IDEA Helps First Lady Shatter Record
Making News:
On October 11, 2011, you may have felt the earth shake—and it had nothing to do with a natural seismic event. As part of her Let's Move! campaign to fight childhood obesity, First Lady Michelle Obama urged all Americans to join her in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most people performing jumping jacks in a 24-hour period. And they did it! The previous record was set by 20,000 people. An astonishing 300,265 people across the nation helped Mrs. Obama break the record and make history—while shining a spotlight on the childhood obesity epidemic.For the latest research, statistics, sample classes, and more, "Like" IDEA on Facebook here.

I'm looking for suggestions of garden books to order.
Most interested in ones that are for a specific type of gardening. Like: Butterfly/bird vegetable South west or midwest regional Wildflowers Heirloom plants etc. Probably my all time favorite is Allan Lacy's Autumn Garden. It is beautifully illustrated with full color pictures and very well written. It inspires me to dream about how a garden can be "someday" and names specific plants for me to search and wish for. I guess this is my garden wish book. Please list garden books that you have enjoyed and a little bit about what made them a bit better than the usual. I sorta prefer ones that have been around a while but if if's new and still special to you, that's fine too. Thanks Bethb |

i really like square foot gardening. we do a lot of container/raised bed gardening and i find this really helps me figure out how much to plant and where to put it. kind of basic and i'm pretty sure there are a lot f books out there on the subject, but i like the layout of this one too-- a page for each veggie giving space requirements, soil needs, planting and harvesting tables, etc. |

Rose, you are so right on that book. I have used it for years I garden now mostly in containers but used a lot of the techniques even in my regular garden. Great for anyone trying to start with veggies or grow more in a smallish space. Thanks for mentioning it. BB |

I've been watching and reading about this DuckyAUV for the past hour and trying to figure out his micropropulsor system. I'm interested to know how this is different from the off-the-shelf brushless motor arrangement we're using. Also curious to see how it holds up in salt water.
even though the construction looks messy, i was quite impressed with the speed and maneuverability of the ducky auv in the there second test video
I agree with SpringHalo, these are just normal BL motors with sensors(hall sensors) so they can monitor and adjust the speed precise. this is common available in commercial BL servo motors.
I must also say that their build looks so terribly assembled, that i would never buy anything from a company that shows off so poorly made stuff. theyre probably very good at electronic engineering, but not at building systems. they probably spent several hundred hours on electronics and software, but not a dime on proper enclosure or pressure-sealing.
(i work with ROV parts, and subsea electronics/mechanics for oil/gas industry, so ive seen and built alot of electronic systems like this.)
the OpenROV looks 100times more professional than this in my opinion.

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.
[MESA] PNA/ISRAEL/US - PLO ambassador says Palestinian state should be free of Jews

WASHINGTON - The Palestine Liberation Organization's ambassador to the
United States said Tuesday that any future Palestinian state it seeks with
help from the United Nations and the United States should be free of Jews.
"After the experience of the last 44 years of military occupation and all
the conflict and friction, I think it would be in the best interest of the
two people to be separated," Maen Areikat, the PLO ambassador, said during
a meeting with reporters sponsored by The Christian Science Monitor. He
was responding to a question about the rights of minorities in a Palestine
of the future.
Such a state would be the first to officially prohibit Jews or any other
faith since Nazi Germany, which sought a country that was judenrein, or
cleansed of Jews, said Elliott Abrams, a former U.S. National Security
Council official.
Israel has 1.3 million Muslims who are Israeli citizens. Jews have lived
in "Judea and Samaria," the biblical name for the West Bank, for thousands
of years. Areikat said the PLO seeks a secular state, but that
Palestinians need separation to work on their own national identity.
The Palestinian demand is unacceptable and "a despicable form of
anti-Semitism," Abrams said. A small Jewish presence in a future
Palestine, up to 1% of the population, would not hurt the Palestinian
identity, he said.
"No civilized country would act this way," Abrams said.
Israel has often complained of anti-Semitic views in Palestinian
discourse. Palestinian media frequently publishes and broadcasts
anti-Semitic sermons by Islamic religious leaders, while the Hamas-run
Al-Aqsa TV shows programming for preschoolers that extolls hatred of Jews
and suicide bombings, according to a 2009 State Department human rights
The PLO seeks a U.N. vote on Palestinian statehood when the U.N. General
Assembly meets in New York City next week. Areikat said Palestinian
negotiators have been stymied in peace talks with the Israelis because of
the two sides' unequal status before international legal institutions such
as the U.N. and the International Criminal Court, where Israel is a full
member and the Palestinians are not. The Palestinians hope the increased
pressure will push the Jewish state to agree to their demands.
"We are trying to preserve the concept of a two-state solution," Areikat
said. "And to make the Israelis understand there will be consequences for
their actions."
The Obama administration has promised to veto the statehood bid if it
reaches the U.N. Security Council.
"This shortcut is not going to create a Palestinian state," U.S.
Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice said. "We continue to urge them and
convince them that would be self-defeating."

Glyndon Raymond Leach
December 29, 1946 - February 7, 2012
View Guestbook | Sign Guestbook | Print |
Glyndon "Ray" Leach was born December 29, 1946 to Glyndon "Dewey" and Lavern Leach in Fargo, ND. As a boy, Ray, his father Dewey, his mother Lavern and his younger sister, Diane moved to Valley City, ND from their home in Enderlin, where they remained throughout their school years.
He was junior groomsman in his uncle Virgil Franson's wedding where he first met junior bridesmaid Cleone Buchholz and he was immediately smitten. She, however, was not. Years later in high school, they met once again. There the story changed. Ray and Cleone began seeing one another and something sparked between them. They continued to date when Ray heard the Marine Corps calling out to him. He answered the call and served honorably in Vietnam alongside some of the best men he had the privilege to call lifelong friends.
The day after Cleone turned 21, Feb 10, 1968; they joined their lives in the eyes of God and man. They lived near El Toro Marine base in California until the end of his enlistment. They made the move back to North Dakota and started adding to their family in the subsequent years. Ray worked a few jobs before starting his lifelong career at Steiger Tractor, now Case New Holland.
He loved spending time afield hunting, sitting in the boat attempting to land a large walleye, but he wasn't afraid to keep the "eaters" either. He was a man of many skills, who was looking forward to his upcoming retirement that was due to start this coming summer. He planned on doing a lot of fishing, The Fisher of Men had other plans though, he hooked a keeper at 11:30 in the evening on February 6, 2012.
Ray enjoyed cooking (and eating), camping, especially with his sons during their many years in the Boy Scouts of America and fishing expeditions with his friends and co-workers. He enjoyed traveling around the country as well as Canada and Mexico with Cleone, going to auctions and collecting antique cast iron cookware.
Ray leaves behind his loving wife, Cleone Leach; mother, Lavern; sister, Diane (Gary) Swailes; two sons, Kory (Jessica) and Travis (Keri); three handsome grandsons, Cameron Mjoness, Conner and Wyatt Leach and one lovely granddaughter, Kaitlin Leach.
Ray is preceded in eternal rest by his father, Dewey Leach.

So much for the editorial side agreement that was supposed to protect The Wall Street Journal's editorial independence from News Corp. meddling.
And so much for the five luminaries who make up the committee designed to enforce the agreement.
The rapid ejection of Marcus Brauchli as managing editor of the world's leading financial publication—like a dead dugong blown from a didgeridoo—reveals the value of that particular bureaucracy.
Five Mr. Bill dolls molded with facial expressions of concern and dismay would have done as well. Oooh nooo! There goes Marcus. Oooh!
The fact is, however, that the committee's powers are broader than cynics—and there are so many of them—would have you believe, and that the committee, led by Chairman Thomas Bray, a former Detroit News editorial page editor, in fact does have sign-off responsibilities on this particular staffing change.
Other committee members are: Lou Boccardi, former CEO of The Associated Press; Jack Fuller, former president of Tribune Publishing; Susan Phillips, dean of the George Washington University business school; Nicholas Negroponte, founding chairman of M.I.T.'s Media Lab. Each is paid $100,000 a year, plus expenses.
Efforts to reach Bray and other committee members were unsuccessful. A Dow Jones spokesman declined to comment.
Under the deal's terms, the committee has rights of approval not only over hiring and firing of the M.E., but over material changes to the terms and conditions of his employment.
The language is here, with my emphasis:
The Special Committee shall have rights of approval over
(i) Appointment and removal of each of the Editors (including any material changes in the terms and conditions of employment of each such Editor that could give rise to constructive termination, such as a material reduction in compensation, relocation of principal place of employment, material change in duties or responsibilities and the like); and
(ii) Changes to the authority, reporting relationship and consultation rights
("Consultation rights" are extensive and include Brauchli's power to hire and remove subordinates and control the news budget. "Editors," uppercase, refers to the managing editor, the editorial page editor, and, for some reason, the head of Dow Jones Newswires, all of whom are supposed to be protected.)
The fact that Brauchli didn't object, and in fact is rumored to be handsomely compensated in return for his resignation, does not let the committee off the hook, if that's what it is looking for.
Its duties are not to Brauchli, but to the newspaper, and to readers, for that matter. And if changes to the "authority, reporting relationship and consulting rights" were not apparent from the huge changes brought by the installation of Robert Thomson as Brauchli's boss, which committee members could have learned from reading the newspaper they are supposed to protecting (1), then it was clear this week, when Brauchli exited and said in a memo to the staff that he had "come to believe the new owners should have an editor of their own choosing."
If it had any doubts, the committee even has the power to hire lawyers and investigators if needed "in connection with performing its duties and responsibilities, or exercising its rights," the deal says.
In his statement, Brauchli characterizes the editorial deal narrowly, saying the document was "designed to protect our independence" and "to block commercial or political interference in our journalism." He says, "new management scrupulously has avoided imposing any political or business viewpoints on our coverage and rigorously has enforced the code of conduct."
That may be true, but the document doesn't actually include any broad statement of purpose. It doesn't say why it was "designed."
One could much more easily make the case that the document was "designed" to do what it says: give an outside committee veto power over "changes to the authority, reporting relationship and consultation rights" of the three "Editors," including Brauchli.
Again, consultation rights are extensive and mean "all news decisions" and "use of staff."
If one wanted to depart from the four corners of the text, as Brauchli's statement does, one could say the agreement is designed to give the managing editor the authority to run the news operation, which it obviously is.
The committee clearly also misunderstands its own role, as the Journal reported:
In a statement late Tuesday, committee members said they'd questioned Mr. Brauchli about his decision, and he had assured them that his exit had "nothing to with any integrity issue at the Journal." The committee said it would "exercise its responsibility in connection with the selection of a successor."
Yes, but the departure had everything to do with his job being changed wholesale, which is the committee's key, probably sole, responsibility.

