Work Out Shame
by Slacker And Steve
posted May 14 2012 6:18PM
In a new study they show that 90% of women over the age of 30 are "crippled by low self-esteem and body-confidence issues" while they attempt to work out in public. Most of these women work out in sweats, in the dark or don't even bother to work out. Seventy-one percent said they would rather eat comfort food or find a way to be alone and 66% said they'd rather sleep.
Are you ashamed of working out in public? Have you had an embarrassing moment?
Steve doesn't want to look like that guy that doesn't know how to do anything so he has work out shame, but Slacker doesn't have a problem working out in public. He just hates working out next to the guy making all those, I'm so strong, noises!
I'm not embarrassed to work out in public and when I don't know how to use a machine I kind of just laugh and walk away or the guy next to me notices and helps me out. Also, a lot of the times I have a friend come with me and we suffer together. I haven't been to the gym in the while, but it's not because I don't want to work out in public, but rather because I have no motivation. I rather work out in my own home than work out in a gym, but that's because I'm lazy and don't want to drive, so like the survey, I rather sleep.

Make Up Tips For Fall and Winter
As the seasons change, so does our makeup products. Our skin reacts to the changing climates, and so do the products that we use. Make up products can react to different temperatures. So, before you start spending precious hours in putting your make up on, here are some useful make up tips for fall and winter that can save you all the hassle and frustration.
1. Opt For Silicone Based Foundations
These types of foundations work well during the colder months. This will help keep your make up in place.
2. Pack on Some Powder Makeup Foundation
If you want to make sure that your make up stays on even when there are sudden temperature changes, then it's recommended that you dab on some powder makeup foundation. Freezing temperatures outside plus indoor central heating can also affect your makeup.
3. Avoid Liquid Foundations
Liquid foundations do not work well in cold temperatures. Try not to use these especially if you are going outdoors.
4. Don't Pack On Too Much Red or Pink
Remember that our skin easily reacts to temperature changes, so if you go outside, you will most likely become naturally flushed and red. Try to minimize the use of your blushes so that you won't look like a tomato head.
5. Avoid Using Creams that leave a Moisture Level Just Under Your Makeup
If you are planning to go outside, avoid using creams that take time to absorb. Instead, use moisturizers that not only give you enough hydration, it can also absorb into your skin very well. If you use heavy creams, chances are, you might get all the nasty creases and spots that can completely destroy your make up look.
6. Go Waterproof
Use waterproof mascaras, eyeliners and even lip liners. They will help keep your make up in place and it also prevents smudging. You wouldn't want to have raccoon eyes in the middle of the day.
7. Don't Use Loose Powder
Loose powder can make your skin look dry and cracked. Since the cold weather can make the skin super dry, it's better to invest on moisturizers instead.
I hope that these tips were able to help you stay pretty and gorgeous during the fall and the winter. The colder months definitely bring a lot of parties and other special occasions that it would be such a shame if your make up becomes bad at the last minute. These tips can surely keep you looking at your utmost best!

Location: Crops Pathology and Genetics Research
2011 Annual Report
ARS scientists at Davis, CA, developed a new tool to improve access to flux measurement methods for agricultural and environmental research scientists. It is an open-source turnkey data logger program that performs flux data acquisition and post-processing. The new program returns to the user a simple data table with the corrected fluxes and quality control parameters. Prior to the development of this program, researchers had to shuttle between multiple processing programs to obtain the final flux data. Different versions of the program are available to meet various research needs and instrumentation configurations. We are continuing to develop the documentation for the program. At present the program provides instrumentation information and wiring diagrams to assist the researcher with flux tower installation.
The programs are currently deployed in field experiments for the UC Davis Atmospheric Science Dept (UCDASD) and the CA Dept of Water Resources (DWR). UCDASD has 10 evapotranspiration (ET) measurement stations running the program in rice, winegrape vineyard, and alfalfa crop fields. CA DWR has 16 ET measurement stations running the program in rice, irrigated pasture, almond, walnut, peach, lemon, avocado, corn, and raisin vineyard crops.
Tools will continue to be developed to improve access to micrometeorological methods. These efforts include a software package for R, the statistical computing program that is increasing popular among environmental scientists. We intend to publish information about the package a statistical computing journal. An internet resource for collecting and categorizing web-based information about flux measurement materials and methods is planned. We will unveil our new tools to the scientific community at the American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America International Annual Meeting in October.
Significant progress has also been made on revisiting the theoretical calculations (i.e. Van Atta equations) that drive Surface Renewal estimates of water flux from agricultural surfaces. Until now, surface renewal relied on Eddy Co-Variance for calibration and our updated theoretical calculations have all but eliminated the need for this calibration. This work resulted in an invited manuscript submission to Boundary Layer Meteorology.

A home security system is a system that detects intruders either as they try to get inside of a home, or when they are inside of the home. In addition, home security systems are frequently wired into the home's smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and allow for the proper authorities to be alerted even the residents of the home are not there.
Home security systems can be very easy to install, and more advanced systems can be installed by a qualified professional in short period of time. The systems will generally require installing a couple of sensors, a centralized keypad control system, and wires in order to connect the systems together. Other systems do not require wires to be run, and simply work with the use of radio transmitters.
There are a couple of things a person should look for in a system. It is a good idea to put a sensor that detects if windows and doors are being forcibly opened. It is also a good idea to put in detectors that will determine if a person is walking around inside of the house when the sensors are on. These sensors can be motion detectors. There are also infrared that are able to operate even if a cat or dog is inside of the home while the system is turned on.

A Custom bike in Carbon, Titanium or Steel from Cadence
The pairing of our exceptional sizing and fitting experience combined with the skills of master framebuilders will ensure that you end up with a bike that will be the ride of your life.
Working in carbon, titanium or steel we can craft a frame that is so comfortable and fits you so well that you will wonder why never did this before. Cadence works with a number of select manufacturers who offer a full custom service where the frame is made based on a set of precise measurements provided by us.
At the heart of our approach is the principle that "the rider is more important than the bike".
We derive your riding position independently of the dimensions of an existing bike. This allows us to focus entirely on the variables that count for a particular rider and it does not matter whether a stock frame geometry will work or not.
What matters is whether a bike can possibly be manufactured that will accommodate your position.
Once we know what your true position is, then an objective decision can be made to either design a true custom frame or use a stock frame that will allow us to replicate your position exactly.

I have a hard time finding a good product to treat my acne. I have a combination skin type. My T-zone is usually oily and my cheek and the area around the mouth are dry. It's hard to find a complete treatment that are especially formulated for my skin type so I decided to make my own treatments.
Here are my personal recipes:
- Lemon and Honey Acne Scrub- Combine 2tsp of lemon and 2 tsp of honey in a bowl. Add sugar for consistency. Lemon is a natural skin exfoliant. It removed hardened oil inside your pores. Sugar on the other hand acts as a scrub by removing dead skin cells. Honey effectively kills the acne causing bacteria and leaves your skin smooth and hydrated.
- Apple Cider Vinegar and Honey- Apple cider vinegar can sting when you apply it on your blemishes. To avoid the stinging sensation, I usually dilute it with honey and use it as a spot treatment.
- Egg Whites and Lemon Acne Mask- I beat 2 egg whites until it has a meringue like consistency and add 4 tablespoons of lemon. I use it as an acne mask. I leave it on for 30 minutes and rinse it off with cold water.
- Aloe Vera Gel and Honey- Aloe vera is an excellent acne treatment. It reduces scar formation, ahas antibacterial and antimicrobial properties and also keeps your skin hydrated. I use the aloe vera gel as a pot treatment and will then use the honey as a mask. I leave the honey on for 10 minutes before rinsing.
- Papaya and Tea Tree Oil- Papaya is an excellent exfoliant and skin lightener. It removes dead skin cells, and rejuvenates your skin. I combine papaya and tea tree oil in a bowl and apply it as a facial mask. This will leave your skin smooth and feeling young.
The key in using these treatments is the preparation of your skin. Before you apply anything, wash your face with a mild cleanser and warm water. Warm water helps loosen up your pores. The heat makes your pores larger making it easy for your cleanser to remove the dead skin cells and hardened oil from your pores.
After washing your face, apply your desired treatment. Rinse off with cold water. This makes my pores smaller. Always remember to be gentle all throughout the process because the last thing you would want to do is to add more damage to your skin. Apply your treatment twice a day for best results.

- Live Booth Productions
- Sales and/or Order Taking
- Security
- Shipping, Freight and Material Handling
- General Rules and Regulations
- Installation and Dismantling
- Booth Demonstrations

- Related Links
Booth Construction and Design
Every exhibit space should allow for the visibility of other spaces. To ensure that every exhibitor has reasonable sight lines to the aisle, the following rules for booth construction have been adopted. All exhibit backgrounds must conform to the standards set by the Healthcare Convention Exhibitors Association. Visit www.hcea.org for additional information.
Standard In-Line Booth
A standard in-line booth is ten (10) feet wide and ten (10) feet deep, and eight (8) feet high. Side rails or counters can go up to four (4) feet in height. Any obstructions in the front half of the booth can also go up to the four (4) foot height limit. The height for backgrounds is eight (8) feet, which is allowed in the rear half of the booth space. In a standard 10' x 10' booth, the background cannot extend from the back-wall into the booth by more than five (5) feet.
Corner Booth
A corner booth is an in-line booth with access to two through aisles. All guidelines for in-line booths apply (see above).
Perimeter Booth
A perimeter booth is an in-line booth that backs to a wall of the facility rather than to another exhibit. All guidelines for in-line booths apply except that the maximum height for backgrounds is twelve (12) feet.
Island Booth
An island booth is any booth surrounded by four (4) through aisles. Island booths are 20' x 20' or larger. The visual disadvantage created by a neighboring island booth should be no greater than that caused by an in-line booth.
See-Through Guidelines
Exhibiting companies in island booths are required to comply with the line-ofsight guideline. Exhibitors can allow for 40 percent visibility through their booth or must comply with the 5' set-back rule (see below). The height limit is twenty (20) feet and must comply with the 40 percent see-through guideline. Booth components and fixtures cannot be arranged within the booth to build a wall that violates the 40 percent see-through guideline.
- Backgrounds can go up to twenty (20) feet in height. This applies to all components and properties of the booth, including fixtures, signs, etc.
- 5' Set Back Rule – Side rail and counter height restrictions are waived with the understanding that any side rail, counter, or display fixture that exceeds four (4) feet in height will not be allowed within five (5) feet of the aisle to protect the sight lines of the surrounding exhibitors.
- 40 Percent See-Through Rule – 40 percent of the booth must have visibility through it on all sides.
Towers, Enclosures, and Second Stories
- Enclosures and second stories cannot exceed the 20-foot height limit.
- Towers (any freestanding structure that is not part of the main exhibit fixture) are not to exceed 20 feet in height. These should not occur within five (5) feet of the aisle to not interfere with a neighbor's visibility. This restriction will be waived (allowing a tower to be placed on the aisle or within five feet of it) if the tower is designed such that it allows visibility through it.
- All tower, enclosure and second story constructions must be submitted for approval to DDW Administration. Also a structural drawing showing that the structure is properly engineered for its proposed use and approved by a structural engineer must be submitted directly to the Fire Marshal for approval no later than February 6, 2015 (see address below).
- Multi-level or Covered Exhibits Guidelines are available through the convention center. Fire watch personnel or automatic extinguishing systems are required. Lessee will be charged for fire watch personnel per the county's fee schedules.
Walter E. Washington Convention Center
801 Mt Vernon Pl NW
Washington, DC 20001
Phone: 202-249-3000
Booth Equipment and Carpeting
For each standard 10' x 10' booth, Show Management will provide an 8-foot draped back wall, 3-foot draped side wall(s), and a 44-inch by 7-inch one-line company identification sign indicating company name and booth number. Booth space is not carpeted and the ordering of carpet is the responsibility of the exhibitor and is mandatory. Rental carpet can be ordered through the official service contractor. The floor covering must cover the entire net square footage of the contracted exhibit space. Exhibitors will be able to order specific equipment and supplies for their booth. Order forms for material handling, furnishings, carpet, additional drape, floral, audio/visual, catering, utilities, and lead retrieval will be included in the online Exhibitor Service Manual, available in January 2015.
Booth Drawings
Exhibitors in island booths are required to submit floor plans and elevation drawings to DDW Administration. Drawings/renderings will not be returned and are subject to approval of the fire marshal. Each exhibitor is also required to submit plans to the Convention Center. Originals (no faxed copies) should be submitted by February 6, 2015.
Convention Center
No part of an exhibit or sign shall be posted, nailed or otherwise attached to columns, walls, floors, or other parts of the building or its furniture, in any way to deface it. Damages arising from failure to comply shall be the sole responsibility of the exhibitor.
Hanging Signs and Banners
Hanging signs and banners are permitted only with island and peninsula booths, not over a standard in-line. Banners may not exceed the 20-foot height limit (20 feet from the top of the sign). Please contact Show Management with any specific questions or requirements. Exhibitors must follow Convention Center and Freeman policies and procedures.
Recreational Vehicles
Please contact DDW Admin for specific guidelines.
Contractual Obligations
Americans with Disabilities Act
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, DDW will make all reasonable efforts to accommodate persons with disabilities. Please contact DDW Administration to make arrangements. Exhibitors shall be responsible for compliance within their assigned space and ensuring access into their booth (see Booth Construction and Design).
Cancellation of Exposition
It is mutually agreed that in the event of cancellation of DDW due to fire, strikes, governmental regulations, or causes, which would prevent its scheduled opening or continuance, then and thereupon this agreement, will be terminated. The DDW Council shall determine an equitable basis for the refund of such portion of the exhibit fees as is possible, after due consideration of expenditures and commitments already made.
Notification of booth space cancellation or space reduction must be in writing. Any exhibitor canceling/reducing assigned space will be charged a fee based on the following schedule:
- On or before Jan. 2, 2015: 25 percent of the total booth fee is due, regardless of whether or not the space is re-sold.
- Between Jan. 3 and Feb 2, 2015: 50 percent of the total booth fee is due, regardless of whether or not the space is re-sold.
- After Feb. 2, 2015: 100 percent of the total booth fee is due, regardless of whether or not the space is re-sold.
- Booth reduction penalties are based on the total booth space initially secured, not the square footage by which the space is reduced. (Example: Reducing a 600 sq. ft. island space to a 400 sq. ft. island space, bought at the standard price before Jan. 2, 2015, would result in a fee of $5,100, 25 percent of the fee for 600 sq. ft.; not $1,700 for the 200 sq. ft. reduced.)
- All exhibitor personnel registrations will be cancelled with booth cancellation.
- All secured sponsorships will be cancelled with booth cancellation. Sponsorships will be refunded only if DDW Administration is able to resell the sponsorship.
- Booth cancellations will result in automatic cancellation of any hotel rooms booked before Jan. 2, 2015.
- Booth reductions may result in a reduction of the total amount of hotel rooms an exhibitor may secure.
Compliance with Policies
By signing the Official Exhibit Application, the exhibiting company agrees to abide by all rules, regulations, and policies. The signer of the contract also agrees to share the rules, regulations, and policies with all representatives who will attend the meeting.
All matters and questions not covered by these regulations are at the discretion of DDW Administration. DDW Administration may amend these regulations at any time, and all amendments, upon publication, shall be equally binding on all parties affected by them as the original regulations.
All rules, regulations, and policies will be enforced without exception. Whenever possible, DDW Administration will issue a warning and ask the exhibitor to correct the violation. If the issuance of such a warning is not practical, or will not serve to immediately correct the violation, then a penalty may be imposed.
Any exhibiting company that has been given a warning or notice of violation and has failed to take corrective action will be subject to penalties, as follows:
- First offense: loss of points for the present meeting
- Second offense: loss of half of points accumulated to date
- Third offense: loss of all remaining points accumulated to date
Fire Protection
All materials used in the exhibit area must be flameproof and fire resistant in order to conform to local fire ordinances and in accordance with regulations established by the National Association of Fire Underwriters. Crepe paper, corrugated paper, flameproof or otherwise, will not be permitted. Display racks, signs, spotlights, and special equipment must be approved before use, and all displays are subject to inspection by the Fire Prevention Bureau. Any exhibits or parts thereof found not to be fireproof may be ordered dismantled. All aisles and exhibits must be kept clear at all times and fire stations and fire extinguisher equipment is not to be covered or obstructed.

Violation of any of these regulations on the part of the exhibitor, his employees or agents, shall annul the right to occupy space and such exhibitor will forfeit to Management all monies that may have been paid. Upon evidence of violation, Management may re-enter and take possession of the space occupied by the exhibitor and may remove all persons and goods at the exhibitor's risk. The exhibitor shall pay all expenses and damages that Management may thereby incur.

Music Licensing
Exhibitors are advised that DDW Administration has not obtained a music license authorizing the performance of either live or recorded music on the show's premises. As a condition of Show Management's acceptance of exhibitor's application to be part of the show, exhibitor hereby warrants and represents that no copyrighted music will be performed, either live or recorded, at the direction of the exhibitor on the show's premises, including the show floor, conference rooms, or hospitality suites, during the show dates unless the exhibitor has obtained written permission from the copyright owner for such use.
Should exhibitor violate this provision, exhibitor agrees to indemnify, save, hold harmless, defend and bear all expenses as they are incurred by DDW Administration, AGA Institute, AASLD, ASGE and/or SSAT, and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, and each of them, from and against any and all claims, costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses), demands, actions, and liabilities of every kind and character whatsoever with respect to the unauthorized use of copyrighted music.

"Right now, the vast bulk of Apple's cash on hand, about $64 billion, is parked abroad."Oops. Will this upset most status-conscious lefties? Hardly. Unlike oil companies who make hated products, Apple makes trendy, beloved products (with cheap Chinese labor to boot). The same is true for Starbucks (sans the Chinese labor.)
Remember the outrage over companies who keep their profits offshore? Remember the outrage over Mitt Romney's "offshore" money? Posturing over principle.
What we find in instances like this is selective outrage. Most people do not really believe in principles. Many are simple partisans. Many are followers, happy until someone tells them to get upset.
Question. What would be the benefit of making the tax situation attractive enough for US corporations to bring those billions home?

Active Questions
|Diet & Health / 1:27 PM - Sunday July 18, 2010
I'm having a hard time losing weight. Please help. I weigh 149 and I'm 5'5.
I walk in the evenings about 3x/week. I tried to cut down what I am eating by drinking more water. I'd say I drink about 4 full glasses of water. If I drink 8, I'd go to the restroom approximately 10 times a day! What foods should I stick to to lose weight? I sometimes have the occasional energy drink and was wondering if anyone knows if this will help you lose weight? I've been at this weight for about 6 months and probably even gained a pound or two. I'm just frustrated and would like some good and honest answers! Thank you!

That doesn't sound so bad. Up your game to 60 minutes of walking or biking 5 days a week. Cut your carbs back and up your protein to compensate.

Read Ultra Metabolism by Dr. Mark Hyman.
- Response by philosopher1, A Cool Mom, Female, 46-55
Are you kidding? You aren't doing near enough to loose weight. Just walking 3x/week ain't squat. You have to be working out at least an hour 6 out of seven days and that walking is as close to a jog as you can get...you need to be sweating and just barely able to carry a conversation as you walk. Anything less is just a stroll in the park honey.
- Response by joybird, A Creative, Female, Who Cares?, Therapist
everyone has given you great advice......it really is about less calories/carbs in and more calories/carbs burned.....
- Response by zibet58, A Thinker, Female, Who Cares?, Teaching
Do an inventory/diary of what you eat and how many calories it contains. Realise recommended daily intake is based on an active man, so you should shoot for 1500 or so, but less if you are trying to lose weight, and need to up your activity walk 3x a week? how far? How many miles you walk is a better indicator of activity than how many hours.

Try a high protein/low fat diet by using The Burger Buddy Fat Reducer: http://www.theburgerbud dy.com. It allows you to take inexpensive fatty meat like burgers and bratwurst just cooked on an outside grill and reduce the fat by as much as 50%! Also reduces fat/water soluble contaminants to make the meat safer to eat and more digestible. Cook up lots of meat and then freeze it. You now have easy to fix healthier meals than can be microwaved up in minutes that still have that great outdoor grilled taste without all the mess (or guilt). See the meat pics at the blog.

Starting today, September 9, 2009, users will be able to download Firefox 3.5.3 and Firefox 3.0.14. In a Firefox / Gecko Development Meeting on September 8, Mozilla indicated that Firefox 3.5.3 and Firefox 3.0.14 would be made available for download the following day. And, sure enough, the next steps in the evolution of Firefox 3.0 and Firefox 3.5 are currently up for grabs.
Both releases are designed to refresh the stable versions of Firefox. In this regard, Mozilla is offering both Firefox 3.5.3 and Firefox 3.0.14 as stability and security updates designed to resolve any issues, including to plug vulnerabilities identified in the previously released builds.
Mozilla has confirmed that users currently running Firefox 3.0.14 will be bumped to version 3.5.3. It appears that all users of 3.0.14 will receive a Major Update Offer to Firefox 3.5.3. In addition, those running 3.0.14 will be able to make the jump to 3.5.3 just by using the "Check for updates" option.

The Anaheim Ducks have signed defenseman Francois Beauchemin to a three-year contract extension. Terms of the deal were not released, but the Orange County (Calif.) Register is reporting the deal to be worth a total of $10.5 million.
Beauchemin, 31, would have been an unrestricted free agent this summer.
With the Ducks sitting 13th in the Western Conference, 13 points behind eighth-place Colorado, it was thought Beauchemin would be an appealing candidate for a team looking for help on the blue line.
"Francois is a dedicated, versatile and hard-working defenseman who is committed to our organization," said Ducks Executive Vice President/General Manager Bob Murray. "We are extremely pleased to have him under contract for the next three years."
Beauchemin has 18 points in 41 games, and leads the team in ice time per game at 25:44. He also leads the team with 95 blocked shots and is third with 88 hits.
In eight seasons with the Canadiens, Blue Jackets, Ducks and Maple Leafs, Beauchemin has 151 points in 454 games. He was part of the Ducks' Stanley Cup winners in 2007, and after signing as a free agent with the Maple Leafs in July 2009 he was traded back to the Ducks on Feb. 9, 2011 for forward Joffrey Lupul and defenseman Jake Gardiner.

Minor Counties: Herefordshire have to settle for draw with Devon
Herefordshire just missed out on a first Minor Counties Championship win of 2013 as Devon produced a defiant final-day batting display at Colwall.
After declaring their second innings on 347-8, Herefordshire set the visitors 390 to win in 70 overs.
A home victory looked likely when Devon slumped to 191-6 before being rescued by a 35-run stand between Rhys Davies (43) and visiting skipper Josh Bess.
Herefordshire spinner Brad Wadlan ended with match figures of 11-198.
"He bowled 42 overs in the first innings and then 37 in the second innings, taking four more wickets," Herefordshire's chairman of selectors Ernie Morgan told BBC Hereford and Worcester.
Match details at Colwall
- Herefordshire 344-7 dec (Stebbings 133, Cox 80*, Walker 57) & 347-8 dec (O'Shea 83, Cox 52, Stebbings 42, Bradley 5-125).
- Devon 302 (Bess 113*, Davies 63, Allen 42, Wadlan 7-121) & 257-8 (Holman 70, Lye 52, Davies 43*, Wadlan 4-77, O'Shea 3-89)
- Match drawn
"He pretty much bowled unchanged from one end throughout the two innings which is a remarkable achievement."
After two heavy defeats, the home side were determined to put up an improved showing despite being hamstrung by an injury to skipper David Exall and call-ups to Second XI cricket for Callum Stewart and Steve Cheetham, with Somerset and Yorkshire respectively.
Ben Stebbings took over the Herefordshire captaincy and rose to the challenge in hot conditions, with scores of 133 and 42.
"We stopped the sequence of defeats," added Morgan.
"In the previous two games we lost in two, and then two-and-a-half days, so it was good to take it to the end with us being on top. We were always in the driving seat.
"It was a difficult declaration to make because it was a very fast wicket and, although it was turning a bit there was a lot of bounce in it and when you hit it, it stayed hit. There were short boundaries and a fast outfield.
"They had a pretty good start, but we kept chipping away with the wickets. We just ran out of overs. In the last hour we had to bowl 17 and actually bowled 21 but we couldn't force victory."

Draco's creative inclinations confuse me. Art is all about emotion, which he family discourages. To draw a realistic potrait, especially with color:he would require lessons.
Author's Response: Hmm...you\'re right, LOL. But I think...sometimes art is a talent that is inherent. Maybe in this case it is. And besides he\'s already gone against what his family believes in by having this interest in Ginny Weasley from the beginning. :)
Yea, progress on the 'ship front.

This project aims to empower 5,000+ residents of a rural area in Zambia toward prosperity through developing sources of clean water with income-generating gardens, all on a microfinance platform.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Extreme poverty and recurring water-related diseases such as cholera and diarrhea compound together and hold many underserved rural areas in a vicious cycle. Like much of rural Zambia, 98.5% of residents of the Simango sub-district, earn less than $1.25 / day, and many go hungry through the long dry season as most depend wholly on their yields of rainfed maize to meet their subsistence needs and household expenditures. Water sources are commonly contaminated or located far from households
How will this project solve this problem?
Through microfinance, households will be offered the chance to improve their own lives by using water and horticultural inputs given on a loan platform to implement a 3-step self-financed water improvement program: 1) develop a clean water source 2) plant a garden and 3) earn income.
Potential Long Term Impact
By creating income opportunities from clean water sources, short-term health impacts are more likely to be sustained long after the initial project is implemented. Also, since every improvement is self-financed, users can choose their own upward path
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: $36,334
Funding Information
This project is now in implementation and no longer available for funding. Received funds will be used to accomplish concrete objectives as indicated in the project's "Activities" section. Updates will be posted under the "Project Report" tab as they become available.
Donors' contributions and pledges to this project totaled $36,334 . The original project funding goal was $50,000.

I could compare an entry level car (328) to an entry level car (Aston Martin Vantage)but it wouldn't be usefull information. Compare a $50K 328 to a $50K C350 (similar config). And I'll send a pic of the 1st 19" wheel 328 config'd as you tested & told me about.

You can buy a six gallon wine making starter kit for under $150 (plus about $40 shipping, because all that glass is heavy) but that's an intimidating amount of wine to deal with, and if you mess it up, you've wasted a lot of money.
What if you've never made wine but want to try setting up a batch of wine this weekend without ordering special equipment or juice? I set myself the challenge of trying to make a small batch of wine using only stuff that I could buy at my local Walmart for less than $5.
The biggest difficulties here are the yeast and the airlock. Normally I use yeast sold specifically for winemaking, but all that's available at Walmart is bread yeast. The airlock is a device that allows carbon dioxide gas to escape, but prevents air from getting in. I've heard of using a balloon with a pinhole in it as an airlock. The idea is that the carbon dioxide goes out the pinhole, and when the fermentation is done and the gas is no longer produced, the balloon collapses and seals the pinhole. Although most experts on the subject say not to use bread yeast, it is the same species as some wine yeast, and I found a Dutch blogger who used it successfully to make wine from apple juice.
Other missing components are additives like sulfite (which inhibits the growth of undesirable microorganisms), acid (which improves the taste and also acts as a preservative), and yeast nutrients (which help some types of yeast grow properly). The juice has acid added to it already, and because the juice is pasteurized, the yeast do not have much in the way of spoilage organisms to compete with. I suspect leaving these out will not hurt.
So here's my shopping list:
$2.78 — half gallon of store-brand white grape juice
$0.97 — bag of 12 ballons
$1.32 — three-pack of yeast
$5.07 — grand total
Okay, so it's seven cents over my $5 limit, but I'm not using all the balloons or yeast, so if you prorate those, we're down to $3.30. Not bad for 2.5 bottles of wine.
The first step is to proof the yeast. This may not be strictly necessary, but it's not hard. I just poured a little of the wine into a (very clean) dessert bowl and microwaved it until it was warm but not hot.
You don't want to stick your finger in it to test the temperature, because the germs on your skin could spoil the wine.
Next, add the yeast to the warm wine and wait about 10 minutes for it to start to grow:
During the 10 minute wait, clean a bowl that is large enough to hold all the juice with space to spare. Dump the juice into the bowl, but save the bottle it came in, and wash it out well. Once the yeast has started to bubble, dump it into the bowl with the juice. Cover the bowl with foil or plastic wrap and then with a towel. Flies love the smell of fermenting juice, and you want to keep them out.
If your house is on the chilly side, you might want to place a lamp next to the bowl for the first day. I used a small lamp with a 100 W bulb. In a few days, the juice will be bubbly and smell of fermentation. Carefully pour it back into the clean bottle and stretch the balloon over the mouth of the bottle. Using a pin, make a tiny hole in the balloon, at the end away from the bottle. The gas will eventually fill the balloon. For me, it took a few hours.
Now you wait for the balloon to collapse. This took a week for me. It does look like it has sealed the pinhole.
At this point, the only step left is to wait for the dead yeast cells to settle out so that the wine is clear. At this point, it's only had a few days after the fermentation to settle, and it's already starting to clear up. The settled yeast at the bottom are the lees.
I will post an update once the wine is clear. As a friend put it, the "proof" will be in the tasting.

"We met for the first time in a place called Stars in Orange," Conley said.
That was nearly thirty years ago.
Ever since, Conley says he watched as the legendary singer evolved into one of the world's most iconic singers.
Conley may be older than Houston, but says she was an inspiration to him and so many other artists. He calls her a trailblazer. Now, every time he plays his flute, he thinks of Houston - who he calls his hero.
"She taught me things about singing, she taught all singers how to sing even the best ones, she taught them something too," Conley said.
So how could Houston fall so hard after having achieving so much success? Conley says it can happen.
"What happens in the music industry is you get high in the upper echelon and you get exposed to drugs and you're around so much and then you get addicted and Whitney got addicted," Conley said.
He thinks it was her drug abuse that ended up taking her life, but he refuses to believe it will define her legacy.
"She should be remembered as what she was a great vocalist, a great song stylist and a great person," Conley said.

Issue 4.12 | Dec 1996
The advertising world is scrambling for new ways to pull dollars out of Web sites.
By Joan Voight
Archive Category:
Web Development
Online Business Models
But in the midst of this lofty goal-setting, the advertisers - the people who write the checks that sustain many a Web site - make it clear they want a new role in the brave new world of the Internet. No longer are they content to simply paste their ads on a cracker-sized piece of Web real estate. And forget about trying to attract attention through gimmicky multicolored onscreen eyeballs that blink when you click them. Instead, advertisers want to work hand in hand with publishers to coproduce the material that packs Web pages. In essence, they want to abolish the Web as we know it.
The formation of the IAB is just the latest sign that forces are trying to turn the once-eclectic Web into the ultimate 24-hour marketing machine. WebTrack, a New York agency that keeps tabs on advertising dollars, says Web ad spending in the second quarter of 1996 was about US$43 million, a 347 percent increase over the fourth quarter of 1995. And the smell of more money hangs heavy in the air. While Web advertising has increased sharply during the past year, it's only a tiny fraction of the $60 billion spent on ads in traditional media last year, according to Competitive Media Reporting, a tracking service in New York.
But flashy banner ads, which are meant to entice surfers to click through to a company's homepage and buy some loot, just aren't going to satisfy that shortfall. Banner ads are tired, boring, and too much like junk mail - pricey junk mail at that. Although these ads may cost as much as $10,000 a month, researchers have discovered that for every 100 visitors who take note of an advertising banner, only 3 to 13 actually open it.
"The banner finds people who want to be found," says Mike McMahon, director of interactive marketing at the San Francisco office of Anderson & Lembke. McMahon spends between $4 million and $6 million a year buying banner placement for Microsoft, the Web's top advertiser. He sees many kinds of banners becoming obsolete, as regular Web travelers bookmark favorite sites and ignore banner links.
Hunter Madsen, who was a senior partner at the J. Walter Thompson/USA advertising agency before joining HotWired as vice president of commercial strategy, says that banners are useful but limited (see "Reclaim the Deadzone," page 206). "Those who are disgruntled about banners misunderstand their value," Madsen says. "Web publishers and ad agencies expect them to do more than they can and base unrealistic projections on that."
Procter & Gamble, which budgeted $8 million for Web ads in 1996, turned the banner model on its ear last summer by telling ad agencies that the company would pay based on the click-through rate only. If other marketers follow suit, ad agency insiders worry that the banner trade may wither.
Some experts see banners eventually being limited exclusively to "high-interest products" such as cars and computer goods. A marketing executive who sells online ads admits privately - and anonymously - that "banners really work only for a product you already want to know about. They can never help toothbrush.com get you to its site."
What's next?
What's next?
Enter sponsorships, where independent online publishers cozy up to a few major advertising sugar daddies and forge a content-and-design partnership. Sponsorships are not cheap, typically costing $20,000 to $50,000 a month. But advertisers consider the cost a whole lot cheaper than creating a glitzy corporate homepage to attract new shoppers; homepages can instead be used simply to assist existing customers. Symbiotically, publishers who accept sponsorships can concentrate on the business at hand - providing compelling content - without tending to the business of drumming up ads for jeans or spaghetti sauce.
But if banners are boring, sponsorships can be specious. For those who like their content independent and provocative, the new hybrid of news and salesmanship can be unnerving. Nike, for instance, entered the Web in the summer of 1996 by wrapping its trademark swirl around a service providing information about Olympians sponsored by the footwear baron.

These are printed 24x72 and bigger. 4x5 and 8x10 slide film looks fantastic when printed 40x50 and bigger. I currently have some slides sent out for drum scanning at 4000 dpi, which is the limit of slides if excellent technique and equipment is used, just to see how much better they are than the flatbed scanner I have.
For web and small prints (ie.. I did a family calendar of Lake Tahoe images) I scan at 1200 dpi strait to JPEG and import to iPhoto.
My first 4x5 slides are sitting on a light table so I can stare at them... they are amazing to look at, and I'm a schmo.
Anyway, thats what I do with slides.
Thank you very much for your reply. What you do sounds very compatible with my goals and abilities. How do you print your (word that cannot be uttered here) *ns?

The Life and Death of the 30 Pin Dock Connector
updated 04:21 pm EDT, Thu October 4, 2012
Size spelled format's demise
Amid the excitement of the iPhone 5 launch, the exposition of new features and the unveiling of upgrades, there was one casualty that few Apple fans could have missed. After nine years of faithful service, the trusty 30 pin dock connector is being relieved of duty, so we're taking this opportunity to look back over its career and eventual retirement.
The Life
The 30 pin connector first appeared way back in 2003 on the third-generation iPod. The first two iPods had employed FireWire connections to sync music with a user's computer, but this standard was not widely employed outside of Apple's own machines. Enter the 30 pin connector, with the ability to use both FireWire and the more widespread USB standard.
But the 30 pin connector did much more than just interface with Firewire and USB ports alike. USB functionality used four pins, FireWire used eight. That left eighteen pins for just about any other function Apple could imagine, and that was the secret to the 30 pin connector's success and a part of how the iPod and iPhone series' spawned such a vast range of accessories.
Because Apple could dedicate pins to specific functions that accessory makers required, they could support a whole range of accessories with just their one, standard adapter.
To take maybe the most common example, a manufacturer who wanted to make a set of speakers for iPods or iPhones would need to draw power from the connected device and an audio signal. Apple could designate a pin for each of these functions and then all accessory makers could make use of them, hassle free.
The Death
Although it was a cleverly designed system, the days of the 30 pin connector were numbered just like everything in the tech industry. Ultimately, it wasn't lack of functionality but simple size that brought about the end of the traditional Apple dock connector.
While the old connector is tremendously versatile it is also very bulky, particularly by modern standards as gadgets get shrunk down into ever more slim and streamlined forms. The reliable old 30 pin connector has simply reached the point where it is beginning to restrict designers.
That could possibly have been tolerated if every part of the 30 pin connector was still useful, but that's not the case any more, either. Take the 8 FireWire pins mentioned earlier, for example. This standard is more or less dead, and it's simply taking up space.
So, sadly, the 30 pin connector's time is drawing to a close and the Lightning connector's time has come.
The Replacement
Though a change in standards was inevitable, Apple have a tough job on their hands convincing people of the merits of their new Lightning connector. It's not that the new connector isn't good - far from it.
At Best Mobile Contracts, we received an Apple iPhone 5 to review shortly after launch and we loved the new connector. It's tiny enough that we can't see it restricting any designs for a long, long time to come, and, though it seems so basic, the ability to plug in the connector either way up takes away a daily frustration in one simple step.
No, the reason Apple will find this a hard sell is that after nearly a decade of the old standard, many avid fans have collected a wealth of accessories that, without the purchase of an expensive adapter, are now heading towards obsolescence.
Given time, we're sure that most Apple fans will come over to the new standard as they upgrade their devices. We do hope, though, that Apple make their adapters a touch more affordable when they're not quite so brand new, so more people can keep their accessory collections running without spending a fortune.
We'll just have to wait and see how this one plays out...

Spend a lovely little day at the zoo with this cartridge. These animals run the gamut of the alphabet: A for alligator, Z for zebra!
Cartridge Resources:
Cricut Chirp! cartridge exploration: Vol. 242
digital trifold
Click here to read product details
I bought this cartridge and created an "alphabet book" with the animals for each of the children in my son's kindergarten class. The teacher and kids loved it. I had to contact Cricut, though, to find out what the following animals were:
N - narwhal
O - otter
U - umbrellabird
X - foX (just wanted to confirm since they used the last letter in the animal's name).
Animals & inside letters cut nicely and you don't have to create a second layer to get the animal/letter effect (i.e. the kids glued the 1 piece of card stock animal to construction paper, so use a different color background paper to get the layered effect). I only gave it a 4.5 since it didn't have any other special features, but that's why it's "Lite".
I love this addition to my collection. I have used it to make the cutest wall hangings for my sons bedroom. I also love that you can set it to just cut out the letters. It was like a two in one cartridge one with the animal cut outs and also a font. It makes it that much more versatile.
