This magnificent cottonwood tree is in the process of being cut down. I am absolutely heart broken but there's no other solution. Last year we spent close to $1000 bucks on a famous arborist, or at least a arborist working for famous people ( this was a fact we found out during the inspection), hoping that he'd have some good solution for our tree, all he said was that a tree this close to a house needs to be taken down. The main trunk was an inch away from the wall when we moved in, now it is firmly pressing against our wall. Our current insurance company will no longer insure us, we are hoping this won't be a issue for the new insurance company, but then the electrical company requires a clearance where the tree is for our meter. Anyway, the tree is going down. Once the schedule was set to cut down the tree, I left and didn't stay to see it happen. It is just too upsetting to watch. I am officially one less good tree. This sucks!

A long and messy post...
I think now is a good time to show some progress photo of our house.
The first step to rebuild our fireplace is demolition. We had two build-in cabinets on either side of the house, those were taken down and a carpenter is rebuilding a new one in his workshop. After crown moulding and baseboards were removed, and walls and flooring covered up, the workers then proceed to take down all the bricks in the fireplace.
There were a lot of bricks. They were cleaned up and stored in our backyard. We are not reusing the old bricks again even though I debated about whether or not to put them back. Perhaps one day I will use them in the garden.
Fireplaces in older houses tend to have poor foundation, to add better support, the engineer ordered to dig a two feet deep hole in the ground. Framing was then added, and we waited for city inspection after that.
I'm learning that for a housing construction like this, your city inspector can be your best friend. You never know what the contractor are doing or whether they followed the engineer's plan correctly. We learned that keeping up communication with city inspector is very important.
After a slow week waiting for inspection to happen and a crazy week rescuing chihuahuas, the masonry company came in and filled the dug out space with cement and rebar. This is why we decided to stay with cinder blocks. The rebar can easily go through the middle of the cinder blocks.
The brick layer took his time and carefully rebuilt the fireplace. Making sure everything is perfectly leveled.
This is the finished product. Looks huge! It looked very duty in the picture because the next step of demolition was already taking place.
When we started the demolition, part of roof along had to be taken down. When the fireplace was completed, the roof had to be further removed before framers came in and do their job.
This was the pile of roof that was removed to prepare for the framers' work after fireplace was completed. We had nice cedar wood on top of the house, soon as I discover that, I asked the contractor to replace with the same type of wood. On top of the cedar was five or six layers of old roofing. The previous owners never removed old roofing!
Here is a picture of the big gaping hole on our roof, temporarily covered up!
The framers started working yesterday.
A view of the back of fireplace. This was our closet, as you can see.
A closet up view of the new added frame. You can see our second floor from here, I'm enjoying the "openness" of the room.
A view of downstairs from second floor.
In sum, we are making progress. Rebuilding or reconstruction is a painful process as I've come to learn. We are getting a few other things done around the house as well, but I'm saving that for another post! All in all this has been a busy and stressful time. I'm keeping fingers crossed that when we are done things will look a whole lot better.

A couple pictures of my bathroom inspiration. Pictures are from here.

