It looks like an economic meme change is on the way, with some thoughtful columnists charting the course.
The Times's David Leonhardt points to a recent run of bad economic news—and more to come with Friday's jobs numbers—and raises the specter of a dreaded double dip. Sure, things can go up and down a bit. "But whatever you thought at the start of the year about the recovery—strong, moderate, fragile—you probably need to be more pessimistic today."
This is especially troubling because the economy is still such a long way from being healthy. Lawrence Katz, the Harvard labor economist, estimates that 10.6 million jobs would need to materialize immediately to return the job market to its condition when the Great Recession began. For it to get there four years from now, the economy would have to add 316,000 jobs a month. That pace would be faster than in any four-year stretch of the 1990s boom.
The FT's Martin Wolf took a different approach to the question last week. But his tone was equally grim.
Anybody who looks carefully at the world economy will recognise that a degree of monetary and fiscal stimulus unprecedented in peacetime is all that is prodding it along, not only in high-income countries, but also in big emerging ones. The conventional wisdom is that it will also be possible to manage a smooth exit. Nothing seems less likely. So let us consider the endgame, instead.
Like Leonhardt said, any recovery is sure to have its up and downs. And plenty of smart money has been cautious about just how rosy things are getting.
But, despite the snowy weather, there's been no shortage of green-shoot spottings.
Just today, there's private payroll data showing that layoff announcements dropped to their lowest level since 2006, and a prediction of "meaningful job growth in the private sector" over the next few months from JPMorgan Chase's chief economist.
It's a theme that's been hanging in the air for a while now.
This Page One Journal story from a month ago seemed to reflect the then-gathering press consensus:
Data Hit Hopeful Notes for Economy
Of course, the optimism wasn't coming out of nowhere. A lot of the data were positive.
Here's Bloomberg, on February 9, on a Labor Department report:
Job openings in the U.S. rose in December for the first time in three months, signaling employers are gaining confidence in the economic recovery.
And Bloomberg, same day, on small-business optimism:
Confidence among U.S. small businesses increased in January for the first time in three months as the outlook for sales improved, according to the National Federation of Independent Business optimism index.
By mid-month, the meme had taken hold. On February 10, the Times declared:
"Healthy Jump in Chinese Exports Points to Recovery in World Trade"
China said Wednesday that its exports climbed 21 percent in January from a year earlier, while imports surged 85.5 percent, the latest sign that world trade is starting to recover from the global financial crisis.
Ah yes. Globalized masses stride confidently into glorious future.
Still, the better economic reporting we've seen looked below the big numbers, and the foreboding signs weren't that far below, really.
Reuters, for instance, did a better job of keeping it real with the NFIB survey, just by quoting the trade group that put it together.
"Small business owners entered 2010 the same way they left 2009 — depressed," the group said, noting its Small Business Optimism Index reading for January was still below the 90 mark, the dividing line between positive and negative outlooks.
And a few outlets found their way to an interesting new index that tracks how often truckers are filing their rigs with diesel. When it comes to the economy, more is better.
As USA Today put it back on February 10:
The latest government statistics say the economy is bounding back from a deep recession. The message from the nation's truck stops isn't so reassuring.
USAT added:
The truck stop index fell at a 36.8% annual rate in January after soaring 60.8% in December. The index's less-volatile three-month moving average decelerated to 3.3% annual growth in January from 14.6% in December.
The findings suggest the economy cannot sustain the galloping 5.7% annual growth rate the government reported for the fourth quarter of 2009.
"Don't put your party hats on yet," says Edward Leamer, the UCLA economic forecaster who helped create the index. "We were hoping our index would be stronger, symptomatic of an economy powerful enough to start putting Americans back to work."

Quick work by Novato firefighters knocked out a residential blaze late Wednesday in an incident that provided a fire prevention lesson for residents working with paints, refinishing oils, stains, lacquers and related material.
The spontaneous combustion of oily floor refinishing rags that were tossed in a trash can apparently triggered a blaze that burned debris in garbage cans and ignited a redwood fence and an oak tree at 9 Tomahawk Drive about 10 p.m.
Flames were blistering the paint on the home and threatening to torch an attic area when Engine 61 arrived, followed by every other engine on duty in Novato, Fire Capt. Steve White said.
"Please store oily rags in an air-tight container," he said, noting new homeowners were having the floors redone before moving in. Corte Madera firefighters had similar advice last month when oily rags left by remodelers burst into flames in the middle of the night.
Earlier in the day, Novato firefighters doused a grass fire that scorched a quarter acre along Highway 101 between Atherton and DeLong avenues. Cause of the 4:16 p.m. fire was under investigation.