Hi, House is coming along, with cabinets to be put in in the next couple of days. After they are in, I'm going to put down luxury vinyl planks in the entry, hall, bath, mudroom, dining room and kitchen. In other words, everywhere but living room and den. My question is, which way should I orient the planks--lengthwise down the hallway, or perpendicular to the hallway? I think we will be able to avoid any transitions within the same flooring. I'm leaning towards having the planks go parallel to the hall, meaning running from the front of the house to the back. But then the planks will be perpendicular to the long dimension of the dining room/kitchen area. Any thoughts? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Personally, I would want the flooring to run parallel to the longest dimension of my largest/most used rooms. |
- Posted by littlebug5 (My Page) on Sat, Sep 21, 13 at 23:37
We just had real hardwood installed. According to our installer, you really don't have a choice. He ALWAYS installs planks perpendicular to floor joists. I don't know if it makes a difference if the planks are vinyl instead of real wood. |
How about on a diagonal? We did this in our build and we get nothing but compliments. |
I would run yours across the foyer/hallway and in the same direction as the kitchen/dining room direction. I like to have the light from windows hit the plank *across* it instead of *along* it. LVT is different from hardwood in that it is a floating installation (often) and doesn't need to fasten to the joists. So, the joist direction doesn't influence the direction of the planks. |
- Posted by lavender_lass (My Page) on Sun, Sep 22, 13 at 13:47
Cam- Didn't your kitchen used to be on the same side as the garage? Did you change your plan? As for vinyl/wood flooring, I've always liked the idea. But, I have that in the bathroom we just remodeled...and it's easy to clean, but doesn't look as much like wood as I thought. It does from a distance, but not up close. For the powder room or mud room I think it would be fine...but make sure you see some installed (if possible) before putting it in the kitchen and dining room. Of course, yours might be a much higher quality than what we used. |
So it sounds like the general idea is to have it run side-to-side (perpendicular to the hall)? That's interesting, I figured we would do it the other way, and wonder if it would look weird to have planks running the short way down the hall... but honestly, if you all say do it, you haven't steered me wrong yet! :) ddr000, as neat as that would be, I'm installing it myself and definitely don't have the stomach or patience for a diagonal install. LL, yes we changed plans. If you'll recall, we had to change builders and were having trouble finding one who would build our previous slaved-over plan (that everyone here so graciously provided much input on). It was an extremely difficult decision after spending a year working on it. I came across the plan on our iPad and got sad thinking about how neat that house would have been. But, a house is not our entire life, and it was time to move on and focus on other things. We're still thrilled with our new house, and I don't know that I've ever been in a house I like better, regardless of cost. We're using Traffic Master Allure Plus from Home Depot. I have it under my desk at the office right now, and I think it looks and feels great. The other option in our budget was laminate, and I think these planks look and feel better (and are far more water resistant) than laminate. I want a floor I don't have to worry about my kids and dogs destroying! Thanks everyone! |
I haven't looked at floating floor specs for a long time, so I could be way off - but are you sure you don't need an expansion gap in a 25' run of flooring (entry through dining room)? I think plank flooring looks best parallel to the longest wall, and the long way in a hallway. In your case, that means changing direction between the hall and the dining room. That's the way I would go. |

Cam- I'm sure this house will be lovely, too...it seems very similar to your plan. I thought you just flipped the living room and mudroom/garage areas. Maybe I'm alone, but I think the wood planks should be the same direction as the hall, too. Have you looked at wood floors to see how they run? Let me see if I can find some pictures...
These are the first three I found...and I believe you could change direction in the kitchen/dining room (if necessary) with a trim piece. Hope this helps :) |
Here is one they changed directions on. But, I have seen foyers running cross-wise so that the main floor area can be the "right direction". |
And, here is one running "crossways". |
There are more: |
Kirkhall, great finds! You are truly so helpful. I really like the way that the later looks. While changing directions makes a bit of sense, really, most of the area we will put this flooring is pretty horizontal--the entry, dining/kitchen, and mudroom. It's only not ideal in the hall, but really that hallway is pretty short, and as your pics show, it looks just fine running the short way down a hallway. Thanks again, we were just discussing this before I saw your post and I was wishing I could see how it would look! |
- Posted by lavender_lass (My Page) on Wed, Sep 25, 13 at 12:17
Kirkhall- I like that middle picture! The way the edge 'frames' the flooring, against the staircase is really nice. The other two are okay, but it almost looks like the stairs were added after the floor was laid down. Of course, I love trim...and vintage/traditional details, so that might be influencing me a bit :) |
Yes. If I had real wood floors, I think I might also go for the tone of the middle picture, Lavender. That floor, in particular, is beautiful, and that house is expensive (or at least has expensive details). You're welcome Cam. I, for one, really like to "see" it before I do it. Houzz has become an invaluable tool for that. |

Pistons Weekly Recap: December 28 – January 5
Detroit looked to get their winning ways back on track against the Washington Wizards Saturday night. Unfortunately for the Pistons, the Wizards had other plans.
Washington scored 62 points in the first half, in which the Pistons put forth their worst defensive effort of the season.
Coach Maurice Cheeks was so upset with his team, that he decided to bench Josh Smith for the entire second half. Read More…

In it, Bishop Spong deplores the way the bible has been used to justify most of the world's evils; from gender inequality, homosexuality and child abuse, to capital punishment, the environment, and birth control.

The 'kingdom of God' is the term Jesus used to express his vision of a profound transformation of human beings and human institutions—social, political, economic and religious—to fully express the character and nature of God—a God of love. To accomplish this vision, Jesus worked toward the creation of a new kind of community dedicated to values of compassion, generosity, peace, and justice. He was creating a movement for change, a people engaged in a vast conspiracy of love.
read moreI find it fascinating that an institution which at its very core is about transformation, does all it can to resist change. Ironically from its earliest manifestations, the Christian path has always been about transformation. The Jesus story is first and foremost about changing our perspective, our purpose and ultimately our lives. What else but transformation could the story of a poor peasant who becomes a respected rabbi, a teacher of a new way of living, mean? How else can we interpret the intent of Jesus' actual teachings like breaking down social barriers, forgiving our enemies and loving abundantly without qualifications than with steps to an inner and social transformation? What could being spiritually born again mean other than transformation? What does the symbol of resurrection mean other than transformation?

Encapsulated Islets—Different Techniques Being Studied
The goal of all islet encapsulation research is to prevent the need for immunosuppressive drugs. These drugs prevent the immune system from attacking the new islet cells but cause serious complications of their own. Encapsulation technology involves enclosing insulin-producing islet cells in a semi-permeable membrane that allows small molecules, like glucose, insulin, and nutrients to pass but prevents larger immune-system molecules from entering.
There are three types of encapsulation being studied-microcapsules, diffusion chambers, and perfusion devices. A report written by the Department of Surgery at Deaconess Hospital in Boston and published in Clinical Pharmacokinetics, June 1995, detailed the efficacy of each method.
"Microcapsules injected into the abdominal cavity in a large quantity achieved glycaemic control, but required a small amount of immunosuppression to prevent fibrosis around the capsules."
Diffusion chambers placed in the abdomen of diabetic dogs resulted in "excellent glycaemic control without immunosuppression...However, their use was limited by the eventual breakage of tubular chambers."
The researchers at Deaconess Hospital report using a vascularized artificial pancreas for treatment of diabetes in dogs.
"Long term control of severe diabetes mellitus was achieved in totally pancreatectomised dogs without immunosuppression by devices seeded with [dog and pig] islets. [If developed successfully], the vascularised artificial pancreas could be an excellent alternative to DCCT-type intensive insulin therapy or pancreatic transplantation."

Skate- and surf-inspired accessories company Nixon has a couple of upcoming products on display: A ruggedized Bluetooth speaker "that's truly go-anywhere" and a cool silicone cable wrap for their earbud speakers.
The water-resistant silicone-skinned speaker, with its Rams-like design, is pretty chunky and substantial; it's a bit larger than a brick. It's also made to be tough. "You won't have to worry about dropping this thing or banging it around," said the rep. He then tossed the thing up in the air and let it hit the floor with a thud. While it was still on the ground, he proceeded to step and stand on it. After he picked it back up, the dust wiped off of the silicone cleanly.
Volume and playback buttons are up top, molded into the silicone; on the sides are the power button and ports for USB and audio input, covered by water-resistant seals.
The cable wrap's a neat little affair, with a central compartment that you pop the buds into; then you just wind the rest of the cable around the slit in the perimeter.
The guys at Nixon are saying both will be ready to go early this year.

Rep. Sam Smith announces retirement
By: WJAC Web Staff and The Associated Press
HARRISBURG -- Pennsylvania House Speaker Sam Smith, of Jefferson County, announced Tuesday he won't be running for another term and will retire this year.
Smith said his heart isn't in the job anymore and that he can't give the constituents of the 66th district his full commitment any longer. Smith, 58, told friends and associates his plans in private on Monday. His term will end Nov. 30.
Smith's decision will end his service as the top state House official after four years. Smith has been a member of the state House for 14 terms, beginning in 1987.
Smith became speaker in 2011 after nearly eight years as the House Republican floor leader, serving through a time when a corruption investigation by the state attorney general's office resulted in jail terms for five former top House lawmakers.
In addition to Jefferson County, Smith's district also includes parts of Armstrong and Indiana counties.
Smith is a 1973 graduate of Punxsutawney Area High School and a 1978 graduate of Penn State University.

Western Maine Community Action, Inc. to Receive $200,000 Grant | ||||||
Washington, D.C., Aug 14, 2012
-- Bangor, ME 04402-0405 ♦Voice (207) 990-9160 ♦ Email: firstname.lastname@example.com ♦ Web: www.rurdev.usda.gov/me Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced today that "USDA has a strong partnership with rural citizens and communities to bring increased economic opportunity," Vilsack said. "These grants are investments that will help organizations build the capacity and expertise of local businesses, which in turn will spur economic activity and strengthen rural economies. " USDA Rural Development State Director Virginia Manuel said, "I am very pleased that Western Maine Community Action has received our Rural Development grant, which will allow them to have a major impact on services to area seniors, including training professionals to work with them to make informed choices on energy efficiency improvements to their homes, as well as addressing other critical needs that will allow many Maine seniors to continue to live independently." In Maine Western Community Action, Inc., in East Wilton has been selected to receive a Rural Community Development Initiative Grant in the amount of $200,000. The funds will be used to allow the Maine Keeping Seniors Home program to introduce a Regional Collaboration focusing on regional job creation and technical assistance and training for Maine's energy auditors, private contractors, and other community assistance providers and partners, and investing in other key support services for the elderly. Western Maine Community Action Executive Director Fenwick Fowler added "Rural Maine has an increasing aging population who hope to live in their own homes the rest of their lives. These funds will train a workforce to help seniors renovate their homes so they can live independently longer. The network of 10 community actions are working collaboratively with 5 Area Agencies on Aging to assure this happens throughout Maine. The USDA Rural Development funding is instrumental in helping Maine prepare for our aging population." The funding announced today is being provided through the Rural Community Development Initiative Program (RCDI). It helps community-based development organizations, federally recognized Indian tribes and other groups promote economic growth in low-income, rural communities. Recipients are required to obtain matching funds, which increase the value of the grants. Funding for each project is contingent upon the recipient meeting the terms of the grant agreement. For a complete list of projects, click here. President Obama's plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President's leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America's economy, small towns and rural communities. USDA's investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values. President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack are committed to a smarter use of Federal resources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural communities. USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has an active portfolio of more than $170 billion in loans and loan guarantees. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America. # USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

SiteSeer, have you actually lived in both a developed country AND in India? The chronic slowness of everything in India that the Economist describes is spot-on.
AS INDIA'S largest, most multicultural city, Mumbai is a fairly liberal place and its business culture tends to be professional, but informal and friendly. Mumbaikars are famous for their chalta hain (laid-back) attitude. But traditions still hold in many areas of behaviour, and it's wise to be prepared. These tips (part of a series) should help you.
Working habits
• Do not expect Western levels of speed and efficiency. Getting a document delivered by courier, sending a fax, or simply gathering colleagues for a business meeting can all take far longer than seems reasonable. The same goes for punctuality: if someone promises to meet you in ten minutes, expect arrival in 20.
• Indians often over-promise in an effort to please: admitting a job is difficult to get done is often considered rude or weak.
• Job descriptions in India tend to be strictly defined, in line with the principle that a person's place in society is based on what they do. This can extend to routine office tasks that Westerners are used to performing themselves. Be careful not to step on toes.
• Mumbaikar professionals tend to speak good English, though often with a heavy accent, imaginative grammar and liberal doses of slang. Asking someone to repeat himself is perfectly acceptable; correcting his English is not.
• The city's most important festival is Diwali (Festival of Lights) in November, when business associates exchange small gifts and boxes of sweets or dried fruits. It is considered especially auspicious to start a new business or seal a deal at this time.
Meeting and greeting
• Men tend to wear business suits to meetings and lunches, but often remove their jackets for dinner and at the office. Some companies maintain "casual Fridays".
• Breakfast meetings are rare; the working day tends to begin around 9.30-10am. Business lunches tend to be leisurely affairs: 90 minutes is not uncommon.
• A handshake is the most common form of greeting, but some women prefer to say hello or press their palms together in a traditional namaste greeting. A man should wait for a woman to extend her hand before extending his, particularly if she is wearing traditional Indian clothing.
• Bring plenty of business cards; you will be handing them out frequently, and not having enough is considered rude.
• Mumbai's traffic is notoriously bad: allow ample time if you need to cross the city to get to a meeting. When choosing your hotel, bear in mind where most of your meetings will take place.
Eating and drinking
• Many Indians are vegetarian for religious reasons. Meat-eating Hindus will consume only chicken and lamb. Muslims will eat no pork; more observant Muslims will only eat halal (ritually slaughtered) meat. If you have invited someone to dinner, enquire about his eating preferences before ordering steak or spare ribs.
• Alcohol is usually avoided at lunch, less so at dinner. Inviting a female business associate for a drink is no longer taboo, but remember not all women are comfortable drinking in public.
Off duty
• Favourite topics of conversation are politics, family, sport and food. Commenting on Mumbai's poverty, slums or beggars should be avoided.
• Although the city's official name is now "Mumbai" (and politicians will favour the official term), many people still use "Bombay" in conversation. Go with the flow.
• Very little business gets done in Mumbai when a big cricket match is on. Visitors would do well to catch up on cricket news, especially the latest exploits of Sachin Tendulkar, a local hero.

A Tradition of Sweet Dance
As the stockings are hung and lights are aglow, there's no doubt that images of sugarplums, the Snowflake Waltz, and the delicious Land of the Sweets will dance in your head. The Nutcracker, accompanied by Tchaikovsky's famous score, will be featured live on stage in several Suffolk locations this holiday season.

"I try not to be too paranoid, but truth of the matter is, under federal law it is not a hundred percent legal," says Kevin. The risk is worth it, however, since Kevin's services have been in high demand lately. With the number of marijuana patients swelling, the need for medicine has outpaced the supply. Some dispensaries have instituted limits on how much medicine its customers can buy so they can ration their stock.
Kevin is a caregiver for about twenty patients, which allows him to cultivate up to 120 plants on their behalf — though he's careful never to cultivate more than 99 at a time — the amount that would trigger a five-year mandatory minimum drug sentence if federal authorities ever come knocking. Kevin gives each of his patients an ounce of free medicine a month; he sells the rest, roughly a pound a month, to half a dozen dispensaries in Denver and Colorado Springs for $250 an ounce. The dispensaries typically turn it around for nearly double that, he says.
Prices for marijuana vary widely, depending on the quality, the grower and the dispensary. As an example, however, a patient could typically buy a quarter ounce for $100 to $150 (on the high side). There are around 28 grams in an ounce, so if a person put half a gram in each joint and smoked one joint per day, that pot would last for two to three weeks. At that rate, a month's worth of medicine would cost $200 to $300.

The industry has also spurred a wide range of pot-related support services and products. Lakewood commercial insurance agent Edward Leonard, for instance, helped a Boulder dispensary obtain a policy last October, and has since become the go-to guy for dispensary insurance, having worked with 23 operations.
"There are lots of insurance agents in Denver that would like to have this business," says Leonard, since he's one of the few who's been able to find an insurance company (which he wouldn't reveal) willing to write a policy that covers general liability and personal property at a dispensary, plus limited coverage for product for sale.
Then there's Naresh Chandranatha, whose website, MMJLine, and call-in phone number, catalogues the ever-increasing number of Colorado dispensaries. "We are essentially a 411 for dispensaries," says Chandranatha, who gets a few hundred calls a day for information. Dispensaries are listed for free, but some pay for advertising.
Those who want to grow their own meds might want to seek out the expertise of "Hans," a legendary marijuana cultivator known for helping develop the "sea of green" mass-production technique. Hans recently relocated to Colorado from Tucson, and he's teaching growing classes at a downtown dispensary, the Peace in Medicine Center.
Hans recently shot footage in town for his popular "Cooking with Marijuana" DVD series — quite fitting, since he filmed the first movies here a decade ago.
"The atmosphere in Denver ten years ago when we made the videos was such that we had to hide the house we were working in, we all wore masks, and we swore the cameramen to secrecy," he says. "Now we did it in an open, public forum at Owsley's Golden Road. We smoked right on stage, and the patients who were there with their cards were able to share in the food."
In Crestone, two businessmen just opened the High Valley Healing Center, the state's first medical cannabis retreat, and in Longmont, Mitchell Shenassa has been singing the praises of the Incredibowl. "We are putting people on the moon, and pipes haven't changed in 300 years," he explains. "For soccer moms and business executives who were smoking joints in high school, we wanted to step it up to the next level."
Shenassa and his business partners spent the past three years developing three-dimensional models and working with engineers they located through Craigslist ads. The result was the Apollo 11 of weed pipes — featuring a polycarbonate expansion chamber and a smoke-injection nozzle — which now retails primarily at Colorado dispensaries for $200, or half that for registered patients. "The dispensaries are a new market," Shenassa says.
Waiting in the dispensary for my appointment with the on-site physician is every bit as tedious and mind-numbing as a trip to a run-of-the-mill doctor's office.
As soon as I'm inside the dispensary, the security guard shows me to a waiting room where a table is stocked with clipboards full of forms to fill out. Through a doorway, customers lounge on a cushy leather couch, watching the History Channel on a flat-screen TV while waiting for their turn to enter the pharmacy room in the back. While the dispensary features a pool table, free fruit and munchies, complimentary chair massages and even a bar where people can ingest their medicine of choice by inhaling it through a vaporizer, all that's off limits to me until I get certified. To help speed up that process, well-dressed workers scurry all around me, Xeroxing driver's licenses, collecting appointment fees, pointing out the on-site ATM, writing out $90 money orders to be sent to the state health department along with each application. Between the chaos and the fact that my back is acting up, I'm starting to feel like I could really use a hit.

ADA Takes a Stand on Interventions for Childhood Obesity
The American Dietetic Association (ADA) has issued a new Position Paper to help parents, educators and other health professionals stem the tide of childhood obesity on a grass-roots level. Titled "Position of the ADA: Individual-, Family, School-, and Community-Based Interventions for Pediatric Overweight," the paper is the first to draw conclusions from an extensive, evidence-based review of the literature using a new analytic approach developed by the ADA.
While based on the latest research, the paper is also chock-full of practical strategies for getting involved in local efforts to help kids stay lean. Here is an excerpt from the Position Statement, which appeared in the June 2006 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association:
"The American Dietetic Association (ADA), recognizing that overweight is a significant problem for children and adolescents in the United States, takes the position that pediatric overweight intervention requires a combination of family-based and school-based multi- component programs that include the promotion of physical activity, parent training/modeling, behavioral counseling and nutrition education. . . . ADA supports the commitment of resources for programs, policy development, and research for the efficacious promotion of healthful eating habits and increased physical activity in all children and adolescents, regardless of weight status."
The paper details specific, feasible actions that parents, teachers and health professionals can employ on a local level. For a blueprint on how fitness professionals can contribute to a similar grass-roots effort by developing physical activity programs in local schools, see the March 2007 issue of this magazine.

I'm in the midst of several house projects not to mention half completed holiday decorating, but I have to share my chandelier decoration. The greenery is a leftover piece of the cedar garland I used outdoors (which in itself is a great deal, $14.99 for 25' @costco) and the "crystals" we're $1 each and the center ornament maybe $3 at target last year. I should admit I'm using the term chandelier quite loosely, perhaps just light fixture would be more accurate- regardless I specifically wanted one like this just so I could decorate it at Christmas time. Anyway, here she is: The lighting was making it hard to get a decent photo. And please ignore my lovely, half missing, vertical blinds. Replacement drapes are one of the projects I'm currently working on at the moment. |

Deviled eggs have their roots in ancient Roman recipes with the first published recipes for stuffed, boiled eggs were from medieval Europe. In the 17th century, this was a common way to prepare eggs. they were not called "deviled" until the 18th Century, in England. The term "deviled" means:
Cook eggs according to the How To Boil Eggs instructions:
Extremely fresh eggs are not recommended when making hard-boiled eggs. They are very difficult to peel. Boiling eggs is the best use for eggs nearing their expiration date. How To Center Yolks: To help center the yolks in the eggs, the night before the eggs are to be cooked (approximately 12 hours), store your eggs on their sides in the refrigerator. Seal the egg carton with a piece of tape and turn on its side to center the yolks.

