Empty and untamed, the massive southern portion of South America known as Patagonia is a land of endless steppe-like plains, jagged pinnacles and blue-white glaciers that stretches all the way to Cape Horn, the southernmost point in the Americas. The few human residents work on sheep estancicas (ranches); the true residents are wild guanacos and condors, Tierra del Fuego's sea lions, elephant seals and whales, and the tens of thousands of penguins that rook near Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. From the awesome sight of a glacier calving huge ice walls into a milky white lake, through the barren pampas to fairy-tale Bariloche, nestled in the Andes, Patagonia is stark and stunning, a place to come to feel insignificant in the face of Nature.

just interested what people are doing.
For a long time, I've been fairly comfortably doing about 250kms/week, trying to squeeze in a necessary rest day as well. I've been doing that consistently for a couple of years.
More recently, I've been pushing up to 300km/week, but I have rarely succeeded in finding the time/energy to reach the higher target. I needed a rest day today - my body demanded it - so with tomorrow's ride I'll be close to 300 but again just short. With all my rides over 30kph/ave, 300km/week feels like a bit of a limit at the mo.
Just interested in what other 'fairly serious recreational road cyclists' get up to per week, and at what pace as well.
The question is about KM's per week right? With comments about average speeds...I would have thought its a training question (riding further, faster,etc). There is a common theme with a lot of people struggling for time with family, work, etc.
I train 14+Hrs a week and I could not find the time to ride out to Murray bridge on any day. Quite a number of cyclist need to have their long ride done and dusted in 3 to 4hrs max.
If you have limited time quality and consistency IS the key. Not me preaching just relaying what is commonly accepted in the sporting world and verified week after week.
I cycle nearly everywhere but my commute is short because I live near the city and within short distance of everything. I rarely add the bike computer to record my short distances. The way I look at is, how few times have I driven rather than cycle? Took the car out on 10-Sep-2012, before a cycling accident in Oct which vetoed cycling and driving for some time. Yesterday I drove the car for the first time in 7 months, although I aim to drive every 4 weeks to keep the vehicle going.
It would seem to me that people ride because they are motivated to do so. That motivation varies between indeviduals and is their own personal reason. What some people have not ralised is that a personal motivation can change and that you need to know that it has so that you can realign your riding to satisfy that motivation.
If you want to ride more then you already have the motivation and you just need to work out how you can fit that into your life. If that means getting out of bed at 4am a couple of days a week, taking on a challenge like often seen on Strava or finding a group of people or a riding partner that has like goals can often help.
If your goal is competative then training programs are the only way to go if it is not then they are purely a chor!
Personally I have a mix of both, I have competative instincts but my body does not have the competative drive so I ride for social reasons and add challenges from Strava to satisfy my competative instints. I do not enjoy any aspect of training programs so will simply not follow one. I want to enjoy my riding and when I stop doing that it could be the time I stop riding.
I have only been riding for 8 months and at this stage feel I will continue to ride for a long time to come but I simply don't know as ones feelings can change at any moment!
Bottom line, if you want to ride more, find a way to do so rather than thinking you should ride more because others are !
+1 Steven.
I rode 460k for May and 705k in April. My 5 minute wattage varies about 8-10% over the year going from 5 watts per kg to approx 5.3 at peak fitness.
When you eat clean and train with a power meter you don't have to do much training relevant to your individual goals.
If I include my work rides, around 200km a week depending on the weather. It's been shocking of late so my normal Sunday rides and Wednesday Lofty mornings have been left wanting ... so 100km a week has been my recent norm.
I'd be looking at about 200km/week. 50-80k's of day to day commuting and the like, which I don't record (but it's a 5k commute to uni/town each way, and I'll often do it twice in a day) plus a solid ride in the week and another on the weekend (which I record with strava) usually both are 60-80k's each. It's been less in the last month as I've been studying for exams, but my biggest week would have been about 350k's.
My proper riding is almost all hills, and I aim to be climbing 2.5-3km weekly.

Jewelry Etiquette: Don't do to your ring that which you wouldn't do to your husband
You just got engaged. Your neighbors are drooling; your best friend is suffering from a major depression and your coworkers are plotting against you. This is because you have the most beautiful ring that makes them all green with envy. Are you ready to take care of your new shiny pebble? Did you take a jewelry safety course or attend a jewelry care seminar? It's not taught at your home-EC class either. Hopefully we can shine the light on the subject.
The undeniable elegance and grace of modern micro pavé jewelry are certain to draw the eye of anyone who happens to see it. However, these delicate pieces do require extra care and love on the part of their owner. At times, though the passion for your jewelry might burn with desire, a certain level of neglect might ruin the relationship.
The Clapper
It's the last few minutes of the Super Bowl. Eli is just about to throw the game winning ball. Or perhaps Welker is just about to drop a ball. Your fiancé is screaming and jumping much like the rest of the stadium. Finally, the ball is thrown and the whole stadium explodes. You are excited. You are frantically applauding. And your new engagement ring is crying with pain. Why? Unknown to you it's being bombarded with hundreds of hits by a right hand ring you got from an old sweetheart in high school (you probably lied and told your fiancé that it's a gift from your sister). When your hands meet during the applause your ex's ring extols its revenge on your engagement ring. The back of your ring get's smashed at a rate of 4 hits per second. It could be 14 hit per second if you are Kent French – the world's fastest clapper (See the video here) It's like hundreds and hundreds of small hammers beating the back of your ring. Chances are the ex's ring is a hefty flea market type, so your exquisite micro pavé ring is no match in terms of resiliency. It takes just one Metallica concert (or six Kenny G performances) to clap your engagement ring away. Be smart about it – the rule of thumb is: no two rings should meet with exception of a bunch of stack-able bands.
The Knucklehead
Here is a conversation at a jewelry counter repeated in this form or another more than once or twice.
- I expect to wear my ring every day. I am an active person and do a lot of physical activities. I travel, I garden, and I exercise. Regardless, I do not want to take it off my finger for any reason. This is the way I am. Besides, if I don't have the ring somebody just might assume that I am still single!
The salesperson:
- No problem at all, you can wear it non-stop, it's really well made. It's a quality item, not the cheap knockoff you would buy on 47th Street….
The salesperson just told her a lie. In order to close the sale, the salesperson will say whatever the customer wants to hear. Heck, if he is getting a commission he will also agree that the black color looks pretty much white. In fact black might be even slightly whiter in tone – it all depends on the lighting. A reputable salesperson will not hesitate telling the inconvenient truth: micro pavé jewelry although not fragile, still has to be worn with more care than plain-vanilla non-pavé jewelry.
In your life (ideally) you get only one engagement ring. Choosing its style is difficult because you have to assess your lifestyle many years into the future to make sure that it's appropriate for just about every situation you might find yourself – casual or formal.
Imagine having to wear only one dress until the rest of your life. Which one would you choose: an evening gown or jeans? That is essentially a choice you make when you choose your engagement ring. An evening dress is the equivalent of a micro pavé ring. It combines feminine elegance with delicate construction. A pair of khakis might stand for a plain solitaire. Do you prefer to show up at work wearing a sheer designer dress or have a romantic dinner at a fancy restaurant sporting sturdy overalls?
The answer seems to be simple, but it's not. Unfortunately there is no "in-between" option; it's either one or the other. To find a balance between the beauties of a delicate micro pavé ring versus durability of a shopping mall clunker we have to walk a fine line. In our work at Leon Mege we tend to be drawn to the side of beauty at the expense of strength. Delicate but beautiful micro pavé does require some amount of sacrifice. However, in the age of Botox and Brazilian bikini wax, keeping your ring's surroundings under constant surveillance is not asking for much.
In order not to be sorry later one must be reasonable in his/her expectations and take three necessary steps:
- Choose your jeweler like you were to choose your plastic surgeon. Even experienced jewelers might lack understanding and expertise in this narrow field. A talent plus experience in setting micro pavé will be your best bet against future disappointment.
- Choose your setting wisely. Caring for your ring is a task similar to caring for a plant – it has to be constant, you can't stop watering it for a month and expect it to survive. Or get a jewelry equivalent of a cactus – a plain solitaire. It will withstand harsh treatment better than a ring with pavé. You still should remove it when going bowling, kick-boxing or mechanical bull riding. See pictures.
- Listen to your jeweler's advice. You are entitled to a clear and detailed risk assessment by your jeweler. Downplaying the potential risk in order to get the job is not an acceptable strategy.
