La Maison
18th Century stone built traditional farmhouse recently restored with private pool. Sun terraces. BBQ. Swings.Table tennis. Table football. Sleeps 7. Lovely location near all amenities. 'La Maison' provides spacious accommodation for up to 7 people in three bedrooms. Its thick stone walls and timber shutters not only imbue a sense of character but also keep the house cool in the region's hot summers.
The interior is furnished with an ecletic mix of hand made rural furniture (made from elms felled in the garden); antique pieces and adorned with contemporary art procured from local galleries .
The silence is deafening! The wildlife rich - from deer and hare to hoopoes and goldfinches with coypou and , apparently, shy wild boar a possibility! A naturalists or artists paradise!
Suitable for the elderly. Suitable for young children, the accommodation is on one level. Well behaved small dog by special request and at owners discretion.
Welcome pack of provisions to get you started
Mouledou La Maison & La Grange
Mouledou, situated 5 - 10 mins from the picturesque bastides of Penne D'Agenais, River Lot and Tournon D'Agenais, approximately 20 mins from bustling ancient town of Villeneuve sur Lot. Mouledou, comprising the farmhouse (La Maison) and barn (La Grange), set in 4 acres of lawned gardens surrounded by fields of sunflowers and orchards. In this peaceful , idyllic rural setting you can relax and enjoy the views over the rolling countryside and towards the nearby hamlet of Cazideroque with its pretty houses, church and chateau. An ideal base for exploring Lot et Garonne - the well known historic route 'circuit des bastides' is literally on the doorstep. Ideal for a relaxing holiday, you can do as much or as little as you please. Why not indulge yourself in the excellent local cuisine? Within as little as 5 minutes drive of the property there are a number of excellent restaurants and vineyards (Cahors and Buzet vineyards within 10 - 40 mins.)
Each house has own suntrap private pools, terraces, bbqs, table tennis & UK satellite TV
things to do etc: I was asked by one of our holiday makers for a list of general information re places worth visiting, markets & restaurants and thought you might be interested too ?: (do have a look at their web sites) -
Café des Arts in Penne - no web site but look at this link i-love aquitaine.blogspot.com/.../penne-dagenais-plum-flowers-in-french. html kids welcome great salads, pasta & crepes.Penne d'Agenais is full of interesting streets, cafes, restaurants, galleries and the Basilica (church) on the hill-top – a really friendly, stylish but real village with a lovely ambience and great views
Le Moulin - Dausse - fantastic food a real experience, allow 3 hours; set menu full of surprises (our local answer to The Fat Duck!) - again not with the kids - about 5 mins away - DAUSSE also is the nearest good local corner store with bread
Dausse has weekly events during the summer e.g. moules frites evenings in the square with live music - great fun for all the family! (nearby Tournons has the same thing - gastronomic evenings, dances, fireworks, evening markets etc etc).
Pujols - 20 mins away - one of the most beautiful villages in France views, churches, galleries & views plus
RESTAURANT LA TOQUE BLANCHE, LD BEL AIR, PUJOLS, 47300, France. Was Michelin starred - v. formal, amazing traditional food (not for young kids)
L'EPICURIEN DE LA VILLA SMERALDE Pujols- much more trendy than the other two, good food & pleasant ambience inside or in the garden (could take kids)
La Table des Sens is a new restaurant in Villeneuve (25 mins) has good reviews
Montflaquin - 30 mins away another most pretty village with market etc - a must visit town - this restaurant is pretty good, informal, sit outside , ok for all!
RESTAURANT LE JARDIN 17, place des Arcades - 47150 Monflanquin - corner of the square -
Montcuq - café de centre & café de Paris - a must visit town with super Sunday market.
Very good, cheap & family friendly is the café by the river / bridge in St Sylvestre (where there is also a good local supermarket)- best supermarket is our side of Villeneuve - Le Clerc -massive & really fantastic; try their 'ready meals' and prepared paella etc - all excellent and cheap!- have a look in the side room for local specialities e.g. prunes in chocolate, foie gras, duck etc - often beautifully packaged
To help with your self catering:All these markets are in the morning unless otherwise stated.Tuesday Villeneuve sur Lot Wednesday Villereal Villeneuve sur Lot (organic market) - largest one in France, outside Paris - everything (look in the covered Halles for unusual things! - snails, breads, cheeses etc). Sarlat .Thursday Monflanquin,Monpazier .Saturday Villereal Villeneuve sur Lot Sunday Pujols. In the summer many of these towns have nocturnal markets. Each square will be packed with tables surrounded by market stalls selling everything for your open air meal with wine

About john bateman
I'm a Chartered Surveyor working in residential development in UK.
My wife was in fashion and is now a psycho-therapist - look out for workshops and retreats in the future!
We refurbished the 2 properties on purchase, and gave each one its own pool and terraces.We continue to refubish and upgrade the properties every year.
Every year since then we have upgraded the furnishings, decor and amenities and continue to do so. We treat Mouledou as our home, not just a holiday rental.
(We have a new web site mouledou.com which I hope will show how much better the houses now look!). We get down to the property as often as possible; usually 4 times per year but never in the high season. It gives us a chance to do a bit of gardening, buy new paintings and antiques for the houses and to instruct our excellent managers as to what building / repair works are required for the new season. We hope you enjoy the place as much as we do - our current record for returning holiday makers is a Belgian family who have been ten times!
John & Bridget
john bateman purchased this farmhouse in 2004
Why john bateman chose Lot-et-Garonne
We have both spent nearly all our family holidays in France since the early 1960's. It was after experiencing disappointing weather on several occasions, further north that we settled on this area south of Bourdeaux. Lot & Garonne is the smallest departement, but one of the wealthiest and most attractive. The rich heritage of both English and French Kings in the area together with the plethora of high quality wines and vineyards has given the place a sophistication that attracts good restaurants and shops, without the crowds of Provence or the Midi.
After 5 holidays in Lot & Garonne we were convinced that the combination of excellent local produce, beautiful scenery ('France's own Tuscany) with rolling green hills, cyprus trees, fields of sun flowers and idyllic white stone houses with terracotta roofs was the best choice.
We then had to find a property away from any traffic noise, within 5 minutes of a bakers and 10 minutes of a market and supermarket with no immediate neighbours and lovely views!
What makes this farmhouse unique
An aura of peace and tranquility now with wifi to La Maison & we hope soon to La Grange too!
2 self contained properties each with their own private swimming pool & terraces; each with their own table tennis, swings & table football (babyfoot).
A very private place near to all amenities.
Two individual historic, stone properties, each entirely self contained and with their own swimming pool
The ability to rent both houses for a large get together - or a house for yourself and the other for guests? A pool for the grown ups and one for the kids?
Available Rentals
£350 security deposit is required -all other costs (rent) are charged in euros and payable by direct transfer into a French account at the prevailing conversion rate all electricity and calor gas (hob) is included. The accommodation is professionally cleaned between stays.on arrival beds are made, bathroom towels provided and a welcome pack of provisions (enough to get you started).