I had to post this picture of Fie Fie because he was too cute, now, let's get down to business and talk about home stuff.
I have been kind of having some good and bad luck when it comes to vintage sinks lately.
This beauty was discovered at my neighbor's front yard. I didn't know the guy at the time, but had seem him painstakingly restoring the exterior of his old house one inch at a time. I saw this sink by his side yard a couple of times guessing that he must be planning to put it into his kitchen. A couple of days later I was walking my dogs and I saw the sink again. Somehow I decided to ask him about it anyway, and turned out, he wasn't planning to use it, he was going to sell it.
I pretty much decided on the spot that I wanted it. I've seen a lot of restored old houses in my neighborhood had ones like this, I'd been looking online but the price and shipping was discouraging, and the size woud not fit my rather small kitchen.
Later that day, my husband and I hauled the huge thing to our home. It's going in my stash of junk that's going to go in my "new" kitchen one day.
The sink cleaned out quite nicely. The original porcelain was in near perfect condition with all but one little chip at the right corner. I couldn't be happier. When we get to remodel our kitchen, this will fit right in.
Since our house is being gutted because of a house fire we had last year, my husband and I had been counting coins and see what kind of remodel we could afford to do. It turned out, not much. To put tiles in our tiny 3 by 8 guest bathroom would cost thousands of dollars. So to break up the cost, I decided to do half a bath at a time like the fixtures and lighting, and wait til I perfected my tile laying skill so I could do the job myself. This got me started looking for a kitchen sink, you know, THE one sink that you dream about that the whole remodeling of the bathroom evolves around? And just my luck, this beauty popped up on craiglist like no one's business, at the perfect timing, and at a price only about 5 times cheaper for the same sink a dealer sells. Albeit I had to drive three hours to get it, it was totally worth it. The condition was not as good as my kitchen sink, it has been reglazed, and will need to be touched up again before I put it in, but I was ecstatic!
A few days later I announced proudly to my contractor that I shall begin renovating half of my tiny bath. They took out their tape measure and had a look, and of course, it was too big. The sink blocks half of my tiny bathroom door way so that a normal sized human being could not squeeze through it. I had neglected to measuring the sink, of course. No worries, I've got two more bathroom, I will fit it in somewhere, somehow.
Comes sink number three, if I still want my half bathroom remodel to happen.
This was my sink number three, the fairest of them all. The porcelain in the overflow drain area had completely rotted out, so was the porcelain around the drain. I was kind of disappointed at first that the pedestal it came with didn't match the sink. It was not cast iron like the top, so it's a new piece. After a little research I discovered that this is called a wall hung sink. It's got butterfly wing shaped hook in the back so you can hook it up to the wall. It was yellow everywhere. It had been sitting at a junk store's outdoor area for months and months. The seller was aiming to repurpose it as a planter. A month ago I asked about it while at the store, but was mistakenly told by a store employee that it was sold. Last week I discovered that the sink was not only still there, but was on sale for $100. This time even a nut like me hesitated. I mean, there's gotta be a good reason that no one grabbed this guy for such a long time.
Eventually, the crazy side of me prevailed, and I bought the sink. Cleaning it up required some serious stuff, like muriatic acid, which the hardware store employee highly warned me not to use because it could be hazardous when mishandled. I got phosphorus instead.
Don't let the improvement fool you. The sink is no where near being usable. I have to have a plumber check out the sink making sure it will work properly, then have it reglazed or painted, install new faucet, before it can be put in the bathroom. In a year or two if I'm lucky enough to find a business that would re-porcelain the whole thing, I would then just do it and make it completely like new again.
All this hassel really has not discouraged me, I'm continuing my quest to find a porcelain coating business that can do cast iron sinks. It's all worth the effort, I mean, look at the beautiful line and figure of these old sinks. There's something in its timeless beauty that modern sink cannot compete.

My husband and I have been thinking about getting a few things done here and there while the house is in construction. It got me started obsessing over pretty much every little detail of planning, and now it's just about time that the ideas have been "cooked" long enough in my mind to put together some idea boards to see if they are feasible.
Music Room
Guest Bathroom
Music Room
A lot of furniture pieces we purchased two years ago now seemed unfit for the house. Our dining table was too big for the dining room, the long benches constantly give me back ache, bed was too small in the bedroom, and there are also many pieces like IKEA shelves that clutter up the space. It's easier to re-imagine how we could furnish the house better when things are moved out and the rooms are empty.
Guest Bathroom
Initially I made plans to completely redo the guest bathroom, but I'm running into problems left and right with this bathroom. To begin with, the antique cast iron sink I purchased not too long ago was actually too deep for my tiny guest bath, and half of it shows through the door way. To purchase a smaller cast iron sink is possible, but I am having hell of a difficult time finding a company that would re-porcelain the sink to perfect condition.
It's been a bit of a fixation for me to want to put a vintage cast iron sink in my house. I just think it adds so much character and style for the house. Problem is, there are no place I know of that can actually re-porcelain a cast iron sink in California. There are places that could do it, but they are in the East coast. It's a process different than just your typical guy "reglazing," aka "repaint" your bathtub in your home. Reglazing is not a good solution for heavily used sinks and tubs, as paint chip every few months of so. This, of course, I learned after purchasing my bathroom sink.
The best way to go is re-porcelain the sink completely. It was the way these sinks were made back then and it will last you another life time if taken care of properly. So far there is one company in Corona that is planning to start a operation on this. The owner told me I will need to wait three more months while he sets things up. Until then, everything is still up in the air. So what do I do in the mean time? I could put in the lighting fixture, fix the fan in the bathroom, and place a medicine cabinet on the wall ( which requires moving a section of water pipe behind the wall, headache!) and just wait on the tiles and sink!

