The "prime rate" or "prime interest rate" is the interest rate that historically was the low rate banks would offer to their most credit-worthy customers. However, this is not the case today. The term "prime rate" is generic but usually refers to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, which the paper posts daily.
The rate varies little among major banks; adjustments are generally made by banks at the same time — when the Federal Reserve Bank changes the Fed Funds Target Rate. The last time the prime rate was adjusted was two years ago, when it dropped from 4 percent to 3.25 percent. 2010 rates are notably historic given that the prime rate hasn't been this low since Aug. 4, 1955 (55 years ago).
This current rate of 3.25 percent, in the United States, runs approximately 300 basis points (3 percent) above the federal funds rate, which is the interest rate that banks charge each other for overnight loans made to fulfill reserve funding requirements.
The prime rate is used often as an index in calculating rate changes to adjustable rate mortgages (ARM) and other variable rate short-term loans.
It is also used in the calculation of some private student loans. Many credit cards and home equity lines of credit with variable interest rates have their rate specified as the prime rate (the so-called index) plus a fixed value commonly called the spread or margin.
The significance of the prime rate is important since it is often used as an index by lenders for the rates they use to lend to their borrowers. Adjustments to this rate affect many parties. For example, the holder of an adjustable-rate mortgage or a home equity credit line pegged to the prime rate will pay more as the prime rate moves up and less as it moves down.

Surrounded by the laughter of little ones running through a sprinkler, and the drops of sunlight making rainbows in the mist, is the aroma of barbecue. Glowing charcoal embers under a metal rack can form the apex to a perfect summer day. Burgers, hotdogs, corn, and kabobs can tie together a gathering and sear the juicy happiness into the day. Whether in the backyard or at a summer festival, the grill has become the hallmark of the season.
Barbecue aficionado Robert Dempsey, president of Fay's Pork Chop Bar-B-Que, knows a thing or two about grilling. Fay's has been a family business for 53 years and takes it pretty seriously, producing 50, 100, 500 or 1,000 meals at a given event. Catering to charity fundraisers and the regulars at suburban festivals and fairs for decades, Fay's is a committed charcoal enthusiast, the choice for the company's famous pork chops since the business began.
"We have been grilling over charcoal for 53 years. I would not consider gas - except for hamburgers or hot dogs. The flavor is just not the same."
The difference is in the smoke produced by the charcoal and the length of time foods spend on the grill. Foods like hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken don't spend as much time as steaks, pork chops and potatoes. As a result, people are hard pressed to decipher a flavor difference in hot dogs (for example) cooked on either a charcoal or gas grill. Foods that cook longer are granted the opportunity to absorb the smoke and really deliver a distinct flavor punch. It's possible to get some smoke with a gas grill by utilizing soaked woodchips, but some people argue that the smoke production is negligible. Regardless of the actual flavor difference between cooking on certain grills, many people simply prefer charcoal because its rustic roots help it feel more authentic.
Another common dilemma at the grill – to sauce, or not to sauce? Dempsey says he prefers a spice rub, and indeed the Fay's flavor has become almost legendary across Illinois.
"We grill primarily pork chops and quarters of chicken - using only a powdered spice rub which we apply in batches of 35 in a tumbling drum to 'massage' it in. It then sits until we need it."
If you, like most folks, don't have the tumbling drum out on the patio, don't despair. The average griller can get similar results by placing the meat on a cookie sheet, sprinkling on the spice, and then rubbing it in gently on both sides.
"Let it sit while you build the fire and get the grill hot – 15 to 20 minutes," he says. "The salt in the spice will pull some moisture from the meat and now appear as a juicy paste on the surface. Place the meat on the grill at medium heat. Warm each side twice for 30 seconds to move the flavor into the meat. Now you are ready to grill.
Dempsey recommends turning the meat every 3 to 5 minutes so keep the whole piece moist and delicious.
"If grill is too hot, or meat is not turned soon enough, the meat will dry out and be hard to eat," he advises.
Dempsey weighed in on grilling vegetables, "The only vegies we grill are as kabobs. I drill a small hole in carrots and potatoes if they keep splitting."
Now that your main course is cooking, it's time to get started on the sides, and nothing meets with meat like kabobs. A fun way to cook many bite-sized pieces of vegetables all at once, a kabob allows you to skewer nearly anything you want: pineapple, onion, bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms and squash are some examples. They can be marinated and grilled just like meats.
Off the kabob, potatoes and green beans can be wrapped in tin foil packets with butter and herbs and set on the grill beside the meat. The seasonings will saturate the veggies and it will be a delicious side to more traditional grilled foods," he says.

Tis the season of Christmas music and if you live somewhere on the East, chances are a few radio stations in your area have decided to blare nonstop, 24/7 Christmas music since Thanksgiving week. This is the first time this has happened in my area. Usually, they'll play a mix of whatever format the station specializes in with a few Christmas songs, until December 24th, when they go to all Christmas music. This year four stations that I regulary listen to (two in Buffalo, two in Toronto) have gone all Christmas, all month long for the first time.
Anyway, those who love Christmas music have their traditional favorites (mine are "O Holy Night, Ave Maria, The First Noel, and Do You Hear What I Hear?") among the hundreds of traditional Christmas songs.
The versions of these songs and others, that I must absolutely blast whenever I hear on the radio are:
"O Holy Night" by Perry Como or Johnny Mathis
"Sleigh Ride" by The Boston Pops or The Ronettes
"Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" by Bruce Springsteen
"Adeste Fideles" by Luciano Pavrotti
Some of my favorite nontraditional songs are:
"Someday at Christmas" by Stevie Wonder
"Last Christmas" by Wham!
"Happy Christmas" by John Lennon
"It's a Marshmellow World" by The Ronettes
"The Little St. Nick" by The Beach Boys
"Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney & Wings
What are your favorites?


text: I think the show did an excellent job of revealing "possible" hits during the sniper scene. While I didn't have much of a connection to whom was shot, the way the reminiscing went was also done excellently. I wonder if that will be the end of this story arc. Really good episode.

I think we've got a solid qb taking his place.
quote:there was none last night
I saw a coaching gap.
there was none last night
Daisy pumping ZM. Consider this... something is seriously wrong with ZM, not just physically or psychologically but with his relationship with the team. Last year he was physically isolated in a phone booth and communicated with no one on the bench. This year I've never ever seen him talk or communicate with his offensive line. And then he shows them up with theatrics? .. essentially pointing the finger while giving no kudos.
it's pretty fricking obvious that LSU's defensive underclassmen saw that nothing had changed in ZMs first year under center and said "screw this, I'm not going through another year of college ball for this" and bolted before Cameron could revamp the offense.

