Ok, so here's the deal
I've been going over the options 28-105 vs 28-135, going back and forth. I finallly figured IS would be more useful on a tele. Looked at the 70-300 IS. Love it so far, except the vertical problem, which I will just have to test my copy for. So thought about combining this lens with the 28-105 and felt pretty happy (got a financial break this week which means I could buy the 70-300). The filter size is also the same.
Then I read someone saying something about the 24-85, slightly wider, 100 euro more, pretty much the same optically and build-wise, but strange filter size. Is the wide worth it, I thought? Discusses it with my dad, he asked if there was any alternative. I said, well the 17-85, but that's 550 euro! And I've heard mixed reports about it. Looked into it more and more and it's still mixed though there are plenty of happy owners too. Edit: just too much bad in terms of price quality to justify, taking this one out (that's one down...)
The downside of the 28-105 is that the delivery time is unknown, which could mean months, while the 24-85 and 17-85 are both in stock. Which means I could settle this in two weeks (when I'm gonna be near the store) with one of the latter two. On the other hand I've sort of become partial to the 28-105 because it just seems solid in quality (not much variation), combined with cost and filter size. It's just sacrificing wide angle. And I'm not too fond of the idea of yet another lens to fill that up, not just because of the hassle but also dust issues. I just can't estimate right now what the wide angle would mean to me.
Long story short:
28-105 f/3.5-4.5? (222 euro)
24-85 f/3.5-4.5? (319 euro)
17-85 IS f/4-5.6? (549 euro) Out, see below
Combining this lens with the 70-300 IS f/4-5.6
Perhaps get the 18-55 secondhand for 50-70 euros as a backup for wide?

Postcard - Indian Health Care
Dear Friends,
Thursday was one of those busy days when you feel like you are playing laser tag at Hinkle Family Fun Center.
We were analyzing the impact of an unprecedented $650-million-dollar budget cut at Los Alamos and Sandia, pushing the Homeland Security Department to go ahead with a decision to suspend the requirement to have a passport until they process the backlog over at State, sending a letter to the President on an intensified diplomatic process in Iraq and trying to get the VA together with the City of Santa Fe to transfer land to expand the National Cemetary.
I like busy days. But in the midst of the movement, we were doing something important for Indian Country. And there is a difference between the urgent and the important.
We had a hearing today on the Health subcommittee I serve on about the Indian Healthcare Improvement Act. Ken Lucero from Zia Pueblo testified and he did a great job. His Dad, former Governor Gilbert Lucero came too.
I have gotten to know Ken over the years as I've worked on Indian health issues. He is one of those quiet people who has important things to say. He's worth listening to.
I feel more confident than ever that we will get a bill on Indian Healthcare through the House this year.
In the midst of the commotion of a busy day, Ken's quiet wisdom came through loud and clear.
Wish you were here,

I have been meaning to post these since I saw them at the Global Pet Expo earlier this year. Most pet drinking fountains are made of plastic, which can be difficult to keep clean, causing feline acne to develop in some cats. Remember my post about poor Mackenzie with his feline acne? I had to get rid of all plastic bowls and drinking fountains and switch to stainless steel and ceramic, which are both much easier to keep clean.
That's why I'm so excited about these two new pet drinking fountains from Pioneer Pet! Not only do they come in your choice of stainless steelor ceramic, but they are very easy to clean. Some of the other fountains I've tried have all sorts of little parts and they are difficult to take apart, making cleaning a big hassle. And if you don't clean your drinking fountain regularly, that's when the acne-causing bacteria start to grow. Ick!
This sleek little design not only looks good, but it only has a few parts that are easy to remove and clean. The fountain will keep water flowing, which is attractive to cats and encourages them to drink more. These fountains also have a replaceable charcoal filter to keep water fresh and they can both go in the dishwasher.
Both are available from Amazon. Stainless steel is $57.95 and ceramic $47.75.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/9/2013 (1391 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It all started with a crash.
In early May, I was at Castello di Casole, a gorgeous, hilly estate in Tuscany, Italy, with a group of journalists. On our first full day at the property, we ventured to the estate's main building to pick up our rented Vespas. The plan: to take our scooters up to Montefioralle Castle, a picturesque village nearby. My mission: to not kill myself on my first Vespa ride.
I'll save you the drama: I did not kill myself, but I lasted only 10 seconds. After gunning the Vespa and zipping out of the little shed where it was housed -- which was on gravel, I might add -- I slammed on the brakes, effectively crashing my Vespa into the rocks while simultaneously jumping off the bike. I was bruised, the scooter was dented. My Vespa-driving dreams were dashed.
After my crash -- which earned me the nickname Crash Mayhem for the duration of the trip -- the poor scooter was relegated to the shed. My three-day Vespa rental had cost me 20 euros ($27 Cdn) per second. Sunk cost, I thought; better than a busted head. And so I found myself on the back of photographer Paul Alexander's bike for our ride through the hills.
I'm happy to report that Tuscany -- from any which way you ride the scooter -- is spectacular, especially when you're staying at a stunning private Exclusive Resorts residence (exclusiveresorts.com).
Exclusive, a company that offers its roughly 3,500 members access to 350 homes in more than 70 destinations around the world, had invited us to experience Italy their way, which is to say pampered.
I was eager to see what it's like to stay not in a hotel, but in a large private home with an infinity pool, its own pizza "forno" oven and an on-site concierge.
In May, Exclusive Resorts launched a new membership package tailored to Canadians. Members pay a one-time fee of $215,000, plus annual dues of approximately $22,000, for 20 days of travel that include Canadian Thanksgiving and spring break.
Which brings us back to Tuscany and our group's adventures. Home base was our stunning four-bedroom house -- just one of many private residences on the estate. Upon arrival, our kitchen was stocked with wine, coffee and some of our favourite foods. Prior to the trip, I had mentioned my allergy to some nuts to the Exclusive ambassador who called me to discuss my likes and dislikes. This is the standard service for all members; ambassadors cover everything from trip details to custom-planned adventures. I said I was able to eat peanut butter, not wanting to cause a fuss.
In the cupboard of our large, gorgeous kitchen was my own jar of peanut butter, plus food products labelled as nut-free or not. The incredible service continued throughout the week, with lovely Italian women coming over in the evenings to show us how to make ravioli, pizza and more.
Our days were spent poolside or taking day trips to nearby cities such as Siena and Florence. Coming back every night to our very own house in the hills was like coming home to heaven. The fact we were travelling by van -- Vespas parked safely in the shed -- made it all the better for this weary scooter traveller.

