Artichoke and green-olive tapenade for a snack on Meatless Monday
No one's saying you have to go meatless just because it's Monday -- but as an incentive to join the growing Meatless Monday movement, we're featuring an animal-free recipe each week.
Appetizers and small plates tend to be meat-and-cheese heavy, but this tapenade is completely plant-based; serve it on top of some dairy-free crackers, as a sandwich spread or even as a topper on cooked veggies or mashed potatoes.
The fresh parsley, lemon zest and juice really make this sing -- so even if you're not a fan of citrus, try the recipe once as suggested before making changes to the formula.
You will need:
1 14-ounce can artichoke hearts
1 cup raw walnut pieces
1 cup pitted green olives
1 garlic clove
1/4 bunch fresh parsley
1 lemon
4-5 tablespoons olive oil
fresh-ground pepper to taste
1. Drain the can of artichokes in a colander.
Throw the green olives in with the artichokes and allow both to drain while you continue preparing the recipe.

Posted by Tracy in Consumer Headlines, Technology and has No CommentsNEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Ultra-low prices for flat screen LCD TVs are typical for Black Friday. But this year, the best deals are expected to come even later in the holiday season and into early 2011.
The average price for a 42-inch LCD TV is forecast to be $626 this quarter, but the price is expected to fall below $600 in the beginning of next year before rising again, according to NPD Group. Prices for 52-inch LCD TVs are expected to drop by $120 on average during the same time period.

Winter Golf Tip #1
One of the most common issues with golfers that live in cold climates is remaining flexible over the winter months. since golf is a rotational game that requires flexibility, winter puts a big damper on this significant element of a good golf swing. Here is what I recommend:
- Rotation – If you cannot swing a golf club over the winter, be sure to do some sort of rotation exercise so you do not lose this movement. Be careful to do these stretches very carefully. Avoid any jerking motion – when rotating, you will need to hold your stretch for about 30-45 seconds. Rotate left and right. 3-5 reps each way daily or at least 3-4 times per week will help significantly.
- Core/Balance – Find some good core and balance excercises. Again, when you go 3-4 months without swinging a golf club your balance and core strength will diminish. Both of these two elements are essential when swinging the golf club.

Look for another tip mid January!!!

US & The Legalization of Marijuana
- April 2014
- Posted By JohnnyG
- 0 Comments
The debate about the legalization of marijuana has been ongoing. Some people fear that the legalization will encourage abuse but several countries across the globe that have completed the process stand as evidence of the contrary. Several US states legalized cannabis use for medicinal purposes, which means that general legalization is a viable possibility that could happen in the coming years.
There are several important reasons why the legalization of marijuana should at least be considered.
Less Drug Smuggling and Drug-Related Crimes
Any activity that becomes legal will be subjected to strict regulations and taxation. This legal framework will decrease the number of crimes that are connected to marijuana smuggling and distribution.
The taxation of marijuana growing and selling will add millions of dollars to the national budget. This money will be diverted away from drug cartels. Additionally, the number of prohibition-related murders will also be expected to decrease. According to a Forbes report, there have been 24,000 prohibition related murders in Mexico for the past eight years.
Finally, significant portions of the national budget will be available for diversion to other vitally important activities after the legalization of marijuana. These financial and crime-related benefits are too significant to be underestimated.
Medical Benefits
The medical benefits of marijuana have been studies and documented extensively. These are the reason for its legalization in several states. If you are interested in the plant and its medicinal qualities, you can learn more about marijuana seeds online.
Marijuana is a very efficient pain medication. The use of marijuana extract has also been proven to benefit people suffering from HIV and AIDS. Multiple sclerosis sufferers can benefit from marijuana because of its anti-inflammatory qualities.
Several studies prove that marijuana is more efficient than a few pharmaceutical products and apparently, it is a lot safer than these.
Alcohol and Cigarettes are Legal?
The truth is that we have legal and easy access to mind-altering substances already. This is the case with alcohol and with some pharmacological products that can be purchased quite easily.
This is a great paradox. Why are so many harmful substances legal and a plant that could potentially deliver great medicinal benefits still considered something wrong, something that should never be used?
The claim that marijuana kills brain cells is apparently a myth. The studies performed involved animals, which were subjected to marijuana smoke. Some of them suffocated, which was attributed to brain damage. More research will have to be done to confirm the fact that cannabis use in humans can lead to the death of brain cells.
Stricter Control Means Better Marijuana
Drug smuggling and the illegal distribution of marijuana has resulted in so many shady practices.
A lot of the illegal marijuana that is currently being sold by drug dealers is either of inferior quality or mixed with other ingredients. It is easy to understand why this is so dangerous. Strict rules and regulations will result in higher quality and much safer use of cannabis.
Legal Marijuana, Less Popular Marijuana
The forbidden fruit is always the most attractive one. The war waged on drugs has only boosted their popularity among younger individuals. There is a related "cool factor" that can easily be taken out of the equation through legalization.
This is why the belief that legalization of marijuana will increase the number of people abusing is so misguided. Once it becomes legal and available through a strictly regulated system, marijuana will lose some of its charm and appeal.
Every theory has two sides. The number of people speaking about the benefits, rather than the dangers, of marijuana legalization is increasing. Only the future will tell how governments will react to such arguments and what the result will be.

Having Faith from ALLAH
April 10, 2008 by TMO
By Imam Abdullah El-Amin
"ALLAH, there is no G'd but He. And on ALLAH, therefore, let the believers put their trust."
"In the case of those who say, "Our Lord is ALLAH," and, further, stand straight and steadfast, the angels descend on them (from time to time). Fear not (they say), "nor grieve! But receive the glad tidings of the Garden (of Bliss), the which you were promised.
"We are your protectors in this life and in the Hereafter: therein shall you have all that you shall desire; therein shall you have all that you ask for. A hospitable gift from One Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
There is only One Diety for all creation, for all time – and that is ALLAH. Believing that and walking (strutting) thru the earth acting on it, is the surest course to happiness and peace in this life, as well as the next life.
When you think about it, you exercise faith every day in your life. For instance, you must have faith that your food will digest in your body. Once it passes your throat, you have no more control over what happens to that food. You cannot tell your liver to secrete bile, or your pancreas to release pancreatic juice. And as every diabetic knows, you don't consciously control your insulin. It is ALLAH that has everything set in motion for you. This is total faith in ALLAH alone.
On another level, you cannot have faith in mankind either – not even in your own self. You may be the strongest, smartest, best-looking person around but you are still vunerable because you are a human being. Eventually you will fail even yourself.
When we pray Al Fatiha, two main points are emphasized. We acknowledge that ALLAH is Lord over everything and then we ask Him for guidance. And we are very specific in naming ALLAH as our object of worship. We say "Eyaaka na'budu."
Eyaaka being a very strong word for you – leaving no room or question that you are referring to someone else.
We also say ALLAH is the Master of our eventual fate. He, alone, controls the Day of Judgement, the billions of people who have gone before, the approximately 6 billlion alive today who are going, and the untold billions yet to come.
With ALLAH such awesome power, and His instructing us how to utilize it, it only makes sense to put all your faith only in Him. We must have faith that if we put the directives of ALLAH into practice, wonderful, positive results will follow our actions.
We must try and emulate the faith of the prophets of ALLAH. ALLAH showed the Messenger (s) – and us through the revelation – that He is with us even in our darkest hour. He gave us revelation to assure us that when we feel worn out, goodness will come to us. The trick is don't "sit down on the job." Keep faith in what you are doing. Know that ALLAH told you to take this course of action and that it will be a fruitful, productive result. Be strong against the Shaitan mentality that seeks to lower and destroy you. ALLAH is Akbar (Greater).
With ALLAH'S name, the Merciful Benefactor, Merciful Redeemer
As Salaam alaikum
(Al Hajj) Imam Abdullah Bey El-Amin

G'day from Sydney
I thought I would share how my ROV build is going. Although I am an electrical engineer, I have been using the OpenROV electronics/software and building my own mechanical enclosure. (Once I have a base ROV up and running I would like to contribute to the electronics and firmware.)
The ROV is almost complete. I still need to attach the vertical thruster, pressure test the hull (aka drop the empty shell 50m or so into the ocean), purchase some reels of wire and drill a hole in the enclosure for the tether.
Anyway, here are a few photos of the build so far.. The enclosure is built from PVC pipe which I bought at the local hardware for around $10-15 AUD. (No toilet jokes please)
Front View: The camera goes behind the empty window.
Spilling its guts...The electronics slide right in, they are about half way in in this picture. Also the motors are enclosed in "pods" with an opening for the shaft which passes through a grease filled compartment. Although the motors are easily replaced, I will be primarily using the ROV in salt water and would like to stop any water getting in to prevent corrosion.
Electronics mount- Im still looking for a place to mount the ESCs so that they aren't in the way of anything.It is powered by a 5Ah LiPo battery which fits in a space below the beaglebone.
Camera Mount - the small bar there tilts the camera on a pivot
All sealed up - each opening is sealed with a plug with o-rings. The caps are added on top of that and sealed with silicone for a little bit of extra leak protection and the silicone is easy to remove so that the electronics are still accessible.
I have been having heaps of fun building it and welcome any comments or suggestions.
Nice job Kurt! My V2.5 ROV kit arrived yesterday and I think I will build it according to spec. I'm keenly interested in how effective a seal you achieve using grease around the drive shafts. I will be almost exclusively saltwater too and I'm too much of a Scotsman to replace anything before I absolutely have to - sealed drive motors are the way to go!
Awesome! I love homebuilt ROVs like this. have you done any stability testing? Your design may lead to easy roll-over and instability if you have the center of mass and center of buoyancy co-located. Also, what depth are you planing for?

