The Chesterfield County Planning Commission has been reviewing the county's draft comprehensive plan, and while they have been charged by the Board of Supervisors to make their revisions to the plan before presenting it to them in July, their edits, if approved by the Board, could make the document quite different from the one built by the steering committee and presented in community meetings in recent months.
As commissioners reviewed various sections, including last week's housing and revitalization sections, they decided they didn't like the word "policies" and agreed that it should be changed to "recommendations." The word policy was also removed from the chapter headings of the draft plan and hundreds of locations throughout the draft plan.
Policies is defined as "a course of action adopted and pursued by a government," while recommendations is interpreted as "to advise, as an alternative; suggest."
Kirk Turner, who is the director of the planning department for Chesterfield, wasn't able to give his opinion of the changes, but said, "The Planning Commission will be making a lot of changes to the draft plan, but it's up to the Board of Supervisors to make the final decision." He said the board will decide whether they like the steering committee language, which is the current draft comprehensive plan, or the revised edition being worked on by the commission.
The commission has also made other changes including one that affects at least two sections, revitalization and transportation, by removing the connectivity statement. The original statement drafted by the steering committee called for connecting developments through streets and public facilities. The planning commission deleted public facilities and added "when appropriate." Russell Gulley, Clover Hill planning commissioner, expressed concern that connectivity would create potential funding issues with maintaining the roads.
"All they are doing is recording their wishes," Turner says of the commission's actions. "Eventually they may vote as a commission on these changes."
The draft plan they are reviewing is 187 pages in length and includes elements on goals and objectives, various policies such as land use, transportation, economic development and public facilities, and an implementation element that addresses how the rest of the ideas contained in the document will be carried out.
Community meetings were attended by only 1 percent of the population. According to planners the comments made by those at the community meetings will also be included as comments to the Board of Supervisors when they receive the plan for review and adoption. Residents may make comments by emailing email@example.com. The next planning commission comprehensive plan work sessions are scheduled for April 21 and April 28.

I've used just about every "A" series Canon digicam since the groundbreaking little A20's debut and I've been impressed with almost every one of them. Canon has been the overall U. S. digicam sales leader for almost a decade because they reliably deliver what consumers want in a point-and-shoot camera. Building cameras that are consistently usable, practical, functional, flexible, dependable, and durable constitutes a solid philosophy for success.
Rumors that the megapixel wars were finally over have evidently been greatly exaggerated. The Canon PowerShot A3300 IS is a 16 megapixel digital camera (1/2.3-inch sensor) giving it higher resolution, but with a smaller sensor than today's entry-level DSLRs. Continually crowding more pixels onto small sensors results in exponentially increasing image degrading noise. The A3300 IS is a tough looking (well, maybe not the pink one), durably built little camera. Fit and finish are impressive with good dust/moisture seals and the A3300 IS appears to be robust enough to go just about anywhere.
Ergonomics and Controls
Canon is well known for manufacturing tiny cameras that produce dependably first rate images with very little effort on the part of the photographer and the A3300 IS, like the other members of Canon's PowerShot tribe, continues that worthy tradition. The A3300 IS's shirt-pocket sized metal alloy body conveys confidence - this camera should easily stand up to the rigors of an active modern lifestyle, but the wrist strap should be used at all times - smooth contour cameras (with no handgrips) are easily dropped.
The A3300 IS's minimal user interface is uncomplicated and straightforward with reasonably sized and clearly marked controls. The control array is classic Canon; everything will be familiar to anyone who has ever used a PowerShot camera. Even first time digital camera users should be able to shoot decent images after a short hands-on familiarization with the camera and a quick scan of the user's manual.
The A3300 IS's shutter button is fairly large and surrounded by a standard back-and-forth zoom tab. While the zoom tab is small, zooming from wide-angle to telephoto and back is smooth, easy, and fairly precise. All controls are logically placed and easily accessed. The Compass (4-way) switch and the FUNC button provide direct access to the A3300 IS's most commonly changed/adjusted features and functions. Canon is, in my opinion, the absolute champion when it comes to digicam ergonomics and usability.
Menus and Modes
The Canon PowerShot A3300 IS is an auto-exposure only camera - no manual control over exposure is provided. The menus are simple, logical, and easily navigated. This little digicam offers a fairly basic selection of shooting modes including:
Like most currently available point-and-shoots, the A3300 IS doesn't feature an optical viewfinder and that obliges shooters to utilize the LCD screen for all framing/composition, captured image review and menu navigation chores. The A3300 IS's 3.0-inch LCD screen (230,000 pixel resolution) dominates the camera's rear deck.
The A3300 IS's TFT LCD screen is fairly bright, hue accurate, fluid, automatically boosts gain (brightens) in dim/low light and displays almost 100 percent of the image frame. The A3300's LCD screen performs adequately for captured image review and menu navigation, but it becomes almost unusable in bright outdoor light - note to Canon - this digicam's LCD needs a better anti-glare/anti-reflection coating.
Like all LCD screens, the A3300's LCD is subject to fading and glare in bright outdoor lighting. The DCR test lab objectively measures LCD peak brightness and contrast ratios to assist our readers in making more informed digital camera purchasing decisions. A decent LCD contrast ratio should fall somewhere between 500:1 and 800:1. An LCD with a contrast ratio within that range should be bright enough to use the LCD screen for framing and composition in outdoor lighting and it could also provide a better sense of real world color and contrast than would an LCD screen with a lower contrast ratio.
The A3300 weighs in on the low end of that range at 582:1 - for comparison purposes, Canon's most basic entry level point-and-shoot digicam scores in the mid 400's. Peak brightness for the A3300 IS (the panel's output of an all-white screen at full brightness) is 437 nits and on the dark side, the measurement is 0.75. For reference, anything above 500 nits will be fairly bright outdoors. The default info display provides all the data this camera's target audience is likely to want or need.

