A recent report commissioned by the body representing Australia's union-based superannuation funds has attempted to slaughter one of the investment industry's most sacred cows.
The July 2012 study, published by the Industry Super Network (ISN) and carried out by Deloitte Access Economics, contravenes the long-standing dictum (and universal legal fund manager disclaimer) that 'past performance is not indicative of future returns'.
According to the ISN report, there was a statistically significant link between past performance and future performance among the super funds it analysed over two four-year periods (2004-2007 and 2008-2011).
Matthew Linden, ISN chief policy adviser, said the data debunked the received wisdom that past performance is not a reliable guide to the future.
... this new research, which has been based on rigorous long term data, clearly shows that there a number of factors which do lead to consistent outperformance by super funds, Linden said by press release.
Surveying 90 large (over $1 billion of assets) Australian super funds, the ISN study fund a strong performance persistence over the two four-year periods it mapped.
Of the 30 funds in the top third in the second period, 16 (over half) came from the top third in the first period and only three came from the bottom third. Of those in the bottom third in the second period, 15 (half) were bottom third previously, whereas only six were in the top third, the report says.
... The reason persistence is stronger among larger funds is that persistent differences in performance are due to differences in governance and profit orientation, and these differences increase with scale...
Not surprisingly, the ISN is pushing the case for its own members and the results should be seen in the context of the increasingly bitter battle between the Australian union-based 'industry' funds and the rival retail funds sector.
In this case, past performance is a reliable guide to the future: the two sectors will continue sniping at each other forever.
It's most unlikely, however, that the investment past-performance cow has stopped mooing its old warning just yet.

Oh and another thing. I do not suggest buying the Silver Paint pen made by Sharpie.
I bought it yesterday and made sure it worked before I left for the game. Went to get my Ruddy Lugo GUed jersey to sign. I took the top off to give him the pen and the tip falls out. I felt like an idiot. I had no other silver pens on me. He told me he would sign it when I get a new pen.


text: I am sure some (or all) have heard of this problem, but I need some help because its driving me nuts! I installed a new battery in my wifes 2002 Chevy Tahoe. Immediately afterward, the controls would only blow heat through the defrost setting, no matter what the dial was set to. Also, when I tried the AC the light on the button would just blink and never turn the AC on. Its a real pain in the butt that this happened just from a battery swap!!!

- About Plattsburgh
The primary function of the study abroad and exchanges office is to advise students who want to study abroad. We are often asked about ways to add to the experience of study through working for pay, getting volunteer experience, and participating in internships for academic credit. If you are interested in getting some hands-on experience in your host country while you are studying abroad, read the options below and then come in to see one of our study abroad advisors to discuss your options.
In the U.S., students visiting from abroad are not allowed to work for pay unless the work site is pre-approved and the work is related to their academic studies. While you are abroad you will find the same kinds of restrictions apply to you. When you study abroad you are considered a student, and your entry visa will most likely prohibit you from working for pay in your host country. Many students work extra part-time jobs in the U.S. before departure in order to earn the extra spending money they want to have while they are abroad. Please keep in mind that working abroad without a legal work permit is usually illegal and could put you at risk for immediate deportation.
Giving your time and energy to organizations and people in need is a great way to immerse yourself in the culture of your host country. The best way to make sure you will have the chance to volunteer while you are abroad is to choose a program that incorporates community service in the curriculum. An excellent example of this type of program is the Jamaica Field Service short term program run through our partners at SUNY Potsdam. You can also wait until you arrive at your host institution and talk to your international student coordinator there about student clubs that may perform community service activities.
Internships are a great way to add real-life experience to your academic preparation. Please remember that internships abroad are unpaid and offered for academic credit only due to immigration and labor laws. If you are interested in participating in an internship as part of your study abroad, be prepared to do some research well in advance of your application. If participating in an internship is one of the reasons why you want to study abroad, please make an appointment to speak with a study abroad advisor to discuss your options because several SUNY Plattsburgh programs offer internship options as part of their programs. Typically an internship replaces one course.

Having won three in a row over the traditionally tricky New Year period, the Breakers are wary of letting their standards slip as they prepare for Townsville tonight.
As five of the side recover from illness following last Saturday's 78-76 victory over the Wollongong Hawks, losing to the Crocs - sixth on the table - would be hard to stomach. The Crocs have lost eight of their past nine games against the Breakers.
Dillon Boucher, one who was laid low by the bug, is aware that the Crocs, who have picked up five consecutive wins after a shocking start to the season in which they lost their first 10 matches, could be the toughest test yet as the table-topping Breakers look to seal their best series of results for this time of the year.
Corey Webster was the worst affected by the illness, which also hit CJ Bruton, Alex Pledger and Mika Vukona, but all have recovered ahead of the match at the Townsville Entertainment Centre.
"It was a 24-hour thing," Boucher said. "It started after the game in Wollongong. A couple of guys got it in the middle of the night and it went through a few in the team. Corey Webster was hit hardest by it but he's showed up this morning looking like a box of birds."
Boucher believes the Breakers will need to be on top of their game for their trip to North Queensland, although the professionalism which has helped them to away successes over Adelaide (71-66), Cairns (66-61) and Wollongong should give them a head start.
"This is the time of year when you can fall into holiday mode," Boucher said. "But we've specifically looked at that and prepared for it. We only had Christmas Day off and we didn't really have a chance to get into holiday mode.
"Townsville's record doesn't really do them justice. They've won the last four or five games in a row and haven't lost once since [forward] Luke Nevill has come on board. They're probably feeling pretty good about things now."
They're not the only ones. The Breakers, who have a 12-3 win-loss record and sit above the Perth Wildcats (10-4), are finding ways to win matches they probably would have lost in the past.
One of their biggest obstacles will be Nevill, a former Wildcat, who has said he will look to mark fellow big man Pledger. He knows, however, that the Breakers have plenty of other options, including the in-form Cedric Jackson.
"We don't want to let him [Jackson] get off and get 10 or 11 assists because that's what he does - he's leading the league in assists," Nevill said.
"If we can get it out of his hands and make other guys make plays, I think that will be better for us."

For the truly passionate fans of motorsport with a bit of the folding to spare, the ideal motor-racing trip has been put together.
Next year from May 22 to June 11 there's the opportunity for a select few to head across the Pacific and spend some time in the US sampling all manner of motorsport.
It's not often the chance crops up to pack your bags and head off to watch the Indianapolis 500, a Nascar race and a Formula One race - all in one hit.
In just three weeks you'll get to watch the Indy 500 at the world-famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway, shuttle across to the Dover Downs International Speedway for a bit of good-old-boy, door-banging racing. Finally, it's a short hop across the border just in time to have a gander at the Canadian F1 Grand Prix.
For those who like the idea of experiencing a bit of the local colour outside motorsport, the tour also offers a helicopter trip over Niagara Falls, vineyard visits, a boat cruise, and a Montreal City tour.
You couldn't really ask for a better guide and commentator in Bob McMurray, assisted by Michael Clark, who spent 30-plus years working with the McLaren Formula One team.
McMurray began at the race team when Bruce McLaren was still racing and building cars, and watched the company grow into what it is now. Along the way, McMurray saw the sport change, owners and drivers come and go and more shenanigans than you can poke a stick at.
He was also heavily involved in putting together Black Beauty for Team NZ's A1 GP bid.
You can only imagine some of the stories you might be able to coax out of him around the bar late at night.
Clark, on the other hand, is more of a numbers man. It's been reputed there's not an F1 stat he doesn't have at his finger tips, as well as a warehouse of trivia about various motor racing classes.

