Beautiful blouse
I purchased the green one for my mother for Christmas. She absolutely loved it. The fabric is soft, does not look cheap and was extremely comfortable. My mom like the fact that she could leave it fully buttoned or wear a lace trimmed cami underneath and leave the shirt opened. Mom is 5'8" and a size 10. The L was a perfect fit. I wish I ordered one for myself!

Like Them!
I really love these jeans. Most skinny jeans have too low of a rise, but these are perfect - not constantly pulling them up. They are very comfortable, too. I've gotten many compliments on them as they accentuate long legs. I wish they came in more colors!
Chattanooga, TN
Very Comfortable
I have been looking for skinny jeans that are snug without being too tight and binding. These are super soft and comfy (for skinny jeans). However, the waist is higher and the back end is not overly flattering. The high pockets give the seat of the jeans of mommy jean look. But, with most skinny jeans, I usually wear a tunic or long shirt so my backside isn't visible anyway. Will keep them because they are so comfy. I am 5'3" and 105lbs. I usually wear a petite so these are a bit long, but that can be fixed by rolling the bottoms and wearing boots. These run on the smaller end; the 4 fit me and I usually need a size 2. If you order your normal size, beware they will probably be quite snug (as skinny jeans should be)!

LOVE these shoes
I have very wide feet and finding cute shoes that look good and are comfy can be a problem. These shoes are great, and my feet don't look like boats in them. There is not a lot of arch support, but I don't plan on walking for miles in them so that's not a problem. They are adorable and fit well.

History note
This Tank was used by General (later Field Marshal) Sir Bernard Law Montgomery in the Desert Campaign in 1942 - 1943, including the Battle of El Alamein in October 1942 in which the 8th Army defeated Rommel. It continued to be used by Monty during the invasion of Sicily in July 1943, and for the remainder of that year as the 8th Army advanced into Italy. It was attached to 8th Army Headquarters and was used by Montgomery and subsequent Commanders for forward observation on the battlefield. It was "Monty's wish" that the tank should be handed back to his old Regiment, the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, and in 1948 it was brought from Austria to England and became gate guardian at Budbrooke Barracks outside Warwick. It was later displayed at the Depot of the Queen's Division at Bassingbourn which the Royal Regiment joined in 1968. Completely restored in 1985 - 1988 by volunteers at the Army's Armoured Vehicle Depot at Ludgershall, Hampshire it was handed over to the Imperial War Museum on 6th June 1988. Photographs of Monty in this tank in North Africa can be obtained from the Imperial War Museum Photo Archive.

I have a Weed Eater GHT225 that refuses to start. I have done the following: 1. Replace plug The only thing I can think of is that the timing on the flywheel/magnets is off, or simply not strong enough. Anyone else got other ideas.... |
Follow-Up Postings:
1. The compression is low if that is 4-5 strokes and the gauge is a good screw in type. 2. Remove the muffler and peek in the Cyl for scratches/scores wear as the problem vs shinny smooth. 3. If the Cyl is shinny smooth, double check your gauge use or with another. |

MyLincoln Touch provided one of the easiest iPhone-syncing experiences I've had in any car. The voice command dialing worked superbly and the sound quality was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised, because I've had so many bad experiences with syncing phones and with voice control in various brands of test cars, I had about given up trying to do it anymore. But Ford and Lincoln have made such a big deal out of MyTouch, I figured I ought to give it a try, and I was glad I did.
I took two retired ladies for a ride in the Lincoln MKX, one of whom owns a Lexus RX350, and they were impressed. The Lexus owner thought this was a much more exciting and glamorous vehicle.
I have to admit I was shocked by the sticker price of our admittedly fully loaded model: $51K. Wow. I'm sorry, but I don't think the Lincoln brand has enough equity in our marketplace to be charging the same sort of dough that Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, and Audi can for their small/mid-size luxury crossovers. I pegged this as more of a $40K, $45K sort of vehicle.
The performance from the 3.7-liter V-6 is fine -- 305 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque is nothing to sneeze at-but for $51K I think buyers might rightfully expect the EcoBoost twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6.
The touch-screen interface is at once totally cool and totally frustrating. I like the four submenus, located in the four corners of the screen, that give you core information on what's happening with your phone, radio, climate control, and navigation functions. I was frustrated by the touchpad volume control and could only manage to dial the volume up or down in 25% increments, but I was later told by a colleague that you have to touch your fingertip and then slide it for smaller increments. Or, as my colleague said, just use the steering wheel mounted volume control. As for the optional THX II stereo in our test car? It totally rocks.
As do the heaters for the seat and steering wheel, but turning them on via the touch screen is a little bit fussy, requiring your fingertip to hit the screen just so. I do like the way you can punch in a radio station numerically with the numbered keypad.
Like every Ford and Lincoln vehicle built on this front-wheel-drive/all-wheel-drive corporate platform, the MKX suffers from an overall feeling of being just a bit bloated. The relationship between the driver, the driver's seat, the side glass, the dashboard, and the windshield is just a little off. There's a feeling of unnecessary mass that you don't get in a lot of the MKX's competitors, such as the Audi Q5, the Mercedes GLK, and even the Cadillac SRX. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's definitely something I notice.

