Bubba Ludwig holds a football steady during a flag football game. | Howard A. Ludwig~For Sun-Times Media
Updated: November 15, 2012 6:17AM
The start of the school year has meant an end to family meals. School is not to blame (the final bell rings at 2:30 p.m.). It's all of the after-school activities that have kept the Ludwig family from the dinner table.
Soccer and flag football are my two obstacles. For others, piano lessons, homework, tutors, dance classes and other interests get in the way. The result is staggered mealtimes to accommodate everyone's schedule. Or worse, frequent trips through the drive-through.
I lamented the loss of family mealtime with Miriam Weinstein last week. The author of "The Surprising Power of Family Meals" offered several tips for keeping the mealtime tradition alive, along with a dose of reality.
"It's good that you are asking these questions," Weinstein said. "Because it is only going to get worse."
Indeed, my 6-year-old son is playing flag football for the first time this year. Bubba is in his second year of soccer. On busy weeks, these two activities consume four of the five weekday evenings. And Peter hasn't even started playing sports.
But wait a minute. I coach Bubba's soccer team, and I'm on the sideline for every flag football game. So, aren't these extracurricular activities also family functions? It's not like I'm watching football on TV, while The Wife shops online in another room and the boys are hiding away playing video games and texting.
Bouncing from activity to activity isn't necessarily bad, but time spent on the soccer field or en route in the family minivan is different than time spent around the dinner table, Weinstein said.
Conversations tend to be more fluid and relaxed at mealtime. Such discussions offer parents subtle opportunities to instill values. For example, children might share an event from earlier in the day. The reaction of the parents offers clues about how children should react or behave.
Dinner discussions as mundane as what's on tap for the weekend offer quiet lessons. As parents discuss the pros and cons of each event, children absorb the information, Weinstein said. For example, attending grandpa's birthday party may or may not be as important as a free ticket to the Bears game.
"I am amazed at what a high percentage of people (adults) I talk to say how important those family meals were," Weinstein said.
She also cited an annual survey conducted by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University. The surprising findings pointed to family meals as a common thread among successful teens. Family meals played a greater role than good grades, household income or regular church attendance as it relates to teen pregnancy and drug use, Weinstein said.
For busy families, Weinstein recommended postgame hot chocolate or dessert as an alternative to family meals. Having a big Sunday morning breakfast can also fill in for missed meals. It's the consistency of coming together as a family that's important, she said.
Weinstein further recommended that parents look at the time commitment required of after-school activities prior to enrollment. It's OK to scale back or opt out of such activities if you think family life will be adversely affected.
"There's a lot of pressure to sign your kids up for a lot of these things," Weinstein said. "But children are more likely to grow up and raise a family than they are to become a professional athlete."

text: Pregnancy > Pregnancy Problems Sciatica During Pregnancy Here's the scoop on what causes sciatic nerve pain during pregnancy (you know, that nagging pain in your back -- and maybe even down your leg) and how to deal. What is sciatica during pregnancy?It's a nasty shooting pain down the back of your leg. It's caused by the compression of the sciatic nerve, a nerve that runs from the lower back (you guessed it!) down the back of each leg.Sciatica is most common in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, when your growing baby puts pressure on the sciatic nerve. What are the signs of sciatica during pregnancy?You'll know this is different from other back pain or leg pain because it will feel sharp and shooting and run down your leg or from your butt to your leg. Are there any tests for sciatica during pregnancy?Sciatica during pregnancy is usually diagnosed based on your symptoms. How common is sciatica during pregnancy?It's very common. Most pregnant women experience at least one episode of sciatic pain. How did I get sciatica during pregnancy?You didn't do anything to "get sciatica," except get pregnant -- and grow baby! How will sciatica affect my baby?It won't. Your baby will be just fine (see next page for treatments). What's the best way to treat sciatica during pregnancy?A pregnancy girdle might sound uncomfortable, but it actually lifts your uterus a little bit and distributes the weight more evenly -- and that could ease your sciatica. Taking an anti-inflammatory, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), can help, too. So can getting off your feet and lying on the side of your body that doesn't hurt. Some women find that heat or cold helps, so feel free to apply heating pads (but don't go uncomfortably hot!) or cool compresses to the area to see what works best for you.You might also want to consider seeing a chiropractor. "I think chiropractic can help a lot," says Michelle Collins, CNM, an assistant professor of nurse-midwifery at Vanderbilt University. -- Jennifer L.W. Fink Next Page >> Page 1 of 2

Churchgoers remember fallen firefighter
By Casey Toner email@example.com November 4, 2012 6:48PM

