Yay!!! I love Jillibean Soup! <3 I got a bunch of goodies from the Homemade 6 Bean Soup line.
This layout uses only the stickers and die cuts from the line, no patterned paper at all!
I love the background paper on this layout, it's a cutting mat!!! My mom's a quilter and my grandmother used to quilt too so the sewing theme in this line just makes me happy. This layout is about the fabric paper dolls that my mom made Aud for her 2nd birthday. They were (and still are) quite the hit!

The unseasonably nice weather has been enjoyable for this time of year. Living around here, we all know we could have some real winter like conditions by now. So, we are savoring each nice day until then.
Recently, I was looking through a recipe box and came across one that had been clipped out of the Daily Iowegian almost 30 years ago by my mom.
The clipping said it was taken from the Tuesday, May 8, 1984 edition of the newspaper.
With the upcoming holidays, this old candy recipe sounded like it might be one that should be repeated. The paper said it was for an old style candy called:
2 ½ c. brown sugar
2 Tb. of butter
½ c. milk
1 c. English Walnuts (chopped into small pieces).
1 tsp.vanilla.
In a small sauce pan, add the brown sugar, butter and milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat. When it has boiled long enough to form a ball, when dropped into cold water, remove from the heat. Stir in walnuts and the vanilla.
Then stir until almost too stiff to pour. Scrape the pan and put the batter into a buttered 9" by 9" square pan. When cooled, cut into squares.
Everyone has heard of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and probably has watched it a lot of times over the years, on television. Did you know they were not the first department store to begin the Thanksgiving Day tradition of kicking off the holiday season with a parade to welcome Santa Claus?
The tradition began in Philadelphia in 1920 when their renowned Gimbel's Department store launched its first parade to encourage shoppers to bring the children to come and visit Santa Claus in their vast toy department and large store on Market Street, in center city Philadelphia.
The Gimbel's Department store originally opened in 1894 and carried on a long tradition as one of Philadelphia's top stores.
The store was founded by the Gimbel Family, which consisted of Bernard Gimbel, Frederic Gimbel and Adam Gimbel.
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City did not begin until four years later in 1924.
The rivalry between Gimbel's and Macy's, was fictionalized in the original Miracle on 34th Street movie that came out in 1947. The two stores did compete against each other, since Gimbel's also had a New York City store back in those days.
The original movie contained actual film footage of the 1946 Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. It starred Maureen O'Hara and a young Natalie Wood.
Years ago, the famous Slinky, the moveable spring like toy, was debuted at a Gimbel's Department Store at their northeast Philadelphia Gimbel's location.
At one time, Gimbel's was the largest department store in America. When I was growing up, I remember we would take the subway from New Jersey over to Philadelphia on Thanksgiving morning and go watch the parade in person. We did that a few times over the years. In those days, the parade would march around the historic, Victorian Philadelphia City Hall and go east on Market Street to the big Gimbel's store there. Waiting at the store, would be a big Hook and Ladder fire truck, provided by the Philadelphia Fire Department.
As the parade came to a stop in front of the store, Santa Claus would climb down off of his float in the parade and then go over to the fire truck ladder and proceed up the long ladder to enter the store. He would go in an open window on an upper floor to enter into his Toyland.
The next day, on black Friday, he would be there to greet the children. When I was little, my mom would go Christmas shopping in center city and she would take me to get my picture taken with Santa Claus in the big department store.
For years, the Gimbel's parade was broadcast on television nationwide, by the CBS Network along with the highlights of a couple of other parades on Thanksgiving Day.
When the Gimbel's stores closed in 1987, there were 36 stores in the United States. The store name was remembered in a modern Christmas movie, as the fictionalized Gimbel's Department Store in the movie Elf.
Although the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade continues to gain all of the publicity, the oldest continuous Christmas parade, still remains in Philadelphia. Even though Gimbel's has been out of business for years, the parade has continued to be sponsored each year, by different businesses.
For the 2011 Thanksgiving Day parade in Philadelphia, it will be televised to that city's local television market, by an ABC affiliate. The parade is now sponsored by the Dunkin Donuts chain of donut shops, to carry on this longstanding tradition of the Christmas season.
We would like to extend a welcome, to some new Exline residents. They are Michael Sornson and Deb Fenton. They now live in the Coal Miners Commons houses on Main Street in town.
They own and operate the ATV Barn on Highway 2, on the west edge of Centerville, where they repair all terrain vehicles.
Recently, Marge Hatfield of rural Exline, was awarded a gold pin and a plaque for 20 years of service at the Centerville Wal-Mart. Congratulations to Marge for her loyal service.
The American flags sure looked pretty, blowing in the breeze last Friday, here in our community, as they lined Main Street for Veteran's Day.
This past Monday evening, the Exline Royal Neighbors Camp 3000, hosted their annual Fall Dinner at the Exline Community Center. I was told they had delicious food and a nice turn out for the event.
In case you would like to celebrate and have a Thanksgiving Dinner early, the Exline Old Country Store is going to serve a turkey dinner on Wednesday, Nov. 23, for their mid-day meal. The store will be closed all day on Thanksgiving. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

