Foggy Fall Morning
Warm days, cool, cold mornings bring on the fog .....I drove in this morning in mighty thick mist almost missing my turn ... gracious!
This painting was based on a photo reference, but it could have been my drive into work this week.
We're expecting rain today and we've plans to try a hypertuffa garden project with the volunteers this morning since the weather with keep us indoors ....
Hope your day is terrific!

Ooh such a wonderful moody look and colors. I agree with Joan; you do mist so well. You must teach me. I love seeing mist over the mountains!
I won't be commenting on your painting tomorrow because hopefully I will winging my way toward Raleigh! Yeah; it's finally here. Off to do the last minute stuff!
Big hugs,

Institutional investors have started to shun next week's $500m London listing of Fairfield Energy, the North Sea oil explorer and producer, due to fears over a loan and future liabilities.
But Mark McAllister, the Fairview chief executive, believes the company has properly accounted for the decommissioning of the key Dunlin field cluster 500km from Aberdeen.
Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, which has a 30 per cent stake in Dunlin, has given Fairfield a letter of credit for $270m to help decommission the fields in 2026. North Sea oil companies must have sufficient capital in place to cover future decommissioning.
Mr McAllister, who visited potential US shareholders last week, said: "We've had a number of independent reviews of the decommissioning costs and we feel comfortable with them and covered them well in presentations to investors."
But, a fund manager at an institutional investor said: "We're not going for it. They have a large decommissioning liability that would have a big impact on the net asset value if it were triggered."

Malouda back in France fold
Florent Malouda has been recalled to the France national team by coach Raymond Domenech.
Last Updated: 26/05/09 10:20am
Florent Malouda has been recalled to the France national team by coach Raymond Domenech.
The Chelsea winger has not figured in his country's plans since making a cameo appearance during a friendly with Tunisia in October last year.
Malouda has been omitted from the fold since then after expressing criticism of Domenech's reign.
However, he has been awarded a second chance following his fine form at Stamford Bridge over the second half of the 2008/09 campaign.
He will be joined in the squad for June friendlies against Nigeria and Turkey by veteran midfielder Patrick Vieira, with the Inter Milan ace hoping to put an injury-ravaged season behind him.
"I recalled them because one has to be logical, and I am," said Domenech when asked whether turning to two men he has consistently overlooked in recent times represented a U-turn on his behalf.
"If certain players were not included of late it was because their performances were not good enough and those of their rivals were - that was the case of Malouda.
"And Vieira has started playing again after a difficult season. He is the captain of the national side, and if I did not pick him for these two friendlies, then I am not being logical."
France squad to play Nigeria and Turkey on 2nd and 5th June:
Goalkeepers: Cedric Carrasso (Toulouse), Hugo Lloris (Lyon), Steve Mandanda (Marseille).
Defenders: Eric Abidal (Barcelona), Jean-Alain Boumsong (Lyon), Julien Escude (Sevilla), Patrice Evra (Manchester United), Rod Fanni (Rennes), Philippe Mexes (Roma), Bacary Sagna (Arsenal), Sebastien Squillaci (Sevilla).
Midfielders: Abou Diaby (Arsenal), Alou Diarra (Bordeaux), Lassana Diarra (Real Madrid), Yoann Gourcuff (Bordeaux), Sidney Govou (Lyon), Florent Malouda (Chelsea), Franck Ribery (Bayern Munich), Jeremy Toulalan (Lyon), Patrick Vieira (Inter Milan)
Forwards: Nicolas Anelka (Chelsea), Karim Benzema (Lyon), Andre-Pierre Gignac (Toulouse), Thierry Henry (Barcelona), Loic Remy (Nice).

"Murphy was an optimist!"
Help Mia! July 11, 2006 7:31 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeSkip McDonald's today and give Mia $5.00! Mia qualified for the National Junior Olympics in BOTH of her events: the 1500m and the 3000m. She has to pay roughly $2000 to attend the events (that's hotel, food, transportation, etc.).
I find it interesting the small circles we read in. My wife reads Miss Zoot regularly. In the interest of not reading exactly the same thing my wife reads, I have intentionally avoided Miss Zoot. I read The Adventures of Latte Man regularly who yesterday posted a reference to Miss Zoot spurring me to ask, "Why don't I read Miss Zoot?" so I had a look at her two most recent posts only to discover that KristyK, whom I read daily but I mostly didn't read anyone yesterday, is having a fundraiser to get Mia to the races! I would love to do a study on the viral aspect of blog readership.

Americans in Bahrain warned of virus
By HENDRICK SIMOES | STARS AND STRIPES Published: June 11, 2013
MANAMA, Bahrain — The U.S. Embassy has warned Americans in Bahrain about the threat of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus.
While there have been no reported cases in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia — connected to Bahrain by a causeway — has had 41 reported cases with 26 resulting in death, according to the World Health Organization.
The WHO reports that since September 2012, there have been 55 confirmed cases worldwide, 31 of which have resulted in death. The cases originated in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, according to a WHO statement from June 7.
However, WHO officials have not issued any travel warnings for the region.
In a message released Monday, the U.S. Embassy urged Americans in Bahrain to take common sense precautions, such as regularly washing hands and avoiding contact with anyone who appears to be sick.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends all Americans on the Arabian Peninsula "monitor their health" and see a health care provider if they develop a fever and symptoms of a lower respiratory illness, such as cough or shortness of breath.
So far, most cases have occurred in adult males with a median age of 56 years. There have been two cases of children contracting the virus, according to the CDC.
Approximately 6,500 U.S. personnel serve in Bahrain in support of U.S. Navy activities.

