Moonlighting is the new money maxim
December 13, 2013
New money wisdom doesn't come along very often — most advice about earning, spending and saving has been the same from the Bible to Benjamin Franklin. But a new financial imperative has slowly emerged in recent years: moonlighting.
Wisdom gleaned from money polls, studies
November 29, 2013
Amid this year's deluge of holiday spending surveys by companies trying to grab some attention, several other recent polls and studies are addressing arguably more important issues, such as financial bullying, money spent on financial literacy and whether "Made in USA" is better.
Mind over math: How best to erase debt?
November 15, 2013
In the debt-advice business, the most confounding question always seems to be: Which debts should consumers pay off first, ones with the highest interest rates or the smallest amounts?
Finding value in 'Made in the USA'
November 4, 2013
Accessories for the iPhone, bottle holders, lens cleaners, and dog collars and leashes were among items for sale by a Utah company on its website and by third-party sellers such as Amazon and REI. The company claimed products were "Made in the USA" and "Truly Made in the USA."
When to ask for, hand over money reins
October 18, 2013
Among the more difficult money challenges in life is knowing when to persuade an aging parent to hand over his or her checkbook — or, if you're the one in your golden years, when to ask for help managing your finances.
Turning conventional wisdom on its head
October 4, 2013
Sometimes conventional wisdom about money and spending can cost you, especially when it's sketchy or flat-out wrong.
Break the spell of spending mindlessly
September 23, 2013
In the wake of the Great Recession and now five years removed from the financial industry meltdown, have Americans changed their spending habits?
Strategies for paying less
September 7, 2013
Retailers spend a lot of time, money and effort to entice you to buy merchandise in their stores. And salespeople are skilled at persuading undecided shoppers to open their wallets, even when they hadn't intended to.
Useful mobile apps that can save you cash
August 23, 2013
Websites and smartphone apps can be tremendous resources for spending your money smarter. Problem is, so many new ones crop up that it's difficult to keep up.
Portals open path to back-to-school savings
August 8, 2013

Pros, cons of picking travel insurance
July 13, 2013
A close relative dies just before you leave for a Caribbean vacation, and you have to cancel your nonrefundable trip to attend the funeral. Or, you're hiking in the Alps, have an accident and need to be airlifted off a mountain.
Studies show how to be better consumers
June 28, 2013
Would you pay 50 percent more for "organic" firewood? Would you be more willing to buy a used refrigerator if it had an "attractive enamel-coated ferromagnetic exterior?" Would you be more likely to buy juice from a server with a British accent?

Driving down car debt commitment
April 20, 2013

Time and money are inexorably linked through our life stages.

Tiny print that tricks consumers, stuff that used to be free but isn't anymore and gadgets you can install on your car to reduce auto insurance premiums.
School of smarter spending
December 7, 2012
As we scurry about during the highest of all shopping seasons, our money habits will be on full display. Yet the motivations behind how we spend are often hidden, stemming from our most ancient and fundamental human tendencies.

Find truth in the fine print
November 26, 2012
Mouse print: It's the catch, the gotcha, the bait-and-switch.
Loyalty programs or bust
November 9, 2012
Air-travel lovers take note: If you're not flying free much of the time or flying in luxury — first-class seating, airline club lounges, free checked bags — you're probably not taking advantage of sophisticated strategies to supersize your frequent-flier miles on the cheap.
Safe driver? Consider telematics
October 26, 2012
Like in Lake Wobegon, the fictional place where all the children are above average, most people think they're above-average drivers.

Tax-free toast to your health
September 28, 2012

A season to save
September 14, 2012
"To every thing there is a season," says a passage in the Bible and, much later, lyrics to the hit song, "Turn! Turn! Turn!" made famous by the 1960s folk-rock band The Byrds.
Teaching kids about money
September 1, 2012
Older children want fancy cellphones, vehicles to get around and the latest video games and consoles. And, no doubt, some will want the new LeBron James basketball shoe by Nike that will reportedly sell for $315 per pair.
Giving your trash a purpose
June 22, 2012
Plastic soda bottles, old carpet, out-of-date phone books and lint from the clothes dryer are typical items you might find in any American's trash or recycling bin. For some, however, the line between trash and treasure is fine. They are on America's bandwagon for repurposing or "upcycling."
Get more mileage out of used bike
April 27, 2012
Like new cars, new bicycles depreciate dramatically the moment they leave the cycle shop. So buying used can be a better value for your money, especially if you can score a decent ride for less than $100.
Drive auto insurance lower
November 4, 2011
The ideal way to save money is to exert effort once and automatically reap savings over and over again, every month. That's why examining your car insurance makes a lot of sense.
Don't get taken for a ride on car repairs
September 2, 2011
For consumers, information is power. But smart shoppers can't be expected to be experts in all categories of buying. That's why one of the biggest benefits of using the Internet is to lift the veil of ignorance that leads to bad purchases.
New sites, apps that might be worth consuming
June 3, 2011
Technology is a huge help for consumers to spend money smarter.
Is it a good idea to lease?
May 31, 2011
Consumers who lease vehicles are confronted with a decision after a few years of ownership. Do I give back the car after the contractual lease period ends, or do I buy it?

Live Life for YOU. No one else. You are worth it.
This blog is committed to posting only positive, uplifting, inspiring images. My goal is to promote self love, confidence, and hope for those who are struggling with something…from depression to eating disorders, and everything in between. I have been there.
I have dealt with clinical depression, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, ED-NOS, self injury, and was suicidal many times. I also struggled (and still do, at times) with poor body image.
After a LOT of hard times and an even harder fight, I can honestly say that I am now in recovery.
There IS hope for happiness and health. Don't give up. I am here if anyone ever needs to talk.
You are ALL beautiful.

