Saving the Bog Bilberry
Many people will know about the high planting camps at Carrifran that have taken place each year since 2007. These challenging weekend camps, at an altitude of 650 metres in the Moffat Hills, are led by our ex-Project Officer and Mountain Leader Hugh Chalmers.
The camp site is in the dramatic hanging valley of Firth Hope, just below the summit of White Coomb, a Corbett (821 m) and the fourth highest peak in the South of Scotland.
During this series of camps our volunteers have already planted over 14,000 shrubs and trees in a unique initiative that will establish one of Scotland's outstanding examples of restored treeline woodland, a significant habitat that has been almost lost from our mountains.
This year we plan two camps in midsummer, focusing on peatland restoration with this work being generously supported by the Scottish Natural Heritage Peat Action Grant.
The first camp will be on the weekend of Saturday 7th to Sunday 8th June. The second will be Saturday 19th to Sunday 20th July.
If you can rise to a challenge and would enjoy the hard work, wonderful scenery and good company that we can offer, please refer to the high planting camp flyer then email Hugh for further information. In case of difficulty phone Borders Forest Trust on 01835 830750 or by email.

Imaginary Shopping Spree: All We Want For Christmas
I'm like the girl who always asks for a pony for every birthday and Christmas. But instead of ponies (which I do love and which I want one day when I "retire") -- I really, really want a trip to Antarctica! This is one of those things that I can't explain rationally. I know it's the coldest, harshest, windiest continent in the world, but something about the whole endeavor appeals to the crazy insane adventurer/explorer in me. No one I know has ever been there; no one I know probably ever will, except maybe my future husband. (In fact, maybe I'll know he's my future husband because he's dying to go to Antarctica like me! I don't think I've ever dated a dude that's wanted to go to Antarctica. New dealmaker?) I always felt that there was a hollow part of my memory that is waiting to be filled by Antarctica and all those amazing images of ice, sunlight, snow, expanse and penguins that's there to see. Some hearts want babies and some hearts want cottages in England, and some hearts want Paris and some want diamonds. My weird little ticker wants to see as much of the world as possible, and that includes the strangest, most beautifully desolate place in the planet. (Kat)
More specifically, the dude to the left. He's more exuberant, and exuberance is my bag. I think maybe I've known my whole life that "The Babe Version of the Dude to the Left in the 'Freedom Rock' Ad" is my fashion-concept destiny, but I was never able to articulate it till just this past Saturday - walking down the street in the sunshiney December afternoon; eating a Medieval Madness ice cream cone from Rite Aid; wearing blue jeans and a cutely/sluttily threadbare zillion-year-old t-shirt, braided pigtails and braided-satin silver headband (warrior-princess style, across my forehead), red lipstick, red plaid flannel, zebra-striped ballet flats; listening to Ted Nugent and then Deep Purple and then Foghat and then Ted Nugent again. "I'm like the dude from the 'Freedom Rock' ad, but like the babe version," I said to myself, and finally felt complete as a human. "Today is the first day of the rest of your life," replied Ted Nugent, even though I wasn't talking to him. Dirtbag.
So now I want Madley's gold lion necklace, a vintage Deep Purple shirt, a coat that's lots like this one from Mama Stone but faux fur instead, and some Lipstick Queen Medieval Lipstick (which has nothing to do with Freedom Rock but everything to do with Mary Timony, whose abundance of yin beautifully balances all that trashed-out yang and also provides psychic protection against everything evil about Ted Nugent).
I also want the actual "Freedom Rock" compilation, by the way. And a surfboard, and a winter wetsuit, and a house by the beach! Don't forget: just one week till my birthday! (Liz)
Back when nogoodforme.com was a Spirit Animals blog, I used to claim that my spirit animal was a "scrappy, runty adolescent black kitten-cat named Knickerbocker who lives in a pumpkin," which is absurd. You shouldn't be allowed to modify your spirit animal with ten billion adjectives, a cutesy moniker, and a whimsical habitat. Also, you shouldn't have Peter Pan Syndrome. One of the neatest things that happened to me in 2009 is that I stopped having Peter Pan Syndrome. I grew up; inevitably, so did my spirit animal, who is now a regular old adjective-free black cat. Maybe my spirit animal was the runt of the litter once, but you can't really see it on her anymore. Runtiness is now irrelevant.
The other day, I wanted to make time pass faster at work, so I asked my co-workers what their spirit animals were*. What a great way to get to know others! And yourself! I told them I was a black cat, and the whole gang was all, "Oh. Yeah. Obviously," and it made me feel so good about myself!!! I'm a black cat! This sentence is me resisting the urge to type out a long string of adjectives describing what black cats, and I, are/am like. I'm sure you can figure out the symbolism of a black cat on your own.
Now that I am grown, I want to take care of things, though not really babies, or even a dog. I want to take care of a black cat. Money CAN buy u love, Myutes. If you buy yourself a pet! I want a black cat for Christmas- a female black cat. I will name her Lucifer Jane, but call her Lucy for short; that way, she is named after two Syd Barrett songs**, not to mention one Beatles song***, and a Peanut****. I will project my most pronounced personality traits onto Lucy-fer, who I will also call LJ. Lucifer will be all, "I'm a great writer! I have a crush on Ray Davies! I'm the John Lennon of Cats!" and I'll be like, "God, Lucy, you are so self-aggrandizing!" and Lucy will be all, "I'm not self-aggrandizing, I'm self-celebratory, BITCH," and I'll say, "Lucy, you are a feline after my own heart," and then I'll give her some catnip to munch on while I empty out her litter box.
PS: But what I actually want for Christmas is a piece of paper reading "I.O.U a black cat in mid-August," cuz what's the point of owning your own spirit animal if she doesn't have your same zodiac sign? (Laura Jane)
* Later, I decided which one of Santa's reindeer we would all be. I'm Blitzen, cuz I'm blitzin'!
** "Lucifer Sam" and "Lucy Leave"
*** "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"
**** Lucy van Pelt

ot, but Kat, what if any Rodarte for Target pieces did you get in the end? that mustard yellow cami looks smashing on you! and could you please comment on the cardigan fabric - i'm looking to buy the black and the nude version on ebay but feel wary, the fabric seems so flimsy and cobweb like
dee, i got the rodarte blush pink slip dress, mostly 'cause it's so pretty, and i did get that mustard yellow cami! as far as the cardigan fabric, do you mean the mesh lace ones? those are actually really beautiful on the hanger, but i have to say, i could already see snags and such on them from being handled in the store. i wouldn't pay more than what it retailed, honestly, but they are super-cute! if you mean the cardie sweaters, those were nice and thick and substantial!
thanks, i was in fact thinking of the lace mesh ones but after seeing the shameless prices on ebay (i'm one continent away from the closest Target shop) i think i'll pass. rock that gorgeous cami now!
How i wish this imaginary shopping spree could come true!!! A long list of 'wants' is definitely on my mind!!!!
I've actually been yearning to go to the Arctic, but only because its closer than Antarctica. Its not a big difference, just trade polar bears for penguins. There are actually mountains in Antarctica too I guess. So perhaps its better.
How about Mongolia and Iceland? They are also on my list (though I don't know if I'll ever make it)

A wonderful enameled watch pendant from the Art Deco (ca1920) era! This beautiful combination piece has a very "Deco" six-sided geometric shape, and is made of sterling silver with a rich black enamel surface. One side displays a round watch face in the center, which reads "MERSMAN". The opposing side of the piece serves as an attractive pendant, with a feminine sterling design at the top adorned with sparkling marcasites. At the bottom of the pendant is a watch winder set with a deep blue cabochon sapphire. The piece hangs from a simple sterling bail, allowing it to be easily hung and worn on a chain. Perfect for the lover of Art Deco jewelry or old timepieces, this versatile watch pendant would make a lovely addition to any collection!
Measurements: The piece hangs approximately 1 5/8" long, is 1" at the widest point, and slightly more than 1/4" at its thickest point.
Condition: The overall condition of the piece is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the silver setting or enamel, and the sapphire cabochon and all marcasite stones are intact. The winder and watch crystal are both intact, and the watch appears to be keeping good time. The bail is secure and in good condition.
**Paired with Item #36621 Victorian Gunmetal, Rock Quartz & Onyx Chain 54"

Breakfast Topic: What does that mean? {WoW}
Sep 8th 2007 10:42AM You can check http://www.urbandictionary.com for most of the abbreviations and slang words.
Healing is for the women {WoW}
Sep 29th 2006 7:53AM My first avatar was a female human mage. I leveled her to 27, if I remember well. The leveling was SO slow, because of me being a total noob at that time :) (she didn't even join any battleground). Then because my boyfriend started to play too I rolled a female night-elf rogue to play with him. I enjoyed playing with th rogue, started to care more about the items... My boyfriend had a hunter, night-elf too. He didn't like PVP, I did. Well, he didn't like many things I
do, and we had a short break at some point. I continued to play the rogue during the break and I leveled her to around 33... He didn't play the hunter during that time. When we made up, the difference of levels was too big, so we decided to make other avatars, on a PVP server this time (my idea). The plan was to play with these new avatars when I get bored of helping him level up. We rolled horde this time (I wanted this mostly because of the fact that, on the other server the horde always pwned us in battleground because of their team spirit) but I was not sure what class and race to choose. I was hesitating between warrior, priest... and warlock maybe. He was not sure either, but warrior was on his list too. He finally decided to go warrior, so I chose (or left with) the priest. Deciding the race was my call now. Obviously, after a short documentation (I
love search engines) I rolled undead.
:) I just loved playing with the priest from the first moments. My boyfriend stopped playing shortly after, then we broke up for good (no connection between these
two), so I leveled right from the lowest levels a holy priest all by myself :). I really enjoyed the leveling, which was very fast considering the talent build I chose and the fact that I pvp-ed a lot. It was a rather strange period of my life :) I had the graduation exams to take, the SCJP exam (I took them both with high
grades), I got promoted at work, I was after a brake up and rather instable emotionally and I still was always able to make time almost daily to play the priest and level her to 60. All these in like... three months. She never had problems with gold (no, I didn't use e-bay), she had both her mounts bought in the day she turned 40 and 60 and she always had expensive enchants. Because of things like these I got rather many whispers during the leveling asking if this char is my alt, some kind of twink :). She wasn't.
She played Strat, Scholo and both BRSs almost guildless (she was from mid 20s level in a small guild that disbanded shortly after she dinged 60). She is in a new but good guild now, that had MC as farming instance after like one month from the moment it was created.
But I stopped playing with her for like 3-4 weeks now. I am not sure why... maybe because of the fact that I don't like some of the guild members that much, but I like the others so I can't leave the guild. Or the fact that I MUST play the hours other people decide to raid and as long as they decide. Or the fact that it is not that fun anymore, that whiping costs more (and I am
not talking only about the cost in gold)... that it has turned into a serious thing. I tried to play the female mage after I stopped playing the priest (it was not a decision to stop, I simply didn't feel that logging her in game would bring me any joy), she is 30 now but... green gear and... Then I've started to level an alt I kept as bank on the first server (female night-elf
druid) to play with one of my colleague from work (there are 5 colleagues now that started playing because of me talking so much about the game). But I guess I won't play much with him, he has just started to play and... well, he is just so slow. I think I
will wait for the BC to be released, and make another avatar then. I am sure it will be a blood elf. Probably a she. Class... so far, unknown.(healer again maybe? :))
Well, all that amount of text above could have been summarized in "Yes, I am a girl and I play
a healer class" , but women are known as being able to complicate even the simpler things, don't they? :P

I have played Lineage before Wow and it was hard to switch from my fairy looking-like mage there to anything else than human here. She is level 27 now, and I still take her out to a walk from time to time, when I begin to miss the mage play style (my main is a night elf rogue).
Breakfast Topic: Would you trade? {WoW}
Mar 23rd 2006 6:41AM I have started playing not long ago and I must admit that I selected the Alliance just because the characters look prettier. And recently I have entered in BG too. I find hard to believe that we are almost always (lets say around 8 in 10 times) loosing just because I am part of the team (well, I am not an experienced player yet :D). It is just an assumption, but I think that experienced players choose Horde side.

Clay and natural stone floors are sometimes thought of as being in the same floor-covering category. This is an easy assumption to make: both categories have classifications that are solid, very hard and durable; they are sold in tiles, pavers and other geometrical shapes; and they possess similar maintenance procedures. If they have all these common characteristics, why should they be in different categories?
Clay Floor Coverings
Clay floor coverings are manufactured using an earthy material that is flexible when moist and becomes very hard when fired in kilns at extremely high temperatures. They are composed mainly of fine particles of silicates and other minerals, and are used for the manufacture of ceramic, porcelain, quarry, brick and terra cotta. Most clay-type floor coverings are extremely durable and can withstand heat and harsh chemicals.
Various clays and minerals are mixed together to produce the clay body, or bisque. The density determines the strength of the bisque. The density is ascertained by examining the number of air pockets found in the bisque. The strongest bisques, those suited for heavy commercial environments, have the smallest and least number of air pockets.
The density also identifies the level of water the tile can absorb (Chart 1) and if the tile is suitable for use outdoors.
Stone Floor Coverings
Stone floor coverings are created naturally by forces of nature and are geologically classified as igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary rocks.
Igneous rocks are rocks formed by the hardening and crystallization of molten material that originates deep within the earth.
Sedimentary rocks form from sediments of plant and animal remains, as well as fragments of older rocks that are compressed into a hard mass by pressure.
Metamorphic rocks form when heat and pressure increase as the rock moves through its natural cycle. Metamorphism is what causes the calcite in limestone to re-crystallize into marble, the grains in quartz-rich sandstone to grow together to form quartzite, and sedimentary shale to harden and form slate.
Stone floor coverings are quarried from geological deposits. Large slabs are cut and extracted, from which smaller tiles are then cut. They in turn are shipped to the location for installation. True, there are terrazzo and agglomerate floor coverings that are poured on-site or manufactured, but the primary component of these floor coverings is a minimum of 70 percent natural stone chips (generally marble or granite) in a cement or resin binder. Because the majority of these floors' composition is natural stone, they are classified in the natural stone category of floor coverings. Terrazzo and agglomerates are commonly found in high-traffic areas such as transportation and school environments.
The natural stone category of floor coverings is probably the most extensive of all categories, having 10 major classifications (granite, quartzite, serpentine, marble, limestone, travertine, slate, sandstone, terrazzo and agglomerate). There are literally thousands of different variations within these classifications. The natural beauty of the stone floor produces an air of elegance, one reason why they are generally found in lobbies and entryways, as well as other formal areas.
Given that these two categories are completely different in composition and makeup, they do have one thing in common: grout.
Grout is a thin mortar used to fill the empty spaces between the tiles. These spaces vary; they can be less than 1/8 inch or as much as 1 inch. Because grout maintenance is an important part of floor care, it is important to understand the different classifications.
Sanded grout is the most common type of grout for applications of spaces wider than 1/8 inch. Primarily composed of Portland cement, sand and water, it's very porous and absorbent. Because of this, seals are required for the best results.
Non-sanded grout is used when the spaces are less than 1/8 inch. This type of grout is commonly called "wall grout." This is particularly true of natural stone tiles because of their susceptibility to scratching by the sand crystals. Very seldom is non-sanded grout used on floor tiles.
Epoxy grouts are waterless two-part systems consisting of epoxy resins and a catalyst or hardener. The two parts are mixed on-site prior to use. These grouts are smooth in appearance and are very resistant to stains and mildew.
There are many types of latex additives that are mixed with both sanded and non-sanded grout. These additives help reduce or prevent water absorption into the grout. Sometimes latex additives are added as powders at the factory.
Maintenance of Grout
The properties of grout impact floor maintenance regardless of whether the floor covering is stone or clay. Because grout lines are generally, but not always, lower than the tiles and water seeks the path of least resistance, soils from daily traffic and cleaning find their way to the grout. This is compounded when sanded grout is used because of the natural porosity characteristics of the material.
Sanded grout is porous. As soil collects in these pores the grout lines turn dark. Even when sanded grout is sealed or when using latex additives, the same situation can occur; it will just be a little easier to clean. When floor sealants or finishes are used it can really complicate the condition. When the floor is stripped and refinished, the stripping solution will carry the emulsified seal/finish deep into the pores, making it difficult to remove.
Initial Maintenance
Initial maintenance can be easy if the proper care has been taken during the installation process. Wiping up excess residue with a sponge and fresh water or cleaning solution during the installation removes it before it dries. If this process is not done or done poorly, the results can be extremely difficult for the floor maintenance technician who comes in later to perform the initial maintenance. This is especially true of latex additives. These can be extremely difficult to remove, particularly when on a textured surface.
Generally, installation jobs are done very professionally and, in most situations, the installation company will either use additives in the grout or seal the grout with penetrating or impregnating sealants after installation.
The initial maintenance for this scenario is a medium-to-heavy scrub and rinse in conjunction with neutral cleaner, or all-purpose cleaner and an appropriate pad or brush.
If the grout has not been sealed, the technician may have to apply it. There are many brands to choose from and they can be solvent or aqueous; consult the local stone and ceramic tile supplier for the best solution for your application.
Daily/Routine Maintenance
The daily/routine maintenance will be predicated by the environmental conditions the stone or clay floors are exposed to. Generally, stone floors occupy lobbies and halls and therefore can be swept and mopped with neutral cleaner or specialized cleaners on a regular basis. Clay-type floors are also used in these areas and are treated the same.
Clay floor coverings are also found in more function areas, such as restrooms and kitchens. When these conditions occur, the daily/routine maintenance will be pretty much the same with the exception of the cleaning chemicals used, e.g. degreasers in the kitchen and sanitizers in the restrooms.
Remember, water seeks the path of least resistance and will deposit soil at the lowest point, the grout. When mopping tile floors, stone or clay, it is important to remove as much cleaning solution as possible from the surface of the grout. This can be achieved by following the mopping process with a damp mop. Damp mopping requires wringing out as much solution or water out of the mop head as possible. The mop fiber will then absorb more liquid from the low-lying areas.
Over time the grout will become soiled. Periodic maintenance should be scheduled to keep this condition in check. The common service procedure will be the scrub and rinse. The soiling condition will dictate the aggressiveness of the scrub, while the environment and traffic conditions will dictate the frequency. Keeping the soil in the grout at a low level extends the time between salvage/restorative maintenance procedures.
Machine scrubbing with a cleaning solution and abrasive pads or brushes will loosen the soil and bring it to the surface for removal. The scrubbing machine can be rotary or cylindrical. Brushes tend to work better than pads because of the irregularity of the grout surface.
Extract the contaminated solution using a wet vacuum with floor squeegee or wand attachment, then rinse the floor with clean water. In heavily soiled environments like kitchens and restrooms it may be necessary to apply an ample amount of clean water to the floor and extract it with the wet vacuum before the final rinse.
Salvage/Restorative Maintenance
When salvage restorative maintenance is in order, the service becomes more complex because you will be incorporating grout cleaning with floor cleaning. Diamond abrasives may be used on the stone floor coverings and harsh chemicals - alkaline or acidic - may be used on the clay floors in tandem with abrasive pads. Regardless of the service procedure used on the floor covering, it is the perfect opportunity to clean up the grout.
When soil becomes too deeply embedded in the grout, something has to be done to remove it. Concentrated alkaline and acidic cleaners can be used to remove the bulk of the soil, but there will always be some residual soil. As you will not be able to remove it, it may become necessary to remove a minute portion of the surface of the grout to a point just below the soil. This can be accomplished with the help of a grout saw. The grout saw is designed to abrade away a bit of the grout to expose fresh grout below. Be careful when using this tool as you can sometimes go too far and expose the spacers below.
Once the grout has been totally cleaned, thoroughly rinsed and completely dried, penetrating or impregnating seals can be re-applied. In the case of stone floors, powder polishing or crystallization procedures may be performed to enhance the appearance.
Although clay and stone floors are technically in different floor covering categories, they do have grout in common. The floor maintenance program developed for grout needs to take into consideration factors such as soil, environment and traffic conditions, in addition to the program developed for the stone or clay floor covering. Knowing this in advance can help save hours of labor in the field.

Hi. I've had traditional cheese-stuffed jalapenos that are coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried for dipping in marina sauce, but I've never had any jalapenos that are stuffed and baked! Does anyone have a really good version of baked stuffed jalapenos that would be perfect as finger-food for a party? I'm also searching the net for a really good savory mini-app that is naturally gluten-free and can be made in mini-muffin pans.... but I'm looking for one that's not mostly egg-based. Any ideas? actually, even non-GF ideas are welcome because I may find that they look easy enough to convert to GF without losing too much in texture and taste. Thanks! |

This is a recipe I make often. It is good served at room temp if they last that long. I double the recipe, and omit the salsa. This was originally posted by Trudymon - 6-7 years ago If you Google Crescent Poppers, you get alot of variations. Crescent Poppers 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. |
My DIl made the most delicious savory appy for us at Thanksgiving. Sorry, no real recipe but they are easy enough to do. Line mini muffin tins sprayed with Pam with thinly sliced prosciutto and bake until crisp . Once cool fill the prosciutto "cups" with a mixture of finely chopped pear and bleu cheese. Another filling I used was a bit of applesauce with finely chopped apples and grated sharp cheddar. The combo of the salty, sweet, tart and the soft and crunchy textures is oh so good. |
I tried t post this earlier, but the gremlins were about and my post would not go through. Anyway there are lots of great suggestions (many GF) on this link! Alexa |

Teresa, the bacon wrapped jalapeno thingies will be perfect! so simple! I'll definitely make them. Magothyrivergirl, unfortunately the crescent poppers would be impossible to convert to gluten-free without totally losing the texture. :p Chase, the prosciutto cups with pear & bleu cheese sound fantastic! Definitely on my list to make! Alexa, I had posting problems earlier too. Thanks for the link -- I'm off to study the list! Thanks everyone! |
They are really, really good party...but I forgot to mention the chopped pears should be doused with lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown. |

chase, thanks! I'm sure I would have wanted to do that instinctively so it's good to have it confirmed. :) bob_cville, I did think of stuffed mushrooms tonight but don't have a recipe that I've really liked and have never seen one without breadcrumbs. Thank you! |

Life was so much easier when my mind still worked...(compliments of my husband)
Hi ladies,
I am with the cat!
Had a marvelous Sunday and I smelled delightful LOL Buddy and I had a great game, got caught up on my boards and some of my mail...however, didn't get to work on the Christmas presents. Gonna have to get off my butt as it's not that far away. We did our Sunday CharmedGate and of course had pasta and ice cream....a wonderful end to the day.
Monday we had some more pasta dinners to cook up and did so and then I realized I had to cook up the chicken I took out so my forte into the bedroom I thought I'd get done on Monday was nixed. At least while the water was coming to a boil I got the hall closet re-vacuumed with the big vacuum. Plus Chuck finally had me toss those sandals we has had in there and NOT worn for 2 years GRRRRR.
While the chicken was cooking got end of month budget done for September, just need some other numbers from hubby before I can total it out and put it in the file for it. Then closed out the business sheet which with only 1 $10 order didn't take long...we are taking a long hard look and will have to make a decision.
Also got some emails answered too, have just one more to do and will be all done. Chuck called the office while I watched the pasta this a.m. to have them come over for the metal plate behind the air filter so they can clean it out.
While they are here I will show them the wash area and see what they say about the stuff in the vent above. Chuck says it's insulation but it looks like the lint that is all over the inside of the lint screen and sides of the machine I had to clean. Plus next week I will call to have them move the machine and clean behind it and the hose that is connected too. They usually have to do it once or twice a year.
Worked on our slides shows a bit to put pics Chuck fixed in but ran into a snag and so will have to start again. Just might delete the ones there and just put these in, might be easier...we shall see.
Watched Highlander and Buffy Monday night as it was Chuck's night and had our last piece of lemon cake, was a bit dry though so the final piece (we got our 10 slices out of it) will go to the garbage can! I will make up another on Thursday!
My arm was killing me where I got the flu shot when I woke up on Tuesday...but then again Buddy woke me up kicking me in the ribs...guess he was having one of those dreams LOL So wondering if he hit my arm too or maybe just the workouts I did on Monday...we shall see.
I somehow really messed up my right hand over the weekend as it's killing me...stiff, achy and it hurts. Chuck says it probably arthritis...I have that in my back already so maybe it is. After my Tuesday dusting and vacuuming....hubby worked on tax numbers and stuff I got my walls done in the bedroom Tuesday morning, along with the doors and jams, closet wipe off outside and so was ready for the evening to start on the vinegaring of the furniture. Hoping to get hubby's chest of drawers done and the pictures cleaned.
I was doing my Yippity Skippity dance Tuesday after mail came as I got a FREE coupon in from Gorton's....can't wait to go to Winco as I am going to try the Skillet Crisp Tilapia! My Tuesday night TV fare was so not hard to guess that Hunter is on the schedule and I had decided on Miami Vice and hubby mentioned Nikita and so then went back and forth but stuck with my original decision of Miami Vice.
Almost had a disaster when I did Buddy's Woof Woof after lunch ritual as I open the front door and he looks out and smells the mat (people walk on it ya know LOL) and I do hold him by the collar but when I opened the door a squirrel was crossing our walkway mid-way up and Buddy like all dogs think "squirrel" LOL...well Mr. Squirrel took off like a bandit LOL
Well I didn't get Chuck's chest of drawer and the pictures done Tuesday night as I was exhausted so just sat and read my book instead.
Wednesday we shredded the chicken and cooked up our HH Mexican Cheesy Enchilada Rice and Cheesy sauce mix and got our 8 meals out of it. However, with the damp cool weather we are supposed to be having and were having on Wednesday, thinking of soup for Thursday instead of an enchilada.
Then I headed to the bedroom to get the chest of drawers and pics done. Got that done and came in to get the recipes we saw on Cook's Country the night before and to Amazon for the items recommended and they are on our wish list...some day we will actually buy something on it LOL.
Cleared out mail and we were off to lunch, unloaded the dishwasher, got caught up on line and went and worked on CC trip slideshows.
Did the 3 C's and did a bit of work on my Christmas presents. We got in both disks of Leverage and washed the first couple episodes...had our yummy pasta for dinner and a nice 2 scoop night of Pistachio almond and Candy Cane.
Got my dusting done after dinner Wednesday night and after nap or when Buddy got down off the bed to go to the bathroom with Chuck before bedtime, he hurt his foot, Wednesday night, so needless to say we were both worried for him and didn't have the best night's sleep. He is eating and doing everything else fine and he did pull it once before so we are keeping him as quiet as we can but please prayers for our Buddy Max. He had been licking it the night before with the crummy dirt here and him getting those things that look like pimples but aren't'. He's a baby and we worry about him so prayers please for a quick recovery. We know he hurts as he didn't even do his 'woofing'....during our woof woof thingy we do after lunch each day.
Got my vacuuming done on Thursday morning and just in time too, as Martine (the worker here), showed up just as I turned the vacuum off and put it in the bathroom LOL. So Chuck took Buddy with him while he shaved and Martine cleaned the heating/air conditioner unit. I got a bag and paper towel for the clean up and then sacrificed one of my rags for him to clean the unit itself. Way too icky to even put in my machine with the other rags. Chuck was furious as he said why didn't he have a rag. He's right, next time I will tell him.
Then I got all the furniture done in the bedroom Thursday, along with all the "stuff" as my man Carlin would say....loved him) on top of the dresser, end tables, etc. So I was beat by the end of the day and with all the dust my allergies went crazy so had to take an allergy pill so no workout that night, but with all I did yesterday I got in a good one.
The weather has been gorgeous in the low 70s so soup tonight will be good. Had the Campbell's Chunky Bake Potato with Cheddar and Bacon Bits I bought for 68 cents at Winco We are running low on bread so that will be it. Usually don't have the whole can but with no bread to have will do so.
We didn't want to make up a cake just for Thursday and not have any again till Monday....so we had a scoop of ice cream and I opened up my Hot Chocolate. Watched some more Leverage episodes on Thursday and we finished it off on Friday night.
Did get to think of my grandma (my dad's mom) on Thursday as it was her birthday...October 10, 1910 she was born.
We were a bit lazy on Friday morning so got a late start and Chuck even put he heat on as it was cold....we went into the 40s. Did notice as I was putting my sneakers on that they are cracking in the sole...can't complain have had them 4 years already and wear them a lot..they are my indoor sneakers so wear them all winter and plus for certain workouts, so year round. Unfortunately WM is out of stock on line but since I don't have the money now hoping by the time we do I can get them on line.
I got the bedroom finished...washed the blinds, window, screen and the cabinet outside, plus the light. We have to go through the cabinet and toss the stuff in it plus the cabinet but will have to ask the guys to do it. I did ask Martine if he wanted to make some extra money and do it one weekend. While I had the bucket of vinegar I also redid the front sliding glass too. So both are nice and shiny and were dust FREE...I went ballistic after lunch as they came and blew all the garbage outside the fence (leaves, twigs, etc from the trees) into our backyard and my pristine patio in the back was filled with leaves, dirt, twigs, etc I got on the phone and the air was blue as I didn't pull any punches and told Maria we are tired of it. We have to spend our time sweeping it back out again. They are supposed to rake the area first and then blow those stupid **** **** machines. If it were me they would be BANNED FROM EXISTENCE.
While I did the vacuuming of the bedroom, skipped under the bed as we will be pulling the stuff out shortly (me to put my winter clothes out and Chuck to try on the stuff in his and keeping what fits and donating the rest) so after we are done with that I will vacuum under there. I did pull the Betamax machine. YES you did read that right....we still had our BetaMax but we moved over what we wanted and some of the stuff is just not that great so will buy from Amazon when they are on sale and for many of the very OLD movies we have they have packages now dirt cheap on Amazon. But man was that sucker heavy. I brought it to the front door and gingerly as it was dusty on top and put it outside. I told Chuck as I knew I wouldn't be able to lift it over my head to put it in the garbage. So he did it, but his back is stiffer today again and even he said that 25 pounds was heavy!
After lunch I did the mats we have outside the sliding glass doors...got them in Sacto from my friend Vicki but soon will have to replace them as they are not looking the best. Hey they lasted a very very long 24 years now.
We got a coupon for FREE Tillamook cheese in Friday too...it's for 12 ounces too hoping Winco carries that size, we shall see.
So wasn't on line much on Friday, got my mail cleared and then did the 3 C's and it was nap time.
Oh the last episode of Leverage was just awesome, gonna so miss that show.
I was very tired again on Friday night so fell asleep again before hubby came in.
On the orders of Chuck, I had to take Saturday off.....I was planning on doing the bath in the bedroom but will just do my regular Saturday bathroom instead along with my dusting LOL Can't say anything I am tired and could use a day off.
Did get washes done, my light dusting and bathrooms. One of the washes was the bedspread that is really in sorry shape but for now will have to do, as I don't have anything to put on the bed. Such if life.
Other than that was a pretty good day till I got the ink out and we changed it in my printer and started having problems. Unfortunately it is old as it is at least 8 to 10 years old...we got it at Office Depot years back. Just not a good time for it to die...however, with no orders coming in at all to print....guess it won't make much difference.
Chuck's printer has been acting up too, so to say we are NOT too pleased is an
I did get all my lists checked and cleared off and then had one of those things that just drives you nuts...it was a movie we saw years back....and thought I had the name of it and the one kid in it but was wrong on the name and the kid. I brought up my Netflix queue and went through that, googled it, went to Amazon and finally as I was doing the Netflix queue without searching and started back in 2002, when we started with them. Nothing nada!! However I started wondering about the title and went back to Amazon to my wish list and this time to my Christmas one and sure enough there it was...I kept thinking it was a Thanksgiving movie but it was a Christmas movie and it was so far back we probably got it in VHS from Albertson's and watched it on Thanksgiving.....
I also got my emails all cleared and answered too. But nothing much productive wise today...but other than the printer thing not a bad day. We also made up some pancakes for ourselves for breakfast tomorrow since we don't enough bread! Buddy was happy as he got a small one to eat LOL
So that was my week....exciting wasn't it LOL
Glad it's Sunday and a me day....looking forward to a nice relaxing day...unfortunately Buddy will NOT understand no Tag Team Bar Belly and while he is doing a bit better....don't want to take any chances.
He will be happy with the pancake for breakfast and all his treats today too! Plus ice cream for dessert LOL
So off to eat, take Buddy outside to distract him and shower, cream, spritz...yes....spritzing with my Cherry Blossom....and then lay down with some cream on my face. Maybe steam today...haven't decided yet! Been skipping it as I have to clean it and it takes a while to take it all apart and clean it.
In any case, will do my comics, catch up on boards and then work on some slide stuff, watch some videos and play some Bookworm.
Hope you have a nice Sunday, Sue
I love the side story as it sounds like Alex (the original Marley) carrying the laundry basket to the washroom and back upstairs to the bedroom when the stuff was done.
Hi ladies,We left SS because I was so nauseated that I was miserable AND I thought I was going to vomit any minute. Larry said my face was white as a sheet and when SS was over he asked if I wanted to come home, I said yes. He told the pastor why we were leaving while I went to the car. I came home and within 5 minutes of being here, I vomited and feel much better now. I hope I keep feeling better but the sickness my bunch had started with nausea! I'm determined not to be sick, though!Sue, waving and hope you have another great Sunday. Glad Buddy Max's leg is doing better. I think we might have to take our Catahoula Cur, Glassy, to the vet tomorrow. She has this big bulging thing on her leg, sort of like a boil. When Larry noticed it on Tuesday it was about the size of a nickel but now is the size of a silver dollar. It grew quickly and she keeps licking it! Larry and Ash wrapped some gauze around it a little while ago and she is doing her best to get it off! Maybe wrapping the gauze on it made it hurt. Who knows? I know I have had boils and pressure did make them hurt more! I suggested putting some hot compresses on it as that might help it feel better or maybe even burst! But what do I know!I've got some laundry to put up and then I think I'll take a nap. I'll chat with all you gals later. Hope we hear something from Carolyn today. Her silence is really worrying me!GOD bless,Rose
Time for me to catch up...
So glad you got the cushions done Becky.
Candice I loved the pictures, she is a not a messy eater as I thought when I saw them this a.m. she hadn't eaten yet and there would be more pics with her eating. LOL
Oh no Rose, you poor thing. What will Lori do, if you are sick, does she have off on Columbus Day?
Thanks Rose, yes a very nice Sunday and only 2 throws before he started licking his foot, but it seems alright. Oh no poor Glassy, you can check on line at the vet doctor sites and see what is best to do!
I hope your nap helped a bit Rose and if it were me I would have given the basket to Larry and said 'please talk care of this, while I nap, please'.
Afternoon Wild (not using the new name of Exotic as that's not me) Cherry Blossom Sue here,
It's a beautiful Sunday here, sunny and in the mid 70s headed to 82 today, which is our norm this time of year...can't beat it. Got the windows and doors open.
Had a wonderful 'me day' albeit a bit injury ridden as hubby had the freezer door open and I went under it and was talking and petting Buddy, and you guessed it stood up and OMG OUCH OUCH...it still pains. Then I hit it again when the power went out (yeah on a sunshiny day...go figure...as we both hurried to turn over power boxes off and coming back out from under my desk and not wanting to hit Buddy Max I put my head up too early and wham on the bottom of the keyboard tray...oh and the third time was in the kitchen again when I hit it on the pantry door...not a good day for my head) but back to the power outage so finally getting back up on line after resetting all the clocks, phone, etc!!!
My body hasn't had a good week as I remember hitting or banging my left hand and so still have the very ugly bruise on my left hand with a bump in the center. Also noticed shaving today a bunch of bruises on the back of my left leg. Got to love prednisone and steroids NOT!
Had a very yummy pancake this a.m., and of course, Buddy has his, but then was giving ours the 'eyeball' too LOL
Speaking of food we had one of our enchilada's we last night and we added cheese to the inside and yes we are very good we put a mixture in a 1/3 cup. Well the Sunny Select (Savemart) cheddar was all white and yucky looking so another cheddar to go back. However, we did get cheddar from Winco and some Parmesan too, along with mozzarella. Well OMG the parmesan was AWESOME....it reminded us of the block we used to buy in Sacto and in NY too (can't remember the brand now) that we used to shred ourselves and the Sunny Select can't compete with it....go HyTop LOL
Plus their cheddar was fantastic too...and we love the mozzarella. So very happy campers...all they need to do is get some muenster cheese and we will be set. Plus the pizza blend from Save Mart (which we haven't had any problem with, but just in case) we can made a mix of the HyTop cheeses ourselves.
Buddy did a couple of plays today....as he went and got his barbelly pieces as I was finishing my tea...so hubby said a couple of shot throws and did so after I took my meds. He started licking his foot after the second one but seems OK otherwise...but we stopped and just went outside...he has fun roaming.
I am all clean, creamed and sprtized, along with my face sitting with cream for 7 minutes as I didn't do my steam machine.
Got all caught up on my emails and my boards to now off to work on some Christmas presents...have to figure out the how, order and all that fun stuff first. Got Handyride called before breakfast, got a new gal, but told her no Slo-Joe and she laughed and checked and said no not him...so wish us luck on Tuesday!
A yummy pasta dinner of Rotini pasta with Hot Italian sausage pieces and pepper strips in Chunky Ragu Super Chunky mushroom sauce topped with crushed red pepper, and Parmesan/Romano cheese and a slice of Oroweat Italian bread.....and for 3 scoop Sunday.... 1 scoop of Candy Cane ice cream, 1 scoop of hot chocolate and 1 scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream.
On the CSBM network....CharmedGate...of course, hope you had a nice weekend and nice Sunday,
Hi again,I'm still feeling pretty good. Every now and then I get a wave of nausea but I think it could be that I need to eat. I did eat some toast earlier but have not had an appetite. BTW, I have lost 2 1/2 pounds since I went to the doctor! Yeah, Rose! LOL And thank you, Lord! I've lost a total of 9 lbs. since I started taking care of Brice. I obviously ate more when I was home and I usually only have toast and coffee for breakfast at Lori's...I love her coffee...and sometimes I eat a late lunch and depending on what I eat, I'm not usually hungry so eat some fruit. I am spoiling the kids today, though, and making one of their favorite dishes...spaghetti and meatballs, green beans with potatoes and garlic bread with brownies for dessert. Supper should be ready soon!Candice, so sorry that Eliana got sicker. Poor baby! Were they worried? I wonder if doctors worry more or less when their kids are sick since they know so much! I've had several friends that were nurses and they didn't worry much when their kids got sick. They just knew what to do to comfort them! I love the candid pictures of Eliana. I'll bet her mom can't wait until she has some hair! I don't know why but I thought you were younger than I am, Candice. I turned 60....so weird to write that number...in July! Larry keeps telling me to slow down and I think I'm doing better.Sue, the kids do a lot more than they used to do around here. If they didn't, I'd probably have to take a shovel to my house on Saturdays! LOL It's Larry that should be doing more...at least that's what I think. The boys' have two lists...one taped to the 'fridge and one to their bathroom door. And we do have a schedule, of sorts. I clean the kitchen Friday night, give it a thorough cleaning on Saturday and keep it clean Sunday and clean it before bed on Sunday night. Of course, I also sweep and mop the kitchen, living and dining rooms, hall, and our bedroom and bathroom on Saturday. Larry is suppose to clean the ktichen on Monday/Monday night but I figured out that he buys burgers so he feels he doesn't have to clean it! Kristi is off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and goes to work late on Thursdays so she cleans the house, for the most part, those days. And she does some of the boys laundry out of their bathroom and dusts. I still hate dusting! The boys do pick up after themselves better than they ever have. I think my problem is that if I don't do the cleaning, I don't feel as though it's clean! Crazy, huh? I do need to slow done, though, as I stay exhausted most of the time. I also do some cleaning and laundry for Lori. She doesn't want me to but I'm there and it needs to be done and I know it helps her as her job is so stressful and tiring and it keeps me busy when Brice is sleeping. Becky, how is your shoulder feeling today? I know someone appreciated those clean cushions today. How is DD's mouth feeling now? Has she had to get an adjustment yet? Will your work load be less with your boss gone?
Supper is almost ready and these boys are chomping at the bits to eat. I made a huge pot of spaghetti and meatballs and hope there will be enough for tomorrow but if they eat this early they will probably eat again in a couple of hours!Hope you are all having a good evening.GOD bless,Rose

Anyone who's been involved in kids' soccer knows that at each game, one parent is responsible for bringing oranges for the players to munch on during halftime. This year, the Citrusdal, South Africa-based Western Cape Citrus Producers Forum is taking on that role for the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships.
The group plans to supply more than 2,000 South African oranges to players during the five-day tournament July 22-26. But players won't be the only benefactors — spectators will have access to more than 10,000 more oranges.
The forum started its partnership with soccer in the U.S. last year with regional leagues, said Lisa Packer, a spokeswoman for the group.
"Oranges make perfect sense for soccer," Packer said. "May through October, we thought soccer would be a good connection for South African citrus."
The tournament, in Lancaster, Ma., brings 60 teams from around the U.S. Those teams won the first two rounds of the league's state and regional tournaments, pared down from more than 10,000 teams.
Packer said the Western Cape association will have a South African Summer Citrus booth set up at the event.
In the past decade, imports of South African citrus have increased from 500 tons in 1999 to an average of 40,000 tons, according to the forum.

If there was a revolution in Australia, why not get a revolutionary government to continue to coordinate the armed forces to put down any right wing rebellions and allow a more democratic localized control to be set up? Wouldn't this be more efficient than turning over military control to local committees? What objections would anarchists have to this procedure and how would they organize things differently?
So what is the difference between anarchist structures of coordination and the combination of representative democracy and social ownership that has always been proposed by "socialist democrats"?
In a sense this is a difficult issue because both imply that elected delegates may serve on various coordinating committees.
The general consensus of the population is that everyone agrees to abide by the decisions of the central government, regardless of what their own group wants to do. This becomes the first priority.
As a result, coordination through the central government becomes legitimate authoritative command.
To implement this command, the state employs a body of enforcers who work to its direction regardless of their personal feelings about the decisions that they enforce.
People do not agree to automatically follow the decisions of any federal council but may decide to do the opposite of what such a council recommends. They may or may not be sanctioned by other groups for their wayward decision. That would depend on the circumstances and local decisions.
There is no command but only coordination.
Enforcement is always an outcome of local decisions and enforcers, like everyone else, are not alienated labour but act to produce what they themselves think is useful to and necessary for society.

ARKUSH: Bears' early injuries could have lasting effects
BY HUB ARKUSH | @Hub_Arkush July 30, 2013 8:21PM
Jermon Bushrod
Article Extras
Updated: July 30, 2013 8:57PM
Injuries are a fact of life in the NFL and have ruined more than a few promising seasons, careers and teams. Players do all they can to avoid them, working out year-round, including in team-sponsored offseason programs designed to promote strength and power and limit injuries. Still, they come.
The injury bug arrived in Bourbonnais with the opening whistle of the Bears' fourth day of practice and second day in pads. The season-ending ruptured Achilles tendon suffered by Turk McBride could reverberate throughout the Bears' defense.
We're told the strained calf suffered by left tackle Jermon Bushrod is minor and he's day-to-day. Even if the early diagnosis is correct, though, should Bushrod miss more than a few practices, the injury could send shock waves through an offensive line that we continue to hear is "a work in progress."
Let's look at the big picture on the defensive line first. As bad as I feel for McBride, he wasn't a lock to make the team. The seven-year veteran is a career journeyman and the Bears are his fourth NFL team, but defensive coordinator Mel Tucker and coach Marc Trestman liked what they saw.
Trestman said of the injury, "We're real sad for Turk. He's worked as hard or harder than anyone here this offseason, and we're really disappointed."
Bears brass hoped McBride would claim the fourth defensive end spot and Sedrick Ellis the third or fourth defensive tackle spot. That would have garnered each at least a little playing time and made each the next man up in the event of an injury to a starter. With the unexpected retirement of Ellis on the first day of camp and the loss of McBride, the Bears are now dangerously thin at both spots.
There are two issues with Bushrod's injury. The first is that calf muscles are extremely finicky and slow to heal. Even a lesser tweak can stretch into a week or two if you're not careful.
Perhaps more importantly, it was actually Bushrod who told me on Saturday, "When you put in a complex offense like we have, it's going to take time. It'll be at least the last preseason game before we're ready."
The lesser of two concerns here is that Bushrod has to be the leader and best player on the line. There is no unit on a football team that requires more cohesiveness, timing and communication than the O-line. Bushrod will be fine if he's back soon, but just three, four or more missed days of practice could push the group's readiness into the early part of the regular season or later.
The scarier proposition is that this becomes one of those calf injuries that stretches into a couple of weeks or more. I'm fine with Jonathan Scott filing in at Bushrod's spot, but that leaves no competition at right tackle for J'Marcus Webb, whose early reviews at camp have been shaky at best.
If Bushrod's return is delayed, the Bears have to strongly consider moving either Eben Britton, James Brown or Kyle Long back to tackle to hedge their bet on Webb and create a little depth. Every second of distraction with this group hurts.
If the Bears are going to contend, there are six players they can't afford to have miss significant time: Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall, Julius Peppers, Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman are the first five. Other than Cutler, Bushrod is more important than any of them right now.

As we're pulling into the pits following a very sideways lap of Portugal's rain-soaked Estoril race track, I ask my tour guide Walter Röhrl which is his favorite 911. It turns out we're in it - the racing legend lives in an area that gets a good bit of snow, so a rear-drive 911 is out of the question. He drives a four-wheel drive 911 Turbo. And given what I've just experienced from the passenger seat, there's certainly no drawback to having all four of the 911's wheels driven or its engine force-fed by two turbos.
Let's divide this review into two sections - a short Cliffs Notes section, and then a whole lot of rambling about the new Porsche 911 Turbo.
All-new 3.8-liter engine with direct injection, 500 hp (20 more than before), direct injection. Higher compression and lower boost pressure reduces on/off effect of turbo lag. Sport Chrono pack gives overboost, bumping peak torque from 479 lb-ft to 516 lb-ft. Recalibrated all-wheel drive system and PASM adaptive suspension for better handling; 10 seconds faster around the Nürburgring than the 2009 Turbo (lap time is now 7m39s) and gets considerably better fuel economy. 6-speed manual is standard, ancient 5-speed automatic replaced by fabulous 7-speed twin-clutch PDK (which has launch control on Sport Chrono cars, and optional steering-wheel mounted shift paddles in place of the backwards buttons that are standard.) Optional center-lock wheels are so gorgeous you'll want to lick them.
Let's cut to the chase: there's little question that the 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo is the best Turbo yet. Is it the best 911? In my book, that position is still occupied by the GT3, the loud, rough, manic, please-put-me-on-a-track 911. The Turbo is far less raw - it's the Grand Tourer of the 911 lineup. It loses a lot of the flat-six soundtrack - the one that raises hairs on the back of your neck - in favor of ludicrous forward thrust and the sound of air rushing through the turbos. But what makes the Turbo so special is that it reduces the GT3's sensory overload to levels more appropriate for daily driving, and the fact that it does so without being any less capable as a sports car.

The Dana Show Blog
I don't remember questions like this in High School. WNEM TV 5
Happy Valentine's Day from Lemmy and Motorhead!
Dana talks to Steven Crowder about the winter Olympics
Dana talks to Ann Coulter about Wendy Davis and the Clintons
I remember as a youngster watching the TV and waiting to see if school was closed for a snow day. Watch how this school tells their students that school is cancelled.
Tom Petty: American Girl, Running Down a Dream, I Need To Know, Don't Do Me Like That, Refugee Motorhead: Ain't My Crime Johnny Cash: I Won't Back Down, Rusty Cage Raconteurs: Steady As She Goes, Salute Your Solution, Level The Rolling Stones: Paint it Black
Dana talks to Steve Witaschek, the brother of the DC man that was arrested for having a shotgun shell in his house.
Dana was on the show last night to discuss the comments from Clarence Thomas. Justice thomas feels that we are too sensitive on race issues these days.
If you do not want a baby, maybe wear a condom or take birth control. An abortion should not be used as birth control in my opinion.

Tuesday Morning Post: The Headless Horseman burned down my server {WoW}
Oct 21st 2008 8:33AM I really haaaate the decision Blizz made about there not being a Honor reset. The reset was plain and simply fair but now those players who have been 70 for a long time and haven't spent their honor have an unfair advantage when wotlk ships agenst players who just hit 70 recently or are about to. And they honestly want to balance the honor reset by raising the prices of honor gear to such an amount that makes that min 20k honor like one tenth of the actual amount? Well that reaaaaly fixes the issue here, and what about the new players who will give wow a shot after the expansion hits? The honor doesn't really matter if you just want to have some fun with PvP but buying wotlk pvp gear with honor gear when you are not 70 when the expansion hits will really be a pain in the @ss in my opinion =/
Scattered Shots: Beastmastery in Wrath of the Lich King {WoW}
Jul 26th 2008 3:01PM i want to reply to the parts of the article where it says:
"Call of the Wild, while it looks powerful, only reaches 20 yards, meaning it will miss hitting the Hunter in a lot of situations,"
this ability is powerful, it just won't hit the hunter that much, sure it might be useless when you solo and you hate to get close to your prey but hell we can shoot from 5 freaking yards away too, also keep in mind that it clearly seems that the buff wasn't made to benefit the hunter only. It benefits the meele DPS who are next to your pet DPSing the hell out of that mob while you stand in the back, hunters can get the most DPS out of their abilityes since in most of the encounters they only have to watch out for threat while melee dps has to watch for AoE, special melee abilities not to mention the mobs that net you in melee range and shot you in the face from a few yards out of melee range. it's more of a party buff then a solo one and hunters shouldn't cry about losing dps since you can get alot anyway, this skill enhances the overal performance of your party who are in range (for 20 sec every 5min). Abilities like these clearly makes having pets around in instances more usefull even then they are now
and about the part:
"Unique pet skins are fun, but not 51 talent points worth of fun."
that just another point of view, i personaly would love a dinosaur as my pet, and it doesn't have to be more powerful than other pets either, since then all BM hunters would only get exotic pets, and would make the other pets seem inferior, the main point of Beas mastery talent in my point of view is that +5 talent points, thats worth geting even with out the exotic pet bonus which rocks even if it is only cosmetic which i doubt since the exotic pet will have a unique skill which will increase your arsenal of possible pets depending on what you prefer.

2013 Newbery and Caldecott Winners
Well, I was wrong. Wonder by RJ Palacio, did not win the Newbery this year, not even an honor medal! However, these fabulous books did!
2013 Newbery Award Winner - for the best literature written for children:
The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Appelgate
The Best Book I've Read this year - Wonder by R.J. Palacio
Wonder by R.J. Palacio is a book that stays with you for a very long time. It is hands down the best book (adult or children's) that I've read this year, and 2012 was a great reading year for me! If I were a school administrator I would require every fifth and sixth grade student to read this book, and maybe even up into the high school grades. The story of ten-year-old, August (Auggie) Pullman, truly shows how we shine from the inside and not from merely our appearances.
I love lists. When my mind is jumbled with the hundred things to get done in a day, there is nothing more satisfying then to sit down and write out a to-do list. The tasks on the list get crossed off one by one, and my earlier panic gives way to a sense of relief. Sometimes I will write something down after I've done it, just to get the satisfaction of then crossing it off.

What has 400,000 legs, avoids hot peppers, and hates cold weather?
February 1, 2011 by Hoby · 2 Comments
There is an interesting group that shows up in the Rio Grande Valley (extends approximately from just West/North of Rio Grande City down to Brownsville) each year that are called "Winter Texans." Some estimates say that 200,000 (for a total of 400,000 legs) Winter Texans arrive in the Rio Grande Valley each year (other estimates are closer to 150,000), causing some of the smaller cities in the region to almost double in size.
Okay, not all Winter Texans avoid the jalapenos you find down here in the valley, but a significant number of them do; and ALL of them seem to have a strong dislike for cold weather. I've noticed that many of the Winter Texans also tend to avoid local dishes such as barbacoa and menudo. For the uninitiated, in South Texas barbacoa is normally a slow roasted and seasoned meat dish that is made from the cheek of the cow (the high content of connective tissue provides an excellent flavor, but a texture that some prefer to avoid) and menudo is a soup-like chili dish that contains beef tripe and hominy (again, while the flavor is excellent, the texture tends to make people avoid this dish). Even some locals say that while they love homemade menudo, they avoid ordering it in restaurants.
It is important to recognize that when you take a group of 200,000 people or so, and insert them into an area with a population of only around 1,000,000 (the whole Rio Grande Valley), it makes quite a difference. Another thing that is important is to recognize that the Winter Texan population is about 98% Caucasian, while the year-round population in "El Valle" (the Spanish translation for "The Valley"), is predominantly Hispanic (for Example, Hidalgo County, where Mission, McAllen, Edinburgh, and many other popular destination cities are, is 89% Hispanic).
Another important consideration is that Hidalgo County is, according to some reports, the poorest County in the United States. This is important because it makes the income provided by this influx of Winter Texans an important part of the economy. The agricultural nature of the area provides visitors with some of the best produce in the country (most notable are the citrus—grapefruit, oranges, limes—pineapple, and melons) at very affordable prices (but avoid the grocery stores, and locate the local vendors for the best flavor and prices). Most of the larger RV communities will have vendors regularly come right to the site.
While there is a rich and fascinating culture that comes from the close proximity to Mexico, and the distance from the United States (yes, it often feels as though you have traveled to a new country, which historically left the locals less influenced by the US), the Winter Texans prefer to bring "home" with them, resulting in many activities targeted specifically for these Winter Texans; but there is an interesting mix of the local flavor, as seen by the popularity of Western music and square dancing. There are often so many activities it is difficult to keep track, and impossible to attend them all. One organization that does a great job of helping you keep track of what is going on throughout El Valle and South Padre Island is Welcome Home RGV.
There is a shift in the demographics of the Winter Texan, though. The last few years have seen less of a focus on golf and more on nature. This area has always been known for the birding, butterflies, and other activities engaging with nature, but is growing in popularity for these activities. The World Birding Center has 9 locations in the area, and there is also the North American Butterfly Association's National Butterfly Center. There is also a trend for more mobile visitors who do not wish to stay quite as long; which creates a challenge for the RV communities who would rather have people stay for 5 months rather than 2 months. The new Winter Texans have a greater need to stay connected, which is a challenge in an area where wi-fi seems to be a fairly new thing for the RV communities and cell coverage (for air cards) is often spotty.
It would be impossible to list all of the RV communities in the area, because there are so many; however, they range from your typical RV park (of all sizes and qualities) to upscale RV Residential Communities (such as Retama Village) and everything in between. The bottom line is that the Rio Grande Valley provides a winter haven for people wanting to avoid the cold weather—with a latitude approximately the same as Miami, Florida, a cost of living that is friendly to the pocket book, and winter weather that is mild without the cold nights found in the Southwest. AND, this is the only place where I've ever found "grapefruit pie" served in restaurants.

It seems that knitting traditions and connections are everywhere, sometimes in the most unlikely places. The newest edition of PieceWork's Knitting Traditions offers a number of these. I especially love "Jeune Fille d'Aibling en Bavière." Donna Druchunas explains:
Donna Druchunas's Bavarian leg warmers and her treasured drawing of a young Bavarian girl in knitted leg warmers that she discovered in an antiquarian book shop. Photo by Joe Coca. The best surprises lurk in dark corners in the back of used-book stores. Last year, when the cruise ship on which I was teaching knitting put in at Portland, Maine, I went ashore and soon found myself in Carlson Turner Antiquarian Books on Congress Street.
My most interesting discovery, hanging on a nail on the end of a shelf in the very back of the store, was a cheap frame holding a colored illustration of a young girl wearing a knee-length dress, a hat with a feather in it, and leg warmers. The price was $25. Because I didn't think that it would fit in my luggage, I reluctantly left the picture hanging in the shop. I had, however, taken a snapshot of it with my phone, and a few days after returning home, I was emailing the shop to order the picture. Googling the caption, Jeune Fille d'Aibling en Bavière [Young Girl from Aibling in Bavaria], revealed that my picture was just one of many included in a book published in France in the early decades of the 19th century by the writer and engraver Georges-Jacques Gatine and the painter and illustrator Louis-Marie Lanté. Examining the girl's clothing, I decided that the leg warmers must have been knitted. The patterning reminded me of stitches I'd seen on knitted counterpanes. I envisioned the horizontal lines as being worked in garter stitch, the vertical lines knitted in a textured Ears of Wheat pattern, and the band of swirling shapes at the calf as lace-leaf motifs.
Magnus Colvin, younger son of Jeremina Colvin, and his wife, Berthe. Magnus is wearing the last sweater that his mother knitted. Circa 1976. Collection of the Cowichan Valley Museum and Archives, Duncan, British Columbia. (1997.103.1zz). Photo © the Cowichan Valley Museum and Archives. Needless to say, we are so glad Donna found this treasure, re-created the leg warmers, and shared all with us. They are a perfect example of fashion transcending centuries!
Other connections you'll find in Knitting Traditions Fall 2012 include the lifelong bond formed between Jeremina Colvin and Mary Edwards. Jeremina emigrated from the Shetland Islands to British Columbia where she met Mary, a Cowichan. Together, they established a new knitting tradition combining the heritage of Fair Isle and Cowichan knitting.
Welcome to this installment of PieceWork's Knitting Traditions. It's packed with historical context on the craft's rich history, stories about extraordinary knitters, and projects for new and lifelong knitters.

Grand Mesa
Powderhorn Resort
A little more out-of-the way and a lot more down-to-earth than the bigger Colorado ski resorts, Powderhorn doesn't have a huge number of trails or an upscale lodge. It does, however, offer affordable family fun, shorter than average lift lines, and incredible views. Operated independent from the resort, lodging is available at Goldenwoods Condominiums (one to three-bedroom units with fireplaces and some with private patios) and the Slopeside Inn, a 17-room inn with comfortable, if unremarkable, rooms, just feet from the slopes.
Room to Book:
At Goldenwoods, ask for a room with a Jacuzzi tub.
Insider Tip:
While in the area, take a ride on the Grand Mesa Scenic Byway for the incredible views.
Open / Closes- Breakfast Included
- Mountain Resort
Number of Rooms: 15 suites, 1 condo

A top Vatican official. A private plane. and £20million in cash.
That was the topic of the weekend as Italian police arrested not one, but three individuals in a £20million Vatican bank scam that left the troubled Catholic state with accusations that its been sneaking money into Italy for its high powered friends — to avoid Italy's high tax rate. Italian authorities tell Daily News that prelate and two other individuals were arrested after this had initially been discovered throughout a three year long investigation.
Daily News reports: Vatican rocked by Rent Boy scandal
Police also confirmed that along with the three initial individuals, a military secret service agent deployed into Italy and a financial broker had also been arrested on suspicion of sneaking money into Italy beyond means of the Italian government. Rome prosecutors said as the weekend kicked into gear, that the money had originated from Locarno Switzerland and had made its way to Italy by way of private plane.
Ever since Pope Benedict XVI — The Vatican has been on a mission to make itself appropriate to the EU law so it can begin to use the euro inside of its bank. However, investigations continue.

Hi community,
I have a big question (actually many questions...)
How do you configure and set up Creo, I want to do the following:
I'm a PTC user since ProEngineer 2001 but have always been working on a configured version... (@ previous jobs)
As there was always an option to have your own mapkeys, config files.... I'm not totally unfamiliar.
And I also know to make symbols, setting up drawing templates and adding parameters to parts/assy...
Only, I started recently as Head Product Design Engineer (the whole team is only me atm, but others will join) in a new (blank sheet) R&D mechanical departement.
So, we just bought Creo 1.0 and I's up to me to configure all...!
This means:
-> and all that should automatically load when Creo starts (that is also an issue)
And so on, all quite basic (it's not a huge company or departement), but more than PTC has foreseen as you do the installation.
Where could I find this kind of information?
Thanks in advance,
You have to do these one by one by yourself
And feel free if you face any problem at ant stage
I want to be able to create MY standard parameters as you create a new part/assy/drawing...
You have to create your own startpart(part,asm template), drawing format
You can choose the template from your Creo \Common Files\M xxx\templates to start your work(As per your units)
Add parameters to your start part and asm
Save it in specified location
Give the path in your config.pro
I want to create general config.win, tree.config,...
Making tree.cfg
-Open Creo Model tree Setting
-Change your requirements
-Save setting file
-Give the path of the file in Config.pro
Setting up tables, formats, units...
Creo gives you standard tables to start your work
You can edit these tables for your own
For making drawing format the following link will help you
Keep your format in a folder and Set the path in config .pro
Units are set at the part and asembly template
(every company to company requirements changes, try to make your own company formats. If you face problem in any specific step, we are ready to help you)
Thank you!

Getting started with Second Life (SL) can be daunting. But here's some help!
First, create an avatar account. There's more than one way to do that, each with their own advantages.
You can go directly to Linden Labs, creators of SL to create an account. Or, you can create your account with the New Media Consortium. Name selection may be a little clumsier, but you'll enter Second Life for the first time in an environment dedicated to the support of higher education.
Either approach should serve you well.
Second, if you haven't already done so, download the SL software here.
Third, we suggest that members of the Penn user community do a "boot camp" session to learn basic skills in SL and to become familiar with the Penn virtual campus. We schedule these boot camps when we have 4-10 new avatars ready to spend 30-60 minutes learning from an experienced SL user. Contact Deke Kassabian to inquire about boot camp times in the near future.
Fourth, explore! Log into Second Life with your new avatar account and your newly acquired skills and explore the Penn Campus.
Finally, here are some SL resources that you may find helpful:
