Angie Moore had always envisioned retiring to a horse farm, but as a single mom raising four children in a modest home in Linthicum, her dream was a distant one. Then ironically, one of the darkest times in her life led to her dream becoming a reality. In 2003, her mother, Glenda Johnson, died unexpectedly. Johnson's life partner, Aris Melissaratos, who acted as a father to Angie and her brood, offered to buy the brokenhearted family a horse farm where they all—including Melissaratos—could start a new life together. While only 13 at the time, Moore's daughter, Sabrina, headed up the search for real estate.
"My grandfather told me to look on the Internet," recalls Sabrina, now 18.
It didn't take Sabrina long to find a suitable farmhouse, but when the family took a Sunday drive to see it, they discovered the house had yet to be built. As luck would have it, just around the corner in the same Glyndon neighborhood, a magnificent, 14,000-square-foot, seven bedroom Georgian-style estate set on 44 acres of rambling farmland was for sale. The only problem? The asking price of $3.9 million.
A year later, the price had dropped considerably. "One day, Sabrina came running up from the basement," recalls Melissaratos, the senior adviser to the president of The Johns Hopkins University. "She said, 'The house is cheaper now. It's only 2.5 million!' So we bought it."
As Melissaratos eats lunch in the red and yellow French Provincial kitchen overlooking a pool area designed by Disney Imagineering, Moore looks lovingly at the man she and her children affectionately call Papou (Greek for "grandfather").
"My mom and I were very close, and her death took a lot out of me," says Moore. "For a couple of years, I was really down in the dumps, but living here has really helped me feel like my old self again. I think that's why Papou did this for all of us—to try and start over again. To create memories somewhere else."
Moore and Melissaratos threw themselves into decorating a home now suffused with light, life, and luxurious sophistication. And although Melissaratos, the former head of the Department of Business and Economic Development, doesn't live in the house—he has a home in Linthicum—he visits daily. He also uses the home to entertain business associates and host charity events benefiting such causes as Cystic Fibrosis and the American Heart Association.
"I wanted a place I could bring my friends and political connections," says Melissaratos. "We've hosted more than 2,000 people here."
Clearly, Melissaratos's greatest act of generosity has been helping his beloved surrogate daughter along the road to recovery.
"We moved here in 2006," says Moore, "and three years later, it's still unbelievable to me that we live here—I always thought I'd have a horse farm, but one of your typical little country ranchers with a red barn. I never imagined we'd live in something this grand. Being here has helped me heal so much, and my father has been my guardian angel. I am grateful for this house and for him every day."

Fir (Abies) is a genus of 48–55 species of evergreen coniferous tree in the family Pinaceae. It is found through much of North and Central America, Europe, Asia, and North Africa, occurring in mountains over most of the range. Firs are most closely related to the genus Cedrus (cedar); Douglas firs are not true firs, being of the genus Pseudotsuga.
All native species reach heights of 10–80 m (30–260 ft) tall and trunk diameters of 0.5–4 m (2–12 ft) when mature. Firs can be distinguished from other members of the pine family by unique way of attachment of their needle-like leaves and by their different cones.
Identification of the species is based on the size and arrangement of the leaves, the size and shape of the cones, and whether the bract scales of the cones are long and exserted, or short and hidden inside the cone.
Firs can be distinguished from other members of the pine family by the unique attachment of their needle-like leaves to the twig by a base that resembles a small suction cup.
The leaves are significantly flattened, sometimes even look like pressed (A. sibirica).
They have 2 whitish strips on the bottom, each of which is formed by wax-covered stomatal bands. The upper surface of leaves usually is uniformly green, shining, without stomata or only with few at their tips, visible as whitish spots. Some of species however have upper surface of leaves dull, gray-green, bluish-gray to silvery, coated by wax with variable number of stomatal bands, not always continuous. An example species from first group is A. alba, second one A. concolor.
Tips of leaves are usually less or more notched (A. firma), sometimes rounded or dull (A. concolor, A. magnifica) or sharp and prickly (A. bracteata, A. cephalonica, A. holophylla). More sharp are leaves of young plants.
The way they spread from the shoot is very diverse, only in some of species comb-shaped, with the leaves arranged on two sides, flat (A. alba) [2]
Firs differ from other conifers in having erect, cylindrical cones 5–25 cm (2–10 in) long that disintegrate at maturity to release the winged seeds.
In contrast to spruce, even large fir cones do not hang, but are raised like candles.
Mature cones are usually brown, young in summer can be green, for example:
or purple and blue, sometimes very dark:
- A. fraseri, A. homolepis (var. umbellata green), A. koreana ('Flava' green), A. lasiocarpa, A. nephrolepis (f. chlorocarpa green), A. sibirica, A. veitchii (var. olivacea green). [2]

Uses and ecology[edit]
The wood of most firs is considered unsuitable for general timber use, and is often used as pulp or for the manufacture of plywood and rough timber. Because this genus has no insect or decay resistance qualities after logging, it is generally recommended for construction purposes as indoor use only (e.g. indoor drywall framing). This wood left outside cannot be expected to last more than 12 to 18 months, depending on the type of climate it is exposed to. It is commonly referred to by several different names, including North American timber, SPF (spruce, pine, fir) and whitewood.
Nordmann Fir, Noble Fir, Fraser Fir and Balsam Fir are popular Christmas trees, generally considered to be the best for this purpose, with aromatic foliage that does not shed many needles on drying out. Many are also decorative garden trees, notably Korean Fir and Fraser Fir, which produce brightly coloured cones even when very young, still only 1–2 m (3–6 ft) tall. Other firs can grow anywhere between 30 and 236 feet tall. Fir Tree Appreciation Day is June 18.
Firs are used as food plants by the caterpillars of some Lepidoptera species, including Chionodes abella (recorded on White Fir), Autumnal Moth, Conifer Swift (a pest of Balsam Fir), The Engrailed, Grey Pug, Mottled Umber, Pine Beauty and the tortrix moths Cydia illutana (whose caterpillars are recorded to feed on European Silver Fir cone scales) and C. duplicana (on European Silver Fir bark around injuries or canker).
Abies spectabilis or Talispatra is used in Ayurveda as an antitussive drug.[citation needed]

Reinforce the joints when assembling flat-pack furniture. Flat-pack furniture is often flimsy, but you can easily strength it by adding 1x2s or 2x2s and glue to joints.
Flat-pack furniture is the type that comes in a flat box and requires assembly. Some brands are better than others, but cheaper versions can get wobbly or fall apart the first time you move them. That doesn't always mean the furniture is a total loss. With some 2x2s and 1x2s, screws and a bit of glue, you can reinforce and save the piece to live another day. It's the connections that generally fail because the particleboard just isn't as strong as real wood. Use any or all of these tips to strengthen the connections and help your furniture last.

(CNN) - Tens of thousands of JetBlue customers were inconvenienced by flight delays and cancellations amid the severe weather of the past few days.
Now the airline wants to make amends as passengers are finally reaching their final destinations.
The airline is trying to get back on track following their unpopular decision to ground all planes scheduled to depart from the New York City area and Boston airports Monday night into Tuesday.
"I had to find out through the news that my flight was...that they shut down completely," passenger Krista Hobislan said.
JetBlue canceled more than 1800 flights since Thursday, stranding thousands of passengers in the U.S. and the Caribbean, and bruising the public's opinion of the airline. Now it's in damage control.
"I absolutely think we did the right thing because when you're doing things for safety reasons, not only of our people but of our assets and inevitably of our customers, I think we're doing them the best service possible no matter how hard the short term pain is," the JetBlue COO said.
In a conference call with reporters Tuesday the airline said cancellations impacted 150,000 passengers. Operations are returning to normal. But JetBlue predicts the backlog could still take another day to work through.
"I got the last seat, first flight out," customer Sandy Tassinari said.
Almost every major airline was impacted by the now infamous polar vortex, but JetBlue beared the brunt of the criticism.
"The vast majority of their flights are to and from the northeast and I believe the plurality are from JFK, they were more effected than the carriers that they are being compared with," Daniel Baker with FlightAware.com said.
JetBlue has a history of weather troubles. In a 2007 storm passengers sat for eight hours on the tarmac in New York, prompting new federal rules. But the airline said it has changed and takes proactive steps to protect passengers.
"When weather is going to win, we let weather win," the COO said.
To make good with angry passengers, JetBlue is offering passengers compensation based on how many times their flights were canceled.
One cancelation, 5,000 frequent flyer points or $50 dollars, customers can get up to 20,000 points and round trip flight credit or $200 dollars for 4 or more cancellations.