I have my aunt Lise and my cousin Karianne to thank for this recipe. They made it for our family BBQ and I fell in love with them! Granted, it was embarrassing to pull out my camera and spend 15 minutes trying to get the perfect shot of my food with my uncles, cousins and great-aunt watching… But I think it was worth it to share these with you.
Recipe :
Source: Adapted from Châtelaine, July 2011 (translated from French).
Yield: 12 pops
3/4 cups of coarse graham cracker crumbs
1 cup of heavy whipping cream (35%)
1/2 package of cream cheese (125 g) at room temperature
1/4 cup of honey
1 tbsp of lime juice
2 cups of strawberry slices (or fresh, pitted cherries – which is what the original recipe calls for)
12 small paper cups (80 ml or 1/3 cup in size – you can find these at Jean Coutu)
12 popsicle sticks
Place the paper cups on a baking sheet. Put 1/2 a tsp of graham crumbs in the bottom of each cup.
In a medium size bowl, whip cream for about two minutes or until soft peaks form. In another bowl, whip cream cheese for about tw minutes until it becomes fluffy. Gradually add the honey to the cream cheese while continuing to whip until you get a smooth texture. Incorporate lime juice and strawberries. Gently fold the whip cream and remaining graham crumbs into the cheese mixture until swirls appear.
Fill the paper cups and insert popsicle sticks. Place in freezer for 3 and a half hours or until frozen. To remove pops from the cups, push gently from the bottom.

As a pretense, let's wonder for a moment what might have been for WVU this season if TCU's two-point conversion pass in overtime hits the turf? Or what if a cornerback forces an Oklahoma receiver outside instead of giving up the slant and the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds of another loss?
Maybe the Mountaineers aren't in the Pinstripe Bowl to play a team that was far more excited to play WVU than WVU was to play Syracuse. Maybe WVU gets an opponent that doesn't have WVU's number on offense and defense and probably even on special teams and in coaching, too.
I know it's a reach, but it's the premise because it might be difficult or dumb to accept, let alone explain, WVU's Pinstripe Bowl loss was similarly structured. Two plays, two opportunities, two breaks that broke the Mountaineers.

"O.K., but...."
But, there was an odor in the bathroom, from beginning to end, that was not pleasant - similar to "stale" with no apparent cause. Coincidently (?), bathroom exhaust vent was very dirty.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Nice, but big issue"
Hotel was very nice, but my wife and I ran into a few issues. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and there was an awful sewage smell coming from the toilet. We tried to switch rooms but they we're running a full house that night. It was so bad we had to spray the restroom with cologne, shut the door, and stuff clothes under the door to keep the smell […] out. Other than this, the place was really nice. The fire pit was great and the hangout areas in the lobby were very relaxing. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Over priced"
Stayed here for parents day at SFA. We normally stay at the Super 8 in Nac. But, the rooms were all full. So we decided this would be the next best hotel. Wrong . We paid twice the price. The beds were so hard . No free breakfast. We left out the hotel to grab a bite to eat. Bad idea. There's one way in and one way out. It took us an additional 20 mins […] to get back in to the hotel. The eateries are a few minutes away.if you want to eat. Put some sneakers on and walk. Location is terrible. The only thing I can say nice is.. The hotel is clean and modern. The staff was unfriendly. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Ok but could some deep cleaning"
I have traveled to Lufkin several times and there are not a lot of choices regarding hotels there. The Courtyard was nice on the outside, modern decor, beds were comfortable. The daily cleaning seemed to be good as well. The reason for my lower rating was when you look closer there was a level of staining to the carpets, etc that just did not deserve […] a higher rating. On a positive note, if you find yourself in Lufkin do not hesitate staying here. You will be hard pressed to find better. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Comfortable, convenient and great service"
Our stay at the Lufkin Marriott was excellent. We were on our way from New Orleans to Dallas and this was a coonvenient stop for us. The hotel is comfortable and has all amenities. Service was outstanding. When we checked in we were not told that breakfast would be closed by 9:30am the following morning (and we had prepaid for breakfast). We came down […] by 10:00am and the girls at the reception desk called staff and still made us coffee and breakfast. Thank you! 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Favorite Place to stay in Lufkin/Nacogdoches area"
While the location of the hotel is a little off from the main highway and a little confusing to get to at night (even with GPS), the quietness was appreciated. Upon arrival, we were greated by very helpful front desk staff, information provided about area attractions we inquired about, and then shown to our room. Our room was very clean; the bedding […] and furniture is what sets the hotel apart from competitors. The bathroom was spotless and the bath linens were crisp, white and no soiling evident. The toiletries from Paul Mitchell were a pleasant surprise to us. The breakfast the next morning was very good; in fact, it excels above the competitors in the area and is consistently hot and well prepared. We are repeat customers who don't mind about bragging on this particular hotel--very well done! 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Msy be slightly over priced."
Overall room was ok. My husband, toddler, mother in law, and I stayed in a room with 2 queen beds. It was quiet, pretty clean, and convenient. The down side was the running toilet that wouldn't flush again until it stopped running. Also the bathtub needed to be rechaulked.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"SFA Great Hotel Stay"
The Lufkin Courtyard is a great place to stay. We attend many functions for SFASU and this hotel is by far the most comfortable place to stay. The beds and pillows are super comfortable - plenty of pillows too. The bathroom has plenty of space and shelves. There is not a continental breakfast, but the benefit is a very restful and comfortable stay.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"on the way back from nacadoches"

"Very disappointed"
For the price you pay I would have thought the room would be in better condition, writing on the bathroom wall, shower curtain rail not fully installed. Shower curtain not fully clipped in, cracks behind the bathroom toilet, peices of would wood chipped off of middle table cabinet. Nothing at all special for a hotel that is suppose to be a **** hotel […] I would have been better off at the holiday in down the street at least there I would have recieved a free continental breakfest 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Not sure I would stay there again....."
The hotel was nice and clean, but the beds were very uncomfortable. Our 7 year old even complained about the bed!!!!! Also, the next morning someone had loosened the bolts of our back tire. I assume they were going to steal it and got caught in the act and ran off. My husband almost had a wreck on the freeway when the tire fell off our vehicle, jumped […] two medians, and almost landed on the other side of the freeway. We are just glad that he is OK......So......when you park, make sure it is under a light in the front!!!!!! 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Neurobiologist from the FMI show how a network of neurons in hippocampus and cortex switches states to turn on and off learning in the adult. They further show how a stimulating environment promotes this switch, and thus learning. Their findings are published today in the renowned journal Nature and have far reaching implications also for diseases where learning and memory is impaired, such as Alzheimer's or dementia.

As a decision maker in my startup I want to be better informed when contracting someone for a service, especially.
Years ago I was led to believe anyone with a computer and good eye could easily make a logo within an hour for a couple of bucks, but through the years I have learned about the process of creating a symbolic representation for a company requires rigorous research, brainstorming and more that an hour.
To save me years of learning something the long way, I currently search online for information on who does the service and how they do it ,but the how can get quite consuming, and not sure if this is enough to keep me well informed.
There is a lot of us that face this problem especially in startup where you might need a lawyer, accountant and other professionals and know nothing but a basic understanding of what they might do.
What are the key questions I should try to answer when making research online on a foreign service?

New song Difficult Child: hear it & read Tim's description
Keane's new single - Sovereign Light Café - is out this week. It features a brand new B-side, Difficult Child, which you can get from iTunes here or from Island Tunes here. We asked Tim to tell us a bit more about the song, which you can preview above...
I like the fact that the lyrics of this song are slightly schizophrenic. Or maybe 'conflicted' would be a kinder way to put it. They're very male.
A slightly geeky factette is that with the line "I thought that you'd be waiting like a soldier's queen", I was thinking of the story of Odysseus and Penelope.
We recorded a lot of this in hotel rooms on our recent US tour - mainly in Lincoln, Nebraska and Salt Lake City, Utah. I remember in Salt Lake that because the hotel room was basically our dressing room for the gig there was a lady posted to stand guard outside the room all day. By the time Tom had sung his vocal about 50 times and I had then gone in and belted out a load of weird, high-pitched backing vocals, the poor woman looked pretty traumatised. Ah the glamour...
Comments (36)
I think this song is like a lullaby.. and Tom's voice is just lovely and cute.. is so peaceful, one word: perfect! I'm from PARAGUAY and I'm so excited waiting for august 23th, only three days until they're here and I'm going crazy! hahahaha thanks for choice Paraguay, we were waiting for KEANE for a long time. I LOVE YOU TOM! I HOPE YOU READ THIS SOMEDAY AND ANSWER ME! hahahahaha and TIM! you're a BLOCKBUSTER! ;)
Tim is genious.
amazing as always!! i love it!!!!!!!! thanks for your music guys!!!!!!!!! i love you so much!!
Ill download in this moment. Thanks guys for the song, in my opinion is not the best of you (in melody) but the letter is really good, Tim, like always. I think the same, well i mean , in the same novel. LOL love and hugs from Mexico. 23 days for the best day of my life, your concert. Lorena Cantu♥
Here again, I agree with Gudrun ! I like the beginning, but the chorus...hum.......For once I won't militate for that B-side, she deserves her place, sorry. I still miss the UTIS melancholy...
Hola chicos. He estado fuera en Viena y no he podido escribir. Parece ser que Police comentaba Sting que había dos canciones que no les costaba coger el ritmo y supongo que también las repetían muchas veces. Deben ser canciones complejas Tim. Se nota que Tom ha mudurado musicalmente. Y esta canción parece toda igual pero no es así. El órgano, el ritmo casi diria country y Tim haciendo la segunda voz y con el sonido de tu piano. Es hacer simple lo complejo. Yo también la he de escuchar varias veces. Tim espero verte en Razzmatazz en Barcelona. Ojalá pueda verte de cerca firmando autógrafos. Te aprecia Marisa Barcelona. Petons.
♥♥ HERMOSA CANCION ♥♥ ...................... tom tim richard y jesse los amoo SON LOS MEJORES Y LO SERAN SIEMPREEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the drums in the beginning and Tom´s voice, like Sabrina said, the chorus I find a bit ...eh ... boring, as a chorus normally should be the part of the song that you can´t get out of your head...
Sono veramente contenta di sentire la B-side del singolo Sovereign Light Cafe', trovo questa song Difficult Child molto dolce e allo stesso tempo ben ritmata, mi piace l'inizio con solo la batteria e poi all'improvviso arriva la potente e sorprendente voce di Tom che regala un tocco di magia al brano!!! Grazie anche a te Tim per averci spiegato cosa significa, riconosco pienamente il tuo stile in questo brano! !!Complimenti ragazzi, come sempre mi regalate tantissime emozioni, le vostre canzoni sono una più bella dell'altra! Un saluto da Sabrina da Catania, SICILY!!!
I don't think that behaving like a tool and stuffing things up is a particularly male trait, I think it's something we all do, male or female, part of the human condition.
Tim you are in a unickly way the most talented musician and songwriter in the world! Great song, wonderful melody,amazing lyrics and beautiful bass line! You are the best!
Hi keane!!♥ I love this song!!!!♥♥♥♥ is very beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aguanteeeeeeeeeeeeee keaneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the best!!!!!♥♥ I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!melisa from Argentina!
Great Songs! :)
Absolutely love Difficult Child!
Tim you are mistaken, the guard woman just witenessed how you guys are very talented and devoted professionals. Surely, after this, she decorated the whole song and became more a fan of Keane. Congratulations for more a great work.
"Story of Odysseus and Penelope" >>>Keane is culture too ;) And "Ah the glamour..." >>>Laughters I ♥ you, guys! Kisses from Brazil
Ame la cancion es simplemente genial y me ha inspirado mucho a escribir la letra es majestuosa en verdad, justo la inspiracion perfecta que necesitaba =D
I already loved this b-side, but knowing that it was (partly) recorded here in Salt Lake makes me love it even more! It's awesome that the b-side for SLC was recorded in SLC! :) Thanks, Tim! Come back soon, boys!
je vous souhaite que cette nouvelle chanson connaise le même succès que les seize autres qui composent STRANGELAND
SALUT TIM°° comment ne pas faire une chanson merveilleuse quand on a commme source d' inspiration une des plus belle histoire de la mythologie grecque( ULYSE ET PENELOPE ) )ton esprit crèateur est constament en èbulition**jamais tu n'arrêtera de nous suprendre BRAVO !!et MERCI !pour ce joli texte ** de plus interprèté par TOMY c'est encore gènial
Difficult Child is a lovely song :)
Have you been living in my house? The whole of the Strangeland album reflects aspects of the trauma I experienced a few months ago..... so listening to you and Tom 'belt' a song out would have been a pleasure not a trauma at all....
I love this song, and the lyrics! Timmy, you're amazing! Greetings from Chile
Thank you for having explained the meaning of "Difficult child", which I find a pure beauty. I have to say that I felt it as a "transparent" song, the melody almost like a lullaby, as someone also said before me...but yes, it does make all the sense. It's lovely of you to give us the chance to "enter" a bit more "deeply" in the "World of Keane's Music", mainly the meaning of the lyrics, which are so rich in all terms and which I absolutely adore. Thank you so much once again*
Wow, I like it. It's got a Springsteen "Nebraska" feel, recorded in Nebraska. Everything just fell right into place. It turned out great.
Terrific song! I have to say, I love hearing the bass guitar so clearly. Great job, guys! Cheers! ...Sherry W., Michigan, USA. @sambawoman .
This song is very special, I liked Tim's comments, very weird but interesting. Beijos, Regina.
Thanks a bunch Tim. I had a feeling that line was about Odysseus and Penelope as I had to study that Myth in school. I was left with that image of her waiting for him to return, even when she thinks he's dead. If only everyone were that loyal. Anyways, I am really liking the song you all did a great job, especially Jesse with the mixing. Thanks again.
Tim - I am working my way through the Strangeland cd and we got to Neon River the other day and my 10 year old son turned around to me and said " that Tim is a genius" He made my day as my daughter loves that Justin Bieber guy (don't know where I went wrong!) Oh well it takes every kind of people to make this world go round.
I really love this song and am so pleased you explained the meaning behind it as it did make me wonder, as all of your songs do!! ;) Your lyrics can be a bit of a worry sometimes, I never like to think that all might not be well in the Keane rose garden! I think it's great that you always explain them. You're a marvel Mr Rice-Oxley!
Dear Tim, I'm absolutely grateful for your explanation! Difficult (or conficted he he) Child is one of my favourite songs in the Strangeland era, both lyrical and melodically. I can easily imagine an acoustic version as a beautiful lullaby melody. You cannot figure out the long discussion that some friends and I held about the meaning of 'soldier's queen' (and not queen's soldier) while translating it into Spanish. I even searched on Google for some famous historical queens and soldiers, but never thought about a myth! A very accurate metaphor indeed. And, I have to tell you, I'd had been pleased to hear Tom and you repeating more than 50 times your vocals. Lots of love from Argentina ♥♥♥♥ ps: Would you please consider to upload explanations for the songs of the bonus track?
This song is really wonderful and the lyrics are (again) very moving. It's a brilliant idea to let it see the light of the day by releasing it! Well done again, guys, I love it a lot! Lots of love from Germany! :)
They´re very Macho!!!!! to be right. (very male, lmaof, buahhh) but, hey thanks for a slight touch of the surface of thoughts as I was worried what´s that about. Thanks for this.
slightly schizophrenic!! and cute, really cute XD thanks Mr. Amazing Tim, it's brilliant!

