Hello?!?!? Is Any Body Out There?
Then there are days like yesterday when I get 118 hits, and 27 visits (hits being the number of individual pages read, hits being individual people reading one or multiple pages). Stats generally mean a few new people have visited my blog and done a lot of looking back through old posts.
Don't get me wrong: I love that. It just makes my bloggy senses tingle with anticipation (yes, anticipation and not ignorance of the subtle nuances of my tracking stats): "Who are these people? What brought them here? Where are they from? Did they like it? Do they have a blog?"
So while I don't want to single them out, these questions still plague me. And how many of the usual 20-30 some odd daily visitors do I not know? So today, I invite all of you - whether you've commented before, or not, whether I follow your blog, or not, whether you stumbled upon here by accident trying to access the very similarly named porn site or whether you follow me through an RSS reader - to drop a note to say a little bit about yourself!!
In other news, the repairs to the laundry area was done as per schedule, and as long as I use cold water, we're still at $1.75 to wash and $1.75 dry. Phew!! And this dryer actually does dry!! But it meant a very basic outfit. I did just throw the scarf on for the pic!!

Hi lady! I'm here! But you already know me. :)ReplyDelete
And um...I don't see a pic in this post (you'd mentioned throwing a scarf on for the pic). I wanna see you!
It's MEEEEEEEEEEEE!ReplyDelete
I'm just like, a NOTORIOUS lurker. I don't know why, I just am not a big commenter.
I'm here too!! But you know me as well! Haha, some days I think about enabling indexing on my blog. And then, someone posts about their searches or stats, and its debate between morbid curiosity and "no way!" Although for some reason Yahoo has sent some searchers MY way, and the keyword they all used was "2". Yep, just the number 2. I did get a storm of hits about a month ago, and my stats revealed it was a forum post on a chat room for soap operas! (For real!) Oh and thanks for the comment today, you give my thought process on outfits too much credit!! ;) Although I am curious now on how patterns get "gendered" and which gender they get assigned too! Good luck on figuring out the spike in traffic! :)ReplyDelete
Another good way of checking your stats is to enable blogger in draft. I'm not sure if they've made the transition to regular blogger or not, but it's got all kinds of information on how people find your blog. People come to mine for a sweater dress picture that got linked in a pool of photos.ReplyDelete
Hello hello my dear!ReplyDelete
I've never check my stats as I'm not quite sure what it means anyway! I must admit, I tried to access the porn site with the same name and lucky me, it lead me to you!
another lurker here- not sure you'll get this comment as the post is old. I have a private blog to just keep my outfit photos together and copy the best entries in blogs I regularly read.ReplyDelete
I'm from South America, a small country called Uruguay

More than a third of U.S. food crops are dependent on pollination by honeybees for a successful harvest. Hundreds of popular natural foods largely rely on bees for reproduction, including almonds, broccoli, cucumbers, squash, strawberries, and watermelons. By helping plants to produce seeds and fruit — and creating a very popular natural sweetener in the process — honeybees contribute an estimated $14 billion a year to the American economy, and are responsible for an abundance of many of the world's healthiest foods.
Yet, for the past several years, a mysterious disorder has been seriously affecting honeybee populations, destroying both wild and domesticated hives. Despite years of study, scientists have still not reached a consensus on the cause of honeybee Colony Collapse Disorder, which causes worker bees at afflicted bee colonies to become disoriented en masse and abandon their hives, often with untended bee larvae still inside. Left to fend for themselves, the flightless bee larvae eventually starve and die.
Many causes have been proposed for Colony Collapse Disorder — invasive parasites, viruses, pesticide residues, genetically modified crops, and even electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones have all been put forth as possible culprits behind the disorder (but before you toss out that cell phone to save the bees, please note that environmental scientists have largely discounted that last theory).
Though no single cause of CCD has yet been pinpointed, the scientific community agrees on one thing: bees across the United States are under significant stress from a variety of sources, and if nothing is done to help them, our entire agricultural system could be at risk.
Over the past several years, wild honeybee populations have almost disappeared from the American landscape. And according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, just during this past winter, over one-third of domesticated honeybees kept by beekeepers died. Honeybees are dying, not just from the mysterious CCD, but also from known causes like pesticide poisoning and parasite infestations.
And not only honeybees but also many other varieties of bees, wasps and butterflies that pollinate plants are at risk from malnutrition and starvation caused by lack of access to the variety of nutritious native wild plants they once depended on for survival. A decrease in plant biodiversity, caused by agricultural monoculture and the loss of wild habitat, is contributing significantly to the stress insect pollinators face.
What can you do to help protect bees, and the healthy, natural foods they help produce? Check out our Care2 Action page for a list of simple, inexpensive steps you can take to help honeybees in your own backyard!

No bees, no food.
Petition signed and voted 'yes!'
Thank U, I love bees!!!
This is a very sad story. Other animals and plants have to go only because "we" humans do not want to share the world with other life forms, these life forms "we" would not eat (vegetarian food is not a bad idea, or eating with conscience as the so called primitive cultures did and still do, if they still exist. No meat/fish every day). "We" destroy everything around us and "we" forget, that everything is important to survive, too.
As little child i thought that rain is when God and the angels cry - because "we" humans have forgotten that we need this "intelligence", someone who could help... if "we" hadn't turned away for many centuries ago...
"Only when the last tree has been cut down; Only when the last river has been poisoned; Only when the last fish has been caught; Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten." (Native American proverb)
"We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not yet learned the simple art of living together as brothers." (Martin Luther King)
At one point Aussie bees were thought to be the problem. The Aussie bee was proven to be "pure". Our development as a nation is at a crossroads, our land is relatively uncontaminated, simply because of its youth, population and previous "inaccessability". We are a world power, and we have the power to ensure that our people live in a land where our health and wellbeing reigns over money and power. Monsanto has run rife in the US. Their tentacles are snaking into Australia. Our organic farmers are already losing their livelihood to this monster of genetic manipulation. If our bees are pure, let's do everything to ensure they remain that way. The whole world may depend on our relative isolation. Korea is already using manual labour to pollinate some of their fruit trees. That's so close to home! The whole world needs to address this problem! It is imperative to the whole world! It is imperative to our survival, and our children's survival, and our children's children's survival. Mankind, and yes, usually man, is the only animal who threatens his own survival for mercenary gains. Every other species takes what they need for survival, even those who store their food. Only mankind stores more than he needs and uses it to lord over others. Let's get rid of genetic manipulation for a start. Let's go organic. If GM wheat yields less over a ten year period than (organic) pre GM wheat, and storing does not deteriorate the food value, why go GM? For humanity's sake, let's go organic!
Bees are essential for life as we know it. Without them, many species cannot survive, resulting in ecologic disorder and increasing a domino effect impacting all creatures.
Before us goes the bee.Do what you can.Be a do bee.
Same- or higher- number of yellow jackets, significant drop in honeybee numbers.
Anything to save the bees. we might run away from them when they fly in a swarm but there's nothing like honey to heal us and sweeten our foods. I hope the scientific world can find out soon what's causing the problems for the bees and quickly solve them so we can save the bees.
What a shame...Not only are they really cute, but their venom is used to alleviate lots of medical conditions, and honey (especially in the comb) is one of the most perfect and delicious foods.

Futurebiotics African Mango makes various claims about just how Futurebiotics African Mango works. They say that Futurebiotics African Mango is designd to allow you to get the most clinically proven and effective solutions for your needs. When you use Futurebiotics African Mango, you will be able to get cutting edge ingredients for amazing results. They use protein rich, fibrous seeds. And it will help you to get an entirely vegetarian capsule with no added caffeine or stimulants. Futurebiotics African Mango is the natural formula that will help you to get beyond the average. It helps you to burn more fat, suppress appetite, and more. And with Futurebiotics African Mango, you will be able to see the difference that you have missed out on with other products. But how does Futurebiotics African Mango work?
How Does Futurebiotics African Mango Work?
Futurebiotics African Mango ingredients include 150mg of African Mango/Irvingia Gabonensis. When you use Futurebiotics African Mango, you get just one clinically proven ingredient. This ingredient has been clinically proven to do all that they say. It helps you to burn fat, suppress appetite, control cravings, and induce many other possible benefits at the same time. When you use Futurebiotics African Mango, you will find that it helps you to get an entirely stimulant free ingredient proven to be more effective than caffeine. It can help you in many other ways. And it helps you to control the hormone known as leptin. But unfortunately, you will find that it only has this one clinically proven ingredient. Yes, this ingredient alone is potentially powerful. But you should always have a backup plan, a plan B of sorts. If you do not, then you cannot count on it as much as you would think. And even if the African Mango were the miracle ingredient that works for everybody, there are other products using clinically proven ingredients and amounts that multiply and otherwise maximize the effectiveness of their product in a way that Futurebiotics African Mango cannot.
Futurebiotics African Mango Side Effects
Futurebiotics African Mango does not cause any common side effects. It is unlikely to cause issues, outside of the possibility of course of allergies.

Six Month Window
Since the judgment was entered on October 29, apparently I only have 2 weeks to do anything about it (there is a 6 month time frame). Which if you ask me is incredibly lame because if they choose to snag my money a month from now, I would have been completely out of luck, even though I knew nothing about it.

Rumors regarding a possible connection of China blogging service Sina Weibo to the Microsoft account aren't quite new, but it seems like the software company has finally decided to give the green light to this plan.
LiveSide.net writes that starting this morning, Sina Weibo users can see their contacts on the Windows Phone, Windows 8 and Outlook.com through the dedicated apps created in this regard.
In addition, they can view contacts' statuses on both the Phone and the operating system and post updates from the mobile device.
SkyDrive integration is also available for those who wish to share file and folder links with Sina Weibo followers.
Microsoft is yet to announce this merger in an official release, but the company is slowly rolling out the updates for all users, so in case you're not seeing any change for the time being, you should wait for a few more hours.

