You're assuming the sprite region gets its own dedicated memory
allocation separate from the combined image.  That's certainly not the
case in Gecko right now; sprites are just painted directly out of the
big image.  I'm not an expert on whether there are good reasons for this.

One can stick the zip on disk and decode into memory one at a time as
needed.  There's no memory cost at all for the small images you happen
not to be using on the current page.

Not quite.  A lot of the memory usage is caused by the need to have
blank pixels around the sprites in the image, for example.  It's not
clear to me that this would go away in a different setup.  Maybe it would.

Well.  Nothing wrong with pushing things for one's own benefit.  Those
are called use cases.  ;)  And the question is whether there are enough
use cases here.  I don't have an answer to that question...  I
understand that you feel there are.

Certified Literate Community Program
The Georgia solution for reaching low-literate adults effectively is the Certified Literate Community Program (CLCP).  Created in 1990 by the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) and the Georgia Council on Adult Literacy (GCAL), CLCP asks a community to establish a non-profit collaborative to promote, support and enhance community literacy efforts locally.  Communities participating in the program analyze community needs, create awareness of the needs, ensure that learning opportunities are offered and evaluate progress so that the majority of citizens needing to improve their skills do so within 10 years.  A network is formed to coordinate business, church, volunteer, social service, local government and schools, media and other efforts in the community to reach, influence and support those who want to improve their education.

Get Georgia Reading: Campaign for Grade Level Reading
The Campaign is a collaborative effort by foundations, nonprofit partners, states and communities across the nation to ensure that more children in low-income families succeed in school and graduate prepared for college, a career, and active citizenship. The Campaign focuses on an important predictor of school success and high school graduation—grade-level reading by the end of third grade.

Georgia Adult Literacy Advocates
The mission of GALA is to increase awareness, support, and funding for adult literacy needs and efforts in Georgia. GALA is a statewide coalition of literacy advocates.

Literacy For All
Literacy For All is a donor-advised fund of the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta. Our role is to fund and strengthen support structures that provide families with the tools they need for success– ensuring that adults can read to their children.

National Coalition for Literacy
The mission of NCL is to advance adult education, family literacy, and English language acquisition in the U.S. by increasing public awareness for the need to increase funding and programs; promoting effective public policy; and serving as an authoritative resource on national adult education issues.

National Center for Families Learning
NCFL provides support and strategies to a network of entities involved in advancing education and families learning together, including educators, schools, community-based organizations, and libraries. Its efforts support learners of all ages in these environments in concert with advocates and partners. The heart of NCFL’s work lies in its dedication to working with community partners to develop model programs and innovative laboratories that advance family literacy.

The mission of Proliteracy is to promote adult literacy through content development, programs, and advocacy. Their goal is to help literacy programs increase the quantity and quality of services provided.

Reach Out and Read
Doctors, nurse practitioners, and other medical professionals incorporate Reach Out and Read’s evidence-based, three-part model into regular pediatric checkups: (1) in pediatric exam rooms, trained doctors and nurses speak with parents about the importance of reading aloud; (2) at each regular checkup from six months through five years of age, the child receives a new book to take home; (3) parents become more engaged and read to their children more often. The program serves more than four million children and their families across the nation, with a special emphasis on serving those in low-income communities. Families served by Reach Out and Read read together more often, and their children enter kindergarten with larger vocabularies and stronger language skills, better prepared to achieve their potential in school and beyond. Reach Out and Read provides books for children in more than 14 languages, including Arabic, Chinese, Russian, and Spanish.

Gone With the Wind Read-Along: Chapters 19-27

This book just keeps on rolling! I thought last week's section was eventful, but this week's was so much more so.

I really grew to like Scarlett during this portion of the book. For the first five or six chapters, she was still pretty selfish, but she came into her own later on. She has to take charge and lead everyone out of Atlanta as the Union soldiers come into town, she has to get them to Tara and she has to take charge and run Tara because no one else can. She actually stops being petrified of hard work (Even though she resists it for as long as she can manage) and she stops whining about the little inconveniences.

Mitchell says that Scarlett reaches a point of no return; from this moment on she will never be the same. I hope that's true, because I enjoyed seeing Scarlett as a strong, not just a smart-mouthed, woman able to take care of things on her own.

There was a lot more tension and drama in this portion of the book, also. Melanie goes through a hard labor, there's a lot of fighting around Atlanta, the city begins to burn, Scarlett and the others refugee toward Tara, there's very little food left to feed nine people, the Union comes through Tara, etc., etc. Mitchell does a great job of rendering a sense of urgency in the scenes.

My favorite scene in this section of the book was when the Union soldiers ransack Tara as Scarlett stands and watches. She is tired of the Union taking things that belong to her family and those she cares about, and she decides to make a stand. I laughed out loud when she shoved the Union soldier's wallet down the baby's diaper. I never would have thought of that! And, I was so glad she finally began to show a little bit of love toward Wade by rescuing Charles' sword from the soldiers.

So much has happened in this novel already, and I'm not nearly halfway through. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Whitney said...

This book is amazing! I love the scene in which she stands up to the Yankees as well. I forget about that part every time I read Gone with the Wind but always makes me admire Scarlett and her gumption.

Mole Patrol!!!

Hubby and I are new to the area and are becoming quite familiar with the local critters.  We had one move into our yard and decide to make a mess of it.
We didn't know what was doing it for so long.  It all started with one little mound in the back yard and then it moved to the front yard and then all heck broke loose.  We eventually realized it was a mole and decided we needed to do something.  We put down some grub stuff  last week in an effort to stop it from doing more damage, but then decided to take matters into our own hands.

See that hose in the picture above?  Yeah....we found the tunnels it was making and, well, you can imagine what happened.  Most of the holes were just filling and filling with water, this one just kept going....and then the dirt moved...
Its almost cute...and I feel kinda bad for it...but...You don't mess with my yard.  Look at how big the claws/shovel hands are!  Crazy!!  But I think we got it taken care of, but we don't know for sure that there was only one.  Looks like they live by themselves most of the time, so there could .. not be any more, but we're not sure.  Crazy little critters!  You don't mess with an E(last name)'s yard!!  :)

  1. Awwwwwww....that almost makes me kind of sad. Back in Virginia, our cat would leave little mole pieces for us on our steps...that was almost sad, too.

    1. I agree, it is kind of pretty sad...but there's that little part of me that isn't very sad about it. :) That's a good cat that you had there...