Dining Room
My taste for furniture has changed over time. Sometimes it's not that my has taste changed, it's just that I didn't know what my taste was. This time for the dining room, I wanted to go for a clean cut French look, without bordering on shabby chic. I'm still loving the crystal chandelier that I put into the dining room when we moved in, everything else needs to go. Fingers crossed that I can get rid of the old furnishings without too much trouble!

I bought this birdhouse months and months ago at my local nursery, but at the time I didn't have anyone that could put a post in the ground for me, so the project was just sitting in the garage. With construction workers at my house everyday, I now had people dug a hole in my front yard and pour cement with the post in it. I spent half a day painted the birdhouse over.
I had been working on finding chihuahuas new home or a rescue group. After much effort, we started talking with a couple of rescue groups, one of them could take them. The pups are just getting used to my home, now they had to be moved again. It was very hard to let them go. Thursday night I packed all their things, beds, blankets, clothes, treats, toys and food into a large bag and packet into the car. I was determined to take them back if the foster home didn't look good. The pups thought they were out for a walk, until they got in the car and we started driving, they knew something was up.
The foster mom lived in a cozy beautiful vintage house at a nice neighborhood, it was a relief to see her with doggie fence at the front door, and a large backyard. She also had four other small dogs, some rescue and some her own. It took a long time for me to leave once I got there. Charlotte clung to me and looked so sad and I cried too. I think it was the right thing to do though, foster mom is so much better than me at training them to become better candidates for adoption, and she can socialize them better because she has so much experience and knowledge.
Since then I've been getting constant puppy updates from the foster mom along with pictures. I'm also allowed to visit them if I want. You just know a dog loving person when you see one, on top of it all, I just could not believe there are people out there who are so generous and kind.

Shortly after Bobby died, I was constantly going to animal shelters looking for another exact "copy" of Bobby. I was hell bent on finding the exact same dog. I was looking not just for dogs, but poodles mixes, that are black, male, and with short ears and handsome faces. There was this beautiful pit bull puppy with amazing eyes and a colorful stripy sweater on that reached out to me crying desperately, and a chihuahua that reached its paws trying to call me and grab my attention. I refused to look at them. When I came back around later, the pit bull puppy was heart broken and sunk to way back of the cell and looked sick. I never saw the chihuahua again. Of course I never found another dog like Bobby, I was heart broken too, and with time I just accepted that he was gone for good. Life moves on you know? If you tell people that you were hopelessly in love with your dog like your own kid, they look at you mad like some degenerate that have nothing better to offer the world but to rot away like a pedophile.
I wonder if those puppies found families or was euthanized. From times to times I think about them and it was very hard to forget those images.
Right before this animal rescue fiasco happened, I would think to myself about volunteer to animal shelters or rescue groups, and how emotionally draining that would be. I was reluctant to take the first step, but it turned out, life gave me a push.
While it was easy to put off volunteering at animal shelters, you can't turn away from animals dying in front of your eyes.
I never thought I would like chihuahuas, but after one week living with them and having them turning my life into a living hell, I'm totally for chihuahuas. They are like the rock star of dogs, small like a mice, but big, I mean super big on personalities.
Call me crazy, but all the regrets that troubled me in the last year or two, rescuing these two chihuahuas was a second chance for me... to do my part. Everyone deserves a second chance right?
Monday, September 9, 2013
I've been emailing back and forward with a local rescue group that said they might be able to take them, late last night I suddenly got an email saying they will take them both, in a few days. I will say that I'm not quite prepared for them to be taken away so soon, even though my sole objective has been trying to get them re homed ASAP. I've learned more about chihuahuas over the past week more than I did in my whole life, and now I know that they are tiny dogs with REAL BIG personalities!
Today I went out and got a few things for them, t-shirts, bedding, toys. I am feeling somewhat anxious, once the chihuahuas leave my hands, I really have little say in where or how they will end up. You kind of have to take a big leap of faith and just trust the people that take them over. After helping them through this terrible ordeal of being dumped at a parking lot, I really need to know that they are going to a good home.

"Crazy" doesn't nearly describe the state of my life right now. Besides the interior of my house looking like this,
I've also found two chihuahuas abandoned at a parking lot.
Here's an idea people, hey, I feel like dumping my pets in a broken crate, so I'm just going to go ahead to dump them at 3pm in the afternoon when it's about 100 degrees outside.
Between trying to coordinate with contractors, running between two houses, taking care of my own dogs, getting these chihuahuas back to normal, bathing, cleaning, buying some basic necessities like leashes, food bowl, and flea treatment, vet visit, constant clean up, and shooting out crazy amount of emails trying to get them adopted, my blog pretty much got pushed to the rock bottom of priorities.
To top things off, I took the chihuahuas to the vet yesterday to get an exam and vaccine shots, and after I put the chihuahuas inside the car, I accidentally locked myself out. After being told that to remotely unlock my car would take 48 hours and a road side assistant would take an hour to get here, a nice lady at the clinic used her AAA service and got the car unlocked. It was just in time before the pups baked into cookies. On our way home one chihuahua used my Mercedes as a puke bucket and threw up all over the back seat, but I didn't care, I was just too thrilled that they didn't cook inside the car while being locked in.
As of now I am still searching for families that would adopt them. From my experience, 90% of animal rescue does not even bother to email me back, while the remaining are mostly maxed out on their capacity. Seeing lots of stray animals' happy endings on facebook used to give me this delusion that there are always people out there to help them, but there aren't, at least far from enough. A look at a typical shelter in LA or Orange County, the number of euthanized animals by the shelters per year is staggering. It's just so frustrating because it is to me a purely human created problem out of irresponsible pet ownership and breeding.
Anyhow, discussing the broader issue does not help me a bit in placing them at a good home. If you happen to be reading this post and interested in the chihuahua puppies please feel free to contact me in the comment section!

Book Club FAQs:
Here's a little more info about our book clubs:
How did the book clubs get started?
Charlie Byrne's Book Club started back in February 2013 with Old Filth by Jane Gardam. The book club has gone from strength to strength in the capable hands of Megan Buckley and John Carrigy and has recently passed hands to Michaela McDermott. We have occasional field trips to literary events and other fun outings; a regular supply of homemade baked delights, courtesy of many our our members; and a guaranteed dose of lively conversation, what more could you ask for!
So how do the book clubs work?
At each meeting we have a friendly and relaxed (but rousing!) chat about the book we've read; we choose the title for the following month together as a group; we enjoy (often homemade!) baked treats and coffee, and generally have a good time. We're a mix of men and women, ages 20-something-ish to 70-something-ish, and we always welcome new members of all ages, genders, and reading tastes. Feel free to come to any and all of our book clubs: you can drop in and out anytime as it suits you. We're a pretty laid-back gang: no need to sign up or reserve a place or anything. Just turn up on the night. And, you don't even have to come to the meetings to read along with us: there's a 10% discount for everyone on the current month's book club pick.
Do you have a Children's Book Club?
Yes: We currently have two children's book clubs for children aged 9-11 years facilitated by children's section manager Michaela. For more information see our children's book club page.
Do you take a break during the summer, or for Christmas?
Nope: we meet each and every month, January through December, so feel free to drop into one of our meetings year-round.
Any questions, contact us at Charlie Byrne's at 091-561-766, or email@example.com

Meet our book club coordinators:
Book club facilitator Michaela McDermott recently took over our Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning book clubs. Book clubs began their successful run under the guidance of Megan Buckley. Megan has worked in publishing and bookselling since 1999, when she began her work life as an editorial assistant at Simon & Schuster in New York.

