Sitting happily in my sewing box is this little Sewbot. She holds all my needles in use quite nicely!
People are always asking me if my shirts shrink, amongst other things, so I made this helpful card to help in a somewhat backwards way. Frankly, most modern shirts aren't going to shrink on you unless you boil them, but I'm kind of a smart ass.

How was the local ABV Coordinator and the support provided in-country?
Nicki was great. She was helpful in giving us information about the project, and Costa Rica in general.
It was great to have an English speaker coordinator to help us transition our time at the sea turtle camp.
What was the most surprising thing you experience?
The type of work we did sometimes surprised me. At first I was surprised that clearing paths would help the sea turtles/conservation project, but then learning more I understood how all the parts we did helped to sustain or expand the program.
What was the most difficult to experience?
Since two of the nests were overdue but had not hatched we had to dig them up (to see what was wrong) unfortunately the turtles were all dead. We had to remove the eggs and dead babies.
Any tips for future volunteers… (Clothing, travel, personal items, donations)
Bring practical clothing that you do not mind getting dirty or leaving them behind.
Other things volunteers should know
A) You do not need much at the camp
b) Bring lots of sunscreen and bugspray, flip flops
c) Try to leave all expectations behind & adapt to life at the camp. It will be a rewarding experience if you do.
You will get very dirty. Expect night shifts and physical labor. Try to make the best of the situation and you will have the most fun and interesting experience at the camp.
Personal Paragraph (ABV Testimonial)
For me this was a completely new experience because I have never even been camping! It was not always easy to adapt to the very simple conditions but once I did it, it was one of the best experiences
Of my college time to live so close to nature without technology for 10 days.
How would you describe your accommodations, meals, security?
We had a share on-site accommodation that was not fully closed from outdoors. It was very basic but still felt safe. The meals were almost always a combination of rice, beans and something else. But very good.
What was your favorite memory of this trip?
Watching the sun set and the stars on the beach without light pollution and other noises/distractions.
The experience of nature is very different here. We had the whole beach to ourselves most of the time, That was a very rare and great experience.
How as the ABV support prior to traveling?
It was good. We received the itinerary and information by pdf and felt prepared.
Are you willing to speak to other potential ABV volunteers?
Yes.

This is a photograph from the Castlepollard 5KM Road Race and Fun Run 2019, which was held in Castlepollard, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 14th August 2019 at 20:00. The race is hosted by North Westmeath Athletic Club. This race is the penultimate race in the Kia Race Series 2019. The weather was very changeable this evening and was not very suitable for racing. The participants had a very stiff breeze in their faces on the outward stretch and all the way to the 2KM mark within Tullynally. This then became a helpful tailwail for the final KM of the race. There was a heavy shower of rain just before the start of the race.
Starting off many years ago the race was very much a local affair drawing runners from the sounding areas of Mullingar, North East Meath, Cavan, and Longford. However, the race has grown in stature and popularity over the years and is now one of the most well attended road races in the midlands and sees participants from all over Ireland. The race offers prizes in all categories. The Castlepollard 5KM Road Race attempts to support young runners and walkers by organising a range of underage races around the town square before the adult race at 20:00. Profits from the race go towards grassroots athletics in the region - North Westmeath Athletics, Schools Cross Country, and local community games. As summer moves into autumn the Castlepollard 5KM can be considered as the 'unofficial ending' of summer evening road racing in the midlands as with the fading light of the late summer evenings there are less opportunities to hold races in the evening time. Castlepollard is a small town located in North County Westmeath amongst the lakes of Lough Lene and Lough Derravagh. One of the show pieces of the race landscape is Tullynally Castle which provides almost 2.5KM of the race route. The name Tullynally is an adaption of 'Tulaigh an Eallaigh' – the Hill of the Swan. The hill overlooks the mythical Lough Derravaragh. Irish folklore legend names the lake as where the Children of Lir, who were turned into swans, were destined to live for 300 years. Tullynally Castle is still a family home to this day. It provides a dramatic and historic setting for the race.
The race begins near the center of the town square and proceeds directly out the R395 towards Coole and Edgeworthstown. The first KM is flat and quick allowing the field to spread out. The race then enters the Tullynally Castle estate and proceeds up the tree-lined avenue. Underfoot conditions are good on well maintained tarmacadam roads. The gardens, like the castle are on a grand scale, taking in nearly 12 acres. This allows the race to make a big loop of the gardens with a quick downhill stretch followed by a sharp climb (passing the Castle) before the race rejoins its outgoing path for the final 1.5KM of the race. The final 1100M from the archway gate of the Castle grounds to the finish is as the first - fast and flat and allows for a great finish passing the GAA grounds with finish line just outside the local Fire Station.
This year almost 350 took part in the race. It goes without saying that the Castlepollard 5KM has become one of the "must do" road race events in the midlands. Everything that is good about club road racing in Ireland can be found here. There is a great community atmosphere about the race. A very find spread of refreshments are provided afterwards in the Hotel Castlepollard where prize-giving and chatting goes on late into the evening.

One of the enduring symbols of the Castlepollard 5KM is the tireless work of Andy MacEoin of North Westmeath AC who has been a visitor to almost every road race in the Midlands and beyond over the past number of months to publicize the event. Many of the participants tonight will have seen Andy's strategically placed advertising signs around other road race routes. Certainly this work, and that of many other members of North Westmeath AC, has paid off well.

Pneumonia or not, I still have to write my syndicated column!
The desk is a mess, but I'm almost done with the column this week. Three days I've been working on it, in little tiny increments. And Eddie, fresh from his bath, is happy to perch on his towel on my desk chair and cheer me on.
Check out the notes.
Nap up next. Whoo-hoo.
Thank goodness for these helpful signs everywhere. Otherwise I mighta been squished by a double decker once or two hundred times.
Like the Western world, where tattoos are trendy, West Africa also experienced a period where they were appreciated and helpful. It was from the 1980s to the 2000s, with "rude" tattoos made with needles, as shown in the photo example. Women seemed more attracted to writing their first and last names, which also served as an ID card in case of trouble, which saved people. The most frequent motifs were also animals corresponding to astrological signs,s to which were added butterflies and flowers or hearts with the inscription "Love". Many Togolese girls have tattoos, some of whom work in bars in the big cities of Burkina Faso.
Tout comme le monde occidental où les tatouages sont très tendance, l'Afrique de l'Ouest a également connu une période où ils étaient appréciés et surtout utiles. C'était dans les années 1980 à 2000 avec des tatouages "grossiers" faits avec des aiguilles comme le montre l'exemple sur la photo. Les femmes semblaient plus attirées avec l'écriture de leurs noms et prénoms qui faisaient également office de carte d'identité en cas de problème, ce qui a sauvé des gens. Les motifs les plus fréquents étaient également des animaux correspondant aux signes astrologiques auxquels s'ajoutaient les papillons ainsi que des fleurs ou des cœurs avec l'inscription "Love". Les filles togolaises sont nombreuses a avoir des tatouages dont certaines travaillent dans les bars des grandes villes du Burkina Faso.

Chucking a barricade at a line of Chicago cops is a good idea if:
A) You thought it was theirs and they asked you to throw it.
B) You want your mom to see you on TV with your new bloody nose.
C) Spitting teeth sounds like fun
D) On further review, that wasn't really good idea.

"hey evan..."
"what?"
"mom's got new contacts and needs to test them to make sure i can see through the camera with them."
"ok..."
"just sit there and i'll snap a few images."
...and this is what he did.
so, after the purchase of additional reading glasses to go along with my newly prescribed contacts, i can finally see close-up again.
I have a new mattress being delivered today so had to strip the bed. She was chewing the sheet a moment before this.

This is a scan of Comp Cams,Cam-Selection Simulation for the XS282S.
www.compcams.com/Company/CC/cam-specs/Details.aspx?csid=2...
It was a very helpful tool to see what the different cam choices did to the HP/TQ curves.It is not a real dyno,so I was not so much interested in the numbers it gave, as I was in the curves it predicted,looking for the fullest curve in the 3000 to 6000 RPM range.Peak Horsepower was at 6000 RPM and Peak Torque was at 4500 RPM,{at 5252 RPM TQ=HP}Surprisingly the engine "acts" very much like the Simulation predicts.
Horsepower=Torque x RPM/5,252
Torque=Horsepower x 5,252/RPM

I have found some conflicting data between engine builders and the cam industry professionals on optimal LSA and duration.From the simulation curve and theory,it seems that a tighter LSA makes the torque curve higher and shorter,and duration moves the torque peak up or down in the RPM range{as does advancing or retarding the LCA at installation}.My cam choice was based on overlap for idle quality and vacuum{a wider LSA makes for a smoother idle and higher manifold vacuum},duration for the RPM torque peak,LSA for the shape of the curve,and lift to get the most out of the head flow.Without a dyno,and physically changing cams to test,this simulation was a good tool to see the torque curve.
{A naturally aspirated,max. power,pump gas street engine on a budget is all about compromise}.
Note; The 280TL-6 is ground on a 106 LSA,280 duration,and has 72 deg. overlap.This cam had a simular torque curve as the XE282S,but the overlap was closer to the 290+ duration cams on a 110 LSA,so I concluded that the conflicting data on optimal LSA and duration had more to do with idle quality,and the XE line of cams looked to be the {middle ground} of the conflicting data.
