Wayne's World all over again.
Trip Start Oct 06, 2004
324Trip End Ongoing
That was until I got an e-mail from a very good friend. Roy Khantatat (Khan) is a childhood friend from back home in Elverum, Norway, and he happens to be the vocalist in a melodic power metal band called Kamelot. And this particular weekend they were playing in S�o Paulo, so after promising us backstage passes and free beer, how could we resist?
We thought that just getting into the heart of this humongous pile of concrete would be a nightmare, but instead it turned out to be extremely smooth
Roy promised my brother and me that there would be entrance tickets and backstage passes waiting for us at the door. But when we arrived, we had a bit of a problem explaining our intentions. At least the guys at the ticket booth didn't bother to look for our names on the guest list, instead they just gave us two of the most expensive tickets to the show. Ok, that was easy, but how do we get backstage? We asked another guy for the backstage passes, and he pointed us down in the basement. Down there we met a few more security guards, and we just told them "Kamelot, backstage???", and on we floated. Maybe it was our Gringo looks, but nobody actually paid any attention to us before we were inside Kamelot's own little den. So much for security, although I really wanted my own personal backstage pass to show off. Look at me guys!!!, just like Garth Algar and Wayne Campell in Wayne's World, when they are lucky beyond belief to get backstage passes to go see Alice Cooper. Backstage passes or not, the feeling was much the same back there drinking free beer, booze and mingling with the rock stars and roadies..
I have only seen Kamelot once before, at a small club concert in London. This time however they were the headliner for a big concert at Via Funchal in the Vila Ol�mpia neighborhood. Power metal is not the music I typically listen to, but when your friend is singing for 3000 crazy headbanging Brazilians, it definitively takes the genre to a whole new dimension. And then I must also admit that the band is very professional, and that Khan got a fantastic voice. One of the very best in the genre for sure. A Dutch band called Epica warmed up the audience, and they seemed to impress a whole lot. In fact I doubted that Kamelot would be able to do a better job than Epica, but I was of course terribly wrong. I think they have come a long way since the concert back in London a few years ago, and I actually got goosebumps during several of their songs. The audience went totally nuts as well and seemed well happy. Kamelot, you got a new fan, well my brother says two actually!!!

This is a wonderfull appartment. The beds are good, the space is very nice, the kitchen is really great. Accept that the balcony is too small to sit on with a chair, there is really no single negative comment to say about this place. It is in de middle of the (old) towncentre, and it is a great start to discover the beautifull stuff in Valencia. We had a really great time.
Very nice, modern, clean and complete apartment. Juan waited for us and gave us the directions and highlights of the city. The kitchen was also very complete with kitchen equipment.
The location of the apartment was superb. Very near to the central market, ideal for visiting Valancia.
The host was very friendly. We received detailed information regarding apartment location, and things to do in Valencia. Also, several times we were in contact (both through Wimdu and Whatsapp) to communicate about arrival times and our flight number. This all resulted in the fact that Juan called our name as soon as we entered the street. Perfect timing!
The apartment was very tidy, very decent in size. Everything we needed was there. Our 2.5 year old boy slept in the provided baby bed.
All in all, we had a great time in Valencia, and this apartment was one of the key factors of that succes. Ideal for a small family who wants to visit Valencia!
We had a great stay at Juan's apartment! Very clean, perfect location in between à metrostation with a direct line to the airport and the nightlife area. The apartment had a good bakery, metro and supermarket nearby. Juan gave us some good advices where to go in Valencia. And, with three girls, the big mirror in the bathroom was very welcome ;-) Good beds and wifi. We will definitly spread the word.
The apartment was great and fully equipped. Juan Antonio even arranged enough coffee-pads for the coffee-machine ! We stayed with two adults and one baby (20 months) which was excellent because there was one big bedroom and one separate small bedroom! The location is perfect, close to the mercat-central, el Carmen and so on...
If I should mention one small thing; sometimes you hear the neighbors when they where cooking and went to bed (reasonable times)...
Besides that the service of Juan Antonio was great; he took some time to explain where to go and also the check-in and check-out was just like planned.
So after all; a good place to stay!
For us it was a great pleasure to stay in Juan Antonio's place. It is very nice, very clean and Juan made us feel at home. The communication before, while and after the stay was perfect. We can warmly recommend Juan and his appartment to our family and friends
Very nice apartment, perfect for three people.
I recommend it if you want to live the city center during the day and at night without necessarily take public transport.
The owner is friendly and very helpful indeed.
This appartment is perfect. Good location, you can easily walk to the city centre and metro or bus station is just arround the corner.
The appartment has enough space for three persons and is equipped very well.
Juan Antonio is a very good host. He is a very nice guy and very helpfull.
This appartment was perfect for us and we will definitely come back!
Really helpful and warm host, lovely clean apartment and in a really convenient location. Thank you Juan for a lovely apartment. Annie and Kate .
Let's start with Valencia, greatest city, clean, compact and good travelling. Alcatrava's architecture is breathtaking beautiful, and the city completes it all.
Juan's appartment? Feels like home! With detailed eye, comfy and in the heart of the city! Angel Guimera on a few minutes walk, Central Market too (must see), in a short...We loved living like a local! Thank you Juan! You have a great appartement and your warm hospitality makes it more than worthwhile! See you next time!!!

International Rescue Committee
Original post made by JasonBuzi, Palo Alto Hills, on Feb 28, 2013
IRC or the International Rescue Committee founded at Albert Einstein's request in 1933. The organization's thrust is to respond to the worst humanitarian crises in the world and help people survive as well as rebuild their own lives.
Disaster as well as war refugees receive help as well as lifesaving care from the IRC.
Expert traveler Jason Buzi is volunteering with an Iraqi Christian refugee family through IRC and donating to them.
The International Rescue Committee is present in 22 cities in the US as well as over 40 countries. They help those who are displaced and struggling and help restore their dignity, hope as well as safety.
Their Commitment
The IRC is committed to be on scene within 3 days or 72 hours with needed supplies as well as expertise which would protect individuals who are caught in the middle of chaos. They will stay where they are needed as long as they are needed and help in the healing, recovery as well as rebuilding of the communities of the survivors. Hundreds of thousands of refugees have been helped by the IRC in the US.
Their Impact
The International Rescue Committee is all about long-term solutions. They want to boost local capacity as well as self-sufficiency. They likewise promote human rights, accountability and participation in their innovative programs.
Donations Used Wisely
Their efficient financing department utilizes financial support wisely and the organization is consistently a recipient of charity watchdogs as well as respected publications' high marks. 90 cents of every dollar donated is used for programs as well as service which directly help communities and refuges that are displaced by disaster or war.
Be Part of the Solution
Like expert traveler Jason Buzi, you too can help the International Rescue Committee continue their mission by making a gift, attending IRC events as well as advocating for change. You can do fundraising for the organization or work with them as an employee or volunteer, like Jason Buzi. Social networking is also a big help. You can campaign for IRC and help spread knowledge about their admirable work in crisis situations.

Here's the trailer for Spielberg's Lincoln.
I cant wait to see this. DDL is a great actor.
That looks terrific. DDL is one of my favorite actors.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in everything right now it seems.
For sure, he's come a long way since Third Rock. He is really a good actor.
The voice needs to be a tad deeper for me to buy it. I do think he pulls the look off.
From what I've read, this is pretty close to what Lincoln sounded like. High pitch and nasally.
Awesome! I can't wait to see this. I've actually been waiting to see the trailer so thanks!
My brain can't even fathom how fantastic this will be.
Where are the vampires?
I think it looks terrific! I'm looking forward to seeing it.
When do the aliens attack?
What is this all about? New movie or TV show...? First I've heard of it.
I'm looking forward to seeing this movie.
Its a movie and suppose to be released in November 16 this year.
"Lincoln's voice, as far as period descriptions go, was a little shriller, a little higher," says Holzer. It would be a mistake to say that his voice was squeaky though. "People said that his voice carried into crowds beautifully. Just because the tone was high doesn't mean it wasn't far-reaching," he says.

The wife and I, visited the Lincoln museum in Springfield this summer, I just had a tad deeper voice of his, in my head. Sounds like I am an inaccurate interpretation on it though. I will watch the movie.
They were filming parts of that down here in my neck of the woods. It was quite a big deal for this area.
Trailer looks great and with the cast, I'm hoping for big things.
Oh. Okay. Thanks!
This will be fantastic. DDL looks so much like Lincoln its crazy.
Keep the politics out of the thread...
I'm confused?
Where are the Vampires?

