I'm not up to speed on all the technical terms, etc, I need some very basic, clear help, please :)
What I want to do: have a folder full of pictures I choose and upload to my server. Have thumbnails of those appear via widget on my sidebar. Random if possible.
For Flickr, I think I'd have to upload all the pictures I want to use - some are not my own - and don't care to have them public on there. So, I want my own control.
So, is there a way to do it that even I can understand? I throw myself on your mercy.

National Resources Mobilization Act
|National Resources Mobilization Act, 1940
|An Act to confer certain powers on the Governor in Council for the mobilization of resources in the present war
|4 George VI, Chap. 13
|Enacted by
|Parliament of Canada
|Date assented to
|June 21, 1940[1]
The National Resources Mobilization Act, 1940, 4 George VI, Chap. 13, was a statute of the Parliament of Canada that was passed to provide for better planning of a much greater Canadian war effort, both overseas and in military production at home.
Modelled on the British Emergency Powers (Defence) Act 1940, it gave the Canadian government the power to
do and authorize such acts and things, and make from time to time such orders and regulations, requiring persons to place themselves, their services and their property at the disposal of His Majesty in right of Canada, as may be deemed necessary or expedient for securing the public safety, the defence of Canada, the maintenance of public order, or the efficient prosecution of the war, or for maintaining supplies or services essential to the life of the community.[2]
This was the basis of all organization for Canada's war production.
Preparation for military readiness[edit]
In order to prepare the population for military service, provision was made under the Act for:
- compulsory national registration[3][4]
- restricting men eligible for military service from obtaining civilian employment in positions considered not to be essential to the war effort, so that women, and men who had been discharged from service or who were ineligible for service, could be hired instead[5]
- requiring men to submit to medical treatment in order to be called up for military service[6]
- conscription[7]
Employment control[edit]
The Act was also used to ensure greater efficiency that was required in a wartime economy by:
- requiring employers to report who their employees were[8]
- barring agricultural workers, after March 23, 1942, from obtaining non-agricultural employment (other than in primary industry, active service or military training) without permission[9]
- from June 17, 1942, requiring any worker to obtain a permit before he or she could start working for an employer, and such permission could be refused[10]
- from September 1, 1942, instituting a national system of employment control under the National Selective Service Regulations, 1942, so that no-one could seek a new job without possessing a permit to do so, no employer could advertise for workers without permission, no-one was allowed to be out of work for more than seven days, and anyone could be required to apply for any available full-time suitable work of high or very high labour priority and to accept any such work offered to him.[11][12] In conjunction with these measures, the Wartime Prices and Trade Board restricted non-essential industrial activity to the minimum needed for civilian requirements[13] (although tensions existed between the Board and the National Selective Service).[14]
- issuing Compulsory Employment Transfer Orders, compelling certain classes of men to engage in essential employment, and requiring their current employers to release them for that purpose, during several stages in 1943:
|Age or status
|In stated industries
|Or in stated occupations
|1st Order (May 19, 1943)[17]
|2nd Order (June 15, 1943)[18]
|3rd Order (July 15, 1943)[19]
|4th Order (July 23, 1943)[20]
|5th Order (August 3, 1943)[21]
|6th Order (September 3, 1943)[22]
|7th Order (November 29, 1943)[23]
- From September 1, 1943, employers in high-priority industries were prohibited from releasing any of their employees, and such employees were barred from giving notice of separation, without the written permission of a National Selective Service officer,[24] and such controls continued until September 17, 1945.[25]
Nature of conscription[edit]
The Act permitted conscripts (known as "R men"[26] or "zombies"[27]) to be used for home defence only and not to be deployed overseas. This was modified in August 1942 to permit the government to send conscripts overseas, after a plebiscite was held on the matter in April 1942. Such an order, authorizing the transfer of 16,000 conscriptees to England, was not made until November 1944.[28] This precipitated the Conscription Crisis of 1944, and resulted in several Quebec Liberal MPs leaving the party in protest.
The first overseas campaign that NRMA recruits were involved in was the recapture of the island of Kiska in August 1943.[29] 9,667 NRMA recruits were sent to England, of which two-thirds only arrived after V-E Day.[28]

Hearing Impairment in Children represents the proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Childhood Deafness. The symposium, which was held in Nashville, Tenn, in July 1986, was designed to bring together recognized authorities in a wide variety of disciplines and to update our understanding of the issues related to childhood hearing impairment. While the book comes out nearly two years after the symposium was held, the time was well spent. The editing of the book is superb, and the long interval has not diminished the importance of the material.
The number and complexity of issues that either touch on or are touched by childhood hearing impairment are striking. There seems to be no area of human science or medicine that does not in some way play a role in the cause, diagnosis, or treatment of hearing impairment.
The book is divided into three sections: (1) "Issues on Etiology/Auditory Disorders," (2)

