text: Headquartered on the Baleraic island of Majorca in the Mediterranean Sea, Majorica is the world's foremost producer of man-made organic pearls. In fact, "majorica" has become the official word for Majorica's precious stones of the sea, which more closely resemble true pearls than other non-natural types on the market. Founded in 1890 by innovative German entrepreneur Eduardo Hugo Heusch, Majorica crafts its pearls from glass beads coated in layers of organic, iridescent pearl lacquer. The company's exquisite pearl bracelets, earrings, necklaces and other jewelry offer all the luster and luminescence of pearls made by mollusks, but with a perfect roundness and uniformity that not even natural pearls can match.

I want you to imagine I'm former President Richard Nixon telling you something I'm desperately hoping you'll believe: I am not a coffee drinker.
So, I know that's not a huge confession – it pales in comparison to Nixon telling the press that he was innocent of any wrongdoing in the Watergate incident – but there aren't too many of us out there.
I don't really like the bitter taste and I'm not dedicated enough to being an adult that I'm willing to acquire a taste for coffee. When I go out for a hot beverage, nine times out of ten it's a hot chocolate. Even that is rare for me. My body reacts poorly to caffeine so I do my best to avoid it as much as possible.
This does make for an occasional long day at the office. It is a regular occurrence that at about 1 or 2 p.m. I'm in desperate need of a nap.
There is actually plenty of biological support for humans needing an early afternoon nap. In Spain and other warm temperature countries, the siesta – as it's known – is a normal mid-afternoon activity.
This is what Wikipedia had to say about the event: The homeostatic pressure to sleep starts growing upon awakening. The circadian signal for wakefulness starts building in the (late) afternoon. As Harvard professor of sleep medicine Charles A. Czeisler notes, "The circadian system is set up in a beautiful way to override the homeostatic drive for sleep."
In between this homeostatic and wakeful period is a lull where many people get tired and would benefit from a nap. If you're like me that time is 1 or 2 p.m.
I usually reserve my more mindless tasks for this period of the day, but I am petitioning for a couch in the back room, where the Plaindealer hides its writers. It would be a great place for those people who make it into the office to sit while I interview them. Ok, I might be stretching a bit – but you get the point.
If you're tired in the mid-afternoon, there is no need to be ashamed of yourself. You are not alone and it is perfectly normal. A lot of us fight the drowsies with some caffeine, but since that isn't an option for me I'll just fight through the afternoon lull with yawns and head scratching until the day sleeping under my desk in the middle of the day isn't considered 'strange'.

Emma Stone Takes on Jimmy Fallon In Epic Lip Sync Battle
Move over, Paul Rudd. There is a new lip sync champion in town.
Actress Emma Stone stopped by Jimmy Fallon's "The Tonight Show" on Monday, and surprised everyone, including Fallon, with her fake-singing chops.
In what is sure to go down as one of the most epic lip sync battles, Fallon first challenged the 'Amazing Spider-Man 2′ star with his performance of Iggy Azalea's "Fancy." Stone followed with an impressive portrayal of Blues Traveler's "Hook."
Fallon then fought back with a strong performance of Styx's "Mr. Roboto," but it was Stone's rendition of "All I Do Is Win" by DJ Khaled that stole the show.
"That was the best one that has ever been done the show," Fallon declared.
Now, we want to know: When can we expect a Stone-Rudd matchup?

Vacherie woman dies after crash
Published: Monday, July 29, 2013 at 5:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 29, 2013 at 5:53 p.m.
A 70-year-old Vacherie woman died today after she was in a two-vehicle crash on La. 20 in St. James Parish.
Virgia Folse died at East St. James Hospital from her injuries.
Shortly before 11:30 a.m., Folse failed to yield as she exited a parking lot in a 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier and attempted to make a left turn onto La. 20, police said. She was struck broadside by a 2008 Ford F-250 driven by Kirk Melancon, 52, of Vacherie.
Melancon received minor injuries in the crash and was transported to Thibodaux Regional Medical Center. Both drivers were wearing seat belts.
Troopers said alcohol is not suspected to be a factor in the crash. Blood was taken from Melancon and the test results are pending at the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab. Routine toxicology tests are pending for Folse, and this crash remains under investigation.

Self-Healing is a networking concept behind many designs intended to avoid loss of signal when a router or other relay device is not available to do its job. This works to get the data to the destination, but does not repair or replace the out of service node. Eventually the broken device has to be repaired and returned to service. Repair of each communications node, large or small, will require a technician and probably a "truck roll". The more inaccessible the locations (those atop power poles or radio towers), the more costly the repair.
Fault-Tolerant is synonym for Redundant. A fault tolerant system has additional components intended to take over in the event of hardware failure. As more and more applications are developed that require 7 x 24 availability, more and more equipment is being purchased with redundant parts. In these cases -- high availability is being achieved with buying increasingly large band-aids mitigating system downtime, but without improving reliability. Any fault tolerant system failure requires repair or replacement or the system is no longer buffered for failure. If the equipment is located in a data center, the IT department is paying a hefty premium for maintenance services by the vendor on the order of 12% -15% of original cost each year. If the equipment is located in the field, the O&M department will be dispatching a truck.
Truck rolls are extremely costly. NARUC estimated for purposes of discussion that each truck roll costs a utility $275 without considering the cost of parts. The more redundant parts that fail -- the more costly the system. We all understand that having a spare tire in the trunk is great backup, but once the spare is in use one still has to replace the spare. We would strongly prefer not to have a flat. Everyone considering deployment of self-healing or redundant systems must take into account that these systems do not physically repair themselves and to take repair costs into consideration just as if there were no fault-tolerant parts.
Locating equipment that is suitably solid is a tremendous challenge at this time. There are no "Consumer Reports" to guide choices and no central clearinghouse (yet) for utilities to share information. There are efforts afoot to create these essential collaborations using private resources, but in the meantime utilities are on their own to make good decisions. The best advice we can offer at this time is for utilities to evaluate all their current equipment as to the current failure rate of the hardware, and then continue to make the same calculations for every product in test or deployment to compare them on the basis of hardware failure rate. Even very small scale deployments will yield useful results when tracked over time.
Utilities interested in a wider collaboration and standardized sharing of equipment experience should contact their appropriate trade organization (APPA, NRECA, EEI, and regional), Grid21 -- a new non-profit outgrowth of the Gridwise Alliance, or TekTrakker.
Consider utility companies can't easily buy highly reliable equipment and don't have luxuries like Consumer Reports to compare products because in essence their situation is far worse than consumers going shopping.
Firstly utility companies are not regular shoppers like consumers are. At any given time the total number of utility companies actively shopping are very limited. In other words the market for their equipment is very spotty and unpredictable. Therefore no one is very interested in researching the products for the market like any sort of Consumer Reports.
Secondly, utility companies' resources for buying field electronics equipment must either come from rate base income or from government handouts. Both of these sources tend to be unpredictable at best, because of heavy regulation on rate increases, and politics set within the government of the day.
Thirdly, utility companies are usually worse than consumers shopping for field electronics because they tend to want the most for the least cost - i.e. they count every penny when buying from vendors. Hence they are not prepared to pay for highly reliability designed into field electronics (the way the military are routinely accustomed to do) because this would add unpalatable extra costs to them.
Good examples are smart meters in AMI systems. These meters are being designed to operate with a field life expectancy of 10 years or less, and can often have an initial failure rate of several percent on initial deployment. But this is not too surprising when they are being sold to utility companies for well under $100, where manufacturers must make them at a cost of less than half of that to make a profit.
So utilities better be prepared to make lots of truck rolls down the road if they want to get seriously into smart grid systems, or they alternatively must persuade governments to enable them the resources to pay a lot more for their field electronics equipment.
Outages were rare and brief. NW of Chicago in winter an outage would have been serious as during that era we had much winter weather below zero F and few furnaces worked without electricity. (Our radio ran on DC.) Only once do I remember that the gas oven was turned on to heat the house, sort of an adventure, with candles, for a little kid.
If Bobs comment is cogent why are we even using electronics at utilities, and do real live engineers of today actually want to have such as a Consumers Reports for industrial equipment? Embarrassing.
So you can understand I am a bit puzzled about learning failing equipment has now become a problem. Seems it wasnt 70-80 years ago.
To post s link, as follows but replace {LCaret} with a left angle bracket, {RCaret} with the right angle bracket.

