A 34-year-old St. Albans woman was struck and killed by a vehicle just before 8 p.m. on Thursday, authorities said.
Angela Oxley was walking eastbound along MacCorkle Avenue near Arborland Acres when she was struck by an eastbound ford F-150 truck, said Sgt. Michael Baylous, spokesman for the West Virginia State Police.
"She was wearing dark clothing and walking on the traveled portion of the road," Baylous said. "She had with her a teenage daughter who was pulling a younger daughter in a wagon. They were uninjured."
Trooper J.A. Roach responded to the call.
"The driver stopped and it appears to be an accident," Baylous said.

Makin' Waves
By Sabrina James On
July 9, 2012
My fabulous friend Jesse has the best hair. Seriously, check her out above! I've recently noticed her rocking some gorgeous curls. She's a mama of two and I had to know how she did it, and more importantly, how she found the time. She raved about a "magical curling wand" from Target that turned her straight, thick hair into tousled curls in less than 30 minutes. I can't even imagine how fast my short, fine hair would curl! I'm sold. See ya at Tar-jay!
Jesse's 4-step system for perfect beachy waves:
- Separate dry hair into four sections.
- Use the Conair Infiniti You Curl Wand to curl pieces from each of the sections.
- Spray each piece with TIGI's Bed Head Hard Head hairspray.
- Use fingers to lightly tousle curls... And go!

Liberty & Co. of Regent Street in London was well-known in the late nineteenth century as a purveyor of fine fabrics and eastern wares closely associated with the Aesthetic Movement. In 1884, they opened a costume department, producing garments that were strongly influenced by Rational dress theories and Aesthetic movement sensibilities. Garments like this one that bear the label of the Liberty & Co. Artistic and Historic Costume Studio are quite rare. Made of cream silk gathered into pleats with small puffed sleeves and smocking across the yoke, this blouse is an excellent example of historically-inspired artistic dress of the late 1890s.

Not as much as Florida, well more specifically, Miami. Spanish is the main language and you will get turned down from a lot of jobs if you can't speak it. And back to my main point, they all talk about how much better their country is than the US.

Florida as a whole? Maybe not. But as for Miami, it may have a higher percentage of hispanics than most cities in Texas. But most of the hispanics there are Cubans. So Texas may have a higher general Mexican population. Lol, just tell them if it's so much better, then go back.

Son, being rebellious and storming out of Mom and Dad's is one of the most American things you can do, aside from killing somebody with an apple pie gun in the shape of an eagle. The spirit of America is to rebel and storm off hastily whenever you don't like something. I'll take muh freedoms to leave when I want, like an American and a Texan!

Recording activity of bryologists was measured during the period 1947-2006 by the number of vice-county records published in the journals of the British Bryological Society. There were two phases of high activity, the first during 1952-1972 and the second during 1999-2006. The contributions of individual recorders were counted. The most prolific recorder was Jean Paton with 1,924 bryophyte records.

The line is already at my Target (it's a new Target that opened with the line) so I've been able to see alot of it in person. There are alot of beautiful evening things and cute jeans and lace tees.
Do what date these will appear in stores? Thanks!
Her line looks really cute, but unfortunately not terribly winter-weather appropriate….
I just went a newly opened Target and the stuff is cute! Lots of the pieces were already snatched up, especially the cute jackets. You can't really tell from the above pics, but you could totally mix and match things with jeans and skirts for work. I can't wait to go when it's released. I bet there will be a frenziiiiiii!
I saw the collection a few months ago at the Target showroom and it was VERY nice. Side note: I was preparing for a TODAY show segment and Stacy London of (What Not to Wear Fame) was also on the show that day. She was wearing a skirt that looked alot like the black lace white skirt from the Behnaz from target line. Of course her skirt was much more than $29.99

Kendrick Lamar Says He Wants Janet Jackson In "Poetic Justice" Video
Kendrick Lamar says he is trying to recruit Janet Jackson for the "Poetic Justice" video. A$AP Rocky says he supports TDE emcees as "brothers."
It's clear that there are some close ties between the TDE camp and A$AP Mob. It all begins with Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky. The two were recently on DJ Whoo Kid's show where they discussed their support for one another. During the itnerview, Rocky shared his take on whether Janet Jackson would do the "Poetic Justice" video with Kendrick and K. Dot explained his own wishes for the video.
"On some real shit, I think she'd do it to support the culture," Rocky shared of Janet Jackson's involvement with "Poetic Justice."
Kendrick Lamar took it from there, adding that it would be ideal.
"That's definitely been our idea since day one, since we did the song," he said. "We're trying to put it in the works. "
Rocky went on to explain more about his relationship with TDE emcees, saying that it's not about sales.
"It's genuine," he said. "We're really trying to support eachother as brothers."
More from the interview can be heard below.