Choose jewelry which aligns with your lifestyle and comfort zone. Its longevity depends on your care and constant awareness. It's not an appliance.
It's impossible to avoid contact between your ring and hard objects in a course of a day, but this is not what is required. By being alert and conscious one can wear a micro pavé ring for 20-30 years and it will look like new. However, if the advice is not heeded, evidence of damage might become noticeable within few weeks.
Very few people admit of being clumsy or rough with their jewelry. They might not even be aware of it. The damage to jewelry goes beyond the usual dents and scuffs. The ring might get bent, warp, have loose or lost stones or even break apart. The usual cause – mistreatment, abuse, rough handling, applying excessive force, and/or friction (more on friction here: Engagement Ring Hand: Right or Left).
The moment you forget the ring is on your finger is the moment that will be the beginning of its demise. By being naturally cautious of your movements and actions you will avoid a lot of headaches in the future.
The Little Not So White Lie
- Yes!!! – was your answer. You cried in happiness and disbelief. You knew, of course, that he is going to propose (really – is there any woman who doesn't?). He knew, of course, that his male baldness pattern calls for at least two carats. You got a huge rock in a beautiful custom designed mounting. He put a lot of thought and effort into designing the perfect ring just for you! The prongs are griping the diamond with their tiny claws as if they are trying to spirit it away and its kaleidoscopic skin is clad in brilliant scales – just like you had envisioned in your dreams!
Your new ring is in front of you cradled in a genuine English leather ring box, embossed with a Leon Mege logo. The whole room is lit by its glare and your cat is confused feeling he is being attacked by an army of little bright circles. The diamond casts a rainbow on a fresh bouquet of flowers as well as the Leon Mege Certificate of Authenticity. Some call it Heaven, some call it Nirvana. The proper medical term is Post Engagement Ecstasy Syndrome. The typical treatment includes filing a joint tax return.
Suddenly the door bell rings.
- It's him, it's him!!! Your heart is racing. Your (slightly balding, yet beloved) newly minted fiancé has finally arrived to spend a romantic evening saturated with exaggerated assurances and enough loving clichés to make people married for few years sick to their stomach.
You are trying to beat the cat to the door to greet him and, "Oh No!!!!", something hard is under your foot and your body, admittedly small, yet still five more pounds to lose (damn ice cream!), has already shifted its mass, crushing the object under its weight. You see in horror that due to all the commotion your beautiful ring was accidentally knocked down on the floor and stepped on… Your heart sinks, you are ready to faint…
It takes guts admitting to giving a French kiss to the cute bartender in Amsterdam. Admitting that you just destroyed the very symbol of his love takes even more guts. You can accept responsibility for what just happened or use the seemingly innocent way out:
"Honey, you know, I just noticed that one tiny stone is missing from my new ring… Please call the jeweler, maybe he can fix it quickly." You forgot to mention that the ring looks more like a pancake at a Lion's club breakfast. Who cares – once the ring is sent back to jeweler you have the perfect alibi, "I didn't do anything…" or "I don't know what happened…" Sometimes the best defense is the attack: "It was like this when I got it!"
We know you are not that person. But if you ever meet her please ask her to call Leon. I am still waiting for that call.
Wear & Tear or Wear Till Tear?
With the exception of jewelry containing spring loaded, mechanical parts such as locks, clasps etc. jewelry is usually one solid piece of metal. It could be a composite if there is any pavé. There are soldering and welding joints, of course but in most cases a ring is infinitely simpler in construction than, for example, a smart phone. If there are any hidden defects they will manifest within a week of two. The defects are usually cracks or stones getting loose. It is the manufacturer's responsibility to reset stones and use a laser welder to fix cracks. Once the ring is worn more than a month it's safe to assume that any new problem is related to unkind wear. As upsetting as it sounds the only person who could be blamed for the damage is the owner.
It's a customer relationship nightmare to explain to a customer that her jewelry wearing habits is what is causing the damage. Some people feel embarrassed, some get belligerent. Surprisingly the great majority of people while still upset are reasonable and fair in understanding the situation. The usual course of action is to repair or completely re-make the ring followed by a stern warning to change your wearing habits. Alternatively you might opt to change the setting completely, usually a solitaire or a three stone ring.
You should not feel bad about it. In the course of life there are many events beyond your control. Your jeweler is like a family doctor – you go see him no matter how embarrassing or mundane your problem is. Your trusted jeweler will always reward your customer loyalty by performing a repair at little or no cost or assisting in filing the insurance claim.

