A light yellow urine color usually indicates a very healthful urine. The light straw yellow urine will have a low odor, few bubbles in the urine, minimal froth, and have a clear urine regularity.
Your urine is most likely healthful.
Although it appears to be that the more clearer the urine the more healthful, which is not the case. If your urine color is very clear, it is showing a high concentration of water, along with a lower concentration of actual waste. Clear urine could imply you are perfectly hydrated, however low concentration of waste is not necessarily a good thing. This means that you have to pee more to get rid of waste your body does not require.
Now, while it is easy to state that you have healthful urine if the urine color is light yellow, you have to pay attention to other factors to be sure you are actually healthful.
Regardless of the healthy urine color, the next problems may mean there are some health problems to watch for.
- Have you got painful urination?
- Is it difficult to urinate?
- Are you peeing more than normal?
- Does your light yellow urine have blood in it?
If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms with your peeing, note the frequency. If it proceeds for longer than a day, please see your doctor.

The Department of Justice filed a formal lawsuit against the state of Florida to head off the state's plan to purge ineligible voters from its rolls.
It's the latest salvo in an ongoing legal battle, as the DOJ claims that Florida's attempts to remove ineligible voters violates a federal law that's meant to prohibit such purges within the 90-day period before an election for federal office. In this case, the law restricts the state's actions in the period before August 14, the date of Florida's official primary election.
"The Department of Justice has an overriding interest in protecting the rights of eligible citizens to register and vote free from unlawful burdens, while at the same time ensuring that ineligible persons do not register and vote in federal elections in violation of the law," said Thomas E. Perez, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. "The department is committed to enforcing the National Voter Registration Act so that these objectives are met."
The DOJ's lawsuit seeks a court order declaring that Florida has violated the law and calls on the courts to keep the state from continuing with the voter purge program. The state had distributed purge lists to county election officials, but all attempts to purge voters stopped after the DOJ's order earlier this month.
Florida filed its own lawsuit yesterday against the Department of Homeland Security, claiming the federal agency illegally restricted access to information on people who might not be eligible to vote.
Both lawsuits, along with one filed by the Florida ACLU against the state, ensure that the voter registration and removal issue will remain a contentious one up to the November elections.

Indians working at American military bases in Afghanistan are being looked after by the US authorities, Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs Vyalar Ravi told the Lok Sabha Wednesday.
Ravi, in a written reply, also told the parliament that India had not signed any memorandum of understanding with the Afghan government for the protection and welfare of Indian immigrants in the troubled country.
He said that security agencies of Afghanistan had always helped provide security to Indian workers at the places where they worked and stayed.
'Moreover, most of the Indian workers work inside US bases in Afghanistan. These bases are generally secure and the welfare aspects for the workers are looked after by the US authorities,' Ravi said.
Around 3,000 Indians work in construction projects in Afghanistan, according to the ministry of external affairs. It says majority of them work in US bases set up as part of the International Security Assistance Force.

WildStar Wednesday is upon us and Carbine is sharing with us this week what they call a Game Jam. Mr. Claveau explains what that means below.
Quote from Loic "Atreid" ClaveauA Game Jam is a chance for we designers to stretch our legs creatively. It is an opportunity for us to try designing new things, things that we may not get a chance to handle in our day-to-day routine. We come in on a Saturday with a broad task at hand, and spend the next 8 hours working in small teams to create something fun and playable from start to finish.
Quote from Loic "Atreid" ClaveauEach Game Jam we try to tackle something different. We strive to ensure that a Game Jam isn't just: "Hey, come in and do your normal work, but on a weekend!" We want to try our hands at tasks we normally wouldn't attempt because it is not part of our day-to-day jobs.
Even with the overly abundant use of the word 'jam' and it's brothers like 'jammening', it's a nice peak into what Carbine does to make working on their game even more fun. I'm sure some wacky things make it into the game because of their Game Jamming and I can't wait until they have some examples they can show us.

The New Zealand team actually won the three—way team completion on a score of 171.8 but, as they have already qualified, it was a two way fight between Australia and Japan. The Australians were the bookie's favourite to secure qualification but it was not to be. Behind the Japanese after cross-country, their challenge evaporated in the show jumping after Brook Staples and Ever So Clever were eliminated. The horse took a dislike to an oxer and refused and demolished it twice – as the team was already down to three riders following Lucinda Fredericks' fall from Nysa De Petra on the cross-country phase, Brook's elimination meant that the team could not complete. In a statement Technical Delegate Gillian Kyle said: 'After reviewing the video of Brook's round it was determined that the horse did not go through both sets of red flags on the right hand side of the fence when it went through the wing on its second attempt. Under FEI rules, two refusals in the show jumping results in elimination.'
The sum total of this was Olympic qualification for Japan. Their highest placed combination was Kenki Sata with Chippieh who finished 12th, followed by Takaeki Tsuchiya with Jackabee in 18th and Atushi Negishi with Mavrick Du Granit in 30th. Their final team member Takayuki Yumira with Hooligan finished 31st. Like Ireland, the Australians will now have to rely on qualifying enough individual riders for London 2012 to form a team.

