Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cappachino & Latte, a Seminole Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Seminole, or seeking a Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Seminole.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Seminole 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 Seminole 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 Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Seminole paves the way for another one to be saved.

2009 Impala BOSE System - Repeat function
Just bought this car and I like the stereo, no complaints, but I can't find the REPEAT button. When I go into the Music Navigator Mode (SORT by Artist or Album) it just keeps repeating the same song from the mp3 cd. The manual says to push the RPT button to turn on or off repeat, but I don't have a RPT button. It's probably something simple but I can't see it.
ryster Posts: 531The Bose stereo does not have a RPT button. The RPT button is on the base, non-MP3 stereo.
I have an '06 Impala with the Bose/MP3 option and have never used the MP3 function. However, based on what the manual says, when using the Music Navigator the stereo will scan the disc and begin playing the disc while the scan continues in the background. Once the scan is completed, the disc will start playing from the beginning again, but will then play all songs by artist alphabetically. For example, if you have 10 songs by Aerosmith and 15 songs by the Black Eyed Peas, it will play all the Aerosmith songs first and then move on to the Black Eyed Peas tracks.
If your stereo is playing the same song over and over, even after the scan is complete, it almost sounds like the stereo is only seeing that 1 MP3 file. Have you tried a different CD-R? Have you tried manually jumping to different tracks to see if the stereo will do it?

Portland Leapfrogs Other US Cities Once Again With New Cycle Track
September 1, 2009 § 8 Comments
Was just forwarded this article from bikeportland noting the brand new Cycle Tracks being installed in their city. This project was championed by the Mayor, and uses parked cars as the buffer which creates a dedicated bike lane. You see these throughout Europe where they have been met with great success. This style of bike lane was also highlighted in the clip we posted from the film "Contested Streets", where planner Jan Gehl stands in front of a sidewalk and describes the infrastructure, while bicyclists rush past.
Not to be slowed down, Portland is also introducing the Left Turn Bike Box, which are also seen throughout Europe. It's incredible to see how fast momentum is building in the North West for these projects. If you visited Portland five years ago and went back last month, you'd see a night and day difference. The number of cyclists we noted on the streets was awe-inspiring, and as Roger Geller, city planner, explained to us last year, they merely took the "Build it and they will come" approach to their infrastructure. Obviously, it's paid off. Accident rates are plummeting, ridership is skyrocketing, and an entire industry has been set in motion with local bike shops on many corners, and businesses on two wheels abounding.

Just keep such stuff in Oak Cliff and away from my neighborhood. I got to see Seattle's latest when I was visiting my parents, and there are a lot of poorly designed and executed facilities that make things more difficult for experienced cyclists without attracting less experienced ones. My sister, who rides in Seattle daily, calls them "a bad joke."
I find it sad when I see stuff such as the url photo, taken in Fort Worth on Magnolia. Story at:
Hey Steve "A"
Don't like bike lanes?
Then don't use em' and take your chances
as a "vehicle", good luck with that.How about you follow me on my commute up
the Zang bridge where it goes from 3 lanes to two, turns to the right, around a tree, watch out for the first right hand merge with traffic at speed (40-50ish) still going uphill over potholes
now for the second right hand merge that's a fairly constant traffic situation. You're probably gonna have to stop here and wait on a tiny triangle of road for a while til you find your holeshot which will still be going uphill and over potholes (at least the dart bus driver now lays on his horn to warn me to stop.Have fun competing with the 3rd merge halfway down the bridge, maybe traffic will yield for you…maybe not. good luck fella!
Mannytmoto is completely correct in noting that VC is NOT going to attract more people to bikes. It is not a basis for advocacy, it's a method of riding a bike safely. I rarely see people practicing it.
Our principal point of disagreement (and it's probably not even a disagreement) is that safe bike infrastructure isn't something P&R people should be doing in their spare time. Myself, I think a GOOD one helps all road users and that's not easy to accomplish. Money's short; for initial projects, the "best of the best" should be chosen, not marginal projects such as the Fort Worth Magnolia restripe. Better ways to cross the Trinity, local Freeways, and RR track crossings come to mind. Think "bike shortcuts." Sounds like Major Taylor wouldn't object to a better way to cross the Trinity.
I'd really like to see some start at BFOC towards a short list of OC projects that might be considered. I think I tossed a few candidates on the table in the paragraph above. Oh, and keep those bike racks coming!
Who are the "P&R People" you're referring to?
What facilities in Seattle are you referring to?
Your intial post seem to be very VC and antiquated.
How do bike lanes teach people to ride unsafely?Wether you like it or not bike lanes are coming to Dallas. We're trying to make sure the best possible scenario will be put into play by studying how successful cities are attacking the problem.
Oh, and guess what…It's not just about you "experienced cyclist" either. I guesss I should be asking you how your acent up Ventoux was? You were on Contadors' wheel the entire time right?
We in BFOC are attempting to make cycling irrestable to everyone, not just the "experienced"
P&R = Parks & Recreation. Mostly, P&R people are not trained in designing traffic facilities – which is why they make those paths cross gobs of streets, with dorky stop signs at every street, and poor sightlines. I know of nobody that advocates such facilities. Certainly not BFOC nor myself.
Specifically, in Seattle, the sharrows along NE 75th street, and the area where the Burke Gilman Trail crosses 25th Ave NE, to name just two lousy designs. The Burke Gilman Trail crossing has the highest bike accident rate of anywhere in Seattle other than maybe where the streetcar tracks cause diversion falls.
I did not claim bike lanes teach anyone to ride unsafely. Bike facilities are not teaching tools. Bike lanes do create an expectation in motorist minds that I don't belong in the traffic lane when they're present, even if I'm preparing to make a left turn, or riding outside a door zone. Bike paths seem to be much better in that regard, and bike paths that improve my ability to get from place to place can be a wonderful benefit. I'm unclear about what is "antiquated" in this paragraph.
I don't race. I've never raced. I don't follow racing. I don't plan to race, other than I plan to try cyclocross. Mostly I ride to work and to local stores. That means I go from a point to a point, regardless of what facilities and road choices may exist in between.
"Keep such stuff in Oak cliff and away from my neighborhood"
Are you or are you not stating that the cycle tracks mentioned in the article are in you sisters words "a Joke" as in a bad idea? To me it sounds like you don't like bike lanes at all.
That kinda thinking reeks of a Vehicular Cyclist mentality.
That type of thinking is antiquated, I won't spoon feed you the definition ok?Neither the Parks and recreation dept or any Public Relations group is going to be installing bike lanes on city streets. Bike lanes go on streets, not rec centers or board rooms.
While bike paths are nice at times bike lanes are what is needed and practically already there. Yes, drivers do need to be made aware of cyclist when a left turn is required, the right kind of bike lane could eliminate a dooring situation or the dreaded "right hook", hello… bike box? More cyclist in bike lanes would create more awareness in the mindsets of most drivers. These same drivers you speak of can be conditioned to expect to deal with us cyclist in bike lanes and paths and streets when needed. It will take lots of work, but it can be done. Cars can be taught to play nice with us cyclist.
It's too bad your sister seems to have given up on bike lanes in Seattle, perhaps with some input from such a dedicated rider some of their problems could be addressed if truly needed. Calling them a joke really doesn't help the situation.

