Film Review: The Unholy (1988)
SYNOPSIS: Two priests have been brutally murdered at St. Agnes church. Now the unholy reigns, only to be challenged by the purest of mortal souls. Father Michael, believed to be spiritually blessed, is appointed to the ungodly Parish. His ultimate test is a confrontation with the demon in a battle to the death. REVIEW: "The Unholy" (1988) might quite possibly be one of my most sought after 1980's horror films. While the movie has long … Continue reading

Tony Koens-Owner/ Head Coach
Daniel Hartmann – Manager Roseville location/ CrossFit and Olympic Lifting coach
I guess you could say my Crossfit story is pretty typical. I played sports in high school and college. I was athletic in the sense that I played sports, but soon after getting my first "real job" I quickly found myself overweight and heading towards obesity due to my newly sedentary life. I tried all the typical avenues for weight loss. (Running, dieting etc.) In fact, I ran so much that I quickly developed a running injury that kept me from being able to run. Depressed and frustrated I decided to go in another direction and start rock climbing at the local climbing wall. There was pretty much a direct path from climbing to Crossfit at the time due to several famous climbers being involved in CF also.
At this point in time there were only Crossfit affiliates in California so my wife and I did workouts on our own in a globo-style gym. I'm talking about "Fight gone bad" with water and potty breaks and DNF'd "Fran" because we can't do 45 strict pull-ups.
It was clear to us if we were going to get serious about CF one of us would need to get certified as an L-1. So in April 2008 I took my level 1 certification in San Diego. And the rest is history.
I credit Crossfit for my turn around. When I started CF I was "athletic" but I had never really lifted weights in my life. I had no idea I was strong or even really what strong meant. I had no clue about fitness other than the sprints we ran for lacrosse. I had no understanding of a proper, well balanced diet. Through Crossfit I figured all these things out. Crossfit empowered me to go from weak and overweight to strong and healthy. CF gave me tools to take control of my health and fitness. While doing CF I went from 285 lbs to 205 lb. I went from having no 1RM for any lift to having a 500lb backsquat. As a coach I live to show others the empowering feelings that come from feeling strong and fit.

Rachel Tanev- Coach/Personal Trainer
I was born and raised in Seattle where I grew up with two older brothers and two younger sisters, always vying to play sports with my brothers. I played basketball, soccer, football and baseball growing up, although basketball was my favorite and I played throughout high school. My dad was an acrobat for The Greatest Show on Earth; that's right the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus! He taught us gymnastics growing up and my siblings and I quickly learned how to walk on our hands, do pistols, and somersaults. I did gymnastics at school until the 3rd grade when we moved to a suburb outside of Seattle that did not offer a gymnastics program. I took to playing basketball more, but would still do handstands and flips in our living room. After graduating high school, I went to college but was unsure of what I wanted to be when I grew up. I decided to take some time off which ended up being ten years, after which I finally realized I wanted to be a personal trainer. After becoming certified, I started working for Fitness Together, a small personal training studio, where I discovered my love of helping people reach their fitness goals. I had heard about Crossfit, but dismissed it as crazy as many people do when they first hear about it. I finally decided to overcome my fear and try it out and was completely hooked. I practiced on my own for almost five months before joining Crossfit West Seattle. I loved the community and environment Crossfit had to offer, and it helped to broaden my skills as a personal trainer. I knew I wanted to do the Crossfit Level 1 course, but I decided to put it on hold so I could finally go back to school to finish up my associates degree. My girlfriend, Crystal was placed for an internship in Shakopee and we made the move to Saint Paul in July of 2011. I continued doing Crossfit on my own again for six months before joining Timberwolf Crossfit. My dislike for working at the big box gyms finally gave me the push I needed to get my Crossfit Level 1. I love being a part of Timberwolf, and I'm excited to finally be a Crossfit Coach!
Certifications: CrossFit Level 1 instructor, NFPT certified personal trainer and CPR/AED certified.

Kyle Spears – Coach
I grew up in Eagan MN. I have always been a very active individual, and I love competing. I played several sport in rec leagues throughout high school, and Ran Cross Country for my school my senior year. I wasn't the fastest but I always thought "I may not be the fastest but I bet I could do more pull ups than these kids, or I could lift more weight." I joined the Marine Corps after High School, and found CrossFit while I was in. I instantly fell in love and knew right away that I wanted to pursue this as a career. I got out of the Marine Corps, and I am going to school at St Thomas University. I decided that learning as much about the body as I could would help my coaching. I decided to go to school for Exercise Science. I am hoping to learn everything I can coaching with Tony and the rest of the Timberwolf crew, and hopefully I will be able to become a better Athlete in the process.

