Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.24 lbs (0.11 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
bought it, along with Neocell HYDRA serum, due to a lot of positive reviews. quickly found out that this product created a film on the face, which - yes - tightens the skin, but this film gets peeled off if you touch the face. willnever but again
I am 43 years old, I have a problematic oily, mixed, sensitive to the chemistry of the skin. From creams are often irritated and pimples. But this product is great. It moisturizes and does not clog pores, takes care of my face. For sensitive skin, this product is simply irreplaceable)))
Very nice serum

This seems good, consistency fine, works ok under my makeup. I tried this also as a cheaper alternative to the Jurlique serum I was using, as the price of that is now crazy expensive and it is tested on animals for the Chinese market. Am trying also the Hyaluronic serum.

Police remove possible grenade from Vt shopping plaza
MORRISTOWN Vermont State Police explosives experts have been trying to determine whether a hand grenade found in the drive-thru lane of a Morrisville restaurant was real or a novelty item.
Morrisville police said they were called to the Morrisville Shopping Plaza at about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday after receiving the report about the grenade outside a McDonalds restaurant.
When officers arrived they determined it was a completely assembled grenade.
Police shut down parts of Route 15, evacuated the plaza and called in the state police bomb squad.
State police experts made the device safe and removed it. They said they would X-ray it to see if it was real.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Morrisville police at 888-4211.MORE IN This Just InThe National Retail Federation, based in Washington, D.C., recently named Rep.Peter Welch, D-Vt.

When used in conjunction with proper fish-keeping practices, an
ultraviolet sterilizer is a great way to help protect aquarium inhabitants from potentially harmful microorganisms. Ultraviolet sterilizers use a special fluorescent lamp that emits light at a wavelength of 253.7 nanometers. Aquarium water pumped through the UV chamber is exposed to this UV light and is irradiated. Free-floating microorganisms in the passing water are affected by the UV light and are no longer able to multiply. Through continual use, UV sterilizers can help manage water quality issues due to microorganisms such as bacteria, algae, and parasites.
If you decide to use a UV sterilizer, ask yourself the following questions:
Choosing the right size unit
Proper flow rate through the UV chamber determines the effectiveness and use of a UV unit. Set at different flow rates, a UV sterilizer can be used effectively against bacteria, algae, or parasites. Different flow rates control different organisms. Therefore, a flow rate suitable for controlling bacteria or free-floating algae may not be effective against parasites. Larger organisms like parasites are more resistant to irradiation and require a slower flow rate to extend UV exposure time. To adjust UV exposure time, simply increase or reduce the rate water is flowing through the UV sterilizer.
Though manufacturers' recommendations will vary, the above chart provides a general idea of the wattage and the corresponding flow rates required for the control of bacteria, algae, or parasites.
In-line Sterilizers
Just as their name suggests, in-line models are plumbed directly into the main aquarium filtration system. The UV is placed after the mechanical filtration unit and should be the last in-line device before water returns to the aquarium. Generally a ball valve and bypass are used to adjust the flow rate through the UV sterilizer. Most in-line UV sterilizers are designed for larger aquariums and incorporate higher wattage bulbs encased in a long, cylindrical housing.
Hang-on Sterilizers
These compact sterilizers are mounted directly to the back of the aquarium. They are generally used as an independent device fed by a submerged powerhead. However, some hang-on sterilizers may also be connected to the return line from a canister filter or in-line filtration systems. Hang-on models tend to be easier to install and maintain, making them ideal for smaller aquarium setups.
In general, due to their relatively smaller size, a lower wattage bulb is used for hang-on sterilizers. However, to maintain efficient UV sterilization, these smaller units have a unique internal design. To maximize UV sterilization, a
spiral or stepladder design is incorporated to extend the length of time the water is exposed to UV light.
Regardless of the difference, UV sterilizers require a
water pump or circulation pump and
plumbing (sold separately) to transport water from the aquarium, through the UV chamber, and back into the aquarium.
UV sterilizers have many advantages and very few drawbacks. In addition to being easy to install, requiring low maintenance, and being affordable, they can provide huge health benefits for your fish. Make sure you get one that is the correct size, operate it under the appropriate conditions, and follow the manufacturer's maintenance guidelines to ensure optimal performance.

Online shoppers want multiple search options, a variety of payment options, and when it comes to shipping and returns, "free" is a driving factor to complete the sale, according to a new survey.
UPS plans to expand UPS My Choice and the UPS Access Point network, two services that, according to the company, work seamlessly together to manage residential package deliveries.
UPS expects to pick up more than 34 million packages Monday, Dec. 16, and expects to deliver 29 million packages globally Tuesday, Dec. 17, driven by e-commerce growth. The surge in volume during peak week — the final full week before Christmas, Dec. 16–20 — is a record for a single day at the package delivery company.