comfortable, quiet and well located
Beautiful weather, lovely setting & comfortable surrounds with every home comfort.
Fabulous conversion in a rural setting
The stone house has been converted into a fabulous holiday hideaway. It has a rural setting but just a few km's away from a great boulangerie and small hill town. The decor is wonderful and tastefully done, the setting is peaceful with fields of sunflowers and plum orchards nearby, and the property is nestled in a great spot for some fantastic historic sites to visit (including hill towns, castles, vineyards and caves). The pool is large and protected, there's a choice of terraces to sit out at, and plenty to entertain from ping pong to table football. The furniture is farmhouse chic and the beds some of the most comfortable we have ever slept in. There's a wood burning stove too for that ultimate cosy touch. Wonderful.
one week holiday in june with my friends
MY STAY : I just look forward to go back...
comfortable : every thing was just right
relaxing : swiming, walking in fields, playing, visiting a wonderful region
quite : no noices but birds singing, frogs and cows
happy : you can enjoy your room, the garden and share the pool and game (table tennis, babyfoot, pétanque etc....)
just perfect for holidays and a very good recovering after hard work
Had such a lovely time at Mouledou. The properties and location were absolutely superb. I loved the attention to detail and the beautifully stylish interiors. It was such a peaceful place and I really enjoyed exploring the local nature. The location is great for exploring some really lovely towns and villages and even great for a day trip to the beach. Thanks for a wonderful stay, I'll be back!

Activity and Interests
Located in quiet countryside surrounded by fields of local speciality products - sunflowers (for oil); plum trees (top place in the world with California for for dried prunes); maize and Aquitaine Blond cattle kept for their milk.
The wonderful local markets offer local produce plus antiques / bric a brac and garage sales.
Nearby medieval villages (bastides) offer a variety of restaurants, seasonal entertainment (markets, evening suppers, live music, art shows, artisan products) together with both historic tours / trails and medieval pilgrimmage routes.
Beautiful views in all directions across fields. Numerous chateaux are in view as is the 13th century church of nearby Cazideroque.
The route des bastides (tour of fortified medieval hill top towns and villages) passes by and both Tournon sur d'Agenais and Penne d'Agenais are only 5 or 10 minutes away. Both are beautiful medieval villages, and have lovely cafes, restaurants and historic buildings within the town walls. The views out are majestic and take in the rolling country-side and the River Lot .
A genuine, unspoilt, yet sophisticated corner of France popular with the French and visitors from overseas - an area that has been owned by the English almost as often as by the French and known as France's Tuscany.
Other Activities: canoeing or motor boating on the Lot at Port de Penne (10 mins).

Real Madrid striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy believes Los Merengues have nothing to lose when they play Barcelona in the season's first "clasico" at the Nou Camp this weekend. An "unimpressive, though ruthlessly efficient" Real side beat Osasuna 2-0 at home on Sunday, while Barca looked more effective in a commanding 3-0 display at Valencia.
"It was important to win so that we can go
to the Nou Camp with a four-point advantage," said Van Nistelrooy, who scored the game's first goal. "With this, we can go there to attack, without fear. It will be a tough game, and it is better
to go secure in the knowledge that whatever happens we will remain leaders."
Barca's poor away form has been the main reason for Real's four-point cushion, but the Blaugrana were dazzling
against Los Che, particularly two-goal hero Samuel Eto'o, who played in only his second full match since returning from injury. However, Barca's treatment room continues to be a revolving door, as
striker Leo Messi picked up a thigh injury that rules him out for at least a month. Last season, Messi hit a hat trick as Barca battled back to a 3-3 draw at the Camp Nou. Frenchman Thierry Henry
is also questionable for Sunday's clash, which means Barca could be without two of its big stars for the most important match of the season.

So I floundered among details, little practical details, such as talking French to him and being seen about Dinard with him.
After months of suffering in a Dinard hospital, is now cheery and well.
Now that she is back, she takes her return as carelessly and unblushingly as a demi-mondaine does her annual return from Dinard.
All English-speaking Dinard meets at that teashop in the afternoon.
Months afterward I was able to welcome this gallant son of France back to Dinard.
Dinard was, in a word, the world—that world in which he had no place.
For she really knew nothing of life except dressmaking; she was familiar with no part of it except the way to Dinard's.
But what a disappointment Dinard is to one's enthusiastic anticipations!
The nearest train to twelve o'clock, by which Alec had said he would arrive, was the one reaching Dinard at twelve-fifteen.
But the boat, turning the point, steams up the harbour and Dinard falls away.

I actually cant start the truck cause my starter doesnt do anything at all now. my batt is at 11.## volts with key in off position but when i put the key in the on position voltage drops fast to like 6 volts I havent tried to crank yet since my oil pressure gauge isnt connected and my wiring would get an oil bath if i cranked the engine over. when i turn it off the battery voltage slowly climbs back up. To be honest the wiring in my truck was a nightmare when i got it. right after i bought the truck i replaced a melted headlight switch wire that melted into quite a bit of the cab wiring harness. I took out old lighting and cigg lighter wiring today. I also found out that my ground for my gauge lighting and stereo was a horribly rusted connection and an old brittle wire so i replaced it and bolted the ground to some sheet metal.
Im going to keep going through the wiring and cleaning up the old corroded stuff but i also am going to draw a diagram of my engine wiring just to make sure i did it right. I added a few new things durring the engine swap so i wanna make sure i didnt wire something up to a wrong post. I added an Electric Fuel Pump, Oil Pressure Safety Switch, mallory HEI.
I read if you have an hei you dont use all starter wire terminals but my starter has all 3 terminals with wires on them.
Also I need to make sure my oil pressure safety switch is wired in right along with the electric fuel pump.
I hate wiring

