Wonderful! As others have said, the key is fresh ingredients at their peak! We just made it with a Copper River filet, baby arugula we grew in our garden, a sweet spring onion from the farmers market and grape tomatos. Definitely a "do again" while the arugula is abundant!
This is a terrific recipe! Marinating, then pan-searing the salmon (I used Coho salmon filets) gives you a very moist, tender, flaky result. Even though I cooked it 3 min. longer when covered, to get a medium, rather than medium rare result, it still was 0utstanding. I'll use this method of cooking salmon again and again. And, it's terrific paired with the arugula salad--I substituted balsamic vinegar, which I prefer over red wine vinegar. A rice pilaf dish rounded out this wonderful meal.
Super easy and tasty. Fresh ingredients are the key. I served with rice and my 6 and 8 year olds asked for 2nds and 3rds!
Love the simplicity of this recipe! I made a simple sauce of diced green onions, parsley, 2 T. of olive oil, sea salt and pepper. Lovely spooned over the fish at the end. Usually I grill salmon but we are in a major snow storm and pan frying was a fantastic alternative. The skin was crispy and very much in demand. I served the salmon with scallion pancakes using a little of the sauce and adding it to plain yogurt was a great accomapaniment to the pancake.
I rated this 4 forks for ease, healthiness, and taste. A few readers complained that it was too simple but I actually appreciated the nudge to do more seafood--especially salmon--because I forget about it. I typically will do salmon under the broiler, but doing it in the pan, skin down, really helps to replicate the crisp skin that you get at a restaurant. I did cook the fish a bit longer than the recipe suggests because it is just too rare for my taste, otherwise. I added a few drops of balsamic vinegar to the salad and a few more onions.
What's wrong with a simple recipe using fresh ingredients? This was a great weeknight dinner.

An entire species faces a life-or-death crisis and needs your help! We're pretty sure they do, anyway.
Now, OK, we're having trouble coming up with accurate numbers for how many jackalopes remain in the wild. Our Jackalope Rescue Team still hasn't had much luck – OK, any luck – capturing any distressed or wounded jackalopes. And the only thing we've found on our Jackalope Sightseeing Tours is a lot of disappointed tourists.
All we can conclude from this is that the situation is extremely dire. If certified jackalopists like us can't even get our hands on one, they MUST be teetering on the brink of extinction.
Wear this shirt: because caring about real species is so Mark Trail.
Don't wear this shirt: under your jackalope fur coat. You're part of the problem!
This shirt tells the world: "I got it at the crypto-gift shop."
We call this color: Jackelly Green.

A lobbying organization thinks the Arizona Department of Transportation is heading down the wrong road.
State officials have compiled a list of projects that could be funded under a federal economic stimulus package, with an estimated total price tag of $1.2 billion. But the Arizona Public Interest Research Group thinks this list is too heavy on black asphalt with too few green alternatives.
"Arizona should be spending more on public transit, which not only would create more jobs, but would also reduce traffic, air pollution, and our dependence on oil," Arizona PIRG spokesman Alex Nelson said in a statement released Wednesday.
The criticism of ADOT was part of a larger effort by PIRG nationally to shift the emphasis toward transit and away from roads and highways.
PIRG examined the lists of transportation projects on which funds could be spent if made available from 18 states, including Arizona, constituting 56 percent of the U.S. population. The average state would spend more than 77 percent of funds on highways and only 17 percent on public transit or intercity rail.
Arizona has a highways-transit funding request ratio of $869 million to $8.5 million, making it one of seven states studied that were allocating 1 percent or less to transit.
PIRG also criticized Arizona and other states for their emphasis on the construction of new roads and highways, rather than the repair and improvement of what already exists. Nelson said the economic impact of maintenance is 9 percent greater than new construction, as much of the latter's costs stem from the acquisition of land.
ADOT officials did not immediately comment on the report.

Express Scripts And Medco Save Americans Tens Of Billions In Healthcare Costs, New Economic Report Shows
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Pharmacy benefit managers Express Scripts and Medco save employers, the federal government, labor unions, and consumers between $51 billion and $87 billion annually on the cost of prescription medications, according to a new report released today by economists Jonathan Orszag and Kevin Green of Compass Lexecon.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080827/EXPRESSSCRIPTSLOGO)
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111205/AQ16705LOGO)
" Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) save consumers billions of dollars, but most people do not know very much about the role such firms play in the healthcare system," said Orszag, who served as an Economic Policy Adviser on President Clinton's National Economic Council. "We hope this study shows the economic benefits created by PBMs today, the role that PBMs should play in constraining rising healthcare costs in the future and the role the merger of Express Scripts and Medco can play in accelerating those savings."
A copy of the report can be found at this link: http://www.compasslexecon.com/highlights/Documents/The%20Economic%20Benefits%20of%20Pharmacy%20Benefit%20Managers%20Orszag%20Green.pdf. The lower bound of the savings range is based on the Congressional Budget Office's findings that PBMs reduce drug costs by 30 percent. The analysis concludes that savings are likely even higher when financial benefits derived from increased discounts provided by drug manufacturers and the extensive clinical offerings are considered. In addition to driving down costs of prescription medications by negotiating favorable drug prices from manufacturers and retail pharmacies, PBMs such as Express Scripts and Medco have created a fully wired pharmacy system to:- Increase the efficiency of prescription management.
- Improve patient adherence to medications.
- Detect and close gaps in care.
- Use advanced systems to personalize pharmacy care for patients with chronic conditions and complex therapeutic needs.

Gross! I foster rescue dogs and the current dog apparently decided my living room cotton linen couch was a good place to urinate. Breathe. Breathe. I washed it up as well as I could with the cleaner that came with the couch originally. What is the next step? Where can I take it to make sure the cushion and cover are completely "urine-free"? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by groomingal (My Page) on Sat, Feb 28, 09 at 2:34
I would get another cushion insert- try contacting a professional upholsterer- and toss the one that got peed on. Then I would follow manufacturer directions on cleaning the cover. The smell of urine may not be noticeable to you but dogs can smell it regardless. In short it will never be "urine-free" but the cushion would retain the most odor despite any cleaning. Dogs have between 150-300 million scent receptors that can detect scent concentration up to 100 million times lower than human detection. Since you foster animals- this one incident can spark future (or current) furkids to mark the same spot. |

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.

The following is a selection of quotes from editorials and commentaries
published in 15 December editions of Iranian newspapers available to BBC
Monitoring at 0530 gmt.
Downing of US drone in Iran
Qods [hard-line]: "The US has lost another unmanned aircraft in
Seychelles Island... By creating media atmosphere, the Americans are
trying to cover up their weaknesses and failures... Now that various
efforts of the White House authorities have failed in getting back the
unmanned RQ-170 aircraft, by using variety of news, they are trying to
insinuate that the Iranians have not achieved any success... Now the
White House is forced to admit to the capabilities of Iran. The
successes achieved by the Islamic Republic despite extensive problems
created by Washington and its allies, have caused concern among the
Western leaders, especially Americans, and have made them panicky
regarding Iran's successes." (Editorial by Gholam Reza Qalandariyan
headlined "New US design for the purpose of psychological warfare")
Possible sanctions on Iranian oil
Resalat[conservative]: "According to the US laws, the American companies
are not allowed to deal with the companies which are under the sanctions
of the United States. However, this restriction does not include other
non-American companies... The threats against [to sanction] Iran's oil
exports and the fear of possible attack on Iran's nuclear facilities
have caused the price of oil to remain above 100 dollars per barrel...
Iran's foreign minister has warned that if the sanctions against Iran
continue, the price of oil will increase to 250 dollars per barrel."
(The commentary by Puriyah Mardani headlined "Sanctions which are
Iran's request from Interpol to "arrest" two US officials
Keyhan [hard-line]: "Iran's request to Interpol to arrest two US
officials... is the beginning of a legal battle. It means that contrary
to [US President Barack] Obama and [US Secretary of State Hillary]
Clinton's bluffs, it is the Islamic Republic [of Iran] which will send a
clear message to the cowboys... that the era of warmongering by Don
Quixote... is over and Islamic Iran 'has placed all options on the
table' in a powerful and practical manner, and not for the sake of
slogans." (Editorial by Hesamuddin Borumand headlined "Shots amidst a
meteoric state")
US withdrawal from Iraq
Hemayat [conservatives]: "The [issue of] withdrawal of US troops should
not be limited to their exit merely. It is the time to try the US and UK
leaders in court for the crimes committed by them for many years and
killing of innocent people in Iraq so that it could be a lesson for the
Western leaders, who resort to occupying the nations under humanitarian
claims that has ultimately resulted in nothing else but destruction and
devastation." (Commentary by Qasem Ghafuri headlined "Principle of exit
from Iraq")
Russian election
Mardom Salari [moderate]: "The Russia Duma elections were conducted
under conditions in which civil institutions of this country have been
suffering from extreme problems and all of them were lacking the
political inclinations and ability to justly and transparently compete
against the dominating party in Russia's political space. Therefore,
holding the elections was not helpful for the pro-democracy currents in
Russia but it became a tool in the hands of specific groups... that in
the past few years have openly proved that they do not want to comply
with democratic rules and safeguard the values of a political contest."
(Commentary by Mehdi Mal-Mir headlined "Russian elections, a repeat of
past examples or... [Ellipsis as published]")
US's Afghan policy
Siyasat-e Ruz [conservative]: "The US's policies in Afghanistan are not
meant to help resolve the problems of this country but they are directed
towards continuing the occupation [reference to NATO's presence]... The
measures, which are intended towards preserving the US's dominance and
weaken Afghanistan's central government, will definitely have
unfavourable consequences for the region and Afghanistan." (Commentary
by Ali Totmaj headlined "US's new game in Afghanistan")
Iran intelligence minster's Saudi visit
Sharq [reformist]: "Iranian Intelligence Minister [Heyder Moslehi]
visited Saudi Arabia and met the Crown Prince and head of this country's
intelligence agency.... The US regional policies have involved the Arab
countries in such way that we can see how these countries, together with
the US, have become the factors of increasing pressures on our
country... Concerted diplomatic efforts by Iran can alleviate tensions
between Tehran and Riyadh and help in securing Iranian interests."
(Editorial by Ali Bedi headlined "A visit to ease tensions")
Jaam-e Jam [conservative]: "Obviously, the relations between Iran and
Saudi Arabia are not friendly these days...In such situation, a long
discussion has been going on whether the US should be allowed to create
chaos among the regional countries, particularly between Iran and Saudi
Arabia... Iran and Saudi Arabia, despite all their differences and
misunderstandings, are still neighbours and belong to the same region
and the Islamic world... Their discussions, exchange of views,
expectations, complains and recommendations can help them analyze the
situation in a better manner and easily prevent the Americans and the
Zionist from executing their plots in the region" (Commentary by Jalal
Barzgar headlined "Diplomatic initiative")
Khorasan [conservative]: "At the time of the withdrawal of
[Abd-al-Hakim] Bilhaj and his forces from Libya's political chess board,
we have witnessed the arrival of a group of pro-western generals headed
by Khalifah Haftar in Libya... Khalifah was living in a villa in Vienna
[town] in the State of Virginia, which is about five kilometres from the
CIA's Langley office, and cooperated with this organization closely. The
appointment of Haftar as the commander of the Libyan army was opposed by
most of the revolutionaries of this country. He is expected to become a
connecting bridge between Pentagon and Libyan army." (Analytical report
by Alireza Rezakhah headlined "Al-Qa'idah in Syria, CIA in Libya and
clash in Tripoli")
Relevance of public participation in Iran elections
Javan [hard-line]: "The presence of maximum number of people at polling
stations means that we have accepted the existing governing system... In
Iran, maximum participation in [the electoral process] is considered
valuable and as power to keep the foreigners at bay and regulate the
international political relations, however, the political currents have
been usually trying to accuse each other for not making efforts to
ensure maximum participation... Some people in our country, who believe
in religious democracy, are not really interested in maximum
participation. They believe that the religious people should get the
applause for participation in elections in Iran... The other group in
our country, which unusually consists of reformists, has serious
contradictory view towards maximum participation. If they have weak
presence in the election, they accuse the system (not the opposition) of
a one-sided game and less participation, while they believe that they
woul! d be the winner if there is maximum participation by the people
[in the voting]." (Commentary by Abdollah Ganji headlined: "Maximum
participation and comments on it.")

This web page is a bit jumbled, but I was wondering if there was any truth to this person's claims.
Exercise! - Exercise and Diet Myths?View Full Version : Exercise and Diet Myths? Serval87 12-05-2010, 10:12 PM This web page is a bit jumbled, but I was wondering if there was any truth to this person's claims. http://www.biblelife.org/exercise.htm kaplods 12-05-2010, 11:33 PM In my opinion, some, but not much (there are many better and more accurate sources). I went to amazon.com to see if I could find out more about the author and his book. The solitary review is so glowing that I suspect it was written by the author himself or a very close personal friend (especially since the reviewer has no other reviews posted on amazon.com). The book is self-published (ExaltPublishing.com is owned by the author, and apparently the only book published is the one being advertised). There's nothing wrong (necessarily) with self-published material, but it does indicate that there's been no fact checking outside of the author (the editor listed has the same last name as the author, so I suspect it's his wife or another relative - hardly an unbiased editor). His biography on amazon.com, seems overblown and exagerated to me (bragging about how much more he knows than doctors). He also talks about his "research" but as you read it, you realize he's not talking about scientific research with strict measures and controls, he's talking about personal observation. To me, (especially with the books amazon links it to) it sounds like he's advocating a low-carb, primarian/paleo/ancestor diet. There is quite a bit of of research support for such diet and lifestyle changes, but I don't think this is the guy to get the information from. Primal Blueprint comes to mine, not necessarily as the best example, but probably the most recent. Rather than saying "exercise causes health problems" (as this author seems to be saying), Mark Sissel talks about moderate exercise being more beneficial than excessive hard-core exercise... and he does provide research citations (although there are other books that do an even better job of citing the appropriate research). Here's my reading list for paleo diets, I've only read about half of the books, but I believe all of them are published by mainstream publishers (not proof of fact-checking, but better odds of it, as there are many more people standing behind the information, staking their job and reputation on it to a greater degree than a self-published "manifesto"). Cereal Killer Everyday Paleo The Evolution Diet The New Evolution Diet (different author, so it doesn't seem to be a new edition) Going Against the Grain Good Calories, Bad Calories Life Without Bread Neanderthin The Paleo Diet The Paleo Diet for Athletes The Paleo Solution The Paleolithic Prescription The Primal Blueprint Primal Body, Primal Mind Refuse to Regain The Warrior's Diet Serval87 12-05-2010, 11:45 PM Thanks. I'm actually trying a paleo-like diet, but I was more concerned with what that guy was saying about exercise. It sounded a bit weird to me. Nola Celeste 12-06-2010, 04:16 AM It was really hard to find out what the guy was going on about, but...well, it kinda sounds like he's in cloud-cuckoo-land with some of that stuff about exercise. Most of it, to be blunt. There's overwhelming evidence that exercise aids in weight loss and maintenance, so you can toss Myth #1 aside from the get-go. There are a lot of places you can go to double-check this, but the easiest way is just to do a Google search and add the phrase "site: .gov" or "site: .edu" (minus the quotes) at the end of your search tags. This will bring up credible, peer-reviewed sources of information from government and university sites. That includes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Mayo Clinic, National Institutes of Health, and multiple specific studies from universities of your choice. :) Y'know...I was going to go through and "myth-bust" all his myths, but when I got to the link about "marathon runner dies, 9,000 spectators are just fine," under Myth #2, I gave up. This guy doesn't understand science, statistics, anatomy, physiology, or much of anything else. He's an anti-science nutter who probably thinks the world is hollow, 5,000 years old, and filled with UFOs. He may make some good points about diet and exercise here and there in his rants, but look at it this way: even a stopped clock is right twice a day. He's bound to get a few things right just because he rambles so much. :D hatethesweatpants 12-06-2010, 09:19 AM I am automatically suspicious of anyone who calls all modern scientific work "dogma" and "lies." His website is full of hatred and name-calling. Specifically, his section on adoption interested me since I am an adoptive mom. He said that adoption of Chinese or any foreign baby is an evil practice. Hmmmm....tell that to my blind daughter who would have been a street beggar or my 6 year old who would have grown up with no options for marriage or family b/c she didn't have a "family name."

My pal just suprised me with a row of Tsugas that sprouted overnight sans warning. Even though I'd been over [invited] the other night and we chatted for hours as I kept her kids in stiches and was homework master, etc. from her urging. No warning at all. Great.
There will be no hole or anything to get from her yard to mine... okey dokey. Frankly, she's been stealing my plants, used my lawnmower an entire season, strolls through my yard alone while I'm not there, etc. I do believe the undeniable conclusion is that the girl's a bit of a freak. Oh, well. So, the Tsugas are planted a maximum of 6 inches from what her husband thinks is the property line. As in, their wee little trunks are that close. Oh my. I did a cursory measure from a surveyed marker twice, and I've got that the whole shebang is about a foot over the line. They are about a foot apart, too. This just won't be pretty later, I fear. I am having the line surveyed to install fencing on that side later in the year, which she knew. So, we'll see where things should be, as I planned... but the whole tacky manner of this has just floored me. I have no clue what to say to the kids. To make matter worse, my crazy neighbor who poured half her driveway over my other side came out to snoop when Pal-neighbor and I were standing at the surveyed X in her driveway, where I'd just measured. She went off on me [thinks their my trees? Still mad that I noticed that she poured her driveway over 4 ft into my yard? Just a horrid woman whatever the case]. I roared back... Pal-neighbor practically ran away. Crazy neighbor may well be picturing my head in her headlights approaching fast. Ask me, do I care?? So say a little prayer that crazy neighbor will just go back to her usual foul paranoid self and not try to sue me, etc, as she is apt to do when anyone gives her a shout back. Hey, I didn't even cuss and wasn't loud... I say it was refreshing to finally have her complain about me to me instead of trying to gossip about all the other neighbors to me! Oh brother, I swear some days I know animals are nicer to be around than people ;] |

Oh, don't tempt me... Hell hath no fury!!!!! ...You did mean for one, the other or both, didn't you [bwhahaha!] I'm just fed up and gonna take my toys and play by myself ;] Still, Hemlocks have gotta spread at least 4 inches, eh? Hahaha... what can you do? |
- Posted by sylviatexas z8a Tx (My Page) on Wed, Apr 25, 07 at 11:08
She may not realize, or can't visualize, how much they spread, especially if she's not a "garden person". (The very first things I planted here were 2 crepe myrtles. Now, I always measure with string or cord from a stake where the trunk is to be. & those shrubs won't know the difference if they're moved right away. |
If the Hemlocks are on your side of the property, you can do what you like with them. :^) |
- Posted by michelle_co z5 CO (My Page) on Wed, Apr 25, 07 at 13:14
Going with Sylvia's thought... What about asking her to move them more into her property, because each plant can get so wide and it will be sooo much easier for her to maintain her hedge that way? You could even help her lay it out. Wouldn't that be nice of you? ;-) The assertive - helpful - friendly approach might work. Can you put up some stakes and string on the border as part of your work to lay out your fence? A visual aid might help, too. Cheers, |
I was just noticing a rose...Mutabilis has grown to where it is on the neighbor's side...I don't think the present neighbor's mind...but if they move...the next one, might, and it will be that much wider, by then....what to do? And Mere, most days, animals are more fun to be around, than most people,,,some more than others. |
A friend has a line of Tsugas to give them some privacy from where a two lane country road was expanded to five to allow for more subdivisions. In front of the Tsugas she has a Rosarium Untersen covered arch that has the best color in front of the Tsugas of any rose/green background I've seen in this part of the world. |
LOL at roaring back at each other!! Must be neighbor roaring day - lots of that happening across the street. I stayed way out of it... |
Yikes. I'd do something about the driveway though - some states have laws that allow the "taking" of land if the use is uncontested over a certain period of time. |
- Posted by meredith_e 7B Piedmont NC (My Page) on Fri, Apr 27, 07 at 19:02
Thank you, Jody. Yep, we are now experts in adverse possession law, so that's covered. The crazy things people do, and she is precisely the type to try that... and she grew up here and wants what she wants, etc. But y'all, extreme craziness abounds. There is so much more drama since I posted this, I am embarrassed for them and stunned and shaking my head. Suffice it to say, Michelle, the assertive- helpful-friendly approach can not make a raving loony sniff the smelling salts! And Sylvia, I smiled at your post... that's cute and reminds me of me and no problem, etc. This has turned out to be some very strange other animal, indeed... OK... turns out she is not speaking to me, will not even give a nod to poor BeeBee who thinks she's gone deaf or he's turned invisible, and this is insane. Apparently she thinks I'm after her husband or he's after me, or some combination of utter ridiculousness, that I say get me a 100 ft pole to not touch it with! So today I got some money she owed me from her husband at his gas station and explained that she is not speaking to me, I do not do well with that, so they can tell me if I need to return anything I may have forgotten or whatever, and that will be that. I wasn't angry, just clear and 'professional.' So who knew?? Tsugas all around, lol ;] They do make beautiful backdrops, and right about now I'm not minding that at all!!! Signed -- Color me Stunned in NC! PS - I wrote my other neighbor a nice apology note earlier on and we had a talk and that's no biggie, ironically. I'd have thought she was the more difficult of the two. Ya never know anything, sometimes, I guess. |

I hear ya, But I found sanity again when I stopped trying to figure people out!:) Mostly my boss and our customers. I take things alot lighter now. People do weird crap, and you'll only find yourself in a fitting room full of straight-jackets if you try to understand why. My hairline started moving closer to my eyebrows again after I gave up my need to understand everyones actions.:) ...SO..., now you're a homewrecker? LOL What ever will be, will be... Smell the roses, |
Geeze Mere... We paved our driveway 2 years ago. The guy did a lousy job, it squished out and onto the neighbors property. The only way to remove it is to cut it out. We haven't done that yet, although we planned to. Have the paving guy come back and talk to him about doing that. Hemlocks are huge. What was she thinking? I think I would get the fence guy out pronto, think about getting the fence put in now. They will surely grow over the line, if you cut them on your side it totally ruins the look. Are you going to have a surveyer come out? Well, one good thing to come of this, she won't be borrowing the mower lol I'm so sick of neighbors. You try to be nice then get pooped on. Wonder if she'll let you see the kids any more. That's the hardest. I was relieved when my iron borrowing neighbor moved, some of the stunts she pulled were low. I don't get it. She borrowed & broken my iron & 2 cell phones, yet I'm the one that's the (insert word here)... Halloween they brought the kids over, hadn't seen them in months. I was then outside working in the garden, kneeling on their property... Out she comes with the 3 youngest to pick up the oldest from the bus... She puts my little sweetie girl on her right side, then proceeds to drive the carriage on the grass, walking as far from me as possible. She made sure my little sweetie girl didn't see me. I didn't get to say good bye to the kids. The mother was shipping them off to their G'ma's, they were loaded in the car, my husband almost didn't get to say goodbye. It's probably for the best, it hurt me to see the kids go, couldn't imagine how the little ones felt. Funny how people think. She swore to everyone that would listen that I gave her a broken iron, which is hilarious if you know me. I'm so anal about replacing things I think are going. Worked fine to iron my clothes for dad's viewing. I wonder if yours will start telling stories too. Mere the home-wrecker. If she was so worried about her husband doing something behind her back, why did she even start a friendship? |
- Posted by michelle_co z5 CO (My Page) on Sat, Apr 28, 07 at 10:58
That is the pits. I am glad you are at peace with your other neighbor... It is just the worst having terrible neighbors - my terrible neighbor moved on and a good one moved in, and it is SUCH a huge relief. Cheers, |
- Posted by meredith_e 7B Piedmont NC (My Page) on Sun, Apr 29, 07 at 5:53
Yes, I'm Mere The Accidental Homewrecker, BC, lol. It's a Homewrecker Hemlock Hedge, bwahaha! Oh my. Thanks for the thoughts!... I'm just gonna get a C'est La Vie T-shirt to wear in the yard ;] Sue, the effect on the children is certainly the saddest part. I told the hubby that I still plan on saying hello and whatever to the kids, 'cos they're kids!, if she'll let me. The day I first got the complete cold shoulder, the 9 year old was talking to me from their yard about his yellow flower pot for a second, and she yelled at him to come there ASAP, in a voice that I disagree with. Poor kids didn't do a darned thing. I can't believe your neighbor didn't let you say goodbye... the kids enjoy somebody and it freaks them out if suddenly civility doesn't even exist. 'If she's worried about hubby'... yeah, not really going there except I'll say once that it dawned on me that she's seemed irritiated by me losing a great deal of weight over the past year. I still know nothing, but I had already mentally noted to keep the shorts in the closet, etc, to be as polite as possible RE: any insecurities she had about that subject. I'm sure there's more, and oh yes is she talking. I'm telling folks let's not discuss it, though, 'cos I'm fine with civil and just wish them all well. Michelle, the other neighbor is also my cousin and this area was populated by a wonderful older generation that is now gone, so I am glad in the end that we got to vent about how we all miss how things used to be. We miss my Grandmother and her mother and all of their sisters living here, and there's just no denying that those transistions hurt. I'm glad, too, that we had our talk. Thanks :) |
- Posted by meredith_e 7B Piedmont NC (My Page) on Sun, Apr 29, 07 at 22:54
Hey, she very pleasantly asked me if the kids could see me today! They played in my yard while I gardened, and it was great fun :) |
- Posted by rosesinny 7a (email@example.com) on Thu, May 3, 07 at 13:53
Well, you can always invite the neighbor over for some tea and Socratic questioning. . . Alternatively, Roundup works wonders. But if those trees encroach on your property, in most jurisdictions you can cut them back any way you like. If that accidentally kills the trees - better luck next time. As far as the driveway, if it is 4 feet on your property, you really need to get that portion removed or have them purchase the easement. If you let it go, knowing that it is your property, you may end up losing it legally too. There is an old doctrine of "adverse possession" that lets someone claim another's property by "occupying" it if his occupation is open, notorious and visible and in direct defiance of the true owner, who is on notice but takes no action. Generally after a period of time, say 7 years or so, the property can actually be claimed by the adverse possessor and title will transfer. So you need to put in writing that the pavement is on your property or you can lose it forever. And as far as maintaining good relations w the neighbors goes - those relations are not worth maintaining if they are stealing from you. |
- Posted by meredith_e 7B Piedmont NC (My Page) on Thu, May 3, 07 at 15:36
LOL, oh that she were into Socratic questioning... meaning either way, actually, lol. Not the most mentally stimulating of pals, actually ;] Now she's had hubby extend their solid-wood fencing more panels towards their horse pasture, again without waiting to see if the survey shows that that is a bad idea. Ooops if so... and not the same oops as when we were being mutually respectful [ahem, in each other's presence, anyway... yes, STOLEN plants!] And weeding behind their fence is going to be very difficult with the odd, small shape they are bound to leave. My fence will have a discreet electric strand on that side [dogs and many burgulars] and they know it. Adverse possession is covered, truly. Dad has his own company so always has a lawyer on hire, and we have GIVEN permission for her to USE it until we say otherwise, which could be any time. With the new fencing coming in, I think it's a good time to break out the sledgehammer, too! |
sounds like this is going to be fun... |
- Posted by rosesinny 7a (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, May 4, 07 at 19:17
Indeed so. Good that you have a lawyer. This is the kind of stuff we like. Do let us know what happens. |
- Posted by meredith_e 7B Piedmont NC (My Page) on Sat, May 5, 07 at 10:50
I'll keep y'all posted, lol. No real sledgehammers, of course... I have a bad back and cousin-neighbor might seriously have a heart attack! It'll be all legal-polite, but yeah, I expect a few fireworks... impossible to avoid with those two on so many things. Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be DramaQueens ;] |

Oil prices could wreak havoc with construction costs
March 03, 2011
High oil prices can lead to surcharges in deliveries as well as push up the price of raw materials such as concrete, insulation, and waterproofing materials. East Rutherford, N.J.-based Allied Building Products is projecting increases of more than 10% for a host of its products. Meanwhile, products such as Sheetrock brand Gyspsum Wallboard products are seeing 25% increases. And wire products have risen by more than 10%.

Episode Information
Aired Saturday, November 1, at 11:00 p.m. on CPTV
Here's how the country superstar got her start and the events that helped launch her career, from David Freeland's profile in BAKER'S BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY OF POPULAR MUSIC.
"As a child country performer in Kansas, McBride sang regularly with her father's band. After graduating from high school she spent years working her way into the music industry, receiving a break through the influence of country superstar Garth Brooks. First selling T-shirts for Brooks during his concerts, McBride eventually became his opening act. Although McBride's 1992 debut album, THE TIME HAS COME, brought critical acclaim, it was the follow-up, THE WAY THAT I AM (1993), that made her a country star."
Watch Martina McBride perform "Happy Girl," which was featured on her triple platinum 1997 record, EVOLUTION, and reached #2 on BILLBOARD's Country Singles chart. Find all the numbers from her first concert special on the series in the song list, and vote for your favorite McBride song in the poll.

text: The cover article in USAtoday (front page of the entire paper, NOT the sports section) is on "hybrid" players being the rage in the NFL: Wanted in the NFL draft: The hybrid player who can do it all - USATODAY.com Some nice quotes: "The NFL coaches that win are the ones who have the ability to adapt, whether it's to the West Coast or the spread offense," [Urban] Meyer says. "When you see the success of the Steelers, Patriots, (Indianapolis) Colts and Dolphins, what they do is work their scheme around their personnel." "When you're the Steelers and Patriots, you may be more apt to consider a player like Pat White earlier," [Tom] Dimitroff says."Why not be aggressive for a versatile, multi-faceted player and fit him in different places?" he asks. "It's tough to replace a starter on big-time teams." Adds Todd Haley: "It's our job to do what the kids coming into our league do best and gives us the best chance to succeed. We're trying to be ahead of the curve." Extensive coverage is particularly devoted to Pat White, Connor Barwin and Percy Harvin. On White, the article notes: White, 23, is considered a more explosive passing and running threat than current multi-threat talents such as Washington Redskins wideout/returner Antwaan Randle El, Cleveland Browns returner Joshua Cribbs and New York Jets wideout Brad Smith, former college quarterbacks who took snaps with their current teams last season. "You have so many different functions teams are game-planning for," Dimitroff added. "Then, the next game, Pat White comes out and plays a completely different role. He keeps people on their heels, which is ultimately what (NFL teams) want." Re Barwin, the article notes: The increasing desire for athletic outside linebackers who can rush the passer or drop back to defend passes has boosted the stock of players who are comfortable in both roles, including defensive end/outside linebackers Brian Orakpo of Texas, Aaron Maybin of Penn State, Robert Ayers of Tennessee and Barwin, 22, who led the Big East with 11 sacks in 2008. "Bottom line, I think I'll be a first rounder" in the draft, the 6-4, 256-pound Barwin says. "I'm going to be excited to see which position is going to be my primary one. When I visited New England, they said they haven't seen too many guys coming out so good at two positions, one on offense, one on defense." Who better to cover a tight end than a former one who earned all-Big East honors as tight end and defensive end? "When I went to New England for a visit, coach (Bill) Belichick said, 'You remind us of Mike Vrabel,' " Barwin says, referring to the veteran linebacker who played for New England from 2001 to 2008 did occasional double-duty as a tight end, catching 10 touchdowns. Barwin blazed a 4.47-second 40-yard dash at his pro day when he worked out at four positions, including tight end, for the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Giants. There's also a lot of discussion regarding Percy Harvin: Harvin is widely considered the greatest risk among the top hybrid players — and the greatest potential reward. He tested positive for marijuana at the NFL's scouting combine, according to two league executives who saw Harvin's name on the report released to NFL teams but are not authorized to discuss the subject and spoke on the condition of anonymity. "He's a top-10 talent, but if he tested positive at the combine, I would never take him in the first round," [Mike] Mayock says. Harvin, who has 4.39-second speed in the 40-yard dash, scored 17 touchdowns on 70 runs and 40 receptions last season in Urban Meyer's spread-option offense that led the Gators to two of the last three BCS national titles. "I just hope Percy goes some place where they use him the right way," Meyer says. "He's the most dynamic player in college football," Meyer adds. "For him to just go play (only) receiver, that's an injustice … he averaged 15 yards on counter runs."

It's one thing to work your way through college, but to work your way through high school? That's the goal of the JOBS (Job Opportunities Build Success) program at Washington County High School.
An awards luncheon was held May 21 at the Springfield Opera House to honor the students in the program and to recognize the local businesses who provide employment for them.
It was a day to remember those who have given all to protect and defend our country. It was also a day for food, friendship and fun as Willisburg held its annual Memorial Homecoming Festival on Saturday.
If you travel north on KY-438 a couple miles past Lincoln Homestead State Park, you may notice something you don't see every day in Washington County. As some drivers pass Nodda Farm, owned by Charlie and Sharon Raymond of Springfield, they can't resist the urge to stop, backup and take a look at a unique sight. Nodda Farm is home to Double Stuff and Miss Moon Pie, a pair of BueLingo Cattle. In fact, the cattle look like Oreo cookies – all black with a prominent white band around their center.
Anybody who suffers from claustrophobia wouldn't want to be a member of the Springfield or Washington County fire departments right now. That's because a lack of space at the armory in Springfield is making life too close for comfort, as they must park some vehicles outside while squeezing other trucks into the bays with little room left over to breathe. That's why the Washington County Fire Protection Association presented plans to build a new fire station to Washington County Fiscal Court and Springfield City Council last week.
When General Motors sent letters to more than 1,100 of its 6,000 dealers last week telling them that they will no longer do business with those dealers in 2010, Hammer Chevrolet in Springfield was among the letter recipients.
Still, according to Mark Clark, general manager of Hammer Chevrolet, that does not mean the end of the local dealership, which is in the approval process of a sale to Eddie Franklin, a Columbia, Ky., based car dealer who already owns Ford, Chevrolet, and Nissan dealerships.
It's hard to believe it's almost the end of May and there's still debris to be picked up from the January ice storm. But that goes to show just how severe the damage was. The Washington County Fiscal Court met last Monday and discussed ways to finish the clean-up.
State-hired contractors ceased work on May 21 after cutting several roads in the county.
It's a project that has been in the works for several years now, and finally, the new Washington County Judicial Center is open for business.
The center was officially opened a few weeks ago, but a celebration of the new facility was held Friday with state and local dignitaries, including Chief Justice of Kentucky's Supreme Court, John D. Minton Jr.
It's easy to see the inspiration for the travels of Ronald and Rita Springfield of Vonore, Tenn. They have decided to travel the country to visit each town named Springfield.
"In good conscience, I cannot renew the permit for the pool this year," said Kate Peake, an environmentalist with the Washington County Environmental Office. Peake addressed the Springfield City Council on her findings following an inspection of the facility on May 5. For the first time in its 56-year history, the pool will be closed this summer.
"It's out-lived its time," Peake told the council. "The permit expired on April 3, and we're not going to renew it."
Scouts are supposed to do a good deed daily, but a local group of Cub Scouts, with some help from their parents, pulled off a deed recently that should cover them for several days to come.
The members of Cub Scout Pack 458 of Willisburg presented a handicapped-accessible van to a family in need Saturday, and the scouts, as well as the family receiving the gift, couldn't have been happier.

Red Vest Review
The nitrous oxide sedation program at Children's of Minnesota was developed using a model of physician-nurse collaboration supported by nurse directors, anesthesia, critical care, radiology, and nurse pioneers to improve care for pediatric patients. Since its inception, the program has experienced widespread appeal among patients, families, and practitioners.
The program's success includes a
high level of patient, family, and staff satisfaction
, as well as
increased efficiency in targeted patient care areas
. The success of the program has generated interest among our colleagues in the community and across the nation. In the spirit of improving the health care experience for all children, we are proud to share the following tools and resources that may be helpful in considering the development of a nitrous oxide sedation program.

My Dahlias are blooming now - will they continue to bloom all summer and into the fall? Do I need to deadhead? I thought they bloomed later in the season, but here they are! Thanks. |

Hi Tulips or Bust....Wow that is early. The only one that I have that overwintered is no where near blooming. I think I actually got some from you at the Spring trade. They are up about 6 inches or so but then I planted them sort of late I guess. My experience in the past with dahlias is that they bloom most all Summer and yes I would definitely deadhead them. This should keep them reblooming. |

My dahlia is absolutely covered in blooms. I've had this one 3 years, and I'm pretty sure it didn't start blooming until July last year. And once it starts blooming, it does bloom up to frost, with regular dead-heading. |
I've got one that overwintered with no protection. It's blooming now and will continue until frost. Just cut off the dead blooms and enjoy! |
Mine are about 2 days away from flowering and they will last until the fall. Mine usually slow down a little in the heat of August but then pick back up in the cooler weather. |

Around the league- Jan 21, 2010

January 21 2010 03:29PM
Much of the talk this past week in the hockey world revolved around another ridiculously stupid play in junior hockey. Patrice Cormier elbowed Mikael Tam with a disgustingly cheap elbow in overtime that left Tam convulsing on the ice. It wasn't pretty, and Cormier will learn his fate this Monday.
Stuck in the middle

January 19 2010 05:33PM
So the Calgary Flames are a not-that-nifty 50 games into the 2009-2010 National Hockey League season.
While Monday's debacle at the Shark Tank creates the impression the Flames are heading towards rock-bottom, a fairer bigger-picture view of the whole affair suggests that once they pull out of their current death spiral, they will once again be a club that barely makes or barely misses the post-season.

ZOTAC Supercharges ZBOX with Intel Core i5 Desktop Processor
New 3rd Generation ZBOX platforms receive processing power from Intel Ivy Bridge Core i5 and I3 processors
May 12, 2013 8:44 by anila
Dubai, UAE – May 9, 2013 – ZOTAC International, a global innovator and leading manufacturer of graphics cards, mainboards and mini-PCs, today supercharges the ZBOX mini-PC with desktop Intel Core i5 and i3 processors for outstanding performance that can match and outpace larger full-size desktop PCs. The new 3rd Generation ZOTAC ZBOX with Intel Core Processors ushers in a new era of performance to the mini-PC form factor.
"Users demanded the same performance as larger desktop PCs from our ZBOX but the small size made it virtually impossible to deliver the same performance as desktop PCs. After many months of engineering and fine tuning, we came up with a solution that enables us to install desktop LGA1155 socket Intel Core i5 and i3 processors without sacrificing size, noise or power consumption that will make our end users very happy," says Carsten Berger, senior director, ZOTAC International.
Users have two choices of processor with the 3rd Generation ZOTAC ZBOX with Intel Core Processors. Casual users seeking great performance for everyday computing can opt for the dual-core Intel Core i3 3220T-equipped ZBOX ID88 series while more demanding users can step up to the Intel Core i5 3470T-equipped ZBOX ID89 series.
The Intel Core i5 3470T processor adds Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology to intelligently increase clock speeds of individual processor cores up to 3.6 GHz depending on computing demands of the operating system and applications. Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) enhances virtualization capabilities on the Intel Core i5 3470T for superior performance for virtualization uses.
Intel HD Graphics 2500 graphics processing transforms the 3rd Generation ZOTAC ZBOX with Intel Core Processors into powerhouse HTPCs with Intel Quick Sync Video technology for lightning fast video conversions, Intel InTru 3D technology for stunning and smooth Blu-ray 3D playback with advanced audio technologies, and Intel Clear Video HD technology for hardware-accelerated high-definition video playback.
It's time to play with the 3rd Generation ZOTAC ZBOX with Intel Core Processors.

