandria Archaeology Museum cares for the collection following best practices and the standards for Curation of Federally Owned and Administered Archaeological Collections, 36 CFR part 79.
Artifact Processing: All artifacts from Museum excavations are washed, labeled and catalogued by volunteers, students and staff. Archaeological consulting firms prepare collections from their Alexandria excavations in accordance with the Alexandria Archaeological Standards.
Artifact Cataloguing: A computer database is used to maintain the artifact catalogue Individual artifacts are described in the catalogue, organized by site. Since 2002, digital images have been taken of each artifact or each group of artifacts from one context, to provide a more complete record.
Box Inventory: Most artifacts are stored in archival record storage boxes, so that they can be easily transferred between the museum and storage facility. Each box is assigned a unique record number, and entered into a database. Information recorded includes the site and proveniences, a description of the artifacts, storage conditions, conservation needs, and storage location. The artifact catalogue is linked to the box inventory, to track the location of individual objects. The collections were re-inventoried in 2008 with assistance from interns from The George Washington University.
Archaeological Conservation: The goal of archaeological conservation is to stabilize objects for long-term preservation. In many cases, this can be achieved through proper storage, including the use of archival storage materials and proper climate control. For some artifacts, professional conservation treatment may be needed to curtail active deterioration, or so that an artifact can be exhibited. Conservation is usually required for waterlogged wood, leather and cloth, and for unstable metals. Conservation may include such methods as chemical treatment, air-abrasion and/or mechanical cleaning. A conservation survey conducted in 1990 helped to set standards for storage and treatment. The museum contracts with professional conservators for ongoing conservation needs.
Packaging: For long-term preservation of the artifacts, it is important to use stable, archival packing materials. In Alexandria, we use polyethylene zip-lock bags, acid-free labels marked with water-proof pens, and Hollinger record-storage boxes. Bubble wrap, ethafoam, mylar, and acid-free tissue paper are among the materials used for padding.
Micro-environments: Metal artifacts require a dryer environment than the rest of the artifacts, in order to prevent active corrosion. Inexpensive micro-environments are created using air-tight polyethylene boxes containing packets of silica gel. The silica gel absorbs and holds moisture. When the blue indicating crystals turn pink, the silica gel can be dried out in an oven for re-use.Storage Facility: The Alexandria Archaeology Storage Facility was created in 1990, with assistance from the City of Alexandria, the National Science Foundation, and the Institute of Museum Services. The 1,500 square foot facility is located in a City building just over a mile from the museum, and holds a total of 3,564 boxes. The collection will eventually expand to another space in the same building. The facility was created to provide the environmental conditions necessary for long-term preservation of these important collections. Special care was taken to use stable materials for equipment and packaging that do not "off-gas," or give off harmful fumes, and to provide a very stable temperature and humidity. The storeroom is also equipped with smoke detectors, a sprinkler system, and a separate security alarm.
Compactor shelving was used to maximize space. This shelving moves on a track, allowing nearly twice as much storage capacity as regular shelving. One pound of pressure can move 900 pounds with this mechanical assist system.
Some archaeological materials are very sensitive to climatic changes. An HVAC system maintains a constant temperature and humidity, avoiding fluctuations that would hasten the artifacts' deterioration. An instrument called a data-logger measures temperature and humidity, and records this information on a computer.
The main goal of archaeological conservation is to stabilize artifacts for long-term preservation. Depending on the condition of the artifact, this can involve chemical treatments, mechanical cleaning, or simply storage in the proper environment.

It's a day like any other. You buckle into your car and start the engine. As you're about to drive off, you notice that the check engine light is on. This could mean a number of things, but there are a few common reasons you should be aware of first. Here's what they are and what you should do about them.
What's It Mean?
The Check Engine light (also known as a Malfunction Indicator Light, MIL) usually means there's a problem with the vehicle's emissions system. If the onboard computer gets a reading that's a bit out of whack, the check engine light comes on.
Anything from a loose gas cap to a faulty oxygen sensor can also trigger the check engine light. It might also mean a malfunction in the electronic engine control system, electronic throttle control, electronic transmission control system or something else.
What To Do
Check to make sure your gas cap is on. To be sure, give it a few clicks to tighten it up. After checking to make sure everything is in order, the light should turn off after you've started driving a bit. If it doesn't, head to a Toyota service center to have it looked at.
Don't put off getting your engine checked. Even if the car is driving fine, you may be wasting fuel, putting out a lot of pollution or damaging the engine. Neglecting a minor issue could lead to bigger problems down the road.
For more on this, please visit the Dashboard Indicators page or the Owner's Manual section. If you're currently driving with your check engine light on, please schedule service to avoid complications.