Real Red Velvet Cupcakes
Categories: Baking Tips, Cakes, Desserts, Holiday, Recipes
Tags: , Allergy Friendly, Cupcakes, Dairy Free, Desserts, Red Velvet, Valentine's Day
When I set about to make my first Red Velvet cake, I did a lot of homework on the recipe. Red Velvet is a southern tradition, and I'm a southern girl, so I just had to get this one right!
I could find nary a recipe for Red Velvet in the first dozen cookbooks I poured over, though. This apparent scarcity heightened my interest, to be honest, which then sadly only increased my disappointment when I discovered that there is actually little mystique around making this cake. In fact, Red Velvet cakes are just chocolate or Devil's Food cakes with lots of red food coloring and gobs of white or cream cheese frosting! As anticlimactic as that may be, I was intrigued by this tidbit I unearthed: during World War II food rationing, boiled beets were used to enhance the red color of these cakes. Now that is interesting!
Let me take a moment to mention (at the risk of offending some) that I don't like beets. I hate to count myself among those who have maligned the beet through the centuries though. As one of my favorite dog-eared books, Cupboard Love: A Dictionary of Culinary Curiosities, describes in the history of this underappreciated root-vegetable:
[B]eets were planted every spring and harvested every fall; they were eaten regularly by every person in England; their tops and leaves were fed to thousands of hungry pigs; and yet it appears that not once did the beet inspire anyone who possessed pen, paper, and the ability to write, to jot down its name, even in passing.
So I decided to take another look at the somewhat unorthodox (to me, at least) idea of using beets in a cake recipe. It does seem like a far more natural way to get that beautiful red tint in a cake (food dyes never have thrilled me), and I really couldn't knock it until I gave it a fair shot, so I decided to craft my gluten-free Red Velvet recipe using beets and see where it led.
Upon taking this fork in my recipe road, I recognized that my cakes would be more dense and moist than a traditional layer cake. This type of recipe always performs better when baked in smaller sizes, like cupcakes (the same way quick breads heavy on the fruit, or using applesauce in place of some of the fats, work better as muffins).
If you are set on making a layer cake with your Red Velvet instead, I'd suggest using a lighter chocolate cake and simply adding 1-2 ounces of red food coloring (see my crowd-pleasing Chocolate Cake recipe).
You'll be proud of your results, and you can still avoid chemical food dyes if you like, by using a beet-based food coloring like the one from Seelect. It is all natural, and comes in 2 ounce bottles – you'll need to use the full 2 ounces for a real red color, so reduce other liquids in your cake recipe by the same amount. (Seelect also makes other natural food dyes using other vegetable and plant-based ingredients)
If you are up to trying the historic approach to Red Velvet though, join me in making these amazingly decadent — yet healthy — Real Red Velvet Cupcakes! The beets offer extra Potassium, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Phosphorus and Copper; and among other vitamins they are high in both vitamin C and Folate. So feel good feeding these gorgeous berry-colored treasures to your family with love this Valentine's Day, or on any yummy occasion!
- 1-2 cups pureed beets (4-8 medium-large beets)*
- 1/2 cup butter or non-dairy substitute, room temperature (e.g. Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks)
- 1 1/4 cup granulated cane sugar (e.g. Wholesome Sweeteners®)
- 3 eggs
- 2 tsp. gluten-free vanilla extract (e.g. Nielsen-Massey®; Kirkland®)
- 1 1/2 Tbs. apple cider vinegar
- 1-2 cups applesauce (no sugar added)*
- 1 1/4 cup milk, dairy or non-dairy vanilla milk (e.g. So Delicious® cultured Coconut Milk; Earth Balance® Soy Milk)
- 2 cups Jules Gluten Free™ All Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa (not Dutch Alkali processed)
- 2 tsp. gluten-free baking powder (e.g. Rumford®; Clabber Girl®; Hain®)
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
*Depending on how many beets you use, you can make up the difference with natural applesauce. For example, boiling only 4 medium-large beets will yield approximately 1 cup of beet puree. Supplement that amount with 1 cup of no sugar added applesauce. If using enough beets to make 2 cups of puree, add no extra applesauce. If you are concerned about there being a beet taste in your cupcakes, use only 1 cup of beet puree and 1 cup of applesauce.
Wash beets and remove greens. Boil until fork-tender, approximately 40 minutes for medium-large size beets. Drain and allow to cool. Peel skins off (they will come off easily once boiled) and puree in a food processor or mash until smooth. Measure puree to equal 2 cups (total beets + applesauce should be 2 cups, so if you have more or less puree, simply make up the difference with applesauce).
Preheat oven to 350 F (static) or 325 F (convection).
Cream butter and sugar until light. Add eggs, vanilla, cider vinegar, applesauce and cooled beet puree. Whisk together dry ingredients, then add to wet mixture, slowly pouring milk in, while mixing. Beat an additional 3 minutes.
Spoon batter into lined or oiled muffin tins, filling 3/4 full. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cake tester or skewer inserted into the center comes out nearly clean.
Makes approximately 24 cupcakes.
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1 cup butter, shortening or non-dairy alternative (e.g. Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks)
- 2- 8oz containers cream cheese, dairy or non-dairy (e.g. Follow Your Heart® soy cream cheese)
- 3 cups confectioners' or powdered sugar**
- 2 tsp. gluten-free vanilla extract (omit if you want bright white frosting)
- 1 1/2 tsp. lemon rind (optional)
**If you run out of powdered sugar mid-recipe like I did, never fear! Make your own powdered sugar by blending 1 cup granulated sugar + 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a blender until light. Easy fix!
Bring cream cheese and butter to room temperature, then cream together with remaining ingredients. If the frosting is not stiff enough, add more powdered sugar until the proper consistency is achieved.
(For extra fun, use the water from boiling the beets for tie-dye! A couple of pointers: use natural fabrics like wool or silk for best results, since fabrics like cotton will resist the dye and the colors will fade quickly; to help set the color, use a mordant. While the beet juice is a brilliant purple-red color, it will set in the fabric with a lighter brown hue and will not last without mordant).

