Chevrolet Spark EV Performance
Reviewers say the 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV's zippy acceleration and agile handling make it a fun car for tooling around the city. Its ride is quieter and more composed than rival electric cars, they add. Some critics note that the regenerative brakes feel numb and it takes a very firm push of the pedal to slow the Spark EV. Several auto writers say that the long charging time and limited range could be a major drawback for some drivers.
- "Apart from these practical considerations, the electric Spark is in many measures a better-performing car than its gasoline counterpart. The Spark EV accelerates more quickly and effortlessly handles the pace of urban traffic. As we noted in our 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV rating, this is easily the best-driving EV in this price range." -- Edmunds
- "Though we were impressed with the Spark EV, just what we found impressive came as a surprise: It's not a rocketship, despite its 400 lb-ft. of instant torque. Yet it's vastly smoother and more refined than EVs that have come before." -- Left Lane News
- "The Spark EV's electric powerplant also gives the car a refined feel, as the EV model feels more substantial and better built than the standard, gas-powered Spark. Thanks to the electric motor, it's quieter and smoother, too." -- AutoTrader
- "The Spark EV will, not surprisingly, destroy a gas-powered Spark in a straight line. That's where it seems like an SS." -- Motor Trend
Acceleration and Power
The 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV has an electric motor that produces 140 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. It has a single-speed transmission. The Spark EV gets an EPA-estimated 128/109 mpg-equivalent, which is slightly better than that of the Nissan Leaf and Ford Focus Electric. On a full battery, the Spark EV can go about 82 miles, which is on par with rival electric cars.
Test drivers say the Chevrolet Spark EV is a capable city runabout and is notably peppier off the line compared to its gas-only rivals, thanks to its electric motor, which generates lots of torque, even more than sports cars like the Ferrari 458.
- "Right out of the gate, the Spark EV feels fast -- especially from a dead stop -- thanks to its 400 lb-ft of torque. It may not look the part, but the Spark EV really pushes you back in your seat when you push down on the accelerator." -- AutoTrader
- "Compared to the gasoline-powered Spark (or any other conventional subcompact car), the 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV accelerates quite briskly. Cut-and-thrust maneuvers through suburban traffic are no problem at all, given the car's immense low-end torque." -- Edmunds
- "As we saw in its recent commercial, Chevy is enjoying the fact that the Spark EV puts out more torque than a Ferrari 458 Italia, but more than just a marketing gimmick, this abundance of torque makes the EV surprisingly quick and fun to drive. In fact, the bounty of torque was enough to get the low-rolling-resistance Bridgestone tires to chirp on a couple occasions." -- Autoblog
- "Goose it at around 20 mph, though, and you'll get a brief glimpse at that sea of torque beneath the hood, as it'll rip your head back a bit. The Spark EV is definitely the quickest of its competitors - but not substantially so. It'll never leave you breathless." -- Left Lane News
Alternative Fuels/Charging
Chevrolet says the Spark EV's lithium-ion battery recharges in about 20 hours when plugged into a standard 120-volt outlet and in seven hours using a 240-volt outlet. The Spark EV is also available with a fast charger that Chevrolet says will charge the battery to 80 percent capacity in about 20 minutes. Drivers can monitor the battery level and estimated range in real time on the gauges and adjust their driving style to maximize battery life.
- "Still, the main knock against the electric Chevy Spark is its lengthy recharging time." -- Edmunds
- "Given access to the new SAE charger, I suspect many commuters could make the Spark EV work, but for others the range just isn't there." -- Motor Trend
- "According to EPA, the Spark EV also returns 82 miles of range -- though we think it can do even better if you drive conservatively." -- AutoTrader
- "We started the day with a full charge, with the confidence gauge showing a range between 75 and 90 miles. Throughout the day, this gauge proved to be a useful tool, as it accurately showed the expected available range based on driving style and surrounding road conditions." -- Autoblog
Handling and Braking
Most reviewers say the Chevrolet Spark EV feels steady around curves and is fun to drive. Steering is accurate, they say, though not very communicative. The ride is generally smooth and composed, test drivers add. Test drivers also note that it's extremely easy to maneuver and park in small spaces. Some critics take issue with the regenerative brakes, saying that you have to press down quite hard on the pedal to get any response from the brakes.
- "The electric power steering responds quickly, even if its light effort guarantees there isn't much in the way of feedback. The Spark EV feels nicely planted when going around turns, and unusual for a car with such a small footprint, it has a relatively composed highway ride with minimal choppiness over seams and ruts." -- Edmunds
- "The Spark EV is quick out of the hole, and it's the easiest thing this side of a motorcycle to place in tight gaps in traffic. Parking usually isn't an issue either, given its diminutive size." -- Motor Trend
- "The regenerative braking is not as grabby as that of some systems, which is nice, but the pedal pressure required to achieve the desired rate of deceleration is too high, and the driver has to keep a firm foot on the brake at stoplights to keep the car from creeping forward." -- Popular Mechanics
- "Instead, it shines brightest during cruising and cornering. Delightfully smooth, the Spark EV benefits from engineering work to the drivetrain, which dials in positive or negative torque as needed. The result is a degree of refinement we haven't seen before in an EV." -- Left Lane News
- "Recalibrated springs, dampers, and suspension components strive to make good on Chevy's promise that the Spark EV is 'fun to drive,' and they mostly succeed-the handling felt pleasantly balanced and responsive on Portland's curving parkway roads, the steering a little sharper than in the gas model, if still lacking in feel. Grip might be a concern." -- Car and Driver

• Office: State representative, District 9
• Age: 26
• Employer and Position: Founder/president, CM Concordia Consulting
• Education: Bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Arizona
• Political Experience: Ran for Arizona House of Representatives, 2010; Pima County Democratic Party executive committee; state and precinct Democratic committeeman
• Top priority: Create quality jobs, restore cuts to education and training programs, and invest in state infrastructure.
How would you use your position as an elected official to help businesses create jobs in Southern Arizona?
Helping businesses create jobs will be a top priority for me should I be elected to the Arizona House of Representatives. I will work to ensure that the legislature passes policies that encourage the growth of 21st century jobs right here in Southern Arizona. We have tremendous potential in renewable energy industries such as solar and wind, the biotech industry, engineering, optics, and we must capitalize on these opportunities while we can. We should promote quality jobs, increase access to capital for startups, and invest in our education system to ensure our young people are prepared for the jobs of tomorrow.
Should the qualifications for Medicaid or AHCCCS be broadened to make more people eligible?
Yes. I believe the cuts to AHCCCS were the wrong thing to do in a struggling economy where people are already having difficulty keeping jobs and quality healthcare. Everyone should have access to quality, affordable healthcare, and our state was wrong in turning away the federal matching funds that provided for the expanded AHCCCS coverage that existed because of a voter mandate. Those funds kept Arizonans healthy and created thousands of jobs. We need them back.
If you were in a position to vote on SB1070, would you have voted for or against it?
I would have voted against SB1070, because it did nothing to secure our border, cost our state much needed jobs and revenues, and blackened the eye of the state I love. We need comprehensive immigration reform and to address the real problems on the border - drug, weapons, and money trafficking. SB1070 did nothing about any of those problems, and has only hurt our communities.
In a world of finite resources, what if anything would you be willing to cut to better fund education?
I would be willing to cut the billions of dollars in tax giveaways currently riddling our tax code. Arizona's tax code is like swiss cheese - some people and businesses pay, and others don't. We need to eliminate the sweetheart deals for special interests in our tax code and ensure that everyone is paying their fair share. That would provide us with more than enough revenue to appropriately fund education.
Should local government fight to keep the Rosemont Copper Mine out or encourage the company to stay?
I think we need to focus on the jobs of tomorrow - high-tech, high-wage jobs that will have a lasting positive impact on our communities and Arizona's overall economy. I am not in favor of the proposed Rosemont Copper Mine, as they have not shown that they can operate without endangering our cherished lands, water, and air. We live in a unique environment, and I want to protect that asset for future generations. Local officials are elected to represent the will of the people, and I believe they are voicing our community's concerns about the negative impacts of this project.
What is the most important issue in your race?
The most important issue in my race is getting our economy back on track and putting people back to work. As a small business owner and the former chief executive of a statewide nonprofit, I know what it takes to create and save jobs in a struggling economy. That's experience that matters. To move Arizona forward, we must promote 21st century jobs, invest in education, and focus on the priorities of our communities instead of engaging in the partisan extremism going on up at the capitol today.

