Quoted from lblackbu Other suggestions for a fat burner with documented result that will produce result for my blood type?
Quoted from John_McDonell_O+ Hi EquiPro,... really do not know the chemical mechanism involved ... but ghee which is mostly the fat butyric acid is the same beneficial fat made by intestinal microbes. It is also the major source of energy for all the cells of the GI tract .... to me this means it will peak the functioning of the GI tract .... without using any insulin at all. {It is the insulin that opens the doors of fat-cells to store fat. This is good for late autumn, but not so good for Springtime.}John
Quoted Text The human body requires intake of both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, and ghee comes closest to having the right ratio of these types of acids (about 60-65% saturated fats, mostly short-chain fatty acids, and 27% monounsaturated fats).
Quoted Text Butyrate, one of the short-chain fatty acids, could be significant, as it has anti-neoplastic (prevent malignant growth) properties butyric acid/butyrate, produced during fermentation, reduces colonic pH and inhibits secondary bile acids that are carcinogenic.
Quoted Text It [ghee] contains 2-3% conjugated linoleic acid, a chemical that may have anticarcinogenic properties.
Quoted from connect14 In regards to this statement: since carbs trigger insulin release, does this mean that when eating carbs, the subsequent release of insulin will ALWAYS store them as fat? If one works out a lot, wouldn't these carbs be used for fuel, as opposed to being stored as fat?
Quoted from connect14 My primary goal in working out right now is fat burning and increasing lean muscle mass.
Quoted from connect14 That's my carb intake. Do you think I need to up it? I sometimes wonder if i eat ENOUGH?
Quoted from lblackbu Don - Excellent point - I will have to find a good source for grass fed meats.Sam - I have done all kinds of searches on the net and I can't find the ban on CLA.Can you provide any links that I could read regarding the negative effects of CLA?Lynda
Quoted Text Do you mind my asking how old you are? How long have you been on the BTD? Have you ever used Deflect-A if so how much/long?
Quoted Text If you are already in reasonably good condition, which it sounds like you are, do you realize that it is difficult to achieve great results with both of these goals at the same time? You would be better off alternating between the two goals every other week or two, shifting your workouts and diet to match your goal during that cycle.
Quoted Text That is hard for me to answer specifically without knowing a lot more about you and all your activities including workouts. How do you feel? As I said before I would adjust your carb intake based on your fat loss or workout performance goals. Have you tried eating more, or less? If so, what happened?
Quoted Text I'm curious, have you tried drinking your lemon water before your workouts? I would think that would be beneficial, stimulating your system/liver before working out.
Quoted Text I would try to limit tuna to maybe once a week for a couple of reasons. One, it may be higher in mercury then some fish choices. Two, it is only a neutral. Have you tried sardines or mackerel?
Quoted Text I didn't really notice much in the way of beans/legumes in your meals. Do you eat them? They are a good source of protein and other beneficial nutrients for you. Do you eat soy? Soy and mushrooms are indicated to help improve insulin metabolism in type As.
Quoted Text I assume you aren't eating any wheat.
Quoted Text What are you doing to control your stress/cortisol level? Are you getting enough sleep? Are you doing enough yoga? Controlling stress/cortisol is very important in weight management for a type A, both from a standpoint of storing fat and burning muscle as fuel.
Quoted Text Ar you using any supplements? LR4YT pages 227-8 and the Metabolic Enhancement Protocols offer suggestions that might be beneficial for you and your situation.

I just got a Tahitian Flame today. Not in the greatest shape. A lot of brown leaves. I plan on repotting it into a larger container, should I cut back the brown leaves or wait till spring to do that. If I cut it back it would leave it with no leaves.
Thanks for any help. Katie |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hmmm..... I am assuming you have grown other Hedychium gingers in zone 5a? Are you growing these as houseplants, in a greenhouse...? Hedychiums don't normally go dormant unless they die back from freezing (like they can here in winter...but they come right back when it warms up). But in your case, with the daylength getting so short as it is now, your plant's growth is going to be slower than if it were Spring or SUmmer. The leaves may be all brown for a variety of reasons...if those stalks already bloomed, then they are finished completely, and need to be totally removed anyway. If they got sunburned, and were unbloomed stalks, well, they are not going to grow back. If the plant was just generally neglected and started to wane, repotting might help, you need to take a look at the rhizomes and make certain they are healthy, but with the coming of winter pretty soon, my bet is you aren;t going to see any major new growth anyway. I have this ginger, its really pretty. If it were me, I would just repot it and leave it alone. |
Thank you Bihai, I think the brown on mine might be coming from the cold weather. We had a slight frost while back and some pretty cold nights now. The leaves all have brown on them, no flowers stalks at all. Maybe to short of a growing season here in northern IL. I am not familiar with Gingers. This was a rescue before it went to the compost pile at work. I will repot and wait till spring to do any trimming. |

A document described as a least agreement, if it is intended as a lease, which provides for the construction of a mausoleum by an unincorporated company in a cemetery owned by a third class city and which provides for the sale of the crypts by the company as a cemetery authority is invalid, because it attempts to authorize the operation of a private cemetery during the period of the lease by individuals who cannot qualify under the law as a cemetery authority. If it is intended as a construction contract, the agreement is invalid because it violates the provisions of RCW 68.24.140. In either event it is invalid because it attempts to create on behalf of the city an endowment care fund which the city is not authorized by law to maintain.

November 20, 1956
Honorable Hans M. BielskiSecretary, The Cemetery BoardP.O. Box 218Aberdeen, Washington Cite as: AGO 55-57 No. 343
Dear Sir:
By letter previously acknowledged you have requested an opinion as to whether a certain agreement entered into between a city of the third class and a partnership described as a company is legal.
You have submitted with your request a copy of the agreement involved and copies of the correspondence between the city and the Cemetery Board. The document submitted is described as a lease agreement and when condensed to its essential terms and provisions is as follows:
The agreement is between a city of the third class, as lessor, and a copartnership as lessee. For the sake of brevity, we will hereinafter refer to the parties as the city and the company.
The document denominated a lease is for a term of fifteen years, beginning on the 30th day of July, 1956, and ending on July 30, 1971, with the qualification that if the crypts provided for in the agreement are all sold and disposed of at an earlier date, the agreement shall terminate as of the earlier date. As consideration for the agreement, the company is to construct a mausoleum on a certain described portion of the city cemetery, which mausoleum shall contain 100 crypts and 400 niches; the title to the niches shall vest in the city upon the completion of the mausoleum and the city has the exclusive right to sell and keep the proceeds from the sale of the niches. The title to the entire structure shall pass to the city upon the termination of the agreement.
The company, in paragraph 5 of the agreement, is given the [[Orig. Op. Page 2]] exclusive right during the term thereof to sell all crypts in the mausoleum and to receive the proceeds from the sale thereof. The company further has the right to sell said crypts on contract and issue certificates entitling the purchasers to use or occupy such crypts for entombment purposes forever.
Paragraph 6 of the agreement provides for the creation of a trust fund in which shall be deposited the proceeds from the sale of all crypts less the ten percent of such sale price which is to be paid to the city for deposit in an endowment care fund. Such payments constitute a portion of the rental to be paid by the company for the use of the property during the period of the agreement. The consideration then reaching to the city and constituting the payment of rentals by the company consists of the right to the proceeds of the sale of the 400 niches to be constructed; ten percent of the sale price of all crypts sold by the company during the period of the agreement; and the ultimate ownership of the entire structure when the agreement is terminated.
Paragraph 6 further provides that if the proceeds from the sale of crypts during the period of construction are not sufficient to pay for the full cost of construction, the company may supply and deposit in the trust fund such sums as may be necessary to pay such costs. After the improvements have been completed and all the costs thereof fully paid and satisfied, and the amounts due the city, that is, the ten percent of the sale price of the crypts, have been paid, the trust account is to be discontinued and any funds remaining in the trust belong to the company.
Paragraph 8 of the agreement provides, in substance, that if the company fails to perform its contract by constructing the improvements, the company shall return all funds realized from the sale of crypts to the purchasers of such crypts. This section further provides that in the sale of crypts and in its dealings with the general public, the company acts as an independent contractor and that no obligation or responsibility shall be placed upon the city in any manner whatsoever in connection with the sale of crypts or the construction of the improvements. The city further disclaims all liability for any acts of the company in connection with the agreement. If any crypts remain unsold at the date the agreement expires, such crypts shall become the property of the city.
In paragraph 13 of the agreement, the city agrees that all rental payments, to wit, the ten percent of the sales price of the crypts, shall be placed immediately in the cemetery endowment care fund, and the city agrees to provide endowment care for each crypt for which payment to the cemetery endowment care fund has been made [[Orig. Op. Page 3]] in full and to issue an endowment care certificate to the purchaser.
Concerning this agreement you have submitted five questions as follows:
1. Is the document submitted valid either as a lease or as a construction contract?
2. Can a copartnership qualify to operate a cemetery in this state?
3. Can a town or city operate an endowment care cemetery in this state?
4. Does the board have jurisdiction in the situation created by the agreement?
5. If the board lacks jurisdiction, is there any action the board can take to remedy this situation?
The answers to questions 1 to 4 inclusive are in the negative. The answer to question 5 is supplied in the analysis.
1. It makes no difference whether the agreement submitted is construed as a lease or as a construction contract. It is our opinion that it is invalid. The reasons for this conclusion will be found in our discussion of questions 2 and 3.
2. A mausoleum is a cemetery as defined in RCW 68.04.040, (§ 4, chapter 297, Laws of 1943). Under the terms of the agreement the company has the exclusive right to sell all of the crypts contained in the mausoleum provided the sales can be effected during the period covered by the agreement, and the company can issue a certificate to the purchaser of such a crypt which entitles the purchaser to entombment therein forever. Under the terms of the agreement the city has no right of entry or possession to any portion of the mausoleum except that devoted to the columbarium. Thus it appears that during the period of the agreement the company will actually be operating a private cemetery. RCW 68.20.010 provides:
"It is unlawful to engage in or transact any business of a cemetery within this state except by means of a corporation duly organized for that purpose."
[[Orig. Op. Page 4]]
Since the company is admittedly not a corporation it cannot qualify as a cemetery authority. Consequently it cannot either sell or authorize entombment in the crypts which it sells. On the other hand the company cannot act as the agent of the city in the sale of the crypts for the reason that under the terms of the agreement it is operating as an individual contractor for a profit. If the company attempted to act as the agent of the city, it would be receiving a commission or a bonus as represented by the profit realized in the sale of the crypts.
RCW 68.24.140 provides in substance that it shall be unlawful for a cemetery authority to pay or offer to pay to any person, directly or indirectly, a commission, bonus, rebate, or other thing of value for the sale of a plot or services.
3. We believe the agreement is invalid in another respect, to wit: That it attempts to create in the city, to be operated by the city, an endowment care fund. While the statutes authorize cities to own and operate public cemeteries and to sell lots and burial space therein, there is no provision whereby the city can operate an endowment care fund.
RCW 68.12.040 (1955 Supp.) (§ 1, chapter 378, Laws of 1955) provides in substance that any city may acquire, hold, or improve land for cemetery purposes, may sell lots therein, and may provide by ordinance that a specified percentage of the proceeds from such sales be set aside and invested, the income from such investment to be used in the care of the lots and the general improvement and embellishment of the cemetery.
RCW 68.12.050 (1955 Supp.) (§ 3, chapter 378, Laws of 1955) provides that the monies received in the manner provided in RCW 68.12.040 shall be deposited with the city treasurer and shall be kept apart in a fund known as the "cemetery improvement fund."
It is significant that while the laws pertaining to city cemeteries provide for an improvement fund, they make no provision for the establishment of an endowment care fund. Therefore, if the city attempted to qualify as an endowment care cemetery, it would have to meet the requirements of RCW 68.40.010 (1955 Supp.) which provides in substance that an endowment care cemetery is one which deposits in its endowment care fund not less than the following amount for plots sold:
[[Orig. Op. Page 5]]
Ten percent of the gross sales price, with a minimum of ten dollars for each adult grave; five dollars for each niche; and thirty dollars for each crypt. In addition thereto, where the endowment care cemetery is created after the effective date of chapter 290, Laws of 1953, it would have to deposit in its endowment care fund the additional sum of $25,000 before disposing of any plots or making any sale thereof. This requirement is so different from the requirements of the improvement fund, which the city cemetery is authorized to establish, that we believe it is clear that the legislature did not intend that city cemeteries should, or could qualify to operate an endowment care cemetery.
4. What we have heretofore said makes it clear that the situation created by the agreement in question did not give the board jurisdiction in the matter.
RCW 68.05.280 (1953 Supp.) expressly exempts a city cemetery from the supervision and administration of the board, and since the company cannot qualify as a cemetery authority its activities would likewise not be within the jurisdiction of the board.
5. Since the board lacks jurisdiction, the only remaining question is, what action can the board take to remedy the situation created by the agreement?
In our opinion the only action the board can take is to refer the matter to the prosecuting attorney of the county in which the agreement is being performed and carried out.
In conclusion, it is our opinion that the agreement is invalid for the following reasons:
If it is intended as a lease, it is invalid because it attempts to authorize the operation of a private cemetery during the period of the lease by individuals who cannot qualify under the law as a cemetery authority.
If it is intended as a construction contract, it is invalid because it violates the provisions of RCW 68.24.140.
In either event, it is invalid because it attempts to create [[Orig. Op. Page 6]] on behalf of the city an endowment care fund which the city is not authorized by law to maintain.
We trust the foregoing will be of assistance.
Very truly yours,
DON EASTVOLDAttorney General