During the peak of the Recovery Act, Stimulus News You Can Use was one way WSDOT kept transportation stakeholders updated on the fast-moving effort to put people to work and improve the state's infrastructure. Each edition contained information on project delivery and highlights. Visit the Newsletter Archive for earlier editions.
Three more local Recovery Act projects completed –
Update: TIGER North Spokane Corridor project to be readvertised –WSDOT will re-advertise the contract for the North Spokane Corridor TIGER Project in early June. The Federal Highway Administration has concurred with WSDOT to re-advertise based on ambiguity in the contract documents. Some of the contract requirements were interpreted differently by contractors, especially the "Buy American Certification." Therefore, all four contractor bids received on the project have been rejected. The project to add southbound lanes on a 3.7 mile stretch of the North Spokane Corridor between Frances Avenue and Farwell Road received a $35 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant on February 17. Construction is still expected to start in summer 2010 with completion in late 2011 or possibly early 2012. See the project webpage for more information.
Latest certification reflects favorable bid climate – Governor Gregoire certified changes to 12 project budgets on May 5 that will make $896,194 available for other projects. The largest changes included $450,000 reduced from WSDOT's US 195/Idaho State Line to Colton – Paving project and $221,194 reduced from Anacortes' 6th Street Reconstruction project due to favorable bids. Surplus Recovery Act funds can pay for existing or additional Recovery Act projects and must be obligated by September 30, 2010.FTA prepares for second round of TIGGER grants – Following the $100 million Transit Investments for Greenhouse Gas and Energy Reduction) TIGGER grant program in the Recovery Act, the Federal Transit Administration is planning $75 million in new grants this year for transit agencies. The grants are designed to reduce transit energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Three Washington transit agencies (Community Transit, Link Transit, and C-Tran) received more than $5.9 million in TIGGER grants last year. The WSDOT Federal Transportation Issues blog has more information.Transportation and Infrastructure Committee released latest project delivery rankings – Washington ranked 15th nationwide for percent of Recovery Act funds out to bid, under contract and under way on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee's latest rankings released May 5. The committee's website also provides the latest report on Recovery Act progress and state data by funding program. Highlight of the weekWSDOT announces plan to review environmental studies for Point Defiance high speed rail projectWSDOT this week announced it will conduct a project level Environmental Assessment (EA) of the $91 million Point Defiance Bypass project, working closely with other agency and community stakeholders. To ensure meaningful engagement and to maintain steady progress on the project, WSDOT has invited key stakeholders and municipalities within the project area to be part of an advisory team that will provide input and review of the updated studies specifically focusing on potential traffic impacts. WSDOT will also seek public comment during the EA process. The Point Defiance Bypass Project reroutes passenger trains to an existing rail line along the west side of I-5 through south Tacoma, Lakewood, and DuPont. Currently, passenger trains share the freight route along the coastline around Point Defiance. The completed project will result in more frequent and reliable passenger rail service between Seattle and Portland and free up the congested freight rail line, ultimately improving access to Washington ports and business. Earlier this year, WSDOT received $590 million in High Speed Intercity Passenger Rail grant funding to accomplish a series of passenger rail service improvements along the Pacific Northwest Rail Corridor. The grant funding was part of $8 billion made available through the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The passenger rail grants are administered by the Federal Railroad Administration. "While we are fortunate to have been awarded Recovery Act funding to expand Amtrak Cascades passenger rail service between Seattle and Portland, it is important that we achieve that goal in cooperation with the cities and local communities along the corridor," said Paula Hammond, Washington Transportation Secretary. "We will all benefit from a deliberate, thorough and transparent process."

Worries about global warming are growing: survey
By Reuters (Reuters) - June 5, 2007
Worries about global warming have increased around the world this year and many people want more government action to slow climate change, a survey showed on Tuesday.
Sixteen percent of more than 26,000 Internet users in 47 nations surveyed in March said climate change was a "major concern" against just 7 percent in a survey in October, according to the report by the Nielsen Company and Oxford University.
"A lot of things happening together have generated a heightened concern," Max Boycoff of Oxford University Centre for the Environment told Reuters of the report issued to coincide with the U.N.'s World Environment Day on Tuesday.
He said U.N. reports blaming human emissions from burning fossil fuels for warming that could lead to more heatwaves, desertification, floods and rising sea levels had apparently spurred concerns and far more media coverage.
And freak warm weather in some regions had also probably contributed, as had a documentary by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore about the risks of warming.
In the survey, about 40 percent of those expressing concern wanted governments to restrict companies' emissions of greenhouse gases and wanted more investment in low-emission cars, houses and renewable energy.
Thirty-one percent thought people should recycle more. But only 3 percent said people should reduce air travel.
People in Switzerland, France, Australia and Canada were most worried about climate change, with more than 30 percent rating it among their top two concerns alongside issues such as the economy, health and job security.
The Group of Eight industrialized nations will meet in Germany for a summit from June 6-8. Among G8 nations, people in Russia and the United States were least concerned by warming.

Free Beer & Hot Wings: Guy Tries to Heat Up Sex, Fails Miserably [Video]
On the most recent episode of TLC's show "Sex Sent Me to the ER," the following reenactment aired of a couple that tried to heat things up a bit in the bedroom.
Free Beer & Hot Wings: This Woman Has Huge Glow-in-the-Dark Boobs [Video]
If you like boobs, you have to check out a new video from TLC's -- The Loser Channel's -- latest "My Strange Addiction."
This 45-year-old woman has a very interesting way of flaunting her enormous jack-o-lanterns.
'Extreme Cougar Wives' Is The Latest Creepy Show On TLC [FBHW]
'Extreme Cougar Wives' is coming this November to The Learning Channel (TLC). The one-hour program follows three elderly women who are involved with significantly younger men. The teaser video opens with Hattie, a 76-year-old woman, explaining how she is labeled a cougar because she sleeps with younger men. It seems as though The Learning Channel no longer has any inclination to teach you anything... Scratch that, we learned what a cougar was.
Corey Taylor Gets Tattoo in Honor of Paul Gray
Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor will appear on tonight's (June 9) episode of TLC's new series NY Ink. The singer is shown getting inked with an image of late Slipknot bassist Paul Gray in an emotional moment for the show.
7 Shocking Eating Addictions From TLC's 'My Strange Addiction' [VIDEOS]
Earlier this year, the TV show 'My Strange Addiction' (Wednesdays on TLC) featured a woman who has one of the strangest addictions we have ever seen. Adele is a 30-year-old who likes to eat couch cushions. She doesn't just chew on them, she actually eats them. When added all up, she has eaten a combined total of seven couches and two chairs in her lifetime.
We were so fascinated by this truly strange addiction that we decided to look for more footage of unusual eating addictions that they've had on the show. We certainly found them.
You can watch all 7 of them after the jump.

Best Fantasy Books: Gabriel Thorn: A Faery Tale
Title: Gabriel Thorn: A Faery Tale
Author: Anthony Paolucci
Release: January 19 2012
Genre: Epic Fantasy
It is the tale of a people, the mystery of a curse and the thrill of a romance that is forbidden, all in one story that will draw you in from the first page. I wasn't sure what to expect from the title, but the language set the scene for lush settings, beautiful beings and a story that truly belongs to the genre of faery tales but is much more than a simple story.
We begin in the darkened room of a small boy, terrified by monsters in the night and tales of goblins told at bedtime by his mother. We smile to ourselves, secure in our knowledge that goblins and faeries aren't real, until we see that here they indeed are, and come in all types and with all kinds of intentions.
But the story truly takes off when we move from here to the forest outside, where we see the birth of an elf that will be the salvation of the race. As we learn the tale and watch the child grow up, we taste the fear and trepidation of a race who can only hope that the prophecies are true, and yet regret the pain that truth will cause. This is a story that has many layers, heroes that don't always feel heroic and dangerous men who fight to keep the life they know.
If you are looking for a tale filled with magic and adventure, romance and valor this is the one for you. I had never heard of Anthony Paolucci, wasn't sure if this was a book worth reading, but I am glad I pulled the sample into my Kindle to check it out (don't you love that little trick Amazon does to pull you into a book!). It really is like very few things I have read out there, a true and very moving tale of faeries, elves and everything in between, and their fight for survival. In Gabriel Thorn: A Faery Tale we are treated to the kind of story most of us wish for and seldom find.

Lift Up Your Mood
(ALIGN YOUR LIFE) / 1 June 2013
Sameer was tired of fighting with his wife Tanya. Though they had been together for many years, she seemed like a different person these days. She stopped going out, started adding on weight and slept all day in a dark room.
At first he thought it was just a phase. But it continued for months and he realised it was serious. Tanya finally went to see a psychiatrist and was prescribed anti depressants. However the medication only made her feel numb and she was not the same again. The story of Tanya is story of thousands of people across the globe that suffers from depression.
The normal ups and downs of life mean that everyone feels sad or has "the blues" from time to time. But if emptiness and despair have taken hold of your life and won't go away, you may have depression. Depression makes it tough to function and enjoy life like you once did. Just getting through the day can be overwhelming. But no matter how hopeless you feel, you can get better. Depression cases have doubled globally in the last decade. According to the World Health Organisation, depression affects more than 350 million people of all ages worldwide, and by 2020, it will be the second leading cause of disability throughout the world after cardiovascular disease.
Many of us suffer from depression at some point of time in our lives. However our mind has the ability to bounce back to normal life in no time. But some people are just not able to bounce back and sink deeper into the web of depression. The most common symptoms are depressed mood during most of the day - particularly in the morning, fatigue or loss of energy almost every day, feeling worthless or guilty constantly, sleeping too much or too little, and significant weight loss or weight gain. There are many types of depression and in most cases; the best approach involves a combination of social support, lifestyle changes, emotional skills building, and professional help. Lifestyle changes are not always easy to make, but they can have a big impact on depression.
Getting regular exercise and sleep helps boost positive mood and releases feel good hormones in the body. Eating the right kind of food will also help in balancing the moods. Eat breakfast and eat regularly. This will help in balancing blood sugar and help stabilise the mood. Eat food rich in antioxidants and protein such as broccoli, carrots, apricots, beans, lean meats, tofu, and yoghurt. Last but not the least meditation helps in calming the mind and balancing the moods. Just 15 minutes of breathing exercises and yoga will also eliminate fluctuations of the mind helping you to live a stress free and healthy life.

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

In the not too distant past, I found myself crossing the Atlantic for the 75th time.
I've also crossed the U.S. continent and zig-zagged over Europe more times than you've had hot dinners…!
I've been to every continent apart from Australasia and Antarctica, and have family dotted around the world.
In a nutshell, I travel a lot – and never for business.
In spite of the odds, I have never been upgraded. So, I think I know just a *little* about flying long-haul in economy. And, being six feet tall, I've learned a thing or two about comfort along the way.
So, when my friend Momsicle asked me if I would like to take part in her Sanity Travel Tips blog circle, I said, ¡Claro que sí!
Here are my top tips for travelling long-haul, no kids. (If you want the …with Kids version, check out the fabulous links at the bottom of this post!)
Tidy up before you leave home
When you get back, jet-lagged after 17 hours of travel, there's nothing quite like finding fresh bed-linen, clean towels and a tidy dwelling. It offsets the probability of having nothing to eat in the fridge, and gives you a clean space in which to unpack.
Fly direct
Unless the price difference is substantially higher than a flight with a layover, fly direct. You'll avoid a bunch of extra airport taxes; and the longer you spend in transit, the more you will spend on feeding and entertaining yourself.
Choose an appropriate layover time
It's simple: 90 minutes for domestic flights; 2 hours for international. More if you are a slow walker, inexperienced flyer, or want to do a spot of duty-free shopping.
Special meals
Back in the day (i.e. before 9/11) I could order a tomato-free special meal. Nowadays, I can't, but when I am booking a flight I still put in a request for a special meal – you get served first, and the food usually tastes better as it is made in smaller quantities. I choose either a high fibre meal (lots of lovely fruit and veg, which minimises bloating on long-haul flights) or a Hindu meal (the spices really help whip your tastebuds, less sensitive at high altitude, back into shape).
Don't be a check-in chicken
Do that $hit online! It saves you time at the airport (go straight to bag drop) and if you get delayed en route to the airport, the airline will be expecting you.
What to wear
It always amazes me when I see women trotting along to the departure gate in heels or flip-flops. Don't their feet get cold and cramped? Not to mention the other outfits that sacrifice comfort for fashion. As for me, I have a travel uniform that is both practical and stylish: flat shoes, leggings, and layers under a long cardigan. Soft, comfortable clothes that hide the dirt with minimal wrinkling. I also pack my coat into my suitcase when I get to the airport so I don't have to carry it around with me. And it's one less thing to deal with at the x-ray machine! (See Passing through Security, below.)
Anti-embolism socks
Probably the most important item I wear when flying for more than 4 hours, these tight knee-high socks support your calves and reduce your risk of developing a blood clot. They're a bugger to put on and take off, but you should probably invest in a pair if you are over 6 feet tall or under 5 feet tall; if you are over 35; if you smoke; if you take an oral contraceptive pill; or are at risk for stroke.
Whether it's something to read, puzzle over, watch, listen to, or pop to knock yourself out, bring something to while away the hours. And obviously, pack anything in your carry-on that is either valuable, fragile, medical, or not quickly replaceable, like your glasses.
But you already knew that, right? So, here are my essential hand-luggage items:
- Pashmina – planes can get mighty chilly, and natural fibres feel much more snuggly than a scratchy ole airline blanket. Plus, it's lightweight which means I can wind mine around my head to cover my eyes but leave my nose free. Yes, I look like Ben Hur's mother (see photo), but it blocks out the light and keeps me warm, which in turn helps me to sleep. And when I say pashmina I don't mean rush out to Barney's to buy some fancy cashmere number that can be pulled through a wedding ring (though those are nice too) – you can find them for $5, in a colour of your choice, on the street in most major cities.
- Neck pillow – forget the stuffed kind, they take up too much precious room in one's carry-on. Go for the inflatable kind instead, and wait until you are cruising at 35,000 feet to inflate – the lower pressure at high altitude causes air to expand, so don't inflate your pillow all the way.
- Decongestant – you'd be surprised how many times I've found myself bunged up at high altitude. When your sinuses are blocked, you will find it more difficult to pop your ears, and if you can't decompress you will have an earache like you've never known.
- Other lotions and potions. Apart from a decongestant, what else do you take when you're limited to 3oz / 100ml bottles of creams which must fit comfortably in a quart/ 20x20cm zip-lock bag? For me, it's easy: lip balm, facial moisturiser which doubles as hand cream, decanted Spanish cologne which doubles as a deodorant and hand sanitiser, eye drops, mini-toothpaste. Remember, we're going for comfort here, not a spa day, so pack your make-up in your suitcase.
- Water container. At $3 or more for a bottle of water at the airport, it makes sense to bring your own water container. There's always a water fountain somewhere. (I admit I haven't done this yet, but the next time I travel, I will…)
- Passport wallet. Holds your passport/s, along with your boarding card, customs forms, a pen, various frequent traveller cards, with a pocket for loose change.
- Ballpoint/ biro pens are best for high altitude. Do not bring a fountain pen. It *will* explode.
- Unless travelling within the E.U. on an E.U. passport, you will have to probably have to fill out at least one landing or customs form if flying internationally. Fill out yer forms before you take off, and you won't have to think about it again until you have arrived.
Passing through security
Smile and make eye-contact with the TSA. Nine times out of ten, they will treat you with more respect and, IMHO, you will be less likely to be stopped for a random screening.
Other tips for passing through the x-ray machine more efficiently:
- When waiting in line, loosen your belt and shoelaces so that you can quickly take them off when it is time to place them in the plastic trays.
- Now is the time to also pat yourself down for any loose change in your pockets, or to remind yourself of any jewellery that might set off the alarm.
- Use a neoprene (wet-suit material) case for your laptop: although you will need to remove the case from your hand-luggage to be screened separately, you won't need to remove the laptop.
- Remove any clothing that security will consider bulky – scarves, hats, jackets, coats (see previous note).
- When it comes to placing your items in plastic trays, I think I've cracked the order of things, judging from the pleased reactions from security staff in the US, the UK and Spain: you put your zip-lock bag with your shoes in the first tray; your clothes and jewellery in the second; your laptop in the third tray; and your hand luggage in the fourth. I find that having a system, however anal it seems, means I pass through the metal-detector with less fuss, and can get assembled more quickly as each tray emerges from the x-ray machine.
- Unless instructed otherwise, I always pass through the metal detector with my passport and boarding card in my hand.
- If you are an able-bodied adult travelling without children, then you should be able to do this. If you can't, then you are carrying too much crap.
Duty-free and a layover
Wait until your final layover before buying duty-free items such as alcohol / perfume / creams, otherwise you risk having them confiscated by airport security.
Be considerate
Gone are the days when flying was a thing of luxury, so be considerate of your fellow travellers. This includes:
- Not jabbing the touch-screen – take it from me, this can awaken the person in the seat in front of you.
- Being aware that you share an armrest with someone else. This is especially critical when their touch-screen controls are in said arm-rest.
- If travelling with a child, being mindful of the fact that your kid is probably kicking the seat in front of him/ her.
- If nottravelling with a child, not being a passive-aggressive arsehole to the parents of a nearby child. Just because they have a kid doesn't mean they should be banned from travel.
- If you are *that* bothered by kids' screeching, invest in an iPod, dummy.
- Okay, irrational pet peeve coming up: please can everyone stop using mini-suitcases as their carry-on? I really hate it when the overhead compartment above my row is taken up with stuff belonging to someone sitting 5 rows away. (Another reason to pack my coat!)
Aisle or window?
Choose a window if you want something to lean against to help you sleep; choose an aisle if you like to stretch your legs. Choose the emergency exit row if, like me, you are tall – but be aware that you must stow your bags in the overhead compartment during take-off and landing.
A brisk walk
You may have just landed in what is the middle of the night for you, but after a long flight I like to get my circulation going by taking a brisk walk off the plane to customs and immigration. I also like the fact that I can often beat most of the queue at passport control this way too!
Other miscellaneous thoughts and trivia
- I'm beginning to think that airmiles are bollocks unless you travel for business.
- Air France has the best food (ah, those French foodies!) and will serve you champagne as an aperitif – even in coach.
- Back in 1996, Air Lanka's female flight attendants wore green saris that trailed on the floor behind them. I trod on one and it ripped. The flight attendant was very gracious about it, but I felt terrible.
- Flight attendants hate it when you try to be helpful by stacking your food tray with someone else's. Each food-trolley slot fits precisely one tray.
- Some flight attendants hate it when you hang out in the back of the plane and make conversation when most of the cabin is asleep. Others love it, and twice I have been discreetly presented me with a bottle of champagne and chocolates from first class because of this. (The last time was when I moved to the States in 2005 – the flight attendant whispered Good luck in your new life! and added that Mel Brooks was wildly entertaining an English Duchess, and she'd pinched the goodies when they weren't looking!)
- I always swipe the unopened [airline – not personal!] goodie bags left behind in business class. I'm past caring what others think, and they are filled with fab potions (and sometimes a discount coupon) in a usually quite practical travel pouch. (I wonder what you get in first class!)

Poking around Facebook yesterday, I discovered a little bit of lactivism at work. Apparently, Facebook won't let people post breastfeeding pictures. So some Facebooker's are planning a virtual nurse-in, Saturday, December 27, 2008. They are going to all post breastfeeding pictures at the same time.
To sign up, go to Facebook, and type M.I.L.C. into the search bar. Mothers International Lactation Campaign should pop up. If you are having trouble finding it. Go to my Facebook page… look me up under Andi Silverman.
Here's text of the petition:
Facebook continues to classify breastfeeding photos as obscene content. They continue to arbitrarily remove these photos from member albums and profiles, accompanied by warnings of account termination. This is highly discriminatory and an affront to nursing mothers everywhere. In protest of this, Mothers International Lactation Campaign (M.I.L.C.) has planned a virtual day of protest.
Not only is human lactation responsible for the very survival of our species, it is in no way a sexually explicit, lewd or despicable act. It is also protected by law in most countries, including specifically the state where Facebook is headquartered in the USA.
In protest to the discriminatory and unjust policy of Facebook administration classifying breastfeeding images as obscene content, on December 27th, 2008 M.I.L.C. is asking all of you to change your profile picture for one day, to one which includes an image of a nursing mom.
This could be a picture of you or someone you know nursing a child, it could be a painting or image of a sculpture of a breastfeeding woman, it could also be a photo or image of any nursing mammal….We ask that you include the status line of "Hey Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!"
In addition to this 'virtual nurse-in', there will be other events planned around the globe. Please check this page often for regular updates and added information. We will also be including images that you can use for your profile picture on December 27th.
Babies everywhere thank you for your support!!!!!

New Study Says Breastfeeding Helps You Lose Weight
A new study found further evidence that breastfeeding can in fact help you lose weight. Here's the link to the study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
And a summary from WebMD:
Researchers concluded that women who gain a reasonable amount during pregnancy and breastfeed exclusively are likely to lose all pregnancy weight six months after giving birth. They also estimate that women who breastfeed retain 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) less than women who don't breastfeed at six months after giving birth.

The lively animation of Dong Kingman's watercolors derives in part from his training in classical Chinese painting and calligraphy. Kingman was born in Oakland, California, to Chinese immigrants but was raised in Hong Kong, where he studied Asian and Western painting techniques. Returning to the United States during the Depression, he worked with a Works Progress Administration art program and gained wider exposure for his art, which tended to be scenic in subject.

text: Sleek & Spice (95) is a warm-toned, reddish-brown taupe with a metallic finish. In the pot, it seems too similar to Nude Compliment, but it's a good deal warmer–the undertone really makes a difference. It had excellent, full color coverage. This shade lasted for sixteen hours without creasing or fading. Urban Decay Mugshot (P, $18.00) is slightly cooler-toned. Urban Decay Liar (P, $18.00) is lighter. Disney by Sephora Chateau (LE) is warmer. Tom Ford Beauty Platinum (LE, $40.00) is a smidgen lighter. Urban Decay Stray Dog (LE, $18.00) is darker. MAC Sable (P, $15.00) is warmer.

From Dragon Knights Wiki
StorageYou cannot possibly store all of your loot in your inventory. Otherwise your pack will be so heavy you will be unable to enter combat. With your personal storage, you can store all of your treasures without having to toss them out and without having to carry them with you while you are exploring.
|There are two types of storages, your personal storage and the guild storage.
|A personal storage can be used by a character level 1 or higher and is joined between all characters in the same account in the same server.
|To see your storage, go to the NPC in charge of the storage in a town.
|Depositing items in a storage is free, but withdrawing items cost a fee of 30 Florin.
|Use your storage to the fullest potential with these shortcut buttons:
|Left Click & Drag
|Deposit or withdraw items into/from storage.
|Left Double Click
|Deposit or withdraw items into/from storage.
|Right Click
|Deposit or withdraw items into/from storage.
|Shift + Left Double Click
|Deposit or withdraw a certain number of items into/from storage.
|Shift + Right Click
|Deposit or withdraw a certain number of items into/from storage.
|Shift + Left Click & Drag
|Deposit or withdraw a certain number of items into/from storage.
Setting up Security for Your StorageIn order to protect the items in your storage, you can set up a password to access the storage.
|First chat with the NPC in charge of storage in the town you are in.
|Click on the "Set Password" button in the conversation list.
|A window will pop up to ask you to set your storage password.
|Input your password, and make sure to confirm the password by inputting it again.
|Once you have registered the password successfully, a notification pop-up will be displayed to confirm that password has been set.
|After you have successfully set your password, everytime you want to enter the storage, you will need to input your password before you can access your personal storage.
|It is also recommended that you change your password occasionally. To change your password, all you have to do is to type in your old password and then set a new password by inputting it twice to confirm it.
|Your password must be 6 numbers long. If you set a password shorter than 6 numbers long, pressing the OK button after setting it will not set a password to your storage.
|You can only input the password by using your mouse and clicking on each number. You cannot input the password through the keyboard.
|After the password is set, the input password screen to access your storage will show up everytime you need to access your storage.
|The password to your storage is shared among all characters in your account in the same server.

thanks man!
Sorry about that. Loads of misspelling in my last comment.
Yo, I just got a camcorder in the mail today so I'm going to start shooting videos soon. Is it alright if I plug your channel at the end of each of my videos?
I've made some past videos that I've deleted. I'm giving my channel a complete overhaul.
120 subs with no videos!? D: what?! xD

I read the claim that a visual development tool means "anyone can be a coder" with disbelief (25 August, p 22). A career in software development and sorting out failing projects has taught me that the last thing you need is the introduction of a random programming element.
I prevent programmers writing any code until the design has been completed and tested - which comprises two-thirds of the entire task. Software development should be no different from hardware development: you design the system before you start to build it.

DURHAM, N.H. -- The University of New Hampshire women's ice hockey team, ranked third in both national polls, carries a 4-0-0 record into this weekend's two-game home series against Niagara University. Both the Saturday (Oct. 17) and Sunday (Oct. 18) games begin at two o'clock at the Whittemore Center.
Both games will be videostreamed live online at unhwildcats.tv and live stats will be available at www.unhwildcats.com.
UNH has a 20-3-0 lifetime record, including last year's 5-3 and 5-2 road victories, against Niagara. The Wildcats have won 14 consecutive meetings in this series vs. the Purple Eagles. New Hampshire has a 10-1-0 record at home; the only loss – Feb. 16, 2002 – is also NU's most recent win in the series.
Last year, the Wildcats recorded double-digit shots in all six periods to generate a 71-48 shots advantage. UNH went 2-for-15 on the power play while NU converted 3 of 18 power-play opportunities. In the first game, the 'Cats led 2-1 at the first intermission and 4-1 at the end of two periods. The next day, the Purple Eagles erased a two-goal deficit with second-period tallies 50 seconds apart, but UNH responded with goals in a 26 second span to carry a 4-2 lead into the third period.
These teams last faced off here in Durham in November 2007, and New Hampshire recorded 6-2 and 11-1 victories.
Dating back to last season, UNH has won 17 consecutive regular-season games. The Wildcats closed the 2009 regular season with 13 consecutive wins and have opened '10 with four victories.
Staying within the realm of regular season play, UNH has not lost at the Whittemore Center since Nov. 11, 2007 (2-1 to Princeton). Since that game, the 'Cats are 25-0-4 at home in regular-season games –that includes 11-0-1 against non-league opponents.
UNH's penalty kill is perfect in 22 shorthanded situations this season. Four of the team's six goals last weekend were scored on the power play.
UNH shut out the opposition in the second and third games of the season; the Wildcats did not record back-to-back shutouts last year. UNH's shutout streak ended at 183 minutes, 30 seconds when Syracuse scored its second-period goal.
Ten Wildcats recorded a point vs. Colgate, and Micaela Long (two assists) was the only multiple-point scorer.
Eighth-year head coach Brian McCloskey is approaching the 200-win milestone, as he enters the weekend with 193 career victories (193-41-24 overall record). There are currently nine active Division I coaches with 200+ wins. McCloskey's predecessors at UNH also exceeded 200 victories. Russ McCurdy compiled a 264-36-10 record from 1978-92 and Karen Kay went 215-90-25 from 1993-2002.
In the seven-year tenure of head coach Brian McCloskey, UNH has exhibited a propensity for starting seasons with an extended unbeaten streak. Last year, the Wildcats went undefeated in their initial six games (4-0-2). In the 2007 season, UNH opened with nine consecutive wins. In 2005 and 2003, the 'Cats began with seven straight victories.
New Hampshire has opened '10 with four wins.
The fourth annual "Skating Strides Against Breast Cancer" will have an event on every WHEA campus this season, as well as participation by all of the Hockey East men's teams. UNH will hold its Skating Strides event at the Whittemore Center on Jan. 16, vs. Providence.
In February 2007, the league debuted its inaugural "Skating Strides Against Breast Cancer." The one-day event was hosted by Hockey East schools as a way to establish a greater fan base, to raise needed funds, and to work with the specific charities to raise awareness for both the league and the specific cause. "Skating Strides" has won national awards at NACMA in the "Single Day Attendance Promotion" category in 2007 and 2009.

Home » Pipe Fittings by Types » Pipe Elbow » Street Elbow
Street Elbow
A street elbow is a type of pipe elbow having an internal thread at one end and an external thread at the other. In other words, it is a type of plumbing or piping fitting which is intended to join a piece of pipe and another fitting at an angle. That is why a regular elbow and a street elbow is different. The basic advantage of the street elbow is that it can be connected directly to another pipe fitting without using a pipe nipple (short piece of connecting pipe).
Difference between a regular elbow and a street elbow:
The difference between them is the nature of the fittings on either end. A regular elbow has hub (a female ABS, PVC or Copper pipe receiver) or FIP (Female Iron Pipe threads, i. e. receives threaded iron, brass or plastic pipe) on both ends. On the other hand, a street elbow has a female fitting (Hub or FIP) on one side and a male pipe ( since it matches the dimensions of the pipe and therefore will go into any fitting) or MIP (Male Iron Pipe threads which is the standard tapered thread cut into pipe) fitting on the other end.
Street elbows are available in various types like:

I computed the time to create 4000 empty files in the same directory whose names were randomly chosen. This takes about 0.2 seconds. The box used is a Fedora distribution within a VM (and btrfs was a loopback-ed device). Then, I computed the time to create those 4000 empty files in the same directory, whose names were however chosen in order to hash to the same CRC32C value. This operation fails after 5 (!) seconds and creating only 61 files. In other words, this first attack allows an adversary, in a shared directory scenario, to avoid that a victim creates a file with a known-in-advance name.
I have created several files with random names in a directory (around 500). The time required to remove them is negligible. Then, I have created the same number of files, but giving them only 55 different crc32c values. The time required to remove them is so large that I was not able to figure it out and killed the process after 220 minutes (!).

38 year old man | Colma, CA, USA | Seeking women 27-39 within 25 miles
I love Girl Scout Cookies!
I'm relatively new to this so please bear with me. I've got a Boston Terrorist that means the entire galaxy to me! He broke his leg when he was four months old. I still don't know exactly how he did it as I didn't see what happened but I found him and rushed him to the VCA. They had to intubate him to install some pins and a plate in order to put Humpty Dumpty back together but when they pulled the tube he aspirated and that turned pretty much instantly into pneumonia. I had to sit down and release a few tears for a second or three when they told me what happened and there was a significant chance he might not pull thru. That's definitely when I realized we were fully bonded and he was my Furkid for life! Four months later he's good as new and you'd never know it happened. I'm over the bar and club scene. Don't get me wrong I still like to get out for a few drinks every now and again but I'm definitely preferential to dives and it's more about the people I'm with as opposed to trying to meet everyone I don't know. Maybe that's why I'm single? I've become an introvert! I spent all of my 20's chasing my career. I've moved 3 times in the last 10 years. Shortest relocation distance was just over 200 miles. I'm over moving and I really like the Bay Area. There is so much to be enjoyed in such a relatively small amount of space. It's awesome and I can't think of any where that could be better. Maybe as good but definitely not better. I reached a point in life where I know myself and I'm confident in me. I'm not perfect and I realize it. I'm a little quirky just like everyone else. I've got a good heart and I work hard and honest for everything I have and I treat people the same way I would want myself or my loved ones treated in the same situation. I've been told I'm old fashioned and also that I've got an old soul. I still believe in looking people in the eye, firm hand shakes, that a man's word is his bond and that there's no shame in hard work. Like millions of others I'm here searching for that special connection with another person. I'm paying for this so I hope it works!

Solar Hot Water Savings
Cut 63% Off Your Power Bill With Solar Hot Water
A recent study shows that using a solar thermal water heater is not just an environmentally-conscious decision, but it can also save you quite a bit of cash.
Progress Energy just released a report in which it notes that customers saved upwards of $235 a year by switching to solar thermal water heaters. That's a whopping annual savings of 63% on the water heater portion of their power bills.
The Raleigh based company reported to the North Carolina Utilities Commission as a final part of a pilot project using 150 solar water heaters to test out the efficiency of the units.
Progress claims more than 15% of electricity used in an average home is used for heating water, so the solar thermal water heater would be a solid investment over the long-term. The biggest drawback is its high initial cost. Although currently the state of North Carolina offers a 35% tax credit. And of course, there's also the 30% federal tax incentive.
Here are some basics about solar hot water. . .

Bald American DJ Moby is to follow up his hugely succesful album 'Play' with the release of his newest offering, titled '18', in May of 2002.
Moby explained the title like this :-
"In addition to the record being called "18" because there are 18 songs on it, there are other more obscure reasons for it being called "18"."... I hope that cleared it up for you!
Recorded in New York over the last twelve months, the album includes 18 new tracks and some special guest appearances.
The first single to be lifted from the album is called 'We Are All Made Of Stars' and is to be released at some point in April.