ALLAHABAD: Mayor Abhilasha Gupta on Tuesday held a meeting with the officials of Allahabad Municipal Corpation, Jal Kal, environment, health and sanitary inspectors on the prevailing poor civic conditions in the city. The mayor told the officials to take measures to address civic problems and ensure cleanliness around religious places.
Mayor also asked the officials of Jal Sansthan to cover the open manholes and ensure that contaminated water is not supplied in homes.
Meanwhile, members of the UP Congress Committee on Tuesday expressed displeasure over the bad condition of roads in the city. Congress leader Mukund Tiwari alleged that poor conditions of roads, water logging and non-cleaning of drains have made lives of citizens miserable. He added many streets have been damaged due to laying of water and sewage lines.
Congress leaders said sewage water enters houses after every rain with officials not paying heed to people's complaints.
Meanwhile, hundreds of traders under the banner of Mundera Vyapaar Mandal on Tuesday blocked the Kanpur- Allahabad road, GT road to protest against bad roads in the city.
They were carrying posters and placards asking authorities to start road repair work or face a series of protests.
Traders said due to laying of sewage and water pipelines, the traffic movement was adversely affected on GT Road for past several months. They added that neither district administration nor civic bodies are doing anything to address the problems.
Later, police pacified the traders and got the highway cleared. But, traders threatened to stage protests again if their demand were not met. Mandal president Dhananjay Singh appealed to district authorities to address civic problems.

Love 'em.
I mostly went with these over any other because the White/Black/Red/Blue ones match my board perfectly, and I'm glad I did. I've worn them with and without liners, and they're fairly warm, hella grippy on grabs, and built pretty well. I recommend them.

Comments about BUNN-O-Matic VPS Pourover Coffee Brewer, 3 Warmers:
We have had a VPS brewer for ten years with good service. Original unit was much easier to pour in water than the new one with restricted plastic orifice. It would be really great if they could put some sort of indication when coffee was brewing and when coffee was ready. We have occasional accidents when people pull out carafe when coffee is still brewing because it is difficult to tell.
Comments about BUNN-O-Matic VPS Pourover Coffee Brewer, 3 Warmers:
Really wish the water opening was larger, it is hard to fill without spilling some over top or side of coffee maker. Other than that, it works well for our purposes.

Sure it has... just not for a very, very long time. I think we would get there eventually, but not any time soon.
And if you think about it, if this bill is passed into law, it would be a good start toward that goal. If one state who normally wouldn't allow "shall issue" permitting (I'm looking at you California) suddenly has to allow any other state permittee to carry, it has a very good chance of moving toward that. Once more and more of these states move to "shall issue", then there starts to be less and less point to having a permit at all.
Sure, I would prefer SCOTUS to take care of things. It would really be simple for them to declare that in order to conform with the 2nd Amendment, you either need a shall-issue permit, or allow carry without a permit. And of course, my beloved Article 4, Section 1 could apply (in the same ruling) , because after all, the 2nd Amendment applies to the citizens of every state.

It's a trend called a "naked cake". One of the ditzy actresses did it a few years back and it's generated a lot of copy cats.
I guess, for some, they see it as a way to save money, and for others, it's a way to save their guests from the evils of too much sugar & fat.
My personal impression is that they look sloppy, unfinished, dry (even if, after sitting out like that for hours, they're not), and unappetizing, but, of course, to each their own. Based on my personal feelings about having my name attached to such a cake, I would decline to do it.