Date story published: Sunday, December 15, 1996
Jared Prickett said Friday he had no regrets about signing out of high school with Kentucky rather than Notre Dame. He spent last night showing why the Irish should regret that decision.
Prickett provided one of few highlights in UK's lackluster first half. Believe it or not, he swished a three-pointer. "Hey, I make them in Individual Instruction every day," he said a bit defensively. "It's not a big deal. It's not a miracle."
Prickett made another trey in the second half, giving him three in a season for the first time and improving his career accuracy to 8-for-46. But it was his steal and driving dunk after intermission that helped ignite the Cats' 80-56 victory.
No. 3 Kentucky used a 17-0 run early in the second half to put away a surprisingly competitive Notre Dame. The Irish hung tough by slowing the pace, a strategy helped mightily by UK's poor first-half shooting.
"We took the first available open shot and then never got our players in position to rebound," Pitino said. "We just were off. I really have no complaint about our shot selection. I told them at halftime, we're going to have our run if we get to the second or third options. Shot selection. Ball movement. Passing. That leads to our press. In the second half, we ran our offense much quicker."
The Cats (7-1) led only 29-20 at the break. But a quick start in the second half led to the inevitable. Kentucky was simply too good. As UK exercised its superiority (and matched Notre Dame's physical play), the Irish slowdown became self-defeating. The Irish fell to 3-3.
"Grunt game" was the term Pitino used . "A very physical game. About as physical as it gets for basketball."
The rough stuff reached WWF proportions midway through the second half when Derek Manner clipped Anderson as UK's leading scorer soared toward what looked like a driving dunk. Anderson crashed to the court.
"Hey, he's in the wrong sport, ain't he?" Anderson said. "I thought Lou Holtz left."
Prickett sprinkled memorable plays throughout the mayhem. His first-half three-pointer briefly awoke the crowd. His back-tip late in the half led to a Nazr Mohammed dunk and previewed the quicker second-half pace. His steal from Notre Dame star Pat Garrity - he ripped the ball free near mid-court - and driving dunk fueled the 17-0 breakout run.
"I don't know about that," Prickett said when asked about sparking the breakout. "I'm just happy I made the dunk, to tell you the truth. I missed one in practice this week and Coach yelled at me. I think they were getting skeptical of me."
Prickett finished with 14 points. Ron Mercer led UK with 21 points. Derek Anderson chipped in with 13 points, all in the second half.
Garrity led Notre Dame with 25 points, all but 10 coming after Kentucky built a 58-29 second-half lead.
Kentucky got "clocked" in the first half. Shot-clocked that is. More than 11 minutes into the game, the two teams had combined for 25 points. UK led 13-12.
Notre Dame showed early it hoped for a slow pace. On its third possession, sophomore Antoni Wyche passed up a wide-open three-point shot in transition. Instead, he held the ball and passed outside. The possession ended with a 35-second shot clock violation.
A slow-down strategy not only shortened the game - a necessity for a lightly regarded Notre Dame team ranked lower than Wright State in the latest Sagarin power ratings - it also lessened the severity of Garrity's two quick fouls. Garrity, who came into the game averaging 24 points, picked up his second foul at the 15:44 mark. With a slower pace, he was less likely to pick up a third foul in the half, and in fact didn't.
Kentucky's 13-for-36 first-half shooting included two unlikely baskets by Prickett. He hit from the top of the key and a third-pointer in a 43-second span.
"Three times during the game I yelled 'Bust it,'" Pitino said. "I told (associate coach) Jim O'Brien, 'Am I out of my mind? I'm now telling Jared Prickett to shoot the three.' He said, 'Yes, you're out of your mind.'"
Prickett's first three-pointer seemed to signal a long-expected UK breakout. It came near the end of a 9-2 run that gave the Cats a 22-14 lead.
But after Mercer completed the run with a jumper at the 6:07 mark, Kentucky went scoreless for more than three minutes. In that time, Notre Dame closed within 22-20.
A rare transition basket helped Kentucky outscore Notre Dame 7-0 in the final three minutes.
One play ignited the crowd. Prickett back-tipped the ball from Notre Dame. That led to a long pass that a crowd favorite, Mohammed, dunked.
The second half began with some welcomed firsts for Kentucky. Prickett's layup with 19:45 left gave UK its first double-digit lead, 31-20.
Thirty-seven seconds later, Anderson scored his first points: a three-pointer.
That seemed to cut Kentucky loose. Prickett stripped Garrity of the ball and drove for a dunk. Anderson hit again. A few moments later, UK had put together a 17-0 run.

If you thought it was odd that a major superhero movie was coming out without a videogame spinoff, wonder no more. Ubisoft Quebec have teamed up with Marvel Studios to bring us Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth.
Scheduled for release this fall on the Kinect-enabled Xbox 360s and the Wii U, Battle For Earth will follow the Secret Invasion storyline in which invading Skrulls disguise themselves as superheroes. The game will feature 20 different characters including not only the main Avengers crew like Thor, Hulk, and Captain America, but several other superheroes and villains of the Marvel Universe as well.
Tony Key, US senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft stated, "We are excited to team up with Marvel Entertainment to bring some of the most iconic comic book characters from the Marvel line-up to life in motion-gaming... Fans of the Marvel universe and superhero games are going to love the extensive combinations of characters, motion-controlled moves and competitive gameplay."