What is a sin and what is a benevolent action?
An action that hurts others and oneself is a sin. An action that benefits others and ourselves is benevolence.
Can spirituality cure poverty?
Definitely. Spirituality brings a balance to the mind and brings great strength to us to do stuff. Spirituality also grants the intuition of where to put the effort. Many dig for water where it is dry. Spirituality gives correct direction for your effort. Removing the veil of ignorance spread over the mind is the same as waking the sleeping Divinity within oneself.
How should our speech be?
There is a lovely kannada song about this... Sri Sri sang it and translated to hindi... This is my translation of the hindi. When you speak, it should be like a string of softly sparkling pearls. Clean and bright. Your words should be clear as crystal, lucid and brilliant. Lord Shiva Himself should nod away in agreement with your words... Your speech should be so convincing and confident.
If Guru is there, is there any need for Pooja, astrology etc?
If the faith in the Guru is unshakable, unbreakable then no need for anything else. But a little bit of all this is always nice. Just a pinch of it. And anyways all this has no charm or strength when Guru is missing.
What's the point of all this creation, universes, life, etc?
What's the point of cricket? Throwing a ball, hitting it, running after it... "For a bit of fun" - answered the questioner. Exactly. The vast infinite Divinity wanted to have a bit of fun. That's why this is called a Leela - a play. While you are in it... Simply enjoy it.
What's the significance of taking a sankalpa?
Sankalpa is taking the consciousness to the infinite universe. And then bringing it to the present, and make some special wish for oneself or family or friends. Anyways in a Yagya, just being here, doing some service for others you become part of it and gain tremendous merit. But if you want to take some special part in it, be part of a few of the rituals, then this provision is also made in the form of a sankalpa.

