Today is a day when many people need a little comfort reading, myself included. There are a bunch of Edith Layton historical romances on sale for .99c – $2.99 right now – perfect for those who love excellent historical romance with amazing characters. Layton was a superb historical author (I loved her book The Duke's Wager, which isn't out digitally yet) and these books all have very high review averages. Treat yourself!
The Choice is on sale for $2.99 and is book two in the "C" series (seriously, that's what it's called). Book one, The Cad, is currently $5.69 digitally. The rest in the series are on sale, as well. The Choice has a 3.8 star average at Goodreads.
A lovely young woman whose ethereal beauty has enchanted the London ton, Miss Gillian Giles can combat a suitor's unwanted embrace with deadly efficiency. But her talent for self-protection can't help her stave off the most proper advances of one Damon Ryder, the Season's most eligible bachelor. Caught in a compromising position with him–one that could irreparably ruin her reputation–Gilly is dismayed when Damon unhesitatingly offers marriage.
Most young ladies would be thrilled to land such a handsome, wealthy husband. Gilly, however, has a mind of her own–and more than a few secrets to hide. She believes marriage to Damon to be impossible, but Damon is equally determined to convince her otherwise. And if he isn't enough trouble, two other suitors, both charmingly irresistible, have now set their sights on winning her, too. Pursued by three devilishly persuasive men, how can the headstrong Gilly possibly resist falling in love?

The Chance is $.99 right now, and is book three in the series. This book features a shy hero who is a war hero, but utterly lost when it comes to things like courtship. He's required by his honor and a momentary mixup to marry an unconventional heroine – so it's part forced/arranged marriage with shy hero (you can tell I'm all over this one, right? Yeah.)
A brave nobleman who'd successfully fought Napoleon's toughest soldiers, Raphael Dalton was no stranger to treachery and warfare. Yet nothing this modest hero has experienced can prepare him for the famous beauty Annabelle, the toast of the London With his unruly red hair and solid, honest face, Rafe doesn't think he has a chance with the flirtatious beauty who seems not to notice him. And when scandal threatens to ruin the reputation of a friend's sister, Breanna, Rafe's hopes may be dashed for good.
To stop malicious tongue-wagging, Rafe offers to marry the exotic, raven-haired beauty. It isn't only honor, though, that sparks the proposal, for a smodering attraction draws him to this spirited woman as well. Little does Rafe know, however, that Annabelle still wants him for her own.
While he's a master at outwitting opponents on the battlefield, the painfully shy soldier is defenseless when it comes to the fairer sex—and Annabelle will use every weapon she can, while Breanna hopes for his attention too. Now Rafe has the chance to find true love — but only if he doesn't lose his head.

The Challenge is book #5 in the series, and is $.99c. It's got a rakish ex-pat viscount named Hathaway Wycoff (I AM SO SOLD ON THIS NAME) and a destitute widow in America, and attraction that the heroine is trying to resist. Plus, it has a 3.7 average on Goodreads.
Wealthy, handsome, and devastatingly charming, the expatriate Viscount Hathaway Wycoff could easily win most women's affections. But the lovely Lucy Stone isn't most women. Though the self-respecting beauty is drawn to him, she refuses to give in to passion. Once before Lucy had followed her heart–a journey that took her to America and left her there a penniless young widow and mother.
A rich relative unexpectedly offers Lucy and her son passage back to England, answering her longtime prayer. She doesn't want to leave Wycoff, but given his scandalous reputation, it seems the right choice. Wycoff promises he will change to win her, but Lucy cannot allow herself to believe him.
When a devious plot threatens all Lucy holds dear, she must turn to the man she's vowed not to trust. Neither knows what final destination fate has in store–but they are willing to risk everything to find out.

The Conquest is .99c, and it's an injured hero/medical heroine story. (Seriously, I think I'm buying all of these. I give up.)
Many times Alexandria Gascoyne has been called upon to nurse forest animals back to health — but never before have her brothers brought her a wounded man! Though pale and grievously injured, the unconscious nobleman in Alexandria's bed is as striking a male as she has ever seen. But this is a time for tender healing, not for fantasy and dreams that leave an innocent maid flushed and breathless.
An angel has brought the Earl of Drummond back to life. Her smile is a delight, her touch is ecstasy. Yet freedom-loving Drum knows he must leave the exquisite Alexandria as soon as he is able. Being discovered alone with this stunning country miss could lead to only scandal…or, worse, to matrimony! And Drum dares not expose her to the perils of world. But how can he abandon this incomparable lady who mended his damaged heart — then conquered it with kindness, passion, and love?

