I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This is Boomer and he is about 50 pounds. Boomer is about 6 years old but that doesn't make him an old dog! He likes to be with people but he is not pushy. He is playful and very friendly around other dogs and ok around cats. No jumping, digging or climbing. He is well behaved and comes when you call him. He likes to walk around in the kiddie pool and lay in it. Boomer doesn't mind spending a few hours a day outside in the shade with a friend or 2. He is neutered, UTD on shots and micro chipped.
He was recently attacked by another dog and almost lost his life. Some of the scars will likely be permanent.
His adoption fee is only $50. If you are interested in giving Boomer a safe home family, please fill out the adoption application at www.pitsnpups.org

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Boomer (sweet older gentleman, a Copperas Cove Akita dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Akita for sale in Copperas Cove, or seeking a Akita dog from a breeder in Copperas Cove.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Copperas Cove 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 Copperas Cove 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 Akita breeders who help with Akita rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Copperas Cove paves the way for another one to be saved.

Kayla went to her first foster home when she was nine. There were eight girls there, all older. One day, Kayla walked into the bathroom to find one of those girls unconscious on the floor, a pool of red flowing from her slit wrist. "I had nightmares every single night after that happened," Kayla says. "To this day, I cannot see blood."
Over the next six years, Kayla was repeatedly bounced from foster homes to her mom's home, then back to new foster homes as the court tried to reunify her with a mother who often seemed more unwilling than incapable of caring for her daughter. Most of the foster homes Kayla stayed in were with parents who had their own children -- and not everyone was treated equally. She lived in a house in Arvada where the parents took their own kids shopping at Abercrombie & Fitch and the foster kids to Wal-Mart. "We would all go to the same school and the kids that were their kids would have these nice clothes and get to do all of these things, and we didn't. When you're in foster care, you can't drive. You can't spend the night at anybody's house unless they get a background check."
At twelve, Kayla started getting into fights, stealing, smoking pot. By thirteen, she had a probation officer. "I remember, she told me, 'You think this is fun now, but in ten years your life is going to be destroyed. Imagine in ten years where you want to be. You could have so much in your future.'" When Kayla was fifteen, the court decided she was safe with her mom and reunified the family permanently, closing her child-welfare case. A month later, her mom sent her to a Christian group home in Longmont. Though Kayla wasn't crazy about the chores she had to do on the farm there, she liked the fact that the work earned her privileges. During one weekend when she'd earned a pass to leave the home, she got pregnant.
"That's when I thought about what the probation officer had said to me. 'There goes the plans for the rest of my life,'" she thought. 'There goes my future. There it goes.'" The group home wouldn't let her stay, but its director invited Kayla to live with his family so she wouldn't have to go back into foster care.
The arrangement quickly became a nightmare for Kayla. The director announced to his entire congregation that he was taking her in because she was pregnant. "The church looked down on me like I was this horrible teenager," she says. "I had all these people coming up to me, asking, 'Can I take your baby?' It was the worst thing I'd ever been through in my entire life, worse than foster care."
Everyone was telling her she couldn't keep the baby. It would have a dysfunctional life with one parent. Although Kayla's mother was upset about the pregnancy, when Kayla called crying for help, her mom found Bridgeway, a home for pregnant teens in Lakewood. The private non-profit agency, funded through donations and grants, charges pregnant teens just $100 per month to live there, teaches them parenting skills and encourages them to pursue educational goals.
"Bridgeway was so great. All these people opening their arms to you, saying we support you in keeping this baby and we're going to help you," Kayla remembers. "Every Monday we would have support groups on fears. Every Tuesday, classes on breast feeding, on changing your baby, because none of us knew. I really grew up at Bridgeway."
Kayla had moved there when she was four months pregnant, and she'd immediately applied for a FUP voucher through Volunteers of America. It took a year for her to be approved, and when she was seventeen, she moved into her own apartment with her baby.
But it wasn't exactly a happy ending. The staff at Bridgeway had prevented Adam's father from visiting, but now he came back into Kayla's life -- violently. She called the police on him, but he turned the accusations back on her, and Kayla was arrested on domestic-violence charges. Adam was put into foster care two days later.
In the meantime, Jefferson County Human Services reopened Kayla's child-welfare case since she was still only seventeen and her living situation had not been safe. After a week in jail, she was placed in the same foster home as her son. Her caseworker told her she could be eligible to move to an apartment again through an Independent Living Arrangement, a statewide program funded and administered by the county human-services departments. ILA allows some foster kids to live on their own but still be supervised by a caseworker so they have support. Kayla prepared an application with a budget and bank statements and went before an ILA committee, which approved her request and awarded her a $525 monthly stipend, in place of what a foster home would have received for her care.
Kayla moved to an apartment, Adam's child-welfare case was closed, and the domestic-violence charges against her were dropped. Adam's father will have to petition the court if he wants to see his son.

Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria |
After graduating at the University of Zagreb, he taught for eight years, during which time he also obtained his teaching qualifications. In 1965, Joe migrated to Australia with his wife Ranka, and only child, Christian, and the following year he joined the staff of the State Herbarium of South Australia.
After almost thirty years on our staff, specialising particularly in Cassytha and Thelymitra, Joe retired on 13 October last year. Joe and Ranka moved to Queensland near where Christian and his wife, Simone, had settled. A few months later, with their new house nearing completion and enjoying the warm weather that he so liked, Joe was killed in a road accident.
Our deepest sympathy is extended to his friends and especially to Ranka, who so often hosted botanical functions in their home, Christian and Simone.

