The rule on Tres Chic Now is if we don't love it, we don't write about it—did I love drinking only juices for three days? No. Did I love the taste of all the juices? No. But I absolutely love the sense of accomplishment that I feel for completing this cleanse. Plus, I lost a couple of pounds and definitely feel detoxed. I also love the P.A.M. juice—pineapple, apple and mint—could drink that all day long.
You might also notice that this post is filed under "maintenance" (which also includes waxing, haircuts, blowouts, workouts and some other things we ladies do on a regular basis in the name of beauty and feeling good).
My 3-day Renovation cleanse was no easy feat. The truth is, I love In-N-Out Burger and, having been blessed with a fast metabolism, I've never really had to diet. But after having two babies and my 36th birthday I know that my once enviable metabolism is indeed slowing down, which means I have to work harder to stay fit if I'm going to keep enjoying french fries on a regular basis. I do eat pretty well (shop at Whole Foods, grass-fed meats, have avoided high-fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oils for years, organic whenever possible, etc.). Also purchased a Vitamix last year, which has been helpful in getting the entire fam to ingest more fruits and veggies. And I'm about to plant our first-ever veggie and herb garden in the back yard. But that doesn't mean I'm going to turn down some chips and salsa or a chocolate chip cookie when available. Oh and did I mention I have been addicted to potato chips for as long as I can remember?
Point is, I believe that moderation is key and I don't want to deprive myself or my family from some tasty indulgences every once in a while. I'll just have to double up on my workouts to make up for it and I'm fine with that. And when I'm ready, I'll do another cleanse to reset, refresh and renew… maybe even a 5-day program!
If you are new to cleansing, like I was, make sure you are prepared. Don't eat a steak dinner the night before. You should absolutely enlist the help of some friends to do it with you for extra support. (My cleanse was organized by my instructor at The Dailey Method and I pinged her more than once with questions and/or complaints). It also helps to have the BP Cleanse crew on twitter:

Loan guarantees don't come cheaply. In fact, when you add it all up, it can be darned expensive financing. Here, Lipper details some of the costs the entrepreneur would be expected to pay in such a transaction:
- Guarantee fee. Remember, in addition to depositing funds into the bank, the investor had to pay his or her bank a fee to get it to issue the letter of credit. "The way the investor would tend to think," says Lipper, "is `It's the entrepreneur's loan that is getting guaranteed, not mine,' therefore he or she should pay the fees."
- Investor fee. Next, Lipper says he typically collects a fee of 5 percent of the guaranteed amount for putting the deal together. For our hypothetical $1 million deal, that's another $50,000.
- Bank interest. For deals such as this, banks typically charge the prime rate plus 1 percent (known as a premium), says Lipper. "It's outrageous for them to charge a premium," he says, "since there is absolutely no risk to the bank whatsoever." Moreover, he says, to avoid any possibility of default, the bank issuing the letter of credit will probably stipulate that the interest on the loan be taken out of the proceeds upfront.
It's important to note that the effect of all these fees coming off the top of the loan ratchets up the interest rate the company pays for the loan. In our example, the guarantee fee is, say, $20,000, Lipper's 5 percent fee is another $50,000, and the bank's interest upfront of perhaps 8 percent is another $80,000, for a whopping total of $150,000.
Looked at differently, the entrepreneur is really paying $150,000 for the use of $850,000 ($1 million loan proceeds minus $150,000 fees and interest). The true rate of interest is then 17.6 percent.
But it doesn't stop there. The pièce de résistance comes in the form of a "carried interest" in the company paid to the investor. Lipper says the carried interest is either a percentage of the company's revenues going forward or a hunk of the company's equity, perhaps 3 percent to 5 percent.
This equity, by the way, can often be structured as warrants, which are options to purchase equity at a specified price for a specified period of time. "For the company, the advantage of warrants," says Lipper, "is that it doesn't surrender any equity immediately, and when the warrants are exercised, the company gets an additional infusion of capital."

text: In every award-ceremony commentary, I have to include some less-than-stellar reviews. This is really difficult for me because I don't like to scrutinize or act as if I am a supreme expert with the privilege of passing judgment, so I will keep my analysis as technical as possible. Sally Field, an actress whom I have adored for as long as I can remember and whose talent dwarfs that of most of the new girls on the big screen today, did not impress me as much with her dress selection. I just don't think this dress is attractive, and it really has nothing to do with Sally Field. I feel like it was a rushed piece, added into the collection just to make "another dress." The bodice looks slightly sloppy and uneven, while the gathering in the skirt leading toward the ruffle is coming undone because pure silk never holds pleats as well as a synthetic fiber would. The ruffles from the pleats to the floor also make little sense and have a very "school project" look. I hate to criticize this, but even the sleeve doesn't fit properly, and we can see the chiffon stretching over the muscle. The nude lining color may have been chosen for some purpose, but I can't imagine what, as a red lining would have made the dress more visually saturated, and we can see something going on under the skirt in the back, which doesn't look neat. The neckline is so plain, and there isn't even a necklace to frame her neck. Sally is such a beautiful woman, with a terrific figure, and is beyond graceful. She could have worn anything and looked like a classic beauty, so I don't know why she went with a body-hiding ruffle dress that seems to have come from another era and does absolutely no grace for her.

How to Stretch Shoes
You have recently bought a new pair of shoes which you found comfortable when you tried at the shoe store. As you try to wear them at home, you find that it is a bit tight for your feet and it hurts when you walk. Now, you do not want to return the shoes as you like them a lot.

Insert the water filled plastic bags into the tight shoes and put them inside the freezer. We all know that water expands on freezing. So, when the water in the plastic bags is frozen, the shoes will undergo expansion. Keep the shoes in this condition for a week or so. After one week, take them out, allow them to thaw for an hour and wear them. If casque beats mixr required, repeat the process.
How to Stretch Shoes Wider
If you find that your shoes are perfect lengthwise but you want some more width to make them slightly more comfortable, then you can achieve that by using a shoe stretching liquid.

WWR Article |
The recent failure of a Midwest securities firm has highlighted a fact that many community bankers may be confused or misinformed about: the protection afforded them for their own securities held by a broker dealer when the broker-dealer fails. The issue is the coverage provided by SIPC, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, a nonprofit corporation (not a government agency) formed under the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970. SIPC coverage extends to customers of brokerage firms, but a bank acting for itself rather than for its own customer or customers is excluded by statute from SIPC protection. While SIPC coverage does not guarantee market value or principle or protect against investment fraud, it does ensure that customers get their stocks or bonds back when a brokerage firm collapses. SIPC coverage limits are $500,000, including cash (not money market funds which are securities) up to $100,000. As a result of the statutory exclusion, banks do not have this assurance for their own assets. In the event of such a collapse, banks may find their own securities placed in a pool of assets used to satisfy claims of other covered accounts. The net result can be that the bank's brokerage account (and securities therein) may be illiquid for an extended period, and the bank may suffer an ultimate loss when liquidation of the broker-dealer is complete. MJK Clearing FailureThe recent failure of MJK Clearing, a subsidiary of Minneapolis-based Stockwalk Group, Inc. has left a number of community banks-whose brokers used MJK for clearing and safekeeping their customers' securities-holding the bag. When the firm failed, SIPC stepped in to oversee what is the largest liquidation case it has ever handled. The banks, which are not covered by SIPC, face losses. Initial estimates of the ultimate loss range from 1/2 of 1 percent to 3 percent, but could be higher or lower pending final liquidation. It will likely take two or three years to resolve all claims. Community banks affected by the MJK Clearing failure should be mindful of the January 14, 2002 claim filing date. Customer claim forms must be received by the court-appointed Trustee by that date, otherwise maximum recovery could be jeopardized. Claim forms and further information about the MJK Clearing case can be found at www.sipc.org and www.mjktrustee.com. Lessons LearnedSo long as bank-owned securities are ineligible for SIPC protection, bankers should be diligent and cautious when using safekeeping services. Bankers must realize that their broker dealer may be an introducing broker for yet another firm-the clearing broker-that actually holds the securities. Since it is the failure of the clearing broker that will trigger a SIPC action, the banker should be thoroughly familiar with the business activities, capital sufficiency, and procedures of the clearing broker. Does the clearing broker have procedures to protect the bank's interests to the maximum extent possible? Can the securities owned by the bank be hypothecated-used as collateral for borrowing-by the broker dealer? Does the broker provide a safekeeping receipt-again reinforcing the role of the broker as a safekeeping agent and differentiating the bank's securities from other customer securities that may be hypothecated and may be subject to SIPC coverage? Is the broker dealer holding the securities involved in other activities that could impair its capital and thus trigger a SIPC action? Absent SIPC coverage, the decision to place securities in the hands of another (which is hard to avoid in the electronic age) is almost like a credit decision-will the firm holding the securities be responsible and here when the customer wants their securities back. |

A nice little warm up line. Good value.
It's worth leading/seconding as opposed to top roping something so easy! If not then Burgess is even easier!
Good warm up, and should be a good first lead. Very nice position you end in for such a 'lowly' grade. |

text: Saudi Arabia: Straight Banking Hours 03 December 2006, JEDDAH/RIYADH: Saturday was not a usual day for some 50,000 employees of the estimated 1,200 branches of the 12 banks in Saudi Arabia. They started work at 9.30 in the morning, half an hour late from the usual timing. But they did not take their five-hour break. Rather they continued their work without any recess till 4.30 in the afternoon. Welcome to the new banking hours. In line with a Royal decree, banks all over the Kingdom switched to a straight shift to be in tandem with the stock trading hours. Up till now banks worked from 08:00-12:00 and 17:00-20:00 Saturday to Wednesday, and 08:00-12:00 on Thursday. While bank employees welcomed the shift, customers expressed mixed reaction. "We were not able to lead a normal social life. Almost all the day was spent at work. But now we have a plenty of time like any other private company employee," said Rasha Alharby, customer service representative of a bank in Jeddah. Hazem, an Arab National Bank employee in Riyadh, agreed. "Saudis are family oriented and the single shift will allow bank employees to spend more time with their family," he said. "Bank employees always preferred to work in the main branch even if it was far off from their home, because it followed one shift. But now employees are asking to be transferred to the branches near their homes," said Rami Al-Katheri, an NCB official in Jeddah. Syed A. Ziauddin, vice-president of Hollandi Bank in Riyadh, said the head offices of all 12 banks in the Kingdom were operating in one shift for the past seven years, so the single shift will encourage the young Saudis to join the banking sector. But many customers found the shift inconvenient. "I work in a private company and I finish work late in the evening. Now with this change I have no time to visit the bank," Alaa J. Al lail, a lubricant company emplyee, told The Saudi Gazette. But teachers and government employees feel the change is suitable for them and for the bank employees, because it decreases the bank rush hour. "Usually banks were crowded in the evening when offices close. But now there won't be long rush hours," said Nawaf Abdulaziz, a computer teacher in Tabuk. Eyad Al-Shaer, a Saudi sales manager of a company, said single shift is better than the earlier two shifts. "A number of young Saudis were discouraged to join banks because of two shifts. I am sure the single shift will encourage them to joining banks," he said. A committee formed by a Royal order, consisting of the Minister of Finance, SAMA governor and the president of the CMA, had recommended to the Council of Ministers to iron out official banking hours differences, proposing a 9:30 A.M.-4:30 P.M. straight shift. Meeting of GCC ministers of finance, held last July in Abu Dhabi, put forth a recommendation of narrowing banking and financial institutions' official work hours to ensure greater harmony and better control. The change in banking hours follows the recent change in the trading hours of the Saudi stock market. Effective October 28, 2006, trading hours changed from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday through Wednesday. According to Dr Ali Al-Tawati, an economist at King Abdul Aziz University, Jeddah, the change in the banking hours is good for customers who already got used to the recent change in the Saudi stock market trading hours. "Online banking allows customers to do financial transactions from their PCs at home via the Internet that is why there was no need for two shifts in the bank working hours," he said. In preparation of the Dec. 2 banking hour shift, all employees were trained to make sure that the work continues without hitches, said Muhammad Al Marry, an NCB public relations officer. ______________________________________ By Maha Sami Aboulola and Shahid Ali Khan © The Saudi Gazette 2006

Can wind cause the top leaves to curl? My plants have been in the ground for about three weeks now and the top leaves on some of them are starting to curl down and inward. I know there's a disease called curly top virus but I don't think it's in CA. I'm hoping it's just wind stress.
Janet |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wind usually causes burn..but wind's not an issue around here, so I'm not certain about the curly top part. You might want to check for aphids...look very closely and see if you see small bugs at the joint where stem meets leaf and on the underside of leaves. They suck juices from leaves (they prefer new ones) and sometimes cause new growth to appear stunted, curly, or distorted. Hope it's not a virus for you. |

EPA Patents
A patent is an exclusive grant or property right given by the government to the inventor. A patent prevents others from making, using, or selling the invention for a period of 20 years without a license to do so. The inventor or owner of the patent can grant rights of the invention to others.
In general, government-funded technology patent rights are assigned to the government. Under the Federal Technology Transfer Act (FTTA), the government provides a portion of the royalties of a licensed patent to the EPA inventor. Practically anything human-made, as well as the process for making it, can be patented, provided it is new, useful, and unobvious. Improvements to an existing patent may also be patented. If patents are licensed, both the inventors and the sponsoring laboratory are entitled to a percentage of any royalties.
The FTTA, enacted by Congress in 1986, builds upon previous legislation and improves access to federal laboratories by private industry, consortia, academia, trade associations, and state and local governments. It also specifically requires that government-employed inventors share in the royalties received from their inventions. The goal of this legislation is to more efficiently and effectively put federally funded technology to use in real-world applications. This can be realized through the cooperation of non-federal parties and federal laboratories on specific research and development projects, as well as by licensing out federally-developed and patented inventions.
The benefits of moving federally-developed technologies into the marketplace are numerous. The public benefits by receiving improved products and obtaining a better return on their investment to government research programs. External parties benefit through the ability to leverage their research dollars and license new technologies for commercialization. The EPA benefits for many of the same reasons. EPA is able to better advance environmental efforts by getting new technologies into the marketplace quickly, can better leverage research and development dollars, and has the opportunity to collaborate with peers outside the Agency.
For more information about patents and licensing of inventions, please visit the EPA technology transfer web site. The EPA FTTA program is managed by the Office of Science Policy, within EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD).

Fuel Tank Ventilation System (6,681,789)
One source of air pollution is "evaporative emissions" from vehicle fuel tanks. These emissions occur each day for all vehicles with fuel in the tank, even when stationary. Charles Moulis and Leon Jones of EPA's National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory (NVFEL) in Ann Arbor developed a fuel tank ventilation system that comprises a fuel tank and a bladder within the fuel tank that vents to the atmosphere and inflates and deflates with a variable volume of air. The exchange of air between the atmosphere and the bladder substantially maintains the vapor space within the fuel tank at atmospheric pressure and only air from the bladder is vented from the fuel tank because the air within the bladder is isolated from the fuel vapor. The system substantially prevents evaporative emissions from vehicle fuel tanks.
Variable Compression Ratio Engine (6,752,105)
Current automotive powertrain designs employ an internal combustion engine (ICE). Although the demands of normal driving call for a wide range of power demands and speeds, the best energy conversion efficiency of an ICE is experienced over only a relatively narrow range of loads and speeds. Charles Gray of NVFEL developed an improved system for generating a variable compression ratio within an ICE. The engine may operate at more than one distinct compression ratio, selectable during engine operation. As a result, an engine using this technology operates near its most efficient operating range during the majority of driving, while providing intermittent high power capability in a way that does not lead to undesirable side effects.
Treating Liquids Containing Organic Compounds (6,755,975)
Liquids containing organic compounds and water occur throughout industry, making the water unfit for reuse or discharge. Leland Vane and Frank Alvarez of EPA's National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL) in Cincinnati, along with several scientists from Membrane Technology and Research, Inc., developed a process for separating a liquid containing an organic compound and water, using a combination of pervaporation and reflux condensation that can treat streams containing one or more dissolved organic compounds to produce a product stream containing as much as 90 wt % or more organic compound. This can be achieved even when the organic compound is present at relatively low concentrations in the feed. The process can also be used to dehydrate organic liquids in which water is dissolved, to yield an organic product containing as little as 1 wt % water or less, and a relatively clean water stream.
Selective Oxidation of Organic Chemicals (6,777,374)
The chemical manufacturing industry generates more than 1.5 billion tons of hazardous waste and 9 billion tons of non-hazardous waste annually. Cleaner products methods can be achieved by adopting "green synthetic" methods. Endalkachew Sahle-Demessie, Michael Gonzalez and Subhas Sikdar of NRMRL, along with scientists from the University of Cincinnati, developed a process for partial oxidation of organic compounds in the gas phase to produce valuable compounds. This results in a clean production technology that minimizes waste by selectively producing partial oxygenates and producing less by-products and pollutants than conventional oxidation reactions.
Method of Treating Fuel Exhaust (6,779,339)
New emission reduction standards for lean burn heavy-duty diesel engines are to be implemented starting in model year 2007. The new standards will require catalysts and systems that can suppress the emission of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) from these engines into the atmosphere. Christopher Laroo, Charles Schenk, Joseph McDonald, Byron Bunker, Brian Olson, Robert Moss, Daniel Stokes, and Paul Way of NVFEL developed a method and apparatus for desulfating NOx adsorber catalysts in a multi exhaust path flow system utilizing in-exhaust fuel injection and exhaust flow bypass. This method minimizes temperature extremes on the surface of the NOx adsorber, while achieving the precise temperatures required for desulfation. Thus, overall thermal degradation of the adsorber catalyst due to high temperatures is kept to a minimum or ultimately eliminated.
High Pressure Fuel System for Common Rail Application (6,786,205)
Currently, the automotive industry does not have a reliable high pressure fuel system which is compatible with alcohol fuels. In conventional hydraulically intensified fuel injectors, low pressure fuel enters the injector and is intensified in pressure by a hydraulic piston. The injector and intensifier are contained in a single unit, which requires separate hydraulic and fuel supplies. Mark Stuhldreher and Andrew Moskalik of NVFEL developed a system that separates the intensifier from the injector and provides a structure having fewer parts to wear and fewer hydraulic lines to potentially leak. The system has at least two intensifier units which use hydraulic fluid to pressurize fuel supplied to a common rail. These intensifiers alternately supply high pressure fuel to the common rail and refill with low pressure fuel.
Cylinder Coolant Control System (6,810,838)
Conventional systems for cooling engine cylinder heads provide coolant patterns which go from one end of the cylinder head and block to the other. This approach is successful in that engines generally do not overheat, but temperatures may vary between cylinders in a way that some cylinders are cooled just barely enough, while other cylinders are overcooled. This can affect the distribution of fuel and air into the cylinders and the initiation of combustion, such that not all of the cylinders attain optimum performance due to cylinder-to-cylinder cooling differences. Karl Hellman of NVFEL developed a cooling system for an engine including a cylinder block having multiple cylinders covered and closed by a cylinder head. The coolant system includes an inlet rail and an outlet rail located on opposing sides of the cylinder head and a pump for feeding coolant flow through a discharge line into the inlet rail. A control valve and an associated temperature sensor are provided within each of the coolant flow passages and a controller individually controls each of the control valves in accordance with the signal received from its associated temperature sensor.
Exhaust Aftertreatment System (6,820,417)
The control of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from internal combustion engines and particulate matter (PM) emissions from compression (diesel) combustion engines is an environmental problem. Gasoline engine vehicles use three-way catalysts to control such emissions, because their exhaust gases lack oxygen. But so-called "lean-burn" gas engines and diesel engines have enough oxygen in their exhausts that conventional catalytic systems are not effective. Charles Schenk of NVFEL, along with co-inventors from Analytical Engineering Inc., developed a diesel engine exhaust aftertreatment system that reduces NOx and PM. The aftertreatment system may include one or more exhaust flow paths, or "legs", and each leg of the exhaust system may contain any combination of an injector, NOx adsorber element(s), with an upstream or downstream diesel oxidation catalyst, and optional upstream or downstream particulate trap or other substrate.
Biomass Concentrator Reactor (6,821,425)
Water quality is of increasing importance, as many of the impurities in water have been identified to have deleterious effect in the environment or for plant or animal life. Both water from streams, rivers, etc. and wastewater require treatment to reduce the pollutants in the water to acceptable levels. Wastewater can be purified by a variety of methods, including mechanical purification by sedimentation or filtration (usually surface waters for drinking water treatment), and chemical purification by, for example, the addition of ozone or chlorine (not practical as stand-alone for wastewater treatment). Biological wastewater treatment is by far the most widely used technology for treating municipal and industrial wastewater in the U.S., and it is gaining popularity for the treatment of drinking water. Albert Venosa of NRMRL and Makram Suidan of the University of Cincinnati, developed a gravity-flow biomass concentrator reactor which effectively retains and concentrates suspended solids from the water treated. The reactor can be used under either aerobic or anaerobic conditions.
Electronic Caliper (6,829,839)
A standard test for immune sensitivity is to inject a tiny amount of test material into the ear of a mouse. If, after a time, the ear becomes edematous, the test is considered positive. A similar test is done on rat foot-pads. The normal way to measure this edema has been to use a precision caliper with a dial face graduated in 100ths of a millimeter. This device was made for measuring hard materials such as metal, plastic, paper, etc., and works very well for such purposes. However, it applies a significant force, squeezing whatever it measures, which is not ideal for soft biological tissues because the squeezing action reduces the thickness and diminishes the resulting measurement. Paul Killough of EPA National Health and Environmental Effects Laboratory (NHEERL) in Research Triangle Park, NC invented a device that eliminates most of the internal mechanical parts of the commonly used gauge and substitutes an electronic distance measuring device, thereby avoiding most of the friction believed to cause the problems seen in that gauge.

Okarche High School's girls basketball team is one win away from getting another crack at the elusive gold ball which slipped the Warriors' grasp a year ago with a runner-up finish.
Cherie Myers' team, ranked No.1 in Class A for over two months, defeated Waukomis 72-31 to win the Area I, Region C Championship.
The Warriors, now 25-2 on the year, face No.7 Cheyenne-Reydon Friday at 6:30 p.m. inside the Chisholm Trail Expo Center in Enid, with the winner advancing to state.
Okarche held Waukomis to single-digit scoring in three of the four periods, while its offense outscored the Chiefs in all four frames. The Warriors led 17-9 after one, 41-13 at the break and 64-27 after three periods.
Madison Lee logged a double-double with 24 points, 10 in the first period, while grabbing 12 rebounds and a steal. Morgan Vogt followed with 18 points, five boards and a steal, while Kenadey Grellner had 12 points, eight caroms and a pick.
Madi Grellner led those in single digits with eight points and four caroms. Rae Grellner was close behind with seven points, five boards and two steals. Randi Hufnagel chipped in three points and a rebound.
Okarche 69, Cashion 26
The Warriors defeated Cashion for a third time this season with a defense that limited CHS to single-digit scoring in three periods.
Okarche led 20-7 after one period, 36-15 at halftime and 55-25 going into the fourth period.
Lee logged her first double-double of the regional with 26 points, 11 rebounds and a steal. Kenadey Grellner added 15 points and eight boards, followed by Vogt's 12 points, four rebounds and a steal.
Madi Grellner chipped in six points and three caroms, while Kaelan Jeffrey had four points and a rebound. Rae Grellner added five boards and two steals, while Skylar Spomer pulled down two rebounds.
Oshman hits clutch free throw for OHS boys
Bennett Oshman, fouled on a defensive rebound, hit a free throw with seven-tenths of a second left as the ninth-ranked Okarche High School boys basketball team defeated No.14 Garber 46-44 to win the Class A, Area I, Region C Championship.
The win lifted the Warriors to 18-9 on the season and one win away from a trip to the state tourney. Okarche will play No.4 Cheyenne-Reydon Friday at 8 p.m. at the Chisholm Trail Expo Center in Enid in the Area I Championship game.
Oshman missed the second free throw attempt on purpose to seal the two-point win. Garber took its first lead of the game with 40 seconds to play, 44-43, but Okarche responded with a Sam Grellner basket against a zone defense with 20 seconds to play to retake the lead.
Garber had a chance to regain the lead with two free throws with 1.7 seconds left, but missed both attempts – the second leading to Oshman's clutch carom.
Okarche ended the game shooting 13-of-42 from the field for 31 percent, while hitting 4-of-23 from the 3-point arc for 17 percent. The Warriors out-rebounded Garber, 31-20, including a 19-16 edge on the defensive end.
Grellner came close to a triple-double with 12 points, 15 rebounds, seven assists and a steal. John Schaefer was close behind with 11 points, eight boards and two steals.
Wyatt Carter added eight points and a rebound, followed by Shay Pratt's five points and four each from Ben Annuschat and Hunter Frisby. Oshman ended the game with two points, four rebounds and a pair of assists.
Okarche 59, Cashion 47
The Warriors third win of the year over Cashion was paced by a defensive effort which allowed only three offensive rebounds.
Okarche was 15-of-39 shooting for 39 percent, but was nipped in rebounds (25-23), assists (15-13) and turnovers (18-12). The Warriors held a 6-4 edge in steals.
Oshman led OHS in scoring with 15 points, three boards and a steal. Schaefer added 12 points, six boards and a steal. Grellner closed with nine points, six assists and five rebounds.
Annuschat chipped in eight points and two rebounds, while Carter had seven points, five caroms, four assists and two steals. Frisby closed with five points and Kyle Rother with three.

Just because finding a solution to the problem of undocumented ag workers and a broken U.S. immigration policy makes sense to nearly everyone doesn't make it certain our politicians will act on it.
In fact, it seems there has been a perpetual sense of crisis about labor for more than a decade now, with growers repeatedly arguing on Capitol Hill for a way to hire legal workers and pleading for meaningful reform to the H-2A agricultural guest-worker program.
Meanwhile, federal and state lawmakers — particularly Republicans — have been grandstanding over the issue, occasionally tightening immigration laws but giving no clear way ahead to legalize the existing farm labor work force or to make the H-2A program easier to use.
But there are growing hopes Congress will consider and pass meaningful immigration reform.
Republicans seem open to moving immigration reform as a way of mending fences with the growing Latino electorate that continues to ignore the GOP in national elections.
Sensing an opening, ag lobbyists want a guest-worker program as a part of any legislative package and want the new program to expand the definition of agriculture to include packinghouses and processors, which are excluded under the H-2A program.
While maintaining the requirement for a initial job offer before foreign workers come to the U.S., the desired solution also would remove mandatory transportation and housing provisions, remove the guaranteed work period and allow workers to follow jobs from farm to farm.
These specifics will be debated in 2013, but the important truth seems to be that Congress will take up immigration reform with an intent to accomplish it.

"The Flying Taco" team speeds down Yesler Way during the Red Bull Soapbox Race in Seattle's Pioneer Square neighborhood on Aug. 24, 2014. Thirty-six teams participated in this year's downhill derby. Each team put on a small skit at the beginning of the run in their thematic costumes. "Bertha," the tunnel-machine machine, Macklemore, a runaway bride, and giant Sriracha hot sauce bottle all made appearances during the afternoon event.

Attention, sports fans: If you're thinking about going to Athens for the 2004 Summer Olympics, you might want to take along a tent. In March 2002, the Greek government announced that no more hotels will be built before the games—in spite of the fact that additional rooms are needed for the thousands of spectators anticipated (about 1 million people visited Salt Lake City for the 2002 Winter Games).
Though under pressure from the International Olympic Committee to build, Athens foresees problems with post-Olympics overcapacity (the push for new hotels continues). According to Greek National Tourist Organization director George Tambakis, "We have enough deluxe hotels downtown—it's an old city, and the infrastructure can't support much more than renovating or expanding existing hotels." Alternatives such as nearby resorts, homestays, and cruise ships are being studied. Athletes will stay in the Olympic village in Attica, near the Olympic Stadium outside Athens. Is Tambakis worried about spectators being too far from the events?"Not really. The distance isn't as great as it is in the United States—Greece is a small country."
The housing shortage is not the IOC's only logistical headache: construction of sporting venues and important roadwork have suffered setbacks, sometimes because residents have filed injunctions against building in their neighborhoods. "We really have to keep pressure on Athens," said Athens IOC coordinator Denis Oswald. "They are more delayed and they still have more problems to resolve than Sydney had at this stage." Without some fast action, that famous Greek hospitality might leave some spectators without a roof over their heads.

Ha! Hey, Dax! Few Forums are as active as Conifers, unfortunately. If you want to see something really slow....try posting over in Moss, Ferns, & Cryptograms.... Anyhow, I like your growing box. I have a first year Japanese maple seedling that I need to move to a larger container. I'll put something similar together. Many folks will advise you to plant the tree in-ground, then dig it up later when the trunk has fattened. I have Weeping willows, however, that I don't want to release in the yard....so I'm progressively sizing them up in containers. With enough room for the roots to grow, the pot shouldn't cramp the tree's growth too much. Thanks for the images. I love images. Josh |

It looks like it has some good branching potential once it fills out a bit. And I agree with greenman- you'll have better results with it in the ground for the first few years. |

Ballin: Man, shout out to Marcin Gortat. There are probably better lines from last night — Kevin Love, Kim Jong-Ilyasova, Al Jefferson and cetera — but Mar-nose is doing his thing out there in Phoenix and no one even cares so we need to say wassup. 28 points, 11 rebounds, three blocks and two steals in the loss, which isn't the best part but this is still really good. Word to Marcin Gortat.
Not so much: The Lakers just lost back-to-back games to the Pistons and Wizards, joining the Bobcats as the only other team in the league in that horrible, horrible club. Whoops.
Spin cycle: LeBron James 360 dunk mode engaged.
"This is better than this year's dunk contest." — someone on the internet, I'm sure
Conspiracy Theory starring Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts: The Raptors are now 24-14 against the spread. DO YOU THINK THEY'RE IN ON IT?
Head-scratcher: The Thunder beat the Suns 115-104, but had only five players score. One of those dudes was Kendrick Perkins, who had all of six points, which means four Thunderers (Westbrook, Durant, Ibaka, Harden) combined to score 109 pointsies, which still would have beat the Suns. Huh?
Speaking of: Here's James Harden throwing down on Silly Sebastian Telfair Shannon Brown.

None more Booz: Can't seem to find it online, but Carlos Boozer stripping Drew Gooden, yelling about it, then having the ball bounce out to Gooden, who nails a wide-open three was a pretty Carlos Boozer play. Also a pretty JaVale McGee play, now that I think about it.

Please leave your best Tony Allen blues name in the comments. I submit Ol' Grindy for your consideration.
Dr. Emmet Cole: Gerald Wallace on the Trail Blazers' struggles: "We're searching. I just don't know what we're searching for." Sounds just like "The River." (P.S. Don't watch "The River.")
New worst GM: And here's Amar'e Stoudemire on the difference between the Knicks and the Spurs: "(The Spurs) don't have nearly enough talent to compete with us. Our personnel, our talent is off the charts." Hey, let's not let Amar'e Stoudemire make any personnel decisions ever.
Other things: Don't worry, we'll talk about all the game-winners in a minute … Jerry Stackhouse dunking in 2012, for at least the second time … There's a new Stephen Jackson rap video out, obviously … Leon Powe just signed with a team in Puerto Rico, which is weird. Always liked that guy … Everything seems to be fine with Stan Van Gundy's heart. Yay.

Growth depends on desire. You cannot grow without desiring it and then acting on that desire.
Microsoft Support in Boise
All of our IT engineers will carry at least one Microsoft Certification with the Microsoft Certified Information Technology Professional (MCITP)
Microsoft Office
Microsoft Office remains the most popular office product in the world, used by millions. The products Word, Excel and Outlook are all household names, but there is more in Microsoft Office than meets the eye and experienced users may be familiar with products such as the Desktop Publishing product "Publisher", the document collaboration software "Sharepoint Workspace", Form Design Software "Infopath" and Microsoft's desktop communication solution – "Lync". Specialist products such as Project Management Software – "Project" and Technical Diagramming Software "Visio" are also available.
Do you need help in any of these? Call us today and let us help you make the best decision possible.
Knowing how to get the most out of Microsoft office can be a challenge.
- Which licensing models might be best for you?
- Which suite do you need?
- Would a cloud solution benefit your business?
- Do my staff need training?
- Should I upgrade to the latest version?
Microsoft Office is nothing without the Windows operating system. Our team has been working with Windows since version 3.1 back in the early 90s. The latest incantation is Microsoft Windows 8, which includes a massive reworking to include enhanced functionality for the latest trend in tablet computing. Many of our clients are still running Windows XP, one of the fastest and most reliable systems to come out of Microsoft for years. Put off by the problems in Microsoft Vista they have delayed upgrading to Windows 7, but now there seems to be a choice to make …. Windows 7 or Windows 8? The answer depends on your business requirements.
Windows also appears on server systems. Windows 2008 is probably the most stable, feature rich and scalable software product to ever be invented. There is in our opinion no better system to base your critical business systems on, and all those businesses that are still running Windows 2003 really need to be considering updating.
Server Platforms
Of course where Microsoft really excels is with the software running on the servers in the dark recesses of the communications room. These software products are the lifeblood of modern businesses. There are many products in this category, but some of the most common are used by nearly every business.
Microsoft Exchange Server is the world number one email, messaging and collaboration platform. The latest version, Exchange 2010, scales from powering a small business to the world's largest corporations. Exchange is the product that brings Outlook alive. If you want to use all the great features of Outlook you need to have Exchange.
Microsoft SQL ranks alongside Oracle as one of the best database platforms in the world, and forms the back end to many of the most common database applications from Sage to CRM.
Internet Information Server, powers millions of the world's leading websites (including this one)
Microsoft Lync is one of our favorites – a fantastic communication and collaboration platform, with an exhaustive list of features from making VoIP phone calls to Desktop and document sharing.
Sharepoint is Microsoft's web based document sharing and collaboration system. Its complexity, and demands on user training can often lead to it being a little misunderstood, but for some businesses it is worth its weight in gold.
Microsoft in the Cloud
Cloud services essentially offer the benefits of renting the software and the servers it needs to run on rather than buying them. The software is accessible from any Internet
connected PC enabling businesses to have a distributed and dynamic work force. The whole cloud concept is causing a real buzz at the moment , but it remains to be seen if this is something that will stand the test of time. For some businesses there is no doubt that switching to the cloud has distinct business advantages, whilst for others it would remain a strict no-no. Finance businesses for example often need to have special data retention requirements, or data encryption requirements, and many businesses may have specialized databases with enhanced security.
Microsoft has recently launched Office 365, a method of running MS Office in the cloud. It has its uses, but does not offer a great deal of flexibility. For a fully flexible solution you might consider Serviced Cloud, a product which can include all the products mentioned in this article and more. Although Cloud computing may not be the answer for every business, it should at least be considered by every business, and if you are looking for help in weighing up the options, you've come to the right place.
Microsoft Support
Installation and roll-out of Microsoft Solutions involve not just paper certifications, but real world experience. Elevate PC's engineers have been implementing Microsoft solutions for years and have hundreds of satisfied clients.
