Hi everybody,
I'm thinking I'd like to have a place so others could see my photos. I know lots of people have yahoo, ofoto, etc, and other people have their own website. And some people just post a picture when they want to share.
How do these photo hosting places work, what should I look for? Or is it easier/cheaper/better to have a personal website?
I think I would be better off with a hosting place where I just upload photos and add verbage, maybe have different "albums". So, what's the skinny on these places?
Hi Linda,
I use Pbase. It's a site that was begun for serious photographers to post their photos, so their main thrust is to give you the ability to show your work well. The photos you upload are available for viewing in several sizes, so if you want the detail to show, it's available to be seen. That's my main beef with Ofoto, Yahoo, etc. The photos are fairly small, and you can't see what 's really going on.
Pbase is not a free site, but their prices are extremely competitive. You get a month free trial, and if you sign up you get 300 megabytes!! for $23/year. You can arrange your photos in as many galleries (albums) as you like. You can add text, have any background you like, etc. It's very easy to use, and very versatile.
Here's a link to my galleries to give you an idea of what you can do. I am not particularly computer savvy, but this is easy, and if you are computer savvy, you can be much fancier than I am.
I have pictures on the web in a variety of places. Some places don't allow you to link to the pictures, so read the agreement. I think this is the case with the free sites - they make their money off prints and other photo items but they limit how you can use your photos on the internet.
Kodakgallery(formerly Ofoto):
Pro: free, good for large albums of pictures, share with nonmembers by emailing to friends and family (if they're members they can see all of your albums in one place), it's private
Con:not allowed to link to the pictures (it's in the agreement), picture size is controlled by them and is rather small, pictures are not viewable to internet public
Flickr (signed up but haven't used yet)
Pro: limited uploads per month are free, can link to pictures, variety of settings for making pictures viewable to internet, able to view different photo sizes
Con:you see everyone elses pictures which may not be suitable for all ages
Yahoo photos
Haven't used this in a while - I think it's now similar to Kodakgallery. I had trouble linking to pictures, probably because they don't allow it - I haven't gone back to read the agreement again.
Upload directly
If you have webspace from your internet service provide (such as Earthlink), you can ftp pictures
Pro:Full control over sizes and viewing, can link to your heart's content
Con:Some computer skill needed to upload and organize, open to public unless you write your own protection, limited space.
I have a blog where I write about sewing, knitting and other stuff and like to post pictures to it. For that I upload pictures to my Earthlink space and link to them there.
I use my Kodak account for the vacation pictures and family stuff that we want to let friends and family view. This seems to be an excellent way to share photos with select people.
As far as PR pictures of things I've made, I either upload to my PR photopage (which is nearly full) or to my Earthlink space. I can buy more space on the PR photopage but I don't need to yet.

Hi Linda.
First, as a FoPR you can upload pictures directly to this site. Check out the FAQ for more info.
Also, check with your ISP (internet service provider). You might get a webpage free, particularly if you have a broadband connection (DSL or cable modem). You could use that space to store your pictures, or create a full blown web site for yourself.
------With a great wardrobe that's still in the flat-fabric stage.
I use flickr (I actually paid for two years so I don't have any limits on uploading). I use it for when I have a lot of pictures to load (like from taking a trip or whatever) though I've not really put that much up. Another con to flickr is that it was purchased by someone (yahoo I think). I hope they don't ruin it's quirkiness. Looks like the employess are moving from Canada to California. It seems like so many of the other places like yahoo, etc are fraught with permission problems to the picture links.
I also detest msn. When people pay for msn their account I find it offensive that they have to have ads on their personal Web sites. I have cox but only use it for photos when I'm selling on eBay. It's way too kludgy for a personal site.
I put my sewing stuff on my own site. I admit my gallery is poorly organized. I keep thinking I'm going to put everything in a database and make it more dynamic with thumbnails and slideshows but I just don't feel like coding in my free time (since I work in IT it feels too much like work). As it is I barely keep up with the site anymore.
-- Edited on 7/1/05 3:45 PM --
Liana,LoriB,AnneM and Mudcat, thanks for all the info!! Liana, I just lost about *2 hours * looking at photos on Pbase.
What a stunning website!..
I need to think more about what I want as far as posting photos.
I think a personal website is more than I can handle and get set up.
I just want a place to post photos so that
people can easily access them, and I can link to them. I want to be able to make the size large enough see details.
I'm not worried about getting a free sight; I'd rather pay a reasonable fee and not have all those popups.
Thanks again,
Hmm, that PBase looks good. And, the URLs are short (a plus in my book).
After spending a half hour signing-up and uploading to test it out I have to say PBase is great (thanks, Liana!) The biggest plus is that it does a better job of handling the photo sizing than flickr (as much as it pains me to say this because I like flickr). on the other hand flickr has the slideshow mode which PBase doesn't. It's a trade-off.
-- Edited on 7/2/05 6:21 PM --
I know this is several years later, but for anyone reading this, PBase does have slideshows now!

