Traveling West
This is just a wrap up of our trip west. I have posted some about Memphis, the Grand Canyon, and San Francisco. This is just a general post about traveling west. This was our third trip across the US in about 7 months. That does not make me an expert in traveling by rather a bit crazy. At times I can't believe that we did.
We were not as organized in our packing and planning. I think all the organization when into getting our house packed which meant sorting things to ship and putting things in storage. We got that finished on Saturday and then left on the trip on Tuesday morning. We went south and then west. That was to avoid possible winter weather and also to visit some family and friends along the way. This trip took us through 14 states.
We did plan two sightseeing and rest days along the way. One in Memphis where we were able to spend time with my brother and his family. We went to the Children's museum and ate some Memphis BBQ at Central BBQ.
Miss K the dentist. She loved the museum and loved even more playing with her cousin.
An afternoon with some wonderful friends, a morning at the Grand Canyon, and a day in San Francisco. Jack was enjoying the organ and we were remembering so many good times, classes we taught, students we knew, restaurants we ate at with our friends from Taiwan.
We didn't plan that many activities for the car. Thankfully, grandma sent a bag full of treat bags with instructions like "open when you get to Virginia." That gave the kids some new activities and things to look forward to.
We did also have some unplanned interesting stops — We stopped at the Hoover Dam just enough to drive across it and go back and forth in the time zones.
We did drive through Las Vegas just to see it. I tried to take some pictures from the car as we were driving down the strip.
We saw the neon Motel 6 and neon McDonald's.
Some things don't always go as planned. When they say that there can be snow at Yosemite in March. They really do mean that. We had planned to go there for a day but got snowed out. I think that was the most snow that we have seen this winter.
I think by the time we got here we were tired of fast food and were ready to unpack and stay. We are here to stay until the beginning of July. Then to Asia for about a month and then to Europe. We are in transition.
Celebrating Down Syndrome
Today is Down Syndrome day. It is the 21st day of the 3rd month so we are celebrating the 3rd copy of the 21 chromosome.
I remember back to when we were first told that Miss K might have Down Syndrome. Then we waited for the chromosome test results to come back and it was confirmed she had Down Syndrome. At that time celebrating Down Syndrome was not something I thought I would celebrate. It is a disorder, it is not normal, there are delays, medical issues and there was quite a bit of unknowns. Yes, those are all true but even in all this we see that God is good and we can trust that this is part of his plan for our lives.
Down Syndrome affects about 1 in every 700 children here in the US. Down Syndrome. It is not normal — there should be a total of 46 chromosomes but with Down Syndrome there are 47. There are delays in physical ability, and mental which impacts walking, running, jumping, skipping, speaking, learning but it is delays. There are medical issues for Miss K that meant surgery to correct duodenal stenosis and then heart surgery both before she was even a month old.
So what is there to celebrate? There are numerous things to celebrate — the medical care that Miss K has received since birth. She was born overseas and it was there that she had the first two surgeries. We are thankful for the doctors and therapists that treated her when she was born. There are the doctors and other therapists that we have met along the way. The speech therapist that lived in the same village as we did in Hong Kong and offered her services, and most recently the therapy center near our house providing the boost that Miss K needed at this time.
Because of the delays we tend to celebrate the accomplishments even more. She hit a number of the baby milestones and the end of the range. Now she has learned to skip and hop. She loves ballet and her skipping and hopping are needed for that. We celebrate things like learning to zip her coat and then we have to push her to keep doing it. Miss K is reading and that means she can read the menu and decide that she wants pizza. We celebrate her improved speech at the same time having to deal with what that means. She has learned to make excuses — she can't sit in the chair because "it is too pokey" or she can't put leave her stuffed animal at home because "he is shy".
Miss K has an incredible memory which continues to amaze us. She was right in remembering the neighbor's name when we got back to the house here in the northwest. She has memorized the books of the Old Testament with her Sunday School class. She has her timeline down from Classical Conversations.
So many of those unknowns have turned into blessings. I am thankful that while they are unknown to me, God knows them and has planned out all the details.
She keeps us laughing. As we were doing math this morning, I asked her what 2+2= she replied, "that is a good question."
We continue to have challenges but isn't that true with each child. We celebrate who Miss K is and all that she has done. Down Syndrome is part of who she is but she is so much more than that. Look beyond that and see a girl who loves life, princesses, pink, ballet, sparkles, chocolate, and chocolate mint ice cream.
We celebrate life today.
San Francisco
San Francisco is one of my favorite cities. As we planned our trip, we wanted to have a few places where we could just rest and spend two nights in the same place instead of having to unpack for the night, sleep, and then pack and leave. One place was Memphis and the second place was San Francisco. We had family and friends to stay with and so that made it nice.
I had been to Alcatraz on one of my previous trips to San Francisco and so that was on the top of my list. I thought this would be a place that my husband and J would enjoy.
We took the boat there which is just a mile from San Francisco.
We went to a short film that they were showing that included a bit about the history of Alcatraz. Some of the beginning history was as a fort during the Civil War. I tend to not think of the Civil War as this far west but it did protect the bay.
The admission to included an audio tour which really does make the tour much more interesting to hear some of the stories from former prisoners, workers and even children who lived there.
The story came to life as we walked down the walkways, looking in the cells and hearing the stories. We heard about the escape and how the three men who escaped created a head from concrete and glue and then climbed through the vents.
I am not sure why her mouth is open — maybe she was yelling for help.
San Francisco is just a mile away. One of the things that they said on the audio tour was that especially on New Year's Eve you could hear the parties. I guess that gives meaning to the saying, so close and yet so far away.
After our tour of Alcatraz, we ate a picnic lunch and then walked around Pier 39. We wandered in some of the shops and saw the sea lions.
We watched them play and listened to them bark. They really are loud. You can hear them before you see them. They are bigger than I thought.
We were getting tired and it was getting to be a bit overcast so we decided to just drive about the city a bit. We went to Lombard Street. That was even considered an attraction in our GPS. The worst part of getting to Lombard Street was going up one hill that seemed to be about a 30 degree angle. I wasn't sure our van was going to make it. It reminded me of going up to the Victoria Peak on the tram.
We did it, twisting and turning. We made our way to the bottom and then I took a few pictures. It is very much a tourist attraction. There were a number of people at the bottom taking pictures.
We drove and saw some of the cable cars and tried not to sing "Rice Roni, the San Francisco treat."
The last thing that we did was drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. My husband said that one of the times that he visited he walked across the bridge. I think I prefer to drive across. Just thinking about walking across brings out that dislike of heights.
It was a fun day and gave us a break that we needed in our travels. I think we must have rested up because as we were leaving the next day, Stuart asked if I thought we could drive all the way — 12 hours. We did it, arriving at 1:30 am but it was good to be at our destination and not have to unpack and repack the car.
I am sharing these just because.
My mom was great at saving all kinds of things from our childhood. I have a book of old Fisher Price toys that she saved for me. This is one of those things that she saved. At one time I had it hanging as decoration. My mom made this for me one year for spring. It was a bit tight for Miss K. I should have found it a year ago and she could have worn it.Here is another memory item that I had in Miss K's room.
My grandmother made these years ago. I remember them hanging in her bedroom and then every now and then my cousins and I would get one for Christmas. The girl with the mirror was one of my favorites maybe because it had a bit of a mirror. These were one of those things that I didn't know what to do with so I hung them in Miss K's room. They are now in storage and so they are memories.
Civil Rights Museum
During our recent drive across the country we stopped for an extra day in Memphis. We had a few things on our list of things to do — the Civil Rights Museum, a tour of St. Jude, and spending time with family. Graceland was not on the list.
The Civil Rights Museum is at the Lorraine Motel which is where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr was assassinated.
Part of the museum was closed for some renovations but to compensate they have the room that he was staying open so you could look in. It looked very much like a 1960's motel room.
The museum part that was open was across the street where the boarding house was located it was from the open window in the bathroom that the shot went out across the street.
One of the interesting things in the museum was just to see the evidence. They had quite a bit of evidence there which was interesting from a law enforcement side and detective work.
We have not studies much of this time period — we did learn about Brown and the Board of Education. It is nice when you can visit a place or museum after studying about it but sometimes you have the opportunity to go and so you take that opportunity and then later talk about and remember what you saw.
Grand Canyon – Part 2
After the rush to get to the Grand Canyon before sunrise, we went back to our hotel and ate breakfast then we went back to the Grand Canyon. I was a bit surprised that even though it was the beginning of March a number of the hotels had no vacancy.
As we drove into the park, we saw a mule deer. It reminded us a bit of Yellowstone.
We started off at the Visitor's Center so the children could pick up the book for the Jr. Ranger program. We have done it at a number of the national parks and I find it a helpful way to get some educational aspects into our visit.
One of the things that was required for the Jr. Ranger program was to attend a Ranger program. We went on a nature walk with one of the rangers. We did learn some interesting things about the yucca plant — the Native Americans used the roots to make a soap as well as a few other things.
We then drove along the rim towards the watchtower. J really wanted to hike and he was able to "hike" to the watchtower. We stopped at a few places along the way back to the Visitor's Center.
There was a bit of snow on the ground so we can prove that we were there in the winter.
Kylie had spent the previous day looking out the car window and thinking that the hills we saw were the Grand Canyon. In preparation for our visit, we had watched Awesome Science Grand Canyon video. It was a good introduction to the Grand Canyon.
We learned that the average visitor spends 3 1/2 hours at the Grand Canyon. We were a bit higher than the average as we stayed about 6 hours.
It was a fun day and I am glad that we were able to take the children there. Now we continue our drive across the country.
Grand Canyon at Sunrise
We did it. We got up early and went to the Grand Canyon for sunrise. I think I am still amazed that we did it. We got to Mather Point as the sun was beginning to break through the horizon.
We were thankful that we were here in March as the sunrise was at 6:56 and not in June when the sunrise is at 5:13.
It was cold early in the morning. We were at the South Rim which is about 6000 feet elevation. I don't think we really thought about how cold it would be there.
The view really is amazing. I don't know that photos will really show the view. We stood in awe of God's creation, the beauty and majesty.
As the sun rose, we were able to see the changes in the canyon. The shadows moved and the colors were bright.
Then we went back to our hotel to get breakfast and we went back to the Grand Canyon. I am glad that we got up early and saw the Grand Canyon at sunrise.
This is part of our drive across the US via the southern route this time.

Ryan and Reconciliation Is a Powerful Combination
As of this writing, House Ways and Means Chairman Paul Ryan has not decided whether to run for speaker. He has been bombarded by all the Republican factions. Even Mitt Romney says the Wisconsinite can unify the Republican conference and take ON the job.
Every Now and Then, the GOP Should Disrupt the Status Quo
Nobody really likes government shutdowns, including me. But sometimes you have to make a point. Send a message. Show voters what you really believe. Take a stand.
Why Don't These Candidates Ever Talk about Money?
While there were some great moments in the latest GOP debate, and some terrific individual performances — Carly Fiorina seemed to grab all the buzz in the aftermath — one thing that barely came up was the economy. It was very much like the first debate.
Fed Right, Trump Wrong
Just-published minutes from the Fed's July 28-29 meeting indicate that most officials saw conditions for a rate liftoff as "not yet" achieved. They may be approaching a rate-hike moment, but they're not there yet.
Move at the Pace of an Injured Snail
Pretty much everyone in the world wants the Federal Reserve to begin its "rate liftoff." September is the latest target date for this market consensus. But permit me one dissenting question: Are you sure?
Economic Debate: Kasich, Rubio, Bush Up; Trump's Protectionism a Real Downer
With a record 24 million people watching the GOP debate, you'd think there would have been a lot more time spent on the most important issue of the day: the economy. Look at any poll. Jobs and the economy are always at the top of the list. But there was barely a mention of this on Thursday night.
Donald Trump, Supply-Sider?
Is Donald Trump a supply-sider? In his still young presidential campaign, he has said several times that he wants to be the "jobs president." In his announcement speech, he put it this way: "I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created."
Hillary's Inconceivably Stupid Capital-Gains Tax Scheme
Her "short-termism" fear will lead to long-term stagnation.
Jeb Bests Hillary in an American Worker Tweet-Off
Jeb Bush is right and Hillary Clinton is wrong. You can probably say that about a lot of things. But in this case it's about the need for more part-time American workers to work full-time in order to improve their own lots as well as the lot of the economy.
Worse Than the Supremes: Obamacare Economics Is A Taxpayer Bailout in the Cards?
The judicial decision to uphold all of the president's health care subsidies may be very disappointing, but the economics of Obamacare are far worse than whatever constitutional mistakes have been committed by the Supreme Court.
Jeb Is Right about 4 Percent Growth
"There is not a reason in the world why we cannot grow at a rate of 4 percent a year." That's what Jeb Bush said when he officially announced his presidential run in Miami last week. And right off the bat, most economists trashed the idea.
Randy Richardson: Conservatism's Banker
Just as the great William F. Buckley Jr. laid the intellectual foundation for the rise of modern conservatism, philanthropist R. Randolph Richardson set down the financial foundation of the new conservative movement. But Randy Richardson, who died May 25 at the age of 89, is not a household name. He was a low-key guy who stayed out of the limelight, and he made a habit of giving credit to others. But like Buckley, he was a firm believer in a free society, free markets, and a strong defense to defeat communism. And the mark he made on the conservative movement is deep and lasting.
The Essential King Dollar/Low-Energy Nexus
The strong May jobs report — including a 280,000 jump in nonfarm payrolls — reminds me of the big debate over the harmful effects of a strong dollar and falling oil prices. But where's the harm? King Dollar, along with | Read More »
Janet Yellen's Back-to-the-'50s Interest Rates
Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen told us recently that the target for the federal funds rate will be raised slightly later this year.
Will Anyone Ever Defend Banks?
One of the interesting nuggets coming out of the conservative sweep in the British elections was the failure of bank-bashing by the Labour Party. Labour leader Miliband, who has since resigned, was anti-bank, anti-rich and anti-business. It failed.
GOP Will Lose in 2016 Without Sensible Immigration Reform
If the GOP doesn't put together a sensible immigration policy, it will lose the 2016 presidential election.
Zero Inflation Is Holding the Economy Together
Don't expect any miracles from the economy. But don't expect a collapse either.

