Building Tips
and Tricks:
The artist's instructions for integrating the buildings into the platform are very good. The Balsa wood trick is easy and works well. The only thing I'd add to the Balsa Wood process is to glue or double side tape the Balsa strip to one of the pieces because you'll get a much better fit. And, there are two other tricks that I discovered that will save you a lot of time and will make the Platform look great.
Easy way to fill the gap behind the buildings:
This tip will save you a lot of time and will help make the platform look great. In 20 minutes you'll fill in all the gaps behind all the buildings and it will look great. Here's what you do:
Buy a 1 qt bag of Woodland Scenics Clump Foliage in Dark Green (FC684). I promise it will be the best $5 you've ever spent. Place clumps of the Foliage in the gaps behind the buildings. It looks just like a nice, lush, green, hedge! It's very easy - much easier than trying to cut balsa. And, the springy nature of the foliage also presses the buildings forward toward the street holding them firmly in place.
Here's another example of how the foliage looks behind the buildings compared with plain balsa. The photos aren't quite identical, but you can see how the foliage adds height, texture, and color to the wall behind the Plaza Inn. It also helps disquise the break in the wall.
Some collectors have complained about the blank white wall behind the Astro Orbitor. Using the foliage behind the Astro Orbitor dramatically softens the wall, adds interest and height, and breaks up that flat expanse of white. The green foliage also helps integrate the Astro Orbitor into the general look of the Platform.
In the example to the right we're using the Light Green foliage clusters to soften the gap between the Castle and it's adjacent pieces, Triton's Grotto and Carnation. Without the foliage the gap is quite evident and distracting. With the foliage in place the gaps are much less evident and the overall look is much clearner. And, it takes only a few seconds to do.
Here we're using the foliage to fill in the area between the trees on the East side of Main Street. It completely hides the wall and makes for a more lush look. In fact, I used the foliage almost anywhere there was a gap. I think it's one of the great "no brainers" in the construction of the platform. Let me know what you think.
Using Caulks to Fill Gaps:
Travis strongly recommends installing the buildings such that they can be removed easily and allow the replacement of those pesky 1.3mm light bulbs. Besides, the Balsa wood technique works fine for most of the straight gaps between the buildings and the street. While generally true, there are two places where I found that using a Caulk was easier than using balsa. When I refer to "Caulk", I'm talking about using paintable, water soluable, adhesive Caulk like this one.
The first place where I used Caulk was around the Train Station. It's already glued down and can't be moved, so adding Caulk was not an issue. With a little masking the caulk went on easy and made a much flatter and cleaner installation than is possible with Balsa especially on the Street side of the Station.
You can see the finished result on the Street side of the Train Station. This is an area that's very difficult to look flat and clean with all the different levels of the pieces coming together. With the Caulks you can make the transitions look very smooth considering the differences in height of the pieces involved.
The second place I used Caulking is the area around the Hub and Town Square. The gaps in those areas are inconsistent and have dramatic curves. I couldn't figure out how to get a clean look so I came up with a way to use Caulk and the result was great. Here's what you do using the Hub as an example:
Pull the Hub out of the platform. Cover the hole in the platform with Painters Tape. Cut out the hole with an exacto knife. Cover the Hub with Saran Wrap and tape it down so it won't move. The Caulk won't stick very strongly to the Saran Wrap. Place the wrapped Hub back into the hole at the desired height. Pump Caulk into the gap so it extends down 1/8" or so. Use a piece of wood or blade to flatten out the Caulk making sure that very little is on the Saran Wrap above street level (it's hard to remove later) and so that the tape is showing. That's when I took the above photo. As soon as you're done with the smoothing remove the painters tape. Wait 24hrs. Loosen the Saran Wrap from the Hub. Pull out the Hub leaving the Saran Wrap in place. Carefully pull back the Saran Wrap off of the Caulk. If the Caulk is still squishy wait another 12-24hrs. Once the wrap is off wait another 48hrs for the Caulk to completely cure (else the Hub will stick to it). Then all you do is paint the Caulk, put the Hub back into place, and you're done. There's a lot of waiting for the Caulk to dry, but it's only an hour or so of actual work.

The risk of environmental impairment is known by a more familiar term: pollution. Regardless of the term you use to refer to this risk, it poses a considerable threat to many businesses, including organized camps. As if the risks of environmental damage weren't problem enough to manage, both federal and state governments have complicated matters by enacting sweeping and sometimes vague legislation that makes compliance difficult.
Fortunately, organized camps are stewards of the environment, not polluters. Preservation of the natural beauty and idyllic settings many camps enjoy is an important aspect of camp's mission. Teaching children respect and appreciation for the environment of camp and the world creates hope for the future and helps create "a world of good." An environmental tragedy at camp would be the antithesis to this philosophy and fundamental value of camp. While no camp director would be intentionally neglectful, the risks of environmental impairment/pollution can catch even the most risk management-minded camp director off guard.
Federal regulators, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in particular, along with their state counterparts are focused on identifying sources of pollution and on presenting the potentially responsible parties with the bill for cleaning up the environment. This can be very expensive and potentially devastating to your business. Chances are the clean-up costs and the attendant civil liabilities that are generated by an environmental incident are not covered by general liability insurance.
Until 1986, most Comprehensive General Liability (CGL) policies covered the "sudden and accidental" release, discharge, or overflow of pollutants. Today, most CGL policies exclude the pollution/environmental impairment risk nearly completely, leaving your organization "bare" and probably in a position of assuming this risk blindly. While there is some insurance coverage available in the marketplace for environmental impairment liability, it is often limited in scope. Consequently, the best plan of action remains a combination of education, solid risk management practice, and insurance.
Identifying Environmental Impairment Risks
By now, you may be wondering where the environmental impairment and pollution risks are at camp. That is exactly the right thought and the place to begin; risk identification is the first step in the risk management process. Consider the following environmental impairment risks:
These are just a few of the areas where the risk of environmental impairment/pollution is present at camp. You can probably identify others unique to your site and operation. Take some time now to develop a comprehensive list of environmental impairment exposures.
You may want to seek outside help developing your list of environmental risks. If you do, look in the telephone book yellow pages under "Environmental & Ecological Products and Services" to find consultants who do environmental site assessments. They may be able to help with risk identification, along with risk management and compliance issues.
Besides using outside consultants, some directors call upon other directors for assistance. Others study the issue and educate themselves and associates to increase awareness of the risks. If you are interested in this approach, check out the EPA's Web site, www.epa.gov [1]. Whichever approach you take, realize that accidents that result in environmental damage present a catastrophic exposure to your camp business and to the site you occupy.
Managing the Risks
Once you have your list of exposures, develop an approach to managing each one. This is the risk-control step in the risk management process.
Underground storage tanks
Aboveground storage tanks
Managing environmental risks is challenging. Protecting the camp environment as a place to help children grow into responsible adults takes dedication, a lot of hard work, vigilance, and knowledge.

J Vineyards & Winery Russian River Pinot Noir 2012
Pinot Noir from Russian River, California
Winemaker's Notes
J Vineyards Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is a lush, ruby-red wine that vibrantly showcases a dried herb and subtle black pepper and fennel character. Aromas of classic cherry fruit fill the glass. The wine delivers savory flavors of vanilla, cola, and smoky barbecue.
This Russian River Valley Pinot Noir pairs perfectly with many rustic foods, such as grilled Portobello mushrooms, smoked country ham, or savory duck confit braised in this wine.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "It's hard to imagine a better Pinot for drink right now. It's so rich and spicy offering tiers of raspberry and cherry preserves, ripe Christmas persimmons and pomegranates, and a delicious coating of smoky new oak. The tannin-acid balance is perfect. "
Tasting Panel - "Rich and juicy with deep cherry and savory flavors; ripe, earthy and balanced with lovely texture and a long, intense finish."
J Vineyards & Winery
Founded by Judy Jordan in 1986, J Vineyards & Winery is an independently owned Sonoma County winery. Located on Old Redwood Highway south of Healdsburg, the winery focuses on Brut and Brut Rose sparkling wines, as well as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris - terroir-driven varietal wines, produced from estate-grown grapes farmed primarily within Sonoma County's Russian River Valley appellation. In 1994, the first small lots of Pinot Noir varietal wines were produced at J, but sparkling wine continued to be the winery's focus. In 2006, J formally launched an estate varietal program based on its 254-acres of Russian River Valley vineyards. Today, under the direction of winemaker Melissa Stackhouse, J Vineyards & Winery produces several small-lot Pinot Noirs. The winery celebrates its 25th harvest in 2012.

About Russian RiverView a map of Russian River wineries
The Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to Christmas trees.
Notable FactsThe proximity of this cool river and the rolling fogs from the Pacific Ocean make the area amenable to cool-climate grapes like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In fact, the region is quite known for its full-bodied, yet elegant Pinot Noir, as well as their ripe, yet lean Chardonnays. Within Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. Chalk Hill is the warmer of the two and furthest from the ocean, while Green Valley is cooler and closer to the water.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

14 Acre Farm really is a farm! Our CSA (stands for Community Sustained Agriculture) program is an excellent way to experience fresh, seasonal eating. Every Wednesday, members come directly to the farm in Summit Hill, PA to pick up a weekly share of whatever we have fresh. (Sorry, we have no additional drop-off points.) The variety of produce shifts from week-to-week, season-to-season, but a typical week includes:
One bag of salad/raw greens
One bag of cooking greens
2 loaves of fresh bread (there are a variety of staples to choose from)
5 additional in-season vegetable picks (examples: beets, carrots, tomatoes, eggplant, radishes, turnips, onions, potatoes, squash, etc.)
The share feeds approximately a family of four, but it really depends on the family. Some couples find it is perfect for two, while some families of 4 or more say it is almost too much.
The Full Share gives you full-on vegetable access from Spring right through Fall. You'll start the year in greens overload, get all the bounties of Summer, and end the year with squash, potatoes, garlic, and other hardy fall crops as the air gets crisp and the leaves are at their peak.
The Summer Share is perfect for busy families. It begins just as the school year ends, and ends just as the school year is beginning and Fall starts to get hectic. It is also ideal for those who prefer the traditional produce of summer: tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, green beans, etc.
Sara and Denege will be your happy assistants. They will help guide you through the choices, and are glad to offer cooking suggestions or ideas.
2015 will be our 11th season of CSA. We have wonderful, friendly, and loyal members, some of whom have been with us from the very beginning. Interested in joining us? Here is the information for 2015:
Full Share (24 Weeks) 5/13/15 – 10/21/15 = $600
Summer Share (11 Weeks) 6/17/15 – 8/26/15 = $300
Payment is due no later than April 1st, 2015. We are limited in the number of shares, so please let us know ASAP if you'd like to join. We understand that money is often tight. If you'd like to make arrangements to set up a payment plan, we'd be glad to work with you-just send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