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 ADONAI said to Moshe, | 1 The LORD said to Moses, |
2 "Tell the people of Isra'el, 'When you have come into the land where you are going to live, which I am giving to you, | 2 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'After you enter the land I am giving you as a home |
3 and want to make an offering by fire to ADONAI - a burnt offering or sacrifice to fulfill a special vow, or to be a voluntary offering, or at your designated times, to make a fragrant aroma for ADONAI - then, whether it is comes from the herd or from the flock, | 3 and you present to the LORD offerings made by fire, from the herd or the flock, as an aroma pleasing to the LORD --whether burnt offerings or sacrifices, for special vows or freewill offerings or festival offerings-- |
4 the person bringing the offering is to present ADONAI with a grain offering consisting of two quarts of fine flour mixed with one quart of olive oil, | 4 then the one who brings his offering shall present to the LORD a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a quarter of a hin of oil. |
5 and one quart of wine for the drink offering. This is what you are to prepare with the burnt offering or for each lamb sacrificed. | 5 With each lamb for the burnt offering or the sacrifice, prepare a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering. |
6 "'For a ram, prepare one gallon of fine flour mixed with one-and-one-third quarts of olive oil; | 6 " 'With a ram prepare a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil, |
7 while for the drink offering, you are to present one-and-one-third quarts of wine as a fragrant aroma for ADONAI. | 7 and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering. Offer it as an aroma pleasing to the LORD. |
8 "'When you prepare a bull as a burnt offering, as a sacrifice to fulfill a special vow or as peace offerings for ADONAI, | 8 " 'When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice, for a special vow or a fellowship offering to the LORD, |
9 there is to be presented with the bull a grain offering of one-and-a-half gallons of fine flour mixed with two quarts of olive oil. | 9 bring with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil. |
10 For the drink offering, present two quarts of wine for an offering made by fire, a fragant aroma for ADONAI. | 10 Also bring half a hin of wine as a drink offering. It will be an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD. |
11 "'Do it this way for each bull, ram, male lamb or kid. | 11 Each bull or ram, each lamb or young goat, is to be prepared in this manner. |
12 For as many animals as you prepare, do this for each one, regardless of how many animals there are. | 12 Do this for each one, for as many as you prepare. |
13 "'Every citizen is to do these things in this way when presenting an offering made by fire as a fragrant aroma for ADONAI. | 13 " 'Everyone who is native-born must do these things in this way when he brings an offering made by fire as an aroma pleasing to the LORD. |
14 If a foreigner stays with you - or whoever may be with you, through all your generations - and he wants to bring an offering made by fire as a fragrant aroma for ADONAI, he is to do the same as you. | 14 For the generations to come, whenever an alien or anyone else living among you presents an offering made by fire as an aroma pleasing to the LORD, he must do exactly as you do. |
15 For this community there will be the same law for you as for the foreigner living with you; this is a permanent regulation through all your generations; the foreigner is to be treated the same way before ADONAI as yourselves. | 15 The community is to have the same rules for you and for the alien living among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. You and the alien shall be the same before the LORD: |
16 The same Torah and standard of judgment will apply to both you and the foreigner living with you.'" | 16 The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the alien living among you.' " |
17 ADONAI said to Moshe, | 17 The LORD said to Moses, |
18 "Speak to the people of Isra'el; tell them, 'When you enter the land where I am bringing you | 18 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When you enter the land to which I am taking you |
19 and eat bread produced in the land, you are to set aside a portion as a gift for ADONAI. | 19 and you eat the food of the land, present a portion as an offering to the LORD. |
20 Set aside from your first dough a cake as a gift; set it aside as you would set aside a portion of the grain from the threshing-floor. | 20 Present a cake from the first of your ground meal and present it as an offering from the threshing floor. |
21 From your first dough you will give ADONAI a portion as a gift through all your generations. | 21 Throughout the generations to come you are to give this offering to the LORD from the first of your ground meal. |
22 "'If by mistake you fail to observe all these mitzvot that ADONAI has spoken to Moshe, | 22 " 'Now if you unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands the LORD gave Moses-- |
23 yes, everything that ADONAI has ordered you to do through Moshe, from the day ADONAI gave the order and onward through all your generations, | 23 any of the LORD's commands to you through him, from the day the LORD gave them and continuing through the generations to come-- |
24 then, if it was done by mistake by the community and was not known to them, the whole community is to offer one young bull for a burnt offering as a fragrant aroma to ADONAI, with its grain and drink offerings, in keeping with the rule, and one male goat as a sin offering. | 24 and if this is done unintentionally without the community being aware of it, then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering as an aroma pleasing to the LORD, along with its prescribed grain offering and drink offering, and a male goat for a sin offering. |
25 The cohen is to make atonement for the whole community of the people of Isra'el; and they will be forgiven; because it was a mistake; and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire, to ADONAI, and their sin offering before ADONAI for their mistake. | 25 The priest is to make atonement for the whole Israelite community, and they will be forgiven, for it was not intentional and they have brought to the LORD for their wrong an offering made by fire and a sin offering. |
26 The whole community of the people of Isra'el will be forgiven, likewise the foreigner staying with them; because for all the people it was a mistake. | 26 The whole Israelite community and the aliens living among them will be forgiven, because all the people were involved in the unintentional wrong. |
27 "'If an individual sins by mistake, he is to offer a female goat in its first year as a sin offering. | 27 " 'But if just one person sins unintentionally, he must bring a year-old female goat for a sin offering. |
28 The cohen will make atonement before ADONAI for the person who makes a mistake by sinning inadvertently; he will make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven - | 28 The priest is to make atonement before the LORD for the one who erred by sinning unintentionally, and when atonement has been made for him, he will be forgiven. |
29 no matter whether he is a citizen of Isra'el or a foreigner living with them. You are to have one law for whoever it is that does something wrong by mistake. | 29 One and the same law applies to everyone who sins unintentionally, whether he is a native-born Israelite or an alien. |
30 "'But an individual who does something wrong intentionally, whether a citizen or a foreigner, is blaspheming ADONAI. That person will be cut off from his people. | 30 " 'But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or alien, blasphemes the LORD, and that person must be cut off from his people. |
31 Because he has had contempt for the word of ADONAI and has disobeyed his command, that person will be cut off completely; his offense will remain with him.'" | 31 Because he has despised the LORD's word and broken his commands, that person must surely be cut off; his guilt remains on him.' " |
32 While the people of Isra'el were in the desert, they found a man gathering wood on Shabbat. | 32 While the Israelites were in the desert, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day. |
33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moshe, Aharon and the whole congregation. | 33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, |
34 They kept him in custody, because it had not yet been decided what to do to him. | 34 and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him. |
35 Then ADONAI said to Moshe, "This man must be put to death; the entire community is to stone him to death outside the camp." | 35 Then the LORD said to Moses, "The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp." |
36 So the whole community brought him outside the camp and threw stones at him until he died, as ADONAI had ordered Moshe. | 36 So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses. |
37 ADONAI said to Moshe, | 37 The LORD said to Moses, |
38 "Speak to the people of Isra'el, instructing them to make, through all their generations, tzitziyot on the corners of their garments, and to put with the tzitzit on each corner a blue thread. | 38 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'Throughout the generations to come you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments, with a blue cord on each tassel. |
39 It is to be a tzitzit for you to look at and thereby remember all of ADONAI's mitzvot and obey them, so that you won't go around wherever your own heart and eyes lead you to prostitute yourselves; | 39 You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember all the commands of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by going after the lusts of your own hearts and eyes. |
40 but it will help you remember and obey all my mitzvot and be holy for your God. | 40 Then you will remember to obey all my commands and will be consecrated to your God. |
41 I am ADONAI your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt in order to be your God. I am ADONAI your God." | 41 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God.' " |

Record Store Day organisers respond to Paul Weller boycott
Record Store Day organisers have responded to Paul Weller's decision to boycott of the event in future after copies of his limited run 7" "Brand New Toy" were being sold on Ebay for vastly inflated prices.
A statement on the Record Store Day website says organisers are "disappointed" that touts are exploiting the event, which aims to support independent record shops. It also states that as only 500 copies of the single were available, "some re-selling was expected".
"We share Paul Weller's frustration at evidence that 'Brand New Toy' has been offered for sale on eBay, and we are disappointed that despite our best efforts to drive out the touts, once again some people are seeking to exploit the goodwill of artists and labels by selling RSD exclusives at vastly-inflated prices on eBay," the post reads.
"At just 500 copies Paul Weller's 'Brand New Toy' was one of the most limited editions available on RSD and so some re-selling was expected. However, thanks to the measures we have taken on re-sales, overall the number of complaints about unauthorised sales this year is well down on previous years, though we continue to monitor eBay on an hour-by-hour basis. We clearly cannot control the activities of members of the public, but the Record Store Day Code of Conduct makes it clear that any store found to be complicit in unauthorised sales on eBay faces being banned from future events.
Record Store Day would not exist without the support and commitment of artists and labels and we take our responsibility to them very seriously."
Yesterday, Paul Weller said that he won't be taking part in Record Store Day in the future.
Writing on his official website, Weller attacked the "touts" selling the limited edition Record Store Day releases and stated that the online sale of records "goes against the whole philosophy" behind the annual event.
"I agree with all of you who have sent messages expressing your anger and disappointment at the exploitation of these "limited editions" by touts," Weller writes. "Apart from making the record, the rest has very little to do with me but I am disheartened by the whole thing and unfortunately I won't be taking part in Record Store Day again."
He continued: "It's such a shame because as you know I am a big supporter of independent record stores but the greedy touts making a fast buck off genuine fans is disgusting and goes against the whole philosophy of RSD. It only takes a few to spoil a wonderful concept for everyone else. Shame on those touts."

The formative years from twelve to seventeen are a fragile time for a teenage child. The social influences from family and friends, even media, offer healthy as well as unhealthy ideas and habits.
The average adolescent does not realize the effect alcohol, drugs and other addictive substances have on their behavior and health. They are unprepared for the threat to their physical, biological and neurological development.
Drug abuse can lead to mental health problems such as depression. Our brains are not completely grown until we reach our twenties, which makes risky behavior more dangerous.
Treatment for alcohol and substance abuse as well as huffing, smoking marijuana and eating disorders is available for boys and girls in New Mexico rehabilitation centers. The treatment is based on the level of abuse and the element with which the teen is involved.
Short term recovery, long term recovery, dual diagnosis and inpatient care are some of the possibilities for teens. Healing requires the youth to participate in recreational and clinical activities, following rules and attending treatment classes. Each child is expected to demonstrate his/her willingness to cooperate in reclaiming their lives.
Family involvement is as important to recovery and rehabilitation for rest of the family as the teen. Therapy techniques necessitate changes in family function, which can only be done if everyone in the core family is available to participate.
Parents may be shattered emotionally or angry with their child. They may be unable to understand the change in attitude while they struggle to cope with failing grades and dangerous behavior of their once happy, obedient teen.
The fear for the future of the teen without guidance and rehabilitation from an abusive lifestyle leave the parents wondering what went wrong. Although every parent wants only to provide his/her child with the best life, sometimes things go awry and only professional therapy can provide the redeeming answer.
In order to locate the best treatment care for the proclivity of the teenager, one must find the right rehab. The child's level of commitment, how motivated he/she is to recovery and the advancement of the addiction are elements to consider.
Other concerns are whether inpatient or outpatient care is best. Of course there are no guarantees of success, but sometimes we must trust the experts. They will assist the family in choosing private or group therapy, demonstrate daily living and the advantages to your loved one at the particular facility.
Short term assisted living arrangements for the family or the teen are an opportunity to reinforce a therapy regimen. As the strategy unfolds and a remedy is uncovered, therapy solutions may be changed to a more flexible arrangement.
Professional rehabilitation counselors experienced in detoxification, physical, psychiatric and emotional issues are there to assist in recovery every step of the way. Evaluation from compassionate, capable experts at one of the many rehab centers in New Mexico can put the addicted patient on the road to recovery and healing.
The commitment to providing effective solutions of recovery in abusive addictions is based on a custom plan for each individual. Each person has a recovery plan and an aftercare procedure.
All the recovery specialists are available for encouragement and advice when the patient is released. Successful transition into sober living is the ultimate resolution.

In "Amazing Grace," a Tapestry of Faith program
Ask participants to imagine what an ethics GPS would be like and then to demonstrate how it would work.
Begin by asking whether participants are familiar with GPS, or the Global Positioning System. (Be assured that many youth will have tried GPS in school and summer programs, if not at home or in family cars.) Explain, if participants do not, that GPS uses satellites to track things on Earth: to show where they are, what speed they are traveling, and what direction they are moving. If you have GPS in your car, you tell it where you want to go by keyboarding an address or a telephone number, or, in some cases, by speaking aloud to it. The system then tells you how to get to your destination. A voice gives instructions as you drive, saying things like this: "At the next intersection turn left."
Continue by asking what an ethics GPS system would be like. Could it help people make the right choices and stay on a virtuous path?
Let the group propose its answers as a full group, if you like. Or, if the group is large, divide it into smaller groups and let each come up with answers to compare at the end of the activity.
Use a few questions like these to get things started: What sort of destination would people want to reach? Who would decide how people should move, and what they should do? What would the ethical decisions be based on?
Ask for volunteers from each small group or from the full group to act out the way their ideas would work. One youth might describe an ethical destination, say, reaching a decision about a specific problem, such as whether to steal bread to feed a hungry child. Another youth could give GPS directions in a computer-like voice. A script might begin like this:
DECISION-MAKER: How do I reach a decision?
GPS: Ask your parent for advice.
DECISION-MAKER: My parent is not home. (Or did not have an answer.) Where do I go next?
Here are some possibilities to offer if discussion is slow to begin: For a destination, some people might select heaven; others might select a happy life or a specific work goal. People who could decide how people should move might include judges, religious leaders, or teachers. The ethical decisions could be based on the law or the Bible or some other set of rules.

text: Another lovely sample from JusTea – thank you! It is autumn and autumn is time for chai! There are different ingredients here that aren't found in Indian chai… but I'm fine with that as long as the base is the lovely Kenyan black that I sipped recently. And rose petals don't hurt! I wish I knew exactly WHAT ingredients are in here, since it looks like there are more than the three listed in the description when I am looking at the blend itself. Maybe the description just mentions three of the ingredients that aren't in a typical chai? I steeped a teaspoon and a half just after boiling for 3 1/2 minutes. The brew color is actually lighter than I expected for chai. The black tea isn't as noticeable as I would like. I guess it's the spices overpowering the flavor of the black tea, which is probably why some chais use CTC black bases. The flavor is very clovey! I'm not a fan of ginger and I can only tolerate it when it is in chai. It's spicy in its own way. I don't know if I taste any rose, but it sure looks nice. This blend certainly stands alone in my chai collection, since it's so different!

Evidence of environmental degradation due to climate change is both stark and subtle. While the contraction of polar ice caps in recent decades can be measured in miles, other oceanic shifts over time are trickier to detect or to pin on human intervention. The latest science suggests that changes to the oceans of even the smallest magnitude can impact all marine life, from tiny krill to killer whales. Like many of the gigantic challenges the oceans face, the impact of acidification is best viewed through a microscope.
What some marine biologists and oceanographers are seeing through their magnifying lenses is worth paying attention to. In June, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) of Woods Hole, Mass., released a study that said potentially irreversible changes in ocean chemistry - the result of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from industrial activity - could cause U.S. wholesale shellfish revenues to drop by 25 percent in the next 50 years, a loss of up to $187 million annually. If shellfish harvests are to decline by 10 to 25 percent, job losses will mount and, more importantly, marine ecosystems will change profoundly. But not everyone associated with the seafood industry is convinced the end is nigh.
According to the report's co-author Scott Doney, senior scientist of marine chemistry and geochemistry at WHOI, the total CO 2 emissions of the past 150 years of human activity are roughly equivalent to emissions of the previous 10,000 years; CO 2 levels in the oceans are at their highest in at least 1 million years. Emissions from burning fossil fuels and deforestation are the root causes of ocean acidification and overall climate change, say scientists.
Rising CO 2 levels cause seawater to become more acidic, endangering shell-forming plants and animals, Doney explained at a June seminar in Portland, Maine, organized by the nonprofit SeaWeb. Mollusks like sea snails, mussels, clams and oysters form their own shells, which are made of calcium carbonite. But increasing CO 2 absorption reduces the amount of calcium carbonate particles that are in the ocean for shell-forming creatures to capture and put to use.
This process, known as ocean acidification, creates a corrosive environment for not only commercially important bivalves and the species that feed on them, but also petite pteropods (a dietary staple of wild salmon) and plankton - the foundation of the entire marine food web. Acidification can also break down already-formed shells, causing pits in the shell surface, exposing the inner layers or dissolving the shells altogether.
Despite Doney's intricate calculations, he remains unsure if the course can be reversed.
"Future uncertainty is based on what humans will do," says Doney. "There is no plausible way to control CO 2 emissions for at least the next 50 years."
The threat ocean acidification poses to shellfish isn't breaking news to those who grow them, as their breeding grounds are like massive laboratories. Peter Becker, owner of Little Skookum Shellfish Growers in Shelton, Wash., has a background as an oceanographer and four decades of experience farming clams and oysters. He says Washington's most fertile shellfish grounds, Willapa Bay on the Pacific coast, is sheltered by a breakwater and is not as keenly influenced by open-ocean conditions, the focus of most acidification research.
Becker questions theories linking a shortage of oyster seed from the West Coast's major hatcheries - a perplexing phenomenon that began in 2005 - to a declining ocean pH level (see graphic, p. 20). He adds that the "signals" scientists are reporting on get lost in the "general chaos" of coastal ocean chemistry and are not yet fully understood.
"Imagination, popular press reporting by scientists who talk to reporters before they publish in journals and coincidence is not enough to prove causality," says Becker.
Others in the shellfish industry are skeptical of the WHOI study, based on their own theory-dissecting experience in academia.
"No one should take this lightly, but I believe the hypothesis needs much more focus and actual ecosystem observations," says Matt DiMatteo, an executive with American Mussel Harvesters in North Kingstown, R.I. DiMatteo also has a background in marine science. "Obviously, shellfish throughout their entire life cycle are hugely important in the ocean's food chain. If these assumptions prove to be true, the lost revenue is the least to worry about."
Bob Rheault, Ph.D., the president of the East Coast Shellfish Growers Association, says the effects of global warming and rising sea levels seemed so far in the future - and so gradual - that mankind could adapt.
"In contrast, ocean acidification really scares me, because the effects could hit us in our lifetime and the potential disruption to the marine food chain would be catastrophic," says Rheault, president of Moonstone Oysters in Wakefield, R.I.
"Because of the time scale of the chemistry - even if we stop producing CO 2 today - the pH will continue to drop for several hundred years," he adds.
A study published in the May issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences cast some doubt about the scope of ocean acidification's destruction. Author Rebecca Gooding, a University of British Columbia researcher, wrote that increased CO 2 emissions will not have direct negative effects on all marine invertebrates and that changing climatic variables should be considered in how various types of organisms will react.
The prevailing opinion from the industry is "show me the proof," but if the oceans' prognosis is as bad as feared, the concerns will be far greater than business. Rowan Jacobsen, author of shellfish-intensive books "A Geography of Oysters" and the upcoming "The Living Shore," offers a sardonic perspective on the WHOI findings.
"It's definitely a big concern, but to me it's a bit like calculating the reduction in oyster bar receipts should a large asteroid hit the Earth," says Jacobsen. "My understanding is that acidification threatens to take out the entire marine food web, in which case it's game over."
As far as cataclysmic natural disasters go, the deliberate pace of destruction from ocean acidification doesn't quite provide Hollywood drama. The subject first garnered the public's attention when the article "The Darkening Sea" by author Elizabeth Kolbert was published in The New Yorker in November 2006.
"Were the oceans not providing a vast carbon sink," wrote Kolbert, "almost all of the CO 2 that humans have emitted would still be in the air. Atmospheric concentrations would now be nearing 500 parts per million, and the disasters predicted for the end of the century would already be upon us."
Kolbert interviewed Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution for Science, who in 2007 wrote, "The effects of increasing atmospheric CO 2 concentrations on the carbonate system in seawater are not reversible on human time scales, and thousands of years will be required before the system can 'recover' to pre-industrial conditions."
Despite such dire diagnoses, ocean acidification is still not a household term - even Al Gore's Academy-Award-winning 2006 documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" didn't delve deeply into the oceans' changing pH as a result of global warming.
However, the subject will soon have its 15 minutes of fame, although the producers of the new film "A Sea Change" are hoping the oceans' plight remains in the public consciousness for much longer. According to husband-and-wife filmmakers Barbara Ettinger and Sven Huseby of Niijii Films, ocean acidification threatens more than 1 million species and is potentially more harmful than any damage that fishermen could cause.
"It is global and it is a consequence of what I call the unconscious decision to use fossil fuels to provide the energy for modern life," says Huseby, whose family moved when he was a young child from Norway to Alaska's Kenai Peninsula to work in a salmon cannery. He fondly refers to commercial fishermen as "my people."
The film, which had screenings on three continents on the inaugural World Oceans Day on June 8, details co-producer Huseby's personal journey to better understand ocean acidification and its full consequences. (The movie's national TV debut is on Sept. 26 at 8 p.m. on the Planet Green Network.)
Huseby's hope is that his precocious 5-year-old grandson Elias, who appears throughout the film, inherits a world with healthy oceans.
"Only known and observed for the last decade, [ocean acidification] is one of the great externalities of our modern lifestyle," Huseby says. "Over the last two centuries we have been building up this CO 2 debt. Now is the time when this issue needs to be addressed. It will be too late if it is left to future generations."
Ocean acidification has already made its way onto the small screen. In mid-August, Planet Green aired "Acid Test: The Global Challenge of Ocean Acidification" during the network's Blue August promotion, a month-long series of online and on-air programming dedicated to the wonders and mysteries of the world's oceans.
Narrated by actress Sigourney Weaver, the National Resources Defense Council-produced documentary looks at how industrial activity harms the environment.
"The oceans' power to create life is rivaled only by our power to destroy it," reads the film's promotional tagline.
Only for five years have scientists understood that CO 2 emissions can harm the oceans, according to Lisa Suatoni, Ph.D., a senior scientist with the NRDC's ocean program.
Emissions science, which "A Sea Change" also explores, is indeed relatively young: As recently as the 1980s, it was widely assumed that carbon emissions couldn't change the pH of the oceans. But the oceanic effects of CO 2 emissions are actually quite easy to understand, says Huseby.
"This is junior high school chemistry," he says. "CO 2 in the atmosphere is absorbed by the oceans, it turns to carbonic acid and eats away at calcium carbonate, which is the building block for all shell-forming organisms. Put some chalk in a glass of vinegar and you'll see, in the extreme, what happens: weaker shells, thinner shells so weak they cannot grow."
Any concerns about oyster, mussel and clam supplies would be extremely premature, but the seafood industry is adopting long-term environmental views as research accumulates. In the sustainable seafood movement, for instance, the market sets the rules: If the harvest or production of any one species is considered unsustainable or harmful to the environment, a powerful company like Wal-Mart or Darden Restaurants could stop purchasing it, and the ensuing publicity could set off a chain reaction of similar responses among seafood buyers.
But Brad Warren, fisheries advisor for Seattle-based Sustainable Fisheries Partnership and former editor of Pacific Fishing , says ocean acidification poses a different challenge, one that the seafood industry cannot change by simply altering its practices as it has to address sustainability.
"You could eliminate all the CO 2 emissions from the fishing industry and not make a bit of difference in the oceans," says Warren. Fishing vessels represent only 0.2 to 0.6 percent of all carbon emissions, he adds.
"From a buyer's point of view, their first impulse is to figure out whether they should stop buying this or that. 'Is it something we did? Do we need to change our ways?' That approach is not applicable here," says Warren. "Buyers want sources that are morally perfect."
The drivers of the type of change that Warren and others say is needed are not big-box supermarkets and nationwide restaurant chains. Climate change and its potential devastation may ultimately persuade governments around the globe to adopt tougher policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Hopes of a legislative paradigm shift are high for this December's United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15) in Copenhagen, Denmark, as the Kyoto Protocol of 1997 is widely considered to be deficient.
"From the start the Kyoto treaty was so weak to be worthless," says Warren. "[Copenhagen] will be a much more ambitious emissions-reduction bill."
Will ocean acidification be on the agenda when global leaders convene later this year? It should be, Warren explains, and the seafood industry can contribute meaningfully to a carbon-emissions solution.
"The mechanism is a cap-and-trade system. Who's done that? We have," says Warren.
An emissions-trading approach could theoretically borrow a page from the fisheries-management handbook by setting hard limits on emissions and allowing credits - or emissions leftovers - to be bought and sold depending on need. Emissions caps, however, lack global support: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in July failed to persuade India to accept specific targets for emissions reduction and many other developing countries are reluctant to abide strict limits.
Huseby poses and then answers the question: What can fishermen, and the greater seafood community, do?
"First and foremost they can learn what ocean acidification is - and is not. Second, they can spread the word. Third, they can use their political power to raise the demand for finding new ways to provide energy for modern life. They can join the call for legislation that supports wind, solar and tidal energy," says Huseby. "We have to realize together that there is urgency in this call for change. They are well positioned to be part of the solution."

What purpose it serves is in how you use it, same as the internet in general.
I use Facebook as a tool to get my art/music out and build up my fan base, as well as using some other sites. I keep up with fellow musicians, artists, cannabis activists, scientists, atheists and more. Having performed on cruise ships for 20 years, it is the easiest way for me to keep in contact with some of the many thousands of people I've met from around the world. As well as family and friends from school and elswhere.
I've never played a game like Farmville, Mafia Wars or any of those time wasters. I actually block each game request as I get them- so get less and less requests.
I use it to read and post links to things I find important- be it atheism/religion, failed cannabis/drug war policy, politics, music, art or whatever. I don't get many religious posts on my FB (and I have over 2,500 "friends"-80% I actually know), and those are not directed at me.
If someone doesn't like something I say or post and if I lose a "friend" on FB from it- I wouldn't even know who "unfriended" me unless they told me. The number of friends moves a few up or down every day - loose one- gain two- but it doesn't show who is no longer a "friend".
If you're bored of it, OK, don't use it, or check it infrequently, or inactivate your account- but getting pictures and all the rest of your stuff off of FB is harder than just inactivating your account.
See my illusion-filled sm'ART on Facebook or at http://www.kelinsmart.com
I keep my FB account mostly because people keep asking me, "Do you have a facebook page?"
Of course, the fact that I am an atheist is near the top of my info page. So far, no one has "unfriended" me (what a stupid term). I read the crazy shit they say and use it to inform my replies and blogs on my Nexus page.
I guess I hope some of them will "unfriend" me so I can see who my loyal friends are. Is that vain?
No Jeremy, that's not vain. I have a friend who had several people 'unfriend' her when she posted something agreeing with gay-rights on her page. She was glad to see them go. Why waste time online or off with people who are bigots or don't like you for who you are, etc. Forums are different if you're trying to get info, learn, etc., but friends should like you for you or buh-bye!
I don't like facebook and I don't use it. Same for Linkedin.
On facebook I actually do have a registration, but it is just an allias on an email address used for nothing else. So no one can find me. I don't use that registration either. Its just because some people use facebook and they want me to find them.
The open net is better. Better people make their own home pages and all on the open net.
Myspace I don't mind, but not currently using.
Problem with facebook and linkedin is that they want a particular style of profile and presentation.
I believe in anyonimity. So best just to use a Guy Fawkes mask.
I have actually gotten laid about 7 times because of FaceBook lol. Other than that yeah, just a time filler.
I have a facebook account and go on twice a week. Mostly its a waste of time. Keep tabs on siblings otherwise its boring.
I left Facebook because they have unlimited rights to commercially exploit every word and image you post. Post a picture of your kid? You could find that image selling stuff or promoting religious claptrap.

They are good served in a simple chicken broth, maybe with a little Parmesan sprinkled over. Also, try serving them with a little basil pesto sauce. |
- Posted by Michelle_MO (My Page) on Tue, Oct 30, 01 at 11:00
I love it with a creamy sauce (you can make it fairly "light" by using milk instead of cream) and cubed ham and peas. (About 1 c. of ham and 1 c. of defrosted frozen peas for 2 people) Or with alfredo sauce (butter, cream, parmesan and garlic) and a bit of crisp crumbled bacon. Also delicious with the marinara/tomato sauce and some lightly sauteed zucchini. |
I love it with butter, salt, papper, garlic powder and onion powder. Also good if you sautee mushrooms, garlic, onion, red and green pepper cut in strips, and spinach and mix it in with some parmesean a little butter, you can also add a chopped up tomato too. |

I love them served with cream sauce, Prosciutto and peas. Also good with alfredo sauce with just enough marinara mixed in to color it pink. Or a fontina cream sauce. |
Here is a link for one I just saw that looks really good. |

I typed this whole thing and somehow it didnt take. I will try once more. This is a great side dish. Tortellini Salad. I use the frozen, tricolor. Prepare the tortellini and drain. Then in large bowl, add 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup lemon juice, and i packet of Good Seasons zesty Italan dressing -- dry just the powder from the envelope. Mix well, add tortellini . Then add 1 choped green pepper, some chopped onion (like 1/4 cup or so),2 chopped plum toamatos, and 1 can of black olives, sliced. Mix all well, cover and refrigerate. To be honest, I usually dont do the olives and its still great. |

Tips To Play PSP Games On Android
Although modern games on Android has been very good and can rival the PSP games but there are times when we want to play PSP games on Android. In addition to wanting to reminisce with old games I've ever played on the PSP, some game titles are only released for exclusive handled this one. So the question is, "can enggak sih play PSP games on Android?" the answer could be, but not all games can be!
First you need is PSP emulator for Android, PPSSPP which is available in Google's Play. In addition you also need a game data file in ISO format or the CFO. To get it you can download it from the Internet but if you want a legal version you can install the application on your PSP merubat disc into the ISO file. More details follow these steps:
Download and install the emulator PPSSPP from Google Playstore. Transfer files from ISO PSP games you want to play on android.Open the application in the Android emlatornya mu, the display will appear as follows.
Tap on the menu ' load '.
Go into the folder where you saved the file ISO games of yesteryear.
Last tap on the file to PSP ISO games playable on Android, then the game will be directly executed.
PPSSPP is an emulator which is still very new, even this more suitable applications are referred to as prototype because his version still hasn't stepped on 1 0.6.1 though, so those games that are compatible and can be played with a number of his game is still very limited. I myself tried the 3 title game, and only this 2 Ridge Racer that way.
The developer has indeed remind this emulator is not final and have not stabilized, even in google page play them to write "IMPORTANT: Please do not give bad reviews due to low compatibility. It takes time! "because of the many bad-jelekan review this application. I can understand, the time for making the application it cannot be short, let alone this emulator application is much more difficult than in other applications because they have to ' move ' the environment is on the PSP and run it in the body of the Android OS.
Other games have also been compatible and can be played, among others, Moto GP, Wipeout Pure, Mimana and others, for a full list please visit the compatibility list on the website page PPSSPP.
PPSSPP does not include the minimum specifications to use this emulator, but they mention some of the compatible devices including the Nexus One, Nexus S, Galaxy Galaxy S2, S3, Xperia Play, Asus Transformer, Ainol Novo 7 Advanced, and Galaxy Note 2. That should be noted is if in Nexus 7 I overclock my processornya Tegra 3 Quadcore @ 1.1 Ghz and 1 Gb of RAM, running game that is played very slow imaginable how this emulator can work in device like the Nexus One uses Adreno 200 GPU!
In addition to the slow PPSSPP is also very unresponsive to handle input from the user, in the game Ridge Racer 2 I try when pressing the button X for gas, car is not directly the road but there is a pause of a few seconds before the car actually drove. In addition another problem that is very disturbing, in this beta version PPSSPP is still often hangs and only shows a black screen and the PSP buttons. This happens especially when starting a new game and when moving from one menu to another menu in the game.
I hope in future PPSSPP will give an update to the version of the emulator that is better and more stable than the current version, as well as the level of compatibility with a variety of game is getting improved.
What PPSSPP has done to help us in order to be able to play PSP games on Android are indeed very good, considering this emulator can be obtained free of charge and developed by the community instead of a major property developer. Unfortunately the resulting emulators are still far from perfect, some games could not be played, and that can be played walking very slowly. But like they say, it takes time.
For you who want to help develop PPSSPP application can also buy PPSSPP gold version for $ 5.08. The same feature with the version available by purchasing this version, however, you contribute to the progress of this emulator in future.

Veronica Radke
Jan 15th
Naturally gorgeous Veronica Radke is a tiny spinner who stands only 5'2″, with a delicate frame weighing less than 100 pounds. Her 34Bs are as perky and tasty-looking as can be, and you just want to run your fingers through her long, dark brown hair while you have your naughty way with her.
Veronica's first movie was The Seduction of Raylene from Devil's Film, released in June 2013. She made a great impression in this lesbian orgy scene in which young babes pile onto the legendary Raylene.
A month later, we saw Veronica in her first starring role, Slutty Times at Innocent High 2 from Innocent High. That's our girl on the box cover. Look at her flirty smile and tight little body and just try not to fall too helplessly in lust. Watch her suck and fuck in a classroom in the movie's final scene and you'll know it's a lost cause to resist her many charms.
You can also ogle the gorgeous Veronica in Elegant Angel Productions' Cuties 5, Filly Films' newly released Kissing Cousins 2, and several other films. Here are three fan favorites from her stimulating filmography.
Too Big for Teens 13

Let's get the week off to a great start with tales of tiny teens struggling to fit a huge dick inside them. Too Big for Teens 13 is another cock-thrilling installment of a series that has every right and reason to be as popular as it is.
When adorable brunette Dillion Harper and her boyfriend Johnny Sins decide to take the next big step in their relationship, she struggles to fit his enormo-dong inside her sweet little pussy. You can bet they manage to get it going, though.
Veronica Radke is a troublemaking but very cute brunette. She's so hot, in fact, that she manages to convince her frustrated principal, Jordan Ash, not to kick her out of school. He jumps at the chance to fit his thick member inside her tight twat.
Blonde babe Lia Lor is angry to discover that the handyman her mother employed is going to be in the house all day long. It cramps her style. But then again, how many handymen are as hot and hung as Manuel Ferrara? She decides that helping him with his tool will cure her boredom – never mind that he'll be there even longer, because "longer" is what she wants when it comes to cocks.
Cindy Starfall, a hot little Asian number, is upset over another fight with her boyfriend. When her friend Xander Corvus rushes to the rescue, he finds out that the reason for the fight was Cindy's disappointment over his puny penis. As luck would have it, Xander has no such problem and he's ecstatic to give her the shaft she craves.

Veronica Radke is skilled at driving a stick shift. Jerry notices this and gets the brilliant idea to let the little brunette drive his stick instead. She takes quite a ride on his throbbing shaft.
In an oldie-but-goodie porn movie scenario, exotic brunette Adrienne Anderson couldn't afford to pay her mechanic, Billy, so she offered to pay him in pussy. He's no dummy, so of course he accepted the deal.
It's XXX-mastime for dark-haired hottie Eve Evans and her man Bruce. He's a man of simplicity when it comes to gift-giving, so it's a good thing all Eve ever wanted for Christmas was to blow Bruce's large cock and let him fuck her with it.
To get back at her mother after a fight, Mae Olsen goes after her man. Mae doesn't particularly like her loser stepdad, but she lets him destroy her young pussy with his pulsing pole.

Understanding Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (RSD)
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSD) is a poorly understood chronic pain condition that impacts as many as 1.2 million Americans today. Characterized by constant and unyielding pain in the upper and lower extremities, most RSD sufferers develop symptoms after being injured in a work accident, motor vehicle crash, pedestrian accident, construction accident, or slip-and-fall accident. There is no known cure for RSD.
Doctors often fail to recognize the signs and symptoms of RSD, which can be devastating because the disorder gets worse with time. Without proper treatment, the condition can cause permanent physical disabilities. The psychological ramifications can be dangerous as well. CNN once highlighted the case of a 14-year-old girl who became suicidal as a direct result of her RSD pain.

About Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome
Doctors aren't sure what causes RSD. According to the RSD Foundation, one theory suggests that RSD manifests when the sympathetic nervous system responds abnormally to painful stimuli, such as a violent injury during an accident. It is natural for the sympathetic nervous system – the part of the body that controls our "fight-or-flight" instinct – to respond immediately when an emergency situation arises. However, that response typically shuts down within minutes to hours of the injury. Not so with RSD. Researchers theorize that the sympathetic nervous system keeps misfiring for prolonged periods of time, thus causing long-term pain.
Another theory is that RSD is caused by an immune response in the affected area, which causes some of its signature symptoms such as redness, inflammation and a burning sensation to arise.
Other RSD symptoms include:
- Burning and tingling in the affected part of the body;
- Changes in skin temperature;
- Increased skin sensitivity;
- Changes in skin color (blotchy, purple, pink, or pale red);
- Intense pain that worsens with time;
- Spasms;
- Muscle deterioration;
- Brittle or cracked nails;
- Shiny or thin skin in affected area;
- Excessive sweating;
- Motor impairment;
- Involuntary contractions;
- Swelling;
- Altered hair growth patterns;
- Bone softening.
Emotional stress can also accelerate the development of symptoms. In some of the worst cases, RSD sufferers cannot bear even a light breeze passing over their afflicted limb.
RSD is also called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), specifically Type 1 or CRPS I, because the pain frequently arises from a tissue injury. A related disorder – called CRPS Type 2 or CRPS II – arises from a distinct nerve injury, not a tissue injury.
RSD Treatment Protocol
Unfortunately, treatment for RSD is not simple because there is no test that can guarantee its diagnosis. Instead, doctors must rely on medical records and physical examinations to determine whether someone has a low, medium or high probability of having the disorder. Patients with RSD have reported that they had to see an average of five doctors before obtaining the correct diagnosis, according to the Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association (RSDSA).
Typical medical treatments involve a combination of the following protocols:
- Drug therapy, including opioids, antidepressants and corticosteroids;
- Topical analgesics;
- Spinal cord stimulation;
- Nerve blocks;
- Intrathecal drug pumps;
- Physical therapy;
- Occupational therapy;
- Behavioral therapy.
Consistent and appropriate recommendations from doctors can sometimes put patients with RSD in remission or alleviate their symptoms so that they can lead more functional lives. All too often, however, medical providers delay providing treatment or give inconsistent treatment, and the consequences can be disastrous and disabling for RSD patients.
Legal Questions to Consider
If you have RSD, you may have a legal claim. Here are some things to consider:
- Was your RSD caused or worsened by an accident due to someone else's negligence?
- Was your RSD triggered by surgery?
- Did you develop RSD as a result of a misplaced injection?
- Did your physician adhere to the appropriate standard of care when treating your RSD?

Designed for Success, Part II
By: Annet King
Posted: June 23, 2008, from the June 2006 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 4 of 4
But many other issues are far more subtle, and you can drive yourself mad when trying to make the right choices. Yes, wall colors matter. Yes, the length-to-width proportion of the treatment room matters. Yes, your selection of music matters. But, at the end of the day, it's really about how you make your clients feel, as well as the results that you consistently deliver.
The most essential aspect of designing a successful spa is not a matter of hardware, how the lighting is arranged or whether the front door faces east. What matters most are you and your team. You can visit a facility that does everything right in terms of design and décor, but it can leave you feeling empty or annoyed because the energetic connection was not made, or because the professionalism of the team left something to be desired. Focus first on the vision and the mission. In fact, write them out with a broad-tipped black marker on a piece of cardboard, and lean it against the wall as you make your design decisions. Refer to it often, because when your vision and spirit guide every physical choice you make regarding your spa, you've got a synergetic synthesis for success.
Editor's note: In the May 2006 issue of Skin Inc. magazine, Annet King addressed the challenge of designing both the retail space and the treatment area in a spa differently. This month, the second part of the article discusses the importance of color, treatment room layout, hygiene, client privacy and the spa team.

Barter is Better
By: Heidi Lamar
Posted: February 25, 2009, from the March 2009 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 3
Let's assume that all of the marketing opportunities mentioned were perfect for your business. How would that $150,000 budget look if you had used barter? Barter is great because it provides huge mainstream brand exposure for pennies on the dollar. Simply put, this method consists of paying your advertising suppliers, such as newspapers and radio stations, with gift cards instead of cash. This makes them partners in promoting you, not only with their ads, but through the distribution of your gift cards. Your cost is limited to the gift card redemption, which is typically 50–70%, and often takes up to a year for the redemption to occur. Profit margins with this method are typically 50%. Using barter instead of cash can easily save 75% and result in the exact same ads.
This is a little-known secret: Many advertisers are happy to barter. When you get advertising sales calls, say—and train your staff to say—"All of our marketing and advertising is done on a 100% trade basis. Is that something your company would be interested in?" Knowing and using this one simple phrase will save you thousands of dollars and hundreds of wasted hours. Most reps will say that they have to check with their supervisor, which will get them off the phone quickly, saving your valuable time. The persistent ones will try to set up an appointment anyway, assuming that once their oh-so-friendly rep is in front of you with his incredible opportunity, you will be seduced away from your barter principle. Don't fall for it. Here is another very effective phrase: "I know how valuable your time is, so once you can confirm that you are able to take 100% trade, we can take the next step."
The results
For the following examples, let's pretend that every $50 gift card costs you $25 in labor and overhead. If you are doing the services yourself, your margins will be better. Also consider you probably will experience a 50% redemption rate because you know that many of the gift cards will be lost, stolen or forgotten.
Radio. Have you ever wondered where radio stations get the prizes they give away to their callers? Many of them come from advertisers who know the barter secret: If you paid for your radio ads with $800 in gift cards per week, you would save approximately 75% or $33,600. Your cost would be just $200 per week.
Travel magazines. Gift cards make great perks for advertisers, concierges and incentive prizes for ad reps, so travel magazines love to hand them out. In fact, they are giving your gift cards to business owners, concierges and all of the people you want to know about you. Your savings reduces your cost to approximately $1,250 per month and saves you $45,000.

The Department of Labor continued its roundup of restaurants supposedly skirting wage and hour laws, recently reaching a settlement with a Texas-based restaurant for $650k in back wages and $150k in penalties to be split among 279 current and former wait staff. A DOL investigation found that not only was the restaurant retaining a portion of the employees' tips to pay for business supplies (e.g, menus, glasses, trays), but it was also withholding percentages of tips as discipline for certain infractions. The DOL shows no sign of slowing its vigorous wage-and-hour investigations, especially in the restaurant industry, which, according to a DOL Administrator, "employs some of our country's lowest-paid workers, who are vulnerable to exploitation." If you have tipped employees, remember that tips are the property of the employee, and tips may only be pooled (shared) among employees who customarily and regularly receive tips (e.g., waiters, bussers, and bartenders, not cooks, dishwashers, or janitors).

Our school greenhouse was built without proper ventilation and with our early spring this year, temps are hitting 110 F and higher. I was able to move some of the plants out into a light filled hallway for the weekend, but those pesky students return on Monday and I'll have to move them back to the greenhouse.
It is a permanent glass structure built onto the side of a classroom on the second floor of our school. It's wonderful until late April/early May. There are blinds that I can close on the wall windows, but the blinds on the roof windows won't close because of gravity (some genius must have been in charge of the design). I've been trying to think of ideas and done a little research. I'm thinking shade cloth attached to the roof blinds with clothes pins? Some sort of water cooling system? Anyone have any other brilliant ideas? Cost is, of course, a factor. |

cheapest will be shade cloth, but put it on the outside if possible. Shade cloth on the inside provides shade, yes, but the heat will be an issue still if the cloth is on the inside. You need to be able to vent that hot air. How about 2 cheap box fans (wal-mart, etc). both in the doorway. One on the floor blowing in, one up high blowing out. It might help, but it is far, far from optimal. You NEED shade cloth AND ventilation. |
- Posted by daisychain01 (My Page) on Mon, May 17, 10 at 13:36
Thanks so much for the response. I don't think I can get the shade cloth on the outside (greenhouse is on the 3rd floor not 2nd as I said above), but what if I put it very close to the glass on the inside. I can probably do the box fans. I'll try one I have at home first. There is a fan installed in the wall at one end, but because it is off of a classroom, the teacher needs to turn off the fan when she's teaching (too noisey). I can get the shade cloth for free from a supplier that supports our garden club so I'll try that. Why do you say it's best if it's outside? |
We have Shade cloth on the inside of our glass and it works just fine. We use Aluminet cloth so it reflects some heat as well. Are there any vents in the glass roof or near the peak of the roof? If not then yes vents or fans will be a must this time of year on a sunny day. We run misting too, but without venting or fans it does more to raise humidity than cool. You will need to move air, so maybe a quieter exhaust fan or even passive roof vents would help. The two box fan idea may work, but you'll also be dumping a lot of hot air and moisture into the hallway, not to mention the noise they may cause. Shade cloth and misting would help, but without venting or exhaust fans it will be a tough fight. |
When using ventilation of any sort, try to position fans so that they produce a rotation of air inside the greenhouse. As fuzzymoto said, without venting it will be a very tough fight. The greenhouse I use is also attached to a building, albeit a biology building at a university. "Some genius" must've designed this one too, since while there are two vents (side and ridge), there's no space for an exhaust fan. This means I have to work with shade cloth and fans, like you. If you have low humidity, you may want to try to rig up a swamp cooler-type system. Otherwise, the more fans, the merrier. Make sure to position them where they will be most effective, yet won't damage plants. |
Hello, Mine GH used to get in the 100's here recently. I actually ran a test the other day and put a garden hose in there with a misting nossel. This little test dropped the temp quite a bit. With the correct placement of the misting heads and more of them, this would be a great system to cool the inside. You can find them pretty cheap online for the low-pressure types that hook up to the common garden hose. I plan on buying one with a timer within the next month. I plan on misting for 1-2 mins, every 10-20 mins. I will post some pics and results when I have get the money and buy one ;) |

White paint on the inside of the glass - I forget the name but it's made specifically for the purpose. The problem with shadecloth on the inside is that the heat has already come through the glass. It's better than nothing. And see if you can get some vents installed in a couple of the windows. |
Our Aluminet works great on the inside of the glass and it will last a lot longer on the inside. Youc an build a misting system for cheap from drip irrigation parts too. |
- Posted by cuestaroble 8 CA Mtn (My Page) on Thu, May 20, 10 at 21:21
"Shade" cloth, including Aluminet, has two functions. Inside the greenhouse, it is to hold heat inside during cold nights. Outside, it reflects heat (and light), lowering inside greenhouse temperatures. The reduced light reaching the plants can be a problem with this product, especially for fruiting crops such as tomato, cucumber, pepper, etc. Imstillatwork is correct that to reduce heat inside the greenhouse, the proper location is on the roof, outside the greenhouse. |
- Posted by stressbaby z6 MO (My Page) on Thu, May 20, 10 at 21:40
Some locations do not allow shade cloth outside...maybe height, maybe wind...I agree with fuzzy, Aluminet is the choice in this case. |
Either way...whatever works best for you. We love having it inside, especially when we put the solar pool cover on the outside in winter. We also currently have toms, cukes, peppers and many others all doing well...in fact our cukes are almost reaching the roof of our GH already. |

Rays-Yankees Series Preview
Yankees-Angels Series Preview
Forecasting The Rest Of Yankees-Mariners
The Yankees took game one of a four-game set in Seattle 6-1 behind a six-run third inning that saw back-to-back home runs from Robinson Cano and Mark Teixeira and a solid performance from Phil Hughes, who seems to give up less home runs on the road for some reason. Hughes is now 4-0 with a 0.82 ERA all-time at Safeco Field. Let's have a look at the rest of the series.
This Has To Be The End For Andy Pettitte In The Bronx
No one will ever forget the postseason wins, the bulldog mentality, the cap set down just above the eyebrows as the cutter dives in on righties and away from lefties. No one will forget saving the bacon in the Bronx time after time after time, nor will they forget outdueling John Smoltz in the 1996 World Series.
Indians-Yankees Series Preview
The Yankees and Indians will play three in the Bronx Monday-Wednesday before New York heads out of town for a long West Coast trip. The Yankees are struggling, having lost seven of their last eight games. Cleveland comes off a series loss to Tampa Bay. Here is a series preview of the Tribe and pinstripes.
Derek Jeter Begins Throwing
Why The Yankees Are In First Place
The demise of the Yankees was written at least a dozen times from February 1 until now. The injuries, oh the injuries. But baseball people must not have been baseball people through and through because they forgot that CC Sabathia and Robinson Cano and Mariano Rivera were still around and the bullpen was in tact. And the division actually wasn't that good if you know how baseball teams win in 2013. Here are the Top 5 reasons why the Yanks were in first place as of May 13, 2013 at 9:00 p.m. EST.
Yankees-Royals Series Preview
The Yankees and upstart Royals play three in Kansas City. New York comes fresh off a series win in rainy Colorado. Kansas City comes off a series loss to the Orioles in Baltimore. Here is a Yankees-Royals series preview.
Royals general manager Dayton Moore had a plan a couple years ago. It was a plan to build through the farm, get pitching with some prospects and build an actual baseball team. Well, here we are. The Royals are good. Are they really good? Not yet, but even at 18-13 this club is showing early signs that the playoffs are possible, especially with the second Wild Card now in place. The Yankees will see old Rays pitchers Wade Davis and James Shields in this series, two guys they know well from American League East ball. Finally, Mariano Rivera returns to the scene where he tore his ACL shagging fly balls last year.
Yankees Need To Get Cliff Lee
Back in 2010, the Yankees failed to get Cliff Lee because minor league infielder David Adams didn't pass a physical due to a bum ankle and so the trade never happened with Seattle and Lee went to Texas instead and helped the Rangers win the pennant. Lee, at that time, was the surest pitcher in baseball. He isn't that now, at the age of 34, but the Yankees should still go get him.
Athletics – Yankees Series Preview
The Yanks enter a home series with Oakland having won four of the last five series, including recently Houston, where the pinstripes were crushed in game one but took the next two. Moneyball-run Oakland, meanwhile, took two of three from the Angels. These two teams will play three in the Bronx. Here is a series preview.
Leadership Helping Yanks Stay Ahead
Talk all day long about the 2013 replacement players in pinstripes. Talk about general manager Brian Cashman taking chances. Talk about the starting pitching being good enough in spots. Talk about whatever you'd like as the main reason for the Yankees' demise not quite happening just yet like some thought. The real talk is the leadership and presence of Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter and Andy Pettitte. As long as those three are in the Bronx, it starts and ends with that.