Monastery Kitchen Restaurant
Zhenski Pasr or Women's Market
I was kind of hoping that I would be able to get onto my blog tonight since this place has wifi and a computer for internet - neither of which worked for me. I am so tired that it is just as well except that I could have written this online rather than in Wordpad.
I am in Sofia - accent on the first syllable contrary to what I have always used. The flights were not very memorable. I didn't have much time for my connection in Dulles. The United agent was very sweet and gave me a window seat to Frankfort. The plane was almost empty - well, there were maybe 2 out of 3 seats filled so I had extra room and it felt as if I had extra leg room too. It was 7 am when we landed in Frankfort and I had a bit of trouble getting to my gate since it was moved twice and not on the departure board when I looked. The flight was short but we got a sandwich for mid-morning snack or early lunch
There was no trauma on my arrival in Bulgaria and I left the airport by taxi - recommended by Tourist Info as the best way into the city - in warm, sunshiny weather. My minor trauma came as I checked into Scotty's Boutique Hotel. When I reserved my extra days, I had put april 25th as my arrival and since I didn't arrive on the 25th, they cancelled my reservation and only had one of the two days available. The desk clerk kept telling me I should have called when I changed my plans. I hadn't really changed my plans - I just hadn't realized that I was arriving a day after I left the US when I made the reservation. I was duly chastised but she somehow figured out a way for me to have a room until I join the group and she is hoping that I can have the single on the first day of the group stay. We'll see. Scotty's is pretty basic, but light and it has a refrigerator stocked with all sorts of stuff - so much that it is hard to fit in my extra food
After sorting out the room and booking a trip to Rila Monastery for Saturday, I set out for a little sightseeing. First I went right to the market at the end of the street that the desk clerk mentioned: Zhenski Pazr, or Women's Market. Frommer's says "it's a great place to wander and pickup a bag of sweet cherries or a freshly baked banitsa (traditional Bulgarian pastry), but do watch your valuables." It was nice but I felt self-conscious taking photos and didn't see anything I wanted to buy except maybe for some strawberries but I passed on those for now. I was really thirsty and didn't see anything to drink until after I had left the market.
I then wandered over to the city center with all its monumental buildings for government and the arts, churches and mosques. A synagogue is almost across the street from the hotel but I had just missed it since it closed at 4. How did it get to be 4 pm already? I took a few photos of some places that I had been to last year and then headed out to the Monastery Kitchen restaurant that some of us went to last year and enjoyed so much. I ordered a salad and shashlik but the shashlik was accompanied by most everything that was in my salad except for the wonderful stuffed peppers. I took a photo of them of course. My waiter spoke English and tried to be helpful. I asked him how to say thank you in Bulgarian but I had a lot of trouble with the pronunciation - he even spelled it in our alphabet for me: blagodhia. I paid by credit card and tipped in cash but was sorry that I didn't have more small stuff to give him.
On my way back from dinner, I ran into the Russian Orthodox Church and took a few photos of the sun shining on the cupolas but nothing spectacular

Did you ever play fast-pitch softball? If you did, then you probably have some idea of how fast the pitcher throws the ball. For a female athlete like the one in the opening image, the ball may reach a speed of 120 km/h (about 75 mi/h). For a male athlete, the ball may travel even faster. A fast-pitch pitcher uses a "windmill" motion to throw the ball. This is a different technique than other softball pitches, and it explains why the ball travels so fast.
Introducing Speed
How fast or slow something moves is its speed. Speed determines how far something travels in a given amount of time. The SI unit for speed is meters per second (m/s). Speed may be constant, but often it varies from moment to moment.
Average Speed
Even if speed varies during the course of a trip, it's easy to calculate the average speed by using this formula:
For example, assume you go on a car trip with your family. The total distance you travel is 120 miles, and it takes 3 hours to travel that far. The average speed for the trip is:
Q: Terri rode her bike very slowly to the top of a big hill. Then she coasted back down the hill at a much faster speed. The distance from the bottom to the top of the hill is 3 kilometers. It took Terri ¼ hour to make the round trip. What was her average speed for the entire trip? (Hint: The round-trip distance is 6 km.)
A: Terri's speed can be calculated as follows:
Instantaneous Speed
When you travel by car, you usually don't move at a constant speed. Instead you go faster or slower depending on speed limits, traffic lights, the number of vehicles on the road, and other factors. For example, you might travel 65 miles per hour on a highway but only 20 miles per hour on a city street (see the pictures in the Figure below.) You might come to a complete stop at traffic lights, slow down as you turn corners, and speed up to pass other cars. Therefore, your speed at any given instant, or your instantaneous speed, may be very different than your speed at other times. Instantaneous speed is much more difficult to calculate than average speed.
Cars race by in a blur of motion on an open highway but crawl at a snail's pace when they hit city traffic.
Calculating Distance or Time from Speed
If you know the average speed of a moving object, you can calculate the distance it will travel in a given period of time or the time it will take to travel a given distance. To calculate distance from speed and time, use this version of the average speed formula given above:
distance = speed × time
For example, if a car travels at an average speed of 60 km/h for 5 hours, then the distance it travels is:
distance = 60 km/h × 5 h = 300 km
To calculate time from speed and distance, use this version of the formula:
Q: If you walk 6 km at an average speed of 3 km/h, how much time does it take?
A: Use the formula for time as follows:
- How fast or slow something moves is its speed. The SI unit for speed is meters per second (m/s).
- Average speed is calculated with this formula:
- Speed may be constant, but often it varies from moment to moment. Speed at any given instant is called instantaneous speed. It is much more difficult to calculate than average speed.
- Distance or time can be calculated by solving the average speed formula for distance or time.
- What is speed?
- If you walk 3 kilometers in 30 minutes, what is your average speed in kilometers per hour?
- Compare and contrast instantaneous and average speed.
- What distance will a truck travel in 3 hours at an average speed of 50 miles per hour?

The apostrophe is used most commonly to show possession, as in "Mary's bike" or "the students' poems." For a singular noun, always add 's. An easy way to remember whether to add 's or just ' to a plural noun is to look at the end of the word. If there is already an S present, you do not need to add another:
I met my friend's wife yesterday. (one friend)
I met my friends' wives yesterday. (more than one friend)
The boy's dog is huge. (one boy)
The boys' dog is huge. (more than one boy)
She fought for the woman's rights. (one woman)
She fought for women's rights. (more than one woman, but the plural word does not already end in S. Similar plural nouns are "men" and "children.")
Marcus' car is in the shop. (the name ends in S; there is no reason to add another)
Marcus's car is in the shop. (this usage is gaining popularity, but the added S is still unnecessary)
There is one exception to the above rules:
Its teeth were sharp. (this is the possessive form)
It's a horrible sight! (this form is a contraction of IT IS, and is never used as a possessive)
Its' (does not exist!)
Of course, there's always the problem of their/there/they're:
Their parents were gone all night. (possessive)
There were 100 people there. ("there" indicates a place, or with the verb "to be" to indicate existence)
They're in big trouble now! (this form is a contraction of THEY ARE)
The apostrophe can also be used to form a contraction of two words, as seen in the above examples. The apostrophe can take the place of ONE or TWO letters:
I am --> I'm
Do not --> don't
She will --> she'll
When making proper names plural, the apostrophe is never used:
The Smiths live here.
The Smith's live here.
The apostrophe can, however, be used to make letters and numbers plural:
Norman got all A's on his report card.
We studied the early 1900's today.
ONE comma is used to separate ideas within a sentence. TWO commas are used
to set off ideas; you should be able to remove what is between the commas and
still have a complete sentence that makes sense.
ONE comma is used:
- Between items in a list:
Don't forget to pick up bread, cheese, steaks, and milk. (4 items)
Don't forget to pick up bread, cheese steaks, and milk. (3 items)
- Between adjectives:
She wore a beautiful, luminous, extravagant wedding gown.
- Between independent clauses (meaning they can each stand as separate
sentences) joined by a conjunction:
Jim forgot to empty the garbage, and his mother wasn't happy about it.
I called three times, but no one was home.
Betty didn't make the cheerleading team, nor did she really want to.
- To introduce material separate from the subject:
After eating, we played ball at the park.
In my opinion, the world can do without corn dogs.
If you kids don't stop fighting, I'll turn this car around right now!
TWO commas are used:
- When addressing people by name:
Let's eat Grandma before it gets too late. (run, granny, run!!)
Let's eat, Grandma, before it gets too late.
- To identify or define:
Carol, my secretary, joined me for lunch yesterday.
We tried Bingles, the new restaurant next door to our office, for a quick bite.
- When interrupting the sentence:
Carlos Santana is, in my opinion, a great artist.
He can't compare, however, to Jimi Hendrix.
- To set off unnecessary material:
Tara's mother, who is a wonderful cook, baked brownies for our club.
Note: Do not set off necessary material:
Women who are pregnant should not smoke.
To avoid comma splices (joining two complete sentences with a comma) and run-on sentences (not using punctuation to join parts of a sentence), the semicolon can be useful. Simply put, the semicolon joins two complete sentences that are closely related.
|Comma splice:
|I don't like the circus, the clowns scare me.
|I don't like the circus the clowns scare me.
|I don't like the circus; the clowns scare me.

