text: There are lots of ways on how to make money on real estate that's why many people have started investing in this business venture. And in order for you to succeed, you should know how the system works and you ought to expect that things are not going to come easy until you put some effort and hard work. Real estate has the potential to bring you more income but keep in mind that it'll take time and you will face several challenges and also you'll have much competition on this field. However, when you have a seat and educate yourself on the ins and outs of real estate investment, you will find it lucrative. So below are a few of what you should acquire and want to know on how to make money on real estate notes. Cash. You should have your way to obtain cash readily available for your investment. Especially when you bid for any property, you must at least have some money accessible to buy the property that you want to invest in. But when you don't have enough cash, you can set up a line of credit with a bank. This could take time but a really big help should you have your money ready and you will be able to get ahead of your competitors. Goals. You must know what your goals are. This will save you some time and the seller of the note when you know the minimum return that you need beforehand. Learn how to make money in real estate notes by purchasing them for a cheaper price. Cost. Figure out your costs. You have to know if you can do things by yourself like handle your collections orif there's a need for you to outsource it. And for those who will outsource, exactly how much should it cost you? And all of those other questions you'll need to resolve so as to figure out the costs in running this investment. Locate Notes. There are various sources where you can find notes to purchase, like private lenders, mortgage companies, newspaper ad on real estate finance, escrow companies and you can also find it online. Note assessment. Real estate note assessment is the trickiest part of the process and you'll need the expertise of anyone who has more experience in the area say for example a mortgage company to perform the evaluating. So a note is considered critical if it includes a trust deed. And it must be valued if it's a land sales contract. The property will have to be valued accordingly based on its market value and present condition. Attorney. It might be cost some money and may even seem expensive but you can use it repeatedly if you will have a real estate attorney help you draw a sales contract. These are some of the pointers you will need to know on how to make money in real estate notes. Keep in mind that by doing your research will invariably enable you to be prepared and particularly smart in making good decisions for your investment and future endeavor.

The Red Sox were able to pick up their fifth straight win on the road on Sunday against the Minnesota Twins, but it took a little while to do it. The Sox came back out and captured the win after a three-hour rain delay. Starting pitcher John Lackey pitched six innings in the 5-1 victory, but knew after the first half hour of the delay that he wouldn't be going back into the game. Lackey said the team spent the time watching a classic baseball movie in the clubhouse. Check out the video above to hear more about the win and the rain delay activities, or check it out on NESN's YouTube channel.

If you want to automate your uploading process through CurseForge, there is a way to do this properly:
Getting your API Key
First, you must go to http://www.curseforge.com/home/api-key/ and generate an API key if you have not already. This is unique to you and provides you a way to authenticate through scripts without a complex login process.
Figuring out your game versions
Next, for the game you want, you're going to want to calculate what game versions you support, knowing the backend ID. Thankfully, we provide an API call for you:
- World of Warcraft: http://wow.curseforge.com/game-versions.json
- Warhammer: http://war.curseforge.com/game-versions.json
- Runes of Magic: http://rom.curseforge.com/game-versions.json
And so forth, changing the domain based on the game you want. This will return a JSON object of the following form:
{"1": // this is the id of the game version {"is_development": false, // true if it's in PTR but not officially released "breaks_compatibility": false, // change between, e.g. 2.4 and 3.0, but not 3.0 to 3.1 "release_date": "2006-09-26", // "YYYY-MM-DD" or null "name": "1.12.0", // name of the version "internal_id": "11200"}} // if available, an internal version. For WoW, this is the TOC number. null if not available
You need to calculate 1-3 IDs of game versions that the file is compatible with.
Actually uploading
Now to upload your file.
Find your upload file page, e.g. http://wow.curseforge.com/projects/my-project/upload-file/. Change the final slash to .json, and you have http://wow.curseforge.com/projects/quest-helper/upload-file.json
Now you make a POST request to that URL with the following url-encoded params:
- name
- The name of the file you're uploading, this should be the version's name, do not include your project's name.
- game_version
- Specify 1-3 times with the IDs you attained previously.
- file_type
- Specify
afor Alpha,
bfor Beta, and
rfor Release.
- change_log
- The change log of the file. Up to 50k characters is acceptable.
- change_markup_type
- Markup type for your change log.
plainis recommended.
- known_caveats
- Optional. The known caveats of the file. Up to 50k characters is acceptable.
- caveats_markup_type
- Markup type for your known caveats.
plainis recommended.
- file
- The actual zip file for your addon.
There are a few results of your request:
- 403 Forbidden
- You didn't specify your API Key correctly or you do not have permission to upload a file to that project.
- 404 Not Found
- Project couldn't be found. You either specified it wrong or it was renamed.
- 405 Method Not Allowed
- You did a GET instead of a POST.
- 422 Unprocessable Entity
- You have an error in your form. This is a JSON response that will tell you which fields had an issue.
- 201 Created
- Hurrah, your file is uploaded properly.

The response wouldn't happen to include the URL or ID to the uploaded file page would it?
Would it be possible to include such a feature? (To automatically upload, and then provide a link if you wish to view it)

Ford posed the question during a meeting in his office with Mr. Byford about the sale of four tunnel-boring machines. The two agreed to disagree on that issue
Peter Kuitenbrouwer: I have yet to hear any candidate for mayor say how they will improve streetcar service. Raise fares? Kick cars off King? Anything? Anybody?
A Chinese company has pulled an offer to purchase Toronto's four tunnel boring machines. Lovsuns Tunnelling Canada wrote to the TTC over the weekend indicating that it will not be proceeding with its bid.
There is simply no logical reason to run streetcars through a city such as Toronto, and as evidence, one need look no further than Vancouver
The four machines were used to burrow the Spadina subway extension. Staff considered refurbishing them to dig a Scarborough subway, but selling them is 'preferred'
What slows streetcars in Toronto? Automobiles. To get our streetcars moving we must enforce restrictions on vehicles on major streetcar routes during peak times
There are 11 lines on 82 km of track. Unfortunately, the average speed, 17 km/h, has not much improved since the first horse-drawn streetcar arrived in 1861
Almost two centuries after the invention of horse-drawn vehicles pulled on tracks, your city is now locked into billion-dollar streetcar expansions
Peter Kuitenbrouwer sits down on the King streetcar to talk about readers responses to our week-long Streetcarnage series
Rick Leary is the TTC's hope for improved service. 'I'm excited to be here. It really is a good time to be in Toronto,' says the Boston's transit authority veteran

Versatile. Maneuverable. Comfortable.
Your tastes politely pass as eclectic, and your family has other, more colorful ways of describing your wildly diverse interests. The Dagger Axis 10.5 adapts to your water-based mercurial disposition, going from placid lakes to swift-moving rivers without hesitation. Beginners will feel at home in this stable lady, and hard-charging intermediate paddlers will be able to push their boating boundaries. Its small size makes it easy to maneuver in tight passages.
Dagger took the best of whitewater boats and did a bit of genetic engineering by adding the preferred traits from recreational boats to create the versatile Axis 10.5. The TruTrak adjustable skeg turns this boat into a floating bloodhound, staying true to course like a pro. When it's time make some waves or push your paddling limits on a bit of whitewater, lift the skeg. A slight keel blurs into a slightly rounded bottom for steering ease when you're slipping down a slight drop along the river. The high volume mimics the water-shedding of both a duck and a true whitewater boat and helps keep your tip pointed up when you're punching through waves or riding micro-falls.
Comfort Fit Recreational Seating adjusts for a custom fit every time. The padded foam seat adjusts to accommodate your torso, be it more like a gymnast or more akin to a pro-cager. Adjustable hip pads and leg lifters give you the chance to make this boat yours and yours alone. If you're hitting the lakes on Saturday and running rivers on Sunday, the cockpit can be retro-fitted with thigh braces. A mesh pocket attaches to the bow with bungees, and the stern hatch offers dry storage, though it's best to leave water-sensitive electronics at home or in the car. Soft-touch handles won't leave your palms raw when you're toting this boat to or from the put-in.
- Roto-molded linear polyethylene
- Comfort Fit Seating-Recreational
- Optional thigh braces
- TruTrak skeg, adjustable
- Stern storage, oval dual-density dry storage
- Mesh pocket attaches to bow deck, bungees
- Soft-touch handles

John Brown
Great First Kayak!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Although I did not purchase this yak from backcountry, the first thing I did was slap a goat sticker on her and took her out on our maiden voyage.
First off, I am a fairly large guy--6ft/265lbs. I don't mind sharing my rotundness because it might give you a better idea of the size of the cockpit. I fit just fine and it's comfortable. It is very sturdy and I don't feel as if I'm going to tip over. The foot props are easy to adjust to your desired position. I have them as far to the bow as they will go, so if you are much taller than 6ft, they might be a tad uncomfortable. The padded seat is extremely comfortable. I've taken it on a 3.5 hour/7 mile trip and was comfortable the entire time. I have yet to get a skirt, so I have only been on calm waters. I can't wait to get it out on some swift water.
Since I've only had it on calm water, I have really gotten to utilize the skeg. With the skeg down, this yak glides smoothly across the water and straight as an arrow. With it down, you can turn on a dime. Just a couple of hard strokes and I can get it up to speed.
At 50 lbs, it's fairly easy to handle and tote around. Just keep in mind it's an awkward 50 lbs. I'll put it this way: I love this yak enough to tote it up and down to my 3rd floor apartment. It's easier than it sounds, but it is still quite a feat. Man, the looks I get....
I can't say enough about this kayak. It's awesome!

Comfortable & fast if you want it to be
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I love this kayak. The seat is comfortable, and the the storage space is generous. It's stable enough for my me and my 12 year old, but we can get it going fast . We don't have a skirt for it yet, but are excited to get it on a little white water when we are more experienced.

"According to the company, most of those departures were players in the East, though a significant number of Western players left as well. All told, the game now has about 8.3 million paying customers -- down from 9.6 million in February -- and Activision CEO Bobby Kotick admits that number is bound to drop even further."

I don't know where everyone things it's just the Asian market.. Looks like the West is unsubscribing; this does include the U.S. as well.
"Though a significant number of Western players left as well."

what Blizzard has done keeping WoW going for 9 years is nothing short of amazing. That doesn't mean there aren't areas for improvement when subscription drop 1.3 million in a single quarter.
I guess reading "I quit" posts on general forums is actually important to blizzard.
90 Human Rogue
i unsubbed today
90 Night Elf Death Knight
Their losses are from a massive downgrade in game quality.. Most new content is just a daily island, and more daily islands, and more dailies, AND MORE DAILIES DAILY'S DAILY'S DAILIES DAITLLTLREFEFES.. Content is a joke, everything is easy as hell and kid catered to the extreme. This is why its dying. I know at least 30 peeps I played with that have quit because of those reasons and all the comments on some of the articles about that state that said its because of the easy as !@#$ content, and all content basically being more daily quest farms.
They ran out of ideas, and are just putting fillers in for everything. Its evident, the sub loss proves that. People will always leave when quality isn't a factor anymore since they pay for that above F2P quality which they are no longer getting in WoW from Blizzard.
Their sub loss has nothing to do with F2P titles, they use them as a target to point their fingers out to make them sound better. Ask any ex WoW player, im sure 90% Will tell you they left because of easy content, and daily and daily island for each content patch with no point whatsoever.
90 Night Elf Monk
What exact content are you calling easy?
I'd love to see the subscription fee knocked down to $10, and maybe knock the server transfer fees and race change down by $10, or at least give the people that have been playing for a while a discount on that, spice it up a bit.
71 Night Elf Druid
I'm still saying Blizzard is including the people (specifically in South America) who keep playing via the Free version (trial). One thing i've learned over the last 38 years of my life either video game or communications wise (TWC,ATT,such). Any sub including those people who say just canceled for the next month. Are still counted as subscribers in the original number. It's like SWTOR their Sub base has jumped to 3 million since going FTP. What that means is Just because it s a sub doesn't mean the financial department of the problem is fixed. Look at City of Heroes, It had a very strong sub following and it still went under with the FTP model added into the regular sub. Now Blizzard isn't dying but when they made those employment cuts to customer service a year or less back, that was writing on the wall there. But who knows, I still think player wise as in non trial sub base is closer to 3-4 million worldwide.
Well guys the MMO market is all about preferences. I think WoW has done a fantastic job appealing to as many players for as long as it has; honestly, when this game was conceived, do you really think anyone at Blizz envisioned it ruling the MMO field for this long? Nothing lasts forever. Perhaps they have tried to appeal to too many people over time, but to stay at the top for this long may never be repeated. Even if WoW were to go f2p tomorrow, I think its devs could rightly slap each other on the back and say job well done.
Of course the sub numbers are on the decline. Hell if you don't like WoW, or don't like it anymore, it's not like you don't have literally hundreds of other options. But I'll say this much: I can name several other supposedly triple-A games whose publishers and developers would give their right !@#$%^-* to be able to say that their game had "only" 8.3 million paying players.
Oooh boy I got the auto-edit there lol ^^
100 Blood Elf Paladin
You guys realize this is a game right? Personally I love the direction this game has taken. If you have been to ToT normal/heroic you will be amazed at how engaging, creative, and epic it is. I feel exhilarated after killing the first 3 bosses after 4 weeks. (We are short range and don't have time in raid schedule to get further with only 2 nights a week 2 hours each.) Arenas are fun and not TOO unbalanced. they are slightly, but what do you expect from a game with 11 classes with completely different styles, unique abilities, gameplay, and infinite RNG/possibilities. The solo scenarios on isle of thunder are brilliant. The dailies were pretty cool for first few weeks and the world pvp there was intense!
One thing I have to say though is that challenge mode dungeons were a terrific idea! I have never tried them tho and would like to, but no one is really up for them in my guild at the time I ask. THE PALADIN CHALLENGE MODE GEAR IS SO EPIC OMG! and the Phoenix mounts = awesome.
I think some of the sub losses were from either bots/boxers and illegal accounts manipulated in Asia. If the number of "players" drops from 9.3 million to 8 million, then those players don't need to stay and would only bring the game down if they keep complaining and asking for blizzard to change their game based around their whimsical needs as an FPS gamer. If blizzard narrows their player base to those actually interested in the game and play the game for the GAME aspect of it then it will Benefit the game as a whole and bring good reviews and customer satisfaction.
Remember those 1.3 million accounts might have been bot/hacked accounts that went down because of either bans/the end of the /follow in BG (unlikely).
Also, you have to remember there were lik what 3 wow killers recently? LoL, swotr, and GW2. I think many players switched to F2P games because they are cheap and want to be hip playing the "new thing". Eventually those games will die and they will come back. I think the loss is from the people that switched to other games and might be still playing them or are deciding whether to come back to wow or not when 5.3/5.4 hits. Don't be too quick to judge on numbers.

5.3 is going to decide if I stay or leave.
With all the changes being done to PvP it feels like I won't have anything to look forward to i my gear is to be locked at 496 ilvl.
Also seeing how my realm is dead it felt like people were leaving. I'll just go with the flow.

I have to say, although I agree with you, all these threads about the sub report are getting annoying.
That's how many people are still playing this game. Tell me, what MMORPG is 8-9 years old that still has a sub and the player base that WoW has?
Lets also get a perspective on exactly what 8 million is.
1) It is roughly the population of London
2) It is roughly the population of Washington DC + Baltimore
3) Roughly the entire population of Virgina. (Yes I can see the jokes now, with this reference)
4) The Entire Country of Switzerland
5) More then twice the amount of people living in Jamaica
6) More then the number of people who have been able to see the super bowl in person (aka at the stadium) since WoW was launched almost 9 years ago. This statement will hold true even if WoW loses another million or so customers between now and the 10th Anniversary of WoW in 2014, even given the added viewers of the new Superbowl.
7) Half the amount of actual colors you can express in a 24 bit (true-color) image format, or a 32 bit, where 8 bytes is dedicated to alpha

It's money. Are you saying Blizzard lied when they said they lost SUBSCRIBERS?
Logic? Word of Mouth, do you really understand logic? Word of mouth is HUGE because of it's multiplicative properties, and that doesn't even mention character services as well. Logic? right.
Threats of violence. We take these seriously and will alert the proper authorities.

A Beautiful Plastic Representation
Jan 02, 2011
By Nopity Nopelstein
Not being a big Breyer Original Finish collector (I'm usually collecting Artist's Resins), this particular model caught my eye and I couldn't get him out of my mind. He is a fabulous example of Breyer's ability to paint a good horse when they want to. His dapples far exceed the dapples of other models in the recent past, as well.
The piece itself is very unlike any other Breyer to date, as well. He's very bulky and wide and has many muscular curves.
If you happen upon the right one, you'll find wonderful sabino markings with little or no fade, nice, crisp markings. The mane and tail are a luxurious white and his palomino coat gives off that nice glimmer that palominos and buckskins are known for in the real world.
In an age where Breyer models are declining in quality, Big Chex To Cash is a ray of hope.

Beautiful Horse!

One of the nicer Breyer horses, wonderful shading and dapples. He is also one of the larger horses in the traditional category.

This horse is so beautiful. It is the spitting image of the horse it represents. My daughter loved getting this for her birthday. Great price. Best price I found. Super fast shipping also.

Feb 05, 2012
I got Cash for chirstmas. Let me say one thing, he is amazing! Anyone who loves breyer needs to get this amazing model. When I got him he was LSQ. And he still is. He's a little smaller than I thought he would be, he's smaller than my breyer Zenyatta model. I would recommend not getting this model for young children. His tail is very fragile, and so is the end of his mane. I still give him 5 stars!! Amazing model that everyone should buy!

Big Chex is worth the checks ;P
Jan 07, 2012
By Shadow
Big Chex to Cash is a wonderful model. He's richly shaded and his coat gives off a lovely glimmer like palomino coats in real life. He's very durable and makes a handsome addition to any collector's herd. He's wonderfully detailed and he's absolutely covered in dapples.
One other little thing I noticed is that mine's eyes are different, both eyes are dark instead of one blue eye and one dark eye, so I'm wondering whether this was a goof or whether it's one of Breyer's 'Secret variations', either way he's positively stunning.
A great model, makes a wonderful addition to my herd.

Monday marked the first day that the Florida Gators coaching staff was on the road recruiting at high schools as well as doing in-home visits. Despite the Gators not having a head coach, the number of prospects the Gators visited was simply incredible.
One prospect that receivers coach Chris Leak visited was receiver Ryan Davis (5-10, 161, St. Petersburg, Lakewood) and according to Davis the visit went very well.
"Coach Leak came by my school this morning which was great," Davis said. "He was just telling me that I'm a huge priority for him and that they need slot receivers that are dynamic playmakers like myself. He said that they are going to come on a home visit next week and that as soon as the new head coach gets settle in that they will be coming back for another in-home visit then."
The big question that a lot of prospects have is whether or not the assistant coaches will be returning and Leak addressed that question with the Lakewood receiver.
"Coach Leak said that he wants to stay at Florida and I think he feels like he will still be there," Davis said. "Whether or not he's the receiver coach or not I think he's staying at Florida."
Davis is very much in favor of Florida keeping Leak as the two have built quite the relationship this fall.
"Coach Leak is a cool guy and he's honest with me and that's what I like about him," Davis said. "We have a great relationship not just because of football because we can talk about stuff outside of the game as well. Me and him just get along so well and he's close with my family too."
Heading into the 2015 recruiting cycle it seemed like Florida State was the team to beat for Davis but the Florida Gators have risen on his board and he says that's still the case despite the Gators not having a head coach.
"It will be interesting to see who the new coach is but I'm not paying that much attention to it," Davis said. "I'm interested in Florida regardless of who they hire but I need to make sure that the new coach wants me and isn't just taking me to honor my scholarship or something like that."
One big reason that Davis is interested in Florida is because of the lack of depth at the receiver position.
"I know that Florida has a lot of playing time available for receivers in the offense," Davis said. "I know if I go there and handle my business then I can get on the field early there."
Davis has already taken an official to Maryland and he plans to use the rest of his visits after the new year.
"I'm going to take my officials in January," Davis said. "I'm not sure where all I'm going to but I do plan to take one to Florida."
INSIDERS TAKE: Davis has grown to like Florida and quarterback Treon Harris this year. I believe that if the new coach recruits him hard then Florida has a great shot at landing Ryan Davis.

Although the term viticulture is not often heard, it simply refers to the growing and culture of grapes. Southwest Michigan is home to vineyards and wineries of all sizes. Our region is considered one of the up-and-coming areas in wine production and local wine grape production is currently not keeping pace with the demand in the wine industry. Juice grape production is an established, large local industry. In a 2005 study, the Michigan Wine and Grape Industry Council and Welch's found the economic impact of wine, grape, and grape juice in Michigan to be $789.3 million.
Viticulturists perform a wide range of duties to grow high quality grapes. Daily duties change with not only weather, but with the seasons and variety of grapes grown. Irrigation, pruning, planting, scouting for insect and pest diseases, controlling weeds, maintaining equipment, and harvesting are all important tasks that grape growers perform. Along with keeping up with these responsibilities, grape growers may also have supervisory assignments and must manage the work of other employees. read more
Enology and Viticulture students are expected to attend class regularly and keep up with the course work. While many courses have no specific attendance policy, missing class means missing assignments, quizzes, and important lecture discussions with information that is rarely in the textbooks but often finds its way to exams. read more

Lauren Graham, Jason Ritter
It's another ridiculously busy night of TV, with premieres and finales jousting for attention amid other distractions. It's just as well that CBS' top-rated lineup is taking a breather with repeats.
First, the farewells, going head to head. Once again, NBC sends away its reliably tear-jerking Parenthood (10/9c) earlier in the TV year than we'd like, but a limited run of 15 episodes beats the alternative. Shows like this don't tend to repeat well, and if a shorter run makes business sense — while freeing up the time period in the back half of the season for something else (in this case, a retooled Smash in two weeks) — then so be it. This fourth season has been Parenthood's strongest and most emotionally charged to date, especially in the storyline involving Kristina's breast cancer ordeal, providing Monica Potter and Peter Krause (as husband Adam) with their strongest dramatic material to date. Emmy voters, wake up and take note.
With the success of reality series such as Teen Mom and High School Moms, TV is no stranger to teen pregnancy. However, it's still widely the exception rather than the rule that a scripted character — on a network show no less — will have an abortion. But after riding a wave of critical and commercial success thanks to its honest-to-life depictions of breast cancer and post-traumatic stress disorder, among others, Parenthood tackled the issue head-on in last week's episode. One minute, Drew (Miles Heizer) was worrying about college acceptance letters and the next, he was watching his girlfriend walk through the door at Planned Parenthood to take care of the unwelcome surprise. "We attempted to tell the story in a way that was balanced and would be fair to people watching the show who might have different points of view," showrunner Jason Katims tells TVGuide.com. "We've really been able to tackle difficult subjects in a way that is very honest and that's what we really were trying to do."
With just two episodes left in Parenthood's fourth season (Tuesday at 10/9c on NBC), Katims discussed the decision behind the shocking plot point, Sarah's (Lauren Graham) big decision between Mark (Jason Ritter) and Hank (Ray Romano), why there's hope for Amber (Mae Whitman) and Ryan (Matt Lauria) and previews one of his favorite scenes from...

Question: How do you feel about the subject matter on Parenthood this season? Some of my favorite moments on the show have always been the lighthearted sibling moments with the jokes and teasing. Those moments are all but gone as the Kristina storyline has taken precedence this year. From the Twitter and Facebook comments I've read, it is really ringing realistically to many viewers. The show is handling it with grace, but it's so very heavy that it seems like a departure for a show that has always had a good dose of comedy in each episode. I doubt that they're gaining viewers this year. My fear is that for a show that has always seemed to get renewed by the skin of its teeth, this feels like the end. Do you have any insight as to ratings or where it stands with NBC? — Jennifer
Matt Lauria
On the series finale of Friday Night Lights, East Dillon Panthers running back Luke Cafferty (Matt Lauria) enlisted in the army. A year and a half later, Lauria seems to be picking up where he left off on FNL boss Jason Katims' show Parenthood as a solider returning from two tours in Afghanistan.

Every week, editors Adam Bryant and Natalie Abrams satisfy your need for TV scoop. Please send all questions to email@example.com or tweet them to @adam_bryant or @NatalieAbrams.Will Booth and Brennan be fighting in the Bones premiere? — MaryADAM: Although Booth takes a few verbal jabs in the premiere, you won't really begin to see his true emotions come out right away. "I think the initial reaction is relief and gratitude that [Brennan and Baby Christine] are fine," executive producer Stephen Nathan tells us. "The second episode is where [Booth] realizes he resents this person, that he's angry at her." But Nathan hints that Brennan's got some issues of her own. "Brennan has lived her entire life quite independently," Nathan says. "She's realizing for the first time that she's terribly interconnected with Booth... and this kind of shakes the foundation of who she feels she's been all these years. [She may] resent the fact that she gave herself over to another person."Thanks for the Meredith scoop, but do you know anything about MerDer on the upcoming season of Grey's Anatomy? — Rachel NATALIE: The good news is that the "year of romance" does apply to Meredith and Derek too...