Don't just rely on Benjamin Netanyahu's passionate advice to Congress on his way to reelection that Iran is our archenemy.
The dog ate my homework: Hillary's judgment problem
Hillary acknowledging that it would have been better to use two email accounts is about as close to an apology from the Clintons you'll ever get.
Time for a military man in the White House?
Imagine having a president who looks forward to the daily intelligence briefing, completely unlike Obama.

Effort makes government more accessible
Published: Friday, July 7, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 7, 2006 at 1:25 p.m.
The issue: The Parish Council goes paperless.
We suggest: Its a good move.
Ever go to a council meeting and try to keep up with whats going on? If you did, you would likely hear references to documents that you dont have.
The paperwork, called "backup" by the Terrebonne Parish Council and its staff, includes the details behind each item on that nights council agenda.
If a project bid is to awarded, for instance, the documents would include a list of the companies that submitted bids and for how much. If the topic at hand is a zoning change, the documents would include maps of the affected area.
This packet of more-detailed information can include correspondence among council members and other parish officials, parish laws up for consideration, resumes of candidates for parish jobs and advisory boards and plats and maps of areas being discussed.
As things stand, you can access the council agendas on the parish governments Web site, www.tpcg.org, but you cant get the backup documents without requesting the information in advance. It must then be faxed, e-mailed or the recipient must make a special trip to pick it up.
Plans are now under way to make those hundreds of pages accessible online as well. It will be available starting at noon each Friday preceding a meeting.
The Parish Council paid $25,000 to a company that will put the information online. The firm will train parish staff to do the same, a service that will cost another $3,000 a year and include software upgrades as necessary.
Add to that another $186,162, the cost of a new, larger computer server to keep up with the workload and demand.
Thats no small sum, but its still a small price to pay for a service that will make public information more accessible to taxpayers, constituents and the public at large.
Going paperless will omit the formality of having to ask for the documents, the inconvenience of having to fetch them and the expense of having to duplicate them. Once the kinks are ironed out, anyone who wants to will be able to access the documents online -- anytime of the day or night.
The cost will be offset as more people access the information via computer -- eliminating the cost of photocopying the papers.
The project timeline is a little behind -- thanks to hurricane issues and computer woes. The new server is expected to correct the latter, and the service is scheduled to be available by late July.
And its an offering that we eagerly await. Anything that makes public information more accessible to the public is a good thing and should be applauded.
This system will work in tandem with the one already being used, having folks call up and request paper copies as theyve always done.
That means all facets of the public -- those who prefer to get their information electronically and those who either dont have computers or prefer the hard copies -- can get the documents too.
Its a win-win for all taxpayers.