The listed cinema group Cineworld is planning a European expansion despite a deal to invest in Spain falling through in September.
Its chief executive, Steve Wiener, said the business is still committed to Europe and has been sounding out various options, but he warned that due to "present economic conditions around Europe we do not know when we will be able to implement our European expansion plans".
In Spain, its efforts to buy Cinesur were terminated but other European countries are being investigated for possible acquisition targets.
Meanwhile, Cineworld continues to expand in the UK, where it has 78 cinemas. Last Friday it opened in Leigh near Manchester and it is in discussions to open 30 new locations across the UK within the next five years; sites in Wembley, Aldershot and Trowbridge are already confirmed. It is also looking for more sites for its new concept cinema The Screening Rooms – a boutique version of the multiplex. Last week it announced that Philip Bowcock will join as chief financial officer from collapsed nightclub operator Luminar.

Former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was able to keep his affair (and love child) with household employee Mildred Patricia (aka Patty) Baena a secret for over a decade from wife Maria Shriver. Were there telltale signs that Shriver could have picked up on or was the "Love Gov" just really good at hiding the truth?

How did you come up with the name for your shop?
"It's my name and it's unique, so that was a snap to come up with! :)"
What inspired you to start selling your products on Etsy, and how long have you had your shop?
"I started my shop in 2008 and I love that there is no pack up and tear down and hauling like with traditional craft shows. It saves me a ton of time and money!"
What makes your products stand out amongst the rest?
"I love bright prints, flannels and pairing up unusual colors with each other. I think I'm pretty consistent through out my shop. I also love useful items, so I try to make each thing I create have a purpose."
How did you decide to get into your craft?
"My mom sewed and taught sewing lessons in our home. I picked it up at an early age and never stopped. I love sewing!"

5 Beauty Must Haves
My best friend Crystal keeps an online journal where she writes about whatever happened or was on her mind that given day...most of it is so funny! She fills me in! She jokes how she is going to make it into a book one day...she totally should, it would be hilarious!
Anyway, the other night she emailed me that in her journal she picked her top 5 beauty must haves and vowed to try and use them everyday.
As stay at home Moms, that's easy not to do...I know I am in sweats and t-shirts 90% of the time! So we thought it would be fun to share our top 5 beauty products with you:
Mark Pressed
Powder Foundation
Mark Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes
Avon Smooth Minerals Lip Gloss
Chi Hair Straightener
Silicon Glove Hand Cream
Clinique Mascara
Blistex Raspberry Lemonade chapstick

As you can tell I use a lot of Avon & Mark...yes I do sell it, but only because I love it & it rocks! Otherwise I would not share it with you!

It won't be like this for long...
This song brings tears to my eyes...
When days at home are hard with a 4 yr old, 3 yr old and 3 week old,
When I have no more patience left and it's only noon,
When my daughters constant chatter is driving me bananas,
When my son is testing me all day long,
When my kids are arguing over whose toaster strudel has more icing,
When I can't even finish a hot cup of coffee,
When my hair is in a pony tail so much I think it will stay without a holder,
When I look down & don't remember the last time I washed my sweats,
When me and my husband have no time to spend alone together,
When my house is such a mess I am embarrassed for anyone to stop over,
When I just can't take it anymore...
I think of this song and how true it is...
It won't be like this for long.
Sometimes it makes me stop & think about how fast time is going,
How big my kids are getting.
And I feel guilty.
Sometimes you just need to slow down & enjoy what you have at
that moment.
Because it really won't be like this for long.
Then I think about this song:
And I cry some more....

DIY Vintage Skeleton Key Necklace
I just love this skeleton key necklace!
It was so easy to make too...
Here is what I used to make it:
I also used a head pin & an aqua bead.
(My pictures of those items did not turn out)
I attached a jump ring to the key & used the pliers to connect it to the chain
Then I put the head pin through the bead and wrapped it around the jump ring
Then I attached that jump ring to the chain so the bead hangs by the key
That's it...and now I have a lovely Vintage inspired necklace:

Colorado Bands To Watch
While the Lumineers continue to bask in the limelight (and deservedly so) there is much more to the Colorado music scene than the song "Ho Hey." In fact, the music coming out of this state is pretty diverse. Have you heard Yo Me & Apollo? Besides in need of a haircut there is not much to complain about when it comes to Brent Cowles and company. Like things a little more abstract? Check out The Morning Clouds and Force Publique. If it's saxaphone and dubstep you crave then look no further than Big Gigantic. Perhaps the hottest band in the state right now, Big Gigantic are on their way to big things.
As always there is tons of great music out there so keep your ears open.

