Vale SA (VALE5)'s second-quarter iron-ore production rose 0.4 percent, beating analysts' estimates, as the world's biggest producer of the steel-making ingredient lost less time to rain at its largest mine.
Output climbed to 80.5 million metric tons from 80.3 million tons a year ago, the Rio de Janeiro-based company said in a regulatory filing yesterday. That beat the 80.2-million ton average estimate of six analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP)'s quarterly iron-ore output climbed 15 percent.
Brazilian iron-ore exports rose 2.1 percent in the quarter as expanding Asian demand partially offset a slump in European orders. Steel demand in China, the biggest consumer of iron ore, is performing in a "very good" way this year, Vale Chief Executive Officer Murilo Ferreira said last month. Production at Carajas, the world's largest iron-ore mine, grew 5.2 percent in the second quarter as weather conditions improved, Vale said.
"We were positively impressed by the recovery in production at Carajas, which delivers Vale's highest quality ore at the lowest cost," Barclays Plc analysts led by Leonardo Correa in Sao Paulo said in a note to customers yesterday.
Vale, the world's second-largest mining company, slid 0.1 percent to 38.57 reais at the close in Sao Paulo, the lowest since Jun 28.
Nickel Delays
Vale's production of pellets, a processed form of iron ore used by the steel industry, gained 8.5 percent to a record 14.3 million tons in the quarter. Nickel output rose 8.4 percent to 61,000 tons, missing a 69,000-ton forecast by Citigroup Inc. after delays at its Canadian operations and shutdowns at Onca Puma and the VNC project in New Caledonia. Copper output climbed 11 percent in the past year to 70,000 tons, Vale said.
"The longer-than-expected temporary suspension for safety assessment of mining operations in Sudbury negatively impacted finished nickel production," the company said, referring to its Canadian mine.
Vale's Onca Puma nickel plant in northern Brazil stopped producing by the end of the quarter after problems with two furnaces and is likely to be out of operation for the next few months, the company said. VNC, which stopped production in May due to an incident at an acid plant, is expected to resume operations in the fourth-quarter.
Exceeding Forecasts
Melbourne-based BHP, the world's third-largest iron-ore producer after Vale and Rio Tinto Group, said yesterday that output for the steel-making raw material was 40.9 million tons in the three months ended June 30, beating the 37.3 million ton median estimate of five analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Rio's quarterly iron-ore production was little changed at 48.6 million tons from last year, meeting analyst expectations, the company said July 17.
Vale has gained 2 percent this year compared with a 9.6 percent decline for BHP in Sydney and Rio's 4.6 percent drop in London.
The Brazilian company is scheduled to release its second- quarter earnings report on July 25.

The manslaughter trial of BP supervisors Robert Kaluza and Donald Vidrine has been pushed back to June 2014 by federal judge Stanwood Duval Jr. Kaluza and Vidrine face eleven charges of manslaughter in the deaths of workers killed in the 2010 explosion of BP's drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico.
The charges allege that they mishandled important safety testing prior to the explosion. They have pleaded not guilty. The delay of the trial, which was originally scheduled to begin in January 2014, came in response to a request for an even longer delay from Kaluza and Vidrine's defense team.

Greek future in the balance as voters head to polls
Milos Bicanski/Getty Images
Supporters wave flags as they attend a Syriza Party pre-election party rally held by Alexis Tsipras on June 14, 2012 in Athens, Greece.The Greek electorate are due to go to the polls in a re-run of the general election on June 17, 2012 after no combination of political parties were able to form a coalition government. Recent opinion polls have placed the anti-bailout party 'Syriza' equal in popularity with the pro-bailout 'New Democracy' ahead of Sunday's general election which could determine whether Greece retains the Euro as its currency.
This weekend, Greek voters will choose a new government and the possible outcomes are causing major anxiety for countries looking to save the flailing Euro.
If voters choose politicians who reject austerity measures, as promoted by the surging far-left party Syriza, the bail-out agreement could dissolve, and that could mean the beginning of the end of Europe's unified currency.
Germany, home to the Eurozone's strongest economy, has led the bailout negotiations, but yesterday, Chancellor Angela Merkel said her country's strength was not infinite and that weak governments needed to fix their finances.
Germany hasn't directly paid for the bailouts, but it does guarantee about 25 percent of the loans. Which means, if a country defaults, Germany and other EU lenders would be on the hook for paying that money to lenders.
To get some insight, we turn to Nicolas Veron, senior fellow at the Brussels-based think-tank, Bruegel.

Remembering Galina Kozhevnikova as Her Last Report is Presented in Russia
1:35 pm in Uncategorized by PaulLeGendreHRF
Today, the SOVA Center for Information and Analysis presented its latest report on hate crimes in the Russian Federation. The press conference began with a minute of silence honoring the memory of the report's principal author, Galina Kozhevnikova, who passed away in Moscow on March 5 after long illness .
Galina was a founder and director of SOVA and steered the organization as it established itself as the most important and trusted voice on hate crimes and radical nationalism in Russia. An historian by training, Galina produced groundbreaking research, documenting an upheaval in racist violence that continues to terrorize minorities. According to information gathered by SOVA, hate crimes have claimed as many as many as 470 lives since 2004, while the government's response has been weak and inconsistent. We saw a potent reminder of where racism can lead during last year's race riots in Moscow.

We had a wonderful wedding at Orris House Inn and rented the Inn for the entire weekend. The gardens were lovely, the Inn was wonderful, and Mr. Jackson met our every need to make the wedding a hugh success. The whole wedding party stayed at the Inn and loved their accommodations and breakfasts. The wedding guests were very impressed with the Inn both inside and out. Very clean and well maintained. we will have wonderful memories of the Orris House Inn for years to come!

Orris House Inn was extremely wonderful. Exactly what we were promised for our wedding was exactly what we got. The atomosphere and accomidations were excellent - Kevin and his team went above and beyond for us. We did not have to worry about anything as the staff was very attentive and helpful. They had several options of set up for the wedding and they were open to all of them. The parking situation was tough for unloading but overall the experience was wonderful.

We stayed three nights at Orris House and could not have been more pleased with every aspect. From the moment we walked in and were offered a nice glass of wine, we were smitten. The grounds are beautifully maintained with wildlife (ruffed grouse & wild mallard ducks) enjoying the grounds as much as we did . Kevin Jackson, the innkeeper, went out of his way to accommodate our every request. His gourmet breakfasts were a wonderful way to start the day. Kevin even sent us on our way with a nice "to go" bag for snacking.

Rented the Orris House Inn for a very special family event and it's sucess was due to the advice and service that Kevin and his crew provided. All of the arrangements were made from out of state and the first time we saw the Inn was the morning of the event. It was everything we hoped it would be. Kevin has a beautiful Inn and has done everything right !!! We spent the night as well and the experience was amazing....it is the total package!!!

My wife and I stayed at the Orris House for Valentine's Day. There is no better place in Central Pennsylvania to stay the night in Central Pennsylvania. My wife and I felt so relaxed and at home during our stay. We really appreciated Kevin Jackson's, (Innkeeper) friendship during out stay and we will recommend this establishment to all of our family and friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The house itself is beautiful and lovingly maintained; the decor is perfect-- historically accurate, but not "over the top;" our host was unbelievably gracious and generous.

Orris house is an amazing place to stay, it is warm and welcoming. Staying there is like you found a slice of heaven even though the neighborhood is busy. I recomend this Inn to anyone wanting to stay in Mechanicsburg!!!! Stay there you will not be disappointed!!!!

My husband and I stayed only one night, but it was very romantic and relaxing. We were treated as if we were royalty. The room was very clean and very comfortable. We had a good night sleep and woke to excellent coffee and a gourmet breakfast. We would definitely visit again!
4,8 en junio 08, 2010
I recall the first time we drove up to The Orris House, I was charmed by the beautiful architecture, and taken in with the beautiful outdoor garden. When we entered the Inn, we were overwhelmed by the absolutely incredible ambiance, beauty and warmth and period decor throughout this home. Kevin and his talented artistic wife Barbara were wonderful hosts and couldn't do enough to pamper us with homemade treats, gourmet breakfast and fine wine. And the beds! Fine linens and incredibly comfortable. I wouldn't have gotten out of bed if it weren't for the fresh hot coffee delivered to my door when I requested it! We booked the Inn the following season for a graduation celebration. Kevin and I discussed the details of the weekend, which included accomodating my family members and a special reception brunch. He was so easy to work with. Don't be misled by his laid back attitude! His attention to detail is incredible and he makes it look and feel easy and very comfortable. This is how I would run an Inn if I did, but it was so much nicer being the guest on the receiving end.
5 en febrero 16, 2010
We could not have been more pleased with all aspects of our experience. The Innkeepers are flexible, customer-oriented, and skilled at managing events. The Inn looked lovely, and their recommendations for caterers, florists, bakers, etc. were all right on the mark. They handled our Friday night overnight guests exceptionally well, in addition to planning and preparing for the Saturday night event and again that evening, overnight guests! We feel confident in recommending this venue for a quiet B & B experience of a celebratory event!

File under Colombia: soaring Andean summits, unspoiled Caribbean coast, enigmatic Amazon jungle, cryptic archaeological ruins, and cobbled colonial communities. Colombia boasts all of South America's allure and more.
A wealth of ancient civilizations left behind a fascinating spread of archaeological and cultural sites throughout Colombia. The one-time Tayrona capital, Ciudad Perdida, built between the 11th and 14th centuries, is one of the continent's most mysterious and lovingly preserved ancient cities, arguably second only to Machu Picchu. Even more shrouded in mystery is San Agustín, where more than 500 life-sized, ancient, sculpted statues of enigmatic origin dot the surrounding countryside. And then there's Tierradentro, where elaborate underground tombs scooped out by an unknown people add even more mystique to Colombia's past. Mix in the influences of Spanish colonizers, African slaves, 20th-century European and Middle Eastern immigrants and large, intact indigenous groups like La Guajira Peninsula's Wayuu, and you get a rich recipe complex in both form and function. This intoxicating cocktail unravels in the food, music, architecture and lifestyles that shake and stir the melting pot of contemporary Colombia.
The country's varied terrain is fertile ground for outdoor adventure and Colombia dives, climbs, rafts, treks and soars with reckless abandon. The undisputed adventure capital is San Gil, but the country boasts alfresco pleasures in all corners. Two of the continent's iconic treks are here, both dramatically different: Ciudad Perdida is a five-/six-day jungle walk to the ancient ruins of the Tayrona civilization, while the weeklong Güicán–El Cocuy trek places intrepid hikers on the highest reaches of the country's Andean mountaintops. Providencia's world-class reef spells aquatic heaven for scuba divers, while whale-watchers journey to Colombia's Pacific coast to see majestic humpbacks in the wild.
Colombia's equatorial position affords it a diversity of landscapes matched by few countries. A slight tinkering in altitude takes you from sun-toasted Caribbean sands to coffee-strewn, emerald-green hilltops in the Zona Cafetera. Continue to climb and there's Bogotá, the bustling cradle of Colombia and the third-highest capital city in the world. Throw in another few thousand meters and you'll find snowcapped peaks, high-altitude lakes and the eerie, unique vegetation of the páramo (high-mountain plains). Then the bottom drops out as the Andes give way to Los Llanos, a 550,000-sq-km swath of tropical grasslands shared with Venezuela and often called the Serengeti of South America. From the towering dune desertscapes of Punta Gallinas to the Amazon jungle, Colombia's kaleidoscopic range of color and landscape has few rivals.

The Rubin Journey of the Blue Buddha
Journey of the Blue Buddha
Price: $15.00
2006, Canada, Tetsuya Itano and Aerlyn Weissman, 47 min.
Twelve hundred years ago, the people of Tibet developed a comprehensive medical system whose practitioners understood how powerfully the mind affects the body. They made medicines from plants and minerals blessed in lengthy rituals. They encoded this knowledge in a series of elaborate paintings known as The Atlas of Tibetan Medicine.
At a time when European doctors dissected corpses in secret and herbalists were being burned at the stake, Tibetan medicine flourished. Its monk doctors traveled throughout Central Asia taking both their spiritual and health practices with them. With the British invasion in 1904 and the Chinese invasion in 1959, vital texts and paintings-and with them, the primary means of teaching Tibetan medicine-survived only because they'd been smuggled into Russia. Unbeknownst to Stalin, the cloth panels of The Atlas had been secreted into museum archives in Siberia and quietly spared from his purges.
The Journey of the Blue Buddha surveys the evolving practice of Tibetan medicine in today's Chinese-controlled Tibet, as well as in the exile community of Dharamsala, India, the Russian republic of Buryatia and North America. With its message of natural healing, human connection and right living, Tibetan medicine is all the more precious for having nearly been lost. This film is distributed by Moving Images Distribution. Post-screening discussion with Joe Loizzo.
About the Speaker
Joe Loizzo, M.D., Ph.D. is a contemplative psychotherapist, researcher and teacher who integrates ancient contemplative science and technology with current breakthroughs in neuroscience and optimal health.

The environment is important to Canton Public Library and the Canton community. Canton Green Resources:
Beekeeping - Is it for you?
So you've heard about the declining bee populations as well as how important these pollinators are to the environment. One-third of our food supply relies upon them for pollination which is essential for the reproduction of the plants the bees service. If these are not reasons enough to keep bees there is also the delectable honey. If you have been entertaining the idea of keeping bees you probably already know this, but you might not know the next step. First, you should consider the negative aspects of keeping bees. If you are still interested, you'll want to learn about beekeeping and where to get equipment. You can find bees and equipment online, or better yet, from a local provider such as Groeb Farms Bee Supply Store located in Onsted, MI. You may also want to take some classes from someone like Bob the Bee Guy. You can call yourself a beekeeper when you refer to your first bee sting from one of your bees as a "love bite." Good luck!

BB13: Exclusive Interview with Kalia Booker
Check out our exclusive interview with Kalia Booker, the tenth person evicted from the Big Brother 13 house. Submit your questions for the house guests here and tune in for our backyard interviews after the BB13 finale on SuperPass!
In your opinion, what is the best lie you told all season? What was the hardest lie?
The hardest lie was omitting that I knew about the plan to backdoor Jeff when Jeff asked me. I lied by omission by saying "you are not in any danger."
The best lie I told all summer… I told Adam I would take him to the finale two, but I wouldn't have had a problem doing that at the time so it was a true lie.
I realized early on that liars would get called out in this cast so I didn't lie too much.
Rank your top three game players of BB13, regardless of evicted or not
- Daniele
- Rachel
- Me
- Jeff (honorable mention)
What was your favorite moment in the house?
The double eviction and controlling that entire show – when Porsche, Adam and Shelly thought we would be getting the remaining vets out. Before Pandora's Box. And winning my first HOH was pretty euphoric.
What was your biggest move in the game?
My biggest move in the game was leaving the safety of the vets to play my own game and getting some big players in the game – me or my alliance got rid of Brendon (twice) and Jeff. Hands down, the reason I become the biggest threat was the fast forward double eviction.
Who do you think is playing the best social game?
Jordan. Absolutely – that's why she gets to the end every time. She is sweet. She is a good person and is nice to everyone. America loves her, how could anyone in the house not love her.
Who do you think is the best physical competitor?
The best physical players of the season were Jeff and Brendon.
What was the most difficult competition?
The most difficult competition was the picnic one, for sure. It was impossible. And the Big Brother bakery was the hardest 13 minutes of my life.
What was the most difficult part of playing this game?
The list goes on and on, but if I had to pick only one, the hardest part of Big Brother is being apart from everyone in your life who keeps you strong, happy and sane. And the fact you can't really trust anyone in the house with you.
Do you have any regrets?
I try very hard to live my life without any regrets, you can't redo it so why bother? My only regret is that I got evicted and didn't win.
If you could go back, what would you change?
I would have gotten Rachel out of the house. You make the decision you have to make with the information that you have at the time, so its hard to say b/c hindsight is always 20/20.

"I made these for an early Thanksgiving/Birthday party and even people who dont usually like tomatoes loved these. I got them a bit messy stuffing them but they were light and yummy. I may even try them with some light ranch instead of mayo next time. I would make them again and I am having to pass the recipe because it was so good. Thanks!!!"
"I make this recipe all the time for my family. Half the crushed red pepper flakes for kid friendly. I added a bag of frozen stir fry veggies at the end and it works wonderful. The recipe sure doesn't need help but it goes further with the veggies when you have a lot of kids. Thanks!"

10another, nother RAST
Materials: Rast, paint, stain, leather belt*, hammer and nail, drill, scissors
Description: For this project, I drew from a number of previously featured hacks and projects. My ideas here aren't super original, but I think the combination is.
1. Assembled Rast
2. Painted and stained – 2 coats of Ben Moore pure white on the body 2 coats of a dark stain on the drawers (wait for it to dry now!)
3. Cut leather belt into 12.25″ segments (used regular scissors).
4. Poked holes about a quarter inch from the end of the belt using a hammer & nail
5. Drilled included screws through leather into existing knob holes. I used the included knobs on the INSIDE of the dresser, to cover the exposed/pointy end of the screws.
*I was lucky enough to be able to use one (long!) belt that I got at the thrift store for $3. It might also look cool with 3 different belts?
See more of the Rast with leather belts.

Oh, imagine those handles using a leather belt strap that has designs on it! Yeah! Good Job!
Did you use a polyurethane over the stain?
What color stain did you use? Love it!

Hi everyone,
I have been a member of GardenWeb for a couple years now, but I don't usually post anything. I am more of a reader. I absolutely love the information I find on this forum. I was wondering if anyone could help me identify my fish. I have goldfish and I think most of them are common goldfish, but there are a couple of them that I am not sure about. One has a fancy looking tail and the other one has a lot of black and looks a little different. I will post a pic that has the two fish circled that I want to identify. I will also post a closer pic of them. The last pic is a group pic. Can you tell if they are all common goldfish. I apologize for the quality of these pics. The fish won't hold still very long and my camera isn't that great. Thanks for any help you can give me.
The spot on the head of the black and orange fish is just some fish food floating in the pond. I was thinking that the white fish in the pic above may not be a common goldfish either. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The red and white goldfish looks like a sarassa goldfish. Many of the decendents of my Sarassa's turn out all white or with just a red blotch somewhere on it's body. The other fish may not have fully changed from its juvenile dark gray color. Latest mine have ever changed was by the second year. Very pretty color as it is. |
Frogman, Thank you so much. I looked sarassa goldfish up and they look just like them. I was kind of hoping that the one with all the black would stay that way, but I know that it is a big possibility that it won't. Thanks again, |

I had a black one that stayed black. She was my stealth fish. Here's one picture of her where she shows up. Although many of the black fish turn orange, she never did. One of her babies I called "Bones" because it was pinkish-white and you could see its spine and ribs. It looked like the whiteish one in your picture |
Pashta, Wow, I love that fish. I would love to find one like that. When I go to buy my fish I try to buy the most unique one I can find. Although I always keep in mind that they might not stay the same color. |
- Posted by sharon_9_fl z9 FL (My Page) on Thu, Jun 9, 11 at 14:53
How old are your fish? I've admired baby black and orange goldfish, but assumed they would all turn completely orange. I'd love to have one like yours! Your fish are commons (also called hibuna) and comets. The difference is the length of the tail. A proper hibuna has a tail no more than 1/4 the length of the body and the lobes are rounded as in a wild carp. A longer tail, particularly one that is deeply forked, makes it a comet. Ideally, the tail of a comet will be at least 1/2 the length of the body. Some have tails as long as, or longer than, the body. Sarasa simply means red and white. The sarasa comet you have circled is beautiful. Is the white comet all white or does it have a red spot on it's head? The white ones are so pretty in a pond. |
Sharon, Thank you for clearing up the difference for me. I like to be able to tell people exactly what kind of fish I have when they ask. I just love the tails on them. I have three that are that way and I would love to get some more. Truthfully I don't know how old they all are. I have had the all white one, the big orange and white one and a couple of other ones for two years. The other ones are all new ones that I got this year. Is there a way for me to tell how old they are? The all white one has no orange on her. Although it does look like she some pink on her sometimes. She was full of eggs recently, but she doesn't seem to have them anymore. I am assuming all of the eggs got eaten up before they could even hatch. I saw her being chased around the pond one day, but I never saw any eggs. Here is a closer look at her. Thanks again, Teresa |
- Posted by sharon_9_fl z9 FL (My Page) on Thu, Jun 9, 11 at 23:49
If they were tiny fish when you got them, it's quite reasonable to say they are two years old. I have an all-white comet, who is quite pink. He's beautiful. |
- Posted by pashta_2006 Z4 ADK NY (email@example.com) on Sun, Jun 12, 11 at 7:49
tes, Molly, the black fish, came in as an egg on a plant. I put the plants in a big blue tub full of water as I dug the pond and when I went to put the plants in the finished pond a couple of weeks later there were about 40 baby fish. She was one of them. She was beautiful. Anne |

I'm not googling the right terms. Can anyone say where in Texas tindora, or ivy gourd, has become invasive? Does it have a northern or western boundary beyond which it will not invade due to cold or lack of water? Thank you. |

Merry, sorry you didn't get an answer to your question. I didn't even know what tindora was until I looked it up on google. |
Here is a link that might be useful: About tindora on google ... with lots of recipes ...
I googled too and found nothing specific to areas of Texas. |
- Posted by merrybookwyrm 7/8 dfw (My Page) on Fri, Jun 17, 11 at 15:02
Thank you all for the help. Someone posted on wikipedia some time back that tindora is invasive in Texas, Florida, and-- I think-- Hawaii, but the article didn't include which areas of Texas and Florida were at risk. The usda invasives site and the tamu site don't seem to include tindora as invasive. But I may not be using those sites correctly. |

Laura, I don't know what to say to help you through this time. But know I will be thinking of you, you were the first to talk to me and always have kind words for me and everyone. Take care of yourself. Mindy |
It seems so unfair that we have them for such a short while; and that the intensity of the communion we feel with our 4-legged confederates is at its strongest at that place in time when the animated bond is broken. I understand that his parting leaves its bite on the heart, but I have little doubt that one day you'll meet up again with Pepper. If you can keep that faith, you'll know that your Pepper's absence is much the same as his being off on a temporary ramble abroad. Al |
Laura, that was so kind, but all I did was share my experience with my best friend, who I lost last year, and shared some thoughts. Pepper got so much love from you, up until the very last moment. He was a lucky dog to have you, as were you, to have one such as he. It will take time, but you will come to a point were you can think about all the joy he gave you for all those years, and not just the pain of the last few days. The time will come. Sounds like you picked a wonderful last resting place for his body. You can tell what a sweet dog he was from the pics. |
That was such a sad story. I am at work and teared up. Lucky nobody saw ...haha...anyway i have such a strong bond with my pets and loosing one is the equivalent of loosing a family member. I would be distraught. My thoughts go out to you in this hard time and yes im sure he is on the rainbow bridge waiting for you :') Sarah |

Laura, What a very sad and tragic story. I've never heard of that happening. Perhaps his age had something to do with it? Cat's are made of rubber I swear. But older dogs, probably not so much. Pepper was lucky to have you as his 'master'. I can't even imagine the difficult choice that had to be made. Thninking of you and hoping that hole in your heart is filled with good things. Hug that little grandson for us! Dave |
Laura, I'm so sorry that you lost Pepper, but what a blessing to get to hold him at the end. He certainly knew he was loved! |
Hi Laura, I am so sorry for your loss! I can only say that you are such a wonderful person and I know your heart will heal. If there is anything I can do for you, you let me know! Andrew |
Biggest of all big ((((HUGS))) to you my friend. I'm so sorry for your loss, it is a pain like no other. I hope your heart can be comforted with the memories you two shared, and knowing he is always with you. |

Laura, my utmost of condolences for the loss of your beloved little friend! I also understand the agonizing grief of having to make such a decision (had to do the same 5 yrs ago for my first dog). Whatever small consolation this may be, you can take heart that Pepper isn't suffering anymore & that he lived a wonderful life surrounded by an equally wonderful family that loved & cared for him. I believe he knew that too ;). May the good Lord comfort you & wrap His loving arms around you & your family ((((hugs)))). Bless you ~ Angharand |

You are so sweet as always!!! So glad to know you!! Mindy.. I remember talking to you for the first time and i always remember the first time someone responded to me. I always want people to feel welcome just as they did for me when i first came here. Sometimes it feels like it is hard to get a god feel on people, so i always like to help as much as possible and i remember that you followed our advice and now look how you grow!!! : ) I am so proud of you accomplishments. Thank you for you kind words.. Hi AL.. Thank you for your continued support. You have had this loss as well and i know you understand the pain that comes with losing a best friend. ALl i can think about is that he will be there at some point waiting.. Thank you for all that you do and for your kind words. I do appreciate them very much. SImi (George) You have helped me in so many ways with your beautiful story of Riley. I read that story before i had to put down Pep and it gave me so much strenght as well as a sence of peace that i can't explain. I will always be grateful for you reaching out to me. Thank you so much!!! Ill be waiting on that "Rainbow Bridge" Mahalo!! Sarah... i can tell you are a sweetheart.. welcome to our forum and i am so glad to see you post. Thank you for the kind thought for me.. It will take time, but all will be fine. He is at peace...(i am the one that isn't at peace!!!) Hi Dave... My hole will be filled by the love of my Grandson.. you are so right, but it is hard. I guess the tragic way he left and it was so sad to see him like that was the difficult part. Brad wanted to wait, so i had to deal with him and take care of Pep when he was not feeling good. I finally made him see that it isnt about us, it is about them.. so we finally made the decision. He went peacefully in my arms just like any other night... Thank you.. Give Katie a squeeze.. Hi Jen.. it did make me feel good to know that he was relaxed and not afraid. I was worried, but i held my head up as much as possible to do this for Pep. Hardest thing i have ever had to do beside talking my father into letting go when he died from cancer.. oh, the pain. ANdrew,,, You are so sweet and i know you would do anything for me. ai appreciate that very much. I want you to feel better and get strong for your surgery next month. I will be fine, i just need to heal my broken heart. My good friend says that it can take awhile, we just do the best we can and remember the good times.. that is what im doing.. Thank you so much!!! Emily... Thank you for the wonderful kind words of comfort. You are so sweet and i miss seeing you here. Please keep in touch!! ; ) Angharand.. You made me tear up with your beautiful post. Thank you so much.. I hope to see you around here more often. Mahalo!! Thank you Wendy... ANother "sweetie" I have finally realized that i did make the right decision.. my DH kind of made it difficult because he wanted to keep him longer than he should have. I had to convince him that Pep wasnt happy when he couldnt do anything for himself anymore. What kind of masters woud let him live like that? aNot me.. i loved him to much to see him suffer like that. Hard choice, but the right one.. Thank you!! Thank you Butterfly4u.. your words are very comforting and it makes me feel good that you posted just to say hi!! Kindness shows when you just say what is on your mind.. so thank you for taking the time to say what is needed.. it does help me. ALl of your kind words have helped.. I can see the ones here that have posted that are truly special.. Thank you for everything!! It means so much to me. xoxoxox Laura "Thank You" for all of the kind and supportive words to help me deal with lossing my dear friend. It is still hard, but to those who have animals, we all know how close and what love they give and they never ask for anything in return except for good ole love... My Plumeria Protector will be outside watching over all of my garden form now on... I love you Pepper!! |
I'm sorry to hear about your dog Laura. Poor little guy, the thought of him hitting his little head... :( I know how it feels to loose a pet. I lost a calico cat that I loved very much 6 years ago in September from an illness. She meant a lot to me an I cried like a baby for several days because she was special to me. But luckily 9 months later I found (well not literally found, I got her from a breeder) a new feline friend who means just as much to me as my previous one and much more. She is like a little person in a cat suit who follows you around like a dog -- sometimes I swear she is a little dog in some ways. :) It's now been 5 years since I've had her and she is still spry as a little kitten. Below is a picture of the one that mended my heart from my previous lost. |

Laura, my heart goes out to you. I have been where you are. It was a hard decision, but it was the right one. Pepper went to sleep, knowing you were there. His spirit will remain with you forever. Barbra |

Hi Kim... Thank you!! I love your new little feline friend!! She is beautiful!! Love her eyes!!! Im sure one day i will have a new friend, but for now... i will wait. Barbra...You are so nice!!! I always enjoyy receiving an email from you!! You are so willing to help everyone out.. I think you are a very generous kind, giving soul!! Thank you for all you do!! I hope you feel better. My mother's surgery on her shoulder was postponed because of a blood count issue that will be checked next week. Hopefully she will be fine for surgery at a latter date. Seems the White cell count was low.. UGGG! K, thanks for the kind email.. You are so nice!! I reply soon!! My eyes are getting tired now.. Thank you to all that truly care.. I can tell the ones who are dogs lovers and or animal lovers.. Thank you for the kind post!! Everyday is a better day.. right Jen? Simi, What can i possibly say? I loved that arrangement!! it was so beautiful and when i opened my email i was flying and i know everyone looked at me cux my eyes were full of tears.. SOOO sweet! I love those colors. I owe you an email too. Im so tired now, but i will get to you tomorrow. I had a busy afternoon and my garden buddy wore me out!!! ;-) Take care everyone!!! Laura I do have some good news.. MY JL DON HO has Rooted finally!!! YEA!!!! |
Hello Laura, I've been away for a while and was heart broken to see this news. I too lost a beloved pet this year after 13 wonderful years. It certainly leaves a huge hole not only in your heart but also in the daily life in the house..... It took me two weeks to finally stop preparing a bowl of food for him when I fed my 2 other dogs. I would start and suddenly realize that he was no longer there. You are in my thoughts and my heart goes out to you :( Nicole |
- Posted by Minderella 9 Lake County FL (My Page) on Fri, Nov 30, 12 at 21:21
Laura, Congrats on you Don Ho rooting. My Celadine and Divine are still flowering but very light colors. Mindy |
- Posted by loveplants2 8b Virginia Beach, (My Page) on Sat, Dec 1, 12 at 0:19
Thanks Nicole... It is hard. I constanty look in the covers on the couch to make sure im not sitting on him..then i remember.. when i go out to the garage, i stop to make sure he/or was inside before i locked up.. i hope this will end soon. I also think about feeding. My hubby swears that he heard him bark the othernight.. i know, strange... I am truly sorry for your loss.. they are our family!!! Thank you so much!! You are such a nice person.. how are you doing? Plumies? Metallica? ;-) I hope you are doing well and i cant wait to see pics of your trees!! This year will be a wonderful year for you!!! Laura |
Laura, I've only had one long-term pet and we had to put him down six years ago. To this day we still can't bring ourselves to get rid of his things. Every once in a while I run across his old toys and yesterday I found some of his fur in an old paper bag--his favorite "hiding place". And Nicole, I'm so sorry you lost a friend, too, but so nice to see you back here! It was months before I stopped expecting to feel a little paw patting me when I sat on the sofa, begging for an ear scratch! Thankfully, it does get a tiny bit better every day. And thankfully we have good friends who surprise us ;) |

Aloha dear Laura! How are you fairing dear heart? I went through the same thing when I had to put down my first dog; for about a month afterwards we kept thinking we saw him out of the corner of our eye in the hallway or we'd hear him bark, or see him running in the yard. I was still arranging my schedule around when he had to be fed & I would still try to avoid where he used to lay every night when I'd come downstairs. I knew it was his time to go & had made my peace with it but the hardest thing afterwards was seeing how it affected my folks who were very attached to that dog. It's strange how the human heart acknowledges loss more readily than the mind is able to. Time may ease it but never erase it. I'm happy to see there's so many wonderful, caring people on here to bolster one another when the chips are down :). God bless each of you. ~ Angharand (or Ang or MMP, whichever is easier). |

It's difficult to appreciate just how long the A8L is until you stand next to it...or attempt to park it in your garage. Perhaps this will provide some perspective: the A8L's wheelbase and overall length are within a half an inch of the three-row, eight passenger Honda Odyssey minivan. In other words, they aren't kidding around when they added the "L" to the name. Hip and headroom are plentiful, although as in the A7 the wide console in between the front seats -- which houses the MMI dial flanked by related buttons and now the touch pad -- makes the driver's seat feel tighter than it should in such a big car. The upside is that this large area provides another place to use the gorgeous, matte wood veneer that we loved in the A7.
Jennifer Misaros, Managing Editor, Digital Platforms
Audi has quickly become my favorite luxury automaker. Jaguar might have a better-performing CEO-class sedan, but the human-machine interface inside an XJ frustrates me too much. Audi manages to deliver lots of technology in a very easy to use package that doesn't distract a driver. And the A8 is hardly a chore to drive.
What really stands out in the 2011 Audi A8L are the exceptional materials used in the cabin. Audi has a very strong reputation for interiors and it is well deserved. Every surface feels special and the interior is very well laid out. To top it off, opt for the $1500 alcantara headliner -- it's the ultimate tactile sensation for those looking to upgrade an interior. Using Audi's new touch-sensitive input pad for the infotainment system feels a bit odd at first, but the system works very well and is quite accurate at deciphering the letters and numbers you form on the pad. It's a rare instance of touch-sensitive technology working well in a car, but it's not surprising that Audi got it right.
Audi makes good use of an aging 4.2-liter V-8 by adding direct injection and pairing the engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Though the A8L isn't a small car, it manages better combined fuel economy than an Acura TL while providing an extra 67 horsepower and weighing a few hundred pounds more. The V-8 doesn't compare so well to BMW's twin-turbo unit, but Audi's choice of normal aspiration makes the A8 much smoother to drive around town where the BMW feels very peaky and unnatural. Of course driving any of these limos around town almost seems like a waste of potential.

