Anaheim peppers are available in grocery stores in the produce section. As these peppers mature they turn from green to red. They can be used for cooking at any stage but are most often used when still green. Choose fresh chiles with deep colors, avoiding those that look wrinkled or soft.
Anaheim peppers are moderately hot, although their heat depends on where they're grown and how mature they are. Varieties of the pepper grown in New Mexico tend to be hotter than those grown in California, and the mature red ones tend to be hotter than the green. The Anaheim chile varies from light green to dark green to red and grows to between 6 and 10 inches (15-25cm) long and 1 to 2 inches (2.5-5cm) around.
The hotness of peppers is measured in Scoville heat units, and Anaheims have a heat score that ranges between 500 and 2,500. How high a chile pepper scores on the heat scale is determined by high-performance liquid chromatography measurement of parts per million capsaicin. This figure is then converted into the historic Scoville heat units that signify how much dilution is necessary to drown out the chile's heat.

- Companies to Focus Resources on Partnership to Develop Rapid Molecular
Tests for Healthcare-Associated Infections -
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gen-Probe (Nasdaq: GPRO) announced today that 3M has informed the Company it no longer intends to fund the companies' collaboration to develop rapid molecular assays for the food testing industry. The companies expect to formally terminate the collaboration in the coming days.
"Gen-Probe continues to believe that rapid molecular tests have the potential -- over time -- to increase the safety of the world's food supply," said Hank Nordhoff, Gen-Probe's chairman, president and chief executive officer. "In fact, the early technological successes we have achieved reinforce this belief. Nonetheless, our collaboration relies on 3M to assess the commercial readiness of the food testing market and to provide funding for our development efforts. Since 3M has decided not to continue funding our food testing collaboration, we plan to redeploy these resources to other high-value projects, including our separate partnership with 3M to develop rapid molecular tests for healthcare-associated infections."
Despite the expected termination of the food agreement, Gen-Probe
anticipates recording milestone revenue of $2 million in the fourth quarter
of 2007 associated with achieving technological feasibility for potential
food testing assays. This revenue potential was contemplated in the
financial guidance the Company provided on October 30. In 2008, the Company
expects collaborative research revenues to be approximately $2 million less
than previously anticipated due to the absence of development reimbursement
from 3M related to the food testi

I recently worked with a freelancer who was putting together a video for me. The deadline was tight, the project was important, and I was relying heavily on him getting it right the first time. But when the first draft came back a week or so later, I was pretty disappointed. It wasn't at all what I was looking for. In fact, I started to worry if we would even get the project done on time because, in my mind,
4 Red flags you're being hired by a control freak
The last thing you want is to have a control freak hire you as a freelancer. To a freelancer, that's like death. Of course you should always try to make your clients happy. And you should work with them to design a final project you can both be happy with. But there's "working with" and there's "being controlled by." Am I right? You know the kind of person I'm talking about. You've worked with them before. Or at least, you've
Pricing strategy from the pros: 3 entrepreneurs share their pricing method
I'm sure you know the marketing gimmick by now: the reason most retail stores price items at $99.99 instead of $100 is that it tricks the average consumer's mind into believing an item is cheaper than it is. But does this pricing method work for freelancing as well? Does charging $249 – or $249.99 – instead of $250 bring in more clients? I contacted three highly-respected, veteran designers to get their input. Here's what each one has to say (PS,
An easy way to find out if you're passionate enough to freelance
A few days ago, I started work on the 2013 design for this blog. It's my first ever attempt at a seriously responsive site design (about time, I know). PS: You can help me test it before it releases by joining GDB insiders on facebook.

Why your site doesn't convert and 2 tips to butt-kicking conversion
If you have a website, you have it for a purpose. No doubt when planning the website the first issue to be tackled was what you hoped to achieve from the website – what would be its purpose. Once the website is created there are empirical ways to measure whether you have reached your aim. We all know that measurement is called…wait for it… the conversion rate. The skinny on conversion rates The conversion rate relates to the number of
How safe is your "job security"? Is it time to start freelancing?
Hands down, the most common reason GDB readers haven't made the change to start freelancing is because they fear the loss of "job security." And while I'm a huge advocate of having a day job (only if it adds value to your life and lets you pursue your passions in life…remember, don't hate freelancers with full-time jobs), I have to wonder why job security seems to be such an issue. I mean, think about it for just a sec: Which
Entrepreneur vs Freelancer – Is there a difference?
I recently watched a short video on David Siteman Garland's show, The Rise to the Top in which Seth Godin explains the difference between being a freelancer and being an entrepreneur. Here's what he said (in essence): The freelancer A freelancer is someone who basically trades hours for money. If I spend a certain number of hours designing a web site, for example, I can then send an invoice to my client for x number of hours. Under this definition,
Why some freelancers get their way with clients and others don't
Do you sometimes find it hard to get along with your clients? Have you ever spent a long time on the phone or in client meetings trying to convince them why a particular decision is a bad one? Have you ever found yourself frustrated when you can't do what you know is best for your client? Do you hate it when you client has to get their way regardless of the decision being the best one? Well, you're not alone.

