This is my first year homeschooling, and I have to say, I researched almost every Catholic curriculum out there. I at first fell in love with CHC, then got disenchanted with it's lack of challenge and soft-style, touchy-feely learning. Then, many of my new HS friends were using Mother of Divine Grace, and I looked at them very seriously, but found out that I'm not the Classical Curriculum kind of person. I love their history though, I think reading about something in a book is a better way to learn than just facts. I will probably buy or check out some of those books for my children so they can read about history more. However, when it came right down to it, I could SEE that Seton had it all.. lots of help, an accredited curriculum that I could adjust when needed, and enough work for my previously bored 3rd grader, and yet adjustments for my math-challenged 5th grader. My first grader can even finish his work by 11:30 am most days, and that's a full load! But, that's enough for him.
I know that you are on this site looking for something that will fit your child, and it all seems overwhelming. BEEN THERE! I want you to know that if you do Seton, just for one year, you will find that your children are receiving a better curriculum than the schools are giving out right now, and you will see their skills grow quickly. If you stick with them, you'll see that you can tailor their curriculum a lot more than some people say.
What scared me off initially from them were how many people say that Seton gives too much work. This is true. They have a LOT you COULD do, but what you need to know is that it doesn't ALL need to be done. For example... My 1st grade son at first was flying through his spelling book, so each week I would have him read the words, take the test, and be done for the week. I might have him do one of the pages for that week besides the test. But, all of a sudden, the words were more challenging, so he NEEDED the extra pages to practice with word triangles, or putting the words in ABC order so that he could practice. So, the workbook got used more again. This is how Seton works. If the workbook HELPS, use it. If it's just becoming busy-work, skip it, and just make sure the lessons are understood.
Moreover, I like that the work is challenging. I don't think that if something is difficult we should just find another easier curriculum, it might mean that there's something I need to supplement, or find ways to work with that subject a bit more, because they have to learn it eventually. That's life! I also know that I can work with Seton to find another good fit for my child. For instance, I have an IEW program at my homeschool co-op that I want to enroll my daughter in, and I'm pretty sure if I call them, she can do that work instead of some of the written work she currently has, and for a grade. If not, I can enroll with them subject by subject. Either way, I know that it'll work out.
Finally, I like that for Art, I can use my co-op's art, and that's fine for my teacher grade. I can use music lessons for music, and PE is the grade I give my kids when they join soccer or other physical activities. They give lesson plans because they must, to be accredited, but you can use them at-will. You are still the teacher!
Good luck, and God bless!

I agree with the post below Seton is a great curriculum and does achieve high test scores. That being said I have came to the conclusion that I love Seton for my 5th grader, in the past we have struggled and this year he has improved greatly. I am overall pleased with the structure, and lesson plans. I did substitute his Science for Appologia Zoology I , my only complaint is I would have like to have Harcourt as a option and Seton uses the older editions of Saxon for math. My DS and myself our content with their history as well. I belive it was very solid. That all being said we will be re-enrolling my DS 11 for 6th grade.
Now for my DD 6 who did 1st grade this year..............!!! Ok let me start by saying the English, Spelling , Phonics, and handwriting were great. I was worried at first because when I first recieved the materials I thought it would be to hard for my dd. But she ended up going through phonics and english without any problems but we ended up having to supplement phonics with a accelerated reading lab because she finished the phonics workbooks in 3 months and was reading 3rd grade level readers. I also found myself using the lesson plans half the time because I constantly had to find extras for dd to do. We did struggle with math but we realized that dd does better hands on so setons materials ended up on the side as I supplemented with manipulatives and a silver burnette workbook. We already knew starting this year that dd was gifted (she was suppose to be in K) but after going through this year we realized she needs a more specialized curriculum to suit her. So for the future I will still use some of their materials (spelling, and religion). I almost forgot for science and history at this level I felt it was a little dry and we ended up using alot of DK books and library books.
So basically I think Seton is a great overall program but not for every child. I also wish they were able to be a little more flexible in substituting subjects.

After trying MANY curriculums, Catholic and Protestant, I have come to rest upon Seton. Their curriculum is soundly Catholic and you KNOW your child is getting the best education possible with them. My 2nd grader just took the CAT test yesterday, as required by our school district and he tested at a 4th grade level in every subject. He achieved a stanine score of 9 which is the highest level. I attribute that to Seton materials that he's used since Kindergarten.
Seton books are a little "drier" than others, but you can't beat the material being taught in them. If you're looking for a flashy program with colorful eye catching pages. This isn't for you. But if you want a solidly Catholic curriculum that will give your child the edge he needs to succeed in this world with good SOUND morals, then by all means choose Seton! Please realize that the books from Seton are VERY Catholic, and that's fine with us. We enjoy that. So if you don't mind having the Catholic faith immersed in every subject, then take the plunge. We are not enrolled with Seton at this time. Maybe in the future, I don't know. But as of now I like to be accountable only to me, and make up my lesson plans as I wish. You have that option as well.
I only wish that I had been homeschooled, and with Seton. The gift that I am giving my children by educating them with Seton is the best I could give.
Good luck, God bless and happy homeschooling!!