A chicken wing is a terrible thing to waste.
So why do the wings we have in restaurants taste so good, while the ones we make at home tend to be greasy or dessicated? Or greasy and dessicated, which is a feat in itself.
Turns out there�s a trick, and it lies in the same thing that makes restaurant fries so good. You cook them. Then you cook them again.
�I look for two things in a great wing,� says Kyle Itani, executive chef at Hopscotch, the chic Oakland diner with a Japanese sensibility. �First, the crunchiness of the exterior balanced against the moistness of the interior meat. There is nothing worse than a soggy wing or a dried-out wing. Second, how spicy the sauce is, balanced against how flavorful the sauce is.�
So Itani steams the wings first. Then he fries them.
�It�s a double-cooking process. We�re borrowing from Peking duck,� he says. �Steaming melts the skin a little bit. You don�t have to worry about the meat being raw. It�s already cooked through. The frying gets it nice and crispy, but it�s moist inside. It�s like you double-cook fries.�
If you�re anxious about the prospect of deep-frying � especially deep-frying while concentrating on bungled calls and gridiron debacles on the flat screen across the room � Gabe Caliendo, the chef at Concord�s new Lazy Dog restaurant, understands.
�In a restaurant setting, wings are usually deep-fried to order to crisp the skin. At home it is difficult to accomplish this,� Caliendo says. �Also, most people are usually slightly stressed when cooking chicken, as they want to make sure the chicken is fully cooked. Combined with the pressure of entertaining at home, you have the potential for less-than-desirable results.�
Caliendo favors a double-cooking technique for the same reasons � the chicken stays moist inside, crispy outside and there�s no danger of distinctly pink meat � but he suggests using your oven and broiler to achieve a similar effect. He bakes the wings first on a rimmed cookie sheet with a cup of water and a layer of tightly crimped foil so the chicken can steam its way to moist doneness. A final stint in the broiler crisps the skin.
�Tossing them in sauce makes them go soggy faster and limits your guest to one flavor,� he says. Serve the sauces on the side and guests can choose whether they want to dunk their wings in that American classic, Frank�s Red Hot Buffalo Wings Sauce, teriyaki sauce, a blue cheese or ranch-style dressing, barbecue sauce or � Caliendo�s favorite � a Thai red chile sauce.
Itani likes the zip and heat of Frank�s Red Hot, too, but he gives the concept an Asian twist with kochijyang, a Korean chile paste, red miso, charred green onions and fresh ginger.
�It looks like Frank�s, but it isn�t,� he says. �I like heat, but not to the point where you can�t taste the chicken or the nuances in the sauce. Substituting a mix of kochijyang and red miso adds a deeper flavor than Frank�s, and the green onion and ginger add complexity to the dish.�
And, of course, you have to have blue cheese dressing. It�s Buffalo wings by way of Tokyo.
Hosting a Super Bowl party is a juggling act. It can be tough to turn out tasty dishes while watching the game. So Gabe Caliendo, chef at Concord�s new Lazy Dog restaurant, shares a few tips.
Fresh chicken wings
Vegetable oil
Salt, black pepper
Red chile flakes, optional
Thai Red Chile Sauce (see recipe)
Carrot sticks, for serving
Pickled Celery Sticks (see recipe)
Up to 2 days before the party, toss the wings in a little vegetable oil to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper (or chile flakes if you want to really make it hot). Refrigerate covered.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place wings in a single layer on rimmed cookie sheets or baking pans. Add 1 cup water to each sheet pan. Cover with foil, crimping edges to create a seal.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and leave wings in oven for another 30 minutes, which will finish cooking the meat and make the wings tender enough to fall off the bone.
Let wings cool for 30 minutes. Drain juice and grease. Wrap wings with plastic wrap, if you are making them ahead. From this point, it will take 10 minutes to finish the wings and you can reheat them in batches (one sheet pan at a time).
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Place wings, still in a single layer, in the oven for 10 minutes to heat through and make the skin crispy. Set a timer and watch carefully to avoid burning.
Serve with your favorite condiments � such as Frank�s Red Hot Buffalo Sauce, teriyaki or barbecue sauce, blue cheese or ranch dressing, or homemade Thai Red Chile Sauce, carrot sticks and pickled celery.
Note: This sauce can be made 3
days ahead.
1 cup sambal chile paste or 1 cup
Sriracha plus 1 tablespoon red
chile flakes
1 cup white wine vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon ginger, finely chopped
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
In a medium saucepan, bring the sambal, vinegar and sugar to a boil. Reduce heat, add ginger and garlic, and simmer for 2 minutes. Cool completely in refrigerator. Stir in green onions before serving.
Note: This sauce can be made a week
2 bunches celery, cleaned and
cut into 4-inch sticks.
1 1/2 cups white wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups water
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon red chile flakes
1 tablespoon whole mustard seeds
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon celery salt
Place your cut celery into a glass or nonporous casserole dish.
In a medium saucepan, bring all the other ingredients to a boil. Turn off heat; allow to sit for 5 minutes.
Pour the hot brine over the celery. Let cool 15 minutes at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.
Drain the pickles and serve them in small Mason jars spread out around the table.
� Gabe Caliendo, chef, Lazy Dog
12 chicken wings
Rice bran or canola oil
8 ounces kochujang, or a similar fermented soy bean
chile paste, readily found at any good Asian market
6 ounces butter
3 1/2 ounces red miso
3 ounces water
1 bunch green onions, broiled until charred, then sliced
1 ounce grated ginger
Place chicken wings in a steamer set over simmering water; steam until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
Remove the wings and pat them dry with a paper towel. Let them sit and air dry until they are no longer moist to the touch.
Meanwhile, start the sauce. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a large mixing bowl; beat to combine with a spatula or whisk.
In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil to 350 degrees. Gently ease in the dry wings; the drier the wings, the less spatter. The wings are already cooked through, so you are frying them enough to crisp the skin. Once the wings turn a nice golden brown (about 5 minutes), remove them from the oil and drain them on paper towels for a few seconds.
Add the fried wings to the sauce, tossing to coat. Add salt to taste. Serve them on a bed of shredded cabbage with blue cheese dressing.
2 egg yolks
1 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup cr�me fra�che (or sour cream)
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbled
5 mint leaves, minced
5 shiso leaves, minced
10 chive scapes (or chives) minced
Salt, to taste
In a food processor, whip egg yolks; slowly add oil until emulsified. Add the vinegar, buttermilk and cr�me fra�che; pulse to combine.
Stir in the blue cheese, herbs and salt to taste.

Some 17 banks and building societies have been forced to repay £149m of interest and charges to customers who took out credit deals.
The move comes after the Office of Fair Trading ruled that the financial institutions didn't give customers enough legal information about their credit agreements.
The repayments affect some 497,000 customers who took out store cards, credit cards, loans and hire purchase agreements. Under the Consumer Credit Act, a lender cannot recover interest or default charges for any period during which it has failed to comply with statutory requirements.
Customers should be contacted directly by their bank or building society if their agreement was affected. But Richard Lloyd from Which? said: "We'd like some assurances about how lenders will contact people who were affected but are no longer their customers."

