Bundle Me Shelled Urban Baby Snowsuit Bunting
The problem with snowsuits is that they aren't always safe for car seats- the bulky padding interferes with the straps. That's why these are such a great thing. They work with car seats, strollers and joggers and the entire top zips off for when they're in the car. I love the sassy quilting on this pink one- so chic!

Smokers' muscles tire much more quickly than those of non-smokers, irrespective of how many cigarettes they smoke per day or how long they have smoked.
Smokers' muscles tire much more quickly than those of non-smokers, irrespective of how many cigarettes they smoke per day or how long they have smoked. In his PhD thesis, Rob Wüst concluded that smoking has an immediate effect on muscles, possibly as a result of the reduced oxygen supply and oxygen deficiency in the muscle due to substances in cigarette smoke. He studied how changes in skeletal muscles can result from smoking and will obtain his doctorate for this work on 9 April 2009.
Wüst used smokers and non-smokers with normal lung functions as his test subjects. He stimulated the upper leg muscles of his subjects, causing these muscles to contract regularly. This enabled him to see what happens to the muscles without having to take any differences in motivation into account. It appeared that the smokers' muscles tired much sooner than those of the non-smokers, irrespective of the number of cigarettes the subject smoked per day or how long he or she had smoked. It therefore looks as though smoking has an immediate effect on muscles, possibly by reducing the supply or use of oxygen, due to substances in the cigarette smoke.
It this is the case, it is not only important that smokers stop smoking to prevent worsening of lung problems during chronic lung failure (COPD) - a sickness that is becoming increasingly frequent in the Netherlands – but may also contribute to the rapid improvement of these patients' exercise capacity.

Challenging us to build a boot to his exact specs that would slay all aspects of freestyle, Jeremy insisted his boot be within reach of anyone who wants it.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Triosk Meets Jan Jelinek
After encountering the abstracted, loop-based "jazz" of Jan Jelinek's minimal dub masterpiece Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records (which culls its source material, albeit unrecognizably, from vintage jazz albums) on a late-night radio broadcast, Triosk began incorporating samples of Jelinek's work into their live shows, improvising in response to the gradual mutations of loops played from a mini-disc. Jelinek's November 2001 tour of Australia gave the musicians an opportunity to meet and develop the mutually engaged creative relationship that resulted, two years later, in the album 1+3+1. A collection of collaborations conducted through the intercontinental mail, and titled to reflect the process of its creation, it was comprised of pieces begun as Triosk improvisations atop pre-recorded Jelinek material, which the producer then further modified, edited, and mastered in Berlin. The collaborators appeared in concert together on a 2004 Australian tour, including, fittingly, an appearance at the first Jazz:NOW festival in Sydney.
Jelinek also appeared on two tracks of Moment Returns, the first proper Triosk album, which was recorded around the same time as 1+3+1 but not released until 2004, and for which the group moved from Scape (Jelinek's home base) to the London-based Leaf label -- an appropriate fit considering Leaf's roster of artists melding electronic and acoustic elements in innovative ways: Colleen, Psapp, and Manitoba, among others. The more cohesively organic though still distinctly electronic Headlight Serenade followed in July of 2006; Adrian Klumpes issued a likeminded solo effort, Be Still, that November. In December 2007 Laurence Pike announced his decision to leave and thereby effectively dissolve the band, citing irreconcilable musical and personal differences. ~ K. Ross Hoffman, Rovi

I will fess up to knowing the names of more English Football wives, than I do members of the Australian football (yes, I am now used to calling it 'football', not 'soccer', as for some reason this seems to mortally offend people)
I have NEVER seen anything like England's obsession with World Cup football. There are St George flags on everything you could possibly think of: shirts, cars, buses, g-strings, etc. etc. There is a new line of world cup sandwiches in the store, and you can even get football shaped coke bottles. Our work has set up a big screen in our boardroom, so we can all watch England play at work. Great! Love seeing the poms get worked over! It is completely out of control. Someone told me, that really, it wasn't about the football at all, but another chance for the English to beat the Germans???????? And yet for all the hysteria, they are sooo critical of their team. The moment they make one mistake, everyone starts moaning and groaning about what happened last world cup, and the one before that, and the one before that, and how rubbish the team is, even though they haven't lost a game yet. No wonder the poor buggers never win the cup.
The other English obsession is of course, the bloody weather
Summer has been pretty funny to watch though - the fake tan bottles come out, and the majority of the population is a rather eery shade of bright, streaky orange. Either that or they are bright red, usually in pretty unflattering places. The shirts are stripped off (for the guys, although the girls make a good go of it too) to reveal beer bellies in all their glory, the short skirts are out in force, and there is not a scrap of empty space in London that hasn't been turned into a beer garden. It was 28 degrees the other day, and the headlines read 'heatwave - London swelters'. Muppets!
As usual, there are various photos from my wanderings attached. Hope you enjoy!
Gee, it's hot today, innitt?