HUDSON, N.Y. — A pair of gay best friends were voted prom king and queen by such a wide margin at an upstate New York high school that the school didn't bother choosing runners-up.
Seniors Charlie Ferrusi and Timmy Howard won their respective crown and tiara by a landslide Saturday. They started thinking about running about a month ago and ran the idea past advisers and the principal, who gave their blessing.
The boys say one of the hardest parts of the experience was deciding who would be king and who would be queen.
In recent years, Hudson has developed a sizable gay community, including some residents who have opened antique shops and galleries and have restored many of the city's historic homes. The city of about 7,000 sits on the shore of the Hudson River 30 miles south of Albany.

"Wyoming's Call of the Wild" will be hosting open casting calls for youths ages 14 to 17 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at Sportsman's Warehouse, 2464 Highways 6 and 50, in Grand Junction.
Craig resident and former Moffat County High School teacher Craig Conrad will be hosting the Wyoming-based nature television show, formerly known as "Call of the Wild: Generation Next in Wyoming," when it starts filming in the fall.
The show, produced by Orion Multimedia, hopes to provide today's younger generation the joys of being in the wild, executive producer Chris Dorsey said.
Youths have to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
While the show will have casting calls in Tennessee, California and Utah, Conrad said the Grand Junction site would be the most accessible for youths on the Western Slope.
The casting call will consist of the parent or guardian filling out a brief questionnaire followed by a 10-minute filmed interview with the youth.

A lovely story, but then yours always are. I like that you take a rather odd OC and manage to give such interesting information with it. Thanks
Beautiful and haunting. The descriptions are lovely and the POV works really well. My only slight annoyance is that the paragraphs feel pretty block-y and huge.

So if you go for the SSD drives, don't go for a cheap one and backup
properly.Do you install you Linux basesystem and home partition on a SSD drive?
Or should I only use a SSD for (hot) audio projects?About the backups. Is a backup via network to a server good enough? It's
nice to have a fast and silent drive, but this effect fades away when
you need a other backup hdd next to it.I was also thinking to use a SSD in my laptop, which I also use as
soundmodule e.g. playing piano with it for instance, and backup via
network. Good idea?Best regards,

Turns out the name was chosen by the couple in honor of the lake where they frequently vacationed and even got engaged at: New Hampshire's Lake Winnipesaukee, but, said Fallon, 'Winnipesaukee's a little long, Also, she's a 'win' for us. He added that the Wonder Years connotation makes the name even better –"Winnie is the coolest girl on TV ever."
This week's Nameberry 9 by Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel shows us the wide range of girl baby names available to today's parents.
Did you read Swistle's post about a woman named Justin?
Some of us probably felt vindicated. Of course you shouldn't give a boy's name to a girl!
Others probably thought: If only they'd chosen Justine instead.
Miss Justin might be an extreme case, but this week's name news reminds us that the range of possibilities for girls is vast. From conventionally masculine names to modern inventions to antique revivals, we are willing to be daring when naming daughters.
That's not just a name nerd perspective, either. In 2011, almost 79% of newborn boys in the US received a Top 1000 name. For girls? Just under 67% received a Top 1000 choice.
Today, Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel looks back over the 459 names she's chosen in her weekly Nameberry 9's this year and picks out her top favorites.
Nine names per week over 51 weeks equals 459 names. They're classic, they're quirky, and sometimes they're downright strange. But when I sat down to review a year's worth of Nameberry posts, I realized that most of them are actually pretty wearable.
Very few of them repeat – something that surprised me, as it so often seems that a name is suddenly everywhere all at once. Some garnered lots of positive comments while others went completely unnoticed.
My favorite comment? "No, don't mention THAT name. It's the top of our list!" As I scrolled through the posts, there were more than a few groans of disappointment.
The best names, though, aren't necessarily the ones that will be racing up the popularity charts. I'm most attracted to the ones that seem novel – unlikely to catch on, but probably part of a bigger change in how we think about names.
This week, Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel 's picks of The Nameberry 9 newsiest options focuses on the trend for short and sweet baby names.
Are miniature names growing on you? There have been Nameberry posts and discussion threads, and a steady uptick in birth announcements for children with very short names.
They're not my style, but the more I hear them, the more I find them pleasing. I know a toddler called Royce and another named Nell. Then there are famous kids with bite-sized names, or nicknames – like Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey's twins, referred to as Roc and Roe. Reducing an elaborate appellation like Araminta to something spare – Min, maybe? – feels rather elegant.
Mini names have their advantages. It is easier to fit Mia in a tweet than Isabella. Which reminds me – Twitter was founded by four men – Jack, Noah, Evan, and Biz. Biz is short for Christopher.
Are bare minimum names the next big thing? Hard to say, but they did seem to dominate baby name news this week.
Fia – Fiery Fiammetta is a lovely Italian option. Short form Fia shares something with two Top Ten favorites – Sophia and Mia. Sebastiane noted that Fia is a hit in the Faroe Islands. The islands are located halfway between Scotland and Iceland, making their given names an intriguing mix of Gaelic and Norse influences.
