It looks like your rose garden is building up a good head of steam now, Kathy. You have a number of roses that have been on my wish list for quite awhile. Sombrueil and Souviner de Maimaison are two of my favorites. Tuscan Sun, Brass Band, Abraham Darby...what colors. I have that Golden Celebration. I saw one photo of a yellow bloom facing down without a name and I think it must have been Golden Celebration because my blooms are always hanging down. I love the buds on Fair Bianca and Mary Rose. Which is the most fragrant so far? What a lucky duck you are!! Not that they just 'appear' in your garden. I know they have to be a lot of work, so enjoy every minute! :-) They are all exquisite! Sorry to hear about 90 degree temperatures already. pm2 |
What a glorious sight to behold on a rainy CT morning! Thanks so much for this, Kathy. Mart |
It must smell heavenly there! But you need to back up and show us what is around the roses.... :-) |
I love them all! I do like the peachy-pinks best, though :) You are mastering your camera - and how fun that must be with such beautiful subjects. I agree with Woody - we need a little virtual WALAT in your garden. Saucy |
Kathy! your roses are just gorgeous! I'm so jealous, I just can't grow them well here. I get a few but nothing like this. Beautiful photos. Deanne PS do you have any more pics of that lovely small flowered yellow rose? |

Lovely loverly Spring treat, Kathy -- and you're doing wonders w/ your camera -- to even see the veining in the roses; I can almost smell them!! Thanks for sharing. -cindy |
Kathy, your roses are gorgeous. They remind me of my sister's in Idaho. Her house is bordered by lovely tea roses. I am almost throwing in the towel on roses at this place. I can't even succeed with wild ones! I have attempted various varieties, and on both own-root and grafted. None succeed. I wish I could smell yours. :-) Marian |

Kathy, they are beauties. You are the rose Queen. I can only enjoy my knock outs, before and after the Japanese beatles that is. The beatles only arrived here last summer but I'm sure they will be back. Norma |
Kathy, what a beautiful collection of roses you have. I saw a few that I've tried (and killed) in the past. You most definitely have the touch. I really enjoyed seeing all of your pretties! Thanks for sharing them with us. Eden |

Thanks everyone for such nice comments- I am really enjoying photographing the roses and hope to get a macro lens someday ! Deanne, are you inquireing about a rose in this slideshow or another I've posted before ? I have numerous pics of Lady Banks which is a small yellow rose, but I did not include here. I have several yellow roses, but most are 'full size' so to speak ! Saucy and Woody, I will try to get some photos that show the roses as garden features- I have not experimented much much with these types of shots yet (still on auto settings, lol) but I took a bunch on my lunch hour today and will see how they look later.. LOL Norma, Beatles/Beetles ! Are we children of the 60's or what ! I was pretty excited to see J. beetles in action at IU6 last summer (we don't have them here) and was horrified and fascinated at the same time. Marian. I think deer are very fond of roses.. You may envy my roses but I envy your wonderful shrubs and trees ! PM, my most fragrant roses so far are Reinne des Violettes, Bolero , and Madame Issac.. Thanks again.. I confess that I have numerous that have yet to open. I'm afraid it's going to be But Wait, Theres More ! Kathy in Napa |

This was a last minute quick getaway and we stayed for two nights and it was blissful! I would recommend to anyone! Sheryl the owner is genuinely sweet and caring! The B&B is amazing! The breakfast to die for! Everything we could have asked for and more. The nightly jacuzzi dip under the stars in the garden...it was just all around perfect. Thank you Sheryl!! Martin and Alaina

We did an overnight ski and stay at the 1795 Acorn Inn and it was a wonderful experience. We found our room to be clean, comfy and restful, and hitting the outdoor hot tub after a day on the slopes at nearby Bristol Mountain was just right for some tired knees, followed by a delicious breakfast next morning. Sheryl the Inn keeper really does have all the details down just right for making a perfect stay at her B&B. It just doesn't get any better than this. Thank you Sheryl!

Just spent the weekend up at the Acorn Inn! Our stay was absolutely fabulous. Sheryl's warmth, hospitality, and attention to detail was amazing! The inn is absolutely adorable. Breakfast was to die for. If you're heading to the Finger Lakes area make sure to stay at the Acorn Inn!
4,6 sur septembre 03, 2011
It's a small B&B with large amenities ... the innkeeper, Sheryl, sure knows how to pay attention to detail for luxury. She doesn't miss a trick - even in the small room, there's a built-in night light, a shoe shine kit, a fire place and it goes on and on. Sheryl goes out of her way to make sure your needs are fulfilled from the moment you walk in to the hugs when you leave. Really lovely experience!

We loved our stay at 1795 Acorn Inn. We were vacationing with friends from New Zealand who had never stayed at a B & B before. Our host, Sheryl, was so friendly and made us feel right at home. Sheryl is a fabulous host, paying attention to every little detail and going above and beyond expectations to ensure we had a wonderful visit. The breakfast's were some of the I've had. This location is close enough to the wine trails and the state parks. Darlene Ruck & Tony Ansems

My husband & I just checked out today and we can't say enough about the beautiful inn and the phenomenal knowledgable innkeeper, Sheryl. She anticipated anything a guest could want. The inn itself is absolutely beautiful and relaxing in the garden with the hot tub after a day visiting the wineries and shopping was divine. When we left today, I couldn't help but be a little depressed knowing my breakfast tomorrow will not rival Sheryl's. My husband and I are frequent guests to B&B's and we highly recommend this inn.
5 sur mai 17, 2011
Having traveled extensively to the region for the last four years as my kids have moved back and forth for college, we've stayed at many hotels and BnB's in the region. The Acorn Inn is by far the best - Sheryl is a remarkable host, gracious, warm and inviting - she goes above and beyond to ensure her guests are well-cared for, down to the smallest details. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, the overall home is absolutely charming and downright cozy, the ideal place to relax after a long day of wine tasting (or moving your kids in and out of HWS!). A must-stay for anyone in the area.

We just returned from a 3 night stay at the 1795 Acorn Inn. We couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate our anniversary. The inn is beautiful, comfortable, and quiet. Sheryl took very good care of us. Our breakfasts were a treat for the eyes as well as the stomach! As an added bonus our fellow guests were charming and friendly. A totally wonderful experience from beginning to end.
4,6 sur septembre 07, 2010
Sheryl was very hospitable and provided a wonderful weekend for us. We normally have trouble sleeping in other beds, but this one was just right. The jacuzzi was very relaxing and her cooking was outstanding. I would recommend this B&B to others.
4,8 sur juin 22, 2009
My husband and I came to the Acorn Inn after a 6 day conference. It was the perfect place to relax and be pampered. We stayed in the large and lovely barn suite with its own private garden. Sheryl has anticipated every possible need and fulfills it with style. The food was delicious and plentiful. I would highly recommend the Acorn Inn.

