I'm starting to think adulthood is overrated. Maybe I'll just stick with adolescence forever.
dillpicklechip, that's CRAZY!!!! welders are in high demand all over canada and making boatloads of money. my best friend welds 3 - 6 months of the year and takes the rest of the year off, every year. she loves it. she gets short, superhigh paying contracts in bc and alberta, works for exactly as long as she has to, then goes home to her babies and husband. why on earth don't you move to a place where welders are in demand? there's no need for a welder in north america to be at all impoverished.
i hope something much better comes and lands in your laps mighty soon.
♥ blogger astrologer mom to three cool kiddos, and trying to figure out this divorce thing-- Blossom and Glow ♥
Hi everyone. Just wanted to offer my support. We were there.
I remember the sinking feeling of realizing we couldn't afford to live in our cheap little apartment anymore-- that we would have to move in with dh's parents. I don't know what we would have done otherwise. And then the feeling that we would never get out. : I would tell our story but what's the point? I don't want to relive it. It was rough. Very humbling to say the least.
Anyway. DH finally got a good job, a really good job. It started out as temporary work but it gave him the chance to prove himself-- that's all he needed, someone giving him a chance-- and he was quickly made permanent and since then-- within one year-- he has been given two raises already and will be getting another raise soon. : Now we finally have cellphones-- us!-- and we are buying a second car-- it's only a $500 car but still-- I feel so blessed at our good fortune I don't know what to do sometimes. We are really making a lot of money now, compared to where we were, and it is weird to have health insurance and dental insurance and be putting away money towards a 401k. : But of course we are still dealing with the ramifications of our past misfortune. It has taken us this whole year to catch up on our bills and pay off poart of our credit card debt, and the rest of our credit card debt will be paid off this year. Oh and there are medical bills to pay off too. And of course we are still trying to ressurect our credit. So it will take us a while to "catch up".
But I just wanted to say, I know where you guys are coming from, at least on some level, and so I can understand. I know it might feel like you will be "stuck" forever but don't let yourself think that way. I don't want to say "things will get better" because what do I know? But at least in my case, they did, so I hope perhaps I can offer a little hope. If not then I certainly hope I don't offend.
Love to everyone.
I'm starting to think adulthood is overrated. Maybe I'll just stick with adolescence forever.
I know all you mamas understand that feeling of looking far down the road of your life, and thinking "My god, 10, 20, 30 years from now we're STILL going to be wondering how to pay for groceries..." There just doesn't seem to be any way out.
|Thank you, I have been doing the "things will never get better" thing way to much lately I don't want to think like that but it's so hard not to.
I hate feeling this way, it's so frustrating. Most of our friends have houses and good jobs and real adult lives, and I feel so left behind. The world has moved on, but we haven't moved on with it.
|and we decided I am definitely going back to school. Not how I wanted--I didn't want to do one of the online degree programs, but it is better than not going at all.

Jean and Derek Randall were found dead in their home in Northampton by police as Britain was gripped by the coldest winter in 30 years.
Sally Keeble, the pensioners' MP, has now called for an inquiry claiming "major failures" led to the couple being neglected by care workers.
Mr Randall, 76, had been trying to get his wife, 79, into a care home after realising that his own flagging health left him incapable of caring for her.
Neighbours claimed they repeatedly contacted the county council, NHS staff and charities for over a month about the couple's plight, but their warnings were allegedly never acted on.
The pair may have been dead for up to five days before officers forced their way into their bungalow on Thursday, it has emerged.
Mrs Keeble said yesterday: "I have asked for an inquiry because I think there was a major failure in the way in which the caring services responded to this couple and I think that has been quite a long-standing failure as well.
"I think it was an appalling way for this couple to have to die and it was also probably completely needless."
She has written to Andy Burnham, the Health Secretary, about the case.
Heather Footitt, 73, a neighbour who regularly helped the pair, said she feared the couple's lives were in danger when Mr Randall's health rapidly deteriorated.
She claimed she had warned the county council, health officials and a charity for the elderly for over a month, intensifying her efforts as the cold snap set in,
Mrs Footitt said: "I kept phoning them and they kept passing it on. They would ask me my name, ask me my address and say they would get someone to contact Mr Randall but nothing was done.
"The next day I got on the phone to someone else and got the same response. And so it went on.
"I am furious this has been allowed to happen and I even predicted it would. Jean could not do anything for herself at all and Derek got to the point where he simply could not cope with lifting her, doing her washing or anything.
"When I spoke to him before Christmas, he said he might be able to cope if Jean was taken into a home so we contacted everyone we could possibly think of to come out and get their needs assessed - but nobody came."
She added that she was told the case was "none of her business" when she contacted a charity, because she was not a relative.
Northamptonshire County Council said it was investigating.
Robin Brown, the council's cabinet member for health and adult social services, said: "We are deeply saddened and concerned about the deaths of Mr and Mrs Randall.
"This is a tragic and upsetting case and we fully support the possibility of a serious case review being carried out to investigate fully the surrounding circumstances.
"We have already initiated an internal management review to examine the council's involvement."
A spokesman for NHS Northamptonshire said: "This is a very sad circumstance and we are contributing to an investigation of the circumstances."