1. Acknowledging that one knows very little.
Many people think they know, without knowing or they get stuck in their limited knowledge. So they never learn. So the first thing is to acknowledge that one knows very little.
2. Willingness to know.
Many people acknowledge that they do not know, but they are not ready to learn.
3. Being non-judgmental and open-minded.
Some people would like to learn but their judgmental attitude and close-mindedness does not allow them to learn.
4. Total commitment and one-pointedness to the path one has chosen.
Some people are open-minded but lack commitment and one-pointedness. They keep shopping here and there and never progress.
5. Always putting truth and service before pleasure.
Sometimes even committed and one-pointed people stay away from the path in pursuit of momentary pleasures.
6. Patience and perseverance.
Some people are not swayed by pleasures and are committed and one-pointed, but if they lack patience and perseverance, they become restless and dejected.
Q: Dear Guruji, what is the real meaning and importance of Rudra Pooja? And what happens to the people or the place?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
Rudrabhishek is an ancient chanting which was downloaded from the Aakasha (space). When the ancient sages and Rishis sat in meditation, they heard, and what they heard, they started transferring to other people. The effect of Rudrabhishek is it creates positive energy and removes negative vibes. And a lot is said about the Rudrabhishek. When Rudrabishek happens nature flourishes, nature becomes joyful, happy.
Main thing is the vibration, that is it. If you ask me, 'Do you know the meaning of all the chants? I will say, 'I also don't know.' It's the vibration of the chants that is important and then the meaning. There are two parts, the first part says, 'Namo, namo, namo, namo!' Mana, means mind. The word mind in English comes from Sanskrit word Mana. Nama is the reverse of the mind. The mind going to its source is called Nama. When the mind goes outside to experience the world, it is Mana. So Nama. is the mind going back to its source. When it goes to its source, what does it find? Everything is made up of one consciousness. Now, what do the scientists today say? God Particle – by which everything has been made. Thousands of years ago the Rishis said the same thing, that everything is made up of one thing, and that they called Brahman. – that which is neither male nor female. It is nothing but a Tattva. Tattva means principle. A great principle by which everything is made of, they called it Bramhan. And when that Bramhan becomes personal, it is called Shiva Tattva – the innocent Divinity; that is in everything. That is why we say, 'Namo, namo!' In the trees, in the greenery, in the birds, even in the thieves, and in a dacoit, everywhere, it is the same one principle.
Then, the second part will say, 'Chame, chame, chame, chame.' You have heard this, isn't it?! This means, everything is in Me.
'Me' in English comes from the Sanskrit word ' Ma', which means Myself. 'Ma Ma' means ' For Me', 'In Me'. So, everything is in terms of ; myself;. The second part is everything is for me and everything is in terms of me.
Even for numbers they say, 'Ekaachame', which means, one, two, three, four, they are all my form; Myself. Like that, 'Sugamchame', happiness for me! 'Abhayanchame', fearlessness, happiness, health, all the good things in the universe, let them all come to me, and they are all part of me. That is it.
And as this is being chanted, usually milk and water runs through the crystal, drop by drop. This is the ancient method. It is done with water or in fire as well. What they do is they keep a fire and they put different herbs for the different chants. Or you allow a string of water to keep falling on a crystal and you listen to this chanting – this is the ancient method.
And done on Mondays it is even more special. Monday is the day of the moon and the moon and mind are connected. Mantra, mind, moon, they are all connected somewhere. So, in India, it is a tradition, they have this chanting going on in the Ashrams. So in our ashram also, every Monday, we have this.
All the five elements are used in Pooja. Pooja means honoring all the elements, born out of fullness. So, fire, water, incense sticks, fruits, flowers, rice, whatever nature has given to us, those things are used and the chanting goes on. There is a lot of depth and meaning to it. You can go and do some research on it, more and more things will come out.
Mainly, it creates more positive ions, more so when people are meditating. Just doing it as a ritual is not that effective because it is said that the Veda Mantras are effective when people are awake from within; for them, these mantras have more meaning. So, they help you to go deep into meditation.
Remind yourself of the knowledge. Focus on the knowledge, don't get entangled in the people around you.
~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Don't try to get over the misunderstanding. If there is a misunderstanding, just overlook that.
Educate and ignore. Move forward. Don't do postmortem, i.e., sit and dig, 'Why did you say that?', 'You don't love me', all this garbage is such a waste of time. We dwell into so much emotional garbage. We should throw them all out and have bubbling enthusiasm. You should move with enthusiasm.
If someone lacks enthusiasm, push them into enthusiasm, and do not go on complaining or asking for explanation from people.
To improve family relations you need two things - No Explanations and No Complaints. That's it. Got it?
Asking explanation from others is a foolish thing. And explaining to others thinking they would understand is another foolish thing. It doesn't work both ways. The best is to just move forward.
~Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