What People are
Saying about BSAC:
"Kids should go to summer camp because they can do swim lessons here. And then they can go swimming on the field trips too! I love doing handstands in the water when we swim in the pool. I can't wait to see my friends!"
"I've always loved kids, so this comes naturally. I'm excited for Camp BSAC, It's always go, go, go, full of different activities with so many new faces."
"Camp BSAC is just awesome! I can't wait for the week Africa because it's Beast Mode! I think of games that involve animals like lions and tigers. My favorite thing to do is play tag and marco polo in the pool."
"Wouldn't you rather come to a place where you're comfortable and it feels like home… than go somewhere else where you feel just like a number?"
"I just wanted to let you know how amazing your staff is. They were so attentive, constantly interacting with the kids. All the kids were so happy and listened the first time a staff member spoke. They were so good at communicating with us their needs. Thank you for coming to the museum you are always welcome here!"

Then it hit me all at once one night. An anxiety attack. Here I was. Unemployed (other than my part-time) while all my friends were getting their dream jobs. Classmates who did not even intern like I had, hired. I knew better than to compare myself but I could not stop the feeling of dread within me. Was it me? Was it my resume?
My mind then turned and I started doubting if I even knew anything at all. Did I really learn anything at those internships? Would I be able to do the tasks at hand as a full-time employee? Would I ever be good enough?
I was my own worst critic.
I went back and presented my project and then was introduced to the president of the company. It was nerve-wracking but we ended up talking and I learned quite a bit. 2 days later, I was emailed and offered the position. I was ecstatic. My first job offer! But even still, I was hesitant. I took the job despite it and I started a week later.
After a week of working. I quit. I am not a quitter. I know a first job was never going to be perfect or what I thought. It was not going to be easy and it was going to be stressful. The reason I left was because I ended up doing much more sales than social media. Any experience is good experience but my fear was that I would be forever stuck in sales if I stayed there for a year and then looked elsewhere. I wanted to land my job in public relations, marketing, or social media and that was that.
So here I am, nearly 9 months after graduation and still searching for my full-time job. I spend my days at home, where my part-time is, luckily, remote. I work from home and I watch over my cousins all day,everyday. It's not where I thought I would end up now but I realize that the right job will come for me when it does. Life is funny in that way and I am not about to let it deter me.
Instead, I am focusing on myself now. I've lost 27 pounds, I've begun to do breathing exercises and coloring to ease my anxiety, and I am taking it a day at a time. I will not give up. I will continue to tweak my resume, work my contacts, and hope that the fruits of my labor will finally result in a job that is in the field I want to be in.
Here's to all those unemployed students having anxiety attacks and wishing they could go back to the good old days of college. You aren't alone.

How Mass Atrocities End: Guatemala
The negotiation of land distribution and horizontal inequalities, direct causes of the conflict, meaningful transitional justice mechanisms, including prosecution of perpetrators, and indigenous territorial autonomy, was at best sidelined, at worst bluntly sacrificed, in order to lower resistance of the parties to the accords to sit at the negotiation table and sign the peace. Moreover, the process was undergirded by the framework of universal individual rights over and above social, economic and cultural rights, rights that would have gone some way towards addressing certain structural causes of violent conflict.Continue Reading →

[…] one might expect a debate over endings on matters of intergenerational impact, political deployments of history, and survivor health, access to power and wealth, in addition to legal proceedings for crimes with no statute of limitations, or the social impact of demographic change.