As featured on 2 Oceans Vibe Radio; Bob's Weekend Getaways.
Listen to Bob and Dan chatting to Garonga's own Bernie Smith about what makes Garonga special.
45 degrees Centigrade on Xmas Day and 30th Dec! Was so humid one could almost shower in your own sweat – nice thought I know! I'm sure you had a great Xmas and New Years Eve party; we certainly did – thanks Billy for the 0300 hrs finish on New Years night/Morning reminiscing and banging the world to rights. It's fine; I know Billy of old (best Man at his wedding!). We had an all American cast on Xmas night; I think that is a first. Thank-You USA! Also a number of Family Groups coming over the festive time; from Mexico, Canada, Germany, Ireland. Really great fun!! So typical of the hospitality scene when the electrics stuff up in one Suite at Little Garonga on Xmas Eve; can you get an electrician? Can you heck! Some bridging was done to get some lights, but not Hot Water! The Lekkie (Electrician) does come out on the 27th December; so apologies to our 2 Guests who were upset by this situation, but unfortunately "Murphy" is always around, and as much as we try, there is only so much that can be done.
Fiscal Cliff – none of them are even trying up there on Capitol Hill! Egos so high as the Empire State Building. What a pleasant start to 2013. Thanks BO and those other ……………..Politicos. What on earth is happening out there in the US; School kids massacred by a complete Geek; then 2 firemen deliberately murdered by a Physcopath; then the whole debate of who is right or wrong; it does seem very odd that you can buy a weapon without little or no references, licenses or anything, yet to drive a car you have to have this, that and the other. Doesn't make sense to me. The Israelis have the best system, and it is well regulated, and makes a lot of sense. However no excuse for Piers Morgan (brit Anchorman on CNN) to lose his cool and be so one-sided; I always thought a news Anchorman or Presenter should remain Impartial; not this odious Guy! He insults his Guests if they don't listen to poor old Pier's point of view! I saw one debate where he completely lost it. Now the Gun Lobby want him deported – good idea, not that I agree with their views.
Cameron and his "Notting Hill Set" think it more important to think about "Gay Marriage" etc, when the Country is in the worst mess for years. I thought it was the Church that decided on those sorts of things, not meddling Politicians? The Police incident with the MP at Downing Street seems to continue with new evidence etc coming to light. There can't be a very pleasant feeling in Downing Street amongst the Police and these Notting Hill Kids, and I dare say there must have been a lot of ill-feeling going on well before this incident to kick off.
The sorry Saga of the Nurse committing suicide after an Aussie Radio Prank went so terribly wrong. Here in South Africa Zuma is re-elected at the ANC annual Conference ……just, but only after Ramaphosa is elected Vice-President; that's a good move, so maybe next year in 2014 no more Zuma, and a New refreshing start with Ramaphosa?
A milestone in English Cricket with India being defeated in India; first time for centons! Excellent cricket Captain – Alistair Cook! Harry Rednap puts the top football players fraternity truly in their place by saying something we all think anyway; it's the Team, NOT the Individual and much more.
Down here in the not so Sunny Garonga we have had more good rains. What has been lacking is the Sun. The bush is lush and green, and we have had the Ellie Bulls frequently at the Camp waterhole always appearing almost on Q at Lunchtimes, or when Guests are checking in. It's the Duracell batteries you see – Duracell lasts longer… apparently. Great sightings of Cheetah, and the Rhinos. The Lions are sometimes playing hard to get disappearing in to the Pidwa Block where the Guides cannot off-road. Beautiful Leopard sighting; one attached to this letter from Eion; thanks indeed Eion! Occasional walks still happening for those who want to exercise the Limbs. Sleep Outs have been a disappointment because of the Rains, but Guests are still plucky enough to try, even on Xmas day/night.
Many congratulations to Michael and Sandra, Andrew and Karen, and Holger and Rosalind for tying the knot here at Garonga!! It was a real pleasure hosting you on your very special day!
To the Chefs who work tirelessly in the Kitchen heat! I think it's bad enough sometimes outside but then adding the Kitchen Heat, that's quite something to be working in. A recipe will be attached as per normal. I was glued to Jamie Oliver's Xmas cooking programme for tips etc; he had many, and they seemed to benefit.
2013 is looking promising, although January is pretty quiet; those of you who fancy a quickie, come over. We close 01 – 24 March 13 this year, so NOT the whole month, and Easter is much sooner this year anyway. We will be operating the Steenberg/Garonga Package again from March – September; it's a great package; give it a crack, and then throughout the year a package with the fantastic Cybele Forest Lodge and Spa near Hazyview.
Last but by no means least, and how could I forget (It is definitely the Grey Cells), thanks Sue (Ethos Marketing UK) for stomping the streets through, wind, rain hail and ice, and a bit of sunshine thrown in selling Garonga to a very hard competitive Market. Your efforts and pains, and smiles reward us all so well!!
Right, lets get cracking for 2013.
Keep well and all the best
So BO is back in the WH and Mitt now takes a back seat. BO did handle the floods in NY pretty well and that must have certainly helped. As for that Plonker of a Mayor in NY cancelling the marathon at the last minute AFTER people had arrived is beyond understanding. It's a no brainer – you get the storm, and you cancel – most people (reasonable people anyway) would quite understand. I hope he has a hefty wallet. Good luck to all the very stoic people of New York; they know and do it so well; pick themselves up and become even better than before. Here's to you (actually a bit too early), later then!
Cameron and his bunch of ditherers are beyond help. It seems both Conservative and Labour just play to the whims of the People as to how they think; so forget principals, just play to the popular vote to get as many votes as you can. However the voters are not stupid, and if you don't show your principals and what you stand for, then you deserve a good kicking in the goolies, which is what they need now. Look at UKIP; sure I don't believe in everything they say but at least you know where you are with them. It's quite simple; if we don't get fair treatment from the EU and renegotiate our stance, then leave. Cameron move on. Liam Fox come back and lead the Party.
Hollande in France – a basket case; completely turned round from what he said he would do; what's new! Who believes a politician anyway. The Arabs fighting amongst themselves – that's a change! Uhmm. Always remember the film "Lawrence of Arabia", at the end of the film when they are all squabbling and fighting amongst themselves. It's a useless case; what can be done? As for Israel; they had no choice. Nobody would have put up with so much cak from Hamas which is ably supported by Iran. There's a lot to be said to having Dictators control their Country after all the shenanagans going on in Egypt, Libya etc. Is the world a safer place now? This is said with Tongue in cheek before I get arrested by the "Thought Police".
Here in SA, the Unions have quietened down a bit apart from one day when they blocked the Main Highway out of Joburg to the North protesting against the E toll system which looks like is going to be enforced next year and also spread to other Cities; so much for democracy when you just stamp over the people. Roll on the elections in 2014 – could be a nice surprise.
Rugby!! England v SA. Did not realise that captains are now going to be issued with calculators so they can add and subtract! Sure beating the All Blacks was an incredible achievement, but think if we had also beaten SA; that would have been a real winner beating the two top giants in Rugby.
Have I waffled enough! Most definitely. Back to reality. It's been a bumper couple of months; it appears that South Africa is bouncing back. A very warm welcome back to Daniel and Michaela, Corne' and Beate, Tim and Helen, Frank, Susanne, and Torquil and Marian (Good Luck with the wines – details are in the Curio Shop now). AND many congratulations to Ludwig and Anja, Luck and Cindy, Nigel and Jane, Warren and Jenna, Tim and Helen, and Karl and Terry for giving us the great priviledge of joining you together on the most special day of your Lives. Thanks also to George (MO), Louise (Photographer) and the staff for making their day so smooth.
The rains have come! 145mm to date and the Bush is looking splendid! Impala and Wildebeest calves all jumping over the place and looking so fragile and vulnerable. The Game Viewing has been truly excellent, and the Guys pulling out the stops. Not going out all that much myself, I was very lucky to spot a Leopard under a bush 20m from my house as I was driving back one afternoon. The 2 Big male Lions have been over a few times, and the Ellies doing what they do best. Guests till doing walks in the mornings – very popular. Sleep Outs – some successes, but with the rains etc there have been a few tactical withdrawals in the middle of the night. Still so worth doing.
The Chefs have been doing a brilliant job as ever producing some really delicious dishes; for some reason the "health options" are proving very popular; difficult for me to understand when you have the "Truckers Breakfast" available. As always a recipe will follow and give it a whirl.
On the Staff front Vanessa has very sadly left Garonga to live in Durban. A truly loyal, hard working, and great person who will be sadly missed. She had been with us for 8 years. Vanessa, good luck in what ever path you chose to travel. However we must move on and so Nicole (manageress) will now be taking over Reservations and Accounts, and Elizma joining us to take the position of Manageress. Good luck to both! Andy and his farm team working hard as ever fixing, growing the garden, and doing all the behind the scenes work which is not really noticeable up front. So much does go on behind the scenes to keep such an operation going. Evelyne has been kept very busy indeed with massages, and something noticeable, Facials proving very popular. Dinamosi (Tracker) had his work cut out when hosting one night, when one of the Guests decided to teach him the "Rumba dance" (no, Berlusconi was nowhere to be seen).
I have been in Mud Island again visiting The WTM Travel Show in that terrible place called Docklands. The show itself is great and very impressive in EXCEL, but when you go outside you could almost be in "The Clink". Anyway once again managing to defeat Customs and bring back Cheeses; Vicherin, Stinking Bishop (Reineth, head Chef, always runs a bloody mile when she sees me return with this), and the inevitable Blue Stilton. This has now run out.
Now it is that time of the year to wish all our Guests (previous and those coming) a very Merry Xmas and every success for 2013; apparently the Aztecs have other ideas however; we'll see. Also to the Tour Operators from far and Wide who have supported us so nicely, a big Thank-You! Also to our Marketing Reps who patiently grind the walk and keep patient with us – The Ethos marketing Team in UK, Alison, Amanda, Claire, Kevin, and Cara; Roland and Hella ETC Marketing in Germany; and Andy, Beth, and Jann in the Africa In Focus Team in South Africa. Also a big thanks to Wild Web, Paul and his team who keep us in check regarding the web, Facebook and Twitter (Still trying to figure this out especially all the stuff that went on in the UK. We look forward to the year ahead whatever it may bring.
As always spare a big thought for the Troops In Afghanistan; we wish them every success in their task. We can all help by giving to "Help4Heroes"; a cause that keeps going from strength to strength! They look after us, we need to look after those who keep us safe! Cameron, stick to your word and keep to the Military Covenant!
Signing off another year in the African veldt! Keep safe and Go well!
TEAM GB! What more can be said. What a sterling, courageous, professional outcome for the whole team both Olympics and Paralympics (footballers take note; as if you care!). France cried because the bicycles were too technologically advanced for them, and we all know where that technology came from, don't we – LA FRANCE! HA! Boney eat your heart out. Maybe the French should take up cricket. Anyway judging by the guests coming over from UK, it was just such a euphoric atmosphere; like the empire had been rebuilt – Rule Britannia and all that. Well, only another 100 years or so to repeat that performance; what a crescendo of a finishing concert; even the tube and bus drivers were polite! The military; I'd wager a bet that the WO & Sgt's Mess watched the volleyball, The officers the horse events, and the JNCO's and Rfm the remainder. Boris was a superstar and outshone that ridiculous PM, DC, who has lost the trust of most if not all.
Now we have a stinking toad of a politician who calls the police protection team at Downing Street (People who protect him) "Plebs" and "I'll have your job". The sheer arrogance stinks; he needs to go; send him to Afghanistan and do a decent day's work there.
So In UK don't wear a cross to work or you may offend…………………..WHO exactly! The PC police? stuff them; go ahead and be proud to wear it in a Christian country. Others wear their turbans, or their long ghostly dresses, so why not good honest decent Christians!
So, on the cricket front KP has done the unthinkable and betrayed his "mates" to the opposition; in fact this isn't unusual for him, as he doesn't have many friends in the English cricket dressing rooms; country or county. A one man band who plays excellent cricket doesn't wash anymore. It's called "teamwork" KP. We still lost the cricket anyway against South Africa.
Now down here in deepest Africa there was a huge problem in the mines; the platinum one to be precise. Weeks before there had been violence and intimidation even before "The Shooting". No politicians, or senior police came out; it was left to the men on the ground. Basically a turf war was surfacing between two unions; one being pragmatic, the other offering such ridiculous hopes for their members that of course the members crossed sides. Anyway both Unions had no control whatsoever of the Miners. Two policemen and two security guards were hacked to death and their weapons stolen. Then to cut a long story short a mass of "people" armed with Spears, Knokopjies, machetes, and of course the weapons stolen from the police advanced on the police lines. Police had tried to restrain with Rubber Bullets and Tear gas to no avail, so when your lives are at risk from a Mad Mob you have only one answer left; which is what happened. Sure some were shot in the back turning away after the mass attack (not to be condoned), but what would you have done? The thing is that this should never have got to this stage; where were the politicians (cowering in their SUV's and sumptuous homes in Houghton)? Where was the police top brass to support their members; same as above! Now the company has given in and handed them their demands and now, guess what – all the miners think that if you intimidate, kill etc they will give in to your demands. Anarchy in the workforce is where we are now in the mines, and now possibly the transport strike, where vehicles have been torched and one killed. The government needs to seriously get a grip or anarchy will reign. There are no longer negotiations; it is strike, and so on! Enough; I think you get the gist! So Africa is not for pussies (was told that many moons ago – it is not Sloane Street in London).
Talking about pussies – Julian Assange has gone and run behind his mother's skirt in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London pleading Immunity! Ecuador – Not exactly a bastion of free speech now! I suppose he can always get his food delivered by Harrods next door. Julian, old boy, be a man, and go and face the music in Sweden; don't run behind those people's skirts in the Embassy. After all I'd imagine a Swedish jail is a bit like a 3 star Hotel!
The heat is on now for the two sluggers in the USA – 4 weeks to go for the result. We all wait with baited breath – uhmmmm!
That was a bit of a long one – been a long hot day today; 40+ degrees. Now many many congratulations to David and Aline, Frank and Tanja, Brian and Denise, Andreas and Bettina, Gerard and Ann-Marie, Andy and Ulrike – for all tying the knot here at Garonga! We all wish you the very best for the future. Andreas and Bettina, you have set some very high standards as to what is expected post dinner celebrations! A very warm welcome back to Martin and Jane, Helen and Stuart, Barbara, Fabian and Laura.
Most of the game Viewing has been exceptional; sure there were a few quiet days, but the safari chaps have really done some sterling work with leopard sightings, the cheetah, ellies , the lions (Although not as prolific as before – story later), and loads of general game. Walks have proven popular as it has been chilly still in the mornings. We have now moved in to summer routine; by now wake up is at 0515 hrs departing at 0545 hrs getting back for those infamous truckers breakfasts! The lions; unfortunately the Garonga pride (five of them) went through the fence to a neighbours cattle farm; I'm sure you can guess what happened. Anyway the farm manager there took a dislike to them all (despite being informed that assistance was on the way to take them off) and shot all five of them! Unfortunately the mentality beggars belief! This is indeed tragic, but also I suppose what can happen in fenced off reserves. My aim is to restore a Garonga pride again.
The veld has been looking great recently greened up by the first rains – about 40mm. Yes, folks it does rain in Africa in September, so if you just arrive with a swimming cozzie; well, the rest is history. The chilly mornings are still happening, but the days becoming much hotter as you'd imagine.
So, it's no longer death by chocolate… cake for tea; we have switched back to doing lunches, and of course picnics up in the tree. The chefs are now back in the thick of it with lunches, picnics, sleep outs, weddings – all go for them, and how well they have preformed! AS normal a recipe will follow this letter.
Sleep outs have proven very popular but I must admit we have had a case of 3 coming back in the same week. I think it was definitely a case of "It was THAT Big". However we seem back to normality now and everybody thoroughly enjoying the experience.
On the staff front a very warm welcome to Eveleyne who has taken over the massages; welcome back to Zandile from maternity leave.
Both August and September have been very busy indeed, as will October and November. December – Xmas; can you bloody well believe it! I can't. Surely Not! Off to UK in November for the WTM trade show in Docklands (EXCEL) London – what a pit of a place! Hope to see some of you there. Anyway a good chance to buy "Stinking Bishop" (Reineth the head chef loves it – NOT!), Vacherin, and the good old Stilton. Haven't been caught yet returning with it.
Just to remind you, we have an excellent package with Cybele Forest Lodge and Spa, and also the Steenberg Hotel in Cape Town (remember this for next year March – September 2013).
Enjoy the Autumn where you are as we will enjoy the Spring/Summer, swimming-pools, cold beer , braiis/bbq, and Rugby!
Look after yourselves and keep well.
The Jubilee – this was precision at its best. What a grand lady she is, and looks like she can do another 10! A fantastic start to so much happening in the UK. The boats, the troops, the weather – how more British can it get!
Bradley Wiggins!! What a star to win the Tour De France AND the Olympic gold! Not a celebrity, as he points out that there are far too many "celebrities" who have done nothing to get their so called status; good man!
What a cracker of an opening ceremony to The Games despite the usual last minute hitches one gets before such a huge event. Well done Boris and Danny Boyle! What was incredible was that even the Met. Office ordered in the right weather for the night; they don't normally get it right (drought this year with the worst rains to date!), but there you go.
It's all sports then. Congrats to Jonathan Marray (yes that is correctly spelt); first Brit to win the doubles finals in Wimbledon for a centon, with his Danish partner Frederik Nielsen. The other similar sounding name who doesn't like Brits, well……………….maybe another year. Jeremy Clarkson's obituary on the final was so to the point!
Cricket; thrashed the Aussies and then in the true Aussie style really beckons South Africa to do the same to England, which they have done so far! Good sportsmen those Aussies!
Another bit of sports going on; it takes a thief to catch a thief; and so the politicians set up their own parliamentary enquiries to investigate the disgusting behaviour of certain banks fixing this and that. The polticos will be perfect for this as they know only too well how to be crooked! Of course it's not your banker that you and I know, but those despicable hyenas behind the scenes. It's very simple. Catch them, sentence them to 20 years in Jail, remove their trading licenses, and Bob's your uncle.
Of course the polticos have also done the media as well for wire tapping, but very interesting to see a useless labour MP call Rupert Murdoch "unfit for purpose" – the hypocrisy of it all. Far rather have Rupert Murdoch than that MP any day.
Cameron – you're losing it; get rid of that 2 i/c of yours; he's got the smallest minority in history but controls what you want to do! Fix it, and let the majority rule (I believe it's called democracy). As for your trip to Afghanistan to thanks the troops there, and then hand them out their retrenchment packages and put them on the dole; despicable and traitorous! Thanks God for the troops for saving the Olympics! However Harriet Harman telling the troops that they deserve a bonus like the bus and tube drivers (who basically held the country over a barrel and demanded 500.00 pounds each) is embarrassing from a supposed politician. The whole point is that the forces are NOT like the civil services; they are totally professionally, will have a quick snide and giggle at the expense of the "civvies" who couldn't organise a P… up in Monastery and get on with the job! If only…..! Hopefully there will be no riots like last year as there are no police (olympics), no troops left; maybe get the Giles cartoon character of Grandma out and let her wield her brolly instead!
Euro getting worse, and Syria is just a tragic basket case!
Yes, I know, been away too long. Anyway I trust you are still awake.
Away from the loony bin, here down at sleepy hollow of Garonga it's been great to welcome our first guests from India after such a long while! Many many congratulations to Jonathan and Nicola for tying the knot; a great day indeed. Thanks to a number of industry operators who came out to check us out! I hope we passed! A very warm welcome back to Sue, then Wolfgang, Ute and Soeren (8th time).
Spring is coming as I saw Jaffeth (head guide) wearing shorts the other day! Warmer to hot days but still cold mornings early on. The game viewing has been great with more leopard sightings now ; the ellies have been across a number of times to Garonga, which has not always been the case before during winter. Cheetah and rhinos have been much in evidence and the plains game in abundance. Walks are great at this time of the year; if you are coming, try them. The sleep outs as popular as ever; it is NOT cold up there, and the stars are spectacular.
Only one month left having those scrumptious high teas; the chocolate cheese cake; my God, I could munch that every day! The ladies in the kitchen have been producing some excellent nosh, even the fish and chips nights are popular; not to mention those traditional Sunday curry dinners, carvery roasts and the list goes on (that's the sales pitch coming in having just done a sales trip). A recipe will follow; please do try this at home. Forget health and safety!
Microliting is also a great thing to do especially at this time of the year. A 20 minutes flip over the 60,000 acre reserve flying about 300m above the ground. Great fun and spectacular scenery. We give you a short intro, and then give you the keys.
On the marketing front, we are now doing a fantastic package with the Steenberg Hotel in Cape Town; it's a beautiful hotel in Constantia on its own wine farm. Check the package out on our website (www.garonga.com) fantastic add-ons, and a package of 9 nights where you only pay for 7 nights. This package finishes soon as it is only during the winter months, but will be repeated next year as well.
I was released in late June for a sales trip to UK which went extremely well. I was chaperoned around England by the ladies of Ethos Marketing (thanks Sue, Alison, Amanda and Claire for putting up with the grumpy old fart). Great to see so many supporters again who have really looked after us over the years; thanks so much to all for giving us your very precious time. I would also like to thank Julie from Country Club UK for allowing me to present to some key members (40+ turnout) at the club; A wine presentation given by SA Wines (Splendid start!), a presentation on the Steenberg and then my presentation and stories (It was THAT big!) to all. I even bumped into my Ex – CO there (I did not want to remind him about our (the platoon I was in) antics on the French commando course!), and his daughter Annabel who did a 3 month between jobs here some years ago; what a small world! Anyway beautiful countryside to drive around in with a SATNAV lady who, by the end of the trip, needed to be battered with a baseball bat; I don't need reminding 4 times about when to take the turn off at a roundabout, and you know the UK is the king of roundabouts!
Now back in the grindstone. Both camps very busy indeed; still some small gaps in August, but September in Safari Camp – that's a cracker! There is availability at Little Garonga for a number of days however, and before you know it, it is back to lunches, picnics, swimming et al!
Now back to more golds! Enjoy The Games. Keep Safe!
All the best