The Daily Quest: It's all about the gear
Remember running Scholomance a hundred times just to try to get that last piece of Dreadmist? And no one ever wanting to bother killing Jandice because she was optional and annoying? (It's true: I'm speaking from personal experience.) Times and loot tables may have changed, but we're still a bit gear-obsessed. So, for today's quest, here's what's been going 'round the blogosphere about gear.
- Blessing of Fish talks about why our gear is special.
- Larísa at the Pink Pigtail Inn is on the hunt for a decent cloak.
- Relevart's Druid Reliquary talks about epic gear feeling epic.
- Cynwise points out an important question from the recent dev chat: will we be able to wear a monocle with our top hat?
Is there a story out there we ought to link or a blog we should be following? Just leave us a comment, and you may see it here tomorrow! Be sure to check out our WoW Resources Guide for more WoW-related sites.

A lawsuit that challenges Phoenix's $100 million incentive to lure the CityNorth development has the potential to reverberate across Arizona.
The public policy institute thats challenging Phoenix's deal said that Mesas $20 million proposed incentive to the Waveyard resort at Riverview also violates the states Constitution.
Clint Bolick, attorney for the Goldwater Institute, said his group would be willing to back Mesans who oppose the Waveyard development deal.
The details may differ, but both are in the category of corporate giveaways that we are trying to stop, Bolick said.
Backlash against city perks to large developers has produced anti-incentive legislation and the lawsuit by the Goldwater Institute.
The Goldwater Institute cites the state Constitutions gift clause, saying it preventing taxpayer dollars from aiding private developers.
Mesa has a history of city incentives that have produced controversy. The Mesa Riverview retail development attracted $80 million in city money and an unsuccessful fight to stop it.
More recently, Mesa has offered a $20 million tax rebate to Scottsdale-based Waveyard LLC, a deal that will go to the ballot in November. Voters will decide whether the city should pay to bring the adventurepark resort and retail complex to northwest Mesa.
City officials said the Goldwater lawsuit would have no direct impact on the Waveyard deal. As the case plays out in the courts, it could affect future development deals, but Waveyard could be built by the time the Goldwater Institute has a ruling on their legal challenge.
This is a specific challenge to a specific development agreement, said Debbie Spinner, Mesa city attorney. We are not a party in the suit.
The Goldwater Institute lawsuit is not the only challenge to government incentives.
State legislators last session passed a law that limits large cities from doling out lucrative incentives to private developers.
The Goldwater Institute followed up that sentiment when they filed a lawsuit claiming that the states Constitution already outlaws city incentives.
The lawsuit, backed by local businesses, states the CityNorth deal should be stopped.
However, its possible neither of the moves will interfere with Mesas proposal to lure Waveyard to the citys Riverview area.
Mesas voters in November are set to decide whether a $20 million incentive Mesa offered to the $250 million water park and adventure resort should be approved.
The state law creates an exemption for deals that were referred to a vote before July 1. The Mesa City Council sent the issue to the ballot in June.
The Goldwater Institutes lawsuit, meanwhile, is a test case that could set a broad legal precedent when a decision is made.