You're on this site because you're trying to figure out which Catholic curriculum provider to go with. There are several out there, and you've heard good and bad about them all. It is confusing. There are many options. Which one is right? You can pull together your own curriculum from many sources and create your own, tailored plan for your child, without the stamp of a school on a transcript. You can go with a curriculum that is not affiliated with a school, and keep records yourself (Catholic Heritage Curricula). You can go with a school that allows as many substitutions as you desire, and still get a transcript (Kolbe Academy). Or, you can go with the leader of the pack, Seton Home Study School, and feel confidant that you are providing the most complete, challenging, accredited, Catholic education available.
When I first started homeschooling 6 years ago, I used curriculum from many different companies, some Protestant. I do like CHC's spelling over any other, I must say. It incorporates many Catholic words in the lessons, as well as phonics. CHC also has an awesome website with such a "calming" approach to homeschooling—it really is a delight to browse their site and their catalog, as well. A marketing marvel, CHC is…I really wish Seton would learn from that company's presentation and appeal. The Seton marketing folks need a nudge. Their "old fashioned" look does drive me crazy, because they offer much more technology than their image shows…if that makes sense.
Having said that, I choose Seton over the others for a few reasons. One, accreditation. There is no other Cathoic home school that is as accredited as Seton. Period. More top universities have accepted Seton graduates than any other…including WESTPOINT, USNA, etc. Check the statistics. Seton offers a well-thought out, tried and true path for your student to follow. They do allow substitutions (my daughter does Math-U-See instead of their prescribed Math, which is fine—I just have to mail in the proof of her work) here and there, but for the most part, you buy what Seton has decided is best for that grade. I LIKE THAT. I simply don't have time to experiment with this and that for several grades at a time. Tell me what to teach, sell me the books, give me the lesson plan, and unless I have a real issue with it….let's ROLL!
On the negative side, their readers are a bit old fashioned. I don't have a real problem with it. After some of the stories, we discuss that Johnny –in THIS day and age—would not go off alone with a teacher—but these are stories that teach morals, faith and family life from a 1950's perspective. I only wish we were still in that era LOL!!! We have to adjust a little, but can still learn from their messages. CHC does sell some devotional readers that look good, too, and maybe I'll use some as supplements sometime. But I'm okay with Seton's as part of the whole package I get.
Good luck on your search for the right curriculum for your child. I love Seton for their customer service, complete curriculum, lesson plans, and reputation. You simply CAN'T go wrong with Seton . But…no matter what you choose, your child is better off being homeschooled. Congrats on your decision to homeschool and God bless you and your homeschool adventure.

Lung Nodule Clinic
Thomas Jefferson University's pulmonary division, together with support from related disciplines including radiology, thoracic surgery, and medical/radiation oncology, is leading a novel effort to streamline the initial intake and management of patients with solitary pulmonary lung nodules. This is being spearheaded by the establishment of a pulmonary nodule clinic at Walnut towers ambulatory clinic. This effort is one of the first in the Delaware Valley. The service being provided to any referring physician or patient is the one-stop access to any incidentally-detected pulmonary nodule on any imaging study (plain chest x-ray, CT chest or abdomen, etc). The clinic will be staffed and organized by a nurse coordinator and by pulmonary physicians with expertise to further evaluate such nodules. The management options for a nodule include observation with serial scans (to document stability), a biopsy by either bronchoscopy or percutaneous needle under CT, or surgical resection. Importantly, the clinic will provide the mechanism for seamless follow-up of patients requiring follow-up studies.
A premium will be placed on timely access and evaluation for patients, coordinated communication for referring physicians, and the involvement of any other services required in the Jefferson health system.
In order to access the expertise of the pulmonary nodule clinic, contact:
Nurse practitioner line: (215) 955-2584
Physician Director:
Michael Unger, MD & Boyd Hehn, MD
(215) 955-5161 (6591)
Division of Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine

Philadelphia, PA 19107
Solitary pulmonary nodule or a "spot on the lung" is a very common entity that raises concern amongst clinicians and fear in the lay public. There are many causes for pulmonary nodules, but a third of these maybe lung cancers. Interestingly, no specific medical specialty has provided leadership or a specific program to manage solitary pulmonary nodules. So there is a need for such a service here in Philadelphia and at TJU/H.
It is widely known that lung cancer is a dreaded disease and is causally linked to cigarette smoking, ever since the surgeon general's report in the 1960s. Lung cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer death worldwide and this may be due to the fact that at the usual time of diagnosis the disease is advanced.
A solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) or coin lesion is a mass in the lung smaller than 3 centimeters in diameter. It can be an incidental finding found on a chest X-ray or CT scan. The nodule may represent a benign process such as a granuloma or hamartoma, but in around 20-40% of cases it represents a malignant cancer, especially in older adults and smokers. Conversely, 10 to 20% of patients with lung cancer are diagnosed in this way. Thus, the possibility of cancer needs to be excluded through further radiological studies and interventions, possibly including surgical resection. The prognosis depends on the underlying condition.
Technology is advancing and the notion of early detection and "screening" for lung cancer has historically been challenging and controversial. However, recent studies and use of "low dose chest CT scan" appears to suggest that screening can improve survival from early detection of lung cancer, by as much as 20%. In addition, other emerging technologies including biomarkers, non-surgical approaches to biopsy, and novel therapies involving radiotherapy is giving hope to patients.

**Taz has a bite history**
After quite some time in foster care and a lot of hard work with his trainer, Taz has made it to the available page! This handsome 3-year-old boy has been a handful, but seeing him really blossom with the help of a strong pack leader has convinced us Taz is ready to find his perfect forever family.
Ideally the person would live alone or else every household resident must have the same level of commitment.
Taz is a good looking, smart and funny companion for the right person. He behaves wonderfully when he is with his trainer.
Taz is a dominant dog. His trainer reports that he is a big dog in a little dog's body. He will need a very special family. They must be confident in their ability to give Taz a secure home and who will commit to keep working on his obedience training.
The perfect home for Taz would be one in which he was an only dog. He will take advantage of smaller dogs and can be a bit of a bully. A larger dog who is not intimidated or easily pushed around might be a possibility as well.
Critters and cats are a "definitely not!" for Taz. He's not great with other critters.
Because of Taz's bite history, he won't go to a family with children or where children are frequent visitors.
Taz loves and needs lots of exercise! A fenced-in yard where Taz can run around would be great, or if you like to go on long walks, then Taz will be your constant companion! Taz is not your Frenchie couch-potato. He needs to stay busy physically and mentally!
Taz is house trained, but he does have crate aggression. We have learned that Taz is very food motivated, so crate-training with food may help with his crate aggression if you must crate him. He gets scared of the crate and lashes out when the door shuts.
If you work from home, you'd be perfect for Taz! He can't go to the office with you, but he'd love if someone was home with him all day to continue working on his behaviors.
Taz loves to go for rides in the truck and play-ball! If you are considering adopting Taz, his trainer has a special message for you:
"Tas has tons of personality and is strong minded, but will do anything for someone savvy. Anyone who adopts him must be a strong-minded individual. With the right person who can set rules, he is a fun loving dog. I will work with and any potential adopters to help him succeed."
Up for the satisfaction of helping a dog succeed? Do you live in the area? Consider visiting with Taz in NJ and learning more about living with and training a dog who needs guidance--the training and support are life-long and free to qualified, committed adopters.
Taz's Videos:
For more spa days for Taz in the new year! -Caitlin K.
Taz, you're a handsome boy. Be good for your foster momma! - Annie T.
Here's a little something for Taz. Hopefully this can get him a new blanket!! ;) Emily Mizenko

