Works great for Pot Belly pigs The ramp is great! I'd love it more if it would stay cleaner; we use it everyday and it's hard to sweep off dirt. My pot belly pigs love that they can use the ramp to enter the house from the back door over the current steps. January 11, 2014
Works great! My dachshund uses it instead of the steps outside. He loves running up that ramp and it gives me the peace of mind that he isn't hurting his back. December 31, 2013
The ramp was delivered as indicated with no defects. It's very sturdy with grooves to prevent slipping and rubber at the ends to hold well to vehicle. It's a bit heavy and folds once, which makes it difficult to store in the vehicle since I have an SUV and my two dogs are in the back. So I have to put the ramp in the passenger seat if he's going to get out at another location. However, it's well worth it. With the discount and free shipping it was $157. My 13-year-old Golden loves the car and it was getting tougher for him to jump in and out. The ramp will last a long time and could be used for other purposes. December 25, 2013
Excellent Overall Ramp is easy for me to handle and put in place for SUV use. Wide enough for my large dog to walk up/down without a misstep. It is convenient for travel use. The ramp is relatively lightweight (box says 18.5#), and appears substantially made. Recommend you adhere to the caution posted on the ramp to watch fingers when folding the ramp. Ramp works very well for us! December 13, 2013

An Inaugural Ball Is Being Hawked on Groupon
The price of a ticket to the 'Green Inaugural Ball' was slashed Tuesday from $400 to $250.
By all accounts, the second inauguration of President Barack Obama isn't going to draw nearly the number of fans to Washington as it did the first time. And now it appears those vacancies are affecting sales of the typically much-coveted tickets to inaugural balls.
[RELATED: Hotel Sales for Inauguration Weak Compared to 2009]
Daily deal website Groupon began running a deal Tuesday for tickets to the "2013 Green Inaugural Ball," hosted by the National Wildlife Federation and intended to honor progress in the fields of conservation, clean technology, and renewable energy.
Groupon slashed the ball's general admission ticket price of $400 to $250, and the VIP ticket price of $1,950 to $1,300.
But even the daily deal site is having a hard time selling the attractiveness of the ball — at least when compared to the same event held during Obama's first inauguration. As of this publication, the site claims to have only sold more than 20. The promotion runs through Friday.
[READ: Why You Won't See Some Celebs at Inaugural Balls]
Groupon's summary for the Green Inaugural Ball boasts that in 2009, the event featured multiplatinum pop-rock band Maroon 5, former vice president and presidential candidate Al Gore and confessional singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge. This year, the only big celebrity draw appears to be Black Eyed Peas member Will.i.am, who is accompanied by washed-up 90s pop stars like Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath and the possible appearance of a few Redskins players.
The National Wildlife Federation didn't respond to request for more information about the event from Whispers. But Groupon assures buyers they can "brush elbows" with progressive politicians like Rep. Ed Markey of Massachusetts, who once refused to rise from his seat in a hearing because, knowing how Republicans felt on global warming, proclaimed "I'm worried that Republicans will overturn the law of gravity, sending us floating about the room."
One big plus: The ball is open bar, which won't be the case at the official inaugural balls that are expected to be overcrowded with those obnoxious tourists who jumped the gun on Ticketmaster.

All Sources
With ongoing proliferation of both printed and electronic materials, we are surrounded by sources. This would seem to make finding sources to use in a paper an easy matter, and it often does. The disadvantage is that not all sources are equal in quality, accuracy, and reliability. This is especially true of materials found on the Internet. Therefore, it is your responsibility to judge the value of the sources that you are discovering.
Some aspects to consider:
Use your common sense and look for clues of style, tone, and slant. Most publications (including web pages) will include the credentials of the author.
Electronic Sources
According to Rosa and Eschholz, electronic sources can be especially difficult to evaluate. There are many types of information available on the Internet. Reliable, time-tested sources such as The New York Times have their own websites, while other magazines and journals have been converted to electronic format and are available through subscription services that are commonly available through libraries. Experts in a field may also create a web page to share information. The down side to the Internet is that anyone can create a web page, so the pages are likely to be of varying reliability.
In evaluating an electronic resource, the general guidelines for evaluating all sources apply, but there are some special aspects that you can consider to help you judge the source.
Checklist for Evaluating Sources
The following list of questions can be used to help evaluate the quality of printed and electronic resources. If the answers to the questions are not clear to you, then you probably should not rely on the source that you have in hand. In all research, using a balance of print and electronic resources will help you as you evaluate the sources.