The data on marital status and marital history were derived from answers to Questions 20 through 23. The marital status question is asked to determine the status of the person at the time of interview. Many government programs need accurate information on marital status, such as the number of married women in the labor force, elderly widowed individuals, or young single people who may establish homes of their own. The marital history data enables multiple agencies to more accurately measure the effects of federal and state policies and programs that focus on the well-being of families. Marital history data can provide estimates of marriage and divorce rates and duration, as well as flows into and out of marriage. This information is critical for more refined analyses of eligibility for program services and benefits, and of changes resulting from federal policies and programs. Before 2008, the marital status question was asked of all people. Beginning in 2008, the question on marital status was asked only for people 15 years old and over. People 15 and over were asked whether they were "now married," "widowed," "divorced," "separated," or "never married." People in common-law marriages were allowed to report the marital status they considered the most appropriate. When marital status was not reported, it was imputed according to the person's relationship to the householder, sex, and age. Differences in the number of married males and females occur because there is no step in the weighting process to equalize the weighted estimates of husbands and wives.
Never Married
Includes all people who have never been married, including people whose only marriage(s) was annulled.
Ever Married
Includes people ever married at the time of interview (including those "now married," "separated," "widowed," or "divorced").
Now Married, Except Separated
Includes people whose current marriage has not ended through widowhood, divorce, or separation (regardless of previous marital history). The category may also include couples who live together or people in common-law marriages if they consider this category the most appropriate. In certain tabulations, currently married people are further classified as "spouse present" or "spouse absent." For federal definitions, "now married" does not include same-sex married people even if the marriage was performed in a state issuing marriage certificates for same-sex couples.
Includes people legally separated or otherwise absent from their spouse because of marital discord. Those without a final divorce decree are classified as "separated." This category also includes people who have been deserted or who have parted because they no longer want to live together but who have not obtained a divorce.
Includes widows and widowers who have not remarried.
Includes people who are legally divorced and who have not remarried. Those without a final divorce decree are classified as "separated." In selected tabulations, data for married and separated people are reorganized and combined with information on the presence of the spouse in the same household.
Now Married
All people whose current marriage has not ended by widowhood or divorce. This category includes people defined above as "separated."
- Spouse Present - Married people whose wife or husband was reported as a member of the same household, including those whose spouses may have been temporarily absent for such reasons as travel or hospitalization.
- Spouse Absent - Married people whose wife or husband was not reported as a member of the same household or people reporting they were married and living in a group quarters facility.
- Separated - Defined above.
- Spouse Absent, Other - Married people whose wife or husband was not reported as a member of the same household, excluding separated. Included is any person whose spouse was employed and living away from home or in an institution or serving away from home in the Armed Forces.
Median Age at First Marriage
The median age at first marriage is calculated indirectly by estimating the proportion of young people who will marry during their lifetime, calculating one-half of this proportion, and determining the age (at the time of the survey) of people at this half-way mark by osculatory interpolation. It does not represent the actual median age of the population who married during the calendar year. It is shown to the nearest tenth of a year. Henry S. Shryock and Jacob S. Siegel outline the osculatory procedure in Methods and Materials of Demography, First Edition (May 1973), Volume 1.
Marital History
Beginning in 2008, people 15 years and over who were ever married ("married," "widowed," "separated," or "divorced") were asked if they had been married, widowed, or divorced in the past 12 months. They were asked how many times (once, two times, three or more times) they have been married, and the year of their last marriage.
The word "current" was dropped from the 1996-1998 question. Since 1999, the question states, "What is this person's marital status?" The American Community Survey began providing the median age at first marriage with the 2004 data. Data on marital history were first collected in 2008 at the request of the Department of Health and Human Services to provide more detailed annual information on the marital status of the population. Before 2008, the marital status question was asked of all people and only tabulated for those 15 and over. In 2008, marital status was moved from the basic demographic section, at the beginning of the ACS questionnaire, to the detailed person section - a part of the questionnaire where questions were asked of only people 15 and over. The marital history questions follow the marital status question on the questionnaire.
Beginning in 2006, the population in group quarters (GQ) is included in the ACS. Some types of GQ populations have marital status distributions that are very different from the household population. The inclusion of the GQ population could therefore have a noticeable impact on the marital status distribution. This is particularly true for areas with a substantial GQ population.
The data on marital status can be compared to previous ACS years and to similar data collected on CPS and SIPP. Marital status is no longer asked on the Decennial Census. The marital history data, and particularly marriage and divorce rates derived from the questions asking if the person got married or divorced in the past 12 months is comparable to vital statistics collected by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
|Excerpt from:
|Social Explorer; U.S. Census Bureau; American Community Survey 2007-2009 Summary File: Technical Documentation.
|ACS 2009-3yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix A. Supplemental Documentation -> 2009 Subject Definitions -> Population Variables -> Grandparents as Caregivers
Data on grandparents as caregivers were derived from Questions 25a through 25c. Data were collected on whether a grandchild lives with a grandparent in the household, whether the grandparent has responsibility for the basic needs of the grandchild, and the duration of that responsibility.
Existence of a Grandparent Living with a Grandchild in the Household
This was determined by a "Yes" answer to the question, "Does this person have any of his/her own grandchildren under the age of 18 living in this house or apartment?" This question was asked of people 15 years of age and over. Because of the low numbers of persons under 30 years old living with their grandchildren, data were only tabulated for people 30 and over.
Responsibility for Basic Needs
This question determines if the grandparent is financially responsible for food, shelter, clothing, day care, etc., for any or all grandchildren living in the household. In selected tabulations, grandparent responsibility is further classified by presence of parent (of the grandchild).
Duration of Responsibility
The answer refers to the grandchild for whom the grandparent has been responsible for the longest period of time. Duration categories ranged from less than 6 months to 5 or more years.
This set of questions was added to the American Community Survey in 1999 to comply with legislation passed in the 104th Congress requiring that the decennial census program obtain information about grandparents who have primary responsibility for the care of their grandchildren. The response categories for length of time caring for grandchildren were modified slightly between the 1999 and 2000 American Community Survey questionnaires to match the 2000 decennial census questionnaire. The question has remained unchanged since then.
Before 2006, ACS grandparents data had a universe of people in households (which was the same as that in Census 2000 and the CPS). Beginning in 2006, the population in group quarters (GQ) is included in the ACS. Some types of GQ populations may have grandparents as caregivers distributions that are different from the household population. The inclusion of the GQ population could therefore have a noticeable impact on the grandparents as caregivers distribution. This is particularly true for areas with a substantial GQ population.
The data on grandparents as caregivers can be compared to previous ACS years, Census 2000, and to similar data collected in the CPS (with the potential limitation noted above about areas with a substantial GQ population).

Martha's Vineyard Magic
Tucked away seven miles off the coast of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard is an island full of unspoiled natural beauty and, during the busy season, lots of admirers. Until sometime in late August, the 100-square-mile isle's population swells with visitors and second-home owners, and it's easy to feel the crush—but you can find a quiet, uncrowded slice of the Vineyard. Just head "up island," as locals call it, to the towns of Chilmark, Aquinnah, and West Tisbury, where you'll find rolling, grassy hills, restaurants that don't need reservations, and low-key beaches blissfully free from crowds.