Updated: December 6, 2012 6:19AM
Churchgoers at St. Cajetan Parish in Chicago's Morgan Park community mourned Chicago Fire Department Capt. Herbie Johnson on Sunday, remembering him as a man who rallied the troops for the church.
Johnson, 54, died Friday from injuries suffered while battling a house fire at 2315 W. 50th Place, becoming the first Chicago firefighter to die in the line of duty since 2010. He was a lifelong parishioner at the parish, located at 2445 West 112th St., Chicago.
During Sunday's 11 a.m. service, parishioners remembered him during the prayers of the faithful. Johnson's brother-in-law attended the ceremony but declined to comment.
Afterward, the Rev. Frank Kurucz said Johnson often used his abundant charisma for the parish's benefit. He coached the elementary school's athletic teams, attended church picnics and fundraisers, and he was a former president of the St. Cajetan Men's Club.
"If you said 'Herbie, we need this, he got it done,' " said Joe Roccasalva, a church deacon and fire department spokesman.
Kurucz said the church has helped the neighborhood heal after Johnson's death.
"We're our own family," Kurucz said. "When we go through crisis, we come together."
John Walsh, 46, attended Sunday's service and was a firefighter with Chicago Fire Department Engine 88. He said Johnson taught him at the fire academy and said that he had a booming laugh.
"I'd be over at his firehouse, and you didn't have to set an alarm," Walsh said. "You could hear his laugh through the door and know it was time to get up."
Trish O'Shea, one of Johnson's neighbors, said she was in shock after hearing he died.
"This is not something that happens to Herbie," O'Shea said. "You expect him to be the first one into a fire and you expect him to be the last one out, too."
A retired Chicago Public Schools teacher, O'Shea used to invite Johnson to talk to her students every year at Dunne Technology Academy and Kate Starr Kellogg Elementary School.
He would always show up and teach the kids about fire prevention and what to do in case of a fire. For the smaller children, he would bring coloring books and show off his bright reflective firefighting gear so they wouldn't be afraid of it in case of an emergency.
"He would make the kids promise to hold a fire drill at night and they almost all did it," O'Shea said.
O'Shea said one of her students who lived in Chicago's Mount Greenwood community had a home fire, and the family managed to escape unscathed due in part to Johnson's instruction.
"When it was over, he wrote Herbie a thank you note that said that 'If you hadn't taught me, my family could have died,' " O'Shea said.
O'Shea said he was a great neighbor, too, and his sense of civic responsibility was unwavering. One time, when a woman suffered a diabetic reaction on her front porch, Johnson showed up before the paramedics arrived and offered her orange juice to raise her blood sugar level.
"Anyone who met him once felt like they knew him," O'Shea said. "He was very friendly and very loud. He had a laugh that could permeate the neighborhood."
McNally's, a bar on Western Avenue that's popular among firefighters, eulogized Johnson with their sign out front.
"We R Speechless," the sign said. "Herbie never was."
Johnson's funeral Mass will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at St. Rita of Cascia High School, 7740 S. Western. Visitation is Wednesday evening at the school, which Johnson and his children attended.

If you're like most people, you probably think a skylight is just a way to add natural light to a room in your house. And it's true that a skylight will do that, but it does so much more as well.
First and most obvious is that a roof skylight can be an energy saver. Of course you won't need to have your electric lights on during a sunny day, and some skylights are double paned meaning they act similar to storm windows, adding insulation to cut down on your energy bills. And yes, it will add value to your home should you decide to sell it.
But it gets even better. Are you aware of the many benefits of natural light in your home? Studies have show that natural light enhances learning in schools. It also elevates your mood which makes you feel better. It regulates your body's sleep pattern. And having a skylight can even aid in the production of important vitamins including vitamin D.
You can get skylights that are made of glass, or of more advanced and durable materials such as plastics or acrylic. These are great for areas where hurricanes or hail are prevelant. Polycarbonate skylights are 200 times more durable than glass. Skylights can be tinted to allow in as much light as you want and filter out the rest. They can be domed, flat, round or whatever works best on your roof. Some can be opened and closed depending on the weather, either manually or better still by remote control.
Installing skylight fixtures is not that difficult for an experienced do it yourselfer, although for some people it's best to leave it to the professionals, whether you are adding a new one or getting a replacement skylight. You can get them for your home, office or even get an RV skylight and be amazed at how it will open up an area that normally seems very cramped. If you have one that's damaged, it's simple to find a replacement skylight.
Don't overlook this simple home improvement and all the benefits adding a skylight can provide.

I'm looking for a floppy lying down cream lamb, or it might have been beige colored. The face and hooves were almost the same color, maybe a bit darker. It was about the size of a forearm, counting your hand. And I know for sure it was a Walmart Easter toy sold between 1996 and 2005, but I don't remember the exact year.
I think it had hard eyes, and it did have a big translucent blue ribbon tied in a bow that had more opaque stripes going along the ribbon. The hooves MAY have been filled with beads, but I'm not sure. But it WAS a very SOFT lamb. Here is the link to one that is SIMILAR, but not the same, in case that helps any.
It was my FAVORITE toy growing up, and I believe it was accidentally donated. It was so flattened they must have thrown it away. I have been looking for one like it for years. All these newer toys are just not the same as that favorite toy.
Being in a Christian sorority with a Lamb as a symbol, I feel even more pressed to find it. If it weren't for my favorite stuffed toy being a lamb, I never would have looked at their table and found my sisters. Ever since I've joined, not having my little sheep has made me even sadder. I've gotten new stuffed sheep, but it's not the same – they aren't floppy or cream colored or anything Baabaa was.

Tazo was created for one purpose: to reinvent tea and the tea experience. By using high quality ingredients and a tremendous amount of experience and creativity, Tazo has produced unique products that create an emotional connection with the consumer at many levels. Tazo continues to expose consumers to the ancient traditions of tea, but presents this in a way that is bold, interesting and intriguing.
Unlike other tea companies, Tazo purchases teas in their original container as packed at the garden to ensure the tea inside the chest or bag stays garden fresh and is not exposed to the heat and moisture in a blending facility at one of the tea shipping points.
The blending process is a very subtle art form that relies on subjective measurement of taste, color and aroma. Tazo constantly taste and determine which teas will go in which blend in what percentage, so flavor profiles remain consistent and of the highest quality possible.
The name Tazo has roots in many civilizations. Tazo actually means "river of life" in the Romany Gypsy language and was used as a toast to life by ancient Greeks. Tazo also means "fresh" in several Hindi dialects. In ancient Babylonia, Tazo was a rejuvenating elixir thought to have magical properties.
Tazo is kosher certified by KSA.

Hamilton's Kylie Miniefield called it being in the right spot at the right time. Teammate Meaghan Pasbing called it a great hustle play.
Whatever the case, her play resulted in the only score of the night as Hamilton beat Pinnacle, 1-0, in a Division 1 soccer state semifinal Thursday at Campo Verde High School.
The top-seeded Huskies, who won last year's 5A Division I state title, will meet No. 3 seed Highland on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. for the Division I championship at Campo Verde H.S.
The fourth-seeded Pioneers, last year's Class 5A Division II state champs but playing without standout forward Jorian Baucom (U.S. U15 national team in Florida), finished the season 13-2.
"We haven't played our best game, but we're still playing soccer," Hamilton coach Mark Eggleston said.
Miniefield scored off a rebound shot by Emily Ravenhill at the 19:08 mark of the first half. Ravenhill, who beat a pair of Pinnacle players to a loose ball on the left sideline, got off a shot through traffic that eluded Pioneers goalkeeper Jennifer Stuart and bounced off the far post. Miniefield was there waiting and tapped the ball into the open net.
"I just happened to be there," said Minifield, who is one of four freshman contributors for the Huskies. "It sure felt good to put into the net."
The score held up both teams had scoring opportunities in the second half. Hamilton goalkeeper Laura Glew finished with seven saves.
"We've been playing with a lot of pressure," midfielder Meaghan Pasbing said. "We've had that target on our back. It feels great that we made it. Just one more game to go."
Pasbing had a pair of quality shots on goal in a two-minute span of the second half. One attempt sailed just over the crossbar and the other directly into the arms of Pinnacle freshman goalkeeper Jalen Thompson, who took over in the second half.
Thompson proved more than up to the task in the second half, turning away six shots.
"We were thinking it might be a little bit of an advantage but it turned out to be the opposite," Eggleston said of the goalie switch. "It definitely helped them out a lot.
"What can you say? That kid did an amazing job."
The Huskies were able to use their speed on the edge to get their scoring opportunities in the second half.
"That's been our forte all year. We feel we are a fast team and we possess really well," Eggleston said. "We feel if we play that way over the course of a game we will eventually wear a team down."
The Pioneers also had their share of scoring chances early in the second half, but in the final 10 minutes of play, they rarely got the ball past midfield and had just one decent scoring chance.
"We wanted to play our game without panicking," said Pasbing, who also feels the key to winning on Saturday is easy.
"Whoever works harder," she said. "That's all it comes down to."

Thanks for your review of 'The After Life' - yes it was fictional.
It was the first short story I had written in about 30 years, and my first posting here on the street. I appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback.

Hi Gary,
Your review of The Flower Woman has absolutely made my day. I haven't read any Elmore Leonard, but I'll be looking him up based on your recommendation. You're right that second "She would" isn't needed. Thanks again.
Take care - Mike

Today human greed is making number of these forests and animals extinct from the world and therefore it become the duty of every individual to come forward for saving our forest treasures. There are number of beautiful animals in our forests which are very near to extinction and need our immediate attentions.

Product Description
Meet Erica Coleman: a gifted and quirky private investigator with a penchant for sleuthing and a passion for chocolate.
Erica imagined that her trip to Florida would be a slice of heaven—a chance to get away from it all and catch up with her best friend, Wendy. But a mere day into her idyllic vacation, all hope of fun in the sun is dashed with a shocking discovery: the body of an unknown man on the driveway. A failed second homicide attempt hits even closer to home when Wendy's fiancé barely survives poisoning. There's no way to sugarcoat it—a murderer is on the prowl, and no one is above suspicion.
Unsettled by the proximity of foul play, Wendy asks Erica to investigate. Erica is convinced that the near double-murder was no coincidence, so she accepts her friend's request—with her skill, solving the mystery should be a piece of cake. But as she sifts through mounting evidence, one thing becomes clear: everyone had a reason for wanting both men dead. And as the plot thickens, it appears that Erica may have bitten off more than she can chew . . .

About the Author
It was impossible to relax. Groaning, he swung his legs over the side of the bed before checking his watch for the third time in twenty minutes. He still had a few minutes. Perhaps he ought to call his wife. No, she was too perceptive. Might start asking questions. He'd call later—when it was over.
He paced the floor. Grabbing the remote, he idly flipped through the channels then went through them again—and again. Another check of his watch, and it was time to go. The blinds were already closed, but he turned a table lamp on. It was dusk and he hated coming back to a dark motel room. Digging into a pocket, his fingers touched a cool, hard surface. He fingered the switchblade to reassure himself then pulled out his wallet, making sure his key and the paper he'd tucked in earlier were still there.
Avoiding the front desk clerk, he went out the back way. It felt good to get the stale air out of his lungs. He hated cheap motels. Perhaps after tonight, he wouldn't have to deal with them anymore. If everything went as planned, that is.
He zipped his jacket against the rain that had begun to fall. He could have taken a cab, but doing so might lead to problems. No, walking was the way to go. He'd chosen a motel that was close by so he set off briskly on foot. Although his hopes were high, his brow was furrowed.
If anyone had been paying attention, they would have seen an older man of medium height with a face not unlike that of a rat. His nose was pointed and his eyes were dark and beady. The heels on his shoes were worn down and his pants faded, the hems frayed.
Having memorized the directions he'd been given, he turned the corner at a preschool. Traffic was light, but he averted his face when anyone drove by. He was getting close. Turning right on Carroll Street, he went down the west sidewalk until he reached 2612. That was it all right. Unkempt shrubbery, tall trees, and a sparse lawn surrounded a dilapidated house with a bright blue door. Swallowing hard, he took a deep breath. It was important not to show that he was anxious or tense. Surely everything would turn out as planned.
He glanced up and down the rain-dampened street. There were a number of cars parked, but there was no one in sight. He crossed the road and was momentarily thrown off when he saw a sign directing him to the side door. He headed in that direction and ten yards away felt an odd sensation—an impact—like someone had poked him hard in the back with a broom handle. Knocked off balance, he tried to turn to see what had hit him but found himself falling forward. Putting out his arms to break his fall, he was aware of pain that was quickly swallowed up by a profound blackness.

The plot was good but the references to the main character's beauty were way overkill.

by Kelly - reviewed on August 04, 2013
I loved this book. Motive for Murder has a cast of interesting characters, especially Erica, who I thought was hilarious. The book is well written and hard to put down once I started. It has just the right amount of intrigue. It's also clean, with no profanity and wholesome values) Good story line, exciting. Great characters, twists and an ending that will surprise you.

How to Find Health Information You Can Trust
Finding health information on the Internet is easy. Telling the good from the bad can be hard. When you visit a site that claims it provides "expert" health information, check it for some clues: Who runs the site? This is a major clue when you find a site on your health topic. Start with sites run by the government or known national health organizations.
What is the purpose of the site? You want to find health information that is unbiased. Some sites will present information that looks good even when it's not. Avoid sites that try to sell you something. For example, information on a drug from the company that makes it would have more of a bias than a neutral site. Can you tell if the information is actually an ad? Some sites look valid, but are really ads. Check to see who sponsors the site. They may have influence on the health information being presented. How can you tell if the information is reliable? You may not be a health expert, but look for clues to find out if the information is credible. Does the site state where the information comes from? Was it written by experts? Does it list the authors and their credentials? Does the site include an editorial board or review process? How long ago was the site updated? These clues will help you decide whether you can trust the health on a particular website. For additional information on this topic, visit the links on our Evaluating Health on The Web page. To get started, we suggest you visit our list of Reliable Health Web Sites . |

Rhythms of the Heart: The Illustration of Ashley Bryan
Ashley Bryan, jacket art from Sing to the Sun: Poems and Pictures, 1992, (HarperCollins, 1995), watercolor on paper, Courtesy of the artist, © 2011 Ashley Bryan

Use the navigation below to check out map flythroughs and overviews for each and every map released for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, including future DLC updates!
Hijacked takes place on 'luxurious super yacht', with some incredibly tight combat and not too many opportunities for long range gunplay. With that being said, there are long range sightlines but they are definitely in the minority here.
As Crazy Penguin discusses in the video above, Hijacked is a very small map and the combat on it will be fast moving and non-stop. Expect nearly constant engagements as it takes just a few seconds at most to make it from your spawn point to the center of the firefight, regardless of where you spawn on the map. The size can be deceiving if you look at the overhead map below, as there are actually multiple stories and routes that bring verticality into play.
Be wary of the second tier balconies as players have already discovered that you can throw down a claymore or bouncing betty and stay up there for a while, picking players off on the decks below. The area is pretty open, so if someone is giving you hell from up there, you can sit back from a distance and most likely take them down.
As far as routes, the map is laid out in a pretty straightforward way with a path on either side of the two main cabins, as well as routes straight up the middle.
Hijacked favors assault rifles, submachine guns and shotguns and won't be kind to sniper rifles or light machine guns.

Instead, most folks will open a port on their firewall and direct it to one or more front-end servers inside the network.

Before calling Connecticut home, she was reporting just over the border in Rhode Island at ABC6. Since then, she's covered everything from the Boston Marathon bombings to the Blizzard of 2013 to the arrest of Aaron Hernandez.
When Abbey isn't chasing breaking news, she loves getting the chance to tell inspiring stories. One of the memorable moments was watching a 12 year old paralyzed gymnast stand up for the first time, after suffering from a mysterious illness. Abbey will also never forget sitting down with Kaitlin Roig-DeBellis, a Sandy Hook teacher now on a mission to spread kindness to children across the globe.
Abbey is no stranger to New England, having attended Emerson College in Boston. When she's not reporting, you can find her checking out a new restaurant or looking for the best yoga class in town.

..copy that!I say we drop the dollar and make ammo the new currency. I could retire. lol
This is a discussion on Let's See Your Reloading Bench within the Reloading forums, part of the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics category; I say we drop the dollar and make ammo the new currency. I could retire. lol ..copy that!...
..copy that!I say we drop the dollar and make ammo the new currency. I could retire. lol
This picture was taken 2 or 3 years ago and I am proud to say it looks much the same today. I am in the process of installing another bench along the other wall that won't be quite as deep so hopefully it will not collect stuff.
You guys with neat and tidy benches aint right.
I just got back into it now after years of being away from it for a long time...
Here's mine.
Grasseater // Grass~eat~er noun, often attributive \ˈgras-ē-tər\
A person who is incapable of independent thought; a person who is herd animal-like in behavior; one who cannot distinguish between right and wrong; a foolish person.

Very nice, you could also do the same with a trailer hitch setup.
Beautiful setups. I have not set one up yet but you have inspired me!
I bought a Lyman single stage press years ago but never used it. What manufacture of dies do you recommend for .223 and 30-06? I prefer made in US and will pay more for it.
Let me know if it is inappropriate to ask this in this thread.
Not inappropriate at all; this is a good place to ask.
Virtually all reloading dies for sale in the US are made here. Any of the major brands will do just fine. That said, Lee dies are one of the best values in the reloading field. About half of my dies are Lee with the rest being RCBS and Redding. I load on three presses - an old Lyman Turret, an RCBS RockChucker and a Dillon 550.
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life. - Robert A. Heinlein
My little corner. The press is mounted to a very old VCR stand ( remember when a VCR weighed more than the TV? ) It has wheels, and is very solid. The bench right beside it came from Lowes
( And, of course, when the loading is going on, that bottle of Sam Adams and the ashtray on the bench won't happen! )
Cape Locum Et Fac Vestigium
How do you like that Kobalt workbench for loading?
How has the Kobalt workbench held up for you? Is the bench tall enough to stand while reloading? Did you use the top that it came with or did you replace it with a heavier and sturdier material? I'm looking for a solid core wood entry door to use as the top; I think that would be much more stable.
I'm looking at purchasing one to use as my reloading workbench. I just purchased a used RL 1050 Dillon press with .45 ACP dies and would like to install it on this workbench. I have contraints on the size of the bench I can install due to the space available.
DW CCO (2), CBOB + RZ45, Colt MKIV, CD EFS, P45C/T, BHP MKIII, FM M90, PT99AF, M681-1, 689, P238, MK678II
Still a work in progress.
I'm your Huckleberry.