Did anybody who works at the White House attend the funerals of Gen. Harold Greene or Ambassador Chris Stevens?
Here's why I'm asking…
SecDef Chuck Hagel attended the funeral of the highest ranking active member of the military to be killed since 1970, Maj. Gen. Harold Greene. In 2012, nobody from the White House attended the San Francisco memorial service for Chris Stevens, who was the first U.S. ambassador in 30 years assassinated on the job.
To repeat: As far as I can tell, nobody from the White House — as in "a direct representative of the president who works at the White House" — attended either of those funerals.
Three White House officials will attend Michael Brown's funeral Monday on behalf of the Obama administration, a White House official told NBC News.
Assistant to the President and White House Cabinet Secretary Broderick Johnson, Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement Marlon Marshall and Heather Foster, an advisor to the public engagement office will be at the ceremony for the unarmed teenager who was shot dead by a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer on Aug. 9, sparking days of unrest in the St. Louis suburb.
Brown's funeral will be at 10 a.m. local time at Friendly Temple Missionary Church in St. Louis.
Political priorities.

Well what do you expect, Amb Stevens and Gen Greene were not part of Eric Holder's people, Michael Brown very much was. Need I say more?

"Whatever the outcome, though, murder — including homicide caused by a policeman's application of excessive force — is generally not a federal crime. It is a concern of *state law*." ( emphasis mine )
And does one really need be an 'attorney' for this to be apparent. OBVIOUS even? Especially considering we're so EARLY in the process. Where's the case against the cop here, that he drove miles outside his jurisdiction from his normal all-white assigned patrol area!? Presumably to shoot the nearest black dude he could find! Randomly from his patrol car window..?

OT but last night catching the BOC/BTO show down in Albany, OR ( they're starting to have better acts than many of the upscale venues btw ) some Lib-clown was running his mouth about how The Evil Koch Brothers deprived him of his employment after 23 years of loyal service at Georgia Pacific!
You'd think anyone that's been around that ind. that long would know how highly *commoditized* it freaking IS? Everyone knows your cost basis ( see Philadelphia Paper Exchange for spot pricing ) and this sector is highly leveraged! Dude, get a clue ( even the chair you're sitting in is leased! )
You could even say the KB's extended his employment BY the three years since their acquisition! Other than that, great show.

Good to see the National 'Science' Foundation's universal *beat down* for their comical abuse of grant money to police Twitter for "hate speech". Personally I thought the ruse more in alignment w/ "PolitiFact"/Snopes where cherry picking & semantics are the order of the day.
Others likened it to Attack Watch! Beginning to think all this blather about "complex algorithms" is just THAT; total BS. Another condescending way to say "it's totally over your HEADS you rubes…"".
I believe all that has ever taken place is your basic online surveillance where your email gets hacked, blog posts are tracked and identity gets JACKED. There's nothing magic going on, and certainly nothing that merits burning a million $ taxpayer-funded grant.

Possible scenario; open to feedback:
No doubt these are painfully DARK times; but what I believe I'm seeing shape up has an infinitely greater possibility of taking place than O'Drama's wet dream of an ISIS flag flying over the WH:
Enough Dims becomes DEMS, throwing off the mind control act and getting BACK to their former mainstream! If not outright switching parties, certainly VOTING in kind and/or eschewing the label of rubber stamp. Waking up to the fact cr@pping on squad cars isn't a domestic policy and realizing O'Drama can't protect them 24/7 in their own districts.

I think it is more likely that we could see the emergence of a third and possibly a fourth party. If this happens, I figure after a couple of election cycles the Dems and the GOP will cease to exist.
The average dem is waking up to the fact that their party has been hijacked by the far left; yet they are not willing to join the GOP as the media has demonized the GOP while the GOP has done little to dissuade that image. This is why you have so many dems call themselves independents, they dont like either party.
Truesoldier__ on
August 26th, 2014 1:41 pm
As for the GOP, this could be their last stand. If the GOP wins the Senate, Conservatives will expect them to act. If they choose either to continue to make excuses (i.e. go from we only control 1/2 of 1/3 to we only control 1/3) or if they continue to cozy up to the amnesty crowd (i.e. dear leader, Chamber of Crony Capitalism, La Raza, etc) then Conservatives will leave the party in droves. This could also happen if the GOP fails to win the Senate as it has pretty much been gift wrapped for the taking. If this happens, Conservatives will form their own party and as they start to win more and more elections (which could happen quicker if the dem party also fractures) you will see the GOP fade into history.
Marshall_Will on
August 26th, 2014 1:48 pm
Agreed. Let The Great Fracturing BEGIN..! "Chamber of Crony Capitalism" ( SO stealing that! ) Lol
Yeah, I mean, because they refused to bow to the will of the people, inflexible and totally entrenched/committed. Because there was never any substantive DEBATE over the obvious failings of the Electoral College system.., we'll just do it THIS way!
Marshall_Will on
August 26th, 2014 1:53 pm
Larry Sabato talked about "where's the wave?" just yesterday on Drudge and it looks like ( and even he admits it's still early ) but GOP cand's don't appear to be pulling away from their Dim contenders in the polls or are just barely leading…
Kind of like ROMNEY did all thru the Summer of 2012!? Personally, I believe we'll TAKE the Senate but as you noted above; probably a quick victory lap, kudos & congrats, then RIGHT back to biz as usual. Like Scott Brown, THEY in turn will get dumped and the REAL transformation can begin. Great analysis btw.
Marshall_Will on
August 26th, 2014 2:16 pm
To follow on; it should be apparent that a mass defection among Dims is infinitely more imperative and many likely WOULD, except for those darned dark pools of Endless Cash their handlers keep dangling in front of them.
I have no doubt virtually every Dim has expressed some to great levels of concern only to be told they're disposable/along for the ride/interchangeable. The same leverage used *against* them to pass O'Scare. But that only holds for so long…

The "Chamber of Crony Capitalism" is Mark Levin's and I so stole that from him.
Truesoldier__ on
August 26th, 2014 3:07 pm
So very true. I think the turning point is that many blue collar dems are feeling the impact of the lib economic policies and are none to happy. That enough is close to pushing them over the edge, but what I believe could be the true turning point is if dear leader goes through with his threat to legalize 5+ million illegals. The polling data on that front has been hovering right around 75% of all voters are not happy with the idea of having to compete for jobs with newly legalized illegals. Once the mass layoffs in favor of hiring newly legalized illegals at half the hourly wages (or having to take a massive pay cut to keep their job) occurs we could see the wave that Larry Sabato has pointed out is not there yet.

MLB notebook: Report: A-Rod could get deal to avoid lifetime ban
• According to a report by the New York Daily News, the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez is facing a lifetime ban from Major League Baseball because of what is reportedly "voluminous evidence" in connection to the Biogenesis scandal. MLB is, however, offering a deal. If A-Rod doesn't fight a suspension, he'll be suspended for the rest of this season and all of next season. That would mean he could return to the Yankees in 2015. The report indicates MLB wants to hear back from A-Rod on the matter by Monday. Suspensions are without pay, so if A-Rod rejects the deal and MLB suspends him for the rest of his career, he misses out on more than $100 million.
• Tino Martinez resigned as the Marlins' hitting coach hours after complaints by players that he verbally abused them became public. Martinez was in his first year as a professional coach. He was in the dugout for Sunday's 3-2 win over the Pirates then met with Marlins officials and resigned.
• Angels slugger Albert Pujols was put on the disabled list Sunday with a tear in his left foot that could end his season. Manager Mike Scioscia said the star will be sidelined for "a significant amount of time." Pujols has a partially torn plantar fascia, an injury that has bothered him most of the season.
• Braves right-hander Brandon Beachy will make his first start in more than a year Monday night against Colorado as he completes his comeback from elbow surgery. Beachy was 5-5, led the NL with a 2.00 ERA, and appeared bound for an All-Star appearance when his 2012 season ended after 13 starts.

Ermanno Scervino Menswear SS14
The designer delves into denim and surface treatments
- TextSusanne Madsen
The walls at Ermanno Scervino were lined with portraits of Marcello Mastroianni, John F. Kennedy, Marlon Brando and Steve McQueen, and on the runway, the mix of sartorial icons was reflected in a narrative of formal versus casual. Much of the story unfolded on the surface of things, in coated olive green fabrics or glossy black bombers in exotic skins, and Scervino turned his attention to denim to explore both smart and laid-back codes of dress, from sky blue denim suiting with lapels in contrast wash to waxed jeans, all set within the designer's framework of clean shapes and modern classics.

Englishman Andy Atkinson, given the task to work on the pitches for the entire series, denied he had any specific instructions to make fast pitches for the high-profile series.
"Although I have talked to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials, there are no specific instructions from anyone. All pitches would definitely be sporting pitches which would give equal chance to batsmen and bowlers," said the 48-year-old Atkinson.
"Pitches should not support just one team, it should have bounce and pace initially, help the batsmen as well and deteriorate to help spinners towards the end," he said.
The former Essex curator is also an advisor on pitches to the International Cricket Council (ICC) and was in Dhaka for the ICC Junior World Cup as a supervisor.
The Indian team will arrive in Pakistan on Wednesday to play five One-day games and three Tests on their 40-day tour that is their first of Pakistan in 15 years. The first of five One-day games is scheduled in Karachi on Saturday.
Pitches in Pakistan have drawn criticism over the time for their slow and dull nature and it was at the insistence of the then captain Rashid Latif, incumbent coach Javed Miandad and other former players that PCB sought Atkinson's help in 2002.
Atkinson was re-hired recently for the series against South Africa and he produced some good pitches in Lahore and Faislabad for the two-match Test series. The hosts beat South Africa 1-0 with express bowler Shoaib Akhtar rocking them in the first Test in Lahore.
Praising the pitch at Faislabad, he said it was the best in Pakistan. "I think the Faislabad pitch is the best," said the curator but refused to say why no match was scheduled in Faislabad.
"The pitch in Rawalpindi is also very good and the one at Multan is lighter because it is a new. At other venues the pitches have improved a lot over the last few years after being re-laid," he said.
"I have read people billing this series as a battle between Pakistani bowlers and Indian batsmen which is a fair assessment because these areas are strong for both the teams. I think it would be a highly exciting series," said Atkinson who worked in South Africa and for Essex from 1993 to 2001.
"I have worked in South Africa for eight years and am now here to make pitches for producing quality cricket, but there are no specific targets of making fast tracks to support the home team," he said.
"I came here two years ago, soil has no problem, may be, the way the pitches are made here is a problem. The conditions are much similar to South Africa, the clay content is the same and grass is of the same quality," said Atkinson adding the whole idea had been to make consistent pitches in Pakistan.
Reacting to former Australian captain Steve Waugh's call for uniform pitches in the world two years ago, he said, it is impossible to have uniform pitches all over the world because atmospheric conditions are different and making uniform pitches would be detrimental to world cricket."

Welcome To
Neelkanth Hospital
NEELKANTH HOSPITAL has grown exponentially since it was founded in 2001
as an brainchild of Dr Himanshu Garg and Dr Bindu Garg. Both of them had
prior experience of running Hospitals successfully. Dr Himanshu Garg is one
of the leading physicians of North India and Dr Bindu Garg is one of the
best infertility specialists. They conceived the idea of a hospital
dedicated to the people of Gurgaon when there were very few hospitals in the
vicinity. Today Neelkanth Hospital is one of the Leading Multi Super
Specialty Hospitals in NCR. Our motto "is to provide the best of health
services in a caring environment''. Since '' we have the experience'' we are
placed in an unrivalled position as it is the experience that counts in the
field of health sciences. We are also aware of our social responsibilities
and have therefore joined hands with a number of NGO's working towards the
development of the weaker sections of society.
NEELKANTH HOSPITAL is one of the best IVF / test tube baby centre and
surrogacy centre in India where patients from India and abroad come for IVF
treatments and Surrogacy. Besides giving Gurgaon its First IVF baby in 2003
itself, it is providing IVF training to Doctors from India & abroad through
training arm " Neelkanth Institute of Reproductive Sciences ".
Department of Reproductive Sciences at Neelkanth Hospital is headed
by Dr Bindu Garg, Co founder of Neelkanth Group of Hospitals and one the the
best infertility/ivf specialists in India, along with Dr Himanshu Garg who
is one if the leading physicians in North India. Dr Bindu Garg is Post
Graduate in Reproductive Sciences from MONASH University, Australia under
the expert guidance of Dr Allen Trousen (an ICON in field of IVF). She has
more than 25 years experience in this field and has brought a smile on
thousands of faces through her specialized knowledge and procedures.
Dr Bindu Garg gave Gurgaon its first test tube baby in 2003 and is a beacon
of light for childless couples from India and abroad. She has to her credit
more than 5000 successful IVF Procedures which is one of the highest in
North India.
IVF in India or Infertility treatment in India compared to other countries
is cost effective and the patients get the best of treatment and care. This
is the reason why medican tourism into India on account of infertility
treatment is on the rise.
It is important to note that there is a serious shortfall of doctors who
specialise into Reproductive Sciences and that is the main reason why the
benefits of Assisted Reproductive Technique (ART) can't be reaped by a vast
majority of our population.
Neelkanth Institute of Reproductive Sciences (NRIS) is a STEP in
imparting the doctors specalised knowledge in IVF, to enable them to help
childless couples in places far and wide, and every corner of India and
abroad. Being a leading IVF Centre which does one of the maximum IVF Cycles
in India , doctors who come to train with us get hands on experience which
is rare in the sense that most of the IVF Institutes in India are not
running IVF Centres. So the Doctors who train in these institutes only get a
theoretical knowledge. Our mission is to ensure that the best of treatment
is available to every childless couple through the doctors trained by us.
NIRS is one of the leading Infertility & laparoscopy training institutes in
Dr Bindu Garg (Head
Dept of Reproductive Sciences) gave Gurgaon its First Test
Tube Baby in 2003.
Our Medicine Department is manned by two of the leading physicians in North India.
Dr. Vikram B Kaushik, MS, MCh(Urology) having vast experience is our chief Urologist.
We are pioneers
in NCR into all kinds of Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery
We are equipped
with all the latest techniques & facilities to handle all
sort of cardiological ailments.
This department
was unveiled recently on our 6th anniversary
Neelkanth hospital
has handled the maximum trauma & accident related cases in
We believe that for a Hospital to be proactive, a world class laboratory is required.

We're impressed with the efforts Asus has gone to with the VG278H's bezel. It's rare to get a height-adjustable panel outside of IPS screens, which is madness because it's a feature that everyone welcomes.
The panel surround does look a bit cheap and flimsy for a monitor costing over £500 (or $650 in the US), though.
The screen itself is an LED-backlit 27-inch TN, and as such image quality is a mixed bag.
It suffered gradient banding from white to black in our tests, displaying striped shades instead of smooth transitions. The viewing angle is also poor – and there's some serious colour distortion at wider angles.
But then there's LightBoost.
In 2D mode it doesn't count for much, but this screen (paired with Nvidia's new specs) produced the first truly clear, deep, colourful and frankly jaw-dropping 3D experience we've seen. And mostly thanks to that increased brightness .
Close-up objects don't appear to be painted on your eyeballs, and the middle ground doesn't look like a pop-up book, which is genuinely refreshing.
For the first time, we actually enjoyed the 3D experience. Who'd have thought something that sounded so much like marketing codswallop would actually be really good?
As a gaming monitor, this is top-notch.
If you're going to be the only one watching it, the viewing angle isn't much of an issue and it's plenty big enough. It will become a problem if you try to get two or more people involved, though, so be warned.
We liked
We're genuinely impressed by the 3D experience on offer from the Asus VG278H 3D PC monitor. The 3D Vision 2 glasses supplied team up with LightBoost to deliver better depth and image clarity than we've seen before in a 3D screen.
We disliked
The tradeoff for nippy 120 Hz computer screens is often image quality, and this monitor's no exception. Don't expect a professional-quality colour palette or brilliant viewing angles - this screen's purely about the 3D.
Final verdict
Factoring in the premium for the new LightBoost tech and LED backlighting, the £120 glasses thrown in, and the 27 inches of panel, the Asus VG278H certainly isn't a rip-off. For 3D lovers, this is a must-have, and for sceptics this could be a game-changer.

In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery
By Rev. Alexander G. Lecky, B.A. Published 1908, 148 pages
In the Preface, Rev. Leck writes "these everyday transactions gives us a clearer picture of some phases of the social and religious life of by-gone times than would a record of the more important events with which the historian deals."
The writer gleans a great volume of important information from the Minutes of the Laggan Presbytery including its origin, the division of the Presbytery, its subsequent re-unification which is followed by the re-division into three Presbyteries. He also discusses travel problems in the area and congregational disputes which include those between Strabane and Donagheady as well as Urney and Letterkenny.
The book includes transcriptions of the wills of Rev. Robert Cunningham, Mrs. Frances Cunningham and Rev. Hugh Cunningham; the names of the ministers of the Laggan Presbytery; and the names of those attending Presbytery meetings from 1672-1700 as Ruling Elders and Commissioners.

Wooster slipped slightly on Day 2, tallying a 322 for a final mark of 628, while the host Tigers pulled away for the championship with a 591.Noteworthy, the Scots were 14 strokes better than fellow North Coast Athletic Conference school Wabash College (642).

Ideally, a company's employee handbook lays the groundwork for the employer-employee relationship, spells out what is expected of employees and serves many purposes that are critical to sustaining a company's business.
It can serve as the first line of defense even before a lawsuit arises. That's why an employee handbook should be considered a "living document" that responds to changes in the law, a company's business or industry and workplace trends.
Unfortunately, many companies fail to align their handbooks with the realities of their business. As a result, they end up with a handbook that does more harm than good.
What handbooks should include
A well-drafted handbook keeps pace with changes in the law, workplace demographics, technology and the manner in which employees and employers interact.
For example, technology advances and remote workforces have prompted many co...(register to read more)

Back to school...safely
Wednesday, Sep 03, 2014 06:00 am
The kids were back in school Tuesday, marking the beginning of what might be called the New Year�s Day of the family fiscal year. It�s the day when running a family really begins. First there�s school and then the rollout of subsequent extra-curricular activities such as hockey, figure skating, piano lessons and Brownies.
All parents know the routine and looking at the demands that will be placed upon them in the coming year the view can be daunting. Consider, for a moment, the early mornings, the after school dashes to lessons, Sunday morning hockey practices and games, Saturday afternoon play dates, packed sandwiches, and hours upon hours in the SUV, no matter how deep the snow may get.
Add to this list all of the other things families have to do, like soon cobbling costumes together for Halloween, Christmas shopping, report cards and the not-so-small matter of juggling all of this with a job. It all begins to look formidable � much like standing at the bottom of Mount Everest and looking up.
But then, you have to take a step back and wonder why you do it. Some say happiness is achieved in doing the small things. In life, it is the journey that matters more that the goal. If you don�t believe us, take a peek at your little ones tucked into bed tonight. Slow down once in a while and enjoy.
Parents, we take our hats off to you, and remember, it is only 10 months to the next summer holiday.
Sneaky devils
Who among us has not received a photo radar speeding ticket while driving on the Anthony Henday, past the Ray Gibbon overpass?
And, who among us doesn�t speed � there � anymore?
Photo radar is a tax, plain and simple. It does not prevent speeding any more than Smoky the Bear prevents forest fires. All it does is teach us not to speed where the cops� favourite photo radar haunts are.
The white pick-up truck sits on top of the Ray Gibbon overpass, on the east side, zapping speeders travelling east on the Henday. Sneaky little devils, aren�t they? Motorists will get nabbed once, but they won�t make that mistake � there � again.
This may be written with a certain degree of levity, but speeding is a serious issue. We hear of idiots screaming down the freeway doing in excess of 160 km per hour. Those people pose a serious risk to others who share the road. They should lose their licence and face criminal charges. Photo radar, however, does not take into account common sense.
There�s a reason the white pick-up truck is sitting there. The traffic flow below quite often is in excess of 100 km per hour. Why? A lot of traffic clears the Henday before Ray Gibbon, exiting onto the Whitemud, Highway 16A and the Yellowhead. With significantly less traffic and three lanes to choose from, the traffic is intuitively going to flow faster.
Is 110 km-120 km per hour an unacceptable rate of speed at this location? Common sense dictates no, but the photo radar machine is indifferent. So, drivers, use counter-common sense when travelling under the Ray Gibbon Drive overpass.