Your recipes all look so great! Can I use this recipe or any others on your site with your flour mix in your Free For All Cookbook? We are also a corn/dairy/egg/sorghum free household. (Yes, it makes baking VERY difficult.)

Yes – you can use the homemade mix from my Free for All Cookbook with any of my recipes. Happy baking!
Tessa Campbell said: on February 19, 2011
I tried your red velvet cupcakes with pureed beets and they are incredible! Not as red as I thought the beets would make them, but knowing I'm not eating red dye is worth it, and knowing I've put a veggie in the cupcake is a great feeling. Great job on the recipe and thanks for sharing it! I was not sure how to puree the beets, so I put a drained can in my imitation "bullet" with the 3 eggs and it worked beautifully. 1 can of beets equals 1 3/4 cups, so I added 1/4 of applesauce to get to the 2 cups.

I like your tip on making your own powdered sugar. Didn't know you could do that just by blending granulated sugar and corn starch.

CIT Group: Economy Challenging Housewares, Brighter Days AheadThursday December 5th, 2013 - 10:21AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Despite ongoing challenges facing the retail sector and the economy, more than 70% of middle market housewares executives are forecasting stronger sales performance in 2014, according to a recent survey by CIT Group Inc. and Forbes Insights. While the outlook is positive, 50% indicate that the current economic conditions are placing a strain on financial performance, while 79% say their performance is closely linked to the U.S. economy. Despite these challenges, more than a third (38%) see increased demand for upscale, premium products. And a similar number (34%) say that they are pursuing sales with customers who desire upscale, ergonomic, leading-edge technology and "high design" products. There is movement in more modestly priced housewares products, too; 30% of manufacturers say that they are aggressively pursuing this market. "Manufacturers are telling us that they are seeing an uptick in demand [for housewares items], particularly in upscale items, and that's a very good indicator that the economy is rebounding," Jon Lucas, president of CIT Trade Finance, said. The survey also revealed that: Tags: economics • economy • recovery • housewares • retailing • made in america • executives • survey • cit group • forbes • payment • Housewares • Cookware & Bakeware • Vacuum Cleaners/Electric Cleaning • Health & Personal Care • Home Décor • Home Environment • Small Electrics • Organization & Cleaning • Tabletop • Gadgets & Kitchen Tools • Retail • |

More copies of this ISBNThis title in other editionsBlackbird: A Childhood Lost and Foundby Jennifer Lauck
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:With the startling emotional immediacy of a fractured family photo album, Jennifer Lauck's incandescent memoir is the story of an ordinary girl growing up at the turn of the 1970s and the truly extraordinary circumstances of a childhood lost. Wrenching and unforgettable, Blackbird will carry your heart away.
The house on Mary Street was home to Jennifer; her older brother B.J.; their hardworking father, who smelled like aftershave and read her Snow White; and their mother, who called her little daughter Sunshine and embraced Jackie Kennedy's sense of style. Through a child's eyes, the skies of Carson City were forever blue, and life was perfect — a world of Barbies, Bewitched, and the Beatles. Even her mother's pain from her mysterious illness could be patted away with hairspray, powder, and a kiss on the cheek...But soon, everything Jennifer has come to love and rely on begins to crumble, sending her on a roller coaster of loss and loneliness. In a world unhinged by tragedy, where beautiful mothers die and families are warped by more than they can bear, a young girl must transcend a landscape of pain and mistreatment to discover her richest resource: her own unshakable will to survive.

Synopsis:To young Jenny, the house on Mary Street was home — the place where she was loved, a blue-sky world of Barbies, Bewitched, and the Beatles.

