Recent in-game fixes for 12/14/2009 {WoW}
Dec 15th 2009 11:15AM Perhaps Hawk9hb is just proud of his guild? If they're anything like us they've never gotten to say they killed something "pre-nerf" before and as a casual guild leader, while I don't think it makes us leet more than perhaps "lucky", it's still a very exciting thing to be able to say.
Gratz hun :)
Guildwatch: "these guilds in which this game is revolved around" {WoW}
Nov 19th 2009 5:40AM Hah. ED on Guildwatch, never thought I'd see the day :P
The Sòlus GL made a post not too long after the whole Brighter thing to say they're qutting WoW because it's "boring". Couldn't be because your guild is a laughing stock, maybe?
Breakfast Topic: Getting guildies to the website {WoW}
Nov 7th 2009 9:32AM We don't tend to have a problem with this, since the majority of our guildies actually *want* to get to know each other. I'm always surprised at guilds who don't have a community out-of-game, for people to hang around in when they should be working etc ;)
We've got the forum (obviously), raid signups (the in-game calendar is truly horrendous), guild blogs, monthly awards & nominations, the application form, etc etc and so on. It is of course also a good place to keep a record of all the need-to-know things like Vent info and general guild rules, so nobody can say they didn't know about them.
We're often complimented on having a site a little out of the ordinary "free hosted template" genre and a few people have even listed it on their application as one of the things that attracted them to the guild.
Get a website, guys!
Officers' Quarters: Partners in crime {WoW}
Oct 27th 2009 6:40AM I'm genuinely shocked by the amount of people defending this sort of cheating, I always assumed it was a tiny minority who couldn't grasp concepts like fairness and general good manners but it seems there are quite a few.
Makes me prouder of my guild, too, since I ran it with my boyfriend as officer for 2 years and would never have even considered something like this.
Wowhead releases character profiler {WoW}
Jun 26th 2009 8:21AM Someone who's used both....is it better or worse than Warcrafter.net?
I'd still learn toward Warcrafter with it's lack of annoying poker ads unless Wowhead has something really amazing going for it, so I'd be interested in a quick comparison.
wowTwitter is a Twitter just for your characters {WoW}
Jun 12th 2009 9:58AM Dammit I already have an actual Twitter account for both of my guilds (@fmguild and @swguild), now I'll have about 5 more characters ones to update too. Great...
WoW Ladies in the spotlight {WoW}
Apr 28th 2009 9:19PM Awesome. WoW Ladies is where I learned how to play :P

Dec 15th 2008 11:07AM "They do not show up on the mini-map if you're tracking herbs."
They've always shown up on my minimap, your herb tracking is broken :-)
The Tuesday Morning Post: Don't forget your Consortium g... oh wait {WoW}
Dec 2nd 2008 7:35AM Ok I've never made one of these nitpicky posts before but dear God...it's Outland not Outlands, please don't encourage that sort of thing.

'The Fast and the Furious 6′ Lands an Ass-Kicker From 'The Raid'
Movie News By Rob Hunter on July 28, 2012 | Comments (1)It should be news to no one that a sixth film in the Fast & the Furious franchise is heading into production. The last film, Fast Five, is the highest grossing installment in the series, and regardless of the film's quality that's one hell of a feat. Happily, under the guiding hand of director Justin Lin, Fast Five actually managed to be a damn entertaining movie. (Stupid, but entertaining.) Lin is returning to helm the sixth film, and many of the usual suspects are along for the ride including Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson and Fast Five's MVP Dwayne Johnson. Previously announced newcomers include the charisma-free Luke Evans (Death Race 2) and Haywire's kick-ass leading lady Gina Carano. It's assumed that both will be playing for the bad guys. If that assumption is correct, they've just found themselves a third team member.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: April 29, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on April 29, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr gets in his car and hits the road with a can of NOS energy drink and his shaved head. Too bad his car is a 2006 Dodge minivan with collapsible seats and a back-seat DVD player for the kids to use. He didn't stand a chance in the street racing against Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. After recovering from the cold, hard truth that The Rock stole his look for Fast Five, Kevin goes stag to Prom and suffers through the direct-to-DVD theatrical release of Hoodwinked Too!: Hood vs. Evil.
Review: 'Fast Five' Mates Spectacular Action With A Stupid Script, Gives Birth To Big Bald Babies
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on April 29, 2011 | Comments (10)Let's cut to the chase here shall we? Fast Five is a stupid, overly long, and poorly written movie with moronic dialogue, plot contrivances big enough to fit both of the bald giants above through, and a complete disregard for right, wrong, and the sanctity of human life. More on all of that in a minute, but the other half of this equation is that it also features some kick-ass, high energy, destructive-as-hell action scenes that rattle the walls of the theater and happily remind you that there are still filmmakers capable of crafting spectacular cinematic mayhem without relying on CGI to do all the heavy lifting. So you can see my dilemma…
Time to Crank That New 'Fast and Furious' Trailer

