While those who enjoy making free money off of NFL football lost, oh, somewhere in the neighborhood of $75 million collectively last night due to Jim Harbaugh's decision to take points off the board and decline a safety (Pizzola's Twitter rantings properly show the seven stages of grief), fantasy owners of the few skill players worth starting Thursday had another source for their ire and/or incessant worry.
More specifically, it's Vernon Davis who's causing hair to change color along with the tree leaves this fall. Davis entered last night as the second-highest fantasy point producer at his position with 55 points through six games, which is behind only Atlanta's Tony Gonzalez using standard ESPN scoring. Yet the Seahawks held him to zero receptions last night, the first time that's happened since 2008.
But they did more, and the extra measure they took to truly stuff Davis is what's petrifying. He didn't even receive a single target.
Before I go further, let's make it abundantly clear that we should all be well aware of two quite obvious facts around Davis' Thursday night shutdown. Led by Brandon Browner, the Seahawks have one of the youngest and most physically imposing secondaries in the league, and after they held Alex Smith to just 140 passing yards, their per game average for yards allowed through the air is at 212.3. Which leads to the second point against Davis and his production: this game was therefore all Frank Gore, all the time, as the running back had 131 yards on just 16 carries, accounting for 48 percent of the 49ers' total offense.
But still, when an elite tight end of Davis' caliber isn't even targeted once and given an opportunity to make a play, there's cause for serious concern regardless of the game circumstances. Even if the Niners were literally playing against a brick wall that was 12-feet tall and stood at the 50-yard line, I would still expect Davis to get a few targets as San Fran attempted to bust through that menacing brick.
Yet there he was, target-less and listless. Point to the simple lack of passing by Smith and the 49ers' offense if you'd like to make yourself feel warm, but you're doing that in blind ignorance of the fact that under Harbaugh the 49ers largely haven't been a passing offense, yet Davis has still produced. Smith attempted 23 passes last night, which is below his season average of 27.1, but not significantly. Blaming just that loss of five attempts — especially from a quarterback who had a very average completion percentage of 60.8 — seems short sighted.
Taking that further, last year Smith's average attempts per game was nearly identical (27.8), and he had three games with 23 or fewer attempts. In those games against St. Louis, Tampa, and Seattle again (with Seattle and St. Louis averaging a combined 213.1 passing yards allowed in 2011) he threw five touchdowns, two of which were to Davis, who had 13 receptions during the three games for 118 yards. That yardage isn't impressive, but that's expected against top tier secondaries. What's important is that Davis was still getting open and was still utilized enough to contribute, two essential, core qualities of any viable fantasy option that were absent last night.
Growing the concern around Davis are the lack of a red-zone looks. The 49ers had four red-zone opportunities last night, two of which resulted in David Akers field goals, and one was killed by Smith's end-zone interception. But on their only successful trip deep into Seattle territory, it was Delanie Walker who was targeted for a 12-yard score. He also plays tight end which is, you know, the same position Davis plays.
Davis didn't really have answers as to why he wasn't looked at while Gore and Michael Crabtree received the bulk of the targets (12 combined). What once worked is simply being shut down, with the opposition keying on San Fran's most threatening receiving option.
From the San Francisco Chronicle:
"Some of the routes I usually run, they are taking them away," Davis said. "The (routes) up the sideline, it's not there. Nothing's there. When I run my corner routes, the cornerback is dropping to the corner. They are just taking stuff away, some of my explosive routes and stuff."
Asked how he could adjust, Davis, who said he wasn't frustrated as long as the 49ers win, was at a loss.
"That's up to the offensive coordinator," he said. "I don't know what to do. I run my routes hard to get open but there's nothing there. We'll see, we'll see."
He's right with that last part, as a multiple-game decline hints strongly at a book on Davis that has been written, and read thoroughly by defenses league wide.
A week ago against the Giants, Davis collected a 24-yard garbage time reception to make his final line look at lot better than what it was headed for, as he had only two catches for 12 yards through three quarters. And while his 106-yard outburst in Week 5 against the Bills looks nice, 30 percent of Davis' 171 yards over the last four weeks came on one catch (a 53 yarder against Buffalo).
Conversely, though, there's great reason to not worry at all. This is what you purchased with Davis: a tight end in a rushing-oriented offense who will get sporadic targets and therefore will also have sporadic production, meaning there will be weeks when he causes you grew pain. Since we play a game where week-to-week results are paramount, the hurt of Davis' valleys is always balanced by the elation of the peaks.

Last week, I was fortunate to attend a press trip to Mountain Trek outside of Nelson in British Columbia, Canada. My accommodations and travel were provided, and I was not compensated for writing this post. It was such an incredible experience, and I'm excited to share my recap, what I learned, and pros + cons below.
From my transition from the mountain bubble and back into the "real world," I've taken a lot of helpful techniques with me. I learned some news cooking skills (hello, crispy ginger chicken!), strategies to help me fall back asleep if I wake up during the night, and got a lot of recipe inspiration, but the biggest benefit of the trip was something that can't really be described. I feel tranquil and calm, and even if little stressors pop up, I can almost see the Alpine trees gently swaying, feel my body gently collapsing onto a large stone to rest after a long hike, and see the open serene lake.
Mountain Trek is an incredible place. Nestled in the heart of West of Kootenay Lake, a cozy lodge gently sparkles. The lodge seems to radiate with healing energy, which may be due to the fact that it's a stone's throw from the local hot springs, a local destination for healing. The Ktunaxa and Sinixt Nations, who first inhibited the land, built a large healing wheel, which is located on the outskirts of the property. Photos are displayed in the lodge dining room to honor and recognize those who established the land, and even though it was thousands of years ago, the connection is eerily similar.
Guests from around the world visit Mountain Trek for a variety of reasons: weight loss, stress management, fitness improvement, or even a luxurious getaway. The group is small (with a maximum of 16 people), and they promote a family-style environment: a cohesive schedule, and all meals are consumed seated around a large dinner table. (Unless you're on a hike, then it's a la Thermos.)
When I first mentioned that I would be visiting Mountain Trek, a few people were wondering why I would visit a weight loss retreat. It's about so much more than weight loss, and can have nothing to do with weight loss if that isn't one of your goals. The purpose of Mountain Trek is ignite a lifestyle change or reset. It removes many of the distractions from the outside world (technology overuse, loud noise/traffic, stress over meals) and enables guests to become centered and focused on their unique goals. During the 7-day adventure, there is a wide array of actives and lectures; you can check out what a sample day looks like in this post.
One of the things I love the most about Mountain Trek is that they emphasize a holistic view of health, focusing on fitness, nutrition, detox and stress management. I feel like they set guests up for success before they leave, whether it's through crafting a unique plan for when they arrive home, or arming them with an entire book of Mountain Trek lecture notes and recipes. I can already tell that my MT book will soon be tattered and smudged as it's used in the kitchen. Mountain Trek provides tools for others to find workouts they love, enjoy delicious healthy food, and live longer, healthier lives, which is exactly what I hope to do. I learned a lot of valuable information while I was there, and put some key points into a list to share.

Financial institutions' lawyers working in Ohio (and their clients) should take note of an important development regarding the law of attorney-client privilege. On December 20, 2012, Governor John Kasich signed into law Amended Substitute House Bill 461, which makes important changes to Ohio's attorney-client privilege statute, R.C. 2317.02(A)(1).
Until recently, Ohio's attorney-client privilege statute stated that the attorney-client privilege would prevent an attorney from testifying in deposition or at trial except "by express consent of the client or, * * * if the client voluntarily testifies, * * * the attorney may be compelled to testify on the same subject." (Emphasis added.) This language gave rise to two, somewhat controversial principles of Ohio privilege law.
First, the Supreme Court of Ohio has held for over 150 years that the statutory privilege is waived whenever a client "voluntarily testifies" – not just when the client voluntarily testifies about the substance of a privileged attorney-client communication. Although few Ohio lawyers were aware of this line of precedent, it had been followed several times in Ohio's appellate courts and as recently as 2008. Second, the Supreme Court of Ohio has held repeatedly that "R.C. 2317.02(A) provides the exclusive means by which privileged communications directly between an attorney and a client can be waived." Thus, the Court has held that the statutory attorney-client privilege would not be waived "even when the client has told a third person what was discussed." Both of these holdings are contrary to common sense and …

Amazing house!
The house is wonderful for a large gathering of people. We had 14 people stay for the weekend and everyone had plenty of room. The outdoor space is where we spent a lot of our time because the owners have made it such an inviting environment from the lawn furniture, beautiful landscaping and the wonderful fire pit. The owners welcomed us with wine and ingredients for smores which was such a lovely way to kick off the weekend. Our group would come back here in a heart beat. Also the inside of the house is well maintained and the living room area is great for a big group to gather indoors. I highly recommend!
Girls weekend
Comfortable and quiet area. Decor was nice. Upstairs bathroom small. Enjoyed the privacy and use of the private beach on lake MI. Never left the kitchen and dining area until it was time to go to bed. The owner was very nice and accommodating to our needs. Easy access to beaches, towns with restaurants, shopping, tubing or kayaking. Decks were spacious. Great place for a group to enjoy.
Wonderful, historic home!
We rented this beautiful and interesting home for out-of-town guests for a funeral and could not have been happier with the home and location and owner! The Pier Cove area on Lake Michigan is very quaint and secluded and the large, adjacent nature preserve and private beach were great to explore and hang out. History, beach, nature, tennis - excellent!

Alexandra Hills is a suburb in Redland City, 20 km east of central Brisbane. The name was proposed by developers Aspley Homes Pty Ltd, possibly inspired by Princess Alexandra, who toured Queensland during State centenary celebrations of 1959.
Situated away from Moreton Bay beaches and the Cleveland railway line, it was one of the later postwar urban areas in Redland when it was a shire. Development of the suburb was spurred by the completion of Finucane Road and began with the Vienna Woods estate (between the Judy Holt reserve and Finucane Road), to the east of the primary school. By 1966 future residential development south of Finucane Road had been mapped out, and by 1969 connections to the town water supply were being made. Despite the late start, by 1976 'Alex Hills' was the fastest growing region in the shire, housing some 5000 people by 1980.
As the population grew, services followed. The Alexandra Hills drive-in shopping centre - the shire's first - was opened in November 1979 by American comedienne Phyllis Diller. By the mid-1980s there were two state primary schools (1975, 1985), a Catholic primary school (1980) and a state high school (1987). A large, modish 'colonial style' hotel to the east along Finucane Road was opened in 1988. A third State primary school was opened in the south of Alexandra Hills in 1991.
In addition to the facilities mentioned, Alexandra Hills has a TAFE, several linear parks along water courses and conservation parks for squirrel and Greater Gliders. The presence of three State primary schools is an indication of the large size of the suburb, which includes space for a sewerage treatment site on its eastern boundary. Alexandra Hills census populations have been:
Census Date | Population |
1981 | 5610 |
1991 | 14,544 |
2001 | 17,256 |
2006 | 16,986 |
2011 | 16,728 |

I've been noticing these tiny bee-type insects in my garden. This one is on a zinnia about the size of a fifty cent piece. The picture is super close-up, so the actual bee is about the size or smaller than a pencil eraser. Just wondering what they are, they are sure busy bees! Elaine |