The Search Widens Before it Narrows
Before buying a boat was contingent on too many other things, picking out the right boat was easy. Because you knew actually owning it was a long way off. Now that almost all the contingencies are gone and the real search is on, I've found the list of possible "suspects" is widening.
As we visit brokers and they show us what they have, as we talk to other owners, our boat knowledge broadens. Makes and models we never considered or were even aware of and now being considered. Even though we've taken some possibilities off the list, the list is still longer than before.
It's kind of like walking into the nail salon with a few colors ideas in your mind only to find out the salon has just taken in a shipment of all new OPI colors. http://i867.photobucket.com/albums/a...psb4ce1d03.gif
Re: The Search Widens Before it Narrows
I put together a lot of crazy spreadsheets and decision tree doodles during that process. I realized around that time that performance wasn't that important. As much as I dreamed about wet rails and white knuckle tacks, it was clear that I needed a family cruiser that could take a beating. I bought a sound boat that needed a lot of restoration, but mostly cosmetic.
Re: The Search Widens Before it Narrows
I have started my own search, which is still in the early stages, and as I work my way through the choices in hull, keel, sail configuration, motor, and everything else I narrow and widen and narrow again. In the end what I buy will have to be a compromise on all the features that I want in order to get what I need in a package that I am willing to spend the money to get.
I spent an hour on the phone with the broker I trust on this earlier today, he and I have been working this out and we were discussing a couple of boats he is recommending, which are currently priced about $40k above where I want to be on price, but we both believe that this is going to go down a lot. I was looking at one, which recently sold, the original asking price was $75,600.00 and it sold at $15,000.00 a $60k difference in the price. My question to him is how that could possibly be, and his answer was that the seller was not in tune with the market and he finally got in tune with it. If you saw the boat you would be amazed that it went for that low of a price, and yet that is the state of the current economy and market, now that makes me nervous, because I hate to overpay for anything LOL.
Look, research, and when you find one do like I said in the other thread, offer a much lower price, and it will probably be accepted.
If anyone doubts, as some always do about the boat I am referring to they are welcome to PM me and I will send the link that shows the price and the original asking price. It was a very nice looking boat, but I have no idea as to what hidden monkeys may have been in the barrel to effect the overall price.
Re: The Search Widens Before it Narrows
Oops. I didn't realize that this was a HerSailnet post.
Re: The Search Widens Before it Narrows
Re: The Search Widens Before it Narrows
Well, most of the posts here are from the guys. So no need to feel like an intruder. :eek:
We're in quiet disagreement (minor) regarding performance. It really only matters to me in that the boat will take us from point A to point B a bit faster. Most of my sailing was done on a Columbia 45 that needs a small hurricane to get her up to speed. We motored a LOT! When taking that 8-12 hour trip, I'd like to have the option to sail if there's some wind. My So wants to go fast everywhere.
Every salesperson/broker has boats they suggest for you and when you actually see them, some of them end up on the list of possibilities. Right now, more are being added than subtracted.
Re: The Search Widens Before it Narrows
Well, at least someone is keeping the boat brokers busy. I suspect most have an abundance of free time on their hands...
Re: The Search Widens Before it Narrows
Fast with comfort for weekend sailing/week long cruises implies a catamaran.
Hate to widen your list, but there it is.
Then again, the Sabre 34 you were looking at is another very, very good choice.
Sometimes you have to ask yourself, is this your last boat, or you next boat. I'm on #4 in 12 years - refining our needs, wants, and desires by sampling the mix.
Re: The Search Widens Before it Narrows
In the end, we were thankful for my three years of research (two years of narrowing it down to three, one year of stalking the owners associations and email lists). It isn't our last boat, but we're more than happy with the boat we bought to sail now because we knew before writing the check the disadvantages, the common issues, the upgrades that would have to be made, sailing performance, etc. Four years in, we have yet to say "Damn! If we had known that..." Because we did.
Re: The Search Widens Before it Narrows
Chuckles, did anyone ever tell you you are a troublemaker? ;)
No, the cat is out. How do cat owners even find a slip? Or do they pay double on the slip fee? Anyway, neither of us like the cat.

Learn More About Running A Blog With These Great Tips!
A blog can be something you're doing for business or something you're doing for a fun hobby. When you really think about it, your blog is your own haven for content. However, remember that it is important to create and maintain your blog the right way so that you attract the most visitors to your site. The information in this article will help you figure out the running a blog process.
Update as frequently as possible to keep your readers happy. Make a habit of interacting with them. Consistent communication with your readers can help establish a strong connection between you and your readers that results from the exchange of ideas with one another. If you feel like your blog is not something you want to continue with, think about all the people who follow you and how they will be disappointed.
It is important that your blog uses search engine optimization. Your blog needs this in order to appear in search results and be seen by readers. Choose specific, popular keywords to use in both your blog title and throughout the entry itself so that you will attract more readers.
You can help raise interest in your blog by reading and commenting on other blogs you're interested in. If you have a Google Reader account, set up a folder specifically for blogs that relate to your niche or blogging topic. Continually comment with interesting remarks.
Make sure your blog is updated often. This will help you to increase traffic, as well as maintain the current visitors you have. If you don't post new content on a regular basis, people won't get into the habit of visiting your blog regularly. Write at least one post per day.
Embed pictures into your posts. You must have heard that a picture is worth 1000 words. This is very important when it comes to running a blog. Images can communicate a lot more than simply words. This is why you should include images as often as possible.
Make sure that your readers can post comments, and don't forget to respond! This allows your blog to maintain more of a community feel, where others are actively participating so that relationships are formed. If your readers see that you regularly reply to reader comments, they will come back to your blog to see if you have answered their comment.
The only way to succeed at blog posting is to write about a topic you love. Your content will be more interesting to your readers, if it is about something that you care about. Doing this will keep your readers interested and attract more readers.
In longer blog posts that you make, it is important that you separate the article and use subheadings throughout. When you make your posts easier to read, you'll retain a wider readership. Breaking up your articles is easy to do and will improve your blog's readability.
Blog Posting
When blog posting, don't just start doing one thing and never change. Approach your blog as a business and always aim to improve it. You can pick up valuable tips from seasoned bloggers, implementing a variety of techniques and strategies into your blog posting approach. You can keep going forward by constantly learning and improving your new methods of blogging.
Take advantage of other types of social media outlets to bring attention to your blog, but don't overdo it. If every one of your Twitter tweets has your blog links, this can actually turn some people off. Post your links in between other posts or tweets that are relevant and interesting to your followers.
Thoroughly research the topic of each post you are going to blog about. If you do not know what you are talking about, your posts may be full of errors and falsehoods. The more you know, the easier it will be to respond to the comments that are left on your posts.
The tips you just read should have shown you how easy blogging is. You just have to learn a few techniques, and keep working on your blog all the time. Since you now know what to do, you can take that knowledge and apply it to your writing a blog journey. Where the final destination happens to be is all up to you.

