I volunteered with my boyfriend last month for one weekend. We taught a science lesson and played with the children for the rest of the weekend. It was amazing to see how well run the children's home is. The children are well fed, clothed and seem of great spirits. I highly recommend anyone to volunteer at this nonprofit.
I worked with Warm Heart as a product designer and market researcher for a period of 3 months. I learned so much about the difficulties of ethical design while working in a place to which one has no cultural ties. I also came to understand how Warm Heart navigates these issues, and succeeds in creating beautiful, ethical products with the Phrao women's co-ops, creating work and providing stable income for their members. Warm Heart has created work for silk spinners, weavers and dyers, helping them to continue utilizing these ancient, precise skills. Together they create high quality textiles that benefit everyone involved. While there, I also experienced all of the other great things Warm Heart does for the community, such as providing a children's home for dozens of kids, and making strides in the development of biochar and sustainable agriculture.
I spent two and a half months at Warm Heart, and I have never encountered a more holistic approach to public service. What is so inspiring about this organization is the fact that they support the community from all angles- public health, education, and Microenterprise. The children I met from the Children's Home changed me in remarkable ways, and their futures, thanks to support from Warm Heart, are so much brighter than that of the typical child's in rural Thailand.
I worked at Warm Heart for 2 months in total. I had a really great time volunteering with Warm Heart, and I helped with the BioChar project - a great project that will have a noticeable health benefit to all those living in Northern Thailand.
Warm Hearts location allows for those volunteering to have a great mix between learning the local culture (thai boxing classes in local village, can help and learn thai cooking with some of the restaurants nearby) and also some big city life as theres a songtow bus a few times a day to Chang Mai.
All in all a really great experience and am thoroughly grateful for all that Warm Heart do!
I volunteered for Warm Heart in Thailand for 2 months. I split my time between community work and work at a children's home.
I made home visits to provide psychological and physical support to vulnerable adults. I also reviewed and re-structured the Warm Heart programme to achieve consistent visits, set clear patient goals and efficiently deliver resources. I project managed a Psychological Interventions Project where I worked with 39 children living at a children's home to assess and document their mental health, and to recommend and action appropriate interventions.
Warm Heart is a beautiful place with beautiful people. If you have the drive and a self-start approach to work then you have the opportunity to make a difference and learn a lot. I am forever grateful for the amazing experience I had here.
I have spent sometime here at Warmheart, and found that Evelind and Michael have created and continue to support a great children's home with out reach into the community.
The areas I am familiar with where they are involved are :
1) a public health support service for people who are at risk and unsupported by family or other community members, and
2)the development of a programme to clean the air environment of toxic smoke caused by burn off of vegetation.This programme is developing and researching methods of biochar production, and teaching community farmers and children of the benefits of this process. Biochar is returned to the soil,sequestering the carbon (mitigating effects of climate warming), at the same time enhancing soil fertility.
I have found Warmheart to be a great place to work, and very well organised. There is clear leadership, and consideration not only of the people they serve, but also the workers volunteers,who are given the opportunity to use and develop their passion and ideas, whatever they may be, and share them in a way that enhances the work done here, at the home and in the community.
I congratulate Evelind and Michael on their work , and fully recommend this as worthwhile nonprofit organisation.
The positive impact that this small community organization has on so many lives is truly inspiring. The people involved are dedicated and determined to make a difference. The children in the care of Warm Heart are thriving and advancing with their education. The home visits they provide for destitute seniors and disabled in the community bring a ray of hope and sunshine into their lives. But Warm Hearts concern and care goes far beyond the community of Phrao. Their environmental program continues to expand across the world, eventually having an impact on all of our lives, and the lives of future generation.
My experience at Warm Heart was fantastic! I felt very involved in many different projects and I learned a lot and grew from my time here. I came in to my volunteering with a plan for a project and I think this made a huge difference in my experience because if you are not eager and willing to work and get things done, no one is going to watch over you to make sure you are doing something. So if you are looking for someone to hold your hand and instruct you on every part of your work, this is not the place for you to volunteer. You must be committed and engaged in order to get things done and make a difference at Warm Heart. The Warm Heart main "campus" is where I stayed during my time here. I lived in one of the volunteer houses which was very comfortable with a bed, fan, mosquito net, shelves, and a bedside table. The bed is hard so if you are wanting something plush then you could get a mattress pad or something but it was fine to me and I slept on it for 10 weeks. The room was tightly sealed and had screens to cover all the openings, so I didn't even have to use my mosquito net the whole time I was there! And I did not get bit inside my room even once for 10 weeks! You need to wash the sheets and bed covers yourself but they have a washer and spinner at Warm Heart that you can use. I recommend staying on the main campus if possible, it is convenient and nice. The bathrooms are just outside the rooms and so is the sink and a little kitchen area with a mini fridge. So if you like to cook yourself you can! Or you can eat at the kitchen each day. Up to you! The food was Thai food and it was usually very good with lots of vegetables which I appreciated. I felt extremely safe at Warm Heart, in Phrao, and the Chiang Mai region in general. The Thai people are so kind and good hearted. I felt like nothing could go wrong while I was there. Plus, Evelind and Michael have security cameras to add to the safety. Thailand is a very safe place to travel, and Warm Heart is a very safe place to volunteer. The Warm Heart team all really care about the mission of the organization and are all committed to their jobs. Their hard work was inspiring to me and motivated me sometimes when I was feeling less eager to work. Every week we had a volunteer meeting to fill Evelind in on anything we needed, our progress with our projects, and just generally how everything was going. So that was really nice! Sometimes, being a grassroots organization, Warm Heart can be a bit unorganized. But that is just how it is when you have so many things to take care of and not enough people to take care of them! When you get to Thailand, you will get a Thai phone and sim card so you can call Evelind, Michael, or any of the staff if you ever need them so that is a great thing they have going. Plus everyone works really close together on the main campus anyways. The people working at Warm Heart are so amazing. I became very good friends with a few of the girls working in the kitchen and children's home and the staff in the main office are incredibly kind and helpful. Evelind and Michael are two are the most compassionate people I have ever met on top of being very intelligent, insightful, and fun to be around. I so loved getting to know them. I would have to warn you that there will be other volunteers there and this can be quite distracting because some people simply do not have motivation to do anything. My best advice is just to keep your eye on your goals for coming to Warm Heart and don't allow other people to knock you off your path! I loved working here and I look forward to coming back and working with Warm Heart in the future!
I volunteered for Warm Heart from June-Aug 2016, and had a great experience. It is amazing that a small grassroots non profit like Warm Heart can help with a wide variety of issues in the community. I was involved with multiple projects, from public health, English teaching, and environmental research. This is an organization which will not hold your hands, and one must be a self starter and autonomous to really thrive. I was free to work on projects how I liked, and was supported by the staff, both Thai and the other volunteers. Because this is a small nonprofit, there are certain challenges that come up, mainly, somewhat lack of manpower since volunteers come and go all the time. But they are doing their best, and even though there are times when they seem to stretch themselves thin due to the number of projects they are involved in, their positive impact and work in the community is visible. Evelind and Michael are great, very caring and supportive. I felt much at home here, and would urge other volunteers who wish to gain more experience in non profit work to join Warm Heart. Cheers!
Really amazing volunteer experience which helped me to find a dream job in Asia. I will always remember Warm Heart Foundation and especially Evelind Schecter who has really impressive dedication to the foundation. I am proud that I could be part of the Warm Heart family and my volunteering was really unforgettable. I would recommend to everyone to undertake volunteering at this foundation.