More reviews by Annabellagrace
I bought this Lancome eyelash curler online for a bargain price, and I didn't know what to expect as I had been reading mixed reviews, and for the cheap price, I wasn't expecting anything insanely grand.
I love it, simple. I hold it on my eyelashes for 20 seconds, remove and if it hasn't reached the full curl I want to achieve, I curl for a little longer. I have fairly long eye lashes, but they aren't very thick and therefore I normally apply mascara even if curling. But with this curler, I can leave 'au naturel' or apply mascara. :)
You have to be careful that the curler doesn't pinch, don't pull on the curler whilst curling your lashes, or you will strain your eyelid and eyelashes, and may (you are likely too) pull some lashes out (I speak from experience!)
When I needed more silicone refills for the curler, I couldn't find a new one in time, so I bought a simple drugstore curler as back up and the refills fitted in my lancome curler, which was awesome. Now I can use them until the curler or refills need changing. If you use this curler after curling your lashes with mascara on them, (something you're supposedly NOT meant to do, but I sometimes do anyway), just wipe the mascara off with a makeup wipe and it's good to go again.
All in all, great curler, i'd definately buy again.
My mom gets free gifts whenever she buys something from Lancome at Macy's, and I always get these Lancome eyelash curlers. For the first couple months, maybe even a year, I thought the eyelash curler did an amazing job. I have sparse and straight asian lashes, and it gave me the oomph I needed. Unfortunately, it has recently plucked away my lower lashes at the outer corners of my eyes. I thought maybe I needed another replacement pad, but that was not the case. With my barely there lower lashes, I do not need an eyelash curler in my collection that continues to minimize my lashes. Even though I receive these as free gifts, I won't be using them again.
as for everyone that had their eyelashes cut off from the metal, lancome did provide one extra replacement so yup. it curls my eyelashes great but you have to careful not to press to hard or it will make that 90 degree L shape. uglyyy
it curls my asian straight eyelashes nicely. this is the first eyelash curler ive used but i think once im done with the replacement, i will buy the shisheido eyelash curler because this one does not get my outer lashes.
I've been curling my eyelashes for years and years, and this is easily the worst curler I've used. On more than one occasion, this curler has CUT my lashes. I'm not pressing down unusually hard, and no other curler has done this to me, so I'm pretty sure the product itself is the culprit. There is nothing truly as horrifying as accidentally cutting off half your eyelashes - after it happened twice, I tossed it in the trash. Absolute garbage.
First off, I don't know how much this cost or the packaging because it was given to me by my friend when she used to work for Lancome. I had this curler for a litle under a year, and it worked well intially. But, a few weeks ago I noticed that a huge chunk of my eyelashes had been snipped! I didn't realize when it had happened, but I immediatly checked my curler to see if it was the culprit. The rubber liner had worn away in one section exactly were my missing lashes would have been. This left exposed metal, which seems to have cut my lashes! Maybe I should have been more diligent about inspecting my curler with every use, but I have never had this happen with any other curler in the past. And, I think it is terrible that this happened with under a year of use. I would definitely tell all buyers to beware.
More reviews by MakeupFashionista
Like majority of the reviewers I got this as a GWP. I have to say I was a bit skeptical of using it, especially since they were giving them away. But I truly use this every time I curl my lashes. It works well for my normal-type of lashes. I would purchase if they actually sold it.
i got this in a gwp and i really like this curler. I'm asian and so i have strait lashes that point downward and this makes them look like i have fake lashes. it curls them so beautifully. occasionally on my off days it pulls out some lashes but thats rare. Too bad lancome doesn't actually sell it. =(
This did nothing for my straight hard to curl lashes. But to be fair even the Shu Umera does nothing for my lashes. Oh well back to the eyelash perm
I was not curling my lashes since my Shu eyelash curler died. Like Kelly, I received this in a GWP and this works great!!
I got this in a recent GWP (good timing since my Shu was dead) and I really like it a lot! It curls my already long lashes really, really well (better than my Shu did!!) I am glad I did not buy a new curler yet (I was going to try the Shiseido one next). I saved $13 (for now! LOL!)

anyone using this and does it cause weight gain? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have been on Activella for 2 months. Before Activella. I tried Triest and natural progesterone. My body did not tolerate them. My main symptoms were insomnia and anxiety. Within 24 hours of taking my first pill, the anxiety was greatly diminished. The insomnia has improved, but my sleeping could be better. I have gained a pound, but that may have nothing to do with the Activella. In the past month, I have not gained anything. I didn't realize how bad I felt, until I started taking the Activella. I now feel more like my old self, and I feel like I can handle my life again. |
I'm starting Activella today. I have many symptoms, but I told my GYN if I could control the anxiety, it would go a long way in handling the other symptoms. I've gained a few pounds in the last year, so I'll have to be careful while on this HRT. |
How long does it take for any benefits to kick in, or any side effects to subside? |
Well, the hot flashes are gone and the libido is coming back. Still have the anxiety though. |

Activella is hormone replacement therapy. |

Nowadays, every fictional detective needs a hook. Some are characters from, or authors of, classic novels. Others are archaeologists, caterers, tour guides, psychics, and stay-at-home moms. Stephanie Plum's gimmick may be unique, though: She's inept.
Actually, Stephanie, a bounty hunter working for a bail-bond agent in Trenton, N.J., calls herself ''brave and semicompetent,'' a kinder and perhaps more accurate assessment. The appeal of Janet Evanovich's popular creation is that she's not much better than the average Jersey girl would be at nabbing criminals. She doesn't know martial arts (''The only black belt in my closet is a narrow snakeskin with a gold buckle''), she doesn't jog or work out (unless you consider walking in strappy sandals with four-inch heels a form of exercise), and if she's still got her figure, it's no thanks to sensible eating habits. Here's what Stephanie consumes during the course of To the Nines, the ninth novel in this best-selling series: chocolate cake, fettuccine Alfredo with sausage, a bagel dripping with butter, McDonald's french fries with a large Coke (her preferred hangover cure), a meatball sub, and a strawberry Pop-Tart -- on the theory that it's good to have fruit for breakfast.
Furthermore, Stephanie isn't particularly clever; even she attributes her success to ''more luck than skill.'' And that's just as well, because if Stephanie could identify the bad guy as quickly as a moderately astute reader could, things would be wrapped up 70 pages earlier, minus the creepy finale. Anyway, the charms of Evanovich's writing have less to do with intricate plotting than with the characters in Stephanie's working-class neighborhood and her glamour-free job apprehending bail jumpers. The book opens with Stephanie and colleague Lula (a former prostitute and ''plus-size black woman in a size-seven white world'') trying to cuff a fat, hairy, naked guy who moons them, then slicks himself down with Vaseline and crows, ''You want to take me in, you have to wrestle with me.'' In a quintessential Evanovich moment, some elderly neighbors turn up to kibitz about the bounty hunters' technique: '''You girls need to watch more television,' the old man said. 'You need to be more like those Charlie's Angels.... They could kick doors down in all kinds of shoes.'''
Geezers like him are the heart and soul of Evanovich's novels, spreading gossip via the funeral-parlor viewing network and popping next door to break up fights with the garden hose. There aren't enough of them this time around, and that, more than the desultory story line about a serial killer stalking Stephanie, makes ''To the Nines'' a less than stellar entry in the series. The appearance of Elvis impersonators (during a brief jaunt to Vegas) is always a sign of forced wackiness, and even the riot these guys set off (against some Tom Jones impersonators, their sworn enemies) lacks the vim of the doings back home. Stephanie -- mooching dinner at her parents' house, running into old high school classmates, and torn between the affections of a sexy cop and a sexier coworker -- is refreshingly unlike the loner sleuths of most detective fiction. Setting her biological clock ticking, as Evanovich does in ''To the Nines,'' is a risk (who ever heard of a pregnant bounty hunter?), but it could help Plum get her game back. Just think what the neighbors will say.

By Charmaine Picard. News, Issue 172, September 2006Published online: 01 September 2006
NEW YORK. Slow and decidedly unsteady progress is being made at the World Trade Center site, where the fifth anniversary of the 11 September attacks will be commemorated with a solemn morning observance. In the intervening years since the terrorist assault, political infighting by city and state officials, victims' groups, developer Larry Silverstein, and the site's owner, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, has led to numerous construction delays. The recent announcement that the city/state agency overseeing the rebuilding efforts, the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC), will disband later this year has left many wondering what else could go wrong.
Construction began on the controversial Freedom Tower in April 2006 after a public battle between architect Daniel Libeskind and developer Mr Silverstein delayed building. Libeskind's master plan calls for a 1,776 foot tower to symbolise US independence with a spire that mirrors the raised torch of the Statue of Liberty. A redesign of the building by Mr Silverstein's handpicked architect David Childs of Skidmore Owings and Merrill left out much of Libeskind's original symbolic content, yet the architect's ideas were eventually reintroduced into the final architectural plans with the backing of New York Governor George Pataki.Official designs for office towers two, three and four on the memorial quadrant are to be unveiled on 7 September. The long-awaited plans by architects Lord Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, and Fumihiko Maki will provide a diversity of building styles at the site. No architect has yet been named for a fifth residential tower operated by the Port Authority. Space for art and culture at Ground Zero remains a contentious issue. The World Trade Center Memorial and Museum resumed construction in August 2006 after design modifications demanded by Governor Pataki and Mayor Michael Bloomberg brought expenditures down from a hefty $1 billion to $510m. The revised plan reduces the Memorial and Museum from 150,000 to 120,000 sq. ft, and resolves several underground safety issues by creating one main security entrance through the visitor centre.The memorial, designed by Michael Arad and Peter Walker, retains many of the original elements including waterfalls that empty into two voids where the twin towers once stood. It is scheduled to open on 11 September 2009.Plans for the Performing Arts Center designed by Frank Gehry are currently on hold until after the WTC Memorial Foundation completes its fundraising campaign for the memorial and museum. To date, the foundation has brought in $131m and is $170m shy of its final goal. Deputy Mayor Dan Doctoroff has gone on record asserting that the city itself may take over the development and capital campaign for the Performing Arts Center. However, a spokesperson for the WTC Memorial Foundation told The Art Newspaper that no formal discussions have taken place. The LMDC has allocated $50m for the arts building, which is estimated to cost around $200m and will house the Signature Theater Company and Joyce Theater Foundation.Previous plans for a culture centre adjacent to the memorial were scrapped last summer when the Drawing Center pulled out of the development over criticism of its future exhibition content, and the International Freedom Center was banished from the site by Governor Pataki over similar concerns.

to ask support for defining professional learning in the following way: "professional learning through educator collaboration."
Such collaboration requires protected time in the school day so that teachers can generate curricula, examine student work, share results of their own assessments of student learning, and benefit from one another's expertise.
to ask that policymakers support the professional expertise of teachers.
Because they know their subject matter and their students, teachers should select materials, develop curricula, and decide teaching strategies, including and especially during this time of new standards. Teachers should also generate and use their own formative assessments to continuously track student learning.
to ask that institutions of higher education be evaluated on multiple bases and with multiple kinds of evidence.
Ratings of institutional effectiveness risk being inaccurate and even dangerous if they rely only on graduation rates and salaries of graduates.

The NWP and local sites are the best effort to realize literacy's promise to enhance democracy. If ever there were a time to draw a line and resist cuts, this is it. --Don Rothman

Yes I did. Writing is so important for students learning, and this project is invaluable in preparing teachers to develop lesson plans involving writing strategies. We want to compete globally- get students writing. To get students writing teachers need strategies they need NWP.

Sony hopes the Handycam HDR-TD10 will usher in a new era of camcorders as it will be the company's first 3D consumer device. DigitalCameraReview received extensive hands-on time with the 3D Handycam, which Sony claims are the first production units to roll off the line. » Read Article
Today is a big day for fans of Sony's camcorders, because in addition to its two new Bloggie models, the company has unveiled a whopping 13 new models being added to its Handycam line of camcorders.

In addition to the six consumer-level HD camcorders Panasonic announced at CES, the company also has something in store for the more serious videographer to the tune of three new prosumer HD camcorders, each sporting Panasonic's vaunted 3MOS image sensor.
Sony today introduced what the company is dubbing the world's first consumer level interchangeable lens HD camcorder: the NEX-VG10, a $2,000 HD camcorder built on the NEX digital camera standard.

Moms, Dads and grads all have different needs from a dedicated video recorder. The college student will prize portability and quick uploads to Facebook, while Dad wants a camcorder that will help him with his golf swing. We've picked some of our favorites for parents and kids alike to help you get the right camcorder into the right hands.

So Chicago police want to be paid for all work they do when they're not officially on the job? That's fine and dandy as far as I am concerned.
But what about all the teachers who bring home papers to grade at night? And, yes, that does happen often — just in case the usual grumpy teacher-bashers want to bellyache about that.

Scrimmage roundup
As Chip Kelly put it, the only good news out of today's scrimmage for the offense is that it's only April. There's still time to figure out how to snap the ball, and pass the ball, and receive the ball. The running game wasn't so bad—though not nearly as dominant as last week—but otherwise the offense was atrocious.
There were two scoring plays in 19 series (not including two successful conversions of two-point tries, in three attempts). The only points in the first half's 12 series came on a 38-yard field goal by walk-on Justin Dougherty. On the final series of the day, the offense finally found the end zone, on a 21-yard run by LeGarrette Blount.
The defense got called out a bit this week after giving up some big rushing plays last week, and they responded pretty well. Not a lot of huge hits, but swarming to the ball, and consistent pressure on the quarterbacks. Of the 48 rushing plays by the offense, 20 resulted in negative yardage. Spencer Paysinger in particular made some nice plays on defense.
The five quarterbacks combined to go 7-of-29 for 45 yards with one interception. Cade Cooper was the lone bright spot, going 5-of-8 for 29 yards. Cooper got on the field for the fifth series, the first on which the offense crossed the 50, or even earned a first down. He was also under center for the drive that ended in Blount's touchdown.
Otherwise, it was brutal. Cody Kempt threw the interception, but it was one of numerous dropped passes on the day, as Jeff Maehl couldn't haul it in and it fell into the arms of Casey Matthews. Justin Roper lost a fumble on an awkward exchange with Blount, and Nick Reed recovered.
It was a cold, breezy day, which might have led to the uninspired performance by the offense. Blount finished with 11 carries for 49 yards, but nobody else did anything of note. Remene Alston ran hard, but poor protection gave him a final line of 10 carries for minus-one yard.
On the bright side, Kelly said Nate Costa has performed well in non-contact practice situations. He thinks Costa gives them a chance to win right now. But as the Ducks found out last season, you're probably going to need more than one Pac-10 caliber quarterback to get through the season, and the Ducks don't look they have more than one right now.
Some highlights: Cooper scrambling for 12 yards after the pocket collapsed on a third-and-10 play … Paysinger twice stuffing Blount behind the line of scrimmage … Darron Thomas running 30 yards on an option keeper, then taking a loss of five on the next play when he probably should have thrown it away … Chris Harper scrambling for 14 on a third-and-13 play … Roper hitting Maehl for 15 yards on a play that started at the 2-yard line … Thomas heaving an incompletion 50 yards in the same situation … Right tackle Jacob Hucko sliding out to pick up the blitzing Riley Showalter, freeing Andre Crenshaw for a 15-yard gain … Blount giving his typical rough treatment to Todd Doxey on a 13-yard gain … Kevin Garrett coming off the edge to tip a Kempt pass.

Apple Pie Crapoleon
Posted By Kelly On July 29, 2006 @ 9:46 pm In Recipes | No Comments
So I decided to try a Semi-homemade recipe … Apple Pie Napoleon
As I figured before I began, I would have been better off just eating the pie out of the oven. Somewhere between the kitchen and the 'Booze-scape' it fell over. Considering it was three inches wide and filled with heavy apple pie filling (that looked like vomit) it was not a shock, and made for a ton of laughs from my husband.
The taste was something I was not expecting. Apart the pie, puff pastry, cream cheese frosting, and even the whipped topping are not bad. Mix them and some sort of evil magic happens … it tastes awful.
Because pictures speak louder than words, I present the death of an apple pie, or Apple Pie Crapoleon

RailsConf 2012
Heard about the big Basecamp launch this March? Wondering what's new, how it's shaping Rails, and the tech behind it? We're going to go over some the practices and patterns in the new Basecamp's code base and you can learn how to improve your app with them.
Some of what we'll go over:
Employing concerns to share code across models/controllers Stacker, the CoffeeScript component behind the "page" based layout Why polling for updates still works at scale Client side testing without the hassle Using jbuilder to keep view data out of models Keeping your team's sanity with a single setup script Debugging painful JavaScript performance slowdowns How to keep your app alive even if external dependencies like Redis are down Why tagged request logging and action/controller SQL query logging can make finding bugs easier

Quoted Text Many people who have never had a colonoscopy really fear the exam itself. You are sedated for the exam so you really don't remember it. Which iis why people say the prep is the worse part of the whole process--it is really meant to ease people's fear about the colonoscopy itself. The prep involves drinking liquids or taking pills that cause lots of diarrhea which will clean out the colon.
Quoted from Andrea AWsec Takes about 6 weeks for the gut flora to be restored. So make some fermented food in advance, get the polyflora from DPN and make sure you have some good food after the test. Drink plenty of additional fluid with the prep.

What better time of year to highlight a website for youth than when they're heading back to school or seriously contemplating the work world!
Youth Skills, a project of Literacy Link South Central based in London, Ontario, is for young people aged 16 to 21 who are interested in exploring their learning needs and career goals. Taking an entertaining and interactive approach, the website offers useful exercises and resources that will help youth get on the right track to post-secondary education and/or meaningful employment.
Tamara Kaattari, executive director of Literacy Link South Central, says Youth Skills and its unique assessment tools were designed to appeal to the younger generation.
"We recognize that youth are a different group to engage in literacy," she said. "We wanted to meet them on their ground and create an attractive online presence that is both interesting and practical from their perspective. The website gives them the opportunity to think about their skills and the role their skills play in their everyday lives."
Highlights of the Youth Skills website include a Choose Your Life interactive book that depicts 12 possible life/work scenarios and YouTube videos on youth employment strategies, the pitfalls of dropping out of high school, and basic tips about job applications, resumés and cover letters.
To view Youth Skills go to http://www.youthskills.llsc.on.ca/.

Quoted from Sky Thank you for recipes guys.My girl and I have been discussing if you could use broccoli stalks (cauliflower?) and create a flat surfaces to bake in the oven.I'm just trying to figure out what you would use to coat the stalks to help bind them together. And if thin enough, could double layer the stalks, which would give the pizza surface more durability.
Quoted from Chloe I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you want to put the broccoli stalks raw on top of the pizza crust or are you trying to make a pizza crust using stalks of broccoli? I'm trying to geta visual of what you're trying to accomplish. Egg whites will bind foods together but is this supposed to look like a woven web of stalks? I do have a recipe for a cauliflower crust.http://ifoodreal.com/cauliflower-pizza-crust-recipe/
Quoted from Enobattar Rice Crust Pizza. So easy and delicious!3 cups cooked rice2 beaten eggs1/4 cup shredded acceptable cheese. (I use Pecorino Romano or Parmesan)Combine and press firmly into a 12" greased pizza pan. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 min.Add sauce and toppings and bake for 10 more min.Hope you give it a try.
Quoted from Chloe good one! thanks for sharing....you might want to add this to the recipe file....I'm sure many peoplewould find the ingredients compliant.
Quoted from Enobattar Just tried but I can't see it on the list. Don't know what I did wrong. If anyone else can find it, please let me know. Thanks.

This vehicle is virtually identical to our Four Seasons 535i, except it has xDrive all-wheel drive, the presence of which is quite difficult to detect in normal, dry-road driving. All things being equal, I'd probably prefer my 5-series to have all-wheel drive, but the truth is, I spent a very snowy weekend in our rear-wheel-drive 535i this winter, driving through six inches of fresh slushy white stuff in the Chicagoland area, and that car was unstoppable, because it was equipped with excellent snow tires. Adding xDrive to your 535i subtracts one mpg from both the city and highway fuel economy figures, making them 19/29 rather than 20/30 mpg; and it adds $2300 to the base price. The weight penalty is pretty marginal, though; the 535i xDrive weighs 4233 lb versus the rear-wheel-drive 535i's 4090 lb.
In any case, this 535i xDrive has the same beige and black interior and the same dark blue exterior paint as our Four Seasons car, so it both felt and looked very familiar. I'm always struck by how well the 8-speed transmission works in these BMWs. The gearbox just takes little sips of torque and swallows them up and moves on to the next gear with the smoothness of a singer taking an intake of breath before moving on to the next stanza. It's very seamless. The car has an impressive sense of solidity and roadholding. I can see that the steering might be considered by some to be a little uncommunicative but I find it to be just fine in day-to-day driving. The three-position seat heaters, which we don't have in our Four Seasons 535i, are very fast acting and very hot.
Joe DeMatio, Deputy Editor
BMW are masters at offering buyers a $50,000 mid-size luxury sedan and then tempting them with all sorts of extras so that, before they know it, $15,000 worth of options have been added. As with out Four Seasons 535i, this car is equipped with a host of high-dollar option packages that give you equipment such as a rear-view camera, heated seats, navigation, larger wheels, etc. I doubt that BMW actually sells any cars at their listed base prices.
Having said that, the 535i is a great place to spend time, whether it's a short commute to work or a long road trip. The seats are very comfortable and can be adjusted twelve ways to Sunday and the turbo I-6 is smooth as silk, its power transmitted seamlessly through the eight-speed automatic transmission. Plus, it greats pretty great fuel economy for a car in this class, coming close to the 30-mpg mark on the highway. Still, $67,000? I'm still having a hard time swallowing that.
Amy Skogstrom, Managing Editor

Summary: This popular casebook, through the selection of classic and modern cases, provides an excellent tool for teaching students the common law foundations of the criminal law and modern statutory reform, including the Model Penal Code. Along the way, the casebook considers modern controversies (e.g., ''shaming'' punishment, rape law, self-defense by battered women, euthanasia, the role of culture in determining culpability), and creatively uses literature (e.g., examining insanity through ...show more Edgar Allen Poe's The-Tell Tale Heart) and even ''brain teasers'' to confront (as the Preface states) ''the Big Questions . . . that philosophers, theologians, scientists, and poets, as well as lawyers, have grappled with for centuries.'' ...show less

Granted, many of the memorable headlines recently have painted a disturbing picture of Billings.
There are crimes, and it would seem that as Billings grows, crime trends do as well.
But in truth, that's only half the story. As the community grows, we continue to experience record amounts of good deeds and community support. It may just be that those headlines aren't as memorable because — well, Billings has always been a great place to live with great people.
Nowhere is there a better example of this than the Yellowstone County Relay for Life. In its 20th year, the annual event raised more than a half million dollars.
This year, Relay for Life also set a new record of number teams participating. As we continue to grow, we continue to grow in philanthropy, too.
This year a total of 1,500 people and 196 teams walked overnight on the track at West High.
Officials at the event estimate that between 4,000 and 5,000 people attended.
Also notable was the increase in the number of cancer survivors — an equally inspirational statistic. More cancer survivors hopefully mean more people are beating the deadly disease which touches nearly every single person's life.
Final numbers will not be available until after the event fundraising is complete on Aug. 31, but the initial numbers continue to show Billings gets out and supports this worthy cause as it has for years.
Yellowstone County Relay for Life continues to earn awards for its community participation and involvement. Many communities have Relay for Life events, although not as many have such a successful or large turnout. It's the third highest earning relay in the nation.
That is an honor that probably escapes folks around here because being generous and supporting a worthy cause is just a part of the Yellowstone and Billings area. But, let's pause on this achievement.
Per capita, virtually nowhere else has the success or the track record that we do. And there are few diseases that cut a wider swath than cancer.
We're proud that Billings and Yellowstone County is home to such a good, successful event. When we read about news happening, it's important that events like the Relay for Life are not overlooked. They tell as much of a story as any of the crime stories, or stories of dysfunction. In other words, here's something wonderful that's going right in our community.
We should be — and indeed we are — proud.
Every year, the American Cancer Society puts out it Cancer Facts and Figures report which summarizes the types of cancer and the efforts to fight them. Behind the American government, the American Cancer Society is the second largest funder of cancer research in the world.
In 2014, ACS estimates 5,850 new cases of cancer in Montana. That's more than the number of people living in some Montana towns, including Dillon, Hardin and Glendive.
Nationwide, the ACS estimates that there will be more than 1.6 million new cases of cancer reported. That's more than the entire population of Montana.
Those statistics are sobering. But as long as there are new cases, we bet the Yellowstone County Relay for Life will be there.
That's great news.

Around Azeroth: Target practice {WoW}
Sep 9th 2009 4:18PM I find your lack of ingame drinking disturbing...
Trading card mounts no longer BoP {WoW}
Jul 27th 2009 12:21AM I just checked the latest PTR, they are still BOP. They were Boe before but as the latest PTR build, they remain BOP.
Just a side story of my own, when I first found out that the spectral tigers became BOE, I instantly bought 8 tigers on my toon and did my last copy char to the PTR. I sold the first 3 tigers in less than 20 minutes for random price from 20 - 50k and gave the rest to my friends.
I decided to put the last spectral tiger on AH with a starting bid of 5k and promptly told trade that there is one on AH.
Constant whispers of "whats the code", "where did you get it?", "how much you selling it?" had made me set a macro to reply each questions. When the price grew to 28k in less than 1 hour, I started to get more whispers than before.
The next day, the price on spectral went up to 70k. Then 140k... A new whisper "LOL NO ONE IS GONNA BUY THAT! Take it off AH and I'll pay ya 20g!"
At the end, 1 spectral tiger got sold for 214 748g as the AH would not accept any more bids higher than set value.

Pets at Our Shelter:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
Stamford, CT is where we accept animals from - we are the town animal shelter. We adopt out mostly locally in Fairfield and Westchester Counties, but we do out of area adoptions as well with thorough checks.About Our Shelter:
In 2006, we became Connecticuts first Municipal Animal Control Shelter to add the word Care to our title. Our treatment and attitude toward our pets is top notch. While in shelter care, it is our intention to make each adoptable animals life count, to make his or her stay bearable and comfortable until a loving home is found.We have a no-kill philosophy which simply means, every adoptable animal is guaranteed a second chance. Dogs are given fair evaluations by a highly respected, professional dog trainer and behaviorist. With this ambitious approach, adoption becomes the most vital aspect for our success, therefore we value and are most appreciative of your support, through either adoption or referrals to friends and family.
In an effort to reduce the population of homeless animals, we promote spaying & neutering. Therefore it is the shelter policy that NO animal leaves our shelter unaltered.
We shelter a variety of animals, primarily dogs and cats but also rabbits, ferrets, little furries like hamsters & guinea pigs and on occasion, birds & reptiles.
You can find our featured pet of the week in the Sunday edition of The Stamford Advocate and the weekly Stamford Times newspapers.
We work to create a mutually beneficial environment for animals and the public at large. We provide rabies control, impound stray animals, investigate and prevent cruelty to animals, attend to sick or injured animals, and find homes for adoptable animals.

The Lie We Love | RH Reality Check
do need loving homes. But more often than not, the neediest children are sick, disabled, traumatized, or older than 5. They are not the healthy babies that, quite understandably, most Westerners hope to adopt. There are simply not enough healthy, adoptable infants to meet. Western demand—and there's too much Western money in search of children. As a result, many international adoption agencies work not to find homes for needy children but to find children for … …

World's First Full-11.n 4x4 MIMO Solution
The QHS600 is a fully integrated, single-chip solution with the performance and reliability to deliver up to four video streams, anywhere in the home, with full HD quality and 1080p resolution.
As the world's first Full-11n™ solution, the QHS600 device incorporates a significant selection of the IEEE 802.11n optional technical specifications including 4x4 Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), dynamic digital beamforming and channel monitoring and optimization. These Full-11n features ensure up to 25 dB performance improvement as compared to earlier WLAN solutions, while also enabling QHS600-based products to interoperate with existing Wi-Fi devices.
Five Times the Coverage
The QHS600 delivers five times the coverage of other 802.11n solutions, across multiple rooms and devices, eliminating problems with dead spots. It uses digital beamforming in the IEEE 802.11a/n 5 GHz frequency band to deliver up to 300 Mbps PHY/data link speeds, across up-to-200-foot distances, with optimal video quality thanks to near-zero packet error rates. It also minimizes system latencies for real-time applications such as online bidirectional video-game controllers, and can operate in point-to-multipoint mode to support more than 10 concurrent HD streams.
The QHS600 chipset reduces bill of materials (BOM) costs by integrating functionality that would otherwise require an additional front-end module (FEM), including four RF transceivers and associated power amplifiers (PAs) and low noise amplifiers (LNAs). The QHS600 also features an advanced MIMO baseband and media access controller (MAC), and provides tremendous processing capability using dual ARM CPUs and DSPs along with application-specific hardware acceleration.
The QHS600 device is supported by a Wireless Video Bridge Reference Design Kit (RDK) including an evaluation board plus cables for connecting it to an external controller through Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet or USB 2.0 ports. The Software Development Kit (SDK) implements all networking and device discovery/connectivity functionality for a wireless 802.11n video bridge module. The kit also includes a full test suite of specialized video-over-wireless radio frequency (RF) calibration and performance-characterization software, including an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI).

I noticed on the Antique Rose forum that many people live in climates that allow them to garden almost all year round. There are also many, who are worried about drought...and they have to maintain their gardens all the time. While it would be nice to spend time in the garden more often, I have to admit...I like that my garden 'goes to sleep' from late October until April. No matter how hot and dry the late summer gets (and it can be both) we know the fall rains and winter snow will give everything a fresh start for spring. One thing I've noticed...this time of year makes me appreciate all the evergreens we have on our property and I'm thinking about adding some more in the gardens, to give the place a bit more green. Maybe I'm being a bit whimsical, but they seem to watch out over the other plants, while they sleep :) So, right now I'm planning what I hope to do in the spring and looking forward to all the bulbs and even the dandelions blooming this spring. What about you? Does your garden grow all year round, or does it like to sleep in the winter? |

And a great big welcome to you Garden Peggy, so nice to finally 'meet' LL's mom. "Does your garden 'go to sleep' in the winter? You betcha, gives me time to reflect on what worked what didn't. Form my attack approach to the coming season, after the year I've had my garden needs a serious tuneup. Several shrubs that have grown out of proportion in the space they were given sooooo, hack, (prune hard for those that shudder at the term hack) to the ground, if they come back great, if not shrug, replace. I will be doing a lot of revamping in the spring, now, as long as these old bones hold up to what is whirling around in the ol noggin I'll be one happy camper :>). Annette |

Welcome garden_peggy!! Happy to read your garden post. This is generally a friendly group of gardeners with untold numbers of lurkers who enjoy the posts without ever commenting. Here in southern New England, my garden sleeps through the cold months but awakens once the Hellebores/Lenten roses begin to bloom in late winter. They're followed by bleeding heart, Virginia bluebells, brunnera, lady's mantle & a host of other early-season bloomers. Crocus, puschkinia & grape hyacinth have naturalized and each spring they colorize the winter-fatigued lawn. Dozens of daffodils + hyacinths add their smiling faces to welcome the longer hours of daylight. Every year my garden gives back to me what I've given it. |
The garden never really stops here. It's 48f out there today. It slows down but if you look at the 'Last picture of the year' thread you'll see that I still have some summer flowers hanging while at the same time the bulbs and first primroses are beginning to show. We also have winter bloomers like Winter Jasmine, Mahonia, Prunus subhirtella, etc which will flower in the depths of winter in milder spells. It has its drawbacks though. I really ought to be digging the allotment over as it is covered in weeds which keep growing through the winter. But it's far too wet out there. |
Welcome to the forum, Garden Peggy, I hope you'll enjoy our group! When you speak of evergreens for winter interest, LL, it brings to mind a post made years ago by an older gardener (like me), hope it isn't against the rules for me to copy: "TO MAKE GARDENING EASIER AS YOU AGE, PLANT A GARDEN TO LOOK GOOD IN THE WINTER, Truthfully, all of the above statements are a reality for most older gardeners. Our bones do hurt us. Our bodies do slow down. We can not do what we did 30 years ago. So what are we to do? If gardening makes you happy and you do not wish to give it up, Plan for your older gardening days. How do you plan for your older gardening days? You do this by planning and planting a garden that looks beautiful in the Winter. These two can go hand in hand. This article is mainly written for gardeners in the Northeast U.S., zones 5-6-7-8. My garden is dormant, about the only thing green are my rose bushes and oak trees. But, come March, and here we go again! |
Another welcome to you Garden Peggy! My garden is buried under snow for usually about 3 or 4 months and is dormant for about 5 months. So I do plant for interest both when it is dormant, but also when there are 3 or 4 feet of snow on the ground. There is a bed of mostly perennials and roses in front of part of this row of hemlocks. In summer the trees just provide a dark backdrop, but in winter when the beds disappear, the trees are the stars.
This bed, planted to block a work area from the main entry drive, is a riot of perennials in the summer, but has interest before snow falls during those cold but usually snowless months of November and December
But also when there is snow on the ground.
I use the winter time to get into the woods on skis or snowshoes without any bugs, to research plants for the next gardening season, and to spend time on non-gardening pursuits that I really ought to have done during the growing season. |

nhbabs - ooooh what a lovely winter view. I love your evergreens - blue spruce, arborvitae, Norway spruce? and others. They give a focal point in the often barren winter landscape. lavender lass - my garden sleeps from Nov through March, usually under a blanket of snow, so I can't go out in the dirt even if I wanted to. When it melts, its goopy wet. I like having a "vacation" from my garden, so I can do other things. Like take care of my house, which gets neglected all during the growing season. The garden is always a priority, so I need some time off to catch up on other things. I used to live in CA and have a year round garden. I prefer the winter and the break it provides. |

Ditto gottagarden's last paragraph. Even tho I do enjoy my garden and all the work, I look forward to and need the break. |
Welcome to the forum Peggy and I guess you know we love pictures and would like to see your garden! I like that my garden goes to sleep in the winter from November til March when it is covered with snow. What I like the best is that the cold means we have fewer noxious bugs survive so don't have the problems with insects during the growing season that gardeners in the south do. I also like having a break from the hard work of gardening as there are other things I like to do that I don't have time for during the summer. |
Gottagarden - The main conifers in the bed are Picea pungens/ blue spruce 'Fat Albert', Thuja occidentalis/arborvitae 'Techny', and 'Sunkist', (and a T. occidentalis 'Rheingold' that is still too small to have much effect.) There are also several different rhododendrons and a hardy clumping bamboo which stays green. This is about the only bed I've planned out. It needed to provide interest year round and I wanted the evergreens and trees to stay betweeen 6' and 15' for many years to distract from DH's wood stash behind it while not shading out the solar panels further back. Eventually I'll need to remove at least some of the 'Fat Alberts.' The perennials are mostly around the edges with clematis growing on the shrubs, so there is a lot of color and a whole different feel in the summer. |
This year I have Fuchsias still hanging on while the first flowers of 2014 are just starting. Definitely no going to sleep this year - just dozing lightly. Iris unguicularis opened 2 days ago. |
Thanks for the photo, floral_UK. So nice to see a currently blooming flower. As much as I love the winter break from gardening, I do miss seeing growing things. I hope that you are OK with not having a break. |
I'm fine with not having a complete break. Except the slugs don't take a break either when we have a mild spell. The Iris in the picture is no more - it was eaten in the night ;-( I think our whole gardening year is different. Although we keep doing a bit all winter the summer is less frenetic than most of yours I believe. There is a long spring, a comparatively cool summer and a long autumn so the windows for seed sowing, cultivation and garden tidying are much longer and more relaxed. The contrast between too cold to sow and too hot to grow is less marked. |

My garden "sleeps" from October through April. Things begin to warm up in May and I can't plant until June with the threat of late freeze. And I'm happy to have the break in gardening. My housework also suffers in the summer and I need the time to sew and do handy work, to cook and bake, to can and preserve. I wouldn't feel well rounded without the other things that are part of my life if all I could do was garden. nhbabs, your garden in winter is beautiful. I keep attempting something similar but we've had too much serious drought the past couple of years and my trees keep dying. One of these years mother nature and I will be in sink as they say and we'll get it done and off to a good start. |

Who is he?
- Moon
- Production year: 2009
- Country: UK
- Cert (UK): 15
- Runtime: 97 mins
- Directors: Duncan Jones
- Cast: Benedict Wong, Dominique McElligott, Kevin Spacey, Matt Berry, Sam Rockwell
A young British director who was talk of the town at Sundance when his indie sci-fi feature, Moon, premiered earlier this year. It's out here on 17 July.
Indie and sci-fi. Now there's two words you don't often see together.
Quite. And we're not talking tinfoil flying saucers, either. Jones has created an amazingly assured lunar world - claustrophobic and asylum-white - with Sam Rockwell as a lone engineer at the end of three-year stint in space. With only a creepy computer for company (a kind of proto-Hal, voiced by Kevin Spacey), he begins to lose it.
What else has Jones done?
A bunch of adverts and a short film. Followers of kookily named celebrity offspring might know him as Zowie Bowie, son of David.
So, Ziggy Stardust, Space Oddity - does he share his father's view of all things cosmic?
No: Moon is a million miles from spangled Ziggy spacesuits. It wears its sci-fi geekness loud and proud (Jones wrote his PhD thesis on artificial intelligence).
What next?
Another sci-fi, he says, which will be bigger and more commercial - a thriller set in future Berlin. "If Moon is my homage to Silent Running and Outland, then the next one is my homage to Blade Runner," Jones announced.

Gear Review
Keep in mind that I didn't take these out on the mountain. I tested them under very simplistic conditions: I punched myself in the thigh and the ass, both with and without the impact shorts. Noticeable difference, but definitely not $55 worth. The padding is comprised entirely of gel, with no hard cap on the exterior. They are very low-profile, but how much does that really mean if they're functionally useless?
