One Frantic Paris Photowalk
When I only had an afternoon in Paris, I went on an urban photowalk and shot what I saw like a madman. And I was surprised at what was caught on film!

went out to the garden yesterday and saw that my green watermelons are turning a bright yellow. Are the sunburned? There aren't many vines around them. Is this bad? Should I cover them :( Thanks for any info |

What did you plant? There a few cultivars which turn yellow when ripe. Royal Golden, Golden Crown, Golden Midget, Yellow Lucky, Dianna, Funbell. Sunscald will be a spot not the whole melon turning. If you don't have a pumpkin rind type and the whole melon is turning yellow , you have a problem. |
Farmerdilla, I have never grown watermelons before and I was so excited about having a in ground garden this year while I was at lowe's at just picked up a 12 pk and didn't even think about what kind they were. They were green with light yellow strips now the are turning yellow. I will pick one tonight to see. I will let you know what happened, I thought they might be sunburned because of the 100 degrees days we had. |
farmerdilla, I cut one open last night and it was ripe almost to the point of over ripe, tasted good though. They were only about 2 lbs, maybe I got them mixed up with the ones that are suppose to get to 20 lbs I grew from seed. I have alot to learn, lol, I picked 4 of them last night, so everyone in my office gets a personal watermelon. |
its a sign that they are getting ripe or you are about to harvest |

I just recently purchased a Bluestar range and discovered that my farberware stainless cookware just doesn't make the grade on this range. Can anyone recommend a good set of basic cookware to use? I've been looking at the All Clad and the Emerilware All Clad, does anyone have any experience with these? Thanks so much!! |

The subject of cookware sets has been posted about a lot on this forum, the Cooking forum and the Kitchens forum. Bluestar or not, it is essential to have appropriate cookware. The general consensus is do NOT get a set of cookware, unless you absolutely feel you need the convenience and timesaving of just doing everything at once. The problems with sets are that they contain pots/pans in the set you don't need, are missing pots/pans that would be key to have, use up a lot of cabinet storage for the ones you don't need, and some pots/pans are perfect at the low-end of price (e.g. nonstick fry pan, you should have one or two and they should be cheap since all nonstick will chip after 1-3 years even the most expensive), while some you should spend top dollar for (e.g. Le Creuset dutch oven, a stainless steel fry pan or saute pan, a 4-qt. saucepan). As to All-Clad, they are great pots and pans. But some people (including me) find the handles uncomfortable, so you should check that out in a store. Also, All-Clad is very expensive, and some of that cost is just due to the marketing and advertising and name cache. I myself have one All-Clad frypan and one All-Clad saucepan, but I wouldn't buy any more, as I think there are alternatives (e.g. Cuisinart or Tramontina for a tall stock pot, Calphalon for a roasting pan, Demeyere for a saute pan and saucepan). You can do a search on this forum for "cookware set" and come up with a bunch of threads. I will link a thread from the Kitchens Forum to get you started. |

Thanks! I'll check those out. |

I also have a new Bluestar and was in the market for some new cookware. I'd really recommend taking a look at Tramontina's clad cookware. I had bought a few pieces of All-Clad and it's great, but then I found a 2 quart Tramontina saucepan at Walmart one day and bought it because it was reasonable enough to take a chance , and I was blown away. Virtually identical to all clad in form and function and a lot less expensive. I was able to purchase additional pieces of Tramontina through Walmart online and I love them all. I have a couple of All Clad and Tramontina pieces in the same size (like the 4 quart saucepan) and I will say that I do reach for the Tramontina first because of the handles. I don't despise the All Clad handles, but Tramontina's are a bit more comfortable for me. Just make sure if you go for the Tramontina that it's their tri-ply line. Good luck and enjoy your Bluestar; I love mine! |

I just returned from Walmart, Macy's & Sur La Table and checked out the Tramontina, All Clad, & Sur La Table ( all tri-ply). I was impressed with the Tramontina in comparison to the All Clad (especially due to the price difference). I wasn't crazy about the handles on the All Clad and found the handles on the Tramontina & Sur La Table to be more comfortable. Walmart currently has the 8 piece set for $149.99. I think I'm going to go with the Tramontina (although I won't get it until Christmas--it's a gift from mom). Victoriajane--I'm lovin' the Bluestar, glad you are too! |

Spartywarren - I think the Tramontina Triply cookware at Walmart is great. BUT, I'm sorry, I would not buy the set you are talking about. Not a good use of your Mom's Christmas money. The set is missing some essential cookware, and has a couple pieces you likely won't use. For example, an 8" saute pan is REALLY small. I have one that someone gave me, and it just sits in my cabinet. Even when cooking for one, it's still really too small. The 10" saute pan that does come in the set is pretty good, but I find myself reaching for my 12" pan the most (Tramontina makes a 12" triply pan, but not for this set). And SAUCEPANS! The set comes with a 1-qt. and a 2-qt saucepan, nothing bigger. Those two sizes are very duplicative, since they are small enough just to be useful when reheating a can of soup or something like that. It's good to have ONE of those (the 2-qt. being a little more versatile), but a waste of space to have both. But then the set is lacking a 4-qt. saucepan, which is the most essential size saucepan to have, extremely versatile for just about anything. Again, Walmart sells a 4-qt. Tramontina triply saucepan, but not in the set. The set also comes with a 5-qt. Dutch oven, which I have myself. I use it for boiling pasta, and corn on the cob, and a few other things. But when I am making chili, spaghetti sauce, soup, or stew, the 5qt. is definitely not big enough. For those dishes, I recommend you buy the Tramontina 6.5 qt. enamelled cast iron dutch oven (got very high reviews from Cooks Illustrated magazine, practically as good as a Le Creuset, which costs, like $250). That cast iron dutch oven is very versatile, it can be used for the dishes I just mentioned, and also to roast chicken or make pot roast too. I think your mom's Christmas money can be put to better use than that Tramontina set, which has items you won't use much, and is missing items you'll want to use a lot. I highly recommend you make a list of the separate Tramontina pots you'll need, and have your Mom buy them that way as your Christmas present. Here are my suggestions: Triply 2 qt. saucepan = $30 Total = $165, about $15 more than the set you wanted, but you'll use it much more. |

And if someone else wants to buy you a Christmas present, I'd suggest the 8 quart stock pot with insert ($80). I use it all the time. |

text: There are plenty of vile, heartless thugs running around Prison Break's Fox River State Penitentiary, but none comes close to skeeving us out like Theodore ''T-Bag'' Bagwell, the drawling white-trash racist whose do- or-die rivalry with fellow inmate John Abruzzi came to a shocking head last week. Robert Knepper a veteran of TV and more than 20 films (Hostage) who's also starring as Joe McCarthy's henchman in Good Night, and Good Luck says he's having a ball being so bad, though he admits, ''I was concerned that I would have to call Fox and ask for some security. I thought I'd have a bunch of brothers coming up to me really angry about what my character does.'' Not so much. Excited fans approach him all the time to express their off-kilter admiration for T-Bag, a testament to Knepper's skill at playing slimy. ''People looove to hate me. I never play him like a stereotypical racist or redneck. He's actually quite cunning and smart.'' But will that help him when and if the Gang of Seven escapes in the season's fall finale (Nov. 28 at 9 p.m.)? ''I don't worry about that, because he has the ability to come up with some amazing shanks,'' he says with a nasty giggle. ''The audience knows he'll get away with it. But the question is how. And that's what makes it so fun to watch.''

Hello, There's an interesting discussion in the OpenBSD mailing list about the use of inline. Here's the beginning of the thread about this topic: ,----[ http://www.sigmasoft.com/cgi-bin/wilma_hiliter/openbsd-tech/200407/msg00175.html ] | inline considered harmful. | | * To: tech@... | * Subject: inline considered harmful. | * From: Artur Grabowski <art@...> | * Date: 21 Jul 2004 03:54:46 +0200 | * User-agent: Gnus/5.09 (Gnus v5.9.0) Emacs/21.2 | | Today we did a bunch of removal of inline functions in the kernel. | It all started to make floppies fit, but now it's a quest. | | If you think that I'm crazy doing this because it might hurt your | precious performance, go back to your vax and leave the performance | tuning to people who have a cache. | | Every single inline we removed today (and there are more in the | pipeline and even more waiting to be fixed) shrunk the code and MADE | IT FASTER. Yes, modern cpus have something called "cache". The cache | prefers the code to be smaller, rather than free from function calls. | Yes, some cpus have expensive function call overhead. Don't use them. | i386 has quite expensive function calls, on the other hand it doesn't | have any relevant amount of registers either. So a function call | instead of the same function inlined can potentially make the job | easier for the register allocator in the compiler which could eat the | overhead. At the same time the instruction cache can run the same code | in the same place, instead of loading it from main memory 4711 times. | And guess what? The stack on i386 is in the cache too, so the function | call overhead isn't that bad anyway. | | I'm tired of seeing code where everything is made inline just because | someone acted on a meme that hasn't been true for over a decade. Bloat, | bloat and more bloat. Since people can't use inline correctly (it does | have valid and correct uses), from now on inline in the OpenBSD kernel | is considered to be a bug until proven otherwise. So. Next time I see | code that adds to the bloat with inlines, I expect performance figures | and kernel size comparisons that show that the inline actually | contributes anything. Otherwise the code does not go in. | | There's still a lot of work to be done in the kernel (yes, macros can | be evil too, just see nfs), so send diffs. And there's a whole | unexplored field in userland too. | | //art `---- Mario -- email@example.com mailing list

IPV Introduction, OPV Withdrawal and Routine Immunization Strengthening
This site provides information on objective 2 of the Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic Plan. It contains the rationale for and resources related to the introduction of Inactivated Poliomyelitis Vaccine (IPV), withdrawal of Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) and routine immunization strengthening.
The Strategic Plan was developed in response to the May 2012 World Health Assembly which declared the completion of poliovirus eradication to be a programmatic emergency for global public health. Under this plan to achieve and sustain a polio-free world, the use of OPV must eventually be stopped worldwide, starting with OPV containing type 2 poliovirus (OPV type 2). At least one dose of inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) must be introduced as a risk mitigation measure and to boost population immunity.
UNICEF awards IPV tender
UNICEF awarded a tender for IPV vaccines in February 2014, which makes sufficient quantities of affordable IPV available. A multi-faceted IPV financing strategy is ongoing and further reductions in the cost of IPV are being pursued for the medium-term (i.e. post 2018) through continued efforts to develop and license new products.
New polio vaccine
Position Paper
A new polio position paper has been issued in the Weekly Epidemiological Record, with WHO for the first time formally recommending an OPV and IPV schedule. The position paper can be found online at:
Introducing IPV – the experience in Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Yogyakarta, Indonesia switched from OPV to the routine use of IPV. Education and effective training of immunization providers and public health program managers as well as the engagement of many partners contributed to their success. Education and materials that addressed health care provider and parent questions about multiple injections were also important.
Click the links below for more information on each of the following six areas:
If you have any questions or need more information about IPV introduction, OPV withdrawal and routine immunization strengthening, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Status updates on country planning for IPV introduction
WHO, UNICEF, and partners, are in regular dialogue with countries to support effective preparations for IPV. Click below for a summary per country of the status of planning and introductions updated monthly.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ali!
Facts about Ali
- Breed: Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Bernese Mountain Dog Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Ali's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Ali is 74lbs of softness and love! He is mild mannered and very intelligent. He knows several basic commands such as sit, stay, and down and gladly comes when he is called. He is very eager to please and quick to learn. He walks very well on a leash and loves any outing, be it for a jog, short walk, or in a car on a grand adventure. And he really loves trips to the dog park! He gets along great with other dogs. He is completely house trained and almost enjoys going into his kennel if it's required of him. He really just loves to be with his people and will follow them wherever they go. He would love to be a lap dog if you let him! Ali is an all-around great dog and would be a wonderful addition to any household.
My adoption fee is $400, which includes all vaccinations, alteration, and microchip! Please visit www.goodkarmamn.org to fill out an adoption application.
Once you fill out our adoption application, an awesome representative of Good Karma will contact you to answer any questions you may have and set up a time for you to meet your new pet! Good Karma Animal Rescue's approval process includes conducting a home visit before adopters take their new pet home.
Other Pets at Good Karma Animal Rescue of MN
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ali, a Maple Grove Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Bernese Mountain Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Bernese Mountain Dog for sale in Maple Grove, or seeking a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Bernese Mountain Dog dog from a breeder in Maple Grove.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Maple Grove already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Maple Grove breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Bernese Mountain Dog breeders who help with Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Bernese Mountain Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Maple Grove paves the way for another one to be saved.