Conditions of Use
I'm doing Why Are They Called "S'mores"? Have you ever thought who invented s'mores? We don't know! They were first published in a Traming And Trailing Girl Scouts cooking book. Loretta Scott Crew was given credit for making the recipe because she made them by a campfire for her Girl Scouts. They are called s'more because it's short for "some s'mores". This named was invented by the Girl Scouts in 1971. You make s'mores by getting two graham crackers and chocolate bars and don't forget the marshmallows!
Marshmallow- A round squishy and white tasty food.
Gooey- Near to melting substance that if touched will stick.
Varieties- Very many of one kind.

As part of a series of photo journals on how the TeleFood programme helps needy families, a resident of Latvia, one of the Baltic States, talks about his daily life.My name is Vilis Matulis. I'm 44 years old and live in a house in the countryside near the village of Ludza, eastern Latvia. I have lived in this area all my life. I receive a state pension of 60 lati (120 US dollars) a month, but I mostly earn my living from those guys flying around outside, meaning my bees. [All Photos: ©FAO/Kai Wiedenhoefer]
I own two hectares of land here. I used to live with my mother nearby, but in 1989 I had this house built and moved in.That's my guard dog. When the bees are active, he hides in the shed to avoid being stung. I have been in a wheelchair since a motorcycle accident when I was 19. I used to get free medical care during Soviet times, although you could wait a year or more for treatment. Now, to be treated at a sanatorium for a back injury like mine costs 16 lati (32 US dollars) a day.
This is my wife, Sarmite, and my mother, Valeria. Sarmite and I were married a month ago, so we are still on our honeymoon.A year ago I put an ad in the local paper looking for a wife. She phoned me, and I was so interested I went to see her the next day. She was what I wanted to see.Sarmite works in a nearby city as a nursing assistant in a blood donor clinic. She is moving in with me soon and might not be able to find a job in this area. But her hobby is to plant and grow things, so she'll get the vegetable garden going again.
I have been keeping bees for quite a while. One day in 2001 I was approached by another beekeeper in Ludza who said that if we formed a group we could get money from FAO's TeleFood fund to expand our operations.We were 11 in the group to start with. Four members are still active.TeleFood gave me the impetus to expand. I had 20 hives before, but now I have 33 big hives and 21 smaller ones. TeleFood paid for barrels to hold the honey, honeycombs and seeds to grow the plants for pollen for the bees to gather.
Here I am checking the hives. There are so many bees now that I have to wear a protective hat and clothing.In 2001, I produced and sold 1 052 kilos of honey. I got 2.50 lati (about 5 US dollars) a kilo. I also sell frames with fertilized queen bees inside for 5 lati (10 US dollars) per frame. People normally buy four or five frames at a time.The extra money I earn thanks to TeleFood helps me cope with increases in the cost of living. Petrol gets more and more expensive. Latvia joined the European Union recently and merchants used that as an excuse to raise prices.
I have good demand for queen bees in season, which is from mid-May until mid-summer. I grow hundreds of them. I put the bee larvae into these yellow protective tubes. The tubes are fixed into a frame and inserted into a hive without a queen bee. Bees care for the larvae until the queens hatch.
My workshop is just a jumble now, but in winter I build frames for the beehives so I am ready for the following season. When I expanded my business with the TeleFood funding, I tried buying ready-made frames. But they have to be accurate within 1 mm in order to fit properly into the hives, and I found I was having to rebuild them.So I went back to making my own.
Here I am outside the small local grocery store. The lady comes out and takes my order, then brings the bag of groceries to the car. I go to the supermarket in the city for larger orders. The gas and brakes are controlled by hand in my car. I had the conversion done here in Latvia. I can even drive on the highway. I just took the car in for a warranty checkup and drove all the way to near Riga, about 275 kilometres.
In the kitchen, we have no distinction between men's and women's work. I don't especially like to cook, but I like to help in the kitchen. Here Sarmite is cooking meatballs.When I am alone, I usually make coffee in the morning and a sandwich of bread and butter and something like cottage cheese and cranberry jam. Lunch is soup, meat and fried potatoes with a glass of milk. Sometimes, if I have a lot to do, I skip lunch.I eat a big dinner if I haven't eaten much during the day. If I don't have a proper meal in the evening, I can't sleep.
I would like to continue what I have started with TeleFood and expand my beekeeping even more. But then I would have to move because the neighbours don't like the bees, which sting their cows and dogs. I am looking forward to becoming a stepfather when Sarmite's 13-year-old daughter, Laura, comes to live here. That will be a change.

Becky has done an outstanding job as usual. I have her first page maps book and use it often. I especially like the cards that are in the back. These can be put in my crop bag for on the go ideas.
I have the first Page Maps book and was totally blown away by it. I loved the page ideas and color pictures, plus the extra cards that came with it.
Page Maps 2 did NOT disappoint! Same format, with new layouts and new pull out cards! I put them together with a ring and they go with me to all my crops, in case after 10 hours of cropping, I need a quick, gorgeous idea!
Further, I love that the book is spiral bound. Lies flat, which makes things SO much easier!
Fantastic book, GET THIS!
A Scrapbooker can never have too many "ideas". This second volume of Page Maps, by Becky Fleck, is just a amazing as the first volume, if not more so. It's spiral bound and lays flat for easy viewing while you work. 92 different sketches for layouts, cards, projetcs, and home decor will have you desperate for some quality scrapbooking time... and perhaps the coolest thing about this book... there are perforated and hole-punched cards in the back that you can remove and place on a metal ring for go-anywhere inspiration. These cards are thick and glossy so messy hands won't damage them and they are full-color: sketch on one side, sample layout on the other.
This book is big, heavy, beautiful, and should not be missed!

Hola! My name's Anya and I'm 28. I want to share with you one day of my life on Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico (12.06.2011) where I went on business. My friend and I have a travel agency so we go to different countries to provide our dear clients with best service.
Few people know that travel agents actually work when they are on business (and not only hang out on the beach and swim)!
Unfortunately, I can't show you those wonderful hotels I've been to already (as a part of my information tour), but I still can show you what I see when I wake up and it is beautiful too.
It's almost 8 a.m. and I'm a bit late. I haven't had breakfast for a couple of days because I eat a lot here even without breakfast.
Some morning care for my face (I don't use much makeup when on business).
They refill the bottles every two days for free! So some Russian tourists pour the alcohol into plastic bottles to bring it home.
Checking out at the reception.
Russians are chatting with friends via the Internet because in Moscow it's 6 p.m.
This jet lag was killing me the first four or five days after I came here.
Our guide.
My friends from Moscow and Kazan.
It's me.
Our program for today.
One of the hotels.
It gets pretty hot in the street by 9 a.m.
This hotel opened in 2011 and is half vacant so the beach is still virgin!
I always take photos of rooms.
This hotel is pretty good.
The next one was not that great but I found marvelous cacti there and decided to show them to you.
Under these terrible conditions travel agents have to work.
Not every five-star hotel guarantees you chic rooms. Some of them offer rooms much more modest, like this for example.
Checking out another hotel.
I like its rooms too.
Me again.
In the next hotel, I finally found clocks to show you the time.
In this paradise, it's hard to believe that Christmas is so soon.
In the hall. Air here is so fresh!
I love this statue. If I could, I'd take it along.
Here's another stunning view but I have to run to another hotel.
We didn't actually have to run because the manager is being late.
We had a smoking break, drank a cup of coffee and realized that we lost our group!
Texing to a friend to find out where they are.
Here they are!
This hotel is full of style in my opinion.
Check out this floor lamp for example.
It's 'all inclusive' as usual.
Do I have to tell you over again that I like it here?
This river is full of crocodiles. Unfortunately, I forgot its name…
The the last hotel for today.
I love spacious rooms!
By the way, some hotels compliment their clients with beach bags like the one on the bed.
Heading to the hotel where I stay.
I didn't really like shopping centers I saw there. They seemed to me chaotic and overpriced. So I bought just a couple of souvenirs. That's it.
In this hotel we're going to stay for another three days.
This is one of the suits here (we're going to stay in regular rooms).
The hotel treated us to some delicious tuna tar tar!
I've been to over 30 countries in my life and can tell you for sure that it is one of the best beaches I've ever seen!
These guys offer fresh water and towels to the clients of the hotel.
This chandelier is really impressing.
We are at the restaurant about to have lunch.
Here's my lunch. Four cheese ravioli with dried apricots and sweet sauce.
And some turkey.
For dessert I had a white chocolate ball with ice cream and strawberries.
This is my room.
In each room, there are all kinds of aroma oil and an aroma lamp.
I am standing on the balcony enjoying the view.
On the way to the pool.
My colleagues are already here…
And so am I!
It's such a pleasure to lie like this after a hard day.
What time is it?
I decide to have a short swim.
Waves here are really strong!
After swimming I drop in at a bar.
Then I checked quickly my mail because at 5 I had to be at the spa.
Cancun at night is so attracting!
I had to relax before the night club my friends and I were going to.
A friend of mine who I shared the room with took this photo.
It's time to get dressed for dinner.
I hope I look good!
My friend's getting dressed and she's almost ready to go too.
Paying for the spa.
That evening I had cucumber mojito…
And listened to some live music.
Examining the menu at an American restaurant.
My appetizer (tuna tar tar).
And delicious sea bass for the entree.
Some passion fruit cake for a dessert.
And this is a complimentary dessert we received from the chef.
Back at the bar!
At 12 a.m. we headed to the club but that's another story!
Thank you! Bye!

his arm is bleeding
It's the googly eyes that look a bit weird. I don't mind it too much though.
Even back when I first saw the hammer return in #3, I thought it was a bit smaller than it should've been. I remember in Millar's Ultimates it was a big fuck off hench thing and it looked heavy. Not the pidly little baseball bat size that we have now.Thor's hammer is the same size but the perception of the last panel makes it look bigger instead of farther out.
I agree with you on the Hammer but the shocked faces really aren't all that bad. I actually think Ribic is pretty damn good at drawing faces. I love his art. But I agree with what you posted a few weeks ago. Bring on Luke Ross. Let's see what he can do.

Am I right in thinking that Thor is doing all this without his power-harness on?

I like Ultimate Comics. - Read them with us!
I also buy: Captain America, Avengers, FF, New Avengers, X-Factor, among others
Yah I know I was just having fun with Wyo because he loves Ultimatum so much. Even Bryan Hitch has the same faces. I just recently read America's got Powers and it hasn't changed for a decade. I actually like the way Ribic draws faces because he mixes shocked faces with regular faces.
Man this preview looks awesome. I'll miss Hickman and Ribic. =(

Sinx? No love for Dean White? I think he is leaving too right? The way that guy colored Ribics art was like he actually cared for every detail with his fine paint brushing technique and vibrant colors. This guy was proud of his work we can't leave him out. Unless he is staying on then you don't have to miss him. We need a Ultimate Comics: Ultimates by Johnathon Hickman appreciation thread.

A cutoff low to the southwest of the region will begin to approach the west coast over the weekend with a plume of moisture out ahead. Skies will turn partly cloudy on Saturday, more clouds on Sunday and there is still a slight chance of showers for Monday.
Temperatures cool with another chance of rain the middle of next week.

Walking Dead….
Holy Hannah in a handbasket! The mid-season finale was kinda epic. I must say I'm really enjoying to differences between the comic and the show. One the show has Daryl(I loves me some Norman Reedus) and two I really like watching Shane lose his humanity one crazy step at a time. I love how they've developed his character from the comic.
Now I must confess I'm not bothered about how they found Sophia, yeah it was tragic and to see Carol freak out was sooo sad. But a selfish part of me is happy that it didn't go down like anything that I had in my head. I had thought that with Daryl's dogged determination to find her that he would keep searching, and eventually find her and probably save her from walkers and return her to Carol. But in the process he would get bit and demand that the others put him down. That was my worst fear in watching week after week of him going out alone to find her.
Damn the writers stepped it up though, no one is safe. And as much as Shane is trying to gain control of everyone to his way of thinking, Rick straps his balls back on and does what no one else could do, shoot Walker Sophia in the head. Math is all well and good and you can say that is all you think it should come down to when the weak link isn't right in front of you and you're faced with what to do.
Shane had the choice of himself and Carl over dying with Otis and in the process taking Carl along, when you use math it's easy. Shoot the fat man in the leg for bait and keep moving.
Put down a whole barn full of walkers, easy math. Put down the Walkerized little girl that everyone has been searching for right in front of her devastated mother, let Rick nut up.
Ahhh I love this show!!!!!!!!

On the eve of the 25th anniversary of the nuclear disaster at the Chernobyl power plant in Ukraine, Scientific American frequent contributor Charles Q. Choi traveled to the site and snapped these haunting images
March 18, 2011 | 22
The horrible tragedies in Japan should be responded to by every nation on Earth which has the expertise and resources to do so. The fact is, no place on Earth is immune to natural disasters of that magnitude or greater. Americans must band together to make sure that greedy dirty energy companies can't keep us vulnerable to added threats to our lives and health in order to maximize their windfall profits.
The nuclear emergencies and natural gas and oil fires in Japan should be an object lesson, and dire warning, to every nation. This is why it is of utmost urgency to convert the world's energy systems to TRULY clean, safe, abundant, inexhaustible and FREE energy sources, such as Wind, Sunshine, Geothermal Heat, Tidal/River Flows and Hydrogen/Oxygen extracted from Water using electricity from those sources.
If you think massive conversion to clean energy would be "too expensive", I have 2 questions for you:
1) In your cost/benefit analysis, how do you value the lives of nuclear plant radiation victims, coal miners, drilling rig workers, billions of sea creatures and the millions of people who die from pollution-caused illnesses?
2) If we fail to restore and protect the ONLY known natural life-support system in the Universe, how will you justify that failure to your gasping, wheezing Great-Grandchildren, and what do you think the money saved will be worth to THEM?
If Japan's energy came from self-renewing energy sources, there would be no oil and gas fires or nuclear emergencies adding to the other crises they are facing.
After reviewing the photos, I thought the story was quite well told, and several of the images were quite haunting. These photos and the news from Fukushima Daiichi are firm reminders of our ability to foresee all possible dangers to nuclear power plants, and by extension to all science. That said, I fully support scientific research and I support the continued use of nuclear power, but I feel it necessary to continue to ask questions such as "what if the tsunami wall does NOT protect the backup diesel power generators" and "what do we do if the water pumps fail to keep up water levels in the storage pools." Nothing is foolproof, because fools (and nature) are so ingenious.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisOne would think one could come up with a better pictorial of the Year 25 aftermath of the worst nuclear accident of all time! These aren't even good tourist pictures. Quite lame...
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI more interested in what Mr. Choi's badge showed. Having been to Russia, I didn't find the pictures any more poignant than hundreds I took from St. Petersburg to Moscow. In 1997, the whole country was pretty poignant.
The blatant fact is that we need low carbon energy sources, and modern, properly sited nuclear reactors should be a significant portion of the mix. Scaring people because of local disasters at old style reactors is certainly not helpful.
Gary L Wade, MD
Congratulations SciAm for Chernobyl slide show.
The timing is exquisite in this week of extended crisis at Fukushima.
The slides are a powerful reminder of the long make-safe time period, huge cleanup costs, and long term global human impact from such serious reactor accidents. Likely we'll be looking at similar images from Fukushima in another 25 years, as by my judgement for cleanup there are several reactor-loads of 'spent' fuel which in fact contains large amounts of radioactive elements from Uranium fission some with a long half-life.
There will likely be also some Plutonium in the 'spent' fuel generated by neutron absorption, and lots of Plutonium from Reactor No3 which used Uranium/Plutonium fuel.
We need US/Japan know-how and cooperation and joint planning to implement the make-safe.
That mask is a joke if they are seriously worried about aerosols and other airborne contaminates
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisCurrently there is NO safe nuclear technology. Local carbon derived systems may be implemented before antimatter control has been achieved. Look at: https://communities.acs.org/docs/DOC-3412
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisDr. Wade,
As a radiologist you should know the effect of radiation on human health. Don't be silly! Even, lets assume that we have safe reactors, what the heck you gonna do with the waste fuel? Send it in the cosmos? How do you know it is not going to fail like the carbon shuttle did, How do you know another earthquake and/or Tsunami will not hit us again? It is time that we run for new technology that is safe in a long term. Stop being selfish!
Well, that was a waste of time...
"Haunting", you say?
((I did like the maps, though.))
'Haunting' is hardly the word to describe the slideshow. Surely there were more poignant images that could have been shown. For decades we have read how scientists have to be better about putting their message across. What of the horrendous scenes immediately following the meltdown and the anguish and despair of those affected? Twenty-five years later they are still in the memories of the living. Given the societal decisions about energy we are presently making, the human dimension is of paramount importance – the lives lost or ruined, the continuing fears, lessons learned or not learned - not to mention nature bent and disfigured. Where was this in your photos? We ignore at our peril the social and emotional costs of technological breakdowns. Your bland slides more resembled an abandoned auto plant than the scene of a nuclear disaster. SciAm missed the boat here.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thismay be you should go there and take some pictures
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisFor a really good exposure read this site. I wonder why SA and others don't use her stuff.
I think I just found a spot for Ann Coulter's next vacation.
The thing that I find most interesting is that I can find nothing in the main stream press about the design problems with the Japanese reactor that it has in common with many reactors in the U.S. I heard a report on Harry Shear's Le Show podcast that a nuclear scientist had resigned due to his concerns going unheeded. This timely reporting is a reminder, indeed.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI agree with the comments about the pictures being lame, especially given the urgency of the pictures coming from Japan recently. The real poignancy after 25 years is the town that is not habitable even now. However an abandoned town is not particularly photogenic.

Small radiation doses can be even good for your health?

1-2 doses of aspirin and vitamins are good for your health, but 100-1000 kill you....