I work a simple job at a grocery store but I work late and ride the bus.
The problem is, I pass through some very dangerous places with some real hoodlums around, but my job doesn't allow carry.
I sent an anonymous email to corporate asking about this policy and informing them that I don't have a car to leave it in, and the store is in a dangerous area. I asked why this policy was in place, a policy that allows customers to carry all the time but employees can't even have a weapon in their locker.
They gave me an extremely contradictory response
"the k***** company feels that you have every right to maintain your safety while at or coming from work and have no problem with you doing so; however firearms, knives, or other weapons are not allowed to be brought on k***** property by any employee. Failure to comply with this policy would result in dismissal.
Please stay safe! "
So at this point I'm remembering that concealed means concealed!
I've recently put a ruger lcp on layaway at budsgunshop.com and will be carrying that in a pocket holster.
And good ideas for concealment holsters for that particular weapon?

I'd start looking for another job but at the same time I know that's no easy feat in today's economy so I think you are on the right track. If you can find another job paying close to the same as you are making now fairly easily then even if they fire you how much money are you really missing out on?
But yes, I am looking for another job, plus another place to live because some hoodlum broke into a neighbors home.
Had I known it was happening, I would have went over to the neighbors home with my guns and checked things out.
Police didn't even try to help, they didn't check for prints or anything, they just took a report and left. What's the point?
I am not a lawyer, I don't know your state's laws, yada yada yada. Nobody will notice a LCP/P3AT in your pocket holster, especially if you put something else in your pocket to break up the outline a bit. You could tape some junk to the bottom of the holster. I really doubt they will ask you to turn your pockets out, and if they do, don't. Just find another job.
Well here in Georgia, it's not illegal to carry into a place that doesn't allow guns UNLESS it's a law preventing it. It's no law preventing carry at work so I'm free to carry, but they'll fire me if they find out so I'll carry and STFU!
Pocket carry, tucked IWB or appendix (I forgot what they call the girdle holster...Oh yeah, Smart Carry). Any of those would work.
I've done the grocery retail thing, depending on your position, I'd put pocket carry at the bottom of the option list.
Your job if you get caught, or safety at all times. Your choice.

Deep concealment is best for carry in a non-permissive environment [NPE]. Check out smartcarry.
What if you came in on a couple of his relatives stealthily setting your neighbor up for a surprise birthday party, and shot his 16 year old nephew when he jumped out and scared you?
You can't go playing cop with your guns. That isn't your job. If you suspect a neighbor's house is being broken into, call 911, and let the pros handle it.
Your guns are for the protection of your life and those of your family. Period. ...and then, only in the face of imminent death or grave bodily harm. Notice that protecting a neighbor's stereo doesn't fit into that definition.
If this scenario represents your understanding of the laws related to concealed carry, I would strongly suggest you don't buy a firearm until you know implicitly when and where the use of deadly force is legal.
...and a hat tip to all the locals who are advising this lad how to ignore his company rules, or how to side-step them, as well as the gun hobbiests giving opinions of holsters and such. The issue here is not how this dude is going to carry, but knowing why.

For the LCP, any decent pocket holster will be nice for pocket carry (I like the Fist #5 a lot), and you'll want to consider picking up a Remora holster too, it will let you IWB carry literally anywere around the perimeter of your waist at any cant angle, as well as allow you to change between carry positions instantly. The LCP disappears IWB with a Remora.
"Trouble Never Makes An Appointment"
I understand that jobs are hard to come by right now, but if Kroger (come on, we all know who you work for) won't let you carry to protect yourself, which they are within their rights to do, then it's time for you to find a job that is at least in an area that you don't feel you are in danger in.

I think that any good pocket holster that breaks the outline of the gun will be perfect. Another option would be the SmartCarry which would allow for even deeper concealment.
"If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid. That's ridiculous... If I have a gun, what in the hell do I have to be paranoid for?" [Clint Smith - Thunder Ranch]
perhaps I should have elaborated more on that statement.
I didn't think about how it would be perceived until you emphasized it and broke down why it's a problem.
What I should have said in addition to it was I'd go over and check it out, as in find out what's going on, possibly get a good look at the suspect so that I can give a description, plus I would have called a LEO anyway.
But a "some guys broke in but I didn't see them, just heard them" wouldn't sound nearly as good as "the first guy was about 5'8" blond, long hair, big feet, muscular build, the second one was dark haired, at least 6'6", very slim build, short hair" IMHO
would I engage a perp?
H#LL NO! And for the very reasons that you stated "protection of MY life and those of MY family."

Passengers reacted with fury today after Tube bosses urged rush-hour commuters to consider walking instead of using the Underground.
Travellers who use the Northern Line between Tooting Bec and Clapham North during the morning peak between 8am and 8.45am have been advised to walk or cycle the 2.5 mile distance in a bid to reduce overcrowding.
Commuters arriving at Tooting Bec, Balham, Clapham South, Clapham Common and Clapham North stations this morning were given leaflets and told on information boards to consider alternative transport.
Transport for London (TfL) said they were issuing the advice as commuters often had to wait for two or three trains before they could board.
Art teacher Phillip Osborne, 28, who commutes from Elephant & Castle to Balham said: "TfL are a complete rip off. I pay £33 a week for zones 2-5. It's a joke and the situation really pisses me off.
"If you're on the Waterloo branch of the Northern Line it's fine, but if you're on the Bank branch it sucks.
"You can't even get on the train, it's already packed by Clapham Common - it's so annoying, it doesn't work and it's untenable.
"Asking people to walk limits their choice - some people might not be able to and it puts them under extra pressure.
Digital project manager Laura Ritchie, 31, who commutes from Balham to Oxford Circus, said: "You could only walk two months of the year, the rest of the time the weather is too terrible. The Northern Line is always packed and you can't even get on."
Laura Belcher, 26, who works in advertising and commutes from Clapham Common to West Ham said: "I can't see why TfL can't put on more trains. It's terrible. The time it takes me to walk the distance they're advising is the same time it takes me to wait for three tubes - except waiting for three tubes means I'm not in the cold and rain."
The Northern Line is currently being upgraded and TfL says it will increase the line's capacity to take an extra 11,000 people per hour when work is completed next year.
Accountant Matt Williams, 26, who commutes from Tooting Broadway to Balham said: "I don't think many people will start walking and I personally live too far away so it will take me far too long."
Gareth Powell, TfL's director of strategy and service development, said: "During the 2012 Games many of our passengers made small changes to their journeys which meant we were able to carry record numbers without the transport network feeling any busier.
"This section of the Northern Line is exceptionally busy during part of the morning and while the modernisation of the line will help to relieve crowding when complete next year this trial will look at whether we can improve the situation now.
"By making a small change to the time they travel our passengers' journeys could be faster and more comfortable."

2 Tips for Shooting in the Wind
Posted on October 31, 2012
Many bowhunters pursuing mule deer and antelope, especially on the open prairie lands, will face windy shooting conditions. Whether you should take a shot in the wind varies on two important factors.
The first one is practice. Have you shot a lot in the wind? And with your normal hunting broadheads? If the answer is no to these, then you shouldn't attempt a shot at a live animal in the wind. You must practice regularly in order to boost your confidence on such shots and so you can better understand the dynamics of wind drifting and how to compensate it. This way you can hit what you're aiming at.
The second factor is wind speed, specifically how fast is it blowing? You should shoot only in moderate windy conditions. Severe gusts, more than 35 miles per hour, could mean a severely fishtailing arrow that impacts your target inappropriately, causing a possible ricochet and a poor shot. In such conditions, the risks far outweigh the need to shoot.
Determining exact wind speed in the field is nearly impossible, unless you carry a wind meter. Otherwise, you'll have to come up with a more realistic field method. One way to do this is to pick up some blades of grass, hold them out a foot from our waist, then let them go. The length at which they travel from your toes can help you figure out wind speed. But again, you must practice this technique a lot and use a wind gauge to compare wind speeds with the spread of the grass blades. You can then make a chart and then determine how much arrow drift occurs at any given wind speed with your specific bow setup and broadheads.
Editor's Note: This excerpt is from a recent issue of Bow and Arrow Hunting magazine.

How to install Aprilaire transformer?
I just bought an Aprilaire 58 digital humidistat (I believe this humidistat comes standard on Aprilaire humidifier models 600 and up) to install on my existing model 550 humidifier. I think I understand the instructions pretty well, except a couple things.
The instructions say it needs a constant power source. The humidistat runs on 24v, so it has a transformer. The instructions say:
"Wire the external 24 VAC transformer into a constant power source other than the heating, ventilating, air conditioning equipment (HVAC) blower circuit. The transformer can be powered off the 120 VAC line at the junction box before it enters the HVAC."I'm no electrician, but I'm guessing that means I can just wire the transformer into the electrical box that has a switch to allow power to the furnace.
It doesn't say much more about the transformer than that. The transformer has two leads that go to the 120v power source, an odd angled screw (looks too thick to be for a ground wire and it's not colored green) and then on the other side, the terminals to run the 24 volts to the humidistat.
I'm planning to put this transformer in a metal box, near the switch to the furnace. However, what is the angled screw for on the transformer? Is this used to somehow mount the transformer in a metal electrical box? But if it was for that purpose, I don't know why they'd angle the screw. Or am I mistaken ... that this is the ground screw?
If anyone can advise if my wiring plan sounds good and what this mysterious angled screw is for, I'd appreciate it. Thanks for the help!!
you can mount it inside the furnace compartment and catch the 115V coming in there from the same switch that powers the furnace off.that screw on the back of the TR is for mounting it into a utility plate then onto a 1900 box so the 115V is boxed and then just the 24V is exposed.
Thanks for the help, biggles. I'm guessing you mean that if I mount it inside the furnace compartment that I don't need to bother with the metal box, correct? How do I mount the transformer in the furnace compartment ... is there a spot where I can use that angled screw on the transformer to mount it in the furnace?
You knock out a knock out plug on the box.
The angled screw is used to hold the transformer on the box.
So easy a caveman can do it. :thumbsup:
Or, if your furnance has a 24 vac transformer already, you can tap off the C and R wires as a power source.
I did that instead as I dont have a 115 vac power source near my unit as it is all 220. It also took a lot less work than having to install and run separate wires for the aprilaire unit. Since I already had to run control wires from the humidistat into the furnace (air handler) it was a simple install.
if you mount it on the horizontal or vertical inside the control section of the furnace you don't need any box.screw it down on the 2 foot mounts, wire the 115V to the incoming 115v from that utility toggle outside the furnace,and you good to go.outside you will probably have to add a 1900 box to an exsisting box with plate and knock out...because you won't have the room to side mount the TR to an exsisting box if that is screwed onto the side of the unit....that the reason for a plate cover with a knock out and that angled screw on the 115V side.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, what's a video worth?
Attached is a link that gives you access to a video instructing how to install an humidifier including the transformer. The site shows you a little 3 minute teaser video for free but you have to buy something to get the DVD. The DVD also shows you how to do a few other HVAC related installations.
I got mine free when I purchased a Generalaire 5" filter media cabinet from them (with merv 10 filter for only $99 at the time...it may be a couple of bucks more now).. My point is you don't have to buy the video for $50 bucks since they sell most HVAC related items, you can buy something and get it free.
if you arise it on the accumbent or vertical central the ascendancy area of the boiler you don't charge any box.screw it down on the 2 bottom mounts, wire the 115V to the admission 115v from that account toggle alfresco the furnace,and you acceptable to go.outside you will apparently accept to add a 1900 box to an existing box with bowl and beating out...because you will not accept the allowance to ancillary arise the TR to an existing box if that is busted assimilate the ancillary of the unit....that the acumen for a bowl awning with a beating out and that angled spiral on the 115V side.

Candy Cane Lane
El Segundo, California
There is an amazing street in El Seugundo nicknamed "Candy Cane Lane." Every house on the street is decked out with Christmas lights. The street has to be blocked off from cars because so many people come to visit the street. There is everything from the North Pole Airport to a house that has about six different toy trains running, and of course Santa is always there too! I was impressed by the houses and how fun it was, it was very well done, I want to live on a street that does that same thing.Taken on: 12/15/2006 | 1 Comments

Why Google - Not Facebook - Will Build The Database Of Affinity
Posted by Nate Elliott on April 15, 2013

Recently we described an idea called the database of affinity: A catalogue of people's tastes and preferences collected by observing their social behaviors on sites like Facebook and Twitter. Why are we so excited about this idea? Because if Facebook or Twitter or some other company can effectively harness the data from all the likes and shares and votes and reviews they record, they could bring untold rigor, discipline, and success to brand advertising.
But exploiting the database of affinity won't be easy. Any company hoping to turn affinity data into something marketers can use will need three things:
- Lots of affinity data from lots of sources. The raw data required to build a functional database of affinity doesn't live in just one place. Facebook controls the most "like" data, recording more than 80 billion per month at last check. But Twitter records more "talking" than anyone else (1.5 billion tweets per month); Amazon collects the most reviews (well over 6 million per month); and Google's YouTube and Google Display Network have data on how a billion people prefer to spend their time.
- The ability to bring meaning to that data. It's easy to draw simple conclusions from affinity data: If you 'like' snowboarding you might like to see an ad for energy drinks. But the real value in affinity data won't be unlocked until we can find hidden combinations of affinity that work for marketing. That'll require technologies and teams that can do some serious data analysis — as well as a real-time feedback loop to determine whether people really are interested in the ads targeted to them based on such complex assumptions.
- Brand ad units to get the best value from that data. If marketers are going to use affinity data to power brand advertising, simple text-based ad units won't cut it. Brand advertising demands large, video-based ads to create discovery — TV spots, pre-roll ads in online videos, and supersized online banners. To succeed, a vendor supplying affinity data must help marketers use that data to target online and offline brand ad units, such as the type offered today by TV networks, online video sites and networks, and online portals.
When we started researching this topic, it seemed like a no-brainer that Facebook would best be able to offer marketers the database of affinity. After all, it's by far the most dominant social site online; and it already possesses the largest collection of 'likes' anywhere online.
But the more we looked at the facts, the more obvious it became that Facebook isn't going to win this race. Instead, Google is the company most likely to bring marketers a usable database of affinity. Surprised? Don't be — Google can beat Facebook on all three of the criteria listed above:
- Google possesses a broader set of affinity data. I'll admit it: This one looks like a close call. But while Facebook has more affinity data than anyone else, Google's got a lot more of this data than you think it does — and Google's affinity data covers a much broader range of social actions. Every month, Google tracks what 800 million YouTube visitors watch and what they like; it also sees the most important social connections of its nearly 500 million Gmail users and tracks what they share. And crucially, the Google search index includes almost every review posted on any site online; the contents of billions of blog posts; and nearly everything posted on Twitter.
- Google's better at bringing meaning to data. After all, it's the core of Google's business: Dynamically evaluating enormous amounts of data to figure out what content people most want to see. It doesn't just do this on the search side of its business; its DoubleClick unit has been working to deliver more relevant ads to online users for more than 15 years. And Google already offers marketers tools for using performance data to optimize ad buys — exactly what's needed to get value from the database of affinity.
- Google's got the ad units that put affinity data to work. Let's be honest: No online ad unit can compare to TV for brand impact. But pre-roll video ads come closest. And that's Google's sweet spot; it can deliver pre-rolls to hundreds of millions of YouTube users every month. And while I chuckled along with everyone else when Google launched — and later folded— a TV ads business, that experience could come in handy as they work to apply affinity-based targeting to the ad units where it'll work best. Meanwhile, Facebook offers brand advertisers mostly text-based and static-image ads.
We're excited to watch Google and Facebook (and Twitter and Epsilon and a lot of other firms) race to build a database of affinity over the next few years — and we're excited to see how this idea will change marketing.
For more insight on how the database of affinity will develop over the next few years, Forrester clients can read our new report published today, How To Exploit The Database Of Affinity.
Absolutely! Additionally
Comment from Kimberly McCabe (not verified) on Mon, 04/15/2013 - 12:16
Absolutely! Additionally Google is less restrictive in connecting to people (creating groups), the cover photo area is less restrictive since Google focuses on other advertising streams and is less sensitive to that area of real estate, and the ability to create communities and produce online broadcasts that are streamed and stored directly on YouTube ready to be repurposed anywhere...what's not to love more about Google? Even from an end-users' perspective Google is scoring high on usability. Maybe that's just a perception I have being an Android user - but it seems much more intuitive to use Google+ from my mobile than Facebook.
How does Epsilon fit in with

How does Epsilon fit in with the other heavy weights mentioned?
Is there any choice for a new player?
Comment from Andras Király (not verified) on Thu, 07/11/2013 - 10:20
I totally agree with it! Although I believe new players can also join to the game of creating the database of affinity. Maybe the key is not the "likes". "Like" or "+1" is too easy to do, and may not refer to real affinity.
A social network, that based not on likes, but "owns" could be the best way to create the database of affinity. A site where you can show off what you own, and the focus is literally on products, and on who owns them, could be one of the best databases to find affinity.
Because if you buy something it means you already shown commitment to that given product, or brand.
I do not know to many sites like that, but wootocracy.com is something like that. it's a social networking site that based on what products you have. I believe what they do could be a good example for creating a really valuable database of affinity.
Affinity will definitely be
Comment from Chad Engelgau (not verified) on Tue, 10/01/2013 - 07:35
Affinity will definitely be important and I don't think any one company can own this space.
You do however bring up many valid points and I was surprised you ignored Google's search as a key differentiator for affinity tracking. When logged into google 100% of your searches are indexed, they also have email and insights into you affinity not just on what you receive but what you actually open.
The primary thing Google doesn't have that represents high affinity (but is harder to track) is photo sharing. Pinterest, Tumblr and of course Instagram (that Facebook owns) is a huge pool of user stories that covers your whole list from people, places and objects that we all love, cherish, desire and most of all share.

Support services
Working with us is about building relationships and achieving results as a partnership, not as individuals. We work hand in hand with you to ensure your exhibition stand is delivered on time, on budget and on brief. Being under one roof helps us keep in control of your exhibition stand at all times so your journey with us is organised and stress free.
Exhibition deadlines cannot be changed, so we have a defined procedure that helps us ensure your stand design and build stays on track. Every project we design, build and install goes through the same process and transitions across our departments, who all play their own vital role in ensuring a great result every time. We design your stand, build it, ship it, install it, dismantle it and store it, all at Nimlok, making the whole process seamless and simple.
Here are 9 steps we take to create your exhibition stand:
1. Consultation and brief
This is your chance to tell us exactly what you want to achieve at your exhibition. It's important to tell us as much information as possible, focusing especially on your budget, timescale and graphic objectives. Find out more about our consultation process.
If you're stuck writing your brief, why not check out our free download on how to create a great exhibition brief to help make this process even easier.
2. Preliminary design
Our first proposal and estimate is based on your brief. This is a good time to review your budget and the structure of the exhibition stand to make sure it's still what you want it to be. We also offer you the opportunity to give feedback on any further amendments needed and to review the critical requirements before the final design. Find out more about our design process.
3. Final design
Here we present the final design and estimate for your approval. We also stress the importance of following the proposed timeline to make sure your requirements are met throughout the various stages of the project.
4. Design sign-off
At this stage we need all the necessary details to guarantee on-time delivery of your exhibition stand. This should include a written order with colour confirmations and surface finishes, all graphic files and information on services. All these details will help ensure a smooth order process for your project.
5. Internal order detailing
We prepare your order internally, book a preview of your stand and release your order for manufacture. Find out more about our project management process.
6. Exhibition stand production
Your order is scheduled into each department within Nimlok, special materials are ordered, rental items reserved and service elements purchased. A proforma invoice is sent to you at this stage so payment can be made prior to shipping of your stand.
7. Previewing your exhibition stand
Your exhibition stand is built by our team of exhibition stand builders. This is your opportunity to visit Nimlok's head office and view your stand. Here you'll be able to make any minor tweaks or adjustments you need to before your stand is delivered to the show.
8. Packing and shipping
We require at least half a day to pack your stand ready for shipping. The shipping company will need to be booked at this stage too. It could be the Nimlok services team or another company of your choice.
9. Installation and sign off
Our exhibition stand builders will oversee this for you and you only need to be there at the end to sign off. We take away the stress so you can focus on your exhibiting objectives and enjoy a successful show. Find out more about our installation, dismantle and storage process

Babies who gesture have bigger vocabularies: study
By Julie Steenhuysen
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Babies who use many gestures to communicate when they are 14 months-old have much larger vocabularies when they start school than those who don't, U.S. researchers said on Thursday.
They said babies with wealthier, better-educated parents tend to gesture more and this may help explain why some children from low-income families fare less well in school.
"When children enter school, there is a large socioeconomic gap in their vocabularies," said the University of Chicago's Meredith Rowe, whose study appears in the journal Science.
Gestures could help explain the difference, Rowe told the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in Chicago.
Vocabulary is a key predictor of school success. Earlier research showed that well-off, educated parents tend to talk to their children more than their poorer, less-educated peers.
"What we are doing here is going one step earlier and asking, does this socioeconomic status relate to gesture, and can that explain some of the gap we see at school entry," Rowe said.
The researchers filmed 50 Chicago-area children and parents from diverse economic backgrounds and counted the number of gestures, such as pointing at a picture.
The team found that 14-month-olds from high-income, well-educated families used gesture to convey an average of 24 different meanings during each 90-minute session, compared with 13 meanings conveyed by children from lower-income families. Continued...

Euro mount
I have been thinking of doing a Euro mount and there seems a lot of ways to get the scull cleaning done. I came across this video of Dermestid beetles cleaning the scull. It's pretty wild.
YouTube - Scott Esker Buck
Best way I've found to do it is have a taxidermist do it....grins, nasty job....
Dig a hole stick the head in it with rack above ground and let the maggots do the work. Just make sure no squirrels get to it. I have a buddy that does it all the time and it clean and easy. Not sure if you use some sort of bleach mixture afterwords to whiten up the skull.
One horse had a good post on this a while back. He used to be a taxidermist ofr like 20 years or so i think. Hold on lemme do some forum digging...
Found it!
dont bury it in the ground take a good piece of wire and tie the skull aboe ground to a tree.the bugs will do the job in 4-7 months .or you can boil the skull in a pot ,outside it stinks.make sure the antlers arent in the water wrap in foil if you have to .after 1, 1/2 hrs THIS IS THE GROSS PART .LITTLE KIDS LEAVE THE ROOM .you have to scoop out the eyes then all the skin,meat and if that wasnt nasty enough you have to get all the brains out of the skull.I use a old coat hanger.Then boil some more ,clean any more meat,brain ,etc then let dry .take regular peroxide and soak a rag and wrap the skull .leave in sun.unwrap let dry sand paper any discolored spots then spray with Krylon clear coat. your done
Joel, appreciate the post I think I am gonna stick with the stake it to the ground and let the bugs take care of it, fortunately I live in the country and the neighbors won't care.
IDLY,(what a handle) thanks for the thread post I must have been out hunting when that one went around. One horse has definatly got it going on.

Karina and Taylor were married at the restored Spanish farmhouse Casa Feliz in Winters Park, Flor. on October 13. Pumpkins atop hay bales stating, "welcome to our wedding" greeted guests as they arrived. The bride wore a v-neck wedding gown and Mary Jane checkered print pumps whereas her 'maids wore purple dresses and saddle pumps. Bouquets featured dahlias, calla lilies, mums, fern curls, and thistle. The outdoor ceremony and reception overlooked the golf course with twinkling cafe lights overhead. Tables were decorated with lace linens, red napkins, tea candles, and unique centerpieces — succulents with hot air balloons — while glass bulbs were filled with blooms for favors.

who have staff under them want to send their staff next year," Schelin said.
That includes Mike Crowell, technical services manager of Salisbury, N.C., who has urged his operations manager to apply to next year's program.
"I imagine over the next several years, I'll probably have all of my staff sign up for it," said Crowell, a former president of the NCLGISA, and one of the local government CIOs who urged the center to create the CIO School.
Although his managers already respect his qualifications and he gets good support from elected officials, Crowell said he enrolled to gain concrete evidence of his professional status.
Best Practices
The courses expose Crowell to best practices that could prove useful even in a small IT department like Salisbury's. With a staff of seven direct reports and only 360 desktop machines to manage, Crowell said he doesn't have formal processes for areas such as project management and risk analysis.
"I thought this would be a good chance to learn a little more about those," he said, noting that though he might not formally implement risk analysis practices, he's leaning toward incorporating them more into the department's business cases.
The CIO School is evolving, Crowell said, predicting that next year's courses will be even better than this year's. One change he said he would like to see is a tighter focus on how IT works in small government organizations. For example, this year's courses contained a session on project management that focused on an eight-month project involving 200 programmers.
"I've got two programmers," Crowell said. "It's hard to take something that's applicable to a 200-person group and apply it to two people."
Schelin is receptive to feedback from participants, Crowell added.
"I've been pleased about what she's been able to accomplish because it's exactly what we had in mind when we started talking about it," he said.
For Schelin, one interesting aspect of the course has been seeing different responses from IT directors who have always worked in government, and those who moved over from the corporate world after the dot-com bust.
"The folks who come out of the private sector have a higher expectation of comprehension among leadership," Schelin said, especially when it comes to why a local government should implement particular IT systems. "They're also not used to the siloed approach of government, where the departments will fight tooth and nail to retain their data even if it means everybody's doing duplicate work, because that's where the power lies."
One of the course's tangible products will be a collection of business cases the students develop as a class assignment. The center will post this casebook on the Web so people who can't take the classes can benefit from those who do, Schelin said.
One student, a county IT director, wrote a business plan for class that has already made an impact in the real world, Schelin reported.
"He said, 'I took that same business plan to my officials and presented it in front of the commissioners, and I got all the funding I needed.' They came back and said, 'That was the most well written, nontechnical piece we've ever seen you do.'
"I think [students are] really starting to see positive benefits."

Loving my SRX--for now!
Well, I have had the SRX for a little over a month now and am approaching the 2,000 mile mark on the odometer. So far the SRX is everything I thought it was going to to be. Sure, it's not perfect. No vehicle is, but since I trade so often now I am not as invested as many on this forum are. Could I see myself driving the SRX for more than a couple years? No, as there is always something better out there. I have decided though to stick with Cadillac for many years to come unless I win the lottery and then I will have to buy a Rolls. In the meanwhile I will enjoy sharing my thoughts and concerns about my SRX until new car fever hits me again. The '14 CTS is looking better and better every day.
Re: Loving my SRX--for now!
Hello '12CTSman,
I am happy to hear that you are enjoying your SRX! If you ever have any questions or concerns regarding your vehicle, feel free to message us. Especially if you need any help locating one of those '14 CTS that you are looking at! Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post.

What happened to Laura N? No new car fever just yet, but you never know. I'm hearing the new loaded CTS Premium will be near $58K. That's a pretty steep price increase. I just might get the 3rd Gen '15 SRX when it comes out next year. Time will tell.

Re: Loving my SRX--for now!
Invested? SRX owners can always trade up or down. We're not prisoners here. At the moment, we drive SRXs and share joys and whines.
At this moment in time, I enjoy my SRX!
If I had a buck for every compliment, then maybe a Bently would be a great second car...

Scalia Views Congress as Source of Tyranny
Another excerpt from Justice Scalia's conversation with Jennifer Senior in New York magazine. This is right at the beginning and seems, given recent events, prescient:
[In 1974] I knew very well that the 900-pound gorilla in Washington is not the presidency. It's Congress. If Congress can get its act together, it can roll over the president. That's what the framers thought. They said you have to enlist your jealousy against the legislature in a democracy—that will be the source of tyranny.
But weren't you just saying that you learned from Watergate that presidents aren't incorruptible?
What, and Congress is? I mean, they're all human beings. Power tends to corrupt. But the power in Washington resides in Congress, if it wants to use it. It can do anything—it can stop the Vietnam War, it can make its will felt, if it can ever get its act together to do anything.
Apparently it doesn't even take all of Congress to get its act together. It merely takes one faction of one party, along with a yellowbellied Speaker, to create a kind of tyranny. Does Scalia view the current crisis (gov't shutdown, hostage taking, etc.) as just that, or do his politics, which tend to the right, get in the way?
Either way, what made me do a doubletake were his examples.
OK, first, the follow-up is wrong. The question isn't who is incorruptible (which is no one) but who holds the power. And according to Scalia, Congress holds too much of it. His evidence?
It can do anything—it can stop the Vietnam War, it can make its will felt, if it can ever get its act together to do anything.
So: stopping a war it didn't start, despite Article One of the Constitution, and the vague "making its will felt."
Sloppy. I need to see more work here, Antonin.

Automotive Restorations Inc.
recently purchased this antique car trunk from Treasured Chests to go on a
1938 Rolls-Royce
Wraith they were restoring for a customer. The patina was left on the trunk to
match the rest of the car and
everyone was very pleased with the results. This beautiful car also has 7
passenger limousine coachwork by Inskip.
You can check out their
restoration facility at
We found this nice auto trunk on the spur of the
moment and just couldn't pass it up but when we got home with it realized we
just don't have time to restore it properly. So we can pass some savings on to
you and you can do it yourself, your way, for your car. Overall it's in very good
condition, all the hardware is there and in good condition. The latches could
stand some polishing, the handle on one end could be replaced or repaired, the
lid stay could be reconnected and the fabric could be tacked back down in a few
small places. There is one spot of damage on the lower left front but a good
detail person should be able to patch it. Yes, it's green and is the first
automobile trunk we've ever had that wasn't black but the color could be changed
to suit your car. Sound like a lot of work? Well, if you've been seriously
looking for a REAL antique car trunk then you know how very difficult they are
to find, especially ones in as good condition as this one, though it's not
perfect. It measures
36" wide x 16" deep (front to back) x 19" tall.
The patent on the lid stay is from 1928. Trunk # BQ0503.

BELLEVILLE, Ill. (AP) – Two southwestern Illinois men are accused of illegal dumping after police say they found more than 1,000 scrap tires inside a former East St. Louis club.
The Belleville News-Democrat reports St. Clair County prosecutors have charged 32-year-old Patrick Singleton of Granite City and 34-year-old Robert Evans Jr. of O'Fallon with criminal disposal of waste.
Police say officers responding to a tip from witnesses found the two men with a flatbed loaded with tires outside the former Club Casino. A warrant alleges the men dumped more than 50 waste tires at a site unapproved as a sanitary landfill.
Online court records don't show whether Singleton or Evans have attorneys. They do not have listed home telephone numbers.

Body mass index (BMI) independently predicts mortality in studies of HIV infected patients initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART). We hypothesized that poorer nutritional status would be associated with smaller gains in CD4 count in Rwandan women initiating ART.
The Rwandan Women's Interassociation Study and Assessment, enrolled 710 ART-naïve HIV-positive and 226 HIV-negative women in 2005 with follow-up every 6 months. The outcome assessed in this study was change in CD4 count at 6, 12, and 24 months after ART initiation. Nutritional status measures taken prior to ART initiation were BMI; height adjusted fat free mass (FFMI); height adjusted fat mass (FMI), and sum of skinfold measurements. 475 women initiated ART. Mean (within 6 months) pre-ART CD4 count was 216 cells/µL. Prior to ART initiation, the mean (±SD) BMI was 21.6 (±3.78) kg/m2 (18.3% malnourished with BMI<18.5); and among women for whom the following were measured, mean FFMI was 17.10 (±1.76) kg/m2; FMI 4.7 (±3.5) kg/m2 and sum of skinfold measurements 4.9 (±2.7) cm. FFMI was significantly associated with a smaller change in CD4 count at 6 months in univariate analysis (-6.7 cells/uL per kg/m2, p ?=?0.03) only. In multivariate analysis after adjustment for covariates, no nutritional variable was associated with change in CD4 count at any follow up visit.
In this cohort of African women initiating ART, no measure of malnutrition prior to ART was consistently associated with change in CD4 count at 6, 12, and 24 months of follow up, suggesting that poorer pre-treatment nutritional status does not prevent an excellent response to ART.