For Taz in VA. Hope this small amount will help get you something you need! Christine Heflin

Truck Accident Attorneys
In 2007 over 400 people in Texas lost their lives after having an accident with a large truck. The number of semi truck accidents has risen every year since 2003 and in Texas alone over 18,000 18 wheeler accidents occur each year. This means that on average large trucks are involved in 49 accidents a day and that at least one accident a day will end a life. In most cases, the injured party is an occupant of the smaller car or truck involved in the crash. If you have been involved in an accident with a large truck, only an experienced Houston, Texas truck accident attorney can help you prove negligence and win your case.
The Trouble with Trucking
Trucking can be a stressful occupation. In order to meet consumer needs, truckers are encouraged to get loads from point A to point B as quickly as possible. The more trips a trucker makes, the more money he earns. Companies encourage this, leaving the driver with two options- make the tight deadline or lose pay.
This situation is not safe for anyone on the roadway. Strenuous work loads can cause truckers to make the following mistakes.
- Driving drowsy
- Excessive speeding
- Driving too fast for the conditions
- Aggressive driving
- Improper Maintenance
- Improperly Secured Load/Spilled Loads
These are some of the most common causes of trucking accidents. As commercial trucks far outweigh all other vehicles on the road, they are more likely than passenger cars to be involved in accidents that cause serious injury and death.
Have you been involved in a Texas truck accident?
If you have, you need a truck accident lawyer with the serious experience needed to win your serious injury case. Trucking accidents can leave the injured with years of rehabilitation and costly surgeries. At Schechter, McElwee, Shaffer & Harris, L.L.P.we have over 100 years of combined experience dealing with serious accidents.
We are standing by, ready to help you- no matter when you need us. With 24 hour a day service you can count on us to help you on your road to recovery. We are happy only when you have been given the restitution you deserve. Contact a Texas truck accident attorney at SMSH today.
In order to better serve the diverse population of the US we offer services in Spanish (Espanol) and Vietnamese (tính t?).
Though driving on any road can be dangerous, the following Texas highways and interstates are heavily populated with commercial trucks: I 610 (The Loop, Loop 610), I 10, I 45, Highway 225, Highway 59, Highway 290, Highway 90, Highway 288, Sam Houston Parkway, Hardy Toll Road

"So Why Did U Really Hit Me?"

Posted to: Legal Writes
While on duty and in full uniform, Officer Juan Monzon showed up at his girlfriend's house. They got into a fight over child support payments, and he allegedly unholstered his service handgun and pointed it at her.
"There are a lot of unsolved homicides in New Haven. I would shoot you with this gun, but they count the bullets," Monzon (pictured) told her, according to an arrest warrant affidavit on file in Superior Court.
Monzon, a 14-year veteran of the New Haven police department, turned himself in at police headquarters Tuesday and was arrested on charges of risk of injury to a minor, assault in the third degree and threatening in the first degree. He has surrendered his gun and has been placed on administrative duty, according to police spokesman Officer Dave Hartman.
He made an appearance in Superior Court Wednesday. His case was continued.
Contacted after he appeared in court Wednesday morning, Monzon told the Independent, "I'm pleading not guilty. I'm going to leave it to the court to decide who's guilty and who's not. I know I'm not guilty." He said he plans to hire a lawyer. He said he wants to withhold further comment for now.
The department has placed him on administrative duty pending the outcome of his case.
The arrest warrant affidavit, written by Detective Wilfredo Cruz, details the investigation that led up to the arrest. Here's what happened, according to Cruz:
On Friday, a woman called the Internal Affairs department and said she wanted to file an assault complaint against Officer Monzon. She told Cruz that Monzon, who's married to another woman, is the father of her 2-year-old daughter. They met and exchanged numbers on Sept. 17, 2008, when he responded to her apartment on a burglary complaint.
The girlfriend provided a taped statement recounting allegations of abuse at Monzon's hands. She told police that on the evening of Wednesday, Jan. 23, she confronted Monzon about paying child support for their daughter. She threatened to tell his wife about their relationship. Monzon allegedly pulled his gun and issued his threat. He told he that he has four to five guns at home that are registered to him. The woman "stated that she assumed Officer Monzon implied that he would shoot her with one of his other personal guns," Cruz writes.
Later on Wednesday, at 11 p.m., Monzon returned to the apartment and the couple fell into arguing again. It got physical. Cruz writes: "[The woman] showed me a bruise mark to her right forearm where Officer Monzon pinned her down on the bed with his knees. He also struck [the woman] on her chest with a closed fist while she was holding their crying daughter. [The woman] said the argument was over child support money, his not being a part of their daughter's life, his lying to her and him not taking care of the paternity acknowledgement application."
The woman told Cruz that Monzon hit her in the eye during an argument in 2010, causing swelling. She "talked about an incident on October 26, 2012, in which she and Office Monzon argued at her residence over child support and his seeing other women. [The woman] informed him that she was going to confront his wife and tell her all about their relationship. During the argument, Officer Monzon picked [the woman] up and body-slammed her onto the couch in the living room."
The woman told Cruz that she and Monzon had had about 10 "physical confrontations" at her apartment since August 2010, about half of which occurred while he was on duty.
The woman showed Cruz text messages she had saved on her cell phone. In a message from Nov. 20, 2012, the woman wrote "So why did u really hit me?" Officer Monzon replied, "Because you didn't let me leave."
Contacted by Cruz, Monzon declined to give a statement, according to the affidavit.

Another day of "WOW" !
With me being a former Alderman in the Dixwell area, I have had MUCH contact with Officer Monzon. He has shown me and my constituents nothing but respect. Always was the one to provide information and keep me informed on things that were happening in the area.
Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, and there are always two sides to every story. We'll see how this plays out in court. WOW

hitting a woman, going to her house while on duty…repeatedly(that's what we call getting paid not to work), threatening with firearms,cheating on his wife, non-support of his child, and hitting -up on crime victims for dates….what we have here, even if 1/2 is true, is a bad cop.

Not surprise about the philandering but disappointed about th domestic violence if the allegations are true.

And here I thought you'd stick to your own policy, NHI. That lasted 1 day.
[Editor's note: We withhold the names of people accused of a crime unless we get their side, or they're public figures, or if there's a pressing public need to know the name. Often there are grey area calls. This was one of them.]
I hardly think confronting the Officer at court is "getting their side".
Officers serve the public. That doesn't make them public figures.
Whoever commits a crime should have their day in court. If found guilty, they should be punished.
If he's found not guilty, who from the NHI is going to be there to apologize? At that point, who'd care? How would you possibly undo the damage you'd done. Again, 'if'.
[Editor: We didn't "confront the officer at court." I personally had two conversations with him outside of court. I agree with you—we make mistakes with our policy, and it's a grey area. In this case I wanted to wait until we were comfortable that we had the officer's side and that he agreed to be quoted.]
posted by: NHPDHartman on January 31, 2013 12:47pm
My apologies to the NHI. I've been told Officer Monzon and Paul spoke face to face on Wednesday. I misinterpreted the Officer's quick quotes in the article declaring his innocence as a failure to include his side. Bad assumption on my part.
Still, I submit an unfortunately large number of press releases regarding similar accusations of civilians. Names in? Never. Even in cases where the evidence is overwhelming and the perpetrator's criminal history alone would be worth a mention.
I'm uneasy on the NHI 'public figure' issue. The city employs over 4,000 people. We've elected 35. Does that make them all public figures? Would this story exist if the accused was a board of education administrative assistant, a parks department arborist, a DPW plow truck operator or an assistant librarian? I can go back several months and come up with a few who'd been charged and not named. Why should a person's employment determine the likelihood he or she would be criminally outed before they've had their day in court. We don't vote the employees into work.
In the several conversations I've had with Paul and his band of talented NHI writers, the idea is, in part, that if the accused is found not guilty, a future employer's background check wouldn't turn up a muddied history - at least not with NHI mud.
I may not agree, but I understand.
Now, there are two possible outcomes in this case for Officer Monzon. Guilty - punished. Not guilty - punished.

I planted a Miss Kim Lilac FOUR years ago. it was 1 foot tall when I bought it and it is STILL 1 foot tall. This year I dug up the soil around it and added mulch and leaves to try to help the roots. I also pounded a Miracle grow tree spike near it. Nothing, it did not grow. It blooms every spring but....Do they grow VERY SLOW?? Is there something else I could do?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It is planted on the east side of the house gets about 5 hours of morning sun. Is planted in red clay. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm kind of surprised it has lived, bloomed, and looked healthy for 4 years, growing might be too much to ask in this climate! LOL I haven't grown lilac, neither garden center I managed would sell them, and we never put them in designs unless a customer demanded it and then we warned that even the "heat tolerant" varieties don't usually do well here. They like neutral to alkaline soil, well drained soil. |
My neighbor has a lilac that is as tall as her house. It is not a Miss Kim. I think she said it is English Lilac. She does nothing with her plants except plant them no food no water and still they grow.. Her lilac is located near her foundation on the east side, and is shaded most of the time because of her other big trees. Ahhh I just have a gray thumb verses this lilac. I have a Persian Lilac that is 10 ft tall but it does not have the lovely lilac scent. The alkaline soil might be it. There is a HUGE Oak that drops it's leaves all around the area where the Miss Kim is growing. The tree and it's roots are not near the Miss Kim but in Fall the leaves get on it. Someone told me that Oak Leaves are acid. Oh NO, plus I put pine straw on it for mulch last year. I get it for free from one of my neighbors. Pine Straw is acid too, I think. I will change the mulch and try putting some bone meal on it. Bone meal helps to remove/reduce acid right?? I recently learned how to root plants from clippings and have been successful with Gardenia and Confederate Rose. So I might get a clipping of my neighbors Lilac and try that. I have to have a scented Lilac in my yard. My Mother is deceased, she LOVED lilac. The lilac reminds me of her. |
Lime will raise your soil PH. From what I know of bone meal, while it is alkaline, it takes an extreme amount to change the PH. I would recommend taking a soil sample near the drip line (and out) of the plant and sending to Auburn for analysis. That will tell you how much lime you need to add and how often. Bear in mind it takes time for the lime to do its thing in the soil, so don't expect immediate results. The finer the lime is ground, and if you are able to mix it in the soil, the faster it will change the ph, but that still takes months. We do have naturally acidic soil with oaks and pines, but fertilizers also add to the acidity of the soil, as can other things. By checking your PH you'll know what you are dealing with. Here is a link you can copy and paste which explains how all that works if you are interested: http://hubcap.clemson.edu/~blpprt/acidity2_review.html Lilacs like 6.0 - 7.0 PH and they don't like wet feet, but if it wasn't draining well, it probably wouldn't still be there :-)! What part of Alabama are you in? Below is the link to get a soil sample kit to mail some soil to Auburn. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Auburn soil lab
I live North of Huntsville, New Market. Thank YOU for the info and links I will send a sample to Alburn and see what's up. It is beginning to bloom. |