The Tucson Unified School District may look at reducing the number of magnet schools despite fighting a recommendation by a desegregation expert last year to do exactly that.
A $32,000 demographic study initiated by TUSD Superintendent H.T. Sanchez found the district's magnet schools may be hurting its effort to bring racial balance to its campuses. Under a decades-old desegregation case, TUSD is required to work toward having less than 70 percent of any one ethnic group enrolled at a campus.
Magnet schools focus on a particular theme, and are designed to encourage students from diverse backgrounds to come together outside of their individual neighborhoods.
The study by external consultant Applied Economics, found many of the district's magnet schools are racially concentrated, and are located in racially concentrated areas, essentially attracting more Hispanic students into the school than there were to begin with.
"There are going to be some tough decisions that have to be made and if the data are what the data are, and we're seeing magnets are actually creating more racially isolated schools, those are tough conversations that are going to have to happen," Sanchez said.
The best solution, according to Sanchez, would be to find opportunities to support historic programs and redefine and possibly limit the number of magnet schools.
"I think those two things can be accomplished — that we sustain historic programs funding-wise and find a way to have true, fewer, meaningful magnets," he said.
The last recommendation to reduce the number of magnet schools came from Special Master Willis Hawley, a desegregation expert appointed by the federal court to oversee the district's efforts.
Hawley recommended several schools be stripped of their magnet status after finding they were ineffective at integrating students or promoting educational quality.
Sanchez, TUSD Governing Board President Adelita Grijalva and others argued Hawley had never visited the schools in question and said they were uncomfortable with the court determining which programs are successful.
Rather than follow the special master's recommendation, TUSD adopted a plan that gave the schools time to make significant changes.
But the Applied Economics analysis found TUSD's enrollment is increasingly more concentrated with Hispanic and minority students, making it nearly impossible to avoid having racially concentrated schools in some cases.
"Just in the last seven years, we've seen the Hispanic share of enrollment go from 55 percent to 63 percent and that's a big change in that short a period of time, especially at a time when we're trying to do racially integrated schools," said Rick Brammer, a partner at Applied Economics.
Brammer added the demographic profile of TUSD students is distinctly different than that of the charter schools.
As of 2010, 30 percent of the school-age population was white, but they only made up 25 percent of TUSD's enrollment compared to the alternative providers whose enrollment is 40 percent white.
At the same time, Hispanics made up 57 percent of the district's school-age population. Meanwhile, TUSD was 60 percent Hispanic and alternative providers were only 48 percent Hispanic.
"Charter schools appear to be one of the factors bolstering segregation in the TUSD community," Brammer said. "They aren't to blame but they certainly aren't making the situation any better."
Of the district's 82 school sites, 44 percent are racially concentrated, 24 percent are integrated and 31 percent are considered to be neutral. Seventy percent of the district's magnets fall into the racially concentrated category, followed by 25 percent being identified as integrated and another 5 percent labeled neutral.
Because the district has been most successful at attracting students in the south-central portions of the city — where most of the racially concentrated schools are, one of the only possible solutions to becoming more integrated may be busing students away from their neighborhoods across the city, a practice that families have decried and that the district ended years ago.
"This kind of highlights the challenge that we face when 70 percent is our threshold," Sanchez said.

Please visit our fantastic new website by clicking this link!
By Sarah Taylor
Before I get going with this week's article, I have been asked by Eric and the Planet Waves team to write something about my own experience of Planet Waves and why it is that I have been a subscriber for some years now. Being terribly English, and subject to the unwritten law of self-deprecation and understatement, the only trumpet-blowing you'll typically find here is on the Judgement card. Having said that, I am passionate about those things that I value, and I value Planet Waves — what it stands for, what it offers, and its level of professionalism in a medium that often seems to want to prove everything to the contrary.
I came to Planet Waves through Jonathan Cainer several years ago — clicked on an article written by Eric, found the Planet Waves site, and kept coming back. As someone deeply interested in psychology and self-development, Planet Waves provided something I had rarely found before: the opportunity for inquiry and insight.

On a whim earlier this week, I decided to pull a card from the Thoth Tarot and use that as the basis for today's article. I work with the Thoth for most of my own readings, and it felt timely to go back to it. Yes, it tends to polarise people into 'love it'/'hate it' camps — most frequently due to one of its creators — but most people would be hard-pushed to refute that it is visually striking. I consider it one of the most beautiful tarot decks I have seen — and there are a lot out there.
More important to me, though, is that the Thoth doesn't fuck around. I use that language deliberately: often this deck delivers a similar jolt to the one you might get reading the word "fuck" from a writer who seldom cusses in her tarot column. Sometimes you have to choose your words, and your deck, so that they cut to the chase. Sometimes tarot cats, fairies, and 50s housewives won't deliver the goods. Today, that chase-cutting is gentler, given that I picked the Three of Disks (the Three of Pentacles in the Rider-Waite Smith tarot), which is more measured in the way it reveals itself.
The Thoth Tarot was co-created by occultists Aleister Crowley and Lady Frieda Harris, the latter's work on the deck, as artist, incorporating Projective Synthetic Geometry. It has become one of the most well-known of the Golden Dawn-based (or perhaps 'Golden Dawn-influenced', given Crowley's break from the Order in the late 19th Century) tarot decks, which generally embody a synthesis of, among other things, elemental, Qabalistic and astrological imagery. As with many of the Golden Dawn decks, the cards' symbols unlock meaning layer by layer. I am limited to my own knowledge, but the following is what does come to me when I look at the Three of Disks.
At first glance, the card is deceptively simple: three wheels sit under the corners of a triangular pyramid, this structure surrounded by jagged clouds behind which is a blue background. The three wheels are red, and they form a solid and equal foundation for the pyramid, as if not only anchoring it into the centre of the card, but holding the planes and edges in place, all equal.
On each of the wheels is a symbol, denoting salt (often referring to the 'body') on the left, sulphur (to the 'soul') on the right, and mercury (to 'spirit') at the top. These are the three core substances in alchemy, many forms of which had as their aim spiritual transformation. This 'three' is repeated in the pyramid's edges, which are reinforced in triplicate (with three lines at each edge). Together, wheels and pyramid form a formidable team, creating a stability that transcends the power that each brings individually.
There is a visual emphasis on the careful balancing and correspondence of each element. A question forms: what is it in you that asks for balance? To what do you over- or under-attend? If you were a pyramid, what would the pyramid look like? What would you look like?
From the perspective of astrology, the Three of Disks represents Mars in Capricorn. (The symbol for Mars is at the centre top, the one for Capricorn at centre bottom.) So we have the directedness and energy of Mars in a sign that corresponds with "tradition" and "reserve". Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn, which is to our inner world what the skin — which Saturn rules — is to our bodies. To work with Saturn well is to understand the notion of limitation. Therefore, what Mars in Capricorn describes might be a controlled moving forward, or a sense of dedication and discipline that can deal with energies that might otherwise derail plans and projects.
And now to the clouds with their sharp leading edges, and that have the ability to overrun the sky (which they have done in the Three of Swords). Here, however, there is a clearing formed by the disks. Among the clouds that have the ability to obscure, something remains strong and constant.
There is something very active about the clouds — as if they are playing a role in the energy of the structure, rather than simply being repelled by it. There is a tension between cloud and structure, the regular planes of the wheels and pyramid 'denting' the leading edges of the clouds away from it, turning them into blade-like serrations.
Another point of enquiry offers itself: without a sense of contrast in your life, would you apply yourself with the requisite dedication? Do you really want to venture back into the mist when you have the opportunity to develop such an aware presence of what is at centre, of what is available and also at stake?
There is a pathetic fallacy to the encroaching clouds. They could be ferocious, yes, but what if that ferocity could be harnessed to be your ally — shadow-cheerleaders on the sidelines, showing you what the alternative is to embodying the "Lord of Works": a return to something that covers over rather than reveals, and does so in a way that is uncompromising. And if you went back into the murk, Mars in Capricorn energy, when aspected well, does not let you stay there for long: it is too busy sizing up the next obstacle to negotiate, gearing up for the next uphill climb, looking for the next mentor or inspiration to keep at it.
So we see commitment to the card's alternative title: Works. That's plural, not singular: it is coordinated, multi-faceted effort. Look at the Three of Pentacles in the Rider-Waite Smith deck. There, we see, from left to right, worker (perhaps an apprentice), friar and architect. The latter two are experts, and themselves builders — of the physical and the spiritual realms. Another way to see this is that the apprentice is elevated, with his two teaching guides at his feet, forming that three-sided, three-pointed base, just as mercury, pointing upwards as our connection to spirit, would be nowhere without salt and sulphur.
There would be no chemical reaction; there would be no alchemy; there would be no transformation. This card indicates the ideal conditions for this to take place: balance, mutual activation and contrast.
And the ability lies within you. Capricorn is a cardinal sign, and as a cardinal sign, it is an initiator. You are the initiator; you are the initiate, striving upwards. Do the groundwork first, and you have the foundations to build something enduring.

As his younger brother Kyle says, "What you see in Collin is what he is."
To the point, Kyle answers the question of whether his big bro' is a better person or quarterback, "He's darn good at both, but it means a little more to be a good person, so I would put the emphasis on person.
"I'm most impressed with his faith. It's what I try to emulate," said Kyle. "It's unbelievable how much it means to him. It's the most important thing in his life."
With this being a glimpse of the total package of Collin Klein, it comes as no surprise that Tuesday he was honored as one of 22 members of the All-State Insurance "Good Works" team.
In a surprise ceremony at Manhattan's Bergman Elementary School where Klein was speaking to 488 kindergarten through sixth graders, local All-State agent Brian Green made the presentation of the "Good Works Trophy."
"Out of 117 nominations from across the country, we were looking for the individuals who stood out above and beyond in the world of college football," said Green. "That's not only in sports, but individuals who also made their community a better place to live. Collin is one of those people who make the community as good as it can be."
In accepting the award, Klein said, "I'm blessed with the perspective of not expecting anything in return for what you do, so with that in mind, this is a very special honor." Hosted by principal Lori Martin, the purple and white Bergman Dolphins rolled out the purple carpet for Klein, who spoke to the kids who littered the gymnasium floor.
He echoed the words of Bill Snyder when he said, "It's not always easy to do the right thing," but added how important it is to be unselfish and caring about the people around you.
"Having respect for your teachers and your classmates is important," Klein said. "Coach Snyder talks about sacrificing personally for the betterment of those you're around. It's not easy. It's hard to do every single time, but it can be done through discipline and hard work." And, he focused on the area of hard work.
"You can't turn that on and off. I can't just work hard on the field and then turn it off when I go to school," said Klein. "When you're on that playground, play as hard as you can. But then be ready to study as hard as you can."
Ironically, Klein's message from K-State's "16 Goals For Success" paralleled the Bergman "6 Pillars": Trustworthy, Respect, Responsibility, Citizenship, Caring and Fairness.
Kansas State's No. 7 Collin Klein is the cover boy on this week's Sports Illustrated that should be stuffed in your mailbox or on your favorite newsstand today.
Klein is shown throwing the football with the headline: The BCS Matrix Begins With K-State's Collin Klein: 27 Things You Need To Know About The Best Player On The Nation's Best Team.
"That's pretty cool," admitted Klein, who also received news Tuesday that he was one of 15 players nationally, and the only player from the Big 12, named to the "Players to Watch" list for the 2012 Walter Camp Player of the Year Award. "You always see that kind of stuff growing up."
He added, "I'm sure it will be talked about (in the locker room) and some jokes made, but we all know it's about us and us trying to be the best we possibly can be. We're just all enjoying the ride, myself included."
Klein's brother, Kyle, tells the story of how their basement was decorated in "SI" covers, and, "We'd pretend we had made the cover when one of us would throw the ball and the other would catch it by diving into some pillows." Asked if he believed in the "SI" cover jinx, or had any thoughts on Klein making the cover, coach Bill Snyder said, "No," he had no thoughts, and "Not really," in believing the cover carried a jinx.
Of reaching the No. 1 status in the nation, Snyder said, "I congratulated them (at Sunday's team meeting), and then talked about the things we did well, and not so well in the previous game. I just said it's important to be who we are, and be who we've been. Nothing has changed. We need to focus on getting better."

Ana Ortiz
With "Devious Maids" set to debut its second season on April 20th, the ladies of the hit Lifetime series fronted the May 2014 issue of Latina magazine.
During their interview, Judy Reyes, Ana Ortiz, Roselyn Sanchez and the show's executive producer Eva Longoria chatted about their initial reaction to the script and revealed what they hope "Devious Maids" will teach young Latinas.
Having already received the best gift one could ever hope for, a long list of Hollywood stars welcomed their very own bundles of joy throughout the course of 2011.
As for the new Tinseltown parents being blessed with their first babies, Natalie Portman and fiance Benjamin Millepied said hello to Aleph Portman-Millepied back in June while Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom became mother and father to a darling boy named Flynn in January.
Welcoming a beautiful bundle of joy into her life, Ana Ortiz gave birth to a healthy baby boy on Saturday morning (September 24).
The former "Ugly Betty" actress and husband Noah Lebenzon named their son Rafael, with Latina reporting that he was 20 inches long while weighing in at 7 pounds, 7 ounces.
Still cranking out new episodes, America Ferrera was spotted on the set of "Ugly Betty" in New York City today (March 2).
The "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" actress was joined by costars Ana Ortiz and Becki Newton as she braved the chilly Big Apple weather.
Making her maiden voyage into the world of motherhood, Ana Ortiz welcomed her baby daughter Paloma Louise Lebenzon into the world on Saturday (June 27).
The "Ugly Betty" actress, along with her husband Noah Lebenzon, couldn't be happier about her 7-pound, 10-ounce bundle of joy, and she can't wait to introduce her little one to the family pets.
Joining the celebrity mothers-to-be club, Ana Ortiz is reportedly pregnant with her very first child with husband Noah Lebenzon.
According to People magazine, the 37-year-old "Ugly Betty" actress and her Half Life rocker hubby will be welcoming their newborn in late July.
Following a trip out east to film scenes for "Ugly Betty", actress Lindsay Lohan and rumored squeeze, DJ Samantha Ronson, have returned to Los Angeles - arriving at LAX Airport on Tuesday (July 29).
After grabbing their luggage, the duo sat side-by-side as they enjoyed a smoke outside before heading off to an awaiting car.
Kristen Bell was among those gathered at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Wednesday night for the 16th annual Alzheimer's Association "A Night at Sardi's" benefit.
For the occasion, in which Boston Legal creator David E. Kelley was honored for his portrayal of Alzheimer's disease on the show, the 27-year-old actress lent her singing voice to a celebrity-filled version of Bye Bye Birdie.