Sentimental Sunday: Bonfire
Growing up, I longed for the evenings when my father arrived home from work and was not yet ready to retire from the outdoors. These special evenings meant that we would soon be gathering around an old tractor tire rim in the backyard. My father would fill it with wood and create a fire, while my mother would gather the fixings for s'mores. Us kids would gather benches and camping chairs, excited for the postponement of our bedtime.
Often, we would spend the next hour or two huddled around that tire rim, chatting about nothing of importance, and making tasty s'mores. My favorite of these nights were the nights that we would just sit in silence, no one sensing the need for words. We were nestled deep in our little valley of the Driftless Area and life seemed to stand still. The sun would slowly sink below the Ocooch Mountains and we would watch in wonder as the stars began to shine. I was always in awe of how spectacular that blanket of stars twinkling above me shined.
To this day, these nights are some of my favorite childhood memories. We try to relive them when all of us kids are home, but the mystery is no longer there. There is always something to talk about and we are always checking our phones. Even the s'mores have been replaced by plain old marshmallows and beer. But even with all these changes, these nights still represented the most important thing my parents ever taught me: that we are to seek out and cherish... our time with family.
6 comments:
I think this is a marvelous example of what a "Sentimental Sunday" post can hope to accomplish. I felt both the delight of your childhood perspective and the poignance of the struggle to recapture it. You motivated me to look up where the Ocooch Mountains and the "Driftless Area" were, too.
Thanks!As the creator of "Sentimental Sunday", I must concur with the comments of others. This was one of the goals of the theme - to encourage bloggers to write about special memories of family members or family events. This is a beautiful, and quite sentimental post. You are luckly to have a family that enjoys spending time together. (I could tell that already from your tweets, anyway.) Now, I want some s'mores!!!
RenateI love it! What wonderful memories. I want so much to create those memories for my children too! I cannot believe how distracting technology can be. One of the "best" weeks our family has ever had in a way was in the days following hurricane Ike in Sept '08. No power. The kids played, neighbors stood in the street and talked, and we spent time together as a family. Thank you for sharing your memory. I could hear the crackling of the fire and see the blanket of stars! Night, friend...

Garmin 2010, GPSMap 740 and GMR 604 xHD first looks
Garmin may have lost its bid for Raymarine last week, but, as noted, there's plenty of evidence that it's building a daunting marine electronics line on its own. Check out the little GPSMap 740s and the big GMR 604 xHD (pedestal) above for examples of growth in both directions. It's hard to imagine getting much more MFD into a casing less than 9 x 6 inches and under 2.5 pounds. Meanwhile, all that cast aluminum in the radar base contributes to a heft of 46 pounds, not including the 12 pound array. Which is actually 4' 3.5" wide, but still fit on Gizmo's antenna mast...just. Yup, both are now installed on the boat, along with a Garmin 5212 and a skeleton N2K sensor network. My dash board projects are not quite ready to show off, but the testing season has begun...
Let me say right off that the 740 is fabulously fast, which is a bit of a surprise given that it's positioned as an "affordable" alternative to Garmin's fully networked touchscreen MFDs. And that's particularly good news as the smaller a screen is, the more an operator is apt to zoom and pan around it. The 740 is also full of interface features that will make some 4- and 5000 series owners jealous (at least until they show up in a software update for those machines). For instance, there's a new, and much more powerful, routine for setting up data overlays on the various chart screens, and also "combination" screens. As shown in the shots below (which are now easy to make), this particular design is #8 in a series of choices which can also include route navigation data if you're using one (I wasn't). Any of the 9 data designs (including "none") can be assigned to any screen type, and most of the data fields on each design can be changed globally if you want. In other words, there's a pretty simple way to get the data you want, but you can also tweak pretty deeply if that's your style. (You can read more about this feature on page 51 of the very complete manual, downloadable here, which is also nice surprise.) At any rate, while I've just started to get familiar with the test unit, I already suspect that the 700 Series hits the sweet spot I thought it might.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see some bigger boats using a 700 as an adjunct to a bigger system. The various engine, wind, etc. screens (best seen here) means it can function like a super size GMI 10. And I've seen already that it networks well via N2K, sharing the GXM 51 satellite weather/audio receiver and other sensors nicely with the 5212, and even updating itself when I applied the newly simplified Marine Network card update system to the bigger MFD (though it's not listed). Heck, we even switched the Ethernet plug from the big radar to the little 740 and it all worked fine, though the latter's little screen didn't seem to have enough pixels to show all the empty Outer Harbor mooring buoys seen below (sorry for the poor focus). I've had even less time with the 604 xHD, but so far, so good. I don't know if it was blind luck, or clever programming, that let me pick the one moving boat amongst all those targets on first touch, but I do know that the Marpa calculations on this and a few other targets seem to be spot on. It will be interesting to see the full color version of this radar imagery on a GPSMap 7212 that I hope to try eventually (and compare it to last summer's experience in the same areas with other radars). The on-the-water testing season has begun (though I still have lots of install projects yet to go).

Real Salt Lake closes on MLS West leadBy The Associated Press , Associated Press
Jun. 9, 2013 1:21 AM ET
SANDY, Utah (AP) — Real Salt Lake moved within a point of the Major League Soccer Western Conference lead by winning 3-1 at home against Los Angeles on Saturday. Olmes Garcia scored twice in the final 10 minutes to secure victory for RSL. Khari Stephenson scored late in the first half for the hosts before Landon Donovan equalized before halftime for the Galaxy. Garcia headed home a cross from Javier Morales in the 84th minute to put RSL ahead, and then the two hooked up again two minutes into stoppage time. Morales sent a through ball into the center of the box. Garcia latched onto the pass and buried it inside the left post to assure RSL of the three points. SEATTLE SOUNDERS 3, VANCOUVER WHITECAPS 2 Lamar Neagle ran onto a pass from Obafemi Martins and scored in the 81st minute, lifting Seattle over Vancouver. he Sounders took a 1-0 lead in the ninth minute through an Andy Rose goal before Camilo Sanvezzo scored a pair of first-half goals for the Whitecaps. Servando Carrasco converted a penalty in the 70th minute to bring the home team level before Neagle netted his fifth of the season to win it. CHICAGO FIRE 2, PORTLAND TIMBERS 2 Chicago substitute Daniel Paladini scored on a 26-yard free kick in the 82nd minute to salvage a point for the Fire against Portland. Chicago came back from 2-0 down. In the 68th minute, Mike Magee knocked the ball into an empty net. Portland's goals came from Diego Valeri in the 34th minute and Ben Zemanski in the 58th. The Timbers are unbeaten in 12 games dating back to early March. NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION 0, D.C. UNITED 0 New England was held to a draw by lowly D.C. United, which notched only its sixth point in 14 games. The Revolution is unbeaten through its past five matches and has gone 395 minutes without conceding a goal. D.C. United failed to score for the third straight game and is winless in its past 12. © The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Stylus for the HTC Flyer will set you back $79.99
0. phoneArena 09 May 2011, 10:14 posted on
If you plan on snatching the HTC Flyer once it's made available, and you really want to use that optional Stylus for its fancy Scribe technology, you're going to shell out more than you think for it. In fact, you can pick...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. snowgator (Posts: 3602; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
Add in shipping and tax (which more and more states are adding their little pennies to as well) and you are looking at close to 100$ more added to the cost of the Flyer. Ugh. HTC- kinda cold hearted on this one.
2. celljrod (Posts: 82; Member since: 07 Apr 2011)
I am a fan of HTC, but this is a fail in my opinion. The Scribe pen was the one thing that differentiated the Flyer from other tablets. Not including it with the Flyer purchase is a fail of epic proportions.
3. MalakiMills (Posts: 257; Member since: 15 Jun 2010)
I was actually reading on a few other sites about this and they state that this is just an additional option, such as if you lose the one that comes with the Flyer, or want on for a different tablet. But yes, they say that the HTC Flyer does come with one.
4. ryq (unregistered)
one reason for the success of ipad and iphone is you dont need a stylus. htc flyer may sell well but i doubt the pen will especially if htc plan to sell it seperately.
5. Nine1Sickness (Posts: 333; Member since: 30 Jan 2011)
I'm really starting to get tired of all these articles on the HTC Flyer's Stylus being "ridiculously" expensive, priced at $79.99. With the features it brings to the tablet, it's well worth the money.
6. celljrod (Posts: 82; Member since: 07 Apr 2011)
I agree that it's not ridiculously expensive, but at the same time, if the stylus is not included in the initial purchase HTC will lose sales as people will not want to pay the initial cost for the tablet and then another 79.99 for the stylus. If that is the price to get a spare/replacement and it will still ship with one then all this bickering is pointless.
11. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
I think that Asus is going to see even more demand now that HTC has biffed it on the flyer. I just hope they (Asus) have got their supply channel sorted out. Cause if they can supply, the demand will be there.
Interesting how at $450 the sales take off, but at $500+ they don't....

Why did I keep the one I did when it's not much smaller than the new one I got – but is slightly fatter and holds one less round? The easy take-down? The de-cocker?
Update: There's a gun under there but you almost wouldn't notice.
Here you can see the contrast in size of the Sig P245 trigger guard.

Sig P2220 Mainspring Struts 1989 vs. 2004
At the time I announced an #InstallationFAIL upon the Sig Slim-Grips I had purchased I received some feed-flack from a know-nothing fanboy who derided my choice of purchase venue: eBay.
But they were the Full-Factory Original Thangs – just not at factory price$ that I can't afford.
The mounting problem stemmed from an unannounced (to me anyhow) Sig modernization and manufacturing change, from the old steel mainspring-strut to something rather different.
Anyhow the old grips fit but new ones didn't and here's a closer examination and visual explanation of how and why it worked (or didn't).
The rear profile of the old grip is noticeably fuller to accommodate the old-style strut, and the new "Slim" grip is unable to maintain that voluptuous contour.
Floppy Holsters?
Given the recent caution about floppy holsters, perhaps more specifically slide-holsters, these two thumb-strap models are still that which I have most recently acquired for carrying-around the house: one Galco "Fletch" for the 1911A1 – a similar holster is coming for the 4-inch S&W K-frame. It's basic, retention-strap stuff…:
With the thumb-strap in place the 1911A1 can be carried in either Condition 1, 2, or in Condition 3.
And I picked-up a Gould & Goodrich three-slot for the P220.
The P220 in the G&G doesn't seem like much of a concealment gun or holster at this point, but that really may just be an issue/evidence of how marvelously thin by comparison the 1911A1 really is.
The P220 with a rail is still seeking a holster – the railed forward serrations hang-up on the G&G and resist drawing. Also it has a rail and therefore needs a light. Supposedly.
Several bloggers have recommended Comp-Tac and pdb posted about one that allowed him to tuck-in his Glock with a light. Talk about filling your pants!
I have pretty much abandoned the dual-purpose Galco Pancake holster I used at GBR-IV, it's just not as secure as the belt-held ones.:
Maybe I'll find a way to convert it to use as a hard-mount on my roost-protector. There are screw-type things on the back that allow the paddle to be removed and re-screwed in a fixed location.
Around the house I notice how cold the guns are, and how much I am not used to them. I have been "practicing" with a godawful cold Leatherman tool. I don't usually wear much body-stuff, I quit wearing a wrist-watch several years ago and don't adorn my belt with cellphone and keys and that kinda crap – hell I don't even usually wear a belt if I can help it. I'm not as enamored with the whole Batman Utility belt thing as I once was, but I better get used-to it…
Sig Slim-Grips Win! Nitron-ST
I removed the rubber Hogue grips and installed the Sig slim-grips that didn't fit on my other Sig, the 1989-year P220. They fit perfectly on this model.
The previous owner had a cat. I brushed out the spring and crevices.
This one has the "Nitron" finish on a stainless steel frame, so it's also noticeably heavier than the other, aluminum-framed P220. Recoil shouldn't be much of a problem as long as I grow Popeye arms.
The rail is a point where more weight can be added. Pretty soon it will be so covered in pistol-bling you won't be able to pick it up. I'm thinking a light would be cool, I can't afford a light/laser combo.
Sig Slim Grips Fail #2 Fix
It would be nice to get this information from the manufacturer's own product description instead of another site, but I guess that's why we have the Internet. I don't know if these guys have filled out the requisite forms to be classified as an "Authorized Sig Dealer" since they're just some Interwebz site selling "factory replacement grip panels."
At less than half the price from Sig and the same cost with shipping as the ones on eBay, I should be suspicious and require hand-holding by an Authorized Sig Dealer since my own experience is deemed inadequate to determine the optimal requirements of a Porsche oil-change – in any language.
But this is the second data-point I've gotten for the following information as opposed to one single experience, weighted by opinion:
These grips will not fit properly if you have the old style metal mainspring seat. Will fit P220's with the new style black plastic mainspring seat.
And I've got a 20-year old Sig/Porsche – time wounds endlessly, and so too the viper tongue of youth – and it inflicts engineering changes besides. However since I'm a highly skkilleted professional despite having not even Uno job, let alone Zwei, I believe there is a way to deal with the too-long screws and the 0.055″ offset.
In the first case the thickness can be reduced by half – that's your 0.055″ there.
In the second you can see in my old grips what appears to be a toothed or serrated lock-washer (epoxy actually, nonm-removable). They/it occupies a portion of the depth-cut for the screw-heads, since you don't want the heads seated below flush anyhow because then they become crud-collectors, and prevents the screws from seating too deeply, as in the deep-cut holes of the "slim grips." (bottom pic)
I believe this would allow the backside of the grips to form together in a seamless joint. It's the mainspring seat at the bottom that pushes the panels apart. Forcing them together only produces the wedgie-joint.
The problem remains that the grip is the primary and first interface with the gun, and its integrity should not be compromised – which might happen here, but since I have already begun to saw away at the tensile fabric of the grip and cannot return them, I might as well carry on…
Sig Slim-Grips – Fail
I had an issue with my grip on the Sig as far as how desperately I could put a clench on it. The gun felt just a bit full and rolly-poly to me compared to my 1911A1 (and I always figured I had big hands) so I looked around for solutions.
Sig Slim Grips! They arrived in a standard blister type hang-packaged enclosure with logo, lettering and cardboard that appears genuine. Since I bought them on eBay they may be clever fakes made in China by slave-labor.
But I don't think that's the case, the seller has a good reputation and a large inventory. I believe they are factory replacement, and as the legal caveat on the back says, "A qualified gunsmith may need to install this (sic) part."
First up select the screw-driver bit that fits perfectly, then un-do the grip panels. Part NEXT: Replace the old ones…Uh waitaminute, the grip screw penetrates through the frame now.
Since the thicker panels aren't holding it back it extends into the magazine well. Obviously the screws are now too long – the magazine doesn't like it and won't go in or out.
Meanwhile the left side grip isn't quite lining up. The top screw hole places the magazine release cut-out in a tight fit, and cants the bottom screw off to the right. We can fix that. Grease pencil and Xacto knife to the rescue! Still the results are not real promising even with the screws tightened-down well into the mag-well.
The inner edges pin against each other and flare outward in a v-shaped gap. The inner edge where the grip panels meet impedes on each and needs to be shaved back so they don't present such a wedgie – and the grip screws need to be relieved of about two full threads so they don't penetrate into the mag-well.
As it stands in the picture (left) the magazine cannot be employed at all. If the grips screws are not fully turned-in they leave a gap that displays the hammer spring and strut – and would allow debris to accumulate and tie-up the gun – not an option.
So what now?? I dunno. The gun feels more grippable with the slim grips, but I need to do a bunch more work if I want to get them to fit. And the grip screws need to be shortened by at least two threads.
In stock configuration with the grip-screws cranked down tight they still don't penetrate into the mag well at all. The slim grips at Sig are not advertised or described as requiring shorter grip-screws and the package does not list them as included either, but they seem very necessary.
Regular grips with stock-length screws that don't impede into the mag well fit nicely together with no gaps, wedgies, or misalignment.
What seems clear to me now is why modern polymer-frame gun manufacturers are emerging with grip-frames that are designed with removable back-straps and other bits and pieces to suite various sized hands.
It's easier than re-fitting grips that are a bit wobbly or incompatible without further modifications, sanding and filing and all that old-style craftsmanship.

Sig Dating Codes
If you're gonna date a Sig you have to know where to look, it's not under the dressy dustcover or a hidden acrostic in the Serial Number – but you do have to look up underneath.
So mine's from 1989, the first Presidential Year of Bush '41 – the youngest pilot then in the Navy when he received his commission in 1943 – and who flew a TBM Avenger off the carrier deck of USS San Jacinto during WWII, flew 58 combat missions, received the Distinguished Flying Cross, and got three Air Medals for his efforts.
And later he didn't totally suck as a President nor was he in the Johnson Administration. But he's almost my dad's age.
Hell, he could have owned one of these.
The year is 2009 now, so it's an old gun – there are kids who were born and damn near finished College already – and girls-gone-wild who got pregnant and had kids since this was made.
Damn I'm startin' to feel all creeky-old.

The toll in four deadly blasts Thursday in Pakistan -- three in Quetta city and one in northwest Swat district -- has risen to 116. At least 235 other people were injured in the bombings by extremist Sunni Muslim group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, media reports said today.
The first blast in Quetta, capital of the southwest Balochistan province bordering Afghanistan and Iran, took place around 3.50 pm. The bomb hit a check-post of the paramilitary force Frontier Corps in Bacha Khan area, killing at least 12 including a corps member and injuring 50.
The bomb was fixed under a chassis of a vehicle parked nearby. An estimated 25 kg of explosives were used in the bomb, bomb disposal squad officers said.
The blast left a two-feet-deep and eight-feet-wide crater on the ground.
As many as 13 vehicles were destroyed in the blast. The explosion also caused damage to nearby shops, offices and homes.
About two hours later, a blast hit a preaching centre in Mingora town of Swat in northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, 115 km from Islamabad.
Hundreds of people had gathered inside the preaching centre for Friday prayers when the explosion went off, killing at least 22 people and injuring 65 others.
Initial reports said it was a gas cylinder blast, but officials later said a bomb was planted in the basement of the centre.
Around three hours later, deadly twin blasts hit Quetta again within a space of few minutes.
The first one -- a suicide blast -- hit a snooker club on Alamdar Road around 8.50 pm.
Bomb disposal squad officers said an estimated six to seven kg of explosives were used by the suicide bomber.
As police, rescuers and mediapersons rushed to the site, another bomb fixed to a vehicle parked nearby went off.
Police official Mir Zubair said that 81 people were killed and 121 wounded in the twin bombings.
Among those killed in the twin blasts, there were nine policemen, 25 rescue workers and two mediapersons.
An estimated 100 kg of explosives were used in the second blast.
Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, an extremist Sunni Muslim group banned by the government, has claimed responsibility for the twin blasts.
President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf strongly condemned the attack and directed the authorities to provide the best possible medical treatment to the victims.
The provincial government of Balochistan has announced a three-day mourning for the victims and a compensation of Rs 2 million ($20,300) each for the killed policemen and Rs 1 million ($10,150) each for the other people who lost their lives.

Street Party (TV series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article does not cite any sources. (December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
Street Party was a music video program on MTV that aired Friday nights between the years 1989 and 1992. A companion show to Club MTV, Street Party aired dance videos. Unlike other genre shows like Headbangers Ball and 120 Minutes, Street Party was more of a video block that's length changed each week from 2 to 4 to even once 24 hours. VJ segments are reported to have been taped on the Club MTV set. In 1992, MTV lost interest in dance music and cancelled both Club MTV and Street Party, as well as removing dance videos from general rotation both on MTV and VH1.

YORK, Pa. (AP) — A central Pennsylvania man has been convicted of first-degree murder in the death of a toddler for whom he was baby-sitting two years ago.
Jurors deliberated for about 4½ hours Thursday before convicting 39-year-old Aric Woodard of York in the November 2011 death of 2-year-old Jacques Twinn.
York County prosecutors, who are seeking the death penalty, allege that Woodard beat the boy while looking after him at a York home.
Defense attorney Joanne Floyd argued that it wasn't clear when the injuries were inflicted or who inflicted them
After jurors left the courtroom, Woodard faced prosecutors, clapped his hands and said "Good job, good job."
Jurors will return Monday to begin hearing arguments on whether Woodard should be sentenced to death or to life in prison without possibility of parole.

New interim Go International collection
With the remaining Rogan Gregory inventory now on clearance, it looks like Target has a new interim (read: in between the name designers) collection for their Go International line. And it looks to be…ho, hum, boring. I mean, this look (pictured) is cute and all, but hasn't the puff-sleeved jacket been done to DEATH by now? And with Richard Chai's designer duds looking to be a downer as well (read my post tomorrow and you'll see why) I'm not sure WHEN we'll have any stylish designs to look forward to at Tar-chez.

The role of pecuniary external economies and increasing returns of scale in the theory of increasing returns
Sandilands, R.J. (2006) The role of pecuniary external economies and increasing returns of scale in the theory of increasing returns. In: ESHET Conference, 2006-04-01.
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
This paper investigates some issues relating to the phenomenon of increasing returns: (1) What is the role of economies of scale in the theory of increasing returns? (2) Do pecuniary external economies lead to market failure and justify intervention in the market mechanism? (3) Are increasing returns sector-specific or generalised, and if they are sector specific, is it possible to identify and promote these sectors from a policy point of view? We argue that economies of scale are incidental to the broader phenomenon of increasing returns and therefore cannot adequately explain their existence. On the second question, we argue that the presence of pecuniary external economies is characteristic of a well-functioning market system rather than an indication of its failure. Finally, increasing returns are generalised, so that policies intended to identify and promote specific sectors will tend to distort intersectoral relationships. Sector-specific polices should not be based on the logic of increasing returns, but should aim to correct sector-specific handicaps.

Eat your daylilies!
Please! Let me dine vicariously on your daylily patch (...um. That sounds...). But I don't have the space for them on my terrace. And some people take them for granted and some think them a pest.
But! The roots are delicious. They are tubers, long and fat, and very crisp when snapped. Raw, they taste like sunchokes (Jerusalem artichokes). Dig up a clump, shake off the soil, wash, and slice. You can cook them, too, obviously. And: the buds. Very nice raw in salad, sliced longways, perhaps. A gentle vinaigrette. Or steamed! The flowers...when they have faded. Are considered a delicious vegetable, sauteed...
I beseech you: eat some dayliles. Take pictures. Send.

So pleased to have encountered your blogsite – recommended by a friend who knows me well enough to know that I'd love it.
Spot on, he!
Full disclosure: I'm the proud water-bearer for a container garden situated in a sun-drenched Parisian courtyard.
Thank you for the tip on daylily roots.
— Hyssop Oh...yes. Thank you, Learned Leader. I'm also debating whether to fully realize my crackpot alter ego and beg for some from a nearby clump.
Eats shoots and leaves, me.
Hyssop - I have some on the terrace. Hyssop, that is. Sun-drenched Parisian couryard. Now that's just...sigh.
Sigh. And it's just time for my croissant, which I have't got.I have tons of daylilies I um, borrowed from the field across the street. They grow around the base of what used to be an old barn along with some roses and lilacs the town mowing crews seem to have a personal vendetta against. Maybe I'll harvest some buds and roots from over there so mine can bloom in peace.
ReplyDeleteI'm betting Melanie's tiger lilies are the same as these daylilies, Marie... I first learned that daylilies were edible from a Chinese roommate...they're the "golden needles" in hot and sour soup and moo shu pork. Didn't know about the tubers being edible, though! You could easily grow some of the little guys (like Stella de Oro) in a pot, or even a couple of the the big wild orange ones...
ReplyDeleteI have a couple. I planted a garden for a lady in PSlope who wanted her yard to look like a roadside in Maine and daylilies (orange) were the cue.
Eating? Hmm. I always thought the Italian fresh pasta cavatelli was modeled off the daylily bud, just before opening. So they always looked tasty to me, I imagined them having that same texture. MMMM

With International Medical Corps' help, Libya continues the transition from conflict to rebuilding. International Medical Corps has shifted attention from Emergency Medical Care to rehabilitation services for the injured and disabled (or those born with disabilities).
In addition to providing support to hospitals and clinics, International Medical Corps also worked with local groups for the disabled to strengthen the capacity of leadership, host community events, and provide vital information on health care and well-being.
One such group, The Blue Eye, was established in April 2012 in Jadu, Libya, to address the needs for people with disabilities in the Western Mountains.
"We said to ourselves that the situation has changed, and now we have a free Libya. Disabled persons need their rights, but before they get their rights, they need to know them and demand them," says Anwar, one of the Founders of The Blue Eye. In addition to the capacity-building activities, International Medical Corps also trained senior members of The Blue Eye and provided the organization with tool kits and training to manage home modifications and home assessments for construction of ramps and accessible entrances.
"Our aim was to empower these organizations in the Western Mountains by providing them with the tools and knowledge about standard measurements for building ramps and modifying home entrances as part of their field work with the disabled persons in the Western Mountains," said Fadi Daccache, International Medical Corps' occupational therapy specialist.
This is just one example of International Medical Corps' work in Libya. In 2013, International Medical Corps will continue to provide support to Libyan health facilities for rehabilitation and related medical and community activities. We thank you for your generosity, and hope you will continue to support our efforts in Libya.

Florida Marlins Close In On Jacque Jones
Jones is looking to get back on the field as soon as possible, and the Marlins make a lot of sense, considering they have had interest in him since July of last season.
Jones saw a huge drop in power from 2006 to 2007, leading to him being traded in the offseason. He was batting .165 with one HR in 24 games for the Tigers this season, but the Marlins hope a move could jump-start his season.
Jones typically does not get off to the best starts, as he usually heats up in July. That was the case last season, and I'm sure the Marlins would like him to help lead the Marlins to a surprising first-place finish.
His agent, Damon Lapa, denied a comment on the deal, but said there are still other teams in on Jones' services.
A deal should come by early next week.

Last week I said history was dead in the Gulf South Conference. I stand by that statement today. This isn't the GSC of the last ten to twelve years. Those of you failing to see this are looking with fan-colored shades. Take them off and realize that there is a different mood in the conference this year.
Instead of confidence that we will see one of these programs ride deep in the playoffs we are left hoping. Hoping is something we haven't had to do a whole lot of in the GSC. The
The names of programs in transition mean nothing. History is dead. Things are not what they used to be in the Gulf South Conference. That is what we found out last weekend.
GSC teams went 4-2 to open the season. The way the two losses occurred has to have created concern. How much concern is up for debate. This week's power rankings shouldn't come as too much a surprise. Keep in mind, who each school opened with and that program's talent level is a major factor this early in the season.
Time to find out what the Gulf South Conference has this week. There is so much unknown in the conference this year. 2012 will mark the first time we embark on a season without a clear cut favorite. For years it has been all about Delta State, North Alabama and Valdosta State.
This year Valdosta State has the deepest roster. West Alabama has the most known commodities. North Alabama has the most legendary coach. Delta State has a mix of old and new. West Georgia is considered a decent

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Rawlings Sporting Goods Co. has brought suit (complaint here) against competitor Wilson Sporting Goods Co. for giving a Wilson® baseball glove with "metallic gold-colored webbing, stitching and lettering" to a major league player -- Brandon Phillips of the Cincinatti Reds -- who has won the "Rawlings Gold Glove" award in the past but is an endorser of Wilson rather than Rawlings.
Every baseball fan has heard of the Gold Glove awards given annually to 9 players from the National League and American League, respectively, for their defensive prowess. Some fans may not be aware, however, that the award was associated with a company. The award was apparently instigated in 1957 by Rawlings and is officially known as the Rawlings Gold Glove Award. (That's certainly how Rawlings and the official site of Major League Baseball both refer to it.)
Rawlings gives winners a trophy made out of a golden colored glove:
Although Rawlings owns incontestable federal registrations for word marks such as GOLD GLOVE, GOLD GLOVE AWARD and RAWLINGS GOLD GLOVE AWARD, it cites only common law rights for the "trade dress embodied in the distinctive famous gold-colored baseball glove that forms the centerpiece of the world famous Gold Glove Award." Rawlings claims that it also gives winning players a "functional baseball glove" that "includes metallic gold indicia on the glove itself." Whether the players actually use these gloves, and how visible and recognizable the "metallic gold indicia" are to the public, will be good topics for discovery in the case.
As many readers will know, attempts to trademark colors of products have a long and storied past, ranging from the 1995 Supreme Court case involving Qualitex's green-gold dry cleaning pads to the more recent case involving Louboutin's red colored shoe soles, covered in our blog here. In this case, an added wrinkle would seem to arise where a color is commonly associated with excellence (i.e. gold medals) and with awards. The Golden Gloves for boxers, Golden Globe awards for the film industry, and the Golden Spikes for the country's top college baseball player all come to mind, and a search on Google.com reveals a host of more or less obscure awards involving gold-colored items. When a player wears a glove with gold webbing, stitching, and lettering, is he arguably sending a signal that he is both excellent and flashy? And if he is also more specifically implying that he is a Gold Glove-caliber defender, where is the harm in that if it's true?
Rawlings will have to try and prove that the gold-colored glove Wilson gave to Brandon Phillips will cause people to believe that Wilson, not Rawlings, is the sponsor of the Gold Glove award. Survey evidence would seem to be the key to this dispute. It will also be interesting to learn whether Rawlings has ever run advertising or promotional campaigns in which it called attention to the "metallic gold indicia" on winning players' gloves.
