I am a divorced mother of a 15 year old (just 15 in April)daughter. She lives with her father because their are less restrictions with him than with me, and he has allowed her to date a 19 year old boy. I don't agree with his decision. I just found out they have had sex more than once! I have told her and her father this relationship needs to STOP! Father does not agree at this time. What if she becomes pregnant? Do I have the right as a parent to make her have an abortion? In the state of Arizona, it is a class 6 felony if a 19 year old is convicted of having sexual intercourse or oral sexual contact with any person under the age of 18. The father condoning this activity does not override state law. (Arizona Criminal code below.) You are within your rights as a parent to report the 19 year old to police. It may also be prudent to inquire as to the proper procedure and protocol for petitioning the court for a protective order or restraining order; there may be cause for the court to intervene and stop contact legally between the 19 year old and the 15 year old through a court order. Local procedure for these types of orders vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. No. You do not have the right to make your teenager get an abortion. Except in a medical emergency where the teenager's life is at risk, no parent or guardian may force a minor to have an abortion. If a teenage girl feels threatened that this may happen, she can go to the court for assistance. 13-1405. Sexual conduct with a minor; classificationsA) A person commits sexual conduct with a minor by intentionally or B) Sexual conduct with a minor who is under fifteen years of age is a |

I get a kick out of planting new to me plants, it's like a mystery to see what will happen. A couple of months ago I was weeding and when I dug up what I thought was a weed, it had a whole peanut shell attached. There were leaves coming out of one end and roots coming out of the other end. I deduced that it was a peanut plant and put it in a corner of one of my planter boxes. It is growing and when I peeked, there were tiny peanuts growing, I'm growing peanuts in Silicon valley.LOL I found a carrot in my veggie drawer that seems to have some pale green leaves popping out from the top. I planted the whole carrot in my plant box, and that is growing . I can't wait to see what is developing. |

I do that all the time, West. My DH thinks it's funny when I try yet another garden experiment. I have an avocado and papaya plants currently growing. Of course, they aren't hardy in my zone but it's fun to see the plant. What I wouldn't give to have and avocado and a mango tree! |
It is fun- I planted 2 chick peas and they both grew but one didn't do so well and I tossed it but the other is thriving and has a bud on it. Can't wait to see what will happen. Sweet Betsy- I have 2 mangoes that I started from seeds- just open the seed pod and take the White "lima" bean-like seed and wrap it in a moist paper towel, into a zip lock bag and in a few weeks the seed will sprout and you can then pot it up. |

sweet_betsy , I remember doing avocado experiments when the kids were little. We took the seed, put toothpicks on both sides, and hung it over a glass of water, with the end just touching the water. It put out shoots and leaves in a hurry. We have a young grandson now, and I thing I'll get him started with the avocado seed. Thanks for the reminder. surya55, I have dried chickpeas, will that work? |

I managed to get an avocado seed to last until it became a tree, it took a long time and finally it bore fruit. They need cross-pollination, and happily my friend and neighbor had gotten a tree to grow and we both benefited from the fruit, |
I am sorry to say but I am not sure. If you want to give it a try, soak the peas for two nights and then plant them. This way they'll be more apt to sprout. |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Fri, Jun 14, 13 at 20:05
Come to think about it, I've only seen chickpeas in dried or canned form. Another mystery. |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Fri, Jun 14, 13 at 20:15
Our avocado experiment with the kids went only so far. They had fun watching the "guts", meaning the roots grow, but after that they lost interest. We never planted a tree. |

I have a pretty good old wooden door. But, I have been told that in a cold climate such as ours, I would be better to install a new fiberglass or vinyl door. I am told that the energy savings would be considerable. I do not know if that is true. Does anyone have any way of evaluating such a claim and thus deciding whether to get a new door. I would be just as happy to save the thousand dollars. bob |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well where DO you live? Storm doors are really unavoidable in a lot of climates, but without knowing where you are it's hard to say. |
Energy loss with wood doors usually happens around the door, not through the wood. If you are having energy loss, I'd save the thousands and instead would buy spring bronze weather stripping that would go around the inside of the door frame and would be between the door and frame. Cost should be under $100. It is installed with just a hammer and the nails it comes with. That's what we have in place for our 1918 wooden doors and it works just fine. No wind blows through. |
Here is a link that might be useful: spring bronze weather stripping
For $10-$15 you can get weatherstripping to seal the tops and sides -- probably a vinyl bulb mounted in an aluminum track that gets screwed to the jambs. A few more bucks gets you a sweep for the bottom. It would be a very long time before a $1000 door payed for itself in energy savings when compared to an already paid-for wooden door, as long as the weatherstripping is maintained. |

Wow, I don't know where you'd find a fiberglass door for a thousand dollars, but anyway... There are many ways that you can seal up the opening around the door to get a weathertight seal to save on energy loss. Also, you can install a storm door as well in front of the entrance door to increase your weatherproofing. You can get spring bronze as someone else suggested which is good, you can also get wood quarter round that has a seal imbedded in it that you nail on the inside of the door as well. Skip the stick-on stuff, it usually never stays in place and is just an aggrevation, whether the rubber rounds or the even worse foam stick on material. Also, make sure your door jamb is well sealed with caulk on the outside where it meets your siding and along inside the jamb, any cracks are places for air and possibly water penetration. |
Thanks for the replies. I knew about the weatherstripping but was just wondering about its effectiveness. you folks seem to think that it is pretty effective. Effective enough, in fact, not to get a new door, if heat loss were your main reason for getting one. thanks for the replies Bob |