Small hospitals have a higher rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia than their larger counterparts, despite less frequent use of ventilators, according to a regional study.
The findings — published in the July issue of Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, the journal of the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America — suggest ventilator care and outcomes are different in small community hospitals and that these hospitals may need additional resources to care for these critically ill patients.
"Although it is unclear why small community hospitals experience more cases of ventilator-associated pneumonia, it may be related to limited familiarity with ventilator use and fewer specialty healthcare workers such as respiratory therapists," Deverick Anderson, MD, MPH, an author of the study, assistant professor of medicine at Duke University and co-director of the Duke Infection Control Outreach Network, said in a news release.
With most research on VAP focusing on large academic medical centers such as teaching hospitals, the researchers conducted this prospective study using surveillance data to help understand the epidemiology of VAP in community hospitals. They designated small hospitals as those with fewer than 30,000 patient days per year.
The researchers reviewed VAP cases observed in 31 community hospitals in the southeastern United States between 2007 and 2011. VAP accounted for an average of 1.4 infections per 1,000 ventilator days. The median length of stay for 247 patients with VAP was 26 days, and 35% died (among the 214 patients for whom outcomes were available).
Although the proportion of patients on ventilators was less in the smaller hospitals, those hospitals had a higher rate of VAP: 2.1 per 1,000 patient days, compared with 0.85 at medium hospitals (30,000 to 60,000 patient days per year) and 0.69 at large hospitals (more than 60,000 patient days per year).
"Our research may also suggest that staff at community hospitals are inexperienced with evidence-based protocols to prevent pneumonia in these under-resourced settings," Anderson said.

I'm working on a game in cocos2d (1.0.1), my artist sent me psd project files, all 3200x1800 resolution 300ppi. I'm supposed to make it for iPad and iPhone with and without Retina display. I realised I don't know nothing about graphics. What is the best way to prepare images for iPhone and iPad (both hd and sd). Should I scale it to 480x320? Should I use apps like Texture Packer? How to do it properly without any loss?
Easiest way is to make your graphics for both the iPad Retina display and the iPhone Retina display and then use Texture Packer to scale them automagically to the non-Retina size for each type of device.
As a workflow for the iPhone this then becomes:
In regards to #3 there are some good tutorials here:
Cocos2d is very good at handling all the point conversions between Retina and non-Retina versions of you game. Once you tell it to use the Retina graphics if they are available you can program your game using the standard 320x480 cocos2d point system and all the positioning will work in your bigger Retina display enabled version. (Or the 768x1024 iPad version).

The unfortunate (and that is not nearly a strong enough adjective) accident suffered by Petaluma Little Leaguer Brendan O'Neill is sure to revive the argument of metal vs. wooden bats.
First of all, it needs to be emphasized that what happened to Brendan was an accident. Not all injuries to young people are accidents. When harm is caused by carelessness or recklessness, it is not an accident. That is the case of most vehicle crashes. They are not accidents. They are preventable results of lack of attention or poor judgment.
What happened to Brendan was an accident, a happenstance of fate.
Would it have made a difference had the ball been hit by a wooden rather than a metal bat? Probably not. There was a time when baseball and softball were headed to continuing injuries when the composite bats got hotter and hotter with more and more whip action and bigger and bigger sweet spots.
After Marin Catholic High School pitcher Gunnar Sandberg was severely injured when he was struck in the head by a line drive off a metal bat in 2010, the California Interscholastic Federation developed standards for metal bats that supposedly put them on a par with wooden bats without the danger of breaking. Little League has similar standards.
I personally like wooden bats, but that is more a prejudice than a reasoned decision. I much prefer the crack of a wooden bat over the ping of the metal bats. But, the reality of today's metal bats is that, if they are indeed more dangerous than wooden bats, it is by a very slim degree.
I do agree with many that the Little League diamond is too small. Today's youngsters are bigger, stronger and throw faster. Forty-six feet is too close for a big pitcher to be throwing to batters — some of whom are pretty small. I believe this is where someone is going to get hurt.
Fortunately, well-designed batting helmets limit the potential for serious head injuries, but every season there are players who freeze and get hit in the face, arm, leg or other body parts. The smart ones usually managed to get hit where there is maximum natural padding.
It is time we take a serious look at moving the pitching mound back to 50 feet. Of course, this means moving the bases back to 70 feet from their current 60 feet.
Little League has already approved a division that would use the bigger diamonds.
It will be interesting to see how much moving the pitching mound and bases back will change the dynamics of the game. More troublesome is the size of parks themselves. Most have fences set at 200 feet. Those would have to be backed up to accommodate a larger infield. At most Little League parks, that would involve quite an undertaking and no little expense.
It is something I believe will eventually be done, but it will take planning, coordination and effort. It is not going to happen next season.
Meanwhile, it might make more sense that, rather than switching bats, youth baseball — not just Little League — go to face guards for pitchers. I would go a step farther and use face guards for batters as well.

Ok, so I may be a little biased but I think that these have got to be the cutest stockings ever.
You want to know my favorite part about these stockings??
They are made from dresses that once belonged to Great Grandma!!
A little over a year ago Grandma gave me a HUGE bag full of dresses and fabric scraps.
The story from Grandma is that once it became acceptable for women to wear pants, Great Grandma wanted nothing more to do with dresses at all. She gathered up all of her dresses and skirts and gave them to her daughter (Grandma) and wore nothing but pants from then on.
My Grandma had plans of one day making a quilt out of them but never got around to it. They have been sitting in storage all this time. That was until a little over a year ago when Grandma passed them on to me to create something wonderful out of.
Is that not the coolest story ever!! I love family history.
Now my girls have a part of their Great Great Grandma that they can pass down to their children one day.
Want to make one of your own?
*Warning: This is a very long post. I made several mistakes with my first stocking so I added tones of detail to make sure you don't make the same mistakes.
First you have to call your Great Grandma and ask if she would donate any of her old dresses.
If your Great Grandma is no longer around or she does not want to part with any of her dresses you could just use any fabric that you have lying around.
( I added a few 'newer' scraps to one of the stockings I made)
I googled elf stockings and found a few adorable 'FREE' pattern.
However, I wanted something a little larger (although I'm sure there is a way to enlarge a pattern on the computer before printing it. But I have no idea how to do that) so I ended up making my own.
I started with a paper grocery bag. Tearing it along the seam in the back that is holding it together. I also tore apart the seams on the bottom of the bag. Cutting might be more productive but I prefer to do things the hard way.
Either way you do it, You should end up with one large piece.
Now draw something that resembles an elf stocking.
Then erase it.
Draw it again.
Keep doing this until you get it perfect.
I used a plate to help me draw the rounded heal and toe.
Once you have something you are happy with, cut out your pattern.
Decide what fabric you want to use then cut a few strips 1 1/2 - 3 inches wide. The length of your strips will depend upon the width of the top of your stocking.
You want your strips to extend about a half inch on either side of your pattern.
Sew together just enough strips to cover the straight part of the stocking.
This next part is a little tricky. If anyone knows an easier way I would love to here it.
I wanted my fabric to curve with the heal and toe so I cut the rest of the fabric as I went.
Laying your fabric down on top of the pattern, decide the size and shape for the next piece of fabric.
Cut. Sew. Then repeat.
I did this for the rest of the front piece.
Sewing each piece on before cutting the next piece.
|Sorry! Did not realize how blurry this photo was til I uploaded it
Once all your pieces are sewn together. Iron your fabric
(Just in case you didn't know, ironing really old, delicate fabric, is a pretty scary thing. I had the iron on the lowest setting and slowly adjusted it. I was so afraid I was going to ruin it)
Now lay your pattern down on top of your fabric and trace along the entire pattern.
|Lets just pretend that this has been ironed and there is a pattern traced on it.
The back was a lot simpler. Decide what fabric you want for the back. Cut your fabric slightly larger than your pattern.
Lay your front and back pieces together. Make sure the right sides are facing each other. Then sew along your entire pattern.
:Note: I do not add seam allowance to most of my projects, I just cut the fabric slightly larger than my pattern. Sew right on the line I drew then trim away any excess fabric. This is what works for me.
Make sure you add a few extra stitches to the toe so that it does not come undone when you turn it inside out and iron.
Now you can trim around your stocking cutting away any excess fabric. If you added a seam allowance in the first place this step may not be necessary.
Now onto the lining.
Trace your pattern onto your fabric but stop before you get to the toe part.
Her is a photo to show you what I mean.
I know you can barely see my drawing but I hope you get the point.
You don't want candy and toys getting lost in the toe.
Cut another piece of fabric the same size and placing wrong sides together. Sew around your pattern.
Cut away any excess fabric.
Once I had this complete I placed the lining into the stocking placed it over the edge of counter to admire my progress.
I was not happy.
I took the lining out stuffed the toe then replaced the lining.
Much Better!
Now onto the cuff.
Measure the top of your stocking, double it, then add an inch for seam allowance.
Cut a strip of fabric this length and about 7 inches wide.
(7 inches worked for my pattern. Use a width that you think will work for yours.)
Now cut and sew a bunch of 7 inch strips of fabric together until you get a length equal to your previous piece.
For example.
My stocking measured 9 1/4 inches.
Double that to 18 1/2
then add an inch to 19 1/2
I decide to make mine easy and rounded up to 20
This meant I could use 10, 2 inch (2 and a half after adding seam allowance) strips to equal 20 inches.
If you are slightly off on the measurements it doesn't matter since the seams will be coming together on the back of the stocking so no one will see it anyways.
To make the points draw two straight lines across the length of the fabric then connect them with a zig-zag pattern, placing the bottom points in the center of each strip and the top points along the seams of the strips.
Be sure to stop about a 1/4 inch from the ends to allow for seam allowance.
Sew along your zig-zag pattern (double stitching around the corners). Trim off your excess fabric and turn inside out. Iron.
Now fold in half, right sides together, and sew to desired length (when folded it should be equal to the width of the top of your stocking.)
Sorry, due to technical difficulties a few photos got deleted from my camera.
Place the about 1 half inch of the raw edge of your cuff inside your stocking between the outer layer and liner. Make sure that your seam is in the back. Pin in place.
Cut a piece of ribbon and fold in half (this will be used to hang your stocking).
Place ribbon between your cuff and liner at the seam of the liner.
Sorry, still no photos. Hope these help
|Cuff tucked into stocking
|Ribbon sewn between cuff and liner.
Sew around entire cuff, double stitching over the ribbon.
Flip your cuff over and voila...

Stayed here three nights while we visited Holland, Zeeland and Lake Michigan. Our site was a double wide pull thru at the back of the park and we shared hook ups. Site was fairly level. Due to the season we had plenty of privacy. Lots of room to exercise our Jack Russells. The laundry room is small but machines were in good working order. $2 for large capacity washer. A large number of permanent residents, but sites were fairly neat. We would definitely return for a longer stay. - spikedog

Seems pretty expensive for the price. The lower rating reflects the bag of garbage I had to clean out of the half full firepit and the not very friendly young woman who checked me in barefoot. Our site was pretty clean otherwise and the park was clean enough except for a few annual sites that looked like a garage sale in a dump. It it well located in a poplar area. - wendie T

Dutch Treat is a pretty basic campground but offered what we needed while we were in the area for a softball tournament. If you are there for any of the many softball tournaments in the area this campground is located with 15 minutes of the 5 different complexes that are used. Owners were very friendly - let us do a late checkout for only $5. Bathrooms were older but kept clean. Nice pool. We were camping with another family and the sites we were at were set up so that you pulled in in different directions so your doors faced each other. Not sure I would like that if I wasn't camping with the people on the other site though. Overall nice campground and we would stay there again. - Luv To Camp

Green Mountain Power fined more over Lowell WindThe Associated Press | February 07,2013LOWELL — Vermont utility regulators have fined Green Mountain Power $30,000 stemming from five violations in its permit to ship turbine parts to an industrial wind-power project last year.
The utility had reached a settlement that included a $7,500 fine over the violations with the state Department of Public Service. Regulators on the Vermont Public Service Board accepted the settlement, but disagreed with the amount.
Board members said a higher penalty is warranted for violating the transportation plan, the Caledonian-Record reports.
The investigation into alleged violations began during Green Mountain Power's shipments across Vermont of parts to the Lowell wind project.
The board said the utility acknowledges that the proceeding reiterated the importance of flawless compliance.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Many of Americas young adults appear to be in no hurry to move out of their old...

