Identifying and collecting wild mushrooms can be fun for people of all ages, but it can also be daunting. If you’re looking for edible wild mushrooms, your ability to properly identify the mushrooms is crucial--and can mean life or death. Quite a few species of wild mushrooms are perfectly safe and edible, some of which are easier to identify than others. The most important part of identifying edible wild mushrooms is taking your time and double-checking all the characteristics.
Look for pear-shaped or round, whitish mushrooms in lawns, pastures, barren areas, or open woods, on soil or dead wood. These edible wild mushrooms are called “puffballs” (Lycoperdon spp. and Calvatia spp.) and they can range in diameter from just 1 inch to 12 inches or larger. Slice the puffball from top to bottom, ensuring that the inside is completely white and solid, with no signs of a stalk, gills and cap.
Identify the edible shaggy mane (Coprinus comatus) by its cap of brownish, shaggy, upturned scales. The shaggy mane mushroom can grow 4 to 6 inches tall and has a long, cylinder shape to its cap with whitish gills on a white stalk. The cap and gills dissolve into a black, inky fluid as the shaggy mane mushroom matures. This fragile and easily-crumbled mushroom grows in the spring, summer and fall in grass, soil or wood chips, usually in lawns or pastures.
Look on the ground or dead logs in the summer and fall for coral fungi (Clavariaceae), which indeed does resemble coral. Coral fungi look like clumps of upward-pointing stems that are whitish, yellowish or tan in color and can grow up to 8 inches tall.
Recognize morels (Morchella spp.) by their pitted and ridged surfaces. Morels are also called sponge, pinecone and honeycomb mushrooms. Morels can grow 2 to 12 inches tall and their caps are attached directly to the stems. They grow from early spring to early summer.
Identify bearded tooth (Hericium erinaceus) by its clumps of white “fur,” making it resemble a polar bear’s paw. Bearded tooth fungi grow only on trees, logs and stumps in the summer and fall. The fungus can measure up to 12 inches across and is pure white, turning slightly yellowish as it ages.
Look for oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) growing on trees and logs during spring, summer, fall and winter warm spells. This mushroom is whitish or tan with long white gills running between the oyster shell-shaped cap and the off-center stem. Oyster mushrooms are 2 to 8 inches wide and usually grow in overlapping clusters.
Look for trumpet- or funnel-shaped mushrooms with a fruity odor to find chanterelles (Cantharellaceae). One species of chanterelles is brownish-black, but most are bright yellowish-orange and 1 to 6 inches tall. You’ll find these edible mushrooms on the ground, in scattered groups, growing in hardwood forests during summer and fall. Check the underside of the cap to ensure that they’re smooth underneath or have a network of blunt-edged ridges or wrinkles, not gills.
Recognize boletes (Boletaceae) by their brownish or reddish-brown caps and spongy layer of pores on the underside of the cap instead of gills. Boletes resemble a hamburger bun on a thick stalk and can grow up to 10 inches tall and 1 to 10 inches wide. You can find these mushrooms in the summer and fall on the ground under trees, often pine trees.
Identify sulfur shelf mushrooms (Laetiporus sulphureus) by their bright orange-red caps and pale yellow pore surfaces. Sulfur shelf mushrooms grow on trees or dead wood in the summer and fall, emerging in overlapping clusters with their caps attached directly to the wood without stems. These mushrooms can be 2 inches to 12 inches wide.
Look for a cluster of fan-shaped, grayish-brown caps that overlap one another and connected to off-center white stalks that grow from a single thick stem. This mushroom is hen-of-the-woods (Grifola frondosa) and can resemble a large, ruffled chicken. Hen-of-the-woods can grow in extremely large clumps on the ground underneath trees or on stumps. Look for this mushroom in summer and fall.
When collecting wild mushrooms, take only 1/4 or 1/2 of the mushrooms in an area. This will leave adequate food for other animals.
Always bring along a mushroom-identification reference book when you're searching for and collecting mushrooms. Compare the descriptions and pictures carefully with the mushroom specimens you find.
Don't assume that a wild mushroom is edible just because another animal can eat it. Also, don't eat a wild mushroom if you're at all uncertain about whether it's edible.
Beware of confusing morels with false morels, because false morels can be poisonous. False morels have folds, wrinkles and lobes instead of pits and ridges like morels, and their caps hang around the stems like a skirt.
Don't eat boletes that have orange or red spores, because these varieties of boletes are poisonous.

5 Dangers Associated With Drinking Alcohol You Don't Know About But Should!
5 Dangers Associated With Drinking Alcohol You Don’t Know About But Should!
Sipping on a cocktail is an easy way to melt away the stresses of your day, but it comes with a hefty price: excessive drinking is the direct cause of roughly 88,000 deaths a year (1).
It’s estimated that alcohol decreases the lifespan of drinkers by an average of 30 years. Considering that 63% of Americans drink beer and wine regularly, alcohol-related diseases has truly become a public health concern (2).
Alcohol is one of the most widely used drugs, and while some spirits have their benefits, they’re certainly not without risks.
Excessive alcohol consumption is known to cause cancer, particularly of the head, neck, esophagus, liver, breast, and colon (3).
That’s because alcohol (ethanol) is converted by the body into a toxic chemical called acetaldehyde. This chemical damages DNA and prevents cells from repairing themselves. It also causes faster-than-normal liver cell turnover, leaving them more prone to being damaged.
Alcohol inhibits the absorption of anti-cancer nutrients like vitamins A, B, C and D as well Folate.
Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by thinning bones and increased fractures (4). It’s typically experienced by women after menopause, but can earlier in life and may affect men as well.
“Alcohol interferes with the pancreas and its absorption of calcium and vitamin D. Alcohol also affects the liver, which is important for activating vitamin D — which is also important for calcium absorption.” (5).
Alcohol also affects hormone balance, decreasing estrogen to dangerously low levels. Estrogen is important for bone maintenance and density, which is just another reason why you should skip out on your second glass of pinot noir.
Other hormones at play include cortisol and the parathyroid hormone, which increase with regular alcohol consumption and both increase calcium leaching and bone loss.
Alcohol is often used to temporarily treat anxiety and stress, and while it may leave your feeling relaxed and sleepy, it won’t actually make you feel better.
Serious alcohol abuse and depression do hand in hand : approximately one-third of people with major depression also have an alcohol problem. That’s mainly because depressed people are more likely to drink. Alcohol acts as a depressant, meaning that it can worsen depression (6).
Alcohol also damages the brain and can lead to depression. Essentially, although alcohol is a drug, it should never be used to self-medicate or escape reality.
Alcohol really does make you thirsty, and it may be the cause behind the dreaded handover headache (7).
One of the ways it works is by decreasing your body’s production of the anti-diuretic hormone, increasing you urine production and effectively dehydrating you as the night goes on (8).
If you experience any of the following symptoms, put down the beer and swallow a few glasses of water instead (9).
Alcohol is metabolized by the liver, making it the first organ to take a hit as you pound back the drinks. Alcohol damages and even kills liver cells when you consume more than your liver can handle (10).
The more you drink and the more often you sip on a high-alcohol drink, the more likely your are to develop alcoholic fatty liver disease, alcoholic hepatitis, and, eventually, cirrhosis (liver scarring) (11).
As alcohol tolerance increases with time, the quantity of alcohol needed to damage your liver may not even be enough to get you drunk, so it’s best to abstain from alcohol as much as possible. Current guidelines in terms of drinks are no more than 7 glasses of wine a week for women and 14 a week for men.