The Green Party is backing Labour's proposal to provide free food to all kids at low-decile schools, and has slammed the government over its refusal to consider the idea.
Labour leader David Shearer gave his first major policy speech on Sunday, announcing that if it became the government, his party would partner with community and voluntary organisations to provide free food to each of the country's 650 decile 1-3 primary and intermediate schools, with a total of 119,135 pupils.
"I hear people argue that this is the responsibility of parents. We can debate that endlessly but it won't change this reality: tomorrow morning kids will still turn up to school hungry," he said.
However, Prime Minister John Key dismissed the idea, telling media in Vladivostok, where he attended the APEC conference, that "not every school wants every child to be provided a lunch".
"There are many families that can provide those lunches," he said.
That's drawn criticism from the Green Party, whose co-leader Metiria Turei says Mr Key is out of touch with the facts and "against every good idea to decrease child poverty".
"Food in schools is needed. According to Kidscan, one in 11 kids in the four lowest deciles are demonstrably hungry at school, and a Ministry of Health survey found that 20.1 per cent of New Zealand households with school-age children did not have enough food for active and health living," she said.
Education Minister Hekia Parata told Radio New Zealand the government is already doing enough to help families feed their kids.
She also rejected Mr Shearer's proposal to allow schools to opt out of controversial national standards assessments, saying she does not believe they will want to do so.
"You will find across the country that schools are talking about the fact that they are having very good quality educational discussions as a result of national standards."
Mr Shearer also announced proposals to extend reading recovery to all schools and develop a maths recovery programme.

WILMINGTON, N.C. – UNCG fell to UCF, 3-2, in the battle of two unbeaten teams earlier in the afternoon, but rebounded to sweep host UNC Wilmington, 3-0, as the Spartans split at the UNCW Courtyard by Marriott Tournament on Saturday.
The Spartans are now 7-1 on the season, while UCF remains perfect at 6-0 and UNCW falls to 2-4.
Seniors Caley Redden and Kayren Finney were named to the all-tournament team at the conclusion of the tournament.
"I was pleased with the way we recovered from our first match," said head coach Patrick Nicholas. "We missed an opportunity earlier in the day, but again we picked ourselves up and came back to fight against UNCW. When we take care of the ball and limit our errors we can be really great, but we just made too many errors in the first match. Also, I thought Kayren Finney had a heck of a tournament and was glad to see her recognized as an all-tournament performer."
Against UCF, Caley Redden led the Spartans with 13 kills and 19 digs for a double-double. Junior Ariel Newman also had a double-double as she posted 10 kills and 12 digs. Ari Lysacek added a team-high 35 assists and senior Kayren Finney chipped in eight blocks.
The Spartans opened up the match on fire as they took the opening set, 25-10. The two teams were tied at four early in the set before UNCG rattled off 21 of the final 27 points to easily win the set.
The second set was much closer between the two sides. The teams were tied at eight in the set, but the Spartans went on an 8-3 run to take a 16-11 advantage. The Knights fought back to pull within 20-17, although they were never to pull closer as UNCG took the set, 25-20.
It appeared as if the Spartans were on their way to their third sweep in as many matches as they led 17-14 in the third set. UCF continued to fight though and rallied to go win seven of the next eight points to take a 21-18. UNCG was never able to recover as the Knights took the set, 25-22.
The Knights carried their momentum into the fourth set as they took the first eight points of the set. UNCG clawed back to make it a 14-11 game, but the Spartans could never get closer than three points and UCF took the set, 25-19.
The fifth and final set was close in the early going as the two sides were tied at six. UCF took the next five points though to go ahead 11-6 on a kill by Nichole Riedel. UNCG came back to make it a one-point set at 13-12, but the Knights got a kill and a block to take the set, 15-12, and win the match.
In the second match, Finney led the Spartans offensively with 10 kills. Lysacek was the only Spartan with a double-double as she turned in 16 assists and 14 digs. Olivia Humphries also added nine kills for UNCG and Billi Baker chipped in eight kills.
The Spartans rebounded in their final match of the tournament against host UNC Wilmington as they jumped out to a 9-4 lead in the opening set. UNCG extended its lead to 23-15 on a UNCW error before claiming the set, 25-18, on another Seahawk error.
The second set was the closest as there were five ties and three lead changes between the two squads. The Spartans found themselves trailing 14-10 midway through the set, but they rallied to take a 17-16 lead on a kill by Humphries. UNCG continued to pour on its offense as a kill from Redden gave the Spartans the set, 25-21.
In the final set, the two sides once again found themselves in a battle as the Seahawks held a narrow 17-16 lead. UNCG though, called a timeout to regroup and went on to win the next seven points and go ahead, 23-17. The Spartans won the set, 25-19, on a service error by UNCW.
The Spartans return to action next weekend as they travel to Johnson City, Tenn. for the Buccaneer Classic. UNCG will kick off the tournament on Friday against UNC Asheville at 4:30 p.m.

I am not tech savvy AT ALL but maybe you will understand what I am trying to say. At work I was having trouble with some of the sites I had been able to access before. Tech Services told me that sites were updating their programs and I now need to update the version of whatever I was using to assess them. ( I had version 4 & they were now using version 7) In that case it was Internet Explorer they were using. That worked for me. Seems like I had to update the home computer like that a couple of years ago when HGTV started messing with things...HTH ETA - Did you see that roolen has made two posts this month? .This message has been edited.

Communication works two ways: talking and listening. Neither one is effective without the other. To build a successful roommate relationship you need to keep the lines of communication open. This doesn't mean that you should share everything but you need to talk actively with your roommate.
A Good Beginning
It is important to start off on the right foot with your new roommate. Even if your roommate is not new to you, you are still new to being roommates and living with him or her will show you things that you never knew about your friend. You should begin by addressing potential problem areas and getting them out in the open so that there will be fewer surprises down the road. Take some time to talk about habits and preferences.
Most roommate conflicts are the result of miscommunication or, in some cases, a total lack of communication. If you can communicate effectively it will be much easier to develop a comfortable living environment for yourself and your roommate.
These tips should help you to communicate in a healthy way with your roommate.
If you are upset with your roommate, chances are that he or she is upset with you as well. Being involved in a dialogue means that you need to be able to listen and give everyone a turn to speak. Criticism is bound to happen and your normal reaction is going to be to criticize back, but that is only going to compound the problem. Learning to accept criticism is going to help you communicate and live with your roommate. If you both find that you are approaching the limit and things are not being resolved, agree to take some time away from the discussion to give you both time to process what is going on. This will also give you each time to develop feedback that is not going to be hurtful and won't be fueled by anger.

How can I keep my guitar in tune when using the whammy ?
I have a Jackson Randy Rhoads limited edition guitar. Its a replica of his first Jackson he had made for him so it has the Vintage Style strat Tremolo System, But, I cant so much as tap the whammy without the guitar going completely out of tune. Ive always used Floyd Rose equipped guitars but this one just plays amazing and i'm going to use it as my main player. Only thing wrong as I mentioned is I cant use the tremolo. Is there a way around this ?
Locking tuners/ locking top nut would be a great idea as this will add a lot of stability to the string tension when you release pressure on the whammy. Also make sure that the springs have been set up correctly. You can do this by removing the backplate and checking that their is equal tension in all of the strings. Also make sure that the springs are set up in parallel. What I mean by this is that 2 of the springs shouldnt be going to 1 side of the block as this will cause an inbalance in tension. If all of this fails then buy some more springs so that you can increase the tension that they are creating meaning that the tremolo shoud always return to the same point.
Alternatively you could take the guitar into a guitar store and ask them what they can do to fix it. They will more than likely be able to check the guitar over and make sure that nothing is wrong with it. After this they will probably fix the problem so that the tremolo works fine. To be honest though, you are better off taking it to a shop if you have no experience of dealing with fixing guitars as they will know what they are doing and they will definitely be able to fix it whereas you may cause more damage to the guitar

The classification rules of the International Federation for Sailing state that athletes with a physical impairment and athletes with a visual impairment are eligible to compete in the sport at the Paralympics.
Classification also groups athletes in classes, defined by the degree to which they are limited in their ability to perform activities within that sport.
The classification system for Sailing assigns a point score to each athlete based on the their ability to perform tasks specific to the sport.
Sailing has three categories of boat at the Paralympics; Three Person Keelboat, Two Person Keelboat and Single Person Keelboat. Each boat uses its own classification points system to make up a team.
Three-Person Keelboat: each athlete is assigned a point score between 1 and 7 based on the impact of the athlete's impairment to perform tasks on the boat. The lower the point score, the greater the impact of the athlete's impairment on their ability to sail. The total classification points of all three sailors must not exceed a maximum of 14 points.
Two-Person Keelboat: athletes are assigned a class of TPA if they have an impairment with a greater impact on their ability to sail. TPB athletes have an impairment with a lesser impact on their ability to sail. One TPA athlete and one TPB athlete make up the team of a Two-Person Keelboat
Single-Person Keelboat: the athlete must meet the minimum eligibility requirement for the sport, the equivalent of a point 7 in the Three-Person Keelboat.

Forum Index » GEAR » The New MSR MicroRocket -- Trail Report #2
It was a beautiful day in the Los Angeles area yesterday, so I decided to go on a hike. I journeyed up Angeles Crest Highway to the Waterman Mountain area.The day was clear and the views were stupendous.Of course, I took a few stoves along. :) Indeed, one of my main objectives for this hike was to test the new MSR MicroRocket stove at a relatively high elevation (8038'/2450m).So, won't you please join me for The New MSR MicroRocket -- Trail Report #2?HJAdventures in Stoving
UPDATE I've added a technical appendix at the end of my blog post. I list the weights of seven different gas stoves as well as the length of their pot supports.HJAdventures in Stoving
Hi JimYou are right to place good emphasis on the importance of the pot stability on top of the stove. I once had a pot of near boiling water slide off a stove and was lucky not to scald my hand.Altho' some stoves are better than others, the main cause of the problem is the smooth bottom of the pot. MSR used to make pots with grooves on the base of the pot, unfortunately they were discontinued before I could get a set.My current solution has been to make a rim around the edge of the base of a AGG pot. This has never slid off, even when the stove is not level at all.
Hi, Stuart,A rim around the edge of the pot is brilliant. I've had pots of water fall off my cooking set up on three occasions. I no longer use beer can pots for that reason although I know there are some set ups that are fine.The old Camping Gaz GT106 stoves had an upturn on the end of the pot supports, which was also brilliant but did limit the size of the pot that one could use.Pot stability is generally pretty subjective. That said, I found that the number of supports mattered. In general, stoves with four supports had better pot stability with larger pots than those with three. The GS-100 has the shortest pot supports of any of the small gas stoves I tried, but I found that it had excellent pot stability.HJAdventures In Stoving

Surely one of the best one can find in Kuressaare, situating right in the old part of the town.
Favorite Dish: Also has restaurant and hotel locating besides. The right way actually would be to say the oppsoite way, - that the bakery is owned by the restaurant and the hotel. But just in case you might find the restaurant to be either a bit too fancy or expensive, their bakery with reasonable prices is a great place to have your meal as well.

US basketball hit by injury bug, deadline for final lineup moved
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado — US Olympic men's basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo is thankful for a few extra days to consider a final roster after a flurry of injuries during the NBA playoffs.
Miami's Chris Bosh, out indefinitely with a strained abdominal muscle after an MRI exam on Monday, became the latest question mark for the Americans as they prepare a lineup to defend their 2008 gold medal at London in August.
Those definitely out of the Olympics include Derrick Rose, last year's NBA Most Valuable Player for Chicago, Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard, Chauncey Billups of the Los Angeles Clippers and LaMarcus Aldridge of Portland.
The US Olympic Committee has granted USA Basketball a deadline extension to name their final 12-man lineup, that decision now coming July 7 rather than in mid-June during the NBA Finals.
"We felt that it would be in the best interest of our selection process to give ourselves more time to finalize the USA roster," Colangelo said.
"We want to remain flexible and see how things play out during the NBA playoffs. In addition to the unfortunate injuries suffered by four of our players, we anticipate that other finalists will advance deep into the playoffs and we also anticipate having to consider some free agency developments.
"Doing it this way will give us the opportunity to look at the status of every player who is involved in our program."
The team will gather July 5 in Las Vegas to start an Olympic training camp and will conduct two practices before final decisions are made. After a series of pre-Olympic exhibitions, the team will have a final deadline to submit Olympic rosters of July 27.
Even with the injury losses, the Americans will be favored for Olympic gold.
Their line-up could include such superstars as Miami's LeBron James, named this season's MVP on Saturday, Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant and Los Angeles Clippers stars Chris Paul and Blake Griffin.

Governor's Proposed Budget Could Increase Pain at the Pump
By: Shannon Murphy
Updated: February 6, 2013
It seems to be the never ending battle at the pump and many feel the consumer always loses. Nate Wilcox says he drives a lot for work and his bank account notices anytime gas prices soar, "I drive a lot and another 20 cents on top of what $3.75? Yeah that could hurt."
Governor Tom Corbett unveiled his proposed 2013-2014 budget Tuesday and many eyes are on his transportation plan. Its two fold; he's pushing to drop the liquid fuels tax by two-cents over the next two years as well as increase the wholesale tax that gas stations pay on gas.
Governor Tom Corbett said in his speech in Harrisburg, "It is time for oil and gas companies to pay their fair share of the cost of the infrastructure supporting their industry."
Critics of the plan are concerned fuel companies will pass part of that new tax load onto consumers. Some projections say that could raise prices at the pump as much as 20 cents a gallon. Hannah Cave is a student working part time. She says she can't afford to pump anymore money into her tank, "It's going to be hard. You're going to have to work so much more and its going to be so expensive."
Governor Tom Corbett says his transportation plan, over several years, will raise billions of dollars which could be used to fix the state roads and bridges.

About This Wine
PURE Merlot is a pure expression of California's Lake County winegrowing region.
Within Lake County (north of the Napa Valley), the Clear Lake appellation is the largest defined vineyard area. It completely surrounds the lake for which it's named, and its perimeter has around 9,000 acres devoted to grapevines.
And within the Clear Lake appellation you'll find the Red Hills District, where such famous names as Beringer, Kendall-Jackson and Beckstoffer are attached to the vineyards. More than half of the grapes used to make the 2007 PURE Merlot were grown in the Red Hills, where the soils are of volcanic origin from neighboring Mount Konocti.
When we say that the wine is "pure," we mean exactly that. It's a 100-percent varietal wine, meaning that its entire aroma and flavor spectrum — sans a hint of spice from aging in oak barrels — comes from Merlot grapes. Dense, rich, luscious, concentrated and layered, the 2007 PURE Lake County Merlot provides pure drinking pleasure.
About Merlot
Similar to Cabernet Sauvignon but with less tannin and fruit. Delivers earlier maturing wines. Often blended with Cabernet; on its own may soften with age, though fruit flavors may fade.

The phone SW reinstallation in Nokia Suite doesn't unfortunately currently touch the preinstalled applications like browser, at all. We are working on getting that fixed, but thay will take some time. Meanwhile the best solution is to take the phone to a Nokia Care point and tell them to refurbish & reflash the phone.
