Well first off I am really happy we didn't loose power. We did however get pounded with rain. 1/2 an inch Friday night in the span of maybe an hour, and again Saturday with a little over 1/2. Temps have been near 100, the plants look great, but I needed to fertilize, so did that yesterday AM.
More storms forecast for the next few days. Since my plants are pretty well established I don't need to worry about shallow roots do I? And I am pretty sure there is not a thing I can do about it. I had been watering every two or three days. Using the ever reliable sick your finger down about 5-6 inches and feel the soil method. Should I keep using this method and see how the rain does? I don't think I am phrasing this well. |

There's no one right answer for how often or much you should water, because everyone's soil is different. Your ground might even be different from your neighbor's due to differences in amendments made. You can't control the rain, but I think mulch does help. Even a little straw keeps my clay ground from sun-baking into a brick. With my heavy, unamended clay soil, and lately with 100 degree temps and no rain at all I have been letting the drip irrigation run all night every five days. When the temps were in the 90's, I was running it about 4 hours once a week. My clay is great for holding water, but horrible about soaking it up unless I use the drip line to water. I have a separate small patch of tomato plants that I watered every day by spraying with a garden hose. They look so bad that I am going to pull them up. My...um..."all-natural" method of letting some pigweed and johnson grass grow by the plants is paying off this year. They provide shade to protect from sun scald, which is bad this year. They also provide some handy soil tests. All I have to do it pull a weed and see if the weed's roots are dry :) |

harveyhorses seems your method of determinting when to water have worked well so far ,,so why would you stop ? rain or not ? |
A bit off topic, sorry about that: @Cole_Robbie I've got the same clay issues as you do, but with a twist - our May was terrible, rained non stop for 2 weeks and my toms developed shallow roots. Now we've got a heat wave, 15 consecutive days of 95 f. You can't imagine my watering horrors :) and just 3 weeks ago i had to pull 1 tomato cause it's roots have rotten. |

Isn't it funny how the "right way" to garden is determined by the weather? Which, of course, none of us can predict, especially lately. If I knew it would be cold and wet, I'd plant in a ridge of soil and cover it with black plastic. But then the weather changes, and the 100 degree sunshine comes out to cook everything. A large-scale tomato farmer near me puts out about 40 acres of tomatoes every year. This year he switched from black plastic to the kind that is white on top and does not get so hot. They have a single stake holding up each plant. I know they have a lot of sun scald this year. My shallow-root tomatoes not only did not grow well, their taste quickly went downhill as the plants got worse. Sweetness went down, skins got tougher, and there was less flesh to the inside of the fruit. |

My main concern was the need to fertilize and not over water, sooo not an issue three days later. They got their dose, and no rain, so wait for the sun to drop and give the poor things some H2O. They hold up in this heat a LOT better than I do, I wilt after about 45 min. I guess I didn't add enough 'organic matter' last winter. |

I fell in love with this color when I tried it on my nails at Sephora. However, my husband didn't like it and when I got people's opinions at work, they didn't like it either. It makes me wonder why I was the only one who like it so much. Now, the more I look at it, the more blah it looks. Maybe it was the lighting in Sephora. Someone said it looked to fleshtone. It does chip like crazy. I'm still going to wear it though, cause I like it! This mint green shimmer in the lavender appears to go away when you put on multiple layers to get that mate look. I think it is prettiest with just one coat for a sheer colorful shimmer.
Very nice color, but chips like crazy even with a base and top coat! Once I put it on and it chipped within a couple hours. =(
This would be wonderful on cool-toned ladies, but I don't care and still love to wear mine :P It holds up pretty well during the week, but I do use a coat of clear topcoat over it.
This is one of my favorite Hard Candy Polishes. It is a beautiful shimmer lavander that flashes mint green. Very flattering on my pale skin. Like all HC polishes, it has a pretty good wear time (about 5-6 days), but this one is a touch sheer, and usually requires an additional coat or two to get a nice, opaque finish.

Green Right Now
Paul Dorn knows that getting Americans to ride a bike to work instead of driving a car is quite the uphill battle. Even on a good day, he says, only a tiny percentage of the nation's commuters use pedal power to get to their jobs.
He remains undeterred.
Given that this is national Bike to Work Week, it's an apt time to pick Dorn's brain on the subject. Between co-authoring a book (The Bike to Work Guide: What You Need to Know to Save Gas, Go Green, Get Fit) his bike commuting advice Web site and his commuting tips blog, he is well-versed in the subject.
"I'm fairly typical of most Americans in the sense that the day I got my driver's license, the bike went into the garage. I didn't really touch it again until my mid-30s, when I was living in San Francisco, and didn't have a car," he said. His frustrating mass transit commute took 90 minutes. So he hopped on a bike, cut the commuting time in half, felt healthier, stopped paying bus fare and just generally started having more fun.
He's still doing it at age 48, (now living in Sacramento and working at The University of California at Davis) and hasn't owned a car since 1992.
Of course, starting out in San Francisco helped. It's a generally bike-friendly city, and Dorn (pictured at left) found a supportive cycling community to tell him about equipment, routes to avoid traffic and other advice. He started the website in 1997 as a class exercise. "People started finding it and at the time there weren't a lot of online resources on the subject," he said. So he offered guidance in bikes and equipment, dealing with bad weather and traffic and now has a loyal following.
"I'm just trying to provide inspiration and information for people who might be traveling by bike."
Bike to Work Week is the brainchild of the League of American Bicyclists (which traces its roots to 1880). The organization offers support, advocacy, resources, education and information to their 300,000 affiliated cyclists. It's all about creating a more bicycle-friendly America.
To that end, they have a project guide for cyclists interested in organizing events and support for Bike to Work Week as well as Bike Month (which is now). Part of the guide includes suggestions for overcoming excuses not to ride your bike to work (if you say you're too out of shape, they say ride at an easy pace, and try it on a weekend; if you say it will take too long, they respond that car commuters travel an average 10 mph, and you'll eventually go faster on the bike; it's too far, you say – then combine riding and mass transit to shorten your commute).

U.S. DOT Proposes Rule to Ban Hand-Held Cell Phone Use for Commercial Truck and Bus Drivers
WASHINGTON -As part of its campaign to put an end to the practice of distracted driving, the U.S. Department of Transportation today proposed a new safety regulation that would specifically prohibit interstate commercial truck and bus drivers from using hand-held cell phones while operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV).
"Every time a commercial truck or bus driver takes his or her eyes off the road to use a cell phone, even for a few seconds, the driver places everyone around them at risk," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "This proposed rule will go a long way toward keeping a driver's full attention focused on the road."
The proposed Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rule would prohibit commercial drivers from reaching for, holding or dialing a cell phone while operating a CMV. Drivers who violate these restrictions would face federal civil penalties of up to $2,750 for each offense and disqualification of their commercial driver's license (CDL) for multiple offenses. Additionally, states would suspend a driver's CDL after two or more violations of any state law on hand-held cell phone use.
Motor carriers that allow their drivers to use hand-held cell phones while driving would face a maximum penalty of $11,000. Approximately four million interstate commercial drivers would be affected by this proposal.
"We are committed to using every resource at our disposal to ensure commercial drivers and vehicles are operating safely at all times," said FMCSA Administrator Anne S. Ferro. "Implementation of this proposal would help make our roads safer and target a leading cause of distracted driving."
FMCSA research shows that using a hand-held cell phone while driving requires a commercial driver to take several risky steps. In particular, commercial drivers reaching for an object, such as a cell phone, while driving are three times more likely to be involved in a crash or other safety-critical event. Drivers dialing a hand-held cell phone while driving increase their risk by six times. Many of the largest carriers, such as UPS, Covenant Transport, and Wal-Mart, already have company policies in place banning their drivers from using hand-held phones. In September 2010, FMCSA issued a regulation banning text messaging while operating a commercial motor vehicle.
Nearly 5,500 people died and half a million were injured in crashes involving a distracted driver in 2009. Distraction-related fatalities represented 16 percent of overall traffic fatalities in 2009, according to National Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration (NHTSA) research.
FMCSA is providing 60 days for the public to comment on this rule making. The comment period begins once the proposed rule is published in the FederalRegister. The proposal and information about how to submit comments is here.
To learn more about the U.S. Department of Transportation's efforts to stop distracted driving, please visit www.distraction.gov
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) proposes to restrict the use of hand-held mobile telephones by drivers of commercial motor vehicles(CMVs) while operating in interstate commerce. The Agency proposes new driver disqualification sanctions for interstate drivers of CMVs who incur multiple violations of this Federal restriction and new driver disqualification sanctions for commercial driver's license (CDL) holders who have multiple convictions for violating a State traffic law that restricts the use of hand-held mobile telephones. Additionally, interstate motor carriers would be prohibited from requiring or allowing drivers of CMVs to engage in the use of a hand-held mobile telephone while operating in interstate commerce. This rule making would improve safety on the Nation's highways by reducing the prevalence of distracted driving-related crashes, fatalities, and injuries involving drivers of CMVs.
What does FMCSA's proposed rule do?
Answer: FMCSA's proposed rule would prohibit a CMV driver from reaching for, holding, or dialing a mobile telephone in order to conduct a voice communication while driving. CMV drivers would be allowed to use mobile telephones equipped or configured for hands-free operation. The proposed rule provides for driver disqualification penalties for interstate drivers convicted of multiple violations of the Federal restriction within a three-year period. FMCSA may assess federal civil penalties of up to $2,750 for each offense against drivers violating the proposed rule and may also assess federal civil penalties of up to $11,000 against employers who require or allow drivers to violate the rule. In addition, the proposed rule provides for driver disqualification penalties for commercial driver's license (CDL) drivers who are convicted, within a three-year period, of multiple violations of applicable State traffic laws concerning use of a mobile telephone while driving.
How many truck and bus drivers would be covered by the rule?
Answer: FMCSA's proposed rule would cover interstate truck and bus drivers subject to the Agency's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, which include approximately 4 million interstate drivers. The addition of the mobile phone restriction to the list of CDL disqualifying offenses would apply to all CMV drivers, including Federal, State, and local government employees (including school bus drivers) who are required to hold CDLs. That means the proposed rule would also affect a few million intrastate CDL drivers if they are convicted of multiple violations of State or local traffic laws concerning mobile telephone use. What is FMCSA's definition of mobile telephone and using a hand-held mobile telephone?
Answer: Mobile telephone means a mobile communication device that falls under or uses any commercial mobile radio service, as defined in regulations of the Federal Communications Commission, 47 CFR 20.3.
FMCSA's proposed rule defines using a hand-held mobile telephone as using at least one hand to reach for, dial or hold a mobile telephone to conduct a voice communication.
Does this proposed rule affect the use of citizens band radios?
Answer: No, it does not include citizens band radios.
Does this proposed rule affect the texting regulation?
Answer: Yes, it would remove the dialing exception from the definition of texting.
Are States required to adopt mobile telephone rules?
Answer: States that receive Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) grants from FMCSA are required to adopt and enforce compatible rules applicable to both interstate and intrastate CMV drivers. The MCSAP is a grant program authorized by Congress to encourage the States to adopt and enforce motor carrier safety and hazardous materials safety regulations compatible with those issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation. One of the eligibility requirements is for the States to adopt compatible rules within 3 years of FMCSA issuing a final rule. Therefore, States would be required to adopt compatible rules within 3 years of the publication of a final rule.With regard to the CDL provision of the proposed rule, States are NOT required to adopt new traffic laws
How long is the comment period for this proposed rule?
FMCSA will be accepting both initial comments and reply comments in response to this Notice of Proposed Rule making (NPRM). Send your initial comments on or before 60 days after the NPRM is published in the Federal Register. Initial comments may address any issue raised in the NPRM and the back ground documents in the docket (e.g., regulatory evaluation, studies, environmental assessment, etc.). In order to allow sufficient opportunity for interested parties to prepare and submit any reply comments, late-filed initial comments will not be considered. Reply comments must be made on or before 90 days after theNPRM is published in the Federal Register. They must address only matters raised in initial comments and must not be used to present new arguments,contentions, or factual materials that are not responsive to th