As a keen student of the Blair memoirs, David Cameron must be tempted right now to reach for a Lord Hutton-style figure to oversee an inquiry into phone hacking.
However, unlike the David Kelly case, there is the possibility of outstanding criminal proceedings and he is determined to say that the police investigation must be allowed to run its course.
In a Downing Street lobby briefing just now, the PM's spokeswoman said that the Government will be supporting the Chris Bryant motion today.
That in itself is meaningless, as the motion only says the House should 'consider' the case for an inquiry. It does not actually call for an inquiry. All No.10 are doing, so far, is saying it's right this should be debated.
But I get the strong feeling that the PM is going to announce that once the police have done their business, a full inquiry can begin. Maybe he will announce it in PMQs to spike the guns of Ed Miliband, with the Attorney General following up in the formal response to the debate later.
The actual details of the inquiry - should it be 'judicial' or just a 'public' inquiry or a hybrid version like Hutton's and Chilcot's? - will be interesting. There must be a ready-made judge who can oversee all of this and his name will become synonymous with the whole topic.
Downing Street have been in extensive discussions about just this and the cops will have to have been consulted. The Met has perhaps just as much to lose as the politicians given the way it handled this whole affair.
Either way, any form of inquiry could be seen as a real victory for Miliband, Watson and Bryant.
There's one other nugget from No.10: it looks like the PM has wisely decided not to dump on Andy Coulson.
His spokeswoman said that Mr Cameron 'stands by' his remarks in January that he was "extremely proud" of the work of his former comms director.
That will be a relief to Coulson, who I understand is feeling that his role is being used by NI to deflect attention from its other bigger troubles on Milly, Soham and now 7/7.
As an aside, I also note that Yvette Cooper will be leading for the Opposition in the debate today, despite the fact that the Government have decided to replace the Home Secretary with the Attorney General for its response. Big moment for Cooper.
UPDATE: Well, looks like I was right. Cameron did indeed use PMQs to announce he would set up an "inquiry or inquiries" into the various aspects of this.
No.10 sources say it's "not necessarily" the case that a judge will chair the inquiry.
When asked if the PM had quizzed Andy Coulson about the hacking issue on his appointment, sources added: "He sought and he got those assurances."

Sorry if this has been discussed already but I could not find anything specific on it.
I field strip my gun after each range use and clean it and spray on some Remoil. There is small crevices and nooks and crannies inside the frame. What I was wondering is how does one go about getting the frame clean without dis assembling it? Is there some kind of spray I can use? If spray is used does it need to be blown out with air? How about spraying some Remoil inside the frame afterwards?

The Registry of Motor Vehicles has always been focused on drivers and driving-driver's safety, driver's licenses, driver's vehicles. This holiday season, there's a different type of drive on the Registry's agenda: the annual Salvation Army Toy Drive.
From now to December 14th, customers can drop off toys at any of the Registry's 35 branches statewide.
"We're proud to be part of this program," said Registrar of Motor Vehicles Dan Grabauskas. "Hopefully we can duplicate last year's astounding success, when the generosity of Registry customers helped brighten the holiday season for thousands of children."
More than 2,400 toys were collected at the Registry's 35 branches last year, the largest single donation in Massachusetts Salvation Army Toy Drive History. Donated toys should be new, non-violent and unwrapped. They are given to children who live in the area where the donation is made.

(Updates with closing share price in last paragraph.)
Dec. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Cablevision Systems Corp., the fifth-largest U.S. cable operator by subscribers, said it plans to offer its customers Time Warner Inc.'s HBO Go mobile-TV application.
The service will start in a few months, Cablevision said today in a statement. Customers will also have access to Cinemax's Max Go.
The agreement comes three days after Time Warner Cable Inc., the second-largest U.S. cable provider, agreed to offer the applications to its 12.2 million customers. HBO Go allows HBO subscribers to watch more than 1,400 old and current episodes of shows including "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Game of Thrones." Max Go offers another 400 titles.
Cablevision, based in Bethpage, New York, had been the final holdout to offer access to the mobile application of the nine largest pay-TV providers. HBO Go has been downloaded more than 5 million times and is available to HBO subscribers for free on personal computers, Apple Inc. iPhones, iPod touches and iPads, and select Google Inc. Android devices.
Cablevision rose 2 percent to $13 at the close in New York. The shares have declined 45 percent this year.

I followed the same salting procedure and soaked bread as my favorite tomato gazpacho (from cooks illustrated creamy andaluz gazpacho on this site if you don't have the magazine) and this came out great! I also added a green pepper and about a tbsp. of red wine vinegar (if I had white wine vinegar I would've used that instead). It needs that little extra depth. If I had a jalepeno, I would've added that too. This recipe is perfect for when the cukes are in but the tomatoes aren't yet. I 'vitamixed' it. It's chilling overnight - will have it for dinner tomorrow with grilled shrimp on the side and will add the extra 1/4 inch diced cucumbers, green peppers and herbs to the soup.
We had lots of cucumbers this season in our garden so I found myself looking for cucumber recipes. This soup was excellent, the ginger and hot sauce gave it a nice kick, I used green onions instead of scallions. I also used basil, parsley, chives and sage. I never like mint in anything except a tea cup! I will make this again and again.
This is a great recipe for a hot summer evening. It's light and refreshing, the only thing it needed in my opinion was some acid so I added some fresh squeezed lime juice and that did the trick.
I thought this might be a smash for my whole family - I love melon/cucumber soups and fresh herbs and my son is a shrimp lover, my husband likes everything. Sadly, flavorwise it was all the sad side of compromise, no one loved it. I liked it, didn't love it, and the men in the family found it too fruity and too "girly".
Good and refreshing. I tried it with garlic and without, and prefer it with garlic. I prefer without the shrimp though.
This is absolutely amazing. It is so delicious, so full of different flavors and textures. It is a little labor intensive with the chopping, but completely worth it. And it's healthy, too! This is one of my all time favorite recipes, yum, yum, yum. (The garlic can be overpowering, and I am a garlic lover. It tastes good without it, but I would maybe saute it a little before adding if you choose to include it.)
What makes this seasonal? Unless you live in Mexico, Florida, or California, there are no "seasonal" locally grown cucumbers, watermelons, or cantaloupes until June or July. Lots of useful SEASONAL inspiration can be given using asparagus, peas, radishes, scallions, strawberries, ramps, and rhubarb. The things that are abundant and local for for 4/5ths of the US & Canada.
This soup was delicious. I used basil, chives and mint. I put in the garlic even though others advised not to and it was great - maybe the mint helped offset the garlic taste. I used red watermelon and omitted shrimp because I didn't have any. I will definitely make it again.
2.5 forks. This was o.k. but there were some really funky flavors going on. I definitely recommend omitting the garlic. It adds a strange pungency that just doesn't meld well. Something also created a salty taste that was unappealing, yet I seasoned very lightly, definitely less than 3/4 teaspoon. The herbs and melon certainly saved this dish.

When it comes to using essential oils in a burner or for massaging, the carrier oil makes hardly any difference at all. If you are using them in order to combat acne though, you need to be a little more circumspect.
What I have done is compiled a list of the most popular base oils to help you to decide which are right for you. You can mix these any two of these oils or use them on their own – the choice is yours.
Sweet Almond Oil – This oil is extensively used in the beauty industry. There is a good chance that, if you have had a massage, this is what they used. It is a good all round oil – nourishing but not too heavy. Good for all skin types.
Grapeseed Oil – Many brands of beauty products include this as a way of providing nourishment without increasing the grease too much. This oil is noncomedogenic and works best for greasy skins.
Avocado Oil – this is not used as much because it is really best suited to really dry skins and it can go rancid quickly. It is not suitable for daily use – it is too rich.
Olive Oil – this has been used since ancient times to keep skin soft and supple. It can block pores so is not a popular option in facial products. Use extra virgin oil to reduce the odor. Best for use on arms or body.
Apricot Kernel oil – this is not as common but is pretty nice if you can get it. It has a large proportion of Vitamin E in it and it is ultra-nourishing. A good alternative to grapeseed oil if you want something light and nourishing. Visit this page entitled "does proactive work" to know different treatments for acne.
Calendual Oil -this does tend to be on the more expensive side but it is a great investment to make, especially if you have acne. It helps the skin to balance itself and to heal and will reduce the appearance of scars and prevent new ones forming.
Sunflower Oil – I have included this here although it is not really one that you should look at if you have acne. It can work once in a while if you have no other oil to use but should not generally be used for skin care – it is not refined enough and is not noncomedogenic.
Pretty much the only way you will be able to tell which option is right for you is to try them out. Always get the best quality option you can afford and discard if it changes smell or color. Oils can go off over time.

Hi everybody!
My readers Lanie Kruszewski, Jenny, Irene, and Fiona have started making fermented squid! I wanted to share their photos and stories with you guys. Fermenting takes 1 month, so they'll send me the photos of their seasoned ojingeojeot 1 month later and I'll update this post with the results!
What I love about these stories is that Lanie's is so funny (she's afraid of the dish), and Jenny's is so serious (her whole family is depending on her). If anyone else has started making fermented squid, please send me a photo with your own story and I'll include it here. It'll be fun to see everybody's 2 photos: salted plus one seasoned one, plus an interesting story!
Lanie Kruszewski's ojingeojeot
She says:
First, I want to take a little time to say that the fermented squid side dish recipe scares me to death! Fermenting raw squid is something that goes against everything in my (very American) culinary education.
On the other hand, I'm thinking, stir-fried, whole anchovies scared me to death, too, until I tried them. Fish sauce scared me the first time I bought it (and smelled it), and now I put it in everything! So, in an exercise of my trust for Maangchi and her recipes, I got some squid today, salted it, and am beginning to ferment it to make jeotgal!
Here they are, about to be stored. See you in a month little squiddies!
Jenny's ojingeojeot
She says:
My 2 kg fermented squids. Will bring it back to Indonesia, North Sumatra during December school holiday. All my family now are waiting for this squids. They all also Korean food's fans. Usually they'll ask me to cook Korean food for them. I remember last year we had Samgyeopsal gui with lots of perilla leaves, bibimbap, gajinamul, kimchi, oisobagi, kimchi stew. I forgot to take photos,we all busy grabbing the foods hahaha. This year they already give me the Korean menu list ( of course recipes from you blog ). I must cook when I'm back.
Thx Maangchi sharing ur recipes with us, so my family in Indonesia also can enjoy Korean food.
C u next month ^ _ ^"
Irene Loi's ojingeojeot
She says:
I have been waiting for this video ever since I saw u eat them on your other video previously!.. Got so excited when I saw your fermented squid recipe and went out immediately to buy fresh squid after watching your video!
Fiona Lim's ojingeojeot
She says:
I salted the squids on November 9th. Yes, I will be sending you another photo when my ojingeojeot is seasoned. Looking forward to it and is sure going to be fun!
My readers are sharing their 1 month fermented squid project with you. Check it out.

agglomeration |
Agglomerations / metropolitan areas (A) include a central city and neighboring towns (suburbs) forming a connected region of dense, predominately urban population. Their population is economically and culturally linked to the central city (e.g. by commuters). Some agglomerations have more than one central city (e.g. "The Ruhr"). Mostly, the components of an agglomeration are small administrative divisions like communes. Neighboring agglomerations may form one agglomeration complex (AC). |
area |
Area (A) is the total surface of a country, of its administrative divisions or of cities. It includes land and (non-tidal) inland water area. Land area (A-L) excludes inland water area. |
city |
Each country has its own definition what the term city (C) means. Mostly it refers to the smallest administrative unit of a country having a predominately urban population. Small cities are often called towns, villages or settlements. |
municipio |
A municipio (M) is the smallest administrative unit of many countries in Latin America. It typically covers a relatively large area and has a high portion of rural population. Therefore, the urban population of a municipio (C, MU) is mostly given as its city population. |
population (census/estimate/projection) |
Census population (C) is determined by a census typically performed every 5 or 10 years. The first results of census are often provisional (Cp); they may be higher or lesser than the final results (Cf). Census results mostly show some underenumeration that may be adjusted by estimates (Ca). Estimates (E) are based on calculations using the current birth and death rates and the estimated migration or they are based on population registers. Estimates refer to a given time in the past. Projections (P) are calculations referring to the future; their accuracy is often poor. |
population (de jure/de facto) |
The de facto population (f) is the population actually present at a given time including temporary residents and excluding residents temporarily absent. The de jure population (j) is the legally resident population including residents temporarily absent and excluding temporary residents. |
urban area |
Urban areas (UA) are densely populated urban regions typically linked by continuous built-up areas. They may cover parts of one or of more cities/communes; their borders do not coincide with the boundaries of adminitrative units. Therefore, urban areas have more or less inhabitants than the central city. Urban population is largely non-agriculturally oriented. Each country has its own definition of urban and rural. |

It might appear to be a bad April Fool's joke but it was no laughing matter for 30,000 applicants to the University of California San Diego.
Campus officials e-mailed acceptance letters to the students who should have received rejection letters.
The e-mail invited students to an orientation and started by saying "we're thrilled that you've been admitted."
The university caught the mistake within two hours and sent out another e-mail apologizing for the "level of distress" they had caused.
Cornell University and the University of North Carolina have reported similar mix-ups in the past.

The Bayonetta Special Edition pack, revealed yesterday, is likely to serve as a pre-order incentive in UK, Sega has told CVG.
Even better news is that it'll probably cost the same as the standard edition of the game, although it seems like Sega is yet to completely nail down its plans.
Watch tons of other great game videos in HD over on our video channel!
A Sega rep told us: "It may be used as a pre-order incentive in certain retailers, but we can't confirm who with yet. It's unlikely that it'll cost any more than the standard edition, though."
The flashier version of the game comes in a fatter, shinier slip-in box containing an art book and the game's soundtrack next to the game disc. First pics are here.

Hey Seventeen readers!
Did you know that Thursday, October 11th was the first-ever United Nations' International Day of the Girl? Yes that's right an entire day dedicated to celebrate being a girl! How cool is that?! Well to kick the celebration off a little early, I headed to the 10X10 global action campaign for girls' education launch event in New York City on Wednesday night. And let me tell you, the evening was nothing short of pretty amazing! I met inspiring women from all around the globe who have overcome many obstacles to realize their dreams. It didn't matter if you were from Africa, Asia, North America, or anywhere else in the entire world — we could all agree on the fact that when a girl is educated, she can change the world!
I was extremely honored to be interviewed by CNN's Christiane Amanpour and share how I created my own nonprofit, The SEGway Project, to empower girls in the developing world through soccer. Each one of the special guest speakers' incredible stories of perseverance and strength blew me away, but I found myself most in awe of Shabana Basij-Rashik's story. Growing up in Afghanistan when girls' education was banned under Taliban rule, Shabana had to dress as a boy and risk her life everyday for six years just to achieve her dream of getting an education — nothing was going to stop her. Now, Shabana has built the first girls' boarding school back in her village in Afghanistan, and guess what — she's only 22 years old! I believe Shabana's story shows us it doesn't matter how young you are or how big the odds are stacked against you, NOTHING can get in the way of reaching your dreams!
Check out the 10X10 Girl Rising movie trailer and see how you can join the campaign to help educate girls around the globe!

Cause in my mind, you mothafuckas sold soap
from Pusha T (Ft. Rick Ross) – Hold On Lyrics on Genius
Double entendre:
- Drug reference: These "fakes" never sold dope, they're selling "soap", an essentially watered down version of the real thing.
- Music reference: He's not hearing any dope, real, street music like rawness that is hip hop, which this album embodies.
This also could be a shot at some rappers who try to act like they're from the streets but really not. For example, Drake starred in a soap.

Looking for a replacement for my Picea pungens 'Glauca Globosa'. It's an eye sore to me & I'm unsure if it can be saved. It goes up maybe 3" off the ground then back at a 1:00 angle with very few branches. It's dark now and I will try to get a picture later tonight. Meanwhile I've narrowed it down to two I think.
Picea Pungens 'St. Mary's Broom'
The spot is around 5' x 5' In front you will find Pinus mugo 'Sherwood Compact', to the left you will find Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Lemon Twist', to the right nothing, behind is my house. I'm looking for something that will rise above 'Sherwood Compact'. I'm not sure the size of 'St. Mary's Broom', some say 1" per year others say 3". For those that have both, which is the bluest? |

I don't think 'St. Mary's Broom' would rise above the 'Sherwood Compact'. Likely pretty similar. Pinus mugo 'Sherwood Compact' in an Iowa garden. Age unknown. My 12 year old 'St. Mary' Broom' tj |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 6:49
i would say st marys is about 2 inches per year.. you can see it in junkies pic ... girards dwarf about 3 .. and the other one about 3.5 .. oh thuem [sp???] ... montgomery is pretty common for your collection ... look forward to the pic. . ken |
- Posted by severnside UKsouthwest9 (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 7:11
I'd go for another 'Globosa'. |
- Posted by ricksample 6 (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 7:28
Thanks for the pics tj, It doesn't have to rise much taller than Sherwood Compact. I just don't want to put a smaller plant behind a larger one. My 'Sherwood Compact' is about 4 years old (I've had it for almost 2 years) and is only around 4" x 7" across. I've read that this plant should grow to be around 1.5' x 1.5' in 10 years. Ken- I was hoping more for 'St. Mary's Broom' since it's not as common as montgomery. But if it doesn't grow at least 2-3" it wouldn't get taller than the conifer in front. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Dans

Severnside - I would, but would hate to replace it with the same conifer especially since I already have 2 of these not including the one being replaced. 'Globosa' is a great conifer for me (which is why I have more than one), I like that it holds it's blue color very well and looks great all year next to yellows & reds. If the 'Globosa' in this spot could be trained, I may leave it. But if I could find a suitable replacement it'll be nice to have something a little different. |
If you want to spend a few extra bucks and SMB is too small, splurge and get the superior selection that has a slightly faster growth rate, SJB. 'St. Joseph's Broom' is offered in a 2 gallon container at Conifer Kingdom and is primo. Otherwise you can go value (but you may need to buy a min.) and get a 2 gallon Globosa for $25 or so from Western Evergreen. |

Wow whaas I would love to have that for this spot! With the baby on the way in 6 weeks, the wife would kill me if I spent $80 on a single conifer lol. I'm splurging just for one conifer to plant this fall along with all the ones I have sitting around here from spring. Well here is the conifer in question. Planted Fall 2011. When it arived it was very sick looking. The needles were a yellowish green color. This year the yellow went away and the older needles turned green. Then the new growth pushed blue. It only grew about a half inch or so. You can't bend the wood any to bring it back up. I really need this to sit low to the ground so it won't require any plants in front. By the looks of it, if it does come around, it will have that high water look. Might be better off to just spend $30 on either 'St. Mary's Broom', 'Montgomery', another 'Globosa' or something else like these as long as it's available and grows 3" a year. |

If your 'Sherwood Compact' is that small any of the pungens will work as they should be 8-12 inches tall from the get-go even with a small one. BTW my SMB grows about 1.5-2 inches a year. Ballpark size now is 18" high and 36" wide. tj |

- Posted by ricksample 6 (My Page) on Thu, Sep 13, 12 at 12:07
Thanks everyone, I think I'll give Picea pungens 'St. Mary's Broom' a shot. It's a little slower growing, but as TJ said above the SMB looks to be at least around 10" tall. The conifer in front is only around 4" tall. If they grow the same rate, the SMB should always be a little taller. If not I could do a little pruning or move the plant in front if it gets to large. |

This is what I've been told about SJB... Plant found by nursery manager, Richard Haslebacher. St. Joseph's Broom is globose with short needles and nodes. It's habit is mounding compared to SMB which is a bit more brittle and prostrate. Eitherway I think both plants are nice. The SMB's that TJ has are absolutley primo. The picture doesn't do the plant justice. |
- Posted by severnside UKsouthwest9 (My Page) on Thu, Sep 13, 12 at 13:40
I think the SMB is a good choice. From the two pics that TJ posted they compliment each other very well in branch size. A good pairing. The SMB's blue is very good. If as you say one just stays ahead of the other that's better than a longer branched form doing more than just tight globe expansion. |
I like 'Blue Pearl' my self. Stays real small for a long time. Let me know if you want a pic. |
- Posted by ricksample 6 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 17, 12 at 20:39
Picea pungens 'Blue Pearl' is one of my favorites, I was lucky enough to snatch up a small one this past spring. Just a small one about 3" round, but I love the blue color of it. Do you have a larger one? The largest I've seen is the one I have lol. My SMB should be in around Wednesday I think... can't wait to see what it since this will be my only fall conifer purchase. |
My Picea pungens 'Blue Pearl' last summer. About 30" across. |

Below is a map of Gaza City which is a three by three mile favela (slum) of packed in buildings. There are narrow alleys and irregular makeshift buildings, making any military operation a sheer nightmare. This is a classic urban warfare environment, making "pin point" operations problematic. There are tunnels and bunkers throughout the armed to the teeth Gaza Strip. There are 450,000 people crammed into Gaza City and 1,650,000 in the Gaza Strip. Thousands have already fled Gaza City. An Israeli incursion would no doubt put in play a refugee flow into the Egypt Sinai.
Al Jazeera reports that Israel is giving negotiations for a cease fire until Tuesday. The logical time for an Israeli assault would be about 8:00 PM (Israel time zone; 1:00 PM EST) on Tuesday to take advantage of its night vision edge. Israel would move in during a half moon, but if fighting continues beyond a few nights, Israel will be facing bright three-quarter to full moon conditions that reduces their night fighting advantage.
You can track the Al Qassam Brigades (estimated at 15-20,000) on Tweeter as they typically post notices of a flurry of rocket attacks usually under cover of night. Activity as I write 11:00 PM Israel time Monday is very active.
18:28 Al Qassam Brigades shelling Al Majdal with 2 Grad missiles.
20:35 Al Qassam Brigades shelling Holite with 5 projectiles
21:55 Al Qassam Brigades shelling Beer Sheva with 5 Grad
Most military experts say the Al Qassam units have been well equipped with powerful anti-tank weapons. They have been trained and advised by Iranian and Syrian military advisers. Munitions are stockpiled through Gaza. If they hold, there is an outside chances we could witness last standers fighting. Read this about the Gaza Strip as an armed camp, will blow your mind.
Excerpts: The IDF now considers any offensive foray into Hamas territory to become high intensive combat (HIC) warfighting.
Any military incursion into the Gaza Strip presents an extremely complicated operation.
An upgraded Hamas – under the leadership of military wing commander Ahmed Ja'abri – has succeeded in establishing a 10,000-strong army with a new arsenal of weapons, including hundreds of Qassam rockets, mortars, anti-tank weapons and tons of military grade explosives- all smuggled into the Gaza Strip through a vast tunneling network along the Egyptian border.
Very large quantities of Katyusha rockets and anti-tank missiles are pouring unhindered into the Gaza Strip together with hundreds of RPG-29 rocket-propelled grenades and Grad rockets.
Nor are manpower reserves lacking in Gaza. In theory there are over 300,000 males available within military age groups in the Gaza Strip alone.
The Iranian aid, the porous Egyptian border and the internal ability to build infrastructure unhindered has led Hamas to go within one year "from zero to seven, on a scale of 10," in the estimation of the Southern Command intelligence officers.

TU Film Department Hosts Annual Camps for Screen and Film
A group of 14 high school students from around the country are exploring the world of screenwriting and filmmaking at summer camps offered by The University of Tulsa. Hosted by the TU Department of Film Studies and the Creative Writing program, the camps are divided into two weeks of hands-on workshops designed to teach interested students more about the art and craft of the film industry. Special events also include an appearance by S.E. Hinton, author of the 1967 novel The Outsiders. Those attending the screenwriting camp work closely with TU Creative Writing Program Director Michael Wright. After a week of intensive study and recreational group activities, camp participants write their own short screenplay for a public reading. "Each camp is approximately 7 to 8 hours of instruction per day plus film viewing at night," Wright said. "We are essentially presenting them with about a semester's worth of work at a university level in a week's time." Students in the filmmaking camp create their own films and view a final screening of the productions under guidance from filmmaker and multimedia director Erin McHenry. Camp attendees also learn more about the post-production equipment used in today's industry and receive additional mentoring from a TU film major assistant. The Film Studies Department has offered the camps for nearly 10 years after TU developed a film program in the late 1990s. Wright said he and his peers enjoy working with the high school students and introducing them to the university. "The camps are a great opportunity for students to learn about our campus while helping TU reinforce its mission of service," he said. "The students bond quickly and interact at a very high level where they can experience the joys and trials of creative work." This year's class includes students from Missouri, Kansas, Indiana, Texas and Oklahoma. The screenwriting session ended July 14, while the filmmaking camp runs until July 21. About the instructors Michael Wright is a recipient of the Milan Stitt Award for Outstanding Contribution to American Theatre from the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and is the founder of Fictional Characters, a writers' collective supported by grants from the Tulsa Arts & Humanities Council. He is director of the Interdisciplinary Program in Creative Writing at TU and teaches playwriting, screenwriting along with courses in writing for performance media such as animation, gaming, podcasting and radio.