Don: Times change, eh?
I sympathize with the utility industry, and with yourself. But Len is absolutely right: "Times change, eh?" We're using electronics because smart grid is viewed as the best and only way to deal with the problems the grid is facing today, and in future.
So unless you can help the utility industry find a big pot of gold, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for the grid going back to its past, or for smart grid electronics to become much more reliable.
BTW, if Len's IMEUC market proposals were implemented, a key feature is the ownership of all the smart meters would transfer from the local distribution utility company to its customers. Under this scenario customers could spend their own money on upgrading their meter hardware and software to whatever products appear on the CONSUMER markets. Unlike the resources of utility companies, there would be no limits to what consumers could spend on them.
IMEUC would effectively open the door to much more robust mass commercialization of smart meters and other smart grid components and systems. Many of the more mainstream high-tech companies would jump into it because the economic activity could / would become comparable to what routinely happens today with personal computers, smart phones, and gaming products. In essence this would happen because other smart grid systems would piggyback on the need for much greater smart meter functionality than the basic functions the utilities are buying in them today.
(Remember the smart meter is not only a metering device for energy billing, but also a communications portal into the grid from the customer, the customers personal computer or smart phone, smart loads like EV recharging and smart appliances, and of course small-scale distributed local generators like rooftop solar etc. etc. etc.)
As it stands today most large mainstream high-tech companies stay out of the game of smart grid because the market for its devices and products is too spotty, unpredictable, and evolves at a snails pace when the utility companies are its only customers.
Cheers Don! Stock up on your candles.
A few nuances of utility purchasing to consider. Utilities will be buying a lot more "smart" equipment a lot more frequently than they realize. The "smart" equipment being purchased today is going to be off the market and replaced by a new model in just a few months. (The supply chain for electronics moves very quickly through the production lines - and yes - most production is in China)
The monolithic purchase and support model of the past is not going to work for smart products. Utilities will be buying replacements continuously and the support model is going to change as a result. I predict utilities will have to adopt support and rolling refresh programs that will closely resemble the desktop and laptop support model in business. The cost to roll a truck to repair a meter is the same as swapping a meter. An upgraded model is almost certainly going to be the replacement of choice.
Utilities do not need to remain helpless when it comes to smart products and poor reliability. There is more than enough experience of products already in the field that if shared, would immediately inform industry as to what is possible when it comes to reliability. I created the framework for execution this type of collaboration when I wrote TekTrakker - and after just a few months of data from multiple sources it was very clear that there is a huge spread of quality within smart products packaged as computers. I fully expect that there will be just as much variety with smart meters as there are with desktops.
With comparisons comes competition. Vendors will be anxious to market products with relatively higher reliability than their competitors. The race to improve products for reliability will happen - all that is missing is the comparison.
As to IMEUC - Consumer Reports type reporting would greatly inform this market as well.
ilitThe production of a viable database of smart hardware failure rates has to be far more dynamic and broad than could be provided through a publication - not to mention that the market
There are also many other design measures that could be taken to improve reliability too - like adding redundancy to circuits, and coating their circuit boards with an environmental seal known as conformal coating or complete encapsulation known as potting. The latter greatly enhances the field lifetime when circuit boards are exposed to harsh outdoor conditions over many years. Redundancy in circuit design, and coating and sometimes potting are routinely done for electronics in airplanes and trains and some automotive modules that go under the hood. But to save a few dollars on cost I'll bet many of the utility field equipment vendors are skipping this.
Capacitors are particularly short-lived. If they don't get fried by voltage surges, they will dry out and fail. One can over-spec capacitors to get additional life - but the price point of the product will increase.
As to redundancy - it helps keep systems up and running but does not prevent the truck roll for the repair. The best equipment is always the equipment that is the most reliable, even when buffered by redundancy.
For example, Dell produced nearly 12 million desktops for business use that had a capacitor leak problem that caused fires and data loss for thousands of units. They lost a couple of hundred million dollars in a legal settlement for having ignored the problem. The same type of problem could be buried in millions of smart meters and one would not know if that were "normal" or not without a baseline and continuous measurement.
Hoping, wishing, assuming that equipment will be suitably reliable for decades in the field is not a management strategy. Vendors, regulators, planners and financial partners are all holding back on implementations because of uncertainty over useful life and suitability. Removing the doubt, even if "overblown" would do much to accelerate adoption and innovation in deployments.
Measurement of reliability, and sharing of that information systematically is the best hope for the industry to grapple with the explosion of new equipment. This isn't my mantra exclusively - NETL/DOE is making a presentation at GridWeek in a few days on the topic of Performance Feedback Programs as a major element of smart grid implementation.
Precisely Gay, exactly one of my points. Manufacturers who design the equipment intentionally avoid over-specifying components to save every penny they can on cost, due to price pressures from their customers the utility companies.
"Removing the doubt, even if "overblown" would do much to accelerate adoption and innovation in deployments."
Here in lies part of the problem with utility companies - if there is any doubt in their minds about reliability, they sit on the fence avoiding buying anything, sometimes for many years. They want to be able to buy all their field equipment with bulletproof reliability so they can forget about repairs AND forget about buying anything again for many years.
This situation often prevents new innovative technologies from being tested in large numbers in real-life field conditions and exposing any unforeseen reliability problems. More importantly it prevents the CONTINUOUS EVOLUTION of new technologies where manufacturers are allowed to continuously improve on them with regular new product design releases. Hence smart grid technology evolves at a snails pace relative to most other industries.
It looks to me like utility executives are simply too gutless to take any risks at all. They should try running a maintenance department in a large private industry, where your job's on the line every morning if the plant doesn't start up, but still inovation is demanded / required else the plant will go obsolete in less time than a utility field trial takes.
Wow !! I couldn't have said this any better myself Len. Right On !!
The second sentence is brutally true in many private industries. The huge difference in private industry is that companies usually have relentless competition to worry about, and if you dont compete with them, your job often ends up going offshore somewhere. Distribution utility companies don't have ANY competition, as we all know too well, and typically won't move quickly on deploying anything new unless forced to do so by government mandates.
Seems to me, the government is once again the enemy of "good enough" with increased costs being created for the peculiar notion that utilities must have instant knowledge of the customer's power consumption. Of course some (including me) believe the smart meters are nothing more than a Trojan horse to allow utilities to make more money by gouging the customer with "time-of-day" rates, as aided and abetted by bureaucrats attempting to force the customer to comply with their social engineering efforts to curb CO2 emissions.
Agreed the past system of metering using the reliable electromechanical meters and flat billing rates were good enough as long as there was sufficient peak demand generation capacities out there, and as long as there was money around to keep building generation to keep pace with demand growth. But we don't have these luxuries anymore, and recognizing this, our policymakers asked our utility industry how best to cope with this situation. Their answer was to charge higher rates during peak demand hours and thereby encourage customers to curtail demand during those times, in essence Time-Of-Use (TOU) billing.
To implement TOU billing however the utilities needed interval metering that smart meters are primarily designed for. Interval metering basically logs your energy consumption in as fine as 15-minute intervals, although most utilities implementing it are content to use 60-minute (hourly) interval consumption data. This among other things allows them to set TOU rates that can change from one level to the next at the top of a clock hour.
As for instantaneous power demand in Watts, smart meters can report this at anytime on (software commanded) request. But utilities generally aren't interested in a residential customer's power demand, they are only interested in their large usage customers like heavy industrial or commercial businesses. So they are not likely to eavesdrop on your home's instantaneous power demand.
(It's the residential consumer that is typically more interested in having a power meter to show in real time what their instantaneous power demand is, and what their cumulative energy usage and cumulative energy bill is at any given time.)
I will grant you also that the use of Time-Of-Use billing makes it much more difficult for consumers to resolve their energy bills, and thus opens the door for governments and the utilities to raise TOU rates such that your overall energy bills are higher than they were before on flat billing rates. Then if any customer complains about higher bills, they can simply be told to load shift their energy consumption to use more at off-peak hours in order to lower their bills. This may not be so easy though for many customers, so yes it in effect can hit some customers in the pocketbook much harder than others.
Save your pennies Michael, you're going to need them.
Secondly, the communication networks in the AMI system can potentially provide real-time status monitoring data of many other grid assets, including the real-time data for the grid to control / handle many more intermittent generation sources like wind and solar down the road.
One would think if utility companies are expecting to use smart meters and AMI systems for enhancing grid reliability, they would be willing to pay much more money for them to ensure smart meters and their AMI networks are ultra-reliable. Since this is apparently not the case today, I suspect we will only see TOU billing and perhaps some outage management implemented, and not many other uses for them until our utilities are prepared to spend a lot more money on their equipment.

Hi all,
installed Qcad last night and so far I am liking what I see. At this point the trial add-ons are not necessary for me, so I would like
to remove them. Pressing the "x" button next to them pops up a message saying that the plu-in will be removed and to that I should restart Qcad.
However, when I restart the plugins are still running. I am using Qcad on Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit.
Thanks in advance.

Swimming, tubing, canoeing and Kayaking Saco River North Conway NH
The Saco river is just a short walk or drive from the Bartlett Inn near North Conway NH. If you want a refreshing day out and some adventure without going to Storyland then spend a day on the Saco River. There are several local swimming holes that prvide a variety of conditions for different strength swimmers. Big Rock swimming hole on River Street in Bartlett NH has a small sandy beach and calm water close in good for non swimmers and little kids to splash around. Halfway across teh river is the famous BIG ROCK. If you dare you can climb up the rock and jump in. There is a sweet spot in teh middle of the river that is typically 4-6 feet deep. Watch where the locals jump to get the location. Feet first for safety. After the rock the water moves more swiftly so stronger swimmers enjoy the challenge. If you bring a tube you can sit in teh tube from under the bridge and ride the current a couple hundred yards and then walk back. I recommend river shoes or sneakers as the bottom of the river is rocky and some places are hard to walk in bare feet. There are longer tubing trips from1-2 hours where guests can use Andes, Saco Bound Canoe and Kayak or Northern Extremes companies who will rent a tube, canoe or kayak and then drop you off and pick you up for a fee. If you have 2 cars and your own tubes you can spot one car at the end after dropping everyone off. Last season we had a great time dropping in on West side road and 3 hours later ended up at 1st bridge in North Conway. There was a rope swing hooked to a tree branch over the river and we all took turns doing a Tarzan swing into the river. It was a blast! The river can be chilly so if you plan a long tubing trip make sure you have a dry bag with towels, food and water especially for the kids. Stay at the Bartlett Inn and we will help you find the best outing for your family forSwimming, tubing, canoeing and Kayaking Saco River North Conway NH

International Organizations
International organizations and multilateral financial institutions play important roles in advancing the status of women and girls worldwide. The United Nations and its agencies, such as the UN Development Program, UNICEF, WHO, UNFPA and others, have made strides in efforts to "mainstream" gender initiatives throughout their policies and programs. The UN General Assembly passed a resolution in September 2009 to unify the four main organizations for gender equality into one unified entity. The new agency will unite UNIFEM, the DESA Division for the Advancement of Women, the Office of the Special Advisor on Gender Issues, and INSTRAW under one roof. This move aims to strengthen international support for gender equality, reduce bureaucratic redundancies and inefficiencies as well as improve accountability a and oversight . There is also a call for increased participation by civil society in monitoring governments and international organizations to ensure that their respective programs are actually improving the lives of women and girls.