What are you asking? If your question is which one to use the answer is both. The TW-5 is 1/4" drive and the TW-6 is 3/8 drive.
Get one or the other and then get a reducer or expander thingey from Sears/Craftsman.
Falling is learning...[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]...learn to not fall in a box.
Any good American will watch THIS -and- WHERE WAS MY BIKE MADE?
They measure torque in completely different ranges so you want to get the one you specifically need. For most people, I think that means the low torque model.
^ I did not notice that, but you are right.
Falling is learning...[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]...learn to not fall in a box.
Any good American will watch THIS -and- WHERE WAS MY BIKE MADE?
Just a reminder about torque wrenches. Industry standard is to not use any setting below 20% of full scale because the accuracy of the tool goes out the window below 20%. So the usable range of 10-60 wrench is more like 12-60. If you're going to use a setting below 20% of full scale, you might as well not buy a torque wrench at all. Keep this in mind when looking at poor quality torque wrenches that have a scale of say 10-1000. If you think you are going to make an accurate torque at say 50 with this wrench then save your money ... it's usable range is 200-1000.
Determine the value you need to torque to and then use a torque wrench appropriate for the value.
Actually, a usefull heads up about a product that is going to be released in February. Thanks Soil Sampler.
A review is useful. A link to a product is spam.
Woo a torque wrench. Nobody ever thought of that before.
Park Torque wrenches up till now have been beam type. This is their first foray into preset style clickers.
fair enough, but hardly a new idea. I will concede if you're a big park fan and you didn't happen to notice it on the newsletter
The TW-5 runs from 2 to 11 foot/lbs. Not real useful on a steel or aluminum framed bike. If you're not working on CF, get the TW-6. bk
I don't know what the original poster was after but I have had a question about these two wrenches for awhile. I think I need a torque wrench and I am a decent fan of Park Tools, can I get away with just one of these? And if so, which one? I will mostly be using this for home wrenching on steel frames with mid-range components. From the post above it sounds like the TW-6 is advisable.
Take a look at the SNAP-ON website. Look up your basic "clicker" torque wrench.
Use QD1R200 model number as an example.
Note that it has been certified to ANSI B107.14M-1994 and it's specs are " ... accurate to ±4% clockwise and ±6% counterclockwise from 20% of full scale to full scale."
They will not guarantee any accuracy rating below 20%. Why?? Because SNAP-ON wants to sell lots and lots of torque wrenches ... especially to the government and government contractors. In order to do this, they must guarantee there wrenches to the same spec the "industry" must meet (ANSI B107.14M-1994).
Is this overkill for torques performed on bicycles. Probably so. But ask yourself why you want to use a torque wrench on bicycles (or anything else for that matter). To apply the correct amount of torque.
Without knowing the accuracy of the tool at a specific setting, how do you know you are meeting the torque specs for the bicycle. If that's the case, why use a torque wrench at all.
I'm not saying not to use a torque wrench ... I'm saying don't "blindly" use a torque wrench. The advertised range of the wrench is not the only numbers you need to consider.

Volgende >>
Last week has been a very busy one - our days are usually filled with little adventures of some sort and sitting still doesn't happen very often.
About a week ago I went to the bay of Islands for a photo shoot while sailing my new Laura Dekker Minicat. We went out about 20nm on a 72 foot sailing vessel to a location where clear water rolled onto a white beach and then green hills took over the rolling. A beautifull stunning little bay! We spent some sunny hours there but at the end of that day the sailboat had to keep going to other locations - it was not returning home to where my car was. So I sailed the 20nm back to Opua. The wind was perfect. I had a great reach almost the whole way down with some bigger waves (well… big in Minicat terms) backed by 15-20knots of wind. I already capsized before I had even left the bay…
It took me about 3 hours to get back to the car. It was a fantastic sail in such delightful scenery. Lush green islands covered in fog with sun-rays breaking through to point out some beautiful details. Sometimes there is moments so beautiful that I just simply don't know what to do with it. Do I shout out of joy or jump up and down? Do I put it on camera to capture it all? Or should I just sit and enjoy it? Mostly I end up doing it all but it still doesn't seem enough. The natural beauty of this world is just to much to take in sometimes. How fortunate we are to be living in such a world! And what a shame that we are destroying it at a rate and with numbers we can scarcely calculate anymore..
The same evening my cousin arrived from Germany to live with us for 8 weeks. Luckily she is very easy going, because we had started to work on Guppy just before her arrival and are still eating in between tools, pieces of wood and dust. We are replacing the windows around the upper part of the deck as they were getting pretty old. So while taking out the windows we figured it was a good time to replace some of the interior wood around the windows. But I am very happy that we are doing it now as it makes Guppy even more beautiful, homey and hospitable. And well, as in almost all cases, you have to start taking things down and making a mess before it starts to become more beautiful.
A few days after my cousin, Chantal, had arrived I was asked to be an instructor at a high school camp that was orientated around sea food gathering. Now - many of my faithful supporters might remember: I don't like killing fish!!! I love eating it, but found out that breaking its neck, breaks something in me too. So luckily my main job was watching the kids in their kayaks and while snorkeling. Sounds easy, hm?! That's what I thought too, but I realized quickly how tiring it is to have such a responsibility and to stay focused for the whole day. Nevertheless it was great - I loved being out on the water and to see young girls learning to appreciate the outdoors and being part of a play with nature as our beautiful stage.
I am still alway pleasantly surprised by the kind of opportunities kids have in New Zealand schools. They do sailing lessons, camps, hikes - so many valuable experiences that I was only dreaming of in my class room years.
Here's a video of me sailing the minicat back
Back home! Our last two weeks in Europe were as always to short to do all the things that we wanted to and we never get to spent enough time with all of our friends and family.. I went back to Holland to spent another week with my dad and sister. One evening Kim proclaimed that she felt like skiing, so we decided to drive to a big indoor skiing hall in Bottrop, Germany, close to the border of Holland. Spot stayed with some friends and off we went. A good friend of dad joined us on our skiing adventure as well. But as we drove towards Bottrop looking out at the beautiful weather we didn't really feel like being inside a big hall. So we spontaneously decided to keep driving another 2 hours to go to Winterberg - which is a small skiing area about 5 hours away from dad's place. It hadn't been a snowy winter at all and even the entire drive to Winterberg we saw barely any snow. Only the last 10km some snow started to appear. We almost turned around as we just couldn't believe that there was enough snow to ski. But sure enough, when we were just about 5km out everything around us had turned white. Winterberg is located a bit west of Germany's centre and somehow geographically privileged in a way that there always happens to be snow before it falls anywhere else in the area. We spent one full day on the ski trails. I decided to join the rest of the group and try skiing instead of snowboarding for the first time in 12 years - and it's not as easy as it looks! But at the end of the day - after tumbling down a few times and going straight into the woods instead of turning - I did pretty well. We all came back home without any broken bones - It was a great day ;)
From Holland I flew to Stockholm for a presentation at the boat fair. There were various sailors presenting their story but I had a hard time following, as it was all in Swedish.. Luckily I was allowed to give my talk in English - I don't think the audience would've understood my swedish very well :) I loved Stockholm, although I had hoped for some snow. But even so far up north was not a single snow flake to be found. Nevertheless it was very cold, which can be quite handy sometimes, like on the morning before the boat show when I went to visit a Hurley 700 for a radio podcast. The owner had forgotten the keys of the marina but - thanks to the cold, we could just walk over the ice towards the boat! Not handy for sailing though… It was lovely being on a Hurley 700 again. It had the typical Hurley smell and the layout was exactly the same as the first Hurley that I sailed on. It brought back a lot of good memories. And I realized how much I loved that boat. Although I did think "it seemed bigger at the time" after standing up straight and hitting my head on the ceiling…I used to be able to stand up straight in the cabin, but those days are over..
Last week we made the long journey home. I actually enjoy flying, but spending two days on a seat, breathing dry, re-circulated air is not my favorite… But saying that - there has to be things in life we don't like in order to appreciate other things more. Oh! and how I appreciated smelling the warm summer air, and the fresh breeze flowing past my skin. It is lovely being home again! But soon after we came back it started pouring with rain for two days straight. I was afraid that we had missed the summer completely! The rain was accompanied by big wind gusts making Guppy sway from side to side between her poles in the marina. Like a wild horse that wants to run and jump but it is tied up...
Just before the big winds came my new Minicat, the Laura Dekker version arrived and I had a chance to try it out. This 420 version is perfect to sail with two people. I managed to convince Daniel that it would be fun - so off we went. There was a good breeze and we were flying from shore to shore. I was having a great time! Daniel a little less, considering the high speeds we where at, that could easily crash us when making a wrong move… although he did agree that it was fun in the end when we were safely back home. I'm afraid it might have to do something with my sailing style?! The 420 is definitely faster than the 310 version! We gave it a good test run in strong winds and bouncing over waves, But I want to go out to do some more 'test' sailing soon ;)
