My dog licks everything...The carpet, Our clothes, furniture...Just wondering is this is normal or why she is doing so.

Best Answer
My dog had the same behavior and after contacting a behaviorist, we were told that she did it out of boredom. Problem was, we weren't exercising her enough. Once the daily controlled walks began, the licking stopped. Now, the only time she does it is before she is going to get sick (she tends to lick the carpet before doing it). Dogs have funny ways of acting out boredom. Walk and play with your dog daily and the behavior should stop. Even if you can't do it on a daily basis, try it to at least see if it works.

Not sure why some pups do this. we had a poodle that we jokingly said " Had a licking disorder" she licked everything!! As she got older the licking did decrease, but it never completely stopped.

It is normal. It's pawsible that she likes the feel of things touching her tongue.

Jury duty for noncitizens might be the sliced bread of judicial reform, but not if Assembly Bill 1401 becomes law.
With the state Assembly apparently unaware of its serious flaws, the bill by Bob Wieckowski, D-Fremont, sailed through that house on a party-line vote and is headed for quick passage in the state Senate. Lawyers are smiling because adoption of this bill guarantees a series of lawsuits that will put our courts in shambles.
Noncitizen jury duty is one of those panaceas that sounds great at first reading but becomes murkier the longer it is considered.
Who, for instance, will be made eligible for jury service?
The answer couldn't be simpler. In fact, the bill makes only one change in existing law applicable to who can serve.
Currently the law requires that jurors be U.S. citizens. AB 1401 would extend that right to "lawfully resident immigrants." The addition of those three words is all that this bill encompasses. Here's a case where simplicity has created a monster.
The bill's author might have avoided the problem had "lawfully resident immigrants" been defined. But it wasn't. Not one Californian in a million could precisely define that phrase.
The failure to clarify what constitutes "lawfully resident immigrants" will open the door to unlimited controversy, legal disputes by trial lawyers over eligibility of prospective jurors and seemingly endless appeals following verdicts.
Just who are "lawfully resident immigrants?" The answer ought to be found in laws governing immigration to the United States, but the phrase chosen by the bill's author is not found there. The effective wording in the Immigration and Naturalization Act is "lawfully permanent residents" (LPRs).
Overwhelmingly, LPRs are aliens who have applied for immigrant status and been admitted through the normal process. Until they acquire citizenship, they remain aliens, and noncitizens.
Federal law allows citizenship after five years in most cases, but a large though unknown number of LPRs never apply for citizenship. Charlie Chaplin lived in the United States for more than four decades and never became a citizen. As of 2011, according to the Department of Homeland Security, California has 3 million documented noncitizens and 2.6 million undocumented -- unlawful -- aliens. Many of those 3 million have lived here for years, like Chaplin, with no intention of applying for citizenship.
Advocates of noncitizen jurors argue that jury service would aid in the "Ameri-canization" process, would educate these future citizens in the ways of our judicial system. That's contrary to the current requirement that immigrants seeking citizenship become schooled in our way of government before they enter into the duties of citizenship.
Furthermore, this bill would allow those who choose, as Chaplin did, to retain their foreign citizenship and loyalty to the motherland while they serve on juries judging Americans.
It gets worse. DHS states that technically illegal aliens are, by definition, immigrants. They aren't "lawfully resident immigrants" yet, but that may soon change. If Congress adopts the plan for legalizing undocumented aliens, such as those 2.6 million now in California, they would become "lawfully resident immigrants" and, under AB 1401, could be required to sit on juries if summoned. Is that the intent of those supporting AB 1401?
Unless this bill is substantially amended to clarify precisely who a "lawfully resident immigrant" is, it should never leave the state Senate committee room.

Costume Photos
Costume Information
|Cost :
|Over £100 on supplies and fabrics
|Time Taken :
|100+ hours
|Alundra, from The Adventures Of Alundra! One of my all time favourite games that I wanted to pay tribute to.
Photos were provided by youportraits. On my experience with the photographer Nik, I can say he was a very humble, professional and easy going photographer who was quite easy to work with. This was my first shoot like this and I enjoyed it very much. Would definitely recommend him if you're looking to book a photographer at an event.
On the costume itself, I was happy with how most of it turned out. The one thing I have the most gripes about is the chest plate which I didn't factor enough time in to make effectively, meaning it was a bit of a rush job in the last week! This was my first time crafting a sword and armour and whilst the results were passable, it's something I definitely want to improve on for my future costumes. The wig was a pain from start to finish to get up to snuff, but in the end it held up pretty well I think. It could have been a bit thicker with a few more wefts sewn in, especially at the sides, but I'm glad with the overall look I got with it.
Do I want to come back and try this again but better? Most certainly!
Awesome! I loved this game!
Omg I love you so much for doing this!! Can't wait to see it finished, will look out for you!
Yay alundra fav character XD and 1of my planed cosplay food luck with it cant wait to c photos of u as him XD
your doing good! keep it up :D
Thank you all for the kind words so far. :3 I'm really knuckling down this next week or two as MCM fast approaches! One thing I'm struggling with the most is boots. I'll get there though.
Looking forward to seeing this, I loved that game. Are you going to have all the different wands too? XD
I have them as an optional on my to-do-list. I'd really like to do them, but I'll only be able to if time permits it. Got quite a bit to do before next weekend!
brilliantly done, a very well made cosplay
Thank you very much. I think the chest plate needs a redo at some point, but I'm most certainly glad someone thinks it's good! :>
This costume is so good that I only have to look at it and I can hear The Village of Inoa track in my head :D
To-Do List
|Contact lenses!
|Find, or make a pair of high boots.
|Create chest plate armour
|Create sheath for sword

|Purchase wig
|Cut and style wig
|Purchase elven ear attachments
|Create adventurer's trousers
|Smooth sword with sand paper

Progress 79 (Posted 24th May 2013)
The chest plate is attached at the back with thick velcro. It's done at last! Here's how the chest plate is looking over my jacket.
Progress 78 (Posted 24th May 2013)
Straps have been attached to the chest plate via hot glue and some carefully placed screws. I'm seriously going to have to redo this whole thing after MCM, not happy with it at all. ;_;
Progress 76 (Posted 24th May 2013)
Oh god it looks awful. D: The chest plate has been a big rush job this last week. I have to make do with it seeing as Saturday is tomorrow and I've little time left today before I head out to MCM.
Progress 75 (Posted 24th May 2013)
The sword sheath is painted. Just need to cover with pva/water mix to help protect it from the rain!
Progress 74 (Posted 22nd May 2013)
The sword, sheath and chest plate have all been primed. Two whole days I have left to work on everything until MCM! With two days, I still need to sand and paint these as well as make and attach body straps to the chest plate, which I haven't figured out entirely how I'm going to do yet...
Progress 73 (Posted 22nd May 2013)
Adding the cap to the bottom of the sheath using card. This has been hot glued and will be paper mache'd and Gesso'd a few times each before being painted.
Progress 72 (Posted 22nd May 2013)
Applying layers of modelling paste on top of my balsa wood chest plate to help get the curved surface shape.
Progress 71 (Posted 21st May 2013)
Shoe and boot cover. I've a few more details to add as well as hot glue them together.
Progress 68 (Posted 21st May 2013)
Chest plate being sanded down excessively to shape. I'll need to re-Gesso before painting.
Progress 67 (Posted 19th May 2013)
And here's how it's looking from the side. This photo actually was taken a few minutes before it was finished, the back section is a bit shorter than this! The fringe will be puffed up a bit on the day as well, but for now I've kept it flat to make it easy to transport around. That and of course I'll have my stubble shaved off when I'm cosplaying. :p
Progress 66 (Posted 19th May 2013)
The wig is finished. It took long enough, but it's done. Here's how it's looking from behind with the ears on as well.
Progress 65 (Posted 19th May 2013)
I have elven ears! Bought these online from a recommended site along with spirit gum. I've tested them out for a day and they stay on perfectly! I'll need to apply some makeup so they blend better with my skin.
Progress 64 (Posted 18th May 2013)
Here's how the shoes look originally (left) and after I apply my fabric (right).
Progress 61 (Posted 18th May 2013)
marking out my boot cover cutouts using templates I drew up with measurements previously.
Progress 60 (Posted 18th May 2013)
Creating a sheath for my sword. I've taken a large piece of canvas card and wrapping a section around my sword to get an idea of length/size, cut out a tube which I've hot glued, paper mached and now gesso'd. Two more layers of Gesso and it's ready to sand down. Then I need to add a cap on one end and details on the other.
Progress 58 (Posted 15th May 2013)
First arm wrap done! They both use the exact same template, just flipped for each arm.
Progress 56 (Posted 15th May 2013)
Cutting out fabric for my arm wraps from the template I made previously.
Progress 55 (Posted 15th May 2013)
I'm adding a few layers of liquitex modelling paste to the front side of the chest plate. Once each layer sets to a hard sandable surface, I do the next one. After a few layers, I'll sand it down to a nice smooth curve covering the entire front side of the chest plate.
Progress 52 (Posted 15th May 2013)
I've started wrapping the sword handle. To keep the fabric in at the base, I'm hammering in some small nails.
Progress 45 (Posted 12th May 2013)
Chest plate armour and sword have both been Gesso'd up! Time to sand everything down.
Progress 49 (Posted 12th May 2013)
As you can probably tell, that's not my hand with long nails doing the sewing. I'm having some help with these! It's a tricky job!
Progress 48 (Posted 12th May 2013)
The wig, as it currently is, isn't thick enough to hold up the ponytail properly. That and when it's up, it exposes the weft racks underneath in the wig. To remedy this, I'm having more wefts sewn in to the wig to make it thicker.
Progress 47 (Posted 12th May 2013)
After doing my first layer of a dark cast iron paint, I go over it with two layers of a metallic silver paint. I'm using a sponge to apply my paint as I want to avoid the strokes left by brushes and don't want to invest in a airbrush just yet...
Progress 46 (Posted 12th May 2013)
Sword sanded down, I'm now starting to paint. I start by doing a thin layer of dark cast iron on the hilt.
Progress 43 (Posted 5th May 2013)
3 layers of paper mache applied to the chest plate. Now to Gesso in preparation for a lot of sanding.
Progress 40 (Posted 30th April 2013)
Spraying together the two balsa wood pieces with a spray on adhesive.
Progress 39 (Posted 26th April 2013)
Here's how the two layers look together. Note how the edges don't quite match up. There's a lot of sanding and tweaking to be done with these before the next stage!
Progress 38 (Posted 26th April 2013)
I've cut out another layer of balsa wood in the shape of my chest plate, this time cut vertically. I've labelled each of the pieces so as to not get them mixed up and next will have to stick them all together.
Progress 37 (Posted 21st April 2013)
The first part of the chest plate; cutting out a basic outline to work from, is done.
Progress 34 (Posted 21st April 2013)
Making a start on the chest plate armour. I measured out my proportions and then approximated the chest piece dimensions based on artwork of the character.
Progress 33 (Posted 9th March 2013)
The wig being cut down to size. The back needs to be shortened considerably, but with enough left to make the ponytail on top.
Progress 32 (Posted 9th March 2013)
My wig, being kindly modelled by this polystyrene head. I've quite a bit of modifying to do to it.
Progress 31 (Posted 9th March 2013)
Sword is all Gessso'd up, time to paint. I also added a few screws in the the hilt amid concerns about its stability.
Progress 30 (Posted 24th February 2013)
Here's how it's looking from more of a front angle. It's only PVC, but it has a nice texture and look to it in my opinion.
Progress 29 (Posted 24th February 2013)
The bag is now finished (Pending subjection to some stress tests of course)!
Progress 28 (Posted 24th February 2013)
After cutting out a strip of leather as measured, it gets sewn on to the bag straps. This will help keep the bag from sliding down my back when there's some weight in it. It also helps pull the straps in to the centre a bit and sit better on my shoulders.
Progress 27 (Posted 24th February 2013)
Here's the leather piece I'll be using for the last bit of the bag. 'gasp' I'm actually using genuine leather.
Progress 26 (Posted 20th February 2013)
Both bag straps are on. The bag now looks like this! The top bits are too wide apart however, so I'm going to attach an extra piece to the straps to keep them from going too far out on my shoulders.
Progress 25 (Posted 19th February 2013)
The bottom end of the bag straps going on. Realistically I should have done these the other way around as the metal parts give strength, which is needed more on the upper part of the bag.
Progress 24 (Posted 18th February 2013)
Straps for the bag being sewn on. You can tell it was me that did it by how messy it looks.
Progress 23 (Posted 18th February 2013)
The ends of the straps have been sewn shut, they're ready to sew on to the bag!
Progress 22 (Posted 18th February 2013)
The points where the strap was cut in two look a little rough, so I'll need to stitch over them just to keep the insides from spewing out.
Progress 21 (Posted 18th February 2013)
Next I take the large strap, extend it to its full length and cut it in two. Each one is equal in length and will make a shoulder strap, making the satchel more like a traditional rucksack just like Alundra's.
Progress 20 (Posted 18th February 2013)
What's left on the body from having the straps removed is the little bolts on each side. A little clean up on either side to remove any excess fabric from the cutting and they're good to go.
Progress 19 (Posted 18th February 2013)
With the straps off, they can now be modified. On the left you can see how the straps look on the back, the right is how they look from the front when sewn on.
Progress 18 (Posted 18th February 2013)
Once all the stitching around the strap is undone, the only thing holding it in place is the metal bolt in the middle. Instead of leaving a hole on the body of the satchel, I cut around the bolt on the strap itself. This leaves a hole on the strap, but it's much less noticeable than it would be on the body. I can always patch it up later anyway.
Progress 17 (Posted 18th February 2013)
To remove the strap attachments, first I get a small pair of sewing scissors behind the edges and cut away the stitching.
Progress 16 (Posted 18th February 2013)
Apologies for the out of focus photo, did this in a hurry. You can see what you need to though. These side attachments for the single strap need to be removed.
Progress 15 (Posted 18th February 2013)
After frequenting charity shops for a good two weeks, I finally lucked upon a satchel. It's not genuine leather, just has that leather look which is what I was after. Real leather is very hard to work with and I've not the skills or means to sew it. I'm going to do a bit of modding to this satchel.
Progress 14 (Posted 8th February 2013)
The jacket's arms have been cut short and sewn up. This will make the folded sleeves much easier on the arms. Also, the two holes left where I took out the excess fabric out at the back have been sewn up.
Progress 13 (Posted 7th February 2013)
Applying the first layer of Gesso. Each layer needs to be dry before applying the next.
Progress 12 (Posted 7th February 2013)
Applying Gesso to my sword base.
Gesso (pronounced Jeh-So) acts as a primer, making it easier for surfaces to be painted. In this case I'm going to apply 5 layers of Gesso and smooth it down with sandpaper before painting. This should give a nice finish to the sword.
Progress 11 (Posted 6th February 2013)
Belt loops have been sewn on to the trousers. The trousers are now complete!
Progress 10 (Posted 6th February 2013)
Belt loops have been cut out of the excess fabric from the trousers I cut down earlier.
Progress 9 (Posted 3rd February 2013)
Sword base is finally finished, with the components cemented together and 5 layers of paper mache applied. Next task is to apply layers of Gesso, which will help smooth everything over and make it easier to paint.
Progress 8 (Posted 3rd February 2013)
Turtleneck t-shirt has arrived. This is one part of the costume I won't need to modify. It's comfy!
Progress 7 (Posted 3rd February 2013)
The excess strip of fabric that was on the back of the jacket has been removed. I'll now need to stitch up the holes it's left.
Progress 6 (Posted 3rd February 2013)
Jacket arrived.
This royal blue jacket I ordered from Ebay. It has a rippled effect going along the sleeves which I undid using threading needles and scissors. I still have quite a bit to mod before the jacket is ready though. The sleeves need to be cut back, the lapels need to stick out a bit more and the piece that's going across the back needs to be removed. The fabric is super comfy to wear though!
Progress 5 (Posted 1st February 2013)
Trousers have been cut and sized, they now fit just right.
The trousers have been modified. They are now just the right size for my legs, so that they fold during movement but allow for a good range of motion. Comfy! You might notice the straps dangling from the top. Next task on these is to replace those with belt straps.
Progress 4 (Posted 1st February 2013)
Here you can see the marking and stitching where I'm going to cut the trouser leg.
I turned the trouser inside out, marked where I need to alter the with sewing pins and used them as a reference to draw a line down the trouser leg. I then sewed along the line, securing the trouser in place and essentially tightening them to fit my leg's proportions. After trying them on and making sure they fit just right, I cut the excess material left over.
Progress 3 (Posted 1st February 2013)
Base sword parts crafted, time to paper mache.
Alundra's sword is like most other swords and pretty generic looking. Not only that, but inconsistencies in the game's official artwork show the sword drawn slightly differently each time. I'm hoping to strike a balance between these different looks and create something that I feel would look best. I've left parts of the handle overdone on purpose here to give myself excess wood to work with later when I sand it down.
Progress 2 (Posted 1st February 2013)
Marking with needles where the trousers need to be sewn to bring them in at the sides.
For Alundra's trousers, I wanted a material that would look the part for long adventures and thus be sturdy, but at the same time also offer a good range of motion and comfort. I used a pair of trousers from a Tae Kwon-do gi in the end. They're far too big for me at the sides so I've marked out where on the trouser legs I need to bring them in and I'm going to cut and sew them to size.

Bonita High School quarterback Garrett Pendleton is expected to return when the Bearcats open Hacienda League play at Diamond Bar on Oct. 8. Bonita has a bye this week.
The highly touted senior suffered a hairline fracture in his elbow a week before the season started and hasn't played since. He's been practicing with the team since last week, though, and is getting closer to regaining his starting job.
"He needs a couple of weeks of good practice to get the rust off and get into playing shape," Bearcats coach Eric Podley said.
"After being out four weeks, we want to see him get back into top condition, and how long that takes remains to be seen."
Senior Greg Spathias has filled in admirably for Pendleton, and the Bearcats are 4-0 despite playing a tough nonleague schedule. Spathias may still see time, according to Podley, as Pendleton gets worked back into the lineup.
The news isn't so good for standout receiver Casey Horine, who hasn't played since Bonita's win over Claremont on Sept. 10. Horine suffered a knee injury in the third quarter of that game, and the team is awaiting further tests to determine his status for the remainder of the season.
Despite all the bad luck, Bonita has been good enough to go undefeated against a solid group of opponents. For that, Podley is most impressed with his team's mental makeup.
"They've turned us all into believers," Podley said. "I'm really pleased with the job they've done, particularly our seniors, who have led our team and never let an injury get them down and never let one player's absence hold us back. They've overcome adversity and continued to excel at a high level."
Arroyo learns a lot
Arroyo coach Jim Singiser said he's learned way more about his team by watching film in the wake of its 44-3 loss to Hart than he would've had he not scheduled the Newhall-based power.
"I don't need to know our kids can beat up on a junior-high team," Singiser said. "We needed a game like that to find out about ourselves. When you get into a game against Hart, after the first three turnovers, you have to reassess your goals a little bit and find out who the guys are on your team that want to keep competing.
"We found some guys who didn't want to compete. We found some guys that didn't step up, and that's not going to take us where we want to go. So now we have two weeks to open up the competition and find those kind of guys."
Without injured quarterback Steven Rivera, Arroyo was already up against it in taking on an upper-division team such as Hart, but the Knights did themselves no favors with five first-half turnovers. Even still, Singiser liked some of what he saw.
"We almost came up with a blocked punt with a minute and a half to go," Singiser said. "If you're down by that much to Hart and you're still willing to go vertical to block a punt, that's the kind of kids I want to have out there.
"I'm not saying we would've won if we had Steven in there, but if Steven would've been there, we'd have protected the ball better. Hart was a much better team, but it would've been a better game."
Rosemead gets revenge
Rosemead's loss to San Marino in the first round of last year's CIF Mid- Valley Division playoffs, and the manner in which it happened, didn't sit well with coach Matt Koffler and his returning players during the offseason. The Panthers, however, exacted revenge last Friday night in the form of more than 300 yards rushing in a 21-7 victory over the previously unbeaten Titans.
"We wanted to get back to our style of football - physical on both sides of the ball, play good special teams and don't turn the ball over - and I thought we did that," Koffler said. "I know they didn't have their running back, but we held that offense to less than 100 yards and about 30 yards rushing, so that's exciting."
Those numbers were a complete reversal from last year's playoff loss, when the Titans ran over Rosemead en route to a 42-20 victory. Friday's win was as simple as giving the ball to running back Matt Fregoso, who piled up 233 yards and three touchdowns.
"Our offensive line was fun to watch," Koffler said. "They were playing physical up front, and he (Fregoso) had some big holes to run through."
Booth cleared by CIF
Bishop Amat senior tight end Brock Booth has had his eligibility restored by CIF and can rejoin the Lancers on Friday night when they visit Cathedral.
Booth was denied eligibility a week before the season after his former school, South Hills, told CIF it believed his transfer to Amat was athletically motivated. Booth and his family stated their disagreement with the Southern Section office, but the decision was upheld, sending them to the state appeals panel, where they proved victorious in getting his eligibility restored.
"The (Booth) family was thankful they were able to present their case in front of the (state) appeals panel at CIF and that the matters were cleared up," Amat athletic director Michael Manzo said.
"They're (Booth's family) looking forward to enjoying Brock's senior year, and Brock is looking forward to contributing to the football team in any way he can."
Bishop Amat will also get wide receiver Wallace Gonzalez back this week after the senior was ruled ineligible for the first four games following his transfer from Glendora last season.

Simon Cowell has reached out to put an end to all the bickering between X Factor judges Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh.
It was reported this morning that the male stars were bickering between themselves, over who got to be head judge when the ITV show returns later this year.
On hearing that Louis had secured a contract for his ninth series on the talent show, Barlow tweeted:
"I hear there's a lovely lad from Ireland joining me. Congrats Louis! One of these years you'll be head judge."
Insiders said that Walsh was furious with the teasing and that he was equally annoyed at Simon's jibe about him proving himself as an 'astute music manager.'
Cowell has tried to put an end to all the bickering and has told the boys that he is giving the head judge post to Tulisa, since she won with Little Mix last year.
He tweeted:
"I understand Louis & Gary are squabbling as to who is head judge..since @OfficialTulisa won last year, she is the reigning head judge."
Meanwhile, after the difficult time she has had in her personal life recently, Tulisa has hit out at the haters via her Twitter page.
She wrote this afternoon:
Past few months I've had about 8 people create a whole scenario of beef with me in their imagination..i barely knew they existed#awkward…also neva seen or heard so much absolute shit about the ins n outs of my life, misquote's or thoughts from myself..#justsayin..All good tho
Tulisa is currently preparing for her performance on Sunday night's Britain's Got Talent. She will be showcasing her debut solo single 'Young' on the ITV show and tweeted:
'What a week, just in rehearsals 4 BGT! Reunited with my dancers! Weeeheeyy'

Where I stayed
After my last entry Cory and I walked with our packs in the brutal Egyptian sun to the Old Market in Sharm El Sheikh. We made it, probably a pound or two lighter, in about 20 minutes. One of our inside jokes has become, "Taxi Dahab". Many taxi drivers in Sharm asked us if we go to Dahab, which is another resort town up the coast, maybe 150 or 200 km. So just out of curiosity, when we were asked, I asked him how much. He had to think about it for a while, I think he was a bit taken aback that somebody might actually consider going to Dahab in his taxi, but he said 200 EGP. That was pretty cheap I thought considering the distance, and I'm sure we could have gotten him down 50 to 100 EGP if we wanted. In any case our mission was to get something to eat, so we found a place that didn't have too much seafood (Cory is a seafood hater) and had a whole roast chicken, some rice, and some type of hummus-esque dish with pita bread
We then went back to the gate to the old town to find a taxi to the bus station for our trip back to Cairo. We ended up running into our Dahab taxi guy, and had to inform him that, unfortunately, we were going to Cairo. In any case we got the drivers into quite the bidding war for us. We had the first guy from 30 EGP down to 15 EGP, but he was making us mad so we abandoned him for his competitors. They went down to 15 rather quickly, but then we decided we wanted 10 EGP, which was pretty easy to do. They were all mad and insisting we go with this one driver, but we opted for a different one, since they were being a bit too forceful for our tastes. About 20 minutes later, we arrived at the bus station, which was adjacent to the one we had arrived at. It ended up these busses were a bit seedier, but were 10 EGP less (50 EGP) and some were even cheaper than that. We took the 8:00 pm bus, which would get us into Cairo around 2 or 3 in the morning.
The trip back on the bus was much less eventful. We went through all of the police/military checkpoints much more easily, and were never even questioned for our passports by the police/military (compared to the 4 or more times on the way down). We made two stops along the way, one of which Cory and I got out at, it was right along the Suez Canal
We hailed a couple of taxis to try to negotiate a good rate. I think we ended up paying 30 EGP, which was pretty cheap, though for how easy it was we probably could have gotten it cheaper. He took us to the airport, though we had no idea which terminal we were flying out of, and he didn't speak good enough English to figure it out with us. So we opted for Terminal 2. Turns out we needed Terminal 1. No worries though, there is a shuttle bus between the terminals for free.
So we got to Terminal 1, found a bench, and slept for a few hours. It was FREEZING in the airport, so for anyone that may go to the Cairo airport, please bring a jacket! We got up around 8 and messed around for an hour or so until we went through the security, check-in, and passport control. We then got on our Royal Jordanian flight, which only took about an hour, plus or minus
Upon our arrival in Amman we had to exchange some USD for Jordanian Dinar, since there were no ATM's before customs. We needed the money to get our visas, which cost 10 JD. For reference, 1.4 USD = 1 JD. 1 USD = .7 JD approximately. So we then got our bags, went through customs and needed to find a taxi. Since the airport is about 50 km from Amman, it was more expensive than what we were used to paying. We ended up negotiating with a private car (kind of sketchy) for 17 JD, which was much less than the 30 JD he was originally asking. The official (yellow) taxis were quoting us 19.50 and didn't seem willing to compromise. The thing about this guy we ended up with is he was making us like run from the police so he didn't get in trouble, and he was in a MAJOR hurry to get out of the airport. Thus far our experiences leaving the airport have left us a bit sketched out, but we obviously have survived (knock on wood).
So we arrived in Amman about 30 minutes later. The city has a bit less than 2 million people, and it isn't much of a looker, to say the least. We got to our hostel, which is pretty nice (we are paying like 8 JD per night per person, including breakfast)
We went way the wrong way to the Citadel and walked up the longest/steepest hill ever, it was like San Fran times 10! We finally found our way (it took us about 30 minutes instead of the 10 the hostel said it should take). The problem was, we couldn't find our way in. Eventually we found an old shopkeeper who directed us up some stairs between houses (I was very surprised he spoke English). As things turned out, we went in the unofficial way, and therefore avoided the Tourist Police Checkpoint and ticket takers, so it was free for us! The ruins were pretty neat, and included houses, a mosque, an old church, and other things. It all dated back to between the 1st and 8th centuries AD. I have quite a few pictures. We also got some good pictures of the Ampitheatre from up there. We spent about 45 minutes up there before heading down to the Ampitheatre, which was ok. We opted to not pay the 1 JD to get in, as it seemed all we would get would be more exercise climbing up the stairs there. We still got some good pictures, in addition to the ones from the Citadel way up on the hillside.
After the ampitheatre we headed home, which was only about a 15 minute walk, but also included some steep hills
Once we made it back, we had missed the hot water period (hot showers are available from 7 - 9 in the morning and evening only), so we will not shower until tomorrow morning. So we watched "Showtime" with Robert Deniro and Eddy Murphy. It wasn't too bad. Cory has been asleep for a while, about halfway through the movie, then I came down here to do email and blog.
Tomorrow our plan is to go to the Red Sea
Final Recap on Egypt
Food - 80%. Most of the food was actually decent, if you could figure out was it was. The shawermas were always a good bet, and anything that you could see being made, so that you could just point. It was almost always cheap. My only real big complaint was that it was very bland, and it often required hot sauce and pepper. Try the khousouri (sp?).
People - 88%. The people were almost without exception very kind. Many of them were of course trying to make money off of you, but did it in a very kind (though also VERY persistent) way.
Culture - 95%. The culture is so old, and the Ancient Egyptian stuff is all very cool. Some things were pretty crazy though, like the really terrible jobs the women have, the women only coaches on the subway, and the segregated coffee shops. Still, all in all it was pretty awesome.
Expense - 98%. It may be the cheapest place I have ever been. I mean Cory and I would walk with our heavy packs for a mile or more just to save 10 EGP (less than $2), but it was ridiculous how cheap things were.
Language Barrier - 35%. It was pretty tough getting along in English, not as bad as my trip to Hungary, but I would definitely brush up on some Arabic. You might also get your hotel or hostel to write things in Arabic for you to show your cab drivers where you need to go. I have picked up a couple of words, phrases, and the numbers.
Fun Factor - 80%. We didn't really sample any of the nightlife or anything, but it was fun to see the antiquities, and Sham El Sheikh would be a ton of fun if we had more money and more time.
Overall - 85%. I really enjoyed Egypt, but that being said, I don't think I would go back for quite a long time. I don't know what would really draw me back, perhaps the resorts at Sharm (I hear they are building a Bellagio), or to see some of the more ancient Egyptian stuff in Luxor or Aswan.

Alek Wek: Exclusive Q&A With South Sudan's Supermodel Refugee
In 1991, caught between the chaos and crossfire of rebel and government forces in Sudan's long-running civil war, 14-year-old Alek Wek's family fled their home city of Wau in South Sudan. The family's father, Athian Wek, contracted a hip infection during the long march toward safety and died before his wife and nine children reached sanctuary in England.
Although they could have killed us, they chose to help, and I've always been grateful to them.
Unlike the vast majority of the world's refugees, Alek captivated the eye of a Model 1 scout in London in 1995. The 18-year-old appeared in Tina Turner's "Golden Eye" video that same year, signed to Ford Models in 1996, and had become MTV's Model of the Year and i-D's Model of the Decade by 1997.
Wek's profile as an international glamour icon has steadily risen in the intervening years, as has her drive to raise awareness, funds and commitments to action for the benefit of global refugees through UNHCR (United Nations High Commission for Refugees).
Alek took time out from her globe-spanning schedule to talk to TakePart about culture shock, the kindness of rebel killers, and how to honor the lives needlessly lost in South Sudan.
TakePart: What were the most challenging issues you had to overcome after leaving Sudan?
Alek Wek: First, I did not speak the language. So it was a real learning curve for me, not just adapting to a major cultural shift but also just learning the very basics of English, and building on that knowledge every single day. Second, living in London was nothing like my life in South Sudan. It really was like starting all over. It was a much bigger city and many more people, most of whom were strangers. And finally, I had to do this without my parents. My dad passed away due to a condition that if properly treated and with adequate medical resources, he would probably be with us today. My mom had to stay behind in South Sudan. I did not see her for another two years after I'd arrived in London. Keep in mind that I was just entering my teens, an important time for a mother and her daughter.
TakePart: Who are the people who helped you?
Alek Wek: You've heard the phrase, "It takes a village to raise a child"? Well, it took a number of communities, including extended members of our families, to help us get to safety. First, we left our home in Wau on foot, with even our youngest sibling, Deng, who was four at the time, helping carry a little bundle. The main road out of town was jampacked with families, all soon to be refugees, headed into the bush. We even had rebels help at one point in our journey. They carried my father and sister across muddy parts of the river where it was nearly impossible to walk.
Although they could have killed us, they chose to help, and I've always been grateful to them.
TakePart: What can you say to young people who struggle with feelings of being outsiders or who lack security?
Alek Wek: I know it's tough, and you may want to even give up. I had times when I felt that way. But as much as there are people who make you feel less-than or unloved, there are many more people who will lend an open hand. Do not allow people who do not want to see you happy stop your forward progress. That's how I began to think about it. I can't imagine what my life would have been like, in the midst of so much violence and bloodshed, if my family and I had not taken the opportunity to leave our country.
TakePart: What are your hopes for South Sudan?
Alek Wek: My hopes for South Sudan are for the people to have a real chance to rebuild their lives and develop businesses that will support the country and help the economy thrive. So many people lost loved ones in the war that building the best South Sudan possible will honor those who so needlessly lost their lives.
TakePart: What can people around the world do to help South Sudan?
Alek Wek: There is so much work to be done, and South Sudan could use all the help possible. Working with organizations such as UNHCR (United Nations High Commission for Refugees) is an important first step. For instance, UNHCR is providing life-saving emergency shelter and assistance to refugees fleeing into South Sudan from Sudan. Can you imagine risking your life just to get to safety and not having any resources to help you? It is because of UNHCR that those who've fled don't have to be alone in this journey.
TakePart: Tell us about working with UNHCR, why is this important to you?
Alek Wek: With the hundreds of thousands of returning South Sudanese, UNHCR is building homes, schools, developing programs for youth, helping with agriculture and livelihood programs and much more. If people give to UNHCR at www.unrefugees.org, they'll be supporting these life-changing programs.
That's why it is such an honor to return to my homeland, in partnership with UNHCR, this summer around the first anniversary of South Sudan's independence. I want to be involved, and this is a wonderful way among many to give back to the people of South Sudan.
Is there a place in your past that you'd like to go back and help? Tell us about it in COMMENTS.

Is there a rule of Thumb Here?
I have a Dayton 3LU83G, .5-hp direct-drive blower motor that will be connected to a wood furnace blower housing. It is rated at 6.3A-125VAC no load 1075-rpm with 4-speeds. The manufacturer says the rpm's are: low at @625, med low at @775, med hi at @925, and hi at 1075-rpm's.
I would like to install a switch to control speeds and found a Grayhill rotary model #19101-7UL rated at 15A; would it be sufficient to operate this motor? The first one I found is only rated at 6A maximum, and I think it is too small, especially at start up.
Unloaded the motor draws more than 6 amps. Obviously, the 6 amp switch won't cut it!
the switch has to be HP rated. It will state right on the switch the HP rating it is designed to handle.
I see your point. The switch that I got was too small. After looking around at various switches on the web, I found one at a manufacturer site, only to learn that they don't sell to individuals. After talking to a reseller, the price jumped from $30 to $48 for one rotary switch.
I've gone back to my original plan. Four toggle switches, one for each speed. Makes more sense, they were certainly less expensive, and they are motor rated. Thanks for the input
Try a small rotary switch and four relays. That way no one can ruin the motor and the switch will be easier to find. The rotary switch should be break-before-make.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=rotary+switch+4+position&aq=4&oq=%2 2rotary+switch%22
You'll also need a 24vac xformer that can deliver enough current to drive one relay coil at a time.
xformer, pn 56-915, $1.95
relay, pn 45-640, $1.75 ea. You'll need four.
In general, pick your rotary switch first.
Then find a relay with contacts that can handle the motor load.
Then the relay coil should pull current small enough that the rotary switch can handle. The relay coil can be AC or DC, with any of a number of voltages.
Then pick a wall xformer that can drive the relay coil. Hosfelt calls them "adaptors".
Iterate this process until you find the minimum cost.
Since you're not going to change motor speeds very often I don't think contact arcing is going to be a problem.
Be careful with toggles, if more than one is on at a time, it'll burn the motor up in just a few minutes.
If you're using this motor for a fan, and the fan loads it to its rated HP at full speed, then the lower speeds will work. If the motor isn't loaded much, the lower speeds will be about the same as the highest speed.
1 Attachment(s)
In this configuration, the higher speed overrides any lower speed.
EDIT TO ADD: A Single pole switch would be sufficient on the last switch.
My logic may not be right on this but, is it possible just to wire the high speed to a fan speed control switch?

Ernest Borgnine, a truly gentle-man.
His trademark stocky build, gruff voice and leering grin led him to be frequently cast as the villain.
Borgnine was presented with his Oscar by Grace Kelly in 1955
But he escaped the stereotype in 1955, landing an Oscar-winning lead role as a romantic New York butcher in the low-budget film Marty.
He went on to play character-acting roles in more than 60 films, including The Vikings, The Flight of the Phoenix (1965), The Dirty Dozen (1967), Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch (1969) and "The Poseidon Adventure" (1972).
A good innings, during which he entertained so many, so well.

PS KF... have you no sensitivity? Note the title of the thread. Hmmm? Please?
What tribute do you have to pay to Ernie Borgnine? Have you seen any of his films, perhaps?
If you're really curious and desperate to know the secret behind Inchy's 'big one' and how point-scoring can bring you happiness, why not PM him?

Very sad about Mr Bourbon. Did he own the biscuit factory or was he disinherited that time when he was caught buying the Jammie Dodgers from his corner shop.

Sherry, very nice row for Mary!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Sherry, very nice row for Mary!
Oh, Sherry! How lovely! Thank you so much for all your hard work. I just can't wait to get these back.
On another note. It took me 10 minutes to get this to load. For some reason I kept getting booted back out to the main page.
Yvonne, thanks for letting me know it was here. I some how missed it.
Mary, I tried to load more pictures of your row the other day. I tried 5 times and I never was successful. I am glad you like it. I will try to mail them tomorrow.
Seems like everyone I talk to is having trouble with their computers....interesting....mine is now functioning again and....tah, tah!!!!....the printer is working, too!!! YEAH! Lots and lots of rain here now
Mary, your top is on it's way back to it's mama. Let me know when it arrives. Sherry
Today was a busy day at the mailbox. Kind of a Christmas in July. I received my rows back and Yvonne's gifts. THANK YOU to each of you. Your work is amazing. The group at my quilt shop was asking about them today. Can't wait to show them off on Monday.
Yes! Pictures! Pictures! I'm still working on Yvonnes' row. I'll let you know when I'm ready to mail.
How is everyone?? I just got back from Camp Watch-a-Patcher. Great fun and exhausting. Took 2 classes with Kathy Brown of Teachers Pet. Fun Fun Fun!! Will show you some pics soon. Also took a class with Karen Cunagin.
Sherry - your row for Mary looks great. Hey! I recognize some of that fabric! LOL
Too structured for me. Besides, I don't do applique. Would rather go with Sherrys' original/modified guidelines. Also, I'm starting with a rectangular center, not square.
Sherry - I'll need to read through the posts but do we have 'official' rules/guidelines??
Jane's 1930's blocks---
It's hard to get every block in the picture-this is the best I could do.
Hope you like them, Jane! Are you ready for them to be mailed?
Jane, I will post official rules when we get the groups set up after Mon. Our group will be together plus one more.
Barbara, Jane's blocks look great.

Animal Planet has given a six-episode order to Alaska Gold Diggers, a fish-out-of-water reality series about five Orange County women transplanted to Alaska, to premiere on October 10. Produced by T Group Productions in association with Henry Island Prods, the series centers on Newport Beach resident SaraJane "SJ" Bartholomae, who inherits two gold mines from her self-made oil and gold tycoon father, William "Popper" Bartholomae, who was brutally murdered when she was a child. With gold prices at an all-time high, SJ and her four grown daughters decide to revitalize the family mines in Nome and Fairbanks, which have remained abandoned since Popper's death. With their pooled savings, they race against time, hiring local mining crews to try and get the mines up and running with only six weeks before the start of the Alaskan winter. "It's more than just a fish-out-of-water story — these women have grit and gumption, and will stop at nothing until they realize their father and grandfather's dream of striking it rich in one of the harshest terrains on the planet," said T Group president Jenny Daly, who executive produces the series with Henry Island's Brian Neal and Debbie Shepard.
Animal Planet Orders 'Alaska Gold Diggers'
23 Comments
Is there actually a "fish out of water" or did I miss how animals play into this show?
This show sounds awesome! Can't wait to watch and I'm sure we'll get to see some animals.
WTF does this have to do with animals?
Gold digger from Newport Beach how surprising.
I think it is pretty obvious that it follows the challenges of trying to mine in the remote Alaskan terrain (the "planet" in Animal Planet) and the dangers from wild animals such as bear and moose as they work on the land. I bet Nome is beautiful and I can't wait to watch. Nice work Animal Planet!
My brother dredges for gold in Nome and believe me, the planet has a great deal to do with this topic. He fights against the climate all the way. Weather warm enough to work only lasts a few months and if it rains during that time no one can go out onto the ocean to work.
No, not you too, Animal Planet! Bad enough that networks like TLC (formerly The Learning Channel), Discovery channels, and even the History Channel have gone reality crazy. But a show about five women transplanted to Alaska to reopen a gold mine truly stretches the credibility of this network. The only thing remotely related to animals is the "fish-out-of-water" analogy.
So it seems the network has given up even the vague pretense of being in any way about animals, eh? Probably for the best.
This show has nothing to do with Animals. Animal Planet has lost its way like so many other channels have done. Animal Planet is moving away from animals. History Channel is moving away from history and TV Land is moving away from classic sitcoms. All of those channels are trash now.
These ladies were the nicest bunch of people I have ever met! Can't wait to watch the show!
Boring, another one of the lame reality shows. How can Animal Planet stoop to such a low level. That's what the other channels are for.
What an interesting storyline. The animal connection begins with the wildness of the scene and those bear tracks. Can you imagine what it is like to be 100 miles from Nowhere in the Alaskan wilderness in the backyard of an Alaska Grizzly Bear family? These are pioneer women who make me proud to be an American. I hope they make it. And find some gold in the process. Good for you, Animal Planet. Another winner!
The USA needs more people like these women who dont know how to mine gold or deal with bears but they are out there working trying to find gold mot sitting on a couch wishing my hats off to them GO GET IT GIRLS.
I'm sorry but this Alaska Gold Diggers copycat show is so unrealistic as to be a waste of my time and I will not be watching it. Women or men so out of their element as this show presents have no business doing it. It strains belief that these women would invest their own money [ or as much as it would take to do it right] and throw it away doing this for real on their own. Therefore it's not a real venture and it insults the intelligence of women for these to be so far out of their element. If you think you can make money showing women gold prospectors then go get some real ones and bankroll them. The lady [Melody] that runs a loader for the Hoffman brothers is at least for real and could represent a real woman prospector/miner honestly. Even the name of the show with "Gold Diggers" in it is a derogatory slur on women. Hopefully viewers will demand more honesty of this show or just turn it off.
People can say what they want… I appreciate what these ladies are doing..!! I spoke with Tori and she is a very down to earth woman… :)
What I don't understand is, why did they start this search for gold at the start of winter? Also why didn't they do their homework with all the Tv shows on gold and what it takes to TRY and get some out of the ground. Why did they go up to Alaska with the wrong type of clothing etc. No idea of tools or what what might be needed to keep going every day? Many things can be brought up about what they did or didn't do. But the biggest thing is this Trust issue. God what a nest of full time trouble, now, and to come. However the women are getting smater with each day they are putting their backs into it. Who picked this crew? The men are seasoned, and make no mistake someone will TRY and take advantage of these women even in a small way. The women are pulling their weight now after the words flew back and forth about them not working hard and geting their hands dirty. They will keep on if they don't get steped-on or worn out because of weather and reality. I'll keep watching because I support these women and what they are tryiing to do.
This show is really riveting drama! Southern California women kinda interested on gold mining in Alaska, but what's more important is looking pretty in front of the camera. Hard work comes to a grinding halt when the girls run out of lipstick, eye shadow, and mascera, so they travel 200 miles into town for "supplies" and a perm or manicure or two. This show is an obvious fraud show where the only riches the girls seek is another TV contract! Reality TV at its absolute worst! A total insult to real, hard-working women everywhere.
After watching this there is no doubt that it is another fake "reality" show. Too many reasons to list here. Very disappointed but not surprised
P.S. They are not pulling their own weight………FAKE B.S.
I love the idea and being a dreamer of finding gold myself. The operation of finding and making money from gold mining is exciting. If they need the help I am here to catch the GOLD FEVER. Mike from Manhattan Beach.
Great show of how American female ingenuity is still available ,even in the harshest weather conditions like Alaska. I love to see Clutch the gold-digger at work on his claim ,showing true Alaskan hospitality by helping these "ladies of culture" to transform themselves into the old American way of guts and glory. His smile and courage is contagious. Way to go Alaska, the most beautiful State in the Union.
This show is actually really good. For those that haven't seen it, I'm not sure why your judging. Yes, it's on an animal planet network-which is a little strange but the actual show is interesting and I was bummed when I realized it's not even on anymore and there's no way for me to see how it ended! Anyone know how it ended?!?

Designer Scot Eckley is practical when it comes to having a kitchen garden. "People have these big ambitions to do giant kitchen gardens," he says, "but the reality is that they don't always have time to maintain them." His solution was to build four square raised beds out of bluestone, each bed measuring 4 feet by 4 feet. This way, he says, "Even in the dead of winter, if nothing is planted out there, we still have the frame of the beautiful bluestone."
