Dead body found inside home east of Flagstaff
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- Northern Arizona authorities are investigating the death of a woman found inside a home near Flagstaff.
Coconino County Sheriff's officials say the body of the 27-year-old woman was discovered about 11:30 a.m. Friday in Cosnino. That's a residential neighborhood east of Flagstaff off Interstate 40.
Sheriff's emergency dispatchers received the report that someone had been shot at the home.
Investigators say they're trying to determine if it's a homicide or if the victim died from of a self-inflicted wound.
The name of the woman hasn't been released yet.

Academy award-winning documentary director Vikram Jayanti has made films about record producer and convicted murderer Phil Spector, crime-fiction writer James Ellroy and Russian chess master Gary Kasparov, among others, and is well aware of the potential problems of working with people who live high-profile lives.
But Jayanti and other documentary-makers who make films about people in the public eye continue to be attracted to what some call the "celebrity documentary" genre – because the rewards can be very revealing films.
"Most celebrities can be monsters with large egos; they like things their way," says Jayanti, whose current project is a film of Australian entertainer Rolf Harris for BBC2's Arena called Rolf Harris Paints His Dream. The film will be presented in rough-cut form at the Sheffield Doc/Fest.
Jayanti says that although Harris was the exception to his experience, working with celebrities is usually painful. "But it's always rewarding as a film-maker. Their vanity can provide a dynamic tension that gives a level of deep access that they are not aware of."
Dynamic tension
Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg, co-directors of Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, which will have its UK premiere at the Sheffield Doc/Fest with Joan Rivers in attendance, were never short of dynamic tension as they trailed the 75-year-old comedian through a year of her life. "It was all access, all the time, even at six in the morning when Joan would have no makeup on," says Stern.
"I think the 'real' Joan is in the everyday scenes with her. She's 'on' all the time; her way of interacting with people is genuinely very funny. She's not a comedian who broods and doesn't want to speak. She enjoys being the crack-up in the room. She says she doesn't like to be the comedian at the dinner table, but she is always the funniest person."
The problem for the documentary-makers was not lack of access to Rivers, instead it was how to balance a film about a funny and hard-working comedian who has had a fair share of personal tragedy in her life, including the suicide of her husband/manager. "It was deliberate in the interviews and the editing that it had to have a bittersweet tone and not be overly light or fun or even serious, otherwise it would have played like a TV docu-soap," says Stern.
Figuring out how to present an honest view of a high-profile person is the key to a good celebrity documentary that strives to be more than a Hello!-magazine style re-hash of a celebrity's life. Documentary-maker Adam Low says that deciding where to draw the line was very important when he filmed Nobel prize-winning writer VS Naipaul for BBC's Arena series.
"You have to know what your responsibilities are," says Low. "If I didn't ask VS about his mistress and visits to prostitutes during his first marriage then I wouldn't have been doing my job. You're not necessarily going to sit down at your first meeting and ask him about those things, but when they realise that you're not only going to talk about that area, then it becomes easier."
Low's latest film, Alan Bennett and the Habit of Art, about the eponymous British playwright, will also have its premiere at Sheffield Doc/Fest and be shown later this year on Channel 4. Low says his challenge in this film was to build enough trust with the notoriously shy Yorkshireman. Initially Bennett laid down strict rules for the documentary-makers that limited their access but during filming Bennett unexpectedly gave Low his personal diaries.
"When Alan was assured that we were serious in our intentions and it was not a smash-and-grab affair, he sent me 10 photocopied pages of more-or-less unedited diaries. While it was not scandalous, it was revealing about him."
Alan Bennett and the Habit of Art and Rolf Harris Paints His Dream are screening at Sheffield Doc/Fest on 7 November

Heilan Coo Fluff
Tuesday, 30 September 2014 by Disaelfr
Isn't she a beauty? Being the gentle giants that coos are, she shared a bit of her fluff by way of Kate's careful grooming:
Let it set in the water for a couple hours. Then carefully removed it and placed it on an old shirt with a towel underneath.
done cooking for the day I placed the towel and the folded shirt on the
I found it a little tricky spinning it. I couldn't spin on the fold. I intentionally spun it thick to save time. I had even more troubles plying it. I kept adjusting the tension one way and then another. And it wanted to over ply if I wasn't careful. I found that if I let the plies snap together I got a better result. However, many times it just didn't want to pull onto the bobbin. I suspect this will take a bit more practice. It might be better if I changed the ratio to a lower number it might help also.
3-ply skein
The yarn felt a little prickly. I'll be curious to see how it feels when it is dry. I managed to do 24 yards of 3-ply.
I used really hot water and Eucalan. However, it didn't seem to shift the 'grease' very much. I will have to be more aggressive scouring it in the future. There was a definite bloom when I towel dried it, which was welcomed. Fortunately by being careful, it didn't felt.
In considering a project for this yarn these things came to mind - a
Teddy bear, mittens (lined with angora), boot tops. Of course this would
be a luxury yarn.
30/9/2014 - I did manage a really hot scouring with washing up liquid and that shifted all the remaining 'grease'. I will do a small swatch (2x2 inches at the largest 3x3) and tuck it against my waist to see the 'irritation' factor. Watch this space.

Keifer Thompson, Randy Houser and More Set for No Shave November
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is preparing to launch the third annual No Shave November, as the eleventh month of the year is right around the corner.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is preparing to launch the third annual No Shave November, as the eleventh month of the year is right around the corner.
Husband and wife duo Thompson Square aren't just focused on their thriving career; they're also passionate about helping others. Recently, the couple took time off from their tour with Luke Bryan to help a needy Honduran community.
For Keifer Thompson, one-half of country duo Thompson Square, his voice is everything. Without it, he and his wife Shawna can't tour, record or rehearse. After his recent vocal hemorrhage, the singer revealed some scary news, saying that he'd unknowingly been abusing his voice for years.
Thompson Square's 'Everything I Shouldn't Be Thinking About' video is short, sweet and captures the carefree spirit that makes the duo so great.
I had the opportunity to host the Party Zone for the Luke Bryan/Thompson Square concert at Cheyenne Frontier Days last night. We played a few fun games to win tickets to see Rascal Flatts & The Band Perry tonight in Cheyenne.
While he's received lots of support from the other half of the duo -- his beautiful wife Shawna -- Keifer found the most comfort in reaching out to others who have experienced the same vocal woes
Shawna and Keifer Thompson, better known as Thompson Square, have been on fire lately. They just hit number one for the second time with their latest hit "If I Didn't Have You" and are the reigning ACM and CMA vocal duo of the year winners.
Thompson Square is the reigning "Vocal Duo of the Year". They join the Good Morning guys in support of the 28 Hours of Hope on March 28th, 2013. Thompson Square is best known for their #1 smash "Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not".
Thompson Square were going to give it one more shot and then move on to something else. The married duo of Keifer and Shawna Thompson say they had one more showcase as a duo lined up, and if that didn't work out, well ... fans would never know hit songs like 'Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not' or 'If I Didn't Have You.' Fortunately that performance led to a deal with Stoney Creek Records.
Thompson Square seems to be on a roll the past 7 days. The duo just grabbed the CMA Vocal Duo of the Year award last week and then their latest single,"If I Didn't Have You," soared into the Top 40 this week – only two weeks after the song was released.
There aren't too many song's or videos for that matter that catch my eye or interest... I'm a busy girl and haven't yet figured out how to slow down. But this song, this video... captivates me.
Thompson Square ,who recently won the ACM award for vocal duo of the year, want to say thank you. I opened my email this morning to find a video message from them thanking you and I for helping them win this wonderful award.

Perhaps the biggest challenge for publishers in moving beyond the print replica to a responsive reader experience is how to help their advertisers move with them. The advertisers pay the bills, and efforts by publishers attempting to move beyond the replica often stall trying to get their advertisers on board.
The Challenge
It's been well documented that the utility of the "digital replica" is in rapid decline; users expect a great reading experience on every screen size, and the pinch and zoom experience of the replica isn't cutting it. There are two big problems from the perspective of most advertisers:
- Many traditional print advertisers aren't able to provide responsive, digitally-compelling advertisements to match the content. While the industry figures out the right combination of interactive, banner, native, video, programmatic, etc. that will result in brand success, advertisers that have traditionally dealt in print are stuck in limbo. Staffing up to tackle the latest fad isn't something many advertisers have the opportunity to do; most will sit back and watch the early adopters figure out the right formula before they dive in.
- Shoehorning print ads into a modern content experience may make advertisers feel like their brand is getting second rate treatment. This varies from brand to brand, but we've seen some publishers repurpose full page ads from their print editions only to say "boy, the content looks great, but the now the ads don't match and we're worried about how our advertisers will react."
Bridging the Gap
As the industry figures out how to make the leap, we've been working closely with some partner publishers to find a way to ease the transition to digital for traditional print advertisers and agencies. Here's what we've found to work well:
#1 – Multiple Static Assets (that act responsive)
The biggest obstacle for many advertisers is simply that they don't have the skillset to produce rich digital creative. The single most effective way to help these advertisers has been to ask for multiple static assets which get swapped out at different screen sizes. This gives advertisers a way to show readers a solid result on every device size using their existing staff and processes.
See (and download) our Responsive Image Swap Turnstyle template here
#2 – Leverage Video
Video is all the rage and is the one thing that seems like a sure bet for advertisers in whatever shell it comes in (native, banners, interstitial, etc). We've seen very good results with overlaying video on simple static backgrounds to provide a solid experience on every screen. For publishers leveraging video in their editorial content, pre-roll advertising can be a big win.
See (and download) our Responsive Image Swap with Video Turnstyle template here
#3 – Publishers as agencies
We've seen several publishers provide creative services to build rich advertisements on behalf of advertisers (and make money doing it). Success here heavily depends on an advertiser's willingness to trust others to produce creative for their brand; minimally, publishers should expect advertisers to demand several review cycles and a signoff process.
#4 – Bundles
In the long term, separate buys for print and digital advertisements is going to be the most profitable venture for publishers and provide the most value for readers and advertisers alike. The problem for publishers who produce a digital replica today is that it's set the expectation with print advertisers that they'll "just be included" in the digital version. A great way to start to divorce print from digital in the mind of the advertiser is to offer bundles which include both a print and digital presence. Publishers can begin by giving existing print advertisers a great deal on a bundle that includes both print and digital placements while also making it clear to the advertiser that print and digital will be divorced in the future. This approach also begins to get advertisers to start mentally assigning a value to their digital advertising opportunities from the publisher.
If you have other ideas, we'd love to hear from you!

Hi, I own an apartment where I have the 1100' insert and my tenant said that it stopped working.
I looked at the 7amp fuse and it was blown and got a new one. The only thing about the new and old fuse going back in is that they seam loose when I tighten the fuse holder and not set correctly. The blown fuse led me to believe that something else was wrong so I continued to look at things. I found that the heat ignite-er was broke and had looked like someone welded metal on it. I ordered a new one and just put it back in. The heat exchanger was pretty dirty so I cleaned that all up and then plugged it back in. Nothing worked. 1. I checked and replaced the batteries in the thermostat and that was not it.
Is there a way temporally to check if my fuse holder is not good by putting in a wire or paper clip to see if it is this? Because it seams loose I thought I could at least test this. With power to the stove is there a place to be able to test on the junction box if there is 110 power coming out or test it for what it is to have coming out? Is there anything else I need to do or test before I purchase a new control box at $375? |

Quarrels over the record of past aggression by China against Vietnam, for example, have colored how the two neighbors regard their clashes over the Paracel Islands. But it is the raw feelings over Japan's early-20th-century aggression in Asia that creates the most worry that the string of clashes over the Senkaku Islands (known as Diaoyu Islands in China) might result in serious military confrontation.
To peacefully resolve these island disputes will require a willingness by Asian nations, especially Japan, to agree on a historical record as well as a recognition of how much each country has sought peace and progressed in recent decades.
Germany serves as a model of a postwar nation that embraced its victims, made restitution, and showed contrition through numerous heart-felt apologies. The accuracy of its history books regarding the Nazi era – or rather the true empathy displayed by many Germans – has helped Germany become a leader of the European Union.
Japan has not gone as far as Germany in making the kinds of amends that would satisfy China or the two Koreas. And it has a strong minority that denies many of the atrocities committed by Imperial Japan.
To the country's credit, a group of Japan scholars have worked with counterparts in China and South Korea to write a common history. One such history was issued in 2005, but it has not gained official favor in those countries.
In 2006, China and Japan officially helped launch a joint scholarly committee to find common ground on their history. The panel made some progress but faltered over details of events such as the 1937 Nanjing massacre.

Here's a few.
Inexorable, Prosecutor, Authority, Absolute, Conviction, Ruthless.
It would be neat to see a few ships named for old war heroes from the Clone Wars - but I'm not sure who's all dead except a bunch of Jedi who the Imperial Navy would never name a ship after.
That said, I could see some rebel ships cropping up with names like Fisto, Mundi, Plo-Koon or Windu.

Traditional Norwegian stranded pattern in 2 colors, with yoke.
Sleeves and body is knitted together in one piece. The reducing for
the neck is done in between the pattern rounds, marked with pink lines in the diagram.
In the old days, when electricity was still unknown, the stars were loved as symbols of life and energy.
Stars were often knitted into pillows and nightgowns, as protecting symbols against the darkness of the night and the unknown.
For the same reason, stars were also knitted into clothing used in wintertime - as winter was considered the night of the year.

Normal monsoon seems to have little or no impact on inflows
The water position in the three major reservoirs on the Krishna and the major reservoir on its tributary (Tungabhadra) continues to be bleak, despite a good amount of rainfall in the last few days.
While the water available for irrigation is little or low, the inflows are also near negligible when compared to the capacities of the reservoirs. Only 22 tmcft of water is available for irrigation in Nagarjuna Sagar, while a minimum of 55 tmcft is required for irrigating the paddy sown in the Krishna delta for the ensuing kharif season. Unfortunately, as per Irrigation Department norms, no water is available for the purpose in Srisailam.
As if the scarcity of water in the reservoirs is not enough, 30 gates of Prakasam Barrage had to be raised by one foot to release over 20,000 cusecs into the sea as a flood control step on Thursday night. Rains in the area that falls in the catchment of the Krishna below Nagarjuna Sagar have sent the streams and rivulets into a spate causing a flood at the barrage leading to the release of water.
The water position is no better in the reservoirs in the upper reaches of the river, located in Karnataka too. Almatti, which has a full reservoir capacity of 130 tmcft, has just 34 tmcft available for irrigation, while Tungabhadra with a full reservoir capacity of 104 tmcft has just 15 tmcft available.
The normal monsoon seems to have had little or no impact on the inflows into these reservoirs.
The water position of reservoirs has a significant bearing on the water users downstream. The agricultural season (kharif) in the Krishna delta has already been kicked off with water being released from Prakasam Barrage on June 25. The water requirement for the season has been pegged at 74 tmcft. So there is a deficit of over 50 tmcft as on date.
Inflows of about 4,000 cusecs were recorded into Almatti on Friday morning and no releases were made as 54 per cent of the reservoir is yet to be filled.
An inflow of 17,000 cusecs was recorded into Tungabhadra and the 'customary' 200 cusecs are being released from the reservoir, which is 82 per cent empty.
Keywords: Tungabhadra, irrigation, kharif season

tamoshanter Posts: 33i'm assuming that that's a coupe EX-L 5AT(Automatic) WITH V6? (you didnt' say if it was the 4 cylinder or 6). if it's with the V6, that's not bad.....bluetooth IS automatically included with the NAVI, so the dealer's bull***** you if he/she's saying that it's extra with the NAVI. setting it up is easy - my 18 year old daughter did it in one evening. now if that's for the 4 cylinder, that's still a pretty high price - i was able to get my daughter's (coupe,EX-L 5AT (automatic) 4I (4 cylinder)) WITH NAVI and appearance package (wheel locks, pinstriping and mud flaps) for about $26000 - add destination, VA tax (3.2%), $399 dealer prep, license/tags, etc. for $27685 OTD.
parviz Posts: 484Most of the quotes or prices paid that you see posted for several hundred below invoice are for the I4. Do a quick search here on the thread, I don't think you'll find many V6 for much under invoice. having said that, I think you can do better than what you have been quoted. Try sending more emails to a bigger radius to cover more territory. I sent out over 20 emails to a 150+ radius before I bought mine a few months ago.
dklcarfan Posts: 2A dealer here in seattle has a 2008 silver accord ex sedan (4 cylinder, auto, no leather) for sale as a ex demo car. claims to have been used by the sales manager and it has 6000 miles on it. they will be selling it as a new car, not used one. They have the red sticker with SALE PRICE!! 22,900 on it, which the salesperson said he is willing to negotiate good.
From what I've been seeing here, for a brand new car, usually $1000 below invoice is a good deal, which means $21200 in our case. BUT since this is an ex demo car with 6k miles, what would be a good price? I was thinking $19K. Can it be even lower. They seem pretty dedicated to get rid of it. The carspace forum helped me so much last time when i bought a car and i hope u guys can help me out in making an offer and from what low end i shd start bargaining
Please note that I'm ok with buying a car with 6k miles, unless i'm missing some hidden catch (if so please le me know!) -
personatech Posts: 101
jaxs1 Posts: 2,697There is a dealer installed bluetooth accessory kit that the dealer can install on the Accords that don't have nav. Maybe, that's what they're selling.
The bluetooth kit is installed into the space where the sunglass holder is now and has the microphone and speaker in an all-in-one unit. All they do is cut a hole for it, tap it into a power source and mount it.
It isn't connected to the stereo or steering wheel controls. -
bud_foxx44 Posts: 31Let's do this again, it is a 2008 Accord 4 Door Sedan, V-6 with NAV. They qutoed me $26,868 before dest and tax. They also said, if I qualify, 0% financing for 72 months. It is Route 22 Honda in Hillside. I haven't baught anything else, also have to get a good price on my trade in. If any of those 3 things don't work out, I am out the door and will never return. G-man, I think I read you went to the same dealer, how are they?
gleen6191 Posts: 80yes. 190 hp. i personally did not want to take a chance on the v-6 although i am coming from a 2007 Infiniti M35x dream machine. the lease is up and i am trying to save on gas. i only drive 8 miles to work and 8 miles back. i think the honda looks and feels great except for the upper lumbar support. I hope that does not come back to haunt me!
I wanted the v6 though. u got a good price! -
lpcoupe Posts: 5parvis-thanks for your response
what dealer did u buy from??
yes i noticed most prices under invoice are for v4..so far the best internet price i have gotten as of today is:
28,915 incl dest
67.5 dmv
130 plates
2510.95 tax
$31,623 out the door that's $650 over invoice..what do u think??? today i sent out an email to all the dealers who have sent me internet quotes telling them if they would give me the car for 28,514 (249 over invoice) and throw in a tint, that i would order the car immediately...i got one response to come in in person and make the offer..let's see what happens when i go in! -
packer3 Posts: 277I you do decide to get this car make sure the warranty starts at that mileage "in writing" I leased the 2008 LXP with 4 miles on it, two weeks ago in NJ the sticker list was $22,160. before negotiations. The difference between the two is the moon roof, 190hp vs 177hp and a few other small things. Just look in the back of the Honda Accord sales leaf lit at the dealer and all the specs are in the back. I also drove both the E it had has just a little more umph. nothing to write home about.
packer3 Posts: 277Bud, I went to the dealer in Hillside on 3/29, didn't have success with Mahwah or Paramus, leased the LXP. $1,000 down,$265 per month 36 months 12,000 miles per year, I started out looking at the LX, however they didn't have the Graphite Gray so we talked and they then offered me the LXP same deal as above, the car also came with the Enviro Guard int/ext package, wheel locks and mud flaps. There is money at these dealers around $500.00 worth. It's like anything else sometime you hit it and some times you don't, I do recomend going at the end of the month.
bud_foxx44 Posts: 31lpcoupe, that is really not a good price. I just got a price on a 4dr EX-L V6 with NAV down to 25,900 + dest & tax and a finance rate of 4.54% for 72 months. Still thinking it over. Total price with trade in is + $100 more a month then what I am paying on an Acura TL with 87K miles.

For this issue of the ever-continuing "Performance Art" series, I'll talk a little about flat-shaded or colored polygons and the use (or overuse) of bones in a model.
Always use a texture:
In the past, when the memory on graphics cards was very small, we tried to save texture space by flat-shading or assigning a single color to groups of polygons. This provided color information to parts of a model that didn't need the detail of a texture and saved memory in the process. However, with the advent of pixel shaders and graphics cards with a gig of memory on them, this is actually a performance killer now. The reason for this is simple, every unique color is a new constant switch. And every constant switch is a new draw call. So those 100 flat shaded objects in our models that we thought would save texture space are now actually causing 100 new draw calls. Sure, they're cheap draw calls, but they are draw calls none the less. So how do we fix this problem? Simple. Save a small space in the texture sheet to have 4x4 blocks of solid color. Anything that needs to reference that color, simply take all the UVs for those parts and shrink them way down to fit in the center of that 4x4 block (with room on the edges to compensate for mips). Voila, it's still a single draw call and you get the benefit of saving texture space since you're only using the equivalent of a 64x64 texture sheet for a full 256 colors. That can easily be fit in the gaps of a standard 1024x1024 texture sheet.
Bones Ain't Free (especially not ones in a big 'ol hierarchy)
Bones are a wonderful thing. They allow us to do animation on the vertex level without having to store transforms for each vertex in a mesh (anyone want to try storing matrix transforms for 1000 vertices? Okay, I know, you can do it in a texture, but that's out of scope for this discussion and still not free!) They also allow us to combine disparate animated parts in a model into a single draw call. However, there is a cost to having bones in a model. The hierarchy must be traversed recursively for each update for each frame. If you have a single node or possibly two in the hierarchy (like is the case for most of our autoskinning), then this is relatively cheap. Update parent node, update child node with parent's transforms, update child node with child's transforms, draw. 3 transforms and a draw. Well adding a single node to the chain drastically increases the complexity of the updates: Update parent node, update child1 node with parent's transforms, update child2 node with parent's transforms, update child1 with child1's transforms, update child2 with child1's transforms, update child2 with child2's transforms, draw. It's a geometric progression that goes from 3 updates for 2 bones to 6 for 3 to 12 for 4 to 24 for 5. And that's every frame. I've seen some third party add-ons that have literally hundreds of bones, many with hierarchies 3 to 6 bones deep (and sometimes more). That's great for saving draw calls, but not so great for performance overall. That would be the equivalent of making an aircraft that has every single Half-Life 2 character you might see onscreen at once as the wings. And that's only one instance of that aircraft. Imagine multi-player...
Hopefully this helps. Keep your hierarchies simple and make sure to always have a texture. We let out a lot of rope with this version of Flight Simulator. As you watch us swinging from it, please listen to what we've got to say, that way only one of us has to hang.
Thanks for the discussion of bones. I have been experimenting making trees with bones for a while now. So far the effect looks pretty cool. The trees only annimate with bones at LOD_90 so the frame rate seems fairly friendly - although I have not tested with many trees at once yet. We shall see and now I'll be sure to keep bones at a minimum.
Hi Adrian,
the discussion of bones by Kevin on the DevCon was very helpful, so is your reiteration of it here. We DO want to have animated shapes in FSX bt don't want to kill the fun at the same time... tough work! ;-)
Really appreciating all the fascinating information you're providing here Adrian.. please keep it up. I've been particularly interested in your posts on the batching processes, and would be very keen to learn even more about it, especially on how not to break it ( which does seem a little easy to do).
Of course every designer has read the excellent blog posts by Adrian Woods on how to optimize your performance

When you're trapped a half mile beneath the Earth's surface, what is it you want most?
It has not been easy for Mining Minister Golborne, 48, who in less than a year has gone from general manager of one of Chile's biggest multilatinas (a multinational corporation based in Latin America) to government official to the families' daily lifeline to their trapped loved ones.
More used to keeping an eye on the stock market than sharing a cup of tea with impoverished miner families, Golborne has been meeting every day with them, keeping a pledge to always speak with them first before making any public statement. Golborne has spent much of these 18 days at the site of the accident, and until Aug. 22, repeatedly called on the families to keep only moderate expectations of survival.
When an attempt to drill through the chimney two days after the accident caused another cave-in, Golborne cried in front of television crews. Family members, who never lowered their guard, scolded him publicly for setting a bad example.
Last week, tensions rose high after one of the drills that had reached deepest into the mine erred its direction, deflating expectations. Two days before the first contact, the accumulated anxiety, exhaustion and frustration led a group of local independent miners to insist on going down themselves, but the government flat out refused. The situation seemed to be spiraling towards a standoff, but hours later, the paper with big red letters changed everything.
That note, read and broadcast throughout the country, sparked celebrations everywhere. Young and old spontaneously poured to the streets waving Chilean flags, honking their horns and celebrating as if Chile had just won a soccer championship.
Diners at restaurants began applauding and as the news spread by word of mouth in the metro, buses, homes and streets, people cheered and prayed. At late lunchtime on Sunday afternoon, Chileans raised a toast to the miners; many cried in disbelief.
For the miners' anguished families, who have camped out throughout the 18-day ordeal in 33 government-provided tents in the rough desert landscape, it was party time. They danced, laughed, staged shows and finally relaxed for the first time in almost three weeks in the camp they named Esperanza (Hope).
From the very first moment there has been an enormous outpouring of solidarity from all over the country, as the government immediately mobilized experts, resources and machinery from the state-owned copper giant Codelco and set up an emergency committee and rescue teams that have worked around the clock.
Miners and townspeople from nearby locations have accompanied the relatives, social workers and psychologists have taken turns assisting them, and last week, a group of local fishermen from the coast traveled with truckloads of seafood and fish soup to share with the 33 families.
The mining drama has brought new attention onto the San Esteban Mining Company, owner of the San Jose mine. The company has often been accused by mining unions of disregarding safety regulations. The mine was closed in 2007 after the death of a miner in an accident a year earlier but inexplicably, it reopened in 2008, even though the company had not complied with safety standards, including improving ventilation and building an alternative escape route.

Viburnum lantana, perhaps. tj |
The question we usually get is "will it set fruit or not" so this is an unusual question "will the fruit be viable?" You could open up a berry and examine the seed inside. If the seed is thin and small then it is probably not. If the seed is plump and fairly large compared to the flesh (viburnums only have one seed per fruit/drupe) then I'd say it probably is viable. Some of the answer lies in are the germination factors good enough for the seeds to germinate in your location. And are you trying to grow something in an area that is outside of its growing conditions (e.g., taking something is at home in the mountains and trying to grow it in a hot coastal area) ... that is a factor as well. |

Hi Everyone, I grow sweet and bell peppers in Zone 5b. I read that 4-6 weeks before first frost, you can prune off the top pepper branches to redirect energy into ripening existing fruit. My question is, does it have to be pruning off top branches, or can I just pinch off flowers from the top branches?
Taking out the top branches seems like it will 1) encourage plant to grow more branches (pruning spurns new growth), and 2) rob the plant of the energy from those leaves, which can help the existing fruit to ripen. Would it do the same thing if I didn't prune off any top branches, but prevent those branches from bearing fruit by pinching off the flowers on them? Also, before frost, I read on this forum that you can cut the pepper plants at the base and hang the entire plant upside down in the garage to keep picking peppers off of the drying plants for 3-4 weeks. This is supposed to be better than just picking the peppers and putting them in the fridge. Can anyone help me understand why? Also, how to prevent the fruits from growing mold when hanging on the plant in the garage? Last year, a lot of the peppers I picked and stored in the garage (not on the plant) grew mold inside, even though they looked fine on the outside. That was disappointing... Thanks for your help and expertise! |

Yup it works. The deer did it for me :) |
Hi I wanted to talk to you about the drying process and mold. I have only found one way to avoid mold besides dehydrating in a dehydrater. Firstly unless you live in Arizona,new mexico or any other desert, your probably will mold. I either pickle my peppers, freeze them, or this technique. You must thinly slice all your peppers, and I mean thin slices and put them on plates or some cardboard say 24 pk cardboard dog food container and place them right in front of a window ac. within 24 hrs they will be about 90 dehydrated and another 24 hrs theyll be past any stage to mold. In about a week they will be flaky, dry where you could actually crush them like flakes or powder. once they are fully dry like 3 weeks or so, then you can store them in something airtight like zip lock bags and take all the air out. |