Development of a UAV-LiDAR System with Application to Forest Inventory
AbstractWe present the development of a low-cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Light Detecting and Ranging (UAV-LiDAR) system and an accompanying workflow to produce 3D point clouds. UAV systems provide an unrivalled combination of high temporal and spatial resolution datasets. The TerraLuma UAV-LiDAR system has been developed to take advantage of these properties and in doing so overcome some of the current limitations of the use of this technology within the forestry industry. A modified processing workflow including a novel trajectory determination algorithm fusing observations from a GPS receiver, an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and a High Definition (HD) video camera is presented. The advantages of this workflow are demonstrated using a rigorous assessment of the spatial accuracy of the final point clouds. It is shown that due to the inclusion of video the horizontal accuracy of the final point cloud improves from 0.61 m to 0.34 m (RMS error assessed against ground control). The effect of the very high density point clouds (up to 62 points per m2) produced by the UAV-LiDAR system on the measurement of tree location, height and crown width are also assessed by performing repeat surveys over individual isolated trees. The standard deviation of tree height is shown to reduce from 0.26 m, when using data with a density of 8 points perm2, to 0.15mwhen the higher density data was used. Improvements in the uncertainty of the measurement of tree location, 0.80 m to 0.53 m, and crown width, 0.69 m to 0.61 m are also shown.

Those people who followed the links from my post about the my mad week in Manchester will have already seen my new website, but I thought I ought to tell you about it properly, as I am rather excited by how it looks. This is the homepage. When you go to the real thing, the top section moves:
Regular readers will have noticed that I have been doing as much urban sketching work as book illustration. That is definitely what's been getting me excited of late and an area I want to expand. Until this month though, my website has been all about children's books. It's still working great for that side of things and is perfect for helping with school visits, so I don't want to change it, but it's no good for potential clients for my new reportage projects. Which is why I got someone to help build me a 2nd website at www.lynnechapman.net
This site features all the different aspects of my work where I am painting and drawing from life. It's perfect for showcasing the artist-in-residence work at the Morgan Centre, as well as letting people know that I am also available to create a visual record of any sort of event. I've already covered conferences, but it would be interesting to get involved in non-academic events too: imagine a sketch-record of farming processes, or the manufacture and launch of a new product... Pretty much anything is possible and I am sure there is a market for such projects. It's just letting people know that I am here!
I'd like to do more workshops centred around teaching people to sketch too, as well as more public speaking about what I do. I love to talk about it! I needed somewhere to separated out workshops of that kind from my children's illustration workshops. I deliberately featured photos of adults, to get the point across that it doesn't have to happen in schools. I'd love to be attached to a big institution and offer an afternoon of drawing for staff once a month, like some businesses subsidise yoga, to help with mindfulness and relaxation.
I now have somewhere to gather all my films about drawing together too, rather than mixing them in with the ones about illustration and the films for kids.
I will soon be able to include the brand new film the university commissioned, which was on show at the exhibition.
This new website is a much more relevant home for my sketchbooks too. I've simplified the archive down, so it's easier to find what you are interested in, organising it by subject matter categories:
This new website is a much more relevant home for my sketchbooks too. I've simplified the archive down, so it's easier to find what you are interested in, organising it by subject matter categories:
There are all the usual links available of course, so do use this part of the website to join me in other places, if you haven't already. I was quite pleased with the idea of creating a footer section for the links, from a scan of one of my sketchbooks:
I've included a big section explaining about what Urban Sketchers is, who Urban Sketchers Yorkshire are and what SketchCrawling is all about. Hopefully it will help recruit a few more people to the cause:
Have a wander round and let me know what you think. It would be good to know if you find any glitches or things which are missing. Hope you like it!

