The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Gen. Gabre is a household name in Somalia. He is Ethiopia's point man on
Somalia. He wields enormous power in the TFG. He is the man said to have
slapped President Yusuf. He is the man who, in effect, calls the shots
in Somalia. He must have his way or else!
I don't have confirmation that Sheik Sharif has snubbed him but if that
is really true it means how low the relationship between Sharif's clique
and Ethiopian backed PM-Speaker team is has sunk.
Ethiopia represented by Gabre had what it wanted in Somalia -- defeating
even the U.N., US and AU.
And here is a quick background:
Both AU and US wanted Sharif Hassan Sheik Aden, the current speaker,
arrested before he resigned from his post as the finance minister. They
allege him of stealing or laundering huge amount of money. ( a
parliamentary committee is now investigating.... the other day an
official of the committee was talking of 10 million dollars)
But before they could carry out the arrest, the man, known for his
ability to drum up support for his side. Quit his post and vied for
speakership to save his self from any action.
Ethiopia backs him strongly and now it is him and the speaker who call
the shots in the TFG.
Why you may ask.
When Sheik Sarif fired Sharmarke he did it because the US, UN and AU
wanted that.
The president based his justification on the former speaker's lie that
parliamentarians voted out PM's government, something that never took
place. No vote was hold to oust PM or his Cabinet.
Here was the deal: former speaker was asked by the UN. US. and AU to
officially resign and was told he will be named as a deputy PM in a new
government after sacking Sharmarke.
But the hunter became hunted.
Sharif Sheik Aden and Sharmarke put their heads together and strategize
to defeat the international community's plan to out them --- the Int'l
community's plan was to arrest Aden and out Sharmarke and if he resists
to add his name to a proposed list of people to be sanctioned that the
U.N. envoy for Somalia was preparing for the U.N. security council.
Sharmarke and Aden sent a team to the president asking him reinstate
Sharmarke to save the man's image and give him for a week to voluntarily
resign. In fact, the president's sacking order was illegal, so the
president decided to issue statement reinstating Sharmarke Thursday in
the hope of Sharmarke's next Tuesday resignation.
The president left for Turkey but when that fabled Tuesday came
Sharmarke stuck to his gun and told the president to his face that "you
are the one who violated the constitution and righted his wrongs, not
The president was shocked..... in the meantime, Aden, the current
speaker, bribed his way to the speakership.
Now we have two BIG MAN controlling the government with the backing of
The U.S. and U.N. and AU are at their wit's end.... one AU official told
me the other day.... "let's wait and see if things can sort themselves
out and the new U.N. envoy for Somalia can bring new ideas....."
The overall strategy of Ethiopia is merely to keep Somalia in chaos ----
no peace, constant wrangling..... Hearing that the Ethiopia was not even
happen to hear the US veep Biden talking of Somalia....
In this corner of the world we have a superpower by the name of Ethiopia
and that is where Gabre comes in.
To understand further have a look at the communique below (3.
Recognises that the problem created within the Parliament has been
defused with the election of the former Deputy Prime Minister and
Minister of Finance, Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan as the new Speaker of
Parliament. Expresses confidence in the leadership of TFG and
acknowledges the continued efforts by the President and Prime Minister
in their efforts to restructure the cabinet. Council congratulates the
Parliament for handling the recent crisis responsibly. )
Ethiopia is the power in this region. If you see Ethiopian foreign
minister's statement in that meeting you will be shocked. The joint
communique reads like it was written by the Ethiopia. It was really
written by them.

WOW...how cute are they! You did a fantastic job painting them too...love the red one especially! |
That red and white one with the ladybugs is my favorite and I took the most time trying to figure out what I wanted to do with it. I wasn't sure if they would sell for $15 each but the 10 I made have been sold and the orders keep coming in for more. I need to hound my son for more wood:-) |

They are all so cute! I would imagine that people would just have to have 2. I think $15 is very reasonable for one of those cuties. |
Those are adorable. I'm not surprised they're selling as fast as you can make them. |
WOW those are very sweet. I'd pay $15 for one. |
Those are soooo cute. What a wonderful painter you are. $15.00 is very resonable....no doubt they sold |
What little cuties!! Glad you are selling them & taking orders! Might want to paint girl & boy so they are facing each other in case someone has 2 trees to hang them from.(Just a couple of pairs like that to see how they sell). TFS Jan |

I have read that open houses aren't really productive. It gets a lot of curiosity seekers, but not many offers to buy, from an open house.
Our realtor wants to have one soon. We'll do it, because he wants to, and I understand, anything to bring people in.....but, what are your opinions regarding open houses? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I like open houses for other real estate agents to attend, particularly with a good comment sheet. I've found that very helpful in getting early feedback. I don't think open houses for buyers are productive. |
- Posted by luann_in_pa (My Page) on Mon, Jan 24, 11 at 22:20
I think this is one of those regional things. Open houses are very popular here, and they result in offers. All our houses were sold via open house... |
As a seasoned agent, I find that open houses depend on the market. During a sellers market, I thought brokers open houses were more productive because there were very few homes out there and getting the brokers in usually resulted in one with a buyer. In this current buyers market, most buyers are slow to comitt to an agent. They want to take their time looking and see many many homes. Open houses seem to be the way to go. They can pop in and out at their own pace and see as many or as few as they want to. Ive recommended more open houses in the last year than any time in my entire real estate career (over 20 years). In a market with such competition, you shouldnt discount any form of exposure. |
When we put the house on the market, we asked the RA if we were going to have realtors come through to see the house. Assuming they still did that. He said they don't do "caravans" anymore, but if we wanted him to, he would bring some co-workers by, to give us some in-put. Which he did today. They couldn't find anything negative to comment on. They felt the price was right, soooo, we play the waiting game.....and, schedule an open house. |
Open houses are definitely regional and vary even on a micro-level. In my city, an open house in the suburbs is pretty much a waste. There are just so many similar houses on the market that people really pay attention. However, there are neighborhoods downtown where open houses are very effective. People are buying the neighborhood as much as the house, so they respond to "Open house in XYZ neighborhood" advertisements. |
Foggyi, in my area, a caravan is not the same as a brokers open. You may want to check that with your agent. |
Hi Foggyi, I am not a buyer. I am a seller. Just to see the upgrades, style, price etc in the neighborhood I do visit open house(all similar homes). You may call me "curiosity seeker". Anna |
Thanks for your responses. There are many houses similar to ours, in all the surrounding area. I wish I was a buyer around here! What a choice I would have. Maybe we should go to see the other places for sale, but, like everyone else, I see them on the MLS. And we are competing with newer homes, so I know a lot of what they can offer, we can't change. (I'm so sick of hearing about granite counter tops, I could scream!) |
I sold a year ago and didn't have an open house. I don't think open houses do anything for sellers and I didn't want curiosity seekers. It is a way for Realtors to pick up new clients, not to sell houses. That's how I found my Realtor, at a neighbor's open house. However, I did have a 'brokers open house.' That was helpful so brokers, in the area could see the house. My property was a big selling point and needed to be seen in 'real life.' Jane |
When we decided to list our house, we wrote a letter to all of the REA in our city....they called and made an appointment with us to bring their crew of agents through our house. We then interviewed the agents and picked one that we felt would do the best job. It seemed to be that none of them thought open houses did any good anymore....just neighbors who wanted to see the inside of the house....and said with all of the internet exposure, the buyer could look at the visual tours and if they were interested enough, they made arrangements to see it in person. So no, in our area an open house does no real good....or that is their opinion. |
I agree, about the validity of open houses. I hate to turn the RA down, about it. It's a way of...."trying". Haven't got one scheduled yet. I think we'll just wait until he brings it up again. Thanks, I will ask about a "broker's" open house, again. When we did that, he brought two agents who work in the same office as our agent. |
For what it's worth-- last January, I went to three open houses just to start getting mentally ready to buy. I hadn't done any of the prep work on my side, but I absolutely loved the third house that I saw. Within four days, I got loan pre-approval, got an agent, met with the agent, went to see the house a second time, immediately said I wanted to make an offer... and was told that the house already had an offer and a back-up offer. I would be very surprised if the other two offers weren't generated by the open house-- there were a lot of people there, and all of the comments I heard were positive. I think an open house can be a really good thing for the seller if it's a nice house. I would go with it if I were you. It can't hurt, and it might mean a much faster sale. |
I guess it depends if they are popular in your area. When dh and I sold in '08 the agent had a broker's open and from then on an open house to the public about twice a month. That's how we sold our house. Lots of traffic and whenever they left they would leave a business card from their Real Estate office. |

I love open houses. I consider them a great way to window shop without having to register or give any personal info before I'm sure I'm interested. |
I've heard that some open houses require people to sign-in, as a means of knowing who came through your house. I wondered about the security issue, with having the public roam around the house unaccompanied. I'm sure people may put fake names, but at least it may make them think, before they are tempted. As it is, for showings, I take important papers, bathroom articles, etc., out of the house. If I clear everything off, it may look pretty sparse. On the other hand, there isn't alot of traffic around here, so it may not be a problem. |
When we were on the market last fall the agent offered to do an open house but commented that the last one she had done had no one show up. She said that around here they aren't very well attended so it may be important to find out how they generally do in your area. |

I bought a house from an open house. Saw it one Sunday afternoon, had a contract by Monday evening. |
foggyj, you should go to open houses, even if they are not comps. It gives you ideas how to present your house, and your impression of a house. I found it very informative and it also helped me have a better idea of pricing. We never had one ourselves, but attended others in our area on weekends. It was helpful. |
well, today we had a flurry of three showings within 2 hours. The scheduling is done by a centralized group. all the realtors ask them to set up arrangements, by calling us, then they respond back to the agents. One of today's showings, was a second look. I'm always anxious to hear from our realtor, for the feedback. None has been negative. Just little things that don't fit with the buyer. Such as, we have a three step sunken living room. Today's prospects had a toddler, and babe in arms. I would think twice about this house, with those steps, and a full staircase leading to an upstairs play area,etc. They would spend their time chasing kids off the steps. We'll see. No open house scheduled yet. |

I'll just add to the chorus that open houses seem to differ greatly from region to region in terms of their usefulness from a seller's standpoint, with suburban communities possibly being the worst bet. Our well-advertised and leafletted O.H. in one such subdivision drew a total of five groups over the course of an afternoon: one being a couple who go to such events recreationally (told our RA they had to see the property because one bet the other that the list price was so low for a lake community it had to be a mis-labeled townhome), one being a nutcase (too long a story) and the other three being neighbors who took a very long time looking into every cupboard and cranny. I would have invited them over earlier if I'd known how curious they were. Needless to say, no sale resulted. |
I bought my house after an open house, but it was an unusual situation. I had 3 days to pick and after 2 days stopped by a FSBO advertised on Craigslist (I did already know the neighborhood was good enough). It really is nice to talk to the homeowner, which I'm sure is normally frowned upon. They even gave us the card for a mortgage broker who we ended up using. But those were the "good" days when you had to pay more than the asking price... |
When we had three showings right in a row the other day, my DH just went out in the back yard. All three realtors came out to ask a question of him. (What were the monthly electical bills, on average.? What were the rules on RV's? I forgot the third one.) I see that these are answers RA's should have. We always leave when the prospects appear. |

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Baidu Inc, China's largest search engine, posted its slowest profit growth in more than four years, missing Wall Street targets as higher traffic acquisition costs ate into profit margins and the company consolidated results from its money-losing online video unit.
Shares of Baidu, which have fallen about 12 percent since the start of the year, were down more than 6 percent at $85.80 (55.6 pounds) in after hours trading on Thursday.
Revenue in the first quarter rose 40 percent to $961 million, short of the $969.3 million expected by analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Net income in the three months ended March 31 increased 8.5 percent year-on-year to $328.9 million, or 95 cents per American Depositary Share, short of the $1.03 per ADS analysts had expected.
Baidu's softer results this quarter were due to the consolidation of its online video unit, iQiyi, to its overall business. Analysts said they do not envision iQiyi being profitable in the near future given the high costs of the online video sector. Baidu also had to pay more for traffic acquisition due to competition from Qihoo 360 Technology's search engine.
For the second quarter, Baidu estimated revenue of $1.187 billion to $1.216 billion. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S had an average forecast of $1.2 billion.

Java's Ujung Genteng, end of the… roof tile?
I'm often asked about my favourite places in Java and I often reply with expected responses such as "Bromo — it is spectacular" and "Dieng — a mystical paradise in the mountains". But I also mention places such as Karimunjawa and Ujung Genteng, both of which receive very few foreign tourists, but are stunning places … read the full post

Thank you for the reply. I am a little late receiving it because I had forgotten check this email thread lately. However, I did get it working, and interestingly enough one of your listed problems was the same as I had. It turned out to be the software raid. Apparently software raid inserts header information at block 0 and then stores the array at the end of the partition, and of course as we should all know, silo also wants to use block 0. The only part that was new to me about this process was the fact that raid uses block 0, so of course it's going to conflict with silo. Anyways, I ended up separating off my boot directory to it's own partition and for simplicity, made it the first partition on each disk. Now I have all my partitions working as raid1 except sda1 and sdb1. With these I now just use $(dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1) anytime I upgrade the kernel or silo. I know there's a way to have silo boot from a different block other than 0, but that task will wait for later play. Right now I'm just happy to have my server up and running at full capacity.

RE: The Origin of Our Modern Totems (Follow-Up #2)
posted by: susiewantsroses on 12.14.2008 at 01:15 am in Garden Junk Forum An oral story of the Origin of Craft Totems
"Hello, I'm Spendy", she said at her shop-a-holics Annonimous group meeting. "Hi Spendy", the entire group replied in an erie mechanical united voice. "I maxed out three credit cards shopping at Goodwill this year", her confession began. The story wove a complex tapestry of excessive compulsive spending. Her addiction had her sprinting from Tag Sale, to Resale, to Wholesale, to Estate Sale, to Auctions, to Divorce Sales and ultimately to the POOR HOUSE. (Spendy, in total denial, just saw the poor house as Shabby Chic and planned to curb shop to rehab it immediately.) Spendy's last 'big haul' produced three plates, one microwave platter, two jars, a blue bud vase, a candy dish, and a pair of spats.(?) She sat in a state of bliss on the floor, with all of her treasures sprawled around her. "How 'GREEN' I am", she sang. "I'm just recycling", she reasoned. Then images of DH jumped on her thought stage and ranted about needing his garage, shed, and attic spaces back. Spendy became allert instantly when she heard her husband's truck approching the house. She quickly stacked up her beloved treasures and ran to the hall coat closet better known as "Someday I'll get to this Project closet". All FULL!! Then to the linen closet. Yes indeed it most certainly was full of Linens, VINTAGE!!! This collection was in case her then, 16 yr old son, someday married a girl who liked exactly what Spendy liked. Right....We've all used that excuse. Next Spendy tried under the couch. That narrow hide-a-way held a multitude of spiders, dog toys, cheerios, and dust bunnies. The spats could be stored there in case the family ever decided to be in a Victorian Parade. (It could too happen!) But the stacked tower was whisped away and out the back door to hide in the cutting garden amongst the flowers. Fall came and the cutting garden flowers bowed down to Mother Nature's icey cold breath. While drinking her French Vanilla Folgers, (which she bragged was on sale and it was double coupon day), Spendy gazed out the window at her sleeping flower bed. There in all of it's sparkling glory was the colorful,accidental, hidden stack of treasures. It was an object of structural art with a Junkie twist. In an instant her creative wheels were turning. She thought, "I love gardening, I love crafting, I love-love-love treasure hunting". "Here is my excuse to do it all"! "Where's my keys", she cried. "I'm going to GoodWill". Spendy continued telling the Shop-a-holic Annonimous Group about her scuptural passions. She talked about how puzzeled her DH was when she TOLD HIM. The group thought she said TOTEM. So from that day forward the 'oral story' was repeated from group to group (Glass-A-holics, Spend-a-holics, Glue Sniffers of America, Curb Shoppers Club, Million Marble + Society, Garden Junkie Forum and many more.) The name 'Totem' is still used today. Recorded by Susiesgotproblems NOTES: <none>

RE: Your favorite frugal gardening tip (Follow-Up #70)
posted by: gardenfaerie on 03.04.2006 at 08:27 am in Frugal Gardening Forum If you do use the styrofoam peanuts in the bottom of pots, put them in one of those mesh bags oranges come in or in a plastic bags that you make slits in (drainage is obviously important!) and tie with twist-tie. This way, cleanup is MUCH easier and you can reuse the bag o' styrofoam easily the nest year. Otherwise, it's hard picking individual peanuts out of the soil.
Monica NOTES: Great idea !! Picking loose 'peanuts' out of soil is very time consuming.

Schererville Republicans tap Connelly to fill Town Council seat
By Michelle L. Quinn Post-Tribune correspondent December 12, 2012 11:16PM
Kevin Connelly of Schererville was elected by a caucus of Republican precint committeemen to complete the Schererville Town Council term of Hal Slager, who was elected in November to the Indiana General Assembly. Dec. 13, 2012. Photo provided~Sun-Times Media
Updated: January 14, 2013 7:24AM
SCHERERVILLE — Former Police Commission President Kevin Connelly is now the town's Ward 2 councilman.
Connelly, who started in town government in 2005, defeated Schererville businessman Ken Stevenson by a vote of 26-3 during a Republican caucus held Wednesday at the St. John Township Community Center. Connelly will complete the term of newly elected District 15 state Rep. Hal Slager. The Town Council term expires in December 2014.
Slager got Connelly into politics, Connelly said, so he thought it was fitting that Slager swore him in after the vote.
"Hal was my mentor early on," he said. "I'd made a call and said I wanted to get involved, and shortly after Hal came over. Next thing I know, I was made a vice chairman.
"I still don't know how that happened."
Connelly said his business experience makes him qualified for the position. He hasn't picked an area in which he wants to concentrate but feels the Shops on Main will be an enormous opportunity for the town.
"I have to get my hands around everything," said Connelly, who took his place at the Town Council meeting after the vote.
Stevenson, who owns a local taxi company, said during his speech to the precinct committeemen prior to the vote that he hopes in the future the town will be better about letting applicants to town board positions know why they weren't chosen. He also advocates Schererville consolidating its 911 dispatch with the county sooner rather than later, with the town doing everything it could to help find jobs for those who would be laid off in the process.
"Employers let people know why they weren't chosen for positions, so the town should do that, too," he said.

Probably you should see a dentist and find out the cause of the pain. |
You should definitely see a dentist, if it is abscessed it can damage your heart. |
Get rid of the wisdom teeth. |
There is an idea called a Godzilla which is a 6 volt battery connected to two moist sponges place one sponge on one cheek and the other on the other cheek the electricity passing through is not enough to feel but it is enough to kill bacteria and reduce the pain. It might sound funny but I have seen it work. |

Multiple Sclerosis: Treatment
The goals of multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment are to relieve symptoms, prevent relapses, and slow disease progression. The treatment and management of MS involves lifestyle changes, medicine, and other treatments, such as physical therapy or mental health services (counseling).
Treatment involves the following:
At this time, there are no surgical options to cure MS. But there is a surgical option, called deep brain stimulation, for patients who have severe tremor. Deep brain stimulation involves implanting a device in the brain that sends electrical signals, which can block the signals that are triggering the tremors.

HAVE: Adopt a Milkweed newbie - Part 2
posted by: kchd on 08.26.2013 at 06:19 pm in Seed Exchange Forum Butterfly enthusiasts: Do you wish more gardeners would plant milkweeds (Asclepias sp.) in their gardens to support declining monarch populations? Here's where we come together! This is a variation of previous adopt-a-newbie swaps, but the focus of this swap is for milkweed seeds. This exchange will run through the end of the year, as milkweed growers have seeds become available that they want to share. "Newbies" are considered to be gardeners who do not already have milkweed growing in their gardens. As recently pointed out in a post by docmom, Monarch butterflies are currently in serious decline. Here in the US, where they spend their breeding season, Monarchs are directly faced with habitat destruction. Monarch butterflies exclusively use milkweeds (Asclepias sp.) as their host plants, upon which they lay eggs and their caterpillars feed on the milkweed until they pupate. The planting of milkweeds in home gardens can greatly aid in providing much needed habitat for their conservation. In addition to serving as host plants for monarchs, milkweeds also provide nectar for many other butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Costs to the Milkweed Newbie Adoptee: Milkweed Newbie Adoptees: Traders who want to adopt a milkweed newbie: The host/hostess(es) will (that's me, and other helpful volunteers): Newbies who get contacted for adoption: Hoping there is lots of interest in this exchange. Feel free to pass the word around to generate more interest. Got questions? Feel free to ask them here. Want more info on Monarchs and Milkweed?

Easy Propagation Chamber

Interesting Olde Time-y Garden Tips
posted by: sunnibel7 on 01.27.2010 at 02:14 pm in Vegetable Gardening Forum So, my Mom got me this cool little book on Old Time Gardening Wisdom (I'd go get it and tell you the exact title, but the cat is currently sound asleep on my lap...) and there are a couple of interesting tips I thought I'd share.
The first one is that instead of timing your succession plantings every two weeks, sow your 2nd planting when the first has shown 3 inches above ground. That way you can avoid having multiple sowings sprout all at once if germination is delayed by a cold snap (and probably get a more evenly spaced harvest if growth is speeded by a warm spell). The second is to remove a few leaves from leggy seedlings when they are transplanted out. This will allow the stems to stay straight and unbroken and the roots won't have to support as many leaves all at once in the new, brighter surroundings. And the third, and to me most risky yet exciting, is to get rid of insect infestations with a hot-water shower. This is recommended for several different pests including aphids, spider mites, cabbage loopers and other caterpillars, and some beetles. Use water that is between 135 and 140 degrees F and only expose the plant for 1-3 seconds- the thicker the leaf, the longer it can handle the water. The first two seem like good common sense to me, and the third I will try. Probably on something I won't miss if I do parboil it by accident. Personally, I would be beside myself if I could get rid of the horrible spidermites with nothing more than hot water. And the tomatoes would get a little extra water, too! Just thought I would share!

Digging, Dividing and Winter Storage Of Tubers
posted by: dahliaboy on 09.04.2006 at 01:41 pm in Dahlia Forum I just wrote an article for my local extention's horticultural news on care and storage of tubers.
I'm reprinting it here for anyone who's interested. Dahlia Boy. The question I get asked the most about dahlias is "How do I dig, divide, and store my tubers for the winter?" Dahlia tubers will be destroyed if they are left in the ground during the winter here in Westchester County NY, so they need to be dug up each year. After the first frost, the dahlia plants will turn black and the leaves will collapse against the stems. Once this occurs, cut the plant down to about 4 inches above the ground and attach an identifying tag to the short stalk. Use a shovel or digging fork to carefully loosen the soil around the tuber clump and gently lift it from the ground. Wash all excess soil from the clump using a garden hose being careful not to damage the thin protective skin of the tubers. Let the clumps dry overnight in the garage allowing the protective skin around the tubers to harden or "cure." This will help maintain the proper amount of moisture in the tuber during its long winter's nap. Dahlia clumps should be divided and separated into individual tubers, using a knife or a long nosed clipper. Before dividing, remove any damaged tubers and all hair roots. Each tuber must have an eye. The eyes are located near the stem of the clump. I usually first divide the clump in half, making it easier to see the eyes more clearly and divide the individual tubers. Remember that you must remove part of the stem with an eye for that tuber to be a viable tuber. That being said, on occasion I have divided a tuber without a visible eye on the stem and an eye did appear during the over-winter storage period. Next, use an indelible marker such as a Sharpie to label each tuber. Place them in a one-gallon Ziploc bag filled with one-third vermiculite and 2 tablespoons of a fungicidal powder. (You can put a number of tubers of the same variety in one bag.) Shake the contents around in a Shake 'n Bake fashion to get the fungicidal powder to coat the tubers. I then write the variety's name on the outside of the bag and place the bags in a cardboard box that's lined with 12-15 sheets of newspaper for insulation. The bags are left open in the box and the box is closed and placed in my attic for winter storage. Tubers do best when maintained at a temperature between 38-50 degrees so it's critical to find the right area in you home, whether it's the attic, garage, or an unfinished basement. I usually check on my tubers once a month during the winter to ensure they aren't rotting. If you do notice a tuber rotting, remove it from the bag so that the fungus doesn't infect the remainder of the tubers. These steps will result in a viable supply of healthy tubers for the next growing season. Happy gardening, NOTES: Digging, dividing and storing Dahlia tubers

Don't know if this will help or not. One of the most mentioned immune enhancing herbs that I hear of is astragalus membranaceus, an Asian herb. I copied and pasted a small bit of info on it. Astragalus membranaceus: Also, Oil of Oregano is a powerful herb and is usually tolerated by most people. You have to buy it in an oil or capsule form. I have taken the capsules and other then, if you burp, it tasting like pizza, I never had a problem with it. You need to make sure it is from the wild oregano plants (should say on bottle) The carvacrol content is what you are looking for. Several popular nutrition companies put it out and you can sometimes even find it at the local drugstore. Info below copied from a couple locations. Hope this helps and hope you feel better soon! Oil of Oregano: Oil of oregano is antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic. It also has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and is an ideal product to use for people who suffer from CFS and/or fibromyalgia. This is not regular oregano, but a wild form (wild mountain oregano, vulgare species) of the spice, which has, until recently, not been available in Canada. Do not use a substitute or oregano from a grocery store because it will have no effect. oil of oregano natural herbal supplement offers a variety of remedies Furthermore, fungal resistance to oregano oil is exceptionally rare. Oregano is such a potent antifungal agent that it is capable of destroying even resistant fungal forms such as the mutated fungi which result from antibiotic therapy."

RE: WANTED: A Boost for my Immune System (Follow-Up #2)
posted by: starmoon on 03.14.2006 at 05:54 am in Seed Exchange Forum From someone who suffers from kidney stones myself, you may want to check out gravel root, aka joe pye weed. It's a great stone busting herb. I take it in a tincture form when I feel my kidneys "backing up". Here is more info on it:
http://www.holistic-online.com/Herbal-Med/_Herbs/h242.htm Uva ursi is another great herb to combine with gravel root for good urinary system heath. Here is a good description of how this herb works: http://wholehealthmd.com/refshelf/substances_view/1,1525,10063,00.html For immune system boosting, echinacea, goldenseal, vitamin C, cat's claw, ginseng and garlic are usually my first resort, but the best immune booster I am aware of is actually mushrooms, especially maitake mushrooms. Here is a great description of this mushroom's properties from ttp://www.whatreallyworks.co.uk/start/factsheets.asp?article_ID=112 Maitake: One of the more exotic immune-boosting supplements to get noticed in the West is the Maitake mushroom (Grifoloa frondosa) which grows to the size of a basketball deep in the mountains of Northeastern Japan. Highly prized for its immune-boosting properties, it has been shown to stimulate the immune response by activating the T-cells which are the body's own defence against viruses and cancer cells. Recent animal studies revealed that combining maitake extract with chemotherapy treatment resulted in a 99% tumour shrinkage in just 14 days. Studies in the US, Japan and the UK have also shown that giving maitake extract to HIV patients can help protect the body's disease-fighting T-cells which the HIV virus normally destroys. Said to improve liver function too, it contains powerful polysaccharides; chemicals known to boost the immune system and is currently in clinical trials with both HIV and cancer patients. The recommended dosage it between 3-7g per day. What your friend said about the antibiotics taking down your immune system is true. You may want to either get some acidophilus supplements to restore your good intestinal bacteria (they help you fight infection, as well doing as other good things like making vitamin k) or eat lots of yogurt containing these beneficial bacteria (Stonyfield Farms is the best). Good luck to you. -starmoon *) NOTES: Medicinal herbs-immune system

Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics
Do you need help with your child's short attention span … bedwetting … speech delay … anxiety? Our developmental and behavioral pediatricians at UMass Memorial Children's Medical Center can assist parents with these challenges and more.
Developmental and Behavioral Challenges We Can Help You With
We can help you with the developmental and behavioral challenges, including:
- Attention disorders
- Autism spectrum disorders
- Bedwetting
- Common parental concerns
- Developmental delay
- Fecal soiling
- Growth and nutrition problems
- Psychosocial aspects of chronic physical illness
- Recurrent pain syndromes
- Sleeping, eating, toileting and compliance difficulties
Developmental and Behavioral Specialty Clinics
Child Anxiety Disorders Clinic – Our specialists can see your child with generalized or specific fears and anxieties, as well as children who show separation problems often related to attending school. Children with physical symptoms (e.g., stomachaches, headaches and other unexplained pain) suspected to be related to anxiety levels are also treated. Treatment (done over several appointments) is based on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) principles, which emphasize the way anxious thoughts affect your child's behavior. These techniques have shown to reduce anxiety-related problems in children and teens, and are recommended nationally as the initial treatment approach for children with anxiety problems. We will evaluate the potential value of long-term therapy and medications in children who do not respond sufficiently to CBT techniques.
Child Behavior Clinic - This clinic provides child psychiatric assessment and short-term treatment for children from birth to five years of age who have emotional and/or behavioral problems. Parents or guardians can call 508-334-0532 for an appointment.
Growth and Nutrition Clinic - Staff provides evaluation and treatment of infants and young children with failure-to-thrive, eating and nutritional disorders, and assorted feeding problems caused by developmental and/or behavioral issues. Children are typically referred by primary care doctors who have already screened patients for potential underlying medical conditions known to cause poor weight gain or excessively narrow food choices.
Early Childhood Clinic - What happens if your child is not talking or otherwise developing as well as other children who are the same age? If parents are concerned or a screening done by their child's primary care provider indicates a possible problem, an evaluation should be done. The clinic provides diagnostic and referral services for children up to age 4. Our specialists address general developmental and behavioral concerns, and are experts in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). With developmental delays and ASD, getting an early start on intervention promotes better developmental outcomes.
Toileting Clinic - Our Toileting Clinic uses proven behavior modification strategies shown to encourage toilet training. The clinic also sees children with histories of chronic soiling and bedwetting. Children, ages 3 through 10, and parents usually attend four to six sessions at the clinic. Follow-up appointments are available when necessary. Our experts can also work closely with your child's doctor and your child's school to address toileting issues at school.
Autism Diagnostic Clinic - This clinic is a rapid assessment clinic for children whose primary care providers, early intervention therapists or parents are concerned specifically with a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder.

NW Seattle Open Houses: August 26, 2007
Open House: Ballard Tudor has Everything but the Backyard Bench, Read On…
Your house is as individual as you are. Furniture choice and updates are a peek into the inner psyche of a home owner. Some people truly steer far from the norm. Take a look at these amazing and unique homes.
Steve's Weird House: Seattle's Strangest Home & Private Museum!
Stephen resides in a Victorian home that is a cluttered combination of museum, library and art gallery, decorated with that old-world Addam's Family charm. Not only is every inch of every wall covered with art, but all the ceilings are also decorated.
Tony Alleyne, a Star Trek buff and interior designer from Hinckley, England, was bored with his flat in so decided to give it a futuristic look.
However, rather than stopping at a couple of chrome fixtures and a big easy chair, a la Captain Kirk, Tony transformed his home into an exact replica of the Starship Enterprise.
The flat features a fully-functional transporter room, a futuristic kitchen and bathroom, voice activated lighting system and all modern conveniences. He even tried to sell the apartment on EBay, with no success.

Street Corner Renaissance
Notable names (and blazers): Charles "Sonny" Banks and Maurice Kitchen; this is what we call an a cappella classic, ladies and gentlemen: jeans and blazers with bright fuchsia dress shirts and fedoras.
By the notes: The gentlemen of SCR are taking their turn at following their dreams by competing in The Sing-Off and they had a grand ole time putting a doo-wop twist on One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful," which EW premiered a few weeks ago. Shawn says, "y'all talk about swag, this is swag," while Jewel tells them they were great because they weren't worried about being perfect, they were just "testifying." Preach.
Notable names: Peaches, Sydnii "Jazz" Raymore, Emoni Wikins, DeeDee Yancey-Macky, John "Jontez" Montes: back-up singers are a gold mine.
By the notes: Collectively, these 10 singers have backed up the likes of Justin Timberlake, Nicki Minaj and Florence and the Machine, but they've never actually performed together in front of an audience. That might be why Rufus and Chaka Khan's "Tell Me Something Good" technically sounds great, but somehow doesn't leave much of an impression (except for their hair game, which is unrivaled). The judges all agree that Ten brought sounds to the stage they hadn't heard yet, but Ben thought they needed to work on telling a story with the song.
Notable names (nope, just blazers): Even though I liked their eclectic city-boho-chic look in their interview package more, I appreciate the head-to-toe sequins they brought to the stage. A cappella is glamorous, don't you forget it.
By the notes: All of the women of Element come from strong musical backgrounds, but I wish they had pushed their creativity a little further on Ellie Goulding's "Burn" — a promising start never quite went where I thought it could with the two soloists. Jewel loved Rachel's electronic drum loop, but felt the ladies rushed the pocket of the song.
Tidbits with Nick: "Let's check in with our periodic table of judges." Nick, what are you talking about?
Voice Play
Notable names (and blazers): You know the one: Honey LaRochelle. The gentlemen opted out of blazers and went for that other a cappella staple: vests.
By the notes: The five men of Voice Play are all performers at Universal Studios and brought in Honey to spice up their group (I'm dying to know where she works). The first half of "Feel This Moment" by Pitbull is your average great-sounding number, and then they start changing their sound about every line in the second half and things get both weird and interesting. Shawn thinks it took them a while to get into the groove and Ben says the harmonies were there but the mid-range was lacking.
The Filharmonic
Notable names (and blazers): Their group's name is hands down the best; hoodie vests, varsity jackets, blazers and hipster glasses…Filipino boy band, indeed.
By the notes: The Filharmonic unabashedly say they're inspired by '90s boy bands and they get out there and tear into "Treasure" by Bruno Mars, a great modern song that showcases a more nostalgic sound. The judges find VJ's lead (and smile), Jules' suave solo, and the bass to be particularly impressive.
Tidbits with Nick: Nick takes a special trip up to The Filharmonic box to mention that while he is not Filipino, his wife is half. That's it.
Notable names (and blazers): Banks Mattingly and Patrick "Young Fonty" Banks (seriously); all of the Kats' navy blazers with cream piping are of note.
By the notes: Interesting that they lined up these cute, fun guys right next to the last cute, fun guys, but the men from University of Kentucky held their own and then some. I cringed at all the aca-terminology thrown around in their intro package (acoustic-frat, yeesh), but an acousti-crush is a very real thing. I've had one, I have one and I'll have them again. Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" was both a risky and predictable choice, but Acoustikats weren't afraid to get weird with it: dancing, flirting and, frankly, gyrating all over the damn place. Ben says it was technique-fueled "responsible fun." Everyone points out Ron's octave-defying lead work, but I was equally impressed with the other soloist.
Tidbits with Nick:
Jewel: I need an acousti-shower after that.
Nick: Whoa, gonna have to take an acoustic-commercial here in a minute!
An update to this post-Pitch Perfect season is the "Ultimate Sing-Off" where the two groups in the bottom face off to an a cappella death by elimination. The Princeton Footnotes and Voice Play are selected by the judges as the bottom two and after going 10 times harder on N'Sync's "Bye Bye Bye" than either did in their original, Voice Play comes out of the first Ultimate Sing-Off victorious. My only objection to this new format is – no more swan songs? That means no more last shot for the groups to prove us wrong and for that, I cannot forgive "the producers of The Voice."
The next episode of The Sing-Off airs Wednesday, December 11th at 8:00 p.m. ET on NBC.

Translate this page Sanchez has sack in Aztecs Potato Bowl winFriday, January 31st, 2014 Issue 05, Volume 18.
"That was pretty nice. I think I played pretty well in that game, but it was nice to get that sack," Sanchez said. Buffalo reached the SDSU 16-yard-line during the fourth quarter. An incomplete pass created second down with ten yards needed for a first down. Sanchez then sacked quarterback Joe Licata for a seven-yard loss. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, which is an automatic first down if committed by the defense, was called against the Aztecs on the next play to give Buffalo the ball at the 12. The Bulls scored the games final touchdown four plays later. The seven-yard sack was Sanchezs only tackle of the game. "I think I did pretty well," he said. Jordan Thomas was the Aztecs starting left defensive end, although Sanchez saw significant playing time. "It was really cold, but it was a good experience," Sanchez said. In 2012 Sanchez played in the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego. He saw more playing time in his 2013 bowl game. "It was nice," he said. During the 2012 Poinsettia Bowl Sanchez had one solo tackle and one Advertisement "Its definitely better to end the season on a good note," he said of the Aztecs winning their 2013 bowl. Sanchezs family watched the game on television from their Murrieta home. December 21 was also his mothers birthday. "I asked her what she wanted and she said a win in the bowl game, so I got to give her that," the son of Priscilla Sanchez said. Sanchez played in all 13 of the Aztecs 2013 games. He made 22 tackles, 11 solo and 11 assisted, during the season. Four of those tackles, including two sacks, caused the opposing offense to lose yards. The 62", 265-pound Sanchez graduated from Vista Murrieta High School in 2011. As a true freshman during the 2011 college football season, Sanchez was on the Aztecs scout team which emulates the opposing teams formations during practices. He played in all 13 SDSU games during 2012 and had 21 tackles, including two for losses, while breaking up one pass. Thomas was a senior during the 2013 football season, which gives Sanchez the opportunity to become the first-string defensive end in 2014. "Im hoping to start next year," he said. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

Once outed as a fake, Thamsanqa Jantjie has been biding his time in a mental facility, but is now making his online comeback in a bizarre ad for Livelens.com.
It seems that for every sucker born, there's a grifter and a scam born too; from con artists like Elmyr de Hory and Frank Abagnale, Jr. to ingenious and not-so-ingenious hoaxes like the Lochness Monster and the Man in the Moon.
As fortunate as most people feel when they win a big payout in a lottery, the huge cash windfall can often bring ill fortune, including swarms of freeloaders, money-hungry grifters, untimely death and even murder.
New revelations have emerged about the inept sign language interpreter who made a mockery of Nelson Mandela's memorial service. Thamsanqua Jantjie has admitted he's a schizophrenic and suffered hallucinations during the service that was broadcast around the world. But South African news agency eNCA reports that the man who stood just feet away from the [...]