The world has reached the maturity of Globalization and when the time has turned the globe in to a global village, we can feel the omnipresence of businesses, companies, markets, real estate, information technology etc. One may travel to any number of countries and can find a product of a particular company or the services of a particular organisation in each or all of the country visited. In the present times, when companies want to reach maximum numbers of customers and clients, developing a brand or Tradename or a Trademark that is famous or well known around the corners of the world is the most important thing an entity as a seller can do.
Moving along the widespread and huge markets around the globe, from the elite shopping mall in the downtown to the local hardware store in the country side market, we are easily exposed every day to astonishing queues of Trademarks brilliantly flashing. These Trademarks are the distinguished signs that transmit a myriad of subliminal messages relating to authenticity, origin, quality, reliability, prestige, advantage and various qualities of that particular product or service. It is also interesting to note how the Trademark instantly conceive the trust and goodwill of that particular company or service providers in the mind of a potential consumer.
There are a lot of companies, the trademark of whom fill the consumers with a feeling of trust and confidence upon that company or the product. Assuring the qualities of the product or the service is the basic trait of the Trademark. A well-known and reputed Trademark guarantees the quality and characteristics of the product or service. The well-known Trademark make the user believe that the product or the services delivered are of the same quality and specifications for which it is popularly known to be. In the present era of communication it is quite common that Trademarks related to a company or products are known trans-nationally or at international level. It is not uncommon to see the cloth and leather of the Italy being widespreadly used in India or the electronics of Japan being commonly used in almost every nation of the world. The Tradename used by the business entity is known to the end user or customers at global level and confirm the quality of the product for which it is known. The core idea is that the qualities of the products of the company are already known to the end users who often go with the ‘Tried and Tested policy’ and hence going by the goodwill and reputation of the ‘Trademark’ the user or consumer pays and promotes for the Trademark.
As the IP laws have evolved with time and is currently in its youth, the concept of Trademark protection have largely found its way in the sphere of Business Development. With the evolution of IP Laws and information technology, awareness, with regards to the protection and valuation of IP rights have been nourished and brand owners, authors and inventers are now mindful of the importance and valuation of their Intellectual Property. The concept of Trademark protection and its commercial exploitation have turned Trademarks into assets. The Trademarks can be purchased, sold, licensed or franchised like any other tangible asset. The Trademark do not expire as long as the owner is paying the government fees to avail the protection to its brand. There are trademarks which have been owned, used and exploited by the owner for more than hundred years. Global use of the Trademarks which are known globally earn billions in return of their commercial exploitation.
Still there is a great need to create awareness amongst young proprietors and general public to educate them about the protection of the Intellectual Property Rights.

Matt Letscher has portrayed plenty of historical figures.
Letscher, 45, of Los Angeles, has played Capt. Harrison Love, leader of the California State Rangers, in 1998’s “The Mask of Zorro”; Mike Love (no relation to Harrison Love) in 2000’s “The Beach Boys: An American Family”; attorney Larry King, ex-husband of tennis pro Billie Jean King (not to be confused with the TV/radio host of the same name) in 2001’s “When Billie Beat Bobby”; Sen. Ted Kennedy in 2001’s “Jackie, Ethel, Joan: The Women of Camelot”; Col. Adelbert Ames in 2003’s “Gods and Generals”; defense attorney Paul Ford in 2013’s “Devil’s Knot”; and Joseph P. Kennedy, patriarch of the Kennedy family in a 2014 episode of “Boardwalk Empire.
Recently, Letscher played J. Christopher Stevens – the U.S. Ambassador to Libya who was killed when the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was attacked September 11, 2012 – in the film “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi,” which was released January 15 and placed No. 4 at the box office its opening weekend, grossing $16.2 million.
Based on the 2014 book “13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi” by Mitchell Zuckoff, the movie chronicles the story of the security team that defended the U.S. Consulate when terrorists attacked. Stevens was pronounced dead as a result of this attack – which lasted 13 hours – on September 12, 2012. He was the eighth U.S. Ambassador to be killed in the line of duty.
The oldest of three, Letscher grew up in Grosse Pointe. He graduated from Grosse Pointe South High School in 1988 and the University of Michigan in 1992 with an undergraduate degree in theater/drama. His interest in acting began with an ultimatum from his parents.
“I hit a point in high school where I wasn’t playing sports anymore. I just didn’t have a lot of other things occupying my time. There reached a point where my parents said, ‘You need to find something to do with your time or we will.’ That’s when I – for whatever reason – walked in for an audition with the theater group at school. Yeah, so once I started going, I just really never looked back; it felt very much like home to me,” he recalled.
After moving to L.A., Letscher guest-starred on several TV series before landing his first role in the 1995-96 sitcom “Almost Perfect,” starring Nancy Travis and created by Ken Devine, David Isaacs, and Robin Schiff.
Throughout his acting career, Letscher has gone back and forth between TV and film. If he had to pick a favorite role, he said that four or five come to mind.
“Oftentimes you confuse the role with the circumstances surrounding the role: the cast that’s supporting you, the story that’s being told, the experience you had on that particular project – all that informs your memory of whether that role was a favorite one of yours,” he said.
Narrowing it down, he picked Dr. Nathan Stone, older brother of the titular character played by Jonny Lee Miller on “Eli Stone,” ABC’s 2008-09 legal dramedy.
“Being in a family with two brothers, I felt that the relationship between them was written so honestly and was so heartfelt. I really responded to the material and felt that I understood their relationship immediately. When I started working with Jonny – one of my favorite actors – that only intensified. He’s a very sensitive, intelligent actor and we just responded to each other really well. As soon as I read it on the page, I just felt a connection to it,” said Letscher.
Created by Greg Berlanti and attorney-turned-writer Marc Guggenheim, Eli is a successful lawyer suffering from an inoperable brain aneurysm. He has hallucinations that can be perceived as precognitive visions, making him a modern-day prophet. Eli interprets his hallucinations as signs, helping people in accepting lawsuits with little monetary value but achieving a greater moral good.
Though it was critically acclaimed and had a small yet devoted audience, “Eli Stone” was cancelled after 26 episodes that were spread across two seasons. One of the factors that hurt it was debuting during the 2007-08 Writers Guild of America strike, Letscher stated.
“There were enough wild cards that came together to make it difficult for the show. I loved the show. I wish it could’ve gone on. I don’t have any great explanation of why it didn’t catch on with more people or why we weren’t taken better care of. Sometimes, it’s just a sad confluence of events that leads to a demise of a show,” said Letscher.
Currently, Letscher’s web-series “One and Done” – which he created, wrote, produced, directed, and starred in – launched at the beginning of 2016. He’s also slated to reprise his role as the villainous Reverse-Flash later this season on “The Flash” – Berlanti’s super-hero drama – despite dying last season.

Hi Susanne, A handbook for Crones written by Crones, now that would be perfection! I would order a copy tomorrow! Thank you for another one of your rich, reflective book reviews, as always. Great dreams! I can’t get enough of the word “Crone” at the moment, as I find myself moving ever closer to this beautiful stage of womanhood. Over a year ago I decided to finally stop colouring my hair … my long-awaited “Croning” years I tell myself have irreversibly begun. Blessings always, Deborah.
Hi Debrah, so nice to hear from you!
Did you know that I stoped dying my hair after Trista Hendren wrote about it in her guest blog about mother Earth: http://mindfunda.com/earth-2/ I had not realised before how much that hurted our earth..
Thank you so much for your generous words, and for the other link Susanne. I’m so pleased I stopped poisoning the earth too. I only follow a handful of blogs, so am glad I discovered yours. I hope the day finds you well. Warm wishes, Deborah.
Thanks Susanne for sharing aspects of this book with us. Context would have been an added useful feature I agree. But I like the idea of reading it as a collection of poems or stories in which we could find resonance which could trigger memories of dreams the reader may have had and forgotten.
Lidia’s dreams are pretty powerful … I like the one’s you picked out to show how fertile the older woman can be, even if she has long passed her child bearing days. And of course, your little cartoons are so spot on!
Thank you for your comment. Having such a good dream memory as Lidia has, one might get lost in the wilderness of dreams. Lidia is a source of inspiration by sharing all those dreams. Wouldn’t it be a fun project if women like you, Lidia and other Cornes could work together, writing the world’s first Handbook for Crones? Filled with initiations, incubations and ways of dream interpretations!