Dry Tortugas, a group of small coral islands, or keys, in the Gulf of Mexico. They are part of the state of Florida. There are about 10 keys in the Tortugas, which are 65 miles (105 km) west of Key West. Loggerhead Key (about one mile [1,600 m] long) is the largest and has a lighthouse. The Carnegie Marine Laboratory is also on Loggerhead. Fort Jefferson, part of Dry Tortugas National Park (established 1992), is on Garden Key. Fort Jefferson was established in 1846 for defense of the Florida Straits and served as a federal prison during and after the Civil War. The Tortugas were made a federal bird reservation in 1908. Ponce de Leon discovered the islands in 1513. He named them Tortugas (Spanish for "tortoises") after the numerous turtles in the region.

Michelle Obama and Louis Farrakhan Take On Whitey
I learned over the weekend why the Republicans who have seen the tape of Michelle Obama ranting about "whitey" describe it as "STUNNING." I have not seen it but I have heard from five separate sources who have spoken directly with people who have seen the tape. It features Michelle Obama and Louis Farrakhan. They are sitting on a panel at Jeremiah Wright's Church when Michelle makes her intemperate remarks. Whoops!! When that image comes out it will enter the politcal ads hall of fame. It will be right up there with the little girl plucking daisy petals in the famous 1964 ad LBJ used against Barry Goldwater.