Translate this page Agency seeks half-million for more electric vehicle power stationsTuesday, January 28th, 2014 Issue 05, Volume 18.
The EDA will compete for a $500,000 Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Grant available through the California Energy Commission, which announced last month that it was accepting applications for a total $4 million in grant funding. Any recipient awarded funds must commit to a 25 percent match. According to the EDA, the match can include "in-kind" contributions, such as labor. Two years ago, the board received a $21,000 federal taxpayer-funded grant for the installation of four charging stations -- three in Riverside and one in Murrieta. Since then, according to the EDA, the county has added two more. "To date, Advertisement The stations are run at county expense and can be accessed without charge by county employees or members of the general public. According to the EDA, recent surveys indicated a growing interest among employees in purchasing EVs. Some respondents said they had received "inquiries from non-employees about the availability of charging stations," including from contract workers, doctors and others, according to the agency. The desired grant funding would support the installation of an additional 45 charging stations, 41 of which would have the ability to charge more than one vehicle at the same time. Stations would be located at government buildings countywide. 5 comments
This makes about as much sense as putting BETAMAX tapes in a redbox machine.
This is a good beginning but what we really should be doing is rapidly expand mass transit options for residents so as to eliminate/reduce the need for single occupant vehicles. Even more importantly we need land use policies that direct all future growth into our existing urban centers and deny any and all residential building permits outside of these dense urban cores. http://www.ecocitybuilders.org/
Carla, if I want to build a house out in the boonies thats my choice and no person, agency, commision, or government entity has no say in it. Its a free country! If you want a centralized totalitarian government telling you where you can live, what you can eat, what car to drive, what doctor you can see, what religion you can practice, what kind of toilet paper or light bulb you can use then by all means go straight to Iran, dont pass go and dont collect 200 dollars. Take your centralized communist totalitarian utopia and SHOVE IT!! America is a free country and if I have ANYTHING to do with it, its going to stay that way! If your offended by this too d**n bad.
Sorry Checker, but you're wrong. Even under the most primitive bourgeois concepts of so called private property as currently practiced in this country, you do not have a right to do whatever you want. You do not have a right to build a factory in the middle of a residentially zoned neighborhood. You do not get to open a slaughter house next door to a hospital. The reason is that one person's use of property has very real material effects upon others in society. Sprawl development requires collective social resources to provide infrastructure such as sewers, roads, fire protection, public education etc. The pollution generated by your car is something that affects those around you as well. As a society we can not allow finite resources (and land is a finite resource) to be gobbled up because of Reality Checker's antiquated and out dated beliefs. It's no longer 1800 when there were only 5 million people in the country. There's already more than 300 million people in the US now and that will only grow higher (much higher if we adopted your views on family planning and women's reproductive choice). But if you don't feel comfortable dealing with today's realities or the impending future, please feel free to take your passé ideology and transport yourself back to 1800. I'm sure you and Daniel Boone would make a cute couple.
And you would be Lenin's b****.

Child-Suitable Alternatives To Passwords?
Re:passphrase (895 comments)
I typically advise people to use this method. It is a phrase that you can cut up. For example:
"three blind mice see how they run"
That turns to: tbmshtr
Take the three and turn it to a 3
capitalize the nouns: Mice and They
That would turn to: 3bMshTr
Looks abstract, takes a bit of thinking, but it is a start.

Alisha Ettleman, Tristin Miller, Jody Lang Brant Loose, Nicole Guess, Brandon Wehenkel What Is Physical Therapy? In an editorial that appeared in PT Magazine in October 1999, the publisher remarked: "Physical therapists are good people to know. They're educated in understanding the interaction of all your body parts. Their hands-on approach begins with examination, diagnosis, and treatment of the immediate problem. Then they teach you how to take care of yourself by showing you how to do exercises and how to use your body properly to gain strength and mobility and prevent recurring injury. You'll find them advising on proper posture and body motion in the work place, treating injuries, consulting on fitness, and administering physical therapy in the home. Today physical therapists provide help for every part of the body to everyone from infants to the elderly - more than 1 million people every day!" The physical therapist provides services aimed at preventing the onset and/or slowing the progression of conditions resulting from injury, disease, and other causes. The physical therapist provides these services to people of all ages who have functional conditions resulting from back and neck injuries, sprains/strains and fractures, arthritis, burns, amputations, stroke, multiple sclerosis, birth defects such as cerebral palsy and spina bifida, injuries related to work and sports, and others. Adapted from the APTA What is Occupational Therapy? Occupational therapy is skilled treatment that helps individuals achieve independence in all facets of their lives. It gives people the "skills for the job of living" necessary for independent and satisfying lives. Services typically include: Customized treatment programs to improve one's ability to perform daily activities Comprehensive home and job site evaluations with adaptation recommendations Performance skills assessments and treatment Adaptive equipment recommendations and usage training Guidance to family members and caregivers About Occupational Therapy Practitioners Occupational therapy practitioners are skilled professionals whose education includes the study of human growth and development with specific emphasis on the social, emotional, and physiological effects of illness and injury. The occupational therapist enters the field with a bachelors, masters, or doctoral degree. The occupational therapy assistant generally earns an associate degree. Practitioners must complete supervised clinical internships in a variety of health care settings, and pass a national examination. Most states also regulate occupational therapy practice.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sally!

- Color: Black (Mostly)
- Age: Young

- Hair: Short
Sally's Info...

UPDATE: SALLY HAS BEEN ADOPTED ON FEBRUARY 16, 2013 WITH FAWN AND ARE NOW RESIDING MISSIAAUGA. My name is Sally. I was dumped off on NCWL's property with 12 other cats/kittens and left to fend for myself. I have white on my chest and a white tip on my tail. I am also microchipped. I am estimated to be about a year old. I am looking for a quiet home. I love to purr and roll over so you can pet me. My photo is horrible and I am not very photogenic.

Other Pets at Neveah's Charity of West Lincoln
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sally, a Caistor Centre Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Caistor Centre, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Caistor Centre.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Caistor Centre already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Caistor Centre breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Caistor Centre paves the way for another one to be saved.

Tupac Performs at Coachella
Monday, April 16th, 2012
Tupac is alive (sort of) and performs Hail Mary and 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted at Coachella
Imagine being at Coachella, watching the Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre show and all of a sudden Tupac raises on stage and starts performing "Hail Mary." Well, that happened. Using some sort of crazy technology (also used in Japan to make pop stars) a realistic hologram of Tupac was created, and "Tupac" can rap, dance and even get the crowd live. Finishing his performance with "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" with Snoop, the two rappers even interact with one another at times.
Though this has been used before (again, see Japanese pop star video), it hasn't been used to bring back celebrities from the dead. The opportunities could be endless. Maybe Elvis will be going on tour next summer, Biggie will be playing Madison Square Gardens or Whitney Houston will perform her own memorial concert. Musicians that are still alive could even use it--Beyonce could have concerts across the world the same night.
Most of us revel at the idea of seeing our favorite lost performers on stage again, but it is a little weird. Is Tupac performing at Coachella creepy or cool? Who would you want to or not want to see resurrected on stage?
Movie Star in the Desert

First, Suzanne Ford Carafano created Spanish Moss Vintage, an online boutique specializing in thrifted statement pieces. Then she added a "Shop New" section for independent designers, which included Sophomore, Babooshka and Breanna Lee. After that was off the ground, she added her own designs to the mix. Carafano's line, American Gold is manufactured in California both literally and figuratively. It's a rockstar in a dive bar or a movie star in the desert. It's Emmylou Harris on the cover of Elite Hotel and it's Alessandra Ambrosio at this year's Coachella.
The Autumn/Winter '10 collection from American Gold, titled: the Virgin and the Gypsy, stays on trend with black lace and patterned tights, but features shaggy tops that give the looks Carafano's signature nostalgic vibe. American Gold is for those who see the romance in roadside flea markets and thunderstorms (both listed as inspirations) and those who treasure unique clothes that will stay in their closet year after year.

Anxiously Looking Home
2007 came without our even noticing, as we still fly, eat, sleep and repeat. A few changes have started to show in our routine; mainly the discussions of what we need to pack, when. Most of us are packed up and more than ready for 2007 to take us home, until we read the newspapers and see the hype of expanding the troop levels in this conflict. We are all anxious in one way or another about getting ready to leave or about the very faint possibility of our staying.
Most of us are anxious about our return because life here is so different from life at home. Just like when we came over here, we are all wondering what life will be like. What has changed? What did we miss? What don't we know that will surprise us when we get back? Some dread returning to their cubicle prison of an office job, while others are concerned about getting home and having to integrate back into family life, spouse and children, demanding time spent with their returning soldier. Some dread having to find employment. For many this trip has provided some substantial financial boosts, mostly benefiting from the lack of expenses, which come to an end very shortly. Though there are difficulties ahead, we all are ready to return home for the comfort of home is worth those adjustments.
We are ready to return home until we read the news, "Surge in Troops Needed to Solve Iraq Puzzle" The decision to pack our personal belongings early has come under scrutiny, fearing we would need them for a few months more. Though we've been told that we are not on the short list of units extended, it still rides our minds. Could there be an order to extend our orders to Iraq? All we know is just rumor, stemming from our personal conversations.
All of these pressures are culminating in some heated arguments, ultimately resolved by a short apology from all parties, followed by the explanation that they are ready for this to end. Anxious to get these DAYS behind us.

Next: Busy as Hell, Trying to Get Out of Here
Best wishes to you and your brothers and sisters in arms. I'm sure you can't recall the numerous comments you've read since you started this blog, but (much to my dismay) I told you so... I think it was somewhere around the middle of your deployment when you were starting to look forward to the end of your mission, I suggested that you not think too much about the end of the mission because there were already too many cases of troops having their stays extended for whatever reason. All of you have done everything that's been asked of you and more. Unfortunately, our Commander in Chief will not hesitate to ask you to do something that he himself was unwilling to do. Please keep yourself strong mentally and physically. Don't let your guard down and don't despair if asked to stay or asked to return. For better or worse all of you are now experienced veterans with skills that are in short supply in a military that is stretched to the limit. If called upon to stay or return, please take whatever emotions you have to deal with and focus them towards making it through this ordeal. I'm sure everyone - whether with or against the President's initiatives - want to see all you come back home safe and sound. God bless you all.
Posted by: James | January 16, 2007 12:16 PM
I see you are suffering from short timers syndrome. As you have painfully pointed out, you are not in control and it will cause some strains. I hope your humor sees you through the short timer blues.
Posted by: Hal | January 16, 2007 12:53 PM
Know that we all hope you come back soon safe and sound. Try to take it day by day, neither being too eager to come home (I know, virtually impossible) nor too depressed at the remote possibility of having to stay longer.(equally difficult). Hang in there, stay tough, know that lots of folks are praying for you.
Posted by: A fan | January 17, 2007 10:29 AM
Bert, please DO know that the 'back home' people, nationally and locally, (especially locally! you are our neighbors...) ARE thinking of you, and ARE praying for you... we want our soldiers HOME SAFE. In our little church down the road from your parents' home, prayers always are offered as well. Saw your Mom and Dad a recently in the P.O. here, and we spoke of you, and of your brother whom I taught in grade four. It truly boggles the mind for me to try to comprehend the daily reality you guys and gals are going through over there. KEEP THE FAITH, we all hope to see you in the local P.O. here...
Posted by: Old Miss C | January 18, 2007 08:48 AM
Bert, we're all proud of you and are looking forward to your homecoming. Know that there are many thinking about you and pray for your safe return. We'll be here for you when you come home!
Posted by: dc friend | January 18, 2007 12:31 PM
My son-in-law is with your unit and we are all anxiously awaiting his and the rest of the units return. I say my son-in-law but we feel like he is our son. Our daughter and granddaughter have been coping fairly well, but both are counting down the days! No one truly can understand what the family (or soldier for that matter) really goes through unless they have been in that position. Just to know someone has taken the time to send a card, letter, email or package to your loved one makes you so happy and proud to have such good friends and supports our soldiers while serving. God Bless you, Bert, and all the soldiers of the 2-224th and may your return home be swift and safe! God Bless the USA!!

we look forward to your return Berto, we wait with our arms wide open and our ears ready for as much or little as you want to share. perhaps just a beer, some good background music, and some eye candy will be a good start (like last time i visited you in DC). as always, i am very proud of you.
Posted by: docadam | January 19, 2007 11:54 PM
We are praying you get to come home on schedule....my son came home in Sept. and it was a roller coaster of emotions for us for a few days...the best part was that he/I had an opportunity to be together for 6 days in NC before he was released to come home on leave....we were able to work through his emotions/mine together....we tried to do things that were calming and away from crowds! It is wonderful to have him home (he will return end of this year or beginning of next)...we don't think of that, just enjoy the time we have now!!
Praying you aren't "extended", but I know if you are, you will do what you need to do until time for you to come home! I have missed your blogs and are pleased they allowed you to continue! We keep you in our prayers and are forever indebted to all of you for your service!! May God protect your date to come home!!

Bert, This doesn't relate to your most recent entry, but I have to say I hope you all get home soon. I am trying to get in touch with you. Adrian Stump is my son. I thought the blog you wrote about him was wonderful. I think a few of my relatives beat you up a little about it, but it was great. Sorry it's taken me forever to try to contact you. It's been a rough year and a half. What I'm really after is to establish communication, and also would love any copies of pictures you may have that include Adrian.
Posted by: Anne Stump | January 22, 2007 03:00 PM
Anne, I took the photos of Adrian and Bert that are included with the story. I will be more than happy to send you copies of these photos. I had the pleasure of meeting your son. From the short amount of time spent with him, I quickly realized that he was a terrific individual. Nothing will fill the void from losing him, but I hope you find some comfort in precious memories.
Thank you to 2-224th AVN BTN for your service and, Bert, for your dedication to keeping us informed. Your selfless efforts are greatly appreciated by many.
Posted by: L | January 23, 2007 01:22 PM
Dear L, Thanks for the reply! My work e-mail is XXX. Please fill me in on your relationship w/ Adrian. God, I'd love it if you could send the pics.

Burt, thanks for sharing and letting us know on the home front what is going on. It has been a way of keeping in touch when we could not hear or know what was going on. Thanks for your sacrifice and all that are there with you doing the same including my son. We all are looking forward to the day the bus rolls in and once again be able to touch and express ourselves to each of you for the great job that all of you have done. I thank God for His guidance and protection over all of you especailly this last leg of the journey.
God bless and protect each of you.

I continue to keep you/your Unit in my prayers, praying that you will come home when scheduled and that God will provide all that you need when you return.....I didn't understand why my son had to stay close to base for 6 days....but after experiencing his adjustment/emotions, it was the necessary thing to do!! He was a Mechanic and never left the base, but the adjustment of leaving that place and coming home is very real for everyone! He was overwhelmed when he came home!! My prayer is that God will provide exactly what YOU need physically, emotionally, and spiritually!! One day we left the area of his base and went north to a little historic town and spent a quiet afternoon....it was wonderful time together....another day, just a day of walking on the Beach (he didn't think he would ever want to see sand again, but it is different HERE!)....just taking time before he came home to WV....it was precious time we had together and I will never forget it!! Stay focused for the time you have left and may God provide special time with your loved ones when you return!! Keeping you in prayer!!

I'm reading your column here at home in VA, while my dear hubbie is over there in your general neck of the woods, in your basic situation... hopefully soon to come home. Don't let the turkeys get you down. Short time is, and always has been depressing, and can be dangerous. Keep focused, and watch your six. Bless you and all those there with you.... Thank you for all you do. Thank you for watching out for each other, and keep up the good work! :-D Semper Fi!

The Flight from Dallas
From noon to dusk on November 22, 1963, history went dark, locked inside the closed and crowded cabin of Air Force One. Fifty years later, what happened after JFK died has fully come to light.
on September 16, 2013Published in the October 2013 80th Anniversary issue
Colonel James Swindal, a handsome forty-six-year-old carpenter's son from Alabama and the pilot of Air Force One, sits in the communications shack behind his cockpit, pushing back a roast-beef sandwich. Two million dollars' worth of the latest technology buzzes around him, teletype machines and radios and three separate phone patches. He's half-listening to the radio, Charlie frequency, to the chatter of Secret Service agents narrating the progress of President John F. Kennedy's motorcade through Dallas. Swindal's copilot, Lieutenant Colonel Lewis Hanson, has left the plane, taking advantage of the short stop at Love Field to pay a quick visit to his ailing mother-in-law. As Swindal waits, he brings on only a light load of fuel for this afternoon's scheduled flight to Austin, part of the president's continuing tour of Texas.
Behind Swindal, in the large passenger compartment, two secretaries type press releases; farther back, in the stateroomwith its two fixed tables, TV set, and six chairs upholstered in goldall is quiet. Only in Air Force One's single bedroom is there activity: George Thomas, Kennedy's valet, lays out a fresh set of clothes for the president to change into when he returns. The day started out rainy and overcast, but now the sun is out, and it's warm for late November. Thomas picks out a lightweight blue suit for Austin, a carefully pressed shirt, and a freshly polished pair of shoes.
Back in the communications shack, Swindal hears the first in a series of puzzling radio calls. The Secret Service agents refer to one another by code names, all starting with D. "Dusty to Daylight," the radio crackles. "Have Dagger cover Volunteer." Dagger, Swindal knows, is a laconic agent named Rufus Youngblood, a thirty-nine-year-old native of Georgia. Volunteer is the code name for Vice-President Lyndon B. Johnson.
The radio suddenly drops out. Swindal worries that President Kennedy's notoriously tricky back has leveled himhe was wearing his cumbersome brace when he left the planeand the motorcade, on its way to the Dallas Trade Mart for a luncheon, has needed to stop.
Outside on the tarmac, radio operator John Trimble is stretching his legs when a member of the White House Communications Agency, listening to the same Secret Service feed on his portable radio, waves him over. He tells Trimble that someone in the presidential motorcade has been hurt. The plane needs to be readied for takeoff immediately. "My first reaction was that one of the Secret Service agents had fallen from a car," Trimble says later.
He runs up the ramp and onto the plane. In his wake, the crews from two nearby passenger jetsAir Force Two, the vice-president's plane, and the Pan American charter for the accompanying pressstream past Air Force One's wheels, under its shining silver belly. They had been grabbing lunch inside the terminal when they were interrupted by a PA announcement: Time to move.
Swindal asks Trimble to radio the White House switchboard to find out what's happened, or is happening still. He needs a destination. In the meantime, he heads for the stateroom and turns on the TV.
A vague early bulletin hits the screen and then hangs in the air: President Kennedy has been shot. The pilot is soon joined by Thomas, the valet; Sergeant Joseph Ayres, the plane's steward; and the two secretaries, their hands lifted to their mouths. Thomas retreats to the bedroom and begins putting away the clothes he's just laid out. The women start to cry.
The White House confirms to Trimble the terrible news. Through his headset, he listens to the report in disbelief.
General Godfrey McHugh, President Kennedy's top military aide, calls Air Force One from Parkland Hospital. They will be leaving for Andrews Air Force Base, and they will be leaving soon.
Trimble radios Andrews and asks that a voice frequency be kept clear of traffic. He does not want to say why; he doesn't know how far the news has traveled and does not want to be the bearer of it. But Andrews complies with this unusual request immediately"Roger, sir. The frequency has been cleared"because the operator likely knows, too.
Swindal orders the fuel tanks topped up. He also disconnects Love Field's mobile air-conditioning unit from the plane. The temperature inside Air Force One begins to rise. Swindal idles only one engine, conserving fuel, providing just enough power to keep on some lights and the TV. Hanson, the copilot, rushes into the cockpit, something like numb. His mother-in-law, who was watching her TV, had yelled the news to him the instant he'd walked through her door. "My mind rejected the idea," he says later, "as though it was some kind of bad dream." He fires up the other engines at least twice, as if wanting to make sure they still work.
Swindal plots a flight plan east to Andrews, over Texarkana, Texas, and Memphis and Nashville. Then the two men wait and cook, unaware of exactly what's unfolding at the hospital only a few miles away. Now Swindal sees a pair of unmarked police cars screaming onto the runway over the morning's puddles and discarded welcome signs.
And he knows.
Lyndon Johnson, trapped somewhere between vice-president and president, is hunched down in the backseat of the first car. Jesse Curry, the chief of the Dallas police, is behind the wheel. Rufus Youngblood and Congressman Homer Thornberry pile out of the back with Johnson. Congressman Albert Thomas, who had waved down the car when it was peeling away from Parkland Hospital, is in the front seat. He jumps out with Curry.
Lady Bird Johnson is in the second car with Congressman Jack Brooks and three more members of the Secret Service. Together they run up the Eastern Airlines ramp at the rear of the gleaming Boeing 707.
Youngblood and the other agents begin running through the cabin, rapidly closing the plane's shades and curtains. There's an uneasy, unspoken feeling that Air Force One could be attacked at any moment, driven into by a gasoline truck, strafed by machine-gun fire from a rooftop. There are enemies out there. With the shades closed and the power mostly off, the plane goes dark.
"I'm sticking to you like glue," Youngblood tells Johnson.
Through one of the last open windows, Sergeant Ayres, the steward, sees a police car swerving across the runway, its tires screeching, its sirens ringing out. If there's a conspiracy, here's the rest of it, he thinks. The Secret Service agents come close to opening fire on the speeding car, filling it with bullets. They would have killed Jack Valenti, an unofficial aide of Johnson's; Lem Johns, a fellow Secret Service agent; Cliff Carter, one of Johnson's closest advisors; and Cecil Stoughton, the White House photographer.
Other cars, with still more passengers, have already pulled up to the bottom of the steps at the plane's rear entrance. There are more Johnson peopleMarie Fehmer, his secretary, and Liz Carpenter, a former newspaper reporter turned confidanteand the first wave of Kennedy loyalists: Evelyn Lincoln, the president's secretary, and Pam Turnure and Mary Gallagher, Jackie Kennedy's ladies-in-waiting. The two camps have arrived at Air Force One as if by instinct, propelled by different versions of the same understanding: This plane is for the president.
Johnson and Lady Bird spend their first minute or two on board in the bedroomtwo single beds, a nightstand, a painting of a French farmhouse on the wall. The room's ghosts are too new, and the Johnsons are uncomfortable in their company. On the careening drive to Love Field, Lady Bird had looked out a window and seen a flag already lowered to half-mast. "I think that was when the enormity of what had happened fresh struck me," she says later. The Johnsons ask to go to the adjacent stateroom instead.
Lyndon Johnson appears in the hallway. He is six foot three, filling the passage. Everybody in the room jumps to their feet, including the three congressmen, Texans all. Congressman Thomas is the first of them to speak: "We are ready to carry out any orders that you have, Mr. President."
Cliff Carter picks up a white phone in the rear of the plane. Trimble patches him through to his wife in Austin. He asks her to call Rufus Youngblood's wife. Carter heard radio reports of dead agents on his way to Love Field, and he knows these reports are untrue. All of the agents are alive. Only the now former president is not.
His conversation is interrupted by the sound of hammering. In the small aft cabin, behind the bedroom, Sergeant Ayres is removing two rows of seats to make room for a casket.

Spps200 Portable Power Station:the Bmw M6 of Battery Packs
Let it be known that I am not the one responsible for that analogy. Battery Geek Inc., makers of said battery pack, are to be commended for such an exquisite and refreshing figure of speech.
So why is the SPPS200 200 Wh Portable Power Station the BMW M6 of battery packs? Because its little brothers, the 118 Wh and 130 Wh models, are the BMW of battery packs, that's why. So why are they the BMWs of battery packs? Because they're expensive. So why are they expensive? Because they can power your laptop, for up to 30 hours. Vrooom.
The SPPS 200 can power PC laptops for 20-30 hours, while MacBooks owners can expect 16 hours of extra runtime. BMW of runtimes if you ask me.
And that's not all: As you may have guessed from the picture, you can adjust the output voltage of the PPS so that aside from giving your laptop the BMW of battery lives, it can also power and recharge your cellphone, your PDA, your PSP, your iPhone, your iPod and other mp3 players.
And that's not all: You don't even need to bring the chargers for any of those devices because the PPS comes with adapters that will fit with your gadget. You can check out the link to Battery Geek below for the BMW of supported laptops and mobile devices. And that's not all: while Macbooks are supported, Battery Geek charges an extra $20 for the Macbook/Macbook Pro adapter. G4 and Powerbook adapters are already included with the PPS.
And that's not all: The PPS weighs only 4.4 lbs. and is just over an inch thick. What's the catch? The BMW M6 of battery pack prices, of course. The list price of the SPPS 200 is $800 (USD). Fortunately, you can buy it straight from Battery Geek for the BMW of discounted prices of $500. And that's not all: when you buy the SPPS 200, you'll get the BMW of freebies, a free leather & canvas travel case.
And that's not all: Here are the BMWs of introductory videos for battery packs:
Now you know the BMWs and the BMW M6s of the tech world. Next time we'll take a look at the Scot Pollard of rap.
Update: a couple of commenters have pointed out that the spps200 may in fact be the Ford Edsel of battery packs. Apparently Battery Geek also has poor service. Caveat emptor.

Comments (4):
I like(d) the SPPS-200 but mine has failed after four months (and only 2-3 uses). I went online to get an RMA number from BatteryGeek to return it, and got an email saying I'd get the RMA within 24 hours. Since then, nothing over 4 weeks despite 3 more emails and a voicemail message to them.
How does one get Battery Geek to respond? For $500 for the battery I'd expect better service.
David Sherman, email@example.com, 416 781 4622
BatteryGeek's products seem to suffer from horrible quality, ranging from inspection oversight such as wrong type of DC out jack that is completely imcompatible with the supplied cable to major manufacturing defect such as batteries themselves not holding any charges. I went through four of their products and only one actually works, and I don't know how long that will last.
David, you are entirely correct; for something that costs more than some of the laptops/netbooks out there, one would expect better quality and service.
Do yourself a favor and invest in XPAL 18000. It holds less charge, but it's much lighter and smaller than SPPS, not to mention having better quality and service.
BatteryGeek seems to have mended its ways. After a lengthy period of non-responsiveness to my emails, voicemails and RMA request forms from when I made my first request (August 31/09), I got a response on November 9/09. Their returns supervisor Jack Murray (512-422-8310) wrote, as part of his email to me, "I know we have been way too slow in getting this resolved. Battery Geek has been undergoing a difficult re-organization and is now under new management. We sincerely promise to be more responsive in the future."
Since then BG has been very responsive. I sent them the battery (took me a while because I was away), they tested it and agreed it's broken and they are replacing it with a new one (actually a better model that's lighter and more useful for my needs).
I'm willing to accept that the service problem has been solved by new management; Jack Murray has responded promptly to each email I've sent, and has included his phone number and invited me to call him personally. Very different from my earlier dealings which were with a phone number answered only by voicemail.

Marvel Just Got The Rights to 'Daredevil' Back
Movie News By Scott Beggs on April 24, 2013 | 1 CommentIf Marvel's movie dominance has proven anything, it's the difficulty that other studios have had in handling their material. Despite billions that have been made on the back of the superhero film movement, several outings (most notably from Fox) have proven to be terrible for fans of the comic books (and of good movies). Daredevil is just one example, and for those wishing desperately that Marvel would be able to get their hands back on the character for future projects, good news just crested the horizon.
According to Collider, Marvel head Kevin Feige announced that his company has the rights to Daredevil back after Fox failed to get a new production off the ground. We recently got some yellow-spandex covered details on that failed attempt, but even though that sounded potentially fantastic, it's great to see the character back home where he belongs. This means that Marvel not only has the power to create their own stand-alone Daredevil movie, they can also use the character within the rest of the giant movie universe they've created.
So who's looking forward to the post-credits sequence when Nick Fury visits the offices of a bright young lawyer from Hell's Kitchen because S.H.I.E.L.D. is looking for new talent?

Here we have a local "Thrifty Outlet", it's where all the unsold and outdated merchandise from the Meijer stores go as a last ditch effort to sell it. Amanda went with me and she found two of these, one for her and one for her sister: The Price? Yup, $1.50. I don't need one, I prefer a knife, but both the girls were excited, and Makayla says she'll slice all the cucumbers we get from the garden this summer. Annie |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can't beat the price. Is it safe enough for Makayla to use? ~Ann |
Ann, I think it is. You put the vegetables in a tube, much like a food processor, but the thing works by pushing down the handle, kind of like a mechanized mandolin, as far as I can tell. Makayla will be 10 in November, and does some minor chopping and slicing, so I think she'll be fine. If I think she could cut herself, maybe I'll buy her one of those cutting gloves, which would significantly up the price of the slicer. (grin) Does it work? I guess we'll see but I figure they can probably get $1.50 worth of slicing out of the things! Annie |
Great find and a great offer from Makayla. Hope you're planning on doing up a lot of pickles so she'll have lots of slicing to do. |
Good find, Annie. I foresee lots of sliced squash in your future too. |
Heck, for $1.50, if Makayla gets an hour of entertainment, you came out ahead. Just keep it out of Bud's hands. I'm sure he would find all kinds of interesting things to slice up. I love bargains. I went to our local cheap plant place and bought and couple of half dead leftovers for almost nothing. Once they got into some decent soil and were watered, they look great. |

Let us know how well the "sliceOmatic" works. I just found a brand new Feemster at the flea market for $2 and that thing wouldn't cut hot butter...UGH! But the adjustment platform cut my finger on a sharp edge though when I was changing it's height...GAH! |
Akgirl, I will do that. Makayla is watching for zucchini and cucumbers and I think next time we have a family picnic, maybe she can slice the onions. Annie |

East Village
New York, NY, 10003, United States
Gabrielle Hamilton's gutsy food at her hole-in-the-wall café on the Lower East Side is inspired by classic American dishes. Don't miss the "Dutch Style" jumbo blueberry pancake baked in the oven—it's paired with Canadian bacon, sour cream and powdered sugar. Sample some of the 10 different Bloody Mary cocktails (love the Bullshot) and try the prime dry-aged rib eye grilled with shallot-parsley butter to accompany two eggs any style. Just be prepared to wait: Prune is always crowded for dinner, and snagging a table for brunch on the weekends is tougher than getting an audience with the Pope.
Insider Tip:
Best sides: A plate of smoked sturgeon, sable, chub and salmon from Russ and Daughters.

Match reports
Clermont's lightning strike catches the Basques cold
The phrase "Dream start" is often overused, but Clermont's bonus point humbling of Biarritz, after a four try blitz in the first half an hour, must fall into that category. Additionally the "yellow and Blues" avoided having their try line crossed for the third consecutive match, giving them the best defensive standing in France.
And as for doing it in style, following the poor fare offered at last week's game in Castres, a packed Stade Marcel Michelin, bathed in a warm early Autumn sun, witnessed their team giving the most complete performance for some time. The quality of the attack in the first half was matched by the quality of the defense in the second. Clermont ran onto the field in determined fashion, eager to silence the doubters criticising their start to the season. After a multi-phased attack, the much vaunted Biarrot defense gave out as Julien Malzieu, was sent over by Pierre Mignoni after only 9 minutes. Before the Clermont supporters could catch breath, a Gonzalo Canale tackle forced a drop ball on the Clermont 22m line during a Biarritz attack. Marius Joubert gratefully scooped up the ball and the 'Big Bokke' ran in un-opposed from 70m, James again converted. The looks exchanged between the Basque players told its own story but Clermont were far from finished. The ever dominant Clermont pack were providing an abundance of ball for their three quarters, who were revelling in the free flowing game like kids in a sweet shop. Another Biarritz turnover, led to an Anthony Floch try after a clean break having ran a tight line near a ruck and cutting through the defense like a hot knife through butter. The score under the posts was converted by the dependable James. That was the bonus point try, but just for good measure Clermont ensured that their supporters were rewarded for their increasingly fervent noise, by scoring a fourth try through that 'Wallbreaker' Nalaga who shrugged off two tackles and rode a third to score Clermont's fourth try. All that action coupled with a solitary Courrent penalty for Biarritz, gave a score of 26-3 at half time, and a bewildered looking Biarritz team drifted into their changing room with little optimism.
Certainly Biarritz couldn't play much worse, and they started the 2nd half more positively and secured, and maintained a lot more possession. However their play was too lateral and their attempted offloads, meat and drink to a hungry Clermont defense . Audebert and Bonnaire led the charge making decisive tackles, scything down the opposition and forcing turnovers. An ever present Julien Pierre has more than found his mark in the Clermont ranks, after another bristling and aggressive showing. His contribution in an enthralling second half defensive display was a pleasure to watch, along with the tactical nouse of Brock James, whereas Biarritz looked a shadow of the team that once dominated French rugby. Harinordoquy, Thion, Traille and company were forced to play as a group of individuals, and by the end, it was hard to see where any inspiration could come from. Clermont finished the game with two additional Brock James penalties (52 and 72 mins), and play Bourgoin next week.
The next home match is the first Heineken cup game of the season against English pace setters, Sale on the 11th of October. Different competition, different refereeing, different styles but definitely one to watch.

Ministry of Advanced Education
Medical Training Expansion
The Province has doubled the number of first-year student doctors trained in B.C. to address current and future shortages, particularly in rural and remote areas. In just four years, the number of first-year spaces for medical students has increased to 256, compared with 128 in 2003-04.
To achieve this goal, the B.C. government expanded the University of British Columbia's medical school program to other regions. Thanks to this investment in British Columbia's future, medical students can now study in Prince George at the University of Northern B.C. and on Vancouver Island at the University of Victoria. On September 23, 2008, construction also began on the home of UBC's Southern Medical Program, which will train doctors on its Okanagan campus for the first time in B.C. history.
Government decided to educate doctors in the North, the interior and on Vancouver Island to help recruit and retain qualified medical professionals in rural and remote communities. Between 1980 and 2000, the Province's population grew by 50 per cent, but the number of medical school spaces in B.C. did not increase. As a result, access to care declined in rural regions, particularly in the North.
Expanding medical programs in more regions helps underserved areas attract their share of B.C.'s new doctors, as MDs often set up practice where they have trained.
The UVic and UNBC programs are linked to UBC by state-of-the-art videoconferencing, a distributed learning approach to medical education that is unique in North America. The Province invested $167.7 million in buildings to accommodate the new spaces and the technology to support this distributed learning. This investment includes $110 million for the new Life Sciences Centre at UBC's Vancouver campus, a further $33.7 million for the new Health Sciences Centre at UBC's Okanagan campus, and about $12 million each for the Northern Health Sciences Centre at UNBC and the Medical Sciences Building at UVic.

A Clever Tip for Sticking With Your Fitness Goals
Making exercise resolutions for 2014? You may want to invest in a new TV show, too—research shows that watching a personal television while exercising allows people to move at a much higher intensity (thus burning more calories) than those with no entertainment.
Celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak recommends choosing a show on a video streaming service like Netflix, and making a pact with yourself to only watch new episodes when you're working out. Says Pasternak, "Not only does it make your workouts easier, but you end up looking forward to them more. If you can only watch Breaking Bad when you're on the treadmill, you're going to find yourself wishing there were more hours in the day to work out!"
Get more ideas for losing weight—and actually keeping it off.

Mesa police secretly listened to 27 hours of phone conversations involving Scottsdale resident William Miller in the days between the slayings of five people in Mesa's Barrington Estates and his arrest on five counts of first-degree murder.
Miller's attorney, Carmen Fischer, said Friday in Maricopa County Superior Court that the state just recently turned over to her the audiotapes of the calls and almost 2,000 pages of documents.
Fischer's comments were the first public disclosure of the wiretaps.
The case was first marked by the refusal of authorities to turn over information to defense attorneys and the public as a precaution against retribution for witnesses and to protect the integrity of the investigation.
Last month, the county attorney's office unsealed about 90 pages of search warrants, affidavits and inventories of items seized from Miller's home and the crime scene. But the voluminous police report has yet to be released.
Fischer said police tapped two of Miller's telephone lines after the killings at 2208 S. Barrington. The state believes Miller committed the killings to silence witnesses in an arson case against him, according to court documents.
Slain were Steven Duffy, 30, and his girlfriend, Tammy Lovell, 32, who were former employees of Miller and who became informants against Miller in a Nov. 25 blaze at his home. Also killed were Duffy's brother, Shane Duffy, 18, and Lovell's children, Cassandra Lovell, 15, and Jacob Lovell, 10.
Besides the murder and arson cases, Miller is charged with trying to hire four men to commit the slayings.

I think I can get this from Grandpa's; supposedly better than Keiffer, and will bear fruit in 1-2 years. Does anyone have experience with Douglas Pears? Thanks, |
Follow-Up Postings:
BH, I personally dont, but here is an excerp from NCGR. I bet it's a great choice for you down in the heat! "In regions where blight and heat make pear-growing precarious, and pears with oriental blood, as Kieffer, Garber and Le Conte, must be grown, Douglas, which belongs with the pears just named, might well be tried. It is better in flavor than any other variety of its class, The trees come in bearing remarkably early, and are as productive as those of Kieffer, though hardly as large or vigorous. The trees are inclined to overbear, in which case the fruits run small. The variety has little to recommend it, but those who grow Kieffer might put it on probation with the hope of growing a fruit passably fair for dessert. Douglas is a seedling of Kieffer crossed, it is believed, with Duchesse d'Angouleme by O. H. Ayer, Lawrence, Kansas, about 1897. Tree medium in size and vigor, upright, very produc-tive", etc. |