Chernobyl and LNT theory:
Radiobiological Basis of Low-Dose Irradiation in Prevention and Therapy of Cancer:
more about Cherbyl:
"…. The most nonsensical, expensive and harmful action, however, was the evacuation of 336,000 people from contaminated regions of the former Soviet Union, where the radiation dose from Chernobyl fallout was about twice the natural dose. Later this limit was decreased to even below the natural level and was some five times lower than a radiation dose rate of 5.25 mSv/year at Grand Central Station in New York City (Benenson et al 2006).
The evacuation caused great harm to the populations of Belarus, Russia and the Ukraine. It led to mass psychosomatic disturbances, great economic loss and traumatic social consequences... The really dangerous air radiation dose rate of 1 Gy/h on 26 April 1986 (0.01 Gy/h 2 days later) covered an uninhabited area of only about 0.5 km2 in two patches reaching up to a distance of 1.8 km southwest of the Chernobyl reactor (UNSCEAR 2000b).
.. Thus with a steadily decreasing radioactivity fallout the dose rate was not dangerous at all.
However, according to L.A. Ilyin, one of the leaders of the Chernobyl rescue team, there was a danger that the "corium" (the melted core of the reactor, with a total volume of ?200 m3, a mass of ?540 tons and a temperature of about 2000°C, ) might penetrate down through the concrete floor and spread to rooms below. The team suspected that in these rooms there could have been a great volume of water with which the corium could come into contact. This would have led to a much more powerful explosion than the initial one and caused a vastly greater emission of radioactivity that could have covered Prypyat and Yanow with lethal fallout.
Therefore, the evacuation of the whole population of these localities was a correct precautionary measure that was carried out in an orderly manner in only two hours.
But the evacuation and relocation of the remaining approximately 286,000 people, of which there were about 220,000 after 1986 (UNSCEAR 2000b), was an irrational overreaction induced in part by the influence of the ICRP and IAEA recommendations based on the LNT (Ilyin 1995). The current reluctance of the Ukrainian authorities to resettle the residents back to Prypyat (now a slowly decaying ghost town and tourist attraction) does not seem rational. The radiation dose rate measured on April 10, 2008 in the streets of this city ranged from 2.5 to 8.4 mSv/year, i.e., more than 10 times lower than natural radiation in many regions of the world ... "
In science, as elsewhere, it is tough to say "always" or "never." You state there is "no" safe nuclear technology. However, the US Navy has been using safe nuclear technology since launching the USS Nautilus (SSN-571) in 1954, the year after Eisenhower gave his "Atoms for Peace" speech, and only three years after electricity was first generated by nuclear power. Nuclear power has been safely powering submarines and aircraft carriers ever since, without a single mishap - thanks to the foresight of Hyman Rickover, who started the Navy's nuclear program. In fact, there are at least 150 Navy vessels afloat today that run on nuclear power; an aircraft carrier can run for 25 years before refueling - and that's environmentally friendly compared to the previously used diesel power. This is a remarkable safety record which is fortunatley mimicked by the vast majority of civilian nuclear power plants. Even the incident at Three-Mile Island (unfortunately initially due to human factors including fatigue) was contained rapidly and resulted in no deaths or illness. Unfortunately, the safety program at Chernobyl was far inferior to that in the US, and apparently not all contingencies were considered in site selection and construction of Fukushima Daiichi (one of the most active tectonic areas on the planet), but this is no reason to condemn the entire industry by making a statement that there is "no" safe nuclear power.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisIf you want to see some really haunting and poignant images of the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster go to www.kiddofspeed.com. Those images should make anyone think twice about the use of nuclear power for energy.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI like the SciAm approach, as it is far more meticulous than the usual press write-ups. Here we can actually learn something.
Radiation has an image problem, to coin a phrase.
Radiophobia is easily caught. But most people are very ignorant of the amount of natural radiation in the environment. The seas alone contain huge quantities of potassium isotopes, not to mention an enormous quantity of Uranium. The layman's knowledge of natural background radiation is very scant and superficial.
These remarks leave the public unfazed, though, in view of an unfolding disaster. Many will say that nothing more than zero radioactive releases is ever tolerable.
One reason for radiophobia is that radiation is undetected by the senses. Another reason is that its biological effects are insidious, though not more so than many another poison.
Because explaining the complexities of a particular reactor accident in lay terms is not easy, and new revelations cause reappraisals of the accident, the public is easily incited to accuse scientists and technicians of mendacity, deviousness and deception, though there is really no basis for these suspicions. None of this helps the image of the nuclear industry.
How dangerous is the power industry then? How much harm from nuclear power stations is acceptable?
One worthwhile yardstick to retain is the number of people killed from electrocution every year. I estimate there would be a few hundred in both the USA and Europe. Maybe a hundred or so in Japan. Do you blame the power stations for generating the electricity that killed them? Electricity itself is also a silent, invisible killer, and not directly detected by the senses under normal conditions. But it ia a hazard we got used to. Many more persons have been electrocuted than ever died form radiation poisoning.
Using deadly nuclear energy to heat water to create steam to drive the turbines is the stupidest most expensive not to mention dangerous way of heating water.
We already have boiling water and steam under our feet in great abundance;plenty for base load power. It is called
geothermal energy , inexhaustable , clean, and available
most areas of the world.New Zealand among others has been
utilizing it for generations. So lets get busy start
developing it and say good-bye to the nukes.
This pictures are very interesting, but also sad. Radiation from the explosion basically wiped out everything from the nearby area and nothing is recovered yet.
How the pictures were taken? Did you wear an anti-radiation suit?

Do you need them? I believe you do. Writing is a business. Therefor you do need them.
Make them yourself or order them? I've done both but I really prefer making them myself. I use both sides which costs more if you order them that way. Plus I can do as many as I want or as little for the cost of the ink and business card stock which are pre-cut. Depending on where you order them, the quality will be different. And then you are limited with what you can do for the price. When you make them yourself, the sky is the limit. I like putting a pic of me on the front with my information and then the covers on the back.
What information do you need?
Your pen name
Website (yes, you need one)
Book Title(s), price, ISBN #
Space is limited so choose what you want on the card but do remember you have both sides to use if making them yourself or ordering them. Just check the prices and go with what your budget can afford.
And once you get them, never pass a chance to pass them out lol. If you get people to your website, they have a 50% chance of buying your books. That's more if they never hear of your books at all!