As I have mentioned we are moving in about a week. The new kitchen has basic cabinets and I'm going to have to do some sort of pull out shelving to ease my back. I know there are tons on-line products but wanted some input and experiences. Also the pantry is small with ventilated shelving.Ideas please! |

Rev-a-shelf has a complete line of products. I have their laundry bins in my laundry closet and they're working very well. I know several in the kitchen forum that use/like them too. My old kitchen was similar to yours and we put wire baskets in the cabinets that slide which helped enormously. Good luck with your move. |
Here is a link that might be useful: rev-a-shelf
Our kitchen was remodeled about 5 years ago, and when considering the pull-out feature for base cabinets, I decided against it. It gives you less actual storage space. As a back-saver-solution, many like-items in the lower cabinets are stored in bins/baskets. These can temporarily be set on the counter for the task at hand. Also as a back-saver, I keep a small folding chair in one of my tall cabinets, that I use when I need to spend time organizing a lower cabinet or when I clean out the fridge. (This is also handy as extra seating at the table when guests are over.) I bought mine locally, at a place called Amazing Savings for about $7, but I've since seen them at Walmart. I've seen them with and without backs. I'm sorry I didn't get two since it is also useful when filing or cleaning out dresser drawers. But it is very lightweight and worth retrieving when needed.

shelvesthatslide.com makes pullouts to order--lots of different styles, different slides, different heights to the sides. Good directions for how to order them. Not difficult to put in for someone w/ a little experience w/ a drill and a level. It's true pullouts eat up some of the storage space. So do drawers (my cabinet drawers do not go all the way to the back of the cabinet--there's about a 2" gap back there). But if back problems are a problem, it's a fair trade-off to make. If you have a handyman type person around, you can order drawer boxes from some place like MapleCraftUSA.com, and order the adjustable drawer-slide setup from Rockler.com (do a Google search for "drawer boxes" and find lots of companies that sell drawer boxes, which is all a pullout is anyway; just perhaps w/ a shorter side, and they'll make them that way too; most hardware sources will sell the adjustable-shelf-standard/drawer-slide setup) The brackets work w/ 3/4 and full-extension slides. My vote: get full extension, and see if you can put 3 in a spot most people would put 2 (lay cans on their sides, for example, and space the shelves very closely together, so the fattest can JUST slips by). |

"A paper cup is not a paper cup. It's a cup with an oil coating on it, so it's not recyclable," he states. "The studies that we've done show that not only does that not work (switching to paperboard) from a litter standpoint. But you increase greenhouse gas, you increase the amount of waste generated. … Styrofoam is 95 percent air."
He asserts that most of the proposed substitutes are heftier products, therefore they require more fuel to truck to the landfill. Also, Levy pushes the fact that Styrofoam doesn't take up as much space as other presumed Styro replacements would – forget that it takes hundreds of years to decompose.
"So you're also sacrificing performance," Levy reasons. "When people put on a cardboard sleeve or an extra insulator on
their paper coffee cup, that can't be good for the environment either…" Thusly, Levy side-steps the core issue: whether or not Styrofoam is dangerous to the environment.
Mark Westlund, spokesperson for the environmental department in San Francisco, which banned the use of Styrofoam and plastic clamshell containers last summer, says Levy's statements are plain inaccurate.
"He's dead wrong. We recycle paper board all the time. But you can't recycle polystyrene. It's not recyclable
anywhere," he says.
Westlund also rejects the plastics industry argument that the problems posed by Styrofoam can be solved by enforcing existing litter laws or changing the behavior of people who litter.
"But it's not their fault – that's what the plastics industry always says: It's not their responsibility,
it's the people's. And that's why we pick up after them. … If Styrofoam were recyclable, compostable or
biodegradable, then we'd use it," Westlund says, noting that 80 percent of San Francisco's restaurants have complied with the Styrofoam ban and seem to have no problem with it (and the city hasn't written a single ticket).

well there should be a neoprene-ish part (I'm assuming that's what you mean by fabric?) and that is where you put the pins. Sometimes there is a plastic divider between each "page" so they don't scratch.

**We love surveys that connect seemingly random things –
According to a study out of the Polish Academy of Sciences, people in long-distance relationships are more likely to have TALLER CHILDREN than people who aren't.
The reason? It's better to have children with someone who was born as far away from you as possible . . . and people in long-distance relationships are more likely to be from different places.
When you have kids with someone from far away, it cuts down the chance of minor genetic inbreeding . . . and gives your kids the best odds of being as tall, strong, and healthy as possible.
People in long-distance relationships averaged boys who were 20% taller and girls who were 14% taller.

