Word Order Matters (1MM #8) Febuary 22, 2013. 10 Google Search Tips All Students Can Use. I'm often asked for recommendations on how to help students use Google more effectively.
This morning I sat down and thought about the recommendations that I make most frequently when I am asked. I wrote up my list and put it into PDF form for you to download and print if you like. A few things about the PDF. 15 Lesson Plans For Making Students Better Online Researchers. Google is usually one of the first places students turn to when tasked with an assignment.
Whether it's for research, real-time results, or just a little digital exploration … it's important they know how to properly Google. Lucky for teachers (and students, of course), Google has a handy set of lesson plans that are just waiting to be unleashed upon the leaders of tomorrow. While I understand there's a LOT more to research than just Googling, it's important to note that this is where nearly all students start their research.
Therefore, it's a critical skill if they're going to start down the right paths. Below are 15 lesson plans courtesy of Google designed to make students better online researchers. ABCs of Web Literacy: Interactive Tutorial. Evaluating Web Pages: Techniques to Apply & Questions to Ask. 1.

The search engine database is compiled by means of often called spiders, crawlers, or bots. These spiders, crawlers and bots are programmed to find web pages, follow all the links they contain and add any new information they find to the master database. It is important to remember that when you are using a search engine, you are not really searching the entire Internet, but a database of pages and resources from the Internet compiled by the bots.
Once the information has been collected by the robot programs it is turned over to the search engine's indexing program. 7 Google Search Techniques You Don't Know Exist. Google search is a powerful tool...sometimes more powerful than you realize!

I'm here in Switzerland with my ROV #463 and would love to meet up with fellow OpenROVers!
Any interest in hanging out somewhere between now and end of July?
If we get a space somewhere, we could do a build day or bug fix day too. I've got plenty of experience with the ROV nd the software!
Regards Dominik
The G+ page is up
i would have started with a google+ group and of course check with David and Eric for domain usage. Tell me what you think.
What kind of platform would you like? I just reserved openrov.de and could set up a forum and / or small site.
That'll be awesome Christopher, I also don't own one yet but will order mine in a couple of weeks.
That'd be awesome. We need to connect the German/Austrian/Swiss/(german speaking)Italian userbase ;)
That would be great. Not sure I make it all the way up there, but if I do, I give you a shout!
Come to cologne and we can spent some time together ;) Can't make it to southern Germany unfortunately.

Okay, so it's early but I'm thinking ahead here.... My family loves enchiladas and BBQ items so I wondered if anyone had a good recipe for canning Enchilada Sauce and/or BBQ sauce. Hubby doesn't like chunks of tomatoes, so the sauce should be pureed. I already can lots of Annie's Salsa (and we love it) but want to try some other things with the tons of tomatoes that I am hoping for this year. Can't find a good enchilada sauce recipe (or even a good taco sauce) and I haven't been impressed with BBQ sauces that I've tried. I have both a BWB and a pressure canner. Thanks for the help in advance!! --Marcy |

Here is a BBQ Recipe from the National Center for Home Food Preservation: http://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_03/bbqsauce.html Ball has this recipe: http://www.freshpreserving.com/recipe.aspx?r=138. I have made this recipe using all three spice blends with good results: http://www.freshpreserving.com/recipe.aspx?r=65 |
Agree that you can always find the basic recipes at NCHFP or in the Ball Books. If you don't have the books you really need to and NCHFP's site should be bookmarked. Enchilada sauce means very different things to many people but it basically a spiced green or red tomato sauce. NCHFP has recipes for at least 8 different tomato sauces. Or you can always can plain tomato sauce and quickly spice it up at prep time. That way you avoid the problems with spices intensifying or going bland in the jars. Dave |

Supercar match: Audi R8 v Porsche 911
Comment on this storyThis has got to be the German supercar shootout of the decade.
In the left-hand corner the challenger: the Audi R8, with a mid-mounted 4.2-litre, naturally aspirated engine rated at 317kW, driving all four wheels.
And, on the right, the champion: the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, with a rear-mounted 3.8-litre flat six good for 294kW, also driving all four wheels.
Autoexpress magazine brought the two Teutonic titans together, made them shake hands and then took the gloves off on a race-track.
The result might just surprise you.