Alignment on 65 impala SS
I recently purchased a 65 Chevy Impala SS that was stated to be "mint" and as you may have surmised, it ain't. One of the issues I have is that the drivers front tire rubs momentarily on the front of the wheel well (fender)when turning in either direction. Once the wheels are full left or right it stops, but will rub again as the wheels come back to straight. I measured the distance from a fixed point on the lower control arm to a fixed point on the frame and the measurement seems to be VERY close the same, like within 1/16". I took it to a local garage for alignment and all they did was to crank the strut arm back so the tire didn't rub any more and now when I let go of the wheel, the car dives to the left. Fortunately I have power steering and can control it, but I think I got screwed on the alignment job!! No, I know I got screwed. Here is more of the story. The car has rubber "shims" in the rear springs and is running 275/60/15s in back and 225/60/15s in front, so there is a definite "rake" to the car. Looks really sexy, but I think It's screwing up my caster adjustment. So my first question is "what could be causing the tire to rub on the wheel well"? My second question is "once you raise the back of the car does his have the effect of putting more negative caster in the front wheels and at that point do you just throw out the factory alignment specs and go for what handles best?" I'm about to start cranking on the passenger side strut rod to even things out, but I'll still have tires at different distances (centers) in the front wheel wells.
Sounds like you need to find an alignment shop that understands about cross caster. Did they give you a print out? Without knowing what it was and what it was set too it's kinda hard to tell.
Cross caster should be withing 1/2* usually higher on the right to compensate for road crown.
Jacking up the rear will decrease the caster some but probably not enough that couldn't be adjusted out. You could have some other suspension issues being the reason the lh side was adjusted way up also. How are the bushings, ball joints etc?
The other question is, what is the offset in the wheels you have? I've had situations where the tires did not rub with the stock wheels but exhibited exactly the rubbing you have when I installed aftermarket wheels with different offset. Keep in mind that no car is exactly symmetric, particularly ones from the 1960s. There will be some manufacturing tolerance built into the car, which is why you have shims under the fender bolts and adjustment in the door hinges.
First off, what is this "strut rod" you are talking about, your car doesn't have such a beast. It has an upper and lower control arm, and no "strut rod".
I do not know what tires will fit on your car, but cars of that vintage are often limited to some pretty small tires. That car came from the factory with tiny tires by todays standards! The tread on the tire it came with was probably only about five to six inches wide!
Post the alignment specs you have from your alignment.
I have seen many times where a "perfect" car will have a problem like this on one side. The thing is as mentioned they are not flawless symetrical. And you could be right on the edge on that right side as well. If the inner fender were over a tiny 1/16" it may be hitting there too.
I am betting on those "sexy" wheels and tires are simply wrong for the car.
It does have a strut rod , some may call it differant though. It has a narrow lower control arm and the strut rod supports to the front of the frame. The lower arm has an eccentric for camber and the strut rod is the caster adjustment. I've seen this set up on older Cadillacs as well and whatever gm used it on.
65 Impala alignment
Right "cheftan" you described the front susspension correctly. The wheels appear to be OEM Ralley wheels from maybe a Vet. And I'm willing to bet that the offset is WAY different than the original wheels. Aslo these look to be 7" rims (front) not the 6" or 5.5"(?) factory. Everything else on the car seems to line up real well. All the body lines are straight and tight and before the shop screwed with it it drove nice and straight down the road. I have no print out of the alignment as I was told that the "bubble" wouldn't read on my car. Whatever that means. I've had trouble with this garage before and this kind of confirms that they are better at BS than mechanics. I went to collage 30 years ago for auto tech so I know a little about whet is going on even though things have REALLY changed since then. I don't know everythng, but I can usually tell when someone is feeding me crap. The offset/oversize whells and tires sounds closest to what is going on here. Make good sense. I have a friend who works as a mechanic at a large GM dealership about 30 miles away and I think I'll have him check it out. Thanks to all.

Imran Khan and Monica Dogra lost their pants for an ad that aired yesterday. Don't get any ideas now. IK plays a shy boy next door in the ad while Monica plays a mischievous onlooker at a launderette. Imran and Monica, who debuted with Kiran Rao's 'Dhobi Ghat' recently shot for the first ad in the campaign, which seeks to proclaim the brand transition of a line of products for a leading denim wear company. This is Monica's debut ad. Monica has also sung the jingle of the advertisement. Imran and Monica shot for a leading denim wear company. The commercial was shot on the sets of a Mumbai studio. In the ad, Khan sees the launderette empty, takes off his jeans and puts it into one of the machines to wash. He sits down in his boxer shorts to read a book. While he waits, he doesn't notice Monica who's sitting in a corner, waiting for her washing to get done. But she notices him. She decides to have some fun. She walks past the actor, heads to a vending machine, picks out a magazine. And in all this time, Imran doesn't even raise his eyes from the book he's reading. It's only when he gets up to take his jeans out of the machine does he realise that Monica isn't wearing any pants, either. What happens next ? We'll have to wait and watch.

MAC Wonder Woman Mineralize SkinfinishThursday, February 17, 2011
MAC's Mineralize Skinfinishes are pretty popular, though they usually don't look like this. You can't tell from the picture, but these Skinfinishes are twice the size of normal Skinfinishes. As well, rather than being a swirl of colors (typically a bronze/tan color, a pink/peach and some shimmer with frost), these pans have the colors separated out.
Read on to see swatches...
I think the separation of colors makes these pans much more wearable than the typical Skinfinish. I was using Pink Power, which you can see is much lighter than Golden Lariat. The bottom pink/gold is also matte, and towards the top is a shimmery counterpart that is amazing as a highlighter. If you want you can swirl a kabuki brush over the whole pan, but personally, I loved the center tan color as a bronzer. The matte pink I used as a blush (often with a small pop of a darker pink blush over my cheek bone for added depth), and the shimmery lighter pink I use as a highlighter on my brow bone, nose and cheek bone.