Betting against the public
Hi guys Chase Diamond here just wanted to share with you my views on betting against public money early in the NFL season as year in year out it is very profitable. As soon as a line is released the books know where the public will be putting their money and gear there line towards that. Since 2005 teams receiving less than 20% of public action have cashed close to 58% of the time! You can even get close to 60% winners if you focus on the home teams that are getting 20% or less public action! Early on in the NFL season the public relies on hype from previous season or stuff they get on the media. That is simply foolish business when betting ones money. Sometimes they bet the following week because they watched Doug Martin run for 3 touchdowns against the Bears Defense and they figure hell he's playing the Jags this week this should be a field day. There is a lot of work that goes into grabbing a line when it's at peak value. The sharpest gamblers grab a big value line early then play the other side when the line has moved to where they want it. This approach is trying to win on both sides of a team maybe grabbing a team at -3 then when line goes to +4.5 +5 you try and win both sides using this method.
When it comes to sports betting you always want to identify where the sharp money is. Betting against the public is just a small piece of the handicapping game. Reverse line movement is one key thing to look for when looking for sharp money. A example of this is if the Eagles opened up at a 10 point favorite and 70-80% of the public were backing the eagles and the line dropped to -9.5 well that would be a prime indicator of Reverse line movement. Now try for yourself and track a few games and I'm sure you will be pleased with your results and as always good luck and keep an eye out for all my NFL selections this season. Chase Diamond

Suit Yourself - September/October 2006
|George Shuster, CEO of one of America's oldest fabric companies, gets a thrill from piecing recycled apparel labels into animated, graphic quilts.
|Picture a couple sitting by a cozy fireplace, one spouse reading to the other who is busy sewing. Surprisingly, the nimble quilter in this particular scenario is the husband.
"I love the fact that I can talk to my wife while I'm sewing," says George Shuster. This textile executive began recycling embroidered fabric garment labels more than twenty-five years ago.
"Labels are per square inch the most expensive part of a garment," says George. "I have a quilter's mentality and I love to use the discarded scraps."
George whipstitches batches of labels into a block of "fabric" and then cuts and pieces his shapes. He then stitches them onto heavy backing fabric.
|Pride of Delaware, 36" x 54", 2004. The Blue Hen is he mascot of the University of Delaware and also Delaware's state bird. George Shuster chose to immortalize this enduring symbol of his birthplace on his quilt. Dark and light garment labels provide contrasting "fabric" for the proud bird.
|Above: Moby Dick, The Great White Whale, 84" x 60", 1999. Like Melville's classic novel, this quilt was a labor of love which took George nearly a decade to complete. His marine biologist father and a fascination with sperm whales inspired the creation of the padded creature that swims in an ocean of dark blue labels. George's goal was to conquer a sizeable project, which he certainly did. Below: Label Pillows, 14" x 14", 1980-1988. Shown below are two of more than twenty pillows George made as his first projects using labels.
|George Shuster is Chairman, President, and CEO of Cranston Print Works Co. in Rhode Island.
|He is an amateur cetologist, an avid stonemason, and a champion Masters' Rower in what he calls the "ideal geezer sport."

On Wednesday's episode of "Jeopardy!" Chris Wallace from FOX News annihilated the competition.
Wallace finished with $22,800 and won $50,000 for his charity, Hope for the Warriors, an organization that seeks to improve the quality of life for members of the military who are injured or killed while serving the country. He competed against Dr. Oz and BBC's Katty Kay.
Wallace's victory followed the embarrassing failure of MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Monday's episode.

Someone shared with me a graphic that indicates the amount different states of these USA tax your beer. From TaxProf:
Did you that the last voice in the mighty Lewis & Short Dictionary is for a form of Egyptian beer?

Beati bibuli qui minimo tributo soluto, zythum sorbillant aegyptiacum.
I'm going to offer a theory: the Maker's Mark and Jack Daniels folks are trying to nudge the locals away from beer and toward their products.
When I first lived in Georgia in the mid-eighties, we were #1. Not so coincidentally at that time it was also illegal to brew your own. Go figure.
Seems to make sense, if prohibition doesn't work, might as well tax the living daylights out of it ;)
Joe, taxing the daylights out of it also doesn't work, but it does feed the cancer we call government.
Notice also how some of the lowest tax rates belong to great beer producing states like Wisconsin (Miller, Pabst, et al.), Missouri (Anheuser-Busch), Colorado (Coors), and Pennsylvania (Rolling Rock).
My thanks to you Father Z, for this information. You have added yet one more batch of reasons to relocate from Washington State to Texas (probably San Antonio, given its proximity to military facilities and to my principal casualty insurer, USAA—also connected to the military—and to the presence of Our Lady of the Atonement Catholic Church—one of the original Anglican Use parishes under the "Pastoral Provision" instituted by JPII. The presence of Our Lady of the Atonment will help compensate for our loss of the beloved Dominican Parish where we were received into the Church in 2010.
Not to mention the absence of an income tax in Texas and a cap on cumulative sales taxes of 8.25%, the warmer weather and milder winters, and the lower cost of living (San Antonio's is just 60% that of Seattle's).