OUCH!!! (Part 2)
Since I already posted twice last night, today's posting will be rather short. I mean, really, how much do you want to read about another Twins loss to the Yankees of New York? But, I did want to leave a few comments, and then link to a couple of other articles. So, don't forget to check out the other postings, my American Idol Thoughts and highlights of last night's minor league games.
So, the Twins lost again to the Yankees. They were completely dominated. Here are a few thoughts:
Yesterday, I received some scrutiny for being lenient on Sidney Ponson's Monday night performance. In reality, I don't think as bad as his pitching line showed. Was it a good performance? No. But is wasn't enough to waste a million dollars and drop him right away.
Another reason that I didn't bash Ponson too much was because I knew that Boof Bonser was pitching on Tuesday night. The second year man would have to face that same Yankees lineup. If he was bad, would I have to say that he wasn't really a big league pitcher and should be sent to Rochester? If having a bad outing against this Yankees lineup is grounds for demotion, who is going to pitch in the big leagues?
And yes, Boof Bonser was not good last night. He just fell behind in the count far too often and had to come back with strikes that were just too good. In just 4.1 innings, he gave up seven runs on six hits and two walks. Unlike Ponson, Bonser did not really have a good stretch either.
So... why am I more lenient with the young guys than the veterans usually? That's really an easy question. Because we know what the ceiling is with guys like Ponson and Carlos Silva. And it isn't good. Their career track record tells us what they will be. With the young guys, we don't really know their ceiling. If you were to do a productivity trendline of their careers, the arrows for those veterans are level, or even downward. For the young guys, that arrow still points upward!
He gave up two home runs, and yes, one was to Alex Rodriguez. Seriously, Yankees fans... get over whatever it is that makes you not like him.
As I have mentioned before, I find that Dick Bremer and Bert Blyleven can be very annoying, yet can be very entertaining. Bert Blyleven is Mr. Cliche. Does anyone else think it is annoying the way he talks about advancing runners from 2nd to 3rd with less than two outs? Before Johnny Damon connected for his three-run homer that gave the Yankees a 6-0 lead, Blyleven kept talking about how with runners on 1st and 2nd, Damon would probably bunt. I just kept thinking about how stupid that was, particularly with the control issues that Bonser was having. Fortunately, Roy Smalley was also involved in the broadcast last night. When Blyleven asked Smalley if bunting was the right decision there, Smalley actually disagreed, and a pitch later, the three-run homer. I just smiled! Then Blyleven talked about how, when you get behind, even a non-home run hitter like Damon becomes a threat to hit one out. Smalley came back by saying that Damon, in fact, has shown good power in recent years. He did hit 24 homers last year for the Yankees and has hit 20 or more homers in two of the last three seasons.
If you didn't notice, I am a huge fan of Roy Smalley and his analysis in the booth.
Michael Cuddyer is absolutely crushing the ball. Well, when he makes contact, he does.
Another game, another Jason Bartlett error.
Finally, a Chris Heintz appearance. You know, for a 1/2 inning of defense.
How bad is the Twins depth? I mean, really. Mike Redmond has been the team's DH for three straight games! That makes no sense! But in reality, what other options are there? I would actually like to see Mauer DH with Redmond behind the plate for a game. How about letting Alexi Casilla play 2B and have Luis Castillo DH for a day. Or, better yet, keep Jason Kubel in the lineup every single day!
Honestly, Luis Rodriguez would do as well as the team's DH as Mike Redmond! (by the way, he finally got into a game. I'm sure he is thinking, Thanks Gardy for giving me my first AB in two weeks, and it is against Mariano Rivera!)
It was nice seeing Kubel get his RBI pinch hit single. It was a broken bat hit that fell in perfectly. It is only fair because the night before, he hit the ball hard almost each time up and had nothing to show for it.
Have I mentioned that Alexi Casilla has an absolute rocket for an arm?
Dennys Reyes has returned to being Dennys Reyes so far this young season. Last year, he gave up just five earned runs the whole season. After allowing three more earned runs last night, he has given up five earned runs now this season. The primary problem has been simply throwing strikes. It's a long season, and maybe he is a pitcher capable of another solid season. But his season ERAs going back from 2005 were: 5.15, 4.75, 10.66, 5.33. Let's just say that there is a good chance that we will see Mike Venafro at some point this season!
One thing that has always bothered me since I was young was when people don't respect their opponent. I remember in high school (and I'm sure you can share similar experiences), we would face a soft-tosser. The guy would maybe throw 65 mph if he grunted. But somehow, in the 5th or 6th inning, we would have no runs on two hits. People would come back to the dugout saying, "Come On! This guy's got nothing!" I just remember thinking, "Maybe so, but he's doing the job and we aren't!" Well, instead of bashing our hitters, maybe we need to give a little bit of credit to Andy Pettitte. The guy is a great pitcher and has been for a long time. He is younger than you would think, but he is smart, veteran and knows how to pitch.
Here is a great look/analysis of Pat Neshek's Delivery over at The Baseball Think Factory. It is really interesting.
That is enough for today, right? Feel free to e-mail me or Comment below.