New e-cigarette shop wafts into Pocatello
POCATELLO, Idaho - Electronic cigarettes are becoming an increasingly popular way for smokers to kick that nicotine habit. Today's the deadline for the Food and Drug Administration to come up with a set of regulations for this alternative to the traditional cigarette, but those regulations have not yet been released.
On Friday, a new e-cigarette shop will officially open its doors in Pocatello on Yellowstone Ave. called The Vaping Outlet.
Co-Owner Trent Carrell said he was a smoker for nearly 25 years before he realized that turning to e-cigarettes was his chance to quit the unhealthy habit. He said opening this store will allow him to help others looking for a way out as well.
"After smoking for 25 years, you don't notice it over time how bad you really feel," Carrell said. "But the wheezing in the morning, the getting winded at the top of the stairs - after vaping, all of that stuff went away."
E-cigarettes are made-up of a vegetable glycerin base and propylene glycol - both are natural food preservatives which are nearly the only ingredients in e-cigarettes, excluding the option of including nicotine as well.
E-cigarettes then convert into water vapor when inhaled, so smokers are not allowing the 78 toxic carcinogens into their lungs from smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes.
Lung specialist and nurse practitioner at the Portneuf Medical Center's Pocatello Lung and Sleep Clinic Gus Blad agreed e-cigarettes are a healthier alternative.
"They are not doing anything to harm your lungs," Blad said. "For those who are addicted to nicotine it helps them have a healthier lifestyle. Breathing in cigarette smoke damages your lungs by creating pockets inside of your lungs that does not allow your oxygen to exchange with your blood. So, consequently you are suffocating yourself more and more each day you do it."
He also mentioned a good portion of the habit comes from the hand-to-mouth motion smokers are used to.
"Another problem with smoking is that people not only get addicted to the nicotine, but also the behavioral modifications that go with that. Those are hard habits to break, but with an e-cigarette it is a healthier choice because you're not getting that same smoke inhalation."
"There are a lot of the Pavlovian responses," Carrell said. "A lot of people like to smoke after a cup of coffee, when they're driving. There's a lot of ritual involved in smoking a cigarette."
However, with the variety of flavors and flashy advertisements, people are afraid shops might sell e-cigarettes to kids who are under 18 years old.
But Carrell said he and the other vapor shops he has spoken to have an "unwritten rule" they will not sell to minors since these shops are aimed at helping people quit smoking.
Blad said he has not seen any research to indicate e-cigarettes spark the smoking habit in people who have never smoked before. Carrell said he, too, has not seen any customers come through who have wanted to pick-up smoking e-cigarettes when they have not been previous smokers.
Pocatello city council member Steve Brown said the city has been discussing possible smoking ban regulations when it comes to smoking in public places around the community.
"The underlying concern is: how far do you go in dictating how a person lives their life?" Brown said when addressing what the city takes into consideration while discussing these issues. "We need to be careful in respecting the rights of the smoker, but the smoker also has to have a consideration for those who don't smoke."
However, he said the factor of e-cigarettes have not yet been mentioned in their discussions.
One of the biggest issues the city also faces when it comes to smoking in public places, is the litter cigarettes leave behind. With e-cigarettes, that could not happen.
Carrell said if the federal, state or city government decides to put any regulations on e-cigarettes, he welcomes them, while reminding people that e-cigarette users are just trying to better their health and the health of others around them.

ONCEKids, Inc. Launches RAINBOW PANDA AND THE FIRECRACKER FIASCO
Celebrations were in order for the arrival of the Asian New Year 2013 - the year of the Water Snake. In honor of Asia's most celebrated holiday, ONCEKids hosted a grand Twitter party yesterday inviting friends, media and guests from around the world to join in the celebration. ONCEKids' twitter parties, hosted by Daily Ovation out of Los Angeles, California, have become so large that the last Twitter party marking the return to school shut down their Twitter account.
As part of the festivities, ONCEKids, Inc. launched their newest title in the multi award-winning children's book series Fujimini Adventure Series. The dynamic new story is named Rainbow Panda and the Firecracker Fiasco. The story introduces readers to Rainbow Panda, the newest character in the Fujimini family of adorable animals and celebrates the Asian New Year with the traditional use of firecrackers to mark important celebrations.
It's the eve of the Asian New Year and all the animals are getting ready for the big occasion. They are sweeping, cleaning, planting flowers, writing on ribbons, and preparing food. Rainbow Panda looks forward to the fireworks display but wants to create his own fireworks show. He sets a plan in motion and tries to get Green and Pink Hamster to join him.
The animals know that they are not to play with matches or firecrackers but, nonetheless, continue with their plan. When Rainbow Panda starts to light matches in the woods, he sets the forest on fire and many animals must come to help put out the fire. The Dynasty Dragon's mom comes and turns into a cloud that rains and puts out the fire. Rainbow Panda, Dynasty Dragon, and both Green and Pink Hamster are given activities to clean up after the fire. They also volunteer to do a beach clean up to show everyone that they are sorry for the fiasco they set in motion.
Written by award-winning author Eileen Wacker, the series features a collection of Asian inspired animals, such as the Pink and Green Hamster, Red Penguin, Samurai Tortoise, Dynasty Dragon among other adorable animals, who all live on the magical Fujimini Island. Each adventure-based story has an educational message and a happy ending. The series currently consists of 6 books that target the 5-8 year old reader. Each book contains a Fujimini Adventure Series Glossary which explains different Asian items found in the stories such as a bonsai tree, chopsticks, sushi, moon festival, samurai warriors, etc., and adds to the fun of the stories.
Other books in the Fujimini Adventure Series are: Green Hamster and the Quest for Fun about a rascally Green Hamster who is convinced that all the other animals are having more fun than he. He sets off on an adventure to make sure he has the best day ever...but meets some unexpected challenges along the way. Red Penguin and the Missing Sushi tells the tale of the Moon Festival Celebration. Red Penguin is bragging about her wonderful sushi, which upsets the salad-making hamsters. Suddenly, the sushi has gone missing. Will the Red Penguin find the sushi in time for the big celebration? The third book of the series is Silent Samurai and the Magnificent Rescue in which the Tortoise Samurai warriors come to Fujimini Island on a special mission. A bit scared of the Samurai warriors at first, the animals on the island come together to help the Samurai and become friends.

Nursebee, you have to host your photo somewhere, either on your own personal webspace or a site like Photobucket.
- Ann, a Gardening Beek
ok gang, can someone please explain this a little simpler on how to post photos...
This whole img thing has me confused. Do I need to have the photo published to the web and then have it the [img] thing surround its web address or can I somehow upload right from my computer.
I was trying to show my fermented honey
As I said above, you have to host the picture, you can't upload it from your home computer unless you've got it set up as a web server. Your ISP may provide web space for your home page, or you can use one of the online photo galleries like Photobucket or Yahoo.
- Ann, a Gardening Beek
Unless Barry decides to allow attachments, you'll have to find a site to host your photos so you can use the image tags.
Dulcius ex asperis
So in case anyone else needs help, what I did was go to photobucket site and joined. Then I uploaded the photo to them. Once uploaded it gave me an url, html, and img options. To copy the img thing all I had to do was left click on img once, then paste this here.
Let the photos roll...
Nursebee, what a beautiful photo. I'm getting weepy looking at it.
>I'm getting weepy looking at it.
Not me, makes me thirsty! Reminds me that I have racking to do.

Calvin Klein Collection Resort 2012
Before going any further, let's just say the Resort 2012 sandal contest—who can step forward as the winner in the battle for the best use of leather straps and buckles for the airier, warmer weather—got a little more competitive when another contender emerged Wednesday morning. In the minimal corner: Francisco Costa of Calvin Klein, whose "racer back" ankle-strap sandal rested on a thick, flat white rubber wedge sole, while the upper came in a very CK-appropriate white leather or black patent and, occasionally, clear plastic. (Incidentally, not the first time the transparent vinyl shoe has reared its synthetic head over the past few days.)
With appropriately single-minded rigor, Costa paired the sandals with everything from a white silk crepe de Chine double-breasted jacket devoid of detail save for a tiny belt worn over a matching skirt with micro-pleated folds that allowed the fabric to undulate in a fluid yet controlled way and fell to a few inches above the ankles to an elegant black silk/wool long dress suspended from sculptural metal straps that traced their way all around to the back. Between those two looks, the tone of Costa's resort—streamlined and spare, but with a gentle softness—was set: his update on all of the charmeuse silk dressing that Calvin Klein himself did back in the day. And the color palette was also pretty much defined in black and white, too, save the very occasional foray into a purple-tinged blue or a lilac with a touch of gray. It's a shame. As Costa has proved recently with much of his red-carpet dressing (Emma Stone, Zoe Saldana, Lara Stone spring to mind), when he chooses to brighten his brand of minimalism with strong color, it positively and joyfully sings out.

Rick Owens Fall 2011
Remember Ludwig Bemelmans' nuns from the Madeline books? That's a little how the models at Rick Owens looked. Bell-shaped figures shroud in black, no sign of arms, just a face poking out of a mink wimple. And why not? There is a certain woman for whom Rick Owens is a religion, and you can bet that once this habit hits the sales floor, she's going to get her hands on it quicker than you can say a Hail Mary.
Owens didn't necessarily intend to go the religious route for fall (though the photo of his First Communion that's in his studio may have seeped into his subconscious). He did, however, want to defy the notion of body-conscious, sexy clothes, which he deftly achieved with rounded, floor-length, cashmere capes, long, poplin skirts, A-line puffer vests, and a few pairs of very unsexy, droopy-drawers cashmere shorts.
Yet in all this rejection of sexy, a sensuality developed. Owen's fabrics and shapes were soft. One leather cape was lined in mink; the puffers had exaggerated round shoulders (an ode to late couturier Charles James), and although the models were covered head to toe, everything they wore moved with them when they walked. And they did wear a lot—capes over jackets over sweaters over tunics over skirts. Only the die-hards will want to pull off all those layers; on their own, the furry knit sweaters and pebble-colored leather biker jackets will appeal to the neophytes.

Elk thriving in new environment
BUCHANAN COUNTY, Va. - On Thursday we decided to check up on some real history-making animals.
Elk were brought to a part of southwest Virginia last year. Some folks though the elk might die off or wander away, So just how are they doing?
A group of elk, a wild animal not seen in southwest Virginia in more than 100 years, was reintroduced to the area last May. We returned to their mountain-top home Wednesday evening to see how the small herd of 16 is doing.
The elk were brought here by Leon Boyd and the local chapter of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. With so much space to graze, they can be a challenge to find.
But the elk have tracking devices. Boyd visits a lot, especially during turkey season, and has captured great pictures of the growing herd. "There's nothing I've ever done that's been any more satisfying to me than this project has here," Boyd says.
It's satisfying because the herd looks great. They're healthy and doing what elk do -- grazing on what was once the site of a surface mine. "With what the mining industry and the drilling industry folks do as far as vegetation, what they put back for wildlife is unbelievable," he said.
It has been the perfect habitat for these majestic animals, so much so the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries is preparing to release more elk in Buchanan County in a month or so.
That means a little sprucing up at the holding facility. "This whole facility was constructed as what we call a soft release facility. What that does for a wild animal like an elk is it gives them a chance to essentially settle down," said Johnny Wills, a biologist with the department.
They can settle down and get comfortable in their new home, which they have. Just as the sun begins to set, they begin to make their way out into the open. Some cows and young calves graze on a hillside, and right along the road two bulls give us a curious look.
"It's been very successful. Talking to a lot of the other folks that have done projects and re-introduction with the elk in different states, I think we've been fortunate with the way it's gone so far," Boyd said.
A couple dozen more elk will join the original herd. It's a double success story: restoration of mined land and restoration of one of the nation's largest game animals.

That action has ruffled the feathers of multiple prominent agents who spoke on the condition of anonymity, expressing frustration at what they termed a significant conflict of interest.

Its a major conflict of interest for the executive director of the NFLPA to be referring attorneys to Rosenhaus, one agent said." Read more....

Deschutes County burn season begins Saturday
BEND, Ore. - Deschutes County Fire Chiefs have agreed to open controlled burning within Deschutes County this weekend.
Municipal and rural fire jurisdictions will open burning this Saturday, October 20,, for outdoor burning of debris and agricultural burns with the exceptions noted below.
Black Butte Ranch Fire District will enter a limited burning period that begins October 20th and runs through Sunday December 2, 2012.
The city of Bend and the city of Sisters have year round bans on outdoor burning within city limits.
Residents are strongly encouraged to contact their local fire protection agencies for specifics or any regulations regarding open burning of debris or agricultural burns. The Chiefs also strongly recommend that those who chose to burn debris do so early in the day, prior to winds picking up that could spread a fire to nearby combustibles.
"While colder temperatures and added moisture decrease the potential for debris burns to escape and become a wildfire hazard, we ask that residents please take special care in burning activities," adds Chief Koellermeier, Chairman of the Central Oregon Fire Chiefs Association. Fire agencies may make independent changes based on weather and fuel conditions so please review all local regulations before burning activities.
On public lands, the US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management will continue with planned burning projects on federal lands.
As of October 16, 2012 Oregon Department of Forestry is allowing open burning on all ODF protected lands within the ODF forest protection district where rural fire protection district burn bans are no longer in effect. All industrial forest operations burning such as burning of slash or use of prescribed fire and non-industrial open burning such as burning of yard debris or burn barrels within the ODF forest protection district requires a burn permit year round. Landowners who wish to conduct a prescribed burn or burn logging slash related to a forest harvest or thinning operation within the ODF forest protection district should contact their local ODF office directly to secure an ODF burn permit.

John Ballinger, a one-man-band who writes apps under the Bluespark name, is an iOS developer who has been at it longer than there has been a formal app market.
"I built an app or two even before you officially could and got them on to my iPhone, which I was pretty chuffed at," Ballinger says. "Then on the day the App Store was launched, along with the iPhone 3G, I released a mortgage calculator."
His simple program was one of only 500 or so to make their debut with the App Store. Today there are 700,000-plus apps.
Bluespark now has seven apps in the App Store, the best-selling of which is the $4.19 Heart Monitor, which uses a microphone to detect heartbeats.
Ballinger's biggest payday came in 2009, when he received a $40,000 cheque from Apple for a month's sales.
"I thought is this real - are they really going to pay me that?"
He has hit the jackpot - sort of - again in the past six months. With Christchurch-based collaborator Ellory Elkayem, he created Pocket Whip, which for a few days was the most-downloaded free app in the United States.
Pocket Whip's name is an accurate description of what it does: allows a user to make a sound like a whip crack, by flicking their iPhone.
Demonstrating once again that success in the App Store is down to clever - or lucky - marketing, Pocket Whip took off after featuring on an episode of sitcom The Big Bang Theory. And success breeds success: subsequently, Paramount Studios offered them the rights to use the Indiana Jones theme music and images in the app.
"I've taken the app over and launched a new version, which is still going well," Ballinger says.
The app itself is free, which raises the question of how he makes money from it. Like other free apps, "virtual goods" - in this case additional whips - can be bought from within the program. Making an in-app purchase also gets rid of the ads that come with the free version.
"Advertising accounts for a reasonable amount of my income from the app and selling virtual goods accounts for the rest."
Ballinger won't say how much Pocket Whip has earned him but says writing updates of the app keeps him fully employed.
Like MEA Mobile (see p16), he also writes apps for Android handsets. However he prefers iOS, finding it quicker to program for and as much as 50 times more lucrative.
Ballinger has twice taken himself off to the Apple's annual worldwide developer conference in San Francisco, at one of which Steve Jobs was present.
However his app development career had outlaw beginnings. In 2007, before Apple had officially begun selling iPhones in New Zealand, Ballinger was one of the first people in the country to hack - or "jailbreak" - one so it would work on the Vodafone network.
"Back in the day there was no other way to use an iPhone in New Zealand because they weren't sold or supported here. But in the long run jailbreaking was a problem because every time Apple upgraded the software, the phone stopped working."
He has no problem with Apple pocketing almost a third of the proceeds. "No one complains about the 30 per cent Apple takes. It also manages the whole device ecosystem, distribution and payments. I think you'd find that managing all that yourself could cost you up to 50 per cent of the sale price. A one-man-band can make an amazing app and make huge returns without venture capital or start-up money. I don't have to give up rights to the app. The only cost is Apple's 30 per cent take on all sales and US$99 a year to be a member of the developer programme."

