Comments about Behringer B1520 Pro EUROLIVE 15" 2-Way Speaker Pair:
I own a pair of these and power them with an EP2500 so they provide crisp, clear sound at quality that is above average for the price. Good for medium sized rooms or small outdoor shows as mains. For big shows as side fills or monitors.

Four BYU pitchers stifle WSU in Pasco
PASCO — Four different Brigham Young pitchers shut out Washington State as the Cougars from Utah scored a 3-0 victory over the Cougars from Pullman in a nonleague game played before 3,360 spectators in Pasco.
Washington State dropped to 15-14 with the defeat while BYU improved to 13-21.
• The Tuesday game scheduled between Washington and Seattle University at Bannerwood Stadium was rained out and will be made up May 13.
• Gonzaga's Alice Kim took medalist honors for the second consecutive week and the Zags took their second team title of the spring by winning The Gold Rush in Yorba Linda, Calif. Kim had a final-round 75 for a 215 total.
• Seattle U moved up two spots to 11th in the Wyoming Cowgirl Classic in Maricopa, Ariz. Amanda Beyke had a 76 for the second consecutive day and tied for 32nd.

Peter,Just found your blog - have enjoyed reading it so far.I'm looking to purchase a king-size Sealy English Arbour. There are plush, firm and pillowtop models - could you explain the differences between these. Which would you recommend? The prices range from $1,599 (firm) to $1,899 (pillowtop) - are these fair prices?Thanks for your time, and keep up the good work.
Thank you Sean. That is my intention.
The difference is in the padding. Changes in types and amounts of padding have more to do with how a bed feels than anything else. The more padding you have, the more there is to compress over time. The softer the padding the easier it compresses. Pillowtops tend to lose their shape quicker. You choose a mattress based, in part, by how comfortable it feels. But, being an uphilstered item, it doesn't wear like a wooden chair, so try not to ignore the physics involved....considering the softness of the materials and the weights of the people using it.

Hello, I'd like to share what my mom has been making for years from a recipe she reduced from her mothers Swedish Rye Bread Recipe: Re-post from 2007: for reason being that water wasn't added to one of the steps: Grandma Wongstrom's Rye Bread 10 ounces water Place butter, salt, white sugar, molasses, and water in a glass bowl and microwave for 90 seconds. Remove, stir ingredients, and place in bread maker pan. Place rye and white bread flour on top of liquids. Make a hole in center of flour and place the bread yeast in it. This part I don't understand because I was over and made a loaf and all we did was mix the rest of the ingredients together and toss them in the bread machine. Set your controls for 1 1/2 pound loaf and medium crust (or whatever you prefer). She had to order the rye flour from Hodgson Mills in Effingham, IL she says. She also references that, "it is difficult... to find in (our) local grocery stores." It's really fantastic, so give it a try. She also waits two hours for it to cool. Enjoy Please! You'll never want to eat anything else. Mom had a chunk with her homemade vegetable soup and said the experience was super! Take care, Dax |
Follow-Up Postings:
THANKYOU!! I'm Swedish too and have always made my (and moms and grandmas) rye bread by hand but ill try this in the bread machine...looks the same. I can never wait very long when it comes out of the oven. I could eat the whole loaf!! And yes the rye flour is hard to find. When I go back home (Pittsburgh area) I buy it from a little hole in the wall place. |

"Wonderful recipe! I was skeptical about making my own BBQ sauce, but this was incredible. It reminds me of a dish my mother made for us as a child, so it brought back some nice memories. Will definitely make over and over again. Even my husband (who normally does not like BBQ sauce) loves this! Thank you for the recipe!"

instead of sharing a normal point and shoot this week, i thought i'd catch you up on some photos of my honey bun, bear. he just turned 9 weeks old! i can't believe how quickly he's developing. he started smiling a few weeks ago and the big news this week is that i can make him laugh! it's the happiest sound my ears have ever heard. he loves to stretch, take naps in my lap and snuggle with toaster.

We are hoping to have custom cabinets for our kitchen. Waiting on estimate. The estimate will be w/out the hardware, as we are still deciding and will just purchase on our own. Looking for 1920's era pulls, knobs, latches as well as mortise hinges. Two questions: 1. Have looked at stuff online and would love to be able to actually pick up some of this stuff to help make a decision. Of course we can order multiple possibilities and then just return what we don't want, but would be so much nicer to go to a big hardware store w/lots of choices on hand. I'm in capital district of NY state. Anyone know of places, even as far as Syracuse, Boston, NYC that have lots of vintage hardware on hand?
2. Anyone familiar w/durability of various price ranges of mortise hinge? We have a great one we ordered to look at that was used by cabinet maker to make a sample cabinet door, but we bought it on sale for $10. It's normally $25. A lot like it in this price range when full price. That's a lot for so many cabinets. There are some for less, but not sure how much you pay for what you get w/hinges. We are looking for something that really lasts. Or, do most of the vintage hardware places (Rejuvination, Vandykes, etc have pretty regular sales, so we can just wait and purchase on sale? |

1. We do new vintage hardware. Don't know much about actual vintage hardware, but somewhat local to you (Cooperstown) is the William Rigby Co. They are pretty well regarded. 2. Without getting to pushy, we make exceptional mortise butt hinges for a reasonable price. Our hinges are used by many of the best cabinet shops around. Feel free to e-mail or message me with hinge questions. I know as much as anyone about the different varieties. Regarding hinges in general-solid brass butt hinges will last several lifetimes. Brass plated hinges will wear out. Whatever you decide to do, I would recommend solid brass. |

House of Antique Hardware has slotted screws in most of their hardware (and they tell you what type they come with - other places you have to guess from the photo), some of Van Dyke's stuff does. (I'm treading dangerously close to "obsessive restorer" myself....) |
We have mortise hinges from both Rejuvenation and Horton Brasses in various places in our house, and I think both are great quality. Be forewarned that the mortising itself is a pain in the neck if you aren't somewhat experienced in carpentry, though! (We had to do one door from an old built-in that, ironically, once had a mortise hinge, but had been filled in a prior remodel...) So even if you buy the hardware, be sure your cabinet person can build for it and put it in. Rejuvenation used to have fairly regular sales but hasn't had one in a while, so they may be doing well enough now that they've stopped. Van Dyke's seems to always have a 25% off sale running, though I'm lukewarm on their quality. Most of the stuff we've gotten from them has been made in China, which I wasn't psyched about---though in fairness, they price it accordingly. For actual vintage hardware, do you have a flea market or antique fair near you? We have a big monthly one that always has a good selection. You could also try Historic Houseparts---they have a store in Rochester. |
- Posted by circuspeanut (My Page) on Sat, May 28, 11 at 8:39
Historic Houseparts in Rochester is probably the most fabulous resource in your area. There's also: Portland Architectural Salvage here in Portland ME always has a large stock of hinges etc on hand. Old House Parts in Kennebunk has some, too, but I'd go for the upstate NY stores first before getting too far afield. In general, I've found the best prices on eBay for vintage hardware -- you can't handle and touch it, which is the big drawback, but you can save up to about 80% over the specialty salvage stores who know the value of old stock to the penny and charge it, too. |
- Posted by laurielou177 (My Page) on Sat, May 28, 11 at 20:15
Thanks. Lots of good info. Would love to take a trip to cooperstown if we can squeeze in the time - plenty of other things to do there. And, yes, the hortonbrass prices are less than others we've looked at for what is at least described as similar product. We are interested in quality not just for ourselves, but just think things should last. Cabinet maker who's making estimate for us did a mortise hinge on sample cabinet because that's what we were interested in. Not easy, and will add some to our cost, but what he did looks fine. Mortise hinge with inset cabinets is one thing we'd really like. Really makes cabinets look different to us - well, different, but same as from period of our house. |
- Posted by hortonbrass (My Page) on Sat, May 28, 11 at 21:13
Nickel is period appropriate for the 1920's. Mortise hinges are much stronger than a non mortise. There should not be any issue with tall upper cabinets. Not sure the strength of a mortise compared to a euro hinge,, but you should not have a problem. 2" or 2-1/2" tall by 1-1/2" wide are more or less standard for cabinetry. |

AirTalk for April 7, 2014
Peace talks between Israel and Palestine hit a major roadblock
AFP/AFP/Getty Images
US Secretary of State John Kerry (L) is greeted by Palestinian Ambassador to Jordan Attallah Khairy, outside the Palestinian Ambassadors Residence in Amman where he will meet with Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas for talks on the Middle East peace process, as crunch decisions loom in the coming days on March 26, 2014.
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators met for the second time on Monday with an American mediator to try and salvage the peace talks that nearly came to a screeching halt late last week.
Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday that the week had been a "reality check" for the peace negotiations and that the U.S. would reevaluate its role as moderator. Secretary Kerry was instrumental in prompting the two sides to restart negotiations last summer.
U.S. efforts to extend the talks past a late April deadline were shattered after Israel failed to carry out the last phase of a planned release of 104 long-held Palestinian prisoners, while the Palestinians said they would suspend a campaign to sign up Palestine, recognized by the U.N. General Assembly as a non-member observer state in 2012, for as many as 63 U.N. agencies, treaties and conventions.
Abbas then signed letters of accession for 15 international conventions, after which Israel said the final prisoner release was off the table. Kerry originally hoped for a peace deal by April 29 but that is looking increasingly unlikely.
What will get both sides back on the correct negotiating track? Should the U.S. continue in its role as moderator? What are the possible outcomes if neither side is willing to compromise?
With files from the Associated Press.
Yousef Munayyer, Executive Director of The Palestine Center
Neri Zilber, visiting fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy

Young man is recovering from treatment
Chris Bolewski, a 19 year old who was bitten by a rattle snake on Sunday is making strides in his recovery, a Loma Linda University Hospital spokesperson says.
Experts believe that the bite may have come from a Mojave Green snake, whose venom is incredibly strong.
The bite that Chris experienced paralyzed his body for days, however, the Loma Linda spokesperson said that his leg is improving and he is continuing to be kept at the facility for monitoring.
He is expected to recover.
Wendy Langhans, an interpretive naturalist and columnist for KHTS says that there are some steps people can take to help lower the odds of getting bitten by a snake.
First of all, you should wear closed toed shoes. "Sandals are great for the mall but not for walking through the wilderness," Langhans said.
Also, staying on the trail, and watching where you step will help protect you.
Perhaps the most important thing Langhans recommends, is that if you do see a snake, give it plenty of space to get away. Snakes usually strike when they are trapped or surprised.

Do domain companies hate bloggers?
I can't blame them much of the time, but it's a two way street.
Over the weekend I read Shane Cultra's write-up of Webfest. (Great seeing you Shane, by the way.)
It was a good write-up, especially his last point:
The domain companies don't like the bloggers that bitch all the time. Several conversations included companies asking why we don't try and contact them directly before writing. I'll give one example. Talking to the nice representatives from DomainNameSales they told me that somebody had complained about not paying via MassPay on Paypal. There are jurisdictional issues with paypal and they can't use it from the Cayman Islands. Yet the article was written without prior communication to ask why? In short, the reputation of bloggers is pretty good with domain investors, pretty weak with domain companies.
This is true. I think domain companies rightfully get upset when a blogger complains or makes allegations without checking on the facts or asking for a comment.
I have no idea which blog DNS was referring to, but this is a classic example of when it makes sense to just ask the company before whining. If you aren't happy with the response, that's fine. Blog about it. But ask first before whining.
That said, it's a two way street.
The domain news business has gotten a bit competitive. It's important to get important and breaking news published quickly.
Which is why it's important for domain companies to respond quickly to blogger inquiries.
I'm always willing to hear both sides of a story. But if I email/call you today and don't hear back 12 hours later, I'm not going to hold the story. Depending on the story (i.e. the news is already getting out there), your fuse is probably a lot shorter than that.
Smart companies (or at least companies that care about what's written about them) know this. There are a couple companies in the industry that respond back immediately to any inquiries I make.
Others take days, and then they think I'm beating up on them or not being fair.
Frankly, if it takes a couple days to respond to an inquiry about news, you deserve to be beat up a little.
If it's an inquiry about something not as pressing, then a day or two is no big deal. (It always helps if you respond back saying "I'm looking into this and will get back to you by ___".)
Domain companies and domain bloggers both need something from each other. Companies want to get the word out about their products and services. Bloggers want interesting stuff to write about. It's a two-way street.
So to the DNS person who was talking to Shane: you're absolutely right. To the companies that don't build effective communication channels with bloggers: it's your own fault.
9 Comments
These days you see more often well-known domain blogs which simply concentrate to advertise domain companies or domain related products.
Was it this story, I wonder?
Contains the text "I contacted Internet Traffic and asked them".
There is a fact:
Domain companies rarely respond or comment to blogger posts and for some companies it's simply never.As a proof you can see DomainNameSales.com did not commented when probably this blogger outlined a question that many of their subscribers may have.
Sure the blogger was a bit sharp introducing his question but this have a lot to do with my next fact.
There is a second fact:
People tend to not respond when it's something they do not like, or are not interested, … or maybe think you have low interest.This leads to have people frustrated or with the feeling to not receive any consideration.
So when this happens to a blogger he translates this bad feeling to a post that sometimes can looks a bit rude, but who finally is only the result of the poor consideration received.
It happened to me recently with SnapNames.com (who simply never respond to my emails for years) and Namejet.com who only respond to the ones that interest him.
This leaded me to also post something with the hope to get a response:
But due to the first fact this not changed anything except I have now the certitude they receive my message.The only I can say for a better world:
Domain companies:
– Try to respond to ALL email enquiries.
– Comment on posts related to your company.You will get fans and not the inverse!
I did contact DNS. I opened a support ticket asking about why masspay wasn't possible.
They replied what I wrote in the article.
I am not sure what more I could do.
I even suggested that they should contact paypal as "I think you can ask Paypal to enable you Masspay. I have seen many people outside US/Europe do this."
I don't understand how stating a fact is whining.On another article I complained about a Sedo bug. They told it was going to be fixed in a week. Then 2 weeks. 2 months later it is still there. What am supposed to do?
This comment: "I don't understand how stating a fact is whining." was directed to DNS.
Here's a news flash. Politicians hate bloggers. Companies in general hate bloggers. Anyone who's criticized hates bloggers.
Hardly a revelation!

Looks like mock strawberry, potentilla indica. |
- Posted by mklmkl12842 none (My Page) on Wed, May 8, 13 at 16:17
thank you! How is it different from barren strawberry and is this considered a kind of weed? |
P indica is pretty weedy, is seedy and has little or no flavour. Barren Strawberry has white flowers and is Potentilla sterilis. |
I don't think Potentilla sterilis is established in the US. Here we tend to refer to Waldsteinia fragarioides as barren strawberry, which is an early flowering woodland plant that doesn't look much like strawberry at all. |

We are at the very beginning planning stages of designing our new house. I am trying to really nail down what I like before we start talking to the architect to have our plans drawn.
I have fallen in love with black interior windows. I know some of the photos I like are steel, which do not seem practical in our climate (Ohio). There are other photos, though that may not be steel. Can anyone tell me what materials the windows linked below might be? http://pinterest.com/pin/85568461641742376/
I have been looking at the more common locally available window manufacturers (Marvin, Pella, Andersen) and it looks like they don't offer black (or very very dark) interiors. I have read that Milgard offers black interiors, but it doesn't look like the have dealers in our area. Can anyone offer any suggestions besides just painting the inside frames? I am worried that having new frames painted just won't look right. Are black interior frames a lost cause? |

Given the slim line of the profile, I would guess those to be aluminum. Aluminum will give you that modern look but you won't get the thermal performance that you might be looking for even out of thermally broken aluminum. |

See if you can't find an Inline Fiberglass dealer in your area, or possibly aka Cascadia on the west coast in the states. I've seen gallery pictures with black or near black interiors. I found them quite striking and my research on the build of the windows themselves makes them seem top notch in quality. If there isn't a distributor you may be able to buy direct if you're comfortable with a long distance transaction. I found this option referrenced online by those that had done it and spoke highly of it . |

Remember Me
Branden and I truly believe there is a distinct difference between taking a photograph and capturing moments that form ones legacy. When you take time to think about it, once a moment is gone, all that's left is what we manage to record in still photography. Sure, a day or two later you think it is something that will never be forgotten. However, as days turn to weeks and then to months that "never gonna forget moment" fades. We want to keep those moments vivid by providing artful recall of your life. Whether it's your daughter's special day, the oh-so sweet way your first born tilts his head when you call his name or the dynamic way you and your significant other interact, we want to provide you with that moment for years to come. In the age of digital photos, you can literally display images that tell the entire story of your life. How well your story will read depends largely upon who tells the story for you……. we are waiting to start your next chapter.
Branden and Missy Coleman founded IronGate Images as a phtography company with a desire to not just capture memories, but to create true creative works of art. Both have worked together for over ten years and through IronGate have turned their life-long passions of photography into a profession. Both have a unique ability to see people and places with a creative eye transforming what may have been ordinary into something truly special.

UPDATE 1: Vernon has agreed to waive his no-trade clause. Two teams are close to making this official.
Source: Wells absolutely will waive no-trade clause for #Yankees. Clubbies removing Wells' stuff from #Angels clubhouse per @mikedigiovanna
— Scott Miller (@ScottMCBS) March 24, 2013
Well, Well, Well.
Just when you thought the New York Yankees would stay quiet on the trade front with all their injuries this spring, we get word that a potential deal with the Los Angeles Angels is in the works for former Blue Jays outfielder Vernon Wells.
Sources: Yankees in talks with Angels for outfielder Vernon Wells. Lots of money would go back to New York. Deal could be done today.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) March 24, 2013
Wells, who is still owed $42 million over the next two seasons, was going to begin the season on the bench for the Angels with Mike Trout patrolling left, Peter Bourjos in centre and Josh Hamilton in right. Wells does have a no-trade clause in his contract and would have to approve any deal to New York.
Important caveat: Vernon Wells has a no-trade clause and must greenlight any deal. Unclear at this point whether he would go to New York.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) March 24, 2013
The Yankees, who just signed outfielder Brennan Boesch to a one year deal, only to see him injure his ribcage this week, were expected to start the season with Boesch in left, Brett Gardner in centre and Ichiro in right.
Curtis Granderson, who is expected back sometime in June, was injured in his first spring game of the season after being hit in the hand by a pitch from the Jays J.A. Happ.

Citi Analyst's Ability To Follow Law Was Consistently Strong, At Times Exemplary, At Other Times Not So Much
By Matt LevineCiti today fired Mark Mahaney, its internet analyst, and was fined by Massachusetts securities regulators, for sending dumb emails to reporters. The Massachusetts consent order is here. Mahaney's main misconduct1 is that on April 30 of this year a French reporter asked him about Google's YouTube business:
- Do you think that YouTube has been above your Total Net Revenue estimate 2011 ($876M)
- Do you think that YouTube will be above your Total Net Revenue estimate 2012 ($1119m)
- Do you think that they are largely profitable?
And Mahaney replied "Yes Yes Yes." This was problematic because:
The information that [Mahaney] gave to the French Reporter had not been previously published. [He] had published a research report on Google, Inc. on March 21, 2012 and did not publish another research report until his interview with "All Things Digital" on June 21, 2012.
Two thought experiments. First, Mark Mahaney's job was to drum up institutional business by producing actionable estimates and opinions about the stocks he covered. One way to do this is to publish research reports. Google, it is fair to say, is an important stock that he covered. He did not publish any research reports on Google for three months this year. What do you think he was doing during that time? Your choices are:
- Mostly focusing on other things that were not the biggest company he covered.
- Mostly emailing his thoughts to reporters for publication in French trade magazines.
- Mostly giving his thoughts to Citi trading clients via phone calls and in-person meetings.
I hope that question kind of answers itself? Mahaney answered the reporter's questions about YouTube revenues pretty much instantly2; Citi PR had been copied on the email and by the time they told him not to answer he already had. The guy was servicey. To a reporter writing for a French monthly magazine. It's possible that when major hedge fund clients called him and asked "do you think YouTube will beat your revenue estimate from a month ago?" he said "sorry, can't answer that, read my stale report, I'll have more for you in two months." Except it is not actually possible.
What do you conclude from this thought experiment? Was this disclosure material? I have no idea and don't care; I have my own biases about research analyst estimates of revenues at divisions of widely followed public companies but those don't concern you. If it wasn't material, though, why fine Citi and fire Mahaney for it? If it was … why is the email disclosure to the press the issue?
Anyway, also: This is a thing that happened after those emails:
During his 2012 Mid-Year review, Senior Analyst received a performance rating concerning, among other things, his "Adherence to Dept. Guidelines," of between "consistently sets new standards and is truly exemplary" and "consistently strong and at times exemplary."
We talked earlier about Citi and the general equilibrium of puffery. Imagine that instead of a performance evaluation for compliance that includes options like "finds new things to comply with that we didn't even know a person could comply with," Citi's review form had these four options:
- Never breaks the law
- Sometimes breaks the law
- Often breaks the law
- Always breaks the law
Then I guess Mahaney would also have scored somewhere between the best and second-best categories? Exactly like he did? Only instead of that obviously being worrying, the actual evaluation made him sound like he was doing great. That evaluation seems to be part of Massachusetts's "failure to supervise" case against Citi; I guess if he had been evaluated as "needs improvement in the not-law-breaking category" they'd have a strong defense. The culture of puffery has caught up to Citi fast.
In the Matter of: Citigroup Global Markets Inc. [Mass. Securities Division]
Amateurish E-mail Mistakes Cost Citigroup Analyst/Assistant Pair Their Jobs [DI / Kevin Roose]
Mahaney's Email: 'This Could Get Me Into Trouble. Shoot' [Deal Journal]
1. Also, before the Facebook IPO, Mahaney's junior analyst extensively discussed his draft initiating-coverage report on Facebook with his college friends who were reporters at TechCrunch, in violation of law and NDA and common sense and really just everything. Using his Citi email account. This is important: when you send things to Dealbreaker that you're not supposed to be sending to Dealbreaker, use Gmail. Or text! Or put on a trenchcoat and meet us in a dark alley. We worry about you guys, you know. Be safe.
2. Actually even faster; per the consent order the reporter asked the questions at 6:23pm on April 30 and Mahaney answered at 3:24pm. I suppose that's time zones though it's not made clear. Perhaps he just anticipates clients' needs.
Comments (21)
No, he was fired for spending too much time on the Internet.
– Citi HR -
I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden baby Come with me Friday, don't say maybe I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby like you
ugh, freshman year… again…
I resigned fuckboy.
Is that above or below Director?
What law is he alleged to have broken?
under. always under.
Mark wasn't fired. He resigned.
– Vikram Pandit
In all seriousness, this is a sad outcome.
That might be the least material email I've ever read.
Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?
Whole story is strange….I actively trade GOOG and Youtube's numbers is so immaterial to the earnings of GOOG as a whole and not a market mover.
This is bull shit. Respected the fuck out of him, as did just about everyone else in the space. smh
Reading the consent order, it seems like he was fired for violating an internal Citi procedure, a vestige of SSB's past alleged misdeeds, and a stupid one. That, plus he failed to police his junior analyst's personal facebook page, or something.
Dude got screwed.
Up to the point, when suddenly does become the number that do move the stock. Since when do dotcoms move according to _earnings_…?
Thats a lengthy way of saying you can't be half pregnant. Just because everyone else is half pregnant, doesn't preclude him of being a bitch.
taking one for the team is the NKI
he did excellent work with meeker in the late 90's, just excellent i tell you
I feel better already with this guy off the street.
How does Matt's performance eval read in the charts/graphs department? I'm guessing "consistently sets new standards and often exemplary."
Nice work.
"Sometimes breaks the law" is appreciable. There are such peoples who breaks law without knowing it. But, the people who always breaks the law should be punished hard.

10 places to pick berries in King County
Strawberries here, blueberries there — berry-picking season has arrived in King County, and local farmers have one common request: call before you pick.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Now harvesting
U-pick farms
For more information about what's in season at farms in King County and beyond, see the Puget Sound Fresh farm guide at pugetsoundfresh.org/pdf/2013-PSF-Farm-Guide.pdf.
Every year, about the time of the summer solstice, when the northern hemisphere tilts most fully toward the sun, strawberry season begins.
Some strawberry U-pick operations opened as early as Friday, and many other King County farms will open for the season within the next few weeks. Other berries ripening for picking include blueberries and raspberries.
Berry farmers urge people to call before they come to make sure there will be enough blueberries to pick that day.
"Call ahead, call ahead, call ahead," Clarissa Metzler Cross of Auburn's Canter-Berry Farms said. "We don't want it to be like an Easter-egg hunt."
U-pick prices are generally lower than pre-picked berries and range from $1 to $2.50 per pound, depending on type of berry and location. Berry farms offer little shade, so pickers may want to bring sunscreen and water. Most farms offer buckets or flats for picking, but some expect pickers to have their own containers to carry their berries home.
Many farms have other crops as well. Here are 10 farms in King County that welcome pickers; the list is not complete. For more information about U-picks and farms in King and neighboring counties, check out Puget Sound Fresh's 2013 farm guide, available at pugetsoundfresh.org.

Often the difference between a successful supervisor and a mediocre one is simply the difference between their people. One group will work together, overcome obstacles and take pride in each other's abilities. Another will be fragmented with no sense of team accomplishment, no commitment to meet goals and little identification with each other.
The fault is often the supervisor's. It is the supervisor who should know enough about each of the people who report to him or her to be able to inspire, motivate and direct them in terms tailored to their individual needs, goals and ambitions.
The following quiz is no substitute for getting to know your people through talking with, listening to and observing them. But it may stimulate your thinking in those directions.
Do you take each employee's capabilities into consideration, then give assignments that challenge and "stretch" each individual?
If employee turnover is a headache in your department, chances are that your people miss what is known as "job satisfaction." What can you do about it?
At least four things:
Ask for advice. Seek and use every opportunity to make employees feel that their opinions and judgment are respected and valued. It costs nothing to let people think they are contributing to the overall effort, as well as to their own particular area of responsibility.
In tackling a problem, the orderly assembly and testing of facts are frequently not enough. They must be juggled, toyed with, turned upside down, hitched to non-facts, even handled whimsically sometimes. The solution to problems can come from the most unlikely sources: experience, experiment, accidents, daydreams, hard work. You never can tell where or when you'll find them, but there are ways to coax them into existence.
Use your imagination. Fresh ideas have two major enemies: logic and common sense. Most of the world's great inventions were fathered by people with the ability to conduct their minds on free-wheeling excursions into the nonexistent, the unconventional, the absurd. Try it yourself on a problem. How might a child approach it? Suppose money were no object? What could you do if you had all the time in the world? Can you solve this in some combination? With what? With whom? Don't be afraid of getting wrong answers. You only need one correct answer.
Get it down on paper. Your pencil can help, too. Write the problem out as simply as you can. Study it. Jot down every alternative that occurs to you. Draw pictures. Doodle. The mere act of playing with a problem sometimes yields the solution.
Brainstorm. Because ideas generate ideas, a noteworthy method of finding solutions is to talk over a problem with others: friends, colleagues, employees. Encourage other people to give free rein to their imaginations and share their insights and inspirations, no matter how outlandish they may seem.
Something A says may trigger B who in turn may trigger C and so on. Many ingenious ideas have been created through this kind of free association.

Okay, it's been a while since I could even get back on here, Life is fun, albeit busy. Granger is now 2, I think Maggie came along since my last post and she just turned one in June. Now, we are expecting again. We're due in early February.
Any free time I have had has been cleaning the yard and getting ready to plant. Thus, I will offer what I have updated on my trade list for anything that will grow on a rock. Nah, it's rocky here but not that bad. Soil is getting better but I have some serious slopes in some serious sunny areas and some other slopes in the shade that I need to plant. The sunny areas are most important now. In person trades would be great ahead of the next plant swap. I'm pretty much using small terraces to seperate planting areas on the slopes. No more than 10' x 6' but multiply that times thirty. Plenty of rocks to terrace with here. I'd like to showcase something different but I also love old fashioned stuff like altheas. |

click image to zoomCourtesy Kennco ManufacturingBF200 balerRuskin, Fla.-based Kennco Manufacturing Inc. has introduced three models of Bigfoot Balers that will compress and bale plastic mulch, drip tape, greenhouse film and nursery pots.
The balers are completely mobile, allowing users to bring the machine to the field, according to a news release.
The balers produce 40-inch cubes of baled plastic, each weighing about 1,000 pounds. Compressing the materials makes handling and transport to plastic recycling facilities easier.

Earlier this week ZDnet got hold of some crazy statement from an Adobe insider, stating that they will be stopping development of Flash for mobile and tablet devices. And now, Adobe has confirmed that it most definitely is going to stop the development of Flash Player for mobile, however, it will provide bug fixes and support to all devices using the Flash Player.
<Image Credit >
Apple devices have never supported Flash in the first place, stating that Adobe Flash is something not required for a mobile phone, it is vulnerable to attacks, gives poor battery life and more. Even Steve Jobs made it clear in an official note, why the iPhone will never support Flash, but instead go with HTML 5. Looks like the guys at Adobe have finally realized that he was right and have now come to their senses. Flash is also one of most important point that Android users talk about when bashing iPhone and iOS, saying that the iPhone is useless because it cannot run flash. Well, it looks like all the Android phones in the world are going to be useless as well. Here's what Adobe has to say;
Our future work with Flash on mobile devices will be focused on enabling Flash developers to package native apps with Adobe AIR for all the major app stores. We will no longer continue to develop Flash Player in the browser to work with new mobile device configurations (chipset, browser, OS version, etc.) following the upcoming release of Flash Player 11.1 for Android and BlackBerry PlayBook. We will of course continue to provide critical bug fixes and security updates for existing device configurations. We will also allow our source code licensees to continue working on and release their own implementations.
Instead, Adobe is now going to put more effort, time and invest on the growing HTML 5 technology that can do everything that Flash can and is better. They also said that a Flash Player 12 will be released, which will be the final version and new Android devices will not come with Flash, as version 11.1 will be the last on mobile devices. It's best if all mobile makers shift their focus on making their devices HTML 5 compatible, well, most new phones already are.
It's not like Adobe Flash Player for Android will not be available anymore, but no development on it is good as it being dead. Looks like Apple and Steve Jobs were right all along, Android users must know think of new things to disgrace iOS devices.

Drama Mamas: The case of the guild bank thief {WoW}
Jul 15th 2011 4:30PM Maybe I missed something but the sense I get from the original letter is spineless took the equivalent of level 15 to 30 greens and DE'd them and then used his own vellums or just traded enchants. Not high level stuff but low level crap. Frankly the only thing I see that he did wrong was take the enchant for his tank set without permission. Otherwise it appears he just helped the guild clear bank space. Now that's my assessment based on what information was provided to us. I would venture spinelss left out some details but if these are indeed the facts then the fact the guild is worried about losing low level greens or lesser magical essence and strange dust is just well its just kind of strange.
Breakfast Topic: What class should a brand new player pick? {WoW}
Jul 15th 2011 9:28AM My problem with this article was when the author said, "I really had trouble deciding what would be easiest to learn on." Umm if your deciding then it doesn't matter what would be easiest because your making the decision for the other person based oon your knowledge not their desire.
It took a long time to get my wife to buy in but when she did she rolled a goblin hunter. She just thinks the character is cute and likes her pet but she takes the time to read quest texts and allows me to explain spell/shots when she's still confused.
Now my main is an NE hunter so I have a good idea how to be a hunter but I making her class decision for her didn't work. We tried human priest just prior to wrath launch and she got turned off very quickly. I agree there are pros and cons to every class but if you want to start as a mage or warrior or feral druid you can figure it out if you take a little time to pay attention.

Anyway, more of a Word of Glory question...several months ago, wasn't WoG put on a 20 sec CD? I noticed while questing that there was no CD on my WoG; I'm all for this but was this a change back to the way it was when 4.0 dropped or what? I'm currently level 13 so I figure if there was a CD it'd be active now.
Also, I noticed that you can fly to Moonglade now from Darnassus; I don't recall being able to do that prior to Firelands patch; was this another dropped in change with the patch?

kirk of Seattle, writes:
I have fibromyalgia and disc disease. My 4 year old Simmons Shawnee innerspring (no longer made)
was no longer usable and I'd been using eggcrate foam on top all along. I also have degenerative disk
disease and lying on the latex for 25 minutes resulted in back stiffness.. I bought a Simmons Fair Oaks
from Sleep Country USA; it bothers my pressure points and my body will leave an impression in the pillowtop.
The store said the Fair Oaks and less plush Westwood were most like the Shawnee. Also recommended were the
Stearns/Foster Monmouth Castle and less plush Kelso Abbey. I'm guessing I'd need to choose the Westwood or
Kelso. Do you have any opinions about this or do you have another idea? Any help would be much appreciated.
This situationn gets worse every day. Thanks!
Hi Kirk, The Monmouth Castle (my Strasbourg Park), is a level 6 S&F with the better edge support. The
Kelso Abbey (my Julianne), is a level 2. Both are pretty comfortable, so it would come down to what you
like better. Having the duel problem of degenerative discs and fibromyalgia, which have opposing needs,
You might consider a firmer mattress with toppers that can be replaced when worn. Soft mattresses,
like the ones you're cosindering, feel good initially. But as the padding compresses, they'll lose some
of their shape and become firmer, which isn't good for either of your problems. If going with the firmer
mattress and topper, I'd recommend a latex topper under a feather topper. Under those circumstances,
the Abbeville is a good choice. If money is no object, the level 9 S&F, (Chateau Vitre), has the unique
feel of being suspended...almost like you're floating. It uses a short, individually pocketed coil above
S&F's standard heavy coil.

Fedora ISO CD boot problem
- 06-23-2005 #2
Did you verify that the .iso's you downloaded were not coruppted by the download?
If not run (in linux) [code]md5sum /path/to/file.iso[c/code] and compare the output with the file.iso.md5 file on the mirror you downloaded, both should match.
In windows, use a program like fsum, and run the downloaded files through that and compare the output with what's in the file.iso.md5 file.
If they are ok, you could try burning the disks at a lower speed like x4 and see if that works. And you are burning the cd's asa an image and not just copying the file to the cd?

I did check in Linux, not in Windows
I checked with SHA1SUM in Linux, and all discs were fine. I tried discs in Windows and didn't know how to check. I recorded all discs at 4X. One concern with the Boot.ISO, was that the final disc showed a single file rather than multiple files, as I think it should have, though it was only 6666 kb.

Hmm, you might want to look at booting via somthing like the bootdisk mentioned in this thead.

Finally, bootable discs, made with K3b
I should have thought of it before, K3b makes excellent recordings, and it was very careful in reprodusing ISOs as well, checking the CheckSums, the data itself, etc., etc. The CDs booted up immediately in each of my 64-bit computers right away. I'm now try out Fedora Core 4_64 in one of them...but that's another story.
Oh, and thanks to the Gentoo site for the idea to try K3b...

TUCSON - Southern Arizona rounds out the weekend with a warming trend.
Temperatures are on the rise today but we'll manage to keep the highs in the mid 80s for Tucson, according to Meteorologist John Patrick. High pressure building into the region is to blame for our next big warm up as temps peak near 90 on Election Day Tuesday. Temperatures will remain around ten degrees above average through midweek with generally sunny skies.
Our first significant fall system looks to make its way here by late next week bringing some big changes to southern Arizona. By Friday temperatures will drop into the upper 70s and further cooling will have us flirting with highs in the 60s by the weekend. Gusty winds will also accompany this system and some models even hint at a slight chance of valley rain and mountain snow for Friday and Saturday.

Rock of Ages Approach
TH: | From Ridgway, leave U.S. 550 and take Colorado 62 toward Telluride. Drive over Dallas Divide and down to Placerville and turn left onto Colorado 145. Drive 6.5 miles and turn right onto the Silver Pick road (dirt). Its over 8 miles from here to the trailhead. Drive 4 miles to an intersection and turn right onto FR 622. Continue 2.2 miles, turn right onto FR 645 and drive approx. 2 miles to the Rock of Ages trailhead, near 10,350. Notes: After 1 mile on the FR 645 road, you must cross the stream in Big Bear Creek which usually isnt too bad by early July. Also, there are some designated camp sites along this road. |
Route: |
From the trailhead, hike south on the Rock of Ages (#429) trail. Shortly after leaving the trailhead, stay left - Photo #1. After walking over a mile, turn left to begin your ascent out of Elk Creek Basin - Photo #2. Follow the trail northeast (Photo #3) over the ridge separating Elk and Silver Pick basins and enter Silver Pick Basin, near 11,400 - Photo #4. |
Notes: |
IMPORTANT: This route enters the Lizard Head Wilderness area. Wilderness areas have special regulations and restrictions for party size, dispersed camping, campfires, etc. Also, dog owners should read the wilderness information carefully because some wilderness areas prohibit dogs to be off-leash and/or limit how close dogs can be to lakes and streams. If you have questions about the Lizard Head Wilderness area, please contact a U.S. Forest Service office for the National Forest(s) listed above. |

TUCSON - The FBI is asking for the public's help in identifying an unknown man who may be able to provide information regarding the sexual exploitation of a child.
According to an FBI news release, the unknown man can be seen in photographs that surfaced on the internet depicting a prepubescent female, approximately 10 years old, posing naked in sexually-explicit positions. The man can be seen in the picture witnessing the child's activity from a nearby bed. The FBI says these photographs have been circulated and/or traded as child pornography on various illegal internet forums.
Investigators enhanced the background of one of these photographs and identified what appears to be a child's drinking cup from the QuikTrip chain of gas stations, leading them to believe these photographs were likely taken before November 2005 in one of 13 U.S. cities where QuikTrip stores are located, which includes Tucson.
A baseball cap with what could be the logo of a local sports team, and the partial image of what appears to be a phone book can also be seen in the enhanced images, and investigators believe these could also be clues to the location of the endangered child.
The man's identity and current whereabouts are unknown. Investigators say he appears to be a white man between the ages of 55 and 65 with brown eyes, gray hair, and a full bear and mustache.
"The public is reminded that no charges have been filed in this case and the pictured individual is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law," FBI officials stated.
Anyone with information is asked to contact their local FBI office - the Phoenix branch of the FBI can be reached at: (623) 466-1999. You can also , submit a tip online at https://tips.fbi.gov/ , or call the FBI's toll-free tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Shikongo-Kuvare, Lorna Tuwilika firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-04112008-150144 Document Title Development of risk communication strategies to improve control of Cysticerus Bovis in North Central Namibia Degree MSc (Veterinary Science) Department Paraclinical Sciences Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof C Steward Co-Supervisor Prof C M E McCrindle Supervisor Keywords
- meat inspection
- Cysticercosis bovis
- North Central Namibia
- zoonotic diseases
Date 2007-04-18 Availability unrestricted Abstract Between 60-70% of Namibia's population practice subsistence agro-pastoralism on communal land that constitutes 41% of the total land area. Cysticercosis bovis is found worldwide, but most often in rural developing countries, where unhygienic conditions are coupled with poor cattle management practices and lack or absence of meat inspection. Because livestock is so important to the economy and social structure of the majority of people in Namibia, risks from zoonotic diseases transmitted from domestic animals to humans are a constant threat and are therefore of major concern. In addition, C.bovis is also emerging as a public health risk not only in these rural communities but also in urban areas where many infected cattle are transported, informally slaughtered and consumed. This disease has a negative impact on food safety, and thus is related to Veterinary Public Health (VPH) strategies in Namibia. Over the period from 2000 to 2004, 3232 (8%) measles detections were recorded from the 40 373 cattle slaughtered at Meatco Oshakati Abattoir. C.bovis is considered important from both an economic (loss of income to cattle owners) and human health (it is a zoonosis) point of view.
The aim of the study was to do an analysis of the level of C.bovis in bovine carcasses at the abattoir, in order to identify geographical areas where the disease is prevalent in cattle in North Central Namibia and to develop a risk communication strategy, to improve the control of this disease in the target population (subsistence cattle farmers in the study area).Meat inspection was carried out for a period of 12 months and the abattoir records examined covered two years (2004 –2005). Results showed that incidence for C.bovis of cattle originating from Oshikoto Region were high: (12%). Omusati and Oshana Regions had an incidence of 7% and a much lower incidence of C.bovis (5%) was reported in cattle from the Ohangwena Region.
Structured interviews with 95 farmers (99% male and 1% female) in all the four Regions of the study area, were carried out using a set of questionnaires (Appendix A). The questionnaires had provision for numerical data and comments concerning changes, constraints and suggestions for improving dissemination of information and extension services in the target areas.
It was noted that between 5% and 13 % of respondents had neither pit latrines nor waterborne sewage. This leads to the conclusion that a significant proportion of the rural population is defecating in an area which is available to the cows grazing close to the homestead or cattle post. In addition, 61% of cattle from this area are marketed through informal marketing and many of them are slaughtered informally with no meat inspection taking place. This provides a high risk of infestation for the consumer, which perpetuates the parasite in the rural population. The educational level showed that 24% had no formal education and 33% had only primary school education. The language spoken by 93% of respondents is Oshiwambo and although only 20% speak English or Afrikaans, extension materials, including visual material, is not available in the vernacular. Between 58% and 96% of the respondents from the four Regions had no knowledge of the disease and how it could be diagnosed and controlled in both people and cattle. In Oshikoto Region, where the incidence in slaughtered cattle was the highest, only 4% of the respondents knew about C.bovis in cattle.
The results obtained for language proficiency advocates for extension materials to be developed in Oshiwambo (which 93% of the target population are able to read and write). Skills training using visual aids and personal communication in Oshiwambo would be needed for other 7% who are illiterate.
From the above, it was concluded that extension is needed to reduce the incidence of C.bovis in cattle. The most important extension messages, as determined by an expert opinion survey of veterinarians in Namibia, were firstly that families should be treated for tapeworms and secondly that they should only buy meat that has been inspected after slaughter at an abattoir.
It was recommended that stakeholders in the livestock industry, and the state as well as the Department of Health should be made aware of the high level of cysticercosis and the equally high level of ignorance about the disease in rural areas of North Central Namibia. Veterinary and agriculture staff should be motivated to communicate and combine efforts to assist each other, as transport is expensive and one of the main constraints to successful extension because of the great distances in North Central Namibia. Funding should also be found for production of extension materials in the vernacular.

text: Ecowas regional workshop convenedWednesday, October 15, 2008 A regional workshop on non-traditional modes of access to finance and business capital, last Wednesday, commenced at the Paradise Suites Hotel in Kololi. The workshop, organized by the Ecowas Commission, was aimed at bringing together some selected private sector players and specialists from financial institutions within the sub-region, to enable them to network and engage in discussions within the sub-region. The organizers also envisaged that the workshop would offer the opportunity to bring transparency to the sources of finance available both traditionally and non-traditionally, the modus operandi to access these sources of finance, and how to tackle the key challenges in accessing them. In her opening remarks, Beatrice Prom, the communication officer at The Gambia Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of all economies and key sources of economic growth, dynamism and flexibility in advanced industrialised countries as well as in emerging and developing economies. She added that SMEs constitute the dominant form of business organisations, accounting for over 70% of enterprises. "They are responsible for between 60-70% net job creation in Africa," she posited. According to Mrs Prom, in spite of the critical role SMEs play on our continent, they are plagued by numerous challenges - the key to which is their inability to access adequate and timely financing for their operations. He further added that improving access to sufficient and adequate capital for SMEs is crucial in fostering entrepreneurship, competition, innovation and growth in Africa's economy. For his part, Alfred Muhamadus Briaimah, the director of Private Sector, Ecowas Commission, stated that the world is now becoming a global village where competitiveness is becoming a key issue, and that this is why Ecowas identified the private sector as the key engine for growth within the strategies of the 15 member states of Ecowas. He also added that once they start to operate by the set principles, it would increase the confidence levels of the banks, something which he said would reduce the perception of the risk of granting finance to this sector, and, therefore, within the long term, lead to a gradual drop in interest rates, in line with the economic fundamentals for each of the countries.