Blogs Liberty and Power Jingoism VS. EmpireJul 16, 2006 4:27 pm
Jingoism VS. Empire
Now, in the latter part of the 19th century, a cheap, shallow, mindless militarism appeared amongst a certain portion of the population in Britain. This short-sighted, militaristic egotism was nicely expressed in the refrain of a popular music-hall ditty ('Macdermott's War Song'): "We don't want to fight, but by jingo if we do/ We've got the ships, we've got the men / We've got the money too".
The belligerence here is conditional. To embody the 21st century sentiment above -- the first line has to be unconditionally aggressive: "We _do_ want to fight, & by jingo _when_ we do…"
The 'War Song' came out in 1878. Early that year, Disraeli sent the navy to Constantinople, to prevent Russian forces from entering. (Lord Derby, the foreign secretary, resigned in protest.) War fever gripped many (not all) people in Britain -- & those who opposed Disraeli, termed this sabre-rattling, 'jingoism' (from the refrain of the War Song.) Jingoism, precisely because it is so bellicose & therefore can see only the very short-term, has always been recognised as a danger -- indeed, as in opposition to -- the long-term interests of a settled Empire.
Such myopic, bloodstained jingoism is all that Boot & his ilk have any knowledge of. They know nothing of long-term, slow-growing developments -- legal & cultural. Killing people is easy. But such blood-lust cannot build an Empire.
What Roman civilisation left behind was the foundation of what is now Western Europe: Roman law, the Romance languages, the Latin vocabulary in other languages, Latin & Latin literature, the road system, urban centres, etc. The Roman war machine, being destructive, left only some army usages (the layout of a British army camp still follows the Roman pattern.)
During the British Imperial period British settlers in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa & East Africa in effect extended British society overseas. In other territories, this period left the common law, the English language & its literature, a whole host of cultural practices -- from schools & universities to political institutions, to administration, newspapers, cricket, etc. Thus it produced a distinctive set of cultural traits & links amongst a number of peoples. I quote from Mark Steyn -- a Canadian -- in the Spectator 13 August 2005 [http://www.spectator.co.uk/contents.php]:
" 'British' was the prototype multiethnic nationality: if you were a doctor from Kingston-on-Thames or a nurse from Kingston, Jamaica, or an assistant choreographer from Kingston, Ontario, you were British — and….race didn't come into it. [In] law, there was no distinction between a British subject in Wales and a British subject in Tobago. Britishness was…a genuinely multicultural identity…. It's always been the great outward, global, embracing identity".

Most definitely not. Except for the 'anciennes colonies' in the West Indies, the French distinguished between those who had assimilitated completely -- turned into mini-Frenchmen -- & others. The latter were 'sujets' -- subjects; only a tiny handful (the former) were full French citizens (perhaps a few thousand.)The French went in for lofty aims -- the spread of civilisation ; the British just wanted peace & trade. -- See Prosser Gifford & Wm Roger Louis eds, France & Britain in Africa (Yale UP 1971.)
Only after 1945 was French citizenship granted to African subjects, but not, I think, to those in Indochina.

Does anyone know if an eurasier dog tends to be hypoallergenic.
My boyfriend and I are thinking of getting an Eurasier. He is quite allergic to dogs but has spent some time with an eurasier puppy. He seems to be ok but was just wondering if anyone has anymore information or experience.

They are not hypoallergenic. Some people who react to dogs don't react to Eurasiers, but I also know people that do react. It would be best for him to make multiple visits to a home with more than one Eurasier, preferably adults, and see what happens.

Turning the tide
Still rebuilding after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, Japan's water sector is struggling to cope with increasing urbanization and a stalling economy. Is it time to turn to the private sector? Kenichiro Fukuda reports.
Japan's water sector faces considerable challenges, including:
- Declining tariffs
- Growth of new cities
- Massive rebuild efforts in the wake of 2011's natural disasters
Investment is urgently needed to renew the country's aging water assets and ensure future security of supply. Opportunities for international utilities could promise great rewards – but significant barriers must be overcome.
Tariffs on the decline
Increasing urbanization and the spread of new cities are putting more pressure on the security of Japan's water supply. Lower demand due to the economic downturn and declining population – set to shrink by 30% by 2060 – has reduced tariff revenue for water utilities.
Unfortunately, while tariffs are on the slide, the need for new investment in Japan's water sector is at an all-time high.
Many of the country's water systems were constructed during Japan's economic boom of the 1960s and need urgent renewal. The earthquake and tsunami of 2011 also caused extensive damage to Japan's infrastructure, including water pipes, sewers and plants.
While repairing and strengthening these assets is a Government spending priority, wider post-earthquake reconstruction efforts have decreased the available funding.
The crucial question now is how to ensure that these aging assets are ready to meet the challenges of Japan now and in future.
Radical reforms needed
While the newly-elected Liberal Democratic Government has pledged to increase public works spending in the next budget by 20%, the long-term sustainability of Japan's water supply remains uncertain.
Radical reforms are needed. Authorities may consider putting in place one single, administrative body to oversee both water and wastewater services in a municipality or merging the water services in adjacent municipalities.
Merging the multiple bodies currently responsible for the sector would:
- Enable economies of scale
- Optimize assets
- Ensure greater flexibility to respond to emergencies, including natural disasters
It also seems inevitable that the private sector will begin to play a bigger role in the renewal of Japan's infrastructure, including its water industry. Increased private sector participation would:
- Bring new insights
- Introduce competition
- Attract the investment necessary to upgrade assets
Japan's politicians have traditionally been opposed to privatization, but current conditions may force sector transformation. Public/private partnerships in other infrastructure projects, including Osaka's huge subway system and the Kansai International Airport, could pave the way for private participation in the water sector.
In 2011, the Private Finance Initiatives Act was amended to open up the sector to private investors, but these changes are yet to be harmonized with current water and wastewater regulation frameworks.
If these regulatory changes advance, the opportunities for international utilities to play a part in Japan's water sector could be significant. Potential investors should watch this space – and seek careful advice before diving into Japan's water sector.
How we can help
We have extensive experience in Japan's water and wastewater sectors, advising on the development and management of many of the country's key water projects. We are working with leading utility companies throughout the world, developing practical approaches to the challenges of changing market conditions.