I would like to introduce myself. I just moved to Northern Maryland from Alabama. I still haven't recovered from the shock but as a former military wife I am used to moving and will get over it soon. LOL. This will be my first gardening season here and I can't wait to get into the swing of things. I have had to move every one to two years (for 15 years) often after I just completed a major landscape project. I moved lots of plants over the years but moved here with 10 days notice and couldn't take any plants with me. Boo-hoo! So I am starting over. My new home has a lace-leaf japansese maple plopped down in a circle in my yard (ugh). On the other side I have a huge unknown bush plopped down in a circle (double ugh). The only other things here when I moved were a little Rudibeckia and Dianthus. I see y'all will be having a swap in May. Are newbies welcome? If so, I guess I need to figure out what and when to grow so I could swap too. I can't wait to meet y'all and to get to know the area. Happy gardening, K PS Anyone else in Cecil County? |

Welcome to the Mid-Atlantic! We've got our own special gardening challenges, but all in all, it is not a bad place to be. As for the swap, newbies are absolutely welcome. Newbies that are not too discriminating about what they take home, even more so :-) Keep in mind that this is not going to be an even-steven kind of swap. Some people have lots to give away, others a little less, and some are just starting out, so they contribute in other ways. It's all good. If you have no plants or plant related material to bring to the swap (and that's cool), you can always supply some food. My 'Haves' are here: http://www.gardenweb.com/members/exch/suja Contact me by email if you see anything you'd like to have. Don't worry about not having anything to offer in return. At this point, I've got more plants than I know what to do with. Happy gardening! |
Greetings and Salutations!! Welcome to the land of red clay! :-) Definitely come to the swap, and if you have one, bring an SUV or truck. (Suja's not kidding about the nondiscriminating thing.) Last year, my DH (dear husband) almost had to walk home because our SUV was COMPLETELY full!!! Then in the fall, I had grasses bungeed to the top of the 4Runner. The people on this forum are FABULOUS!! Friendly and generous. Let us know what conditions you have (sunny, shade, wet, dry, etc.) and we can make plant suggestions. If you are interested in Native plants, there are several sales throughout the year. (See Link Below for a few.) Happy Gardening!! Jen |

Hi K, I live in Baltimore County, a bit south of you .Welcome to the Mid-Atlantic. We have great plant swaps. They're alot of fun. Great chats, great friends and great food. as stated above....we all have more plants than we can manage in our yards, but like true gardeners, we always want/need/ more even if we don't have room. You will find that there are alot of generous people, ready to lend plants and advice and lots of encouragement. You've arrived at a good time in Maryland...Springtime. Looking forward to meeting you at the swap. Bonnie |

A few weeks ago I posted a few hardhat tour photos from the Chihuly exhibit going in at the base of the Space Needle - the gardens, designed by Richard Hartlage of AHBL, are stunning and fresh. I've written a column for Pacific Northwest magazine about Hartlage's design and how the gardens, including green roofs, green screens, mature trees and masses of perennials, are an immersive experience, as well as an exciting compliment to the site, the buildings, and the artwork. That story will run early in June in the Seattle Times - but if you can't wait to hear more, Richard is speaking at Molbaks in Woodinville on Wednesday May 9.
"Behind the Scenes at Seattle's new Chihuly Garden and Glass Exhibition" will give a sneak peak at the project due to open mid-May. Learn about the collaborative process involved in designing this public outdoor space and the rewards and challenges of working on a world-class, permanent exhibition. View behind-the-scene photographs and get Richard's personal, must-see recommendations on what to seek out on your first visit.
Space is limited so please register at molbaks.com by May 4. FEE: $5 per person includes a cold soda and a treat. For questions, please call 425.483.5000. Molbak's is located at 13625 NE 175th ST., Woodinville, WA 98072.
Thanks to Chihuly Garden and Glass for these photos - so much more of the artwork and many more plants have been installed since I visited a few weeks ago...

Chit Chat Cafe to Close
THORNTON, Iowa (AP) -- A small northern Iowa town is losing a favored gathering place, the Chit Chat Cafe.
Owner Richard Dorenkamp says he must close the Thornton restaurant after 39 years because business has waned in the town of around 400 and his health has declined.
Over the years the Chit Chat Cafe became a popular place for Sunday dinners, morning coffee, birthday parties and anniversaries and other special events.
But there are fewer people living on nearby farms now. A railroad no longer goes through town, and the Thornton school closed in 2008. Few businesses remain on Thornton's Main Street.
The last Sunday dinners will be served this weekend, and the Chit Chat will close for good on June 27.

Dear Fans!
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and got a chance to spend some time with some friends and family! Everyone in the band enjoyed some down time during Thanksgiving. I know I did. With everything that's been going on with "Stay Awake," our interview with WRCN, and our next Stone Pony gig, a Thanksgiving break was much needed.
Oh wait, did I just say our next Stone Pony gig??
You've all read that correctly. We will be playing at The Stone Pony on Friday December 7th!! This show is going to be great because we'll be opening for Eve 6 and Everclear!!! How insane is that??? We should be getting the tickets for that very soon, so we'll let you know the exact details (ticket cost, set time, etc.).
Also, we have just been endorsed by TB&TB Clothing Company! We will finally have some Running Late shirts very soon. It would be great if the shirts came in by the 7th, so keep your fingers crossed. If we get them by then, we'll be sure to set up a merchandise stand to sell them. We'll keep you all updated on when we get the shirts.
"Stay Awake" has become our most popular song yet! In over a week, it's gotten over 150 Facebook likes and has greatly increased our fanbase. Due to the success of the song, we think that we're going to keep creating more high-energy songs. It has a more alternative rock sound, and it is more consistent in today's rock genre. We're proud that we've created this song, and we'll be sure to come out with a new EP including "Stay Awake!"
Anyway, that's all for this week. Again we'll let you know more details regarding the Pony!
Catch you guys later,

Advanced Process Modelling for separation systems
Heat-Integrated Distillation Columns (HIDiC): using modelling to minimise risk and accelerate implementation
PSE's gPROMS can be used to investigate novel column design in order to:
- Minimise risk
- Verify designs and establish viability
- Accelerate implementation
- Optimise safe and effective start-up procedures
- Define operating envelopes
- Perform control design
- Maximise operational flexibility
- Troubleshoot poor operation.
Distillation operations are responsible for 40% of the energy used in the Chemical Process Industries.
The technology that can reduce this energy requirement significantly will represent a major breakthrough in energy efficiency, and give significant competitive edge to the companies that adopt it.
Heat-Integrated Distillation Columns (HIDiCs) are such a technology.
By combining rectifying and stripping columns in an annular (or similar suitable) arrangement so that they exchange heat along their lengths, and elevating pressure in the rectifying section, energy savings of nearly 50% can be achieved.
However, despite the obvious potential, this very promising concept has not yet developed into successful industrial-scale applications.
This is partly because it is difficult to test its applicability to specific mixtures to be separated, leading to a high perceived risk in deploying such innovative technology.
In particular, the practical deployment of HiDiC technology is hampered by the difficulty of proving that it is possible to start up and operate the unit as intended.
There is a relatively narrow window of feasible operation, outside which the HiDiC system is either not fully efficient or suffers from liquid drying in certain regions.
A model-based solution
The resolution to these challenges is quite simple.
Unlike complex reactors, HIDiC systems can be accurately modelled using only information available in the literature. No specific laboratory or pilot data is required.
However, there are two complicating factors:
- The vaporisation in the stripping section and condensation in the rectifying section depart significantly from equilibrium. This calls for a rigorous rate-based approach.
- The heat transferred across the partition separating the low and high pressure sections must be modelled in a spatially distributed manner to correctly co-ordinate with the distributed energy balances of phases on either side.
PSE's Advanced Model Library for Gas Liquid Contactors (AML:GLC) addresses both of these aspects. The library contains component models that can be assembled to cover a wide variety of configurations (including both conventional ones and a variety of HiDIC systems) with minimal effort.
At its heart is a solution of the differential formulation of the Maxwell-Stefan equations for multicomponent mass and energy transfer over 2-dimensional distributed domains.
Example: separation of benzene and toluene
The separation of a mixture of benzene, toluene and a small amount of ethylbenzene was modelled for three separation processes:
- [1] A conventional distillation column
- [2] a HIDIC concentric tube column (see figure above)
- [3] a HiDiC compact heat/mass exchanger, in which the rectifying section comprises the tubes within a shell-and-tube heat exchanger configuration.
The gPROMS flowsheets for all the processes were constructed from AML:GLC and standard Process Model Library (PML) components. The flowsheet for the concentric tube HIDiC process is shown in the figure above.
The resulting models were used to study the performance of the system during start-up and at steady-state operation.
A detailed experimental study of bench-scale HIDiC operation was published by Naito et al. (Comput. chem. Engng., 24, 495-499, 2000). The predictions of our models are in excellent agreement with the published measurements; moreover, this was achieved using purely predictive models without any parameter fitting.
The start-up dynamic simulation quantified the pressure and heat exchange during the transition from cold and empty to full operation, as shown in the plots on the right.
This verified that the equipment could be started up as planned. Further runs could then be performed to minimise the start-up time to full production.
The plots above show the energy input into the system through start-up to steady-state operation.
It can be clearly seen that the reboiler and condenser duties for both HIDiC configurations are substantially less than for the conventional column, while the additional compression energy requirement is relatively small.
Performance comparisons between the different configurations are shown in the table on the right.
These indicate that the HIDiC system, if properly designed, can save up to 60% of the energy required for separation. In addition, the condenser duty, and consequently the condenser size, can be reduced by up to 60 %.
Separation equipment | Total energy input (MJ/h) | Condenser duty (MJ/h) |

You get Disney Quest as a Plus Choice - but you only get 3 Pluses. Am I doing my math correctly? That is a Whooping 18.9 % Increase!!! |
This might clear some questions. This is from the Disney's Travel Agent Site:
Walt Disney World Revamps Vacations Walt Disney World Resort has unveiled an innovative new product lineup that will allow travel agents to better tailor clients vacations by allowing them to build customized theme park tickets and packages. New Magic Your Way Tickets and vacation packages will be available for booking and travel beginning Jan. 2, 2005, and will provide a wider range of options that allow travel agents to design a Walt Disney World vacation that matches clients needs and desires. For the first time ever, the new Magic Your Way Tickets will offer significant year-round savings that grow the more days a client visits. A seven-day theme park ticket, for instance, averages just $29 per day, or less than half the price of a single-day ticket ($59.75 per adult, before tax). With the flexibility of adding options like Park Hopping or water park visits to theme park tickets or selecting a vacation package that includes meals, Disneys Magic Your Way Vacations put travel counselors in control of framing the vacation that best suits their clients desires and budgets. People today expect flexibility and customization whether theyre buying a computer or a cup of gourmet coffee, said Randy A. Garfield, CTC, executive vice president of sales and travel operations, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, and president of the Walt Disney Travel Company. And now travel agents will have that same ability to customize their clients dream vacations, creating the ticket or package that is just right for them. Some clients may choose the new affordability of a 7-day Magic Your Way Base Ticket to the four Walt Disney World theme parks. Others may be interested in the added flexibility and fun of a ticket that includes admission to water parks, Downtown Disney Pleasure Island and other great venues. Or some may even choose to maximize a single day at Walt Disney World with a ticket that lets them visit multiple parks in the same day. Ultimately, this expanded menu of ticket add-ons puts the power of building a customized Walt Disney World itinerary into the travel agents hands. With Disneys Magic Your Way Vacations, a Walt Disney World vacation also becomes even more affordable. A family of four will be able to enjoy a weeklong (6-night/7-day) Walt Disney World vacation including a stay at an on-property Disney Value Resort hotel with tickets to all four theme parks during regular or value season for less than $1,500. This new vacation product puts a weeklong Walt Disney World vacation within the financial reach of millions of additional families, literally growing the market of Disney fans that can benefit from a travel agents services, added Garfield. We think it will also result in increased client loyalty and an up-tick in business for those who successfully cultivate the new market of travelers Disneys Magic Your Way Vacations will attract. The Walt Disney World Resort will switch to Magic Your Way tickets available to all guests, whether or not they stay at a Disney resort hotel beginning Jan. 2. The move is aimed at putting value, flexibility and relaxation back in family vacations while giving guests customized options, so they choose the ticket features they want. Recent research shows that longer vacations are high on the wish list for families, Garfield added. With so much to see and do at Walt Disney World, guests want to take a week to experience it all, at their own pace, without the rush. Now they can, at prices more affordable than they ever imagined, thanks to new value pricing that rewards longer stays. Simply put, he said, the longer you play, the less you pay, per day. The Magic Your Way Tickets also offer clients more flexibility, allowing them to customize their tickets to create their dream vacation no matter its length. With the Magic Your Way tickets, clients first choose the number of days they want on a base ticket that allows them to enter one theme park each day. Then, they can decide which options they want to add, paying for only those features they want, such as the ability to visit multiple Disney theme parks each day or to visit Disney water parks, Downtown Disney Pleasure Island or other exciting venues. Add-on purchases to the base ticket include: Park Hopper Option - Adding the Park-Hopper Option lets the guest come and go as they please through all four Disney theme parks on the same day or every day for each day of their pass. Extra cost to the base-price ticket: $35 or just $5 per day on a seven-day ticket. Magic Plus Pack - For Disney fun beyond the four theme parks, this option provides the choice of admission to Disneys Blizzard Beach water park, Disneys Typhoon Lagoon water park, DisneyQuest, Downtown Disney Pleasure Island or Disneys Wide World of Sports Complex. Extra cost to the base-price ticket: $45 (includes 2-5 visits to Magic Plus Pack attractions, depending on the number of base ticket days purchased). No Expiration Option - New Magic Your Way Tickets expire 14 days after their first use. Electing the No Expiration Option means the guest is free to come back and take advantage of unused tickets at any time. Extra cost to the base-price ticket: $10 if 2-day ticket purchased, up to $55 if 7-day ticket purchased. Magic Your Way Premium Ticket - To capture all that Walt Disney World has to offer, this ticket combines the benefits of the Park Hopper Option and the Magic Plus Pack Option. Advance Purchase Savings Tickets - The savings get even sweeter when clients purchase select, multi-day Magic Your Way Tickets of 5-days in length or more with either the Park Hopper Option and/or the Magic Plus Pack Option in advance, before leaving home. Packages These same, new ticket options are the cornerstone of a new menu of Walt Disney World Resort vacation packages offered by the Walt Disney Travel Company and other Disney select wholesalers. These new vacation plans, which no longer require a minimum length of stay of at least three nights, also become available for sale and travel beginning Jan. 2, and include the following options: Disneys Magic Your Way Package This base package helps clients experience the magic of a Walt Disney World vacation at an affordable rate. The package includes accommodations at a Disney-owned and operated resort hotel, and Magic Your Way base tickets for everyone in the group. Disneys Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining This exciting new package features a new option that seasoned Disney guests have longed for the ability to include convenient and affordable meals in vacation plans. The package includes everything from the Disneys Magic Your Way Package, and adds a dining plan that includes two meals and a snack per person, per package night at more than 100 restaurants across the Walt Disney World Resort. Disneys Magic Your Way Premium Package This deluxe package includes everything from Disneys Magic Your Way Package as well as breakfast, lunch and dinner per person, per package night, along with other exciting options like recreation, theme park tours, and admission to the Cirque du Soleil show La Nouba, and more. Even More Choices: Disney Resorts, Benefits Staying in the middle of the magic at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel is the best and most relaxing way to enjoy a Walt Disney World vacation. With 22 uniquely themed Resorts Value, Moderate, Deluxe, Disney Vacation Club Resorts, and Disneys Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground theres one for every taste and budget. Now that a longer Disney vacation just became more affordable than ever, clients will be able to enjoy their hotel like never before spending quality R & R hours between park visits, whether its swimming, napping, shopping or dining. Benefits of staying at a Disney resort include more time in the parks, more convenient transportation and more magic all around: Extra Magic Hours: Each day, one of Disneys magical theme parks opens one hour early exclusively for resort guests, or, as a new feature, stays open up to three hours extra after regular park hours so Walt Disney World Resort hotel guests can enjoy select attractions (valid theme park ticket and Resort ID required). Convenient Transportation at No Extra Charge: Motor coaches, monorails or boats arrive steps from any Disney resort door to get guests to and from Disney theme parks, water parks, Downtown Disney Area and more. Dining Plan: Guests selecting accommodations at a Disney-owned and operated resort hotel can book Disneys Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining, which includes two meals per day and a snack per person, per package night at more than 100 select restaurants across the Vacation Kingdom. __________________ |
Gee, I wish I could see this laid out in a full color brochure!!
I forget where I read this but someone commented that a 5 day MYW with non-expiration is a bad deal. If you need non-expiration, why not buy a 7 day? After all, if you are coming back to WDW with just one or two days left aren't you going to need to buy another pass halfway into your second vacation if you started with a 5 day? Not exactly an apples to apples comparison but, comparing MYW with UPH (ultimate; length of stay) passes MYW without non-expiration ends the argument with the desk clerk of dropping the first and/or last day, it is now your choice whether to go into the parks on those days. And with 7 or 10 day passes, the 6'th day on have a very low nominal price for vacations that long. Disney hints: http://members.aol.com/ajaynejr/disney.htm ______________________________________________ <small>Two species are quite well known for inflicting cruelty -- humans, and cats. (overheard at Walt Disney World)</small> |
But, if you are adding the no expiration option, why not go with 6, 7 or even 10 days because the price differential when you get to the higher number of days is minimal.
The MYW are better in my opinion IF you get a package deal; that is if you are stay DW for 10 nights but doing other things for a few days. Under the old system you HAD to purchace the UPH for the length of your stay; whether you wanted hopping, pluses or that many days. Was cost prohibitive to some families. And now, you can choose and if you purchase a longer ticket the price per day goes WAY down. Well worth the fee for non-expiring.
I think the MYW is a much better system. Yes, not so great for shorter trips but for the vast majority of travelers it works out better. |
We've been through this on an earlier thread, but the answer is it depends. For my family, the MYW will save us nearly $600 on our next 2 trips. Instead of buying a 5-day hopper each trip, we'll buy 10-day MYW next time and use half one trip and half the next. The new passes are way cheaper if you do it right.
With the headache that I think that I would get from chosing from the ticket options, I'm glad that we don't have a trip planned anytime soon. :rolleyes2: (Did I really say that? :earseek: ) |
As for choosing tickets, its a no-brainer to me. Buy the longest option, non-expiring as long as you know you will be going again. Personally, I'm really surprised Disney actually did something that will save people so much money. I would have gladly continued paying the higher prices on the old tickets but I certainly won't complain about the price drop with MYW. |
Before the announcement of the new MYW passes, we were going to buy AP's and use those for the next 2 trips. However, when they announced the new MYW passes we decided to go with the 10 day no exp premium passes. Now we get the same number of days in the parks that we were originally intending on going (over the course of the 2 trips) plus 5 options - including DQ for less than the AP's would have cost us!!!! And because we bought a package with the MYW passes included we got the dining package!!!
So the MYW passes end up saving us a good bit of $$$!!! :cool1: |
We did exactly the same
This will work up to big savings for us the next two trips!!!!
Yay!!!!!!!! :cool1: |
I am not sure if this helps or even if I am correct, but I thought the premium ticket prices already included the parkhopping, plus options and no experation options, so adding theses costs would be duplicating some of the costs.
Lisa :) |
You know, at some point, it is better off to buy an Annual Pass b/c of the discounts!

May 24, 2010, 12:01 AM
By Ryan D'Agostino
Whitney Tressel
One month earlier, Eric Massa had been a very different man.
"Coffee, Congressman?"
"Can somebody get the door?"
He arrived solo. Just another man in a suit walking along Eighth Avenue and disappearing into an office building. Through the revolving doors, up the escalator of the Hearst Tower. He had told no one no one on his congressional staff or in his family, not his parents, not even his wife the reason for the meeting at the offices of Esquire magazine. "I'm the only one who knows," he had said on the phone. He couldn't risk anyone else accidentally saying something, and then becoming enmeshed in a crisis that would consume them, just as he would be consumed once he exposed the truth.
The conference-room door closed, the congressman stirred his coffee and then folded his hands on the table before him, paused for a dramatic moment before beginning to speak. "Gentlemen, what we have here is a constitutional crisis," he said. "If what I've been told is true and I believe it is General David Petraeus, a commander with soldiers deployed in two theaters of war, has had multiple meetings with Dick Cheney, the former vice-president of the United States, to discuss Petraeus's candidacy for the Republican nomination for the presidency. And in fact, that's more than a constitutional crisis. That's treason."
One month before, in early January, Congressman Massa had called me and sketched out the bare bones of the tale he was now propounding. Four retired generals, he said "three four-stars and one three-star" had picked up disturbing reports that Petraeus, the commander of United States Central Command, whose portfolio contains the worst trouble spots on the globe, including Iraq and Afghanistan, had recently met with Cheney twice and Cheney was trying to recruit him to run in 2012. Were he to be the nominee, Massa said, Petraeus would be in the unprecedented position of a military man running for president against his own commander in chief.
"We have to see this for what it is," Massa said, his voice pleading. "There is a reason that we have in this country civilian leadership of the military. It is, among other things, to avoid something like this. Because in order to succeed electorally, General Petraeus must fail militarily. You understand? In order to succeed electorally, he must fail in his mission. Were he to run and win and if he were to run, he would win in a landslide we would be witness to an American coup d'état. It is the functional equivalent of the political overthrow of the commander in chief."
The congressman punctuated his sentence with a snort of indignation, followed by a short, high laugh. He searched the three other faces in the room for affirmation, any sign at all that we understood the gravity of the situation, because he had to that point been living alone with this unseemly knowledge. For a moment, he was met with silence. The story Massa had just told was staggering, and confusing. And just who was this man sitting before us? His eyes were wide and his voice thundered and a couple of times he seemed just short of hyperventilating. But if this story that four generals "people whose names you know, very prominent military men" had brought to him had any basis in fact, and if Petraeus were deliberately undermining his commander in chief, shouldn't somebody be bellowing about it?

AFP via Getty Images
"Congressman Massa," an editor said, "there are coups and then there are elections, and however improper and serious this kind of political activity might be, it wouldn't be a coup, right?"
Massa shot him a look. "I know something about the Uniform Code of Military Justice," he said. "And I want you to tell me how this is not a coup. You've got a commander with armies in the field, and he's plotting with Dick Cheney to bring down his commander in chief. How is that not a coup? It's Seven Days in May!"
The congressman was beside himself. And although we did not come to agreement on how best to describe the implications of such high-stakes, high-level skulduggery, he did manage to impress upon the small group in the soundproof conference room of the midtown high-rise that if the general and the vice-president were indeed hatching such a plot, it was a serious matter indeed.
He also managed to impress upon us something else: Congressman Eric Massa was a little bit crazy.
ASK THE AUTHOR: E-mail Your Questions to Ryan D'Agostino
Of course, if his story were true, and could be verified, would anyone ultimately care about that? After all, if crazy people were disqualified from participation in the significant events of our time, there would be a lot fewer significant events in our time.
He then told us how this task had fallen to him because he knew these generals intimately from his decades as a naval officer and because of his quickly rising prominence as a new member of the House Armed Services Committee. "They said, Eric, this is happening, and you've got to stop it," said the congressman. "And then it became my problem. They've left a steaming pile of dog shit on my desk, and now it belongs to me. And I am now in a position that if I do the right thing, I will likely be destroyed. I know who I'm dealing with here. David Petraeus and I go way back. He's wanted this from the very beginning.
"And mark my words, as a naval officer of twenty-four years who has looked at our current conflicts from every angle, I believe that having David Petraeus as president is precisely the way for the Dick Cheneys of the world to perpetuate these wars for the rest of our lives, and to start new wars. To have endless wars. Endless war is their goal."
The congressman paused, smiled. "Hey, who needs a political career?"

FROM Forbidden Planet (1956)
PLAYED BY Designer Robert Kinoshita's creation Robby the Robot, which went on to appear in a handful of other movies and TV shows
PROGRAMMING In this sci-fi version of Shakespeare's The Tempest, Robby is the Ariel figure, at the beck and call of solitary Morbius (Walter Pidgeon) and his daughter Altaira (Anne Francis, pictured).
SPECIAL FEATURES Though he looks like a jukebox (especially the way his parts awaken and twirl when someone asks him to do something), he's a skilled butler, capable of making dresses for Altaira or synthesizing gallons of whiskey.
MEMORABLE LINE ''I rarely use [oxygen] myself, sir. It promotes rust.''
WHY HE PUSHES OUR BUTTONS Although today he seems quaintly stiff and clunky, Robby was clearly influential such mechanical men as the Robinsons' robot on Lost in Space (also designed by Kinoshita) bear his classic imprint.

Yesterday, just after Ami's post "What Was Your Best Day Of 2010?" went live, a friend kindly emailed me to tell me that Miike Snow was misspelled. I appreciate her keeping me on my toes—as a Copy Editor tending to lots of posts throughout the day, there are things I miss sometimes. But the band Miike Snow is actually spelled that way with two i's. "That's so dumb," she replied. And she's right! There are a lot of dumb spellings for band names, but even more annoying, to me at least, are the celebs who spell their names in silly, strange ways just to be different. Those celebs can really ruin my day. Here are the top 10 offenders of recent memory.