Orientalism Today
About three weeks ago, in an interview that was part of a tour to launch his latest book, Salman Rusdhie was asked about what he thought about the protests that erupted in Muslim countries as a result of the film, "Innocence of Muslims" (or the "Life of Muhammed," or "Muslim Innocence, depending on reports). He responded by calling the video a "disgraceful little malevolent thing " and the violence that erupted as a consequence of the film, "the release of a much larger outrage." Rushdie went on to comment on the topic, saying "He's clearly set out to provoke, and he's obviously unleashed a much bigger reaction that he hoped for. One of the problems with defending free speech is you often have to defend people that you find to be outrageous and unpleasant and disgusting."
It speaks to the nature of the video, more than to Rushdie's somewhat self obsessed personality, that an author who just launched a memoir about the many years he spent under fatwa, would argue for the right of free speech of people whom one finds "outrageous and unpleasant and disgusting," especially because those people "essentially" were the same ones who wanted him did. Rushdie in fact made a very valid point when he said what he did, one similar to the many arguments that Said weaves together in Orientalism. The central thesis of Said's text is that the Orient has continued to be misrepresented and misunderstood by Europe during their colonial efforts. The knowledge that formed the basis for Europe's rule of most of the world, was based on biased and false notions of the East which continue to penetrate Western thought and ideology even today. These intellectual efforts made by colonial states created a false system of knowledge, a process Said describes in vivid detail, that deemed Western culture, thought, politics, history, in short society, as infinitely superior and advanced than "Oriental" societies. This logic legitimized the continent's conquest and rule of foreign territories and peoples.
In a section called "Crisis," Said describes what he finds to be the limitations of Orientalism. "So impressive have the descriptive and textual successes of Orientalism been" he says, "that entire periods of the Orient's cultural, political, and social history are considered mere responses to the West. The West is the actor, the Orient a passive reactor." It is interesting to think of the launch of this video within the context of this quote and the larger framework that Said lays out. In this case, America, or the West did, quite literally, take action by making such a video, causing the so called "Orient" to react. But what this case illustrates is that the West still fails to understand Muslim reaction because it continues to be unable to see it through the eyes of those that they are representing. In an articled published by David Kirkpatrick in The New York Times, called Cultural Clash Fuels Muslims Angry at Online Video, Mr. Ali a 39 year old textile worker quoted making the very valid point that Muslims have never insulted Moses or Jesus. The reason for this being that both these men and their followers are recognized by the Koran as people of the book. While people in the West may criticize their own religions, there has hardly ever been a case where a Muslim has insulted a leader of either faith. So why has the West not learned that the Muslims exercise the same level of tolerance to other faith's as they do to their own. Action again is from the West, while the reaction from the "Orient."
The violent outcomes that resulted from the launch of this video sheds new light on Said's formulation of Orientalism. One cannot continue to understand the "Orient" as an Muslim only domain where only Islamic values are taken into considerations by governments. Nothing much was stated in this article on the reaction of Christians in Egypt except one persons objection "only to the violence of the protests." But the banning of "The Da Vinci Code" by Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon among other Arab countries is evidence of the penetration of "Western" thought, at least religious thought into the public sphere and it holding a stake at the political level. Insults to any religion are seen as crimes, irrespective of they represent or who is representing them. Why can America not have a policy where disrespect to a faith is not permissible?
Kirkpatrick goes on to say that Egyptians and other Arabs "sometimes find it hard to understand that the American government feels limited by its free speech rules from silencing even the most noxious religious bigot." [emphasis mine] What is striking here is that the author, who of course is a westerner who is representing and re-presenting the East to us through this story, thinks that it is the East which requires change, and that the East has to rethink the way it reacted. That the American governement's lack of action on this issue and others like "the burning or desecrations of the Koran by troops in Afghanistan and a pastor in Florida" led to the "outpouring of outrage," is a result of the country's rules on free speech, proves again Said's point that the West is the actor to which the East is reacting. What the rhetoric of Kirkpatrick's statement says is that it is the East which must change it's ways so that the West may maintain it's free speech.
If it is true that the West does in fact have free speech, then it should in effect become tolerant and understand the actions that people of the "Orient" have taken. They themselves have to, as Rushdie said, tolerate the responses of the "people that you find to be outrageous and unpleasant and disgusting." Or, for the better, they could try and understand, from the people who took action, the reasons behind why they reacted in the manner they did. Perhaps after learning something, these two worlds could together write a new discourse on the freedom of speech.

This whole argument is flawed, because it equates words with violent actions. As long as those protesting the videos use words, or any actions that do not restrict the rights of others, they deserve to be defended to the fullest. The point is that words may be offensive, disgusting etc., but they do not take away anybody else's rights. The video may be crude and disgusting, but it does not take anybody else's rights away. Furthermore, if you are offended by something, don't read or watch it – it is as simple as that. Violent actions take away others' rights, in the case of Ambassador Stevens, his most basic right – that of life. The killers in Benghazi or those who burnt public and private property on the streets of Pakistan were not merely unpleasant, outrageous and disgusting. They were violent as well! And that is the point the author of this article seems to completely miss in all this discourse about the orient and orientalism.
The followers of OTHER religions are not similarly 'offended' when similar liberites are taken with Jesus Christ or Krishna because their own faith is STRONGER or weaker ( than that of muslims)?
There are numerous such films that are freely available in the visual media. Films that have NOT been banned in their respective countries. Any idea why? -
"IF you cannot handle new thoughts, no matter how outrageous, where is the out of the box thinking going to come from?"
That presupposes all people want out-of-the-box thinking. Some people may want to be in what they think is the perfect box. Or the box may not be questionable in their frame of life -
The writer says: "Mr. Ali a 39 year old textile worker quoted making the very valid point that Muslims have never insulted Moses or Jesus. The reason for this being that both these men and their followers are recognized by the Koran as people of the book."
Right in the above sentence is the crux of the problem. Why use the pseudo-criterion "recognized by the Koran as people of the book" ? What does it matter if someone or something is recognized by the Koran or not ? No person should be insulted, without any ifs ands or buts. If someone or some idea is not mentioned in the Koran, is that a license to insult ?
Anybody and any idea can be and should be criticized, whether they are mentioned or not mentioned in the Koran, respectfully but not insultingly.

I know there are many threads about dual boot linux windows. I did a search but couldn't find for this specific question.
I'm planning to use Puppy Linux as my main OS on my P4 machine. I asked a friend of mine who knows Linux very well.
I asked should I install Puppy alone on my P4 machine? He told me that I should dual boot with XP because sometimes [COLOR="Blue"]Linux alone[/COLOR] does not compatible with graphic card, sound card, Ethernet adapter, etc...
If dual boot Linux with Windows. They both can share the same drivers. Is it true?

Hi guys - I was wondering if someone can please help me with my lawn. Its a new lawn. The sod was planted last summer (I think it's Kentucky Blue). It seemed to do ok, not great, but ok. I had very little crabgrass. The heat did take it's toll, but overall, it held up ok. I put down some Winterguard in the fall. Over the winter, the grass maintained it's green. In the spring, it started blossoming. It looked amazing. I was so happy it was finally coming along. But now, I'm starting to get these dead patches around the lawn, and it looks a little yellow underneath the green. I have no idea whats going on. Do you guys have any ideas? Please help and TIA. |

Here's another pic. In this one you can see the thick lawn on the left, and on the right it being very thin and starting to yellow. Any ideas? PS. Its been raining all week so that's why it's long. Last time the lawn was cut was 5/27. |

What is your watering regimen (frequency and duration)? Do you mulch mow? How often and what height? Have you fertilized this year and what did you use? Is there any shade hitting the lawn? |
- Posted by GrowSomeGrass none (My Page) on Thu, Jun 13, 13 at 0:04
Watering = trying to stick to once a week with deep watering. But it's been raining a lot over the last few weeks up here in MA so not that much irrigation. But sometimes I water twice a week when it gets hot as the lawn is relatively new. I dont think its a water issue. Mulch mow = yes. So I did cut it more than 50% twice in a row (with 3 weeks gap in between each time). I just havent had the time and its been raining a lot so I couldnt mow. So it's possible the clippings are causing heat/lack of sun damage. But this dead grass underneath started a while back already, so its possible the mulching isnt helping, but I dont think its the root cause. Fertilizer = yes, once this year in April. Scotts with crabgrass preventer. Shade = in the mornings from home, but from around midday it gets full sun until 7-8pm. Sun isnt an issue here. If anything, the lawn gets hit by heat in the height of summer, being exposed for so long. Not sure what species this grass is (I think Kentucky Blue), but it doesnt do well in heat. But again, sun isnt an issue here. Other = I did put down compost in April. The grass was pretty covered, but emerged as a rich green. It looked fantastic. I'm not sure if it may be doing something to the lawn now though, a few months later? Any other thoughts? I really would like to fix this. I'm worried about all my hard work going down the toilet. Every day I see more of these spots. Thanks. |

Oh and something else. The landscaper said I had grubs last year. I have some Grubex, but havent applied it yet. Probably will in July when I see the beetles. Do you think it could be grubs or clippings? |

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 Chloe!
Facts about Chloe
- Breed: Australian Shepherd
- Color: Merle
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Chloe's Info...
I am already spayed, purebred, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and not good with cats.
Chloe is a female mini aussie that was born on 3/1/13 and weighs 15 pounds as of 7/1/13.
Chloe would do best in a home with no kids and/or cats.
Other Pets at Aussie Rescue of Minnesota
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chloe, a Elk River Australian Shepherd puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Shepherd for sale in Elk River, or seeking a Australian Shepherd puppy from a breeder in Elk River.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Elk River 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 Elk River 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 Australian Shepherd breeders who help with Australian Shepherd rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Elk River paves the way for another one to be saved.

hey openhope — how's the sound tonight? so glad you like the song….
hey thatguy — how ya doing tonight? juju man
peace and love and laughter To you too, open…!
Doing ok, making progress with my truck…still on the beach, but J's out of town until Thursday evening so I can use her car.
yay! and how are your orange kittahs?
Hey folks! Still adjusting my Mayan clock, so Happy Newish Year.
Here's one for you: my old college roommate, with whom I'd sort of kept in touch, just announced that he is now a she. Totally out of left field – I had no inkling. Anyway, I'm sure it took a lot of courage to go through with it, so I'm happy for her. Still, kind of floored by it all…
pun! so good to see your fonts dood. wow, it can be a shock when its outta the blue. of course, anything can be a shock when its outta the blue
got the kids all back at school for the second semester?
That would floor me too, pun meister, best wishes to her new future…! *g*
All kitties are great. But they miss J, as do I.
she will be back soon….. and you have the kittahs all to yourself :)
This guy was seemingly among the least likely candidates for this: a rather macho/paternalistic "player" back in the day. Settled down and had a family, moved away. We've just reconnected on fb so I guess I'll learn more about how far back this goes.
Punaisette is safely back in chilly Montreal for another grueling semester (she can handle it); punaise jr. is back to plying the restaurant trade in Manhattan. Was great to have them both here for the quiet holidays.
she says folks have been mostly accepting and supportive, so that's encouraging.
it must of been difficult for her reconnecting with someone from her past that remembered her another way and letting them know. not an easy conversation to start
having the power to affect us all.I spent 7 hours cruising his lectures in absolute fascination. I wound up weeping, with relief almost, without a reason or a game plan.
So, I'm either going into the ether, or, David Ickes is talking a Truth.
Very weird and not something I would share, if I'd ever had this experience before. Uhm…..just weird
You should not feel required to respond.
just damn
a long-running pun exchange with one of my brothers has now turned to literature titles for inspiration –
A sailor had inexplicable difficulty remembring some of the most basic nautical terminology. Eventually he was diagnosed with arthritis in his right knee, while the left knee remained flexible and pain-free. Fortunately he was able to use this distinction to develop a clever mnemonic device:
"Port: knee's compliant."
hahahaha i like that one… a lot :)
It takes a moment to adjust. I'm glad your friend had a chance to express their identity and maybe do some shopping that feels right!
Okay, the short version; the Rockerfellers, Rothschilds, etc, The Families we know now, who run the world.
Those are Bloodlines from the Reptile ancestors of Earth with the blood kept pure. Remember the "Reptile Brain" that is the core of ours?? Reptile images as gods through history.
Oh, can't you just come hang out on my porch and I'll explain it. And you can call b.s.? :)
her two (young adult) kids and a sister are friends on her fb, so that's a good thing. I'm sure it's not all positive: I first learned of it incidentally via the snickers of the old high school crowd in our home-town, which is perhaps a tad less open-minded than here in Berkeley!
token and i drove up as far as chehalis the sun before nye…. it was a spur of the moment trip and i wanted to see how far i could go on one vanilla latte.
somehow we (pun-bro and I) were discussing watercraft on the delta, which led to –
Make a slight detour to visit a chef on a houseboat who's anticipating a seniority promotion; you know: one slough over, the cook who's next.
rot roh — token's giving me the look… he needs to save a tree and needs to save a tree now
thanks for letting me hang out with ya tonight
g'nite all
good night, Suz! I'd better get back to writing this proposal…
…i wanted to see how far i could go on one vanilla latte…
*heh* A great barometer there, Suz…! ;-)
One more for the road… I'm on a Mexican Radio…
Best of luck with your proposal, pun…!
Your friend has family. That's a challenge. That's huge. I'm sorry for sounding glib, my friends were young,single and trust-fund babies. Perfect candidates…except for the societal/familial acceptance. There's a world of hurt there and it's beyond my comprehension. The Ripple Effect.
With luck, love will win out.
Life is complicated, eh?
Life is complicated, eh?
Boy, howdy! (wait, let me rephrase that in this context … :~)
May your writing flow!
Good night, punaise
*heh* One more 80′s Earworm… Come On Eileen…
Always a pleasure to see your fonts, pun…!
Cool, I've fond memories of this song. and tequilla, hot sand and swimming in gorgeous warm Mexican waters. Coming back onto the beach,feeling kinda sexy because everyone was looking,…and then they said" You're very brave to swim that far out in Shark Season".
Another of the 9 lives crossed off the list!

Truly embracing digital media is a nearly impossible task for a college newsroom. Many have tried. Many have fallen short — including us. As we move from five issues a week to two, we're afforded the chance to improve the quality of our journalism and build a digital culture. We're reorganizing our staff to ensure that these things actually happens.
Here is the new newsroom:
Three managing editors
→ The print editor will make sure that we're providing content with depth that can withstand three days on the newsstand.
→ The digital editor will keep a close eye on our redesigned website and tidy up from time to time.
→ The art director will ensure that all our products blend together visually.
→ We're creating a team of iPad-equipped digital news reporters — appropriately named The Speed Team — to post short pieces throughout the day.
→ Enterprise reporters will write narrative-driven, investigative stories focused around a micro-beat for the cover of our news edition. Each will become an expert in their topic area and run a blog about it.
→ We're building a staff of features writers and bloggers who are passionate about a particular topic — sex, fashion, food, etc. — who will write about it in print and online.
→ At Oregon, sports is a huge part of our coverage. Our print writers will give the deep, analytical stories. Digital reporters will focus on getting users all the information essential to the impassioned fan.
Art department
→ Designers collaborate with an illustrator to produce expressive and surprising pages in print.
→ Digital designer is responsible for creating infographics, visual metaphors and cutouts for our website.
→ The multimedia and photo teams work to illustrate our stories on the best medium. They'll also be free to enterprise and find their own compelling visual stories.
→ Web developer will create new reporting tools and work to integrate them with WordPress.
This is just an overview of our plans for the newsroom. We'll post details soon. I'd love to hear what you think.
Andy Rossback is the incoming editor in chief of the Emerald. You can tweet him at @arossback.

Local Digest
"Evidently the owl either found a chicken, or stole a chicken from a farmer, and had taken it and landed on a power line or a power pole," said Marc Hollen, spokesman for the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center. "Between the two of them, something shorted out the line and started a fire." Fire investigators determined the cause of the fire when they found the birds' charred remains. Fire officials weren't sure precisely when the Beebe Bridge Fire three miles east of Chelan started in the grass and sage, but by noon yesterday it had ballooned to 600 acres. Fire crews were unable to get to the fire early yesterday but were building firebreaks to prevent it from spreading to nearby houses. Meanwhile, more than 450 firefighters still had not contained the Pot Peak Fire on the south side of Lake Chelan, which had spread to 2,415 acres yesterday. The blaze was burning in dried brush and drought-weakened pine trees on steep, rugged terrain 15 miles west of Chelan. Fire crews were trying to burn areas ahead of the fire yesterday so flames would peter out before reaching homes and outbuildings in nearby Twenty Five Mile Creek. Firefighters expected to contain a 5,300-acre fire on the Colville Indian Reservation in Eastern Washington by today. Kent Wounded man, 23, found lying on ground
A 23-year-old man was wounded in a shooting early yesterday outside an apartment complex in Kent.
Bellevue Stove fire causes $200,000 in damage An unattended stove started a fire that caused $200,000 in damage Saturday afternoon to a split-level home in the Ardmore neighborhood near Interlake High School. No one was injured after a resident of the home in the 2400 block of 165th Place Northeast accidentally turned on the wrong burner, igniting items on the stove, the Bellevue Fire Department reported. Thirty-four firefighters battled flames that leaped 15 feet from second-story windows. Fire damaged the kitchen, dining area, living room and front entry. Smoke and water damage was extensive throughout the home. The American Red Cross was providing temporary shelter to the six residents of the home, who did not have insurance. < Darrington Bicycle-motorcycle collision kills cyclist A 26-year-old cyclist died yesterday when his bike collided with a motorcycle on Highway 530. The Washington State Patrol said Matthew L. Britt, of Darrington, was traveling westbound near the border of Snohomish and Skagit counties at about 6:15 p.m. when his bicycle turned in front of a motorcycle driven by Gary Boggs of Concrete. Boggs and a passenger suffered minor injuries. Portland Chokehold homicide results in probation A man who killed a nightclub customer with a chokehold has been sentenced to five years on probation after pleading guilty to criminally negligent homicide. Tony Marks, 43, was working as a bouncer at the New Copper Penny when he used the hold on Nafatali Tafiot Rusia, 23, during a fight on Nov. 16, 2003. When police arrived, they handcuffed Rusia and later discovered he was not breathing. An autopsy determined that Rusia died of asphyxiation due to manual strangulation. Marks had faced up to five years in prison. But prosecutors said Marks did not have a criminal history and there was evidence that he had acted in self-defense. Before Marks was sentenced, Rusia's family addressed the court. Jean Rusia, the victim's widow, wept and said her grief was impossible to put into words. "I struggle daily finding a reason to live," she said. Marks' attorney, D. Scott Upham, said Marks deeply regretted the homicide.

First Known Use of SUBSISTENCE FARMING
subsistence farming
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Form of farming in which nearly all the crops or livestock raised are used to maintain the farmer and his family, leaving little surplus for sale or trade. Preindustrial agricultural peoples throughout the world practiced subsistence farming.

Body of agents organized to maintain civil order and public safety, enforce the law, and investigate crime. Characteristics common to most police forces include a quasi-military organization, a uniformed patrol and traffic-control force, plainclothes divisions for criminal investigations, and a set of enforcement priorities that reflects the community's way of life. Administration may be centralized at the national level downward, or decentralized, with local police forces largely autonomous. Recruits usually receive specialized training and take an exam. The modern metropolitan police force began with Sir Robert Peel in Britain c. 1829. Secret police are often separate, clandestine organizations established by national governments to maintain political and social orthodoxy, which typically operate with little or no restraint.

I've loved to cook because, from an early age, my favorite memories were of my grandmothers' and great aunt's cooking and nothing makes me happier than to recreate a recipe that conjures up those wonderful memories by recreating their terrific cooking. After all, there's not much for a kid to fall in love with at an early age but good cooking. G-D forbid, if my house caught fire everyone who knows me would know that the first thing I'd grab would be my recipe box (that is actually a large, aluminum lunchbox). Seeing my grandma's and great aunt's handwriting on their recipe cards (now some 70 years old) warms my heart and makes my mouth water. I have about 200 cookbooks, down from 300; but, I still have to buy them when someone who inspires me writes one. My family and friends never turn down an invitation for meals and I love feeding them because in the end the best epitaph for someone--and the one that you see in peoples eyes--is when they say what a great cook 'so and so' was!--and you can see them recalling the memory of that person's cooking in their eyes, as they lick their lips. Food memories last the longest and are so beloved, aren't they? Plus, a good cook is never lonely and their family is never far away from their cooking!
p.s. I love planning menus and even love to recreate restaurant meals and make them healthily--and better--at home. Cooking for me is relaxing and therapeutic and I really hate it when I spend good money at a restaurant and while I'm eating I'm thinking that my cooking is so much better. Not always; but usually so. Always cooking from scratch with love--and sharing it with family and friends.

I'm so sad this one is discontinued..it's the only lipstick I ever use, that should say enough! I'm a lipgloss kinda person, but this lipstick is the exception to my no lipstick rule. Others have described the color quite accurately. Texture and staying powder are as fabulous as might be expected from Chanel. It's soft, it lasts and it won't dry out your lips. I'll now try to grab one from ebay..somewhere..
OH MY GOSH!! I just got this lipstick today (off of Ebay since you can no longer find it in Chanel counters) and I was really scared when I saw the color because it is very dark and very shimmery. But my fears were for nothing because once I put this on I immediately fell in love with it. It is so sheer that just one coat is MLBB, but keep adding more coats and the color just gets better and better. It is a very elegant color and makes me look put together. Very pretty color. If you have a chance to get your hands on this ladies, do so. You won't be disappointed.
Again, another absolutely fabulous lipstick from Chanel. I agree with the other reviewers that this is a ladylike warm berry color. Very, very pretty. These lipsticks are spoiling me. They don't bleed and don't leave your lips dry. IMO, they are the best.
More reviews by AliceinWonderland
I have to disagree with the other reviews of Rockstar. Its really not a reddish colour or even brown. Its more of a subtle berry tone, with shimmer. It goes on quite sheer, and has a lot of frost. Its very similar to the new Fall Chanel lipstick, Flamingo, except Flamingo is more on the mauvey brownish side. I love this lipstick, its a real pick me up for the face.
as mentioned before this is not suitable for rockstars but for sophisticated ladies_ it cahnges its color according to the lipliner used_ i will definitly buy again_
I'm with Jodie. This l/s is fabulous... I just wish I'd found it sooner! It sort of changes colors on you... looks red, looks rose, looks a bit like Force, looks metallic, but not over the top so.... I think I'll have to pick up a few more in this color if (as Jodie says) this is just seasonal.

I was wondering if anyone had experience wintersowing parsley in zone 5 and when you started it. It doesn't list parsley on the wintersowing website as one of the recommended herbs, and I've seen some people post about starting it later (March-ish), but it seems like an herb that would benefit from cold stratification and some freezes and thaws to loosen the seed coat since it takes so long to germinate. This is my first year wintersowing so any recommendations from you experienced wintersowers would be greatly appreciated. : ) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, Em247, I just started parsley in a jug late summer/early fall and it sprouted wonderfully. I'm sure it would do well with wintersowing. I would save it for later in the winter, since it doesn't specifically need stratification. Then again, it is very hardy, so would likely do fine anytime. Fennel is similar, though it tends to reseed in ideal locations, so you may never be rid of it. Both are great for the Black Swallowtail Butterflies. Martha |
Thanks for the tips Martha. : ) I'm up to 18 containers now and I really enjoy Parsley, so I was itching to get it started, but I better just hold my horses and focus on the seeds that actually need cold stratification first and save the parsley for later in the spring. I'll be sure to plant a few extras to save for my mom or the butterflies |
Last year I started it at the end of Feb. It was a great year for my parsley in pots (for the swallowtails). |
Usually and often, parsley seeds fall off , stay in ground, over winter and germinate the following season. But I don't know what percentage of the seeds survive and actually germinate. Another thing about parsley is that it takes a lot longer than most herbs to germinate. When you are about disappointed and want to give up on them, they start germinating. I already have a parsley patch. What I will do is to scatter some more seeds in between the old ones. I know that the ones from last year are going to go to flowers/seed. |

"I tried this recipe with a minor modification - used vanilla essence instead of cocoa powder. And it turned out quite well!! It was fluffy with the perfect amount of sweetness and wasn't too dry or too hard. Thanks for the awesome recipe!"

*Update: The giveaway is now closed. Thank you for participating!*
Thank you Molly Maid for sponsoring this post. Take care of yourself and your home with great tips from Molly Maid and the Cleaning Tips Institute! #MollyMaidTips
For as long as I have been working outside of the home full-time, I have always wanted to hire a maid service to help me to maintain the cleanliness of our home. There is only so much cleaning that I can get done during the evenings and on the weekends around here. Besides, I would much rather spend the majority of my free time having fun with my family, gardening in my backyard, painting my latest furniture find or even watching a movie!
It is not that I mind cleaning so much. I just find that there is not enough time to get everything done that I want to. As a result my cleaning usually gets put on the backburner! I also am blessed with two wonderful children so keeping things clean and organized around our house has become my biggest challenge yet. Those of you with children can probably relate to this; kids can make messes faster than they can be cleaned up sometimes!
When I think of cleaning services, Molly Maid is the first name that comes to mind for me. They have been known as a reputable company for so many years! Recently, I have been seriously contemplating hiring a maid service to help me with the cleaning and to help maintain my sanity. I decided to pop over to the Molly Maid website to see what was new. One thing that really surprised me was that Molly Maid has cleaning tips videos on their website? I had no idea they had this! So helpful!
Out of the 11 videos that they have on their website, the video below is my favourite as I have been trying to get my kids to help out more around the house. Molly Maid has the right idea! Team work is the only way we are going to get things in order around our house once again and keep it that way. Thanks Molly Maid!
All Hands on Deck: How to Get your Kids Involved in Cleaning
Two other videos I found to be very helpful was the one on Coffee Table Crop Signs and also the one on Dirty Dishes Dirty Sink. My kids are forever leaving water marks on my furniture when they help themselves to a drink (they forget to use coasters most of the time!) so it is great to know how to get rid of those pesky watermarks on my sidetables. As well, around our house dirty dishes tend to collect very quickly, sometimes even overflowing the sink. It is so nice to know how to keep the dishes in order and the kitchen sink clean and sparkling.
I need to talk it over more with my husband, but I would really like to hire Molly Maid in the near future to help out with some of the cleaning that tends to not get done as often it should around here such as cleaning the bathrooms, washing the windows and keeping up with the seasonal cleaning. Having Molly Maid come in to do the deep cleaning, even once a month, would help us out so much!
Have you ever hired a maid service before? How was your experience? Is it something that you would do again?
I am so excited for our first giveaway on the blog! Here are the details…
Molly Maid has generously offered one of my readers the chance to win a "Take Care of You" gift pack (a $50 value)! It includes a nail file, foot pumice scrub, microfiber cleaner, and more!

One theme that seems to be very fashionable around the evolution of e-government is e-participation. Its definition in Wikipedia is "ICT-supported participation in processes involved in government and governance". Processes may concern administration, service delivery, decision making and policy making."
While this definition mentions both service delivery and decision/policy making, many people use the term in the latter sense: engaging citizens in city planning or in commenting about a draft policy, creating blogs to discuss future policies or wikis for interactive policy making, and so forth.
As I have written before, this kind of participation, when it happens on-line, is unlikely to take place – or at least to thrive – on a government-controlled channel. To some extent, it would be more appropriate to see such a dialogue develop on a Parliament or a Congressman web site, rather than on a government one. What would be much useful though is to allow people to comment about the services they receive or the administrative obligations they have to discharge, asking them to rate them and to provide suggestions for their improvement. It is most likely that also part of this conversations will take place outside the government context, on social networking sites, fora, blogs. However for services that are partially or totally delivered online, the government web site or portal can be an important touch point to capture opinions, thoughts, suggestions.
At a meeting last week where I met international experts on e-government from several countries, there seemed to be a wide agreement about this and the fact that e-participation should be more tightly related to service delivery. On the other hand, when we discussed the role of web 2.0, a few colleagues mentioned its importance for personalizing the government portal. As if people cared composing a page with feeds and widgets from government.
Reality is that interaction with government is rare for most citizens and those who interact most are also likely to be the least inclined to use electronic channels. Service levels will increase by greater efficiency, shorter waiting times, less rather more interactions. Becoming less visible by leveraging existing data and previous interactions as well as by enabling citizens to choose their preferred intermediaries: these are steps that – especially in the current challenging times – government IT organizations should take to contain costs and increase service levels at the same time.
Although many e-government research programs, consultants and vendors seem to be beating the old drum of "more interaction is better", there is still hope. I just saw that I have the following inquiry in the coming days, from a state authority:
"Citizens are contacting their government 1.3 times a year as an average. Even if the e-Government is a huge topic, the question remains if it does make sense to establish a digital solution for that due to the very low usage."
I love this question and I'd wish more government officials to ask it.
Any thoughts?

Wed, Feb 19, 2014 (HealthDay News) — Many pediatricians and family doctors in the United States lack expertise in diagnosing and treating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, and are seeking help from child mental health experts.
One of those specialists is Dr. Peter Jensen, a well-known child psychiatrist who offers ADHD education seminars to health professionals through his nonprofit Resource of Advancing Children's Health Institute, The New York Times reported.
The intensive three-day sessions are held about 10 times a year across the U.S. and about 2,000 health professionals have attended them.
There are only 8,300 child psychiatrists in the U.S. and this low number means that many children with ADHD have to be seen by pediatricians and family doctors, most of whom received little or no training about the disorder in medical school, The Times reported.
Even if medical schools devoted more time to ADHD and other child mental health issues, the benefits wouldn't be seen for 20 or 30 years, Jensen noted.
"We have the problem now, and it needs to be addressed now," the former associate director of child and adolescent research at the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health told The Times.
His seminars emphasize role-playing and lively debate.
"Most continuing medical education is somebody standing up at a podium transmitting facts," Jensen told The Times. "But with ADHD that's like showing a slide show of how to swim the butterfly, and expecting people to go home and swim the butterfly. It takes real hands-on training."
One in seven children in the U.S. is diagnosed with ADHD by the time they turn 18, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says. ADHD is the second most common (asthma is first) long-term medical condition in children.

I have been wanting to make a martini using Nutella for some time now. Here's what I came up with. Swirl Nutella in a martini glass.

This basically means adding fruits, herbs, and spices to Vodka in order to create a uniquely flavored liquor.

There is mounting scientific evidence that global warming is already having profound effects on birds, broader biodiversity, wildlife habitat, and ecosystems. Here are some of the ways that global warming is affecting wildlife:
Geographic range
The ranges of many plants and animals are moving toward the poles and toward higher elevations. For example, the ranges of many British breeding birds were, on average, more than 11 miles farther north in the period from 1988-91 than they were in the period from 1968-72, according to comparisons derived from breeding bird atlases. (British butterflies are also being found farther north.)
Reproduction timing
Egg-laying, flowering, and spawning are occurring earlier for many species, in some cases disrupting delicate cycles that ensure that insects and other food are available for young animals. For example, Tree Swallows across North America have advanced egg-laying by as many as nine days from 1959 to 1991.
Migration timing and patterns
Spring migration is occurring earlier and fall migration later in many species. For example, 25 migratory bird species are arriving in Manitoba, Canada, earlier than they did 63 years ago; only two are arriving later.
Frequency and intensity of pest outbreaks
Global warming increases droughts in some areas; and spruce budworm outbreaks frequently follow droughts, perhaps because dry weather increases the stress on host trees or allows more spruce budworm eggs to be laid. Spruce budworms can be lethal to spruce trees, and spruce-fir forests are a very important habitat type in the northern hemisphere for a wide variety of plants and animals.

So, I recently just got Koronus Bestiary, along with First Foundings for DW, and I have to say, overall I am very pleased. If nothing else, I love Eldar, and finally getting a book with so many in it, including the new Shadow Spectre Aspect Warriors, made me VERY pleased, even if I don't care for Orks, or know enough about the Yu'Vath or Stryxis to be as excited that they are in there, too. One little gaping sadness for me, though, comes in the absence of Aspect Warrior Exarchs. Most groups can have one leading them, and I don't imagine one being more than the group could handle, compared to JUST a group of the Eldar's best fighters. I have Children of Isha, so that might inspire me, but might there be any fast and dirty ideas/rules that I can add to the standing AW blocks, to adequately reflect those best of Lost on the Roads Eldar? I can glean some of their weapons from other books, like Hostile Acquisitions, or take from Children of Isha, but the stat blocks, being different, might be harder to scale, and advice would be nice. Having the Dire Avenger Exarchs, and no others, is sort of sad.
Thanks much to anyone who might grant aide. Have a good one.

saw an ad for a driveway cleaner: Rejuvenate Stain Sealer.
Supposedly it contains 'microbes that eat away the oil,tar, etc. ...' $19.99 ordered from www.forlifeproducts.com or from Home Depot. Has anyone tried this product &, if so, did it do the job as advertized? Have a tenant that moved in with a vehicle oil leak that dripped all over a newly poured $$ concrete drive!! Would appreciate any thoughts on this product! -vieja |

I haven't used that, but it's cheap enough to give it a shot. I would make the tenant pay for the cleanup; maybe wait until they move out or fix the vehicle to do the cleaning so you don't have to worry about redoing it again and again. We have always used cat litter to soak up the oil and then dishwashing detergent soaking into the concrete for several hours then rinse with a hose. There are some dark spots left, but not as noticeable as the oil spill itself. |
I use oven cleaner. |

The idiots at the oil change place didn't fasten something, and we ended up with lots of oil stains on our carport cement floor. I got Pour-n-Restore at our local Ace Hardware, which removed the stains easily. It is a liquid that is poured on the stain, spread with a small brush or broom, and when it dries to a powder you sweep it away with the stain. Worked for us! Anyone know of a competent oil change place? |
Thanks, I will try both products to see which-if either- will help. When someone knows they have a leaky oil problem with their car I'd hope they would either fix it (dream on!) or at least lay down a piece of carpet or pan to catch the oil! Hubby said pouring gasoline on the spot, scrubbing with a broom & then hosing it down might work (he was a mechanic) but not great for the environment I'd guess! |
For a rental, I'd get a sheet of fiber cement board and place it in the drive where drips occur. To clean a spill, I used the cheapest powdered laundry detergent I could find. Water, scrub brush on a handle and a bit of time did the trick. |

Awesome cleaner from Dollar Tree. Spray on undiluted, leave for 15-20 minutes and give it a light scrub. Rinse. Cheap, easy, effective, non-toxic |
