I recommended the Tammi Hartung book in another post. Still love it for basic growing/use info. If you're into getting serious culinary with fresh herbs, then I also like The Herbfarm Cookbook by Jerry Traunfeld. Most of the recipes aren't for general home cook, more suited to restaurant, but there are bunches of charts on uses of herbs that are very useful, and some basic recipes for such as herbed sauces, creams, sorbets, etc. |
All of the herb books in our library are the classics. For up-to date information, we rely on publications by the Herb Society of America. Some of them are freely available to the public on the HSA website, but for others you have to be a member.. |
Here is a link that might be useful: The HSA'a Essential Guide to The Beginner's Herb Garden
thanks, y'all!! i ordered the hartung and jekka books from half.com and will def check out the hsa's guide!! |

What are you looking for in a book? Growing, recipes, medicinal and other uses as well as culinary, a combination, ? It would help us suggest titles. FataMorgana |
i would say i'm looking for a good combination of all uses as well as optimal conditions for them and maybe some ideas on companion plantings... |
I recommend the internet..it is big, it is free and it is the best encyclopedia |
- Posted by fatamorgana 5/6 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 13, 13 at 15:26
But books that provide a good reference are so valuable and make it soooooo easy to access information ---- especially for new herb gardeners. For 1 all around book, I do love New Encyclopedia of Herbs & Their Uses by Deni Bown. See if you can pick up a used copy. It has both growing and using info - including culinary, medicinal, dyeing, etc. herbs. Having info about more than just your standard kitchen herbs is so wonderful. FataMorgana |
thanks fatamorgana!! i'll check those out. and there is nothing like the smell of a book!! |
- Posted by fatamorgana 5/6 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 14, 13 at 17:13
Ah, the smell and the feel of the page.... And curling up with a good book, is like sharing a cup of tea with an old friend. It is priceless. Good general references on gardening and seed starting are very useful as well to the herb gardener. FataMorgana |

In last week's Bite Me, I got into the ongoing saga of the Master family and their restaurant empire, which now consists of just one Denver restaurant: Mel's Anti-Bistro, at 1120 East Sixth Avenue. Talking with Mel and Jane and Charlie, I realized that I hadn't talked with one of their ex-cooks, Sean Kelly, in like, forever.
Kelly pulled the plug on his own Sixth Avenue restaurant, Somethin' Else, almost two years ago, and the space was turned into Fruition by a couple former members of Frank Bonanno's crew (just for the record, Bonanno once cooked for the Masters, too). Shortly after making the announcement that he was shuttering his place, Kelly decided to throw in with Mark Berzins and his Little Pub Co., which owned a bunch of bar properties around town.
This seemed strange for several reasons. First, Kelly had always been something of an iconoclast in the business — a guy who went his own way when he was in a good mood and went the opposite way from everyone else when he was feeling feisty. Then there was the fact that he'd never been a big fan of working for someone else, preferring to run his own house and his own kitchen by his own rules, even when that involved running a one-man show — as he did at Somethin' Else. And finally: Kelly was a chef, and Berzins's addresses (all of them bars, most of them small, neighborhood joints) weren't exactly drawing in crowds because of the excellence of their kitchens.
And yet Kelly took the job — overseeing the pub grub at places like the Irish Hound, Salty Rita's, Señor Rita's and Don's Club Tavern (aka Don's Mixed Drinks, aka No Kitchen in Sight). Stranger still, Kelly's been happy at Little Pub — and Berzins has been happy with the work Kelly's been doing. And though last year was a little slow for a company that's been growing into a big dog (mostly owing to Berzins's needing to gather cash — about twenty million — for his bid to snatch up John Hickenlooper's shares in the Wynkoop Restaurant Group, which ended up being bought out of a blind trust by the remaining partners), 2008 has been busy, and the next few months will be busier still.
For starters, two months ago Berzins picked up the British Bulldog, at 2052 Stout Street — the former Punch Bowl, a place now known for its stouts and lagers, and also for its strange British/Pakistani/American fusion bar cuisine and big English breakfasts during soccer season. Kelly has already visited the place and met with the chef, Berzins told me, and will likely be changing "a few things" because some items on the menu were regularly going straight into the trash at the end of the night. "Things where they throw away more than they sell," Berzins said. "The menu might tighten up a little, but it will still be that same menu."
At the same time that he was picking up the Bulldog, Berzins took over the former Hong Kong Cafe space, at 2401 South University Boulevard, which he's turning into a brand-new spot called The Pioneer. "The Pioneer is going to be great," Berzins told me. "It's the first place Sean has opened for us without someone screwing it up before him."
As for Don's, Berzins bought out the old pet store next door just so he could put some decent bathrooms in the joint. "That's going to be good news," he said, "especially for the women. Now they won't have to worry about falling through the floor when they go to the bathroom."
Wait a minute — there are women who go to Don's?
Earlier this year, Little Pub also bought Rooster's, at 120th and Sheridan in Broomfield. "I found out they were going to tear it down to make way for a Wal-Mart," Berzins explained. (Actually, Wal-Mart will be going into the space once occupied by Barber's Poultry, while Rooster's was going to be leveled to make way for something called Broomfield Corners, a companion development.) Instead, Berzins is turning it into a bar called The Old Man, which will be decorated with pictures of his dad, Vilis Berzins (who also happens to be the "creative director, creative genius" for Little Pub, his son says), as well as pictures of his grandfather and the dads and grandfathers of the staff — all raising glasses of beer, of course. And Berzins also got in on a space down at 20th and Sheridan, a former bowling alley that he's turning into another neighborhood joint called The Cooler. The gimmick? Nothing but beers in cans — another idea that came from Vilis Berzins — which sounds awesome.
"Wait till you see the place," Mark Berzins told me. "It's going to be so cool."
And as for Kelly? He's been hard at work, overseeing food-service ops at every one of the eleven-going-on-fourteen Little Pub properties. He's got a couple of lieutenants working under him now — guys he's trained and brought up to see things his way — and is starting to make "some serious inroads." The Pioneer will lead the way; that's the project Berzins sounds most excited about (not counting Don's bathrooms) — and for a change, this time he's excited about the food.

We have some very old peonies that we transplanted from our old house when we moved to a new one five years ago. They keep coming up year after year, but last year was the first time since we moved here that we got any blooms at all. I think we had a grand total of 5 or 6 smallish flowers. I've heard that peonies can live to be very old and still produce flowers, so what's wrong with mine? I fertilize in the spring, but maybe I'm not using the right stuff. Help!

Perhaps they are crowded? I had a 50+ year old hedge of peonies and I separated some three years ago. I now have enough peonies to cut and bring inside, and bring to my mother or neighbors. They remind me of friendship bread - you just keep diving the starter and it makes loaf after loaf of bread. After separating my peopnies I got 4X as many blooms and now have an additional mass planting of them. |
- Posted by bizykatbird z7 NC 281 (My Page) on Thu, Apr 21, 05 at 10:06
I had the same problem. Moved the plants to our new house and had no blooms for 5 years. I think I had them in too much shade. I moved them this spring to a full sun location. They all have buds and I am hoping they will be big and beautiful like before. I was also told not to plant them too deep, so you make want to check that. Kathy |
They need lots of sun and don't plant too deep. When I plant, I put a handfull of bone meal in the bottom of the planting hole and a shovel full of composted manure. What kind of fertilizer are you using? It's possible that it's promoting new foliage growth at the expense of the flowers. The link below is for a website for a company that grows the most beautiful peonies I've ever seen. Check out the peony care portion of their website. I've visited their farm in the spring. They have fabulous display gardens. |

Mazda B Series
rmnixon Posts: 21vonnyvonce:
Check your owner's manual regarding when the A/C comes on. I have a 98 XLT ext cab and the manual says that when it is less than 50 degrees F the A/C will only come on when you select A/C or MAX A/C. Let me know what you find out. By the way I concur with your write-up above.
Tricky Dick. -
vonnyvonce Posts: 128Tricky,
Guess your right about the 50 degree thing although it hasn't been cold enough in Massachusetts yet to try it out. depite this I still prefer complete control or perhaps like the Hondas wherre ac comes on in defrosting modes but then can be shut off if driver prefers. Best of both worlds. -
ammon3 Posts: 2Hi all. I am REALLY interested in getting an new Mazda B5000 extend cab 4x4 loaded. I am getting it over the ford simply because of the 60000 drive train warranty. Do you all know why Ford just doesn't up the warranty on its truck? The 2 are basically the same and to me, the warranty issue is huge (have a 94 voyager that would have cost me thousands were it not for that warranty.) I am thrilled to see all the positives by you current mazda owners...give me confidence that I am doing the right thing.

colin2 Posts: 2I have had the clutch replaced in my '98 B2500 for the second time. It no longer chatters but has a terrible rattle between 1500 and 2000 rpm. With the clutch disengaged, there is no rattle. The Mazda service rep from Boston agrees there is a rattle but says he doesn't know what it is. (Since the clutch was replaced this is a good place to start). He said until it becomes really noisy, I should turn up the radio and put the fan on a higher speed so I won't notice it. ( he even put this in writing).
Does anyone else have a rattling clutch problem? I'd like to hear about it. -
dizzy2 Posts: 8Find out RIGHT NOW what your state's lemon law is, get your paperwork together and make them replace that truck- trouble doesn't go away when you ignore it. My fear for you is that your dealer plans to let the lemon law period run out and then argue that you will have to pay for repairs. I drive a 91 B2200 w/ 130k and have never had problems of any kind. Your new Mazda should ride like a magic carpet...a quiet one! Best of luck!!! Dizzy2
parry Posts: 1Hi!
I own a 98 B4000 x-cab 4x4 and it has 7000 miles on it! To this date have had NO Problems except a bad wiper blade! No problem local dealer was fantastic about it and rplaced under warranty!
Previously owned a Toyota and it was a great trk also,but Toyota Dealers are Very Proud and wouldn't Deal! I enjoy the Mazda very much and it is More Comfortable to me and seems quieter also! -
jlh2 Posts: 2Just bought a loaded '99 B4000 ext cab W/4 doors. Has 500 miles. So far, so good. Traded a Dakota. The Mazda seems like a tighter truck. Less road noise and more creature comforts. The 4.0 L auto trans works great.
The good reports on this site, as well as several good reports from Edmunds (Ranger road test), Consumer Reports, and Consumer Digest helped me decide to go the Mazda route. Liked the Toyota (reputation for reliability), but I didn't think it was very comfortable. I'm fairly tall and the Toyota isn't very friendly to people over 6 feet.
I'll try to remember to give a report back in a couple thousand miles. -
mrkastni Posts: 3Hi fellow Mazda owners! I bought a 1997 b2300 last year and have logged a quick 58,000 miles. I am finally growing tired of the lack of cruise control. I checked with the local dealer and was informed that they cannot add cruise control to the 2300/5speed combination. Any ideas concerning aftermarket options? I really like the truck, but I have really been trying to talk myself into trading. Other than the above mentioned, the only other thing I wish I would have waited for was the extra 3 inched of cab room behind the seat. I am 6'1" tall and the truck is a standard cab.
Airwolf Posts: 142I'm sure they will, since they are the exact same truck. The Mazda just has a different bed, better warrant, and lower cost.
I didn't see Ranger pix, but I did see Isuzu/Chevy pics for the 2000 (U.S.) Hombre/S-10. Funny thing you know, they've been building those trucks in the caribbean for over 10 years. Crew Cab mini-trucks are nice and small for carrying, but they work down there. I don't know what took them so long to introduce them here.

tone2tone Posts: 154 Aftermakrket cruise--There were a couple of places in So Cal that offer aftermarket cruise control but my experiences with a '97 B2300, 5spd, Xtra cab is that it wouldn't work when you hit the slightest incline. The truck seems to heavy for this engine. Maybe the newer 2500's are that much stronger.
For a time I commuted 110 miles each way against traffic and would have loved cruise but just knew that the 4 banger couldn't handle it.
Otherwise it has been a solid little truck but I'm seriously considering selling it to get the 4.0 litre Ranger or Mazda with the cruise, tilt etc. unless someone has experiences with aftermarket products that could boost the power of the 2300 without messing with emissions set up. -
drctk Posts: 1hi all, I am going to do a commercial for Mazda. I have a 94 3000 with 169,000 miles and have had no problems other than a waterpump. This truck has been a workaholic for me. I have driven tons of turnpike at high speed and loads of farm roads with potholes. The truck looks and runs great and has been extremely economical to own. I look forward to my next one. I own Ford Motor stock and feel that put money back into my pocket by buying Mazda. My Ford trucks (Ranger and F150)couldn't hold a candle to this one
robbear Posts: 2I own an '87 B2000, with 106k miles, manual transmission. I've had it for 7 years and it's been real reliable, but not exactly exciting to drive. However, lately it's been running poorly. Poor gas mileage, about 17 mpg. When it is damp out or real cold the truck exibits sputtering, sometimes it idles real high (sounds/feels like 3000 rpm, I have no tachometer) and other times it idles so low that it stalls out. The low idle is also accompanied by sputtering and loss of power. I think its a problem with the carborator. I used a fuel additive, spray on carb cleaner, and tried higher octane gas and nothing seems to help. I am thinking now of rebuilding the carb or buying a new one. Has anyone rebuilt the carb on this truck? how much would a new one be? Are there any adjustments I can try that may fix the problem? Am I on the right track here?
azninvazion Posts: 15Hey all,
I am looking at a 3.0 V6 Ranger/ B-series truck. I am going to get the 3.0 v6 on either, but the only determining factor is which dealer can get it for me cheaper. I like styling of both. My question is, has there been ANY problems with the truck that ANYONE has seen? I have 2 friends with the B-Series, and they say that their trucks run great. The only catch is that they are fairly new. One is a 95 or 96 (it is the old styling) I think and the other is brand new. The 95/96 has about 60K miles, and still runs great. I know, I drove it two days ago. I would consider that pretty good. Has anyone had problems with the truck(s)? Thanks for the input.
Also, ROBBEAR, I suggest you buy a new truck. the truck is 12 years old and ran a great ride. I have a old 13 year old Toyota Pickup. The gearbox and clutch are messed up, but I figure, if it lasted my father 11 years and me 2, then I guess we got our money's worth. That is why I am going to trade the blue bomber in for a new Mazda/Ranger. So you ask: If your Toyota lasted for 13 years, why not buy another toyota? Well truth is, I believe that when my father bought the car, toyota was actually trying to serve the people with great cars and trucks. Now, it is more a business. The tacoma that is comparible to the 3.0 V6 ranger-B3000 is about 18 Grand. -

hahira Posts: 1It's good to hear all the great reviews on the Mazda B-Series trucks. I plan on buying a '99
B4000 4X4 Extended Cab at the end of this year. I think they are sharp looking trucks, and Mazda has a reputation for making solid vehicles. Has anyone out there driven one with the 5 speed automatic? Will appreciate any feedback. -
azninvazion Posts: 15Lohengrin,
I agree with you. Again I refer back to my cousin's experience and a family friend's experience. They both have Mazda B-series trucks: 2500-2months and a 3000-4 years, respectively. The reason that they purchased the Mazda was because they went to both dealers and were given a total different price range. The choice between the two was not based on personal likings or experiences (since essentially they are identical), yet it was which would end up cheaper. The argument that Edmunds sets forth about the import parts being more expensive, is valid under a normal import vs. export battle, but I fail to see the point of that due to the fact that they are both built off of the same platform assembly line. Any problems related to the electrical, power trend etc. would be parts made in America. What's the deal Edmunds? -
rich40 Posts: 4For Hahira
You are planning on buying what I bought 2 months ago. Mine has the 5 speed auto and works fine. The only problem so far is the driver seat started squeaking real bad so I pulled it out and lubed it and now everything is great. For everyone else I think the Mazda is a better buy than the Ranger. When you compare all the option the SE comes with against building a Ranger to the same specs the Ranger costs more. When I got mine the rebate was $750 more for the Mazda also. -

azninvazion Posts: 15Cougar,
My friend owns a b-3000, It is a 95. Everything works fine on the truck, including the doors. We live in South Beach, Miami. Temperatures get higher then 90 during spring, and summer is unbelieveable. My point is that most of the time it is 80+ and there is my problem.
My cousin has a 99 B-2500. The only problem that he faced was electrucal, which was fixed under warranty. He has mo problems with the doors so far, So sorry to say, you are the only person that I know with this problem. -
garthr Posts: 11Saspowered....I have driven a Mazda for an hour test and found the seats to lack lumbar support also.I have had back problems also,and being 6'4",gave up on the Mazda/Ranger duo because of the seats.Ford used to offer some killer power sport buckets with lumbar support,but that was '97 and earlier. I ended up buying a F150 with a power seat,and am very happy...lot's of room for my feet..my legs...and a excellent seat.It's a little bigger than I needed,but the 4.2v-6 gets within a couple of mpg to the 3 or 4 liter.The regular cab/short bed F150 has a shorter WB than the SC Mazda/Ranger,but still has some room behind the seat.It's too bad they don't offer better seats for the Mazda/Ranger anymore,I think they had to streamline options to cut costs,no suprise there.

Swimming has always been one of my favourite past times, and I find the benefits exceed what one may expect. I would like to point out the benefits to my muscles because of the cerebral palsy. It's great exercise, but I also feel a sense of relaxation come about my muscles.
Does anyone else notice that swimming helps them relax?

Wow — I've never seen one of those. Really beautiful bird, and well-shot, too. Great detail, even in the dark feathers on the head, and in the eye, too.
We have lots of Blue Jays but nothing green like that. Beautiful!

Slow Cooked Lemon Caper Halibut
I love making fish in my slow cooker. Not only is it way healthier than pan-frying or cooking in a bunch of butter, it always comes out super moist and flakey. This recipe has quickly become a family favorite. You could substitute another fish if desired, just make sure it's a fish that is medium-firm in density similar to halibut.

The Weekend List: The arts and culture guide to Seattle's good life
It's called Echo, a reference to the nymph from Greek mythology. But we'll probably all be referring to it as The Giant Head. As in: I'll meet you in the Sculpture Park over by The Giant Head. For weeks, the 46-foot sculpture has been carefully erected on the shoreline, its size insisting that we form an opinion. Personally, I can't wait to introduce Echo to my dog Santana who likes to bark at anything vaguely human looking.
"We must offer beauty to our society," says Echo's creator, the Spanish artist Jaume Plensa, in this short film (below). The film chronicles the sculpture's Manhattan appearance in 2011. A gift to the Seattle Art Museum from Barney A. Ebsworth, Echo will now float permanently in Seattle.
Plensa is scheduled to kick off a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday morning at Pier 70. And in case you were wondering: the face is modeled on the 9-year-old daughter of a Chinese restaurant owner near the artist's studio in Barcelona.

Apparently, it is possible to take something as exquisitely lovely as the film Once and translate it to the stage. By several accounts, a big part of the magic that fuels the Tony Award-winning musical is that every member of the acting ensemble is actually a musician. The story about the power of music and its ability to bring an Irishman and a Czech girl together also showcases how music gets created. And yes, that achingly soulful and impeccable song, "Falling Slowly" is part of the performance. Prepare to swoon.
If you go: Once, The Paramount, Through June 8. ($25-$100). – F.D.
Fly Colt Fly: The Legend of the Barefoot Bandit
Even if you weren't rooting for him (I totally was), there's something compelling about Colton Harris-Moore, the Northwest's very own Catch Me If You Can guy. After escaping from a group home at age 17, Harris-Moore lived as a survivalist on and near Camano Island for years, breaking into over a hundred homes in the Northwest, sometimes to steal and sometimes just to soak in the hot tub. He eluded police by boat, car and then, after teaching himself to fly, by plane too. After more than two years on the run, he was arrested in July 2010 in the Bahamas. His story is told through interviews, animated reenactments and security footage. It's the U.S. premiere.
If you go: Fly Colt Fly: The Legend of the Barefoot Bandit, SIFF Cinema on May 29, Egyptian Theatre on May 31. ($12)- N.C.
The Faint and Reptar
These two very energetic, very heavy bands share the bill at The Neptune on Friday, and their respective sounds couldn't be better matched. The Faints almost melodramatic post-punk is reminiscent of New Order — if New Order was imprisoned in a dark cave for a decade, stewing in its own gloom. The slightly lighter Reptar blends pop rock with an emotive, theatrical singing style somewhat akin to The Blood Brothers or TV on the Radio. I suspect that together these bands will create a nuclear meltdown of a rock show.

Coyle's Bakeshop
Rachel Coyle's pop-up bakeshop has returned in time for summer! Every Saturday at Fremont's own lovely cookbook store The Book Larder, Coyle will be selling her inventive and impeccable pastries, including the famous cretzel, the marriage between a croissant and a pretzel that you never knew you needed until you taste one. In addition, last's week's spread included a coconut caramel layer cake, vanilla and candied kumquat macaroons, and cardamom cream cheese twists. Get excited by just looking at the temptations she posts to her Facebook page. Plan to stop by mid-bike ride, or mid-garage sale sleuthing or pre-brunch.

Cardiff University's relationship with Xiamen University in China has been praised by an influential parliamentary committee as a successful example of co-operation in the global marketplace.
The House of Commons' Welsh Affairs Committee has just reported on Globalisation and its impact on Wales. Over the past two years the Committee has examined the effects of global trade on a variety of economic sectors in Wales, including employment and skills, broadcasting, food supply and production.
The report stressed the role of universities, as drivers of the knowledge economy, which is key to success in the global marketplace.
The Chairman of the Committee, Hywel Francis MP, said: "The Committee saw first hand how universities can develop global partnerships when we visited Xiamen University in southern China, which is twinned with Cardiff University. Both institutions, working together, are maximising the opportunities presented by globalisation and providing a successful model for others to follow."
The links with Xiamen University have been forged over a number of years and through high-level visits led by the Cardiff University Vice-Chancellor, Dr David Grant. Cardiff's School of City and Regional Planning runs a joint Masters programme with Xiamen and has advised the Chinese institution on the creation of its own School in this field - vital to the Chinese economy as it continues to expand. For the past two years, Cardiff University and the City Council have offered two £2000 scholarships for postgraduate students from Xiamen to come to Wales to study.
Together, the two Universities have launched the Cardiff Confucius Institute, at Cardiff's Centre for Lifelong Learning. The Institute has just marked the end of a successful first year, offering courses in Chinese language and culture to the Welsh business community, public sector organisations and the public. Cardiff also has agreements with a number of other leading Chinese Universities for joint research in cancer, sustainable development and control of water pollution.
The Welsh Affairs Committee also highlighted the role of higher education in improving the skills base to allow Wales to compete fully in the global economy. The MPs said it is imperative that the UK and Welsh Assembly Governments fully integrate the commercial potential of higher education into their policies.
Cardiff's international collaboration extends across the globe with many long-standing partners in research and teaching. In the United States, Cardiff has a number of joint projects with the National Institutes of Health, one of the world's foremost medical research centres and has just signed an agreement with the American Ivy League's prestigious University of Pennsylvania on the training of journalists. Other international collaborations include with engineers at the University of Kuala Lumpur and architects at the British University in Dubai. There are more than 2,700 international students currently studying at Cardiff, some 608 of them from China, with more than 1,000 of them studying at Cardiff Business School.
"Cardiff University has partnerships in many countries and these partnerships result in many benefits to Wales. This extends beyond joint research projects and includes teaching, and community based collaborations," said University Vice-Chancellor Dr David Grant. "It is pleasing to see our work acknowledged in this way by the Welsh Affairs Committee."
Cardiff University
Cardiff University is recognised in independent government assessments as one of Britain's leading teaching and research universities and is a member of the Russell Group of the UK's most research intensive universities. Among its academic staff are two Nobel Laureates, including the winner of the 2007 Nobel Prize for Medicine, Professor Sir Martin Evans. Founded by Royal Charter in 1883, today the University combines impressive modern facilities and a dynamic approach to teaching and research. The University's breadth of expertise in research and research-led teaching encompasses: the humanities; the natural, physical, health, life and social sciences; engineering and technology; preparation for a wide range of professions; and a longstanding commitment to lifelong learning.

Prep hair in advance.
Hollywood hairstylist Laura Dorpat, whose clients include Natalie Portman, likes to color her clients' hair two weeks before a red carpet event. Then, she applies a clear gloss right after coloring. "The gloss locks in the color while keeping the hair looking its shiniest," Dorpat explains.

Question: Are
cellular telephones an acceptable telephone instrument to meet the licensing

To: Licensed Foster Family Homes
Citation: 402.8 General
Requirements for the Foster Home
i) The foster
home shall have an operating telephone on the premises unless the supervising
agency has approved a written plan detailing the immediate and unrestricted
access to such an instrument.
Discussion: The intent of subsection 402.8(i) is that an
available means of communication be accessible in an emergency. A cellular telephone meets the requirement
as long as it is on the premises when children are present and is
Cellular telephones provide some benefits that fixed units do not, such as the mobility of the telephone in cases of an emergency. A cellular phone allows an individual to be with a child and on the phone accessing help at the same time.
A primary disadvantage
is that the batteries run down.
Alternative means can be used to assure that access can still be
allowed, such as multiple changes batteries and cords that can be used to
activate the telephone as an alternative to batteries. Such alternatives should be discussed with
the foster parent to assure that the foster parent has arranged for full access
at all times.
Response: Cellular telephones are acceptable
telephone instruments to meet the telephone requirement under 89 Ill. Adm. Code

John Carter and Silent House
John Carter
Confederate army veteran John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) has searched the world looking for…something. His travels and the items he's found have made him very rich. When he dies suddenly, his will puts his entire estate in a trust with the interest to go to his young nephew Edgar Rice Burroughs (Daryl Sabara). The will also orders 25 years after Carter's death, all of his estate goes to Burroughs, whom Carter always called Ned. Included in the effects is a journal. Inside is a fantastic tale of an alien world, a beautiful princess, four-armed natives and the mighty struggle to save a planet its inhabitants call Barsoom, but we call it Mars. The strangest thing about the story: The author swears it's all true.
The first thing one will notice about "John Carter" is how good it looks. Unlike many films that go for certain mood by shooting scenes so dark it's impossible to make out the actors and what they're doing, this movie goes above and beyond in making sure every frame is filled with light. One of the complaints about 3D is the image is darker due to the special lens and the glasses. Not so with "John Carter." Seeing what the actors are up to is no problem. The visual effects are also quite spectacular. The four-armed Martians called Tharks, are tall and with greenish skin and tusks jutting from the sides of their mouths. The human-looking Martians have vivid red tattoos all over their bodies and only wear enough clothing to make sure the film's rating wouldn't prevent throngs of kids from getting in. There's a vivid blue energy weapon and airships that look like dragonflies with iridescent wings and cute dog-like creatures with six legs that can run really fast and cities that walk across the ground. While the 3D conversion is unnecessary it also doesn't get in the way. It's all a feast for the eyes. Unfortunately, the good qualities pretty much end there.
"John Carter" is a movie that's about 70 years out of its time. The story would have been original in 1942; but in 2012 it has all the uniqueness of a convenience store. The foreigner who rescues the native people by just being better than they are has been done to death. The most glaring instances of this are "Dances with Wolves" and "Avatar," but "The Help" is also in this category. This type of story feels so old and dated, yet is done so frequently, it makes me wonder if someone owns the rights to it and gets a fee every time it's used in a movie or TV show. That dated feel also extends to the relationship between the hero, the villains Sab Than (Dominic West) and Matai Shang (Mark Strong) and Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins). While Than and Shang lack a mustache, the pair is virtually twirling one as they plot and scheme to take over Mars. Thoris is a tough and intelligent woman who is comfortable in the laboratory or on the battlefield; however, she requires the assistance of John Carter to save her world and to soothe her heart. It all feels like the 1950's Superman TV show with Carter and Thoris in the Clark and Lois roles.
The story also feels disjointed, padded and bloated. There are many scenes of travel across Mars (the landscapes are played beautifully by the rugged backcountry of Utah) leading to the next action set piece. Travel scenes are necessary but don't need to be so detailed and lovingly shot from 50 angles by crane- and helicopter-mounted cameras. The action jumps around so frequently, audience members may complain by the film's end of whiplash-like symptoms. It all makes for a frustrating film experience that leaves the audience unmoved to care very deeply about much of anything on screen.
"John Carter" is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action. Dozens of four-armed aliens are killed in battle with John Carter, their blue blood spewing. One is decapitated. Carter has to cut himself out from inside a massive beast and emerges covered in blue blood. There are numerous battles between various groups of Martians. There are a couple of instances of foul language.
Based on the 11 volume series of books by Edgar Rice Burroughs, "John Carter" has taken a long and troubled path from the page to the screen dating back to an attempt to produce an animated version of the story in 1931. That trouble has apparently followed this film. While it is visually striking, it is thematically dull, bloated and dated. It lacks any real excitement and, if Disney intends on making more installments of the book series into films to create the next money-making franchise, the stories will need to be radically changed to make them modern and relatable.
"John Carter" gets an unenthusiastic three guitars out of five.
Silent House
Sarah (Elizabeth Olsen), her father John (Adam Trese) and her uncle Peter (Eric Sheffer Stevens) are working on the family's lake house in a secluded area near a lake to get it ready to be sold. There's no cell service, no homes nearby and the nearest town is miles away. Peter leaves to get more supplies and to escape the nagging perfectionism of his brother. While Sarah is upstairs sorting various items, she hears a loud thump. She looks around for her father but he's nowhere to be found. There are more strange sounds coming from downstairs. Sarah is not alone. Could it be her childhood friend Sophia (Julia Taylor Ross) who stopped by earlier? The front door is locked and the key is missing. The windows are boarded up and Sarah has no tools to remove the boards. Someone is stalking her, there's no way to call anyone and she can't escape.
The last few years have been pretty good for truly frightening movies and all but the last five minutes of "Silent House" rank it right up with the best of the best. Unfortunately, that last five minutes turns a twisty and tense film into a huge waste of time.
Elizabeth Olsen is a very, very good actress. She can be the sexy ingénue one minute then turn on a dime into a terrified child. She squeezes every ounce of fear out of her body in "Silent House." As she hides from whatever is stalking her, the camera lingers on her face, tense with worry, forcing her breathing to calm down as to not give away her hiding place, her panic growing as the footsteps nearby get louder and her mouth agape in a pantomimed scream. Watching her deal with the bizarre circumstances she's faced with left me nearly exhausted as my stomach was constantly tight, prepared to jump as whatever was hunting her was revealed.
The movie does a great job of keeping the audience in the dark about what's happening and why. I had two or three theories rummaging around in my head based on what I saw. The real reason made sense when it became clear.
Up to that point, "Silent House" had me thinking it would get at least four guitars. The film then managed to take all that terror-based good will and flush it down the toilet and it didn't take long. While the whole movie looks like it was filmed in one continuous take, the last few seconds was enough to completely ruin everything that came before. The film is filled with haunted house/horror movie clichés that are merely crutches to put our heroine in danger; but I was willing to forgive all that because the movie was so effective at ratcheting up the tension and promised to have a blockbuster conclusion. It was at that point that "Silent House" clammed up and shut down. The film ends with only a partial resolution and with a shot of the exterior of the house. It promises something spectacular and then doesn't deliver. In other words, the film is a flick tease.
"Silent House" is rated R for disturbing violent content and terror. There are a couple of bloody victims shown with one body surrounded by an ever-growing pool of blood. There are some other scenes that might be disturbing to those with serious emotional traumas in their lives. I don't want to say what that is because it will give away the surprise.
This is the second Elizabeth Olsen movie I've seen where she is very good but the movie as a whole wasn't. The first film, "Martha Marcy May Marlene," was also was good at building tension but in an uncomfortable and domestic way. That film never came close to providing a payoff of any kind. This film brings you right to the edge of a satisfying conclusion then leaves you hanging.
"Silent House" gets a very frustrated two guitars out of five.

The Anaheim Ducks avoided arbitration with Andrew Cogliano by signing the 24-year old to a three-year $7.17 million contract on Tuesday.
Sportnet's Nick Kypreos broke down the particulars of the deal on Twitter: Cogliano will make $2.15 million next season before bumping up to $2.35 million for 2012-13, and then topping out at $2.67 million in the final year of the deal.
Cogliano, a former first round pick of the Edmonton Oilers, was acquired last week via trade. The Ducks sent a second round choice in 2013 to Edmonton.
Along with the Dan Sexton signing from last week, the Cogliano deal helps the Ducks avoid arbitration once again. The team has not had a player go to arbitration since Ruslan Salei was awarded a $2.4 million deal in August of 2004.
Cogliano became the odd man out in the Edmonton's crowded crop of young forwards, and Steve Tambellini elected to move him rather than open up the cheque book for a player that's effectively played his way out of the lineup. A change of scenery should probably serve Cogliano well. He had slipped down the depth chart in Edmonton and often found himself placed into defensive centre duties, which never really worked out for the team or the player. The tools have always been there, but we're often left wondering what could be if Cogliano managed to put it all together. Cogliano has totaled 146 points in 328 career games.

With the year 2013 just about to set in, it is time for everyone to brace up for Windows 8. The best antivirus software for 2013 which would be compatible with the more updated form of Microsoft's new operating system are as below.
Any computer which is not protected from different viruses, malwares, spywares, trojans or worms becomes extremely vulnerable. The modern threats are designed to bypass the inbuilt security measures. Hence, modern antivirus software should also come with improved level of protection to empower the system with the desired immunity.
While choosing an antivirus for the computer the user needs to consider the different criteria like its scope of protection and defense mechanism, effectiveness with adequate warning systems, simplicity in terms of installation and usage which doesn't require much maintenance. Most importantly a good antivirus must be equipped with automatic updates and its manufacturers should provide various modes of support and troubleshooting options to the users. With due consideration of all these basic and add-on features, the top 5 antivirus for the year 2013, are-
Best Antivirus Software for 2013
1) AVG Anti-Virus 2013
The 2013 edition of AVG Anti-Virus comes with a new, updated look. It does a very fine job of keeping malware blocked. The firewall is reasonably satisfactory as well. However, one problem is that some of the malware do go unnoticed. Moreover, AVG Anti- Virus 2013 is not easy to install. There is a greater probability that if this software is run on a computer which is already infested with malware, then it can do a pretty good job of keeping threats at a distance, but it cannot be very successful in fighting any. AVG Anti-Virus 2013 can clean up malware well.
2) Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013
The 2013 edition of this popular Russian software is as attractive as its earlier versions and comes with a couple of new special features. Its malware detection capacity is outstanding. Its clean up rates is good. Indeed, Kaspersky is one of the best anti-virus 2013 for Windows 8. The program is regularly updated about threats. Installing this software is also relatively easy and hassle-free. The anti-phishing capacity is good. It can also fix common problems due to malware. However, the downside is that Kaspersky can intrude upon certain files and even delete them without preliminaries. Scanning consume a lot of time. Yet, the overall safety element is very good.
This antivirus allows the user to check the reputation of a file with a single click. It has the power to disinfect even the most complex infections. It also allows the user to create a rescue disk to assist in system restoration. The most brilliant feature lies in its gaming profile which provides protection for full-screen applications. It also contains an expanded URL adviser compatibility for different browsers.
3) BitDefender Antivirus Plus 2013
As usual, the BitDefender software is extraordinarily good at malware detection. It is wonderful at removing malware too. However, it is very heavy on resources. Its protective features are very reliable indeed and the Rescue Mode is a bonus. It enables a cleaning up which is unique. Yet, the clean up can take up a very long time. There can be problems evolving out of missing Windows files too. It might even signal safe programs and services as harmful. Despite these drawbacks, BitDefender 2013, with its feature- rich program, is good at anti-phishing and general protection.
It provides enhanced security against social media threats. It can encrypt instant messenger or e-mail conversations .The antivirus can protect the computer from both online and offline threats. The safepay and anti-theft options enable the user to do banking and online shopping without any hassle. The unique USB immunizer protects against any threat from flash drives. The Autopilot option provides the user with a complete peace of mind. Bitdefender can be regarded as the best antivirus software of the year 2013.
4) Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus 2013
In certain ways, the Webroot software 2013 is different from the rest. The scans have very high speed. Even total hard drive scans take less than a minute to complete. It is excellent at protection, malware detection and clean up. Although lacking in anti-phishing features, Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus 2013 does a superb task of central protection.
5) Norton Antivirus 2013
Norton Antivirus 2013 is thoroughly revised and immensely updated. The best part is that it is very easy to install even on those systems which are already infested with malware. Norton does not signal safe programs as suspicious. It is probably one of the best detectors and removers of dangerous malware. It can block malware and has anti-phishing features too. However, Norton Antivirus 2013 takes time to complete scans. Its malware removal capability is also not as great as the other top antivirus software.
Few more antivirus options to consider in 2013:
6) Panda Antivirus Pro 2013
This security is enabled with Cloud Technology which includes an innovative concept of community where every user can contribute, thereby making the updates absolutely real time. It provides protection against all known or unknown threats. Even if the user is connected through wireless, it can block the hackers. A special protection has been provided for online banking to safeguard the users from fraudulent financial activities.
7) F-Secure Antivirus 2013
It safeguards the content of a computer and protects it during web browsing. Additional safety measures have been taken against hacking and theft of user identity. More over it can also protect the children from an uncontrolled cyber life. It blocks all the harmful websites, at the same time ensures that the computer's performance doesn't get decelerated.
8) G Data Antivirus 2013
This one uses double virus scanners and possesses excellent functionality in third party tasting. However the double scanning process does not slow down the computer substantially. The manual performance monitoring has been very much simplified as the interface has most of its functions easily accessible on the dashboard. Another important feature is the self learning finger printing and whitelisting, which can automatically analyze a file and detect a possible threat, if any.

How To Dance Kpop Is Now the 2012 EYKAs!
It's that time of year again! Time for our year end Kpop Recap. We've been doing this every year since 2008 with our "How To Dance Kpop Style" videos. We used to chose our personal favourite songs of the year, but last year we opened it up to public voting, and it resulted in Big Bang's "Tonight" winning Dance of the Year, for a video that didn't have a dance. Lame! So, this year, we decided to change things up a bit so that we can explore different categories rather than just focusing on dancing only. Think of the 2012 EatYourKimchi Awards (2012 EYKAs) like a giant Kpop Music Monday! It won't just be a boring listing of winners, we'll joke around as we usually do WHILE wearing fancy evening wear and giving out awards! Ooohhh so classy!
We'd still like to give you the chance to voice your opinions, so each category will have 10 choices that you can vote on. The winner of each category will go onto the final 2012 EYK Awards ceremony.
How to vote!
Head on over to the 2012 Eat Your Kimchi Awards page and pick the best videos from the many different categories. You'll notice that you can only vote on three categories for now. That's because we're going to release the nominees for different categories over the span of a week, just to keep it fresh, instead of overloading you with too much to vote for at once. Here's the order we'll be releasing the nominees. Check back on this page from time to time as we'll be uploading new videos for each category.
Day 1
Vote for the Best Dance of 2012
Vote for the Nastiest Dance of 2012
Vote for the Best Potential KMM of 2012
Day 2
Vote for the Best Solo Performance of 2012
Vote for the Best Rookie Group of 2012
Day 3
Vote for the Best Artsy Fartsy Music Video of 2012
Vote for the Most Bizarre Video of 2012
Vote for the Best Plot of 2012
Day 4
Vote for the Best Aegyo of 2012
Vote for the Best Outfits of 2012
Vote for Best Spudgy Look-a-like
Day 5
Vote for Best Use of Mr.Brohoho's Shop in 2012
Vote for Best Gun Usage of 2012
Vote for the Best Engrish of 2012
Day 6
Vote for the Best Female Group of 2012
Day 7
Best Overall Video
Let us know what you think of the categories in the comment section below! This has been a really really long work in progress, we've been thinking about since last year's Big Bang failure. (You know I love Big Bang, but they didn't deserve best dance…hahahaha). Each category was very carefully thought out to make sure one band didn't overlap into too many categories. We wouldn't want one band taking four categories with the same song, that would be super lame. Also, for those of you who want us to screw the votes and just do what we want to do, don't worry! We're planning on talking about our own personal faves of the year as well, but who knows, perhaps our favs will overlap with the winners! We'll just have to wait and see.
Lastly, thanks to all the Epik Nasties who helped out in the selection process. While we were away, they helped out so so much by carefully voting and debating about who should be in the top 10 categories. We'd be ripping out our hair now if it wasn't for them.

Special Features-
puwahahahaha!! i'm thinking about the idol's face when he receive the EYKA statuette for the nastiest dance!!!! xD wondering what kind of thank you video he shoud send O_o… xD
Is there anywhere to view the list of groups and song titles from the 2012 EYK Award nominations now that the voting is closed? It would be awesome if there were still links to all of the videos, even with voting closed!
Here you go: http://www.youtube.com/user/theepiknasties You can watch them in PLAYLIST MODE!!! :D
Enjoy! ^^
Where is the Best Male Group voting poll?
Who would be the contenders for a 'made Disqus their little bitch' award? Bilasa, UKISS, and Epik High…anyone else?
When voting stops will you block the winners so that it will be a surprise at who wins?
i guess you got your answer.
Are you going to host this? If so, where?
This should win awards! very clever parody of gangnam style dedicated to organ donation created by WCSU marketing club
For the Engrish category (talking to Simon here), you said you would only judge the actual lyrics not the pronunciation of the singer. Well, in Boyfriend's "Janus" the actual lyrics are "you're not a bad girl", the singers are making it sound different.
Also, you made a typo in the "Best Usage of Guns" category: you wrote "usgage". Probably not the first one to tell you that, sorry if I'm pissing you off.Overall though, you did a helluva job. Love the concept. But it would be even more awesome if you contacted the winning artists and gave them some sort of prize.
Anyhow, keep up the good work *thumbs up from a fellow Canadian* -
Woaaahhh. Your awards are now featured on each kpop groups wiki page…. EPIC :D
For those of you who want to complain about the EYKAs in style, let me give you a form where you can just copy and paste and insert the words you need into your own post.
form 1 – not nominated.
Why wasn't <name of bias> nominated for the <category> category! <bias name's song> is a far better candidate then the other 10 that you chose for the <category>.It doesn't matter that <name of bias> was nominated for <number of categories>, <name of bias> deserves to win <category> and all the others you created.
form 2 – not winning.
I'm a <name of fan group>, but I'm not being biased. <name of bias> should be winning the <name of category>. Why don't the rest of you see <reason #1> and <reason #2> make this video better than the others in the category. <name of bias> doesn't deserve to be <current standing>.
form 3 – hen house
<name of female group/solo artist> should be getting more votes! <name of fan group> only knows how to vote for <name of fan group's bias> and can't see <name of female group/solo artist>'s talent is better than <name of fan group's bias>.
I personally will be using form 3 ad nauseum from here on out..;)
What if I want to use form 1 but bias group wasn't nominated for any categories so the number of categories is 0? D: /alone in the Cross Gene bias world T^T
hahaha, then I guess you'd have to modify form 1.
Ooh I know you all are thinking right now "I wonder who NANAandLIZZYfanatic wants to win in each category?!"
Nasty Dance – I voted SISTAR as they are my fav nasty dance, although they are def not the nastiest.
BPKMM – Orange Caramel's Lipstick, c'mon now, S&M have said at least four times now that this is possibly their fav song and vid of the year and it would be an amazing review.
Best Dance – SHINee's Sherlock, I LOVE PSY's dance but this dance is just amazing and entertaining.
Best Solo – Ailee, I don't think I need to explain myself.
Best Rookie – NU'EST, this is actually tough as there are quite a few rookies I like songs by but none of them really have a couple songs I "love".
Most Bizarre – Either Son Dam Bi or Girl's Day, SDB's is more creepy, G'sD is more hilarious.
Best Plot – UV, This vid is just too retarded for me to not be voting for it! lol
Artsy Fartsy – John Park's Falling
Best Outfits – NU'EST, I like shiny…
Best Aegyo – ORANGE CARAMEL!, this is their domain, all others get out! (Goo Hara can stay if she likes)
BSLAL – HelloVenus's Lime
Engrish – Dancing King!, B1A4 is 2nd though.
Gun – MBLAQ, that is if I'm being rational, otherwise I'm voting After School
BROHOHO – KJK This was my pick for plot until this was announced, also…. RUNNING MAN FTW!!!
Best Male – SHINee, since I've gotten into K-Pop (imma Gangnam Style baby, sorry) SHINee is the male group I've gotten into the most and Sherlock the song and dance were freakin amazazing! Big Bang would be my 2nd option.
Best Female – SISTAR, unless we are including OC along w/ AS then I vote for AS.
Best Video – PSY'S GANGNAM STYLE!I mean seriously, I think less of all of you for not voting this video when you all clearly know it should win.These aren't the only people I'm voting for but if I chose the winners myself these would be it.
Uh oh, some1's bias wasn't represented enough in my nominations.
I REALLY really wanted to see Simon 1) explain what EXO was doing in their pants during History and 2) Do Hyuna Ice Cream… I really hope one wins and I hope Simon does a special skit!
did you know that eyka is listed on each nominee's wikipedia page under "awards and nominations"?
No way! lol some Nasty is editing Wiki's then, lol awesome.
Not only that, if you watched S&M's twitter, they noticed that some nasty updated the B1A4 wiki page to include (bilasa) as a way to say B1A4! In the Etymology section, there was even an explanation as to how Simon came up with the B1A4.
well i know its on B.A.P and Exo's wiki pages. I honestly didn't check the others, mianhaeyo!
Not on SHINee's either so I gave up checking ppl.
I guess some Nasty is definitely an EXOtic BABY
I understand. I suppose the Nasty who did it was an EXOtic BABY!
In most of the categories I'm voting for more than just one video, but the best overall video is the first one where I want to vote for all of them. Maybe I'll vote some of them more and some of them less. Or maybe I should concentrate on those less popular. They are sooo gooood…
This is who I voted:
1. Best Dance: PSY
2. Nastiest Dance: Roh Ji Hoon
3. Best Potential KMM: Nu'est
4. Best Solo Performance: Junsu/Xiah
5. Best Rookie: BAP
6. Best Artsie Fartsie Video: Hot Potato
7. Best Bizarre Video: Miryo
8. Best Plot: UV
9. Best Aegyo: Orange Caramel
10. Best Costumes: Epik High
11. Best Spudgy Look-A-Like: Big Bang
12. Best Use of Mr. Brohoho's Shop: T-ara
13. Best Gun Usage: M-Blaq
14. Best Engrish: Super Junior
15. Best Female Group: T-ara
16. Best Male Group: Originally just Epik High but I couldn't resist so I also voted for Big Bang in the end.
17. Best Video: Sunny Hill -
I think it'd have been a better idea to not show AT ALL the current ratings, just announce the big winners when you have the awards! A total vote count for each vote category would have sufficed, just to see that, yes, your vote was recorded. At the end of the voting period you can release charts with how the things looked at the end of each day and you're sorted. Also make the videos appear in random order on every page refresh…and VOILA! you don't get people getting crazy coz X is only in 2nd position. I guess with sharing to other social networking sites it'd be kinda impossible to do that, but that way they'll be encouraged to share your site even more >.> so…
I like all the nominations so far and I love that you disabled comments for this vote! :) -
2ne1 had another song called Be Mine. wait, you guys didnt know? :O
4Minute's Volume up should have been nominated for " Nastiest Dance" also :3 Anyway, all the categories are great :PP I can't wait to see who wins, EYKAs are amazing! <3
HyunA was in it, there were no two of the same artists anywhere.
I really wish it was possible for the celebrities to do a video acceptance speech. Is it possible to notify them of the award before you guys film the video? hahaha
Please.. save Christmas vote for Big Bang for best Male!!!!!!!!!!
where is best male group?
I think I just thought of an awesome category that S&M could do… BEST LINE EVAR award (whether the line be english, korean, or spanish). Lines such as Soy un dorito, Don't take it in the butt, and I lost my pants…I think this could be and awesome category.
that would be awesome xD
I have to agree with your opinion on BB. Even I was like "WTF just happened?? @_@"
Anyway, finally award nominees that actually make sense! -.-
aegyo n engrish category is so funny!!! *holding my laughter in my uni library"
Would have loved to have seen Xia Junsu's Tarantallegra in the best dance category. True, there were many awesome videos out there, but Xiah's is my favorite combination of awesome choreography + sexiness. And I was pleasantly surprised (like you) that he had a great, diversely ethnic group of back-up dancers with curves and what-not!
There were certain categories that were similar enough that we made it a rule not to overlap the nominees. Best Dance and Nastiest Dance were two of those categories. Tarantallegra is a great dance as well as a nasty/sexy dance, but we could only put it in one of those categories. In light of Junsu's "rub my bananas, een-tox-i-kay-shun" character on EYK and considering that his dance had more sexy/nasty elements to it than our other Best Dance nominees, we chose to put him in Nastiest Dance. I hope this explanation helps :)
Why Mordney doesn't show up, even in the backor outside making a joke? I miss him (so the U-kiss boys).
Seriously. I don't now who choose. There are so many good Engrish in this awards XDDDD
It's hard to pick just one of them.
I won't be voting here….I'll be voting at the FIRST AND ORIGINAL internet Kpop awards show!!! Good luck with your "idea" that just suddenly grew this year. What a co-inky-dink! NOT!!!
Shoo troll.
For those of you guys saying U-KISS should be on there, think about it, their videos this year don't fit in any of the categories right now except for best nasty dance, but the other dances are wayy nastier hahaha..don't get me wrong, I'm a KissMe, but I can see why they weren't nominated…well, here's hoping for best male group and overall video!
LOL. u guys should have beautiful target for best engrish.
Ahhh, now all my favorite lists have been posted. Loved watching all of the nomination videos but the aegyo video was a little difficult to understand.
And now things get serious lol, hopefully these last ones are actually competitive.
I'm not worried about competitiveness anymore. Actually, I couldn't care less right now about who the winners are. I'm just happy with the nominees and that S&M got to briefly
pantalk about those videos. That has been the best part of the EKYAs for me.
Oh wow, the Best Engrish category. Almost spat tea all over my laptop!
Love to look at the voting lists. All those categories and in only 2 lists do we have a girl band higher than 3. And the only reason the Aegyo list has a group at 3 is because there are only 2 boy bands in the list. HAHAHAHAHAHA
I can totally understand Bilasa being on a second place in aegyo, but B.A.P. winning in this category is like a joke to me. http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/126/314/3cd8a33a.png?1306264975
B.A.P winning best aegyo would be so ironic. Imagine the fiercest boy band this year winning in the aegyo category (Insert face palm here)
Oh believe me I saw the irony as well. I guess I'll have to take to calling them BAP when they're fierce and Bunnies Are Puffy when they do stuff like Stop It. -_-
My mind still cannot wrap itself around the idea of BAP receiving an award for Best Aegyo of all things. Are we in an alternate universe? -
Couldn't agree more. Eventually Bunnies indeed Are Puffy.
Must have lots of BAP fans who frequent this site.
BIGSTAR are also dudes but yeah pretty sad.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Lisabeth!
Facts about Lisabeth
- Breed: Maine Coon
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Medium
Lisabeth's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with kids.
Very sweet mom was found with newborn kittens in a garage. Lisabeth is a quiet, calm and very affectionate young adult kitty who loves to sit quietly with her people. Email email@example.com
Other Pets at LMN Feline Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lisabeth, a Huffman Maine Coon cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Maine Coon for sale in Huffman, or seeking a Maine Coon cat from a breeder in Huffman.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Huffman already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Huffman breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Maine Coon breeders who help with Maine Coon rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Huffman paves the way for another one to be saved.

Let $P^{k,s}(x,B)$ be a transition kernel from $X_{k}$ to $X_{s}$. A measure $\mu$ is called invariant with respect to the transition kernel, if $\mu P^{k,s} = \mu$, where $$ \mu P^{k,s} (B) = \int P^{k,s}(x,B) \mu(dx) $$ Here $P^{k,s} = P^{0,s-k} \equiv P^{s-k}$ and I received that $P^1(x,B) = Q(B-x)$. Furthermore, $$ \pi P^{1} (B) = \int Q(B-x) \pi(dx) = \int \pi(B-x) Q(dx) $$ So we can see that if $\pi$ is rotation invariant, then $\pi$ is invariant measure ($\pi P^1 = \pi$). But Lebesgue measure is not probability measure. So how can I show that untrivial probability invariant measures dont exist?