Brown-Forman Reports Strong Start To Fiscal 2013 And Confirms Full Year Outlook
Most other Brown-Forman brands experienced solid underlying growth trends in addition to the benefit from buy-ins taken in advance of price increases.
Finlandia's 20% net sales growth was fueled by strong results in Poland and Russia. El Jimador's net sales were up double digits and Herradura grew net sales over 30%, driven by solid performance in the U.S. and Mexico.
Southern Comfort's family of brands improved from a 7% net sales decline in Fiscal 2012 to a 1% net sales decline in the quarter. The brand grew in the U.S. on the heels of a stronger and more consistent media presence, more effective promotional efforts with the trade, and continued flavor innovation. This positive momentum in the U.S. was offset by a slow start in some key international markets, negatively impacting the brand's global results in the quarter.
Sonoma-Cutrer grew net sales in the high single digits, as U.S. results remained robust despite weak on-premise industry trends. Brown-Forman's super and ultra-premium whiskey brands, including Gentleman Jack, Woodford Reserve, Jack Daniel's Single Barrel, and Collingwood, grew net sales almost 30% in the quarter.
Geographically, underlying net sales outside of the U.S. grew 10%, in-line with domestic rates of growth. Underlying net sales growth was particularly strong in the emerging markets, up 13%, driven by Poland, Mexico, Russia, and Turkey. While the company believes that price increases taken earlier in the calendar year in Germany, the United Kingdom, and France have slowed our Western European rates of underlying net sales growth to the low single digits, Brown-Forman continued to outperform the market and grow sales, with strong results in France and the Benelux countries. The company expects the broader business environment in Western Europe to remain challenging for the foreseeable future. Net sales in Australia grew by double digits, driven by continued strength in Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey and the launch of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey in June.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

As dusk approaches a small Dublin suburb in the summer of 1984, mothers begin to call their children home from play. But on this warm evening, three children do not return from the dark and silent wood. When the police arrive, they find only one child, gripping a tree trunk in terror, wearing blood-filled sneakers, and unable to recall a single detail of the previous hours.

Bliss Healing Center's owner believes that relaxation and health go hand in hand. Helping their patrons attain both, the center offers treatments that banish stress and fill bodies with good vibes using 100% organic coconut oil, essential oils, and sprays. Reflexology opens energetic pathways with stimulation of the feet, hands, and head, and relaxation massage uses broad, gentle strokes to lull minds into peaceful reveries. Based on the idea of healing life energy in every body, reiki aims to recharge guests' internal batteries in a more laid-back way than gnawing on power cables. Those seeking even greater levels of relaxation can trick out their massages with hot stones and deep-tissue strokes that unlock kinked-up muscles with concentrated pressure.
The Skin Care Center of Cleveland's pulchritude-promoting services target common problems, such as acne, aging, and pigmentation, with treatments personalized for each client's skin type. Enhance your exterior with a wrinkle-razing age-defying treatment, blemish-blasting skin-correcting treatment, collagen-stimulating medical microdermabrasion, or face-zamboni-ing 45-minute micropeel.
Karen Couchie loves sailing in the Caribbean. As a result, the bright colors of the tropical paradise might unconsciously seep onto the nails or hair of her clients. As a nail technician and a Redken Specialist, she can artfully color nails or color and crop hair, but Karen doesn't stop at hairdos and finger hairdos. She's also a licensed tattoo and lash artist, so she can complement clients' natural brow and lash lines with treatments that draw more attention to the eyes than blinking neon goggles. Her light touch can also be seen in the hairline strokes or color blocking she uses to fill out brows during permanent-makeup applications, which don't smear or smudge when subjected to water.
Aesthetics Etc. owner Ann Marie Ray strives to transform standard beauty services into relaxing sensory experiences. Her staff incorporates the flame-softened wax of collagen-infused candles into select massages, relies on brand-name gloProfessional products, and encourages clients to slip into cozy slippers and robes. Ann Marie's signature service is permanent-makeup application though, which is useful both for helping chemotherapy patients to aesthetically recover from the loss of their eyebrows or simply shortening a client?s daily face-prepping routine.
Before pursuing a career in makeup and skincare, Ann Marie spent seven years working a standard 9-to-5 job in finance. After years of persuasion and encouragement from her mother, a professional aesthetician, she left the corporate world and became a certified permanent-cosmetics specialist in 2002. Today, mother and daughter operate separate but noncompeting businesses, referring clients to one another for specific treatments or a second opinion on who left the milk out that one time in 1991.
The skincare experts at Beauty Enhancement Center of Ohio have been correcting imperfections and boosting clients' confidence for more than 16 years. Their treatments range from customized facials for a variety of skin conditions to exfoliating chemical peels and microdermabrasion treatments. They also apply permanent makeup, which can flatter features with color and conceal scars. Their other services include waxing, eyelash extensions, and cellulite reduction via the GX-99 Vibratory Endermatic System.