One week after a Republican Governors Association front group went on the air in Kentucky with ads depicting our economy as a nightmare and David Williams as its solution, today sees Steve Beshear countering with two ads touting himself as Mr. Jobs Jobs Jobs. Via cn|2, here they are:
The first ad includes Jerry Abramson's first speaking role in an advertisement so far, as well as a bizarre and inexplicable split screen handshake at the end. Oh, and did Steve mention jobs at all? Yeah, a few times. Expect to get used to that. Say what you want about Steve Beshear, but the man knows how to stay on message (the majority of his campaign website consists of press clips over the past three years touting new jobs, though none of the layoffs, of course).
At least you'll have another three weeks or so until Fancy Farm, after which your television set will be a constant three-month blaze of hyper-negative ads coming from both sides.

Not a butterfly but I really am fascinated by hummingbird moths. I plan to plant some host plants this fall and I was wondering, does anyone know where to find caterpillars for sale to raise and release? |

Depending on your region, it would be a lot easier to plant host plants and attract the moths that way. Hummer moths use pretty much the same nectar plants as Hummingbirds (Salvia, Agastache, etc). Depending on the species, Snowberry (Snowberry Clearwing) and Honeysuckle, as well as Viburnum (Hummingbird clearwing) work great as hosts.Grape and Virginia Creeper also bring in some different species, such as the White Lined Sphinx and others. And of course, the easiest to attract, there is the famous Tomato Hornworm Sphinx. |
Oh WOW! Thanks Leafhead for responding...I saw a Hummingbird moth for the first time in my garden about a month ago. I was so excited! Now I know why....I have 3 snowberry bushes! I bought them because I liked the pink berries, not realizing they were a host plant! (sorry for all the exclamation points, but I'm very excited :) I'm going out right now to inspect the bushes - maybe I'll see some cats! |
- Posted by Leafhead 4b WI (email@example.com) on Thu, Oct 10, 13 at 15:14
Good luck finding some late cats, but they should be going into the ground to pupate for the Winter very soon. I can hardly express the excitement of my first sighting up here in Madison, WI!! (Like seeing a Monarch or Atala Butterfly for the first time.) My neighbors had never seen anything like it either. Now they look for them:-) |

- Posted by Leafhead 4b WI (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Oct 13, 13 at 22:49
I think any type will work, but native is always best. |
- Posted by Corgikarma none (My Page) on Mon, Oct 14, 13 at 10:25
I always go native when I can. Unfortunately no one has any native honeysuckle in my neck of the woods right now and I needed to get this planted so I can mulch for colder temps. (Most people look at me like I have three heads when I tell them I'm looking for things like milkweed and honeysuckle haha) |
- Posted by Leafhead 4b WI (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Oct 14, 13 at 12:29
Sounds good to me:) Any honeysuckle should work, esp as a nectar source for real hummers as well as a host for Hummingbird Clearwings. (People often look at me cross-eyed when I offer to take home their stinging nettles hahaha!!) |
- Posted by mary_littlerockar 8a-7b mid Arkansas (email@example.com) on Mon, Oct 21, 13 at 13:58
And please don't forget nectar plants. I enjoy visits of both types of Hummingbird moth most of the summer. I don't have their host plants but they nectar each day on various blooming plants. They especially enjoy Butterfly Bush, Lantana and Verbena bonairiensis here in my area. Usually grown as an annual, the Verbena bonairiensis roots overwinter here and begin to put out new growth very early in the spring, so I have blooms of this plant quite early. All the butterflies, moths and bee's love these little blooms. Mary hummingbird moth feeding on the bloom of Verbena bonairiensis |

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Matete, Mampiti Elizabeth firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-06052006-145825 Document Title The ecological economics of inter-basin water transfers: the case of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project Degree PhD (Agricultural Economics) Department Agricultural Economics, Extension and Rural Development Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof R Hassan Keywords
- South Africa
- human wellbeing
- Lesotho
- Interbasin water transfers (IBWT)
- Lesotho Highlands water project (LHWP)
- ecological social accounting matrix (ESAM)
Date 2004-05-08 Availability unrestricted Abstract This study developed a general framework that can be applied to integrating environmental sustainability aspects into economic development planning in the case of exploiting water resources through inter-basin water transfers (IBWT). Using the Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP) between Lesotho and South Africa (SA), the study used the multi-country ecological social accounting matrix (MC-ESAM) for Lesotho and SA to integrate ecological implications of the LHWP with the economic benefits of the project. The study further used the developed MC-ESAM multipliers to analyse the impact of lost ecological services downstream the LHWP dams in Lesotho on the wellbeing of households directly affected by the project in Lesotho and the general economies of Lesotho and SA. The MC-ESAM multipliers were also used to analyse different policy scenarios aimed at compensating affected households in Lesotho for ecological losses.The results revealed that while the LHWP has significant direct and indirect benefits in terms of social and economic development in Lesotho and SA, the project has serious unitended impacts on ecological resources and services, with resultant deleterious wellbeing implications for populations residing within the reaches of the LHWP rivers and downstream the LHWP dams in Lesotho. The results from the MC-ESAM multiplier analysis indicated that not only the income of populations directly affected by the project in Lesotho is likely to fall, but also that of other households and social groups, as well as the general economies of Lesotho. Also, because of economic dependence of Lesotho on SA in terms of imports, SA will also loose.
The policy simulation results showed that compensating the ecological losses would greatly improve the welfare of directly affected populations and the rest of Lesotho economy. The empirical analysis and policy simulations results showed relatively small impacts in general, but were significant for groups of people directly affected by the project in Lesotho. The study demonstrated the importance of integrating ecological consequences into impact assessment of IBWT before such transfers can be implemented to ensure Pareto optimality and of considering economy-wide impacts and multi-sector, multi-country linkages associated with IBWT for a holistic impact assessment of IBWT.

Spring Week 1
What a beautiful day!
Today is second day of the spring quarter and it seems that the students are enjoying the nice weather!
A couple of reminders as the quarter begins:
Now, on a completely different topic….
We are in midst of doing final planning for Summer Orientations for the freshman class of 2010, and I am once again in charge of the Parent Information Session. You may or may not recall this from your orientation, but we had a short presentation and then a panel with 2 parents sharing their experience. In the past, I have always called on parents who are faculty or staff on campus. However, I am wondering if it would beneficial to have a couple of parents who are not affiliated with the university sit on the panel this year??
So, my questions are:
1—Do you think having non-university people sit on the panel would be beneficial?
2—Would you be willing/available/interested in being one of those parents?
Any feedback on this topic would be appreciated.

As if the DB9 weren't already sexy as all get-out, Aston Martin is rolling out a topless version this fall. The coupe's swoopy styling--by Henrik Fisker--is undiminished by the top chopping, and Aston even managed to maintain the rear seats (although they are largely decorative). The soft top is fully automatic and stores under a hard tonneau. In the event of a rollover, pop-up hoops deploy from behind the rear headrests. Like the coupe, the Volante is powered by a 5.9-liter V-12 with a choice of a six-speed manual or a paddle-shift automatic transmission.
ON SALE: Fall 2004
PRICE: $175,000 (est.)
ENGINE: 450-hp, 5.9-liter V-12
BOTTOM LINE: It knows the way to Saint-Tropez.

I would try to pick up a bit more of the sparkle in the breakfast room light. Even a similar chandelier, but with just a handful of crystals dangling would "speak" to the island lights more, I think. Beautiful choices, though! And your current kitchen is gorgeous! |

New question: These are the lights I have in my current kitchen and dining (without the shades on the black chandelier): My original plan was to just buy the same lights because I love them so much. But then I started looking at lights and found the chandeliers. Now I can't decide which direction I want to go. The houses will be similar in style. The walls will be super light gray, wood floors, white baseboards/crown. The kitchen cabinetry will be a darker gray with the island being a little lighter and having a butcher block top. Kind of a clean, crisp look with rustic accents (cedar beams, the handscraped wood floors, stone to the ceiling fireplace). My current lights will kind of be safe with the rustic accents. The chandeliers will add just a bit of glam in the mix. I think I like both options equally. What do you all think? |
I like the crystal pendants. We have similar tastes. I have a Hundi lantern in my staircase, and crystal pendants from pottery barn over my island. Maybe you can use the lantern in a hall way or entryway? |
- Posted by kisforkyla (My Page) on Tue, Mar 12, 13 at 15:32
My entryway is very open and will be visible from the living/kitchen/breakfast. Will the Hundi in the entry look okay with the crystal pendants and the Ethan Allen chandelier? The styles seem too different to me, but I'm not great at this stuff. That's why I'm here. :) |
I love all the fixtures you are looking at, but I would consider putting the crystal fixture in another location before I would use three of them together. I love one over the tub, but it a diminishing return with two over the table. I think I'd like it less with three over the island. When you go for something that has a Wow factor, you don't want to lose the Wow by overdoing it. Just my thoughts. |
- Posted by kisforkyla (My Page) on Thu, Mar 14, 13 at 22:05
Thanks again for all your responses! Polly, those pendants are beautiful! I'm kinda wishing PB still carried them. K, another question. My husband has approved two of the Ethan Allen lights, one for the breakfast and one for the entry. Would that be too matchy matchy? |

I planted various lilies from seed in pots last spring and was advised to keep them in the pots over the winter to transplant in spring. So, once they died down, I brought the pots home with me to MD, intending to put them on my porch, but **forgot** I went away for several days and when I returned these formerly dormant seedlings had not only sprouted but were elongated and white, reaching for light-maybe as much as a foot long each! I am flummoxed and have no idea if I can salvage this situation. Do I have any way to save these or do I have to start over in the spring? These are lilies like Lilium longiflorum, Chinese lilies, etc. Darn. |

At this point you don't have much to lose. If these pots have been fairly dry (but somewhat moist) you could try setting them on your porch now with some cover to prevent really deep freezing. The existing foliage will freeze off, of course--which shouldn't hurt. They should resume growth in the Spring. Keep them in their current pots until Fall (Oct) and transplant then. Keep in mind your situation is far from ideal so expect some loses, but with a little luck, you might be happily surprized also. Liliums are a pretty resilient bunch! Your new property sounds very intersting to me! Best wishes! |

Growing the Gathering Darkness
Announcing Miskatonic Horror, a unique Arkham Horror expansion |
Arkham Horror | Published 17 February 2011 |
A recent find at Miskatonic University has unearthed even more mysteries pertaining to the strange happenings in Arkham, Massachusetts. While the worshippers of the Ancient One grow in strength, the stalwart defenders of this sleepy town are put to the ultimate test.
Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming release of Miskatonic Horror, an expansion for Arkham Horror. The fight against the unknown forces of the cosmos is far from over, and those that thought they stood a chance against the mythos have a lesson to learn.
Miskatonic Horror is a new type of Arkham Horror expansion that builds upon the materials found in the ample library of other Arkham Horror expansions. While the components and rules found in Miskatonic Horror can be enjoyed with only the Arkham Horror base game, the more expansions you incorporate, the more aspects of Miskatonic Horror you can enjoy.
With nearly 450 new cards, Miskatonic Horror adds new Mythos and Location cards for Dunwich, Kingsport, and Innsmouth, as well as new cards for Gates, Epic Battles, Relationships, Injuries, Madness, Skills, Blights, and much more. Miskatonic Horror provides new materials for every Arkham Horror expansion.
Continue your Investigations
Miskatonic Horror includes:
Just a Taste of the Coming Terrors
As you can see, Miskatonic Horror is packed with new material for the Arkham Horror base game and each of its expansions. Whether you're looking to expand your Arkham Horror base game, or enhance your expansions, Miskatonic Horror is a veritable library of new material.
To get an idea of how your Arkham Horror expansions can be enhanced by Miskatonic Horror, let's take a look at what's in store for players seeking to learn more about the mysterious cult in The Black Goat of the Woods.
The Black Goat of the Woods expansion adds several new features to Arkham Horror, such as corruption cards and the "One of the Thousand" cult membership cards. Miskatonic Horror further expands the presence of this elusive cult by adding a new deck of Cult Encounter cards to be added to those found in The Black Goat of the Woods.
(The back and front of a Cult Encounter card. Click the Front card to enlarge)
Players must discover the secrets of this growing cult presence in Arkham, but in order to learn its secrets they must infiltrate the secret society. When investigators choose to join the "One of the Thousand" cult, they must draw alternative Encounter cards when snooping around the darker corners of Arkham.
The Cult Encounter deck from The Black Goat of the Woods adds an exciting twist to your normal encounters, and Miskatonic Horror enhances this by delving further into the cult and drawing players deeper into the story that surrounds it
New to the Town
In addition to the cards, Miskatonic Horror also includes player reference sheets to easily keep track of the different happenings in Arkham that correlate with the number of players. These sheets will tell you how many Gates can be open, the Monster Limit (in both the streets and the Outskirts), and how many monsters appear when a Gate opens, all based on the number of investigators present.
Finally, Miskatonic Horror introduces the Institution variant. Similar to the Herald and Guardian variants introduced in earlier expansions, the Institution variant allows players to choose an Institution sheet to incorporate into their game. Several powerful organizations exist in Arkham, each one with their own agenda. When using the Institution variant, one of these organizations is put into play and that Institution will provide investigators with new options and benefits during their game. Stay tuned for more information on these influential Institutions, and what they can do for your investigation.
Open the doors to Miskatonic University and experience the new discoveries that await you with Miskatonic Horror. Whether you're looking to expand your base game, or anxious to enhance each of your Arkham Horror expansions, Miskatonic Horror will deliver. But beware... the terrors that lie inside are expanding, and soon you will see more of what lies in wait for your future Arkham Horror experiences.
Arkham Horror is a board game of mystery and madness set in Arkham in the 1920's. 1-8 players cooperate to investigate the strange happenings about the town, and race to prevent ancient evil from surfacing.
WHEN we want to know when!!!!
If possible include in this future expansion the official heralds of Dunwich Horror and Black Pharaoh?
@ Doc
That would be a great expansion idea, but I doubt we'll see it this time.
I have awaited this expansion for a very long time and it's gonna be added to my collection as soon as it will be on my game store shelves. And, of course, I expect many things from this expansion, but on top of the list it's probably:
give us gates, rifts and monsters in Kingsport !!!!!!
My 2 pennies.
O.K. a gigantic box in which everything would have fit inside would have been cool, but well...
Nice! More cards and variability for the base game is a great thing. Give us more! I don't want to read an encounter that I have read before a single time :)
New locations are always great, and the feeling of having an expansion for expansions is... well, interesting. The more you have, the better. Just a reason for everyone to buy more. Good move, FFG :)
I can't wait for it!!!
Awsome news! Can't wait long enough!!! (Sanity check!)
I agree that this would be a perfect opportunity to provide a decent way of organising all the cards, both in the box and for in play.
This is great news,thanks FFG!
I guess I'll have to buy some new trays for the tackle box I use for my games. That doesn't hurt my feelings though.
So glad to see it :)
With each new expansion I was hoping for more variability for thr expansions. There are so many cards for basic games locations that each game feels unique, but expansions are different story.
I'm totally going to buy it. In fact I'm going to buy Arkham expansions as long as FFG will produce them but it's another story ;)
And yes - one box is no longer enough to fit all the game components. Maybe another expansion with a big, big box (like 1,5 times bigger than normal?).

I am a teenager who is very interested in cooking. I am currently looking at different cooking schools, but the one I am most interested in is the CIA in New York. I would like to be a chef or a food writer for a magazine. I live with my two parents, a rabbit and a dog that drives us all crazy. My hobbies are cooking, soccer, and having a good time with my friends. I love to travel and taste the traditional and authentic food of the region I am in. I especially love NY and the unique blend of cultures I experience when I visit.
I have no favorite food, but the foods I like the most are those using fresh vegetables, fruits, meat etc. I also love to eat traditional food that has been prepared this same way for many generations, even when its not the best tasting food I still like experiencing what was eaten so long ago. I LOVE chocolate! I am a chocolate purist, I like mine dark, bittersweet and very rich whether it comes in the form of a bar or a cake. I am not famous for any dishes, but I did send in a recipe to Taste of Home magazine that got published. I try to cook things that are fairly healthful, and I enjoy transforming a rather fattening recipe into something lighter....with the exception of chocolate, no skimping there!

Hendrik Meurkens By Michael Stone Published April 27, 2007 NY Samba Jazz Quintet Zoho Music
German vibes and harmonica master Hendrik Meurkens emerged on the New York jazz scene in the early 1990s, and has recorded with Monty Alexander, Charlie Byrd, Jimmy Cobb, Ivan Lins and Claudio Roditi, among others. On this live set (at Cecil's, the noted Newark, NJ-area jazz club), Meurkens enlists Jed Levy (tenor sax, flute), Helio Alves (piano), Gustavo Amarante (bass), and Adriano Santos (drums). The repertoire includes tunes by Brazilian stalwarts João Donato ("Vamos Nessa," "A Rã"), Djavan ("Flor De Lis") and Antonio Carlos Jobim ("Triste"), an Ira Gershwin standard ("I Can't Get Started"), and four Meurkens originals. As a composer, Meurkens hears the sonic kinship between jazz and Brazilian choro, as on "Mimosa" (featuring the vibes and tenor) and "Menina na Janela" (pairing harmonica and flute leads). Meurkens also salutes Paquito D'Rivera (with whom he has toured) on "Bolero Para Paquito," revealing an affinity for that classic Latin form.

Body Treatments
New Study Indicates Massage Helps Ease Chronic Back Pain
Posted: July 11, 2011
page 2 of 3
"As expected with most treatments, the benefits of massage declined over time," Dr. Cherkin said. "But at six months after the trial started, both types of massage were still associated with improved function." After one year, the benefits of massage were no longer significant.
The bottom line: "We found the benefits of massage are about as strong as those reported for other effective treatments: medications, acupuncture, exercise, and yoga," Dr. Cherkin said. "And massage is at least as safe as other treatment options. So people who have persistent back pain may want to consider massage as an option."
Prior studies of massage for back pain had tested only structural forms of massage, not relaxation massage. But relaxation (also called Swedish) massage is the most widely available and is taught in massage schools. It aims to promote a feeling of relaxation throughout the body. By contrast, structural massage involves identifying and focusing on specific pain-related "soft tissues" (like muscles and ligaments). It requires extra training and may be more expensive -- but more likely to be covered by health insurance plans -- than relaxation massage.
"The massage therapists assumed structural massage would prove more effective than relaxation massage," said Dr. Cherkin's colleague Karen J. Sherman, PhD, MPH, a senior investigator at Group Health Research Institute. "They were surprised when patients in the relaxation group got so much relief from their back pain."
Next steps include figuring out whether the structural and relaxation massages were equally effective for the same -- or for different -- reasons:
- Structural or relaxation massage, or both, might have specific effects, such as stimulating tissue or calming the central nervous system.
- Either or both might work through "nonspecific effects" that may promote a person's ability to play an active role in their own healing. Possible nonspecific effects include: being touched; spending time in a relaxing environment; receiving care from a therapist who seems caring; getting advice on caring for yourself, such as exercises to do on your own; or becoming more aware of your own body, so you're better able to avoid triggers for your back pain.
- Some combination of specific and nonspecific effects might be at play.

I'd like to grow the listed varieties in either central GA (zone 8a) or northern GA (zone 7b). My concern is central GA. Can the fruit trees listed above be grown well in central GA or will they be more fussy Would I have to get low chill varieties of the fruit listed, or could I do the conventional varieties? |

Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector for Combination to Oily Skin - Light
Average Rating 3.6/5 |
Review by Precila101
Previously, I've used Garnier's BB Cream that wasn't oil-free and I had no idea that it had oil in it. So, I bought this BB Cream and never regretted it. Pros: -Blends in nicely -Matte finish -Scent isn't so overpowering that your face swells like a blow fish -Only a small amount is sufficient -Face doesn't end up looking like a grease ball Cons -Tends to emphasize some dry patches on face, not a whole lot, but about the size of a fingertip -Can make skin look a bit pasty (esp. for me, b/c I am naturally tan) -Formula is runny, so pouring out the amount is pretty tricky Other than those listed Pros & Cons, this BB Cream is a good improvement from their previous one, since it doesn't make your face look like a complete grease ball. However, the part about making skin appear pasty is true. Especially if the cold air is blowing against your face, you will look like a ghost. Despite all that, this BB Cream will be my Holy Grail for it's matte finish.

News from the Board March 2014
Last News – After our May Conference in Denmark
We have now held our 2014 Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark: 'Increasing Awareness in a Changing World'. Everyone present agrees that it was a great Conference. I would like to share the words that summed up the IASK forum (about Intention this year): Gratitude, Creativity, Infinity, I am, Focus, Love, Presence, Community, Humility, Holding space, New energy, Gentle, Light, Luck, Truth, Awareness, Faith, Respect, Opportunity, Openness, Flow, Individuality, Transformation, Inspiration.
I think they also describe the feelings we had during that conference. Thank you so much to all the speakers for coming and sharing their knowledge and latest research with us. I would also like to thank the representatives of National Associations who made the trip to Denmark, and participated in the meeting we had arranged for them. Thanks to their willingness and good energy, we have now created a space for all professional associations to get together and promote best practices, research, standards etc. In other words, to help IASK foster the development of Specialized Kinesiology worldwide.
With gratitude,
Nicolette Peyre
IASK: a FORUM for all nationalities and all modalities
IASK was founded in the USA in 1987 on the idea of creating a worldwide organisation for everybody working with the art of muscle testing / muscle monitoring. IASK is YOUR organisation.
In the Bylaws of IASK you will find this definition: "Specialized Kinesiology is the art of assessing the energetic systems of a person by using precision muscle testing as a biofeedback mechanism. Using the same feedback and Specialized Kinesiology methods, a Specialized Kinesiologist
identifies appropriate protocols for promoting, restoring and maintaining balance within these energetic systems. The Practitioner uses an educational model to improve his/her clients' awareness and willingness to foster their own wellbeing."
As a group of IASK members wrote at the General Meeting in 2000 in Holland: "The abundance of knowledge and experience worldwide can, through sharing, become an invaluable source of productivity and creative growth. The members of IASK inspire and enrich each other in their own personal development and professional work."
By reading this you might feel encouraged to register as an IASK member. We suggest that you do so either as a regular member, an associate member or a supporting member. You can get all the details on the page "Join us" and the Membership form and Code of Ethics from the "Downloads" page. You just need to send us your information and the signed "Code of Ethics" together with your payment, and you will receive a membership certificate from the IASK Home office! Easy!
We are very much looking forward to welcoming you and your friends as members.
What is a FORUM?
The objective of a forum is to deepen every participant's thinking process in order to find solutions or to help develop new concepts. It is based on the active contribution of all participants. Each person in turn gets a chance to voice his or her ideas without being interrupted. Of course you can pass your turn at any time. No one is to react to what has been said before. No side conversations will be allowed.
A very important condition for a forum to be successful is that no one feels judged or attacked about his/her ideas. When taking their turn, participants do not make reference to what has been said before. Phrases such as :"I don't agree with Andrew because …", or "Just like Jean, I think that …" are strictly forbidden. They do not add anything and are time consuming, especially if Andrew or Jean does not recognize the words he/she had spoken. Everybody gets hot and starts thinking about things that have nothing to do with the subject at hand. Active and respectful listening creates a safe environment where everyone feels recognized and, as we all know, when there is no stress, self-consciousness tends to disappear and creativity is at its best.
If time permits, each participant gets 2 or more opportunities to share his or her thinking as it evolves, fed as it is by what other participants say. This iterative process is a very productive and effective way of finding the best solution in a very consensual way. If you have never had the experience, I strongly recommend that you try it out at your next professional meeting.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Thomas (foster care)!
Facts about Thomas (foster care)
- Breed: Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)/American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Thomas (foster care)'s Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Are you looking for a new buddy or addition to your family? Check out Thomas! (A19377474)
Hellooo! My name is Thomas! All my friends say I'm a true sweetheart! I came to ACCT because my family could no longer take care of me. I was there for a while and made some nice friends. I now live in foster care, and I like it so much better than the shelter. I am about about 5 to 7 years old, so no puppy shenanigans from me. I am already neutered and micro-chipped, and I have had all my shots. I know "sit," and I am learning to walk really well on my Freedom Harness. My foster mom takes me out on walks and hikes and we get to meet all sorts of dogs. I really like the girls, most boys, and I even like smaller dogs. I think they are really cute! I'm a medium energy dog: I love to get out and stretch my long legs (but I don't need super long walks). I am crate trained and enjoy down time in my comfy bed with a frozen stuffed Kong. I'm an all around happy boy and one of my favorite things is to give huge doggie smooches! So if you you need your face kissed or your glasses smudged, I can help you with that!
Please email my foster mom if you think I am good match for you. You can reach her at firstname.lastname@example.com. I can't wait to hear from you!
Act quickly to adopt Thomas (foster care). Pets at this Shelter may be held for only a short time.
Other Pets at Animal Care & Control Team
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Thomas (foster care), a Philadelphia Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)/American Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)/American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Philadelphia, or seeking a Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)/American Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Philadelphia.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia 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 Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)/American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)/American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Philadelphia paves the way for another one to be saved.