In uncertain times, growing your food is fashionable again
The era of competitive gardening, with its focus on fabulous flowers and foliage, is being supplanted by a movement to get back to edibles. We're focusing on rhubarb instead of roses now, and along the way making connections with our communities.
How to learn
We have a relatively cool and short growing season in Puget Sound country. These resources can help you deal:
"Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades," 6th edition, by Steve Solomon (Sasquatch Books, $21.95)
"Winter Gardening in the Maritime Northwest: Cool-Season Crops for the Year-Round Gardener," by Binda Colebrook (Sasquatch Books, out of print but available at online outlets)
Western Cascade Fruit Society: www.wcfs.org/
Seattle Tree Fruit Society (includes berries & nuts): www.seattletreefruitsociety.com
Seattle Tilth: Learn, Grow, Eat: 206-633-0451; www.seattletilth.org
King County Master Gardener Foundation Demonstration Gardens:
What thrives right here
Proven varieties for our climate:
'Oregon Spring'
'Gold Nugget'
'Blushed Butter Cos'
'Red Deer Tongue'
'Winter Density'
'Oregon Sugar Pod II'
'Blue Crop'
Where to buy
Successful food gardening starts with varieties developed especially for our local growing conditions:
Nichols Garden Nursery. Albany, OR. 800-422-3985; www.nicholsgardennursery.com
Territorial Seed Co. Cottage Grove, OR. 800-626-0866; www.territorialseed.com
Abundant Life Seeds. Cottage Grove, OR. 541-767-9606; www.abundantlifeseeds.com
Raintree Nursery. Morton, WA. 360-496-6400; www.raintreenursery.com
Cloud Mountain Farm. Everson, WA. 360-966-5859; www.cloudmountainfarm.com.
THE HEADY DAYS of high horticulture, when gardeners would kill for the newest and coolest perennial, are well and truly over. The resurgence of food gardening has ushered in a post-competitive era, where people share seeds and meals, and even welcome landless gardeners into their backyards for a little communal cultivation.
It doesn't really matter whether the food-gardening renaissance is driven by do-it-yourself frugality in a time of economic uncertainties or by concern over food safety and the environment. Its joys are as tangible as the taste of a fresh-picked tomato, as sublime as popping a sun-warmed raspberry into your mouth, as viscerally satisfying as stepping out your back door to pick a dinner you grew from a couple of seed packets. Seemingly overnight, raised beds are the new water features; we're hedging with blueberries and replacing roses with rhubarb.
Edibles are the engine propelling horticulture these days, with a younger generation of gardener in the driver's seat. The National Gardening Association forecast that 40 percent more households would be growing their own vegetables in 2009 than in 2007. Vegetable-seed sales are up by more than 25 percent.
How much money are all these vegetable gardeners actually saving? The gardening association figures that food gardens yield a $500 return on average, considering a typical gardener's investment and the market price of produce. Michelle Obama harvested 740 pounds of food from the White House kitchen garden last fall, at a cost of about $180 worth of seeds and supplies.
It's not that people hadn't preached the gospel of front-yard food gardening long before the Obamas dug up the White House lawn. It seems almost quaint to think that landscape designer Rosalind Creasy's 1981 homage to the front-yard vegetable garden, "The Complete Book of Edible Landscaping," was considered revolutionary at the time. In his 2008 manifesto, "Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn," architect/artist Fritz Haeg argues that we can transform global food production by growing our own vegetables. Food authority Michael Pollan juxtaposes his advocacy of fresh, local food with larger environmental concerns in his best-sellers, "The Omnivore's Dilemma" and "In Defense of Food." Like Obama, Pollan goes beyond theory to dig in the dirt, growing apricots, figs, persimmons, herbs and lettuces in his Berkeley, Calif., garden.
While these national models are useful and encouraging, it turns out that we here in the Pacific Northwest can find quite a lot of inspiration right here in our own backyards.
"SALAD TONIGHT, Turn Right," directs a sign on East Harbor Road at the south end of Whidbey Island. Cars slow down, tempted by the sight of a vast and formal vegetable garden so gorgeous it takes your breath away.
Welcome to The Raven & The Spade, the brainchild of Camille LaTray, who wanted to create a kitchen garden in the manner of the classic French potager. Here, the goal is both practical and aesthetic: To produce beautiful food in a beautiful setting, one that is attuned to the rhythms and rewards of each season.
"We've become disconnected from the source of our food, and I hope to change that," says LaTray of the reason she tore up pastureland and planted the garden just one year ago. To celebrate the connection between garden and kitchen, she now invites customers in to explore the garden and pick what they'd like on their dinner table.
But people visit here to do more than buy produce. While they might stop in to pick up any number of fresh, bright lettuces, they linger to talk recipes, chat with neighbors, watch their kids run through the garden with LaTray's four children. "We have friends who camp out in the garden," says LaTray with a laugh. "Really, they pitched their tent in the bean tunnel."
Shoppers stroll along grassy paths, clippers in hand, in search of eggplant, squash or a head of cauliflower. It's easy to get lost in the sensual pleasures of this 2 ½-acre potager, where fragrant flowers and herbs share space with the vegetables in 12 geometrically shaped beds. Chocolate-colored sunflowers grow up through the pumpkin vines, while zinnias, godetia, calendulas, marigolds, lavender and geraniums brighten the edges of the beds. "Next year we'll have a cutting garden, so people can pick bouquets along with their vegetables," enthuses the ever-energetic LaTray. She admits she works most all the daylight hours in her garden. "This job is from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day," she says happily.
It was only last February that LaTray started digging up the part of her family's 12-acre property adjacent to husband Brad Rice's boatbuilding barn. "We laid out string, got a sod cutter and went to work," explains LaTray of the backbreaking work that kept her and assistant Amy Johnson busy for months. By late spring, the outline of the potager filled the field. By summer she had organic certification and was in business (www.ravenspadefarm.com).
LaTray grows an impressive variety of edibles in soil so rich and loamy it was her inspiration for making a garden in the first place. Peppers, cantaloupe, eggplants and okra thrive in the full sun of this island valley. She grows bush beans, five kinds of pole beans, orange cauliflower and purple carrots to intrigue the kids. Johnson and LaTray recently planted blueberries and an orchard of apricot, peach, plum, cherry, apple and pear trees, which should bear fruit in a couple of years. Youngest daughter Fiona, age 10, is in on the family business, offering organic eggs for sale.
LaTray and her husband are finishing up a lofty greenhouse, constructing it from trusses left over from building their house. She envisions starting tomatoes, growing grapefruit and Meyer lemons under glass. She has plans for a chef to teach cooking classes in the new greenhouse, helping eager shoppers figure out what to do with all that beautiful produce once they get it home.
Is there a single vegetable LaTray doesn't love? "Well, I won't plant as many collard greens this year," she admits. "I can get people to eat just about anything, but not collard greens."
FOR MOST of us, feeding our own family is challenging enough. That's why Shelley Lance's productive little urban Eden in Seattle is so deliciously appealing. One day at a time, she's proving you don't need LaTray's abundant acreage to eat well from a garden.
Lance is at ground zero of the city's food culture. For 25 years, she's worked for restaurant mogul Tom Douglas, first as a pastry chef and now developing recipes, menus and cookbooks. At home, she's recently renovated her garden for a second time. This go-round, she was determined to squeeze herbs, vegetables and fruit in among the flowers and shrubbery.
When Lance and her husband, Frank Shoichet, bought their century-old home near Green Lake a decade ago, the garden was overgrown with junipers and rhododendrons. The couple hired Cameron Scott of Exteriorscapes to thin out the landscape and install some hardscape. Scott rid the garden of invasive perennials and built a supportive screen for the garden's venerable old muscat grapevine. Scott's work made the garden more usable and attractive, but it still lacked space and sun enough to grow vegetables, a real miss for a foodie like Lance. So she invited Scott back for a little more garden renovation.
This time, Scott and Peter Lavagnino of Exteriorscapes faced quite a daunting challenge. The Lance/Shoichet garden is long and narrow, measuring a scant 30 feet wide by 80 feet long. Lance hoped to grow rhubarb, peas, radishes, lettuce, green beans, blueberries, strawberries, lingonberries, huckleberries and a variety of herbs.
Scott and Lavagnino's successful strategy stressed bold design and required a little compromise. Lance parted with lawn, an apple tree and even quite a bit of the lavish grapevine. In return, Scott designed an eye-catching brick circle in the middle of the garden. The handsome little terrace maintains open space and draws the eye; its aged bricks compliment the old house, too. Water bubbles up out of a rugged stone in the center of the circle. "It's like a Starbucks for birds in the morning," says Lance of the fountain.
To make the most of space and sun, edibles are integrated with ornamentals. Lavagnino wove lettuces, berries, herbs and fruit throughout the garden. Now a swathe of edibles runs through the garden in a seemingly random pattern, concentrated in areas where the sun shines brightest.
Lance narrowed her plant palette a bit. "I chose to grow what I most want to eat," she says. Herbs such as oregano and mint that tend toward invasiveness are confined to pots, while more mannerly herbs are allowed to sprawl along the edges of a stone pathway. An espaliered pear tree and dwarf 'Brown Turkey' fig produce luscious fruit in a minimum of space. Strawberries 'Shuksan' and 'Quinault' double as ground cover, and the vivid red berries on the lingonberry bushes (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) are as ornamental as they are delicious.
Lance is happy with the casual, cottage look of her refurbished little garden. "I love really tall flowers," she says, and around the edges of the garden Lavagnino left room for her to grow peonies, lilies, dahlias, delphinium and phlox. But because this garden belongs to a dedicated foodie, statuesque artichokes grow along with the flowers. Tomatoes, peas and beans climb the arbors, and pots are filled with herbs as well as flowers.
WHATEVER THE size, a great benefit of these new gardens lies in the relationship between food and community that LaTray talks about. Other local gardeners have found creative ways to make and celebrate that same vital connection.
Glass artist and vegetable gardener John DeWitt, for instance, adapted the book-group model to gather friends around gardening. He and a dozen or so fellow Whidbey Islanders formed a club to share seeds, food and friendship as well as knowledge.
The group includes a range of professions and gardening experience. From accountants to stone masons, from newbie gardeners to those with greenhouses, lambs and chickens, the voluble bunch gets together every six weeks to tour each other's gardens. The talk might start with microclimate envy and rabbit-proofing, but it ends with sharing tips for drying figs and recipes for sauerkraut and salsa.
"I was naïve to think this would be about gardening," says DeWitt. "The thing about food is that you always end up at the table, sooner or later." Every meeting ends with a potluck dinner where each couple shares a specialty from their garden.
Kathleen Warren found a community of gardeners by a more formal route. She posted on Seattle's Urban Garden Share Web site (www.urbangardenshare.org/), which she describes as "like a dating site, but it works a whole lot better." Ten eager gardeners applied to share Warren's back garden in North Seattle; she chose Alan Byars and Roy Vermillion to help kick-start her neglected garden into productivity. Both men, experienced gardeners frustrated at languishing for more than a year on the wait list for a Seattle P-Patch, jumped in to root out weeds and grass that had taken over Warren's vegetable patch.
The program leaves it to the gardeners to work out the details, and this trio had no problem with division of labor. Vermillion installed drip irrigation, Warren pays for water, all three contributed seeds and work, and all shared the bountiful backyard harvest. Warren hopes both guys come back to garden with her this coming summer. "Sharing garden space is such an elegant and simple solution," concludes Warren, "and a wonderful expression of community."

SWTOR Speeder Guide
Throughout the majority of your adventure in SWTOR, you will mainly be moving around on foot. This can be in the form of walking or sprinting, if you've earned this ability. You can also access transport service lines found on major areas of the planets. However, getting your very own SWTOR speeder is probably the best way to quickly move across the land.
You will only be able to purchase a personal SWTOR speeder when you reach level 25. To access your personal speeder bike, you will need to open the abilities panel and then click on the vehicles tab. Then, you can right-click on the personal speeder button to activate it or to deactivate it. You can also drag and drop the personal speeder button to your Quickbar for more convenient access.
There are some speeders that can only be accessed by either Republic or Empire players and not both. In any case, you'll be able to purchase your very first SWTOR speeder for 8000 credits. For Empire players, you will be able to get this from Captain Tanji of the Imperial Fleet – Vaiken Spacedock in the Galactic Trade Market. You can find this in the 2nd room from the right in the lower level. For Republic players, you will be able to get this from Barik of the Republic Fleet – Carrick Station in the same trade market. You will find this in the center room on the lower level.
Some of the very first SWTOR speeder types that you will encounter are:
Czerka Patroller: This speeder will increase your movement speed by 90% and costs 8000 credits
Rendili Watchman: This speeder will also increase your movement speed by 90% and also costs 8000 credits
In order for you to pilot any vehicle, including the speeder, you must purchase a speeder piloting skill from your Class Trainer. There are 3 rankings and they are:
SWTOR Speeder Guide Ranks
Rank 1 – 40,000 credits
Rank 2 – 210,000 credits
Rank 3 – 330,000 credits
The reason why there are 3 speeder ranks is because there are also 3 corresponding tiers of speeders that you can purchase. As previously mentioned, the 1st tier is level 25 and then this is followed by level 40 and then level 50. Higher levels of speeders give you better protection of being knocked off. However, you must keep in mind that none of the SWTOR speeders will give you any bonus attributes other than increased speed, none of the speeders can protect you from being damaged and you also cannot ride a SWTOR speeder into any spaceport or building.
Having said that, the SWTOR speeder guide is still a very useful item, especially for your legacy characters. Learn more about how to get the other speeders, like the VIP vehicles, with this SWTOR guide here.