I can't believe you took a picture of roadkill!
But I have to say the picture of you after the dusty drive was hilarious, but I guess it meant you no longer needed to hide your ginger roots anymore!! My mates have just been through Laos and they bought the electric fly-swatting tennis racket too - must be the hottest souvenir in the country! Oh and they said the same thing about the lemon juice - apparently it's very dangerous after opium, so let that be a warning to you! I'm now wanting to book a trip to Laos thanks to your blog - might need your notes for the trip!
Still loving it in Laos - how can you not
Loading Map
However we got a little pick up - full stop - and with active suspension. Meaning little to none. Funnily enough no one else was volunteering to get into however Yuri, Bjorn, Jacob and I thought what the heck and squeezed in with 4 locals. So that's eight in the back of a little pick up - cosy.
It was pretty mental getting to our first port of call about 5 miles as it was a rutted back road and we were getting thrown around everywhere. However, it became quite comical after a while, especially for Yuri aka Kinky Boy (as the numpty likes to be called) and I. So when we stopped and a few people decided to get out, Yuri and I decided to stay in the back of the pick up (along with a couple of locals who had no choice) instead of moving to a more comfy bus. It was only 2 more hours, how bad could it be? And what a laugh, it was easy one of the most memorable journeys of my life.
Quality laugh but an absolute pain to get off. I had to wash my hair 4 times and I felt like I needed to scrub off the skin on my face to get the red dust out. Ah well, no pain no gain.
By now there was ten of us. 6 from the Gibbon Experience - moi, Bjorn, Yuri, Ruben, Wolfgang and Caroline - plus a four others we met on the boat. Tine (Belgian), Dorien (Dutch) and Chris and Nick from the lovely town of Musselburgh. For the uneducated this is a town just south of Edinburgh.
After spending a totally unmemorable night in the most transient place I've ever been - Pat Beng - we arrived at Luang Prabang. On the way we passed apparently one of the main sights of the Luang Prabang area - Pak Ou caves. Don't go, it's rubbish. I spoke to a few people about it and no-one liked it.
The first day in Luang Prabang, Ruben and I decided to explore the town on bikes. Taking in a game of locals playing boules and kids playing marbles for money. Boy those kids sure can play a mean pinball, I mean marble ball...at night I got to experience a bar called the 'Hive' which would not look out of place in any city in the world. Highly recommended except for the Lao Lao which should have a health warning attached to it.
Next day Ruben and I decided to part company while he headed more quickly for the Cambodian border and I stayed to enjoy Luang Prabang. I couldn't leave so quickly and even the 4 days we stayed there I could probably have happily tagged 2 or 3 more days on. This left 5 of us - Yuri, Bjorn, Tine, Dorien and big bad Alan.
There is also a great food market where you can get a heaped plate of scrummy food for 50 cents. I plumped for the barbecued Mekong fish which was a delectable delight as was the coconut bread I bought too.
If only for the view on this walkway.
There was a lot of monks, must have been 200+, all waiting patiently behind the head monk as he received his alms first. The head monk is 80 years old and is unable to walk far, however he always gets up to initially lead the procession.
It's a great and moving spectacle, however as often is seen, it was spoiled a little by a few (tourists) who insisted on either standing about 2 feet away from the monks snapping away at their faces without ever thinking of being respectful and asking their permission. These are the type of people who I am sure would be the first ones who would complain if someone was to do the same to them. In fact that gives me an idea, and I know what I'll do the next time I see this...
On leaving Luang Prabang I had another memorable journey, this time to Vang Vieng. We got on the bus and about 1 hour into the journey one of my 2 Dutch mates turns around and says something in Dutch to the other one, who then leans across to me and says the guy 2 rows in front has a gun! So rationally or irrationally - I'm not sure which - I think flipping brilliant we are going to get robbed. So I start to hide stuff down the back of the seats - the most important being my photo memory card. To be honest I couldn't have given two hoots about my passport or credit cards. They can be replaced but my photos couldn't. Then spend the next 1/2 hour trying to work out my escape route and peek to see if I can see the gun too while avoiding contact with the guy who looked pretty dodgy. Anyway you'll be glad to know that all was well.
He was armed (I saw the machine gun under his jacket at one of the rest stops) however he actually was an armed guard on the bus to prevent any robberies rather than commit them - there was a few about 3 years ago and the Laos government wanted to be extra careful it didn't happen again.
It's like a tacky tropical 'Spanish' resort. Where all the food is pretty much the same - either pizza or pancakes. They have perpetual 'Friends' re-runs playing in most of the bars. There is also a few who run 'Family Guy' re-runs and that's just hilarious so I admit I spent a damn fine 4 hours watching them one night.
Fortunately you can get away from this by finding a guesthouse next to the river and away from the town centre. We did this and stayed at a place called Champa Lao which had sensational views from their restaurant/deck. Little did I know that I would be spending an inordinate amount of time looking at these over the next few days.
One night we went out and had a chicken pizza. I got up the next morning and rushed to the toilet and dropped the kids off at the pool. When I went onto the deck Bjorn was lying there in the fetal position and informed me he'd been puking all night. Sniggering at myself I lay down and about 1/2 hour later, I thought mmm, I'm not feeling so tip-top. Leaning up I suddenly realise that things were going to rapidly go downhill so I put my hand up next to my face, just in time for me to vomit.