- The Yankees were still buzzing about Jorge Vazquez's tape-measure home run that cleared the center-field batters eye at Steinbrenner Field. Girardi said that it is possible that Vazquez could work his way into the mix that the Yankees are considering Eric Chavez for, a backup corner infielder.
- Chavez is playing first base today because, as Girardi said, he already knows Chavez can play third base. All those Gold Gloves aren't just for show.
- There are 32 days until Opening Day.

Let's go YANKEES!
Can?t wait to see Jesus!
Nova's the guy I think will surprise everyone. I like this kid big time.
His success won't surprise me.
1st at bat for Jesus looked pretty good. Made the pitcher work hard and ended up hitting it hard.
That was a rocket!
If Nova can expand those 2 innings into 6 each start, he could win 20 this year.
Computer shut down so I missed Grandy's HR. What timing!
Howard pulled a Buckner!
Computer keeps shutting down. I tried 2 other laptops and can't get the game. Going back to the original computer and hope it stops shutting down. I've missed every run and the "Buckner!"
There's that Vazquez bat again!
That?s all folks!!!
With this computer shutting down, l missed every run except the Vazquez bomb. This guy really could be a player.

An up-to-date look at free software and its makers
Projects on the Move
Free software at the movies: Thanks to projects such as Blender and Synfig Studio, fans of animated movies now have the right choice of tool. The "Social Media Guide" suggests how to improve the marketing of free software projects on the web.
Take an old Russian fairy tale with a beautiful woman, a prince, a baddy, and a witch, add loads of action and technobabble, and – hey presto – you have a new cartoon for geeks. "Morevna" is the heroine's name and also the name of the project that has set itself the target of creating a full-length animated movie working only with open source software [1].
Open Source Anime
Implementing movie projects with free software is nothing new. Major production companies discovered the Linux operating system for themselves years ago, and the list of movies under free licenses is getting longer. "Big Buck Bunny" [2], "Elephants Dream" [3] and many other cartoons created with Blender [4] are a joy to behold and a convincing demonstration of the software's features.
The Morevna team has already released initial demos of the planned movie. The storyboard, characters, and score have already been posted on the project homepage and wiki (see Figure 1), and they are accompanied by a crop of tutorials and a whole bunch of illustrative material to help anybody interested in doing so to familiarize themselves with the tools the project uses.
Software in Flux
The project contributors use Synfig Studio [5] for 2D and Blender for 3D animations; images are created in GIMP and Krita. The creative minds behind the Morevna team state in their blog that they intend both to provide exhaustive feedback to the developers of the programs in question and to help improve the software through their tests.
The Morevna developers offer modified versions of Synfig Studio and Blender on their website, where you can find a variety of Debian and RPM packages for 32- and 64-bit systems, along with the source code. Besides the Morevna versions of the programs, the packages include required libraries and a note to the effect that security updates are not possible for all included libraries. Anybody interested in installing this bundle should consider setting up a test environment to do so. All of the libraries referred to are copied to the /opt/synfig/lib directory. This approach is not recommended: If every new program installed on Linux did this, we would soon have a crop of different versions of single libraries.
The team has made the development of the movie transparent to outsiders – a praiseworthy decision. The movie makers' blogs and wiki contain useful guides and a multitude of examples that people can follow and learn from (see Figures 2 and 3). If you are looking for more basic material, the tutorials on the Synfig Studio and Blender websites are good places to start. With much to see and learn, you have a perfect project for long, gray winter evenings.
Social Networking
Giving and taking, exchanging views and experience, establishing and maintaining contacts – networks are becoming increasingly important. Whether private or business related, social media are almost omnipresent. People twitter and blog; the web is full of video, photo, and music portals, and not just as a pleasant way of spending leisure time. Many companies are investing in "Social Media Marketing" to boost their popularity and the numbers of visitors to their websites and to attract new customers.
According to Lydia Pintscher, Community Manager with Amarok, free software projects should also exploit the popularity and advertising punch of social media. In her "Social Media Guide For Free Software Projects," she calls on free projects not to hide away in their developer labs, but to present the "human side of free software" [6]. Communication is the key to success: if developers encouraged typically inactive consumers to contribute to projects, rather than keeping to themselves, everybody would benefit.
In her guide, Pintscher suggests setting up news pages, microblogs, and networks. Very few of them are likely to thrill the fans of free software, and it is only to be expected that the comments on the blog entry contain some criticism [7]. On the other hand, the many positive reactions and words of encouragement also show that many people are prepared to think outside the box. The media Pintscher suggests attract millions of visitors every day, and there is nothing wrong with providing people with information on free software and generating more awareness for the subject.

