San Francisco is by far one of the easiest cities to travel to from anywhere in the world. The city is served by three major airports (two of which have direct rail link) and two major freeway systems.
By Air
San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
For those arriving by air, San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is the best way to arrive. Located 15 miles south of the city, SFO is connected to the city center by BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit). For $10 one way travelers can be from the airport to Union Square in 30 minutes or less. San Francisco International Airport is served by most International flag carriers, is a hub for United Airlines as well as Virgin America. The airport has the most extensive air service of any airport in the Bay Area and often has lower fares than from the other bay area airports. The cons to SFO are that the runways jut out into the bay are not well spaced apart. This means that in the summer when the heavy fog comes through arrivals are limited to just one runway. Delays (or flow control as they are known) are not unusual on a daily basis Same story in winter when heavier rain moves through.
Oakland International Airport (OAK)
Oakland is the next most convenient airport to San Francisco after SFO. Unlike SFO, Oakland is more of a commuter airport offering an extensive portfolio of flights within the west coast. There are a few flights to the east coast but the vast majority connect in either Phoenix or Salt Lake City. Getting from Oakland Airport to San Francisco is somewhat easy as there is a direct BART link *(*one must travel by bus for a mile to the BART station). The ride time via BART is a little over 30 minutes and includes a high speed segment in the tunnel underneath San Francisco Bay. Southwest Airlines is the primary carrier at Oakland and therefore fares can go either way. Oakland has a much lower delay rate than its cross bay neighbor SFO.
San Jose International Airport (SJC)
San Jose International Airport is located in the "South Bay" about 35 miles south of San Francisco. There is no direct public transportation link. This means those arriving at SJC need to rent a car (and then pay a daily parking fee if staying in hotel in San Francisco) or use a Super Shuttle (about $45 one way). San Jose at one time was extensively served by all US carriers. However these days Southwest is the primary carrier and like Oakland Airport to the north is used more by locals for inter-west coast flying than long haul or connecting service to the rest of the US. That said there are flights to Chicago O'hare, New York City and Dallas as well as a daily Tokyo flight from San Jose.
By Car
San Francisco is located at the intersection of highway 101 and highway 80. Highway 80 extends the entire continent of the United States and therefore can be accessed from anywhere in the continental US by are. Highway 101 travels south along the "Central Coast" of California before terminating in Los Angeles.
Driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco
There are two ways to drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco-Highway 5 and Highway 101. Highway 5 is the easiest way to travel between Los Angeles and San Francisco with a drive time over 5-6 hours. However Highway 5 travels about 80 miles to the east of San Francisco so drivers will have to navigate to highway 580 and then to highway 80 where they will drive across the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
Highway 101 is the more scenic but vastly longer route. The freeway is very windy (vs. Highway 5 that is a straight shot) and travels long distances along the coastline often intermingling with Highway 1. The drive time can be as long as 10 hours (7-8 is average) . Where highway 5 transverses virtually no other California city-Highway 101 passes near Santa Cruz, Salina, Monterey Bay, through San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura County.

D'Angelo Performs First Show in Over a Decade on Stockholm Stage
After much fanfare, reclusive singer D'Angelo has finally made his return to the stage, performing his first show in over a decade, in Stockholm, Sweden Thursday night (Jan. 26).
Rocking an all-black tank top and shawl ensemble, D'Angelo looked to be in good spirits as he engaged the crowd during the first stop of his "intimate" European comeback tour, opening with a raucous rendition of 'Chicken Grease' from his last album, 'Voodoo,' which was released back in 2000.
Despite the various legal and personal battles the troubled crooner has fought over the past decade, he appeared to be in classic form last night, rocking a selection of hits from his two albums, and even some new, unreleased songs from his long-delayed follow-up, 'James River,' which he is said to be close to completing, according to longtime collaborator Questlove of The Roots.
The D-Tour continues through Feb. 3, with dates in Copenhagen, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Oslo, Zurich and Hamburg.

Visiting for the Day
People are welcome to visit Cittaviveka. Come for an hour, an afternoon, an evening, a day….The Dhamma Hall is always open, and apart from the daily meal time period (10.30 – 11.30 a.m., Winter Time, and 11.30 a.m. – 12.30 p.m., Summer Time ) people are welcome to use it for silent meditation. There are mats and cushions in the vestibule at the back of the building, and chairs inside the Hall if you prefer to use those. There are group meditations most mornings and evenings (see The Daily Routine) which members of the public are very welcome to participate in. These group meditations generally begin with chanting and bowing to the shrine – join in if you feel comfortable, but don't feel obliged to do so. We would only ask that you use the hall with respect, in silence and for sitting in meditation.
The main house, Chithurst House, has the ground floor as a public area. The upstairs area is reserved for male residents. You can enter the House during the day, and use the Shrine Room, or read in the Reception Room. If you are bringing uncooked food or other such offerings to the monastery, the best time to come is around 10.00 a.m. (or 11.00 a.m. during Summer Time), when you can take them to the Dhamma Hall to be formally received and blessed by the Sangha. At other times you can take food or domestic supplies to the Kitchen in the House. If you are bringing cooked food to offer for the meal, it's best to arrive a bit earlier and take your cooked food to the kitchen where it can be integrated into the meal-time offerings.
We use Mondays as a day of silence and solitude. Also on most afternoons, the monastery may be quiet, but you are welcome to stroll or sit in the grounds. If on the other hand, you wish to talk with a monk or nun, the best time to come is around midday on Saturday or Sunday, or between 5.00 p.m. and 7.00 p.m. on Sunday when the Sangha receive people in the House. This is also a good time to meet other lay practitioners and make connections.
As accommodation is limited and booked in advance, we can't accommodate visitors without prior notification. For overnight stays, or longer, please read Staying as a Guest.

