SOLD - Amerigo Pull-Behind Camper - $800 - Beloit, WI
I believe this is a 15' camper not counting the tounge. I have the open title for this, although Wisconsin only requires registration on campers that exceed 3,000 pounds, and this has a tag that puts it right at 3,000 pounds. It could use some tlc, although you could actually camp in it tonight.
I bought this to use for camping, put new carpet in it and some other little things, then got laid-off from work, so i need the cash more than the camping experience!!! It is an "Amerigo" brand, with a stove with an oven that runs on propane, a refrigerator that runs on propane or electric, a sink that works with a hose hook-up, a table that goes down to make a bed, and a sofa sort of sitting bench, that could also be used as a small bed. There is a furnace built into the stve or oven that has a seperate temperature control also. It is made of fiberglass, so it has a sort of timelessness about it, it never really looks old or out of style. It has 2 propane tanks, i think 1 is full and 1 is empty.
I don't know what else to say, so if you have any other questions,
quick response, or email me through here. I want $800, and i'm losing money at that price, but like i said, i lost my job, so "you gotta do-what you gotta do".
Thank You!

We're just over a month into an off-season that follows a 23-43 season, but if the rumours and reports that have emerged over the last few weeks have any shred of truth to them, this summer could be one of the most interesting and active NBA off-seasons Toronto has seen in a long while.
Heck, the Raptors have been linked to Steve Nash and Jeremy Lin already, and we're still three-and-a-half weeks away from the Draft, let alone free agency. However, as most already know, trades can take place between two teams as soon as the teams involved have seen their seasons come to an end.
Which is where this latest Raptors-related rumour gets interesting.
Alex Kennedy of Hoops World wrote the following on Monday afternoon, regarding the possibility of the Grizzlies making Rudy Gay available:
"If Gay does become available this summer, there would be no shortage of teams interested in the 25-year-old. The Golden State Warriors, Toronto Raptors, Brooklyn Nets and Orlando Magic are among the teams who would attempt to trade for Gay, according to sources close to the situation."
Obviously, we shouldn't jump the gun and assume the Raptors are in play for Gay based on one "sources close to the situation" report, but having said that, Kennedy is a reputable NBA reporter whose reports deserve attention and monitoring.
Based on the fact that the Raps have seemingly been linked with every potential free agent/trade target in the NBA in May and early June so far, I think it's safe to assume there will probably be many more reports like these over the next couple of months that involve Toronto. Heck, at this point, NBA inside sources may simply be saying "Raptors" out of the assumption that Bryan Colangelo is going to kick the tires on anything and everything this summer. Who knows?
But I will say this. While an acquisition of Nash has some minor risk because of his age and bidding large on Jeremy Lin has its obvious risks since Lin has yet to prove his staying power, a scenario that lands the Raptors Rudy Gay is awfully hard to find faults with right now from Toronto's perspective.
We're talking about an exciting and explosive player who can be a force on both ends of the floor, a player who is only a tier or two below the game's most elite talents and a player who will still be just 26-years-old when the 2012-2013 season tips off. Yes, he's owed $53 million over the next three seasons, but part of the benefit of creating maximum cap flexibility, as Bryan Colangelo has done of late, is to put yourself in a position where you can take on big money players without it being crippling to your overall situation.
If, indeed, Gay does become available this off-season, then I would hope the Raptors offer up literally anyone on this roster (not including Jonas Valanciunas) that the Grizzlies are interested in, assuming Memphis would be interested in any package the Raptors can piece together.
And if you don't quite understand why I worded the title the way I did, then may I present to you arguably the greatest fan reaction in Raptors history:

I am in the mts. of NC and have a 3 year old smoke tree that needs help. During dry weather it does quite well but when we have an extended wet period it takes a beating. Leaves wilt and turn brown. I hate to see the poor thing not live up to its potential.
I would guess it likes dry feet. My question is; short of digging it up and amending a large area of soil ( I have a sandy clay)is there any other remedy? Perhaps digging around it and adding sand? I don't think it will die but it sure won't have a good life. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hey Don :) A poorly sited tree will not flourish as you wish it to as long as it is in the same spot unless you could dig a drainage ditch away from the tree. You probably want to try to move it this fall after it goes dormant. I am not sure how smoketrees take to transplanting. John |
Thanks for responding John. The tree is an a very generic spot. Top of a small knoll, so drainage is not a problem. Moving location wouldn't help. I could dig it up, amend the soil and replant but thats sounds rather precarious. Might be what have have to do though. |
Well if you have it in a spot with good drainage, I dont think moving it would help much at all |
I have tried and failed to grow this tree (whip sized, sourced from Arbor Day) twice in our red clay soil. Even though we are on a small knoll with acceptable drianage, mine thrive a while, then get wet feet, then die (I assume from root rot). I hope your site turns out to be within the adaptable range of the tree, for they are awesome. I've given up on planting them. :-( |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Thu, May 10, 12 at 11:33
hog.. i would relate your failure to the quality of stock usually sent from arbor day ... OP.. see link about planting in clay.. you should plant high ... to allow a new plant.. time to put its roots where it can cope with whatever is thrown at it ... and that link should discuss why we USUALLY do not amend a planting hole .... this is a nearly indestructible plant ... and i dont understand why a little temporary water would make a difference ... something is missing from the facts presented ... have you ever done a perk test in this area ... how fast will water drain in the wet season??? .. and when is the wet season.. and how does that relate to cold/frost/freeze issues???? [could it be a cold issue instead of a wet issue??]... mine leafs out so late in MI.. that frost/freeze is not an issue.. but if yours is out early.. etc ... and what zone are you.. i dont think NC is z10???? ken |
Here is a link that might be useful: link
Ken, I am in zone 7. The tree was good sized when I bought it, perhaps 2 1/2'. When planted I watered Thoroughly every few days and I would get the wilted and brown leaves. I figured then that it liked it dry so I cut back. Everything leaved out early this year but late April seems to be about right for this tree. We have now had over a week of very wet weather and leaves are brown and it looks unhappy. This summer it will be fine. Our soil is sandy clay and perks well. It should not suffer so much and I believe it should grow faster. After 3 years it is only 3' high. The only thing I can think of would be to dig it up this fall, amend the soil with sand and organic and replant. |

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) - Ukraine's presidency says negotiations with opposition leaders, the European Union and Russia have produced an "agreement to settle the crisis," but released no details.
A statement on the presidency's website says a document will be signed at noon local time (1000 GMT, 5 A.M. EST) Friday.
However, Germany's Foreign Ministry says on Twitter that negotiators had taken a break "to continue talks later on."
Street battles between protesters and police in Kiev have left more than 100 people dead this week, including some shot by snipers Thursday. The Health Ministry says nearly 600 people have been wounded and 369 hospitalized.
A shaky peace reigned in the protest camps in downtown Kiev Friday morning. No visible police forces remained on the square, and volunteers walked freely to the protest camps to donate food and other packages.

Smart Grid
As the world's population continues to grow, the electric utility sector will need to transform how electricity is delivered in order to meet increased energy demands. The current electric grid system will need to be more efficient and be based on better information to insure that the network will operate at a steady high-speed pace which will benefit not only the suppliers and consumers, but the environment as well.
The USCEI is leading an effort to deploy new energy technologies on campus for evaluating the potential to improve the overall efficiency of the current electric grid system. Funded by the Department of Energy (DOE), researchers are working in conjunction with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) to develop new technology protocols for a smart electric grid network. This includes assessing the information needs and opportunities for a larger scale deployment of a smart electric grid.
- Integrate the understanding of the behavioral aspects of electricity use with its impact on current energy information systems in order to create smart grid technologies.
- Demonstrate and evaluate technologies.

Which Buckeye will have the better NFL career (we know, it's like asking you which one of your kids you like best)?
While I do have a huge man-crush on Simon and wish him the best, Hankins has the physical attributes (mainly size) that will help him succeed in the NFL.
"There are some people addicted to alcohol, some people are addicted to gambling," Luginbill said. "Urban Meyer is addicted to football, and he's addicted to winning."
Due to his hybrid size, Simon will need that perfect situation(i.e. The Patriots or Packers) to have longevity in the NFL. I see him playing somewhere, most likely special teams/backup and then getting out still healthy to start his own fitness company and/or come back to TOSU as the strength & conditioning coach. I wish him much success in whatever endeavor he chooses. He is a true warrior !
" I hope when I die, I die laughing"...
That's about what I think. I voted for Hankins because it's simply easier to project where he fits in your basic NFL defense. There's also the issue of health--Simon already has a few nicks. Simon will have a role somewhere, though.
The most "loud mouth, disrespect" poster on 11W.
Exactly. I voted Hankins, but would have taken a "depends on who drafts them" option had it been there.
Went with Hank but wouldn't rule out Simon because of his work ethic.
"It's just another case of there you are". ~ Doc (1918-2012)
Love em both. Voted Simon though. I think Simon could potentially have a great career due to sheer drive coupled with being the hardest working man in the world....Then again, Hankins is just plain good & gifted. Tough call. In the end, I hope they both have brilliant careers.
"Do not pass me, just slow down - I can move right through you" Superchunk - Precision Auto.
I voted Simon because I envision he could attain success the same way J.J. Watt did... Big Ten toughness and people overlooking his work ethic.
They are doing the same for Hankins though. I know Simon's work ethic was the stuff of legend but Hankins shed a ton of weight and got better each and every season since he set foot on campus.
JJ Watt is also a freak of nature that John Simon simply isn't. I'm not going to set off a Simon debate here as that horse has been beaten mercilessly but Watt was a high round pick because of a freakish, seldom seen combination of size and speed Simon frankly lacks.
I think Hankins has a solid, if not spectacular career as a three down defensive lineman and I think Simon lands somewhere and earns NFL money for the better part of 7 or 8 seasons. Simon will be an NFL football player and someone can certainly get a TON of value on him later on in the draft. Both should have nice careers in relation to their physical skills.
Do I come off as arrogant? Shame on me, I was hoping it would be more obvious.
Yeah tough decision but I'm confident Simon will kick ass in the NFL

I was sent 2 great books from Tommy Nelson this month. The first one is called "I Love You To God and Back". This little book is such a sweet bedtime prayer book to read to your little ones. I often tell my children, "I love you to the moon and back." So I loved the title of this book when I first saw it. This book has the sweetest illustrations all throughout it. It is a precious way to end a long day with your little blessings.
Children's Favorite Bible Stories is a great book offered by Tommy Nelson. We love to have read aloud time in our house, and this book is a great supplement to our book list. Each story from the Bible in this book is has a great illustration and gives the scripture reference to go along with the story.
This is a hard back book that comes with a ribbon bookmark to keep your place. This book is laid out in an easy to read format, and includes a prayer. Another great thing about this books is the 'going deeper' section. This section makes your little ones think deeper on the story they have just read.
Children's Favorite Bible Stories offers your family an easy to read way of learning the Bible together. What's even better? Tommy Nelson is offering my readers a chance to win one. This would make a great addition to your home library.

Once A Marine
Carl | September 17, 2012
Once an old Marine was walking
Down life's long and winding road
When on the trail before him, A mighty cloud arose.
It was Terror, Wrath and Genocide
Out to make their rounds,
Tearing up the countryside
And pillaging the grounds.
Then they checked up toe to toe
With the lone Marine.
They said "You're looking weary, Boy,
And just a little lean.
You know we're in hurry,
So you'd better step aside,
And if you know what's good for you
You'll find a place to hide."
Well, the old salt never uttered a solitary word,
But slowly drew his K-Bar
As he mustered up the nerve.
Then he said, "You aint passing here -
Not while Im on watch.
But if your feeling lucky,
Lets crank this up another notch."
And when it all was over
The carnage was a sight;
Seems Terror, Wrath and Genocide
Had lost the will to fight.
So dont you be discouraged
And dont give in to fright
"Cause there's "Always a Marine" watching
And ready for the fight.

By building a multipronged attack against codling moth larvae into a single sprayable, biodegradable package, researchers hope to create a more cost-effective control.
The concept would replace cardboard traps now banded around tree trunks with a cellulose-based foam that offers similarly attractive pockets to larvae seeking protected refuges for their cocoons.
Applying foam with a sprayer cuts labor costs significantly compared with wrapping cardboard for each moth generation by hand around individual trunks, says Peter Landolt, research leader at the U.S. Agriculture Department's Agricultural Research Service in Wapato, Wash.
The foam should last through the season but then begin to break down and wash away, Landolt says.
But labor savings are only one advantage over cardboard bands. Foam also provides a moist environment needed by entomopathogenic nematodes that attack and kill codling moth larvae, says Lerry Lacey, research entomologist at the Wapato station.
Other tactics the researchers are investigating include impregnating the foam with low doses of a pyrethroid pesticide and an aggregating pheromone that lures larvae into what has become a "death strip," Landolt says.
Hardware store provided inspiration
Sprayable insulating foam from the hardware store triggered the idea. Easy to apply, it expands on contact and creates the desired air spaces. The problem, Landolt says, is "it's indestructible. It's designed to last hundreds of years."
He and Lacey teamed up with Greg Glenn, lead scientist at ARS' Albany, Calif., Bioproduct Chemistry and Engineering Research Unit, to develop a formulation better suited to orchard needs.
To host nematodes without harming them, the foam needs to be moist—but it also must be stable enough not to collapse. At the same time, it must be inexpensive and biodegradable.
"It's kind of a tall order," Glenn says.
Pulp fiber from the paper industry in a water-based slurry is the main ingredient, mixed with stabilizers, sawdust for added substance and an industrial foaming material.
Finding the right applicator turned into another challenge, he says. Too much shear as the material sprays from the nozzle can break the bubble structure.
Cost is critical to attract a wider market, Landolt says.
For organic growers, the cardboard bands now in use are a significant control method, so replacing them with a sprayable foam should produce more cost-effective results.
Adding in organic-friendly nematodes makes it even more attractive, he says.

Mexico Police chief killed with rifle from Obama/Holder Fast & Furious
Luis Lucio Rosales Astorga was a Mexican police chief. He was killed in Jalisco from an Obama/Eric Holder Fast and Furious weapon. With all the talk about 'scandals' surrounding the Obama regime, one scandal that the media continues to ignore is Fast and Furious. You remember Fast and Furious don't you? That was Obama and Eric Holder's gun running program to Mexico that has lead to the death of at least two Americans and hundreds of Mexicans? As Jay Carney said, Fast and Furious was 'a long time ago' and the media lapdog have ignored it since. Aside from Sharyl Attkisson, the media has ignored this scandal even when the news of Brian Terry's death was made public. With the 'news' of Luis Lucio Rosales Astorga's death from an Obama/Holder Fast and Furious weapon being dumped on the a Friday after the July 4th holiday, the media can ignore this too and no one will know of it.

Sharyl Attkisson – bizarre things happened to computer during work on Benghazi, Fast & Furious
Sharyl Attkisson is a rarity. An actual journalist who investigates things like Fast and Furious and Benghazi. I can't think of any reporter outside of Fox News who can claim the same thing. Bizarre things starting happening on Sharyl Attkisson's computer during work on Benghazi, Fast & Furious, an amazing coincidence. The computer would turn on and shut off on it's own, among other odd behavior. Attkisson couldn't say if she thought the hacking of her work computer had anything to do with Fast and Furious and Benghazi investigations because of "legal counsel." It's a lot like James Rosen has hasn't been able to say much because he has obtained legal counsel as well.
Remember when Eric Holder lied under oath to Congress about Fast and Furious?
The James Rosen/Fox News scandal in which Eric Holder lied under oath to Congress isn't the only time the corrupt AG has lied under oath to Congress. Back in 2011, Eric Holder lied under oath to Congress during testimony about Fast and Furious. Back in May 2011, the corrupt Attorney General Eric Holder claimed that he "could not recall" the exact date of when he heard about the Fast and Furious scandal. Holder then said he "probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks." The being sometime in April in 2011. However, according to documents that were later discovered, Eric Holder was sent briefings on the scandal Fast and Furious operation as far back as July 2010. This totally contradicts his statements to Congress. Of course the media didn't pay any attention to his perjury then either.

Fox News' William La Jeunesse & producer Mike Levine also spied on by DOJ
Fox News reporter William La Jeunesse & producer Mike Levine join James Rosen as being spied on by the Obama/Eric Holder 'Department of Justice.' The new word that seems to be the favorite to describe the spying is 'chilling.' I don't find it chilling. I find it downright corrupt, criminal and borderline treasonous. William La Jeunesse and Mike Levine were spied on over Fast and Furious.
Don't expect the rest of the media to be outraged over this like they were over the AP spying.

ABC, CBS & CNN top executives all have siblings or spouses working directly for Obama
Well this explains the media's Benghazi cover-up and the tongue baths for Obama on a daily basis. Turns out that ABC, CBS and CNN all have top executives that just so happen to have siblings or spouses who work directly for Obama in his corrupt regime. Want to know why Fast and Furious was blown off? Want to know why Michelle Obama's secret hospital visit to Saudi National Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi was never reported? Now we know. The only network missing from this list is NBC. They of course were owned by GE when Obama first became president, and Obama has cozyed up to GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt. He still sits on Obama's board of advisers today. Even though Comcast bought a majority stake in NBC/Universal, GE still owns a significant minority share in the propaganda network.

Obama blames America for violence in Mexico for lust of guns and drugs
Obama kicked off his first apology tour of 2013 by bashing America in Mexico. He blamed Mexico's violence on America's 'lust' for drugs and guns. This is a bit ironic considering Obama bragged about doing a little blow in high school. It's also funny because he was a part of the famous 'choomgang.' So is Obama's lust for the drugs the cause of Mexico's violence? Obama of course failed to mention Operation Fast and Furious that smuggled guns into Mexico and were given to drug cartels. Hundreds of Mexicans have died as a result of Operation Fast and Furious, yet the coward Obama didn't make one mention of this.

Ted Nugent owns CNN hack Erin Burnett – says Eric Holder should be arrested (Video)
I loved this. Erin Burnett has been a ratings disaster for CNN. She's also an ideological leftist hack who like the rest of the CNN hacks is trying to push their anti 2nd Amendment agenda. Ted Nugent wasn't having any of that, and totally verbally bitchslapped Erin Burnett, asking her if she wants to stop gun trafficking. Burnett, caught off guard answers yes, and then Nugent asks Burnett if she will support Nugent's recommendation of arresting Eric Holder.

Washington Post fail! Print revenue down 12%, circulation down almost 9%
Some things just bring a big smile to my face. When I see leftist, Obama drool cup carrying media continue to circle the toilet like the Washington Post, I know there is at least some sanity left in the world. The Washington Post is one of the main Obama drool cup media carriers who distorts the truth and ignores stories like Fast and Furious and Benghazi to protect their Messiah Obama. Too bad for them that print revenue down 12% and circulation dropped almost 9% in the fourth quarter.

Technique Thursday: Recipe & 5 Tips for a Great Fruit Salad
The crimes of fruit salad are many: not ripe, over ripe, tart, bitter, warm, rotten ... Because of these transgressions fruit salad has become the "Fruit Cake" of summer barbecues - a popular dish that only the brave eat. This week I made a Himalayan inspired Fruit Salad (just mango, red banana, and papaya) for our Bhutanese Global Table.

About the food of Bhutan
The rugged mountain-country of Bhutan is nestled in the Himalayas, between India and China. This largely vegetarian country is known for eating chili peppers (called ema) and rice in abundance. Just reading about their food made me break into a sweat. They actually treat the chili pepper as a vegetable, instead of a minor spice component to a larger dish. In other words, in many cases, the chili pepper is the meal. To a Bhutanese, however, ema (chilli) enjoys an exalted culinary … [Read more...]

Could it be that the real injustice that has Calhoun so worked up is the fact that her face does not appear on the Palm wall?
Get over it...and get a real job, why don't you?
Libby Frost
Welcome to Denver, where the lawyers and developers carve up the town like a juicy steak--and the citizens get the bill. The Palm is just more of the same. How about this menu item: Roy Romer appoints son Chris to the stadium board--as Calhoun pointed out. But keep going: Chris Romer is working to elect Tom Strickland to the Senate; Strickland is a partner in the Brownstein, Hyatt, Farber & Strickland law firm that lobbied to get the stadium bill through the legislature; and both Norm Brownstein and Steve Farber are on the wall.

Universalist Truths
Just a quick correction of Michelle Dally Johnston's July 11 piece, "The Education of Craig Livingstone," in which she reports that a certain Colorado politico once was accused of being a "member of the Universalist Church--essentially a 'Moonie.'" It may seem a small thing, but there's a world of difference between a Universalist and a Moonie, or member of the Unification Church.
The Unification Church was founded in Seoul in 1954 by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon (hence "Moonie"). And, depending upon whom you ask, it's either a worldwide movement to realize a world of freedom, peace, unification and happiness centered on true love or a deceptive, manipulative cult run by a power-hungry demagogue and self-professed messiah.
By contrast, the seeds of Universalism were sown around 225 AD when certain bright lights began to argue that there was no hell and talked of a benevolent God who offered salvation to all people. For their trouble, early Universalists were burned as heretics. The first organized Universalist Church in America was founded in 1779 in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Two hundred or so years later, the Universalist Church merged with the Unitarian Church, whose founders argued for the unity of God, rather than the Trinity of God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
All the Unitarian/Universalists I know are non-dogmatic, socially conscious, compassionate, humanistic, tolerant folks. They're very sweet people, really. Not a demagogue among them.
No offense intended (I'm sure), and none taken.

Thunder on the Right
Two letters in the July 11 issue had a similar underlying message: Don't worry about people in the extreme right. They are disorganized and scattered, with no central leadership. They have widely differing views and ideas, and while some are dangerous, some are not. Some want to re-establish the country the way it was in a Golden Age that used to exist--or so they imagine.
Unfortunately, the situation bears strong resemblances to the early stages of the decline and fall of the Weimar Republic. If I were to assert that our situation now resembles that of 1932, the eve of Hitler's accession to power, that would be ridiculous, and I would be rightly derided as an alarmist. But the parallels to 1922 or 1923, let us say, are unmistakable. The Munich "Beer Hall Putsch" was quite humorous in its own way, just as funny as the Freemen, every bit as amateurish as the Viper Militia. The principal need of the far right now is for a fYhrer. So far, the closest they have been able to come is Pat Buchanan, and he falls far short of what they require.
The extreme right will, of course, deny all responsibility for and connection with any acts of terrorism that, like Oklahoma City, outrage ordinary Americans. They will issue these denials when they have no connection and/or responsibility, as well they should. But they will issue exactly the same denials when they do have connection and/or responsibility. For them, the sole ethical question is whether or not the contemplated action furthers their attainment of power. If it does, to them it is good. If it does not, to them it is bad. All subsidiary questions are questions of tactics only.
Hitler did not come to power because the Weimar Republic acted strongly against him and drove the Nazis to violence. He came to power because it was weak and did not crush the Nazis when it could have. The emasculation of this year's anti-terrorism bill shows that, so far, we are walking down the same road. But we still have many years before us, if we use them.

Roger, Over and Out
Thank you for Joshua Green's July 4 article on Postman Roger, "Please, Mr. Postman." It has been refreshing to see more coverage in Westword of reggae in Colorado, and it's especially gratifying to read about one of the personalities who has been instrumental in making the Colorado reggae scene what it is today.
Lynn Daniels
The Ska's the Limit
In the July 11 issue, Kathryn Harris, member of local reggae band the Healers, wrote to complain to Westword (and, specifically, Michael Roberts) over the lack of coverage for reggae music. While her letter was written with all the grace and pettiness of a junior high student (and, therefore, I'm not sure really merited a response or, for that matter, even to be published), in his reply Michael Roberts made the statement "Westword's ongoing coverage of reggae...is arguably the most extensive of any publication of our type in the nation." Now, where the fuck is that noise coming from?

WWWW Google
What's cool on the internet right now? Misspelling, that's what. There are many examples, wwww google being one of them. What's more amazing (than the fact that maybe we're just a whole bunch of illiterates!) is the reality that the one I've used really is one of many, that and the way in which the search engines work.
Most people type something into google search, hit enter and the search engine returns a close match (usually) that's good enough for the user. Now I don't know whether you're aware but any search engine is a whole lot more than what you can see on the surface. Let's take good old google as the example, see below:
Ok so you can see that I've used the misspelling wwww google. What you can see is the user-interface, the front view of the search facility. What you can't see is what's behind it, which will look something like this:
The above is taken from the page source, and it's not the actual algorithm that powers the search results. If anything the algorithm would be too big (and complex) to display on a single screen capture. For those that don't know, an algorithm is the single most effective method of perform a calculation a specific end result. In other words (to most of us!) super-math!
This is one of the many reasons why I love the internet, how it works, what it does and what it can provide. It doesn't matter what you're looking for, or even where you are situated, so long as you've got an internet connection you can buy/find/learn/view a multitude of cool and useful stuff.
Interestingly, there's a whole list of commonly misspelled words that, despite given the search engine a momentary problem, will still result in the best possible match for what it is you're looking for:
- www
- wwwww google
- ww google
- world wide web wiz google (not a misspelling, more of a strange one!)
- w google
- ww google comwww
- wwe google
- ww google com
- and so on
The above isn't a definitive list, if it were I'd be compiling and writing for several days. However it's an example of what regularly turns up when folks are searching for:
For those that need a little help once they've typed in wwww google or whatever else they're searching the world wide web for, here's an easy to follow mini-tutorial that shows you how to use the Google homepage – once you've found it!
Hopefully you'll be a bit more knowledgeable now, as well as realize that when you type a misspelled word into Google, you're not alone and at least you'll know that the search engine is designed to (still) work out/understand what it is you're looking for.
As a long-time internet user, I'm as proficient as it gets when it comes to using the web as a source of information. However I am perfectly aware that just because we live in an age that's supported by an array of awesome technology (both online and off), this doesn't mean that we're all completely comfortable with it.
So, the very next time that you do type wwww google or some other commonly misppeled search query, don't worry. You're in good company … my mom can't even switch a computer on, and she's far from lacking in the brains department.
Like many thousands (maybe millions!) of people around the world, she's so far escaped the need (or desire, so she tells me!) to use the internet in any way, shape of form!

Hi there! Welcome to Sugar Plum, a blog I created a few years ago to share my recipe creations with the world. I also enjoy sharing food finds, savory cooking, traveling adventures, my cat, beauty finds and other random things. My name is Emily. I love sweets. I can't think of a dessert I would turn down. I bake something almost every single day. I live in St. Louis, Missouri with my boyfriend, Eric, and I'm currently a flight attendant, satisfying some of my wanderlust.
I graduated from the French Pastry School in December, 2012. I love creating and writing recipes, and have won quite a few recipe contests doing so. I've been featured on Food Network (twice), Cooking Channel, and several nationally published magazines and cookbooks. I would like to work in a test kitchen for a food company or publication as a recipe developer or food stylist. I'd also like to branch out into freelance recipe development. Someday I want to write a cookbook. And of course, I want to continue writing this blog for you!
Thank you for visiting my blog! I appreciate it more than you know.
Email me at sugarplumblog (at) yahoo (dot) com if you have any questions or concerns.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Why did you start this blog?
-Two years ago I was baking frequently for friends and family, for holidays and events, and cooking contests. I had all of these recipe in my head, and I needed to write them down somewhere. Not only did I have recipes churning in my head, but thoughts on life. I had been reading several food blogs at that time, and the writers inspired me to start my own. I hope I've inspired others to do the same.
What do you do with all of the things you bake?
-I always eat them, of course. I give away the desserts Eric (he brings them to work), family and friends. I do keep some around the house, but sadly throw them away a lot of the time because Eric and I can't eat them all.
Would you like to review our company's product?
-If it's something relevant to my blog that I'm interested in, then I will review a product. Email me at sugarplumblog (at) yahoo (dot) com.
Could you develop recipes using our company's product?
-Of course! Email me (see above) and we'll discuss!
Do you have any photography tips?
-Yes I do!
Do you have any blogging tips?
-Oh do I! Here they are!
How are you able to develop recipes without looking at cookbooks?
-I think after following recipes from cookbooks for so many years, I just sort of developed an eye for it. I know just about how much flour, leavening, sugar, etc. that goes into certain baked goods - cookies, cakes, brownies, pies. I don't have an exact system or anything, though. I'm sure there's got to be some sort of system that exists. I say 90% of the time my desserts turn out, but there definitely are some times when they don't. I'm not afraid to experiment with my recipes and baking. I know this is awful, but a lot of the time I taste the raw batter to make sure the flavors are right.
Can I use your photos and recipes on my site?
-Of course! But please give me credit for it by linking back to me.

Sleeping sickness is infection with germs carried by certain flies. It results in swelling of the brain.
Human African trypanosomiasis
Sleeping sickness is caused by two germs (protozoa), and . The more severe form of the illness is caused by .
Tsetse flies carry the infection. When an infected fly bites you, the infection spreads through your blood.
Risk factors include living in parts of Africa where the disease is found and being bitten by tsetse flies. The disease does not occur in the United States. But travelers who have visited or lived in Africa can have the infection.
General symptoms include:
A physical exam may show signs of inflammation of the brain and its covering, the meninges (meningoencephalitis).
Tests include the following:
Most antibody and antigen tests are not helpful because they cannot tell the difference between current and past infection. Specific IgM levels in the cerebrospinal fluid may be more helpful.
Medicines used to treat this disorder include:
Without treatment, death can occur within 6 months from cardiac failure or from infection itself. infection causes the classic sleeping sickness disease and gets worse more quickly, often over a few weeks. Either disease needs to be treated immediately.
Complications include:
See your health care provider right away if you have symptoms. It is important to begin treatment as soon as possible.
Pentamidine injections protect against But not against . Because this medicine is toxic, using it for prevention is not recommended.
Insect control measures can help prevent the spread of sleeping sickness in high-risk areas.

We would need so many fewer behavior contracts and IEPs for Behavior Support if all school staff had training to help the students with social and emotional issues. We in education truly care for the kids and these are valuable tools to help them grow.
I am curious why Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS) is not listed as evidence based.
Katy, Thanks for the suggestion. When this review was originally published, we were not aware of the 2012 meta-analysis that summarizes peer-reviewed studies in support of PBIS. Thanks for helping us to keep our recommendations current! We always love to hear about your experiences with SEL programs as well. Cheers, Vanessa
Hello Vanessa! I hope the following link will assist you in updating the site.
There is so much more to PBIS than what is in the description. Here is a link to research regarding PBIS. It includes references to research evidence for practices at all three levels of support including core, supplemental and intensive levels of support:
All the best,
Hi Katy, Thanks for the link, which will certainly be useful to educators seeking to learn more about PBIS. I agree that there is much more to SWPBS than what we can hilight in this abbreviated context, which is intended to direct educators who are short on time to the most vetted practices. An interesting point made by Solomon et al. (2012), in their careful, independent analysis of 20 studies over the past 16 years is that there is not enough peer-reviewed research on the secondary and tertiary interventions of SWPBS (i.e. in the context of Response to Intervention) to say whether or not these practices are effective, even though SWPBS is often used with RTI. According to their analysis, at this time, there is only enough evidence to support the school-wide, or "tier-1," intervention that affects all students. This does not mean that secondary, and/or tertiary-level applications of SWPBS don't work, it just means that we don't know yet because there hasn't been enough research to provide a fair test of the question. Hope this helps to clarify, and thank you for your followup! Vanessa
PBIS is listed
Why isn't PATHS listed? It's the program my kids' school uses and was used by their preschool. There's nothing better than being able to tell a child to "do turtle." Here's their listing of awards and research: http://www.channing-bete.com/prevention-programs/paths/results-recogniti...
Hi Michael, Thank you so much for sharing your own positive experiences with the program! We did review the PATHS program and while the research support is promising, much of the research on PATHS is done by the developers of the program. This particular set of recommendations is limited to programs that have received support from at least three studies by independent evaluators and/or peer-reviewed publications, using controlled experimental designs and independent outcome measures. PATHS is on our radar, so we'll check on it regularly if any new research emerges.
It looks like the link to the Second Step Brain Builder games is outdated. Here's a path to a fantastic article that sums up that feature of the Second Step program:
Thank you!

Quoted from Goldie today I use 5 HTP to stimulate my liver to 'balance' some hormones.. it might be a cheap over the counter thing, needed as much as you think is needed.. short or long term..
Quoted from nowishow This is who I use for testinghttp://virginiahopkinstestkits.com/salivatest.html
Quoted Text "I used it for about six months, and tried a few brands. I don't have money for doctors so I self-treat everything, for better or for worse. The NOW brand was AWFUL--it smelled like dirt and gave me migraines. The Progestacare and Progestelle brands worked great and seemed to alleviate a lot of my perimenopausal and estrogen-dominance symptoms. Progestelle has a good web site with lots of info, but they don't organize the info very well so it can be confusing." http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/.....t9595887
Quoted from Symbi Just found one that said it has just progesterone and coconut oil and info that it is supposedly good for adenomyosis (which I just got diagnosed with through ultrasound and am waiting to see a gynae about). However, coconut oil is an avoid on my SWAMI. Read some info that coconut oil can help clear oestrogen, even so think I'll skip that one!
Quoted Text Can I buy my cream overseas without a script?Yes, providing it's only a 3-month supply, and it's for personal use only. Otherwise, you'll require a doctor's prescription. Australian Customs may intercept your package, check to ensure you hold a current prescription, and if you do not, instigate legal action. Many women have reported that their packaging was opened and inspected by Customs. So be warned. If you intend to source your cream from overseas, we recommend you obtain a prescription. And please be aware, the law only permits importation for personal use (this includes family members only). You are NOT permitted to distribute cream to others.Again, the above specifications DO NOT apply to the USA and other countries where no such drug laws imposed on progesterone exist. http://www.natural-progesterone-advisory-network.com/drug-laws-in-various-countries/