Dow Chemical in Plaquemine, La. typically makes fertilizer and ethanol. However, efforts toward cleaner skies have given the company a new product to market – the carbon emitting from its smokestacks.
Ann Davis wrote about a joint project between Dow and Texas oil and natural gas company Denbury Resources a couple weeks ago in the Wall Street Journal. Denbury has started buying up the smokestack emissions from the chemical factory.
Using modern technology, Denbury will scrub the carbon from the smoke and ship it via pipeline into its marginal oil fields back in Texas. That carbon, once pumped back into the ground, acts like a solvent for the oil, helping loosen more of it from the rocks.
This is not a new idea. For decades, companies have pumped naturally occurring CO2 from geological basins into existing oil wells. Really, it's just a new way of getting the carbon dioxide. And, what makes this project special is that it is being done without the help of government aid.
One reason why Denbury is able to afford such a project is due to the nature of the emission stream it's using in the first place. Factories like this Dow plant emit an almost pure form carbon dioxide. That means Denbury has less scrubbing to do before sending the carbon dioxide back underground.
In her article, Davis writes: The costs of treating and transporting the carbon dioxide emitted by the Dow plant is slightly higher than the $10 to $20 a ton oil producers pay to harvest naturally occurring, pure carbon dioxide.
If a company were trying to treat the emissions coming from a refinery or coal-plant, it might cost upwards of $50 to $80 per ton. Right now, Dow isn't charging Denbury for its carbon stream. But, with a price difference of $40 to $60 dollars between Dow's CO2 and what it would cost Denbury to go somewhere else, chemical companies may begin to see they have a highly sought after commodity that was once just thought as waste, and close the price gap. Time can only tell.
Denbury's president and COO says he's willing to pay Dow as much as a few hundred thousand dollars a year for its carbon stream, depending upon oil prices. I get the impression he feels the return on investment is worth it.
The reporter quotes Denbury's president and COO Tracy Evans:
"Our message is that this has two benefits. One is the benefit of more domestic energy," says Evans. The other, he says, is "Sticking as least some greenhouse gases in ground permanently in the process."
Capturing the entirety of the Dow plant's carbon dioxide emissions every year, which is what Denbury plans to do, is equal to the yearly emissions of 27,000 cars.

What is a fat quarter (fq) and why would I want one?
A fat quarter is a quarter of a yard of fabric which measures 18" x 22" (in other words, 1/2 yard of fabric which is then cut in half parallel with the selvege); a regular quarter of a yard of fabric measure 9" x 44".Fat quarters are useful as you can cut a larger variety of pieces from them given their "extra" height and allows for more pieces to be cut on the vertical grain of the fabric.

Truly moving to see so many committed and caring parents, teachers, administrators, and stakeholders engage the democratic process to advocate for our City's future (especially in the midst of a monsoon!). Now, time to make it happen.
–@SenBillFerg on Twitter
I'm sure the rain made last night's already challenging logistics even more difficult, so I wanted to make sure you heard from a bus load of students, parents, and teachers who all had a great time at the rally. We thought the rain did little to diminish the enthusiasm of those gathered in Annapolis, and it was empowering to stand side-by-side with so many other people who care about public education in the City.Thank you for your many, many hours of hard work on behalf of our kids and our city.
–Hugh Bethell, on behalf of Federal Hill Prep School (#45)
The Rally was great! For many of our attendees it was a first time experience. Everyone did enjoy themselves, and they seemed to have all learned something too.
–Nikee Ryan, City Neighbors High School
Last night was truly amazing… as the buses poured out students, parents and educators, I was struck by the fact that this is truly the first time I have witnessed such collective action on behalf of Baltimore City. As a recent arrival (just under six years), thank you for energizing my commitment to the City. Elev8's potential is great because of BEC.

PARKVILLE, Mo. – The Baker University men's soccer team knocked off local rival Park University 1-0 on Friday evening.
Junior Odaine Sinclair scored what would end up being the game-winning goal in the 14th minute on a 25-yard blast past the goalkeeper.
Defender Alain Matigou led the Pirates with two shots on goal in the contest. Goalkeeper Matt Bickley made five saves in the contest to record his second shutout of the season.

Japanese Scientists Want to Charge Electric Vehicle Battery through Its Tires
I think electric vehicles are interesting enough, but they have a lot of practical limitations that keep most drivers from considering them. Probably the biggest issues are driving range and the time it takes to charge the batteries. Faster battery charging and higher capacity batteries are one way to get around this particular limitation. However, what may be the best way to get people buying an EV is to develop a system that charges the vehicle as it drives down the road.
A group of Japanese researchers are showing off a system that has the potential to do just that. The researchers have invented a wireless charging system that is able to transmit electricity from a charging plate under 4 inches of concrete directly through the tires of the car and into the vehicle batteries.
In the demonstration, the researchers are transmitting enough power through concrete blocks and into the car's tires to make a light bulb glow. Naturally, we would need an infrastructure that had charging plates under the nation's roadways to make this work, but not having to stop to charge your car would certainly make owning and driving an EV a more appealing proposition.

Great! Conductive tires, so much for surviving downed power lines and lightning strikes by just staying inside your car.
There is nothing conductive. This is all about induction.

Hello, guys!
Since 2010, I have been tracking the development of a very nice NoSQL database: Neo4j, a very nice graph database. This short article will not talk about when you should or not use NoSQL databases, so take a look at this link to have more information about scenarios.
As we mentioned before, Neo4j is a graph database. As the description suggests, a graph database is a structure that stores information into a graph. It means that the data will be available in nodes and relationships between nodes. More technically speaking, database elements have a kind of pointer to an adjacent element, and an index, such as MySQL indexes, become unnecessary. There are several graph databases projects, not only Neo4j. We can mention on this list AllegroGraph, Filament and GraphBase.
Developed in Java language, Neo4j has several nice tools and resources. Following graph databases model, it has Nodes and nodes may have Properties. Properties are similar to attributes for classes - they describe node's information. A node can communicate with another node trough Relationships. Take a look at the image below to have a better understanding of these concepts:
At the image above, "Pokémon Trainer", "Pokémon" and "Badge" are nodes. Each node has is own properties set. "Captures" and "collects" are examples of relationships.
You can navigate among the data stored into Neo4j using an operation called Traversal. Traversal is responsible for enabling searches like "What Pokémon Ash does have that I do not have" (supposing you are a Pokémon trainer like me). Neo4j let's you do more, you can search for a node given a specific property, or even a specific relationship.This would let you create queries like "Find the Pokémon trainer which has more Charizards on the team" or "list Pokémon that did not collect Saffron Badge".
This was a quick intro post about Neo4j. I'll publish a sequence of posts with more practical examples. If you can't wait for them, take a look at Neo4j learning material here, or take a look at Jim Webber's book about Graph databases. If you are worried about using Neo4j on the cloud, don't be. Big PaaS, such as Heroku, already have add-ons for it.
This is it! Let's start graphing! =)

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

When Antoine Tempé and Omar Victor Diop put their minds together, they created a stunning collection of work that changed the perception of traditional movie posters.
This collection was created for an exhibit entitled 'Onomollywood,' and the photographers wanted to change iconic movie posters. Instead of leaving the popular actor as the subject for the poster, they changed it to be Senegalese models. The models completely changed the theme of the posters, and having these models made the movie posters more diverse. Also, by using strictly Senegalese models, Tempe and Diop were able to raise awareness, and also highlight Senegalese culture. Antoine Tempé and Omar Victor Diop created an incredible series that definitely re-imagines the classic movie posters that many are used to.

This is just showing that you can use it much like the auction house and just search in a sub-section. Here I was checking what scrolls my characters had.
- Guild Banks
This feature keeps a list of what was in the guild bank tabs the last time you checked them. This is not a live and current list though. However, if your guild lets you use mats for enchants, you can generally figure out what items you can get from them and what ones you'll still need to buy. It will also show the current guild bank amount, but I smudged that out for the privacy of my guild.

Here you can keep track of which achievements your characters have and which ones are still missing.
- Options
Here's a quick look at the options tab.

"Award Winning Information"
When Al Gore released his movie, An Inconvenient Truth in 2006, it won an Academy Award for best documentary. Charles Fishman should win some kind of award in "The Big Thirst" because this could be another documentary that could overwhelm the screens. The Pulitzer Prize should give an award to Fishman in this category because this is the best informational book thus far.
Water is a natural resource that we need to survive no matter what is your economical status and no matter where you live. If you want to know everything about water, such as Las Vegas or how they meter water in different metropolis or not having 24 hour of service that people in America takes for granted, then, this will be your best book that you will ever read.
You don't have to be an environmentalist to be concern of water. I don't recycle, drive a gas guzzler, and like having more nuclear power plants, but I can't stand a drippy faucet or a running toilet.
"Being Social"
Growing up with a disability, I always had a hard time being social no matter how many friends I had. I always felt like that I stuck out like a sore thumb. Ironically, I overcame my fears and more people knows me than I know them. At some point in my life, I became a rolling billboard for most people because of my unique ability to use my feet. I only have a handful of friends that I'm close with, and rooms full of names that I choose to not to know. I also choose not to have a social media status because I find posting to be counterproductive to the real thing. I don't need thousands of followers that I will never meet other than reading their texts.
By the way, I don't Tweet, Posts and unless we met in real life and have a common interest, I don't Friend either.
"Social: Why Our Brains are Wired to Connect," by Matthew Lieberman, is a remarkable study how our brain is wired at being social. Outstanding information how being social betters our society in every way. This book really hit home when he tries to explain that being social is like a smoker having two packs of cigarettes a day. Really interesting on human beings needs to be social and how the act of communicating can can teach, learn, and encourage others. There are many more examples from Lieberman and they are all well explain.
I'm not into aviation, but if you are going overseas, you will most likely be traveling on a "747." Very interesting story how the aircraft became about. The book reads more like an autobiography for Joe Sutter. He was the head engineer for the aircraft at Boeing. 747 changed how we fly.
"Poorly Bounded"
I always learn something new when I read about Hitler, but Ben Urwand tries too hard in "The Collaboration." Hitler's links to Hollywood over one reel, (All Quiet on the Western Front) was a bit of a stretch for a book. The author just tries too hard on hot Hitler had a strong hold on Hollywood.
After a while, I lost interest in the book because I couldn't connect the dots. It's an interesting subject, but not well explain. This book is poorly bounded with loose information. It lacks in structure.
The subject needs to be redone by an historian.
"Where is the F Bomb?"
I was looking forwarding at reading "Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck" because I am human and I use the F word when I'm frustrated, happy, or sad, but I couldn't stop swearing as I listen to Amy Alkon ongoing rants. She is just a complainer. Do's and Don'ts. After a while, I found her rules to be nonsense. F*ck, this book was just bad. Can't believe that she got popular from her Ask Amy columns. Her humor supposed to be funny, but I found this book to be annoying. Not my kind of read at all.
"Disappointing Ride"
The biography on "Walt Disney" by Neal Gabler is tedious, dull, and boring. I was expecting more of Mr. Disney's life and the magic kingdom, but too much detail on the business, going broke, and the making of Snow White. I almost couldn't finish this book because there were too many footnotes after footnotes. I bought the wrong book because I learned nothing on the creator, other than being a tyrant. It was like waiting in line and being disappointed with the ride.
"Why #8.5?"
I'm not sure why "A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows" is book #8.5 in the Outlander series. I understand that this is a short story about Roger's parents, but how come this novella was after "Written in My Own Heart's Blood?" #8 was publish in 2014 and #8.5 was published in 2012 after "An Echo in the Bone." I'm not sure on the numbering on this one. It doesn't make sense. Shouldn't the story of Roger's parents come before #8?
"Similar Authors"
Don Winslow is a similar author to Johnny Shaw, but Winslow has less humor than Shaw. Due to the holidays, I couldn't devote my time with "The Winter of Frankie Machine.." I read this book in between meals, sports, naps, and talking to my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. I should read this book again to get the full scope of the San Diego, surfer, murder mystery. I read this one sporadically.
"Bloody H. Christ, Good"
Over the last five months I've been consumed with the Outlander series. Ever since Audible had the first book as one of their Daily Deals, I've been addictive with Claire, Jamie, Brianna, Roger, and Frank. Now that I came to the end of the journey, I find myself going through withdraws and hope that the author will write just one more, #9 and hopefully #10. While we are at it, let's make it a baker's dozen, #13.
In the meantime, I will try to listen to all of the novellas to keep the urge at bay. I've been told from my friends that the novellas are like Methadone for Diana Gabaldon addicts. I'm getting ready for daily meetings, my new sobriety birthday and rehab because this is one of the best series that I've listened to.
"Written in My Own Heart's Blood (Moby)" is Bloody H. Christ, Good! I almost couldn't get through "An Echo of the Bones", but "Moby" just had it all for me. #8 and #3 (Voyager) are my favorite books in the series. They really stood out.
I really enjoyed how Gabaldon introduced General Washington and General Lee during the Revolution War. The wedding night with Ian and Rachel is probably the best scene that I've listened to in my entire library. Auntie Claire giving Ian advice was classic, "Oh God." Very funny.
Let's not forget the explanation about the time travel from Brianna, fire, deaths and finally, Claire facing her predator.
I need to thank my friends for forcing me to read this series. We had many discussions in our book club with numerous theories on what will happen next. Perhaps, Diana Gabaldon will write another series with Jem and Mandy to get a childhood prospective of the stones? Or maybe Claire will time travel 60 years in the future and be apart of the Civil war?
Whatever the next story might be, we don't want it to end at "Moby."
It was a pleasure at listening to Davina Porter's performance. During the last four hours of #8, I put the audio back onto normal speed to save the last bits of words as long as possible.
As I mention before, this is one of the best series that I have listened to and if Dr. Fraser was real, I would want her to be my PCP.
"Jumble Together"
The information that is presented in "City: A Guidebook for the Urban Age" is jumble together. The author has no organization skills. The book jumps from topic to topic with no cohesiveness. I don't mind text book writing, but I would hate to see the index of this book because the audiobook wasn't well put together. I don't know what Peter D. Smith was thinking, but the information of the topic is so random, that you feel that you are playing Trivial Pursuit. Poorly written in all counts.
"Getting Ready for #8"
I think if I didn't read the last 7 books in the previous months, I would had appreciate "The Space Between" more, but I'm getting ready to start "Written in My Own Heart's Blood" very soon. So, I don't really have the excitement to wait for #8 to come out since its already published. There is a 5 year gap between "An Echo in the Bone" and this novella. I would had been ecstatic to get "The Space Between" if I needed to wait for Diana Gabaldon to continue on with Outlander, but I'm about to be caught up with the entire series within 6 months. Not too sure how important is #7.5 or Joan MacKimmie has any role in Moby. I give this one 3 stars because I like seeing Diana Gabaldon writing more side stories from Outlander.

I recently bought 2 beautiful dalmatian mollies a couple of weeks ago. I can't seem to tell if one is a female or not. Both are mostly black and the pics I have seen on the internet show that the females are mostly white with a few black spots. The one in question is mostly black, but it appears to have quite a bit of white on it and the other fish is alot darker and has alot more black on it. The internet also says something about a pregnancy spot. What is this and where would I find it. The only reason I ask, is that the fish I think may be a female looks rather chubby in the belly and she/it has a red spot on her sides. I recently had baby fish and I don't know who the parents are and I wonder if maybe my mollies may be the parents. Also, recently, the male fish has been chasing off the other one (female/it). It's almost like he is jelous and doesn't want anyone touching her or something weird like that. If someone has any clues that would help me, that would be great.

Just like most livebearers the anal fin (fin on the bottom closest to the tail)will dictate the sex. Females have a kind of seashell ( for lack of better term) look. Males have a pointed fin, like a stick or something similar sounding 80) check the bottom of the page in this link for pictures. |

Click on the link for a picture of a female guppy. That will give you the concept of the same for the molly. Females are larger than males and have rounded fins. |

a fair price for the test. This should serve as an incentive to accelerate data collection. Data collection can also be speeded by enabling investigators to collaborate, pooling their data. For very rare diseases, commercial sponsors of such collaboration are unlikely to be forthcoming. Support for collaborative studies will greatly speed the process of making these tests available to the public, and long-term support may be needed to conduct some of these studies.
An estimated 4 million screening blood specimens from heel-sticks of newborns are tested annually in the United States for at least one genetic disorder. Many of these tests are performed in state laboratories; some state laboratories subcontract work to commercial laboratories (Table 3-1). CDC provides the only proficiency testing program for newborn screening in the United States. For 39 state and territorial and 28 private laboratories participating in proficiency testing for newborn screening, CDC absorbs the cost of the testing program.
Participation in the program is voluntary; 115 organizations participate, including manufacturers and international laboratories, 39 state and territorial laboratories, and 28 private laboratories. Data on the quality of programs participating in CDC's voluntary program show substantial error rates, in excess of 5 percent false negatives (Holtzman et al., 1986; Adam and Hannon, 1992). CDC has consulted HCFA concerning approval of the CDC newborn screening proficiency testing program as a provider of proficiency testing under CLIA88; at present, CLIA88 regulations cover only one of the ten newborn screening tests, hypothyroidism (using thyroxine and thyroid stimulating hormone) (B. Adam, CDC, personal communication, January 1993).
Errors in screening for genetic disorders may also be greater than for other tests because it entails the testing of many people who will not have the condition being screened for. This is true in carrier and prenatal as well as newborn testing. When tests of high sensitivity and specificity are used in populations in which the condition being screened is of low prevalence, the predictive value of the result may be low. If, in addition, laboratory error adds substantially to the number of false negatives and false positives, the safety and benefit of screening come into question. This concern is all the more important because unlike many other medical procedures, it is usually not the patient who initiates the process but the health care provider or the state (in the case of newborn screening). This increases the possibility that the person being tested could misunderstand the objectives of testing and misinterpret the results. Errors in screening may also be greater than in other medical tests because many specimens are handled simultaneously and may be analyzed at a site far removed from where they were obtained. Thus the entire screening process, from informing the patient (or parent) through final disposition (giving the patient or parent the result or placing it on the patient's record), should be subject to quality control.

By James Startt, European Associate to Bicycling
April 11, 2009
Chantilly, France:
My wrists, throbbing up to my elbows, wake me in the morning. Saddle sores sting even as I lie in my bed. And then I am reminded. These are the post-Paris-Roubaix blues.
This past Friday I once again had the dubious honor of riding with the Quickstep cycling team over the cobble stone roads of Paris-Roubaix, generally considered the most brutal single-day race in the world.
On schedule, roughly 60 kilometers with 10 to 12 cobble stone "secteurs," or sections-depending on how you count them-that the riders will race across this Sunday in the race otherwise known as, "The Hell of the North."
"This race definitely destroys you more than any other race...100 percent," American George Hincapie told me this week, when speaking of the toll this event takes on one's body as these desolate farm roads rattle and jolt the peloton.
Once upon a time, the cobblestones were neatly packed and evenly laid. But that was decades and likely centuries ago. Since then, generations of wagon wheels, tractor wheels and bicycle wheels have reduced them into nothing but a quagmire of rocks and dirt. And one bicycle race a year does not generate enough interest to make significant repairs on these otherwise forgotten roads.
Instead these bare roads simply set the stage for the most grueling, let alone dramatic, single-day race in the world.
Paris-Roubaix demands a special kind of rider, one that has a rare combination of power, force and a blind sense of balance. "You don't have to control, you just have to let go with your bike," said Swiss rider Fabien Cancellara.
Last year I was invited by the Specialized bicycle company to accompany the Quickstep team during their reconnaissance ride over the cobble stones, in sort of a dream come true, and one that held dubious honors. Reeling with leg cramps, my ride finished 10 kilometers early. My legs locked and I could simply go no further. But my efforts allowed me to be invited back one more year.
This year I held the secret desire to actually go the distance. But I was also at a certain disadvantage. I didn't know the exact degree of fear and folly that awaited me. For the Quickstep pros, this ride is an easy warm up. They chat easily and roll along. For myself, such a ride is nothing less than a full-on race, not to win, but simply to survive.
In typical fashion, void of any warm-up, we began our ride by blasting down the treacherous Wallers-Arenberg forest. Paris-Roubaix is never won here. But it is often lost. As we skate down the riviting descent I think of three-time Belgian winner Johan Museeuw and the right knee that he left here one year in the rain and snow.
And I thank the "Gods of Paris," that the cobbles are dry. So far so good I think as I eye what I perceive to be the end of this forest road. But arriving at this fixed point I realize that we are only at the halfway mark. "Shit!" I think. I am already hallucinating. And the ride has just begun.
I remember the sections that follow to be a gentler and kinder breed of cobbles. But on this day the Quickstep team attacks them with a vengeance I do not remember 12 months ago. I struggle to maintain contact on each section. I know already that I am in way in over my head. After only three sections of cobbles I am so far into the red zone I don't want to think about the distance still ahead of me.
After each section I roll up to the group. "One down. Two down. Three down," I tell Belgian cyclist Kevin Van Impe, a team rider who is riding easily on the back of the group. "You're counting ?" he simply responds with some surpise.
Already in the fourth section of Tilloy a Sars-et-Rosieres I get dropped. Passed by a steady stream of team cars and motorcyclists carrying photographers and cameramen, I am engulfed in the cloud of dust. Now, instead of blindly following the steady line of the Quickstep riders I am blinded by a dirty haze. Any sense of momentum is lost and I simply try to avoid crashing as I am jolted from rock to rock.
Chasing madly only once back on the main roads can I catch back on. "Why does an Italian like you keep riding Paris-Roubaix," I ask Matteo Tosatto the lone Italian on the team this year. "It's the most beautiful race in the world, " he says without hesitating. I cough and agree.
Seeing the team leader and two-time winner Tom Boonen for the first time I try to put on a good face. "Hey Tom, I think you guys are actually riding faster that last year," I say feigning a smile. "Yeah," he says, with his trademark grin. "I think we're actually going to slow down in a little while."
The Gods of Paris Roubaix may be with me today.
Soon the riders stop for drinks at the team van. I notice that the constant jarring has forced my seat post to lower considerably and with an Allen key I raise the seat and start to lock it down once again. "Is that how you do it?" says Sylvain Chavanel, the team's new French recruit. "Well I got no tape measure and all I know is I just got to raise the seat," I retort. He laughs.
We roll on. Chavanel is riding his first Paris-Roubaix in seven years. I ask him what it is like to get back on the cobbles. "Oh man I forgot how hard it was. We've only been riding for an hour and my arms are killing me."
Still on the front we arrive at the section of Auchy-les-Orchies a Bersee. Boonen is on my wheel and I signal to him to pass before we enter the cobbles. "No," he says. "You're doing fine. You lead this one."
The pressure is on now I think. I wind it up as best possible and try to hold a good line over the center, generally the best part of the cobbles. But mid-way through the 2.6 kilometer stretch the road begins to rise. I fade and succumb as the entire team parades by me. My only consolation is having the best seat in the house to watch Boonen float by me.
"How many more sections?" Van Impe says with a gentle laugh once we have regrouped. I make a quick calculation. "Still five to go I reckon," as my heart sinks. I realize that at least one of the most daunting sections still awaits.
Rolling along with I chat with Stijn Devolder, who won the Tour of Flanders only days before. "Hey Stijn. Last year you won Flanders. I rode with you here and then Boonen won Roubaix. You won Flanders again. I'm riding with you again. Should be all good for the team on Sunday. "
"Yeah," he says kindly. "It's a nice tradition." On the flipside I understand that if the team should fail to win on Sunday my mascot stature will be in danger.
Swept along by the strong tailwinds I ask Devolder if he prefers headwinds or tailwinds. "Tailwinds," he says. "It just makes the race that much faster. Guys just can't follow the leaders. With a headwind the race is slower and more guys can follow."
I agree politely. But I know the tailwinds are the only thing that allows me to catch back on even as they roll along on this easy training ride.
Suddenly we are there.
"This section is not so bad," Boonen says as we enter. But soon I realize that we are in Mons-en-Pevele, what I consider to be one of the most wicked sections. The three-kilometer section winds back and forth. The tailwinds turn into headwinds. The cobbles seem to possess mouths on them. I don't stand a chance and once again submit to my fate in the dust storms that follow the real cyclists.
I cut my losses knowing that I will likely no longer see the Quickstep team as they roll away once back on the main road. Oh well I think. It's been nice.
A stiff tailwind greets me as I finally exit, however, and the chase is back on. I manage to get back one more time. How many more chases are left in me? We come to the stop sign where I seized up a year ago. I feel the pulse in my two quads and know that full on cramps are not far off. But I can still pedal.
Dropped again on a short section of otherwise easy cobbles, my friend Dirk Nachtergaele, the team's senior soigneur, pulls up and signals for me to tuck in behind his car so that I can draft back to the team.
I catch back on just as we enter another section. I am dropped almost instantly and soon passed. " This is the last one James. You're finished, " the press chief Alessandro Tegner yells to me.
Nobody waits as I exit this time, but I roll on until I see the team bus and pull up beside it.
A crowd hovers around for a glimpse of the pros. I rest my bike against a team van parked behind, and look on with equal admiration. So elegant are they with each pedal stroke, that even on the worst roads the world has to offer, they make cycling appear so effortless that it appears easy for mere mortals like you and I. I'm barely living proof that it is not. Thanks again guys, for an unbelievable day.

Dec 22nd 2009 11:43AM Yeah... But, in my opinion, the game was always fun for the first 20 levels. That starting zone was amazing. It was after that that the game got boring. Which is the part of the game that Funcom does not let you experience. And I'm not saying that's why they don't let you experience it, I'm just saying.
I didn't stop enjoying the game until about level 45-50, where I ran out of quests. And when I went back for the week or two weeks free that I got on my old account, the game just didn't pull me back in.

But, in my opinion, it's been worth my money for the past 5 years because I've got more play time out of that game than any other, for less than the money I would have been spending on other games. But if someone doesn't like it, or MMO's in general, that's their opinion. I used to hate even the idea of paying 15 bucks a month for a game, but now I have no problem with it.

Nov 12th 2009 11:20AM No, it does make you play on Steam. You have to authenticate to the Steam servers and it uses VAC as the anti-cheat system. I think. I haven't bought it yet, but I'm assuming that's what everyone meant by the game using VAC and Steamworks.

Homemade Bulgarian bag.
1 truck tire inner tube ($10 or so)
sand or dirt(free right out of the ground)
zip ties(pennies a piece)
duct tape(who doesn't already have duct tape in the house)
Cheap and effective. Make them as heavy as you want, and since you're cutting the tube in half you can make 2.

Yup, that makes three official remixes of Zedd's "Clarity" that have hit in four days. Brillz brought it into the trap, while Tiesto went to the main room; Felix Cartal is next up, and he comes in hard with this one. He makes good use of Foxes' vocal, but this one is like the darker stepbrother to the original. Too heavy.
This will drop on February 12 via the "Clarity" Remixes EP as well. This will be a monster.

No adress bar pull down facility in Chrome
Gott kvöld hver og einn
after googling somewhat it seems a lot of people have the same issue as I have about Google Chrome not having a drop down in the address bar like IE or FF. This for me is a mega showstopper. Perhaps if enough people want this we can get google to add this in the next release. Whilst I'm not particularly keen on tabbed browsing -- others are so that's a non issue - I think the omission of the drop down facility in the address bar is a MEGA OMISSION. This feature unfortunately renders what at first sight seems like an EXCELLENT browser more or less unuseable for me - and I only use it now when IE8 crashes which it doesn't do nearly as much after applying the latest W7 updates. Perhaps if a few people acknowlege their agreement in this thread google might take note -- I can't believe they actually omitted this feature - what on Earth were the developers doing or who were the users they tested this stuff on. I don't need a formal poll just an indication if people miss the feature or am I fairly unique in wanting this, This is what I mean for example (screen shot enc of address pull down in IE8). skál jimbo |

Opened as the Flour & Firkin in 1998 after conversion from a former toy shop. This former pub chain expanded rapidly in late 1990s and specialised in brewing their own real ale, although this outlet never had it's own brewery (beers were produced at one of the Norwich Firkins). Since then it has been used as a late night music bar (originally as Edward's, renamed Lakota late 2009) which can be very popular at weekends.
Name changed again early 2011 to Colman's, then early 2012 to Bar Sport.
Reported closed in April 2013; this was confirmed in May.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sabrina!
Facts about Sabrina
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Sabrina's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Name: Sabrina
Breed/Color: DSH/Dilute Calico
Temperament: Playful, Cuddly, Sweet
Good with Cats: Yes
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Kids: Yes
Other: Meet Sabrina! Sabrina is a cuddly girl that likes to curl up on any available lap. She is quite playful and especially loved playing with the dog (and his tail!) in her foster home. She also does well with other cats and well behaved children.This beautiful kitten is a gentle soul that can be timid with new situations and people, but she is getting more confident with time. She is especially friendly and charming when she is hungry! Sabrina does have food allergies and needs to eat a certain type of food. Sabrina would love to twitch her nose and find herself in a forever home—could it be yours?
Adoption Fees: All of our cats are spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, vaccinated, tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV, given flea/tick & heartworm preventative, & fecal tested (dewormed if needed) before being adopted out. Sabrina's adoption fee is $160 including tax; adoptive homes are given all vet records at the adoption.
If you are interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application here: http://members.petfinder.org/~MN324/adoptionapp.html
Other Pets at Saved By A Whisker Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sabrina, a Eagan Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Eagan, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Eagan.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Eagan already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Eagan breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Eagan paves the way for another one to be saved.

Maryland Gov. Cites Risk of Executing Innocent Person in Decision to Repeal
Posted: March 18, 2013 3:00 pm
Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley writes about his state's decision to repeal the death penalty in a recent Politico opinion editorial. He writes:
"Between 2000 and 2011, an average of 5 death row inmates were exonerated every year. In Maryland, between 1995 and 2007, our state's reversal rate for the death penalty was 80 percent.On Friday, March 15, Maryland became the sixth state in six years to repeal the death penalty in favor of life imprisonment without parole. Eighteen people have been exonerated through DNA testing after serving time on death row. Kirk Bloodsworth, one of these 18 men, was instrumental in helping to build consensus for the legislation.
Improving public safety is the most fundamental responsibility of our government. The death penalty does not make us stronger or more secure as a people. It is expensive, ineffective, and wasteful as a matter of public policy; it is unjust as historically applied; and its imperfections can and do result in the occasional killing of innocent people."
