Toy, Model & Collectible Replica Cars
oh god yes...three of them. Of my entire car history, over all these years, including cars dragged out of wrecking yards, cars given to me, cars found abandoned, ....none...NONE...were worse than those 3 Saab turbos. Even the FIATS were better.0
There appears to be several variants of 1:43 Saab Turbos out there...you should get a few :P0
roadburner Posts: 12,098To give you an idea of the display space needed for 1:43 cars, here's @1/3 of my collection on display in my old office:
And a couple of close ups; the larger cars are 1:43:
Mine: 1995 318ti Club Sport; 2014 M235i; 2009 Cooper Clubman; 1999 Wrangler; 1996 Speed Triple Challenge Cup Replica Wife's: 2015 X1 xDrive28i Son's: 2009 328i0
Wow that's a nicely thought out display.
I know this is probably blasphemous, but do I REALLY need to keep them in the boxes? I'd rather just have them out there naked.0
Many modern 1:43 cars come with bases and covers. They can be removed easily. On modern items, I wouldn't sweat the boxes too much, or at most, fold them down and store them somewhere.
If you find anything vintage, be sure to keep the box, which is often worth as much as the model.0
Is "vintage" related to the age of the model (I presume). How would I know if something is "vintage"? I mean, when is "old" OLD in a model like this?0
I look at anything made before around 1990 as being vintage, and worthy of saving the packaging. Chances are you'll have few or none of this age in your collection.0
Okay I'm going to sit down and make out a list of cars that I remember owning.
I think, to be fair, I will only include cars actually registered in my name, not the ones where I jumped the title.
A couple of them are going to be tough I bet. What are my chances of finding a 1:43 of a Subaru FF1 sedan? How about an Audi 100LS?0
I think 1:43 is a good scale like others mentioned, but I think it would be easier and cheaper to find them in 1:64 scale although quality would not be as good obviously.
If you go 1:64 scale, you can find them made by many different brands including Hot Wheels, Matchbox, and Majorette and you can probably find them cheap too, but they won't have as big of a visual impact as larger models.
boomchek: driven 10,000+ cars, sold 1000+ cars, owned 50+ cars0
Well that's a good thought. Accuracy is really not high on my agenda--it's more about 'body count" actually; nonetheless it would be nice to recognize the cars without having to pick them up.
About how long is a typical 1:64?0
I'm guessing about 2.5 to 3 inches. If you find a 100 of them you can easily fit them on a couple shelves of a typical bookshelf cabinet.
boomchek: driven 10,000+ cars, sold 1000+ cars, owned 50+ cars0
Plsu most of the ones you have on that list I remember seeing them being made by Hot Wheels or Matchbox at one time or another.
Type in "your year make model" and "1:64 scale" on ebay and I bet you can find most of them like that.
boomchek: driven 10,000+ cars, sold 1000+ cars, owned 50+ cars0
I might even do a broader search, just to be safe - people list things on ebay strangely sometimes. Bad listings can also get you a better deal on sought after items. I'd just go to the diecast page and search by make and model, weeding out the junk from there.
I know Matchbox made a 1:64 MGA, introduced around 1958. One would be lucky to find a mint boxed example for under $100 though.0
I am certain there has been a model of the Audi made either recently or when the car was new...probably the Subaru too. There are diecast makers who don't concentrate on NA sales who make models of odd cars to sell in Asia or Europe.0
This is the top of my TV cabinet where the 1:43 and smaller cars live - there has to be at least 200 individual cars here, but most live in their boxes stacked sideways to optimize room and prevent box faces from fading. I mostly collect Matchbox made through around 1964 - which is not the cheapest thing to like - but they are not losing value either.
I like the Matchbox display stand you have. Pretty neat. :shades:
boomchek: driven 10,000+ cars, sold 1000+ cars, owned 50+ cars0
Those are cute items I ordered from England - the mint loose cars live there until I can find empty boxes for them. Empty boxes are an entire branch of Matchbox collecting - many bring $100++ even without a car.0
The Chinese are getting quick :shades:
I remember I had a New Bright remote control Fiero when I was a kid, it was pretty cool - working lights and I think horn too.0
It's a Camaro-ette! :P0
New Bright's been around for so long? I thought they're a recent Chinese company making toys. :confuse:
I bought my son a New Bright Dodge Ram remote control truck,. quite huge actually. I enjoy playing with it too as it goes over anything!
boomchek: driven 10,000+ cars, sold 1000+ cars, owned 50+ cars0
Yep, they go back at least that long.
Here's the toy I had I think it was a cheapie thing - maybe $20 or so new, but the detail was pretty fantastic to me, and it's pretty big, too.0
The listing is down, what was it?
boomchek: driven 10,000+ cars, sold 1000+ cars, owned 50+ cars0
Scroll down half way, ebay shows old listings oddly. A New Bright Fiero, just like I once had.0
Lazy me, lol. Wow that is indeed detailed. Even the wheels look exactly the same as the real ones. Not bad for an old toy.
In Poland I always wanted this toy Fiat 124p, remote (by cable) controlled and quite detailed for a communist mid 80s toy.
boomchek: driven 10,000+ cars, sold 1000+ cars, owned 50+ cars0
Those are pretty cool. I have seen those cable remote cars before, big from European/Japanese makers in the 50s and 60s. Here's a nice fintail:
I have one like this, but in a nicer box. Should take some pics, it's pretty cool:
Yeah ands those were available in Poland in the 80s. I guess during communist time Eastern Europe was about 20 years behind in available toys/technology compared to the west.
When we moved to Italy I got my first remote control car, a Ferrari Testarossa that only went forward and turned left in reverse only.
boomchek: driven 10,000+ cars, sold 1000+ cars, owned 50+ cars0
60s style toy of a 60s style car. But the detail looks pretty sharp.
I remember those type of radio control cars, with the floppy antenna. I was really into radio control cars for a few years, I remember I had an elaborate Camaro my uncle bought in Japan, and of all things, a radio control Merkur that ate batteries.
Here's my cable controlled gullwing, probably worth a little:
Nice, where did you find this gem? Does it work?
boomchek: driven 10,000+ cars, sold 1000+ cars, owned 50+ cars0

I feel like I haven't had an idea in like 2 months with all of this moving stuff. I mean, I guess I have, but you know what I mean. And while I'd like to write something of some sort of intellectual or academic interest, all I really have to write about is packing/unpacking.
Why packing, you ask? Well, because I've still got some odds/ends at the old place that need to make their way to the new place between now and the end of the month (the plan is to go over every day and grab a few boxes - should be done by Friday). Unpacking I should think would be obvious, but it's in some ways the most frustrating thing because since I'm waiting on furniture deliveries and need to do some painting, I feel like I can't unpack. This is actually pretty stupid, because there are loads of things that I can totally unpack, but I'm having trouble figuring out where things go.... You see.
The kitchen is nearly totally unpacked and organized, however, and I'm very happy with that. Today I think I'm going to tackle the bathroom (well, what I can tackle in there.... I really need to buy some sort of cabinet for bathroom storage, but until that happens, I'll only sort of unpack in there). And then, I suppose I can begin with the books.
See how boring I am? Oh, though I suppose I also have begun to think in earnest about my conference paper, which I plan to draft over the weekend.
All right. I guess that's all because I'm even boring to myself.

Home / NEWS & MEDIA / New Locations For Base Of Ear Administration Approved For EXCEDE®
New Locations For Base Of Ear Administration Approved For EXCEDE®
MADISON, N.J. — September 11, 2012 — Pfizer Animal Health announces two new, convenient base of ear locations for subcutaneous administration have been approved in beef and dairy cattle for EXCEDE® (ceftiofur crystalline free acid) Sterile Suspension. These new techniques are in addition to the existing base of ear "toward the opposite eye" approved route of administration for all cattle, as well as the "middle third of the ear," which is approved in beef cattle and dairy heifers less than 20 months of age.
The two new techniques are a rostral direction, or toward the eye on the same side of the head, and a ventral administration, which is similar to a normal subcutaneous injection given at the base of the ear. The graphics below detail the two new techniques.
"I think veterinarians and producers will find the newly approved injection techniques to be more convenient than what we've previously had available for EXCEDE," says Doug Hammon, DVM, Ph.D., senior manager, Cattle Technical Services, Pfizer Animal Health. "Producers should work with their veterinarian to determine which base of ear injection technique for EXCEDE works best with their herd management protocols."
All approved administration locations provide the same 13-day meat withdrawal time and zero milk withholding following the last dose. EXCEDE also supports the tenets of Beef Quality Assurance and is backed by the Residue Free Guarantee™.*
To learn more about EXCEDE and the newly approved base of ear administration locations, visit www.excede.com/boeadministration or contact your veterinarian or Pfizer Animal Health representative.
Important Safety Information: As with all drugs, the use of EXCEDE is contraindicated in animals with known allergy to ceftiofur or to the ß-lactam group (penicillins and cephalosporins) of antimicrobials. Though safe in cattle when properly administered, inadvertent intra-arterial injection is possible and fatal. EXCEDE has a pre-slaughter withdrawal time of 13 days following the last dose in cattle. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal.
Prescribing Information
*Residue Free Guarantee: If you use a Pfizer Animal Health-branded ceftiofur product according to label indications, and experience a violative ceftiofur milk or meat residue, Pfizer Animal Health will compensate you for the beef market value of the animal or purchase the tanker of milk at fair market value. You must purchase the product from a Pfizer Animal Health-approved supplier, use the product according to label indications, have documentation of the product purchase and treatment records, and have conducted training on appropriate use to ensure proper dose and route of administration of the product. Extra-label use as prescribed by a veterinarian is excluded from the guarantee. If you experience a ceftiofur residue violation after following label indications and the above steps, contact Pfizer Animal Health VMIPS (Veterinary Medical Information and Product Support) at 855-4AH-PFIZER (855-424-7349) to report the situation.

The Story Behind Sunless Tanners and DHA
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) (pronounced Dai,Hai,droksi,acetone)
DHA is primarily used as an ingredient in sunless tanning products. It is often derived from plant sources such as sugar beets and sugar cane. Dihydroxyacetone is a white crystalline powder.
DHA was first recognized as a skin coloring agent by German scientists in the 1920s. Through its use in the X-ray process, it was noted as causing the skin surface to turn brown when spilled.
In the 1950s further research was done with dihydroxyacetone using DHA as an oral drug for another disease they were working on. It was noticed to stain their skin within a few hours after spilling it.
So continued experimenting with DHA was done by painting DHA liquid solutions onto the skin. It was found that DHA did not penetrate beyond the dead skin surface layer.
This skin browning effect is non-toxic- DHA reacts chemically with the amino acid found on the skins surface. Various amino acids react differently to DHA which is why everyone will produce their own color when it is applied to their skin. The reaction is similar to the browning effect seen when a cut apple slice is exposed to oxygen.
Coppertone introduced the first consumer sunless tanning lotion into the marketplace in the 1960s. This product was called "Quick Tan" or "QT". TERRIBLE! Orange and Streaky. Unfortunately this is still the association that most people have with sunless tanners.
In the 1970s the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) added DHA permanently to their list of approved cosmetic ingredients.
By the 1980s NEW formulations appeared on the market, and refinements in the DHA process created products that produced a more natural looking color and better fading. This coupled with the fact that the consumer was becoming more educated on the damaging effects of UV Rays found in Tanning Booths and the Natural Sun, spurred further popularity of sunless tanning products as a safe alternative.
The artificial tan takes 2 to 4 hours to begin appearing on the skin surface, and will continue to darken for 24 to 72 hours. Once this effect has occurred, the tan will not sweat off or wash away with soap or water. It will fade gradually over 3 to 10 days, in conjunction with the skin's normal exfoliation process. Because the skin continually exfoliates itself, losing thousands of dead surface skin cells each day, the tan is temporary.
Exfoliation, prolonged water submersion, or heavy sweating can lighten the tan, as these all contribute to rapid dead skin cell exfoliation (the dead skin cells are the tinted portion of the sunless tan.)
DHA does not damage the skin, and is considered a safe skin coloring agent and nutritional supplement. Most cases of sensitivity are due to other ingredients in the skin product preparation, such as preservatives, plant extracts, dyes or fragrances.
For a day after self tanner application, excessive sun exposure should be avoided and sunscreen should be worn outdoors, although TANS products contain sunscreen, its effect will not last long after application, and a artificial tan itself will not protect the skin from UV exposure.
Erythrulose is another agent that you will find in Self Tanners. It is in comparison very similar to DHA. It seems to have a redder appearance, and kicks in slightly later than DHA which has Sunless Tanning Manufacturers stating a better tan. However as it may be safe for use by all indications, it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a self tanning agent!!! This is why TANS Spray Tan Solution only uses DHA as it's active ingredient.
In summary, we have come a long way with Sunless Tanning. Today you can find NUMEROUS products on the market. Most drugstore products range from 3% to 5% DHA, with professional products ranging from 5% to 15%. However, that said, most still give the industry a bad name due to its coloring and its uneven tone. This is primarily due to its difficult process of applying it. This is why TANS Custom Spray Tanning is leaps and bounds superior to any other sunless tan application.
DHA-based sunless tanning, such as TANS, has been recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation, American Academy of Dermatology Association, Canadian Dermatology Association and the American Medical Association , World Health Organization, American Cancer Society, and the FDA.
Tans Are Now Safe, LLC. and all of its independently operated licensed partners strive to adhere to all Sunless Tanning FDA Recommendations. Tans Are Now Safe recommends that our licensed partners tan in adequately ventilated areas, and all clients receiving a tan to cover the eye area and all mucus membranes while spray tanning. Please ask your tanning expert for details.

Richmond police said late Wednesday they have a lead in a shooting that prompted a school lockdown after a 14-year-old boy was shot near campus earlier in the day.
The shooting near John F. Kennedy High School, which occurred at 8:30 a.m., was likely caused by a dispute between several people and not gang-related, according to Richmond Police Lt. Shawn Pickett. The boy was shot in the leg near a park across the street, then ran to the school for help, Pickett said.
John F. Kennedy was briefly locked down — students arriving and those already on campus were not allowed to leave, according to spokeswoman Sgt. Nicole Abetkov said. Nobody else was injured and classes proceeded as usual.
Coronado Elementary School, which is being housed temporarily on the high school campus, also was on lockdown after the shooting.
The chaos erupted as a school resource officer received a call about a fight taking place at John F. Kennedy Park, across the street from the school, police said. At the same time, police received reports of shots fired near South 41st and Cutting, and the school resource officer saw a boy run toward the campus.
Following the shooting, parents and other relatives of students converged, eager to take their children home.
"I need to take my grandson home," said Sylvia Whitley, 63, who said she dropped him off at the school then heard about the shooting on the news when she returned home. "There's going to be retaliation. That's how it's done in this town. I don't want him to be part of the crowd after school.
Whitley's grandson, Emon Hopkins, said he could hear the gunshots from his classroom.
"Everybody was scared because it came out of nowhere," the freshman said. "Everybody was screaming."
Students typically congregate at the park and the nearby corner, where there is a bus stop, before and after school. Extra police units were on hand when the final bell rang at 3:20 p.m. Patrol cars were positioned on both ends of the campus and on adjacent streets, and two police cars were at the park, where a few dozen students waited for rides in the shade. Freshman Carlos Sanders, who said he knows the victim, said added security is needed on campus and in surrounding neighborhoods where students trek on their way to and from school.
"I don't feel safe," the 15-year-old said after school. "There's too many shootings up here."
Richmond police Chief Chris Magnus also was at the scene and said the shooting doesn't appear connected to the school.
The shooting came two days after a 25-year-old man was shot several times in the chest in the Iron Triangle. That man survived. On May 4, Lester Williams III was shot to death after an argument between neighbors erupted into violence.

It's only a symbolic victory, but Apple's stock closed higher than Google's for the first time ever.
Apple closed the day at $633.38. Google closed at $632.32
Per-share prices don't really mean anything, but it's an interesting note given the increasing competition between the companies.
Steve Jobs thought Android was a direct ripoff of the iPhone and vowed to beat it before he died. Meanwhile, Google seems to be making a big move into consumer electronics and is buying a phone company.
In market cap -- the real measure of a company's value -- Apple has been way ahead for a long time. It's now worth more than twice as much.
Here's a screenshot for posterity:

Determined student becomes first in family to earn degree
The emotional story of Passion Waiters was one of many among this year�s Lenoir County Early College High School graduating class.
Thirty-eight students earned their high school diplomas Thursday, with 26 of them receiving associate�s degrees because of the unique set-up of the school�s five-year program.
Nearly half of the 2013 graduating class did so with academic distinction.
But the scholastic deeds of Waiters have a dual meaning for the first-generation high school graduate.
�I do all of this to help my mom one day,� said Waiters of her high academic achievements, including a 3.68 grade point average. �That�s my No. 1 goal. She didn�t graduate from high school, and plus she was a single parent.�
Waiters, 19, was raised in Kinston�s housing projects and said her background influenced her behavior in school and the community. She is active in her church, volunteers with outreach programs and was ranked No. 6 in her class.
�I want to do something big and show people that even though you come from the projects, you don�t have to be another stereotype,� said Waiters with her charmingly stridentvoice. �I don�t think it was as tough as me for other people because my family is very supportive.�
She said she is one of the youngest among her cousins, which draws high demands from her relatives.
�They pressure me a lot, but it�s good pressure,� Waiters said. �Not a lot of people in my family went to college.�
The new graduate will attend North Carolina A&T to study industrial engineering, as her favorite subjects are math and science. Coming from a military family, Waiters considered joining the U.S. Navy to work on nuclear missiles but was instead pushed to pursue a degree.
�(There are) not a lot of African-American women that do engineering,� she said. �I know sometimes they feel inferior, so I�m going to take that challenge.�
The entire LCECHS campus, housed at Lenoir Community College, made it to graduation with somewhat of its own bump in the road, which some 38 Early College graduates rolled over smoothly.
Former principal Jason Miller took a job at LCC�s Greene County campus in April, and the district replaced him with Rochelle Middle Principal Nicholas Harvey II. Pam Heath, a former assistant principal of North Lenoir High School, served as the interim for the remainder of the year.
She said her short time with the 169 Early College students this year was a unique experience.
�It�s really exciting,� Health said about the graduates. �These 38 graduates are so dedicated, so devoted. It is like a family here, it�s so small.�
She added, �Passion is just one of the 38 that has a special story to tell; they all really have special stories to tell.�
Heath said she watched Waiters search tirelessly for scholarships the past couple of months, and she joked the Ronald McDonald House Charities Scholarship winner was in the school counselor�s office more than Karen Roddy, the actual counselor.
Roddy revisited Waiters� 2009 application to the school and said it expressed the same �focus and determination� Waiters had the day of graduation.
�Passion is very focused on her future,� Roddy stated. �Having worked closely with Passion, I know she is a total optimist. She doesn�t see run-down homes in her neighborhood, she sees a community of nice neighbors.�
Roddy said because tight-knit schools solves problems in a unified group, each of the Early College graduates had a successful mindset going into graduation, including Waiters.
�I think this school is the absolute best,� Waiters exclaimed Thursday just hours before crossing the stage. �No matter where you come from, what your background is or what your social status is, you can always be something great.�

Join the Legends and Be Part of Chess History
The City of Reykjavík has sponsored the tournament since its inception in 1964, when Mikhail Tal won it with a record 12½ points out of 13. The tournament was initially held every two years, but has since 2008 taken place every year. It was closed in its early years, but has been an open event since the 1980s. Throughout its history the Reykjavik Open has featured many of the strongest chess players in the world at the time, including Mikhail Tal, Nona Gaprindashvili, David Bronstein, Vasili Smyslov, Bent Larsen, Friðrik Ólafsson, Mark Taimanov, Lev Polugaevsky, Ulf Andersson, Jan Timman, Victor Korchnoi, Samuel Reshevsky, Anthony Miles, Nigel Short, Hikaru Nakamura, the Polgar systers, Magnus Carlsen and Alexander Grischuk.
The Reykjavík Open has enjoyed such an enviable reputation that more than (150) chess masters registered interest in participating last year and we expect be a similar number of GMs in the 2013 tournament. As in previous years, the goal of organizers to is invite many of the youngest and most promising chess players in the world, as well as the strongest women players around.
Much More than a Chess Tournament
As in earlier years, several chess-related events will take place at the same time as the tournament, including the now famous the Reykjavík Open Chess Pub Quiz and the Golden Circle sightseeing tour that includes stops at Geysir and Bobby Fischer's final resting place in the southern part of Iceland. And given the favourable exchange rate of the Icelandic króna, Iceland is one of the most attractive places in the world to visit and play in chess tournaments.

GM Luke McShane (England):
"Thanks again for a very enjoyable tournament in Reykjavik. Personally, I'm really glad I got another opportunity to visit Iceland after so many years, and it's great to see the tournament getting tougher every year!"

Christina updates us on her Mini Marathon training and how her MS can impact her training plans... I am really looking forward to this year's Vhi Women's Mini Marathon in June and being part of Team MS Ireland. I've been out running a few days a week, just small bits here and there to keep active as part of my training for the upcoming 10k Mini Marathon. Last year I really enjoyed the personal challenge of training but also I would love to be able to jog the whole 10k course, so a well-planned training schedule is vital! Training for the Mini Marathon and participating in any run for someone with a chronic illness can have its difficulties. As you may know, living with MS can be very unpredictable. You can experience many symptoms that can affect your daily life and interfere with training and physical activities. MS adds a certain level of unreliability in my life. My symptoms can flare and differ from day to day. A few weeks ago I ended up having a relapse, which resulted in a short stay in Beaumont Hospital to help me recover. Suddenly my well planned training schedule was on the back burner! Listening to My Body I can't stress enough how important it is to listen to your body, rest when you need to and to look after your mental health. I felt so frustrated because my relapse left me feeling drained. I was angry that I was unable to go out training and I felt like I was letting myself down. After three days of steroid treatment in hospital, I took a well needed rest for a whole week and reorganised my training plan. I listened to my body and knew I needed to find a balance; a balance between looking after myself and still training for the 10k challenge. I'm happy to say, my plan is working. I went to the gym twice last week. On the first day I managed 1k on the treadmill and then I listened to my body and stopped. It may be only 1k but it is 1k more to reaching my 10k goal! I took a day's rest and on my next training day I managed to jog 2k. After two rest days, I went back to the gym and was able to push myself a little bit further by completing a hard but rewarding 3k. This week I will aim to do 4k and I'll take my rest once again. I am slowly building up the strength in my legs so I can do the Mini Marathon without doing myself any harm. I am listening to my body and I'm still training but in a way that suits my needs. I may be slower than I was last year but slow and steady wins the race You can join Team MS Ireland & Christina by signing up for the Women's Mini Marathon today!

Last year I took on the challenge of the VHI Women's Mini Marathon for Multiple Sclerosis Ireland and I can't wait to take part again this year. I was diagnosed with MS in 2016, age 26. I went to bed one night, followed my normal bedtime routine and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. The next day I woke up and I experienced my first MS attack; my whole life changed in an instant. I couldn't control my body movements. I was paralyzed down the left side of my body and it wouldn't move the way I wanted it to. It would even make strange movements without my permission. Long story short, I had lesions on the part of my brain that controls my voluntary body movements. This impacted my mobility and I was quickly diagnosed with MS. When you go from being healthy one day and waking up the next not being able to move your body properly, you really do re-evaluate everything. I have experienced what it's like to lose something that I took for granted, like walking across the room or walking down the street; now I try to make sure I never take anything for granted again. I face challenges with my MS on a daily basis. Fatigue is a big symptom and it can get in the way of training and exercising. Even at the Mini Marathon you can face struggles, especially on a warm day. Last year I saw a women taking part in the Mini Marathon in full army gear. I told my friends that's what MS is like for me! You feel like you have weights attached to your arms and legs, and I carry that around with me everywhere! Taking part in the Mini Marathon means a lot of different things to me. It makes me feel proud of myself and is a way for me to celebrate my ability to be lucky enough to jog it. I am in remission, so I will make the most of it and that's why I love taking part. I am not wasting the opportunity because one day I may not be given that luxury. I focus on the here and now, and now I am doing well, so I will jog it and if I can't jog it, I will walk it!! The VHI Women's Mini Marathon can be tough and of course there are struggles, but I can't even describe how rewarding, proud, emotional and happy you feel when you have completed the race. I cannot wait to do it again for MS Ireland this year, to represent all my fellow MSer's and stand alongside all the other women ready to begin the race for a charity they hold close to their hearts. It really is a beautiful feeling.

The holiday season is often stressful for families trying to please all the relatives, making sure everyone is included. For non-traditional families, like yours with grandchildren, the holidays can be even more complicated. How do you celebrate a special occasion when family members might not be on speaking terms, or when they're in constant conflict?
According to author Sally Houtman, the one simple rule that might help is to, "Do that which you will not regret." This means doing what you think is right and not necessarily what seems to be most comfortable. Put the needs of the children first, putting aside your own resentments and personal differences. Consider what is right and best for the children involved.
You will never be able to please everyone, but it is not your responsibility to make sure all the relatives are happy. Focus your decisions on what is right and not on keeping peace or pleasing all family members. Don't allow your own anger or resentments to influence your decisions.
If you don't invite the children's parent or another family member to holiday gatherings because of your own feelings, you may be punishing the children for something that is between two adults. On the other hand, don't go overboard to include those who may behave in a way that will cause you to regret the invitation. It is possible to extend kindness to someone with whom you disagree, especially if the situation is for the good of the children. When making your decisions, take into consideration any negative aspects, and base your choice on whether the children will benefit from the visit, social gathering, or other activity. Weigh the positives and negatives and do what is best for them.

Fans More Connected Than Ever – MLB Playoffs Generate More Than 10 Million Social Media Comments
I love to see how technology continues to be woven deeper into the fabric of baseball and how it benefits everyone from teams to players to fans.
These days technology is driving millions of interactions that happen at the speed of light. Players utilize video to break down their latest at bat, and might watch in between innings to make changes for future at-bats. Teams use scores of computer-generated statistics to analyze player performances, and breakdown their opponents. Things like variable ticket pricing, enhancements to television broadcasts (pitch tracker), and social media channels have altered how fans interact with the sport.
During Game One of the World Series, Pablo Sandoval (dear to my heart, as he is from Venezuela) hit three home runs, and that feat aided in generating 20% of the 813,000 social media comments about Game One.
Today, MLB announced that the 2012 postseason generated a staggering 10.67 million social media comments, up 131% from last year's playoffs.
We know a number of those comments are coming from fans in the ballpark. AT&T Park in San Francisco is one of the most connected venues in professional sports. With Cisco's high-density Wi-Fi network it is simple, fast and reliable for fans to get an instant Wi-Fi connection, enabling them to utilize their mobile devices to their full capacity.
Sadly, this isn't the case at a number of stadiums, parks and arenas around the world. Often fans still find they have little to no cellular coverage – the effect of tens of thousands of fans trying to access the mobile network in a dense environment – and this can impact attendance at games and concerts around the world, as fans find themselves unconnected.
However, this does not need to be the case. Cisco's innovation center has solved the high-density Wi-Fi problem, and every facility around the world is capable of keeping their fans connected without latency delays. We see it in every place we go, people want to be connected and it's clear from the social media stats above that fans love to share their "live experiences" with family and friends around the world.
We want to hear from the fans, what are you most likely to do at a game? Take a photo, and share it on Instagram or another social media channel? Post a Video? Update your Facebook status? Tweet? Let us know on Twitter @CiscoSESG.
It helps Cisco continue to understand how our innovations can place fans at the center of the experience, which is ultimately our goal. Our latest sports and entertainment specific solution, which is just around the corner, will do that in ways that have never been done before.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

That IS very funny! She's great. Impressive, that she didn't have to laugh!!
Lapsee is my best snoggingfriend!The party later that night was great!
That really works! Sort of a throw back to those huge hat with trains from King Louis XIV's court.
that kind of liberation makes this site really fun. she's great.
That photo and story just made me so happy!
Yes, absolutely, fashion should be fun!!!!
Anon 9:01- thx for letting us know that the party was great. I can only imagine.
LOL! that is too funny
I would really like to see everyone else at that party.
Wow. Awesome!!!
Funny and fabulous!!
If you see someone in SoHo with a lamp shade on his head, it's me. :-)
she would steal hearts at the fifth ave easter parade–sweet!
Funny as it may seem to some, I actually think this works really well, especially in enhancing the exotic element to the outfit. And to be able to wear a lampshade without it looking like one (I would not have known if you did not clarify that), it takes someone with real confidence. Kudos!
Oh, That girl is welcome to .light up. my mundane existence anytime.
It is the unseen unforgetatable, ultimate accessory of fashion …
That heralds your arrival
and prolongs your departure
Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel
Amen to that…
She's amazing! Isabella Blow would have loved it (RIP)
it makes for such a beautiful shot
speechless: theatrical at its best!
As a younger male who prefers a more casual/street look, I'd love to be able to work that clay(?) and grey combo into my next outing.
…and what a pretty girl.
-twoo dee
wow, she's interesting.. fashion should be interesting..
she is our new muse. bjork now has some serious competition. incredible. fashion is fun. very fun.
It makes a lovely headdress, too. And it reminds me a bit of Tibetan or Nepali headdresses in my part of the world.
Yeah, what blue floppy hat said. It takes a special kind of person to put a lampshade on her head and have me wondering if it's a genuine piece of headwear.
Gothic and Lolitaesque…..kinda.
I read somewhere you liked the Stockholm style. I'm glad you did, it makes me proud of my country. Hope you will be back in Scandinavia soon!
i love that its a funny idea for her to wear the lampshade on her head but that in the picture she looks like she could kill you with just her gaze. absolutely stunning…
she is so pretty that she can get by wearing a lampshade!!
Hahahahaha – I love her good humour and lack of vanity ;o)
Love it!!!!
hahaha that rocks!
:-) Perfect. I love it. Inspiring.
everything draws you to the eyes – special
I love lamphat..
To me (I do not see very well.. and do not wear glasses because i dont like to…) at first glimps, she looks like a man in a great pink turban and a big black beard…. Imagine the surprise when i find she is a young girl in desguise!
THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD.!!!!! In my Book !!

Story highlights
- AOL chat rooms, popular in the 90's and early 00's, are less so today thanks to new technology
- Chat rooms helped the users communicate rapidly with others like themselves
- Today, social networks' chat services let people exchange in real time with existing friends
- Still, some networks like Twitter and Linked In thrive on creating bonds between strangers
Last month, Sean Parker of Napster fame launched Airtime.
Amid the hoopla of the launch -- attended, for some reason, by Jimmy Fallon and Snoop Dogg -- Parker told an anecdote about meeting his business partner, Shawn Fanning, 15 years ago in a chat room, saying, "There's something exciting about bringing spontaneity to the Internet. All of your interactions online are constrained by the people you already know."
So far, Airtime hasn't exactly been a hit. Apparently people don't feel constrained by interacting with the people they know -- they feel comforted by it. But what, exactly, did happen to the chat rooms Parker so fondly remembers?
I talked with Joe Schober, the longest-running employee at AOL and its current chief architect.
His relationship with the company started in 1988, before it was America Online. Back then it was called AppleLink, a project commissioned by Apple Computer and a company called Quantum Computer Services to connect Apple II and Macintosh computers.
The beta test was dubbed "Samuel" and for Schober, a teenage fan of BBSes (bulletin board systems), it was an intriguing opportunity. He recalls a "little frontier town" where you could initially recognize almost every screen name you came across. When the main chat room filled to capacity, necessitating the creation of Lobby 2, the community celebrated.
It only took 23 people to fill a chat room.
"I know for myself, personally, I found it fascinating," says Schober. "The BBS world, it tended to be a one-line experience -- you were the sole user of the service, you could send email, you could leave messages, but it wasn't interactive in real-time in the same way. So the experience of going into a chat room and getting a response a couple of seconds later from someone who was in the same chat room was just really cool."
Slowly, the service grew, expanding to support DOS and eventually Windows. The chat product, called People Connection, had a variety of rooms for people interested in such topics as genealogy and strategy games. Schober remembers a ticker dubbed "Network News," a kind of virtual community newsletter that would let people know when certain chat rooms had a special guest or were discussing certain topics.
Schober moved from beta tester to full-time employee in 1992, when the service -- now officially called America Online -- went public. The company was positioned perfectly for the onset of the Internet Age. Windows 3.1 was released, making personal computers both more affordable and easier to use. And, despite our memories of the slow-dialing modems of the '90s, connecting to the World Wide Web was faster than ever at the time.
"In the '80s, if you had a 2400 baud modem you were pretty hot stuff," says Schober. "2400 baud is painful. People talk about their cellphones being slow now; a slow cellphone might be 256k or 512k, so if you think about something being 100 times slower than that, it's ridiculous. So you started getting to the 9600 and 14,400 baud modems that made the speeds a little more comfortable."
Participation in chat rooms started to snowball; as more people used them, the variety of chat rooms increased, attracting even more people. Then, in 1996, America Online opened the floodgates by introducing a monthly flat rate instead of charging by the hour. For $19.95 a month, users could now linger in chat rooms for as long as they wanted.
The late '90s, according to Schober, was when chat rooms hit their peak. Just how powerful was America Online during this time? Reggie Fairchild, product manager for AOL 4.0, shared this little story on Quora:
"When we launched AOL 4.0 in 1998, AOL used ALL of the world-wide CD production for several weeks. Think of that. Not a single music CD or Microsoft CD was produced during those weeks."
It worked. People signed up in droves.
AOL's subscriber base grew to 17 million in 1999. This is the era that many people, myself included, remember most vividly. As a gawky kid entering high school, chat rooms were a haven from the awkwardness of real human interaction. I'd use them to discuss punk bands like Operation Ivy with other teenagers, to play the chat room-equivalent of Dungeons & Dragons, and talk to what I very much hoped were actual girls.
Around 2000, however, I found myself drawn more to AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) than I did to AOL's chat rooms. Launched in 1997, AIM became widespread once it was made available to non-subscribers in 1998.
Then in the 2000s, the rise of DSL and cable modems made paying AOL a monthly fee for Internet access seem increasingly unnecessary. Friendster launched in 2002, Myspace in 2003 and Facebook in 2004. Massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) like World of Warcraft made gaming in chat rooms seem antiquated.
There were, in short, a lot more options for people who wanted to interact online. AOL's walled garden was officially dismantled in 2006. Chat rooms were available to AIM users until 2010, when AOL announced, "Since usage of AIM Chat has declined significantly in recent months, our focus has moved to other products."
Today, chat services such as Facebook Messenger and Google Talk (a.k.a. Gchat) are popular, but chat rooms as they existed in the 1990s are mostly a relic.
So, is the chat room dead? Schober doesn't think so.
"I don't think people have necessarily stopped using them -- there are just different ways of expressing the same concept now," says Schober. "Now people on Facebook will start a thread on someone's Timeline and really start interacting with one another. It's a different visual format, it's organized differently, but its really the same concept we had around the chat room."
Yes, that's true, but to me the experience just feels different. That's what Parker was getting at when he talked about the "spontaneity to the Internet" during the Airtime launch. In the '90s, I constantly interacted with people known to me only by their screen names; today, I only interact that way in comments sections and on Twitter, and only occasionally.
That's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm nostalgic for AOL chat rooms, but would I use them if the company brought them back? No. But that doesn't mean some entrepreneur out there isn't working on something that captures the same spirit, albeit without the same hegemony AOL enjoyed. In the meantime, I'll have to settle for talking with strangers on Twitter. Anybody want to talk about punk bands from the late '80s and early '90s?

The first thing I tried was to right-click on the installer and select 'Show Package Contents.' Then, under 'Contents' > 'MacOS,' you'll find the Diablo III Setup executable. Double-click it and you should see a Terminal window pop up and quickly disappear. You may not be able to see what has caused the problem, but it should have reported a permissions error ('Permission denied').
To fix this, open a Terminal window and navigate to the directory where you put your installer (for me it was Downloads; the easy way to get to it is to type 'cd ' [that's the letter c, the letter d and a space] and then drop the desired folder onto the Terminal window and hit 'enter') and type (include the quotes here):
sudo chmod -R 777 "Diablo III Setup.app"It will ask for your password and, once authenticated, it should fix your permissions issue.
At this point, you can try double-clicking on the installer and you should be in business.
If, however, it tells you that your video card is not supported (like me), you will have to do a little more work. No biggie.
Open a terminal and type:
nano ~/Library/"Application Support"/Blizzard/"Diablo III"/D3Prefs.txtYou should see a bunch of options, followed by values, like this:
DisableTrilinearFiltering' and change its value from '0' to '1,' then do the same thing for the option 'HardwareClass.'
It may not be required for everyone, but I also had to add an option, 'DisplayModeWindowMode,' with a value of "1."
Now, save and close by hitting Ctrl+x and then 'enter.'
You should be good to go :)
And, I assure you, performance *will not* be a problem (this is meant as a joke; of course performance will be a problem; it hardly runs, ffs).

(Flying Maasai Mara Wildebeest Migration Safari)
Trip Highlights:
This is an exciting 3 days flying safari which takes you to explore the famous Mara to spot the big five, migration of millions of wildebeest, numerous bird life and other plains game such as giraffe, warthog, impala, and others. The flight from Nairobi takes you over the Great Rift where you will have a spectacular view of the only earth feature that can be seen while in space. The four days are spent exploring this exotic wilderness paradise that is scene of the GreatMigration of the Wildebeest - the most spectacular occurance inthe animal kingdom.
Detailed Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival- Nairobi
Upon your arrival at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will immediately be met and received by our Tour Manager who will then brief you on your Safari. He shall then transfer you to your Nairobi hotel where you will freshen up, have lunch and set off for an excursion around Nairobi city in the afternoon till evening.
Nairobi National Park is a unique wildlife sanctuary which is just a few kilometres from Nairobi's bustling city centre, with Nairobi boasting of having the only wildlife sanctuary to be found in the city precincts in the world. Despite its proximity over 50 species of mammals can be found there, including four of the Big Five with elephant species not being represented. The tour also includes a visit to the animal orphanage at the park gate. The tour returns to the city centre by sundown.
Dinner and Overnight Stay at the Nairobi Serena Hotel or similar.
Day 2: Nairobi - Mara
Pick up from your hotel in Nairobi for a transfer to the Wilson airport for your flight to Masai Mara. Arrive at Masai Mara after one hour where you will be picked up by the driver from the airstrip, transferred to the lodge as you have a short en-route game drive.
In November 2006, the Masai Mara was named as the eighth wonder of the world because of what experts termed as "the uniqueness of the area and the preservation it provides to so many species living in harmony." It is understandable because this annual migration is the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth. The Masai Mara National Reserve is 270 km from Nairobi, a five hour drive or 45 min by air. For a full package of scenery, game and the ultimate bush experience, the Mara is the place to be. The National Reserve was the shooting location for the film Out of Africa and rema0.ins the location for the British Broadcasting Corporation's big cat wildlife series. The resting place of the big five, the reserve's major attraction is the great wildebeests and zebras migration from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Mara. This annual event happens between July and September and is the greatest show on earth. These animals cross over to Kenya through the Mara River. You are bound to see the pretentious crocodiles lazing away under the water only to dramatically break out of their sleep and snap up the migrating wildebeests and zebra.
Dinner and overnight at Sarova Mara Camp or similar.
Day 3: Masai Mara
Early in the morning before breakfast depart for the morning game drive which runs until noon. In the afternoon you can opt to go for the game or visit the Masai villages.
The Masai are so significant due to their culture. Starting from their dress code, the color red is so significant in that they scare away wild animals as they co-exist with them. They believe that God, Enkai, gave them cattle, therefore they believe that all the cattle belongs to them. That's the reason why they have been known due to their cattle rustling. Although the Maasai are known for their nomadic life and cattle keeping, they is a group of agricultural Maasai, known as IL Loikop, are look down upon by the cattle keeping group, the Wakwavi since they believe they are the true Masai created to keep cattle. A Masai Homestead (enkang popularly known as the Manyattas) is made from cow dung and wooden sticks from the leleshwa plant. Women are the ones responsible for putting up these magnificent homes. However, a homestead contains several Masai houses which are surrounded by a fence made also by branches of the leleshwa plant where the herds of goats and cows are confined in during the night hours. There are other Manyattas made far away in the wilderness during their Morans as they prepare their headset, the motonyik, before they return home.
Lunch, Dinner and overnight at Mara Sopa Lodge or similar.
Day 4: Maasai Mara
A full day spent game viewing across the rich tree stubbed grasslands and rolling hills. The Masai Mara is renowned for its great herds of plain game, black manned lion, leopard and cheetah and every type of wildlife in Kenya.
The wildebeests are the most dominant inhabitants of the Masai Mara. Their numbers are estimated in the millions. The great migration starts in July each year when well over one million wildebeest along with large numbers of Thompson's gazelles, zebra and other herbivores migrate from the Serengeti plains in Tanzania to fresh pastures in the north and then back south again in October.
Optional Balloon Flight
Take the opportunity to fly over the Mara in a Hot air Balloon provided at an extra cost. The balloon package includes a champagne breakfast in the wild! If you can spare the money, viewing abundant game afloat a balloon is an unforgettable experience.
Dinner and overnight at Mara Sopa Lodge or similar.
Day 5: Mara-Nairobi
Pre-breakfast game drive. After breakfast proceed to the airstrip for your flight back to Nairobi. Arriving in Nairobi at 12.00 p.m or 5.00p.m . Transfer to the airport for departure to your next destination.

Lisa Reason was out of shape, and couldn't do half of the workouts when she started. She weighed nearly 200 pounds, and was lacking substantial energy.
Lisa Reason was out of shape, and couldn't do half of the workouts when she started. She weighed nearly 200 pounds, and was lacking substantial energy.
She has two kids, ages 22 and 16, and realized things had to change.
Reason joined a three-day-a-week fitness program called Bikini Boot Camp, which she attends on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at New Bern Gymnastics and Creekside Park.
She has lost more than 45 pounds, is eating healthier and now has the energy to hang out with her kids.
It's changed her life.
�It saved my life,� Reason said. �My cholesterol level, sugar level, blood pressure, everything is down. I'm down from a size 18 to almost an eight.
�I am more energized. I was 198 pounds when I started and I am now in my 140s. I could not do half of these workouts when I started.�
Reason's new healthy lifestyle, in many aspects, is thanks to the program started by New Bern resident Kate Horney in May of 2012.
Horney, the owner and founder of BeyondFit Physiques, opened a class for women of any age, locally, nationally and even internationally, called Bikini Boot Camp.
In more than a year, more than 40 women are signed up locally, and another hundred or so follow the course workout plans from across the world. There are ladies from Japan, Africa, Oklahoma, Indiana, Ohio, and elsewhere, downloading and printing out the workouts.
�In addition to losing weight and promoting a healthy lifestyle, we really just want women to have the support and accountability that they need to stay on track,� Horney said.
�The women that train in a group see better results because of the group atmosphere. They are more likely to commit to their exercise program and they push harder.�
Horney has a degree in exercise physiology from Cedarville University in Ohio. She is also a certified personal trainer and a hormonal, fat-loss nutrition coach.
The Bikini Boot Camp is a 30-minute fat-loss workout using weights and cardio. Horney said the participants get a fat-burning blast that lasts long after the workout is over.
�We combine the hormonal aspect, which is key for women, and sustainable fat loss, and we bring that into our workouts,� she said. �It's science-based so that you are not just burning calories during the workouts, but you are getting a hormonal response that's lasting after the workouts are over.�
The program runs all year at 5:30 a.m., 6:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. The Monday, Wednesday, Friday classes are held at New Bern Gymnastics, but in the summer, the 8:30 is at Creekside Park. On Tuesday and Thursday, the course moves to New Bern Golf and County Club.
Along with Horney, Kira O'Donnell and Blair Lindler � also certified personal trainers � coach Bikini Boot Camp.
�We say we are starting a fat-loss revolution It's really growing,� Horney said. �It's for any woman of all ages. We have women from age 20 all the way up to 74.
�We do hybrid exercises, so we are getting more results in less time. Busy women, 30 minutes is about all you will have time for.�
Horney said the program is more than the workouts. She equated the women to sisters.
�We say it's friends that feel like family,� she said. �When somebody is missing for a couple workouts, everybody is sending them messages to see where they are.
�I told them this is the 'Sisterhood of the Shrinking Pants,' and it's really true. We are like sisters.�
The course is $97 per month to join the Monday, Wednesday, Friday session and $67 per month to attend the Tuesday, Thursday session.

�We love to promote healthy living in the community, so this is a service I want to provide to the community, as a way to reach moms who can't afford a gym membership,� Horney said.
�Our motto is 'getting slim without the gym.'�
