Growing in Gardening Wisdom: Planning and Preparing
Gardening wisdom involves the ability to make sound judgments, based on accurate knowledge in many different areas and then to use this to successfully solve problems, avoid pitfalls and to reach our goals. In medieval Europe, cultivating this wisdom was called the pursuit of "tilth." Later, tilth came to be used to describe the structure and quality of soil. This class centers on developing a garden journal and planting some seeds, or garlic cloves, to take home.

with Jock from Iseli Nursery
Those spiral shrubs, the lollipops, cones, truffula trees and other green sculptures are called topiary -- an old art form that can bring formality or whimsy to a garden. But as a living craft, they need to be maintained, or they'll revert back to ordinary ol' shrubs. And now is a good time to do it!
Jock Demme of Iseli Nursery (source of some of our favorite exciting conifers) will share information on the shaving, shearing and overall shaping of these specimens. Could topiary be the next hot craft trend in Portland? Come find out if it's the art for you.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jameson!
Facts about Jameson
- Breed: Chihuahua Mix

Jameson's Info...

There is an adoption fee for Jameson.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jameson, a Las Vegas Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Las Vegas, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Las Vegas.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Las Vegas already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Las Vegas breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Las Vegas paves the way for another one to be saved.

Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Now king David was old, and advanced in years: and when he was covered with clothes he was not warm. | 1 When King David was old and well advanced in years, he could not keep warm even when they put covers over him. |
2 His servants therefore, said to him: Let us seek for our Lord the king, a young virgin, and let her stand before the king, and cherish him, and sleep in his bosom and warm our lord the king. | 2 So his servants said to him, "Let us look for a young virgin to attend the king and take care of him. She can lie beside him so that our lord the king may keep warm." |
3 So they sought a beautiful young woman, in all the coasts of Israel and they found Abisag, a Sunamitess, and brought her to the king. | 3 Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful girl and found Abishag, a Shunammite, and brought her to the king. |
4 And the damsel was exceedingly beautiful, and she slept with the king, and served him, but the king did not know her. | 4 The girl was very beautiful; she took care of the king and waited on him, but the king had no intimate relations with her. |
5 And Adonias, the son of Haggith, exalted himself, saying: I will be king. And he made himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. | 5 Now Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith, put himself forward and said, "I will be king." So he got chariots and horses ready, with fifty men to run ahead of him. |
6 Neither did his father rebuke him at any time, saying: Why hast thou done this? And he also was very beautiful, the next in birth after Absalom. | 6 (His father had never interfered with him by asking, "Why do you behave as you do?" He was also very handsome and was born next after Absalom.) |
7 And he conferred with Joab, the son of Sarvia, and with Abiathar, the priest, who furthered Adonias's side. | 7 Adonijah conferred with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, and they gave him their support. |
8 But Sadoc, the priest, and Banaias, the son of Joiada, and Nathan, the prophet, and Semei, and Rei, and the strength of David's army, was not with Adonias. | 8 But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei and Rei and David's special guard did not join Adonijah. |
9 And Adonias having slain rams and calves, and all fat cattle, by the stone of Zoheleth, which was near the fountain Rogel, invited all his brethren, the king's sons, and all the men of Juda, the king's servants: | 9 Adonijah then sacrificed sheep, cattle and fattened calves at the Stone of Zoheleth near En Rogel. He invited all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah who were royal officials, |
10 But Nathan, the prophet, and Banaias, and all the valiant men, and Solomon, his brother, he invited not. | 10 but he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the special guard or his brother Solomon. |
11 And Nathan said to Bethsabee, the mother of Solomon: Hast thou not heard that Adonias, the son of Haggith, reigneth, and our lord David knoweth it not? | 11 Then Nathan asked Bathsheba, Solomon's mother, "Have you not heard that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has become king without our lord David's knowing it? |
12 Now then, come, take my counsel, and save thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon. | 12 Now then, let me advise you how you can save your own life and the life of your son Solomon. |
13 Go, and get thee in to king David, and say to him: Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear to me, thy handmaid, saying: Solomon, thy son, shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? why then doth Adonias reign? | 13 Go in to King David and say to him, 'My lord the king, did you not swear to me your servant: "Surely Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he will sit on my throne"? Why then has Adonijah become king?' |
14 And while thou art yet speaking there with the king, I will come in after thee, and will fill up thy words. | 14 While you are still there talking to the king, I will come in and confirm what you have said." |
15 So Bethsabee went in to the king into the chamber. Now the king was very old, and Abisag, the Sunamitess, ministered to him. | 15 So Bathsheba went to see the aged king in his room, where Abishag the Shunammite was attending him. |
16 Bethsabee bowed herself, and worshipped the king. And the king said to her: What is thy will? | 16 Bathsheba bowed low and knelt before the king. "What is it you want?" the king asked. |
17 She answered, and said: My lord, thou didst swear to thy handmaid, by the Lord thy God, saying: Solomon, thy son, shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne. | 17 She said to him, "My lord, you yourself swore to me your servant by the LORD your God: 'Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he will sit on my throne.' |
18 And behold, now Adonias reigneth, and thou, my lord the king, knowest nothing of it. | 18 But now Adonijah has become king, and you, my lord the king, do not know about it. |
19 He hath killed oxen, and all fat cattle, and many rams, and invited all the king's sons, and Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the general of the army: but Solomon, thy servant, he invited not. | 19 He has sacrificed great numbers of cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the king's sons, Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army, but he has not invited Solomon your servant. |
20 And now, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldst tell them, who shall sit on thy throne, my lord the king, after thee. | 20 My lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, to learn from you who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him. |
21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king sleepeth with his fathers, that I, and my son, Solomon, shall be accounted offenders. | 21 Otherwise, as soon as my lord the king is laid to rest with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be treated as criminals." |
22 As she was yet speaking with the king, Nathan, the prophet, came. | 22 While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived. |
23 And they told the king, saying: Nathan, the prophet, is here. And when he was come in before the king, and had worshipped, bowing down to the ground, | 23 And they told the king, "Nathan the prophet is here." So he went before the king and bowed with his face to the ground. |
24 Nathan said: My lord, O king, hast thou said: Let Adonias reign after me, and let him sit upon my throne? | 24 Nathan said, "Have you, my lord the king, declared that Adonijah shall be king after you, and that he will sit on your throne? |
25 Because he is gone down to day, and hath killed oxen, and fatlings, and many rams, and invited all the king's sons, and the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest: and they are eating and drinking before him, and saying: God save king Adonias: | 25 Today he has gone down and sacrificed great numbers of cattle, fattened calves, and sheep. He has invited all the king's sons, the commanders of the army and Abiathar the priest. Right now they are eating and drinking with him and saying, 'Long live King Adonijah!' |
26 But me, thy servant, and Sadoc, the priest, and Banaias, the son of Joiada, and Solomon, thy servant, he hath not invited. | 26 But me your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon he did not invite. |
27 Is this word come out from my lord the king, and hast thou not told me, thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him? | 27 Is this something my lord the king has done without letting his servants know who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?" |
28 And king David answered, and said: Call to me Bethsabee. And when she was come in to the king, and stood before him, | 28 Then King David said, "Call in Bathsheba." So she came into the king's presence and stood before him. |
29 The king swore, and said: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress, | 29 The king then took an oath: "As surely as the LORD lives, who has delivered me out of every trouble, |
30 Even as I swore to thee, by the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: Solomon thy son, shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead, so will I do this day. | 30 I will surely carry out today what I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel: Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he will sit on my throne in my place." |
31 And Bethsabee, bowing with her face to the earth, worshipped the king, saying: May my lord David live for ever. | 31 Then Bathsheba bowed low with her face to the ground and, kneeling before the king, said, "May my lord King David live forever!" |
32 King David also said: Call me Sadoc, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Banaias, the son of Joiada. And when they were come in before the king, | 32 King David said, "Call in Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet and Benaiah son of Jehoiada." When they came before the king, |
33 He said to them: Take with you the servants of your lord, and set my son Solomon upon my mule: and bring him to Gihon: | 33 he said to them: "Take your lord's servants with you and set Solomon my son on my own mule and take him down to Gihon. |
34 And let Sadoc, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, anoint him there king over Israel: and you shall sound the trumpet, and shall say: God save king Solomon. | 34 There have Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king over Israel. Blow the trumpet and shout, 'Long live King Solomon!' |
35 And you shall come up after him, and he shall come, and shall sit upon my throne, and he shall reign in my stead: and I will appoint him to be ruler over Israel, and over Juda. | 35 Then you are to go up with him, and he is to come and sit on my throne and reign in my place. I have appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah." |
36 And Banaias, the son of Joiada, answered the king, saying: Amen: so say the Lord, the God of my lord the king. | 36 Benaiah son of Jehoiada answered the king, "Amen! May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, so declare it. |
37 As the Lord hath been with my lord the king, so be he with Solomon, and make his throne higher than the throne of my lord king David. | 37 As the LORD was with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon to make his throne even greater than the throne of my lord King David!" |
38 So Sadoc, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, went down, and Banaias, the son of Joiada, and the Cerethi, and Phelethi: and they set Solomon upon the mule of king David, and brought him to Gihon. | 38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites and the Pelethites went down and put Solomon on King David's mule and escorted him to Gihon. |
39 And Sadoc, the priest, took a horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon: and they sounded the trumpet, and all the people said: God save king Solomon. | 39 Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the sacred tent and anointed Solomon. Then they sounded the trumpet and all the people shouted, "Long live King Solomon!" |
40 And all the multitude went up after him, and the people played with pipes, and rejoiced with a great joy, and the earth rang with the noise of their cry. | 40 And all the people went up after him, playing flutes and rejoicing greatly, so that the ground shook with the sound. |
41 And Adonias, and all that were invited by him, heard it, and now the feast was at an end. Joab also, hearing the sound of the trumpet, said: What meaneth this noise of the city in an uproar? | 41 Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they were finishing their feast. On hearing the sound of the trumpet, Joab asked, "What's the meaning of all the noise in the city?" |
42 While he yet spoke, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar, the priest, came: and Adonias said to him: Come in, because thou art a valiant man, and bringest good news. | 42 Even as he was speaking, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest arrived. Adonijah said, "Come in. A worthy man like you must be bringing good news." |
43 And Jonathan answered Adonias: Not so: for our lord, king David, hath appointed Solomon king; | 43 "Not at all!" Jonathan answered. "Our lord King David has made Solomon king. |
44 And hath sent with him Sadoc, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Banaias, the son of Joiada, and the Cerethi, and the Phelethi, and they have set him upon the king's mule: | 44 The king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites and the Pelethites, and they have put him on the king's mule, |
45 And Sadoc, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, have anointed him king, in Gihon: and they are gone up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again: this is the noise that you have heard. | 45 and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon. From there they have gone up cheering, and the city resounds with it. That's the noise you hear. |
46 Moreover, Solomon sitteth upon the throne of the kingdom. | 46 Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne. |
47 And the king's servants going in, have blessed our lord king David, saying: May God make the name of Solomon greater than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king adored in his bed: | 47 Also, the royal officials have come to congratulate our lord King David, saying, 'May your God make Solomon's name more famous than yours and his throne greater than yours!' And the king bowed in worship on his bed |
48 And he said: Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who hath given this day one to sit on my throne, my eyes seeing it. | 48 and said, 'Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who has allowed my eyes to see a successor on my throne today.' " |
49 Then all the guests of Adonias were afraid, and they all arose, and every man went his way. | 49 At this, all Adonijah's guests rose in alarm and dispersed. |
50 And Adonias fearing Solomon, arose and went, and took hold of the horn of the altar. | 50 But Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, went and took hold of the horns of the altar. |
51 And they told Solomon, saying: Behold Adonias fearing king Solomon, hath taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: Let king Solomon swear to me this day, that he will not kill his servant with the sword. | 51 Then Solomon was told, "Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon and is clinging to the horns of the altar. He says, 'Let King Solomon swear to me today that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.' " |
52 And Solomon said: If he be a good man, there shall not so much as one hair of his head fall to the ground: but if evil be found in him, he shall die. | 52 Solomon replied, "If he shows himself to be a worthy man, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground; but if evil is found in him, he will die." |
53 Then king Solomon sent, and brought him out from the altar: and going in, he worshipped king Solomon: and Solomon said to him: Go to thy house. | 53 Then King Solomon sent men, and they brought him down from the altar. And Adonijah came and bowed down to King Solomon, and Solomon said, "Go to your home." |

"Not strong enouigh
by Steve
I was recently given a Chip and Dicer by my partner, it seemed great till I tried to chop something hard like large carrots then the blades buckled and shards of plastic came of the piece that pushes the veg what seemed to be a good product turned out to be a bit flimsy. Very disappointed.

"simple and easy to use
by graham
i have had this product for 18 months now and have used it for chips and dicing vegetables, my wife and I have found it very easy to use for which ever we have set it up for, the only problem we have had is the small blades have warped and twisted, has anyone found out about spare blades for this item.

"Magnificent product
by Sheila
Thank you Lakeland, I struggles with other chippers but this one is so easy. It chips potatoes, particularly really hard ones, with ease. If there is a down side I would say that drying all the parts can be a little difficult.

"Disappointed :-(
by Sarah Jane
Usually I love products from Lakeland but I was very disappointed with this. I previously had the red chipper which I purchased from you many years ago, loved it and had used it loads over the years with no problems. I bought this new product a few months ago as I was attracted to the dice function too. Anyway, I used it for the first time the other day to cut potatoes for chips and it broke after one use. The blades were bent and buckled and the potato didn't even go all the way through the blades and I ended up having to pull them out. Very disappointed, bring back the red chipper!

"Chip and Dice
by Mrs Moore
I bought this product to replace a much simpler model I bought some years ago. I found the instructions were not sufficient and could not use it. I had to go back to my knife. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

I found this gadget quite self explanatory. I did not even look at the instructions on the box. Had no trouble either making chips or dicing potatoes and vegetables. Easy to clean and very easy to use.

"great chips
by Louise
This was fantastic. Easy instructions, ratchet design simple to use, easier than ones that push down and it felt really sturdy. I love it!

"Long chips with less effort
by Jackie
I used my previous chipper a lot but have swapped to this one because it makes longer chips/ carrot sticks. (13.75cm, 5.5''). It takes much less effort to push down and therefore doesn't need a big sucker pad to attach it to the work top.

"Oh dearie me
by Mr Stuart Lawrence
£20 worth of cheap plastic. As soon as I put a bit of swede through it the blades buckled into a mess. its just not strong enough for "hard veg". I will be seeking a refund

"fabulous little number
by Mitchell
It's such an inexpensive piece of kit i wasn't confident it could possibly be of any good, but wanted to try it out just in case. Well it's fabulous! I've diced beetroot, bell peppers, carrots, courgettes, potatoes in no time at all. It's not tough enough to handle sweet potatoes which are super tough and mushrooms won't go through either - you get a bit out but the most end up squashed between the pusher nodules. It's cut down my chopping time greatly and i'm happy to keep on using it. Easy to clean, i've been washing it out in soapy water in no time & it fits in my kitchen drawer too!
Published 24 01 2014
"Poor product
by Miss julie porter
A considerable amount of brute force is required to use this. Chips, on the larger size, aren't too bad but it is very difficult pushing the potatoes through the cutting blades to get the small fries. I struggled and anyone with limited strength (ie older people) would find it difficult. Carrots are harder to do. It is NOT as easy as description indicates. Sometimes the blades don't line up with the cutting blades so the last bit of potato doesn't go through. (yes it is assembled correctly) Poor instructions. Poor product. If I could get free postage to return i'd send it back in a jiffy

"Very Disappointed
by Sandra
Bought this earlier in the year and up until yesterday had only used it for chips and soft veg. Used it on carrots and turnip last night - the blades bent and came detached from the frame and I then spent nearly half an hour trying to dismantle it, which then resulted in it going straight into the bin. Waste of money - may be OK for soft vegetables but easier, quicker and far cheaper! to do hard vegetables by hand.

"Time saver
by Mr Stinson
Apart from chips, we make batches of stew, which involves a lot of tedious dicing which can take a long time. With this it can be done in record time. Brilliant. A small word of caution, don't overload it with too much hard veg like swede all at once and it makes a first rate job. Everything else and it is fine. We found it easy to put together and use. A very good purchase.

"Easy to use chipper

Bought to go with the Actifry - great little gadget, easy to use and washing it a breeze. Not very clear instructions but how many do you want for such a simple thing.

"Perfect sweet potato fries
by Gary
Incredibly easy to put together and dismantle for cleaning purposes. I'd suggest that if you're trying to make chips, you soften the potato in a microwave for a minute or so before putting through the slicer.

"It's a no from me.
by Emma
Sorry Lakeland, this is the first time I've ever been disappointed with a product of yours. But this one gets a definite thumbs down. I received this as a gift and on the first try all the blades became warped and fell out out. Pulling the potato off the blade was a difficult task and I have a few small cuts from it. It seems that the blades just aren't strong enough. It might be fine for using on softer vegetables such as onions etc, but no good at all for potatoes, which is a shame.
Published 30 04 2013
A note from the team: Thanks for placing your review. We're sorry for the disappointment and will be in touch shortly. When used correctly, there should be no need to touch the sharp blades as the pusher forces the food through the blades. The blade itself can be detached for washing away any residue, as can the other parts of the item.
"Worst gadget I've ever bought
by Sassi
I got this at the recommendation of the shop assistant to make dicing veg to make baby food easier. It is completely useless. It did chop a bit of the carrot but then most of it got stuck in the blades and was almost impossible to get out again. Would be quicker and more effective to chop things with a plastic spoon. Extremely disappointed. Total waste of money and will never be used again. This has put me off buying Lakeland products.

"A Real Disappointment
by GEM
When at Lakeland my husband decided I really needed this to assist with my new slow cooker. The dice part is manual labour. You have to push the veg part way through the blades, then slice through. Continue a bit further then slice again. There is a knife guide on the front but you need a sharp long knife that goes all the way across the machine otherwise it's not all cut. My first try and the slicer's blades bent so took it back to the store and got a refund. A real disappointment. I wish I'd read the comments before buying, it would have saved me a long drive back into town!
Published 22 02 2013
A note from the team: Thanks for taking the time to write your review. I'm sorry you'd been disappointed with the chip & dice I'm glad the staff at the store were able to help.
"Fab chipper
by Marianne Rolfe
along with previous comments, I agree, the instructions are not clear enough. Once mastered - lovely product and will not be chopping with a knife anymore!! - Also, very easy to clean and no risk of cutting yourself, unlike any other I have used previously.

text: Hello! I have never been on a 'chat' before, and while researching MRC, I found this site and I couldn't believe all the posts and people on MRC. I would say that this chat is what got me over the hump to make my appointment and go into the clinic today. I signed up on the spot, nervous as heck, because it is expensive, but maybe the investment will help me stick to the program. I ran into 2 people at the clinic today that were there for their weigh ins, and they introduced themselves to me and raved about their journey. I am a pretty skeptical person, but somehow this program seems just fine- I like structure. I have pre-conditioning through next thursday, then start HRC on Friday. I can't believe all that I will be cutting out of my diet, will be interesting to see if the weight comes off like they said...:carrot::carrot::carrot:

"A LEGJOBB HELY AHOL FOKOZNI TUDOD A BRINGÁZÁS ÉLMÉNYÉT AZ A GUMI. EZ HATÁSSAL VAN MINDENRE: MILYEN GYORSAN GÖRDÜL A BRINGA, MENNYIRE KANYARODIK JÓL, HOGYAN FÉKEZHETŐ. A GUMIK AZ ALAPJAI MINDEN BRINGÁZÁSNAK" - MIKE SINYARD, alapító, és elnök
A tejles cikket megtalálod angolul lejjebb:
TIRES ARE IN OUR BLOOD Our enduring tradition of excellence began in 1976 when Mike Sinyard introduced the first product ever under the Specialized banner, the Touring Tire, followed two years later by the Turbo – the first clincher to offer performance equal to tubulars. Almost 40 years later, we're revolutionizing the Turbo name again.
Working with our very own bicycle tire compounding guru, Wolfgang Arenz, we've developed a completely proprietary - and completely revolutionary - new rubber compound called Gripton. Already seen propelling riders like Mark Cavendish and Tony Martin to stage victories in the Giro and the Tour, Gripton represents a new level of tire performance for all racers.
Introducing the new S-Works Turbo, our top-tier clincher, tubeless, and tubular performance tire. By redesigning the compound, we're able to redesign what tire performance should be.
WOLFGANG ARENZ: THE MASTER CRAFTSMAN Compounding is as much art as it is science, and Wolfgang Arenz is a true craftsman. With 30 years of experience in compounding rubber for applications in the automobile, motorcycle, and bicycle industries, Wolfgang wanted to explore the next level in bicycle tire compounds, and Specialized was the perfect place to do that.
For eight months Wolfgang worked on Gripton, going through cycles of development; working with raw material suppliers for ingredients; formulating and manufacturing test samples; evaluating with riders; then making adjustments based on results and feedback. Wolfgang's work touches every single tire that we make, and we're confident Gripton is just the start of many new and innovative creations in the years to come.
A WINNING FORMULA The entire process for developing the S-Works Turbo Tire is finely honed to ensure the best outcome. This is how we do it:
GET THE INGREDIENTS RIGHT We are in constant contact with raw material suppliers to use or tune their latest developments to make our compound faster, better handling, and longer lasting.
CONTROL THE MIX The Gripton compound is engineered carefully. Every ingredient that goes into it is fixed at a certain value for a reason. Developing the new formula is a lesson in balance.
MANUFACTURE WITH CARE We do countless process trials to find the right way of producing compounds. When we have all parts ready, defined and tested in prototyping, only then we approach our best manufacturing partner for serial production. We then work with the factory to control quality in every production step.
REFINE TO IMPROVE The new Gripton compound's performance has been tested, not only against previous designs, but against benchmark competitors' tires. Iterations of new compound formulations were shared with team Omega Pharma-Quick Step through sample tires, and feedback then collected on how they performed. As riders we can relate to pro rider feedback and we use it to drive development.

MUMBAI, INDIA — At his town hall meeting at St. Xavier College, President Obama was asked how the midterm elections would impact his foreign policy, particularly as it relates to India.
"One of the wonderful things about democracy is that when the people are not happy it is their right, obligation and duty to express their unhappiness much to the regret sometimes of incumbents," the president said. "But that's a good thing, that's a healthy thing."
The president said his "obligation is to make sure that I stick to the principles and beliefs and ideas that will move America forward," but the election results — the "shellacking," as he called it a few days ago –"also requires me to make some mid-course corrections and adjustments. And how those play themselves out over the next several months will be a matter of me being in discussions with the Republican party, which is now going to be controlling the House of Representatives, and there are going to be areas where we disagree and hopefully there are going to be areas where we agree."

Aunt Molly's Husk tomato (aka Ground Cherry)
More Information:
- Slow Food USA
- Map of Growers
- Find Growers by State:
This heirloom is not actually a cherry, but rather a small ground tomato. The fruits were recorded in horticultural literature as early as 1837 in Pennsylvania and are still common today at roadside stands in late summer. This outstanding Polish variety is prized for its clean flavor, with hints of vanilla and pineapple. Because of their high pectin count, the Ground Cherries can be used for preserves, pies, over ice cream or in fresh fruit salads.

text: But Morocco isn't a conservative country, it's actually a liberal one. Women own businesses and take part in public life, move about freely and are not required to be chaperoned or wear restrictive clothing. I actually found that the men tended to dress modestly and behave more respectfully towards me than in the UK. Gay people are usually accepted, quite openly so - and you'll find cross-dressed dancers performing every evening in the Djemma Al-Fna. Moroccan Islamic traditions are much more moderate than many other countries - no one is persecuted for their religious practices, and many places serve alcohol to tourists even if most of the residents don't partake themselves. You can even buy hashish openly on the streets of Marrakech if you want to. It's not a perfect country - its occupation of Western Sahara is one thing I particularly object to - but it's hardly Saudi Arabia. This arrest is out of the ordinary, and I don't think Ray Cole can be blamed for failing to expect it.

I'm no expert here by any means which probably explains the question. But is it possible to use grass as a topper and keep it trimmed up? I was just thinking it would make it look really cool with nice green grass growing in the pot along with the bonsai. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Don't even think about it! Grass roots will compete for water and space and kill your trees... just not done. Ever. |
- Posted by spaceman13 6b (My Page) on Thu, Aug 7, 14 at 15:12
Though grass would not actually kill the tree, it would make a difficult task much MUCH harder, but there's no law against it. My only question is, where would you find a little wee tiny lawn mower? |
- Posted by sacampbell97 none (My Page) on Thu, Aug 7, 14 at 17:59
Lol, I would just use scissors. I've grown grass in a small pot before and used scissors and the grass stayed small, but I see why it's unrealistic because of the roots and proper watering would be near impossible |

Can Pakistan force US to back off special ops and drone attacks?
Pakistan is trying to use the case of the CIA's Raymond Davis to limit US drone strikes and covert operations on its soil. But with its reliance on US aid, how much leverage does it really have?
Kirsty Wigglesworth/AP
The US counterterrorism strategy in Afghanistan has long relied heavily on covert operations in neighboring Pakistan: US intelligence agents and Special Forces units working to find out which extremist groups were planning what actions, and American drones attacking the safe havens in northwest Pakistan from which the Taliban launch cross-border operations.
That strategy has been thrown for a loop by Pakistan's latest demands: that the CIA drastically reduce its numbers in the country and that the intensely unpopular drone strikes be reduced and henceforth only launched by a binational decision-making process.
Pakistan has made similar demands before, and this time around it may be using what it sees as an opportune moment to try to gain more influence over US operations – perhaps to nip what it sees as an increasingly "go-it-alone" US counterterrorist approach within Pakistani borders.
But some regional experts say that, whatever its aims may be, Pakistan is now pushing the never-easy relationship with the US harder than ever before.

Clinton, TOUR team up for day devoted to healthy living
Former President Bill Clinton and TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem helped lead a forum on wellness.January 17, 2012
Helen Ross, PGATOUR.COM Chief of CorrespondentsLA QUINTA, Calif. -- The cause is not new.
Way back when Thomas Jefferson was President of the United States in the early 1800s, he used to urge Americans to exercise two hours a day. At the very least, the country's third Chief Executive wanted people to get out of their houses and take a walk.
PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem no doubt gleaned that bit of information he shared with the audience on Tuesday when he studied law at the University of Virginia, which Jefferson founded back in 1819. President John F. Kennedy's message on health and well-being, though, was much more recent.
"He said, 'Well, Thomas Jefferson said we should walk or exercise two hours a day,'" Finchem recalled. "If he was President of the United States, Secretary of State and ambassador to France and he had time to do two hours a day, well, we ought to be able to get our kids to do 15 or 20 minutes a day.

on May 7, 2014We usually keep Princess Dumbass Of The Northwoods off the menu because, frankly, in the context of this feature, it would be like filling up on breadsticks before the entree arrives. But, some days, it's just unavoidable.
"Also," she added, excitedly, "her daughter Chelsea is pregnant with the baby - it's a real baby, not just some disposable something." "Now, I know that's going to be controversial, but those who are, perhaps, in the position now to be a parent or a grandparent, they realize about the sanctity of life. How innocent, precious it is," she said. "And of all places, it should be in the womb that these babies are protected - so maybe even on a social issue like that, she'll open her eyes."
Stumps, sacks of hair, bags of hammers, and boxes of rocks continue to be offended by the comparison.

Montana State University Billings graduated more students in 2012 than in any other year of its history. The 1,028 graduating last weekend included 347 from the College of Technology and 98 earning master's degrees.
On Saturday, 208 students received degrees from Rocky Mountain College.
While we congratulate these new graduates, we are mindful that the class of 2012 has a burden that weighed less heavily on past generations of college alumni. Student debt is rising faster than general inflation and much faster than family income.
Two-thirds of U.S. college seniors graduating in 2010 had student loan debt, and those in debt were carrying an average of $25,250 in loans. That was 5 percent higher than in 2009, a trend that has been seen for the past few years, according to The Project on Student Debt.
Meanwhile, average in-state tuition and fees at U.S. public colleges and universities rose 8 percent over the past year.
With student debt growing so fast, students won't be the only ones to feel the effects.
"Some economists fear that lingering student debt will force many young adults to delay or defer important milestones, such as marriage and starting a family, which can impede a full economic recovery," according to an article in the May issue of Consumer Reports.
For example, paying off student debt may force young adults to forgo buying homes at a time when the housing market is still struggling across much of the nation. Without young buyers, seniors may not be able to sell their homes.
In February, President Barack Obama's fiscal 2013 budget proposed that the interest rate for federally subsidized student loans remain at 3.4 percent for the coming year.
In March, the Republican-led U.S. House Appropriations Committee called for changes in federal student loans to students with financial need, proposing that those students start paying interest on the loans while they are still in school and scaling back the interest repayment programs (based on income) that make loans more affordable. That House budget proposal didn't address the scheduled doubling of interest rates on federally subsidized student loans.
More recently, both Democrats and Republicans have spoken in favor of holding the line on student loan interest rates that are scheduled to double for loans made after July 1. Montana's entire congressional delegation recently told a Gazette reporter that they favor maintaining the 3.4 percent rate. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has agreed with Obama on student loan rates.
However, the parties disagree on how to pay for the estimated $6 billion one-year cost. Democrats have proposed scaling back oil company subsidies while Republicans, including Rep. Denny Rehberg, propose eliminating some funding for public health care.
At a time when students and families generally can't earn even 1 percent on their savings accounts, the federal low-interest-rate policy ought to extend to investing in college education.
However, the Stafford loan interest rate is just one facet of the student debt problem.
In addition to subsidized federal loans, students may get unsubsidized government loans or private loans from commercial banks and other lenders. Those private loans may carry variable interest rates and may require payments while the student is still in school. It's also important to note that students who default on their loans will ruin their credit rating, but bankruptcy generally will not allow discharge of student debt.
As noted by Consumer Reports, many students don't understand the loans they have. The Institute for College Access and Success reports that data on student debt load isn't readily available from most private lenders.
In addition to holding the line on interest rates, Congress and Obama should act to require greater transparency. Students and families need clear information to get the best deals on loans and to minimize borrowing. Education leaders and public policymakers need comprehensive data on student loans so they will understand the effects of their decisions. The work study and Pell grant programs must be sustained for financially needy and academically able students so they don't have to borrow more to complete a degree.
Despite the debt burden, higher education remains the surest path to prosperity for young Americans. According to a report released in January by Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce, the overall unemployment rate for recent U.S. bachelor's degree recipients was 8.9 percent, compared with 22.9 percent for recent high school graduates and 31.5 percent for recent high school dropouts.
College grads are more likely to be workers and higher earners whose taxes will support public services — such as affordable higher education for the next generation.

If there's a better hardcore country record in 2014 than Carlene Carter's Carter Girl, I haven't heard it.
Read Whole Story
You have a new album, Carter Girl, that takes you back to your roots. What does being a Carter Girl mean to you?
"I've always been a roots enthusiast really, it's always been based around the blues and folk music, so there are large areas of influence there. I didn't just want to just make a straight blues album."
The repertoire was primarily a melding of American folk and blues with Juldeh Camara bringing the West African flavor.
Here's a playlist for a Jersey girl with big dreams, at least some of them not involving "Witchcraft" or "That Old Black Magic."
Reviewed this week: Rosanne Cashe, Built to Spill, Kraftwerk, Willie Nelson and more.
Rosanne Cash has never been more naked as an artist than she is today. Her new album The List isn't the record of a deteriorating relationship like Interiors. It's just her as a singer.

From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day.

How To Handle Things When He Pulls Back
When he pulls back, it's your time to have an intimate relationship with yourself. Think of his taking space as a chance to self-reflect and decide if you really do want to be with him.
Self-Reflection When He Pulls Back
Do you like who you are as a girlfriend? As a woman? Do you feel dignified and proud of the way you've acted in the relationship? Forget about what he says about you or what you think he needs (stop analyzing him) and instead take the time when he pulls back to evaluate yourself in a healthy way.
Evaluating yourself as a girlfriend, friend, lover, confidante, intimate partner, etc. is not about beating up on yourself. You're already feeling down and in the muck. This is simply a chance to show yourself that you actually do have a lot of worth and things to offer any man if you look closely. It's also a way for you to feel proactive about your love life, giving yourself something to improve upon while feeling totally out of control when it comes to him.
Maybe you'll realize some surprising things. Maybe you'll see that your main problem as a girlfriend is that you pick "limited" men or that you stay in sour relationships too long. Maybe it's not about you having flaws but you coveting and nurturing flawed relationships.
Do You Really Want To Be With Him?
When he pulls back it automatically makes us want him more. We strap on our fighting gear and we do what it takes to win his heart once more. But the truth is that a lot of women (I have this problem too) would rather fight for love (at least we feel more comfortable doing so) than be in love.
I struggled for years with intimacy issues and if you find that you burn way too much of your mental and emotional energy on unrequited love with men when they pull back, you probably have intimacy issues, too.
Be honest with yourself: Are you more in love with him now that he pulls back? Do you know he's the one only now that he's pulled back, when before you weren't sure? Do you really think that him pulling back is about the relationship or is it that he has some emotional unavailability that you can't allow yourself to accept?
You live one life. Do you want to spend it wondering and worrying if a man will love you again? This is an especially good question if you've only been dating him six months or so. If you're married to him for years, perhaps your relationship just needs a wake-up call and a little CPR. It all depends. However, the important thing now is not him; it's you and your sense of self-worth and emotional security with or without him.
