- The continued growth and dominance of a small number of too-big-to-fail banks has created an overly concentrated financial system, created unacceptable moral hazard and systemic risk, thwarted the operation of the free market, and harmed consumers and business borrowers.
- ICBA supports legislative and regulatory changes that would curb or end advantages currently enjoyed by too-big-to-fail banks. Such changes should include higher capital and leverage requirements, enhanced liquidity standards, activity restrictions, concentration limits, limitations on the federal safety net, and more effective resolution authority.
- ICBA has endorsed the Terminating Bailouts for Taxpayer Fairness (TBTF) Act (S. 798), introduced by Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and David Vitter (R-La.). The Brown-Vitter bill requires the largest, riskiest banks to hold more leverage equity capital.
- ICBA supports FDIC's and the Federal Reserve's rules on contingent resolution plans and encourages the agencies to use the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act requiring systemically important financial institutions (SIFIs) to divest their assets if they do not file credible plans.
- ICBA supports FDIC Vice Chairman Tom Hoenig's proposal to restructure banking organizations to prevent extension of the federal safety net and reduce systemic risk. Under the Hoenig proposal, banks would be restricted to core banking activities and would be prohibited from engaging in risky non-banking activities.
- The U.S. Justice Department must end the double standard with regard to prosecutions for bank operations and practices. Despite rampant malfeasance in the years prior to the financial crisis, no senior executives at large banks have been prosecuted or jailed.
- The Volcker Rule prohibition on proprietary trading and limitation on investment in and sponsorship of hedge funds and private equity funds by banking companies should completely and effectively exempt community banks.
Dominance of the Largest Banks. The greatest ongoing threat to the safety and soundness of the U.S. banking system is the dominance of a small number of too-big-to-fail megabanks. The megabanks have become even larger since the financial meltdown. In fact, the 12 largest U.S. banks, or 0.2 percent of all U.S. banks, hold nearly 70 percent of industry assets, dwarfing the rest of the banking system and representing massive systemic risk. Because these firms are too big to fail, they act with impunity and court risks that no smaller firm would tolerate. The markets offer them credit at rates that do not reflect their true risk—rates that are subsidized by an implicit taxpayer guarantee. In addition, large or interconnected institutions are too big to prosecute and their executives are too big to jail. No banker should be above the law. The same prosecutorial standards must apply to community banks and megabanks alike.
Estimation of the TBTF Subsidy. According to two economists from the International Monetary Fund and Bloomberg View, the government's too-big-to-fail subsidy for megabanks is worth an estimated $83 billion per year, offering these firms a clear competitive advantage, fueling further industry concentration and increasing systemic risk. Numerous other studies support this estimation. The Government Accountability Office is scheduled to release in 2014 the second part of its report "Government Assistance for Bank Holding Companies" which we hope will correctly estimate the actual benefit and the ongoing subsidy of the largest institutions.
TBTF Act. To reduce systemic risk and ensure that the largest too-big-to-fail financial institutions operate more safely and soundly, ICBA has endorsed the Terminating Bailouts for Taxpayer Fairness (TBTF) Act (S. 798), introduced by Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and David Vitter (R-La.). This bill would require the largest banks to hold leverage equity capital of not less than 15% of total assets, allowing them to operate more safely, absorb more losses and avoid a government or taxpayer bailout.
Enhanced Prudential Standards for SIFIs. ICBA also generally endorses higher capital, leverage, liquidity standards, concentration limits and contingent resolution plans for SIFIs, those banking institutions with $50 billion or more in consolidated assets. ICBA supports a significant capital surcharge on SIFIs that would not be less than what was proposed by the Basel Committee for G-SIFIs—a progressive common equity tier 1 capital requirement of between 1% to 2.5%, depending on the bank's systemic importance. ICBA also supports the banking agencies' proposal for a higher supplementary leverage ratio on the largest banks and their holding companies.
FDIC as Receiver; "Funeral" Plans. ICBA supports the orderly liquidation rules of the FDIC and the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act that provide a process for the appointment of the FDIC as receiver of a failing financial company that poses significant risk to the financial stability of the United States. ICBA also supports the FDIC's and the Federal Reserve's rules requiring SIFIs to submit contingent resolution plans that enable the FDIC, as receiver, to resolve the institution under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. It is essential that the largest financial companies submit credible contingent resolution plans that will facilitate a rapid and orderly resolution of the company and will describe how the liquidation process can be accomplished without posing systemic risk. If a company cannot submit a credible plan, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve should exercise their authority under the Dodd-Frank Act to order a divestiture of those assets or operations that might hinder an orderly resolution.
ICBA Supports Hoenig Proposal. ICBA supports FDIC Vice Chairman Tom Hoenig's proposal to restructure banking organizations. Under the Hoenig proposal, banks would be restricted to core banking activities of making loans and taking deposits and would be prohibited from engaging certain non-banking activities such as dealing and market making, brokerage, and proprietary trading. In addition, banking organizations would be prohibited from holding "complicated" securities such as multilayer structure securities (e.g., CDOs) because of the difficulty determining and monitoring their credit quality. The Hoenig proposal would better align the interests of banks and their customers. Trading activities can set up a conflict of interest between a bank and its customers. The proposal would reduce risk among large financial institutions and shadow banks and improve overall stability in the financial system.
Volcker Rule Should Target Large Banks Exclusively. ICBA is committed to ensuring that the Volcker Rule prohibition on proprietary trading and investment in and sponsorship of hedge funds and private equity funds completely and effectively exempts community banks. ICBA commends the banking agencies for their January 2014 interim final rule regarding the inapplicability of the Volcker Rule to collateralized debt obligations backed primarily by community bank-issued trust preferred securities (TruPS CDOs), but believes the Volcker prohibition should be limited to equity interests in hedge funds and private equity funds and not be extended to other types of non-equity investments in pools and investment vehicles that are not hedge funds or private equity funds.

The move from primary to secondary school is another big step, and poses new challenges for twins and multiples – and their families. Your children may already increasingly independent of each other, but are still feeling their way forward to their own identity. The close bond between multiples is now being tested by puberty, on top of the normal roller coaster that is adolescence. The greater pressure of secondary school life can also impose a strain, which can highlight difference in achievement, even to the point of pushing them into different schools.
As secondary school approaches, you'll face many of the same decisions as at primary level, but with new complications
How do adult multiples get on? Hear about the experiences of leaving home, settling into relationships and getting married.

Other Pets at ART And Paws Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sasha, a Brea Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Staffordshire Bull Terrier for sale in Brea, or seeking a Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppy from a breeder in Brea.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brea 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 Brea 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 Staffordshire Bull Terrier breeders who help with Staffordshire Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brea paves the way for another one to be saved.

"In addition to traditional high school exchange and program providers, the teen travel and study section includes gap-year opportunities. Whether it's called a gap year, taking time off, or an interim experience, more U.S. students are considering participating in a structured sequence of activities before college that may include service and cultural exchange. With so many options available for students, researching programs is essential. Issues to consider when comparing options may include: supervision and structure (particularly if a student is younger and/or an inexperienced traveler); program fees and additional costs (e.g., travel and health insurance, if applicable); whether scholarships are available; whether a student prefers being with a group or is interested in a homestay experience; mastery of a foreign language is recommended or required; health and safety issues in a host country; and the program's track record in these areas. Most programs will provide contact information for past participants who can offer valuable references and recommendations. Some students may be interested in whether they can arrange academic credit for their experience (which generally calls for up-front consultation with a college or university)." —Karl Haigler and Rae Nelson, co-authors of The Gap-Year Advantage.

Athlete's Voices: Kendall Johnson, Episode 2. World Cup Fever!
DoubleGSports.com has partnered with some local athlete's to develop this great column titled, Athlete's Voices. In this column, some of your favorite local athletes will share their lives with you, both on and off the playing surface. Each athlete will post a blog, once a month, updating you on their latest happenings. Today's post is by Kendall Johnson, a member of Sky Blue FC, New Jersey's professional women's soccer team. Follow Kendall as she will post a blog on the 15th of every month…
Praise Mona Lisa, the wait is over! The time has finally come! Such a glorious time indeed! I'm talking about the one month out of every four years when Americans come to their senses, put away their pigskins, and become avid fans of the true game of football. I find pure joy in everything the World Cup has to offer: my non-soccer comrades magically becoming diehard fans of the game, controversial referee calls, last minute heroics, raw emotional goal celebrations when players take off (or keep on, but preferably take off) their shirts…the list goes on and on. It truly puts a smile on my face that everyone finally gets to partake in watching the most beautiful sport in the world. If every month could be World Cup month, then we would surely all be living in a happier place.
I know there are still those haters who don't understand all the hype about this game we call soccer. They cannot come to terms with how it is possible for a teams to run around for 90 minutes only to have the game end in a 0-0 draw. Those people have a semi-valid point, but that very notion makes each victory that much sweeter. In addition, there is much more to the game than the score line. The way players dance around with the ball completing no-look passes, weaving through defenders, and ripping shots perfectly into the side netting is nothing short of miraculous.
If this isn't enough to get you amped up to watch the World Cup, then I have a wonderful resource for you. Weeks prior to the big tournament, I was perusing the web for World Cup preview footage and I came across an epic series on the FIFA TV YouTube channel. Each video gives an entertaining, detailed description of all you need to know about each country participating in the tournament. You get the down low on each team's style, formation, individual standouts etc. but the info goes far beyond that. For instance, Greece may have never won a World Cup, but they have plenty of other worthy accomplishments. They are the leading producer of sea sponges and in 2012, 2150 Grecian's came together to break the record for most people shaving in a single venue. And the following year, they created the largest lollipop. If that doesn't make you want to cheer for Greece, then I don't know what will. Here's the link to all the previews: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCGIzmTE4d0gFI4T56s-40XbXXQw9rAhM
This year, our team has created our own pool, "March Madness style", in which we all selected the teams we predict will advance throughout the tournament. I can only speak for myself, but I take these kinds of things very seriously. After countless hours of calculating numbers, inserting sums into excel spreadsheets, and running diagnostics, I can say with 92% certainty that I've come up with the winning bracket. SPOILER ALERT: if you don't want to know who wins the World Cup, then stop reading now! The winner of the 2014 World Cup will be Brazil. I cannot wait to see the hometown team lift the trophy in front of the thousands of yellow, green, and blue face-painted screaming fans. Additionally, the U.S will escape the "Group of Death" upsetting Portugal. Belgium will make a noteworthy run into the semi-finals, sadly losing to Spain, the eventual runner-ups of the tournament. I would explain my choices, but the mathematics behind them are way too complicated.
Honestly, you owe it to yourselves to tune into the excitement. Once you start watching the World Cup, then I'm sure you all will be dying to get your fix of live soccer. And that's where Sky Blue FC comes in. We'd love for you come on out and support us for the second half of the season. Our next home game is on Sunday June 22 at 1:00pm against the Boston Breakers at Yurzak Field (Full schedule: http://www.skybluefc.com/Schedule/index_E.html). Hope to see you all there!

Wow... today was a great
Chum are everywhere this time of year, take the place of the Chinook and Sockeye as they head up the rivers. We've been looking forward to the fall Chum fishery, when there's plenty of fish with plenty of fight. Watch your thumbs, weighing-in up to 20 lbs., these suckers are strong! Hot spots include Separation Head, Deepwater and Green Sea Bay.
Wildlife Adventure Tour guests are still having a great time. This morning, they saw a Humpback whale and a black bear plus those pesky sea lions.

One of the things that attract customers most to cloud computing is the prospect of accessing inexpensive server resources.
But as good as the deals on server horsepower are, the companies that provide cloud computing platforms need to make money. And one of the ways they make up for the low-cost access to servers is by charging a premium for the network bandwidth required to access those servers.
Carl Meadows, senior product manager for cloud services for The Planet, a hosting services provider, says IT organizations need to take a hard look at what kind of workloads they want to move into the cloud before signing up with any provider. If the data is relatively static, cloud computing can be an excellent deal just about anywhere. But if it's a production application or a website that is going to accessed regularly or require huge amounts of bandwidth to update, then customers need to pay close attention to the terms and conditions of the cloud computing offer.
For example, many cloud service providers pay as little as three cents a gigabyte for network bandwidth. But they will charge customers up to 22 to 25 cents per gigabyte of network bandwidth used. Planet gives customers one terabyte of bandwidth as part of the core service. Meadows says The Planet bundles network bandwidth into the pricing of its cloud computing services, largely because most of the customers it services are running production applications such as websites.
He says it's becoming a lot more common for customers to become disenchanted with cloud computing services once they discover how much of their supposed server savings is being eaten up by charges for network bandwidth.

Jane Pratt. Hands down.
Nevertheless, it's interesting to compare my favorite albums with my "most listened to Ween songs" on last.fm:
1. Ocean Man
2. Mutilated Lips
3. The Golden Eel
4. The Grobe
5. The Mollusk
6. Don't Get 2 Close 2 My Fantasy
7. How High Can U Fly?
8. Blue Balloon
9. Pork Roll, Egg and Cheese
10. You Were the Fool
For shits and giggles, here's my list:
10. La Cucaracha (they were obviously running out steam here – with the exception of Blue Balloon and Your Party, I find this album kind of unlistenable)
9. White Pepper (probably Ween's most "accessible" album, which is bad in my eyes)
8. 12 Golden Country Greats
7. Shinola
6. God Ween Satan
5. Pure Guava
4. Quebec
3. The Pod
2. Chocolate and Cheese
1. The Mollusk
I think she's great, but I've never understood why she doesn't just buy a mic stand.

India's rupee rose, approaching a three-month high, after Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said prudence will be a key theme in next month's budget and pledged to deepen an economic-policy overhaul.
The government raised the tariff on gold, India's second- biggest import, to 6 percent from 4 percent on Jan. 21 to help reduce a record current-account shortfall. Chidambaram said in an interview yesterday he plans to stick to a budget-deficit target of 4.8 percent of gross domestic product in the year through March 2014, adding that he'd like interest rates to moderate to revive economic growth.
"India's reform story gained momentum via increased taxes on gold imports," analysts at Morgan Stanley, including New York-based Rashique Rahman, wrote in a research report received today. Inflows into local-currency bonds will increase and support the rupee, they wrote.
The currency advanced 0.2 percent to 53.6925 per dollar as of 9:30 a.m. in Mumbai, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It touched 53.3800 yesterday, the strongest level since Oct. 23. One-month implied volatility in the rupee, a gauge of expected moves in the exchange rate used to price options, fell 30 basis points, or 0.30 percentage point, to 10 percent.
Bond Purchases
The capital-market regulator met its target to sell 176.61 billion rupees ($3.3 billion) of permits that allow global funds to purchase government debt on Jan. 21, according to two people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because they aren't permitted to speak to the media. Foreign investor holdings of rupee-denominated securities rose to a record $33.3 billion this month, stock exchange data show.
India's central bank will lower its benchmark repurchase rate by 25 basis points to 7.75 percent at a Jan. 29 review, according to 11 of 14 analysts in a Bloomberg survey. Two predict a cut to 7.50 percent and one sees no change.
The rupee's gains will be limited by demand for dollars from importers, according to Yes Bank Ltd. The Reserve Bank of India eased rules for exporters yesterday to purchase dollars.
Three-month onshore rupee forwards traded at 54.67 per dollar, compared with 54.79 yesterday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Offshore non-deliverable contracts were at 54.79 versus 54.60. Forwards are agreements to buy or sell assets at a set price and date. Non-deliverable contracts are settled in dollars.

on July 26, 2013If there's large-scale corporate malfeasance anywhere in the neighborhood, then you can be sure that, like a sticker on a stock car, the Halliburton brand will be on it somewhere.
Halliburton's energy-services subsidiary designed and built the well for BP. In early May, the company began an internal investigation to determine whether the number of "centralizers" - metal collars that help keep the well pipe centered - played a role in the blowout. Halliburton recommends installing 21, but BP chose to use just six. Halliburton ran 3-D computer simulations in May and June 2010, and both times the results indicated there was little difference between the two scenarios. Employees were then directed by unidentified individuals to destroy the simulations, the Justice Department said.The Deepwater Horizon Task Force was unable to recover the computer simulations.
Wait a minute. "Unidentified individuals?" What the hell is up with that? I long ago gave up hope that anyone above the rank of janitor in a major American corporation ever actually will go to jail. But how about we identify the individuals so that, maybe, they lose their jobs and have to go find work in other fields, because they are manifestly incompetent and manifestly dishonest in their current occupations. Some 17-year old black kid gets busted for weed in New York and he can't ever get a decent job anywhere. These guys break the Gulf Of Mexico and then bury the evidence and we don't even get to know who they are? If Whitey Bulger had been the president of an energy company, he'd be on the back nine at Pebble by now. Hell, other energy companies should know about these people, so they don't make the mistake of hiring any of them. I look upon this as a public service.

Susan Wheeler, Spa Director, The Avanyu Spa at The Equinox, Manchester Village, Vermont
By: Cathy Christensen
Posted: June 11, 2008, from the October 2006 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
"I've held the same position at work longer than anyone I know," laughs Susan Wheeler, spa director of The Avanyu Spa at The Equinox in Manchester Village, Vt., since 1987. And although she hasn't made any drastic career changes, Wheeler has grown to become an expert in the industry, which is evidenced by the fact that she currently serves on the board of directors for the International SPA Association (ISPA). Through this prestigious position, she travels throughout the world, but this self-professed homebody always looks forward to returning home. "This is me, and this is where I want to be," says Wheeler.
Throughout her childhood in Millbrook, N.Y., Wheeler always was interested in exercise—she was a competitive equestrienne and studied classical ballet. After learning about movement therapy in college, Wheeler became the director of a facility that focused on a variety of activities, such as tennis and aerobic dance. Several years later, she went on to form her own small dance company. Wheeler's next step in life was a move to Vermont, where she found her current home at The Equinox in Manchester Village.
With a population of approximately 6,000, the tight-knit community supplies ample opportunity to become involved in charitable endeavors—a cause about which Wheeler is very passionate. "As a spa director, being involved in the community is important," she explains. "If you want to be respected as someone who helps people, you have to live your life that way. There is so much payback you can get from these experiences."
From larger endeavors, such as her role at Rotarian and being active in the area's chamber of commerce, to smaller, more personal actions, Wheeler believes strongly in giving back. One of her fondest and most touching memories involves working with a physically challenged little boy. "A mother asked me if her son could visit the spa with a specialist and spend some time in our pool. He couldn't go to the public pool because he suffered from immune problems," explains Wheeler. "When he visited the spa, he could barely walk, but in the pool he would be a little tadpole, laughing and swimming. The whole staff adopted him. It made such a difference—for a short amount of time, he could just be free of everything."
Her passion for helping others translates into her own therapy as well—reviving her childhood love of horses. "I stress to my clients how important it is to go back to something for which you really had a passion. Horses give me balance in my life," says Wheeler—especially one horse in particular, named Lancelot. "He teaches me about having patience, unconditional love and all the things that are important to the spa experience. He keeps me on track and makes me realize how important it is to focus on others. These are lessons that I give back to my team, as well as to all of the members and clients at the spa."

Since we've got a new venue, I'll just say I didn't think 'turkey compost' implied anything other than turkey poop. The question was a distraction anyway, since the original problem was the smell and what that meant. And the answer to *that* is universal, regardless of what kind of compost is stinking. Funny story: I worked in a lab doing environmental fate studies on things like animal antibiotics. For one such study we had to spike the test compound onto turkey manure, incubate and determine how it decomposed. The client sent us a 5-gal bucket of turkey poop. It had to be dried for some reason prior to use (don't remember the details). So the lab techs took it to the OTHER building, up in the attic, and spread it out in pans to dry. Within an hour, it had fumigated the entire building with turkey poop stench and the phone was ringing! I coulda told em that... |

I don't under why that woman was so hostile, clearly she doesn't understand how to make an email filter. For example she could make an filter that would filter out the word "turkey" or the word "compost" or the word "gross" from the subject line and sent it too the trash. I am guessing that she is not too bright. |
That is one of the funniest comments I've read....literally, I'm crying I'm laughing so hard. Lloyd |

Yeah, I have never seen people called @$$holes in a gardening forum, LOL. If she 'moved on to a different forum' because of it, why were the email notifications still turned on anyway? I didn't even know we had those here and from the volume of threads I post useless junk in, my inbox would be overflowing. :-D |
When one originates a thread, there is an option to receive emails when anyone replies to the thread. I can't recall calling anyone such a name myself but I've certainly thought it. IMO she was justified, she was treated pretty lousy with little cause for such treatment. My laughter was at the "not too bright" comment. Lloyd |
- Posted by ernie85017 (My Page) on Wed, May 9, 12 at 13:42
OK, I am coming in on the end of this thread, but I noticed something that was mis-read or mis-written. Smelling fishy like a fish TANK. That isn't a fishy smell as you would think when you open a can of tuna. It's a musty, algae and fish poop smell. That makes sense. Fish Tank smell. Not fishy. I first read the words turkey compost here. I had visions of composted turkeys. I didn't think of them as dead, though. My mind works differently from most, but I caught the fishy. |
There was plenty of misunderstood stuff on that thread. As to fish tank smell...I store rain water in a 1200 gallon tank and it certainly has lots of algae and scum in it. I use this water on the compost windrows as necessary so I can understand how that odor may be prevalent when the compost is not finished. Once the compost has cured for a year, that odor is no longer discernible. Lloyd |
- Posted by tropical_thought San Francisco (My Page) on Thu, May 10, 12 at 12:36
The reason she did that if you curse on the garden web the comment won't post. I am not the only one who was thinking composting turkeys. If someone is really hardcore, they want to compost everything possible. It's an obsession. Why waste all the turkey after thanksgiving? The bones are like bone meal and the fats add something, I don't know what, but I think composting your turkey is a great idea. If I did not have that pesky compost eating dog, I would do it. I did compost a chicken a couple of times. A turkey is bigger, so you would need a big hot pile or bin to handle that. Hot is the key thing here. In a cold pile it would sit there and collect flies. |
Given that the fourth post on the original thread explicitly stated it was turkey manure, no reasonably intelligent person should have been confused as to the content of the compost. Lloyd |
- Posted by tishtoshnm 6/NM (My Page) on Thu, May 10, 12 at 16:28
Lloyd, that is unless of course that person is "not too bright." |
- Posted by toxcrusadr (My Page) on Thu, May 10, 12 at 16:53
>>The reason she did that if you curse on the garden web the comment won't post. I understand that, I was referring to the use of such harsh terms in the first place, not how it was spelled. |
- Posted by tropical_thought San Francisco (My Page) on Thu, May 10, 12 at 17:40
That not too bright remark was a joke based on what she said in her post. I did not think it was composted turkeys by the time I got to the end of the post, but I wondered why call it turkey compost but yet bat guano? When you buy chicken manure they never call it chicken compost. |
Why do we call a beef patty a hamburger? Sometimes that's the way it is. I didn't see the joke in the comment TT but I did laugh at all the grammatical errors. I thought the combination of the two was hilarious. Tell me you did that deliberately. Lloyd |
- Posted by tishtoshnm 6/NM (My Page) on Thu, May 10, 12 at 18:45
I do have a bag outside labeled poultry compost. Chicken or turkey? Anybody's guess. One of the deficiencies in forums is many of us hang too tightly to our own assumptions and experiences. There is a wealth of knowledge but not every one is dealing with the same circumstances. There is also a lesson in there about receiving e-mails. A lot of times threads that have been inactive for a while will become active again and when that happens, you will still get an e-mail even if you have moved on. It may behoove GW to turn off the automatic e-mails after 3-6 months. |

beehooves? Can those be composted? |
- Posted by tishtoshnm 6/NM (My Page) on Fri, May 11, 12 at 11:12
Blaze, if there is one thing I have learned on this forum if it was once alive, it can be composted. Good luck getting enough to achieve critical mass. |
- Posted by tropical_thought San Francisco (My Page) on Fri, May 11, 12 at 12:44
This is one of the more entertaining threads. Sometimes I come here and things are so dead and boring, I want to spice things up and make them interesting. Lively debate is good. |

I never met a pheasant recipe I didn't like, but this one goes straight to the head of the class. It's as good as anything I've ever tasted in a restaurant.
Start by cutting the breasts of two pheasants into bite-size pieces. Dust the meat with seasoned flour. In a large stainless steel skillet, brown the meat in three tablespoons of butter. If necessary, add another pat of butter.
When the meat is nicely browned, increase the heat, pour half a cup of brandy into the skillet and flame. If you're not comfortable with a fire in the kitchen, simply allow the brandy to bubble until it's almost gone. If you want to flame the brandy, very carefully light the liquor with a wooden match. Turn your head while doing this. It's also a good idea to have a good exhaust fan running.
Next, pour in one cup of pheasant stock (or chicken broth) and bring to a simmer.
Cover and place in a 400-degree oven for 30 minutes or so.
When the meat is done, remove from the skillet and finish making the sauce. Over medium heat, add half a cup of cream and simmer for about five minutes. Stir in a tablespoon of plum sauce and add salt and pepper. Turn the heat to its lowest setting, return the meat to the sauce and set aside while you make the vegetables.
In another skillet, combine a tablespoon each of butter and olive oil over medium heat. When the fat is hot, add one cup each of:
Red pepper, diced
Mushrooms, diced
When the vegetables have softened, add a cup of spinach leaves for a minute or so, just long enough to soften.
Using a slotted spoon, fill two puff pastry bowls per serving with the meat, drizzle some of the sauce over the top and sprinkle the vegetables over the dish and around the plate.
Garnish with fresh parsley and a bell pepper ring.

text: We ended up meeting a friend for dinner at O'hana on our last trip. We went from a party of three to a party of four. It was not a problem at all, since we are usually seated at a four-seat table anyway. I too tried to call ahead and they could not change our reservation to add an extra person. I kept the reservation and just showed up with our extra person and didn't have a problem. I would rather take the chance that you'll probably still have your reservation honored than try to book some place new at a late date. Good luck!

History of the Aus-Can PC Alliance
The Australian-Canadian Prostate Cancer Research Alliance was founded in 2008. It was created in order to faciliate access to national and international infrastructure to assist in the translation of a wide range of discoveries in Australia and Canada. In the same year, it received initial core funding of $2 million from the Queensland Smart State National-International Research Alliance Program.
The Aus-CanPCRA is made up of Australians and Canadians working in a variety of prostate cancer research-related areas, who can coordinate their energies to solve the problems facing prostate cancer. The primary hub of the Aus-CanPCRA is at thePrincess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane and is led by the Australian Prostate Cancer Research Centre - Queensland, while the Canadian hub is the Prostate Centre in Vancouver.
There are currently twenty eight initial clinical and scientific partner organisations of the Aus-CanPCRA, and nearly 200 members in Australia and Canada. Membership is free and offers a range of benefits, the main being access to international resources and opportunities.

Everybody Panic: iPads Apparently Spurring Runaway Increase in Murse Ownership
We hate to exacerbate your case of the Mondays, but we have some terrible news: Murses–you know, purses, but for men?–are on the rise, mostly because everyone carries their iPads everywhere. Somehow we don't think this is the world Steve Jobs envisioned for us.
In the good old days, men used to stuff their scant necessities like wallet and keys into deep denim pockets. Now–with the proliferation of tablets, laptops and gadgets–men are turning to "manbags" to store these crucial items. This is a cultural phenomenon unlike any we have seen before, and one we must surely protect our children from. Read More

The Ei team made a major breakthrough during a recent LDAR retagging project for one of our customers, which resulted in a significant reduction in LDAR contractor costs while allowing Ei to implement smart P&IDs configured in AutoCAD P&ID. Ei rolled out field-ready Microsoft Surface Pro tablets equipped with data-driven P&IDs and Ei's Field Tech Toolbox, which eliminated the need to utilize Archer dataloggers configured with the mobile software for the facility's LDAR database. Final deliverables for the project included smart P&IDs with electronic P&ID highlighting and LDAR tag annotations to identify LDAR equipment cross-referenced in the LDAR database - at no additional cost to the planned budget.

It's all good!
Why should you save your money? Here are three good reasons:
- To increase your independence;
- To get all the things you want;
- To make you rich.
Being rich enough to buy everything you want is cool. But having the money you need to be independent is a lot better.
It's all about you and your life.
You'll be able go where you want to go, do what you want to do, and buy the things you desire.
You could fly to Tahiti for a vacation, take flying lessons, or you could buy the plane!
Save it!
Right now you depend on your parents for lots of things, including money.
As you grow and learn more about managing your money, the more you'll be independent and in control, and the more you'll get out of life.
Saving money is a good thing, yet less than half of middle-school-age kids save regularly. So, to help you make the most of your money, here are the...

Guess what...Jews are as diverse as any other religion.<quoted text>
Is Reform Judaism really considered Judaism? The Orthodox can't stand them either. And given the Reformed branch's liberal, twisted track record, I can't stand them either!
Ever heard of a Jesus believing Karaite? We don't go for all the made up Pharisee laws. Jesus said the Law and the Prophets are enough.
Why do you think he dogged the Pharisees?
Why not the Sadducees? Because they didn't believe in the man made rules either.
The Saducees stayed in Jeruslaem to defend the Temple when the Pharisees ran.
Thus, the Sadducees were killed and the Pharisees continue to this day.
Rabbis still follow the Pharisee ways...

"When executing the secondary option of the Technology strategy, you may execute both the primary and secondary abilities."
There's this implication that in order to execute the secondary ability of the Tech SC, you NEED 8 (or 6) resource points. If you don't have the necesary resources, then you cannot benefit from this special ability - is this correct?
Say another player uses Tech II, at which point the Jol-Nar player has only 5 resources available. Can the latter still use the tech ability, effectively getting for free a tech that he wouldn't be able to buy otherwise?
Yes, I know, the Jol-Nar can choose to not pay this price, but it makes sense he should have those resources available in order to have said option available. If the Jol-Nar doesn't have these resources, then he can't activate its racial tech ability, period.
Or, to get to the bottom of it: if the Jol-Nar have, say, 0 resources, can they still use their tech related ability, yes or no?
And then, as an addenda, would those resources (TCs not included) be made up of only non-exhausted planets or can they also include exhausted planets (that is, spent resources)?
Sorry for the opening a new thread, but while searching the forum for an answer to this question, I haven't found a precise answer to it.

Committee to Elect G. James Benoit P.O. Box 74 Crownsville, MD 21032
May 30, 2010 A SAD ANNIVERSARY VIGIL PLANNED SUNDAY TO MARK DEATH OF YOUNG CHRISTOPHER JONES The Baltimore Sun Jessica Anderson One year after 14-year-old Christopher Jones was beaten to death by gang members while on his way to his Crofton home, family and friends will gather for a candlelight vigil to raise awareness on bullying and to remember his life."He was a perfect all-American boy with a lot of heart and soul," said Christopher's mother, Jennifer Adkins.Christopher had been riding his bike when gang members in western Anne Arundel County struck him on the left side of his face and head last May.Adkins said the past year without her son has been difficult. "I just sat at the tree [near where he died] and cried" recently, she said.Although the pain is still fresh, Adkins said she decided to extend the family vigil to the community."I could step aside, but I can't," she said. "Bullying is an epidemic across this country. If I can get people to come to get the message to them that gangs and violence has to stop ..."The vigil starts at 7:30 p.m. Sunday on Nantucket Drive, where Christopher pedaled about 30 feet before he fell and hit the pavement May 30, 2009.After the vigil, a fundraiser for the Crofton Regional Community Center will be held at the Italian Market & Restaurant, which will donate 10 percent of proceeds toward the project.Crofton "is a desert for recreation and character-building," said Art Huseonica, vice chairman of the Crofton Regional Community Center, who helped organize the vigil. "We want to keep the memory of Christopher Jones alive. We'd like to keep the momentum going."Adkins said she wants to see the center built in hopes of providing a place for teens so they have a safe alternative to getting involved with gangs.Christopher was not part of a gang, and Adkins has said that she complained to school officials that her son was being bullied at school. She transferred him from Arundel High School to South River High in late April 2009 to escape the bullying.After Christopher's death, Anne Arundel County Police Chief James Teare complained that the school system did not - because, school officials argued, the law would not permit them to - inform his school liaison officer that Christopher had been bullied and that his parents had switched schools to help him escape.Parents had complained that they had never heard of the youth gangs called the East Side Diamonds and their rivals, The New Threat, revealing a communication gap between schools and police.Lt. J.D. Batten Jr., commander of the Anne Arundel County Police Department's school safety section, said the community has recognized that the county reflects "a national trend" of rising gang activity in suburban areas, but that the department has taken initiatives to improve communication with schools to spot possible gang involvement among students early."We're in constant daily contact," he said, adding that the department had helped craft anti-gang legislation that was signed into law by Gov. Martin O'Malley this month, which is intended to remove barriers between law enforcement and school officials."In the earliest stages, when we are seeing [gang] markings, we send an officer to their home, we have a counselor come to talk to parents," Batten said. "We are trying to do everything we can."But even with improved communication between the schools and police, Batten said the key is getting the parents involved."There are more parents than police officers and teachers, and getting them to stay involved - that's the challenge," he said.Adkins agreed that parent involvement is important. "They've got to get involved with their kids," she said, adding that she's hoping parents and their children attend Sunday's vigil.Vigil attendees will gather at Christopher's memorial cross on Nantucket Drive in Crofton/Gambrills and will be led by Anne Arundel County Council member Jamie Benoit.County Executive John R. Leopold, state Sen. Edward R. Reilly, Del. James King, County Sheriff Ronald S. Bateman, state Sen. Janet Greenip, as well as Adkins and Christopher's father, David Jones, will speak. Nashville recording artist Ashley Forrest will perform.The vigil follows the first Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week, designated by Maryland first lady Katie Curran O'Malley and state schools Superintendent Nancy S. Grasmick in response to several local and national bullying incidents. < Prev Next > [ Back ]

Best Short-Lived Band Denver 2008 - Games for May
When former Insider Spider members Nathaniel Barsness and Greg Schoonmaker (also ex-Mannequin Makeout) joined with Diana Sperstad (formerly of As Seen on TV) and Suzi Bromfield (previously with Supply Boy and Catatonic Lydia), they wrote some of the most feisty, beautiful pop songs ever to grace Denver stages and performed them as the charming, energetic Games for May, whose name was taken from a Syd Barrett song. In April 2007, the outfit released its first and only album, The Season Is the Reason, and included in each copy a photograph of the band posing at Sperstand's house, making each CD a collector's item. Despite having released such an accomplished record, the group wasn't able to capitalize on its achievement and wound up breaking up in May, ironically.

Can someone please help me figure out why the bottom leaves on my tomato plants are curling? The rest of the plants look healthy, but the bottom leaves on almost all of them are curling up. If you copy and paste the link below you will see a picture of them:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151670238925584&set=a.10150537754820584.652560.609995583&type=1&theater Thank you so much! |
Follow-Up Postings:
It is called 'tomato leaf roll' and you can find lots of info about it over on the Growing Tomatoes forum here or by Googling that term. Basically it is a physiological response of the plant to stress but poses to real threat to the plant over all. Once the source of the stress goes away so does the condition. The causes of stress can be as simple as the fact that it is young and growing or as complicated as poor soil drainage problems, excess nitrogen fertilizer, too much or too little water, etc. It is fairly common in early spring with young plants exposed to spring weather extremes. Your plant appears to be rather leggy which makes me question if it is getting enough sun and it could also use some mulch to help stabilize the soil moisture levels. Dave |
I have the same thing on my plants due primarily (I think) from the 7.7 inches of rain in March. Lots of cool, cloudy weather also. Anyway, the plants have recovered nicely and I have a big crop of tomatoes coming on. Just not very pretty to look at! |
Yeah, its just leaf roll, its harmless. Usually its from too big of a temperature swing (got a little too cold at night after being a little too warm during the day). It doesn't cause any actual harm beyond looking bad, so don't worry about it. |

Jonathan Safran Foer: "I'm not so interested in the comforting kind of religion"
(Read article summary)Jonathan Safran Foer spoke on God, prayer, writing, and film adaptations at Calvin College's Festival on Faith & Writing.
A Jewish agnostic might not be the most obvious choice as a keynote speaker at a religious conference at a private Christian college named after John Calvin. But Jonathan Safran Foer was one of five "plenary" speakers at Calvin College's Festival on Faith & Writing in Grand Rapids, Mich., along with Pulitzer Prize winner Marilynne Robinson, Orange Prize winner Chimamanda Ngozi Achidie, Newbery Honor winner Gary D. Schmidt, and activist Shane Claiborne.
In two sessions, April 19 and 20, author Jonathan Safran Foer ranged widely over topics from his love of sculptor Joseph Cornell, why he would be an obstetrician today without his mentor, Joyce Carol Oates; the movie adaptation of "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"; and editing the "New American Haggadah."

Featured Property: Kalaheo Town Cottages, Kauai
Time is running out to purchase affordable Kauai real estate at Kalaheo Town Cottages. Only one of the six Kauai cottages remains left unsold at $415,000 with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a bonus room.
The first owners took title of their new Kauai home last week. Closing escrow at $425,000, they received their keys from Peter Sirois and began to move into their beautiful new cottage complete with bright and fresh interiors inclusive of high ceilings, stainless steel appliances, bamboo wood flooring, fully screened lanai and architectural elements that show the developer's respect for Kauai's classic architecture.
Kauai needs right priced residential inventory for sale and Malia Thain of Puu Aloha LLC decided to do something about it when she designed Kalaheo Town Cottages. Teaming with her husband and Peter Sirois (R) and Hannah Sirois (PB) of Kauai Heritage Properties, Malia brought this exciting Kauai real estate opportunity to market. These highly attractive 3-bedroom and 2-bedroom Kauai homes for sale are in the heart of Kalaheo Town within walking distance of all town conveniences, Kalaheo Elementary School and the bus stop.
"Kalaheo Town Cottages meets the needs of many buyers looking for smaller homes that are sensitive to the environment. With electric prices at a premium, these Kauai cottages offer homes that live large and are insulated, well ventilated, and include energy efficient appliances. They are also perfect for Kauai real estate buyers who want to live a pedestrian lifestyle." (Hannah Sirois)
With two of the six homes comprising Kalaheo Town Cottages complete, Malia Thain anticipates beginning construction shortly on the remaining four Kauai cottages. All of the cottages are anticipated to be complete in late 2013 and each painted its own color scheme straight out of Kauai's historical color palette.
For more information about Kalaheo Town Cottages and to schedule a tour, contact Malia at 808-635-2560.

"Journalistic mythology describes as a neutral and objective presentation what is fundamentally an exercise in qualifying information. Like the choice of a title or introductory paragraph, iconography plays a crucial part in this job of steering interpretation. But visual forms entail a greater margin of ambiguity than linguistic utterances." |
Mario Pires's curator insight,
December 24, 2014 9:53 AM
"What is also remarkable about the "Flickr strategy" above is the implicit understanding that images contain a single, direct message, and that what is photographed, and how it is photographed, will determine whether an image is "successful" in supporting the US Army "mission". In other words, photographs can only be understood in one manner: the intended manner." |