Meadows Presents "Trouble In Mind" Feb. 27 March 2
Award-winning play by Alice Childress tackles racial stereotypes
From left to right: Ginneh J. Thomas, a graduate student in theatre, plays the lead role of Wiletta Mayer; Ozioma Akagha, a sophomore, plays the role of Millie Davis; and Sky King, a senior in theatre, plays the role of Al Manners.
DALLAS (SMU) – The Division of Theatre at SMUs Meadows School of the Arts will present the play Trouble in Mind from February 27 through March 2 in the Greer Garson Theatre of the Owen Arts Center on the SMU campus.
Written in the 1950s by prominent African-American playwright, actress and novelist Alice Childress, the play revolves around the character of Wiletta Mayer, an African-American actress of a certain age who has spent her career playing stereotypes, trapped on amerry-go-round of mammies, maids and other menials.
The curtain rises on the first day of rehearsal for Chaos in Belleville, a Broadway-bound play that tackles the harsh truths of racism in America. But when those truths spill out of the play and into the rehearsal hall, will Wilettas insistence on her dignity cost her the work she desperately needs?
Trouble in Mind became a smash hit off-Broadway in 1955, making Childress the first female winner of an Obie Award for best off-Broadway play of the year, and soon a move to Broadway was announced. But when Childress refused to accommodate the producers request to brighten the ending of the play for a commercial audience, the move was cancelled. Half a century later, the time for this wise and witty play has come again.
The production is directed by Stan Wojewodski, Distinguished Professor of Directing at the Meadows School and former dean of the Yale School of Drama.
Show times are 8 p.m. Wed.-Sat. and 2 p.m. Sat. and Sun. Tickets are $13 for adults, $10 for seniors and $7 for SMU students, faculty and staff. Parking is available at Hillcrest and Binkley and in the garage beneath the Meadows Museum.
For more information, call the Meadows Ticket Office at 214.768.2787 or visit the Meadows Web site at meadows.smu.edu.

Community playground
Goffstown community turns out for playground-building
For three days, YMCA staff and volunteers removed an old metal slide and jungle gym, a volleyball net and four concrete pads, and turned it into a new accessible playground for YMCA members and residents of Goffstown, Manchester, Bedford, Dunbarton, Weare and New Boston. The work began Oct. 10 and ended Saturday, Oct. 12, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
In November, the YMCA received a $15,000 challenge grant from Kaboom to encourage community donations for the playground project. The staff needed to raise $25,000 and so far has raised $15,000. Fundraising by the gymnastics team, the Schools Out program and donations from local businesses and surrounding communities provided the money to build the playground, said Gail Houle, a member of the YMCA advisory board.
Among the volunteers were several Goffstown High School students and two alumni who wanted to do community service in memory of Cory Houston, a fellow student who died April 28, 2012, in a tree-cutting accident.
Corey's parents, Kris and Jeff Houston, were on hand at the playground on build day to welcome the student volunteers.
At the ribbon-cutting, Houle and Ewing thanked the volunteers and supporters.
"The YMCA is about building relationships and moving forward. Our children of all ages have an opportunity to play together," said Houle. "We have a place where people can come together without barriers."
The YMCA staff wishes to thank its community donors, Langley Construction, The Rynearson Company, Urella's Landscaping and Irrigation, SD Cookman Building and Remodeling, Walton Demolition, Pike Industries, Home Depot, Lowe's and Kohl's Associates in Action. Meals were provided by The Bagged Lunch, Sweet T's, High Street Farmhouse, The Village Trestle, Two Friends Cafe, Grand Slam Pizza 2, Just Like Mom's Pastries, Dunkin' Donuts, McDonald's and Coca-Cola.

RnRMarketResearch.com offers 2019 forecasts for seed treatment market and insecticides industry in new research reports available under agricultural chemicals category of its library. Published in July 2014, these business intelligence reports provide global trends information and analysis on seed treatment as well as insecticides market.
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) July 05, 2014
Global seed treatment market is projected to record a CAGR of 10.6% from 2014 to 2019. The estimation is a result of regular research & development in the industry, with increase in application of seed treatment in different industries. Seed treatment chemicals dominate the market in terms of value and market awareness of new target crops such as alfalfa and canola. The global insecticides market is flourishing due to the increasing pressure of meeting the food requirement of the ever-increasing population and the reducing size of arable land. The insecticides market is projected to reach a value of $16,436 million by 2019.
The report titled "Seed Treatment Market by Type (Chemical & Non-Chemical), by Application (Fungicide, Insecticide, Bio-Control, and Others) and by Crop (Cereals, Oilseeds, and Others) Global Trends, Forecasts and Technical Insights up to 2019" (http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/seed-treatment-market-trends-global-forecasts-2011-2016-market-report.html ) says, with a huge market potential and growing preference for seed treatment, the market is likely to witness considerable growth in the years to come. In 2013, corn acquired the largest share as a target crop; however, the market for soybean is projected to grow at the highest rate.
Factors such as cost, ease of application, innovative production practices, new product offerings, increased availability, and an advent of new pests are increasing the market for seed treatment industry, globally. Corn, soybean, and cereal crops are the major crops behind the current seed treatment market growth; however, there is a rising trend for the use of seed treatments on vegetables, rice, sugar beet, cotton, and oilseed crops. All the functions of seed treatment have been considered for this study and the market has been segmented and distributed based on the same.

Farmers want to reduce their losses in order to increase crop yield and increase profitability. Insecticides help to kill and inhibit the growth of insects that adversely affect crops, while being totally harmless to non-target organisms. These benefits of insecticides are driving their demand in the agrochemical industry. Organophosphorus compounds, pyrethroids, and neonicotinoids are amino acids, of which organophosphorus compounds are the most dominant insecticides.
The report titled "Insecticides Market by Type [Organophosphorus Compounds, Pyrethroids, Neonicotinoidsn Methyl Carbamate, and Others (Macrocyclic Lactones, Phenylpyrazoles, and Benzoylureas)], by Crop Type (Cereals & Grains, Oilseeds & Pulses, Fruits & Vegetables, and Others), & Geography Global Trends and Forecasts to 2019" (http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/insecticides-market-by-type-organophosphorus-compounds-pyrethroids-neonicotinoidsn-methyl-carbamate-and-others-macrocyclic-lactones-phenylpyrazoles-and-benzoylureas-by-crop-type-cereals-g-market-report.html ) analyzes the market with respect to the main geographical regions. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the insecticides market. The insecticides market is categorized by type, by crop type, and geography.
Rise in global food consumption and huge demand in regions with tropical climate are the major drivers of global insecticides market.

News Article
I've seen all sorts of strange mashups before, but this is probably the strangest. But it's not really a mashup; it's a frighteningly astute observation of the parallels between Pixar's Toy Story films and our favorite zombie TV show, The Walking Dead. Redditor John Wray has dissected the similarities between the two distinct properties and discovers they are not that distinct after all.
And the similarities get creepier from there. Check out the entire gallery at Imgur.

Monthly Mingle: Heirloom (Roundup)
September 22, 2009 | 23 Comments
Check out the eighteen fantastic culinary heirlooms sent to our inbox for this month's for Monthly Mingle.
We thank Meeta for the opportunity to host, and the participants for your enthusiastic response. If we have missed any entries, we apologise. Please let us know through the contact form.
Baked Heirloom Squash with Brown Sugar and Butter @ Eats Well With Others
"Delicata squash is an heirloom squash, meaning that it is a cultivar that was commonly grown during early periods of human history, but which is not used in modern large-scale agriculture. Thus, they are grown for flavor and not for their ability to be mass-produced and shipped thousands upon thousands of miles away."
Ginger Fluff Sponge Cake @ Green Gourmet Giraffe
"A sponge cake in my childhood was always two layers sandwiched together with whipped cream or lemon filling, iced with white or pink icing that dripped over the sides and often decorated with a ring of hundreds and thousands around the edge. Little kiddie fingers would scoop up the dribbles of icing."
fearlesskitchen lentil pie @ FearlessKitchen
"What's so "heirloom" about a lentil pie? Well, the recipe was first published in 1570. That's pretty heirloom to me, since it predates the town I live in by about 70 years!"
I left my heart in Dalmatia @ Dalmacija Down Under
"A bukara is a wooden drinking vessel from Dalmatia. It's a part of every konoba (wine cellar). But a konoba isn't just an ordinary wine cellar. It is the heart of almost every old Dalmatian house. It is a gathering place for celebrating life with a traditional klape song sharing good food and wine. A bukara full of wine is passed around the table while whole fish are grilled on gradele on an open hearth at the back of the cellar. The smell of oak barrels, smoke and fish is warm and so inviting and centuries old stones feel pleasantly cold during warm summer nights. It's about more than just the wine and food. It's about sharing good times with good friends."
Classic Ratatouille @ Health Nut
"A really good ratatouille is not one of the quicker dishes to make,as each element is cooked separately before it is arranged in the casserole to partake of a brief communal simmer.This recipe is the only one we know of which produces a ratatouille in which each vegetable retains its own shape and character." ~ Julia Child
Flan al tequila @ aromasysabores
My Mom pulled me to the kitchen, closed the door and trying to lower her voice, said to me in that lovely tone of voice that only Mothers can have:
"Why in God's name did you tell him about my flan? It's been years I have prepared one!. I don't even remember how to make it, and Regis is a PASTRY CHEF!. Do you want to put your mother in ridiculo?"
Cherry Whiz Salsa made with Heirloom Tomatoes @ Big Black Dog
"Now I am not much for hot, spicy food but the Cherry Whiz Salsa has such a nice blend of sweet and spicy that I can't seem to get enough of it. And in the winter when we have two foot of snow on the ground, it tastes especially good."
Kesar Di Kheer @ What's For Lunch, Honey?
"It's become a joke in my family. A few years later we did tell them what really happened on that day and now my mum will tease Tom and say 'Come Tom I have made some kheer for you!' "
Well played! @ Purplesque's Vox
"At my wedding, my parents gifted me a miniature tabla pair, hand crafted from heavy silver. They gave my sister a similar pair, and the drums are now a treasured family heirloom. After coming to the US, they were the first thing I sent for.
I use them to keep cardamom and fennel seeds on the table, as a time-honored after-dinner Indian tradition."
Nostalgia @ Soulful Creations
"We would gather around the bowl (did not use a dining table back then) extending our hands with pleasure. My grandma (or ma) would keep the small ball of rice in our palms and top it with some of the spicy curry. I remember how hard it was to make my sister and I eat any food (we were really poor eaters) but this trick of feeding us worked every time!"
Neiyappam @ My Diverse Kitchen
"Give the neiyappam a chance and you will discover that the unattractive crusty exterior hides a delightfully soft and spongy cardamom flavoured interior dotted with thin coconut slivers. On a personal note, neiyappam is not one of my favourites and yet I am recommending it here because I have so far never met anyone else who doesn't like them.
In fact, I mostly have always witnessed scenes where everyone is fighting to get the last few ones left in the tin!"
Sandesh – The bearer of sweet memories @ eCurry
"… memories of festivals & special occasions, of pots of milk boiled, of big brass plates where the "Sandesh" were neatly arranged while we tucked ourselves, sat on the floor & looked in awe as they got magically moulded with experienced fingers, of giggles & laughter & happiness & mouthful of homemade Sandesh melting away smoothly while the little palms stretched asking for more – typical scene in every home."
Ragi Drumstick Leaves Adai @ Home Cook's Recipes
"I remember my grandmom preparing this for an evening snack, and we would be served this adai very hot with stone ground coconut chutney. It used to taste great, as my grandmom used lots of oil to prepare this adai."
Creamy Meyer Lemon-Orange 'Butter' @ Figs With Bri
"This FigsWithBri.com blog ~ a NEW 'heirloom' birthed two years ago ~ but a deeply valued possession of ours and of her readers, ie. "part of an estate — not an outright gift from one person to another…an "impending" item…passed from one generation to another…characterized by excellence and enduring appeal." FWB is Briana's legacy. Her gift to each one of us."
murukku mums recipe @ Malaysian Delicacies
"This is a secret recipe from my mum which I am sharing with all of you. This murukku is slightly tedious to prepare … You cannot use the rice flour sold in the supermarkets but must have homemade rice flour. Yup, remember tasty things don't come easy."
Vartha Malli Podi (Roasted Coriander Powder) @ my comfort food network>
"Since I got married, the one thing that I always bring along with me from Calicut is the vartha (roasted) malli (coriander) podi (powder). I remember my mother doing the same when she was living in Mumbai when we were little. The roasted coriander powder is a mix of many spices and not just coriander seeds roasted."
Devil's Fart Sandwich @ Jugalbandi
"A simple truly scrumptious meal where home-made Bavarian Pumpernickel bread meets organic artisanal cheese and some garden veggies – that's how our ancestors ate."
The WINNER of this month's Monthly Mingle prize is
monthly mingle @ feeding maybelle
"For him, food was the center of life; lunch was a hobby and a holiday.
Plans for these lunches began early in the morning. As a child, when jet lag cruelly awoke me with a start in the pitchdark early morning, I would wait for the hall light to turn on. Then I would crawl out of bed and look for my grandparents. My grandfather would instruct quick preparations of warm Bournvita and grilled butter-fried bread for "the child" and then he would sit down to the vegetables."

What a beautiful round up of equally beautiful entries.Wish I could have joined in…the deadline just slipped my mind

This is a truly wonderful round up! Congrats to the winner.
Unique Event, you have presented the roundup beautifully!
Glad being part of it!
Congrats! to Maybelle's Mom. Looking forward to reading everyone's tributes.
Bee ~ The Monthly Mingle specifically referred to heirloom recipes. But your definition was broader, so I went with that.
Wish I DID have some of my grandmothers' superb recipes.
When you're a kid, you don't think of asking for copies of recipes!!! They both specialized in desserts, which we eat rarely. If I had dessert eaters around and I'd make some of my Mom's hand-me-down recipes. But I don't dare have that sort of tastiness in the house without others to eat it.
Meeta ~ Thanks for your kind comments. Participating in your Monthly Mingle was FUN and a "branching out" for me…having taken on the FWB mantle, not by plan…but by circumstance. Realized your contest emphasis was on heirloom recipes & I was focused on other sorts of heirlooms in this post. Citrus has been candied for generations before my birth…so the recipe still qualifies as an heirloom of sorts.
Oh wow! I am so touched by this event..!I feel like ive just been to see an amazing nostalgic movie in the theatre..
What a beautiful idea for an event,I seemed to have missed this..such a wonderful new way of exploring personal tales and experiences.
This roundup certainly shows us an amazing array of colorful emotional experiences,thank you so much for this!
Nice theme. Each story will have a interesting story behind it.
It was indeed such a nice theme that we, all the people involved on the making of a post enjoyed so much.
Thanks to you and Meeta for hosting such a wonderful event, looking forward to participate on next months Monthly Mingle.
Such a lovely theme and in keeping with the many responses indicating how others wished they could have been part of the experience, obviously presented in what is a very inviting way.
That is, after all is said and done, an heirloom itself of this blog and her authors….that consistent welcoming, the invitation to enter in the joy found in what they are doing.
Reading the entries with a cup of hot tea or coffee (or two!) will be just the ticket to while away a chilly rainy morning.
Lovely post. I really enjoyed reading it
My favorite round-up ever. Congratulations, Maybelle's mom!
Wonderful round up!..
Wow…you simply inspire bloggers to send in their best….it was such a pleasure reading this post…cheers!