Grub getting grubby
Apparently, I'm on my third release of Gutsy. How do I know? Well, when I boot up, Grub has 6 entries for Ubuntu. There's a regular entry and a recovery entry for each version of Ubuntu that's installed. This is yet another difference between Linux and Windows. Apparently, you can have different versions of the OS installed at the same time and switch between them.
Anyway, I have no desire to do such so, I found a little help to clean all that grubbiness out of Grub (not to mention saving some space on my hard drive!).
So all you need to do according to a comment on this howtogeek post, you just need to run Synaptic package manager and search for everything called "linux-image" and see what's installed. You'll notice your good friends, the old versions of Ubuntu happily installed. Anyway, select them for complete removal and you'll save a couple hundred megs of hard drive space.
While you're at it, according to arsgeek all you need to do is run sudo apt-get autoclean to get rid of other cruft that's old and no longer needed. I tried the deborphan stuff on that page and it did not seem to do anything. The autoclean worked like a charm though.

RB has two "Somebody to Love" - Jefferson Airplane and Queen.
A quick scan of Wiki DLC (+ some memory from RBN + exports) shows two songs each named "Control", "Burn", "Down", "Fire", "Gone", "Forever", "Pain", "Photograph", "Pressure", "Supersonic", "Monster", "Walk", "Young"... two named "Days Go By", two named "It's My Life", there's a "DOA" and a "D.O.A.", counting AC/DC there's two "Jailbreak (Live)" (yes, both live).
Outside RB-world, Wiki lists 13 distinct songs named "Since You've Been Gone" - including Fine Young Cannibals, Weird Al Yankovic, Bobby Darin, Theory of a Deadman, The Four Tops, Aretha Franklin, Powderfinger... and that's not counting Russ Ballard's "Since You Been Gone" (famously covered by Rainbow), nor Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone".

When the controversy surrounding Jessica Alba's roots heated up last fall, we at Latina really wanted to get to the bottom of it. We wrote a passionate letter to Alba's publicist requesting an interview. Our thinking was that she needed to address her latinidad instead of all these random quotes that may or may not be true.
Carlos Mencia will perform in Kuwait next month as part of Operation MySpace, a music and comedy event on March 10 held by the social network for troops stationed in the small Middle Eastern country. Carlos will join Jessica Simpson and the Pussycat Dolls, along with several others, for the event. The idea, of course, is to the bring the troops a taste of home and show that America supports them.
He may have been auf'd just before the Fashion Week finale, but Project Runway's Ricky Lizalde isn't going quietly.

Penilaian Tetamu Hotels.com
Penilaian Pengembara TripAdvisor
We rented two rooms for a weekend for four people in our family. The house was quite nice, well maintained, and comfortable. Julia was very friendly and... helpful. The neighborhood is really nice, it's easy to park (which isn't the case in a lot of Vancouver), and there's business districts with good restaurants in easy walking distance to the north and south. We didn't try out the public transit, but some of the other folks staying at the hotel at the same time had, and it wasn't too onerous to get downtown on the bus. There's both cold continental and hot food offered at breakfast, and the fridge, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker are available 24/7, along with cold cereal, beverages, and whatever else is in the refrigerator for guests to use. oleh Donna dari dari Philadelphia, PA pada 26/09/2013

