This Christmas
Rating & Content Info
Why is This Christmas rated PG-13? This Christmas is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for comic sexual content and some violence.
Family feuds, including some spousal abuse and physical brawls, make up much of the script as the Whitfield family comes together for the holidays. As well, the siblings drink frequently (one also repeatedly smokes) during their stay and participate in unwedded sexual activities, sometimes with people they barely know. In a bar setting, a man is hit over the head with a bottle before a fight breaks out. Later a character pulls a gun on two men. Discussions center on sexual topics and contain frequent profanities.

How important was that Chiefs win over the Crusaders? "Massive'', says playmaker Aaron Cruden, who has suggested it will give the younger members of his team a new belief in their abilities.
That has ominous connotations for the opposition, because Bundee Aki and Co were very good during the 28-19 victory at Waikato Stadium, a win which cements their place at the top of the New Zealand conference.
Second-five Aki, 23, and in his first season at this level, had a hand in several big moments - his desperate tackle thwarted the charging Kieran Read when a try to the Crusaders captain after the break could well have been too much for the Chiefs to overcome. He also scored the late try for his team to hand his side a 25-19 lead. Minutes earlier his obstruction on defender Tom Taylor led to Charlie Ngatai's try being ruled out.
"It's massive for us,'' said Cruden of the win. "It was thrown around that test match intensity was what it was going to be and that's what it was.
It is especially big for this group as there are a lot of fresh faces new to Super Rugby here this year. To get a victory over the Crusaders who have been the benchmark for Super Rugby is fantastic.''
Players such as Aki, centre Ngatai and wing Patrick Osborne all stood up in what was a tense and absorbing battle between the two New Zealand heavyweights.
Cruden wasn't bad either. He probably won the first-five showdown against All Black rival Dan Carter, beginning with his charge-down of Carter's attempted clearance which led to a deserved try.
Cruden's skipper Craig Clarke also got in on the act, charging down a Tom Marshall kick to score in the first half.
The 24-year-old Cruden said it was a tactic the Chiefs often employed - but it wasn't specific to the Crusaders.
"I don't think I've seen two before,'' Cruden said of his and Clarke's tries from charge-downs. ``It is something we work on each week. If we can make first-up tackles in their end we should be able to apply pressure to their kickers and luckily for us it paid off and we were able to come away with the best result possible.''
This was a match in which all doubts about whether the Chiefs can defend their title were surely cast aside. It was their most complete performance of the season and there is no question it was a victory built on the foundations of a tight defence.
The Crusaders could only score with a rolling maul - Matt Todd awarded the try - and their 10-plus minutes of defending their line after halftime were inspirational.
"Early on in that second half they were on our line and exerting a lot of pressure but we were able to absorb that and work our way back down into their half,'' Cruden said. ``I know myself that when you can't cross the line it just seems to nag away at you.''

Leadership doesn't walk the talk
For change to happen, everybody involved must buy-in. Leadership, however, must take the first steps. Change is aborted whenever leadership doesn't demonstrate the same commitment they expect from others.
9. Wrong size
In this instance, the change is too massive to be achievable or too small to be significant. Like a good goal, a change program should be neither too easy nor too impossible.
10. No follow-through
The best planning is worthless if not implemented, monitored, and carried out. Responsibility must be clearly defined for making sure that follow-through is timely and intense.
We have reviewed the industry standard on configuration change management, which is very close to what BLCM and the focus of this article is all about. We also visited several sources that illustrate, from other business-level perspectives, what change management means to those organizations. The notion BLCM to the manufacturing or IT industries for the control and management of product may be a configuration management activity. To function properly, a designated group (CM group) must be responsible for the execution of the requisite tasks of the change management process. The CM group may consist of one or more persons appointed by the project manager. On smaller projects, some project managers serve as the "Configuration Manager" and perform all CM-related activities.
However, as we have discovered through modest research, executive officers and senior managers of those organizations typically carry out BLCM for the purpose of implementing organizational changes. They are the primary stakeholders and the change agents that drive the most strategic aspects of change.

From the WABI-TV5 & CW Forecast Center:
A storm currently moving through the Upper Midwest will slide northeast through Ontario and into Quebec later tomorrow afternoon and night. As the storm passes to our north its trailing cold front will swing through New England Friday night and produce a round of scattered rain and snow showers here. From the Bangor region on southward the bulk if not all of the light precipitation tomorrow night will fall in the form of rain showers, while from the Greenville and Millinocket regions on north most of the precipitation will fall as snow. Northern parts of Maine might pick up a coating to 2" of snow by Saturday morning.
A brisk northwest breeze will develop behind the cold front Saturday and colder air will begin to push back into the Pine Tree State. Temps Saturday morning will likely hold in the 30s but then begin to fall back into the 20s later in the afternoon as the colder air continues to spill into our region. An arctic front will cross the Northeast later Saturday night and Sunday morning. The front along with a disturbance aloft may kick off a round of scattered snow showers and snow squalls here as they cross the region and then the coldest air of the fall season so far will invade New England Sunday and Monday on a brisk northwest breeze.
A storm moving east along the Gulf Coast later Monday and Tuesday may turn the corner and move up the Eastern Seaboard and bring our region some snow and rain Wednesday, or the storm could pass far enough to our east to have little impact on the weather here. More arctic air will spill into the Northeast for Thanksgiving and Friday.
Tonight: Becoming partly to mostly cloudy, with low temps in the upper teens and 20s.
Friday: Partly to mostly cloudy, with high temps in the upper 30s to mid 40s.
Friday night: A period of rain and snow showers, with low temps in the mid 20s to low 30s.
Saturday: Partly cloudy, breezy and turning cooler, with high temps in the 30s to near 40 early then slowly falling afternoon temps.
Sunday: Variably cloudy, scattered snow showers, blustery and cold, with high temps in the 20s to near 30.
Monday: Partly sunny, breezy and cold, with high temps in the 20s to low 30s.
Tuesday: Partly cloudy, scattered snow showers possible, with high temps in the 30s.

Your LED will always be lit, those power connections always have power when a battery is connected or when external (USB) power is supplied. Unless I missed it, there is still no way to see if the camera is recording because the front LED does not come out to the back of the camera (or we haven't found it yet).
One thing you can do is get a small LCD and use the live video with overlay, pretty sure this tells you if you are recording or not.
Also the switch you need is called normally open, also often shown as off-(on) on the electric component sites. The (on) means it is momentary as opposed to just plain on which means it will remain in that state. For rocker switches you can often go with an on-(on) or off-(on) or sometimes shown as on-none-(on) and just find the two terminals that get connected for the momentary contact.
I think you need to pull another pin low to make the audio input work, but I haven't looked at the information presented earlier long enough to tell you with any certainty.
All this stuff is on my list when I get time to make some cables and do some testing.

Pfizer said it acted responsibly in sharing COX-2 data
In a statement this week, Pfizer refuted earlier claims by Public Citizen that safety data from the 1999 Celebrex study in Alzheimer's patients were "undisclosed."
Pfizer said that particular study was monitored by an independent panel of safety experts, with an abstract of the results presented at a scientific congress in 2000, and the completed study report was submitted to the FDA in June 2001.
"Pfizer acted responsibly in sharing this information in a timely manner with the FDA," said Joseph Feczko, Pfizer president of worldwide development.
"Public Citizen's cherry-picking of data is alarmist and misconceived," he said. "It is not possible to draw clinically meaningful cardiovascular conclusions from this study alone given the variations in patients' medical history, their advanced age and other significant study limitations. This flawed use of data is misleading and unfair to a reasoned scientific discussion of these issues."
Sidney Wolfe, director at the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, said earlier this week that the trial's findings added further reason for the Celebrex to be pulled from the market and on Monday renewed its call for the FDA to immediately ban Celebrex and Pfizer's other controversial painkiller, Bextra.
On Feb.16, an FDA advisory committee will begin its evaluation of the risks and benefits of all COX-2 medicines, including Celebrex and Bextra.
Pfizer said it has provided the agency with an extensive analysis of all available safety data for its COX-2 drugs and continues to cooperate fully with worldwide regulatory authorities.
"The FDA advisory meeting is the appropriate forum for these important public health issues to be fully addressed and put into context," Feczko said.

U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 14, 2013 5:40 PM
BATON ROUGE (AP) — U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu said Wednesday that the resistance of Republican state leaders to the Affordable Care Act was "hurting people" by making it more difficult to carry out the insurance changes required by the federal health care law.
"Part of the problem is that the state — despite the fact that it's the law, despite the fact that the Supreme Court upheld it — is dragging its feet, and it's only hurting the citizens. It's just hurting people," Landrieu said after giving a speech to the local Rotary Club.
Landrieu continued her defense of the federal law, supporting a signature policy of President Barack Obama that Republicans believe can help them defeat the Democratic senator in the 2014 election. The National Republican Senatorial Committee launched a new TV ad Wednesday attacking Landrieu for backing the law, among other policies of the president.
Landrieu said Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration should have taken the lead in creating the mandated health insurance marketplace for people who don't qualify for Medicaid to shop for coverage, rather than letting the federal government establish and run it.
But the senator also acknowledged that federal officials are having difficulty getting the online insurance marketplaces, called exchanges, set up by the Oct. 1 deadline.
"Of course the federal government's struggling. It would have been a lot easier and better for everybody had the state set up the exchange, but they punted. They didn't want to, so now the federal government's scrambling to set it up," she said.
Jindal, a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2016, opposed the Affordable Care Act and wants the law repealed, calling it too costly, unworkable and an improper expansion of government.
In addition to rejecting a state-run exchange, Jindal has refused to expand the state's Medicaid program as allowed under the law, though the federal government would fully cover the initial costs of providing coverage to as many as 400,000 uninsured people in Louisiana.
The nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Office estimates the Medicaid expansion could save Louisiana as much as $510 million over 10 years, with the state receiving up to $15 billion in federal funding. The Jindal administration disputes the numbers, saying the expansion could cost the state up to $1.7 billion over a decade.
Landrieu, expected to face a tough re-election battle next year, said the federal health care overhaul will offer people a better insurance system, though she said the benefits may be "slower-going" to show up in Louisiana.
Her defense of the federal law came in questions asked by reporters. She didn't mention the Affordable Care Act during her speech to the Rotary Club of Baton Rouge, instead focusing on coastal protection efforts, flood insurance rates and community planning.
In her third term, Landrieu is considered vulnerable because she is a Democrat in a state that tends to vote Republican in national elections.
Two Republicans are running against her for the Senate seat so far: U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, a doctor from Baton Rouge, and Rob Maness, a retired Air Force colonel and tea party supporter from Madisonville.

