Got Water?
year I didn't notice any automatic sprinklers going off in the rain. Then again, I didn't notice any rain.
We have a long dry year ahead of us, and that can make for all sorts of unpleasantness. Worst will be the fire danger, probably stretching from early summer into autumn. I expect we'll be put on a strict water-diet and rates will rise.
If there is rationing, I hope it's on the honor system, and things won't get weird like they did in our city to the South. When Pasadena rationed water a couple of years ago, they tried to start a neighbor-snitch-on-neighbor campaign, encouraging citizens to spy on each other and report sightings of off-day watering to a local authority. That's just all kinds of creepy.
I'm happy to save water, but there aren't many corners left to cut around here. No leaks, no half-loads of laundry. No half-filled dishwasher. No dishwasher, for that matter.
But I will be putting a little Darwinism into practice; natural section will take place in the garden.
Even though my house is old, a nonagenarian, it had no landscaping at all when I bought it. Just a few giant trees and then some Home Depot snapdragons that were scheduled to die as soon as escrow closed.
According to a long-timer in the neighborhood, my house has a checkered past. Back in the 1980s, it was a "pharmacy" of sorts, which explains why I have two front doors. Then in the 90s, it flipped yearly, from one owner to another. So in either case, a well-tended garden wasn't a priority. (More on Patch)

A few years ago, I changed over my 'forest of a yard' to one more drought tollerant..Thanks to a gal at our farmer's market whose family owns a nursery that specializes in drought tollerant plants.. Thanks to her inventory, I love succulents, shrubs from Africa, Mexico.. all the hot climates.. I like the minimalist look. People don't realize that less is more... My water bill is cut in half.BTW if that's your yard, I like it, especially the tree that is probably glad no other tree is around cuz his roots can stretch and not be crowded out.

When I lived in Portland where water abounds, we would panic if the rain gage fell below normal only a bit and rationing would ensue. Here in Phoenix, we're in a dry spell and no one cares. I've yet to hear anything much about water conservation. Ironical ain't it?
Tomatoes sometimes like to return the next year. I hope you get some.

I've always had what I considered a "survival of the fittest" garden. I came from the cold, wet Atlantic coast and finally got my garden the way I loved it there. When I moved here, I lost a lot of the plants I planted, like you did. Now that I've changed my idea of beauty, the possibilities are endless.

My city also has water conservation measures in place, including the opportunity to inform on one's neighbors. I think you're right--that last bit is creepy.

Kalei's Best Friend, sadly, that's not my yard. And I agree. I put up one photo of a sort of New Mexico-ish looking place, and I really like the stark but sculptured look of it. (Water bill cut in half? Now that's a serious recommendation.)
Pierre, I wonder if Arizona doesn't have unlimited access to water from the Colorado River? I spent part of my youth in the Pacific Northwest, remember my first exposure to Southern California. It took awhile to get used to the brown.
Janet, Yes, year by year, I've been coming around to a new aesthetic.
Jean, it reminds me of Fahrenheit 451. We should talk to our neighbors, not inform on them.

@Altadena: 4got to mention we aren't restricted as far as water.. even though our bill shows if we are 'efficient' in our usage.

Maybe I've been reading too much about the 60 years of drought we're entering. That makes me nervous. I'm more creeped out by the jerks who run their sprinklers while it's raining than I am by the jerks who turn them in.

Make some olla pots and use lots and lots of mulch. And do what I did today, I put all of my birdbaths near each other, close to a ready faucet so I'll be sure and have water for the birds cuz we're scheduled for a drought as well. But hey, the bluebirds have already built their first nest...

In the 12 years I've lived here, I can't remember a dryer wet season or a hotter one - or am I wrong? There's no Sierra snow pack to keep our reservoirs full in the summer, either. We could be in for a lot of forest fires (but the "good" news is, there's not much of the Angeles National Forest left to burn) and water rationing. The main offenders of the watering ban were the condos. No one person takes responsibilty for their landscaping, I guess.
- March 13, 2012 at 7:51 PM
- altadenahiker said...
What have we gotten this year -- 2 inches of rain? Something like that. And that's not even our water source -- we depend on snow pack and there's been no snow.
We who live next to the the hills will be white-knuckling it this summer.

I think we're in for a dry summer here, as well. About an hour away from us they routinely have horrific forest fires and homes are lost. I'd rather not add that to my list of experiences, if you know what I mean.
Thanks for your suggestion about the bird seed - although I'm a little leary about trying it. We currently have about 20 redwinged blackbirds at our little birdfeeder every morning, in addition to the two red flickers and numerous smaller finch, etc. We even had a crow visit the other day. Then, there are the deer that continue to come in the early evening and eat whatever scraps of birdseed the birds have left behind in their feeding frenzy. I'd hate to attract bears or something with a tantalizing birdseed treat. I mean, who knew birdseed would be such a draw?

a "pharmacy"! Deluxe.
The whole water rationing thing is foreign to we spoiled NYers who get our water from the reservoir to the north. One hour north of NYC and it's all forests, camp scenes and tiny towns..I gotta go!

After reading this, I'm very pleased that rain is overabundant here. The fact that the back yard was a cow pasture for nearly 200 years before becoming a yard is just an added bonus: my lawn is green in August when everyone else is dried up. Of course, with the cooler and wetter climate comes the dreaded s-word. But only 7" of that fell this year. So maybe people will be howling that the aquifers are low this year. Who knows?

As Pierre said, dry here. Over 90 days without rain thus this year. Wait, wasn't 90 days ago actually last year?
I'm a sucker for anything green in the garden. That goes for weeds and volunteer flowers. And tomatoes!