Thank you for your beautiful photos! I am a little confused, you have Martha (Richmond) Walker in Goose Hill cemetery, yet the photo of her stone in the group shot is next to Daniel & Sibbel. Should I move the memorials to Goose Hill? Thankfully there are no memorials for them to cause a duplicate. Thanks! Jim

Wheeler memorials Rutland
I created the memorials from a book entitled Monumental inscriptions in the old cemetery at Rutland. The same book I found Beulah Walker in. I am not sure why the others at Goose Hill are in the same book. I will go through the cemetery and check those I created and remove what needs to be. Jim

RE: Rebecca Parmenter King and Daniel King
Yes, sorry for the confusion. I was thinking only you could add the family link but I was wrong. I will add. I too thought it was interesting. I wasn't sure exactly what I was looking at originally. Now I understand. Those sections must have been underground and protected for some time to show that much of a color difference. I will be coming to Rutland for the first time in 2015 to see these graves and to conduct some genealogical research. I can't wait to see the graves. Does the historical society in Rutland have a good collection?

Wow! You have a BIG Christmas present for me. I was so surprised. I will have to contact the cemetery association and give them a donation. I presume they are the ones who made the repair. Thanks so much for giving me a heads up. Have a wonderful holiday season and thank you again for all of the wonderful work you do. I meant to ask before, how did you know all the family links that you have posted on the memorial. Do you do your own independent research on these families? Also, I will send you the memorial number to add to the King family for their daughter, Mary Jane King Lee Smith. She is buried in the Groton Cemetery in Groton, MA.

Should we save our baby's umbilical cord stump?
My sister thinks I should keep my baby's umbilical cord stump for our scrapbook, but I'm not sure. Saving the stump seems a little gross to me. My sister says that my daughter will want to see it someday. What should I do?

I am 6 1/2 months with my first, a girl, and I feel a special bond with her already everytime she moves or has the hiccups. I don't need to keep a gross dried up body part to remind me of how amazing it is to have someone you have helped to create living and growing in your belly. And I know I will feel the same when she is born, the bond we will have as mother and daughter will be all the special moments we share together in the years to come.posted 04/07/2006 by a BabyCenter Member

If you think it's gross, chances are your daughter will think it's gross and never want to see it. Your sister sounds like she's a few sandwiches short of a picnic to me.posted 02/14/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
With my first child, I saved her cord. With my 2nd and 3rd - I did not. My 1st was not quite interested in it and was *grossed out* when I showed her at 8 yrs old... Somewhere along the way, it got lost.. either fell out of her scrap book, or she took it out. In any instance, it may be 'gross' to you, but, consider your child... At least give them the option to keep it. I couldn't keep my 2nd child's cos it had gotten infected (daddy didn't do bath time right, dr said).. And 3rd child, well, his fell off and I never saw it. I would of kept them if I were able to. Doesn't hurt to keep them... Just like locks of hair - I cut a small piece of each of my kids' hair off and have it as a keep sake. And for my 4th child - if I am able to, I will keep the cord stub and also get a clipping of his hair.posted 02/12/2006 by Becca_Quimby

They did an excellent job. In this day and age and the generation we are in, I have to say it was very refreshing to hear than you and mean it. See you again!
very good service all around-always a pleasure doing business with the excellent people at U-Haul.
Mr Murphy was a great help.
Patrick was great, friendly, and first class all the way!
This location is a very "user friendly" one. The managers and staff know what they are doing and can answer all your questions. The facility is spotless and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
Very accommodating
This location was very professional as well the individuale that helped me was great to work with, and he had a great attitude.
I wanted a 10 or 14 foot truck and got a van. The van was dirty inside and had mud going all down the side of it and inside of it. I ordered a regular dolly and was given an appliance dolly . I was told the dolly would be free and then he charged me for it and said oh well I forgot. overall wont be back to this location for rentals or U-Haul at all. As this I cleaned out my storage unit here and moved to another non U-Haul place.
Make sure there is an employee in the office ready to assist a customer that has an appointment at 9 am with no one assisting that customer for 50 minutes. Then when the customer contacted the female older employee she demanded why wehad not called the manager our selves..that is not the customers duties...the office should b staffed and prepared for the customers.
Nothing really. Recommend this location due to extended drop off hours and ample maneuvering room.
Everything went well, no complaints.
Very helpful and good, thank you. I just wish I did't lose time unloaded and Loading the trailer again. I lost all that time to get where I was going which was from Nevada to Florida.
charge the price that is confirmed on the internet site, don't try and double it hoping a sucker wont see the change.
Hey people, I would like to give a shout out to Patrick Murphy, hands down he did an excellent job of making my moving a breeze, very helpful, kind, respectful. Thx Patrick for making it easy on me, keep up the good work. People check this place out, awesome rentals, storage and staff, until next time, " peace"
I would like to say, thank-you to Patrick and John, they made the process of renting a storage unit and a truck the right way. Both were friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to answer all my questions. Thx Patrick and John, keep up the good work, I'm sending everyone that needs your services.
I have never remembered renting a truck from a cleaner U-Haul. The person that helped us was just incredible, just like dealing with a good friend. The experience was the best that I have ever had with U-Haul . . . . . Bravo
Next time someone calls to find out how much it costs, don't just tell them that it will be $40 plus whatever on each mile. A bill of maybe $60 was on my mind but when I was done, it was $88 and an extra $12 for the additional gas. $40 to $100 was NOT AT ALL what I was expecting!
From pick-up to drop off, a completely wonderful experience. Super friendly and efficient. Excellent!
Most wonderful experience of my entire move. These people are excellent representatives of U-Haul.
instructions on where to drop the trailer on return
The man working there is always so kind and sweet he makes the place shine just with his customer service