Conception Bay South, Newfoundland and Labrador, A1X, Canada
The Chief Operator's House is a two storey, biscuit box style house located at 1600 Conception Bay Highway, Seal Cove, CBS. The house has a plain, unadorned exterior and it sits directly on the main road, surrounded by mature trees, and in close proximity to the old United Towns Electric Company hydro generating station and flume. The designation is confined to the footprint of the house.
The Chief Operator's House was designated a municipal heritage building because it has historic, environmental and aesthetic values.The Chief Operator's House is of significant historical importance because it forms an integral part of an electrical development project, undertaken by the United Towns Electric Company (UTE) in 1923. Located in the tiny community of Seal Cove the Chief Operator's House was a marvel of its time equipped with both electricity and running water. Built by the UTE Co. in Seal Cove for the Chief Operator, Frank Jones held the position for 36 years. The Seal Cove plant, along with ones in Topsail, Heart's Content and Victoria supplied the military base in Argentia with electricity in 1941. By 1954 the company grew to have assets in excess of $27,000,000 and was meeting a total annual load of 156 million KWhs. The house remains largely unchanged since its construction. The Chief Operator's House has environmental value because it is located next to the flume, which was used to deliver water to a 4540hp hydro generating station owned by the UTE Co. This close proximity allowed the Chief Operator to control the regular maintenance of the flume. The turbine station was within sight of the home, thereby allowing the Chief Operator the ability to walk there and fulfil his job requirements without the need for a company car (an expensive endeavour in 1923).The Chief Operator's House also has environmental value because it is situated on a lot with mature trees and a natural spring, which provides water to the home.The Chief Operator's House has aesthetic value because it is a good example of a Newfoundland vernacular home. The house is a biscuit box style and has a low pitch gable roof with felt covering. The single hung windows have 6/1 panes and are surrounded by flat moulding. The main entrance is located at the front, or street-side of the house, but the primary entrance is located at the side, entering into the kitchen through a linhay (porch). Wooden clapboard and wide cornerboards add to the simplicity of the house design. This house has remained unchanged both on the exterior and interior since it was constructed in 1923, and is a testament to the craftsmanship and materials of this early company house. Source: Town of Conception Bay South Regular Council Meeting Motion #02-399 August 6, 2002.
All those original features of the company house, including:-biscuit box style with linhay;-two storey wooden structure;-low pitch gable roof;-wooden clapboard;-wide cornerboards;-6/1 single hung windows with wide, flat moulding;-window dimensions, locations and orientations;-primary entrance at the side, opening into the linhay;-location, orientation and dimensions, general massing.

Mt. Kilimanjaro: Dave Hahn and Team Arive in Africa!
Posted by: Dave Hahn | September 15, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
It is 11 PM at the Dik Dik Hotel near Arusha, Tanzania, and the entire climbing team has made it through the worldwide obstacle course of airports and aircraft to begin a Kilimanjaro expedition. We'll get started in the morning with strategizing and packing gear and prepping, but for now it it just a great relief to have everybody in one place (the correct place) and to have all the baggage safely off the carousels.
Our drivers and hotel staff gave each tired traveler a friendly hello, a handshake, a glass of champagne and a flower or two. The kitchen stayed up late to get an excellent dinner out to each and every climber.
We'll hope that a night's good rest goes a long way to refreshing, rebooting and rejuvenating the gang. An adventure is waiting.
Best Regards,
RMI Guide Dave Hahn
Thanks for taking such good care of everyone. :)read more

Mt. Kilimanjaro: Hahn and Team Recover from Jet Lag and Prepare to Climb
Posted by: Dave Hahn | September 16, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
We got together after a relaxing breakfast in our tropical garden of a lodge and we talked about going up amongst the glaciers of Kilimanjaro. It was a morning of going over the plan of attack and for discussing gear and best practices for staying healthy in this part of the world. The middle of the day was spent getting the gear and clothing sorted and by afternoon the team enjoyed a bit of free time to wander about or to nap. The wanderers didn't have to go far before they could see Kilimanjaro floating in the distance. The nappers surrendered for a short time to the jet lag we all feel.
The team enjoyed seeing groups of monkeys swinging through the trees of our compound as well as listening to strange birds call out as they cruised overhead.
We enjoyed a group dinner and some storytelling for the evening. It will be hard to leave this luxurious and laid back setting, but the thought of getting walking on the flanks of the largest freestanding mountain in the world is pretty enticing as well.
Best Regards,
RMI Guide Dave Hahn

Kilimanjaro: Hahn & Team at Machame Camp
Posted by: Dave Hahn | September 17, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Elevation: 9,800'
It was raining at the Dik Dik Hotel this morning when we woke. Light, but steady rain kept falling as we ate a 7 AM breakfast and got ready to board the bus/truck. But 15 minutes down the road, our driver shut off his windshield wipers. Low clouds still disguised the mountain we believed was hiding somewhere out to our northeast, but things were looking up. The variety of crops in the "cultivation" zone at the foot of Kilimanjaro was quite impressive. We saw coffee, corn, avocado, mangos, and bananas all growing in a lush mix close to the Machame Gate. It took some time to get the group properly registered and permitted with the National Park but then at around 11 AM we began our ascent through a forest of tall trees. Our starting point was at about 5,900 ft, and our destination for the day was close to 9,800 ft, so there was little doubt we were in for a workout. At first we were in fog and humid clouds, but after several hours, the sun got strong and the sky got blue. We traveled on an excellent trail through the "forest" zone and into the "heather" zone and we began getting great views of Kilimanjaro and her glaciers. At around 4:30 PM we strode into a cluster of tents and admired the work of our porters and kitchen crew as we took packs off in our new home. We ate dinner in our grand dining tent and turned in early under what appears to be a magnificent full moon.
Best Regards,

Mt. Kilimanjaro: Team Ascends to Shira Camp
Posted by: Dave Hahn | September 18, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Elevation: 12,300'
After a calm night at Machame Camp at 9,800', we packed up this morning under blue skies and strong sun and pushed higher. The team was on the move by 8:00 AM and was immediately on steeper and rougher trails than we'd encountered yesterday. It was quite busy as the porters from a number of teams -including our own- were anxious to get out ahead and make it to Shira Camp as early as possible in order to claim prime sites for their teams. We made good progress, eventually following a rocky ridge line for some distance. It was continually interesting to watch the changes in foliage as we ascended. Looking out, we were above a sea of cloud obscuring the rest of Africa. Our sun and views of Kilimanjaro didn't last. By the time we'd reached about 12,000', clouds formed on the upper mountain and stretched to cover us. By then, we were traversing on blocky lava terraces out towards the Shira plateau. We made it into our new camp at 12:30 and after getting settled, enjoyed a fine hot lunch. Afternoon was mostly rest, relax and acclimatize time as we are now at a lofty 12,300' It is colder here and so we didn't stay up very late, hitting the sack at about seven, just after a hearty supper.

Mt. Kilimanjaro: Team Members Set New Altitude Record
Posted by: Dave Hahn | September 19, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Elevation: 13,000'
Early risers at Shira Camp witnessed a giant moon setting out near Mount Meru to our west this morning. We still had views of the upper flanks of Kilimanjaro when we went to breakfast, but by the time we hit the trail, the great cliffs and glaciers were cloaked in cloud. We marched upward on a low angled and broad ridge. Gradually the plants got smaller and smaller until there were hardly any of note by our high point at the Lava Tower. We endured a short sleet storm near the 14,900' pass, but that did not keep us from pushing on and breaking altitude records for a number of our team members. Then we began a steady descent into the Barranco Valley. Clouds let loose a ten minute rain shower on us and kept us guessing about the steep contours above. We could just see hints of ice and crazily angled rock up above. Below we could see a magical valley of Dr. Seuss style plants unfolding. Giant Senecios and Lobelias abounded. We were in our new home and safely in the tents at 13,000' before the next rain showers commenced. The late afternoon and evening blended together as a damp fog settled over our Barranco tent village.

Kilimanjaro: Hahn & Team Settle in at Karanga Camp
Posted by: Dave Hahn | September 20, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Elevation: 14,500'
Our first steps out of the Barranco Camp at 8:30 this morning brought us to the Great Barranco Wall. It can be an intimidating feature when seen from a distance as it appears to be just that… a wall. But there is a trail of ledges and handholds and well-worn steps over the lava outcroppings that can work just fine for scaling the wall. Our entire team was climbing well and strong and as it turned out, our main concern was traffic. It was rush hour on the wall. Hundreds of porters and climbers from other teams were all trying to squeeze through the ledges at the same time. Things eased by the halfway point as the crowd spread and we were able to concentrate on the big steps. We were up the wall in about an hour and onto much easier hiking. We'd enjoyed some pretty decent views upward toward Kilimanjaro's main peak earlier in the day, but we were still seeing nothing below but a sea of clouds. Gradually we came to be under a giant umbrella of cloud centered on the summit. It was a relatively short time before we dropped into the Karanga Valley and climbed out its steep opposite side to walk into Karanga Camp. We are all getting into a pretty smooth routine now of breaking camp, climbing and then moving into new camps. We sheltered in our tents for some light afternoon rain showers, and were happy to come together in the roomy dining dome for afternoon tea and dinner. Partial clearing after dinner allowed great views of the lights of Moshi, glowing far below.
Best Regards,

Kilimanjaro: Hahn & Team at High Camp, Ready for Summit Bid
Posted by: Dave Hahn | September 21, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Elevation: 15,000'
We were treated to a clear view of the upper mountain this morning, which was spectacular and short-lived. Thick clouds were forming by our 8:30 AM departure for high camp. We quickly got above the upper limit of any significant vegetation and so when the clouds came in close around us, there really wasn't much to see. Lava and pumice. We were on a great stairmaster, and so we patiently did our exercise. It took just 2.5 hours to climb the 2,000 vertical feet to Barafu ("ice" in Swahili) Camp. Timing was exquisite as persistent and heavy sleet began to fall. Our excellent support staff had built a fine camp for us to shelter in. We rested, ate, drank and got ready for our main event. We are in bed early and trying to manage our excitement for a midnight start to a big summit day. The sleet has quit and the stage is set.

Mt. Kilimanjaro: Making Their Summit Attempt
Posted by: Dave Hahn | September 22, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Elevation: 10,000'
As planned, the climbing team was up at midnight and on the trail shortly after 1 AM. There were stars and a big bright moon, but plenty of clouds as well. It was tough to know just what we could expect in the weather department. Yesterday afternoon and evening had produced a couple of inches of new snow on the ground, starting just uphill from our camp. We set out walking in it. The best thing was that there was no wind. We made pretty good time, stopping roughly every hour to rest. Predictably, it was tough going. It was dark, unrelentingly steep, and progressively colder as we ascended. We were breaking altitude records for a number of the team. But we had extremely good and capable help from our guide team. Freddy Kileo's crew of Vendelin, Francis, Eliapenda and Kundasai, along with Oswald, really came through. Everyone felt challenged by the climb, but the team rallied in the face of all the difficulty and discomfort. We pulled up onto Stella Point on the crater rim just at sunrise, which was stunning. But at Stella, we also got hit with some pretty mean wind gusts. We pushed on toward Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa, and conditions improved. We weren't alone up there on this beautiful day, but we weren't paying too much attention to other teams. There was excitement and pride in the fact that our entire team had made it to the top. We shot some happy pics and shook hands and hugged. Chris and Jeffrey Hendricks celebrated their one year anniversary on the summit.
We didn't spend too long at 19,340 ft above sea level. It was cold and we wanted to get down to more abundant oxygen. Leaving the top at 7:30, we were back down to Barafu Camp by 10:30. We brunched, packed our bags and got on the trail again. In the course of the afternoon we dropped another 5,000 vertical feet to 10,000 at the Mweka Camp. We are back in the giant heather zone and looking forward to finishing the descent tomorrow.
Best Regards

Mt. Kilimanjaro: Hahn & Team Reach Mweka Gate
Posted by: Dave Hahn | September 23, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Hard to believe we were at 10,000' in the "Giant Heather Zone" just this morning. We had a big blue sky overhead, which hasn't been exactly common on this trip. It rained at some point in the night, cleaning the dust out of the air and making everything fresh and new. After breakfast, we watched as our 57-man support team sang and danced through an excellent song about our shared adventure. We were once again amazed at the talents of our porters, cooks, guides and camp staff. The morning hike down 4000' to the Mweka Gate of Kilimanjaro National Park was easy, by our standards. We quickly got into the forest zone and the big trees and listened to birds singing as we walked. We reached the end of our climbing trip by mid-morning and were amazed and surprised to sit down to a fine outdoor picnic set up for us at the park gate. The ride back down through Moshi and along the highway toward Arusha kept each of us glued to the windows, gazing at people, shops, farms and Tanzania in general. Coming back to the Dik Dik Hotel was quite relaxing. We were greeted as friends by the staff and made very welcome. It was an afternoon of showers and catching up with the electronic world. Our victory dinner was a chance to take stock of the trip so far and an opportunity to say goodbye to Richard and Kurenai who will fly out tomorrow as the rest of us go on safari.
Best Regards,
RMI Guide Dave Hahn

Apple Mac remote control not working
:: Tags: Computers
Re-enable Apple remote control after installing Boxee: After I installed Boxee alpha for Mac OS X, my Apple remote control stopped working in other applications (like Front Row and Plex). It's nice that Boxee makes the menu button on the remote launch the app itself, but having it hijack the remote control completely by default is not nice. In order to re-enable Apple remote control support for other applications, run Boxee, go into "Settings", and then "System". Uncheck "Always Running".

Sleeping on the Job
Posted by Davbmn on 01/31/07 at 10:02 PM
French to study sleeping on the job as a necessity
If you thought a 35 hour work week and long vacations were enough rest for the French, you were wrong. The French will spend $9 million to determine if taking a nap at work should be mandated.
France suffers from very high unemployment. If companies are forced to give nap time to employees, that would force them to hire more employees to get the same amount of productivity. If you want to study the difference between American and French culture you don't have to look very deep to see some big differences. The United States has low unemployment, high productivity, and no nap time. France could end up the complete opposite.

Fourth Sunday of Advent
The Advent wreath is in full flame now as we light the last candle for the Fourth Sunday of Advent. In today's Gospel reading, the story of the Annunciation, the angel Gabriel announces to Mary that she will conceive and bear the son of God (Lk 1:26-38). » Click here to read more
Third Sunday of Advent
As we begin the third week of Advent, we are fully engaged in active waiting. Here in the Northern Hemisphere the amount of natural daylight diminishes at a rapid rate.

Second Sunday of Advent
The Gospel readings for the Second and Third Sundays of Advent (Mark 1:1-8 and John 1:6-8, 19-28) both focus on John the Baptist, a rather eccentric figure living in the desert, clear about who he was and who he was not: John was not the Messiah, but one preparing the way with "a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins." » Click here to read more

New CLO musical comedy lots of fun for cast, audience
When folks enter The CLO Cabaret, they are walking into a television studio, about to become the audience for a hit show.
"Judge Jackie Justice — A New Musical Comedy," is making its world debut at the Cabaret and is the brainchild of Civic Light Opera executive producer Van Kaplan, who directs this tongue-in-cheek courtroom comedy love story. The creative team of Michael Kooman and Christopher Dimond gives the two-hour show some catchy songs and lines.
One of the amazing things is that the cast of five portrays 12 characters. The only performer in a one-character role is Kara Mikula, who does a wonderful job as the fiery-tongued tell-it-as-she-sees-it judge. Her antics are great and she is a vocal powerhouse.
Before the show opened for its world premiere, Mikula said she was having "so much fun" with the production. She described her character as a "tough cookie," burned by love in the past, whose rulings reflect that experience.
She does a nice job integrating her story into what's going on in the courtroom with her cases.
Although the judge's heart has been hardened when it comes to romance, there are moments when there is a glimmer of what it was like the one time she was in love.
Although the show takes place in a courtroom, each case deals with young love — and the crazy things people are willing to do because of that special someone. Even though it takes her until the end of the show to realize it, the judge has her own romantic storyline.
"The show is also a love story between Jackie and the bailiff, Henry," Mikula said.
Henry is played to by Jason Coll, who quickly becomes an audience favorite. His relaxed stage presence gives credibility to his character's dilemma — he's been in love with the judge for years but she has no idea.
"If You Only Knew" and "Henry's Confession" tell his heart-on-his-sleeve story. As the bailiff, Coll is responsible for making sure the "studio" audience knows what they are supposed to do and when — namely singing along with the theme song, "Judge Jackie Justice." He serves as photographer when folks are invited onstage before taping begins to have their picture taken with the judge.
Coll, too, plays multiple characters.
"We have a cast of five who play the judge, Henry, Shane, Woman 1 and Man 1. They play all the other characters," Mikula said. "They walk out one door as one character and back in another door as another character. Each character has a different costume and persona. It's a lot of fun."
Those characters are brilliantly portrayed by Maggie Carr as Woman 1, Connor McCanlus as Man 1 and Jonathan Visser as Shane, the studio exec and other roles. Carr and McCanlus are the defendants and plaintiffs for cases that involve zombies, spaceships, furries and characters from a Renaissance Festival. They speak Pittsburgh-ese, do some rapping, and offer up some red-necked accents to create the different roles — and make one case funnier than the next.
Because it's a new musical, the songs aren't familiar to theater-goers but they are great and give the background for each case. Tunessuch as "Ain't No Drill," "Like Your Mother Does," "Poob!" and "My Daddy Hate Me; Mean Mean Daddy! (Baby)" are fun and sure to generate laughs.
The courtroom looks real, complete with the elevated judge's bench, the bailiff's table, and the podiums for the defendant and plaintiff. Unlike a courtroom — even those on television — members of this studio audience are randomly chosen to take part in the show.
The small cast of "Judge Jackie Justice" delivers big laughs. If the audience reaction is any indication, the show is on the road to becoming a hit. After all, when a show's leading man uses pizza to win his love's heart, it can't be anything but a success.

9/11 and the Case for American Humility
August 24, 2011
In 2001, Americans were convinced that the United States was the center of the world. It was exactly a decade after the official end of the cold war and the triumphant eviction of Saddam Hussein from Kuwait. French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine had described us two years earlier as a "hyper-power." Beyond geopolitics, we were the source and the center of the forces of globalization: technology, finance, entrepreneurship, movies, music, fashion, and the mores of modernity. As our critics never tired of reminding us, we were deeply self-absorbed. September 11 intensified this view.
Force Everyone to the Table
November 27, 2006
It's time to make a virtue of necessity in Iraq. The country is sliding into full-blown civil war. The government is weak and getting weaker by the day; it also shows little willingness to make the minimum commitments necessary for stability--amending the constitution to guarantee Sunnis their share of national oil revenue, allowing lower-level Baathist officials to be rehabilitated, and disarming the militias. The Bush administration and many Democrats have been strenuously resisting these conclusions. But they may, in fact, be our most valuable diplomatic asset. If we accept this reality and

Joe Romano, Dejvid Mirkovic accused in plot to kill judge, prosecutor, FBI says
Joe Romano wanted the hitmen to kill a judge and prosecutor and then preserve their severed heads in formaldehyde.
The FBI says the 49-year-old New Yorker wanted to save the heads as souvenirs so he could revel in the deaths of the people who put him behind bars two years ago for swindling people out of $40 million in a collectible coins scheme.
But stuck in a New York prison, Romano, who owns a home in Boynton Beach, needed help to pay the killer. So, he recruited his friend in Palm Beach County to handle the $40,000 transaction.
Dejvid Mirkovic, of Lake Worth, was the middleman. But the "killers" were really FBI agents – and Mirkovic ended up in jail, too.
The FBI warrant for the arrest of Romano and Mirkovic details an elaborate plot the government says was aimed at revenge. The FBI says Romano wanted bloody retribution for the 15-year prison sentence already handed to him by a federal court. Romano had pleaded guilty to defrauding elderly customers by selling them fake collectible coins, a scheme prosecutors said cost victims more than $40 million.
Mirkovic was also in the coin business, and he owns a store in Delray Beach.
According to the warrant, the saga started on Aug. 7, when a confidential informant at the Nassau County Correctional Center learned Romano wanted to "torture" and "kill" the judge and prosecutor in the case.
Although the FBI report did not name the judge or attorney in Romano's sights, court records show Joseph F. Bianco, a federal judge in Central Islip, N.Y., presided over Romano's case and Assistant U.S. Attorney Lara Treinis Gatz led the prosecution.
On Aug. 10, Romano asked the informant to find him a hitman. The informant passed the request to the FBI, and two undercover agents assumed the roles of contract killers. One agent met with Romano at the prison, and recorded the conversation.
Romano decided to test his new employees – he asked them to beat up a guy with whom he had a financial dispute. Court documents only name the man as "John Doe."
Romano offered $3,000 and promised another job.
"A big job," Romano told one of the agents. "Some serious work."
On Sept. 25, it appeared the undercover officer delivered. Mirkovic hopped on a plane in Florida and flew to New York, where the officer showed Mirkovic fake photos that appeared to show "John Doe" had been assaulted.
Mirkovic paid the man and met with Romano at the jail to get more instructions.
Romano wanted the judge and prosecutor dead, the FBI report says.
He had $40,000 cash for the man who beheaded the duo and stored their heads in jars filled with formaldehyde.
He said he'd put down $20,000 to get the job started.
"Mirkovic provided specific requests from Romano regarding the manner in which the murders should take place," a FBI report says. "Romano requested that the heads of both the Judge and the AUSA be preserved in formaldehyde as souvenirs."
Later that day, Mirkovic met with an informant and paid him $2,000 as a down payment for the assassinations. He agreed to pay the balance when he returned to New York on Oct. 2.
But when Mirkovic got up to leave, the informant stopped him. He asked Mirkovic if he could accompany him to a bank to pick up the rest of the money. Mirkovic agreed, stopped at a bank and forked over another $9,900.
He pulled the money out an account named to Universal Coin Collections, Inc., Mirkovic's business headquarters in Delray Beach.
Before he left, Mirkovic gave the informant a heads up:
"Romano was willing to pay extra for the 'souvenirs,'" the report says, regarding the severed heads, "if the informant was willing to store them until Romano's release from prison."
On Oct. 2, Mirkovic hopped another plane to New York. He met with the informant and delivered an additional $10,000 for the assassinations.
He promised to pay the remaining $18,000 when the deed was done.
But he never got a chance. On Oct. 9, authorities got a warrant and moved in.
They arrested Mirkovic at his Lake Worth home, where agents recovered $18,000 in cash and a loaded 9mm semi-automatic handgun.
Earlier that morning, authorities searched Romano's house in Levittown, N.Y., and found $9,000 cash.
Romano appeared in federal court in New York on Tuesday afternoon. Mirkovic appeared in federal court in West Palm Beach the same day and was later taken to New York.
If convicted, both Mirkovic and Romano could spend their lives in prison.

The heart is located in the chest cavity, or thorax. It pumps blood from the lungs to the rest of the body.
A heart transplant may be recommended for heart failure caused by:
Heart transplant surgery is not recommended for patients who have:
Heart transplants are the third most common (corneas and kidneys are the most common) transplant operations in the U.S. (over 1,500 cases per year). A healthy heart is obtained from a donor who has suffered brain death but remains on life-support. The healthy heart is transported in a special solution that preserves the organ. While the patient is deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia), an incision is made through the breast bone (sternum). The patient's blood is re-routed through tubes to a heart-lung bypass machine to keep the blood oxygen-rich and circulating. The patient's diseased heart is removed and the donor heart is stitched in place.
Heart transplant prolongs the life of a patient who otherwise would die. About 80% of heart transplants are alive two years after the operation. The main problem, as with other transplants, is graft rejection. If rejection can be controlled, then survival can be increased up to 10 years or more. Immunosuppressive drugs must be taken indefinitely. Relatively normal activities can resume as soon as the patient feels well enough and after consulting with his or her doctor. However, vigorous physical activities should be avoided.
The major problems are the same all major organ transplants face:
