"The family really enjoyed this recipe. Very easy, simply and tasty. I have made this a couple of times and will be making it again tonight. Thanks, Chef Shapeweaver, for sharing!"
"So funny to find this recipe. I have been making various versions of this recipe for years. I just came up with it myself. Great minds think alike. I butterfly open the breast, put it in a gallon size zip lock bag, and pound it out with the flat side of a meat mallet to about a 1/2 inch thick. It cooks quicker and more evenly while still staying v..."
"I made this roast in an electric turkey roaster. Everything came out beautifully except roast wasn't tender even after 5 hours. This was my first time to use the roaster, so I don't know if it was operator error or the roaster just doesn't work as well for a beef roast as a turkey. Next time I will use the oven and see if I can give..."
"Made this dish tonight andwhole family LOVED IT, even the picky daughter. Followed the recipe as written, though I think next time I will leave out the extra salt. (Personal taste.) I think the chicken broth I used had enough salt in it to do the trick. I think this might also be good with frozen or fresh peas added,or maybe some leftover diced ch..."
"Made this with salmon last night. Fabulous! Left out the sesame oil cuz the daughter doesn't like it. Tastes great without it. Had it with Marinated Cucumbers, Onions, and Tomatoes (recipe # 94964.) What a great, low cal, low cholesterol dinner on a hot Summer day. Food.com rocks!"
"Family loved this recipe! We had it last night with 4th of July Grilled Salmon (recipe # 125897.) My hubby doesn't like cukes, so I made it with zucchini instead. Tasted just as good as when I made it with the cukes. What a wonderful, low cal, low cholesterol meal for a hot Summer day."

Newest Features: Gold Mining in Alaska and Canada Alaska and the far north, known for historic gold rushes and current mining opportunities, offer the chance to pan for gold and to learn about recreational gold mining. Locals and visitors alike can get caught up in the hunt for this elusive yet valuable (more than $1,200 per ounce at press time!) metal. It is important to familiarize yourself with the current regulations before you begin. Panning, sluicing and suction dredging on private property, established mining claims or on Alaska Native owned lands is considered trespassing unless you have the consent of the owner. Recreational gold panning, mineral prospecting or mining using light portable field equipment (e.g. hand-operated pick, shovel, pan, earth auger or backpack power drill or auger) is allowed without mining claims in designated recreational mining areas managed by the Dept. of Natural Resources. Motorized gold panning on public lands set aside for recreational mining and panning is not allowed. This means, if you wish to do some gold panning of your own, you'll need to do it with gold pans, or sluice and rocker boxes. Sluice boxes are available at many Alaska sporting goods stores or online from Micro-Sluice Gold Products. For further information on working streams on public lands, check out the Bureau of Land Management's website. Panning can be a great outdoor activity, but to ensure that you have a good experience you'll need the proper equipment. Plan on dressing in layers to prepare for changing temperatures; carry effective rain gear and waterproof boots; have insulated gloves for working in Alaska's ice cold streams; and have plenty of bug spray on hand. There are public lands in Southcentral set aside for recreational gold panning, such as on the Kenai Peninsula, where 4 different gold producing creeks are known to provide "colors" or gold: Bertha Creek at Milepost S 65.4 Seward Highway; Sixmile Creek on the Hope Highway; Resurrection Creek, off the Hope Highway; and Crescent Creek (Quartz Creek Road off the Sterling Highway). This is an informative document on this area and opportunities for mining. |

Hello All, I have a dog kennel/runner that I really want to cover with vines..to hide my shed in the background (and my ugly dog house..heheh) But the plants I have there now I am just not happy with...not to mention I am not a gardener ...at all!!! Home Depo loves me, I buy plants by the dozen , cause I have a hard time keeping them alive:) Went through 3 nite blooming Jasmines, and now this one too is not looking good!!
Any how here is my site that shows the kennel...need to know what I can put that will be full and green? That way it will give my little ones shade when there in there. Thanks Carole hawaii50mom |
Here is a link that might be useful: Dog kennel
Follow-Up Postings:
Thunbergia. Fast, full and lots of flowers. Let me know if you would like more. |
- Posted by hawaii50mom 11Hawaii (My Page) on Sat, Mar 13, 04 at 3:29
Thanks Konaphil:) Is it the same as the blackeyed susan vine? I was looking into that vine, also my hubby say's the other one is a pest plant? (whatever that means) but does not want me growing it becouse he say's it will get out of hand?.... So, Other options? :) |
One variety of thunbergia is called blackeyed susan vine. By pest i assume he means it is aggressive, spreads a lot and is hard to control. It is aggressive. In the situation you show in your picture, it should be easy to control. It can't grow anywhere but up and over the top. There is nothing for side shoots to attach to, so would be easy to keep pruned. Blue Jade and red jade vine is similar, but much slower and easier to control and has striking blooms. The blooms make outstanding lei's. Passion Fruit; but, that is more aggressive than thunbergia. Pothos (Epiprumnum pinnatum) is a basic. Leaves will grow to 18" long or more. They are green and white or all green. Very neat by itself, or could be mixed with other vines. Some of the Philodendron's. Jasmine, but you would have to keep winding it through the fence. Tomato. Check these out and let me know. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Tara!
Facts about Tara
- Breed: Husky/Collie Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Tara's Info...
I am housetrained, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
This beauty named Tara came to the shelter today because her owner cant take care of her anymore.
Tara is a real sweet dog, that is starving for attention. she walks nicley on the leash but still requieres some training. According to her prev. Owners she knows : sit, lay down and shake. She also has a seperation Anxiety and will whine when you leave her, thats also something to work on.
With a little bit of patience and some work, maybe obedience school tara would make a awesome family dog since she loves children all ages and other dogs. She is NOT good with cats.
Tara is 18 m old, intact, microchipped and UTD on her vaccines.
Tara 's Adoption Fee is $82, which includes: Microchip, Vaccines ( Distemper & Rabies), Heartwormtest and deworming.
If you're interested please call (785)239-6183! If no one answers then please leave a message! You can also contact us via email at firstname.lastname@example.com
Act quickly to adopt Tara. Pets at this Shelter may be held for only a short time.
Other Pets at Fort Riley Stray Facility
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tara, a Fort Riley Husky/Collie dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Husky/Collie for sale in Fort Riley, or seeking a Husky/Collie dog from a breeder in Fort Riley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Fort Riley already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Fort Riley breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Husky/Collie breeders who help with Husky/Collie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Fort Riley paves the way for another one to be saved.

"People ask me: why do you write about food, and eating and drinking? Why don't you write about the struggle for power, security and love, the way others do? They ask it accusingly, as if I were somehow unfaithful to the honour of my craft. The easiest answer is, like most other humans, I am hungry. But there is more than that. It seems that our three basic needs, for food, security and love, are so mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the other. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it...and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied...and it is all one. I tell about myself, and how I ate bread on a lasting hillside, or drank red wine in a room now blown to bits, and it happens that I am telling too about the people with me then, and their other deeper needs for love."
Fisher was on to something: Food has become hugely important these days. It used to be that foodies could name on one hand the restaurants for which America was famous (and I'm talking Chez Pannise/Rainbow Room/Four Seasons famous, not "most famous BBQ in Dudley, Oklahoma" famous). Today, celebrated restaurants are everywhere. Same with chefs. Once we had only a few who were truly shaping cuisine, who could get up under the klieg lights on Good Morning America without millions of Midwestern housewives saying, "Who the heck is he, and what's he doing to that poor chicken?" Now you can't swing a dead cat in the offices of any major TV network without hitting a Bobby Flay, an Emeril Lagasse, a Rocco DiSpirito or a Mario Batali. (It's not that some of those guys don't deserve to be hit with a dead cat -- but you try sneaking one through security these days.)
Food drives the network morning shows and spawns reality TV, movies and celebrities. Gourmet porn is big, with dozens, if not hundreds, of new cookbooks hitting the shelves every month, and food magazines outnumber all the gun, car and confession rags combined. Back in the day, if you had a culinary-arts degree, it came from one of two places: Johnson & Wales (which turned out mostly mid-level hotel managers and some decent front-of-the-house floormen) or the Culinary Institute of America (which spewed forth cooks, almost exclusively, who were of little or no use to any working kitchen). Now C-school grads can come from anywhere.
On the one hand, this is decent news. Food service is my field (both as a chef and as a critic), and I like to see the business doing well. When some 29-year-old line cook from South Jersey hits it big, gets his own Food Network show, his own cookbook, his own fan club, I'm happy for him. Especially if he deserves it. God knows that if the man in the thousand-dollar suit ever came knocking at my door and told me that NBC was interested in doing a series about a chain-smoking, foul-mouthed, ex-chef-turned-restaurant-critic in Denver, I'd sign my name so fast the contract would catch fire.
On the other hand, there's a downside to food's new popularity -- an ugly, desperate, obscene, almost atavistic streak that's turned cooking into a commodity and the restaurant game into a blood sport. In this culture, one successful dish can launch a whole line of trademarked frozen dinners. One appearance on the Today show can find your grinning mug plastered all over your own brand of custom spice blends. Diners become more obsessed with getting a prime table at the week's hot boîte than with what they might be eating; food trends sweeping out of PR firms each quarter are greedily snapped up by menu designers frantic for the next big thing; chefs expand their empires on the backs of new cookbooks or on the advice of their publicity pros -- not necessarily because they are so loved they need a second dining room just to hold all of their fans.
It happened (and continues to happen) in the world of professional sports, where there are guys playing not for any love of the game, but with their hearts in their agents' pockets, eyes stuck firmly on the next big endorsement deal, their ass belonging to Nike. It happened (and will always happen) in the music industry. And now it's happening with food.
Which is why it's important to remember those lines from M.F.K. Fisher. She said better (and more briefly) what I've been trying to say since I started this gig: that because the best cooking is about love and pride and history and memory, when I write about food, I'm writing about all of those things, and more.

Infectious Diseases Research Program (MIDRP), with particular emphasis on current disease priorities, vaccine product development, and the role of the MIDRP not only within the framework of the overall Military Acquisition model, but also among other Federal government infectious disease programs; (5) reviewing the roles, if any, that the MIDRP should play in the licensure, manufacture, and distribution of vaccines against diseases of military importance, in the context of current interrelationships within DoD and among other federal agencies, industry, and university research activities; and (6)developing recommendations for a comprehensive strategy and doctrine that MIDRP and DoD could adopt to best use their resources to contribute toward the goal of effective development, licensure, production, stockpiling, distribution, and use of vaccines against naturally occurring diseases of military importance. Other issues regarding vaccine strategies against infectious diseases are likely to be brought to the attention of the committee by the DoD.
Based on their pre-committee experience, committee members believed that DoD's current administrative separation of acquisition processes for vaccines intended to protect against naturally occurring infectious diseases and acquisition of vaccines for defense against biological warfare is scientifically—and likely organizationally—unsound. The challenges of vaccine research and development are similar for both natural and weaponized sources of infectious agents. Moreover, some of the agents are the same and vaccines remain a preferred defense for both. Thus, although this report initially was intended to address only naturally occurring infectious disease threats, because vaccine policy concerns related to biodefense are inseparable from those dealing with naturally occurring disease threats, the committee has touched on issues pertaining to the acquisition of biodefense vaccines in this report when pertinent.
In addition, the committee has interpreted the charge's reference to "defining and prioritizing the diseases of relevance to the U.S. military" as a request to address how DoD should approach the issue of prioritization, rather than a request for the committee to offer a list of specific threats, diseases, or needed vaccine products.
The IOM committee met six times. It held open sessions at its first five meetings, hearing presentations from military personnel, those familiar with the vaccine industry, and infectious disease and vaccine experts. The committee used those briefings, its review of background material, and its members' past experiences and expertise in its deliberations.
The committee notes that various documents and individuals within government—including the Department of Defense (DoD)—and elsewhere use the term acquisition variably. For the purposes of its discussions, the committee defined acquisition as the process by which DoD ensures that appropriate vaccines are available for the protection of its forces. This process represents a continuum extending from the first recognition of need for a vaccine, through the setting of priorities, to the maintenance of a technology base. It includes internally conducted or externally contracted product-oriented research, advanced product development, and clinical studies leading to licensure. It also involves the estab-

HIS 350L • Decolonizatn of Brit Empire-W
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |

Course Description
This seminar is designed as a reading and research course in modern British history and in the history of Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. Above all it is a class in professional writing that fulfills the requirement for the substantial writing component for the B.A. The transformation from the European colonial empires into sovereign nations is one of the great themes in the modern history of the world. Originally in 1945 there were 50 members of the United Nations, today there are 191. This seminar devotes attention to a vital component of decolonization by focusing on the end of the British Empire, which at the end of World War II still extended over one fourth of the world and represented a complex, worldwide system including territories acquired during every stage of colonization since the sixteenth century. The main requirement of the course is a research paper focusing on one of the three components of British decolonization: the decisions made in Britain itself; the international influence of the United and the United Nations in the context of the Cold War; and the initiatives by nationalists in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. The paper in its final form will be about 6,000 words or 20 double spaced pages including notes. The substantial writing requirement will be fulfilled in two ways. First, drafts of each of the papers will be circulated to all members of the class who make annotations on style as well as substance. The second stage is for each writer to take note of the critiques offered by others and to rewrite the paper for final submission. The principal primary source on which the papers will be based is the extraordinary archival collection in British Documents on the End of Empire (BDEEP). The class sessions will be enriched by a film series produced by Granada Television entitled 'End of Empire'. In a general way, the seminar upholds the principles of the Modern History Faculty at Oxfordto enhance (1) intellectual curiosity, (2) conceptual clarity; (3) flexibility, that is the capacity to engage with alternative perspectives and new information; (4) accuracy and attention to detail; (5) critical engagement; (6) capacity for hard work (7) enthusiasm for history, literature, and politics; and (8) historical imagination and understanding, that is the ability to speculate and compare, alongside the possession of appropriate historical knowledge and the capacity to deploy it.
Reading List:John Darwin, Britain and Decolonisation: The Retreat from Empire in the Post-War World; and W. David McIntyre, British Decolonization, 1946-1997: When, Why and How did the British Empire Fall? Plus these articles: Ronald Hyam, "The British Empire in the Edwardian Era" D. A.

I was surfing the NIH National Library of Medicine's Website looking for visitor information, when I stumbled onto: Harry Potter's World - Renaissance Science, Magic, and Medicine Even if you haven't seen the latest movie, this online exhibit provides an interesting contrast between life at Hogwarts and the science of the 15th and 16th Centuries. There are resources for teachers, too. This exhibit will be traveling to libraries nationwide from September 2009 to January 2011, hopefully to a location near you. BTW - if you're in the DC area, there are three more chances to see this sort of science fact versus movie fiction discussion live at Science in the Cinema. |

Jepsen: Testing the Partition Tolerance of PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB and Riak
Distributed systems are characterized by exchanging state over high-latency or unreliable links. The system must be robust to both node and network failure if it is to operate reliably--however, not all systems satisfy the safety invariants we'd like. In this article, we'll explore some of the design considerations of distributed databases, and how they respond to network partitions.

Review: Electric Daisy Carnival, 6/11/11
"When the smoke machines ran out, someone -- and by 'someone,' I mean a complete fucking idiot -- blasted the room with a fire extinguisher, sending a sweet poison into the eyes and mouths of everyone."
06.11/11 | Arapahoe County Fairgrounds
View the Electric Daisy Carnival slideshow
The Electric Daisy Carnival started off pretty early in the afternoon with opening sets getting started around 3 p.m. The carnival rides that lined the south border of the show were just this side of pathetic, exemplified by the notable lack of a Ferris wheel. I mean, c'mon, how can you call this thing a carnival without a Ferris wheel? Seems blasphemous. Just the same, the rides that were there were vomit-inducing enough to pass, I suppose.
The carnival festivities kicked off with an opening set by Ant-Ten-Nae at the Circuit Grounds stage. His use of unique controllers is cool because his range of musical effects is broader and different than most, but beyond that, there was really nothing that impressive about the set. The problem with these big festivals is that they pack so many great artists on the bill that you end up taking a risk seeing one set versus another. With this in mind, after hearing that I missed LA Riots in favor of Ant-Ten-Nae, I was pretty bummed.

Eliot Lipp brought things up a tad with a live drummer, but the sound at the Circuit Ground stage just wasn't that good. Actually, all of the stages except for the Neon Garden were a bit on the quiet side. Adding a live drummer is becoming more of a regular occurrence these days for DJs, giving their sets more of a live feel. After a bit of Lipp, I moved over into the Bass Pod to catch a bit of Downlink's set, which offered a welcome change of pace from complicated, electro-drum and bass into straight grimy dubstep. Downlink was smooth. He played a couple of new tracks that had been produced specifically for EDC.

By chance, I was offered a chance to sit down with Sander Van Doorn minutes before his set in the dressing room. Nothing huge -- the interview was rather last-minute -- but he obliged and gave me a few words on EDC and touring to support his new album Dusk Till Doorn. Here's some excerpts from our chat.
EDC offers a chance to spread one's wings. See more photos from the Electric Daisy Carnival.
Westword: Is this your first time playing a big show like this in Denver?Sander Van Doorn: This is my time at a big show like this, but I've played Beta a few times, and I love playing out here.
Did you just get in today?
Yeah! I played Atlanta last night. It was absolutely roasting, but it was great.
Your on tour promoting your upcoming release of "Dusk Till Doorn." How's that going, and what have been some memorable stops for you?
Well, New York was just amazing, and I've got three more stops in Vegas coming up in the next month or so. I really enjoy playing here, Americans are really educated on their music.
All right, looks like the time is coming up, so let's switch it up a bit. What are three things you absolutely cannot tour without?
Oh, man. Let's see: I definitely can't get around without some Red Bull. I've recently switched from CDs to USB drives for all my music, so I can't make it without those. And for the third, clothes. Got to have all my clothes.
And finally, what do you think of dubstep and how popular it's getting?
It's definitely in a category all its own. It's not what I usually implement in my songs, but I've recently thrown in some dubstep-style breaks, and the crowd responds really well. Dubstep in the U.S. is a little different than, say, in the U.K. The U.K. is little bit more laid-back compared to the likes of Skrillex, which is very energetic.
After chatting with Van Doorn, I made my way back over to the Kinetic Field for the end of Kaskade's set. Kaskade is just damn lovely. Most of his tracks feature a sexy voice whispering something about being loved, loving someone or just something really positive. It gave the crowd a much-needed vocal break from the high energy electro-house and provided everyone a moment to throw their hands up for a massive sing-a-long.
Photo: Brandon Marshall Dancin' at the EDC. See more photos from the Electric Daisy Carnival.
Van Doorn was making his way into the Field house for his set as 12th Planet was taking the stage in the Bass Pod. I stuck around Van Doorn's set for about thirty minutes on the front line, taking in all that he was giving out. If his upcoming album is anything like this set, Dusk Till Doorn is going to be pretty hot.

Frances Messina of Bristol Boro passed away Wednesday, June 11, 2014, at Lower Bucks Hospital. She was 92.
Born and raised in Bristol, she will be missed by all but never forgotten and forever shared an important part in our hearts. Frances believed family was the most important part of life. This was best exemplified by her untiring care for her husband, Philip though out his extended illness.
In her younger years, Frances enjoyed vacationing and golfing with her husband and friends. More than a homemaker she was a caretaker. As a Bristol native Frances found comfort from the local parish St. Ann. She is especially grateful to Father James, Father Girard, and Father Tom.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Philip, of 63 years; her sisters, Catherine and Phyllis; and her brothers, Peter and Vincent. Frances will be greatly missed by her children, Joseph Messina and his wife, Kathleen, and Phyllis Messina Gottschalk; her five grandchildren, Mary, Christine, Melissa, Joseph and Michael. She will also be greatly missed by her great grandchildren, Jack, Liam, Dylan, Frances, and Kathleen; her sister, Agnes Polizzi; and many nieces and nephews.
Relatives and friends are invited to call from 9 to 10:45 a.m. Wednesday June 18, at the Galzerano Funeral Home, 430 Radcliffe St., Bristol, PA 19007. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11:15 am in St. Ann Church. Interment will follow in Washington Crossing National Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the charity of your choice. Galzerano Funeral Home

We already handle things this way in ruby (with a common 'all' and specific version builds). For 9c I can't see us limiting users to a single ruby implementation by default (the only current exception is www-apache/passenger), so a combined ||() block makes no sense to me. I think it is better to be explicit here and express the real situation with multiple ||() blocks if needed. Finally, I don't expect ruby to use this unless we can ensure that this works with our current ebuilds without changes. I'm fine with supporting some code in the eclass to determine which mechanism to use in which way, but we won't be spending huge amounts of time switching to yet another system. To me the perceived benefits aren't big enough. Kind regards, Hans

We also recommend that all people in the household (including children) come in to meet the animal before adoption.
We do not adopt out animals as gifts to others. Gift certificates for the price of an adoption can be purchased at the front adoptions building.
Adopting animals is a lot of responsibility, but it is also a wonderful experience. We want to ensure that you pick an animal that truly matches your lifestyle, so we do ask that you arrive by 5:30 in order to really get to know your new family member. We will be happy to continue any adoption paperwork the following day.

My husband and I are trying to modernize our kitchen on a very small budget. We were recently searching for floor tile when we came across quartz counter top slabs at a Chinese shop. We got a price quote, and with installation, it will cost us around $1200. We were amazed with the price as we thought we couldn't afford new counters at this time, but i guess we could squeeze and extra grand if we finance more appliances. For a price comparison we got a quote from the least expensive Cesar Stone dealer, the price triples. We were removing our old counter last weekend, when the sample of the Chinese quartz fell and a corner of it broke off and shuttered. This is raising red flag with us. Isn't quarts supposed to be one of the strongest materials? on the other hand, it fell of the counter height, and we are not planning on dropping our new counter top. Do you think it's safe to proceed our choice of a generic brand? We need to make a decision fast as we don't have a countertop at the moment. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I didn't even know generic man made quartz is available. Personally, I would be against it, not because of durability (the brand name stuff can also chip), but because of safety. Who knows what kind of unregulated chemical or dye they put in the resin. |
Quartz itself is one of the strongest materials. HOWEVER - when you are talking about a "quartz" countertop, you are talking about "engineered stone." It is NOT solid quartz. It is 93% quartz chips and 7% resin (or at least that's the formula that the big manufacturers use - who knows what the Chinese use). I got Chinese quartz quoted and it was not cheaper than the Caesarstone I really wanted, plus I did find bad reviews when I googled the Chinese quartz, so we went with Caesarstone. |
Google "quartz resin pooling." A bad batch can and does happen to every quartz countertop manufacture but it seems to be a much bigger problem with generic and you are left holding the bag on warranty when trying to remedy the situation. When I got quotes the Chinese stuff was only about 15% cheaper than Cambria and Ceasarstone here in Los Angeles. Where are you located? |
- Posted by lolittakat (My Page) on Thu, Oct 18, 12 at 14:44
We are in San Francisco, and we do have "cheaper" places to shop around here. For example the floor tile that i got quoted $4.50-$5/sqf we were able to buy for $1.99, and it's EXACTLY the same. But since the counter is off brand, it worries me way too much. If we don't find a good deal, the only other option we have is re-installing our old ugly colored corian that was chosen by previous owner :( |
- Posted by Caspian101 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 18, 12 at 16:41
a large local development went with the cheaper chinese 'quartz' product...the quartz/resin proportions were 70/30, a far cry from the industry standard of 93/7 for the main brands. This development has had tons of problems with the counter tops...they looked good to start but they have not performed well over time. Now, China makes a lot of stuff (really :-) ) and different manufacturers there may have different ratios, so you will need to determine if this batch is of the better high quartz type or the other. Notwithstanding the wage costs in china (which are rising fast) there are generally other reasons why some products from china are so much cheaper... caveat emptor capian |

We have several photos and videos from March 2014 of Candace.
Because we only have this child's file for a short time, she will not be able to receive donations until a family is found for her.

Despite an injury plagued 2010 season, the Milwaukee Brewers have rewarded former Cal Poly baseball star Logan Schafer.
The Brewers invited the 24 year old Schafer and three other minor leaguers to Spring Training as non-roster players.
Schafer was the Brewers' minor-league player of the year in 2009, but he missed nearly all of 2010 with a couple of injuries. First, he suffered a groin pull that evolved in to a sports
hernia, then he broke his foot. The Brewers drafted the outfielder in the third round of the 2008 MLB Draft.
He is the third player with ties to the Central Coast invited to spring training in the last week. The Kansas City Royals invited Lompoc native Danny Duffy to their camp. St.joseph High graduate Doug Bernier received an invite by the New York Yankees.
Schafer is one of several former Mustangs, who will take part in Spring Training, which starts next month. Third baseman Brent Morel has a chance to win the starting job with the Chicago White Sox. Four former Cal Poly pitchers will also look to lock up spots on opening day rosters. Lefty Garrett Olson is back with the Mariners, Bud Norris should open in the starting rotation with Houston, Kevin Correia will be with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Casey Fien will open camp with the Houston Astros.

The examiner will walk out from behind the blue door and call the name of the candidate, ask the candidate to sign the test form to authenticate being insured to drive the car (all driving school cars should be insured to cover any driver), and then ask to see the necessary documents, which are driving licence, theory pass certificate, and, if appropriate, some form of identification.
The candidate will then be asked to lead the way to the car, pausing on the way for the statutory eyesight test (read a number plate from 20 metres, or 67 feet).
The test itself will take about 40 minutes, starting and ending in the test centre car park, which is just a short walk from the waiting room.
At the end of the test, the candidate will be told the result, and, pass or fail, will receive a de-briefing from the examiner.
Good Luck!

Add Bow Wow & Trey Songz to ST5
This is a petition that allows Bow Wow and Trey Songz to be added to scream tour 5. I'm starting this because i think it's only right for Bow Wow to be added to the tour after all..he was one of the original scream tour members. Now i think Trey Songz should be added simply because he doesnt get enough credit for his music. If he gets to be on the tour he will earn way more credit and get the respect he needs and deserves.

What happens when you wake up one morning and realize that you are not where you want to be in terms of retirement? That's a situation many people find themselves in.
Your best bet is saving early and often. But if you are nearing your desired retirement age, you might need to move into retirement mode if you haven't been saving for as long as you would like. If you find yourself in need of last-minute retirement planning, here are some tips to help you make the best of the current situation:
1. Maximize your employer match. If your company offers a match, you should check to make sure you are maximizing it. It's free money for you. If you aren't getting the maximum match, you should do what it takes to get that match.
In fact, this late in the game, you need to boost your retirement account contributions as much as you can afford to. If you already have maxed out a 401(k), open an IRA (traditional or Roth) so you can make additional tax-advantaged contributions.
2. Catch-up contributions. If you are over age 50, you have the chance to make catch-up contributions. If you have reached the point where you are maxing out your retirement accounts (and hopefully you are to that point at this juncture), and you are eligible, it's time to put in some catch-up contributions in order to help the cause.
3. Look into index funds or ETFs. Even this late in the game, you might be able to benefit from the right asset allocation. Index funds and index ETFs offer a degree of diversity, are low cost, and can provide you with a decent amount of growth. Additionally, dividend stocks can provide you with a way to ramp up your portfolio. A dividend reinvestment plan can provide automatic reinvestment to compound your gains.
It's a good idea to consult a knowledgeable financial professional about your risk tolerance before making this decision. Getting an unbiased view of what investments might be appropriate for your situation will help your efforts to retire in your desired time frame.
4. Consider working longer. For some would-be retirees, a longer career is a necessity. If you've started saving too late, you might need a few extra years to build your nest egg a little bit. This doesn't mean that you have to work full time. You might be able to manage working part time, or on a freelance or consulting basis. Even a home-based business might be an option. Look at the alternatives, and determine how you might put off living only on your nest egg for a little bit longer.
5. Downsize your lifestyle. Another reality is that you might need to downsize your lifestyle if your nest egg is insufficient for your current needs. In some cases, if you don't want to work a little bit longer, you might need to re-evaluate your expenses. Selling some items, selling your home and moving into a smaller place, and perhaps adjusting your view of retirement might be necessary if your nest egg isn't keeping pace.

Ford has recalled certain 1990-1992 Taurus, Mercury Sable, and Lincoln Continental vehicles in cold weather, high corrosion states to replace the brake rotors. The original rotors on the vehicle can easily corrode and separate, causing a potential braking safety issue. Dealers will replace the front rotors with full cast iron rotors.
Ford Recalls
Ford has recalled certain 1992 Taurus and Mercury Sable station wagons for an issue with the liftgate latch mechanism. In some cases, the secondary liftgate latch will not operate, which may cause the liftgate to open without operator action. If the liftgate opens without operator action, cargo or occupants may fall out. Dealers will replace the liftgate latch.
Ford has recalled certain 1991 Explorer vehicles because a front heat shield could be contacting the fuel tank. The heat shield could rub on the tank and cause a leak. Dealers will relocate the heat shield and inspect the tanks for damage and wear.
Ford has recalled certain 1991 Explorer vehicles because the weld mounting the vapor vent valve to the top of the fuel tank could fracture, causing the vapor leak. Fuel vapor leaks could lead to a fire. Dealers will remove the fuel tank and inspect it for integrity. If the weld is found to be inadequate, the tank will be replaced.
Ford has recalled certain 1991 Explorer vehicles for a possible issue with the rear bumper support. In some cases, the support could crack, resulting in a potential detachment of the bumper, which could cause injury. Dealers will install two brackets to secure the bumper reinforcement.

Washington Redskins Coach Jay Gruden will be keeping the power zone scheme, and the Redskins running backs herd has become overcrowded with a stable of talent. The starter is Alfred Morris, and that seems to be fairly stable. But the rest of the backfield is giving way to a tighter competition with the addition of Lache Seastrunk out of Baylor and the return of Chris Thompson from the IR.
In 2012, Alfred Morris carried the ball for 335 times in his rookie campaign, and that type of workload can ultimately result in the type of hits that end careers prematurely. In 2013, his carries went down by 60 carries to 275, as a healthy Roy Helu Jr. saw a bit more playing time.
Keeping Morris under 300 carries for a season will add some life to the wear and tear of his body and keep him fresh for any, ahem, playoff runs.
Helu Jr. has the spell back position locked up among Redskins running backs, but in OTA's there has been a buzz about Lache Seastrunk and the athletic ability he brings to the table. Seastrunk will be expected to play on special teams and contribute a lot to the unit. While Seastrunk has looked lost at times, he continues to show flashes during training camp with his speed and ability to break away from the pack.
If Seastrunk can grasp the playbook, he could make the roster. If not, he's bought a one-way ticket to the practice squad.
Doing so does make Seastrunk available for a team to sign him away to their active roster, so that has to be in the mind of Coach Gruden and GM Bruce Allen. This coaching staff has no ties to Roy Helu Jr. and could likely be pushed to the back of the pack if he gets complacent especially because of his injury history.
SOW caught up with Lache Seastrunk after Wednesday's OTAs: check out his comments here (with an audio-bomb from Morgan Moses):
Chris Thompson might be more of a staple for the special teams unit as a returner and punt returner, but his inconsistency holding on to the ball and his questionable decision making will have to improve for him to be trusted. He certainly has the speed and ability to take it to the house on either punts or kickoffs and still be a legitimate pass catching back in certain packages.
If Thompson is not able to secure the football and show the coaches that he has the ability to be trusted on special teams as a returner, then his NFL career among the Redskins running backs might be shorter lived than he thought.
Evan Royster could be the odd man out at this point with the Redskins running backs getting faster overall. His slow 40 time and inability to adapt to the speed of the NFL game will most likely see his tenure with the Redskins come to an end.
While Royster has played Special Teams as a backup for the return man which will most likely be taken over by another running back (Darrel Young) or Niles Paul because of their blocking abilities. Royster will have to show a lot for him to make the 53 man roster — Gruden has no ties to him and will need to impress to be a part of the Redskins running backs this season.
His position on the depth chart is ultimately predicated on a numbers game: divide his performance by how many backs Coach Gruden wants to carry into the season.
Silas Redd is also fighting for a position spot on the roster, but at this point he might be stashed on the practice squad. Redd was an undrafted free agent out of USC who transferred from Penn State. He eventually got buried on the depth chart last season at USC and saw limited time due to the emergence of Javorius "Buck" Allen and Tre Madden for the Trojans.
The real question is how many Running backs are going to be carried for this season? Mike Shanahan liked to have a deep depth chart when it came to the running backs; Jay Gruden may be different. Either way, the one time glamour position of the NFL running back is becoming a dime a dozen post as the league continues its climb to a pass first party.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Baily!
Facts about Baily
- Breed: American Bulldog Mix
- Color: White - With Brown Or Chocolate
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Baily's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Baily is about 9-10mos old and 70lbs already. She was rescued after being abandoned in a crate in a backyard when her owners moved. She is an absolute sweetheart and loves to play and is great with all dogs, big and small. All our dogs are raised with foster families and socialized with other pets and usually kids as well. Adoption donation of $300 to help with expenses of spay, all vaccines, deworming, microchip, heartworm testing, health certificate and professional grooming. Feel free to email us for an application!
Other Pets at Saving Paws of Washington
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Baily, a Seattle American Bulldog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Bulldog for sale in Seattle, or seeking a American Bulldog dog from a breeder in Seattle.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Seattle already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Seattle breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Bulldog breeders who help with American Bulldog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Seattle paves the way for another one to be saved.

Andy Burnham, the culture secretary, has used his first big speech on broadcasting to voice his opposition to product placement. The minister in charge of what *you* get to watch also indicated he wanted to see self-regulation of violent, sexual and offensive content on the internet, somehow modeled on the 9pm television watershed.
Burnham is clearly living in lala-I'm-not-listening-land. Putting aside his ludicrous suggestions to monitor online content (good luck with that), his apparent dismissal of product placement is a Big Problem. Paid for product placement is increasingly looking like the only hope for beleaguered free-to-air UK TV channel ITV. TV ad revenues in recent years have fallen off a cliff and ITV had sought to make up the shortfall with money from gambling phone in competition lines. We all know how well that panned out.
Burnham asserts that product placement 'contaminates' programming. In the UK, many of our prejudices against product placement appear to have been formed from watching movies such as the Bond franchise, where placement is often clumsy and detrimental. This is strange, given that many homes have multichannel TV and are exposed to US programming – laden with placement – on both ITV and the myriad other channels. American Idol on ITV has to fuzz-out the Coke cups on the judges' desk. But there is no such regulation of Horatio's Hummer in CSI Miami, Dunkin' Donuts in Will and Grace nor of the product references on reality shows such as Top Model. There's simply too much *there*.
Moreover, US imports such as Seinfeld, CSI and Heroes are often held up as archetypes of fantastic TV. All are at least partially funded by product placement. Hell, they probably wouldn't have been made had it not been for brands bunnying up the cash to be represented. Not that product placement is devoid of problems; script writers in the US continue to (rightly) complain that brands exert undue influence over the creative process. However, with an estimated $7bn to $10bn invested in product placement in the US every year, it's increasingly hard to discount it as a revenue stream.
To be blunt, ITV and the UK advertising industry need product placement to happen. It's their 'get out of jail free' card. With his ill-advised and ill-informed opinions on the subject, the culture minister may have just slammed the door shut.

Update: Andy Burnham has also just launched a personal attack on the director of Liberty and leading human rights campaigner, Shami Chakrabarti. Clever.

Illinois casinos could hurt Indiana budget
The potential for new Illinois casinos is threatening to throw the Indiana spending and tax cut plan out of balance. The Illinois Senate voted Wednesday for a Senate Bill permitting new casinos in Chicago, the south suburbs and three other cities; slot machines at horse racing tracks and the two Chicago airports; and a reduction in casino tax rates. The gaming plan, which now goes to the House, is strongly backed by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who has pledged to give schools all the revenue from the Chicago casino. The Indiana budget currently is balanced, with projected revenues exceeding spending by approximately $100 million in each year. However, the budget is likely to drop into deficit status if Illinois goes ahead with its casino expansion plans and projections of Illinois gaming tax revenue prove accurate.

We have japanese maple trees in containers on our balcony. Two of the JM, their leaves have fallen almost all off. We think the leaves have fallen prematurely though maybe someone can advise? Also, we haven't used any fertilizer on our JMs, which we got at earlier this year (2012). When should they be fertilized? I was planning to get Espoma Tone Tree Food and see if that will help.
Also, one of the JM has white powdery mildew on its leaves. Any recommendations as to what I can use to get rid of it? If the leaves are falling, will the white powdery mildew affect the JM when it grows new leaves in spring? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Sun, Nov 25, 12 at 15:14
Nothing premature about a JM losing leaves by late November.....rather, I'd be very surprised if they hadn't! Any plant grown in a container will need routine fertilization. There are insufficient nutrient levels in potting soil to begin with and every time you water, you leach out what may be there. Unless it is a water soluble formulation, organics (like most Espoma products) do not work very efficiently for container plantings. I use a slow release like Osmocote when potting up and then again seasonally each spring for all my potted trees. I also supplement during the growing season with a water soluble product - all work about the same - around once a month or so or when I fertilize my seasonal and edible container planting. Powdery mildew is a seasonal ailment, usually appearing in late summer or fall when conditions are dry but evening humidity high. Making sure the containers receive adequate water at that time of year is important - that can greatly reduce the incidence of PM. Also, adequate air circulation (don't crowd the plants on your balcony). Gather up and dispose of any fallen leaves and don't worry about overwintering spores. Not enough of a concern to be an issue :-) |

Important Information >>
Colonial Saw Company, America's distributor of Lamello precision Swiss power tools and wood joining systems, is proud to announce that the Lamello Classic X Biscuit Joiner—part of Lamello's next generation in biscuit joiners—will come in a Limited Edition Lamello sturdy wooden case at no additional charge plus a FREE box of 700 #20 biscuits (total value of $140.00). The promotion begins November 11th and will run until December 31, 2013. New features of the Classic X include flush base plate on both sides and a 780-watt powerful motor. A versatile biscuit joiner, Classic X currently installs 15 different Lamello joining elements, and it offers four additional applications besides biscuit and connector joining—1) cutting of grooves for tongue and groove connections, 2) ability to cut expansion gaps for wood ceilings and floors, 3) wood repairing of resin pockets and small defects and 4) trimming of solid wood or plastic edges.
One of the new features of the Classic X is that the swiveling front stop and the front stop square are now designed to be flush on both sides of the machine. This first ever flush base plate in a Classic machine allows for easy and fast alignment of the Classic X machine to the side of the work piece in all positions including tight corners. The scales for angle and height adjustment have been moved so that both are in clear view for the operator. The base plate is still equipped, however, with Lamello's same proven slide system to ensure life long accuracy in rendering precise parallel grooves for perfect alignment of the work pieces. Flat application on the work piece is guaranteed by the precision-machined reference surfaces on the base plate. The results are perfectly cut and matching work pieces. The new multifunctional stop square with precise guidance can be slid onto the base plate, making the application surface larger for more accurate vertical use. It also allows for perfect alignment of the outside edge of up to 135-degree miter joints in work pieces of varying thickness.
The new 780-Watt motor powerful motor ensures even faster precision groove cutting in all materials. Its new ergonomic slick design allows for easier handling. This next generation in biscuit joiner motors is very easy to maintain and repair. Spare parts such as carbon brushes, switches or electronic parts are easily changed without tools by simply pulling off the motor cap.
The Classic X System includes machine, a precision carbide tipped cutter, suction stub, stop square, 4 mm spacer, set of tools, manual and a sturdy wooden Lamello case—all for the same price as the Classic X with cardboard case of $599.00.

MIAMI (AP) - LeBron James made a layup as time expired in overtime, and the Miami Heat found a way to beat the Indiana Pacers 103-102 in a wild Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals Wednesday night.
James finished with 30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for the Heat - his ninth postseason triple-double, and barely anyone noticed. All that mattered was the last shot, which simply saved the Heat.
Paul George made three free throws with 2.2 seconds left in the overtime, which he forced with a miracle 3-pointer, to give the Pacers the lead. But James just drove down the left side of the lane, scored with ease and the Heat escaped.
Game 2 is Friday night in Miami.
