found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Gecho!
Facts about Gecho
- Breed: Australian Shepherd Mix
- Color: White - With Gray Or Silver
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Gecho's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
e are working on house training skills with Gecho. She is doing very well with daily training using positive touch. She is very smart and learns fast. She loves to be held. If you think you have the perfect home for Gecho, please fill out an adoption application and we will start the process. Since she is deaf and blind, she will need an adopter that is both patient and willing to take on the necessary life commitment to train and help Gecho with all of her special needs.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Gecho, a Philadelphia Australian Shepherd puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Shepherd for sale in Philadelphia, or seeking a Australian Shepherd puppy from a breeder in Philadelphia.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Philadelphia already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Philadelphia breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Australian Shepherd breeders who help with Australian Shepherd rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Philadelphia paves the way for another one to be saved.

Our current project is a dance-theater show about primates and prayer. It will premiere September 13-22, 2013 at CounterPulse in San Francisco.
We've got a group of 6 multitalented performers (El Beh, Jennifer Chien, Kat Cole, Michael Mohammed, Rowena Richie, Christopher W. White) collaborating on the creation of the piece under the direction of EmSpace artistic director Erin Mei-Ling Stuart (a.k.a. "me"). And we have a production team that includes Erik Pearson, Allen Willner, Marilee Talkington, and Katy Adcox. Superstars all of them. We're making all sorts of things right now, some of which will end up in the final piece - the story of an encounter with a zoo gorilla, a prayer for a lost cat, dances where we play like chimps, a story about a girl who lost her tail, musings on the uniqueness of humans, and more...
But, why primates and prayer? It has something to do with the way we use both to understand being human. At least that is what I'm figuring out as we go along.
I didn't grow up in a religion, and now I think of myself as a bad Buddhist, which is actually an upgrade from my previous self-identification as a wannabe Buddhist. I meditate. Regularly sometimes. And I've been hanging around Zen Center long enough to get the feeling that Buddhism really is a religion and not just a philosophy or a practice, or whatever I thought it was in the beginning that allowed me to approach it in the first place. But even with all of this, I hadn't thought a whole lot about prayer specifically until a trip a couple of years ago to Germany, France, and England. Especially France. All of those big, grand churches designed to inspire awe. On one of many epic walking days, perhaps a little overwhemed, I climbed a big hill and walked into one of those big, grand churches - actually an abby built in the 14th century. I sat down, and it was quiet and peaceful (unlike, say, Notre Dame which is pretty much a madhouse.) It really felt like a sanctuary. So I thought I would meditate for a few minutes. Because, I thought, we're all pretty much doing the same thing. Meditating. Praying. Whatever.
But somehow the meditation wouldn't take.
And somehow I ended up with my elbows up on the back of the pew in front of me.
And my hands were clasped.
And my head was lowered.
And there I was neatly positioned in the shape of western Christian prayer, at least as I imagine it.
And I started wondering. Are we all doing the same thing? When I meditate is that prayer? What is prayer? What is it for?
And since then I have been asking different people about prayer. And I am learning some things. And it seems that one way of understanding prayer is that it is something we use to connect to something outside of ourselves, something bigger than ourselves, and maybe that is our community, or the earth, or the universe, or god. And that prayer is something we use to understand and realize our own divinity and what is best in us. Anne Lammott says it's a light that helps us see "what is way beyond us and deep inside". Yes.
The beginnings of the primate part of the piece are a little less personal. It started with a book. Robert Sapolsky's "A Primate's Memoir". Read it. You will enjoy it. It's about his time in Africa studying baboons in order to understand the effects of long term stress on the body and brain. (Apparently it's pretty stressful being a low-ranking baboon). He describes the baboons' distinctive personalities (he gives them names from the old testament) and the complex organization of their society. And when I first read the book many years ago, I thought, I need to make a piece about baboons. But I didn't. Until now.
This piece isn't just about baboons, of course. We're thinking also thinking about chimps, bonobos, gorillas, all of whom are significantly smarter than baboons and even more like us. And that's kind of what the primate thing is all about in this project: how they are so like us. How they are not like us. How we have tried to learn about who we are by studying them, and how we have treated them in the process. Science has studied non-human primates to understand how our bodies work, but also language, relationships, learning, violence, fairness, mental illness, love. Maybe we're continuing in that tradition. We're also reminding ourselves that we are animals.
I think there is some sort of state of grace to be found here, hovering between our animal bodies and our reaching out into the way beyond.

B S Mardhekar is Now 100
(btw- Year 2009-10 is rich with centenaries. Watch this space for my favourites Baburao Arnalkar बाबूराव अर्नाळकर, N G Kalelkar ना गो कालेलकर & D K Bedekar दि के बेडेकर to make maiden and Durga Bhagwat दुर्गा भागवत & Setu Madhavrao Pagadi सेतु माधवराव पगडी to make one more appearance on this blog.)
Mardhekar has been this blog's favourite.
See previous entries on him here.
My love for him has diminished slightly in last few years.
It's largely because of the late M V Dhond (म वा धोंड).
Although Dhond has done more than any other to interpret Mardhekar for us, he rated him far lower than the Marathi saint poets. On phone with me, Dhond was almost dismissive of Mardhekar when I spoke reverently about him.
W H Auden and T S Eliot, Mardhekar's idols, were great poets of 20th century. He too was a very good poet but greatness certainly eluded him.
I am not complaining though. I am happy with his 'shadja'(षड्ज) that is lower but smiling.
अस्थाईवर पुन्हा परतलों,
चुकून गेला पहा अंतरा;
ढिल्या गळ्यावर षड्ज बांधणें
अतां खालचा परंतु हंसरा.

I read good review and really wanted to like this, but I couldn't. It seemed way too heavy for a lotion & it didn't sink in well. It felt waxy. I think it actually stung my legs when I put it on after I shaved. Plus the price for only 4oz was expensive.

In the last several years my laboratory has focused on three distinct but related projects: regulation and function of asymmetric cell division, mechanisms of cancer metastasis and regulation of epithelia polarization in vitro and in vivo. The latest findings and future directions for these projects are described below. 1. Molecular mechanisms of epithelial cells polarization. Epithelial cells are structurally and functionally polarized to transport specific molecules while maintaining a trans-epithelial barrier. This cellular asymmetry is essential for the proper functioning of epithelial tissues and depends on polarized endocytic transport routes. Additionally, epithelial cells coordinate their polarization with neighboring cells to form an apical lumen, a key step in the establishment of renal and gut architecture, and thereby function. Indeed, malfunctions in epithelial cell polarization and apical lumen formation are responsible for a variety of renal and intestinal disorders, such as polycystic kidney disease, renal tubular acidosis, microvilli inclusion disease and diabetes insipidus. This project aims to fill critical gaps in our understanding of epithelial cell biology, including what are the molecular mechanisms mediating coordinated formation of apical lumen during epithelia morphogenesis and function. Despite recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms mediating lumen formation, many questions remains unanswered. How are endosomes targeted during apical lumen formation? How do cells establish the site of single apical lumen? Do the mechanisms of lumen formation established in vitro also apply to epithelial morphogenesis in vivo? Addressing these pivotal and unanswered questions forms the backbone of this project. This study is designed to analyze the machinery of apical lumen formation using in vitro (MDCK cells three dimensional cultures) and in vivo (zebrafish) models. 2. Regulation breast cancer metastasis. Remodelling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is a key process during tumor growth and metastasis and is mediated via formation of structures, known as invadopodia, and targeted secretion of enzymes, known as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Invadopodia are actin-rich structures that degrade the ECM and have been shown to be important for tumor progression. MMP2/9 also have been shown to be enriched at the invadopodia and are known for their roles in breast tumor growth/metastasis. As a result, MMP2/9 have emerged as possible therapeutic targets. Unfortunately, clinical trials directly inhibiting MMP2/9 have proven ineffective, mostly due to adverse side effects and pre-existing high levels of secreted MMPs. It has been proposed that targeting the machinery specifically mediating MMP secretion at cancer cell invadopodia is more effective approach. However, little is known about targeted MMP2/9 secretion since most of the studies have focused on the mechanisms mediating ECM and cell adhesion and actin dynamics during metastasis. In contrast, very few studies have analysed the machinery mediating targeted MMP secretion in cancer cells in vitro and tested these mechanisms in vivo. The main goal of this project is to combine studies using basic cell and molecular biology techniques with more translational in vivo approaches to define and systematically analyse novel pathways that mediate targeted MMP transport and secretion during breast cancer metastasis. The strength of this project is combining of the unique expertise from my lab (cell biology and Rab GTPases), Dr. Paul Jedlicka (microRNA and pathology) and Dr. Tracy Lyons (breast cancer and xenograft assays) laboratories. This combination will allow us to comprehensively test these hypotheses in vitro and in vivo. 3. The role of midbodies in regulating cancer and stem cell proliferation. Cytokinesis is the final stage of the cell cycle resulting in physical separation of daughter cells. At late mitosis, the mother cell divides by the formation of a cleavage furrow, leaving two daughter cells connected by a thin intercellular bridge (ICB). The resolution of this bridge, abscission, is mediated by coordinated action between specialized recycling endosomes and cytoskeleton. During ingression of the cleavage furrow, the central spindle microtubules are compacted to form the structure known as the midbody (MB). The MB is situated within the ICB, with the abscission usually occurring at one side of the MB. As a result of this one-sided (asymmetric) abscission, only one daughter cell inherits the post-mitotic MB. These post-mitotic MBs can then either accumulate in the cytoplasm or be degraded. Interestingly, recent studies have identified post-mitotic MBs as novel signaling platforms regulating stem cell fate and proliferation. Indeed, stem cells were shown to accumulate post-mitotic MBs and the induction of MB accumulation leads to reprogramming of cell fate and conversion to highly-proliferative stem cell-like phenotypes. Despite the importance of MBs in determining cell fate and proliferative capacity, the mechanisms that regulate asymmetric MB inheritance and post-mitotic degradation remains completely unknown. As the result, the main goal of this project is to identify the factors mediating MB inheritance and accumulation, and to test the role of these factors in regulating stem cell fate and differentiation.

Last night I tried the Cook's Illustrated "Sear and Bake Low" technique for
sirloin. Since all meat cuts seem to respond slightly differently to this I
thought I'd report.
I roasted a chunk of sirloin from short end weighing 2.5 lb, about 3" in
diameter. I always ask for the short end of the sirloin. It is slightly more
tender, and has a better taste. As well the "steak" is shorter, less than
12". I trimmed all the fat off, down to the meat.. I used the trimmed fat to
sear the steak on all sides at a high temp. and as quickly as possible. The
steak was then put to rest for a couple of hours to bring everything back to
room temp. I'm thinking this may contribute to an edge to edge rare steak.
The steak, covered with strips of fat went onto a rack at 225F for an hour
and a half, until the temp. was 115F. The oven was turned down to warm and
45 minutes later the temp was 125F. After 15 minutes rest we sliced it into
half inch slices and chowed down. I was interested in seeing if the same
technique with the eye of round in my preceding post would yield the same
result. It pretty much does. It seems to be an excellent way to get a thick
piece of meat seared on the outside and rare-medium-rare throughout. When I
have done this cut in the past it's easy to end up with something that's
basically raw in the middle. Next, on to "sous vide" with the same cut.

Everyone wants to buy the most luxurious and trendy watches, but why spend so much money when you can get high quality replica watches for less than a fraction of the original price, it just makes so much sense. At PureTimeWatch you can do exactly that and more. PureTimeWatch.com specialise in offering the very best deals and they are easily one of the best sites online, in terms of product range and customer service. They are probably only surpassed by Touch Watches, but even so not by much. At PureTimeWatch you'll be able to quell your thirst for fashion accessories, however Pure Time Watch mainly focuses on watches, whereas at other sites like Touch Watches, they focus on all types of fashion accessory. This isn't at all a criticism of Pure Time Watch, more a positive of Touch Watches.
Pure Time Watch Product Range
One of the best things, if not the best thing about Pure Time Watch is the absolutely massive product range they have. They have such an extensive amount of watches, that even the most committed fan of designer watches will struggle to recognise all the makes and models. This means that who ever you and no matter how much money you have, you'll be able to find a replica designer watch that is perfect you. That really sums up PureTimeWatch company, they never look to exclude anyone from their website. However at Touch Watches they have a very similar sized product range of watches for the top brand names like Rolex and so on but they also have an extensive product range of other great names in the luxury watches industry, which makes it a lot more suitable for dedicated fashion enthusiasts.
PureTimeWatch.com Customer Support
At PureTimeWatch.com they display an incredible amount of customer support, there are constantly people available to answer your questions and queries. They offer support via phone, email plus lots of other ways, just to make sure you have a satisfactory and positive shopping experience with. At Pure Time Watch they don't just get you to buy something and then abandon all customer support, if you have an after sale problem with an item then they will go that extra mile to sort it out for you. However when PureTimeWatch is compared to Touch Watches, they don't have quite as money customer assistants, they still have a lot, just not quite as many as Touch Watches. This isn't necessarily a negative, simply a positive aspect of Touch Watches. Overall both sites have excellent customer support and any customer would be happy using either.

The state deficit forecast: what's the real figure?
Why forecasters have so much trouble getting it right, and why the Washington deficit for the next biennium is $2 billion less than the $5.1 billion normally cited.
Just days ago, the state's chief economist, Arun Raha, sliced another $780 million from expected tax collections through June 30, 2013. The number includes $80 million from the current fiscal year, which has been in the red for months. The projected budget deficit for 2011-13 now swells to as much as $5.1 billion. The situation, while bad, is not that bad. The real figure is about $3 billion, as I'll explain below.
According to custom, the March forecast is the final piece of the fiscal puzzle to drop before legislators get serious about writing a budget. It supposedly marks an end to the uncertainty and speculation (and wheel-spinning) by giving lawmakers a clear idea of how much money they'll have to work with in the coming budget cycle.
But it doesn't. As Raha said in comments prefacing his March 17 forecast, "The economic outlook remains clouded with a great deal of uncertainty." It's been cloudy for a while. Since lawmakers adopted the biennial budget two years ago, estimated collections have fallen nearly $2.5 billion.
Forecasting is the art of anticipation. Like skeet shooters, analysts track the target, lead it a bit, and squeeze the trigger. It's all about recognizing the arc and aiming just ahead of it. Predictability is the key. Zigs and zags, spikes and dives, turn the sport into a game of chance. Hits are rare. Misses rule.
Across the country, missed revenue forecasts are the norm. A recent joint analysis by the Pew Center on the States and the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government found that "in 2009 fully 70 percent of all forecasts overestimated revenues by 5 percent or more…The median error was a 10.2 percent overestimate." Despite significant improvement in 2010, the Pew-Rockefeller analysts say the long-term trend is "that overestimates have gotten larger during each of the past three economic downturns, and more states have made them."
University of Tennessee economist William Fox, who participates in that state's forecasting process, tells Pew-Rockefeller, "Whenever I testify on this topic, I say I'm going to be wrong. The only question is, how wrong am I going to be?"
Raha's track record beats many of his peers, though that may be small consolation to frustrated budget writers. The certainty they're looking for doesn't exist in a dynamic economy and turbulent world.
Last week, he gave a 20 percent probability to the pessimistic forecast, 10 percent to the optimistic, and 70 percent to the baseline. Carefully, he cited "geopolitical developments" including oil price volatility heightened by unrest in the Middle East and North Africa and the impacts of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
To these uncertainties, add the Pew-Rockefeller finding that the primary factor driving forecast errors is "the volatility of the revenues streams themselves." The analysts point to reliance on income and capital-gains taxes, shifts in consumer spending, and the continuing restructuring of the nation's industrial base.
While Washington doesn't have the unstable income and capital-gains taxes, we're not immune to the vagaries of consumer spending — more important here because of our consumption-based tax structure — and an evolving economy.
Even as personal income growth returned over the last year, consumer spending remained restrained as households paid down debt, built savings, and replenished retirement accounts. No one knows when or whether consumers will revert to past patterns. But it's unlikely anytime soon. Surveys show consumer confidence has fallen again in recent weeks. Rising gas prices and high unemployment suggest continuing frugality.
Another example of the growing challenges facing forecasters came out last week as Raha noted a revenue department estimate that the continued increase in online sales escaping taxation total $740 million.
Lawmakers facing a multi-billion dollar shortfall will want to spend everything Raha has identified for them. They shouldn't. Remember, he also said downside risks are twice as high as upside risks. Take that seriously and you leave a little extra in reserve.
Conservatively, the forecast numbers mean that balancing the budget will require about $3 billion in serious cutbacks. The widely cited $5.1 billion shortfall, routinely reported as fact by the media, is inflated by about $2 billion for programs not currently funded and which no one ever expected to see in 2011-2013.

This is a one-sided piece. I could talk about budget deficits all day long. I could spend more money than last year and experience budget deficits; I could spend the same as last year and experience deficits. The rate of revenue growth could merely SLOW and deficits could result. Costs could rise faster than revenue, and a deficit would result. As long as the author talks about deficits, its about the gap between expected spending and available revenue. That does not mean Revenue has declined in aggregate as much as implied, nor much at all!. The author has actually said NOTHING that informs or clarifies the States fiscal position. Nada.
Posted Mon, Mar 21, 9:17 a.m.
Yes, but there remains the need to address the huge "tax expenditures"--loopholes benefiting favored companies and sectors---which cut a huge hole in the state revenue base. Successive governors, Gregoire included, keep pledging to review and reduce them but, in the end, increase them. Time to get real.
Posted Mon, Mar 21, 10:12 a.m.
Good article that helps illustrate why those of us on the outside get frustrated when we hear politicians discussing budget deficits. There is the official deficit - a wink-and-a-nod number. It is comprised of all the things government has promised to do - all the programs in law plus a boatload of extra dollars to make up for programmatic and employee compensation cuts that have taken place during the current budget period.
But lawmakers know that the official number isn't the real number since they can't fund all the stuff included in the official number. So there is also a real deficit - a very different number based on the things the legislature has to fund plus the programs it really really wants to fund.
It's important for folks to understand why the state is on an unsustainable budget path. The official and real deficit numbers help explain one of the reasons. If the legislature simply repealed some of the laws they suspend during tough times, they wouldn't start each new budgeting period so far in the hole. But instead, they suspend the laws for two years, keeping them intact to virtually ensure a new deficit for the next budgeting cycle.
This suspension strategy helps keep various interest groups happy and it helps justify asking the voters for more resources. It also helps to keep some good but nonessential programs alive in case we want to fund them when revenues improve. But it also squeezes out other programs and justifies moving resources from the private to the public sector.
The notion of two different deficit numbers may be arguable but it is based in reality, Olympia-style. And, to the extent that's a problem, one solution comes to mind. Change the suspension strategy and reduce the deficit to something closer to its real number. Or keep pursuing the current strategy of maintaining unfundable programs on the books while telling the voters that the state's funding sky is falling, falling, falling. Maybe next time we'll believe you.

Thanks Mr. Davis for a piece helpful to understand at least part of the predicament in the state's budget. I do disagree with crankyoldlady on a couple of her points. First, the "government" isn't responsible for reducing class sizes and providing COLAs to teachers; those were Initiatives to the people and they passed in 2000. To blame the legislators for them is unfair and to ask that they throw themselves on the sword of technical correctness is naive, given that voters would never raise their suspension strategy to a make or break issue at the polls.
Secondly, I would argue that Initiatives 728 and 732 are essential needs of the state and should be funded first not last. Reducing class sizes in the early grades will dramatically improve student outcomes and produce long-term cost savings for the state in terms of social services, health, and job prospects. Certainly far more important than incarcerating for life third-strike felons who boosted someone's TV.

You need to read http://cafr1.com and then rewrite your article. There is a video that is provided that was recorded last summer. This is one of the most important issues of the day, yet no one is writing about it and I wonder who is keeping them silent.
Walter Burien is very informed and is available for email questions as well as phone calls. You need to get up to speed why Michigan and the Commonwealth of Massachusets want to have the power to appoint a corporations over any states elected government at any level. They want to raid the second set of book with contain massive amount of money. Learn about it, and then write me and tell me if when you will write a accurate and more informative article. The press and journalists in America are just too afraid to tell the truth to the public. That is your job. The Federal law requires this money be reported in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report but the local papers and television commercial news will not tell the public.
Do a Google search on Walter Burien and CAFR and you will find lots of You Tube videos, interview with Alex Jones.
Please please inform people.
Arizona now has a law pending in front of the Senate, HB (number I just lost when my tabs disappeared but I can find in an email I sent to another friend, or Walter Burien can get it for you, that will require more transparency in the reporting of the annual books. All States should have this law, and we are trying to get this accomplished, or will bloggers and writer still circumvent the real powerful information that we should never have to pay taxes again. It is the people's money.
Would appreciate a response.
Still not fully confident of this email system so will send separate email when I find the Arizona HB I referenced here.
Please let me know what you learned, if you wouldn't mind.

I think the COL's point was that when the general rule is to cry wolf, the voters decide not to take it seriously and vote their own desires—sometimes it's smaller classrooms and sometimes it's no new taxes (what the Gov keeps saying she heard).
Posted Tue, Mar 22, 10:08 p.m.
Thanks, afreeman, I see the point, but I'm not sure not crying wolf will get the voters to vote rationally for the common good any sooner (In general, I do not hold to the idea that "the people/the voters" are the innocent rational actors and the politicians are trying to fool them). Secondly, to kill these Initiatives will make it that much harder to ever get them funded. I would much rather have them suspended until better times and hope they can get funded than kill them outright and have to start the Initiative process all over again. In other words, I can live with some hypocrisy and foolery in politics as a way to keep the goals articulated and in the public spotlight.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Fritz - ADOPTED!!
Facts about Fritz - ADOPTED!
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Fritz - ADOPTED!'s Info...
I am already neutered, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Estimated Date of Birth: February 24, 2009
Male- NEUTERED
Short Haired Brown Tabby and White
Hello there! Im Fritz, and I came to Tigerlily Cat Rescue after being found outside injured. It seems that I had a home, sometime, though I have been outside for a while, and need to work on trusting people again. I am sweet and gentle, once I know that I am safe and secure. I would do best in quiet, calm home, and will probably need a bit more patience and TLC as I learn that people can be trusted and loved again. I am hoping that sometime soon I will find that purrfect family to call my own.
Love, Fritz
Other Pets at Tigerlily Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Fritz - ADOPTED!, a Sterling Heights Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Sterling Heights, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Sterling Heights.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sterling Heights already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Sterling Heights breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sterling Heights paves the way for another one to be saved.

Actually, I have a theory on how to add an expansion without changing the talent system. Currently, we get one talent point every second level, except for 80-85 we get one per level. *If* they only increased the level cap to 90, then they could simply adjust so we still only get a point every second level all the way to the end, and finish with the same number of points overall. No other changes required.

But then you're asking your random PUG tanks to know when exactly that 12% damage reduction from talents (I'm using my druid as an example here) gets applied, before, after, or on top of armour? At least asking for their avoidance and stamina can give you a concrete number.

The lobby, however, has yet to issue any memo or talking points regarding the looming sequestration and its potential impact on American aid to Israel. In part, this reflects the problem facing supporters of Israel as they experience the challenge of across-the-board cuts.
Singling out Israel as being immune to any cuts at a time when all other government programs will face painful cuts may be useless at best, or even counterproductive.
History says it will be difficult if not impossible to prevent the cuts. The 1985 Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Balanced Budget Act required all government agencies to cut spending in order to meet the goal of a balanced budget. As a result, aid to Israel took a hit, and Israel was forced to return part of the annual assistance.
This example makes clear that little can be done to fight sequestration and that if legislation is not changed, aid to Israel is facing its biggest financial setback ever.
Political and economic developments, however, could provide last-minute relief. The cuts are scheduled to begin shortly after the 2012 elections, and with a new Congress and possibly a new president, plans for sequestration could be altered.
The cuts also coincide with the expiration of the George W. Bush-era tax cuts and with the expected need to raise the national debt ceiling once again. A deal that would incorporate all these factors could, experts believe, eliminate the need for automatic budget cuts.
The automatic across-the-board cuts may be the immediate hurdle facing American aid to Israel. But a greater challenge in the long run is a growing distaste among Americans in general and Republicans in particular for foreign aid. Republican presidential candidates, despite pledging their support for Israel, have gone on record promising to begin any discussion on foreign aid "from zero."
The pro-Israel lobby has taken on the cause of advocating for foreign aid as a means of increasing America's global clout and as an extension of its diplomacy. On its website, AIPAC features a video clip produced by American Global Leadership, a bipartisan group led by former administration officials, in which young children speak of the importance of foreign aid.
In the viceo, one girl says, "Actually, we're not spending that much money." She is followed by a boy holding a jar of marbles. The boy states, as he lifts one marble, "Just 1% of our national budget goes to the international affairs budget."
A November 21 focus group discussion, organized by The Israel Project, illustrated the challenges the concept of foreign aid faces. The participants, likely Republican voters from Virginia, were asked to give their opinion about foreign aid. The unanimous response around the table: "Too much."
One woman added, "It's time we started to take care of ourselves."