Source of Innovation: The Story of Ingredients
By: Sara Mason
Posted: July 31, 2014, from the August 2014 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
Buriti fruit
page 2 of 8
Specifically, Kilham notes that he is constantly on the lookout for bioactive ingredients or plants that have oils with physical properties that are at least consistent with those required by beauty companies for their development. "There is a constant and seemingly unceasing appetite in the cosmetic industry for oils," he says. "[It is] even better that, if in addition to having the basic physical qualities, [the oil] also demonstrates some sort of activity above and beyond what is required for a good cream or lotion base."
In his travels, Kilham observed many fruit trees, with the ungurahui being one of them, and he was once given a drink made from the fruit. It was very rich, really creamy, he says, due to the presence of oils. "The aroma was pleasant, and the question occurred to me, 'Why are these oils not in the market?'" So, he brought some back to Naturex, which conducted research to find out potential uses. The company discovered ungurahui oil is useful from a functional standpoint in terms of basic physical properties, and ungurahui oil from the fruit pulp also has a nice composition of omega oils and lipid content, as well as anti-inflammatory activity, making it beneficial for sensitive skin.
"It basically came about from my knocking around in the Peruvian Amazon," Kilham shares, and Naturex allows him to go all over the world and investigate what he wants, because looking around is part of the job. "Sometimes we don't actually act on it for years," Kilham says. "But for us, it is essential for now and for the future."
A companion oil with biologically active functional properties, buriti, is from the same region. Kilham was first exposed to buriti fruit in 1997 when he lived in the Amazon for about a month. "In the markets of Peru and Brazil, you see buriti everywhere; it is very common—but at the time, nobody was doing anything with it," he says. Now, it's part of the company's Nat Oleis botanical range.
Being in the field, Kilham can evaluate certain parameters of sourcing, from the environment to the native people, to ensure the exchange is benefitting both. In terms of informed consent, the indigenous populace want to sell the fruit, because they are plants of commerce anyway, according to Kilham and, by selling the fruit to a supplier, they also get a better price than if they were just selling them at an open market. In addition, women participate greatly in the activities around the harvesting of these plants. "This is good news because there are cultures where women are cut out of the income stream, and that puts them at a tremendous economic and cultural social disadvantage," Kilham says. There also is no damage to the environment because the fruit is abundant and, if they aren't picked, they would just fall to the ground and rot.

The Himalayan Cataract Project (HCP) has been busy in the recent months in the Himalayas.
HCP Co-Founder Dr. Sanduk Ruit and an outreach team from Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology, HCP's flagship partner in Nepal, provided sight restoring cataract surgery in September at the Leh Hospital in Ladakh, India. Ladakh — "land of high passes" — is a mountainous region of India and is one of the most sparsely populated regions in the state. This was a second visit by Dr. Ruit and his team, who provided 208 surgeries to patients. To read more about Dr. Ruit's first visit, please visit this link.
Just a month earlier, Dr. Ruit and his team held an outreach event in Yangon, Myanmar. Dr. Ruit's team worked with local eye care professionals, and together they provided 445 surgeries. The team held an additional outreach event in the town of Myeik, where 225 surgeries were provided.
In Nepal, the Hetauda Community Eye Hospital (HCEH), one of Tilganga's 12 eye care centers, conducted a screening workshop for more than 500 prisoners at the Bhimpedi Jail. Seven patients were referred for surgery and 25 pairs of glasses were prescribed and provided.
TweetFormer Himalayan Cataract Project trainee, Dr. Dechen Wangmo, Bhutan's first and only pediatric ophthalmologist, is taking advantage of the constellation vitrectomy machine purchased for Dr. Bhim Rai's retinal practice to facilitate cataract surgery for a five month old boy with congenital cataracts. Dr. Rai is also a former HCP trainee.
"It really made a difference in the post op compared to the old machine we had. The parents are very happy and grateful to HCP and the department. I had explained to them about how you all have helped us and how it has translated into better patient care and outcomes." —Dr. Dechen Wangmo
The training and equipment that HCP provides to doctors, like Drs. Wangmo and Rai, is crucial in developing a sustainable health care system that functions effectively over the long-term with minimal external involvement.
In outreach news, the Hetauda Community Eye Hospital (HCEH) in Nepal conducted an eye screening workshop for more than 500 prisoners at Bhimphedi Jail outside of Hetauda, referring seven cataract patients for surgery and prescribing 35 pairs of glasses - 12 pairs purchased immediately. HCEH is upgrading its community screening programs to include refraction, and providing glasses instantly.
While the number of cataract cases has been reduced in the region, cases of refractive error have increased. Eyeglasses provide low-cost, effective help with refractive error; and the proceeds from sales of eyeglasses help to offset the costs associated with free patient care for all eye ailments.
Also in Nepal, the newly-constructed Phaplu Community Eye Center opened in June, 2014. Since 2003, it has provided eye care to more than 30,000. In the first half of 2014, Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology (HCP's partner in Nepal), with HCP support, conducted seven Outreach Microsurgical Eye Clinics (OMECS) in Nepal and one in India, providing 1,811 cataract surgeries.
The Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology, HCP's legacy partner in Nepal, recently organized an Outreach Microsurgical Eye Clinic (OMEC) in the Upper Mustang region of Nepal, one of the world's most remote places. Upper Mustang is hidden in the shadows of the Himalayas and for centuries was isolated from the rest of Nepal. Tilganga began working in this region in 2009.
During this most recent campaign, sight was restored to an elderly woman who had been blind for eight years and trekked to the campaign on horseback, accompanied by her 21-year-old grandson. Following bilateral surgery, the patient could see her grandson's face, and proudly walked back to her home.
Another outreach event was held In early April by the Phaplu Community Eye Center (CEC), in the Solukumbo region of Nepal. 1,498 patients were examined and 80 cataract surgeries were provided. Run by a five-person staff, the Phaplu CEC is overseen by Tilganga and realized a 6% increase in patient care in 2013. The Himalayan Cataract Project is supporting the construction of the two-story, six-room community eye center, with help from the Nancy Allison Perkins Foundation, as the original Phaplu CEC had outgrown its facility. Construction is expected to be completed by June 2014.
TweetHimalayan Cataract Project International Fellow Dr. Ben Thomas participated in an outreach event in a small town in the Dhading district of Nepal. Dr. Thomas worked alongside Dr. Anu Manandhar (former HCP fellow) of the Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology, and performed 30 surgeries. The outreach was sponsored by Tilganga and the Fred Hollows Foundation and held at a local school; surgeries and follow-up care were all performed within classrooms.
Outreach teams often reach inaccessible areas by foot and more often than not arrive to communities with no electricity and minimal sanitation and potable water. Within a matter of hours, the team can turn a dusty schoolhouse, or whatever building is available, into an equivalent medical ward where sight-restoring surgery is carried out to comparable standards found in the developed world.
Even in remote areas, the consistent goal of the team is to provide the highest quality eye care to as many people as possible and perform as many surgeries as possible. The eye camp ophthalmologists seek to treat everyone they can with a treatable eye disease.
TweetIn early September, the Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology outreach team, from Kathmandu, Nepal, with support from HCP and others, organized a microsurgical outreach clinic in Ladakh, India.
Four pre-surgery screenings were held, where over 1,370 patients were screened for cataracts. Local monks and organizations assisted with the screening process.
The outreach event provided over 180 successful cataract operations to patients came from five different regions in the Jammu/Kashimir region of mountainous India. Anitbiotic eye drops and bandages were provided to the patients post surgery and patients and family members were counseled on the care of the eyes. A mass eye health education program was also held on the day of patient discharge to ensure post-operative care.