Проблемы языкового обучения авиаспециалистов в России и их решение. Часть 2 – Пути решения проблем.
Авиадиспетчер без настоящего английского — это возможно ?
Dear Michael, Mike and colleagues, I would like to share my understanding of ICAO Scale with you and ask for your advice whether I am right or wrong.
As we know, the Scale is called “ICAO language proficiency rating scale”, not “ICAO radiotelephony proficiency rating scale”. What makes me think that the Scale cannot and shall not be used for evaluating phraseology?
Pronunciation. The requirements are the same both for General English and RTF.
Structure. There are no complex grammatical structures in RTF (due to obvious reason); reduced forms of the verb are common practice, so Grammar of RTF cannot be rated according to the Scale.
Vocabulary. Vocabulary of RTF shall be neither “idiomatic”, nor “nuanced, and sensitive to register”. Moreover, “one word — one meaning” is a requirement in phraseology. Communicants should understand each other easily.
Fluency. “Speaking at length with a natural, effortless flow” is a nightmare in high-intensity areas. RTF requires a rate of speech of 100 words per minute, and it should be concise. Some of the Moscow ATCOs who have started their English course, are trying now to show their achievements while communicating with foreign pilots. They may use three times more words than in standard “Say again”. It takes a lot of time and efforts to cut short such lexical diarrhea.
Comprehension. I doubt that Chapter XII of PANS-ATM 4444 gives an opportunity to demonstrate “comprehension of linguistic and cultural subtleties”.
Interaction, as well as Pronunciation, is fully acceptable both for RTF and GE evaluation. (“Deals adequately with apparent misunderstandings by checking, confirming, or clarifying”).
These statements make me think that the Scale should be used for what it has been developed: evaluation of General English. Situations when pilots and controllers use «unrestricted» speech instead of formulaic ICAO language are common place, and that is why some of us think that at least some parts of RTF can be evaluated according to the ICAO Scale.
If national CAAs were more enthusiastic in implying adherence to ICAO phraseology, the problem we are discussing today might have been, well, not negligible, but not that cute.
ICAO, the house for dozens and dozens of aviation authorities, has developed a language for communication between pilots and controllers, keeping in mind that whenever it is used the communicants shall understand each other irrespectively of their nationality and the land/sea under the wings.
In practice, US have their RTF, UK have their RTF, Canada has its own RTF… Moreover, Germany, Bulgaria, Ukraine have their RTFs, but they are almost a 100% replica of 4444 and 9432. Paying so much of our time to General English and problems of its learning and testing, let us not forget about the necessity to use THE SAME standardized phraseology everywhere.

Create an easy and festive centerpiece for Easter with marshmallow Peeps! You’ll also find recipes for Lemon Peep-tinis and an Easter Peeps Parfait!
My inner 5-year-old can not resist holiday PEEPS®. . .
. . .a fan of marshmallow you ask?
I saw a version of this centerpiece in Phyllis Hoffman Celebrate Spring issue using PEEPS® chicks in egg shells. I added some pastel eggs, egg cups, and paper shred for a few colorful nests and flowers.
Daffodils would have been perfect but ours are spent, but grocery store yellow daisies and some white alstroemeria add a fresh pop of color along with lemons.
An Easter version of a Lemon Drop, with Bunny and/or Chick Peeps on a wooden skewer, and a floating organic viola for garnish.
Or a festive way to serve lemonade for your Easter Egg Hunt~ a Peep swizzle stick with a colored sugar rim glass!
I layered a blend of lemon curd and reduced fat cream cheese with crumbled Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies, whipped cream & berries.
I did a happy dance when I opened the package and saw the third design on the cookie was a watering can not shown on the package!
I love how you used the peeps, Mary. You are so creative!
Love it!!! If this post doesn’t bring a smile to your face, than nothing will.
Using peeps in halved egg shells is a brilliant idea. I think I might try doing that with pastel dyed egg shells to give it even more Spring color.
Your talent and creativity astound me! :-) I’m a new reader to your blog, but already you have become a “Must Read” blog for me.
You can take a common thing like a “peep” and turn it into elegance…How do you do it?….I LOVE the peep in the egg shell…and the peeptini’s are my fav..to look at and to drink!!…Gorgeous table as always!!!
Clever, clever ideas!! I am going to steal a couple, as my grandchildren will love them. Thanks for sharing!!
i have never even seen peeps, i am peepless… thats what i get for growing up on see’s!
This is adorable! I get that magazine, I didn’t notice this! Very clever, Mary! I always buy the peeps, no one eats them! So then they become stone peeps!
Thanks so much for linking up this very Eastery post to Let’s Dish!
Your tablescape is the peep-iest! So cute and love the lemon drop garnishes and the peepfait…um parfait.
I really like your tiered cupcake stand. I really should look for one.
Yours is so pretty. Happy Spring.
I loved this peek into your peeps :) I love the peeps poking out of the egg shells!
Oh, we both used Peeps this week! Love how abundant the tiered server looks. Just beautiful.
Mary, your little peeps in the eggs are darling idea. I’m going to pull out Easter decor soon. Found a few things here in Dallas. Eager to create an Easter table. Thanks for the inspiration.
I am completely in love with this post from the first peep on.
The biddy peep in the eggshell is my favorite part, and the centerpiece is stunning. I also love the peeps in the glass.
Really, Mary, this is one of my favorite things I’ve seen in a month!
Mary, there is way too much cuteness for my eyes this morning! Now I want to take the day off and play with Peeps! I can do the Peep swizzle sticks for our Easter brunch ;o) Then when everyone leaves, I’ll fix myself a lemon Peeptini. (or two) Love this post!
Such a colorful post… and some great ideas.
“Peeptini’s?” I’ll be “peeping” at that recipe.
Oh my, I think this is just the most adorable table I’ve seen in a long long time. I think the peeps certainly take the cake! I love all your combinations. Gosh you are so creative!
Mary, Mary, Mary, how to come up with all these darling ideas? I love visiting you…fun, fun, fun!!!
I love all your Peep creations! So cute!
Hi Mary, I love your peep tablescape. What creative ideas you’ve had. I love the peep Lemon Drop beverages and love, love the peep parfait. I always buy peeps to go in Easter Baskets I make. ADORABLE!
You peeps are so cute! I am amazed at your creativity and how you constantly are able to share something new and unique with us. Peeptini??? I will be happy to join you for one of those and I insist on a Peep swizzle stick! I will also have to look in the market for a package of springtime chessman cookies. Thank you for sharing such creative ideas.
Loved the peeps ideas. Your blog is a joy to feast my eyes on while my mouth waters. Keep up the good work. I have a hard time knowing how to do blogs etc.
My inner child would eat all of them…..
I can hear the buzz all over blogland… HOW CUTE! What a fabulous idea!!!! So creative and colorful and so full of spring!!!! Every post gets better than the next, Mary! You are AMAZING!
What a beautiful centerpiece! Sooo pretty!
oh my …. I started dipping my peeps in white and milk/dark chocolate and putting sprinkles on them!!! they are ssooooo gooooood!!! took them to a church social gathering last evening and they were certainly a hit!!!!
Your Ideas are so Peeping cute!!!!! I love how you did peeptinis. I had to pin it!!!
Love the Peeptinis! And everything else,too.
Too cute!!!!! Usually I don’t get excited about Peeps, but these recipes are so cute!
Wanted to let you know I featured these on my blog in a collection of “Peeps” Ideas! So Cute!
I love, love your Peeps ideas! My mother just loved them and we would buy them for he on all occasions. They are a fond reminder of her. Easter is my favorite holiday, so I do love to decorate for it. Thanks!
Love what you do…charming ideas with a touch of magic that is pure delight!
Just found this post via Pinterest. So adorable! I love to put Peeps on top of cupcakes, but I’m going to try the parfait idea this year.
Pingback: Six Sweet Treats for Easter!
Oh, I love me some Peeps!!! Thanks for posting all of these great ideas for using them! I saw your post over at Stone Gable blog.
I love this idea to use peeps in your decor and food. It would certainly keep me from eating them, plus they are inexpensive!
Great article. I will be facing some of these issues as well.
those peeptinis looks so cute and yummy! The peeps on the skewers is a great idea!
May I use the photo for using the peep as a cocktail garnish for a round up? I’ll be sure to link back to here. Thank you!

Publication date: 6 February 2004.
About a month and a half ago, a friend dropped off an old-stock HP Pavilion 8380 with a hundred dollars US, asking me to install XP and upgrade the system as I saw fit. So I bought three sticks of this PC133 RAM.
HP's site says the 8380 will support three 128Mb sticks of PC100. The RAM I bought is PC133 (because it was cheaper than the PC100), since I have always read that PC133 will downclock to 100MHz when put in that type of slot.
Long story short, the PC is not happy when the new RAM is in. Initially, XP was crashing during startup (not finding ntkernel.sys, and one other error I can't remember right now). However, now it won't boot at all (or at least it doesn't give any video output when the new RAM is in) when I turn the system on. When I put the old RAM back in, the box boots into XP just fine; and I know the RAM is good, because I'm using it in another box to write to you. I also put in an old 64Mb PC100 stick that I pulled out of an old Presario, and got the same results.
So, I'm stuck. Any input you could offer would be most appreciated.
You're quite right that, generally, over-rated RAM is not a problem. Some laptops won't work if you give them RAM with a higher speed rating than they expect (the RAM would work if only they could figure out what it was, but they can't), but most desktop systems are fine with faster RAM.
Some, however, aren't, and I think the 8300-series Pavilions are in this category. They want PC100, not anything else. This is unusual for a system using the BX chipset, but it seems to be the case.
Then again, the crucial.com memory selector suggests two PC100 modules and one PC133 one for the 8380, so I don't know what the deal is. The selector also says this system needs special RAM, so either it means PC100 and the PC133 module is a mistake, or it's talking about a single/double banked memory issue.
Your dirt cheap PC133 RAM probably isn't very exciting stuff, and the three modules might have problems working together at the best of times - but one module would definitely work by itself, if the motherboard didn't have a problem with the RAM type. So I'm betting it is a mobo issue.
Buy more expensive memory from crucial.com, or anyone else that'll guarantee you the memory will work in this system, and you'll be fine. If you've got a competent local computer store, cart the 8380 up there and have them stick some RAM in it while you have lunch or something; that'll save you from mailing back dud memory.
Some time ago a friend of mine purchased a basic composite-output CCD (or quite possibly CMOS) board video camera. Brand unknown, his for not much from eBay. I've recently been looking into MP3 players and the one my fancy alighted upon, the iRiver iHP-120, has onboard analog inputs.
My bad idea lobe immediately suggested that a simple adapter ought, in theory, to allow me to connect the composite output from a cheap CMOS board camera to the line-in on said MP3 player. A mono sound channel could presumably be kludged into the second channel in the stereo line-in. It seems as though it's all just arbitrary analog waveforms, which should be captured and reproduced with something at least similar to adequacy by any decent audio hardware, right?
Here is where the question comes in: I've looked at various references on the subject; but have been unable to answer the question "will I do something unpleasantly expensive to one or more of the components by doing this?" I realize that this setup will have ghastly limitations even if it works, but I'm willing to take a risk on the concept as long as I'm not likely to actually break anything. Are there any especially nasty pitfalls that you can see in this scheme?
You could connect it and give it a try without hurting anything (there might be an impedance mismatch, but it wouldn't do any harm) - but it wouldn't work worth a damn.
Composite video has a bandwidth of about six megahertz; even CD quality audio only manages a bit more than 20 kilohertz.
It's possible to fit some kind of video onto formats that were meant for audio, as with the old Fisher-Price Pixelvision camera I mentioned in Letters #79 and the marvelously nutty VinylVideo. There's no way you can squish a whole real time composite signal onto a 20KHz-odd-bandwidth storage medium, though; you'd have to pre-process it down massively if you wanted to get anything vaguely recognisable out of the other end.
I'm getting a Radeon 9800 Pro, and it requires a 12V direct hookup to the PSU, and says the minimum requirement for the PSU is 300 watts. I only have a 250W PSU. Could this damage anything, would it just not run, or could it only maybe cause some problems?
If there's a problem (which there may well be - a decent 300W PSU is enough to run pretty much all PCs, as I've said before, but 250W is stretching it), it'll just be flakiness when you run 3D applications.
If you don't plug a high end Radeon's extra power lead in at all it'll give you an aggrieved text-mode message on system startup, and it'd probably do the same if its power supply was miserably far away from 12 volts, which it might be if the PSU was severely overworked. You'd be much more likely to just get crashes in games, though.
1.2 * 3 = 7.3?
I'm about to buy my first digital camera tomorrow, (Nikon Coolpix 2100), and was all set to go with NiMH AA cells and a Maha C401FS, but then I noticed that you can now buy rechargeable CR-V3 batteries. Info on them is scarce though. What do you think about them? Here is a review and a sales page.
I don't think the numbers in the Steve's Digicams review add up. The rechargeable CR-V3s have a capacity of only 1200 milliamp-hours (not mentioned in the review, but mentioned on the product page it links to). Taking their nominal 3V rating into account, that's 3.6 watt-hours.
1800mAh capacity NiMH AA cells are now commonly available, and 2000mAh and higher cells exist. A pair of 1800mAh, 1.2 volt AAs have 4.32 watt-hours of combined capacity.
And yet, according to the Steve's Digicams page, you can only expect 250 photos per charge for NiMH cells (of unspecified capacity...), but 420 from the (presumably lower capacity) CR-V3.
Your camera would have to work a lot worse from 2.4V instead of 3V nominal for this to be the case.
The Thomas Distributing page lists the RCR-V3 capacity as only 1160mAh, but says it'll outperform a 2300mAh NiMH (presumably a pair of them).
I don't see how that can be the case. OK, the lithium ion batteries will hold their charge over time much better than NiMH cells, which is a big plus for cameras that sit on the shelf unused for months. If that doesn't matter to you, though, then the more-than-$US30 price for one RCR-V3, along with the implausible claims, makes them very unappealing.
I refer you to the discussion here.
Creative's Nomad Jukebox Zen uses a 2.5 inch hard disk. Do you think this incident could possibly have been caused by magnetism? Seems most improbable to me since you mentioned that even NIB magnets sitting on top of an exposed HD will not harm the HD, but does this hold true for 2.5 and 1.8 inch drives and even Microdrives?
Nope. The coercivity of small hard drive platters is the same as that for larger platters - a few thousand Oersteds, so you need a field of at least a few thousand Gauss to demagnetise them. If you sat a big nasty rare earth magnet (like the giant cylinders or pyramid I checked out recently) on top of a laptop drive then you might be able to wreck it; there's not much space between the casing and the platter in a super-slim drive like that. The pyramid magnet, with its 7000 Gauss surface field strength at the pointier end, might even be able to damage data on a desktop drive. But field strength falls off approximately with the cube of the distance; no loudspeaker has an external field anywhere near strong enough to damage data on any hard drive.
Loudspeakers don't have large rare earth magnets in them, anyway. Rare earth magnets may be used for smaller drivers, but the big magnets on pretty much all big bass drivers are still cheap, lower strength ferrites.
Also, if the drive had been magnetically scrambled, I think the basic filesystem and probably also its servo tracks would have been scrambled too. The player would probably have been a paperweight, and certainly wouldn't have been recoverable by just deleting and replacing the contents.
I've heard it said, often, that white LEDs are really just blue ones with a phosphor layer on them. Considering CRT monitors also contain a phosphor layer, I've noticed that when you shine a white LED light at a CRT computer screen the reflection of the LED you see in the screen is in fact blue. Is there a scientific explanation as to why?
Yes, white LEDs are just Blue LEDs With More; this is why the light from white LEDs is often quite blue-white, and why it's often more blue in some part of the beam (the middle, the edge...) than in others.
The CRT-phosphor thing, though, isn't true. Well, it's sometimes true, but not because of the monitor phosphor.
The phosphor on computer and TV screens is mildly sensitive to external light; sit in front of a CRT in a darkened room, preferably when your eyes are adjusted to the darkness, then close your eyes, turn on a flashlight, and "doodle" on the screen with it. Turn the flashlight off and immediately open your eyes again and you'll clearly see the dying ghost of what you "drew".
That's where it stops, though. If things look blue reflected in your CRT, that's probably because of its anti-reflective coating, which is eating other wavelengths of incident light (and, cunningly, letting through all visible wavelengths from the other side of the glass).
Not all monitors have a coating that works like that. Some give reflections of other colours, or no particular colour tint to reflections at all.
I have purchased a nifty 15.6V cordless drill with a flashlight, 2 NiCd batteries, "dumb" charger, and a carrying case.
The manual warns me that I am not to store the batteries in the tools. But otherwise, the tools will not fit into the carrying case. What to do?
Ordinarily, I will use the drill at least once a week, since it is very useful. The flashlight, not as much. Why shouldn't I store the batteries in the tools, and for what period of time?
Ignore the warning*. Store the batteries in the tools.
* Dan's Data disclaims all responsibility in the event that any advice rendered should result in house fires, the eruption of boils or pursuit by slavering abominations from beyond time.
I'm not sure what the reasoning behind the warning is. The batteries for a lot of cheap cordless tools have pretty horrifyingly fast self-discharge (charge them, leave them a month, and you'll have close to no charge left) but it makes no difference whether you leave them in the tool or on the shelf - they may self-discharge a bit slower if you store them in the fridge, but the difference won't be amazing, and you'll need to warm them up again before they'll give you full capacity anyway.
I can think of no reason why leaving the batteries in the tools would present any particular hazard, assuming nobody drops a piano on the drill, or something. Leave the battery in there with confidence.
After reading your piece on digital photography I started hunting around for a decent digital camera. The Fuji FinePix S5000 interested me, but the maximum exposure time is 2 seconds. If I want to do some macro work, is this going to limit what the camera can do?
Not very much. Because this is a small-sensor camera with a maximum F-stop of f/9 (like most consumer and prosumer digicams, as I explain on the first page of my photo tutorial), it throws a much brighter image per unit area of sensor than a large-sensor camera like a DSLR will.
You still won't be able to do minimum-aperture macro work by ordinary indoor night-time light, but a couple of cheap hardware-store floodlights and gimcrack reflectors to match (if you don't have a low white ceiling) should be more than enough to bring exposure times down well below one second. Just one 500W flood might be adequate, but it's nice to have a couple so you can angle them differently to fill in shadows.
The exposure calculator here can be used to get a ballpark idea of the exposure times at a given aperture, for different lighting conditions. Hardware-store floods can easily get you up to overcast-daylight light levels.
My daughter has a vagus nerve stimulator implanted in her shoulder. It is activated by a magnet. The two magnets they gave us are too large for her to wear on her wrist. Do you know of any 50 - 70 Gauss magnets suitable for attaching to a bracelet?
There are lots of small-ish NIB magnets that might work, but it depends how deeply the reed switch (or whatever switch the stimulator uses) is embedded. Small magnets have rapid field strength fall-off over short distances; right next to the magnet surface the field strength may be close to 100 times what's needed to activate the switch, but a couple of centimetres away it won't cut it.
If you know how deep the switch is (presumably your daughter's doctor can tell you) then you could work out what kind of magnet you need, and ask a custom-magnets place like Engineered Concepts what they recommend. Engineered Concepts handle odd magnet enquiries all the time.
Alternatively, you could buy a grab-bag of cheap NIB magnets like the ones Forcefield sell and just see if one works.
If none do, you've still got a bunch of magnets to play with!
Have you put your name down for a NS-5 yet? or are you waiting for the female version?
I presume Fox (the "I, Robot" movie company) have reached an agreement with iRobot Corporation regarding branding issues.
The NS-5 is, of course, not an actual product - well, not for another 31 years, anyway!

Mathematical Sanity...We All Need It!
Twenty-five years ago, I did not hear discussions about the issue of mathematical sanity...but now, we even have a web site devoted to it. The reason....one perhaps would assume that evidence of mathematical insanity has surfaced! Unfortunately, it has....but things are not that clear-cut or logical.
Everyone knows (if someone doesn't, I doubt they are reading this web site) that mathematics education has become a battle ground of sorts...with people--teachers, administrators, parents, students, media, government leaders, textbooks, websites, YouTube videos, etc.--taking sides and drawing lines in the sand. And unfortunately, these lines often act like walls blocking communication, understanding, and compromise.
One web site that offers a significant amount of material...without getting vocal or issuing ultimatums is Mathematically Sane. The site's goal is to provide both current information and a forum about mathematics education reform...and thereby promote sanity as part of the decision process.
The site provides useful information in a sane way...it does not provoke confrontation, call others names, or promote discord. Rather, it promotes mathematical sanity....um...there should be a web site by that name.

Online flipbooks (Digital Edition) : The future of digital publishing?
Reading materials seem to be constantly evolving in the digital universe. Virtual magazines and e-books paved the way, and now online flipbooks have joined the digital media party. This revolutionary method for sharing content combines the traditions of printed materials with sophisticated virtual technologies. Interactive flipbooks are the perfect alternative to static, stale and visually boring PDF documents.
When digital publishing opened opportunities for a more meaningful relationship with consumers, the media stopped becoming the message. The message became its own media entity, talking directly to consumers across the globe. Brands and organizations began to act like publishing houses and marketers transformed to operate more like editors.

The Santa Clara Valley Medical Center's (SCVMC) Rehabilitation Research Center (RRC) is dedicated to improving patient care by investigating innovative treatments, identifying and promoting factors associated with prevention and resilience, and understanding the continuum of care from acute care through community reintegration. Recently published research led by the Chair of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department (Dr. Crew) and Chief of the Respiratory Rehabilitation Unit (Dr. McKenna) has provided evidence for the benefits of specialized respiratory management, which include the use of high-volume ventilation, mechanical insufflation-exsufflation, and consideration for the use of theophylline in individuals with high cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). Clinical trials conducted at SCVMC should further inform future clinical practice by investigating the efficacy of stem cell treatment through the Asterias SCI study, acute administration of Riluzole in individuals with SCI through the RISCIS study, and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in individuals with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Beyond investigating innovated treatments, research led by the Chief of Outpatient PM&R (Dr. Shem) illustrates the feasibility, quality of care, and consumer satisfaction of telemedicine treatment of individuals with SCI using Apple's FaceTime. This telemedicine program may reduce the barriers to specialized care by reaching individuals in the comfort of their own home; by doing so increasing patients' independence to reach treatment. Furthermore, research investigating preventative care, such as the use of Vitamin D treatment for individuals with SCI, has shown to the reduced odds of developing venous thromboembolism. Work led by both the Chair (Dr. Crew) and Vice Chair (Dr. Duong) of the PM&R Department are investigating the seasonal and demographic effects of Vitamin D deficiency, which could inform treatment strategies for under-represented groups in research.
The RRC at SCVMC has a unique ability to investigate outcomes from acute care through initial inpatient rehabilitation onto discharge back into community. Additionally, the RRC continues to be a part of a national database that includes 25 years of longitudinal data for patients with TBI and SCI. Research from these databases elucidates the importance of care, and subsequently may reduce secondary complications that are commonly experienced when individuals reintegrate into the community. This unique commitment from a public hospital allows SCVMC to be a leader in providing care for individuals with spinal cord and brain injury.

Hi we would like a sea view apartment but I have some minor mobility problems. Does the hotel have a lift?
Hi, Is the sofa bed big enough for two adults? It looks small in the few pictures we've seen.
Hi, I’ve been there last year - did not use the sofa bed but had a look for future reference. It is actually a single bed but has a bottom part which can be pulled out to create additional bed. Hope this helps.
Hi... whats the deal with sunbeds.... dont want an early race for a sunbed reservation like we had last year (different hotel). but would like to be able to get a sunbed near the pool every day.
Hi like previous answer there are sun beds but the beech is literally across the road and well worth going. The beech is very clean. The apartments are great and well worth staying.
Hi see rates below. you have to add Spanish VAT at 10% to these rates per day. Hotels/Tourist Apartments 1, 2 and 3 Star/Keys - 2 euros Hotels/Tourist Apartments, 3 Star/Keys Superior, 4 Star - 3 euros Hotels/Tourist Apartments, 4 Star/Keys Superior, 5 Star Luxury - 4 euros ie 3 star hotel is €3.30 per adult per day .. Under 16 free.
Hi yes there were towels but they ask you not to take them to the beach. There are lots of shops that sell towels which are not expensive.

The lip look everyone is trying to create is the Kylie Jenner look. There has been many rumours and speculations over what she uses to create it. The one everyone has been jumping on is two products by MAC; Mehr lipstick and Soar lip liner.
Mehr lipstick is a matte finish and RRP for £15.50. Soar lip liner RRP £12.50.
These products are both bestsellers for MAC, Kylie hinted that she uses soar lip liner, everyone went crazy for it and it instantly sold out internationally.
Mehr like stated above is a matte finish, it is a pink lipstick with brown undertones, it can be very drying on lips, so lip balm is needed before applying, it applies smoothly and stays on the lips for a very long time. This is the lipstick I reach for when i'm going on a night out and need something to stay on my lips. Soar is also a pink colour with brown undertones, this is the 'your lips but better colour' this pencil is very soft and easy to apply.
I would highly rate both of these products and to definitely add these products to your Mac wish list.

Kristine Hartkopf’s customer service career trajectory is inspirational. It’s a perfect example of the potential for professional development that the contact center environment can provide to those who are willing to take charge of their growth.
Hartkopf is the customer experience program manager at Freeman, which provides integrated services for face-to-face marketing and brand experiences, expositions, conventions, corporate events, meetings and exhibit programs. Her professional journey began just seven years ago when she came on board as a part-time customer support rep. Since that time, she has proven her dedication to ever-expanding roles, as well as to her customers, team and the business. In fact, in May, Hartkopf was recognized by the International Customer Management Institute (ICMI) with a 2017 Global Contact Center Award in the Best Contact Center Manager category.
While advancing from frontline rep to management seems like it may have been a carefully planned out career path, Hartkopf says that it all began quite unexpectedly. When she applied for a part-time data entry position at Freeman, Hartkopf had never worked in a contact center environment before. At the time, she was a full-time college student simply looking for a job with convenient hours that would fit around her class schedule. During the interview, though, the hiring director recognized in Hartkopf a skilled communicator who would add more value on the front lines interacting with customers. “She pushed me in that direction, and I’m very grateful that she did because it has been hugely impactful for my career, our customers and the team,” Hartkopf says.
During her first year with Freeman, Hartkopf became pregnant with her first child. To obtain her degree in social work, she still needed to complete an internship with the local police department that required her to work at night. “I realized that I wouldn’t be able to do that,” she says. “So I changed my major to a universal one with three concentrations—sociology, psychology and business writing—which ended up being a perfect fit for my role at Freeman.” This change in her educational career opened her mind to a long term professional career at Freeman, with the potential to build on the knowledge and skills she obtained throughout college.
In fact, Hartkopf soon progressed from part-time to full time and then moved into a contact center coordinator position. After less than a year, she was promoted to contact center manager, a role that she held for five years before moving to the customer experience team in July.
Most successful leaders can point to an incident, conversation or event that fueled their passion to succeed in their profession—a defining moment that changed everything for them. For Hartkopf, the first moment came early in her career at Freeman while working during a slow weekend shift. Reps were tasked with entering customer surveys into the system in between calls. At that time, Hartkopf admits that she viewed her position as simply a part-time job and wasn’t motivated to go beyond the average expectations of her position, especially when it came to entering surveys on the weekend.
While that moment gave Hartkopf insight into the type of leader she wanted to be, a relationship with another executive helped to shape her leadership style further. As part of the company’s mentoring program, she was assigned to an executive whose personality was vastly different from hers. While her new mentor was very candid and direct, Hartkopf was more reserved and lacked confidence in her communication skills. However, they soon found that they shared some important values.
The influence that Freeman’s leaders have had on Hartkopf’s career has been powerful. She, in turn, is a thoughtful leader who carefully considers the impact of her actions on her team. “If you want to build a team that will see your vision and join you in the direction that you set, it’s important to be a role model for them,” she says.
In addition to leading by example, Hartkopf understands that a manager’s primary role is to provide support for the team so they can reach their goals—both personal and business-related. She treats each team member as an individual and looks beyond the skills required for the job to what they need to be successful. She makes a point of learning about each person’s career ambitions and connects them with the appropriate resources to make it happen—whether that involves honing new business skills, networking with other functions or learning more about the organization. “I want to do what I can to help each person to be happy in their role here at Freeman,” she says.
During her years as contact center manager, Hartkopf led key initiatives that will have a lasting impact on the operation. A major technology project involved the transition from a highly manual process involving multiple systems to a multichannel cloud-based software platform. In addition to providing a 360-degree view of the customer’s experience, the automated system allowed Hartkopf and her team to spend their time identifying other opportunities to improve service delivery, such as omnichannel workforce management initiatives and increased quality assurance and training sessions.
Last year, Hartkopf also proposed a restructuring of the contact center’s leadership team. Previously, she was solely responsible for the training, interviews and quality assurance process. It was manageable while the team was small, but as the center’s headcount grew, Hartkopf realized that they needed additional leadership positions. She proposed to department leaders that the center add three supervisor positions to manage the day-to-day training, in addition to a separate workforce management coordinator to oversee staff scheduling. It was her first major business proposal to senior leaders, and it was a success.
Working at a company that values innovation means that there is plenty of room to grow and develop. The company’s design-thinking approach is currently being applied to improve billing processes and operational alignment between the contact center and other customer-facing business units.

The Veterans Caucus and the LGBT Caucus of the California Democratic Party oppose Trump’s tweets calling for a ban on transgender military members from serving our country and demand that Governor Brown and the Chancellors of all public post-secondary schools deny ROTC and military recruiters access to campuses if this ban goes into effect.
LGBT Caucus Co-Chair Evan Minton said: “Our campuses must remain places of equal opportunity. If the President’s tweets turn into policy, our state must take immediate steps to protect California’s bedrock values of fairness and inclusivity. This includes barring entities with such hateful, discriminatory policies to have free reign to our campuses and students."
The Veterans Caucus and LGBT Caucus stand with every transgender military member who currently serves and those who have served in the past. We believe that any American who meets the readiness standards of the military and has been trained to fight for our country, should be able to do so. Furthermore, we believe that firing transgender service members only weakens our military’s readiness. It does not strengthen it.
The excuses given for this ban are the same excuses used to get rid of and/or segregate women, pregnant women, African Americans, gays, and lesbians. The ban would affect the careers of approximately 15,000 service members (source: UCLA’s Williams Institute).
Furthermore, the claim that this is a medical cost cutting decision is bogus. For example, the military spends over $81 million every year on erectile dysfunction prescriptions and only $6 million on health care for transgender troops.

In December of 2017 we took our family on a western Caribbean cruise for Christmas week. My parents tagged along and we had an enjoyable week with stops in Grand Cayman , Cozumel & Belieze.
January & February were meant for rejuvenation and celebration. Pat & I took a fun weekend escape to beautiful Savannah, GA to celebrate his big 5-0. We enjoyed the southern charm, history, good food & craft beer of many local establishments.
I even talked him into attending a huge Made in the South Craft show. I had been curious to see if these were something I should keep on my radar for the future.
Also in February I did my local 'Art Fiesta'. It was a good show for me weather and profits were excellent.
March - I had several events this month. Lake Mary Heathrow [not good], Deland Indie Market [always fun] & the Old Town Art Show in Saint Augustine. Old Town is a very good event for me. We make a weekend out of it and stay at a nice B&B, eat out and since it always falls on Palm Sunday we get to attend mass in the beautiful Basilica there.
April- This month show things begin to wind down. As the weather heats up, the snow birds fly home and shows begin to taper off. I participated in the 'first annual' Viera Art Show. It was a Howard Allen event and I was happy to be accepted. It's about an hours drive so expenses are minimal as I can stay at home. Sadly the weather Sunday was pretty bad and they let us go early, so not super profitable.
May- My last big events of the spring were the Deland Indie Market, & the St Johns River Art Festival in Sanford, FL. My first time here and hopefully not my last. Well produced and profitable for me despite the rain on Sunday. I was tickled to have my first ever purchase with 'Patron Dollars' at a show. These people pay in advance with the promise that they will spend at the event. I had 3 patron purchases that weekend!
I also donated some work to support the MILSPO auction. This organization seeks to support military spouses across the USA.
June/July/August- Believe it or not, this is the quiet time in Florida. We went on a beach vacation in July to Orange Beach, Alabama with my parents which is always a nice time, but other than that I just tinkered in the studio and lounged by our pool. My wallet took a hit when I finally bit the bullet and bought all new PRO PANELS display pedestals. They really upgrade the look of my display. They were expensive, but I hope they help me get into nicer events in the future.
September- It's still pretty slow this time of the year as the temps are still in the 90's. I did do a couple of stints at a new 'farmers market' but it was poorly organized and sputtered out after just a few weeks. At the end of the month Pat and I took a lovely trip to Sandals La Toc in St. Lucia BWI to celebrate our 25th anniversary. It was a fantastic week and I thoroughly recommend this resort if you are thinking about an all inclusive vacation.
October- This is a busy month around here personally and professionally. Show season is back in full swing and we have our anniversary and my birthday too.
I did the Deland Indie Market [love those!], the Prince of Peace church craft show & The Beaches in Jacksonville, FL. The POP church is sort of my 'annual clearance sale' event. Since it is a traditional old school craft show, I take it as the opportunity to clear out old inventory at drastically reduced prices. Most art shows don't allow SALE merchandise to be offered so this is a good outlet for me to thin out. I also made a connection with a lady who loves my work and owns a local fiber shop. I now have a few pieces on consignment at her shop.
Lastly, The Beaches. This event is put on by the same organizer as Old Town and I really like her events.
Pat always comes with me here too and we enjoy the get away. He is so helpful with everything. This time around we were able to have dinner with my cousin and his wife who live in the Jacksonville area.
November- In the first week of the month I did another home town event, the Halifax Art Show in Daytona Beach. This was not my first time at this event but it was the first time in the FINE ART category and it was definitely my best showing there. Well worth the added cost in my opinion. Later in the month I had been accepted into the Deland Fall Festival of the Arts, but a close friend of ours passed away the night before and I decided to pass on participating. Hopefully I will be able to try again next year. My parents came down for a week at Thanksgiving and brought me a carload of over 25 tins. Here are a few of my favorites from that haul.
December- As the calendar year winds down I like to host my annual Holiday Home Trunk Show. This was my first such show in Florida since we moved almost 3 years ago. I didn't have the client base built that I had in Virginia until now. I like to host it right after Thanksgiving, early in the Christmas shopping season. In this event I basically turn my house into a shop and am able to finally put virtually every piece of my inventory on display. I am pleased to say it was very well attended. I also did the final market for Deland Indie and I was invited to participate in the Jingle & Mingle at the Daytona Museum of Arts and Sciences.
So here it is, December 29th, only a few days left in 2018. I am optimistic about the coming new year even though there are definitely some unknowns.
My husband will be retiring from the Navy in August after 29 years, so there may be a move in our future- who knows???
I am applying to some new events in 2019, always a nail biter as I wait to see if I'm accepted. I am also planning to focus on creating a line of high end work with advanced techniques and more elaborate materials.
I still plan to keep doing my beloved vintage tin, but I'm excited for the upgrades. I even splurged with some Christmas money and purchased a custom made shape cutter. I'll blog about that once it arrives.
So Thanks for reading all the way down to here >>> I appreciate it.
Cheers! & Here's to more regular blogging in the new year.
A few favs from 2018!
Added repurposed serving pieces to the mix.
Vitreous enamels continue to play a growing role in my work.

From overhead to under floor, there are a couple of different ways to conceal the cables in your data center. Here, we explore these options and the accessories that make life easier for data center managers.
Remember the plot twist to “The Usual Suspects?” OK, OK, we won’t spoil it for those who still haven’t gotten around to this 1995 film classic but suffice it to say sometimes the best place to hide something is in plain sight. This is especially true with the miles and miles of cables that run through your data center. You want easy access to them, but you also don’t want them in the way. You also don’t want them impacting your data center’s temperatures more than they have to.
With cable concealment, there are two main schools of thought: overhead and beneath the raised floor. It’s not uncommon to see data center managers eschew the raised floor option because they like to keep this area clear so that cool air can travel freely down below. Which brings us to overhead, the most popular option these days.
If you opt for overhead cabling, you’re going to need some accessories, plain and simple. Otherwise, you’ve got a tangled mess of ugly cables dangling from your ceiling and no one – the fire marshal in particular – wants that. Enter conveyance and pathway systems from our partners at Legrand, Chatsworth, Panduit, Cooper B-line and others.
Basket trays: Contemporary data centers tend toward vertical solutions like basket-style cable trays for their support and grounding capabilities. Wire mesh trays will protect your cables while keeping your downtime at a minimum.
Ladder racks: When you need network cable drops and turns at unusual angles, ladder racks are the answer. They also help you run bundles between closets, racks and cabinets as well as along walls.
Fiber troughs: Made from steel and PVC, fiber troughs can handle your heavy cables, making them the heavyweight champions of the cabling world.
At Instor, we not only design, but also install protection for your structured cabling with support from ladder racks, cable trays and fiber troughs. When you’re ready to explore our solutions, get in touch with us or learn more about conveyances and pathways here.

In June 2016, the United States Supreme Court issued Birchfield v. North Dakota, which held that a DUI suspect may not be informed they are subject to increased punishment in the event of refusing a blood test. A Pennsylvania DUI defendant who was arrested after Birchfield, but before the General Assembly’s July 2017 amendment of the Criminal Code, appealed her license suspension for refusing to submit to chemical testing pursuant to Pennsylvania’s Implied Consent Law.
In June 2016, PennDOT created an amended DL 26B form in response to Birchfield. On July 20, 2017, the Pennsylvania governor approved 2017 Act 30, which amended Section 1547(b)(2) to remove language that requires an officer to give admonitions relating to enhanced criminal penalties for refusing a blood test.
Upon the defendant’s arrival at the central booking center, the officer requested that she submit to a chemical test of her blood and read her the new DL-26B form, thereby warning her that the Department would administratively suspend her driver’s license for at least 12 months for refusing to submit to a blood test. He did not advise her, however, that she would be subject to enhanced criminal penalties upon refusal. The defendant refused, and the Department issued the notice of suspension at issue. The defendant appealed to the trial court, which held a hearing, rejected the defendant’s argument, and upheld the suspension. Her timely appeal followed.
On appeal, the defendant argued her suspension should be reversed because the arresting trooper did not warn her in accordance with relevant law that her refusal to submit to a blood test would subject her to enhanced criminal penalties. In addition, she maintained that by using the new DL-26B form before the General Assembly amended the Code regarding enhanced criminal penalties in accordance with Birchfield, the Department usurped the role of the legislature, such that her suspension should not stand. The Pennsylvania Superior Court, however, had already rejected arguments that the Department and the police had to continue to apply Section 1547(b)(2)(ii) until the General Assembly amended it.
The Pennsylvania Superior Court affirmed, explaining that it had already rejected the defendant’s position in another case. Specifically, it stated that the defendant’s argument that her license must be reinstated because she was not warned that she would be subject to enhanced criminal penalties that were no longer constitutionally permissible for refusing blood testing was unpersuasive. Accordingly, the appeals court affirmed.
If you’re a Pennsylvania resident and have been arrested for a DUI, you should hire a competent attorney at your earliest convenience. Criminal defense attorney Zachary B. Cooper is skilled at defending DUIs and can zealously argue on your behalf. Call (215) 542-0800 for a consultation. Zachary B. Cooper can investigate all of the facts of your case and determine the legal arguments that you may be able to make to prevent a conviction or minimize the consequences.

I SAY then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the Law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
IF we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain-glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou be also tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another; for every man shall bear his own burden.
AND it came to pass, as Jesus went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.
O HOW lovely are thy dwellings, / thou Lord of hosts!
2 My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the Lord: / my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.
3 Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young: / even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house; / they will be alway praising thee.
6 Who going through the vale of misery use it for a well; / yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.
7 They will go from strength to strength, / and unto the God of gods appeareth every one of them in Sion.
Ant. Behold, O God, our shield, / and look upon the face of thine Anointed.
12 For the Lord God is a light and defence; the Lord will give grace and glory, / and no good thing shall he withhold from them that lead a godly life.
13 O Lord God of hosts, / blessed is the man that putteth his trust in thee.
O COME, let us sing unto the Lord: / let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation.
2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, / and show ourselves glad in him with psalms.
Alleluia, All. For the Lord is a great God, / and a great King above all gods. All.

What In The Word Do Southern Words Mean? Crazy Southern Words!
Southern Words Mean? Crazy Southern Words!
My family and I had so much fun putting together this list of southern “slang” words that we have heard or even used over the years.
We have been laughing at how ridiculous we Southerners must sound to non-Southerners. We are not all ignorant and uneducated. Why Southern Words and what do they mean? Most of us know the difference, but we have always spoke in slang or at least used a few slang words. We just have a lazy way of speaking sometimes. I’m not sure why, but it can be hilarious. My family and I have a good laugh most of the time when we hear these things. I not only laugh at other family members but myself too. Laughter warms the heart.
This is just a short list that our family came up with. Please leave me a comment and add to it. I know you have some favorite Southern Words. You maybe even guilty of saying a few of these words. If you enjoy reading this post, please click on this link to read These are a Few of my Favorite Southern Things!” The post is about my favorite places all around the south.
“Making Groceries” – This means going to the grocery store. You hear this word, especially in South Louisiana. Everyone MAKES GROCERIES in Louisiana.
“fixin’” – Means fixing. I am guilty of this word. Everything I am fixing to do, I have always said I am “fixin'” to do it. This means it is next on my list to do.
“sammich” which means sandwich. We laughed and laughed while watching Duck Dynasty when Godwin wanted his “sammich“.
“bowl” which means boil, like bring the water to a boil. You will even hear Paula Deen pronounce it this way.
“fol” which means aluminum foil. I am guilty of both saying “fol” and “bowl”. This is another word you will hear Paula Deen often say on her cooking show.
“Powders” or “Washing Powders” – Means Washing Detergent.
A “buggy” – A shopping cart.
I “reckon” – I think.
That does not mean “doodley-squat” – nothing to me.
“Pecahns” – not pecans (peecans)- this is something totally different.
Southern Foods – boiled peanuts, collards, ice tea, pe-cahns, butter beans, gator, catfish, hushpuppies, crawfish (cralfish), grits, and more.
I was born and raised in South Alabama. Carly, my oldest daughter was born in Alabama.
Jerry, my husband was born in Tennessee.
My 16-year-old boys were born in Georgia.
We lived 6 years in the New Orleans area.
My mother was from Alabama, and my father was from Florida.
One set of my grandparents were from Alabama and the other set from Florida.
My husband’s grandparents were from Tennessee and Kentucky.
We currently live in Arkansas.
Funny reading through those, we say a lot of those here in Australia, though we call a sandwich a sanga. Many of the other things are things we hear on American telly all the time, I can see hear Doris Day saying she has to go to the crik for water in Calamity Jane.
Do you mean you want to hear some of our sayings?
With all due respect, could THAT?? explain your pronunciation of “pecan.” Because unless my ears and/or my mind played tricks on me, I’ve noticed that that word is pronounced “pe-CAHN (read: puh-CAHN)” in some parts of the South and pronounced “PEE-can” in others.

The first animal life may have emerged from a planetary deep-freeze 635 million years ago to eventually become a small part of those gallons of regular or high test that we pump into our gas tanks each week.
A team of scientists financed by Petroleum Development Oman, NASA’s Exobiology Program and its Astrobiology Institute, the National Science Foundation and the Agouron Institute and led by UCR scientist Gordon Love discovered the oldest evidence of animals in the fossil record in sedimentary rocks of south Oman.
Love’s team discovered “an anomalously high amount of distinctive steroids” dating from 635 million years ago to the end of the last immense ice age. The steroids are products of sponges, one of the simplest forms of multicellular animals, Love said, and have the potential for development into such valuable substances as antiviral and anticancer medicines.
About all that oil in the Middle East, Love said most of it developed from “plankton (plants) which developed significantly earlier than animals.” Profusions of plankton covered the surface waters of shallow tropical seas in the area and as it died and was covered by sediment it was the genesis of petroleum. When the sponges came along, they grew on the bottom of the same shallow seas and contributed a small amount to all that Arab oil.
As oil companies drilled for the black gold in Oman, Love and his team took custody of the rocky core the drill brought to the surface. It gave them a vertical time window as much as 4½ kilometers deep, which they could date using radioisotopes.
The core was a “large cylinder of compacted rock. The stuff on top is younger,” Love said.
“We had an unusually complete rock record,” he said, “We found them (the sponges) in all strata.
“Oman rocks are pretty well preserved,” the scientist added.
The search is continuing for other strains of the sponges. “I’m pretty sure there will be more than one,” Love said.
An assistant professor of biogeochemistry in the Department of Earth Sciences at UCR for two years, his team made its discovery while he was a postdoctoral researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He wrote his paper, which was published Friday in the journal Nature, after moving to UCR.