It's time for her to go. If she likes it so much why are they exempt from it?
Posted By: Dorothy Conner On: 8/14/2013
Title: Obama care
It's a sad day when Congress forces Obamacare on us; but yet they are exempt. And when you get older, they hold back medical care, it goes on and on. I just wonder how they don't feel bad about passing such a bill that limits our care,insures non Americans. yet they don't have to abide by the same guidelines they forced on us....it's a sad day for Americans.

Although trenchless technology—the science of installing, repairing, or replacing buried pipes with little or no excavation—can be more cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and safer than traditional exhume-and-replace construction, it's still not universally embraced.
But that is changing. According to an exclusive survey of PUBLIC WORKS readers, 53% of respondents went trenchless in the past year on projects ranging from $100,000 to $500,000. Of the respondents:
- 47% used trenchless technology for sanitary or combined sewer rehabilitation
- 39% for new sanitary-sewer construction
- 35% for sanitary or combined-sewer repair
- 35% to construct new water mains
- 26% for manhole rehabilitation
- 23% for other applications such as gas and electric installations
- 12% for rehabilitating water mains
- 9% for repairing water mains.
"We do a lot of jacking concrete pipe and tunnel work," says Steve Lilo, operator foreman with Mount Prospect, Ill.-based L.J. Keefe Co. The company uses pipe-jacking techniques to install sewer and water under interstates, toll-ways, and near airports where air traffic cannot be disrupted.
Proponents such as Lilo prefer trenchless technology because it's a non-invasive way of traversing environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands. It's also less noisy and less disruptive to traffic patterns.
The no-dig aspect of trenchless methods also minimizes the chances of death and injury due to trench caveins, decreasing insurance costs and litigation and—more importantly—saving lives.
According to the TTC Technical Report No. 2001.02 (www.latech.edu/tech/engr/ttc/publications/index.htm), prepared by the Trenchless Technology Center (TTC) for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers'Engineering Research and Development Center, trenchless techniques are most cost-effective when:
- There are few lateral connections reconnected within the replacement section
- The old pipe is structurally deteriorated
- Extra capacity is needed
- Restoration and environmental mitigation requirements are extensive.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Municipal Technology Branch's "Collection Systems O&M Fact Sheet" presents trenchless technique costs in 1998 dollars.
Project costs are influenced by pipe diameter, length of pipe to be rehabilitated, specific defects to be corrected, pipe depth and grade change, locations of access manholes, number of access points that need to be excavated, location of other utilities, provisions for bypass of existing flows, number of laterals in the section to be rehabilitated, and the number of directional changes at access manholes.

Where I stayed
Aussies: They wear bright clothing of places they have recently been (e.g. a pink shirt from their tubing expedition in Vang Vieng), have dyed blonde hair, and a sporting the sunglasses made famous by this guy (Ken, let me know what color you want as we will need to fit in when we are in Australia).
French: Usually the nicest dressed. They are also the loudest and will push to get the best seat on the bus/boat/plane/train. They win the award for being the most disliked by all other nationalities.
Brits: Usually keep to themselves, but are friendly if you intiate conversation.
American: Not sure, haven't seen any yet since they don't like to leave their hometowns (of course that does not include our loyal readers of this blog).
Canadians: By far the friendliest. Go oot of their way to point you in the right direction, start conversation, give recommendations.
Germans: A hybrid of all of the above. They also have a similar body type to me, which is unusual in this part of the world.
And now back to the blog. The drive to Hoi An was fairly short at 4 hours. During the drive I had my second "I can't believe we are doing this" moment of the trip as I was looking out the window at the scenery. I also predict that Danang will be the next must go to city in Vietnam. They are building 5 star hotel after 5 star hotel along a strip of beach in Danang (on the other side of the road is all golf courses). Fairly unusual after seeing poverty for the previous two hours.
Once in Hoi An, we checked into our hotel, the Sunflower Hotel, to drop off on bags. The Sunflower hotel got pretty good reviews but is about a 15-20 minute walk to the main action in town. It seemed good enough for our brief stay so we headed out to dinner. Based on the recommendation of the Canadians in Hue, we ate at Bale Well.
Since the Canadian's recommendation for dinner was so good, we used their next recommendation to check out the custom shoe store around the corner. In case you are unaware, Hoi An is the tailored (custom-made) clothing capital of the world.
All excited, we decided to head to the next store on the recommendation list. This was a store that specialized in suits and shirts. I have enough suits and don't think I need a custom suit since a 42R fits me like a glove, but I wanted to see if I could get a few dress shirts made.
The next morning started off a little rocky during our free breakfast buffet (not because the food was bad). It was our last full day in Hoi An and we needed to make plans for the next day.
Amy here (to describe why it was my perfect day): Now that we made the decision to fly to Saigon, we wanted to venture back to the tailors to pick up our custom shoes. However, we also made the decision to not extend our stay in Hoi An (since we were flying we were contemplating sticking around for a few more days), so getting a shirt made was officially out at this point since we didnt have enough time to get it made (and our Vietnam budget disappeared with the flight). Instead, we went on a walking trour of the town visiting the market, the penninsula, the Japanese covered bridge, ancient houses and some assembly halls.
We had spotted a street pho place across the street (time to get adventurous). The pho was good, but a bit different than I am used to (sweeter than most and had peanuts added in). After pho we walked towards the downtown area but on the way stopped at a clean looking salon and I enjoyed a lovely pedicure for peanuts. I had been weary of any beauty treatments here because most I see are happening on the street corner in unsanitary conditions. This spa advertised sterilizing equipment and I watched them use it so I was satisfied. Dave considered a massage but we have to stick close to the budget these next few days to make up for our flight. Afterwards, we continued back to town stopping at several cafes for bia hoi (fresh beer).
Our first stop was the Banana Split Cafe, recommended by Lonely Planet but we enjoyed the street-watching as it sits on the corner by the market.
The sun was starting to set so we decided to enjoy some dinner along the waterfront in town before heading back to the hostel. We had borrowed a Lonely Planet from another traveler to look for recommendations as I wasn't carrying mine with me. We found the Phone Cafe and since we were right around the corner we headed over. We were the first customers of the night and enjoyed traditional Hoi An dishes: White Roses, a dumpling, and Cao Lau, a noodle and pork dish that's unique to the area.
Between the pool time, spa time, shopping and custom shoes time, and the fantastic meal to cap it off, I declared today my perfect day.