Local music stars add talents to church praise group
Published: Friday, March 1, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 28, 2013 at 5:07 p.m.
When Kenny Hogan began playing drums as a youth, he immediately felt as if he had a special gift.
Want to go?
What: Inside Out praise worship concert
When: 6 p.m. Sunday
Where: Westminster Presbyterian Church, 309 Fernwood Drive
Admission: Free
Info: 585-4186 or www.wpcspartanburg.org
"I realized right away that it was a God-given talent," Hogan said. "Everything came really easy to me with (drumming). It wasn't something I had to work on every day.
"And if you believe in a higher power, you know where it comes from."
Early on, Hogan used his talent to pursue his rock 'n' roll dreams, co-founding two of Spartanburg's most popular bands of the 1990s and 2000s, Albert Hill and Dezeray's Hammer.
But it wasn't until he got involved with a praise worship team at Westminster Presbyterian Church that he really felt contented.
"I feel like I'm getting to give back for something that was given to me by the big man upstairs," Hogan said.
"It's just an incredible feeling."
Hogan doesn't seek attention for his efforts with the faith-based musical ensemble that dubs itself Inside Out.
Instead, he prefers to think of himself as just one of many whose musical contributions aid the message given by Westminster associate pastor Steve Wise, who leads a contemporary service at 9:30 every Sunday morning.
"It's more about relationships and serving God than it is about the music," said Hogan, who co-engineered a new Inside Out CD, which contains renditions of contemporary Christian songs by such renowned artists as Third Day and Chris Tomlin.
Copies of the CD will be given away free at a special Inside Out concert to be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday at Westminster Presbyterian Church.
As the church's contemporary worship director, Gia Diamaduros assembled the group that also features Hogan's longtime band mate Aaron Whisnant, teenage singer-songwriter Jordan Jones and former Spartanburg mayor Bill Barnet's wife, Valerie.
Other Inside Out participants include Rosalind Walters, Linda Creasap, Chris Ebert, Gail Ebert, Josh Tennant, Gary McCraw, Kirk Johnston, Tommy Volianitis, Amy Moxley and Brandon Kimbrell.
"We are truly like a family," said Diamaduros, who sings in the group. "… With worship being a posture of our hearts and lives, our team has become more about relationships and ministering than the music. They are just so good (and) so gifted that God easily brings that part together."
Diamaduros said that Inside Out's CD, which was recorded at 2113 Production Studios in Boiling Springs, is a nonprofit venture to be used for evangelistic purposes only. It's "just a way to reach out with the message and love of Christ," she said.
It's also a gift to the Westminster Presbyterian congregation, who requested that the group make a recording and proceeded to raise more than $10,000 last summer to make it happen.
The group took the name Inside Out from a passage in Romans 12:1-2 about personal transformation.
"Those verses basically say to take your everyday life and offer it back to God as a sacrifice unto him," Diamaduros said. "And if you do this, he'll take your life and turn it inside out."
Valerie Barnet has been a member of Westminster Presbyterian for 23 years. Although the church still has a traditional service, she enjoys being a part of the contemporary one that started 6½ years ago.
"It's been such a blessing," Barnet said. "We are one big family of folks who love to sing and make music together."
Barnet said that Hogan and Whisnant deserve special mention for the work they put into recording and mixing the new CD.
"I know they don't want to be the Kenny and Aaron show, but you can't deny all that they've done," she said. "They put in countless hours putting this thing together so that we can spread the love of Christ and the knowledge of Christ through music to many, many people.
"I think what's special about them is that it's truly in their hearts. They love doing this, and they love working hard."
Hogan said he's thankful that Diamaduros invited him to join the praise worship team when she began putting it together in 2006.
"I grew up going to church with my parents, but obviously when Aaron and I were touring (with Albert Hill and Dezeray's Hammer), I wasn't going to church weekly," he said. "But when Gia asked if I'd be interested in doing a week every now and then, playing with the praise team, I said, 'If the opportunity's there, I'll be there every single week.'
"And, ever since, I've just been having so much fun."

2010 Chardonnay Proprietors' Reserve, Carneros
The Trinitas 2010 Proprietors' Reserve Chardonnay is from the Los Carneros appellation of the Napa Valley. The wine barrel fermented and aged in 40% new American oak, and 9% new Caucasian oak. The nose is toasty with hints of orange zest and vanilla. Secondary fermentation creates a mid-palate with rich flavors of creamy butter, while the medium toast barrels provide the caramel and butterscotch notes. The wine also exhibits notes of all spice, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Our Proprietors' Reserve Chardonnay integrates the richness of new oak with the bright characteristics of Carneros citrus.

Attorney General Kenneth Cuccinelli is warning Virginians about a scam involving medical alert devices for seniors.
Cuccinelli says callers pose as representatives of a medical alert company claiming to need additional information, such as a debit or credit card number and home address, to have a free device delivered to the person's home. The targets are told that while the device is free, there's a monitoring fee for the service, thus giving the scammers access to personal financial information.
The attorney general says his office has received several calls from consumers who were suspicious after receiving such solicitations. He says this serves as a good reminder never to give out personal or financial information when someone initiates a call to you.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - Chris Kelly and Diane Teague, former co-executive directors of the Snowmass Western Heritage Association and the rodeo, announced recently that they have stepped down from their positions.
"As of the last rodeo of the season in August, we are no longer associated with the Snowmass Rodeo," they wrote in an email addressed to several individuals, including the Snowmass Sun. "We are both proud of the success of the rodeo over the many years and we hope that legacy can continue. We had a good run and we were glad that you were a part of it."
Kelly declined to comment further.
The SWHA produces the annual summer rodeo. Board member Tom Yocum said there had been some conflicts within the association over finances.
"We're also trying to make it more of a Snowmass organization ... as it is a community event, and I was trying to get more locals to participate," he said. Kelly and Teague live downvalley, and not many recent rodeo participants have been from Snowmass.
Stock contractor Darce Vold will now take over the whole rodeo. Condensing those roles into one position will make the rodeo more "streamlined," Yocum said.
"The expense was getting a little bit much for us," he said. "We're trying to make it a little more simple."
Vold has run some big rodeos, including one in Cheyenne, Wyo., according to Yocum.
"This is a natural change of things after a few years," Yocum said. "We compliment them on a job spectacularly done for a long time."
The Snowmass Rodeo is headed into its 40th anniversary year. With new leadership and an anniversary to mark, the association might change some things at the event next season, according to Yocum.
Last summer set a record for the rodeo's attendance. In their email, Kelly and Teague thanked their sponsors, volunteers, participants and all supporters for contributing to the most recent season's success.
"Good weather helped a lot," they wrote. "But so did you. ... We couldn't have done it without you."

Post subject: baby screams in pain when eating
my 4mth old daughter screams out , arches her back and seems to be in terrible distress when eating. I have been to gp on several occasions regarding this but they keep saying it is wind. everyone who has seen my little girl feed says it is not normal, currently the gp told me to try baby gaviscon to no avail. This is extremely stressful for us both as it is awful watching your baby in so much pain, the screaming in pain sometimes goes on right up to her next feed. Gp also advised me to put her onto solids, this has made no difference, just as bad. i cannot take her out as if i feed her when we are out people have approached me and said why are you force feeding her she doesnt want it. I'm at my wits end can anyone help, or has anyone's child had the same symptoms? [/b]

Post subject: arching, screaming when eating
More details, please - does the baby eat and scream, or refuse to eat? Is the GP concerned about weight being low? Did the GP examine the baby's belly, feeling for bowel obstructions and listening for sounds of gas in the belly? Have they looked at the esophagus for signs of acid reflux? What does the baby "eat": breastmilk or formula or rice cereal? What positions does the baby prefer while eating: upright, side-lying, or on tummy? How often are you feeding (? hours apart?) How much urine / poo daily?
hope to help problem-solve,

O my sounds like a case of ACID REFLUX (GERD) to me.Poor Baby.Your baby is probably crying because it hurts to eat that's also why she arches her back.It's like heartburn. Honestly if your docter is not helping you get down to the bottom of this find a docter who will!! Don't stop trying to look for answers.And a good docter would do the same. My 3 month old daughter was in and out of the hospital.No one knew what was wrong with her until I read the Fussy baby book. The docter said it was colic.Colic usually means they don't know what is wrong with the baby.I was furious.Her symtoms continued to get worse. I had to demand that something be done for her.So the docter did an upper G.I. and low and behold she had a bad case of acid reflux.
I would look into acid reflux,gerd.By the way your baby doesn't have to have all the symtoms of reflux to have it. My daughter is gaining weight good and 1 of the symtoms is poor weight gain her docter said she didnt have it because she was gaining good weight.Good luck

It has taken 10 months to fully diagnose the problems with my daughters eating-she had suffered from silent reflux - feeding time was a nightmare keep on at your GP / Health Visitor ask for a home visit around feeding time so they can see exactly what the problems are and keep a diary of her feeding.Things will hopefully get better- you are not alone!

Post subject: Feeding problems
I had (still sometimes having) problems when it comes to feeding my almost 4 month old baby. He refuses to "eat" (bottle milk only). I have also found that it helps to feed whhile he gets very sleepy or almost half asleep. Also I have put a very TINY bit of peanut butter (salt and sugar FREE) on the teat, to get him going. ALTHOUGH this is against recommendation as babies can very easily be alergic to peanuts. My baby has been in hospital twice in two weeks due to this refusing to eat and becoming very lathargic, BUT 3 pediatricians could not identify the pronblem and ALL tests have been done, with no answers. There is no pain invloved when trying to feed him, he just totally refuses to eat, 13 hours has gone by without him wanting to feed. Again if anyone has any advise PLEASE HELP

Post subject: Me too!
I have just been searching the internet, at my witts end with the same problem and am so glad to have found you.
My baby is also 4 months and has exactly the same problem. He was diagnosed with acid reflux at a day old and was put on Rinitadene (spelling?) and Dom Peridon, however when he left the hospital 2 weeks later they decided he didin't need these and prescribed Infant Gaviscon. However the last few weeks he has started with the same symtoms as you describe (back arching, rigidity, screaming with pain). My GP recommend that we tried bigger teats (size 3) and if that didn't work to change his food. The teats thing had a degree of sucess and I've just been and bought new food. However I am only giving it another day or so and then I am going to demand to go back to the hospital.
The only thing that sometimes works is feeding him whilst walking round and jiggling him, but he is getting too heavy for this and is often so upset by this time that he throws it back up.
Do let me know how you get on as I am desperate for a solution!

Post subject: problem feeding
My boy is 8 months and he has difficulty eating. He cries everytime he has nipple in his mouth. He is on Prevacid which is a proton pump inhibitor, it helps with decreasing the acid production in the stomach. I know he has reflux b/c when he spits up I can actually smell the acid. So, Prevacid helps with that but he still cries when the nipple is in his mouth. He is also taking a special formula called Elecare. This formula is allergen free. I figured if he does have allergies than this formula must help. The formula has assisted with the gas and the colic pain he had earlier and the allergic colitis but he still cries. My boy only eats in his sleep. He does not like any jar baby food. It takes his about 45m-1h to finish one bottle. I have tried everything. I had full time job but I can ony work several days per month b/c he won't eat. Several days ago I also noticed some ulcerations in his mouth. My PMD told me that it is a commom childhood illness and should go away soon. We are seeing a GI doc, nutritionist, speech therapist and they all are not really worried. The child is between 25-50% on the growth chart so everything seems ok to them. I don't really know what to do and how to help him. It is possible that he has an oral aversion from having the reflux for some time but he has been on high doses of meds so it really should help at this point.(3 months on prevacid) I guess an endoscopy is the next step but the general anesthesia really scares me. I wish there was a magic answer out there for us. Any thoughts? Thanks

Just to add. When the baby arches her back and seems to be in distress it is hard to tell if she is actually hurting or if she has been in pain for some time and maybe she associates the pain she had before with this meal. It is called oral aversion. What is baby gaviscon?
You can try testing that baby for allergies. Many babies are allergic to milk protein and to soy. If that is the case you can try another formula like Alimentum but it tastes nasty. Neocate and Elimentum have no allergens but are very expensive and you must notify your MD before changing any formula.
GERD is another possibility. It can be silent which means the baby may not even spit up but damage to the esophagus is still done. So, there is PPI Prevacid. Look at www.Prevacid.com for more details. It is available in strawberry flavor so the baby may like that. Research shows that this med and other meds in its class are more effecting in treating GERD than H2 blockers like Zantac. Zantac also tastes bad and my boy hated it. So talk to your provider.
Adding some rice cereal to you formula or breast milk can help. It does decrease GI emptying time so talk to your MD. Sometimes Reglan can help with that. Make t milk and rice ceral to a consistency the baby feels comfortable with. Recommendations are tricky. The book states 1 tablespoon per oz but that is too thick. Make the nipple hole bigger.
Also try wrapping your baby in blanket and rocking him or her gently until the baby is calm. Giving the baby food or milk when he or she is screaming will make them associate meal time with bad emotions. So think behavior and comfort. Also try playing music and take a deep breath and pray. Be patient and do not get frustrated.
If nothing works, then GI consult is indicated. See what the specialist thinks. Hopefully you have good health insu. b/c they are expensive. When nothing helps, then they may do an endoscopy or upper GI depending what MD thinks is going on. If GERD does not respond to high doses of PPIs or H2blockers then maybe it is not GERD. It could be EE which is eosinophilic esophagitis (aka asthma of the esophagus). Maybe the baby has yeast growing in the esophagus. Maybe there are ulcers down there. The GI doc will test for that when he does an endoscopy with biopsy. I think that you have to keep on investigating until you know what is going on with the baby. I know your pain but know that you are not alone. Good luck