Zardoz NOTWax is a slippery pure liquid Teflon base lubricant from DuPont. Just wipe it on your ski or snowboard base and go, in any snow condition, at any temperature. Each application lasts 1-3 days. NOTWax also contains RUSTblock. A quick coat after snow sliding will help to prevent edge rust!.
A great product, do believe the hype! Adds an instant kick to your bases, but where we feel it comes into its own is in slushy conditions (Spring conditions) where it is outstanding at preventing that 'sticking' feeling, and also for preventing rust; even just the flight home seems to be enough for rust to appear, but this really does prevent it!
Material: DuPont Teflon Liquid
Whether you are too busy to wax your skis or snowboard, or want that extra performance, especially in variable snow conditions, this is a product ANY winter sports enthusiast will love. And ideal gift.

I went to Lower East Side Pickle Festival a while ago. People brought their homemade pickles made with so many different kinds of vegetables. It was a hot steamy day, but the tasting of the free sample pickles was enjoyable. Some pickles were not well made, so its taste was kind of soggy. Pickles should be crunchy!
Look at this picture that I took. The girl in the center wearing hat hiding half of her face looks so cute. She was like fresh pickle on that day for me.

Anyway, to explain the problem better, ingame (and in buldozer) the satmap isn't showing at the southern and eastern edges of the map, I guess pictures will explain better than I will:
(they're taken at the exact same spot and same time, just opened the map).
As you can see the satmap-texture starts appearing way too far north (I've marked the approximate position it appears with black dots).
Any idea what causes this? As you can see the satmap shows up fine on the ingame map (and in visitor 3), just not in the actual game and buldozer.
My sat_lco.png is 5120x5120 pixels if that helps. (and the terrain size is 5120x5120 metres)

OCP-3 The natural remedy.
I've been very curious over the past few weeks as to just WHY it is
OPC-3 seems to help with pretty darned near EVERY disease imagineable
mankind... so over the weekend, I started to do a bit of research and
is what I have come up with so far.
Let me know if you have any questions :)
First, here is a link to a site completely unrelated to Market America
all kinds of good info about OPC: http://www.opc.cc
And a library here: http://www.chiroonline.net/Library.html that is
maintained by one of our MA doctors that I've found very helpful when
chatting with folks about different conditions.
To summarize what I have learned: The root of most basic problems seems
be that Systemic Allergies cause Mast Cells to be made. Mast Cells then
trigger pain & inflammation and produce more histamines as well.
The intestines & bladder have a similar Epithelium (lining) made up of
mucosal surface (glycosaminoglycans, or GAG). GAGs and glycoproteins
allow tissue cells to hold together. GAGs and GPs are also necessary
for the
construction and maintenance of nearly all of the body�s connective
and lubricating fluids.
So, a defective GAG layer leading to intestinal permeability could be
start of a disease process that encompasses many seemingly different,
related, conditions. Several conditions share common bond�defects in
linings of the involved organs, which would allow various substances,
ordinarily not found beyond these organs� surfaces, to "cross over,"
creating an environment favorable for certain disease processes. This
explain the development of several of these related diseases, from IC,
ulcerative colitis, and Crohn�s, to allergies, asthma, sensitive skin
fibromyalgia. Once substances are allowed to cross over, this sets up a
chain reaction which could explain the involvement of mast cells,
neurohormones, nerve fibers and pain regulators.
So... The results of the study in a nutshell are: These diseases are
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Sensitive Skin
Chronic Fatigue & Immune Deficiency Syndrome
Urge Incontinence
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Most of these are treated successfully with tricyclic antidepressants
antihistamines, the theory being that they share a common connection
increased pain perception in the central nervous system.
Now... how OPC-3 comes in... OPC-3 is an anti-inflammatory and blocks
histamine production!
Histamine is produced in two ways: 1) Under the influence of
in mast cells; 2) by decarboxylation of an amino acid called histidine.
hinders the HD enzyme and thereby inhibits the production of histamine.
We already know that Clarkia (aka Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin) is a natural
compound present in most fruits and vegetables, and particularly in
bark, skin, and seeds. Most notably Proanthocyanidins are found in pine
bark, grape seed, and grape skin. However, bilberry, cranberry, black
currant, green tea, black tea, and other plants also contain these
flavonoids. We also know that it is not usually found in our daily
diets in
quantities approaching therapeutic value, and the amount present in raw
is often destroyed during cooking. However, supplementation with OPC
extracted from pine bark and from grape seeds has been shown to protect
against cardiovascular and other degenerative diseases and to have
other benefits, including: lowering LDL cholesterol levels, reducing
platelet aggregation, increasing the strength and elasticity of blood
vessels, helping collagen repair itself, reducing edema and
relieving functional problems associated with varicose veins, lessening
tendency toward diabetic retinopathy, and improving skin health and
overall immune system function.
It has been known for centuries that Clarkia counteracts allergic
Masquelier explains the anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic activity of
on the basis of their antioxidant activity. Free radicals activate the
release of histamine and other mediators and they are also produced by
mediators. This is how free radicals form essential components in the
development and perpetuation of inflammations and allergic reactions."
in Practice, by Bert Schwitters in Collaboration with Prof. Jack
Masquelier's discovery of OPC's has a well documented proven record of
years of scientific research and human studies, conducted through
universities, scientific institutes, hospitals and clinics by medical
practitioners, dieticians and specialists of various professions.
So, how does OPC help the immune system?
The good news is that OPC is great at neutralizing peroxynitrate. It
reduces the amount of superoxide available that makes peroxynitrate and
helps to regulate the nitric oxide production so that it stays in
That means your immune system works better, your joints hurt less, and
blood flows better, from OPC.
Keep in mind that when you are dealing with chronic, severe conditions
Crohn's or Fibromyalgia, that the best way to start is by doing a colon
cleanse for one week. That will clean out the toxins that are currently
the system. Then have the customer start to drink 4-6 ounces of Aloe
Juice 3
times a day, and take Digestive Enzyme w/Probiotics after each meal.
Implementing a low glycemic index diet would also be best as carbs like
white flour products seem to aggravate these conditions.
The Aloe and Digestive Enzymes will help the healing to start. After a
weeks on that regimen, they can start adding OPC and B12 to their
Dosage is based on body weight.
For example, I just recommended the following to a 225 lb woman with
severe crohn's disease: 3 doses of OPC, 3 times a day before each meal
one dose of B12 WITH each meal.
They might want to keep taking the Aloe Juice and Digestive Enzymes to
with digestion.
After a few months of feeling better, then you can cut them back on the
dosage and help them determine the proper maintenance dosage.
Hope this helps everyone to understand OPC a little better :)

The Courtyard Villas of Mission Gardens offer a
Unique Mediterranean architectural design.
The distinctive Mediterranean architecture includes tile roofs and PastelCote bric walls. Accents of brick and wood trim embellish the stylish exteriors. Plantings at the entries, common areas and perimeter areas complement the Mediterranean style of the buildings.
The Courtyard Villas are arranged in clusters of buildings, a plan that creates the atmosphere of a quiet and pesceful village. There are seven floor plans in single level and two-story styles. Discover more about modern log cabins at www.ilikelogcabins.com .
One of the most striking first impressions at Mission Gardens is something you don't see.... namely, garage doors. All the garages are hidden on private alleys behind the courtyard villas. So you and your neighbors will enjoy views uninterrupted by garage doors and cars in driveways.
At the southeast corner of the village, a private community garden park offers a special place for group gatherings. The outdoor entertaining courtyard features a fireplace, barbecue facilities and nicely appointed furnishings for you and your guests.
Courtyard Lifestyle
Floorplans have been designed to accommodate a casual lifestyle that does not require constant upkeep and maintenance. Yard work is now a thing of the past. That means niore time to spend doing the things you truly enjoy.
The centerpiece of each villa is an enclosed courtyard, providing a private respite for family and guests. It's an ideal spot for morning coffee, as well as cool drinks in the evening.
Building and Construction
- Quality materials
- Rich colors
- Fine craftsmanship
- Attention to detail
- Carefully selected appointments
- Thoughtful, space planning for maximum efficiency and motion
- A gated community that emphasizes privacy and peace of mind
Situated on South Olive Avenue (129th East Avenue), midway between 101st and 111th Streets in Broken Arrow, Missions Gardens is truly in the best of two worlds. The community is removed from the congestion of the inner city, and it is one stop sign from access to the Creek Turnpike. Thus, your villa is one turn from a speedy connection to any part of the metroplex. In fact, a commute to downtown Tulsa is quicker from Mission Gardens than from many neighborhoods much closer to the downtown area.

From one of our most acclaimed new biographers– the first full life of the leader of Lincoln's "team of rivals" to appear in more than forty years. William Henry Seward was one of the most important Americans of the nineteenth century. Progressive governor of New York and outspoken U.S. senator, he was the odds-on favorite to win the 1860 Republican nomination for president. As secretary of state and Lincoln's closest adviser during the Civil War, Seward… (more)
A close acquaintance of Seward once said that he was "kind, genial, approachable and humorous — full of good points, diplomatic to a fault." So too is this biography.

Origin : Cuba
Format : Sublime
Size : 164 x 21.43 mm
Ring : 54
Price : ~$20 each
More info about purchasing Montecristo cigars...
Considered as one of the most successful Cuban limited editions (among the recent ones), the Montecristo Sublime was released in 2008. The size, sublime, was first used by Cohiba in 2004 (for a limited edition as well). It is both fat (54 ring gauge, a monster by Cuban standards) and long (6 1/2 inches), which implies a smoking time of at least 1h30. I had one of these lying in the humidor for a few months now and was waiting for the day I would be able to dedicate enough time to fully enjoy the smoke. This day finally came and here is my review.

Fresh Ricotta: You Know You Want It
By root on May 05, 2008 4:26 PM
We all think we're the master (mistress?) of our own universe, but the truth is, we're not. You think you're drawn to that fuchsia top because you like it? Sorry. Most likely, a highly-paid fashion forecaster set the palette for Summer '08 way back, stores have placed it strategically and, voila: You're suddenly overwhelmed with the need for a closet-full of hot pink.
Similarly, if you have fresh ricotta on the mind, the versatile cheese has, in fact, been subliminally wiggling its way into your collective craving conscious for most of spring. And there's more than one chef to blame (or in this case, thank).

The End of an Era for Frisson
By root on April 28, 2008 4:19 PM
If you've been following the restaurant gossip these last few months then you've likely heard about Frisson. The restaurant closed a few months ago, ostensibly for a redesign, and partners Joe Hargrave and Andrew McCormack (who also own Laiola) teamed up with Myth chef Sean O'Brien, with grand plans for a redesign and relaunch. Meanwhile, Frisson's former chef Sarah Schafer scooted across town to head up the kitchen at the newly opened Anchor & Hope.
Kid-Friendly Dining: The Dilemma
By root on April 28, 2008 12:14 PM
Here's my dilemma: As a parent, I want my kids to experience all sorts of food at all sorts of restaurants—taquerias to ramen joints to the likes of Zuni. Sure, it would be easier to stay at home and eat Annie's, but what's the point of living in SF if they don't get a taste of it? (Admittedly, I have visions of them growing up worldly and cool, telling tales of their groovy, urban mom who took them out on the town and now they appreciate everything from kim chee to menudo to croquettes because of it. Thanks, Mom. We're forever indebted to you.)
El Cachanilla: The Perfect Tacos
By root on April 24, 2008 4:46 PM
I had a Technicolor food moment the other day: Running errands last weekend, on an intensely bright and beautiful Sunday, I pulled over at 21st and Treat to get a little lunch at El Cachanilla, the only taqueria in SF that transports me immediately to Mexico. The tacos are small in true antojito style, and served from a little window where your choices of meat are displayed in scratchy handwriting—in both Spanish and English. I conservatively ordered three carnitas tacos, but the sign says they offer everything from tripe to eye, neither of which have I tested out. I'm relatively hardcore, but not hardcore enough for eye taco.

But there's one business in San Francisco that setting the standard for green business, and proving that it's possible to be both successful and conscientious: Mixt Greens.

Candybar: No Just Desserts
By root on April 18, 2008 5:37 PM
I often have evenings where a sweet-tooth craving overwhelms me. One that needs to be fixed right then and there—and then I grumble (I'm a woman of more than one rant) about why on earth there isn't a place designed for these moments, places made for nothing but tucking into a piece of pie, a slice of triple-layer cake, a pudding. Something comforting and familiar. (Something like this strawberry crostata from the Zuni cookbook that my friend Alan makes. Mmmmmm.)

How to use Xdebug and PhpStorm with VDD
VDD supports out of the box Xdebug working configuration. You can simply start your virtual environment, open your project with PhpStorm and start debugging.
To make your debugging more comfortable you should install Xdebug helper extension in your browser. I'll use Google Chrome in this example.
There is a more up-to-date article on the phpstorm website.
This article adapted from the original article PhpStorm for Drupal by Angus Mak of Lullabot
This Article explains you how to configure your PHPStorm to work with your local installation of Drupal and debug using XDebug.
If you would like to know how install Drupal or Acquia drupal or XDebug please refer to the hundreds of articles already published.
It is assumed you already have a full Drupal environment which includes: Apache, MySQL, PHP, Drupal and XDebug

Physically, this is an outward-looking restaurant. Good sightlines abound thanks to two patios with metal-mesh tables stepping down towards the water, and the milky-white dining room's expansive floor-to-ceiling window. Framed on one side by the Staten Island ferry terminal and the Cruise Line dock on the other, Battery Gardens delivers an uninterrupted view of boats in action and photo-ready shots of the Statue of Liberty and Governors Island. The menu tries to look outward as well by giving American dishes smart sauces and garnishes. But each dish has its drawbacks as well. Vegetables look pretty but are dry, unseasoned, or questionably fresh. The little disappointments add up: flat soda, acrid espresso, bland rolls. But at least the cheesecake, a creamy, nearly crustless cylinder topped with a blueberry compote, ends any meal on an up note.Brunch

"Is every building here a guesthouse?" Luang Prabang by bpwarne
Luang Prabang Travel Guide: 1,074 reviews and 2,741 photos
following are notes/emails to incorporate:
I am here, arrived about 2 this afternoon. Bus was really crowded, left at 9:00AM. Again, I was the only tourist other than one Russian guy.
LP is nice, however, it is the start of the Laos New Year today and for fun everyone throws water on everyone. Fun for awhile, but after so many hours of constantly being wet....well, I think I will get out of town tomorrow as this goes on for 2 more days. The French and the English seem to be into it though, seems they all bought squirt guns and are joining in. Remember, these are the people who think Jerry Lewis is a genius.
The Kip is the currency, exchange rate is 8.69/1USD. Things are not cheap here. Hard to find a beer for less than a dollar. Food about the same as Saigon, maybe a bit higher. I'm surprised. I paid $15 for a room not near as nice as in the backpacker ghetto of Saigon and does not include breakfast. Again, could not get into the guesthouse I wanted, where she teaches cooking.
Much much better time this morning and afternoon. Changed room, $34, river view, breakfast, two sheets, top AND bottom! Can you believe it? A/C. Spotless new bathroom. Took an incredibly long hot shower and just lied there for an hour. Went up the street and met an Indian/New York guy at one of the food stalls. Fantastic Sandwich on a whole Baguette, vegetables, pork, scrambled egg, chicken, about 4 different sauces, slightly hot and a little sweet tasting. Truly fantastic. 50 cents. Then had a mixed fruit shake, also 50 cents (5000 kip, well maybe 60 cents each, still, one of the best meals ever. Will go to the dock around 4-5pm and see if Phillip the German shows up from Bam Preng or wherever the hell it was. I have two beds so if he does, maybe split room with him. Big party again today for New Year, everybody in streets, not near as much water throwing as yesterday....yet.
I'm thinking Elephant Camp is out. $35 for room is ok. $15 for 1 hour ride ok, but we already did that in Thailand last year so would most likely pass on it anyway. However, $110 to wash elephant!!! I said, no sir, you misunderstand. Ido not wish to buy elephant, only wash. Still, $110. A bit steep by my taste. I was prepared to pay $10-$40, maybe $60 tops. So, I think 'll go to the remote place by the waterfalls, same lady owns it as the place in town w/cooking classes that is so full now. It is $20/night at her out of town place, inc breakfast. No transport there though, so will have to see a tuk tuk driver.
You can not rent motos here any longer. New law passed recently, Locals say you still can rent them in Vientiane though (next stop), this is a huge disappointment as I came here to rent a moto and head into the hills. the city itself does not have much to entertain me. Also: you cant even rent bicycles here anymore! Also against the law...unbelievable!
Anyway, finally feel like I can relax a bit now and feel rested. After traveling so far, you want something more than a bare lightbulb, smelly bath, one sheet bed and noisy fan with a bunch of French people hanging outside your window smoking, blowing cigarette smoke in and yakking,
When I turned on the air conditioner last night about 12, nothing happened. When I told my host this today she says, "oh, yes must pay more if want A/C. You no know? $4 more per night."
People are nice where I am at now, higher class clientele means higher class staff I presume. Speak good English.
it's surprising how good their English is when negotiating a moto or tuk tuk ride, huh? But as soon as you are on the bike or in the tuk tuk, they suddenly know no English, except,"more" maybe. Speaking of tuk tuks...they are outrageous here! $2USD to go to a building a few blocks down the street from here...you can SEE the building, can walk it in less than 5 minutes! They will not negotiate or if so, maybe 20%. I think I am beginning to understand why tourists can no longer rent motos or even bicycles in this town.
Think I will go check on a ride for tomorrow and celebrate with another shower and A/C spell!
Life is good....today anyway
Went to the Kuangsi waterfalls by van. 40000 kip or about $4.50 roundtrip. Then must pay 20000 kip to get in. Twice what Lao people have to pay. Was a big joke. Waterfall very nice but zillions of people. There were not hundreds there, there were thousands there. There was no real place to swim as advertised. It was really developed though with lots of stalls to buy all the usual Asia crap that we tourists must have. So, after spending 10 minutes at falls, sat with German guy (Rudy) and his Malaysian wife I met in the van. Real nice people, living in Tanzania. Had beer, chips, huge smoked fish. Very disapointed w/Luang Prabang. Cant get around easily and cant really explore the surrounding area due to the "Tourists Without Wheels' program they have enacted here. Most frustrating. Went back to hotel , picked up laundry. $55000!!! Thats almost $7!!! Told them there was no way it weighed 5.5 kilos!! Then a conversation ensued between her and another girl she called in. After they went back and forth (I stayed out of it), one of them gave me back 25000. No explanation, she didnt appear mad or upset. Tried to book a bus for tomorrow and was told by two different travel cafes I must go directly to the bus station as they are not allowed to book anything til April 20. No explanation as to why, just said government said so. So, this means I must packup tonight and leave the hotel at about 7AM to go to the bus station in hopes of getting a ticket. It seems like transportation is a real hassle this trip. It has been nothing like last year. Also, no seats available on any planes out of here tomorrow (sound familiar?)
Went for a massage, place advertised Thai. Was 40000 kip, or $4.50. Was pretty good, used her legs and the like. Not as good as in Thailand but better than Vietnam last year. Why are massages so cheap here?
Met a guy from Iceland....He had been to India and said it was dangerous, especially for women. Did not like it. Then when we got back to the van a woman said she had been to Calcutta and said it was like a bomb had gone off and no one was bothering to clean it up. So, here she is in this third world country they call Laos, telling us how bad India is. At this point the German fellow and his wife chime in about how much they agreed with her. Whats with all this bad press on India?
Today I have a sore throat...so I went to the pharmacy this evening and got some Ampicillan. Cost $1000 kip or about $1.15 for a 3 day supply, which is what they recommended. I dont feel sick except for the raw throat. Guess it may be the flu or a cold coming on, hope not.
A real nice young Lao guy at the hotel drove me to the bus station this morning and refused to take any money. Really a kind nice guy. He was really upset at how much the tuk tuk mafia (as the russians call them) were demanding from me when I was negotiating with them on the street in front of the hotel. He came over and told me to not bother, he would take me.
Speaking of buses. I find it rather amusing that I have come across quite a few 'ecotourism' tour agents and guest houses touting 'ectourism' tours in Laos at very high prices. But, I have yet to be on a long haul bus here that made rest stops where there actually is a bathroom of any sorts. They all stop at the side of the road, sometimes actually right in the road. Everyone piles out and does their business, most at the side of the road, a few actually do not even bother walking that far, just do it on the road. I guess there are few toilets in the countryside in Laos. So, if you wish to be ecologically correct...dont ride the busses!
Didnt do much yesterday, stayed in town and was pretty relaxing. Met this Indian feelow living in New York, he says dont bother with India. Lots of thievery, no good infrastructure, etc. I have decided to go to these water falls today and spend one more night here. tomorrow i will go to Vientiane. Still unsure how to get to BKK from there but have at least 2 options.
This place is actually much larger than i had thought and sooo full of Europeans.
You can no longer rent a moto here or even a bicycle. Tuk tuks are VERY expensive. The price to get to the waterfall on your own is $30- $35 one way! This computes to $1 per kilometer, a rediculous price. So, I will go w/a group. Yet the tuk tuks sit empty...figure that. Also, you can not ride on the back of a motobike. Everyone must have a guide license to give u a ride.
They say it is different in Vientiane. We shall see.
Never did find Phillip. Ran into the Russians last night. They did not appear happy. They did part of the river ride, but most by bus due to water level on the mon noi or whatever river.
Never saw the Englishman and Swede again either. They have been traveling since early January.
Had another street sandwich for dinner and a fruit shake, then went back to my hotel and had a beer.
Laos is different in that they do not seem to bargain at all. They are friendly but you must usually approach them first. Not much English language here. They do not harrass you to buy. No one approaches you to hire a tuk tuk. So, that is very nice, a lot less hassle, no u buy, u buy for me?, u go where now?
Looks like rain. Big winds and lightning last night but little rain
- Pros:Little cafes overlooking the Mekong River
- Cons:Really, really, really overrun with tourists
- In a nutshell:A mixed bag of nuts

Calling all geeks! I've been bit by the bug and I'm gonna build my own 20W 12V Halogen rechargeable. As you can imagine... I've got a few questions. This time it's about battery options. I was down at Fry's on my lunch break looking at batteries and I'm wondering if anyone here can tell me how long the following units might power a hardware store variety 20W 12V halogen given a reasonably efficient wiring harness.
1: 12V, 4 Amp Hour, lead acid battery - pretty freakin' heavy.
2: 12V, 1.2 Amp Hour, lead acid battery - about a .3 the weight of the above, and very manageable.
3: 10 AA NimH rechargeables
Thanks for any help in advance. DanO

Woman pulled from burning carSeptember 04,2013POWNAL — A New York woman was pulled from her crashed car before fire could trap her inside Tuesday, police said.
Heather Partridge, 33, of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., was driving a 2004 Honda Civic south on Route 7, just north of Jackson Cross Road, around 6:30 a.m. when the car drifted off the west side of the road and rolled onto its side, according to Vermont State Police.
Witness Michael Andrews of Southbury, Conn., told police the car started to smoke and caught fire. Andrews, along with James Belanger of North Adams, Mass., Bruce Cooper, of Florida, Mass., and Timothy Criss, of Shaftsbury helped Partridge get out of the car before the fire engulfed it.
Partridge was taken to Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington by the Bennington Rescue Squad. The extent of Partridge's injuries are unknown at this time.

|The basement floor of the south annex should include public rest rooms. The first floor should house a concession stand and rooms for guards and the historian/museum manager. The second floor should house an assembly room for school and other groups. The third floor should house the Lincoln Library and its historical collection of manuscripts.
|The basement of the northeast annex should include storage space for study collections, a vault for maximum protection, and a storage room for framed pictures on racks. The first floor should contain a janitor's room and rest rooms for personnel. The second, third, and fourth floors should contain the custodian's offices, a guard- room, and storage and work space.
|Funds for refurnishing the restored structure and for the installation of the Lincoln Museum in the basement of Ford's Theatre to be equipped with modern museum cases and interpretive panels of contemporary design, and for the Lincoln Library, will be derived from a portion of the funds to be appropriated for full restoration of the structure.
A preliminary estimate of the cost for a complete restoration of Old Ford's Theatre Building and the two annexes will be approximately $2,000,000. Owing to rising construction and restoration costs since the original estimate, the foregoing figure may be exceeded after completion of the architectural study and the final development of all plans and specifications.

Quality of core collections for effective utilisation of genetic resources review, discussion and interpretation

Definition of clear criteria for evaluation of the quality of core collections is a prerequisite for selecting high-quality cores. However, a critical examination of the different methods used in literature, for evaluating the quality of core collections, shows that there are no clear guidelines on the choices of quality evaluation criteria and as a result, inappropriate analyses are sometimes made leading to false conclusions being drawn regarding the quality of core collections and the methods to select such core collections. The choice of criteria for evaluating core collections appears to be based mainly on the fact that those criteria have been used in earlier publications rather than on the actual objectives of the core collection. In this study, we provide insight into different criteria used for evaluating core collections. We also discussed different types of core collections and related each type of core collection to their respective evaluation criteria. Two new criteria based on genetic distance are introduced. The consequences of the different evaluation criteria are illustrated using simulated and experimental data. We strongly recommend the use of the distance-based criteria since they not only allow the simultaneous evaluation of all variables describing the accessions, but they also provide intuitive and interpretable criteria, as compared with the univariate criteria generally used for the evaluation of core collections. Our findings will provide genebank curators and researchers with possibilities to make informed choices when creating, comparing and using core collections.

iFixit and MacminiVault have both completed their teardowns of the new Mac mini, with Macminicolo planning theirs soon.
We already knew the main bad news: soldered RAM means you can't upgrade the memory later, so you have to decide how much you want and pay Apple's pricing for it. Both iFixit and MacminiVault described replacing the RAM as "impossible."

AirPort Utility is a built-in Mac app that is used to configure and control Wi-Fi networks using Apple's AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express, and Time Capsule. The AirPort Extreme is a base station router like you would use when setting up your Wi-Fi network. An AirPort Express is used to extend a Wi-Fi network to a larger area, or can be used to stream audio using AirPlay. A Time Capsule is a combination of an AirPort Extreme and an external hard drive, and comes in 2 TB or 3 TB. It automatically backs up all Macs on your network.
AirPort Utility has the ability to set limits on what time of day the network (and therefore the internet) can be accessed from specific wireless devices. This can be helpful in situations where parents want to keep kids off of the internet after a certain time. Time limits can be set for different times on different days of the week.

Selection of Planters
There are different types of planters available, and each type of planter has its own advantages. Before you start shopping for planters, take a look at some tips on what type of planters you should choose and what type of planters will work best for your need. There are several factors you will need to consider before choosing planters: the planters you choose will depend on the type of plant you plan to place in the planters, the location where you plan to place the planters, and the aesthetics of the planters.
The size, type, and style of the planters is determined by the plant size, the weight of the plant, the plant's watering needs, and the location of the planter. Choose planters that allow enough room for root growth, and depending on the location – whether you want to place the planters outdoors or indoors – you should choose planters with or without drainage (an indoor planter may not need a drainage hole as indoor plants may not need frequent watering; an outdoor planter will require drainage to drain the excess water out.) Planters are available in different types of materials as well, from porous material like terracotta planters to non-porous planters such as plastic planters. Choose planters that won't rot or crack and can withstand the extreme cold in winter and intense heat during summer months.
You should also consider accessories like water saucers to not only protect the planters, but to also keep the water from completely draining away and to keep the roots moist.
