Smallscreen - Real Time with Bill Maher
In 2003, Maher became the host of "Real Time with Bill Maher" on the HBO cable television network, a debate show somewhat similar to "Politically Incorrect," but with a narrower selection of guests.
Maher told Terry Gross of NPR's Fresh Air in 2004 that he enjoys having more serious and well-informed guests on his current program, as opposed to the random celebrities that fleshed out his roundtable discussions on Politically Incorrect.
Since May 2005, he has been a contributing blogger at The Huffington Post.
Maher is an American comedian, actor, writer, and producer. He hosted the late-night television talk show Politically Incorrect on Comedy Central and ABC, and is currently the star of Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO. On June 1, 2006, he also began hosting an Internet-exclusive talk show on Amazon.com entitled Amazon Fishbowl.
Maher is known for his political satire and sociopolitical commentary. His commentaries target a wide swath of topics, from the right-wing to the left-wing, bureaucracies of many kinds, political correctness, Hollywood, the mass media, and persons in positions of high political and social power, among many others. He supports the legalization of cannabis and gay marriage.

I think I know what needs to be done, but only a few could be told or it wouldn't work. It's what Bush is doing right now, or thinking about it, in Iraq. It has been used before, I believe during 'Desert Storm'. It worked then and it would work again, given proper consideration and time to progress. It may only take a few months or weeks, but it could definitely work. It could be continuous with very little expense.
Think about this: If every form of broadcasting media would insert suggestive subliminal directions toward 'peaceful' relations with each other, in thier respective languages, nobody would want to terrorize their planet-mates or have 'control' of all of our world resources and assets. We really could all live happily, sharing, contributing to the good of all. Imagine how it could be, feeling secure and at peace with the world. All it would take is Suggesting it be done. You can begin making it happen. Worldwide messages promoting peace. How can that be wrong? All's fair in love and war. We can be the peacemakers of the world and noone has to know. We would have our rewards.
Trickle down doesn't work. Big business entices small business into 'invest' into their ideas. So they do. Big business invests more into their ideas. Their stocks go up. Small business is impressed, they invest even more. Stocks keep going up. Great. Everybody is happy. Then when the Big Guys get worried that Barack Obama might somehow get lucky and end up investigating our financial structure, the Big Guys pull out. They grab the money and run, leaving the little guys in the lurch. What do they care? They got what they wanted from day 1. Remember, one of first things George W. Bush did when he took control, was give himself a 100% raise. It's not the economy, it's the GREED.
We can't take it any more. We need someone who has morals and ethics and good judgement. Like Soloman. We need Barack. It's time America did something right.

I've tried adding a couple tablespoons of corn syrup towards the end of my mixing but is there a better way, time or something else altogether? Sometimes I feel the color dries a little flat or a little too matte. Thanks in advance! I've got a big cookie order coming up and I'd love to impress the pants outta them! LOL.

Free Outdoor Adventures: Nature Centers, State Parks and Wildlife Refuges
New Jersey is a diverse 8,700-plus square miles, featuring coastal plains, pine barrens, mountains, rivers and rolling hills, farm land and more – and the best way to enjoy the true beauty of our state is take a hike at a local nature center, state park or wildlife refuge center. Often, sights have visitor centers explaining the geographical features of the region, wildlife viewing stations and rangers to answer questions. Best of all, many are free! So put on your walking shoes, grab a water, and pack a picnic for a fun-filled (and free) day exploring the beauty and nature of New Jersey.
Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge - The center covers 7,768 acres of varied habitats and is an important resting and feeding area for more than 244 species of birds; Fox, deer, muskrat, turtles, fish, frogs and a wide variety of wildflowers and plants can be found on the refuge. BONUS: Visitor Center and miles of trails and boardwalks to explore.
Trailside Nature and Science Center – It may seem small, but it is chock full of displays, including live animals, dioramas, exhibits on Native Americans, the night sky and more. BONUS: Located in Watchung Reservation, there are miles of trails, a deserted village, and a fabulous playground in the "Loop".
Liberty State Park – Enjoy miles of nature with the NYC skyline as the backdrop. BONUS: Central Railroad Terminal of New Jersey AND Richard Sullivan Nature Area are adjacent and there are ample spots to play and picnic. Morris Pesin Dr., Jersey City. (201) 915-3402
The Highline – Walk above the NYC streets on the transformed subway line. BONUS: The landscaping along the elevated route is beautiful PLUS make sure the kids bring along a 'good eye' to spot some of the paintings on the walls of the nearby apartment. Don't forget to bring a snack for the kids and lounge on bench.
Freylinghausen Arboretum – Spend the day exploring the blooming landscaped gardens, including wetlands, native woodlands and the meadow. BONUS: There is a Braille Garden for our sight-impaired friends.
Hawk Rise Sanctuary – A short, but beautiful hike along a converted landfill, marshlands and wooded boardwalk. BONUS: Interpretative signs explain the history of Hawk Rise and provide a good lesson on landfills and how they can be returned to nature PLUS lots of birds. Range Road, Linden.
Wharton State Forest - The Wharton State Forest is the single largest tract of land in the NJ State Park system. Enjoy unspoiled nature as unpaved paths lead visitors past rivers and streams, lakes, ponds and fields ideal for spotting wildlife. Alert visitors (and quiet children!) can spot Bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, marsh hawks, ospreys, great blue herons, swans, screech owls, great-horned owls, bluebirds, hummingbirds, purple martins, goldfinch, turkeys, beavers, river otters, fox and deer. 31 Batsto Road, Hammonton. (609) 561-0024.
Cape May State Park - Cape May State Park highlights the varied ecological systems of the area. Three different trails – red (.5 miles long AND wheel chair accessible), yellow (1.5 miles long) and blue (2.0 Miles Long) lead visitors past ponds, coastal dune, marsh and forest habitats. Sharp eyes can catch a glimpse of wildlife from observation platforms, especially resident and migrating birds. The park was once a military base, and the gun turrets of a bunker are still visible at low tide. It stands as an important testimony to a time in the Jersey shore history and the soldiers who protected our country from enemy attack. The Cape May Lighthouse is also in the park – at 157-foot-high, the lighthouse is still in use. Visitors who climb the 199 steps to the top of the lighthouse are rewarded with a spectacular panoramic view of the scenic Cape May peninsula. Admission to the lighthouse is $7 for adults, $3 for children ages 3 to 12. Children under 3 are free. (609) 884-2159
Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park - 70 miles long, the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park is one of the states most popular recreational corridors. Starting in Milford and ending in New Brunswick, the park winds through small towns, past wooden covered bridges and offers a glimpse into the history of NJ along the waterway. Distances between towns vary – but remember it is not a loop, so however far you walk, you'll have to walk back to your car (and not all entrance areas have parking). Another great idea: Bring Your Bikes!
Double Trouble State Park - Who wouldn't love to visit a park with that name! Double Trouble is a great example of the pines barren ecosystem, as well as a chance to learn about the Pine Barrens watershed and the states cranberry agriculture. There are a several different looped trails to choose front, running past Cranberry bogs and a reservoir. In the fall, the bogs have been harvested, although check the website for updated information. Historic homes can also be viewed, although they aren't restored and are not open to the public. Bayville. 732-341-6662
Brendan Byrne State Forest - The Brendan Byrne State Forest is the second largest in NJ at over 34,000 acres. There are 25 miles of trails that wind through the Pine Barrens along sandy trails and roads. Also, catch a glimpse of the remains of Whitesbog Village, a town that was once a bustling center of the cranberry and blueberry industry, and now illustrates the evolution of New Jersey's agricultural industry. Whitesbog Preservation Trust holds special events throughout the year. New Lisbon. (609) 726-1191
Tenafly Nature Center and Lost Brook Preserve - Located on approximately 380 wooded acres of hardwood oak forest, this nature center has 7 miles of trails, looping through the woods, past Pfister's Pond and a buttonwood swamp. Wildlife and wild flowers abound year round. Visit The Nature Center's interpretive building for maps of the trails and natural history exhibits. Special programs are offered. Tenafly. (201) 568-6093
Warren Fox Nature Center - Located in Estell Manor Park, the Warren Fox Nature Center is a great place to learn about the nature of the area – staff members are available to answer questions. Then head off for a hike – The Swamp Trail Boardwalk starts from behind the nature center and winds through mixed woods, maple swamps, and eventually to an outlook of the Great Egg Harbor River. Along the boardwalk you pass through a cedar swamp and a small streambed with a variety of plants and animals. If you look toward the South River you might see a Bald Eagle or an otter. Birds abound throughout the year! Estell Manor Park. 109 Boulevard Route 50, Mays Landing. (609) 625-1897
Cooper Environmental Center - Located in Cattus Island State Park, the Cooper Environmental Center houses a large exhibit space, including live lizards and fish as well as a number of hands-on displays relating to the local environment. After getting an overview of the area, head out for a hike - the area includes fields, salt marsh, upland forest, and beautiful beaches on Silver and Barnegat Bays. Cattus Island State Park also contains a beautiful Butterfly Garden. In addition, visitors can pick up Nature Discovery backpacks at the center. Special Programs are often held on the weekends. Cattus Island County Park. 1170 Cattus Island Blvd. Toms River. (732) 270-6960
James A. McFaul Environmental Center - Founded in 1967, the land was originally home to a pig farm. Now, the 81-acre wildlife sanctuary includes a waterfowl pond, bird shelters, a boardwalk, nature trail, memorial gazebo and natural science exhibits and gardens. 150 Crescent Ave., Wyckoff. (201) 891-5571
Meadowlands Environmental Center - The Environmental Center in Richard W. DeKorte Park has six different trails – several are wheel chair accessible – that loop through the park, offering a glimpse of a varied landscape, including shoreline, meadows, forests, salt marsh, and mud flats. The area is a major route for migratory birds and wildlife abounds. A series of interpretive signs help explain the park's ecology and help visitors appreciate the diversity of life found in the Meadowlands as well as understand the transformation it has undergone. Two DeKorte Park Plaza. Lyndhurst. 201-460-8300

Association of Caribbean States (ACS)
Association of Caribbean States (ACS)
Trading bloc composed of 25 countries of the Caribbean basin. Responding to a proposal by Pres. Bill Clinton for a Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), existing Caribbean-area trading blocs joined forces in 1995 to strengthen their economic position and ease future integration into the FTAA. Prominent in the ACS are the Caricom countries (13 English-speaking countries and Suriname), which have been struggling toward a single market and economy along the lines of the European Union. The ACS has addressed such issues as unifying responses to natural disasters, ending the U.S. embargo of Cuba, and ending shipments of nuclear materials through the Panama Canal.

Collateral Damage
Announcing the latest Battle Pack for Warhammer: Invasion |
Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game | Published 15 March 2010 |
The seductive powers of Chaos have infiltrated the town of Derricksburg. Can one lone knight prevent them from spreading to nearby villages?
Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the next Battle Pack for Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game, The Burning of Derricksburg! Check out "New Leaders and Ancient Enemies," an introduction to this exciting new cycle... then this summer, prepare to settle the score with your greatest foe.
The Burning of Derricksburg is the first Battle Pack installment of The Enemy Cycle, a linked expansion series for Warhammer: Invasion, a card game of intense warfare, clever kingdom management, and epic questing.
This 60 card pack contains 20 different never-before-seen cards designed to augment existing decks and add variety to the Warhammer: Invasion metagame.
What's more, The Burning of Derricksburg is the first Battle Pack for Warhammer: Invasion to adopt the versatile new collation format, meaning you'll receive three copies each of all twenty cards in one convenient purchase!
Check out "The Best Just Got Better," an article explaining the details of this exciting change, then get ready to enjoy Warhammer: Invasion even more!
. . .
In Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game, designed by Eric M. Lang, two players develop their kingdoms and lay waste to their foes. Each side is comprised of either the forces of Order or the forces of Destruction as they seek to extend their empire to include the entire Old World. The Living Card Game™ format allows players to customize their gaming experience with monthly Battle Pack expansions to the core game.
Well The Empire Decks need that spice to meet the others head on...... bring it on
Looking forward to it!
It's a constant effect so it would constantly update the extra hammers according to the number of Empire units in the battlefield.
It only checks the zone of the attached unit, not your opponents corresponding zone so it gains no additional advantage against another Empire deck.
It is a Constant Effect so it will check the zone it is in every time there is a power check, so yes it is real time.
Would like to play this when facing another Empire deck.
Agreed...as long as the unit is in play at the time damge is assigned, the power icons would be there. But if the unit left play before then, the icons would go away.
Still, one brutal card. And goes great with a moving card like the Pistoleers.
!!! mwaahaha that card rocks! obviously better for the meatshield/weenie empire deck, but with just 3 attackers it's great: 2 cost for 3 hammers. I'm assuming it would check for units in that zone in real-time, so if they leave, host unit looses a hammer immediately...
Oh my. Griffon Standard!!

New PTR patch notes {WoW}
Apr 10th 2009 2:41AM I'm a Frost Tank/DPS so I'm constantly blowing the cooldowns on my runes. 90% of the time HB is only used when it proc's as it otherwise knocks my Rotation out of sequence. If the proc rate had been increased during the move to Obliterate I'd consider wasting the runes on. My Icy Touch does 100 less damage for half the rune requirement allowing me to use Plague Strike after it. While not putting out as much damage as IT, The combined damage from both outdoes Obliterate in both normal hits and crits. Sure there is the GC to consider but I'll glady wait (and already do) to pump out the extra damage. Of course then there is the 3.1 changes to consider and the 15% less damage from Imp. Icy Touch but unless the buff to Plague Strike is a trivial one at best I sincerely doubt that I'd end up doing less damage with the two combined then Obliterate.
New PTR patch notes {WoW}
Apr 10th 2009 1:20AM "Rime is now triggered by Obliterate instead of Icy Touch."
Wow thanks Blizzard. I was looking for some Talent Points to put into Frigid Dreadplate, thanks for giving me the answer.
I simply have no desire to ever use Obliterate. It requires the same Runes to use as Howling Blast, yet HB's damage has always been the same as if not better then Obliterate for me ( I just checked it before writing this) and HB hits multiple targets.

Patch 3.1 PTR build 9658 Death Knight changes {WoW}
Mar 6th 2009 8:24PM As a Frost/Blood DK Tank/DPS I'm able to deal with most of the Frost tree changes. GoG looks like it'll definitely reduce spiky damage while maintaining overall damage, and HB damage should still come out even albeit over a longer time frame (Though I could see a good crit off this causing some major spikiness). My biggest issue is with BB being changed in such a manner. Sure it'll reduce damage But I picked it up in the first place to proc RS more frequently, as a majority of my RS's proc while having the skill active.

I did however, open the box and inspected the contents to which my surprise is fantastic!
The first thing that grabbed me was the figures which are first class, well sculpted and are very sturdy which are no longer like past figures from previous board games from FFG which when arrived have been bent.
I plan on painting these over the weekend.
I was also surprised how big (height wise) the box was but when everything was put away it filled the box.
Although I have not experienced the playability, contents wise I am very impressed.
I look forward to playing this on Saturday.

IMAPSize is a freeware Windows application that allows you to quickly and efficiently manage your IMAP mail accounts. It is not another mail client. The main purpose of IMAPSize is to locate space consuming folders and allow you to manage them, hence putting your storage quota under control. To accomplish this task IMAPSize offers a variety of useful (and some unique) operations.
Display of all mailboxes in an account with visual alerts for the most space consuming mailboxes
Convenient storage quota display
Powerful search capabilities on single or multiple mailboxes
Delete attachments
(all or individual) without downloading them
Save attachments locally from multiple messages (BETA)
Mailbox management (expunge, create, delete, rename)
Message management (change flags, copy, move, delete, etc)
Manage folder subscriptions
Modify message headers
Copy messages from one IMAP account to another
incremental backups
of multiple folders in your IMAP account
Perform incremental backups of the whole account
Replicate IMAP folder hierarchy to your local drive
Download/upload messages to/from mbox and eml files
eml2mbox conversion
conversion. This can be extremely useful in the process of moving messages from Thunderbird to Outlook.
Here's how
Spam handles which provide a basis for visual alerts on spam messages
SSL connections
Minimizes bandwidth consumption wherever possible
Keyboard friendly - you can perform almost all operations without using the mouse
Why IMAPSize?
You can perform many of the tasks that IMAPSize offers through some of the better
email clients
that support IMAP (e.g. Mulberry, Becky! and Thunderbird), however with IMAPSize you can do more maintenance tasks in far less time, since IMAPSize concentrates on providing means for
your IMAP accounts, rather than
them. If you are using an IMAP client that offers less features than the main players, you will find IMAPSize very handy (if not necessary...). IMAPSize also offers some features not found in other clients (e.g. the attachment deletion area, incremental backups, etc).

Cerebellar histopathological abnormalities have been well documented in autism, although findings of structural differences, as determined by magnetic resonance imaging, have been less consistent. This report explores specific cerebellar vermal structures and their relation with severity of symptoms and cognitive functioning in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Children with ASD aged 3 to 4 years were compared with typically developing children (TD) matched to the ASD children on chronological age, and children with developmental delay (DD) matched to the ASD children on both chronological and mental age. Volumes of the cerebellum and midsagittal vermal areas were measured from 3-D T1-weighted magnetic resonance images. Children with ASD had reduced total vermis volumes compared with children with TD after controlling for age, sex, and overall cerebral volume or cerebellum volume. In particular, the vermis lobe VI-VII area was reduced in children ASD compared with TD children. Children with DD had smaller total vermis areas compared with children with ASD and TD. Within the ASD group, cerebellar measurements were not correlated with symptom severity, or verbal, non-verbal or full scale IQ. Within the DD group, larger cerebellar measurements were correlated with fewer impairments. The specific relation between altered cerebellar structure and symptom expression in autism remains unclear.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Some off-the-record thoughts -
n Administration is trying to make EAS the focal point for regional
strategic issues. The US, India, and others have a seat at that table,
and it's part of the Administration's effort to foster `open' and
`inclusive' architectures to provide balance.
n Friendly countries and others would like EAS also to include
trade/economic agenda.

Subject: Re: EAS
Ok there are a couple of issues we are looking into that you may find
interesting and have some insight.
EAS: We saw the US start to get more active last year in the EAS.
It appears that this trend will be amplified this year, especially as
the talk of renewed US-Aus defense relations. My Oz government sources
don't think this is going to lead to the US establishing bases there.
There will likely be greater access to facilities in Darwin (closest
city to Indonesia where there is renewed US interest) and possibly
Freemantle, which is in a location on the Indian Ocean outside of the
interdiction range of Chinese or other forces ranging through the
Malacca Straits. It is also where Aus Collins class submarines are
based, and from there they sail for spy missions into East Asian waters.
In addition to this relationship, we suspect that we will see the US
push for a more political format at the EAS as it gets more involved in
the region.
Finally, in the lead up to the EAS, and the convo we had the other day
on the bills against China now being discussed, it has been reported
that trade officials will announce a major trade enforcement action
against China on Tuesday (story below).
What are you seeing? What are your thoughts on these developments?
What is the most important issue you are watching in East Asia? Let me
know if I can help.
US to announce tariffs on China exports
Reuters in Washington
1:25pm, Sep 20, 2011
US trade officials will announce a major trade enforcement action
against China on Tuesday, according to an advisory from the US Trade
Representative's office.
The advisory, which was obtained from a business group, said US Trade
Representative Ron Kirk "will hold a press conference to announce a
major trade enforcement action against China." It gave no other details.
One possible action could target China's export restrictions on rare
earths, which are crucial for global electronics production and the
defence and renewable energy industries.
They are also used in a wide range of consumer products from iPhones to
electric car motors.
The United States, the European Union and Mexico recently won a case
against China for similar restrictions on exports of raw materials used
in steel and other industrial products.
China appealed that decision and a final ruling is still months away.
In recent weeks, Democrats have raised alarm about solar panel subsidies
in the mainland that they said are driving US producers out of business.
They also have pressed Kirk's office to investigate charges China is
pressing GM to turn over technologies for its electric car, the
Chevrolet Volt, in order for it to qualify for generous government
subsidies to encourage consumers to buy it.
Many Democrats also have long complained about China's currency
practices and have urged the US Trade Representative's office to bring a
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney recently criticised
President Barack Obama for not doing more to push China to raise the
value of its yuan against the dollar.
A currency case would be a major departure for the Obama administration
after refusing to formally label China as a "currency manipulator" in a
Treasury Department report.

Featured Blogs : Clark WendlandtWendlandt weighs in
As 2014 rolls around and the temperatures are still below freezing, I think of getting all of my tackle organized – hopefully in a place in my truck or boat where I can find it if I need it. This is not my favorite job. As a matter of fact, I don't know many bass pros who enjoy the tedious task of picking through their tackle and deciding what to keep, what to leave at home or just get rid of all together. With new baits coming out and new techniques being discovered all the time, you can't just keep adding to the amount of tackle you carry. In my case, if I don't clean out my tackle and get rid of the stuff I don't use, it just weighs me down - and I don't just mean physically.
To a bass pro, tackle is just part of what you need to compete. Too often, though, we have a sentimental attachment to certain baits or techniques that have helped us do well in a tournament or have helped us have a great year. I can't even count the number of times I got to a tournament, found a certain bait working, did well and when I returned home bought every one I could find. Sound familiar? And oftentimes I never even throw that bait again. We keep those baits around just hoping we might find the magic with them again. But they are nothing but a crutch to us and can hold us back from fishing the conditions at hand.
Tournament bass fishing is current. Success is based on confidence. And when it comes to what baits to use, it's based on what you have confidence in right now. Many things that have to do with the past do nothing but weigh you down. So my remedy is to just get rid of the things I never throw anymore. My advice: Look at each individual bait and ask yourself if you are really going to use these baits this year? If not, get rid of them. Keep in your arsenal the things that you still have the most confidence in and throw the baits you keep based on sentimental attachment in the Ebay bin.

Commercial Carpet
Gym Floor Carpet
Many institutions, both non-profit and commercial, have found themselves dealing with not only a limited amount of space, but a restricted budget as well. This has made the need for using rooms or buildings for more than one purpose a necessity in many cases. It has also made saving money in the remodeling or construction of these types of facilities an important part of the planning process.
A multipurpose room is the answer to both limited budget and limited space issues. It reduces overhead costs, maintenance, and staffing costs and will be able to suit a variety of different needs. Gym carpet is perfect for public events and ceremonies as well as for sporting events of all kinds.
Not only are gym floor carpets useful in your multipurpose facility, they are also made to withstand years of high traffic and… Continue reading
Carpet Tile in the Industrial or Business Setting
Each type of floor has a solution that will suit it best. For every kind of business there is a kind of carpet that will be most suitable and which will provide you with the look and feel that you want. The ultimate myth is that hard flooring or laminate is important and easier to work with than carpet in an office or industrial setting.
Many businesses believe, particularly in areas where snow and rain are prevalent in the winter time, that hard flooring is their best option. In fact, the opposite is true. Hard tile can become wet and when they do, provide for a slippery surface which may cause falls and subsequent injuries. It is difficult, if not impossible for the housekeeping staff to clear away the water and prevent the areas from becoming slippery each time someone… Continue reading

« September 2008 Table of Contents
Fifteen or so years ago if an opah was cau g ht as bycatch it would have most likely been tossed overboard. The market for opah wasn't generated until the early 1990s, when the state of Hawaii challenged chefs to develop recipes for the underutilized fish. The fish slowly gained recognition for its rich, creamy flavor profile and earned a spot in the fine-dining niche nationwide.
Opah, or moonfish, is a bycatch of the longline tuna and swordfish fisheries and is harvested consistently in small quantities. The fish is highly marketable for its high quality red flesh, which is valued by the restaurant trade in Hawaii and the continental United States, especially for sushi. It does not have a strong presence in supermarkets because it is only affordable to retail markets for a few weeks a year. Dirk's Fish & Gourmet Shop in Chicago retailed opah for $24 in mid-August, and wholesaler Garden & Valley Isle Seafood in Honolulu had product for $5.95 during the same time period.
Significant opah landings weren't seen until around 2002, when they jumped from a 10-year average of about 1,500 pounds to just under 913,000 pounds, with all but about a tiny fraction coming from Hawaii, according to National Marine Fisheries Service data. Landings increased to just over 1 million pounds in 2003 and have remained at that level, with the exception of 2004, when regulations enacted to reduce bycatch of sea turtles minimized the harvest. The supply does not hurt opah's marketability, but rather is congruent with demand. "It's one of those things that's not a staple, so [when supply is low] we can sell something else and it's not a big deal," says Dirk Fucik, owner of Dirk's Fish.
"Because it is a specialty item, we don't have the type of demand for orders larger than 50 pounds," says William McCabe, president of Wild Ocean Seafoods in Ferndale, Wash. "If demand went up, there isn't going to be enough supply in Hawaii."
Opah is one of Garden & Valley Isle Seafood's main products. According to President Bob Fram, on an average day the company sells between 10 and 15 whole opah, at most 20 to 30 if supply is high.
When the Hawaii supply is low, imports from Fiji, Tahiti and New Zealand fill the pipeline. Mexico also exports opah to the U.S. market, but quality and handling concerns keep import numbers low. Hawaiian opah is also generally larger, averaging 100 to 140 pounds, while opah out of Fiji runs between 60 to 90 pounds.
"Supply is pretty consistent," says James Iacino, foodservice sales manager at Seattle Fish Co. in Denver. "It's price more than anything that will fluctuate."
While opah is available year-round, midsummer to early fall is peak season. For about four to six weeks, supply is "really abundant" says Fram. "When there's only one opah per every 1,000 hooks, the price stays pretty firm and expensive. When it becomes two or three then it becomes very cheap," says Fram.
In early August, premium-cut back loin was selling for $5.95 a pound, which is normal for the season. The yearly average for back loin is between $9.95 and $10.95.
Opah's low recovery rate also affects price. Due to the fish's peculiar anatomy, mainly the large, bulbous bone plate in its front belly, yield is only about 30 percent, and McCabe says once the center loins, which are the portions fine-dining restaurants demand, are removed, recovery is reduced even further.
"It keeps prices high on a fish that starts out low," says McCabe.
Suppliers don't have problems moving opah when it is available, and while they don't foresee it ever breaking out of its specialty niche, that suits the species perfectly.

Living in Florida, the tap water is not good. Been collecting rain water (hardly rains) and wonder if it is really necessary to use a special fertilizer designed for RO or rain.
I have used RO water when I lived in NY with MSU for RO. I don't have RO in Florida so am using rain water.. Does it really matter? Is it a pH thing or can I use any fertilizer with rain water? Trying to simplify things... Jane |
Follow-Up Postings:
How do you know that the water is not good? Maybe its fine and just has a dash or two of chlorine added so it smells a bit off coming out of the tap. The thing to do is to look up the analysis provided by the local provider to see what it contains. I was telling Whitecat in another thread that there was almost nil expertise about growing under lights here...same for the water, most of the locals just water with what comes out of the tap. I have a fresh water tank because i have a lot of orchids. The tank came with a little sign UNFIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. To get over the lack of minerals i use a complete (with minerals) orchid fertiliser every so often. But when you see orchids growing in the wild on a tree or a rock, you wonder how they eke out an existence without some kind soul providing said minerals. |
- Posted by calvin_orchidlover 6a Toronto (My Page) on Mon, Jun 4, 12 at 17:14
Hi Jane - the pH will vary and is not related to the water quality. The stuff coming out of my RO system has TDS of 20ppm (very pure), but has a pH of over 8, due to the heavy concentration of limestone where I live. This needs to be adjusted, because it can affect fertilizer uptake by the plants (regardless of what fertilizer you use!) As for suitable fertilizer, I think whatever you were using with the RO water in NY is fine! |
My guy teases me affectionately about the orchids: I have to tell those "vegetables" to toughen up - after all, in the wild, they'd have nothing but a little water and monkey p-e. Jane, it's gotta be a hassle to adjust to a whole 'nother orchid environment. WC8 |
Arthur, the tap water smells heavily of chlorine and I'm not taking a chance. The few plants I hauled along with me have done fine with rainwater and MSU for RO. But we are now renting a small condo with no RO. I'm now collecting rainwater (I'll get thrown out of here with all my buckets) and just want to use regular fertilizer. I was worried about burning roots as most of my orchids are growing in open (rock, large bark)media. WC you have no idea! Very humid outside. We are near the water and the wind blows constanly. They dry out in an hour yet the roots look good due to the high humidity. I repotted most to an open media to keep them from rotting. Phals are not doing well here, have lost a few and the others look bad.Just repotted them to try and save them. I'm not sure what is 'off' with them - heat, humidity or water, or all of the above. Jane |
It's my understanding that the MSU formula for RO/Rainwater has more micronutrients in it because the water is lacking. So it sounds like if you had a fertilizer like Dyna-Grow or Jacks which have micronutrients in them, or even the addition of seaweed, you should be pretty safe in using it. |

I was wondering-we had enough frost this year to take out banana..but not Ti leaves. And the wife is cooking a Filipino dish. I cut some Ti leaves..but I 'm eyeing even larger Birds nest fern leaves that I have. Anybody know if they can be used to wrap and cook food in? |

I can't comment with a scientific point of view, but as far as traditional knowledge goes, ferns are toxic and must be processed in order to be edible. I wouldn't recommend eating any part of a Bird's Nest fern or including it in any food recipe. everettsky |
I should have explained that they would have been used as wrappings..not actually eaten. Taro leaves used as wrappings is common,but I think the leafs themselves are not edible. I could be wrong. Considering the commonness of Birds nest ferns..I thought Aussies or Pacific Islanders might have known of them used in ethnic cooking. |
In Taiwanese aboriginal communities,the leaves are picked before they uncurl fully and stir fried. Although I am aboriginal Taiwanese, I have never tried picking the leaves myself. Considering that many ferns become more toxic as they mature, I wouldn't use mature bird's nest fern leaves. If you happen to have any Hedychium or Alpinia, their leaves make good wrappers and add a nice flavor to the food. My grandmother used to make these tamale like things with sticky rice and millet wrapped in Alpinia leaves. |

@raynbow- First of all, it's a good idea to speak to your doctor about his or her recommendations for rehabilitative exercises. Once you have done this and you are give approval to exercise, it is a good idea to start with some simple stretches. These movements help to keep the body flexible while on the mend.
Taking short, slow walks is also a good plan. As you heal, walking helps keep you in motion while helping your heart and lungs as well.

on June 15, 2009It's Career Week here at Esquire.com. Hence the tool in the picture. It's a pulaski. It was invented by and named for legendary ranger Ed Pulaski, hero of the Big Burn of 1910. It's been a staple of forest firefighting in the mountain west for close to a century nothing's better for carving firebreaks and ranchers and farmers in the region have long since adopted it, too. You can pick one up in any hardware store between Denver and Coeur D'Alene. You can't, though, often find one on either coast or on the Plains. And that's too bad, because, without exaggeration, the pulaski is the single handiest yardworking tool ever devised by man.
The axe blade does what axes do, which, if you know what you're doing, is more than chop down trees. Need to notch a fencepost? Re-shingle a shed? Split some rails? You're all set. But the flared end of the pulaski's head lets it function as a splitting maul, as well: forest-to-fireplace service in a single unit. The rear blade, a sort of heavy-duty adze, is a jack of all trades: it slices through turf, cuts tree roots, loosens soil, pries up pavers, and lops branches that are too thick for pruning shears. Flip a pulaski sideways, and it will function as a light sledgehammer. Keep its edges scrupulously sharp, and it'll hew raw logs into square timbers for rustic constructions. And if you do happen to find yourself downwind of a wildfire, well, it's got you covered there, too.
Pulaskis are available from any number of tool suppliers; don't pay more than seventy-five bucks.

Web Design Index
To complement the article on portfolio presentation, I thought a review of a few inspirational references would be these two useful books.
The sites linked-to from these references will help show you a wide range of design possibilities. Some of the sites are excellent examples of how things should be done. Some are more experimental in nature - but you can also learn from mistakes.
Web Design Index, compiled by Günter Beer, is a fully illustrated listing of over 1000 Web sites taking the form of large thumbnail images, three to a page. There are no comments about the Web sites whatsoever other than the URLs and a brief, multi-lingual introduction. It's very much a matter of, "Here they are. The designs speak for themselves".
The home page screen shots are arranged by color and cover a vast range of styles and techniques - just the sort of thing you want when you are sitting there with a new job to do and a blank screen. Arranging the sites by color is an interesting way to present them rather than by alphabetical means or by random.
The standard of the designs included goes from good to exceptional and a CD-ROM included with the book provides Mac and PC drag and drop link-icons for quick access to the actual sites for further exploration. Of course, sites change and disappear over time and a few of the links are no longer available.
Another interesting use for the book is to compare the published screen-shots with what you see in your own browser. There can be some quite significant differences and you can learn a lot about Web design generally by investigating the underlying causes.
Having such a reference on your bookshelf and being able to flick through it instantly rather than having to trawl through bookmarks, click on links and wait for the sometimes graphically intensive pages to load, is great for those times when your inspiration is dormant and you just need a spark to kindle the fire.
Web Design Index | |
Publisher | The Pepin Press |
Author | Günter Beer |
Price | US $ 30.00 |
The second book has a slightly different slant. Search: The Graphics Web Guide by Ken Coupland, has more verbal descriptions and less by way of screen shots.
The book is a directory of Web sites of interest to graphic designers, typographers, illustrators, photographers and film and video makers so its scope goes well beyond that of just Web design. It is arranged alphabetically, but in sections devoted to discovery: (schools, museums, history); media: (publishers and magazines); practice:(designers and studios); projects: (experimental design, digital art, games); groups and events: (associations and conferences) and services: (type foundries and photo libraries).
The short descriptions of each site are helpful in identifying the type of information you'll find when you get there. The illustrations, on the other hand, are fairly arbitrary and seem to be there for decoration more than anything.
Unfortunately, there's no CD-ROM with this book. Sure, it would have added a little to the price but would be very useful instead of having to type-in each link manually - but you still will find the links invaluable in your search for knowledge and inspiration.

Quoted from seagypsy I came here for a while and investigated the diet and read the forums. I stopped coming here for three reasons. 1. Someone was getting very rich from this diet idea and it wasn't me. 2. there is absolutely no science to back this diet but its more about forming a culture/religion. 3. Every time I came onto these forums it seemed like people were ill. Its so depressing reading about all these sickly problems. Why are you all so ill btw?Today I heard a news flash on the UK national radio station, warning people about the possible dangers of this diet. Its been a long time coming but lets hope the ball starts rolling from here. I should think this post will be removed but it matters not because I won't be darkening your doors again.

--From Harmful Intent, by Baine Kerr
Five years ago on I-25 near Parker, a semi plowed into Louise Simonton's brown Chevy Astro van and sent her life hurtling out of control. Last month, her past and future collided in a courtroom.
"I knew it was going to be nasty," Simonton says. "I guess I just didn't realize the depth of how personal it would be."
Just before Christmas, Simonton lost her medical malpractice lawsuit--and lost big. The drama that played out in an Arapahoe County courtroom for three weeks in December was graphic and sometimes gripping, pitting the former cleaning woman against a well-known brain surgeon who refused to settle out of court. Going to trial created colossal risk--financial, professional and personal--for them both.
Perhaps no area of civil law is more intimate--or more misunderstood--than medical malpractice. Only one in eight victims of "medical error" even consults a lawyer, and just a tiny fraction of those will see their cases tried in court before a jury. Most will lose.
Simonton had accused her neurosurgeon of performing two unnecessary surgeries and botching one of them, damaging the nerves that lead to the muscles governing the bladder and bowel. That day in the operating room changed her life, Simonton claimed, rendering her housebound for part of each day, restricting her job options and leaving her with a humiliating choice: the constant fear of fecal incontinence or the embarrassing swish-swish of adult diapers.
Simonton had gone to Dr. Karl Stecher Jr. when she started experiencing headaches after the February 1994 auto accident. In court years later, several expert witnesses testified that Simonton had suffered a soft-tissue injury that required physical therapy and healing time, not surgery. At the time that Stecher sliced into Simonton's neck to fuse two vertebrae and remove a disk from her lower spine, an unconventional double-surgery costing $13,575, the doctor was under pressure to pay the Internal Revenue Service and the State of Colorado tens of thousands of dollars for back taxes.
Simonton's lawyer thought her malpractice case was a good bet. A colleague across town had already sued Stecher twice and won once. And in Louise Simonton, Boulder lawyer Baine Kerr saw a highly sympathetic plaintiff: Pink-collar worker with a high-school education. Divorced mom raising two kids. Victim first of a freak car accident and then, perhaps, of a surgery gone bad. A cheerful, 44-year-old chatterbox whose life had taken a horrific turn.
She would be going up against a doctor who had already testified 800 times in assorted cases and depositions. Stecher, 61, is an experienced observer of the law; he is also a self-described "take-charge" kind of guy. And by the time a five-woman, three-man jury was seated on November 30, Stecher was more than ready to face Simonton and the ugly accusations that soon would fly. So were his defense attorneys, two of the best in the business, fueled by sleeplessness, chocolate and their passion for the game, and prepared to conduct the most expensive defense in Colorado in the history of Stecher's malpractice insurance company.
The roster of plaintiff's and defense attorneys in Colorado specializing in malpractice cases is small, and lawyers often find themselves squaring off in the courtroom against familiar adversaries. Outside the courtroom, doctors and lawyers have much in common: Most are bright, driven people who thrive on the complexity of their work, hold the power to mend or break lives--and deplore the idea of losing.
Like most malpractice cases, Simonton vs. Stecher was supposed to be about justice. But it would also be about revenge.
Simonton sits in her immaculate kitchen, a cup of coffee on the table in front of her and a "Kitchen Prayer" decoupage plaque on the wall behind. A lit Christmas tree blinks just beyond her in the family room. She wears a navy-blue Mason City Mohawks sweatshirt, a souvenir from the rural Iowa town where she grew up with her twelve brothers and sisters.
The past four years have been a parade of doctor's appointments, depositions and discomfort, she says, pulling a large plastic jug of cherry-flavored NuLYTELY out of the fridge. She must drink the industrial-strength laxative every morning to clean out her bowels, then stay home until midday after it's gone to work. The problem began the day after she was released from the hospital following her spinal surgery, July 4, 1994; she rushed to the emergency room after she found she couldn't urinate. "The worst summer of my life," Simonton testified in court. "To have a problem with the bowel and the bladder and to have a doctor that denied it."
To satisfy both sets of attorneys preparing for trial, Simonton says she had to sign 34 doctors' releases and undergo dozens of "humiliating" physical and psychological exams. Once the trial began, her medical, marital and sexual history was laid naked before a judge and eight strangers in the jury box. Her bathroom habits and "bowel accidents" were publicly debated for hours on end. During breaks, she says, "I would have to put a cold rag around my neck because I could just feel my blood pressure going up. There's nothing secret about my life anymore. There are some things you just want to keep in a closet."

air bubble in syringe
0Apr 21, '06 by colleennurseWondering if someone can help me out here. I was reading in one of my pediatric textbooks and for immunizations it says something about leaving an air bubble in the syringe (I know that you do this for lovenox too), but why, what is the purpose? I would appreciate any help! Thanks
0Apr 21, '06 by meownsmileSure it does make sense. If medication is measured correctly the dose includes that in the needle too. So if you use a bubble it also ensures the accurate dose is being administered.
Consider Dilaudid, If you have to give a 0.5 mg dose and all you have is a 4mg carpuject to administer from your dose would be 2.5ml. Normally people use a 4ml syringe (although it doesnt really matter, same principle applies to a smaller measure needle) to draw the medication because of the needle length and guage. If you dont use an air bubble there would be medication left in the needle and at that small a dose it is important they get all of the medication and not leave 0.2 or so in the needle after injection. Yes you could draw some NS to expand the volume after you measure the dose, but then how much of the medication are you leaving in the needle?
Especially with pediatrics, its very important to make sure you are exacting with dosages. -
0Apr 21, '06 by ParrotHeadRNNow see, I thought that syringes did NOT include what is in the needle as part of the dose. What about different sized needles, as well as drawing meds up with a blunt needle and then discarding the needle for IV administration?
0Apr 21, '06 by TazziRNWhen you draw up and change the needle, before removing the needle you draw up a bit of air to clear the needle. You then remove the needle and change it. It's even safe to use that extra bit of air for an IVP med if you give it farther up the line, because the air will filter into the port tail. You wait a few seconds then withdraw that little bit of air with the same syringe (don't remove the needle from the port yet) and voila!
0Apr 21, '06 by colleennurseOk I am confused, do you inject the bubble into the person and is this for IM only? Sorry I am a student and I am just trying to understand
0Apr 21, '06 by Zachary2011You can inject a small amount or air with all IM injections so that the air aids in pushing the med deeper into the muscle so less if any is lost when you remove the needle. As far as measuring whats in the needle, I hope one would change the needle from the one used to draw up to the one used for injection, and as someone posted the needles do hold meds..... ie; if you use a blunt to draw up morphine, say 2 mg which is 0.2 ccs then you pull back on the syringe after discarding the vial you will get about 1/2 cc or more of morphine that was in the blunt. making your dose almost 3 mg instead of 2 mg....... just change the needles from the one used to draw up the med to the one used for injection. Either way with the excpetion of pediatrics I wouldn't be to concerned.
1Apr 21, '06 by Little Panda RNOkay I am also confused. I was taught in nursing school that the air bubble in the lovenox was to keep the medication locked into the subq tissue to help prevent bruising. I have never heard of a bubble being injected into muscle. Maybe someone on this board could help to clarify this issue.Noelani likes this.
0Apr 21, '06 by beesnestThe measurement of the med is what is in the syringe- not what is in the needle too. Otherwise you would have differing doses based on what needle was used to draw up the med, and whether you changed the needle or not. Imagine drawing up something thick like Ativan with an 18G then changing the needle. Or drawing up an oral med like digoxin for a pedi patient and the removing the needle altogether. For a baby that could be half the dose in the needle...
The only constant the syringe companies have is their own syringe- so they can't take into account the needle you put on- they don't know what you are using. I was taught in nursing school to use the air bubble to make sure all the med had left the syringe- and the air filled the dead space in the needle. -
0Apr 21, '06 by TazziRNQuote from nd_momYou most certainly can inject an air bubble with IM's, it's called an air lock. When I give IM's I z-track and use air locks to minimize any leakage.Okay I am also confused. I was taught in nursing school that the air bubble in the lovenox was to keep the medication locked into the subq tissue to help prevent bruising. I have never heard of a bubble being injected into muscle. Maybe someone on this board could help to clarify this issue.