Orlando Hudson of the San Diego Padres is a four-time Gold Glove winner with the reputation of being one of the most personable players in the game.
That fan-friendliness made for an instant blooper Tuesday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Playing second base, Hudson drifted into shallow right field to make a catch on Ryan Roberts' pop-up. Already on the run toward the right-field line, Hudson casually flipped the ball to ball girl and headed for the dugout.
Oops. That was only the second out of the inning.
Realizing Hudson's blunder, Padres first baseman Jesus Guzman went rushing to the ball girl to no avail. She had already tossed the ball to an eager fan.
Base runners Chris Young and Miguel Montero were each permitted to advance two bases, Young scoring on the play to make it 4-0 in Arizona's 6-1 victory.
"You see it every now and then," said Hudson, a one-time member of the Diamondbacks. "Life goes on. Nobody's perfect."
Pitcher Joe Saunders came within one out of the shutout and Justin Upton and Kelly Johnson each drove in two runs to power Arizona.
Daily Pitch is a baseball fan's destination for breaking news, emerging trends and enlightening banter.

Harry Redknapp has offered Paul Gascoigne a chance to work at QPR as he continues to battle alcoholism. The former England player is reportedly being treated in Poole hospital after being found drunk outside his home.
Redknapp, who lives close to Gascoigne on the south coast, has tried to help him by encouraging him to come along to QPR's training ground and work with the youth team. "I saw him about a month ago and said: 'I'll pick you up in the mornings, Gazza, come training with me and do a bit of work with the kids.' I'd love it if he could do that," the Rangers manager said.
"I'd pick him up every morning at quarter to six at the top of his road. He can go and do some coaching with the kids and help Steve Gallen with the younger players. It's an open invitation to him.
"He's a great lad and it's sad to see what's happened to him and how he's looking at the moment. I see Gazza around and I love him. He's got a heart of gold. He's probably given his last penny away. That's how he is. But everybody has tried to help and the only person who can help him now has got to be himself."

... CBS has a problem: How does it save its hit comedy Two and a Half Men when its star is a drug-snorting, hooker-banging nuisance? Easy... replace him! Show creator Chuck Lorre is busy trying to come up with a new take on Two and a Half Men in time for CBS' important Upfront presentation in May (Upfronts are where advertisers buy ad space for networks' fall schedules are decided), and he's said to be offering a more substantial role for Jon Cryer and introducing a new to-be-cast character to the program. [THR]
... NCIS has renewed the contract of fan-favorite Cote de Pablo for two more seasons, ensuring her character Ziva David won't be killed off the show. Or if she is, she'll appear in tons of flashbacks, or her twin sister Niva David will be hanging around all the time. If you see Pablo out, let her buy the drinks. She'll be making about $120,000 per episode. [Deadline Hollywood]
... In lamer NCIS news, show creator Don Bellisario, who left the show in 2007 over differences with star Mark Harmon, has sued CBS over NCIS: Los Angeles. Bellisario's suit claims his contract said he had "first opportunity" to participate in any spin-offs of NCIS, but CBS denied him that opportunity. CBS said in a statement, "That's total B.S., man." I'm paraphrasing. [Deadline Hollywood]
... Meredith Vieira hast announced that she's leaving the Today show in June. Newsreader Ann Curry will be promoted to her spot and co-host with Matt Lauer, who was also rumored to be leaving but has denied such falsehoods. This all probably makes sense to people who wake up before 10am, so go ask one of them. [THR]
... NBC is considering adapting the John Grisham novel The Firm into a series. The book was the subject of the 1991 movie starring Tom Cruise when he was less crazy, and follows a hotshot young lawyer who doesn't realize he's working for a criminal organization. Oh come on dude, you're a lawyer! All lawyers are criminals! [EW]
... Britain, I'm so sorry. It looks like we're exporting a version of The Marriage Ref your way. Hey, at least we gave you guys McDonald's! [Comedy]
... And here's a rumor that's probably total hogwash, but it's out there so let's talk about it. Supernatural fans, avert your eyes if you don't like spoilers, even the kind that are almost 100 percent fake. Someone tweeted that Misha Collins, who plays trenchcoated angel Castiel, won't be back for the recently announced Season 7 of Supernatural. This all stems from one person's tweet, so let's just assume that person is a huge jerk. [Blastr]

Beijing (AFP) April 16, 2014
Modern China is advancing reforms supported by Hu Yaobang, state media said Wednesday, a day after the 25th anniversary of the death of the reformer whose passing helped ignite the Tiananmen Square protests.
Hu was forced to resign as head of China's ruling Communist Party in 1987 after he allowed students in the capital to hold protest marches calling for democratic reforms.
Those rallies erupted again after his death on April 15, 1989, culminating in a massacre by the military of demonstrators on the night of June 3-4.
Hu remains popular among liberals who tout him as a champion of political reform.
But the Global Times newspaper contended that authorities today, who keep a tight grip on power but have promised economic restructuring, are following the course of reform that Hu laid out.
"Analysts noted that the current government is in fact sticking to the path of reform advocated by Hu in the 1980s in the new historical context," said the paper, which is close to the Communist Party.
In an editorial the Global Times also blasted Chinese who marked the anniversary with online calls for greater political openness.
"It's ridiculous that some on the Internet make use of his name to oppose the course to which Hu was devoted," it wrote in both its English- and Chinese-language editions. "It's an insult to Hu's glorious life."
"Those who oppose the leadership of the Party and who trumpet that China should copy the Western political model had better keep away from Hu's name," it added.
No official memorial was held for Hu on Tuesday and the only reported commemoration came in the form of a low-profile visit to Hu's home town by former President Hu Jintao, who is not related.
But China's popular online social networks were flooded Tuesday with messages memorialising Hu.
"When the bad news came, students' windows all across campus were filled with eulogies," influential commentator Li Chengpeng wrote on a microblog post Tuesday.
"That shows you his place in the hearts of the students."

Probably the worst service, and lack of communication ever: Marco Polo Cruise Review by doxielady48
Overall Member Rating
Probably the worst service, and lack of communication ever
Destination: Europe - British Isles & Western
Embarkation: London (Tilbury)
We stayed in cabin 527, and our Ukrainian cabin stewardess was fine. She was friendly, pleasant and worked hard to service 19 cabins twice a day. (among the most cabins we have heard being assigned to one person).
Ditto for the wait staff. Despite limited English, the staff in the Waldorf was fine. For the most part, the food was acceptable. We actually liked the smaller portions. It is overwhelming to get course after course of mediocre food in large portions on many of the other ships. We sat at table 37, and it was pretty obvious that is where the waves came thru and killed the passenger the previous month. It was covered by a metal sheet, and several got covered More during our cruise.
Entertainment was poor, and the cruise director totally worthless. He showed up infrequently to introduce a guest entertainer, and seldom seen again. He would never make it on any of the other cruise lines. Richard seemed to turn over most duties, announcements to Julie, who was in the excursion department.
Ditto for the mostly absent captain. we missed Sortland to "avoid" rough weather. So instead of being docked for 10 hours of the time, we spent 2 solid days in gale force 8 winds. Virtually everyone on the ship, crew included, were violently ill. We heard that 25 passengers out of 700 made it to breakfast one day. Never any announcements, updates from the Captain or worthless cruise director or other seniour staff. We heard that the head of the dining room wouldn't let anyone take food back to their room for someone who could not make it to the dining room. The buffet was frequently closed for rough weather. In fact the second day I was sitting in a chair in the bistro and a wave violently hit the ship, and my chair toppled to the floor. One staff member came over, took my cabin number and never bothered to even check on me later. Totally forgotten about. Only had a huge bruise on my left thigh, but it would have been nice to show some concern, even faked for passengers. The cruise was probably 90% elderly, and they also loved to closed the lifts with little notice. People in motourized scooters and canes, and with only a few moments notice it was difficult for them. Room service was an extra charge, which was limiting to those unable to leave their cabins during turbulent weather.
Boarding was fine, but disembarking was awful. Kicked out of the the cabin by 0700, and we did not get off this ship til 1030. You are herded into various lounges to sit, again with little to no information from the so called seniour staff.
The man and lady who frequently worked the info desk appeared to be more into each other than helping anyone.
Took Marco Polo twice to Antarctica, where it wound up hitting an underwater mountain and ripping a huge gash into the side of the ship. Think we are done with this ship, But mainly the attitudes and uncaring staff was enough for us. Less

I have had a net5501 running monowall 1.3b11 for about a month now
but find that most days after cold booting my XP box I need to hard reset
my soekris box to connect.
The soekris box is active and is working via serial cable. The linux
box attached to it doesnt have the same issue.
I have tried different versions of monowall, new nics, new
CF cards. dhcp on dhcp off. I've run out of options.
Is this hardware or software error? What can I do about it?
ps. I used to have an old pc running 1.3b7 and never had this issue