I just received my box of 30 bulbs yesterday, and will be planting this weekend. So excited, but since I've invested quite a bit of $ (although, colorblends had them for $4.00 a bulb--not bad) I don't want to mess it up!
I've researched how to plant, but get different answers from different sources, so I'd love some 'real life' experience.... 1.) How deep should I plant them?
Thanks so much,
Follow-Up Postings:
I know that the foliage will start to brown at the tips of the leaves during bloom time. I will be planting them among some smaller hostas, but is it alright to trim the leaves just a bit (like at the tips that start to brown?) I wouldn't cut them off completely.... just trim off the tips. Have any of you done this? |
I plant mine about twice the depth of the bulb, or 8" deep, i.e. the base (or bottom) of the bulb sits 8" from the top of the soil. You can plant the bulbs 6-12" apart. The leaves are both wide and long, so take up quite a bit of room. I do not recommend trimming or cutting the leaves in any way. As with most bulbs, it is the nourishment from the leaves that goes back to feed the bulbs and keep them healthy. Plant them now in your zone. The soil does NOT have to be cool/cold to plant alliums. I do not use bulb fertilizer myself, but if you want to use it, then follow the recommendations on the container. Water well after planting and mulch lightly with compost, old leaves, etc. Plant Globemaster behind other mid-size plants such as daylilies. That way you won't notice the browning leaves so much. Good luck! I really look forward to my Globemasters flowering every year, late June to early July in my garden. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Globemaster care guide
Thank you! That was very helpful. I'm pretty excited about them and will be astonished if I can actually grow something so beautiful. :) (newbie gardener) |

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Abul Goutondji, Leopoldine Elvire Sylviane email@example.com URN etd-10302008-165039 Document Title Preventing water pollution by dairy by-products : risk assessment and comparison of legislation in Benin and South Africa Degree MSc Department Paraclinical Sciences Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof C M E McCrindle Supervisor Keywords
- water pollution
- legislation
- dairy farming systems
- risk assessment
Date 2007-05-13 Availability unrestricted Abstract The purpose of this paper is to study the application of HACCP principles in dairy production systems for mitigation of potential water related hazards by control measures and legislation applicable at farm level. HACCP logical sequence approach including some principles of environmental risk assessment was the method used for the present study (FAO/IDF, 2004;Horchner et al., 2006). Literature review, farms visits, interviews, informal questionnaires and confirmation on site of the gathered information were the prerequisites of the study. Four flow diagrams in SA and three in Benin were drawn to describe the 11 steps relating the activities of the seven types of dairy farming systems recorded altogether in these countries (FAO/IDF, 2004,McCrindle, 2007). From the flow diagrams, almost three groups of 30 potential hazards were identified. Biological, chemical and physical hazards were characterized and their effects described according to the source, pathways, mechanisms, of water pollution. It was noticed that water use during farming activities is linked to the number of animals and is an important factor to qualify the magnitude of the risk of water pollution. Critical Control Points (CCPs) were identified.
In SA, national legislation includes legal prerequisites for commercial dairy farming systems (SA GOVERNMENT 2005, 2006, 2007). Although water resources policies, strategies, legislation and management are strongly established, their implementation does not clearly include dairy by-products. In Benin dairy production strategy and development started in 2000. Basic legislation relating water resources is being updated. In commercial farming systems (F1 and F2 in SA), F7 in Benin, biological and chemical potential hazards are the main threat to water quality. Direct or indirect source of contamination due to manure, feces, urine, chemicals and stock remedies, waste water, occurs through husbandry practices (milking), pasture and housing. In SA, farmers are aware of International dairy standards, norms and practices such as GAP, GMP and GHP even if the practices are not completely respected. HACCP is not well yet well implemented at producer level althougth some commercial dairy processors have started the implementation of the system (FEDICS, 2004, CEBENOR, 2007). Environmental care (CCP11 and CCP12) are the main critical control points recorded which are not mitigated by the national legislation in both countries. In regard to traditional farming systems (F3, F4) and in SA, (F5, F6) in Benin, national legislation does not include prerequisites for biological and physical hazards; these are the main threat of water pollution and are due to direct or indirect contamination through drinking and grazing. Chemical hazards are not important because inputs of stock remedies are low in these systems. Farmers are not aware of International dairy standards, norms and practices such as GAP, GMP and GHP which are fairly respected. HACCP is unknown at producer level. CCPs relating animal treatment and care are partly mitigated by the national legislation. Stock remedies, drugs residues and Pharmaceuticals are controlled in both countries although Benin faces the introduction of uncontrolled veterinary drugs through illegal frontiers. The majority of the CCPs are not completely mitigated by national legislation for traditional dairy farms in both countries.

In modern theater, electric lighting allows a variety of lighting conditions which can be used for dramatic effect. In Shakespeare's time, outdoor theaters such as the Globe used natural light, and indoor theatres such as the Blackfriars used candles. In neither case could the lighting be controlled. As a result, actors had to indicate the level of light in a scene by their movements or with simple props. This exercise in learning how to act in the imagined darkness helps students better understand the challenges facing Shakespeare's actors.
This lesson will take one class period.

2. Place Macbeth and Lady Macbeth on opposite sides of the playing space with the rest of the class divided up into two groups, one on each side of the space. Students on Lady Macbeth's side read her lines, one sentence per student. Students on Macbeth's side read his lines in the same way.
3. As the students read the scene (2.2), have the actors attempt to suit their actions to the words. For example, on line 4 ( "Hark! - Peace") Lady Macbeth could mime hearing a scary noise, then relax, realizing it was an owl. On line 28 ( "This is a sorry sight "), Macbeth could look down at the daggers.
4. After reading the scene, have actors discuss how it felt to be unable to see. Did they feel vulnerable or empowered by the blindfold? Have students discuss essential staging, e.g the moment when Lady Macbeth discovers that Macbeth still has the daggers. How does she know that when she cannot see?
5. Have the class repeat the exercise but have two students read the actors' lines while walking directly behind the blindfolded actors. Discuss how different this was as an experience for the actors.
Optional extension activities include: Have students find scenes which take place in intermittent light and identify those in which the moral darkness of the text is reinforced by the lighting conditions. Or have students suggest props that might be used to remind the audience that it is dark.
By using their bodies, faces and voices to simulate a person groping in the darkness, were the students better able to understand characterization on both the literal and figurative level? Were the students able to appreciate the number of scenes in Macbeth that take place in darkness or limited light and make connections to the moral themes of the play?

BCB statement said a month back it was 200k or so, but these reports say something like 600k... What I don't understand why FICA makes such vague statements...?? BCB also said several times, give us the names... But they never give. In this report also they are exploring one Australan to make the number to be 12... Something is wrong some where. I just feel that FICA is carrying out organized propaganda to damage BPL. why they don't go to the court yet or make a more concrete statement with a list of unpaid players?
The elites Of cricket seems to be jealous of BPL's success... Some how does team may have any genetic connection to Goebles?

The battle between broadcast networks and Aereo is about to become must see TV.
Several networks complained that the Barry Diller-funded streaming service is threatening their bottom lines by retransmitting their signals without permission. The Supreme Court said today it will hear the broadcast networks' case.
For $8 a month, Aereo lets users stream and record over-the-air channels in some cities by using small antennas. This angers the networks. They claim it violates copyright laws and results in theft of their content. The nets are also displeased that they don't get paid retransmission fees similar to what they'd get from cable and satellite companies.
ABC is the lead plaintiff. CBS, Fox, NBC, Univision and PBS are also named as plaintiffs listed in the lawsuit.
Aereo contends that its service is similar to watching television via rabbit ears and isn't breaking any laws.
The case, American Broadcasting Companies v. Aereo Inc., could push Aereo out of business. It's the latest in legal embroilments the company has faced from the networks and is obviously the most significant.
Some broadcast network officials are pleased by the Supreme Court's decision. Dana McClintock, who works in the corporate communications department at CBS tweeted, "We are pleased that our case will be heard and we look forward to having our day in court."
For Aereo's part, CEO Chet Kinoja released a statement saying that his company has "every confidence that the Court will validate and preserve a consumer's right to access local over-the-air television with an individual antenna, make a personal recording with a DVR, and watch that recording on a device of their choice."
It's expected to be deliberated this summer.

The final post on Fanatico.
The final post on Fanatico.
Suggesting that answering media question is linked to leadership is a fabrication on the part of sports media, built to sustain a reporter's own existence and maintain a level of importance.
Misquotes, misattributing and a news story that's completely unnecessary.
A proper appreciation for the context of our complaints grants us an improved perspective, maybe there's some comfort to be gained there, even if it becomes a little more difficult to watch basketball the same way.
Ron MacLean's work as a broadcaster kept us from becoming completely corrupted by the hockey industrial complex.
How real discussions about sportsmanship, spectacle and our own expectations get dissolved in name-calling and stupid disputes over sports.
Tennis is back. Thank the heavens.
How sports writing is more about the writer and less about the fans.
Don't be fooled. The U.S. naming openly gay athletes to its delegation isn't about activism.
Fanatico chats with director Michael Zimbalist about his latest effort in ESPN's 30-for-30 series, Youngstown Boys.
Jameis Winston will not be charged with sexual assault because the evidence that was collected wouldn't result in a reasonable chance of conviction.

I planted two of these 3.5ft tall Pineapple Guava shrub 2 days ago, one on SE side and one on the E (backyard) about 10 ft apart. Both gets more than 8 hours of sunlight per day. However, one of them starts dropping leaves excessively. Now almost 100 in 2 days! The weather had been abnormally cold (40F)then abnormally warm (90F) in the past week. Also the area used to be a lawn so I put some natural sulphur before planting. Is the leaf drop a stress signal or because my soil is clayish at the bottom of the root ball? I used organic matter for the hole, watered adquately but no fertilizer after planting. It is a torture to count the fallen leaves every hour. I hope I'm not losing it because it's such a beautiful shrub! Any help is great appreciately. |

Here in Texas because of the gumbo soil we have to make sure we also dig a drain line into the soil away from the plant so that the water has a place to go besides the plant. This is filled also with the amended soil Because the soil around the plant will hold all the water if you don't create a way for the water to run off it just stays around the roots of the plant. Of course this is a guess as I am unable to check the soil, but this would be my guess. |

Hey, I've been meaning to ask you: Was your friend Drew on the VH1 show Web Junk a couple of weeks ago? I saw him in the preview & I though, that looks just like drew, then he said "My name is Andrew" so I was just wonderin'... :scratchin
Yes, my crazy friend Drew was on that show.
My last bandage came off the incision yesterday. The scar isn't looking too bad right now, but it itches like crazy. But that is a good thing, means it is healing.
The stitches on the inside are still there however, and swallowing is still difficult and sleep doesn't come easy as there is really no comfortable position.
I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers......Thank you so much!! Still need them as I am recovering, still tired, and still taking it easy.
I hope the itching doesn't drive you too batty. I really hope that you can begin to feel comfortable, and get some good rest again. I'm sure that will help you make strides in your recovery.
You haven't left my prayers, and you know you're on my mind too, Scarlett...
That's very good news Lar, although i do hope the itching subsides soon, but as you said, that's a good thing, definitely means that it's healing. And you remember what i told you yesterday, about the scarf;) .
You most definitely are in my thoughts and prayers as you make a speedy recovery, and hope sleep comes easy really soon.
Hope you get back to 100% real soon!!!
Thanks for all the well wishes! You just gotta love DWT!
I am still recovering and my neck hurts greatly at times.
I still get tired very easily, and have to remind myself to take it easy.
Now is the really hard part - figuring out all the bills!!
I have paid off my part of the surgery (after the insurance adjustments).
That is cool, because I called the business office today to ask about my bill and they said if I paid in full, that I would get a 25% discount - oh heck yeah, sign me up!!!
Anyways, again, thanks for all the prayers, the pixie dust, the calls and the messages...it really means a lot when you are recovering from anything.
Lara i really hope you feel better soon and i my family and i pray for you every chance we get. You make DWT a lot more comforting with your rays of sunshine. Please get well soon!
It's awesome to hear that you're on top of your game! Sounds like it all could been alot worse financially.. that is if you were broke and all.. I thanked God over and over for workmans comp picking up my tab. :thumbs: <- 2 thumbs yes!Quote:

The Funds launched Al Rayan in 2007, and through acquisitions and organic growth created a network of 6 schools with over 10,500 registered students, making it the largest educational group in Kuwait offering educational services from kinder garden to high school. In late 2009, the Company went through a restructuring program of its operations which included several organizational and business growth initiatives through the leadership of a team from the Private Equity arm of Global. As a result, between 2009 and 2011, revenues, EBITDA, and operating profits grew at a compounded annual growth rate of 12%, 26% and 73% respectively.
Nasser Al Khaled, Global-appointed Chairman of Al Rayan , has indicated that the firm, in a very short period of time, has become a leader in the education sector in Kuwait and ran successfully schools under multiple systems, including the Kuwaiti National Arabic curriculum, the English National curriculum, the curriculum of the Indian Central Board of Education, and the Pakistani Board of Education. Al Khaled adds: "we are very proud of the fact that we have created a transparent and professionally run organization with proper governance systems and structures in a sector dominated by family run businesses and that we have been successful in creating an extremely capable management team that can continue to grow and take this company forward."
On the exit route taken, Al Khaled noted that "Given the challenging capital market conditions, especially at the Kuwait Stock Exchange, a public listing would not have yielded an attractive exit as a trade sale to a respected and education-focused strategic buyer." Adding, "It was also very important for the fund management team to choose a buyer who shares the same values and is fully capable to continue and build upon the significant work that has already been done in Al Rayan ."
Rajiv Nakani, the Head of Alternative Asset Management at Global Investment House commented on this exit by saying "we are extremely delighted to have completed this exit and provided our investors with the liquidity particularly sought after in this economic environment." He adds: "We have been very successful in creating the largest educational platform in Kuwait and building great value in the firm in the past few years through a very active managerial approach and we believe that it is the right time to hand this Company over to a buyer who will benefit from creating additional value through further strategic synergies." He continued: "our investment in Al Rayan was not only a financial investment but also a social investment where we have placed the foundations for excellent educational entities in Kuwait and we intend to capitalize on our team's experience in this sector to roll out products targeting opportunities in social infrastructure."
With the exit from Al Rayan Holding Company , the Private Equity asset management team at Global Investment House has completed 16 full and partial exits since 2010, making it one of the most active private equity houses in an extremely challenging time for the industry. The private equity funds managed by Global Investment House have returned more than USD 238 million dollars to its investors since 2010, excluding any dividends, mostly through trade sales.-Ends-