In Dubai slowdown, remittances under pressure
By Amran Abocar
DUBAI (Reuters) - Shalu, a 33-year-old Indian, paid 50,000 Indian rupees ($1,000) to an agency which shipped him to a construction job in Dubai on what was to be a three-year contract. Last December he was laid off after just one year.
His company told him and about 250 other workers the work had dried up.
As signs of a deep downturn in the Gulf state's once-buoyant property market multiply, those migrant workers who aren't forced to return are having problems sending money home, and their declining remittances may be a significant drag on the economies of South Asia.
Shalu, who asked to remain anonymous to protect his chances of future employment, had been sending funds back to his wife and six-year-old son, but is now trying to put together the cash for another agency fee to try his luck in Saudi Arabia.
"It's a big problem," he said by telephone from his village in Kerala, India. "They gave me sudden notice and no release (to find other work)."
A lavish trade and tourism hub in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai is a prime destination for unskilled workers, many of whom spend hours on dusty construction sites, live in cramped desert labor camps and earn about 1,500 dirhams ($408.4) a month.
There is no current official data on the number of migrants but Human Rights Watch estimates there are three million from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh in the Gulf Arab state, the vast majority of them in the construction sector.
The laborers, mostly from South Asia, swarm over building sites for landmarks such as the Burj Dubai, the tallest building in the world, and Dubai's seemingly endless high-rises. Continued...

A Harlem get out the vote Saturday was one of several events held around the city to encourage people to show up at the polls on Election Day.

Also presently running small workshops for photographers from my Melbourne studio and also in other parts of Australia.These are geared towards people who have a passion for beauty and honesty. Groups are usually limited to 4 per class and the atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed.Am also seeking models for these workshops.

Atlanta, Georgia
Atlanta Prison Farm
The beauty of urban decay, hiding some dark secrets
Sometimes firefighters decide a building just isn't worth it. Such was the case in October of 2009 when the roof caught fire at the Atlanta Prison Farm. A defunct prison said to have been in operation from 1945 to 1995. The firefighters felt that is simply wasn't worth the risk to aggressively try to stop the fire, and to let the fire burn itself out, which eventually it did.
Such is the fate of the Atlanta Prison Farm which has been slowly rotting away for the last two and a half decades. What remains of it now is covered in graffiti, and kudzu, the ubiquitous and infamous "vine that ate the South."
The site recently received some new interest as the possible location of a 500 acre regional park, but the issue is complicated by the fact that while Atlanta city owns the derelict prison it is in another county, who is less gung-ho about the project. In the meantime the site continues to sit unused, except by urban explorers, and occasionally the homeless. The recent fire points to just how precarious the site really is.
Visitors are advised to take SERIOUS precaution. It is a no trespassing area and there are dangerous areas, such as obscured holes that open into the generator house many feet below.

Ashley Greene's Night at the Vision Awards
Stepping out for an evening on the red carpet, Ashley Greene attended the 2009 Vision Awards at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills on Saturday night (June 27).
Clad in a little black Dolce & Gabbana dress, the Alice Cullen cutie joined Billy Burke and Christian Serratos in accepting the Film of Vision award for "Twilight".
While on the red carpet, Miss Greene was still sporting a ring on her wedding finger, but quickly told Radar Online that it was Jasper's ring, saying, "I had it filming Twilight and I just kept it on."
Then asked her how she sees her life as having changed since her vampire film's success, Ashley answered, "How hasn't it changed?"

Re: slot argument weirdness
Thanks to all that responded, this really helps.
Even though I've made lots of attempts to understand what
pure functions are and how to use them, I'm still not there.
Some examples seem so clear but virtually every time I try
to do it myself, I find I haven't caught the idea. And I've
read thru all the HELP and tutorials! I'll keep trying.
Thanks again.

It looks gorgeous, sounds great (I often read particularly tasty tidbits aloud to my blogger husband) and the recipes are cashmere for my gluten-free taste-buds, nirvana for my olfactory bulb.

However, I made your pumpkin berry muffins over the holidays and loved them...even with egg replacer.

BTW, I just started my own blog "herself (gluten-free)" (http://herselfgluten-free.blogspot.com). Although I love yours, I needed to address some other issues, like migraine triggers in addition to my gluten and other food allergies. Take a look!

Glad to hear you are more mobile.

I was once horizontal for 8 hours, being a mock trauma victim...getting up was horrible. I felt so woozy, and it was hard to walk. And I didn't have a medical problem! I can't imagine how you must feel!

Glad you are up and about.

Cheers (rasing my virtual wine glass)!!

One comment, though: maybe it's just the various brands I've tried, but I don't understand why people use canned chopped chiles. They always seem so mushy and tasteless, and it takes about three minutes to chop and sautee a fresh poblano--which is much yummier.Sally Parrott Ashbrookhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-19281824.post-89950354935243144862008-01-04T03:28:00.000-08:002008-01-04T03:28:00.000-08:00I like the new look.
