Reviving my long-dead forum name just to bump this as well. Bring μ's and you'll make an absolute ton of people happy, myself included.
It's nearly time, I hope everyone is about ready for the craziness?
As a Shadow Yukiko, I am pleased to hear this.
Oh man you got my vote for them!
Can I just say that you're taking this WAY too close to heart for someone who just wants to suggest a guest...? Forgive me for saying this but if I didn't know any better I'd say you were actually them with the amount of vigor you're throwing into this compadre. Cool your jets a bit bro, gettin' a little too into it yeah?
As a Shadow Yukiko cosplayer I vote for bring 'em.
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m573cm446k1rtjw1mo1_250.gif Thank you, thank you, you've hit the nail on the head.
Just gonna throw this here....Why not concentrate on getting an actual like...VA or someone who composes music or...Even does art for one of the big anime names, by using resources to bring a cosplay contest winner here you're pretty much putting a briefcase full of cash down on a bonfire pit and lighting it using that money for kindling....Now do I think cosplayers deserve respect? Yes, they all do, no matter who you are. Unless this person has something to offer like a panel with tips and construction ideas for costumes and props I see it as a complete waste of money which could be better spent elsewhere. That's just my honest opinion.
I am a complete moron who missed this thread somehow, forgive me for that. I'll be joining the fun as Shadow Yukiko complete with glow in the dark yellow contact lenses. I simply can't wait to join in this and have a ton of fun with friends old and new alike.
I know this has been stressed enough but "Eat, eat eat!!" You -will- get sick if you don't keep your energy intake up, and trust me if you're the type of person who loves to get around you will burn a ton of it very fast, carry a bottle of water with you if you need to as well, no not a carbonated drink or something, water, it's much better for you to keep you hydrated.

opportUNITY Development, LLC was launched by Tamahn Jamison in 2016. A native of Virginia Beach, VA, Tamahn's strong work ethic began at the age of 11 when he started delivering newspapers. While his friends were playing games or chasing their dreams of becoming professional athletes, he understood the importance of work before play. After graduating from high school and watching the honor students walk across the stage, he promised his father that he would apply himself in college and graduate with at least a 3.0 GPA. The same focus that he possessed as an 11-year old paperboy carried him through fulfilling that promise. Along with earning a B.S. in Business Administration from Old Dominion University with a 3.17 GPA, he pushed himself to do so in four years - although many classmates needed 5+ years to do so - while simultaneously working a full-time job.
Prior to founding opportUNITY Development, LLC, Tamahn spent 20 years in sales and management for a handful of automotive entrepreneurs. It was during this time that he strengthened his skills of helping others achieve their personal and professional goals. In addition to training and developing the talent within the various organizations, he also became a personal mentor to dozens of those that worked with him over the years.
Tamahn is married to his loving wife Jaime, who is a musician, and has a daughter attending Norfolk State University. He has been a "Big" in the Atlanta Big Brothers Big Sisters program since 2014. Tamahn serves on the Board of Directors for the South Fulton Economic Empowerment Foundation (SFEEF) and as Chief Financial Officer on his homeowner's association (HOA) Board of Directors. You can often find Tamahn in attendance at City Council meetings or networking at business events. In his spare time he enjoys spending time with his family and friends, playing pool or reading a good book.


A leading property agency has made three promotions as the firm experiences a continued period of growth.
Fisher German has promoted Anna Collins to associate director and Hannah Godley to senior planner at its Ashby office and Ben Flint to senior surveyor at its Doncaster office.
Anna, who has been in the industry more than 20 years, is based in Fisher German's central Midlands valuation team and originally joined the firm's Ashby office after graduating from Reading University. She then left the firm before re-joining in 2014, working in Market Harborough and then returning to the office where she began her career.


Ad revenue for the NFL dropped 19% in the September-October period as the number of 30-second commercial spots fell 6%, according to new findings from Standard Media Index shared with Marketing Dive.
A fumble for the league came amid flat performance for linear TV broadly. Broadcast revenue dropped 7% — a decline partially attributed to a shoddy showing for NFL games — and cable grew 5% during the period. Broadcast networks performed more positively in news and primetime original entertainment than they did in sports. Networks increased the number of 30-second spots by 5% year-over-year but the percentage of unpaid spots, also known as makegoods, dropped six percentage points.
The auto industry spent the most on national TV advertising in October but spend was down 9% year-over-year for the category. Similarly, entertainment was down 7% and QSR was down 3%; however, prescription drugs were up 1% and insurance was up 9%. The national advertising marketplace overall grew 7% year-over-year in October, with digital the strongest growing format at 17%. Out-of-home grew 10% and radio 7% over the period, while print decreased 27%.

Skyrmion lattices in chiral magnets can be regarded as macroscopic lattices formed by topological entities with particle-like properties where the particle-like character of the Skyrmions is reflected in the integer winding number of their magnetization. Due to their topology, Skyrmions cannot be destroyed or created by smooth deformation of a trivial spin texture. We use magnetic force microscopy in combination with numerical simulations and small angle neutron scattering to study the topological unwinding of Skyrmion lines in a bulk crystal of Fe1-xCoxSi (x = 0.5). Our study shows that the Skyrmion lines decay by means of point defects which act in a way similar to the slider of a zipper. We show that these point defects can be regarded as quantized magnetic monopoles of emergent magnetic flux [1].
Skyrmions: Topological protection & particle-like properties
Two objects or configurations are topologically different (they belong to a different homotopy group) if there exists no continuous transformation of one configuration into the other without cutting or gluing [2]. The same applies to Skyrmions: The concept goes back to Tony Skyrme, who succeeded in describing the constituents of the nucleus – protons and neutrons – as particle-like excitations with non-trivial topology that emerge in the presence of non-linear excitations [3]. Recently, Skyrmionic matter has also been observed in a completely different context: Materials exhibiting helical magnetic structures such as MnSi [4], Fe1-xCoxSi [5] or Cu2OSeO3 [6] show peculiar spin textures with non-trivial topology, characterized by an integer winding number of -1. These Skyrmion lines can be seen as magnetic whirls – akin to vortices in type II superconductors – with particle-like properties, oriented parallel to a small external magnetic field (fig. 1 A). Due to their topology, these magnetic Skyrmions cannot be destroyed or created by a smooth deformation of a trivial spin texture – such as a ferromagnet. A similar idea applies to magnetic domain walls, which are examples of planar topological defects in two dimensions.
Skyrmion lattices – regular crystalline arrangements of Skyrmion lines found in chiral magnets provide an excellent showcase for the investigation of topological stability and phase conversion. We combine magnetic force microscopy (MFM) with numerical Monte Carlo (MC) calculations and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) [1] to investigate the topological stability and decay of Skyrmions in the B20 helimagnet Fe1-xCoxSi (x = 0.5) [1].
Skyrmion decay in Fe1-xCoxSi (x = 0.5)
With a typical length scale of ≈ 90 nm, the Skyrmion lattice of Fe1-xCoxSi (x = 0.5) is large compared to the resolution of MFM; however the bulk information is still accessible using SANS. Moreover, the possibility of undercooling the Skyrmion lattice phase of Fe1-xCoxSi (x = 0.5) from Tc = 45 K to a metastable state at low temperature allows one to study the generic mechanism of the topological unwinding without the dominating influence of thermal fluctuations close to Tc.
Typical MFM data for different magnetic fields is shown in figure 2(A). Data is recorded after cooling from Tc in a magnetic field of 20 mT to a temperature of 10 K (A1), followed by a magnetic field ramp to 10 mT (A2) and finally 0 mT (A3). The magnetic field is aligned perpendicular to the surface of the sample. It is clearly visible that individual skyrmions (as indicated by the blue spots) form a well-ordered Skyrmion lattice at 20 mT. Decreasing the field in this metastable state leads to a coalescence of Skyrmions which finally form elongated structures. Panels (B) of figure 2 show the corresponding Fourier transforms of the real space MFM data, confirmed by typical SANS patterns obtained on the same sample following an identical magnetic field and temperature protocol (panel ©). The agreement with bulk sensitive SANS data, obtained on SANS-1 at MLZ clearly proves that the surface sensitive MFM captures the essential features of the topological unwinding of Skyrmions in Fe1-xCoxSi (x = 0.5) in this bulk sample.
With the help of classical MC simulations on a 42 × 42 × 30 spin system, the mechanism behind the coalescence of Skyrmion lines could be examined in closer detail. Typical MC data is shown in figure 1 panels A and B. As the field is reduced, transverse fluctuations of the Skyrmion lines grow until individual Skyrmion lines touch and merge. Due to the topological charge or winding number of the Skyrmions, the point of coalescence necessarily carries a quantized emergent magnetic charge which can be interpreted as "emergent magnetic monopole" [1]. Two different processes can be identified: (i) The Skyrmion lines merge at the surface of the sample, an emergent (anti)monopole enters the sample through the surface. (ii) The point of coalescence can be located in the bulk of the sample, corresponding to monopole/ antimonopole pairs moving towards the surface. However, there is a finite linear potential (string tension) holding the monopole and antimonopole pair together. During phase conversion, the string potential vanishes and eventually becomes negative.
As interesting open question remains as to whether deconfined emergent monopoles exist as independent entities in chiral magnets. A promising candidate may be the unconventional non-Fermi liquid properties of MnSi under high pressure [7,8].

People complain about a lot of stuff. I tend to be a bit of a complainer myself. With all that has happened around me the last few days, it is so clear that my life is good. I have so little to complain about and so many more things to be incredibly thankful for.
I'm going to do my best to remember this going forward and let it change me.

Rosaire A. Desgagnés
Approaching Iroquois Lock upbound, Nov. 13, 2008.
(Ron Beaupre)
Rosaire A. Desgagnés (C831580) is the first of three new Beluga type E/F-240 multi-purpose dry cargo ships to join the Desgagnés fleet. This vessel was built as Hull J2/001 by the Jiangzhou Union Shipyard at Ruichang, China, and completed in July 2007 as Beluga Fortification.
The new ship arrived at her homeport Quebec City on August 28, 2007, and was formally christened Rosaire A. Desgagnés on August 29. It soon went to Valleyfield, Quebec, to load for the Canadian Arctic.
The vessel has an overall length of 452 feet, 11 inches, a beam of 68 feet, 10 inches and a molded depth of 36 feet, 1 inch. It is calculated at 9,611 gross tons, 4,260 net tons and can carry 12,777 tons deadweight. There are three cargo holds and each one is served by a single hatch and is equipped with removable 'tween decks that can be used as additional bulkheads if needed. There are two 120 metric ton electric-hydraulic, port side-mounted cranes that, when twinned, can provide a 240 ton lift up to 50 feet from the ship's side.
Rosaire A. Desgagnés is powered by a six cylinder, model 6M43 MAK/Caterpillar diesel engine that develops 7,344 brake horsepower. It is coupled to a single controllable pitch propeller and the vessel has a service speed of 15.5 knots. Electrical power is supplied by three 395 kilowatt diesel generators and one 750 kilowatt shaft generator. The ship is also equipped with a 500 horsepower bow thruster units.
It can carry 12,744 metric tons or 673 TEU containers at a mid-summer draft of 26 feet, 3 inches. Under a normal full load, the ship consumes approximately 23 metric tons of fuel each day. The vessel is fully certified for world-wide trading and is classed as GL+100A5 E3, the equivalent to Lloyd's 100 A1 Ice Class 1A.
Rosaire A. Desgagnés operates in the Arctic supply runs each summer and worldwide trading under an operational agreement with the Beluga Group of Germany through the remainder of the year. It is re-registered in Barbados each year for deep-sea service.
The vessel has also visited the Great Lakes, bringing cargoes of pig iron to Marinette or Menominee as well as to the Essar Steel Export Dock in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Named in honor of Captain Rosaire A. Desgagnés, a well-known and respected individual in the Canadian maritime industry and a man who has made an outstanding contribution to the success of Groupe Desgagnés.

Are you thinking about bringing some eco-friendly products into your home? Pottery Barn is here to help! This guide to choosing the ideal eco-friendly area rug shows you how to get started, and the process is so simple. Once you've looked into the eco-friendly materials used to create the rugs you're considering, you can take a familiar approach to making your final choice. Your taste and practical needs matter most, so it's helpful to keep your personal sense of style in mind as you shop.
Eco-friendly rugs often use materials such as recycled polyester, organic wool and even recycled drink bottles to create vibrant, colorful fibers that look just like their conventional counterparts. In fact, some eco-friendly rug fibers hold on to their colors particularly well, so they stay vivid and cheerful for years and years to come (and work really well outdoors!) If you like bright pops of color, you'll have plenty of options to consider, but it's also easy to find neutral shades such as beige, cream and gray. In this sense, choosing an eco-friendly rug is the same as picking out any other kind of floor covering – it's all about what you love.
One great thing about the recycled fibers that make up many eco-friendly rugs is that they're often both colorfast and resistant to damage from exposure to moisture. This makes eco-friendly rugs a great choice for porches, patios and entryways because they stay fresh and beautiful, even if they happen to get caught in a rainstorm or they frequently protect your floors from muddy shoes that might make their way indoors. Indoor-outdoor eco rugs are also easy to care for, which can make this style even more appealing for use throughout your house, especially if you have kids or pets.
There are really no design limits on rugs in the eco-friendly category; it's the way these rugs are made that sets them apart. You can find solid-colored eco-friendly area rugs in addition to a variety of patterns. From Moroccan-inspired tile and trellis designs to simple stripes and classic kilim patterns, eco-friendly rug design can go anywhere. You can bring a touch of classic cool into your home with a traditional Middle Eastern pattern or keep it fresh and modern with two-toned stripes.
Many eco-friendly area rugs are fully reversible, so you can enjoy dual-sided decoration while making the most of your rug. The pattern may appear inverse on each side, meaning that if your eco rug has a blue-and-white trellis pattern, blue will be the most prominent color on one side and white will be the most prominent color on the other. This gives you the power to subtly switch things up in your decor scheme without making major changes. If you like to keep things fresh and make some little changes every now and then, a reversible eco-friendly rug can be the ideal solution.
Do you like the feeling of a plush carpet under bare feet, or do you prefer a smooth, flat surface to step onto? Eco-friendly rug pile depths can vary, so if you have a strong preference in one direction, check out the pile depth as you shop. Labels such as "flat weave" and "indoor/outdoor" typically indicate a minimal pile that doesn't provide as much "sinking" when you step onto them. Eco rugs also may or may not feature border fringe, so if you prefer the look and feel of a clean-edge rug, it's easy to find an option with a sleek border.
Some eco-friendly rug styles work best with rug pads under them. For example, reversible styles often don't have built-in traction. There isn't technically a reverse side, so the rug may slide around a bit if it's on a smooth flooring surface such as hardwood or ceramic tile. However, this is a simple factor to address with a rug pad; just pick out an eco-friendly pad to slip under the rug to provide extra stability and cushioning. The rug pad can also help extend your rug's life by reducing wear and tear, so if reducing waste is one of your eco-friendly goals, this combination of rug-plus-pad is an excellent choice.

If you find a book which is really useful, have a look at its bibliography. The bibliography can provide a wealth of leads to further sources of useful, relevant information on your topic.
What is WorldCat?
WorldCat represents a "collective collection" of the world's libraries. WorldCat.org lets you search the collections of libraries in your community and thousands more around the world.
What's in WorldCat?
When you search in WorldCat you'll find all of the physical items you're used to getting from libraries - books, music CDs and videos—and new kinds of digital content, such as downloadable audiobooks. You may also find article citations with links to their full text; authoritative research materials, such as documents and photos of local or historic significance; and digital versions of rare items that aren't available to the public. WorldCat libraries serve diverse communities in dozens of countries, so resources are available in many languages.
WorldCat Stats: As of August, 2018, WorldCat has 2,684,727,134 holdings and 430,388,947 bibliographic records. WorldCat gets a new record every second. As of July, 2018, the percentage of non-English records is 61% and the number of languages and dialects represented is 491.
How Can WorldCat Help Me?
You can search many libraries at once for an item and then locate it in a library nearby. A WorldCat record always lists which libraries hold any particular item, showing the libraries that are closest to you first.
What If the 'Closest Library' Holding an Item Isn't My Public Library?
If you need a book or other item for your research that's held by a library other than your own public library, you can request an Interlibrary Loan.
Search for an item in libraries near you:
Enter title, subject or author
WorldCat.org >>
What is an Interlibrary Loan?
An Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a service where a patron (user) of one library can borrow books or receive photocopies of documents that are owned by another library.
How do Interlibrary Loans work?
The patron makes a request with their local library. This local library identifies the institution that owns the desired item (probably using WorldCat!), places the request, receive the item, makes it available for the patron to pick up at their closest branch, and arranges for the return.
How long can I keep an Interlibrary Loan?
The lending library determines the loan and renewal period for the item. If you need an ILL item longer, you should contact your local library at least three business days before the due date and ask them to request an extension from the lending library.
Can anything be borrowed with an Interlibrary Loan?
Some libraries have items in reserve or reference collections that cannot be borrowed. If the item you want is owned by a library that you could visit on your own (for example, at the University of Washington) you should plan for a research visit to look at the resources you need, take notes, and make photocopies.
How long does it take to get my Interlibrary Loan item?
Plan ahead! If the lending institution agrees to loan the item you want to your local library, it could take three weeks or more before the item actually arrives at your local branch, ready for you to pick up.
How much does an Interlibrary Loan cost?
Good news! An ILL is a free service provided to library patrons. The only cost will be if the lending library charges your local library a processing fee for microfilm or copy requests.
See below for links to Interlibrary Loan request forms for regional libraries.

Google Books is a database of published books that have been scanned by Google and made available in Google search results or from the Google Books site.
You can browse books online, and...if the book is out of copyright, or the publisher has given Google permission, you'll be able to see a preview of the book, and in some cases the entire text. If it's in the public domain, you're free to download a PDF copy.
Google Books come from two sources: the Library Project (scanned books from Harvard University Library, New York Public Library and other prominent libraries) and the Partner Program. In the Partner Program, authors and publishers are able to use the Google Books site to gain wider audiences and recognition for their works.
NOTE: This cooperation in the Partner Program results in Google Books having some nonfiction titles from self-published authors that are less than credible sources for serious research. Before using a book from Google Books in your research, check to see if it's held at any public or university libraries and if it has been reviewed in any of the major publishing or library journals. If in doubt, check to see if the book is listed in WorldCat!

Q: windows store app listview update i have a listview that is binded to collection in code-behind.
so, when i add to a collection new item as follows:
collection.add(new CollectionItem());

ListView is updated, and everything works.
But then i want to sort the collection:
collection = new ObservableCollection(collection.orderBy(key));

and listview doesn`t updates.
i tried to do that as follows:
sCollection = new ObservableCollection(collection.orderBy(key));

foreach(CollectionItem item in sCollection)
{
 int oldIndex = collection.IndexOf(item);
 int newIndex sCollection.IndexOf(item);
  if (oldIndex!=newIndex))
  {
    collection.Move(oldindex,newIndex);
  }

List is updated, but it lags too much. it has around 150 elements, not more.
So, what is the best way to sort and update binded collection when new item added?

A: it lags, becouse if u want to short 150 items, then update it.
i think you can solve this if u use less of the memory or a "featherlight" code, i mean you can use a little bit harder but a better algorithm to solve the problem, or you can use many different ways like adding Thread.Sleep(10);, but is your computer a small one?
if it is, try it on an another system, good luck!

Enjoying McDonald's Around the World: My Top 4 Countries
Submitted by Nomadbehappy on Thu, 04/07/2022 - 20:56
One of my favorite traditions I've come up with while journeying around the world is eating at McDonald's. I know it seems ridiculous to eat at an American food chain in France or Japan, but hear me out!
I just came back from my 30th country. I've been able to see the world because of my nomadic lifestyle. I've been worldschooling for the past eight years, which includes eating a lot of pretty weird things—but at least I know fish sperm is edible now! Whenever I'm on the road and tired of putting effort into trying new dishes, I've found comfort and a fun time at McDonald's. It's always roughly the same familiar interior with the aroma of fries in the air.
Still, the menu also comes with a twist, something new only available in each specific country. Visiting McDonald's around the world is a tradition my mom and I have come up with together, and it feels almost nostalgic to enter somewhere I've grown up eating at, but it's also exciting and fun to try something different.
McDonald's invites the culture and flavors of each country around the world to better target their local audience. Think Toblerone Mcflurries in Switzerland or milk tea in Hong Kong. You should definitely give this fast food joint a visit the next time you're somewhere new!
I'll start off with my absolute favorite city for visiting McDonald's: Hong Kong. I think of it as my second home, and I spend a lot of time there visiting family and haunting my favorite restaurants. Whether I'm with family or friends, I somehow always make my way back to McDonald's, and it never disappoints. I love walking into the cool, air-conditioned diner for a snack after escaping the loud, crowded streets of Hong Kong. The best visits are when I go in a big group with my parents, my grandparents, and my aunt and her family. We all pull the reliable chairs around a small table, share our favorites, and try something new. Here are some of our top picks:
Macaroni & Soup (No Cheese Harmed!)
Most of the time, you can find macaroni and soup on the menu here. It's a fairly typical breakfast for people in Hong Kong, like eggs and bacon or pancakes in the States. This dish consists of smooth macaroni noodles in clear broth with an egg, some vegetables, and sometimes a piece of meat like spam. It has the same warm comfort as a chicken noodle soup. There is no cheese involved for anyone concerned about wet mac and cheese.
In terms of drinks, you can find AMAZING milk tea all over Hong Kong, and McDonald's offers it too. Milk tea is a staple drink at most cafes throughout the city. Milk tea in Hong Kong is traditionally served hot but typically consumed both warm and cold now. If you are familiar with classic bubble tea, it's like that but without tapioca. This popular drink probably gained popularity when Hong Kong was under British rule. In McDonald's, they serve it warm, which is pretty tasty, but I would recommend going to one of the small diners/cafes found on almost every street for a more authentic taste.

Ovaltine Ice Cream
The seasonal desserts at Mcdonald's are an absolute staple every time we visit, and Hong Kong does an especially spectacular job with these! OMG, you can't turn down a good McDonald's dessert in Hong Kong. They offer a variety of familiar flavors and brands tied into their desserts, which typically consist of soft-serve ice cream. I've had a pretty funky but delicious sea salt ice cream as well as Ovaltine, red bean, green tea, and other popular flavors infused into ice cream.
McDonald's in Switzerland is absolutely incredible (and incredibly expensive) and is a close second to Hong Kong's McDonald's. During my first time in Switzerland, my mom and I probably went to McDonald's around ten times in our short time there. Here's what we found:
Rosti fries…
This item drew us to McDonald's again and again. No joke, I think about these treats all the time. A rosti is a traditional Swiss dish that resembles a typical diner-style hashbrown, made of grated potatoes fried in a patty shape. I love it. As fries go, a rosti is around the size of a mozzarella stick and the thickness of a tater tot. I cannot express how good they were after walking in the freezing cold weather of Switzerland. Rosti fries made my day every day.
…Paired with McFlurries
My mom would say otherwise, but rosti fries paired with either KitKat or Ovomaltine Mcflurries was insanely good. Ovolmaltine, for anyone who doesn't know, is a malted chocolate drink made from Ovolmaltine powder and milk. In Switzerland, they also had it as a chocolate bar, which at McDonald's was one of the main ingredients in their Mcflurry, and it was delicious. I never got tired of the hot, crisp, and soft rosti fries combined with the cold sweet chocolate-y Mcflurry. Unfortunately, I recently returned to Switzerland on a day trip from France, and I immediately searched for a McDonald's, but I failed to find rosti fries.
Slovenia is one of my favorite countries, and McDonald's did offer something unique, but I wouldn't rank it near the best. Still, I'm glad I carried on the tradition of trying McDonald's while on the road.
Deep-fried shrimp
We also tried deep-fried shrimp, which, unfortunately, came out as a disappointment. I didn't really like it because I could taste the doughy crust of the rubbery shrimp. I guess there shouldn't be high-quality standards for McDonald's, but I wish the shrimp tasted better as I usually enjoy any form of shellfish.
My favorite country in the world is Japan, so of course, I have to include McDonald's there. I haven't returned in about three years, so these are items that I've researched, but if you ever get the chance, I encourage you to seek them out and try them! Let me know what you think!
Sakuramochi pie
Like Hong Kong, the Japanese McDonald's has frequently changing seasonal desserts. One of their current sweets is the sakuramochi pie! Since it is Spring, this pie reflects the well-known sakura blossoms of Japan, and it is available for a limited time only. Among other things, McDonald's has also served KitKat Strawberry Mcflurry, Cheesecake Mcflurry, and Pineapple Pie.
Japanese-American fusion
The Japanese often find American culture to be cool or hip. The McDonald's menu in Japan offers various dishes to show the Japanese's interest in America. They've served many burgers named after states of the US such as the Idaho Burger, which contains a potato patty; the Hawaiian Burger, which includes egg and gravy; the Texas Burger, which has mustard seed relish and BBQ sauce; and the California burger, with special red wine sauce.

There are 195 countries out there, so I obviously haven't covered them all, but boy, would I like to! Visiting McDonald's around the world is a lot of fun, and I encourage you to try it, too. Let me know what crazy things they offer in your next destination!

Even though we live in a throwaway society, my wife and I enjoy patching together our shack and everything inside. It is romantic holding off throwing things away because landfills have enough anyway. The refrigerator leaks a bit of water and one burner on the stove works no longer. Two wheels are gone on the bottom of the dishwasher tray and although the clothes dryer works, the outside frame is full of rust, and the motor continues to decay. We use all of our appliances to the end and for over thirty years we have lived this way.