The new paperless driving licence comes into effect on June 8. Are you ready for it? Fleet managers are being urged to make sure their drivers are prepared to drive abroad under the new regulations. We've collated the information below
The updates to the driving licence
From June 8, the UK driving licence (new style, with photocard) is changing. It will no longer have a paper counterpart. The information that had been stored on your counterpart is now on a DVLA online system called View Driving Licence. You can see it here.
What the updates mean for your business
If your drivers are driving a vehicle abroad, they will be required to show digital confirmation of their licence as well as their UK photocard. This can be done in several ways.
Prior to leaving the country, drivers should access the View Driving Licence system to generate a passcode. This code is used to give hire companies access to the driver's full record. It is valid for 72 hours, and is generated using a combination of National Insurance Number, driving licence number and postcode (as it is shown on the licence).
The ability to view a digital record of licence endorsements replaces the need to carry a paper counterpart licence.
Should you be worried?
The DVLA is assuring all drivers that the change will take effect smoothly. It's also in the process of developing a second service for employers to check the licence details of their drivers, or for businesses to check the endorsements of their customers.
Major hire companies and brokers are also reassuring businesses. Hertz has said that it will follow the new system, and Economy Car Hire (one of the largest UK based worldwide hire brokers) state that "customers will be fine to rent without the paper counterpart".
What your drivers need to take with them when they travel abroad
The DVLA advises all drivers to destroy their paper counterpart on June 8. However, the AA has been advising drivers to keep the document as a failsafe, in case vehicles are hired or stops made in places where the information about the new service has not filtered through.
You can also download and print a PDF of your driving licence information, using the View Driving Licence system. This is advisable as an extra safeguard, for situations where the 72 hour passcode has expired or there is no access to the internet.
Keep National Insurance Numbers handy
Drivers should know their National Insurance Number, as they can't access View Driving Licence without it. They need to carry their photocard licence, both as proof of ID and ability to drive, and as a source of information for accessing the new system whenever they need to.
Roaming charges
The new licence system makes it even more important to have a lenient mobile data contract for drivers going overseas. Your drivers may now need to access the DVLA site at hire company offices, or border control locations.
During the changeover process, we recommend that your drivers carry all documentation listed above, and generate their passcode prior to travelling.

WIOV '11 Call for Papers Now Available
The Program Committee for the 3rd Workshop on I/O Virtualization (WIOV
'11) invites you to contribute your work.
Virtualization technology has grown beyond server systems to include
desktops, notebooks, and even mobile devices. The rich settings in which
virtualized systems are used range from cloud computing infrastructures
requiring access to high-end I/O devices like GPUs and networks to the
many devices present in embedded and mobile systems. Consequent
requirements imposed on I/O include the need for extreme-scale
performance in high performance or low latency systems; fairness in
device sharing in cloud and server systems, which includes online
methods for understanding the I/O behavior of applications; trusted I/O
both for cloud and for mobile systems; and low overhead and reliable
device access in the mobile or embedded domains.
While I/O systems have a long history of using abstraction to shield
applications from the intricacies of devices and storage systems, this
workshop's focus is on the interplay of I/O with virtualization and
cloud technologies. Our goal is to provide a forum to discuss the impact
and challenges of I/O virtualization along multiple dimensions,
including: the application domains in which virtualized solutions are
used and the subsystems involved; platform or hardware support for I/O
virtualization; the virtual machine monitor; the guest operating system;
the processor, GPU, memory, and I/O subsystems. Also of interest are
higher-level virtualization solutions, such as those concerning API
virtualization, new virtual I/O APIs like those used for cloud storage,
and innovative approaches to device virtualization in cloud computing
and in the mobile domain.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Hardware support for I/O virtualization
* Novel I/O device architectures for virtualization
* New software approaches to I/O virtualization
* Hardware and software methods for I/O device emulation
* Para-virtualized I/O device driver design for virtualization
* Virtual machine monitors' support for I/O
* Security and trust considerations for virtualized I/O, including hardware support
* Energy-efficient I/O virtualization
* Virtualized I/O in the cloud: API virtualization, challenges of
large-scale I/O (performance, availability)
* Virtualization mechanisms for datacenter networking
* I/O monitoring and black box methods or system support for such functions
Paper submissions are due Monday, March 21, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. PST.
Submissions guidelines and more information can be a found at
WIOV '11 will be part of USENIX Federated Conferences Week, which will

Shasta Route OP session
Monday, May 25, 2009 at 01:06AM
Yesterday I had the privilege of operating on the HO scale Shasta Route. Set in 1952, it runs from Redding in Northern California up through Dunsmuir yard (photo on right). to Klamath Falls. CTC from Redding to Black Butte then runs Time Table and Train Orders (TT&TO) from Black Butte to Klamath Falls. about 15 crew members spent most of Saturday operating. I ran helper engines up and down the mainline. mostly big Cab Forward steam engines.
Here are more photos.
Just posted video of helpers on Shasta Route:
