Welcome to the Quilting Board!
WOW...That is fantastic. So far I haven't had any luck finding material at sales or thrift stores.
Way to go son!! Evidently somebody didn't know what they actually had.
Pam Riggs
WOW! What a great deal.....congrats....
Tink's Mom (My name is really Susie)
Wow, what a find and such a bonus for your group !
I NEVER see anything like this, usually just old drapes and sheets etc ...
and Quilters, this should remind us all to USE OUR STASH ... so it won't end up sold for a few dollars at a sale, one day ... !!
I've already told DH & kids to make sure my leftovers go to friends, the bee and guild for good use !

Amazing!i love estate sales and auctions! Great find!
Good for you. What a special SIl. We all fear that this will happen to our stash when we die. Hopefully someone will appreciate ours when we are gone. 😀
Oh my, hundreds of yards of fabric, thousands of ideas, congratulations!!!
If life gives you lemons, make a margarita.
OH MY Goodness, you are one lucky person. Congrats. What a find!!!
so many quilts to make, so little time.
Great guy!

Will AI create mindlike machines, or will it show how much a mindless machine can do?
Brian Hayes
The game of checkers was the subject of one of the earliest success stories in AI. Arthur L. Samuel of IBM started work on a checkers-playing program in the early 1950s and returned to the project several times over the next 20 years. The program was noteworthy not only for playing reasonably well—quite early on, it began beating its creator—but also for learning the game in much the same way that people do. It played against various opponents (including itself!) and drew lessons from its own wins and losses.
Samuel explained the program's operation in terms of goals and subgoals. The overall goal was to reach a winning position, where the opponent has no legal move. The program identified subgoals that would mark progress toward the goal. Experienced players pointed out that the program's main weakness was the lack of any sustained strategy or "deep objective."
The subsequent history of computer checkers is dominated by the work of Jonathan Schaeffer and his colleagues at the University of Alberta. In 1989 they began work on a program called Chinook, which quickly became a player of world-champion caliber. It played twice against Marion Tinsley, who was the preeminent human checkers player of the era. (Tinsley won every tournament he entered from 1950 to 1994.) In a 1992 match, Tinsley defeated Chinook 4–2 with 33 draws. A rematch two years later ended prematurely when Tinsley withdrew because of illness. The six games played up to that point had all been draws, and Chinook became champion by forfeit. Tinsley died a few months later, so there was never a final showdown over the board.
Chinook's approach to the game was quite unlike that of Samuel's earlier program. There was no hierarchy of goals and subgoals, and no attempt to imitate the strategic thinking of human players. Chinook's strength lay entirely in capacious memory and rapid computation. At the time of the second Tinsley match, the program was searching sequences of moves to a minimum depth of 19 plies. (A ply is a move by one side or the other.) Chinook had a library of 60,000 opening positions and an endgame database with precomputed outcomes for every position with eight or fewer pieces on the board. There are 443,748,401,247 such positions.
More recently, Schaeffer and his colleagues have gone on from creating strong checkers players to solving the game altogether. After a series of computations that ended in 2007, they declared that checkers is "weakly solved." The weak solution identifies a provably optimal line of play from the starting position to the end—which turns out to be a draw. Neither player can improve his or her (or its) outcome by departing from this canonical sequence of moves. (A "strong" solution would give the correct line of play from any legally reachable board position.) By the time this proof was completed, the endgame database encompassed all positions with 10 or fewer pieces (almost 40 trillion of them).
Schaeffer notes that his checkers-playing program doesn't need to know much about checkers:
Perhaps the biggest contribution of applying AI technology to developing game-playing programs was the realization that a search-intensive ("brute-force") approach could produce high-quality performance using minimal application-dependent knowledge.
There is room here for a devil's advocate to offer a counterargument. Winning isn't everything, and playing the game without understanding it is not the most obvious route to wisdom. When Samuel began his work on checkers, his aim was not just to create an invincible opponent but to learn something about how people play games—indeed, to learn something about learning itself. Progress toward these broader goals could have influence beyond the world of board games.
But this position is difficult to defend. It turns out that brute-force methods like those of Chinook have been highly productive in a variety of other areas. They are not just tricks for winning games; Schaeffer cites bioinformatics and optimization among other application areas. The anthropocentric scheme, taking human thought patterns as the model for computer programs, has been less fruitful so far.

I'm looking to get some feedback from anyone who has tix in the Mezzanine Clubs.
There are some out there on STR and was thinking about buying some but wanted to get some reviews first and see if they are worth the investment. I currently am sitting in the back half of the mezzanine in the endzone in seats from a collegues company. Location is annyoing to get to but have minial bathroom and concession lines.

Everyones blocks are so beautiful, what a wonderful show of talent each week.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Everyones blocks are so beautiful, what a wonderful show of talent each week.
Wendig...I really like your blocks. Great color combos in both.
JanieW...such a cute kitty and the other block really pops with the contrasting color. Good work.
DDamsel...you and the barbed wire....again you got them all going the right direction. Very nice!
JanRN...I love your fabric choices for these blocks. I'm glad you had time to enjoy making them with us. I too found that they weren't difficult to put together.
QuiltE...how many UFO's do you plan to have done for the LQS challenge? Nice that you can count the FWQ as one of them. Enjoy your day off.
Janie W....that kittie is just too cute......a cowboy kittie.....where did you ever find such darling fabric?!
DD.....your stripes are perfect....you are one brave lady!
JanRN.....Always nice blocks.....I found this fairly easy, too.....lots of pieces and time consuming, but easy.....I listen to books while I sew, so easy and uncomplicated suits me just fine....
Honchey.....hope you're doing OK.....so nice of you not to forget us all here....I don't think we are forgetting you.....
GGal ... The Challenge started back in October and runs thru to the end of May. I've taken several to register, though haven't taken any back yet to provide the finished evidence. Most of those finishes were the weekend before last and now the FWS is done. We pay $2 for each entry, and then the number of "points" are assigned according to the size of the finished product. Wonder if it's according to the measured size? or the # of pieces? If so I should get a gazillion points for that FWS!!! I keep meaning to take a pic of what I have finished up, but it just hasn't happened. Hopefully this weekend, being that I am in the last stretch and have the FWS done.
As for what and how many ... right now all are done but one ... one table runner, three small table toppers, a bunch of mug rugs, and my first Mini!!! The last one I registered is a printed panel that I used for a "learn to machine quilt" class. It's never got finished, so now's the time. I'm debating how much work I'll put into it, as I'm not sure how much I like it, or can come to like it or what I'll do with it. I could call it quits and trim and bind it, though I'm thinking of the continuing theme of "learn to quilt" and might do some QAYG trials with it.
So let's hope the world is good to me this weekend and leaves me alone to sew and sew!!!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
Life; leave QuiltE alone & let her quilt this weekend!
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
Thank you, DublB .... it's now all up to you!
You see, life wasn't so good to me last weekend, and I didn't get much done.
And I know next weekend won't be "my" quilting time ... as I'm taking a course, both days and so, won't have much time to myself beyond the course. Then the following week, I go out of town the end of the week and the next one after is booked up the whole weekend with an assortment. In other words, the last weekend that should be all to me and my machine!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
Here's hopin' for a great weekend for all o' us.
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
Don't forget to breathe QuiltE, it sounds like you are going to be one busy lady for the next few weeks
Pant**Pant** sounds like QE is catching a breath. Lots of accomplishments. Guess it's the fix to tide you over for no sew time. You know I want to see that mini!!
Jackpot for me yesterday. Quilt guild friend was cleaning her sewing room and gifted a huge bag of scraps for my minis. First order is to make one for her as a TY gift--but who know when that's going to happen. Taking a break from outside work. Last night had kiddos so nothing accomplished. When they left had to put together an ad for our national breed magazine. Was 1:30 AM when I emailed that off. Why am I tired??
Don't worry spider.
I keep house
I donate quilts to the AAQI.

Emily West, the former editor of the Danville Express and San Ramon Express, has moved on to a new career in a different field and left some mighty big shoes to fill. As a Tri-Valley native and Cal High grad, I am really excited to get re-acquainted with Danville and continue to publish the high-quality stories Danville Express is known for.

Dear Jessica,
You have an exceptional model and benchmark in Dolores Fox Ciardelli because you will be judged by her journalism. What you inherit is the vacuum between the exceptional journalism of pre-November 2007 and the sad provision of news releases and a savage forum conducted by a handful of fridge commentators under several pseudonyms.
I look upon your entry as the person in-charge of the deck chairs on the Titanic. But with that said, you have no direction but up in your editorial viewpoint and specific journalism.
At this point you have less than 30 days to introduce your journalism or be disregarded by >27,000 Iron Horse corridor neighborhood participants as Dolores' reader.
Like Dolores' readers, I expect amazing results.

Hiya Jessica:
Welcome. Hal probably won't find this comment fridge-worthy, but I wonder if you have a way to change the Verification Code dingus so that it allows more time to compose an entry?
If anybody attempts a longer, possibly even thoughtful response, it invariably gets kicked back as a typo, requiring re-entry of another Code. The second one always goes through, as do brief ripostes, so I am guessing it's a timing issue. Thanks for checking.

on Dec 7, 2010 at 10:31 am
Hal, I hope I'll be able to live up to the standards Dolores has set...I'm sure you'll let me know if I don't.
As for the verification code, I'll make sure to send in a report to IT. I don't know how/don't think I have the capabilities to change it myself.

Dear Jessica,
You might check your site hosting inside of google. The problem with verification codes seems to be present in other google-hosted sites.
The most simple remedy is to repeat the verification entry after the first fails. Just as it did for this message.

Here's what I see as the method for getting 3D objects perspective-transformed to screen:
On update: Create the camera matrix: c = camRotation * camTranslation Create the view matrix by inverting the camera matrix: v = c^-1 Create the projection matrix using the standard perspective projection matrix terms Create view-projection matrix: vp = p * v For each entity Create a model matrix using entity world position, rotation, and scale values Multiply this specific entity's world transform matrix (the model matrix): mvp = vp * m Set mvp as a uniform for vertex shader glDrawElements(...);
- Please offer your advice on whether or not the above structure is sensible.
- What options do I have to reduce the number of draw calls? Merging static geometry into a single vertex list using a common texture atlas seems to be the only option?
- Re the MVP matrix above, why do some sources present the final matrix value as -1, and others as 1? What should I use?

A ting ta is not only a sound that you can make if you click your tongue fast enough, it is also an 86 year old lady. She has over 21 grandchildren, many of whom all share the same birthday. She is an ordinary, law abiding citizen who unfortunately became addicted to the smell of both petrol and fire at a very young age. Her love for both petrol cans and sparklers can often get her in somewhat trouble with the federal department, but don't forget - she's just a lovely old lady with very very good skin and school girl looks

Really cosy and comfortable room, I highly recommend the house, very friendly host.
Clean & comfortable room. Good location.
Nice quiet but central location. Excellent host.
We stayed for a week in this apartment in Brick Lane area just a short walk from Liverpool Street station. The neighbourhood is lively with a lot of restaurants. The apartment is nice and clean, and the reception very friendly.
There is a diningtable with chairs connected to the small kitchen, but we missed some comfortable chairs (there was only one in one of the bedrooms). Nevertheless if you walk around the city all day and just need a place to sleep, it is absolutely perfect.
Very comfortable clean room, no hassle, will be back.
Quiet apartment. Clean & comfortable room.