Ertugrul Saykal: BERETTA SHOTGUN = PERFECT SHOTGUN.. AND VERY EXPENSİVE :D
mario schembri: i have the beretta a400 xplor at about one mount new and i am very proud for my shot gun it very fast and very light and its one of the best brand like the benelli.
tirfune: nice video , beautiful gun my friend
shootgun76: Nice shooting, i just ordered one and i was hoping to see a review rather than some clay bashing though...
Kane Jones: Very cool shotgun, that computer is helpful to keep track of how much you've shot. A lot better shotgun than my webley&scott 810.
srspower: Yes it's particularly pretty for a semi auto, thanks for watching :)
ScoobTEQ: Damn fine looking gun!
srspower: haha! Well I have many other videos, have a look around my second latest we shot 34 woodpigeons! And if your homework is giving you trouble I don't mind giving you a hint or two if I can!
calman98: Should be doing biology homework on vaccinations, instead I'm here.
srspower: Don't watch then, I don't see you doing any better.
0/Socialismo: You Brits are so F...k boring !
Dreadzedan: -_-
srspower: Yes if you do without the kick-off you might as well buy an a300 for a lot less money. But no I didn't ay there are only positive points. AS you get good at clays you will want an over and under and people will take piss out of your semi auto. Also if you want to shoot at a 'syndicate' for pheasants etc semi autos are banned.
1ducyboy: So really, as you see it, there are only positive points to buying this semi-auto? As you can tell I have limited experience in shooting and don't want to make a £1400 mistake, I will be buying a A400 Xcel and I just want the right gun, which is great to use with limited recoil. It was just the question whether the extra £80 for the kick-off was money well spent. You seem to say it is, would that be right?
srspower: No I wasn't referring to the kick off, you don't notice that at all. I was referring to the mechanical action of the breech sliding back and it chambering another round as with any semi auto. If you are used to that solid feeling of the gun being part of you the way it is with a double barrel it takes some getting used to. And no it doesn't slide back the way you think. Any shotgun is going to give you movement against your cheek but with the kick off it is just a LOT less.
1ducyboy: thanks for coming back to me. When you say " Personally I have found they take a lot of getting used to with the mechanical movement when you shoot" - I presume your talking about the kick-off version. Tell me though, when the gun is fired and the stock recoils backwards does the stock slide against your cheek and does that bother you?
srspower: I think a lot of clay shooters prefer over and unders because it gives them more control over the swing of the gun when it fires. Personally I have found they take a lot of getting used to with the mechanical movement when you shoot. Also some clubs can be funny about semi autos because you can't show them to be safe in the same way as you can with a double barrel. If you're going to the expense of buying a A400 then you should definitely get the kick off, otherwise why not a A300 outlander?
1ducyboy: New to clay shooting, I'm ready to make my first purchase - I like the beretta semi-autos and the a400 xcel especially. I see little point in having the full recoil - does it serve any purpose? You guys seem to know your guns and presumably have shot guns without a recoil reduction system. I will be buying the a400 but honestly, I'm really in a quandary over which version to buy, the kick-off or the non kick-off version?. Help! Would you buy the kick-off version if you were me?
srspower: Are you serious?

New additions to the tika merino line of clothing made from lightweight New Zealand merino include an a-line skirt, sleeveless tunic and cardigan for women. For men, tika is introducing a short sleeve polo shirt and a long sleeve mock turtleneck.
"The expanded tika merino line allows customers to mix, match and layer for everyday style that is both eco chic and comfortable,"
Merino has been a popular fabric with New Zealand fashion designers for many years. Super fine and soft against the skin, merino keeps its color and shape over time.
"We often hear comparisons of merino to cashmere," said Barbara Anderson. "In contrast to cashmere, merino is machine washable, highly breathable, and comfortable in both warm and cold climates."
The introduction of the ECOLLECTION at MAGIC signals the growing popularity of apparel in the eco friendly fashion category. A natural fiber, New Zealand merino is sustainable, biodegradable, annually renewable, and a good fit for retailers looking for eco chic apparel.
tika limited's support of local resources and protection of the environment goes beyond sourcing and manufacturing in New Zealand. tika operates on a carbon zero basis, offsetting carbon emissions with carbon credits that support regeneration of native forests in New Zealand.
About tika limited
Alexandra, New Zealand-based tika limited is a designer and wholesaler of merino apparel grown and manufactured exclusively in New Zealand. With classic styling and colors, tika merino is an eco-friendly, everyday luxury. tika's line is made from super soft, lightweight, natural and sustainable 100% pure New Zealand merino.

Despite replay, ejections aren't down (or aren't down by much) this year.
I remember last summer, the day after Bob Melvin had been ejected in what would turn out to be an extra-innings loss to the Astros, Melvin talking to the media in the dugout. He was abashed to have been ejected from such a game. I wasn't trying to get run, he stressed. As opposed to all the other ejections we see.

Is swinging on 3-0 counts a stathead philosophy or an old-school staple?
On Sunday, in the first inning, Derek Norris homered on a 3-0 pitch from Gio Gonzalez. Then in the second inning, the same guy did the same thing on the same count against the same guy. "They've given me the green light a few times this year," Norris said afterward, which is interesting. The A's haven't generally given their hitters many green lights on 3-0. Assistant GM David Forst once said that "we typically don't allow guys to swing 3-0. When one of our guys does it, it's a big deal. It happens only three or four times a year."