Payment method as debit card?
Can I use debit card to purchase items from iTunes Music Store or App Store? I do not have any credit card so wanted to use an Indian debit card. I am a holder of debit card of some bank in India. Is this possible? Once, when I'd tried to use debit card Apple declined to accept it showing me a message 'Invalid Card Number'. Why did this happen?

probably because apple is not taking in international credit cards. the best route is to indeed buy itunes card.
-if they are available in India locally, that should be the easiest route. -if not, try ebay. -and if you have friends in other country, ask them to buy one for you and send you a code. you can pay them via paypal, etc. |

---------- I believe that option is only available to the US. I also believe that is due to the fact Apple is US based and so are you. Another example is PayPal which is US based. Being in Canada I can only receive Canadian funds into my bank account even though I accept US funds on sales and have a US currency bank account. I am sure there are laws associated with it but am not totally familiar with them. Really sucks because I have to pay an exchange rate to convert to CDN from US. Worst thing is I am US citizen, transplanted in Canada and even that does not work to my advantage. |

SISSONVILLE, W.Va. -- Scoring goals has never been a problem for the Sissonville High School girls soccer program.
The Indians boast two of the top three goal scorers in the area this season and have the top three career goal scorers in Kanawha Valley girls soccer history: Lydia Murray (132), Rebekah Kendall (130) and Jennifer Povick (129).
However, thanks to some great Herbert Hoover defense led by goalkeeper Bailey Aab, it looked as though Sissonville might not dent the scoreboard for the first time all season on Tuesday night.
Madison Jones, however, got fouled inside the box with 11:42 remaining in the game, and deposited the only goal of the game into the back of the net on a penalty kick, allowing undefeated Sissonville to escape with a 1-0 victory over Hoover (15-4) at Joe Sawyers Field.
"I'll put it this way, it was ugly but we survived," Sissonville Coach Ali Sadeghian said. "Obviously they are a good team. They are highly ranked. They defended us very well and kept us off the goal. You have to give their kid (Aab) credit. She is amazing and does a good job for them."
With the victory, No. 2 Sissonville finished the regular season unbeaten at 17-0-3.
"This is one of the most memorable teams that I have had the last 13 years," Sadeghian said. "They have done a great job and I'm very proud of these girls. If you asked me about three months ago, I would not have said it would be an undefeated season but they did it."
After being frustrated throughout most of the game against Aab and the Hoover defense, Jones was happy to finally be able to deliver for her team with the clutch penalty kick.
"It was a little frustrating but eventually we realized one would go through, and it did," Jones said. "I was just trying not to second guess myself. It felt good because the rest of the season, I was 1-3 on PKs. I ended up changing how I kick it, and it worked. It got my confidence up."
Despite being on the losing end, Hoover Coach Brittany Woods didn't see it that way.
"In my book, we won it," Woods said. "We are walking out of here with our heads held high tonight. We are super proud and stoked. This isn't a loss for me.
"All of our defense shut them down tonight. We knew we would be in the game with such a great defense. All season long they have been great. We haven't had to show off how good Bailey Aab truly is because our defense does a fantastic job."

Merck rolls out new training program for Zilmax customers
- Tweet
- Share this
(Reuters) - Pharmaceuticals giant, Merck and Co., facing questions from the cattle industry about the effects of its Zilmax feed additive on the health of cattle, on Tuesday responded with plans for a new quality control program to ensure the popular weight-adding drug is properly used.
The news comes a week after Tyson Foods Inc. declared it would stop accepting Zilmax-fed beef given some cattle were observed arriving at its slaughter facilities with signs they were having difficulty walking or moving.
Tyson Foods, the nation's largest meat processor said the decision was not made over food-safety concerns, and the company said it did not know exactly what was causing the animals behavior, but Tyson officials said that animal health experts have suggested that the use of Zilmax may be one possible cause.
That, in turn, has Tyson's cattle suppliers faced with a choice of sticking with Zilmax and selling to other packers, or switching to a less-powerful alternative feed supplement, or even dropping the type of drug known as a beta-agonist such as Zilmax altogether.
Beta-agonists are a class of drug approved and deemed safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and long used by the livestock industry to add weight to cattle, pigs and turkey in the weeks before slaughter.
The class of drugs has come under scrutiny in recent months over concerns by Tyson, and JBS USA, another large cattle processor, when some animals were observed showing signs of distress and had difficulty walking after being fed beta-agonist additives. On Monday, Reuters reported that JBS USA's top animal health executive, at an industry conference last week. showed a video of cattle having difficulty moving and showing signs of lameness.
An FDA spokeswoman told Reuters Tuesday that the agency requires drug companies to report adverse drug events to the FDA. The agency declined to discuss whether it will investigate reports of animal behavior publicly discussed by Tyson and JBS in recent days.
While Tyson announced its change only last week, there are some signs that the company has quietly been expanding its supply of beef free of beta-agonists.
According to several feed lot operators interviewed by Reuters, the company began paying some feeders premium prices about six months ago to supply cattle that had not been fed beta-agonists.
A feed operator in Kansas, who declined to be identified by name because of concerns that "this could be a big political issue," said he plans to discontinue Zilmax use and instead exclusively use a competing beta-agonist, Eli Lilly & Co.'s Optaflexx.
"The whole deal don't matter to me one way or the other because their issue is not with Optaflexx," the cattle feeder said.
Herman Schumacher co-owner of L.D.L. Cattle Company, a 10,000 head privately-owned feedlot in Ipswitch, South Dakoa, said he has raised cattle free of beta agonists since beginning the business in 1986. Six months ago, he said, Tyson without any explanation began offering him a premium on cattle that had never consumed beta-agonists.
Schumacher said he expects Tyson's rivals to discontinue the use of beta-agonists, too. "Other packers have not floated out of this (Zilmax) yet, but with Tyson taking the lead on this I think the others will follow," he said.
The National Cattlemen's Beef Association, the beef industry's trade group, said in a statement said its members base their feed decisions "on science, not speculation. At this time, there is no scientific basis for saying the use of beta-agonists caused the animal welfare concerns cited by Tyson in their decision to stop buying cattle fed Zilmax."
After Reuters' report Tuesday, Merck's animal health unit said it will require cattle feeders that use its drug Zilmax to undergo additional training as part of a five-step plan to deal with mounting questions over possible negative effects from the drug.
The company also said in the next 30 days it will re-certify feed lot operators that use Zilmax, a process designed to make certain customers safely use the drug when feeding cattle. Merck also will launch what it termed a "scientific audit" that will follow Zilmax-fed cattle from the feed yards to the packing plant to determine potential causes of lameness and other mobility issues seen by Tyson and JBS.

By Ruth Mantell, MarketWatch
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Consumer sentiment declined in June as expectations about the economy fell, according to the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan survey released Friday.
Don't look now, but there's some bipartisan agreement in Washington over taxes.
The consumer-sentiment gauge fell to 71.5 at the end of June from 74.3 in May. A preliminary June reading had pegged sentiment at 71.8.
The sentiment reading, which covers how consumers view their personal finances as well as business and buying conditions, averaged about 87 in the year before the start of the most recent recession.
"This still-rocky environment is still hurting" confidence, wrote Jennifer Lee, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, in a research note. "Confidence about the current environment surprisingly perked up, but as far as expectations go ... well, not so much."
Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had expected a final reading of 72, with sentiment weighed down by weak employment data and lower stock prices, offsetting lower prices seen lately for gasoline at the pump. See economic calendar.
"We had expected lower gas prices to provide some offset to these drags, but not enough to ultimately push the headline index higher," wrote Barclays Capital analysts in a research note.
The expectations barometer declined to 64.8 in June from 69.5 in May, while the gauge of current economic conditions ticked higher to 82 from 81.9. One-year inflation expectations fell to 3.8% from 4.1%.
Earlier this week, a separate report showed that consumer confidence fell in June to the worst level in eight months on concerns about employment and income.
The Conference Board's consumer-confidence index fell to 58.5 for the month from an upwardly revised 61.7 in May. Generally, when the economy is growing at a good clip, confidence readings are at 90 and above.
Fireworks business is a bright spot
Julie Heckman of the American Pyrotechnics Association says a weak economy isn't burning the fireworks industry.
The Conference Board's report is more sensitive to the labor market, while the Michigan sentiment reading is more sensitive to financial markets.
Also Friday, a report from the Institute for Supply Management indicated that conditions for the nation's manufacturers picked up in June, with improvement in the key employment index. Read more about surprisingly upbeat ISM data.
On Wall Street, investors keyed on the ISM data, bidding shares broadly higher for a fifth straight session, paced by the Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449/realtime DJIA +0.19% . Read more about advance in U.S. stocks to kick off the third quarter on a bullish note.

During a routine safety checkpoint on Oct. 4 at the interection of SE Ninth and Elliott Streets, the driver of a 2001 Dodge truck was asked for his driver's license and insurance verification.
The driver, Buff Chisolm, 20, Vinita, said he did not have a driver's license but did have insurance. The officer conducting the check, Sgt. Justin Couch, asked Chisolm to pull his car into the fire department parking lot so they police run his information.
"I asked him exit the pickup and asked him to go to my patrol car so I could continue getting all his information," Couch reports in the probable cause affidavit. "I went to pat him down for my safety and he jerked away from me and started to flee."
Couch began to chase Chisolm on foot. When he caught him, Chisolm began to push Couch and jerk away before being cuffed by Officer Jeff Mitchell.
Mitchell said he found a large baggie containing 13 smaller baggies of marijuana that weighed 18.7 grams. Each of the smaller baggies, they said, weighed 1.5 grams. Chisolm said he ran from the officers because of the marijuana in his pants pocket.
"Chisolm stated he bought the marijuana already packaged individually but he doesn't sell marijuana, he just gives it to his friends if they want some," Couch stated.
During the incident, court records report that Chisolm offered Couch a gift of $10,000 not to arrest him. Couch declined the offer.
Chisolm appeared in Mayes County District Court Monday for arraignment. Judge Rebecca Gore read the defendant his charges, unlawful possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute, atempting to bribe an officer, resisting an officer and driving without a driver's license. Gore informed him the possession charge can carry up to 10 years in the department of corrections.
Chisolm is also charged with another felony count of a controlled dangerous substance, methamphetamine, occurring Oct. 12. Chilsom was arrested on one charge and was out on bond when allegedly committing the second offense.
Because he was charged with a second offense, the state increased bond on the first charge to $10,000. Bond was set at $10,000 on the second charge as well. Chisolm's case was continued to the preliminary hearing sounding docket Nov. 21.

Missouri's Special Legislative Session Comes to an End
Missouri's special legislative session is over. It came to an end after several weeks of disagreements between the House and Senate over a wide-ranging tax credit bill.
By Marshall Griffin (St. Louis)
Seven weeks to the day after Missouri lawmakers returned to Jefferson City, the special legislative session has ended without passage of an economic development bill. President Pro-tem Rob Mayer adjourned the State Senate from the session, despite the House voting last week to go to conference to negotiate a final version of the bill.

User Review: Osprey Sirrus 36
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $112
Wonderful pack! Great layout, perfect fit, and an awsome warranty.
- Women's specific fit
- Layout
- Durability
- Didn't come with hydration bladder
I recently purchased this pack as a day pack/ overnight pact. I am in love! Need I say more?
First of all the women's specific fit is dead on. I knew going into the purchase what features I was looking for and was not willing to drop the cash unless it meet or exceeded my expectations. This pack goes far beyond.
The pack sits perfectly on my back, size small fits me at 5'2" and 135 lbs, and the straps are positionsed so that they are not in the way and I dont have to keep adjusting them.
Next, the features that stand out most to me are the entry ways into the pack. With a large drawstring entry items can be packed and cinched down, but there is also a zip out portion that allows for access to such items whithout unpacking everything and undoing the drawstring, example I need my fleece it has gotten colder, I can unzip get fleece and be on my way with out unloading everything and repacking, big plus in my book.
It also has a rain cover built in, as well as nice pockects on the hip belt and straps, being a diabetic and needing to haul supplies and get to them quickly, this is really nice. I don't have to take my pack off to get to check my sugar and get a snack. It is right there so I never miss a beat. They are also very comfortable, another big plus!
The only downside is that the hydration bladder is a seperate purchase. Not too big of a deal, just would have liked it to be included. Did not change my mind about the purchase.

so are we saying we still have a chance of a trade bringing chris kaman to charlotte ??
it seems that GS, LA Clip, Knicks are all done with their trades...i don't think anything else is happening.. ?
so are we saying we still have a chance of a trade bringing chris kaman to charlotte ??
it seems that GS, LA Clip, Knicks are all done with their trades...i don't think anything else is happening.. ?
I think the only moves we will be making is playing DJ and Ajinca in the starting lineup tonight.All this talk got me hyped up for nuttin.
Well, at least 1/2 of it came true. but it isn't our half. No Kaman, no wins, no happiness today in BCP land.
I don't think Kaman was the "odd man out" anyway they'll probably keep their big man glut like the other LA team.
RIP Michael Jackson & Steve McNair
idk....could it be posturing? maybe charlotte is trying to get it done w/o sending wallace and l.a. wants wallace. there just seems to be too much smoke between us and l.a. for this not to happen. as much as i want kaman, i feel that you almost need an athletic guy of crash's status out there. if wallace is the guy that goes out, that would put a front court of ammo/okafor/kaman out there with eo50 playing out of position. who knows...maybe if dj keeps it up, we ship felton+something out later on for an athletic 3.
Well from what Ive read about us not even talking to them now, I'm not really expecting it anymore, all this talk and nothing comes of it, kind of upsetting to me tbh...But I can still hope we could get Kaman in Charlotte...
I figured this likely had no legs and had to make an effort not to get worked up about it. No Kaman deal works for me...lets keep Wallace.
If we got Kaman for Wallace; we'd just be deficiant at SF then. Dudley and Ammo are not the answer. If we put JRich at SF we'd be deficiant at SG......we just need a few players; but not necessarily through lateral trades. I don't really think we have the depth at any position for that.
Plus Okafor still has to prove he can play PF. I thought he did reasonably well doing that against the Hawks. It should be interesting to see if he can expand his game; but I'm wary.

French creperies in Central Jersey?
Does anybody know of any creperies around the Old Bridge/Matawan area in Central Jersey? I've tried Internet searches but was unsuccessful. I'd appreciate any suggestions!
Cafe Paris in cranford. Sweet and savory, maybe a bit too far for you, but if you want to take a trip.
re: doggiedoc
Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I used to go to Cafe Paris is Cranford when I lived in Westfield. The crepes there are amazing! When I moved they weren't open anymore so I assumed they closed down for good. I'll have to make a trip up there and to the sister restaurant as well.
I've personally never been (it's on my to do list!), but I've heard that Cafe Paris on Main St in Metuchen has some yummy crepes...it's not too far from Old Bridge/Matawan.
Let me know if you check it out! -
Around here? Can't think of any. But there's a place in Atlantic City (Cavo), there's
in Ocean City. I had a crepe on the boardwalk in Asbury Park (Crepe Shop) about 2 weeks ago, it was pretty good.
IHOP has crepes, but I'm pretty sure that's not what you mean. :) (And they're lousy!)

Filed under: Budget , Toyota To date, the best idea we have of what the 2014 Toyota Corolla will look like is the shape and styling of the Furia Concept from this year's Detroit Auto Show . Obviously the compact car will turn down the wick a fair bit from that orange machine, and now we have one more scintilla of an idea of what the final product will look like. Published today on Toyota's official Facebook page, the image above clearly shows the rear quarter of the 2014 Corolla S. Though the low angle is pretty wonky, we can make out that the shape of the taillight cluster is very similar to that of the Furia, albeit without the same LED treatment, A hint of a trunk-lid spoiler is also in evidence, and also follows the Furia's lead. Toyota points out that the new Corolla will be shown in earnest on June 6. Expect to see the full version of the car by that date at the latest – online leaks have a tendancy to speed these things up. 2014 Toyota Corolla shows just enough to keep us interested originally appeared on Autoblog on Tue, 21 May 2013 13:28:00 EST.

CubismCubism remains perhaps the single most important development in the history of twentieth-century art. It was the creation of just two artists, Georges Braque, a Frenchman, and Pablo Picasso, a Spaniard, between the years 1907 and 1914. Working alongside each other in Paris, then the artistic capital of the world, they invented a way of making pictures and sculptures that broke with conventions established five hundred years earlier in the Renaissance. Their new art drew on the ruptures that had taken place in the previous decade (especially the work of Paul Cezanne) and also on their new ways of seeing non-Western art. Cubism was an idea of such power and flexibility that it spread across Europe and America with astonishing speed. Its enthusiasts include many great names in modern art -- such as Juan Gris, Fernand Leger and Marcel Duchamp. Cubism penetrated artistic activity far beyond painting and sculpture: it reinvigorated architecture, graphic design, music and poetry; it transformed the possibilities of photography and film. This exciting book covers the full range of its influence. |

Is there a way to sync a customizable guide? I have went through and made a custom guide in our bedroom on the HR34. I'd like to have that same guide on three other h21's. Can I port the guide on the HR34 somehow or do I have to take the time to customize each guide on each box. Thanks I searched the forums before posting and didn't see a previous thread on this.

YEAR IN FILM American cinema lost several of its troubadours this past year: genuine independents like Robert Breer, Owen Land, Adolfas Mekas, Richard Leacock, Jordan Belson, and George Kuchar. Critical appraisal of these sui generis filmmakers tends to rest upon masterpieces and technique, but several were also influential as teachers.
Mekas founded the film department at Bard College, which today boasts a remarkable faculty including Peter Hutton and Kelly Reichardt. German filmmaker Helga Fanderl dedicated her San Francisco Cinematheque show earlier this fall to Breer, her mentor at Cooper Union. Leacock used his post at MIT in the 1970s to develop relatively affordable video systems for student filmmaking. Kuchar brought several generations of San Francisco Art Institute kids into moviemaking laboratories flying under banners like "AC/DC Psychotronic Teleplays" and "Electro-graphic Sinema." After Kuchar's passing SFAI professor and administrator Jeannene Przyblyski wrote, "I will very much miss waking up at night worrying about what might be going on in Studio 8."
Teaching remains an underappreciated aspect of the whole adventure of avant-garde filmmaking. The late 2010 release Radical Light: Alternative Film and Video in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1945–2000 (University of California Press) lovingly detailed the instructional incubators that have contributed to a long-flourishing Bay Area avant-garde, but one still hungers for more particular chronicles along the lines of "Professor Ken," Michael Zryd's contribution to Optic Antics: The Cinema of Ken Jacobs (Oxford University Press). Zryd persuasively links Jacobs' intensive teaching style at SUNY Binghamton to his thrilling feature-length frame analysis, Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son (1969). The story of the American avant-garde's alliance with the academy has everything to do with the mid-century college boom and the rise of theory, but this general view doesn't take into account those outlying autodidact instructors who reoriented the teacher-student exchange in much the same way that they called upon a different kind of spectatorship.
Among the many treasures in the SFAI archive's George Kuchar file are a couple of his syllabuses: "In this workshop atmosphere we all embark on making a moving picture using the equipment at school and ... whatever else falls into our hands." Class participation is what the class was. It's also discretionary: "Come as frequently as you wish so that we can showcase your unique talents or specialty acts and help us try to solve the many technical and creative problems involved in making moving pictures." Asked about his unorthodox teaching materials, Kuchar responded, "Am I going to show the students Potemkin and then talk about our class movies? With the kind of words I use and my accent? It'll be like sacrilege or something ... It's stupid anyway. Renting movies is expensive as hell, and you can put that money into making a movie."
Kuchar's creativity took a liberating form in the classroom. Elsewhere in the SFAI file, the filmmaker reflects upon having to rescue terrible class productions in the editing room. One laughs at first and then is touched that he considered these real movies, imperfect but necessary to see through.
Thanks for the Leo Tolstoy reference, which I had never heard of before. As the wayward student who shaved his beard, I can tell you that the experience of working with Nicholas Ray surpassed the end result.

The xhtml provides all the basics that the simple theme provides and adds several features.
The xhtml theme uses the "wrapping" technique described by Extending Themes. Let's look at how the HTML tags are wrapped by a standard header and footer. For example, in the text.ftl template, the controlheader.ftl and controlfooter.ftl templates are wrapped around the simple template.
The controlheader.ftl is referenced using ${parameters.theme} so that the code can be reused by the ajax theme.
Now let's look at the controlheader.ftl and controlheader-core.ftl. Again, these are split up for easy re-use with the ajax theme) contents:
The header used by the HTML tags in the xhtml theme is complicated. However, a close look reveals that the logic produces two behaviors: either a two-column format or a two-row format. Generally the two-column approach is what we want, so that is the default option. To use the two-row approach, change the labelposition parameter to top.
Moving fieldErrors The fieldErrors, usually caused by Validation, are printed out as a row above the HTML form element. Some people prefer that the errors display elsewhere, such as in a third column. If you wish to place these elsehwere, overriding the headers is easy, allowing you to continue to use the other features provided by this theme. See Template Loading for more information on how to do this. |
The primary objective of controlfooter.ftl is to close the table. But, before the table closes, the template checks for an after parameter.
While "after" isn't an attribute supported by any of the Struts Tags, if you are using FreeMarker Tags, Velocity Tags, or the param tag in any template language, you can add an after parameter to place any content you like after the simple theme template renders. The after attribute makes it easier to fine-tune HTML forms for your specific environment.
Two xhtml templates of special interest are head and form.
The xhtml head template extends the simple head template and provides an additional CSS that helps render the xhtml theme form elements.
The head template imports a style sheet.
The closing template, form-close.ftl*:
