Values-Based Food Supply Chain Case Study: Shepherd's Grain
In the mid 1980s, a pair of wheat producers, Karl Kupers and Fred Fleming, became convinced that the conventional dryland wheat farming they were practicing was not sustainable in the Palouse region of eastern Washington. moreCover Crops Case Studies: Gary Sommers Farm
This case study shares the experience of one Wisconsin farmer who has been growing cover crops on his cash grain farm for twenty years. He presents his philosophy of cover crop use, explains what cover crop management practices have and have not worked on his farm, and describes what benefits he sees from growing cover crops. moreDo farming practices affect corn and soybean quality traits? (Research Brief #70)
Printer-friendly version (PDF) Grain farmers can help the environment by expanding their corn-soybean rotations to include additional crops. Research has shown that expanded rotations can reduce the need for pesticide and herbicide applications by breaking the life cycles of insects, weeds and diseases specific to corn and soybeans. In addition, grain yields often increase in […] moreDiversity pays off on cash grain farms (Research Brief #44)
Cash grain farmers can improve their bottom line by diversifying crops and reducing chemical inputs, according to a cropping systems trial now in its eighth year of economic analysis. Diversified grain systems at two sites have shown better financial returns than a high-input continuous corn system every year since 1992. These are the results from […] moreCropping systems trial provides unique analysis (Research Brief #43)
Can environmentally beneficial crop rotations also improve farm profitability? A long-term study underway in southern Wisconsin aims to find out. It blends systems research with strong farmer guidance to measure profitability, productivity, and environmental impacts of six cropping systems. The Wisconsin Integrated Cropping Systems Trial (WICST) compares three cash grain cropping systems and three forage […] morePesticide options in field crops: helping farmers with FQPA (Research Brief #42)
Recent federal legislation will reduce the number and amounts of pesticides available to farmers. But producers can start planning now for these changes by reducing their reliance on pesticides with the greatest potential for harm to human health and the environment. Congress unanimously passed the 1996 Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) to improve food safety. […] moreLong-term study evaluates impacts of six Wisonsin cropping systems (Research Brief #11)
Wisconsin cash grain and dairy livestock cropping systems have gone on trial. The goal is to identify and evaluate trade-offs of various production strategies. An interdisciplinary team of UW-Madison and Michael Fields Agricultural Institute (MFAI) researchers, farmers, and two county extension agents recently completed the third year of the Wisconsin Integrated Cropping Systems Trial (WICST).

Small Business Marketing: "10 Things You Can Learn From The Apple Store"
From Guy Kawasaki's blog: How To Change The World My note: There is much in this article that can inspire your small business marketing approach. 'Stop selling stuff' is all about selling the benefit, or the emotion not the product. To create your small business marketing strategy, you need to understand what you are 'selling'. Steve Jobs didn't sell devices that play music, computers or phones- he sold a tactile, beautiful experience. Entrepreneurs, small business owners and professionals can learn a lot from Steve Jobs and this article is a great start. In the decade since Steve Jobs and former head of retail, Ron Johnson, decided to reimagine the retail experience, the Apple Store not only reimagined and reinvented retail, it blew up the model entirely and started from scratch. In his research for The Apple Experience, Carmine discovered ten things that the Apple Store can teach any business in any industry to be more successful:

Email Marketing is Dead. Long Live…………….Email Marketing?
Email's About to Die, Argues Facebook Co-FounderSo says Dustin Moskovitz, a Facebook co-founder. He claims that the world has reached "peak email," that the decades-old medium has entered its final, fatal decline. CopyBlogger seems to agree, writing what at first seemed to be a eulogy for email marketing. "Email marketing seems to have died, striking many as "old-fashioned." More fashionable venues like social media and mobile marketing get all the attention these days, especially for millennials. Yet In the NYT's articles, "For Email Newsletters, a Death Greatly Exaggerated", the author makes the case that email marketing is not dead, that it is actually on the rise. So is email marketing dead, on life support or is reports of its early demise another marketing myth? |

Gary Angel is president and CTO of Semphonic, a consultancy that helps companies improve web analytics implementations. Together with TagMan CEO Paul Cook, he'll present a webinar on Thursday, Sept. 29 entitled Accelerate Your Website, Accelerate Your Sales.
We caught up with Gary to learn more about what he'll be discussing, and who should sign up to participate. This is the first of a two-part interview.
Who's the target audience for this webinar?
That's a really good question. It's not always one individual person who's responsible for page performance. Marketing folks in general are not responsible for the page load times on the site, but they need to be deeply concerned with it. They're the critical influencing constituency who need to let the IT side of the house know what they need from a page load perspective. That's one audience. Those aren't the people who are charged with making those page load times happen. They're not on the design side, they're not on the IT side, or the network side. They're the people who have a real stake in what happens with the website and whether page performance is going to impact their bottom line, so that's one natural audience.
There are deep technological issues involved in this issue to and it's critical for that audience to understand how technology can impact page load times and also how important page load time is to what they're trying to accomplish.
A second audience I see with tag management issues is increasingly as we look at enterprises evaluating tag management systems what we've found out is it's a little bit different from people who have gone out and looked at web analytics tags. With web analytics tags, generally performance doesn't seem to be that big a deal. When people are evaluating a tag management system, the IT folks who are heavily responsible for network performance and overall performance of the system are heavily involved in those decisions, so naturally this webinar is intended for those folks, too, to give them a really good sense of what a tag management system can accomplish and what they should think about and look for in terms of technologies that can really drive performance of the page. They're the people who have to make the technical decision about what will help accomplish those goals.
Really, the webinar is intended for both those audiences: people on the IT side of the house who are thinking about tag management from a technology and a network perspective and really need to understand will it improve page load performance, what can I expect from it, what are the risks and issues? But also for the marketing guys so they understand what the potential benefits are so they can be influencers in that decision.
How much awareness is out there of page load time being potential problem?
I think there's been a pretty substantial increase in awareness around that. A couple of years back people had gotten a little sloppy about monitoring their page load times. Pages were getting heavier and heavier. But a couple of factors have focused people on the degree to which this is an important problem. A number of studies were released that really suggested slow-loading sites had a significant impact on the conversion rates and satisfaction rates of sites. That got a lot of attention. In general we went through a cycle of web page getting heavier and heavier and heavier, partially because they could. So many people moved to broadband, and broadband rates have been increasing. It's been a lot easier to load up technology and fancy elements on pages, and an inevitable tendency to do that.
At some point you do hit saturation levels. Maybe we did go through a cycle of a lot of people had done that then said, "Wait a minute. My page looks great and is full of fancy stuff, but every time I load it, it takes a heck of a long time."
There quite a bit of awareness, actually, that it's a real problem.
It also tends to be one of those problems that can fly under the radar. There's vivid and immediate benefits to fancy design. People see that and experience that. A lot of the time, the people who are evaluating the website are on really fast internal websites, so they're not aware of what everyone else is doing. It's a problem people are aware of, but it's still a problem that slips into the background just because the things that challenge it and cause the problem are much more immediate, visual and visceral than problems in performance loading, which are often hidden from the people who have to make decisions about those things.
The interview with Gary will continue next week. Meanwhile, please register to attend the Sept. 29 webinar.

David Smith had witnessed a murder. He told police how his sister in law, Myra Hindley, had invited him in the night before to watch while her boyfriend, Ian Brady, was openly murdering a man in the living room. After the murder the couple laughed about the look on the victim's face, and chit-chatted over tea with Smith about other murders they had committed.
Attentive pediatric nurse Allitt murdered four and maimed another nine babies in her care before she was stopped. Sentenced to life 13 times, but diagnosed with the controversial Munchausen by Proxy syndrome, Allitt was placed in a cushy mental institution for treatment, rather than a prison for punishment.
When Saudi prince Al Saud bin Abdulaziz bin Nasir al Saud's male companion was found dead in their posh London hotel suite, Al Saud claimed his friend's death was an accident. Evidence instead pointed to a Master-Slave affair characterized by extreme violence.
An man in England alerted authorities recently about a single frog that was just sitting, waiting for him, at the bottom of the stairs to his house. He insisted that the frog was "harassing" him and wanted professional help removing it.
Of Henry VIII's famous six wives, there is no doubt who possesses the worst reputation: fifth wife Katherine Howard. Anne Boleyn may be seen as the "Temptress" but is known as innocent of the adultery and incest charges trumped up to separate Henry from Anne and Anne's head from the rest of her. As author [...]
A guy who partied too hardy and walked home found this note on Herfordshire police stationery in his home the next day. It begins "We found you staggering in the road," and is mysteriously signed, "Love from Cagney and Lacey." He probably had no memory of the courtesy ride home he got from police.
Britain's worst serial killer, he was born on January 14, 1946, and found hanged in his cell on January 13, 2004. He was adored by his many elderly patients, while he in return had only contempt for them and couldn't seem to kill them fast enough. It is believed that he murdered more than 250 of them.
English couple Kerry Leech and Mathew Heckler were out enjoying the day when they started getting texts that their house had exploded. According the firefighters, the couple's youngest pet, Zeus, a six-month-old whippet cross, caused the explosion. Since they didn't catch him in the act, it's fair to say they will have to keep an eye on him.
Back in August police in Chester, England, arrested Neal Marshall, 49, after a truck driver reported him driving his Ford Escort naked down the M56 while masturbating. His lawyer says he was texting and got "carried away."
The mother who beat her baby to within an inch of his life and took a selfie with him, has been found guilty of murder.

Sep 9th 2010 12:14AM Hello,
I have a question about raid locks. Yesterday I was running TOC 10 and unfortunately three guys left right after the first encounter, what was weird since the raid was able to kill the beasts of northrend without any problems, anyway, today I found a new group and they were locked at the Faction Champions and I couldn't enter the instance.
I thought that since I was locked to a less progressed instance I'd be able to enter the new, more progressed one.
I apologized to the group and left it thinking what's the reason for this restriction.
So, is there a reason for it? It's not like I could farm the same bosses over and over again, I'd be the only one losing changing a 2nd boss lock for a 3rd boss lock...

9 Marketing Concepts | WAYS TO RISE SELLING
There are three important Marketing Strategies widely known classical firm's philosophies in the processOffset Printing Works Today!. Read more ... » of seizing some percentage of the market share namely product-oriented, market-oriented, and customer-oriented philosophy.
Product-oriented philosophy is solely aimed to design and produce a product with little or no market research background in the hope that customers will find it attractive.
Market-oriented philosophy, in contrast with product-oriented philosophy, is aimed to produce goods which have been researched and designed to appeal to customers in the market. It is a businessMindset of Building a Business. Read more ... » orientation or philosophy that holds that organizational success is dependent upon the efficient identification of the needs and wants of target markets and the effective satisfaction of them.
Customer-oriented philosophy states that a firm's goal should be to identify and profitably satisfy customer needs. This philosophy brought market-oriented philosophy a bit further in sense that it no longer considers customers as the market but customers as individuals thus, if possible, the product is tailor-made like a coat that fits only to the wearer it is produced for.
In Marketing Warfare Al Ries and Jack Trout argue that marketing is war and that the marketing concept's customer-oriented philosophy is inadequate. Rather, firms would do better by becoming competitor-oriented. If the key to success were to introduce products closest to those wanted by customers, then the market leaderNewspaper Web Offset Machine | WEB LEADER. Read more ... » simply would be the firm that performed the best market research. Clearly, much more is required!
To illustrate their point, Ries and Trout compare marketing to a football game. If a team simply identifies the goal line and moves the ball towards it without regard to the competing team, they most likely will be blocked in their effort. To win the game, the team must focus its efforts on outwitting, outflanking, or over-powering the other side. This is the case in football, war, and marketing, according to Marketing Warfare. Because of the importance of the competition faced by the firm, a good marketing planBisnis Kemasan Plastik INDONESIA. Read more ... » should include an extensive section on competitors.
There are 9 Marketing concepts that all good marketing warlords should be well aware of:
1. Instead of competing with customer's high expectations, which ultimately result in a firm to lower the price, cut off the revenue margin, and increase the cost in line with a certain quality expected towards a product, a marketing warlord should compete with the competitor's product. Match and best the competitor's product is better than live up to customers' infinite expectations.
2. It is not the product alone that decides the outcome of the competition in the market but, most importantly, the correct strategy at the right time, the right place, and the right competitor! Remember that a knife in the hand of a pro will turn deadlier than a gun in the hand of an amateur.
3. Do not be the Marketing Warlord for every product and everyone. Select one of the competitor's product and the battleground you wish to win your competition. It allows the Marketing Warlord to focus his efforts and resources.
4. Your battleground takes place not in the store or on the street but in the mind of the customers. Physical evidence, as included in the classical 7'Ps Marketing mix, turns out to be not that essential anymore… people expectations towards a certain product will at some point reach the mean thus marketing warlords should be able to use that point to induce certain hopes and promises beyond the benefits all people would expect towards the product.
5. Avoid complicated organizational lines! The war should be monitored and supervised by the Marketing Warlord himself therefore he must go down the street sometime to see the implementation of the marketing strategyDifferences of Marketing Strategy and MARKETING PLAN. Read more ... » and correct the miscarried actions when possible.
6. There is no sword that cannot be broken as there is no shield that cannot be penetrated. Once competitor becomes the market leader there is a tendency that they will be the firm for everyone hence creating more product lines to best accommodate everyone's needs in the market. Once they do that, they will most likely divide their attention to each product line manufactured. It is a good time for Marketing Warlord to select one product from the competitors to compete and beat it!
7. Plan can be made and executed accordingly as long as the market variables stay unchanged or with minimum deviations here and there. But in reality, all market variables constantly change and sometime they are so sudden. Marketing warlords should know that a plan needs some changes, a correct marketing strategy needs to be formulated, and he also needs to be flexible.
8. Be humble and down to earth! Never claim your firm or product for something. Instead, create certain clues in the mind of your customers and let them entitle you with the best title you deserve.
9. If competition is unlikely to be won, a Marketing Warlord should know when and how toScreen Printing Machine ALL IN ONE. Read more ... » exit the battleground. Withdrawing is not the same as losing the battle. It is a matter of correct strategy as will be explained later.

The Shoes That Won Last Night: Cincinnati Picks Up First Win of the Season, Cliff Lee Excels From Plate and Mound
Week 2 of the NFL regular season is officially in the books. In last night's action, the Cincinnati Bengals hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers from Paul Brown Stadium. As the Steelers dropped to 0-2, Cincinatti picked up their first win of the season with a 20-10 victory. Bengals QB Andy Dalton helped to keep the offense flowing, but it was running back Giovani Bernard who led the team with two TDs, one rushing and one receiving.
From the baseball diamond, Philadelphia pitcher Cliff Lee excelled on both offense and defense. At the plate, Lee went 3-4 and drove in 4 RBIs. Meanwhile, he dominated on the mound over 8 innings, striking out 14 batters and only allowing two runs. Continue on for more of The Shoes That Won Last Night.

With that said let me start. This stuff here is an all around motor treatment. It cleans injectors, unsticks valves, and clears out carbon deposits. For more info read the bottle.
It only cost about 7 bucks at autozone. It should be in the section with the aditives and looks like this VVVV
1. Get a firm grip aroud the can and turn to the back side, read and comprehend the instructions and warnings.
2. Pour 1/3 (no more, no less) of the bottle into your gas tank. I would recomend atleast a half tank of gas.
3. Pour another 1/3 into the oil. And being a mechanic, I understand the importance of oil in a motor, so when i let it sit over night im changing my oil the next day.
4. With the motor on injest the last 1/3 into the air intake system. My recomendation for fuel injected mpfi motors is to disconect the brake booster hose (red arrow is pointing to it) and use it to suck it in like a staw. Do this slowly or your motor will stall. And because of the pressure loss in the intake manifold , your ilde might jump, its normal.
The one and ONLY benifiet of dpfi, I just poured it in.
Oh my Gawd! Its Smoking!
Thats normal, its all the carbon deposits burning off.
More smoke...
After pouring everything in, close everything up and replace all the caps and drive. Drive your car hard for like 10 mins, or untill it stops smoking. and yes it will smoke hard.
The end result: better throttle responce, smoother idle, and a little more power.
Dificulty meeter: 3/10 - because its just pour and go, but it takes some webos to wach all the smoke coming out your car.
Last but not least, i would like to give a shout out to all my Hi Desert peeps and all my old runners from Riverside. Big ups to God and Christine at Autozone, and all my hommies on Scc, CC, H-T, NWP etc.

Now that the Super Bowl is over, it's officially baseball season. We've been following the major news here on At Home Plate all offseason, and now it's time to recap some of the major storylines heading into the 2014 season.
There's been plenty of shifting among players, and some teams have already begun reporting to spring training. The winter has seemed endless, but finally baseball is back.
Expanded Instant Replay
This will be the first year of expanded instant replay, in which managers are given the opportunity to challenge disputed calls. All 30 clubs approved the motion.
All disputed calls will be reviewed at MLB's headquarters in New York City, and if a portion of a challenge is overturned, the manager gets to hold onto that challenge.
After the seventh inning, the crew chief can choose to review a call as well.
Will games take longer? Will fans care as long as the key calls are made correctly, even if that means needing to be reviewed?
The system will be implemented in spring training so all involved personnel can get some seasoning with the new measures.
Red Sox vs. Yankees Renewed
Well, the rivalry never really died, but the Red Sox and Yankees are both gearing up for big seasons.
Boston, of course, won the 2013 World Series and will return a very similar team. But the Yankees have revamped their roster to include former Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury, Carlos Beltran, Brian McCann and prized Japanese import Masahiro Tanaka, not to mention the healthy returns of Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira.
This race should be a dogfight all summer between these two teams. And they both will have to worry about fending off the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles -- and maybe even the Toronto Blue Jays if that team plays up to its potential.
AL West Looking Stacked
The Texas Rangers were not content after missing the World Series last season after making it the previous two seasons. The team added Prince Fielder and Shin-Soo Choo and is looking very strong heading into the season.
But the other teams will not be folding just because Texas improved. The "Moneyball" A's should again be competitive with no matter who they throw out there, and the Seattle Mariners made a huge splash by signing Robinson Cano.
And imagine if the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim played up to snuff. That's four legitimate teams that can vie for the division title. Should be very interesting.
The Los Angeles Dodgers made Clayton Kershaw the highest-paid player in the bigs when they signed the talented lefty to a seven-year, $215 million contract. Now it's up to the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner to live up that contract.
He's done nothing but be stellar in his career, but now that the huge paychecks will be rolling in, the pressure is on to continue that pace. The Dodgers should score plenty of runs for him, so it's tough to think that he'll struggle.
Are Pirates for Real?
The Pittsburgh Pirates finally made the postseason last year after a 20-year hiatus. A collection of young talent and a few veterans allowed the team to end its playoff drought.
But will last season's success translate to this year? The team didn't do much to add players this offseason, but all the youngsters have another year of seasoning under their belt.
The reigning NL MVP Andrew McCutchen will continue to lead, and Pedro Alvarez, Starling Marte and Neil Walker all seem poised to get better.
Losing the veteran A.J. Burnett to free agency is a hit to the starting rotation, but staff has enough depth to make it for that loss.
The St. Louis Cardinals -- even though they lost several big names from their World Series team -- and the Cincinnati Reds should challenge the Pirates in the NL Central.
Was this team just a flash in the pan last year or does it have what it takes for sustained success? That and more will be determined during the 2014 MLB season.

I am having this problem still!
I can not access any links on the forums unless I right click and have them open in a new tab. Using the left mouse button / middle mouse button, does not work.
This is only happening (for me) in Chrome (Version 23.0.1271.97 m). I am making this post using IE, which seems to be loading the site and allowing me to access everything just fine.
When you say you can't access any links, can you elaborate? We're having some issues with the link displayed in the URL field being something different than the real link, but I think you're describing something different.
Essentially, in Chrome, after getting to the discussion selection page (http://forums.autodesk.com/) the website stops responding to my left / middle mouse click buttons, and I am forced to right click (to get to context menu) and open in new tab / window. It's as if it's no longer pulling the OnMouseEvents correctly whenever I use the site in Chrome. This essentially prevents me from posting (as the post button is not a real link) unless I'm using IE.
And yes, you're certainly correct about the URL reporting being incorrect. Glad to know that also isn't just me thinking that I'm crazy.
If you have further questions or would like me to provide more information please ask. Chrome is my main browser, so I wouldn't mind doing a little work to get it back to working for these forums.
Any word on this issue from the web crew? I still can't use the discussions board using Chrome

Female office workers who toil in cubicles consider Helena Morrissey, chief executive of Newton Investment Management, something of a rock star.
In Monday's FT, Lucy Kellaway writes about the impact that she, specifically as a female non-executive director (of Admiral, the FTSE 100 car insurance group), has on her board.
How much does gender deliver diversity? Will a woman inevitably bring a different perspective to the board table than a man, or do we exaggerate the importance of gender in our drive for more heterogeneous management teams? Kellaway goes on to take a tilt at another mantra for increasing female participation at board level: positive role modelling. She writes:
"I don't kid myself that my own inanely grinning face in the annual report is a good example to bright, ambitious women working in the company on whose board I serve."
In an article published last year in European Management Review, an international journal, Sabina Nielsen and Morten Huse discussed their research into the contributions made by women directors to board decision-making and strategic involvement at 120 Norwegian companies.
Because Norway has the highest level of participation of women in the boardroom globally, having introduced a 40 per cent quota in 2008, it makes for a useful gender lab.
Broadly, the researchers found it was not gender as such that underpinned women's different perspectives, but rather the varied professional experience and value systems they tended to bring to the boardroom. More women than men in the research sample had higher degrees and non-business backgrounds. They were less likely than men to tolerate ethical lapses such as insider trading.
Most of them held, like Kellaway, non-executive roles, and those who were executive directors tended to be in "soft" areas such as human resources, marketing and corporate and social responsibility. This difference led to a commonly held notion, among both male and female directors, that female board members were less central to driving their boards' decisions than their male counterparts. There was a difference in those cases where the chief executive was a woman: then all the women in the boardroom were deeply engaged in both setting strategy and contributing to board decisions.
One of the difficulties in research into gender difference in leadership is simply that it is hard to quantify. Also, it often corresponds to perceptions of gender stereotypes. We need more examples of gender-balanced boards – and especially of boards with three or more women executive directors – to be able to analyse how much gender itself makes a difference.
With quotas off the menu – at least in the short term – the drivers for improving the number of women on UK boards are increasingly expected to be recruitment companies and shareholders. (more…)

Unfortunate remarks regarding board diversity made by Josef Ackermann, the chief executive of Deutsche Bank, have landed him in almost as much trouble as when he flashed a V-for-victory sign upon entering a German courthouse in 2004, when he faced trial for approving controversial bonus payments at Mannesmann, the engineering company acquired by Vodafone in 2000.

Farm Bill Action Alert - Please Call Your Senators
This is your chance to stand up for alternatives to pesticides in agriculture. In a big push to move the 2012 Food and Farm Bill forward, the Senate is voting on 73 amendments. We are urging you to call about three pertaining to crop insurance and the Organic Cost Share Program.
This is your chance to stand up for alternatives to pesticides in agriculture.
In a big push to move the 2012 Food and Farm Bill forward, the Senate is voting on 73 amendments. We are urging you to call about three.
Please make two quick calls to your Senators.Ask your Senators to
Vote YES for the-
Merkley-Feinstein-Sanders-Kerry #2382: Organic Crop Insurance Amendment
This amendment makes crop insurance more accessible for organic farmers.
Chambliss #2438: Conservation Compliance Amendment
(Identical to the amendment filed by Senator Cardin earlier in the process).
This amendment reattaches basic conservation requirements to crop insurance, as was the case until 1996.
Crop Insurance must be fixed to work for Organic Farmers:- The farm safety net should work for diverse sectors of US agriculture, including organic
- Organic farmers face unjustifiable barriers to participation in crop insurance which must be removed
- The 2008 Farm Bill took an initial step in addressing these barriers - the 2012 Farm Bill must direct the USDA to develop and publish organic price elections
Vote NO for the
Toomey #2217: Repealing Organic Certification Cost Share Amendment
This amendment would eliminate the program that provides cost share (up to $750 per year per operation) assistance.
National Organic Certification Cost Share is important for all organic farmers because it:- Keeps organic production in the US - meeting strong US consumer demand for organic with US organic product
- Keeps a diversity of farms certifying
- Maintains organic certification as a gateway to the market, as farmers grow beyond direct sales
- Encourages new entry into certified organic
- Encourages processors to certify and grow their organic production, providing Value-Added processing infrastructure for farmers
Thank you for your support!

Do you want to enjoy the rain of grenades? Explosions and explosions every where, then come to Srinagar, capital of Indian state Jammu & Kashmir. Here one can get the live excitement of grenade attack. You may be walking on the road and suddenly a grenade will explode near you. You will find many people and yourself running for safety. Those who are near to grenade attack will not be fortunate enough to run. Some will die there at the spot and others may be wounded. All this will be live and no artificial effect will be in it. Srinagar at an average receives a grenade attack every alternative day. Initially terrorists (coward men) attack grenades only on army men, but however now they even targeting local people. All this may be attributed to the frustration of these coward men. This is tragic part of story what is happening in Srinagar, a land which is know as god's land is burning with fire and with death of innocents. Do these innocent people have no right to move on the road? Does the life of these people have no value? Who will tell these coward people about this? Those who claim to be the fighters of god can do this injustice. I have no answers because my small mind doesn't show me any reason for these cowardly acts.

The 2015 theme for IMC-L is "Supports for the Path: Parami." Please see the Schedule tab for a link to the resource for this year's Dharma Study Group.
The Insight Meditation Community of Lewes is a group committed to using the practice of meditation to explore the dharma, the spiritual path delineated by Gotama Buddha 2500 years ago. Although we call ourselves an Insight, or Vipassana, Meditation community, our group includes persons of other Buddhist and non-Buddhist spiritual traditions who wish to use meditation to deepen their spiritual practice. We welcome both new and experienced meditators to join us as we seek to support each other in our journeys.
We meet on Monday afternoons for silent meditation, host a bi-weekly book discussion group in which we discuss books on meditation and the Buddhist path, and hold a monthly public talk/event the first Friday evening of most months. These events take place at St Peter's Episcopal Church on 2nd and Mulberry Streets in Lewes, Delaware. We also sponsor both half and full day retreats with visiting teachers at a variety of locations including the St. Peter's Parish Hall and the Lewes Senior Center.

Francis II
Francis II
biographical name(born Jan. 19, 1544, Fontainebleau, Francedied Dec. 5, 1560, Orléans) King of France (1559–60). He was the son of Henry II and Catherine de Médicis and was married in 1558 to Mary Stuart (later Mary, Queen of Scots), a relation of the powerful Guise family. Sickly and weak-willed, Francis was dominated throughout his brief reign by the Guises, who tried to use him to break the strength of the Huguenots. His premature death temporarily ended the Guises' dominion. He was succeeded by his brother, Charles IX.

The Disappearance of Etan Patz
The Boy on the Milk Carton
The school bus arrived at the West Broadway stop at 8:10 a.m. A group of children got on, but Etan Patz wasn't with them. Later that morning at the Independence Plaza School on Greenwich Street, Etan's first-grade teacher noticed his absence but failed to report it to the principal's office. Julie Patz was unaware that her son was missing until that afternoon. The bus returned to the West Broadway stop at 3:15 p.m. The neighbor who always picked up Etan along with his own daughter was puzzled when Etan didn't get off the bus. His daughter informed him that Etan hadn't been in school that day. The man wondered why Julie or Stanley hadn't called to let him know that Etan was staying home that day.
At the Patzes' loft, Julie was beginning to worry. Etan should have been home by now. She called the neighbor who usually escorted Etan and learned for the first time that Etan hadn't been in school that day. Julie immediately called the police, then called her husband who raced home.
NYPD Detective William Butler got the call from his dispatcher at 5:15 p.m., and he and his partner drove directly to the Patzes' loft. As soon as Detective Butler spoke to Etan's parents, he knew instinctively that this was not a typical lost-child situation. In most cases it's just a case of crossed signals, kids thinking they have their parents' permission to go to a friend's house when they really don't. Other kids just wander off and play hooky. But Butler felt this case was different.
The search for Etan Patz began that evening. Nearly 100 officers combed the area, knocking on doors, searching rooftops and basements. The Patzes' apartment was used as a temporary command post because Etan knew his phone number. Julie and Stanley hovered by the phone, praying for him to call. The police stood by in case a kidnapper called in with a ransom demand.
The night wore on. Just before midnight it started to rain. Julie fretted because Etan had left that morning with only a light jacket. Detective Butler quietly worried that the rain would wash away Etan's scent. Bloodhounds were being brought in from upstate, but they weren't scheduled to arrive until 8 a.m. He hoped there'd be something left for the hounds to smell.
The next morning when the bloodhounds finally arrived, they were given a pair of Etan's pajamas to identify their subject, then they were sent out into the streets with their handlers. In the meantime the search area was expanded to encompass the entire lower end of Manhattan from 14th Street to Battery Park. Police helicopters hovered over the search zone, scanning rooftops. Police boats scoured the waterways.
The police appealed to the public for any tip that could lead to the boy's whereabouts. Toll-free telephone numbers were set up, and calls started pouring in, some from as far away as California. Neighborhood residents helped in the search, papering the city with color posters of Etan's face. The media jumped on the story and propagated several erroneous leads regarding Etan Patz sightings in Boston and other places.
On Sunday, May 27, a witness came forward who claimed to have seen a boy who fit Etan's description talking to a "suspicious-looking man" three blocks from the corner of Prince and Wooster Streets where Julie had last seen her son. Under hypnosis, the witness described the man as white, about 40 years old, with freckles and dyed blond hair. It was a tenuous lead because the witness wasn't sure if the boy she'd seen was actually Etan Patz, but the police couldn't discount any possibility.
For days it seemed that Etan's smiling face was everywhere—on lamp poles, in store windows, in the newspapers, on television. The police continued the search, giving it everything they had. But on June 6, 13 days after he disappeared, the emergency response was terminated. Etan Patz's disappearance remained an open case, but most of the officers who had taken part in the search were eventually reassigned to other cases. But for Detective Butler, Etan's case was still very much on the front burner. Nearly every day he would drive down Prince Street at 8 a.m., imagining what might have happened to Etan on the morning of May 25, hoping that something would occur to him that he hadn't thought of before, that he would see something that would trigger an idea. He visited the scene every morning for years, and Julie Patz took comfort in looking out her window and seeing his car pass by. As long as the case was still active, Etan might still be alive.
But weeks turned into months and months turned into years. Etan became the first missing child to be featured on a milk carton. The search for the skinny, middle-aged, blond man with freckles was ultimately fruitless. It wasn't until 1982 that detectives in the Bronx picked up a suspect in an unrelated crime and stumbled upon a solid lead. The suspect was a known pedophile.

A Storage Solution for Lots of Digital Photos?
Re:Serious OS X user? (122 comments)
To claim that RAID is "good enough" in any circumstances where data loss is unacceptable is to not fully understand data backup.
What happens if two of your drives fail simultaneously? This is not as unlikely as it sounds, since those drives were almost certainly manufactured, bought, and installed more or less at the same time, meaning they'll meet their MTBF at the same time. Yes, the M in MTBF means "Mean", but they're still all going to be reaching the end of their expected life at the same time. And when one drive fails, the demand on the others goes up a lot when you rebuild the RAID, increasing the chance of failure even more.
What happens if you get filesystem corruption? Yes, it happens, no matter what hardware or what OS. My university had a massive RAIDed file server whose controller decided to start randomly corrupting things one day. Good thing they had everybody's files on tape, because that RAID was toast, and any RAID would be under those same circumstances.
What happens if your house gets hit by a meteor? Yes, the meteor is fanciful, but building-destroying events are not. Meteor, flood, fire, whatever, RAID helps not a bit, because your redundant drives all get smashed/wet/burned at the same time. And even if you think that these are unlikely, what about a miniature flood caused by somebody spilling their Supersized Coke? Or any number of minor domestic accidents....
If you can't lose the data, you must have offsite backups. If you can lose it, why bother with RAID?

If you have a full backsplash done with your granite countertops what thickness is the granite they use for the backsplash? Is it the same thickness as the counter itself or do they make it thinner somehow? I suppose that I should just ask the granite people. I thought that asking here might help others who are doing their planning and learning about what is possible. I have spent hours reading here and cannot thank you enough for the education I have gained. Following the advice I seen here I finally found a custom cabinetmaker in my area who is doing a wonderful job for us. I especially like that they build and install the cabinets themselves. They are willing to make the cabinet and size you want and are quick to suggest that you add an inch or two to make things more functional. I found them by doing an online search for cabinetmakers in my state. Thanks to everyone for all of the advice here and for an answer to my granite question. |

I think it is typical to use 3cm (aka 1 1/4") material for the counters, and 2cm (aka) 3/4" material for the backsplash. Although I think out west 2 cm is more typically used for the counters, and I don't know what they would use for the backsplash in that case. |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Tue, Oct 1, 13 at 11:00
You use 3 cm for it all in the East, and 2 cm for it all in the West. That way, you can have it all cut from the same slab and have the veins "flow" across the counter and up the wall. If you did a thinner granite from a different slab for the backsplash, it might not match or have any flow. |
I have a full granite backsplash and I believe it is the same thickness as the countertop - 3 cm. Abbey |
My full granite BS is also the same as the counter, 3 cm. I'm in the East. It did come out of the same slabs, and we did match the veining as much as possible. The only place this thickness could have been a problem was around the window trim, which was not as thick as the BS. The fabricator solved this by beveling the edge of the stone around the window. |
I am on the West Coast. We actually got 3cm thick for both counter and backsplash. Not sure why there is an east coast vs west coast preference on 2cm vs 3cm. The slabs were already cut at 3cm thick. I liked the thcker width - the edge on ours is cut directly without bonding any additional material. |
- Posted by cloud_swift (My Page) on Tue, Oct 1, 13 at 21:48
Our counters are 2 cm thick and the backsplash is from the same slabs. We also had Columbia Gorge Stoneworks (stonewallplates.com) make wall plate covers from our stone for the switches and outlets on the backsplash. |
- Posted by joaniepoanie (My Page) on Tue, Oct 1, 13 at 21:54
I'm on the east coast and both are 1 1/4. |
- Posted by Trentsteff (My Page) on Tue, Oct 1, 13 at 23:13
Seattle - I always have my clients use 3 cm on the counter and 3/4" on the backsplash if it is available. More 2 or 3 cm if not. |
Our backsplash is the same thickness as the countertops. Slabs from different lots can vary greatly so I would compare materials side by side if the backsplash material is from another slab/lot. We used three slabs from the same lot selected from the five or six slabs in stock. As mentioned above, preplan for any exposed edges or where it meets trim as it will likely be thicker than the trim if using 3 cm. We used the same ogee edge as the counters where the backsplash met the window trim and it worked perfectly. It's difficult to maneuver the backsplash between the countertops and upper cabinets and we did have minor scratches on the countertops and side of the oven cabinet. The fabricator attempted to polish the countertop scratch a couple of times on site but I can still see a slight difference although no one else notices. |
- Posted by bob_cville (My Page) on Wed, Oct 2, 13 at 13:32
I guess I'm totally wrong. Sorry. I just purchased some granite for a kitchen remodel I'm doing, that was cut for a different job but never installed. It had several 3cm pieces and several 2cm pieces that the guy said were for full height backsplashes. He said that was how it was typically done. However given that I got enough material to do my kitchen counters and bathroom vanity top with some left over in case of breakage in fabrication for $400 I won't complain about the guy being wrong on this assertion. |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Wed, Oct 2, 13 at 14:32
It's difficult to see because of all of the stuff on the counter and angle, but the veining in the 3cm Golden River here flows across the counter and up the wall. It's bookmatched. And the backsplash piece actually had to be done in 3 separate pieces so that it could fit under the curve of the hood. |
- Posted by muskokascp (My Page) on Wed, Oct 2, 13 at 15:04
Ours was the 3cm for both. The backsplash piece came from the same slab as the counter so the veins would flow across the counter then up the wall. We are in the East too. |
Mine is being installed today! I am watching as I read gardenweb and take pictures. :). I bought 4 slabs of 3cm White Macaubas. The slabs used for the islands and waterfalls were left 3cm. The big piece on the rangetop wall was shaved down to 2cm. My granite guy was particularly concerned about supporting the weight of the wall piece which is about 5ft tall by 7ft wide. He recommended shaving the wall piece down to 2cm. We used shorter slab backsplashes in other areas of the house, and he shaved those to 2cm as well. |
- Posted by TexasPenny (My Page) on Wed, Oct 2, 13 at 23:14
My countertop is 3cm soapstone and the backsplash is the same slab cut down to 2cm. |
I've worked with granite companies for the last 25 years here on the west coast. All of it is 3/4". The front edge is cut and rolled over to create the bullnose. This covers the 5/8" plywood sub top. The granite is fully adhered to the plywood in most cases. The backsplash is glued directly to the drywall and caulked at the edges to the wall or adjoining cabinets. If the material is soapstone or marble it is backed with cloth mat and if needed, steel rods are let into the back. Some faucet and sink arrangements are tight with a 3/4" backsplash. I can't imagine a large sink, Grohe faucet, and 1 1/4" backsplash working at all. |
klhoush brings up a good point about the thick BS getting in the way of the faucet. In order to fit in a tip out drawer, sink, and faucet with my 3cm BS, I needed to turn the handle of the faucet 45 degrees to the front. At the side, it would not have had room to swing. This varies by faucet, though. You need to check the diagram for the faucet to determine the clearance needed for the handle, and not all faucets can be installed flexibly. The problem can be addressed in other ways, too - you can bump out the sink area, giving more room in back, or you can choose an asymmetrical sink that has a smaller side with more room for the faucet. It's not a big problem, but it should be considered in the planning so it's not a surprise later. I have heard of fabricators shaving down the granite to 2cm for the BS, as some people have mentioned. |