Four German shepherds and their police officer handlers complete a 13-week training course on Friday.
The dogs have been trained for general purpose duties, which include tracking offenders, searching for missing people and recovering stolen property.
They will join the 36 other handlers and 57 other dogs in the force and will be used across the area.
'Constant thinking'
Pc Colin Harper, from Exeter, will graduate with nine-month-old Raven after he decided to switch from normal police duties to become a dog handler.
He said: "Working with a police dog enables you to catch people that others can't.
"There is no other job like it. It involves constant thinking and learning. As a dog handler, you still perform all the functions of a patrol constable, only with a dog in the back of your car."
Dog Section Inspector Tony Jordan said: "They will join the other handlers and other dogs in the force and together become vital assets to policing force-wide.
"Together they will be a valuable addition to the force and extremely useful tools in the fight against crime."

Listen to This Amazing Cover of Johnny Cash's 'Ring of Fire' – [VIDEO]
Subscribe to Mix 97.9 FM on
This is a great cover of a classic from Johnny Cash featuring Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix!
This video of a group around a campfire is the perfect setting for Cash's 'Ring of Fire', but not many people know the spiritual dimensions of the old country song.
Although "Ring of Fire" sounds somewhat ominous, the term refers to falling in love – which is what June Carterwas experiencing with Johnny Cash at the time. Some sources claim that Carter had seen the phrase "Love is like a burning ring of fire," underlined in one of her uncle A. P. Carter's Elizabethan books of poetry.[2][3] She worked with Kilgore on writing a song inspired by this phrase as she had seen her uncle do in the past. She had written: "There is no way to be in that kind of hell, no way to extinguish a flame that burns, burns, burns".[4]
Cash's first wife, Vivian Liberto, offers a different conception of "Ring of Fire" in her book I Walked the Line. She contends that June Carter Cash was not a co-writer of the song: "To this day, it confounds me to hear the elaborate details June told of writing that song for Johnny. She didn't write that song any more than I did. The truth is, Johnny wrote that song, while pilled up and drunk, about a certain private female body part. All those years of her claiming she wrote it herself, and she probably never knew what the song was really about." Liberto claims that Cash decided to give Carter co-writer status because "She needs the money".[5]
The song was originally recorded by June's sister, Anita Carter, on her Mercury Records album Folk Songs Old and New (1963) as "(Love's) Ring of Fire". Mercury released Anita's version as a single and it was a featured "pick hit" in Billboard magazine.
After hearing Anita's version, Cash claimed he had a dream where he heard the song accompanied by "Mexican horns". Cash stated, "I'll give you about five or six more months, and if you don't hit with it, I'm gonna record it the way I feel it."[citation needed] Cash noted that adding trumpets was a change to his basic sound.[6]
When the song failed to become a major hit for Anita, Cash recorded it his own way, adding the mariachi-style horns. This sound was later used in the song "It Ain't Me Babe", which was recorded around the same time. Mother Maybelle and the Carter sisters are prominently featured in the Cash recording singing harmony. Cash tinkered with a few of the original phrases in Anita Carter's version of the song.
Cash's daughter Rosanne has stated, "The song is about the transformative power of love and that's what it has always meant to me and that's what it will always mean to the Cash children."[7] – Wiki

So how much does Paul McCartney get for his performance in Friday's opening ceremony at the London Olympics?
McCartney was filled with excitement after his set, which might have made up for any payment. "It was a trip and very exciting," he tweeted later that night. "It was a great opening ceremony!"
London Olympic organizers tell the Associated Press that the former Beatle and other famous acts who participated basically "donated their time — receiving a mere pound ($1.57) — for their performances." And that nominal fee was offered to make the Olympics contracts binding.

The Fabric Warehouse
25 Hutt Road, Thorndon/Pipitea Wellington
What it is:
One of Wellington's better fabric stores. FW stocks fabric (new season ranges, classic fabrics, and theatre and dance fabric), a fantastic selection of trims, buttons, and some notions. FW does not carry patterns, nor do they carry as many quilting prints as Spotlight or Arthur Toye (review coming soon).
I love the colours in that madras plaid off to the right.
What is it about colour coded fabric that is so appealing?
The Good:
The customer service is excellent. The staff know their stuff in terms of fabric, sewing, and design, and if you ask them a particularly obscure question that they don't know the answer to (like if they carry coutil, and if not, what is the closest fabric they have, or where you would get pool table felt), they will look it up.
The staff also know what is in store, so if you need a specific type of fabric or print and don't see it in-store, ask, because they might have just the thing on a top shelf out of sight, in the back room, or in the newest shipment that just came in and hasn't gone on the floor yet.
The staff really will go above and beyond for you. I went in recently looking for one more metre of a specific print (the dots you see below), and they were sold out. I asked, and they recalled that there had been a leftover remnant from the last roll of fabric. It was a busy day (40% off sale, and a Saturday), but they checked all the remnant bins and the back room and a few other places, and spent a good 20 minutes on the search, before finally unearthing a 2 metre length – and selling it to me at half off because it was a remnant. What champions!
That's the fabric I covered my chairs in! And I'm doing curtains for the kitchen in the spots!
FW has a strong link with the professional costuming community (including the film community) and are known to give discounts to professional costumers.
The Bad:
Not bad so much as "not as good as other places". I find their silk selection uninspiring. It's adequate, but I've yet to see a silk there that I found the need to buy.
I admit, the orange and green striped silk shantung is pretty special.
Also, I know from experience that all things labelled silk at FW are not silk, but I don't think this is their fault – I bet the mis-labeling comes from the manufacturers and it happens at a lot of fabric stores and FW are one of the few honest enough to do burn tests if you (or they) are unsure. So this goes in the "bad but inevitable and they do their best to correct it" pile.
Parking is also a little hard – it's a funny driveway off Old Hutt Road, and getting back on to the road and facing the direction you want at certain times of day can be very tricky (of course, getting out of Spotlight, which is just down the road, is even worse). Sometimes I find it helpful to park on the opposite side of the road, brave traffic to cross the road, and shop that way.
The Ugly:
FW does feel a bit dusty and grubby, and the rolls of fabric piles high on racks can be a bit daunting and hard to handle and look through if you aren't built like a rugby player (huge and muscly). On the bright side, the dusty and grub are all clean honest dust and grub – so you end up a little dirty but (unlike Spotlight) without the worry of all the infectious diseases you might have caught from the germs.
The obsessive perfectionist in me is having a little breakdown every time I look at this photo.
The Verdict:
Not as romantic as other stores that I have and will review, but a practical and indispensible resource for the costumer and anyone else who loves fabric.
It's worth knowing that FW's prices for most fabric are better than Spotlights, often by quite a lot if you consider the quality of the fabric. I would always make them my first stop if looking for simple cottons for garments or home furnishing or backing quilts, or for high-quality wool or bamboo and cotton quilt batting, or for the sort of bright synthetic fabric which I never use but which show up in theatre attire and Halloween costumes all the time. In fact, they should probably be your first stop for anything except silks and quilting prints – hows that for a commendation!
As a final tip, sign up to FW's e-mail list to be sure you get notifications when they do sales.
This might be the first silk I find myself buying from FW
Aren't the pastel plaids just scrumptious?
I love the 1940s feel of these fabrics – they remind me of an Avis Higgs designs. I did end up buying some of the green that you can barely see in the bottom left corner.

After previous statements referring to her split from husband Paul McCartney as a separation, Heather Mills McCartney is now using the D-word.
"Contrary to recent press reports, Heather Mills McCartney will not be giving any interviews or commenting in relation to her pending divorce from her husband," said a statement issued by Mills' office Sunday June 11th, 2006. And so, the statement released indicated that the pair, Mills and Paul McCartney is "no longer separate but divorce."
Two days later, on Tuesday June 13th, 2006, Mills' lawyer released another statement, marked "urgent," saying that the model planned to sue a British tabloid later on after her divorce had been finalized. This is prompted for her becoming the subject of several unflattering newspaper articles that included pictures of her in naked or semi-naked poses. Naming one of many, it was Britain's News of the World which ran an article that she spent nights with wealthy men when she was in her 20s.
"Heather is very distressed by this article," and so will sue for libel. "She will defer issue of legal proceedings until the arrangements in relation to the divorce are concluded but intends to sue at that stage all parties (including individuals) who are intent on damaging her reputation." said the statement from the law firm of Coyle White Devine.

(76.94 kB) A.Mike Casey, a licensed plumbing and general contractor and ICC-certified building inspector, responds: When it comes to outdoor cooking areas, the IRC is not too specific about clearances, placement, and ventilation requirements for gas appliances except to advise that installations should follow the manufacturer's instructions. Code is also a bit confusing regarding vertical clearance to combustibles above broiler and range units. For example, Section M1901 of the 2006 IRC requires 30 inches of vertical clearance for ranges, while Section M1505 requires a metal exhaust hood above an open-top broiler and at least 24 inches of vertical clearance to combustibles. No distinction is made between interior and exterior installations.Manufacturers may have additional requirements. For example, Viking requires 6 inches of minimum clearance to combustible sidewalls for its built-in gas (propane or natural) outdoor range tops, wok/cookers, and grillers, and specifies that these models can't be placed "under an overhead that is unprotected and combustible."

|Disease was part of how control systems worked.
Missionaries were certainly powerful witches. And just how is it that witchcraft causes smallpox?
One older Indian gave a fur trader on the Missouri his own philosophy on the matter: whites came in, giving new names to things, and capturing things in pictures that had nothing of ceremonial quality. This imitation and abstraction -- these acts of "representation" itself -- violated the natural order and opened the way for disease to enter.
Peasants in Guatemala, possibly acting on cues given them by Catholic priests, accused the liberal government of spreading cholera by poisoning wells. Cholera was in fact spread through contaminated water, once sick travelers had entered an area. The civil authorities of that country were trying to add disinfectants to the water -- at a time when no one had a very good idea what would work to disinfect.
No one in the 1830s offered any exact interpretation of epidemics. No one had yet demonstrated the germ theory of disease. Lacking any micro-explanations, people resorted to the best available, which was some sense for the place of epidemics in the conflicts of religion, class, and race.
Most of the spread of disease from one region to another was carried by migration and commerce. Europeans knew, and had long known, that disease would go with them when they moved from one part of the world to another.Up to that time, epidemic disease was one weapon in the network of controls that the commercial world was trying to cast over other worlds and other peoples. And it did not even have to be wielded by conscious decision.
There were times, such as the 1830s, when the push of speculation and
migration outran any barriers that society could set against contamination.
Growing cities became sinks of poor water supply, through which cholera
could spread. Military units, which were themselves like small cities without
adequate sanitary discipline, moved from one area to another, carrying
disease. Cholera disabled some U.S. units, headed to fight Indians in 1832,
just as it did some Mexican units, headed against conservative rebels in
1833. The result was the outbreak of diseases that, though "infectious,"
were fostered by poverty, crowding, and mobilization. And that included
industrial mobilization as well as military.
Smallpox, which moved in waves and had been fairly quiet for a generation, was also on the rise in this decade. The threat to biological survival was one reason to impose some discipline on the liberal energies at work in politics, and in military life. "Police" was a buzz-word of the period, and that included sanitary police.
Whether in the cities or in the countryside, a world of "mere" commerce was making a drastic shift toward one of urban and military controls. But none of this discipline was yet doing much for public sanitation and water supplies, either in city slums or in the armies of the period.
Nowhere in the world was there the kind of scientific understanding that "all" could accept. Everywhere, even when people agreed that they needed to impose some controls, there was confusion and controversy about what kind of control. Should it be the old controls of church and paternalistic tradition, or should it be some new, post-liberal controls, with bureaucratic regulations to impose limits on commerce and defecation?
All these problems imposed themselves too on the decisions made by famous men.
Andrew Jackson resented the censorious attitudes (toward him) of old-line politicians who supported military values and a disciplined army. Santa Anna had resented the prestige of the more conservative officers who made the transition from the Spanish to the Mexican Army. Both of them, as individuals, were among the outsiders who were riding on the world-wide wave of "liberal" politics at the beginning of the 1830s. But their armies were vulnerable both to the dangers of population movement, and to the dangers of unscientific crowding. Their armies, if they moved out to deal with provincial challenges, would carry with them any epidemic diseases that were circulating through international commerce and bad water supplies. In 1832, that meant cholera.In California, the flight of Indians from the missions probably saved many from a worse disease threat than they had suffered already. When Mexican liberals led by Valentín Gómez Farías moved in 1833 to secularize (finally) the California missions, they did so at the same time that cholera had struck the armies fighting in Mexico's civil war. Neither urban regulation nor army discipline yet included systematic measures for cleaning up the water supplies through which cholera spread. "Urban" discipline in the missions, if backed by no scientific understanding, would have been worse than no help at all.
Jackson discovered it when he tried to react to a problem in the area west of Lake Michigan. When citizens of northern Illinois were frightened by a migrating band of Indians, under their chief Black Hawk, Jackson decided to help out the poor locals by sending in army units under General Winfield Scott. On their way to the scene of the "campaign," the troops discovered that they were carrying cholera. His little army was itself a moving city, with its own bad sanitation. Many died, and Scott had to keep the rest away from the civilian population. They never made it into battle. Instead, soldiers already in the area had to depend on help from state militia in their campaign to push Black Hawk back away from the white settlements. This was the balance that existed between state and national force in late 1832, at the time when Jackson put Scott in charge of Army arrangements in the confrontation with South Carolina.
Santa Anna discovered the problem when he tried to move against conservative rebels in Guanajuato.
Peoples engaged in civil war did it, whenever they declined to throw
larger, compact coalition armies into the fray. Large-scale civil
wars would not be "safe," at least not until governments made some stab
at scientific sanitary measures.
The long-term strain, between two types of disease horizon, applied also to the Missouri Country and the Plains.
The Mandan-Hidatsa villages, which had been centers of trade long before Europeans entered the Plains, were now receiving white traders and outside influences coming up from St. Louis. In the same area, and very much in competition, the Lakotas wanted to control trade along more direct east-west lines, and resented the "middle-man" position of the villages. There the decision came quickly, in 1837.
The annual steamboat came up the Missouri River, with trade goods and supplies. A steamboat was itself a small town, with all the vulnerabilities of city life. One of the workers on the boat came down sick. The captain had his voyage to make. At first he would not believe that the illness was smallpox. When he had to admit that he knew, he kept going anyway, to do business at the villages, only sending messages ahead to warn those Indians out hunting, whether they were Lakotas or Mandans, not to come in from the plains. The infection swept through the Mandans, who had not been exposed to it for many years. All but about 200 died. The remainder tried to recoup, but at a time when Lakota attacks were continuing.
Villages afire, on the bluffs over the Missouri River, marked the end of an old local people, caught between the "conservative" mobility of the plains nomads and the "liberal" mobility of the white traders.