An Architecture of Immanence: Architecture for Worship and Ministry Today
Product Description
Torgerson begins by discussing God's transcendence and immanence and showing how church architecture has traditionally interpreted these key concepts. He then traces the theological roots of immanence's priority from liberal theology and liturgical innovation to modern architecture. Next, Torgerson illustrates this new architecture of immanence through particular practitioners, focusing especially on the work of theologically savvy architect Edward Anders Sovik. Finally, he addresses the future of church architecture as congregations are buffeted by the twin forces of liturgical change and postmodernism.
An Architecture of Immanence will interest architects, liturgists, and all Christians who seek to read the sacred spaces of the recent past.
The Calvin Institute of Christian Worship Liturgical Studies series is designed to promote reflection on the history, theology, and practice of Christian worship and to stimulate worship renewal in Christian congregations. Written by pastoral worship leaders from diverse communities and scholars from a range of disciplines, these volumes seek to nurture worship practices that are at once spiritually vital and theologically rooted.
Mark A. Torgerson is associate professor of worship arts at Judson College, Elgin, Illinois. An ordained minister in the Evangelical Covenant Church, he has a lifelong interest in the concept of sacred space.

Cyberbullying and Youth: What are we really talking about?
With unprecedented access to technology, young people today are carrying the internet in their pockets and communicating with their peers more than ever before. But what happens when their behaviour turns negative and schoolyard bullying moves online? Educators report that cyberbullying is as big an issue as smoking and drugs among youth today. Anonymity and peer pressure can fuel negative online behaviour with severe and often tragic consequences. But where does this behaviour start? What are the various forms and consequences of cyberbullying? Most importantly, what are we supposed to do about it?
Join YWCA Metro Vancouver and Hootsuite for an interactive panel discussion with a group of experts, who will answer these questions. In honour of Pink Shirt Day, we will explore themes surrounding cyberbullying and discuss solutions for parents, teachers, youth workers and peers to help mitigate the harmful impacts cyberbullying has on youth today.

"Resting on your laurels" at the expense of making progress can be tempting, Bryan Chapell observes in a new roundtable video with Paul Tripp and Russell Moore. "It's easy to keep returning to the familiar rather than pressing on in personal growth and understanding." According to Moore, another trap is viewing the younger generation as a threat. Bitterness and undue criticism of younger pastors, he suggests, are often rooted in a nostalgic view of the past that's simply unrealistic.
Additionally, veteran preachers must beware of overfamiliarity, of losing their awe. "The more you see something, the less you really see it," Tripp explains. "And the more you're around something, the less you really celebrate it." No less dangerous, he adds, is the sense of "arrival" that can emerge in which "knowledge, skill, and experience begin to define maturity in your eyes."
Watch the full seven-minute video to see these experienced preachers discuss weariness, numbness, Messiah complexes, and more.

A gauge of U.S. company credit risk rose as jobless claims fell to the lowest point in seven years. The cost to protect the debt of Dell Inc. (DELL:US) fell.
The Markit CDX North American Investment Grade Index, a credit-default swaps benchmark that investors use to hedge against losses or to speculate on creditworthiness, rose 0.6 basis points to a mid-price of 76.6 basis points as of 11:07 a.m. in New York, according to prices compiled by Bloomberg. The measure typically climbs as investor confidence deteriorates and falls as it improves.
Investors are assessing the strength of the economy before the Federal Open Market Committee meets next week to determine whether to begin reducing $85 billion of monthly bond purchases meant to stimulate growth. Data released today showed first-time claims for unemployment insurance fell by 31,000 to 292,000, below the median forecast of 330,000 applications from a Bloomberg survey. A Labor Department spokesman said most of the decrease reflected computer-system changes in two states.
"People are going to start looking for ways to explain away unemployment numbers, but this will alter the Fed, and I think the Fed will taper at the end of the day," Andrew Brenner, the head of international fixed income for National Alliance Capital Markets, said in a telephone interview.
Credit swaps pay the buyer face value if a borrower fails to meet its obligations, less the value of the defaulted debt. A basis point equals $1,000 annually on a contract protecting $10 million of debt.
Dell Buyout
Dell's credit risk fell after shareholders approved a $24.9 billion buyout plan led by Chief Executive Officer Michael Dell.
Five-year credit swaps tied to the debt of Dell fell 18.5 basis points to 410.5 basis points as of 10:35 a.m. in New York, according to data provider CMA, which is owned by McGraw-Hill Financial Inc. and compiles prices quoted by dealers in the privately negotiated market.
This week, Standard & Poor's lowered Dell's corporate credit rating to BB-, a junk grade, from BBB.
The risk premium on the Markit CDX North American High Yield Index, a credit-swaps benchmark tied to speculative-grade bonds, rose 2 basis points to 368.6, Bloomberg prices show.
The average extra yield investors demand to hold dollar-denominated, investment-grade corporate bonds rather than similar-maturity Treasuries tightened 0.8 basis point to 132.4 basis points, Bloomberg data show. The measure for speculative-grade, or junk-rated, debt narrowed 0.4 basis point to 598.6.
Investment-grade debt is rated Baa3 or higher at Moody's and at least BBB- by Standard & Poor's.

There is a difference between a Patriot and a "Patriopath".
A Patriot serves his Country and his Community, whether through service or support at the ballot box.
A Patriopath serves himself to feed his sense of self righteous indignation over the actions of those who actually serve but don't conform to the Patriopaths twisted view of Citizenship and it's inherent responsibilities. They tend to complain without contributing and criticize without constructive solutions. They tend to copy the words of great Patriots but act in a way that would appall and shame them.

Anyone know of any Massachusetts Nurseries that sell Pitch Pines (pinus rigida)? |

Sylvan Nursery in Westport, MA lists Pinus rigida in different sizes. Botanical Name Common Name Size Retail Price Claire |
Thanks Claire! I had been thinking in terms of smaller/cheaper plugs or bare root trees, but that is definitely a place I need to go this Spring. They also sell American Beach Grass, another thing I was looking for. |
There's also the various Massachusetts Conservation Districts where you can get small plant material that are well suited to our conditions. I haven't gotten plants from them but I've seen the Plymouth catalog in past years and they sold beach grass and other interesting plants. ...................................................................... ............................ "Massachusetts Conservation Districts hold tree and plant sales each spring. Offerings vary by District but may include: spruce, pine, birch, dogwood, sugar maple and other tree seedlings; ornamental grasses and ferns; ornamental shrubs; ground covers; potted perennials; and fruits, berries and perennial vegetables. All items are reasonably priced and well suited "Our Annual Tree, Shrub & Plant Sale brochure is now available online...take a look!" Unfortunately you apparently have to be on Facebook to access this page, at least I haven't found a non-Facebook (Face-less?) link. Claire |
I just got the flyer in the mail for the middlesex conservation district spring plant sale. I didn't see pitch pines, but there are other conifers and shrubs. |

Very skilled and highly effective. Got my case dismissed. So happy I chose him.
Would not recommend this lawyer, he did not return phone calls at all, was at least 45 minutes late to all my court meetings. It was very hard to get a hold of him.
Thanks so much Johnny. You know your stuff and are totally the man in court. You got me out of it and for that I will always be grateful.
Got mr out of my DUI. Thanx John.
I have been using this attorney off and on since 1995 for a wide array of personal and business matters. He has drafted documents for me and represented me in court. His work has been consistenly timely and of the highest quality. In court, he has yet to obtain a less than favorable result.

To those that wear mens medium shirts I have a question. With the new blank and the shrinking problem I was thinking about switching to ML. Has anyone made the switch in sizing with good results? My shirts are becoming short and a little tight in the shoulders.
You pretty much have to go up two sizes to combat the shrinkage in length. Dryer dried, the Anvil ML compares to an AA MS in length. Line dried, they still end up shorter than my dryer-dried AA. I posted some comparisons here ... I'm sure I have other pics, but being it's 5:15am here and I should be asleep, I'm not looking for them now.
Thanks Narfcake for recommendation and the pictures help illustrate my concern. I didn't realize it would be such a big difference. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to make the jump to MXL at this point.

High fat with a mealy, rather than flaky, texture. It's a good frame for a pie, but nothing special.
i always get compliments on this crust, and i substitute it for every other pie recipe!
I have tries many pie crust recipes and this one stands out as the BEST. Easy to handle, tender and flaky.

Rob Kardashian Explains His 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' Therapy Meltdown, Says Rihanna is Just a 'Friend'
Rob Kardashian broke down on Sunday night's emotional episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians after a fight with big sister Kim Kardashian.
Tuesday morning, the reality star and aspiring entrepreneur called in to On Air With Ryan Seacrest to open up about his family therapy breakdown, his strained relationship with Kim -- and his rumored romance with popstar Rihanna.
What did Rob have to say?
"[Kim] brings out my negative energy," he told Ryan Seacrest. "When it comes to money and business, she thinks I tend to spend too much and I'm really stupid with my money."
During last week's episode, Rob felt Kim was negatively impacting his career by holding him back from pursuing a new business venture: Opening a DASH men's store in London.
"Kim is literally the most selfish person here," he said, at one point, in a heated fight with her. "All she cares about is herself."
However, the younger Kardashian admitted to Seacrest that sometimes his anger toward Kim can get out of hand. "Sometimes I say things I really don't mean in a heated argument, and I usually take it out on Kim. I've done that before."
He added, "I just feel like she's an easy target for me, and I know her. She's my sister. I know how to push her buttons."
Meanwhile, Seacrest also asked Rob about his recent go-kart outing with superstar Rihanna. "Rihanna's a friend," he said. "And she is friends with my friend Capricorn, and it was her birthday. Then we all went out to celebrate our friend's birthday. It was fun! It was a good night!"
Rob has also been linked to British songstress Rita Ora, but he replied that he's just a fan of her music. "I'm a big fan," he told Seacrest, before promising to bring her in to American Idol host's studio for a future interview.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians airs Sundays at 9 PM. In case you missed it, watch Rob's breakdown unfold below.

WILLISTON, N.D. — A Williston man accused of tying a noose around the necks of his ex-wife and son and pulling them behind an SUV has pleaded guilty to terrorizing and reckless endangerment.
Isaac Gould was accused of tying nooses around his family members' necks in July, 2013. At a court hearing Tuesday, Gould's defense attorney said he acknowledged the charges as described by prosecutors.
Gould pleaded guilty to charges involving his wife as part of a plea agreement that would drop the same charges of abusing his son. Judge David Nelson said he will review the results of a presentence investigation and decide whether to accept the agreement.
The terms of the deal call for Gould to be sentenced to serve eight years in prison, with credit for time already served.
Prosecutors described a July 24, 2013 incident in which Gould requested his son and ex-wife to come meet him. Once they arrived, Gould had his son retrieve two nooses from his own vehicle. Gould ordered his ex-wife and son to put the nooses on their necks, but they refused, prompting him to force the nooses on them.
He accused them both of being liars.
According to testimony by the ex-wife, as described in court by State's Attorney Marlyce Wilder, Gould told his son: "I'm not going to have you carry my last name and be a liar. I love you as a son, but I can't have you around if you're going to be a liar."
The prosecution says Gould then tied the other end of the nooses to the rear of his Suburban SUV. He told his ex-wife that the boy would likely die first because his was shorter and his neck would snap quicker.
He then ordered his ex-wife to tell the son what was about to happen. She told the son they were about to die.
Gould got back in his vehicle and began driving and the rope "tugged and tightened."
Gould's current wife, who was sitting inside the Suburban, eventually got out of the vehicle and untied the nooses. Gould informed his ex-wife and son that he would kill them if they spoke to the police.
Defense attorney Rhiannon Gorham said Gould could not recall specific statements but "agreed that in general that was a situation that occurred."
A string of complaints and affidavits show Gould had a history of violent behavior. They included dousing his brother's dog and floor with gasoline and threatening to burn the house down, kicking his son in the head, threatening to kill his ex-wife while wielding a knife and punching a fellow inmate while he was in jail after the noose incident.

Mount St. Helens' deadly eruption 33 years ago changed landscape
The blast killed 57 people.
In an instant - the eruption destroyed the top 1,300 feet of the mountain.
On Friday, climbers reflected on Mount St. Helens' transformation.
"When the weather turns bad and the conditions get ugly, we have a saying, well it'll be there next week," climber Joe Whittington said. "We know that's not always the case."
The mountain in southwest Washington may be the best known volcano in the state, but it's not the only one or the most dangerous.
The U. S. Geological Survey says Mount Rainier could be one of the deadliest volcanoes in the world because of its location near Tacoma and Seattle. Volcanic gases could rapidly melt snow and ice and generate a huge mudslide called a lahar that could flow through some populated areas.
Other volcanoes in Washington are Mount Baker in Whatcom County, Glacier Peak in Snohomish County and Mount Adams in Yakima County.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Forest Service and Mount Saint Helens Institute just unveiled a new Web site.
It includes a collection of information about the mountain - its eruption - and recovery.

cookiedog's Note:
This is a Northern Mexican recipe that is adapted from a recipe by Rick Bayless. This uses a chuck roast and is made in the crock pot. My DBF asks me to make this again and again. Serve it with rice, sour cream, beans, and warmed tortillas.
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 8 garlic cloves, unpeeled
- 1/4-1/3 cup ground dried ancho chile powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vinegar (cider vinegar is common in Mexico)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water for marinade (plus more for the slow cooker)
- 3 lbs bone-in chuck roast
- 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion, for garnish
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, for garnish
- 1 lime, cut into 6 wedges for serving
- 1Cut a slit in the side of each garlic clove. Place them in a microwaveable bowl, cover with plastic wrap, poke holes in the top and microwave for 30 seconds on high. Cool until handleable, then slip off the papery husks.
- 2One by one, drop the garlic cloves into a running food processor, letting each get thoroughly chopped before adding the next. Add the chile powder, cumin, black pepper, vinegar, salt and water and pulse to blend.
- 3Place the meat in a large crock pot. Scrape the marinade onto the meat, then spread it sloppily over the top and sides. Pour enough water into the slow-cooker to cover the lower 1/2 inch of roast. Cover and slow cook on high for 6 hours or until meat is tender. Carefully remove meat with a slotted spoon onto a large plate, pulling away the bones.
- 4Degrease the cooking broth and boil it down in a saucepan to concentrate the flavors. Ladle it over the meat and garnish with the onions and cilantro.

Saddlers will compete - Mattis
The 27-year-old feels the Saddlers are well equipped to hold their own when they go head-to-head with former Premier League clubs Leeds, Norwich, Southampton and Charlton next term. However, Mattis admits the club must make the Banks's Stadium a fortress to compete in the upper echelons of the table. Mattis told the Birmingham Mail: "This club can achieve things and the Championship is not beyond us. That is what we have to aim for next season. "All this small club stuff is rubbish. It is 11 vs 11 at the end of the day. "The Bescot is a tight stadium and if we can get more people in there and liven it up a bit, teams won't like going there. If we want to do anything next season then we have to make the Banks's a really hard place to come to."