Every time we choose to do the right thing, when no one is watching, we're reinforcing our integrity and it gets a little easier to do the right thing the next time. It helps sweeps out the darker corners of our hearts where nasty things like bitterness and spite like to make themselves comfortable. The good stuff, in essence sows seeds into our hearts. Ever notice how plants are much bigger than the seeds they come from? God grows those seeds in our hearts. Eventually they grow into more good stuff that produce more fruit... and that stuff takes up even more space... which means, it nudges out more of the crud. Eventually, our heart is overtaken by the things that do us the most good.
Romans 12:21 (NIV)
"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
Galatians 5:22-23 (NCV)
"But the Spirit produces the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. There is no law that says these things are wrong."
I love the way The Message translation words Galatians 5:22-23. The Message is not a literal translation of the Bible. It's a paraphrasing of ideas. Sometimes, especially when you're new to studying the Word, the language of the more literal translations can be hard to read. The Message is nice because it paints word pictures of what the Bible says in a modern context and it's sometimes easier to understand.
Galatians 5:22-23 (The Message)
"But what happens when we live God's way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely.
Legalism is helpless in bringing this about; it only gets in the way. Among those who belong to Christ, everything connected with getting our own way and mindlessly responding to what everyone else calls necessities is killed off for good—crucified."
Legalism sucks.
Living life in such a way that bitterness, impatience, and unkindness do not rule my heart is better.
Don't you think so?

As a paranoid man, I am well read in the ways of male pattern baldness. I'm not bald, but I will be, and it is not a comfortable admission. As a result, for some strange reason, I have taken to spotting the development of male pattern baldness in others, as something of a really horrible habit. This habit has been a particular magnetic draw in the case of Bulls forward Carlos Boozer, whose hair has had quite the week.
Boozer's hair has had intrigue since the latter half of the 2010-11 season, when he started to grow it out somewhat. (And by "a bit," I mean, it went from being balder than a baby's arse to a normal buzz cut.) It seemed obvious that Booz, having shaved his head more thoroughly for the previous few years when the thinness started to creep in, wanted a second crack at having hair. As would any man in his situation.
As a rookie, Carlos had consistent density and a solid line. The very, very minor beginnings of temple recession can be seen, but they were indeed most minor; his hair was fine as it was. However, over the first few years of his NBA career, the hair on the temples bid him adieu. The temples recede somewhat on the vast majority of men in their twenties, as many of us are probably aware, due to the simple science of your face changing shape as you age. Boozer's, however, went a bit more than that, leaving something of a peninsula at the front. It wasn't exactly the full Phil Collins, but it was noticeable. And so he started buzzing.

Notable Numbers
* Tyler Bozak had two goals and an assist and Jonathan Bernier stopped 38 shots as the Leafs avenged their post-season loss won a regular season game in Boston 4-3.
* Ben Bishop got the win over Henrik Lundqvist in a tight one that saw him make 33 stops. Speaking of squeaking out close wins, Antti Niemi made 35 saves to help the Sharks push past the Capitals.
* The Flyers topped the Sabres 4-3, aided by Scott Hartnell's three point performance (one and two). Another odd three point performance last night: David Legwand of the Nashville Predators (all assists).
* Marty Brodeur was the first star and Jaromir Jagr had a goal and an assist in Montreal, so Habs fans had about as much fun losing as they can.
* TJ Oshie scored both the St. Louis Blues goals in their 2-1 win over Phoenix.
* Robin Lehner got the shutout over the Wild (27 saves), and hell, Kuemper was named a star of the game too. I swear, 80 goalies were named stars on Tuesday.
* Ryan Garbutt had a goal and two assists in the Stars 5-2 win over the Oilers.
What Happened
Save of his career
Hell, this might be the save of the career for 90% of goalies. Jhonas Enroth on Claude Giroux:
Patrice Bergeron scored a nifty goal against the Leafs last night, spinning out from behind the net and tucking the puck in one move. Check this out:
Like fights?
I hope so, cause here one is. Volpatti and Brown went pure jackhammer on one another last night. Here, I'll commentate the bout for you:
Ovechkin, man
How about this shot – he fades down low towards the goal line (as more shooters have been doing), one-times the puck, and puts it just under the bar. Unreal.
This looks like a fun time for the goalie. Tonnns of fun.
Okay, no fun at all. Watch rookie Aleksander Barkov and Brad Boyes go tic-tac-toe-boom on this rush for the goal.
An Opinion
Above you saw video of Aleksander Barkov's goal for Florida, in which he makes a nice one-touch pass followed by a nice one-timer for a goal. The kid's O-skills are pretty noteworthy, but it was actually something else that caught my eye: last night the Panthers were up 4-2 late in the game, and the Isles were pressing. Who did head coach Peter Horachek send out to take the draw and defend? Yeah no, this chunk is clearly about Barkov, that was an easy question.
The 18-year-old Barkov won 59% of his draws on the evening including that big one against the bull-like Kyle Okposo. It's not that he's some amazing faceoff man yet – his percentage for the year is a tiny hair under 50%, but check out Tyler Dellow's work on the age curve with faceoff-men. The numbers below are average winning percentages by age at even-strength for players with over 100 draws:
(Click to enlarge)
You can read more about that here (I didn't want to crib his whole chart, so go check his site out), but the point is, starting at 50% as an 18-year-old is pretty damn good, and he's definitely going to get better.
If he's more than just a talented offensive cog, kid could become a pretty important player in this league.

* Jaromir Jagr scored his 695th career goal, which moves him ahead of Mark Messier and into 7th on the all-time NHL goal-scoring list.
* Word is that Brian Burke's top pick for GM in Calgary would be Joe Nieuwendyk. Now it's just a matter of convincing him.

Do you guys have a good source?
It is available from amazon. The price is $30 for 50L, and I think that is not too bad. But something is wrong with the shipping. I tried to order 2 50-L bags, and the shipping fee is $73.93! TIA! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I doubt it will be cheap anywhere online to ship, its not light. I am not from America let alone Michigan but how far is Ann Arbor from you? thegrowshow.org The Grow Show I am sure there are plenty of places that sell it in detroit also. |
- Posted by davemichigan z 5/6 (SE Michigan) (My Page) on Fri, Apr 16, 10 at 10:21
BBrush, thank you for the information! I am pretty close to Ann Arbor and go there very often. Will check out The Grow Show. But I must have confused hydroton with something else. When I was in Europe for work last year, I saw something they call seramis. It is very light, like perlite. I thought hydroton is something similar. I will check it out anyway. Thanks again! |
Hydroton is light. not as light as perlite, but nothing like the weight of bricks. I was surprised the first time I picked up a bag myself. Our local shop sells the 50L bag, I believe, for about $50 USD. |
You are right, just realised the bags I buy are 100 litres not 50. |
- Posted by davemichigan z 5/6 (SE Michigan) (My Page) on Sat, Apr 17, 10 at 13:35
So the shipping fee of $73.93 (that is JUST the shipping fee, not the total cost) sounds expensive, doesn't it? I think they probably entered a wrong weight in their system, and the software was not intelligent enough to combine 2 orders of 50 liter packages into 1 shipment. |
You think thats bad, I wanted to buy some net cups from this site ( hydroponics.eu ) and even though I live in Europe my country isn't on their Europe list and so for one net cup that costs €.90, shipping is €80, customs €60 and just to be nice they add a €5 packing fee, coming to €145 (US$195) for a 100 gram €.90 net cup. |
- Posted by davemichigan z 5/6 (SE Michigan) (My Page) on Sun, Apr 18, 10 at 11:44
LOl! Bbrush, your case was indeed crazier! :-) |
I had a similar problem with buying some mister heads. they wanted like $15USD for S/H of 20 of them. A simple exchange of emails and it was straightened out. I would suggest you email (or call) them and verify the amount quoted. 100L won't weigh terribly much, but it does take up a good bit of space. For the Americans here, remember one gallon is approximately 4L, so imagine stacking 25 gallons of milk together and shipping that. That would likely be considered an over-sized package. |
According top http://postcalc.usps.gov and weight/dimensions at http://www.horticulturesource.com (41.82 LB - Dimensions 28. x 16.5 x 7. IN) it would be $23 to ship a 50l bag from NY to a random Michigan zip code. |

It's more of an oasis or eclectic French bistro at its best due to Caribbean, Asian and regional American influences. In this warm, casual atmosphere, one can savor a raw bar, duck quesadilla, lobster spring roll, Thai shrimp, mussels marinieres, ostrich, Texas steak sandwich, a great beer and wine list, and bittersweet chocolate mousse.

Celiac Disease Nutrition Guide, 3rd Ed. (Single Copy)
This easy to read "survival guide" outlines essential information for people diagnosed with Celiac disease.
The Dietary Reference Intakes from the Institute of Medicine recommend a total daily beverage intake of 13 cups for men and 9 cups for women. This amount is for generally healthy people living in temperate climates. Individual needs vary so some people can be properly hydrated at somewhat higher or lower levels of water intake. Also, keep in mind that this recommended amount may come from a variety of sources. It includes other beverages—even those containing caffeine—in addition to the water that you drink.
When you're exposed to extreme temperatures—very hot or very cold—your body uses more water to maintain its normal temperature. Under these conditions, you may need to increase your fluid intake.

Sterling Silver Thai Hill Tribe Necklace
(Got it? Rate it.)
Category: Jewelry/Necklaces
A delicately woven sterling silver chain is the focus of this necklace, handcrafted in Thailand by silversmiths from the northern hill tribes. Silver jewelry is a rich part of hill tribe tradition, both making it and wearing it. Women traditionally wear elaborate necklaces, headdresses, and bracelets for festivals and celebrations, and many hill tribe people prefer silver to paper currency. This necklace features beaded and braided elements created by members of three different Thai hill tribes. |
Sterling Silver Kanji Birthstone Pendant Necklace
(Based on 6 reviews)
Category: Jewelry/Necklaces
Kanji are Chinese characters that have been simplified and adopted into Japanese writing, beginning as early as the sixth century A.D. Today there are tens of thousands of kanji characters in Japanese writing, but only about 3,000 are in common use. Artisans in Yiwu, China, create these kanji pendants by using sterling silver and the lost-wax casting method. Each kanji character emulates the sweeping brushstrokes of traditional calligraphy. Choose based on birth month, favorite color, or simply the symbol that resonates with you most.
Available styles: Amethyst, Blue Topaz, Citrine, Carnelian, Garnet, Green Quartz, Iolite, Peridot, Pink Tourmaline, Turquoise, White Pearl, White Quartz
Sterling Silver Thai Hill Tribe Cuff Bracelet
(Based on 1 review)
Category: Jewelry/Bracelets
The way of life among Thailand's northern hill tribes has changed little over the centuries. Traditionally, artisans melt silver bars and old necklaces to create new adornments for New Year celebrations, an example of which is this cuff of braided, intertwined strands of sterling silver. The artisan melts, cools, hammers, shapes, chisels, and engraves the sterling silver to achieve a braided and woven effect. |
Silver and Onyx Tuareg Necklace
(Based on 1 review)
Category: Clothing/Jewelry/Necklaces
The Tuareg are a nomadic Berber tribe who live in the North African Sahara. They were once known as the Blue People of the Sahara because of the indigo-dyed turbans and veils that would stain their skin. They're known for their engraved silver jewelry; the Tuareg subclass called Inadan means people who work with fire and metalblacksmiths. Using only simple hand tools and implements that could be easily transported on camels (screwdrivers, nails, safety pins, files, charcoal and handheld bellows) Tuareg craftsmen have plied their trade for centuries. |
Celtic Cross Necklace
(Got it? Rate it.)
Category: Clothing/Jewelry/Necklaces
The intricate Celtic crossoften decorated with elaborate trinity knots and scrollworkmay have first been used by St. Patrick as a symbol to convert Druids in Ireland. Combining the Christian cross with monuments that represented more earthly spirituality such as the sun and moon and tree of life would have linked pagan and Christian beliefs and helped the saint deliver his message throughout Ireland. Today many people are drawn to the design more as an expression of Irish or Scottish family ties than as a religious symbol. |
Tricolor Baltic Amber Necklace
(Based on 8 reviews)
Category: Member Products/Jewelry
About 40 million years ago, the translucent amber in this earthy necklace was pine resin flowing within trees along the shores of present-day Poland. There, in the region of Pomerania, amber beads are handed down through generations and are considered amulets against harm. A Polish artisan gathers these authentic fossilized gems, frames them in sterling silver, and pairs them with a sinuous snake chain.
Navajo Turquoise Beaded Necklace
(Based on 1 review)
Category: Member Products/Jewelry
For the Navajo, turquoise is believed to ensure favor with one's yei, a holy being who mediates between the human and supernatural worlds. This necklace is handcrafted by Navajo artisans in Arizona and features a smooth cabochon pendant set in sterling silver on a satin strand of blue and green turquoise discs. |
Silver and Garnet Mandala Necklace
(Got it? Rate it.)
Category: Member Products/Jewelry
In traditional Buddhist and Hindu cultures, the symmetrical patterns of a mandala are often used as a map to an imaginary place during meditation. Our sterling silver mandala pendant is hand-tooled by indigenous Newar artisans in Nepal's Kathmandu Valley, and set with a garnet cabochon at its center. It is a striking conversation piece that can be appreciated for its spiritual symbolism as well as its remarkable craftsmanship. Due to high demand, this product is no longer available.

It's not Christmas time yet, but Athens County Sheriff's Deputies found something the sheriff says looks like a Christmas tree.
Sheriff Pat Kelly says deputies cut down a close to seven foot tall marijuana plant last night.
"It's quite full and bushy. It looks like a Christmas tree," says Kelly.
Kelly says an unknown person called his department last night saying there was marijuana growing behind the Silver Saddle Bar on State Route 550.
Deputies searched the area and spotted the plant growing behind a trailer.
"There is marijuana growing all over this county. Some is for personal use. We understand that. Some is for trafficking. We believe this one was for personal use," says Kelly.
Kelly says the plant equals about 22 grams of marijuana.
No one was arrested or charged.

My Fava beans are sprouting and a few were peaking through the dirt yesterday. When I got home from work today the crows were having a feast. GGGGGRRRRRR!
They seemed to be taunting me, standing there with beans as big as their head in their mouths. I nailed 4 with my shotgun (3 in the air) before the rest got away. I probably would have gotten more but I only had 4 shells. It may seem gruesome to some but I have 4 crows hanging on poles to hopefully scare the others away. The deer are next................... HEE HEE! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Maybe cover up the rows with a light mulch? If they can't see the sprouts from the trees they'll be less likely to go after them, IME. They sure can do a lot of damage. Sounds like you need a scarecrow, maybe one holding a shotgun, aye? |
Chicken wire tunnels aka pea guards work well. The problem I get is wood pigeons eating pea seedlings. Mice eat the favas but only the beans, not the shoots. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pea guard
"Sounds like you need a scarecrow, maybe one holding a shotgun, aye?" LOL The real scare crows, dead hanging on the poles, seems to be working. But they smell pretty bad! LOL I haven't saw a crow or any other bird in the garden after I hung them up! |

I second using cd disks, works like a charm for me too, that is when I remember to do it :). Annette |
Sadly, I haven't found CDs very effective against my pigeon predators. Only a physical barrier stops them. Even netting must be high and taut or they just sit on it, weighing it down until the plants poke through the holes! |
I've had success with camouflage. Birds just sit right next to the spinning, shining disks and peck away. I just sprinkle anything green- grass, leaves, etc. down the row after planting, making the new sprouts less obvious. Repeat until sprouts are bigger and less tempting. |
oldpea - I think you have something there. I tried using bolted kale plants laid over a row of pea seedlings last year. It was quite effective. And now I have a row of baby kale plants growing which I didn't need to sow. |
The survivors are about 8" tall now. The crows got about 1/3 of them or I had some that didn't sprout. Enough to eat. |

text: I am a Physics major/Journalism minor (Senior). In order to qualify my hands-on experience with PCs (since late '80s) and some networking, I obtained A+ certification and am wondering if it is worth the cost of adding on Network+, both in terms of knowledge as well as employable skills. I foresee these certifications as pluses to my resume when applying for a internship in photonics/optical networking. Where would someone who is Network+ certified fit among CCNAs, CNEs, Linux etc? Network admins/managers' comments are especially welcome. Thank you for your time.

I wonder if it'll have a dance floor...
I got this from WDW News Today:
It seems we finally have confirmation of the new table-service restaurant to replace the former Rock N Roll Beach Club at Pleasure Island, according to the Orlando Sentinel:
E-Brands, the multi-concept Orlando based restaurant group, will launch its newest location and concept at Walt Disney World in 2009. The eatery will feature authentic Central and South American cuisine, specialty tequilas, premium wines and live music.
Were thrilled to have the opportunity to build upon our portfolio of 15 successful restaurants across the country including such brands as Timpano and Samba Room and our 25-year relationship with Walt Disney World Resort, said Rashid Choufani, CEO/Owner of E-Brands Restaurants and operator of Epcots Morocco Pavilion. We look forward to sharing our unique dining experience with Walt Disney World guests from around the globe.
No name has been announced for the new waterside eatery, but I love the diverse elements the company is promising and who can lose with waterside dining and premium tequila!
E-Brands Restaurants newest concept will come to life with a boldly colored hacienda-style interior featuring rustic beams that contrast against modern fixtures, stone floors and windows that open to create an open-air environment. The 5,000-square-foot, two-story facility will have a tequila bar and outdoor seating along Village Lake.

always plotting, planning, and looking forward to our next adventure...
That sounds like a really cool. I have two additional thoughts on this concept. 1) Sounds like they are trying to compete with Margaritaville 2) If they put a dance floor in it sounds like the might be competing against Bongo's and their Salsa dance floor.

I don't like writing things that are ephemeral, I prefer to write things that I think are going to stay useful for many years. That's a big part of my philosophy with books, and it's my intention for what's on this web site too. To a large extent, I feel I have succeeded. If I look at the top ten pages on my site , I see Dependency Injection (2004), Continuous Integration (2006), Mocks Aren't Stubs (2007), GUI Architectures (2006), and The New Methodology (2005) in the top ten. While I can always improve on articles it's good to see things I've written several years ago still being useful.
Despite the staying power of some popular articles, most of my site gets much less traffic than a new post, so I've decided to start a series of retread posts. A retread is a reposting of an old post. I'll put it into my site feed and tweet it, just as I do my new posts. I will clearly mark such posts as retreads. I will check any post I retread and ensure it's still relevent and worth reading now as it was then. I may make some corrections as I do this, but I expect to mostly leave the posts as they were. I expect to post a retread once or maybe twice a week.
8 September 2011
I've been watching the blog scene develop for a while, and it's impossible to not want to join in. But there are things I'm not so keen about blogs. For a start the name, as my colleague Mike Two puts it, "blog sounds like something I should pay a physician to remove". Beyond the name, however, there's the very ephemeral nature of blog postings. Short bursts of writing that might be interesting when they are read - but quickly age. I find writing too hard to want to spend it on things that disappear.

Crisis in Leadership - modified slightly from Bill Deresiewicz's USMA presentation
1 comment:
- Sean Heritage said...
Wow! Me and Simon in the same sentence...thank-you! I've been asking WHY quite a bit recently (new job) and the answers have been to your point.
The routine is boring, the routine invites being busy to trump demonstrating progress, and it's adherence to the routine that seems to get many promoted. Too many of us are content with "putting in time" and "not breaking anything". Though I must say, it is increasingly exciting of late to have come across some impressive (and junior) "Thought" and "Do" LEADERS. The challenge is to funnel them toward the right mentors and away from the Diminishers, away from those who find comfort in the routine. - December 21, 2012 at 5:59 AM

I know that you're a busy man. You've got a lot on your mind and only a few weeks to go before you clean out your desk. So I'll try to keep this short.
I realize, too, that you're tired of hearing about Columbine. Many people are. Folks in my business have the attention span of a hyperactive gnat, and most of them would rather move on to other horrors: the Beltway sniper, chronic wasting disease, the new fall sitcoms.
But it's different for you. On April 20, 1999, the worst high school shooting in American history happened on your watch, when seniors Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed thirteen people, injured two dozen more and then turned their guns on themselves. Your name and your department's reputation will be forever linked to this tragedy.
Frankly, one reason so many questions remain about Columbine, more than three years after the event, is that your people tried to thwart public scrutiny through a strategy of stonewall and spin control. Issuing an official report riddled with inaccuracies and glaring omissions, ducking the governor's review commission on the advice of the county attorney, lobbying state lawmakers to squash a legislative probe, cranking out self-serving press releases to fade the heat rising after each embarrassing revelation -- the basement tapes, the search warrant, the Harris diary, the confusion over who killed Daniel Rohrbough, to name a few -- all of this has done little to put the matter to rest.
Perhaps you believe that the recent settlements between the county and various families of the dead and injured, including the $1.5 million coughed up to settle the lawsuit filed by the family of slain teacher Dave Sanders, closes the book on the shootings. It may surprise you to learn that there are still lawsuits pending (although none against your office) and that there are still people searching for the truth about Columbine, some of whom discuss their concerns in the following pages.
Sheriff, have you ever managed to wade through the 16,000 pages of documents released by your office over the past two years? (Released reluctantly, I might add, trickling out over months and years in response to court orders.) I wish I knew what you think about that material; our correspondence has languished, unfortunately, ever since my last letter to you was shanghaied by the county attorney's office, which issued a predictably obfuscatory response ("More Whoppers From Jeffco," October 25, 2001). At the very least, what the ballistics records reveal about the use of police firepower that day should trouble you (see "Going Ballistic").
There are so many haunting loose ends. Take the case of Sarah Cudworth, an eighteen-year-old interviewed by an Arapahoe County investigator less than two weeks after the shootings. Cudworth told the deputy that she'd been introduced to Eric Harris in 1997 by her friend Robert Craig, a Columbine honor student who killed his stepfather and himself later that year. Like Harris, Craig was a bright, moody young man who hung out with a disaffected crowd but was not a member of the Trenchcoat Mafia. His stepfather happened to be a former sheriff's deputy.
"Sarah told me they were all drawn together by their intelligence and boredom with school," the investigator wrote in his report. "Harris had a lot of hate, but he never told her about any plans to hurt anyone. Harris did talk about how he was harassed."
Eric Harris and Robert Craig. You'd think such a startling nexus of anger and despair would require some followup, but there is no trace of any subsequent interviews with Cudworth or anyone else on that point.
Or take a more current example, if you like. Recently, gun-rights activist Duncan Philp settled a lawsuit against two of your officers for $20,000 -- an amazing sum for what seems, at first glance, to be a case of a faulty traffic ticket. Philp was pulled over by a Jeffco deputy last December on his way to a protest rally at the home of Columbine parent Tom Mauser, who has become an outspoken advocate for tougher gun laws since his son Daniel was killed in the school library by Harris and Dylan Klebold.
This was no random stop. Your deputies had Philp under surveillance that night and had compiled an intelligence file on him, not unlike the Denver Police Department's notorious "spy files." Philp beat the traffic ticket -- apparently, your deputies didn't know that a motorist doesn't have to signal a turn when pulling out of a private parking lot -- and then sued for alleged constitutional violations.
In a deposition, Don Estep, a member of Jeffco's intelligence unit and the FBI's multi-agency terrorism task force for Colorado, made several damaging admissions. He acknowledged that his unit had videotaped events the night of the protest but never logged that tape into evidence; that Philp had been cited for not having a valid Colorado driver's license when there was no proof that he was even a Colorado resident; and that a Jeffco sergeant had obtained information about Philp from the state motor vehicle database by telling a DMV official that Philp was under investigation for felony fraud, when there was no such investigation.

MET Guided Tours to the villages see: About the Area
VISCRI The first document mentioning Viscri is a record of church taxes dated around the year 1400, in which the village is referred to as being part of the Rupea parish. Its inhabitants consisted of 51 farmers, one school master, three shepherds and two paupers. In 1939 the village had 699 inhabitants of Saxon origin. The village lies northwest of Rupea and can be reached through Dacia on a 7 km unpaved road. The origins of the fortified church date from 1100 when the Szeklers built a small church with a single hall and semicircular apse. To this day, the church is surrounded by a cemetery with gravestones dating back to the Bjielo-Brdo culture. Around 1185 the church was taken over by Saxon colonists, and the Szecklers were forced to settle in southeast Transylvania (although in 1848, eleven Saxons, one Romanian and one Gipsy were attacked and murdered in Viscri by Hungarian rebels).In the 14th century the east part of the church was rebuilt. The first fortifications with towers were added around 1525. In the 18th century the church was surrounded by a second defense wall. After 1743 a covered corridor for the storage of corn was built. A century later, two chambers in the defense corridor of the bastion were turned into school rooms. The classic 19th century altar has as centerpiece "the Blessing of the Children" by the painter J. Paukratz from Rupea. The font was made from a capital of the 13th century church.

We are pretty new to PA and have a bunch of one type of bushes in the yard that look like they are in trouble. The leaves have a lacy appearance like bugs ate them to pieces, but it is all over all of these bushes and not on any other type of plants. I have not seen any bugs on these bushes. They are in real trouble because all of the leaves are being destroyed. Does anyone know what is going on with these bushes? Bug damage? Fungus?
Thank you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you know what type of bushes they are? If there is a way for you to post pictures, please do. That would be very helpful. If you can't do that, give us a description of the shrub...size, color, flower description, is it in sun or shade, etc. Kim |
Here is a link that might be useful: Kim's Garden
Are you sure it's not frost damage? |
Have you ever seen Azalea lace bugs? You may want to google it and see if this matches your problem. |
Sorry, I did not get notified that this post was answered. I will get a picture today. I will also google Azalea lace bugs to see if that is the problem. I don't think it is frost damage, but it could be. It will be easer when I get a picture up for you to see. Thank you for your responses. |
Sorry, forgot to add. The shrubs are approximately 5-6 feet tall. The leaves (as you see in the picture) are toothed and crinkly like a ruffles potato chip. |

Well, the Kingdoms line had battle packs (which are now ridiculously overpriced on Bricklink), and the new Castle line has a nice little set with 4 figs and enough useful parts to make it useful for more than just the figs.
I hope this one will max out at 13 euros, but it's probably going to be 15-16, at least I fear it will.
SW has a lot of battle packs but because of the license they are still pretty steep - 17 euros for a pack with 4 minifigs here.
If you want just the figs, I built a lot my armies by buying minifig parts separately... If you make units in large enough amounts and you take some time to figure out the best offer (the fewer orders you need to place to get there, the fewer shipment costs you'll have to pay) I think this can definitely turn out to be cheaper than buying full figs / sets.
Most figs are expensive, but sometimes you can also find figs from random old themes really cheap... I just got 7 Blacktrons for and 6 M-Trons for less than 1.50 euros each. Putting together some of Warhead's Terrorkhan made me realize just how cheap these guys were, and they look cool, too.
If you want to save some money, you could by blank torsos (generally they're cheaper) and custom decal them. It works for me and also helps to give your army that 'unique' feel:
The bottom line is to plan ahead and to start out by buying the things you need the most of at the cheapest price, while avoiding having to place one order to get 1 part you need. The more fancy stuff like epaulettes and capes you want, of course, the more expensive it's gonna be. You don't need to have a huge army to have a good fight though.

Málaga itself offers a wealth of cultural events, shopping and leisure facilities and the whole area is paradise found for sports fans, especially golfers, with forty magnificent courses to choose from.
Benal Beach has so much to offer in the way of on-site facilities including a large private swimming pool complex.