Adventure on the Trapline.

Some of you may recall that we own property in northern BC.  It is part of a huge trapline that my husband manages.  Most falls find us packing up the truck and heading north for a couple of months to live in our little log cabin up there. It  has become a springtime trip as well now as my husband, Trev, is retired and we can come and go as we please.
It is a beautiful place. Our main cabin is located beside a lovely lake and I enjoy looking out the window at the scenery while I crochet and knit to my heart's content. As the cabin is quite remote, we have no electricity, no running water, no access other than by rough trail. It isn't everyone's 'cup of tea', but we love it. You can't get much more 'back to basics' than this. I wanted to share one of our adventures with you. This took place 2 years ago after we had been at the cabin for 2 months and were heading home. I shared this with our Facebook friends in bits and pieces, and my father in law was kind enough to save it all and make it into a single document. (Thanks, Ken!)

Our last full day here. Looking forward to home, showers, flush toilets, and mostly seeing family! But...we will miss our wilderness home too. The peace, quiet and simplicity of life here is something hard to find these days. As I type this, we are in the midst of a 'snowfall warning'. We've gotten a fresh couple inches so far, with more coming down. Hoping it doesn't add any problems to our trip out tomorrow. Off to pack things away out of mice-harm, give the chickadees and whiskey jacks all the leftover perishables, and then clean. Love to all!

Whew!!! We made it!! It was nip and tuck for awhile there, though. We closed up the cabin yesterday morning and headed onto the lake on the sleds. That's as far as one sled got. Just before our exit from the lake onto the trail, we hit the worst overflow EVER!!! Both sleds and the skimmer loaded with our gear sunk in almost a foot of slushy muck. After a lot of work, and with the help of a chainsaw winch we got Trev’s Tundra and the skimmer to solid snow. The old Yamaha is sittin' up to the seat in slush (now probably frozen), waiting to sink into the lake come spring. Rest of the story to follow.

So, the rest of the story....after we got the Tundra and skimmer of stuff out, and decided to abandon the Yamaha, we had to decide whether to go back to the cabin, which was just on the other side of the lake, and head out the next day, or have Trev go ahead with the sled, skimmer and Angel, the cat,  to the truck, unload the skimmer and cat and then come back and get Zac and I. Up until this year, we have only had the one sled, which, on our trip out, we use to pull the skimmer loaded with Sue and kids or kid. This year we were gifted the old Yamaha, and hadn't needed Trev to take the extra trip to the truck with our 'stuff' because I would be able to drive with Zac on the 2nd sled. Now we were back to our old mode of getting out, but the skimmer was already loaded! We decided that instead of having to unpack everything at the cabin and repack it again....Zac and I would start to walk out, which would keep us warm, and save a bit of time. So we set out feeling fairly up, because we had been able to get the one sled and skimmer out of what had seemed an impossible situation, and we were heading home! We walked along the skidoo trail, which is cleared of the deep snow, but is still soft...like walking on dry sand. After all the exertion of getting things unstuck, slogging around in the overflow, having walked back to the cabin for tools, and the worry of what to do, we were already pretty pooped. We were hungry and tired, but kept our spirits up as we walked, deciding what we would order from our favorite little cafe in Watson Lake. We talked about Christmas, family, the future...and kept on walking. It got to the point of tears, but we kept on walking, taking short breaks when we didn't feel we could take another step. Where was Trev? We kept listening for the skidoo...it got dark. We were way past where he should have been back for us. Saying we were exhausted would be an understatement. Something must have happened to keep Trev from coming back for us. I knew we had to keep moving or we would get cold, and if we waited and he wasn't able to come back for us, we'd be hooped. So, on we went, short break, walk some more...We passed landmarks, using them to gauge how far along we were. Eventually we came upon the skimmer sitting alone on the trail. Why would Trev leave it? He needed to unload it so he could come back for Zac and I. But, there it was sitting in the snow. More of the story later...

So, I left off with Zac and I finding the loaded skimmer sitting on the trail, abandoned.....we had a rest there, trying to figure out why it was there...could Trev have gone on without it because the trail was too soft and he was running over it to pack it more? Was it too hard to pull now? Was there a problem with the skidoo? A problem with Trev????? We were baffled! But there was no point waiting with it, because it needed to be empty for us to be able to ride in it. So, on we went. Next, we came to an old shed Trev had built years ago that had collapsed, so we knew we were getting close to the next lake which is where our little cabin is located. It was a matter of keeping on..one foot in front of the other...just keep walking...We were sore, weary and hungry. Zac was amazing! He was soooo tired, but went on without complaining. We were having to stop to rest more often now. Sitting on the trail or a log by the trail, and just zoning out. The dogs were also exhausted by this time. They had started out running ahead, running back to us...now they walked single file behind Zac or I, and when we rested, they chewed ice from their frozen paws. One or the other of us would snap out of our stupor and get us moving again. Then, we came to the trail that cuts off the main trail and heads out onto the lake that the little cabin is on and which we travel on with the skidoo in winter and canoe stuff from the little cabin and truck on in the fall. It is much easier taking the lake than the trail, but with the overflow on the other lake, we weren't prepared to risk using it now. I hoped Trev had stuck with that plan and hadn't decided to try it and was stuck out there. But, we could see that he had taken the trail, although by this point, his trail was covered by about 2 inches of fresh powder. Now, I need to finish my breakfast and go pack our hotel room stuff, as our truck has been jump started (another story), and we are headed south. I'll finish up tonight.

Ok, so now we are at the trail intersection that goes to the lake ....we continued on our journey taking the land trail that runs in the woods just off the lake. If for some reason Trev came back for the skimmer over the lake, we would at least see him pass and hoped he would see that we had taken the overland route. This part of the trail hadn't been packed by the skidoo going over it....Trev had only made one trip over it bringing the now sinking Yamaha sled in, which is much lighter than the Tundra, and had now passed over it again that day. It was much softer, making it harder going than the rest of the trail and at some places it was hard to tell he'd been through at all. We knew we were almost at the end of our trek which is probably the thing that kept us going. The last part of the trail winds away from the lake and onto an old cut line which is all grown up with small pines and willows. It seemed to take forever to get through this part. Our legs just didn't want to work anymore. When we finally came out into the clearing where we park our truck away from the road (until the snow depth makes it necessary to park it by the road, which was where the truck was now), there sat the skidoo. And there was poor Angel, our long suffering cat, still strapped to the back of it. (She was in a kennel that we wrapped in a blanket and then put inside a garbage bag, NOT sealed!). Now we were really worried. Why would it be here, still a ways from the truck? We decided we'd get Angel off the back and get down to the little cabin where we hoped Trev was. The question was why..... As we left the skidoo, me trying to carry Angel in her kennel, Zac breaking trail, as we now had no skidoo track at all to walk in, we noticed that Trev had indeed gone that way, but his tracks were fairly covered over by fresh snow. I was having difficulty carrying the kennel, so ended up dragging it by the end of the garbage bag. Can't imagine what Angel thought about that, but at least she would be with us in the little cabin. About 1/2 way down the trail that goes from the clearing to the lake and cabin, Zac heard Trev yell and yelled back. Trev met us all ready to hike back along the trail to meet us. He had a pack full of stuff he thought he would need to get us warm, fed and hydrated. But, instead we all headed back to the little cabin, very happy to be together. Once we had gotten inside, that's when I had a short breakdown...a few tears of relief, followed by much hugging and thanking God for safe keeping. It turned out that Trev had started out doing fine pulling the skimmer, but slowly it became more difficult. He was having to stop along the way to set off traps, and was trying to do it quickly so he could get back for Zac and I. The skidoo just didn't seem to have the power it should have and then started dying. Trev would have to keep restarting it. Eventually, he had to leave the skimmer. He was able to get it (the skidoo) to the clearing where it died again, and would not start. Now, remembering that earlier, we had all been slogging around in the icey overflow on the lake..., Zac and I had on snow suits made with water repellent fabric while Trev had on insulated coveralls. Trev had been wet through. By the time he got to the clearing, after all the dealings with the failing skidoo and him now being pretty chilled, he hadn't the energy to carry Angel to the cabin and needed to get warm and dry quickly. He was worried sick (literally) about Zac and I, thinking that we were also wet and would be freezing. Luckily, we were both dry apart from the bottoms of our snow pants which had gotten pretty wet. But our insulated rubber boots kept the wet away, and the temperature quickly froze our pants bottoms solid. Trev was imagining us wet like him, as well as tired, but we were just tired.

In the end we were all safe and sound. The next morning, Trev went to see what could be done with the he skidoo. We figured it had probably overheated due to ice building up in the track after being in the overflow. Using our tiger torch, he was able to melt the ice and it started up just fine. He then retrieved the abandoned skimmer, took the stuff to the truck, then came for us at the cabin. Thanks to the highways maintenance guys out of Dease Lake, our truck got plowed out, jump started and we were in Watson Lake in time for dinner! It was nice to have a good meal and soft beds, but I think we appreciated the beds and cuppa noodles at the little cabin the night before more! So ends that adventure. And we thought last years trip out in -43C was hard! Lol!

And so ended our time that fall on the trapline. We have had other adventures on the trapline that have challenged our abilities, tested our strengths and pushed our endurance. Each time we come out of them on top, having learned more about ourselves, our abilities and what we can accomplish.

  1. Thanks for the credit Sue. It seemed like a "no brained" to save such a great story.
    Having been there to accompany Trev in the early days of your trapping adventures, it is one of my favorite memories.
    Good luck next season!

Your comments make my day. I love getting feedback from you. Please take the time to let me know what you think of this post, and also, if you are a blogger in need of some blog-love, leave your site address so I can go visit you too!

Green Cabinets

Green Cabinets Guide

As a rule, it's best to select the least toxic materials, which is not always as simple as it appears. In attempting to build in a truly green fashion, there will be trade-offs. At times, a more toxic material may be a better performer and less expensive. In general, the risk to occupants from a toxic building product or building assembly - whether synthetic or natural - is lower if the agent is not inhaled or touched.

Much of the standard cabinetry on the market today contains particleboard made with urea formaldehyde binder that emits formaldehyde and other harmful chemicals. Worse than new carpeting. most adhesives and binders for wood products contain high levels of formaldehyde than can off-gas for years.

To make the most of alternative materials and understanding the trade-offs of your decisions, we recommend following these steps:

Ask the Right Questions Formulate a Design Plan Understand Indoor Air Quality & Resource Conservation Review our Green Cabinet Materials and Checklist Step 1: Ask the Right Questions

Before making any decisions, we recommend you ask yourself the following questions:

Cabinet Uses

What will be stored in these cabinets? Are there oversized items that need to be accommodated? How deep, wide and tall should the cabinets be? Do you want to store any items on open shelving? Do any of the cabinets require special lighting?

Which cabinets should be accessible to children? Which cabinets should be child-proof? Should cabinets accommodate shorter people? Are there people with disabilities?

Layout of Existing Cabinetry

Are cabinets conveniently located to important activities (dishwashing, cooking etc.)? Do cabinets open awkwardly into walkways? Is there enough storage where it’s needed? Is there enough counter space where it’s needed?

Aesthetics of Existing Cabinetry

If existing cabinets are not aesthetically appealing to you, why not? Could you change the cabinet hardware or refinish the surface to achieve your desired aesthetic? Could the existing cabinets be useful in a different room?

Look and Feel of New Cabinets

Do the cabinets need to match a particular aesthetic? What “feel” do you want in the room? How can cabinets add to that “feel?”

Planning for the Future

What changes in family structure/occupancy do you anticipate? Does your cabinet design accommodate different users? Step 2: Formulate a Design Plan

Using your answers to the questions above, you should draft a few informal paragraphs to sum up what you want from your new cabinets. It may seem silly, but the act of writing down what you want can make all the difference in the world.

Your short write-up also makes a great gift for your designer, contractor, cabinet-maker or other professional. S/he will appreciate you being clear about what you want.

Green Addition Remodel - Plumbing

Green Plumbing for Additions

Water is a very precious commodity. If your project involves plumbing, installing new water-saving faucets and showerheads can greatly reduce your water usage. There are many inventive methods to do this without compromising on comfort. Talk to your plumber about green practices. Make sure your plumber has experience in new plumbing practices and understands your commitment to water conservation.

Here are some tips to reduce your water use:

Insulate Your Pipes

Insulating your hot water pipes will reduce the heat losses as the hot water flows to your faucet. It will also reduce standby losses, or energy lost through walls and up the flue of the hot water tank. Insulate hot water pipes in all runs through unconditioned spaces, including basements, crawlspaces, and attics.

Remove Plumbing from Outside Walls

Pipes in exterior walls will cool more quickly than pipes in the interior walls, which tend to be significantly warmer. Remove pipes from outer walls and install the in interior walls. This can be costly, but makes sense if you are in the process of tearing down walls anyway.

Install On-demand Hot Water Circulation Pump

An "on-demand" hot water circulation pump can send hot water to fixtures in seconds without wasting water while waiting for it to get hot. Install the pump at the furthest faucet from the water heater.

Brooks Green Silence $100

Brooks Green Silence $100
The Green Silence is Brooks’ first new racing shoe in a decade.

The shoe demonstrates that performance and sustainability are compatible; many of the components are made from recycled plastics and the shoe is built with water-based adhesives and uses soy-based inks. The new midsole geometry provides flexibility and cushioning, with just enough outersole for traction and durability. The upper is open mesh with a nicely cushioned tongue that opens only on the lateral side in order to provide extra medial support. The shoes have a unique appearance, as the contrasting red and yellow colors are transposed, so the shoes aren’t identical, and the midsole of the right is red, while the left is yellow. The curved shape favors the higher-arched feet, however the roomy forefoot may allow enough wiggle room for lowerarched feet to find an acceptable fit.

  • Sizes: men 4–12,13,14 (unisex)
  • Weight: 8.0 oz. (men’s 11)
  • Shape: semi-curved to curved
  • Fit: snug heel, wide forefoot For: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics
  • Range: efficient runners - up to a marathon; heavy strikers - up to 20K or just beyond

Newton Gravitas=Gravity $175

Newton Gravitas=Gravity $175
Newton’s neutral trainer Gravitas=Gravity (Gravitas is Latin for gravity) has reached the second round, with some improvements. The upper continues with the same stretchy airmesh as before, but has altered the overlays to provide the saddle-like support with a bit more open forefoot.

The midsole features a denser foam throughout, both for durability and improved responsiveness. The heel has been slightly reshaped to aid in transition—yes, you’re expected to land on your midfoot or forefoot, but it takes some getting used to—as does the aforementioned reshaped heel. The outersole has a tougher rubber compound on the actuator lugs, blown rubber beneath the toes, and carbon rubber in the heel. Bottom line? The shoe has been upgraded, adding value to a well-designed, high-end shoe.

Sizes: Men 6.5–13,14; Women 5–12

Weight: 11.2 oz. (men’s 11); 8.9 oz. (women’s 8)

Shape: semi-curved

Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel board

For: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics

Vasque Transistor FS $100

Vasque Transistor FS $100
Here Vasque takes a different approach to construction and improves performance in the process. Using a new, better-fitting last that’s contoured to represent the bottom of your feet (most other lasts are fairly flat-bottomed), the construction merges the Strobel board and innersole for the first time in a trail shoe.

Vasque’s Foot Sync uses its Integrated Custom Footbed over a Flux Foam Strobel board (similar to other EVA boards) to allow the midsole and upper to fit together a bit better. Since the fit elements are distributed between both the upper and the midsole, rather than all in the upper as in most shoes, the shoes fit a bit differently. Generally, medium- to high-arched feet will be best served here, but since it has good volume, it can accommodate a foot that’s bit on the fuller side, as well. A hollow space under heel gives the ride both a more responsive and stable feel. The tread has a grippy traction, the large zigzag lugs flexing well with the sole. For its performance, fit, and innovation, the Transistor FS earned our Best Trail Shoe award.

  • Sizes: men 8–12,13,14; women 5–11
  • Weight: 11.8 oz. (men’s 11); 9.9 oz. (women’s 8)
  • Shape: semi-curved
  • Construction: Strobel slip-lasted, Flux Foam Strobel board
  • For: medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics

NAIA Marathon Championships - Men
Marion, IN
In searching for the NAIA's place in the history of sports and higher education, several consistencies are revealed. Among them is the dedication to academic achievement above athletic excellence. Also apparent is the organization's role as a trailblazer in providing equal opportunities for all student-athletes. Above all, there is an expectation of ethical behavior and a commitment to scholarship, sportsmanship and leadership.It is paradoxical that such a lasting, dynamic contribution to collegiate sports began with a mundane note in the first recorded history of the Association:"The first general session of the `Organizing Convention' of the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball (NAIB) was held in the Phillips Hotel, Kansas City, Missouri, at 10 a.m., Sunday, March 10, 1940."But the seed from which the NAIB sprouted was planted two blocks away at Municipal Auditorium. It was there in 1937 that a men's basketball tournament tipped off which has become the longest continuous national collegiate tournament in any sport. Further, out of that small-college basketball tournament, and the NAIB, grew an Association that now includes more than 360 colleges and universities and conducts two dozen national championship events.The tournament was the brainchild of Emil S. Liston, Dr. James Naismith, Frank Cramer, and a group of Kansas City business leaders who wanted to provide Kansas City-area fans with exciting amateur competition and to provide a framework for small colleges and universities to determine a national basketball champion.

UNCW’s Mike Adams discusses his First Amendment case with the Daily Caller

Julia Dent of The Daily Caller interviews UNC-Wilmington professor Mike Adams about the latest developments in his long-running legal dispute with the university.

The University of North Carolina at Wilmington said it will appeal the ruling in favor of a lawsuit that alleged that the university denied a professor a promotion for his conservative views and tried to violate his freedom of speech.

The courts ordered UNCW to pay Mike Adams $50,000 in back pay, as well as his legal fees, which have added up to over $1 million over the seven-year lawsuit, according to WECT.

“It was expected that they were at least preparing for [an appeal],” Adams told The Daily Caller. “Star News said don’t appeal. Even the newspapers said this is enough. Even I was still a little bit surprised when they appealed, but this still could be a bluff. It would give the parties more time to reach an agreement or settle. This is just the way it works.”

State Sen. Thom Goolsby was disappointed in the decision to appeal and said, “Substantial taxpayer resources were already expended in this litigation, and an appeal would require substantially more.”

If they lose the appeal, they could take it to the Supreme Court. “What they’re setting up is if they fail to get another trial to prove that they didn’t violate my First Amendment right, they’ll take it to Supreme Court to prove that they didn’t violate my First Amendment right,” Adams said.

By taking it to the Supreme Court, they would also be challenging the Garcetti vs. Ceballos case in 2006 that ruled that government employees’ First Amendment rights are protected, Adams said. “[This appeal] shows that they haven’t learned anything from this experience. The longer this drags it plays to my advantage.”

“I don’t think this is about stupidity; it’s about malice. That’s the game.”

MacHeist Nanobundle 2

Well, Macheist has come and gone again, and now I have a couple of gigabytes of new software (mostly Monkey Island) on my notebook’s hard drive. The usual rule with Macheist (and similar deals) is that you only buy it if there’s a product you’d cheerfully pay the fee for in the bundle, and on that basis this bundle was a great deal for me: I’m a sucker for Monkey Island (even though I never really cared for the threequel). I’m also glad to see Telltale Games shipping Mac products (I hope they port the Sam & Max titles: I will cheerfully pay retail for any Sam & Max title until I become jaded, but I’ll probably buy the Wii version otherwise…).

I did end up installing all of the other programs, although some got uninstalled pretty darn quickly.

MacJournal is a really huge program for keeping a journal. I have a cloud-based solution for doing this called WordPress and — unlike MacJournal — it is accessible from anywhere (including my iPhone), it’s free (and open source), it lets me make some journal entries public while keeping others private, has a comment system, does version control, automatically backs up to the cloud, and doesn’t take up a metric buttload of hard disk space. (Uninstalled)

As a side note, MacJournal is a fine example of an attractive, functional, easy-to-use useless piece of software the like of which does not exist for Windows. If you found a niche product like this for Windows it would be a horrible piece of crap. MacJournal is quite lovely — it’s just not useful to me. All of the pieces of software in the Macheist bundle that I’ve installed and used have been very polished, stable products. It’s a testament to the quality of Apple’s indie software ecology, and I think it must be quite terrifying for Microsoft which cannot itself produce such polished products let alone attract third parties to do so.

Ripit is a program that does one thing (rip DVDs to hard disk) and does it very, very well. I have not quite reached the point of ripping my entire DVD library but when I do, I’ll be glad I got a license for this. (Installed but not used, yet.)

Clips is an intriguing little hack that monitors you clipboard and then automatically keeps the last N clipboards around for use at the touch of a key. I think this is a great idea and pretty well-implemented, but it just never occurs to me to use it. I’m running it though and maybe, one day, I’ll actually use it. It’s a lot like multiple-undo, I think — one day you’ll realize you (a) use it all the time and (b) get enormously annoyed by a program that doesn’t have it. (Installed, running, but not used yet.)

CoverScout is an intriguing iTunes add-on. I haven’t installed it yet but I have high hopes that it will actually help sort out my iTunes cover art situation (my wife and I ripped our entire CD collection two house moves ago, and many of the tracks have very odd cover art having been incorrectly identified by iTunes at some point. As I understand it, CoverScout’s sole purpose in life is to fix this kind of thing, so I’m hoping it’s good at it. (Not yet installed.)

Flow I’ve already discussed. I think I may be in love. At minimum, Flow makes Little Snapper irrelevant by doing what Little Snapper does for screenshots for — basically — everything. I still use Transmit without thinking, though. (Installed, used, kept.)

Rapidweaver is a program I’ve considered and rejected in the past. It’s a very similar program to Sandvox (which I also own and don’t use), perhaps a little better put together and with generally more attractive (and, as far as I can tell, flexible) themes. Unlike Sandvox, it seems to have built up a fairly solid third-party plugin ecology and might actually be a useful product for someone looking for a template-based web development tool. More attractive and flexible than Sandvox, produces much lighter weight pages than iWeb (although also much less flexible graphically). Rapidweaver has also been sitting at version 4.3.1 for a rather long time (it used to be one of those programs that would get revved every few weeks) — perhaps the developers are losing interest. (Installed, messed around with, probably will be uninstalled.)

Tweetie is one of those non-solutions to non-problems. Indeed, since it’s a desktop Twitter client it’s something of a meta-non-solution to a meta-non-problem. I installed it and played with it for a few minutes — the fact that it was not especially obvious how to make a new tweet was a very discouraging sign (I did figure it out…). But at least it’s small. (Installed, used, kept… for some reason. Oh, that’s right, it’s 2MB.)

The Macheist folks also snuck in three bonus programs for promoting them via Twitter (further alienating me from Twitter). One of the programs — Tracks (installed, used, kept) — is a very well thought out iTunes remote (in particular it offers Spotlight-like access to your iTunes library from a menubar widget) but the other two — Airburst Extreme (Uninstalled) and Burning Monkey Solitaire (Not downloaded) — are wastes of hard disk space as far as I’m concerned.

I just love the expressions on these birds faces, aren't they CUTE! This card is already in the post for my brother, I hope he likes it ;-) In retrospect I wish I had stamped the string as if he was holding it in his beak better, maybe extending the string a bit, but it's too late now ;-)

Friday, August 31, 2007

This Sunday is the baptism of our daughter, Lily-Anna Joy Rees. To the left is the design for a postcard invite I knocked up which we sent out a while back.
It's all a bit hectic what with friends and family coming from all over and getting things like the service itself organised - Tess Ward and myself will be getting robed up and doing the honours. It will be such a privilege to actually do the baptising bit myself.
Readers of this blog can consider themselves invited if they haven't already 'officially' been (by the receiving of said postcard).
I'll try and post some pics afterwards.

Sarcastic Lutheran said...

God's blessings and grace be with you on this special day

Ben said...

great postcard, have a brilliant day!

At 9 am this morning the water level reached 17.45 meters in Rio Branco and it is still rising. The all-time record is 17.66 meters. Expectations are that a new record high will occur in the next days.

On May 2nd, 2014, we started our long journey of El Camino de Santiago de Compostela in Lourdes, France. There are a number of traditional routes beginning all over Europe, but we have picked the Camino Frances, a 500+ mile hike across southern France and northern Spain.

El Camino is an ancient pilgrimage that ends in Santiago de Compostela, where it is said the remains of St. James the Great are buried. People have been making this pilgrimage since medieval times. And while it started out as a Christian journey, many people of different religions (or even no religion at all) are inspired to make the journey for many reasons.

For us, at its core, it has to do with self-discovery, love, grief, and acceptance. This story isn’t just about us on our present journey, but it is also about our past, future, and the people we hold near and dear. While we are walking El Camino together, our underlying purposes are different.

For that reason we have chosen to write about our individual, unique experiences, and not read what the other one writes, until we are done. We’ve agreed to write vulnerably and honestly, sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly, even if the ugly sucks. And you, as the reader, will be the only one who knows both sides of the story.

While we finished our Camino on July 9th, you’ll be reading about our journey as it unfolded until we are done posting. Our goal is post a new blog post two times a week. When we are done, we’ll each read everything the other person wrote.

One thing we learned along the way, is that the Camino begins after the Camino. Buen Camino! Thanks for joining us in our journey.

May 2nd, 2014: Today was Day 1… Surreal and Sad

By Eric A Man In Lourdes I can’t help but wonder how much of a circus this place must be during peak tourist season. I’ve been told, that Shannon and I have come to a holy place. A very holy place. I remember hearing the stories as far back as my earliest memories allow me.Continue Reading

May 3rd, 2014: Today was Day 2… Shitty With a Side of Depression

By Eric As One Year Anniversaries Go… Yesterday, well it kind of sucked. It’s all a bit surreal I suppose. By all accounts, one would think I should be having the time of my life. I am in the south of France. The countryside and foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains are gorgeous. The weather isContinue Reading

May 4th, 2014: Today was Day 3… Somber, But Looking On The Bright Side Of Life

By Eric I Think it’s Time… To step outside. To smell the spring in the air. To add a bounce to my step. To live. To honor. To love. To remember. To find closure. The last couple of days have been strangely devastating for me. It’s been a year. An entire year. There was aContinue Reading

May 5th, 2014: Today was Day 4… There’s a real world outside!

By Eric Sometimes Taking Your Own Advice… It’s a good thing- getting out, enjoying life, and experiencing what we are here to experience. Today we prepare for our first day of finally hiking, but first, we relax, explore Lourdes, and enjoy the scenery.             Distance: Hurray!! Tomorrow we start ourContinue Reading

May 6th, 2014: Today was Day 5…Started Hiking, but the Dirt on How it All Went Down Will Come in 4 Days!

By Eric In Homage to the Movie That Started it All… As if placed there just for us- a tiny, off-the-beaten-path cinema, the Cinéma Majestic, with only one movie screen in this town of Lourdes, was playing the movie The Way. The Way, starring Martin Sheen, and the directorial debut of Emilio Estevez, was theContinue Reading

May 7th, 2014: Today was Day 6… EXHAUSTION

By Eric As of today, Shannon and I have experienced our first two days of hiking. I planned to wait until the next post, because I knew I would be extremely exhausted- I was right. I can barely move my body at the moment! I will simply leave this post with one funny foto- thisContinue Reading

May 8th, 2014: Today was Day 7… Reality Is A Son Of A B!$@H

By Eric Reality Bites… And sometimes it bites hard! Shannon and I have been on the road, traveling and working for almost two years. You would think that at this point, we would be pros at what to pack in a pinch, and what to leave behind at all costs. Well, in most cases weContinue Reading

May 9th, 2014: Today was Day 8… Oh the Pain, Oh the Agony

By Eric No Pain, No Gain… Easier Said Than Done I’m a big Elvis Costello fan- I’m an even bigger Shannon Lynberg fan. She’s my fiancé; my future wife; my soul mate; my best friend. But sometimes life is hard, and when it is hard on Shannon, it breaks my heart. We are currently onContinue Reading

May 10th, 2014: Today was Day 9… Take a Breath, ahhhh…

By Eric Whoever Said to Stop to Smell the Roses This was a brilliant person! Today is our 3rd and final work/rest day here in Arudy, France. We originally scheduled this “work” period just 2 days into the start of our hike because of professional obligations. Clearly there were bigger forces at play- forces thatContinue Reading

May 11th, 2014: Today was Day 10… Spectacular….Grueling…SPECTACULAR!

By Eric The Most Amazing But Difficult Day EVER I tend to thrive on challenges that bring the pain. I may not always succeed, but I always push myself mentally and physically until the point of collapse. I have countless stories of crazy adventures such as: driving 60+ hours cross-country non-stop; helping a friend moveContinue Reading

May 12th, 2014: Today was Day 11… And God Rested on the Seventh Day…

By Eric FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE And so… did we. Technically, we began blogging on May 2nd, the one year anniversary of my mom’s death. But we did not begin hiking until May 6th, and that makes today, May 12th, the seventh day, since we began this crazy adventure. And thusContinue Reading

May 13th, 2014: Today was Day 12… A Second Day of Rest

By Eric And a Video’s Interpretation of a Tough Day Two days ago, I wrote about and posted photos in great detail about the wonderfully challenging day our hike was from Arudy, France to Oloron-Sainte-Marie, France. Yesterday, I wrote about our first rest day in Oloron-Sainte-Marie, and I pondered the future of our hike. WillContinue Reading

May 14th, 2014: Today was Day 13… A Day of Adventure, a Day of Miracles?

By Eric After our two days of rest in Oloron-Sainte-Marie, France, we finally hiked again! But… at the end of today, which was a strange, long, and beautiful day, we decided, yet again, to take a rest day tomorrow. Therefore, I will expand on today’s hike, while we rest tomorrow. I will try not toContinue Reading

May 15th, 2014: Today was Day 14… A Day of Rest, a Day of Reckoning…

By Eric Today we have had an amazing day of rest in Musculdy, France. It is a picturesque, rural village in the rolling foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains. It’s known for artisan cheeses and wines. And hills. Many, many hills. We are enjoying a hotel with the first bathtub we have had in quite someContinue Reading

May 16th, 2014: Today was Day 15… A Huge Push Forward!

By Eric The Physical and Emotional Push To Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port I realize I have written with mixed levels of enthusiasm in the last few days. Enthusiasm about my expectations of how far Shannon and I will make it on our overall goal of hiking from Lourdes, France to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. If we even makeContinue Reading

May 17th, 2014: Today was Day 16… Thunderstorms in our horizon?

By Eric We relax today in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, France. We are finally at the entrance to the Pyrenees Mountains. Our great assent up those fabled hills will begin in two days. We are finally in a town with resources to replenish and/or replace our hiking gear. In particular, I can finally buy an actual pair ofContinue Reading

May 18th, 2014: Today was Day 17… Tomorrow is the First Day of the Rest of Our Hike

By Eric Today is our last rest and preparation day in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. We have spent the last twelve days hiking and preparing, essentially, for tomorrow: The Pyrenees Mountains. For me, this is otherwise known as the first day of the rest of our lives, ahem, I mean our hike. There are several routes to makeContinue Reading

May 19th, 2014: Today was Day 18… Now this is what I call hiking!

By Eric Hiking El Camino de Santiago- today is the first day I truly feel like we are doing that! I have hiked many mountains and camped all along the way, but I have never before hiked for days straight of endless kilometers of concreted highways. Today confirmed for me what I thought over theContinue Reading

May 20th, 2014: Today was Day 19… Epic! Only Epic Can Describe Today.

By Eric It was easily the most thrilling day of any of our hikes so far. Today we woke up in our refuge in Orisson, high in the mountains of the Pyrenees, and we intended to hike up and over these mountains and down to Roncesvalles, Spain. Today, after almost two amazing weeks hiking thruContinue Reading

May 21th, 2014: Today was Day 20… Epic! Pyrenees Take Deux…

By Eric Hiking the Pyrenees was such an amazing and multifaceted day, that on yesterday’s blog post, I decided to make a much longer than usual video. I kept my writing to a minimum, and I did not post any photos. But without the addition of photos, I would be doing an injustice in depictingContinue Reading

May 22th, 2014: Today was Day 21… Travels worthy of Hemingway!

By Eric As far as “real time” is concerned, I am still a day behind in my writing, since I dedicated two days of writing to crossing the Pyrenees Mountains. Can you blame me? It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Today, we are actually hiking from Zubiri, Spain and into Pamplona,Continue Reading

May 2nd, 2014: Today was day 1…..it was partly gloomy.

By Shannon This morning we woke up to rainy, cold, and dreary weather. It perfectly matched the sense of dread hanging over me. I couldn’t quite place the dread. Maybe it had to do with the fact that today is the one year anniversary of Lourdes’ (Eric’s mom) death or that we start the hikeContinue Reading

May 3rd, 2014: Today is day 2… it feels unreal.

By Shannon Yesterday when we were walking to the information center at the Basilica to get our camino credentials, we noticed a sign that said, The Way was playing at the local theater. The sign was in French, but luckily one of the few things I retained from my high school French class was howContinue Reading

May 4th, 2014: Today is day 3… it was amazing.

By Shannon A few weeks ago, Eric told me that he had figured out a way download all the text messages we’ve ever sent each other. And today, he FINALLY gave me the PDF containing every.single.one. of our text messages. Well, almost every text. There’s about eight months missing between October 2009 and July 2010.Continue Reading

May 5th, 2014: Today is day 4….blah

By Shannon It’s the day before we start hiking. I don’t want to go. I’m feeling deep resistance. The only problem, I don’t want to stay in this town anymore. We came to Lourdes, purely because it’s Eric’s Mom’s name, and being a devout Catholic, it was an important place for her. But we neverContinue Reading

May 6th, 2014: Today was day 5…. it was challenging

By Shannon This morning when the alarm went off at 9am, I didn’t want to get up. Staring at the contents of my pack strewed across the floor, the last thing in the world I wanted to do was to stuff everything in. After I grumbling “just five more minutes” a fifth and final time,Continue Reading

May 7th 2014: Today was day 6…….I’m so sore.

By Shannon I stop walking up the hill we’ve been climbing of the last 30 minutes. Eric who is a ahead of me, turns around to check on me. When he sees me struggling, he walks back towards me and asks me what’s wrong. I tell him, “This doesn’t feel right. I don’t think we areContinue Reading

May 8th, 2014: Today is day 7….ouch.

By Shannon My body has never ached as much as it does now. Everything hurts. I don’t want to move and I don’t even think I can. I think my electrolytes are low because no matter how much water I drink, I can’t quench my thirst and as soon as I drink water I haveContinue Reading

May 9th, 2014: Today is day 8…it was eye opening.

By Shannon I don’t want to leave the comfort of our hotel (and wifi) but I know we need to go to the gite. Not only for the sake of our budget, but also for the experience. A lot of pilgrims only stay in gite/alberges but since I need guaranteed wifi and private places toContinue Reading

May 10th 2014: Today was day 9….I’m feeling fatigued.

By Shannon When the alarm goes off at 7:30am, the last thing I want to do is get out of bed. I’m so not a morning person. But we both get up and head downstairs for breakfast and coffee. Father Pierre stamps our credentials and give us step-by-step instructions in English on how to getContinue Reading

May 11th, 2014: Today is Day 10… Rollercoaster of a day

By Shannon I’m finding it difficult to write about everything that happened today. It was such a rollercoaster of a day. We went from waking up in the rain to having to start the hike on a busy road, to sun and peacefulness on quiet pastoral roads and trail. We started out confident, armed withContinue Reading

May 12th 2014: Today was day 11…I can hardly move.

By Shannon When we wake in the morning, my feet still ache. I am grateful for our new plan because there is no way I could walk the same distance today. Eric and I debate over if we are cheating or not, but we decided that this part of the trip between Lourdes and Saint-Jean-Pied-de-PortContinue Reading

May 13th 2014: Today was day 12……it was amazing to relax all day.

By Shannon   Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill was my first CD. My Mom gave it to me as a Christmas present in 1995. She told me I could only listen to it at home, and only when my friends were not around, since it was explicit. I think she must have known how muchContinue Reading

May 14th, 2014: Today was day 13…It was very synchronistic.

By Shannon Before we leave Oloron-Sainte-Marie, we decide to mail the stuff we are sending home plus some heavier electronics that we still need, ahead to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in order to make our packs as light as possible for the next few days. While Eric goes to the post office to ship our box, I sitContinue Reading

May 15th, 2014: Today was day 14….It was a beautiful day for reflection

By Shannon Our friend Haci, who lives in Istanbul reads coffee grounds – you know, kind of like reading tea leaves. I don’t know if this is something that a lot of people know how to do in Turkey, or if it’s just Haci, but last time we were in Istanbul, right before we startedContinue Reading

May 16th 2014: Today was day 15….It was HARD!

By Shannon Our day off in Musculdy was exactly what I needed. I feel ready to take on this final hike to SJPdP (Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port). It’s a beautiful day and I’m feeling like I can do this and today’s hike will be no problem! As we set out, I reflect on the call I had lastContinue Reading

May 17th, 2014: Today was day 16….It was OK.

By Shannon Today was our first full day in SJPdP. Last night we stayed in a really strange hotel where the owner was all up in our business. The room was fine, but the owner definitely gave me the creeps so I’m happy to be going to a different place for the next two nights.Continue Reading

May 18th 2014: Today was day 17….It was nerve racking

By Shannon I wake up with my stomach in knots. I slept alone last night because Eric stayed up late working in the living room of the apartment we’ve rented, and he didn’t want to wake me by coming into bed at 3am. Waking up in the bed alone, but with Eric just in theContinue Reading

May 19th, 2014: Today was Day 18 it was scary, funny, and amazing.

By Shannon I’m standing at the foot of a dirt path leading straight up the side of the mountain. The heat is bearing down. I keep telling myself, “all you have to do is put one foot in front of the other.” Today’s hike is only 9 kilometers, but it’s rumored to be one ofContinue Reading

May 20th, 2014: Today was Day 19. It was rough.

By Shannon We wake up to hard, cold rain. It’s hard to believe that yesterday was sunny and beautiful but we heard how unpredictable the weather in the Pyrenees can be. I’m dreading today’s 19 kilometer hike already. We join everyone else for breakfast in the dining area – it’s french bread, jelly, and coffeeContinue Reading

May 21st, 2014: Today was Day 20. It was storming and adventurous.

By Shannon The alarm goes off at 6:30am. But I’ve been tossing and turning already for an hour. My right hip is so tight and sore that I couldn’t get comfortable all night. Even though I am awake, I don’t want to get out of bed. I can just barely see out the window andContinue Reading

May 22nd, 2014: Today was day 21….It had it’s ups and downs.

By Shannon When I hear the alarm go off at 7am, I don’t feel ready for the day ahead of me. Because of tightness in my right hip, I tossed and turned all night, finding it impossible to get comfortable no matter what position I was in. While last night provided some much needed relaxationContinue Reading

Prayering with Tarot Cards Things To Know Before You Buy

When I did all this, I felt cozy more than enough with Saint Peter, owning worked with him as a Patron, to vocalize my needs and narrate my feelings through the procedure. I believe it helps to “speak out” your issues, specially when that you are approaching an entity with a petition to vary your life.

It was not right until three yrs right after my mom passed although talking to my 3 sisters and Aunt-moms youngest sister -(My major Aunt") and talking about why my mom's understood the best way to go through cards, and spirits, and alot of items unusual, but not regular for her ,and my grandmother way too,

How am i able to most effective provide Other individuals with my Tarot deck?  They're not straightforward thoughts, so one way to begin the whole process of answering them could possibly be to do some thoughtful journaling regarding your romantic relationship with the Tarot.

Also Take into account that these meanings are always temporary and you can extend them to encompass relevant concepts, for instance, the A few of Hearts can reveal a celebration, the Four of Clubs could possibly suggest a wedding or perhaps a change of home (Every single function is the fruits of a period of labor). Be creative.

Sometimes I pray prior to a looking through with a querent or just for myself-but I normally smudge them and me-that way not one person is embarrased(whenever they arn't a spiritally oriented person) and I do know we are the two safeguarded. Form of like acquiring safe intercourse in a means.

You may imagine your Tarot deck might be Weary of Listening to you inquire the same old thoughts repeatedly. I know for any proven fact that if my deck have been anyone, It could be sighing and rolling it’s eyes at the majority of my queries by now.

As the Major Arcana frequently takes advantage of wide symbolism of archetypes, these are typically a superb in shape for 1 and a pair of, although the Slight Arcana tend to be more particular in their symbolism, so they will often be a good match to the quantity three position website of the Outcome location. On the other hand, this is only my opinion and Be at liberty to implement what feels best for your needs.

As on your shuffling question – it click here feels like you’re accomplishing it appropriate. I prefer to shuffle ahead of I question a question, then I hold the cards in my fingers whilst focusing on my problem.

It received’t certainly be a warm and fuzzy deck I don’t Believe, lol, but it appears that evidently It will probably be my go-to deck when I need some hard adore.

As for the final issue, the deck seems to Imagine you have been somewhat insecure in your use of it, though the jumper implies that will improve – just go with the stream.

Thanks :) I have numerous - a single is After i was supplying a short reading through to a lady who was obtaining problems deciding on in between two fellas... and was seeing equally of these. Her cards ended up all about pregnancy.

That was it. No more details which does not shock me, my family experienced constantly been so directory shut mouth and secretive.

But what if God could speak to you instantly? Nicely God can and does in many ways. Unfortunately we're taught that if we somehow get a solution again then it is evil. Go determine….

So I did the looking through and will use interpretation assistance. Basically linked to my function, left old excellent paying out work For brand new position that didn't exercise.

Preggy and Sexy

Due to the change of hormones when pregnant, some women feel like they are no longer beautiful while pregnant. They somehow experience the feeling that everything is unproportioned already. They think that they are no longer sexy.

Pregnant women can still be sexy! There are Maternity Clothes that are trendy and very fashionable. The secret of looking good is to find the comfortable Maternity Dress, or Maternity Skirts or even Maternity Shorts and Pants. When you look good you will always feel good! When you feel good and have a positive outlook in life, it will be good for the baby you are carrying.

Being pregnant is for me a privilege and a gift. Show off the life inside you. Don't be afraid to enjoy the summer. Go out and wear those trendy Maternity Swimwear. Summer is suppose to be a time to have fun and enjoy it with the family. Don't make your pregnancy an excuse. Pregnancy will make you gain more weight but don't stop yourself from wearing a maternity swimwear afterall, those trendy swimwear will make you stand out!

Holiday Buying Guide

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Dirt Devil. All opinions are 100% mine.

Wow! I can't believe it, 8 days and it will be Christmas. It seems like it was just yesterday and yet it is Christmas time again. How's your Christmas shopping everyone? I am not yet done with mine. I still have a few items to pick for our little girl. Actually, I am not buying a lot because it is not financially feasible for us. I am just glad that I was able to buy some items that I like at a discounted price because when I shopped online, I was able to get some promo codes for discounts and free shipping. The Dirt Devil Holiday Buying Guide has been very helpful to me on my online shopping because they have lists of more than 300 websites that you can choose to get the best deal of an item you want to buy. They also have free shipping shortcuts, which comes very handy on my online shopping spree.

Anyway, have you found the perfect gift for your loved ones? If you haven't, check out the Holiday Deals because they have different items that will be perfect for your family. They have offers like Gifts for Her, Gifts for Him and Family Favorites. They even offer holiday savings and special bundles.

Avoid the Christmas shopping rush... shop online and take advantage of the savings that the Dirt Devil Holiday Buying Guide can give you.