For centuries, Europe was a hornet's nest - one
poke at it and everyone got stung. Our ancestors
were in the thick of it. They were the ones who suffered
through the constant upheavals that tore Europe apart.
While the history books tell the broad story, they
can't begin to tell the individual stories of all
those who lived through those tough times. And often-times,
the people at the local level had no clue as to the
reasons for the turmoil nor how to get away from
it. People in the 18th century were duped just as
we were in 1940 when we were promised a place in
the Fatherland to call home.
My ancestor Konrad Link went with his parents from
South Germany to East Prussia"Poland in 1781.
Poland as a nation had been squeezed out of existence
by Austria, Russia and Prussia. The area to which
the Link family migrated was then considered part
of their homeland - Germany. At that time, most of
northern Germany was called Prussia. The river Weichsel "Vitsula" divided
the newly enlarged region of Prussia into West Prussia
and East Prussia. The Prussian Kaiser followed the
plan of bringing new settlers into the territory
to create a culture and society that would be more
productive and successful. The plan worked well for
some time. Then Napoleon began marching against his
neighbors with the goal of controlling all of Europe.
His forces arrived in Prussia and, fearing the Kaiser,
Napoleon drew the Prussians into a situation that
was to the German's disadvantage. Napoleon won this
important battle. The Polish people rose in support
of Napoleon and got their land back. Only a small
remnant of the area, east of what was now called
Poland, remained as East Prussia under German control.
The Prussian plan for the area now known as Poland
came to an end. The German settlers that had been
brought in by the Kaiser suddenly lost all of their
rights. Left without Prussian support, they were
quickly driven off their settlement land. Unwanted
in Poland, many German settlers moved on to Russia.
This is what my Link ancestors experienced. While
in Prussia, the settlers had worked hard to build
homes, schools and cultural centers. Their work left
a memorable trace on the land and the culture of
the area. They had lived in Prussia for generations,
and when they were pushed out of their settlement
areas their life work did not pass unnoticed.
But Germany was not done with Poland. The reprieve
ended in 1939 when Germany attacked Poland to re-establish
a land bridge with the cut-off area still known as
East Prussia. History was about to repeat itself.
Again, my family would feel the effects of a conflict
not of their making.
When we left Bessarabia in 1940 on the Trek back
to Europe, it was not Poland, nor Prussia, that lured
us but rather a united Germany. As "Auslandsdeutsche" -
Germans living in foreign lands - we were brought
to the area to again open up West Prussia for Germany.
My ancestor Konrad Link came to the area voluntarily,
not understanding the politics. My parents left Soviet-occupied
Bessarabia for what they thought was freedom to start
a new life, not knowing they were pawns of a Nationlistic
regime to "free Poland for Germany." In
1941 my parents were resettled in Poland, near a
small town in the new West Prussia called Suchenheim
- "Suchary." The farm and house assigned
to us had a furnace covered in tiles that were decorated
with German-language slogans. Similar decorations
were found in other houses nearby. One day, my dad
was making repairs in the front room of our house
when he found some old news-print behind a wooden
frame - it was in the German language. My Mom later
told me that it was very old. Dad took the piece
of news-print and gave it to the local authorities.
We thought nothing of it - this was Germany in our
minds. As we would visit parks and cemeteries in
the area, we noticed cast iron benches and gates
that had German-language inscriptions and insignias
on them. At the time, we gave this no further thought
because our knowledge of the history of this area
was limited.
Again the Polish people worked against the German
occupiers, Germany got beaten in the war, and Poland
got its land back. We got the boot and were sent
back to Germany - again we were unwanted. When we
later read about the history of the area, we wondered
if we had been where our ancestors might have previous
lived. Perhaps the Link family once settled in the
same district, the same town, perhaps even in the
same house we lived in! Who knows? My Link ancestors
did not know what they were getting into, neither
did my parents. Now we know. History has taught us
a valuable lesson.
The shadows of our history remain with us - and
we were the ones swinging the brush.

Shares of financial software titans Intuit (INTU) are off 65 cents, or 0.9%, at $72.51, after the company this afternoon reported fiscal Q1 revenue and a net loss per share that topped analysts' expectations, but offered a lower-than-expected revenue and profit view for the current quarter.
Revenue in the three months ended in October rose 11%, year over year, to $622 million, yielding a net loss of 6 cents per share.
Analysts had been modeling $603 million and a 10-cent loss.
CEO Brad Smith remarked that the company was "We are out of the gate strong" and that the company's move to being a cloud computing software provider was picking up speed.
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue in a range of $890 million to $910 million, and earnings per share of 25 cents to 27 cents. That compares to the average estimate for $922 million in revenue and 32 cents profit per share.
For the full year, the company sees revenue in a range of $4.44 billion to $4.53 billion, and EPS of $3.52 to $3.60. That compares to the average estimate of $4.49 billion and $3.56 per share.

To swpatryhunter, Dank and all,
It's Thursday and I've had time to access last weekend's events.
We hit climbed above the bird and moved in to about 75 yds. He didn't gobble until just a 1/2 hr before sunrise this time - but when he did there was no mistaking this was the same bird. Light tree calls affirmed his desire.
He moved off the limb. I called with my best Gobble - He jumped all over me in responce - AND WENT SILENT. I expected him to come in and had set my jake so that it would be seen first. After about a half hour + we heard him far below us (200' down, 250 yds out and 60' below his roost) in the area where the Jake had spooked the week before. He now was with hens and for the next hour I heard him move steadily towards and through the previous set-up location.
getting ahead of this bird would have require "Scotty to Beam me there" as the cover through the woods is sparce.
As the Boss moved away, the woods became alive with gobbles behind him. As the day progressed we did see a single hen making her way to a ridge top from the "service" direction. She accosted us with her clucking as she went by.
Here is what my buddy and I think may have happened - This bird is the bully of the woods, and last week I messed with his routine. By setting up where we did, The Boss was able to "complete his rounds". We suspect he met several hens as he moved through his zone. The other toms simply wait until he is out of the way before sounding off. All of the other Gobbles we heard were pretty far off.
This weeks plan - Move in - Shut up - Let him come NO DECOYS, NO GOBBLES. We plan to buddy hunt - set the caller significantly back in the direction of travel and call only if he hangs up.
This bird needs to be taken out (for the good of the woods, of course!)
- any thoughts (sarcastic or otherwise) will be considered.
The area we hunt is BIG. Geography dictates where the bird will go we know, but after seeing the hen move through 350' of elevation change in pretty good time, I hope not to be wrong again!