Hey yeah I purchased the golden lariat.. and WOW they're gigantic in size! I like/hate it though LOL.. More product but not easy to stick into a make up travel bagReplyDelete
How do you like it so far?
I do like it, though I've found as I use it more that I use the pink as a blush, the shimmery pink as a highlighter and the tan color in the middle is actually a bit too dark to use all the time as a bronzer. Because of that shade the whole thing is a tad too dark for my skin to be mixed together (I'm using Pink Power, BTW). I think I'm just too pale for them at my NC 10-15 range.ReplyDelete
I love comments! Please ask away, provide info on how you liked something, etc. Note that spam, comments with random links (which I count as spam), anything not in english (again, spam) and comments that are completely unrelated to anything will all be deleted.

How to Print without linebreaks?
again a formatting problem, concerning Mathematica 5.2.
data = Range[500];
SetOptions[$Output, PageWidth -> Infinity];
"1...: ", data, "\n",
"2...: ", {data} // ColumnForm, "\n",
"3...: ", {data} // ColumnForm
On my machine it prints the followings: the first data is starting in
the same line where the "1...: " is, and is broken by several
linebreaks, according to the actual window width. The second data is
starting in the same line where the "2...: ", is, and occupies one
line without linebreaks, but around 147, the list is cropped. The
third data is printed without linebreaks (ss the second one) but
starts in a new line under "3...: ".
There are three questions:
1. Why PageWidth -> Infinity does not inhibit line breaking? (only
{expr} // ColumnForm does.)
2. Why PageWidth -> Infinity does not inhibit line cropping?
3. Why is it that the last entry in Print is always printed in a new
line, instead of continuing the previous one?

The electric car world has a long way to go. While it is a neat novelty item, I hardly see it as revolutionary. We had electric cars before. We got rid of them because of the same problems that these are bound to encounter. While they may be the most efficient kid on the block, they are far from convenient.

I'll stick with my Jetta TDI for a while. Its 34 mpg in town and 44 on the highway and a price of less than 1/4 of the Tesla make it worth hanging onto.
Its a shame that youth is wasted on the young.
I have a friend at work who is building his own electric car. He recently bought a small truck body less engine in great shape for $400.00. The entire price will be about $6700.00. There is tons of information about them on the Internet. I'd love to build one also. Maybe someday ....

The problem with electric cars is that they aren't really efficient overall. The energy they consume has to come from somewhere, and generally that means a fossil-fuel burning power-plant.
My favorite is the compressed air car:
YouTube - The Air Car
This, couples with one of these:
Pacwind - Products
Would allow you to be completely self-sufficient energywise. You could even install the solar water heating coils on your roof, and some solar-panels as well.
I like the idea of powering an air compressor with electricity generated by a windmill, that will be used to drive a car. Love it.
Compressing air is a hugely inefficient way of converting energy. There is so much heat of compression that just goes away. That represents energy just thrown away. Batteries have their losses too, but I don't think it comes near the compressing losses.

Jalopnik?), but it'll be in the $40K range. Sorry, that's a little too pricey. If they kept it around $25-$30K, it'd sell lot hotcakes. Too bad.
After 21 years in the emergency services, serving simultaneously as a lawman and a paramedic, I've seen wrecks from barely-bump to rip-in-two.
I'm reserving judgment on the electric cars until I see 'em on the road for a few years.
Batteries are my first concern. All batteries have an electrolyte; most battery electrolytes are either acidic or caustic. On collision these will rupture. Guaranteed, amigos pistoleros, with some of the wrecks I've responded to, the batteries will rupture! -- my concern here is that the patients, in addition to blunt force trauma, will now be anointed with either an acidic electrolyte, or a caustic electrolyte, thus adding chemical burn injuries to traumatic injuries.
This may also turn the scene into a haz-mat incident.
I've heard the arguments that "Carbon fiber bodies are very strong."
Um, sorry. After some of the wrecks I've seen ... no.
My second big concern is the energy contained in the batteries. Again, in the mauling destruction of a collision, what happens when these marvelous repositories of propulsive power go to dead short? Please don't tell me that's why God invented fuses. Again, in the massive, twisting deformations that occur in a collision, I'm concerned with a dead short on these wonderful new high capacity batteries.
I'll freely -- very freely! -- admit that it's possible these new electric cars may indeed have these problems solved. It's quite possible that people who are younger, smarter and better looking than I, have these problems solved already, and my fears will prove completely unfounded.
If that's the case I will be a happy man indeed!
Until then, my 24 MPG buggy starts and runs whether it's 40 below or 105 above, its quick steering and throttle response have kept me out of two wrecks so far, and I can afford to keep up payments on what I've got.

Types of Mutual Funds
What Is a Mutual Fund?
An investment vehicle which consists of a sum of money collected from several investors for the purpose of investment in different types of securities such as shares, bonds or money market financial securities is known as a mutual fund. The money managers manage the mutual funds and invest the capital in different types of securities to earn capital gains for the investors. The investments are made considering the risk appetite and return expectations of the investors and to meet the objectives of the mutual fund scheme.
Mutual funds offer a chance to small investors to gain access to a professionally managed and diversified portfolio of equity, bonds as well as other financial securities which may be difficult or nearly impossible to have with less capital amount. Each investor gets returns as per the units allocated by the mutual fund. You can buy or redeem the mutual fund units at the current net asset value or NAV of the fund.
Different types of mutual funds
Mutual funds are becoming an increasingly popular investment option for investors because of their simplicity. Small investors get the benefit of professional advice as well as a diversified portfolio of investments, which would have not been otherwise possible with less amount of money. Small investors who do not carry enough experience of the share market or have no time to track the market trends can definitely opt to invest in mutual funds.
As the mutual funds are managed by a trained and expert fund manager or money manager who track the market on a regular basis,you do not need to worry much about the returns on your investment in mutual funds.
There are various mutual funds types available for investment and the investor has a lot of options to choose from. Based on your investment needs, risk appetite and return expectations, you can choose from the various kinds of mutual funds that are available.
Criteria for classification of mutual funds
It is possible to classify mutual funds into different types based on the following criteria:
- Asset class (for instance, debt or equity)
- Sector (for instance, infrastructure or IT sector)
- Investment objective (for instance, growth or dividend option)
- Flexibility (for instance, close or open ended mutual funds)
- Type of the equity investment (for instance, blue chip, large or mid cap funds)
- Special funds (for instance, hedge funds or index funds)
Types of mutual funds depending on the type of asset class
Equity Funds: These types of mutual funds invest in shares that are listed on the various exchanges or share markets. By investing in equity mutual funds, you are not directly investing in shares and hence limiting your risk associated with the fluctuations in the share market. All the investments are made by the money manager on behalf of the investor.
Equity mutual funds may invest in a variety of sectors such as IT, power or infrastructure and they may be large cap, mid cap or small cap stocks.
Debt funds: Bond or the Debt mutual funds make investments in Government issued bonds as well bonds issued by other institutions. The investment portfolio of securities may include Government securities, Public Sector Unit or PSU bonds and corporate bonds.
The risk involved in debt funds or bond funds is much less and they usually give a fixed rate of interest. Investment in these kinds of mutual funds is good for investors searching for lower risk, good stability as well as a regular source of income.
Types of mutual funds depending on type of returns
Growth fund: Growth mutual funds aim at high growth and greater rate of return by way of aggressive appreciation of capital. The investment objective of this type of fund is to generate good returns over an extended time period. As compared to a mutual fund with regular income, the growth funds tend to be more volatile and risky.
Regular income or dividend funds: These types of mutual funds are ideal for investors looking to generate regular income from their investment in mutual funds. Here, appreciation of the invested capital is not a primary goal. These are a safer bet compared to growth funds.
Special types of mutual funds
Balanced Funds or Hybrid Funds: These type of funds invest in a variety of assets. The investment portfolio is highly diversified including stocks and bonds, cash as well as other assets. This type of mutual fund helps in diversifying the risk while increasing the return on investments as all your eggs are not put in one basket.
Fund of Funds: This is a different kind of mutual fund that invests in mutual funds all across the globe or in different countries. The portfolio of funds in this case would include sub-funds and hence it is known as fund of funds.
A fund of funds also provides diversification as well as proper asset allocation. This type of fund invests in a wide range of fund categories that are all combined into a single fund for providing maximum benefit to the investors.

Soluble Toll-Like Receptors: Potential Anti Amyloid Beta Agents
Todd Golde, M.D., Ph.D.
Mayo Clinic Jacksonville
Histopathological evidence establishes a link between neuroinflammation and senile amyloid beta plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. It has been proposed that continued neuroinflammation causes bystander toxicity and neuronal death in AD patients. Toll-like receptors have been reported to be critical components of the immune system that drives brain inflammation. In this study, we propose to express parts of Toll-like receptors which would still be able to bind and sequester the amyloid beta peptides without causing sustained neuroinflammation. Such engineered receptors may yield promising therapeutic interventions targeting amyloid pathology. Such receptors have been used in mouse models to target systemic diseases like arthritis and tumor therapy.
Inflammation of the brain has been reported to be associated with the development of Alzheimer's disease. Proteins called "Toll-like receptors" are critical components of the immune system that drives brain inflammation. Therefore, Dr. Paramita Chakrabarty and collaborators will express parts of Toll-like receptors in mice with Alzheimer's disease to sequester beta-amyloid protein and prevent brain plaque formation. The mice will be evaluated for changes in cognitive functions, beta-amyloid plaque formation, and the number of immune cells. This treatment is expected to reduce brain inflammation and thus prevent or reduce the severity of disease symptoms. Similar strategies of Toll-like receptor delivery have been used by researchers in cancer and arthritis research. Dr. Chakrabarty's research will help to clarify the role of immunity in Alzheimer's disease and could lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies.

One more example of Apple's close instinctual resemblance to Big Brother – besides the paternalistic moralization of its control of content and the patronizing attitude of its you-don't-need-to-know-how-it-works interface:
Rather than store location data from the GPS in iPhones and iPads in Temp files that are deleted frequently, or even storing it in encrypted files where it would be inaccessible to intruders, iOS devices store data about where you've carried them in unencrypted files that are included in automatic backups and are available to anyone with physical access to the device or data.
Even better, the researchers who publicized the feature wrote an app taking advantage of it, painting your travels (or those of the object of your surveillance) on a neat little map.
The app they released and talk they presented at the Where 2.0 location-services conference in San Francisco this week only looks at movements by day or week, but the data itself tracks location down to the second, all of which are timestamped so you can place someone not only at a specific place, but the very second they arrived there, they said.
MacWorld's Dan Moren found that it also consolidates itself as you move from device to device.
His includes tracks from his previous iPhone as well as the iPhone 4 he carries now.
In that famous "1984" ad was it Apple or IBM that was supposed to be Big Brother? I thought it was IBM, but these days it's hard to remember.

Asia to Get iPhone Later This Year
SingTel in Singapore, India's Bharti Airtel, the Philippines' Globe Telecom and Australia's Optus said they will bring the popular device to their respective countries "later this year", although SingTel could not specify whether this would be in the third or fourth quarter of the year.
The Singapore-based telco could not comment on whether the device would be 3G-enabled and if each region would get it at the same time.
ZDNet Asia previously reported sources speculating that SingTel would eventually win distribution rights for the iPhone.
However, CNet Asia carried a report today quoting rival Singapore telco, StarHub, saying all three operators in the country are expected to offer the device eventually, which means SingTel may not have won exclusivity.
A recent shortage of iPhones in the United States has also prompted some to speculate that the 3G version of the device would be making its debut soon--possibly the model which would arrive in Asia, too, although Apple and SingTel have declined to comment on this area.

Movie Review - Wolf Totem
Well, tonight mom said that she wanted to go see a movie and talked Talker and Me into tagging along with the BanCam for a movie called Wolf Totem. I must say that I was a little reluctant to go because a few months earlier, mom said we were all going to see Wolf Pack. Wolf Pack is about a pack of wolves in New York City. I was jazzed because I envisioned wolves battling in the streets of New York City. I had not seen a good wolf battle since Jacob's pack battled it out with those bad vampires a few years ago. I have to say that I was very disappointed in Wolf Pack because there were no wolves in the movie. There were only a pack of boys wiff long hair walking around New York City and watching movies in their New York apartment.
So when Mom said let's go see Wolf Totem, I gave a paws down. Talker said he wanted to see the movie wiff mom so they out voted me.
Anyways, this movie takes place during China's Cultural Revolution in 1960; before my time and probably before your pawrent's time too. Two city students are sent to the Grasslands to live with Mongols who are sheep herders. The city boys are to teach the sheep herders how to read and the sheep herders are to teach them how to be sheep herders.
The sheep herders believe in the power of balance of the eco system. Every living animals has a purpose and none can be eliminated without suffering the consequences. Pretty heavy stuff for the sixties. So the sheep herders need the grass to feed their sheep. The Gazelles eat the grass and the wolves eat the gazelles.
When an official comes to the sheep herders and gives them the responsibility of tending the army's horses, that's when everything becomes unbalance. The Army officials believe that the wolves need to be slaughter but the Mongols say that it is wrong and that if the wolves are killed, then the wolves will seek their revenge and come after the sheep. But the Army official do not believe in such things and they do things to the wolves that really piss them off; like stealing the food that they bury in the snow/ice so they can have enough to get them thru the winter or when the Army demands that all the wolf cubs are killed so that the pack is reduced in size.
This was all very upsetting to mom, Talker and me and I often had to hide my eyes at the horrible scenes. Is this what life was about back in China??
But true to the beliefs of the Mongols, the wolves did seek their revenge in a big way. I had to constantly calm Talker down as he was out of his seat and lunging towards the big screen. He was always a dramatic theatrical dog; always trying to upstage even the smallest of roles such as when one of the city students tried to raise a wolf pup. Talker tried upstaging the wolf pup by trying to coach the pup out of his den; trying to get him to escape the ties and cages that kept him from the wild; and trying to make him learn the ways of the wolf when he couldn't since he was being raised by a human city boy.
There was a thrilling scene when the wolves worked together as a pack and herded the Army's horses to a lake. I won't tell you the end results because it was just too much for me to take.
The deep meaning of this film was that you can't tame the wild and you can't disrupt nature's course and balance without consequences.
I give this film five paws up (the highest rating), five pupcorns and five snap snap and five howls to the wind for the beautiful wolf packs and the scene they were in; the running scenes, the howling scenes and for the movie's message.
We left the movie truly touched by the story. Talker left in a harness because he was trying to find his wolf roots and well...I just didn't want him to break our mood so I kept him leashed up until we got back home.
So...see Wolf Totem for a taste of the Wild and See Wold Pack...if you're a city person and want to see five guys running around the city in a pack. Not the same thing, I tell you.
Sorry for the delay in writing my movie review on this movie. I saw it a few weeks ago by hooking up the BanCam to my Dad's head. I actually don't need to do that anymore since I'm an Angel, but I do it for Talker because he can't go to the movies. He can only go to the drive in theater but we don't have one near by. So I give Talker the hook up via my Dad's head.
A good movie, according to my Dad, is one that keeps him awake. This is one of those movies and good thing because we've had plenty of movies where Dad has fallen asleep and we only see the dark floor of the movie theater and Dad's feet.
But back to my review! I really enjoyed this movie. It was entertaining and funny and the food looked soooo good. I wish there was smell o vision and Taste O'vision for this movie because that Chef could cook.
The movie is about a talented chef who conformed to what the owner wanted him to cook and not what the Chef wanted to cook. This Chef could cook but he somehow got caught up on the mundane and boring food that was safe. I bet lots of you pups have the same ol kibble day in and day out. I bet you pups would love to have your very own personalized Chef come cook for you. Heck, I would too! Anyways, this Chef goes back to his roots and finds himself and also finds that he is first a father and then a Chef and that's the important message to this movie. Also, that you can get really excellent food off of those gourmet food trucks.
I have this movie four bags of garlic and chives butter popcorn with sea salt. Not your every movie day popcorn, but the real buttered popcorn. I don't recall any pups in the movie, but I may have missed them because I kept flying to the screen to press my nose over the dishes to see if I could smell the food.
So go see Chef and then go have a really excellent meal! Talker's treat! Just send him the bill.
Talker, the basenji who Cried Wolf!
Oh boy do I have a Tell for you. Well let me tell you what happened this late afternoon. Mom has been home sick all week. Actually gramma was at our house sick too. So Talker was home wiff mom all week but she was too sick to really pay much attention to him. So this afternoon mom felt a bit better and took him for a walk. Well they just got started when they saw the elderly Miss Minnie who was taking her afternoon walk. Mom always stops and talks wiff her cuz she nice and mom always gives her pictures of our xmas cards and Talker's Valentine Day's cards. She really likes Talker. She liked me too and more but now she only likes Talker.
Anyway, they chatted awhile and talker got whinny and they moved on. Then mom saw her other friend who walks Sage who will be 18 on April 18th! Way to go Sage! Oh pawsitive paws for Sage who is going to the vet on Saturday cuz he hasn't been feeling too well.
Anyways, Talker was getting upset cuz they were now heading home. So they said their good byes and moved on.
Well Talker had to pooped and then he did his boy dawg patch out on the grass. After he got off the grass he started limping and holding up his paw. Mom checked it and checked it and couldn't find anything. All the way home Talker kept licking and limping.
Then they get home and all the way I'm telling mom that Talker is faking it cuz he wants attention. But then Talker starts making that funny face of his like when he's gonna throw up and sure enough! He throws up! That yellow stuff. He did it three times! Then he's running around the backyard and panting and running in the house and tearing up the beds by digging to china! Mom keeps checking him but sees nothing so she thinks he needs a benadryl. She she tries to get the tiny pill in his mouth but Talker ain't having it; nope not at all -- not wiff cheese, not wiff dog food, nada!
Talker is just really playing up the scene. Mom takes a wet towel and wipes him down and wipes his paws and tries to cool him down, but nope...Talker is acting it up!
I yell at mom, Take him to the VET ;c;
Cuz I know he's faking it. So mom calls up the emergency vet and hauls Talker to the car.
Then Talker is in the car and he's shaking his paw and he's holding it up like it's hurting him big time. He's going for the Oscar now! But the thing is that he doesn't know he's going to the vet cuz mom had to take him to the after hours vet and he's never been there.
So they get inside and suddenly....yeah..just like that, Talker starts walking normal. The he's not panting anymore. The lady vet comes out and gives mom paper work and mom is about to sign him up, but Talker gets all calm and serious about the situation so mom waits. Then she tells the lady she's going to sit and wait for a bit. Then mom takes Talker outside and walks him around the block and Talker is walking and acting all normal CUZ HE FAKED THE WHOLE THING!!!
He realized he was at the vet's office and he cut the act right then and there!
So they came home and now he's all quiet and embarrassed.
Now mom is all mad at Big Daddy cuz she called him three times but he didn't pick up his phone.
That's my tell!

Cleaning the flat, grungy iMac keyboard
without rubbing off the letters. How to?
I'll already hold it upside down to prevent any liquid from entering the keyswitch mechanism.
Use a disinfectant wipe or a damp cloth. I also use those air cans to blow the dust out from under the keys.
Sounds good as long as the letters stay on.:thumbsup:
by letters stay on, do you mean the keys are popping out of the keyboard or that the actual letters are coming off the keys? If they pop out you can pop them back in place pretty easily, and the letters shouldn't come off from cleaning.
Though, a bunch of keys popping off is not a good thing either. Maybe I should take a digital pic of the upright keyboard before I do this.

text: I changed my oil with 5w30. My mechanic said it's good for the winter months. I understand viscosity when hot and cold but it still seems kind of thin to me. I have a 1.8 gasser in the caddy that was swapped at some point. I know it's a 1.8 because the engine code under the 3rd and 4th spark plug begins with jh. I don't know the exact year or model it's from. I'll drive it a few times a week to work this falll but won't drive much this winter. I also thought older engines require thicker oil. Thanks.
