Imagine having eight days to showcase California to friends or relatives who come visiting every year.
Oakdale will hold a volunteer training and coordination meeting today for the 2011 Amgen Tour of California, the biggest road race in the United States.
LOS ANGELES -- Floyd Landis emerged at the Tour of California time trial on Saturday and hung out in a sponsor's tent days after accusing Lance Armstrong of doping.
Lance Armstrong crashed about 4 miles into the 121.5-mile fifth stage Thursday the same day he was accused of doping by former teammate Floyd Landis. Armstrong resumed riding but soon had to quit the race because of his injuries.
The Tour of California left its star attraction behind in Visalia, then rolled into Bakersfield with a new race leader.
The move of the Amgen Tour of California from February to May caused a stir in the international cycling world, which wondered how the upstart American race would impact the 93-year-old Giro d'Italia. Francesco Chicchi flipped the question on its head Wednesday, as the veteran Italian rider made his own impact on the California race by winning the San Jose-to-Modesto Stage 4 in a frantic final sprint.
A little rain fell right before the Amgen Tour of California rolled into Modesto, but it didn't do anything to dampen business. Fans lined Modesto streets 10-people deep near the finish line Wednesday afternoon, and a steady crowd streamed into downtown throughout the day.
The traveling extravaganza known as the Amgen Tour of California brought thousands of people to downtown Modesto on Wednesday, and with it lots of thrills, intense anticipation and even some nervous moments.
At 8 a.m. Wednesday, as scores of crew members and volunteers put the finishing touches on Amgen's Tour of California set in downtown Modesto, Bruce Burns and Tim Root had some work to do, too.
Francesco Chicchi won Stage 4 of the Amgen Tour of California bicycle race today, speeding into Modesto shortly after 4 p.m. He finished just ahead of J.J. Haedo. Mark Cavendish was third, according to unofficial results on the tour website.
Downtown Modesto business owners hope a blue sky will bring lots of green to town with the Amgen Tour of California. Restaurants, hotels and other shops are gearing up for the race to swing into Modesto on Wednesday as the finish for the fourth leg of the eight-stage competition.
SANTA ROSA -- Near the finish line of the second stage of the Amgen Tour of California on Monday, there was three-time defending champion Levi Leipheimer shivering under an umbrella near his RadioShack team bus, rain dripping off the bill of his baseball cap.
The whole world got to see one family's pride in Modesto.
If you're driving your car Wednesday to watch the world's top cyclists race into Modesto, you might want to steer clear of the course.
Mark Cavendish stuck to the plan, let his HTC-Columbia teammates do the work and then let loose with a finishing sprint to win the first stage of the Amgen Tour of California on Sunday.
PATTERSON -- The children of Patterson came out in force two years ago for the first visit of the Amgen Tour of California, lining the streets of the town, noise-makers in hand, waving signs as simple as "Good Luck! Don't Crash!"
The finish of last year's San Jose-to-Modesto stage in the Amgen Tour of California could not have been better for local bike racing fans. There will be more of the same on Wednesday when some of the world's top cyclists roll into town on Wednesday afternoon.
Lance Armstrong no longer inspires fear in fellow competitors the way he did when he won seven consecutive Tour de France titles and earned millions of dollars a year.
Levi Leipheimer is used to being favored at the Tour of California.
California or Italy? Thanks to the Amgen Tour of California's move from February to May, that's the choice the world's top pro cyclists and teams faced this year for the first time.
If you ever have wanted to feel like you're riding in the Amgen Tour of California without the hassles of training to become an elite athlete, getting on a team, having to undergo drug testing or climbing pesky mountain passes, the Stanislaus County Bicycle Club has an event just for you.
ESCONDIDO -- The climb up a snowcapped mountain during the final stage certainly gave the Tour of California a European feel, as well as the spectators dressed in an array of costumes from a devil to an overweight guy wearing only a lime-green thong.
PASADENA -- Levi Leipheimer is usually cast in the role of domestique, sacrificing his individual performance to help a teammate. This time, Lance Armstrong is playing that part and Leipheimer is the star.
SOLVANG -- Lance Armstrong is just along for the ride this time. The Tour of California is all about helping teammate Levi Leipheimer defend his title.
So much for the Sycamore Slide. While there were concerns that the extremely tight corner from Coldwell Avenue onto Sycamore Avenue might be too treacherous for speeding cyclists, all seemed to negotiate it just fine.
We're asking fans who watched the Amgen Tour of California race to share their experiences. Did you see Lance Armstrong? Was the atmosphere great? Just how fast are those bike riders? Tell us about your time watching the world's greatest cyclists.
Those hoping the Amgen Tour of California would wash downtown Modesto in the color of money were treated to a gray sky instead.
At exactly 3:24 p.m., the clouds parted in downtown Modesto. Umbrellas folded, and for the first time in about an hour it was possible to see how many people had gathered on and around I Street to watch the finish of the Tour of California�s Stage 3.
Let's find the most obscure place on the planet, the darkest corner of Way-Out-There Land, and quiz the citizens: Who floats your boat? Who has made a difference? Who rises above the rest?
SANTA CRUZ -- Maybe Modesto will provide better luck for Lance Armstrong.
The committee handling Modesto's role in the Amgen Tour of California can tell you exactly how many barricades are needed to secure the route (600), how many garbage cans will line downtown streets (60) and the exact placement of the two 30-yard garbage containers.
Modesto's Marci Fikse has definitely heard of Lance Armstrong, but she didn't know until Saturday that the world's most famous cyclist would be riding his bike twice by her house today.
The world's worst spectator sport is on its way to Modesto.
SANTA ROSA -- Lance Armstrong finished among the leaders in the Tour of California's opening stage on an exasperating Sunday that included drenching rain, a flat tire and even the theft of his time-trial bike.
SANTA ROSA -- What a mess.
If you've been at the starting point of a bike race, you may have been surprised to see what the cyclists were doing ahead of time.
SACRAMENTO -- Lance Armstrong kept his head down on the stationary bike, concentrating on his iPod and his pedaling technique. Each time he glanced up, dozens of fans barricaded 10 feet away snapped pictures and murmured with delight.
SACRAMENTO -- Hundreds of cycling fans crowded the outside of the Astana trailer hoping for a sighting of Lance Armstrong as several riders rode stationary trainers under a tent. Some of the camera-carrying spectators had waited hours for their chance to see Armstrong up close.
As Modesto puts out the welcome mat Tuesday in grand fashion for the Amgen Tour of California, it hopes the world-class bike race will leave the city a generous tip in its wake.
An avid bicyclist, Curtis Reynolds is taking advantage of the Amgen Tour of California to teach his sixth-grade students about bike racing.
SACRAMENTO -- Cyclist Floyd Landis' return to top-flight racing Saturday from a bitter two-year drug suspension was less than stellar.
Experienced commuters know the traffic will slow to a crawl at pretty much the same point every day, while the truly great commuters are able to adjust their departure times to avoid such bottlenecks, arriving home just in time (barring accidents) for dinner.
SACRAMENTO -- Ready to race his bike and ever eager to raise awareness about cancer research, Lance Armstrong said that he was excited to be lining up with 135 others Saturday for the start of the nine-day Amgen Tour of California.
SACRAMENTO (AP) - Floyd Landis crashed his bike today in Sacramento during a training run for the Tour of California.
Sports is about comebacks -- rallying to take a lead, storming back in the final minutes or overcoming all odds.
The grass wasn't necessarily greener in the yard of Steve Mudge's neighbor. In fact, the neighbor had a diseased walnut tree begging for removal.
The fourth Amgen Tour of California pedals into Modesto this weekend with world-class spokes trying to cover for a world-class loss.