Best blind date story? Worst blind date story? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I did in high school. There was a time, somehow I went on a blind date every weekend for about a month!! The worst? A friend set me up with a friend of a friend, and a friend of his. I took another friend of mine (that was the rule, blind dates were always double dates). Well, the first friend had described this guy, and he turned out to be NOTHING like what she said. So very not! When I confronted her about it, she was very confused, and said she would look into it. Seems like the original guy had other plans, and sent a buddy in his place. That was one of the LAST blind dates I went on! Jean |

Most if not all commercial gill netters have full time jobs, a lot are in the construction industry, I know this because I worked beside them in the same industry. Whats more they fish at night where they are not monitored and I know this because I see them come in the morning to drop off their catches and there are no observers aboard. Jim Wells said early in the interview on KATU with Steve Dunn that the Tribes do not sell their fish but rather eat them and then later said that the buyers could buy them. He stepped on himself several times in this interview with inaccurate information. Any one who has gone to Cascade Locks and bought fish from the tribes can tell you that the tribes do sell their fish. Whats more they sell them to Pacific Sea Foods in Clackamas. The Sport Fisherman are not going to get any more fish and as a matter of act they have been cut off many times for fear of over harvesting. Whats more there will be fish in all of the newly formed safe areas for the Gill Netters to fish on, they are simply blowing smoke and crying over what they know is better for the fish but not for them. Measure 81 is a win win for the fish and that is what truly matters. Please vote Yes On 81, I know I will
@steve johnson You are so wrong but then again I suppose you don't think that Men who work hard and have Ambition to do better should work side jobs? I have worked extra jobs my entire Adult life to make ends meet and to get things and do things that I would not be able to afford otherwise. Also how do you suppose they will fit 200 nets in the newly formed areas that have already been fished for over 100 years and already have a sustainable number of fishermen on them? Your BS did not win and will cost the State Millions in Court Fees when all is said and done.
A lot of commercial gillnetters fish in multiple areas because they have to just to make ends meet! Your statement that 'most if not all' is laughable. You don't know 'most' or 'all'. Some work construction because it is something they can do in the off-season so that they can put food on the table!
As far as the fishing at night comments go there is so many opinions being thrown around pretending to be facts. Fisherman fish at night on the Columbia, not because they chose to fish at night and not so that they can hide what they are doing...they fish at night because the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has determined that that is when they shall fish. They determined that because there simply is less boat traffic on the water at night. Ships are not moving up the Columbia at night and there is no sport traffic. I like how you said that you know what is happening because you see them coming in to off-load. Not every boat has an observer, every time!
"Whats more there will be fish in all of the newly formed safe areas for the Gill Netters to fish on...' Where are these newly formed areas and where are all of these fish coming from? I didn't see anything about that in Measure 81. Commercial Fishermen don't go out and rape and pillage the high seas! They are a management tool for use by the Department of Fish and Wildlife. They are very concerned about the health of the fish runs because it is there livelihood! They are very involved in Salmon Enhancement programs on the river. Both Commercial Fisherman and Sport Fishermen get cut off equally if the escapement is not meeting ODF&W goals!
I would be interested in seeing the study on mortality rates that says sport fisherman kill as many salmon with a hook in the mouth as commercial fisherman kill with a gill net. Are you speaking percentages or the fact that there are thousands more sport fisherman than commercials and after handling far more fish the numbers come out to the same?
It would also be interesting to show the general public (who as quoted, spend almost a BILLION dollars  a year on salmon recovery) what the average commercial makes on the gillnet season opposed to how much is spent on the local economy from the sport fisherman pursuing the same fish, let alone the money spent by BPA..which trickles down to the ratepayer.
Interesting again that the Commercials are not wanting this to go to a ballot measure when isnt this how fish wheels got banned from the Columbia in the first place...from a charge lead by the folks that were gill netting?
Allocations are staying the same...there is nothing in the bill that would shift what is already divided between the sport fisherman and the commercial fisherman...it is time for us to be stewards of the resources that have shaped Oregon. Wild places and wild salmon...
@crayfin Hooking Mortality by Anatomical Location and Its Use in Estimating Mortality of Spring Chinook Salmon Caught and Released in a River Sport Fishery, North American Journal of Fisheries Management, 24:367-378, 2004
Recomendations for Tangle Net release mortality assumptions for Spring Chinook, Prepared by the U.S. v Oregon Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), March 26, 2008.
Also, if you think that allocations are going to stay the same then you don't know how it works! If you have a certain size of run with a certain size of desired escapement that leaves you with the balance as the expected harvest. If commercials cannot harvest any of that run, then the sport community would be allowed to harvest them all. Allocations have been hard fought by the commercial community because the sport lobbies have fought to take every last bit of it away from them!
Changing of fishing gear type would not happen with a passing of this vote. It is a legal requirement that before any new gear type is allowed, it's mortality rate and by-catch has to be determined, and this is no small feat! So...if it was to pass the commercial fishermen would be out of jobs, which believe me (of course you don't have to) many local businesses would fold! There are not enough off-stem areas nor is there enough hatchery production to sustain the community.
As far as sport fishermen supporting the local economies, they don't support them! Only local sport fishermen support the local economies and they also support the commercial fishermen because they know the real story behind this and do not support the sport lobby politics coming down from Portland and rich owners of outdoor sport fitters. I watch all of the guides and weekend warriors from Portland come down to the coast and they don't spend much here because they bring it all down from Portland or buy it online and then take it all back! Commercial guys are fully invested in the survival of the Columbia River runs because it is their livelihood and they spend money in the local communities year round!
Gill nets are not selective! Every fish large enough gets caught and killed! Gill nets should be banded! Gill nets should be banded for everybody!
I would also like to say that in the media you hear things like gillnets kill everything or gillnets have been called curtains of death and the like. The media and the sport fishing community over the years has muddied the waters starting back in the 80's when concern about 'High Seas Drift Nets' started coming to light. The public was shown images of foreign factory ships fishing in the open ocean with drift nets (miles long and closer to large seine net construction) that are nothing like gillnets. These ships were shown killing dolphins and the like. Over the years the public has been fed mis-information and it started getting used recently on gillnets as an emotional tactic by the sport fishing lobby. The term 'Curtains of Death' was coined for High Seas Drift Nets, not commercial gillnets. Also the information coming from certain organizations regarding the Maui's  dolphin population in New Zealand has never been scientifically linked to anything to do with gillnets. Whats more, the nets used in that New Zealand fishery are setnets and not drift gillnets, which if you know anything about commercial fishing is a different beast. Additionally...the New Zealand report concluded that there was not a significant difference whether the setnets were there or not for the Maui's dolphins. The population could increase or decrease regardless of whether the setnets were there or not there. For the Hector's dolphins there was not statistically significant evidence that setnets were a factor, but they concluded that if the setnets were not there, that subjectively they could see a population increase, but there was no significant statistics behind it. It was not fact based and there are many other factors that were probably more significant to the population than simply setnets. Don't simply take what one side is feeding you! Learn to think for yourself and make informed, fact based decisions!
That is why there mesh size restrictions, also that would be "Banned" not Banded. I would like to see Tangle nets used exclusively, it would cost more but a gradual change would work. What it comes down to is the runs are already growing each year, why change what works? These people just want all the fish for themselves. Where will the Public get thier share of Salmon? Farm fish? Also, since you statement comes off as factual I have to ask what experience you have? Have you ever actually been on a Gillnet boat when it is fishing?
Maybe we could have a Tribal Member explain to listeners how they were able to non selective fish using almost every known method except hook and line and never have a salmon shortage for 1000's of years?
Gee...let's also add that hook & line sport fishing isn't very selective!!! Mr. Polley are you telling the voting public that only hatchery fish strike your line??? I know you said that sport fishers are required to keep the wild salmon in the water, but you didn't say anything about the fact that there is still a mortality rate associated with releasing that hooked wild salmon! You also didn't say that that mortality rate is just as high as the commercial mortality rate! So...perhaps we should ban sport fishing on the Columbia River! What say you?
These poor fisherman and their families are getting fired from their jobs, life and family history if this bill passes⦠Mr. Wells is right that this is not a ballot issue and the voters need to be better educated on the non-tribal gillnet fishery⦠The amount of regulation these gillnetters have is incredible and contrary to Mr. Polleyâs comments the regulations make for a truly sustainable fishery⦠The commissions, with their acute scientific knowledge should decide this matter so vote NO and let these families surviveâ¦!
A concerned tribal gillnetter
good job jim just to bad you didnt tell the people in oregon the reason it is on the ballot is one mans donnatoin to the cca of 500,000.00 to pay signature gatherers!. a man that lives in washington state.now the people in oregon can vote if they want to eat wild salmon or eat cancer causing farmed salmon. i vote no on 81 we love wild salmon.and we need our oregon jobs.thank you katu
Isn't it "Your Voice, Your Vote?"
Anyway, excellent program. The questions and format were appropriate and fair and the messages were very clear. The ballot measure seeks to reform our salmon fishery to make it more sustainable in view of our massive investments in saving wild fish, and the gillnet representative confirmed that their only interest is in saving their jobs despite the harm caused by their gear.  I am crystal clear on how I will vote --- YES on 81!  Thank you for this program.
Ginny Ross
Ginny, you have heard some of the facts but not nearly all of them. Yes, the Fishermen are worried about their jobs, anyone would be with thier investments ruined. Also Seining kills nearly all the bi-catch by groupng them in so tight they lose thier scales and can't breath. This truely is just another attempt by the Sport Fishing Industry to get All the fish for themselves. The Sport Fishing Industry already takes way more fish than Commercial fishing does on the Columbia. One other fact, most gillnetters have drift rights for thier section of river. They are required to maintain that area to keep thier exclusive rights at thier own expense but it also keeps the river safe for navigation. Also my family has been Commercial fishing t9he Columbia for over 100 years and 5 generations, no one cares more about Fish and Habitat conservation than we do. The runs are increasing every year, there is no reason to change what is working. Also why aren't Guides and Charter fishing boats considered Commercial? They catch fish for money, they should have to pay for State Permits as well. Think carefully before voting on this, there are some communities that depend on the revenue from Commercial fishing and allot of families that will be destroyed just so some Sport Fishermen can catch a few more fish.
Thanks for your informed view Ginny! :( What is the harm exactly that gillnet gear does? Maybe you should read the scientific reports from the Fish & Game Department that shows statistically there is no difference in mortality rates between commercial gillnet fishing and hook & line sport fishing!! Also, perhaps you should spend some time with a commercial fisherman to understand that the gear, placement of the gear, areas where the gear are used and time allowed fishing are very selective. Let Fish and Game Management do their job! They do an excellent job of managing our resources scientifically, not on the ignorant whims of public sentiment.
 @Erik Careful there big guy. That statement ("ignorant whims of public sentiment") makes it sound like you don't think the voting public should have a chance to vote on this because they don't know enough about it. Welcome to modern day politics my friend. Most voters only know what they hear on TV and from the media and are still allowed to vote, regardless of the election. It's a right of all Americans. You don't have to be smart or well informed to be allowed to vote, although I wish sometimes it was requried...just look at our last presidential election...
@kramer @Erik A lot of people feel like using the word ignorant is somehow an attack against a person or group of persons. I don't feel that way and feel free to use the word because I know what it means. It simply means, 'lacking knowledge or comprehension of the thing specified.' - from the Merriam Webster dictionary. Just because a thing is a certain way doesn't mean I have to accept it or like it: "Welcome to modern day politics my friend." What people hear on TV and from the media is generally very disappointing! Generally when you dig a little further you find things such as, illustrations that are used to make a point are not even related to the topic at hand, quotes are taken out of context, opinions are presented like they are fact without any references or credit given to where it came from. I am an American and I love and up-hold our freedoms. You don't have to tell me what the rights are of all Americans! Nothing in my post was to suggest that certain citizens or some citizens should not be allowed to vote! Do I think that this issue is something that should be decided in a ballot measure? No. I think ODF&W should be allowed to do their job and do it scientifically, not being pressured by politics to go against scientific studies and fact based decisions. They are doing a good job and fish numbers are on the rise.