Good news travels fast
October 31, 2012 in Uncategorized
After giving the best of my 20's to the company I work for, I've decided to throw in the towel and seek my fortune elsewhere.
We've had a rough year or so which has had a major impact on my personal life (on everyone's lives, really) so I definitely need the change, but I still can't shake the feeling that I'm letting the rest of my team down by jumping ship. I also have an overwhelming sense of loyalty to this company for hiring me as a clueless grad and nurturing my professional growth over the past 5 years. Is that normal?
I definitely would not have made it much longer, and find myself wishing that today was 30 November and next week meant a new job. I'm not sure if I've lost the ability to handle stress or if it's because my priorities are changing, but my motivation disappeared a long time ago and I haven't been able to get it back.
The challenge now lies in powering through the next month, wrapping up, handing over, and making sure my corner is squeaky clean. I must stay positive and make sure I end with a bang.
Cheers to closing a chapter, a new opportunity, and hopefully more free time to spend with family and friends.

Distance Knitting
'A little bit about me'
I'd like to introduce myself; Fiona Morris. I have been knitting, designing and teaching knitting for many years. I started Distance Knitting to give knitters the opportunity to study the City and Guilds 7922 Certificate courses in Hand or Machine Knit Textiles as distance learning packages.
I teach the design and Craft courses at The Mohair Centre, near Lewes, E. Sussex, but for various reasons many interested knitters are unable to attend this course, so I have developed a distance learning version.
I have been teaching all aspects of knitting, both hand and machine for many years and currently write for Knitting magazine. As well as the City and Guilds course I teach a variety of one and two day workshops and am happy to talk to Guilds, groups and clubs about all aspects of knitting. Details of the workshops I offer can be found on the Workshops pages and details of the talks I offer can be found on the Talks page

Looking for Information on How to Clean White Ceramic Watch?
Read on below for a step by step procedure on How to Clean a White Ceramic Watch!
Why Do We Need To Clean White Ceramic Watches
Ceramic Watches are one of the most beautiful accessories that every woman should have. Not only are they beautiful and shiny, they bring about an aura of class when worn and are often worn by celebrities as well. They are strong, durable and scratch resistant which makes them a must buy item.
However, like all watches, these white ceramic watches for women require cleaning from time to time to ensure that they are stain free and shiny. So if you've come here looking for how to clean white ceramic watch, then read on below as I explain a step-by-step procedure to cleaning white ceramic watches.
How to Clean White Ceramic Watch – Items Required
All you need to have with you while cleaning white ceramic watches are:
- 2 Dry Cloths
- 1 Old Soft Toothbrush
- Paste of Baking Soda or Window Cleaner Solution
How to Clean White Ceramic Watch – Step 1
The 1st step required when cleaning a white ceramic watch is to take a soft cloth and gently rub it over the ceramicwatch's band, crown and the back of the watch. This is done to ensure that any loose dust particles that may have collected on the watch are removed properly.
Please remember to use the cloth gently and not roughly else there is a chance of scratch marks appearing on the watch.
How to Clean White Ceramic Watch – Step 2
The next step when it comes to cleaning white ceramic watches is using a non-abrasive cleaner. For this one can use a variety of cleaners ranging from a general window cleaner to baking soda.
All one needs to do is use an old soft toothbrush and then spray the baking soda or window cleaner solution onto the toothbrush. The advantage of using an old soft toothbrush is that the bristles reach into the gaps between the bands and hard-to-reach areas.
Personally I prefer using the baking soda as it leads to a better shine!
How to Clean White Ceramic Watch – Step 3
Now comes the most important part when it comes to learning how to clean white ceramic watch. Once you've sprayed the toothbrush with the cleaning solution, you need to rub it gently all over the watch surface. Make sure to cover the entire band, the space between the bands and the back of the watch.
Try and avoid cleaning the dial. If you feel the need, wipe it with a dry cloth.
How to Clean White Ceramic Watch – Step 4
Finally all you need to do is clean your ceramic watch with a soft dry cloth and make sure all the wet spots are wiped clean.
And that's it. You're done with your white ceramic watch looking all clean and brand new!

Even if you own a white ceramic watch, there's no reason for you not to buy another one. In fact, I own 4 white ceramic watches for women and I'm always on the lookout for some great deals on these white ceramic watches to add to my collection.
I've always bought my white ceramic watches from Amazon because not only do they have the best deals (I've saved thousands of dollars), their service is unmatched and includes free shipping as well.

This card was first included in the Black & White expansion, originating from the Japanese Black Collection.

It was also included in the Next Destinies expansion, originating from the Japanese Hail Blizzard expansion, as an Ultra-Rare Secret card with new artwork by the same artist.

Zoladex 10.8 mg
ZOLADEX® 10.8 mg 3-Month Depot
(goserelin acetate) Implant
ZOLADEX® (goserelin acetate implant), contains a potent synthetic decapeptide analogue of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH), also known as a gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist analogue. Goserelin acetate is chemically described as an acetate salt of [D-Ser(But)6,Azgly10]LHRH. Its chemical structure is pyro-Glu-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-D-Ser(But)-Leu-Arg-Pro-Azgly-NH2 acetate [C59H84N18O14 • (C2H4O2)x where x = 1 to 2.4].
Goserelin acetate is an off-white powder with a molecular weight of 1269 Daltons (free base). It is freely soluble in glacial acetic acid. It is soluble in water, 0.1M hydrochloric acid, 0.1M sodium hydroxide, dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide. Goserelin acetate is practically insoluble in acetone, chloroform and ether.
ZOLADEX 10.8 mg (goserelin acetate implant) implant is supplied as a sterile, biodegradable product containing goserelin acetate equivalent to 10.8 mg of goserelin. ZOLADEX is designed for subcutaneous implantation with continuous release over a 12-week period. Goserelin acetate is dispersed in a matrix of D,L-lactic and glycolic acids copolymer (12.82-14.76 mg/dose) containing less than 2% acetic acid and up to 10% goserelin-related substances and presented as a sterile, white to cream colored 1.5 mm diameter cylinder, preloaded in a special single-use syringe with a 14-gauge x 36 +/- 0.5 mm siliconized needle with protective needle sleeve (SafeSystem™ Syringe) in a sealed, light- and moisture-proof, aluminum foil laminate pouch containing a desiccant capsule.
Studies of the D,L-lactic and glycolic acids copolymer have indicated that it is completely biodegradable and has no demonstrable antigenic potential.
ZOLADEX is also supplied as a sterile, biodegradable product containing goserelin acetate equivalent to 3.6 mg of goserelin designed for administration every 28 days.
What are the possible side effects of goserelin (Zoladex)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Cast: Shriya Saran, Akshaye Khanna, Rajpal Yadav
Director: Rumi Jaffrey
Setting up the sort of premise that's usually treated with a much lighter hand in the popular television sitcom Office Office, the makers of 'Gali Gali Chor Hai' construct a well-intentioned but labored tale of the common man's vulnerability against day-to-day corruption in society.
Akshaye Khanna stars as Bhaarat, a middle-class bank cashier in Bhopal who must pay the price for refusing to allow a local political candidate to set up his campaign office in a spare room in his home. When the cops come calling to inform him that he must reclaim a table fan that was allegedly stolen from his home, Bhaarat finds himself sucked into a whirlpool of bureaucracy and bribes.
There are some laughs to be had as Bhaarat navigates the judicial system by greasing the palms of everyone involved…from the police and the lawyers, to witnesses, and the thief too. All this for a fan that didn't belong to him in the first place. There are some light moments also in his repeated attempts to rid himself of the fan in the film's second half.
A subplot in which Bhaarat plays Hanumaan in the local Ramleela, hoping to be promoted to the role of Lord Ram someday, has a few nice touches. But the same unfortunately can't be said for another lazy subplot in which Bhaarat's wife (Shriya Saran) feels threatened by a sexy paying guest (Mughda Godse) living under their roof.
'Gali Gali Chor Hai' doesn't say much that hasn't been said before, and it doesn't say it interestingly either. Never smart enough to be described as a satire, it fails ultimately because it's dreadfully dull.
I'm going with two out of five for director Rumi Jaffrey's 'Gali Gali Chor Hai'. Even a sleazy item song by Pakistani starlet Veena Malik is unlikely to shake you out of your slumber.

Spinal bones can break in an accident or injury. They can also break as they become weaker and more fragile with time. This is called a spinal compression fracture. When the bones of your spine become weak, even minor events or regular activities can cause them to collapse and break.
Spinal compression fractures are common in people with osteoporosis (brittle bones and bone loss).
