How long were you together before becoming engaged/ married? I need some advice. I have been putting a lot of though into my relationship with my boyfriend. We dated casually for about 3 years off and on and finally decided to commit and be serious in May. We are expecting a beautiful little girl (his first, my second) in February and I am thinking about asking him to marry me. We did take things fairly slowly, we didn't have sex until we decided to become serious, this time we decided we wanted it to be only us and have both been faithful, we are in the process of moving in together. I have heard both good and bad stories about dating/ proposal times and would like to know yours and get a little input on the situation. Please and Thank you. =]

We dated for one year before he proposed. I was 24 and he was 25. Our engagement was appx 6 months.

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!" ~ CS Lewis
Dh and I met for the first time in June 2005. I had a boyfriend at the time so no biggie. (He's actually one of my best friends brother's...) We met again in Feb. 2006 and we started talking a lot. I was actually trying to hook him up with one of my friends. Turns out he had no interest in her and he had interest in me....I decided to give it a try. We started 'seeing' each other in May 2006 and were officially dating by the end of June 2006. He proposed Nov. 2008 and we were married Jan. 2009 (insurance reasons). Our first baby was born in July 2010, our second came in May 2011 and our third and final will be here Feb. 2013!

We did it the "traditional" way. Met 11 years ago, friends for a year, dated for 3.5 and married for 3 till I gave birth to my first. 2.5 years later expecting our second. No sex before we got married... But hey there are tons and tons of variation and no one can tell you the RIGHT way for you.
One thing I do know is that children thrive in a committed relationship/home with both parents loving and present. And you are on the right track for your little one!
DD born May, 2010
DS born Feb, 2013
Dated for about 1 1/2 years, engaged for about 1 1/2 years. We were also pretty young, but I think it was the perfect amount of time for our relationship.
We moved in together after just a few days of hanging out. We were living together 5 years before he proposed. It took a little over a year to plan the wedding. We were married in May of 2009 and I'm living my happily ever after.
Do what feels right to you & your relationship. I would definately give it some time living together before walking down the isle. You really learn a lot about a person when you live with them as opposed to just dating... I don't think I would propose to a man thou. I would drop hints to DH before he proposed. I would put diamond engagement ring pictures in DH's lunch box and I even signed him up for local jewelers emails.. lol.. He got the hint and I got my ring... I dont think I would have the nerve to ask for fear of the "No" answer... and my man is big into historical family roles.. so proposing was something he had to do. Me proposing would have thrown off the balance of his universe!

Unsatisfactory shooter
Sniper Strike is a first-person arcade game that manages to drain much of the fun out of a time-honored video-game pursuit: shooting bad guys in the head.
Sniper Strike is a first-person arcade game that manages to drain much of the fun out of a time-honored video-game pursuit: shooting bad guys in the head.
This game's main problem is its clunky interface. You see a small portion of the playfield through your rifle's scope, and you touch and drag to move the terrain around--which varies over the game's two built-in maps, a village and a city. When a target moves into the center of your screen, a small reticle appears over it, and then you tap a touch-screen fire button to shoot. The animations don't always load smoothly, though, so targets (and the background) can jerk back and forth, making for a frustrating experience. Fortunately, updates have at least allowed you to invert the controls, if that helps.
Different play modes add some variety to Sniper Strike, including Massacre, Protect the Flag, and an interesting Arcade mode that challenges you to pick a target out of a crowd based on appearance. Unfortunately, the enemy AI is seemingly nonexistent in this game: your target (and everyone around it) will just keep walking nonchalantly no matter how many bullets you fire into or around them--and if you run out of time on a particular target in Arcade mode, then you're just moved on to another target (and you're penalized if you continue firing on the original target, who is apparently no longer a "bad guy"). If you're looking for a realistic sniper experience, you won't get it here.
Sniper Strike has OpenFeint integration and a purchasing system (you earn or lose money based on your success) in which you can buy different weapons and upgrades. The game also includes a store that asks you to earn "Sniper Cash" to unlock maps and power-ups by installing other apps or signing up for offers through sponsors like GameFly and Disney.

Nicole Leigh Gustely, 20, is charged with assault with a stun gun or Taser, according to a complaint by Deputy District Attorney Linda Witong. The charge carries a penalty of up to a year in jail or three years in prison.
Gustely, who is free on bail, is scheduled to appear for arraignment on Monday. She could not be reached for comment.
The incident occurred June 23 at 155 H Lane, a four-bedroom home off Atherton Avenue in the Green Point area. Gustely is accused of firing a Taser at her landlord, 48-year-old Fred Kusin of Petaluma, when he came over to inspect the exterior of the property.
One of the electrical probes hit Kusin in the face and he collapsed. The devices are designed to momentarily paralyze their targets.
Kusin was treated at Novato Community Hospital.
Kusin, a real-estate broker, said he has started eviction proceedings against Gustely and a man who lives at the residence, but he said the effort is complicated because his ex-wife was the one who signed their lease.
Kusin's ex-wife, Roberta DiPrete, a real estate broker with a law degree, said she does not want to evict the tenants.
The property has attracted police law enforcement attention and some neighborhood complaints because of a marijuana grove the tenants started at the site.
The county's drug task force has investigated the tenants and determined that they are lawful marijuana growers who provide the pot to medical caregivers.
Additional problems were reported at the property during the past week. Late Monday night, residents reported that four men in masks attempted to enter the property but fled, according to sheriff's reports.
The next night, two burglars wearing masks and carrying bags were seen jumping over the fence. An unspecified amount of loose marijuana remnants was taken during the burglary.

Toyota Sequoia Three Zone AC
I am considering a Sequioa but am unsure about the AC/Heat zoning.. I read where there are three zone but it doesn't say there are different zones for the driver and front passenger. For a happy marriage while traveling, this is important.
warwickmon Posts: 27I have had my 2008 Sequoia Platinum for less than a week. As stated by the previous replyer, there are 3 zones, driver, passenger, and rear. Driver and passenger do have their own controls. Plus with the click of one button, you can "Sync" all 3 zones to the same temperature. In addition to the dashboard controls, the driver can control his zone on the steering wheel.
My wife requires maximum heat at all times, no matter what so this was a must for me as well.
I have to add how nice the heated seats are. It is currently in the teens here in MA and you literally freeze your #$%! off outside. The heated seats heat up very fast (faster than the rest of the car) anf get very hot. Once the rest of the car warms up, I have to turn it down or it's too hot. I am pleasantly surprised how much I like this feature.

Bits and Pieces: Riches Found In Shark Tank
February 2014 By Erik CagleHowever, the Whitemans reaped a pair of offers from two sets of sharks. In one offer, sharks Lori Greiner (of QVC home shopping fame) and Herjovec (now back in) offered the Whitemans $750,000 to buy GrooveBook outright, but Brian Whiteman said he wanted some "skin in the game." So Greiner/Herjovec countered with $375,000/50 percent stake.
In the other offer, Cuban and venture capitalist Kevin O'Leary proposed $150,000 for an 80 percent share for the ability to license GrooveBook and offer it as a service, with the Whitemans maintaining their subscription-based holdings. That way, it could be offered to other online photo book companies that cannot provide it as cheaply to their own clients due to mailing costs—companies that would sell them as one-off products.
Although Herjovec argued that end users buying their pictures in one-off fashion from licensees could cannibalize the Whitemans' subscription-based model, Brian Whiteman opted to go with Cuban and O'Leary. Whiteman called the opportunity to double dip a "win-win situation."
It would be interesting to check back with Whiteman in a year's time to see how GrooveBook is faring. PI

"We must get it right, but we're on the wrong path at the moment," Van der Hoeven told reporters in the Seoul. The agency said an additional $44trn in investment was needed to secure a "clean-energy future" by 2050, compared with the $36trn it had estimated in its 2012 report. "The increase partly shows something the IEA has said for some time: the longer we wait, the more expensive it becomes to transform our energy system," Van der Hoeven said.

In March 2011, Illinois' governor signed a law that forces online retailers that work with affiliates in the state to collect sales tax on purchases made by residents.
Starting in July, any business with an affiliated presence in Illinois will be required to collect a 6.25% sales tax.
Illinois has estimates that it loses between $153 million and $170 million in sales tax revenue annually due to retailers not collecting the tax.
In response, Amazon made good on its threat of cutting its ties with Illinois affiliates. Its affiliate program will be terminated on April 15.
"We play by the same rules as other retailers, as the national chains collect online only for states where they have physical stores," Paul Misener, Amazon's vice president for public policy, said in a statement.Vermont Vermont's House passed a bill on March 10, 2011, that would require affiliates of online retailers and other Internet businesses that perform more than $10,000 in sales a year to collect a 6% sales tax starting on July 1, 2012. The new regulation would result in about $30 million of new revenue for the state. The bill is moving to the Senate for consideration. Amazon has not said whether or not it will end its partnerships in the state.

Steal Away
Prohibition. The Charleston. Hard times. Jazz. Foreclosures. Breakaways and cutting loose. Twilight Amery sets her sights on Harlem, where a girl with a voice--even a white man's bastard from Alabama--can be somebody. Hopping a freight train, she joins up with the beautiful, bitter Mr. Stone and the compellingly magnetic Hector, two Harlem men trying to get home however they can. Faced with club-wielding Pinkerton agents, an inconvenient dead body, and a shortage of money, Twilight and Stone forge an alliance while pursuing their individual mating dances with Hector. Then an old enemy of Stone's intercepts them, and issues a challenge that Twilight makes the mistake of accepting.
Excerpt, chapter 1:
Twi lay hidden among the honeysuckle vines, ignoring the mosquitoes and the gravel digging into her sweaty skin as she watched the dark bulk of the freight train creep backward. So many times, she and the other pickers had lain hiding like this, ready to swarm a car and throw down sacks and satchels of rice or coal for the little ones to collect. Tonight the little ones had been left to home.
Tonight she wore a picker's britches for the last time, and her carpetbag satchel was already full. She'd packed corn bread, a double handful of field peas, two corked jugs of water, her shoes, two dresses with underthings, a flour-sack towel, soap, a comb, a threaded needle, nearly seventeen dollars, a shiv, and a traced map showing how to get from the Harlem train station to a YWCA that accepted colored girls.
Alabama would never see this Twilight again. Not if she could help it.
She'd let the first train pass on after seeing the Pinkerton man pacing in the moonlight, swinging his club. Being as she could see him, likely he could see her. Those men delighted in guarding the trains from pickers, hoboes, adventurous boys, and anybody as desperate as Twilight Amery.
So she'd waited, breathing honeysuckle and the creosote off the railroad ties, letting the mosquitoes feed on her. She'd waited knowing the second train would come by as the moon was setting behind the mountains over toward Birmingham. She wouldn't need cloud shadow to catch a ride on that one.
But the second train had come way early. The moon, still high, ducked in and out from behind ragged clouds.
The wind blew strong way up there. Down here, wasn't a breath to cool her skin. Sweat stung her eyes. She had nothing to wipe them with but her shirt or the rag-rope she'd braided to make a shoulder strap for her satchel. Both were black with coal dust.
She blinked and set her mind to endure the wait, mosquitoes and sweat and all. At this time of summer folks slept on their porches, or tried. Just too hot to sleep good anywhere. But it was also too hot to stay completely awake. And that would give her the best chance she would ever have to sneak onto the northbound train.
To her right, Timmy, Hooter, and Harelip Joe muttered together, waiting to see if she made the train on her own. If the Pinkerton man reacted to her, the boys had promised to jump the train, make noise, and let themselves be chased away. If she couldn't trust them, she couldn't trust anyone.
If they failed, she'd have to hope the Pinkerton would kill her, not leave her crippled up like Timmy's oldest brother.
It was bad enough to be some white man's bastard in Alabama. If crippled too, she'd have to get to a track somehow and lay herself down in front of the next train. Jesus would understand.
The whistle blew two long hoots, the"leaving now" signal. To the front of the train, cars paused, and one by one clanged and groaned before changing direction.
Twilight pressed her lips together, inwardly snarling at the bright moonlight. The Pinkertons had to know this junction was a favorite for pickers and hoboes alike, so they'd be watching.
This was the last train before dawn. Time was up.
The boys were talking about going home. They had homes to go to.
As of midnight, the bank owned the Amery house. A mortgage of some kind had come due. Her suspicions as to who'd signed the paper and got the money made no nevermind. She was free of it all.
If she had to walk to Pell City, or even Birmingham, she'd find a train headed to New York City, where there was still plenty of jobs. To Harlem, where a singer could get rich. To the Apollo Theater, the Lafayette, the Savoy, or that new one on the radio, the Cotton Club.
The cars clanked by faster, already moving at a dog-trot speed. Under the clanging metal racket of wheel and coupling, the mosquitoes whined on, one tickling her eyelid. She batted it away.
Tonight everything had seemed so right. Everything. Until this train had decided to pull in so early.
She rested her forehead on her fists -- and the moon went to shadow.
Reviews for Steal Away:
...there is an immediacy to the story that makes me feel that I'm there, right there, with the characters. B!
What a rewarding delight is this book! Rich in vivid poetic imagery that awakens all the senses, rife with historical accuracy and period detail, Steal Away immediately enraptures the reader and elicits intense empathy for the characters. From the beginning, I was glued to the page... 5 stars!
As I read, I felt as if I was right there with the characters riding a freight car through the Alabama countryside, running from the police in Chattanooga, visiting a cathouse in Atlanta, or walking the streets (and avoiding the alleys) of Harlem...This is the first of Ms. Green's stories that I have had the pleasure of reading. Although I have read other stories featuring ménage relationships, the one that is featured here is unique and fascinating. Overall, I found Steal Away well-written, suspenseful, and quite entertaining. Rating: 4.5

Do you have a Lowes? They sell the Greenlight Spinosad product. I have been using this product this year to prevent leaf miners and caterpillars and it is part of my regular foliar spraying routine. You can apply it up to 6 times a season on Toms with only 1 day between spraying and harvest. I mix in seaweed and molasses to get some foliar feeding in as long as I am spraying the spinosad anyway. Bug control and feeding in one application it works well for me. |
I bought it as Monterey Garden Insect Spray at a local gardening shop. I used spinosad for leafminers last year. It didn't seem to be all that effective, sadly. |
- Posted by bryanccfshr South Central Texas (My Page) on Mon, May 28, 07 at 22:37
Did you spray proactively or reactively? I have been spraying on schedule and haven't seen any leafminer damage this year on my peppers or Toms. By the time you see the trails on the leafs the damage is done. I don't want to brag about lack of caterpillars just yet, it may jinx me. |
Who, me? I started spraying after I saw it. Maybe it just takes a long time for it to kick in. After a while with Spinosad, I got ticked off and moved up to Sevin. That didn't make the problem go away, either. But the leafminers never got so bad for me that it affected the plant's health that I could see, so rather than go to the next step (ordering wasps), I just ignored it until it didn't seem to matter. This year I started to see leafminer trails just after I put my plants in the ground, around March 7. Since that first week or two, I haven't seen any sign of leafminers. There are people on here with longer experiences than mine that can give you better advice. That was just my little neophyte take on things. Not that impressed with it. |
- Posted by bryanccfshr S.A. Tx (My Page) on Tue, May 29, 07 at 12:20
What I was trying to communicate is that once you see the leaf miner damage they are usually gone. To prevent leafminer damage and or establishment of leav chewing insects you have to be proactive and spray the spinosad on the plant before you notice damage. Spraying leafminer damaged leaves does nothing becasue in most cases the leaf miners are gone by the time you notice the damage. I have been very happy with Spinosad products. They are not broad spectrum and have minimal effect on beneficials. When used in Fire ant bait it is quiete effective and as a spray I have so far been lucky not to have any pest problems this season, but it is anectdotal because I didn't sacrifice any plants as "controls" for a real scientific experience. |
- Posted by weedyanker 4 (My Page) on Sun, May 17, 09 at 23:13
Thanks for the information about buying spinosad at Lowes. I went to buy this online and the shipping was more than the product. Do you have any idea how much this costs at a retailer like Lowes? A friend recommended this to me to stop codling moths from killing my apples. |

"I loved the way I could customize the border, my card looked like a cookie :) Great weight of the paper, I was scared it'd be to thin, but it's perfect! The people I've heard so far think it's a beautiful and original card :) I think this is our new card-site :)"
"Used this card for our daughters third birthday that we were having at a farm. So cute and perfect. The paper quality was excellent, and it is a super fun design. Showed up on our door step ahead of time. Definitely will use Tinyprints again!"
"I bought these invitations for my daughter's 2nd birthday. They are so cute and go perfectly with her barnyard animals theme!"
"I bought these invites for my daughter and nephew's 1st birthday party (they were born 9 days apart so we had a joint party). We wanted a gender neutral theme and we decided on the farm animals. I decided to check my favorite site, tiny prints, and came across these invites and loved them. The animals and the wording were silly and that is the tone I wanted to set. The fact we could add the personal touch of a photo of them on the back was a selling point. All of our responders commented on the invite and asked where they were from. Also, printing and delivery was QUICK. Much appreciated!"
"We chose this design for my daughter's second birthday party invitations as we wanted an invitation that wasn't too pink and girlie but was still cute and appropriate for such a young party and this design was perfect. Lots of people who have received the invitations have complimented me on them. We are in the UK and couldn't find designs as beautiful as the ones on Tiny Prints and the shipping was reasonable too."

Establishing a no-fly zone to protect Syrian rebels would require hundreds of U.S. aircraft at a cost of more than $1 billion per month, with no assurance that it would change the momentum in the civil war there, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said on Monday.
In a letter to two Senators, Gen. Martin Dempsey outlined the risks, costs and benefits of more aggressive U.S. military action as the Obama administration weighs the next steps in helping the opposition battling the forces of President Bashar al-Assad.
Senator Carl Levin, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, and Senator John McCain had pressed General Dempsey for his personal assessment before moving ahead with his nomination to another two-year term.
General Dempsey spelled out costs, ranging from millions to billions of dollars, for options ranging from training and arming vetted rebel groups, conducting limited strikes on Syria's air defences and creating a no-fly zone or buffer zone.
The military leader said that while these steps would help the opposition and pressure Mr. Assad's government, "we have learned from the past 10 years, however, that it is not enough to simply alter the balance of military power without careful consideration of what is necessary in order to preserve a functioning state".
Syrian rebels warn civilians
Activists say an al-Qaeda-linked group has warned civilians not to use a road linking central Syria with the northern province of Aleppo, declaring it a military zone.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Aleppo Media Centre said Tuesday that Jabhat al-Nusra, or the Nusra Front, is threatening to target any vehicle using the road starting Wednesday. A copy of the warning was posted online.
Activists have reported heavy fighting near the road, which links the central province of Hama with the embattled city of Aleppo.
The regime uses the route to ferry supplies to its forces in the north because the rebels already have severed the main north-south highway that connects Damascus with Aleppo.

Latest Adramelch News
Below is our complete Adramelch news coverage, including columns and articles pertaining to the band. Some articles listed may be indirectly related, such as side projects of the band members, etc.
Adramelch Posts "Lights From Oblivion" Teaser
Italian power/progressive metal act Adramelch, featuring Time Machine drummer Sigfrido Percich, recently signed a deal with Pure Prog Records/Pure Steel Records for the release of the "Lights From Oblivion" album. You can now check out a trailer for the album in the player available below. Pure Prog Records also commented:
"With their new album Adramelch did not take the easy path by copying themselves, but developed their style with a great sense of phantasy, which gives them any possibilities for the future to come. With 'Lights From Oblivion' they will inspire their present fans as well as reaching new listeners, that were not used to the band before. This comes because Adramelch prove in 2012 once again, that they are one of these precious phenomena, that music history very rarely bears!"
Adramelch Signs With Pure Prog/Pure Steel Records
Italian power/progressive metal act Adramelch, featuring Time Machine drummer Sigfrido Percich, has signed a worldwide recording deal with Pure Prog Records/Pure Steel Records. The band's forthcoming third release "Lights From Oblivion" will be released on April 27, 2012 through the label.
Adramelch was founded in 1986 and went on a long hiatus after the 1988 debut release "Irae Melanox." In 2005, the band resurfaced and issued the sophomore album "Broken History" through Underground Symphony Records.
The band commented on the signing:
Thanks to PURE PROG / PURE STEEL we are given the opportunity to spread around, once again, our metal prog rock. We are really excited to be back after some years in partnership with such a label that deeply believes in our believes! Hear it all, Hear it loud!"
Pure Steel's Andreas Lorenz commented:
Adramelch for me has always been one of the leading cult bands in the whole music scene. It's a long time, but now they are back again! A dream comes true, a new album is ready AND we have the honour to release "Lights From Oblivion"! As I heard the rough mixes it was clear that the band has found again the way to be ahead, this time in a different way. Adramelch's new material shows a more mature band, knowing 150% what they do. "Lights From Oblivion" has a unique beauty, each song is perfectly defined and arranged, and each song is a little masterpiece full of feeling.
"Lights From Oblivion" will be the first release for sub label Pure Prog Records. More...

Drones accelerate surveillance debate
Is it fair for activists to use drones to film farms from above if stopping animal cruelty is their motivation?
This question is now on the agenda after animal liberation activists used a drone earlier this year to legally spy on a NSW egg farm.
Activists are warning livestock producers they can expect to be monitored from the air more and more, as they enlist helicopter drones to monitor animal welfare.
Maybe you think stopping animal abuse is a noble goal. But how would you feel if you were being watched from above while at work?
West Australian Liberal Senator Dr Chris Back, who is also a vet, is worried about the influence of surveillance footage on the animal welfare debate.
'You're starting to find people who have little experience and knowledge of what the issues are associated with animal health and animal husbandry grabbing hold of the agenda.'
'I don't think this is useful for the wider community.'
'It's a concern that people without experience are starting to take upon themselves some of the sort of surveillance that should rest with the appropriate welfare officers.'
Under the constitution, matters of animal welfare are the jurisdiction of the states and territories.
Senator Back wants more restrictions on activists with cameras.
'I have been looking at what the different options are and seeing if I can develop a view of what is the best form of management.'
'If such a device was going to cause animals to be upset and cause them to move around in a way that would put them at risk, and humans handling them at risk, I would be enormously concerned.'
He says one of his biggest priorities will be to make it compulsory for any evidence of animal cruelty to be handed to authorities immediately.
'If somebody became aware of injury or molestation to a child, or group of people, it would be totally unacceptable to the Australian community if the person who had that footage failed to make it available to responsible authorities.'
There has been huge resistance to laws in the United States concerning the collection and distribution of evidence of animal cruelty.
Of the 20 bills introduced since 2011, only three have been enacted into law.
Dubbed 'ag-gag laws' the biggest criticism is that they restrict freedom of speech.
Jed Goodfellow, a lawyer, lecturer at Macquarie University and former prosecutor and inspector for the RSPCA, says if Australia takes its cues from the US, there are likely to be more drones in the air.
'If similar legislation is introduced in Australia, it's going to be counter productive for the livestock industry.'
'It will generate further scrutiny and probably provide further social legitimacy to the actions of animal activists conducting surveillance, if the industry is seen to be to be closing its doors.'
'Senator Back seems to think that anyone who's not physically involved in farming doesn't know anything about it or that their concerns aren't relevant.'
'Taking that attitude isn't going to be conducive to good relations between livestock industries and the broader Australian community.'

I think the general rule, for a balanced Democracy, is that *institutions* and *organisations* require *transparency*. Individuals, however, do not.
The more powerful the institution or organisation, the more transparent it should be required to be.
The use of drones (or other invasive actions) is merely symptomatic of how opaque our institutions have become. Particularly government and corporations.
Use of drones to surveil individuals, however, is symptomatic of something else. Individuals, who have little power, should not be required to be transparent as well.
I think use of drones goes to this "transparency" issue in our society. The public *needs* information on companies and government in order for democracy to function. Organisations just want information on us to make money. Which is more important? -

If animals weren't routinely abused in factory farms we wouldn't need this but as long as people treat animals raised for food in the inhumane way which they are often regarded then caring people will need to gather evidence to prosecute abuses. There should also be installed CCTV cameras in all slaughterhouses .

"Delicious muffins. I made a few substitutes: instead of oil, I used 1/2 coconut oil, 1/2 applesauce in the same amount, and instead of all purpose flour, I used Shaklee Soy protein to increase the overall protein content. I did not have any pumpkin seeds, so I put a sprinkle of old fashioned oats and slivered almonds on top. Yummy and heal""

I've had this cheap plastic birdbath for years now and a few days ago decided to give it some life. In the heat of the moment I bought stone textured spray paint and made it look much better. But after more research, which I should have done in the first place, I found that petroleum based spray paints can harm birds. Is there anyway I can put a clear non-toxic sealer in the bowl or is the only choice to strip it back down to the plastic? |

How about setting another low bowl in side of it and putting the water in that.? Clear glass would look pretty or even saucer of a plant pot. I'm pretty sure there are sealers that don't harm birds, but I don't know. Kathy |

Hypertufa leaves used as bird baths are sometimes sprayed with paint but then coated with clear acrylic. I hope the acrylic spray is enough to protect the birds because I have made 3 of them. |

IBM Vt layoffs estimated at more than 300July 04,2013IBMs layoffs put
at more than 300
MONTPELIER The states labor commissioner estimated that IBM laid off more than 300 Vermont workers in its recent round of job cuts, but a firmer total should be known by the end of next week.
Annie Noonan said IBM is required to notify the Labor Department within 24 hours of job separations becoming final, which is set to happen July 12.
She said by then the state should have a reliable figure of the total job cuts made public last month.
IBM has a policy of not releasing layoff totals.
Noonan said her estimate of about 310 layoffs is based on the number of IBM employees who have been showing up at state-run seminars on seeking new work.MORE IN Vermont NewsLong-time city employee casualty of Barre budget process Full StoryMONTPELIER A new legislative report says the livable wage needed to make it in Vermont...

We're going to be in Charleston for a few days next month. Is there a possibility of getting together with some CF'ers for lunch or dinner on May 18th or 19th? We're actually staying in Mt. Pleasant but can meet there or in Charleston. Parking is MUCH easier in Mt. Pleasant and pretty good choices of restaurants, I think.

'Want a Loan? What's Your Race?'
Current law prohibits financial institutions from collecting such data, but a proposed federal regulation will allow loan officers to ask about and record color, national origin, and sex.
The Justice Department has strongly urged collecting this information to aid in fair lending prosecutions, and some banks have said that it could be used in marketing and outreach programs. That's a prospect that horrifies some privacy advocates and Republican legislators, who are demanding that the Federal Reserve Board reconsider its plan.
"When seeking credit approval from a bank, the general public understands that the bank will ask for certain background information," House Majority Leader Dick Armey wrote in a letter to Fed chairman Alan Greenspan. "However, people usually expect to provide only pertinent information about their finances. A person's race or religion has nothing to do with his or her credit-worthiness."
Armey said that there's no reason to permit banks to collect information about how people "worship God," and urged Greenspan to nix the plan.
In a two-paragraph reply sent last week, Greenspan replied that the Fed "will give careful consideration to the concerns you discuss in your letter when we take final action."
Federal Reserve officials stress that banks must tell the public that divulging data is voluntary, and that banks may not use it in deciding whether or not to grant a loan. "Applicants may not be required to provide information about their race, color, religion, national origin, or sex," the proposed regulation says.
Another GOP concern is that plaintiffs' lawyers will use the data to create a "litigation explosion."
In a document distributed at a recent gathering of conservative groups, former Federal Reserve governor Larry Lindsey wrote, "Once such data is collected, any variety of suits can be brought if the characteristics of the loan portfolio and some definition of the bank's potential customer base don't match up. This will be particularly true in business lending where, traditionally, the Fed has held that businesses don't have races or genders."