Has anyone purchased these Thuja "green Giant" trees? I am researching them and have found them at Parks, Botany Shop, and Greenwood (great price at Greenwood). Now I'm just wondering about the quality from each of these.

Are you ordering a whole bunch Mel? Musser Forests' website says they have them 10 for $27.50. Is that a good deal? I was going to suggest that you ask this question in the Conifers forum, then noticed you already tried. You might try posting a similar question in the trees forum. |
- Posted by ozarkhelen Z6-Texas County (My Page) on Sun, Feb 20, 05 at 13:53
I have ordered from Mussers and received very good plants from them, and very good plants for the money. I don't know about the thuja. It looks like a pretty tree, one that I have always wanted to try but never got to it. |
I aked about places to purchase Thuja on a few different web sites. And the Botany Shop was recommended most. I checked their prices and they were better than most other sources. In addition, they are located in Joplin! So I'm going to make a trip there this week to purchase about 30 of the Thuja. I'll let you know how it goes in case anyone else is interested. I understand they also have some new varieties of Elm Trees which I'm interested in. (No, I have no association with them.. but would like to support a more local company if the product is of good quality) thanks for the input, Mel |
Thought you might find the info on this person's website interesting since it involves the same tree and the Botany Shop in Joplin. Visited there once and was just amazed at the location, plants, and people. |

We just ordered from the Botany Shop and were really impressed with the quality of plants and the service. The order came complete with stakes and ties and the plants were very healthy and actually larger than we expected. When does that ever happen?! |

I am ordered Thuja GG from the Botany Shop as I read many good reviews on this grower. I opted for a larger 3gal tree and two smaller 1 gal trees. There is an incredible price difference -- $45 for the 3 gal plus shipping is "fat." If you have patience in waiting for the trees to grow (although they are fast growers) you can save a lot of dough going with the smaller specimens. |
I had bought my 8 Green Giant trees from Gurneys last year and would NOT do so again. They were of a good price, but too puny and most of them died even tho I took extra care and precautions with them. I have had better luck and success taking cuttings off my existing Cedar and Arborvitae, with them growing just about as fast as the surviving green Giant trees, last year. strong |
I can recommend the Botany Shop. I order the 1 gallon size two years ago - they were approximately 30 inches tall. All of the them (16 or so) survived an unusally cold snap in the winter that included near 0 degrees F and high winds with only a little browning of some tips and selected branches, which I removed in the spring. These were planted in a windy hilltop clearing for a privacy screen. Now they average 6 to 7 feet tall and some have already grown 1 foot this year. These things really take off after a year of getting settled, but give them room to grow. |