To Wed a Stranger is .99c, and is an arranged marriage story featuring a character from The Chance. This book has a hero described in the copy as "exquisitely average." My wallet is doomed.
Is it possible? The breathtaking Lady Annabelle has actually agreed to marry, sight unseen, a gentleman of her father's choosing — the self-proclaimed "exceptionally average" Miles Croft. The ton is aghast! After scandalously toying with so many hearts, why is the exquisite Annabelle chaining herself to the new Viscount Pelham, a complete — albeit most attractive — stranger?
Could it be that her own heart has been irreparably shattered, and she wants nothing more to do with romance?
Yet there is certainly nothing "average" about their wedding night! There is magic in Miles's touch, and the smoldering ecstasy it ignites threatens to consume them both. Dare Annabelle dream this is the one passionate and enduring love she ached for in secret, but never dreamed she'd be worthy of? Might this tender, mysterious lover truly be the scarlet lady's redemption — and could she be Miles's as well?
Goodreads | Amazon | BN | Kobo | iBooks
To Tempt a Bride is .99c, and holy smoke is this my catnip. The heroine is in love with the hero, but she's the sister of his best friend and as such is Off Limits. Reading is good for jet lag, right? Of course, it is!
From the moment she first saw tall, dashing Eric Ford, Camille's heart was lost. In her most cherished fantasy she is standing by his side, exchanging sacred wedding vows with her beloved. But Eric seems content to be no more than her unofficial protector, watching over the younger sister of his dear friend—and, despite her every attempt to open his eyes, it appears Camille's dream of wedded bliss might never come true.
Eric knows a spirited and passionate beauty like Camille deserves much better than him, an ex-military man who has no patience for the games of the ton. Still, he aches each time a potential suitor approaches her, or when he sees her dancing in another man's arms. Eric knows he will never be complete until Camille is his. With each lingering glance and caressing touch he must tempt the lady to be his bride.
But when danger and betrayal threaten, will it destroy a secret love…or bind two hearts for all eternity?

Goo is fine. Very strong in team battles. Doesn't need to deal damage when you can slow multiple players. Also, it has a pretty decent range. I think psn trail works fine as is. Move around if you want to psn someone. Singe is all about positioning, and should be so even for toe-to-toe bashings.
I think flashing to escape fling damage is ok. Adds depth to the game. Yi's immunity to poison trail needs to be fixed though.
Junior Member
I don't know what game you've been playing but Singe has wrecked every game I've ever seen him in. He's far too difficult to kill. All he does is pop that speed potion, throw some glue down and it's gg.
Singed needs a nerf... mainly in his 'tank' status. Hes much more of a damage dealer and harrasser then a tank. He should be more squishy really since he does great damage and is difficult enough to kill as it is. If his ability to eat damage is nerfed I can see him then getting a small (yes small) buff to his damage in exchange. Right now though I find him to be rather cheap and annoying.

Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Woe to thee, O city of blood, all full of lies and violence: rapine shall not depart from thee. | 1 Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without victims! |
2 The noise of the whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the neighing horse; and of the running chariot, and of the horsemen coming up, | 2 The crack of whips, the clatter of wheels, galloping horses and jolting chariots! |
3 And of the shining sword, and of the glittering spear, and of a multitude slain, and of a grievous destruction: and there is no end of carcasses, and they shall fall down on their dead bodies. | 3 Charging cavalry, flashing swords and glittering spears! Many casualties, piles of dead, bodies without number, people stumbling over the corpses-- |
4 Because of the multitude of the fornications of the harlot that was beautiful and agreeable, and that made use of witchcraft, that sold nations through her fornications, and families through her witchcrafts. | 4 all because of the wanton lust of a harlot, alluring, the mistress of sorceries, who enslaved nations by her prostitution and peoples by her witchcraft. |
5 Behold I come against thee, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will discover thy shame to thy face, and will shew thy nakedness to the nations, and thy shame to kingdoms. | 5 "I am against you," declares the LORD Almighty. "I will lift your skirts over your face. I will show the nations your nakedness and the kingdoms your shame. |
6 And I will cast abominations upon thee, and will disgrace thee, and will make an example of thee. | 6 I will pelt you with filth, I will treat you with contempt and make you a spectacle. |
7 And it shall come to pass that every one that shall see thee, shall flee from thee, and shall say: Ninive is laid waste: who shall bemoan thee? whence shall I seek a comforter for thee? | 7 All who see you will flee from you and say, 'Nineveh is in ruins--who will mourn for her?' Where can I find anyone to comfort you?" |
8 Art thou better than the populous Alexandria, that dwelleth among the rivers? waters are round about it: the sea is its riches: the waters are its walls. | 8 Are you better than Thebes, situated on the Nile, with water around her? The river was her defense, the waters her wall. |
9 Ethiopia and Egypt were the strength thereof, and there is no end: Africa and the Libyans were thy helpers. | 9 Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength; Put and Libya were among her allies. |
10 Yet she also was removed and carried into captivity: her young children were dashed in pieces at the top of every street, and they cast lots upon her nobles, and all her great men were bound in fetters. | 10 Yet she was taken captive and went into exile. Her infants were dashed to pieces at the head of every street. Lots were cast for her nobles, and all her great men were put in chains. |
11 Therefore thou also shalt be made drunk, and shalt be despised: and thou shalt seek help from the enemies. | 11 You too will become drunk; you will go into hiding and seek refuge from the enemy. |
12 All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with their green figs: if they be shaken, they shall fall into the mouth of the eater. | 12 All your fortresses are like fig trees with their first ripe fruit; when they are shaken, the figs fall into the mouth of the eater. |
13 Behold thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open to thy enemies, the fire shall devour thy bars. | 13 Look at your troops-- they are all women! The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire has consumed their bars. |
14 Draw thee water for the siege, build up thy bulwarks: go into the clay, and tread, work it and make brick. | 14 Draw water for the siege, strengthen your defenses! Work the clay, tread the mortar, repair the brickwork! |
15 There shall the fire devour thee: thou shalt perish by the sword, it shall devour thee like the bruchus: assemble together like the bruchus, make thyself many like the locust. | 15 There the fire will devour you; the sword will cut you down and, like grasshoppers, consume you. Multiply like grasshoppers, multiply like locusts! |
16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchandises above the stars of heaven: the bruchus hath spread himself and flown away. | 16 You have increased the number of your merchants till they are more than the stars of the sky, but like locusts they strip the land and then fly away. |
17 Thy guards are like the locusts: and thy little ones like the locusts of locusts which swarm on the hedges in the day of cold: the sun arose, and they flew away, and their place was not known where they were. | 17 Your guards are like locusts, your officials like swarms of locusts that settle in the walls on a cold day-- but when the sun appears they fly away, and no one knows where. |
18 Thy shepherds have slumbered, O king of Assyria, thy princes shall be buried: thy people are hid in the mountains, and there is none to gather them. | 18 O king of Assyria, your shepherds slumber; your nobles lie down to rest. Your people are scattered on the mountains with no one to gather them. |
19 Thy destruction is not hidden, thy wound is grievous: all that have heard the fame of thee, have clapped their hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually? | 19 Nothing can heal your wound; your injury is fatal.

Nora needs a middle name!
Should our little bug turn out to be a girl, we are pretty settled on Nora. But with our short hard sounding last name of C00k, we need something longer in the middle. Most other names I like also are 2 syllables and end in A and are too repetitive.
Looking for suggestions for a longer name that isn't too frilly and doesn't end in a. Go!