The Fiscal Times
Eric Pianin and Josh Boak
"I think it's a very good idea to be looking at 30-year budgets," said Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, an anti-deficit group. "Obviously, we all understand that they are uncertain, and the further out you go the more uncertain. But really you know the main budget problem has always been our long term structural deficit, which is caused by basically demographics and health care costs – some of those long term things."
"So the more emphasis that's put on the structural deficit and less on the short term cyclical deficit, which is getting better, so much the better," Bixby told The Fiscal Times.

Special cat adoption fees
|Haywood Co. Animal Shelter
|245 Hemlock St., Waynesville
|Aug 23, 2014
In an effort to place more cats and kittens in loving homes, Sarge's Animal Rescue Foundation will subsidize the weekend adoption rates for cats and kittens at the Haywood County Animal Shelter, 245 Hemlock St., Waynesville.
The fee for adopting a shelter cat will be $15, male or female, if adopted at the county shelter Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This fee includes spay/neuter surgery and rabies vaccination.
To qualify for this lower rate, the adopter must be willing to send their new pet to Humane Alliance Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic in Asheville. Sarge's will provide transportation Monday and the adopter can pick up the cat at 10 a.m., Tuesday at the shelter.
The Humane Alliance requires all kittens to be 2 months and more than 2 lbs before they will do surgery. If the kitten is too small to go to Humane Alliance, the adopter must pay the subsidized rate of $27.50/male and $37.50 per female and opt for a local vet.
"We noticed when we offered a Friday the 13th special of $13 for black cats at the shelter and Sarge's Adoption Center, many cats were adopted. We are hoping this Humane Alliance rate of $15 will encourage more potential cat adopters to check out the shelter for their new best friend," said Randi Pollack, Sarge's cat committee chair. "The shelter has many wonderful cats and kittens just waiting for their second chance. Hopefully, this weekend adoption fee will encourage adopters to provide a loving home."
To encourage more cat adoptions and less euthanasia, Sarge's currently subsidizes the shelter's adoption fees of $27.50/$37.50. Without this help, cat adoption rates would be $57.50/$87.50.
Sarge's also helps out with weekend adoptions of dogs. The Humane Alliance fee for a dog adopted Friday, Saturday and Sunday is $56 compared to the range of $77.50 - $107.50 fees during theweek.
The Humane Alliance rates will be in effect unless Humane Alliance should be closed on a Monday.
For more information, call Sarge's at 246-9050.

Anybody got any simple mead recipe's they would like to share for 1 gallon batch. Any info appreciated.
If your gettin stung your doing something wrong...
Here's a super duper easy recipe. Made it a couple months ago, but haven't tried it yet.
Augh, can't get the link to work right. Copy and past this:
Last edited by beehugger; 12-02-2010 at 02:39 PM. Reason: corrected link
Thank's for info ill try it .
If your gettin stung your doing something wrong...
The above recipe is similar to Joes ancient orange mead. It is easy to make and very very sweet when done. Here is a link
I used this this recipe, I let it set for almost 2 years, thought I had lost it as the airlock dried out. I filled the lock back up let it set for a couple more months and was sure I had honey Vinegar. I must have cought it in time as it wasn't vinegar.
I tasted it after about a year and it was awful, tasted like an old bandaid or something septic. I talked to a man who said he always put cinamon and cloves in his. I added this and let it set about another year. Its great, I can taste the hint of cloves but not the other.
It's wicked to say the least, the first I drank I don't remember finishing the second glass. For a quick buzz it's almost equal to 80 proof and branch water. For the oldest form of alcohlic beverage, I see how it has endured. No hangover either-maybe I've become immune.
P.S. I used bens brewcat recipe to start.
5 or 6 gal carboy is the best. They are expensive to ship, but if you live in larger city, winemaking supplies stores have all kinds of carboys.
Worthy investment for more serious wine/mead maker.
I am interested in making mead this season. I woul like to make it sparkle. Is there any way to carbonate a modestly sweet mead without a kegging system? Any experience?
Weeeellllll, yes . Maybe.
Ferment to dryness, sweeten to taste at bottling and then pasteurize the bottles in a warm-water bath using timed, controlled temperatures to kill the yeast. Obviously this requires quality bottles rated for pressure like returnable beer bottles or American champagne bottles that are crown-capped, and do it in a water-bath canner or similar coverable vessel.
Same, but instead of pasteurizing do a couple bottles of the batch in plastic bottles. When they're firm (carbonated), put the WHOLE batch in the fridge, causing the yeast to go dormant. Keep entire batch refrigerated until consumed or it'll wake and grenade. Caution: know your yeast. Champagne strains for example are vigorous enough that they may not reliably lay down at fridge temps.
Or bottle a sparkling dry mead and sweeten with honey at serving.
Or beg SWMBO for a kegging setup (preferred method).
Bees, brews and fun
in Lyons, CO
Our wine/mead club recently discussed a "beer gun", which supposedly carbonates your beer, mead, or wine very quickly. I really know nothing more than that, but it's something I'd like to learn more about.
It takes a kegging setup; it's basically an inexpensive counterpressure bottle filler. But all it does it reduce foaming (somewhat) when transferring kegged, carbonated beverage from keg to bottle.
Bees, brews and fun
in Lyons, CO
I don't remember where this recipe came from and I have not tried it yet. All my honey here in middle Tennessee is Wildflower variety. I may use my own honey instead of the Orange Blossom Honey and see how it does. If I come across some good Orange Blossom Honey, I may give it a try as well. Hummmm....sounds like I may need to make two batches so I can compare
Orange Blossom Sweet Mead
Recipe for a 1 gallon batch of mead.
3 pounds Orange Blossom Honey
1 Teaspoon yeast energizer
1 Teaspoon yeast nutrient
5g Cotes de Blanc (Redstar)
Mix the honey, water, energizer, and nutrient in 1 gallon glass jug.
Re-hydrate and pitch the yeast. No boil method used. Used regular tap water, and shook jug to mix and aerate the must. This mead cleared nicely with one racking.
"My child, eat honey, for it is good." (Proverbs 24:13)
Old thread I know, but I just made two (1) gallon batches of the Joes ancient orange. I've got 2 weeks in one of them and about 2 hours in the other. Second batch is foaming like crazy now-prolly hafta replace the airlock with a clean one tomorrow. Got my fingers crossed on the final outcome.


text: Used yes I think that is a bit steep. Closer to $600 would be more reasonable. The 4 mags instead of 2 certainly helps but still a bit high in my opinion. That front sight might of intentionally been removed as some shooters prefer an all black front post to a white or tritium dot although most would simply use a permanent marker to blacken it out instead of removal. If it is in good shape other than the sight I would offer $575 and consider $600 as the top end in consideration of those extra mags.

My sewing room is in the basement and I love it - I have a cutting counter along one end of the room (30" wide by 12 feet long! what frabulous joy!) and a bathroom just off the room - a tv and radio, laundry room and a phone line down there, and a dehumidifier to run in the summer when it gets hots and sticky - not a lot of natural light but lots of overhead lights and lamps make up for it - and a ceramic tile floor, so it's easy to keep clean. It's warm even in winter since there is a radiator in there, and I can look out the window - I am able to indulge my sewer/quilter/knitter etc. hobbies in my very own girl cave. And I can ignore the world if I don't want to be bothered. What could be better?
And BTW, I agree with Vondae, color your world down there with colors that make YOU happy - my walls are a light purple, my cutting counter and machine table are sage green, most of my furniture is white or sage - I can truly say it is the only room in the house where I ALWAYS smile when I walk in. Make it your own little world and enjoy it!

Rodgers just rubs me the wrong way. He's quietly smug.
If you were a Packer fan you would realize he is one of the most humble players there is. He just comes off that way. He isnt arrogant at all. Victor Cruz is arrogant with his salsa dance and trash talking to the 49ers secondary. Antre Rolle is arrogant as well with his trash talking.
trash-talking those *****es in SF is fine with me 'cause the Whiners swag is BS and I dislike most of their players although their LB corps is nice.
As to Antrel, we have to many "quiet" leaders on my squad and if you asked me, Tuck should hand his "C" over to Rolle...wish we had more vocal guys like that on D anyway. (LT, Carson,Jim Burt, Strahan, Armstead, Pierce, Sam Madison, Brandon Jacobs, Bradshaw...)
The belt is no worse than Wilson flipping, Bradshaw spiking, JPP pointing, Tuck bowing, Bennett... unicorning(?) or Hyno... Hynoing.
It's a touchdown celebration, perfectly normal.

I think Kristens picture we're very tastefully and very well done she looks beautiful as usual. I don't know why everything has to turn into the hate fest when she promotes any fragrances even for her movies. this story is dead and buried lets just move on and look forward to the new work they're doing and leave the past in the past where it belongs. I am sick of hearing about this stupid director and this stupid indiscretion please for god sakes let it go…….

KRISTEN IS ONE OF GOD's CREATION WHO IS MUCH BLESSED BECAUSE OF HER HUMILITY. GOD SEES IN HER A PURE HEART THAT DESPITE THE CRISIS SHE HAD, STILL SHE IS VICTORIOUS IN ALL HER WAYS. AND SHE DESERVED ALL THESE SUCCESSES IN LIFE. BEING IN THE COVER MAGAZINES, PERFUME MODEL AND MOVIE CAREER. SHE IS ONE SUCH AN AWESOME, GORGEOUS AND VERY PRETTY WOMAN IN THE WORLD TODAY. AND SHE DESERVED ALL THESE LUCKS!!!!

why is everybody trying to turn this into some kind of a joke? people cheat all the time but discretly because they don`t want to get caught in the act. When you do it in public for the whole world to see, that is entirely a different story. May be the lust they have for each other became so much they didn`t care if it became a public display. The beauty is their significant others are ready to forgive them in silence and let the matter die slowly. The problem, fans won`t let go without some public explanation and apology.

This was not just a mistake. I know she is 22 but not only did she cheat on Robert, but she destroyed a family. Regardless of whether or not the director's wife takes him back, the children will always know that their father had been unfaithful. I know it won't destroy their entire lives, but as they get older they are going to realize that their father humiliated the family. From what I've read, Kristen was close with the children and even took them out on ice cream runs! How do you look a child in the face when you are screwing their married father? She's young, it's ok to have an "oopsie" when you are young. But, when you become involved with a married man with KIDS that doesn't show immaturity, the only thing that proves is that she has bad character and no regard for anyone besides herself. When Robert is thinking about getting back together, I hope he does not only look at the crimes she committed against their relationship, but the all the wrong she did to those children.

kristen didnt destory a family, scumbag RUPERT DID.he said he was taken by her looks n acting. hes the one who lost out at the endLOLOLOLOl. he had kristen under his spell!!!!!!!!then i wonder if rupert n libery started all of this to get noticed. before this NO ONE had even hear of either one.now liberty is on the catwalk in nyc hummmmmm . rupert now is getting scripts hmmmmmmmm.what a terrible way of getting noticed here.

I hope he speaks up!
Posted at 2:21 AM on August 13, 2012
I really hope Rob speaks up and says something this week about all this in defense of himself and even Kristen. Tells people to mind their own business and let them work this out on their own terms and in their own time. It's really no ones business but their own and all the cheating talk really needs to stop. He could shut that down completely by saying point blank he's never been a cheater with any of those women and their working on getting past Kristen's own indiscretion right now. That doesn't mean they'll get back together but at least they can try to forgive and move on as colleagues/friends again. I hope his team advises him that would be the best thing to do for BOTH of them right now, or if not he just does it on his own. He's always kind of done that and not followed what his handlers said to do anyway. He's been his own person. That would nip this all in the bud. Period.

It's obvious that there is a lot of envious women out there who are using Kristen's mistake as an opportunity to take revenge for the dullness of their repressed boring sex life. She is young, beautiful , talented and successful and so be it! She made a mistake and so everyone does.. I wish her all the best and many more successes. I think she should be cast in the shades of grey female character.. She now totally has that sexy and adventurous persona about her..
Posted at 11:34 AM on August 14, 2012
ummmm, no. That's not it. Those who paid attention didn't like her before, the way she always acted better than everyone,made excuses for her bad behavior, gave the finger to the camera, would talk down to Rob in interviews. I wish her nothing but what she deserves and will get. Ridicule and shame. Maybe she'll learn something. Either way, Rob dodged a bullet. Keep going Rob! BTW, notice how everything she is wearing is SO non revealing, trying to do some damage control Krissy? NOT working. Patooey in your eye!

All this couple really needs is for everyone to get out of their personal lives so they can work it out on their own. People are always saying how horrible it is for the media to be all up in their business, but then they sit here and gossip about them. Shut your pie holes people, remember the rule: if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Ok let me break this down for ya. She obviously was good enough for Rob to love her, which he still does BTW. She may have a mind older than her years but I am 27 years old and married. I made the same mistake she did, it just wasn't publicly displayed. My husband was hurt, and we took some time apart, but we are now back together and stronger for it. It is obvious she feels bad about what she did, and is trying to reconcile with Rob even if just to be on friendly speaking terms. So why don't you look at everything and start thinking with your mind and not our overly jealous hormones.

yep that is the pose Sanders and Stewart pull off in the car.. .. while her head was pushed up against the window. think about about it.. where do you think his hands were??? His chest was on her chest.. Where was those hands. Talk about 50 shades of Gray..all you need to do is go down to the local Hollywood sign and watch her..
Posted at 4:06 PM on August 15, 2012
The car is 6 ft. long, from dashboard to rear door. Take away 12 to 15 inches for Kristen's body,,
now a six ft. tall Rupert has to fit in less than 4 ft., 9 inches, have space to unzip his pants,
put his hands on her and kiss, all in approx. 4.5 ft. His legs had to be hanging out of the rear
door. His brain could not have been functioning two different areas, stay in the mini cooper and
making out….

I'm not going to be quite as harsh as some, but I'm starting to wonder if she has some unhealthy boundary issues with older, creative male authority figures, which will not serve her well if she doesn't get a handle on it. She seems to have difficulties leaving her work at work, and has said as much herself several times.