Reviewing the most egregious starts of the last decade and a half, with an assist from Old Hoss Radbourn.
On Tuesday, 23-year-old Zack Wheeler threw a career-high 118 pitches. That's not all that many pitches, except that they were crowded into just 4 ⅓ innings; all but 33 of those 118 pitches were thrown with men on base, and all of the innings were extended:

Headfirst slides are under fire (perhaps for good reason), but they aren't without their virtues.
Someday, when you're telling your grandkids about baseball in your day, you might have to explain what headfirst sliding was. Whether a player will continue to slide head-first now qualifies as a low-grade controversy (at least if the player is good enough). The Astros reportedly outlawed it for their minor leaguers for a time, pulling players from the game if they led with their fingers instead of their toes. The Braves teach their prospects not to slide headfirst, and the Indians lecture theirs. "I don't like headfirst slides," said Houston manager Bo Porter last week, perhaps unintentionally putting a spotlight on headfirsting prospect George Springer. "I really don't like headfirst slides."

You're running a terrible team, and you get to do (almost) anything you want with it in order to learn more for the future. What do you do?
When Ken Rosenthal wrote about his interview of Astros GM Jeff Luhnow last week, he included this line: "Some think the "team of the future" is making frequent use of shifts merely to gather information for the future. Not so, Luhnow said."

Neither the first nor the last reevaluation.
The gods had condemned Collettius to ceaselessly having his most famous trade reanalyzed on the internet, whence the analysis would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless reanalysis.

Involving an unexpected source.
Good days at the plate are pretty easy to identify. If you're looking for the best game any hitter had in April, you can look at total bases (as in Ryan Braun's three-homer game) or at hits (as in Charlie Blackmon's 6-for-6 game) or at win probability added (as when Kyle Seager hit two homers, including a walk-off, for a one-game .906 WPA); or, simply RE24, which would lead you back to Blackmon, who produced more than five runs all by himself. Similarly, for pitchers, pretty easy: Andrew Cashner's 9/1/0/0/2/11 was the month's best game score, though you might opt for Jose Fernandez's 8/3/0/0/0/14 for dominance or Julio Teheran's 1-0 shutout for value.

But might they, someday?
Gary Cohen: The Mets have a group of pitchers now who can help themselves (at the plate) a little bit more.
Ron Darling: I always say, on every ballclub there's different fraternities—the everyday players, the bullpen guys, and the starting pitchers. If you have a close-knit bunch of starting pitchers that are talented as far as their pitching is concerned, they start to get uber competitive with the hitting, too, and you have a lot of fun with it. Who gets the most bunts down? Who's got the most RBIs? Those are the things that make it the most fun.

Has the Rangers starter uncovered the secret of erasing his mistakes?
Back in the 2013 Annual, we wrote that Martin Perez's "strikeout rate dropped off significantly last season, along with his ceiling. Once thought to be a potential front-end rotation arm, he's now considered more of a third starter." But he heads into his start tomorrow with the best ERA in the American League, while his strikeout rate hovers around the 15th percentile. There's a contradiction there—those two statements aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, but they are certainly opposed to each other. Perez has the career-low BABIP of an early-season fluke, and he has the pristine HR/FB rate of an early-season fluke. But what about the most magical part of his game thus far? Is it possible that Perez's exceptional ability to induce double plays is a skill that he can carry forward?
To appreciate just how significant the 6-4-3 has been to Perez's 1.42 ERA this year, consider: 31 times so far he has had a runner on first base (at least) and fewer than two outs. Those 31 at-bats have produced 12 double plays and three fielder's choices, along with three caught stealings, six strikeouts, and just three singles. In those 31 chances he has turned about nine more double plays than an average pitcher should have, according to our NetDP stat, putting him more than four net double plays ahead of the next-best doubleplayer. A double play with a runner on first and nobody out is worth about three-quarters of a run, according to our 2014 run-expectancy matrix. In Perez's 31 matchups with a runner on first (at least) and fewer than two outs, he has around 13 runs off his expected runs allowed. He has allowed six runs all year. The double plays alone have been roughly as valuable as Mike Trout's sixth-in-the-AL home run total.

The new crop of platoon players.
In 2013, Mike Carp was limited to a strict platoon—88 percent of his plate appearances came against right-handers, up from 77 percent the year before—and, just months after Boston acquired him from offense-starved Seattle for mere cash considerations, he produced a better OPS than Adrian Beltre. I'm going to assume this happens to everybody who moves into a strict platoon. They just immediately become way better than we ever thought they would. Way, way better. Every single player.

I got home from work and thought "wow, there were some cool looking clouds today". Took me half an hour to load up some holders, swap some lensboards, and get back in the car.
Took Anzac Highway to glenelg, about halfway down it starts spitting, then raining, then monsooning all within 30 seconds. Recorded a 72km/h gust at the airport at 6pm, must have been bang on when I was driving. Rain enough that the wipers were on full, headlights on, and still going 50 because I couldn't see far enough ahead. (but only 1.6mm recorded).
Got to the beach, had to wait about half an hour for the rain to stop, set the camera up and waited. 20 mins later, back to the car cos it was raining again. Finally got some decent shots of the clouds over the sea, about to dev them now.
Had 2x HP5, 2x APX100, and 2x Harman Direct Positive Paper, with a 65mm and 90mm Super Angulon, with and without Orange filter. More just to try out the HDPP than anything, I'm about to dev now and see how well they go...

My first ever published photograph!
I have wanted to try my hand at football photography for quiet some time. Last night Frank Reid (http://www.ephotozine.com/user.cfm?user=35961) was fourth official for Hartlepool United reserves vs Doncaster Rovers reserves so I went along to see what I could get. I had a great time and enjoyed it a lot getting some pictures I was really happy with considering it was my first time. Now today this picture has appeared in our local evening paper the Hartlepool Mail along with a lovely little line saying I took it!
Even if some of you don't like football or action photographs aren't you thing, I just had to share this one with you all because I am so happy!

I also teach courses on Japanese society to visiting North American students at Nagasaki Foreign Languages University, a somewhat different game. As an even longer term resident or sojourner in some Southeast Asian countries, I mostly write and comment about these countries for Japan Focus as well as in other publications. Needless to say, I spend a lot of time in the field. Recent trips have taken me back to Laos and Vietnam, with a cycle of earlier trips to Indonesia and East Timor. Perhaps reflecting my research interests (and my audiences), some of my books have recently entered Indonesian, Portuguese and Chinese translations (virtually nothing in Japanese if you follow my logic). One of my recent books takes a broader optic, namely, First Globalization: The Eurasian Exchange (1500-1800) [Roman & Littlefield, 2003]

Pete Johnson was climbing the stairs to Washington County's second-floor courtrooms in Stillwater when he heard a fight break out below him. Seconds later a man came running at full speed, yelling that he wouldn't let anyone take him to a mental hospital.
"I was mostly just stopping to see if anything happened," said Johnson, a 29-year-old assistant county attorney. "He kind of tore away from the deputies and started sprinting across the waiting area. He came running right by me. I jumped out and put a knee into his legs. I like to call it a takedown."
Incidents like this one, in January, happen without warning in the courthouse, no doubt the most combustible crossroads of humanity found anywhere in Washington County. The courthouse is a melting pot of the accused, the convicted and the violated; it's a stew of judges, juries, attorneys, victims and their families. It's a place where people in conflict mingle in close quarters. Tension runs high, and anyone can explode without warning — especially when being taken into custody.
"That's when people freak out, when somebody tells you, 'You're not going home today.' That's pretty serious," said Johnson, one of the newer prosecutors in County Attorney Pete Orput's office.
Law enforcement in the courthouse falls to the Sheriff's Office, which maintains a contingent of deputies and bailiffs who watch for trouble ranging from weapons smuggling and swearing at judges to anxiety disorders and heart attacks.
Courthouses these days aren't necessarily more violent, but the potential for violence is greater than ever, said Sgt. Tim Harris, who's in charge of security training for the court unit. In recent years, he said, more and more people enter the courthouse showing disrespect for the institution, requiring deputies to enforce rules of decorum.
"Now we have people showing up in flip flops, like they're going to the beach," said Cpl. Chanin Klontz.
Trouble anytime
The man fleeing deputies when Johnson intervened was Eric Paul Woodford, of North St. Paul, who subsequently was charged with three felony counts of assault, including two on peace officers and correctional employees. According to the complaint, he punched a Ramsey County deputy trying to handcuff him and threw a chair at Klontz, who broke his shoulder when he jumped out of the way. Woodford then sprinted down a long concourse toward exit doors.
After the young attorney tripped him, Woodford sailed at least 15 feet across the tile and landed in a heap. As officers converged from both directions, Johnson is seen in a security video putting his hands in his pockets and walking away.
"Right when I did it, I wasn't sure if I should," said Johnson, who weighs 165 pounds, plays hockey in a men's league and softball in the summer. "I'm not a deputy, I'm not an officer. It happened so quick that I didn't remember exactly what I did."
That melee, which occurred outside a courtroom, was the most recent big disruption resulting in injuries. Deputies also work out of public view, in restricted areas where they funnel inmates from the nearby county jail and two big state prisons through stark white corridors to holding cells as they await court appearances.
Harris was hurt last year when a shackled jail inmate attacked him.
"The judicial process is adversarial in itself," Harris said, describing "highly charged emotional events" where people sometimes are confronted with life-altering decisions. Deputies are trained to watch for nervous behavior such as persistent pacing, a flushed face, a tapping foot. They know which defendants have shown "assaultive behavior" in the past, plan ahead for sentencings and hearings where trouble could occur, and meet with judges to discuss levels of security.
Deputies and bailiffs assigned to the courthouse receive special training to deal with problem behaviors in confined settings. If they need reinforcements they're only a radio call away from the next-door Law Enforcement Center.
"There's a lot of unpredictability. We don't know what will occur," said Sheriff Bill Hutton. "If something happens and it's ugly they'll react first and then we'll send the cavalry over."
More than 400 people a day enter the courthouse through the security checkpoint — "a single point of entry" into courts, Hutton said — where deputies get a first look at anyone who might cause trouble.
An "amnesty box" at the door allows visitors to surrender items such as brass knuckles, ammunition, martial arts throwing stars, corkscrews, knives, lighters, utensils — even handcuff keys. Padlocks are banned because they could be used to lock courtroom doors or swung in clothing as weapons. Drug paraphernalia can lead to arrests.
Commander Jerry Cusick and his court staff evaluate security daily, doing everything from sweeping courtrooms for weapons to reviewing court appearances and assigning deputies accordingly. They've seen it all, including intoxicated defendants and people under the influence of drugs, Cusick said.
The Sheriff's Office often must be mindful of impressions of a show of force in court, which means striking a balance between security and individual rights.
"The last thing we want is a mistrial because we had too many officers and intimidated the jury," Harris said.
But court business isn't all worrisome — happy occasions include weddings and adoptions, when people leave smiling.
Meanwhile, Johnson took some ribbing from fellow attorneys for his heroics in the courthouse.
"I only had to take about two steps so I didn't get too winded," he said.
In instances like that, Hutton said, it's interesting "to see who rises" to the challenge.

Which '80s music legend are you meant to be... or be with? From Madonna to Elvis Costello, check out which of six '80s icons you match best with by taking our short quiz!
Tags: Madonna, Elvis Costello, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Janet Jackson, Prince
Veteran rock band Van Halen will be hitting the road on Sunday, July 5, for the start of their North American tour. The band, which boasts a collective 40 years as a touring act, will feature David Lee Roth as their front-man and 16-year-old Wolfgang Van Halen (son of guitarist Eddie, and nephew of drummer Alex) as their bassist. They will be bringing Kenny Wayne Shepherd as their supporting act, as well.
The 40-date tour kicks off in Seattle, Washington, will criss-cross the continent, and will conclude on October 4 in Hollywood, California. This tour marks the third time this incarnation of the band has taken to the road as a unit, and previous tours have been notably successful. In 2012, the Different Kind of Truth tour grossed $54.4 million, according to the Billboard Boxscore, and ranked No. 8 among all tours. Van Halen is used to touring indoor arenas, and so the amphitheater tour will be a bit of a change for them. Nevertheless, the tour should reel in their core fan base despite the fact that they will not be touring in support of any new material. Although it was a huge success, the band's 2012 tour ended on a negative note after they were forced to cancel the 30-date final leg, and so their upcoming tour should be a positive effort in regathering fans.
On the secondary ticket market, ticket prices are competitive. Across the board, the average<>ticket price to see Van Halen is $208.61. The cheapest show available is their August 23 date at Hershey Park Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania. For that show, tickets are going for an average of $128.99, with a get-in price of $35. The most expensive date on the tour is their August 9 show at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey, where the average secondary price is $321.64, with a get-in price of $40. Not far behind Holmdel's pricing are Van Halen's scheduled dates in Hollywood, California and Houston, Texas.
According to Billboard, LiveNation is projecting that the tour could gross more than $30 million and finish as one of the top-grossing outdoor tours of the summer. It wouldn't be much of a surprise for the classic rockers to break new ground, given their past history on the road and their known ability to sell tickets.

Get out your hairspray and neon spandex: back in their nearly original arrangement, Van Halen have announced their 2015 Tour! With Eddie, Alex, and David Lee Roth all taking the stage, this summer's tour is sure to be a fantastic stroll down memory lane. Replacing Michael Anthony on bass is Eddie's son, Wolfgang*, who can definitely more than hold his own against his father's always-on-point axemanship. Take a walk with us down memory lane with the classic video for Panama:
The 2015 tour in support of their new album, Tokyo Dome in Concert, is crisscrossing the US this summer and fall, and will be supported by self-taught guitar prodigy Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Find dates near you!

Heavy metal band Van Halen has just announced they will embark on a massive North American tour in 2015. The tour, which will take them to every corner of the country, will make stops in almost 40 cities, giving Van Halen fans far and wide a chance to see the band. It will kick off on July 5th in Seattle, WA and will finally wrap up on October 2nd in Los Angeles, CA. As with the band's last two tours, original Van Halen front man, David Lee Roth will be taking on the role of lead vocalist.
Last time Van Halen went on tour was in 2012 on the "Viva La Van Halen Tour," which was in support of the band's twelfth studio album, A Different Kind of Truth. The first leg of the "Viva La Van Halen Tour" went on as planned, but the second North American leg of the tour was postponed and eventually cancelled. While it was rumored that the remainder of the tour was cancelled due to fighting between band members, David Lee Roth released a video denying those rumors, stating, "as usual, we bit off way more than we could chew when it came to scheduling." The "Viva La Van Halen Tour" had over 90 shows scheduled across three continents, which is a heavy workload for any band, let alone a band whose members were close to 60 years old.
With less than half of the number of shows scheduled this time around, Van Halen fans have little to worry about in terms of dates getting cancelled. Their upcoming tour will follow the release of the album, Tokyo Dome Live in Concert, which will come out on March 31. They are also releasing remastered versions of Van Halen and 1984 on the same day. Later this spring, the band will be releasing new versions of Van Halen II, Women and Children First, Fair Warning and Diver Down. Van Halen, who currently consists of David Lee Roth, Eddie and Alex Van Halen, and Eddie's son, Wolfgang, will be joined by the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, who will perform as their opening act.

A Crisis Averted: Six Strategies to Support America's Caregivers
Easom, Leisa, Granberry, Laura Bauer, Aging Today
Care managers often see caregivers who are in distress and at the end of their patience. "It's been so long since anyone cared about me," can be a common refrain. Many caregivers feel this way. Their caregiving journey may be one they did not expect to take-and they can be ill-equipped to handle it.
More than 65 million family caregivers in the United States provide the majority of care for dependent elders, as well as for adults and children with disabilities and chronic illnesses. And although now approximately 6 million adults older than 65 need daily assistance to live outside a nursing home, that already astronomical number will grow to more than 12 million by 2030.
Caregiving today requires more knowledge and skill as patients are released "quicker and sicker" from hospitals (and current caregiving stints last longer, often for five or more years). Family caregivers now are tackling tasks that in the past were left to nurses-monitoring chronic and sometimes acute medical conditions, as well as providing long-term services and supports at home. It's not surprising many caregivers feel unprepared, unsupported, overburdened and stressed. The best predictor of nursing home placement in the United States is not the health of the older adult, but the health of the family caregiver. Yet what supports are available, and are they sufficient?
The Costs of Caregiving
Family caregivers shoulder the responsibility of long-term care in our country- an estimated $450 billion per year savings for our overburdened healthcare system. According to AARP's 2011 publication, Valuing the Invaluable, that number is as much as the total sales of the world's largest companies, including Wal-Mart ($408 billion in 2009, the most of any company) and the three largest publicly held auto companies combined (Toyota, Ford and Daimler: total value $439 billion). Family caregivers are invaluable, yet largely neglected in the healthcare system.
The potential physical, mental, financial and social costs to family caregivers have been well documented. Another concern is the risk for abuse and neglect. Risk factors such as caregiver burnout, compassion fatigue and post-traumatic stress as a result of caregiving can be successfully ameliorated by caregivers having access to effective caregiver support programs.
Six Actions to Avert the Crisis
In October 2010, RCI (Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving) released a position paper outlining 12 recommendations for averting our nation's caregiving crisis. Since then, RCI has sought feedback from all sectors of government and professionals involved in service delivery, caregiving research and evidence-based implementation and policy. …

A former U.S. police officer is attempting to end Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds' run at the top of the box office by launching a lawsuit against the producers of their hit thriller Safe House.
Retired Chicago, Illinois cop Marty Christopher Lawson is requesting an injunction to stop Universal executives from further distributing the movie, which hit the top of the film charts in America last week (19Feb12).
He claims the plot of and characters in the film were stolen from his book, Truth or Treason, which detailed his efforts to uncover an alleged police conspiracy.
Lawson insists the movie has caused him "pain and suffering".

A lower fat ice cream recipe. Still not totally fat or calorie free, but better than the one that comes with most ice cream maker. It is really yummy. I add other item such as chopped up dark chocolate chips, crushed oreos, etc. to make it really good. Obviously will add more caloris and fat. Instead of vanilla, you can add mint extract for mint ice cream or peppermint extract for peppermint ice cream. The latter two are really good with dark chocolate chips.Submitted by MADWUPPIES

I don't know why people obsess about 32 bit "support" when their device manufacturer clearly states that that format is not supported. The DAC chips included on Xonar soundcards are regular 24 bit chips...
IMO, 32 bit is a worthless waste of space, all the '32 bit capable' DAC chips existent today have actual resolution less than 24 bit. Their catalog data is equal or even less than the top-of-the-line 24 bit DAC.
It's just shamless marketing and amazingly, enough people bite the bait.
The new beta plug-in (ver 2) works fine on E-MU 1820 w/ Win7 x64 and foobar ver 1.1.12 beta 6.

Maybe someone wants 32bit output to their DAC. It's hardly just "shamless marketing" and a "worthless waste of space". Maybe I misunderstood what SoNic67's post was trying to convey.

|Microalbuminuria is associated with impaired arterial and venous endothelium-dependent vasodilation in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20354354 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|BACKGROUND: Microalbuminuria in Type 2 diabetes is associated with arterial endothelial dysfunction, but the venous bed was never evaluated.
AIM: To study the endothelial function in the venous and arterial bed in patients with Type 2 diabetes with normoalbuminuria or microalbuminuria.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We evaluated 28 patients with Type 2 diabetes, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) <7.5%, who were classified as normo- (albuminuria <30 mg/24 h; no.=16) or microalbuminuric (albuminuria 30-300 mg/24 h; no.=12). Venous and arterial endothelial function were assessed by the dorsal hand vein technique (venodilation by acetylcholine) and brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilation, respectively.
RESULTS: Patients were normotensive (systolic arterial pressure: 131.1±10.6 mmHg) and on good metabolic control (HbA1c: 6.6±0.6%). Microalbuminuric patients presented impaired venous (32.9±17.4 vs 59.3±26.5%; p=0.004) and arterial vasodilation (1.8±0.9 vs 5.1±2.4; p<0.001), as compared to normoalbuminuric patients. There was a negative correlation between acetylcholine-induced venodilation and albuminuria (r=-0.62; p<0.001) and HbA1c (r=-0.41; p=0.032). The same was observed between flowmediated arterial vasodilation and albuminuria (r=-0.49; p=0.007) and HbA1c (r=-0.44; p=0.019). Venous and arterial vasodilation was positively correlated (r=0.50; p=0.007).
CONCLUSIONS: Both venous and arterial endothelial function are impaired in Type 2 microalbuminuric diabetics, in spite of good metabolic control, suggesting that other factors are involved in its pathogenesis.