That will keep there heads down.
This is a short overview of this mag. Bottom line - looks like a nice competitor to the APG mags!
I ordered directly from their website because no one had them in stock. They were really swamped so I had to wait *quite a while* for it to arrive... as in 6-8 weeks for delivery. I'm probably more patient than some folks, so if you're a *must have it tomorrow*" person, you need to adjust your expectations when ordering.
Direct link to the manufacturer's page:
ProMag | Saiga
Overall Quality.
The magazine appears robust. Black polymer with metal feed lips. Polymer feels more grainy than some other mags, really close to a Bulgy waffle mag. I'm no plastic expert so that's all I can say about it. It doesn't seem brittle, so it should be able to take some abuse. Spring seems nice and springy. Hand-feeding the rounds into the mag "just works". All 10 rounds can be inserted with no excessive load on the spring. Mine had just a little bit of mold flashing (trim) that caused the follower to drag when inserting, but after a few cycles it smoothed up.
Locking lugs.
The magazine locks up tight in the magazine well. Mine does not "drop free" like the factory mag, and behaves just like the Bulgy waffle mags do in most of my 7.62 rifles. You have to physically pull the mag out of the magazine well. You can see on the rear locking lug there is a little bit more meat on the sides that seems to be the point where it rubs against the center support. I could easily file this area with an emory board or small file but for now I don't see the need for any modifications.
Side "waffles"
On the outside of the mag, the top-most "waffle" pattern contacts the bottom of the receiver. I trimmed off a very, **VERY** thin amount from the top of this waffle to get the magazine to more smoothly engage the magazine release. Out of the box, I had to firmly rock it into the receiver to get the rear lug to engage more smoothly and get that "click" that lets you know it is fully engaged. As previously stated, I believe the extra "meat" on the rear locking lug could be trimmed up to get it to fit, however I chose to trim the sides. By a "very thin amount", were talking about the thickness of a business card. These side waffles appear to also serve as an anti-wobble feature. Not sure about that, however it does give it a nice, solid lock-up. The factory mag I have has about the same thing with its side ribs. The ProMag locks up more firmly, which to me "feels" better for my shooting and reloading style. OPINION - I suspect they made this a bit larger to ensure it fits all batches of the shotguns... I don't know for certain how it fits in older -12s since I have only this one available to me.
The follower sits a bit higher than the factory 5-round mag. I don't have a factory 8-rounder to compare to. It is high enough that the bolt contacts the follower after the last round cycles... JUST LIKE the Yugo magazines! This made it MUCH easier for me to grab the bolt and pull it back to the bolt hold open, and made it faster for me to switch mags. If you need really fast magazine changes, this will be a good thing. Also, JUST LIKE the Yugo magazines, it provides you with that extra indication that the mag is empty.
Since the feed lips are the same as factory, the high follower does not seem to affect feeding or loading at all.
OK here are the pics -
... and here are comparison pics to the factory 5-rounder to show the difference in the follower height
... and finally the "side waffle" rib that contacts the bottom of the receiver - like I said, I only trimmed the thickness of a business card:

SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
Terrific write up Pook. I'm looking forward to a range report.
I must admit I'm not a big fan of promag, I've been burned by them before. I've got 2 brand new Glock promags, neither of which will even chamber a round. I also have a Remington mag from them that will not feed more than a couple of rounds without hanging up. The reports I've read on their AK mags is not very encouraging either. I hope they got it right this time.
There seems to be some issues popping up on the new surefire Saiga mags also.
Nice write up Pookie, thanks.Any more info on this, I just got two and didn't get to try them yet.There seems to be some issues popping up on the new surefire Saiga mags also.
There are a couple of threads on the saiga forum by guys who have had some problems with them. One guy broke two of them completely in half while using 3" shells (which they are supposed to able to handle) and another broke just a corner off while using 2-3/4" shells. Mike Davidson, (the guy who makes the MD-20 drum) has done a ton of Saiga mag R&D, and He blames it on the fact that the surefire has no metal reinforcements like his or the factory mags.
Thank you for the info, now I have to decide if I want to try them or not.
I just realized that this 10-rounder can be cut down to a 5-rounder size! They molded an additional floorplate retainer tab halfway up the magazine body so that you could hacksaw off the bottom part of the body and re-attach the floorplate. It would be the same size as the factory 5-rounder.
It would obviously be a one-time conversion, but for a hunting application it makes sense.

Semi closes eastbound I-70 near Lake of the Woods
COLUMBIA, Mo. - A crash closed both lanes of eastbound I-70 Thursday afternoon near the Lake of the Woods exit.
Witnesses said it appeared a semi was heading west around 2:20 p.m. when it blew a tire and crossed over the median into oncoming vehicles.
The truck was lying across the interstate, bringing eastbound traffic to a standstill for over 30 minutes.
No injuries were reported, but there was a second minor accident in the westbound lanes. Cars were rerouted onto I-70 Drive Southeast while crews towed away the damage.

Reviews of this property
Everything was alright. Salvatore and his cousin Stephan have mad a lot of efforts that everyone would have a nice stay, they will help you with every question or fix any problem you have. They prepared a lot to make everything super easy (check-in, -out, location, maps, etc.) and especially their self-made tour i can recommend. Of course the apartment wasn't decorated as seen on the pictures, but overall the interior was as seen. You have everything you need for self catering and so the price is definitely very good. So we had a good stay and i'll come back for my next trip to Nice.
It was another than the one shown Studio, which now resembled a Möbelabstellager, there was little creepy crawlies, trying to get established with "anti-whatever-it-ever-jar" in the grip of the landlord. Of this, and of the noise of the street (by the proximity to the train station is a very "lively" area) apart, the studio was spotlessly clean and equipped with the essentials. The value for money is good, but it definitely was not as pictured in the pictures.
Es handelte sich um ein anderes, als das abgebildete Studio, welches nun eher einem Möbelabstellager ähnelte,es gab kleine Krabbeltiere, die der Vermieter mit aufgestellten "Anti-Was-auch-immer-Döschen" in den Griff zu bekommen versucht. Davon und von dem Lärm der Strasse (durch die Nähe zum Bahnhof handelt es sich um ein sehr "lebhaftes" Viertel) abgesehen, war das Studio einwandfrei sauber und mit dem nötigsten ausgestattet. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt, aber es war definitiv nicht so wie auf den Bildern abgebildet.
The stay in Nice was very pleasant. The apartment is very centrally located and super clean! Again and again. Highly recommended!
Der Aufenthalt in Nizza war sehr angenehmen. Das Appartement liegt sehr zentral und Super sauber! Immer wieder gerne. Nur zu empfehlen!
This flat was really close to everything including the tram on main street Jean Medicin which takes you directly to Old Town Nice and the Beach. The train station is 5 mins away by foot. The owner is very accommodating and ensures your stay is pleasant with towels professionally cleaned. The only improvement I would say about this flat is that the stairs to the second bedroom need to be renovated as each step is slanted down, which can be quite dangerous to climb. I would recommend this owner and his place if you are looking for something with a good location.
We had a great stay in Nice, the property is very close to the tram, train, bike hire and a 10-15 minute walk to the old town. It is also close to a supermarket (monoprix) so we saved money cooking after a day on the beach. The apartment was clean, simplistic and with a spacious living area and the host was very flexible with our arrival and departure times.
Ein einfaches, kleines und gut gepflegtes Appartement. Ideal, um von hieraus in 2 Minuten mitten im Stadtzentrum zu sein.
Ottima ottima nn ho niente da ridire prima di tutto ho avuto uno sconto da salvatore ho incontrato suo cugino per le chiavi e ho avuto una buona impressione tutto era pulito e in ordine , la casa era piccola ma molto carina tutto era vicino ero in centro vicino a tutto dico tutto, ho avuto bellissimi momenti in quella casa e un enorme grazie di cuore a salvatore e suo cugino keep it up !!! 10 e lode
Blev väldigt nöjd med boendet i Nice. Bodde med wimdu i Paris och Toulouse före detta och Salvatore hamnar högst upp. Vi blev välkomnade av hans kusin Fred och han hämtade även upp oss och körde oss till flygplatsen för 30€, otroligt trevligt kille!
Lägenheten ligger bra till och det är lätt att ta sig dit man vill. Vi bodde tre stycken där och hade väl inte valt att bo en till i lägenheten, men då hade vi väldigt mycket packning som tog plats och bott med varandra i 10 dagar.
Bra betyg får Fred och lägenheten!

Re: Craziest FNA ever?
I think my craziest happened last night on airstrip.
I stealth killed someone, then shortly after I was being being shot at from behind I rolled dropped a nade it knocked him down I quickly finished him off then while I was doing this someone jumped off the roof started shooting at me then his buddy spawned on him while I was shooting at him & started sniping at me I was strafing in & out of cover managed to kill them both, then activated my RPG, ran out jumped & pressed R1 killing another who had a hammer.
Shortly after I got doubled teamed & well ....

I got a 5NA in elimination once, which is pretty impressive considering the game mode.
I once got 5 pull downs back to back on LU in Elimination right at the blown off side of the building next to the tracks, went to cinema only to remember it doesn't record Elimination.

It was what made it better was it was a party of try hards using every cheap trick in the game & they still lost I was playing with a fellow forum member & they said after "Omg you totally owned'
Re: Craziest FNA ever?
In Chateau I got 3 sweet aimed KAL kills then finished the FNA with a thrown-back cluster bomb. Lost the cinema.
Wipe that smile off your face and get your tryhard face on!!!
Re: Craziest FNA ever?
It's actually a very good one but I got this before I even knew what Cinema mode was... so like 2 months ago...
I believe it was on Museum, there were 2 people near the shotgun, I was using the Dragon and shot on of the guys twice, then I got a headshot and ran around to find a noob just camping on that balcony where the shotgun is in Elimination and shot his head.
I then ran across that roof and picked up the Tbolt to find someone collecting the treasure chest just above the villain spawn and killed him and then I turned around and you know that one spot near one of the hills in TO where you climb up the ladder onto the balcony and you can see inside the actual museum?
Someone jumped off there and I got him midair and then I continued onto that treasure chest roof where I shot the guy for my Connect Four to find some sweetie aiming a shotgun at me, I barely survived the first shot but then shot him to get 6 kills in rapid succession... then I had 2 splitscreen noobs come up behind me with their RoF KAL's and then the fire nation attacked...
Re: Craziest FNA ever?
Re: Craziest FNA ever?
If you want crazy, I have this clip where a nade went off near me, but it only killed the guy beside me who was punching me. It only downed me.
And no, I have NEVER used Team Safe in competitive. Hell, the only times I drop a nade is when I'm *pretty* sure I'm screwed.

It's a bit of a saga getting here but to cut a long story short I got a sleeper bus to Honghe, but it was the wrong 'Honghe' which meant I lost a full day, but the bus was great. I got on at 3pm and after 8 hours we parked up in a bus station, it was dark and I couldn't tell where we were, bus as everyone started to get off leaving their bags etc
I arrive in a hillside town which has a nice atmosphere and I instantly take too, although because it's on the top of the hill it's a misty and murky old place. The town has a huge square with a massive screen in it showing Chinese TV, in the evening it is full of people dancing, I mean hundreds of them, this has got to be the biggest display I've seen yet, it seems like every part of China take part in this dancing every evening and is amazing to watch their slow deliberate moves.
The town also has an impressive market which I wander through the stalls of fruit and vegetables, spices, clothes, knick knacks etc. many stallholders wear traditional dress which is their everyday. It's different to what I've seen already, the woman wear heavily embroidered clothes, knee length skirts heavily pleated, long sleeve tops up to the collar, their legs have the same material wrapped around them and the headdress is set further back on the head, in more of a turban, it's wonderful to see and I didn't realize China had so many traditional outfits.
I sit in the market for lunch, right in the back of a wee place and I can tell they're not used to visitors by the nudges going on and looks I get
The cycle down to the border was brilliant, although I was putting it off, when I get back on the bike I really enjoy it even though its hard work. The area is full of banana and tea plantations and I get to witness the whole process of the banana industry on my way down, often sitting at the roadside watching the processes. I'll never look at bananas the same again, they are bagged while on the plant with the flowers being harvested first; the stalks are cut and carried out two at a time on locals backs or sometimes being taken down by donkey's; it's not baskets they use but purpose built carriers, they're really heavy; they are then taken to a makeshift holding shed and stacked; when these sheds are full lorries come with all the flat pack boxes ready to get packed up to go. The bananas are taken to the back of the production line and are cut off the stalks, weighed, washed and boxed up being put straight onto the back of the lorry, it's quite a process. All the boxes I see are different from 'Slimming Diet' bananas to 'Produce' of different country bananas, some boxes are in English, or French, German etc. I'm starting to think China supplies the banana market worldwide.
When I get down to Hekou I still have a couple of days before my visa expires so I just relax and have a nosey around, I have a walk down to the border which I will be crossing and it looks very different
So I have my last look about before it's time to leave China and I have to admit I'm wary about heading to another new country but I will be fine when I get across the border. There have been many highlights to China starting with visiting The Great Wall of China, seeing the Terracotta Warrior of Xi'an, the rice terraces and mountains on the journey down south, Pandas, Shangri La's Songzanlin Monastery, Tiger Leaping Gorge, eventually ending with the tea and banana plantations on the way down to the Vietnam border town of Hekou. I think if I had flown into Beijing and just headed for a few weeks to different tourist places before leaving I would have hated it, China doesn't have volume control and as for the manners the hawking and spitting can turn your stomach, but travelling by bicycle has been amazing.
I've ended up in homes I wouldn't have done otherwise, having lunch in small farmhouses; cycling up high passes with breathtaking views; dodging traffic in metropolis size cities; viewing rice terraces; huge engineering works; massive power plants and millions of people. I've seen many different hill tribes and traditional dress and fascinating markets, every square inch of China is planted with rice, fruit or vegetables, no ground is left un-farmed (which can make camping difficult) it really is an amazing place, I would love to come back someday to see the millions of places I've missed.

1) First off, and one of the main reasons I bought the unit, over the Samsung CPU, was because it was being sold as a 1.2Ghz cpu speed but when I got the unit and ran the tests it tells me it's only 1.0Ghz. This has been brought to the attention of sites like Merimobiles and they still continue to advertise it as being 1.2Ghz. On the Rockchip site the CPU is listed as capable of doing 1.2Ghz so why the underclock. I heard of Chinese tablet sites overclocking but I can't see why they would underclock. At least give us to option to use a app like SetCPU to clock it ourselves. I wonder if anyone has an android tablet with the Rockchip 2918 CPU clocked to 1.2?
2) Flash 11 seems to crash the stock browser (or any browser). Since I can't seem to find the latest firmware, besides the Merimobile's site, I can't see this being fixed anytime soon.
3) The wifi is useless. Now I can't figure out what's up with this. Merimobiles sugggests I go back to using wifi "b" which is like going back to the stone ages. Another reason why I bought this tablet was because it had "N". Now here's the strange thing. When I first got the tablet I added it to my wireless router and also added the MAC address to the MAC address filtering option. The wifi was bad right from the start. In hopes of improving the wifi I then updated the firmware. After the update I was no longer able to log onto my wifi. The wifi was there I just couldn't log on. Using my desktop I disabled the MAC filtering which allowed my tablet to connect. When I researched the problem I found that the MAC address had changed after the flash. I didn't realize this was possible (unless it was spoofed).
4) the plastic clear touchpad is soft and will show slight fogging if pressed slightly harder than usual
Now most of these Chinese tablet makes don't design their own motherboards. I think most just modify the reference board provided by the chipmaker and for this reason I'm hoping that the issues with the wopad are just firmware related.
In any case it's not worth sending it back to china.

Be gentle if this is a completely stupid idea.
Have almost zero welding skills on thin steel and to make matters worse a HF 90amp Flux wire feeder unit.
I get around ok with thicker material but at Minimum switch setting I guess it still pumps out to much juice.
attempting filling up holes on 040" scrap rec. Copper disc at back of hole . Looked good I thought but as it cooled I could see a space. Space proved troublesome to fill.
Thought of using another copper disc on the outside, but cut through like a washer. Figured the Weld has to stay within it's confines. Hell of a weld , seems like hole is really filled this time.
I'll know for sure after I grind the Steel and copper off !
The inside of the Rec. though looks bad, almost like 3 Islands within the hole diameter,.
The idea I had-- Finally-- was to get small chips off the Mill, --same steel and pack them in the hole, firmly up against the Copper backing plate.
A much smaller copper plate , just a bit bigger than the Hole maybe, to be placed on the outside.
Clamp firmly with the Spotwelder and Cook it !!?????.
Would the chips Melt and flow ?
Would it work, and who would know ?
Appreciate your thoughts.

Will, what are you shooting into in your test room.
Its good to see a firearms related show in the mainstream. Though the details lack for some of us that thirst after the mechanics of the guns, the thing I enjoy the most is your relationship with your daughter. There is nothing better than sharing a love of firearms with a family member. I must say, it cracks me up when people come in to your store and she knows more about the firearm than they realize and they look stupid.
Keep up the good work. I will continue watching with my family. I pray that Discovery doesnt turn your show into another Orange County Choppers with all the drama. Keep it real good Sir.
Keep up the good work and enjoy the show,,bill
Great season of Sons of Guns. Not overly technical for the average viewers, but plenty of cool stuff to keep the gun nuts hooked. A+
I like the show, but for a reason besides the guns... The accent. Since I moved the family to Tennessee, I don't get to hear that Creole accent besides on the phone with the family still in N.O. What sucks the most is we moved up here when my son was 10 months old. Now he is 5 and talks like a hillbilly.
Anyway, good show. And the first AK I ever shot was a Red Stick build years ago. Keep up the good work.
Boy I need to get on this board more often . THis is where it all started for me Thank you guy's , you can't know what it means coming from the " old school"
The college kids down here be loving your show.
"Sons of Guns."
"You know those guys??"
"Hell yah, I take too him on the computer everyday."
You got a hit. Good for you.

The post is very rich. In fact, your site is very beautiful, I like this kind of material. I will visit your site again and again to check for updates.
I am completing a research work and gathering information about this topic. Your page is one of the best posts that I have read during my search. Thank you for posting such a great information into one location.
I believe its a 53 Lincoln Capri.
This is something different the Rock Canadian singer and artist Neil young's car posted in this article. The memories of Link Volt are still in mind.
Excellent points. Interesting take on the Hunger Games and Republicans. Nothing I say below takes away from my basic agreement with your analysis.
Ah nostalgia... and I think you're right RMF.

Stay satisfied.
This car look exactly to my fathers 1953 Lincoln Capri.
This car brings some of my memories when I was a child sitting on my father lap while driving this type of car.

UTSA President Ricardo Romo with graduates
Raising graduation rates is top priority at UTSA
(March 16, 2006)--The UT System Board of Regents approved a resolution Feb. 9 which made raising graduation rates a top priority for the next decade.
As part of the resolution, each UT System academic institution is to align policies to maximize the positive impact on graduation rates. The policies to be reviewed include financial aid, academic advising, performance review, tuition, course scheduling, campus housing, curriculum, admissions and other institutional policies that improve graduation rates.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
The goal set forth in the resolution is for each institution to make progress toward the national graduation rate averages. Currently, the national average six-year graduation rate for four-year public institutions is approximately 50 percent.
UTSA's graduation rates have increased in the past few years; the most current six-year graduation rate for UTSA is 29.1 percent. Although UTSA is moving in the right direction, more work remains.
"UTSA faculty and staff have worked throughout the institution's history to promote an inclusive environment that welcomes a diverse student population and to provide support for students' educational objectives," UTSA President Ricardo Romo said. "As UTSA moves forward in our efforts to enhance student success, it is important to acknowledge that progress has been made, and that we will continue moving forward to build on this foundation."
UTSA will conduct the UTSA Raising Graduation Rates Summit on March 24, 2006 for UTSA faculty and staff. For more information and to register, visit the summit Web site.

I too am a newbee. Picked up my first package a week ago. My queen is going about raising her brood as hoped. I joined a local beekeepers club and met a lot of good people. We have a lot of open fields around here and expect the local farmers and orchard owners will enjoy the extra help my crew of bees are giving them. I expect the more I learn and the more I reolize I do not know, the more I will be posting.
Enjoying all the buzz,

Vegas Party, a fast-paced gambling-esque party game set in an over-the-top version of Las Vegas city from new UK family-oriented publisher Enjoy Gaming, is scheduled to be launched on Nintendo Wii this February.
The players are taken into the gambling-friendly universe of Las Vegas city, complete with bright lights, sassy caricature characters and the occasional hustler!
Mini-games, including darts, blackjack, roulette, Texas Hold'Em and slot machines, are quick versions which are easy to master, but you still need luck to win! Play 'Quick Games' to practice your skills, or 'The Strip' - a board-game style race for four players. Reaching the end of the Strip before anyone else is trickier than it sounds; players are at the mercy of the dice, penalty squares and mini-games, any of which can send you into the lead, or back to the start. Manage your token account, avoid dangers like twisters and earthquakes, test your gaming skills and push your luck, but remember – you can lose it all on one bad call.
Vegas Party is a fun, fast party game for one to four players and is open to all comers. The 10 unique mini-games are loaded with additional gameplay, and the 15 casinos on 'The Strip' each have their own different theme – from Aztec to Area 51.

The Vine Audio Programme: Tune In or Get Whacked
In recent weeks, I've had the absolute pleasure of playing a supporting role in The Vine: Donkey Kong Audio Programme. I must insist you have the absolute pleasure of listening to it.
Not into video games? That's okay, neither are the hosts. Think of it as the legitimate front for crude but classy conversational comedy. It's a mammoth production, a huge labour of love, and brimming with the warmly familiar, silky-smooth voices of Rubber Chicken alumni.
Be warned: Emmy-winnng hosts Chad and Hyle are not the most tactful gentlemen, and tend to use masturbation jokes as punctuation. You'll hate yourself for laughing, but oh, you will laugh.
I'm told the website you're currently reading has an audio programme too. It's not ringing any bells, but I'll look into it.

Your Beautiful Child
Rejoice! You're the parent of a newborn or young child, and you have an incredible, wonderful journey ahead. The fact that your child has a hearing loss is only one facet of the journey.
Still, hearing loss is a very important facet and needs to be addressed. Even as a baby, your child is learning and growing all the time. The sooner you find help for your child, the better. Research has shown that, with immediate and proper help, by age 5 children with hearing loss can develop language skills comparable to those of children without hearing loss. Two key factors are involved:
- early identification of the hearing loss, and
- appropriate early intervention services from qualified providers.
Peter, the baby we just mentioned, is already well on his way to developing the language and other skills he needs to succeed in school and in life. His hearing loss was detected early, the hospital connected his family with nearby early intervention services, and Peter received services immediately. His family learned about hearing loss and about communicating with their newborn. They are exploring all sorts of options for helping Peter to take advantage of the hearing he does have (called residual hearing) and to communicate visually. And Peterhe's wide open to the world and learning, learning, learning all of the time.

ITA with this. And mark my words- it's bound to happen.Originally Posted by euterpe
Lori was paid good $$$ for choosing those pieces. The point I was trying to make in my post to jesslily was that MK had skated to many original pieces and not "mostly skated to pieces used by other skaters" Actually Saint Saens Introduction and rondo capriccioso was used by others skaters after Michelle's 94 season, Rudy Galindo in 1999 and NNN in 2000Originally Posted by Rgirl
.I never seen that forum talk, Mk broke ways with Lori prior to separating from Frank , and she stated that the frequent trips to Canada was taxing for her.Forum talk..... Michelle also split with Lori because she didn't like skating to the music Lori chose.
You have repeatedly said that MK has taken over her artistic decisions since she parted with Lori??? Forum talk again??? MK never said that, as far as I know, she continued to let her choreographers choose the music for her, with the exception of Bolero. AFAIK, Mk is not much into classical music like Sarah Hughes e.g., and she has always left the music choices to the expertsthat Michelle has gone with standards rather than avant garde music since taking over her artistic decisions.
I gnerally prefer Lori's choices to her other choreographers choicesprefer Lori's musical choices
Tosca was Morosov's choice and Miraculous Mandarin was Peter Oppergard's. I used to be a huge Puccini fan, but somehow fell out of love with his operas. Bartok is not exactly my favorite either. I am not sure whether MK was happier skating to Tosca or MM.but if Michelle is happier skating to "Tosca" than "Miraculous Mandarin,"
I don't think skaters have to come up with their own music, afterall that is the job of the choreographers. Sometimes skaters have their input for sure. NNN at the young age of 13 insisted on Rach PC #3, and it worked for her. In 2000, NNN or her team came up with some of the most amazing combination for her lp. Mahler's Sturmisch bewegt (one of the most violent piece of music ever written), a film music called where eagles landed (full of suspense), then changed the mood to something more lyric Introduction and Capriccioso. Unfortunately she fell many times in the competition, I think if she delivered that clean, it would be her signature piece. I speculate NNN chose these. In 2000, Cohen chose Mendelssohn E minor, and whoever edited the piece did a very poor job, Mendelssohn was butchered Since then her music editors have done a better job

ITA! Along with Red Dog's response to your quote. Though I love Sasha and would thus want to see her win 06' OGM, I just don't see it happening. The others ladies (well at least Irina, Shizuka, & Michelle) seem to have a better history at pulling it together when a World or National title is within their grasp, Sasha has yet to do this.Originally Posted by euterpe
I don't think it matters who brought Michelle's music to the ice. She split with Lori and got Sheh, her first warhorse. However, the next season, whoever got the Aranjez for her - a non warhorse did the right thing. She and the music were stunning. Then came the dark and moody Tosca and then the repititive Bolero, both warhorses.
It seems she's back on track this year. Let's hope so.
As for Sasha. She is using strategy by using recurrent music but with different choreography. It may be best for her and let's hope so.
DIfferent choreography. Let's hope so- I've seen nothing different from this girl in a long time. She, like Kwan, has been using very similar moves since of late and I really haven't seen her try much else. The music doesn't matter. But the moves do. Let's see if she can set them apart.As for Sasha. She is using strategy by using recurrent music but with different choreography. It may be best for her and let's hope so.
Just a question: didn't Lori choreograph Sheherazade (sp?) before they split? Also, who did choreo for Aranjuez (love that music, and Michelles seemed to too)?Originally Posted by Joesitz
Someone said Morozov choreographed Tosca and picked that music: I remember Kwan saying in an interview that the season before her Tosca Irina skated to it and everytime Kwan heard it in the arena she loved it...made me think she picked it just 'cuz she liked it (and if mathman is right about ther plan to take it easy for 2-3 seasons, why the heck not skate to something you like hearing??); also, the choreo for Tosca (at least as presented to us by Kwan) was just about exactly the same as Aranjuez, so my question is: did Morosov really pick this music, do the choreo too?
Bolero: yes a warhorse, but a risky and difficult one (and usually reserved for SP)...I still have this feeling that Kwan had a plan last year regarding Bolero that didn't pan out as she intended...but could be wrong. I would really love to know what Dean envisioned for this program (just to know, not to get in hyper criticize kwan mode)
ETA...sorry, i forgot my point: so i'm not so sure if we have an on track versus offtack thing going on (off track would be using war horses, on track not)...i'm not so sure the narrative is so simple: she had her artistically challenging phase and her sell out to war horses phase. Something defininately happened in 01-02 season with Sheherazade and the Olympics (and reusing her Rach short program after a long run with EoE) though: was it she didn't push her self artistically, or that she just couldn't land triple triple and felt (correctly i think) that she had too, or something else (private/personal perhaps)?
Last edited by emma; 08-30-2005 at 10:09 AM.
Sarah Kawahara did Shez and in an internet interview implied that the program performed in the Olympics was not what she choreographed.
Interesting and thanks (now i'm curious as to what Kawahara had envisioned for this program, and since i don't remember, did this program, like Bolero, change every time she performed it that season, or was it more or less the same from the first comp on?).Originally Posted by soogar

Aha , found the interview... it's a long one and further into it she said certain things were sacrificed in the program to fulfill technical demands .
Before she first performed the program, Kwan was quoted as saying something to the effect that she played a character in it, and not one that people would necessarily like.Originally Posted by emma
I thought this meant that she was going back to the Salome/Taj Mahal type program, away from the more abstract Lyra, but when I saw Sheherazade, I had to scratch my head at her description, because I thought it was flat with little character. It reminded me of the Tom Dubois character in Boondocks, who described his intention of becoming politically active as adding some expletives in his letters to Congress.
thanks soogar...this is great...I'm only partially through it all, but very interesting!Originally Posted by soogar

Wanting 2 drop a LS in my 95 silverado.
Welcome to the club. What is your question? Are you looking to buy a LS motor or do you what to know how to install??
---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------
Also do you want a car LS (aluiminum block) or a truck cast iron block??
i have an ls1 block forsale, out of a 99 camaro, had a spun rod in it, there is a bit of scarring on 1 of the cyl. walls! pm me if ur interested!
Sorry for the delay.... Def looking to buy all aluiminum LS, but also interested in an knowledge u can share on the swap mostly dealing comp & all the electronic issues that go with it.
Do u still have the LS?
yeah still got the block & the heads, pm sent!
How about this one???
Saw it at the Keystone show this weekend... SWEET!!
That would DEF get the job done haha, but tryin 2 stick with F.I. since its a cruiser. Im just looking to turn heads not race for pinks haha.
That would b awesome in my 80 malibu though!
did you check your used auto part. i got one for my truck out of a vette for $1000 with only 77k on it and no core charge.
Where is it you found this at? that ECU & all for $1000?
WELLER USED AUTO PARTS in Michigan, Grand Rapids http://www.partsbyweller.com/ this is the company I got it from.

text: I guess I should summarize. If feel you need to split them more three week before the honey flow and you want to maximize the yeild and you don't mind spending the money on a queen, then buy a queen so they don't have to lose another brood cycle they could have reared. If you can wait until about two weeks or less before the flow then I would just let them raise their own. It will save money and actually free up more bees for the harvest who don't have to care for brood.

Hello all,
I have the opportunity to put some hives in town this spring, and I am wondering what the pros and cons of having bees in town. The place I would put them is on a property whose owner I did a nice cutout for last spring. The hive that I cut out was a swarm that had moved in there about a month and a half before, and already had about 15 frames worth of brand new comb with 25-30 lbs of honey. It's still one of my best hives today. That was in late May that I did that cutout, and it had quite a substantial amout of stores already. Should I take advantage of this opportunity? Thanks in advance for the input.

[quote user="look@dafilm"][quote user="JPP"][quote user="look@dafilm"]Divisional sour grapes, lol. The Redskins ought to consider themselves lucky that they won more than 2 games.
Seriously though, there is a point to be made here. I am waiting for one Giants fan to admit that maybe, just maybe, the Giants might be one of the luckiest teams ever. The Giants won, yes, and good for them. But instead of "Superbowlzz babyzz!!!!!" humility might be useful here. The Giants lucked their way all the way through the playoffs this year.
Gotta be lucky to be good. But yeah I know what your saying but I don't think we were the luckiest Superbowl teams or anything. Our guys still had to make the plays and there was lots of mistakes for both sides in every giants game like penalties and stuff like that. Overall I agree though we were a 7-7 team we definitely need some luck what about the Miles overthrow by Romo possibly could have been a touchdown or at least a big gain and not given us enough time to come back in that 1st Cowboy game.[/quote]
I get that hustle "creates luck", and boy do the Giants sure hustle. But c'mon, there are things I just don't get and things you can't "create". Really? having your own fumbles bounce right back to you 3 times, recovering a "muff" because it bounced off a guys knee, etc. The Giants very quickly became the entire team version of Brett Favre this post-season and that's a sign of the Apocalypse, lol.
I guess just like 4 years ago it was "meant to be". 9999999999999/10000000000000 David Tyree doesn't make that catch. And I think I'm being generous with those odds. But, NYG is super bowl champions twice because of it so what are you gonna do.
Only a fool or a dead brained homer would deny the role of luck in championship run. The Giants certainly got some breaks on this one and on the 2007 run. There ought not be shame in it as it occurs in every championship run.
Some are breaks you make, some are just good bounces...but all of them combine to be the necessary makeup of a championship team.
It happens to all of them and the Giants are certainly no exception.

Reviews of this property
The apartment was really nice, close to the metro and comfortable.
The quarter is quite quiet and overall we had a great experience. I highly recommend to book this apartment. It has got a big double bed, one bunk bed and a single one. Jordi, our host has been really nice and has explained us many things. Thank you to the owner of the apartment and to Jordi !
It is conveniently located: 3 min walking to the Metro, about 20 min to the Old Town.
It was clean, with fresh bed sheets and bath towels.
Jordi, who showed us the apartment, was helpful enough.
The garage is on the opposite side of the street and there was no lift in the building: we had to drag our luggage across the street, then up the very narrow stairs to the third floor - almost impossible task if you have large suitcases.
There are two TINY rooms, one with a twin bed and a chair, the other with twin bunk beds and a chair. Once you put your luggage there you barely have room to turn around. The mattresses were old, crumpled and uncomfortable.
The third "bedroom" was actually a sofa bed or a futon tucked in one nook of the very small and crammed living room. No privacy whatsoever! No place to sit down either because the small sofa was the only place to put your suitcases.
The apartment is sorely and inexcusably lacking closet space. The only closet was next to the kitchen and was 50 cm wide: enough for about four jackets. There are no even hooks for clothes anywhere.
The dining table was jammed behind the entrance door, scarcely enough for four people, two of them squeezed in the back.
In the bathroom there was something wrong with the boiler: taking showers came down to choosing alternating bursts of scalding or, most of the time, icy cold water. Also the sink's drain was clogged. There was no hand soap or a soap bar. There were only two hand/face towels in the bathroom (one per family). The space is so small that when using the toilet, your face is directly over the bidet.
In the kitchen there was room for one person only and even she had to move sideways. There were no instructions how to use the appliances. Many small necessities like bottle openers or clothes pins were missing. The knives were very dull. Because there were not enough power outlets, or at least a multi plug power strip, the washer and the microwave could not be used simultaneously.
This tight apartment would be probably OK for a couple or a young family with 1-2 small children, but is absolutely unacceptable for four adults, as it was advertised.
1 star for apartment position and for Jordi.
La casa non è grandissima, soprattutto le camere da letto, ma complete di tutto il necessario. La posizione poi è ottima, a due passi dalla L3 che collega a tutte le attrazioni principali. Gentilissimo e molto disponibile il proprietario.
El apartamento era un poco pequeño, pero limpio y cómodo. el anfitrión muy amable, nos atendió de madrugada, y nos explicó como movernos por la ciudad. 100% recomendable.
Siamo stati in questo appartamento x 3 giorni, 2 adulti e 2 ragazzini.
Appartamento a 100m dalla metropolitana, vicino a ogni tipo di comfort, a 10min a piedi da piazza di spagna, supermercati e ristoranti vicini.
La pulizia dell'appartamento era spartana, ma non mancava nulla, dalla lavatrice al forno micronde.....x 3 giorni ideale!
Il proprietario Tony,una persona fantastica, appena siamo arrivati ci ha fornito tutte le indicazioni x muoverci e cartina alla mano x indirizzarci nel nostro soggiorno.
I proprietari dovrebbe essere tutti cosi.
Siamo stati ospiti di Jaime agosto 2015. Appartamento centrale carino pulito. Lui una persona carinissima e disponibilissima...
Reviews for this host's other properties
My husband and two friends had a great stay at Jaime's apartment. Jaime set up for his friend Miguel to pick us up at the airport and it was absolutely perfect. So easy and a quick ride from the airport. The apartment is in a great location and was very comfortable for the four of us. Thank you for the hospitality!
The Appartement was aus described, only there was no TV, but we didn't need one because we had an iPad and there was wifi.
The walls were not so thick, so one can hear the neighbours, but for us it was not a big Problem.
Jordi gave us a lot of tipps of what to visit as tourists and how to get there with Bus and Metro. Thanx again very much. The Appartment is in Barcelona Center two Metro Stations away from the Ramblas. You need 50-100 meter to the Metro Station.
when we had a question about the oven Jamie replied very quick and solved the problem for us.
In Summary, wie can recommend the Appartement and we would came back again.
Property as pictured, nice and clean. No TV so if you have kids may need some other form of entertainment for them at night. It does have good WiFi though. Kitchen has all you need to cook. Problem for us was the stairs, lots of them and having lots of luggage and 2 kids it was very difficult. The front bedroom was noisy at night as there is a bar downstairs and hard to sleep, back bedroom is fine. There is plenty of shops around to eat & shop and the train station is at the end of the street. Owner arranged a taxi to collect us at the airport, and take us back to airport which was very convenient.
Did not meet the owner, only a man who met us and explained everything to us. He did stay a while at the apartment explaining it all (we just wanted to change and rest up). Overall apartment was clean, just hard to go up & down stairs all the time. Location was great, close to everything you need.

In the spirit of the holiday season, Bankrate's credit card blog is giving you the gift of credit card tips! We will be posting one tip a day over the next 12 business days to make sure you and your wallet are merry and bright once your Christmas list is completed. Happy shopping!
Are you and your spouse holiday-shopping within the same parameters? If not, that could spell credit card trouble later.
In a recent survey from Capital One, 2 out of 5 people hadn't discussed a gift-giving budget with their significant other. Of those who did, 57 percent didn't expect their significant other to stay within budget, anyway.
A strict budget not only keeps your family out of unmanageable credit card debt, it also can help both of you to avoid hurt feelings over unbalanced gifts. Imagine if you unwrap socks and underwear this year, while your significant other gets an Xbox. There's a good chance you'll be holding that over your loved one's head for years to come.
The same philosophy goes for other family members. What if your sister spends a paycheck on an iPad, while you bought her a scarf and gloves set? Sure, the thought counts, but sisters will be sisters and she'll probably joke about it down the road. "Remember when I got you that iPad ..."
Setting gift-giving limits helps to alleviate this money stress. An easier way for families is to make gift-exchanging about fun rather than an amount.
My family cut down the gift-giving among adults a few years ago and replaced it with Secret Santa, which is easier on the wallet, but still within holiday tradition. Yankee swap is also another fun idea for big, competitive families.
"Within families, people can be more pragmatic," says Shane Holdaway, president of Capital One Canada, "and you can still have a good Christmas."
How does your family set limits to keep holiday spending manageable? Share your ideas!