One of the peculiar realities of the proposed rule to update the nutrition standards for school lunches is that none of the comments are available for public inspection. Typically, comments about proposed rules on www.regulations.gov are posted in near real time. But if you go to the site now and search for the proposed rule - Nutrition Standards in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs - you will see no public comments attached to it, even though the rule has most likely attracted many public comments already and may feature thousands of comments by the April 13 deadline.
I'm really not sure why USDA does it this way, and I don't like the cloak that hides the public comments until after the fact - I'm assuming the comments will be submitted for public review at a later date.
Still, there are some groups that are publicizing their comments about the proposed rule. One such group is the School Nutrition Association. I received an email this week with a short press release from group trumpeting the association's comments about the proposed rule.
I would put a lot of weight on the SNA's comments, representing as they do a significant stakeholder in the debate. Generally, they support the proposed rule, with some modifications and an altered time line. I will be anxious to see the official comments from the National Potato Council, United Fresh, PMA and others regarding the proposed rule. Pass those along to me when they are available!
Here is what the release from SNA said:
SNA Submits Comments on Proposed School Meal Standards
School nutrition professionals raise concerns about feasibility of meeting proposed standards on time
National Harbor, Md. (March 29, 2011) – The School Nutrition Association (SNA) has submitted comments to the US Department of Agriculture in response to the department's proposed rule outlining new nutrition standards for school meals.
The comments, available at http://www.schoolnutrition.org/uploadedFiles/School_Nutrition/101_News/NewsArchives/SNA_News_Articles/SNAProposedSchoolMealPatternReqsComments.pdf?n=3060, express SNA's support for the proposed rule's goals of increasing student consumption of fruits, vegetables and whole grains while reducing the sodium, calories and fat in school meals. Yet, the document raises concerns about schools' ability to meet all the requirements within the proposed rule's tight timetables.

We are remodeling a house that had a mexican tile floor through the entire downstairs and on the hearth of the family room fireplace. We have put in new white oak floors and are the cabinets will be painted a creamy white. I can't figure out what to put on this hearth. The mantle is some sort of concrete crafted to look like stone. I'd rather scrap the entire fireplace and start over but we need to move in very soon. We had considered reclaimed wood but it's a wood burning fireplace so that's not an option :( Any suggestions would be appreciated!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Post this on the old house forum. I'll bet you will get tons of suggestions |
thanks jonnyp - I'll do that :) |
We are putting in a soapstone hearth for our fireplace. Soapstone is supposed to great for that purpose, as it will absorb heat and slowly release it back after the heat source is gone. It is heat resistant, of course, isn't porous and we like the look. We got a remnant from a soapstone place and got it cut to size (59" x 16") for only $120. We also picked up some soapstone tiles to replace the existing tiles. |

It is hard to tell whether the Doodle Toys are pens or playthings. That is because they are a bit of both. Shaped like a quirky cartoon character, the pen portion, which works, of the Doodle Toys act as the head while the body was inspired by an old fashioned ink bottle. Complete with stubby arms and legs, the Doodle Toys are adorable to look at and use.
Designed by Bugs and Plush, a studio based in Mexico Distrito Federal, Mexico, the Doodle Toys is available in four different models: Pencil, Pen, Paint Brush and Fountain Pen. They each come with a set of stickers so that children (and adults) can customize their faces with eyes and mouths. Coming in ten different colors, the Doodle Toys are made out of vinyl.

Earlier this summer, friend of the blog and all around awesome dude, Jonah Keri announced that he would be working on a new book for publication in 2014 that focuses on the history of the Montreal Expos. His explanation for the project made it sound like the blueprint for the book would be Two Solitudes meets Kicking Tomorrow meets Barbarians At The Gate meets Youppi.
Excitement in Canadian baseball circles abounded.
Today, Keri tweeted a brief nugget of interesting information that came out of his research for the project.
Instead of further investigating the Yankees offer, Expos GM Jim Beattie traded Pedro to the Boston Red Sox for a player to be named later (who ended up being Tony Armas) and Carl Pavano. Martinez went on to have three of the best successive seasons in the history of pitching, Rivera went on to become the greatest reliever in the history of baseball, and Pavano and Armas went on to become, well Pavano and Armas, two solid, but unspectacular starters during their respective years in Montreal.
As much as it may be difficult to imagine for a sentimental Yankees fan, hindsight suggests that trading Rivera for Martinez would've been a good trade for New York. Sacrilege!

Once you have a baby, and you're out and about, your diaper bag becomes such a part of you that it starts to feel like an appendage. There's not much middle ground with diaper bags, most moms either love the one they have or they hate it. If you have one that keeps your gear (in this case, diapers, wipes and creams) at the ready, you'll feel like that got-it-together mom you want to be. If your diaper bag is a black hole that requires an archaeological dig to find what you are looking for (as baby wails and threatens to fall off the changing table) then you are going to feel disorganized and frazzled. Trading in your fashionable designer handbag for a practical diaper bag is a change that can leave a mom missing her more stylish and carefree days but these days it's possible to get a diaper bag that is as functional as it is attractive. There are tons of smart-looking diaper bags to choose from and designers like Kate Spade and Rebecca Minkoff even have their own diaper bag lines. Whatever your style or needs, our diaper bag buying guides will help you find your ideal bag.
Find baby registries (at top retailers!) and websites with one easy search.
The right diaper bag will make you feel like the put-together mom that you want to be. The wrong diaper bag will leave you feeling frustrated and frazzled. Find your perfect diaper bag with our how-to and product guides.

I am in the market for a new digital camera. The Mustex 8.0 megapixel 6 in 1 digital camera has cought my eye.
I know squat about digital cameras and was wondering if anyone has anything to say about this brand. Thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think you mean "Mustek"? Nothing good to say about it. Photography has been a serious hobby of mine for many years. I'm not a fan of (digital) cameras made by companies that don't make a living from photography. That includes companies like HP and Casio and "brands" like Polaroid which are just names anymore, not actual companies with regular staffs. The only company like that to which I'd give a break is Sony, and that's because Sony has for years manufactured some of the best "analog" video gear and because they recently bought Konica-Minolta's camera business. One of the things to watch in "point-and-shoot" (P&S) cameras of this type is the pixel count (in this case, 8 megapixels). P&S cameras tend toward being small and light, neither of which makes for better pictures. This particular camera, I see, has a very limited range for the aperture, which will affect your ability to take good pictures in low light or very bright light. Pictures likely will end up dim or "blown-out" with big white spots where highly-reflective surfaces should be. The camera probably tries to get around this by altering the time the shutter is open, which will affect both the accuracy and the sharpness of your pictures -- colors will be "off" and pictures will appear noisy -- like a bad TV picture. I don't know exactly which model you're looking at or how much they're selling it for wherever you're buying it, but for the money Mustek charges on-line for their 8 MP cameras, you could buy a good camera from companies like Canon, Olympus, Nikon, or Pentax (or even Sony) and not have to live with these severe limitations. One last word (I know, this is turning into a book): pixel count is not the only measure of camera quality. Especially with lower-priced P&S cameras, you can have too high a pixel count -- so many pixels crammed into a little sensor that digital noise is visible on anything other than sunny-day pictures. If you're only going to view pictures on your computer or print out pictures smaller than 5x7, there really is no need to get more than 5 or 6 megapixels. If you're going to print larger than that, you really should get a better camera than a $200-300 P&S. Better to spend the money on a lower-pixel-count camera with a good lens and sensor than to buy the absolute highest pixel count you can and find your pictures come out crummy anyway. |

St. Croix Trading Traditions Tribal PT64 Burgundy Rug
Item #: 332PT64-P Add to Wishlist
Features: This product has the following features:
- Collection: Traditions
- Brand: St. Croix Trading
- Material: 100% Wool
- Weave: Hand Tufted
- Styles: Southwestern Rugs
- Origin: India
- Available in the following sizes: 4' x 6', 5' x 8', 8' x 11', 6' Round, 8' Round, 2' 6'' x 8' and 2' 6'' x 12'
- Clean & Care: Vacuum regularly as new wool rugs can shed yarn fibers for up to three months. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
I rate this rug a real steal for the price. It's nice thick wool and a good quality item. What's even more impressive is RugsUSA's service. I ordered this the day Hurricane Sandy hit, their website indicated their employees wouldn't be in the office due to the storm. I was fine with that and figured the rug would be shipped in a week or so due to the extent of the storm. Yet the next day I received an email saying the rug had shipped! I was impressed.
A 12ft runner, especially in a Native-American-type design, is very hard to find!! I couldn't find anything in local stores, so I tried rugsusa.com...my first purchase with you! I am VERY happy with the rug...it arrived quickly and is incredibly thick and cushy! the colors are beautiful! a great deal and the quality exceeded expectations!!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.

Alpha replaces Beta: Another Test Version of Firefox 3
The seventh pre-release version of the upcoming Mozilla Firefox 3 browser (codename Gran Paradiso) includes new features and several bugfixes.

Apr 17, 2013 7:00 AM by ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO (AP) - A strong earthquake and about 20 smaller temblors have struck a small volcanic island south of Tokyo, but there is no danger of a tsunami and no injuries have been reported.
Japan's Meteorological Agency says a magnitude-6.2 quake hit just off Miyake island Wednesday evening at a depth of 20 kilometers (12 miles). About 20 smaller temblors have also been recorded in the area since the morning.
The agency says it has detected no significant elevation in the island's volcanic activity and that there is no danger of a tsunami.
The volcano, located 180 kilometers (110 miles) south of Tokyo, most recently erupted in 2000, forcing all 3,000 of the island's residents to evacuate.

Hi Everyone, Hope you enjoyed the holiday weekend. Did anyone get to do any painting? I painted an 8x10 Raggedy Ann sign. Plan to put it on a stake and put in the flower beds. Just need to attach everything and seal it against the weather. I used a "pattern" from a coloring book I bought for my GD. ;o) I have always liked Raggedy Anne's and just wanted to have that happy face somewhere in the yard. What did you work on? |
Follow-Up Postings:
luvs~ that sounds too cute, but here I spent my weekend taking everything OUT of my beds for winter. ha I did actually get to work on painting 3 wooden Christmas stars. I'm just trying to find time to finish the last one and I'll post a pic. ~Anj |

Wish it were cooler here so I could cut out some wood pieces to paint--but it is worse than a sauna in my shed right now. Guess I should pull out the box of wood pieces that I have already cut out--maybe something in there I would want to work on. Just can't think about Christmas yet in this heat. I did drag out some already painted scarecrows and things for fall to decorate my front patio. Felt funny putting them out while it is still so hot. LOL |
It's cooled off here quite a bit, but not enough to be in the Christmas spirit. I just had to get those stars done so I could get started on my fan blade scarecrow. I bet your patio is looking so great. I need to cut down my grapevine so I can get it dried to put over my front door. Once again, so many projects!! ha Hope you find something fun to work on. |

Hi Anjabee, Couldn't cut in the shed because it was too hot, so just worked on a GJ project instead. Also got to watch 2 yr old GD for a few hours. I want to work on a couple of scarecrow items too. I love their happy faces. Scarecrows, Snowmen and Raggedy Anne are some of my favorites. Well, better get ready for work, hope you get a chance to paint today. Love seeing all your pics! |

I made and painted a whimsicle(sp) cow for a friend.It was made out of triangles of fabric,painted the fabric,then painted the facial features,sewed it all up stuffed it and mailed it off to her.Forgot to take a picture,will have her take one and email it to me. Luvs,that sounds so cute!! I have a tin raggedy anne sign and a cloth doll in my dining room,with my patriotic,stuff. Anj,sure would like to see your fan blade scarecrow. Here it's also still too hot to put out the fall stuff. Kathi |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Fri, Sep 8, 06 at 19:49
Oh, I want to see your cow! Sounds so cute. Bet your friend will be thrilled when she gets it. Weather cooled off about 15 degrees, feels better, might go check the shed when I get through here. Love chatting with you and Anj. |
Hey Kathi~ I decorate Americana too. I love anything old and prim so there's kind of a mixture there with my stuff. I have my old raggety doll that an aunt made me when I was small sitting on a shelf. My kitchen has cows, but I'm getting ready to paint it red so it will make the transition from living room to kitchen better. I've got to get started on the scarecrow. I found the pattern I want to use yesterday so hopefully I can get started on it today. Luvs~ I've really enjoyed chatting with ya'll too! Just wish we could get some more painters interested. May just take a while for people to see that it's active here again?? And maybe the change in the weather will make a difference too? |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Sun, Sep 10, 06 at 0:50
Hi Anj, I think you are right about the weather. I'll bet more piople will be painting this winter. Now they are taking vacatons and working on outdoor projects.

Beautiful Thing to Watch
With an eye toward one thing, playing music for a living, Gerry Stanek spent the 1980s in just about every rough and tumble bar in Western Pennsylvania. Playing a couple of hundred times a year was a training ground like no other. As lead singer for The Impostors, Stanek drove the van and booked the gigs. And rather than spend his days sleeping,
he started writing and recording songs in his parents' basement. More training.
By 1990, Stanek had moved on, tired of playing covers and getting nowhere. An audition during a blizzard took place at Lamont's Tavern in Johnstown, PA. Gerry Stanek had just enough chops as a bass player to land a gig with The Lost, a New York City band signed to Epic Records. He spent the next three years touring and recording with Luke Janklow and company. The Lost toured relentlessly, opening for acts like The Black Crowes, King's X, Mr. Big and The Ramones. All along, Gerry Stanek was still writing songs. More training.
Despite the hard work and a label deal, success was fleeting for The Lost and Stanek left the band in the summer of 1992. He found himself back in Pennsylvania without a gig. And then the phone rang one day and it was Norman Nardini, Pittsburgh's hardest working musician; a guy who had grabbed at the top rung of the ladder several times; a fighter who had his own flirtations with major labels. Stanek signed on to play bass with Nardini and spent the next year and a half tooling around the East Coast in Nardini's van, playing all the great rooms in Pittsburgh and eating 3AM wings at Excuses on the South Side. More training.
Stanek left Nardini's band in the fall of '93 and headed for the Jersey Shore to devote time and attention to a growing catalog of his own songs. There was a thriving scene for original music in Asbury Park and before you could say seaside, he was performing regularly at The Saint and other clubs in Monmouth County. He was driving up to the city,too, singing and playing at The Bitter End, CBGB's 313 Gallery and other clubs. Training. Working. Training.
Stanek's talent as a bass player and his long and varied band experience was the ace he always carried, though. He was offered a job with John Eddie at one point, but decided to stay solo. He'd met JE's guitar player, PK Lavengood, while gigging with Norm Nardini. And it was Lavengood who introduced Stanek to the guys in Outcry, New Jersey's tougher, louder answer to Crowded House. Next thing you know, Gerry was in the big Outcry house in Allenhurst learning songs. And for three years he moved in and out of employment with the Outcry boys, finally signing on for good as the band prepared to release a record with Eureka/Polygram in 1997. More training.
Alas, record deals don't always add up to sales. By the winter of '98-'99, Gerry Stanek had moved back to Pennsylvania, disenchanted with the business of music. He was 35 and not exactly sure what his life was going to look like. "For the first couple of years, my guitars collected dust," he says. "It was so hard to quit, so devastating to accept the end, I just let it go completely."
The stars always seem to align, though. In the early part of the new millennium, Stanek started to scribble lyrics again. Then he started to think about finishing songs. And, well, you know the rest. Simply put, there's lots more music in Gerry Stanek. There's more training; more work. More training.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Smokey!
Facts about Smokey
- Breed: Border Collie/Australian Shepherd Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Smokey's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Meet our beautiful Smokey. Smokey came to us after his precious owners lost their home in a house fire. He is full of love and life. He recently participated in our local parade and boy did he ROCK it. Smokey is great with other dogs and love to play with his friends. He walks wonderful on a leash and he is potty trained to a doggy door. As you can see he has eyes that will absolutely make you melt. If you are interested in meeting Smokey please go to our website: www.heavencanwaitanimalrescue.com and fill out an adoption.
Other Pets at Heaven Can Wait Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Smokey, a Russellville Border Collie/Australian Shepherd dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd for sale in Russellville, or seeking a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd dog from a breeder in Russellville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Russellville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Russellville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Border Collie/Australian Shepherd breeders who help with Border Collie/Australian Shepherd rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Russellville paves the way for another one to be saved.

I've had a problem with moss as I have some large trees in my yard. I been told that lime will kill moss. Tryed it and had no luck. I've tryed other things and moss still comes back. Even round up only killed surface moss, then it comes back again. Was wondering since clover would probably produce more shade compared to regular grass, do you think any moss would die from lack of sunshine? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Moss is a symptom that more-advanced plants like grass can't do well in a location. It can be shade, water, pH or traffic compaction. Moss will keep returning until the underlying problem is corrected. Lime will not do it. Clover will not do it. Unless you're sure that shade is the only problem, a good professional soil test (not a Home Depot special) will point at the problem to correct. |

Located three miles off the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, Pangkor Laut is a privately owned island, accessible via a 30-minute speedboat ride from the coastal town of Lumut. This island paradise has been 2 million years in the making, and it is here that the acclaimed Pangkor Laut Resort nestles serenely amidst pristine beaches, sweeping bays and ancient rainforest. Emerald Bay, the resort�s private beach, has often been cited as one of the world�s most beautiful beaches.
Of the island�s 300 acres, only a fraction has been developed to house the 142 luxury villas and suites, the eight exclusive Estates and the award-winning Spa Village � all of which blend seamlessly into the jungle habitat as if nature had been the architect.
Linked by wooden walkways, the signature Spa and Sea Villas stand elegantly on stilts over the water. Each boasts a stylish bathroom with oversized bathtub. The Beach Villas (semi-detached bungalows) are just steps away from the white sandy beach and feature a large bathroom with separate shower and huge bathtub in a private outdoor courtyard. Set dramatically on the hillside (with stunning views of the sea) or dotted around the resort�s lush tropical gardens, both the Hill and Garden Villas are housed in two storey units � upstairs, the bathroom opens out to views of the rainforest whilst downstairs, the Villas have an outdoor bathtub in a private courtyard.
Resort facilities include two swimming pools (one exclusively for guests of the spa), tennis and squash courts, a gym and Spa Village � a four acre haven of relaxation where you can indulge in an array of treatments that honour the healing cultures of the region. The seven restaurants and bars offer superb cuisine in a variety of exquisite settings � and you can also cruise around the island aboard an antique junk.

Dining alone is always an adventure. One night when I was in the Philippines, I found myself needing to dine alone. I didn't feel like eating in the hotel, and I wasn't in the mood to hire a car or taxi to drive me all over town, so I decided I'd check out the Greenbelt area of Makati. It had been almost 8 years since I had been to Manila, and a lot had changed. The Greenbelt area was completely new since my last visit, and I had heard it offered a myriad of shops and restaurants, so I figured it was worth checking out.
After a quick 5 minute walk, and a detour by a bizarre open air church, I was there. There were indeed, a ton of restaurants and shops, including a lot of western chains such as Starbucks and Seattle's Best. After walking around for another ten minutes or so, I settled on a Spanish Tapas place called Casa Armas Tapas Bar y Restaurante, on the third floor of Greenbelt 3.
When I got there, it was still a bit early at about 6:30pm. The place was dead, but I had brought along a book (a constant companion when traveling solo) so I figured I'd be good to go. I was the only person there, so I was curious as to how I'd end up being treated. The waiter promptly seated me at a two top near a window overlooking the city, which I considered a good move.
After a few minutes, the waiter returned with a bread basket and asked me if I wanted anything to drink. I ordered a glass of the house red, which ended up being fairly dry, but not particularly good.
There were actually two menus from which to choose, a tapas menu, and a menu of more traditional Spanish (and other) fare. I was in the mood for tasting, so I opted to order exclusively from the tapas menu.
I ended up placing orders for gambas al ajillo (shrimp in olive oil and garlic), an assorted meat/fish/cheese/olive tray, and two pieces each of assorted shrimp, fish, pickles, and toast.
The gambas al ajillo was by far my favorite. The shrimp were nicely done, and the combination of pungent garlic and olive oil was divine.
The mixed plate had homemade chorizo, Jamon Serrano, and what I think was soppressato, along with manchego cheese, olives, and sardines. I loved the chorizo and manchego cheese, but the ham was not nearly as good as the other times I've had it. The olives were also plain and uninteresting. The plate was originally supposed to come with anchovies, but they were all out, so they substituted with large sardines. I'm glad they did, because they were great! I honestly had never gotten around to eating sardines, thinking they were nasty little fish that came in cans, but my opinion is now changed.
The other items I ordered were basically toothpicks containing pickles, olives, and shrimp or sardines, served on toast. They were ok, but nothing worth remembering.
All in all, Casa de Armas was ok. The gambas al ajillo were very good, but unfortunately, the rest of the menu fell a little short of what I had been hoping for. I do have to credit the experience, though, to opening my eyes to sardines, a food I had entirely dismissed until this trip.

What a great fountain...
Verified Purchase
What a great fountain pen! An excellent hand fit for those who prefer shorter
pens, very good build quality and a reassuringly expensive sounding 'click' when
you put the cap on. Couple that with a wonderfully smooth Fine point nib and
you've got an excellent fountain pen for an excellent price.
I must beg to differ with the previous reviewer regarding colour, if anything the Prera that I received is not as bright a green as that shown above. Mine is a slightly lighter shade, not as 'loud' as the product photo, and tends more towards a 'lime' or 'grass' green than neon; when I took it out of the package it didn't scream GREEN! 5 people found this helpful

Now then, this pencil...
Verified Purchase
Now then, this pencil case is a bit special! The surface, although hard foam
plastic, has the look of smooth leather about it though, its being plastic adds
a degree of firmness to the construction which will be ideal for protecting
those treasured pens/pencils. Stands very well when open though it doesn't roll
down like a NeoCritz, not that it needs to as the contents are still easily
accessible and the case is surprisingly stable for something so narrow. Looks
every inch the executive pen case.
I bought mine to house my favourite fountain pens when on the road and it's proving to be ideal for the purpose - I usually carry three fountain pens so as to have a variety of nib sizes/inks available as I travel. 5 people found this helpful

Tokarski's Return, Janus' Rise Creates Competition in Norfolk
Submitted by chad on September 22, 2011 - 09:23He's back.
Dustin Tokarski spent the first weekend of the Tampa Bay Lightning's 2011 training camp in a nice new Lightning cap and standard-issue Lightning shorts and t-shirt, standing at the glass watching his teammates make their impressions on Lightning management. An abdominal injury kept Tokarski out of the Coral Springs rookie tournament, and now the highly competitive start of training camp.
Things started looking up for the former Memorial Cup MVP Wednesday as the Tampa Tribune reported the two MRIs done on Tokarski revealed no damage. He was back on the ice Wednesday morning.
And just in time.

American Lung Association Urges House of Representatives to Increase Excise Tax to Fund SCHIP
Increase a Win-Win for Public Health
Washington, DC (July 27, 2007)—
American Lung Association President and CEO Bernadette A. Toomey sent a letter today to Members of the U.S. House of Representatives encouraging their support for an increase in the federal tobacco tax to fund the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
"Increasing the federal tobacco tax is a win-win for children's health. In addition to providing much needed medical care for our nation's youth—including those living with lung diseases such as asthma—a substantial increase of $.61 will have the added benefit of reducing youth smoking," Toomey wrote in her letter.
Expanding SCHIP will provide health insurance to many of the 8-9 million uninsured children in the U.S. including those who are eligible for, but not currently participating in, public health programs for low-income children. In 2004, nearly 6.2 million children under the age of 18 had asthma. Childhood asthma not only afflicts millions of children, but it also results in increased absenteeism from school and hospitalization, costing a total of 14 million lost school days and $11.5 billion in direct health care costs.
The American Lung Association recognizes the potential of this legislation and urges representatives to take a strong supporting position during Congressional deliberations. "Representatives have a tremendous opportunity to reduce the burden of lung disease and promote the public health. A $0.61 increase in the federal cigarette tax will do both by discouraging youth smoking and enhancing funding for the SCHIP Program."
About the American Lung Association
Beginning our second century, the American Lung Association is the leading organization working to prevent lung disease and promote lung health. Lung disease death rates continue to increase while other leading causes of death have declined. The American Lung Association funds vital research on the causes of and treatments for lung disease. With the generous support of the public, the American Lung Association is "Improving life, one breath at a time." For more information about the American Lung Association or to support the work it does, call 1-800-LUNG-USA (1-800-586-4872) or log on to www.lung.org.

Thanks jan. Now I can recherche about this plant, I just love it. |
I found it. This one is Asclepias variegata, White Milkweed. sue |
What a beautiful flower Sue. There are many beautiful Asclepias species that can be grown in the garden in the U.S and Canada. I have grown three or four species potted but I eventually loose the hardy species during their dormancy after several years. The scent from some milkweeds is just as nice as many Hoyas. Here are a few of my plants. Asclepias viridis Asclepias curissavica Asclepias tuberosa Mike |
Thanks Mike I got a plant, just in a few days, it starts come out babies. Your plants so beautiful, I will check it out to see if I can grow in the garden. sue |

1. Buy the Dumped! Fun and Games Activity Book, which offers such whimsical games as "I Cried to Smell Few (I Tried to Tell You)."