We're having a drought in the south east of England, and the hosepipe ban has just been announced.
Foreigners (and Brits) struggle to conceive of the UK as a dry place. Yet London gets less annual rainfall than Rome, and water shortages are becoming a real problem here.
We're miles behind Californians in figuring out sensible ways of dealing with this. Most folks are aghast at the notion that running their washing machine or dishwasher could EVER be limited, under any circumstances.

Good news!!! It's been snowing for the past couple of hours up here in Mammoth...source for a significant portion of water in LA!!! Currently it's a bit warm and the snow is not sticking, but tonight the temps are supposed to drop significantly. They're expecting about 4 feet this weekend. Not a lot, but a few more drops for the LA bucket!!!

Budget around £400: My son wants a camera for free running (running, jumping, climbing, summersaults etc quick movements, requiring fast tracking, possibly in low light levels). He wants this as much for movies as pictures.
He was advised to get a Canon 700D but to me the spec, especially for movies wasn't as good as for the other models mentioned.
I've currently purchased the DMC-G5, as has less shutter lag and does 20 fps continuous shooting. I'm now having second thoughts as the spec for the A58 and NX are better in other areas eg pixels, I'm not sure which has best detection for tracking this kind of movement and 4/3rds vs APS-C. The NX is really stretching the budget for the tasks required but do want to consider.
Any advise greatly appreciated, though not too technical please as my knowledge is very limited. My son also has limited knowledge, so camera needs to be user friendly but with options to improve as he learns.

This is a beautiful wood pretend play sewing machine that provides hours of creative fun, pretending to sew, imitating mom or dad at the sewing machine. The large wooden needle goes up and down as the child winds the knob on the right round and round. This is a great gift for girls and boys. The base is 12" wide, 5 1/2" deep, 9" tall, and the Sewing Machine weighs over 2 pounds. No two are exactly alike because our aristan uses different woods each time. Sewing Machine is made of solid wood with a food-grade canola oil rubbed in. Often, "found" or "recycled" wood is used to make parts of the sewing machine. Sometimes there is "spalting" which is a greying color in the wood, or there are sometime worm holes in the wood. The worms are long gone but there maybe be some little holes in the wood that does not affect the function of the sewing machine. Handmade in the USA.
4/1/2013 The batch our crafter just delivered is beautiful! No spalting, no wormholes. Just various beautiful shades of wood.
Featured in Living Crafts Magazine, December 2007 as a fabulous "Sewing Toy"!
"The wooden toy sewing machine arrived today. It was in perfect condition. Thank you for taking the time to hand pick the toy. The wood tones and markings are beautiful. The wheel and needle work very nicely together. My two year old granddaughter will be back with me on Tuesday after spring break. I know she is going to love "sewing" with grandma. This little wooden sewing machine will give her a neat sewing experience she craves and the safety I wanted. Thanks again for helping me with this project. Kay H. Kettering, Ohio 4/1/2013"
"Sonya, ...I am super excited to give this to my two year old as her next birthday gift in November. I sew a lot and she really wants to 'help' me. Thank you again so much for your help. I will send you a photo of this in action. It will also be passed down to my 10 month old when she is old enough it will see great use! Thank you for everything! Krista H." Lebanon, NJ 8/11/08
"Hi Sonya, I purchased one of the wooden sewing machines this past MAy. It is a holiday gift, and it has been hard to keep it hidden. I meant to write sooner, but wanted to say thank you for carrying such wonderful toys and gifts. The sewing machine is beautiful, and it is going to be loved. It will definitely be one of those saved toys to pass down someday. It is great to have found a wonderful store to buy from from! Thanks you! Namaste, Jamie H. Deering, NH 10/18/08"
"Thanks Sonya for getting the little wooden sewing machine here so quickly, "Wow"! is what my son said when we opened it!!! It's really beautiful - love the different woods and the mechanics of it: like a tribal weaving instrument! Have a great Holiday season, Cecily, Napa, CA 11/10/2010"

Post subject: AAR: Mosby's Raiders...Klingon Style
We played a home grown scenario for a second time tonight. The first result was very different from tonight's game. Both session were fought using Fleet Scale.
To draw Federation forces away from the main battle zones the Klingons have launched a series of raids aimed at commercial targets. Their intention is to incite Federation industrial interests to demand greater protection for their ships and commercial facilities. One Klingon squadron is about to discover that the strategy is working! It's heading towards an independent commercial platform and a federation convoy doing business in a border system...
A Klingon raiding squadron composed of a D5 War Cruiser and F5 Frigate start at the southwest corner of the map (an old SFB hand played this force tonight).
A Federation patrol consisting of an NCL and Frigate start 26 hexes directly north of the Klingons (we gave these ships to a new player...he'd have time to learn the rules as he approached the main battle zone).
17 hexes east and 6 hexes north of the Klingons is a planet with a commercial platform (direction C from planet), one large freighter, and two small freighters in orbit. The freighters are facing south with the large one due north of the platform and about to dock, one small freighter just un-docking, and the third south-west of the platform about to accelerate away. (I ran the commercial assets as their objective was straight forward and I could help our new player.)
Klingon player receives VP as follows:
1 VP Per Small Fed Freighter Destroyed
3 VP Large Fed Freighter Destroyed
2 VP Independent Commercial Platform Destroyed
Federation Warships Destroyed
Klingon Ships Escape Off South Edge
Klingon Ships Destroyed
0/1/2 VP = Klingon Major/Average/Minor Defeat
3 VP = Tie
4/5/6+ VP = Klingon Minor/Average/Major Victory
The freighters must plot courses to move as quickly as possible away from the Klingons and towards the protection of the Federation patrol (they can escape off the north edge). The Fed patrol must rapidly move to interfere with the Klingon assault as much as possible to prevent the destruction of the commercial assets.
The Federation player's problem is simple at first glance. The challenge is one of timing and speed vs firepower balance. Rush in too fast one may not have sufficient energy to tackle the Klingon ships. Move too slowly and the Kingons have time to ransack the freighters and platform. Long range fire can frustrate Klingon efforts but may not prove decisive.
The Klingons have the most difficult problem. In one or two turns they need to destroy or disable enough commercial assets to at least tie the game. At that point fleeing the battle will provide a minor victory (3 VP for asset destruction and 1 VP for both ships escaping) while staying to engage the patrol directly can go either way. Disabling the freighters and then destroying the Fed patrol can set-up a major victory but it's very difficult to pull off since so much firepower must be directed at the commercial assets initially.
The Klingon squadron stuck together and immediately lobbed drones at the large freighter which, along with a small freighter, was accelerating away (east and then north) on the far side of the planet.
A small freighter tried to run for it on the near (west) side of the planet and was heavily damaged on turn 1 as it turned north (it was reduced to zero energy and so would not escape the battle until DC restored power). The Klingon ships bypassed the stricken vessel to stop the others from fleeing.
On turns 2 and 3 the Klingon raiders caught up with the other two freighters which had managed to shoot down and/or tractor the Klingon drones (with supporting long range phaser fire from the approaching Fed patrol). They rapidly destroyed the large freighter (3 VP) and severely damaged the small freighter with phaser and disruptor fire reducing its power to nearly zero.
But by now the Fed patrol had arrived within 8 hexes of the Klingon raiders which were facing due south after looping through the convoy to hit it with aft phasers. (The Klingons essentially looped east-northeast and then south during their attack.) A volley of Photon Torpedoes and phaser fire dropped the rear shield of the F5 frigate but poor die rolls failed to destroy the ship (only one torp hit and the phaser rolls were really bad!).
At this point, facing two fresh warships in their rear arc and with the F5 damaged, the Klingon player escaped off the south map edge (1VP for both ships escaping).
Result: 4 VP...A minor and very narrow Klingon Victory. It really could have gone either way. Had the final Fed patrol volley been more effective the F5 may well have been destroyed before leaving the table. The result would have been a tie at 3 VP assuming the D5 escaped.
And both small freighters were near death. Had the Fed patrol not provided long range anti-drone support during the Offensive/Direct Fire phases they probably would have been destroyed since their PH-3s had been destroyed and one of them lost its tractor beam...
Finally, had the Klingon patrol looped east-southeast to north through the convoy rather than north to south they would have been facing the Feds head-on after attacking the convoy. In the actual event the Klingon player said he took the north-south course specifically to be set up to flee if needed. A wise decision as it turned out!
In a previous session the Klingon player (a different member of our group) divided his squadron and his fire with predictable results. He destroyed the "wester/near" small freighter (nearly a "gimme" in the scenario design) when its captain turned too wide to the west (that was me at the helm.)
But he then divided his fire for a couple of turns between the platform, the approaching patrol, and the other two freighters. The two freighters easily escaped with minor damage, the platform was never seriously threatened, and the patrol was of course able to concentrate all of its firepower on the Klingon frigate which was destroyed.
The D5 managed to escape with the result being 1 VP for the Klingons (Klingon Defeat).
We'll probably play again but with a different Klingon strategy. It would be interesting to try a south-north attack vector by heading east-southeast towards the planet to trail the fleeing convoy heading north. Disable the convoy as much as possible and then face the Feds head-on. The problem of course is that if the Fed player is cautious he'll arrive on station with overloaded torps...then again, he must actually hit something with them!

I might have to try this one on my group's Klingon.
scenarios were he has to not destroy the Fed warships. It's fun to watch him grumble when he has to ally to destroy a monster, etc.

Here are the setup details. Since everything is positioned relative to the Klingon squadron both hex sizes work the same.
- Map is Fixed
- Large Hex Panels: 3 Tall x 4 Wide
- Small Hex Panels: 2 Tall x 3 Wide
- 8-turn limit and then things get too hairy for the tardy raiders...Klingons automatically lose if still on the table at end of turn 8 as more Fed cut them off.
- Fleet Scale Forces
- Klingon Squadron: 1x D5 War Cruiser, 1x F5 Frigate
- Federation Squadron: 1x New Light Cruiser, 1x Frigate
- Civilian Assets: 1x Civilian Platform, 1x Large Freighter, 2x Small Freighters
1. Place Klingon Squadron in extreme southwest corner hex (ie bottom-left) facing direction B.
2. Place the Federation Squadron in 26th hex
north of the Klingon squadron facing direction C.
3. Count 17 hexes east of the Klingon squadron and then count 4 hexes north and place a planet in that hex.
4. Place Civilian Assets relative to planet as follows:
- Civilian Platform adjacent to planet in direction C
- 1x Large Freighter adjacent to planet in direction C, heading D
- 1x Small Freighter adjacent to planet in direction B, heading D
- 1x Small Freighter adjacent to planet in direction D, heading E
When the game starts the freighters are assumed to be maneuvering at low speed and going about their business of loading and unload cargo, getting ready to dock, just completed undocking, etc. None are docked at that very moment the game starts and none have fulfilled their Turn Modes at the start. Therefore the freighters start with their turn and slip points co-located with the individual ships but otherwise ready to move.
The freighters and Fed warships may exit the map off the north edge only since the scenario takes place in/near the Neutral Zone along the Federation/Tholian/Klingon border. The Klingons may only exit the southern edge.
Since the freighters need to avoid the Klingons while fleeing to the safety of the Fed Squadron and the north map edge they'll need to do some hard maneuvering to come about and head north (hint: spend energy to stay in place while fulfilling turn modes...at least until on heading B in the case of the two "eastern" freighters and direction F in the case of the "western" freighter). How and when to turn is really driven but the speed and angle of the Klingon's approach.
Both sides have plenty of chances to mess up but the flow of the game will be determined by how the Klingons try to assemble their minimum 4 VP. Last night the Klingon player went for the large Freighter (3 VP) and a 2-ship escape (1 VP).
The Klinks could also ignore the Freighters, kill the Fed Warships (1 VP), destroy the platform at their leisure (2 VP) and then do a 2-ship escape (1 VP)...assuming both ships survive!
In any case killing or disabling a light freighter during the approach can be helpful in the end game to ensure a tie or mitigate a loss. They go down much easier than the large freighter but you only get 1 VP for each.
Another option is to overwhelm the Platform with drones and close range phaser/disrupter fire since it's generally out of support range of the Fed warships until it's too late (2 VP) . Combined with a 2-ship escape (1 VP) the Klingon is almost assured a tie at minimum.
Finally, the Klingon can assume a 1-ship escape (0 VP) and go for greater destruction by sacrificing one of their ships, but that's very risky.

One sure sign of recovery in boom-and-bust power-generation markets is the renewed growth in the planning and construction of power plants. Active efforts are underway in generation development in...
Power-Plant Development: Raising the Stakes
Duke Energy's Jim Turner and other utility executives weigh the odds on billion-dollar bets.
at particular times of the day and use new metering infrastructure as a way to facilitate that happening." Turner would not hazard a guess as to how many power plants would not have to be built as a result of such efficiency measures.
But Dan Merilatt, manager of the demand-response program at Cannon Technologies/Cooper Power Systems, has worked on many of these programs and has a strong view of what can be achieved. He says many programs have garnered up to 30 percent of customers with central air conditioning, which represents a significant amount of dispatchable load control. "If you looked at that in the market nationally, that would allow maybe 10 percent of the summer-time peak demand that could be met through demand response alone or through these load-control programs," he says. "It can be met at a cost that is about half what a greenfield combustion turbine would cost."
Merilatt wouldn't suggest that these replace combustion turbines, but as part of the supply mix, he says it is an economical way of meeting peak demand in the summer.
"I think these programs are full-cost in marketing and incorporating customer incentives, keeping customers engaged, and buying and installing the devices and servicing them. If you roll that up, the present value of a whole program is pretty close to half of what a combustion turbine would cost you over its life cycle as well," Merilatt says.
He believes these programs bring "good value" for electric utilities because they do not discomfort customers. "Maybe less than 1 percent of customers are even aware that these cycling or control events are occurring. And those that do can probably call a customer-service center and have themselves removed from the event as the devices that are deployed are all individually addressable."
The Long Odds on Coal
Even while some utility executives might be reluctant to bet on coal given impending climate-change legislation, many experts say it's a bet they will have to make. "Carbon regulation does not mean the end of coal. I think the country would be foolhardy to think that. I think our commission in North Carolina got that very clearly," Turner says. "To me [the TXU decision to not build coal plants] was not earth-shattering news that said, 'Uh oh, coal plants are now off limits.'
"You are always going to have coal in the mix, even with TXU's decision, even if Congress mandates carbon regulation. The country should want to have coal in the mix from an energy-security standpoint and a competitive standpoint," he says.
Turner says Duke Energy has taken a novel approach to making coal a more reasonable alternative given emissions considerations. The utility gave several concessions, for lack of better word, that made coal more politically and socially acceptable, in exchange for building new coal units.
"We said we were going to spend up to 1 percent of our Carolinas revenues on energy efficiency investments. The number that was used in the case was about $50 million per year. We were putting our money where our mouth was

The 2013 Gamecocks continued the best run in program history by winning eleven games for the third season season in a row. South Carolina never dropped out of the top 15 the entire year finishing the year ranked number 4. They capped off a great season with a 34-24 win over Wisconsin in the Capital One Bowl. Even with quarterback Connor Shaw leaving the Gamecocks have the potential to be the best offense in the SEC in 2014. Dylan Thompson will be the new quarterback and has experience with the offense. He will have some help from veteran wide receivers Pharoh Cooper, Shaq Roland, Nick Jones, and Rory Anderson. 2014 looks to be another successful year for South Carolina as they find themselves ranked in the preseason top 15 once again.
The South Carolina Gamecocks are members of the Eastern Division in the Southeastern Conference. Gold Coast Tickets has the best selection for all your college football needs this season! They operate under head coach Steve Spurrier at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia,which holds just over 80,000 fans. They have one conference title and 18 bowl appearances all-time.

Butter terms beginning with D to G, including dessert butter, flavored butter, fruit butter, garlic butter and ghee. If you'd like to suggest others terms, use the Contact Us link on this page. This is Page 3 of a seven-page glossary. Click on the black links below to visit other pages. If you love to learn about food, see our 60 different food glossaries.
Usually unsalted, cultured butter. A culture is added to the cream and allowed to stand overnight for the acid flavor to develop before churning.
A sweet compound butter that is used either in cooking, to make a hard sauce, or to serve as a spread with a plain, breadlike dessert such as zucchini bread or carrot bread. Examples for the latter include strawberry butter; other examples include rum butter for steamed puddings.
See clarified butter.
Butter with more milkfat than regular butter: butter with more than 82% milkfat is considered European-style. Some European-style butters, such as that from Straus, is as high as 85% to 86%. Since European-style butter has a lower moisture content, using it results in better pastries, icings and sauces.
Fruit butter, such as apple butter, is a thick fruit spread for bread made by slowly cooking fruit, sugar and spices together. It contains no butter or other dairy product. It is referred to as a butter because of its spreadable consistency.
Butter that is blended with garlic (chopped, crushed, minced, or garlic powder): the intensity of the garlic flavor is a function of the amount of garlic used and the amount of time the mixture is allowed to stand. Two of the most popular uses are garlic bread and escargots; it can also be used to garnish meat, fish, seafood, pasta, potatoes and other vegetables.
A relative of clarified butter that originated millennia ago in India. It is taken a step further than traditional clarified butter by simmering until all of the moisture evaporates and the milk solids begin to brown, giving the butter a nutty, caramel-like flavor and aroma. This extra step also gives ghee a longer life and much higher smoke point than regular clarified butter, almost 485°F/252°C*. This makes ghee the best butter for sautéing and frying. Today, the best commercial ghee comes from Holland, followed by Scandinavia and Australia. While ghee was originally made only with unsalted butter made from water buffalo milk, today it can be made with any unsalted butter; the healthiest ghee, with conjugated linoleic acid and vitamin K2, is made from grass-fed cow's milk.
Flavored ghee is created by adding ginger, peppercorns, cumin et al at the beginning of the clarifying process. See our review of Ancient Organics Ghee, which includes a recipe for making ghee.
*Per Wikipedia; other sources say 375°F.
A grainy condition imparts a granular consistency when the butter is melted on the tongue.
Attributable to the use of too much salt or undissolved salt due to insufficient working of butter.

If you go down to H&M today, you'll find a veritable fashion SHOWER! That's what Grazia Daily found when we took a detour to the brand's Regent Street store this morning for the launch of Anna Dello Russo's faaaabulous accessories line for H&M.
Excited fashion bunnies were queuing round the block (many had arrived at midnight - gulp) and several were wearing the ADR masks we'd been treated to at that fash-tastic Paris Fashion Week party. The eager shoppers were wisely strategising their plan of attack and drawing up VERY long shopping lists.
Once inside, it was each shopper for herself. The crowds were divided into groups and allocated five minute sprees in the designated area, which was brilliantly OTT - from glitzy stands to gold balloons and even a special ADR DJ. Much elbowing ensued with high-heeled ladies grabbing armfuls of turquoise boxes holding earrings, necklaces, bracelets... You already know what we made a beeline for.
Those playful suitcases were the first to go - perfect for a city break, no? - and the blinging sunglasses proved incredibly popular too. Outside the store, we grabbed a few of the happy shoppers to grill them on their buys and what they love about the Queen of Bling.
So let's play Shop and Tell! We want to see what YOU bought...

This is the reflexology massager that uses soothing infrared light and invigorating vibration to stimulate pressure points on the feet, melting away pain and soreness. The device sets up like a footrest at the base of any chair and is activated with a convenient remote control. The molded footbed has 112 nodules strategically placed on its surface that target reflexology points to rejuvenate tired feet and loosen knots. While the high-frequency vibration penetrates tense muscles, the warmth can boost circulation and ease stress. It comes preprogrammed with relaxing 5-, 10-, and 15-minute sessions, or users can manually select from 12 vibration speeds (from 2,000 to 2,500 rpm) and eight levels of infrared light. Flexible rubber feet on the unit�s base provide stability and prevent marring of floors. Plugs into AC. 15 1/2" L x 13" W x 7 1/2" D. (14 lbs.)

By Susan
from Toronto, Ontario, Canada
I've been experiencing aches in my lower legs and ankles ever since I turned 50. I've looked at lower leg massagers, but they're bulky, so I thought that this might help. First off: the Foot Massager vibrates - not a massager like shiatsu. And boy, does it vibrate - my feet are tingly when I'm finished the session. There are set programs of 5, 10 and 15 minutes which vary the vibrating speeds and heat over the duration - 5 minutes once a day is good for me. When my husband had frozen shoulder, the physical therapist used a vibrating massage with heat - this does the same thing.It comes with a very simple remote control (and battery!) so you don't have to bend down to turn it on. I've got it on wood floors, and it is a bit loud, but you can still hear the TV or conversations over it; not a problem, however, if you remove your feet, it does have a tendency to move along the floor! The nodules or bumps on the machine don't vibrate individually, the whole top section vibrates as a whole. It says you can use it on other areas of your body (arms, legs) but you might have to contort to angle these parts on the machine - it's best for feet.So far, my mother has tried it (78), my sister has tried it (46), and we all love it. Simple to use, not bulky, can push it under a couch when finished. Great buy!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very Satisfied with quality
By Janedo
from North Bay, Ontario, Canada
I have a friend who has just become a reflexologist. I had her try it and she approved it. Shipping was very prompt. I gave her a copy of your calalogue and she is ordering "towel warmer" from you.

One of our "better" purchases
By happy feet
from Punta Gorda, FL
I suffer from neuropathy and this has really helped with the pain and numbness in my feet. I also use it on my calfs and that really helps the circulation and I am able to walk much better now.
Stress and Pain Relief both
By Dr Saundra C
from Taylor, MI
I use the product once or twice a week especially after walking or exercise that causes aching feet. I feel the effects in my legs and back as well. I would like it if the foot pads moved in some way other than simply vibrating, but the heat function is effective also.

A solid Product that works well
By Betty
from Kennewick, WA
The more you use this product the more comfortable it feels on your feet. This first time was uncomfortable, but now I love it. Try using it with socks the first few times this will help your feel to adjust, my feet have adjusted to it and it is great, still use the 5 min auto program, and will work up to 10 min. I can't wait to use this after a round of golf... !!
Overdesigned: simpler sometimes better
By JM
from Cincinnati OH
Unsure if we are keeping this: the product made a squeaking sound right off the bat.Feet are hardly ever exactly like anyone else's: the bumpers and knobs on the platform are painful to my flat feet, and, more importantly, they make it difficult to achieve full contact to the entire sole of the foot. I would imagine many of your potential buyers would have fallen arches.Designers would do better to design to "typical", rather than getting too clever with an idea that's really not true for most users - i.e., the high, hard knobs and projections on the platform. Another company that first made hi-freq feet vibrators like these had a better simple, flat platform.

Very close to "hands on" reflexology.
By none

Expecting long range use will attain the full benefits of Reflexology. Infrared is great.

Bought one and it broke first day but it did feel really good on my feet so replaced it and this one seems to be doing fine.

Latest update : 2012-11-26
France pulls its troops out of Kapisa
French combat troops have pulled out of the Kapisa region of Afghanistan, where they had been in charge of training up the Afghan National Army, whose forces will replace them. It's been 11 years since the French military was first deployed in the country and 88 of their number have been killed in action there. President François Hollande had vowed to bring the soldiers as soon as possible, but 1,500 will stay in Afghanistan for the time being.

The sizing is a joke! Large is extra small. Do not bother to order this. The snap broke on the first snap! Waste of money. Don't bother
The snow pants appeared to be good quality but ran VERY small. I ordered the next size up but haven't received them yet so I hope I don't have to return those and go for a size large! My daughter wears a size 3 junior jean and has small hips but could barely get these snow pants over her hips, much less zip them. I seriously considered getting two sizes up, but she will not be happy if they are super huge, either. A very easy return helped.

Illinois Department of Human Services staff in Springfield are in the holiday spirit. The lobby at the IDHS headquarters in Springfield is decorated for Christmas but there is also something special - a military look.
IDHS staff are supporting Governor Quinn's Warm our Warriors campaign to ensure that Illinois veterans and their families have winter clothing. To highlight the charitable effort several staff have brought in military articles to help showcase the Warm our Warriors theme.
Security guard Dee Merrifield donated a Christmas tree and military uniforms. IDHS staffers Patti Thean, Gail Maxeiner, Colette Ellenberg, and Flo D'Elia have also helped decorate adding a homey living room to the IDHS lobby. In addition, Dan Underwood of buildings and grounds, a Vietnam veteran of the U.S. Navy, brought in the hats from the four branches of the military.
Collections for the Warm our Warriors drive will continue until December 20. So bring in new or gently used coats, hats, gloves, scarves or socks and non-perishable food items. For more information on Warm our Warriors, call Ethel Spencer at 217-557-4193.

Associated Press
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - A federal judge on Friday sentenced a Virginia woman to 20 years in prison after she pleaded guilty to producing child pornography.
Jessica Shockley, 24, of Bland, Va., had pleaded guilty earlier to sending images of herself sexually molesting an infant to a man in Wyoming in 2011.
Before U.S. District Judge Alan B. Johnson in Cheyenne pronounced her sentence, Shockley stood at a podium chained at her ankles and her wrists, and sobbed occasionally as she thanked her "higher power" for bringing her to court.
"I needed help when I was a child and I didn't know how to ask for it," Shockley said. She said she's eager to show people that she has changed.
Investigators arrested Shockley last year after finding the images on a cellphone belonging to James Hawkins, of Rock Springs. Authorities said Shockley met him in an Internet chat room.
Hawkins has pleaded guilty to receiving child pornography. He was sentenced last year to more than 17 years in prison.
Shockley's lawyer, Mel Dunn, told Johnson before Friday's sentencing that she had been sexually abused over the years.
"All of her experiences left her in the position, I believe, of being a throw-away woman," Dunn said.
Charles W. Denison, a forensic psychologist, testified he had examined Shockley and concluded that she understood that her actions were wrong. "She has a long history of being a victim," he said.
Denison said Shockley has a dependent personality disorder, meaning she's willing to do what others ask her to do in order to feel accepted. He said he's satisfied that she's not a pedophile.
"It's more or less the perfect storm," Denison said of Shockley's behavior. "That kind of dependent personality disorder coming together with a man who could exploit her really creates this type of problem."
Federal law specified that Shockley faced between 15 and 30 years in prison. Prosecutor Jim Anderson, of the U.S. attorney's office, urged Johnson to sentence her to the maximum.
Anderson said many young women are sexually abused or assaulted. "Just because someone has been abused doesn't mean they're going to turn around and be an offender," he said.
In pronouncing sentence, Johnson said he felt sympathy for what had happened to Shockley in her life and sympathy for her personality disorder. "This is a tragedy everywhere you look," he said.
Shockley will receive credit for nearly a year of jail time she's already served. She'll remain under federal supervision for life upon her release from prison.

Ultrabook, tablet shipments to surge
Market watcher DisplaySearch has forecast Ultrabook shipments of around 180m units in 2017 with a steep upward curve through previous years. It hasn't entirely been turned by the Intel Kool Aid, mind. Notebook shipments as a whole will hit, it reckons, 426.6m units that year, so the Ultrabook category will have nabbed just 42.2 …
"Netbooks haven't taken the beating some observers thought the category might, with 2011 shipments set to hit 25.2m units, up 20 per cent year on year."
Might that be because they are so much cheaper than ithings?
Mine runs Linux Mint! and is waay more useful to me than a tablet
not only cheaper, they also have keyboards... a 'killer feature' for many
"That said, it's clear from DisplaySearch's figures that netbook unit shipments will now fall each year through 2017, down to about 9m units that year."
...The falling figures from DisplaySearch are all projections, the actual figures only show growth.
So, well... we know how statistics are always funny, and we know how statistical projections are mostly hilarious. Didn't your parents tell you not to trust any statistic you didn't skew yourself?
Does that include MacBook Air?
If so Apple must be pleased.
If not, then perhaps the price might be going down to below MBA - $100
Ultrabooks - me arse!
If the current mediocre crop of ultrabooks is anything to go by the only surge I foresee is a surge in their discounting.
Gotta agree
I have a Ver1 Macbook Air that I love and that has been a great laptop (though getting a touch long in the tooth and beat to death). I don't think I truly appreciated the engineering of it until I got a hulking Dell XPS at work that seems less solid and weighs approximately the same as a Hollywood ego. However, the other manufacturers' ultrabooks just don't seem to match the overall engineering quality of the Air. It's little things, and each one individually might not be a big deal, but they add up. It's a product where design, engineering, and attention to detail make a BIG difference, and most PC manufacturers have more of a cut-cost-cut-cost mentality.
high-cost+rubbish screen = won't fly
I have an ancient pentium mobile compaq laptop - 1440x900
Apple will just be laughing as they watch the competition run like lemmings over a cliff.
Oh yes, and is your docking station a 27" IPS screen connected by one cable?
Two cables
One cable for thunderbolt and one for power. My docking station has no cables to connect to the laptop. I just place the laptop on the docking station and it docks.
However I don't think any of the current ultrabooks have any kind of docking provision so that's one more tick in the Air column.
If the air came with a proper keyboard with the Ctrl key in the right place and a hash key I'd buy one and just run windows on it.
Ultrabooks are the future - similar performance to a full sized laptop but much smaller. I have had two netbooks - yes they are cheaper but they are dogs and got very little use. The Macbook Air is a ultra book done the right way - solid state, good battery life, great screen and fast enough to use as a desktop for most requirements.
Expensive, something everyone can afford these days right???
"If the air came with a proper keyboard with the Ctrl key in the right place and a hash key I'd buy one and just run windows on it."
You can use an external keyboard - either USB extended keyboard or a bluetooth one.
The hash key is just ALT+3 on a Mac keyboard - no big deal. I swapped from Windows 7 to Lion and it was surprising easy. Macbook Air plugged into a 27" Thunderbolt display - beautiful screen and charges the MBA so no need to buy / carry an extra power supply.
....is a lot of cash to spend on a display just to not carry an extra power supply :p
Should add it's ALT+3 on a UK keyboard for the # symbol - on the US keyboard it is just SHIFT+3
5 years from now..
As if anyone has any idea whatsoever how the market will stand in 5 years. What a load of cobblers.
"....is a lot of cash to spend on a display just to not carry an extra power supply :p"
Of course that was not the only reason - it's a fantastic display - made 'better' by it being able to charge my Macbook Air - even The Reg agree:

unless there's specific adds that don't need to be tanked, assume you'll be tanking everything.
I just dinged 80 the other day and i quested to get there. I'm now doing the low level dungeons in northrend and i have a question. When i'm tanking a boss am i suppose to gather up the adds as well or leave them to my dps?
unless there's specific adds that don't need to be tanked, assume you'll be tanking everything.
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
Confirmed, tanks who arent able to tank a packet or two, as more than 4 mobs and keeping aggro...
On dungeons...
So pretty much learn to keep threat on multiple mobs.
Assume that the dps are cannons made of glass. If they take even the smallest amount of damage they will shatter.
Try and tank everything you can.
In most cases, yes you do need to deal with them. There are a few exceptions.
UK : 1st and 2nd bosses have adds, in both cases they are your responsibility.
UP : 1st boss, the adds aren't tankable, everyone just needs to DPS them down. 3rd boss, they stop spawning when you get the boss. You still need to hold any that are still up.
AN : 1st boss - unless you screw up or are going for the achievement, all adds are dead before the boss. 2nd boss, same thing. 3rd boss, adds alternate with boss. Worry about the big ones, the little ones die too fast to wory about tanking.
OK : 1st boss, only the Guardian add do you really need to worry about.
Nexus : General, all adds are your responsibility. Anomolus, with a well geared group you can largely ignore the adds, with low gear you need to deal with them. Crystalus, not really your problem.
Occ : all adds are your issue
Drak : 1st boss, ignore them. 2nd boss, during first phase, the ones one the ground are yours, and the DPS should be able to deal with everything from the stairs w/o you. 3rd boss - all yours.
Gundrak : Only adds are on the snake, and you can't really do much about them.
HoS : Brann is all adds and they are all your issue. Last fight it depends on the groups gear level. Overgeared groups you can ignore them, low gear, you need to pick them up.
HoL : General - your responsibility. Rock dude - they randomly retarget fairly often and aren't tankable.
ToC - The ghouls during black knight randomly retarget and are only semi-tankable.
FoS - no adds on bosses
PoS - 1st boss, they are yours to hold onto.
HoR - the 'adds' such as they are are really the whole fights in question and are yours to deal with.
With the way groups are geared these day, it pretty much doesn't matter, the dps will burn the boss fast anyway.
What Theotherone said is generally true, however try not to get in the habit of ignoring adds. I made this mistake last night. I was tanking H UP last night and on Skadi (3rd boss), apparently 2 more adds spawned after he landed and I missed them. Nuked my healer and wiped . Situational awareness is key for a tank. You should always be ready to pick up adds at any time.
Also having the healer as "focus target" helps in five mans. That way you can pull him/her right in your line of site for easy intervene macros or taunt.

Mastery is uber for warriors. Reforge everything into it, seek it out wherever possible (within reason - I wouldn't consider using a DPS trinket to be viable no matter how much mastery is on it, unless you're building a threat set).
For that reason I would use the Crab over the Finger, however one could make a case for Impetuous Query being better than both (I don't play a warrior myself, I just read the threads on here that are all like "ZOMG MASTERY MUST HAVE GET IT GET IT GET IT"... so I can't say for sure :-P ).
For heroics you can wear dual avoidance/mitigation trinkets, or one of each - it doesn't make a huge difference, to be honest. Stacking pure stam is, aside from some of the heroic mode raid bosses (or so I hear), not viable. For some of the entry raids, I'd suggest one stam trinket and one avoidance/mitigation trinket. So the Crab (reforged into Mastery) and the JC trinket, in my opinion.
If you really want to drop some cash, you could do what I did and pick up Alchemy for Lifebound Alchemist Stone which is basically the most amazing thing ever. <3 it

An air filter is an important part of a heating and cooling system. A clean filter intercepts particles such as dust and fibers that build up on the blower fan and the heating and cooling coils. Such particle buildup reduces performance, restricts airflow through the system, and shortens operating life. Secondarily, high-quality filters can improve a home's indoor air quality.

Rechargeable lithium-based technology currently provides the best performance for your Apple notebook computer, iPod, iPhone, or iPad. You can also find this standard battery technology in many other devices. Apple batteries share the characteristics common to lithium-based technology in other devices. Like other rechargeable batteries, these batteries may eventually require replacement.
Standard Technology
Lithium-ion polymer batteries have a high power density that gives you a long battery life in a light package. And you can recharge a lithium-ion polymer battery whenever convenient, without requiring a full charge or discharge cycle.
Standard Charging
Most lithium-ion polymer batteries use a fast charge to charge your device to 80% battery capacity, then switch to trickle charging. Thats about two hours of charge time to power an iPod to 80% capacity, then another two hours to fully charge it, if you are not using the iPod while charging. You can charge all lithium-ion batteries a large but finite number of times, as defined by charge cycle.
A charge cycle means using all the battery's power, but that doesn't necessarily mean a single charge. For instance, you could listen to your iPod for a few hours one day, using half its power, and then recharge it fully. If you did the same thing the next day, it would count as one charge cycle, not two, so you may take several days to complete a cycle. Each time you complete a charge cycle, it diminishes battery capacity slightly, but you can put notebook, iPod and iPhone batteries through many charge cycles before they will only hold 80 per cent of original battery capacity.
Battery Replacement and Disposal
Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced and disposed of. Products with built-in lithium-ion polymer batteries should be replaced only by Apple or an Apple authorised service provider. Apple and its authorised service providers will ensure the spent battery is recycled properly, since batteries should always be recycled or disposed of separately from household waste. Learn more about Apple's battery replacement options
Once an Apple product reaches the end of its useful life, Apple will help you recycle it responsibly. Learn more about Apple's recycling programme
How to Maximise Power Use
The length of time your battery will power your device depends on how you use it. For instance, watching a DVD will use up your notebook batterys power more quickly than simple word processing. You can follow some easy steps to maximise your notebook, iPod, iPhone or iPad battery life.

The "Christmas In July" sale is winding down, but before all of the sale prices are gone, I wanted to share the things that I made with Berry Merry Winter by SweetMade. The kit is on sale for $4.90 for the next few days only, so you might want to buy it now, and get a jump on your holiday cards and projects. Here's a preview of the kit:
I have a few images to share of the elements I made using the kit, as well as a Peek-A-Boo 4x6 brag book page that I created. If you have never tried making a peek-a-boo page, I've included an image of each step to complete the extremely easy technique on my layout for you to see. This technique requires that you cut out a shape or shapes on the top layer of your layout and then you place the top layer on to another piece of paper. The bottom paper will only show through holes that you made, when you cut out the shapes on the top layer. That's all there is to it.
First, I made a word art border to go on the front of my card and this is what I came up with:
After looking at it, I thought something was missing, so I added a star to kind of balance the border. I think it looks a little better this way
I had so much making the clustered word art border, that I started playing around with a few other things. I like clustering elements and layering them on top of other things. After making a cluster border with the big rose, I tried the cluster out on the frames. This is what I did with the white wooden frame from the kit. I tried using just the cluster on the frame first, but I saw the red metal spiral and I decided to mix that in as well.
The kit has this fun white ribbon in the shape of a Christmas tree and I thought about putting the ribbon tree on top of an evergreen tree using the ribbon tree as white trim for the evergreen tree. I wanted a twist on the normal choice, so I thought hmmm...how can I put the evergreen tree onto the white ribbon Christmas tree and have it work.
The last thing I worked on was the peek-a-boo brag book page. I thought it would be fun to make a few of the circle cut outs into ornament shapes. I used the scallop frame to draw the eye to the more important parts of the layout, the pictures and the date. fun..huh? I had another picture to go in the scallop framed circle at the very top, but it didn't work, so I just let the 2nd paper show through the cut out. Rats! I forgot to take off the scallop frame from around the window/cut out. Oh well. The top cut out would be a fun place to put a little journaling. Then it would become an important part of the layout and the scallop frame would need to be there anyway. tee hee!
Step One:
Step Two:
Step Three:
I used stripe paper for the bottom paper in step two and then I changed the bottom paper to a red diamond paper included in the kit for step three. I did it to show you another one of the papers from the kit. Well that's it for me. Thanks for sticking around through the long post. lol