I am trying to find some bulk compost to buy in the Tampa area, but have come up short. I need about 3 yards or so, so I didn't want to go buy tons of bags from HD/Lowes. The best I have found so far is a place that has top soil and Potting soil in bulk. The potting soil has a considerable amount of composted horse manure in it.
I was going to use a modified version of Mel's Mix (less peat than he calls for). Any suggestions? I can get some of the topsoil or potting mix, and mix in some bagged compost, vermiculite, and peat, or just use the straight potting soil, as I assume it will have pearlite/vermiculite mixed in, or I could just mix some peat and potting mix/top soil, or FINALLY I could use their top soil in place of compost. Please help... I'm just not sure what the best approach is. Thanks. |

A potting mix is probably already going to have plenty of peat in it. As the last ditch effort, I'd go with bulk potting mix plus some additional compost. Not sure if this is the place yo've already contacted: Also, at the grocery store, look to see where the mushrooms come from. If it is within driving range the mushroom operations usually sell straight bulk compost. |
Thanks. I thought I had looked at that place, but when I looked at their website again, it listed compost in bulk. Thanks. Sad that I couldn't figure that out, but a guy in Texas could. I will check the mushrooms today too. |
They didn't have it either... even though their website says they do... back to square 1. |
- Posted by ray_scheel z8b/SS31 E. TX (My Page) on Tue, Sep 12, 06 at 18:14
Since this is a frequent question, I'll ususally run a search to see if I can spot something obvious that's been missed; along the way I've gotten a good eye for finding potential compost dealers. Too bad this one was also was a dry well. The other option is to start calling landscape supply companies (the ones that carry stone and statuary) or concrete and materials companies (many of whom also stock bulk fill) and see if they either carry bulk compost or know who does. |
I have been calling around, and to no avail. I find it so strange that I can't find any. Seems like all the nurseries and such would use it in bulk. I may be mixing bagged compost into some potting soil. I have a few more leads to follow up on and still haven't checked the mushrooms at the store for a local grower. |
your looking in the wrong place. you want a landscape supply place not a nursery hardware store. |
Oh, don't worry... I called them too. I ended up buying potting soil, with one of the components being composted horse manure. I amended with lots of compost. |
Does anyone know where I can buy bulk mushroom compost in Northwest Florida, around the Walton county area. Anywhere from Tallahassee area up. |
angiealf, I hear your call, near Tallahassee. From Talla. go out US 90 east about 12 or so miles to the nursery on your left, they have it ,but come for a load as they wont sell less than a yard per sale. Good luck on your buy. |
- Posted by benjammin1322 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 14, 10 at 15:10
Tallahassee Nursery sells mushroom compost by the yard. There is also a place in Quincy that sells I think. I am also looking for places in Tampa, if anyone finds one post here. Thanks =) |

Rhyming about getting rid
of gun violence in the USA
We got to do something about this gun violence, because it's definitely gotten out of hand.
It is no longer a problem for the lower class communities, it's a problem across the land.
It's a problem that we need to quickly address, because too many people are dying.
Sometimes I don't even like watching the news, because I know that it's going to have me crying.
Because of all the gun violence that we're having, it's like people aren't afraid to break the law.
And the high profile killings that just happened in Connecticut, that was the last straw.
We can't let something like this happen again, or any of these acts of random shootings.
Hell when I was a kid, the only crime we did was start a riot or some looting.
But for some reasons people are filled with rage, it's like there's so much anger.
Now I'm a little afraid to even go outside, because of all the danger.
I'm even afraid to go sit out on my porch and enjoy the morning sun.
Because I'm afraid that I'm going get killed by a drive-by with a gun.
That's why we need to do something about this gun violence, because it's tearing this world apart.
I do believed that banning them assault weapons will be a good place to start.
And do better background checks, because you don't want to be sellings a gun to a known criminal.
And the amount of guns, that you can buy at one time, definitely should be to a minimal.
We need to have harsher penalty for gun violators, where they will really pay,
Because right now it's like, if you do get arrested, you're out the next day.
I know if we can take some of these guns off the streets, we will reduced a lot of these homicides.
And it's a known fact that firearms, is the most weapons used in most suicides.
So let's all come together to try to stop this gun violence, because it definitely gotten out of hand.
Because it's no longer a problem for lower income communities, it's a problem all across this land.

Continue recession as a way to dismantle social programs
Under conditions of full employment there is little or no incentive to privatize social security or voucherize Medicare. If you don't succeed in dismantling social safety nets in times of economic distress then you will have to wait on the next recession. This presents a problem that can only be solved by extending the current recession until you have achieved your goal, regardless of the human suffering it may cause. This goal can be accomplished by spreading fear about the budget deficit to give yourself a built-in excuse to vote against any jobs bill. Why waste a perfectly good disaster?