When someone visits our area, it's likely they'll order Key lime pie as the perfect ending to his or her meal (usually consisting of fresh fish). Key limes are Florida's star fruit — they originated in the nearby Florida Keys. The Key lime is smaller and more pungent than what most think of as a lime, the Persian lime.
Usually associated with the chilled citrus dessert that's creamy, light, tart and sweet, Key lime pie has become synonymous with Florida. Even though Key lime season runs from June through August, it's a year-round staple that locals and tourists expect to find on the menu.
And some places have produced unique twists on the summer citrus. Here's a look at some local finds.
HAVE YOUR CAKE: Key lime truffle, cake pop and cupcake
Heavenly Cupcakes
6538 Gateway Ave., Sarasota; 5212 Ocean Blvd., Siesta Key
Hours: 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday
Price: $2.50 per cake pop; $2.75 per truffle; and $2.85 per cupcake
Info: Call 346-0024 or visit MyHeavenlyCupcakes.com
When owner of Heavenly Cupcakes, Becky Schultes, opted to create a Key lime pie-flavored cake as the weekly special, it flew off the shelves. Her green dough, and even the icing, is lime flavored, and the combo has the best kind of lip-puckering effect. The cake pop is the simplest form; the truffle is served on a graham-cracker base; and the cupcake has lime-flavored cream cheese frosting.
"We live in Florida!" Schultes says, "You gotta have Key lime, right?" If they aren't already in-store, these Key lime cakes can be specially ordered.
DESSERT FOR BREAKFAST: Key lime waffles
Currents Restaurant at Hyatt Regency Sarasota
1000 Blvd. of the Arts, Sarasota
Hours: 6:30 to 10 p.m. Monday through Sunday (Breakfast served from 6:30 to 11 a.m.) | Price: $13
Info: Call 953-1234, Ext. 1260
This fluffy breakfast-menu item at Currents restaurant puts a Floridian twist on a traditional favorite. The large single waffle offers a subtle lime flavor in airy, crisp and savory dough featuring Key lime zest and vanilla mascarpone. Accoutrements of juicy, roasted pineapple compote and toasted coconut sit atop a mound of melting butter right in the center. One bite gives the perfect semblance of dessert for breakfast — talk about waking up on the right side of the bed.
Chef Leo Gianulis created these Key lime waffles because of the demand.
"Just like if you go to Kansas City, you want to get barbecue," he says.
IN HIGH SPIRITS: Key lime martini
Tommy Bahama
300 John Ringling Blvd., St. Armands Circle
Hours: 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday. Happy hour is from 4 to 6 p.m. daily. | Price: $10
Info: Call 388-2888 or visit tommybahama.com
A few years ago, the management of Tommy Bahama attempted to take the Key lime martini off the menu, but so many people kept ordering it, they realized just how much of a fixture it had become. The local lime used in the martini comes from Sarasota's Central Market Quality Wholesale Produce and Dairy. The martini is creamy but light and extremely tangy. The graham cracker-crust rim gives the idea one is indulging in an actual pie.
General Manager Thai Branton suggests substituting dessert for one of these cocktails, but for those who can't go without the pie — Tommy Bahama offers the real thing, too.
JUST LIKE MOM'S: Key lime pie
Morton's Gourmet Market
1924 S. Osprey Ave., Sarasota
Hours: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (bakery opens at 7 a.m.) Monday through Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (bakery opens at 8 a.m.) Sunday
Price: $15 a pie; $3.50 a slice
Info: Call 955-9856 or visit mortonsmarket.com
When one just wants to order pie, Morton's is arguably one of the best stops to make in Sarasota. The store receives many requests daily for its Key lime pie, not because it's unusual, but because it is familiar — just the way mom made it — crumbly and buttery graham cracker crust, tangy lime filling, and the perfect amount of whipped cream.
Executive Pastry Chef Jami Holton says the key to having a great Key lime pie is the perfect amount of Key lime juice. It's a skill she's perfected by making Morton's Key lime pies in-house daily.
Key Lime Martini
Recipe Courtesy Tommy Bahama
2 oz Stoli Vanil
2 oz. Keke Liquer
.5 oz fresh lime juice
Shake until chilled and strain into martini glass. Garnish with a graham-cracker rim and a lime wheel.