Anybody getting their gardens ready?Submitted by martfuncher on Wed, 03/26/2008 - 03:35
I've been tilling my gardens most of the day.
Getting ready to plant several kinds of beans/peas, tomatoes, peppers, some herbs, sunflowers, radishes, cucumbers, watermelons, muscadines...
- Login to post comments
I wish!
There is still a little clump of snow in my yard, though most has melted by now. I was hoping to start some small plants inside this year so they would have a head start while things are warming up outside. Haven't made any progress, though.
I'm at 5,500 feet in the "hills" between Lake Tahoe and Reno, NV.
Best wishes to all on a bountiful garden this year!
I'm starting two victory
I'm starting two victory gardens next month as well. Anyone with ANY amount of land (even a suburban backyard) should be doing this.
Support the Constitution of the United States
Support the Constitution of the United States
Sabbath Year
According to the Bible, you are supposed to only grow food 6 years out of seven. This year is the seventh (from everything I can tell), so expect a bunch of crop failures.
My victory garden is started...
Herbs... basil, parsley, oregano,cilantro and garlic chives and in the big garden I am planting tomatoes, squash, eggplant, yellow cucumbers,ocra, bell peppers,green beans,radishes and carrots. I wanted to grow potatoes and corn out here but no such luck. I am from North West PA Amish country and it was easier to grow back there not to mention all the wild berries we had for canning.
Oh man, homegrown
Oh man, homegrown watermelon! I would almost fly to Mississippi just to taste that! Needless to say, here in Alaska, any watermelons we do get (from Mexico?) pale in comparison.
Cabbages and the other cole vegetables all do well here, and lettuce, and carrots and beets (I don't touch those, though). I like root parsley also, a traditional Polish vegetable. Tomatoes and beans are almost a lost cause here unless you have ideal location and ideal weather.
No tree fruits here except crabapples, but I do grow a lot of gooseberries, which make fantastic jam (well, I think so, but not everyone agrees).
I'm planting...
... yellow-meated watermelons this year. Same as red/pink ones basically with a hint of savory (think cantaloupe).
Hey, I know those! Oh man,
Hey, I know those! Oh man, that's no fair --- now I have a hankering for that!
My great-grandparents in Alabama (Citronelle) had a large farm and grew those yellow watermelons too --- wow, were they ever good! I would eat it until I was sick!
But I haven't seen or tasted one in thirty years.
I'd send ya one...
.. but shipping would probably be $50.
LOL! Or more! But I would
LOL! Or more! But I would almost pay it, just to have one again.
You are lucky to be able to grow those there.
Our saving grace is wild berries, which Alaska is blessed with, both in variety and abundance. I go out and pick hundreds of pounds of them every year (hence the time spent in the wild), but it is my business. I also buy more than that from others, to make wild berry jams and jellies.

Talk #8 of the Series,
The Fish in the Sea Is Not Thirsty
Osho,You say that it is enough for us to just be, that we don't need to do anything to be in God. I have this gut-feeling that I need to do to be worthy, to contribute, to give something. And you say that God is within me. I realize I am looking inside for some concept I got from the outside.It is like looking down into a well in the night. I see reflections and I think it is the bottom, but it is only the surface. Even when I know I need only let and wait rather than look for anything, I am still waiting for my own concepts of what should happen. Please comment.

There's a sense of optimism among distributors about 2014, according to Grant Thornton LLP's Supply Chain Ingenuity survey. More than 9 in 10 expect their company's sales growth rate to either accelerate or stay the same. Almost 9 in 10 are planning to either grow or keep their inventories flat in 2014. And 2 in 5 predict they'll grow their sales team to more than 30 people within the next two years.
These are good, encouraging numbers that show the industry is again eager — and able — to grow. But our survey also revealed some gaps in the growth strategy, which may put distributors that ignore them at a big disadvantage.
Ask yourself these four questions to see if you're missing out on hidden opportunities:
1. Is e-commerce part of your growth strategy? About half (52 percent) of distributors told us that 10 percent or less of their company's sales are e-commerce driven. This is a missed growth opportunity because sales channel diversity may drive higher profit margins.
2. Are you giving vending solutions enough credit? Vending is a growing trend among distributors, largely driven by end customers. We've found that only one-quarter of distributors offer vending solutions, even though customers appreciate the convenience and savings they offer.
3. Are you using your profit-mapping tools to their fullest potential? More than 77 percent of distributors said that their company's IT platform allows for full profit mapping. Chances are you're analyzing data primarily by customer, vendor and invoice. But are you also looking at SKU, branch and end market, among other variables? These may not be top of mind data points, but they can help you identify hidden pockets of profitability.
4. Are you able to get actionable insights from your data? Most companies sit on a mountain of data, but few know how to put that information to work. Leverage your current tools — including the profit-mapping — to see how you can optimize your current processes or what strategies will give you the highest margins.
Being good is not good enough anymore. In order to gain a sharper competitive edge, you need to look beyond the traditional growth strategies and see opportunities where others see risk.

Anyone got a nice solution for routing the cable of an adjustable seatpost with remote like the new reverb? I got a new reverb a couple of days ago and have tried a number of different ways and not really happy with any of them. The problem area is around the upper pivot linkage below the seatpost clamp. I want to keep the cable from touching and rubbing the carbon link due to wear problems. I originally had it routed nicely where the cable went in the small space between the frame's seat tube and the carbon link and it appeared to have enough space, but after 1 ride I noticed wear on the carbon link from the constant rubbing against the cable. Also tried twist tied to top of the rear brake cable using the same hole in the link as the brake cable uses but this had the same problem. Any ides and picts would be much appreciated.

The Worf & Troi romance... what are your thoughts on it?

Re: The Worf & Troi romance... what are your thoughts on it?
It made no sense and came from out of nowhere. I mean Worf once LAUGHED at the idea of sleeping with a human woman, citing them as too fragile. This was a man we saw who CRAVED Klingon love, interaction and traditions. So unless Troi was a REAL minx it bed the two of them hooking up made zero sense.
Just because it's futuristic doesn't mean it's practical.

The Pasadena Roving Archers Saturday instruction program will be OPEN on December 20 & 27 and January 3, weather permitting. (Check the 3-day forecast in the lower right of our page.)
Council Hearing Postponed
The City Council discussion on Archery Range that was scheduled for December 15 has been POSTPONED! It looks like we'll go to council in February. We'll let everyone know as soon as the date is confirmed.
This is not a bad thing. Everyone is busy at this time of year, so a February date is better to get archers/supporters to the Council meeting. We have more time to prepare. Watch the PRA Facebook page and the Pasadena Archery site/Facebook page for updates and info on how you can help!
If you live in Pasadena, please call, write or email your councilperson, AND in districts where the seat is up for election (1, 2, 4 6), you can do the same with all the candidates.
You can also contact the mayoral candidates and tell them that the archery range is a campaign issue, that the Mayor represents all of Pasadena and not just District 6, that the Lower Arroyo is YOUR park, too, and that you're voting for the candidate you believe will serve the people of Pasadena, which includes protecting and preserving this historic range and its popular educational program. Thank you so MUCH!
Help Preserve Pasadena's Historic Archery Range
The Pasadena City Council has for some time been considering an agreement regarding the historic Lower Arroyo Archery Range, and will bring the issue to be heard at a public meeting, the date of which is yet to be determined. This is Pasadena's last remaining archery range, and it has been in the Lower Arroyo Park for 79 years — in fact, it is the world's oldest continually operating field archery range.
The Pasadena Roving Archers (PRA) maintain the range and use it for 14 hours per week to provide inexpensive archery instruction to the public and to conduct archery tournaments – which are also open to the public. The city is paid a portion of the fees collected for these classes and tournaments. For the remaining 85% of the hours during which the park is open, the range is available for archery use by the public.
The agreement under consideration essentially preserves the status quo – allowing the archery range to continue to exist in the park as it has for so long, and as described in the city's own Lower Arroyo Master Plan.
- The agreement does not increase the size of the archery range.
- The agreement does not increase the number of hours that the Pasadena Roving Archers use the range. The PRA does not have – and does not want – exclusive use of the area.
- The archers have not requested any action be taken in the Arroyo. The PRA are not making any demands or seeking anything other than to continue operating.
In its 79-year history, there has never been an archery accident on the range, and the agreement would help maintain this perfect safety record by improving safety in two concrete ways:
- Natural barriers would be used to prevent pedestrians from walking on a target maintenance trail that crosses shooting lanes. This is consistent with the Master Plan, which calls for hiking paths and other recreational activities to be separated from the range by means of natural barriers such as trees and rocks.
- All archers using the range would be required to prominently display City-issued credentials, reflecting completion of a safety training class or competency exam.
The agreement would also increase the fees paid by the Pasadena Roving Archers to the city. According to the report by the city's Public Works Administrator, "it is anticipated that the execution of this agreement will result in a significant increase in revenue to the City."
Recently, a group of Pasadena residents who believe that "[t]he ultimate objective needs to be the removal of archery from the Lower Arroyo" have created a group called "Stewards of Public Land" in an effort to generate support for their cause.
Unfortunately, much of the information on the group's web site is misleading or erroneous. For example, contrary to what is stated on the web site:
- The agreement under consideration does not "permanently prohibit walking, jogging, dog-walking, birding and other forms of enjoyment of nature on the West side of the Lower Arroyo". Pasadena is home to nearly 25 miles of hiking trails in the Arroyo Seco alone, and the agreement would do nothing to restrict the use of any of these existing trails.
- The archery range is not "devoted to an exclusive private use." It is available for public use for archery. The archery range is a dedicated area for a specific purpose, just like Brookside golf course, the casting pond, tennis courts, basketball courts, Hahamongna Frisbee golf course, and the lawn bowling field. The proposal is consistent with Pasadena Municipal Code (3.32.110), which specifies that archery and hiking are both permitted activities, and that all permitted activities must be restricted to their defined activity areas.
- The size of the archery range is not 18 Acres. According to Pasadena Public Works, the Southern range is approximately 7.5 acres. The Northern range is approximately 4 acres, and is used for archery less than 8 hours per month – at all other times this area is available for hiking and other passive recreation uses.
This map illustrates the size of the archery range relative to the rest of the Lower Arroyo Park.
What About Safety?
As noted above, the proposal improves safety, in part by using natural barriers to keep pedestrians from taking a shortcut through the archery range when walking in the Lower Arroyo. The 2011 Pasadena Police Department report calls for the elimination of walking through the range and the construction of barriers to prevent this dangerous practice. So does the Master Plan.
It's important to assess safety based on facts rather than perception. The fact is, there has never been an archery accident at this range in its entire 79-year history.
This perfect safety record is not due to some unusual string of luck, this is the norm for archery.
National Safety Council statistics indicate that archery is more than three times safer than golf. And nearly all of the accidents that contribute to those statistics are from bow hunters cutting themselves on sharp hunting arrowheads that are prohibited at this range.
The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks commissioned a study of the safety of archery. They concluded that:
"archery is one of the safest sports, with an injury rate of less than one incident per 1,000 participants, in 2004 (Table 1). Recreational activities like golf and fishing have an injury rate of up to 1.5 to 2 times the rate for archery (Figure 1). Common sports like soccer, baseball and basketball have injury rates 15 to 25 times that of archery (Figure 1)."
The PRA believes that measures included in the current proposal will help the range to continue its perfect safety record.
Please Help!
Help ensure that the Historic Pasadena Field Archery Range continues to be the vital place it has been for nearly 80 years. Join in the call to the Pasadena City Council to protect and preserve the Historic Pasadena Field Archery Range and the people who thrive there. Here's how you can help:
- Sign our petition.
- Come to the city council meeting on September 15 to show your support in person.
- Send a brief email to the Pasadena City Council, asking them to preserve the historic Lower Arroyo Archery Range.
- If you would like for your email to be included as part of the official record, please copy City Clerk Mark Jomsky, email@example.com and ask that it be distributed to all of the council members and included in the agenda packet for the meeting.
- You can send an email to all council members at email@example.com
- If you live in Pasadena, you can find your city council district at http://cityofpasadena.net/Map/ and send an email to your council member.
With your help, we can preserve Pasadena's only remaining archery range.

Will the HITECH Act be Effective or a Bust?
There are hardship exceptions available for critical access hospitals in the regulations, vendors are offering flexible payment solutions where providers can pay for systems on the backend, and there are grants for regional extension centers and states to help providers implement EHR systems and achieve "meaningful use" and establish health information exchanges. But time keeps ticking, deadlines are looming, and there is still an enormous amount of work to be done. It seems to me that many of the providers who need the incentive payments the most are probably facing penalties instead.
There will be thousands of hospitals and physicians trying to do the right thing very quickly, says Overhage. "The risk is significant that we won't do it right."
With the likelihood that many rural and small community providers will lag behind, will that threaten to drag the whole effort under or can the early adopters and larger systems achieve enough success to keep the momentum towards a national electronic health system moving forward?
I don't have the answers. And the early adopters of EHRs have concerns of their own. Many do not know whether their existing systems will be certified or if they will have to make major upgrades to their existing systems or even start from scratch.
The demand on vendors from existing clients could be enormous not to mention all the new clients that will want to implement systems—and fast. I know vendors are promising they will have the resources to meet the demand and their systems will be certified. I guess time will tell whether they were right.

Ipswich Magazine (Newspaper) - February 1, 1800, London, Middlesex THE For FEBRUARY, 1800. " THE MARQUIS CORtftFALLtS, THE fubject of this memoir has acted with success in the character of a statesman as well as a soldier* Like the Roman consuls of old, he has received and dispatched ambassadors; he has declared war, and granted peace. He fought for the preservation of an empire in America; he retained and enlarged the British dominions in Asia; and in Europe, he has humbled the enemies of his country, and, by his energy and humane policy, has crushed, a civil war in the bud. Marquis Cornwallis, whose family is very ancient and honourable, was born Dec. 31st, 1738, and seems to have been intended from his cradle, for the army.

It was thus, in the fields of Germany, and under the most skilful and celebrated generals of the day,- that Lord Broome acquired the rudiments of the art of war, and prepared himself to command, by first learning to obey. In 1761, he was* promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-colonel of the twelfth regiment of foot; and we then find him discharging his civil as well as military duties by sitting as a representative in parliament for the Borough of Eye. On the death of his father, who was the fifth peer of his family, in 1762, he of course vacated his seat in the house of commons, and appeared in the House of Peers, under the title of Earl Cornwallis. In 1765, he was nominated one of the lords of the bedchamber; and about the. same