Noah Namowicz- Coach/Coffee expert
First off I am Canadian… so naturally awesome. I grew up in Prince Edward Island, a small place on the east coast of Canada. While in veterinary school, the first CrossFit box opened up just up the street from my parent's house. I had always been into sports and staying active when I was younger, playing soccer and boxing competitively, and always thought I was "in shape" until I went to my first CrossFit class….. It was 8 rounds of Cindy and I remember someone having to push me up on the pull up bar to get a pull-up, my push ups were from the knees and my squats were slow. I couldn't move my arms from the bent position the next day, but I was hooked. I slowly started to develop more strength and already had a decent metabolic capacity from my other sports. In 2009 I went to New Brunswick and placed 3rd in the regionals qualifiers, which was enough for me to go to California. Due to the love and support from my family (both blood and CrossFit families) I was able to go without stress and compete. Since then I have moved around with work/school and have had the pleasure of working out at a couple CrossFit boxes. I really enjoy watching people from the beginning and seeing how quickly they grow when they put in the work. I am currently in a radiology residency at the UofM and when I am not studying or at work I am at the gym, either working out or hanging out with my second family.

PCI DSS and HIPAA: The Security Standards Share Common Ground
Free registration required
Executive Summary
One of the greatest challenges that the electronic transactions industry faces today is the issue of security requirements under various rules and regulations. For most people in the industry, the issue is focused on the specifics of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), but the issue may be much broader than that. Many other security sets are currently operative and they interface with the merchant population that the industry serves. Federal legislation with security requirements include HIPAA (the Hospital Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) of 1996 Title II, the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, ground in the merchant services field.

"Fairly good windup, but..."
Larry Niven's Ringworld saga/extended thought experiment comes to a conclusion.
In the foreword, the author reveals that he never really intended for Ringworld to be more than a one-off story and interesting thought experiment. However, it captured the imagination, and so he returned for 3 more novels, adding the concept of Pak Protectors, another thought-experiment-turned-saga from his Known Space universe for novels 2 through 4.
We're at the final chapter, and there is now a burgeoning "fringe" war among the species of Known Space (mostly Humans and Kzinti) while the protector Tunesmith, Louis and their companions try to keep the Ringworld safe from invaders. The story is a pretty good windup to the saga...although it is now getting somewhat long in the tooth, and it is good that this is the last one.
However, I find the narrator pretty irritating. He makes Tunesmith sound like an overly cheery salesman (rather than a ghoul-turned-wizard) and Acolyte sound like a mentally subnormal child rather than an (adolescent) 7-foot tall feline predator. Especially a come-down after listening to the excellent narration of the previous book in the cycle, The Ringworld Throne.

Quoted from Looking4Answers I hate to admit this, but I got myself so worked up last night over my Gatherer vs Hunter status that I could not fall asleep for hours after going to bed! My thoughts and anxieties spiraled from there and I began to question everything in my life. Good grief! All because I thought for certain I was one type, but measured for a different one!
Quoted from Looking4Answers I have a tendency to analyze, then overanalyze, and analyze some more...and then I go blithely on to the next thing. But, yeah, I think I will just go with the Hunter diet and stop beating this dead horse! Thanks for all of your input and patience.
Quoted from Looking4Answers Thanks, TJ, for your reply. I do plan to check out Swami and, for the time being anyway, will continue to follow the Hunter diet. Has the Nomad diet worked out for you?
Quoted from Looking4Answers Any other Hunters having trouble letting go of dairy?

I rescued a huge old rose that had been bulldozed. Main canes bigger around than my ankle at ground level.
Right now it's forming round red buds, but I'm so excited it's coming back and too impatient to wait for the blooms. Maybe somebody here can give me a clue as to type, and I can try to match it up on a rose site when the buds open (?). The new growth has dark reddish canes and bright red, numerous thorns. Link has pictures of leaves. Many thanks! |
Here is a link that might be useful: 2 old rose leaf thumbnails - click to enlarge
Follow-Up Postings:
Nope, going to need a lot more info. Picture of the blooms in bud, 1/2 open, and fully open, fragrance, pictures of the canes, general sense of whether the canes are stiff or flexible, height of the plant, spacing of the thorns. There are a lot of roses out there. |
Many thanks. Going out to take more pics; bud should be open in a couple days. |

text: Another one from the traveling teabox that TeaEqualsBliss included. thanks so much! I've tried so many different teas the last couple months! It's amazing how many are out there. This is the first Upton tea I've had. I wanted to place an order with them, but other sales and things have gotten in the way. This one surprised me! I thought I wouldn't like it when I saw hibiscus. I steeped this for seven minutes at boiling. The color was a very deep red. The smell reminded me of strawberries, and it kind of tastes that way too. (I wonder if that is the "flavoring" in the ingredients?) No hints of hibiscus, but there WAS roses. I love the idea of a strawberry rose rooibos. This blend would have been awesome just leaving it as that, but I love this as is, with everything included. It is very sweet and addicting. It reminded me a bit of Lupicia's Strawberry Vanilla. It bodes very well for any future Upton teas I try! I'll take some of this out of the tea box and leave some in… there is a lot here!

Over 3,000 creatives filtered into the Hynes Convention Center to attend sessions, workshops and listen to over eighty speakers at the HOW Design Live Conference 2014.
The exhibition hall was filled with beautifully designed booths (go figure!), the smell of freshly printed ink, and the exciting din of designers from around the world all in one room.
Speakers and attendees alike were the friendliest, smartest, and most interesting people you could meet. The variety of backgrounds allowed for a constant flow and cross-pollination of ideas in design.

Wonderful experience both visits we had with him. Very nice and takes him time with patients.
Siegel epitomizes the ministerial, functionary physician of today. no care whatsoever for the patient. does not communicate. does not return calls. practices extreme defensive medicine even if it is at the expense of the patient. does not follow up. interposes his bureaucratic office staff between himself and the patient. do not waste your time.
I love Dr. Siegel!!! he is very nice and caring. He answer all questions and take the time. With Dr. Siege, all you have to do is ask. I have referred him to 2 friends, and they love him too.
All my questioned were answered and He made sure I undrstood everything because he knew I was nervous. His bedside manner put me at ease.
Dr. Siegel refuses to communicate with his patients. God forbid you need him later in the afternoon or anytime around a holiday or the weekend. He is heavily guarded by a rude and dismissive staff. If he does not want to talk to you, they will prevent you from reaching him and will hang up the phone on you. Absolutely terrible. I have had better follow-up and caring from a veterinarian for my dog than I do from Dr. Siegel. Definitely should avoid.
I had a great visit. The doctor took the time to explain everything to me. He was not rushed. I was not seen by "fake dermatologists" or PAs as was the case at the last practice that I went to.
When my baby woke up with a terrible rash one morning I called Dr Siegels office. The girl on the phone was so nice on the phone and fit me in that morning! Dr siegel explained what my son had and how he got it and he was cleared up in no time. I am so thankful to Dr Siegel and everyone who helped me that day.
Takes his time and explains everything so i understood everything, not in doctor talk, but in plain english so i understood. He made the diagnosis of a skin cancer when I came in for a rash. He saved my life!
The quality of a top New York Doc in the suburbs of New Jersey!
Simply the best. Dr. Siegel diagnosed my problem after 3 other dermatologist could not!
Down to earth, and explains everything so we understood the problem
Dr. Siegel was caring, courteous and knew exactly what my diagnosis was. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs to see a Dermatologist!!

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.

It was a weasel speech revealing the President's inability to review US
policy in the region and to make the necessary changes that should follow
from his clever positioning with regard to Europe and Libya. At best, it is
a holding speech, but it can't hold the line for more than a few weeks before
some greater maturity will be required.

Federal Real Property:
Progress Made on Planning and Data, but Unneeded Owned and Leased Facilities Remain
GAO-11-520T: Published: Apr 6, 2011. Publicly Released: Apr 6, 2011.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
The federal government holds more than 45,000 underutilized properties that cost nearly $1.7 billion annually to operate, yet significant obstacles impede efforts to close, consolidate, or find other uses for them. In January 2003, GAO designated federal real property management as a high-risk area, in part because of the number and cost of these properties. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is responsible for reviewing federal agencies' progress in real property management. In 2007, GAO recommended that OMB assist agencies by developing an action plan to address key obstacles associated with decisions related to unneeded real property, including stakeholder influence. The President's fiscal year 2012 budget proposed establishing a legislative framework for disposing of and consolidating civilian real property, referred to as a Civilian Property Realignment Act (CPRA), which may be designed to address stakeholder influences in real property decision making. This testimony identifies (1) obstacles to effectively managing federal real property, (2) actions designed to overcome those obstacles, including government actions and CPRA, and (3) key elements of the Department of Defense's (DOD) base realignment and closure (BRAC) process that are designed to help DOD close or realign installations and may be relevant for CPRA. To do this work, GAO reviewed GAO reports, other reports, and CPRA.
In designating federal real property management as a high-risk issue in 2003, GAO found that the federal government faced a number of obstacles to effectively managing its real property. These included its lack of strategic focus on real property issues, a lack of reliable real property data, legal limitations, and stakeholder influence. That year, GAO reported that despite the magnitude and complexity of real-property-related problems, there was no governmentwide strategic focus on real property issues and that governmentwide data were unreliable and outdated. GAO also reported then that before disposing of excess property, the General Services Administration is legally required to follow a lengthy screening process, which includes offering the property to other federal agencies and other entities for public uses. Furthermore, stakeholders--including local governments, private real estate interests, and advocacy groups--may have different interests that do not always align with the most efficient use of government resources. Since 2003, the federal government has taken steps to address some of these obstacles and improve its real property management. For instance, the administration and real-property-holding agencies have improved their strategic management of real property by establishing an interagency Federal Real Property Council designed to enhance real property planning processes. The government has also implemented controls to improve the reliability of federal real property data. However, many problems related to unneeded property and leasing have persisted because legal limitations and stakeholder influences remain. GAO's 2007 recommendation that OMB develop an action plan is designed to address these problems. In addition, CPRA proposes an independent board to identify facilities for disposal and consolidation, which could streamline legal requirements and mitigate stakeholder influences. Congress authorized DOD to undergo five BRAC rounds to reduce excess property and realign DOD's workload to achieve efficiencies and savings in property management. The BRAC process, much like CPRA, was designed to address obstacles to closures or realignments, thus permitting DOD to close installations or realign its missions to better use its facilities and generate savings. GAO's prior work on the BRAC process identified certain key elements that may be applicable to managing civilian real property, such as establishing goals and an organizational structure, developing criteria and an analytical framework, using a model to estimate costs and savings, and involving the audit community to better ensure data accuracy. A key similarity between BRAC and CPRA is that both establish an independent board that reviews agency recommendations; a key difference is that the BRAC process created criteria for selecting installations for realignment while CPRA does not include specific criteria to be used to select properties for disposal or consolidation.

Is there room for another sporty green Honda aside from the forthcoming CR-Z? According to the company's chief executive, there may be.
Honda CEO Takanobu Ito told Automotive News that the company would like to offer another sports car that's larger than the new CR-Z hybrid. According to Ito, the car would be "environmentally friendly and have great performance."
"I would like to see Honda have a sports car that symbolizes our technology," Ito said. Don't, however, expect Honda to create a hybrid successor to the vaulted NSX, even if Ito had previously designed the NSX' chassis. Ito doesn't want the car to mimic the new Lexus LFA - or, for that matter, the V-10-powered NSX successor that Honda shelved late last year. "The era of V-10 engines is gone," says Ito.
We wouldn't be surprised if the car helped fill the gap left by the S2000 roadster. Ito didn't comment, but did indicate development of the car will only occur when Honda has enough capital to invest in such a vehicle.

Los Angeles County Fire Department officials are planning tests to prepare for fire season — assuming the conditions are right, officials said Tuesday.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
"We haven't put any live fire on the ground due to fuel conditions," said Inspector Tony Akins of the Los Angeles County Fire Department. "We have to have a burn prescription."
The Fire Department regularly conducts "controlled" or "prescribed" burns to prepare for fire season at Peter Pitchess Honor Rancho and the Del Valle Fire Training Center in Castaic, but only under certain conditions.
"When we're going to do a controlled burn, there's a prescription," Akins said, "it specifies what the wind conditions can be, what the moisture levels can be — it takes into account the various factors that control fire behavior."
These factors are looked at beforehand by fire behavior specialists who are trained and certified in their field of work.
Fire officials cut brush paths ahead of time, and then run tests on a small plot in the area where a controlled burn is planned before the drills are conducted.
"We start in small strips, depending on the topography, then we can do "full strips (of land)" or larger pieces until we get the size of the burn we want to conduct," he said.
The public will be notified ahead of any test burns, Akins said.
"The controlled burns are designed to do a number of things," he added. "It emphasizes the safety topics that are going on at the time, it's a refresher for the crews, and it's an indoctrination for new captains and crews."
As part of the training exercise, firefighters will be visiting some neighborhoods in Val Verde, where they'll be determining where fire resources would best be positioned to protect homes should fire impact the area.
This part of the exercise will only involve an assessment and no live fire.
One of the bigger concerns fire officials here during the controlled burns is the smoke and air quality, Akins said, which has a bit of a counterintuitive solution.
When the smoke becomes a concern, firefighters can add fuel to the fire.
"If you light a larger fire it obviously generates more heat, and the greater amount of heat gets the smoke higher into the transport winds," he said, "but that still has to fall into the prescription."

Reports of explosions at 2013 Boston Marathon

Re: Reports of explosions at 2013 Boston Marathon
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been officially charged with using a WMD. I'm not questioning whether Dzhokhar here perpetrated the bombings, but a pressure cooker bomb is a WMD?
In the link above there is the official criminal complaint, in the second page in point 3, it clearly says that Dzhokhar used a WMD against persons and property.
Now I've done some checking and a WMD is a weapon which belong to the CBRNE class (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives (high yield)). But does a home-made pressure cooker bomb count as a high yield explosive? We're not talking about weapons which produce dozens or hundreds of casualties, but thousands or tens of thousands of casualties or higher.
This is blatant fear-mongering and sensationalism to plant the idea that a WMD was used in the Boston terror attacks. Those were terrible attacks but since when have IEDS been considered WMDs?
There's something very rotten going on here...

Excellent gel for additional energy You dont need any water after taking the gel 5 star of my
Best tasting energy gel I've bought and used! Definitely recommend.
I've used this on all my cycles for the past 6 months or so, bearing in mind that I'm 48 yr old and need as much help as I can. I usually cycle between 25 and 40 miles (only once or twice a week) with the odd long one thrown in (up to 80) and can honestly say that this product has helped me lower my times by 10%. It gives an almost instant boost of energy when needed and I would recommend this to anyone who does endurance sportsGoes Well With:on its own
- Good taste - handy - The effect of rising energy is quite fast
Probably more so than others I seem to suffer from carve muscle cramps when playing football (60 minutes on). I have searched the internet and read various articles regarding prevention of cramp and how magnesium, potassium, calcium,zinc intake along with hydration can help reduce/prevent muscle cramp, yet still I wanted more and came across this product. Having reading the fantastic reviews my expectation was naturally high, 'great for football, last so much longer in the game, no more cramps'. I can now safely say this was the worst supplement I have taken, if you are looking to buy this to help with your football and have similar reasons to mine (so you can last longer in a game and not cramp up) do not purchase. I persevered with the product for three games using the recommended measure and on all three games I cramped earlier than usual and significantly worse. In terms of energy I did not feel any different either. Would not recommend this product if you are looking for similar results as me.
The product itself is absolutely fine and seems effective to me when running hard efforts. The effort feels equally as difficult as without the caffeine gel, but my times are slightly better when using the gel. I have no idea if it's just placebo effect though. In my case two of the gels had opened in the cardboard container and completely covered the rest of the items with gel. I had to wash each of the remaining 22 gels individually. I reported this to MyProtein and they quickly dispatched a replacement. This stuff tastes good considering what it is. I would describe it as like artificially sweetened fruit juice. If you look around you'll see that this pack offers good value for money.
I thought i'd try the ENER:GEL + Caffeine after using other brand which were far more expensive. Overall this give me the exact same effects if not better. The taste was really good too, a bit like Ribena.
ENER:GEL + Caffeine helped me attain another personal best! It's not at all gloopy.

White iPhone 4 arrives. What took so long?
(Read article summary)White iPhone 4 hold-outs, your patience has been rewarded.
Well, hey. Look at that. A white iPhone 4! A real, live –– and not purely hypothetical, imaginary, or otherwise out of reach –– white iPhone 4. Beginning tomorrow, Apple outlets around the country will begin selling white iPhone handsets, Apple reps announced today; Verizon and AT&T outlets will also get the much-longed-after device. The price, meanwhile, will remain right in line with regular old iPhones: $199 for a 16GB model, and $299 for a 32GB unit.
"The white iPhone 4 has finally arrived and it's beautiful," Apple exec Philip Schiller said in a prepared statement. "We appreciate everyone who has waited patiently while we've worked to get every detail right." And what a wait it's been! In the summer of 2010, when the iPhone 4 first launched, Apple made a black model available immediately, and promised a white model would be forthcoming shortly.
RELATED: White iPhone shows off new 'test' software
Cue a long delay, followed by a press statement: The white iPhone 4, Apple reps said, had proved "more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected." Some reported that the glue that held the glass to the white plastic created a foggy finish, not a good look for Apple products. Cue another long delay –– this one measured not in weeks but in months. This time, rumors said that the supply chain was so backed up that Apple didn't bother further encumbering manufacturers with the white iPhone 4. Finally, earlier this year, Reuters tracked down some folks familiar with the situation, and confirmed that a white iPhone 4 was indeed on the way.

Plantains considered a weed by many is a useful remedy for cough irratation and hoarseness. Also for gastritis. Decoction of dried leaves promotes blood clots for wounds.
Fresh leaves can be crushed and applied to wounds,cuts,scratches and insect bites. Plantain is used widely in the world. Is a proven antibiotic and stimulates healing process. Eastern-Central Medicinal Plants - Peterson Field Guide |

Also called "whiteman's foot" and "nature's band-aid." I can't comment on the other applications but I can say that the crushed (or chewed!) fresh leaves do make a nice and effective poultice on insect bites. FataMorgana |
Plantain (Plantago species) has demonstrated some wound healing/anti-inflammatory activity in studies, at least in the test tube or rodents. As an antibiotic though, its effects seem weak at best (I wouldn't depend on Peterson field guides for up-to-date herbal therapy advice). Incidentally, I think brendan may be thinking of plantain fruits (from Musa hybrids) with the comment about plantain being "delicious" (I can't imagine Plantago leaves being considered a gourmet delight). :) |

Plantain is one of the 1st herbs I learned before officially beginning studies in herbalism. I can definitely vouch for its efficacy in bee stings! When our kids were little we vacationed at Mammoth Cave KY and it seems bugs grow bigger down there. My son was stung by a bee and since we were traveling the only recourse I had was to look for plantain which grows nearly everywhere except chemically treated lawns. At least 2 other times on our trip we encountered children screaming coz they'd been stung by a bee and in each case I showed the mother plantain which was gratefully applied to the sting whereupon the children immediately quieted. I don't think you can get any better proof than that! So that has been my main application but I recently tinctured some to have during winter because I've also learned it is good for other things as well, like blood poisoning so always good to have on hand. |

Exactly what did you contribute to the thread as an herb eric? Actually bren you did good for once and i am proud of you. Keep up the good work!! Tho i don't think i'll put it in a salad. eric you said exactly what Petersons field guide said tho i'd depend on the guide rather than you. It is a good starting place for herb infomation. Much better info than from a coroner who hates everything herbal and is only here to cause strife. Like me except i'm pro herbs most of the time. |

Eric contributed knowledge about its efficacy in an animal model. From a biological and physiological standpoint that information is vital for making an informed decision about whether this intervention should be studied in humans. Who is this coroner who hates everything herbal? |

ohhhh Plantains or "white man's foot". Pretty cool plant. I just learned that the seed spikes are relished by cage birds. I think it's a pretty plant, and don't mind it in the lawn at all. When I was a kid we used it for a poultice for burns, cuts, etc but I haven't used it as an adult. This is inspiring me to use some that I have growing around the yard! |
I wonder if cultivated Hostas culd be used the same way. I think I recall reading somewhere that they are related to plantains--maybe just in the same family. I remember reading they can also be of assistance with poison ivy--I suppose because of their anti-inflammatory qualities. |

[ Member listing ]28 Mar · Mon 2011Here goes...what a different year this is going to be !
Well we are buying seed by the ounce and by the pound...big difference from last year. 150 feet of snow peas went in today instead of 20 feet like last year....100s of feet of squash, melons and green beans are planned. We have radishes with greens over a foot long!! We have French Breakfast radishes that are over 3 inches long. What a difference the new single layer of polyethylene is making. It is a new product for Conleys too and they said it had improved UV rating. Between that and the increased volume we are seeing incredible differences in production. The test green beans and squash are doing fantastic. Trays are started to go outside as soon as those night temps stay at 40. Meanwhile the onions are growing like crazy though you see a little damage on the initial greens from all the freezes. Dahlia size Zinnias are on their way to go into the ground with sunflowers and lavender will be available again. Basil inside is doing well...putting some outside to harden off to go in with the nice temps coming up. Molly has been working hard herding chickens, and she dug with me in the garden again. As I dug with the hand shovel she dug with her paws and then I started to smooth out the area for planting with my hands so she started using her nose!! It was so cute!! She is so smart!! I can't wait to get the livestock fence up and see her work all the animals!! First row being taken out of production in the old greenhouse this week. We are going to cover crop with barley and Daikon radishes. The Daikons are for a parishioner who is fighting cancer and is having a hard time finding them...our Daikons and prayers are for you Bob. Moonstruck signing out.
19 Feb · Sat 2011Testing...testing..snow!
Okay the winds were a real test on the overall structure, but now we get to find out what the snow load is on the single layer of polyethylene...came home from church and dinner and found 4 inches or so already built up and decided not to take any chances and went to work. It would not have been that bad, but the manufacturers claimed to have built in an anticondesant meaning no drips from the roof on the inside...not true. It does not drip in large drips, but it does spray especially as you are hitting the top with a flat broom to get the snow falling, and it was icy snow so it was not moving very easily. Other growers are using the nylon rope method of pulling it across the top, and I think we will try that next time and maybe next time I won't be so exhausted, and won't have to be jumping up and down to reach the top and then be rained with the condensation each time!! I was soaked by the time I came inside and I was inside the greenhouse! Well the exhausting days are part of farm life too...one part I willingly accept. Thanks to all who came through with their pork orders so that everything is ready for next week's processing...a few more left...drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com. I need to know by the 22nd!! Moonstruck signing off.
Posted by Rowena
03 Jan · Mon 2011Snow!!
Believe it or not I prefer snow around here...especially since we rarely get more than a foot or so. I think we are at about 8 inches now at most, but it is still slowly falling!! It becomes so quiet that you feel like you are wrapped up in a big blanket of white peacful feelings. Of course it is just beautiful and since the sun is peaking out just enough to melt the top of the greenhouse and snowfall has not been that heavy shoveling around the greenhouse was minimal. Taking care of the animals to make sure they had water and food in a secure location actually took a little longer. Sounds like a day to catch up on paperwork...though I will probably wander out to the greenhouse for just a little while...nice and toasty in there. Moonstruck Signing out.

Can someone help me pick out a jelly roll pan? What size is standard for recipes? etc.
Thanks, botanical_drifter |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd suggest shiny aluminum, and you can find professional grade at a Restaurant Supply Store that will keep it's shape. Flimsy pans that are this large can warp. I have jelly roll pans in two sizes because I have recipes for both. 10-1/2 x 15-1/2 x 1 (10-cups) 12-1/2 x 17-1/2 x 1 (12-cups) -Grainlady |
The half-sheet pans are most versatile, that's the largest size Grainlady mentioned. You can also get them at WalMart, $7 or $8 each. Get several. |
half sheet pans are great as cookie sheets or for a recipe that calls for that size pan...I think I only have 2 that do. But a standard "jelly roll pan" the size that you would actually bake the sponge cake for a jelly roll or the chocolate cake for a buche de noel or for a rolled souffle....or even many brownie recipes. A standard jelly roll pan is 10 1/2 by 15 1/2 a half sheet pan is 12 by 17. And check your oven....I have 2 ovens and the half sheet pans won't fit into the smaller oven. Linda C |
Mine pans are 12x17 and I only have one oven, so one will fit in perfectly. Mine are shiny aluminum, PolarWare, made in the USA. I have half a dozen of them because I use them for everything from Texas sheet cake to baking rolls for family dinners to roasting big bunches of vegetables. A triple batch of brownies fits just bout right and I've used them to make pumpkin rolls at Christmas , although I don't make graditional jelly rolls very often. I also use them to bake cookies. Mine came from Sam's Club, less than $10 for two. Annie |

LindaC: I wanted to let you know that the info you provided was a big help to me. I had a recipe that said to use a "jelly roll pan" but did not indicate what size. I have at least two different sizes of what look like jelly role pans. But since you said "a standard jelly roll pan is 10 1/2 by 15 1/2" that gave me a good indication which one to use, and the recipe ended up turning out great. So thanks! |
Glad to hear that....not much worse than using too big a pan and baking a "cake cookie"...!Even worse than using too small a pan and having it spill out the sides! Linda C |
In case anyone's still looking, I just picked up the 10 x 15 jelly roll pan made by USA pans and have been very impressed with it, it's solid, heavy and cleans up like a dream. Best price I've seen is Bed Bath & Beyond for $9.99, about $7-8 after coupon (not all BBY stores have them, so check first). Sur La Table also carries this line (branded with their name) and the same company makes the goldtouch bake ware for Williams Sonoma. |

Installed the new rear pinion seal, tapped in the rear seal flush with the outer third member, put everything back together, and its still leaking.
Question: I questioning "myself" as to, "should I have tapped the rear pinion seal further in, rather than flush with the outer memebr" , did I install it wrong? Should I have tapped in further ? I did not visually see any damage to the new seal while installing it in.
Is there another seal before the "pinion shaft" that I should have replaced? All that I noticed is a when removing the original "old" pinion seal is a large O-ring (larger washer) that slid onto the pinion shaft before the rear pinion seal. I took it off to take a look at it, installed the new pinion seal, forgot to put the metal O-ring back on before installing the "NEW" pinion seal, kick myself in the ass and had to redo another new pinion seal, this time installing the O-ring metal washer and then the pinion seal, again for a final install...dummy.
I dont believe that I over filled the rear diff fluid, but it could be possible. Filled it on a flat surface until the fluid started to run out the fill hole, then capped it shut.
Lost, dont know what to do. I did notice the oil starting to leak from the NEW rear diff seal area when I parked the Taco backwards on the driveway incline.
Any input would help out...thanks

CQ Press, a private publishing company that compares and ranks cities, released a report listing Shreveport as 69th in the nation in crime rate rankings. The Shreveport Police Department sees these rankings as a misleading way to compare crime in cities.
"I think the neighborhoods are really good. I think there's only a few neighborhoods that have problems, but it's like any other city. Everywhere is going to have problems," said Andrew Sparks, a Shreveport resident.
Securing neighborhoods and businesses around Shreveport is the duty of the police department. So, the city's ranking increasing from 82nd to 69th on the CQ Press list is surprising since crime in the city has decreased over the past thirty years.
"Our numbers are audited by the FBI," Sgt. Bill Goodin explained to us. He told us that crime in Shreveport continues to bend downward in Shreveport noting lows that have not been seen in thirty years. "Homicides have seen a tremendous decrease." Sgt. Goodin said robberies are also down this year. The Shreveport police credit these decreases to the collaborative effort between business owners, local residents and other law enforcement agencies.
The Shreveport Police Department believes comparing the cities in this way is a skewed view of ranking crime across the country. "There's so many discrepancies between the different cities. It's really like comparing apples to oranges," Sgt. Goodin told us. "Literally, what's an aggravated assault in Shreveport is not going to be an aggravated assault in Los Angeles or New York." In some jurisdictions, an aggravated assault can be considered almost a homicide, but in Shreveport it is considered a completely different crime.
Despite the jump on the list, residents of Shreveport still feel safe going about their everyday activities. Bill Richard, a Shreveport resident, told us that he feels safe going home, and he feels that his home is safe when he is not there.
Part of that feeling of safety can be credited to the constant presence of police cars seen around the city. "I've always noticed the cars," Richard told us. "There are several police officers who live in my neighborhood, so their cars are always outside their house." Sparks agreed with Richard noting that he's seen an increase of police units patrolling his neighborhood in the past few months. "They're pretty much everywhere."

School Super plans to speak out long and loud about state cuts
By KWGS News
In this election year, Tulsa School officials will be actively speaking out against state education budget cuts. Tulsa School Superintendent Doctor Keith Ballard says people need to realize the cuts are impacting students in the classroom.
The Tulsa Schools will lose over 100-teaching positions. Ballard says there will be no lay-offs, because they won't hire replacements for retiring teachers.
Hear the Superintendent's comments to the school board last night, by clicking the "Listen" link above.

Fine Arts
Dr. John Taylor, Friends University professor of music, and Dr. Timothy Shade, Bethel College instructor of instrumental music, will present a combined recital at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 30 in Sebits Auditorium in the Riney Fine Arts Center on the Friends University campus.
In 1944, the All Kansas regiment, the 137th Infantry, delivered Orléans, France, from Nazi occupation, and for the next 30 years there was an unofficial relationship between Orléans and Wichita. In 1974, Orléans and Wichita became official sisters through Sister Cities International.
The Friends University Jazz Ensemble will be traveling to France June 15 and representing Wichita at the Orléans Jazz Festival.
The Friends University Ballet Department will present a student-led choreography showcase at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, May 6, in Sebits Auditorium located in the Riney Fine Arts Center. The final performance will showcase the choreographic renditions of four students and will be open to public viewing with free admission.
Friends University will present its annual Symphony of Spring concert at 7:30 p.m. April 22-24 and at 3 p.m. April 25 in Sebits Auditorium in Riney Fine Arts Center.
Titled "Starting Here, Starting Now!," Symphony of Spring 2010 is about new life, new beginnings and renewal.
"Symphony of Spring is a great name for a show, but what does a 'Symphony' have to do with 'Spring?'" said Singing Quakers Director Dr. Mark Bartel. "This year's show celebrates spring, both literally and figuratively, in all its beauty, variety, freshness and energy."
Friends University will present a Harpsichord Dedication Concert at 3 p.m. April 18 in the Riney Fine Arts Center Gallery. This event is free to the public.
Dr. James Knight, assistant professor of piano, said it is a great pleasure to be able to perform on two harpsichords, which were built by Willis Overholt of Wichita. The acquisition of the two keyboard instruments comes as the result of a collaboration among Friends University music faculty members and Overholt. An anonymous donor provided the core funds for these two major purchases.
The Friends University Community Orchestra will present its People's Choice Concert, programmed by its audience at last November's concert, at 7:30 p.m. April 16 in the Casado Campus Center.
"They selected a very exciting program that I am sure will be enjoyed," said Richard Roller, music director. "This concert will be in the Casado center on campus, which will add another dynamic to the performance and should make for a very interesting evening."
The Friends University Singing Quakers will join forces with the Wichita Symphony Orchestra and Chorus to present one of the best-loved masterpieces of classical music. The "German Requiem" by Brahms reflects both upon the human experience of death and dying, and the triumph of hope and resurrection, said Dr. Mark Bartel, director of choral music.
"This special concert marks the final performance of Maestro Andrew Sewell with the Wichita Symphony Orchestra, with whom the Singing Quakers have enjoyed a long-standing relationship," Dr. Bartel said.
The Friends University Concert Choir will present its spring concert Friday, April 9, at 7:30 p.m. in Sebits Auditorium in the Riney Fine Arts Center under the direction of Rolaine Hetherington.
The Friends University Singing Quakers will present its Home Concert at 7:30 p.m. March 27 and at 3 p.m. March 28 in Sebits Auditorium in the Riney Fine Arts Center.
After traveling to Germany, Dallas and Chicago in recent years, the Singing Quakers have just returned from their tour of Western Kansas.
The Friends University Singing Quakers and Concert Choir will share the stage with some of Kansas' top high-school choirs at 7:30 p.m. March 30 in Sebits Auditorium in the Riney Fine Arts Center as they present their fourth annual "Choral Connections."
Joining the Friends University Singing Quakers, Concert Choir and Jazz Vocal Ensemble will be choirs from Wichita West High School, Wichita Heights High School, Trinity Academy and Northfield School of the Liberal Arts.

REVCLOUD has stopped working on my AutoCAD Electrical 2012 installation. It also does not work when I launch without Electrical. When I click on REVCLOUD, I get "Autoload Failed". If I run APPLOAD or add it to the Startup Suite, I get "ACET-ERROR-INIT" when I try to use REVCLOUD. I have verified that the EXPRESS folder (the location of REVCLOUD.lsp) is in my Working Support File Search Path. I do have a custom menu from a customer loaded, but I'm not sure if that's when this problem began or not. I have also tried running a repair installation, which indicated it was successful, but did not correct the problem. Any suggestions?
I dont believe you need Expresstools to run Revcloud anymore. It's an internal autocad command. Type .Revcloud (with the period at the front of the command) and it should work. If it does, then you need to have whomever does your setup of Lisps and shortcuts examine what is overwritting the internal command.
Thanks for the tip, but that didn't work either. I still get "Autoload Failed".
The error message is specific to ExpressTools normally: since this is a core command, did you by chance "migrate" from an older AutoCAD version when you installed 2012? Or did you try and force-install an old Express Tools package?
What is DEMANDLOAD set to?
DEMANDLOAD is set to "3" (but Autoload fails regardless of setting). I did not migrate from an older version; this was a new installation of AutoCAD Electrical 2012. I may however, have previously had AutoCAD LT 2004 and/or a third-party CAD package installed, but if I did, I unistalled them before installing 2012. I have a fairly-new hard drive, so I don't recall whether these packages were installed on them or not. I do know that this is not a problem for others who had previously had LT 2004 installed.