But when everything that Jenny had come to rely on begins to crumble, an odyssey of loss, loneliness, and a child's will to survive takes flight....

Don't miss the boat – Office for £38.95 is ending soon
If this is your last year at Uni or College, don't miss out on this special students-only deal on Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 for only £38.95. You can only get it at www.theultimatesteal.co.uk and only while you've got a valid .ac email address. So before you leave and lose your .ac.uk email address get online and get genuine non-pirate software you can trust. You're going to need reliable and genuine software for those times you bring work home, and you might as well make it the latest versions.
You have to be quick as this price is ending on 30th June 2009 and you'll hate yourself if you miss out.
Look at what you get: the latest Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Outlook as well as Publisher, Access, Groove and OneNote. At £38.95, that's 90% off estimated retail price. But you've got to have a student or faculty email address with a .ac.uk domain from a UK higher education institution.
For only £40.95 you can get Microsoft Vista Ultimate Red Upgrade and feel good that you've made an impact on the treatment of HIV/AIDS in Africa. You'll be helping make treatment available because Microsoft will contribute US$10 (about £7) to the Global Fund to help fight HIV/AIDS in Africa.
Every US$50 (about £35) could buy 416 single dose treatments that help prevent transmission of HIV from mother to baby.
So if you're a student on the sidelines without the latest software grab a deal and feel good about yourself by upgrading with Vista RED Upgrade. To get this price for Microsoft Vista Ultimate Red Upgrade you have to go to www.theultimatesteal.co.uk.
A common question I'm asked and one I'm always happy to answer. There is also this video on YouTube. It neatly summarises the problems faced by IT departments with changing business needs and provides some insight as to how to strike the right balance. Additionally, it contrasts SaaS with S+S and helps to illustrate how an S+S strategy brings benefits to all parties in the solution. It's about choice.
For more detail on this, we have this link which demonstrates a S+S solution for providing a strategic communication platform for your institution
Exams have just finished (well, they have at Oxford, because it was on my local TV news station, who can't resist shots of people in gowns with beaming smiles). The wind down for the summer has hopefully started for some. But for many IT people in universities, it marks the beginning of planning for the next academic year, and the thinking on how your IT services will be developed for your users. So I thought this week might be a good time to share some training/planning resources for Windows 7 with you. I've watched a batch recently, and have been very impressed with the way that they explain the principles first, and the need for some of the new features, rather than just jumping straight into the usual "How to do it…" mode
The Microsoft Learning team have created a series of "Learning Snacks" – 15 – 30 minute videos – which talk through parts of Windows 7, and describe how to manage some of the new features. I know that plenty of you have downloaded and installed the Windows 7 beta onto a laptop, and these resources are just as useful whether you are one of those (gives some hints on what features are worth exploring a bit more), or if you haven't yet tried it, but want to understand what it might be able to do to grapple with common IT challenges that education faces.
Today we'll start with the introduction, which provides an overview of technologies that improve performance, reliability, security, and compatibility. And it also takes a look at how it may help reduce "operating cost" (does that mean giving you a bit more time to do the fun stuff, rather than rushing to desktops around campus fixing things?)
We both know that although our users are very sensible people, sometimes they do incredibly dumb things with their computers. It can be caused by ignorance, or it can be because they are so keen to get on with their jobs, that they throw caution to the wind. Here's a quick Vox Pop Quiz – see how many of these things have happened in your university (phew, it's anonymous!):
If you've ticked any of the boxes, then hopefully the following material will help you feel a warm glow of anticipation.
The 25 minute lesson covers BitLocker (which you may already know from Windows Vista, but it has added more control for easily securing pesky memory sticks) and AppLocker. It's AppLocker which I think will make you smile. It allows you fine granularity of control over what software can, and can't, be installed or run on your university-owned computers. It's more sophisticated than a "Lock it all down!" approach, and might be a good solution to allow you to devolve more control to staff over their 'own' laptops, without opening the floodgates to a software-installing-and-licensing nightmare.
Even though I can't claim to understand what a Hash Key is, I found the level and pace of the material perfect – it tells a very clear story, very well.
Continuing my thread of half-term learning snacks, this one's is shorter (only 7 minutes long), but talks about a feature which you may want to think about to help your academic staff.
Here's a scenario that may well have happened in your college:
It doesn't take much – okay, it probably only takes 10 minutes and them asking their own teenage child "Can you set this up for me" - for it turn from a secure laptop, to an open-for-business home file server – with hard disk shared with every other computer in the household. Next thing you know…
There are obviously two approaches to this. One is to lock it down, which I personally think removes the ability for staff to feel ownership. The other approach is to allow academic staff some flexibility and sense of ownership, but making sure that they don't wander into trouble. (Like accidentally sharing any confidential data with their own children!)
HomeGroup, in Windows 7, is a new feature which is designed to make things a little easier to manage. As well as enabling easier home networking (at last!), it also means that "domain joined" computers – ie your university laptops – can be connected to their home resources (like printers, and shared photos etc) without compromising the security of the files on the laptop.
Take a look at the "Creating a HomeGroup" chapter to see what it can do.
ps I used to work for a company which locked down our laptops – we got absolutely no control over software installation, and very restricted Internet access. As a result, most of us spent the time emailing files between home computers and work computers. If I wanted to write a presentation with images, I typically wrote it at home, and then emailed them to myself on my work laptop (even though it was sitting on the same desk). The same happened in reverse if I wanted to print something out. The IT people probably thought they had good security, but our workarounds probably drove a cart-and-horses through it!
This could be part of a "things you wish you'd heard about earlier…" series. If you're working within a UK university, then it's almost guaranteed that your university has signed a Microsoft Campus Agreement, and that this applies to YOU!
The deal, in a nutshell, is that you can place a bulk order, on behalf of employees at your university, for full copies of Office 2007 Enterprise for £6.93 each, for them to use on their home computer. Microsoft ship the software to you, and you can then recover the cost from staff who want a copy. But you here's the catch. The £6.93 offer is only open until the 15th June 2009. And it is for employees' home use only, not for your use within the university.

But you here's the catch. The £6.93 offer is only open until the 15th June 2009. And it is for employees' home use only, not for your use within the university.
The Campus Agreement comes with a feature called Software Assurance, and that includes a benefit called the Home Use Programme (HUP). This means employees of the university can normally buy Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 for £12.93 for their own home computer. HUP is mainly designed for business users of Microsoft software, to increase employee satisfaction, employee retention, and training and productivity. (I'll whisper this so that only the IT people hear - it's also been seen to reduce support costs).
The licence allows employees to use the software as long as they work for the organisation, and as long as the organisation is covered by Software Assurance. Unlike the similar "Work At Home" scheme, the employee is the one responsible for correctly licensing (ie you simply have to let them know when they should stop using it, you're not expected to enforce this).
It is easy to activate:
It's that simple.
And instead of paying £90 in a shop for Office Home & Student, your employees have Office Enterprise for their home computers for less than £7.
We've got HUP Information Packs sitting here in the office, with a resources CD to help promote it internally. If you want one, just drop James an email
I completely recognise that this deadline is very short. And I don't expect that you're going to be able to get all of your staff to decide whether they want a copy with just a fortnight to place your order. But a quick email around staff could quickly identify some that want it. And after the offer is closed, your staff can still order individually via the normal route (I'll write that bit up next) for £12.93.
You probably have heard about the Ultimate Steal before. It's the offer where students with a .ac.uk email address can buy a copy of Office 2007 Ultimate edition, for £38.95
UK students have some of the highest rates of usage of Microsoft Office in the world, and also one of the highest rates of 'mis-licensing'.
Okay, that's me being nice. The research tells us that some students know that 'borrowing' software from friends & parents isn't allowed. And the copy floating around on a blank DVD with a licence key number written on it may not quite be legit.
As we get near the end of the promotion, we've created some web banners that colleges and universities can put on their websites, to remind students that the deal is just about to close (at the end of June). This is especially handy for those who are just about to graduate – once they leave your hallowed halls, they return to a world where 'student deals' disappear, and they will end up paying a lot more for the same things. And that's true with software too. There's unlikely to be a better deal available for them.
If you want to tell your students about the deal, especially before they leave you for the big wide world, then you can download any of the banners below and put them onto your student portal.
Download from here, and then link them to The Ultimate Steal website for the UK
But first, some fascinating insights into which ones worked where in the world…
United Kindom
Last year we used this web banner in the UK, and we know that it was pretty successful. For some reason, UK students liked something that was between "dull" and "whacky" – in our research focus groups, they said that if we were too cool, it wouldn't be right.
United States
Students in the US seemed to respond better to a slightly plainer design. When experimenting with more graphical ones, the response rate dropped off a bit. Perhaps because they were mesmerised by the lovely colours?
Microsoft.com advertising
On www.microsoft.com, we found that students responded well to the "save 90%" message. But we were never sure if it was just students clicking it, or general visitors to the website. This is because the website is read by all kinds of people, whereas the other banners only went on websites read by students, such as university & college portals.
Oz was the interesting one. They found that students responded to something quite different. In fact, the whole marketing campaign in Australia was themed around "It's not piracy". And it worked very well.
We're starting to wonder, if we were able to run a student offer next year, whether this would be a fun idea for UK students.
What do you think?

[JURIST] President Bush repeated earlier calls [JURIST report] for a compromise immigration reform bill [JURIST news archive] that would satisfy the demands of both House and Senate leaders during a press conference [transcript] in Chicago Friday. After promoting the use of the voluntary Basic Pilot Employment Verification Program [backgrounder], an automated system employers may use to check the legal status of a new hire, Bush said:
The best way to deal with this problem [of immigration], in my judgment, is to say, look, you're here illegally, there's got to be a consequence. The consequence could be a penalty, a fine. It could be proof that you're not a criminal. In other words, there's got to be ways to say -- make restitution for society for breaking the law; but say to the person, you can get in the citizenship line, but at the back of the line, not at the beginning. See, there are people in line who want to become a citizen of the United States. It doesn't make sense to penalize those who are here legally, playing by the rules, to let people who have been here illegally get ahead of them.

P & K and pH management issues following drought
With a prolonged drought, low yields and less P and K removal will tend to increase post-harvest soil-test P and K levels, but at the same time less short-term recycling from maturing plants and crop residues will result in lower soil-test levels, mainly for K. Also, dry soil slows down the normal equilibrium between different soil nutrient pools, which often results in lower soil-test P and K levels, but most importantly for K. This is because plants are like pumps taking up P and K from the most available soil pools, and normal rainfall allows for a replenishment of the available nutrient pools from the less available pools. With dry soil, however, this replenishment is limited. So the end result from these three processes makes prediction of what will happen with soil-test values uncertain. Most likely, however, there will be significantly lower than normal soil-test K, and probably also some lower soil-test P results.
Very dry soil conditions may result in lower soil pH values (more acidic in neutral to acidic soils). Differences from of 0.1 to 0.3 pH units are common with very dry conditions. This is because small concentrations of soluble salts present in the soil solution are not leached by rainfall, which result in higher hydrogen ion concentration and greater acidity in the soil solution. On the other hand, the dry soil effect on Buffer pH, which is used to estimate lime requirement, is not large or consistent. Therefore, the main issue with dry soil is taking into consideration that the pH result may over-estimate acidity to decide if lime should be applied or not, but will not affect the amount of lime to apply.
Suggestions about what to do
1. Consider estimates of P and K removal with harvest to decide maintenance fertilization rates for the Optimum soil-test category. Also consider if more than expected P and K applied before this year's low-yielding crop can be accounted for the next crop.
2. Try to delay soil sampling until meaningful rainfall occurs because it will result in a better sample and more reliable soil test results. It is not possible to say how much rainfall would be helpful, but we believe it should be enough to thoroughly wet the sample depth for some time before sampling.
3. If you have to take soil samples with the current dry conditions:
- Be careful with sampling depth control and that you get the complete soil core.
- Soil K test results may be lower than they would be with normal conditions due to less recycling to the soil and less replenishment of the soluble or easily exchangeable soil K pools.
- Soil P test results probably will be affected little by the recycling issue.
- Soil pH test result may be a bit more acidic than in normal conditions.

Classiscsonline Home » Composers » D » Di Vittorio, Salvatore
Italian-born Salvatore Di Vittorio has achieved international recognition as a composer and conductor, hailed by Luigi Verdi of the prestigious Philharmonic Academy of Bologna, as a "lyrical musical spirit, respectful of the ancient Italian tradition…and an emerging leading interpreter of the music of Ottorino Respighi." He gained considerable attention with his orchestration and completion of Ottorino Respighi's rediscovered first Violin Concerto (in A Major), a commission he received from Respighi's family descendants and archive curator.
First noticed by chamber orchestras in Italy which premièred his early compositions, often in programs with Respighi's music, Di Vittorio has been acclaimed a "serious, lyrical and romantic composer…following in the footsteps of Ottorino Respighi." He then aroused national interest as Music Director and Founder of the Chamber Orchestra of New York "Ottorino Respighi" which débuted on October 11, 2007 at Zankel Hall, Carnegie Hall—one of the first fully-auditioned 'young professionals' orchestras in New York, dedicated (in part) to the Italian repertoire. Following the inaugural season finale, Vivien Schweitzer of the New York Times wrote: "The musicians played…producing a polished, rich sound…a stirring performance [of Mahler's Adagietto and]…a voluptuous rendition of Tchaikovsky's Souvenir…." In 2010, under the auspices of the Chamber Orchestra, he founded "The Respighi Prize" Music Competition with the City of Bologna.
Praised by renowned conductor Piero Bellugi for his compositions and elegance on the podium, Di Vittorio has been featured as composer and conductor by numerous orchestras: Accademia Musicale Siciliana, Teatro Massimo Opera (Palermo), Orchestra Filarmonica Franco Ferrara, Chamber Ensemble of Rome, Orchestra da Camera Fiorentina, Florence Symphonietta, Festival Sinfonietta Umbra (Perugia), Carnevale di Venezia Musica, Royal College of Music Symphony (London), Brussels Chamber Ensemble, San Jose Chamber Orchestra, Vancouver Island Symphony, State Symphony of Sofia (Bulgaria), El Hanager String Orchestra (Cairo), Danbury Symphony, Adelphi University Symphony and Metropolitan Youth Orchestra. His music is inspired by philosophical-programmatic themes and captivates each listener with poignant lyricism and magnificent orchestrations.
Di Vittorio's completion of Respighi's Violin Concerto was showcased along with his transcription/revision of Respighi's Aria and Suite for strings, his own homage Overtura Respighiana and first two Sinfonias on Naxos Records (8.572332 and 8.572333). The recordings were immediately successful on the international level, listed for several weeks on Gramophone Top 20 Classical Chart in London, honored as WQXR Classical Radio NY "Album of the Week" and "Album of the Month" in Italy (for June and July 2011). The music has also aired on RAI and BBC radio stations, and dozens of other stations in the U.S. and abroad.
Born in Palermo, Italy, Salvatore Di Vittorio studied composition with Ludmila Ulehla and (conducting with) Giampaolo Bracali at the Manhattan School of Music, and aesthetics (and ancient) philosophy at Columbia University in New York. He is a protégé of Francesco Carotenuto (Conservatory of Music "S. Cecilia", Rome), Piero Bellugi (Conservatory of Music "L. Cherubini", Florence), and John Farrer (Royal College of Music, London). A member of the Manhattan School of Music Alumni Board Council, Di Vittorio has taught at Adelphi University and Loyola School in New York City. His compositions are published by Edizioni Panastudio in Italy. Recordings of his music are available on the Naxos and Panastudio labels. He resides in New York and Palermo.

NewsCops crack down on high-risk drivers
Monday, May 7, 2012 - 12:43 PM If you're a regular on the roads, you can expect to see more police cars on patrol this month, especially at intersections. ICBC, the province and local police forces are targeting high-risk drivers during the month of May. A road safety manager with the ICBC, Jill Blacklock, told SunFM News it's a good time to conduct the campaign. "May is the right time of year, because it tends to be the time where more vehicles are on the road, more pedestrians are out and more motorcyclists as well." Blacklock said the police will focus on intersections, where 60 per cent of accidents occur, but she said they will be on the lookout for any careless driving. "What you can expect to see is more police pulling over drivers for behaviours that are risking both the person in the vehicle and those around them. Failure to yield the right of way, or following too closely or improper passing, it is these behaviors that tend to increase the chance of getting into a crash." Blacklock cannot predict how many tickets will be handed out this month but they expect police will catch more drivers breaking the rules of the road. Most Viewed Stories More Local

Dirty Little Secrets for Moms & Designers
3.31.08 | Jennifer Tolo Pierce | Art and Design, Design Desk
When the book Dirty Little Secrets from Otherwise Perfect Moms landed on my list, I didn't realize at first how close to home some of the "secrets" would hit. I should have known better. As I read the manuscript and set the text, I heard Lauryn Hill covering "Killing Me Softly with His Song": I felt he'd found my letters and read each one out loud. Yes, my two year old proudly announces, "That's mommy's water!" when he sees a bottle of wine. Yes, I often volunteer for a late night diaper run just so I can linger in the magazine section and catch up with Britney, Angelina, and the rest of the gang. Does a one year old really go to "school"? No, but it sure sounds better than "daycare."
But it was one woman's confession—"Sometimes I feel guilty for liking going to work so much"—that got me thinking. Work. Secrets. Surely moms aren't the only ones with secrets? And what better way to feel better about my imperfect self than to coax confessions of imperfection from my fellow designers? Some were a little shy about coming forward, but I know that they feel lighter of heart for having shared. Here are just a few Dirty Little Secrets from Otherwise Perfect Designers:
Sometimes I try to Command Z something and I'm not even at the computer.
Some of my best designs happened by mistake.
After all of these years as a designer, I still can't draw to save my life.
I never thought I'd shown design inclinations as a kid. But then I remember the greeting card business I started when I was nine and my obsession with creating the perfect monogram.
One night, after a week of long work hours, I dreamed of nothing but pulling green guides across a blank computer screen. For eight hours. Guide after guide after guide…
I can actually remember the days when design was all done by hand.
Nothing makes me madder than a poorly kerned billboard. Why would anyone want to advertise sloppy letter spacing at such a ridiculous scale?
When I'm visiting a friend's house and left alone in a room, I rearrange objects ever so slightly to make a more aesthetically pleasing display.
I make type too small on purpose, so that when a client says, "Make the type bigger" I can actually make it be the size I want.
I cried openly when I stepped into the Alexander Girard exhibit at the Cooper Hewitt. I felt like I'd found home.

GHRI-Tested GPS Navigators
See how the Good Housekeeping Research Institute tested and evaluated the top GPS systems on the market and check out the reviews.
Special Offers
Want to make sure you don't get lost whenever you hit the road? A Global Positioning System (GPS) can make sure you reach your desired destination and is an especially helpful device if you have difficulty reading maps or hate asking for directions. The Good Housekeeping Research Institute evaluated 16 GPS units to find the most intuitive and accurate ones by packing the devices up and taking a road trip of our own to test their ease of use and performance capabilities. We rated the ease of entering locations and performing searches, plus the clarity of the directions. Performance was judged based on the time it took to initially route, and to reroute if necessary, plus the directness of the route and the accuracy of the end point requested.
The good news: Not only have prices come down, but many of the less expensive GPS units now offer a lot of the useful features that had previously been reserved for the higher-end models, like real-time traffic and gas-price updates. If you spend a little more, you generally do get what you pay for: Models on the pricier end have cool techie features like Internet capability, enhanced graphics, larger screens, and even voice recognition. (You can "tell" it where you want to go.) All devices are preloaded with points of interest (gas stations, restaurants, hotels, and even shopping and attractions), so you'll find what you want along the way.
We found that, no matter the price, most devices were easy to use and quite accurate, with only a slight margin of error in pinpointing destinations exactly, such as misidentifying a house location by two numbers. While not a huge concern, this does underscore an important safety point: When driving, keep your eyes primarily on your surroundings, not your GPS screen.

Defection of Syrian Prime Minister A Blow To Assad
Syria's Prime Minister is among the latest officials to defect after fleeing the country. Opposition leaders say they are trying to help many other political and military figures who also want to defect.
Copyright © 2012 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
The opposition in Syria is celebrating a political victory today. Syria's prime minister has come over to their side. It is the highest level official defection yet from the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
As NPR's Anthony Kuhn reports from Beirut, the defection is another blow to the regime following the recent assassination of its defense minister and other top officials.
ANTHONY KUHN, BYLINE: Riyad Hijab had barely been ushered into the prime minister's office when he apparently began looking for a way out. He was on the job less than two months before defecting. George Sabra, a Paris-based spokesman for the opposition Syrian National Council, says Hijab contacted the rebel Free Syrian Army, which helped him and his family escaped to neighboring Jordan. He says the opposition is helping other Syrian officials to do the same.
GEORGE SABRA: We have relations with the Syrian Ministry, with the Syrian administration, with the Syrian diplomats. So we encourage these people for defection and to try to help them to do that.
KUHN: Damascus did not comment on the defection except to say that Hijab had been sacked. Jordan says Hijab will head to Qatar whose government supports the rebels. Sabra says Hijab's defection sends an unmistakable message.
SABRA: The end of the regime has started and nobody now in doubt about the end. So I think it's a declaration that it's the time to escape from the sinking ship.
KUHN: Paul Salem, director of the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut, says the defection illustrates how sectarian loyalties are replacing loyalties to the state. He notes that Hijab was a Sunni Muslim in charge of economic and administrative issues. He was not part of the security apparatus or the Alawite minority that dominates it. So far, no high-ranking Alawites have jumped ship.
PAUL SALEM: Where Sunnis are feeling no longer part of the regime possibly, or some are feeling that way and are leaving it, it seems so far that most Alawites feel that their faith is connected to this regime.
KUHN: The defection also highlights the ongoing proxy struggle, Salem says, with Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Western governments aiding the rebels, while Russia and Iran backed the Syrian government. Salem says these big powers would prefer to negotiate a handover to a transitional regime, perhaps including figures like Hijab, rather than intervene directly in the conflict.
SALEM: Members of the international community, including Russia certainly and some in the West, still feel that at the end of the day a manage transition - some kind of political process - is the best way out of this crisis.
KUHN: The regime got more bad news earlier in the day when rebels managed to bomb the Syrian state television building in Damascus. Three employees were injured but none were killed.

I was looking at the art submissions and stuff at smeargles studio and I just had to comment. LOL at the chlorophyll bellsprout. I Love it. Good job.
Thanks so much Furosuto! I'll definitely keep at it. I can feel myself improving with every picture, so its a crap ton of fun.
Hey nov. I like the realistic feel you've got going for your pics! Pretty cool man. As a fellow artist, I have to say, I think you have done one of the best jobs at making a pokemon look realistic. Keep it up dude!
Thanks Omicron! I sure do have a lot of work to do, but its not like I have anything better to do hahaha
Hi so I really like your art thread~ but that's not why I'm here :3 I saw your post in the artist badge thread and didn't want to answer there, so I figured I'd bring it here: you can get an Artist badge by contributing artwork to The Smog (the webzine) or to the Art for Articles campaign! If you'd like Smog access, head into your User CP (upper left corner) then go to Networking, Group Memberships, and apply for Smog access with the reason of intending to contribute art. I'd also shoot Fatecrashers a VM/PM asking if you can, but from what I've seen of your thread I bet you'd be more than welcome to :) p.s. hi! first vm :D
