Beautiful, large purple tomatillos! Many are a bright violet color throughout their flesh and are much sweeter than the green types; it can be eaten right off the plant. (90 days)
Each packet contains approximately 30 seeds.
Planting Instructions:
Start seed indoors 4 to 8 weeks prior to the last frost of spring. Seeds are covered only slightly to allow light, which sometimes assists germination. Keep the soil evenly moist. Seed trays are held in warm conditions until sprouts appear, which may take anywhere from 3 to 10 days, depending on temperature, moisture, etc.
Move seedlings immediately to bright light conditions, such as a south-facing window or under a grow light. After the last frost, transplant them into the garden and space 2 to 3 feet apart.

State claims pop-up ads violated computer spyware and consumer protection laws
SEATTLE – Attorney General Rob McKenna today announced a settlement with a New York man that provides restitution to Washington state consumers who purchased the software program QuikShield Security. The agreement resolves allegations that James Lane enticed consumers to purchase his software through the use of pop-up ads that simulated Microsoft Internet Explorer alerts and that he failed to provide an easy method for consumers to remove the program from their computers.
"It is illegal in Washington to induce consumers to download software under the guise that the program is needed to protect themselves and their computers," McKenna said. "Businesses that attempt to deceive or mislead consumers should be warned that the Attorney General's Office will continue to use our enforcement powers to protect the public. But companies must also do a better job of complying with the law. The same rules apply for online advertising as they do to print, radio and television."
The consent decree filed today in King County Superior Court concludes a three-month investigation by the Attorney General's Consumer Protection High-Tech Unit. The agreement does not include any specific findings of wrongdoing. The state's complaint filed simultaneously alleged violations of the state Computer Spyware Act and Consumer Protection Act.
Lane cooperated with the state's investigation. He did not admit any fault as part of the agreement, but agreed to fully reimburse customers in Washington State who purchased QuikShield and request a refund. He must also pay $10,000 in civil penalties, with $5,000 suspended on compliance with the settlement terms, and $6,444 in attorneys' costs and fees.
Lane owns and sells QuikShield Security, a program purported to protect consumers' computers from receiving pop-up advertisements, block "chat" windows, and clear a computer's Web surfing history.
According to the state's complaint, Lane advertised the program through the use of a pop-up ad that simulated a Microsoft Internet Explorer system alert. The ad read," Security Alert – your computer is vulnerable to receiving excessive popup ads. Would you like to install a popup blocker to prevent popup ads from appearing on your screen?"
"Numerous consumers downloaded QuikShield in response in response to Lane's ad," said Assistant Attorney General Katherine Tassi. "It convincingly resembled a warning from your computer."
Any attempt to close the popup by clicking "OK," "Cancel" or the "X" in the upper-right corner launched a Web site offering consumers the opportunity to install QuikShield "absolutely free." If a consumer accepted the offer, the program installed itself.
"But our investigation showed that there was never any intent to offer a program at no charge," Tassi said. "Because consumers who downloaded the program then received pop-ups that resembled error messages, followed by a solicitation to purchase the program for $19.95."
Following installation, any consumer who attempted to shut down QuikShield encountered additional problems after clicking on "exit" on the icon in the system tray. Upon rebooting, another pop-up appeared resembling a system warning. It stated, "A critical component is not functioning. Your computer may be vulnerable. Re-activate now to ensure continued protection."
The only obvious way to close to the pop-up was to click "OK," at which point a QuikShield Web page opened displaying the following message: "If you received a message that your security software is not functioning: For a limited time, you may purchase a non-expiring version of QuikShield," which will allegedly protect your computer from "popup window viruses."
The state's complaint also alleged that Lane intentionally misrepresented that the software could be uninstalled by the computer user. In fact, the investigation found that the program did not appear in the Add/Remove Programs option in the Windows control panel. Even if a consumer located the QuikShield folder on the computer's hard drive and deleted it, the software remained on the computer because it actually resided in the Windows directory. Furthermore, a difficult-to-find uninstall option removed only some program components.
The settlement restrains Lane from failing to provide an operable install function for any products he sells or markets, misrepresenting the source of an advertisement, misrepresenting that security or privacy functions on a consumer's computer are not working properly, or using the "X" button or other images typically associated with closing a window to perform any other function. It also prohibits him from failing to clearly identify the cost of a product or service or creating a false sense of urgency or need to purchase a product or service.
Refund Requests Washington consumers who purchased QuikShield can request a refund by filing a written complaint with the Attorney General's Office. Complaints can be filed online at www.atg.wa.gov or request a complaint form by calling 1-800-551-4636 (toll-free number only available in Washington State). Consumers must file complaints within 45 days. The settlement does not apply to consumers in other states who purchased QuikShield.

I am not a great baker, but I am very proud to say that these cupcakes turned out perfectly. They were, as my mom put it, "very decadent." The cake was moist and the chai flavors are wonderful for winter (not to mention the holidays).
It was not an easy task however. Not only was there filling to make, but because it's an Indian recipe, from Indiaphile, there are numerous spices and various ingredients that go into the mixtures. The time spent was well worth it, but know to set aside a few hours.
Ginger Cupcake Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tbsp ground ginger
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup candied ginger, finely chopped
1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
3 eggs
2 tsp fresh grated ginger
1/4 tsp ground cardamom seeds
3/4 cup milk
Chai Cream Filling
3 tbsp milk
1 tbsp black tea leaves or 2 black tea bags
4 oz mascarpone cheese
1/4 tsp ground cardamom seeds
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch saffron
1/2 tsp bourbon (optional)
1/2 cup powdered sugar (or more if you like it super sweet)
Mascarpone Frosting
12 oz mascarpone cheese
4 oz cream cheese
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 pinch salt
To Make:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with paper liners and set aside.
Whisk together the flour, ground ginger, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
Toss in the chopped candied ginger.
In another bowl, beat the sugar and butter.
Beat in one egg at a time.
Add the fresh grated ginger and cardamom and beat for a few more seconds.
Beat in a third of the flour followed by half of the milk.
Then beat in another third of the flour, the last half of the milk and finally add the last of the flour.
Scoop the mixture into the paper liners and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. It's important not to overcook.
Meanwhile, make the chai filling.
Heat 3 tbsp of milk in a small saucepan on the stove.
Add in the tea leaves and steep for 5 minutes. Then strain.
In a small bowl, beat together the mascarpone with the spices.
Add 1 tablespoon of the strained milk tea to the cheese and beat well.
If using bourbon, add it and beat well. Add the powdered sugar.
Take a cooled cupcake, carve out a hole from the top with a pairing knife.
Fill with chai filling and place the top back on.
For the frosting, beat together both cheeses in a bowl.
Add in the vanilla, ginger and salt.
Add the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time and beat until all the powdered sugar is mixed in and the frosting is smooth.
Frost and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Translate this page Jury Selection Delayed for Trial of Man Accused of Deadly Sexual AssaultWednesday, June 12th, 2013 Issue 24, Volume 17.
Kenneth Daniels, 26, of San Jacinto could face the death penalty if convicted of a dozen felony charges, including first-degree murder, elder abuse, forcible rape and special circumstance allegations of killing during the commission of a rape and during the commission of a burglary. Riverside County Superior Court Judge Angel Bermudez continued to hear arguments today from the defense and prosecution regarding evidence and witnesses to be submitted during trial. All pretrial motions will likely be completed by the end of next week, and during the week of June 24, some 320 prospective jurors will be summoned to Bermudez's Murrieta courtroom for questioning as to their availability and qualifications. Opening statements in the case are tentatively set for July 8, Deputy District Attorney Jess Walsh told City News Service. Daniels, who has been in custody without bail since Dec. 28, 2007, is accused in three separate assaults -- two of which involved the same woman -- at the Oak Terrace Apartments, 551 N. Santa Fe St. The gated facility is reserved for residents 55 years and over. Daniels allegedly broke into the apartment complex in the predawn hours of Aug. 21, Oct. 19 and Dec. 11, 2007. In the latter instance, 74-year-old Rosemarie Edwin was beaten to death. Daniels allegedly forced his way into the wheelchair-dependent victim's apartment and attempted to sexually assault her, but she apparently resisted. Daniels repeatedly struck the woman in the head, inflicting fatal injuries, prosecutors allege. During the Aug. 21 and Oct. 19 attacks, the defendant allegedly pushed open an unlocked balcony door to access a then-63-year-old woman's flat. During a July 2008 preliminary hearing, the victim, identified in court documents only as Jane Doe, testified that she had fallen asleep in Advertisement She said she initially thought she was having a nightmare but soon realized there was an intruder present and tried to flee out the front door. The victim testified that Daniels -- whom she positively identified -- punched her in the head, knocking her down, then pummeled her until gaining her full compliance. According to the victim, the defendant forced her to orally copulate him because he was having difficulty getting an erection, then he "did his business and got up." After the rape, the woman testified that Daniels gestured to her telephone, saying "There's the phone; I gotta go now." According to the victim, she suffered a fractured cheek bone, broken eye socket, several chipped teeth and a badly dislocated shoulder. She was still in recovery when, almost exactly two months later, Daniels allegedly returned, breaking into her apartment the same way he had before. "And I said, 'No, not again. Please no, not again,"' the woman testified. She alleged that Daniels replied, "You know the rules," and forced her into the bedroom and raped her, leaving soon afterward. She moved out of the apartment weeks later. After Edwin's death, Hemet police officers began staking out the complex on a nightly basis. Around 2 a.m. on Dec. 28, 2007, a suspect clad in dark clothing was seen jumping a fence ringing the building, and officers began tailing him. They lost sight of him briefly, and about that time, a resident called 911 screaming that a man was trying to break into her apartment. According to Hemet police, officers spotted the suspect leaving the location and attempted to stop him, at which point a struggle ensued, with officers having to forcibly restrain the 6-foot-3, 185-pound defendant. About eight months after charges were filed in the case, then-District Attorney Rod Pacheco said Daniels' alleged "vicious and remorseless acts ... against an elderly and particularly vulnerable victim more than justify the ultimate penalty." 1 comments

CobraCo™ - The Brand for Premier Innovative Outdoor Living Décor
Excellent quality and price. Will usually last for 2 summers.
Love Home Depot because they carry this 14" cocoa liner at a really great price. Also staff is so knowledgable and helpful.
These handy basket liners are fresh & easy to use. Every year I dump the old ones and replace with clean, nutrient rich soil & fresh plants. Looks great & is a great value. I like reusing my baskets to save money & the environment,
The product was qulaity made and fit the metal hanging basket perfectly. I will buy others as needed from The Home Depot!
performed as needed, seemed a little expensive, but still made purchase.
Couldnt find the 14" Coconut liners at Lowes or Home Depot. What they did sell was the one-size-fits-all liners and didnt want the liners looking homemade.Plus the cost of them was nearly what a new basket and liner would cost. So when I checked on line, I stumbled across these liners and took a chance on them and ordered 10. Was pleased with them and will order more next spring. I highly recommend them at the price.
Once you have finished decorating your deck with flower boxes, you will want to use planter liners to either protect the planters, to encourage healthy plant growth, or both. There are various types of planter liners available that are suitable for use in virtually every type of flower box, container or biodegradable coco planters. Whether you have planted your own flower boxes or bought them ready-made, plastic planter liners or biodegradable coco planter liners will extend their life by preventing them from rotting. These planter liners are available preformed, or you can cut what you need from a large roll.
You can even use ordinary plastic saucer types as planter liners, but then you will need to allow for drainage, either by making holes in the planter liners. The best off-the-shelf planter liners include plastic or biodegradable coco planter liners, which provide some sort of drainage to prevent the plants from becoming waterlogged.
Innovative self-water, self-irrigating planter liners are a great time saver for busy people who either don't have the time, or forget to water their plants, however can be quite costly. These plastic planter liners come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, usually with an insert that must be filled with water once every two or three weeks. These planter liners often take away the guesswork of how much water you need to give your plants because they monitor the moisture levels.
Suitable alternative types of planter liners are made from biodegradable coco fibers. Coco planter liners are readily available, and they absorb moisture nicely helping to keep the plants in a healthy environment. Coco planter liners are also inexpensive and add a natural appeal to outdoor décor.

Train And Jepsen Cancel Boy Scout Appearances

Of all the versions of Carley Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe', this version from the residents of Waverley Mansion Retirement Home in Ontario, Canada might just be my favorite.
At the 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards tonight (Nov. 11), there were a few fashion faux pas and "What were they thinking?!" offenses committed by pop stars.
A singer from Alabama is suing Carly Rae Jepson, Owl City, the writers, publishers and record company over the song 'Always a Good Time.' Ally Burnett says they committed copyright infringement
Congratulations, Carly Rae Jepsen! The Canadian cutie nabbed the prestigious Billboard Rising Star Award for 2012 -- and based on past winners, she's in wonderful company.
Singer Carly Rae Jepsen, who will release 'Kiss' tomorrow (Sept. 18), is red hot in her spread in the October issue of Glamour.
Carl Rae Jepsen probably made enough cash and buzz off of 'Call Me Maybe' to sustain her for a lifetime, but not necessarily to sustain her stans for that long. The good news for fans of the preternaturally youthful 26-year-old? Snippets of her album 'Kiss' hit the Web, and they were pretty good. The bad news? They got yanked pretty swiftly by Universal Music Group.
Kelly Clarkson is at it yet again! The first 'American Idol' winner — is it safe to finally recognize Clarkson for her massive success without mentioning 'Idol' yet? — covered another hit song, this time at the Mixtape Festival in Hershey, Penn.
"Oh my gosh, I love that song. But it kind of co
- Oh, girl! Carly Rae Jepsen revealed the cover art for her album 'Kiss.' The pop star looks pouty and gorgeous clad in red and turquoise on the cover of her sophomore LP.
Watch your back, Carly Rae Jepsen! Lady Gaga ain't too happy with you.
At this point, trying to count how many videos include Carly Rae Jepsen's viral hit 'Call Me Maybe' is akin to counting how many stars there are in the universe. Abercrombie & Fitch models have lip-synced it, the Cookie Monster has spoofed it, and even Katy Perry and her friends released their own homage, after Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez did their own.
But while we may not know exactly how many versions are out there, we do know the latest 'Call Me Maybe' video to gain fame: ladies and gentlemen, we give you the US Olympic swim team.

Review of chapter "Episode 84: Conversations with Dead People" from
I know it was a huge battle and Xander got all beat up showing how powerful it was but it just seems kinda anti climatic, more due to how big and nasty they made the first for the last season, leaving all those plot holes and inconsistencies any who loved the chapter have to admit the resemblance to the 7th season episode had me skimming over certain parts to get to the nitty gritty but it's all good. now they can relax a bit...Wonder how they are going to destroy 'Hell'?
On a side not can you clarify something about souls, are they all ending up in the firsts stomach, under a gods control etc because the gods monopoly made it sound like it in the previous arcs, then the 'angels' were added, are the 'angels' going to end up as zealots of some elder god (think Raiden), it would explain why the so called 'God' (capital G) relies on faith as to it's existence instead of showing it's face, the elder gods rules of non interference see.
In any case I wonder how many flames you'll get from involving Christianity, Till next time :)
Comments from author:
Only the souls on the Hellmouth went to hell, and I know of two exceptions. The first is Gunn, whose soul was destroyed/consumed by the SoulEater Bunny demon. The other one... well, that's telling. As for the rest of the souls, you'll have to keep reading, you'll see. Most souls though, like the souls who were in the First, they're just gone.

Review of chapter "Episode 83: The Past, The Present, and no Refunds" from
I went through the BZ saga from chapter 1 to here, the current chapter. Says a lot about the story if there's someone willing to read 83 episodes of fiction (plus the DBZ rewrites). Overall I like the saga very much, but there have been a few things I'm not very giddy with (hey, you're the author, you can do what you like and I'm not telling you what to do, just expressing my opinion).
1. Buffy is getting a lot of shit thrown at her throughout the saga. A bit too much in my opinion. Sure she's screwed up a from time to time (not staking Angelus as soon as he lost the soul - but hey -debatable if that's good or bad considering Angel became one of the greatest champions out there. On the other hand, neither did Xander though it would have been laughably easy for him to dust Angel. Based on that you could say that Xander failed to step up as a hero on a lot of occasions all because he wanted to keep himself hidden, thus leading to the death of a lot of people. On that note wasn't that fear that Frieza could sense him a bit too irrational? After all his father invented the trans-dimensional travel and the lab got blown up with the rest of the planet) but nobody is perfect. Whatever happens, Buffy seems to be the one getting the most abuse in the saga (if we leave out Faith's past). What's with the bias against her? Going all S&M on Spike/Harm, constant self-doubting etc. seems a bit too out of character. In the show Buffy came unhinged only when something truly bad happened (Dawn got taken by Glory/resurrection). Here she seems to be pretty insane most of the time - and main reason seems to be her inability to cope with the fact that Xan-man is now stronger than her. She has fought enemies that were stronger than her before so it seems kinda strange for her to start getting delusional because Xander suddenly got tough.
2. Vamps using chi - are they not dead bodies animated by a demon? Then where the hell comes the chi - the life force? Wouldn't it have had more sense to say they use their demonic energies? In the show vamps are described as cold, no heartbeat, no breath (unless they want to - you know, for speaking, smoking, oral...pleasures). So where do they get their life energy?
got some questions too - 1) Oz gonna show up at some point? Coz - he's cool... Would be nice to see him making an appearance or something. Would a werewolf be like the equivalent of the saiyan? - both transform at the full moon, just maybe the over-abundance of the energy in this dimension prevents them becoming giant werewolves, acting as a compression chamber of a sorts :P (fantasy running wild here).
2) You named this one "Angels Saga" but I don't see more of Angel in this saga than the previous ones. Is he going to be more in the spotlight later on?
3) Is Gunn finito - done for and all the jazz?
4) What is Xander going to do about Raiden? He's been kinda helpful, so is he off his "beat up on sight, then beat up some more, and if it still moves, blow it to smithereens" list of Gods?
Comments from author:
Point 1: I don't consider Angel a great champion, more like the opposite. He's a selfish bastard who let an army of demons loose on the world. Indeed Xander 'failed', but at least he had a good reson. Buffy is very much the same character as in the show, the same personality. The reason for her going nuts are that her whole worldview is tossed upside down, and has less to do with Xander being stronger, than everyone else including her kid sister surpassing her, and thinking SHE needs protection while she's the Slayer that should be protecting them. This is rather expounded upon in the episodes just before her transformation, the transformation itself, and episodes just after. And indeed, Buffy has that superiority complex that sent her over the edge, she had it before becoming the Slayer and being a cheerleader bitch worse than Cordelia, and she still has it much later: she even explicitly admits she has it in S7 episode "Conversations with Dead People". Do notice she's managed to beat that major character flaw. She no longer has that complex, and if you look at her from the that side of her character she might now seem to be self-doubting, but she really isn't: she knows her limitations, that's all. Now though, Buffy's on the way up, she's back to being her old loveable self from season 1, minus a superiority complex that got her to do the most damnable things.
Point 2: What do you think a demon is? Literally translated 'deamon', means 'spirit'. And what is 'chi', and 'life force' but 'spiritual' energy. So indeed, vampires have chi, demonic chi, but chi nontheless.
Question 1: There's no plan for Oz to show up. And no, a werewolf is not the equivalent of a Saiyan. A saiyan is a species, a werewolf is a human infected by a disease. Also, Xander transformed in his giant monkey state even here, he was not a small monkey, but a giant one.
Question 2: If this were the saga of "Angel the Vampire" it would be Angel's Saga. (Notice the comma). As it is, it's the Angels Saga, as in those Angels that are sent to convince Dawn she must believe in God and use her keyness to defeat the human evil.
Question 3: Yes.
Question 4: Xander can't hurt Raiden, whether he wants to or not. At the moment he's on the list, but it won't really stay that way.

Review of chapter "Episode 83: The Past, The Present, and no Refunds" from
Are you going to do more on what exactly is the first, like how you made the PTB into bitches playing chess with lives and useing them for pleasure, or leave it as the intangible personification of evil itself...can't see that since you have at least another 4 saga titles afterwards and it would be pretty hard to top a force that had been around for all of existance growing more powerful with every evil dead, blah, blah, blah.
When is there going to be a superhuman for the BZ-verse, given the difference in power wouldn't dawn have been able to reach it in the DBZ-verse when they visited, is there going to be a superhuman 2 level, and is there more to buffy and her beau's relationship, cause it seems kinda weird...much better than a corpse...but weird
That's all, thanks for the epic that doesn't suck ass...although I can't really talk my attempts don't make over 15 pages on word...and it still sucks :)
PS is Xanderzone shut down it hasn't been active for months, or is it simply lack of stories
Comments from author:
The First and its nature will come up in the next episode.
As for Super Human: no. It doesn't matter what the surrounding energy levels are, it's the person that matters. When it comes to Super Human it's more skill than power. In fact, since the Super Human comes from pulling energy directly out of another plain of existence, the more energy (Buffy verse) the more easier it would be, and thus HARDER in the DBZ-verse. Hence Krillin and co. considering how much easier they can do things in the Buffy-verse, and that it was as if they were "coming home"
Krillin reached Super Human level 2 in "Hero Defined", the DBZ/SM crossover 'meanwhile' story. Which you can find on here I believe, as well as on my homepage.
The Yahoo group XanderZone gets still lots of stories. The Archive hasn't been updated mainly due to reasons from the archiver, and that it's becoming too big to handle on his own.

Review of chapter "Episode 81: Choose your Destiny - It Waits for No One" from
Finally read all of the Z series and like them, you obviously take a lot of time on them and I am greatful. Although when the time comes to release the super vamps I can just see them smirk and blow the them away. I guess that means no army of Slayer look forward to the rest of the series. Might be cool if you did something with the Majin Buu series. I mean Xander is already super 4 and gohan is still super 3 so they should take Buu out easy. Anyway it is something to think about

Ah, my bad. Given the general nature of the content of the chapter, though, it's hardly surprising my mind misinterpreted your intentions with the "do her sister's ass too" sentence.

Review of chapter "Episode 80: Potential Trouble - International Rescue" from
Considering some of the stuff I've written I never thought I'd say this, but I could really do without half of the sexual stuff you seem to be intent on cramming into your work. I'll admit to taking part in a little PWP fun here and there, although most of my stuff does tend to be part of the plot, but it's never good when people can yawn, and hit page down a few times until the next scene starts, and not miss any events that would impact their knowledge of the story.
The ass-fucking thoughts on Buffy's part didn't do anything for the story nor did they seem natural to the character, and until her tryst with Spike, we never saw her as an especially sexual person. Xander and Anya are really the only two people in BtVS (Anya more-so than Xander) I can see going at it frequently just for the hell of it; with most anyone else it just feels forced.

In the entire chapter 'ass' is not once on its own. In the entire chapter 'butt' does not once appear. In the entire chapter 'fuck', does not appear, not even as an expletive. What the FUCK are you talking about?

Our Hoya (probably kerrii) is growing off of its bamboo support stake and we wonder if you all might have experience with the best way to support a Hoya in a greenhouse? We could put it on a small trellis or train it up into a corner or other ideas you might have. Thanks and happy growing! |

Chris uses chains, and that seems to work pretty well. He has a lot of Eriostemmas, which aren't nearly as woody as kerrii, but still tend to grow very up and straight, so it's a similar scenario. Here's one link, I know there are more threads where he posted pictures, but I can't find them atm. Anyway, I like that method. |

Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Finance if he will extend the banking guarantee; the cost to the Exchequer for doing so; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19104/09] Deputy Brian Lenihan Deputy Brian Lenihan Deputy Brian Lenihan: As the Deputy will be aware, in my Supplementary Budget speech on 7 April I announced that the Government intends to put a guarantee in place for the future issuance of debt securities with a maturity of up to five years. Work is currently underway to deliver this commitment which is subject to State aid approval from the European Commission. An amendment to the Credit Institutions Financial Support Act 2008 will be required which it is intended to introduce in the course of the current Oireachtas session. As I stated on 7 April last, access to longer-term funding in line with the mainstream approach in the EU will contribute significantly to supporting the funding needs of the banks and to securing their continued stability. As is the case for the current CIFS guarantee the covered institutions will pay a fee for the State guarantee so no cost is expected to arise for the State other than in respect of the cost of administering the arrangement. Deputy Kathleen Lynch Deputy Kathleen Lynch Deputy Kathleen Lynch asked the Minister for Finance his views on his first six month review of the performance of the bank guarantee and the appropriateness of its charging model; the arrangements for the next six month review; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18951/09] Deputy Brian Lenihan Deputy Brian Lenihan Deputy Brian Lenihan: Under paragraph 8 of the Credit Institutions Financial Support the Minister for Finance may review and vary the terms and conditions of the Scheme to ensure that it is achieving the purposes of the Credit Institutions Financial Support Act, 2008. The Scheme states that at such a review, the Minister shall consider, inter alia, the continued requirement for the provision of financial support under the Scheme with regard to its objectives and section 2(1) of the Act. This review is currently being finalised with a view to formal submission to the EU Commission as required under the Scheme. The next review of the Scheme for State aid purposes is due by October 2009 at the latest. Paragraph 22 of the Scheme relates to the Minister's role in reviewing on a six month basis the application of the guarantee charging model to ensure that it supports the achievement of the purposes of the 2008 Act and the recovery of the aggregate cost to be borne by the State as a consequence of the provision of the guarantee. This review of the basis of the application of the charging model is expected to be completed shortly to ensure that the guarantee charge yields the full expected amount. Deputy Jack Wall Deputy Jack Wall 565 [565] Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Finance his views on reports that Anglo Irish Bank will require upwards of €2.5 billion in extra capital in order to repair its balance sheet; the way he proposes to finance an increase in capital at Anglo Irish Bank; the prospective timescale for such a capital injection; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18966/09] Deputy Brian Lenihan Deputy Brian Lenihan Deputy Brian Lenihan: My Department is in ongoing discussions with Anglo Irish Bank on a range of matters, including the bank's capital position. To date, no significant direct cost has arisen to the Exchequer in respect of the nationalisation of Anglo. As the Deputy may be aware, the main exposures at Anglo relate to lending for Land and Development and connected exposures. As for all banks, the treatment of such assets held by Anglo is currently being examined in the context of the establishment of the National Asset Management Agency. The Government has stated that support will be provided as necessary to Anglo, consistent with EU State aid requirements. Dáil Éireann 682 Written Answers. Financial Institutions Support Scheme.

Disabato: St. Rita riding high at 17-0
By Pat Disabato firstname.lastname@example.com Twitter: @disabato April 16, 2014 8:40PM
St. Rita's C.J. Santoyo delivers against Minooka during the Phil Lawler Summer Classic at North Central College in Naperville, Ill., on Monday, July 22, 2013. | Corey R. Minkanic/For Sun-Times Media
Updated: May 19, 2014 12:56PM
It's difficult to determine what's more impressive about St. Rita's 17-0 baseball record: that the Mustangs have played 17 games during this hazardous spring or that they've won all 17 games.
Knowing that Mustangs coach Mike Zunica would be willing to play in an oversized igloo if allowed, I'm more impressed with his team's 17-game winning streak.
That St. Rita is perfect through Wednesday (after a 7-0 win over Gordon Tech) isn't a total shocker. The Mustangs were the preseason No. 2 team before unseating No. 1 Mount Carmel two weeks ago and are coming off the summer league state championship.
Additionally, this is a program that's won 30 games nine times and advanced to four state finals in the past 17 seasons.
Still, 17-0?
"I'm not surprised," Zunica said of his team's streak. "This team has a great mind-set every day. They don't feel like they won anything except for a bunch of preseason games."
In reality, that's all the Mustangs have won. Plaques and trophies aren't awarded for winning a bunch of nonconference games.
However, the Mustangs have exhibited an air of dominance during their impressive run. The team batting average is a robust .352. The team ERA a minuscule 1.08. They've outscored opponents 155-19.
That's borderline cruelty.
"I'm not surprised at all," St. Rita senior Jake Shepski said. "We knew going into the season we had a real good team.
"Everyone worked hard during the offseason."
It's showed during the first three weeks of the season. The pitching staff has been a pleasant surprise. Mike Costanzo, an Austin Peay recruit, has been dominant on the bump — that's not a surprise —boasting a 5-0 mark and 0.56 ERA. Junior Tyler Halas, already committed to Tennessee, has stepped up his game and is 4-0 with a 1.02 ERA.
Junior Matt Lenzen and senior C.J. Santoyo (Utah) are vying for the No. 3 spot in the rotation and each is 3-0.
At the plate, Halas, Shepski, Nick Goldsmith, Nate Soria and Mateo Zunica have been feasting on the competition.
"I like our approach and the way we're swinging the bats," Mike Zunica said. "But there's room for improvement."
Now that's scary.
No one, however, has meant more to this run than Shepski, who is making a case for Player of the Year honors. He's hitting .500 with three doubles, four triples, two homers, 19 runs and 20 RBI. On the mound, he's yet to allow an earned run over 101/3 innings, has three saves, struck out 16 and walked one.
"Jake's having a phenomenal year," Zunica said. "He's hitting the ball, playing good defense and his ability to come in and close games is unbelievable."
A three-year varsity starter, Shepski is signed, sealed and delivered to Notre Dame. He's an infielder/pitcher by trade. However, Zunica approached him during the offseason about moving to the outfield.
Listen up, moms and dads, boys and girls: Shepski could have resisted the position change. Heck, he's a three-year varsity player and likely will be playing middle infield at Notre Dame. Players with that stature don't change positions. Shepski, however, didn't think twice about making the move.
That's the essence of a team player.
"Coach thought playing the outfield would allow me to focus on my hitting and it would be better for my arm," Shepski said. "It's been fun. I've thrown some guys out, made some diving plays. It's all about helping the team win games."
Shepski has battled a sore right arm the past two seasons while playing shortstop and pitching. The move to the outfield seems to have agreed with his arm.
"This is the first year my arm hasn't bothered me at the beginning of the year," Shepski said. "I really like closing. It's always a close game and I like the adrenaline. The team looks to me to close it out. It's a really cool situation."
It's also pretty cool to be undefeated.

Army of Darkness
this wiki
The Army of Darkness, also known as the Dark Army and Creatures of the Dark, is a monstrous army made purely of dark magic.
Towards the end of Season 1, the Trix seemingly stole the Dragon Flame from Bloom and used it to summon the army and destroy Red Fountain. When the Trix were defeated, the entire army vanished before everyone's eyes because Icy, Darcy and Stormy no longer had the strength to command it, and because the power of the army depended on that of the Trix.
One important characteristic is that for each monster cut or killed, two more wil appear. The monsters can also unite into one beast. Only a possessor of the Dragon Flame (or something with equal power) can summon it with its spell, though Griffin told the Trix that nothing can control it when they revealed their intentions of summoning it. However, since at the end of the season it was revealed that the Trix never really had the Dragon Flame, it remains unknown how they were able to control it. It may have been because they in fact believed that they really had the Dragon Flame that made them strong enough to control it.
- In the 4Kids version, it is called the "Army of Decay".
- In the German dub, it is called "Armee des Todes", which means "Army of Death".
- Army of Darkness is also the name of the army of Deadites appearing in the Evil Dead film of the same name. In addition, the book used to summon the Army of Darkness resembles the Necronomicon from the Evil Dead series.

G. Tayhas R. Palmore, Professor and Director, Brown School of Engineering Electrochemical Reduction of CO2: Storing the Energy of the Sun and the Wind The technology to capture energy from the sun and the wind is rapidly expanding on the global level. Large-scale integration of this technology into a national grid requires the storage and/or conversion of this intermittent energy. Several technologies have been proposed including grid-scale electrochemical reduction of CO2 to valuable chemicals, including fuels, which effectively store intermittent sun- and wind-based energy for future use. This presentation describes an important step in the electrochemical reduction of CO2 at metallic electrodes, namely the introduction of defects favorable for the reaction of adsorbed hydrogen atoms with adsorbed CO2. Cu and Sn foams produced in our laboratory are mechanically robust during their preparation, handling, and use as electrocatalysts for the reduction of CO2. Both Cu and Sn foams are attractive metals for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 because of their low cost and non-toxic nature. Opportunities for graduate study and professional careers insustainable chemistry and engineering also will be presented. |

Robert Hurt, Professor, Brown School of Engineering Nanotechnology for Energy and the Environment Nanotechnology has been one of the largest and most transformative international scientific movements of the past 15 years. It has produced a wide variety of new materials and devices that are now serving as building blocks for the development of 21st century technologies in the areas of energy, environment, computing, and health care. This talk gives a brief overview of the state of nanotechnology with emphasis on its application to challenges in energy and the environment. Examples will be given of the use of nanotechnology for the design of next generation batteries, fuel cells, lightweight materials, environmental sorbents, filtration membranes, and catalysts for sustainable manufacturing. Opportunities for graduate study and professional careers in nanotechnology R&D will also be discussed. |
Andrew Peterson, Assistant Professor, Brown School of Engineering Designing catalysts for artificial photosynthesis from the ground up Most chemicals and fuels today are made from fossil-fuel resources, such as petroleum, natural gas, and coal. Conversely, when nature designs carbon-based chemicals and fuels they are synthesized directly from CO2 in the atmosphere, through photosynthesis. If we could design processes that utilize CO2 as a feedstock, we could transform our chemical and fuel industry into one that more sustainably takes the same approach as nature. In this talk, I will describe how we are designing catalytic materials for the efficient and selective conversion of CO2 into building-block chemicals. Specifically, I will discuss our efforts to combine first-principles electronic structure calculations with state-of-the-art synthetic techniques to design catalysts that maximize the number of active sites for the selective conversion of CO2 to carbon monoxide, while minimizing the number of sites for competitive reactions. Additionally, ab initio design principles will be introduced that outline the basic strategies for building an electrocatalyst optimized for CO2 reduction. |
Shouheng Sun, Professor, Brown Department of Chemistry Design and Synthesis of Nanocatalysts for Selective CO2 Conversion Our research in Brown Chemistry and CCI focuses on developing nanoparticle catalysts for selective electrochemical reduction of CO2 to other reusable carbon forms, such as carbon monoxide, formic acid, methanol, methane and ethylene. The goal of this research is to achieve sustainable supply of chemical fuels and feedstock for energy |

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 Blaze!
Facts about Blaze
- Breed: Greyhound
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Blaze's Info...
I am already spayed, purebred, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Blaze just didn't have the speed to be a racer so at nearly 2 years old she is a retiree.
Other Pets at Greyhound Rescue Foundation of Tennessee
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Blaze, a Knoxville Greyhound dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Greyhound for sale in Knoxville, or seeking a Greyhound dog from a breeder in Knoxville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Knoxville 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 Knoxville 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 Greyhound breeders who help with Greyhound rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Knoxville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Last long run in the books. It was 75 but raining and north wind so felt cooler. We did this one on our hilly route so I'm sore! 19 @ 8:00 with a fast finish. Last four in 7:17, 6:59, 6:52 and 6:32. Felt good and strong and a confidence boost after my failed MP run on Wednesday. Time for a nap.
Great runs!
2013 races: Eugene, 3:13. Missoula, 3:18. Twin Cities, 3:11.
Officially signed up for Napa Valley, which means this week is week 24.
Interesting. Very interesting.
Jim -- we might need to consider a 26.2 mile training run in March.
Ha, that would be awesome...and then I assume FB would head off for a 30-mile bike ride?!
GIM: Interesting stuff on the biomechanics. I think I've always tended to land more toward the outside of the foot because of my Morton's toe, but whenever I've done speed work, I think I've tried to get more push off of the middle of the foot. Perhaps that's the wrong approach? Hmm...
Aggie: Strong last LR for you. Enjoy the well-earned nap!
Gpops: Good luck with your last one tomorrow. So how have the legs been holding up?
Hey to everyone. Hope you're getting some of the gorgeous weather we're having right now.
Wrapped up my week this morning:
76 for the week (4 short of a weekly mileage PR). Also hit 2200 for the year today.
HG! So glad to hear from you and and that your running is going well!! Please do stick around
Aggie - full race platter for you then. Congrats on the strong run today!
Omar - looks like you may have some company at Napa
Gpops - enjoy that last one
Hey all
20.6 for me this morning at 8:01 OA. Able to start a little later than usual due to soccer games being cancelled which was great for the sleep but made it a little warm towards the end. Overall a pretty solid run to end the week.
Su - 8
Th - 14.3
F - 8.5 am 3.6 pm
Sa - 20.6
Total 81.1
"But the from way I see it, you can either run from it, or... learn from it." - Rafiki
Reading the article GIM linked to, you aren't even supposed to push off. The push comes from the thigh. Very interesting stuff. If the guy is right, I have a lot of changes to make.
OMR, your foot will automatically roll into the middle of the foot so by the time time you're pushing off, middle of the foot is correct (though the big toe is where the final push happens). To see how it works, check out this very cool pdf (choose the first entry on that page, the link won't work if I try to link directly) about foot mechanics: on page 7 there's a wonderful graphic representation of the bottom of a shoe showing force patterns from both midfoot and heel-striking.
-----------------------------------------Testing, testing....123. This thing still work?
FB, as much as I respect Steve Magness, some of the stuff I'm not 100% on board with, like I've felt pawback and it was cool, like running on a stationary treadmill. The way it felt was somewhat powerful, so I'm not sure I'd eschew that. Also, I take into consideration that he's dealing with fast kids from the get-go, so some things (like paying attention to the foot/butt distance) though I don't think too much about it, it does help me to focus on stuff like that occasionally even though he says it's an automatic action. Maybe it is for fast kids but for this old lady, getting my heels up isn't a bad thing. So anyway, take what works but don't treat anything we read as gospel, it's all about what works for your personal machine. My 2 cents anyway.
HikerGirl and so GIM draws another back in, welcome!
Strong weeks, NickS, OMR and Aggie, Jealous am I.
Gpops enjoy the last long run.
FB the foot mechanics thing is very real, look at the stuff from the Gait Guys on Tumblr.
One important thing we overlook about mechanics esp at the foot is the role of the great (big) toe. Important to check the flexibility of the big toes, I have hallux limitus on my left foot and that causes the inward roll to be interrupted on the left relative to the right and thus increases the forces on my right knee. I do toe yoga and wear the correct toes to help increase the flexibility
Weights and 8 easy today.
Another wonderful resource is The Gait Guys http://thegaitguys.tumblr.com/
They have a ton of great videos on gait and biomechanics on their Youtube channel and the blog is great, lots of stuff I've been able to use. I found his video lectures on Hip mechanics to be fascinating but they also have a lot of applied running videos.
Oh lol, Dls! You mentioned the Gait Guys, too! Yup, great stuff!!
I also have hallux limitus and this could have been my foot! That pink area and buildup is the same as mine. I've been working on single leg balance which is making a huge difference!
I haven't mentioned but all this stuff I'm into of late came about because I was sick of the blisters I'd been getting all summer and found a podiatry forum that mentioned tight gastroc, that got me onto dorsiflexion and now the foot.
Ok, thanks for the heads-up, Gpops, it's a really weird link, won't work directly, so here's the Google page it's the first entry there.
you really gotta like this thread.
any of the NorCal-ers here do Kaiser Permanente half in Feb in SF?

Gpops - measure the distance on short, steep hill at 21. Have a good one. What is temp supposed to be tomorrow?
OMR - nice on the mileages. I may hit 2200 for the tear and have only been over 70 a few times. Maybe I can increase weekly miles for next race.
Nick - same to you on the miles and your run. Do you run everyday every week?
dls - you going to post a pic of your guns like TTM? That didn't look real.
GIM and FB - I think I'm going to stick with my gait. That stuff confuses me and I've been injury free for a while. Enjoyed reading your blog FB.
Omar - nice week and YTD, I'm a little over 100 miles behind you
GIM - thanks for all the info and links, something for me to look at after this cycle maybe
Doc - I'm jealous of your times!
Gpops - I hope the Gophers look better than my Vols, sloppy
Zab - 80's Jazz works best
rlk - hey
Aggie - I will try and run everyday for the next 2-3 weeks which will mean 4-5 in a row. The plan I'm using doesn't call for days off for close to 11 weeks but I took one off the first several weeks.
Aggie and Nick, I wouldn't recommend major form changes just for the hell of it to anyone. I think it's something to look at seriously if A) you have a problem that needs fixing or B) an obvious "energy leak" that could be helped by a change. Totally not for everybody. I'm just glad FB's into it, it's fun to talk about this stuff.
Zab, Bears football always make toe yoga more interesting, although my Steelers are in for a pounding unless this is one of Cutler's choke weeks.
No TTM guns here, since I went 90% vegetarian, it has been all I can do to keep what strength I had.
Fast moving train.
Happy Birthday Kinase. Yesterday was mine too. (Bigger numbers)
Great MP run too.
HG and Zab sightings. Cool!
Nick/OMR ~ Very strong weeks.
Nick ~ Enjoy having a teenager! And good luck!!!
Aggie ~ Great FFLR. Lots of dogs!
PJ, McBen, Nick ~ Wednesday, huh. Hang in there.
I'm sure the rest of you did great stuff on p.68 or earlier. Too far back.
12.5 w/ 6.25 @ 7:00. Alternating 400m (or so) @ HM and 3/4 mi HM+40. Too difficult. Hopefully humidity, hangover, and hunger were contributing factors.
Somebody is racing. I can't keep up. Good luck!
A 16 y/o XC Runner stuck in a 51 y/o body.
I'm just glad FB's into it, it's fun to talk about this stuff.
All in.
1. Land on the soft outer part of my foot, with my foot totally relaxed. Not clenched in fear of the pain of landing.
2. Roll totally relaxed inward, and then over the ball of DLSMD's big toe.
3. Land on a relaxed bent knee.
4. From this solid and flexible platform, use my thigh to produce an upward/outward (optimally angled) piston motion, dragging the foot along for the ride. Never, ever did this before.
Ignore everything else. It's really interesting seeing how much of your body is totally relaxed. That's gotta be more efficient than being clenched up.
13.5 @ 8:12. 6:45, 5:46 last 1.6 miles.
Dad, Happy Birthday! Sneaky devil, not saying so till now.
Happy birthday Dad!!
Dad -
Is this the BIG FIVE O???
- rovatti
I prefer to view it as "new AG"!
Congrats on the new AG, Dad!
Happy Birthday, Dad!
Nick: Solid week from you, with a strong LR to wrap it up.
FB: Continuing to crank up the speed, I see.
Gpops: No kids...that's where I find the time!
GIM: Dayum! I don't think I roll inward. Oh well... Oh, by the way, I sometimes have an "energy leak" when I run, but it usually has more to do with my diet than my form.
happy bday, Dad! new AG woo woo!
waited for the SF rain to end and then did my 20mi. did basically the counter clockwise perimeter of san francisco - aka some trails and climbing in the NW corner. and then lovely flat along the great highway. but did a lot of miles (and the drinking, not sleeping..) this week which i think is why my hips and pretty much everything feel pretty creaky. as a 21y/o, creaking ain't really my style, haha.
Everyone rolls inward unless you're a supinator, you're just not aware of it, it's natural pronation caused by the arch dropping as weight is put on it. And if you're a supinator your shoe wear pattern would let you know that (as well as injuries). Lol, watch out for that leak, sounds ugly.
Yeah Rlk, you're too young to be creaky, stop that.
justin - hope the rain allowed for a good long-run in BR
pepperJ - this guy better be a better runner than your two
nick - not sure, but did you just call an 81 mile week 'pretty good?'
FB - spring chicken legs?
gpops - way back when, I lived in Minneapolis. some place called S Bryant. But my parents were never into the gophers.
kinase - you asked for photos...
aggie - I'm with you. I can't change my gait anymore than I get rid of procrastination
rlk - agreed. 21 y.o.'s don't creak.
Dad - happy late b-day.
Got 8 miles in yesterday morning, which felt good. Hoping to get a bit more in this afternoon, but we'll see. First we drove a couple hours so DW could run a scenic 12k trail run in the rain. Me and the boys geocached (unsuccessfully) near some caves. Then we drove another hour to pick up Ronny, our 2 month old Australian shepherd. I picked him because they're hella cute, but also they make every top 10 running dog list I found on-line.
M - 3:20:04 (9/13) | HM - 1:30:49 (6/13) | 10k - 41:32 (3/12)
Runbohem - Great pick! Also very smart and loyal breed.
Gpops - How did LR go?
coolest morning since early May here.
week - Monday off
Tuesday easy 7.7 @ 8:53
Wednesday TM 6 @ 7:28
Thursday TM 9.3 @ 7:23
Friday off
Saturday LR w/ FF 19 @ 8.00
Sunday recovery 8.4 @ 8:55
50.5 for week.
Everyone have a great Sunday!
Well, I had to check the wear pattern on my shoes, and yep...my toe off is more middle-to-outside of foot, not over the big toe. This probably explains why I tend to get big callouses on my 4th toe. Could also explain my injury issues last year. Interesting stuff.
rlk: +1 to GIM. Leave the creaking to us old farts.
runbo: Nice pup! The scenic trail run sounds like fun...except maybe for the rain part.
Aggie: Nice week, and congrats on getting some cooler weather.
8 "easy" for me this morning. I think cumulative fatigue is starting to hit, cause I felt pretty wiped out by the end. So...now the work begins...
OMR, excellent! Everyone should check the wear pattern on their shoes, it can tell a really important story, especially when you seen uneven wear from one foot to the other.
FB, so this is funny. The whole knee bend thing (not talking about during the drive phase, but throughout the whole run, lowering the COG) is something I hadn't read anywhere, only one place talked about runners sometimes running "too high" but it was something I figured it out from my own problems and with the help of a mirror (that's why I was surprised you found value in it). But anyway, to my delight, yesterday I downloaded this cool free book by Gordon Pirie called Running Fast And Injury Free and he talks about that very thing on page 17 of the PDF (16 of the doc). "The runner's legs should remain flexed at the knees. A feeling of "sitting" with the seat down "like a duck" is employed with the body upright. An athlete who runs correctly will actually appear to be shorter than other runners of the same height who are not running properly. By keeping his knees flexed and by landing on the ball of the foot on each step, and with the foot beneath the body, the runner will spring along very quietly."
Granted, this is old stuff, but it's pretty cool to find my observations aren't wackadoodle. As for my run today, I had fun, 8mi making a point to bound a little more and feel knee drive (always helps to have some fastie guy pass the other way to remind you what excellent running looks like). Felt really good.
Belated Happy Birthdays to rlk and Dad!
WTG with the YTD mileage, OMR! I finally broke 1400 miles for the year and probably won't break 2000 for the year.
Killer weekly mileage total, nickshawn!
Good stuff about running form, GIM.
Happy tapering, GP and aggie!
Great, now FB has speed to go with that incredible endurance.
Adorable new addition to the family, Runbohem!
I guess I'm officially training.
Tuesday--6 @ 9:07
Wednesday--9.2 @ 8:29 (included 8 x 45 second fartleks at sub 5K pace)
Thursday--5 @ 8:56
Friday--5 @ 9:13
Saturday--19.5 @ 8:26 (AHR 155, 74% HRR)
Total--44.7 miles
The NACN Restoration Project has officially started. Based on my HR data, sub 3:25 in Memphis looks possible.
Getting back on track. Screw that, NACN!! is back on track!
2014 Goals--1:28 HM, 3:12 FM
Long term Goal--Sub 3:00 FM by age 50
Recent PRs--8K, 30:43/HM, 1:25:32/Marathon, 3:28:14 3:04:52, 3:00:55

More reviews by sarahlittlecutie
I like this product and i really love the packaging, it comes in a round black compact with giorgio armani written where you open it, it looks really classy and expensive. The powder is for use with a puff or a brush i assume but i use it with a brush for sheer coverage. It is like a more transucent version of benefit dandelion in my opinion, it makes my skin look healthy and 'alive' without the hint of pink i get from the dandelion. Its quite expensive but it is a great product for ppp-lll-fff

Welcoming is the first of five stages of young adult ministry development in congregations. Find more information on the five stages.
There are not really any young adults in the congregation. If they visit, they do not tend to stay. Other congregations in the area may have vibrant young adult groups, but they don't seem to have found us yet. In the congregation there may be a desire for the involvement of younger generations of adults, but it is hard to know where to start.

This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.