AN INCREASE in council tax contributions and using the force's cash reserves has enabled Merseyside Police to set a balanced budget for the coming year.
Government cash cuts mean the service needs to make savings of £13.5m in this year financial alone.
And with estimates showing the force will have to make cutbacks of more than £100m by 2018, Commissioner Jane Kennedy warned unless the Government changes its policy, Merseyside Police will be unable to deliver present levels of service.
Commissioner Jane Kennedy and Chief Constable Jon Murphy used £5.5m from the force's reserves and also increased the police element of council tax by 1.95% to set the budget.
Ms Kennedy said: "Setting the budget has not been an easy task, particularly in the face of continuing cuts from Government.
"These cuts forced me to make the difficult decision to increase the council tax precept by 1.95%.
"By also using £5.5m from the force's reserves, I have been able to set a balanced budget for next year."
She stressed: "This is hugely important as it means the Chief Constable can continue to recruit police officers, ensuring numbers are maintained and frontline services are protected.
"This is even more significant given that the force have already lost more than 1,200 officers, Police Community Support Officers and staff in the last three years.
"I have already reduced the costs of my own office by £800,000.
"This is money which is ploughed straight back into the policing budget to defend it from further cuts and keep enough officers on the streets of Merseyside to protect the public.
"The Chief Constable and I are committed to putting the people of Merseyside first as we continue to keep the region safe and focus on our agreed policing priorities.
"The reality is however, that if government cuts continue as predicted we will simply not be able to continue to deliver the same high level of service which the force prides itself on and that the people of Merseyside expect and deserve."
The police budget equates to £2 extra a year for a Band A property – the lowest category of council tax and the amount paid by the majority on Merseyside.
Ms Kennedy said the decision received support of 75% of people during a week-long consultation, when more than 2,000 respondents gave their views.
The increase was also approved by the Police and Crime Panel.

Subject: [Sc-Ir] Reward for SLOAN Family Bible (from Armagh)
Hi folks,
In this week's New England Historic Genealogical Society NEHGS eNews
Vol. 5, No. 34
Whole #130 September 5, 2003
Is this article:
Reward Offered for Sloan Family Bible
NEHGS trustee and genealogist Susan Sloan has for many years researched
the family of William Sloan, an Irish immigrant who served in the
Revolutionary War. William Sloan's pension application, filed in Norwich,
New York, reveals that he was born in County Armagh, Ireland, in 1752.
The application also makes reference to a family Bible that was left with
his son in Indiana, with whom he
had lived between 1812 and 1830. Mr. Sloan then returned to Chenango
County, New York, where he may have spent the rest of his life. Exactly
when, how, and where he died is a mystery. The identity of his children
with their dates and places of birth, remains a speculation.
Mrs. Sloan writes:
"What is known about William Sloan is that he was a Scotch Irish
immigrant who entered the country with his parents in 1754-55. He married
Sarah Cornish in Becket, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, in 1774. It
appears that he may have moved further north in Massachusetts and then
in and around Chenango County, New York, until 1812, when he went to
southern [?] Indiana, with his son. In 1830, he moved back to Norwich,
Chenango County, New York. The son may have moved back and forth between
southern Indiana and the countryside around Cincinnati.
As family Bibles are often considered cherished family possessions,
passed along in wills, I believe this very old Sloan family Bible may
still exist. I am offering a $1,000 reward to any individual or
institution who can deliver the
family Bible of William Sloan and Sarah Cornish, recording the names and
birthdates of their children, to me in Boston. In order to qualify for
the reward, I will need to inspect the original Bible and determine that
it is authentic based on my own research and that of another independent
genealogist, who has been working on this family for over forty years.
Neither copies, photographs, fiche, nor digital images will be accepted
in lieu of the original Bible."
Anyone with any questions about this reward or with information regarding
this Bible should contact:
Susan Sloan
388 Beacon Street
Boston, MA 02116

A computer that analyses and compares data to come up with logical and mathematical solutions, has determined that, based on recent custodial sentences handed down to terrorists responsible for terrorism on both sides of the Atlantic, US President George W. Bush should probably go to jail for nearly two million years!
The French computer, known as SEDAM (Systeme et Data Analytique Mathematical), used information fed to it about the perpetrators of the World Trade Center atrocity and London bombings - their motives, actions, subsequent defences and eventual punishments - and calculated what would happen to the American President if the same rules of Law were applied.
Manfo Asiedu, a would-be London 21/7 bomber, who lost his nerve and dumped his bomb in a park, received a 33-year prison sentence for his troubles, despite the fact that he killed nobody. Mr Bush, on the other hand, is currently responsible for the deaths of more than 60,000 Iraqis, several Afghans, a few token Brits and over 2,000 US troops who have perished needlessly in his "War On Terror", but faces no charges whatsoever.
SEDAM has calculated that, all things being equal, which they are not, Mr Bush should serve 1.89million years in prison.
French legal expert Alain Guerre said of the findings:
"Terrorism is terrorism. Terrorists are terrorists, no matter where they hail from. Monsieur Bush should accept the computer's decision and hand himself over to the authorities."

i very rarely toot my own horn, however, this time i can't help myself. a few weeks ago i did a post on one of my favorite things- denim on denim! literally a week later the new February issue of vogue came out and there it was model amber valletta in denim on denim. all i can say is- i told you!
there is nothing more all-american than denim, and i believe there is nothing more chic than denim on denim. if you don't believe me you have to believe vogue. i also like the western twist in the vogue editorial photographed by the great peter lindbergh– check out the vogue behind the picture video here.
that's not all i told you. my 2012 international it list that i posted a few days before denim on denim included this months cover girl actress rooney mara, as well as, model jessika hart, art director sofía sanchez, model dree hemingway, and "it couple" boutique owner laure hériard dubreuil and artist aaron young, all of which were profiled and identified as "it" in the same issue of vogue.
the only thing better would have been to have all these it Lister's in denim head to toe! denim on denim, vogue said it- i told you! enjoy!

