I purchased a passion fruit vine from Pine Island Nursery this past weekend. It is currently in a 3 gallon container. I plan on transferring the passion fruit vine to a raised garden bed I have built. The raised garden bed is 16" high and 3' w x 5' l. I also placed a landscape fabric underneath the raised garden bed. I'm also adding a trellis, so the passion fruit vine can grow. So I wanted to know which soil mix would be recommended. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks Fernando |
Follow-Up Postings:
Fernando, I grow yellow passion fruit and sweet passion fruit (passiflora alata). They like organic type of soil with excellent drainage. If the roots stay wet, they will rot. Excellent drainage is a must when growing passion vines. |
Berto, I have the yellow passion fruit. Do you mix anything into the soil and where do you buy the organic soil?? Thanks |
I meant to say soil with lots of organic matter, not organic soil. I make a big and wide hole, maybe one yard in lenght and width and 1/2 a yard deep. I fill out this hole with the best soil I can buy at any garden center...I mix in some cow manure, chicken manure and any other rich matter I find...make sure you mulch heavily after planting the vines. Fernando, in Brasil, commercial passion vines are replanted every couple years. Here in Florida, I do the same, I replant my vines every two years, maximum every three years. Nematodes is a big problem in sandy soil. I hope this info will help you. Where are you located? |
I forgot to mention, yellow passion fruit, you need a minimum of two(2) vines for cross polination. Also, you can increase fruit size and your crop by cross hand polinizing the flowers unless you have lots of carpenter bees in your yard. |
I'm located in Miami Beach. I have two vines that i'm going to plant. |
Mine is in a raised bed 3' high without a bottom, as it is on the native soil which is sandy. In the bed I mixed compost, and soil from my yard. My purple passion fruit is doing spectacularly. I got around 50 fruits from it the first year, but I hand pollinated most of them as it was not getting enough insect visitors to keep it fruiting. |
Gnappi, Even though the purple variety is self polinated, hand polination helps with pulp volume and fruit size. All commercial plantations in Brasil uses hand polination to increase fruit production. I grow a large yellow variety and my record so far is a 320 grams fruit, which amounts to a little over 2/3 of a pound. |
Hi Berto, I was advised against hand pollination but I'm really glad I did. For the first time I knew what passionfruit juice should taste like. Gary |
Gnnapi, I grew up enjoying passion fruit which a call "maracuja". I am trying to grow a sweet variety (passiflora alata) in large pots here in South Florida. So far, some flowers but no fruits yet. They will flower again when the weather gets a bit cooler. I will hand polinate them and hopefully will get some fruits. Hand polination is the way to go if one wants large fruits with lot of pulp. Have you tried to make jelly with them? It is a fantastic jelly!!! |
Hello Fernando, With my experience, I would say that the best soil for passion fruit should be rich in manure and can drain very well. Passion fruit need a lot of nutrients in order to sustain the vines natural vigorous growth. Since I live close to a horse facility, I use lot of horse manure with seems to work very well. I also try to mix in well shredded wood chips. I have a Frederick passion fruit vine and it is about 15 feet tall with three enormous fruits. I got it last summer and it was grown from cuttings. Good luck, Daniel |

Home Roasting Starter Kit B - Drum Roasting
Drum roasters produce a more even roast with balanced body and brightness. They also roast more coffee at once for those who drink a lot of coffee and need something with easy controls. This kit includes a Behmor 1600 Plus roaster, an 8 lb Green Coffee Sampler (your choice of regular, decaf, or espresso), a roast log, an Escali L600 scale and valve bags for storing roasted coffee.
$435.00 -
Upgrade Control Panel for Behmor 1600
Are you a Behmor user with a need for more control? This unassuming panel will do the trick. Installing it into a Behmor 1600 roaster will give your machine the same features as the Behmor Plus roaster. At first controlling the new features may seem complicated since some of the buttons are now multi-function but once you get used to it, your Behmor will be doing those things that you always wished it did. You will have the choice of using the original automatic mode with preset roast profiles as well.
You will have to install it yourself with standard household tools. Instructions will be provided. Click here for our installation guide.
Behmor 1600 Plus Roaster
The Behmor 1600 Plus is easy to use, has smoke suppression technology and has a batch size of up to a pound at a time. It's an affordable drum roaster that uses pre-programmed roast profiles but can be used manually, giving the user control over temperature and drum speed. It comes with a free 8 pound green coffee sampler.
Learn More$369.00 -
Behmor Small Grid Drum
The Behmor 1600 roaster now ships with the Small Grid Drum. So this is only for folks who want to upgrade their older roaster or need a replacement.
The drum has a slightly smaller size and diagonial grid pattern to make it easier to roast small bean coffees and blends with small beans. It also has a hingeless clasp. The smaller grid does mean that there will be more chaff caught in the drum with the roasted beans. Chaff is essentially flavor-neutral, so it is not a problem to grind a little chaff with your coffee - or you can blow off the chaff. We recommend this drum for coffees such as Yemen, and even longberry Harar types that tend to get stuck in the wire grid of the older Behmor drum.
$30.00 -
Low Profile Chaff Tray for Behmor Drum Roaster
As of November 2009, Behmor roasters now ship with a "low profile" chaff tray. The re-designed chaff tray improves visibility, so you can see into the roaster much more easily.
In our experience using both chaff trays, there is a definite trade off with using the new low profile tray. Yes, visibility is enhanced, and that is good, but it is harder to maneuver in and out of the roaster, harder to clean, and with rivets and springs added to it, there is more to break. It seems to catch more chaff, but it is not safer in our experience. You can still have a chaff fire with the new tray; we did.
You definitely want to read the PDF that Joe Behm has written about the new chaff tray - as it is trickier to insert and remove from the roaster. Remember to remove the protective film covering on the new chaff tray if you have it, as noted in the Chaff Tray Instructions PDF above.

"We're hoping March is good," Dolan said. "March is normally a good red month."
Ted Kreis, marketing and communications director for the Northern Plains Potato Growers Association, East Grand Forks, Minn., was more optimistic about the valley's chances of capitalizing on St. Patrick's Day demand.
Florida growers likely won't ship significant volumes until after St. Pat's, meaning valley growers could get their typical 15% bump in the runup to the holiday.
"Things are starting to pick up," Kreis said.

Patrick Stewart's one-man version of "A Christmas Carol" struck me as astounding when he first did it 10 years ago. It seems no less so now, the first time he has done it in New York in seven years. It is back, in part, as Stewart's response as an adopted New Yorker to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. All proceeds from the current engagement, which ends Sunday, go to charity. Stewart is appearing in the Marriott Marquis, and part of his achievement is to make this barn of a theater seem intimate. The stage has been extended over what is normally the orchestra pit to bring Stewart closer to the audience, but the feeling of intimacy comes from his sense of how to hold an audience rather than from simple carpentry. The set consists of a lectern, which he never uses, since he knows his text by heart, and several wooden chairs and tables. Even this minimal amount of furniture seems superfluous, since what really fills the large stage is Dickens' words. One of the things that made Dickens unfashionable for many decades was the extravagance of his imagination. He never believed that less is more. He describes Scrooge's house, for example, as an unlikely inhabitant of the odd corner of London in which it stands, as if, when it was "a young house," it had run there in a game of hide-and-seek and never left. In Dickens' world, everything is animated. Everything - a house, a door knocker, a pot of potatoes - is alive. This is what makes him an ideal writer for the stage. If an actor had a voice less musical, less resonant than Stewart's this alive-ness might not be apparent. But Stewart makes everything sing. More important, he makes all of the characters seem individuals. His bald cranium and penetrating eyes make him a truly forbidding Scrooge, but by contorting his body and his voice, he seems just as perfect for the lovable Fezziwig or a whole range of Cratchits. However many times I have heard the story, I always find something new when Stewart tells it. This time, for example, I was struck by Scrooge's brave fiancée, who breaks off their engagement because she feels he has become more enamored of money than he is of her. When they were betrothed they were both poor, she reminds him. She still is. "Would you choose me now?" she asks him. As Stewart plays her, her tone is plaintive rather than accusatory, but what makes the moment powerful is the long pause after her question. Another moment that struck me with new force was when Mrs. Cratchit tells her husband their daughter Martha, who arrived while he was out, won't be coming to Christmas this year. When Martha hears how wounded her father is, she ends the prank quickly, a moving illustration of "family values."
Fred Allen's lighting, as simple but profound as Stewart's staging, heightens the emotional impact of the evening, but ultimately what makes it so overpowering is Stewart's ability to project the work itself, which dramatizes so magically mankind's elemental yearning for self-renewal.

Have you done any stats on ITP, and if the diet has helped anyone. I have asked many people with ITP their blood type and 95 % have been O postive. I have also noticed that the ones who go into remission are the ones who are the other blood types.

text: Managing Editor The DVD column goes animated with three new cartoon releases. The Real Ghostbusters, Vol. One Animation in the 1980s has been either the object of affectionate nostalgia from people who grew up during the decade or disdain from older animation fans -- such as myself -- who saw little good on the Saturday morning offerings. Nostalgia is a strong emotion, though, and I can only assume that is what has motivated the people at Time Life to issue a five-disc set of the first 30 episodes of the animated version of the hit 1984 live action comedy. The "making of" featurette describes the creative path the series had to follow including the interesting wrinkle of maintaining the same characters from the film but with new faces and names. The show was written here and animated overseas, which made its production slightly more interesting. The look of some of the characters varies from scene to scene and the voices and mouth action don't line up all the time. It's a bit of a mess and I didn't find a new viewing of the show particularly funny or involving. You might wonder why the cartoon is called "The Real Ghostbusters." A decade previous to the production of the film there was a live action Saturday morning show entitled "The Ghostbusters." Columbia Pictures had to license the title from Filmation, the company that made the show. Fast forward 10 years and Filmation is now cashing in on the success of the movie by making a cartoon version of its show, "The Ghostbusters." Two years later Columbia puts its animated version of the movie on the air and uses the title "The Real Ghostbusters" to make sure kids know which show they are watching. Either way I'd rather be watching vintage Popeye, Bugs Bunny, or Rocky and Bullwinkle shorts. South Park: The Complete Twelfth Season Or, I would rather watch "South Park." After 12 years, one might think that Trey Parker and Matt Stone might be running our of ideas for their show featuring the boys of South Park, but this collection shows the satiric edge of the program hasn't been dulled with time. For instance, I wasn't expecting an homage to the 1981 animated movie "Heavy Metal" in a show where the boys learn that breathing in cat urine vapors will get them high. Of course with six cats in my house, if this was real, I'd be hallucinating every time I cleaned the litter box. And I wasn't expecting that on the show airing the day after the election to learn that Barack Obama is in league with John McCain as the two of them are actually jewel thieves plotting to steal the Hope Diamond from the Smithsonian! The uncensored episodes aren't for kids, but are for adults who don't mind humor that can shock you or make you think. The extras on the collection show how the show gets made in six days, enabling the creators to be topical in a medium that takes months of productions time. Max Fleischer's Gulliver's Travels With the success of "Snow White" in 1937, many Hollywood studios were pondering animated features, but only one producer created such a film -- Max Fleischer. The innovative animation producer who brought Betty Boop and Popeye to the screen was under pressure from his distributor, Paramount, to make a film in time to be released at Christmas of 1939. The studio did so and "Gulliver's Travels" was such a hit that MGM brass mused that perhaps the live action "Wizard of Oz" should have been a cartoon! The film was sold in the 1950s to a television distributor, which did re-release the movie to theaters, but along the way the film's copyright was not renewed and it fell into the public domain. With the advent of home video, dozens of different versions of "Gulliver's Travels" have been in the marketplace, most often muddy and splicy second generation prints. I'm very prejudiced when comes to the works of Max Fleischer and his talented studio and I do like "Gulliver's Travels" a great deal. A simplified version of Jonathan Swift's classic, the film centers on Gulliver settling the differences between two kings who cannot agree which national song should be played at the wedding of their children. The musical score is bright and bouncy in the tradition of 1930s musicals and there are some great moments of animation. While it's not the studio's best work " the 20-minute Popeye specials are more entertaining and their second feature, "Mr. Bug Goes to Town," is better realized -- it certainly is charming and has entertainment appeal today. Now E1 Entertainment (formerly Koch Entertainment) has released a new "restored" version of the film on DVD. The film has clean and crisp images and the color matches -- to the best of my memory -- to the 35mm Technicolor prints I've seen. There is one troublesome thing though, and that is the film has been formatted for wide screen television even though the original film was not shot in a wide screen format. Although the image is letter-boxed, it technically should be window-boxed -- with a band of black defining the original screen image. I'm not sure if there is a missing image area, as I really need to compare it to the original print. It does look much better than any other DVD or VHS tape I've seen. For copyright purposes, there have been extra sound effects added to the film -- that way a "new" version has been created. I find these additions to be unnecessary, but at least they are not intrusive. The film has three extras -- two of the subsequent seven-minute shorts featuring the character Gabby from the feature and a segment from a "Popular Science" short that is a mini-documentary about the studio. The two cartoons have been window-boxed but are shown without their credits -- a lousy thing for a "restoration" to do -- and there is no explanation for the documentary footage. These complaints aside, this presentation of "Gulliver's Travels" is the closest I've seen on home video to the intent of its creators. |

Greetings! I am researching a Kevill line possibly originating in County Sligo (Kilfree parish) and emigrating to the USA in 1864 (arriving New York City). Among these immigrants were my GGGrandmother, Mary Ann Kevill (b.~1855), her aunt Mary Jane Kevill (who was only a few years older), and her grandparents, James Kevill and Mary Irwin. The latter two died shortly after arriving in the U.S. Mary Ann Kevill married Peter F. O'Sullivan in 1872 in Sioux City, Iowa and settled in West Point, Cuming County, Nebraska. Mary Jane Kevill married Thomas F. Malone also in 1872 in Sioux City, Iowa. They remained in that city. Other members of this Kevill immigrant family settled in South Dakota and Massachusetts. The surname is variously spelled in official documents as Keevil, Kevill, Kevil, and Keawell. I'm hoping to connect with others researching this line. Notify Administrator about this message?

Some highlights include the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Blue Skies Festival, Trout Forest Music Festival, BarrieFolk, and an official showcase at the 2007 NXNE festival.
This song can be found on Songs for 1,000 Days: Fourteen artists have joined Bread for the World Institute and Women of Faith for the 1,000 Days Movement to educate communities and advocate for policy change in the United States to end hunger at home and abroad and give every child the chance to thrive.
Featuring four original songs by La Muna, Tracy Howe, Heatherlyn, and Santiago Benavides, as well as a previously unreleased track from David Wilcox, this compilation contains songs about faith, hunger justice, and the call to action to support mothers and children in their first 1,000 days.
The 1,000 Days movement includes 40 different countries and promotes targeted action to improve nutrition for mothers and children in the 1,000 days between a woman's pregnancy and her child's second birthday—a time when better nutrition for mothers and children can have a life-changing impact on a child's future and help break the cycle of poverty.

According to IMDB, Emma has signed up to a new film project, titled, America Is Still the Place — which is currently listed as filming with an expected released date of June 1, 2014. It is directed by Patrick Gilles, who also wrote the screenplay.
The film is based on the novel of the same name by Charlie Walker, and is based on true events. The synopsis is posted below.
In 1971, two oil tankers collided beneath the Golden Gate bridge, spilling one million barrels of crude oil into the bay. The only thing uglier than the environmental devastation, was the institutional racism that poisoned the town and the clean up effort.
-IMDBIn 1971, two oil tankers collided under the golden gate bridge. One man, a black man, would save a small town, topple an oil giant and start the modern environmentalism movement. All, while stealing a half million dollars before anybody knew he was gone.

22 Ground Access to Major Airports by Public Transportation
Three Categories of Trip-End Density
For the purpose of this research project, three basic categories of trip-end density have been
� Less than 5 airport trip ends per square mile
� Between 5 and 50 airport trip ends per square mile
� More than 50 airport trip ends per square mile
Each of the three categories has its own challenges. As will be discussed in Step 4, the empiri-
cal data suggest that providing services from door to door at trip-end densities of less than 5 trip
ends per square mile is extremely difficult and may result in shared-ride services producing basi-
cally low-occupancy taxi services under a different name.
The examination of geographic areas composed of zones with at least 50 airport trip ends per
square mile provides a point of departure for further analysis concerning possible markets for
traditional fixed-route and -schedule service. The existence of geographic areas with more than
50 trip ends per square mile is necessary but not sufficient to support these services. Having defined
the geographic area of more than 50 trip ends per square mile, the analyst can further explore
the characteristics of density within this geographic area, which vary considerably among U.S.
airports. Table 1-2 ranks 10 of the 27 most transit-oriented U.S. airports in order of the portion
of their ground transportation markets originating in zones with densities greater than 50 trip
ends per square mile.
Airports Ranked by Orientation to Areas of High Trip-End Density
Fixed-route and -schedule service requires a certain density of trip ends to operate at reason-
able headways. Table 1-2 shows that, of U.S. airports, only San Francisco International Airport
and Reagan Washington National Airport have a majority of trip origins coming from the dens-
est category, those areas with more than 50 trip ends per square mile.
The use of the category "more than 50 trip ends per square mile" is a surrogate to describe the
market areas most susceptible to higher occupancy public mode solutions. It is a first step in the
process of identifying specific service proposals, ranging from scheduled hotel loop service (appro-
priate to most large airports) to full-scale regional rail transit coverage (applicable to a small
number of airports), such as Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA).
Whereas the first data column of Table 1-2 summarizes the extent to which an airport is ori-
ented to the highest category of trip density, the second column provides more information
about the trip-end density within that geographic area. This information is needed to assess the
ability of the market to support fixed-route and -schedule services and can be used as an indica-
tor of the potential for high-capacity service to be successful. By far the airports with the great-
est concentration of trip ends are in New York with more than 400 trip ends per square mile
for this analysis area. At the other extreme, the low trip-end densities for analysis areas in
Los Angeles are particularly cautionary in the context of markets to support fixed-route and
-schedule services throughout the defined area.
Density and Market Support Associated with Specific Modes
Next, the analyst should review the existing data concerning the trip-end densities that are sup-
portive of various forms of airport ground access services. Looking at the existing services and
market support conditions, what do we know about the correlation between trip-end density and
specific modal service? What mode shares can be expected within specifically targeted geographic
areas? While many factors contribute, clearly volume (and density) of trip ends are critical ele-
ments in understanding the ability of specific markets to support specific modal services.

SOURCE: TCRP Report 83, MarketSense.
A key conclusion of TCRP Report 62 (16) and TCRP Report 83 (47) is that the overall mode
share for an entire airport does not reveal the extent to which a given strategy may or may not be
working; it does not provide the basis on which to analyze the performance of specific services.
Rather, each candidate service needs to be examined in terms of a catchment area in which the serv-
ice is a logical choice for the traveler. Using this market research technique, Chapter 6 reviews a set
of specific services in the Washington, D.C., area in the context of their logical catchment area.
Air Traveler Markets Supportive of Rail Services
TCRP Report 83 calculated that the primary geographic market for rail services for air travelers
to Boston's airport is characterized by a density of 150 total airport trip ends per square mile.
Within this logical catchment area, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) rail
services attain a mode share of 16% of the air travelers to Boston's airport. The same analysis
process has determined that the prime geographic market for rail services to Reagan Washington
National Airport is characterized by a density of 125 total airport trip ends per square mile. Within
this logical catchment area, WMATA rail services attain a mode share of 13% of air travelers to
Reagan Washington National Airport.
Air Traveler Markets Supportive of Regional Collection Points
Primary geographic markets were calculated for airport express bus services from regional col-
lection points serving airports in Boston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Support for these
dedicated airport bus services was found in geographic market areas with less than 5 trip ends
per square mile. The Van Nuys FlyAway bus service to Los Angeles International Airport was
supported by a market area with 8 trip ends per square mile. Express bus services from regional
collection points to Boston's airport attained more than 20% mode share in their markets, while
the Marin Airporter (San Francisco) captured more than 30% of its primary market area. Similar
strong markets are reported from other data sources for longer distance bus and van services
serving New York John F. Kennedy (JFK) and Boston airports.
Air Traveler Markets Supportive of Door-to-Door Services
In both Seattle and Oakland, the logical catchment areas for door-to-door van services were char-
acterized by airport trip-end densities averaging about 15 trip ends per square mile. A market area

Recap of the Hot and Sweaty Tandemonium Bike Race
July 17, 2012 § 1 Comment
Amongst the 4,000 attendees of the 3rd Annual Bastille on Bishop, a group of hungry racers showed up and competed in the first annual Hot & Sweaty Tandemonium bike race. The race started and finished during the event in the Bishop Arts District, traversing over 6.5 miles around north Oak Cliff.
The field of riders were dressed in their Perisian best, doning fake and real mustaches, berets and even French maid outfits. All told, 5 teams or 10 riders competed on an open course, following a prescribed routed from check point to check point. At each stop, riders would have to complete a challenge to be able to continue the race, including dunking one's posterior into the luke warm and trash filled Lake Cliff for 30 secs. Other challenges were a bit easier, like drinking a beer and answering Texas Theatre history questions.
The response was a hearty "Vous êtes génial" or "Awesome!" from the participants and spectators. We want to thank our volunteers, Ean Parsons, David and Janet Lyles, and Grace Pilon for assisting, as well as the folks at Bolsa Mercado and the Texas Theatre!
Here are the race results:
1st Place
2nd Place
3rd Place
§ One Response to Recap of the Hot and Sweaty Tandemonium Bike Race
It is a pity that my ride partner had a conflict so we could not participate and it is a pity that the weather was so hot that day.
In short, it was "a tale of two pities."

About a year after purchasing a Teac component receiver, I began to notice an annoying humming noise coming through the speakers. Taking advice of others, I tried plugging into different outlets via a surge protector, as well as using a device to eliminate ground loop...all to no avail. Called a local repair shop and was told this was a fairly common problem and was likely a loose or faulty power supply. Does this sound about right? |
Follow-Up Postings:
A faulty power supply will create a hum (usually caused by weak filter/electrolytic capcitor(s) or bad regulator components being unable to product a 'clean' voltage supply). In other words the AC power isn't being properly converted to a clean DC supply inside your receiver - and therefore you are hearing the 'hum' of the AC through your speakers. There's a simple test, to make sure it isn't being caused by something else - if the hum is still there no matter if your listening to AM, FM, audio from a tape or CD or phono then it's very likely a power supply problem. Often the hum will be present even with the volume turned down (if the power supply filtering is really bad), but usually the hum will get worse when you turn up the volume since the the hum will be increased by the (left and right) amplifer(s). Check to see if the hum is coming from both speakers - as it likley will if the power supoply is faulty. In addn poor grounds (ie in your audio cables, ect) will allow stray "AC" to be coupled into your receiever. Disconnect the audio cables temporarily to check... In the event that it's a bad power supply it can be relatively easily/inexpensively repaired by a competent technician (replacement capacitor is ~$5 with ~~ an hr or so work) - assuming the stereo is worth spending money on. Hope this helps. |

Jan 19, 2013 12:20 AM by Angela Douglas - MTN News
BILLINGS - Police detectives are investigating the kidnapping of a 29-year-old man at a hotel this week.
Police say two men armed with guns posing as FBI agents entered the hotel room of Dejaun Laster and his girlfriend. They allegedly zip-tied the two and questioned Laster's girlfriend, but eventually released her.
Laster has not been seen since the incident early Thursday morning, and is now listed as a missing person. Laster is described as a black male, 6 feet tall, weighing 185 pounds.
The alleged kidnapping happened at the Extended Stay America hotel on Southgate Drive.
Dejuan Laster's family is desperate to find him.
Dejuan's brother Chucky said Dejuan lived in Billings for about seven years, but had recently moved back to his home state of Illinois. The last time Chucky spoke with his brother was by phone on Wednesday. He says Dejuan was wrapping up a two-week visit in Billings and was planning to hit the road back to Illinois early Thursday morning.
But that plan changed When Chucky received a phone call Thursday morning that his brother had been abducted.
Chucky said he and his family have been in contact with the woman his brother was with at the hotel.
The woman apparently told Chucky that Dejuan was kidnapped around midnight Thursday, but she waited until about 3 a.m. to contact his family, and it wasn't until about 5:30 a.m. that she contacted police.
Chucky doesn't know what happened to his brother, but he knows Dejuan needs help.
"They zip-tied him and they made it seem like they were police officers. They wouldn't display badges or anything like that. The information that she gave me was that when he came back upstairs from going to his car he started running down the hallway yelling for help. If he's running and yelling for help, that means, he's not going to run from police officers yelling for help because who are you actually going to yell help for? He obviously knew that it was somebody who knew him."
The suspects are described as Hispanic males in their 30s. One is 6 feet 3 inches tall, while the other suspect is 5 feet 6 inches tall, both with black hair.Suspected vehicles involved in the crime include a white suburban and a green car.
Anyone with any information should call Crimestoppers at 245-6660.

The most oft-heard description of the current economic recovery is "slow." (Nonexistent is a distant second.) And hot on the heels of another disappointing jobs report, which put unemployment about 10% for the first time in 26 years, here's some more evidence that the economy may eventually recover fully at some point in the next decade.
The Fed went around and talked to a bunch of banks, and found that only some of them are still tightening credit standards. Which I guess means that the credit crisis is only getting slightly worse more than two years on.
To its credit, the Fed didn't exactly try to sugarcoat the news that only 15% of lenders–be they commercial, industrial or credit-card–were making it tougher to get their money. The central bank said the "tight credit" market is keeping the economy down, and is likely to do so for an "extended period."
Banks may have, for the most part, stopped tightening their loan terms, but, with the exception of prime residential mortgage-seekers, there don't seem to be all that many takers for the loans that they are offering. Demand for loans continued to weaken at banks, albeit at a smaller number.
The Fed is trying to get to the bottom of this conundrum: Asking a special question in the October Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey, Ben's boys learned that banks are originating fewer commercial and industrial loans, and that those who have them aren't using their revolving credit lines that much. Meanwhile, those loans outstanding are getting a little long in the tooth: About three-quarters of banks told the Fed they had extended more than one-quarter of construction and development loans set to mature in September.
So this holiday season, spend, Streeters, spend. Nobody else will be.
Fed Says Fewer Banks Tightened Lending Standards in 3rd Quarter [Bloomberg]

Is It Facebook's Fault if You're Self-Centered?
Does Facebook turn you into a narcissist? This is the question posed (but not answered) by a recent column in the New York Times.
Citing a number of recent students of Facebook users, the Times article described the research so far: Facebook users who tag themselves in photos and frequently update their statuses are more narcissistic; self-centered people are more likely to digitally enhance Facebook photos of themselves, and people with high levels of self-absorption are more likely to spend more than an hour a day on Facebook.
In other words, they exhibit behavior that any parent of a teenager would recognize.
But is it really narcissism? And if so, did Facebook cause it?
"What seems like self-promoting behavior may just reflect a generation growing up in the digital age, where information—including details about personal lives—flows freely and connects us," wrote columnist Tara Parker-Pope.
Parker-Pope noted that researchers found that Twitter actually may be the social medium for the self-centered; there's an association between tweeting about yourself and exhibiting narcissistic behavior (surprise). Wrote Parker-Pope: "That finding alone, I think, is worth tweeting about."
How much time do you spend on Facebook? Do you un-tag every single "bad" photo of yourself? (I do. Does that make me self-centered?)

Hi World :)
I am getting ready to go to my graduation from my program. It's been the most intense year and a half and it flew by in a blink of an eye. I can't believe it's over! This program definitely was harder than college ever was and it's a bittersweet moment now that it's coming to an end.
But it does make me want to twirl around in a pretty skirt and celebrate!
The boyfriend is taking me somewhere to eat and celebrate afterwards but he has kept it all hush hush ;)
Hopefully those plans include some cold sangria because that sounds perfect right about now.
I'm still searching for the perfect pair of nude pumps :)
I'm visiting the Bronx zoo tomorrow with friends then heading to a farewell party for a friend who is going back to Singapore.
I can't wait to finally have a true weekend.....I'm excited to discovery what a "weekend" really is :)

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

As the escalating eurozone crisis has toppled governments in Italy and
Greece, decision-making is increasingly being driven by France, Germany
and a powerful group of Brussels officials.
By Matthew Holehouse
1:15PM GMT 10 Nov 2011
It has been dubbed Europe's Politburo: a "self-appointed body of powerful
individuals prepared to topple national governments if they fail to toe
the line."
The so-called Groupe de Francfort came together last month at a party for
the retiring chief of the European Central Bank, Jean-Claude Trichet.
They met four times at the margins of the G20 summit - and marked
themselves out by sporting GdF lapel badges. But who are the "Groupe de

57, Germany
Position: German Chancellor since November 2005, re-elected in 2009 for
another four years.
Democratically elected? Yes.
Qualifications: Elected to Bundestag in 1990, minister twice. President of
the European Council and lead the G8 in 2007. Now the de facto leader of
the EU.
Quote It is time for a breakthrough to a new Europe. A community that
says, 'Regardless of what happens in the rest of the world, it can never
again change its ground rules', that simply can't survive. I'm convinced
of this. Because the world is changing so much, we must be prepared to
answer the challenges. That will mean more Europe, not less Europe.

56, France
Position: President of the French Republic since May 2007, serving a
five-year term
Democratically elected? Yes
Qualifications: Mayor of Neuilly-sur-Seine, Minister of Budget, Minister
of Finance and Interior Minister. EU president during the 2008 financial
crisis, pushing for G20 summits and financial regulation in the eurozone.
Sent the first fighter jets to back Libyan rebels.
Quote The consequences of a failure of the euro would be so cataclysmic
that we could not possibly entertain the idea. We couldn't even play with
the idea of entertaining the idea... Mrs. Merkel and I will never, never
allow the euro to fail. Never will we allow the euro to be destroyed...
The euro is Europe. Germany and France have known three barbaric wars. Now
Europe is the most stable continent in the world.

Christine Lagarde
55, France.
Position: Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund since July,
for a five year term. Replaced Dominic Strauss Strauss-Kahn following rape
allegations, of which he was later cleared.
Democratically elected? No.
Qualifications: Lawyer, chair of international law firm Baker and
McKenzie, French Minister of Economic Affairs.
QuoteIf we do not act, and act together, we could enter a downward spiral
of uncertainty, financial instability, and a collapse in global demand.

Qualifications: Economist with a PhD from MIT; lead the privatisation
drive from the Italian Treasury and pushed the country into the euro. A
vice president of Goldman Sachs, before being named head of Italy's
central bank after the incumbant resigned in a corruption scandal.
QuoteIt would be pointless to think that sovereign bond rates can stably
be brought down for a protracted period by outside intervention. The first
and foremost responsibility lies with national economic policies. Put your
public finances in order.
Friends say: "Super Mario" (The Italian press)
Foes say: "Mama Mia! For Italians, inflation is a way of life, like tomato

running the ECB.)

Position: President of the European Commission since 2004, re-appointed
for five years in 2009
Democratically elected? No
Qualifications: Portuguese MP since 1985, Foreign Minister, Prime
Minister in 2002-04. Holds 21 honourary degrees.
Quote All the European Union members should have the euro as their
currency. The idea that we have two unions in Europe means disunion... It
was an illusion to think that we could have a common currency and single
market with national approaches to economic and budgetary policy.
Friends say: "Lots of ability, but no strong convictions on anything, and

alone in the globalised world. It is more than an illusion: it is a lie...
The biggest enemy of Europe today is fear. Fear leads to egoism, egoism

Democratically elected? No
Qualifications: DPhil, Oxford; European Commissioner for Enlargement
2004-10; economic adviser to the Finnish PM 2003-04.
Quote Let me be very blunt on this: It's either the EU institutions,
according to our own rules, procedures and democratic accountability, or
the market forces that will do the job. For me, as a committed European
and a committed democrat, the choices are clear.

Qualifications: Prime Minister of Luxembourg since 1995. Minister of
Finance 1989-2009. Owns a pinball machine.
Quote Monetary policy is a serious issue. We should discuss this in
secret, in the Eurogroup. I'm ready to be insulted as being insufficiently
democratic, but I want to be serious... I am for secret, dark debates.
Friends say: "Highly regarded... he is a deep-dyed fanatical federalist"

Foes say: "Master of lies" (Austria's Der Standard)
Europe's Politburo
Britain is approaching a key moment in its post-war history. Do we want to
be closer to - or further away from - the EU's inner core?
8:26PM GMT 07 Nov 2011
Comments121 Comments
At the G20 summit in Cannes at the weekend, a small number of delegates
could be seen sporting lapel badges announcing their membership of the
Groupe de Francfort (GdF). This has become the informal leadership body of
the eurozone, the A-team set up to deal with the crisis - or rather to
continue dithering over what to do about it. Members of the GdF include
Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, and Nicolas Sarkozy, the French
president. The group also comprises the chiefs of the European Commission,
the European Central Bank and the EU Council. It has been called Europe's
Politburo - and the nickname is particularly apposite. For if the European
Union has exhibited one defining characteristic over its lifetime, it has
been a profound dislike of democratic decision-making. The GdF is
something that would have been familiar in the old Soviet Union - a
self-appointed body of powerful individuals prepared to topple national
governments if they fail to toe the line. The GdF met four times on the
sidelines of the Cannes summit, issuing ultimatums to Greece and Italy
that have destabilised the administrations in both countries.
It is touching that the group has been given a French nomenclature when
the most powerful member is clearly Germany. But it does represent a
reassertion of the primacy of the Franco-German bloc that ruled the EU
roost before enlargement. The Union's expansion to 27 members was
encouraged by Britain as a way of diffusing the influence of Paris and
Berlin. Now, the central powers are back in control, with the UK (and
everybody else) once again excluded. We are approaching a key moment in
post-war British history: do we try to force our way back in, or decide
upon a more disengaged relationship with Europe's inner core?

Hey guys, update's gonna be a bit late this week so here's a pretty drawing of Quinn chillaxing with her music.
I've been getting really into watercolor lately so I decided to do color a sketch I had laying around. I see Quinn as a really big music fan (of course) and probably having a large vinyl collection including some old EP's that she's particularly proud of.
Also random fact about Quinn: Her favorite song is Cherry Bomb by The Runaways.
Anyway I've been busy getting my portfolio site up and going so I can hopefully actually make a living as an artist. I've kind of made a switch from digital to more traditional painting (bored with digital work). I've only got a couple of paintings up for sale, but please feel free to check them out if you're interested.