Boeing Spreads 'Business Risk' with Charleston Expansion
Boeing sent yet another signal last week that its use of cheaper labor markets in the southeastern U.S. would only accelerate when it announced plans to open a new propulsion engineering center in Charleston, South Carolina, to support the 737 Max. The move comes as part of a wider plan encompassing the establishment of new centers for engineering design and out-of-production airplane support for Boeing Commercial Airplanes in Washington State and Southern California. According to Boeing, the centers will operate "independently but cooperatively" and with the existing Commercial Airplanes engineering design center in Moscow, Russia.
Now performed by Goodrich for the current 737 line, the work in Charleston will involve design and assembly of the engine nacelle inlet for the Max and eventually support future programs, said Nicole Piasecki, vice president and general manager of Boeing Commercial Airplanes' propulsion systems division.
Meanwhile, a new Southern California design center will become home to engineering support for out-of-production airplanes. Boeing's Southern California engineering team in Long Beach already serves as the support center for "heritage" McDonnell Douglas airplanes.
"We will leverage the new Southern California design center to create a single location for out-of-production airplane support, enabling us to streamline processes and develop common practices," said Lynne Thompson, vice president of Boeing Customer Support.
During the next six to nine months, 300 engineering positions and most out-of-production airplane support, including that for the 707, 727, 737-100/-200/-300/-400/-500 and 757, will move from Puget Sound to Long Beach, said Boeing.
Finally, Boeing has begun exploring the possibility of opening a design center in Kiev, Ukraine, to support the Boeing Design Center in Moscow, which already employs about 1,200 engineers at a fraction of the cost it takes to engage Puget Sound-based members of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA).
"Our opportunity for future growth is unprecedented and this helps us be more competitive by building on our team's talent and capability–across Boeing, the United States and around the world," said Mike Delaney, Boeing Commercial Airplanes vice president of engineering. "With these changes, we are structuring Boeing's engineering operations to support that growth, reduce business risks and to consistently provide the products and services our customers expect."

Reviews Luzern
The Chapel Bridge, Kapellbrücke, over 200 mt. long, is an antique bridge wooden made, from the 14th century, inside which is displayed much of the city glorious historical and cultural past.
The european most antique covered bridge, Spreuerbrücke, stands between Kasernenplatz and the Mühlenplatz and displays a number of paintings in medieval style, whose main theme concerns the everlasting dualism between Death ... More and Life.
The twin towers needle shaped of Saint Leodegar, the Cathedral, in late Renaissance architectural style are highly decorated inside.
Löwendenkmal, commemorates the many Swiss Guards killed during the French Revolution, in 1792.
The Swiss Transport Museum presents a wide variety of means of transport.
Lucern derives from an antique fishing village on the omonymous lake, where was founded a Benedectine Monastery, Saint Leodegar.
Following to the building of the railway through the Gotthard, the city of Lucern grew in importance up to become what it still is, a favourite tourist destination.
In the city is regularly organized an important summer festival for classical music, at the end of every summer. Lucerne, which ... More covers over 25 km2, is a lovely, lively small city, rich of culture and past traditions, ideal base to explore other important sights in Switzerland.
Lucern has long been a favorite tourist destination and, as a matter of fact, its economy is still largely based on tourism, though industry is a great income, too!

Yusuf Pathan blitzkrieg powers KKR to IPL qualifier
A Yusuf Pathan blitzkrieg of 22-ball 72 powered Kolkata Knight Riders to the first qualifier of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as they humbled Sunrisers Hyderabad by four wickets at the Eden Gardens here Saturday.
Needing to wrap up the game in 15.2 overs to finish second in the league stage over Chennai Super Kings after Sunrisers posted a challenging 160/7, Pathan hit the Challengers like a raging bull, taking away the game single-handedly.
He plundered seven massive sixes and five fours as the home side raced to a winning 161/6 in only 14.2 overs, and would now play the qualifier at the same ground May 27.
Pathan was out in the 14th over caught in the deep but not before making the difficult job seem like a walk in the park. He broke the record for the fastest 50 in the IPL, previously set by Adam Gilchrist.
For the visitors, leggie Karn Sharma ended up figures of 4/38.
The Knights' openers Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa started off cautiously.
With just 26 runs on the board after the fourth over, Gambhir (28; 18b 4x4 1x6) showed his aggressive intent hoiking Jason Holder for a massive six and a four but perished in the same over by dragging the ball on to his stumps.
Meanwhile, orange cap holder Uthappa continued his dream run, picking up some crisp boundaries, but Manish Pandey (2) yet again failed with the bat and was next to go out caught off leggie Sharma.
Uthappa hit two towering sixes and a four, but the boisterous capacity Eden crowd was stunned into silence when he holed out in the deep, trying to hit another biggie of Sharma. The dashing opener scored a 30 ball 41 studded with four boundaries and two sixes.
The hosts received another jolt in the same over when Ryan ten Doeschate was run out for a duck as the scoreboard read 78/4 after 10 overs.
The stadium was brought to life by Pathan who enjoyed two reprieves but hit some lusty blows including a couple of sixes and fours of a Parvez Rasool over as KKR galloped to 100 in the 11th over.
The burly allrounder raced off to his 50 in just 15 balls as he spared none of the Hyderabad bowlers including the dreaded Steyn, clobbering him for 26 runs in an over with the help of two giant sixes and three fours.
Shakib al Hassan (1) returned cheaply, but Pathan continued to sizzle, to knock out the Sunrisers from the tournament.
Earlier put into bat, SRH started off disastrously losing big hitting opener David Warner (4) in the very first over. But a stoic 64 run partnership between Shikhar Dhawan (29; 31b 5x4) and Naman Ojha (26; 23b 5x4 1x6) provided the visitors a solid platform.
The Hyderabad outfit had almost squandered the solid foundation after a flurry of wickets in the middle overs including two run outs but a late charge by skipper Darren Sammy (29; 19b 1x4 3x6) and Jason Holder (16; 12b 2x4 1x6) took them to a challenging score.
Knight's champion offie Sunil Narine who so far has 20 scalps to his name from 14 outings, failed to take a single wicket but was at his miserly best conceding just 19 runs in his four overs.

I think Psyduck's Pokemart is a very good site. I like the fan art page and the pictures of new Pokemon. He has a Pokedex and has music or a song on every page. Some are Pokemon but, some are even cooler! Psyduck's Pokemart is great!

Kirk Muller has been relived of his duties as head coach of the Carolina Hurricanes. Assistant coaches Dave Lewis and John MacLean have also been shown the door.
The Carolina Hurricanes now have no head coach, so they will have to start looking for one. Luckily for them, there are many options out there for them. Let's take a look at a few coaches that I have taken a liking to.

"Countless are, as the sand in the sea, the deep desires of men, and none resembles the other, and all of them, whether shameful, or great, in the beginning are obedient, but later become terrible masters over him."
"We can never flee the misery that is within us."
"Why do people have to be this lonely? What's the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?"

Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush tweaked his knee in Week 2, which led to him being forced to watch the team's Week 3 match up against the Washington Redskins from the sideline as an inactive.
Bush likely would have had a huge day against the putrid Redskins defense, but the team decided to proceed with caution and hold him out of action.
However, the team's starting running back plans to come back and suit up for the Lions big Week 4 match up against the undefeated Chicago Bears. In fact, Bush felt that he could have played this weekend.
"I could have played [Sunday]," Bush said, via the Detroit Free Press. "I for sure could have played today, I just don't know if I could have took a hit today on it. I practiced Friday, did a workout Saturday, ran. Everything was normal. I just wasn't sure if I could take a hit yet. So that was the risk that we were dealing with. But this week I'll be fine."
Without Bush in the line up, back up Joique Bell was able to rack up 132 total yards and a touchdown.
Fantasy owners have to be upset that one of the most productive teams in the league was unable to take advantage of such a great match up.

Presenting: Gears of War 3
As you may or may not know, Epic's Gears of War 3, the final in a trilogy, is coming out in mere days. I'm a big fan of the Gears of War series, Epic Games and NECA Toys, so another photo project was in order.
My last gaming toy piece was also based on a game by Epic and a figure from NECA. That was my Presenting: Bulletstorm piece.
This time, I wanted to portray an image a bit more somber, something that fit the dark mood of Gears 3's promotional stylings. Once I got Marcus and the dead Locust set up, I took several photos with different angles and lighting configurations.
After I found my favorite angle & lighting, I took the photos into Photoshop, and then, some extensive editing and color correcting later, the piece was finished!
I'll be getting some prints made to send over to Epic and NECA along with prints of my Bulletstorm piece. I think everyone will enjoy seeing them!
Thanks for taking a look, hopefully I'll have some more stuff like this up soon.
Presenting: Bulletstorm
One of my favorite things to take photos of are my various action figures and collectibles. I've taken and uploaded plenty before, and it's something I intend to keep doing. Most of the photos I've taken so far have been "portraits" or non-action shots. Action shots are something I've wanted to try, but haven't really figured out quite yet.
This brings me to today, with my new piece. Using NECA's awesome Grayson Hunt figure as a base, along with a couple of bases from misc. figures (can you name them?), I've created my first action shot. The process was pretty deep, it required several steps of work to get the final piece.
My first step was getting my pose chosen and then shooting the actual photo. I decided to use my 27" monitor as a background by displaying a screenshot from the game on it. By photographing in front of this, I'd have a dynamic and inclusive background for my piece. I took two shots, one with the figure in the foreground & focused, and the other with the screen in focus.
From there, I took the photos into Adobe Lightroom for editing, and then into Photoshop for all my compositing/post processing. This included removing things like the base the figures were on, the exterior of the monitor, etc. I then recreated missing pieces of the ground and sky, and made them seamless with the image. Up next was creating Grayson's leash and its effects on Grayson himself & the environment. Rounding the process out was adding all the environmental effects like bullet whizzes & impacts, dust, sparks and more.
One of the cool things about this is the resolution; the final piece is large enough to print on a full sized poster. In fact, I might try to get a few printed to send to NECA, Epic, People Can Fly and a couple other places. I really want to share this with everyone responsible for the game and figure…I think they'd enjoy a print as well!
It's a stretch, but if anyone else out there would like a print, let me know. I'll make them to order if so!
This was a really fun process and I look forward to making more. I hope you enjoy it too!

Single best transportation choice I have ever made
"The decision to buy the 311 Solo from Outrider was the single best transportation choice I have ever made. Tommy was extremely patient with me and was eager to answer my endless stream of questions. His technical knowledge and obvious enthusiasm for the product put me at ease and gave me the confidence to make the purchase. The acceleration is instantaneous and surprising, the steering is incredibly responsive and the disc brakes provide excellent stopping power. At first it was a little disconcerting to be so close to the ground, but now it's the part I love the most. It feels safe in traffic especially because of the acceleration speed and maneuverability. I use the 311 for a rather hilly 25 mi round-trip commute to work at Keene State College in southern New Hampshire. So far I have a little over 2200 miles on the odometer and the last mile was as enjoyable as the first. One thing I have had to get used to is all of the attention the trike brings. Its hard to be in a hurry when everyone you meet in a parking lot wants to ask questions. In summary this is a high quality product from a great group of energetic and customer oriented people."
Kevin B.

Fantastic Ride
"Ride today was just fantastic. I really like the acceleration. Also for me it was really easy to "free" pedal. When I get off I am relaxed, not sore but was out "exercising" for about an hour. Really, really nice build."
Scott M.
Hollywood, SC
Thanks... Thanks... Thanks!!!
"The 422 Alpha is not like any other bike or trike. This is a serious and very innovative machine. We've also hauled tons of gear on a modified trailer. Shopping, hauling BoogieBoards and gear down to the BV River Park for some fun, and our Dog Kama sure likes to ride. We've hauled up to 70 lbs all over town and never a hesitation on the part of the Outrider trike. Mostly I've averaged about 50 miles + on most of my daily rides and all have been easily obtainable on a single charge averaging about 28 mph. It responds to our needs effortlessly and will thrill ya every time guaranteed. Almost 1700 miles and no problems. This spring is going to be great. My plan has been all along to park the truck and this will sure be true for this year. I'd have to say my favorite ride last Summer and Fall was "Cottonwood Pass" (elevation 12126'). The ride has 4161' of climbing and the 422 Alpha just eats up grades with no hesitation. In fact is was quite an odd feeling to pass so many cars and trucks on the way up that were hauling trailers. THANKS... THANKS... THANKS! Great engineering, Function, Form and Freedom!!!"
Lynn N.
Buena Vista, CO
Update: December 2012
"My Outrider 422 Alpha has gone another 900 miles for a total of 2600 miles. I'm even more impressed now than I was 900 miles ago. Even more trips to the river, store, work and just cruising around town. 2600 miles of not driving my truck and I don't miss driving it at all and in fact I've not been able to ride recently and it's killing me. The best part of the last 900 miles for sure was the "Pikes Peak Cycling Challenge". What a hoot and proof my Outrider 422 Alpha is one amazing machine besides being way too much fun to ride. Other great rides include Independence Pass, and Cottonwood Pass just outside of BV... I ride Cottonwood pass weekly for sure... What a beautiful ride and fast. I'm not a writer or a professional product reviewer, and not really that technical so describing my Outrider in flashy terms or technically is not really an option. Bottom line for me. I love it. It's an amazing machine and it adds some new twists to riding and makes transporting yourself and your goodies around just too much fun. I got to meet the Outrider USA Team in Colorado and ride with them. I did not do the race but ran up Pikes Peak taking photos of the race. It was wild riding thru the pack at 28+ and hearing the cheers of the other riders as I blazed past them and the ride down! Wow!"
Lynn N.
Buena Vista, CO
The 411 on my 411
"It's electric and that means torque. I actually now look forward to road riding without fearing death by distracted drivers. This trike gets up and goes and allows speeds that make a 411 rider more of a road curiosity than an interference. If I see someone approaching in my rear view mirrors who ain't behaving like they are gonna "share the road" then I have plenty of time to push and throttle and find a pull off before they get cranky. I consider anytime I see a vehicle in my rear views an opportunity to sprint. I kick in and throttle up and push her over 40 on the flat. And shoot, downhilling is a hoot on a recumbent trike. You are so low that you just fly. I am averaging over 25 mph and find myself routinely pedaling with assist around 32 mph. For me, it's the only way to fly....ride. At these speeds be sure to have pants that gather and grab fairly well around the leg otherwise you will have balloon pants.....cool crotch but not the best for riding."
Marc Clayton
Arden, NC
Burma Shave!
"During my commutes I cruise between 22 and 28 mph while pedaling. In 50F or colder weather I get two round trips or 30 miles between charges with about 5 miles or range remaining. In 70F plus weather I got a minimum of 40 miles on a charge. I enjoy cycling and working on my own bikes, both modern and classic steel lugged models. The Transition trike is the perfect fun vehicle - complementing my other bikes. I expect the maintenance on the Transition will be no more than any quality bike and minimal considering the higher mileage I expect to put on it between services. The guys at Outrider USA were very helpful the few times I had questions or concerns. Concerning my title - I had a higher-end Bionx and sold it to raise funds. Think of it as the little red metal trike (3 year old style) compared to the Transition. Any competitor's offerings in quality and performance are much more expensive than Outrider USA."

You remember the line from the movie Forrest Gump that went, "Life is like a box of chocolates – you never know what you're gonna get." That's how I feel about the weather in Cincinnati – it's been spring-like for most of the winter, and now that spring has really shown signs of starting, it's snowing! But no matter what the weather outside, I have been thinking spring since last fall when we began planning for The Plant Sale at the Civic Garden Center. I take care of ordering all the plants chosen by our volunteers to be sold at the annual event – our largest fundraiser. It amazes me how much time and thought they put into their selections, and how much experience they have growing the many plants they sell.
In my eighth year of working with our volunteers on choosing plants, this year holds the promise of the widest selection – throughout the sale, and, within each booth. Here's a sneak peek of some of the plants you'll find at The Plant Sale on May 4, 5 & 6:
- Fruits & Veggies booth: many varieties of fruit trees and shrubs, in addition to heirloom tomatoes, peppers and eggplants
- Climbers, Clematis & Roses booth: the herb of the year – the rose – will be well represented with many climbing varieties, some species roses, and low maintenance, disease resistant shrub varieties that will help gardeners get back to growing the classics in a modern way
- Necessary Natives booth: to date, the best selection of perennials, shrubs, and a few trees that will transform your landscape into a haven for wildlife, and cut down on maintenance requirements
- Connoisseur's Corner booth: many plants and cultivars that you won't find anywhere else in the city!
- Herbs booth: we're working on rounding up a great selection of hops, for both the home brewer and the herb gardener, in addition to the hundreds of varieties of herbs
- Shade & Sun Perennials booths: the latest and greatest cultivars, along with proven varieties that will do well in your garden.
I must also mention the unexpected treasures you'll find the in the Donated Plants booth (great finds at great prices, from gardens around the city so you know they'll grow); Awesome Annuals and Tropicals to add incredible color and drama to your garden, patio or balcony; Blooming Shrubs for structure and color in your border; and Hostas – one of the cornerstones of the sale, and what many call the best selection of hostas in the city!
When you're working with Mother Nature, you also "never know what you're gonna get," so there's always a chance that something we've ordered isn't ready or a grower experiences a crop failure. But, you can still count on a great selection of the highest quality plants and what sets this sale apart from others: the opportunity to talk with experienced gardeners about the plants and share tips for a successful garden. Bring in spring with a trip to THE Plant Sale at the Civic Garden Center!
The Civic Garden Center will hold its annual Preview Party, the organization's largest fundraiser, on Friday, May 4th from 6 – 10 p.m. Guests will enjoy dinner and dessert by the bite, wine and Christian Moerlein beer. Cuisine East West, Coffee Emporium, Madisono's Gelato & Sorbet, Fab Ferments, Cooking with Caitlin, 20th Century Productions, Lobsta Bakes of Maine and Daisy Mae's Market are event supporters. Preview Party attendees get first dibs on thousands of plants ranging from clematis and roses to blooming shrubs, herbs, sun perennials and native plants. A silent auction and rare plant auction take place in addition to live music throughout the evening. Tickets are $40/person in advance via www.civicgardencenter.org or by calling 221-0981 and $50 day-of the event.
THE Plant Sale, with thousands of plants from fourteen booths, and special vendors is open to the public on Saturday, May 5 from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. and Sunday, May 6 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. Café de Wheels will be on site to serve up tasty fare.

Dating Back to may this year the number of activated android devices was like 100 Million Devices. This Number has doubled in such a short span and with number of devices being released, no wonder this numbers are gonna go down. If you ask "Why android ? is it because of its
- multi tasking capability ?
- customizable home screens ?
- Notification bar ?
- Cool widgets ? or
- the Android Market with numerous possibilities ?
as a Big Android Fan, i like to say that all the above are the primary reasons for me preferring android so much as the top and must have OS while choosing Smartphone or Tablets.
Meanwhile 250 Million iOS devices have been sold till October 2011, Not to forget the staggering 4 Million iPhone 4s being sold in the first three days of its launch. Looks like the race is a close call. Its filling upto the brim and just that who ever falls out first.

Camping in cabins for a week.
- m
- master815k Jun 29, 2011 06:08 PM
So, i am not much of a camper and my husband has arranged for us to go camping in south carolina for 5 days with his family. There will be 6 adults and 6 kids in the cabin. Apparently, it is quite large. I brought up the idea of having each family cook two nights for everyone, just to divide it up. I am not sure how well the kitchen is stocked and I am also not used to cooking for such a large group. Any suggestions of simple dinner or lunch ideas with not a lot of ingredients that taste great? As I said, I am not much of an outdoorsy person, so this is all new to me! Not having the comfort of my spice cabinet and herb garden worries me! I am coming from across the country, so bringing food with me is not an option. I could bring spices, or things like that. According to the state park website, the nearest grocery store is 15 miles away.
Bring some chicken breasts or skirts steaks in a marinade in ziplocs. They can be frozen in the marinade. When it's your turn to cook , take out to thaw that morning, then you just need a fresh onion, & tortillas or rice and a can of beans, make fajitas for everyone. Assuming you have a grill, which is really all you need camping, and bring a cast iron pan which can be used on a grill, fire pit, stove or oven.
For a crowd that big, I like spaghetti with a variety of toppings that anyone could add to make their own custom thing - marinara sauce, jarred pesto, olives, meatballs, cheese, peppers, etc.
If volume and weight of provisions is an issue, Barry Farm sells a lot of dehydrated vegetables and fruits online. They are good if you are making soups, stews, and stewed fruit.
Bring a variety of spices, garlic, salt, pepper--those things that would cost a lot to be individually for small amounts--and put those in your checked baggage in zip loc bags. That way, whatever is purchased--15 miles isn't that big a deal--you will have flavors to add to it.
You might not be able to get away with this with the airlines, although I have for East Coast beach vacations for the past 10 years. Pack at least one good knife, wrap it in towels and then in an article of clothing that you can roll up. Or ask one of the E.C. family to bring 'one along. Not having a decent knife is torture.
Escondido is right - dried herbs/spices in snack bags rule! and if you put one or two heads of garlic in a sandwich bag, and then that in a quart bag, you have fresh garlic, and 'not smelly' clothes.
Could you possibly ask the E.C. family to purchase chicken, skirt, etc., and freeze them for you? That would work well...
Lasagna, if you can get ingredients [pack a box of noodles?]. And again, this will probably have to depend on family for a pre-purchase, but pork butt in the East is frequently on sale, cooks simply and without much supervision and is always a big hit for a crowd. Our E.C. connection always makes pulled pork in advance and packs it in a cooler for several lunches. yummm
re: nikkihwood
Bringing your own knife is a great suggestion and something I usually do. Once you plan your menus you can bring the rest of what you need in your luggage and carry-on and buy perishables once you are there. I would bring homemade cookies in my carry-on. Grilled chicken, watermelon and a good salad is always appreciated. I'm trying a recipe for potato and pea salad with chive aioli this weekend.
Make sure somebody is bringing mayo, oil, and vinegar for everyone. Perhaps someone on the EC is willing to do shopping for some basics and split the bill.
BTW our son once went on a camping vacation with another family. The teen friends were asked to contribute $20 toward food bill. Son was very disappointed that every night they had hot dogs.
re: dfrostnh
+ another vote for bringing your knife. A french press w/ good coffee makes many people's day. Because I'm a recipe cook, I think through what I want to make, but I also bring a handful of printouts of low-effort odds & ends, so I can pull together cookies if I feel like it. If I were going to bring a single ingredient, other than spices, it would be a hard cheese. In my trips to South Carolina in the summer, I've bought wonderful, wonderful fruit from roadside stands; you might keep an eye out for that.
I've done trips like this before, and they can be really fun.
The keys are:
1. Plan carefully, and
2. Let go of your usual gourmet standards, and accept that this isn't going to be the finest cooking you've ever done. That's OK. This is the kind of situation that the term "crowd-pleaser" was invented for.
This is what I would suggest, based on many years of Girl Scout training:
1. Think of what two dinners you can make that are easy to scale up, and that don't use tons of different pots and pans. Do you have any good one-pot meals in your repertoire? Like a hearty chili or stew? Those are good bets. Or, as others have said, if you have access to a grill, a marinade for meat that you're fond of? For desserts, think brownies or bar cookies.
2. Make a shopping list of every single thing you need to make your meals, with quantities. Don't forget oil, butter, condiments, etc.
3. Ask the other families to make similar lists of their grocery needs. Have one person be the grocery list clearinghouse and make a single, combined list. (For example, if each of four chefs needs one stick of butter, then on the shopping list goes 1 lb. of butter.)
4. Have one or two people be the designated shoppers, using the combined shopping list. If there's anything you need that no one else does, like small amounts of spices, then bring them with you, as others have sugested.
5. Relax and enjoy improvising with your restricted resources! And remember that all that fresh air stimulates the appetite! Everything tastes good while you're camping! So don't worry too much about perfection.
re: abijah
Excellent suggestion about the designated shopper. Coordinating on the shopping will also prevent excess overlap. If everyone is ordering chicken breasts, it might be time to rethink some menu ideas.
I also love the one-pot meal approach. For lunch I'd suggest simple sandwich bar - lots of cold cuts with fixings and some simple sides like potato salad, slaw, etc.
It would help to know more about the kitchen facilities. If you have a reliable large oven, pork shoulder cooked low and slow might be an idea -- though a left coaster coming into NC to cook pulled pork might take some cojones!
re: BernalKC
I have never been to this particular state park, so I have no ideas what the cabin is going to be like, there are no pictures on the website. Crossing my fingers.!
I'm actually from the East Coast, but DH is military so we move a lot.
Here are some things I pack in my checked bag(s) when self-catering and, local food supplies may be limited:
• A chef's knife with a knife shield to protect it (always in my suitcase regardless of where I'm going to be honest)
• Extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar wrapped in the bubble wrap cases designed for wine bottles
• Kosher salt in a ziplock
• Head of garlic in a ziplock (or more depending on duration of our trip)
• Cayenne in a ziplock
• Dijon (in plastic bottle)
• Oregano in a ziplock (the only herb I prefer dry)
• Tea bags
• Peppercorns in a grinding dispenser (TJ's and Dollar Stores sell these at a very reasonable cost)
Since we are morning coffee-lovers I always call ahead to find out what type of coffee maker is provided and then I'll bring my own coffee (pre-ground if need be) and, filters. Nothing worse than waking up on day 1 to find there's no coffee!!
With these basics I have a lot of flexibility in designing menus after doing "one shop" at the local market for produce, meat/fish/poultry and dairy.
re: Breadcrumbs
I really love all the replies! I love to cook, but was stressed about the "situation" . Not sure what it's like, etc. Thanks for the advice CH!
re: master815k
Afterward, let us know how it went!
Any kind of durable bread (texas toast, pita, etc),
Canned pizza sauce,
Stick pepperoni. cut into tiny rounds
Sliced deli ham
Block of mozza cheese.......
Canned 'shrooms, olives, hot peppers, perhaps?
Then rig a grate over some coals from the campfire and everyone toasts their own pizza!
If your cabin has an oven you could use the broiler. :-)
PS for dessert buy bananas, cut thru the peel and put some brown sugar or honey or raisins or choc chips inside, wrap in foil & warm them over the fire. mmmmmmmmmmmmm........

Glycerin is a thick, colorless, non-toxic liquid known for having a slightly sweet taste. Due to its humectant properties, which allow it to absorb moisture from the air, glycerin is used in skin emollients to keep skin supple. It is also used in nail hardeners and in nail moisturizers to increase the water content in the nail.

Your Employees: Your Biggest Asset
Supreme Security VP and COO David Bitton offers a glimpse into what's working at his company in terms of retention, training and finding tomorrow's workers
Employee retention and performance has always been one of the top concerns of dealer/alarm companies. How do you keep the best employees around and how do you encourage your other employees to perform at their best? Do incentives really work? Is training a motivational factor? Where are tomorrow's employees going to come from?
These are all questions that managers and administrators of dealer and alarm installer companies must think about on a regular basis, and questions administrators must answer to create efficiency in their business. SecurityInfoWatch.com recently spoke with David Bitton, vice president and chief operating officer of Supreme Security Systems Inc., a 75- year-old family-owned company in New Jersey with a history of keeping good staff around. Supreme Security Systems, which was founded in 1929, has been ranked as one of the largest dealer companies in the United States, and their primary business is still installing, servicing and monitoring burglar and fire alarm systems, CCTV systems, access control systems and process/environmental monitoring systems. We posed some of the above questions to Bitton in the hopes that his experiences operating Supreme Security might help shed some light onto techniques in a format that you will also find illuminating.
SIW: How has employee retention been viewed at Supreme Security?
Bitton: We see very little turn-over in our technical staff. Part of my job is to make sure they have what they need to do their job. We back them up with technical support inside the office. A lot of my long-term employees are in the technical support end [of the business]. My guys know that when they call the office, they will get the technical support they need.
SIW: How is training involved in retaining and creating good employees?
Bitton: I have a number of my guys who are looking to excel. We're currently doing computer networking training to keep up with changes in the industry. The key to keeping my guys happy is to keep them updated on the systems they'll be working with. Just last week, every staff member spent eight hours in technical training, and we average between 20 and 40 hours of dedicated training for staff members per year. Education is an enormous resource. It makes their jobs easier and empowers them, and by way of empowerment they feel stronger. Our guys aren't supervised out in the field, so training makes me and them more confident in their abilities. It's not something we have set up now, but training will eventually become its own staff at Supreme Security.
SIW: How do incentive programs work at your company?
Bitton: Our installers have productivity requirements, and there is a very nice incentive if they pass that goal. In the interest of incentives, we keep it simple. All of my guys have a certain number of units they need to complete per week, and there are incentives if the group as a whole passes expectations. Beating that goal gives you dollars, a year-end bonus. Our top performers get monthly recognition at our meetings in addition to monetary compensation. If one guy does well one month, we see others who want to try to earn that recognition the next month. For incentives, we recently revised our system to make it simple. Our old plans were very complicated. I sat down and talked with other security companies before revising our system.
SIW: Especially with installers, who are out in the field constantly, creating a team effort can be a challenge. How do you use the concept of "community" in retaining good employees?
Bitton: Besides our monthly meetings, we also hold a quarterly meeting of the department, but we also have an annual holiday party held outside the office and a summertime barbeque party where staff can enjoy themselves.
SIW: Even with these kinds of programs in place, you sometime must lose good employees, whether it's to the competition, retirement or personal reasons. What do you do to ensure that the continuity in your operations is not lost?

Five Guys in Southfield,MI.
- j
- jerseyshore Dec 25, 2008 09:00 AM
Anyone know the progress on this new venture? Can't believe they're coming to Michigan. Blow away any burger in the area. Have been to Five Guys locations in three other states and they're always consistent and very good. Been to the all the top recs for burgers in metro Detoit and have always been disappointed. A great burger is the sum of its parts, and so many places may claim to use angus beef ,( which by the way means nothing in the way of flavor) and then throw the burger on some shitty bun and a handful of unforgettable fries. Burger purists know what I mean. If you're happy with the dreck you get at the local Coney Island , this post isn't meant for you.
I'm not expecting much. When Fatburger came, it was hailed as the second coming, and from what I've heard, it isn't anything to write home about. I had Fatburger when I was in Arizona at a Diamondbacks game, and while it was fine, it wasn't anything to write home about, either. Apparently, the Detroit FB isn't anything close to what you get out west.
Five Guys will get a try from me, but I highly doubt that it'll be anything of consequence when put up against the likes of Miller's Bar and Redcoat Tavern.
re: boagman
fatburger is a overrated joke
re: jerseyshore
It very well could be overrated, but I didn't *dislike* what I had in AZ. However, neither did it come up to the standards of the local best-of places like Millers and Redcoat. Still, I don't have any compelling reason to go to Fatburger in Southfield, because I haven't heard, nor seen, good things. It appears that they absolutely *kill* your burger no matter how you ask them to cook it, and it takes for-stinking-ever with pretty crappy service. Basically, it sounds like a half-decent concept with city-of-Detroit service levels, which doesn't sound good to me.
Like I said, I'll try Five Guys when it finally opens (still under construction as of Sunday, from what I could see), and I'll give it a fair shake.
We were snarky about this burger venture showing up in our neighborhood until we opened our bag filled with fries. I mean, like, FILLED. Being a fan of Nathan's Famous fries since childhood, these plain, simple and ungreasy fries kicked ass... Way too many of them died at my hands.
Burgers? Meh. Just like Mom made, minus the flavor. Granted, all the trimmings being included were a nice touch. For the price and convenience its alright- provided nobody you care to impress sees you slink out of there with a greasy, steaming bag. If I need a fast bite in another city, it'll suffice.
For the business smarts, I like what they have done- simple, straight to the point and not catering to screaming munchkins demanding gadgets and toys with their imitation food.
I'm still going to head out to Burgerville for local beef and veggies, appropriately seasonal foods, compostable dining ware and sweet potato fries once a year...and killer milkshakes, and...
re: Knifethrower
Burgerville? It seems that I'm missing something special. Where is Burgerville?
re: jcbroder
it's in the pacific northwest, so, why it's included in a post about southeastern michigan is beyond me
re: grouper
I drove by there today too and saw it. Btw, we had a really crappy pizza at Pizzaria Rustica in Partridge Creek. Totally undercooked and horrible.
re: Calipoutine
Is that part of a chain, or an individual place? I'll keep it in mind...I stinking *hate* lousy pizza. Thanks for the heads-up.
re: boagman
Its a chain that is in S. Florida( actually where I'm from). Everyone there raves about the pizza, but I never had it in Fl because there are so many independent places. I was so craving pizza yesterday and we drove 90 miles from Ontario to eat there!! So dissapointed. But, oh wait. I got a coupon for 50% off my next order( I doubt there will be a next time). The pizza was odd, totally raw on top, even after me asking for it to be put back in the oven for another 5 min.
re: Calipoutine
Oh, Cali, honey, if you're going to travel to across the border to get pizza, let me save you some driving: Loui's Pizza, 23141 Dequindre Road, Hazel Park, Michigan. 248-547-1711. Still, to this day, the best pizza I've ever eaten in my life.
Thanks again for the warning about Rustica. I'll avoid.
re: boagman
I'll keep that in mind, but its another 40 more miles( each way). I also wanted to do some shopping at Nino Salvaddgio. Thus why we chose to eat at Pizza Rustica. It was either that or CPK or PF Changs!!
Fatburger has had many incarnations/locations outside of LA and variety in product.
5 Guys is relatively new (last 10 years?) my only caveat is that the smallest is quite large - but not a bad burger at all.
people debate the fries. to be eaten eaten immediately from what I hear, but that's true for fries anywhere IMHO.
but then I'm a SteaknShake aff.
If you are looking for the best burgers in Michigan, Washtenaw county has 2 of the best. Sidetrack bar and grill in depot town (Ypsilanti) and Blimpy Burger in Ann Arbor (which has been featured on Drive in's, Diners and Dives). Give them a try....don't know how you could be disappointed!
re: SuperSam30
Went there with some buddies after work.
Impressions: Overall a very solid burger. Straddles the line between a "restaurant" burger (e.g. Red robin, Redcoats) and a fast food burger. It still doesn't have the freshness and overall tastiness of a In N Out burger. I'd eat there again if I was in the neighborhood, but I wouldn't bypass redcoats or Vinsetta Grill for it. Esp when my double cheeseburger was already five bucks.
re: Summerfield
I used to Work In Dearborn and went to Miller's for many lunches....
I still do not understand the love they get. I don't need exotic fancy pants ingredients to enjoy a burger. I love plain Jane Bates Burgers at 5 and Farmington. I would say my favorite Burger is down in Columbus at Thurman Cafe (although that does have some fancy Blue Cheese and Bacon On the one I like). Hell I like a lot of burgers actually...yet for some reason it is not just not me...My whole family can not understand the fascination with Millers.
I think even most of the people I worked with were kind of wondering what they were supposed to be liking about it so much.
I think I will take a homemade burger with just some Cheddar, Thick Sliced Onion and Ketchup tonight for dinner.
But one thing I ask is this....Why in the hell does that burger get so much love over all the others in this town?
re: JanPrimus
Well hell, you've convinced me. Your whole family, eh? I'm never going to Miller's again. I was getting tired of standing in all those lines, anyway. Bunch of sheep, if you ask me. Thanks for opening my eyes.
re: Summerfield
I'm just asking for someone to tell me what they like so much about it...
The buns are nothing special. The meat usually feels like it was cooked on a cool grill and there is nothing overly impressive about the taste. I just don't get it. Help me understand. Oh and the beer selection sucks like its 1979 still.
BTW the lunch crowd hardly has a line ever if you want some faster service.
re: JanPrimus
> I'm just asking for someone to tell me what they like so much about it...
I'm not a big fan of Miller's ... but if you want a burger, it's very easy to make
a worse choice (in the Dearborn area).
When in Dearborn, I prefer (these non-burger ops):
Liles (ham sandwich & pea soup)
Three Brothers (Polish)
M&M Cafe (Jordanian)
re: Summerfield
Those in the know will drive a few miles west to Orchard Lake and
get their burgers at Jaws Jumbo Burgers:
re: rainsux
What ^ said. That place is a gold mine for burgers.
The Five Guys in Southfield on Greenfield Road is open. See The Detroit Free Press article today (freep.com).

Justin's cousin Braddock married the lovely Lindsay on May 7th of 2010 in the LDS temple in Salt Lake City. What a crazy day that was for Justin and I as we literally had to wrangle equipment together for the shoot in just a few hours. The night before we were tragically robbed and had every bit of our equipment stolen in the matter of 10 minutes!!! Knowing the next day we would need to photograph Brad + Lindsay we were slightly stressed. LUCKILY, the wedding photography industry is amazing in the fact that we all seem to pull together when something goes wrong! We put a few twitter messages out into the universe and by 11am the next morning we had pretty much everything we needed ON LOAN from other fellow photogs in the SLC area. A very special thanks to those that were so willing to help us in our time of need!
To make a very long story short, we were able to purchase new equipment because we were insured through Hill & Usher (amazing insurance company for photographers and equipment coverage), and a good samaritan helped us catch the bad guy and put him behind bars (I intend to dedicate a whole post just to this person in the very near future)! So, learn from us, if you aren't insured, GET INSURED ASAP, and if you are, be sure you are insured through a company that has your back!
Now on to the goods:

What a horrible story! I can't believe that happened to you! Since you caught the bad guy, how come you weren't able to get your original equipment back? :( And hey Amelia you posted this way back on July 1st and you still haven't honored your hero and told us the story! I know it's the season but I think it's time don't you think? We all need a little faith and hope to make it through the rest of the way! ;)(08.29.10 01:50 AM)

Emily, I appreciate the reminder, I DO plan on doing a post for Jesse (the guy that helped us catch the bad guy), but I'd like to take photos of him first to show off him and his beautiful family. The last two months have been a whirlwind for us and I don't expect you to even know about what has been going on, but again, thank you for the reminder. Stay posted!(08.31.10 10:34 AM)

Now the two wrestlers appear to be dancing, caught in an arm-lock, or something. The spinning makes it hard to tell.
But just when you think you've got it figured out, a new move is introduced: The arm-lock is disentangled and a limp body is thrown against the ropes, and as it springs back, the momentum is redirected into one of the posts – BOOM! The crippled body pops back, deflates, oozes to its knees like melting ice cream, and the crowd's roar reaches a peak: Everyone felt that one. The expression on the wrestler's face speaks of delirium, of shattered dreams. Of brain beaten to jelly.
Now the vanquished is wrapped between the bottom ropes with his oppressor kneeling on his back, preening triumphantly.
2301 S. Seventh St.
St. Louis, MO 63104
Category: Health and Fitness
Region: St. Louis - Soulard
The crowd showers the loser with hoots and catcalls. Nothing is as resounding as a wrestler's defeat; you can practically feel it in the rattle of your own rib cage.