But viral advertising based on an infelicitous turn of phrase is not something Filexec is interested in, Chavez said.
To Mrs. Sutton's apprehension this was an infelicitous introduction of herself to the husband's toleration.
The name of the gentleman who enjoyed this infelicitous distinction was Tretherick.
He hated the prisoner for his infelicitous and untimely crime, yet he could not make up his mind to his death.
Perhaps these circumstances gave the locality its infelicitous reputation.
She had thought it very likely Robert Acton would come and see her; she had not met him since that infelicitous evening.
In the first place, their choice of Monmouth as the heir was infelicitous.
Pray, sir, is it my infelicitous allusion to Miss Light's marriage?
Were it not that the salutation were infelicitous, we should have said, "Hail, all hail!"
Be that as it may, he often makes her serve as a symbol for material existence, obviously an infelicitous parallel.

october/november 2003
VSAC 2003: Micro-watt Amps, Music and Microbrews
(Photographs by Dave Glackin; image processing by David W. Robinson)
(A special thanks to David Robinson and Lila Ritsema while staying at their home inPortland before and after the show, where I sampled some fantastic Washington state wines, not to mention the best SACD reproduction I have ever heard.)
Now lets get to it...
Mastering maven extraordinaire Stan Ricker contemplates the unusual design of the Redpoint turntable. If you havent read it, be sure to see our interview with Stan in Issues 1, 2 and 3 of Positive Feedback Online (http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue1/ricker1.htm, http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue2/ricker2.htm, and http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue3/ricker3.htm.)
The edge of the Redpoint Audio Design Testarossas platter, rather than being circular, consists of multiple flat segments. The drive belt being used here is clear leader tape. The Best Quip of the Show came from Alan Kafton when he noted that "This is what you use to record Schubert lieder."
Peter Clark of Redpoint Audio Design patiently explains to Stan Ricker that, no, this arm cannot be used to cut LPs.
Dr. Bruce Edgar of Edgarhorn proudly shows off his Titan, the Best Sounding Horn Loudspeaker in the show. See our interview with this modern-day horn giant in Issue 4 of Positive Feedback Online (http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue4/edgarinterview.htm.)
Dr. Edgars Edgarhorn Titan and the ready-to-finish subwoofer. The round tractrix midrange, the very effective subwoofer, and Bruces attention to driver selection has helped to make this system a leading contender in the wild world of high-efficiency loudspeakers.
Gorgeous amplifiers from Cyrus Brenneman Audio were used to power the Edgarhorns. Talk about your gold-plated audio designs ...
"Calling all horn lovers!" Dr. Bruce Edgar explained his philosophy of modern horn design to a standing-room-only crowd during Sundays first seminar session.
The gorgeous looking and sounding deHavilland GM70 amplifier. I love 845-based amps, and this was my favorite in the show (this version uses the Soviet GM-70 equivalent tube).
Dan Schmalle (Doc Bottlehead) holding court in his room, which I judged the Best Sound in the Show. Kudos to Doc B. for founding VSAC and for hosting VSAC 2003!
The lineup of products in the Bottlehead room included a Progressive Engineering turntable, electronics from Bottlehead, step-up transformers from Bent Audio (used with the Bottlehead Seduction phono preamp see photo above), high-efficiency Climax speakers from Bottlehead, and a modified Sony universal player from Exemplar Audio. Paul Stubblebine of Paul Stubblebine Mastering provided some wonderful 30 ips half-track analog tape sound (tape deck is out of frame; see photo below).
Paul Stubblebine kept Stan Ricker up late one night, having a blast listening to 30 ips tapes. Things sound better late at night when all the Seattle-area breweries shut down and stop hogging the power grid ...
Ron Welborne of Welborne Labs was the Marketing Director for VSAC 2003, and helped greatly to make this show the success that it was. Ron was exhibiting a system built around a pair of stunning Oris horns, reproducing some very nice sound from both LP and CD.
Heres another Redpoint turntable sporting two arms in the Bent Audio room. A spectral analysis of the atmosphere in a typical VSAC room was demonstrated, reflecting the fact that the blues were being played, and that show-goers were green with envy over this gorgeous new vinyl spinner. Meanwhile, manufacturers of solid-state electronics were too yellow to show their sorry faces at VSAC.
Another eye-popping product in the Bent Audio room was this prototype NYC ultrasonic record cleaning machine. Using sound to clean your sound seems somehow fitting, eh? Put your dogs at the other end of the house when you crank this baby up!
Sporting its own interpretation of the "Wood effect" was this symphony in cocobola by Teres. And no, it didnt sound grainy. (By the way, note the tonearm its magnetically suspended!!)
Hudson Audio Technologies was featuring the Eurolab Premiere turntable with Morch tonearm and Allearts phono cartridge. These are all products that deserve wider recognition within the US.
The 2A3-based amps in the Firefly Audio room were cranking out some nice tunes.
Josh Stippich of Electronluv was at it again, sporting a pair of monster amps that would make Thomas Edison drool.
The pervasive glow from these GM-100 Russian transmitter tubes and the prominent "Danger" sign kept this reporter, who had several run-ins with 15 kV neon sign transformers as a mad kid scientist, at a respectable distance.
The sheer artistry and originality of Joshs work was evident in spades!
Meanwhile, next door more of Joshs amps were being put through their paces in the Cain & Cain room.
Another view of Joshs exquisite craftsmanship.
As you might expect, Lowther-based loudspeakers were much in evidence at the show. A pair of vintage Lowthers was spotted in the Lowther America room.
The Power Wing from Alan Kafton of audio excellence az is reportedly a truly excellent power line conditioner, and was being used in several rooms in the show.
I missed getting a good shot of Joe Cohen of PranaWire, but did find his rather enormous cables prominently featured in the show and getting a good buzz.
The Two Bald Guys Audio room was one of the best sounding in the show, and featured Sun Audio amplifiers.
Amplifiers from Nightingale and Audion were featured in the O. S. Services room.
The Wright Sound room featured a dizzying array of designs from George Wright.
I experienced something in Garth Leerers Musical Surroundings room that I have not had the pleasure of experiencing before. A Clearaudio turntable with three tonearms was set up, sporting a Benz LP cartridge, a Clearaudio Harmony Magnesium cartridge, and a third whose provenance I did not ascertain (this isnt my usual CES report, OK?). A remote-controlled preamp was being used, and the phono inputs could be switched at will. This is the way to audition phono cartridges! (Yes, the arms were different, but the differences I heard were clearly revealing of the distinctive "house" sound of the cartridges). My preference was for the brand I own. Thanks, Garth, for this ear-opening demo.
Heres a self-portrait of your author hard at work in Garths room, struggling mightily to bring you the very latest in the audio state of the art. Or something.
Efforts from the DIYers at the show were exhibited in the Craftsman Room. Above are two efforts that really caught my eye, done by some talented amateurs.
My trio of editors was found hard at work around the campfire one evening. From left to right are pictured Dave Clark, Steve Rochlin, and David Robinson, enjoying various personal vices. Who said size doesnt matter?
When finally it came time to bid adieu to old friends, I spied David Robinson and Stan Ricker warming themselves by another fire.
Farewell from VSAC 2003!