There are no customer reviews yet. Be the first to write a review!
Python fans will need to clear a large space on their bookshelf or coffee table for The Pythons--a big, vital autobiography of the comedy troupe. This is an oral history by the six members (Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin) from birth to--in the case of Chapman--death. We get reminisces about childhood, university days, early successes, and rich details about the landmark Flying Circus TV series and subsequent films. The voices are fresh (with expectation of Michael Palin's insightful diary entries), not just complied from earlier publications. "Due to his insistence of being inconveniently dead," Chapham's voice is heard through his longtime partner David Sherlock, his brother and sister-in-law (and some archival materials). As a whole, the six impart a refreshing ability to deal honestly with the frustrations that arose over the years and it comes out in the text even when events are recalled differently. The book is not a light read (figuratively and literally), perhaps a smaller size would have been better for the amount of text; a cursory glance at the coffee table is tough. What does fill the book is an abundance of photos (over 1,000), most never published and many from the troupe's private collections. Along with concept sketches, Gilliam's drawings and doodles, and a few correspondences, this is a keepsake memento of the legendary group. --Doug Thomas

In the short term the big winners here are Three and British Telecom. As Three CEO Kevin Russell said at the start of the Terminate the Rate campaign: "When this happens we will be able to provide flat rate, unlimited calling offers which include numbers on any UK network. This will give consumers real freedom." Russell speculated that Three could provide unlimited cross network minutes for less than £35.
The reality could be radically different, at least in the short term. Whereas Three will save a fortune, Vodafone, O2, T-Mobile and Orange will lose one. Their profitability will drop and they are likely to try and keep pricing the same or - as the Everything Everywhere spokesperson expressed - potentially cut the cheapest pre-pay tariffs. The result being the elimination of anti-competitive behaviour could hurt the poorest members of society.
The upside is Three is unlikely to let that happen. Stripped of much of its MTR burden the network will be able to offer much cheaper tariffs yet still improve profitability. Its rivals can huff and puff all they like, but if they don't want to quickly lose market share they will need to respond with similarly good deals - especially since Three tends to be the cheapest network in the first place (it has to work on much lower profit margins to compete).
Protecting a dying format
So Three is the hard done by little carrier fighting for justice and all its rivals are big bullies? To an extent, but before we all get too sympathetic it is important to remember this: all carriers are evil.
The reason for this is because they all face a bleak future. That of becoming little more than a mobile ISP or 'dumb pipe'. Face it in an age of data we don't really need 'minutes' we need gigabytes and gigabits. Gigabytes of data allowance and gigabits of network speed. Data is like stem cells, it can be shaped to do anything. With it we can make high quality calls, send instant messages, surf the Internet, eliminate the entire concept of MTRs and roaming rates. For years carriers have been fighting this evolution tooth and nail and trying to come up with their own pointless alternatives. They know their stand is destined to fail, but they don't expect to win, their goal is to stall and stall and stall. Again Three is better than others when it comes to accepting the future, though no-one is guilt free.
Losing the battle, losing the war
So while the MTR decision is a victory against anti-competitiveness and will eventually lead to better consumer deals, it is only a victory when fighting the wrong war. Don't be distracted by minutes and texts, reduced roaming rates, family and friends deals and evening and weekend call times, none of this should exist by now.
We must cheer Ofcom's decision today, but we'll cheer far louder when carriers are finally reduced to dumb pipes.

Where I stayed
I stayed up late last night working on the travel blog site with the Slowest. Internet. Connection. Ever. Not very pretty. I do realize now that this "blogging" will take some time and work. I don't yet know if I'm up for the challenge, but let's see how far my good intentions get me, shall we? (And, as you were forewarned, don't expect my recounting to be anything but utterly fascinating… Snort.) I'm writing most of this down first by hand in a journal (thanks again, Michelle, for the lovely travel journal!) and adding it to the blog site later, so at least that should help allay my short-term memory issues.
Last night at Guesthouse Sunna before heading to bed, we booked an all-day tour for today
During the drive there, we saw unbelievable Icelandic countryside – jagged ocean coastline with moss-covered black lava rocks; several inland pools; the ocean spray crashing over the coastal rock formations. Some of the most gorgeous coastline I've ever seen! (Of course, given how tired I was, it was hard to keep my eyes open – so I did take a little cat nap or two on the bus. Cat-napping would become my theme of the day – I think that every time we got back on the tour bus, I feel asleep, at least for a short time… Hahaha.)
But, I digress. Back to our first destination. "They" say that The Blue Lagoon is to Iceland as the Eiffel Tower is to Paris, etc. – a must-see stop on any Icelandic tour. So, what IS The Blue Lagoon, you ask? A classic 80s movie about two good-looking teenagers growing up together on a deserted island? NO. (Well, yes, but not this time…) Situated about 50km outside of Reykjavik (and an English family sitting behind us on the tour bus coughing the ENTIRE way there), The Blue Lagoon is an area of pools of milky-blue water that are fed from the futuristic-looking Svartsengi geothermal plant
The pools are surrounded by more mounds of towering, jagged black Icelandic lava rocks, and clouds of rolling steam and mist sweep over the bathers as they swim. The Icelandic Government also has installed numerous decks, bridges, and swimming platforms throughout the bathing area to accommodate all the swimmers. Bathers pop in and out of the pools (mostly in, as it is chilly in Iceland in October and the water is kept at a perfect 108 degrees!) and smear the blue-white silica mud over their bodies. Ok – so unfortunately, and for a variety of reasons, we chose not to swim – but we did tour the grounds and feel the water, and it felt lovely. Hahaha. Plus, it wasn't all sulfury-smelly as some naturally-heated pools are. Bonus! (Instead, we hung in the lovely caf�, I journaled, and we managed to send off a few postcards – impressive feat, I thought, as we are NOT postcard people…)
[Noteworthy: on our day trip were two very nice Norwegian women with whom I had some nice chats. They were excited about my Scandinavian background and quizzed me on such delights as lefse, lutefisk, and krummekake
[OK – I need to speed up the writing here, no?]
From The Blue Lagoon we traveled back to Reykjavik and then on to "The Golden Circle" in Southwest Iceland (otherwise known as Iceland's major tourist sites) – Pingvellir, Gullfoss, and Geysir.
Our first stop was Pingvellir, a geologically remarkable place where the Icelandic parliament Alpingi was founded in the year 930 AD. Pingvellir is a beautiful, lonely park – plains, mossy lava rocks, a huge clear lake (some of the best diving in the world, as it is so clear for hundreds of meters down that divers have experienced a fear of heights while diving!), surrounded by snow-capped mountains and several "rift valleys" caused by the separating North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.
But maybe I'm sounding like Wikipedia here. Pingvellir was interesting, but after some minutes of walking around, I was cold and incredibly hungry (no food in sight)
We got to Gullfoss about 4pm. Gullfoss, roughly "golden falls", drops 32 meters before thundering down another narrow ravine. However, as soon as we exited the tour bus to view these beautiful falls, we were BLASTED by freezing, hair-raising cold air and icy mist shooting off the falls. It was so icy cold, and windy, and loud – our hands and ears froze immediately. I haven't been that cold in a long, long time – and I'm originally from the upper Midwest! Uff da. The falls are really neat, but we took super quick pictures and then turned around and RAN for the long staircase that winds up the mountainside to the caf� and Visitor Center! (We did manage to stop our slow death from hypothermia and frostbite long enough to take a very quick look at the upper lookout area, too. Don't know how we did it…)
I was ravenous at that point – no food since breakfast except those darn fruit bars – so the world-famous lamb stew at the caf� was a real treat! After lunch, more quick snaps of the glacier Lanjokull (umlaut over the "o"), which could be seen in the distance opposite the falls
From Gullfoss we headed to our final destination of the day – Geysir (pronounced "Gay-seer"). (Apparently, Geysir is the original hot water spout after which all other geysers in the world are named!!!) The great Geysir itself used to gush water upwards of 80 meters into the air 3-4x/day, but get this – in the 1950s, some dingbat tourists clogged it up when they threw rocks into it in an attempt to set it off. Doh. (PS – Murray would guess these tourists were Kiwis…) Anyway, now poor old Geysir (get it?) only spouts about once every 24 hours, and not nearly as high as before.
Lucky for us, the much more reliable Strokkur geyser is right next door, and it goes off every 5-6 minutes! Right before sprouting, the water swirls and vanishes down what looks like an enormous plughole, before bursting upward of 15-30 meters! It was very cool to see – I hadn't seen a geyser since I was a kid (Old Faithful at Yellowstone, I do believe). Strokkur was framed by a gorgeous Icelandic sunset, so I also got some good pictures of that, too.
It was dark by the time we returned to Reykjavik (no surprise, as Icelandic days are short by October!). Went back to a downtown shop we saw yesterday to buy a beautiful hand-woven Icelandic wool wrap sweater. Afterward, we grabbed dinner at a highly recommended pizza joint named… Pizzuverksmidjan. (LOVE the Icelandic language!) Had a few drinks at an Irish-Icelandic pub on the way back to Guesthouse Sunna, and met some very interesting characters there (an entry in and of itself).
In the end, a very long but great day. Hard to believe we're only on day TWO of this holiday. Feels like we've been on the road for weeks already – but in a good way. Haha. Early departure tomorrow – Lisbon via London!