Tire Balancing
Tire balancing is important to extend the life of your tires and increase the basic safety of your car. Our staff at Daniels Tire Service is here to help with all of your tire balancing and tire service needs in El Centro, CA and surrounding areas.
Computerized tire balancing is checked on a machine which can detect even ¼ of an ounce of difference in weight around the wheel. Why worry about that small of a weight difference on an object which weighs so much? That tiny amount of weight travels very fast around the axle while you are driving: hundreds of times a minute. This causes enough momentum to create serious vibration and when multiplied times 4 wheels, the wobble really adds up.
Daniels Tire Service Tire Balancing
When do tires need to be balanced: Tire balancing takes place any time you replace the tires on your vehicle. Since tires wear depending on driving practices and road problems, uneven wear will start to become noticeable after the first 1,000-2,000 miles of use. Tires must be checked for balance every 4,000-6,000 miles. Our mechanics at Daniels Tire Service can help determine whether your tires need to be rotated and balanced based on wear or mileage.
IMPORTANT: It is not advised to replace just one tire as this can cause major problems to the alignment, balance, and handling of the automobile.
How to tell if your tires require balancing:
- Steering wheel vibrations while driving
- Uneven tire tread wear
- Ride that becomes less smooth over the life of your tires
- Pulling to one side
The advantages of tire balancing:
- Smoother driving experience
- Improved fuel efficiency
- More even tire wear
- Extended life of tires and drive train parts

Impressive, most impressive!
Geeez! The killer paintjobs are coming out of the woodwork around here!
It looks like poop, but since the oringal ROTJ helmet looked that way too that means you did a great job making it look like the original!
Just incase you were confused the above comment is ment as a compliment and should not be taken any other way. Great job on the helmet.
WHOA! That is quite an amazing helmet right there. Any chance you could post a blow-up of the last pic (the one that shows the inside of your helmet?) I'm interested to see how you've got your Hyperdyne equipment rigged up as I've got the same equipment in my helmet, but there is stuff EVERYWHERE!
Also, did you manage to get the Hyperdyne LED chip into the rangefinder? If so, did you modify it at all?
Thanks for the kind words guys, I'm just about finished everything now except the vest and some off the minor details, so not far to go now!
Heres a larger pic of inside the helmet so you can better see the Hyperdyne set up. The RF lights are joined up to the main unit with wire running up the hollow RF stalk. When the servo/stalk moves down, the lights start flashing. I need to get a stronger servo though as sometimes it has trouble bringing it back up. The RF is one of BM's solid and ready finished ones. I just ordered it without the LED's installed and drilled through the holes to allow my LED's to fit in and have the wires pass through to the stalk! Hope that helps
Looks great!! Awesome paint job
Looks absolutely stellar.
thats pretty awesome. nice job!
Good job
Daaang...that's pretty sweet.
I love how the ROTJ looks like it just got kicked down a gravel driveway and back. Scared to death to try to paint one yet.

You take all the time you need for your commitments, and then write and post a whole lotsa things! Loved the "yogurt good because cows are happy" - and have to agree with this idea. Russian milk is by far better than US, although chicken meat is horrible - we say chickens ran all the way from Far East to Moscow and died of natural causes, fit, but skinny:) Beautiful mountains, and yay for fastpacking testing (my future plans too)!. Beat is a Beast (along with Steve)! And, by the way, I finished both books. Wonderful read. Awesome accomplishments...ReplyDelete
Wow. Incredible scenery and pics. In my experience the Alps are truly like a postcard in any direction.ReplyDelete
My main problems with packs and running have been rubbing along the collar bone (strap) and base of the back (bottomm of the pack). Look forward to hearing about any longer "tests".
Amazing Beat is doing that race; good luck to him.

Play-By-Playmate: NFL Playoff Edition
With another regular season in the books, Jaime makes her round-by-round picks for the NFL playoffs.
I think it is fair to say that sports are the best when the games matter most.
Don't get me wrong; I eat, sleep and breathe football but I tend to get a little more excited when there is more on the line.
There were so many playoff implications in the NFL this week. Every team in playoff contention, except the Packers, were playing for something. It reminded me a little of the last day of the baseball season when the wild cards were up for grabs and history was made not once but twice in the same day.
And like the last day of the MLB season, the last day of football did not disappoint. Each game was action packed as fans from all sides waited anxiously for the final postseason schedule to be set. Now it is and the wild card rounds are set to kick off this Saturday. So I'm prepared to make a few predictions regarding which way these games will go.
Steelers (12-4) at Broncos (8-8)
It is crazy to think the Steelers with a 12-4 record are coming into the playoffs as a wild card and will be playing on the road against the Broncos. Not to discredit the Broncos – they had a dream season, starting 2-5 and turning it around once Tebowmania took the field – but you should at least have to have a winning record to make playoffs as a four seed. I think it is pretty clear that one team is a little better here even with Big Ben's ankle in question. You can only play three terrible quarters and pull off a miracle in the fourth for so long, so I'll say the Steelers take this one.
Bengals (9-7) at Texans (10-6)
The Bengals snuck in and clinched a wild card in week 17, making the AFC North the most represented division with three of four teams in the postseason. This game is a rematch of week 14 when the Bengals lost by one point at home and I think the Texans will be able to do it again. They just play well as a team and I don't think rookie Andy Dalton is quite ready for the big stage (though he does give me hope for my Dolphins, who by the way are undefeated in 2012, to have success with a QB taken outside the first round).
Lions (10-6) at Saints (13-3)
This is another rematch from the season and Saints took it handily 31-17. This one is hard for me. I want the Lions to do well. They have been one of the biggest surprises of the season but I just don't see them being able to overcome Drew Brees and that explosive Saints offense, especially at home. I wouldn't be upset to be proven wrong, but I think New Orleans is going to take this one.
Falcons (10-6) at Giants (9-7)
The Falcons come in to this matchup with a better record but only by a game. I think regular season records when they're this close can be thrown out the window and the Giants have a lot of momentum having already played what was essentially a playoff game in week 17. As up and down as it's been for New York this year, I think they are better than the Falcons. Atlanta doesn't really know if they are a run-first or pass-first offense and I think that will show when the pressure is on.
As for the teams with first round byes, I dare say that they will all still be standing at the end of the divisional round with the exception of the Niners or Green Bay who could be beaten by the Saints. Pittsburgh has a shot in the AFC but Big Ben's ankle has to hold up and they have already lost to the Ravens twice this season.
As always I hope and pray that the Patriots will lose and in my heart of hearts I am hoping for a Niners/Ravens Super Bowl. I've got nothing against the Packers but the Niners have been waiting a while for Alex Smith to come into his own and I think that time is now.

Discussion in 'Hummer Forum' started by raisor87, Nov 18, 2008.
Here it is folks the new hummer h2
I'm still not convinced that these SUV's are really all that good off road. About anything with a small wheel base can do this. Heck I've seen the Rhino do more than this.
It is a nice vehicle, but too big for today's "state of the auto industry". It will be interesting to see if GM can go ahead and sell Hummer. Something needs to happen.
I've driven one, it's a very impressive vehicle, that's for sure. The problem is the cost of fuel and how much fuel it takes. It's incredible driving, tons of power and all the perks that you could want.
i hate the H2, i think GM destroyed the HUMMER name. GM increased the price of the H1 just so they could discontinue it, (not enough profit on a truck that sells less than 1000 units a year). I hope they give it back to AM General so they can start selling them again.
Im just glad that you are useing it the way a 4x4 should be used...:sign0173:
here are some pics of a REAL HUMMER :glasses:, im still pissed at myself for selling it.
The problem with the H1 cost was that it was designed for something totally different than the H2 was designed for. It really does cost that much money to build one, because of what it is.
No. it costs as much as it did because of the; low number of sales, less than 1000 a year on average, the "status" symbol that it is, and that they ended up makeing everyone of them the "highest end possible" truck ever, there was no real "lesser package" option. yeah you could get it without the UCP or the roof rack... but that is a really pitiful "up grade" package. In the end, Greed is why the Hummer cost so much, GM knew that people wanted the status of owning a Hummer, and they knew people would pay for it... so they charged for it.
GM "redesigned" the H1 and jacked the price up beyond what the new design actually cost by a significant amount. GM tacked on $50,000 just for installing a 6.6L D-Max and Allison Tranny, pretty expensive engine/tranny upgrade that is about all they did to it.
You're right, the H2 is not designed the same as the H1 they are so VASTLY different that they cant even be considered the same kind of vehicle… they do NOT share the same automotive "DNA" as the H1. They took the name that is all. But the H1 is not that complicated of a truck to build, it is just a well built 1 ¼ ton truck.
AM General gave the name to GM with the understanding that GM MUST promote the H1... something that GM had no intention of doing because they knew that they could not sell enough of them. You can see it in their advertising from when they took over the name, you would only see glimpses of the H1, they kept force feeding the inferior H2 (and then the H3) to everyone. GM had brainwashed pretty much the entire public into thinking that the H2 was the "civilian" version of the Military Truck. The news casters made that painfully apparent, (also goes to show how stupid news casters are). As soon as the sales numbers dropped enough to where GM could drop the H1 line… they did.
If AM General were to bring back the "recruit" version of the HUMMER, a bare bones truck, it would cost about the same or less than my 07 2500 DMax, which is not loaded at all.
H1 and H2 looks good, don't like H3, H3 is too small
That is one sweet ride, wish i could afford one
Always wanted to get an H1 but that 100,000 dollar price tag kind of killed it. I work at a rich private school and the sad thing is one of the highschoolers drives an H1 to school every day.
Separate names with a comma.

Reflects great, but a little slimy.
I'm going to give this a minimum of 4 stars anyway because this is the first reflective vinyl I've used, but I've noticed that the vinyl and the backing paper have a rather slimy feel to them when working with it. It's rather thick which is probably necessary due to the reflective properties of the vinyl, but it makes weeding and cutting smaller details a little tricky.

The -#delimit- command can only be run from a do-file or ado-file. See -help delimit-
So I would recommend trying the code from the do-file editor. It works for me.

Emma Stone Shows Off Leggy Looks In 'W' Magazine
The star spills on her latest role and shows off a slew of stylish looks for the shoot — see them all here!
24-year-old Emma Stone, stars as Grace Faraday in the new movie Gangster Squad — and she also landed the February 2013 cover of W magazine. They interviewed her and she posed in a shoot where she showed off some stylish vintage looks.
Emma's character, Grace, seems to be quite the opposite of her typical, quirky roles. She falls in love with a gangster, but she ends up having an affair with Ryan Gosling's character, Jerry Wooters — so scandalous! She tells W, "Grace is playing with fire—she's constantly torn, caught in that classic conundrum between good and evil."
She always had to be perfectly portrayed and groomed at all times — and W magazine asked her how she felt about it! She spilled, "Those undergarments were pretty demanding. It's time-consuming to put on a bustier and a little corset every day. But you're immediately more poised than you would be in modern-day clothes. And it makes it easy to get into character."
As for the photo shoot, she had a blonde, teased 'do that went great with the different ensembles. One of her outfits was a Balmain silk blend dress and a prism polyamide blend bikini top. This is one of the best looks on her because it's classy but still shows off her amazing figure. She also sported a Calvin Klein Collection satin top as a mini dress and totally pulled it off! In another photo, she donned an Alexander McQueen silk organza bustier dress. This look was chic and vintage. The thin, black neckline gives the look some more personality, and it looks fab on Emma.
Go see her in Gangster Squad in theaters now and pick up the Feb. issue of W magazine! Leave your comments and let us know what you think about Emma's look in the photo shoot.