For now we are enjoying the calm after the storm with one beautiful sunny day after the other. There is things to do on Guppy (as always) and we will be working on her, while trying to figure out where life will lead us next :)
I just came across this lovely poem again written by John Masefield. A woman read it to me last year before the start of a presentation and I thought it was very beautiful.
Sea Fever
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.
Josefien was released from the hospital and we all drove back together. Much rest and sleep were ahead for her, but quiet the opposite was awaiting us. Daniel and I had decided to help my dad for a while with building the masts for his boat. We've been here for nearly a month now. The aluminum pipes that were laying in the hall when we got here have slowly transformed into a mast. I have always loved to see these kind of things grow. Every time I am amazed at how much humans are capable of making just by going step by step, day by day. I loved to see dad's boat growing out of a pile of wood - and later the walls that made rooms, then the interior and now slowly the masts. It's a dream that is coming true - slowly but surely. And I feel very happy to have been and still be a part of it. It's been so much fun working with dad again for a longer time. Thinking about plans to make things work and dreaming about sailing this boat. We've had some small breaks from working, in which we went to Sliedrecht with dad's boat to tow back a heavy tug that had a broken engine. We started heading to Sliedrecht just after sunrise, but we never saw anything of the sun.. the clouds were creeping around us while I was standing on the bow peeking through the thick mist - trying to find the next buoy. The water was rustling quietly at the bow as the boat was gliding through the water. Without any radar or chart plotter it was a real challenge to find our way across the Grevelingen towards the locks. Once we were at the locks we decided it would be too dangerous to keep going in this thick mist without any good navigational equipment. So we called a friend who has a maritime navigation program on his tablet and asked if we could borrow it for a few days. That made live a bit easier. But we had lost a lot of time by going through the fog that slowly, so that we had to keep going full speed to get to Sliedrecht before dark. The "Havorn" doesn't have any navigation lights yet - they have to be mounted on the mast and in the rigging which is still in the making. So getting there before dark was a necessity. We were doing well for the rest of the day, steaming along at almost 10 knots, even overtaking some of the inland freighters that were steaming along the rivers. With only one more hour to go we were hopeful to make it, when a police boat pulled up along side suddenly and made signs that they want to come aboard. We had a little chat and they checked our papers. When we asked them for the reason for their visit, they said that we weren't in their system. Otherwise all was fine and we could keep going. That had slowed us down a lot and sunset had already started. We hit the gas again to make up for the delay and had still some hope left, but only 10minutes later that hope was challenged again - by the port control this time. We told them that the police had just been onboard, but since I didn't know the name of the police vessel they couldn't do anything with that information. Again we had to slow down and explain where we were going (without them coming aboard). In the end they decided to stay next to us to serve as navigational lights, because darkness was becoming an issue by that time. Half an hour later we finally got to Sliedrecht. After mooring the Havorn the port control left us in peace.
The next morning was clear, freezing - and early, as there was work to do. We had to tie the tug next to the Havorn - and what we thought would be an easy job to do, turned out more challenging as we found the ropes frozen. Stiff like steelwire. After one our of fighting we had the tug next to the Havorn and the journey began. The sun even accompanied us for most of the day on our homeward trip. Towing the tug went well and we also had some good laughs when going through the locks. The "Bruinvis" (the tug boat) always got called on the VHF before they tried calling the Havorn. Guess it's a strange picture to see a tug boat being towed. Although it was rather obvious that nobody was aboard the Bruinvis and it couldn't have towed us the way it was positioned on our beam - the ghost skipper of the Bruinvis got the first calls! :D Again we tried to push on hard to get home before dark and even managed to squeeze ourselves into a lock with some other freighters. Sadly for the freighter behind us it had to wait for the next turn. He wasn't to pleased with this, and made that clear on the VHF. "They should have gone through the smaller yacht locks" he said. I explained to the lock operator that we were to deep and also to wide for these locks and that there was no other way for us than to go through the commercial shipping locks - which kindled the next discussion… "How could a boat from 65ft possibly be 3.40m deep?" Nobody seemed to understand and they came to the conclusion that only 3000ton freighters would have such a depth. After listening to that whole discussion via the locks' VHF channel, I decided to tell them about sailboats… That sailboats need this depth, and that it was very well possible for a 65footer to be 3.40m deep. All we heard for the next 10minutes was complete silence. The freighter behind us had to wait and we could go through, which was really necessary because we were still racing the sun at 7,5 knots now. The tug boat and Havorn both got home safely!
A cold but very nice trip over the rivers and through the locks. I loved seeing Daniel's face every time he saw a bridge that opened in yet another fantastic manner. Some went sideways, some up, or rotated. And I started to realize that so many bridges and locks are very unusual outside of Holland.
The following morning was an early one yet again, no sailing anywhere this time though. We were on our way to the Dusseldorf boat show. I have been working with Minicat on a new boat. Early on in my trip I got a Minicat 310 onboard. This is an amazing small inflatable catamaran. This way I could fold it easily into two bags and store it on my boat for a crossing and do some sporty sailing when I was at anchor. Over the years of sailing with the 310 version I gave Minicat some feedback and we decided to make a Laura Dekker edition. It is based on their standard 420 edition. But it has many upgrades. The boat is also stronger - because it will have to stand the way of sailing that I like! …with lots of wind and rough conditions ;)
The first boat has been build and was standing on the Dusseldorf boat show. I was very exited to see it in real live of course. It looked great with the many colors in the sails, carbon rudder, boom and bowsprit. Even with my name embroidered into the trampoline. Fancy :) I have enjoyed the Minicat 310 a lot over the years and really can't wait to sail this bigger, faster and stronger edition!
Last week has been a very busy one - our days are usually filled with little adventures of some sort and sitting still doesn't happen very often.

