I have had a berry bush bought at yard sale years ago. Well I thought it had died, and now it has come back , (many more ) so I dug them up and planted them together in rows. I need to know what it is and make sure its safe to eat. Grandkids love berries .One of them had a black looking berry on it . I went to get the camera and came back and the berry was gone..so as soon as another one comes up I'll take picture.I have a mulberry tree that harvests very well. Canned jam last year. Iam new to this so please bear with me. I have a half acre and want to plant vegs and fruit . Not sure what to plant and how to get started. Dont know much about the computer either. I joined this forum in 06 I had someone read me off . For my lack of computer knowledge,so I laid off there for awhile.Thank you for any help . |
Follow-Up Postings:
Welcome back! Really can't say anything without a picture, when you get some berries and can take a picture come back and we'll help you post it and get it ID'd (or send you to a forum where you can). If you don't already have one, open a Photobucket account so you can post pictures here. You don't remember if the person who sold you the bush said it was edible? BTW, I love mulberries! Wish we had a tree. My grandma used to make mulberry jam with fruit from a tree at a house my aunt and uncle rented, across the street from my great-grandparents. |
The link below is to several pages of different wild berries. See if you can find one that looks like yours, click on it for more details, name, location, etc. Hope this helps. Dave |
Here is a link that might be useful: wild berry pics
Please note that not all berries are edible - some are highly toxic and can kill you with a nibble -- whether native, local, or imported, purchased or even gifted. Just because someone sold it to you does not mean that it is worth keeping to stew up something you might think is yummy = maybe it is just for show and would poison you. I grow some berries for the birds - they don't die - but I would if I ate them. I grow some berries for their pretty show too - pretty to look at but not edible, tasty, and mostly nor good for you/me. Some of both types are these examples: Chaste Tree, Poke Weed, American or Japanese Beauty Berry, Nightshade, Viburnum, Blackberry Lily. Lots of plants have berries - they don't always have a purpose as food for humans. There are wild berries that are edible but you have to know how to identify them - blackberries, wild strawberries, elderberries, cherries, etc. Someone else has eaten them in the long lost history of civilization and didn't die, so go with the known - don't experiment, please.

Blackhawks top pick Schmaltz can't wait for family feud
The Schmaltz brothers, Nick and Jordan, used to face off in the basement of their Madison, Wis., home, all the while dreaming they would someday do so in the NHL.
With both now officially embarking on paths they hope will eventually lead there, Nick after he was selected by the Blackhawks with the 20th overall selection in the draft Friday night and Jordan after the Blues took him No. 25 in '12, the dream could be a reality.
And it could happen with teams that are quickly becoming bitter rivals.
"It would be pretty fun," Nick Schmaltz said. "Kind of throw it back to the old days when we used to battle in the basement. It would be … a dream come true to play against him. He's a D-man and I'm a forward. I think we have similar styles of game. He's an offensive defenseman with good vision, and I think that's one of my great attributes too."
The Hawks saw plenty of attributes they like in Schmaltz as they moved up in the draft to select the center, who led the Green Bay Gamblers of the USHL in scoring with 18 goals and 45 points in 55 regular-season games this season.
"He's got so much talent," Hawks general manager Stan Bowman said. "When you're drafting where we're drafting, you're trying to get guys who have a high talent level. Nick has incredible skills. Offensively, he's one of the most talented kids in the draft."
Schmaltz will join his brother at the University of North Dakota while developing his game and said he is prepared to remain there all four years before taking his next step toward the NHL.
"(Nick) just needs to be given some time to mature and physically get stronger, but his potential is great," Bowman said. "We were really attracted to the overall package that he has in terms of his feet and his hands and his playmaking ability. And he can score as well. You look at the potential there and give him some time to develop and kind of grow into a professional. We're really excited."
As is the 18-year-old Schmaltz, who was a Hawks fan growing up and lists Patrick Kane as his favorite NHL player.
"That's what I wanted the whole year," he said. "I dreamed of being a Blackhawk, so I couldn't be happier. This is obviously a huge honor, but now the work starts."
Schmaltz is a product of the Chicago Mission, an AAA youth program. That meant plenty of time spent on the highway between Madison and Chicago.
"Two times a week for practice and one time on weekends for games," Schmaltz said. "Two-and-a-half hours each way, five hours of driving a night. I couldn't thank my parents enough."
That parental involvement has kept Schmaltz grounded, a character trait the Hawks found appealing during the interview process.
"You have to be a great kid off the ice as well, because those guys really help the locker room and the team," Schmaltz said. "It's just better if the guys are close and they're nice and they're team-first kind of guys. That's who I am and I think they like that about me."

I'm giving Sophomore the silent treatment. She hasn't noticed. But I watched her ride for a good half hour, also without her noticing. She's beautiful on a horse, they look like they were born together. Seamless. I miss the way she used to be, before she started getting freaked out by me, by the idea of me, by the idea of me and her. I feel like such crap.
That's so straight. No, seriously.
silent treatment never works. it shows u whether the person cares or not. if they talk to u, they care that u arent talking to them. if they dont talk to u. than just go bout life. and that was funny. "the horse and her looked like they were born together"
Life is easily complicated.

So by now we all know the story behind Shirley Sherrod and her resignation. We also know that many sides as presented in news stories, blogs and by Sherrod herself. I understand that this a controversial issue and that people that are passionate on either side of the debate should push for justice. However, traditional "unbiased" new sources should not be advocates. They shouldn't be reporting and harping, in essence, on the same event. The only time that this is acceptable is when there is new information. However, during the course of this controversy, new information or not, they must report. Good grief. CNN has done a pretty good job, allowing Sherrod and others to speak on the issue. Fox News, however, is terrible. Why bother bringing anyone on to your program with a different opinion or point of view if you plan to attack them? What a mess. However, I did enjoy that Sherrod declined Megyn Kelly's offer. What a hoot!! And Kelly was so gracious too.
So today I have a lot of information to share and a heavy critique on Fox News. Be prepared.
Last Thursday Megyn Kelly and Bill O'Reilly joined forces to criticize the Drug Policy Alliance. The goal of the Drug Policy Alliance is to end the war on drugs, according to their website. Now I am not saying that I agree or disagree with the Alliance's mission, but I do want to state that the Fox News coverage of the Alliance is overtly biased and deplorable.
The first 3 minutes of this video consist of both Kelly and O'Reilly openly bashing the Alliance and those associated with it. Famous recording artist, Sting, faced the brunt of this criticism. O'Reilly mocks Sting on several occassions adding,
"No, he wants to get stoned. He's going to get stoned."
Making the assumption that Sting is involved with this organization so he can freely abuse drugs.
Kelly adds her personal opinion of Sting in this dialogue as well.
"There sits in the ivory tower. He's not even an American, first of all. Save your opinions on our domestic policy for, you know, your own domestic policy. And you know, when he's not working on a tantric sex, apparently, he's thinking about America drug policy, and you know, he doesn't."
How do his nationality and personal sexual preferences affect his role in the Drug Policy Alliance? These are irrelvent pieces of information, factual or not, that have no direct connection to this cause.
Kelly then spoke with John Stossel, also of Fox News, about this issue. The segment was entitled "Celebs and Wealthy Liberal Activisits Launch Campaign to End War on Drugs", making the assumption that all "celebrities" and "wealty liberals" are involved with the Drug Policy Alliance.
Kelly was very argumentative with her co-worker. In addition, she made more comments about Sting and his substance abuse without naming any of her "sources."
I was honestly proud of Stossel, providing ample data about the war on drugs. He spent most of the time logically defending his position and expanding on the idea that "[the war on drugs] creates crime." I used to watch Stossel on 20/20 when I was younger and was greatly disappointed when I found out he was moving to Fox. After watching this segment with Kelly I am beyond relieved. However I may be slightly biased in this way. At this point I just wanted someone to shut Kelly up.
While bias was clearly an issue in these segments, I am more concerned about the personal and irrelevant attacks made on those who are involved with the Drug Policy Alliance.
Journalism at its worst.
The Berkman Center for Internet & Societ at Harvard launched a new system/application in March that follows media trends. Media Cloud takes articles–each day–from an astounding amount of news media and blogs and stores the information in a database. Users can then visit the Media Cloud website and chart this data. While this is not a finished product, it is an interesting and innovative way to study media. Journalists, communication researchers, news enthusiasts and average Joes are able to explore media trends easily without having to actually gather the data. The Berkman Center has done this for us, taking out a time-consumng step and allowing us to focus on the content. This is valuable because we can, in turn, improve the quality of journalism. Hopefully, ethics committees and news media will utilize Media Cloud to optimize journalism.
I encourage you to check out Media Cloud yourself, but below is some interesting information.
CNN: United States, Washington, California
Fox News: New York, Florida, Texas
MSNBC: Afghanistan, Taliban, Mexico
The New York Times: United States, Washington, California
The Washington Post: Virginia, United States, New York
The Wall Street Journal: New York, China, Washington
I find it interesting that CNN and The New York Times (both considerably left-sided) had identical Top 3.
I ended up on Fox News and found an article about former President Clinton. As you may already know, last summer, Clinton offered Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Sestak an executive branch position if he abandoned his primary challenge against Sen. Arlen Specter. The article was a hate-fest against Clinton beginning with the phrase,
"Like an aging sports star who can't stay away from the game…"
Very professional Fox News. The article went on to compare Clinton and the Sestak controversy to Nixon and Watergate. Is this truly comparable? And now for my favorite quote from the article,
"But perhaps the biggest indicator that Clinton is seeking to add to his political legacy is his efforts in recent months to help Democrats avoid the failings of his presidency."
Was this article anything but rantings against Clinton?
"The Most Trusted Name is News"
"Fair and Balanced"
Can we believe these tag lines and the many others speaking to the credibility of a news organization?
Most of us realize that in journalism, as in life, bias is our foe. Bias clouds judgment and challenges the integrity of writing. But with that said, bias is difficult to avoid, it is part of our human nature. Therefore, as readers we must look beyond the right-wing and left-wing agendas presented in the news and do some exploring of our own. We must learn when to delve deeper into the writings or videos that we are given and we must also learn when to take this information with a grain of salt. My goal is to help open your eyes to the bias in modern news and media so you too can explore this further. I urge you to read and understand the negative influence bias has on our world views.

Sony gave DCR a chance to test the new a55 last week in Jackson Hole, and we grabbed the opportunity by the horns. From fast-paced shooting at the rodeo to panorama sweeps in Yellowstone, we gave the a55 a trial run in some of the country's most spectacular scenery.
There's some interesting new technology going on inside the a55, but from the outside it looks very similar to any other alpha DSLR. The mode dial sits on one shoulder with the shutter button angled slightly forward on the other. There's a dedicated LCD/EVF button behind it and a D-Range button for quick access to the camera's Auto HDR shooting options.
The control layout on the back panel is simple and very intuitive. Pressing the Fn button calls up an array of exposure options on screen. Using the directional pad, changes can be made to ISO, white balance, Creative Style, and a number of other controls depending on which shooting mode you're in. I found it easy to use.
The a55 is noticeably compact, though it doesn't rival the size of the Samsung NX10 and doesn't come close to touching the diminutive NEX cameras. If it's a small interchangeable lens camera you want, Sony already has that covered. The a55 seems to hold the middle ground between a CILC (Compact Interchangeable Lens Camera) and your typical alpha DSLR.
The weight of the camera body has also been reduced, though the Sony G series lenses I used with the camera are by no means light. With a smaller prime lens, I noticed that the whole system was a bit lighter than a DSLR, but with a 70-300mm lens attached, it handled much like a full-sized DSLR to me. Take a look at our hands on preview video below.
Sony would prefer us not to post full-res sample images from the pre-production models we used, so we've resized the images for web-friendly viewing. They were captured as fine JPEGs haven't undergone any processing other than resizing.
It seems to me that speed is going to be the key attraction of the a55. I put the camera's continuous shooting mode to work at Jackson Hole's rodeo and it performed admirably. In just about every frame I shot of a rider on a bucking bull, my subject was in focus. All I needed to do was keep my finger on the shutter and keep my lens pointed in the right direction.
Sony's press materials refer to the camera's ability to capture "the decisive moment." After a few days shooting with the a55, I would tend to agree. The a55's ability to maintain focus during high-speed capture will give a photographer a lot of usable images, before, after and during the decisive moment, whenever that might be.
One of the drawbacks of the system's speed and focusing efficiency seems to be quicker battery drain. Sony claims 380 shots with the EVF per fully charged battery and 330 with use of the LCD. Our batteries lasted us a day or so (Sony wisely packed an extra fully-charged battery for each journalist on our trip) before it needed to be recharged. A serious shooter will definitely want an extra battery for day-long excursions since recharging the battery to full capacity took about eight hours.
Let's face it - some of us just aren't EVF fans. I found the a55's viewfinder to be bright and clear, but that feature will be a turn off for some customers. The tilting LCD came in handy whenever a situation called for ground or waist-level composition. Like any other LCD though, it was difficult to use in direct sunlight. In addition to the dedicated controls, the viewfinder has a sensor that will automatically turn it on and switch from LCD mode when you bring the camera up to your eye.
The camera's metering system did a nice job of preserving detail in shadow areas without losing the highlight detail in the horse's mane.
In terms of color reproduction, reds were often vivid and greens loooked slightly saturated. In good light with fast shutter speeds, I was very happy with image sharpness. The Sony G lenses I used with the a55 supported the fast AF system with good sharpness at the center of the frame.
I also used the Sweep Panorama mode (in two dimensions) and was impressed with the results, as always. It's a truly seamless function and the results are stunning.
There's only so much analysis that can be done based on our preliminary shooting experiences. I am, however, convinced that the Sony alpha a55 is an exceptionally fast camera. Shutter lag seemed non-existant, and aside from waiting for the buffer to clear, the camera was ready to focus and shoot whenever I was. There's a lot more testing and field work we'll need to do to reach a conclusion about the a55, but for now it seems to be a straight shooter.
Take a look at the image gallery for additional sample images.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Better than the series,
This review is from: Gone (Hardcover)
Gone continues a story that spans, now, three novels, and it's much better than the other two (and, fortunately, you don't need them to read it).
Ritual and Skin, along with Pig Island, demonstrate that Mo Hayder is not a very consistent writer. It's hard to believe that the author of Birdman and The Devil of Nanking could have written a book as bad as Pig Island, but there it is. When Hayder is too fixated on what Stephen King calls "the gross out" (and identifies as the last resort of a good horror writer) to devote attention to consistency and coherence, her books are tiresome and embarrassing. However, when she is good, she is very, very good. Gone comes closer to good than gross-out. Although it proceeds directly from the last page of Ritual, you don't need to know how Flea Marley ended up with something very unfortunate in her trunk, and Jack Caffrey's apparently permanent miseries do not require entire novels of backstory. Their pursuit of a kidnapper of little girls is a page-turner, and the criminal is about as revolting as most of us can imagine (except for an odd twist at the end). Flea's adventure in the tunnel seems to take up half the book, and the pages turn quickly. I have quibbles -- It's a bit of cheat (you'll see what I mean) that we don't learn the mechanices of how someone gets impaled on a spike, and there is a bit of Hayder's trademark piling on in what happens to Flea (if you think YOU had a bad day...). As with so many of Hayder's books, the weakest link is the conclusion. She is brilliant at getting into fixes, but vague about getting out again. I read all this, and I wonder why I bothered to give the book four stars. In part because my expectations were so low, after the disappointments of Skin and Ritual and the simple revulsion over Pig Island (there are very few books I wish I had not read; Pig Island tops the list). In part because Hayder is peddling a mixture of pace and theme at appeals to me, when she is on her game. And here, she is.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not up to her usual standard,
By Rod Govers (Australia) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gone: Jack Caffery series 5 (Kindle Edition)
I'm a big fan of Mo Hayder and couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. I broke my rule on the maximum I would pay for an ebook prices and handed over the $14.51 for it. Now I wish I had waited. It was just an average police procedural and certainly a let down after her previous books. What happened to her use of the macabre which was the main feature of previous books?
There was no real tension in the book as it was easy to see the twist early on. The Flea Marley character was annoying and well past her use-by date. I hope Hayder's next book is better. I would hate to think she's already reached the peak of her writing career.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A tense thriller that will surprise you to the very end,
By Bookreporter (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gone (Hardcover)
Mo Hayder is arguably better known as an author of top-shelf mysteries in her native Great Britain than in the United States. I predict this is about to change. GONE, her latest novel published in America, is one of those books that dares you to put it down once you've started reading and then challenges you to forget it once you have finished.
GONE begins six months after the events of SKIN and is considered to be the third in the Walking Man series. British PI Jack Caffrey and police diver Phoebe "Flea" Marley are prominently featured, with both parties concealing different viewpoints of the same secret, to the detriment of what had been the beginnings of a relationship. Hayder does a wonderful job of bringing new readers up to date while refreshing the memories of those familiar with the series. He pulls this off without missing a step in advancing the story, which is terrifying from the start. The source of the terror is a masked criminal who carjacks a vehicle with an 11-year-old girl in the back seat. At first the kidnapping is thought to be accidental, but then Marley manages to connect the latest incident to two previous cases with startling similarities. Another child is soon abducted during another carjacking, yet is returned shortly thereafter. When the incidents turn even more bizarre, Caffrey and his team are at a loss. Someone is making a fool of the police inspectors, while young, innocent lives hang in the balance. You've heard of a plot device called "the ticking clock"; GONE feels as if it has a houseful of them, all ready to chime the fateful hour in seconds, as Caffrey and his team are all too well aware that from a statistical standpoint their odds of finding a kidnap victim alive diminish dramatically after 24 hours. Then, at the height of the investigation, Marley goes missing after following up a lead on her own. Caffrey turns to the enigmatic Walking Man --- a person horribly disturbed by tragedy, brilliant by nature and homeless by choice --- and learns more than he asks for, even as lives hang in the balance. And Hayder isn't content to make this an edge-of-the-seat mystery. Everyone who walks through the pages of GONE is at least a little bit whacked --- from the police investigators to the victimized parents, the doctors on the scene, and, most of all, Caffrey and Marley, each in their own ways. The only way you can read GONE without having every nerve in your body jumping and screaming is if you are not paying attention. I will tell you from experience that if you have children in your home, you will be sorely tempted to sleep in front of their bedroom doors at night, like the Orwellian guardians who stand ready to defend those who would harm the innocent. Hayder is a storyteller par excellence, the compendium of the camp counselors who scared the living stuffing out of their charges around the campfire while strange and frightening noises issued from the dark. Even if you think you've figured things out after the first third of the book, you haven't figured it all out. And Hayder, bless her, continues to drop charges into the water until practically the last paragraph. If you have read her previous works, you know what I'm talking about. If you're new to her craftsmanship, read GONE and be enthralled. Strongly recommended. --- Reviewed by Joe Hartlaub

Exceptional Police Thriller,

This review is from: Gone (Hardcover)
Gone, by Mo Hayder, is the fifth book in a series featuring Bristol DI Jack Cafferty, and the first of hers I read. Despite four books of back story, I felt no lack or loss for jumping in at the wrong end, as Hayder gave just enough relevant information to offer a bit of depth and context without flogging a reader with past events.
This book is a harrowing journey down a swift river, and there were several times I got off the ride only to jump back on as soon as I could. Hayder's villain is given a slow reveal, crafted of skillful slight-of-hand and an accumulation of small tells. The danger is real and ever-present, and she never, ever gives you a guarantee of who is going to make it home at the end of the day. Gone hooked me so thoroughly that I immediately started on Hayder's first book in the series, Birdman. Comparing the two shows just how far Hayder has come as a writer, and effortless her prose seems to be. I plunged through Gone because I felt I must. Not knowing was unthinkable. If you like police procedurals and thrillers, British or otherwise, read Gone. But make sure you have an open weekend to do so, because you won't want to put it down.

This review is from: Gone (Jack Caffery) (Kindle Edition)
I read the first two in the series, Birdman and The Treatment. I thought The Treatment ventured into territory that can only be described as cruelty (involving children, which made it worse), but I decided to give this one a shot because of the reviews. I stopped about 50 pages toward the end. I probably would've stuck with it had it not been for the Flea elements, which I thought were simply unreadable. Like another reviewer mentioned, I couldn't even tell what was going on, based on the author's descriptions and narrative. The book just came to a screeching halt whenever the narrative switched to that storyline. There are too many far superior crime novelists today for me to spend any more time or money on Ms. Hayder.

Not Her Best,
By Nicola Mansfield (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: GONE (Jack Caffrey #5) (Hardcover)
Reason for Reading: Mo Hayder ... new book ... nothing more to say.
This is an all-nighter police procedural that has Jack Caffery on the case of a supposed carjacker who takes a car with a girl in the back seat. The girl is not found and the realization is made that he didn't want the car but the girl. Then it happens again. Another car, another girl, this time much younger. With statistics showing that child abductors kill their victims sooner than later, the team is on a race against time. Flea comes to Caffery and tells him about two previous unsuccessful attempts that are identical and this helps the team start to put together a case. Separately, the book focuses of Flea, as an individual and how the events from the previous book "Skin" have affected her emotionally and on the job as she tries to put herself together but she also notices Jack's complete change in manner towards her. The story is clever. There are turns that move the plot in different directions but guessing the identity of the culprit wasn't exactly hard, though Hayder does keep you with a tiny seed of doubt until the final reveal. A thoroughly enjoyable police procedural. But also very much tied to previous books, especially "Skin", so should not be read out of order or at least not before "Skin", since Skin's whole shocker is outed in "Gone". Why do I give the book a rating of three if it's a clever, enjoyable police procedural? Because when I read Mo Hayder I am expecting a whole lot more than enjoyable. I have read all her books and am a huge fan. Words I usually use to describe her books are gruesome, disturbing, weird, roller-coaster ride, heart-thumping, breath-holding, twists and turns, a shocker! This book had none of those elements, aside from a few turns (only turns, no twists) and I was disappointed. Her books The Treatment and The Devil of Nanking have made me hold Hayder above other thriller writers and this one felt more like one of the crowd. Don't get me wrong, it's good and kept me up into the wee hours but I wasn't satisfied that I'd read a Mo Hayder. Not her best, by far. Another thing that got to me was what was with the happy-happy ending, Hayder's books do not have happy endings. Perhaps this is a sign that the Jack Caffery series is over.

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gone (Hardcover)
So I bought this book with no prior knowledge of the author and I went by the description and the existing reviews and I have to say I was disappointed. It just didn't deem like there was any real tension or drama in the book at all. I was not a fan of Flea and I felt like something was missing in a book that was about a series of kidnappings, you know? There should have been action and I, as the reader, should have felt invested in the characters, but instead I just felt vaguely bored and a growing discontent with the story as it progressed because it seemed to lack a real crescendo. I mean this is an author that has previously gotten rave reviews and I just wasn't happy with this book and I was disappointed with the plot development as well as the characters, but maybe that's just me.

Someone Is Stealing Children,
This review is from: Gone (Hardcover)
Bristol, UK, is in the southwest of England. Jack Caffery is a senior member of Bristol's elite major crimes investigation unit, and one of the best according to the men and women who work for him. This is the fifth book in a series featuring Det. Caffery by Mo Hayder. I have not read the other four, but this novel can stand on its own.
A car jacking, while a mom was putting her groceries in the boot of the car. She was abruptly pushed aside by a man in a Santa Claus mask, who opened the driver's side door and sped away. The problem, her daughter was in the back seat! Det. Caffery is trying to convince himself that this will end with the child found very quickly. However, one of his colleagues in the head of the Avon and Somerset underwater search unit, Sergeant Flea Marley, tells him that this is the third such car/child jacking. She had reported the first two as a sequence to her superior who had not much interest in the cases. Caffery knows in cases like this that the longer the child is missing, the more negative the outcome. The carjacker starts taunting the police. Then another car/child jacking occurs, and it becomes clear that this criminal is very clever and is way ahead of the police at every step. Sergeant Flea Marley has the kind of energy we can only dream about. She runs miles to work off that energy. And, to top it all off, she loves danger. She has a gut feeling she knows where the kidnapper may be, and she goes to that area to hunt for herself. This person may know where she is and may very well know the secret she carries with her. This novel shows how well researched the author is as she went into the world of police work and diving specialties. The characters are so well drawn out and intelligent. She give us insight into the world of these parents who have lost their children and don't know whether they are dead or alive. One of these characters, is Walking Man, a man of wealth who has given up his business to walk the UK, in search of the killer of his daughter. He walks the earth, camps at night and Caffery has befriended him. Their conversations give us insight into each of their characters. The Walking Man, however, for me, does not seem to fit into this realistic world of crime. I was able to guess the kidnapper not too far into the book, but it did not destroy the tale. The writing and characterization kept me engrossed until the final paragraph. Recommended. prisrob 02-16-11 Birdman The Treatment

Gripping read,

This book was terrific, I couldn't put it down..!! It was a story full of twists and turns and quite scary in places. Mo Hayder writes with a good flow and style and the story keeps you wanting to read on and on. Her detective Jack Caffery is the lead player and murder and kidnap are on the menu.

Cruise Deals, Information and Cruise Updates
Author: jwyndrum
20 Jul 2012
So you have booked your cruise and are looking forward to a well deserved vacation. You have started to think about what to pack. In addition to packing there are a number of things that you should think about before you leave. Here are a few items that you make sure are on your checklist to make your trip stress-free.
Mark your final payment date on your calendar and make sure you give yourself a little buffer. Unexpected things can happen so don't wait until the last day to call in you payment. If a ship is fully booked and you miss your final payment date the cruise line has the right to cancel your booking and make your deposit non-refundable.
Make sure that you purchase you insurance in advance. Insurance is important especially if you have elderly family members or young children. Usually if you purchase insurance within a week of your deposit you will be covered for pre-existing conditions.
Book your shore excursions in advance. Many excursions, especially those with limited capacity, sell out early. You can book excursions either with the cruise line or with your travel agent. Your travel agent can often offer private excursions or excursions with smaller groups often at a lower rate.
Check to make sure that all of your travel documents (passport, visa, etc) are in order long before you depart. Check to make sure that your passport is valid and that all of the names accurately match the names on your reservations. Getting a passport renewed can take up to 90 days or more. Arriving at the pier without a valid passport or with a passport that does not match the name on your cruise documents can result in denied boarding without a refund.
Make sure that you receive a confirmation for your cruise and carefully read the dates, ship and sail date, category and cabin and the names on the confirmation. If there is a discrepancy, contact your travel agent as soon as possible. Making changes can be costly especially as you get closer to your departure date.
If you plan on using your cell phone while you are away you can save money by contacting your cell phone carrier to see what types of calling and data plans are available.
Make sure that you confirm arrangements to get to/from the pier or airport in advance.
If you are leaving the kids at home make sure that you arrange for child care in advance.
Don't forget your furry friends. As you get closer to your departure date make sure to arrange to have someone take care of your pets and your house if necessary.
All cruise lines now require guests to check-in on line in advance. You can normally complete the online check-in once your deposit is paid.
Fine dining and relaxing spa days are one of the highlights of a cruise. Dinner reservations and spa treatments can be booked in advance after completing your pre-cruise registration. Dinner reservations and spa appointments can get booked up before the cruise even departs.
Make sure that you contact your doctor or pharmacist to fill any prescriptions that you might need. It is also important to travel with a copy of your prescription with you when you travel and to keep your prescriptions in your carry on bag.
It is important that you let people know how to get in touch with you in an emergency. When you receive your cruise documents they will include an emergency contact phone number where they can reach you on the ship.
Purchasing batteries on the ship or in port is more expensive than purchasing them at your local pharmacy or grocery store. So, make a list and stock up before you leave.
Nothing is worse than going for that incredible photo to find that you are out of disk space. Memory cards are pretty inexpensive now so make sure you have a back up that you can quickly swap out.
If you are planning to use a credit or debit card call your bank before you leave and let them know what countries you will be visiting. Many credit card companies will decline your transaction if you are making purchasing outside of your normal purchasing pattern. A simple phone call before you leave can avoid that inconvenience.
Get cash ahead of time. While you won't need cash on board the ship you may need some cash in ports for purchases, taxis and incidentals. Remember you can use your debit card when traveling so you won't need take huge amounts of cash with you.
Get ready for your cruise and pack your bags! A little bit of preparation and planning before you leave can make your cruise experience relaxed and enjoyable without any surprises. Bon voyage!

Café San Miguel
Dallas, TX, 75206, United States
Café San Miguel is an upscale, new-style Mexican restaurant that offers authentic fare and homemade staples like corn tortillas, chips, and salsas. Wooden tables and bright yellow and orange hues set the atmosphere, and outdoor seating is available. Lunch crowds enjoy the fish tacos and tortas, but specialties like the pan-seared red snapper served on a bed of rice and covered in a tomatillo-avocado wine sauce don't appear until dinner time. The Pomerita is Café San Miguel's signature drink; however, many patrons find it too sweet and choose a margarita instead.
Insider Tip:
Although Café San Miguel's Lower Greenville location at the corner of North Henderson and McMillan is easy to find, parking can be difficult on the weekends, so patrons should consider taking a cab.

How the Haitian tragedy is impacting pregnant women
Emanise Joseph and her month-old son Emerson
(Source: Carin Wint for UNFPA)
It should be obvious to everyone by now that children are suffering the most in the current earthquake disaster in Haiti. But one section of the population is facing a special set of challenges: some 63,000 pregnant women who are among the approximately three million persons impacted by the tragedy so far.
According to UN reports, the 7.0 magnitude earthquake has largely wiped out prenatal care in large portions of a country that had little of it to begin with. Haiti already had the Western Hemisphere's highest infant mortality rate, with 671 out of 100,000 women dying in childbirth, and that was before the earthquake struck. 7,000 Haitian women are expected to give birth in the coming month, and 15 percent of them are likely to suffer from potentially fatal complications. The earthquake has not only destroyed several hospitals specializing in obstetric care, it has also destroyed one of the country's three nursing schools and has also eliminated Haiti's only midwifery school, which had been turning out an average of thirty-five qualified midwives each year.
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is rushing aid to Haitian women, supplying eighteen safe delivery and reproductive health kits to the country's surviving hospitals, various health-related NGOs, and mobile clinics. These supplies, which had already been in storage in Port-au-Prince in a warehouse that withstood the earthquake, should supply the needs of 150,000 women for the next three months. The kits contain medicines, supplies, and equipment for sterile deliveries and obstetric emergencies, post-rape care, treatment of complications from unsafe abortions, sexually transmitted infections, and other reproductive health-related issues.
The UNFPA is also distributing 20,000 "dignity kits," which include sanitary napkins, diapers, anti-bacterial soap, and other hygiene and cleaning supplies "that allow women to live with dignity and tend to their children even amidst the worst circumstances."
But as things are now, Haiti needs much more than outside aid deliveries. Not only is its infrastructure in ruins, its government is in severe disarray and is scarcely in a position to provide basic services. Haiti's Ministry of Women was in a meeting with its UNFPA development partners when the earthquake struck the capital. Almost everyone present was killed or injured. According to Tania Patriota, UNFPA Representative for Haiti, "We lost 90 per cent of our partners in the Ministry ... when its building collapsed."
For now, doctors are making do with whatever they have, and have even been reduced to performing C-sections on park benches. The women's situation is bound to improve as outside aid keeps arriving. However, Haitian women can only hope that the measures currently being undertaken to improve overall healthcare for women will continue long after the news cameras are gone. The UNFPA has already been on the ground working with Haitian women for thirty years. Isn't it about time Haiti was helped into a position where it can provide these essential supplies and services for its own people?

Fight Or Flight: How To Overcome Your Fear Of Approaching Women
Good-bye to Guilt is an esteem and image enhancer. The author comes from the heart and I personally feel it is the "truth." Giving is the same as receiving. Guilt is ego-based and destructive. His perceptions hit home: we only act out of two emotions -- love or fear. I also like the daily lessons so that one can put into practice the principles Mr. Jampolsky so eloquently shares throughout his book. I have personally benefited from the lessons presented in the book and have shared it with many others. I buy copies of this book and give them away to those who I feel are open-minded and willing to try something different.The book offers a way to release your fears by forgiving all, including the world. This is so simple that most cannot or will not get it. The practice of forgiveness is written in a way that nearly all who can read will be able to apply this simple, but difficult principle.

Most of us, if not all of us have an "identity" problem. We say we know who we are, but do we? Most of us tend to identify ourselves with our physicality. The way we look to the outside world. We identify ourselves by our personalities, our behaviors, our actions, our inactions. But all of these things are not who we really are.
So who are we, then?
We are Spirit. We are Love. We are the stuff of God. Our personalities and our behaviors are all manufactured B.S.

You were not born out of original sin...if there is anything "original" about sin...but you were born out of Original Innocence and no matter what you may have thought, or felt, or said, or did, or didn't do NOTHING can mar the beauty that you were created in and out of.

The title is misleading and makes people not want to read it. When I read it I didn't find it to be about guilt per se. It was just a very spiritual book that awoke in me so much. I went on to read more books by this author and A Course in Miracles. I also found it helped me understand concepts about life, answered questions and unleashed my faith in God. I highly recommend it. It's easy to read.

In the office, we have a long, elbow-high file cabinet near the copy editing desk that is fondly known as "OBF," which is an acronym for "Over by Fred." Fred is Fred Wilkinson, our managing editor.
When office treats are brought in by various editors or writers(thanks Amelia!), the point of distribution is OBF, on top of the black cabinet near the copy desk. "Chocolate cake OBF," for example, might be the subject line of a welcome office email.
While we are treated by produce marketers with the occasional wonderful box of apples or cherries at the start of a season or during the holidays, the typical "OBF" treat is high calorie, not high nutrition.
Changing the food environment won't be easy. If given the choice between carrot sticks and cupcakes on the treat table, I still might choose cupcakes.
I know that makes me a terrible person. I'll try to reform- along with the rest of you.

This pair of lamps. What are your thoughts about era? What would you expect them to fetch at auction?
Would you electrify these (in some non-destructive way like French-wiring?) if you lived in a 19th c. house? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not sure what they burn....nor what the material of the lamp is...nor big they are....nor if the burners are functional. All those things would color my thoughts. Linda c |

Great lamps! Were they originally gas & what are they made of? Do they have a place for a gas hose or did they use an earlier energy source? Pot metal was used for many earlier gas fixtures (at least in the US) until they became popular & brass became the the standard - or maybe it was just an economic choice. The hanging hall fixture in my 1858 house was pot metal but the gas arms mounted on the walls were brass. I have a book at home about gas lighting & I'll check it tonight for something similar. What is 'French wiring'? Sorry, but I can't help you with auction value although since I would like to have them, the price will automatically jump to sky high, LOL! |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Fri, Jan 14, 11 at 11:04
They are Argands, I know that by the higher reservoir,and looking at pictures-- they burnt oil, (maybe even whale oil at first?) I think they are about 16" high. French Wiring is where the wiring goes to the socket but is not routed through the lamp, so no drilling through original material, The wiring shows but this can be kinda interesting. |
- Posted by antiquesilver (My Page) on Fri, Jan 14, 11 at 11:43
Interesting about the French Wiring - I once electrified an old ship's light like that but never knew it had a name. |
I have my great grandmother's oil lamps that I have "French wired"....didn't know there was a word for it. You still have nots aid what the lamps are made of....I will assume brass. Do you have the shades? Or can you find suitable shades? If I could find suitable globes I would definietly do a non destructive wiring and use them. They most likely date from the early years of the 19th century....can we say maybe 1820? Great lamps! Linda C |
- Posted by antiquesilver (My Page) on Fri, Jan 14, 11 at 12:52
Check this out. They've been electrified but seem similar although I haven't looked at them side-by-side. |
Here is a link that might be useful: A similar? pair

On an enlarged photo, they're not as nice looking as yours. Sorry. |

I think the ones you posted are pretty handsome. Well, I got my answer re: what they would fetch at auction. They went for $1100. I was hoping for less since they were at a Modernist auction. :( |
$1100 the pair?? Sounds like a good deal to me |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Sat, Jan 15, 11 at 10:42
I am sure it was a good deal, but these were in a no reserve auction at a Modernist Auction house, who had estimated them low. I had some idea what the ones with shades went for, and I wondered if that was the difference. I was just hoping these had the wrong audience. The few other early period lots went for well under estimate, while the Modernist pieces sold well. The other thing I was interested in, a Womb Chair, went over estimate. It unfortunately (for me) commanded the 5th highest price for a single piece of furniture in the auction. What made you change your mind Linda? You wouldn't venture an opinion at all before, why do they seem like a good deal now? :) |
Because I spent some time looking around the web seeing what similar lamps sold for.;-D They likely should have brought 3 times that amount....unless there was some "issue" with them that wasn't noted. And at the time of my first post I didn't know what kind of a burner they had...aladdin type, whale oil, gas or argon. But, I guess I should have had a hint from the font. Very nice lamps....I can see them on either of a hunt board. |

I have to say that this week was my hardest yet. There were more opportunities than usually available to cheat. Someone brought something in to our class and I had two friends ask me to go to breakfast with them. I think the only worries I have is that these things are normal. Once I have hit my ideal goal I think it's ok to cheat a little but to snap yourself right back on track. But I really feel that cheating during the first few weeks can be a detriment.
Yes I am beating myself up because I did have the cinnamon roll at class. It was bad for me but it was good. I think I was able to compensate for it a little bit by just sticking to the diet strickly for the remainer of the week. I also did get three good workouts in. But in my mind I knew it was wrong.
One of the things I am working on as I work on this diet is to not feel I'm bad for a slip up along the way. I was able to drink my water each day (yay me!) which is something that I probably wouldn't have done/have done with any other diet. My favorite meal this week was the sloppy joe. I put it on a piece of wheat bread and it was so good. I thought that it might taste a little bland but it had tons of flavor. Yum. I will definitely add it to my list for next month.
My favorite breakfast was the Sweentened O's cereal which reminded me of Cheerios. My favorite dessert this week was the Thin Mint Crisp Bar. I like anything mint so when you add chocolate and mint together I'm in!!! I only lost one pound this week I think next week will be a bigger loss to make up for it.
Nutrisystem is sponsoring me for the next three months. I will be blogging, Facebooking and Twittering my progress on a weekly basis.

UF women's basketball team having fun as it rolls through successful season
By BRIAN LESTER
TIFFIN — Kate Cummings was drenched as she emerged from the locker room of the University of Findlay women's basketball team late Saturday afternoon at the Gilmor Center.
Her players had just emptied their water bottles on her to recognize her 100th win as the head coach the Oilers.
Findlay nailed down that milestone win with a 62-44 victory over Tiffin, stretching its win streak to six games and staying on track for not only the second seed in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference tournament, but perhaps the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional as well.
The Oilers are having a season to remember and a lot of credit goes to Cummings for putting this team in a position to be successful.
A year ago, Findlay finished 15-12 and was knocked out of the conference tournament in the opening round.
The Oilers have played much more determined this season, focused on being a top-tier team in the conference and punching a ticket to the NCAA tournament for the second time in program history.
They already have 17 wins and while they do have room for improvement, the important thing for the Oilers is that they are willing to work to get better week in and week out.
Complacency is not an issue with this team. Sure, the Oilers are happy with what they have accomplished to this point, but they are hungry for so much more.
Perhaps the most notable thing about this Findlay team is something that doesn't show up in a box score.
It's called fun. You can tell the players are having a lot of fun being teammates and going through this journey together.
So while Cummings had no idea she had reached the 100-win mark on Saturday, her players did. They had fun with the moment and that doesn't come as a surprise at all.

Re: compression
Data in HBase is compressed upon compaction/flushes (i.e. upon creation of the storefiles). Hence the compression is also done over blocks of data (akin to SequenceFiles) and is efficient. The memstore isn't kept compressed nor is the WAL. RPCs in Apache HBase aren't compressed yet, but https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5355 tracks it if you want to take a look. HLog (WAL) compression is also available now, via https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4608 (Its in 0.94) On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 4:26 PM, Rita <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How is data compressed in hbase?

Review of: THE SURVIVAL INSTINCT
reviewed by
on 10/04/2004
Credited Review
Pretty good war story
I enjoyed this a great deal. It was a very fast read, and I only have a few very minor quibbles with it. The first one is Eileen's name, it reminds me too much of Lousia May Alcott from Little women, its the first thing that jumped into my head. If this is not what you had intended, maybe you could lose the "May"? That would certainly take away the reference. On page 106, the sentence about Eileen's appearance doesn't make sense, "all present"? Huh? Also, there very a couple of clunky descriptions, such as "small town handsome" I'm having a hard time picturing that, as well as "decorated like the midwest." Like I said, those are VERY minor quibbles. All in all, I think this is a great SP.