Follow up to recommendations
Article 14, paragraph 1, of the Convention states that:
"The Standing Committee shall be responsible for following the application of this Convention. It may in particular : (...)- make recommendations to the Contracting Parties concerning measures to be taken for the purposes of this Convention; (...)."
In accordance with the practice that has developed in recent years, the Standing Committee adopts two types of recommendation:
general recommendations
pursuant to its general programme of action (recommendations arising in particular from meetings of groups of experts, the work of consultants or seminars);
specific recommendations
following its examination of a file which it has decided to consider. Specifically addressed to one or more Contracting Parties, these recommendations concern situations in which the implementation of the Convention raises, in a particular case, problems over the conservation of flora, fauna, or a natural habitat (for example, unsatisfactory protection of a species of fauna in a specified location).
The recommendations constitute essential means of giving substance to the provisions of the Convention and may even constitute, in time, international customary law. The monitoring of their follow-up is therefore fundamental.
The Standing Committee also adopts guidelines. Though more detailed than general recommendations, they nevertheless have comparable standing. They offer guidance to the Contracting Parties on the action to be taken.
General recommendations and guidelines
The follow-up to general recommendations or guidelines takes place mainly through general four-yearly reports in which the Contracting Parties concerned are invited to describe the legal and/or other measures taken to comply with the policies they propose.
With the agreement of the Bureau, the Secretariat prepares a "Summary of General Recommendations/Guidelines" containing, for each of them :
the text of the general recommendation/guideline;
the information provided by the Contracting Party or Parties concerned and any expert's report that may have been prepared; and
a proposal that also takes account of any other available information.
It is the responsibility of the Standing Committee, in the light of this information and after discussion, to decide - by consensus or in the absence of the consensus, by a two-thirds majority of the votes cast, as required under Rule 8 b. of the Rules of Procedure - on any measures which ought to be taken in respect of each general recommendation/guideline (plan or programme of action, strategy, training courses, technical or financial assistance, expert report, etc.).
Where the follow-up to a general recommendation/guideline proves to be no longer necessary, the Standing Committee may decide - by consensus, or in the absence of consensus by a two-thirds majority of the votes cast, as required under Rule 8 b. of the Rules of Procedure - to consider that implementation is satisfactory.
Specific recommendations
For the purpose of following up specific recommendations, the Secretariat writes to the Contracting Parties concerned asking them to submit a report summarising the legal and/or other measure or measures adopted to comply with the policies laid down in those recommendations.
After receiving the reports, within a period of about four months, the Secretariat prepares, with the agreement of the Bureau, a "Summary of Specific Recommendations" containing, for each of them :
the text of the recommendation;
the report submitted by the Contracting Party or Parties concerned, any excessively bulky appendices or documentation included with the report being kept available for consultation at the Secretariat; and
a proposal that also takes account of any other available information.
The Standing Committee decides in the light of this document and after discussion whether, in the case of each recommendation, the measure or measures adopted by the Contracting Party or Parties concerned are sufficient or not.
It decides by consensus, or in the absence of consensus by a two-thirds majority of the votes cast, as required under Rule 8 b. of the Rules of Procedure:
a) if the measures taken by the Contracting Party(ies) are sufficient, to consider that the implementation of the specific recommendation is satisfactory and to close the file (see paragraph 10 above);
b) if, on the contrary, they are insufficient, to consider that the Contracting Party(ies) has(have) failed to comply with its(their) obligations under the Convention in the case concerned.
If paragraph 16 b. above applies, the problem then arises as to the attitude to be taken by the Standing Committee in cases where, despite the maintenance of a specific recommendation, the Contracting Party(ies) to which it is addressed continue(s) not to implement it.
In this connection it is appropriate to refer to Article 18, paragraph 2 of the Convention, which provides for the possibility of recourse to arbitration for any dispute over the interpretation or application of the Convention.
The Standing Committee might look into this possibility and, in certain cases of particular gravity, invite one or more Contracting Parties to set in motion, on behalf of the Standing Committee, the procedure laid down in Article 18 of the Convention.

PENN Battle Spinning Combos
Great reel with a decent rod!
I got the battle 4000 and the reel is amazing. It casts great and retrieves the same. I purchased the 4000 7' medium rod combo and the rod itself is pretty sturdy but a little too stiff for my taste. Great for dropping bait but not for working the grass and around structure. It isn't that sensitive either. Either way its a great value I'm just nit picking what I'd like out of it. Give it a shot!

Solid performer, great value for the money
This is the third Penn Battle I have purchased. I fish over 40 times in the Keys. The smaller 3000 is great on speckled trout and yellowtail snapper. The 5000 works great on the reef and with finesse, a smooth drag, and a little luck I've boated some nice mackerel and cobia. Can't beat the performance for the money.
June 27, 2014
Best quality for the Price
I researched the net and talked with fishermen about their recammendations for a rod/ reel combo for my wife and I to start fishing.
I choose the Penn Battle based on the above research.
I could not be more pleased with the quality of this combo set and price at Dick's. Could not be beat !!
June 2, 2014
well balanced
loaded the battle 2000 with 10 lb power pro and headed to Morehead City. The combo is well balanced and you can cast a 1/4 jig or mirrrolure a mile. Feels just as good with a fish on.
May 15, 2014
Best combo for under $110
Got the BTL 5000 and the Rod on sail through the website. I have many many rods 5-10 times more, but when you can spend a little over a 100 bucks for all around that can you can use for fluke to Jumbo Blues, and stripers on the way, you have something. Thank you Dick's, that's why I got two.
November 28, 2013

Here is the one I made last year for the Fourth. It broke in half over the winter right at the bottom of the red striped. Fortunately nothing broke so I can repair it. Kathy |

Those are some pretty patriotic totems! Maybe some patriotic plate flowers--on wall or yard? |
Love it...With all this rain it makes me feel good looking at them... |
omg! those are gorgeous. i had a blue but it was my first. water got in it and it froze and broke. gotta go to dollar and TS this week. i love those totems! |
looking through the inspiration album. i have a screen and this is so cute! do y'all think i could use acrylic paints? |
- Posted by concretenprimroses 4B NH (My Page) on Wed, May 4, 11 at 21:19
Its worth a try. Some acrylic paints last out side and toehrs dont. If you are putting it on your porch that could make a difference. You could try and if it fades, repaint. I have some rocks I painted with regular craft paint that have lasted outside. Kathy |
- Posted by jeannespines 4 (My Page) on Wed, May 4, 11 at 21:38
I posted this a few yrs ago...painted a pc of old barnwood w/shades of blue...added those "glow-in-the'dark" stars & such ...& put a wire hanger on the back...for in the gardens...the stars did shine in the dark for quite some time! Jeanne S. |
Patio or Folk Art Outdoor craft paints will work. I painted paver ladybug & she still looks great been 2 yrs I think! Jan |

Cross Country Solo Flight
Time (to date): 14 weeks
Money (to date): $3,240
Flight Hours Logged (to date): 24.4
I have now satisfied all of the flight requirements in becoming a Sport Pilot! Specifically, the 20 total flight hours, 5 solo hours, 10 take-offs and landings, and the 1 solo cross country flight. All that is left now is my checkride.
The solo cross country was a very pleasant 3 hour adventure from West Desert to Richfield, UT. In fact, it was a little too pleasant. Flight training so far has been nonstop, high intensity flying with a whole bunch of maneuvers keeping me on my toes. This was the first time I've been able to just cruise along for a while without having to do much. Complacency got the best of me, and I wound up screwing up in several ways when it came time to land in Richfield. I forgot to check the weather on AWOS while coming in, which meant my altimeter was off on approach. I flew the traffic pattern about 300 feet higher than I should have and was way too close to the runway on the downwind. Richfield is a 6,600 foot runway – I landed about 5,000 feet down the runway. I almost missed the longest runway I've ever landed on. The icing on the cake was that I didn't get the plane aligned with the runway on touchdown, which caused quite the jerking sensation that I never hope to feel again.
Here is an illustration of my poor approach to help you visualize:
So considering how poorly it went, it went pretty well. I've practiced with Larry again since the solo cross country, working more on landings and practicing some of the maneuvers that will be on my checkride. I'm doing my best to make sure that getting a Sport Pilot License is not going to be a bad thing for public safety and society in general.
I'll leave you with a video. This one features clips from my early morning preparations for the cross country solo and a touch-and-go into Nephi from the flight as well. I wasn't recording during the Richfield landing unfortunately. I know you wanted to see that, but that's too bad.

text: The following is a recap of some of the goings-on in Washington D.C during the last week, as reported in the National Write Your Congressman Congressional Review & Preview Report: Farm Bill Becomes Law: The Senate passed the long-awaited five-year $956 billion agricultural and nutritional bill and sent it to the President for a signature on Feb. 4. The House-passed legislation provides a financial cushion for farmers who face unpredictable weather and market conditions, but the bulk of the bill's cost is for the food stamp program, which aids one in seven Americans. The final version replaces direct crop payments with an insurance program and trims $8 billion from food stamps over the next decade. Many Republicans wanted a $40 billion cut, while many Democrats aimed at a $4 billion cut. NLRB Reviving Fiercely Debated Rule: The National Labor Relations Board is reviving a rule designed to speed up union elections that it was forced to drop in 2011 after a federal district court said the board lacked a quorum because President Obama's 2012 recess nominations were unconstitutional. The rule would limit the appeals available to employers until after a union election is held and would require companies to provide e-mail addresses and phone numbers of workers to organizers and to expand the use of electronic filing during the run-up to an election. Long-term Unemployment Insurance: The Senate stalled on a three-month extension of assistance for the long-term unemployed, leaving it unlikely that Congress would approve the measure soon. Four million people are on the long-term unemployed rolls. Medical Preparedness Act: The House passed a bill meant to ensure homeland security grant dollars, are available for medical preparedness activities, including the purchase of vital medical equipment and supplies used by first responders. The Sportsmen's Act: The House passed a measure that would protect the traditional use of lead ammunition and fishing tackle. $2 Billion possibly at stake on health insurance co-ops: A House oversight committee said taxpayers could be responsible for $2 billion in loans to health insurance co-operatives. So far, the Department of Health and Human Services has provided $2.1 billion to establish 23 health co-ops, meant to bring more competition to the exchanges. Medicare Payment Policy decided, but not funding: Bipartisan leadership of three Senate and House committees has reached a deal on policy that would reward doctors for quality of care provided, rather than quantity, as is currently the policy. Funding for the more than $200 billion program has not yet been addressed. G.I. Fairness: The House passed a bill that would require public institutions of higher learning to charge in-state tuition rates to all veterans in order for the school to receive G.I. Bill payments.