Canine Influenza
Posted: Feb 16 2012
Just like people, dogs are at risk of developing the flu. Canine flu virus is a growing problem throughout the US because of increased interaction between individual dogs and among shelter dog populations. Canine flu virus spreads through airborne particles and contaminated surfaces. Symptoms of canine flu vary but may include fever, runny nose and cough. A percentage of infected dogs will not exhibit any symptoms and a small percentage of canine flu sufferers will go on to develop pneumonia.
Petfinder.com Foundation and Merck, manufacturer of the canine flu vaccine, recently teamed up to provide free flu vaccine to 1400 animal shelters as part of a new initiative, Building Community Immunity. If your dog comes in frequent contact with other dogs through dog day care, training, boarding or other interaction, you may want to talk with your vet about the pros and cons of canine flu vaccine. If you are adopting a pet from your local shelter, be sure to talk with your adoption supervisor about recent flu outbreaks so that you are able to provide the very best care and support for your new family member as well as existing ones.
You can help prevent the spread of canine flu virus (any many other diseases) by disinfecting surfaces frequently and managing your dog's health closely. If you suspect that your dog has the flu, contact your veterinarian immediately and keep your pet away from other dogs until he or she has recovered.

By Polly Keary, Editor
Misael Margarito Sanchez was 16 when he went missing from his Snohomish home in August of 2011.
It was thought that he ran away, perhaps to Mexico.
His family still hopes to find him.
And Shelby Raistlin Wright would be 20 today, if found. The Snohomish boy went missing in July of 2004.
All over Washington State, families are trapped in a limbo between hope and despair, wondering, sometimes for years, what happened to a family member who has disappeared.
Denise Hilker of Monroe wants to help bring those missing family members home. So she has teamed up with a friend's Olympia non-profit The Trinity Project, a resource and outreach organization to help find the missing, and is soon to hold a garage sale to raise funds for the effort to expand the mission to include missing adults.
Hilker's sister got involved when learning of a Tumwater Walmart coworker's ordeal. The coworker was the mother of Lindsay Baum, 10, who disappeared in McCleary, Wash. June 26, 2009.
In December, the friends began a webpage called thetrinityassignments.com, including flyers and information about many Washington children, some of whom have been missing for years.
Now they are starting a new non-profit to focus on missing adults, as well.
"There are a lot of teenage girls and young women that go missing and don't get found who are sold into human trafficking," said Hilker.
So in order to help get the new organization registered as a 501c3, a process that costs several hundred dollars, Hilker is planning to hold a garage sale at the end of April.
Already people have volunteered items for the sale, which is kind, said Hilker, but so far she has nowhere to store the items. She also is looking for a place to hold the sale.
She hopes to help spread information about missing people, and create awareness of the extent of human trafficking.
"People just aren't aware of how extensive it is," she said.

Kitchen Helpers
Salad spinner
This little guy will make your cooking life a whole lot easier. While at first you might shrug a salad spinner off as an indulgent extra for lazy folk, it's a great way to simplify the salad-making process and encourage you to ensure every meal your family is served is accompanied with a fresh side salad. This kitchen tool essentially rinses your greens and removes all excess water so you won't be tempted to dry your lettuce on dirty old tea towels -- or even worse, skip the wash altogether. These are usually made from plastic and contain an inner, removable strainer that sits inside an outer bowl. You can opt for buttons, strings or handles to get the strainer spinning. Just make sure you think about where you'll be able to store this bulky gadget if you're tight on kitchen space.
Kitchen timer
Sure you might rely on your mobile phone to do all your alarm setting for you, but there's certainly value in having a separate timer in the kitchen. Like when you want the hubby or kids to try their hand at cooking, for instance... While you can go always for the budget-friendly egg timer option, a digital, programmable timer might just change your life! This kind of timer will allow you to time a few different dishes at once to help you stay on track and stop you from forgetting about one pot boiling on the stove while you're checking on trays in the oven. We all know cooking a well-rounded meal for the family or friends usually involves a number of different dishes or courses, so the programmable timers are perfect to help take the stress out of entertaining. And if you get one small enough, you can even pop it in your pocket while you hang out the washing or take a break with a cuppa.
Cookbook holder
Invest in one of these and you'll wonder how you ever got on without it! If your cookbooks are all smeared with gravy splotches and beaten cake batter, a clear plastic cookbook holder might be a fantastic investment. Not only will it keep your documents and recipes clean, but it will also raise them so they're closer to eye level and you won't have to strain your neck to read each step. And when you're finished with it, you can simply wipe it off and pack it away.
Meat thermometer
Do you get panicky when you have to cook a big roast or meat-focused dish for a large group of guests? Freak out about cooking the Christmas turkey in March? Well a meat thermometer will take all of the guesswork out of these stressful cooking missions and will mean that you're alerted when your meat is cooked to perfection. Your stress levels and your satisfied guests will thank you for it!
Compost bucket with charcoal filter
What do you do with your food scraps? Throw them away or recycle them? Well a user-friendly compost bucket might be all you need to kick-start a more environmentally-friendly way of disposing of your fruit and veggie leftovers. Chuck all of your peels, cores, etc in these handy little gadgets and transfer outside to a larger compost bin or straight into your garden. While of course you can use any container as a small kitchen compost bin, if you invest in one with a charcoal filter it'll cut out the smell factor too; carbon filters are used to absorb odours and prevent those pesky bugs from flying around the kitchen. Try to find one with a handle to make your life even easier!

For years, Fresh Pac International, Oceanside, Calif., has gotten good results growing most of its roma tomatoes in shade houses in Baja California.
This year, the company also moved its vine-ripe, cherry and grape tomatoes indoors and has enjoyed better yields and improved quality compared with field-grown product, said Brian Bernauer, director of sales and marketing.
"Consequently, demand is up also," Bernauer said.
The trend toward protected agriculture continues to expand throughout Mexico as growers there look for ways to improve yields and quality while keeping pests at bay.
Joe Bernardi, president of Bernardi & Associates Inc., a Nogales, Ariz.-based brokerage with an office in San Diego, said nearly all the tomatoes the company deals with are grown in shade houses.
"The industry as a whole asks for shade house product," he said. "It's a cleaner tomato. It's better conditioned. It's a better-quality product."
San Diego-based Royal Flavor LLC sources nearly all of its vine-ripe, grape and roma tomatoes from shade houses or greenhouses in three areas of Baja California, said Steve Yasuda, sales manager.
"Anything else is a thing of the past," he said.
Santa Ana, Calif.-based United Greenhouse LLC grows tomatoes-on-the-vine year-round in hydroponic greenhouses in Baja California, said owner Ari Canelos.
The company has about 100 acres of greenhouses.
"Hydroponics really (does) help with the quality," Canelos said.
Ten years ago, 100% of the tomatoes that San Diego-based Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce grew in Baja California were grown in open fields, said Mark Munger, vice president of marketing. But as disease began to set in, the company started moving its fruit into shade houses.
Benefits of shade houses are many, Munger said. Growers need fewer pesticide applications, they can reduce their water use because there's less evaporation, and the amount of packable product increases to as much as 95% because tomatoes are grown in such a pristine environment.
Higher production per acre helps offset the significant cost of building shade houses, Munger added.
"I think we're doing a better job of growing," Bernauer said. "And a lot of that has to do with growing indoors."
Fresh Pac did not produce vine-ripe or cherry tomatoes last year because growers could not maintain consistent quality, he said.
"We had times when the quality would be great," he said, "but there were times when it would suffer due to outdoor variables."

Nationality: German
Date of birth: 17 June 1955
Association president since: 2012
• Matthias Voigt has been a passionate hobby footballer since his early youth. A knee injury meant an early end to his playing days, but he quickly found that a career as a football official also suited him. He lives in Triesenberg with his family.
• From 2008 until 2012 he was vice-president of FC Triesenberg. In 2011, Voigt was elected as vice-president of the Liechtenstein Football Association (LFV) and in March 2012, he became president at the delegates' meeting. A selfemployed entrepeneur, he worked in financial services and corporate consulting, and was president of the Liechtenstein Investment Fund Association for 12 years until February 2012.
• Voigt is especially keen on improving the grassroots aspect of the game in Liechtenstein: "We need to assume that over the short or long term, we will have less youngsters playing football. There are seven clubs in our country which require youth teams and also have a need to nurture them. They have a socio-political responsibility. We need to make sure football remains attractive and ensure that boys and girls keep on coming to play football. We also need to work out special structures which will help us to develop talents further and get them to an elite level."

In 2011 I owned and operated a yoga studio in Hollywood. We quickly acquired 600+ customers and built an online community of thousands that's still growing. We got shout-outs from publications like Los Angeles Confidential and Huffington Post as the "cool new yoga studio." Despite these successes, we ran out of capital too quickly due to the cost of things like rent, utilities, and having a dozen yoga teachers on salary. I made a tough decision to close the studio at the end of the year.
Now my time is spent job hunting, networking, freelancing, and philosophically appreciating 2011. I have learned that a good life is possible on a lot less money. While my savings and retirement accounts are empty (I promise, Amanda, that will change soon!), it's comforting to know life's still fully enjoyable on less. How? With a few little comforts and bits of fun to stay sane.
My 3 Tenets of the Good Life:
Food: I love cooking at home for friends instead of spending money at restaurants. But I sometimes use BlackBoardEats coupons. You pay nothing upfront and the discount isn't devastating to vendors (who have to eat an 80% discount with Groupon).
Wellness: Runs, yoga, and Pilates are at LA Fitness for $20/month. A fitness routine provides mental clarity and structure. If I really need a high end yoga class, I go to discount classes offered by studios during off-peak hours. I also barter, offering my technical services in exchange for massages and facials. Gotta look pretty for interviews!
Fun: Hubby and I enjoy the free offerings via Netflix. A Breaking Bad marathon makes your own life seem less screwed up! We also love going to Griffith Park or Runyon Canyon for "therapy hikes," getting our blood pumping and venting to each other about work, or lack of it!
Looking for a fun way to make some extra dough and pick up a bargain to freshen up your wardrobe? I've sold lots of stuff on Craigslist, eBay, and at Crossroads Trading Company. I occasionally give myself back a little clothing bargain I find. As of this writing, I'm wearing a $10 jacket that I get compliments on every day. I've even worn it to interviews!