Today, I'm going to give some monktress advice on wth to do when it's time to give your first n00b talk*. Giving talks may sometimes feel like part of the 13 steps of being dragged to hell, but is necessary for your advancement in the Elder Monk world. You may believe the only people good at giving talks are ones that are natural extroverts- that is a lie. Giving a presentation is an act, and as the fantastical Cary Grant faked being a charming gentlemen until he grew into that person, you too shall fake being a good presenter until you become one.
I am going to presume you know how to properly construct your slides; there are a plethora of websites devoted to such things. If the minions demand it, I might do a mini baby-getting-your-feet-wet version of how to make not sucktastical slides (Ed: dude just read Dr Becca's awesome shizzle here, and Scicurious' epic stuff here). But for now, here are Hermitage the D-List Monktress' basic tips to be an awesome presenter:
Heart in your throat
This is normal, and may never go away. That might not be what you want to hear, but you should embrace the adrenalin as fuel to do your best, and push the nagging thoughts to the background as you take the stage. My heart still goes Ba Thumpa Thump Thump for the first two slides of every talk, but at this point it's like an obnoxious neighbor playing loud music, not that srs. You can also trying various breathing techniques (such as inhale five counts, hold five counts, and release five counts, repeat) to regulate your heart rate.
If you have seen the recent, and fabulous, film The King's Speech you should remember the part where Geoffrey Rush's character is shaking his jaw and warbling with a reluctant Colin Firth. While it looks ridiculous, it is a method of loosening your throat and jaw, which is important to reducing that tinny 'nervous' voice. Since you're probably unwilling to do this while you sit in the front row waiting to be called, we'll settle for your yawning. You can't have a tight throat/jaw while you yawn, and you can look like you've been so busy discussing uber science that you got no sleep last night.
Stand straight
The last thing you want to do is be hunched over while you give a talk. It reduces your ability to project and conveys an idea to the audience that you're nervous. You want your body to be straight and tall- but not stiff as a board, that looks just as bad! Take some time to look at yourself in a mirror and practice a confident stance that doesn't look too rigid, or too sloppy. It will feel unnatural, like you're acting. But that's exactly what giving a presentation is, an act, which you will practice over and over until it becomes a series of checkboxes you subconsciously run through.
Watch your hands
It is not unusual for a speaker to A) Be in a large auditorium with a bajillion people and/or B) Be off to the far side of their projector. Which means, while you may indeed be able to demonstrate the intricacies of fuel combustion with finger puppets, most people won't be able to see it. At best they'll see nothing, at worse they'll see you wildly gesticulating for no apparent reason, distracting them from your slides, transparencies, etc. 90% of your talk your hands should be loosely at your sides, or holding the laser pointer to demonstrate something. This again, is something that feels entirely unnatural but looks calm and copacetic once at the podium. Practice this in the mirror as well.
The audience members are not kittens
So making constant figure eights with your laser pointer is not going to increase their attention span. I have attended too many talks where the speaker's laser pointer bounces all around the ceiling, all over the slides, and into the seating, FSM knows why. There are also people who never turn the laser pointer off, in which case I am in constant fear I'm going to have my retina burned out and am paying no attention to what the speaker is saying. The laser pointer is for EMPHASIS, which means it should be used SPARINGLY. You should NEVER BE HIGHLIGHTING EVERY WORD ON THE SLIDE. Also, if you're extremely nervous, you're probably going to have a shaky hand with the laser pointer, so use both hands to add some control. You may feel silly, but the audience will appreciate your being able to actually circle the formulae or axis you are trying to underline.
Figure 1: There will come the day when the Belly Butterflies will not be man-eating, just evil. Because they're still flies (it says so in the name!), and therefore are not of the Lord
Seriously peeps, I need some linebreak advice because this is getting fucking ridiculous.
Face the audience
It is very tempting to look at your slides for the duration of your talk, you know your slides, they're full of your beautiful data that is safe and alluring, instead of the audience which may be full of scowling faces or people snoring. Ignore the impulse; face your peers because your shit is awesome! A person who has confident body language and is comfortable scanning the audience, making occasional eye contact, is subliminally communicating that they are in charge and that they know their shit. You wouldn't pay to go to a Broadway show where the thespian delivers his lines to the drapes, would you?
Take a breath
It doesn't matter if your jaw starts out loose, if you run through your slides at breakneck pace, never pausing to take a breath, your voice will naturally get more and more nasally because your lungs are running out of air. Always pause and breathe, preferably at the end of each bullet on your slide. When you're about to change slides, take several breaths, even. If this is unmanageable for you, take a drink of water, because it's also important to…
Stay hydrated!
According to your heart rate, you're running a Boston Marathon while giving this talk, so you should hydrate accordingly. At first, it feels like the rudest and strangest thing in the world to stop what you're saying to uncap a water bottle and drink from it. In reality, no one cares. It gives people a break to stop and think about what you said, and if your voice is getting raspy, they're thankful for your stopping to fix the situation. You can also use it as a tool to pace yourself, as I mentioned above. When you need a break between slides, or on a slide, but you don't trust yourself to do it naturally, it's a great time to stop and take a sip of water.
And finally, but most importantly,
Never criticize yourself
Pointing out caveats and draw-backs to the techniques you've chosen is being honest. Talking about why your results 'suck' or this graph is 'not that great' or how this schematic 'doesn't really illustrate' makes you dead in the water. If it's something you can fix, FIX IT. If your schematic is too small, or the graph type isn't the best, or the threshing on the photo isn't correct, take the pride in your talk to correct it before showing it to the audience. When it's go time, own your talk. If you spend your entire presentation talking about how much you suck, I'm sitting there wondering why I wasted my time on you. Don't kill enthusiasm for your data with your low self-esteem.
Fixing these things is NOT EASY, it will take time and PRACTICE to accomplish. I'm self-deprecating and will drive Professor Positive verrückt with all the reasons my data is unworthy to be seen anywhere but dark lighting under the influence of roofies. But when I get in front of a podium, or a poster, I am confident, my data is awesome (not perfect, but awesome), and I am commanding. For some people it's a natural state of being, for others it's like flipping a switch, but either way, the end result is impressive.
Go forth, ye childrens, and blow some minds with your awesome shizzle! N00b and elder monks/monktresses are welcome to add points I forgot. Because y'all know I write this shit on my slurpee break.
* While my advice is mostly oriented towards oral presentations, these rules are just as effective in front of a poster. Since becoming part of n00b academia, every time there's been a poster award to win, I've won it, so I would say these general guidelines are pretty effective.

The Sample: Edward Bess Quad Royale in Monte Carlo (Review, Swatches & Photos)
7 Apr
There are 2 different types of blushes: there's the kind that makes people say "Wow, that blush looks fantastic on you!"–and then there's the kind that makes people say "What are you doing differently? Your skin looks fabulous!". Edward Bess' Quad Royale in Monte Carlo falls in the latter category. These cheek palettes are meant to "sculpt and highlight the face", using "four perfectly paired shades". I find that it definitely adds a certain je ne sais quoi to my complexion. They are not overbearing and will not be the star of the show in the sense that people will know you are wearing it–you'll just look really, really pretty. And isn't that what we all want?
*update: Case in point–after wearing this on my cheeks everyday for about a week, my boyfriend commented that I had been looking "especially pretty lately". This product was the only thing I had added to my daily routine. Score!
By now, most of you have probably heard of Edward Bess. Edward Bess is a relatively small/niche luxury beauty brand that was, for a long time, only available at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. The brand has since branched out to Sephora, leading me to finally giving in and trying the brand. The Quad Royale is my first Edward Bess purchase (but it probably won't be my last). There are three palettes available: #01 South of France, #02 Monte Carlo, and #03 Summer in Capri. Of the 3, Monte Carlo is the warmest and most pigmented. The other 2 are probably more suited to highlighting (that's not to say that they won't work as blush for some), while Monte Carlo is pigmented enough to be used as a blusher–but still sheer and shimmery enough to be used as a highlighter.
The Quad Royales come in a 4 1/2 inch long sleek black compact. This particular kind of packaging does attract fingerprints, so if you're like me and can't stand your makeup to look all manky and gross, this will drive you crazy (not that that'd ever stop me from actually buying it…). There is a button closure that you have to push in order to release the top of the compact. This button is pretty easy to push and release, so carrying this compact in your purse may not be the best idea–as it would only take a gentle nudge for a tragic accident to occur (both for your purse and the lovely product). The packaging is actually almost identical to Bobbi Brown's eyeshadow palettes (think Ultra Nude Eyeshadow Palette)–except hers doesn't have the button closure and feels a little thicker and more substantial than the Edward Bess packaging. Inside, the powder product sits on the left and a handy little brush on the right. The brush is not bad. It's not the best brush I've ever gotten with a cheek product, but it definitely gets the job done (without scratching my face off)–especially on the go. And the size is perfect for applying color right along the cheekbones.
The powder is divided into 4 quadrants (hence the name Quad Royale). Going clockwise from top left, there's a light peachy-champagne color, a pearly golden-peach, medium peachy-pink, and medium peachy-coral. All the variations of peach within this palette contain shimmer–though I almost hate to call it that because it is sooo superfine and subtle. The powder itself is very finely-milled and silky. It applies evenly and blends well–though it is so fine that I just pat it on with my blush brush and don't even feel the need to blend it out at all. The powder is a bit hard and densely-packed (not in a bad way!), so there is not one bit of fallout in the pan when I swipe my brush across the powder.
*Please note: each color has been heavily swatched to show the color–it is much more subtle when applied "normally"
There is a slight overspray on the colors–but once you remove it, the shades still have a shimmery-sheen to them. On the cheeks, the shimmer is nearly imperceptible. It creates more of lustrous finish–no noticeable, pore-enhancing shine whatsoever. I find that between the subtle luminosity and the sheer wash of warm peach, Monte Carlo imparts a fresh, radiant, healthy glow to my cheeks. This product is definitely for anyone that is scared of obvious-looking blushes or applies their blush with a heavy hand. There is almost no way to overdo it with this product. After applying, I am unable to discern where the color ends and my skin starts. This stuff is that good (or bad, if you're a fan of super pigmented blushes).
This stuff is just frickin' awesome and I am so happy that I got it! I am honestly enamored and have not been this in love with a product in a while. The color is admittedly quite sheer–but I knew that going in. Many reviewers on Sephora have lamented on the sheerness of the Quad Royales (especially South of France and Summer in Capri), but I think it's a lovely product–as long as you are aware that this is a sheerer product before purchasing. Otherwise, I can see how one might be disappointed. Darker skintones may have some problems getting this product to show up color-wise–but on my light-medium skin tone, it works beautifully as a blush. It warms the skin and adds color while never looking garish or obvious. Do note though, that you can build the color up–just use a denser brush to pick up more product and layer it on.
I found that this product wore for about 6 hours on my bare skin before the color faded to just a slight hint of color. My cheeks, however, retained their newfound "healthy sheen" for well into the 8 hour mark (in other words, the was still a slight golden sheen to my skin). Definitely not bad for a powder product on my oily skin. I don't think there's much more I can say about this product…it's just so lovely. I guess let me just summarize all this nonsense by saying this: this blush/highlighter is absolutely fantastic, it'll make you look fresh and radiant, buy it. Because you may not realize this yet, but you need this. You're welcome.
Pros: provides subtle highlight and color; won't overpower any look; makes you look glowy and pretty; no fallout; finely-milled; comes with a large mirror and decent brush; shimmer is so refined, it doesn't emphasize pores; long-wearing; extremely easy to blend; flatters both warm and cool tones; long-wearing for my oily skin and will no doubt last much longer on those with dry/normal/combination skin types; easy to layer on for a more vibrant pop of color
Cons: closure is easy to press and may come undone in a purse/bag; packaging attracts fingerprints like a mofo; packaging feels a tiny bit on the flimsier side to me; on the pricier side–but sooo worth it!! (to me, at least). Definitely an indulgence, though.
»»Pricing: $45/0.25 oz. (7 g.)
»»Availability: Sephora, Edward Bess, Bergdorf Goodman, and Neiman Marcus
»»Recommended for: ideally, this product will look best on those with lighter, warmer skin–just because it is so sheer and such a warm peach. As always, that is not to say it won't flatter those with cooler skin tones. Those with darker skin may find that this product will work best as a subtle highlighter
»»Overall Rating: A
So what do you think–will you be checking it out or passing on this one? Be sure to let me know in the comments! And Happy Easter weekend!!

My daughter received two Cricut machines as gifts. A small Personal Electronic Cutter with one cartridge and a regular 24" Cricut Expression machine with two cartridges. She does light amount of crafts and has an upcoming wedding next year. She asked me which machine she should keep - each machine comes with a gift receipt so they are returnable.
Since I know nothing about scrapbook, paper cutting and crafts, I think it is best to get advice from this forum. Thank you in advance for your suggestions. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think if she begins to like it she will want the larger one. If she wants to make something 24" tall she can with the large one and it can be 12" wide or 12" tall either way with the larger one. She can also cut multi times on the large one and put a quantity in. The large one has more functions and since she is doing a wedding she will probably need the larger one. Cartridges can be expensive and she probably got 2 good ones with the larger one. The best place ito buy cartridges right now is Ebay under scrapbooking then cricut cartridges,,,or on a site called customcrops.com. They have good prices. Micheals and Hobby Lobby charge 89.00 per one where these places you can get one as low as 20.00 - 35.00 and they have a really neat wedding one that just came out. Hope this helps you some. |
- Posted by stoneybaloney (My Page) on Thu, Dec 31, 09 at 23:42
Definitely keep the Expression and return the Personal. I can't tell you how many times I see ads in Craig's List for people selling their Personal bug because they've just upgraded. OhMyCrafts is another site where you can get cartridges and supplies at decent prices. (altho I still do buy from Michael's or JoAnn's when they have sales). |

Dried Fruit and Nuts
Eating nuts may save your life, according to the New York Times:
"The more often nuts were consumed, the less likely participants were to die of cancer, heart disease and respiratory disease, and not because nut eaters succumbed to other diseases. Those who ate nuts seven or more times a week were 20 percent less likely to die from 1980 to 2010; even among those who consumed nuts less often than once a week, the death rate was 11 percent lower than for those who did not eat them." NYTimes 12/9/2013
Dried fruit is usually sweeter than fresh fruit. Although they each have the same amount of natural sugars, the volume of the dried fruit is less than that of the fresh fruit so that dried fruits tend to taste sweeter on the tongue bite-for-bite. You can think of dried fruit as "nature's candy", a delicious treat with all the nutrients of fruit! Our dried fruit and nut gift baskets are perfect for snacking any time of the day.
Our dried fruit gifts and baskets are some of our most popular gift items. Less perishable than fresh fruit, most of our dried fruit gifts can be shipped by standard ground service at no cost to our customers. Our dried fruit boxes and baskets can last a long time so that they may be enjoyed over several weeks. Starting at $40 and going up to $110, we offer many options so that you can find just the right size and just the right combination of dried fruit, nuts, and even chocolate for your recipient. We also offer exclusively organic dried fruit gifts, some of which include a selection of organic mixed nuts. Our chocolate-dipped dried fruit gifts in three sizes are a singular treat merging dark chocolate with the natural sweetness of a variety of dried fruit. Or you might prefer to send our dried fruit gift that includes chocolate-dipped dried strawberries and cocoa-dusted almonds. Our assortment of dried fruit and nut gift baskets are designed to offer something for everyone.

By Tom Chiarella
Richard Mosse
In an office in Harlem, the day after I return from Haiti, after he picks my seat, after he makes sure there is water, Bill Clinton, the UN special envoy to Haiti since 2009, draws a deep, yoga breath because it's the end of the day but his day has not yet ended. He looks flat-out dog-tired. He keeps a piece of gum tucked between his molars and his cheek, bouncing his jaw on it once in a while. In his hour-long narrative about the past, present, and future of the country, time and again, the two of us are his rhetorical pair, conjoined in the propositions he draws up for Haiti.
Let's say we were going into the textile business...
Suppose the two of us had some money we wanted to take down to Port-au-Prince...
We should go down there together and take a look...
"You and I are sitting here today because at critical points in our lives, from the time we were quite young, whatever adversity we faced, we knew that there was some predictable, positive consequence that would flow forward if we did the right thing if we studied hard, made good grades, went to college, whatever." Clinton's givens are broad enough to be inarguably illustrative. "Really poor people, people in really poor places, don't have predictably good outcomes for good behaviors. It's a disorienting experience. Poor countries need predictability," he says. "In Haiti, we have to build systems."
Systems. This makes sense. No one in Haiti seems to believe there are any reliable systems, except perhaps cell-phone coverage and mango distribution.
At a UN conference in March, Clinton raised $9 billion from fifty-nine donors. Can that be used quickly enough to provide lasting, constructive improvement of the systems that already exist? Clinton draws a breath, tilts his head, and starts up with the list. The list of what must be rebuilt is weighty and long. Clinton ticks them down, one finger to the next. The federal workforce, never that strong to begin with. Schools not just the ones that collapsed but a system of universal elementary education, which never existed. Infrastructure. Small-business credit.
"Then the health-care system needs to be built. I used to say rebuilt, but then I realized there really wasn't one before," he says. "Now I say built."
He pauses, and at that moment the muffled room demands a grandfather clock, something to emanate a giant tick. Any noise marking the movement of time. "We'll have to rebuild the infrastructure," he says, as if reminding someone at the back of the room. "We'll have to rebuild the agriculture."
Port-au-Prince was still a city of cement rooms, like this one, hanging two flights above the cloud of the street, cement deck barely cured, cinder-block walls, two doorless entries. On my first morning in Port-au-Prince, it was being used for a meeting between an NGO and some men from the Teleco settlement, just across the street. This was the work of the city.
By 10:15 there were twelve men carrying clipboards, fresh from working in the drainage ditches, there to speak with the rep from an NGO called the International Rescue Committee Kate Montgomery, twenty-eight, American, stationed in Haiti for two months now to make their pitch to extend a program called Cash for Work. They came to argue for jobs that paid slightly less than minimum wage and were available to only 315 of the camp's 3,600 citizens, jobs that consisted of climbing into trenches to shovel out soupy, shit-glistening, goop-covered trash. There was a Creole translator and an engineer. As the meeting progressed, more men arrived to show unity, until there were twenty-nine in the room, crammed in the doorways.
The IRC would extend the program for another twenty-four days, Montgomery said, but also reduce the total number of workers from 315 to 180. She insisted on a plan to select new candidates with selection limited to only one worker per family, with a minimum of 40 percent women.
The entire event was like watching a book-selection meeting at a subcommittee of the local library. After, the men retreated to an open terrace, where they huddled up and grumbled through a set of agreements. They wanted a force of 315. Montgomery agreed. Done.
Inroads for women, accountability, respect for process reasonable accomplishments. Something like progress. It just wasn't clear what would happen now what the relationship would be between this room and the camp. I asked one of the men, "Are Haitians used to working in committees?"
The man pffed and shook the sweat from his head. He smiled, jabbed the air, and said, "Only committees with knives."

The Anti-Rams and Fence Sitters revel in these little details and complain that the Pro-Rams won't even consider them. Too often, Wheeler says, it seems that the Pro-Rams just try to start conflict without making a well-reasoned point about the case itself.
Although the Pro-Rams won't be attending Boulder's wingding, several key media figures have been invited to a dinner. One prominent figure, former chief deputy Denver district attorney and current Channel 7 legal-expert-for-hire Craig Silverman, decided to invite himself, Knapp says. She's happy to have him. "It was like, 'Wow! He's already on my list.'"
Who's not on her list? University of Colorado professor Michael Tracy, who made a documentary on the Ramseys that Channel 9 aired earlier this summer and that is slated to run on A&E sometime this fall. Originally, Knapp thought it would be a good idea to ask him, just to stir things up a bit. But the idea was roundly rejected by the online pals she surveyed. "Some felt that he would be a spy for the Ramseys," she says, then adds, "Others think he's not very intelligent. He seems to be very ignorant of a lot of things. I don't know if that's by choice."
The dinner, initially planned for Pasta Jay's, was moved to an undisclosed location for two reasons: First, the number of attendees quickly grew larger than expected. And then some cyber-sleuths had second thoughts about holding their gathering at a restaurant owned by rabid Ramsey supporter Jay Elowsky, who once went after two people he thought were members of the media. "Some people are frightened to be too visual," says Stewart. "I mean, that Pasta Jay guy took after somebody with a baseball bat." Now attendees will be issued passwords to gain access to the dinner.
In addition to meeting over dinner, the armchair detectives can take a sight-seeing tour of Boulder, working off a list of suggested sights compiled by Knapp (see page 20). Of course, there's the former Ramsey home, where JonBenet's body was found. (Knapp is quick to point out that this will not be an organized bus tour and says her group will be respectful of neighbors.) They also plan to visit the Boulder County Jail (current home of minor player J.T. Colfax, arrested last year after he stuffed a burning envelope through the mail slot of the Ramsey home; he also lifted the morgue log sheet listing JonBenet's body), McGuckin Hardware (possible source of the rope used in the garrotte), Boulder County Courthouse, the Boulder Police Department, High Plains Elementary and Access Graphics. A trip to Rollinsville, the hometown of Bill "Santa" McReynolds, is also on the itinerary for those interested in attending.
Perhaps the oddest stop on the tour is the Columbia Cemetery gravesite of Tom Horn, executed in Cheyenne in 1903 for murdering a fourteen-year-old boy. This past July, authorities found a note attached to Horn's grave addressed to Boulder District Attorney Alex Hunter, threatening to damage the grave if the Ramseys were not arrested. The group also wants to pose at the Web cam in front of University Bikes and wave a hello to all the other online buddies who couldn't make the trip.
The cyber-sleuths are also planning their very own whodunit murder mystery game--but one that doesn't involve the facts of the Ramsey case. That would be too tacky. And as a surprise, Knapp plans to have goodie bags waiting for all the attendees. She doesn't want to reveal too much about their contents, but they are certain to contain FBI pens, funny disguises and other stuff any good detective needs.
Each bag will also hold a T-shirt with a message for JonBenet Ramsey's killer, printed in lettering that mimics the ransom note: "Listen Carefully! The Internet Is Watching!

I know, I know, Easter is over. But making root beer in cupcake form is a year-round affair! Or at least, it is now. Plus it's finally kind of warming up, which means I start to crave soda-like beverages even more intensely, and what better way to celebrate spring than with cupcakes? As if you needed more reasons to try this, the cake batter is a mixture of chocolate and root beer. Reminds me of Cracker Barrel's infamous Coca-Cola Cake recipe, which is another combination of my favorite things. Pro tip: the key to creating extra root beer-y cake is root beer extract. If you can't find any, you can substitute it with sassafras extract. You'll use this extract in the butter cream frosting, too, and add cherries on top for optimum root beer float charm!
For the root beer cupcakes, you'll need:
2 2/3 cups flour2 cups sugar1/4 cup cocoa2 teaspoons baking soda1/2 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon root beer extract2/3 cup oil2 teaspoons vinegar2 cups water
Yields 24 cupcakes
In a bowl whisk together the dry ingredients (the first 5 listed above). In another bowl stir together the wet ingredients (the last 4 listed above). Pour the wet ingredients in with the dry and stir until just combined and nearly no lumps remain. This batter will be quite liquid-y. Pour the batter into prepared cupcake pans so that each cup is 2/3 full. Bake at 350°F for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick insert in a cupcake comes out clean.
For the root beer butter cream frosting, grab this:
1 cup (two sticks) softened butter3 teaspoons root beer extract2 1/2 cups powdered sugar1 teaspoon cream (you can use half and half)
Yields 2 1/2 cups
Whip together the softened butter and extract until well combined and almost fluffy. Begin incorporating the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing in between. If you find the frosting gets too thick add a little cream. Pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
Thanks to A Beautiful Mess for this amazing recipe!

[1136] CYP11A1, STAR and SULT1E1 Expression in Ovarian Leydig Cell Tumors.
Jamie L Steinmetz, Rebecca Buell-Gutbrod, Anthony Montag, Katja Gwin. University of Chicago Medical Center, IL
Background: Leydig cell tumor (LCT) of the ovary is a rare sex cord-stromal tumor composed of cells recapitulating normal Leydig cell development, being composed of cells with abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm, distinct cell borders and, in 50% of cases, pathognomonic Reinke crystals. LCTs can have overlapping histologic features with granulosa cell tumors, clear cell carcinomas, vascular tumors or lipid-rich Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCT). Although vimentin and inhibin are commonly used as markers for LCTs, these are non-specific; there are currently no specific and sensitive IHC markers for ovarian LCTs. Based on the steroidogenesis pathway, we identified three potential new LC IHC markers: CYP11A1, STAR and SULT1E1. The aim of our study was to further characterize the expression of these enzymes in ovarian LCTs.
Design: Paraffin embedded material from 3 LCTs was examined by IHC for the expression and localization of CYP11A1, STAR and SULT1E1. Normal testicular tissue, 7 LCT of the testis and 10 Sertoli Leydig cell tumors (SLCT) were used as controls. Staining intensity was scored on a scale of 0-3 with 0 being no staining and 3 being the most intense staining.
Results: All 3 LCTs revealed cytoplasmic staining for SULT1E1 (3=33%, 2=67%, 1=0%, 0=0%), CYP11A1 (3= 67%, 2=0%, 1=33%, 0=0%), and STAR (3 =0%, 2=67%, 1=33%, 0=0%). In the control group, Leydig cells in both testicular LCTs and normal testis revealed cytoplasmic staining for CYP11A1, STAR and SULT1E1. Sertoli cells and germ cells in normal testis and Sertoli cells in SLCT were negative for all three markers. The Leydig cell component of SLCT expressed all three markers.
Conclusions: Our findings support that the three markers CYP11A1, STAR and SULT1E1, components of the biosynthetic pathway of testosterone production, are useful to identify ovarian LCTs and are more specific than the currently used markers inhibin and vimentin. As none of the new markers are expressed in either Sertoli cells or germ cells, this panel can help to distinguish LCTs from other sex cord-stromal tumors as well as from germ cell tumors.

RSA Keynote
Self-help books don't seem to work. Few of the many advantages of modern life seem capable of lifting our collective mood. Wealth - even if you can get it - doesn't lead to happiness. Romance, family life and work often seem to bring stress as much as joy. We can't even agree on what 'happiness' means. So are we engaged in a futile pursuit? Or are we just going about it the wrong way?Renowned Guardian feature writer and author Oliver Burkeman has been investigating the science of happiness. He has consulted with philosophers, experimental psychologists, Buddhists, terrorism experts, New Age dreamers and hard-headed business consultants. They all have a hunch about human psychology: that in our personal lives and the world at large, it's our constant efforts to eliminate the negative - that cause us to feel so anxious, insecure and unhappy.
Could there be an alternative "negative path" to happiness and success that involves embracing the things we spend our lives trying to avoid?

Last Tuesday we applied Ortho Weed Killer (spray attached to the garden hose) on the entire lawn. We wanted to spread seed on the bare spots but weren't sure how long we have to wait. We dont want the weed killer to kill the grass seeds.
Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I can't remember the instructions for every product out there but typically a three week waiting period before seeding is suggested after weed killing products. Read and follow the label instructions carefully. Try to keep your seeded bare spots damp for a few weeks after planting. Fertilize appropriately. Bill Hill |
NJgardener_2007, Do you still have the bottle? Normally, the label will contain that information. I know with a total kill products (meaning it kills all plants, not just weeds) like Roundup (except the long-lasting type) you can normally seed the next day -- even says so on the label. But for Ortho Weed Killer, I'd suggest reading the label. If you don't have the bottle, you can normally find the labels for such products online in the form of a pdf file. |

Thanks for the replies. Yes I did find the bottle and it says to wait a minimum of 3 weeks before seeding. Thats a long time - but will obviously have to wait if i want to see any results from the seeding. Thanks again for the prompt and accurate responses! |
One thing to point out is that when you've waited the three weeks, you'll be into early to mid May. If you plant KBG, it'll be late May to early June by the time the grass comes up, so you'll probably lose a lot of it to the summer heat. You may be able to keep more of it alive if you water enough, but you might be better off waiting to reseed until fall. |

Had recent history played out differently, we'd be writing about how ''Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle'' is kicking into high gear at the box office, ''The Hulk'' is stomping on the competition, and ''Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd'' is laughing all the way to the bank. Alas, given the disappointing performances of these and other major summer movies, we're left without such clever puns... and studio execs are left scratching their heads. Overall, according to Nielsen EDI, the season's total receipts are down 3.4 percent, or $71 million, from last year's record earnings. While ''Finding Nemo,'' ''Bruce Almighty,'' ''X2: X-Men United,'' and ''The Matrix Reloaded'' are smash hits, any celebration is tempered by the vast sums spent producing and marketing them ($100 million used to be the benchmark of a blockbuster; now a film needs to clear $200 million to earn that tag). How can Hollywood break the slump? Here are the lessons so far from 2003's box office summer school.
OPEN BIG, OR DIE Scoff all you want when we call ''Angels''' $38 million opening a letdown, but given the crowded market, it probably needed to open at twice that for Sony suits to sleep easy. ''When you know that there's another blockbuster a week behind you,'' says an exec at a competing studio, ''you want to earn as much as you can as quickly as you can.'' Case in point: ''Hulk,'' which bowed at $62 million only to see sales plummet a monstrous 70 percent in week 2 when viewers' attention moved on to ''Angels'' and the horror sleeper hit ''28 Days Later.'' ''I remember when I would go to the movies and if a film was sold out, that made me want to see it more,'' says DreamWorks marketing chief Terry Press. But now, when so many movies open on multiple screens in the same cineplex, ''everything shows every 10 minutes?there's no problem getting in.'' The excitement that builds for a movie after its release is replaced by the publicity blitz for the next wannabe blockbuster.
''I'LL BE BACK'' IS NOT A GUARANTEE No summer is complete without a glut of sequels; nine have opened since May. But while ''Matrix'' and ''X2'' (remember them?) came charging out of the gate early, recent openers ''Dumb and Dumberer'' and ''Rugrats Go Wild!'' stumbled from the start. Why? ''You better give people a reason to go back to 'Whatever It Is 2,''' says ''Matrix'' exec producer Bruce Berman, who thinks viewers reject sequels that just rehash their predecessors. Seconds Jerry Bruckheimer, producer of ''Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl'' and July 18's ''Bad Boys II'': ''If you make a franchise picture and it's good, audiences are going to be there.'' Sounds simple, but how it bodes for ''Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life'' and ''American Wedding'' is anyone's guess.
TALK TO THE FRIENDS People recommending movies to their pals is still key. It's a big part of what made ''Finding Nemo'' summer's top earner so far (and what will determine the fate of ''Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines''). It's what has put the MINI Cooper caper ''The Italian Job'' and even?dare we say?''Daddy Day Care'' on course for reasonably big paydays, while ''Alex & Emma'' and ''Hollywood Homicide'' fell by the wayside. It's also what less bombastic films like July 25's Oscar-baiting ''Seabiscuit'' hope will lead them to the finish line. ''Audiences are smart,'' says ''Seabiscuit'' producer Frank Marshall. ''They might go along with you that first weekend, but after that it's all about word of mouth.''
IT'S THE QUALITY, STUPID And ''Nemo'' proves it swimmingly. But art-house hits like ''Spellbound'' and ''Whale Rider'' have also drawn on appealing stories and artistic sensibilities to be heard in a season when viewers' ears are ringing from thunderous car chases. ''There's a tremendous demand for [alternative] films,'' says Stephen Gilula, distribution president at Fox Searchlight, home of ''28 Days Later.'' ''There's a very diverse audience in this country and they like all kinds of movies.'' All kinds, sure. But thankfully not ''From Justin to Kelly.''

Police say Kierra Mae Jones, 20, died after she was shot on York Street.
People gathered Wednesday at the site of the shooting, forming a memorial in Jones' honor.
According to police, the shooting happened just before 10 p.m. Tuesday when a car pulled up to 90 York Street and fired multiple shots.
Officers found Jones shot along with Vernell Rose, 21. Both were taken to Strong Memorial Hospital. Jones later died. Rose is listed in stable condition.
During the investigation, police say Priscilla Pollock, 23, was driven by someone from the scene to Strong Hospital. Her injuries are considered non-life threatening.
Chief James Sheppard of the Rochester Police Department says investigators need the community's cooperation.
"I'm pleading for additional information because I do believe that there is information out there that the community can come forward with. We've had a number of arrests over the past several months which people have stepped up and assisted the Rochester Police Department, [and] I'm asking that hopefully that people make that the new trend and that we get that cooperation because anytime you have bullets flying, innocent people can also be victimized."
Sheppard says there will be an increased patrols in the York Street area until additional information is gathered into Tuesday's homicide.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911.

Now that's a band i definitely want to get into as well in the near future... will read the review later in the day.
Digging: Trial (SWE) - Vessel
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffOk, Voivod. Hope you enjoy.
Brian Ferry's voice is so coooooool... I have listened to certain songs in the radio, but not a complete record.
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffHaha, yeah. So many people were inspired by this band and a few probably tried to copy his voice a bit. Guess its testament to the quality.
Album Rating: 3.0Another good one, Tom. I don't rate is as much as you do, but it was very influential. Good to see another Roxy review.
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffCheers, Kaleid, good to hear from you. Listening to this right now, actually. I love 'If There Is Something' - probably my favourite from this album.
This review reminds me I've always wanted to investigate their whole discog. Up to now, 'Out of the Blue' is probably ma favorite song of theirs. Great review.
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffCheers, Jethro42.
Oopsss It looks like I pos'd the other review instead of yours. Fixed!
Superb review written in superb english, have a pos. Btw, are you brit, Tom?
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffThanks Jethro42 and Voivod. Voivod - You must be psychic! I'm from England. Why?
Roxy's portrait couldn't be made much clearer than the scantily clad glamour model posing on the front cover of the album. That's the phrase that "betrayed" you my friend :-) Also your superb english was a good hint. The word "clad" is the archaic English word for "clothed" so... Only a brit could possibly know and use that word. And myself, of course : P : P : P : P because I'm a huge fan of an obscure English metal band called "Skyclad", a synonym word for "naked". :P
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffWow, you've got a fine eye for detail, i have to admit. Where are you from, btw?
I'm from Hellas (aka Greece).
awesome review, awesome band
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffVoivod - Cool, i've never been there, but i know its the opposite of the 24/7 rain i endure here in the UK : ( acorncheese - Thanks, man.
i've only heard for your pleasure and stranded. love them. gotta check this one out.
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Offacorncheese - I really love 'If There Is Something' from this album. It completly changes moods after about 2 minutes, into a rather dramatic, but beautiful melody.
24/7 rain i endure here in the UK As peculiar as it may seem, The 2011 spring in Hellas fits your description aptly. I really don't know if summer is actually coming............. The temperature here is like 10 degrees Celcius and it's FUCKING MAY, for the love of god...... In usual conditions, after work, i was supposed to lie on a beach every afternoon these days.....
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffHaha. "10 degrees Celcius" - that's considered sun cream weather, where i'm from, lol. ; P

Hey, all-- I have been working with my LA on our backyard. I was out there with a tape measure and landscape paint trying to visualize it all. Planning to work in stages, but our modest initial outlay should cover the grading, some large boulders to help define the slope above the bit of curving lawn, and some bigger 8-10' trees and larger shrubs to help address the fact that we are dealing with the immediate problem of a massive building looming over the back. (I didn't realize they are planning for an access road in addition to the berm in the 45 feet they've left themselves... no wonder they want to plant the trees at the base. No room.) There will be very little lawn (my request) and most of the 60'x90' space will be beds with trees and shrubs. Until I can fill those beds, that's a lot of ground to keep covered and weeded. I will start planting groundcovers but it's going to take a while to get to it all. I know Preen is often recommended but I don't want to use it for health reasons. I put cardboard under my mulch last fall but am rather dismayed by the amount of cardboard our fierce winds unearthed. Any suggestions I might be missing? For fun, here is my plant list: layered behind the bit of someday-maybe-flagstone patio: Franklin's Gem boxwood, Twist and Shout Hydrangea, Hoop's blue spruce Autumn Twist Encore azalea, hemlock Cayuga viburnum At the back-- Edith Bogue Southern Magnolia beside my trio of 15' Green Giant arborvitae-- I was hesitant to plant those GG, but they shrugged off the wind and went to town. They were six feet six years ago. For a windbreak in the NW corner-- five Vanderwolf's Limber Pine It will be such a help to have the structure and the big plants in place. Hope everything does well! I've never had any landscaping installed for me before... I feel so grand :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Obviously if you have a personal health issue that would make a pre-emergent problematic I could see not using it. But unless the runoff from the beds goes right into a water source, granular pre-emergents are pretty safe. I designed an estate property's plantings and until everything really started filling in, pre-emergents are the only thing that kept the weeding manageable. I'm NOT a huge "hey let's throw chemicals at it" kind of person but sometimes it's the best solution. Cardboard - I tried it and had no luck. Where it didn't get exposed the weeds just seeded in the mulch above. Honestly the best thing I could think of if pre-emergents are a no-way, no-how, is to plant some sort of a legume/cover crop and till it in when you're ready to plant. If you choose the right cover crop for your area you'll prevent erosion, boost nitrogen in the soil, and out-compete the weeds. |

You aren't going to want to hear this, but lawn. It doesn't have to be perfect, just green and mowed. Easy, idiot-proof, easy to out-source, socially acceptable, prevents the really horrible weeds from getting established - just a long list of good points. Then, as the beds start to fill in, you start losing lawn around the edges. Given the emphasis on weed control, I am assuming you are not in a part of the country that is dry enough to do weed control by withholding water. |
^^ ok, or that. I just explained how to build a car when you just need a skateboard. |

But could a sales tax rescue local transit?
Can you imagine a Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) without its Freeway Flyer routes?
That may materialize in Milwaukee County's 2010 budget if the bus system doesn't get an infusion of cash. "We're at a point where there aren't any easy cuts," said MCTS Managing Director...

.- Spain's Socialist government has proposed a new law that, if approved, would change the definition of "human remains" in order to exclude the remains of aborted babies and thus diminish public pressure over abortion clinics.
Current law in Spain considers the human remains from abortion to be "cadavers," requiring that they be transported in a funeral service vehicle under appropriate conditions to a cemetery for cremation or burial.
The socialist proposal would modify current law to exclude the remains of babies aborted up to the 28th week from the definition of "human remains."
Pro-life organizations have pointed out that advances in science have made it possible for pre-mature babies that are 28 weeks old or even less to survive outside the womb. They point to the recent case of Amillia, born at 22 weeks in the United States.
If the new law is approved, the remains of the unborn babies who are 28 weeks or younger will be considered "trash" or "recyclable".
According to statistics from the Ministry of Health, more than 12,000 abortions take place between the thirteenth and the twenty-ninth week.

If you are new to the Internet, and have recently started your business, it may not have the trust that it should have because it is brand-new. It is difficult to get any level of respect or trust from total strangers – the same is true for businesses. But this is about trust, and if you can be trusted, then you have to do the things that just show people that they can trust you. When dealing with humans, emotions always come into play. This means that the time component may be quite vast. Various people have had many experiences on the Internet, some of them not so good. These are factors you need to consider. People have been burned many times because of these very negative experiences. It is important to communicate with everyone, conveying a sense of trust with everyone that you interact with online. Since these people belong to your market, and are not regular run-of-the-mill individuals, you need to talk to them in a way they understand. You need to have a comment section on your blog for these people. Sadly, people will actually ignore the visitors in their comments section more so than people in the real world. In fact, they may address the blog owner specifically. As long as you engage your visitors in an open and friendly way, this can have a positive impact on what you are doing. We have talked a lot about the great value of relationship marketing.
There has been a strong focus on this simply because it works so well. Marketing via social media and through your list fit in this category. Each of these marketing methods relies on being able to forge good relationships with people. Stick to using common sense elements and you'll find relationship marketing can be very profitable. You'll need to keep some individual platform basics in mind too, depending on which format you're using. Learning those differences is just mechanics, as you're still responsible for the relationship-building side of things. While these things are quite simple to master, too many Internet marketers aren't prepared to work on them. Your content and the quality of it will either work for you or against you. If your audience sees that you are constantly making the effort to give them first class information, then that is huge. Your audience will start to trust that you'll always offer this kind of quality. They need to trust that you always offer solid information or helpful advice with your content. Anytime a person is able to feel they can rely on you is means they trust you. You really don't want to be offering the same kind of rehashed material everyone else offers, do you? Offer unique information that people can't get elsewhere. It's a remarkable feat when you are able to receive a certain level of trust from complete strangers. You need to be responsible and use the skill very wisely. By being responsible, trustworthy and showing goodwill, you will ensure your own success and be here for the long haul. I bet you have been giving your IM business a good shot with Empower Network, or perhaps so far, success has eluded you. That is something I hear all the time. The Empowered Network Group is the place for you to be so you can begin your real education on building trust and proven relationships that work.