I should warn you to expect Ben to take a back seat to Eli most of this year - the media cant enough of that famed Manning bloodline lmfao.
Ok, it's obvious that you are not really worth my time...but I will comment on this anyways. First off, in another thread you are sitting there crying about the lack of respect toward your team, but yet you are the one trolling on our board.
How can you sit there and say our running game was overrated? How (please inform us)?? they were ranked #2 in the league for a reason...
Now on to Bettis. Yes, at the beginning of the season, Bettis was the BACK-UP and when called upon did what the team needed him to do (score touchdowns). However, when Duce went out...Bettis came in and showed everyone he was not washed up, like most believed. The 6 weeks Staley was out, Bettis rushed for over 100 yrs in every game. So say what you will about Bettis...but you won't win an agrument here. (Oh and by the way...he is back and has stated that this year he wants the ball less, but don't think for one second, if he is called upon, he will not do his job).
If duce stays healthy, I have all confindence that he will be able to perform the same way he did last year (in the games he played)...he has shown no reason why he wouldn't!
Now on to Ben...I am honestly not even going to comment, because I am kind of tired of the Ben threads and having to defend him. I will just let him do his talking on the field when the time comes. If you want to know how I feel about him in this upcoming season...just search the forum...it's been talked about entirely too much...and it's not worth it. Oh and by the way... I hope the media does get away from Ben...you wont see me upset one bit (so please don't hurt my feelings there).
So quit crying about the so called lack of respect we supposedly give your team, and realize we don't have to like you to respect you.
Like I have said before, I respect what the Pats have accomplished, the class the organization has showed during it, and the true fans that don't go trolling other boards and actually come over to talk football and have some fun smack talking (BUT USING FACTS (like hardwork and Dirtywater)...and not ignorance to back up what they say)
Ok, I'm done for now...I just had to rant for a bit...sorry for the long post guys!

We've considered this question for Abracadabra repeatedly. She currently has a pressurized alcohol stove which we've no yet lit and likely never will. (While we were still debating rebuilding it and lighting it up, temporary slip neighbours that had been cruising for 27 years: "Oh, don't worry about it. We used ours for over 20 years and only ever had three flare-ups. Only one of them almost caught the boat afire." Meanwhile his wife is standing behind him shaking her head emphatically. That decided us.)
We certainly don't want to be hanging propane bottles off the stern rail and have hose running from there to the galley. There is a place we could have a vented propane locker installed, and it wouldn't even take away any currently-used space. It would require probably very expensive glass work, tho. It would be neat, but probably ain't gonna happen.
So we'll probably eventually swap the pressurized alcohol stove out for a non-pressurized alcohol stove, either an Origo or Cookmate.

Reporters quickly began looking at the larger picture — especially the relationship between policy and abusive interrogation techniques — and ended up writing some remarkable stories. Indeed, most of what we now know about detainee abuse was uncovered — or simply flogged with previously absent vigor — during the first few months after Abu Ghraib.
The bar was set by Seymour Hersh's New Yorker story on May 10, 2004, which had details of a military investigation "not meant for public release" into the Abu Ghraib abuses that cited unclear interrogation policies and lax oversight. Two weeks later, The New York Times uncovered a few of the techniques that had been approved for the CIA, among them "water boarding," a centuries-old method in which prisoners are strapped down and made to feel they're drowning.
In June, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post detailed yet more memos of the administration's decision to remove restrictions on abusive interrogations. One memo, written by administration lawyers, redefined "torture," saying it must rise to "to the level of death, organ failure, or the permanent impairment of a significant body function." Another memo concluded that "the prohibition against torture must be construed as inapplicable to interrogations undertaken pursuant to [the] commander in chief's authority."
Less than three weeks after CBS's Abu Ghraib report, Newsweek published a long investigative feature mapping out the policy decisions that had justified detainee abuse. As Newsweek put it, while the White House almost certainly did not order the specific abuses photographed at Abu Ghraib, a series of memos cited by the magazine led it to conclude that President Bush, "along with Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, and Attorney General John Ashcroft, signed off on a secret system of detention and interrogation that opened the door to such methods."
Oval Office President George W. Bush, center, speaks with the media in 2006 alongside, from left, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and former Secretary of State Colin Powell (AP Photo/Ron Edmonds)
Newsweek's May 24, 2004, piece was a remarkable bit of reporting. It was also an example of how a "scoop" can result less from new disclosures than the fresh eyes with which old information is viewed. Chief among the magazine's seeming revelations was a January 2002 memo, "obtained by Newsweek," detailing the president's conclusion that Taliban and al Qaeda suspects were not covered by the Geneva Conventions. The memo, written by Alberto Gonzales, then White House counsel, and later endorsed by the president, contained language that would become infamous. Gonzales wrote that the "new paradigm" of the fight against al Qaeda rendered "quaint" and "obsolete" Geneva protections. (Gonzales's analysis was summarily dismissed this year by the US Supreme Court in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld.)
Newsweek was certainly right to flag the memo. But the truth is that the president's decision that the US wouldn't be bound by the Geneva accords had been publicly announced in February 2002, albeit in hedged and even misleading language. The president had said then that al Qaeda detainees weren't covered by Geneva protections but should still be treated "humanely and, to the extent appropriate and consistent with military necessity, in a manner consistent with the principles" of the Geneva Conventions. (Though it wasn't publicly known then, the president had exempted the CIA from even that loose "humane" edict.) At the time, Rumsfeld dismissed any criticism of the decision as "isolated pockets of international hyperventilation."
The Gonzales memo became the big revelation in Newsweek's piece, with the memo's jarring language being quoted endlessly by pundits and talking heads. It was a discussion a long time in the making: Gonzales's memo was first uncovered and quoted not by Newsweek after Abu Ghraib but by the Washington Times — two years earlier.
Back then, there was little outrage. The paper's piece focused on how Secretary of State Colin Powell objected to the lack of protections for al Qaeda and Taliban suspects and, according to "administration sources," was "bowing to pressure from the political left." Gonzales's conclusions that the Geneva protections were "quaint," quoted in the original Washington Times piece, were not again cited until Newsweek did so two years later.
Whether they looked at old information anew or delivered genuine revelations, what the post-Abu-Ghraib stories clarified is that the administration had specifically approved a kind of "torture-lite" for the CIA and the military special forces. They also made clear that the military's rules for interrogations had morphed from a clear stance — no abuse — into a mishmash of ever-changing rules and directives, and that as a result, abuse coursed through the system.
The interrogations at Guantanamo were, as one military investigator testified, "a California Avocado Freestyle kind of a thing." The investigator explained, "It was hard to go beyond the guidance because there was almost no guidance."

Monday marked four years since Kauai resident Amber Jackson was killed and there still have been no arrests in the cold case.
In July 2010, Jackson's body was found in a remote wooded area in Kealia. An autopsy showed she had been assaulted.
The 57-year-old Hawaii State Teacher's Association employee had been reported missing.
Anyone who may have information on this case is asked to call Kauai police.

Companies Blocking YouTube and Video Content
I have embeded a YouTube Video into a site of mine and that is all
working fine. But certain companies have blocked YouTube at work, so
when some one goes to the site all they see is an empty block.
Is there a way I can tell if a company is blocking the video (similar
to checking if some one has a flash player) so that I can display
alternative content?

Sunset Overdrive's Arsenal Will Match Ratchet and Clank's
Back in the 1990s Insomniac Games made their name on cartoonish action franchises like Ratchet & Clank and Spyro the Dragon. Their next title, Sunset Overdrive, is a return to form for the developer, and the team updated us on just how their old games are influencing their new one.
In a Q&A on the developer's site, Insomniac promised that at the game's launch, the selection of armaments for Sunset Overdrive "is about as large as the biggest Ratchet & Clank arsenal!" Presumably there will be even more weapons in future DLC packs. They went on to describe several of the weapons, such as the shotgun-like Roman Candle Gun, the Captain Ahab, which drops a pool of enemy-attracting Overdrive in addition to dealing huge damage to a single target, and the Turret Copter, a fire-and-forget drone. They also promised the return of the weapon wheel found in Ratchet & Clank.
Online multiplayer was discussed in the Q&A, though Insomniac was tight-lipped about details. They did state that there will be online co-op multiplayer, and that it would be a big part of the game, but there was no mention of head-to-head online modes.
Insomniac reiterated that the game will feature a robust customization suite, and announced that male and female characters will have access to all clothing options; "don't forget that the clothing items (which there are tons of) are completely equippable by anyone. So, if you want to be a dude in a skirt – go for it. It's the awesomepocalypse. Wear what you want."
Finally, the game's day/night system was detailed. Sunset Overdrive won't feature a full day/night cycle, but some sections of the game will be set at night. Insomniac explained, "There will be parts of the game that take place at night, yes, but if you are just strutting around the city for a while – the time of day doesn't change."
Sunset Overdrive is an Xbox One exclusive, and is set to release later this year. Be sure to stay tuned for our coverage from E3, where we should learn more on Insomniac's latest title.

Hi all, I haven't been here for awhile. After not having violets for years,I just purchased a couple AVS from ebay and I'm trying to prepare a small light stand for them. Instead of 2 4 ft fluorescent fixtures, I opted for two LIghts of America fixtures I found at Walmart. Question: how far away from each other should the lights be? I plan to put them side by side for better flowering. A foot between them? Anyone? Thank you ahead of time! |
Follow-Up Postings:
The important is - what are your tubes? T12s, T8s, T5s? If you are talking about 24" single T8 grow sticks WM sells - they are good, probably 10- 12 inches above the plants/ 6-7 inches between the lights will be just right - but... After the tube dies - you won't be able to find a replacement. Or it will be more twice more expensive than fixture with tube. They are non-standard length. if you got 48" - I do not know. Fixtures from WM are inexpensive and do not last at all. I got tired of replacing them - now I go to Home Depot and pay twice more. In this case - I replace the tubes, not the fixtures. I. |
Hi Irina, Thanks for replying. I got the smaller tube fixture, which is 2ft long, so the tubes are definitely not the standard size. I noticed that Home Depot sells different sizes of T8 tubes, which is good. At least these fixture use only 27 watts each. That is very economical. Did you remove the plastic light covers? Seems that they would be brighter that way. Did you remove the housing from the fixtures? |
Jenn - I remove only the plastic light cover. Not really understand what do you mean by housing. I. |
I meant the plastic cover. Other people have called that the housing. I will also remove those. So far both lights are working. Now I'm waiting for the Russian "Winter Smiles" and "Sparkleberry". |
I grew both of them. "Winter Smiles - like a lot of them from late Russian hybridizer B. Makuni - are not easy to grow - blossoms are great - the plant - challenging. Do not keep just one plant - put the leaf down as soon as possible. Sparkleberry = is really gorgeous if you look at the flowers under the lights. On natural light - they do not show that well. i. |

The Poet Forgets Jazz
A poem for wordsmith Richard Roe

Currently the south-central region vice president for the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets, he has ten books published to date in the fields of science fiction, fantasy, poetry, literary biography and baseball history, including a third collection of poetry, Dancing with Poltergeists, from Popcorn Press. He writes about another impressive poet, the elegant wordsmith Richard Roe. — Fabu
– For Richard Roe
Even though music has been in his blood
All his life. The word no longer exists.
The people are now janitors, code clerks,
Railroadmen, hotel porters, criminals…
With a slight variation he now believes it
The end product of sexual congress.
He goes to heavy metal concerts,
Listens to gangsta rap—but only in the music
Of Stravinsky, particularly Petroushka,
Does he catch a glimpse of what might have been.
He sits, day after day, in the vestibules
Of libraries, reviewing old tapes, hoping,
Praying that some day, some one
Will come up with some thing different.

REVIEWS Reviewed by 3 customers Sort by Displaying reviews 1-3 Pros
Best Uses Comments about Boiron Gasalia, for Gas, 60 ea: I prefer homeopathic medications or more natural ones IF they are effective. If not, or they're as troublesome as this one is, they're not worth it. This medication requires that you dissolve 2 chalky unpleasant tablets every 15 minutes for an hour to relieve symptoms. I find taking 8 pills over the course of an hour to relieve symptoms: ridiculous, when there are much simpler, quicker products available. Furthermore, I didn't find it to be as effective as Gas-X. Of course that might, in part, be due to forgetting to take it every 15 minutes over the course of an hour. Ridiculous. Pros
Cons Best Uses

And even though it works after one or 2 little meltaway tablets, there is no limit on how much you can take - unlike the OTC brands which have a limit, which says to me that it can be harmful. Pros
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Boiron Gasalia, for Gas, 60 ea: I have tried many different products and have not been impressed. They just didn't work for me or contained animal products. I absolutely love this product!!! It works very quickly and reduces that bloated/fullness feeling & the pain associated with it. There's no bad taste or smell & they're small pills that are extremely easy to take. I will never be without this item - in fact I keep some at home and in my purse at all times.

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.

ATTRIBUTION: Stratfor source
SOURCE DESCRIPTION: Political adviser to Siniora
SUGGESTED DISTRIBUTION: analysts
SPECIAL HANDLING: n/a
Lebanese officials' reception of undersecretary of state Jeffrey Feltman
and national security consultant on the Middle east Daniel Shapiro was
cordial but conspicuously less than warm, considering that Lebanese
officials usually shower US envoys with warmth. My source says the main
reason for their lukewarmth was a suggestion by Feltman and Shapiro that
Lebanon launches its own peace track with Israel under Turkish auspices.
The American team told Lebanese prime minister Fuad Seniora that a
Lebanese-Israeli peace track parallel to that of Syria-Israel should
expedite the entire peace process. My source says the recent meeting
between the Turkish and Israeli ministers of foreign affairs took place at
the prodding of the USA who wants Turkey to reactivate its peace efforts
between Syria and Israel, and to prepare for expanding them to include
another track between Israel and Lebanon. The Turks are eager to go ahead
with this endeavor, especially after US president Obama has chosen Turkey
as the Muslim country from which to address the Islamic world.
The Lebanese government is not keen to the idea of launching peace talks
with Israel. Hizbullah will never allow such talks to proceed without
creating public uproar. Seniora's primary concern is that winning Syria
over does not necessarily mean curbing HZ, whose reins are in Tehran, and
not Damascus.

Members of the public are asked for their cooperation in not attending the Active Shooter Drill
"This training drill is intended to prepare deputies for an active response to a shooter," said Sergeant Dean Currie, Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Department.
The mock active shooter drill is meant to better prepare law enforcement officials to provide for the safety of students and staff if any type of emergency or threatening situation takes place on the school campus.
It is a cooperative effort between the Hart District and the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Department. By hosting the training exercises at a school facility, it allows for a synergetic cooperation between the two. School staff is able to provide viable information to law enforcement officers regarding specific target areas on campus, and the sheriff's department is able to customize strategies to subdue potential perpetrators based on the layout of each campus.
"We try to do training drills on campus to make deputies familiar with Santa Clarita Valley school campuses," said Sergeant Dean Currie, Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Department.
"So when we get a call, law enforcement officers are already prepared and have general idea of how the campus is laid out," according to his statement.
The training exercise will incorporate both students and school administrators in facilitating the training drill by playing the roles of victims, bystanders, or shooters.
The mock drill will involve a call that potential shooters are on campus and law enforcement officers will respond to discover the position of the perpetrators and attempt to render the situation harmless. After the exercise, students and teachers will debrief and discuss the importance of the training session and the various responsibilities of adult and students in a time of crises.

Smoke generator
Hello all, I recently completed a smoke generator made from 4" square tube. It is a low outlet style. It seems to work very well, but the gravity feed is not working very well.
I am using maple which I have run through my chipper/ shredder. I am thinking that perhaps the chips are too stringy and light and are binding together. Has anyone else experienced this and found a simple solution? I really would like to continue to make my own chips. |
The consistency of the chips I am using.http://members.shaw.ca/mistertom/IMG245.jpg
The prototype model.
http://members.shaw.ca/mistertom/IMG253.jpg http://members.shaw.ca/mistertom/IMG246.jpg |
The bottom of the firebox slants downward to the air inlet to allow ash to fall out (hopefully)! The bottom is made from steel angle inclined at 30 degrees.
http://members.shaw.ca/mistertom/IMG252.jpg http://members.shaw.ca/mistertom/IMG248.jpg |
Although you cannot see it, the smoke outlet pipe protrudes very little into the box and is cut away on the bottom side. The chips in the photo are still wet, but I did oven dry some to test it. It lights with a match in seconds, smokes very well, however it only smokes for a few minutes before the fuel at the bottom is exhausted and the fire stops.
I will try a weight on top of the chips, but think that might cause them to jam up more. Any suggestions? |
I'm thinking pellets would be your best bet in that device.
I would reverse it and blow the air through the top with a venturi effect this will also help to draft the burning up the fuel load.
When looking at others I noticed both styles. I can always build another to try it out. |
I built several a year or two back, pellets work the best in mine;

That is nice looking! I will have to get some pellets to try.
i'm a bit confused by yer design. but the chips you are using are to long thus allowing them to jam against the sidewall of the smoker. just make the chips or shredded pices not as long and it should be ok.
here is some basic designs, http://www.wedlinydomowe.com/smokeho...moke-generator |
I am doing smoke/grill by gravity feed burner.
I know what I am saying COLD smoker can not use gravity feed. Only if you burn fuel in flame, you burn fuel to ash and ash drops down through grate. But if fuel burns in flame, it is not COLD smoking. Also your fuel will form Bridge Blocking, gravity feed does not work on your chips. There is a very simple method to make your smoke generator workable |

text: Quoted from Dr. Erin Kinney I remember the first time I read about it: A diet based on the type of blood flowing through my veins? What could that have to do with anything? Well, in actuality the type of blood your heart has been pumping all your life could dictate which foods will decrease your risk for heart disease. In fact, your blood type and its relationship with your body could also be responsible for those extra pounds you can't seem to lose.While some criticize the blood type diet, calling it a 'fad diet' with little foundation in nutritional history, researchers have actually revealed impressive scientific evidence to support Dr. Peter D'Adamo's blood type diet.

Lucius knew from the start they were on to something special. Centered around the powerful voices and compelling songwriting of Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, the Brooklyn band has evolved from a promising duo into a dynamic quintet whose 2013 debut LP WILDEWOMAN (Mom + Pop) is lauded by The New York Times as "an art school take on girl group soul." Lucius continues to develop the memorable visual look the band employs onstage — "dressing the sound," they call it. Taking inspiration from strong visual artists, and citing Bjork, Bowie, Warhol and Prince as style icons, the women are bedecked in a seemingly endless array of identical head-to-toe ensembles, complemented by the men's sharp, tailored style. Fresh off a year of acclaimed performances and rave reviews, Lucius' steady ascent shows no signs of retreat. 2014 brings Lucius to a worldwide audience with WILDEWOMAN's release in Europe, the UK, Australia and Japan (PIAS, March 2014), plus tour dates throughout the UK and Europe, appearances on some of the biggest U.S. summer festivals and more.

Fantastic product !!!!
I cannot say enough about this product and like Veronica, I have become completely addicted to this product, also keeping a large bottle at work and a smaller size for when I'm out and about or travelling! It has become part of my morning routine is an instant skin boost throughout the day. Its' light easily absorbed and has delightful refreshing scents which are divine! I recently went to a 4 day music festival and the product never left my bag. My skin feels clean, fresh and fantastic after a few spritzes. One of the best beauty products I have ever come across!!

Yes it does appear to be smoother, especially around the lower rev range, and quieter only slightly though it is a diesel lol. Also keep hearing a quiet dull , i suppose knock would be the best way to describe it, like when you have a chipping stuck in your tyre and you have the window open faster you go the faster the tick the slower etc etc however this knock I can't pinpoint and can only be heard in motion, think its def front half central part of the car. But I don't believe this is related in any way to the egr blank.

sorry couldn't find how to add photo from build thread to here.
Many Thanks to Lenny for his guide, and all of you who have contributed.

Today I took the bull by the horns ... so to speak, and set about installing the second reverse light,. Overnight the epoxy set (and boy is it strong as I gave it a good old test) Cut away the inside of the bumper to allow the extra bulb holder to fit..
Hardest thing for me was to wire the new loom into the old one above the exhaust I have jcb hands and jeez was it tight, must of took best part of 2 hours just to splice in and tape.
Anyway checked the normal fog, looks slightly pink to me through the clear lens :/
Next the big test will it work first time ... normal bulbs in at the moment, as I didnt have cree's to hand at the minute, the new reverse picks up the shadow of the fog light bulb as you can see in the pic, hopefully this will look better when cree's are fitted.
sorry about the clarity, but it was blowing a gale when I took the twin light shot
Many thanks to the guide by lenny and all those members who contributed to that thread.

Finally did it no more gapping hole in the console
Boy did it get warm in the footwell went in through the drivers lower trim panel, finally loosened the clips on the power output socket but there was a cylindrical (sp) shape piece of plastic I could not budge what so ever, I ended up chewing it off with long nose pliers
Saw what my mistake was straight off in thinking there should be 3 connectors, the lighter itself has a 2into1 block and I found the illumination wire as stated by you kind folks bent back on itself and taped up. (you dont get much slack to attach these connectors)
All in and working as it should. No one! smokes in my car lol its too clean inside. I just didn't like the void behind the gear stick, but as it could be illuminated I wanted it working
Now to wrap or not to wrap :/
many thanks for you guys taking the time to help out it is much appreciated.

Hawaii Residents Who Double Paid Taxes Getting Refunds
Wednesday, August 6, 2014
(Honolulu, HI) -- Hawaii residents who mistakenly were charged double on recent tax bills will soon be getting refund checks. The "Star Advertiser" says the state Tax Department has begun notifying those who mistakenly were charged twice that they will be getting refund checks in the mail and don't have to do anything further. Officials say there was some confusion because some residents received new tax notices after they had already sent in checks for the tax bills close to the April 20th deadline. It's unclear how many people were ultimately double-billed. Tax officials say the refunds should arrive in about two to three weeks.

Android fragmentation forced Google to cut WebView support for 930 million devices
Adobe has posted a Flash Player update to address security flaws which the company says are being actively targeted in the wild.
The company said that the update applies to the Windows, OS X, Linux and Android versions of the media plug-in. The fix will address a pair of critical vulnerabilities which, if targetted, can allow an attacker to remotely execute code on a targeted system.
According to Adobe, one of the vulnerabilities is being actively targeted against Windows users by embedding Flash attack code within Word documents. Users are then tricked into opening the document and executing the Flash exploit.
Another vulnerability addressed in the update, claims Adobe, is being exploited on the OS X platform via attack sites. When the user loads the attack site on Safari, the malicious code is triggered and the exploit is launched.
Due to the reports of active exploits in the wild, the company is making the update a top priority for Windows and OS X users. The update is considered to be a lower deployment priority for Linux and Android devices at this time.
In addition to manually updating their versions of Flash Player users running Windows 8 PCs can obtain the patch by updating to the latest version of Windows 10. Similarly, users running Chrome on Windows, OS X and Linux can get the patch by updating their browser to the most recent build.

the effect works in the tutorial that i did on webreference, but when i try to recreate the effect it doesnt

Try these changes:
I think that you should use margins instead of offsets (top, right, bottom, left) to move around with elements. That tends to work better. Relative positioning is unfortunately associated with many bugs in IE.Code:#main { width:100%; margin:0px; /* padding:1px; */ background:#FFFFFF; } #midCol { position:relative; visibility:visible; top:5px; /* left:165; */ /* width:inherit; */ margin-left: 154px; margin-right: 154px; /* height:100%; */ }

Re-Engineer The Relationship Between Insurance Tech Buyers And Sellers
Posted by Ellen Carney on July 15, 2009
[Posted by Ellen Carney]
Insurance IT buyers have distinct preferences when it comes to how they learn about new technology. Tech vendors think IT buyers learn about the hottest technology because of the bright, shiny stuff that their marketing organizations spend all kinds of time and money producing. Wrong.
Like most other industries, insurance IT "shoppers" do surf the Web, read the tech trade and business rags, and visit trade shows. But unlike other industries, insurers are much more likely to want to take someone along on the shopping excursion, leading Forrester to call them "conversational shoppers". Often, that "someone" is the tech vendor sales rep.
Forrester recently sat down with a few insurance CIOs and asked what they got from vendor sales reps and what they wished they got. Here are two examples:
"I get all kinds of business examples, case studies, and examples of other companies using their stuff. What do I wish I got? I want to know the next big thing I should be thinking about now."
"I can usually tell pretty early if they understand my business. What I wish is that they'd be more comfortable talking about price, since I need to know if I'm in the ballpark. The ones that are comfortable talking price know they have a good product that they can stand behind."
Insurers frequently turn to their vendor sales reps to fill in a big missing piece--what's out there that can solve my business problem — but too often, the opportunity to build a deep and trusted relationship with an insurer isn't seized. Rather, the sale rep essentially "reads" the prospect the collateral, when they could be providing that insurance buyer with something more valuable — insight about the technology and how other carriers and producers, and even other industries, are using it.
Tech marketers need to provide their sales teams with the kind of insights that can turn their sales reps into "information authorities". That means building confidence in their industry and technical knowledge by arming them with primary research, analyst reports or even capturing snippets from the sales organization that can be shared to prove that they really "get" the insurance biz and the technology that they're trying to position.

More reviews by dianelarsenemail
I like this mascara very much for 2 reasons: 1. it does not smudge throughout the day 2. i love the applicator brush (extends and lengthens lashes). I have used other mascara's where the applicator brush is so thick and bulky that my eye ends up looking like i got punched if i don't put it on properly. This brush is a little bit thinner so you can easily manage the coverage that you prefer. I usually do about 3-4 coats which makes my lashes look longer, fuller, and sexier.
This is my fave mascara I have used and I have tried a lot!! I went out and bought this mascara after watching Carlibel55 rave about it on her youtube channel. I don't normally spend $26 on a mascara but I wanted something good! Love it!!!! I didn't realize how long my lashes could get until I used this. For day to day a coat or two gives length but is still not ott but for nights out lashings of it looks amazing!! You just have to be patient in maneuvering the little teeth and at first the mascara may seem runny but give it a week and it seems to settle a little but give it time it is absolutely worth it!
I have used so many mascaras in the past few years but this one surprised me by being the absolute best! I was intrigued by the tiny bristles and thought that it might leave my stick-straight lashes stuck together and clumpy; however, it did just the opposite! I usually curl my lashes with a Shiseido eyelash curler and apply two coats of mascara, waiting for them to dry a little and curling in between coats. This really coats each individual lash and it's really hard for me to find a mascara that will lengthen while holding a curl throughout the day. It's unbelievable how amazing my lashes look after applying this, and for those of you that have short, sparse lashes like me, I recommend taking your index finger and holding it gently against your top lashes for a few seconds while giving it a curl, once the mascara is almost dry. I discovered this trick after using countless products and it really gives your lashes that extra lift.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Nope. It's a wet gooey mess that makes my lashes stick together. It doesn't hold a curl and I get no volume.
Goods: Nice wet/black mascara. I like it that it gives me spidery lashes, which is lengthening and volumizing at the same time. I like the packaging of it. I love it that I can use it alone and still achieve the lashes I want.
Bad: The bad thing about this mascara is that sometimes it gets too wet that it can get on your upper lid. You would have to apply a few coats before making your lashes fuller.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Good mascara, with a nice formula, not too dry not too wet, gives lots of lenghts and even some volume to my lashes. Doesn't smudge or flake through the day and keeps a decent curl.
HOWEVER, I find the brush very annoying. It's very slim and the rubber bristles are very short, which means it takes me a lot longer than I'd like to get the desired effect. It's quite hard to get the inner and outer lashes and it's very easy to get your lashes clumped together. Which is why I took a lippie off.
If you're willing to spend a little longer putting your mascara on, and deal with the fact that it may need combing through afterwards, this mascara is a good choice!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I just bought this mascara yesterday since I heard so many positive reviews about it. It's not that expensive for a drugstore mascara and the packaging is cute, shaped like a telescope which I found clever. The brush on this mascara is really different, it was the first thing I noticed, the formula actually only goes on the base of the brush and not the ends of the bristles. I guess that is so the little bristles comb through the lashes while applying the formula right after it's combed out. I liked how my lashes look with only one coat, but I already have really long lashes so I don't need much help. I also liked how it separated the lashes because of the firm bristles combing them. I don't particularly like wet formulas for mascara but this one was okay because the brush doesn't deposit TOO much product. It is only okay with more than one coat, I'm going to keep using this and see if i can get the hang of it to make my lashes look perfect, I think this mascara definitely has potential.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This product is really good for lengthening and defining. It separates your lashes really well and the best part of it is is that it doesn't clump whatsoever because of its unique small bristled brush. However, it doesn't give a lot of volume, so if you want a voluminous and lengthened mascara look, I recommend putting this on after you put a voluminizing mascara on. The price is pretty cheap and the packaging is unique as well - the brush coats each one of your lashes.
Overall a good buy! Will be repurchasing for sure.
This is my favourite budget mascara! It's cheap and the brush is fantastic making the lashes long with a lot of volume. I LOVE IT! I'm never buying another mascara ever again.
this is probably one of the best drugstore mascaras.. it holds a curl (this is huge when it comes to non-waterproof mascaras), defines, separates, and adds a bit of length to my lashes. my lashes also appear more full because the short bristles allow mascara to be applied to every lash, including the short puny ones. because of how well this mascara defines and separate every lash while holding a curl, my eyes really open up and my lashes look a bit doll-like. it doesn't smudge, flake, or disappear throughout the day and is easy to remove. my only gripe with it is that it's one of the more expensive drugstore mascaras.
tip: this mascara is really wet when first opened and easily overcoats the lashes on the first handful of applications, but if you give it a week or 2 to dry out, the formula becomes more easily workable. i don't even need a lash comb to achieve the look i want after the initial week or so. continued >>