You are correct George that FS trainees carry out the work with the state
paying their (very low) training allowances However FS does not pay for
buildings, rent, rates electricity or computer and office equipment - that
has to be paid for from the fees 'earned' by the research carried out on

As a matter of record Tipperary Heritage Unit is a non profit organisation

Procrastination is the biggest killer of a dream. In today's modern world of convenience and distraction I seem to get lost. I can easily forget what my long-term goals are. I believe in living in the moment, the now. I try very hard not to live in the past or even in the future of things. Because of this I lose focus.
Soon Winter will be upon me. A snow-covered oasis is just outside my door. The great Rocky Mountains look down at me every day. I love nature and soon my year of playtime outside will be at an end. I must sit back at my desk, I must stare at computer screens, I must write.

The winner of the 2012 Orange Prize for Fiction will be announced on Wednesday 30th May at London's Royal Festival Hall, following an event showcasing the six novels on Tuesday 29th May and a celebration of new writing staged in association with Grazia on Monday 28th May. These two events before the Prize itself are part of the OPF's remit both to celebrate established writers and to give a platform for those starting out on their careers.
When the OPF shortlist was announced at the London Book Fair in April, several of the novels shortlisted went into the charts – both the Bookseller's Heatseekers Chart and the Independent Bookshop chart. For most authors, visibility is key to a book's success. There's a great deal published and although bookshops, online retailers and supermarkets often stock the same selection of titles, it is still hard for readers to know what to try, what not. Most of us, in these time-poor times, tend to stick to favourite authors unless word-of-mouth or the recommendation of family and friends suggests we try something new.
This is why Prizes continue to be so important. The fabulous first week hardback sale of Hilary Mantel's latest novel, Bring Up the Bodies, is testament to how winning a prize (in Mantel's case, of course, winning the Man Booker for Wolf Hall) transforms sales. Readers are ready and waiting! This week, too, the winner of the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize was announced – the octogenarian writer Aharon Appelfeld for Blooms of Darkness. By virtue of winning, a new generation of readers will be introduced to his work. Prizes act as 'word of mouth', they act as an indication of quality, regardless of whether the individual book in question might or might not be to one's individual taste and they promise a reader will not be wasting her or his time. By promoting the Orange Prize shortlist as a whole, we are hoping that readers will try all six. Although our reading tastes differ, our personal preferences differ, there is a satisfaction in reading the whole selection chosen by a particular group of judges in any given year.
This, in the end, is what's important – not simply the recognition for authors, but also the development of new and varied audiences all over the world for work of quality.
Off now to my local Waterstones to buy Blooms of Darkness ….

by Young Mom @ Permission to LiveMid April, my friend the Greek teacher walked up to me at a church event and started talking to me. We chatted about C.S.

This Tangy Curry Chicken Kebab recipe is in heavy-rotation in our house. See, I absolutely love cooking kebabs in the summer. What's not to like about cooking meat and vegetables at the same time without heating up the house?
Another great thing about this recipe is how much time you can save with it: make the marinade and add it, along with chopped chicken, to a container and freeze it. The night before you want to make the kebabs pull the container out, add your veggies, and let the container defrost in your refrigerator overnight.
Don't let the curry part of this recipe's name scare you. These are delicious, with a good balance of tangy and sweet flavors complemented by the smokiness from the grill. Served with rice and fresh fruit, it's a wonderful meal!
Tangy Curry Chicken Kebab Recipe
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 4-6
- ½ cup olive oil
- 4 tbsp. white wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp. paprika
- 2 tsp. red curry powder
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 1 tsp. freshly-squeezed lemon juice
- ½ tsp. sea salt
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 small zucchini cut into 1-inch slices horizontally
- 12 large button mushrooms
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, whole
- In a Ziplock bag or non-reactive bowl, combine oil, vinegar, garlic, paprika, curry powder, honey, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Cut chicken into 2-inch pieces and add to marinade. Seal bag or cover bowl, and mix well. If making ahead, pop into freezer as-is. If you're making it right away, add the veggies now.
- Refrigerate for 5 hours to overnight, or place into freezer immediately for future use.
- When ready to grill, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
- Thread meat and vegetables on skewers.
- Grill 10-15 minutes over medium-high coals, turning frequently, until done.
This marinade is very versatile so you don't have to limit yourself to chicken! It's delicious with lamb, sirloin cut into chunks, and even shrimp. Feel free to swap out half of the paprika for smoked paprika, too. Wow, is THAT good!

A kitten was left with broken and fractured bones after being thrown from a car in WA's South West.
Witnesses are understood to have seen the four-week-old kitten from a hatch back type vehicle in Brunswick on Australia Day.
The RSPCA is calling for witnesses to the incident which happened on Heppingstone Road about midday on January 26.
The kitten suffered a broken hind leg and a fractured front leg.
It also suffered injuries to another leg and injuries to its jaw.
Brunswick Veterinary staff who are treating the kitten have named the short-haired tabby kitten "Aussie" due to the day the kitten was brought in and a tribute to the kitten's ability to battle its injuries.
RSPCA chief executive David van Ooran described the incident as a despicable act of cruelty.
"If caught, offenders can face up to $50,000 worth of fines and five years' imprisonment," he said.
"RSPCA urges anyone with any information to please call the RSPCA."
The staff at Brunswick Veterinary Clinic are covering the costs of treating Aussie and are interested in hearing from anyone who would like to adopt him once he has made a full recovery.
This is the second case of animal cruelty in the region in less than three weeks.
A cat was shot with an arrow in Eaton in early January this year.
RSPCA would like to hear from any witnesses to either incident and reports can be made confidentially to RSPCA's Cruelty Hotline on 1300 278 3589.

Plasmonic properties and device in nanostructures
- First Online:
In this article, we reviewed new designs for plasmonic nanostructure and its nanofocusing, coupling, resonance, and waveguide characterizations. With in-plane Fresnel zone plates, a 15 times field enhancement was achieved for the plasmonic nanofocusing. Plasmonic antennas placed at both ends of a single nanowire, consisting of a nanooptical circuit, was successfully realized in an enhanced plasmon coupling and emission. Plasmonic Fano resonance was also observed in a single sliced Ag nanodisk with the structure symmetry breaking. A hybrid plasmonic waveguide with a CdS nanoribbon placed on Ag surface showed an excellent mode confinement and energy low dissipation. More potential applications based on these plasmonic configurations are also discussed in this article.