Republican Roscoe Bartlett's unsuccessful bid for an 11th term appears to have been his last. CNN projects that he lost to Democrat John Delaney, a wealthy businessman. The long-time western Maryland representative was a target for Democrats who redrew the district last year. As a result, his once-safe seat now stretches from the state's westernmost point to include a piece of heavily Democratic Montgomery County and reaches almost to the District of Columbia border.
Massachusetts 4: Joe Kennedy III (D) vs. Sean Bielat (R)
Open Democratic-held seat
After a two-year absence, the famed Kennedy family once again has an elected representative in national politics.
Joe Kennedy III will serve Massachusetts' 4th District, having handily defeated GOP opponent Sean Bielat, according to a CNN projection. The seat became open when longtime Democratic Rep. Barney Frank, who has been a leading proponent of financial regulations, announced this year that he was retiring.
Kennedy is the 32-year-old grandson of slain Sen. Robert Kennedy of New York. His great-uncles are the late President John F. Kennedy and long-time Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, who died in office in 2009.
Joe Kennedy's second cousin, Democratic Rep. Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island, left office in January 2011, ending his family's 64-year streak of service in the U.S. Congress.
Joe Kennedy is a former prosecutor and Peace Corps member; Bielat is a businessman and Marine Corps reservist.
Massachusetts 6: Rep. John Tierney (D) vs. Richard Tisei (R)
Rep. John Tierney, an eight-term incumbent, won re-election, CNN projected, despite being dogged by a financial scandal involving his wife and her brothers and an illegal gambling operation.
Minnesota 6: Rep. Michele Bachmann (R) vs. Jim Graves (D)
Tea party favorite Michele Bachmann won re-election, CNN projected. She was considered a shoo-in for re-election when she folded up her presidential campaign in January. Ten months later, Bachmann still had the advantage but she faced a tough challenger in Jim Graves, a wealthy businessman. Graves waged a competitive race in October, spending $1.2 million in TV ads, compared with $1.7 million for Bachmann. The conservative congresswoman had never posted huge numbers on Election Night, but redistricting made her district slightly more Republican.
Nevada 4: Steven Horsford (D) vs. Danny Tarkanian (R)
New district
Democrat Steven Horsford, the state senate majority leader, bested Republican Danny Tarkanian, a businessman and son of UNLV basketball coaching legend Jerry Tarkanian.
New Hampshire 1: Rep. Frank Guinta (R) vs. former Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D)
Republican Frank Guinta lost to Democrat Carol Shea-Porter in the battle for New Hampshire's 1st Congressional District. Shea-Porter was elected in the Democratic wave of 2006 and served two terms before losing to Guinta in 2010.
New Hampshire 2: Rep. Charlie Bass (R) vs. Ann McLane Kuster (D)
Republican incumbent Charlie Bass lost to Ann McLane Kuster. Kuster had lost to Bass in the general election in 2010 but ran again and outraised Bass. The Democrat far outspent her opponent on the airwaves even though the national Republican Party invested funds on behalf of Bass.
New York 24: Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle (R) vs. former Rep. Dan Maffei (D)
Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle was elected in the Republican wave of 2010 and lost on Tuesday to the man she defeated two years ago. Democrat Dan Maffei, a longtime Capitol Hill staffer, won this upstate New York district in 2008 after it had been in Republican hands for almost 30 years. He lost the seat to nurse and tea party favorite Buerkle in one of the closest House races in 2010. The two had been evenly matched in fund-raising and TV ad spending. The district leans slight more Democratic.
North Carolina 7: Rep. Mike McIntyre (D) vs. David Rouzer (R)
Democrat Mike McIntyre ran a competitive race despite a newly redrawn district that skews heavily Republican. The Republican nominee was David Rouzer, a state senator. McIntyre, an eight-term incumbent, led in fund-raising and kept even with ad spending by pro-Republican outside groups and the national Republican Party. Rouzer stayed off the airwaves. Like fellow southern Democrat John Barrow in Georgia, McIntyre showed strong signs of life in a district that appeared to have been drawn to end his career. A winner has not been yet projected.
Ohio 9: Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D) vs. Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher (R)
Samuel Wurzelbacher, better known as "Joe the Plumber," became a conservative icon in the 2008 presidential race when he challenged then-candidate Obama on tax policy at a campaign event. Republican John McCain even mentioned him during the third presidential debate. But four years later, Wurzelbacher's run for Congress was foiled by 15-term incumbent Democrat Marcy Kaptur.

As the January Cure progresses and organization and decluttering have taken center stage, I've begun dreaming of teeny, tiny homes! I'd love the challenge of doing an extreme edit of my belongings — but with a husband and three (soon to be four) boys, I won't be living in less than 200 square feet anytime soon. Still, I love small homes and their high level of efficiency — here are some of my favorites! 1. The interior of this little 125 square foot dwelling is just gorgeous, and looks a lot more expansive thanks to the white palette and decorative touches; from ProtoHaus
2. This small space in Asheville, NC is stick-built, and a lot of the work was done by the homeowner himself. He does a great job describing his thought process and the outcomes of his choices on the Tiny House Blog.
3. This little house — the Harbinger — is just the cutest thing ever… and it can even fit a queen size bed! You can even buy the plans to build it yourself from the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company.
4. You may remember this little place from Christopher & Merete's House Tour; I still love the warm industrial feel of their tiny home.
5. This little place from Tiny House UK looks so cozy and comfortable… and it's completely portable!
6. I love all the salvaged wood (with original paints and stains!) on the outside of this tiny house, seen in Dwell.
7. Tammy's family (four people plus a dog!) made this 180 sq. ft. cabin work for them — and it not only works, it's unbelievably cute! Check out all her details and pictures in her Apartment Therapy House Tour.
8. Malissa's tiny retreat from the 2012 Small Cool Contest has stuck with me; I just love all the bare wood and the functionality of her space!
9. The Tall Man's Tiny House has extra high ceilings and doorways, and being rather tall myself, I'd love to live in a small space without feeling like I have to stoop to get around.
10. This little place from Leaf House is light, bright, and extreme cold friendly!

Abstract This article assesses the role of ICTs in the context of membership
participation and activism within political parties. It uses an online
survey of over 2000 UK Liberal Democrat party members to examine how
far the Internet/email can: (1) widen participation within political
parties by increasing the size of the membership and attracting new
groups to parties; (2) deepen participation by increasing levels of
activism within parties. The results of the survey indicate that whilst
ICTs may enable parties to reach younger voters and increase levels of
activism amongst the already active, the overall impact on
participation and internal party democracy is likely to be limited.

I need help in resizing my pictures. That is if I can figure out how to do them.lol Hugs, Linda | |||
I use a Mac, so for me it works to export my picture to the desktop in Jpeg format, and medium size (there also is a second line to select medium) save it with the name of your choice (resized) then select it like normal when you want to post it. Others use the program Paint, but I don't know which way that works. The directions always look complicated to me. Madelyn | ||||
If you have Windows7 you can go to your pictures, open the folder with the picture you want to resize, right click on the file name of the picture, choose resize, and select a size. ("Small" works well for the pictures I post here.) That will give you a smaller version of the same picture. It will initially appear at the bottom of the list of pictures so you have to scroll down to the bottom of the list in that file to find it initially. When you come back to the file later it will have been moved to just above the original. I used to use Paint but find this way much easier. | ||||
I do use Paint - but I import directly from my camera and resize before even saving it to my computer. Each camera is different for the percentage to resize to get below the maximum allowed here but once you know how much that it is - it's super simple. I haven't tried the resize functionality with Windows 7 - will give that a try for those times when I can't remember the term "Paint" - not even going to let you know how often that happens I can't get a shortcut on my Desktop for Paint for some reason so I always have to do a "search". I love having alternatives. | ||||
I find it easier to browse to my picture, right click on it, and select "open with.." Paint is right there in the list! ******************************** ROFL! LOL! Its a RR at the LQS! We're gonna make a bunch of HST and then practice our FMQ! What the heck does that mean?! Look here: http://boards.hgtv.com/eve/for...4011632/m/4553927667 | ||||
Thanks, I tried paint and it worked.... | ||||
Bozie, I tried to do that but there wasn't anything that said resize. Probably doing something wrong. Did get it resized in paint. Thanks. Hugs Linda | ||||
Linda, I'm glad you were able to get your picture resized. Not sure why the Windows7 didn't work for you. It's so much easier - might be worth another try. For me when I RIGHT click on a picture file name I get a dropdown menu with "Resize Pictures" as one of the choices. A left click on that gives me this screen. | ||||
When I right click on a photo I get a drop-down box the has "edit" on a long list. Click edit, and the photo opens in Paint. Wonder why it's different? Mine OS is also Win7 ~karen | ||||
I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager - much easier to work with then Paint. That program came with the MS Office Suite.. so if you have that software, you can search the MS Office Folder for Picture Manager. I have Windows Vista on this machine so don't get the drop down Bozie mentions.. | ||||
Karen, if I click "edit" in the drop down window the photo opens in Paint for me too. But if I click on "Resize Pictures" (seventh item in the list) I get the window for resizing. | ||||
No "resize pictures" here. Some are different. Maybe the different versions?This message has been edited. Last edited by: wildcatmom, ~karen | ||||
Here's what I get with a right click on the name of a file. Obviously different! | ||||
I do get a list that starts with "Open" if I right click on a folder name rather than a file name but the rest of the list still isn't the same as yours. | ||||
Just saw this on another thread that KC posted. It looks like an easy way to resize. http://www.resize.it/resize-portrait-photo.html | ||||
Thank you Fleur55 for reposting that site. l just tried it and it works wonderfully! ====================== l would be unstopable IF l could get started!!! | ||||
Bozie, apparently I don't know the difference between folder and file.... Wow, I am slow at all of this. Thanks for trying to assist me. Hugs, Linda | ||||
I use the program Irfanview. You can download it and install it for free. There is a feature to resize, plus it has all kinds of other editing feature (crop, remove red-eye, sharpen, change to black & white), etc. It's a little bit to get setup on your computer but it'll give you more versatility in the long run! Good luck with whatever method you choose! | ||||
I want to say thank you! This really helped me resize my pics. Usually my pics are so small & hard to see. Now they are great. Thanks!!! Sew, sew, and sew some more that's my motto! | ||||
Now, shequilts, lets get your avatar fixed! http://boards.hgtv.com/eve/for...703908957#2703908957 http://boards.hgtv.com/eve/for...203928067#2203928067 http://boards.hgtv.com/eve/for...693985957#5693985957This message has been edited. Last edited by: wildcatmom, ~karen | ||||

That avatar had way too many pixels so I used paint to reduce it to 88 x 113. I THINK it can be copied from my post, saved as it is there, then reposted here. Just checking. Yes, that works. So Shequilts, if you want a smaller version of your picture to use as your avatar you can just copy it from here (right click, choose save as, change the name or not as you wish, and save it to your computer) and use it as your avatar. This message has been edited. Last edited by: Bozie, | ||||

One-of-a-kind Razer systems exclusively available for in-store purchase at renowned retailer
CARLSBAD, Calif., Oct. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Razer™, the world leader in high-performance gaming hardware, software and systems, today announced that two of its prizewinning PC systems, the Razer Blade and Razer Edge Pro, are available for in-store purchase at Best Buy.
Both the Blade and Edge Pro will be featured in approximately 100 Best Buy locations nationally, including most major markets.
"Two years ago, Razer was known as a niche company that made the world's best gaming peripherals," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder, CEO and creative director. "Today, we are leading the charge in tablet and laptop innovation with systems available at Best Buy stores across the country. This is truly a gratifying day for our company and for gamers and computer aficionados alike."
The Blade is the thinnest and lightest 14-inch gaming laptop in history and it captured an Editor's Choice award from PC Mag this summer. Measuring just 0.66-inches thin, the Razer Blade packs more power-per-cubic-inch than any other laptop in the world.
The Razer Edge Pro, the world's most powerful tablet and the first designed for PC gamers, bested all comers at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), winning CNET's "Best of Show" and "People's Voice" awards amidst a competitive field of approximately 20,000 products. It also won several highly competitive distinctions from Popular Science, TechRadar and LAPTOP Magazine, among others.
Best Buy, one of the largest and most respected retail chains in the United States, will be the first U.S. retailer to sell Razer's award-winning computers, and the chain is an exclusive partner to sell the Blade and Edge Pro in-store nationwide.

I'm interested in finding out how people manage all the various inputs in their GTD system. These days you can get your inputs from social media, direct email, web browsing on bookmarking sites, etc. What inboxes / buckets do you use to collect all these inputs whether you're on the go, online or off, in front of your desk or not, etc.
What sort of techniques do you use to consolidate effectively, so you don't have too many 'inboxes' to check up on when you're processing? Do you feel there are any major gaps in your inbox collection?
Myself, I'm not on the GTD wagon these days as my work life is very different (I'm more a stay at home Dad). That said though, I'm sort of building a system now so I'd like to understand the collection process better considering how diverse inputs can be.

First off, I'd like to thank APS and Judgement Day for offering me the opportunity to log their supplements, CREATINE NITRATE and MESOMORPH.
I'm particularly excited about this because I've recently fallen in love with pre-workouts ever since I tried Jack3d, which in turn led me to try ASGT and once Mesomorph was released and after I read all the positive feedback on it, I became very interested in this product. Jack3d and ASGT are my current standards of quality as far as pre-workouts are concerned and I'm hoping Mesomorph lives up to or even exceeds those standards.
Creatine Nitrate is also something I've been incredibly interested in ever since it came out. Historically, I'm an old school guy who lives & breathes creatine mono as a tried and true form of creatine and I rarely venture out of plain & simple mono. Also, historically, I've not been a fan of the Arginine AKG based NO2 craze. However, I am always open to give something a first hand experience and I like what I've read in regards to Nitrates and NO2.
A Little About Me:
Primarily, I'm a bodybuilder like most everyone else here, with the exception that my workout partners happen to be amateur football and MMA athletes, therefore, along with my traditional muscle hypertrophy focused lifts, I also dabble in Olympic Lifts, such as the Olympic Snatch, Olympic Clean & Jerk and various accessory power driven lifts (power as in velocity centric, not 1RM squats and bench presses).
I'm looking forward to both of these products and thank you again APS and Judgement Day.
I was asked to post photos, but I don't have any, however, I do have some quasi-recent videos that I can post a compare and contrast to, so here's a little about me.
UPDATE: 15 days into Creatine Nitrate and Mesomorph video for the Olympic Hang Snatch PR attempts.
