ALBANY, NY — As more and more states continue to reform marijuana laws, New York could join the other 18 states, as well as the District of Columbia, and legalize medical marijuana as early as next year.
When the state legislature reconvenes in January, State Senator Diane Savino (D-North Shore/Brooklyn) plans on introducing a bill that would legalize medical marijuana to the Senate.
The bill would allow seriously ill patients with doctor's permission to purchase cannabis through a system of state-registered medical marijuana dispensaries. Patients would have to register with the state Health Department to receive access to the dispensaries. The bill would not allow home cultivation by patients or their caregivers.
Several of New York's neighbors have already passed laws allowing medical marijuana, including New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and the newest medical marijuana state, Massachusetts, who's voter approved law takes effect January 1.
"We need to follow this example and pass legislation to allow doctors to prescribe medical marijuana," said Sen. Savino. "There's tremendous support to legalize medical marijuana in New York. It's inevitable."
Savaino adds that medical marijuana could provide some additional revenue for a state still recovering from Hurricane Sandy in November.
"Licensing and taxing of marijuana growers, dispensaries and sales could generate upwards of $1 billion for New York's cash-starved coffers," Savino added.
Medical marijuana legalization could have strong support from colleagues, and a renewed medical marijuana lobbying campaign has already begun. New York lobbyist firm Patricia Lynch Associates has been retained by Colorado-based Gaia Plant Based Medicine, to press lawmakers and the governor to legalize medical marijuana.
Governor Cuomo, while pushing for further reductions in penalties for possession of marijuana, remains skeptical of medical marijuana in New York, however. Cuomo has said that he believes more research is needed to prove that legalizing medical marijuana will help people with problems such as cancer and multiple sclerosis, yet not increase drug abuse and criminal activity.
"I understand the benefits, but there are also risks — and I think the risks outweigh the benefits at this point," Cuomo said earlier this year.
Cuomo wants to reduce penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana from a misdemeanor to a violation. New York decriminalized marijuana possession under 25 grams in the 1970's, but the law has loopholes that have led to New York City's reputation as the "Pot Bust Capital of the World".
Under New York state law, the private possession of up to 25 grams of marijuana is a non-criminal civil citation, punishable by a $100 fine. By contrast, the possession of any amount of cannabis in public view is a criminal misdemeanor.
In June, Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo urged lawmakers to close the 'public view' loophole. That effort was ultimately quashed by Senate majority leader Republican Dean Skelos, who argued, "Being able to just walk around with ten joints in each ear, and it only be a violation, I think that's wrong."
In October, Gov. Cuomo reiterated his support for amending the state's marijuana laws. Speaking at the New York State Trooper Class of 2012 graduation ceremony, Cuomo said that he "would not consider" convening a special legislative session unless lawmakers were willing to consider reforms to reduce New York City's skyrocketing marijuana arrest rates.

Heroes of the Storm skins, mounts and more
Digging through giant posts like these can be something of a daunting task, especially with the strings. The extensive pictures of heroes and skins are fantastic, I am a particular fan of the "Lurkablo"-Diablo and the "Diablo Kaijo" skins, and their flavor text: "The government of Neo-Tristram grew overconfident as their experiments yielded more and more nuclear energy. They thought the power of the atom was under their control. They were wrong." But why are we interested in the strings, the lines of code at the top?
Well, they indicate that Heroes of the Storm is going the same way as Hearthstone, by working off a dual-currency system. The currency that allows you to buy skins, mounts and more could be your local currency, as suggested by the Select Currency, Tax and Real Money purchase strings. We can also see that heroes are sometimes free-to-play, and that you will get a reward for beta-testing the store. Not only that, but the various access unlocks suggest a secret shop!

I'm looking for undermount sinks to go in my new kitchen, but very confused about sink "depth", meaning the front-to-back measurement. The sink I like (Vigo VGR2320C) has a 20" depth, which includes the lip around the top, meaning the actual opening you will see when the sink is mounted under the countertop is 18" front-to-back. My cabinets are standard 24" depth, so I would assume the countertop will be 25" deep. Subtract from that the space needed for the tile backsplash... do I still have enough room for a faucet between the wall and the sink? |

There's a good discussion in the thread titled "How much space do you have behind your sink?" that may help you. See the link below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: front to back - counter, sink and faucet measurements
You should do the calculation yourself to confirm. I would assume 3.5" from the front edge of the countertop to the front of the sink. You probably wouldn't be able to get it to be much less, maybe 0.25". You also need to look at the measurement requirements for your faucet. You will need a bit of clearance between the back edge of the sink and the faucet cutout hole. You also need to look at the exact faucet and make sure that the handle doesn't have extra space requirements. Some faucet handles extend behind the main tube -- if you are short on space, make sure you have one that doesn't force your fingers to bang against the back wall. If you have a backsplash behind the sink, you should deduct the width of that material from the overall space requirement. If your sink is 18" front-to-back you should be able to find a faucet that works, but it will be close and if you pick the wrong one it could definitely be an issue. I would try to find the right matching faucet rather than extend the depth of the countertop, which can lead to other issues (e.g. harder for people to reach the faucet or anything behind it). |

Why is WSDOT improving safety and congestion on SR 302 between Key Peninsula Highway and SR 16? This section of SR 302 experiences congestion at specific locations and a high rate of collisions. To reduce congestion and the potential for collisions, WSDOT is developing improvements for key locations such as the 118th intersection. These improvements include widening portions of the road, adding left-turn pockets, widening shoulders, increasing sight distance and access consolidation. Other improvements include removing some trees and other hazards within the right of way and constructing several emergency pullouts.Restriping work will also occur, with the goal of helping motorists drive within the speed limit and helping them focus on the road. That restriping will include widening the edge stripe to up to 8 inches to increase lane visibility for drivers. The edge stripe will be widened on the lane side so the shoulder width will not be affected.Crews will also widen the center line stripe up to 8 inches to provide the appearance of a more narrow road. Numerous studies have shown that the illusion of a narrower road slows drivers and helps them drive within the speed limit.WSDOT will install more guide posts at closer spacing in the wooded areas and through curves to better delineate the road and focus drivers' attention.WSDOT will also increase reflective lane markers to help delineate the road's center line. After all this work is completed, WSDOT will monitor speeds to see if additional measures are needed.
The End Result Specific improvements at key locations will reduce congestion and improve safety by reducing the frequency and severity of collisions.
Project Benefits Safety - Improved sight distance along the corridor, new turn pockets to facilitate left turns, emergency pullouts at key locations, and numerous changes to striping and lane delineators to encourage drivers to stay within their lane and drive within the speed limit.Congestion - Improved traffic flow along the corridor.
What is the project timeline?
Financial Information
Project signage will reflect the cost of construction engineering, project bid award and sales tax.

Fun color combination.
Crimson Brown - pigment builds up to a nice dark hue, but it takes time, sister. Good shimmer.
Shimmery white - nice highlight color. I used this one up while the others are fairly unscathed
Gold - meh gold. Not a lot of pigment. Decent for a touch of shimmer, though.
Lime - just not for me. Totally sheer, and sheer green? What?

Love this quad. The deepest shade is a dark brownish plum, great for someone with gold flecks in their eyes, like me. The gold and green shades are both pale with a hint of shimmer and blend well together to bring out gold and green tones in the eyes. Bonus - there is a white shadow, great for using on the browbone and in the inner corner. I sometimes tend to find Cover Girl shadows a bit dry and not pigmented enough, but this one is an exception This is a terrific quad color combo for me, and a very affordable price. I would definitely buy again.

I am definitely not a fan of this product! The shadows are all pretty chalky in consistency and they're not the easiest to blend. On top of that the only color that actually looks good is the burgundy one! The packaging is also very cheaply made and I feel that if I lightly dropped the quad one time it would completely shatter. I definitely will not be repurchasing this item as it was a huge disappointment!

I havent really been a fan of Cover Girl eye shadows to begin with, but after watching EmilyNoel on Youtube as well as a girlfriend of mine both speak so highly of them, I decided to give them a try.
This kit has a deep burgundy, an antique gold, white and lime green. It was the green that initially caught my attention. The other colors arent really anything exciting. I found them to be pretty chalky, and the white and green are really lacking in terms of pigmentation, which was a real disappointment. They all have shimmer, but its not a very fine shimmer. The burgundy has the best pigmentation, but again, the texture isnt so great. It only took one swipe with this color to get nice definition. It is the only one I liked in this kit.
I also wasnt able to get the colors to work well together. I also didnt feel like they did much to enhance my eyes, either. They look ok as a daytime look if I use the white as a highlight, the gold on the lid & burgundy in the crease. The green is just about worthless. Possibly it would better suit someone of darker skin. It really didnt do mush for my eyes.
That being said, the look I was able to achieve really wasnt anything amazing. If you are looking for good drugstore eye shadows I would rather buy some Maybelline, WNW or Loreal instead. I wasnt impressed. I think I will give it away.

I love this palette, it has the oddest colour combination and you think there is no way they are ever going to work but they do create a fantastic look.
I call it my 'Cruising for a Bruising' look because it does look like a bruise when its on the mend, purple, yellow and green. Sounds weird but looks fantastic.
I first apply the green to two thirds of my lids starting from the outside. I apply the gold in the inner corner and blend a little into the green.
I apply the purple with a fine crease brush to the outer V and right along the crease line to the inner tear duct. I also apply a little purple on my lower outside lash line about half way.
Then use the white to highlight and blend up from the crease.
These shades are great, the purple, gold and white have shimmer and the green is matte. They blend extremely well and I think you could have alot of fun with this palette.
The colours make my green eyes really POP and having the green along the upper lash makes them look really big.
I have very fair skin and I haven't noticed that it brings any attention to dark circles or redness in my complexion.
For me this is a very different palette to what I would normally buy and I am very pleased with the results.

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Other Hair: Other Eyes: Other
hate to bring down the reviews on this one but i hafta be honest:
this should actually be called a 2 shadow kit not 4 shadow b/c essentially the green and white are so unpigmented they might as well not even be included!
the gold is okay~ put it on wet and it's much nicer. same as the purple! it's beautiful when wet, h/e if you have undereye circles or if ur tired i would not put it on. this purplish-brown-pink shadow can enhance those circles/bruises. put on a lot of undereye concealer first to cover those up. also, the purple has pink tone in it that can bring out the redness some of us have in our t zones. again, conceal those areas and the purple will look much better.
i recommend wearing the purple on ur upper lashline, but it mite not work on the lower lash line for everyone.

these colors are soo amazing.
it comes with a dark raspberry/plum/marroon color with gold shimmers
a gold
a shimmery white
and a light green.
the marroon color and the gold are amazing, seriously.
i would pay the price of a mac eyeshadow, $14.50, for just one of these.
they are ridiculously pigmented and smooth, more pigmented than some of the mac eyeshadows i own.
and i got both of them for like $4 i think?
the white color is nothing too special, just a highlighter.
and the green one is the only one i was dissapointed with, very unpigmented.
and also, the green and white are pretty chalky.
but like i said before, this quad is worth purchasing for just the maroon or the gold.
will definitely repurchase when or if i run out!

My garden is featured in this month's issue of a local community newspaper, DC North. The writer got a few small facts wrong (like the name of my street!) but overall she did a good job with it and she was enthusiastic about the subject. When she interviewed me in March there was almost nothing growing or blooming in the garden--fortunately she had seen my online photo albums, and was able to include one of my own photos from last year when the garden was at its peak. |

That is a great article. Congrats!! |
Great writeup!, I'm sure you're inspired now to go out & do some new stuff, it sounds like a wonderful garden already, but it's fun to tinker... I'm interested in your bananas & palms, I live a bit south of you, near Mt. Vernon, & just planted a tiny banana, that overwintered indoors (the kind you buy in the grocery store, marked 'Banana Splitz') outside , with lots of manure & humus, mixed with my clay soil, outside. I'm going to go looking for needle & windmill palms, & I've already put out lots of coleus & cannas (probably before it was warm enough for them). It's a challenge, adding a garden to a traditional colonial (not messing with the front, mostly lawn & slate-edged beds)& trying to do some more tropical stuff in the back-it's heavily shaded by trees (& I want to save the south exposure for a greenhouse, eventually)-& I've just gotten into orchids & moved some dendrobiums outside, which the squirrels promptly chewed... I love your garden & hope that you enjoy working with it this spring...Thistle/Linda |

Go to holly woods and vines in mt vernon neare 235 and route 1 . There you will now find 30 - 40 windmills of all different heights. They also have washingtonia and queen palms. The place is on the left going south. |
The red-hot pokers don't show in this photo. The pink spiky things are plumes of an ornamental grass, Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Moudry' (it is supposed to be much darker but this cultivar has probably been grown from seed and much watered down). There are also some cleome in the photo, which don't show up very clearly. Here's a slightly better version of the same photo (see link). |

Holywood golfer Rory McIlroy is poised to become one of the biggest earners in sporting history, following confirmation of a multi-million pound sponsorship deal with Nike.
The 23-year-old world number one was unveiled as the company's new brand ambassador in Abu Dhabi on Monday.
Although the exact details of the contract were not announced, it has been widely reported to be worth as much as $150m over 10 years, if McIlroy carries on winning majors.
"I chose Nike for a number of reasons," said the Northern Irishman.
"It's a company and a brand that really resonates with me. It's young. It's athletic. It's innovative. They are committed to being the best, as am I."
Signing with Nike is another step towards living out my dreamRory McIlroy
Signing with Nike is another step towards living out my dream
Rory McIlroy
McIlroy, previously with Titleist, will now use Nike's full range of clubs, balls, clothing and accessories as he joins 14-major winner Tiger Woods in the company's colours.
The champion golfers go head to head in Nike's new advert, which shows them teeing off on a golf course with some unexpected results.
McIlroy challenges Woods, who he refers to as "the old guy" as their golf balls bounce into homes, offices and even interrupt one couple's big day.
While McIlroy chuckles that he is having "one of those days" when he "just can't miss", Tiger has the last laugh.
Cindy Davis, president of Nike Golf, said: "Rory is an extraordinary athlete who creates enormous excitement with his on-course performance while, at the same time, connecting with fans everywhere.
"He is the epitome of a Nike athlete and he is joining our team during the most exciting time in Nike Golf's history. We are looking forward to partnering with him to take his remarkable career to the next level."
McIlroy tweeted he was "pumped to officially be a Nike athlete" and was welcomed to the fold by fellow Nike-sponsored sportsman Wayne Rooney, who said: "Excited to see you have another great season."
McIlroy, who already has two major titles under his belt, begins the new season this week at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.
So pumped to officially be a Nike athlete!!! Can't wait to do many great things in the SWOOSH! @nikegolf— Rory Mcilroy (@McIlroyRory) January 14, 2013

Has anyone had any experience with Helianthemum? I bought two for the new rock (boulder) garden. One is "Wisley Pink" and the other is "Dazzler" (Red). Both bloomed great earlier this season (in late spring) and have grown considerably. Suddenly, in the past few days, the red one has all but dried up! The pink is just fine and thriving. There were no signs or no warning at all, no insects or anything else that explains it. Any ideas as to what happened are welcome. All other plants in the same area a fine. |

Could the drought be affecting it? They are a very drought-tolerant plant, but only once established. Sounds like you planted it this year. |
- Posted by bill_ri_z6b (My Page) on Sun, Aug 7, 11 at 12:29
I did plant it this spring, but along with all the other things in the new rock garden, including the other Helianthemum "Wisley Pink". I also have been watering the whole area very well throughout the season and everything else is fine. That's what's baffling. I gave it a good push into the soil yesterday to be sure to re-establish good root contact and gave it a diluted feeding and another good watering. Today it's been raining a lot too. We'll see how it goes. |
- Posted by whitegarden Z5 MA (My Page) on Sun, Aug 7, 11 at 14:02
Maybe try a transplant solution or rooting stimulator. It's possible the roots hadn't made good contact. |
Do you have voles? Mine have been quite active this summer. :( Almost every plant I have seen starting to look a bit droopy, when I pushed on the soil around it, it was clear they had been tunneling in the root area. So I have done quite a bit of stomping areas of garden and then watering things back in. (I think I need a cat . . . ) |
- Posted by bill_ri_z6b (My Page) on Mon, Aug 8, 11 at 12:25
I've never seen voles, nor have any other plants been having any problems. I do think it's possible that the soil has settled down between the large boulders, and maybe has washed away from under the plant a bit. This was a huge project and the boulders are big - 3 to 4 feet or so - and they had fill behind them so it very easily could have settled some. There used to be a bank there going from the upper garden grade down to the lawn and house level, but I had that dug back and now two tiers of boulders make the grade change more interesting, as well as giving me lots of areas to plant creeping and trailing plants. |

Every member of the Ravens' defense will have a knee injury of some kind at the conclusion of their game against the Cowboys this afternoon. It's trendy, and it's the new Gangnam Style.
First it was Lardarius Webb, and then Haloti Ngata followed. The Ravens have now confirmed that both of their key defensive anchors have knee sprains, making their returns questionable at best, and highly unlikely.
While the result of those injuries would typically be an aerial bombardment due to the lack of both pocket pressure on Tony Romo and elite coverage down the field, there's a far more troubling problem that's not directly connected to the absence of Ngata and Webb, and also Terrell Suggs. A ground gashing is underway, and there's blood everywhere.

I wonder what her kids think when she speaks to them like that??
Just kidding, Britney Spears never speaks to her children.
I'll take it.
I was trying to match Gabe's enthusiasm.
Congrats, it looks like you guys had a lot of fun at prom!

I watched about ten minutes of Laguna Beach a few years ago and it was the only time I've ever watched one of those shows and it was probably the longest ten minutes of my life. This pretty accurately captured that moment.
(But with pilgrims)
My mom read "Soap Digest" and I saw an issue lying around with Franco's face on the cover and I was like "whaaaaa" and then I read the headline which was something like "WHICH GH LADY WILL END UP WITH FRANCO??" and I was even more confused. Thank you for catching me up on all this without having to actually pick up and open an issue of "Soap Digest".
Great read, Gabe brought almost a Topher Grace enthusiasm and innocence to this blog posting.

Man, these Eric Wareheim music videos just keep getting weirder and weirder.
Anyone who has seen "True Life: I Have a Summer Share" shout be very excited about this, as "True Life: I Have a Summer Share" is probably the greatest thing to ever come out of reality tv.
(Nerd alert!) I haven't been hugely impressed with the comic but I've thought the movie looks pretty entertaining so far. That being said, this trailer is horribly edited and kind of unrepresentative of the comic, which is not so much a fun nerd fantasy. The first time Kick-Ass tries to stop a crime he gets beaten, stabbed, and thrown in front of a speeding car. And the little girl disembowels people with samurai swords. Whoo, violence!
I don't think the video being posted on myspace is actually a reference to this, but in the comic Kick-Ass has a myspace page where people can ask him for help.
This is clearly the next twitter account that should be turned into a tv show:
I bet those piercingly cold, dead eyes come in really handy during instense rap battles.
I can't wait for PETA's campaign to convince people not to buy the jewel-encrusted eggs of endangered birds. It's those little every day things we can all do to make a difference.

Esquire named Hair M the best barber in Portland in 2010, and CitySearch followed suit two years later. The barbershop has also been featured in the New York Times, Men's Health magazine, and the nightmares of unibrows everywhere. The evidence is plain?a man can get a mean haircut at Hair M. But the business offers so much more.
An environment of rugged wood paneling punctuated with HDTVs tuned to sports channels makes the most style-phobic fellow feel welcome, and the bar serving Widmer beers and fine wines doesn't hurt either. Besides regal grooming services, Hair M performs upscale face and body treatments, and keeps a massage therapist on staff at both locations.
The skilled crew at The Vital Barbershop mollifies masculine manes with precision trims, straight shaves, and indulgent hot-towel treatments. During the half-hour haircut, a trained barber shampoos head hedges, neatly clipping behind the ears and smoothing sandpapery necks with a straight-razor shave. The shop's 30-minute Vital shave upends face fur with a straight razor, and then stalks any remaining stubble with a Mach 3 blade and series of detailed love letters. Throughout the shave, repeated hot-towel applications soothe skin and moisturize pores, and the shop's complimentary beer, wine, and old-fashioned soda thwart thirst and provide tasty aftershave.
The only thing more gratifying than being complimented on one's hair is when the compliment is obviously sincere. Y-Chrome inspires obvious sincerity through the barbering abilities of its experienced hair-crafters. The expert head-shapers will treat your tresses with care either before or after you saddle up to one of the shop's pool tables or dartboards with a crisply purchased microbrew in your fist. A quality hair-snipping ($21 value) will add an extra ounce of jauntiness to your winter driving scarf as you turn down Great Hair Boulevard en route to the less fashionable and always serious I-405. After a cut in front of one of Y-Chrome's sports-broadcasting televisions, your jealous cheeks will go from gruff to smoochable with a hot-towel shave ($25 value) administered with professional diligence.
An independent lab of fragrance alchemy, Escential Lotions and Oils spritzes and daubs scent-seekers with essential oils and coordinating bath and body potions. Long-lasting, botanically based, alcohol-free essential oils ($8+) include intensely floral Bulgarian lavender and cool, soothing eucalyptus, said to ward off insects, stuffy noses, and the koala-allergic. Aromatherapy oil blends ($14 per 0.25 oz.) channel such disparate emotions as Broken Heart and Euphoria. Signature scents ($8 per 0.25 oz.; $15 per 0.5 oz.) such as Hot Peach Pie blend into lotion, shampoo, and body wash for a synchronized shower regimen. Ready-to-customize unscented products include a vitamin A, D, and E lotion ($9 per 8 oz.; $15 per 16 oz.) and a coconut-oil-based body wash ($5 per 4 oz.) with exfoliating ground walnut shells to scrub off fossilized temporary tattoos.
The veteran haircutters at Barber Dan's give men a clean, fresh look with precise tress trimming and shaping. Patrons can come in for maintenance on whatever hairdo they currently have or ask for one of the barbershop's standard clips, such as the military cut, fade, flattop, or Benedictine monk. Each haircut includes a hot lather and straight-razor shave around the ears and neck to clean up southbound follicles. Men's head-pampering sessions wrap up with a splash of bay rum for a manly musk light enough to go unnoticed by friends but potent enough to attract former wives of Captain Morgan. Barber Dan's is a walk-in barbershop, where grandfathers, fathers, and sons can bravely confront their shared fear of haircuts.

Otherwise you're just wasting money! Take a Blair Waldorf wannabe, for instance—she'd never look right in the kind of maxi-length, crinkly silk fare one spots at Coachella.
Discovering just which type of fold and length fits your sensibility should be easy with my the helpful guide above. Wearing it will be a breeze, too; along with the actual options, I've included foolproof outfitting tips for wearing each one.

WoW Moviewatch: Ruler of the Bracelet Prologue
If you've never played Alliance-side, you may not get the joke, so I'll enlighten you. One of the male human /sillys goes like this:
So, I have this idea for a great movie. It's about two gnomes who find a bracelet of power, and they have to take it to the Burning Steppes and cast it into the Cauldron. They form the Brotherhood of the Bracelet. Along the way they're trailed by a murloc named Gottum, who's obsessed with the bracelet, and nine bracelet bogeymen. It could be a three-parter, called 'Ruler of the Bracelet'. The first part would be called "The Brotherhood of the Bracelet," followed by "A Couple of Towers," with a climactic ending called "Hey, the King's Back!"
And with that good of a lead-in, it was only a matter of time before someone tried to make their own Ruler of the Bracelet series. I look forward to seeing the rest!

A city proposal asking property owners to quadruple their payments to clean up stormwater pollution would avoid the usual two-thirds vote requirement by conducting the election entirely by mail. Daily News.
The proposal from the city Board of Public Works would ask the city's 788,620 property owners in a mail ballot to increase the amount they tax themselves from $23.04 a year per parcel to $47.16 a year next year and to $99 a month by 2014.
And, despite some complaints from city officials that it is being rushed, two City Council committees are scheduled to take up the plan today. A special joint meeting of the council's Budget and Finance and Energy and Environment committees are to consider taking the next step in the process — allocating $450,000 for the ballots and setting a June 23 hearing on whether to have the election.

Braided Bracelets
Part 2 of 2
The exquisite Japanese art of braid making is called kumihimo (see my past post). Complex patterns are created using tools such as the discs or larger wooden looms. Many jewelry artisans have exploited this technique by adding beads into the interlaced cords to create beautiful bracelets. If you are new to this technique, here are a couple of tutorials using DIY tools to try before you commit to proper kumihimo discs.
1. Cardboard braiding disc
This tutorial is also suitable for younger beaders as only yarn and a piece of cardboard with 8 slits and a hole in the middle are required. It is easy as only 7 strands of yarn are used so there is always one empty slot to guide the braider. How to make friendship bracelets is on Instructables.com and was uploaded by Mangetout.
2. Wooden Braiding Disc
Kiteman on Instructables.com shows you how to make your own wooden disc from 1/4" plywood and proceeds to the weaving instructions all in one tutorial. There is a pdf version but you have to be a member. This one requires 8 strands as for kumihimo. He also wrote the tutorial for the 16 strand bracelet (shown at the top) using the same wooden disc.

1997 Ford Aerostar XLT 4.0L V6 from North America
A super family vehicle
Only thing to date has been a vibration of the air filter & hose in high humidity (35C +).
Might be blower motor.
Love to hear if anyone else has had a similar problem!
Also, have not been able to find out if the engine is equipped with a timing belt or timing chain.
Once again, any info would be appreciated.
General Comments:
Love the comfort, ride and performance.
It's got great power and seats my family very comforatably.
Plus, since it's an extended van, there's plenty of room behind back seat for storage.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
Review Date: 3rd July, 2002
19th Oct 2002, 17:09
It has a timing chain, but they have a tensioner that can make noise. Drive on that motor will last for ever.
1st Dec 2003, 09:45
To answer the reviewer's question of a timing chain or belt.. The 4 liter and 3 liter engines use a chain. They generally last the life of the van. Still, though, they should be changed every 300000 kilometers or every 10 years..
30th Jan 2004, 23:16
I have had the same air-filter box noise on my '97. A dealership told me quite a while back that this was due to some sort of vacuum leak, which they were unable to fix. I had an early '90's XLT that did the same thing. Both that one and my '97 are All-Wheel Drive, so not sure if this situation is limited to just those models or not.
As for the interior, I, too, have had a problem with various panel screws coming loose or falling out. They do need to be monitored from time to time and tightened accordingly.
Mine has 96XXX miles on it and I'm not the original owner. Luckily I've not had too many problems. However, my rear window washer pump will not work when it's very cold outside (appx. 30 degrees or less) ; the pump doesn't even make a sound. Had this problem on my other Aerostar as well. Didn't have checked out (yet) by a dealership.
Great van otherwise, and the AWD function is fabulous. I had a '92 Rear Wheel Drive and it, understandably, had terrible traction on wet pavement, let alone snow/ice, etc. But this is my 3rd Aerostar and I really can't see myself ever driving any other car. Too bad there's no cup holders for passengers in the rear seat (as someone else pointed out), nor is there a passenger side airbag (required for '98 models on up, which could be why Aerostar was discontinued in '97 so to avoid the additional cost/upgrade)

All grain carries molds and fungus. Exposure to these while harvesting/drying/storing grain can cause farmers lung or organic dust toxin syndrome. Some of these molds/fungus make it into the malt that we buy from the LHBS. When malting my own organic barley, I find many of the "red" colored fusarium grains (which I remove). I'm not sure what the greyish/blackish colored grain kernels contain but I remove any that are totally black or that have visible mold fungus on them. (Obviously I can't remove all of them and commercial maltsters have much better malting processes that I do. They also have automated vision systems that remove these grains.) What are the facts on these Mycotoxins? Are they cause for concern when making malt/beer? I've read that Aflatoxin is a carcinogen. (Only facts please, I'm not interested in hearing blanket statements that "nothing survives" in the alchololic environment of beer. That is not a true statement. Fusarium infected beer will cause gushers.) References:http://fyi.uwex.edu/agsafety/confine...uring-harvest/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycotoxinhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusarium
There is a great general information paper on the US National Institutes of Health web site here and another specifically about brewing here with links to the prevalence of specific mycotoxins in various foods. Basically it is more prevalent in nations that lack the health regulations to prevent mycotoxins from being introduced into the general populace's food supply. If one is buying malt from a reputable source grown in a regulated nation like the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the European Nations, etc., the risk of mycotoxin being present is far less. Personally, I'm willing to take my chances.
Are mycotoxins cause for concern? Yes, if I was consuming them in ridiculously large amounts. According to you posted: "An individual would need to consume several hundred liters of beer in one sitting to accumulate a lethal dose of DON" and "In a survey of six studies on mycotoxin contamination in beers worldwide (the studies covered 327 commercial beers from the United States, Canada, and Europe), DON was typically absent from the beers analyzed, suggesting that either FHB was not present at all in the malt or that the malting industry was effective in its screening for the disease. The highest level of DON reported was ... in a German wheat beer..." Also, the abstract of this study suggests that we are at a higher risk of liver cancer when our diet includes a high level of aflatoxins and heavy alcohol consumption. This and this studied the levels of aflatoxins in different beers from around the world. Here's what I take from all of this. Everything in moderation! No surprise there. Also, you may want to stop drinking cheap import beers if you want to reduce your aflatoxin intake, and like zzARzz said, buy your grains from reputable sources. Personally, I consume most things with moderation and that works for me. The thought of mycotixins and other acute toxins are no concern for me as long as I keep a balanced diet. EDIT: Just in case it comes up. Yes, malting, kilning, roasting, mashing, boiling, and alcohol content may kill most fungi, but if they had a chance to produce the toxins beforehand, which are a different thing, they will be in the beer. No amount of boiling will get rid of all of them.
Over the years I've put a ton of information on that issue as well as other safety concerns that nervous noobs stumble upon and freak out about.....The bottom line, except for nervous noobs, very few of us worry about it. We've covered everything even with some citations in this thread. Dangers of Homebrewing And some more info here as well. It covers all the bugaboos that new brewers wanna fear, botulism, mycotoxins, e-coli, zombies....Including just about everything that julioardz brought up....Which are pretty much all the same conclusions. The bottom line is, you can choose to freak out about it OR you can realize that there are billions of folks drinking beer on this planet, and millions of them brewing their own, AND we're all still alive, aren't we?
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends.

I don't know much about mycotoxins related to food in general, but know a little bit about aflatoxins. When you see black mold on the grains, it usually has high levels of aflatoxins. They're cumulative, which means that even smaller amounts can become harmful if ingested repeatedly over prolonged periods of time, and acute reactions are almost unheard of. They're especially damaging to the liver, but thankfully humans have a relatively high tolerance. Aflatoxin producing molds love peanut shells, and peanut butter producers sometimes struggle to keep levels under the FDA threshold. All commercially grown grains that are destined for human consumption are also tested for aflatoxins, and any that test above the threshold are discarded, since they're even more toxic for animals than they are for us. Mesquite pods are also known to carry large amounts of aflatoxin producing molds, and a professor at the local university was hospitalized for acute aflatoxin poisoning after eating a large quantity of mesquite pod pudding that he had made for a study on indigenous foods. If you're worried about aflatoxins and other mycotoxins in beer brewed from home malted grains, you can use bentonite as a fining agent, as it will remove the vast majority of any mycotoxins that might be present (as well as clear your beer). It's used a lot in winemaking, and is available at most homebrew stores. This is what I do when making beers with mesquite pods. Unless you're using mesquite pods or home malted grains or something else that could potentially have a lot of mycotoxins in it, it's not something to worry about IMO. Even then, adding the bentonite is probably overkill, but I figure the alcohol is doing enough damage to my liver, and it's easy enough to add. This is all just my understanding of it, based on talks with a friend and fellow homebrewer who works as a toxicologist.
@JuanMoore - Thank you for the reasonable response. The information you provided is very helpful. I know when malting my grain I've found black/grey grains which I do remove along with the red fusarium grains. Not sure I've ever found aflatoxin as the moldy grains that I remove are usually more greyish than black. It's interesting that you mention bentonite as a fining agent, I'll have to try that. How's mesquite pod beer taste, I'll have to try it sometime, do you have a recipe? I've heard of mesquite wood smoke flavor.
30 posts deleted. Please no more bickering, sorry if anything relevant got axed. Let's not get the thread locked.
Good timing on the question. I'm just preparing to start surveying PA farm fields (wheat and corn stubble) for a new isolate of Fusarium graminiarum that produces higher levels of the tricothecene family of mycotoxins. The upshot is, I would not worry about this as far as malted barley is concerned. The malsters are all up on this and every truckload of grain is being tested. Over the limit, and the maltsters won't buy it. Then if is sold as animal feed - as long as that higher limit is not exceded. The toxins are less of a problem for cows, and even less for chickens. The mycotoxins are fairly stable and some ethanol plants have run into problems disposing of the used distillers grain (largely corn) as their processing results in an accumulation of the mycotoxins in the spent grain so there have been some issues with using that as animal feed. We know a fair bit about the fungus on wheat as we humans eat that directly. We know much less about it in corn and other crops. We need to do more research (and $$ to do said research)
If you are malting your own grain, than this could be an issue. Picking out any reddish grains is advisable. I'm not sure what else they do commercially, but I have heard that they actually will innoculate the grain with lactobacillus as this bacteria has been shown to suppress the growth of other microbes. As the link you provided says, while the roasting will kill the fungus, if there is substantial fungal growth during the malting process, you can get extra mycotoxins produced which could make it into the final product

White Eyeliner – Best, Ways How to Use, Apply, Tricks, and Tips to Wear White Eye Liners
Have you ever used white eyeliners? Would you like to know how to use, apply, wear, tips, tricks, and the best white eyeliner? What about secrets that the finest makeup artists use or have you seen how Lady Gaga does brilliant white eye liner makeup? Get all this in this article.
If you walked to your drugstore, you will notice some sticks of white eyeliner. If you do not know, this is one of the most feared eyeliner because most women do not know how to use it. They are afraid it might make them look awful while it make smaller eyes look bigger! However, if used well, you stand a chance of becoming dramatic and hilarious. Haven't you seen so many celebrities using it and they look awesome? Being a lighter or bright color, it will help highlight your eyes, make them magnificently outstanding. So how do you use this eye liner?
Ways to Use White Eyeliners
Bad use of this can make your eyes glossy, dropping and very big. People with big eyes should be careful when using it. Furthermore, not everyone can use it. If you want to use this liner, here are some of the instances you can use it:
As a Conventional Eyeliner
When applied on inner lash lines, it makes the eyeballs to appear bigger by extending its white color. This use can also be applied on people who have oriental eye type or deep set eyes to help transform their looks to be more tad, bigger and nice looking.
In addition, it could make you look dramatic and very noticeable and it can help reshape your lash line, if you know how to go about it.
However, my general advice is that unless you are an expert in blending white eye liner with other best eyeliner colors, for modeling purposes or when taking modeling photos, avoid it on your lash lines, as you would look awful irrespective of how beautiful your eyes are.
Inner Corner Highlighting
For a pop or awake looks, you can use it in your inner eye corners. If you envy them, opera looks can also be achieved by using this liner on your lower lash lines only.
This will require blending with other types of eyeliners. Using white eye liners in this way will brighten your eyes, and make them look much wider. To apply it, make a V on your inner eye corners using this eyeliner and smudge it or blend it with other colors.
Highlighting Eye Waterlines
Apply this eyeliner it on the inner waterline to make your eyes to look much bigger, if you have small eyes. This is suited for people who have small eyes and they want them to appear bigger.
People who have big eyes should not use the it on their inner lash lines. Their eyes will look bigger and droopy. Just like, you do not want your bust to look saggy; neither should your eyes look that way.
Color layers
You could use it in forming color layers. For instance, you can begin with a thick layer, twice the normal size; follow it with a good brown or black eye liner on top of it about half the thickness. This will create two layers, which will make your eyes to look dramatic and incredible.
Tinting other Eyeshadow
No other eyeliner color can tint or soak eyeshadow colors better than while eyeliner. Are you unable to get a certain shade of color? By lining it and dusting it with that particular color, your color will slightly vary.
Furthermore, your it will help the end result color you have to stay intact the whole day. In fact, people who buy white eye liners and they do not seem to like them after trying can use them as primer or base for other colors. Paint this liner first then cover it with the color you want. This will modify your final appearance.
Shaping Eyebrows and Highlighting Brow Bones
White eyeliners could be used in shaping your eyebrows i.e. apply around your eyebrows to make the shape you want. In addition, you can use it in highlighting brown bones. Apply it below your brown and then slightly smudge it along this bone.
Hiding Blemishes
This eye liner could be perfect in hiding any reddish blemishes on your eyelids especially those caused by dark circles under eyes. You will apply it first before you use your eye concealer. This is particularly important for people whose red lines or marks still appear after applying a concealer.
On your Nails
If your nails are undone, you can use the white eye liner on their tip to make them very neat and bring the French manicure illusion.
On the Brow Bone
To make vivid the color of your eyeshadow, it will be perfect when used on brow bone.
The Best White Eyeliner
Having looked at ways you can use white eyeliner; it is worthwhile look at some of the best white eye liner. This list is not conclusive and if you do not find your favorite brand, you need not to worry.

We are not recommending any of the above best white eyeliners. You need to do your independent research and read white eyeliner reviews and see how they are priced before you can make your own independent choice.
How to Apply White Eyeliner
The steps of using white eyeliner are same, as those on you will follow as you apply any other eyeliner. Whatever is here is just a small addition to ensure you do it correctly.
When applying on the waterline, gently press your eyelid using the back of your finger just below your eyes to see the lower waterline more clearly as the eye will roll out and the waterline will be more visible.
You should then draw a line without freaking out carefully to avoid poking your eye. It will look a little stark at first but you need to blink several times to transfer some of of it to your upper waterline. This will soften it. See how to apply eyeliner with tips, secrets, using some of the best eyeliner brands if you are a newbie.
White Eyeliner Tips, Tricks, and Secrets
You definitely want to look great. Here as some of the tips, secrets and advice that have kept most of the top celebrities looking great in their white eyeliners.
1. Avoid using it on your lash lines without finishing it off with black eyeliner close to your lash lines. Similarly, avoid thick white lines around your entire eyes unless you know the techniques to use as this could make you look like a ghost! However, you have a chance to experiment and see if you like the looks, you get.
2. When applying on your inner lash lines or rims, avoid using too much as the excess might gather at your eye corners after some time and this might make you look terrible.
3. Close-set eyes will be better with white liner around the inner corners. People with wide set eyes should use it on their outer corners to bring their eyes a little closer (inner). Ensure you both smudge as well as blend the line you created.
4. Using white eye liner on your upper lash line and blending it with mascara, especially the brown mascara or black mascara close to your eyelashes will make you look attractive and your eyes will be brightened.
5. For people whom white does not work well with their skin color, they could try silver, pearly off white, gold or champagne eyeliners depending on the choice of other clothing they are wearing.
6. When applying the it on your waterlines or inner lash lines, be careful not to poke your eye.

Picture this: Americans are still sitting there watching TV in black-and-white while, across the ocean, viewers in other countries have had color TV for years already.
That's pretty much the equivalent of what's happening right now with HDTV, or high-definition television, the extraordinary new technology that offers a video picture nearly three times as sharp as today's TV on a wide screen and with digital sound. Americans won't be able to see it in their homes for years; yet the Japanese are watching it today.
Last week, the first home HDTV sets hit stores throughout Japan-at staggering prices ranging from $18,000 to $34,000 per set (because every set is virtually custom-made with exotic new types of components). These prices are a bit steep, considering that there is only one hour of ''Hi-Vision'' currently broadcast each day, and it consists mainly of sports and big events like last month's enthronement of Emperor Akihito. But HDTV broadcast time is due to increase to eight hours in just six months, and the price of the TV sets is expected to drop to $7,500 by 1996.
Japanese companies are legendary for their telescopic long-term planning, and the managements of electronics giants Sony and Matsushita say that HDTV was an important part of their thinking when they bought Columbia Pictures and MCA (parent of Universal Pictures). The thinking reflects the principle of supply and supply: By producing movies in HDTV, as Sony-owned Columbia will do in mid-1991, these ''hardware-software'' hybrids can provide themselves with the entertainment the manufacturers need to sell the HDTV sets they're making. Japanese executives are fond of likening entertainment and technology to two wheels of the same car, and HDTV is clearly part of the Japanese leave-the-driving-to-us program.
In sharp contrast, while high-def is one of the most talked-about subjects in American entertainment circles, so far all it amounts to is talk. Full-speed development of HDTV in the U.S. has been delayed again and again by ongoing wrangling among the video powers over the technical details of a transmission standard. American TV broadcasters and some U.S.-based TV-set manufacturers have been arguing for one HDTV standard, and the Japanese companies have been fighting in favor of another. The deadline set by the FCC for nailing down a U.S. high-def broadcast standard is 1993, and only when this controversy has been resolved will any TV stations be able to telecast a wide-screen Roseanne.
So far there are home HDTV sets only in Japan, but high-definition production facilities seem to be popping up like Bart Simpson dolls worldwide. Recently, the Japanese government-run television network NHK has opened a high-definition production facility in New York. And last month saw the first HDTV Film Festival in Tokyo, featuring everything from computer animation to sports to commercials and attended by HDTV filmmakers from all over the world.
Not all forward-thinking people are revved up about high resolution. U.S. economist George Gilder has called it a ''dog,'' suggesting that American researchers could better spend their time refining more versatile technologies such as fiber optics. Ever-iconoclastic director David Lynch (Twin Peaks, Wild at Heart) finds HDTV simply ''unnecessary.'' Theatrical movies and TV programming ''should be two separate things,'' says Lynch. ''The movies shouldn't look like TV, and TV shouldn't look like the movies.''
They aren't likely to in the U.S. any time soon. In Japan, HDTV has become only a small-scale reality after better than a decade of intense cooperation among a variety of industries and the government. That kind of cooperation is traditional in Japan, but it's practically subversive in the competition-oriented U.S. corporate culture.
Of course, that culture is exactly what the analysts say may change as the Japanese buy out more and more American entertainment companies.

In September of 2009, Miller College invited area educators to take a chance and participate in the first annual Miller College Children's Literature Project (CLP). Over 50 teachers and nearly 1,000 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students joined in as we embarked on a unique book writing and illustration experience. The Project included Michigan author and illustrator David Small and wife and author, Sarah Stewart. Small's art was brought to Battle Creek from the NCCIL in Texas and was on display, alongside the students' book illustrations, at the Art Center of Battle Creek throughout February, 2010. A book signing with David and Sarah and several other local authors was held at the College in March, and the Project concluded with an awards dinner and presentation by Small and Stewart, held at the Holiday Inn in Battle Creek. Every seat in the house was filled with students, families, teachers, principals and interested community members. The Project was a tremendous success and the College decided then to continue this event every year!
In 2010 the Children's Theater Project was introduced. The Theater Project provided an incredible opportunity for high school students to explore a career as a playwright, set designer, costume designer, play director, and much more. Additionally, students had the opportunity to attend workshops at Miller College and work one-on-one with professionals in the field, to turn their scripts into actual play productions. Students were involved in the logistics of the community casting call, character selection, and rehearsals. This was an opportunity to explore every aspect involved in producing a theatrical play.
The following outcomes resulted from the Children's Literature and Theater Project.
For more information on ways you can become involved with this wonderful Project, please contact Miller College 269-660-8021.

To Your Health: Learning about healthy foods is kids' stuff
BY THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY January 14, 2014 12:58PM
Chicken burgers are healthy, and it's easy for kids to help make. | File photo
One healthy
Looking for some good, kid-friendly recipes? Try the American Cancer Society Kids' First Cookbook. See our recipe below, which kids of all ages can help prepare.
Chicken burgers
1 pound ground chicken breast
1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
Salt and pepper to taste
Nonfat cooking spray
Eight whole-wheat hamburger buns
In a bowl, mix ground chicken, carrots and onions together. Add egg, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. Mush it all together really well! Make eight round patties from the mixture.
Preheat a large skillet on the stove (for about 3 minutes on high), then coat skillet with cooking spray. Lower the stove temperature to medium-high.
Place patties in skillet and cook on each side until brown and cooked throughout.
Updated: February 16, 2014 6:07AM
Bringing kids into the kitchen to help prepare food is a natural way to introduce a conversation about healthy food choices.
With 1 in 3 American children overweight or obese, learning to eat healthier is more important than ever. Being overweight or obese puts children at risk for future diabetes, heart disease and even cancer.
Children of all ages can get involved.
Preschoolers can help select ingredients from the fridge or pantry and help with stirring. They can drop fruit chunks into the blender to make a smoothie or sprinkle cheese and vegetables on a homemade whole-wheat crust pizza.
Talk about how these healthy foods make your body grow big and strong, and how eating yummy, good-for-you food makes big muscles and strong bones.
School-aged children can put their math skills to the test by measuring out ingredients, or they can use their fine motor skills to crack eggs for an omelet, roll their own lean meatballs, or cut soft fruit with a butter knife. Because they can handle conversation that's more in-depth, talk about how healthy foods make the systems in their bodies — including their muscles, heart, blood and bones — work well, and how healthy bodies now will make them healthier adults. You can explain that foods that aren't good for you are OK once in a while but shouldn't replace the foods their bodies really need.
Tweens and teens can use a sharper knife and might be ready to use the stove or oven on their own. Let them choose a recipe and take the lead in preparing it, from finding the ingredients at the market to delivering the finished product.
Be careful how you talk about healthy choices with this age group. Studies show that when parents focus on body weight in conversations about health, teens are more likely to diet, go on food binges and use unhealthy weight-control behaviors such as fasting. But if parents focus more generally on healthy eating, teens are less likely to try drastic means to lose weight.
The best way to get through to your tweens or teens is to be a role model: Eat healthy yourself, show that you're enjoying your food, and most important, keep healthy foods in the house and limit junk food so they have good options at hand.