By cutting these out into heart shapes there were quite a few offcuts leftover which me and my boyfriend made fairly swift work of after dipping them in the last of the chocolate. The marshmallow was so soft and not at all chewy with just the right level of sweetness and the vanilla flavour was delicious. When the chocolate was set it gave a good texture contrast to the soft marshmallow below and the tart raspberry pieces worked very well with the chocolate. We don't really bother with Valentine's Day but if you wanted to make something a bit different this year for your Valentine then why not give these a go?
Ingredients - makes 20 small hearts or about 30 if cut into squares - adapted from Sweet Things by Annie Rigg
For the marshmallows:
Sunflower oil for greasing
2 tbsp icing sugar
2 tbsp cornflour
6 leaves platinum grade leaf gelatine - I used Dr Oetker
2 large egg whites
pinch of salt
350g caster sugar
1 tbsp golden syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
To decorate:
65g dark chocolate
65g white chocolate
freeze dried raspberries
- Use the oil to lightly grease a 20cm square baking tin and line it with non stick baking parchment and grease the paper too. Alternatively you can use a 20cm square silicone pan lightly greased. Mix the icing sugar and cornflour together in a bowl and use some of it to dust the inside of the tin, tip the excess back into the bowl and reserve for later.
- Soak the gelatine in cold water for 10 minutes until soft. Put the egg whites, salt and 1 tbsp of the caster sugar into the bowl of a free standing mixer.
- Make a syrup in a medium sized saucepan with the remaining caster sugar, golden syrup and 150ml water. Place over a medium heat and stir gently until the sugar is dissolved then increase the heat and bring to the boil. Get a sugar thermometer ready and continue boiling until the temperature reaches 120C then remove from the heat.
- Turn the mixer onto a medium speed, then drain the gelatine and add it to the syrup and stir well to dissolve. By this time the egg whites should have reached a stiff peak and while the machine is still running slowly and carefully pour in the hot syrup in a steady stream. Once you've poured in all of the syrup add the vanilla and continue to whisk for 3-4 minutes until cool. The marshmallow should look white and very glossy, it is ready when the whisk leaves a firm ribbon trail when lifted from the bowl.
- Scrape the marshmallow into the prepared tin and spread level with a palette knife. Leave it to set for at least 6 hours or overnight if you can.
- Once the marshmallow is set spread the reserved icing sugar mix onto a baking tray and turn out the marshmallow onto the tray. If like me you used a silicone pan it may look like the marshmallow is stuck but with a bit of persuasion it should come out in one piece.
- Pour a little oil into a small dish and dip a small heart shaped cutter into it to cut out heart shapes, dip the cutter into the oil regularly to prevent sticking. Alternatively use a greased kitchen knife to cut out squares. Toss each marshmallow in the icing sugar mix to coat and set aside ready for decorating. Reserve the offcuts as a chef's perk and feel free to dip these in chocolate too if you like.
- Melt the chocolates in separate bowls over a pan of simmering water and then dip the marshmallows in the chocolate and top with a sprinkling of freeze dried raspberries. Leave on a tray in a cool place for the chocolate to set then pack into a cellophane bag finished off with a pretty ribbon if giving these away.

D.C. Streetcar Land Use Study Makes Strong Case for Streetcars
Wednesday, February 1st, 2012The D.C. Office of Planning released the District of Columbia Streetcar Land Use Study Phase One report last week after months of anticipation. The conclusions are overwhelmingly good. The report thoroughly analyzes the land use, fiscal and pedestrian benefits of D.C.'s 37-mile system. The report presented a compelling case for how the streetcar system will transform the District into a more livable and sustainable city.
The report shows that building the streetcar system would bring an additional 72,000 D.C. households within a quarter mile of a streetcar line, and this expanded access to transit would mean that more than 50% of D.C. households would be within a quarter mile of a streetcar line or Metrorail station. It states that 100,000 residents along the planned streetcar corridors do not have access to an automobile so streetcars would improve their mobility.
The streetcar system will strengthen the District's economy by incentivizing real estate investment and attracting new jobs and residents along the streetcar routes, thereby increasing our tax revenues. The report projects that the streetcar system would:
- add $5-7 billion to the value of existing real estate and lead to an additional $5-8 billion in new development;
- attract 6,300-7,700 new jobs and 4,000-12,000 new households to D.C.; and
- add $238-291 million per year in revenue to the D.C. government's budget.
The streetcar system will attract new jobs and an easy way to get to those jobs. It also would help reduce residents' transportation costs by providing a convenient alternative to owning and operating an automobile, which can save the average person more than $8,400 per year, according to the report. (An American Public Transportation Association fact sheet not cited in the study states that the average household spends 18 cents of every dollar on transportation, and 94% of this goes to buying, maintaining and operating automobiles.)
Streetcars present the opportunity to improve walkability as noted in the report. Each transit trip begins and ends with a walk, which can provide many benefits, ranging from improving an individual's health through physical activity, to improving one's sense of safety as more people are walking, and supporting local businesses and helping support historic commercial districts across the city.
Streetcars offer the opportunity to take cars off of our roads, reducing energy use and the resulting air pollution and climate change emissions that threaten our future. They offer D.C. a more sustainable and livable future that so many of us are working toward.
The potential for displacement of residents remains a concern. The report estimates that the streetcar system could raise housing values and rents 5-12%, and it identifies housing affordability as an issue that should be addressed. Although it concludes that this increase "appears unlikely to cause widespread displacement[,]" it presents several strategies to mitigate these effects. We believe it is important for the D.C. government to implement such strategies to address this challenge as early in the planning process as possible before real estate values begin to appreciate significantly.
Families will be happy to know that streetcars will achieve better transit access to DC's public charter schools, making it easier for families to stay car free.
In the meantime, it seems clear that streetcars will promote economic development and the health of residents.

A lot of homeowners accustomed to the benefit of modern appliances do not want to return to cleaning all dishes by hand in the sink, or having to transport clothing and linens to the laundromat in order to do laundry. You don't have to cut devices that consume electricity altogether to go green. Instead, upgrade to energy-efficient home appliances. This is the simplest upgrade most people consider when asking themselves exactly what they can do to cut their electric usage.
While updating all your appliances simultaneously can be expensive, you can purposefully plan to replace pieces one by one. Begin with the oldest device you have, or the one that sucks that the majority of energy. You can run some numbers to see if you would come out ahead by making a financial investment in newer, more energy effective models, specifically if your devices are on the older side.
Focus on Your Usage
Simply enhancing your awareness of how typically you make use of electrical power and warm water in your home can do marvels. Optimize your possible cost savings by entering the "green" mindset. Keep in mind, what's good for the environment benefits your wallet!
Pay more focus on your energy use and reduce waste by keeping the following in mind:.
Don't leave lights on in empty rooms. Attempt timers for things like lights if you're not home.
Do not leave the TV on when nobody is enjoying.
Repair dripping, drippy faucets and shut down water when you're not actively using it.
Only run the dishwasher when it's completely loaded.
Insulate Your House
According to Energy-star.gov, numerous homes in America aren't insulated effectively. If your home isn't well insulated, your cash can literally be heading out the window at any time you turn on the heat or AIR CONDITIONER if the air isn't remaining within the walls of your house.
As a quick fix, check the caulking and weatherstripping around your windows and outside doors. For bigger fixes, right here's what you'll want to focus on.
Walls: If you have a house restoration in mind, examining the insulation in your walls can make a distinction. You don't want to go taking down drywall needlessly, however if you're in there, go on and include in insulation as suitable.
Inspect to see exactly what type of insulation is presently in the attic. If you have R-30, you can update to R-38 or blown-in insulation.
Roofing system: Carrying out a huge project such as fixing your roofing system will be expensive, however energy.
Go Eco-friendly and Save Eco-friendly.
To top off the savings you'll get on your energy bills, tax credits and rebates are being offered to those that choose to support the environment. You may likewise get a discount rate from your house insurance coverage supplier if you make green upgrades to your home.

I posted this question on the Appliances forum and received some very welcome advice, including the suggestion that I post here regarding the design question.
I plan to use two separate single wall ovens, one on an inconspicuous wall and the other in a peninsula's base cabinet. For the peninsula, I'm thinking of an Electrolux Icon or Wave Touch. Because of the price difference, the choice depends on how much I spend on the other oven. I would appreciate help in deciding whether the wall oven on the other side of the room (to the left of the dishwasher shown in the drawing below) needs to be the same as the peninsula oven. Would it look strange to use either an LG single wall oven or a Frigidaire Gallery in the wall spot, when the Icon or Wave Touch is in the peninsula? The purpose for having different makes is strictly to save money. Otherwise, I would be happy with 2 Icons. I was all set to use two different ovens, then an appliance salesman convinced me that I should buy two of the same, either the Elux or the less expensive one, since two different oven styles would look odd. Now I'm rethinking whether to get 1 Elux Icon and a basic Frigidaire. I'm not sure whether the appearance would be strange, since they're pretty far apart. Thanks again for the information and advice. |

Hi Fred, I got some great advice when I posted regarding whether my appliance brands should match. I was particularly concerned about my wall oven clashing with my range. I basically got a resounding "don't worry! they don't have to match!" from the GW crowd. The sentiment seems to be "buy what works for you--buy based on the function of each appliance as it applies to your needs." I ended up with a Wolf range about 4 feet away from my Kenmore wall oven, on the same wall, and I couldn't be happier. You're going to spend a lot of time designing a kitchen with many, many design elements that tie in and relate to each other. This will pull your kitchen together. The last thing you need to worry about is matching wall ovens; just buy what you like, what you want, what works Here's the thread I posted awhile back. The replies were really helpful. |
Here is a link that might be useful: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg1013523511177.html
Madeline, What a useful link! I'm still not sure whether having two different ovens will introduce a certain design discord that might be less of an issue with an oven and rangetop. Those two items are shaped so differently even in the same brand, that I totally get that it doesn't make a difference. But with ovens, I'm less sure, since the eye probably expects them to be the same. |
I have a wolf and ge Advantium. They look fine together. Some people ask if it is one oven or 2. On iPhone but if you surf for a2gemini out if abb. you can see a picture. Talk to your appliance salesperson to see if any different trim kits available to improve coordination. Cryptic from iPhone. |
- Posted by fouramblues (My Page) on Wed, Oct 10, 12 at 8:48
Here's that pic of a2gemini's wall ovens: They look great together! Because they're juxtaposed and the same type of appliance, it's my preference that they look similar. But if appliances are not juxtaposed or if they're not the same type of appliance, all bets are off in my book. (My wall oven is next to a refrigerator of a different brand, and they don't look very similar except the finish.) So what I'm trying to say is: it'll look fine if you get two dissimilar wall ovens, since they're not right next to each other, IMHO. |
When we're talking different appliances, you absolutely don't have to get the same brand. Function over form! My first inclination was "of course" 2 of the SAME appliance should be the same, but...they're going in 2 completely different locations. And if one is going to be a work-horse and the other is going to be an "extra" than it doesn't make sense to sacrifice performance b/c you can't afford 2 top-tier ovens. So, feel free to mix and match based on performance and budget! |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Wed, Oct 10, 12 at 9:45
I have 2 ovens of different brands. I have a GE trivection on one wall and I have a Viking in the island. Both are black....that's the uniting element. GE Viking (hard to get a pic in the narrow space) |
definitely you can mix. i think it's even more advantageous to have 2 different ones, to play off each other, which ones are best at what, etc. enjoy! |
- Posted by Madeline616 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 10, 12 at 15:00
I think a lot of people, similar to fouramblues, have 2 different brand ovens stacked right on top of each other because they chose each oven for specific functions. Some have a high-end steam oven and a "regular" oven of another brand. It's all good :) |
- Posted by fouramblues (My Page) on Wed, Oct 10, 12 at 15:44
While I can't claim ownership of those beauties (a2gemini can), I completely agree with you, Madeline! |
Thanks four! I know I can copy from iPhone but just more time consuming and limited time on this trip. Lots of options for mix and match - the fridge is elux and my DW is Miele. I am also into function over fashion. |

Thanks so much to everyone who responded. It gave me lots to consider. I'm still pondering, but decided that I really don't need the Icon's three glide racks, which makes the decision to get two of the same ovens a little less expensive. |

Amid the latest dustup, Indonesia Real Time takes a look at the anti-corruption panel, known by its Indonesian language initials KPK.
The chief judge in the trial of two educators charged with sexually abusing boys at an elite international school has ordered participants not to speak about it publicly, lawyers in the case say, frustrating the defendants and their supporters.
President Joko Widodo took office last October in the first exchange of directly elected presidents in Indonesian history. Now just passing his first 100 days in office, Mr. Widodo has made bold decisions, including cutting fuel subsidies and sinking illegal boats. Here's a look at what Jakartans are saying about their new president.
Indonesian President Joko Widodo is building links with the man he defeated in last year's election, former Army Gen. Prabowo Subianto, with political analysts calling the move a warning to members of the president's own wavering coalition three months into his term.
President Joko Widodo hasn't lived up to people's expectations in his early months of leading the country, a just-released poll suggests.

fire 1 rocket use 3/1, fire 4 rockets use 12/1?
Cannot seem to find anything similar to it's profile in the rulebook.
Now to figure out where I can find some metal strips for the thing.. that turret sure wont stay put

After contemplating trying this for a long time I finally did and Im somewhat undecided on how I feel about it. Its not the best lipgloss I've ever tried and its not the worst either. I like the colors - they do work well for the looks I want. They arent really super sticky but they are thicker than the majority of glosses I wear - luckilly after a few minutes they seem to melt and become thinner. The glitter in the glosses can be a bit annoying - the way you can sort of feel it on your lips. I dont think this is as much of an everyday gloss for me as much as I wanted it to be.
i have the smaller cell phone charm version in frambois magnifique. i love the gloss, it's not sticky, fairly thin consistency, and the color is so pretty and shimmery. it really does have a 3d effect. the only thing i don't like is that it is pretty darn pricey, 9 bucks for a tiny little tube! i think the full size version is probably more worth it. i think i would buy that size next time.
I have 2 shades of Nude collection. I love the colours, it moistures well, but could stay in place longer.It's the only minus ot this lip gloss
Love this l/g. especially all the mini versions... I always try to snag a few sets for gifts and for myself when they come out for the holidays. anyway, the glosses are very moist and feel very light on but also have great pigmentation. very shimmery too!!
Great colors, great packaging, nice shimmer or nice and subtle (on which one you have)....but I they they are a little bit too sticky....BUT that makes them have great staying power!!
I think the brush is crap cause after a while the hairs look at all different angles so it makes the lippie a bit difficult too apply.
I'm not sure if i like this or not.. i got it for going out and adding a touch of glam, but i still find myself opting for my Max Factor Silk Gloss. I find it a bit too glittery and i think it dries out quickly on my lips.. however looks like i'm in the minority on this one as everyone else seems quite pleased!
There is a ton of gloss in these tubes and I love the little applicator brush. These last a long time and smell nice. There are so many to choose from! They aren't too sticky either.
Absolutely love this stuff. Very shimmery, moist but no sticky. Surprisingly, this gloss stays on pretty well. I have this in rose emblematic and I love love love the color. This color looks great on everyone. I have used this color on a few clients so far and they all love it.
I find it strange that I've never reviewed this product before considering it's one of my favourite lippies! I've already repurchased this several times and in different colours, I really love it! Love the taste too. Goes on smooth and easy and gives so much shine, best lip gloss colours I've ever seen. I loooooooooooooove raspberry/strawberry/cherry type colours, and this line of glosses has all my favourite shades. I can never choose just one favourite colour of all of them, I like them all so I have many. Doesn't dry out lips either even though it is true it isn't like a balm. Only tiny little complaint I might have is that having such a tiny brush applicator makes it take longer to apply than many other glosses, but the brush also makes it easier to make precise application and even to use it as a lip liner as well. I'll always keep buying these glosses as long as they continue to exist!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought the nude shade to go with gray smokey eyes, and it works very well! It's not too beige or too pink, it looks very soft and neutral. The problem is that the brush is very very small so it's not easy when you're in a rush. It does not stay on very long but which lipgloss REALLY does?! Expensive or not, it goes away quickly.
The nude shades are easy to wear with anything, day or night, and the packaging and smell are gorgeous!

Got some azaleas at aldis for $2.50 a piece. No tag came with them. Any idea on how big these get? Thought it was a good deal, very healthy looking. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Nick, not knowing Aldis, is that a grocery store chain? Were these indoors, blooming, and not outside in a nursery type section? If blooming or close to blooming and inside, they could be greenhouse plants forced for upcoming Easter, and may not be hardy in the garden depending on where you live. It would be helpful if you could add your zone, State, to your profile....makes a big difference in the types answers you might get to growing questions. I'm assuming you mean evergreen azaleas (as opposed to deciduous, those that lose their leaves in winter), and even if outside and hardy, with no tag there isn't any way of knowing without flowers what they could be. Best bet could be to wait until they are blooming, take a photo and post it, see if anyone can come close. |
Aldi is a grocery store chain with a presence here in the Southeast. It's off my beaten path; therefore, I never patronize the chain. However, I will say that no local grocery store chain prices its hothouse azaleas as low as two-dollars-fifty-cents per plant. They run closer to ten dollars per plant in full-bloom, wrapped in foil with a bow, and ready for gift-giving. I would talk with the Aldi employee who selects the store's plants and ask him/her who supplied those azaleas. Get the nursery's telephone number, and call them to find out about the names of the cultivars. Some of our best and largest azaleas were puchased, as liners, at the dime store for ten cents apiece back in the nineteen sixties. Others from K-Mart, Sears, and other chain stores at about the same time for around a dollar apiece. My how times have changed. Two-fifty sounds like a steal. P. S. This was back when Woolworth's et al. sold little colorfully dyed chicks and bunnies during the Easter Season, long before squawking PETA raised its obnoxious head. One of my childhood Easter chicks grew up to become a dominant, dictatorial Easter rooster who ruled the barnyard with an iron fist. |
Aldi is a "warehouse" supermarket that sells out of boxes. They have stores here in Pennsylvania also. They aren't known for selling plants and probably don't have the slightest idea what they are selling. These were probably house plants for Mother's day and Easter. The original poster didn't say where he (if he is Nick) lives, so it would be a $2.50 risk to try to grow them outside. Of course, there is no guarantee that he has a green enough a thumb to raise them inside either since it is not trivial to keep them going. So my advice is enjoy them while they are still in bloom and then consider anything beyond that as a bonus if it works and no big loss if it doesn't. |
I live in the stl area. Sorry for lack of additional info I was just curious if somebody else had purchased these recently WITH a tag. They had numerous colors pink purple and red, all in bloom. They look similar to my other evergreen azaleas I have planted. And yes for $2.50 I really don't care if they aren't hardy and I lose them. |
I bought some, they were $3.00 near Chicago. The tag says 6" Azalea from Kurt Welss Greenhouses Inc. Here is the address... 95 Main Street Center Moriches, NY 11934 (631) 878-2500 |
The one on the left is a hydrangea, not an azalea. |
- Posted by carolinaflowerlover none (My Page) on Wed, Mar 28, 12 at 20:24
I just wanted to give you a heads up that Home Depot also has some tiny azaleas for $2.50. They will get 3-5 feet by 3-5 feet, according to the tag. |
I realize it's a Hydrangea, I purchased it from Aldi also. I think the Azaleas are really just for the house. The Hydrangea's can be planted according to the website. |
Grocery chains are packed with florist plants for Easter and Mother's Day. The more ruffle-y the flowers, the better! They've probably been treated with hormones to make them nice and stocky for real eye appeal. They aren't really promoted for outdoor use, which is why there is no label. Nick, unless you are planning to gift your pretty plants, you should remove them from the 'hats' so that you can water them properly (in the sink, if you have to), and they can drain. Sitting in water wouldn't be good for them. |
Msdeed, both the hydrangea and azaleas could be planted outside, but neither may be hardy (or flower bud hardy) in your zone depending on where you live. People often don't understand though that these have been on a strict schedule of lighting, manipulated heat, fertilizers and growth hormones to make them bloom at a particular time, with no thought to long term plant health as they aren't grown with gardens in mind....they are grown as florists offerings. They could recover and prove to be fine in the garden, or not. In my mild 8b, I've seen the foil wrapped gift hydrangeas sometimes do quite well. One that comes to mind is a purple hued my neighbor bought for a dinner centerpiece that she later planted. When she moved it to her new home a few years later, it took three men to lift it into the truck ;) If you are looking for garden stock, shop nurseries. If you want some temporary color indoors and would like to plant/experiment outside later, understand their performance isn't guaranteed. |

James Harrison's thoughts
"17 games,1000+ snaps, 100+ tackles, 12+sacks and 2 forces fumbles since my last incident and I get a suspension for a football play!"
Posted on Facebook earlier. He's frustrated, as he should be. |
Re: James Harrison's thoughts
Re: James Harrison's thoughts
Well I'm hoping he comes back pissed and plays hard as hell.
Re: James Harrison's thoughts
He got the suspension because of his rep.
Re: James Harrison's thoughts
unfair treatment maybe a little, but it's life. you can't talk crap about the boss and expect any leeway if you screw up on the job in the future. |
Re: James Harrison's thoughts
His mouth didnt help, his coaches mouth didnt help and the silence from the pansy in the front office didn't help.
James makes a huge point in the stats. So is he forever branded a repeat offender or is there a snap count a tackle count where that goes away? Dam good point James! To bad all but one team objected to the commissioners power in this regard. Well one team of players because I"m sure ownership took Goodells side in the vote. |
Re: James Harrison's thoughts
His mouth never helps him. Comeback furious Silverback:tt04:
Re: James Harrison's thoughts
Re: James Harrison's thoughts
The ONLY good thing about James not playing this week? We're 4-0 without him in the lineup...
Re: James Harrison's thoughts
I understand the "mouth" thing doesn't help him with these things..............but man, what are men supposed to do? Just zip their mouth shut like some kind of minion and be censored? I understand him being frustrated and talking. The dictatorship @ the league office wants all yes men and nobody that talks anymore.

Beta oxidation
This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2011) |
Beta-oxidation is the process by which fatty acid molecules are broken down in the mitochondria to generate acetyl-coA, which enters the citric acid cycle, and NADH and FADH2, which are used by the electron transport chain.
Fatty Acid Catabolism involve three stages. The first stage of fatty acid catabolism is Beta-Oxidation. The second stage is acetyl CoA oxidation to carbon dioxide. The third stage is electron transfer from electron carriers to the electron transfer chain.
Priming the fatty acid for oxidation: Carnitine Shuttle[1]
- Acyl CoA is transferred to the hydroxyl group of carnitine by carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (palmitoyltransferase) located on the outer mitochondrial membrane
- Acylcarnitine is shuttled inside by a carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase
- Acylcarnitine is converted back to acyl CoA by carnitine acyltransferase II (palmitoyltransferase) located on the inner mitochondrial membrane. The liberated carnitine returns to the cytosol.
Once the fatty acid is inside the mitochondrial matrix, Beta Oxidation can begin. It has 4 steps.
Step 1 of Beta-Oxidation: Long chain fatty acid is dehydrogenated to create a trans double bond between C2 and C3. This is catalyzed by the fatty acyl CoA dehydrogenase to produce trans-delta 2-enoyl CoA. It uses FAD as an electron acceptor and it is reduced to FADH2.
Step 2 of Beta-Oxidation: Trans-delta2-enoyl CoA is hydrated at the double bond to produce L-B-hydroxyacyl CoA. This is catalyzed by enoyl CoA hydratase.
Step 3 of Beta- Oxidation: L-B-hydroxyacyl CoA is dehydrogenated again to create B-ketoacyl CoA by B-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase. This enzyme uses NAD as an electron acceptor.
Step 4 of Beta-Oxidation: Thiolysis occurs between C2 and C3 (alpha and beta carbons) of B-ketoacyl CoA. Thiolase enzyme catalyzes the reaction when a new molecule of coenzyme A breaks the bond by nucleophilic attack on C3. This releases the first two carbon units, as acetyl CoA, and a fatty acyl CoA minus two carbons. The process continues until all of the carbons in the fatty acid are turned into acetyl CoA.
Fatty acids are oxidized by most of the tissues in the body. However, some tissues such as the adrenal medulla do not use fatty acids for their energy requirements and instead use carbohydrates.
Activation and transport[edit]
Free fatty acids cannot penetrate the plasma membrane due to their negative charge. Instead free fatty acids pass cell membrane through specific transport proteins such as SLC27 family fatty acid transport protein.[2][3] Once in the cytosol, activation of the fatty acid is catalyzed by long fatty acyl CoA synthetase. A fatty acid reacts with ATP to give a fatty acyl adenylate, plus inorganic pyrophosphate, which then reacts with free coenzyme A to give a fatty acyl-CoA ester plus AMP. If the fatty acyl-CoA has a long chain (10 or more carbons) then it is reacted with carnitine to form acylcarnitine, which is transported across the inner mitochondrial membrane by a Carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase. If the fatty acyl-CoA contains a short chain (less than 10 carbons) it can simply diffuse through the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Even-numbered saturated fatty acids[edit]
Once inside the mitochondria, each cycle of β-oxidation, liberating a two carbon unit (acetyl-CoA), occurs in a sequence of four reactions:
Description | Diagram | Enzyme | End product |
Dehydrogenation by FAD: The first step is the oxidation of the fatty acid by Acyl-CoA-Dehydrogenase. The enzyme catalyzes the formation of a double bond between the C-2 and C-3. | acyl CoA dehydrogenase | trans-Δ2-enoyl-CoA | |
Hydration: The next step is the hydration of the bond between C-2 and C-3. The reaction is stereospecific, forming only the L isomer. | enoyl CoA hydratase | L-β-hydroxyacyl CoA | |
Oxidation by NAD+: The third step is the oxidation of L-β-hydroxyacyl CoA by NAD+. This converts the hydroxyl group into a keto group. | 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase | β-ketoacyl CoA | |
Thiolysis: The final step is the cleavage of β-ketoacyl CoA by the thiol group of another molecule of Coenzyme A. The thiol is inserted between C-2 and C-3. | β-ketothiolase | An acetyl-CoA molecule, and an acyl-CoA molecule that is two carbons shorter |
This process continues until the entire chain is cleaved into acetyl CoA units. The final cycle produces two separate acetyl CoAs, instead of one acyl CoA and one acetyl CoA. For every cycle, the Acyl CoA unit is shortened by two carbon atoms. Concomitantly, one molecule of FADH2, NADH and acetyl CoA are formed.
Odd-numbered saturated fatty acids[edit]
In general, fatty acids with an odd number of carbons are found in the lipids of plants and some marine organisms. Many ruminant animals form a large amount of 3-carbon propionate during the fermentation of carbohydrates in the rumen.[4]
Chains with an odd-number of carbons are oxidized in the same manner as even-numbered chains, but the final products are propionyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA.
Propionyl-CoA is first carboxylated using a bicarbonate ion into D-stereoisomer of methylmalonyl-CoA, in a reaction that involves a biotin co-factor, ATP, and the enzyme propionyl-CoA carboxylase. The bicarbonate ion's carbon is added to the middle carbon of propionyl-CoA, forming a D-methylmalonyl-CoA. However, the D conformation is enzymatically converted into the L conformation by methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase, then it undergoes intramolecular rearrangement, which is catalyzed by methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (requiring B12 as a coenzyme) to form succinyl-CoA. The succinyl-CoA formed can then enter the citric acid cycle.
However, whereas acetyl-CoA enters the citric acid cycle by condensing with an existing molecule of oxaloacetate, succinyl-CoA enters the cycle as a principal in its own right. Thus the succinate just adds to the population of circulating molecules in the cycle and undergoes no net metabolization while in it. When this infusion of citric acid cycle intermediates exceeds cataplerotic demand (such as for aspartate or glutamate synthesis), some of them can be extracted to the gluconeogenesis pathway, in the liver and kidneys, through phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, and converted to free glucose.[5]
Unsaturated fatty acids[edit]
β-Oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids poses a problem since the location of a cis bond can prevent the formation of a trans-Δ2 bond. These situations are handled by an additional two enzymes, Enoyl CoA isomerase or 2,4 Dienoyl CoA reductase.
Whatever the conformation of the hydrocarbon chain, β-oxidation occurs normally until the acyl CoA (because of the presence of a double bond) is not an appropriate substrate for acyl CoA dehydrogenase, or enoyl CoA hydratase:
- If the acyl CoA contains a cis-Δ3 bond, then cis-Δ3-Enoyl CoA isomerase will convert the bond to a trans-Δ2 bond, which is a regular substrate.
- If the acyl CoA contains a cis-Δ4 double bond, then its dehydrogenation yields a 2,4-dienoyl intermediate, which is not a substrate for enoyl CoA hydratase. However, the enzyme 2,4 Dienoyl CoA reductase reduces the intermediate, using NADPH, into trans-Δ3-enoyl CoA. As in the above case, this compound is converted into a suitable intermediate by 3,2-Enoyl CoA isomerase.
To summarize:
- Odd-numbered double bonds are handled by the isomerase.
- Even-numbered double bonds by the reductase (which creates an odd-numbered double bond)
Oxidation in peroxisomes[edit]
Fatty acid oxidation also occurs in peroxisomes, when the fatty acid chains are too long to be handled by the mitochondria. However, the oxidation ceases at octanoyl-CoA. It is believed that very long chain (greater than C-22) fatty acids, branched fatty acids,[6] some prostaglandins and leukotrienes[7] undergo initial oxidation in peroxisomes which is followed by mitochondrial oxidation.
One significant difference is that oxidation in peroxisomes is not coupled to ATP synthesis. Instead, the high-potential electrons are transferred to O2, which yields H2O2. It does generate heat however. The enzyme catalase, found exclusively in peroxisomes, converts the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
Peroxisomal β-oxidation also requires enzymes specific to the peroxisome and to very long fatty acids. There are three key differences between the enzymes used for mitochondrial and peroxisomal β-oxidation:
- The NADH formed in the third oxidative step cannot be reoxidized in the peroxisome, so reducing equivalents are exported to the cytosol.
- β-oxidation in the peroxisome requires the use of a peroxisomal carnitine acyltransferase (instead of carnitine acyltransferase I and II used by the mitochondria) for transport of the activated acyl group into the mitochondria for further breakdown.
- The first oxidation step in the peroxisome is catalyzed by the enzyme acyl-CoA oxidase.
- The β-ketothiolase used in peroxisomal β-oxidation has an altered substrate specificity, different from the mitochondrial β-ketothiolase.
Peroxisomal oxidation is induced by high-fat diet and administration of hypolipidemic drugs like clofibrate.
Energy yield[edit]
The ATP yield for every oxidation cycle is theoretically at maximum yield 17, as NADH produces 3 ATP, FADH2 produces 2 and a full rotation of the Citric Acid Cycle produces 12. In practice it's closer to 14 ATP for a full oxidation cycle as in practice the theoretical yield isn't attained, it's generally closer to 2.5 ATP per NADH molecule produced, 1.5 for each FADH2 Molecule produced and this equates to 10 per cycle of the TCA (according to the P/O ratio), broken down as follows:
Source | ATP | Total |
1 FADH2 | x 1.5 ATP | = 1.5 ATP (Theoretically 2 ATP)[citation needed] |
1 NADH | x 2.5 ATP | = 2.5 ATP (Theoretically 3 ATP) |
1 acetyl CoA | x 10 ATP | = 10 ATP (Theoretically 12 ATP) |
For an even-numbered saturated fat (C2n), n - 1 oxidations are necessary, and the final process yields an additional acetyl CoA. In addition, two equivalents of ATP are lost during the activation of the fatty acid. Therefore, the total ATP yield can be stated as:
- (n - 1) * 14 + 10 - 2 = total ATP
- 14n-6 (alternatively)
For instance, the ATP yield of palmitate (C16, n = 8) is:
Represented in table form:
Source | ATP | Total |
7 FADH2 | x 1.5 ATP | = 10.5 ATP |
7 NADH | x 2.5 ATP | = 17.5 ATP |
8 acetyl CoA | x 10 ATP | = 80 ATP |
Activation | = -2 ATP | |
For sources that use the larger ATP production numbers described above, the total would be 129 ATP ={(8-1)*17+12-2} equivalents per palmitate.
Beta-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids changes the ATP yield due to the requirement of two possible additional enzymes.
There are at least 25 enzymes and specific transport proteins in the β-oxidation pathway.[8] Of these 18 have been associated with human disease.

Next Mazda6 to go four-cylinder only
Beneath the gorgeous and impossibly long looking hood of the Mazda Takeri Concept lies plenty of real estate. By our estimation there's room for any number of powerplants, from a high-revving rotary to a twin-turbo V6. However, when Mazda launches the new 2014 Mazda6, which will ape the looks of the Takeri show car, it will only contain a measly little four-cylinder, according to Autoweek.
So that's being a bit harsh, as despite the reported demise of a V6 engine option for the Mazda6, at least it will be getting a Skyactiv four-banger, according to the report. Skyactiv is, of course, Mazdaspeak for its suite of technologies that includes its next-generation powertrain with direct injection and a fancy new automatic transmission design, a combination we liked a great deal when we sampled it in the CX-5 crossover.
With Hyundai, Kia, and Chevrolet having dumped their V6s in favor of an all four-cylinder lineup for their midsize sedans, we're not surprised to see Mazda follow course. We do, however, wonder how the beleaguered Japanese brand intends to compete when it comes to performance.
With 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque, the 2.0-litre Skyactiv four in Mazda's new crossover isn't particularly powerful, so we hope we might see a slightly larger displacement version with a few more ponies for the bigger sedan. Or one with forced induction. Or how about a diesel engine option? Mazda has promised a diesel for North America, though it hasn't specified which vehicle it will arrive in. The automaker has committed to deploying a stellar 2.2-litre turbodiesel four making 173 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque for the CX-5, at least in Europe. Now that might be just the ticket to make a top-trim Mazda6 get up and go.

Jo-Jo Reyes took the hill for the Toronto Blue Jays last night, facing the potent offense of the Texas Rangers. Reyes allowed 6 runs, 5 hits, and 1 walk in just two and two-thirds innings. His team battled back to but ultimately lost the game. After this ugly outing, Jo-Jo Reyes improved his ERA from 6.20 to 5.48.
Thanks to a marginal scoring decision, Jo-Jo Reyes' ugly pitching line last night all but disappeared as the runs are classified as "unearned" due to the "error" by Edwin "Encarnacion." The tough shot down the line he snared and fired to first earned him an error and Reyes a free pass to go strikeout-wild pitch-walk-single-double-hit by pitch-single-double-shower.
A truly miserable pitching performance from a highly dubious big league starter salvaged by an outdated model of defensive value. Luckily, knowledge is power.
An amazing article on ESPN Stats & Info today provides some invaluable insight into how modern defensive statistics work, illuminating their value and versatility in one fell swoop.
The article, written with data from Baseball Info Solutions, lays out the extraordinary nature of Brent Lillibridge's game-saving catches in New York. No trickery, no fudged stats, nothing that might stand between a non-believer and the value of video-based analysis.
The play (see it at the 2:00 mark of this video) was a line drive hit towards the right field line. The ball was in the air – from the time it left Robinson Cano's bat until it reached Lillibridge's glove – for approximately 2.5 seconds, according to BIS. Since the beginning of the 2010 seasons, 61 balls were hit into this spot with that amount of hang time. Three were caught.
Had Cano hit the ball harder such that it reached the spot just a half second sooner, it would almost certainly land safely. 21 balls reached that spot in the field (a 10 foot by 10 foot zone in the outfield) in 2 seconds or less, all 21 went for hits.
This is the future. Scratch that: this is the present. No hazy interpretations as to what was or wasn't a playable ball or what constitutes an ordinary effort and what makes a run earned or otherwise. Just the facts and the excitement.
When the Field f/x system is fully rolled out, the added bonus of fielder distance traveled will further elucidate what it means to show range. Ball was in the air for X seconds and you had to run Y meters? Excellent. Either you catch it or you don't.
The possibilities are endless; the realities are that much more clear. Who takes the most direct routes? Who covers the most turf? Who makes the most plays with the least "effort?"
As for unearned runs, well, who cares? They still count on the scoreboard despite the fallacy of the pre-determined outcome. If we're predicting the future based on what should have happened when defense is bad, why not do the same when defense is good?
Oh, right. There is no shortage of pitching stats which do that already. There will always be misplayed balls and great catches, guys with fall-down range and liner-gobbling glovemen. The runs are the runs, no sense trying to make arbitrary distinctions between what counts and what doesn't.

Legal ruling blows hole in side of file-sharing site
The decision to make UK ISPs block access to the Pirate Bay file-sharing site is akin to bellowing 'ice-berg straight ahead' from the crow's nest of a certain well-known doomed ocean liner.
If only someone had thought of moving a bit quicker then things really could have worked out very differently.
The internet is so many things to so many people, but it remains an enormous free sweet shop for many. A declining number, no doubt, but a significant one, nonetheless.
What's more, they sail the sometimes rocky waves of the online world and cast anchor for as little or as long as they feel all is safe and the pickings up plentiful.
At the first sign of a storm cloud on the horizon or an end to the food supply these nomadic folk simply click-click-click and off they go to another site.
And this goes on. And on.
A few high profile 'crackdowns' see a few sail off into the sunset never to return, but the majority just get wiser and continue none-the-less.
What is more, the legal system is so unbelievably slow, the Pirate Bay, while gaining support from those who use such services, had long since stopped being a regular port of call for many.
After all, why visit somewhere which has legal teams crawling all over it?
And it has always been the way online.
Years ago it was Napster and Audio Galaxy – back when ISDN connections provided whizz-bang speeds the like of which made your mouth water.
Then the internet was acknowledged as being so full of tasty treats it made Willy Wonka's chocolate factory look boring in comparison.
You simply pointed your browser in the right direction and pinged off the end of it like a giant diving board, before splish-splashing about gathering as many free things as your feeble download connection could handle. Which, back then, in truth, was probably not much.
But it felt like it.
One thing you could be sure of though, by the time the authorities slowly eased into view, those who used them were nowhere to be seen by the time they boarded, seized equipment and taken them off the high seas.
It's a little like those who seek their live football illegally. Finding a reliable haven to view Premier League action is one which claims no loyalty – just a steady picture and, ideally, commentary in English. But if the picture keeps going or slowing, well they disappear faster than Fernando Torres' form following a major transfer.
The web police are faster now, of course. They have speedboats too. And can shutdown operations in moments. But those who fed off them simply head off to find the next person who wants to share their Sky signal with the world.
Blocking off the Pirate Bay's traffic is too little too late.

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 Dixie!
Facts about Dixie
- Breed: Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua Mix
- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
- ID#: Puppy LePew Rescue
Dixie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Dixie was rescued from a kill shelter. She is 2yrs old about 8-10lbs. Great with other dogs and loves to play. She likes to be in your lap but is happy to be in the same room with you as well.
If you are interested in adopting this dog PLEASE paste the following link your browser. http://www.poochesonthemove.net/puppy-lepew.html Do this BEFORE emailing for more information. It will answer most of your questions and access an application if you'd like to fill one out.
Other Pets at Puppy LePew Rescue - Spring Valley, NY
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dixie, a Spring Valley Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua for sale in Spring Valley, or seeking a Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Spring Valley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Spring Valley 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 Spring Valley 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 Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua breeders who help with Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Spring Valley paves the way for another one to be saved.

How To Apply rel="nofollow" To Content In Drupal
By gerardmcgarry on 2nd April 2008, filed in Drupal, Search Engine Optimisation. You can skip to the end and leave a response. Pinging is currently not allowed. Tags: Drupal, SEO, Tips
If you've got a community website using Drupal, you might want to protect your site from spammers by applying the rel="nofollow" attribute to any links your users generate.
The theory behind this is that you protect your site from linking to 'bad neighbourhoods' an possibly incurring penalties with Google for spammy links. Rel="nofollow" is your way of saying – as the site owner – that you can't vouch for the quality of those links.
Anyway, you probably already know the reasoning – let's show you how to set this up.
Configuring Nofollow On Input Filters
Yes, that's right. The "nofollow" attribute is configured on Input filters. Go to your Drupal administration pages and browse to Site Configuration -> Input Formats.
Normally you want the default Input Format set to Filtered HTML for user-generated content. This allows your users the ability to use HTML formatting without having access to insert scripts or other disruptive things on the site.
- Click on the configure button for Filtered HTML. You'll see under the Filters heading that a number of filters are activated. If the HTML Filter isn't activated, then activate it and save your changes.
- Click the Configure button at the top of the page and you'll see how the filter is currently configured.
- Activate the option for Spam link deterrent and save the settings. All outgoing links will now have rel="nofollow" applied to them.
Refining With Access Permissions
If you want to be especially clever about it, you could modify permissions so that regular members and anonymous users get the Filtered HTML input by default but set your 'trusted members' up with access to a less restrictive Input Format such as Full HTML.
But that's a conversation for another day, folks…

Spammers really don't care about the nofollow attribute.
I suggest you use something effective.
- Gerard McGarry said on April 2nd, 2008 at 8:04 pm :
Actually, I'm playing with Mollom for Drupal at the moment. However, the point I made still stands – if you allow users to link out from your site and they link to bad link neighbourhoods and spammy sites, the reality is Google may penalise your site.
This isn't necessarily about stopping spammers – it's about minimising the effects of bad links and protecting yourself against penalties.

Thanks for that, it is exactly what I was looking for! (except I will apply it on comments)