Hi to All,
We are providing the Rabbit Breeders Philippines website in order to share ideas with others interested in Breeding and Raising Rabbits in the Philippines.
We are located in beautiful Cagayan de Oro City, Mindanao and you can contact Angel if you have any Questions, Comments, or want to Buy Rabbits for Sale.
My Husband and I began our Rabbitry in January of 2013 with 6 Breeder Rabbits (4 Does & 2 Bucks), and now we are on schedule for this December to have over 200 Rabbits.
Our goal in January of 2014 is to produce around 100+ Rabbits per month for Sale, either as Pets, or Meat Rabbits for Sale.
Call or Text Angel +639052950827, between 9AM and 5PM during the day 7 days a week.
Just give me a call or text me for information on raising rabbits or rabbits for sale.
The above photo is our first attempt at Cage Building and setting up our Rabbitry. We choose to build our own cages and decided on 2′x2′x1′.
The setup is hung from the ceiling and allows for easy cleaning, and lots of space for the Rabbits with the larger cage design.
We quickly found that using a thicker gauge wire 1/4 inch holes for cages worked better for us. If you use 1″ wire you will lose new born Bunnies through the large 1″ holes. If you use the cheap lesser gauge 1/4″ wire it is not heavy duty enough for the weight of the Rabbits once full grown.
We have decided that using the sloped GI Sheet Metal below the rabbit cages makes cleaning up super easy. We have begun working on a new system that also includes a U-shaped catcher that will fit on the end of the sloped edge which we hope makes clean-up even easier. We have used tin roofing metal as well as GI Sheets to attach to the slope, and we are now changing over to the GI Sheets because they are smooth and clean up is easier!
We use lots of ZipTies of all sizes, Bungee Cords, HD Eye-Hooks, Vinyl Coated S-Hooks, HD 1/4″ Galvanized Cage Wire, Heavy Gauge Galvanized Wire, 1/4″ Plywood, GI Sheets, and for the Cage Doors we now use only Folder Sliders which we buy at the School Supply Store. With 6 meters of Heavy Duty 1/4″ Cage Wire we get 4 and 1/2 Cages (2′x2′x1′) and the cost is 1,600 Pesos. We use a small electric hand held angle grinder to cut the heavy gauge cage wire. We will post a separate section on this website that covers cage building and other aspects of Rabbit Breeding and our Rabbitry Setup. Build Your Own DIY Rabbit Hutch Cages
When we first began breeding rabbits we built these very cool looking Baby Bunny Boxes which we found not to be the best idea since rabbits love to chew on wood and they used the toilet in the Bunny Boxes causing us more work to keep the Boxes clean. We have since changed over to a simple plastic box which works much better and is easier to wash clean. We will explain this in more detail later, with example photos.
We now save ourselves a ton of work switching over to the plastic Bunny Boxes and it is also better for the over all health of the Baby Bunnies since it is easier to wash the Boxes often with Clorox water which kills germs. We hope this information will help others get into Rabbit Breeding and setting up your Rabbitry correctly, and therefore saving time and money.
As Promised I am posting a Photo of the New Bunnie Boxes we have Upgraded to.
These work so much better than the wooded Bunnie Boxes we were using.
Much easier to clean indeed! We bought these at Unitop in CDO, but I am sure they can be found else where.
As you can see… the Mother Rabbit (Doe) has lots of room to relax because the NEW Bunny BOX is Smaller but more efficient!
Through trial and error we do find better ways to do things here in our Rabbitry ; )
Normally we get about 7 to 10 Baby Bunnies from each Mother, however at times when breeding a new Doe for the first time this will fall to between 3 to 6 Babies.
If you breed a Mature Doe every 2 months as recommended, this will yield you around 50+ babies from each which is a lot with 50 breeding females!
If you have 50 breeding females each having only 8 babies every 2 months, this would be 2,400 Kits a year! The key is to provide a healthy environment for the Mothers and Baby Kits along with a good diet of Fresh Grass, Grain and lots of Water. We will cover the diet in detail later.
As you can see here the Baby Kits really drink lots of Mother Milk daily, so you MUST be sure to Provide the Mother Doe with Healthy Food and LOTS of Fresh Water. We check on our Bunnies twice a daily and refill water bowls as well as give them Fresh Grass and Grain Pellets.
NOTE: We no longer use the clay bowls shown here, we have switched to Larger Hard Plastic Bowls (MELAMINE) which we buy at a low cost (10 Pesos each ) at the Market. The reason we changed from the Clay Bowls was the clay would become contaminated and slimy so we felt it best to change, plus as you can see the Rabbits would chew on the Clay which was not good either. We found it easier to ZipTie the Plastic Bowls to the Cage to prevent food waste and water spillage.
We feed our Rabbits Grass twice a day and provide grain Pellets once a day which gives them a well balanced healthy diet. We pay a local guy 150 Pesos a week to gather and deliver the grass each and every day.
Provided you have feed the Bunnies a healthy balanced diet they will be strong and full of life.
Please feel free to leave a Comment or ask questions in the Comment Section Below!
Basically we raise Organic Rabbits with no Chemicals added!!!
We raise Rabbits primarily for selling to Pet Shops, as well as Meat Rabbits for Meat Consumption.
Thank You for visiting our Rabbit Breeders Philippines website.

Question to Tom Stacy - I see by your bio that your goal is to "expose misleading claims made by the wind energy industry that have gotten them so deep into taxpayers pockets. Period." I too am not a big fan of government subsidies, so when I spent some time to research historical subsidies, I was quite surprised to find that the oil & gas industry has been the biggest beneficiary of government subsidies when evaluated from a historical perspective. Here are a few example historical analysis:
1. The Historical Role of Federal Subsidies in Shaping America's Energy Future - http://www.dblinvestors.com/documents/What-Would-Jefferson-Do-Final-Version.pdf
2. Assessment of Incentives and Employment Impacts of Solar Industry Deployment - examines the impact and looks to the future of solar energy as compared with other energy sources. See article at http://bakercenter.utk.edu/news/assessment-of-incentives-and-employment-impacts-of-solar-industry-deployment-5-1-12/
3. THE RHETORIC: Renewable energy is subsidized at higher rates than fossil fuels. See http://www.truthaboutwindpower.com/truth/policy/energy-incentives/more-info
Do you have analysis reports that show differently?
So let's now UPDATE the Texas energy market design to take advantage of distributed generation PV solar - tapping that untapped natural energy resource. Electricity generated from PV solar is generated primarily at the peak demand periods.
Combining wind energy, distributed PV solar, and in the longer term - distributed energy storage - will give us a 21st century renewable energy grid in Texas - one that will be much less volatile and much CLEANER than one dependent on fossil fuels!
Excellent article! In Texas, the Public Utility Commission has been wrestling with resource adequacy primarily related to peak demand. They seem to be trying all kinds of market design tweaks, but to this point, seem to be ignoring the obvious opportunity - leverage distributed generation using PV solar. The sun causes our peak demand needs, why not encourage ways to take advantage of it? I would appreciate any assistance you could bring to get the attention of the Texas PUC to seriously consider ways to leverage distributed generation vs just looking a the traditional central generation model.
I am a conservative. Renewable Energy must be a bipartisan issue. It is unfortunate that it gets lumped into partisan gridlock. As I stated, I am a conservative. Everyone should read the report referenced at the end of this article - "What Would Jefferson Do?" If we think we should phase out subsidies for renewable energy, shouldn't we first stop all subsidies for energy sources that have been receiving subsidies the longest?
Clarification to Anonymous - My comment that RE should be a bipartisan issue was not related to support for federal legislation, but that it should not be used by either side as their "own" rally cry. RE is not for/against one side or the other, it is a technology that will continue to advance and most likely be a big part of the world's energy supply in the future. Check out this article - "Solar PV will do to grids what mobiles did to telephony", http://reneweconomy.com.au/2012/solar-pv-will-do-to-grids-what-mobiles-did-to-telephony-19153
If we are discussing ending subsidies for renewable energy, then what about ending subsidies for other existing energy sources and farm/crop subsidies? The issue of subsidies for renewable energy is a concern to me as well as to most people, so I have begun to research this topic in more detail. Although the message we generally hear is that renewable energy sources are receiving too much in subsidies, what I have found in various studies is that when taken in the context of a longer period of history, all energy sources have benefited from significant and long-term subsidies. So, if we think we must phase out subsidies on renewable energy sources any time soon, then shouldn't we first make sure that other more mature energy source subsidies are phased out first?

3 Responses to "A small Loaf with Oysters"
We made these one year during my "Fireside Feasts" historic cooking workshops at Brooklyn's (NY) Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum. We used Hannah Glasse's receipt from her cookbook "The Art of Cookery" (1747). I'd made the French rolls in advance (at home). Very delicious! They sure didn't stay on that plate for long. HUZZAH!

During the time I got interested in cooking, there weren't a lot of cookery books available for vegetarian Indian cooking. My parents were both good cooks. My dad was a self taught chef and was always asked to cater at Indian weddings. My father in law too was a chef and I learnt a lot of traditional cooking by watching both my dads cook. I was always asking them for recipes and tips. They shared a lot of their cooking "tricks" with me. I am still a traditional cook and would like to share my style of cooking with my friends. I had always wanted to write a cookery book but never got the time. Now as I grow older, I don't need as much sleep. I am using the time I have to cook lovely dishes for my family and at the same time keep a record of what I cook. I don't do a lot of baking and I am going to make it my goal to learn to bake a few cakes this year. Cooking is only fun if you can share what you cook with people you enjoy being with. I feel very blessed that my family are very supportive of my hobby.

Genuinely sorry about that. :grouphug:
The pattern has been going on for over a year and becoming more brazen. Little by little you see the old timers leave and the new ones quickly leave. It isn't enjoyable reading or posting for the vast majority anymore on the balance of the threads. As Jenn said in her farewell speech she found the magic we once all enjoyed here somewhere else. While I really enjoy my friends on RTs, and the food thread it is dangerous on the balance of the threads, they were once pleasant and welcoming most members avoid them now. You can see that in the amount of posts per day now and new threads started. Members gave up. I enjoy talking Disney, the good, bad and ugly and miss being able to do that, unfortunate.
Alamo, good analogy. :thumbs:

Pork Chops in Creamy Turmeric Sauce is a spicy (but not overly hot), sweet, tangy dish. It has complex flavor but very simple preparation. The sauce is also really versatile and likely to taste just as good over chicken, beef, or seafood. This is the type of recipe you'll make again and again.
Turmeric lends its deep yellow color and the earthy, peppery flavor often tasted in curries. It also adds a slew of potential health benefits [7] to your meal. Coconut milk, lime, cilantro and jalapeño are the other major flavors, coming together in a bold and plate-licking good sauce.
Pour the sauce over cauliflower rice, top it with a pork chop and then sauté or steam some veggies for a side. Dinner is served!
Serves: 4
Time in the Kitchen: 30 minutes
Combine the coconut milk, garlic, lime juice, fish sauce, jalapeno (optional),1 teaspoon turmeric, and the cilantro in a blender. Blend the mixture into a smooth sauce.
If the pork isn't thin enough (1/2 inch thick or less) use a meat mallet to flatten the pork. Or, slice thicker pork chops in half to turn them into two thinner chops.
Lightly season the pork with salt and turmeric.
In a wide skillet heat the coconut oil. When the oil is hot add the shallot and saute for 30 seconds. Add the pork.
Cook the pork only 2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Transfer the pork to a plate.
Add the coconut sauce to the skillet. Use a spoon to scrape up any tasty bits of meat stuck to the pan as the sauce comes to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes.
While the sauce is boiling, make the cauliflower rice. Trim and roughly chop the cauliflower.
Process in a food processor until the cauliflower has the texture of rice (the cauliflower can also be grated by hand with a box grater).
Cauliflower rice can be cooked in a microwave [8] for 3 to 5 minutes until soft or sautéed in a pan with several tablespoons of oil for 5 to 10 minutes until soft. Season with salt and butter.
Add the pork and any accumulated meat juice back to the skillet with the sauce. Simmer just long enough to heat the pork back up.
Serve the sauce and pork over the cauliflower rice. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro.

The investigation continues into the 300-foot crane collapse last Wednesday at the TF Cornerstone construction site in Hunters Point where seven workers were harmed with non-life-threatening injuries. According to the Fire Department, of the seven involved, three had to be freed from under the crane itself.
"I just ran; I was calling my son's mother and my son to tell them, you know, how much I loved them," said Preston White, a Bronx carpenter working at the scene during the accident.
"It was just that tragic," White added.
The residential construction site located at 46th Avenue and Center Boulevard is right behind the famous 120-foot-long Pepsi Cola sign, which pierces the Long Island City skyline at Gantry Plaza State Park, along with luxury apartments on the East River waterfront.
"Site safety is always our first priority as it relates to construction, and we are cooperating fully with all relevant authorities to try and determine what caused this occurrence," said TF Cornerstone spokesperson John Marino in a written statement.
White went on to recall the moments he heard a cable snap, forcing it to recoil back toward the crane, which was followed by a loud crushing sound.
"Everybody started running out of the way that was on the deck, because they thought that's all that was coming [down], the cable ... the next thing you know, the crane just buckled and came crashing down," White said, still visibly shaken when speaking to reporters at the scene.
The crane is owned by New York Crane but was leased and operated by subcontractor Cross Country Construction at the time of the incident.
According to initial reports from the Department of Buildings, the mobile crane's boom was attempting to lift a load that was more than double its maximum capacity for the unit — at a weight of 23,900 pounds.
"The preliminary investigation also shows that the operator was unable to see the materials being lifting and was attempting to lift those materials outside of the approved loading zone," Buildings Commissioner Robert LiMandri said in a statement last Thursday evening, the most recent information released by the department since the accident.
Crane operator Paul Greer has had his Hoist Machine Operator Class-B license suspended as a result.
Local politicians are now weighing in on construction site safety concerns.
State Sen. Mike Gianaris (D-Astoria) called this accident "avoidable" in a press release issued right after the incident.
"While the ongoing development of western Queens is great for job growth and the local economy, all development projects must be done responsibly," Gianaris said on Tuesday.
"Cranes and other construction work must be operated with safety as the predominant guide, not speed. Any future development should be done in a way to maximize concern for people's safety," he added.
In 2008, New York Crane owner James Lomma was indicted on charges of manslaughter, following the death of two construction workers at an Upper East Side work site. He was eventually acquitted of all charges last April.
Gianaris acknowledges that most construction projects in LIC are done efficiently and safely, but notes that all involved on a construction site — from crane operators and workers on-site, to the development companies — need to ensure their project adheres to codes every step of the way to avoid accidents and injuries from occurring.
"I think what we have to do is make sure whatever pressure exists in terms of desire to complete projects in a timely and on budget manner, that safety is not compromised in any way to reach those understandable goals," said Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside).
Van Bramer arrived at the scene moments after the injured and other workers were evacuated from the construction site. While there, the council member, who noted all workers were accounted for, also spoke to the chief of police, who reported on the injured. He additionally spoke to constituents who came down to see what was going on.
"People in the neighborhood came by clearly concerned," Van Bramer said, noting he did not want to speculate if speed was a specific concern relating to this accident as the investigation is ongoing.

The first assessment will be held from March 28 to April 1 in all Tesda centers and administered schools nationwide, including Negros Occidental.
The assessment and certification are free of charge.
Tesda director-general Joel Villanueva said that if the students are able to hurdle all the required competencies, they will be given a national certificate which they can use in applying for jobs in fields that are highly in demand and good-paying.
"One of the synchronized assessment's primary objectives is to increase the number of certified Filipino workers and TVET graduates so they can be qualified for good jobs," Villanueva said.
"We also want to strengthen the scale and popularity of the assessment program and undertake an advocacy to raise people's awareness about it," Villanueva said in a statement, adding that the NATCAC is a simultaneous conduct of competency assessment and certification in identified key qualifications that are hard to find but with high industry demand.
"It will be a week-long activity wherein assessment and certification will be offered for free at the regional and provincial levels funded by the Training for Work Scholarship Program of Tesda," he said.
The assessment is available to skilled workers, TVET graduates and graduating students of registered programs in the following courses: construction, including electrical installation and maintenance NC III, electrical installation and maintenance NC II, masonry NC III, plumbing NC II, carpentry NC III, SMAW NC III, SMAW NC II and construction painting NC III; ICT involving visual graphics NC III, 2D animation NC III, 3D animation NC III, programming NC IV and computer hardware servicing NC II; and electronics, including mechatronics NC III, instrumentation NC III and consumer electronics servicing III.
Assessment will also be available in courses in tourism, including food and beverage services NC II and III, commercial cooking NC II, bread and pastry-making NC II, housekeeping NC III, housekeeping NC II and events management services NC III as well as automotive and land transport like automotive servicing NC II and III and driving NC III.
The March 28 to April 1 NATCAC Week is only the first of three batches that Tesda plans to conduct this year. The next two batches are tentatively scheduled on June 27 to July 1 and August 22 to 26, 2011.
The Tesda provincial and district offices are in charge of the processing of the application and will be the one to inform the applicant of his/her assessment schedule.
During pre-assessment activities, the regional offices will select from the identified qualifications and the list of qualifications to be offered during the assessment week based on the market demand per region.
The NATCAC committee will monitor the conduct of assessment activities during the assessment week. (CGC)

Humanitarian, spokesperson and international actress Maggie Q stars as Nikita in the new high-octane drama of the same name. Taught to be an invisible assassin by the ultra-secret government agency Division, Nikita has gone rogue, and vows to destroy the now-corrupt agency that trained her.
Maggie has continuously captivated audiences worldwide by showing her versatility in graceful and seductive roles with immense international appeal, working opposite some of the world's most established actors, including Hugh Jackman in Deception, Bruce Willis in Live Free or Die Hard and Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible III.
Born in Hawaii to an American father and Vietnamese mother, Maggie spent her childhood competing in swimming and track and field events. At the age of 18, she moved to Hong Kong to pursue a career in modeling. She quickly rose to top-model status in many parts of Asia and has appeared on more than 200 magazine covers throughout the world.
Most recently, Maggie appeared in New York, I Love You, directed by Yvan Attal, and the Chinese epic Warrior and the Wolf, directed by award-winning director Zhuangzhuang Tian. Maggie received the Maverick Award for Warrior and the Wolf at the 2009 Hawaiian International Film Festival.
As a humanitarian, Maggie gives much of her time and effort to animal rights. She lends her voice to Animals Asia Foundation's various campaigns, and also works with Human Rights Action Center and Best Friends Animal Society. Her public service announcement (PSA) to rescue China's moon bears is currently airing throughout Asia, and she is also working on another PSA campaign for Best Friends. Additionally, Maggie produced the 2007 documentary Earthlings, which took a startling look at the day-to-day practices of some of the largest industries in the world, which rely entirely on animals for profit.
When not filming on location or traveling the world to speak out for her charitable causes, Maggie resides in Los Angeles, where she lives with several rescue dogs.

California Poised for State to Manage Private Pensions
Sept. 1 (Bloomberg) -- California lawmakers approved a bill that would permit as many as 6.3 million private workers without a pension plan to set aside retirement money for management by the state.
If signed by Governor Jerry Brown, the first state-run pension program for nongovernment employees would add as much as $6.6 billion to funds managed by the California Public Employees' Retirement System, the biggest U.S. pension. Calpers, as the fund is known, ended fiscal 2012 with $233 billion in assets.
"This is government doing what government is supposed to do, and that's helping people," said Assemblyman Warren Furutani, a Long Beach Democrat.
The Assembly voted 44-24 yesterday for the plan aimed at businesses with five or more employees that don't offer pensions or 401(k) savings programs. Companies would be required to contribute 3 percent of a worker's salary to the retirement account. Workers would be enrolled unless they choose to opt out.
The proposal by state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg of Sacramento and Senator Kevin de Leon of Los Angeles, both Democrats, passed the upper chamber 23-13 in May.
Brown, a Democrat, has until Sept. 30 to sign or veto the legislation, or it becomes law without his signature.
About 6.3 million Californians, most of them making less than $46,420 a year, aren't covered by an employer-provided retirement plan, according to a June 2012 study by the Labor Center of the University of California, Berkeley. De Leon cited the research in promoting his legislation.
Prior Attempts
De Leon introduced bills in 2008 and 2009 that would have put Calpers in charge of retirement accounts for private-sector workers, including those at nonprofit organizations, without a workplace retirement plan. The measures were opposed by both unions and financial firms, and neither came up for a vote.
The California Chamber of Commerce opposed de Leon's current bill. The state's largest business organization said the measure would subject employers to "significant cost" and also deprive workers of income, in a statement on its website.
"The legislation could force low-wage workers to choose between being forced to set aside money for retirement and current pressing obligations, including paying the rent and high-interest credit debt," according to the statement.
The measure wouldn't automatically entrust the new retirement accounts to Calpers. Rather, the fund, which manages benefits for 1.6 million public employees, retirees and beneficiaries, could bid for the asset-management business in a process overseen by an investment board headed by the state treasurer. Private firms could compete to manage all or part of the money.
In analyzing the 2008 and 2009 proposals, Calpers estimated that starting the program would cost about $1.69 million over two years, according to an Assembly staff analysis of the current bill. It said startup costs could exceed $10 million.
Once established, the program's costs would be covered by investment income, the analysis said. Calpers hasn't taken a position on the bill.

The "great rotation", is the newest propaganda meme for the masses. On Google search stats, the last major spike was the 2007 market high. This one has been around for awhile and now shows a recent search surge. However, the money flows into equities represent the pull forward of selling into December to take advantage of lower tax rates. January is primarily a return of this investment, and not new money of any consequence. January almost always sees money coming to the market, so this is being exaggerated. Even if there was a rotation, that would spell the death knell of the credit and bond bubbles. Credit and bond bubbles need constant new credit, not diversion to equity.

This weekend, in a bout of spring cleaning, I attacked the living room with a wild abandon, taking bric-a-brac and hastily displayed household items like candles off shelves to dust. I tossed books onto the dining table and unwound picture frames from tediously placed arrangements.
When I looked up to survey my handiwork, I experienced how wonderful a little white space (or taupe, in this case) can be in a room. Carefully, I replaced a few items, leaving a pile of less-worthy pieces to be dealt with by garage sale. The effect was a relaxing, accomplished feeling.

I have two crape myrtles that require transplanting for a sunnier exposure. (I've searched various forums in GW and read widely different opinions. Am interested in the current thinking on the subject.) : ) I bought the two in containers and planted last fall. Both are doing well: 'Tonto' has grown to 4' with a 3' width (canopy); 'Catawba' is 6' x 4'. 1. When is the best time to transplant? (I'm not concerned with any additional watering needs or loss of flowers if I transplant now. My only interest lies in the health of the plants: I don't want to stress them.) 2. How far should I expect the roots to have extended? 3. How much of these roots do I need to retain when I transplant? IOW, how large of a root ball should I expect to have to dig when moving them? (How far out from the trunk and how deep?) 4. I've read suggestions about root pruning the trees in preparation for transplanting. Is this advisable? If so, I'd be most appreciative if some of you would walk me through the specific steps of this procedure. Truth be told, I'd be equally appreciative for any help about any facet of transplanting crape myrtles. |

root pruning is very old school ... current thought is not to stress the heck out of them now.. and do it again at transplant ... when the time comes.. just do it ... we are only a few weeks from the high heat of summer... in my z5 MI ... i am basically stopping all transplanting.. and holding stock over until fall ... you would dig about 6 inches out.. from what you planted ... if you tell us where you are.. someone might be more specific on dates ... if you have to move them.. just do it ... but my suggestions is for the best time to move them ... ken |

Ken Thanks for the suggestions. I'm just outside Roanoke, VA. Despite the mild weather thus far, history tells me we're in for some blistering hot days through July and August. (And September hasn't been exactly comfortable as of late.) I usually do dividing and transplanting of perennials (hostas, for instance) in late September to mid-October. The crape myrtle's planting containers were about 12" in diameter; the planting hole I dug was 24" wide and as deep as the container. (Actually, not quite as deep since I planted them just a bit 'high'.) Please bear with me: I want to make sure that I understand. You suggest digging 6" out from what was planted. If I go out 6" from the base of the trunk, I'll have a root ball the same size as it was in the original container. If I go out 6" from the original root ball (as it was in the container), I'll have a root ball about 24" in diameter. Of course, If I go out 6" beyond the planting hole I dug, I'm looking at a diameter of 36". Big hole! : ) I'm a bit slow sometimes; would appreciate if you'd clarify which of my interpretations is correct. |
- Posted by ssmdgardener 7a (My Page) on Mon, Jun 17, 13 at 16:59
Ken, can you explain why root pruning is old school? Everything I've read from extension services has said that it improves survival rate after transplantation, especially when you can't provide adequate watering. |
1. I believe this link will answer your first question: Planting a Tree or Shrub 2. & 3. Crape myrtles are tough and need very little babying. You can add trunk diameters (if multiple trunks) and get a rough idea of the rootball size from the table found here: Generic Rootball Size Guide 4. Root pruning is not necessary for crape myrtles. It might be beneficial for some much more finicky types of trees/shrubs, if you could do it far enough in advance. I see no benefit in the case of crape myrtles. |

I would have transplanted the crapes in March or April prior to their coming out of dormancy for the best outcome. But, since yours have not been in the ground all that long (and probably are not really established yet), you could probably get away with moving them now PROVIDED you trimmed back some of the new growth (maybe 2/3 of the NEW growth?) and water, water, water them all summer, deeply at least once a week. |
- Posted by terratoma 7a (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Jun 19, 13 at 15:21
Thanks everyone. I've calculated the rootball diameter and depth for transplanting, using the guide provided by brandon7 earlier in this thread and will be listing the results. But first ..... yesterday,a neighbor heard about my plans and said that I don't need to transplant. According to him, the crape myrtles are getting 'all the sun they need'. Being new to crape myrtles, I have no basis to disagree with him. I'd like to get your take on the situation. 'Tonto', the smaller of the two, gets full sun until about 2PM, daylight savings time(so actually 1PM based on the sun). By 3PM (true 2PM), it's receiving no direct sun. Is this, as my neighbor claims, sufficient sun for the crape myrtle to thrive and bloom? I was under the impression that they were sun lovers and needed all day or near all day sun. |
I believe they would probably do better and be healthier and more full if given more sun. Whether or not they will have "enough" sun exposure in their current location, it's hard to say. My guess is that they would survive with the light they have now, but not not reach their full potential. Do NOT "(trim) back some of the new growth" if you do move them! |
- Posted by terratoma 7a (email@example.com) on Thu, Jun 20, 13 at 19:58
After all the responses, I am leaning toward transplanting (for more sun) in the fall. I understand transplanting now is a possibility but am concerned about the stress the plant may experience during the summer. brandon7: I used the rootball guide you kindly provided and calculated the diameter and depth of the rootball I will need to dig when transplanting. I'd appreciate it if you would look over my figures to see if my interpretation is correct. |
Yes, you did the calculations correctly. These are just rough estimates (and may not be ideal for all species), but should work great for your crape myrtles. |
- Posted by CrapeMyrtleGuy 8 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Jun 24, 13 at 14:53
I would wait till they go dormant in the winter. They are pretty tough, but I'd still wait till dormant. Much less stress... |
- Posted by terratoma 7a (email@example.com) on Fri, Aug 16, 13 at 12:21
Back again. I decided, after reading the suggestions_ and no offense to anyone_ to wait until late September to transplant. I'd appreciate any suggestions regarding pruning that should be done before transplanting. (I'd like to train the plants into a 'tree', rather than a 'shrub', form.) |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Fri, Aug 16, 13 at 17:10
why would you want to cut off all the branches.. before you cut off all the roots... one stress this fall.. move it... once re-established.. then start cutting off its food making machines.. the leaves .... ken |

I have been trying to connect to AutoCAD 2012 64 bit without any luck. for some time.
I have tryed Jerry Winters templates for autoCAD 2010 64 bit. No luck because it can't
find the working directory. If I try to correct that problem I come up with other errors.
I have trying installing AutoCAD 2012 wizzard and I have no luck to get it working When I install
It says "Visual Studio Express 2008 or 2010 not installed "when I have VS 2008 allready installed on
my machine. Unblocking the file does not change anything. Is a another dead end.
I have VS 2008 express install on my AutoCAD 2012 machine 64 bit. Can some give
a suggestion to make a VB.net connection to AutoCAD. Maybe a working sample program
works on AutoCAD 2012 (64 bit) would help. Maybe a 2012 template for AutoCAD 2012 (64bit)
to see if a can get some kind of AutoCAD connection.
Any suggestions, I am about to give up on this VB.net thing.
Thank you,
>> Maybe a working sample programworks on AutoCAD 2012 (64 bit) would help
At least you have samples within the ObjectARX-kit, there are samples for C++ and also for C# and VB.NET, look and download it from >>>here<<< ... it's free, but you have to register for it.
The only things you may have to change in these samples is the folder of the files referenced.
>> I have VS 2008 express install on my AutoCAD 2012 machine 64 bit
As AutoCAD 2012-libraries are based on Framework 4 you should follow the recomendations and you VisualStudio 2010 instead. Of course there are workarounds to get your code running and to be able to debug with Framework 3.5, but it's not designed for that.
Good luck, - alfred -
Ok I downloaded the AutoCAD object ARX in the above link and installed it. I find a lot of *.dg files.
under the samples folder. Where are the VB.net sample files. When I create a new vb.net project
I usually use *.vbproj to start a project? Please walk me through this?
Also, If I install VS 2010 express. Is there an expiration date on it. I think there is not a expiration date
on VS2008?
Thank you,
Ok so they are _dg folders but it looks like there are *.vbcprog files in them I guess those are
Net c files. Where are the vb.net project files?
Thank you,
>> Where are the vb.net project files?
search for *.VBPROJ ... that brings you to all subfolder from samples\dotNet
- alfred -
I went into Dot Net folder and opened Helloworld project in VS 2008 and all I got was build errors.
I tryed Selectionset.vpproj with the same results. These programs form AutoDesk are not working.
So what is the next step?
Thank you,
>> These programs form AutoDesk are not working.
>> So what is the next step?
As the readme's tell you, have you updated the references?
- alfred -
Which readme file?
I looked in the Helloworld readme file in dot net folderl
It did not mention anything about referance files. It only talked about netloading.
So is there another readme file I should look at?
Thank you,
Here is a print screen of the Hello World program referances.
see file attachment.
Thank you,
what I see is that you are running VS in normal mode (it has not started AutoCAD for debugging purposes) and in parallel you have startet AutoCAD. So if now you have your DLL loaded into this AutoCAD-instance you would not be able to compile as the DLL is currently locked/is in-use by AutoCAD.
I also see that your VS-project shows 1 error and 1 warning (lower left corner of your VS-AppWindow). As long as you have errors the usage of this project is useless.
>> So is there another readme file I should look at?
I think parallel to every single sample is a readme, start Windows-Explorer and go to the samples\dotNET\HelloWorld- directory:
If you have a problem getting VS-Express into AutoCAD-debugging-mode than look to >>>this blog<<<.

L. C. Bird's storied athletes have continued to grow recently when 6 foot 6 inch left-handed hurler Bryce Harman signed his letter of intent to play baseball at East Carolina University (ECU) in 2013.
ECU began recruiting Harman during his sophomore year after he met the coaching staff at a tournament in Atlanta, Ga. Harman, son of Kathy and Alvin Harman, of Chester, was recruited as a pitcher, but has years of experience off the mound at first base.
"ECU has an excellent coaching staff," Harman said. "We had a connection right from the start and have kept in touch ever since."
As one can imagine, Harman's parents are thrilled about his opportunity.
"He has worked so hard to get to where he is," said Kathy Harman. "ECU is a perfect school for Bryce and it's not too far from home."
On Nov. 14, Harman was surrounded by family, friends and faculty during his signing ceremony. Harman voiced his appreciation for the support his family and friends have given him and the extra hours his teachers have provided to help him maintain his grades. Harman's former basketball coach, Chuck Thomas, now Bird's activities director, led the signing ceremony by praising his determination and his family's devotion to the game.
"It takes a lot to travel," said Thomas referring to Harman's travel team experience. "And Bryce's family's dedication to baseball has lead to much of his success."
Harman, a senior at L. C. Bird, has gained national attention as a standout on Richmond Braves National travel team over the last few seasons. As a pitcher, Harman can hurl the ball in the mid-90s and has been working on developing his changeup along with perfecting his curveball. Furthermore, his travel team experience has made him into a more disciplined pitcher.
"I love throwing my fastball in this league [high school] because I can overpower hitters with my speed," said Harman. "But travel ball has taught me to be a pitcher not a thrower."
Still, Harman isn't only a pitcher. Early this fall he showcased his hitting ability at the WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Fla. in front of a crowd full of college and pro scouts.
Harman hit .454 at the World Championship while facing some of the top pitchers in the nation, most of whom will be attending top SEC and ACC schools next fall according to Harman.
"I worked really hard over the summer to become a better hitter and it paid off big in Jupiter." Harman said. "There were a lot of pro scouts at that tournament and I was able to showcase by hitting."
On the mound, Harman was able to not only beat the number one travel team in the country but "dominate" them.
His performances at recent national tournaments have caused some chatter in the air over the possibility of him entering the MLB draft. Thomas sees the potential for Harman to go as early as the second round. It's a "no-brainer."
"I've had a lot of pro teams calling here," said Thomas. "It's not often teams come across a 6 foot 6 inch lefty who can throw in the 90s. He's a great hitter, so they can always stick him at first base."
For now, Harman is focusing on his transition to ECU. Making the transition easier, his long time friend and teammate Charlie Yorgen will be joining him at ECU. Yorgen plays shortstop for St Christopher School in Richmond and for Richmond Braves National.
"ECU is a great opportunity. The atmosphere is great and the fans are electric," said Harman. "And for now, that is my next step."
I just want to say WAY TO GO to my cousin Bryce! You have came along way and I just want to wish you the best to many more!!!!! Be Strong And Never Give UP!
Love Always,
Amber N. Floyd

Hot Pancit Molo Soup Recipe for Rainy DaysBeing a tropical country, one may wonder why cold soups are not popular with Filipinos unlike hot soups. A wide selection of soups can be had any time of the day if one so wishes; more so during rainy days, when weather is cooler. Filipino soups are usually with meat, vegetables and noodles. Widely popular soups and the main ingredients respectively are bulalo (beef knee bones), lomi (meat and fresh egg noodles), batchoy/bachoy (pork innards), mami (noodles and meat, heavily influenced by Chinese cooking) and pancit molo (dumpling soup). For the daring and adventurous, there is brain soup and what the locals call soup no. 5. Brain soup has pigs brains and miswa (soft egg noodles). Soup no. 5 is said to be an aphrodisiac mainly because of whats in it (bulls reproductive organ). These two however are not common fare and few restaurants serve them. For a taste of home-cooked soup, here is a simple pancit molo recipe from my sister. The ingredients are easily available in both wet market and the fresh produce section of supermarkets. Abroad, you can find the ingredients at oriental stores. Pancit molo is prepared in three segments: the soup, the wrapping and the filling. Prepare the filling first. You will need 1 cup of ground pork, a quarter cup of chopped shrimps (shelled and de-veined), a quarter cup of chopped, cooked chicken meat, a small onion - chopped, 2 tablespoons of chopped water chestnut, 2 cloves of garlic chopped, one tablespoon of chopped onion leaves, one teaspoon of salt, one tablespoon of soy sauce, about a quarter teaspoon of ground pepper. Mix these ingredients well, divide into two and set aside. Next, prepare the wrapping. You have a choice do it yourself or buy the prepared wrapper called molo wrapper or wonton wrapper. Using the store-bought wrapper will save you time; however, if these are not available you can easily make your own. Heres how: Slightly beat one whole egg with half a teaspoon of salt; then add a quarter cup of water. Add about two cups of regular flour. Knead until smooth and elastic in consistency. Roll dough on a floured surface until thin. Cut into small triangles or 3 squares. Fill each wrapper with enough meat mixture to allow it to be crimped at the ends and seal. A way of doing this is to put meat mixture in the middle of a wrapper, slightly wet the edges with water and bring up the four corners over the filling, then pinch together to seal. Do the same for the rest of the meat mixture. Set aside and cover while you prepare the broth/soup. In a large saucepan, sauté in one tablespoon of vegetable oil, one tablespoon each of chopped onion, minced garlic and chopped, white part of onion leeks. Add the remaining half of the filling mixture. Cook for five minutes. Add 3 to 5 cups (depending on how soupy you want it to be) of chicken broth and let boil. Add in the filled wrappers. Lower the heat and simmer gently until meat is cooked and the wrappers are translucent. If there are left over wrappers or dough trimmings, cut into small strips and include in the soup. Season to taste with freshly ground black pepper and salt. Garnish with chopped onion leaves if desired. This could serve four people and is best when served hot. Hope you like this version of Pancit Molo.

This is duplicated from the GMs forums. Anyways, this is our ideal setup:
Character sheet in sheet protector so you can use vis a vis marker or counters to mark stress/fatigue/stance/fortune point use.
Album sheet with all your Advanced Action cards. As you're either reckless or green, you can flip this accordingly. We also put career cards, talent cards (because we don't socket), etc. in there.
Basic action sheet (either on Gitzman's sheet or the small print-out). As we removed "counting" for defenses, that makes that area smaller.
Table Tent with career card on front for picture
Wooden card holder for dynamic/temporary cards: wounds, temp insanities, conditions, etc.
Lastly, a rolling area where players can share dice or not mix dice (as desired)
What else would you have on yours? Also, if there is anything there you'd like to see in more detail, let me know and i"ll shoot and upload some more photos.

I Agree with T.O.? Wait, wha-huh?
By Cecilio's Scribe on Jul 26, 2009 with Comments 1
So, it is with a great sense of personal surprise that I find myself wholeheartedly agreeing with the most recent gospel of T.O. Quite simply, he believes the notion that commissioner Roger Goodell is (reportedly) considering an additional suspension for Michael Vick is complete and utter bullcrap. All I can say is, word up, Mr. Owens. Word. Friggin'. Up.
Owens,who is apparently the toast of the town in Buffalo (I totally get it, but let's see how long it lasts), decided to use one of his recent press conferences to speak out on behalf of Vick. T.O. referred to the consideration of a suspension (of Vick) by the League as "ridiculous." He went on to assert that two years in prison was punishment enough and even lamented the fact that other NFL players weren't coming to Vick's defense in greater numbers. Of course, this wouldn't be T.O. if not for a small dose of crazy talk, where he claimed Goodell needed to experience prison as well. Par for the course.
Anyway, outside of the Goodell-to-the-clink postulation, for once Owens is making perfect sense. Now, I've intentionally stayed away from this Vick stuff entirely from the start. For one, I like the guy and have always given him an albeit perhaps unearned benefit of the doubt, despite his deficiencies reading defenses on the field or his frequently pathetic judgment off of it. Not to mention, nearly every outlet in the world – mainstream, blog and otherwise – beat every aspect of the Vick "saga" to absolute pulp. I found little reason to drum up additional debate on an issue that really had no right or wrong answer.
Now, however, I believe it does. In this case, there is a wrong answer. The NFL suspending Michael Vick (for any additional amount of time) is the wrong answer. The man has done his time. Whether or not you believe (as I do) that the time did not necessarily fit the crime, Vick has nonetheless served out his sentence of nearly two years. The laws of the land have spoken, and he has followed the letter of the law.
Sure, should he eventually re-join the "workforce" of his previous employ, there are rules and standards by which members of the NFL must abide. But that is for consideration when and if he re-joins that association. At that time (and then only), should be break a law or even skirt the boundaries of acceptable conduct as a member of the NFL, I've got no issues with throwing the book at Vick with zero sympathy for any grief that brings upon him. For now though, Mr. Goodell should do something I for one would never ever have thought to do. He should listen to Terrell Owens.