I live in the country and chose to reroute the drain water from my kitchen into a side yard. The grass and weeds are doing well despite the soapy water so I was wondering if I could naturalize it with plants
It's on the north side of the house but gets mostly sun. Would appreciate any suggestions |

Do you use natural detergerents? Any products that contain chlorine, etc? I'm curious about this. |
We found the same situation at a home we rented in the Upstate of SC. We had tomato, cucumber, and cantaloupe volunteers to come up from the seeds that washed down the drain. Talk about a suprise. Since we were on a hill, we never grew a soupy, swampy kinda place that bog plants would be happy in. The veggies seemed very happy as this was the only outside water that we had. As far as dish detergeant, I used whatever was cheap at the time. I don't remember if I ever used any bleach in the sink, but I'm sorta guessing that I used some sink cleanser that probably contained bleach. The veggies tasted fine. And the only problem I had with them is that the yard was rather shady so the plants never reached an optimum size. Check your county code. I know that they changed codes here to prohibit grey water being just dumped on the yard. I don't see what the problem is........but that's me. Hope this helps, |

Check what wetland plants are native to your area and concentrate on those. Dont use exotics they can spread via birds, wildlife and wreak havoc elsewhere. |

My boyfriend and I are first time homeowners and have bought a fixer-upper that needs a totally new kitchen. I have chosen a light grey cabinet and plan on a whitish black splash and I think marble goes beautifully with both. I hear so many marble horror stories and I cook A LOT and to be honest the marks and stains would bother me and I would probably become a slave to keeping the countertop pristine (which I hear is impossible) What is a great substitute? So far I've seen Silestone lagoon and like it but can anyone recommend another close second to marble? Can someone with marble or a marble substitute share their experience? Pictures would be greatly appreciated since I haven't found much.. |

We have been looking for something similar as well. Check out this link. It has the best summary on all the options out there. *Well, there are probably more options, but I found this pretty comprehensive! Once I saw this, I then did tons of searches for those colors on Houzz and here on GW and also seeing them in person at a stone yard on a large slab really helps. |

You owe it to yourself to check out Corian and other solid surface materials. They outperform natural stone easily. |
Thanks for posting that link. I'm about ready to give up on marble stone look a like. The link showed me to seriously consider manmade. Thanks again |
I just saw a new KBIS 2014 report on the newly available huge slab sized white marble looking material that is actually like a porcelain tile. This new size is aprox 10 x 5 feet (3200mm x 1500mm) and close to a standard 2cm thickness. This is the same company that I think several GW's reported using (for bathroom tiles) instead of natural marble with glowing reports. They made several sizes including large format tiles (aprox 18x24, 9x12, 4x6) and this looks equal to a full slab size that has the properties of porcelain but the look of marble. Have not seen it in person but worth checking out. It is called Classtone by Neolith and I have a link below of the KBIS introduction. Unless you have alteady done so, you might also check out some white granites or natural stone quartzites (not to be confused with the man made quartz). Be sure to look up the GW posts about Rocks, Quartzites and other Rocks in the Kitchen, Parts 1 - 4, for great info in general and how to test individual slabs you are interested in for durability for etching, hardness, stain ability, etc. One thing that has come across in those threads is that all natural stones are NOT the same and just the names and categories can't always be accurate. So you have to test to be sure. Or maybe some of the solid surface synthetics will work for you. Always good to have choices! Hope this helps. Let us know of your progress. |

I was so excited reading about this because I thought I could use it as the backsplash behind the range, but at those prices I couldn't afford to buy a whole slab. |
It wasn't inexpensive, but the quartzite options can be very pretty and light. I went with Taj Mahal which wasn't as white as my husband wanted originally but living with it has been so very easy. And I am a messy cook, though even now I avoided setting down a messy bottle of olive oil where rings will sit for extended periods. Instead I just place it on a saucer. I'm very curious about the porcelain slabs. Will they be super durable? |
I have to say.... I've always thought if I couldn't tolerate marble I wouldn't find something similar to it b/c honestly there is no "substitute". There's something about marble that nothing else can capture. That said, I would try to focus on embracing a different stone instead. I'm a marble person...... nothing else will do...... however, I've been in people's homes that have granite and have been able to think it's very very pretty..... not for me, but very pretty. Actually, Pietra Cardoso is a fantastic countertop.... when you see it, it actually has an essence of marble (it's quarried very close to where carrara marble is quarried, so they could be cousins :) ), however, it's a dark color and looks more like a slate or soapstone (but you'd know the difference when you saw it). I believe it's a schist (I could be wrong) so you'd still want to be careful with acids. |
Try a manmade quarts counter like ceasarstone or a quartzite, which is a natural stone, in a light color such as white macaubus or calcutta. |
- Posted by brantley_r (My Page) on Mon, Feb 24, 14 at 14:32
We just finished up a new build and used honed Carrara marble. I knew I wanted marble and searched high and low for a substitute. The only acceptable substitute I could find was a quartzite called Sea Pearl and it was almost double the price. Also looked at White Macabas which was significantly more. We have been in our new house for over 2 months...still tying up some loose ends like our kitchen backsplash, etc... but after living with the marble I have to say I love it and am SO GLAD I went with what I wanted. It is so beautiful. We are red wine drinkers, coffee drinkers, cook spaghetti. Not to mention I have three messy sons. :-) We purchased a 15-year stain warranty for $200 (Dry Treat) which treated our kitchen counters, powder room (polished Carrara) and master bath (polished Cappucino marble). If it stains after 15 years it will be time for a remodel anyway. So far it has not stained or etched. |

Entrepreneur Magazine weighs in on trademark defense.
"If you have a trademark, you have to aggressively defend it or you'll lose it," Rieva Lesonsky, vice president and editorial director at Entrepreneur Magazine, told NL/NL in response to an article we ran on her company's efforts to get other publications to stop using the word entrepreneur in their titles (NL/NL 2/15/04).Entrepreneur Media Inc., the magazine's parent company, was granted a trademark on the word entrepreneur in 1982, long before it became the widely used word it is today.
Lesonsky, whom we could not reach before the NL/NL article was published, subsequently commented on the piece:
* We cited Scott Smith of Sacramento, Calif., who lost twice in court to EMI for his use of the word in the name of his PR firm, EntrepreneurPR, his website, EntrepreneurPR.com.
"Scott Smith calls us a big, bad guy." Lesonsky said. "We're not a big, bad guy. We're a small operation with fewer than 100 employees."
She said Smith used a logo similar to EMI's, "and that sort of confused people." She said that they tried to settle the matter out of court but that Smith persisted in using the same name and graphic presentation. So they sued for trademark protection and damages.
* For his part, Smith elaborated on our sentence, "Smith characterized Entrepreneur Magazine's trademark as 'weak ...."
He said that statement
"was not simply my opinion, but is based on the much higher ranking 9th Circuit Court of Appeals February 2002 ruling (which by the way overturned one of EMI's victories, and was a significant legal victory for us.) "In their very detailed and published ruling, three federal judges unanimously ruled as a matter of law that EMI's 'mark is weak' and the 'common and necessary uses of the word "entrepreneur" in any mark identifying a printed publication addressing subjects related to 'entrepreneurship.'"
That ruling was subsequently overturned, awarding EMI $1.4 million in damages and attorneys' fees. Smith, now doing business as Bizstarz, is again appealing the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals.
* Lesonsky also questioned our quoting Forbes magazine, "Stephen Morris was thrilled when Entrepreneur Magazine plugged Atlanta-based Kids Way three years ago. Today, he and vice president Misty Elliott wish Entrepreneur had never heard of them."
Under pressure, Morris changed his title Young Entrepreneur to Y & E.
Lesonsky told us they have a good relationship with Morris and Elliott, and the two of them even contribute articles to EMI's magazine.
New intellectual property coalition
Meanwhile, Smith steered us to a February 23, 2004, article in The MicroEnterprise Journal, where Dawn Rivers Baker writes,
"The Intellectual Property Protection Coalition (http://www. ipcoalition.com) is a membership organization for small and mediumsized enterprises with intellectual property interests. Its mission is to provide a forum for its members to 'enhance dialogue and outreach to Congress, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and the business community.' "... The organization was founded by [Scott] Smith and the potent father-and-son team of Neil and Kurt Markva. Kurt Markva is a former chief-of-staff for House Small Business Committee Chairman Don Mansullo (R-IL), while his father Neil is a practicing attorney with forty years of stories to tell about problems with intellectual property issues."

Tomorrow, I'm going to be taking pictures of a friend's baby. I have a canon T4i with a 50mm prime lens, the 18-55mm kit lens, 18-135mm lens and a 100mm macro lens. Any suggestions on what lens(es) to shoot with? |

I used to use a 28-200mm with macro lens that I used almost exclusively since it gave me the greatest versatility all in one lens, however, I always took other lenses with me just in case I needed a different lens for that 'perfect' shot. Kt |
Well, thanks Kt..but I don't HAVE that lens Also, I postponed the shoot, cuz I found out this morning my sister has 12-18 months to live |
- Posted by kentuck_8b (My Page) on Sun, May 19, 13 at 22:12
Each lens you mentioned has it's benefits, so take them all and change them as you need them. Sorry to hear about your sister, but from what I've noticed, when that much time is given, it's usually much longer, if not indefinitely and they live to be a ripe old age, so don't let the doctors get you too discouraged. Remember, predicting death is no easier than predicting lottery numbers. There is no proven or certain way of doing it. She'll be in my prayers. Kt |
thank you so muich Kt. Like I said, we've postponed the shoot, so I'll take more time to play with the lenses. |

A GRADE II listed bridge in North Yorkshire has been damaged for the third time in recent weeks after being hit by a vehicle.
Blakey Bridge, at Sowerby, near Thirsk, has been closed after being damaged over the weekend.
The historic limestone bridge that crosses Cod Beck has been damaged by large vehicles in the past and there is now concern for the safety of road users as a substantial amount of the parapet wall has been demolished.
Although the road is passable with care, the bridge has now been closed on safety grounds, but access will be maintained for pedestrians and cyclists.
The bridge was due to be closed from the end of September for six months as part of the traffic management for the construction of a new interchange on the A168 and B1448 as part of the Sowerby Gateway development.
The bridge will now remain closed until the interchange works are complete next March.
A spokeswoman from North Yorkshire County Council said: "A structural survey of the bridge will now be carried out to determine the extent of the damage and necessary repairs will be arranged."
County councillor Robert Baker, member for Sowerby, said: "We appreciate that the bridge closure will be an inconvenience for local traffic, but we need to ensure the safety of motorists."
Thirsk resident and blogger Barry Oglby said: "It is a great shame that it is damaged again – it is an iconic and historic bridge."

TIGER WOODS: Well, I think overall I'm very pleased by the way I played today. It was very crisp, very clean, and hit a lot of beautiful putts that just grazed the edge and lipped out. I had six or seven lip-outs for birdie today. If those go in, it would have been a pretty good round.
Q. You seemed a little ticked off at points. Was this round frustrating just in terms of opportunities missed?
TIGER WOODS: It was frustrating in the sense that I was hitting beautiful putts and they were lipping out. But it is one thing that you are hitting a couple putts and have them not going in, but I was hitting the putts well and they were just lipping out. When you have good speed on the high side generally they fall in. Today they were lipping out on the high side with good pace, which is obviously frustrating when you roll the ball at that speed and it lips out on the high speed.
Q. (Question about pace)
TIGER WOODS: I think pace of the greens are a problem for everybody, because these are slower than we normally play week after week. But then again, they have to do that because if the wind ever blows here, they can lose control of the greens, even 18, even the greens are slow, but downgrain, downwind from where I was chipping from, vice versa if you go uphill into the green, you have to rip it.
Q. Were you in discomfort with your back at times?
TIGER WOODS: No.
Q. You seemed to be bending over gingerly at times.
TIGER WOODS: You don't know what I said out there.
Q. Not exactly.
TIGER WOODS: I just told them a lot of times that a lot of back injuries occur when bending down picking the ball up out of the hole. If you bend down too quickly and a lot of trainers told me to bend down slowly and over the long haul, 20, 30, 40 years of playing golf, you never really put yourself in danger of doing damage. Even David's back is feeling good, but he still does it.
Q. Do you have any concern about maybe not taking full advantage of a calm day and also can you talk about the distraction on the 1st hole?
TIGER WOODS: Well, it was frustrating, as I said, hitting good putts and not going in the hole. What are you going to do, I was committed to my lines; I felt comfortable over the putts and I hit good putts and they just didn't go in today. And that's okay. The 1st hole, a camerman was out of line. He took the picture at an inappropriate time and I backed off the shot and it really wasn't as committed to my line the second time around as I should have been, and consequently, I hit a poor tee shot and somehow hacked it out of the fairway. I don't know how I did that. Hit a good iron shot, a good sandwedge and about an eight foot for par.
Q. Were you distracted on the second shot?
TIGER WOODS: They were still trying to get their shot and they were taking them at inappropriate times, it's fine taking a picture, it's their job. But these guys are professionals; they know when to do it. And they -- that one might have had a heavy finger.
Q. They say, red numbers in a major are also good; is that the positive?
TIGER WOODS: Yes. Today anything under par is going to be a good score today. Actually if you shoot four solid rounds under par, more likely you're going to have a chance to win the tournament. And you can only shoot yourself out of the tournament the first day, and I certainly didn't do that. Got myself where I needed to be, especially if the weather is the way it's supposed to be the next two days.
Q. Why do you think no one has shot lower (inaudible)?
TIGER WOODS: A lot of pins are tucked on knobs, they're not only hard to get to, they're hard to read. A lot of the guys are going to have to play consecutive off the tees and leave themselves quite a ways back, and it's hard to fire at a lot of these pins with these credits, if you fly too far, it's out of here.
Q. (Inaudible)
TIGER WOODS: If you hit it like that all day you're going to be doing all right.
Q. Tiger, getting back to 1 with distractions, how important was it to par that and not go into a plus number early on?
TIGER WOODS: I knew I had some easy holes ahead of myself but I kept telling myself, the way I was walking up and I saw my lie, if I could not make double, I was doing well. It was like stealing a couple of there by making four. Even if I made 5, it was okay, because the way -- the lie I had on the second shot, as I said, a double was probably going to be the score I was going to make, but somehow it came out all right and made four.
Q. Later on, after the first two birdies, you followed those immediately with bogeys. Is that a disappointment, you got it going and, boom, it turns around?
TIGER WOODS: Especially over on 8 -- or over on 6 when I blipped it. It was an easy putt up the hill and I tried to hit it uphill into the grain and I did tried to make sure I got it there; I did. The second putt, again, I hit it too hard, I hit it on the line but wrong pace, and it lipped out again. It's frustrating when you follow-up birdies with bogeys; that's not what you want to have happen. It's always good the other way around.
Q. What do you think about your grouping; did you enjoy it?
TIGER WOODS: I did. I've enjoyed playing with Justin and Maruyama, and he is a great kid. I thoroughly enjoyed it. They both played really well, so it was nice to go out there and all of us play well at the same time.
Q. Your ideal playing partner shot better than you. Are you surprised at all by Mark?
TIGER WOODS: Steve and I were talking about this, Mark was hitting the ball best I've seen it in practice rounds leading up to a tournament than I've seen in a couple of years, just shot after shot after shot, he had his shape again. You can see he was starting to get his length back, he is now in the right position to hit it. You can see the confidence building day after day, it was a matter of him getting off to a good start today and I think he did it and played all the way around.
Q. When he talked about going on TV you persuaded him that he still had time left on tour?
TIGER WOODS: He has too much talent to go in the booth. There's no way he should go in the booth, no way. He hasn't really played all that well the last couple of years to his standards, but you can see the talent is there, and it's just a matter of him trusting his game and which he's doing that now and he is hitting the ball -- he's in the right position.
Q. How many drivers did you hit today?
TIGER WOODS: I hit 3.
Q. Tiger, going back to Justin, are you surprised how well he handled the pressure of playing the sort of crowds you play with every day?
TIGER WOODS: I don't think the crowds were that big today compared to the last major we played in. Well, the fans were certainly out there cheering for Justin. Obviously they want him to play well, and he did that today, and I think he conducted himself beautifully today.
Q. Go into detail on the second shot, what was the lie like, what club did you hit, what was your thought?
TIGER WOODS: I was just trying to advance it forward. I thought I couldn't get to the fairway. I was hoping to get a good lie on the second shot.
Q. What club did you use?
TIGER WOODS: 60, hard as I could. I could have hit it a foot or I could have gone as far as it went, but it came out great. I don't know how it did it, but it did.
Q. The way Justin played today, do you think he has a chance at winning?
TIGER WOODS: Yes, he certainly has the talent. If he executes golf shots the way he has been doing he'll be fine.
Q. (Questions about playing conditions in a major)?
TIGER WOODS: I've always enjoyed playing in tougher conditions, because if you play well and shoot a good solid round you're going to move up, and a lot of times on tour now, if you go out there and shoot 67 (inaudible) it's nice to go out there and shoot under par round, you get rewarded by moving up the board.

Heneghan Peng's Giant's Causeway Visitor Center is a Stone Sanctuary on the Cliffs of Ireland
Posted By Molly Cotter On August 18, 2012 @ 2:00 am In Architecture,carousel showcase,gallery,Landscape Architecture | No Comments
Giant's Causeway [4] is a coastal area where about 40,000 basalt columns sprung up from the earth due to an ancient volcanic eruption. The remarkable collection of hexagonal rocks [9] has been named the fourth greatest natural wonder [10] in the United Kingdom. The site is one of Northern Ireland's [11] most popular tourist spots, so Heneghan Peng [12] sought to create a visitor center that was informational, accessible, and respectful of the surrounding environment. The 1,800-square-meter facility consists of two levels, and its layout blocks the parking lot from most scenic views. The main building is made from the same quarried basalt material found nearby to seamlessly intertwine the building with its surroundings.
The visitor center's BREEAM Excellent Rating [7] (a British environmental assessment system similar to LEED [13]) is due mainly to its strategically deployed systems. A geothermal heating [14] system is installed throughout the parking lot, while a meter of earth pipes [15] next to the main building helps to cool the center. The center's recycled concrete walls also insulate the building, while rainwater recovery and a green roof [16] make the best use of Ireland's heavy rainfall.

Mankind Will Be Replaced…
Torrance CA (July 1, 2010) Aksys Games, a publisher of interactive entertainment products, announces an epic tale: Blazing Souls Accelate for the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system. Blazing Souls Accelate!
It has been years since a war called the Seven Year War ended and peace finally arrived in the land.
The story begins with Zero the protagonist making his living as an independent contractor. One day he is investigating a certain site. It is there that he finds a mysterious stone infused with a powerful magic known as the Core Elemental. As he takes on more and more jobs to investigate other locations, he discovers more and more Core Elemental stones. On his travels, he begins to encounter the Human Genomes—new creatures created by God to replace mankind.
One thirsts for power.
One desires only the eradication of mankind.
And one hopes to retrieve what he has lost.
To get what they desire, each one appears before our protagonist. Through his battles against the Human Genomes, our protagonist begins to learn the truth about the secret of his birth, and before long finds himself at the very place where he was born…
Finally, he will learn the truth of his existence…
Accelate Your Soul!
Battles full of strategic characteristics
- Actions such as Chain, Charge, Hold, Original Skill, Chain Skill, Special Chain Skill, Break, Break Arts and Overkill are available during the battle!
- Position your forces on the battlefield and wait for the right moment to string together massive combo attacks using multiple party members—both in melee and at range!
Abundant Item Creations and Monster Capturing
- Blazing Souls gives the player plenty of fun elements like creating over 200 different items and skills! Players are given the ability to capture monsters and have them placed within the party.
New Concepts in Strategy RPGs
- Now the battle map and adventure map are one and the same. What you do before battle affects the terrain, and vice-versa!
- Players can choose how they will proceed through the game. Search for towns and dungeons at the guild, explore hidden areas, battle enemies you encounter or watch animated events.
7.09.10 at 7:46 pmWoot Woot! :)
I really really really like Idea Factory's art style, so I'll be sure to pick this up! -
7.11.10 at 4:00 pm… I've listened to this song several hundreds of times (by replaying the video over and over)…
Where could I buy the opening video theme song? (legally, of course)
Oh, also… The video quality of the video on the Japanese version's official website is comparably better… But doesn't have the Aksys Games logo in the beginning (which adds a level of cool-ness)…
Link to the video on the japanese version's official website below! (Where I've been listening to the song over and over)
And sorry for the double post… -
7.12.10 at 8:59 amI know im late and everything but I could have sworn the main characters name was Zeros/Zelos. Did Aksys change the name or is this a typo?
Tsuki Garyuu
7.14.10 at 5:07 amYes, Griefy, it's Zelos, as per his name change in Cross Edge.
Of course, it's not really a name change.
Anyway, I'm impressed Blazing Souls is finally gonna make it outside Japan. Great job, as always, Aksys.
7.14.10 at 5:29 amDamn, I was really dying for another Idea Factory title. Spectral Souls was amazing ( excluding the loading times ), I hope this title has great success to warrant a Spectral Force Legacy release in the near future.

I'm growing a garden specifically for my cats, which has proven more of a task than I thought! I have my list of non-poisonous plants - an they include roses. My roses never get enough attention anyway, so I'd like to move them into the enclosure so they will be watered and enjoyed more. My 16x16' deck is also enclosed here, so I spend lots of time outside with the kitties.
I have a path from the fence gate to the deck steps, curved and lined with brick, filled with landscape fabric and red granite stones. The cats LOVE walking the bricks, so I plan to keep using them in and around things. I'm not very keen on going in there with the weed whacker and mowing the grass, even though I know the cats like to play in it... and catch lots of grasshoppers to bring in the house ;-) Here is my question. I have a few options with the roses. I've decided they will go perpendicular to the start of the stone walkway, along the fence. I can: 1 - put the 3 roses in a row, 2' apart, next to the fence, line the area with landscape fabric, and cover with more red stones like a big rectangle.
I'm leaning toward the last option, so the weeding won't involve rose thorns, but does landscape fabric provide adequate ventilation and water to the roses? I have two hybrid teas: Princess Diana, a Double Delight, and an unknown floribunda that I may replace. Any input would be much appreciated. Gina |

I'd skip the landscape fabric and stone. It makes it very difficult to fertilize the roses and weeds will eventually start to grow on top of it. I have one spot where I use the fabric as I don't want anything to grow there, but I don't use it anywhere else. The stones look pretty but don't breakdown and improve the soil the way a mulch does, and they don't block weeds very well either. Instead, use newspaper or cardboard around the perimeter of the rose with mulch on top of it. That works well to block the weeds. You might want to try a small nepeta (catmint) instead of sedum as a rose companion. There's one at Bluestone that sounds very good for what you'd want. I don't have any myself but it's on my list of companions to try out and I know cats like it. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Bluestone Nepeta

oooh, that is really pretty. I'll look in to that. I am thinking myself that the fabric may keep the water and fertilizer away from the roses and I don't want that. The sedum is very low growing so I may just keep it around the borders and along the fence. Hopefully with proper watering it will prevent most of the weeds. My rose patch looks awful now, but it's under a young oak tree and I never even get out there. I really like that Nepeta, I didn't know there were more types of it. My alyssum and chamomile were problems for me this year, they are ok for kitties as well. Hostas and ferns are ok, so I want to find a nice collection of them for the other side of the walkway where it is more shady. I'm sure the roses will appreciate being taken care of better, and I'll sure enjoy them more. Thanks for the response Gina |

Please help. I have come across hundreds of old wooden berry crates. These are the flat slatted syle some with a divider down the middle some not. Not to be confused with the berrier carrier that had handles. These held the twelve little hallock boxes to pick berries in. They are in great shape and some have the owner farm logo on the ends. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanks

hi wow sounds like a real find. the stuff with decent labels is good junk that was my first thought to stack them and make deck tables, plants bases, maybe clean thenup and use for nick nack shelves, , cleaned up and maybe add a small shelf or two they would very saleable as shelves , I have a coke rack in the kitchen with junk on it. 2 or 3 stacks with a door or other top for a table ?? maybe use some of the cleaner ones primed and enameled for nicer table bases for the house. sounds like some of the stuff you see in finer decor and g.h. mags. or some jolly wood decorators "stuff" i.e. "junk".. just the loose boards are very usable because they are cut thin and well aged they are natural picture frames, and nick nack shelve material.. just hope they get used Rick |

Mac computer & Allnurses. Anyone else have this problem?
1May 9, '11 by RockinChick66Good Morning,
I have a MacBookPro with OS X and it's always been so slow when trying to load www.allnurses.com.
I don't experience this problem with ANY other website other than allnurses. It's so slow in loading that sometimes I just give up. ;( I've done google searches that tell me to "repair disk permissions" which I have done many times. It fixes the problem temporarily and then the slowness comes right back.
Just wondering if anybody else experiences this same problem.
Thanks in advance.The Pain likes this. -
0May 9, '11 by traumaRUs, MSN, APRN, CNS AdminHmm - I just got a Macbook Air and love it - its sooo fast.
Let me bump this over to our tech support guy. -

Thanks for sending to tech.

View a list of animals currently in our Animal Adoption Center
All animals adopted from the Carrollton Animal Services and Adoption Center must have a current rabies vaccination. If the new pet is not currently vaccinated, we will transport the animal to a local veterinarian to receive a rabies vaccination. The fee associated with the vaccination will be paid by the adopter to the veterinarian. You new pet must also be spayed or neutered. If you new pet is not already altered, you will be required to choose a vet in Carrollton and we will deliver your pet for this procedure. You will be responsible for all fees related to having your pet altered. These fees will be paid by you directly to the veterinary clinic. The Animal Adoption Center does not guarantee the health of any animal adopted. Any and all medical cost incurred by an adopted animal will be the adopters sole responsibility. Adoption Procedures
The Animal Adoption Center holds most stray animals for 5 days to allow time for an owner to reclaim his/her pet. Adoptions are completed on a first-come, first-serve basis unless more then one person is present at the same time to adopt a pet. In this case a numbered ticket will be distributed to each perspective adopter and a drawing will occur. The first ticket drawn will be provided the first the opportunity to adopt. We will not reserve an animal under any circumstances.

Quesadillas, Revamped
by Robin Miller in Robin's Healthy Take, May 28, 2012
Not a week goes by when we don't have quesadillas in our house. Breakfast, lunch or dinner – quesadillas are perfect for kids, parents, grandparents and friends because you can slap whatever you want between two tortillas and enjoy a mouth-watering, cheesy treat in minutes.
I cook quesadillas at home all the time, but we also order them out a lot, so I decided to check the stats. I wish I didn't. Depending on where you dine, one quesadilla can have almost 1,500 calories, more than 100 grams of fat and 2 days worth of salt. And that's without the side of sour cream. What are they putting in there, pork rinds? Flour tortillas are almost fat free so it's the filling that sends numbers soaring. I was seriously shocked. And if you eat quesadillas regularly, you know that you often eat something ELSE with them. Read it and weep:
Restaurant Quesadilla
Nutrition Info Per Serving (1 quesadilla – range in numbers reflects different restaurants)

Total Fat: 26-103 grams
Saturated Fat: 14-39 grams
Total Carbohydrate: 51-72 grams
Sugars: 0-1 gram
Protein: 22-73 grams
Sodium: 1177-3300 milligrams
Cholesterol: around 60 (some restaurants did not list cholesterol)

Spiritual Insights
The mystical teachings of the Torah offer profound insights on the deeper nature of Tu B'Shevat
I live in Connecticut, and all I see this time of the year is snow and bare branches. What's the point of celebrating the "New Year for Trees" in January?
Tu B'Shvat: a Mystical Interpretation
The Kabbalists teach that with the simple act of eating fruit on Tu B'Shvat we "rectify" the sin of Adam and Eve. To understand the dynamics of this cosmic repair, we most first explore the mystic significance of pleasure...
Ecology is a highly practical branch of science: nothing could be more "down to earth" than preservation of the planet. Yet there is a facet of ecological awareness that is often overlooked: the spiritual dimension.
Insights Into Tu B'Shevat
Where does the Jewish obsession with food come from? Actually, there are some deep spiritual roots to the Jewish obsession with food- what, how, and when it should be consumed...