Post subject: screaming when its time to eat
My 2 1/2 month old has been screaming for a couple of weeks now mostly when I try to feed her. She acts like she wants to eat but is in terrible pain. I finally found a pediatrician today who is bound and determined to help me figure out what is wrong with my child. They have done blood work, taken urine, and done an x-ray and I am waiting for results. In the mean time they prescribed her Ranitidine for reflux to see if that is the cause of all this pain. Although all of this started 2 weeks ago on the day she had her 2 month shots.
They gave her a new vaccine that was oral and it was a live virus. It may just be a coincidence but they are not going to assume anything. My advice to the woman with the 4 month old who is having this problem is don't give up and find a new pediatrician asap. We went through the same thing so we switched docs and so dfar so good. The other thing I will say is exactly what I have been telling everyone for the last 2 weeks that has told me it's collic or she is fine, good mother's know thier children and we know when something is wrong. We know what cry is saying " I'm hurting " or " I want to be held " so don't let anyone try to stop you from finding out what is wrong with your child when you know that they are in pain and something is definitely wrong. Good luck!

Has your 2 1/2 month old baby had any stool changes? What formula is the baby on? Sometimes, at that age kids may show signs of milk sensitivity. Gas, visible red blood and mucus in the stool are signs of possible milk allergies. If that is the case, ask you pediatrician about Alimentum. it will help with colic. I think that the h2 blocker, Reglan, is a good idea. It does taste terrible. Maybe you can mix it with something sweet for the baby to decrease the nasty taste. If you breastfeed, try avoiding milk in your diet and see what happens. Also stay away from coffee and spicy foods. Those things can increase their belly discomfort and contribute to GER. It is funny that the MD decided to do this complete workup. If the baby has not been loosing weight I don't know why the provider would decide to stick the baby for blood. Was there a fever? It sound to me like the baby has some reflux or allergies to food. You don't think so?

There are a couple of feedings a day when my son takes 2 zips and screams, then takes a couple more and screams again. The feeding becomes hell. He gets inconsolable. It is svery hard to tell whether the problem is air he swallowed as he keeps crying after burping. OR he is just trying to pass wind or poop and it hurts as he is pulling his legs to his tummy. The majority of feedings are calm. He drinks milk from the bottle, I burp him in between and after and he falls asleep.
Does you baby scream EVERY time when you try to feed her/him? Or does it only happen occasionally during the day?

Russia Optimistic About Missile ShieldDecember 15th, 2010
At last month's NATO summit, the former Soviet Union tentatively agreed to cooperate with NATO in expanding missile defense in Europe. Members approved the proposal to expand and link missile defense shield systems in the U.S. and Europe to protect against long-range missile attacks.
Because of rogue countries like Iran and North Korea, intent on building missiles, transitioning our relationship with Russia away from a strategy based on retaliation toward one based on defense is key. Ria Novosti reports that Russia's NATO envoy is optimistic about his country working with the U.S. on missile shields in Europe. Dmitry Rogozin said Russia looked forward to a "real exchange of data and evaluations."
Janusz Bugajski, director of the New European Democracies Project, doesn't mince words when it comes to how he feels about current agreements between Russia and the U.S. In the Washington Times, he asserts that Dmitry Medevedev blackmailed NATO into acquiescing.
For the Kremlin, NATO remains a threat not because it destabilizes Russia but because it thwarts its imperial aspirations. President Dmitry Medvedev blackmails the alliance by asserting that NATO's eastward growth would terminate all collaboration with the West. Despite lofty declarations at the recent Lisbon Summit, NATO growth has been stymied indefinitely along Poland's eastern border.
Moscow also seeks veto powers over troop deployments among new NATO members. It wants NATO to commit to stationing a maximum of 3,000 soldiers; if reinforcements were needed during a crisis, NATO would require Russia's consent. In effect, the alliance would depend on Moscow's permission to intervene if Russia invaded a NATO member.
Moscow also has been invited to participate in NATO's missile-defense program and exploits that opportunity to divide the continent. Mr. Medvedev has proposed that Europe be split into two sectors of "military responsibility" to protect it from missile attack – one controlled by NATO, the other by Russia, encompassing all ex-Soviet states. In this context, cooperation over Afghanistan, Iran and nuclear proliferation remains contingent upon Western strategic concessions acknowledging Russia's zone of influence across Eurasia.
Although Russia agreed to cooperate with NATO, everything seems to hinge on whether START is ratified. The treaty limits strategic nuclear weapons to 1,550 warheads and delivery vehicles to 800. But for the Republicans retaking the U.S. House of Representatives, START might have been ratified by now. As it stands, passage this Congress is unlikely.

Skating icon Dorothy Hamill says the experts are right when it comes to America's chances next year at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
"It just doesn't favor us right now," said Hamill, who is scheduled to perform Sunday at HP Pavilion in the Stars on Ice Now & Then tour.
The world rankings support Hamill's observations heading into the 2013 World Championships, March 11-17, in Canada.
Japan has two of the world's top four-ranked women skaters and three in the top 10. Russia has four in the top 10. The United States has only Ashley Wagner at No. 3. Japan also has the second- and third-ranked men and two others in the top 10.
The Japanese impressed Hamill recently when she met them as part of the Stars on Ice tour in Asia. The 1976 Olympic champion expects Japanese ice princesses to turn heads with their fluid succession of triple jumps and other acrobatic moves.
But ...
"A year is still a long way away because so much can happen with injuries," she said.
Hamill, 56, didn't win a world title before competing at the Innsbruck Games in Austria, where her stirring performance captured the imagination of a nation and made her one of America's most endearing Olympians.
The United States will greatly improve its position if Gracie Gold and Wagner finish with a combination of 13th or higher at the world championships to give America three berths for Sochi. While Wagner is the two-time reigning U.S. champion, many skating analysts expect Gold, 17, to be the next major star.
"Gracie is incredible," Hamill said. "With one year of experience it could all be there. It depends on how driven she is. The rest is barring injuries."
Hamill paused.
"I don't even want to say that word," she added.
Skating is more physically demanding since Hamill and her famous bob hair style graced the Olympic ice. As a result, competitors are susceptible to injury. It's one of the main reasons why Hamill won't rule out a surprise for Sochi next February.
"It's not just falling," she said. "It's the positions and spins. Some people are born to be able to hold their foot above head and spin like a top. I wasn't born that way."
Hamill likes to downplay her storied performances that have been etched into the fabric of American skating lore alongside Peggy Fleming, Michelle Kwan and Kristi Yamaguchi.
"Even where I practice there are girls 11 and 12 doing double axels, triple toe loops," Hamill said. "Just thinking of trying to have done that in the Dark Ages, well, it is just not something that I can even relate to."
The Olympian recently was added to season 16 of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars." Hamill will compete with partner Tristan MacManus. She also is performing a duet in the ice show with Canadian champion Kurt Browning.

There are lots of opinions of the best programs to use to get your family history data on to the computer, etc. One I ran across today from one of my RSS feeds is from Gizmo, a site which reviews FREE software in general.
The posting today lists some of the most popular FREE genealogy programs. For most of us (and especially for those just starting to get your data on your computer) these programs will work just as well as the ones you have to buy. It would be possible to start here and never use any other program, or a person could start here and upgrade to a commercial program later.

Hello, I am interested in the power suply unit 'Best Value Alpine 500W PSU 120mm Red Fan'. I see most of the user comments are god about it, but I also see a feedback that is negative and says that it intereferes electrically with other devices, like the phone landline. From your experience , is this power supply unit good, does it have interference with the devices in the house? I am interested in a power suply unit that gets the job done, nothing fancy, but I do not want it to interfere with other devices from my house. Please give me an honest answer, if it does have some issues I'll go for a more expensive one, but I'll still buy it from BT because I am really happy with the customer services and everything :).

This great, little PSU is currently powering my system which is my file server, main storage device and gaming system.
It was easy to install in the case and had more than enough Molex and SATA power connectors for all of my four hard drives and one optical drive.
It doesn't come with a three-pin wall outlet cable, but how many PSUs do. My system runs 24/7 and has not lost power since being turned on in January. Its fan runs very quietly and smoothly.
It's currently powering:
An ASUS P5G41C-M LX. (6P4HWS00)
An Intel Pentium E6500. (6L8LWS00)
2GB of Kingston Value RAM. (67FVWS00)

Longwood chemistry professor doing research prompted by his love of hot, spicy food
July 27, 2011
A Longwood University chemistry professor is conducting research that might make it easier to detect the amount of the most important ingredient in the hot sauce he likes to use on his food.
Dr. Chris Gulgas, a lifelong lover of hot, spicy food, is researching a new detection method for capsaicin, a molecule that makes hot peppers hot and is found in pain desensitizers. He and some undergraduates are trying to design a luminescent sensor molecule for detecting capsaicinoids - a family of molecules that are structurally related - in solution. They are working on bonding two luminescent ions called lanthanides with capsaicin and capsaicin-like molecules. The luminescent molecules increase their light production when bonded with capsaicin, which Gulgas hopes will act as a sensor and reveal how much capsaicin is in a liquid, solution or mixture such as hot sauce.
"Students and I are designing and synthesizing new molecules from scratch," said Gulgas, assistant professor of chemistry, who started the project in March 2010. "This hasn't been done before for this molecule. No one is working on a sensor for capsaicinoids but me. My goal is to be able to take a drop from bottle of hot sauce, which is a complicated mixture, and mix it with my sensor molecule and, using an instrument called a fluorometer, be able to say accurately how much capsaicin is in that sample. This result can be accomplished now, through a process called Liquid Chromotography, which is the industry standard and is widely used, but it's time-consuming and costly.
"We're studying changes in light given off by lanthanide ions. I'm using two lanthanides - europium and terbium - that produce light as the signal for detecting capsaicinoids. I want the lanthanide to interact with capsaicin. In this research, I'm testing only synthetic capsaicinoids, which are easier to work with and in this case are made from vanilla. If we were using naturally occurring capsaicinoids, it might irritate your skin, or the vapors from an open bottle would be uncomfortable. We started with one sensor I made, and the students and I have made three different versions of sensor molecules.
"My background is in developing sensor molecules. I have made sensors for small molecules or ions, and I have previously created a new sensor for fluoride ions, but this is something different. No one has tried to detect capsaicin with a sensor molecule or sensor complex, so I set out to synthesize a new one using a lanthanide. I was already familiar with capsaicin because of my love of spicy foods, and one day I got the idea that lanthanides would bond well with capsaicin and decided to try it. We have synthesized a series of molecular sensors and studied their response to a model capsaicinoid, achieving quite encouraging preliminary results.
"The way we were approaching this project is exactly the same as what is done in drug development, even though we're not developing a drug. What we're interested in is structure-activity relationships. The structure (of the molecule) defines how something behaves. We're looking at how we can measure capsaicin more accurately and more cheaply."
The research could possibly have applications in quality control, though that's not why Gulgas is doing this project. "If successful, we would replace Liquid Chromotography as a measuring tool for capsaicin," he said.
Gulgas has always liked spicy food, and he grows his own peppers. He keeps two bottles of Tabasco sauce on his desk. "I use this sauce for lunch at least three times a week," he said. "I use it on a lot of foods, including eggs, grits, and Mexican food such as rice and beans."
This fall he will be assisted in his research by Dan Kelley and Cheryl Peck, both senior chemistry majors. Kelley helped with the research in spring 2011. Other students with whom he has worked on this project include Rob Bressin and Wyatt Colvin, both of whom graduated in May 2011, and Rachel Enga, a rising senior. Bressin's senior honors thesis, under Gulgas, was "Increasing Binding Strength for Capsaicin Analogs through Alteration of Lanthanide Chelates." Bressin is enrolled in a Ph.D. program in chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh, and Colvin is a research assistant with Luna Innovations in Charlottesville.
The study has been the focus of presentations by Gulgas and Bressin, Colvin and Enga at various conferences, including an oral presentation, "Eu (III) and Tb (III) chelates show a strong luminescence response to capsaicinoids in solution," at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in March 2011 in Anaheim, Cal. At that meeting, there was a poster presentation by Bressin and Gulgas and another by Colvin, Enga and Gulgas. Also, Gulgas and Colvin gave an oral presentation, "Synthesis of lanthanide chelates for detection of capsaicin in solution," at the ACS Central Region meeting in June 2010 in Dayton, Ohio. Gulgas has given on-campus presentations of the research in the Blackwell and Chichester Colloquium lecture series.A native of Youngstown, Ohio, Gulgas, who teaches organic chemistry, joined the Longwood faculty in fall 2008. He is a graduate of the College of Wooster and has a Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati. His wife, Brandi George Gulgas, is scheduling coordinator in Longwood's office of Conferences & Scheduling.

Knitter's Review

I've just spent more than four hours in an intensive master class with Canadian knitwear designer and teacher Lucy Neatby.
She was wonderfully patient, willing to skip ahead, slow down, repeat herself again and again, and even pause mid-sentence while I went in the kitchen to refresh my cup of tea.
That's because Lucy was on my TV, and I was watching her two brilliant new DVDs.

Children's Health
Pediatricians Seek Stiffer Regulation of Chemicals
April 25, 2011 -- The U.S. chemical management policy known as the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) does not adequately protect children and pregnant women from hazardous chemicals in the environment and needs to be overhauled, according to a new policy statement by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
The group is concerned about the potential health risks associated with a laundry list of environmental pollutants, including heavy metals; phthalates found in toys, personal care products, nail polish, adhesives, and other products; the plastics chemical bisphenol A (BPA); perfluorinated compounds found in nonstick cookware; and flame retardants.
Passed in 1976, the TSCA requires companies that manufacture chemicals to notify the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of intent to market a new chemical. The chemical manufacturers are not required to perform any safety testing before notifying the EPA. As part of the overhaul, the AAP suggests that the EPA be able to demand safety data from companies and limit or stop the marketing of chemicals that may be harmful. The AAP also urges that any testing of chemicals include women and children to see if there are any effects on fertility and childhood growth and development.
TSCA Reform: Will It Pass?
This issue of TSCA reform seems to be reaching a critical mass. A growing number of studies have linked some of these chemicals to several diseases and conditions, and some groups, including the AAP, the American Medical Association, the American Public Health Association, and the American Nurses Association, have endorsed a need to make changes to the TSCA.
"TSCA reform proposals have been introduced in Congress in each of the last three sessions, and the AAP has now joined several other health organizations as well as the American Chemistry Council in calling for comprehensive reform of TSCA," policy author Jerome A. Paulsen, MD, a pediatrician at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., says in an email. "Hopefully our weight will push the process toward completion."
The new policy statement appears in the May issue of Pediatrics.
What the AAP Wants
"The U.S. needs a system that requires companies to screen chemicals for toxicity before they market those chemicals," Paulsen says. "The companies must submit their data to EPA for analysis and for approval to market [and] this must be coupled with post-market surveillance to identify issues missed in the screen process and with the capability for EPA to remove chemicals from the market based on a reasonable level of concern of danger to human health."

Impetigo is an infection of the top layers of the skin and is most common among children ages 2 to 6 years. It usually starts when bacteria get into a cut, scratch, or insect bite.
Impetigo is usually caused by staphylococcus (staph) bacteria, but it also can be caused by group A streptococcus bacteria. Skin infections are usually caused by different types (strains) of strep bacteria than those that cause strep throat. Therefore, the types of strep germs that cause impetigo are usually different from those that cause strep throat.
The infection is spread by direct contact with lesions (wounds or sores) or nasal discharge from an infected person. Scratching may spread the lesions. It usually takes 1 to 3 days from the time of infection until you show symptoms. If your skin doesn't have breaks in it, you can't be infected by dried strep bacteria in the air.
Symptoms start with red or pimple-like lesions surrounded by reddened skin. These sores can be anywhere on your body, but mostly on your face, arms, and legs. The sores fill with pus, then break open after a few days and form a thick crust. Itching is common.
Your healthcare provider can diagnose the infection by looking at the skin lesions.
If your impetigo is caused by strep bacteria, your healthcare provider will prescribe oral antibiotics, as with strep throat. This treatment may also include an antibiotic ointment to be used on your skin.

How to Get Victoria's Secret Hair
To asses what shade is right for you, dip a Q-tip into the foundation container and then apply it to the center of your jawline area along the side of your face. If the shade appears invisible, you've met your match!
But, before you go selecting your shade, make sure you read this tip: Makeup artist Orlando Santiago says many Latinas make the mistake of choosing a foundation based on how light or dark they are, when we should be looking at our undertones. We are either neutral, cool, or warm. Click through to see what foundation works best for you!
If you're cool, the veins on your inner wrist appear blue, you tend to turn a flushed pink color in the sun, and you burn easily, so you want to look for a foundation that has rosier, redder, or blue base.
For lighter-skinned cool chicas like Eva Longoria, we like L'Oreal Paris True Match Roller in C3 Creamy Natural.

Very happy with the functionality and design of this app. Very useful with the ability to sync iMac version to iPod Touch or iPhone. Recommended.
@johnny_boy Adding iCal support to a client that in its very nature doesn't support dates and scheduling would have no practicality.
Beautiful and functional, but doesn't sync with iCal/Mail. Developers are not interested in implementing this feature either, possibly because they are a profit-based company.
After using ST for the last two days I have to add one more comment:
Forget what I wrote before about adding two more importance levels.
One thing that keeps me from using it is no ability to extend the notes down, to more lines, instead of using one long line.
In other words, please make the boxes extendable in width as you write, not only in length.
very nice!!! Thank you!
Two requests:
...to add 2 more levels of importance - orange and yellow
Now is only one, Red, which is most important.
...and ability to arrange the tasks according to Importance: Red, Orange, Yellow. Otherwise it's Perfect!
Nice app! But I would like to sort to-do's in categories. That's why I still prefer SimpleToDo.
Yeah, a free simple task manager thats worth while. Thank you Adam Fisher, Josh Holat, and Joel Levin

Harbor Freight Transmission Jack
Posted 06 July 2010 - 11:51 PM
I saw this mentioned in a thread here (I think), so I bought one and here is a pic of it in action. Not bad for $80. As a reference, 19" from ground to bottom of control arm bushings.
Also, replace clutch fork whenever the opportunity presents itself.
This one is DEAD at 160k! Still not happy w/ clutch feel, never have been, but at least car is driveable again.

It worked pretty well; I don't think I could've done the job by bench pressing the transmission, and using just a floor jack would have been difficult.
However, I certainly agree with the other remarks that Harbor Freight tools are not suitable for regular use.
Fortunately, the engine and trans separated pretty easily, because I had the engine out not too long ago for other reasons. You can image how thrilled I was to be going back in just for some piddling little piece of steel...but such is life!
IMO, it's easier to pull the engine than the trans, unless you happen to have access to a lift.

A 2x4 wood block wedged between the Alt pulley and the upper lip of the radiator support keeps the engine from rocking forward, makes angles better for reinstall.
I use a jack and a block of wood under the oil pan to rock the engine back. You can get it farther back and many of the newer rigs have that plastic tank radiator and the amount of flexing that goes on when trying to shove a tranny against the engine when it's resting on the radiator..... makes me nervous. I did use that method in the past but I came up against a few cars where that hasn't worked and thus the new system for me.