Hello again,
Based on the reactions to the last blog (Abell concise and me ranting), it would seem that people actually enjoy it when I rant. That, however, does not seem to include my wife who has made it absolutely clear, that all my ranting must be done outside her presence or I shall in no time at all, be ranting about sleeping on the sofa with an empty stomach (ha, I'm one up on her there, I love to cook and my sofa is pretty darn comfortable).
Anyhow, I am back here again with another feeble attempt to pick some photographer's brain. This time around it is the unfortunate Peter Adams. Let me be clear, when I say unfortunate I do not mean that Peter Adams has a troubled life or that success has eluded him. I am not at all familiar with Mr. Adams and so am in no position to make any sort of judgment on his state of affairs. I simply meant that it is unfortunate that his words should come to my attention and be used in such a crude attempt to further my personal comprehension of the art of photography and thus become the basis of my delirious ravings.
I discovered that while many photographers think alike when it comes to equipment and chemistry, there are seldom two who agree on anything when it comes to what constitutes a good image.
Not so long ago, I was particularly irked when a majority of a batch of pictures was rejected and thus I decided to revoke my exclusive status and submit to other agencies.
It has been more or less a month since I have been submitting to different agencies, and the very first lesson this new experience has taught me is that Peter Adams is spot on with his quote above.
I know a photographer who does a lot of product photography for luxury good companies as well as fashion shoots for magazines signed up to a microstock agency and after about thirty submissions never bothered to upload again. "I just got fed up with those idiots rejecting my photos because they thought the majority of the image was out of focus. Have they even heard of depth of field? Did they even consider that it may be on purpose?" he growled at me (obviously he thought I was either an idiot or a reviewer). That is a rather easy one to address, stock is different from what he is used to doing and therefore demands different things from an image. I can absolutely understand that the aesthetic merits of an image such as composition, depth of field, subject matter are entirely subjective and are hostage to a viewer's sensibilities.
But I was shocked to discover, that highly trained (or so one is led to believe) professionals with extensive experience in detecting such unforgivable deficiencies as noise, sensor spots, colour fringing, incorrect focus, are, in a lot of cases, unable to form a unanimous opinion.
It is simply astounding how one photograph can be accepted at five agencies and be rejected at another because they found colour fringing plaguing the image. The only explanation I can come up with is that the five agencies employ blind moles and the other one employs eagle-eyed, microscopic, electro-magnetic superheroes with the ability to meld into digital images. I have examples of similar cases for all of the issues mentioned in the paragraph above. Surely, we are talking about objective criteria that are definable, detectable and measurable. Surely, everyone should be able to see the same amount of noise in the same area on a photograph regardless of race, colour or creed? Or perhaps not, maybe people in St-Petersburg are particularly sensitive to shades of green and red, while people in Denver are particularly offended by dark spots on a blue background. Maybe it is the water or the air?
It doesn't really bother me anymore. Well obviously it bothers me a little otherwise this mini rant wouldn't be here. But it doesn't bother me to the extent which made me give up my exclusivity, because I now understand what Peter Adams knows. Show enough people a photograph and you will end up collecting fairly diverse opinions on whether it is a good photograph and even more divergent explanations as to why it is good and why it is not.
It's quite heartening in a way, because it means that I never ever take horribly disfigured images and that no matter what if I look long enough and far enough I'll always find someone who will be complimentary about a photograph. On the other hand, it is hardly reassuring, because there will always be the possibility that someone will find something wrong with a photograph that others have given a thumbs up to. As they say, it is hard to please all of the people all of the time.
Photography is not about cameras, gadgets and gismos. Photography is about photographers. A camera didn't make a great picture any more than a typewriter wrote a great novel.
I am beginning to wonder if photographers don't harbour a paranoid inferiority complex. Nearly every single photographer I have found says something about how a good picture has nothing to do with the camera but rather is a reflection of the photographer's skill in wielding the tool. In my last blog I had (at nauseating length) gone into this. Painters or carpenters don't ever seem to need to defend their skills. Even film makers don't seem to harp on about how it isn't the camera that makes a great movie. So why photographers?
My current method of addressing this is now quite simple. Anytime someone comments on how wonderful my camera looks and how it must take great photographers, I just hand it over and tell them to take as many pictures as they can in 10 minutes and we'll see how great the camera really is. Often, people end up being disappointed in the equipment without ever really considering that perhaps the ham fisted ape holding it is to blame.

dopest bottle
keeps me very hidrated
Nice lightweight bottle option
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Bottle is lightweight and has the familiar camelbak bite valve. Also the lid has a twist to lock mechanism that helps to prevent inadvertent spills or messes.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This is a simple bottle that functions perfectly. Its not flashy, it just works. Its a good back up bottle to have around the house.
the Podium bottle, devolved
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
These are not cycling water bottles, can't imagine why they are being sold here. The Podium bottle can be found elsewhere.
S, true. This is not a cycling specific bottle and not sold as one. This bottle was originally marketed as a running bottle as it was sold with a black run run strap that had a key clip inside a zippered pocket and elastic pouch for holding a gel or two. For some reason, CamelBak decided to discontinue the run strap and sell the bottle as is. It still has good features though I wish it was insulated. Besides the features I previously mentioned, it allows you to bite or squeeze while sucking fluid without tilting your head back. Excellent for trail running or any activity where it's good to not take your eyes off the trail or rock face. Also the loop allows you to hook it in the crook of your finger on the opposite hand while slamming a gel. Overall a great bottle!
Good bottle for the $
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
bought this bottle as a gift for a family member, very durable bottle for the price, for a bottle that isn't insulated these things are great, don't have to worry about dropping it like with some other bottles all plastic. I have one myself, and i love the bite valves that camelbak uses, no drip, no mess.
I like it!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I like this water bottle. It's lightweight and clips to my daypack. The only problem with it is that I drank some lemonade out of it once and ever since (despite washing it many times), I still get a hint of that lemonade... It'd be 5 stars if it wasn't for that. :)
Water Bottle on McNeil Shelter Trail
Used it to keep hydrated on the McNeil Shelter Trail. That's Mt. Hood in the background.
Handy and durable
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought these for my daughters who play travel volleyball and are not known for taking care of things. 30 seconds after my youngest daughter took it out of the plastic, she dropped it on the ceramic tile...it bounced. I just smiled and said "Perfect".
No bad taste.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
It's a good bottle. Holds up pretty well and it's kind of a joy to drink from. The plastic doesn't leave a plasticy taste to the water so, that was a plus.
The only drawback is the mouthpiece sticks out and can't be folded in, but for a fairly low-priced bottle, what more can you want?!
CK Funderburgh
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I hated my last bottle so I wasn't going to get my hopes up on the next one I bought but I have to say I love this bottle. Yeah it's not insulated or anything like that but its great for work or out on the trail. It is light weight so it won't weight 5 lbs with water.
Good place for your goat sticker
I have two of these...one for each hand. =)
P.S. Lost the mouth piece rock climbing and like it just fine without.
Great for trail running...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
If you're like me and don't like a pack swishing and shifting on your back or waist, this is for you. Easy and quick to refill, lt weight and simple to hydrate. No tilting your head back taking your eyes off the trail. Just suck on the mouth piece and your good to go.
It seals well and does not leak. I've had two in blue for over a year and only one has a minor leak around the lid (My fault). I'm rough on my equipment. Just make sure to hand wash in the sink and clean the straw and mouth piece with a brush. If you have to put them in the dish washer, place on top rack.
Clip works well and will also allow you to hook it in the crook of your finger on the opposite hand while slamming a gel.
Only wish it came with nylon run strap as before.

Clear strip makes it easy to see water level.
My favorite water bottle
This is my favorite water bottle. I like that I can take it on shorter trail runs and not have to take my eyes off of the trail when I want a drink. I can fill it with ice (using regular ice cubes from the freezer). I've never tried to freeze it, but considering that drinks freeze from the top of the liquid down, so unless you freeze the entire amount of liquid in the bottle, it should still be fine.
It blasts the perfect amount of drink into my mouth with a gentle draw and squeeze on the bottle. I couldn't be happier with this bottle.
The only thing that I don't like, is that someone at CamelBak told me in an email that they're discontinuing this bottle. It was in response to their selling the bottle with a bottle strap for use while running. They said that the strap and bottle combo will change to using the CamelBak Podium bottle, so hopefully the person from CamelBak just meant that the Performance bottle will only not be sold with the strap anymore, but will hopefully still be made and sold. If it's going to be discontinued, I'm going to buy several more.
Not so good
I'm not a very big fan of this bottle. Because of the straw, it is impossible to add a decent amount of ice. You also can't freeze it either. Maybe it is good for bike rides, but that is about it.
I fill mine with ice all the time. Be sure not to fill it too full of ice and add water before inserting the straw and you should have no probs.
Review Title
This bottle rules. It has the bite valve and straw to make it an adult sippy-cup. The polypro bottle is soft as well so you can wrench on it for a faster drink to get back to breathing when you're exercising.
The common complaint can be fixed with a little adjustment. temperature change, elevation change or carbonation will cause it to build up pressure inside and slowly force the liquid out of the bite valve (air bubble on top grows, forces liquid up straw...). remove the straw and it will never happen
If you run it through the dishwasher, clean any dishwasher debris out from under the silicone umbrella valve on the inside of the cap.
Great cycling bottle
It has served its purpose well for cycling. I'll put my energy drinks in this while my hydration pack is used for water. The bottle has been very durable, easy to use when on the go and I always love it when there is a spot to clip a carabiner. When I'm not on my bike I use the better bottle for workouts.
I bought some Camelbak Better bottles for drinking out of at home, and some of these Performance bottles for taking in the car. It sits in my cupholder and the water somehow gets sucked up into the top and leaks out. I come back to a big puddle in my cupholder and a wet bottle to throw in my napsack. Not good. Also, because this twists to open, instead of fliping like the Better bottle, my three year olds are not coordinated enough to open it on their own. When I started carrying the better bottle in the car I didn't have the hassle of reaing around to open it for them.

AR builds are very easy. My first one took about an hour, subsequent builds even less.
There is a very good tutorial in the AR library.
Stripped lowers run about $110-$125, kits start at around $400.
You can build a very nice AR for less than $600
Anyone read the AR build article in Shotgun News? They show how to build a Vietnam era AR, very cool! It has me thinking that an AR build would be a bit more with in my reach than an AK build for my first try, and according to SN (if I play my cards right) the cost would be in the same ball park.

pinball, I did read the article and hit the internet right away looking for parts. If your going to do a build Cheaper Than Dirt has the triangular hand guards for $9.97, don't pass this deal up!Originally Posted by pinball
7.62, did you build your rifle from the ground up or was some of it pre-assembled, such as a complete upper w/ barrel or complete lower?? Do you know where the triangular "keeper" (not sure of correct term) for the front of the handguars can be found? This seems like it might be a difficult part to find. I know that CTD has a complete Colt upper for $399 but I want to do a build comletely from individual parts.
It takes a nation of millions to hold us all back!
But can you really call that a build?
Or is that more like an assembly?
Unless you start with a bare casting & do all the drilling & shaping then you could call it a build.
I usually start with stripped lowers and complete uppers.
While I agree this is more of a assembly than a build, it is the most economical way to go about it. I did one AR piece by piece and it wound up costing me a lot more, even when using dealer pricing from Brownells.
Most of the Colts use a different size pivot and take down pins than the normal size. You can still build them on regular lowers, but you need to use special adapter pins.
You can buy complete kits including a complete upper, lower receiver parts kit and the furniture in any configuration you want from Model 1, M&A, J&T, RRA, Olympic and others.
The complete kits start at about the same price ($400) as just the upper at CTD.
Plus, IIRC those Colts are takeoffs, not new.
O.k., I'll call it an assembly.
7.62, I think that you are right, the complete uppers are probably the way to go, but my line of thinking was that I would be in no hurry to build, excuse me, assemble the rifle and that I would try to pick up parts at gun shows. Part of the reason many of us like to go to these is the haggling done and the satisfaction of getting something at a really good price. I will also be looking on the internet for good vendor deals and maybe a few AR site's classified sections. I'll give myself 1 year of searching starting Jan. 1. 2007. The time between gun shows will also allow some cash regeneration to take place. If after that time period I do not have all of the parts then I will just purchase the neccessary completed assemblies. I think this will be a fun way to do this and it won't break the bank.
Thanks again for the advice 7.62.
It takes a nation of millions to hold us all back!
I saw Vietnam era M16 uppers complete someplace, but I can't for the life of me remember, if I remember correct, it was a hell of a deal too... Damn I hate getting old !
I did just see brand new Vietnam "type" completed uppers at cdnn for about $369. It wasn't there was it?Originally Posted by pinball
It takes a nation of millions to hold us all back!
I assembled a CAR 16 last year, I got the parts kit from M&A at a local show for $425 and a Rock River lower for $120 out the door. The upper was already assembled and the lower only took about 30 or 40 minutes to put together. The hardest part is being careful not to scratch the lower when driving in some of the pins, I put some masking tape on areas I thought I'd screw up.

Our team of hospitality and leisure advisory specialists has expertise in strategy, valuations, capital markets, and property and asset management.
We can work with you at every stage of the process, and see the whole picture for our clients. We understand the role property plays in a hotel business, and can bring together all of the components to make your project a success:
Hotels have become increasingly accepted as a mainstream asset class. Successful investment in the sector depends on a clear understanding of the underlying operational business.
Our specialist team has a wealth of experience in the sector. We can quickly and accurately advise you on every part of the hotel property lifecycle, from planning and development through valuation and operation to acquisition and disposal.
We've worked with a range of leading hotel chains to find suitable sites for new developments, and acted on behalf of land and property owners to find suitable hotel tenants. Find out more about our capital markets services
Despite the difficult wider economic conditions, the UK`s food and beverage industry is in good health. We have concluded lettings to many major restaurant groups, as well as to a number of aspirational restaurants.
The sector has matured as an asset class. Typically, restaurateurs take lease lengths of between 15 and 25 years, offer strong covenants and invest large capital sums on their fit out – all of which are important criteria to property investors. With potential for rental growth, restaurants will be seen as an increasingly attractive area for investment. Find out more about our agency services for the hospitality and leisure sector
We have experience in advising clients across a wide range of other hospitality-related sectors, including nightclubs, casinos, health and fitness, equestrian premises, golf and mixed use developments. Our skills extend to cover other leisure classes, including pubs, live music venues, theatres and cinemas and sports stadia – we advise a third of all English football clubs on their business rates and, in all, represent a quarter of all Premiership and Football League clubs in England and Wales.
The advice we provide is built on a thorough understanding of each sector – we analyse trends to identify possible opportunities for investors, developers and occupiers alike.
For example, cinemas are an example of a sector worth watching. While developing a cinema in isolation is rarely financially feasible, a cinema does act as an anchor for further complementary leisure uses such as the restaurant sector. A number of the major cinema operators are preletting new leisure developments and smaller specialist cinemas are also expanding.

Serves 4
This preparation makes a great mid-day meal. The cantaloupe, watercress, and jicama work together nicely to contrast the mild flavor and firmness of the chilled meat. Roasted cumin seeds in the vinaigrette add an exotic flavor that pushes this combination over the top. Peaches, plums, figs, and apples could work nicely in place of the cantaloupe, and if you prefer something with less bite, try mâche or Boston lettuce instead of watercress. Also, it's a great way to use leftover pork. Lamb or beef work well here too.
4 teaspoons cumin seeds,
toasted and coarsely ground
4-1/2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup walnut oil
Salt and pepper
2 thick-cut boneless pork chops
(or pork loin)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 red onion, julienned
1 tablespoon butter
4 cups watercress, stemmed
2 cups julienned cantaloupe
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
1 cup peeled and julienned jicama
To prepare the vinaigrette: Place the cumin and raspberry vinegar in a small bowl and slowly whisk in the olive oil and walnut oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
To prepare the pork: Season the pork with salt and pepper. Place the canola oil in a hot sauté pan over high heat and sear the pork for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the pork has an internal temperature of 150 degrees. Reserve any pan juices and refrigerate the meat for 1 hour, or until completely chilled. Thinly slice the pork and season to taste with salt and pepper.
To prepare the onions: Cook the onion in the butter over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until golden and caramelized. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
To prepare the salad: Toss together the watercress, onions, cantaloupe, walnuts, jicama, and three-quarters of the vinaigrette. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Place some of the salad in the center of each plate and top with a few of the pork slices. Spoon the remaining vinaigrette and pan juices over the pork and around the plates. Top with freshly ground black pepper.
Wine Notes
Wines with melon flavors and full acidity will marry well with the dish. Rieslings from Western Australia such as Leeuwin Estate and Franklin Estate have delicate melon flavors and bright acidity that complement the cumin and stand up to the pork.