Miami All Stars Take Local Clichés National in Semifinals of America's Got Talent
Categories: Film and TV
Get dark and sexy with Miami All Stars. |
We didn't think it was possible but the team of gyrating hips actually sped up traditional salsa, merengue, cumbia, and we're sure a bunch of other Latino dances (but who can actually distinguish them) to form hybrid, even faster paced dance numbers than what you see locally. We're so proud that we've actually broken an unwritten rule by discussing the show: the one that says we are never, ever, under no circumstance to mention anything even remotely associated with one of the judges on the show, Howie Mandel.
Besides the great dancing, the Miami All Stars brings several other local attributes to the national stage: tanned and tight bodies, short skirts, girly tank tops on guys, a Pitbull soundtrack, and, of course, Spanglish.
We also found a similarity between these all stars and our favorite basketball team - they both speak almost entirely in clichés. The diminutive leader of the troupe answered a question how they feel to progress to the later stretches of the competition with a string of clichés, starting at the 5 minute mark of the video below. He also committed a classic faux pas: Don't correct the judges when they are complimenting you. If germ freak Howie Mandel says you are "mucho caliente," agree with him. Don't tell him he should say "muy caliente." But we're not hating, the important part is the caliente. We hope the dancers keep it up.
The Miami All Stars will perform again in the semifinals of America's Got Talent on Tuesday at 9 p.m. on NBC.

Special reports
The new King and Queen had five months in which to prepare for their coronation, during which time they became closer than ever. "They were so particularly together: they leant so much on the other," recalled Elizabeth's sister Rose. The new King kept to the coronation date that had been set for his brother - May 12, 1937. Elizabeth's role on the day was, as ever, to soothe the King's nerves. They had been woken at 3am by loudspeakers being tested in The Mall and, as Bertie wrote later, "I could eat no breakfast and had a sinking feeling inside."
Tory MP Chips Channon recorded Elizabeth's demeanor in the Abbey as "dignified but smiling". The processions and ceremony lasted from 11am to 5pm, after which the couple had to pose for interminable photographs and, still in full regalia, make five appearances on the Palace balcony. For the King there was one final ordeal, a live radio broadcast linking millions of his subjects throughout the world. With Elizabeth by his side he told them: "The Queen and I will always keep in our hearts the inspiration of this day."

I've had a few varieties of iris over the years, but this is the first time I've ever seen seed pods. Currently, I have only 2 varieties: Albo variegata and Aureo variegata, which bloomed at the same time, after all the neighborhood bearded iris. So, I could presume that the Albo fertilized the Aureo. I know that rarely do iris come true from seed. My question is this: how likely are the babies to be variegated? I'm not terribly great at seed starting, so ideally, I'd love to sow them into the garden. I'd love tips on this. Any thoughts? |

No one is answering, so even though I am not the best person to answer I will try. I think only if no one else in the twin cities has iris can you decide that you know who is the pollen parent for your seed pods. I don't really know how variegation works as far as a trait that is passed on, but it would be interesting to see the results of the crosses whatever they are. I read a forum post on "that other garden site" where the poster said that the pod parent had to be variegated for the trait to be passed on. Whether that person knows what they are talking about I can't say. I have heard that the sooner the seed is sown after it matures the better. I included a link to a page about irises from seed. |

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.

Report: U.S. Shoots Down Iranian Drone Flying Over Iraq
Friday, March 13, 2009
An American fighter jet took down an Iranian drone over Iraq last
month, U.S. military sources told Wired.com.
The U.S. has long accused Tehran of supplying militant groups in Iraq
with weapons and training, Wired reported. While the flow of Iranian
weapons into Iraq has slowed, Shiite militias have fired Iranian
rockets at U.S. troops and Sunni militias reportedly use Iranian bombs
to destroy U.S. military vehicles.
Iran has supplied the terrorist group Hezbollah with several models of
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Iran's deputy defense minister
claimed in February that the country's latest UAVs can fly as far as
600 miles. If true, the Iranian drones could fly over any U.S.
military installation in the Middle East, including Iraq, Wired
Multi-National Corps would not confirm or deny the previously
unreported incident to Wired.com.
The alleged incident comes at a particularly sensitive time, when the
Obama administration is looking for ways to reach out to Iran
diplomatically and trying to spark renewed relations.

I've got a couple of swap boxes to pack up today, & I want to thank the people I agreed to swap with for their patience. December was such a crazy busy month, in a good way, but still very exhausting, & then I kind of hid out at Tony's for a week or so. So I feel like I'm just finally getting my feet back on the ground, & I'll have to take off running soon because I have my big annual Birthday Gala performance in a couple of weeks, & all I've played for the last month or so has been HoliDaze music. Gotta pull out my lead sheets & brush up on my Jazz, start warming up my vocal chords too, update my website, & promote the event so people will come! If you build it, they will come! :)
This is the 'Pearl' tea that proved to me that all pearl teas are not the same. This one features a sweet fruity richness, along with a little malt & a dark chocolate finish. I've enjoyed this tea, & have enough for one more cup, which I might send to a friend, still not sure who, & then it will be a sipdown. I'm sorry to see this company go.
Oh no! I didn't know they were closing. I would have bought some of their teas last month if I had known. :(

We're redoing our master bath and I am searching for porcelain tile that looks like travertine or crema marfil marble. I would like to have the floor tile rectangular, laid in a herringbone pattern, and the wall tile rectangular, laid in a brick pattern with a 50%, not 30-335, overlap---if that is the way to describe it. I can find many square porcelain tiles but no rectangular tiles that are smaller than 12 x 24. I have been told that tiles 18" or smaller have fewer problems with lippage. Can a rectified 18" porcelain tile be cut in half and laid in a herringbone pattern? One tile store person told me it wouldn't work, because the cut edge of the tile would chip. Another tile store person told me it would work if the tile is rectified.. Also, can a 12 x 24 tile be laid in the brick 50% overlap pattern, if a lashing system is used to adjust the height of the tile? If so, what lashing system works best? Thank you in advance for your advice. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am not a tile expert but I do know that Daltile has a porcelain tile in there Florentine series that mimics Crema Marfil. They have 24x24, 12x24, 12x12 and 2x4 brick joint mosaic in a matte finish. They have 12x24 and and10x14 in glossy finish. I have not seen the Crema Marfil in person but my DD just had their Florentine Carrara installed in her bathroom. Her tiler thought the tile was a very nice quality. Everyone that has seen the installed tile thinks it looks great. Maybe the Crema Marfil would work for you if it can be cut to the sizes you want. Just in case you are interested here is what the Florentine Carrara looks like in her bathroom. And here is a picture of the Crema Marfil from Daltile's website |

Badgergal, your daughter's bathroom is stunning and seeing the tile laid in a stacked layout is very good-looking. I hope that bill_vincent, mongoct or Stonetech will confirm that an 18" square porcelain rectified tile can be cut in half so that it can be laid in a herringbone pattern. I'll look for the Daltile crema marfil tile and I appreciate that you provided the suggestion and the link. Thanks. |

Bump----hoping to hear from the tile experts! |
- Posted by jerzeegirl (My Page) on Fri, May 23, 14 at 23:51
You can try to find 9 x 18" porcelain tile with the travertine look. |

Look for Enduring's herringbone thread in the bathroom forum. Mongoct gave her several posts from cutting them (which she did) to how to figure out the pattern. Good luck. |
- Posted by nancyaustin (My Page) on Sat, May 24, 14 at 11:03
IowaCommute, thank you very much for the suggestion. I found the April 6, 2012 thread about cutting enduring's slate tiles and mongoct's detailed layout instructions. Very helpful! However, my understanding that natural stone tiles, including the slate that enduring was using, is a good product to be cut and that the cut edge will look fine. (I did this on the travertine tile we used in our laundry room.) However, some of the tile sales people tell me that cutting rectified porcelain tile produces a cut edge that is not acceptable. I've not found a rectangular floor tile that is 9 x 18 or 6 x 12 that looks like travertine or other stone. I have found 18" square porcelain throughbody rectified tile that I hope can be cut in half to produce the 9 x 18 tile I'd like to use for a herringbone pattern. I am hoping that the tile experts will assure me that the tile can be cut and look fine. Or, if anyone knows of a source of rectangular porcelain floor tile that looks like stone, that would be great, too. |

Here is one for you in 9 x 18". Try typing "9 x 18 Porcelain Travertine look" into a google search and you will get some hits. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Florida Tile

jerzeegirl, thank you. I found this tile but the 9 x 18 is only for wall use, not floor. |
Yes, it can certainly be cut to the size you need. "Dressing" the cuts with a "rub stone" will break any sharp edges and, with the grout installed, there should be absolutely no problems with it. |
- Posted by nancyaustin (My Page) on Tue, May 27, 14 at 0:39
Thank you so much, StoneTech! I can find many 18" or 20" square tiles that I like so knowing that they can be but in half and "dressed" should work. What do you think of having 10 x 20 inch tiles laid in a brick pattern with a 50% overlap? Will lippage be a problem? |
Nancy~ It all depends on how flat the tiles are. If they're "perfect," a 50/50 overlap should be good. If they're "bowed" then a 1/3 overlap should be used to eliminate any lippage. Pictures, we need pictures! |
NancyAustin, I am not a tile expert but you are on the right track to come in here and ask the experts and do searches and find your answers. My thoughts on the matter is keep looking till you find the right tile. If you are going to ask your tile guy to make all those cuts and dress all those edges your are going to run your labor costs though the roof. I had my tile guy make baseboards out of natural stone and that went ok cause it was soft and he was able to quickly sand smooth the cut edge but for 2 of the cuts on that tile he had a finished edge to work with and did not have to mess with it. You are asking for each and every tile to be sanded and porcelain is rock hard... don't know how that would go..... Also the beauty of porcelain is you have that razor straight edge to do tight joints...... You are better off to keep looking IMO and find something that is more inline with what you ultimately want.. Sometimes this takes a long time to find the exact "that it" tile. I have looked for a couple of years to find the "that's it" tile. |

More Information Needed
- In 2008, EPA collected sediment samples in the Delaware River basin in areas contiguous to the General Chemical Corporation's (GCC) facility. The data resulting from this effort indicated elevated levels of arsenic, lead and DDT in the sediment media.
- In the Fall 2011, accumulated sediment and debris were removed from the storm sewers of the facility's' North Plant to eliminate future discharge of source material to the Delaware River.
- Removal of Sediment from the Facility's "Sluiceway" in the South Plant is currently on-going to further reduce the possibility of contaminated material discharging to the River.
- Sediment sampling is continuing in the Delaware River to define the extent of contamination and to develop interim remedial measures to address any potential risk.
- The former General Chemical facility also known as the Delaware Valley Works ("DVW") was a chemical manufacturing plant located in Claymont, New Castle County, Delaware ("Facility"). The Facility consists of approximately one hundred acres, which is divided by Route 13 into two separate plants, referred to as the "DVW North Plant" and "DVW South Plant". Two-thirds of the DVW North Plant is located in Pennsylvania with the remainder situated in Delaware. Virtually all of the DVW South Plant is located in Delaware. A variety of inorganic chemicals and pesticides were manufactured at the Facility during different periods since it began operation in the very late 1890's. General Chemical acquired the Facility from Allied Signal in 1986. Allied Signal retained ownership of several contiguous parcels of property upon which chemical operations were conducted and continue today.
- In October 2002, General Chemical and certain of its affiliates filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware for reorganization relief. General Chemical subsequently emerged from bankruptcy under an approved Reorganization Plan in October 2003.
- RCRA Corrective Action activities at the GCC facility are being conducted under the direction of EPA Region 3 with assistance from the State.
Cleanup History
- In September 2000 EPA issued an Administrative Order to the General Chemical Corporation which requires a facility wide investigation and cleanup of the former GCC facility in Claymont, DE. The Administrative Order was issued pursuant to Section 3008(h) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The requirements of the order include:
- Interim Measures/Stabilization to achieve the initial goal of controlling ground water releases and controlling current human and ecological exposure to contaminated media;
- RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI) if warranted, to provide more in-depth information about Solid Waste Management Units (SWMUs), and;
- Corrective Measures Study (CMS) if warranted, to propose final cleanup actions needed.
- GCC, with EPA and State oversight, has completed a Phase I and Phase II RFI. This included the collection of groundwater and soil samples for 28 SWMUs. The data resulting from these investigations will be used to evaluate and characterize the nature and extent of potential contamination. EPA and the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control will oversee all investigations, interim actions and cleanup activities conducted at the GCC facility.
Contaminants and Risks
- Metals, volatile organic compounds and pesticides, including DDT, are the main constituents of concern found in soils, sediments and groundwater at the facility.
Institutional Controls
- Institutional controls, if required, will be determined at the time of remedy selection.

I just bought a Mahothiana supreme in full bloom. Can't wait to plant her next weekend... What is the best time to shape and prune a Japonica for esplaier?
Follow-Up Postings:
Do the pruning right after she blooms, and as the new shoots get long enough, tie them to your support so they harden up in the position you want them. - Steve |

New Delhi, India – West Indies will not have the services of Dwayne Bravo for the rest of the ICC Cricket World Cup, but the allrounder will be with the team in spirit.
Skipper Darren Sammy said on Sunday that the team will be taking "inspiration" from Bravo as they face the Netherlands in their second Group B match on Monday. First ball in the day/night match at Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium is 2.30 pm (5 am Eastern Caribbean Time/4 am Jamaica Time).
NEW DELHI, India, CMC – West Indies Head Coach Ottis Gibson said on Saturday that his can ill afford to slip-up against the Netherlands in the ICC Cricket World Cup on Monday.
The West Indies coach refused to describe the Dutch as "minnows", and recognised this opponent had proved a point with a solid performance in their opening match against England, when all-rounder Ryan ten Doeschate led them to 292-6 from their 50 overs, and Andrew Strauss' side overhauled the total with just eight deliveries remaining.
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka – Pakistan overcame a shoddy display on the field to beat Sri Lanka by 11 runs in a Group A match in ICC Cricket World Cup match at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Saturday.
Leading the charge for Pakistan was inspirational skipper Shahid Afridi who picked 4-34 to lead his side to the win. Pakistan posted 277-7 in their 50 overs and Sri Lanka were limited to 266-9 from 50 overs.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Well placed hostel just at the north end of the old town. Room clean and comfortable. Staff friendly. Not really for people aiming to get any sleep though as the rooms come off the lounge area where the TV and kitchen is. Technically only open 07.00-23.00, but this did mean we got woken up at 07.00 every morning by chatty people having breakfast.

"Love love love this recipe! I usually follow this recipe exactly, besides the vinegar, because I never remember to get it at the grocery store, but tonight I tried something new. I put a dash of crushed red pepper, a clove of garlic, diced, and a teaspoon of lemon juice, and it was great! This is a good change if you like a spicy kick to your food!"

Since you hate cam so much, what were the alternative choices the Panthers could ahve made?
I don't "hate" Cam. I see obvious flaws in his game and am not afraid to talk about them, just like every other QB coming out this year had obvious flaws making them not worthy of being drafted #1.
I wanted us to shore up our defensive line or go BPA, but why are we talking about this now? It's too late.
Hopefully Cam can correct his deficiencies enough to beat out Jimmy and Derek and start for this team and be the superstar at the QB position we've lacked for a while, because that's the only way to win.

I believe that the support received from Canada should be more then you pay a refugee who has just landed here. Why is the Government of Canada hurting those who have paid their dues. It is unfair and a shame that you the elected representatives of Canada would do this to your voters. We want to see a change in our monetary support or you will lose our election support

Fifth Street Finance's CEO Discusses F3Q12 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Before I begin, I would like to point out that this call is being recorded. Replay information is included in our July 12, 2012 press release and is posted on our website www.fifthstreetfinance.com. Please note that this call is the property of Fifth Street Finance Corp. Any unauthorized rebroadcast of this call in any form is strictly prohibited. Today's conference call includes forward looking statements and projections and we ask that you refer to our most recent filings with the SEC for important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements and projections.
We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements unless required by law. To obtain copies of our latest SEC filings, please visit our website or call Investor Relations at 914-286-6855. The format for today's call is as follows: Len will provide an overview, Bernie will provide an update on our capital structure, and Alex will summarize the financials, and then we'll open the line for Q&A.
I will now turn the call over to our CEO, Len Tannenbaum.
Len Tannenbaum
Thank you. We're excited to have Dean as our Senior Vice-President of Finance and Head of Investor Relations. Dean is our formal analyst at UBS, where he covered both BDCs and mortgage rates. I encourage you to reach after him, and learn about Fifth Street BDCs. U.S. and European Union governments face an immense fiscal challenge. Its deficits continue to rise. A handful of EU governments are starting to cut spending after being required to do so, by bond markets and regulators. On the other hand, U.S. deficit spending is benefiting from record low interest rates courtesy of central bank's quantitative easing and investor's flight-to-quality assets. But how long will this last? Polarized Congress, White House are avoiding the difficult positions on taxes and spending. The lack of compromise is creating a dysfunctional environment in Washington, with the Senate unable to pass a proper budget in over three years. But the markets will soon focus on the upcoming fiscal cliff, which we believe will not be addressed by Congress and the White House until 2013.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The Frugal Flugel Recommends: Pure Michigan! The Frugal Flugel recommends MICHIGAN.ORG,the Wolverine State's official trip planner and travel guide!
Michigan Tour Diary — Day 6 Dmitri Matheny Group JAZZ NOIRMichigan Tour Diary — Day 6April 13-16 Dearborn to Escanaba to SouthfieldBrrrr! Who knew Michigan in April would be a scene from Currier & Ives?Three cheers for Sassy, my amazing girlfriend, driver and tour manager,who celebrates her birthday today after a harrowing drive to the Upper Peninsula and back!That's 13 hours and 900 miles in the snow, hands gripping the wheel at 10 and 2, eyes on the icy road ahead,ever vigilant that Kamikaze Bambi could dart out from winter wonderland at any moment.Not an easy drive, but we made it, safe and sound. Taught two high school workshops on opposite sides of the state.Even had time to pause and enjoy a delicious Yooper Pasty in the quaint little town of Escanababefore heading south again.Now we're relaxing in a nice warm hotel, car parked, nothing on the schedule...until tomorrow, when it all starts up again.Happy Birthday, Sassy.
Michigan Tour Diary — Day 2 Dmitri Matheny Group JAZZ NOIRMichigan Tour Diary — Day 2April 11 Traverse City, MIAfter a four-hour flight to Detroit and a four-hour drive north through mist and fog,dodging deer along the way, we've arrived in Traverse City.TC is a small town (only 15,000 residents) but is the largest city in Northern Michigan, and something of a tourist destination. Situated on Grand Traverse Bay, Traverse is the self-proclaimed Cherry Capital of the US, and also produces wine grapes. Vacationing midwesterners come here for the freshwater beaches, vineyards, hiking and skiing.Surprisingly, they're here now. Our hotel is full up with families, which seems odd, because it's so cold outside, with ice and snow piled up along the roadside. Why vacation now? Is it spring break? So many kids.I hope a few of the older folks come to hear us tonight. It's always a white knuckle ride, arriving in a new place, wondering if anyone knows or cares that you're in town. You send announcements to traditional and social media, maybe do a couple of radio interviews, then it's out of your hands, entirely up to the Fates.This morning at breakfast I perused the local paper, searching vainly for a photo listing or any mention at all.Nope! No arts coverage. Just sports, real estate, gossip and TV listings.Will they come?Hope so! Regardless, I'm looking forward to the experience.Traverse City holds much nostalgia for me.30 years ago, when I was a teenager at Interlochen, we would come here on semi-chaperoned weekend bus trips to stroll around the shops, go to the movies and hang out away from campus.I held hands with my high school crush here.I also played my first ever paid gig in this town, a private party at the Maritime Hall.Our little jazz quintet only knew six tunes from memory.We played them all twice and made $50 each.

My colleagues have listed several of the Jetta's shortcomings, but I find it a fairly pleasant car to drive. The 2.5-liter engine is sufficiently powerful, the handling is acceptable, the fuel efficiency is okay. It's nothing to write home about, but a decent little car. On the plus side, it is now a little roomier, with more space in the back seat and a pretty good size trunk. The black interior on this test model didn't show itself at its best, but the layout of the controls is all very clean and clear, and the materials, while not Audi-level, are not bad. I'd definitely avoid the base-level engine, but the 2.5-liter unit in the SEL can also be found in the $18,000 SE, which makes it seem like a much better deal. Styling-wise, the Jetta is pretty anonymous -- VW can talk about its "dynamic and muscular" styling all they want, but really, to me it looks like just another sedan.
