Jung's had those too and calls them "the #1 choice for long-term tulip plantings". Looks like Wal-Mart has a better price though. I will check ours to see if there's any left. I haven't tried to plant tulips for a long time because I had trouble with them getting eaten. I don't know if it's squirrels or voles or what but something finds them. Do you do anything to your tulips to protect them? |

Christie, I actually got your post thru my e-mail. yeah!!! maybe my e-mail is getting set up right, I have"nt had any bulbs eaten. I use to have a dog that kept the critter population down without tearing my garden up but i lost him. My new dog probably has tea parties for them. I lost a complete bed of oriental lilly bulbs and since i"ve scattered egyptian onions here and there thru all my beds.Do'nt think i've lost anything else. Sometimes the onions look out of place but i make a half hearted attempt to blend them in somehow. I read somewhere that onion and garlic bulbs would discourage most bulb eaters. vickie |

Sorry to hear you lost your dog. Even if your new dog doesn't actually chase the critters, it probably helps a little just to have his scent around. My two Shelties keep our fenced backyard clear of critters but I garden outside their territory mostly, because they dig up my plants. I had to circle my shrubs with big rocks so they won't dig around them. I was getting ready to post a question about Egyptian Walking Onions so I'll just ask you Vickie....Are they perennial? |
Christie, Its been a couple years since i lost Bear. The egyptian onions don't bloom. In the late summer small bulblets form at the top of the plants and will grow other leaves from them. I pick off the bulblets that i want to start somewhere else and let the rest fall off to start a group and they will spread in that way ,thus walking onions.They are hardy here and we're in same zone. They are perennials. Do'nt give up on them . They'll probably make bulblets next year. If you are a dog lover check out the clipping i clipped out on a "tribute to Keebler" It's beautiful but have a tissue handy. vickie |

Ok Vickie - I'm going to leave my Egyptian Walking onions in the ground over winter. Fighting the urge to dig and store. I read 'Tribute to Keebler'. Dogs seem to get more and more personality as they age and it's extra hard to lose an old one that you've gotten so attached to. 'To God from the dog' that follows Keebler was fun to read. I don't usually look for clippings. Thanks for pointing those out. |

Just wondering if anyone can remind me about this. I've done it in the past, but apparently I'm having a senior moment!
Can I harvest the little blue berries now (they are round and plump) or do I have to wait till they shrivel like raisons? If it makes any difference, the leaves have already fallen from my creepers. Thanks in advance, Gardenfriends! |

You can harvest the seeds when the leaves have turned red according to the New England Wilflower Society guide to trees and shrubs. They have to be cold stratified. |

I harvested some this year and also plucked them when the berries were blue. Inside the blue berry, in a few, was a hard seed. Some of the berries had soft seeds that I could easily crush. I took these hard seeds and dropped them in water. Only a few sank, so those are what I saved to germinate. The fatter berries had the better seeds. |

A Pittsford man is under arrest after he was found sitting in his car in Manhattan with a loaded rifle, a machete and gasoline.
News10NBC is told he is accused of threatening to kill former President George W. Bush after professing a romantic interest in his oldest daughter, Barbara.
Secret Service agents arrested Benjamin Smith in Manhattan Friday. Officials say the 44-year-old screamed, "Bush will get his" as he was taken into custody.
Monroe County Sheriff's Deputies say they got a call from Smith's mother Thursday evening, saying a rifle was missing from her home and that she had found a threatening note.
This is not Smith's first brush with the law. As our I-Team previously reported, Smith was accused of an attack along the Erie Canal in Pittsford back in 2011 and was suspected of other assaults as well. He was arrested that same year for pushing his car into the Genesee River gorge.

In the evening, I tell him that the next day I'd go away and leave him there for a while. He gets upset and says "But I don't know the names of the kids!" ("Но я не знаю как деток зовут!"). I promise him that I'd stay with him for a while at first, and we'll ask everybody's name again, and then I'll leave.
When we arrive there on the second day, Koopa looks at the board hanging outside of the classroom that has pictures of all the kids glued onto little bears cut-out of paper (their class is called "bear-cubs"), notices that his picture is not there and demands an explanation. The teachers promise him that it will be there soon. I stay with him for a few minutes and then decide to leave. He's protesting but I know he's getting more comfortable there and interested in things, and also, I know that if I don't leave, it will take him much longer to start interacting with people there.
I pick him up after lunch, before nap time, and he seems OK. The teachers say he played with one girl when they went outside and even interacted with grown-ups a little bit. On our way home, Koopa inserts his correction to the teacher's report: "I didn't PLAY with her. She just threw some snow at me and I threw some snow back at her."
After that I started leaving him there for nap time and longer, for the whole day. He seems a little more comfortable there but its still difficult for him. I know it will take a while for him to fully adjust. Koopa takes time. Two biggest issues: (a) he still hasn't used that new toilet; (b) he doesn't talk there, at all.
That toilet fear has to be taken seriously now, somehow. It's doesn't seem like a kind of fear that you can wait till it passes on its own. I guess my secret hope was that by going to this new daycare he'd start using that unfamiliar toilet and that would help him get more comfortable with all other unfamiliar toilets out there in the world. That doesn't seem to be happening. I started putting pull ups on him and encouraging him to pee in the pull up because otherwise he just holds it in the entire day.
And the no talking... I don't know. This one bothers me much less. He interacts with kids, responds to teachers by nodding/shaking his head, and can even laugh when they tickle him or something like that. But no talking. Not a single word. I guess that's ok. Some kids do that.
I have to say I'm in love with his teachers at this new place. They took his fears seriously and asked me to provide all the information I can about them and about his earlier development, and said "We'll work on it together". God, seriously? Together? We don't have to do it alone?
It's still hard to get him there in the morning, and I imagine it will be hard for a while. I hate daycare mornings. In his old daycare, I selfishly avoided dropping him off in the morning, and Gleb was always the drop-off-er (dropper-off?), while I was on the pick-up duty (much more enjoyable). Otherwise I'd have to start my every work day with my eyes swollen from crying (they finally manage to unglue your screaming kid from you and you quickly run out maintaining a cheerful attitude, and then stand there by the classroom door listening to him cry and weeping yourself). That's still how it works. I hate those daycare goodbyes, but what do you do, they're part of your parenting contract.

Will Homeowners Insurance Cover Water Damage Repair and Carpet Cleaning?
When it comes to routine carpet cleaning, San Mateo homeowners typically call their local carpet cleaning company and pay the bill upon completion. However, what happens when the carpet must be cleaned as part of a water damage repair? Will your homeowners insurance cover it?
Homeowners insurance often pays for carpet cleaning that is required due to a covered loss such as a burst pipe in the home or a bathtub overflow. However, insurance is complicated and not all water damage is covered.
The first issue has to do with the nature of the flood event. Typical homeowners insurance policies cover water damage from unexpected or accidental overflows and burst water pipes, but they don't cover water damage from natural flooding or negligence. For example, if you do not have a separate National Flood Insurance policy and a river overflows its banks and floods your San Mateo home, then it's doubtful that your carpets will be covered by your standard insurance policy. While natural flooding is usually specifically excluded from coverage, water damage that results from a storm is often covered. For example, if high winds blow out your home's windows and driving rain then causes water damage, that damage would likely be covered.
Failure to perform routine maintenance is also an issue that can affect whether or not a water damage repair claim will be covered. For instance, if you have failed to maintain your home's pipes in a reasonable manner and they burst as a result of your ongoing neglect, the insurance company may deny your claim.
Another issue involves the amount of your deductible in relation to the total cost of the water damage repair. While water damage tends to be costly, if the total bill comes in under your deductible amount, then the insurance company won't be involved at all. For example, if you have a $500 deductible and the cost to repair a burst pipe and clean the carpet comes in at $300, you will be responsible for paying the repair and cleaning bills.

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 "Moreover, raise a lament for the leaders of Isra'el; | 1 "Take up a lament concerning the princes of Israel |
2 say: 'What a mother you had a lioness among lions! She lay down among young lions and reared her cubs. | 2 and say: " 'What a lioness was your mother among the lions! She lay down among the young lions and reared her cubs. |
3 One of her cubs she singled out: he became a young lion, he learned to seize his prey, he became a man-eater. | 3 She brought up one of her cubs, and he became a strong lion. He learned to tear the prey and he devoured men. |
4 The nations sounded an alarm against him; and he was caught in their pit. With hooks they dragged him off to the land of Egypt. | 4 The nations heard about him, and he was trapped in their pit. They led him with hooks to the land of Egypt. |
5 When she saw that she had been thwarted, that her hope was lost, she took another of her cubs and made a young lion of him. | 5 " 'When she saw her hope unfulfilled, her expectation gone, she took another of her cubs and made him a strong lion. |
6 He prowled among the lions, grew to be a young lion, learned to seize his prey and became a man-eater. | 6 He prowled among the lions, for he was now a strong lion. He learned to tear the prey and he devoured men. |
7 He raped their widows and destroyed their cities; the land and all in it were appalled at the sound of his roaring. | 7 He broke down their strongholds and devastated their towns. The land and all who were in it were terrified by his roaring. |
8 The nations set a snare for him from the provinces all around, they spread their net over him, and he was caught in their pit. | 8 Then the nations came against him, those from regions round about. They spread their net for him, and he was trapped in their pit. |
9 With hooks they put him in a cage and brought him to the king of Bavel to imprison him in a fortress, so that his roar would be heard no more on the mountains of Isra'el. | 9 With hooks they pulled him into a cage and brought him to the king of Babylon. They put him in prison, so his roar was heard no longer on the mountains of Israel. |
10 "'Your mother was like a strong grapevine planted by the water. It was fruitful and luxuriant because of the abundant water. | 10 " 'Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard planted by the water; it was fruitful and full of branches because of abundant water. |
11 It had strong branches to be used as scepters by rulers; besides having thick foliage, it grew taller and taller, until its height was noticed, with its mass of branches. | 11 Its branches were strong, fit for a ruler's scepter. It towered high above the thick foliage, conspicuous for its height and for its many branches. |
12 But it was torn up in fury and flung on the ground. An east wind withered her fruit, her strong branches were broken off; they dried up; and fire consumed the vine. | 12 But it was uprooted in fury and thrown to the ground. The east wind made it shrivel, it was stripped of its fruit; its strong branches withered and fire consumed them. |
13 It has been transplanted to the desert, to a dry, thirsty land. | 13 Now it is planted in the desert, in a dry and thirsty land. |
14 Fire has gone out from its own branches, burning up its fruit, so that now it has no strong branch to be a ruler's scepter.'" This lamentation became very well known. | 14 Fire spread from one of its main branches and consumed its fruit. No strong branch is left on it fit for a ruler's scepter.' This is a lament and is to be used as a lament." |

Nakamura T et al. – The present study suggests that pre–existing statin use and hemoperfusion with polymyxin B–immobilized fiber (PMX–F) may separately and independently contribute to blunt the process of septic shock.
Methods- The authors examined retrospectively whether pre–existing statin and hemoperfusion with PMX–F at the time of admission were separately and independently associated with decreased overall 28–day mortality in septic shock patients.
- Consecutive 173 patients with septic shock (71.2±10.7 years old, 115 male and 58 female) were included in the present study.
- All patients underwent a complete history and physical examination, determination of blood chemistries.
- Multiple stepwise regression analysis revealed that albumin, creatinine (inversely), statin use, hemoperfusion with PMX–F and HDL–cholesterol were independently correlated to 28–day survival in septic shock patients (R2=0.464).

Help! I left a month ago with healthy roses both in ground and in containers with an able housesitter to care for them. I came back to all but one healthy and thriving. Can anyone tell me what's happened to it's leaves? I'm pretty sure it's not black spot but I can't find pics anywhere that look just like what's happening to the leaves. Also there's only one scraggly bud on what used to be a flourishing bush. Pics I've uploaded are closeups of the leaves of the blighted bush located on the north side of the house (plenty of sun) and the same (thriving) rose in another container on the south side of the house. Both have been planted and treated in the same manner, have been in their containers for two years and have been my most consistent performers, providing lots and lots of blooms. Note it has been the rainiest summer on record in NC and continues to rain almost daily! Temps are also way below normal 65 today (Aug 17)!!!! I'd appreciate insight and suggestions for treatment. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think the weather or soil of the garden is not suitable for the rose. |
Here is a link that might be useful: yoga
It could be too much water. The sickly looking ones weren't just fertilized prior to your traveling, were they? The foliage almost appears to have been salt burned but with too much water so the "dead" areas didn't dry out. Almost as if they received too much fertilizer, or there was so much water, it all dissolved at once. Might the rain have mainly come from the north with the plant on the south side being protected by the garage? Kim |
It might also be sun exposure. Midsummer the sun's path through the sky is different than it is now. New leaves that were growing well a month ago in overcast skies now (when the sun does come out without clouds) may be getting too intense sunlight. To me it looks like what happens if you get a rose that's been in a lathe house at a nursery and put it in full sun without gradually acclimating it. Sunburn. |
Yes, it is burned. This happens from some combination of too much fertilizer, phytotoxic sprays such as oil, soap, or fertilizer, sudden increase in sun exposure, heat, and not enough water (a couple of these). Sun exposure on the north-ish side of the house should be decreasing from June 22 to December 22. |
Not to contradict what these wonderful experts have told you- they're probably right- but I had roses that looked like that after one of the neighbors' dogs paid a visit to my yard and lifted his leg on some of my roses. Just a thought. |
I don't doubt it. That would be from a very similar issue, "salt burn". Why do you think your lawn dies out in spots when the dogs have mostly it for their bathroom? Kim |
Yes. My immediate thought was "Burned." Whether by fertilizer -- too much, too soon (I killed a rose that way, so I know it can be done.) or some other agent -- even a friendly neighborhood male dog -- something has burnt the foliage. Jeri |
Definitely burn of some kind. Keep it watered but not soggy, don't feed it anything and move it into some dappled shade for a while and let it rest and recuperate. |
I thought I covered dog pee under "phytotoxic sprays" ;) |
Michael -- Depends upon the breed of dog. :-) Jeri |
Oh, yeah! There is a TON of difference between the bladder capacity of a six pound Toy Fox Terror and that of a Great Pyrenees! Kim |

Add a little more detail (optional): | What exactly is their belief and what is difference in IFB? |
3 Comments
The main difference is the Church of Christ teaches that water baptism is necessary for salvation while IFB sides with the bible and teaches that it's only an ordinance of the church done in memory of Christ's sacrifice. CoC also teach you must endure to the end also in order to be saved.
Church of Christ also believes that you must be a member of the Church of Christ in order to be saved and does not allow musical instruments in worship services. You can find a good summary of their beliefs at:
http://www.gotquesti...-of-Christ.html (I don't agree with all of the conclusions this site comes to on many issues, but they generally have the initial facts right)
You can also view the official denominational doctrine here:
The differences between CoC and IFB are really too many to list in single post, but a major portion of them point to a faith-based salvation (IFB) versus a works-based salvation (CoC).
To echo the above comments, Church of Christ teaches that baptism is required for salvation (contrary to scripture) and that it is possible to lose your salvation (again, contrary to scripture). There are still groups of them out there that believe if you do not belong to a CoC then you will not go to heaven. But not all believe that. I spent the first 21 years of my life as a member of a CoC, and it wasn't until I actually started reading my King James Bible that I saw the heresies being taught.

I've been out and about a lot this year presenting my researching on "Attacking the High Costs of Desktop Virtualization" and although I could give this presentation in my sleep I realized after my presentation at Gartner Catalyst that I needed to address a question that has come up in every presentation during Q/A:
What about the license cost for Microsoft?
I'm not sure why I didn't address this question earlier. I talk about it in my research but when I present on it I skip over it. Maybe I'm externalizing an internal debate "there is nothing I can do about it so why bother" the problem is that's Gunnar Berger talking, not Research Director at Gartner, Gunnar Berger. At some point before VMworld I decided that its my job, as a voice in the industry, to fight for my clients and to say out loud what they say to me in private. So I took to the stage with my traditional material on VDI cost (storage, storage and more storage) and I added something new: #FixVDA!
#FixVDA is simple to understand in a single hashtag: something is broken in the Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) license and needs to be fixed. I created a couple slides in my presentation that pointed to some of the fundamental flaws of this license. The first slide points to the exponential cost difference between using Windows Server "as a desktop" utilizing the RDS CAL versus using Windows Client OS as a desktop:
Then I summed up this cost difference in a few words:
There are a lot of things that have caused virtual desktop technology to stall in its adoption. However as I point out in my presentation, many of these things (storage/clients/software) are cost driven and are being addressed. As a whole, VDI is getting closer to the point where a virtual desktop is cost equivalent to a physical desktop. I believe the game changer in this industry happens when it is common knowledge that a virtual desktop is cheaper than a physical desktop. That's what happened with servers, that hasn't happened with desktops… at least not yet. To get there we need lots of vendors to work together to make this stuff more cost effective but one thing we really need is for Microsoft to get on board.
I have some thoughts as to how this can be done, but for this first blog I wanted to summarize that which I have already said.

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 Just So Quick "Boomer"!
Facts about Just So Quick "Boomer"
- Breed: Greyhound
- Color: Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Just So Quick "Boomer"'s Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Boomer arrived in Tennessee on July 21, 2012 from Emerald Coast, Florida. He is a beautiful, black boy with a shiny coat and amber eyes. He is a bit shy, but is eager to find a family to call his very own. One look at this gorgeous hound and you will melt!
Boomer's foster mom has this to say about him.....
"He is kind of shy. He is loveable to a point and he sleeps in the bedroom at night with us and every morning he roaches to get his morning belly rub. He now stands to eat and will eat in any room. Boomer eats at a perfect pace and finishes his bowl completely.
He is a horder, he has taken every toy and put them in his crate. He LOVES toys. He likes squeeky and floppy toys. He whips his head back and forth with the floppy ones.
He crates wonderfully. He is definately a barker. Again he barks if he hears movement but cannot find the source of the noise and he barks outside if he sees people or something he cannot get to. Kind of like saying "Hey come here! I wanna sniff ya". Boomer is also a tugger! He is a very strong muscley boy and he very much will try to pull you where he wants to go. He is quick to follow command though if you say no or don't allow him to go somewhere, but he will try initially. He has also tried to run and play on the lead. He is really strong.
The only weird thing he does is he refuses to hang out in the living room with us. He lays all day in the bedroom on the floor. The only time he does not lay in there is if we shut the bedroom door and do not allow him access. Even if we move all the blankets out of the room, he lays in that room. He does not come often when you call. You usually have to walk to where he can see you and motion and he is good to go. Otherwise he lays in the bedroom all day. Sometimes he comes out to check things out, then right back he goes. He is not hurting, sick or anything so we just let him do his thing. He is comfy back there."
Other Pets at All About Hounds
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Just So Quick "Boomer", a Smyrna Greyhound dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Greyhound for sale in Smyrna, or seeking a Greyhound dog from a breeder in Smyrna.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Smyrna 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 Smyrna 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 Greyhound breeders who help with Greyhound rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Smyrna paves the way for another one to be saved.

This is the light brown one with the strong spicy scent. They've put alot of thought into creating a bar out of natural ingredients free of all the nasties most commercial companies sneak in their products, I appreciate that. And its much more moisturising than Cliniques Facial Stripping Bars. But it makes me itch. I prefere Pure Luxe's other Facial Bar. The pink one, the one more for sensitive skin, called Soothing Calamine Facial bar.
Olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, Water, Cocos nucifera (coconut)oil, Moroccan lava (Rhassoul) clay, Elaeis guineensis (palm) oil, Sodium hydroxide, Amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil, Bytospermum parkii (shea) butter, Ricinus communis (castor) oil, essential oils of Ylang-ylang, Patchouli, Clove, and Lavender, Sodium lactate.

Special Guest Series: BrainPOP in Berlin! Week 3
Chris Carter's saga with BrainPOP ESL in Germany continues with week 3…
Day Eleven
I tried the Sun is Shining (Teaching Tools; Extra Practice) game today after we finished level one, 2.1. It went pretty well, though they tended to hang on my examples. I let them stop after three sentences. We'll revisit the activity and build on it. Student B said, "Mr. Carter, the sun is not shining." "You're right." I said. "Very good! The sun is not shining. It is cold and grey today." Winter is coming to Berlin.
Day Twelve
Last Friday I sent the parents in my class the link to BrainPOP's free lessons. Many of the students are using BrainPOP at home now. I like this.
Day Thirteen
I've run into a little problem with the You Can Do It quiz and, to a smaller extent, with some of the Warm Up activities. At the end of level one 2.1 I let the students come up three at a time and each answer a question. The students who are not sure of an answer often look over their shoulder for help; and the help comes pouring in. Since we're trying to learn English I request that the help come in English but some students still call out in German.
"There! Over! Yes! No! There, yes, yes!" I don't mind it in English, if they're not too quick with the help. I'm getting some more detailed directions such as "Over the red door!" These often come from student K who is already strong in English but I let her call out. I believe her vocabulary can expand the vocabulary of the whole class.
So here is the problem: When we review the quizzes, some students call out "That was mine." when they see their question. Ok, that's not really a problem," I thought. They're proud of their work. Good. And when one student called out "That's mine," for a wrong answer, I thought,"Even better, they're not afraid to make mistakes. They are happy to learn from their mistakes. They are good risk takers."
But now students are not just calling attention to their own answers. They're calling out the names of the other students. This is no problem if we get ten out of ten. The problem is we usually get around seven out of ten the first time we do the quiz. Some of them have ten out of ten as our class goal and they moan when we don't reach that goal.
When we get to the wrong answer a couple students call out the name of whoever got it wrong. Some moan that their advice on the correct answer was ignored. I keep stopping and reminding them that mistakes are accepted in our class. That we learn from our mistakes. That we are good risk takers. But all I've done is drive the moaning underground. I can still see a few of them shooting smirks and glances in the direction of errant students.
I've got to think about this one… I know the quizzes are geared towards assessing individual progress but we really enjoy using them as a whole class too.
Day Fourteen
No BrainPOP today. We spent the day at the Berlin Zoo.
Day Fifteen
My message seems to be getting through. The class seems more good-natured about the two mistakes in the quiz yesterday. Today is Friday. We're going to the adventure playground this afternoon. My class has German and Music today as well so we were very busy this morning. We did our BrainPOP lesson during snack time. The class didn't mind. BrainPOP has become one of the highlights of the day.
Are you using BrainPOP internationally? Have you got any tips for Chris? We'd love to hear about it! Please post comments below.

- Best tab ever! Review by Ariel
Quality Price Value I've shot with a a lot of finger tabs in this last 3 years, but I still can't find one that's better than this one. It's very confortable, easy to wear, light weight and, most important, the leathers are very good. It's ideal for archers from every level, going from bigginers to professional archers. If you are looking for a tab, this is a must have.
(Posted on 8/23/14)
- Awesome Review by No_composer
Quality Price Value This is a great finger tab, one of my friends let me borrow this, and it helped so much. I don't hit my nock, I don't cruel around my string. I can't wait 'till I get my own.
(Posted on 3/14/14)
- Very good! Review by Ceal
Value Quality Price With lots of different possible settings, this tab fits anyone's hands with ease. Great locking feeling, very durable. I highly recommend!
(Posted on 2/26/14)
- Excellent all the way around Review by Eagleman
Value Quality Price The Saker I is a great tab. It is the most comfortable tab I have used. It has a number of adjustments that make it easy to adjust for your taste. The first time out it improved my score. Never thought I'd like using a finger rest for my little finger but I believe it has greatly helped my form.
(Posted on 1/17/14)
- Thoroughly recommended Review by Rosanne Berryman
Value Quality Price I've been using this for 9 months now, from the first day, it's totally balanced, fits the hand really well, the complete shot action is enhanced by this well balanced and designed tab. I'm completely sold on it
(Posted on 7/11/13)
- Won't use anything else Review by Faith
Quality Price Value This is hands-down the best tab I have ever shot with; worth every penny. I love how adjustable it is to my slightly unorthodox shooting style. It keeps me locked in place and the tendons in my draw hand flat. I can just forget that it is there and concentrate on aiming...
Word of advice: There is a Fivics sizing chart online. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size.(Posted on 3/30/13)
- Very Comfortable Review by Alan Chan
Value Quality Price HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
i bought this after i tried out the KSL Tab for a week. After a week of miserable pain from the KSL, i tried out the Saker 1 and it felt great.
The main difference is that the back edge isn't as thick and protruding as the KSL, so my hand movement wasn't jamming the finger spacer into my finger webbing.
Highly recommended, the sizers are very specific. TRY MULTIPLE SIZES FIRST(Posted on 7/29/11)
- Great Stable Tab Review by Darkleaf
Value Quality Price The Saker I tab gives a great feeling of being "locked in" to a firm release position due to its elongated "A" frame that supports the pad of the thumb. I highly recommend this tab to anyone interested in improving their release.

In "Amazing Grace," a Tapestry of Faith program
The opening of each session is a time to focus the group. It will include a chalice lighting and an introduction to the day's theme.
As participants arrive, have the song "Amazing Grace" playing in the background. Consider a bagpipe rendition for this initial use. As participants enter, greet them and ask them to take a look at the Conundrum Corner, but do not tell them anything about what is there. If they ask, say you will be talking about it later. If you think nametags will be useful, ask participants to fill them out and wear them. Invite everybody into your circle.
Ask if anyone recognizes the music. After a participant or you identify the music as "Amazing Grace," explain that it is the theme song for this program and you will discuss it more at later sessions. Stop the music.
Say that before introductions, you would like the group to engage in the day's opening rituals: a chalice lighting, a moment of focusing silence, and a moment of sharing. Explain that during the silence, youth should sit quietly and gaze at the chalice flame, becoming relaxed and comfortable. This will help them empty their minds of everything they need to think (and perhaps worry) about during the rest of the day so they can focus on their time together.
Light the chalice, speaking these words (ask the group to join you if you have posted them):
May the light of this chalice help us to see the difference between right and wrong.
Ask the group to be silent for a moment. End the silence by saying, "blessed be," or other appropriate words. Explain that you will follow this ritual of a chalice lighting with spoken words followed by silence at each session. (You may decide at future sessions to have a youth light the chalice while another youth or the group speaks the opening words. If so, establish a firm way of choosing the lighter and speaker, and keep the process serious. Even sixth graders can sometimes argue about whose turn it is to light the chalice this week.)
If participants do not already know each other, ask them each in turn to state their names and where they live or attend school. You can do more of a check-in if you like, but keep it focused. Introduce the program with words like these:
The name of our program this year is Amazing Grace: Exploring Right and Wrong. We will examine right and wrong, good and evil, virtue and sin. Some of these terms might not be familiar to you, but they will become so. If somebody says you are virtuous, you are probably doing something they think is good. If somebody says you are being sinful, you are probably doing something they consider bad. Different people have different ideas about what is good and what is bad, what is virtuous and what is sinful. For example, some religions have dietary restrictions. They may believe it is sinful to eat pork. Other people do not believe that. Can you think of other examples of behaviors some people think is wrong but others do not? Virtue and sin, goodness and evil, bad and good are not always easy to understand. You probably know that already just by living as long as you have. Many other people knew and know it, too. That is why there are so many different stories about virtue and sin. We will hear and discuss some of these stories. As Unitarian Universalists, we do not rely on just a single source, like the Bible, to answer big questions. We believe we must answer the questions ourselves, but stories from many different sources, such as science and religious texts, can help guide us. That is why the stories we share in Amazing Grace will come from different religions, cultures, and countries.
We will do more than tell stories. We will also have fun with other activities, like crafts, debates, music, movement, plays, and more.
Along the way, we will examine what it means to live your life as a good or virtuous person. That is not always as easy as it sounds, and we will prove that with a game called "Ethics Play." In this game, we will try to figure out virtue and sin not with ancient stories but with challenges based on real-life situations that sixth graders might face today or in the near future.
I'll bet you have been hearing all your life about being good and being bad. Don't worry. The idea of Amazing Grace is not to tell you what to do. It is about helping you decide on your own what you should do. So let's get started.
Extinguish the chalice without ceremony and move the chalice table aside as necessary to allow movement in the room.

text: Celebrity chef among speakers, presenters By Judy Truesdell Staff Writer Wylie Councilman Bennie Jones is inviting the community to a free summertime celebration the whole family can enjoy. It's called Wylie Family Funfest, and it's planned for 3 p.m. July 3, in advance of the city-sponsored fireworks display. Held at Founders Park, the event will feature family recreation, musical entertainment, a kids' area and concessions including barbecue, as well as guest speakers, such as Mayor Eric Hogue, City Manager Mindy Manson and Recreation Superintendent Rob Diaz. Tre Wilcox, celebrity chef, will be on hand to discuss cooking and recipes as well as his career, which has included appearances on Bravo's "Top Chef," the Food Network's "Iron Chef America," and local programs WFAA-TV's "Good Morning, Texas" and "Metro," and Fox's "Good Day Dallas." As a result of his "Top Chef" competition, he won a trip to Italy where he had the opportunity to study Italian cuisine in some of the country's finest restaurants. He's also been nominated as one of D Magazine's "Top Young Guns" in Dallas. Tre Wilcox Wilcox has been nominated as the James Beard Foundation's Rising Star Chef for two consecutive years; to be considered for this award, a chef must be age 30 or younger, display impressive talent and be likely to make a significant industry impact in years to come, according to information provided by Funfest organizers. "In 2006, Chef Tre traveled to Paris and attended Alan Ducasse's training center where he had the opportunity to refine the fundamentals of his French and Mediterranean cuisine." Wilcox currently teaches cooking classes at Central Market, Neiman Marcus and Sur la Table. Other Funfest presenters will include game warden LeRoy Thomas, speaking about lake safety, and representatives of Wylie PD, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. Folks from area sports leagues, including lacrosse and football, will be present also. Businesses supporting Funfest include Thos. S. Byrne, Ltd. and ARCHITEXAS; these two concerns, both instrumental in creating the new municipal complex, donated funding for the complimentary Dickey's Barbecue that will be served. "Sanden USA is another big sponsor," Jones said. "They were the first local concern to step up to the plate, donating funding for the stage and sound equipment." Elevate Church is sponsoring the kids' area, which will include face painting, a bounce house, and games. Walmart is also contributing funding to the performance area staging. The drumline from That Wylie Band is slated to perform, but Jones said event organizers are still looking for area youngsters to sing, dance or act. "We know that Wylie has talent!" he said. Those wishing to perform should contact Jones at 469-236-9622. The deadline to sign up is Saturday, June 26. Jones also said there are ways in which the community can support the event. A souvenir book is planned, and advertising space is still available. Contact DeDe Willis at 214-514-3182. Ads range from a quarter page to a full page or cover, and prices vary. Those wishing to assist with donations of cash should contact Jones. The councilman said his motivation for planning the event was to give something back to the community and to celebrate the family unit. "This event is important to me and all the citizens working on it," he said. "I have always said we need to give back to our community and somehow get our young people involved. We need to get our families outside in the parks and interact with our young people. This way, we can keep Wylie one of the safest cities in Collin County in the summer when our kids are looking for things to do." He said he'd like to thank Councilman David Goss for his assistance as well as Manson and the parks and recreation staff for their guidance. The city will present its annual fireworks display at dusk. The 82-acre Founders Park is located near the intersection of FM 544 and FM 1378 (Country Club), south of Wylie Stadium.

There Will Be NO MORE Twinkies-Ho Ho's-Ding Dongs-Wonder Bread
There Will Be NO MORE Twinkies-Ho Ho's-Ding Dongs-Wonder Bread, because Hostess Brands—the maker of these iconic baked goods and goodies announced today that it is asking a federal bankruptcy court for permission to close its operations.
Why is Interstate Bakeries Inc and Hostess filing bankruptcy? Hostess is blaming a strike by bakers protesting a new contract imposed on them.
In an already hurting economy, closing Hostess Bakeries will result in almost 18,500 workers losing their jobs as the company shuts 33 bakeries and 565 distribution centers all over America.
CEO Gregory Rayburn released this statement, "We deeply regret the necessity of today's decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike."
What Baby Boomer has not eating Hostess product? We will miss those Twinkies an Ho Ho's, and Ding Dongs—those of us that can still eat sugar.
So rush out and get some today. The bakeries have stopped baking as of Thursday, the last products are out on the market. There Will Be NO MORE Twinkies-Ho Ho's-Ding Dongs-Wonder Bread get them while you can and slip back to those fun filled days of our youth!

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Carlos Beltran and the Cardinals stunned Clayton Kershaw with a four-run third inning, rookie Michael Wacha was again magnificent on the mound and St. Louis advanced to its second World Series in three seasons by roughing up the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-0 in Game 6 of the NL championship series Friday night.
Matt Carpenter sparked St. Louis' big inning with a one-out double on the 11th pitch of his at-bat. Beltran singled him home and the Cardinals quickly removed all the suspense surrounding a team that squandered a 3-1 series lead in the NLCS last fall against San Francisco.
Game 1 of the World Series is Wednesday at the winner of the ALCS between the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers.
After losing Game 5 in Los Angeles, the Cardinals turned to Wacha once again. The right-hander was even better in outpitching Kershaw for the second time this series.

I just found this video in my HGTV newsletter, and wanted to share it with you guys.
See the link below. The NYTimes R&D labs are coming up with lots of ideas. And when you think about it, the kitchen table in many homes represents a LOT of square footage in the house. So making it work harder is a good idea, especially in a really small home. What do you think are the chances of something like this being on YOUR want list? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Kitchen Tables of the Future

I think this would be a hit in coffee shops and restaurants as mentioned in the video, but I personally wouldn't like it in a home where the family gathered to eat together. I don't have a family, but if I did I would not buy a table like this for my kitchen. |
- Posted by moccasinlanding (My Page) on Thu, Sep 15, 11 at 20:51
Yes, Schoolhouse, I put lots of things on the table, but I like to keep it set for dinner all the time. But all the smart phones and such, I think it is going to lead to something like this in the future. But how do you keep it from breaking with a hot pot sitting on it? Or the kiddies spilling their spaghetti sauce everywhere? Hmmmm. It kind of reminds me of John King's smart board during the 2008 election reporting. Maybe for committee meetings. And for folks wanting to have a real time or live way of rearranging furniture. It would be smart enough that you could draw the room dimensions for it, and then lay the product's SKU on the screen, and it would come up with all the dimensions, color options, and you could just move it around the room and also find other pieces that could work with it. Just a thought, anyway. |

Too high-tech for me, but my DH would have loved it! I think it would be great in business applications--committee meetings, graphic design, etc. Sometimes I'm still amazed that I'm using a laptop and surfing the web. :) |
Interesting video, I thought it was going to show tables that could be folded up or something. You can tell I'm not very technically advanced.... |
What chance? Slim to none. But I agree that it would be great in a coffee house. |

never! I still use a desktop. I do have a trac cell phone. it's been dead for a yr or so now. i am gonna put time on it for when I'm driving tho. and I use a land line. corded. |

If it's any consolation steph, this is my phone. |
- Posted by desertsteph (My Page) on Sun, Sep 18, 11 at 23:50
ML- you're beautiful! lol! a trac phone is a 20.00 one from target (or walgreens etc) that you can only get time from the trac phone people but you can buy 10.00 or 15.00 $ etc. 20.00 would give me enough time for several months. I think the time expires in 3 months unless you add more anyway. I usually end up putting another 10.00 on so not to lose time - in case i ever need it. last time I was using it I probably didn't use 30 min in 6 months. I only took it in the car for emergencies or if say I was meeting my sister somewhere. That way if she was running late (or I was) we could contact each other. I think the 1 time I used it we were coming from different directions to meet in our 'home town' area and we both got lost!!! how strange - except there was so much construction going on all around us and the deters (and new builds/change of land use as we prev knew it). They can wipe out my 'where am I? landmarks' so fast! well, sometimes it's been a yr since I've been by an area too - lol! I did think I should put time on it tho since I haven't yet wired the new place for the land line. I spent 2 nights over there w/o a phone and it didn't bother me - but i also had no emergency either! also, my sister gave me her old 'fancy to me' phone but i have no idea who to get time on it from... don't want a 30.00 a month bill on it. 10.00 a month w/trac phone is way more than I'd use! I know how to make a call and answer one. that's it - if I even remember that. first time I had it in 'use' (ha! had it with me) my sister called me - she was sitting about 3' away from me. nothing. it didn't ring. finally she asked me if my phone was 'on'. I said no - I'm not talking to anyone. lol! I didn't know it had to be 'on' to get a call too! I also gave up on the cordless in the house. it was expensive to replace the batteries and I so often lost the phone somewhere... I even still use a corded mouse - so I can track that sucker down when it escapes... I seldom talk on the phone. if it weren't for the solicitors it'd probably never ring! but every so often I wanna actually talk to my kids (other than email) and in case of a storm or something the phones you need to plug in don't work anyway. I live in the boonies and there are times we lose electricity often. So far, this is the first summer I can remember we didn't lose power - I'm very grateful for that - a/c wise. |

Doubt if I would have that table. I do think it is totally cool though. Laughing on Giant Ipod on legs. I too am still in aw on surfing the net shopping from home when needed. Talking to people on the internet phone. I can do that but can barely run the cell phone. I am loving wireless in our house with printer on the system too. Great to be able to print something from the living room. I am just techie enough to get myself in trouble. I do love the computers. Steph get yourself a wireless laptop and router. Some ISP come with wireless router. It will change your internet life style. totally love to be able to take the computers anywhere. I am on the front porch right now enjoying the cool evening. Will not be many more like this before winter sets in. I HATED being stuck to a desktop and all the room they take up. |

Do you know of a good place to buy veggie seedlings? I'm looking for heirlooms, or unusual varieties - not just the "early girls" and "better boys", know what I mean?
I usually start veggie seedlings myself in a group of miniature greenhouses. But for some reason, this year they're not doing so well and I know I'll need to buy some. It would break my heart to devote an entire year to growing boring, ordinary hybrids just like everyone else. :) My favorite supplier sold his property to a landscaper, which is really sad. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I found a heirloom tomato supplier in ohio when searching on the web. I didn't buy from them, but you might try them. http://www.tomatobob.com |
That's a cool site; lots of description and the prices look pretty good. I called the number, since they're just over in Hilliard. But they don't sell any plants, and only on-line seed sales. Drat. |

Various Artists By James Rodgers Published January 28, 2008 The Rough Guide To The Music Of BrazilThe Rough Guide To FlamencoWorld Music Network
These collections are not meant to be complete documentations of a musical style or of a particular country's music, but more of a jumping-off point for those who want to dip a toe in the water before diving into the pool. The Rough Guide To Flamenco opens the doors to many avenues of exploration, especially for those who only think of the Gipsy Kings when they think of flamenco. And while the Kings are not included on this particular set, there are many artists who play in a similar vein (La Macanita, Tomatito with Camaron). Others are taking flamenco into new and intriguing directions (Sergio Monroy's jazzy "Mozamo"), adding a modern twist (Ojos De Brujo's "Sultanas De Merkaíllo") or instigating a Cuban blend (Son del La Frontera's "Tangos De Mi Novia"). Even more engaging, due to its wider focus, is The Rough Guide To The Music Of Brazil, although it barely scratches the surface of the many musical facets of the country, it still works as a stellar collection of music—O Karaiva, Nereu, Mylene, and Carlinhos Brown with Tata Monale are but a few of the standouts. Both of these discs are great reference points for expanding musical horizons, but more importantly, they're also thoroughly entertaining.

Just do it! - page 2
For all those out there hemming & hawing over whether to start school ("Am I too old?") or change careers ("Should I do this?") or just have the "What if's" in general, I saw a quote this morning... Read More
1Jun 26, '13 by tldamoSomeone told me that 5 years ago...Just do it. And I did! I graduated Nursing RN last April, took my NCLEX last Friday and passed it. And I turned 46 last month. I questioned myself countless times whether I was too old to do this, or will I be able to "keep up". But I kept going and did it anyway. It wasn't easy and, yes, I had some failures along the way. But I forced myself to keep going. I'm so glad I did! My advice...if you really want to succeed, just do it!WoodlandMom likes this.
0Jun 27, '13 by JacquelineDeeThank you so much for this! I have been fully doubting myself and contemplating not starting next month, but this really did just give me that motivating push!! God bless.

Ask anyone who wears America's brightest orange and they will tell you Cowboys are special. From the moment Burns and I arrived on campus (and even before!), this Cowgirl felt the strong sense of family that bonds this group together. As someone who is not an alumna of OSU, I quickly learned what it was like to be considered part of the Cowboy family.
This feeling of family is especially strong among Women for OSU. I have met a variety of successful and brilliant women through this program; women with unique gifts and creative talents that give freely of themselves because of their passion for our school. They make the university a better place for current and future Cowboys. I love the fact that some of these women are alumnae and some are not; however, all of these women have a common bond — they love OSU and are passionate about the future of our Cowboys and Cowgirls.
The diversity among this group of women illustrates the broad scope of interests among our Cowboy family. Each of these women has made a difference in her own way, as it relates to OSU, and it certainly makes this Cowgirl sit a little taller in the saddle!
OSU is very fortunate to have this group of women and I encourage other women who are passionate about making a difference to join Women for OSU. Together we are stronger, and together we can harness our creativity and passion to make the world a brighter orange.

It's not exactly unusual for a film's marketing to play up perceived strengths of the project, such as one member of the cast or even a producer ('from the people who brought you' and so on).
If there's a 'name' involved who'll pique people's interest, why wouldn't you emphasise that? That person is often the reason the film got financed in the first place, after all. But there's a line that shouldn't be crossed. It's a matter of degree, yes… but there are also political and cultural sensitives to be considered.
In the case of the Anchor Bay DVD cover for the US and Canadian release of The Sapphires, the line's been not only crossed but reversed over and spat on for good measure.
An ensemble story about a group of Indigenous girl singers and their white male manager has been transformed into the story of a charismatic white male singer and his pretty but largely forgettable backup singers. This would be poor form at the best of times. Given that the film itself touches on issues of racism in Vietnam War-era Australia, when it was hard for young women like these to gain the recognition their talents warranted, it's egregious.
No, the Australian actors featured don't yet have international reputations, but there's no reason they couldn't have been featured along side, instead of as an after thought to, the excellent Irish actor Chris O'Dowd.
MaryAnn Johanson wrote a great piece about this two days ago, using more colourful terms than I've used here (Why has Anchor Bay Dick-washed and Whitewashed The Sapphires?), which I tweeted last night, copying in Chris himself.

Chocolate-brown, lantern shaped fruits are 2-inches long, and so ornamental! Don't let the color fool you; these are not candy, but rather potent habanero peppers that carry a massive 300,000 Scoville units of heat! (70 days)
Each packet contains approximately 25 seeds.
Planting Instructions:
Start seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before last frost date of spring. Surface sow or barely cover the seeds, which benefit from the light to speed germination. Keep seed-trays warm and do not allow to dry out. When sprouts appear, move to a sunny window or grow light.
Set out well-developed transplants after last frost date when weather is warm. Peppers need rich soil and can be harvested green or ripe.

McLaren not worried by Perez's recent mistakes
© Sauber Motorsport AG
30 October 2012 by Ryan Wood | M | Tweet
McLaren aren't concerned by Sergio Perez's recent run of poor form which has seen the Mexican fail to score in three races, ironically since signing for McLaren where he will race in 2013.
Perez has been involved in a handful of incidents since the Singapore Grand Prix where he scored a single point for Sauber. In Japan he span out of the race after attempting to pass current McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton, he was then involved in a first-lap crasg in Korea and suffered a puncture in Japan when he and Daniel Ricciardo collided.
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh isn't worried though, and insists the 22-year-old is still learning.
"He is a young and exciting driver. Exciting can be good, it can be bad. But I think he did a fantastic job to be up there in qualifying," said Whitmarsh of Perez's eighth place.
"He has the speed, and he wants to get up there and win. But if he hasn't got something to learn at 22, there is something wrong.
"I haven't spent much time with him, but the time I have spent [with him, I found him to be] very intelligent, and very ambitious. And, at the moment, he has a good level of humility.
"If we can turn him into a world champion he will lose some of that along the way," he added.
Whitmarsh also revealed that he may try and persuade Sauber to release Perez early, as at present he is unable to start working with McLaren until January 1st when his contract expires.
"We are trying to be respectful of the fact that he is doing a job at Sauber.
"We have had limited contact at the moment. Sauber have been very gracious and they have accepted what is happening and understand why Sergio is doing it," continued Whitmarsh.
"We have a very good relationship with Sauber but I don't think it is appropriate to push the point at the moment."

ACIT vs. Arnav Akshay Mehta (ITAT Mumbai) |
Proviso to s. 43(5)(d) inserted w.e.f. 1.4.2006 provides that a derivative transaction on a recognized stock exchange shall not be a "speculative transaction". MCX Stock Exchange was notified as a recognized stock exchange on 22.5.2009. Though the recognition came later, MCX has to be treated as a recognized stock exchange w.e.f. 1.4.2006 because the provisions providing for recognition are purely procedural and will have retrospective effect. |