Rescue at sea is one of the most critical jobs in the world, where seconds can make a difference between life and death. For now we depend on lifeguards and their ability to swim, while we try surfing on the largest of the tides. Designer Davide Anzalone wants to improve the process with a solar-powered system he calls the "TESEO+ARIANNA," where Arianna is the tower which hosts solar panels and charges the batteries and Teseo is an electric rescue vehicle.
While the lifeguard is examining the shores for any problem, solar energy charges a battery pack. In case of a mishap the lifeguard removes a battery from the pack and inserts it into an electric rescue vehicle, inflates his life jacket and races to the sea along with the Teseo. Once at sea the Teseo takes the lifeguard to the needy and uses an autopilot command from Arianna to get both the savior and the saved back home.

I'm a single girl with too much education, too little employment and too opinionated. My interests are diverse, perhaps a bit commonplace and irrelevant but I am who I am. I love to talk about politics, current events, TV shows past and present, sports nobody cares about, sports a lot of people care about. I'm new to blogging and to the Internet so I need to learn a whole bunch of stuff like how to link to
other pages and all the shorthand. Be patient as I learn.
I hope you come along for the ride!

I can't believe it wasn't until day 5 that I thought of chilled soup.
I veganised and mixed around with a few variations for chilled cucumber soup that I found online. It's not fancy but it is pretty good and really refreshing for the hot weather we have been having. Besides, it took 10 minutes to make and didn't require any cooking and I made it myself (not Mr T). If I hadn't of spend most of my money of soy ice cream I may have added in some fresh dill or mint. A lot of the recipes asked for raw garlic but I couldn't do it.
2 cucumbers, peeled and diced
1/2 cup soy milk
2 containers of plan soy yogurt (almost 2 cups)
3/4 -1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of salt
pepper to taste
Put all in blender and blend til smooth

Fire in the Hole!
As any fun loving, Myth Busters enthusiast would, my beautiful, sweet, Ashley Kate loves to hear those four words, "Fire in the hole!"
Add to that a good "3...2...1..." and she is smiling ear to ear and laughing so loud its contagious.
I don't know what it is about this show(Allie B. and I happen to HATE it), but our baby girl LOVES to watch crazy, exploding, busting of myths. I am convinced she loves it only because Dave and Blake happen to enjoy it(as well as Rangers baseball, Pawn Stars, and motor cycle racing). If you know anything about our Ashley then you know that if those two guys like it then she does too.
Dave and I were discussing at lunch how odd it us that her only verbal speech at this time relates to her request to watch Myth Busters. It is the only "word" she says. Absolutely one of the funniest things she does.
Oh how I love this child!

The Muppets are at it again! Everyone's favorite puppets starred alongside Terry Crews—from FOX's award-winning comedy, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine"—and the Toyota Highlander in a sixty-second Toyota Highlander Super Bowl Ad this past Sunday. The spot, titled "Joyride," featured more than a dozen of the Muppet crew commandeering Crews' Toyota Highlander and taking it for a spin in order to "unborify" his life. The results are predictably unpredictable, as well as hilarious.
"Our game-day spot shows how Toyota Highlander puts the 'fun' in function," said Jack Hollis, vice president of Toyota Division Marketing at Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. "Toyota vehicles are built to last and can even endure the most boisterous Muppets, a former NFL player as well as a center console full of chickens."
The Super Bowl spot will mark the beginning of an extensive cross-marketing campaign between the 2014 Highlander and the new Disney movie, "Muppets Most Wanted," in theaters March 21.
We hope you kept your eyes peeled throughout the game's commercial breaks for the world premiere of "Joyride." If you didn't you can still check out the video online and hit up @Toyota on Twitter with the hashtag #NoRoomForBoring to share your love for the Muppets, the Highlander, or both!

Download an overview map of Rondeau >
Rondeau has 6 trails with over 30 km of beautiful scenery to hike through. Each trail offers something completely unique from the other!
The trails include:
Black Oak – (1.4km)
Black Oak trail offers a pleasant jaunt through Rondeau's narrow strip of pine-oak savannah. Through the spring and summer, the meadows along this trial bloom with brilliant Wood Lily, Wild Columbine, and Woodland Sunflower. This is an excellent trail for watching songbirds, especially during peak migration times in the spring and fall.
Harrison – (8km one way)
This unique trail takes you right through the heart of Rondeau and its old growth Carolinian forest. Starting at the north end of Rondeau Ave, this trail winds its way through the forest until it joins up with South Point Trail. At this point, you can exit to Lakeshore Road or continue down South Point Trail for an extra long hike. This trail also has a historical significance of being the path that Thomas Harrison walked every night to illuminate the lighthouse at the end of the peninsula.
Marsh – (7.2km one way)
What a way to check out our marsh without getting your feet wet! This trail begins on Water Street and runs along Rondeau's Bay, through the extensive wetland. 1km into your walk, you will come to our 2-storey viewing tower that will provide you with a true bird's eye view of the marsh. Many species of turtles, frogs, and birds are seen along this trail, and keep your eyes open for some of our Species at Risk like the Bald Eagle and Swamp Rose Mallow.
Spicebush – (1.5km)
This trail begins at the corner of Bennett Ave and Rondeau Road and is a great way to explore the Carolinian forest that Rondeau is famous for. In the spring and summer, the ground is riddle with gorgeous wildflowers like Mayapples and Solomon's Seal! Popular ferns like Maiden Hair, Broad Beech can also be found along either side of the trail; a botanist's delight! This is easily Rondeau's most popular walking trail, come see for yourself!
Tulip Tree – (1.4km)
This barrier free trail provides a close up look at some of Rondeau's unique features. There are many boardwalks where you can stop to get a great look at all of the sloughs and wildlife that are found in and around them. Discover many beautiful warblers in May, the giant blooms of the Tulip Trees in June, and 5-lined skinks throughout the summer. There is an interpretive trail guide available for this trail in the Friends of Rondeau Bookstore located inside the Visitor Centre.
Southpoint Trail – (4.5km)
There are many ways to access this trail – you may start at Lakeshore Road, Rondeau Road, or from the Visitor Centre. This is a perfect hike to see the variety of habitats of the park. Depending on where you are, you could be travelling through oak savannah, deciduous forest, or get a great view of Lake Erie. This trail weaves through Rondeau's old, southern campground area – keep your eyes open and you might still be able to see remnants of it! Be careful when walking this trail, erosion at the tip of the peninsula has caused the connection of the west and east side of the trail to disappear into the lake.

The Oloolua nature trail meanders through thick forest vines and undergrowth below giant indigenous trees and bushes, in some places following the course of the Mbagathi River that cuts through the forest. Giant riverside bamboo stands beckon you to descend some rickety stairs to the river and rest on benches built under the bamboo. Trickling water and chirping birds, the only sounds you hear as you rest, lull you into a reflective mood.
Further along the trail close to the river, you encounter a 33m long cave. If you brought a flashlight with you, an exploration of this dark subterranean world takes you through numerous underground caverns reputed to have once been home to Mau Mau freedom fighters during the colonial period of Kenya's History

A fascinating and novel wall clock where the gears are exposed as the wheels of an automobile. Surely a piece that will be the focal point of a modern living space. The gears on the driving mechanism turn slowly and remain in constant motion as they turn the time wheel. The car is an exact copy of the three-wheeled vehicle with a four-stroke internal combustion engine (ICE), which was established in 1886 by Karl Benz. It was a three-wheeled double crew on high wheels with spokes.

This is the first post in my daily journal about growing CBD rich strain "ACDC". ACDC is reported as being a 20:1 CBD to THC ration strain. This simply means if your CBD gross weight of dried flower is 20%, your THC percentage should be around 1%. CBD is the healing and "Non-head high" cannabinoid found in the marijuana flower, THC obviously is the "Heady" high part of the high or medicating effect of medical marijuana. ACDC is supposedly comprised of 2 Old-School strains – G13 and MKUltra. ACDC is also reported to be a pure 50/50 Indica sativa hybrid too.
I donated for this somewhat hard to find cbd clone locally in the san fernando valley and I got it a little early with no roots showing past the bottom of the rockwool cube. This is the first picture i'm posting of "Baby ACDC"

It's been quite a busy summer for ShutterBLAST! Right after working for AMORPHIS on Wacken's Black Stage, I ran straight off to meet SUICIDAL ANGELS in the backstage for a promo photo session. And straight after that, I took off to Belgium and the Netherlands for the next Festival, all in 3 days! At any rate, I'd like to announce my collaboration with Greek thrash metallers SUICIDAL ANGELS on their new promo pics... See below!
"Audrey hadn't spent one hour on the WACKEN festival grounds, before she was called to do a complete photo-shoot with us! Quickly on her feet, she found the perfect spot for us and started working immediately! The fact that we had just got off the stage, didn't trouble her at all. She worked her magic and actually made us look good!!! A much respected professional and a great gal to hang out with! Hopefully, we'll work again soon enough...Thanks Audrey!"

Friends and partners Mark JANSEN & Isaac DELAHAYE, guitarists of Dutch-Belgian outfit EPICA and IBANEZ guitars have chosen me to work on the new Ibanez catalog photos. See small versions below:
Mark JANSEN
Mark JANSEN:
I asked our guitar endorser Ibanez to use pictures taken by Audrey, since she has taken the best pictures of me so far. She has shot me often and knows how I move on stage, so she's able to anticipate what I'll do, and I feel comfortable in front of her lens. We have a great model-photographer chemistry, both live and off-stage. It's always easier when the photographer knows what they want and how to see the subject, especially in an unpredictable environment like a live show.
Isaac DELAHAYE
Isaac DELAHAYE:
I first met Audrey at one of the summer festivals carrying tons of photography equipment, running around from stage to stage to get the best shots of every band playing and trying to catch up with friends backstage in the meantime. Curiously, she managed to get all of it done with a lot of flair.
Okay, i admit, i don't know shit about how to make a nice picture, but i do know the difference between a good picture and an excellent picture. Audrey definitely has a lot of the latter.
Needless to say i'm always looking forward to the result whenever i see something blonde hopping around like a maniac in front of me when i'm on stage.
Audrey equals quality. Period.

This week we had the utter privilege of being joined by the celebrated American author and badass feminist Lindy West! She brought so much great stuff to the show! Big themes are body image, fat shaming (the president), using our position to defend those with smaller voices, the responsibilities of social media, and the time Andy brought a gun to Lindy's house.
There's also a great VulnerabiliBuddies and Lindy teaches us that a woman's only job in life is to be sexually attractive!
Check her out at LindyWest.net and buy her book Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman!!! Buy like ten of them!!

I'm working on an unfamiliar machine and I am trying to get a program called bib2x to work. Unfortunately, when I run the program, I keep getting a segmentation fault. My (limited) experience and research leads me to believe that this was a result of some kind of memory error, but I'm not sure how to proceed or how to fix the problem.
I've run the program accessing files that the user account definitely has permission to access. Any ideas on how I ought proceed?
Sorry if this is vague. It's a vague problem and I'm confused about what to do next.

To someone like myself who has been brought up in the evangelical tradition there is but one Doctor – Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones. He was the hero and he was the Moses like figure who led his people through the hard and lonely decades of the Twentieth Century. He was, it is said, the last Puritan. His influence on the conservative evangelical world was almost absolute and it all came to head in 1996 when he called on evangelical folk to a "call to decision". He caused controversy when, at the National Assembly of Evangelicals organized by the Evangelical Alliance, he called on all clergy of evangelical conviction to leave denominations which contained both liberal and evangelical congregations. As a significant figure to many free churches, Lloyd-Jones had hoped to encourage those Christians who held evangelical views on subjects such as the atonement, regeneration and the inspiration of Scripture to withdraw from any churches which did not share these beliefs. Many evangelical people in Wales including the dear brothers and sisters in Aberystwyth at the Church where I was bought up followed the Doctors marching orders. New Welsh evangelical congregations were established at Aberystwyth, Bangor, Cardiff, Carmarthen, Llangefni, Colwyn Bay, Waunfawr and Talsarnau. But not all responded positively to his call.
At the crucial meeting in 1966 when he gave his address John Stott, who was chairing the meeting, was supposed to give a word of thanks to Lloyd-Jones after the address and then bring the meeting to a close; but instead John Stott went straight into a reply explaining how he disagreed which portions of Lloyd-Jones' address. The leading evangelical Anglican John Stott, refuted the stance of Lloyd-Jones by stating that his opinion was against history and the Bible. This crucial meeting in the history of the Protestant Church saw the seed sown of a sort of cold war type schism within the evangelical world, a schism we here in Wales still have to cope and deal with today.
In the next post I hope to discuss the implications of this event on the churches of Wales, and specifically its influence on Welsh evangelicals' attitude and stance towards politics and social action. Also, from the outset here I should note that of what he did, mainly exegetical preaching, he did it like no other, my words are not to be read as an attack on the man but rather an honest discussion about his lasting influence on the Welsh church scene today.

One of the many perks about doing so much travel is that I get to try lots of new food and drinks. When I was last in London I got to try Stella Artois Cidre Pear - it's so YUMMY! I don't like normal cider so much, but this stuff is great.
It's a perfect summer drink, and even though we're going into the colder months now, I'm going to try and get some into my fridge. If they sell it where you live, or you manage to get your hands on some whilst you're travelling, please give it a try.
Has anyone seen any Stella Artois Cidre over here in Germany?

On this page, you'll play the game Blossom Dress up, one of your best free girls games!!! Blossom Dress up is the venture to dress up your friend Blossom. Blossom is out to play with her friends in the neighborhood, and you get to dress her up in her gorgeous getups. The buttons on the left hand side of the play screen are in the shape of a little girl?s head, which if you look closely are really a silhouette of Blossom?s head complete with two pony tails on either side of the head. The first button is your choice for her dress. Be careful about what you choose, as that dress is going to be Blossom?s fashion statement for the rest of the evening as she plays with her friends! Choose from colors like green, blue and light blue- all cheerful colors to set the tone for the playtime. Once you are satisfied with her choice of dress move on to the option for hairstyle.

CA has launched storage software that it claims can reduce the cost of administration while also improving data protection.
The company's Storage Resource Management (SRM) r 11.7 offers users centralised management of Unix, Linux, NetWare, and Windows storage resources that, CA said, made it easier for storage administrators to manage large numbers of virtual servers, allocate capacity, enforce policies, and troubleshoot. According to CA, the software also has tools that enable users to better use physical assets via storage virtualisation.
CA's new Vantage SRM r12 SP2 automates storage management operations, namely monitoring and analysis, and takes corrective actions for an IBM z/OS storage environment, according to the company. The product also boosts data protection and compliance with new features that IT can use to locate data sets not being backed up according to corporate policies.
Both products are accessible via a common UI for managing storage resources from a single console, CA said.
CA's launch follows close on the heels of HP who last week released a range of StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Arrays, consolidation and virtualisation services, with the message that IT shops should buy now to prepare for economic recovery.

Using remote functions with JQuery but you want to use XML pass the query paramters?ColdBox, ColdFusion
Are you using remote functions with JQuery but you want to use XML pass the query parameters? If you aren't you should be.
Well, why in the heck would I suggest such a thing? It's because Steve had the brilliant idea to reduce execution plans on the database using this nifty trick. So if we combine frequently used GET type queries (AKA get stuff from tablename where blah) into a single query and use a parameter to tell the stored procedure what to return we can reduce plans and improve server performance. So wow cool idea, but umm I'm calling the model directly dude. Steve being a DBA says, "why can you just generate XML like you always do?". Well as most Coldboxers should know, "When you call a CFC from the URL like that, it isn't autowired. This is because the CF engine just creates a CFC instance directly and WireBox doesn't have a way to intercept that." (Thank you Brad)
What does this mean? My handy dandy tools like my XMLConverter and populateModel tools aren't available. Loving my framework the way I do... I think, oh hell, I'm not going to manually write my own special XML tool. I'm way too smart, well lazy, for that.
So Brad tell me ....
"ColdBox 4 does have a new feature though, where CFCs that extend the base proxy class will get autowired in the pseudo-constructor. Otherwise, you'd have to do something like application.wirebox.autowire( this ) in the CFC. Or, for that matter, application.wirebox.
Well I'm not at CB4 yet. So I guess I'll call the autowire my darn self.
Here is an example.
component extends="baseService"
application.wirebox.autowire( this );
remote query function test(numeric param1=0,numeric param2=0)
LOCAL.xml = XMLConverter.structToXML(Arguments);
Now being a lazy programmer, my hand dandy XMLConverter that can take a struct and make it XML autoMagically is injected in my base model (typing is hard work ya'll). Since this this model initializes wirebox and extends the base model I can use it. Yee Haw. Normally, I use populateModel to grab the form data and convert it a model that is a struct and then convert that to XML. But in this case as I pass stuff into the model it becomes part of the arguments struct so it already created my struct for me. Sweet! Just replace my dump with the usual stored procedure call and the DBA is happily processing XML.
Warning: Please don't be a dumb dumb and use this method for sensitive data. Use a handler so you can do things like an interceptor or a prehandler to check that the person asking for data is supposed to be getting the data. We only use this for frequent reference table type information. We NEVER use this to save data.
Here's to being smart, um lazy.

What a Week In Bed Taught Me About Presence
For the last week and a half, I've been practicing the yoga of sleep. It's not often that yoga teachers get to sleep in. But, for the past seven days, it's all I've been getting. I have switched the alarms off, I wake up when I'm ready, I go to bed when I'm tired, and I often have naps in the day. Again, no place to be, no times to adhere to, just the natural rhythm and flow of the days and my body.
To be honest, being sick is something I've really struggled with. I'm not the most graceful sick person at the best of times. I find it hard – no, extremely challenging – to stop. Why? Because stopping means being present.
We live in a world where we really don't have to practice presence. We don't like our toothpaste? We swap it. Our bread doesn't tickle our tastebuds? There's another 15 brands to choose from. From food to jobs to brands of bread, we live in a culture where ease and convenience are afforded to us at every turn.
And ohhh, it can be a wonderful thing. We are so blessed to live in a time where we can achieve, bloom and do more than our ancestors could have dreamed of. But, has this made us disassociated from real life?
This week has been a struggle for me, because I'm so used to being busy – from early morning yoga classes, to school during the day, to a private class and then another yoga class in the evening, my days are filled to the brim. Granted, filled with what I love doing, but down time is at a premium. So, when I have a week of uninterrupted time to do no-thing, on doctor's orders no less, it takes some adjusting.
What exactly did I struggle with?
Firstly, it was the feeling of… Too. Much. Time. I'll be honest, I freaked out. Generally, I am a busy person – so when I have an unexpected week off, there's a lot of stuff that isn't getting done, that needs to be done, that is piling up in a corner still to do! Tied up with this, I felt quite strongly that I was wasting time.
Deeper than this, I realized that for me, being busy is tied up in self worth. BINGO.
If I'm busy, I'm good enough. And whilst that rings a bell of truth for me, for others their self-worth is tied up in their job, in their outfits, in their partners, in their house, their stuff.
Sure, we say it doesn't, and we act like we don't care. Yet, when something comes up that challenges this, or takes our comfortable stuff away, or pushes us against those rough edges, we react. We eat sugar. We have sex. We drink. We exercise. However we release our charge, we do anything to stop feeling what we're feeling. In other words, we do anything to stop feeling present.
Pema Chodron tells us:
"Feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we're holding back. They teach us to perk up and lean in when we feel we'd rather collapse and back away. They're like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where we're stuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it's with us wherever we are."
In other words, when we stop running from our feelings, we actually continue to move forward at a greater pace than staying stagnant with what we know.
My life coach agrees – she is always excited whenever we talk about dreams and she hears my voice shake. For her, that little bit of fear means my goal is big enough; that I'm being totally present, not stuck back where it's "safe" and known.
So, this week, despite my best intentions not to feel, I've had to sit with emotions: Feelings of not being good enough. Not loved. Confusion over career. Being sick and lying in bed for hours on end sure can bring up a lot of stuff, some real, some imagined. But today, on a day when I can finally see the light, I wouldn't change any of it.
Not that I love hanging out in discomfort. But, I do love living. And living life means experiencing all the color, joy and sadness it has to offer. It's the whole kit 'n' caboodle, the entire spectrum of emotions. So, today's self-meditation is about sitting in this present moment, and practicing the yoga of presence – despite how it feels. It is about letting go of the "stuff" and sitting with what is. Won't you join in?

Casino Operations in Vietnam – Chasing Rainbows?
Solar Power Incentives in HCM
In reality, Vietnam currently has 27 listed casinos. However, very few of these have live tables.
There are newly planned facilities, that have been licensed in Van Don and Phu Quoc (to Sun Group and Vin Group) and these are the only two casinos licensed to date for local players. It is rumored that Ho Tram will be added to the list. Ho Tram being the only truly international facility currently operating in Vietnam.
Vietnam law requires that casinos be located inside a larger resort complex and the total investment must be at least US$ 2 billion, reduced under the "casino decree" in January 2017 from US$ 4 billion.
In order to make these casino businesses profitable (with the exception of those close to the Chinese border), locals must be allowed to enter and play, because most casinos, with the possible exception of Phu Quoc and the facility in Danang, are not attractive enough to bring in foreign high rollers. The main reason being transportation distance from Vietnam's international airports is too far of a drive. Travel time to Ho Tram from the HCMC airport is a 2 to 2.5 hour drive. Singapore and Macau have casinos within a 20-minute drive of their airports.
Vietnam casinos licensed for local players will be expected to closely monitor the playing conditions under the decree, which includes players providing proof of salary, and also requires a payment of US$ 44 per hour or 1,100 per month (payable in VND).
The casino locations also raise the question of accessibility to locals. However, many locals would probably be willing to travel up to 2.5 hours by road, but then this also puts Cambodia within reach with no necessity to pay relatively high entrance fees to those casinos over the border.
One piece of good news is the recent proposal to reduce a special consumption tax on casino operations from the current 35% to 10% for a 10 year period for the casinos located in "Special Economic Zones", meaning Van Don and Phu Quoc.
While certainly progress is being made in this potential source of tax revenue, it is still unclear how profitable the current businesses will be with the massive investment required.

intangible method
Please to enjoy this "digital fairy tale," the story of a woman who discovers first-person video footage of her own life is being posted to YouTube from the future. Needless to say, "hijinks ensue." I presented this as an Ignite talk at the 2008 Etech conference, and then presented it three more times; so this version you see here is the final, most polished version from Ignite Seattle, summer 2009. You can see all the details of the presentation in the original Powerpoint file, which is posted below; the editing on the YouTube video skips many of the nice little details that the live audience got to see in high resolution on the gigantic projection screen. intangible method (6.28 MB .ppt) I would love to collaborate with a Flash programmer to make a high-res version of this presentation for the Net. Please ping me if that's your bag. The original short story which inspired this presentation is linked below.

When you need a stiff drink to unwind, nothing should come between you and your spirit of choice. Unlike ice, which spurs you to throw back your rye before it gets watered down, pre-chilled Whisky Stones® won't melt. Made from Vermont soapstone, the non-porous cubes won't absorb or alter the essence of whatever you're sipping. They're an ingenious way to keep your spirit chilled and unadulterated.
As a whiskey and bourbon drinker, who really likes his booze - these are perfect for enjoying exactly that and not diluting your product. They are cool conversation starters for new company and economical.
The only downside is that they don't get a drink too cold, only cool- but then again... it's a preference at that point.
I had some of these already, but they make great gifts so I can't complain. The problem I have with them is that by default I usually do the 3+2 rule, and these just need a lot more. 3 fingers worth of bourbon+2 pieces of ice. That always gets the temperature perfect without watering it down, but these don't cool it down well. To match my 3+2, I end up having to use all or almost all of the stones. They work, but it just doesn't seem to work as well as I'd like. And be careful you always count them...I left one in the sink and it made it to the garbage disposal. No damage but wow that was loud.4

Talking With Teenagers – 5 Tips for Parents That Don't Cost Anything!
Don't book that Wilderness program for troubled youth just yet. There is still time for talking with your teenage son or daughter, even if things are not going so well right now.
Follow these 5 tips to learn more…
Find activities to do together
It might seem like you have nothing in common, but there are sure to be a few activities you can do together, even if it is something as simple as going to the park or taking them for an ice cream. This gives you time alone to open up the lines of communication, so you are able to start talking.
Listening instead of talking
As a parent, it can be tempting to talk at your son or daughter, especially when they do something you don't agree with. However, this usually only serves to move you further apart, as the teenager starts to feel more alone. For this reason, it's a good idea to spend some time listening to them without talking, so they can express what is on their mind without any kind of pressure.
Give them praise
Don't be scared to give them praise when they do a good job or get good grades at school. All too often, a parent will be quick to point out when things go wrong, but then completely ignore the good things. When you give praise to a teenager then it helps with their confidence and self esteem.
Practice the art of negotiation
If you are constantly shouting at your son or daughter to do this or do that, and they are not responding, then you might want to try approaching the situation in a different way.
One idea is to negotiate with them when a job needs doing or you want them to do something. For example, tell them if they trim the hedge then they get to choose what movie is watched by the family in the evening. Small things like that make it easier to talk with a teenager.
Talk in a calm manner
A situation can easily get out of control when you start to raise your voice, which is why talking a calm manner is a much better idea.
This helps to keep the conversation relaxed, even when you are discussing a subject that might not be to their liking. Ultimately, you'll find more respect from a teenager when you are willing to talk calmly, and not end up shouting all of the time.

All I want for Christmas is a cardboard box
This may be my last post for 2009. Oh well, it doesn't look like I'm gonna complete a task I wanted to do this decade. It was to refinish a small nightstand.
From my Blog entry dated October 25, 2004:
"Anyhow, to change the subject, I did go to a few yardsales this past weekend. Favorite buy was a very dirty, cobwebby, musty nightstand for .25 (pictured below). I'm going to refinish it - hopefully sometime this decade - and I'll post an "after" pic once its done."
So for those who have been waiting since 2004, please be patient. I promise to get to it during the next decade or two.

Happy Festivus
Hope your Festivus was a good day full of feats of strength and airing of grievances.
I bought my DH the above Festivus CD (at Borders on clearance during the summer) and of course, forgot to give it to him today. So it will be a Christmas present. I hate it when I forget to do stuff. I lugged some big heavy packages today shopping retail. And why does my house keep shrinking?? And I hate that I have to drive 75 miles to get to an airport. I'm irritated that my favorite thrift is closed for winter break until January 6. And I'm also po'ed that schools were closed 2 days this week. Maryland snow removal sucks. Traffic at the shopping centers irritated me today. And the stores were out of Festivus poles.
Man, too bad Festivus only comes one day a year! I am pretty darn good at airing grievances.

Newsflash: Dave Ramsey says I am a Winner
But of course the Queen already knows that. But Dave Ramsey says so too. In case you aren't aware of Dave Ramsey, he is a financial guru guy that has a radio show, books, does seminars etc etc etc. Visit his website Dave Ramsey I get his email newsletter - I love hearing the stories of people's stupid taxes. That is, the *tax* you pay for doing something stupid.
Anyhow he's been doing daily giveways for the past 20 days or so. Things like $5000 cash, $2000 cash, a trip to the Bahamas to attend one of his seminars and so on. So today I get the email that finally, I won one of his contests.
Drum roll please........I won......please contain your excitement....a FULL 3 month membership to his message board.
So it's only a matter of time before Dave discovers the wisdom of the YSQ and asks for yardsale advice, to include me in his next book and so on. I just know it.

Thrift Store Waterford Crystal
The day I found the hairnets, I also picked up this bauble. I didn't mention it since I hadn't taken a pic of it. It's a 1999 Waterford Crystal Ball Ornament - I paid a whole $2.50 for it. In researching it, I see it sells for $279 on the Replacements website but also see that someone is currently selling one on ebay for $25 and it doesn't have any bids. Too heavy to hang on a tree and it doesn't even do anything. It's definitely not as cool as my American Idol ornament that says "THIS is American Idol".
Lots of snow predicted for tomorrow so definitely no yardsales. Which is fine. Having a yardsale break is good once a great while. It gives people time to go spend their money at the retail stores to buy pricey gifts. And many of those gifts will undoubtedly show up at springtime yardsales with little pieces of gift wrap still attached and I'll pay a dollar for. So it all works out.
Remember how I mentioned buying someone's old slides from the 60's and 70's? They were all on round carousel trays. I had about 6 or 7 trays full of slides and since I didn't have a carousel projector, I went thru every tray and removed all the slides and then donated the empty trays to the thrift last week. I borrowed my parent's regular slide projector so I'll be able to view them.
So...guess what I see at my thrift the other day? A brand new (vintage) Kodak Carousel slide projector in the box for $8. Crap. I didn't buy it, but should have (I see they sell for about $80+ on ebay). I checked and someone bought it already. I need to trust my judgment better - when it doubt - buy it!

Would you pay admission to a Hairnet Museum?
The reason why I ask is because I think I may start one. But only if it will make me a ton of money. I bought the above hair nets for .25 each today at my fav thrift. I saw them and into my shopping basket they went without me even really looking at them. It wasn't until I got home that I saw that one or two are missing the actual hairnets. But really, I just bought them for the graphics on the packaging anyway. Of course my favorite is the Royalty hair net - since it is fit for a Queen. After the pic was taken I removed all the thrift store price stickers to prevent damage. The sooner you get stickers off things, the better. I also heated them briefly with my hair dryer to soften the glue in the sticker so they came off easily.
You would be proud of me, even tho I bought some things today, I donated way more than I bought. I cleaned out my closet big time - look at all the empty hangers.
I did buy this LL Bean jacket for myself though - it was $6.00
And I passed on buying this gadget - you program it to display different things. I don't think the thrift store volunteers really took time to read thru all the sayings after they plugged it on and had it on display.

Dexter - Wow. Good Morning America - ugh.
I've trained Jacob that we watch Good Morning America in the morning from 7-7:30 and then he can put Spongebob on until it's time for him to get on the bus. I've trained him so well that if I even attempt to put on The Today Show or something else during that time frame he'll say that he wants Good Morning America on. I think mainly its because during the local traffic updates etc, they sometimes show "the point" and I hear him say "Look - there's the point!" every time. The point - as we call it here in the castle, also goes by the name the Washington Monument. Pic above.
Anyhow, what I came here to say is, I was ok with Diane Sawyer leaving to go do the news. I would get sick of getting up that early everyday too and would want a change. But Chris Cuomo leaving too???? What??????!!! My eyes glaze over every time George Stephanopoulos speaks. I think his wife is great, but he does nothing for me.
Tonight we caught up on Dexter's Season Finale. OMG. Didn't see that coming. I didn't start watching Dexter until Season 2 - in the off season, I should watch Season 1.

Mall Shopping
We spent last night at the free hotel - went swimming, I did some faux gambling (made about $8). The dock was deserted - what a difference a few weeks make. There were probably only about a dozen boats left. If you look way in the distance (click on the pic to enlarge it), you can see across the Chesapeake Bay to the eastern shore of Maryland. No easy way of getting there - except for a 3 hour drive, or by boat. This morning after eating the free breakfast and going for a quick swim in the indoor pool, we checked out and went to Annapolis. The hotel is located about half-way there, so we only had to drive about 25 miles to get there, as opposed to driving 45 miles from our house.
I'm on the mailing list for Victoria's Secret and the other week they sent out a coupon to save $10 off anything in the store. They had a lot of body sprays and stuff 50% off so I picked out a $22 one and paid $1.06 for it.
This shirt caught my eye at my thrift store the other day. Oye. It's so sophomoric.
Christmas is sneaking up too fast. I gotta get my tree up and some decorating done. After my current ebay auctions end, going to take a break and get back right into selling in early January.

JC Penneys Retail Shopping Today: Spent $0.00
JC Penneys has done it again - sent out a flyer with a free $10 in it, but in talking to others, I know some people's ad said free $10 with the purchase or $25, while others was a free $10 off a $10 purchase. I don't understand the rhyme or reason behind it.
I got a $10 one - and therefore found a $10 item to buy. Didn't even have to pay tax.
Been trying to do some declutterizing - I have a big box in the garage full of about 8 trays of someone's 1960's & 1970's slides. As its pretty cold out in the garage, I want to keep them inside the house. So I started taking the slides out of the bulky round slides tray thingies and I will just donate the empty trays and keep the slides. I borrowed my parent's slide projector the last time in I was in NY, so the voyeur in me wants to look thru them all. Some of the ones I've looked thru (just by holding up to the light) are pretty funny and interesting. The clothes, the cars etc etc. There's one of a fat baby toddler sitting on a front porch with a pipe in his mouth. Once I get the pics projected on a screen, I can take a digital pic of the more interesting ones and show you guys. I also spotted several slides of the construction of our local nuke plant. I have about 7 more full trays to go thru.

Yardsale Results and Buys
Well my indoor yardsale wasn't as bad as I thought it would be - I made $155, mostly by selling .50 and $1 items. Got rid of a lot of stuff and I will donate some of the leftovers before the end of the year.
I like being able to shop at the other sellers at these sales. I bought this new birdfeeder for $3.
.10 for vintage Coleco baseball game
.25 small canoe planter
.25 bobblehead pen
.25 USS Alamo ashtray
.05 tape measure keychain
And the best of all - that beat up copy of The Jungle Book Sing Along Songs on VHS ($1). With Jacob's love of the Jungle Book, I spotted this video on eBay recently and almost bought it. I'm glad I waited a bit and found it myself.
I think that is one of the best feelings - finding something you've been wanting to buy, for cheap, at a yardsale. And that's why I like selling on ebay too, sometimes you get a nice email from the customer thanking you for selling the item - saying it was exactly what they wanted etc etc etc. Just got a nice feedback from a buyer who said I made a ton of Boy Scouts happy with the vintage Semaphore flags I had sold him.
Speaking of ebay, check out my Enema Man Superhero that I have currently listed (link over there to the left) ...bet you don't have one of those!
I also went to one garage sale that was open until 2pm - I bought a $3 printer which came with 4 used inkjet cartridges. Also bought a nice Bath & Body Works canvas tote bag for .75
I will e-recycle the printer and take the 4 cartridges to Staples and get $12 worth of credit.
Was going thru my pics and here's one of my huge HE Dryer (or washer?) that was in my house for like 10 minutes.
And more proof that I don't buy something just because it's on clearance. Here's a bunch of sale chicken livers.

December 1st came and went
I told DH I would have Jacob's room cleaned out and organized by December 1st. Around November 30th, I said I needed an extension due to extenuating circumstances. Our 19 year old dryer broke last week. And our 2 year old washer had something wrong with it too. So we bought super fancy Dryer #1 (and new fancy top loading washer) - and it was delivered the next day. It didn't fit so the delivery men took both back. Those high efficiency monstrosities are designed for someone with a laundry room, not a closet. But DH had checked the dimensions and thought they would fit. Wrong. Since the washing machine was out in the garage (I helped move it), DH saw what the problem was and fixed it in 2 minutes. Then back in the house it went. The next day, he goes to Lowes and buys Dryer #2 - and get this - doesn't measure the width, he only measured the depth. He buys it and brings it home himself. As the old broken dryer was sitting next to Dryer #2 in the garage, I could tell just by looking at it that Dryer #2 was wider. Yep, by two crucial inches. He thought they were all standard sized. We lug it into the house, and surprise surprise, it doesn't fit. Back to Lowes to return it and buy Dryer #3. Third time was the charm.
My 1990 house is not designed for modern day appliances. When we replaced our fridge, and wanted a stainless one, we had once choice that would fit and that's it. The cabinet above the fridge was too low.
Our washing machine and dryer sit in a big closet behind bi-fold doors in the kitchen. So there is just so much room for them. As you can imagine, I have a ton of stuff stored in that area which I had to remove for dryer #1 - which I knew would sit up higher. So I cleaned out all the stuff (except for top shelf) and figured I might as well spackle the holes, sand it and paint, so I did that too.
Anyhow, what I want to ask is, if you are a woman and reading this, how many times have you helped your DH or significant other lug washers and dryers out of your house? My husband thinks that women seem to do this all the time and I should just stop whining. I told him to ask his female coworkers how many times they've help lug washers and dryers out of their house and most likely their answer would be 0 or once at most. I lost count of how many times we did it last week. First to remove the broken dryer, then he tinkered with it, and then we moved it back in to see if it was fixed. Nope. So back out in the garage. Same with the washing machine etc etc. It was just constant back and forth it seemed. Buying new appliances, returning them etc etc etc. Glad I finally got a new dryer that fits and works. And get this, there is even a light inside the dryer. For the past 19 years I've had a dryer with dark enamel interior and no light. Now I have a dryer with a white interior and a light - it's a million times better.
I signed up to sell at an indoor yardsale this Saturday (you are all welcome to come buy my junk at the Southern Community Center in Lusby from 8am to noon). But I think it will be my least organized yardsale ever. Tomorrow will be a busy day for me pricing stuff, finding stuff to sell and loading up the car.

I won fudge!
Well I haven't started my Alli diet yet, good thing, since I won the above fudge from entering a bloggy contest The blog may say Bittersweet Punkin, but I know her as Schmoopy from my message board. Check out her blog - she's doing a different bloggy giveaway once a week until Christmas.
I had my choice of fudge flavors, and I chose peanut butter (since peanut butter is full of protein and I'm all about eating healthy).
I had fun shopping on Black Friday - and this time next year, I'll be able to include Kohl's in my Black Friday shopping itinerary. (Our new Kohl's should open within 6 months). Even though the nearest mall is an hour away, I am not hurting for Black Friday shopping opportunities in my local area. Last Friday I hit: Staples, Lowes, Hallmark, Walmart, Bath & Body Works, JC Penneys, 2 CVSs, Dollar Tree, thrift store, BJ's Warehouse, Walgreens, Chick-fil-a.

India has said it will respond to any US trade action regarding New Delhi's solar energy programme, a day after Washington decided to take India to the World Trade Organisation over alleged protectionist measures.
New Delhi's move also comes ahead of a US International Trade Commission hearing into complaints of trade barriers raised by India, due on 12-13 February.
Indian Trade Secretary Rajeev Kher said his country, too, had raised complaints about the US at the WTO.
Kher said India was also examining possible dumping of solar equipment.
The spat over India's solar programme began when the US sought consultations at the WTO last year, the first step in a dispute process that can lead to sanctions.
The US sought discussions over India's Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission, which aims to double the country's solar energy capacity by 2017.
India has argued its solar policies are legal under WTO government procurement rules. It also imposed anti-dumping duties on Chinese and Indonesian solar equipment firms in 2013.
With general elections due by May, Indian politicians would want to show that they would not give in to American pressure tactics.
"We have clear evidence of 13 odd [US] states which follow equally restrictive policies as they challenge against us," Kher said, reported Reuters.
"So, we are examining those policies," he added.
The US government said it would file a second case at the WTO regarding domestic content requirements in India's solar mission.
US Trade Representative Michael Froman said rules, compelling Indian solar power producers to use locally-made hardware, discriminated against US producers.
Indian solar power developers import equipment from the US, China, Germany, Indonesia and Malaysia.
The bilateral trade in goods, between India and the US, hovered at $63.7bn (£38.7bn, €46.6bn) in 2013.
Local Aspirations
Indian solar equipment makers such as Welspun Energy and Moser Baer India are looking to expand their capacity just as fuel shortages and populist tariff regimes have hit the performance of thermal power stations.
In 2013, New Delhi invited bids from firms to set up solar power projects with a capacity of 750 megawatts, amid persistent electricity shortages. The government said locally-made equipment had to be used to generate half of that capacity.