NO ONE noticed when Sydney duo the High Highs made their debut in 2009. ''If you were generous you would say we were unobtrusive,'' notes keyboardist Oli Chang. But the band are returning to Australia from Brooklyn next week for shows with an anticipated debut album and an international profile.
''We've worked really hard at this, pushing each other, for a while now to make sure we always had something to work towards and the momentum to get there,'' Chang says. ''We want to make sure that what we do is true to us. We don't want to be trend chasers.''
Brooklyn is just the latest stop in Chang's itinerant life. Born in Castlecrag on Sydney's lower north shore, he moved around Asia with his parents from the age of eight until he was 19, making new friends every few years but taking a love of music with him. A nearly finished music degree at the University of Western Sydney and the diversion of parenthood eventually led Chang to work at a music production company where he met, and bonded, with Jack Milas.
The singer came from an acoustic folk background, while Chang's tastes ran to electronic textures, but after some strange initial compositions they clicked so thoroughly as the High Highs that when Milas headed for New York in 2009 it was agreed that Chang would follow within six months. The ubiquitous blog attention for a 2011 EP was followed by a management deal with Elton John's Rocket Music, then signing with Sony and recording the Open Season album.
''I think of it being dream-like,'' Chang says. ''We spend a lot of time making it sound purified and effortless.''
The High Highs headline the Toff in Town on Wednesday and play the Laneway Festival on Sunday, February 3.

CPL, Hooks Launch USO Campaign
Funds raised will pay for renovations at the USO facilities at the Corpus Christi International Airport
By Corpus Christi Hooks | May 6, 2013 11:01 AM ET
CORPUS CHRISTI - Thousands of service men and women walk through the flight gates at the Corpus Christi International Airport (CCIA) every year. Today, CPL Retail Energy and the Corpus Christi Hooks announced an initiative for a capital campaign to raise funds to refurbish USO South Texas facilities at CCIA.
USO South Texas, an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is the only chartered center in Texas and serves military personnel from NAS Corpus Christi and NAS Kingsville. Monies raised will be used to completely renovate the USO airport lounge and give veterans and active military personnel an upgraded welcome as they arrive or return to the Coastal Bend. The plan for the new and improved USO center at CCIA is also a relocation to a larger more visible space in the airport.
"CPL Retail Energy is a powerhouse as a USO Friend for our military," said Nancy Allen, president and CEO of USO South Texas. "With the Hooks partnering to renovate our airport lounge, we will knock this project out of the park with the community on our team."
With Memorial Day this month, CPL wanted to honor Coastal Bend service men and women with a gift to USO South Texas that will provide a welcoming place for retired and active service members to enjoy for years to come, said Steven Murray, president of Direct Energy Residential and CPL Retail Energy.
"CPL Retail Energy employees appreciate and are truly humbled by the sacrifices those serving in the armed forces have made for our country. This campaign to raise funds for USO South Texas is our contribution to support this generation of military personnel and those who will follow," he added.
The public-private collaboration between the City of Corpus Christi, USO South Texas, CPL Retail Energy and the Corpus Christi Hooks to raise the money needed for the project is a challenging endeavor, but they have set their fundraising goal at $25,000. CPL Retail Energy will provide a donation to launch the campaign and the Corpus Christi Hooks will supplement fund raising efforts with promotion and auctioning Hooks player jerseys.
"We are delighted to partner with the city, CPL Retail Energy and USO South Texas on this project," Hooks vice president Adam Nuse said. "Our military personnel deserve the very best. One of the great things about baseball is that it brings people and worthwhile causes together."
Following the announcement, more than 50 volunteers from CPL Retail Energy and its corporate parent, Direct Energy, assembled care packages with travel-sized hygiene products, healthy snacks, drink-mix packets, microwaveable foods and small entertainment items for USO South Texas to send overseas to military personnel.
About USO South Texas: The USO (United Service Organizations) lifts the spirits of America's armed forces and their families. The USO of South Texas serves NAS Corpus Christi and NAS Kingsville. We provide a touch of home to troops wherever they serve through centers at airports and military bases around the world, top quality entertainment and innovative programs and services tailored to meet the needs of troops and their families.

Kevin Doyle lines up move to MLS
Republic of Ireland striker Kevin Doyle is weighing up a move to MLS side Colorado Rapids, sundayworld.com understands.
Doyle has been aware for some time that he is not part of the plans of Wolves boss Kenny Jackett, with his return to the club last month following an unsuccessful loan spell at Crystal Palace unlikely to lead to a first team return for the experienced marksman.
With his Wolves contract set to expire next summer, the Molineux club are keen to get Doyle off their wage bill and they are currently negotiating with Colorado to find a deal that could see the 31-year-old forward move to America in the next few weeks.
Doyle is interested in the move, but with his wife preparing to give birth in the next few weeks, he will not make any decisions over his future in the next couple of weeks.
Offers for Doyle to make a move in the January transfer window were rejected by the player, but he is ready to make a move to MLS if a deal can be reached with all parties.
Doyle could line up against Premier League legends Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard, while his one-time Ireland strike partner Robbie Keane is currently the reigning MLS Most Valuable Player following his sparkling displays with LA Galaxy last year.