The Prestoungrange Arts Festival has been sponsored by the Baron Courts
of Prestoungrange and Dolphinstoun, a Scottish Charity, since 1997. It has also received grants from a variety of organisations including the Scottish Arts Council/ Creative Scotland, National Lottery HLF, the Scottish Government, Bord na Gaidhlig, Event Scotland, Awards for All, East Lothian Council and Scotland Unlimited. It seeks
in as many ways as possible to share the history and create the
future of the town through the Arts. It is based on the extensive
and continuing historical research reported at Prestoungrange
University Press. The buttons on the left will lead you to the range of festival activities currently in hand.
* 2006 saw the Arts Festival host The Global Murals Association's 6th Biennial
at Prestoungrange and the raising of the Prestoungrange Totem pole
* 2007 saw the definitive Exhibition of Prestonpans Pottery researched and presented by Graeme Cruickshank with a comprehensive accompanying book
* 2009 saw Prestonpans Salt made once again from the sea in partnership with Preston Lodge School and Newbattle Abbey - as 'Cistercian monks' once again came to the Pans
* 2010 saw the design by Andrew Crummy and creation by more than 200 stitchers of the 105 metre Battle of Prestonpans Tapestry, telling the story of Bonnie Prince Charlie's campaign in 1745 leading to his stunning Victory at Prestonpans in 1745. It has since toured the nation and exhibited in England and France attracting over 125,000 visitors in the first two years.
* 2011 saw the creation by Andrew Hillhouse of four major historical paintings depicting scenes from the Battle of Prestonpans
* 2012 saw Prestonpans designated a national Creative Place by Creative Scotland as atribute to all that has been achieved since 1997.
2012 also saw the launch of the largest project ever undertaken by the Arts Festival, with additional support from the Scottish Government & Creative Scotland - The Scottish Diaspora Tapestry - inviting 25 countries across the globe to tell their diaspora stories in embroidered panels ready for the Homecoming in 2014.
.... and finally, in the wake of the London Olympics, Tom Ewing completed his mural of Prestonpans Sporting Heroes at the Pennypit - sponsored by the Prestoungrange Gothenburg. A 22pp booklet linked HERE was also published with the athletes full stories.
.... the 'official' unveiling pictures were well reported in the local press.
* 2013 saw the award ['for services to the community in Presonpans'] of Membership of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire [MBE] to Gordon Prestoungrange, who founded and led the Arts Festival from 1997. A joint article in East Lothian Transactions, May 2013, [LINKED HERE] summarises what had been attempted and achieved.
* 2014 & 2015 were focussed on the largest artwork yet attempted in The Pans - the creation in 34 countries across the world of the Scottish Diaspora Tapestry. [LINKED HERE] It was ready with an initial 167 panels for the nation's Homecoming 2014 with a premiere in Prestonpans Community Centre on May 31st. Panels continued to flow in and the artwork was finally completed and exhibited with 304 panels in Veere in The Netherlands. Throughout 2014/ 2015 it toured Scotland and England and 2015 saw exhibitions across the Baltic & Western Europe in Bergen, Barga, Picinisco and Paris as well as Veere. The Official Guide is available @ our online Boutique in English and Gaelic, with an APP including these languages plus Italian and French for visitors at exhibitions.
* 2016 saw the Scottish Diaspora Tapestry tour to Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA with more than a dozen exhibitions en route i.e. Goolwa, Adelaide, Hobart, Albury, Wangaratta, Sydney, Otago/ Dundein, Winninpeg, Wiscosin, Scarborough/ Toronto, Charlottetown PEI, New GlasgowNS and Montreal Quebec.
The Arts Festival's work has been led across the years by a team of Scottish historians and distinguished artists including Andrew Dallmeyer, Annemarie Allan, the late Jim Forster, John Lindsay, Andrew Crummy, Annemarie Allen, Gordon Prestoungerange, Tom Ewing, Adele Conn, Yvonne Murphy, Gillian Hart, Arran Johnston and Sharon Beck. But they have at all times been accompanied by volunteer contributors in many other fields e.g. music, song, poetry, theatre, sculpture, pottery, photography and story telling. The Festival has always depended on the services of any and all such artists as care to join the initiative. Annual 'Burriss' Bursary and associated Grants are also provided for local artists.
The Arts Festival also works in close partnership with the Battle of Prestonpans 1745 Trust which was established in 2006 helping to attract more visitors to The Pans by conserving, interpreting and presenting the Living History of that Battle.
The Arts Festival was accepted by Scottish Ministers as a 'Community Right to Buy' enterprise in 2008 as it fought, regretably without success, to save the Auld Fowler's HQ in Prestonpans from demoilition by Lidl.
The Convenor of the Arts Festival Directorate from 2006/ 2016 was Dr. Andrew Crummy. General Secretary & Treasurer was Gillian Hart, both based at The Prestoungrange Gothenburg, 227 High Street, Prestonpans, East Lothian, EH32 9BE Scotland. Telephone (44) (0) 1875 819922. Today enquiries should be directed to Tom Ewing thereat.

Enter Intel. At the International Solid-State Circuits Conference In February of 2012, Intel demonstrated and discussed an SoC, called Rosepoint, with an integrated Wi-Fi radio on a chip with two Atom CPUs. That apparently left everyone scratching their heads about how Intel could get a radio to work without RF interference with the CPUs.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
On the third day of the Intel Developers Conference in September, 2012, when most attendees are snoozing, Intel demonstrated the Rosepoint chip again, but this time they revealed that the on-chip Wi-Fi radio was actually a completely digital implementation of radio. Digital radio was thought to be an "impossible" technology, but after ten years of work, Intel demonstrated, not pieces, but an entire digital radio transceiver.
The conclusion here is that LTE radio is no more difficult than Wi-Fi radio. If that is true nobody should be surprised if Intel offers a complete digital radio smartphone-on-a-chip SoC within the next year. The size of such a chip would be approximately 50 square mm run on a 14nm process. The manufacturing cost of that chip could be as little #$%$ As we can see from the above bill of materials, the value of that chip to a handset manufacturer might be $35-45.

From the book
The gate was packed with weary travelers, most of them standing and huddled along the walls because the meager allotment of plastic chairs had long since been taken. Every plane that came and went held at least eighty passengers, yet the gate had seats for only a few dozen.
There seemed to be a thousand waiting for the 7 p.m. flight to Miami. They were bundled up and heavily laden, and after fighting the traffic and the check-in and the mobs along the concourse they were subdued, as a whole. It was the Sunday after Thanksgiving, one of the busiest days of the year for air travel, and as they jostled and got pushed farther into the gate many asked themselves, not for the first time, why, exactly, they had chosen this day to fly.
The reasons were varied and irrelevant at the moment. Some tried to smile. Some tried to read, but the crush and the noise made it difficult. Others just stared at the floor and waited. Nearby a skinny black Santa Claus clanged an irksome bell and droned out holiday greetings.
A small family approached, and when they saw the gate number and the mob they stopped along the edge of the concourse and began their wait. The daughter was young and pretty. Her name was Blair, and she was obviously leaving. Her parents were not. The three gazed at the crowd, and they, too, at that moment, silently asked themselves why they had picked this day to travel.
The tears were over, at least most of them. Blair was twenty-three, fresh from graduate school with a handsome resume but not ready for a career. A friend from college was in Africa with the Peace Corps, and this had inspired Blair to dedicate the next two years to helping others. Her assignment was eastern Peru, where she would teach primitive little children how to read. She would live in a lean-to with no plumbing, no electricity, no phone, and she was anxious to begin her journey.
The flight would take her to Miami, then to Lima, then by bus for three days into the mountains, into another century. For the first time in her young and sheltered life, Blair would spend Christmas away from home. Her mother clutched her hand and tried to be strong.
The good-byes had all been said. "Are you sure this is what you want?" had been asked for the hundredth time.
Luther, her father, studied the mob with a scowl on his face. What madness, he said to himself. He had dropped them at the curb, then driven miles to park in a satellite lot. A packed shuttle bus had delivered him back to Departures, and from there he had elbowed his way with his wife and daughter down to this gate. He was sad that Blair was leaving, and he detested the swarming horde of people. He was in a foul mood. Things would get worse for Luther.
The harried gate agents came to life and the passengers inched forward. The first announcement was made, the one asking those who needed extra time and those in first class to come forward. The pushing and shoving rose to the next level.
"I guess we'd better go," Luther said to his daughter, his only child.
They hugged again and fought back the tears. Blair smiled and said, "The year will fly by. I'll be home next Christmas."
Nora, her mother, bit her lip and nodded and kissed her once more. "Please be careful," she said because she couldn't stop saying it.
"I'll be fine."
They released her and watched helplessly as she joined a long line and inched away, away from them, away from home and security and everything she'd ever known. As she handed over her boarding pass, Blair turned and smiled at them one last time.
"Oh well," Luther said. "Enough of this. She's going to be fine."
Nora could think...
About the Author-
- John Grisham is the author of A Painted House, The Brethren, The Testament, The Street Lawyer, The Partner, The Runaway Jury, The Rainmaker, The Chamber, The Client, The Pelican Brief, The Firm, and A Time to Kill.
- Grisham's novel is a complete departure from his usual courtroom style. The story unfolds with whimsical humor as Dennis Boutsikaris narrates in an easy-to-listen-to voice. Boutsikaris depicts the Kranks with light humor, chagrin, and guilt, as neighbors blame them for losing the "best decorated street" award. When their daughter decides to return home from Peru as a surprise, it ends all plans for their Caribbean cruise and puts Christmas back on the calendar and decorations back on the street. From alienated neighbors to cranky Christmas shoppers, Boutsikaris does an exceptional job with each character and situation. Grisham's satirical look at Christmas materialism is well done and humorous. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
The Philadelphia Inquirer
"Grisham may well be the best American storyteller writing today."
The Washington Post
"Grisham is an absolute master."
- Entertainment Weekly "Never let it be said this man doesn't know how to spin a good yarn."

Censored 2009: Top 25 most censored stories
According to a study undertaken by the British polling group Opinion Research Business, American military actions since 2003 have led to the death of one million Iraqi people, rivaling mass killings in Rwanda in 1994 and Cambodia in the 70s under Pol Pot. In addition, 2.5 million Iraqis have fled the country to escape the violence and 10,000 depart the country every month.
Blues: Oxygen for working people
I went to see Cadillac Records with two of my movie buddies on the night after opening in Houston. This great movie is an exceptional attempt to portray the genius of African-American music.
Privatizers poked
The advanced privatization schemes of the far right in Texas are unraveling, and the perpetrators are going down. Privatization of government-run services has been a principle feature for neo-conservative rule worldwide since they took over in 1980. If Texas is an example of things to come, and it often is, then 'privatization' is about to assume the ugly reputation it deserved for so long.

Author Catherynne M. Valente Discusses Her Best-Selling Girl Novels
For Immediate Release:
October 15, 2012
October 15, 2012
Contact: Robert Butler
Author Catherynne M. Valente Discusses Her Best-Selling Girl Novels
Catherynne M. Valente's 2011 book for young people, the New York Times best seller The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, was a fantasy embraced both by children and adults.
Now Valente introduces her just-published followup volume, The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There on Thursday, October 18, 2012 at 6:30 p.m. at the Plaza Branch, 4801 Main St.
The first Fairyland book originated as a web-based weekly serialization, an approach that Valante says required throwing all her comfortable writing models out the window:
"Writing a serial in real time takes a certain amount of bravado - you can't go back and change anything, and yet, if you are lucky enough to engage a week-to-week readership, your audience will respond to every chapter vociferously, pointing out everything from spelling mistakes to what they hope will happen, what you've done wrong, and what you've done right.
"You learn to write a novel all over again every time you write a new one, and that was how I learned to write a Fairyland book: quickly, without fear, and in front of everybody, leaping into the dark and hoping I could land all those triple somersaults."
Like the first book, this sequel follows September, a 12-year-old from Omaha, who is swept into a magical existence ruled by the unpredictable and fickle Marquess. The series has been compared to Alice in Wonderland and The Golden Compass.
Writer Neil Gaiman declared the first book a "glorious balancing act between modernism and the Victorian fairy tale."
Among Valante's books are The Orphan's Tales and Palimpsest. She has won the Andre Norton Award, the Mythopoeic Award, and the Million Writers Award for best web fiction.
The event is co-sponsored by the Reading Reptile.
Admission is free. A 6 p.m. reception precedes the event. RSVP online or call 816.701.3407.

I have to admit I was sceptical at first, but now I've got 7666 Hoth Rebel Base I've grown to love it. It's not perfect (and it could really do with some Tauntauns) but it has many possibilities. You don't need too many extra bricks to make a really neat diorama.
I've taken a LOT of photographs of my mods so I'm going to post up a few at a time. I'd love it if in between my posts other people would post their comments, and any pics of their own Hoth dioramas, especially if they use all or part of 7666.
Part 1: Exterior
The Rebels man their trenches waiting for the Imperial attack.
The door is exactly the same as in the original set, but I used four 1x2 tiles to plug the anoying gaps!
I modified the 7666 gun turret to get rid of the useless missiles and built a second one to go with it. The radar dish here is the one from the 4500 Snowspeeder set. Note the commander sitting up in the observation post, giving him the best view of the battlefield.

Barzegar is chair of the Department of Political Science and International Relations at the Science and Research Campus of Islamic Azad University in Iran. He is also director of the Institute for Middle East Strategic Studies in Tehran. From 2007 to 2011 he was a research fellow at Harvard University's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and in 2002 and 2003 was a postdoctoral research scholar at the London School of Economics.
The author argues that if the Nuclear Suppliers Group wishes to change with the times, it should make its decision-making processes more transparent and transform itself into something other than an exclusive club with a hidden agenda.
The author argues that the squabble about Iran's nuclear program has more to do with the country's stance on strategic and security issues than with its proliferation track record.
The author argues that the main challenge facing the Nuclear Suppliers Group today is deciding how to balance the economic and proliferation aspects of nuclear transfers, all the while without violating its own guidelines or running afoul of its own objectives.
Though the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) may well be indispensable for nonproliferation, its membership of mainly wealthy nations sometimes provokes suspicion in the developing world. Can the NSG contribute to nonproliferation and also remain fair to developing countries?

Havn't been playing around with 1.2, but I have a 1.2-mingus, and yesterday found that my forward slashes ("\") disappears, while the extra slashes people have been talking about ("\'") doesn't show up on my system. I'm using UTF-8.
Now I have to write "\\" to get a slash in my posts, it seems un-intuitive, and if I remember correctly, wasn't so in 1.0.2-blakey.
Is there anything I can do to get it to behave "properly" (if ever there's such a thing...)?

Kayaking is not just for non-motorized paddling on the lake, Make it an adventure! Did you know that kayaking can be more than just a paddle around the lake? Lets go Kayaking! I had no idea until my mom became an avid kayak-er. This is quite the adventurous sport and people all over the country have stepped up kayaking into a 2-3 day even longer adventure. This has prompted me to do a little research. Up till now our kayak trips include a lunch, the dogs, a remote control boat, and an afternoon around our local lake. After watching and learning what my mom does, I'm convinced you can turn kayaking into a vacation if your idea is roughing it, and not a 5 star Hilton. So what do you take on a kayak adventure?
First things first, a kayak. There are several to choose from and 2 basic types. Sit on top and sit in. Ascend Kayaks and Accessories I like my sit-on-top because it's more stable feeling in the water to me, my dogs have more room to walk around, and I can sun my legs, but our sit-in is cooler, since it sits deeper in the water. There are also short skirted sit-ins that are used in white water. I would recommend what ever kayak is most comfortable to you and what suits your all around needs. Choosing a Kayak If you plan to fish, be sure to get one set up for fishing. It will have rod pockets and holders to keep your fishing rods, as well as spots to hold bait and tackle. Be sure to check out our 1 source page for what you should know for kayak fishing. http://1source.basspro.com/index.php/component/k2/81-kayaking/3542-fishing-from-a-kayak
Next is your paddle. I find a longer paddle gives me more reach and allows a more comfortable longer stroke. A shorter paddle gives you a good shoulder work out and is needed for a shorter kayak. This is a formula for the best paddle fit, (paddler height x boat width) and know your angle low or high, average length is a 220cm paddle. Do some research and adjust your paddle as you progress in the sport.
Next is life Jacket, invest your money well on this item! Fit is very important and this is the item that can save your life! I would recommend a life jacket specific for kayaking. It will be more comfortable. Make sure and try them on and sit down and move your arms in paddling motions. You want a jacket that gives you room to paddle and not pinch or rub in your arm movements. They are weight rated, so know your weight, and don't lie on this one. if you go too light, it may not hold you up. If you go too heavy, it may be too big and slip in the water. They also need to fit snug. If it's loose, it may be too big or not adjusted down far enough. You want it to stay in place should you get wet.
Speaking of wet, should you overturn and get wet, you want your gear to stay dry. This brings the need for dry bags. Especially, since this is an adventure, we are taking a lot more gear with us. There are several different sizes and weights. I would pack different bags for different stuff. Example: food and water filter, clothes, emergency, and sleeping gear I would pack in separate bags. This will allow you to only unpack what you need at the time and not everything you brought with you. It will help in packing your kayak as well. You don't have a lot of ample space, so pack small and tight so you can have options of where to stash and strap your gear down. Water tight is what you need. You can skimp and try zip locks and trash bags, but one dump in the water and will be sorry. This may cost you too. You may have to buy all your friends beer for helping you retrieve your items or worse case, all your gear sinks and you know have no shelter, food, or clothes. Now your adventure is over. So be prepared and pack smart.
Emergency essentials. A paddle, first aid kit, survival tool, knife, whistle, light, headlamp, poncho, rope, cell phone or GPS hand held, and batteries, would be in my emergency kit.
Now, let eat and drink! A small backpack style stove works great for kayaking. Jetboil, is the first type that comes to mind and don't forget fuel. This will allow you to eat a hot meal. Pack a nice selection of dehydrated food, Mountain House beef stroganoff is one my favorites and cookie and cream, ice cream for dessert. Pack enough for all your meals out. Energy bars, beef jerky, and compact snacks are great too. Water is essential to staying hydrated, but heavy to pack. So bring a filter and or filter system so you can pack less water, but be able to drink the water around you safely. Sawyer makes a great versatile filter that be used on a bottle, a bag, or in a hydration pack line. Do you research and get a good one that fits all your needs.
Just a few more items. Clothing and hygiene. Personal care and hygiene items to your preference. No rinse body wash, makes a great packable soap. along with other travel size products. Sunscreen and shades. Pack clothes and wear clothes that are versatile. Pants that zip off into shorts, long sleeve, light weight shirts that the sleeves roll up and fasten. Base layers are always a good idea if the weather is in cooler months, spring and fall. Water shoes that allow the water to leave the shoes and wool socks to keep your feet warm and dry. Gloves and a hat will also keep you from getting sun-burnt and blisters on your hands.
Last but not Least, Your sleeping gear. What you invest in and pack can make a huge difference on how well you will sleep. A sleeping bag with the proper temperature rating is essential. Our Ascend 20 degree mummy bag, is a great choice. Packs down small and tight, but will also keep you warm. A compact, self inflating, sleeping pad will help keep you warm and your back happy. Then for shelter, you can do a one man tent or a hammock. The hammocks seem to be the most popular now. They are super lightweight, easy to pack, no poles and comfortable to sleeping. Make sure your not kayaking or sleeping above treeline; that could pose a problem. A bug screen and rain fly are a good idea depending on where you go. Be to be safe and protected than not.
We would love for you to share your photos and read your adventure stories. Do you have any gear on the list, you would like us to cover more in depth on a separate blog? We like to know what interests you, so let us know..