Think about it people this girl is human just like he is one error and you banish her stone her wipe her off the face of the earth all because she cheated on Rob. There is a lot more hurt out there and Kristen Stewart is not the blame

The politics of division as practiced by lame-duck president George W. Bush at the connivance of his onetime Svengali Karl Rove are not dead.
Democrat Barack Obama's decisive national victory over Republican John McCain certainly dealt a body blow to those who would pit whites against nonwhites, the native born against immigrants, the haves against the have-nots, and those who practice their fundamental right to worship as they choose against those who exercise their equally constitutional right not to worship at all.
But anyone who doubts that the politics of intolerance and inhumanity are alive and well need only to look to California, Florida, and Arizona, which voted to deny same-sex couples the basic human right to marry that couples of differing genders enjoy. The Taliban would be proud.
The situation in Arkansas is even more dispiriting. Voters in that state went so far as to mandate that only married couples can adopt children or serve as foster parents. Since heterosexual unions are the only couplings recognized in Arkansas, voters removed the possibility that straight singles could adopt in order to bar gays and lesbians from becoming parents or guardians. Pity the children.
While the same-sex-marriage bans in Arizona and Florida (the latter, for good measure, also outlawed civil unions) undeniably hinder the just cause of civil rights, the vote in California was most significant.
In May, the Republican-dominated California Supreme Court issued a ringing declaration establishing that couples of the same gender had the equal right to marry as those of differing genders. "An individual's sexual orientation — like a person's race or gender — does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights," the court ruled.
California voters thought otherwise. Although the state went overwhelmingly for Obama, voters allowed the state constitution to be amended in order to outlaw marriage for gay and lesbian couples. In a predominately multicultural state like California, it is difficult to pinpoint the constituent groups responsible for the defeat. But the effect of African-Americans who approved the ban by a margin of more than 70 percent is difficult to deny.
The irony, of course, is bitter. The same day that a black American was elected president for the first time, his fellow citizens denied the dignity of marriage to same-sex couples. What a country.
Equally undeniable was the opposition of religious groups to same-sex marriage. The Mormon-led movement was joined by Catholics and Evangelicals Protestants who decided that the teaching of Jesus Christ to love your neighbor as yourself need not apply in California — or, by extension, to the rest of the nation.
Thanks to these holy rollers, California enjoys the dubious distinction of rescinding a set of rights for the first time in American history. And make no mistake, marriage is a bundle of rights that encompasses more than a formalized recognition of love and affection. Marriage rights extend to a host of issues that include property, a couple's mutual well-being, inheritances, and, in case of critical illness, perhaps even life or death.
(In 1996, Bill Clinton signed the federal Defense of Marriage Act, assuring that same-sex couples would remain ineligible for spousal benefits under Social Security, Medicare, or any other federal benefit program reserved for married couples, irrespective of individual states' allowing gay marriage. In order to assure those rights nationally for same-sex couples, that law would still need to be taken off the books or overturned by the Supreme Court.)

Small Children and Rx Poisoning
Most small children who are poisoned by an adults prescription medication do not get it from a secured cabinet but rather from a purse, countertop, sofa cushion, floor or other easy-to-see place in the house.
The medications that are dangerous enough to send a child to the emergency room usually belong to a mother or grandparent according to a report released by the non-profit group Safe Kids Worldwide, based in Washington D.C.
Kids "are getting medications from Mom's purse and Grandma's pillbox," says Rennie Ferguson, a researcher for Safe Kids.
Ferguson examined 2,315 emergency department records on children 4 years old and under that were compiled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in 2011.
67,000 children visited emergency departments in 2011 after accidental exposure to one or more medications.
The report notes that such cases have grown by 30% in the last decade amid a growing number of prescription and non-prescription medicines in the home. While ER cases dropped slightly between 2010-2011, the difference was not statistcally significant.
Where are children finding unsecured medicines? When examining the cases, the researchers noted that when a source was recorded:
- 27% came from the floor or had been otherwise misplaced.
- 20% came from a purse, bag or wallet.
- 20% had been left out on counters, dressers, tables or nightstands.
- 15% came from a pillbox or bag of pills.
- 6% came from a cabinet or drawer.
- 12% came from other places.
The medications belonged to adults in 86% of cases, the report adds. Moms (31%) and grandparents (38%) were the most common sources.
Because small children tend to put anything and everything in their mouths, an accidental poisoning can happen quickly while someone is distracted or out of the room.
The new data suggests that small children infrequently get into medications that are properly stored.
Many times people think they will forget to take their meds if they do not see them. If you have small children in the house, or ones that visit, store the medicines in a secure cabinet and set your watch or cell phone alarm to remind you to take them.
Make sure you do not leave medicines in a coat pocket or purse where children can find them. Also, you should speak up and ask that medications be stored away when your children visit the homes of grandparents, other relatives or friends. If you feel awkward in bringing up the subject, you can always mention that your child is at a very curious stage where they get into everything. It's absolutely true small children are curious about everything and they seldom understand which things are dangerous and which ones are not. It's much better to be safe than sorry.
If you think a child has taken a medication that is not meant for them, the best thing to do is to call the National Poison Help Line at 1-800-222-1222. The line is open 24 hours a day.
If your child is exhibiting acute signs of being poisoned call 911 first.
Symptoms of poisoning may include:
- Seizure
- Stop breathing
- Change in cognitive abilities
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Drowsiness
- Stomach pain
Check to see if you can find any loose pills or bottles around the child so you can determine what he or she has taken.
Prescribed medications can be necessary and effective for a host of illnesses or conditions. Many households have at least one prescription medicine in the home at all times. But there are many things parents and other caregivers can do to minimize risks, says Kate Carr, Safe Kids president and CEO. The first is to store medications out of sight and out of reach " "up and away" in the catchphrase of an ongoing medication safety campaign led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Up and away, easy to remember - easy to do.

I've posted about closed cell foam clothing before but I'm posting again just to show you my latest shape for upper body coverage. Photos first.
Features/Specs (in no particular order)
(1) The garment shown is made from 2 flat pieces of 1/8" underlayment closed cell foam taped together along the top except for the head hole opening.
(2) It is about 3' wide at the shoulders and 2' wide at the bottom and each piece is about 3' long from top to bottom.
(3) All edges are taped to reduce tearing.
(4) Garment weighs less than 5 ounces (foam plus tape).
(5 Garment is multi-use and also serves as part of my sleeping pad.
(5) Garment replaces my raincoat, an insulating layer and a rain skirt so I figure the net weight savings at something like 1.5 pounds.
(6) This garment insulates even when wet.
(7) It is really easy to make and cheap. We are talking a few minutes and a few dollars.
(8) Wind breaker goes over everything and keeps things in place. Garment conforms to my body somewhat as I wear it and heat up.
(9) If I get too warm I can easily vent things quickly by opening front zipper of wind breaker.
(10) I've been using various foam garments for backpacking for several years.
(11) This particular design has only been tested working in the yard over the last couple of weeks with good rain, some wind and low temps around 40F.
(12) This is a fragile garment. Thicker, tougher foam and/or fabric backing would be more durable. It is fairly well protected inside the windbreaker so my own bodily movements are its greatest threat.
(13) I sweat more than average so I'm always damp/wet. Closed cell foam is the lightest way for me to keep reliably warm . It may not work or be of value to you.Apr 10, 2013 at 8:34 pm #1975143
Daryl, i like the thinking outside the box, and it sounds like it works great for you. Certainly cuts down a lot of weight and expense.
Have you ever tried working with the micro-perforated "breathable" foams? If so, how did that go, was there any noticeable difference, or not really?Apr 10, 2013 at 8:48 pm #1975147