HSDM and Wampanoag Tribe Collaborate on Oral Health Care
Earlier this fall, HSDM and the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) signed a memorandum of understanding to create better access to oral and systemic health care for the tribe and other underserved community members on the Massachusetts island of Martha's Vineyard. The agreement also provides opportunities for dental and other health-related students to practice culturally competent oral public health care through the Martha's Vineyard Hospital facilities.
As part of HSDM's global and community oral health initiative, a dedicated team of students and faculty formed the HSDM Committee for Wampanoag Oral Health, led by HSDM faculty member Brian Swann, DDS, MPH. One driver of the Committee's efforts is to fulfill the commitment laid out in the 1650 Harvard University charter to educate the "Indian youth of this country." Both Native American members of the Harvard Class of 1665 belonged to the Wampanoag tribe.
Because of financial and geographic barriers, the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) has encountered many challenges to accessing dental care. The HSDM team and the tribe are working together to improve access to care and imagine the possibility of a sustainable, comprehensive, and family-centered oral health care system for the native population. The team of students and faculty has participated in several Wampanoag powwows and tribal meetings to learn more about the community and culture, as well as assessing the range of oral health needs through screenings. Beyond tabulating the data for an assessment of the community's oral and systemic health needs, HSDM is working with the tribe to build bridges of trust and understanding in order to effectively deliver clinical dentistry.
In September, students from HSDM and Northeastern University attended the 9th annual Aquinnah Wampanoag powwow at Gay Head Circle on Martha's Vineyard. Led by Swann, the students spent the weekend performing oral health screenings for young and elderly attendees and providing information about oral hygiene, the relationship between oral and systemic health, careers in dentistry, and other health-related topics.
The HSDM Wampanoag oral health program is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Dental Pipeline National Learning Institute and is featured in an article on the Foundation's website.

Not everyone plans for tomorrow. And for those who'd rather live for today, the subject of retirement rarely is top of mind. Ask one of those people, "What is an IRA account?" and the response may well be a blank stare.
But time catches up to us all. And for many, an IRA (individual retirement account) is a financial vehicle that provides tax incentives to encourage individuals to save money for their years after employment.
An IRA Should Be Part of Your Nest Egg
Many of the financial planners we've talked to answer that question, "What is an IRA account?" with a shorter answer that runs along the lines of, "An IRA is something you really should be looking at if you want to build a healthy retirement nest egg."
"IRAs are a crucial part of a retirement strategy," said Nicholas LaVerghetta, a certified financial planner with NCM Capital Management, LLC, in Ramsey, New Jersey. In a recent Ally Bank interview, he added, "I stress to clients that the sooner one can open one and start contributing, the better off they will be."
There are different kinds of IRAs, and they can hold a wide range of financial products, from higher-risk choices like stocks to lower-risk ones like CDs. The range of options provides an opportunity to pick an IRA that fits into almost any financial plan.
An IRA is Portable, Too. Here's Why
You can roll over money from some other retirement plans into an IRA. And many experts say this can often be a wise decision.
"Leaving your current job? Then you've got a great opportunity to roll over your 401(k) into an IRA," SmartMoney notes. "This will give you many more investment options than either leaving the money in your old 401(k) or rolling it over into your new employer's plan."
Handle IRA Rollovers with Care
You need to handle any rollover properly if you want to avoid paying taxes on the disbursement. As a general rule, you have 60 days from the day you receive the money to complete a rollover to avoid taxes. And you may only roll over funds from the same IRA once every 12 months for traditional and SEP (simplified employee pension) IRAs.
There's another wrinkle: If you have your old employer cut you a check for the money, it will be subject to 20 percent withholding and possible tax penalties, even if you plan to roll it over. To avoid that headache, financial planners recommend a direct rollover, where the funds go straight from your old plan to your IRA.
Ally Bank is Here to Help
We make it easy to open an IRA at Allybank.com, where you will find more information about both IRAs and rollovers. In addition, live customer care representatives are available 24/7 to answer your questions at 877-247-ALLY (2559).

Product DescriptionWith 17 kills in all, with the most consistently gargantuan bucks we've ever encountered, Dream Season 13 is 2-1/2 hours of spellbinding action you'll dream about at night. With an unbelievable five bucks over 160" and eight bucks over 150", this was a season of unrivaled magnitude for the blood brothers and sisters of Drury Outdoors.
Mark Drury's 6-year obsession with an Iowa monstrosity named Chiquita comes to a close in PSE style as he finally puts his hands on the 9-1/2-year-old, 174" legend.

My Email Digests
Here are my stats: We are trying for baby #2. I had my Mirena removed on 4/3/13 after having it in since 8/2012. I did not know that I was pregnant with baby #1 for 3 months due to issues that I was having with a very large fibroid. I found out about baby #1 when I went to my pre-op MRI for fibroid surgery. The fibroid was successfully removed during the beginning of my 2nd trimester. The 1st day of my last menstrual cycle was 4/25/13 and it ended the following Monday, 4/30/13. I have between a 22-23 day cycle. We had sex on 5/1/13 & 5/3/13. My ovulation should have happened 5/4/13 and my period should have began on 5/18/13. I started to feel symptoms of pregnancy during the past 7-10 days: Nausea(no vomiting), feeling like period was coming, but no bleeding, increasingly tired, cravings, smell sensitivity, increased gas and some breast sensitivity. I had a teeny tiny spot of blood when I wiped on 5/15/13-11 dpo. I had taken a home pregnancy test either 10-11 dpo and it was negative. I took a home pregnancy test 12dpo on Thursday, 5/16/13 and it was a very clear positive. My I took another test yesterday...an extremely faint positive. I was prompted to take another test because my tummy was bothering me. I have tested a couple of times since then & they have been negative. Today, I have some spotting when I wipe. I have a pantyliner on and it is not hitting the liner. It seems to be streaks of red/brown mixed in with clear discharge. No clots. I am so confused. We were so excited when we saw that positive last Thursday. What is the possibility of not being pregnant? Was my hcg level really high with that positive test and has it been low since? My period has been regular since I had the fibroid removed and I had no complications with Mirena removal. Any advice would be appreciatedView Thread

Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is of major public heath importance with an estimated cost to the United States of over $600 billion dollars annually in health care costs, crime, and lost productivity. Despite its devastating impact, there are still limited treatments available. State-of-the-art basic and translational studies at Mount Sinai are providing novel neuropathophysiological insights to enhance the development of new treatments to prevent and better treat addiction disorders.
Genetic and Epigenetic Basis of Drug Addiction
Addiction disorders are complex illnesses that are strongly influenced by individual genetics and environmental factors. Depending on the drug (licit and illicit), approximately 30-80% of the addiction risk is known to be heritable. There is also a significant gene x environment interaction leading to epigenetic disturbances through alterations in chromatin structure within reward regions of brain that control drug addiction vulnerability and the course of the disorder. Mount Sinai scientists are leading the field in characterizing genetic and epigenetic mechanisms associated with addiction disorders. These studies, conducted in human subjects and in animal models, hold great promise for expanded knowledge into the neurobiological underpinnings of addiction.
Scientist Involved: Alison Goate, Lakshmi A. Devi, Yasmin L. Hurd, Paul Kenny, Eric J. Nestler, Scott J. Russo, Anne Schaefer, Venetia Zachariou
Neural Circuit Basis of Drug Addiction
Revolutionizing the current insights into addiction is dependent on identifying neural circuits in the brain directly linked to specific addiction phenotypes, some of which are shared with comorbid psychiatric illnesses such as depression and schizophrenia. Mount Sinai scientists have been pioneers in using cutting edge approaches for in vivo circuit mapping including optogenetics, chemogenetics, and brain imaging of addiction-related disorders.
Scientist Involved: Rita Goldstein, Ming-Hu Han, Yasmin L. Hurd, Iliyan Ivanov, Nelly Alia-Klein, Eric J. Nestler, Scott J. Russo, Paul Slesinger
New Treatments for Drug Addiction
The strong interaction between preclinical, translational, and clinical scientists at Mount Sinai enhances the translation of findings in animal models and the human laboratory into clinical. The Mount Sinai Health System is now working with a committed team of doctors and other health care providers to promote the discovery of new diagnostic and treatment approaches.

Tag: gift
Today would be a much happier day if it wasn't Wednesday. Oh wait, it's Thursday. THANK GOD. I mean, it's not like Wednesday is actually a bad day or anything. In fact I felt fabulous yesterday! It's just that I really hate spelling the word "Wednesd….". Ew. BLAH! Why can't it just be spelled like it sounds. Why???
Anyway – not like this has anything to do with what I've been babbling about- here ya go! I promised that there would be 5-lists for the rest of the week, and for today, I'm keepin' that promise. Here's some pretty rad conversation pieces for your homestead - five of em'. YEY!
Vintage Book Clocks Find em': here (for $20 bucks & up): Seriously check out this store. Whether your a slutty librarian, a regular librarian, or just your average person who has read a book or two, there are like, a ba-zillion varieties of book clocks waiting to be sold. They are the awesomest.
Electric Blue Hippo Planter (find it: here for $20 bucks). There is no good reason why I find this so fascinating. Hippos, although sorta-kinda cute in that "chubby baby" sorta way, are rather vicious creatures (thanks hot animal dude Dave Salmoni). And, history suggests that I have never successfully grown a plant in my whole entire life. Either way, I kinda-sorta need to have this like, yesterday.
Black Birdcage Lamp with Ceramic Socket (find it: here for $45 bucks): I am in love with this lighting and you can't make me say anything more than that. So there. Buy this light (for me…).
Distortion Candlesticks (find em': here for $24 bucks ea.) These are so fun. Alice & Wonderland meets Dr. Seuss and then they light a couple of candles and get all smoochy-like. Disco.
City Plates Collection / New Orleans, Las Vegas, Washington, D.C. & Dubai (find it: here for $180 bucks). Holy cow, I love these plates. The only problem is that they are like $45 bucks a plate. And, unless I'm rich and totally forgot that I'm rich, I don't see myself buying one or more $45 dollar plates anytime in the near future. That doesn't mean that you can't buy them for me though. And, when I say "you" I mean you Santa. You are totally rich (and also quite handsome, I might add).
Ok, so that's what I got.
Knock em' dead!
See ya later.
Okay, bye.
Just kidding. There is not a fly in my soup. But, there could be an octopus in my coffee, thanks to the cutest and coolest cup making person-shop ever born, ever.
These absatootly adorable Creature Cups were born amid a bunch of Brooklyn area based designers (Holla to Brooklyn for producing some of my favoritest things, P.S). Anyway, apparently these lil' dudes were "crawling around" in their heads for quite some time until finally, one of them learned how to speak English and said "Hey awesome Brooklyn designer? Please put me in a cup.". And, that was that.
OCTOPUS CREATURE CUP for around $15 bucks
Meet the Octopus. Creeping along the bottom of your cup, the Octopus is up to noooo good. He'll be a little startled if you catch him, and who knows what he's doing if you don't.
I would like to catch him. Under my Thanksgivingmas turkey or Christmas tree.
Find it: here
CROCODILE CREATURE CUP for around $15 bucks
Meet the Crocodile. Lurking beneath the surface he silently emerges. Watch out. He snaps.
Ya know? This thing is so damn cute, I might let it bite my face off "just cuz".
Find it: here
They also have a super cute Sea Otter and Lobsta (available here). And, if you can't decide? You can always by a set of 2 or the full set of 4 right here.
I can't wait for Turkey Santa or regular Santa to bring these to me! Yey!

This Giveaway has ended.
Happy Birthday to my hubby! In honor of his birth, I thought I'd write a post about stuff boys like. All in all, boys are pretty cool. It's hit or miss on the smells. They either bathe in cologne, or forget how to shower. But, for the most part, they're pretty awesome. Lately, I've been getting some pretty great feedback from the opposite sex regarding my hot bod…just kidding…about my blog – but it all has the same sorta theme: "I could do without the girly products and stuff, but I laughed my ass of when you wrote about….". I feel honored! So, I figured today was as good a day as any to show em' a lil' lovin' back by poppin' off a couple of awesomes that are fit for dudes of all shapes, sizes, races, colors and creeds (what the H is a "creed" anyway?). Don't worry girlfriends. Normal, girl-ish stuff coming back on Monday.
Number-o One: Werd
Werd is pretty awesome if you have man parts. Or, if you have lady parts, but wanna get the coolest gift ever (like these Guinness Brownies) for your fave guy. Werd showcases the "best new gear for men", which is broken down for you gerber-style in categories (like tech, gear, wear, host, media, ride, space, groom, sport & escape). Say that 5 times fast. You can also peruse it in blog format if your handy on the internets like my hubby. I for one, plan on buying these brownies to celebrate my man's birthday. Of course I'll be wasted after the face-stuffing, so there will be no time to wallow in my fat-misery (just kidding, diet). Find it: here.
Numeral II: Bespoke Post "Box of Awesome" (no seriously. That's what it's called!)
Okay men. Let's not pretend that you aren't majorly jealous of all the subscription boxes out there for the ladies. Well, sirs..be jealous no longer. As far as boxes for dudes go, this one is pretty cool. Unlike most of the lady subscription boxes, the Box of Awesome from Bespoke Post hooks you up with stuff "you've never heard of" made by emerging craftsmen and designers and such. Best part? You don't have to commit. BINGO! Each month they tell you what's comin' your way, and you can choose to take it, or skip it. For $45 bucks a month, this is a pretty good deal. Check out August's "Alchemy" box (pictured above) filled with everything you need for your man-cave-bar-thingy. Find it: here
Numba 3 Skinny Fatties
If you haven't heard, skinny is the new fatty – ONLY when it comes to ties. Otherwise, all, shapes, sizes and curves are in, FYI. Thanks to the peeps at PureWOW for bringing this genius/company service into my life. If you are in to rockin' the skinny tie and have a bunch of largies you're lookin' to thinify, Skinny Fatties is your new best guy friend. Do guys even say that? $30 buck investment. Do it. Find em': here.
4-score and seven years ago…(four, duh): Dollar Shave Club
Dolla, dolla shave ya'll. "Like most good ideas, Dollar Shave Club started with two guys who were pissed off about something and decided to do something about it…" Any company that has an "about" section that starts with that sentence is pimpdiddy pimp in my eyes! Whether you're a wooly mammoth, or just your average dude that has to shave every now and then, do your ladies delicate skin a favor and hook yourself up with Dollar Shave Club. For as little as one doll-hair ($1) per month, you can get super awesome razors to shave your man hairs, and you won't have to put sticky notes all over your house to remember to buy more. Done, and done. Find it: here (if anything, just check out the video on their home page. Hilarious.) Oh, yeah. Almost forgot. Thanks to my friend Sesquille for the hook up on this one. He is in fact an international man of mystery and leisure, so I wouldn't expect anything less.
Last, but not leastly (5): Imaginary Foundation
Who doesn't like a good T-shirt? Especially boys. Just look at Simon Cowell. That guy has two outfits. Casual, which includes an all white T-shirt and jeans, and fancy-pants which includes an all black tee and jeans. Anyway, my hubby just purchased 2 T-shirts from these peeps (shown above), so naturally I had to include them today since it's his birthday and all. You probably have to get a PhD to understand what these t-shirts even mean. Thankfully, they have shirts with swear words for us peasants. Find yours: here.
Happy Friday!!

OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE TOTALLY COOL {FringeLore}
Ladies! Totally awesome jewelry alert comin' your way. But first things first. I have the COOLEST hubby on the planet. Who, by the way, is also a super-duper awesome gift giver (and about to have a birthday in a couple days, so I got my work cut out for me). I hope, hope, hope that your man is just as good at gift givin'. But, if he's not, throw a net over his head and get him in front of this post, ASAP.
Boys, pay attention, cuz I'm about to crack open the vault and share my man's secrets of awesome gift giving. Keep your eyes peeled, ladies. I got some secrets of my own, that just might help the cause… Ready, set, go.
In all of 4 years, I've never received a single thing from my man that I didn't like, no scratch that, really like a whole lot and/or love like crazy. And, I'm not saying that because there is a 99.9 percent chance he's reading this (you better be reading this babe!). It really is true and here's why: He pays attention. Wait, what? Boys pay attention?
Yes. Totally. Especially when you write the names and websites of the stuff you want across your boobs. JUST kidding. You don't have to write it on your boobs. You just have to say it out loud in your "hey look at my boobs voice" so they can imagine what it looks like spelled out on those lovely lady lumps of yours. When I say something is cool, or gush-on about a thing I need to have, he puts it in his memory bank (aka, written across boobs) and breaks that baby out just in time to make me swoon. I'm sure this lil' blog helps a ton too. But, mostly, he just pays attention to what I like, and remembers it, because he visualizes it with something he likes (you know, the "B" word). It's that simple.
Moral of the story? Girls use your boob voice. Dudes, pay attention. Happiness had by all.
And, now on to the real star of this post – introducing, FringLore. I mentioned this fab lil' shop in a post a bazillion years ago (so long ago, I can't find it). And, Mr. Wonderful read that post, and put it in the boob bank. Happy Birthday to me! I got a 3-month surprise earring subscription!
I was 150% stoked to get the first set of earrings. These Steampunk Antique Elgin Watch Plate Earrings were DOPE! I loved the contrast of the old watch plates combined with the black Swarovski Crystals. This girl (Miss Julie Morris) is an ace at keeping with the theme right down to the that lil' pointy thing that goes in your ear.
Find em': here for $36 bucks
Set #2 were equally awesome. Like the first set, these earrings get a lot of action – people are always asking me where I got them and begging for the hook up. They are so unique!
Sterling Wired Steampunk Earrings for $42 bucks
Find em': here
For whatever reason, I didn't get my last pair right away. Naturally, I wanted to stomp around like a 3-year-old and cry, but instead, I sent a little note to Julie and we realized that they had somehow not gotten to me due to my address change. So, because it took a bit longer than expected to get them, Julie did me a solid. She sent me the awesome set shown right (similar to these guys for $32 bucks) AND this really cool Romantic Artifact Necklace pictured below for FREE (available here for $66 bucks). Although I didn't expect the extra at all, it was so cool and thoughtful of her to send it to me for my troubles.
What's the meaning of FringeLore?
(in Julie's words)
"For as long as I can recall, I've had a fascination with old things. They seem to embody tales and stories of previous lives, of people since past and because of this provide a sense of connectedness with generations past. I like to think of the tales and lore carried in these items as being on the fringe; the fringe of memory, the fringe of society, the consciousness…about to blow off in the wind and be lost forever."
I'm so happy to be on the Fringe with you Julie! Thanks to you (and my awesome hubby) for such a great birthday gift. Who's in?

Servania to defend title from Muñoz-A A +A
Saturday, January 25, 2014
PROMISING young prospect Genesis Servania will once again be tested if he indeed is the real deal with a daunting task in his next assignment.
Servania, one of the hottest super bantamweight prospects, will defend his World Boxing Organization (WBO) Inter-Continental crown with his most celebrated opponent to date, former two-time world champion Alexander Muñoz, in the next edition of the popular boxing series, Pinoy Pride, on March 1 at the posh Solaire Resort and Casino in Manila.
"It is going to be the biggest test of Servania more that (Rafael) Concepcion. Everyone in the boxing world knows who Muñoz is because he is a two-time world champion, who has fought the best in the division. He lost his last fight to one of the best super bantamweights now, Leo Santa Cruz, in the undercard of Mayweather vs. Guerrero. This is the reason why ALA Gym sent Servania to the US to train and to prepare for this fight.
This fight should answer questions about Servania," ALA Promotions president Michael Aldeguer told Sun.Star Cebu yesterday.
The 22-year-old Servania was impressive in his last fight, knocking out former interim World Boxing Association (WBA) super flyweight titleholder Rafael Concepcion cold in the second round of their encounter last October here in Cebu City.
However, Muñoz is at a different level from Concepcion. The 34-year-old Venezuelan is a two-time WBA super flyweight king. He has faced the who's who of the lower weight division – the likes of former world champions Sorpichai Kratingdaenggym, Celes Kobayashi, Martin Castillo, Nobuo Nashiro, Cristian Mijares, Katsushige Kawashima and Koki Kameda; and current World Boxing Council super bantamweight titlist Leo Santa Cruz.
Muñoz, who has been fighting sporadically in the past few years, fought Santa Cruz last year and was stopped in the fifth round.
Muñoz is 36-5 with 28 knockouts, while Servania is unbeaten at 23-0 with nine knockouts.
Aldeguer believes that this should be Servania's measuring stick if he wants to challenge for a world title soon.
"We are not really rushing Genesis. We still have to see how he will do in this fight against Muñoz," he said,
Servania has set up training camp in the US, training at both the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles and Erik Morales' gym in Tijuana, Mexico.

October 2012 Update
Ruth Rising (1988)
Dear Friends,
I don't know where the time goes! I just wanted to give you a quick update of all that has been happening at Bethesda over the last few weeks. We have so much to praise the Lord for – One of my top praises is that in the month of September, three of our girls have accepted Christ as their personal Savior. Each one of the girls initiated conversations with a mother, teacher and another staff member and it was very clear that God was working in their lives. We have seen differences in their lives over the last few weeks as the Holy Spirit is helping them to learn to please God in all that they do. You can pray for their parents, teachers and all of us who see them daily that we would continue to teach them faithfully and encourage them in their walk with the Lord!
NEW Intern!
We have a new intern at Bethesda and her name is Melissa. Melissa is from Kansas City and has visited Bethesda several times previously on a team. She is going to be at Bethesda for at least a year and is helping me in the office. She is also going to help with the many teams and visitors that we have throughout the year as well. She has been such a help already and has such a sweet spirit.
Bible Study
My weekly Bible study with the young ladies at church is growing—we have had a few new ladies visit or join us which is always encouraging! We have started doing a series by D. A. Carson called, The God Who Is There. It is a series that primarily targets young believers or those who are interested in knowing what the Bible actually says about God and our place in this world. We are doing it to both strengthen our knowledge of the Bible and God; but also, to help us be better equipped to explain the Bible and its teachings to those who are not saved. Many people have just heard "things" about God and the Bible and have drawn various conclusions about religion (many of which are wrong).
We want to be better equipped to speak the truth (not debate or argue) and hope and pray that we will be more effective in speaking accurately about God and the Bible as He gives us opportunities to share the gospel.
Thank You!!
I have had two churches send WONDERFUL gifts to Bethesda recently! One church sent two boxes of school supplies which is a huge help to us as we pay for all the supplies, uniforms, books, etc for each Bethesda child. Another church has a ladies group who make stunning quilts for the children! They have sent some before but had another box of beautiful quilts ready for some of our medium sized children. Thank you SO much for the supplies and the quilts! Also, a HUGE thank you to one of my churches who used me as their VBS offering project. What a nice surprise to hear of their sweet gift!
Support Update and Prayer Request
This week is the Annual Board Meetings with board members from the USA, Zambia and South Africa. Our director and all of us staff people have been working hard to get all of the needed information put together so that as much information can be communicated as possible as effectively as possible. We are blessed to have excellent people who love the Lord who are committed to this orphan ministry.
As we are working to get organized for the board members, we have to spend a lot of time evaluating both Bethesda's finances, as well as our individual finances and it right now, more money is going out of my account each month than is coming in. It's not a good trend and it is not something that can continue for long. I will say that the churches and the individuals that do support me are some of the most faithful people that I have met and I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your long time support. This is SUCH an important ministry and I am privileged to be a part of it.
Because Bethesda is an organization with a small staff, we each have pretty big responsibilities (which we love!) but it makes it hard to leave for any length of time. I have to plan for almost a year to come home for 6-8 weeks to make sure that my responsibilities carry on for the time that I am gone. It is not a viable plan for me to come back to the USA for a long length of time to raise support so I am going to have to work to increase my monthly support from here as much as is possible. I REALLY need your prayers for this. I never enjoy speaking of finances and prefer to pretend they aren't necessary for as long as possible but I don't want to be unwise either. I continue to seek ways to reduce my living costs and to keep monthly costs down but costs here continue to go up (petrol is almost $6.00/gallon now!). God is faithful and will continue to supply all that I need and I am thankful for that! Thank YOU for your part in this ministry!
Much love and sincere thanks,
Ruth A. Rising

Jake Owen Rips His Pants On Stage…And There's Video!
May 20, 2013 4:42 PM
See, this is why I don't wear tight pants! Jake Owen ripped his pants while performing last weekend in Charleston, SC. Oh and by the way, he was going commando! He was a trooper though as he just wrapped his t-shirt around his, ummmm, problem area and finished the show.
Jake was a good sport about the whole thing and had some fun on his Twitter…

If you are outdoors enjoying your
favorite sport, you presumably do not intend to jeopardize your life.
Hypothermia may be a new word to you, but it is the only word that
describes the rapid, progressive mental and physical collapse accompanying the
chilling of the inner core of the human body. Hypothermia is caused by exposure
to cold, aggravated by wet, wind, and exhaustion. It is the number one
killer of outdoor recreationalists
EXPOSURE AND EXHAUSTION The moment your body begins
to lose heat faster than it produces it, you are undergoing exposure.
Two things happen:
Either response drains your
energy reserves. The only way to stop the drain is to reduce the degree of
HYPOTHERMIA If
exposure continues until your energy reserves are exhausted:
This is hypothermia. Your
internal temperature is sliding downward. Without treatment, this slide leads
to stupor, collapse, and death.
If you can not stay dry
and warm under existing weather conditions, using the clothes you have with
you, do whatever is necessary to be less exposed.
Persistent or violent
shivering is a clear warning that you are on the verge of hypothermia. MAKE
Make camp while you still
have a reserve of energy. Allow for the fact that exposure greatly reduces your
normal endurance. You may think you are doing fine when the fact that you are
exercising is the only thing preventing your going into hypothermia. If
exhaustion forces you to stop, however brief:
Make the best protected and
experienced member of your party responsible for calling a halt before the
least protected member becomes exhausted or goes into violent shivering.
If your group is exposed
to WIND, COLD, OR WET, think hypothermia. Watch yourself and others for the
The victim may deny he/she
is in trouble. Believe the symptoms, not the person. Even mild symptoms demand
immediate treatment.
Loss of body heat to the
water, is a major cause of deaths in boating accidents. Often the cause of
death is listed as drowning; but, often the primary cause is hypothermia. It
should also be noted that alcohol lowers the body temperature around two to
three degrees by dialateing the blood vesels. Do not drink alcohol around cold
water. The following chart shows the effects of hypothermia in
degrees............................Under 15 min........Under 15 TO 45 min.
32.5 to 40................................15 to 30 min.........30 to 90
min. 40 to 50...................................30 to 60 min.........1 to 3

PFD's (personal flotation
devices / better known as life jackets) can increase survival time because of
the insulating value they provide. In water less than 50 degrees you should
wear a wet suit or dry suit to protect more of the body.
The body loses heat in five
ways: Respiration, Evaporation, Conduction, Radiation and Convection.
RESPIRATION: Heat
escapes when air is exhaled. This can be reduced by covering the mouth and nose
area with wool or a bandana.
Perspiration evaporates from the skin and moisture from the lungs contributes
to heat loss by the body. Control the amount of evaporation by wearing clothing
that can be ventilated or taken off. Wear clothing that will not absorb water,
but will breathe. So you can control the cooling effect of evaporation.
CONDUCTION: Sitting
on the ground, snow, touching cold equipment, or being rained upon are all
examples of how heat can be lost through conduction. If you become wet a large
amount of body heat is lost rapidly. Perspiration or rain should never be
allowed to saturate your clothing which can reduce their insulating values.
Wear clothing that will keep you warm even if it is wet, such as wool or some
of the new synthetic materials (polypropylene, polorguard, fiberfill,
quollofil) have good wet characteristics. Sit or sleep on a closed-cell
insulating pad.
RADIATION: Radiation
causes the largest heat loss from uncovered skin, particularly the head, neck,
and hands. It is important to cover these areas in keeping warm and preventing
further heat loss.
CONVECTION: The
primary function of clothing is to keep a layer of warm air next to the skin,
but allows water vapor (perspiration) to pass outward. The body continually
warms this layer of air close to the body. A wet suit uses this same theory,
but when a person falls into the water you are chilled for a few moments before
the water next to your skin is warmed by your body. A dry suit has less initial
shock because water does not get inside to start with so the clothing you wear
under the dry suit captures the air to retain your warmth. Heat is lost rapidly
with the slightest breeze unless you wear a nylon or gortex shell over your
clothing to prevent the warm air from being lost. The cooling effect of wind
chill is equal to that of much lower temperatures due to the increased
evaporation and convection. You must have wind protection and good insulating
value (dead air space) for your clothing to retain your body heat at a safe

Flywheel finishes
I have a pair of 45 flywheels with a little rust on them. What would be the correct way to restore? Bead blast and Parkerize? Is the finish on the old 45 flywheels from the factory a Parkerized finish?

Jennifer Lopez's Beckham bond
Jennifer Lopez says she and Victoria Beckham bonded over their insecurities.
Despite being two of the most photographed women in the world, Jennifer admits she and Victoria became close friends after sharing their doubts about how they look.
The ?Monster-in-Law' actress told America's Glamour magazine: "I was talking to Victoria about what makes women beautiful recently. She said, ?People would never guess you're insecure, Are you? Because you know I am.' It was like she had to hear it from me. And I said, ?Yeah. Of course I am.' Then she said, ?But you seem so confident.' But because I'm confident doesn't mean I don't have my moments.
"You have to remember the value of your individuality - that you have something different and special to offer that nobody else can."
J.Lo also confessed she doesn't mind the constant pregnancy rumours surrounding her and husband Marc Anthony.
The 37-year-old star has made no secret of her desire to have a baby and insists as soon as she conceives she will proudly announce it to the world.
J.Lo said: "The constant speculation is a little weird, but I try to look at it as that people want something exciting to happen for me so they can put it in the news. Maybe the baby speculation is about seeing two people together and wanting to know if it's real. A lot of the time, a baby solidifies that image, ?This must be real, they're having a child together.'
"Every week reports say I'm pregnant and I keep saying, ?Not yet.' "

Charter Boats:
Grounds Charts:
The "Sea
Sea Wife II is one of the only multi passenger vessel in Kona.
Daily shared trips target the smaller fish first and
then go for the larger fish.
The shared trips do not target marlin, however, they
quite often catch them by accident.
The goal is to
catch everyone a fish
as opposed to one person having all the fun.
The crew runs
eight fishing poles out so all anglers are fishing all of the
time. After you've
caught your fish, the decision is yours: keep your fish, or tag
& release. The captain may encourage tag &
release, but the choice is yours to make.
fishing gear, ice, coolers, etc. is provided so all you need
to bring is your own food and drinks. There is no
license required for salt water fishing in Hawaii.
Most of the boats in Kona are
certified to take a maximum of 6 passengers. The Sea
Wife is certified for 18 passengers. The boat offers
private trips for offshore trolling for marlin, tuna,
mahimahi, ono, etc. You can also choose to go for
smaller near shore fish. Great family trip
for all ages.

06 f350 buying
need help always have wanted a diesel have found a 06 f350 was made on 8/17/05 are there any problems with this year motor ? what are some things i need to check before buying ? Any help will be great going to look at tom.
EGR delete, Head studs, and straight pipe and I believe you should be good. I'm not very knowledgable in the 6.0 department. My strength are the 7.3's
Sent from a device that's smarter than me
there are a number of things to look for when buying a 6.0 do some searches on here and you will find everything u need .you will need something to monitor your oiltemp and coolant temp if there is more of a 15 deg. differance u may need to put an oil cooler in it look for puking of coolant around the degas bottal egr delete is a must the blue spring upgrade is a good one to keep the fuel pressure where it should be . u might want to insure your ficm has the proper voltage (48) . the 6.0 is a great motor you just need to no what to look for > alot of people also put head studs in favor of the tty bolts ford used . also some people belive the ford gold coolant is what might be cloging these oil coolers up so a change to ec1 rated elc may also be in order and a coolant filter would help .....good luck and injoy the new 6.0 l
Since you haven't bought it yet, the best thing to check would be to see if you can get all the service records. Once bought, EGR delete, after market oil cooler, ARP head studs, and late model (shorter) push rods while you are in there.
In my opinion, if you aren't mechanically inclined, have a place to work on it, know the complete history and if it hasn't had a bunch of the "known" issues resolved already. Run, don't walk. This can be a good engine but with neglect it's a nightmare. It's expensive as hell to fix in terms of parts. Just a quick look at all the forums on that engine should reveal just how many issues people have with it. If you do buy it, immediately check the charging system, many are not working properly which leads to low batteries and then a failed FICM.. I'd bet you'll find a reman alternator under the hood, the factory ones suck. There's a green machine high output one you can get which would likely solve that problem. You should immediately also budget a high end scanner to be able to diagnose problems. Get a good engine monitor that can monitor EGT, FICM voltage, ECT, EOT, and a fuel pressure sensor add on would also be a good idea because low pressure blows the injectors.. Count on lots of maintenance cost compared to a gasser, 14 litres of synthetic and the complement of filters add up. Say $150 for oil, $18 oil filter, $50 air filter, $90 for fuel filters ( rail and engine mounted ). That's what you'll need to calculate into the ownership of the truck. Also, check your rear brake baking plates, they're know to rust out and aren't cheap, Dorman brand makes the ONLY cheap alternative to fix those.$500 from the dealer or $80 from Dorman. The auto hubs can also be problematic, so you want to see if they have been serviced. When they fail, it's often a leak in the system which believe it or not will make you A/C doors act up ( they share the vacuum system ).. ahh the fun of mechanical things.
Good luck, don't rush into it. Try to find one where the last guy dumped all his money into it and finally gave up.