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Smoking ordinance solution made simple: (short and sweet, but I doubt you will print it): Let the Council pass whatever ordinance it wants on smoking. Any establishment can just go private. Not a public facility ... not covered by the ordinance.

The idle ended up being more quiet than I was hoping for which is why this is not a 5 star review. Kinda disappointing in that aspect. On my truck ('01 Dodge Ram 1500) it sounds really good between 1500 and 1900 rpm. No highway drone at all. Overall great purchase, should probably be cheaper in price though but the quality is there. Noticeable gains all across the board including a little kick in MPG area which is always a plus. I would recommend this product if you are able to find it on sale.

Lovely cosplay!
Best! <3
did you make your costume?
yeah, i made it myself.
can you tell me how you made it?
i used a corsett of mine to draw a pattern onto fabric for the upper part and altered it to fit the reference. for the skirt i used basically trapeze shaped fabric pieces since there is a hoopskirt under it. bot, the usual layer and the upper one are made of those pieces. the upper one is ruffeled though. I think if you find a pattern for Belle from Disney it could help you. I'm not a seamstress, so I can't really tell you everything in detail and in a way that it's understandable.
Beautiful shot, costume and cosplayer! :3
Perfect *-*
omg are you for real?????? you look like her holy phuck!!!!
love yhe outfit i want
There is absolutely no flaw in this cosplay. Amazing. I am hoping to cosplay as Madam Red for Anime Expo next year, and I will be lucky if I look at least half as amazing as you do!
hello excuse me could tell me how you made this lovely madame red cosplay because i want to make one and it would be great if could tell me alL the steps you did to makes this cosplay outfit. please do leave out a single detail about. Please wright back and if you could write it on a note. Thank you for your time
i made a pattern myself containing easy trapeze shapes fabric pieces. four for the underskirt, six for the upper skirt. the corset pattern was rebuild after drawing the important hem lines onto paper and then altered on the lower hem line. the pearls and roses where sewed on by hand. the hat was covered with the dress fabric by calculating the meassurements with maths from the geometric shapes of the base. the dress was sewn together and most time altered on a dressmaking modell with a hoopskirt under it until it everything was in place.
that's all to it.
that's all to it.
This is absolutley stunning madam red cosplay. Flawless. I adore it, and your Angelina Durless cosplay!! Also your Grell Sutcliff cosplay is wonderful.
You look exactly like Madame Red
Your dress is gorgeous and you are so charming. This is a beautiful cosplay : ).

You are a brilliant Madam Red. I always love seeing pics of this costume .
You look so pretty. I can definitely see this picture as a real Madame Red. This was a beautifully done cos-play, you truly look like her.
Omg... <3 Amazing, it's perfect!

In the quiet, affluent town of Forks, Washington, Bella Swan dedicates her life to unfurling the mystery behind the death of her best friend after her father is removed as county sheriff. But an unwanted distraction sets her on an unexpected course. A noir tale and an homage to Veronica Mars.
TW/MS Alice's POV. Canon "Where Jasper and I were halves of the same whole, Edward and I were the same half. We understood each other more than the family understood us."
10 years have passed since the events in Breaking Dawn. When a graphics designer finds work in the town of Forks, his fate becomes linked with the Cullens.
This story follows Alice and Jasper through the story arc of Breaking Dawn. It explores their relationship with each other, and with those they come in contact with. I hope for it to be funny, touching and a realistic portrayal of what their interactions are like. There will be lemons and adult content!
Thanks to Readergoof for the awesome banner!
"Have you ever had that intense physical attraction to someone you just met? Not even met, just seen? I have." AU. AH.
Fifty years after the birth of Renesmee, the Cullens are blissfully going through life, completely unaware of what is in store for their future.
But how could the discovery of Renesmee not lead the Volturi to some scientific research of their own?
Bella has never had luck at finding friends, and now that she has exiled herself to one of the most prestigious schools in the country, it doesn't look like that luck is going to change. But what happens when Bella, with some help from the incredibly hot new guy, decides to finally stop being Miss Invisible? Canon Pairings
Edward is intelligent and relatively condescending to anyone that isn't part of his inner circle.
Enter Bella, beautiful, also intelligent, and up for any challenge Edward throws her way.
Can he let go of his past and accept her... his equal? And, more importantly... can she?
Bella returns to the town where she was born to seek out her biological father. When the police take siege on the building next door, she's trapped inside her new home and finds more than she expects from five of the strangest people she's ever met.
Banner thanks to Blackdogs!
Set in the west, around the end of the 19th century. Alice is about to get married, when her family friend, Jasper, who works as a cattle header comes for a visit. AH/AU Written for the "Love of Jasper" Contest. Rated M for sweet tea and Lemonade. One Shot.
Twilighted Beta: qjmom
Edward and Jasper are best friends and the sexiest guys at Forks High. They get what and who they want whenever they want it. When clumsy Bella arrives at Forks High and brings something new to the table, Edward and Jasper find they must work together to get what they desire. Some OOC, especially for some characters, but not so much for others. Rated NC-17 for very mature themes and can we say lemons?! later. Takes place during the same time as Twilight.
Collaboration between VoluptuousVamp and Puppymama0909.
Thanks to readergoof for the amazing banner.
Wallflower Bella Swan and best friend Jasper Whitlock are happy with the way things are. But what happens when tragedy strikes and lines are blurred? Can friends become lovers without repercussions ?
Submission for 'The Love of Jasper Contest"
Alice and Jasper are in the wilds of Alaska, running a hunting lodge.

Sweet and Lemony! AH/AU
For as long as she could remember James had always been an important part of her life. They'd met in grade school and quickly became the best of friends. In junior high they started dating and Bella thought they would be together forever.James' life is turned upside down and the next thing Bella knows she's being forced to leave her home and her mother in an attempt to get away from the last person she'd ever thought she'd run from.She escapes to Forks, WA, a small town on the Olympic peninsula where her father is the chief of police. As the danger draws nearer Chief Swan realizes that he alone may not be able to keep his only daughter safe. So he turns to an unlikely place for help. What happens when he puts his precious only child in the protection of predators?
The year was 1987 and all the girls were crazy for rock star Jasper Hale. Bella Swan was an upcoming artist with tricks up her sleeve. Using her body and wit she traps Mr. Hale at one of his concerts, giving him a night to remember. One Shot! Lemons!

Because of him she understands emotions and because of her he knows joy. Alice and Jasper, one-shot.
This is a AU-crossover story between Twilight and L. J. Smith's The Night World. The story is set at the same time as Twilight and loosely follows the books.
Bella is a vampire, she has been one all her life. She moves to Forks to avoid unwanted family members. In Forks she meets the Cullen Family. This family claim to be vampires, but they are unlike any of the vampires that Bella has ever seen. Each species of vampire has remained hidden from the other for centuries. Will the fates conspire against our favourite Twilight characters or will love conquer all?

Bella Swan and Jessica Stanley have switched bodies. How will Edward handle the temptation?

Thanks to my betas!
An unusual storm descends upon Forks, and Bella and Edward are caught in the middle. When the dust settles, nothing is the same …
Takes place post-Eclipse, then becomes a little AU.
It has been decades since Bella Swan joined her husband, Edward Cullen, and his family, in the immortal world. Her daughter Renesmee is married happily to her best friend and werewolf, Jacob Black, back in Forks. Up to now, Bella has built up a happy life with her vampires and werewolves. But when an entirely different kind of creature enters the picture, Bella finds her little utopia being ripped to shreds. She does whatever it takes to find herself, win Edward back, and piece back together her destroyed utopia.
Rated for Semi-Implied sex scenes *bites lip* and almost-bad-but-a-little-more-than-mild violence. Oh yeah, and language. =)
Bella is a 20 year old single mother. She left her boyfriend after he repeatedly abused her, to move in with her dad, Charlie and his girlfriend, Sue. With the help of her dad and the support of Alice and Rosalie, Bella gets back her feet by working at the local grocery store. Her life takes another spin when she drops a bottle of orange juice after seeing Edward Cullen for the first time. An amazing friendship, and possible romance starts. But will Edward stay, or duck and run when he notices her stomach starting to grow?
A family is torn apart by the death of a beloved member. Victoria came back for Bella but killed another before she was destroyed. No one can deal with the grief of loss and they suddenly find themselves all on very different paths, but all essentially broken with no light to guide them.
Can a chance encounter eight months later bring this family back together? Can they heal? Can they let the one they lost go and be at peace? Can they learn to act on hope?
**Companion story to Acting on Faith by Oceanwaters2006**
**Also, props to Oceanwaters2006 for the Banner!!!**
**Warning - Dark Themes**
In order to avoid growing suspicions stemming from their social isolation, Edward, Bella, and Alice decide to join in the senior class trip. Suspicions, however, prove to be the least of their worries when things take a turn for the worse.
"The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection." Bella unravels the mystery that is Edward Cullen. A world of art, lies, and a white hat. Edward/Bella. AU.
Workaholic and Vegas strip club owner, Isabella Swan gets hot and bothered after interviewing a new stripper. How can she release the strain on her libido?

This is a great RV park for those eligible to use it! 70' long, level gravel sites are nicely spaced and easy in/out. Long term sites & a few around the edges are easy back-ins while the rest are pull thru. Utilities worked fine. We arrived at the end of Oct and the park was less than half full. A week later in early Nov, we saw a lot of incoming RVs but they still had plenty of short & long term sites available. Park wifi was useless. There's no cable TV either but most sites are satellite friendly. ATT had a very strong signal while Verizon was weak at barely 1-2 bars. They give you a nice welcome package for first time visitors. Watch for burrs if you walk your dog in the sparse green areas. - Danno
Oct 2015 - $20.00
This was a great campground. The area was immaculate. We watched a lady walk along the road hand sweeping gravel back onto sites. There was a laundry with 7 working washers and 8 working dryers for a dollar apiece. Campers get a large welcome packet when they check in to include doggie bags for your pet. WiFi worked very well. This was a great stay and we would definitely come here again. - Melodycthomas
Mar 2015 - $20.00
As other reviewers have said, it's concrete and gravel but it's the desert. Spaces are close but well arranged and have easy access. Nicely landscaped and beautiful views of the mountains. Great people in office. Very good dog walk area. WiFi was slow but worked better than we were told it would. Will definitely stay again when in the area. - all4pets

In Toward One Oregon, the authors make a valiant effort to demonstrate that rural and urban Oregon remain highly interdependent, share many common values, and should be cheering on each other's economic successes.
As self-evident as much of their argument is, it is difficult to get Oregonians to feel this interdependence.
Having been a Portland-based political journalist for nearly three decades, I am struck by how much attitudes about the state have changed. Portlanders were once much more apt, it seems to me, to describe themselves as Oregonians first and foremost. They raved about the beauty of the state and described Portland in humbler tones, as that oh-socomfortable place that was too small to really be a big city like Seattle or San Francisco, but with more amenities than your typical small town.
Now, Portland is indisputably a true city, in fact one with a path-breaking urbanism that is as celebrated in the national media as any other West Coast city. Portlanders still rave about the beauty of the state, but if they are talking about a part of the state outside their usual playgrounds on Mount Hood or the northern Oregon coast (or the football stadiums in Eugene and Corvallis), they sound more like tourists in an exotic place.
Oregonians outside Portland's immediate orbit have certainly picked up on a sense of dismissal, just as a spouse can tell when his or her partner says all the right things but no longer shows much passion. Voters in the regions once most dependent on the timber industry in particular are likely to complain that Portlanders (and by that term, I mean those in the metropolitan area) do not seem to care that they have struggled economically for decades.
In fact, the Portland area's success is no longer as dependent on the surrounding region and its natural-resources sectors. As one chapter by David Holland, Paul Lewin, Bruce Sorte, and Bruce Weber points out, the Portland metropolitan area grew much faster than its surrounding rural trade area between 1982 and 2006, and it has become a net exporter to the rest of the world. In short, it is increasingly easy for the average Portlander to feel his or her livelihood is not affected by the economic health of, say, Roseburg. …

Favorite one I've seen lately, "Performance Tested". I guess that rules out those parts that they designed, manufactured and then shipped out with the blind faith that they would work. "Testing, we don't need no stinking testing"