Well, the word is out: Eazel has (effectively) closed its doors. Although I'm sad that Eazel is gone, the finality of it all is quite releaving. The last two months have been zombie-like, with the spirit broken but no real finality. I'm sad that such an incredible team is going to be scattered to the wind, and that some of them I may not see again. I am happy, however, that Nautilus 1.0 is done and that it will live on. This actually makes it the most successful software project I've worked on professionally.
Oh yeah, if you have the ammonite module installed on your system, you can probably remove it now.
I should record some thoughts about Eazel, GNOME, and free software, but that will have to wait.
I moved in with eskil, yakk and jsh in the Castro district of San Francisco this weekend. Previously, I had been living in the southern part of the city, near City College. I've never lived in the center of a city before, and I'm in love with it already.
I finally committed the additions to gnome-vfs that I've been working on, on and off, for the last month. The changes include a callback mechanism and other plumbing, and basic and proxy authentication for the HTTP module. I have a corresponding change to Nautilus to add an authentication dialog, but I have not committed that yet.
I've accepted a job at Danger Research, which I'm quite excited about. Perhaps some other ex-Eazelites will come on there as well, which would be really awesome.

Will radiation from Fukushima harm distant seafood consumers?
Posted On January 15, 2014 by Carmen Yeung
I've been receiving questions from concerned friends and family about how radiation from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant is affecting the marine environment and human seafood consumption. As ocean lovers, I'm sure you're equally concerned. After reading different scientific articles and speaking with experts, I found that there are local impacts from radiation to humans and marine life around Fukushima – but impacts from radiation on the rest of the Pacific Ocean are not expected to be harmful to human consumers and marine animals.

OHA 2011-2013 Reduction Options
Along with their Agency Request Budget (ARB) it is required by law [ORS 291.216 (12)] that state agencies include a list of budget reduction options equaling 10% of their General Fund expenditures.
As the state of Oregon grapples with an ongoing budget crisis, the Governor has asked all agencies to submit a list of budget reductions equivalent to 25 percent of the General Fund (GF) dollars in the Current Service Level (CSL) budget for the 2011-2013 biennium. (The Current Service Level budget is the projected cost to continue the current Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Department of Human Services (DHS) programs and services in 2011-13, including program caseload growth costs, inflationary cost increases, and the discontinuation of the Federal ARRA stimulus funding received during the 2009-11 biennium.) CSL does not take into account the budget reductions made in 2009-2011. This reduction list will be submitted with the Agency Request Budget, but is not included in the budget. Rather, the reductions are options the Governor can consider when crafting the 2011-13 Recommended Budget.
Oregon Health Authority
In its 2009-11 budget, OHA identified 99 Policy Packages that totaled $897.4 million GF and $3.2 Billion Total Funds (TF) of additional funding needed to begin to meet the true need for Health/Human Service programs and services for Oregon's citizens. Of this, 12 Packages were included in the 2009-11 Legislatively Adopted Budget, totaling $42.5 million GF and $1.5 Billion TF. This leaves $855.2 million GF and $1.7 Billion TF in unmet Human Service needs that the 2011-13 Current Service Level budget does not consider. Since the 2009 Legislative Session ended and the LAB was completed, OHA has had to make additional budget reductions due to declining state revenues.
It is from this position that the OHA list of reduction options would be applied to achieve a 25 percent reduction of General Fund.
Department of Human Services
Oregon's economic situation has put a profound strain on the ability of the Oregon Department of Human Services and its service providers to fulfill their missions of providing an adequate safety net for the state.
As the recession drives more Oregonians to need human services, it has also meant there are fewer resources to pay for those services. In order to meet the demands of both a balanced budget and increasing demand, DHS made several reductions over the course of 2009-2011.
The reductions have meant loss of important services such as Employment Related Day Care and deep rate reductions in residential care organizations and children's foster homes serving persons with developmental disabilities. It has also meant that DHS service providers and the agency are operating with reduced service and staffing levels.
It is from this position that the DHS list of reduction options would be applied to achieve a 25 percent reduction of General Fund.
Joint agency guidelines
In crafting the list of 2011-13 CSL budget reduction options, OHA and DHS leadership identified guidelines andguiding principles when prioritizing the reduction list with the understanding that deep reductions will have adverse effects on the Oregonians we serve:
OHA and DHS have coordinated with one another as each department has crafted their respective reduction options around the guideline of "avoiding reductions that will shift people to more costly programs in OHA or DHS". Each OHA and DHS reduction has been examined in regard to the effect it may have on other DHS and/or OHA programs. These types of reductions have been priced such that any cost shifts to other OHA or DHS programs have been deducted from the reduction option.

Nice to see that projects are still on the go despite the holiday season fast approaching.

Nice to see that projects are still on the go despite the holiday season fast approaching.
I may be able to get back to Franky soon since all my craft fairs are over for the year.
I am finally working on this project! Have character charted into grid of squares. Decided which colors I'll use, (have most of fabric I'll need), and began cutting the first two rows. Will only need an additional FQ of Kona 'coal' (have ordered) and a FQ of very pale blue.
This picture is more or less what I have in mind - only "Hugh" character will be larger (33" with 1.50 edges = 36") and have medium grey background, no white.
Still haven't decided about border. Originally thought I'd make star blocks, but most I've seen use HST's and I hate those, so now I'm thinking maybe using outerspace fabric and applique stars onto that. I've never done applique and would like to try something new.
Lots of progress in the character stashes!
Beth33 ... Stars can be done with out HSTs. There's some pretty nice PP stars that you might want to consider.
Beth33, nice to see you have a plan. I really like the idea of outer space fabric. They make quite a variety. Applique or papaer pieced starts both work. Looking forward to seeing more pics.
Well, my 'coal' FQ arrived, but not quite happy - it would do in a pinch - but ordered another shade (charcoal this time) and I'll use whichever of the two shades I like best. In the mean time I'll continue to cut what fabric I have. I plan to give this to my trekkie brother, he wouldn't care about the colors that much.
Decided to ask Santa for a Kona color card.
I still don't have a digital camera but once Hugh's face looks a bit more like a face I'll take some scans.
Beth33 ... a colour card would sure be a bonus for online ordering. Many of the FWS and PC ladies scan their blocks to show on the threads and it works incredibly well. We'll look forward to seeing your progress!
Yes, Yes, Miss Peep has earned her name well ... and is boo-hooing in her corner as she watches this "character" take shape.
Anyone recognize him??
It'll be my offering for our "something you made" exchange at my "adopted" family's Christmas!
Looking for any input of ideas you may have ... as not sure where it's heading next.
Or what changes I will make.
It seems to be missing punch and pop, so I welcome any suggestions you may have.
Currently 21x41 ... goal is to keep him door size!
And preference to keep it non-Christmas, so it can be out all winter-long.
Attachment 382578
Love Frosty, QuiltE. The finished product is great! Very wintery and uplifting.
Me, I just finished a witch cross stitch so Franky is going to get some attention soon. He's been a very patient monster.
If you want to see Endora's Home Cooking, she can be found here:
W4Me ... Endora looks perfect! The details are awesome and the backstitching enhances it all, so much! I only wish I could see her IRL, as I'm sure the online photo does not do her full justice. What size does she finish at? Now for the framing!!!
Fr♥sty ... I started a thread with the finsihed Fr♥sty
Though, I guess I should have shown him finished here as well. I didn't go for a lot of extra work with him, as I wanted to keep him door size. Just made it, as you'll see! And also, did not want him to have a lot of competition with other things there!
Attachment 385355
Attachment 385356
Spent a little time with Franky yesterday. He is now a sandwich. I know what colour thread I want to use to quilt him so need to make sure I have it.
After Franky I have to decide if I do a small project or go straight into my next character quilt which also works for the patriotic challenge.

"For cryin' out loud," says his long-suffering significant other. "A few years ago you wanted to write for them so bad." No matter. Any freelancer will recognize Harvey's eternal dissatisfaction — the once heady dream of publication become routine, a burden, a job. "Those schmucks send me stuff no one else wants t' review because they know I'm so hard up I'll do it." Say it, brother.
It would be nice to think that by the time he died in Cleveland on July 12 at the age of 70, Pekar had found some measure of satisfaction. His comics were widely anthologized and new projects appeared with regularity — a comic-book history of the Beats, a history of SDS, a comic-book adaptation of Studs Terkel's Working, a hardcover comic-book autobiography of his early years, The Quitter. He even wrote a libretto for a jazz opera, Leave Me Alone!, performed at Oberlin College in 2009. There was the award-winning 2003 film American Splendor, based on his comics and which chronicled his struggle with lymphoma. A New York Times BookReview approved comparisons of Pekar to Chekhov.
But for many — and maybe even to himself — Pekar was the ultimate everyman as outsider, chronicling life "From off the Streets of Cleveland," his job as a file clerk in a VA hospital, his record collecting, his arguments with girlfriends and spouses. The titles said almost everything about his slice-of-life autobiographical anecdotes (illustrated by a large cast, including, most famously, his longtime friend R. Crumb): "How I Quit Collecting Records and Put Out a Comic with the Money I Saved," "Awaking to the Terror of the Same Old Day," "Standing Behind Old Jewish Ladies in Supermarket Lines," and "A Short Weekend: A Story about the Cosmic and the Ordinary."
Pekar wrote countless short CD reviews and occasional book reviews (including for the BostonHerald and the Phoenix). For the Village Voice and other publications, he produced a series of lovely one-page cartoon bios of some of his jazz heroes, including the Boston microtonal master Joe Maneri, whose music was also featured in the film of American Splendor. And of course, it was typical of Pekar's contrariness that years after grousing about Sonny Stitt, he wrote the liner notes to a three-CD set, Stitt's Bits: The Bebop Recordings 1949-'52, in which he extolled the alto saxophonist's virtues as one of the founders of bebop.
Years before the film made him even more famous, Pekar gained fame for his on-air spats with David Letterman, now YouTube-able. Wild-eyed, he had no patience for Letterman's conventional show-biz queries, and his honesty is like ice water over the head. He doesn't need to do TV, he says in one segment. Letterman: "But you're here because you like me, don't you?" Harvey: "I don't even know you, man!" And then, wearing an "On Strike Against NBC" T-shirt, he tears into the alleged anti-trust violations of Letterman's then-boss, General Electric.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
I just wanted to thank you for your great customer service. When I needed to contact you, I was a bit apprehensive, not having any previous experience with your company, but you completely took care of my situation in a cheerful, conscientious manner. Life can be very stressful when you have a loved one with a chronic condition that requires medical identification. It's so nice to know that there is a company out there that not only cares about making this fun and fashionable, but also durable. Your kindness is very much appreciated.

Summertime is at its berry best with a refreshing main-dish salad like this one.
Look for raspberry chipotle sauce near the barbecue sauces in the supermarket. Glazed almonds can be found in the produce section.
Serve this hearty salad with a slice of crusty bread and a glass of iced tea.

It's been seven years since James Murphy, Tim Goldsworthy, and Jonathan Galkin launched DFA Records and authorized scads of ostensibly soulless hipsters to relax a little and shake their asses the way young people ought to. Derided by some as being nothing more than cynical anthropologist DJs with a hard-on for no wave, the DFA post-everything juggernaut has always been a lot more varied (and generous) in scope than its detractors might admit. Its roster beams with recognizable legacy talents like Hot Chip, LCD Soundsystem, Cut Copy, and the Rapture; but hungry beat hunters would be well served by perusing their latest scores.
The Juan Maclean, "Happy House" [Excerpt]
You could check out this track on-line to get a sense of the Juan Maclean's increasingly exuberant approach to simultaneously poppy and dirty house — but the guy's gonna be downstairs at the Middle East on Labor Day (that's September 1, folks), and you'd be silly not to experience it in its proper, bouncing context. Just make sure you digest all that barbecue first.
Plastique De Rêve, "Lost In The City"
In an effort to bring US beatfreaks tracks that are next to impossible to find stateside, DFA sprung its Death from Abroad! offshoot in 2007. So far, it's dropped singles from London's Mock & Toof, Osaka's Altzm and France's Bot'Ox. Here, Swiss producer Plastique de Rêve offers a gorgeous, pulsing chunk of neo-acid, with lilting vocals from 18-year-old phenom Ghostape.
Free Blood, "Grumpy"
Originating as a live-only party force (two mics, bass, and fake drums), the duo of Free Blood have migrated into the studio (okay, the closet of an apartment) and commenced flinging their ungodly concoction of experimental antics and straight-up party jammage onto tape. Here, vocalist John Pugh (ex-!!!) crawls up into his high-register only to drop onto the dance floor like Tigger.
Syclops, "Where's Jason's K"
With any luck, Syclops represent the future sound of DFA — meticulously programmed and sculpted, but brimming with a freewheeling, reassuring humanity. As suited to hard time on the floor as to soft time on the sofa, "Where's Jason's K" is a fitting ambassador from the trio's freshly dropped I've Got My Eye on You. (Nyuk-nyuk, fellas.)

The sculptures "Man" and "The Kite That Never Flew," by pioneering artist Alexander Calder, are on display in front of the Princeton University Art Museum. James Steward (above), director of the Princeton University Art Museum, talks about the two pieces and abstract art.

Web Stories
Video feature: 'Calder on Campus'
Posted March 19, 2014; 12:00 p.m.
Two sculptures by American artist Alexander Calder are on display in front of the Princeton University Art Museum through June 15. The abstract pieces, made of painted steel and produced in 1967, are on loan from the Fisher Family Collection.
The pieces are titled "Man" and "The Kite That Never Flew." The stationary abstract structures are known as stabiles, an art form invented by Calder. In this video about the sculptures, James Steward, director of the Princeton University Art Museum, discusses Princeton's campus art and Calder's unique contributions to the form.
"They are important for the fact that he was one of the real innovators in the move to pure abstraction, leaving aside any notion of representation in the form of the sculpture," Steward said.
In addition to a number of gallery-sized pieces by the artist, the museum holds one large work by Calder, "Five Disks: One Empty," in its permanent collection through the John B. Putnam Jr. Memorial Collection of outdoor sculpture, part of the campus collections. That piece, created specifically for the University, is located on Fine Hall Plaza.
Begun by Doris and the late Donald Fisher, who co-founded Gap Inc., the Fisher Family Collection has grown to be one of the world's most important collections of modern and contemporary art. The family has supported the University in numerous ways over the past four decades.

http://naturalsociety.com/marijuana-...vere-seizures/Jayden suffers from something called Dravet syndromea form of epilepsy that results in frequent and painful seizures. In his short life, he has been rushed to the hospital a total of 44 times. In an effort to control the seizures, doctors had the boy on 22 different anti-seizure pills each day. Sure, they helped to control the violent seizures, but Jayden was left immobilized by their strength.
At his wits end, and nearly suicidal, Jaydens father turned to medical marijuana. For the first time since he was an infant, Jayden went an entire day without a seizure.
Jaydens father, Jason David, uses a non-psychoactive form of marijuana. This means his son doesnt experience any sort of high, aside of course from the high of being pain free.
While he still doesnt talk, Jayden is now more active than ever, running, playing with friends, and swimming at the local pool. There was a time when he couldnt eat solid foods or function because of the steady stream of pharmaceuticals. His father has taken to calling the medicine miracle marijuana as opposed to medical marijuana. This is similar to the experience another 3-year old boy had, where marijuana oil actually helped him beat cancer.
The form of liquid cannabidiols that Jayden takes is a tincture developed by Harborside Health Care in Oakland, California. This clinic is the same type that the federal government is gunning for in the War on Cannabis.

Shasta Bally
The northwest trending (N45°W) batholith is the dominant feature in the Whiskeytown area. This dominance of the local topographic expression is due to its preferential resistance to erosion in contrast to the surrounding country rock. Its total exposed length is about 48 km (30 miles) and its widest point is about 14 km (9 miles). There are several satellite plutons, identical in composition that crop out around Shasta Bally. One of the largest, the Clear Creek plug, covers more than 2.5 square kilometers (1 square mile). Contacts between the batholith and the surrounding, foliated, gneissic country rocks, are sharp.
The Shasta Bally batholith is an igneous pluton, which intruded the older assemblage of quartz-mica schists, felsic and mafic volcanic rocks, conglomeratic and shaly sedimentary rocks ranging in age from the Precambrian to the Mississippian (Albers, 1965; Irwin, 1999). This intrusive event occurred during the Late Jurassic- Early Cretaceous and was contemporaneous with the Nevadan orogenic event. During this time, plutonism was also occurring in the area that became the Sierra Nevada mountains, southeast of Whiskeytown.
1848 Historical Structures
Though Whiskeytown National Recreation Area was set aside to preserve a natural area for outdoor activities focusing on the reservoir, careful attention must be paid to the historical context found in the area as well. This context is centered on the geologic resources of the area, which attracted early mining interest and settlement. The preservation and restoration of the historical features present at Whiskeytown will add to the heritage of the gold rush story for this and future generations.
Mining History
When the considerable placer deposits in the Whiskeytown area were exhausted, attention moved toward mining the hillsides for lode gold in massive sulfide deposits and gold- bearing quartz veins. Mining in the area has been active intermittently since 1848 with extraction of copper, zinc, pyrite, gold, and silver (Albers, 1964).
In the quest for gold and other heavy metal deposits of the French Gulch area, more than 40 mines were excavated. Whiskeytown National Recreation Area is located in the Whiskeytown mining district. This district is one of 4 in the area which include the French Gulch- Deadwood, Muletown, and South Fork districts. The mines in the Whiskeytown district include the Eldorado, Gambrinus, Ganim gold- talc, Mad Mule, Mad Ox, Mount Shasta, and Truscott mines. Production of gold from the district is estimated between 68,700 and 71,500 ounces of gold.
The geology associated with the different deposits varies. Contacts between the Bragdon Formation (described below) and intrusive igneous rocks are host to the Mad Mule and Truscott mines. Northwest- trending structures in the Balaklala Rhyolite and Copley Greenstone are the focus of the Mount Shasta and Ganim mines. Veins trending east- west in the Mule Mountain comprise the Mascot, Eiller, and numerous other small deposits (Albers 1965).Veins in the Copley and Balaklala Formations as well as the Mule Mountain stock were much less productive in terms of gold recovered than in the Bragdon Formation contacts more prevalent in other districts.
The Reservoir and Whiskeytown Dam
The dam is located in the Clear Creek drainage basin about 18 km (11 miles) west of the junction with the Sacramento River Valley in the southeastern portion of the Klamath Mountains physiographic province. The basin is bordered on the east by the, relatively low elevation (701 m [2,300 ft])Mule Mountain range. The higher peaks of the Shasta Bally mountains, which grade northward into the Trinity Mountains form the western boundary. The Trinity Mountains separate the Clear Creek drainage from the Trinity River drainage (BOR, 1995). The drainage area for the reservoir is 524.5 square kilometers (202.5 square miles).
The crest elevation of the dam is 374 m (1,228 ft) with the structural height of the dam at 86 m (282 ft). The dam and its associated dikes are composed of zoned earthfill, a mix of rocks, sand, boulders, mud, etc. The dam is constructed on the Balaklala Metarhyolite Formation and the granite of the Mule Mountain Stock.
The reservoir behind Whiskeytown Dam, Whiskeytown Lake, is a major northern California recreation attraction (figure 9). The lake provides 58 km (36 miles) of shoreline and 3,200 surface acres of water. The normal surface elevation of the reservoir is 369 m (1,210 ft) with a hydraulic height of 77 m (252 ft). The dam is not gated. However, the Judge Francis Carr Powerplant on the west end of the lake generates power. The powerplant has two generators with a total capacity of 154,400 kilowatts and has been in service since May, 1963 (BOR, 2003).
The contact between the sedimentary rocks of the Mississippian Bragdon Formation (a primary gold producer) and the underlying igneous intrusives is thought to be a low- angle thrust fault. In areas where contacts are exposed, the Bragdon is highly deformed, faulted, and intruded. Intrusive igneous activity focused along the faulted areas (Albers, 1965). Magma favors preexisting fractures and weaknesses in a rock.
There are numerous faults running through the park, although many are difficult to locate due to the poor exposures and a lack of stratigraphic markers necessary to determine clear offset in the igneous rocks. Most appear to trend northwest to southeast, with secondary faulting trending northeast to southwest. The majority of these faults have little inferred offset.
The Hoadley Fault virtually bisects the park from the northwest end to the southeast corner. It is a normal fault with the downthrown side to the northeast that generally dips 50º- 65º to the northeast. Movement along this fault likely occurred around 140 Ma.
Accreted Terranes
Faults, linear ultramafic bodies, or granite plutons separate these tectonostratigraphic lithic belts, which contain both volcanic and sedimentary units with associated deep- seated intrusive granites, and nearsurface intrusive rocks of Devonian through Cretaceous age (Irwin, 1966). By the early Cretaceous, after at least 8 different major accretionary events, belts of sutured terranes comprised the southern Klamath Mountains. From east to west, these terranes are called: 1) eastern (Paleozoic) Klamath belt (Redding, Trinity, and Yreka subterranes ~399- 380 Ma), 2) central metamorphic terrane (~220 Ma) – Fort Jones terrane (~198- 193 Ma), 3) North Fork terrane (~180 Ma), 4) Eastern Hayfork terrane (~168 Ma), 5) Western Hayfork terrane (~164 Ma), and 6) Rattlesnake Creek terrane (~150 Ma) (figure 10) (Irwin, 1966; 1999). The granites and near- surfaceintrusives form another series of interstitial belts comprised of bodies of equivalent age that are divided into pre- and post- amalgamation referring to the timing of their emplacement relative to the addition of the major tectonostratigraphic belts. The interstitial belts vary on the degree of metamorphism from unmetamorphosed to amphibolite facies (Danielson and Silberman, 1987).
The eastern Klamath belt is comprised of an essentially homoclinal sequence of layers dipping to the east and terminating with some deformation against ultramafic intrusive rocks. In aggregate the sediments are 12,000 to 15,000 m (40,000 to 50,000 ft) thick and range in age from Ordovician to Jurassic, although the Ordovician and Silurian rocks are limited to exposures in an isolated northernmost part of the belt.
The central metamorphic terrane consists mainly of the Abrams mica schist and the Salmon hornblende schist. It is separated from the eastern Klamath belt by ultramafic igneous rocks and from the western Paleozoic and Triassic belt by faulting with no associate intrusives (Irwin, 1966). The Abrams mica schist is a composite unit which includes metasedimentary rocks occurring both above (Grouse Ridge Formation) and below (Stuart Fork Formation) the Salmon hornblende schist.
The lower rocks are considered fensters in a regional thrust plate formed by Salmon hornblende schist and theGrouse Ridge Formation. The metamorphic history of the area is complex. The regional grade generally ranges from upper greenschist to almandine (garnet)- amphibolite facies with some retrograde metamorphism as well (Davis, 1966).
The terranes west of the central metamorphic terrane consist of phyllitic detrital rocks, radiolarian (fossils) chert, mafic volcanics, and crystalline limestone, which have been intruded by ultramafic and granitic rocks. The grade of metamorphism ranges from low- grade greenschist facies to amphibolite facies. Some fossils have been identified from this belt including Late Pennsylvanian or Early Permian fusulinids and Permian and Triassic ammonites (Irwin, 1966).
The westernmost belts are composed mainly of the Galice Formation and the South Fork Mountain schist. The Galice Formation, dated as Late Jurassic, is composed of a lower metavolcanic unit and an upper metasedimentary unit. The metavolcanic unit is composed mainly of meta- andesite flows and breccias and may be over 2,100 m (7,000 ft) thick. The upper unit is mostly slaty mudstone and foliated greywacke. The South Fork Mountain schist is well- foliated quartz-mica schist extending in a narrow north- south band along western boundary of the Klamath Mountains for about 242 km (150 miles) (Irwin, 1966).

I'm hoping that cycling twice around Lake Bled in Slovenia will in some way offset the effects of eating one of the regional specialties - a custard slice that will absolutely never get a "pick the tick" logo.
Lake Bled, in north-western Slovenia and only a few kilometres from the Austrian border, has an air of unreality about it, despite the fact that it is often besieged with tourists.
Encircle a small lake with a backdrop of both the Julian Alps and Karavanke mountains, drop in a tiny island topped with a 17th century church, and top it all off with a medieval castle perched high on a cliff over the lake.
It would be a cliché to use the world "fairly-tale" to describe the result. But unfortunately, when you're standing amongst the oak forests on the shores of Lake Bled and someone is rowing past the island in a wooden boat shaped like a swan, it's the word that comes instantly to mind.
Although people have lived around the lake and on the island since the 7th century, Lake Bled's beauty was not always appreciated the way it was now. In the 18th century someone even considered draining the lake and using the exposed clay to make bricks.
Thankfully this idea was abandoned and by the mid 19th century Bled was discovered by its first wave of early tourists. Thanks to its rising popularity as a result of the fashion for spa holidays (Bled has hot springs), it's future was secure.
Today Slovenians and overseas visitors alike flock to Lake Bled for its alpine air, the springs and the scenery. The small town at the eastern end of the lake might be a mishmash of hotels, restaurants and shops, but it is surprisingly easy to escape the throngs of visitors.
Early one morning before most people were stirring I hired a bike and set off around the 6km trail that hugs the lake shore. An early autumn mist was hovering above the water, making Bled Island appear to float magically just above the surface, and the first sunshine of the day was illuminating the castle walls.
Set among lime and oak trees on the lake shore above the trail not far out of town is the former holiday villa of Marshal Tito, the ruler of the former Yugoslavia of which Slovenia was once part. It's now a hotel, and as I cycled past I had a glimpse of an elegant white building and wide steps descending towards the lake.
At the far end of the lake is a camping ground and, conveniently, an outdoor café - it was the perfect place for an early morning infusion of caffeine with an unimpeded view of the castle and the island thrown in for free.
The Church of the Assumption on the island is at the top of 98 stone steps. It was a tradition long before the socialist era for grooms to carry their brides up the steps. To succeed was to prove oneself fit for marriage.
The church was closed and weddings on the island banned during the time of Tito, but following Slovenia's peaceful transformation to independence the tradition is back in fashion.
Presumably, if you were a groom you'd want to ensure your bride had not consumed too many of Bled's specialty pastries before setting up the steps. Kremsnita can be found all over Slovenia but it was invented in a Bled hotel and the town considers it still has the best.
Kremsnita look like a superior, and rather large, custard square but with the addition under the top layer of very fluffy pastry of about a centimetre of fresh cream. Even the lakeside café had them on offer but I resisted, not wanting to undo all the good work from the cycle.
Beyond the campground was the Zaka Regattae Centre, which was the venue for last year's World Rowing Championships and the scene of a gold rush for New Zealand rowers. Boats were being launched as I pedaled past: fours, eights, pairs and doubles were setting off for a morning's training on the still waters of the lake.
Beneath the castle the lakeside was studded with more 19th century villas and squirrels skittered among the first falling leaves of autumn. Back in town, I decided that the time was nearly right for a kremsnita, but as an insurance policy I decided to cycle around the lake one more time first.

Are you a weekend breakfast chef? Serve wheaty granola waffles in your home restaurant.
You can use almost any flavor of yogurt in these waffles. Raspberry, vanilla and strawberry-banana are great alternatives.
Waffle irons come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Each waffle iron uses a different amount of batter, so you may end up with fewer or more waffles.
Skip making the sauce, and top these waffles with a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of additional granola.

Stashed 2 of the new Joe comic packs at Burbank Target (copperhead-shipwreck & storm shadow-firefly). PM me for location.
Saw the Palpatine/Bespin Luke MMs at Burbank Target this morning. Yoda was nowhere to be found. Fresh (old) Legends figures on pegs- boring!
You mean just because it took you longer to open the packages than they appeared in the movie, and the action involved was far more interesting?I don't regret every KOTCS toy that I've bought but the Jungle Cutter and Cemetary Warrior sure up that regret percentage.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Mark, while I don't disagree that the Cemetary Soldier is a great sculpt, I was expecting more out of them in the movie. To me, they were just your garden variety B-movie monsters. I'd much rather have the Crystal Skeleton figures and I'm indeed sending away for at least 2. Basically, owning this figure is like owning the ROTS Utapau Warrior
The Lego Jungle Chase set was also disappointing in that only 1 of the 3 things you build are actually in the movie. Amphibious jeep - check. Raft - not in movie. Jungle outpost - not in the movie. It's still a great set but it leaves you wondering if that jungle chase scene was everything that it could've been.
Yo homies. havn't hit many stores lately since there's nothing new out and I'm all caught up. But did any of you LEGO freaks pick up the Batmobile Tumbler and Joker set? $50 at TRU.... It's off the chain!
There's a new "collector" in Burbank. He drives a Lexus and loves them "rare black coin" figures.
Stashed a Mygeeto BP at Target. PM for the 411.

Long daytime naps can interfere with nighttime sleep — especially if you're struggling with insomnia or poor sleep quality at night. If you choose to nap during the day, limit yourself to about 10 to 30 minutes and make it during the midafternoon.
If you work nights, you'll need to make an exception to the rules about daytime sleeping. In this case, keep your window coverings closed so that sunlight — which adjusts your internal clock — doesn't interrupt your daytime sleep.
Regular physical activity can promote better sleep, helping you to fall asleep faster and to enjoy deeper sleep. Timing is important, though. If you exercise too close to bedtime, you might be too energized to fall asleep. If this seems to be an issue for you, exercise earlier in the day.
When you have too much to do — and too much to think about — your sleep is likely to suffer. To help restore peace, consider healthy ways to manage stress. Start with the basics, such as getting organized, setting priorities and delegating tasks. Give yourself permission to take a break when you need one. Share a good laugh with an old friend. Before bed, jot down what's on your mind and then set it aside for tomorrow.
Nearly everyone has an occasional sleepless night — but if you often have trouble sleeping, contact your doctor. Identifying and treating any underlying causes can help you get the better sleep you deserve.

Lemon anything is always a big hit in my family....gonna make these!!!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Lemon anything is always a big hit in my family....gonna make these!!!!
Alcyone group: http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...bums18449.html
Electra group: http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...bums18446.html
Now that Spring is almost, kinda here...it will be fun to celebrate with beautiful lemon bar for our neighborhood party. I live in a small condo community and we can find any excuse to get together.
Lemon is a family favorite. Definitely going to try this. Thank you. Bookmark marking it now.
Face the sun and keep your shadow at your back.
And it never hurts to keep an angel on your shoulder.
I made these yesterday.
Next time I will add some lemon extract as I prefer a stronger lemon flavor. They are definitely not to be eaten out of hand as they are so moist and sticky.
Can't beat the simplicity.
"God forbid that I should go to any heaven in which there are no horses" -- Robert Bontine Cunninghame-Graham, letter to Theodore Roosevelt, 1890
Oh Yes, I will be trying this. I love easy and as few ingredients as possible. Also love anything lemon.
Bookmarking also...sounds really good!
I make all my cakes like this and love them! Haven't seen lemon and angel food cake tho. Will try it soon Thanks!
Another simple one...one 20oz can of crushed pineapple mixed with an angel food cake mix
Can you imagine? I am having trouble finding the lemon? I plan to take this to quilting tomorrow IF I can find the lemon filling!
"Only those who know enough is enough can ever have enough." Lao Tzu
My hubby loves lemon bars and I hesitate to make them. This is such an easy recipe, he will get them more often now but not too often, he needs to lose some weight! Thank you for sharing.

Can someone give me some drills to work on steadying my dog while training by myself? I don't really have anybody to train with most of the time.
Can someone give me some drills to work on steadying my dog while training by myself? I don't really have anybody to train with most of the time.
Depending on what foundation you have established, assuming the dog is old enough and he basically knows what you want.
If you are alone, have the dog sit 15-20 yards away from you and throw bumpers toward him. Kind of far away from him at first then closer and over him. Eventually landing right in front of him. Don't let him retrieve, go pick them up yourself. Again this is if you have the ability to stop him from a distance if he goes. He will gladly do as you wish, it's just getting him to understand what that is.
Of course it would be best to have him at your side and a helper throwing.
Good luck with your dog.

"If you run Field Trials, you learn to swallow your disappointment quickly."
"Field trials are not a game for good dogs. They're for great dogs with great training." E. Graham
I don't know any steadying drills. I do know how to steady a dog to shot and birds. I follow Total Retriever Training by Mike Lardy. His process is as follows:
Put a short lead and choke chain on the dog. Hold the lead taut while he is at heel. Launch the bird or dummy. Hold the dog still and make him sit. Then release and let him drag the lead.
Move to where you can keep the lead on the dog but let it be a little loose or a slight sag. If he moves, make him sit with the lead.
Then progress to where the lead is dangling loose. Maybe stepping on the lead.
By now the dog should be ecollar conditioned. So you can now use the ecollar to improve line manners.
This is a long process and doesn't happen over night. You can look at some of the Rowdy (by Pirate) video clips and see the taut lead process. I think one is titled that and another is titled strechting out.
If you are training alone I would suggest Dennis Voigts dvd Training Retrievers Alone. You didn't mention if you were following a training program. If not, I would suggest: Total Retriever Training, 2 ed, by Mike Lardy. It is available through YBS Media as is Dennis' dvd.
If you are strapped for cash Mike Lardy has published his Retriever Journal articles in three volumes at only $25 each. Volume 1 would help you a lot.
You really didn't provide much information for us to work with to help you. If you have a very young puppy I would suggest Bill Hillman's Training a retriever Puppy.

Are you just starting a young pup or are you trying to develope steadiness for the upcoming duck season?
True steadiness cannot be expected (fairly) unless you train with live birds. Steady with a thrown bumper or dead duck and steady with the real thing are 2 different animals.
Bert Rodgers
Sit means Sit
I know I dont do a very good job of demanding a very high standard for it.
You can easily work on it everyday in real life situations.
Not a command you repete several times after you give it. Dog complies NOW.. very quick response ... and doesnt move anything... anytime,, any situation,, untill you tell it to do otherwise.. You can practice this everyday,, under several different diversional circumstamces..
I get reminded all the time I miss opportunities to enforce the sit standard. Each time you do,, the dog learns its not important to you. YOU have to make it very important to you..
I am working on a routine where the dog sits,, then given a cue to just move its head or at maximum its front feet, to either pull to you or push. dog cannot though break sit.. Butt stays planted..

I have seen it taught a couple of different ways. One way was with singles off multiple guns,and have the dog move with you to each gun station . Gradually refining what part of the dog moves . If the butt comes off the ground, " sit" enforced, and no bird is thrown. If the head moves only dog is rewarded.
another way was in a training group session where folks would sit on buckets in a circle, and when the dog moved correctly, bumper was thrown from the guy who the dog moved correctly to, to the center of the circle for the dog to retrieve .
Takes time, and a very good sit before you even start.

Angry Birds Star Wars is now available for Android, iOS, Amazon Kindle Fire, Mac, PC, Windows Phone, and Windows 8
Angry Birds recently made its way into space, but now, it's taking that venture to a whole new level in the latest game, Angry Birds Star Wars.
Rovio Entertainment, maker of Angry Birds, and Lucasfilm Ltd., the film and production company responsible for
"Star Wars,"
