Wadi Rum and Petra, the Rose Red City
The border crossing from Israel to Jordan was surprisingly super easy. The taxi driver dropped us off on the Israeli side and we walked over the no mans land. Jono thought the area between Israel and Jordan would be a fantastical place to try and take a quick photo. The guy with the machine gun didn't agree. I guess decisions like this come from the same part of Jonos brain that think it's a good idea to pack fireworks into his checked-in plane luggage and drive a car that's not his into a muddy slurry pool in the middle of nowhere (but that story comes later).
Over the border, we were instantly jumped by about 7 waiting taxi drivers who all wanted us to travel with them. Andrew had actually already organized our pick by a guy with a really unique name for clarity…Ali. They all could have been Ali. The ring leader assured us that we were supposed to hop in one of their waiting taxis and we would be soon taken to Ali…really? We didn't think so. They were so insistent we got pretty snappy which was a tad awkward when the guy rang and made us speak to Ali and turns out they were being truthful all along.
We met Ali at a café in the Aqaba town centre, he was really nice, bought us all a can of soft drink and we were on our way. Pretty much the only white people in sight and I realized I probably should have covered up a bit more. I'd been lulled into forgetfulness while we've been in Israel seeing as no one cares about all that there. Cross the border in Muslim territory it's a different story and as a result you feel super naked and very culturally insensitive.
A sweaty couple of hours got us all the way to the Wadi Rum. Andrew and I really wanted to come here. Me, cause it looked and sounded pretty awesome on google but Andrew, because he wanted to live out his Laurence of Arabia fantasies. That movie was filmed here in 1962, I've never seen it, but have been meaning to ever since. Andrew has the DVD at home though so I'm sure he'll sort us out. Wadi Rum, also known as The Valley of the Moon, is a valley cut into the sandstone and granite rock and is the largest wadi in Jordan. Ali, our Bedouin guide, took us into the Wadi in his battered old Jeep. We had some interesting chats with young Ali. Made me stifle many a giggle and wonder how incredibly different his life is to mine. He has one wife like his father and grandfather, but "he is not like them" he is aiming (in all seriousness) for four wives and 10 children, haha!
Ali has been married for 3 months and his wife is already two months pregnant. A great success in his eyes. He turns to Jono and asks if I am his wife. Yes, she is. How long have we been married for? 4.5 years. That's a long time. Yes, thanks. Do you have children? No, not yet. Why not??? He then suggests maybe something is wrong with us, particularly Jono and recommends the famed aphrodisiac qualities of camel's milk. It became a big joke, so unfortunately, we talked about this subject many times during the afternoon.
The Wadi Rum was cool. Spectacular cliffs and huge rock walls coming straight up out of the desert sand. This area is still inhabited by Bedouin tribes who run climbing and trekking expeditions in the valley.
After our drive around the wadi we stopped in to Ali's brother Slman's home for lunch. It was absolutely delicious and thankfully didn't give us any of the illnesses I had imagined it might. Slman was quite the character. He also felt free to discuss his family life and much to my amusement he chatted freely about how having 2 wives can be quite difficult and you have to balance your time between them evenly. He says having multiple wives gets expensive though, seeing as they aren't keen to live together (in this enlightened age) and required separate homes. One wife had provided him with 2 sons but the other had no children yet. I felt for her, she seemed sweet, I saw her peeking looks at us through the cracks in the door and when she cleared the dishes away I felt the need to compliment her excessively on her delicious food as if it might somehow make up for her lack of children.
After lunch we continued driving up to Petra. I am pumped to be seeing Petra! Its one of the several places I've been most super keen to see out of this whole trip. Scott, my brother, went a few years ago and his description and photos have made me long to see it for myself. We are staying in a nice hotel here which has been lovely for Jono and I, bit of a step up from the usual hostels we've been used to. Thanks Sue and Andrew! The area we were staying in was completely non touristy and buzzing so, wanting to be a part of it all, we went out for a coffee . The guys at the café were really cool but the coffee was like Turkish coffee on heat and I couldn't finish it.
Jono likes to have his hair cut every 6 weeks (wish I was that dedicated) and so he decided it was hair cut o'clock in Petra. The barber, who really didn't speak English thought it was the funniest thing ever to have Jono in his shop. He put Jono in front of the mirror, wrapped him up in the cloak thing and went outside to call all his friends in to view the specimen in the chair. Several men came in and settled in to the couches like they were getting ready for a show. When I took a photo of Jono mid haircut it triggered a stream of photo posing. Me, the kids, the barber and me, Jono, Jono and the barber. Very funny.
Sue made the call that evening to walk down to bottom of town for dinner and we found the most awesome restaurant with home made Jordanian food and a cool upstairs lounge for tea and argeeleh. Owner came and chatted with us for a while and was saying that this year because of the crisis in Syria and the masses of refugees flooding over the border into Jordan many tourists had stayed away. I suppose every time something happens in the region people categorize it as 'trouble in the middle east' and avoid everywhere. He said that usually by this time of year and season there would have already been 2 million visitors to Petra however this year there had only been 450000 and the season was almost over! Everyone's desperate for customers and income, no wonder we are getting so hassled.
We shunned the taxis and took the refreshing long walk home. As we were walking 2 guys came down the road towards us. I was instantly on guard but they seemed to want nothing and were funny and happy and said welcome to Jordan. The ring leader looked like a dead set gypsy and was named Jake. As we were trying to extricate ourselves from the convo he said he gives tours of Petra and would be our guide for the next day. We politely declined, said we weren't going to do it with a guide etc. etc. but he left us by sayings 'see you tomorrow'. We laughed thinking he was just really keen.
Next morning we were eating breakfast and the hotel manager comes to our table and explains that Jake was outside and was angry at us for not meeting him at 8am. The manager said he has had run ins with the guy before, has banned him from his hotel and recommends we go no where near him. He said he's stolen from previous guests and did something sus to an American lady that prompted her husband to beat him in the hotel lobby. Great. Not too long later we are in Petra and Jake searches us out, he was super angry and got right in Jonos face to tell us he's going to kill the hotel owner. Luckily Jono talked him down before I felt the need to punch him in the face for being such a smarmy loser.
Petra was the capital of the Nabataean Arabs. It is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world and is one of the seven wonders of the world.
More than 2,000 years ago the Nabataea's carved this city into the mountains but many years after the civilization was destroyed the city was 'lost' to the outside world. Petra was rediscovered in 1812 by a Swedish explorer and due to the centuries that lapsed before the rediscovery of the city by the outside world, Petra was named the "Lost City". The Nabatean Kingdom, along with its capital Petra, was surrounded by many ancient kingdoms and civilizations including the Pharaohs to the west, Tadmor to the north, and Mesopotamia to the east. The Nabateans were famous for their advanced irrigation systems and water harvesting mechanisms.
When you enter Petra you walk down the Siq to the city remains. The Siq, starts at the Dam and ends at the opposite side of the vault, a split rock with a length of about 1200m and a width of 3 to 12m, and height up to about 80m. On both sides of the Siq, there are channels to draw water from Wadi Musa (the Valley of Moses), from outside the city to the inside. As we walked the kilometre through the Siq Sue comments "it doesn't make Stanley Chasm look all that great!' amen. Walking round the last corner and through the opening to see the Treasury was amazing! It was named the Treasury because the Bedouins used to believe the urn sculpted at the top contained great treasures. Apparently the bullet marks and scars in and around the urn are from Bedouins who wanted to break open the sculpture for its non-existent treasure. In reality the urn represented a memorial for royalty. The Treasury consists of two floors and is almost 40 meters high.
After you pass the Treasury, the Siq widens gradually until it reaches an open area, the Street of Facades. On both sides of the valley, there are many Nabataean burial tombs richly decorated and beautiful. The whole of Petra is massive and amazing. Jono and I split from Sue and Andrew for the morning and hiked up and around and through all the tombs and passageways we could find. I loved it, the chance to go for a mad walk again, exploring off the main track and taking many a photo. After a picnic lunch and a break from the incredibly hot sun we missioned it up the Monastry. Dating back to early in the first century BC, the building consists of two floors and is larger than the Treasury, with a width of up to 50 meters and a height of 50 meters! It is thought that the Monastery was converted into a monastery for monks in the Byzantine period. We'd figured that by this time of day Sue and Andrew had probably punched out and were currently relaxing in a cool café sipping a coffee. We struggled up the steps until finally we reach the Monastry! It is amazing!! We even managed to get a photo with no one else in it! Onwards we went to get to a high point for a better view and who do you think we should find? Sue and Andy!
There are donkeys, camels and horses everywhere. They are 'looked after' by Bedouin guys who harass you and follow you and beg you to take a ride. We said so many 'no thank you's' it's not funny! I really was loving walking around, something that no one seemed to understand, but we stayed really chilled even when men would practically try to drag you onto the horse. Also the fact we were on a tight budget and it had cost us $160 to enter the site for 1 day I wasn't going to be ripped of any more. Sue and Andrew had thought they'd get in on the experience and take one up the horridly steep path we'd climbed, cracking idea in hindsight given the effort involved in the heat of the day. The guy who was harassing them said I'll get you up the mountain for 15 dinars, they agreed and hopped on, half way up the hill the guy says ok stop now, the donkey is tired and its now its 25 dinars. Damn.
They call Petra the Rose Red City because when the sun is rising or setting the light on the rocks make the whole place glow pink! I took so many photos on the way out, including a little off road scramble to get a pic on our own. Our feet were dead when we finally made it back up the hotel. We stopped off at a pastry shop for delicious treats and wined up in the lobby for pre dinner drinks. Such a tired, exhausted happy.
That night I was sound asleep when rapid gun fire in the street below jolted me awake!! I practical jumped on Jono, my mind racing, where should we hide etc. Jono fully dismissed it as fireworks and such was his conviction I went straight back to sleep. Next morning I mentioned it to the guy at the front desk and he laughed. Sorry, he says, that was a guy who'd had his car stolen last week and it has been returned to him. He was so happy he wanted to celebrate. He mimes shooting an automatic weapon at the sky. Haha. Jordan ay.

Joseph Strathie, Henry Tremblett house is similar in design to other houses built by the Strathie family. The symmetrical, Georgian style, three bay façade with a steep pitched gable roof and two chimneys is reminiscent of houses such as William Alexander House - which is said to have set the architectural tone for Bonavista in the early 19th century. Henry Tremblett House also features its own unique elements such as highly decorative bargeboard on the gable ends and heavy rain caps over most of the windows. Finally, despite its age and the harsh climate of Newfoundland, Henry Tremblett House is in good condition and stands as a testament to the quality of craftsmanship of the Strathie family.
Henry Tremblett House has historic value for its association with successful Bonavista fisherman Henry Tremblett, for whom the house was built. It was rare for a fisherman to have a house of this size and grandeur during this period. Furthermore, it was uncommon for a fisherman to be able to afford a member of the Strathie dynasty to design his house. Tremblett was highly successful and is noted as having a large account with James Ryan Limited in Bonavista. Henry Tremblett House evokes a sense of time and place when the Newfoundland fishery was in its heyday. This house stands as a physical reminder of the affluence enjoyed by some fishermen during this period. Moreover, the building stands as a physical demarcation of the different levels of success between men of the same occupation.

La Follette School student Abby Swetz presented her one-person play, An UnCommon Core, at the 2018 Fresh Fruit Festival MainStage in New York in July. The hour-long play recounts one heartbreaking year in her middle-school teaching career.
Presented by All Out Arts, the Fresh Fruit Festival celebrates the LGBTQ community's unique perspective, creativity, and diversity, and builds links among the LGBTQ artistic communities. Performances were at The Wild Project.
During the play, Swetz shepherds her eighth-grade students through a year of racism, police brutality, and homophobic violence – processed by the power of her students' poetry. She previously performed the play at the Kansas City Fringe Festival and the empowHER Reading Series. The website Review Fix published an interview with Swetz on July 11, when her play opened in New York.
After seven years as a public school teacher, Swetz enrolled at the La Follette School in fall 2017 with the intent to enter government or nonprofit advocacy work. She received the 2017 GSAFE Educator of the Year award and a 2017 Rockwell Award for Outstanding Cooperating Teachers from UW–Madison's School of Education.
In addition to her play, Swetz wrote a chapter for the recently published book We Rise to Resist, Voices from a New Era in Women's Political Action, edited by Paula vW. Dáil and Betty L. Wells. Her chapter, Stand Up. Speak Out. Be Kind, focuses on the 2016 presidential election.
"As a U.S. history teacher, my ultimate goal is to create active citizens out of my students, and in this country, that means I want them to grow up to be informed voters, …" she wrote. "This year above all, they got it."
In the chapter, Swetz shares the election social contract her students created, her struggle to remain politically neutral in the classroom, and the inspiring writing activity her students did November 9, 2016.

Some accommodation establishments are very lucky. They don't need to do very much to wow their guests...the scenery does it for them.
1. MacDonald Hotel in Kinlochleven, just south of Fort William in Scotland. This area is otherworldly. A long, thin loch with inky-black water, guarded on either side by the brooding Ben Nevis mountain range. The town is at the end of a road, and you really do feel like you're in Lord of the Rings.
2. The Cottage Hotel in Hope Cove, England. Unknown to many local tourists, Hope Cove is what I've always imagined a seaside fishing village in Britain to be. Small, remote, away from the main roads, craggy coast, stormy sea, windy...it's a must-do.
3. Worm's Head Hotel on Rhossili Peninsula, Wales. This hotel looks out over miles of beach, and the Worm's Head island just offshore. It's an untouched area, designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
4. Thistle House in St Catherine's, near Inveraray in Scotland. Wake up to a view with Inveraray Castle reflecting on the mirror surface of the loch. 'Nuff said.
5. Castle Cottage, in Harlech, Wales. To the right is Mount Snowdon, in front is a loooong and wild beach, and to the left is the regal Harlech Castle (a World Heritage Site). Sit in Castle Cottage's bar and stare at all of this, then tell me there isn't a divinity of some sort.
It's very tough to leave the following out...Eddrachilles Hotel (Scourie, Scotland), Corriegour Lodge (Spean Bridge, Scotland), Torridon Inn (Torridon, Scotland), Dunchraigaig Guest House(Kilmartin, Scotland), The Ship Inn (Mousehole, Cornwall) and Cornerways (St Ives, Cornwall) and on the white cliffs of Dover, Varne Ridge.

Whether you are a new product entering the market or a well-established brand, there is always room for improvement to generate more sales. Here are 3 Simple Techniques You Can Do To Improve Sales.
Be Social
The easiest, most cost-effective thing you can do is social media on social media. Spend some time to make sure that you have a steady stream of activity online. Try and get 2 weeks in advance so you can always have something ready when life gets busy. Customers who see a burst of activity from you and then periods of silence may suspect you are only online because sales are down and shy away. By frequently using social media with consistency, your customers will come to expect and look forward to your content and position yourself as the brand leader. Also, engage with your leading customers and turn them into your brand advocates and cheerleaders!
Generate a Buzz
Whenever anything noteworthy happens within your brand, send a press release to the media. The idea is to grab any free coverage possible. Get involved with community events. Consider hosting classes, meetings or other networking events in and around town. Use a unique promotional event to generate a buzz about your brand.
Find ways to connect and engage with influencers online. Share and retweet their content, or reach out to them via email. Mention or tag them in posts, and participate in discussions on their social media or blog posts.
You never know where these types of connections can lead, and the potential to get a link or mention from a well-known industry expert makes your efforts worthwhile.
Advertise More
When sales slow you may think it may be time to scale back the marketing dollars, you should probably be advertising more. In the words of William Wrigley of the chewing gum empire, "That is like shutting off the fuel to an airplane in mid-flight." It is wise to increase advertising efforts during slower sales periods to ramp up sales. Always measure and monitor what you are doing. If something is working, direct more funds to it. If it is not working, move to try something new.
Promotional advertising not only is important for generating new customer awareness but also improves retention reminding your existing customers that you're still around. Advertising helps to raise your target demographic's awareness of issues they may be unfamiliar with as well as educate them on the related benefits of your product or service.

Grady's pt. 2
Adderley takes five packets of sugar from the holder at the end of the table. He lines them up evenly, holds their paper tops between the thumb and forefinger of his left hand and shakes all of the sugar to the bottom of the packets. Then he tears off the tops and dumps the contents into his mug of bitter brown coffee.
Oliveri shudders in response, clouding but not stirring his coffee with cream. He sets the empty plastic container in the middle of the table where it is soon joined by Adderley's empty sugar packets and the intern's two cream containers.
"Empty seat next." Adderley's spoon clinks against the inside of his coffee mug.
"Is there a paper there? Or an empty coffee mug?"
Adderley approaches his coffee as though it is Chateau Margeaux. He sips. He closes his eyes and ponders. He sips again and then he smiles.
"Mr. Nuñez."
"He's an older Mexican man. He always wears a nice straw cowboy hat and a plaid shirt. His shoulders are kind of bent. I think he's Theresa's landlord or something." Theresa is Adderley's weekend counterpart at The Brenlee News.
"Right. He's a regular. Never says a thing." Oliveri makes a mental note to ask Theresa about Nuñez. "Next to him is Maxon Cantwell, right?"
"Is he the old guy who sings the national anthem on Wagon Wheel Day?"
"That's him."
"He's got good posture for an old guy."
"Retired military."
Adderley's eyes dart from the counter to Oliveri and then he not-so-nonchalantly looks out the window at the construction site next door.
"What's up?"
"Andy Currie is looking over at me."
"Is he in uniform?"
"Is he dressed for a fire?"
"Yes. I mean, no. He has his walkie talkie though and his Volunteer Firefighter cap is hanging on the coatrack."
Oliveri calmly directs his intern. "Now, look back at me like we're talking baseball now."
Adderley looks across the table at Oliveri and sips his coffee. "Sorry. I thought he was going to make me laugh."
"Yeah, Andy does have a knack for that."
"He has the goofiest face. Sometimes."
The door to Grady's opens as Oliveri asks, "Who else?"
A little befuddled, Adderley answers as quickly as he can, "Another empty — on the corner there. Then Officer Hernandez and another empty-"
And everyone is interrupted by the loud new arrival, "Howdy fellas. What's for breakfast back there Grady? Helluva day, am I right? Hey there, Mr. Langen. Preacher. Frankie. Batmaxon and El Robin. Andy Pandy and El Capitain. Busy day you got, Grady."
As the new arrival runs through his Good Old Boy Routine, Oliveri speaks quietly to Adderley who looks a little frightened, "Perry Foltz, right? Hasn't read the paper or heard the news."
"I doubt he'd care. He's in full shitkicker regalia too." Adderley whispers over his coffee.
"Yeah, I can smell his boots over here. At least he's working anyway." Perry was a cowboy who arrived too late for a life on the range and spent most of his days drinking and talking rodeo at the local bars, unless one of the few remaining local ranchers had a little work to keep him sober. He was only two years older than Adderley but spoke with every man as an equal and perhaps because he took the responsibility and privilege of such an attitude with equanimity no one considered him precocious, only rough hewn and spirited.
The Good Old Boy Routine continues. "Well, hell fellas I'll sit next to the Mexican. Shit, what's the big deal."
Adderley watches him take the corner seat between Andy and Hernandez as though he's doing everyone a favor, but thinks he sees him looking genuinely pleased with his position.
From the kitchen, Grady says only "Perry."
"Sorry, Grady. Gotta watch my language." He half mumbles to the group.
Trying lamely to make light of the cowboy's noisome entrance, Andy asks "How drunk are you Perry?"
"Not very, Andy. Not very at all."
Hernandez slides Perry his copy of The Brenlee News. He glances at the headline and then tips his battered grey cowboy hat back and leans over to read the front page. Everyone is silent. The eggs and hashbrowns sizzle on the grill. The coffee maker drips. Ice falls in the ice machine. Perry leans back and removes his hat. Now unshielded from the flourescent lights, the dirt and sweat of the previous day or two of work become visible across his forehead and cheeks. Oliveri gives up the pretense of having Adderley do his looking for him and turns to see that what Andy thought was drink is clearly the giddiness of exhaustion now draining from the young man's body. "Well, shit. What is this?"
No one answers. No one can look at Perry for more than a moment at a time. They gaze into their breakfasts or mugs of coffee instead of his red-rimmed eyes, slack mouth, and the tears racing without a sound to his chin. Hernandez gently takes back his paper and then steps behind the counter to pour the cowboy a coffee. Grady brings platters of eggs, pancakes, toast, hashbrowns, and bacon out to Oliveri and Adderley who know exactly where they are and who's there with them.

Project Description
Nickel Basin Federal Development Corporation wanted to update their website to better provide their valuable resources to their clients. Nickel Basin already had a previously established brand that needed to be presented in a friendlier, more inviting manner. Design de Plume created this change by providing new photographs, updated graphics, and new layouts that focused on Nickel Basin's "growth" identity as an economic development agency.
Our experience working with several economic developers and our knowledge of their demographics, allowed us to create a site that provides easier to access information in a way that encourages participation.
Economic developers face a challenge when it comes to attracting motivated entrepreneurs and business-minded clients. They need to provide a trust-worthy platform that creates an immediate sense of trust and positive energy.

The City of Rio Rancho has finally updated their website. with all the broken links and lack of purpose, It was badly in need of a update. They still have a while to go to catch up to Albuquerque's website. Also, no RSS feed.
This Observer article has some more information. What this article seems to leave out, which seems to me to be important, is a link to the website. Also, the Observer doesn't have a RSS feed. Why is this so hard people!
I need a lawnmower. Despite the fact that I haven't been able to actually water the lawn, nature has conspired to provide me with weeds. No no. It couldn't sprout grass, it had to sprout all manners of plants that are not grass. Although my Black & Decker CST2000 12 Volt 12″ Cordless GRASSHOG Trimmer / Edger does a good job, it's not up to the task of mowing my lawn.
I have no desire to deal with the tomfoolery of a gas powered device. I'm a modern man, and I'm willing to accept the limitations of a electric powered lawnmower and allow the power plant to do the polluting far away rather than generate the pollution in my back yard. Lets then, stick to what I know, Black & Decker.
At first I looked at the Black & Decker MM875 19″ Electric Mulching Mower. I gotta have a mulcher to fill my compost bins, otherwise don't waste my time. The reviews seem positive, and it seems to meet my needs. Although it may test the limits of my needs, I've already said I know going into this that there will be limitations and at about $200 I can handle it. This, however is a corded mower. I can't bee seen mowing my backyard with a cord hanging off my mower. What am I, some kind of jerk?
Moving on to cordless models I find the Black & Decker CMM1000 24 Volt 19″ Cordless Rechargeable Mulching Mower. Yes yes, I know i read the reviews. I can handle the limitations of a electric mower already. I'm willing to go over the lawn over and over again to get it all cut. One thing I failed to initially notice was the price, at $400 – $500. That's in US dollars.
I guess I won't look like some sort of jerk pushing around a corded mower, for that matter any kind of mower. At least for now. By the way, looks like iRobot is going to come out with a Robotic Lawnmower. Oh sure, it will be just as cheap. I will buy two.
I know what I said, that the sprinkler system is going to be my priority. Give me a break thought, the back yard is sitll pretty muddy and now full of weeds. I'm now sure that the sprinkler project will have to wait till next year.
It's on to indoor projects, the first of which is the master bedroom and bathroom. I had a demolition party scheduled for the end of August, where I invited some of my friends over to demolish the house. Surprisingly, most of them didn't show up. Enough did to get most of the work done.
For the bedroom the goal was to take the closet from the neighboring bedroom to create a bigger overall closet. This was accomplished.For the bathroom the goal was to remove the framed in shower. Both of these were accomplished. After the demo was completed, with drywall and crap all over the place, is when I questioned what I have done. After two trips to the dump and probably 6 hours of clean up I'm not sure I did make the right decision.
The framed in shower was not usable. It had been leaking pretty badly for quite a while. The lower framing was rotted, the water had leaked into the bedroom and there was even plant roots growing about a foot up the interiors of the wall. One doesn't expect mold in a dry state such as New Mexico, but there was plenty of mold in the walls.
The next step is to plan for the rebuild. Since it's a small room, 7 foot by 8 foot, I'd like to put in a corner whirlpool tub with a shower. I think I can get a 54 inch by 54 inch corner tub to fit. I also plan to put in a electric radiant floor heating. The plan here shown is from Warmly Yours.
Can anyone loan me a few thousand dollars?
John Fleck points out that the US Drought Monitor has large parts of New Mexico lightly colored, meaning that there are no drought conditions in those areas.
I say, wait till the election. You can expect most of the drought levels to be raised to orange, or elevated. It's quite likely that al Qaeda will increase the drought in the United States to try to keep the Republicans out of office.

Check out this totally cool house in San Francisco. Since my taste is more around the contemporary/modern/industrial/whatever-you-want-to-call-it, this house really appeals to me. The use if scrap airplane parts is a nice feature. I also like the way they used outdoor fixtures, like the light switches, indoors.

Ivermectin Tablets
Available in 3mg, 6mg, & 12mg.
Ivermectin is a medication that is effective against many types of parasites.[1] It is used to treat head lice,[2] scabies,[3] river blindness,[4]strongyloidiasis,[5] and lymphatic filariasis, among others.[6] It can be either applied to the skin or taken by mouth. The eyes should be avoided.[2]
Common side effects include red eyes, dry skin, and burning skin.[2] It is unclear if it is safe for use during pregnancy, but is likely acceptable for use during breastfeeding.[7] It is in the avermectin family of medications and works by causing an increase in permeability of cell membrane resulting in paralysis and death of the parasite.[2]
Ivermectin was discovered in 1975 and came into medical use in 1981.[6][8] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system.[9] The wholesale cost in the developing world is about US$0.12 for a course of treatment.[10] In the United States it costs $25–50.[5] In other animals it is used to prevent and treat heartworm among other diseases

Last season, I did a post showing where everyone was after exactly half a season of play, 41 games. I did it again this year. I actually spent about 2 hours getting it all in order last week but kept forgetting to post it. We're not a few games past the mid-season point, but whatevs. Here is what the standings looked like.
Archive for the 'Colorado Avalanche' Category
Halfway through the season…January 19, 2009
1-1 isn't bad!December 8, 2008
That's the Stars record of the last 2 games.
Wednesday, the Stars played the Edmonton Oilers the day after defeating the Calgary Flames 3-1. It wasn't too great of a loss, 5-2. I can't say I didn't expect it, only because even last season when the Stars had back to back games they won one and lost the other. Mike Modano got the 2 goals for the Stars. He's really having a great season, playing like he's young again.
Then Friday night the Stars were back home against the Avalanche. The last time the two teams met back in October the Stars fell 5-4. This time was different. The game was scoreless until Toby Petersen got the Stars up 1-0 in the second period. Marty Turco was a-mazing. Until the last minute, when Svatos got one past Turco after the Avs pulled Budaj. It remained scoreless through overtime and eventually Mike Modano won the game for the Stars. It was a fantastic win, and it seems this Avery thing has only brought the team together. Finally actually playing as a team. It's awesome to see, and it's about time it happened.
Stars taking on the AvsOctober 18, 2008
I have a few minutes before leaving to get to the game, so I thought I'd do a quick update. It's no secret that the Avs haven't had a great start this season, either, starting it 1-3. At least we're 1-2-1. The Stars had a hard practice yesterday, so tonight will be interesting!
I hate losing.October 2, 2008
I know, it's only the preseason. But whatever. I hate losing.
Stars lost 4-3 to the Avs.
Stop losing.
So the Stars are now 0-2 in the pre-seasonSeptember 25, 2008
Thank goodness it's only pre-season!! (BTW I has laptop so I finally has internets at home yay!)
Anyway, the final score was 4-2 Avs. With Marty Turco in goal. I will just look at these games as a warm up for the regular season, even though I really really really REALLY hate to lose.
Tipp had a Morrow-Ribeiro-Brunnstrom line tonight, and that's who scored Dallas' 2 goals; with Ribeiro getting the first and Morrow the second.
Penalties weren't as crazy tonight as they were the first game, 13 in total, which is less than Krys Barch got in the 1st period Tuesday.
Did I mention I hate to lose?
Round 2 predictionsApril 24, 2008
While my last predictions were more for fun than accuracy (I was 1-7 with them. Ya…), I'm going to try to be more accurate this time.
Montreal Canadiens (1) vs. Philadelphia Flyers (6)
Like the Bruins, Montreal won all the regular season games between these 2 teams. Sure, the Flyers are a bunch of thugs sometimes, but I think the Canadiens can hold them off. I'm liking the Canadiens chances: Canadiens in 6 (Let's not set anymore police cares on fire okay?)
Pittsburgh Penguins (2) vs. New York Rangers (5)
I really know nothing about either team other than Cindy plays for one and a future Vogue intern plays for the other. I think it could go either way. While the Pens swept the Sens, the Rangers played a gritty 7-game series. I'm not sure if the Pens, even with Cindy, can hold off this team. So I'm going for Rangers in 7
Detroit Red Wings (1) vs. Colorado Avalanche (6)
Oh yes, the 2 teams that top my most-hated list; with Detroit being 1 and Colorado being 1.5. So who do I think will come out on top? I'm not really sure. Detroit showed themselves to be quite beatable during their run with Nashville, and I think Colorado could capitalize on it easily. So I'm going on a limb here: Avalanche in 6.
San Jose Sharks (2) vs. Dallas Stars (5)
Yet again, everyone is rooting against my team, making us the underdogs. Again. That's fine, being an underdog worked to our advantage in round 1. If the last game of the season is any indictation, they can throw their weight around at us all they want because we'll still come out ahead. I think the Stars can do it in 6 again.
Okay, want to keep up with some of the other teams in the playoffs? Here are some blogs I highly recommend:
Montreal Canadiens: Four Habs Fans
Philadelphia Flyers: Flyers.Femme
Pittsburgh Penguins: The Pensblog
New York Rangers: Battle of NY
Detroit Red Wings: No Pun Intended
Colorado Avalanche: Mile High Hockey
San Jose Sharks: Battle of California
Dallas Stars: Ya, you can just read here.
Also, if you don't already read them: I highly recommend reading The Pensblog and Battle of California on a daily basis. The end.
Round 2 Match UpsApril 23, 2008
Real quick before I head to bed, here are the matchups for round 2.
Montreal Canadiens (1) vs. Philadelphia Flyers (6)
Pittsburgh Penguins (2) vs. New York Rangers (5)
Detroit Red Wings (1) vs. Colorado Avalanche (6)
San Jose Sharks (2) vs. Dallas Stars (5)
Possible Match-Ups for Round 2April 22, 2008
So while a tad bored, I decided to look up our records against our two possible foe's for round 2 to decide who I'd rather play more. Granted, we played one team twice as much as the other, but still. We can get an idea as to who we played better against in the regular season. I know, I know, postseason changes everything, but it's still a nice baseline.
First up: San Jose Sharks
I'm sure we will never forget that last game of the year, which the Stars managed to win. That game alone shows me we could take on the Sharks. But what about how we did during the season? We managed to come out even going 4-2-2. We did, however, manage to out score them 24-21 even with the oh so great Nabokov in net.
The other possibility is the Colorado Avalanche.
I hate this team, I don't hide this. And yes, it's because I'm bitter about some previous playoff series where we were knocked out. This season, though, the Stars weren't too bad against them, it was even at 2-2 with the Stars outscoring 13-8. I think it's time for payback, so I think our chances against this team as good as well.
I really got nothing done as far as this goes, because I think we could face either team and come out on top. They're pretty much even with the way our club played them this season.
So we go to the back up plan: who would I rather have the blasted Detroit Red Wings play? Their possible opponents being the Colorado Avalanche or the Calgary Flames. Judging by their play against these two teams in the regular season, I'm rooting for the Flames here. Colorado were shut out 3 times by the Wings and were outscored 11-2. Ouch. The Flames, on the other hand, were able to hand the Red Wings a shutout of their own! And the scoring wasn't so uneven, being 13-7 in the Wings favor. So..with all that being said; Go Flames!

Candy Cane (Peppermint) Simple Syrup
This sweet peppermint simple syrup gets its flavor from candy canes. Forget spending all your money on expensive coffee syrups. It's also perfect for holiday giving!
It is my holiday siren. Resistance is futile. Cookies, cakes, frosting, even candles and handsoap- BRING IT ON! But especially coffee. Peppermint belongs in my coffee.
I love making simple syrups at home partly because when the urge arises I NEED flavored coffee right now, but mostly because I'm cheap. I like a lot of flavor in my coffee and can go through a tiny bottle in an embarrassingly short amount of time. I have made peppermint simple syrup with peppermint extract before and I love the results (I will include that in the recipe below as well) but I thought of this fun and inexpensive alternative and I just had to share with you.
If you aren't turning out peppermint baked goods at an alarming rate like some people (ahem), then you may not have much motivation for buying a $5 bottle of peppermint extract just so you can make your own coffee syrup at home. But I'm willing to bet you have a $1 box of candy canes lying around this time of year.
You are going to unwrap those candy canes and throw them in some water and boil them down into a delicious syrup for your coffee, mochas, frappuchinos, and whatever else your little heart desires. I found that a 12:1 ratio worked best for my tastes and I didn't need to add any sugar. Tweak the recipe as needed to your liking. Also this is best prepared in advance as it gives the flavor time to deepen but none will be the wiser if you sneak a few Tablespoons immediately.
Candy Cane Simple Syrup
Yield: 1 Cup
Prep Time:10 minutes
Cook Time:15 minutes
Total Time:25 minutes
This sweet peppermint simple syrup gets its flavor from candy canes. Forget spending all your money on expensive coffee syrups. It's also perfect for holiday giving!
1 cup water
12 standard size candy canes (5 1/2 inches)
- Unwrap candy canes and place in a pot with 1 cup water.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and continue stirring until candy is dissolved completely.
- Let cool and store refrigerated for up to 1 week. Best if chilled overnight but can be used immediately.
- I like to add 2-3 Tablespoons to my coffee.
- This can me made in the microwave but you must use caution and use a microwave-safe glass dish (I recommend Pyrex).
- If you would like a stronger flavor you can add up to 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract (found in the baking aisle by the vanilla extract).
- Alternatively if you would like to only use peppermint extract and not candy canes you can use this ratio: 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, 1 t peppermint extract.

Companies such as Redsnapper, who specialise in web design and development services in London, can show you how collaboration during the design process ensures the most positive outcomes for your finished website.

Make fonts bigger than you think they ought to be, particularly for headings and calls to action, to ensure they grab the visitor's attention. Fonts should always be clear and legible, so consider your site visitors and make sure that they can read your content clearly without having to strain their eyes.
5 Stand back and squint
If you move back a distance from your computer and squint at the screen, you'll get some idea of the main focus of your website as a visitor would see it for the first time. What stands out? What elements seem to disappear?
6 Let white space sing out

Some of the issues that are wrapped up in partner rights for gas and lesbians include:
- Adoption and parenting issues
- Hospital visiting rights/living will issues
- Marriage/divorce
- Custody issues
- And More
Unfortunately, in many areas of the country legal issues have not caught up with partner rights for gays and lesbians. Due to this, it is often necessary for the gay and lesbian community to fight for their rights and this dictates a need for legal help. Finding the right attorney for it means that they have to find one experienced in not only family or domestic law, but also gay and lesbian issues as well. That can be difficult, depending upon what area of the country that you live in.
Gay and lesbian marriage has been a hot button issue, especially as far as which state(s) allow it and what sort of rights come with it. That is why some attorneys are choosing to focus or concentrate on this type of law. They see the need for it and are passionate about getting this segment of society the same rights and freedoms as heterosexual couples have.
If you are gay or lesbian, and are in need of legal help for a domestic issue or feel as if your rights are being violated, take the time to find legal representation that will work with you and for you. Partner rights for gays and lesbians need to be fought for and that means you will have to find the right legal help for you and your needs.