Daryl, I always enjoy how you think outside of the box. Have you ever tried this same idea with neoprene? It should be tougher and the stretch will be nice.Apr 11, 2013 at 7:26 am #1975270
Yes, I've tried neoprene. I bought a hooded coat made of thin neoprene. It is used by scuba folks as a warm up coat while out of the water.
It works fine and, like you say, is very durable but neoprene is heavy. It weighs about 3.5 lbs and negates all the weight savings.Apr 11, 2013 at 7:36 am #1975275
I've tried Insultex. Is that what you are referring to? I didn't think much of it. Here's a link to a previous post on the subject:
I use perforated neoprene booties on my feet. They work well but the material is too heavy for a larger garment.
The vest I've shown in this post fits loosely and hangs between the windbreaker and my body. Warm wet air can escape under the arms and up the neck hole so things don't get as wet as you might think.
DarylApr 11, 2013 at 2:13 pm #1975411
Hi Daryl, yes i believe that is what i was referring too. I couldn't remember the name of it. Too bad it didn't work better. I wonder if there is other stuff besides it though.
I kind of see what you mean. I like trying various different systems, just as when i have time, i often have several books going at once. So who knows, maybe in the future i will try out the foam system too–at least a vest like the one in this thread. I would have to be in some serious cold and/or rain to hike in anything significantly warm, breathable or not. Do you still bring puffy insulation for camp and sleep, etc?Apr 11, 2013 at 6:30 pm #1975492
"Do you still bring puffy insulation for camp and sleep, etc?"
Not usually. A 1.5 pound closed cell float coat has replaced my puffy insulation (typically a fiber filled coat), my rain jacket and a portion of my sleeping pad.
The garment in this thread and some of my other experiments are aimed at making something that will reliably replace the float coat at a lower weight.Apr 11, 2013 at 6:46 pm #1975502
Ah, i see.Apr 12, 2013 at 5:39 am #1975690

@topshotLocale: Midwest
My experience with using that underlayment foam is that it really is pretty fragile. While it's nowhere near as cheap and not quite as large, you might play with a 40×76 piece of 3/16" foam from Oware for $32. It's quite flexible and more tear resistant (and very warm for the thickness). Just a thought.Apr 12, 2013 at 7:21 am #1975721

Agree that underlay foam for laminate flooring is feeble stuff.
Packing sheet foam is more robust; stuff like JiffyFoam, for instance. I use bits of pink anti-static aerated polythene packing sheet for sit mats, and my current piece has been going many years. If has a more robust surface layer than underlay foam.Apr 12, 2013 at 8:23 am #1975739
Michael and Kevin,
Thanks for the foam tips. I'll check them out.
DarylApr 12, 2013 at 2:00 pm #1975898
Michael and Kevin,
I checked out the two foams you recommended and both have properties that could help me in my quest.
I have some foam that is similar to each and I have another dozen or so types (hundreds of square feet) that I haven't tried yet. So, for now, I better hold off on future purchases. I'll keep these in my hopper for future use if needed.
Thanks for the tips.

@needsabathLocale: Outside
have you tried sewing inserts for the pad to go into? might help the durability? but would add weight.Apr 12, 2013 at 5:10 pm #1975979
Bogs and BergsMember
@islandizedLocale: Newfoundland
I'm sure you've seen/tried this, but — the underlay foam that has a mylar sheet bonded on one side?
I've successfully made a winter sitpad/tent floor R-booster out of this stuff. The mylar seems to improve the durability of the foam as well as the warmth. You've inspired me, Daryl, I'm now considering a vest, maybe with a velcro tab closure…hmm, pretty lightweight bit of just-in-case gear, for sure. I've even got some adhesive aluminum tape lying around to hold the thing together. Then I could leave the signalling mirror home, too, just wear it shiny side out and start dancing… :)Apr 12, 2013 at 7:55 pm #1976055
Yes I've tried the insert route and it can work but it turns into kind of a hassle. I want something that can go on and off easily.
Fully enclosing the garment shown in this thread would require about 2 yards of material so I could do it under 2 ounces. Nylon enclosed garments slip off and on easily so there is an advantage in addition to durability.
Part of the reason I've worked toward a simple design is to allow the easy addition of an inner and outer skin (e.g. lightweight nylon).Apr 12, 2013 at 8:04 pm #1976058
Bogs and Bergs,
I have tried something similar to what you describe. Here's a photo of one:
Once enclosed in my windbreaker it looks like this:
The mylar/plastic covering really helps with rip reduction. It eventually delaminates but so what? Make another. By the way, in case you are interested, I peeled off and weighed the plastic/mylar covering. It adds about 1 ounce per square yard to the garment shown in the photo.
I like this particular foam because it is blue and goes with my eyes.Apr 12, 2013 at 8:21 pm #1976064
Almost every prototype I have made works to one degree or another.
If one can multiple-use this foam item as a sleeping pad and you are already carrying a windbreaker then the net weight of the item is zero.
If you can get it to work for you and you test it sufficiently before taking risks with it you may be able to substitute it for:
(1) an insulating clothing layer and or
(2) a raincoat and or
(3) a rain apron and or
(4) a sit pad
Weight savings depends on what you use now and how you use the foam item.
Or, as Bogs and Bergs suggested, you can use it to supplement your existing gear.
My wife and I were backpacking 10-15 years ago, for example. A heavy cold wet slushy snow started falling. I quickly added a head hole to the blue foam she was carrying and slipped it under her raincoat. It prevented her from losing body heat to the chilling snow.

Chargers vs Broncos Preview
Despite a 34-24 loss at Tampa Bay last week, the Chargers know they can climb right back into the division race on Sunday by beating the Broncos. If you happen to be looking for a site to bet you can do online betting at Top Bet.
"We know next week is as close to a must-win as it gets," says San Diego safety Erick Weddle. "We'll turn around and regroup."
Chargers tight end Antonio Gates had two touchdown catches against Denver in the season's first meeting and now has 80 for his career. Gates needs one more touchdown catch to equal Lance Alworth's team-record of 81 career touchdown catches.
The Broncos are streaking as the team has won four in a row. Last week, quarterback Peyton Manning threw for 301 yards and a touchdown in Denver's 36-14 win at Carolina. Manning's touchdown was the 420th of his career, tying Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Marino for the second-most in NFL history. The victory was Manning's 147th, tying Marino for third all-time.
"This team has improved and we're developing some type of chemistry," says Manning. "We still have some things that we can do better. Any time you can learn a little bit about each other, make some progress and win some games, that's a good thing. But we still need to get better, especially down this homestretch."
The last time that the Chargers took on the Broncos, Denver QB Peyton Manning engined a comeback from 24-0 deficit, passing for 309 yards & 3 TDs for 129 passer rating.

2 years ago, I would have been going into this game with some hope in my heart. But, the past two years has erased any of that hope. I know the players will be up for this game but they have to show me that they can eliminate the mistakes first, then we have a chance. But they can't seem to eliminate mistakes against lesser teams. There will be more pressure on Philip and you know what that means. Maybe if something happens to Manning, I give us a chance.
NICK - That's the spirit...you see, as I have said time and time again, only a true Charger fan has uhhh what they call borderline 5150 or UB plain crazy. You have to be a forever optimist and many of us have cause to drink, as a result of this Team! We have owed Manning before, and we can (and did for 1 half this year), but it will take a full Team effort for a FULL 60 minutes (rarely seen in 2012). I will indeed watch it...I will hope for a win...I will drink excessively to ease the potential pain...my wife (unlike Pete's) will enjoy my pain with me (you see she is a Philly fan so you know how proud she is this year)! Oh, and I will wear my "colors" all day...but a loss will all but seal our fate for the year...so if River's says "this may be a must win", he is grossly understating the obvious. After all, weirder things have happened...and Donkeys fly like pigs! So Bolt Up brother..be proud, because you are one of the legit psychotics... a.k.a. 5150 (crazy) to be a Charger's Fan!!
yes this game is a must win. again. see at some point you just have to toss all reason in the toilet an say, WTH. the chargers have the ability to win this game. And we know, when there backs have been up against the wall, they responded. they need to respond now. All this talk about having peytons' number, well that was on another team, with a different charger squad. So is ever we need to get that number, now would be a good time to dial it up.
Arnie...Bolt Up today...it is all or nothing today!!!
RH! Good stuff. I'm meeting with my most loyal Charger fans today for the game, at another buddy's of mine's bar. 50 cent wings, and some of the best I've had. I'll be enjoying beers, food and hopefully a BIG upset! We all know that in the past, a big win get's us rolling. Maybe a Big Loss will get the Broncos rolling the other way. Who knows. With Mannings leadership and John Fox coaching, they have the ability to bounce back. What we need, is a victory, period! And then a whole lot of F-ing luck!!! Of course, then Norv saves his job. I can say this, the only thing that would make me happy, if we don't win, is waking up tomorrow hearing that Norv resigned. Or fired. Then hope will resurface again!!! But right now, Sunday morning, I'd rather take the win! As my Bolt Hype brothers would say... Bolt Up Charger fans!!!!
Well, Bolt fans, we laid another egg this game but the big-picture is that this may be finally the end of the Norv Turner era. Although, funny, I question if it really is now his fault we're tanking. Phil Rivers is in a funk like I have never seen- I don't know if anyone else has any insight to the issues he has had this year- the INT's, the fumbles- he just looks uncomfortable in the pocket. Is our O-Line weak?? I think the boys are doing a decent job but, maybe I guess Rivers is just having an off-year....
On the brighter side, our defense is playing very well but it seems at times that we just can't get the critical 3rd down stop against Peyton's offense. Also, it has been refreshing to see the emergence of Danario Alexander, a true diamond in the rough that we were able to resurrect his once promising career. He reminds me and shares many of the same talents and attributes as Vincent Jackson- sure hands, great deep threat, and huge (6.5").
This year again has been rough....it gets tougher to be a Charger fan year-by-year. The talent we have is definitely still championship-caliber but sadly, the team as a whole just can't put it together. I trust in A.J.'s personnel moves but the glaring fault of his is his strange ego and why he wanted to break-up the good thing we had going with Marty as head-coach. I don't want to beat a dead-horse again but, I just hope this time around we go after a respected, proven head coach that our players can look up-too..the type of guy who has ice-water in his veins and keeps cool when the goings tough yet, can fire things up and inspire each player to perform beyond their capabilities and expectations...it's not all about the X's and O's but about how much the coach believes and trusts in his players- not just in word but by his coaching decisions and leadership. A.J., are you reading this??? - because John Gruden is waiting..........
there isn't a day when i don't. In fact i don't think it's me that needs to Bolt UP. it's the organization.

Great location with lots of cafes, pubs, restaurants, clubs and easy public transport.
The apartment is located in the famous district of Kreuzberg. While Berlin was divided, this neighborhood was a border area of West Berlin, where the rents were low enough to attract artists, dropouts and immigrants. For this reason, Kreuzberg has been known ever since for its multicultural flair and alternative subculture. After the Fall of the Wall Kreuzberg is now situated in the center of the reunited city.
Night owls can enjoy the legendary `Kreuzberg nights' especially in the area around Mehringdamm, Bergmannstraße and in the Oranienstraße. In Kreuzberg you will find clubs like 'SO36', 'Watergate' or 'SchwuZ': this area has something to suit everyone's taste.
The Görlitzer Park is a beloved summer meeting place for young people. It is just around the corner.
If you want to chill out, the 'Victoriapark' is a popular relaxation area in the western part of the district. Here you will find the eponymous Kreuzberg Hill, from where you can enjoy a fantastic view. During the summer, an artificial stream flows down from the top in the form of a waterfall.
Kreuzberg is well connected to the neighboring districts through the U-Bahn lines U1, U2, U6, U7 and U8, and the S-Bahn lines S41 and S42 (circle line). U1 and U8 are within walking distance.
숙소규정The front house and the first rear building are ordinary Berliner houses.
The neighbors are very happy when it's quiet in the yard from 22 clock.
Smoking is not allowed in the guesthouse. You can smoke in the backyard.
Wifi is free. PLEASE NOTE: Germany is very strict chasing people who download content illegally and apply heavy fines. Please don't! We would like to keep the internet open for our guests.

이 호스트의 또 다른 숙소후기
Simply loved it! :)
Great location and view, nice and very clean apartment, everything worked perfectly. Recommending!
We've had an awesome week in this studio! The location is just perfect, really nearby an u-bahn station and in the neighbourhood there's much too see and experience.
The studio had everything you'll need + a dishwasher! The courtyard is nice for eating.
Very good apartment highly recommended for a complete family
That is great place to stay in Berlin - fantastic view from the window, nice, clean and fully equipped apartment, very good located (just few metres from subway, 1km from Alexanderplatz, few minutes from free parking zone). Hosts were very kind and helpful. Thank you, Suzana and Ivos! Best Regards, Marcin
We have really loved staying here. The location is fantastic, very close to Alexanderplatz and with great public transport connections elsewhere (U-bahn and S-bahn are literally next to the building). Parking is available for a fee that can't be beat in this part of Berlin.
The only downside we can think of was that we visited Berlin when temperatures were around 30 Celsius. The apartment, like almost everywhere in Berlin, does not have AC and it can become a bit too warm if like us you are a winter person not relishing heat.
However for 50 weeks in year it is just perfect and we hope to be back.
This guesthouse is very nice, well located and clean.
I recommand this room!
The room looked just like in the picture, and was just by a courtyard that was really cosy. It was also just next to a small convenience store that held snacks, drinks and necessities - which was nice! The area also held plenty of restaurants with varying prizes, and a train station very close by.
The room was very spacious and even though we shared the bathroom with another room, we never felt it wasn't accessible. But maybe that had to do with the fact that we got up later than they did.
Now, the negatives included the pillows, which were very, very flat and airy in comparison to "normal" pillows in hostels and hotels. We solved this by rolling them for better neck support, but it was still a little bit of a nuisance. Secondly, there was an ant invasion during our two last days. The nights were okay, since most of them retreated, but at one point we had ants on all the beds and the table. I was going to let the office know, but since it was closed every time I checked (it was the weekend) I didn't find it necessary since I slept on the couch instead while my other friends were out of town during that time.
In conclusion, we had a pleasant stay apart from the pillows and - above all - the ants, which probably only was an issue for the people living on the first floor.
Well located--easy access to entire Berlin transit system; helpful host (came and adjusted Wi-Fi set-up); clean. A nice small, local restaurant on the ground floor of the building.
Great apartment! Perfect for a trip to Berlin. Ivos was very helpful, and the booking, picking up keys, and departure all went smooth. We will definitely recommend this apartment!

The PM checks into Rooty Hill ... what do Canberra's "westies" think?
05 March 2013 , 10:07 AM by Elliott Dunn
Much is being made of Prime Minister Julia Gillard living out of a Rooty Hill hotel for the week, as she heads the government's charge to charm voters in western Sydney.
What do Canberra's "westies" - or at least those brave enough to be exercising around the edge of Lake Ginninderra in Belconnen this morning - make of all this? Is it a see-through stunt or a sensible strategy? Would the PM be better off hanging out in Canberra's western neighbourhoods?
Elliott Dunn asked a few Belco locals for their thoughts... have a listen:

I started about a year ago on gathering parts, and with another tax season and refunds it looks like I might be finishing up in the coming months.
I'm in Japan now, and some of my parts are in the US. My friend is gathering up my packages and shipping things to me soon.
Here's the parts list so far:
Helmet: Boba Maker (painted by him)
Flight suit: Lady Sews 4 Us
Boots: MOW
Toe Spikes: Mojo
Armor is all Fett Pride including what not pictured.
Gauntlets, I'm not sure on the maker. Guy I bought them from said bobadiewix painted them.
Ammo Belt: 99centtaco
Sidearm: dankenman
Gloves: GBH
Braids and Cape: Woodman
Not Pictured
Vest: Boba Maker
Girth belt: From Dover Saddlery will be colored by me. (I paid some guy who was doing a run last summer, but he just disappeared. So doing my own.)
EE3: Resin Kit (budget fett) and additional parts from Fett Dad
Shin Tools: Bobby Fett UK
The Rest of the FP armor
Last week I did the knees. My friend had an extra set lying around, so he gave them to me (Thanks Nathan!)
I didn't know where to start with trimming them, so after using Advanced Search I found two YouTube videos that GCNgamer128 made.
YouTube - ABS Armour Trimming I
YouTube - ABS Armour Trimming II
Using electrical tape as a guide worked well, and I probably wouldn't have thought of that and would've had uneven trimming.
For painting I used some silver I had lying around (after priming). I then used toothpaste to mask off the damage. I then sprayed a layer of Tamiya Yellow. I put a little more masking after that dried around some places I had weathered before. I then spayed a few layers of Tamiya Camel Yellow while misting Tamiya Orange in between.
Once that was done I put a matte clear coat on it to cut the gloss down.
To weather I ground up some artist charcoal and applied over almost all of the knees. I made it darker in some spots by applying more. I used the very complicated and advanced application method known as the naked finger. I stuck my finger in the black powder and rubbed it on the armor. I then used my hand and other fingers to smooth things out. A final clear coat and I have these:
I used the same method of weathering on my flight suit. Except I used a giant stone mortar and pestle and ground up a ton of the charcoal then dumped it on my flight suit and smeared it in. I left it out in the rain and threw it around the yard at my parents house last summer. If you saw Hobo Fett at Dragon Con last year, then you saw my weathered suit. I might do some more later too.
The boots I maked off the piping and used a primer gray to paint the boots. I messed up and soaked the boots in the paint and they looked way to dark. In a state of panic I grabbed a mineral spirits or paint thinner of some sort soaked rag and frantically wiped at the boots. I then used artist charcoals to weather and black shoe polish to color the center section. Ta-dah!
I got a ways to go on buying parts. It's mostly just small stuff (jet pack stabilizer, Studs for the shoulders, knee darts, pouches) and a giant jet pack that I still need to get.
Until the money comes in, I'll get off my lazy butt and build the EE3 next, and try to get the rest of my armor to Japan to trim and paint.

Love this product, especially for travel...The bottle is small but lasts awhile. I use SuperGoop exclusively, and have never been disapointed. Feels amazing on the skin, like a thin lotion, not sticky at all. Great for travel when you just want to spray and go. Top locks shut so there are no accidental spills....LOVE IT!!5
I took this with me on vacation to Cancun a week ago.
I really like how non-greasy it is, but make sure to rub it in well or you will get some splotchy sun burn if you don't. My boyfriend was using it and didn't realize he would need to rub it in well. Oops.
I am fair skinned and the SPF 30 was enough to keep me from being burned - although I did take sun breaks.
The only other con is it doesn't last very long, so it's pretty pricey for what it is. With two people using it every two hours for 4 days it's basically gone.

Movie Review: The Imposter
The disturbing true-crime documentary of a sociopathic man and the family who believes he's their missing son.
Director: Bart Layton MPAA Rating: R Studio: Indomina Group
In Bart Layton's enthralling, bizarre and nerve-jangling true crime documentary The Imposter, his older sister, mother and other family members describe the devastating impact of the 1994 disappearance of blond, blue-eyed, cocky 13-year-old Nicholas Barclay of San Antonio, Texas. The family's emotional and psychological toll seems apparent as they choke back anger and frustration in describing their tireless search for clues when the police gave up, their attempts at humor and bravery in the face of tragedy, their speculations about what terrible things might have happened to that young boy. And then, after three years of uncertainty and grieving, the inconceivable: someone claiming to be Nicholas has been found alive — in Spain, of all places.
Sister Carey boards her first airplane to bring home the strange, silent boy, whom she accepts as her brother despite the fact that his eyes are now brown, his hair black, he remembers nothing of his family and he only speaks with a French accent; likewise, his mother also takes him to her bosom. The title of the movie alone tells us that deception is being perpetrated. Right on camera and straight from the imposter's mouth, we're told that this deeply damaged, glib, sociopathic 23-year-old man is deliberately lying through his teeth, exploiting a family's grief by hijacking Nicholas Barclay's identity. The U.S. and international authorities have little choice but to go along with the family's conclusions. Is the family's emotional pain so great that they are blind to what has clearly been a botched investigation by the authorities, let alone a shameless deception by a chronic con artist? Or is the family of Nicholas Barclay covering something even more deeply weird and troubling? That's the fascination and horror of The Imposter, the real-life circumstances and motivations of which are so twisted and absurd that they seem like something Poe might have whipped up for Alfred Hitchcock or the Coen brothers.
A fictionalized, French-made film version of the same case, The Chameleon, was released in 2010 but was trite and dull, something one would be hard-pressed to say about The Imposter. If you're the type who likes your mysteries wrapped up all neat and tidy by the finale, you might think twice about seeing The Imposter, in which the truth is a slippery, shape-shifting and, finally, unknowable thing.

Then two days ago, I stumbled upon this beautiful video from Studio Patro. It inspired me to dust off my tea towels and put them to the test yesterday at the park.
I usually bring a huge spread of food to the park because a.) we usually stay through dinner time and b.) I'm such a show off. I lay out all the food so my kids (or whoever) can pick at in-between swinging on the monkey bars and chasing birds away. Last week I bought a glass jar of olives that ended up braking on the way home because I carelessly dropped my lunchbag on the sidewalk. Instead of trying to salvage everything, I threw the bag, broken glass, and olives in the trash. But not this week!
I wrapped the olives in a tea towel for protection, then used the tea towel as a place mat, then when everyone was done eating, I used the tea towel to wipe my kids faces. I'm sold!
Now I want more. Classic with a Red Stripe? Or
Do you have an item that has multiple uses that your adore? Share! I love tips.

Newberry geothermal project receives BLM permit
Newberry EGS, a joint venture of Davenport Newberry and AltaRock Energy, announced Wednesday that the Newberry Enhanced Geothermal Systems Demonstration has obtained a "sundry notice" approval from the Bureau of Land Management.
The notice allows the stimulation process to create geothermal reservoirs to begin, which is part of Phase II of the Newberry EGS Demonstration. The stimulation is scheduled to begin in October.
AltaRock staff will be available at two local public meetings to explain the project and answer questions. On September 26 at 6:00 PM a meeting will be held at the SHARC recreation Center in Sunriver, and on October 6 and 7, AltaRock will have a booth at the Bend Fall Festival.
The purpose of the Newberry EGS demonstration is to demonstrate AltaRock's new technology, designed to lower the cost of EGS, and thus allow economic extraction of heat from the earth in locations where high temperatures can be reached by conventional drilling techniques but there is no natural circulating geothermal system.
Marking a key milestone in Phase II of the EGS Demonstration, an advanced micro-seismic array has been installed, tested, and operations approved by seismologists from two national labs.
The next step includes the injecting of water into an existing hot well to create multiple reservoirs of connected cracks 6,500-10,000 feet below ground.
Groundwater levels and quality will be monitored before, during and after stimulation.
Once the EGS reservoirs are created this fall, production wells will be drilled to intersect the stimulated fractures and flow tests will be conducted to evaluate the potential for using the EGS reservoirs as heat exchangers to produce electricity in the future.
Phase II microseismicity will be available for viewing on the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory website. Phase II of the project, including drilling of production wells, is expected to be completed by 2014.
"The economic implications of the Newberry EGS Demonstration are quite significant," said Susan Petty, president and founder of AltaRock Energy. "Creating multiple geothermal reservoirs from a single injection well multiplies the amount of energy that can be extracted from each production well.
"Not only do multiple reservoirs extend the life of the well and increase the energy recovery from each well, they significantly improve the economics of EGS power generation. This could allow geothermal to translate into a comprehensive source of renewable energy for the future."
"We are pleased to have obtained approval on our Sundry Notice and are eager to continue with Phase II of the Newberry Demonstration," said Doug Perry, president and CEO of Davenport Newberry. "By lowering the cost of EGS and proving the application of AltaRock's technology to EGS, we are one step closer to sustainably meeting the evolving energy needs of our nation."
Located in the Deschutes National Forest in central Oregon, the Newberry project will demonstrate that EGS is an economically viable source of broad-scale 24/7 baseload renewable energy.
As recently determined by the BLM and the U.S. Department of Energy through a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), the project has met the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and will not significantly affect the quality of the human or natural environment.
The first phase of the Newberry EGS Project involving planning for the well stimulation, environmental studies and public outreach, reached completion earlier this year.
Key participants with Davenport Newberry and AltaRock energy on the project include federal agencies (Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service, and Dept. of Energy), state agencies (Oregon Depts. of Geology and Mineral Industries, Environmental Quality, and Water Resources), government scientific labs (US Geological Survey and Lawrence Berkeley, Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, and Sandia National Laboratories), universities (Oregon State, Temple, and Texas A&M).
About Davenport Newberry and AltaRock Energy
The Newberry Volcano EGS Demonstration is partially supported by the Department of Energy under Award Number DE-EE0002777, with $21.4 million in grant funds from the Department of Energy to AltaRock Energy matched by an additional $22.4 million from the AltaRock-Davenport partnership. The project is also benefitting from the research efforts of faculty and students at the Oregon State University, the University of Utah, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Texas A&M, and Temple University.
AltaRock Energy (www.altarockenergy.com) is a renewable energy technology company focused on the research and development for geothermal systems.
Davenport Newberry specializes in the development and management of geothermal opportunities.
Further information and updates about the Demonstration can be found on the project's Blog (blog.newberrygeothermal.com/) and on Facebook (www.facebook.com/NewberryEGS).

The internal polls that made Mitt Romney think he'd win
The numbers include internal polls conducted on Saturday, November 3, and Sunday, November 4, for Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Iowa, Colorado, and New Hampshire. According to Newhouse, the campaign polled daily, then combined the results into two-day averages. …
The first thing you notice is that New Hampshire and Colorado are pretty far off the mark. In New Hampshire, the final internal polling average has Romney up 3.5 points, whereas he lost by 5.6. In Colorado, the final internal polling average has Romney up 2.5 points; he lost by 5.4. "I'm not sure what the answer is," Newhouse told me, explaining that his polls were a lot more accurate in most of the other swing states. "The only ones we had that really seemed to be off were Colorado—a state that even Obama's people tweeted they thought it was going to be one of their closest states—and the New Hampshire numbers, which seemed to bounce a lot during the campaign." …
Together, New Hampshire, Colorado, and Iowa go most of the way toward explaining why the Romney campaign believed it was so well-positioned. When combined with North Carolina, Florida, and Virginia—the trio of states the Romney campaign assumed were largely in the bag—Romney would bank 267 electoral votes, only three shy of the magic number. Furthermore, according to Newhouse, the campaign's final internal polls had Romney down a mere two points in Ohio—a state that would have put him comfortably over the top—and Team Romney generally believed it had momentum in the final few days of the race. (You see hints of this momentum when you compare the Saturday numbers in each state with the Sunday numbers. Romney gains in five out of the six states, though Newhouse cautions not to make too much of this since the numbers can bounce around wildly on any given day.) While none of this should have been grounds for the sublime optimism that leads you to eschew a concession speech—two points is still a ton to make up in a state like Ohio in 48 hours—you see how the campaign might conclude that the pieces were falling into place.

Can anyone recommend the Amalfi Coast?
Hello all
This is my first post on here. Mainly to get views on the above topic.
I'm planning a holiday to Italy later this year (have already been to Florence and Venice) and we are very keen to try the Amalfi coast.
Having seen Jamies series a few years ago, I remember it looking like a really nice place to visit. My only problem is, I don't know anyone who's been so picking a specific part of the region is going to be tricky without any advice.
Have any of you been? If so, where did you stay and can you recommend any particular town/village?
Many thanks for any advice...

Re: Can anyone recommend the Amalfi Coast?
hi Spesh, welcome! we went to that area on our honeymoon, lo these many years ago, and highly recommend it. We went to Napoli, just to change trains, and stayed in Sorrento, side trip to Pompeii and Herculeneum. We meant to take a hydrofoil ferry to Capri, it was highly recommended to us by people who had travelled extensively in the area, but unfortunately we ran out of time. Aside from an attempted pickpocketing on the train, we had no problems. Hope you enjoy your trip!

Mr Pab - that was exactly what I did on my honeymoon too - many moons ago - but it was not with you!!!
We stayed in Sorrento - beautiful coast and travelled down to Amalfi - scary roads but beautiful. Do visit there Spesh - its beautiful!

Re: Can anyone recommend the Amalfi Coast?
Hi Spesh and welcome here....
Coincidentally I just spoke to a friend of mine (italian) about the same topic on Saturday - I have never been to the Amalfi coast but many other parts in Italy. He is saying do go to Capri it is incredibly beautiful - best months to choose are September / October - not as warm though but best time for prices. July and August too crowded as italian schools are off for the summer vacation as well and families will be vacationing.
He also recommends the islands of Elba and Sicily. Other than that he thinks any town along the coast is beautiful - just have a car and everything is close by and you can reach by car.
He recommends the Amalfi coast for the best food in Italy (and he is Northern Italian) so that should mean something ...

Re: Can anyone recommend the Amalfi Coast?
Thanks for all comments and advice, I think I will look into Villas as there will be 6 of us altogether, I'd imagine a Villa would be more suitable than Hotels or B&B's in larger groups.
I take it the nearest Airport is going to be Napoli?

Re: Can anyone recommend the Amalfi Coast?
Positana, Ravello are a must.
We had triangular pastries filled with ricotta and cinnamon, to die for, in Amalfi. Have tried many times to recreate them but cant even get close.
Clams and spaghetti, just amazing, at a hillside place overlooking the coast.
Drove from Naples, stunning. The whole experience will live within me forever.
I will never forget how beautiful it all was or my then Italian lover.
Capri OK, Sorrento OK, if not a bit commercial though, and no beach as such.
