The smell of this product is just mind blowing. It's my favourite product from lush. I can smell it in my bathroom and on my skin. It's not very moisturising but rarely any soaps I use are moisturising. They can cut how much you want as well. It's worth a go. Beautiful soap. I hope these never discontinue this product!!

OH MY GOSH, so I've just recently started trying Lush's soaps and when I smelled this one in store, I was in love! It smells exactly like Swedish Fish, but somehow better. I keep taking the pieces of it that I cut up to make it easier to use just to smell. It lathers really well in the shower, which is nice because I typically don't like using bar soap to clean my body with.
The only hold backs I have on this is that Lush doesn't sell a tin for this sort of product, because I can tell this will melt fairly easily once I'm back at university and have to constantly move it back and forth from the shower to where I keep my bath supplies. Also the price wasn't horrible, but still kinda pricey.

Drying soap.. Lush soaps are so overrated, they do look and smell special but the quality is horrible. I didnt like the smell anyway, it smells like the cheap children sirup drink from my youth, not a nice smell, however could handle it.

This soap is sweet smelling. Kind of reminds me of the candy like smell of comforter, creamy candy, melting marshmallow moment, bubblegum lip scrub. Really nice. Nice lather and moisturising too!

I'm a fan of Lush..so was looking forward to using this soap.
I took a knife to it and sliced it up into little pieces, and went on to use a slice every time I showered.
The smell is sweet (some might describe it as sickly-sweet.)
Anyhoo, it does have a nice lather, but I found my skin had a slight reddish tinge in areas after. Also gives you that waxy feeling after, which I found irritating.
I gave away the rest of these bars, cut up and unopened, 'cos for me..it just wasn't worth the hassle.
I think putting it by the sink, and using it as a hand soap might be a better idea.
I'm sure there will be plenty of fans of this soap, it just wasn't my cup of tea.

This soap smells so yum! Like those red Wonkalicious candies. The scent really stays on your skin (and in your bathroom!) for quite a while.
The soap lathers up really well, especially if you use a loofah, and it does last quite a while. I cut my bar up into three pieces so it lasts longer.
The Godmother definitely isn't a moisturising soap, so might not be best for those with really dry skin. But it does leave your skin feeling clean and fresh.
I'd definitely buy this soap again as the smell is just amazing!

Smells like red frogs (Australian's hopefully understand)!! I loved coming out of the shower smelling like lollies. I would use this in summer. The smell really lingers too. I think this is a nice soap, I will buy again, but also am not completely obsessed with it. Is just something fun to have around, does the job and doesn't leave my skin feeling either tight or moisturised.

Decisions, decisions…. – If you haven't voted yet, don't forget that our Annual Reader Poll runs through Sunday, January 20, 2013. I'll admit that I'm one of those still procrastinating over my ballot. My votes for some of the categories jump out at me right away: The Siren was definitely the most unforgettable erotica I read this year and nothing was as much a tear-jerker for me as The Sleeping Night. However, it's very hard for me to vote for just one book in some of the other categories.

Gunnewijk continues GreenEDGE-AIS winning streak
Gent, Belgium 119.4km
Loes Gunnewijk has continued the winning streak of one of the newest teams in the peloton, GreenEDGE - AIS. The Dutchwoman outsprinted compatriot, Ellen van Dijk (Specialized-lululemon) in a two-up finale on a cold, but sunny afternoon.
After a quiet first half of the race, a small group formed, containing the eventual winner. This group stayed together for another 20 kilometres, before some moves were made with the intention of splitting the group further, or of soloing to victory.
The significant move came when Gunnewijk broke away, alone, with around 30 kilometres left to race, on the Paddestraat. She was joined a handful of kilometres later by van Dijk. The pair worked together in to the finish, where Gunnewijk outsprinted van Dijk for the line. Trixi Worrack (Specialized-lululemon) won the bunch sprint and rounded-out the podium.
There were only 36 finishers in this edition of the European season-opener.
GreenEDGE-AIS have now won the Jayco Bay Series, Australian National Championships, Santos women's Cup, Ladies Tour of Qatar and Het Nieuwsblad - every race they have entered. Although the clean sweep may soon end, in the NZCT Tour in New Zealand, American Evelyn Stevens, riding for the USA National Team, is in the leader's jersey with one stage remaining. Shara Gillow (GreenEDGE) is second, five seconds behind Stevens.

Full Biography
Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler was first elected to Congress in 2010, pledging to reduce wasteful spending, stop the intrusion of the federal government in everyday life, and implement a strong national defense policy. Now in her second term, serving on the House Armed Services, Agriculture, and Budget Committees, the Congresswoman has shown effective leadership on these priorities.
Since Vicky first took the oath of office, government spending has been cut by almost $70 billion. For the first time since the Korean War, Federal spending has decreased four years in a row. In addition to reining in overall spending, Vicky has been focused on prioritizing the use of tax dollars to the most important areas.
Through her service on the House Armed Services Committee, Vicky has been instrumental in passing legislation that prioritized national defense, including over $300 million in military construction funds to strengthen the missions at Fort Leonard Wood and Whiteman Air Force Base as well as leading efforts on the Budget Committee to restore $30 billion in scheduled defense cuts.
In 2013, Vicky helped successfully pass a new Farm Bill that expands markets for American agricultural products, encourages agricultural research, and supports the valuable work of our farmers while decreasing government waste. The Farm Bill consolidated 23 duplicative conservation programs into 13 and saved over $24 billion in taxpayer dollars.
Vicky also consistently combats government overreach on key regulatory issues. In 2011, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) unilaterally demanded that 1,200 homes at the Lake of the Ozarks be torn down, even though they were built to comply with local ordinances and building code. Vicky opposed this unnecessary government intervention through the Leave Our Lakes Alone Act, which would stop Washington's heavy-handed administration of hydropower lakes in America. As a result of her leadership, the commission backed down and allowed all 1,200 homes to remain.
Most importantly, Vicky cares for the good people in Missouri's Fourth District and wants the government to work for them, not against them. She loves to hear their ideas, take them to Washington, and advance their positive solutions.
Vicky is a 1983 graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia (summa cum laude, B.S., Education) and a 1992 graduate of Central Missouri State University (now the University of Central Missouri, M.S., Education). She is a former public school teacher, State Representative, and is a small business owner. She lives on a working farm in Cass County with her husband, Lowell, and their daughter, Tiffany.

Typhoon aid comes from local sources
Connecticut joins worldwide relief effort
Connecticut residents are joining worldwide organizations in sending humanitarian relief to survivors of Typhoon Hiayan, which ravaged the Philippines a week ago today. The latest estimates place those killed at more than 2,000.
Filipino American groups otherwise have been low profile in this state, where just 16,129 residents were counted as Filipinos in the 2010 Census. Now they're rallying fellow residents to join them and fundraising giants including the Red Cross and AmeriCares in sending relief.

14% of electricity generated is unaccounted for
In the past 12 years, electrical power generation in Malta increased by 13.3%. Energy statistical data for Malta show that, overall, there was an increasing demand for electrical energy in the past twelve years, although there were noticeable decreases in 2009 and 2010.
The data shows that the highest generated power consumption was registered in 2007 (2.30 million megawatt hours), followed by 2.28 million megawatt hours in 2008. July 2008 saw the highest generated consumption, with 242,991 megawatt hours, while April 2000 saw the lowest, with 137,614 megawatt hours.
July and August for all years featured the highest demand. The average annual maximum was highest in 2005 and 2007, with 363 megawatts. On the other hand, the average annual lowest electricity demand amounted to 301 megawatts in 2000 and 315 megawatts in 2001.
In 2010, the domestic sector absorbed 27% of electrical consumption, while the commercial segment consumed 29%. The data also confirm that approximately 14% of electricity generation is lost during transmission and/or unaccounted for.
To date, Malta relies completely on the consumption of fossil fuels for all its energy requirements. Fossil fuels consumed by power stations absorbed 75% of total fuel consumption.
Additionally, in 2011, road transportation accounted for 19% of total fuel consumption in Malta, while the industrial and commercial sector consumed 4%.

Whoa, I'm impressed, it's a very nice theme. I've just installed it on my testing server.
It's cool for people like me who are really bad at web layout stuff.
One request from me is, if you ever discontinue working on the theme then please post that somewhere, don't let it die a slow death. That just happens too often here and there. Might sound pessimistic but I don't intend to sound like that -- don't get me wrong.
Good job so far, looking forward to further updates.

There is no better day to pay homage to our service men and women than on Memorial Day. "Thanksgiving is a day when we pause to give thanks for the things we have. Memorial Day is a day when we pause to give thanks to the people who have fought for the things we have."
Recently, Veterans competed at the second annual Warrior Games. The U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs hosted 220 servicemen and women who are wounded, injured or ill. The Army, the Navy, the Marines, the Air Force, the Coast Guard and Special Operations Command all participated. Some of the athletes are soldiers you've heard a lot about — injured by a roadside bomb or another combat-related injury. Others are accident victims or suffering from an illness.
Sitting volleyball was a great success at the games and I wanted to share some pictures that were passed along to me. A way to honor these great men and women.

Congratulations to the National Volleyball League for it's successful professional beach volleyball debut tournament at the Preakness in Baltimore, MD! After the AVP went bankrupt, Al-b Hanneman, founder of GObeachfest and Volleyball Vacations, picked up the wandering players and formed The NVL! Mad props to Al-b and to the players that trusted in his vision and ability to create an amazing event in such a short amount of time.
John Hyden (Pensacola, Fla.) and Sean Scott (Kailua, Hi.) became the National Volleyball League's first men's champions defeating Billy Allen (Fallbrook, Calif.) and Matt Prosser. On the women's side, tenth seeded Tealle Hunkus and her partner Heather Lowe claimed the first women's title in NVL history with a victory over number one seed and then undefeated Annett Davis and Lisa Rutledge. Awesome…how exciting!
The website itself is pretty sweet and professional: www.TheNVL.com. Not only are their great bios on the players, but it had four streaming cameras to watch the matches as the days went along. I watched a good bit of the matches throughout the day. There were match updates, the brackets and a chat board for live score updates throughout the matches.
I also have to recognize my long time friend Jenn Snyder and her partner, Erin Gray, for making it to the semi-finals and the opportunity to play on the infield of the Preakness! Follow all your favorite pro players on Twitter and Facebook. These "kids" have to get many sponsors in order to play in the tournaments and the more followers they have, they better opportunity for sponsor support. Follow Jenn Snyder on Twitter here: JennSnyder7 and facebook: JennSnyder7
Continue to follow The NVL through it's remaining tour stops: Malibu, Virginia Beach, Aspen, Miami and Long Beach

Ever play against the "old team"? The team of men or women far older than your team, far slower than your team, that could not jump as high as your team, or hit as hard as your team, but always seemed to beat your team? I thought "Bigger, Faster, Stronger" was the way to victory. Why do the young teams often not win? What is the ideal equilibrium between youth and age, strength and experience? Continue Reading

What if, instead of bringing home perfumey tomatoes, boatloads of kale and pounds of purpled turnip, you could pay for an annual share that would bring to your ears the mellow tones of stand-up bass, piano improv or horn solos?
That novel idea is the guiding principle behind Jazz Shares, the latest project undertaken by Glenn Siegel, jazz impresario and head of UMass radio station WMUA. He already heads up prominent jazz concert series Magic Triangle, Solos and Duos, and World of Piano, but Siegel wants to bring even more sounds to town, and his own longstanding farm share membership provided the inspiration.
"I've heard of other jazz societies and art shares through the grapevine, but I haven't come across anyone else who's doing quite what we're trying to do," Siegel says. "I've wanted to do more jazz presenting for a long time."
"[The farm share] seemed like a good model to be able to do this without any real institutional support, as a bunch of likeminded individuals," Siegel says. "As society crumbles and the institutions along with it, it's more incumbent upon us to grow our own food, make our own art and cultural statements."
When people ask Siegel how jazz is faring, he has a ready answer. "The health of the music is fine; the opportunities to make a living in the music are abysmal," says Siegel. "Now that virtually every major university in the nation has a jazz department, the level of musicianship is through the roof. If you're a composer, you can get people to sight-read the most complicated music you can write. Jazz is changing, it's incorporating world music. It's moving in many directions—it's not the linear projection of jazz from its first 80 years. Now it's everything at once—Gypsy jazz, more rock players like Medeski, Martin and Wood, people coming from Indian music. It's kind of an exciting time to be a listener/consumer because the level of creativity is so high. But I think clubs struggle—the economics are tough for musicians. Unless you have a day gig, a teaching gig or a spouse with a good income, the number of musicians who can make a middle-class living is very small."
Siegel explains that he's contacted by musicians who want to participate in his series, but they sometimes end up saying no because there isn't enough money available to make the trip worthwhile. Because of that, Siegel's approach is, often, to find musicians who are coming near the Valley, and invite them to tack on another gig en route.
"It's kind of what I would call opportunistic—we don't have a ton of money, so our artist fees aren't as generous as I can be at UMass, although they're fairly modest there too. .. We will probably piggyback a lot on Firehouse 12 in New Haven—a cool little club not far from Yale. It's close enough that we can probably entice some people to come up the day before or after."
It's that exact idea that provided the first booking in the Jazz Shares series, a December appearance by the Taylor Ho Bynum Sextet. Others are yet to be determined, but Siegel plans on 10 shows per year. "I'm doing the programming with input from other shareholders," says Seigel. "We're dividing up the work. There's a steering committee of 10 folks who are helping out. Some musicians, some academics, people from all walks of life."
"I've been doing concerts long enough that I have a pretty good core audience of people who come to my shows regularly," Siegel says. "We started [looking for shareholders] there, through my personal email list, and friends, and friends of friends. We're looking to have 100 shareholders. We're halfway there—we're approaching businesses about being sponsors, talking to venues, doing it all at once. We're going to be working at the Arts Block Café in Greenfield; in Holyoke, a Congregationalist church with a sanctuary that seats about 200. In Northampton, Smith College—perhaps—and at the Universalist-Unitarian House in Northampton. We hope to work with the Community Music School in Springfield."
Siegel isn't too concerned about overwhelming local music consumers. "People ask me, 'Don't you think there's a lot of jazz, a lot of music in Valley? Aren't you worried about oversaturation?' The only way to build audience is through exposure. Being in the presence of really talented musicians with something to say—people really respond to it," he says. "The more shows we do, the more audience we'll bring along with us. The fact that the concerts are already paid for takes a little bit of the worry off paying the artist or satisfying the venue. Assuming we have all the sharelolders we need, we'll be able to take some risk. We can lead, not follow."
That proactive attitude is part of what distinguishes the Jazz Shares effort. Though at first blush the idea seems to be just a new name for a season pass, Jazz Shares members will get a chance to be far more than audience members. "Someone might donate their home for a reception after the concert, or there might be a situation where one of the shareholders loans us a drum kit. Different people will write program notes, emcee, pick the musicians up at the train station. I'm doing the lion's share of the work now, but my hope is that as we get rolling over the course of a season or two, more shareholders will step up and do the legwork necessary to make the concerts happen," says Siegel. "People have responded to the idea, the DIY, self-propelled nature of it."
Shareholders can expect a wide variety of styles in the series. "I'm trying to get a well-rounded picture of jazz in the 21st century," Siegel says. "It won't be all avant garde or all traditional. There will be a balance of styles and instruments."
Siegel also hopes, in the long term, to tap into the Valley's growing pool of jazz talent. It may seem surprising that jazz is on the upswing among Valley players, but the evidence is clear.
"There are players at all levels," Siegel says. "IHEG [Iron Horse Entertainment Group] has sort of given up on jazz for the most part—certainly compared to past years—but the jazz workshop at the [Northampton] Clarion has really taken off and galvanized a lot of folks. At those sessions there are young people playing alongside 70-year-olds. There's a lot of talent, a lot of gigs that don't pay much, a lot of DIY stuff. There are a lot of things happening on the campuses, too. [Amherst College saxophonist] Jason Robinson moving to town kind of energized things. The FAC [UMass Fine Arts Center] has a committment to jazz, and the Vermont Jazz Center has added a lot to the offerings. I think there's a lot of interest in the music.
"Over time, we'll incorporate people who live around here."
Siegel puts a finer point on a sometimes-neglected fact: "Interest is on the upswing, but the Valley has a long history of the music here."
The first concert in the Jazz Shares series features pianist Angelica Sanchez and guitarist Omar Tamez and happens Sunday, Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m. at the United Congreational Church, 300 Appleton St., Holyoke.

Canada is an Arctic nation. The Arctic is a priority for the Canadian government, and our government is playing a leadership role on Arctic issues, both internationally and at home.
Canada's Arctic sovereignty is long-standing, well-established and based on historical title.
Our government has made significant investments in exercising Canada's Arctic sovereignty, and it is dedicated to fulfilling the North's true potential as a healthy, prosperous and secure region within a strong and sovereign Canada.
We take our responsibility for the future of the region seriously. Our objective is responsible management of the Arctic Ocean.
The meeting in Chelsea will focus on issues of particular relevance to the Arctic coastal states, such as continental shelf delineation and potential public safety challenges. The Arctic Ocean is also beginning to experience significant change as a result of altering weather patterns and increasing access—and we will be discussing how this translates into opportunities and challenges for policy-making on which we will need to cooperate in the future.
We will have a constructive forward-looking discussion on issues that would benefit from greater collaboration between Arctic Ocean coastal states. The meeting represents an opportunity to show leadership on Arctic Ocean stewardship. It will also reinforce the ongoing collaboration in the region, including in the Arctic Council, which meets every two years at the ministerial level.
The Arctic Council, a Canadian initiative, is the leading international body through which we advance Canada's foreign policy objectives in the North and promote Northern interests. To that end, the Arctic Council Chair, Denmark's foreign minister, Lars Barfoed, will be briefing members of the Council on our discussions in Chelsea.
We very much value the fundamental role that Northern governments, the international Arctic indigenous organizations known as Permanent Participants, and Northerners themselves play in shaping the Arctic region.
Leading up to the meeting, I took the opportunity this week to speak with Canada's territorial premiers and the heads of the Canadian-based Permanent Participant organizations.
In summary, we are all committed to the safety, prosperity and well-being of Canada's North.
G8 Foreign Ministers' Meeting
On Monday and Tuesday, I will welcome the G8 foreign ministers to Gatineau, Quebec, to talk about key issues of concern to global security, and to all of us.
I will raise the following key priorities with my colleagues at this meeting:
- Nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament;
- Afghanistan and Pakistan; and
- Security vulnerabilities—specifically, the threats from conflict, disaster, terrorism, crime and trafficking.
Nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament
First, let me say that Canada welcomes the new strategic arms reduction treaty announced this morning by U.S. president Barack Obama and Russian president Dmitry Medvedev, and to be officially signed in Prague in April.
This treaty represents a critical step in ensuring and enhancing global security and working toward a nuclear-free world.
Lowering the number of strategically deployed nuclear weapons and their delivery systems represents a vital advance for nuclear disarmament, which further fulfills international commitments in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
At the G8 Foreign Ministers' Meeting next week, Iran will be an item of critical concern on the agenda. The actions of the Iranian government raise very serious doubts that the country's nuclear program is peaceful.
I will discuss with my G8 colleagues what we can do to put additional pressure on Iran to persuade it to stop its nuclear enrichment activities and to convince the Iranian authorities to come back to the table.
Unfortunately, I believe we are left with little choice but to pursue additional sanctions against Iran, ideally through the UN Security Council.
We need to let discussions play out in the UN; meanwhile, Canada is ready to do its part.
I will also raise the issue of North Korea, which has continued with its nuclear and missile programs despite being in contravention of its international commitments under the NPT [Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty] and numerous UN Security Council resolutions.
We will also talk about the upcoming 2010 NPT Review Conference that will take place in New York City in May.
For decades, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty has enshrined the international bargain that states will not seek to acquire nuclear weapons if those who have them agree to disarm, and that peaceful uses of nuclear energy will be supported.
For a number of reasons, that international bargain is now under pressure. These reasons include the perception that the nuclear weapons states have not disarmed—based on the actions of countries like Iran and North Korea—and that there is a lack of support for the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
This is why the Review Conference is so important.
For the sake of future generations, we must work to renew and expand the global consensus around the NPT and its goal of a world without nuclear weapons.
Afghanistan and Pakistan
Canada and our G8 partners have invested heavily in helping Afghanistan build a peaceful and stable state, one that will never again become a haven for terrorists.
In Gatineau, we will discuss how we can support the Afghan government to reach this goal.
When I was at the London Conference on Afghanistan at the end of January, President Karzai made commitments to combat corruption and to assume increasing responsibility for security, basic services and democratic governance.
We welcome his resolve, and believe it is critically important that he deliver on those commitments.
We will not only discuss the challenges in Afghanistan, but also the opportunities for progress. For example, well-managed borders are key to long-term economic development, as well as to long-term stability and security. Therefore, improving joint border management by Afghanistan and Pakistan will help to improve stability in both countries.
Over the past three years, Canada has facilitated a dialogue between Afghanistan and Pakistan—the Dubai Process—to bring border officials from these countries together to discuss practical steps to address the challenges along their shared border region.
We now want to build on this effort to see how we can help increase trade between the two countries. For its part, Pakistan is taking measures to root out extremists. But it faces its own political, economic and social challenges too, and we will want to talk about how we can continue to help Pakistan address these.
Terrorism: Yemen and parts of Africa
The attempted terrorist attack on a U.S. airliner on December 25 was a stark reminder that terrorism remains a serious threat to us here at home.
This attack can be traced back to Yemen. When I was in London recently, I attended a meeting on Yemen to discuss how we could help the Yemeni government deal with the growing terrorist presence there.
But Yemen isn't alone. Terrorist groups are becoming more active in countries stretching across the Sahel, from Mauritania all the way to Somalia.
In Gatineau, I will want to talk with my colleagues about how we can help countries in this region build their capacity to combat terrorism.
Security vulnerabilities
Global stability and security are affected by conflict, disasters, terrorism, crime, and trafficking in illicit drugs and in people. Because of our interdependence, these problems affect us all.
But many countries are not able to deal with such security vulnerabilities. They lack the effective institutions—the police, correctional institutions, courts and border controls—that are essential to democratic governance, the rule of law and respect for human rights. We want to help countries strengthen the full range of security institutions they need.
Canada has a long history of doing this sort of work.
In Kosovo, Canadian experts were among the first to start building a correctional service in the post-conflict environment. In Haiti, Canadian police have been engaged for decades in helping to train and mentor local police—on March 31 in New York City, we will be engaged again in working with international partners to help Haiti recover and reconstruct after the devastating earthquake of January 12. In Africa, we have helped to build a network of centres offering peacekeeping training to soldiers and police. We also have specific counterterrorism and anti-crime programs that are global in reach.
But now, in Canada, we are doing something unique: we have brought these programs together into one group—a more holistic approach that will allow them to be connected. I want to share Canada's experience with our G8 partners to see how we can all better align our programs to create more effective security systems in vulnerable countries.
There may be other specific issues that my colleagues will want to raise during our discussions as well—for example, the Middle East peace process.
The Arctic Ocean Foreign Ministers' Meeting and the G8 Foreign Ministers' Meeting are important milestones in the process of developing a more comprehensive approach to global issues, and I am very proud of the leadership role that Canada is playing in hosting each.
Together, we can—we will—make a difference.
Thank you.

| Welcome
to the Lehigh Valley Railroad Survivors web pages!
Originally this project started out as a database of surviving LVRR locomotives only.
It then evolved to include other LV rolling stock, structures, etc. Then a current route map,
then I went and did some "tours" of LV sites today..it just keeps growing!
So many great people out in "Railroad Internet Land" have helped find the data on the pages..
(please see a list of contributors on the locomotives page)
Thanks to everyone!
These pages are for all LV fans.
I hope you find them interesting and useful.
are now thirteen different pages in the "LVRR Survivors" web pages.
1. Surviving LV Locomotives , I consider this the "main" page.
2. The other surviving LV stuff page. Cabooses, other rolling stock, structures, bridges etc.

|Have two plastic ones. Two matching iron stands to set them on. A seed mat kit (two 9"x60" seed mats) of annuals and perrenials, 2"-10"tall, designed to create red, white and blue flowers. Well, that's what the box said. Also got some pebble rock and no excess money. (laid off).
So, if I cut the seed mats to a circle, what should I put in the bottom of the bottles?
Follow-Up Postings:
|I don't get it. Are you wanting to grow these seeds in these bottles? As in, two matching 'bottle gardens'? Why do you want to know what to put in the bottoms of the bottles? Aren't you going to put the seed mats in there? You could put gravel for drainage, but I don't think the seeds will do well. They will probably germinate, but if the bottles are closed, and even probably if they aren't, the seedlings will get damping off disease (caused by a fungus), and will just rot away to nothing, and you will never see flowers. To avoid damping off, you will have to use either a terrible-smelling product called No-Damp, or chamomile tea brewed at medicinal strength (at least 5 tea bags to a teapot, steeped for 20-30 mins). Personally I've never used chamomile tea, so I don't know how well it works. But using strong chemicals in a terrarium is never recommended, because they cannot be washed out.
|Hi DeweyMn,
I think sahoyaref is right. It sounds as though you have one of those garden seed mats that you roll out like turf grass. Is this correct? If so, I don't think it will do very well in a closed humid bottle without ventilation. Inside it will mold. Those mats are designed to hold water like a sponge (like a chia pet). But, moving air keeps it fresh. If it does sprout it will rot (like veggie sprouts in a wet bag- slimy yuck). I hope this doesn't dampen your terrarium spirit. Give it a shot, who knows. If you do decide to give it a shot, keep with the larger texture soils like sand and some perilite for drainage and larger pebbles- lottsa air space (not water or you'll end up with a bog). YOu may have to fiddle with nutrients, depending on the plant needs. I think you should try a container garden instead. Maybe large punch bowls? That could be pretty, especially colored glass. I wish you all the best!! -ddot
|Thanks for the info. I also read up a little more on this site for additional info. Had to put w.c. plan on back burner due to other projects but I'll experiment a little as suggested. Again, thanks.

|I buy those mat kids for a quick picker upper for my garden. They do very well, but, the grow tall, a water bottle will not be sufficiently tall, they germinate very close together and I usually thin them out, even when growing them outside, so I wouldn't try planting them in a bottle.
Ana :)

Yes this could be a 500 page book, but I'm going to try to present the future of security in fewer than 1,200 words.
Up to now in this anniversary series, my fellow Symantecites have been discussing what has happened over the past 25 years around security and how Symantec and the industry have grown to meet these challenges in a number of areas, from malicious code and vulnerabilities through to modern day threats such as phishing. We've come from a world of floppy disks and modems into a world so connected and converged that few of us could have imagined how it would have become so in such a short time. The rate at which technology has evolved and been adopted has, at times, left security analysts scrabbling to catch up – which, in turn, has created significant risks.
First a little history: I'm one of the many people who came to work for Symantec via acquisition. I used worked for @stake in Europe for a number of years before the acquisition as a consultant to numerous sectors. Over those years, I think it's fair to say there has been a meteoric shift when discussing security. What was once a problem for the great-unwashed, sandal-wearing brigade, as well as bank and government risk departments, today is simply an unavoidable topic for just about any company or organization.
Security today is definitely acknowledged and being addressed from the highest echelons of management down in most sectors. Why? Well the problem has become ever more complex and important as investment into IT and communications has increased. The result is that the availability, integrity and safeguarding of intellectual property among other aspects are now paramount if organizations expect to operate effectively and competitively. For better or worse, much of the world is wired. As well, the passing of legislation by governments and industry bodies has forced many sectors to address (or, at least, play lip service) to laws and rules which carry requirements for IT security compliance.
And, while progress has been made in educating businesses and users that a problem exists, solving it is a completely different issue. The world of IT still has many security challenges to deal with; something I'm afraid isn't going to change in any short order. Vendors are still developing devices and applications that contain easily discoverable and exploitable security vulnerabilities. Yes, every vendor should have a well developed SDL (Secure Development Lifecycle); but alas, security is seen as a cost that, for companies under terrific pressure for first-mover advantage, or market space, or who simply can't afford it, it is down on the list of priorities somewhere behind posh chocolate biscuits for managers and free soda for the minions.
Let's take an (obvious enough) example: we have seen significant improvements by Microsoft in terms of investment and responsiveness when dealing with security (I think even their biggest critics have to acknowledge that). Yet even today, five years since the infamous rocket (aka, management memo) from Bill Gates, Microsoft still has security issues in their most secure version of Windows yet (Vista, if you hadn't guessed); this, even after investing resources that small countries would be glad to have access to. This shows us that even the largest software vendor in the world finds it difficult to address such a complex problem, even with their huge resources. So what chance does OllieSoft have with its three employees who work out of a shed in south London?
Part of the issue is that security is going to get a lot more complex at a technological level before it becomes easier. This is in part due to the continual and ever-increasing stream of technologies arriving. Plus, there are going to be more researchers and attackers alike looking for vulnerabilities than ever before. Attackers after the cash aren't always going to use the most technically advanced means, but instead, will continue to try and find a mixture of confidence tricks, social engineering and technology exploitation in order to have the greatest affect.
As security improves in certain areas, attackers also adapt, change their habits and move to new or emerging technologies. Attackers are going to continue to investigate and leverage new technologies as a source of new targets or victims. The tool-sets used by researchers and attackers are going to continue to improve, thus easing the discovery and reliable exploitation of flaws within software and hardware. In some cases, we can expect certain classes of security issues to be reduced or, in very rare cases, eradicated on certain platforms and in certain programming languages as improvements are made; however; on the whole they will never be truly eradicated due to legacy interoperability, old systems, old languages, and old developers still kicking around. And if that weren't enough, with all of this comes the continual stream of fresh targets in parts of the world that only now are going through their Internet booms.
All of this makes it sound like a horrible place to be, and by my own admission, I'm not particularly optimistic. That said, we have to look at it positively and see the improvements being made. Security is making its way into curricula in schools. Risk models will continue to evolve to help organizations set up the most cost effective and adaptable networks. Efforts will continue to address raw technological issues around code quality, logic flaws and suchlike. Research around tracking improvements (i.e. metrics) will continue to show if organizations are getting it right or not. Security companies like Symantec will continue to identify, understand and, where appropriate, develop protection for new and emerging technologies. Yes, there are comprehensive, grassroots efforts being taken to understand and minimize the dangers of a world online. It's just going to take a little longer to redress 40 years of rapid evolution in a field so complex, combined with an ever-moving target.
At a time when some organizations still run Windows NT 3.51 (when was the last security patch for that released?) and many consumers still run Windows 95/98, we have to accept that there is no easy answer for security just yet. We have industries such as the power and energy sectors only now really getting to grips with the possible issues from years of investment in Internet Protocol-enabled equipment running on core services. Also, as our computing becomes more diverged from the PC to include media PCs, game consoles, set-top boxes and mobile devices we have to accept that all of these will become data silos and windows into to our home and organization networks. These windows (much like barn doors) will need to be protected if they or the data they hold becomes important enough to the individual or enterprise.
Here's to the next 25 years!

What part of Mass are you from? We're actually moving to Fort Lewis, WA from Fort Drum, NY, but we're originally from Ma. Two months after the baby is born my husband will be deploying so I'm coming back home around December or January to spend that year with family in central ma.
I'm sorry about your friends but hopefully you'll be able to make some new ones quick!

The weather has warmed up a bit for us here and we can't wait for spring. The store are packed with all things Easter and the kids are giddy whenever we go by the seasonal aisle. ( not always a good thing though!) To keep us cheery we have started with spring crafts and today we have a spring art idea for the kiddos. We have already shared our spring ABC garden and our Color Garden. In the past seasons we have gotten creative with our fall art and recently with our snow cookies and snow painting for the winter.
- Cardboard egg carton li>
- White Paint
- Construction Paper
Before we went on to the sheep art, we actually engaged in some open ended art fun. With the cardboard egg carton cut up into individual slots and paints I invited the kids to have some printing fun.
Usually my toddler is the fun who loves printing with objects but on that day the preschooler was very keen on making colorful flowers with egg cartons. This spring art is her work. Surely this art project will be very much for toddlers.
She had a great time experimenting with different colors and printing the flowers and of course we had to add the details on at least few flowers.
On a colored construction paper, I hand drew a sheep outline for the girls. Clearly you can do a better job with the drawing. This time both my toddler and my preschooler were interested in participating and we started printing the sheep's wool with the cut up egg slots. They do look like wool, don't they?
<style="text-align: center;">
The more fuller the wool became the more excited the kids were with the spring art idea.
style="text-align: center;">
Once the sheep's body was done, the preschooler who is very much into creating scenes did her thing. Using her fingers created flowers and bugs. Then added the blue sky and grass and touched up the sheep's legs and ears with black finger paint.
That's our spring sheep in a beautiful cheery spring scene.
Not to be left behind, my toddler was equally enthused with the sprint art and created her version of the spring scene.

That's according to Saudi Ambassador Prince Turki al Faisal.
Not that that should be the reason that dissuades America from invading Iran, but it's at least worth noting.
U.S. News & World Report:
World oil prices could double or triple over the current painful $70-per-barrel level if diplomacy failed and military conflict broke out over Iran's nuclear ambitions, Saudi Ambassador Prince Turki al-Faisal warned this morning.
"We don't know" what will happen if the United States chooses a military option in Iran, al-Faisal said, but "if there is military conflict, if bombs are dropped, ships are blown up, oil facilities on our side of the gulf are targeted . . . just the idea of somebody firing a missile at an installation somewhere would shoot up the price of oil astronomically." In such a scenario, he said, Saudi Arabia "hopefully would defend our oil installations as best as we can and seek an immediate resolution," but the risks would be grave. "Not just our installations, but the whole gulf would become an inferno of exploding fuel tanks and shut-up facilities," al-Faisal said.

What is Yali's question to Jared Diamond?
1 Answer | Add Yours
In the introduction to Guns, Germs, and Steel, Diamond claims that Yali's question was the inspiration for the book. Yali, a local politician in New Guinea (where Diamond was doing field work studying birds) asks Diamond the following question: "Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo [meaning material goods and technology] and brought it to New Guinea, but we black people had little cargo of our own?" The book goes on to investigate the answer to this question, attempting to provide explanations for why Eurasian peoples developed the agriculture, technology, and pathogens that enabled them to project their influence around the world.

10 Items You Should Be Buying in February
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- If you're in the market to make a purchase -- whether it's clothing, a bicycle or even electronics -- there is an ideal time of the year to buy to ensure you get the best deal.
We polled the experts to find which items are best to buy right now.
1. Winter clothes
During the middle of winter, chances are you already have the outerwear you need for the rest of the season. But if you think you'll need a new coat for next year's winter, the time to make this purchase is now."In February, retailers still have substantial stock on their shelves -- both online and in store. However, now the stores will clear the winter clothes to make room for the upcoming spring inventory," said Jon Lal, founder of BeFrugal.com. To move the inventory and clear the shelves faster, stores use February as a time to offer discounts. 2. Electronics February is also prime time to make that big-ticket electronic purchase. "For plenty of consumer electronics, the product cycle runs around the Consumer Electronics Show in January, and availability of those new products is in the months following. As a result, retailers need to clear out the current inventory to make room for the new items," Lal says. As with outerwear, the electronics sitting on the shelves now will need to be discounted to make room for items from CES. 3. Furniture Whether you're furnishing a new home or just one room, this is undoubtedly a major expense. Making this purchase in February is bound to save you some money. "Furniture manufacturers tend to roll out new designs in the spring. In February the retailers will be making room for newer models, hence why we'll see more deals," Lal says. 4. Spa treatments On Super Bowl Sunday, more than 100 million people will be glued to their televisions watching the game. If that's not up your alley, think about some Super Bowl alternative activities, such as heading to the spa. "It's a slow day for spas, so they'll offer an incentive or bargain. Simply call up the spa and see if there are any discounts for the day as a way to attract more customers," says Jeanette Pavini, a Coupons.com savings expert.

In my house we have 4 different types of Cheerios. Not kidding.
Here is the range of my children's Cheerio preference: (from most loved to lesser loved)
- Honey Nut Cheerios
- Plain Cheerios
- Fruity Cheerios
- Chocolate Cheerios (hard to believe they're not into the chocolate ones!)
Having loads of Cheerios in the pantry is the inspiration for these breakfast cookies. What's that? Cookies for breakfast? Sure, why not. And throw 2 dark chocolate chips on top of each one, just to get the kids into the novelty.
This recipe calls for almond butter. It's like peanut butter, only made with almonds.
Ooops – I messed up a little. I forgot to add the pumpkin as I was baking. They turned out a bit dry as a result. Just add the pumpkin and you should be good to go. If not – well…then I need to work on this one!
Honey Almond Breakfast Cookies (Pinto Bean Cookies)
Recipe by Striving Bean
(inspired by Cheerios Jumbo Breakfast Cookies)
Makes around 32 cookies
(refrigerate or wrap and freeze leftovers)
- 1 cup pinto beans (low-sodium, rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 3 cups Cheerios
- ¾ cup (0.75 cup) honey
- 2 Tablespoons butter (softened)
- 1/3 cup (0.66 cup) almond butter (no sugar added)
- 1/2 cup (0.5 cup) milk or soy milk
- 1 1/2 (1.5) Tablespoons vanilla
- 1 1/4 cups (1.25 cups) whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 (0.5) cup whole almonds (then crush)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup (0.75 cup) raisins – optional
- Dark chocolate chips (for topping) – optional
- Preheat oven to 375 F
- Grease cookie sheets or line with parchement paper
- Puree beans with milk and pumpkin
- In a bowl, cream honey, butter, almond butter, and vanilla. Add to bean mixture and puree again
- Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl
- Add wet mixture to dry mixture
- Stir in crushed almonds
- Stir in raisins
- Gently stir in cereal
- Drop by spoon onto greased cookie sheet.
- Optional – top each cookie with 2 dark chocolate chips
- Bake at 375 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool on sheet a few minutes
- Transfer to rack to cool entirely
Our family weighs in:
- Daughter liked them the night before. She said they were "just OK" in the morning.
- Son really liked them the night before. Then hated them in the morning! Too dry…
- Husband liked the taste, thought the texture of the Cheerios was strange (!)
- I liked them – however, too dry. The pumpkin should help. Maybe add eggs too?
OK – it's not perfection. Feel free to amend this recipe. I'll keep working on it.
What do you think about cookies for breakfast?

Permissive decree
Permissive decree: in Christian theology, those decrees (ordained events) of God that are different from his direct decrees. An example of a permissive decree would be the fall of Adam into sin. God does not desire sin, yet he permitted its occurrence. He decreed that it would occur by permission--not by direct action of his will. A direct decree of God would be the incarnation of the Son.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) -- A Rutherford County woman who is refusing to return to a correctional work center has brought attention to discrepancies in the way sentences are calculated at the local level.
The federal courts have appointed attorneys to help Sharonda Renee Taylor, who believes employees charged with calculating sentences at the Rutherford County Correctional Work Center are doing it wrong.
The Daily News Journal (http://on.dnj.com/XoWK2I) found that administrators at the work center and the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center each perform sentence computations differently, according to their own interpretations of Tennessee's sentencing and sentence credit laws.
Those involved in the sentence computation processes at both facilities believe their way is best.
Jim Hart is the County Technical Assistance Service jail management consultant. He said it's an issue at facilities across the state.

Colorado Governor Bill Owens vetoed House Bill 1162, state appliance energy efficiency standards. The legislation would have established minimum energy efficiency requirements on 14 products sold in Colorado, U.S. starting in 2008.
According to a statement from environment advocate group the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project (SWEEP), there was broad support for the energy efficiency requirements in the Colorado legislature. The bill passed the House Business Affairs and Labor Committee on a 12-1 vote and the Senate Business, Labor and Technology Committee on a 6-1 vote. State standards similar to those vetoed by Governor Owens were enacted last week in Arizona, with the majority of Republicans in the legislature supporting them.
The products covered in the bill include torchiere-style light fixtures, exit signs, reflector lamps, pool pumps, commercial refrigerators and freezers, ice makers, AC-DC converters for electronic devices, pre-rinse spray nozzles used in commercial kitchens, and traffic signals. These products are not covered under federal energy efficiency standards. The U.S. states of Arizona, California, Connecticut, Maryland, and New Jersey have already adopted energy-efficiency standards on these products.