What I assume to be potions are being shown as pickaxes. The item when hovered over lists itself as a pickaxe as well as being +25 damage, but the sell value appears as 25g.
Found a bug: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/...php?p=23853645
While spectating a friend playing Ahri she had no Orb floating in the air above her hand until the first time that her Q was casted.(Uninportant but worth mentioning)

Hey, after this new patch with the Spectator mode alot of people I know are being Dc'ed many times during a match, for example me and a two other friends got dc'ed atleast more than 6 times during a bot game. Not sure whats going on but the enemy were having the same problem. If you could help or fix this, please do. Thanks
For me, when i went in directed camera (already on) it went haywire and didn't follow anyone + help button was not click-able. Worked after going onto manual mode then back into directed
I don't know if this was posted. This bug did not happen in the first game (if I remember correctly) I spectate but I had it in all the others: The conversation in chat between teammates are not displayed, at all. I have activated the "Show All-Chat option" and I activate the chat display. The All-Chat appears, the "big items" texts, shutdowns and etc appears. But not the teamchat. I'm not sure if this is intended or a bug
In the summary after the game, the tooltips that appear when you roll over champions don't display summoner levels and the number of games that they have won is NaN.
When I spectate my friend's game, I'm able to tell him whether the enemy buffs were up a few seconds ago, which makes it a lot easier to steal jungle.
I can't lock onto a player, i.e. pressing a number 1-5 Q-T only puts the camera at their position but doesn't continue to follow them.


text: I never follow diet trends. Its something about someone telling me what to eat and when to eat it that seems so completely pointless even if their advice is reasonable. I don't even follow recipes when cooking. I like to cook, I mean I love to cook! Someone just bought me a george foreman grill I never even thought to buy so I've been using that as part of my cooking healthier goal. I don't eat out much like I used to. I prefer cooking anyway. This is officially my day 2. So far I'm very motivated but the hardest is 2 weeks break thru like someone on here had told me on here. So instead of following a plan that I would have to mold myself in I came up with an idea that would suit me and that I'll less likely stick to. Yesterday I bought one of those little coolers u would take on camping trips. Nothing huge but it would fit into your fridge. Last night I made up what I will eat for the day ahead and put it all in that little cooler. I will eat nothing but what's in that cooler. Plus I will pay attention to when I will eat, every 3 hrs about. I have a bad habit of eating when I'm bored. One of the changes I'm making to my life. This cooler idea wil help me with my emotional eating and my portion control and I'm not starving myself.

geographical name (Concise Encyclopedia)/div>
/div>Country, southeastern South America. Area: 68,679 sq mi (177,879 sq km). Population: (2009 est.) 3,361,000. Capital: Montevideo. People of European ancestry (mostly Spanish and Italian) make up about nine-tenths of the population; most of the remainder are mestizos or people of African-European descent. Few Indians remain. Language: Spanish (official). Religions: Christianity (predominantly Roman Catholic; also other Christians, Protestant), Judaism. Currency: Uruguayan peso. Uruguay is the only South American country lying entirely outside the tropics. Its topography consists mainly of low plateaus and low hilly regions. The principal waterway is the Negro River; the Uruguay River forms the country's entire western border with Argentina. Mineral and energy resources are limited. Pastures, covering almost four-fifths of the land area, support large herds of livestock raised for meat, leather goods, and wool. Chief crops include rice, sugarcane, oranges, wheat, and corn. Other important economic activities are tourism, fishing, and the manufacture of textiles and chemicals. Uruguay is a republic with two legislative houses; its head of state and government is the president. Prior to European settlement, it was inhabited mainly by the Charrúa and Guaraní Indians. The Spanish navigator Juan Díaz de Solís sailed into the Río de la Plata estuary in 1516. The Portuguese established Colonia in 1680. Subsequently the Spanish established Montevideo in 1726, driving the Portuguese from their settlement; 50 years later Uruguay became part of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata. It gained independence from Spain in 1811. The Portuguese regained it in 1821, incorporating it into Brazil as a province. A revolt against Brazil in 1825 led to its being recognized as an independent country in 1828. It sided with Brazil and Argentina against Paraguay in the War of the Triple Alliance (1864/65–70). The economy benefited from a demand for raw material during World War II (1939–45) and the Korean War (1950–53). The office of the president was abolished in 1951 and replaced with a nine-member council. The country adopted a new constitution and restored the presidential system in 1966. A military coup occurred in 1973, but the country returned to civilian rule in 1985. The 1990s brought a general upturn in the economy, largely the result of reform measures and membership in Mercosur, the Southern Common Market (1991).

There once was a man with a knack.
He collected words by the sack.
Now he's king of the hill,
Last year, he made six mil'.
And he's making so much Jack
because he stuck magnets on his back.
Dave Kapell sells poetry kits-magnets with words-the idea being
that Longfellows and short fellows can make up their own verse on
the front of the fridge. It's a creative, fun product, but as
even Kapell admits, the question consumers have to hurdle is,
"Why would I pay $20 for a little box of words?"
Kapell was a guitarist in a Minneapolis band when he created the
prototype for Magnetic Poetry. The musician clipped out compelling
phrases from newspapers, magazines and letters, stuck them in an
envelope, and then when he had songwriter's block, he'd
dump them out and see if anything ignited his imagination. One day
in 1993, the then-311-year-old fatefully sneezed, scattering the
words about. But instead of thinking, "Gee, maybe I should get
some antihistamine," Kapell promptly concluded, "This
would work a lot better if the words would stick in one
When Kapell's friends saw the word magnets on his refrigerator,
they loved the concept and soon, Kapell was bringing his little
creation to social get-togethers. "They were invariably the
hit of the party, and that was the point when I realized I was
really on to something," says Kapell, who figures his start-up
capital to begin Magnetic Poetry was "probably about a hundred
bucks." This year, he expects his company, with a staff of 24,
to make $6.5 million.
So how did Kapell convince people-lots of people-to plop down $20
for a bag of words? Surely, any poet-wanna-bes could opt for pen
and paper, and there's always the computer that probably set
them back a couple grand. For starters, as all entrepreneurs
should, Kapell passionately believed in his idea. Second, he was
lucky that his product has built-in word-of-mouth. "The beauty
of our product is we have some prime billboard real estate, which
is people's refrigerators," says Kapell. "You go into
people's homes and play with it for a while, and all of the
sudden, you're hooked. Then you don't care how much you pay
for it."
Third, Kapell looked for help from businesses close to home:
"I went to the stores where I shopped, and I'd ask the
[retailers], 'What would you do if you were me?'"
Kapell received recommendations on how to package his product, and
even what sales representatives he should contact.
Which echoes Girard's guidance: Don't be afraid to ask the
people you're selling to for advice on how to sell. During his
automobile era, if Girard didn't sell a car, he'd call the
ex-customer back and ask, "Was it something I said? Was there
something you didn't like about me? People will tell you, if
you ask them," insists Girard.

The snow started early on Friday and did not relent until the following morning. Upon waking, we were met with the sun peeking into our bedroom windows giving the promise of a beautiful day. The promise was fulfilled with sun, warmer weather and just enough snow to make sledding, snow ice cream and snowmen possibilities.
But first, before venturing out, we shared a special breakfast together.
We fortified ourselves with paleo banana pancakes made with almond and coconut flours, mashed banana and eggs. They were the perfect accompaniment to our wonder at the beauty of God's creation in the snow.
After devouring pancakes and bacon, and feasting our eyes on the snowy morning outside our windows, we decided to head to a nearby estate-turned-park known as Natirar. The crystal blue sky, the sparkling white snow and the giant sycamore trees greeted us.
We thought it would be fun to make use of the pristine snow and venture sledding on the rolling hills.
It turned out a few others had the same idea.
Stopping By Woods on a Snowy EveningBy Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Snowballby Shel Silverstein
I made myself a snow ball as perfect as could be.
I thought I'd keep it as a pet and let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas and a pillow for it's head.
Then, last night it ran away.
But first — it wet the bed.
It was a fine day in the sunshine and snow filled with the beauty of nature and the joy of life exemplified by frolicking children and adults.

Real Estate Advisory Board Event Hosted by Silverstein Properties
Two new gifts to the Penn State Smeal College of Business Department of Risk Management were announced last month at a landmark event for alumni in New York City.
The first was a $350,000 endowment from an anonymous donor to support research funds for the department. The second, the James B. Thomas Trustee Scholarship, will provide support to outstanding students pursuing the Risk Management major. Named for the former dean of Smeal, Thomas is now a faculty member in Risk Management and dedicated to the continued development of student talent in that area.
"This was a once-in-a-lifetime event. We're really thankful to alumnus Jon Knipe [senior vice president and general counsel] of Silverstein Properties and to Larry Silverstein himself for helping make this such a memorable evening."
The event, organized by the Penn State Institute for Real Estate Studies and hosted by Silverstein Properties, was held at 7 World Trade in Manhattan and featured a keynote address from iconic real estate developer Larry A. Silverstein.
"This was a once-in-a-lifetime event," said Brent Ambrose, Smeal Professor of Risk Management and the director of the Institute for Real Estate Studies. "We're really thankful to alumnus Jon Knipe [senior vice president and general counsel] of Silverstein Properties and to Larry Silverstein himself for helping make this such a memorable evening."
More than 60 people attended the invite-only event, including Penn State President Rodney Erickson, select members of the Smeal College of Business faculty and administration, and alumni working in real estate and finance.
"Not only did we bring some very active alumni in real estate and finance together, and hopefully they made some great connections," said Charles H. Whiteman, dean of Smeal, "but we were also able to celebrate two generous gifts to the Institute for Real Estate Studies that will be helpful growing its programs."
Smeal Director of Development Todd Sloan added, "There is a natural interface between finance and real estate, so we wanted to provide an exclusive networking opportunity, bringing together Penn Staters in both sectors."
Before the evening's event, members of the Real Estate Advisory Board were given a hard-hat tour of the construction and development at 4 World Trade and held a round table discussion on real estate market trends.

Crab Creek Review Reading at Eagle Harbor Books
CCR Staff and Readers with We Are The Reason Our Ancestors Existed (linocut/collage featured on our F/W '09 cover) at Eagle Harbor Books.
Here's all of us after the Crab Creek Review reading on Sunday, April 19th.
Left to Right: Jenifer Browne Lawrence, Ronda Broatch, Annette Spaulding-Convy, Kelli Russell Agodon, Marilyn Liden Bode, Nancy Pagh, Lana Hechtman Ayers, Carol Levin, Susan Rich, and Jennifer Culkin.
It was an incredible reading. The bookstore was packed and the audience was completely engaged in the poems. I love readings where that happen, when you know that everyone is completely present in the moment.
Afterwards in honor of two halibut poems (with the migrating eye) that were read, I had the halibut for dinner at Cafe Nola. Delicious! Good poetry, good conversation, good friends.

Grantee: Erie County Soil & Water Conservation District Basin Program Funds: $15,000 Non-federal Funds: $6,061 Project Duration: 07/2003 - 11/2004 Status: complete
Problem Statement Approximately 300 feet of streambank at the outside bend of a meander on Cazenovia Creek is severely eroding. This erosion is occurring at the downstream end of Erie and Wyoming County Joint Board project site 27 - L. A large gravel bar has accumulated on the opposite bank that directs water towards the eroding bank.
Background The Erie and Wyoming County Joint Board annually inspect and maintain 57 miles of streambank in the Buffalo Creek Watershed. The Erie and Wyoming Counties Joint Watershed Board of Directors was named the local sponsor for the Buffalo Creek Watershed Protection Project under the authority of the Flood Control Act of 1944. The demonstration projects involved construction of over 300 streambank stabilization projects on 57 miles of streambank in the Buffalo Creek Watershed - including Buffalo Creek, Cayuga Creek and Cazenovia Creek. The result was a 25% reduction in dredging costs in the Buffalo Harbor. All projects were completed in the early 1960s and many are in need of serious repair. The annual appropriation to inspect and maintain these sites is approximately $10,000. The annual maintenance costs were estimated in the late 1950s as $15,000 and today would exceed $100,000 in construction costs alone. To economize, bioengineering techniques are utilized including stream barbs, weirs and plantings to rehabilitate the maximum amount of streambank.
Cazenovia Creek has a drainage area of 135 square miles and joins the Buffalo River within the designated Area of Concern (AOC) identified in the Lake Erie Management Plan. The Buffalo River joins Lake Erie near the mouth of the Niagara River. The Buffalo River Remedial Action Plan strategy has been developed with goals of remediation of bottom sediments, continue on-going programs to manage nonpoint source pollution and to improve fish and wildlife habitat. The Lake Erie Management Plan acknowledges that sediment is impairing 5 of 14 beneficial uses of the stream including restrictions on fish and wildlife consumption and dredging activities. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation 1996 Priority Water bodies List (segment ID 0103-0009) designates the West Branch of Cazenovia Creek as a class B stream with a primary use in fish propagation which is stressed by sediments from streambank erosion. Cazenovia Creek is also listed as a high priority stream in the Erie County Water Quality Coordinating Committees Water Quality Strategy.
Activities The project design, drawings, and construction specifications were completed by Erie County Soil and Water Conservation District personnel and approved by USDA-NRCS. A site showing was held for qualified contractors and the project was let to the lowest bidder. Construction took place and district staff was present for inspection. Heavy construction included repair to 120 feet of rock from the original joint board project, installation of root wads, and reshaping of the channel. An as-built survey was conducted and the project site was evaluated. Plant materials were installed above the rock and root wads to complete the project. The site will be monitored annually by district staff.
The project will result in improved fish and wildlife habitat and sediment reduction while improving stream aesthetics. Several objectives of the Buffalo River Remedial Action Plan will be met, including: remediation of bottom sediments, improvement of stream water quality, remediation of nonpoint source pollution and restoration of fish and wildlife habitat. The implementation of this project will facilitate design of another scheduled project, Joint Board 28R, that is immediately downstream.
Results The project involved shaping a new channel by moving a large (1000 cubic yard) gravel bar onto the eroded left bank. The stream thalweg was relocated at the new toe (approximately 50 feet south) over a distance of 300 linear feet. The side slopes were planted with live fascines and live stakes of streamco willows and/or red osier dogwoods. The top portions of the bank were planted with a rye/fescue seed mix which will serve as a filter to the stream. This design will concentrate the stream and ice stresses at the toe of bank as proven by NRCS Technical Note 26 Tractive Stress Stability and Design.

Any thoughts on what these are? We have tons of rasberries growing, some around these berry's too. We also have blackberries growing but they are still green and on the other side of the yard. My first thought was that they were a blackberry, but if you look at the stem, it has the stem/top of a rasberry but what looks to be the body of a blackberry. We just recently moved into this house and have been loving the rasberries but I am confused on this berry. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, technically, it's neither a raspberry nor a blackberry, it is one of the various species of dewberries found in N. America. By convention as much as anything, I think people have adopted the term dewberry for the prostrate, vining plants, smaller in stature than blackberries. Some can be very thorny, some not so thorny. Most people consider them a weed, because they can spread pretty aggressively. Functionally, the fruit is a blackberry, same basic flavor. They are small, but do make good preserves, etc. You can get somewhat better fruit size out of them by fertilizing and watering during the growing season, but yield will always be pretty low on a square foot basis as compared to cultivated and improved strains of blackberries. |

The fruit above does not look anything like western native dewberries. What region do you live in, ehooper? Your plants could also be some seedling berry plant that started growing many years ago, sprouted from one of the nearby berry plants. |

I've been reading your blog for mattress education and learned a lot of important information about mattress shopping. Your blog is truely a treasure.
I'm about to make a purchase soon then I read from another forum stories that many who bought the same model from one online retailer (us-mattress.com) complained about inferior material and craftmanship when compared with the same model bought locally.
I didn't know that's a general case. I'm under the impression that the same model(maybe under different name) would be macufactured the same way, no matter who the retailers are, online or local. I would like to think that's just some random cases but many forums participants reported similar issues.
I'd like to hear the true expert's insights on this, if possible.
Thanks again for your great blog!
In this, there isn't much difference. That is to say, you could just as easily run into the same problem at a store as on-line. Many of your local stores are, or have, come under the gun for "Bait & Switch" practices. The reputation of the on-line retailer is an individual thing...as with your local stores....some good, some bad. Call the BBB or your state's Attorney General's office to check up on any store you plan on doing business with. We enjoy an A rating...and we have regular stores too.

Northeast Mississippi Community College's all-time leader in football coaching victories is calling one last audible.
Former Northeast athletic director and football coach W.B. 'Bill' Ward wants to pull together a reunion during Homecoming 2011 that includes all of the football teams from 1968-1982.
For 15 years, Northeast's football program was under Ward's direction and the former Tiger football coach posted a 56-92-3 record during that time and became the Tigers all-time leader in football coaching victories.
During Ward's tenure, Northeast captured a North Division title and a pair of runner-up finishes in the division.
Northeast posted a 9-2 mark during the 1980 season en route to a perfect 6-0 run through the North and culminated with a meeting with Jones County Junior College.
In 1977, Northeast finished second in the division after the Tigers posted a 6-4 record on the gridiron and a 4-2 mark in the division.
In 1979, Northeast set the stage for the 1980 squad with a 6-5 mark and a 5-1 showing in the North Division where the Tigers only league loss came via a 17-10 decision to Itawamba Community College.
After taking an 11-year hiatus following a 10-1 Horace McCool season, Ward resurrected the program in 1968 and led the Tigers to a 4-5 record their first year back which included wins over Northwest (41-22) and Itawamba (48-14).
It was the Tigers' second year back in the football business that Northeast made its impact on the Mississippi junior college ranks reeling off a 7-2 season that included a win over Perkinston (Mississippi Gulf Coast) in the final game of the year.
Ward has been the only football coach during the program's 51-year history to break the 50-win plateau and leads in all three of the coaching categories – wins, losses and ties – during his 151 games on the Tiger sidelines as head coach.
Ward's three ties knots him with Hubert Tucker and Doug Hamley for number of square games.
Ward's 1981 squad can also claim to still hold the record for most points scored in a game when the Tigers were able to put up 55 points against Coahoma in a 55-18 showing.
In 1983, Ward handed the reins of the club over to David Carnell after winning his final two games as head football coach – a 24-14 showing against Southwest and a 35-0 shutout against Mississippi Delta.
Organizers of the reunion are encouraging former Northeast football players between the years of 1968-82 to update their information with the Northeast Alumni Office.
For more information about the reunion or to update alumni information, contact Barbara Shackelford in the Northeast Alumni Office at 1-800-555-2154 ext. 4089 or at 662-720-4089 or by email at email@example.com.

Hi all, I have a one story ranch with a fireplace in my den. The backside of the fireplace and chimney are outside and run up the exterior back wall. Right where the backside lies is where my outside seating area and patio is, so here's my plan:
Cut a hole into the backside of the fireplace to make it a two sided fireplace, one outside and one inside. I would install steel doors on the outside for when it's not in use and winter. My questions: Are there any structural problems with cutting hole into the fireplace? Is a header needed? I'm very knowledgeable in construction, just never really did much masonry work. Thanks for any replies. |

I would pose your question in the forum in hearth.com. They have people there who love to tackle questions like yours. You might also go to csia.org for a listing of chimney experts who might help. Good luck. |
There are lots of problems with what you are trying to do. Yes you would need to put a header or lintel above the opening which is very difficult to do. You will also have to remove the throat damper which may be supporting the front of the fireplace. And you would have to make airtight doors for both sides of the fireplace and only open one side at a time. However you must have one side open when ever you are burning or you will have created an oversize masonry stove which can over heat the combustibles next to the chimney and result in a late night visit from the guys with the big red trucks. I wouldn't recommend that project. |

SCS Global Services
SCS Global Services, Emeryville, Calif., offers a program to certify foods as antioxidant superfoods.
Not all foods contain enough antioxidants to be considered superfoods, marketing specialist Chip Wood said.
Grower management, variety selection and the environment also can affect antioxidant levels in produce.
To qualify, an item must supply at least 20% of the recommended daily intake of at least one antioxidant and meet or exceed average levels reported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture or comparable research.
More than 50 varieties of herbs, fruits and vegetables are likely to qualify.
The program involves sampling and testing following USDA-approved protocols to ensure the items deliver as advertised, Wood said.
New flavors, pack sizes, labeling and packaging are in the works for fresh-cut fruits in 2013 from Sundia Corp., Hudson, N.J.
Vice president of sales Mark Sherburne said he was using the show floor as a sounding board for some possible designs but that no decisions had been made as of late October about how the final versions would look.
He said he does know for sure that three new label options are on the way in 2013, as well as some new flavor combinations, but he declined to reveal specifics.

The red, yellow and white onions are grown by Wahluke and peeled and packed by Columbia Onion, a sister company also in Mattawa.

Vickroy: Oak Lawn fishing team lured by sport's challenge
By Donna Vickroy firstname.lastname@example.com Twitter: @dvickroy October 7, 2013 9:10PM
Article Extras
Updated: November 9, 2013 6:08AM
Freshman Jonathon Osipczuk chose to make pure white Senko worms. Chris Widlacki, a junior, selected a dark green goop to pour into the handmade molds. And sophomore Dean Kruk dropped in a heavy sinking additive to his bait concoction.
When members of the Oak Lawn High School fishing team met to make lures last week, the workshop had all the fun of a Mattel Creepy Crawlers machine, all the seriousness of a chemistry lab and all the promise of big catches to come.
Rhett Wheeler, owner of Convincing Custom Lures in Orland Park, brought clay for molding, goops for pouring and even a microwave for melting to Coach Chris Kuchyt's classroom for the after-school demonstration.
As he helped students select their customized lures and then make them, Wheeler explained why a handmade lure is not only fun to make, it can be the difference between heading to shore with an impressive catch or pulling in empty handed.
And with the school-sponsored Rayjus Outdoors Bass Tournament coming up this weekend, the students took their selection of dyes, rattles and scents seriously.
"Personally, I believe it's the action, how the lure moves in the water, that makes the difference," Wheeler said.
In addition, Kuchyt said, lure choice should be based on the fish you're trying to catch as well as the depth and clarity of the water.
Lure selection is one of the many fishing-related topics addressed throughout the school year. In addition to tournaments, the 20 to 30 members of the Spartan Fishing Team attend workshops, outdoor shows and assorted competitions, including one that tests casting skills.
Kuchyt said there are outings at least once a month during the school year and competitions over the holidays and even in summer. In addition, the members write articles for a monthly newsletter.
In addition to casting and netting, the club gets kids reading, writing, learning about biology and, as with this day's event, working with chemistry.
Hubert Wasilewski, a junior, said he joined the team, which is open to everyone, because catching a fish makes him "feel like a little kid."
Lauren Cappo, a senior, has been fishing since she was 2.
"It's a sport that anyone can anyone join and have fun with," she said.
John Metelski and John Neubauer are among the top anglers on the team.
"It takes a lot of practice," said Neubauer, a junior whose family owns a lake house in Decatur, Mich., and who has been fishing since he was 3 or 4.
His job during competition is to get as many fish into the boat as possible but also to mentor the team's newcomers.
Metelski was last year's Most Valuable Player. He said anglers prepare for big tournaments, like this Saturday's at the Des Plaines Conservation area near Wilmington, by scouting locations ahead of time, checking weather forecasts and making sure that their equipment is up to date.
Andrew Jensen, a junior, said it's also important to monitor barometric pressure because "that affects whether fish will eat a lot or not that day."
About 44 boats from schools across the Chicago area are expected to compete for trophies in the largemouth/smallmouth bass tournament. Participating Southland schools include Lemont, St. Laurence in Burbank, Sandburg in Orland Park and Brother Rice in Chicago.
Kuchyt, who has been the Spartans coach since the Illinois High School Association designated fishing as a sport in 2009, said the team's purpose goes well beyond the catch of the day.
"It's promoting stewardship for the outdoors," he said. "These kids understand the importance of catch and release. If everybody kept every fish they caught, there would be no fish left."
He said the team discusses stocking efforts and funding needs for outdoor preservation.
"It's so good to get kids out of this concrete jungle and into the outdoors," he said. "It gives them an appreciation for what our country has to offer."
And a fishing team or club attracts teens who might otherwise be without an extracurricular activity to enhance their high school years. Not only does the team give nature-loving kids an opportunity to compete, it gives them a circle of friends.
As the students took turns donning safety glasses and aprons, Wheeler went over the various options for "doctoring up" their bait. Adding a dash of tungsten makes the lure dive head first. Salt makes it sink faster. And a splash of garlic or coffee scent can be a real draw to a fish that doesn't care for the smell of plastic.
An Oak Lawn High School alum, Wheeler said he got "all artsy/craftsy" after he was unable to find exactly what he wanted at bait and tackle shops.
"I figured out I could make them myself," he said, and started his business in January.
Wheeler also has developed relationships with many bait and tackle suppliers. Illumalite donated all of the materials that he used in the day's workshop.

text: While there were numerous reports of funnel clouds and reports of a tornado on the ground in Webster County and Hopkins County during Wednesday night's severe thunderstorms that rumbled across the region, the National Weather Service is saying damage in the area was caused by straight line winds. According to information from the Storm Assessment Team with the National Weather Service Office in Paducah, the damage surveyed in southern Webster County, Hopkins County, and Christian County was caused by straight line winds, with a peak speed of 85 miles per hour. The Assessment team began their survey in the area near Earlington and Nebo, and surveyed south to Pilot Rock Road in Christian County.