There have always been supermarkets that have offered home delivery of purchases ordered over the phone, but it was always done on an informal basis. The formal home-delivery business, coupled with electronic ordering, didn't start until 1989, when brothers Andrew and Thomas Parkinson launched Peapod. The following year, Peapod began a partnership with Jewel in the Chicago area, where shoppers could order groceries online for the first time, though most still used the phone or fax. Since ...

Skip to comments.Administration supports lesbian employee's case (Arguing to overturn DOMA)
Posted on 07/02/2011 4:34:34 PM PDT by markomalley
In a strongly worded legal brief, the Obama administration has said the federal act that defines marriage as being between a man and a woman was motivated by hostility toward gays and lesbians and is unconstitutional.
The brief was filed Friday in federal court in San Francisco in support of a lesbian federal employee's lawsuit claiming the government wrongly denied health coverage to her same-sex spouse.
The Justice Department says Karen Golinski's suit should not be dismissed because the law under which her spouse was denied benefits the Defense of Marriage Act violates the constitution's guarantee of equal protection.
"The official legislative record makes plain that DOMA Section 3 was motivated in large part by animus toward gay and lesbian individuals and their intimate relationships, and Congress identified no other interest that is materially advanced by Section 3," the brief reads, referring to the section in the act that defines marriage as being between a man and a woman.
Though the administration has previously said it will not defend the marriage act, the brief is the first court filing in which it urges the court to find the law unconstitutional, said Tobias Barrington Wolff, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania.

May God rebuke and pass judgment upon this State (Gen 19 style) if the voters do not correct their error Nov 6, 2012.
The snow ball is rolling down the hill faster and faster.
God help us!
That's ok. When President Palin (or Bachmann, West, Cain, etc.) decides not to enforce Roe v Wade, and states begin to enact their own abortion laws (as they are now), we'll see how much liberals scream.
When morality isn't pegged to absolutes, you get this crap.
Karen Golinski (right) with wife Mary Cunninghis (oh boy!)
(they were married in California when it was legal)
God will surely judge this nation. It's only a matter of time.
God has changed so called sexual orientation but the activists don't want to hear about it.
We should expect THIS radical, Leftist Administration to NOT be working against us!?
Wondering when they ever were working for us.
I'm a woman and even I have to ask: Why are there no hot lesbians?
Here's another one ping.

If the president cannot in good conscience see to it that the laws are faithfully executed he must resign or he is forsworn.
I'm a guy and I just want to know one thing. Which one takes out the garbage?
Funny how real lesbians never look like those on TV or the movies.
They look like the perfect lesbo couple. Relatively unattractive, super smug and will sue the crap out of you if you even look at them wrong.
My son approves. ;-)
Im a guy and I just want to know one thing. Which one takes out the garbage?
Oh, that's obvious. :-)
OK, you lose. I looked her up and she's not a lesbian. She's bi. (Read: Greedy)
I suppose the doj will weigh in on the side of the two queer marines who were arrested for fraud, etc in San Diego.
She divorced her husband and moved in with a chick. Close enough for us pervs. :)
She's a lesbian? A homosexual terminator, go figure.
No matter how many laws the homosexual lobby gets passed, homosexuality will still be perverted and sinful. Laws can't change facts.
Does it really matter anymore? The country, states, local communities and school districts are all jumping on the political bandwagon. Conservatives across the nation are more and more forming their own 'communities'. Look at the home schooling trend. The hell with the government. It's a growing movement. I could go deeper into facts, but, we're underground. The internet is taboo. Someday, we'll win.
Hot women like men and men like hot women.
I don't think they spelled cunnilingus right.
So now Supreme Court Justice Hussein Obama has declared DOMA Unconstitutional and now he is spending taxpayer dollars to help these two fruit boots to gyp an Insurance carrier.
Why are we paying those other 9 a-holes sitting in the Supreme Court Building, if Obama is the Judicial expert and arbiter of the Constitution?
Evidently the Supremes don't mind , they aren't saying a word.
Of course with Obama's two Lesbian appointees I really don't expct them to.
By that logic it is also a violation of the constitution's guarantee of equal protection for congress, the president, judges and bureaucrats to have a better health plan, better benefits and perks, and a better retirement plan than every other citizen.
>> God will surely judge this nation. Its only a matter of time.
I'll judge the Nation now. The govt shouldn't be in the marriage business!
Why do these clowns even bother to go to court? The matter is already decided. The senses of normal people will be insulted and their purses ravished to support the abomination of sodomite ceremonies and the financial consequences thereof.
The Tree of Liberty needs watering.
I posted a comment a month or two ago that stated: It is the Western Christians that ultimately represent and fight for freedom and individual liberties. Nonetheless, as Western Christians, we've assigned an abundance of authority to the govt it doesn't deserve to have, and we're now paying for it.
I particularly don't care about the unions formed by homosexuals. What concerns me is the govt forcing its citizens to support homosexual behavior. To me, that's not unlike forcing homosexuals to adopt Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. The govt should just get the # out of the way, and let the people do their thing in the context of their beliefs. I have a strong opinion on homosexual marriage, but its ultimately irrelevant under the Constitutional framework we should all enjoy.
Just guessing but perhaps because you are only thinking in stereotypes? The sort of black and white one-dimensional view that never considers the Samantha Fox, Portia de Rossi, or Leisha Hailey types.
Of course beauty (or hotness) is in the eye of the beholder anyway. Everybody's mileage may vary.
One accomplishment Milk helped happen;
[Im a woman and even I have to ask: Why are there no hot lesbians?]
The whole male fantasy of two lesbians comes up a bit short in real life, doesn't t!
[Conservatives across the nation are more and more forming their own communities. ]
I'm writing a book on Civil War II. Yup, our side will just go underground in plain sight. It is already happening.
At least there open about being against it, rather than deliberately staging an incompetent defense designed to fail.
If I respected the idea that Federal judges get to dictate the meaning of the constitution I would manipulative them in just such a way. I would get my buddy's to play one side in the case while I play the incompetent defending side.
Is is an optimistic dunce who thinks his rampant far-left socialism is best for America
Or is he very smart, and doing all he can do to destroy this country he hates.
It's as simple as that.
They will do as much damage as possible in the time they have left.
"Is is an optimistic dunce who thinks his rampant far-left socialism is best for America
Or is he very smart, and doing all he can do to destroy this country he hates."
I think it is a bit of both. He is a buffoon (forgetting who he presented the MOH to, etc.) and a trained radical with a plan.
I'm sorry, it's not the President's place to say what is Constitutional and what is not.
Don't even joke about it! He's young enough the next Dem administration could appoint him! He wouldn't be the first ex-president to join the court. William Howard Taft did so as Chief Justice.
It's a, It's a, I don't what that is, Baby.....
obama has to justify these freakshows in order to justify his own behavior
Mary Cunni-What?
You're hitting on the reason it's a choice and not biological. Their unattractive appearance limits their romance, so they gravitate toward one another in sympathy and need. Understandable? Yes. But also debauched and an abomination. As humans, God expects us to live our lives to His service. Our bodies are a gift, and we should live in respect of that gift. That means we have to be strong enough to overcome the base passions we're born with. That's part of our commitment to Him. They aren't strong so give in. They're apart from God.
I know, I'm preaching. Sorry, but at least it's Sunday...

So, maybe we're a little cloud-obsessed over here, but I was talking to a friend about Meredith's Cloud Cake Project, and remembered a related, but simpler, and significantly less sticky, project. Plus, this one requires minimal supplies: construction paper, cotton balls, and glue.
Though this particular project mimics what Meredith already accomplished with her cake, it can also easily modify to include cloud observation activities kids of all ages can do independently.
Cirrus Clouds | Source
By simply walking out our front door, we can observe the clouds in all their glory. Take a camera and pop off shots to download on a computer later, or if it's a pretty day, take a paper and pencil on the driveway so kids can sketch what they see.
Altocumulus Clouds | Source
Depending on their age, as well as sketching, students can write (or dictate) descriptions of what they see. I like to bring in writing skills whenever possible, but if this is more than you want to bite off, just keep it simple.
Stratocumulus Clouds | Source
It may be wise to observe for multiple days letting kids see how the clouds look in different types of weather.
Cumulus Clouds | Source
Depending on how long the project is extended, kids can use cotton balls to mimic what they've directly observed and sketched right above their home.
Nimbostratus Clouds | Source
Visit Wikipedia to observe some beautiful cloud formations; some of which I've never even observed. In fact, last week in the comments, Tulip gave a link to The Morning Glory Cloud, which is amazing in it's own right.
You can also take advantage of the free Cloud Types download from last week, and see how many cloud types can be seen of the eleven included in the download.