Now the local kids aren't daft as they hung around waiting for the stupid westerners to swing in and then dived in after them to see if they dropped anything, under the premise that they were looking for fish. I am sure a lot did.
Vientiane is the capital city of Laos and is tiny. One of the smallest capital cities in the world. I know some people think it's crap however I actually liked it. Granted it's seen better days and could do with some serious painting and repair work, however it's got nice wide avenues and some beautiful white washed buildings. You can really get the sense that it was special back in the mid-early 20th century when it was a French colonial capital.
Beer Lao is effectively the only beer sold in Lao and luckily it's good. Carlsberg must think so too as it bought the company. The four of us were the only people there so we got plied with a few cheeky little beverages, giving some stickers and shown around.
We spent one day putting the world to rights with a girl from Toronto (Nicole) and another from the mighty Chicago (Lliann). The next biking around the island watching the island life of fishing and rice farming though clearly in a few years (if not already) there'll be more money being made from tourism than anything else. Final day we spent being intrepid explorers and fishing using our homemade fishing equipment - even managed to catch one fish! Or rather Yuri did.
Sadly Laos is behind me and I've got to say I loved every minute of it (projectile vomit apart) and if you get the chance to visit. Do it and don't hesitate a moment. You hear me? Good.
Other memorable moments of Central and Southern Laos were:
(1) Experiencing Laos time for opening and departure times. It's risky to follow departure times too closely as they may leave early (normally if full) or leave late (normally if not full). For example, we were 1 1/2 hours late leaving Houei Xai on the slow boat to Luang Prabang as we were waiting for 10 people to get their visas after crossing from Thailand as the person at the immigration office had decided to take their lunch break about 10am instead of 12pm. Personally I would have said tough and let them get the next day's boat, however as you all know I am a heartless sod.
(3)Laos toilets are definitely an improvement from the Chinese and Japanese ones as they are sit downs like Western toilets. However what is weird about them is that they rarely flush, instead there is a big bin of water and a ladle and you do more of a manual flush.
PS You may or may not have guessed but these guys are actually better than I am...
(5) A nice French jeweller in Luang Prabang making a necklace from a snail shell that Tine had found the day before at Kwang Si Waterfalls. Then not wanting any money for it.
(6) You can get fly swatters here which are like electric tennis rackets and they're wicked and have helped me improve my backhand no end.
(7) The owner from our guesthouse in Vang Vieng thinking that we'd been ill on 'Happy Shakes' rather than food poisoning and told us to stay away from lemon juice as it would be very dangerous for us. We tried to tell him otherwise but I don't think he believed us.
(8) Sitting in a restaurant in Vang Vieng which seemed to have nothing to drink in it. When we asked for a coke they scurried across the road to another restaurant and served it to us. Same with Fanta. My pineapple shake proved to be a bit more of a challenge as that required a scooter ride to get the necessary fruit.
(9) I love sticky rice. It's a certain type of rice which you get in Laos (maybe Thailand too I don't know) and is a mixture of rice and cement but dead tasty. Now I'm in Cambodia I sure am missing it.
(10) Sunsets in this part of the world are really quick - like only a minute long.
(11) Meeting a group of 3 hippie travellers. Two of which had wives who were elsewhere, one even had a child but was away travelling and had been for 6 years, still 'keeping it cool'. One of the wives was actually finishing publishing a novel in Italian. Her husband is translating it into English and it'll be called 'Beautiful Piggish Souls' by Francesca Ferrando. You heard it here first.
(12) Staying over night on our kayaking trip and the 3 guides taking better rooms than we had. We were not happy campers, as we told them.
(13) Going to a local market and seeing gross things such as snake and squirrels. They even had some NSync CDs now that really is gross.
(14) Seeing too many road crashes. One a fatal one just outside of Vientiane were some young girl had been killed and her scooter had caught fire and was still ablaze when we passed it. Another one in Siem Reap which must have happened 30 seconds before we got there and fingers crossed the bike driver lived, but I am not too confident about that. As you might have guessed very few people wear bike helmets.
(16) Getting the best tuk-tuk driver in Pakse who flagged down a bus for us saving us about 3 or 4 hours.
(17) Constantly seeing the same faces when you went from place to place. Apart from the North of Laos there is a pretty obvious route which lots of people take. Saw one Belgian guy - Dean - in 6 different places - damn stalker!
(18) Finding out from Nicole and Lliann that you can make some good money teaching English in Taiwan. They managed to save about $1,500 each month in the 2 years they were there. South Korea is apparently pretty lucrative too but most other Asian countries are not - in particular China.
(19)Laos is definitely much more like a holiday than China. There are a lot more travellers around (mostly coming from Thailand) and you can nearly always find someone who can speak good English. Overall this is a good and bad thing as it's definitely easier when travelling about however in someways it's a little less rewarding as there is less challenges.

What I really like about this cream as compared with NOW brand is that it penetrates the skin lots quicker. When using other brands I feel like I'm forever rubbing it into my body trying to get it to absorb. This is the best absorbed product EVER!

This product works well & I would buy it again. Stops hot flashes & lifts your mood out of sadness & gloom. Progesterone is called the "happy hormone" & this lives up to the name.
my husband loves this stuff :)

my husband loves my progesterone because he can tell a difference in my attitude when I am using it. I, too, can tell a difference. I am calmer and less irritable. it has also helped to regulate my cycle. I read John Lee's book and became a firm believer in supplementing with progesterone!

Have only been using this product since November 16 2011. So far have found it very good. In comparison with the progesterone cream which I needed a prescription for and it was made up by a compounding pharmacy.I find this product easier to use. I like the idea of coming in smaller quantities as I am sure it looses it strength in bigger lots. The one I was getting from the pharmacy was in 100gram jars. The source naturals one takes 14 days to arrive in Australia from the time of ordering. 27/6/2014 Why change the progesterone cream into a jar. That means every time it is opened it loses it strength because of air getting to the cream. Much better in the tubes.
Great Cream

I've been buying this product for several years now and it definitely helps w/ hormone balance. Plus it's at a reasonable price. Wouldn't be without it.
A favorite.

This is the third progesterone product I've tried from iHerb and it's the best one for me. I had some unpleasant side effects from the others, including miserable ringing in the ears and bloat around the waist that didn't improve over time. I take it to help protect against age related bone loss.

My doctor suggested a progesterone cream because of how sore my chest was during my "time of the month". I followed her instructions, which were nearly identical to the ones on the package, and it worked wonderfully. I no longer find myself in pain when undressing for bed or getting dressed in the morning. Did some shopping and found this one to be the best in my budget. I will be using this from now on.
Good results

I was sceptical that a mere cream would make a difference to my menopause symptoms and I have been pleasantly surprised. I started noticing a difference within days - reduced hot flushes, improved skin condition, more energy and better moods; and I have had no ill effects so far.

DId not rise
Is there are simple explanation for the reason why a bread will not rise very much (final prove). The bread doubled during first prove, once I put it in the tins, it rose only slightly and there was no oven spring. The bread was quite heavy and dense. Tastes OK, but not as light and fluffy as I have made in the past (using all white plain flour eg lesson 1 loaf on this site)
I did experiment this time using 350g white flour, 150g wholemeal flour, 50g linseed, 50g sunflower seeds, 50g rolled oats, salt, 7g instant yeast, 330ml water. I'd like to know what went wrong so I learn from my mistakes.
I'd be grateful for any advice. Thanks Chris

This is a blog to chronicle this portion of the life of Staff Sgt. Jason Ross, my son, as he mends, after an I.E.D. explosion, on March 7, 2011, while serving his country in Afghanistan.
Saturday, June 9, 2012
June 9, 2012
Yesterday Linda (wife/mom) came in to San Diego and we got a chance to visit with the grand kids, for a few minutes. We'd hoped to spend a little more time with them, but it didn't happen. We took off at about 18:20 (6:20pm) so that we could get up to see David, Miriam and Dylan. We've been wanting to see the two of them for several weeks now, and we have a chance so we've taken it. Jason is being taken care of and all should be okay, and besides, if there is a need they can always call me, or worst case, 9-1-1. Anyway, Friday was a relaxed day for Jason and we spent most of it at home. He was not wanting to move too much, so he didn't go to any appointments on Friday. Next week we find out about the hyperbaric chamber schedule and once that gets started we will need to figure out the rest of his schedule, though he still wants to get in as much as possible. Linda and I will be back Sunday night and then we will begin working to keep him on track for the next level of treatment that he will be getting, so it should be interesting. Take care and stay tuned for the next exciting adventure.
Thank you, for all your continued prayers and support.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I had a GM Gold Card for 20+ years. I used it numerous times to purchase, new or PEP vehicles from GM. I had a $1475. credit in 2006 toward a new car purchase. I was at the dealership, when GM Gold Card declined its use for new car purchase. The dealer told me they had trouble using GM Gold car credits, so I bought the car with cash down instead.
GM Gold car notified me by mail they were canceling my Gold Card, and issuing me a world card at their discretion. I had no recourse except to destroy the new card, and move on. I feel I was cheated and GM Gold card still owes me $1475. toward a new GM car purchase. I used my Gold GM card for all my purchases, and they reneged on their end of the agreement.

I have today ran the Leicester 1/2 & had one of my worst performances ever having run out of steam about mile 7 & walk/jogging the rest. I am no stranger to 1/2s & felt I had trained adequately for this. The previous 2 1/2s I did went pretty well. I ate all the carbs yesterday, started today with a bowl of porridge etc etc. Has anyone got any tips how to avoid this as I have just signed up for the Bedford 1/2 in December & don't want a repeat!!
You shouldn't really be hitting the wall after 7 miles. Did you go off too fast? I'm assuming it wasn't a hot day? Perhaps you ate/ drank too much- sounds like the amount of food/ drink was more than really necessary for a 1/2
Or just put it down to a bad day.
Not having a suffient taper - too many races too close together?
I had an absolute pants race today - I know I'm just getting over a cold and ran a hm two weeks ago when I had the cold and had a poor run then, though better than today by a long shot.
When I finished I just wanted to sleep, I also know that my rhr is elevated still, don't run with hrm but I know that my hr is higher than normal as I can feel it. All I wanted to do post race is sleep - for 13 miles thats abnormal.
Don't knock yourself over one bad run, though I know yu want to because I am right now.
It really does sound like you are eating / drinking too much before the race. I have max one bottle of water before a hm. Try not to drink during a race, just a mouthful of water and spit it out.
What was the terrain / elevation like? Did you hit the hills too hard? Just bog down? So much can go wrong.
Back to the drawing board.
M...eldy, Small world eh although runners scene even smaller!! To be honest it was the only 1/2 I could find that fitted round my shifts. Have you run this before? what is the couse like, from what I have seen looks ok!
Hitting the wall after 7miles i would be gutted too,i ran 7.5mile today with a stinking head cold,just a bad run mate every run isnt the same,and also i thought you hit the wall on a full marathon at around 20miles?
Peter Johnson 10 wrote (see)
Did drink quite a lot of lucozade sport isotonic drink before & during race.
could have got an insulin spike from that and then a drop off causing lethargy. I would avoid sports drink prior to a run. On a half I normally take my own Isotonic drink and have just a couple of sips every 3 or 4 miles.
You know, it's been shown that you run better slightly dehydrated then fully hydrated

Hitting the wall is not a goal, train properly and you will avoid it !!

Louisville and Rutgers will play at 3:00 p.m. followed by the USF/Memphis game at 7:00 p.m. "I am really proud of the team after the way we played the first day," said head coach Lelo Prado. "To come out and beat a great Louisville team says a lot about the young men we have in our clubhouse." "Jimmy is good enough to pitch against anyone in America and he proved it again today."Louisville got off to a quick starter manufacturing a run in the first as Nick Solak scored on a sacrifice fly by Alex Chittenden to give the Cardinals an early 1-0.Luke Maglich got things going for USF in the third drawing a two-out walk and moving up to second on an Austin Lueck single into leftfield. On a 2-2 count, Kyle Teaf tied the ballgame with a single into centerfield allowing Maglich to score on the play. An inning later, Zac Gilcrease led off the frame with a single into leftfield on a 0-2 count and moved up to second on a sacrifice bunt by Buddy Putnam. Luke Borders than had a great at-bat fouling off several pitches before delivering the game-winning hit to leftfield plating Gilcrease. After the first inning, Herget really settled down for the Bulls retiring 13 in a row before Solak picked up his second hit of the game in the sixth. The right-hander dug deep striking out Jeff Gardner, the conference Player of the Year, and Chittenden to end the side.In another key situation Herget showed his grit as he faced a first and third situation with two outs in the eighth and cleanup hitter Chittenden at the plate but again, the sophomore retired him on four pitches punching him out for his second strikeout of the inning. USF had an opportunity in the eighth to an insurance run as Teaf and Levi Borders each singled with two outs but were stranded.Louisville got a base hit the start off the ninth but Levi Borders quickly erased Grant Kay as he attempted to steal second base for the first out. Herget then got two straight outs to pick-up his second complete game of the season. Herget allowed just six hits in the contest and didn't allow more than two hits in an inning after the first. He struck out six including two in the sixth and eighth. In two games versus Louisville this season, he's allowed just three runs in 17.1 innings of work while picking up 19 strikeouts and holding them to a .183 batting average against.This was also the first time all season Louisville was held to under two runs and entered the game 30-3 when scoring in the first inning.Offensively, Teaf and Gilcrease each went 2-for-4. Teaf and Luke Borders each picked up a RBI while Gilcrease and Maglich scored a run apiece. In 12 games this season against ranked teams, Teaf has gone 18-for-45 (.400) including going 4-for-8 against Louisville.Josh Rogers suffered the loss for Louisville giving up two runs on five hits and a pair of walks over six innings of work. Kyle McGrath tossed the final two innings for the Cardinals surrendering just two hits. Solak and Corey Ray each had two hits for Louisville.

McMINNVILLE, Ore. – About 10 minutes of lockdown defense and a positive rebounding margin were not enough to help Linfield overcome a poor shooting first half as the Wildcats dropped a 64-57 decision to Concordia in nonconference women's basketball action Tuesday night inside Ted Wilson Gymnasium.
Kaely Maltman and Katelyn Henson combined for 45 points, including all three free throws for the home team, as the Wildcats (3-6) relied on a higher shooting percentage and stronger defense in the second stanza to rally from an 11-point halftime deficit all the way back to within three points.
Concordia, however, shot 40 percent for the game and scored considerably more points on 3-pointers and free throws to register its second win of the season, improving to 2-11. Lexi Campbell and Caitlyn McCutcheon paced the Cavaliers with 14 points apiece, while Briannah Smith added 13 more.
Maltman had the Wildcat offense going early, providing back-to-back buckets as the teams played to a 4-4 tie over the opening four minutes of action. But McCutcheon's old-fashioned 3-point play started off an 11-2 run for the Cavaliers, earning the visitors a 15-6 lead with 11:11 to play.
Poor shooting doomed the Wildcats in the first half as the Cavaliers' advantage swelled to as many as 12 points. Linfield had plenty of scoring opportunities, putting up 33 shot attempts to Concordia's 30 and extending multiple possessions on seven total offensive rebounds, but flat-out could not knock down open looks. The 'Cats shot just 24.2 percent, including 11.1 percent from beyond the arc, and only three players had entered the scoring column by intermission.
Concordia, comparatively, enjoyed a balanced scoring effort – seven scorers by halftime – and a 40 percent conversion rate. The Cavaliers found a sweet spot on the left wing, sinking a trio of 3-pointers, and got some easy buckets off baseline cuts.
A clean game from both teams resulted in just 11 whistled fouls, but that also meant Linfield did not get to the charity stripe until the 5:21 mark of the half, when Maltman made the most of both chances. For the night, the Wildcats shot a season-low three free throws, while the Cavaliers hit 14-of-17 attempts.
Maltman and Henson had 17 of Linfield's 19 points by the break. The only other basket came from Riley Graham (Sr., Scio, Ore.), who finished on the right block off a feed from Maltman.
Concordia hit open jumper after open jumper to start the second period, racing out to a 15-point lead, 40-25, not two minutes into the half. Searching for more defensive intensity, head coach Robin Potera-Haskins went to her bench with frequency, finally settling on a veteran lineup composed of Maltman, Henson, Jessica McMillan, Catie Mets and Taylor Solomon.
Facing a 43-27 deficit, the quintet held the Cavaliers scoreless for 3½ minutes and limited the visitors to just four points over a five-minutes as part of a furious rally that pulled Linfield to within three, 47-44, with 10:09 on the clock.
Two free throws and a transition 3-pointer from Campbell pushed the spread back to eight points, however, before Henson responded with a 3-pointer from the top of the key.
The clubs waged an entertaining back-and-forth battle in the closing minutes, but despite shooting 45 percent from the floor, the home team could not get over the hump and the Cavaliers were a perfect 4-for-4 from the line down the stretch to secure the victory.
Mets finished with back-to-back layups to bring the Wildcats back to within five, but with only 10.3 seconds remaining there was not much Linfield could do influence the final outcome.
Maltman ended the night with a game-high 24 points and nine rebounds. Henson contributed her first double-double of the year with 21 points and a game-high 13 rebounds. Mets (6), Graham (4) and Solomon (2) provided the only other scoring for the Wildcats, who did win the rebounding battle 45-36.
AHEAD: Linfield enjoys a short holiday before returning to Ted Wilson Gymnasium to play host to Blackburn College of Illinois Sunday, Dec. 29 at 4 p.m.

Thank you Francesco we really enjoyed staying in your beautiful apartment and appreciated that you had provided a continental breakfast for us in the fridge.
The apartment is quite a way from the usual tourist attractions but once we had learned how to use the Rome metro all went well.
I was also nice to stay in an area that was not touristy-would recommend to other visitors to Rome.
Excellent accommodations. We were very pleased with the quality of the studio - air conditioning worked perfectly, washing machine was great and the services around the studio made life very easy and comfortable. Francesco was also very helpful and kind.
We strongly recommend this place.
A very beautyfull garden, nice appartment and exellent host - we loved the stay and would so certainly come back next time we go to Rome!
Easy to travel to and from Rome and from the AirPort to.
Thanks so much to Francesco for an exellent stay :-)
10 Stars from us.
Mr. Francesco was very hospitable, caring and thoughtful. He was non-interfering but at the same time ready to help us when we needed some help. The property has a beautiful garden and is clean with all the amenities. We would recommend it to anyone who wants to have a peaceful stay while visiting Rome.
Francesco is very friendly. He cared for everything and was responsive if we had any questions. The flat is comfortable and clean and there is everything what you need.
We stayed at Francesco's beautifully equipped studio for 3 nights and found him very welcoming and helpful whilst still respecting our privacy. The cooking and washing facilities were fantastic, as travellers need to cook for themselves at times. His place was like a little oasis with a very nice garden setting. We got lost finding it but Francesco rescued us graciously and once we mastered the transport it was great to see life at a local level. Tastefully decorated. Grazie Francesco.
Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in Rom. Der Weg vom CIA zum Studio ist mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln sehr mühselig (2 Stunden). Die Sehenswürdigkeiten sind gut zu erreichen.
Der Garten ist toll. Ein Supermarkt ist direkt nebenan.
studio conforme à la description, Francesco discret et prêt à rendre service
quartier correct avec plusieurs magasins nous avions louer un scooter ce qui nous permettait d'être rapidement au centre de Rome, un appartement sans chichi mais avec tout ce qui faut pour passer un moment agréable à Rome
Appartamento ben pulito, tranquillo, Francesco est carino e simpatico, mezzi di trasporto accessibile, cucina ben attrezzata. Però è solo un studio, cioè la stanza è piccola e la cucina si trova nella stessa stanza da letto.

NOAA precipitation forecast cranks out half an inch for much of Minnesota.
There's a light at the end of the weather tunnel, and it's not an oncoming train.
Our unseasonably wet and cool October weather pattern is about to change in 72 hours. We'll have to endure two more gray damp days Thursday and Friday, and then the jet stream will lift north and bring back fall to Minnesota this weekend.
It looks as if our incoming weather system will linger with rain and snow through Friday. The best chance for a slushy 1 to 3 inches will be in North Dakota and northern Minnesota and Wisconsin. Radars are lighting up around the region tonight.
NOAA SREF model ensemble favors accumulating snow north of the metro.
I expect periods of rain for the metro, mixed with and changing to snow at times. Temperatures should stay just warm enough in the lowest 5,000 feet for mostly rain. When snow does occur, air and ground temperatures should prevent much more than an inch of slushy accumulation on grassy areas. Look for highs in the 40s through Friday.
It is interesting to note that some of the moisture from this system is remnant moisture from what once was Typhoon Melor. The storm struck Japan last week, crossed the Pacific and is filtering into Minnesota tonight.
Now for the good news!
The jet will lift north as a ridge of high pressure builds in this weekend. Look for much plenty of sunshine and milder temperatures, we should reach 50 Saturday and push 60 by Sunday afternoon. That's at least 20 degrees warmer than we were on Monday.
CPC 8-14 day temp outlook favors near average temperatures.
It appears the overall weather pattern wil stay more fall like through much of next week. In fact, the forecast models are hinting at a prolonged period of milder, more typical fall weather with highs in the 50s and lows in the lower 40s.
It may not be warm enough for Indian Summer, but it's a start.
Hang in there another 72 hours!

Powell will be at the wheel of a new Corvette Convertible for his pace laps, set for race day on May 29. It's the seventh time a Corvette has been the pace car and the 16th time a Chevrolet has led the pack. Powell is the owner of a 2005 Corvette coupe, according to Chevrolet. "I am very excited and looking forward to driving the Corvette pace car to lead the field at the Indy 500. It is a great American tradition and I am honored to be a part of it," Powell said in a press release.