ADAM: The Jacob and Renesmee situation, if I understand correctly, is that Jacob "imprinted" on an infant hybrid vampire/human girl, and now he's bonded to her for life, yes? So it's basically a consolation prize to Team Jacob: He can't have Bella, but he can have her daughter (when she's of age)? And Renesmee has zero choice in the matter? I have that right?
What's so weird about that?
I mean, is it any weirder than the Amazon Tyra Banks vampire who's a walking holodeck and doesn't apparently need to bundle up in the wintry north even though all the other vampires do? Is it any weirder than the fact that Bella's father apparently is okay with his daughter joining a commune of Gap models who all appear roughly the same age, and that he doesn't seem to notice that his grandaughter has grown three feet in what appears to be six months? Is it any weirder than the sad fate of everyone's hair once they become a vampire? I mean, seriously, Denise, what is the deal with the five alarm awfulness of vampire hair styles? Is it that they can't see themselves in the mirror?
Wow, that got a little ranty. But I guess now is as good a time as any for me to just say in general that there is some strange things going on in the Twilight universe.
DENISE: 1. You basically have the whole imprinting situation exactly right. Renesmee technically has a choice, though. However, because Jacob is so devoted to her, the idea is that she wouldn't choose otherwise. (Although, at the end of Breaking Dawn the book, Edward suggests that the other half-vampire/half-human Nahuel might be a little bit of competition for Jake.) But Emily stayed with Sam even when he ripped half her face off, so as long as Jacob doesn't f— up to much, it should be fine for him and Nessie. I do wish they would have flash-forwarded to the scene where Jacob tells her that he used to makeout with her mom, though.
2. Vampires can be half-naked anytime they like because they aren't affected by the cold. They run the same temperature all the time, no matter what the conditions.
3. Well, Charlie does notice that Renesmee grows — he's just ignoring it, really. Charlie's trying to live by their rules, which is to say that he can't really know anything. (Otherwise, he'd have to be killed or turned into a vampire himself.) He shows a little trepidation when he first sees Bella, but I think he's just happy to have her around, still. And I don't think he approves necessarily — but it wasn't his decision. She is 18. (Eternally, but an adult nonetheless.)
4. The wigs are just plain bad.
What else can I clear up for you?
ADAM: Um, who are Emily and Sam? Wait, are those the wolves who helped out Jacob but we never saw transform back into human form? That was definitely confusing. It seemed like Jacob was the only werewolf who wasn't always a wolf!
And why does Bella call Charlie, "Charlie," and not "Dad"? Does it have to do with Bella's missing (and presumably dead) mother? I did think that all the Charlie stuff was the most relatable part of the movie for me; as the only regular old mortal human in the film, his befuddled, go-along-to-get-along reaction to everything was pretty much how I felt about the whole experience too.
DENISE: Oh dear. Sam is the big black wolf, the dude who came to shake Jacob's hand when he was in the garage. He's the head of the wolfpack that Jacob left. Emily is the woman he imprinted on. He slashed her face up badly — on accident — but she still stayed with him. She doesn't really show up in this movie at all.
Maybe Bella calls him Charlie because she was never around him much when she was younger. In the book, she usually calls him "Dad" to his face and Charlie in her mind. Or it could be a Northwest thing? I lived in Seattle briefly as a kid, and we called all our teachers by their first names. And yes, Charlie is the best. I loved him! "Are you trying to get rid of me?" Pause. "Because it's working!" Billy Burke is by far the best part of all the movies.
Let's move on to the ending. What did you think? The novel ends without a fight, although they do talk about one happening. Was it effective? Would you have been disappointed if nothing had happened?

Fibrocystic Breast Disease: Treatment
Fibrocystic disease occurs when there are fluid-filled cystic lumps of duct tissue. These lumps are surrounded by a scar-like capsule of tissue in the breasts.
Although harmless, these lumps can sometimes be the site of pain ( mastalgia) that recurs late in each menstrual cycle. The greatest problem with fibrocystic disease is telling the difference between this condition and breast cancer.
Breast Cysts
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The glandular tissue of the breasts cycles monthly with menstrual periods. It enlarges to prepare for a pregnancy, and then shrinks if one does not occur. This cycling causes cysts and excess fibrous tissue to build up. Virtually all women will have some form of this condition during their reproductive years. However, most women will not seek treatment.

GUMLA: Three persons were killed in separate incidents within the last 24 hours.
A former Maoist was gunned down by PLFI activists on Sunday evening under Ghaghra police station, a former PLFI man was killed by a criminal gang while a villager was hacked to death by a fellow villager at Iro village on Monday. Police held one person from Iro village on Monday.
According to police, Pradeep Oraon, formerly with CPI(Maoist), who later joined PLFI, was shot by three PLFI rebels led by area commander Sukra Oraon at Duko village on Monday evening. Pradeep (35) had gone to his village with a youth on a motorcycle on Sunday and was standing near a village bridge. Suddenly Sukra reached there along with two of his armed men, said Ghaghra OC J Singh. Before he was shot, Pradeep and Suktra clashed for some while his associate fled, he added.
Pradeep had formed his own group after parting ways with PLFI too some time ago, Singh said adding mutual enmity seemed to be reason behind the incident.
In another incident, a former PLFI cadre, Binod Oraon, who had surrendered in 2010, was gunned down by a suspected rival criminal group at Rakamsera village around 2 pm on Monday, said inspector Amish Hussein after rushing to the spot.
In the third incident, an elderly person, Jhinguwa Oraon, was killed by his fellow villager Hosna Oraon at Iro village about 10 am on Monday.
Police arrested the killer who alleged the deceased used to abuse him but villagers refuted his allegation saying he was a gentleman who used to draw water for local hotels at nearby Toto village, according to police.

Top 5 facts on US Military Oil Consumption
The US Military budget was raised to US$532.8 Billion for the year 2007, around 3.7% of the country's GDP. This is more than the combined defense budget of China, Russia, UK, India, Japan and the next 10 countries which top in world military spending. To keep all the tanks, ships, aircrafts and Humvee's moving in battle's around the world takes a lot of fuel. Did you know that the Abrams tank can travel less than 0.6 mile per gallon of fuel.
Here are a few facts on the US Military Oil Consumption.
5) Over half of the fuel transported to the battlefield is consumed by support vehicles, not vehicles engaged in frontline combat. The top 10 battlefield guzzlers in the U.S. Army, only 2 are combat vehicles (the Abrams tank and the Apache helicopter). The other eight carry fuel and supplies.
(Continued after the jump)
4) The Department of Defense (DoD) per capita energy consumption of 524 trillion Btu is 10 times more than per capita energy consumption in China, or 30 times more than that of Africa. Only three countries consume more oil per capita then the DoD.
3) In 2006 Air Force consumed around 2.6 billion gallons of jet-fuel which is the same amount of fuel U.S. airplanes consumed during WWII (between December 1941 and August 1945). The mighty B52 bomber (pictured above) consumes 3300 gallons per hour, the F16 Falcon burns 800 gallons per hour and the KC-135 Statotanker an aerial refueling tanker aircraft consumes 2650 gallons per hour.
2) The Department of Defense is the single largest consumer of petroleum in the U.S and the US military is the biggest purchaser of oil in the world. In 2006 the US Military consumed 117 million barrels or 320,000 barrels per day.
1) With upto 15 gallons per day per deployed soldier in January 2007 the American GI is the most energy-consuming soldier ever seen on the field of war.
And then we wonder why are the fuel prices so high. it sucks that the rest of the world has to pay for america's continous refusal to do anything about reducing their per capita usage and dependance on oil. i just read that toyota despite their green image are also fighting the latest euro requirements on fuel efficiency simply because they too make their most profits from the bigger gas guzzlers. the US shud make a start with signing the kyoto protocol for once, and australia its waggy dog will of course follow. i reckon that most of the oil coming from iraq gets routed straight to alaska. the only reason i support china , a communist nations, growth is that a lone superpower is simply not good for the planet. another one will help keep it in check.
I hate America like everyone else, any you citizens of USA, doing nothing to stop it! We'll all suffer together from the mistakes your government is making.
You guys are just a bunch of wussies. When we're gone, someone tougher than you will eat you alive.

In case anyone has noticed that I've not posted anything the last two nights, it's because it's upgrade time for my computer. We had bought new processor chips. Mine was the only one that hadn't been installed. My wife thought that her graphics card was going out, so she had bought a Radeon 7500 that she later decided that she didn't need. And last week, we bought a 120 Gb HDD for each computer. She now has three HDD's in her computer, a 120 Gb, an 80 Gb, and a 20 Gb. I'm only going to have three in mine temporarily but my 30 Gb can't be found by Windows98. I can copy the contents to my 80 Gb HDD but that will have to happen over night. I will partition the 120 Gb for three operating systems. The 80 Gb will be storage of all files that are not associated with any software. That will include photographs, text documents, web pages, movie clips, drawings, and designs. My third HDD will be formatted and used for a project that is planned for later. I still have to install two operating systems and alot of other software that I haven't gotten to yet. I've not even gotten my favorites installed into Opera yet. Tey're on the hard drive that can't be seen.
I'm ready to pull my hair out! G'day,

From the subject of your post, Scott, I thought there was some sort of pond forum fight going on! :p My DH has built 3 computers for his personal use, and every time he starts installing stuff, I run for the hills.

Hnladue, I will also install XP and Mandrake as soon as I get the kinks worked out in the system. I am more comfortable with Windows 98 but I have software that will only work in a OS like XP. When more software comes out for Linux that will fit my needs, I'll use it more. I finally got the 30 GbHDD to show but now my computer is locking up fro fun. Oh well. G'day, |

Scott What wattage is your power supply. Most computers come with a power supply that has just enough wattage to run the components installed when you bought it. As you add more and more peripherals to your PC system - extra hard drives, CD drives - anything that you plug into your motherboard - you put increasing strain on your power supply. The more strain the power supply must bear the more likely it is that you will have problems with inconsistent levels of power. When your system is deprived of a consistent stream of reliable power it will be prone to random hardware failures, bizarre errors and system crashes. |

Mucky, I'm running a 400 watt power supply. I will be back down to two HDD's after this weekend. My wife has the same set-up as mine and running a 350 watt power supply with no problems. She does have twice as much memory than I do. G'day, |
Scott, I feel so sorry for you...oh wait, aren't you the guy who reminded us Northern Ponders all winter of Florida's sunshine, etc.??? Well then..... |

Katie Morag
The Byre's festive offering is aimed at the very young - it was like watching a broadcast of Play School. Adapted from the Katie Morag stories by Mairi Hedderwick, this Mull Theatre version was further adapted to include some Christmas references which will have to be removed again as it takes to the road in the new year.
Its message is not that good triumphs over evil, but that family love has no room for materialism - as the American cousins discover on their trip to the mythical Scottish isle of Struay.
Morag takes them on a tour of the island in search of treasure - the eventual successful discovery being that blood is thicker than shopping malls, computer games and television.
Sally Reid was infectiously cheerful as Morag and struck up an instant rapport with her young audience, as did Sheena Penson and Annette Staines as Grannie Island and Grandma Mainland.
After the initial shock of finding only one shop on the island and no signal for their mobiles, the American siblings - Pamela Byrne (Princess) and Allan Gilmour (Dude) - soon got over their boredom as they donned pirate outfits to follow the treasure trail. Lawrie McNicol was their father who had colluded with the grannies to set the children off on their adventure.
Gordon Dougall and Lisa Grindall wrote the simple musical numbers that proved a hit with the youngsters who joined in enthusiastically in great yo ho ho fashion, and the cast and crew expertly handled the many scene changes designed by Robin Peoples.

SD 230 mulls changes in enrollment boundaries
BY STEVE METSCH firstname.lastname@example.com September 6, 2012 7:52PM
Updated: October 9, 2012 2:39PM
Parents who moved into communities served by Consolidated High School District 230 thinking that their children would attend a certain high school may be in for a surprise.
The District 230 board is considering boundary changes that would affect enrollments at Andrew High School in Tinley Park, Sandburg High School in Orland Park, and Stagg High School in Palos Hills.
The changes, which would be optional for a three-year transition period, are being considered because of the vast enrollment disparity projected in four years, according to a news release from the district. Projections for the 2016-17 school year have 1,807 students enrolled at Andrew, 3,121 at Sandburg, and 2,314 at Stagg.
To restore balance, the district is looking at a plan in which students at Tinley Park's Central Middle School would be assigned to Andrew, but the next three incoming freshman classes could opt to go to Sandburg instead. That choice would not be available for current fifth-graders and those younger. They would be assigned to Andrew, district spokeswoman Carla Erdey said.
Students at Palos Park's Palos South Middle School who live in an "option zone" that lets them pick between Stagg and Sandburg still would have that choice for the next three years. But that choice would disappear for current fifth-graders and those younger, who would be assigned to Stagg, Erdey said.
A special board meeting to discuss the proposed changes is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Sept. 18 at the district's administration center, 15100 S. 94th Ave. in Orland Park. The board is expected to vote on the recommendations at its Sept. 27 meeting (7 p.m.) at Andrew, 9001 W. 171st St. in Tinley Park.
The district also is accepting input via emails, which can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Andrew and Stagg will host events welcoming residents to learn about those schools on dates yet to be announced.

Lowes/Home Depo may have all if not most of that you listed and cheaper than mail ordering. |
Come on over to the Growing from Seed forum. Many sources discussed there. Novosel Enterprises is commonly recommended. Dave |
Local garden centers and/or farm stores. |
Here in the south we have ACE Hardware, they carry starter trays, heating mats, etc this time of year. Its where I get most of my starting supplies and soil from. |
Thanks everyone!! My local HomeDepot/Lowes only carry the "kits" so that's why I was looking for an online source that had more options. Dave - That's the company that was recommended to me a few years back! I just couldn't remember the name. Thanks!!! |

For second quarter 2003, the Philips Group recorded a net profit of EUR 42 million (U.S. $47.4 million), or EUR 0.03 per share, compared to a loss of EUR 1,355 million, or EUR 1.07 per share, in the same period last year. Second quarter 2003 included special items of positive EUR 5 million, compared to last year's special items, which amounted to negative EUR 1,539 million. The company reported that sales decreased by 18 percent over the same period last year, negatively impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar and related currencies (13 percent), the downward effect from various divestments in 2002 (4 percent), and lower consumer spending. Income from operations was a loss of EUR 26 million, including EUR 84 million in net special charges (before tax), versus a profit of EUR 165 million last year, which included EUR 96 million in net special gains (before tax). Cash flow from operating activities was reported as an inflow of EUR 148 million. During the quarter, the net debt position decreased by EUR 133 million to a level of EUR 5.4 billion, said the company.

LISTEN: Bottomley Denies Elm House Child Abuse Rumours
Tory MP Peter Bottomley, who successfully sued the Mail on Sunday for libel three decades ago over untrue accusations about sex abuse at a children's home, has spoken out about the persistent rumours about him that are doing the rounds on conspiracy theory websites. Talking to the Today programme, Bottomley denies ever having visited Elm Guest House, where a VIP paedo ring is alleged to have existed, and warns he will sue anyone who makes untrue allegations about him online:
"People are trying to restart [the rumours], people are trying to somehow to connect it to the Elm Guest House, a place I've not been to, where I've not been involved. And I give this public warning: if any substantial publisher links me in any defamatory way, they can expect the same kind of action as the Mail on Sunday got."
Guido's inbox is full of readers demanding that this blog publishes the names of alleged paedophiles that are being circulated online. As Bottomley's warning makes clear to people who did not get the message even after the McAlpine case, no names can or will be named unless there is more evidence than the online ramblings of a conspiracy theorist…

Gays Mills, Wis, Sep 25, 2012 -- CONTACT: Kevin Tuttle (715) 345-7600
USDA Rural Development Deputy Under Secretary Visits the Wisconsin Community of Gays Mills, Tours Areas Where USDA Provided Flood Recovery Assistance
GAYS MILLS, Wis., – Sept. 25, 2012 – USDA Rural Development Deputy Under Secretary, Doug O'Brien, visited Gays Mills Village, today to see firsthand the many improvements the area has undergone since floods from the Kickapoo River ravaged the region in 2008. O'Brien toured the community center, fire department and the new residential and commercial district, all of which benefitted from USDA funding.
"USDA, along with other federal, State and local entities, is proud to have partnered with the residents of Gays Mills as they worked to rebuild and relocate their community," said O'Brien. "Seeing the recovery that has taken place is a testament to the determination and perseverance of members of this village."
USDA Rural Development awarded a Rural Business Enterprise Grant to help businesses in the flood plain of the Kickapoo River to relocate. In addition, USDA awarded the Redevelopment Authority of the Village of Gays Mills a Community Facilities Loan for the relocation and construction of a village community center located in the new central business district.
The community center houses the village offices, library, a community incubator kitchen, meeting room, an office for the commercial district manager and facilities for a farmer's market. USDA also awarded two Community Facilities Disaster Assistance Grants to the community. One was used to purchase a pumper truck for the village fire department; and another grant helped purchase a pick-up truck with a plow. Additionally, Gays Mills received a Water and Waste Disposal grant for water system improvements and relocation of utility operations.
While in the area, O'Brien also visited the Wormfarm Institute, a non-profit organization, working to build a sustainable future for agriculture and the arts by fostering links between people and the land. To promote the development of a strong, indigenous culture, the Wormfarm Institute creates, sponsors and hosts exhibits, performances and projects that engage the surrounding community, and utilize the talents of local artists.
Over the past year, USDA Rural Development invested $558 million throughout rural Wisconsin and helped a record number of residents receive funding for economic development projects and quality of life improvements. The agency's investment in Wisconsin helped create or retain an estimated 2,000 jobs; aided 2,900 families in buying their own homes; and assisted more than 200 communities in improving community facilities and upgrading local infrastructure.
President Obama's plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President's leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America's economy, small towns and rural communities. USDA's investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values. President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack are committed to a smarter use of Federal resources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural communities.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has an active portfolio of more than $172 billion in loans and loan guarantees. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.

Mother Nature is bound to wreak havoc with just about everyone this winter. Snow, ice, rain and more tend to result in commuting delays, cancelled meetings, business shutdowns, school closings/childcare issues, and so forth. Now is as good a time as any to take precautionary measures and check out how your business communications system can help you stand up to Mother Nature.
When the weather is bad, the last thing you should do is get in your car. Instead, you have the option to work at home. If you approach it correctly, a communications system such as Avaya IP Office can help you weather the storm without missing a beat. Here's how:
- Set up your office phone at home: Any employee in your business can easily set up their office extension in their home, either using an IP phone or a softphone software on a laptop/PC. All you need is an internet connection to handle your calls, and all your speed dials and other short cuts will be present – callers won't know the difference.
- Activate a new greeting: If the weather is going to impact business performance and you want to let callers know, take the opportunity to remotely update the greeting on your business' auto-attendant.
- Call overflow: Do you have an additional office in another location that is not affected by the severe weather? Then use that office to handle calls for the office that is closed. With Avaya IP Office, calls can automatically be diverted to the other office or location (callers won't even notice).

A recent polemic featured on Law.com, builds on a familiar theme - that lawyers are pricing themselves out of certain significant markets in this country, including particularly emerging growth finance, a/k/a venture capital.
The irony is that service businesses generally have made astonishing progress in enhancing efficiency and output while, coincidentally, reducing costs and prices. The question is whether the law business is keeping pace at a level which is consistent with the potential which modern technology and system design hold out.
I have to confess a bias. I have written on this subject, in a 1978 book entitled The Law Business to which the publisher added a tagline, A Tired Monopoly. I wrote this book while on a sabbatical, on the faculty at Stanford Law School, when I had a chance to sit and reflect on what I saw going on around me. My opinion has not changed in that regard. And the issue was reviewed in detail in 2000 by an English academic, Richard Suskind, in a profound monograph, Transforming The Law … a book which I find enormously instructive and influential.

Bed Bugs Treatment
There are a lot of Bed bug treatment methods being used by many professional pest control companies, but the most popular is the steam treatment and insecticide with a mixture of d-Phenothrin, which is a non systemic insecticide that is effective through direct contact and as a stomach poison. D-Phenothrin is usually used in mist, power spray, thermal fog, ULV and aerosol applications to control human lice and Bed bugs. Other pest control companies have also began to use Chlorfenpyr that is non repellent and effective for a certain amount of time.
Heat Treatment
Bed bugs cannot survive heat and they are easily killed when they are exposed to temperatures of 115 degrees Fahrenheit (45°C) and over. The application of heat treatment requires the heat to be exposed as quickly and suddenly as possible otherwise, the change of temperature as it increases will allow the Bed bugs to make a run for it and escape. This can even cause Bed bugs to move into a next door neighbor in a building or another room in your house. You should also bear in mind that there are certain materials that are more resistant to heat unlike others such as your mattress, so if they are present in your room, the temperature will not be as hot compared to its surroundings. The heat should be about 115 degrees Fahrenheit and not more than that.
The most common heat application that is used in treating bed bugs is ThermaPure. This is a heat treatment that requires the pest control company to insulate your entire home or apartment and set up heaters throughout the home. The company will then bring the temperature inside the home to 115 degree Fahrenheit for a certain amount of time. Once the specific temperature has been reached for the optimal amount of time, the heaters are then turned off. The heat from the Thermapure system will have killed off any bed bugs inside the home.
This option is one of the more costly treatments that is available on the market. If the company uses the right procedures removal of the bed bugs is almost assured because of the heat in the home. If you are looking for a method that will eliminate your bed bugs without have to spray chemicals in your home this system is a good option.
Cold Treatment
Cold treatment involves a chemical free and non toxic solution to eradicate Bed bugs. As Bed bugs become resistant to pesticides in time, they aren't so resistant when the cold treatment is used. In other countries Cryonite is used and this consists of an attached nozzle on an oxygen tank on wheels. Cryonite is carbon dioxide snow that can freeze Bed bugs upon contact. Bed bugs are killed once the snow crystals come in contact of their bodies and are converted into CO2 gas. This reaction requires energy retrieved from the Bed bug therefore resulting to ice crystallization from their cell water.
This certain treatment is highly considered as treatment can be done discreetly and even in the kitchen where food is being prepared and evacuation from the area is not required as well. There is no chemical smell or dust that can fall on the surfaces thus not requiring much cleaning. When used in businesses, regular operations can push through while the treatment is being done. However, clothes will have to be bagged and washed with hot water, clean up certain areas and vacuum.
Items with Bed bugs can be placed in a zip lock bag into the freezer with a temperature of 26 F for a day. The colder it is the less time it will require to kill Bed bugs. Some hostels abroad have deep freezers for hotel guests who have experienced bed bugs. This is great for treating items like suitcases and backpacks that are more difficult to thorough clean and wash.
It is the most common method of pest control that can eliminate all stages of Bed bugs; however it may not be able to eliminate all the Bed bugs in the infested area. It is recommended that insecticides be used after a steam treatment allowing the insecticide to eliminate any Bed bugs that the steam treatment may have missed out.
As not all steamers work the way you would want results to be. It would be best to use a steamer that produces low vapor but high temperature dry steam. A steamer having a continuous flow is better to avoid reheat phases. It should also have a flow of multiple jet steam beads and not too powerful that would cause the Bed bugs to blow further into the cracks and cervices.
The steam treatment has to be done as closely as possible to the Bed bugs and the steam head must progress along of at least 30cm for every 15 seconds. The mattress or a pull out bed is the first place you should begin with carefully aiming for the seams and any other attachments it may have, couches and chair cushions must be aimed as well along its seams and buttons and strings. After ensuring that all these have been treated you can proceed to its surrounding areas. Just be careful not to have contact with electrical outlets or wires.
Smoke Treatment
Other pest control companies use smoke treatment as their main method of eradicating Bed bugs. They use a canister that generates a large quantity of smoke having Permethrin Synthetic Pyrethriod Insecticide. However, once the treatment has been begun, you will not be able to return to the house for at least 4 hours to avoid any health issues.
Diatomaceous Earth is consists of a fossilized shells from aquatic diatoms, making it a 100% natural and safe Bed bugs treatment. The dust of Diatomaceous Earth can scratch and cut through the exoskeletons of insects having a waxy substance outer layer that protects them. The Diatomaceous Earth can dehydrate and asphyxiate Bed bugs once it cuts through. It can last for a long period of time if it is left untouched and keeps on providing pest control in applied areas.
The Diatomaceous Earth will have to be sprinkled around the bed, especially in cracks and crevices and wherever the Bed bugs may live in. Bed bugs have said to be killed within an hour of contact.
To make sure that the Bed bug treatment is done properly and efficiently, hiring the services of a professional pest control company is better than having to stress more about killing bed bugs when you already have got more than just a handful of bites. Make sure that you engage the services of a qualified and licensed post control company that has had years of experience and uses the best quality methods possible to handle Bed bugs. You can do a background check at your local pest control regulatory agency for more information pertaining to the pest control company you wish to hire.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