While Vella Stewart encountered enormous change throughout her life, one thing remained constant — her compassion for others.
Born in 1904, Vella graduated from the Lord Lister Hospital diploma program in Omaha with a diploma in nursing and later received formal training in anesthesia. She spent years as a nurse in rural Nebraska and shared stories of administering anesthesia to patients on the floor or the kitchen table as they underwent medical procedures in their homes. Vella passed away in 2009 at the age of 105.
Through her estate she gifted her farm to the University of Nebraska Foundation to benefit the students, faculty and programs of the UNMC College of Nursing.
To recognize Vella Stewart's contributions to the education of nurses and the nursing profession, UNMC has established the Vella Elsie Stewart Health Assessment Laboratory on the center's second level.

Labor Day Dressing: Celebrities who Do White, Right
By Angel Lenise August 29, 2014
Mommy-and-me time for Kim Kardashian and a darling North West earlier this week. Kardashian is wearing a J.W. Anderson skirt, Stella McCartney bodysuit, and Tom Ford heels... but Nori steals the show. #KanyeApproved
Reese Witherspoon did off duty right in this laser-cut set from Monica Rose for Lovers + Friends set.
Like a boss... a #GIRLBOSS. Nicole Richie showed up to support Sophia Amoruso's book launch in July in a Balmain top, JET by John Eshaya pants, and Christian Louboutin pumps. The jewelry is none other than her own, House of Harlow.
Queen B stunned at Gucci's June 2014 Chime for Change Foundation one-year anniversary. She, of course, sported Gucci, and donated $500,000 to the cause. #Ballin.
Jennifer Lopez pulled a power move earlier this summer when NuvoTV, which she backs, bought Fuse Network for $226 million. She wore a look from Zuhair Murad Resort 2014 to seal the deal.
It's no secret that Rihanna slays every public appearance, including those off the red carpet. She proves that in the oversized shirt, denim cutoffs, and Manolo Blahnik sandals she wore to shop for her newborn niece at L.A.'s Petit Tresor in April.
Ciara borrowed from the boys at the 2013 CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund dinner in Calvin Klein and Jennifer Fisher jewelry.
A few months earlier, at New York Fashion Week, Kerry Washington stood out in this all-white Alexander Wang ensemble at the designer's Spring 2014 show. Of course, she sat front row.
It wouldn't be right if we didn't include the perfect-picture Olivia Palermo. She celebrated the Chadstone Shopping Centre's grand opening in Melbourne, Australia in an Aryn K outfit and suede Aquazzura pumps.
It also wouldn't be right to omit Kimye's all-white-everything coordination at the 2013 BET Awards. Kim Kardashian is in Tom Ford... and we have to admit, she and Ye look pretty good together.
After performing for Gucci's first Sound of Change concert in June 2013, Rita Ora wowed in this Alexandre Vauthier jumpsuit.
At the May 2013 premiere of Star Trek Into Darkness, leading lady Zoe Saldana opted for Elie Saab Fall 2013.
Solange delivered, as per usual, at the February 2013 premiere of big sister Beyoncé's Life is But a Dream documentary on HBO. She showed off her stems in a Fall 2013 design from Haitian designer Azede Jean Pierre.
On the west coast, Jessica Alba chose Tommy Hilfiger, head-to-toe, to celebrate the brand's new flagship opening in West Hollywood.
Givenchy was the designer of choice for the ethereal Cate Blanchett's UK premiere look of The Hobbit in 2012.
Miranda Kerr was as chic as a model-off-duty can be in this crisp look, paired with a Prada Saffiano top handle bag.
We took it back to 2011 for Angeline Jolie, who we've seen do white, right, more times than we can count. This Stella McCartney suit is no exception.
If you're one to follow the rules, you've got just a few more days to wear your summer whites. Once Labor Day ends, conservative dressers swear off all-blanched-everything and kick the achromatic hue to the curb until warmer weather commences. Of course, said rule was meant to be—and has been—broken, time and time again. Still, there's nothing wrong with a little inspiration to get you in the spirit. Channel Jessica Alba, Beyoncé, and even baby North West and get your all-white look, right.
