NavigationWe order the worms on Wednesday and they are delivered to the store on Friday. People that are interested in getting worms need to place an order before Wednesday so that they can ensure that worms are reserved for them. People should pick their worms up at the store over the next few days (Friday, Saturday or Sunday). The worms are sold in 1/2 pound lots (this is 1/2 pound of worms in a small bag of soil) and are sold for $52.00. A kit consists of a 53L Rubbermaid Roughtote with holes drilled out of the lid (for ventilation), 1/2 pound bag of worms, 50 litres of soil, a trowel and a marker. The kit is sold for $79.00. We offer the bins and soil separately so you can purchase components as you need them. Please contact us at 780-439-8725 to order the worms and/or worm composting kit. |
Winter Bike to Work Day FREE BreakfastWhew! 2015 is starting off with lots of events. Most people know that I love organic, community, and cycling. On February 13th we will be participating in the International Winter Bike to Work Day by hosting a FREE Pancake breakfast. The breakfast will include blueberry pancakes (flour mix provided by Gold Forest Grains - local organic grain grower), Fair Trade coffee and tea (the coffee is roasted fresh at our south side store), organic maple syrup, organic butter or vegan alternatives and lots of chatting with fellow Edmonton cyclists. Hot pancakes and coffee should be ready to be consumed by 7am on Friday, February 13. This is taking place at our downtown Organic Cafe (Earth's General Store, 10150 - 104th Street). Please sign up on the Facebook page. You can also register your ride on the Winter Bike to Work organisers page at winterbiketoworkday.org (and/or their Facebook page). This is a friendly 'competition' with cites around the world. I reckon Edmonton has enough winter cyclists to make us a contender to be well recognized as a winter cycling city. Let's put Edmonton on the Winter Cycling Map! Crickets - A Sustainable Source of Animal ProteinThere is much in the media these days about the negetative impact that our society's consumption/overconsumption of meat has on the planet, the earth's resources and our health. Meat, meat production, and meat consumption has a heavy food print. The resources that go into the raising of meat is greater than any other source of food our society consumes. We eat meat as a source of protein but there are many sources of protein. All plants have protein in them and some plant based sources have significant percentages of protein but these source may not be enough to meet the demand for more protein brought about by our ever increasing global population. One source of protein that is being explored as a more sustainable source of protein is to consume insects. They convert food into protein about 6 times more efficiently than cows do and use a significantly less water and other resources. Earth's General Store is Edmonton's first food store to offer certified organic crickets as a protein source. Our suppliers of these insects is Next Millennium Farms in Ontario. Check out their website for more information.

Most Prefer Missionary Sex, But Sex-Toy Lovers Crave Doggy-Style
By Kait Smith
More times than not, the missionary position gets a lot of flack for being a "boring" way to do the nasty. And we see what everyone means—it's the go-to sex style, the position you've likely been doing since you lost your virginity oh-so-long ago.
But apparently, not everyone agrees. In fact, most Americans prefer the comfort and face-to-face intimacy of missionary, according to the latest survey results from adult toy company Adam & Eve.
In a web-based poll of 1,000 American adults, 32 percent chose missionary as their preferred position. Rear-entry (ahem, doggy-style) and cowgirl (girl on top) were close behind, however, with 23 percent and 22 percent of the vote, respectively. Only 7 percent chose the 69 position, while 6 percent chose spooning and 4 percent liked reverse cowgirl. 9 Sex Positions That Enhance Emotional Intimacy
So while missionary is clearly the favorite, Americans are still pretty split in terms of how they like to get it on.
Unless, of course, you ask Adam & Eve's Facebook fans. Interestingly, results from the kinky company's fans were notably different. More than half (53 percent) preferred "rear-entry" (can we please just call it doggy-style lest it be confused with... something else?), followed by cowgirl (29 percent). The missionary position and reverse cowgirl each received only 6 percent of the votes. How To Have Anal Sex For The First Time
The sex experts at Adam & Eve say their customers are more adventurous than your average Joe, which makes sense. If you're buying sex swings and anal plugs, you're likely not as attached to gazing into your partner's eyes during penetration. ONE DAY Movie Contest: Tell A Love Story, Win Free Flicks & More

An inmate who broke out of a maximum security prison in northeast Colorado has been charged with escape, holding hostages and kidnapping.
The Denver Post reports that Douglas Alward was also charged Monday with being a habitual criminal, first-degree burglary and possession of a weapon by a previous offender.
Authorities say Alward escaped from the Sterling Correctional Facility Aug. 22 by grounding himself and crawling under an electric fence. He surrendered three days later at a home near Yuma, where he held a woman hostage for a few hours.
Alward was serving time for attempted murder, assault, kidnapping and burglary. Authorities say it was his fourth escape from a prison.

You can ice all those Great-One-to-New-York rumors. Wellplaced NHL sources report that the Coyotes and Wayne Gretzky have all but agreed in principle to a new, three-year contract extension — one that positions him to step out of the owner's suite and behind the coaching bench — with a formal announcement expected this week.
Next up, you can expect an extension for Rick Bowness — who will resume his former role as assistant. The second assistant spot, still expected to be former Coyote Rick Tocchet, likely won't be filled until the new collective bargaining agreement arrives from Mount Olympus.
But, if the NHL winds up with replacement players on the ice next January, a replacement Gretzky will also have to be found.
Miami media members are already sifting through conspiracy theories to determine who didn't want Shaquille O'Neal to win the NBA's MVP award, therefore pushing it toward Steve Nash by default.
Here's the deal: Some voters just don't warm to players who use the regular season as spring training. Shaq plays when he wants to play. Nash plays when they throw up the ball.
This is how it's going for George Steinbrenner this season: The Yankees win a series for only the third time all year — with a good pitching effort from Kevin Brown, no less — and he can't enjoy it.
Watching Bellamy Road fade in the stretch at the Kentucky Derby must have brought back memories from last October, when the Boss' baseball team stopped running two lengths from the finish line.
• Houston coach Jeff Van Gundy should stop apologizing to NBA commissioner David Stern and work up a good mea culpa for Rockets fans. Losing to the Mavericks after winning the first two games in Dallas — and getting bombed in Game 7 — is by far his biggest crime of the week.
• Watching the putrid Pittsburgh Pirates knock the Diamondbacks all over Bank One Ballpark this weekend hurts, but not as much as the realization that this team has flat stopped hitting.
This is not a good time for the artists formerly known as the Montreal Expos to hit town.
• Not that the Suns don't have enough to worry about with the Mavericks tonight, but did you catch San Antonio's act Sunday night? Toto, we're not in Memphis anymore.
• After getting his freezer door blown off in the Nathan's hot-dogeating contest last year, former Chicago Bear William "The Refrigerator'' Perry is back to take part in a cake-eating contest in New York on Tuesday. If he loses this one . . . check, please.
• The Pacers and Pistons open their Eastern Conference semifinal series tonight in Detroit. Bring . . . your . . . cameras!

Countdown: Our Last, Best Hope for a Future on Earth?
Jan 05, 2015
According to author, journalist, and professor Alan Weisman everyone "is addicted to energy and food," and more people equals resources stretched beyond capacity.

Roger-Mark De Souza on Linking Climate, Security and Development to Fragility in Haiti
Dec 12, 2014

Responding to Climate Change: Will New Warnings Lead to Action?
Nov 14, 2014
With every new report issued, increasingly dire warnings about present and future threats posed by a warming planet suggest a more vigorous response than has been seen to date. Political action has been slowed or stymied by ideological debates that have little to do with the world of science or realities on the ground. Such inaction raises questions about whether any sector of society is adequately responding to the challenge or if there is even time to do so. A new round of international meetings will soon begin. In anticipation of those efforts, and in response to recent reports, Roger-Mark De Souza provides insight into what to expect and describes issues that should be part of the agenda moving forward.
Preserving the Amazon: A Race Against Time
Nov 13, 2014

The "FAPESP-U.S. Collaborative Research on the Amazon" meeting was organized in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy and the Brazil Institute of the Wilson Center. One of the featured speakers was noted biodiversity expert, Tom Lovejoy. We spoke with him about the state of the Amazon and efforts to preserve its endangered ecosystem.
Could a U.S.-India Climate Deal Be Next?
Nov 12, 2014

Peace via H2O: Cooperation and a Most Critical Resource
Nov 10, 2014
Many fear that competition for fresh water will increasingly lead to conflict as the world's most essential resource becomes more scarce. But a project involving Palestinian, Israeli, and Jordan youth, emanating from a region fraught with conflict, represents the possibility for cooperation instead of conflict. That's the focus of this edition of REWIND.
Making Connections: 20 Years of Environmental Change and Security
Oct 14, 2014
Twenty years ago, many of the key environmental issues of the day, and their implications for national and global security, were too often discussed in isolation. Silo walls were rarely breached, and key players in the public and private sectors did not engage on a regular basis. Enter the Environmental Change and Security Program of the Wilson Center, an undertaking specifically designed to make connections between those that can achieve more working together than would ever be possible while acting separately. An all-star panel looks back at what's been achieved while also assessing the challenges that lie ahead.

We recently spoke with the program's founding director, P.J. Simmons, and asked him to provide both a history lesson and a look forward.

Gene Variants in Autism Linked to Brain Development
Science Daily
Date Published:
March 7, 2011
New research on the genomics of autism confirms that the genetic roots of the disorder are highly complicated, but that common biological themes underlie this complexity. In the current study, researchers have implicated several new candidate genes and genomic variants as contributors to autism, and conclude that many more remain to be discovered. While the gene alterations are individually very rare, they mostly appear to disrupt genes that play important functional roles in brain development and nerve signaling.

LOVE these!
I never ever wear shorts, but I decided to give these a try since they are such a good price. I just got them in the mail today and tried them on and love them! The elastic waist band is very comfy, it has cute pockets and I like that the volcom logo is noticable :) I ordered a size up, even though they have the elastic waist band and I'm happy I did because they fit just right, my regular size would have been too small. I bought them in black and they're nice and light wieght, they're also short, without being so short that I'd be scared to wear them out. I might just have to get these in another color!

Taylor Swift For Keds Sneaker Collection
Taylor Swift Talks Keds Collaboration and Dressing "Like a Fairy"
Along with her Bravehearts campaign, Taylor Swift partnered up with Keds on a very fitting shoe collaboration. The collection — which retails for $50 a pair — features 12 Champion sneaker styles reimagined. "The sneakers are really fun and easy to wear, and the designs reflect some of my favorite things," said Swift. Translation: the classic silhouette comes covered in a quirky sunglasses print; chevron patterns are tinged with mini guitars, paw prints, and flowers; and a stars-and-anchors motif provides a preppier slant. And if the shoes don't already speak for themselves, Swift sat down with stylist Zanna Roberts Rassi to talk all things collaboration, personal style evolution, and "dressing like a fairy." Keep reading for the best Swift style quotes, as well as a complete look at the Swift for Keds collection inside.

Now that Will sees Hannibal for what he truly is, he faces a fight to prove his own sanity and convince those closest to him he is innocent of murder.

Looking for answers, Jack turns to a man he has come to trust: Hannibal Lecter. With Will locked up, Hannibal becomes Jack's new consultant on cases. Hannibal is torn between self-preservation and his desire to keep Will close to him, despite advice from his psychiatrist Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson) to stay away.

Peaky Blinders is an epic gangster drama set in the lawless streets of post-war Birmingham on the cusp of the 1920s. Britain in 1919 is a tumultuous mix of despair and hedonism, a nation cleaned out by the extravagances of the Great War. Returning soldiers, newly-minted revolutionaries and criminal gangs all fight for survival in an industrial landscape gripped by economic upheaval. Thomas Shelby and his family run the most feared and powerful local gang, the Peaky Blinders. Named for their practice of sewing razor blades into the peaks of their caps, they make money from illegal betting, protection and the black market. But Tommy's ambitions go beyond running the streets, and when a crate of guns goes missing from an arms factory, he recognises an opportunity to move up in the world. Crime pays, but business pays better.

Hi folks, I don't usually grow succulents, but I just couldn't pass this one up when I saw it at Home Depot. It's named Echeveria 'Surf' and when I bought it this past winter, it was a rosette of purple leaves, I mean purple like grape kool-aid or a classic bearded iris or purple lavender. Gradually the leaves faded though. It is now outside for the summer, on an east-facing porch, and the new leaves coming in are a pale purplish gray. Very nice, but I am wondering - how on earth did the grower get it to be that purple? |

As the Beach Boys said, 'Sun, sun, sun....". Echeveria will loose their color with lower light levels. In addition, those with "lumps and bumps" will grow with less or no carbuncles and less wave to the leaf edge with lower light. For me, winter really is my worse season for my Echeveria! If you want nice color, place it out in full sun from dawn to dusk. I would gradually ease it out there so it doesn't get sunburn. |

If it was the Echeveria that looks somewhat like 'Topsy Turvy' (I've only only a couple references to 'Surf' pix), its color may change through the year & depend if it's in sun or shade. Do you have a photo of your plant to share with us? |
- Posted by jacqueinthegorge USDA 7a / Sunset 3 (My Page) on Sat, Jun 15, 13 at 21:57
Pic below. You can see that the oldest rosette leaves, now senescing, are a dark purple. Yes, I've moved it outside to an east exposure, where it gets morning sun. After another few days, I will move again to a southern exposure, where it will get high shade. This is my first upload, so if I screw up, just let me know! |
...not one of the spray-painted ones, is it? |
I think Rina nailed it... I think you'll be unhappy to learn you were misled, but happy the plant is outgrowing its former mutilated state. |
- Posted by bikerdoc5968 6 SE MI (My Page) on Sun, Jun 16, 13 at 7:28
Sorry to say this is a painted plant and NOT its normal appearance. It is Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy'. It will always grow as pictured. More sun tends to "bleach" it to a lighter color. It will get large orange flowers. It tends to pup rather easily giving the stem a false crested look. It becomes hard to appreciate the main head. |
If you search this site, you will find photos of spray painted succulents...what a shame. (or check this link -did yours looked like that?) Your plant will be very nice if you provide the right growing conditions. Here is a close-up of mine E. Topsy Turvy planter last summer (don't mind the bright-green seedlings, that's some 'volunteers'-Jewels of Opar) and the close-up of flowers earlier this spring: Rina |

Interesting...when I had 'Topsy Turvy', my blooms did not look like yours, Rina. They were like the ones below (clickable & not c. links), where the bloom's petals are separated: http://www.pendernursery.com/Images/Echiveria-Topsy-flowers.jpg Jacque, sorry you were fooled by the pretty spray paint practice. :( |
Here is a link that might be useful: E. 'Topsy Turvy' blooms
Rosemarie It bloomed number of times, but they always look the same. Don't have many photos, here is one from last Aug. Are they like that since opening - or maybe when they get 'older' and about to finish? or maybe it's your cali sun? |
One more photo of the most recent blooms - I also noticed that I don't seem to have as many flowers on the stalk as they are on photo from rosemarie. Rina |
- Posted by rosemariero z11/24 So Calif (My Page) on Tue, Jun 18, 13 at 11:30
Rosemarie Thank you for photos, I'll definitely pay more attention when mine blooms again. Even the rosette on yours looks 'tighter' than any of mine after being outside...Rina |
- Posted by jacqueinthegorge USDA 7a / Sunset 3 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 18, 13 at 19:57
Hmmm, I did think of artificial coloration. So I rubbed the leaf, and it didn't come off. Also, you can't see it in the pic above, but on some of the new leaves, the little points on the ends are definitely purple. See below. And I definitely did not paint those, my hands are not that steady! I wondered whether you could use colored water to change/intensify an echeveria's color. Or maybe someone got carried away with touching the leaves up to match the little points... ETA: Rina, your link didn't work for me. |

Rina, mine were tighter because they were on the SOS program. =) The code for your link is missing a forward slash, I think (?), so here it is again for Rina's slide show: http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/Rina_TO/slideshow/paint-sprayed succulents Jacque, what does ETA mean? We might add it to our list of terms & acronyms used here. |
- Posted by jacqueinthegorge USDA 7a / Sunset 3 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 19, 13 at 20:33
ETA - edited to add - I edited my original post to include the note to Rina. The little growth is on one of the lower rosette leaves, If you squint real hard, you can see it on the first pic I posted, on your left as you are facing your screen (that's the one I enlarged) and also one on your right. Several other leaves have them as well. I *think* these little blobs are all on the lower leaves, but I could be wrong. These leaves are slightly heart-shaped at the tip, and the purple growths are in the cleft. Some people thought that my "Surf" was actually "Topsy-Turvy", but the pics of T-T show definite single spine-lke projections at the tips of all the leaves, and not the small "purple blobs" that my plant has on at least some of its leaves. (Until someone comes up with a better name, purple blob is now the technical term!) Although my plant has the spine-like projections on the upper rosette leaves. At any rate, it is a handsome plant, and if someone tampered with it, that's not the plant's fault! |
- Posted by rosemariero6 z10 /ss24 So. Calif. (My Page) on Wed, Jun 19, 13 at 22:20
Oh wow! That is bizarre ~your little purple blob. I would wait to see what develops from it, maybe calling it a growth or leaf, if it ever looks like one. So odd that it is purple! Maybe this is how it got its "surf" name! |
- Posted by jacqueinthegorge USDA 7a / Sunset 3 (My Page) on Sat, Jun 22, 13 at 0:50
OK, I will update as things occur. A flower stalk is definitely forming, will be interesting to see what the flowers will look like. |

Bowl-a-Roll Lanes has purveyed the sporting side of pin punishment for more than half a century, hosting bowlers of all ages and skill levels on 32 automated lanes. Upon arrival, customers will lace up their dual-tone shoes and slide over to the ball rack to pick out their globular weapon of choice. Two hours will spin away across lacquered wood slats as teams of up to six bowlers channel their focus and energy into subsequent frames of pin scattering, breaking concentration only to restock caffeine levels from the soft-drink pitcher. Children may boldly bowl with the bumpers up to prevent gutter anxiety. Though not valid with your Groupon, groups may also stop by Bowl-a-Roll on Friday and Saturday nights for cosmic bowling, a black-lit laser light show that allows players to experience the game the way its creator, George Lucas, originally envisioned it.
Balls hurtle down slick lanes toward clusters of pins at the family-owned Spencerport Bowl. Leagues duke it out at least once daily, and Friday and Saturday nights host the Famous Rockin' Bowl from 9 p.m. to midnight, when disco lights illumine an alley awash in fog. Revelry spills over to CJ's Pub & Grill, where frequent karaoke sessions supply a festive backbeat for burger-and-pizza feasts. Those who still have an appetite for entertainment after bowling can refuel at the on-site arcade.
On Friday and Saturday nights, Lighthouse Lanes gets bowlers grooving to a light show set to music during cosmic bowling. Even a day spent at open bowling is electrifying, with bowlers sending bright colored balls down glossy lanes. Automatic scorers keep track of who's in the lead, so players don't have to assign someone to take video. Lane-side activities include a video-game arcade and a cozy lounge filled with flat-screen televisions.
A vintage photo of Mallwitz's Island Lanes, presumably from the 1980s, shows a much different alley than the one that stands today. Its patrons are dressed and coiffed for the times, bright yellows and reds flash across the walls, and strikes and spares are scrawled by hand. A modern-day snapshot illustrates the transformation that has occurred since the center's 1980 opening: 24 lanes feature computerized scoring systems and freshly oiled surfaces that glisten in the muted glow of black lights like a newborn's head after his first waxing. Other contemporary touches include a full bar, complete with a food menu headlined by popular wings.
Tonawanda Bowling Center's 42 lanes reverberate with the thunderous roar of clattering bowling pins. Over the course of two hours, bowlers hurl multicolored bowling balls down polished wooden lanes as they challenge pins' right to assemble. Automated scoreboards announce budding rivalries between competing rock-slingers, and optional bumpers facilitate gutter-free voyages for on-duty bowling balls. Bowlers waiting their turns can slip into lane-side tables and chairs, where a pitcher of soda washes over parched lips and tongues tired from directional commands issued to defiant balls. For further sustenance, lanesmen can retreat to the full-service lounge and restaurant and partake of its full menu or sing along to Saturday night karaoke.

Who do you think looks best today? (5 photos)
The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
Selena Gomez's long, ropey plait got an extra dose of drama with the addition of a sky-high pompadour. Her hairstylist Marissa Marino began with the volume on top, sectioning the front of Gomez's hairline and sprinkling on Unite's Expanda Dust ($27; unitehair.com) to add body. After teasing it with a fine-tooth comb, she pinned it into place and created five small ponytails down the center of the star's head. Marino twisted the five ponytails into a French braid, and roughed it up by pulling a few pieces out. The tousled texture of Gomez's plait contrasted with the sleek finish on top, so recreate the same effect by taming any loose wisps around your face with a hairspray like Unite's Max Control version ($28; unitehair.com).Read MoreLess

Member of a council of priests in ancient Rome. The pontifices were responsible for administration of the jus divinum (laws concerning religious practices). There were 3 pontifices under the monarchy, but by the time of Julius Caesar the number had grown to 16, of which 1 was designated chief priest, or pontifex maximus. Also included in the collegium (college) of pontifices were the Vestal Virgins. Among the duties of the pontifices were regulation of the calendar and of expiatory rituals, consecration of temples and sacred objects, superintendence of marriage and the family, and administration of the laws of adoption and succession.

A shorter, 3.73:1 (versus the painfully long 3.31:1) limited-slip differential is optional on the GT, but autocrossers and track rats surely will want to wait for the track pack, a $1495 option to be released later in 2009. It includes the diff, firmer dampers, more aggressive brake pads, and summer tires in place of the GT's all-season rubber, as well as antiroll bars and other suspension goodies from the 2009 GT500. The transformation is dramatic on the racetrack, where the GT is well-damped, well-balanced, and easily controllable rather than wallowy and prone to understeer.
Ford knows its Mustang customers well, whether they're track junkies, quarter-mile rockers, or just people who want a cool-looking sporty car. And by making the 2010 Mustang the same, only better, Ford is giving those customers exactly what they want. The confident Mustang doesn't have to worry. Even if the Camaro winds up being the better car - like it was through the 1990s - Mustang buyers won't care.

Burnsville, Minn.-based Minnesota Valley Transit Authority placed an order for seven Nova buses for its bus rapid transit (BRT) services.
MVTA opted for the LFX Smart Bus, which includes the Nova eCooling system, the Nova Bus proprietary integrated electric engine cooling that can improve fuel economy by up to 18%. The stainless steel structure designed for highly variable operating conditions was also a must for MVTA to handle Minnesota's climate.
For its BRT services, MVTA and its partners wanted sleek curb appeal with the ability to quickly handle large passenger loads at elevated platforms. The single roofline, flush windows, new interior design and large capacity doors of the Nova LFX represented an ideal match.
The selected configuration features disc brakes, composite flooring and all-LED lighting options for improved safety and cost savings. The addition of larger windows, clear escape hatches and LCD screens enhance the customer experience and provide greater opportunities for additional marketing revenues.
The buses will be assembled in Nova Bus' Upstate New York plant and delivered in the fall of 2012.

I dug up my Dahlias today, then I took another look at the instructions offered on this forum, and I had forgotten one thing - that I was supposed to let them wilt first. We've had some cold nights but not freezes and the foliage is still healthy. What should I do? I've left most of the dirt on the clumps so haven't looked for eyes. Your thoughts? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you cut off the foliage first, just let the clumps sit for a few days. You might even find eyes now, but the conventional wisdom says to let them sit a few days after cutting. If you dug them up with the foliage on, cut it off leaving a stalk 'handle' of about 6-8 inches or more. A frost is optional- they grow dahlias in warm climates too and manage to keep their tubers regrowing every year. Good Luck! |

Now i'm moving on to layouts , i had it looking nice ,
but when i moved the viewer window it all moves around ,
so come to the understanding i want fixed layout
which seems to be the case in most the websites i like
does that mean i have to stick to fixed pixel values ???
is there no way of creating a percentage of the screens resolution ??
then the layout stays fixed in relation to view port ,
but automatically scales to the full screen size ??
make sense ??
if not are there any good guidelines for fixed layout

Lexham English Bible (LEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Now before the feast of Passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, [and] having loved [his] own in the world, loved them to the end. | 1 It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love. |

Harry Peroulis: Support Hagenbuch
Friday, October 24, 2008
Craig To the editor:
During the campaign, I have on numerous occasions taken the time to listen to the District 57 candidates either speak or debate, and each time I came away more and more convinced that Todd Hagenbuch is the clear choice to represent the district. And believe me, I am a lifelong Republican, so I really needed convincing.
In my opinion, knowing Todd's family history and regard for unique Western Slope issues, I am sure all Western Slope residents will be pleased with how effective he can speak on our behalf in Denver. Although voting right on issues that affect us is very important, it is equally important to influence other legislators to see things as we do. If you know Todd, he has skin in the game, so he will take it seriously.
Todd, I am supporting you, but the Ronald Reagan in me - "trust but verify" - is also watching you. Best of luck.
Harry Peroulis

2 (.25 ounce) packages quick-rising yeast (such as Fleischmann's RapidRise®)
1/2 cup lukewarm water
4 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup warm milk
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 cup raisins (optional)
1 cup walnuts (optional)
1/4 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Made these early this morning for the family to wake up to. I used a 15x11 pan and made 12 large buns. They baked up full and with no shrinking gaps between the layers. I have had that happen on other recipes and was so happy to see it did not happen again with this recipe! The changes I made were to use brown sugar and omit the corn syrup and honey in the topping opting for water instead. This made the sugar dissolve into a smooth consistency. The buns were light and flaky and large in size. Just like from the bakery. I will absolutely be making these again!

Easy recipe to follow...best recipe I've tried. Used almond instead of pecans....this batch didn't last long in our home
I made these for my 1-3rd grade Sunday School class. They loved them. Could've used more sauce so if you want sticky, sticky buns I would recommend doubling the sauce recipe. They were delicious and disappeared in minutes. They are best straight out of the oven and they are so light and fluffy when hot, it's like eating air. AWESOME RECIPE!! =D
This is a recipe that we try and make on holidays and other family gathers. They really are best served right out of the oven. If you want these for breakfast, you can get everything ready the night before, keep them in the refrigerator and bake them the next morning. They usually don't last very long!
Love Love Love these! I'm into these deep... LOL One of my all time fav's! I also have made this with a coconut filling when I didn't have quite enough nuts. Used orange marmalade w/ coconut inside and pecans on the top, kin'da tropical and very yummy. Oh, if it sounds like too much work it's worth it... but you can just put the carmel topping ingred. into the pan under the rolls { for one less step } and it will work just fine.
Delicious! I halved the recipe and used my 11x7 baking pan (well sprayed w/ cooking spray), and that worked out perfectly. I did omit the raisins (may try them sometime), and subbed pecans for walnuts b/c that's what I had on hand. These baked up beautifully, and came out of the pan, no problem. I will def be making these again and again~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)
Sorry cause I wanted to like this recipe. It was confusing because there was no kneading mentioned and wasn't sure if it was unintentional so I did a short, light knead before the first rise. There wasn't nearly enough topping for my liking. Was expecting some ooey-gooey treats but this recipe just didn't do it for me.

Carthage residents have been living with discolored and smelly water from their taps for two weeks.City residents endured a similar occurrence last summer.Second-Ward Alderman Gary Smith says the problem, and the culprit, are the same.He says, "The really high temperatures and the low lake has caused the algae to be an issue in the lake. They're treating it but everything's working against us. It seems to be working itself out."The level of the city's lake is about eight feet below normal.
Carthage's water conservation measures have not stabilized the level of the city's lake reservoir.
Second Ward Alderman Gary Smith says the measures have reduced water consumption since they were enacted last month.
He says, "Before it (got) to be critical, we started saving, trying to have conservation. It's been real good. The usage is down significantly."
The city banned businesses watering their lawns. The city also asked residents to voluntarily reduce their water consumption. Smith says consumption has been cut from 250,000 gallons per day to 210,000.
Carthage is being pro-active by encouraging water conservation by a combination of mandatory and voluntary measures.
Businesses are required to stop watering their lawns.
Second-ward Alderman Gary Smith says the city is concerned since the level at the city's lake has fallen by five feet recently.
He expects businesses will honor the ban. Smith says, "We've had good luck in the past and I think we'll probably not have any problem this time."Businesses that ignore the order could be subject to fines.
Carthage is trying a new solution to a persistent problem last year-water discoloration. The city's drinking water was never unsafe, just unsavory. It was frequently a dull green. The city liberally applied chemicals to the water with little effect.
Second-ward Alderman Gary Smith says the three aerators will bubble air through the lake. The action will thoroughly mix the layers of water and reduce algae formation.
He says, "This is kind of an ongoing process. It might take a year to get the lake rehabilitated."
Carthage residents might soon depend on a high-tech warning system during emergencies.
Fire Chief Gary Smith is proposing the city purchase a phone messaging system, primarily for use during emergencies. He says it would come at a "nominal cost."
He said, "It would allow us to make one phone call that would go out to all the residents of Carthage, up to three different phone numbers for each residence."
Carthage might have to raise what it charges for fire calls outside the city limits.
Fire Chief Gary Smith said the department doesn't cover a fire district. It is a city department that provides a service within a designated area. Since people in the area don't pay a tax for fire protection, they get a bill when the fire department responds to a call.
He said, "With the rising fuel costs, diesel costs a lot. Equipment costs a lot. We take around a half-million dollars worth of equipment and between that and the fuel cost we can spend more than we bring in."

Holman Christian Standard (CSB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 After these things had been done, the leaders approached me and said: "The people of Israel, the priests, and the Levites have not separated themselves from the surrounding peoples whose detestable practices are like those of the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites. | 1 After these things had been done, the leaders came to me and said, "The people of Israel, including the priests and the Levites, have not kept themselves separate from the neighboring peoples with their detestable practices, like those of the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians and Amorites. |
2 Indeed, they have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, so that the holy people has become mixed with the surrounding peoples. The leaders and officials have taken the lead in this unfaithfulness!" | 2 They have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, and have mingled the holy race with the peoples around them. And the leaders and officials have led the way in this unfaithfulness." |
3 When I heard this report, I tore my tunic and robe, pulled out some of the hair from my head and beard, and sat down devastated. | 3 When I heard this, I tore my tunic and cloak, pulled hair from my head and beard and sat down appalled. |
4 Everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel gathered around me, because of the unfaithfulness of the exiles, while I sat devastated until the evening offering. | 4 Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel gathered around me because of this unfaithfulness of the exiles. And I sat there appalled until the evening sacrifice. |
5 At the evening offering, I got up from my humiliation, with my tunic and robe torn. Then I fell on my knees and spread out my hands to the Lord my God. | 5 Then, at the evening sacrifice, I rose from my self-abasement, with my tunic and cloak torn, and fell on my knees with my hands spread out to the LORD my God |
6 And I said: My God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift my face toward You, my God, because our iniquities are higher than [our] heads and our guilt is as high as the heavens. | 6 and prayed: "O my God, I am too ashamed and disgraced to lift up my face to you, my God, because our sins are higher than our heads and our guilt has reached to the heavens. |
7 Our guilt has been terrible from the days of our fathers until the present. Because of our iniquities we have been handed over, along with our kings and priests, to the surrounding kings, and to the sword, captivity, plundering, and open shame, as it is today. | 7 From the days of our forefathers until now, our guilt has been great. Because of our sins, we and our kings and our priests have been subjected to the sword and captivity, to pillage and humiliation at the hand of foreign kings, as it is today. |
8 But now, for a brief moment, grace has come from the Lord our God to preserve a remnant for us and give us a stake in His holy place. Even in our slavery, God has given us new life and light to our eyes. | 8 "But now, for a brief moment, the LORD our God has been gracious in leaving us a remnant and giving us a firm place in his sanctuary, and so our God gives light to our eyes and a little relief in our bondage. |
9 Though we are slaves, our God has not abandoned us in our slavery. He has extended grace to us in the presence of the Persian kings, giving us new life, so that we can rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins, to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem. | 9 Though we are slaves, our God has not deserted us in our bondage. He has shown us kindness in the sight of the kings of Persia: He has granted us new life to rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins, and he has given us a wall of protection in Judah and Jerusalem. |
10 Now, our God, what can we say in light of this? For we have abandoned the commandments | 10 "But now, O our God, what can we say after this? For we have disregarded the commands |
11 You gave through Your servants the prophets, saying: "The land you are entering to possess is an impure land. The surrounding peoples have filled it from end to end with their uncleanness by their impurity and detestable practices. | 11 you gave through your servants the prophets when you said: 'The land you are entering to possess is a land polluted by the corruption of its peoples. By their detestable practices they have filled it with their impurity from one end to the other. |
12 So do not give your daughters to their sons in marriage or take their daughters for your sons. Never seek their peace or prosperity, so that you will be strong, eat the good things of the land, and leave [it] as an inheritance to your sons forever." | 12 Therefore, do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters for your sons. Do not seek a treaty of friendship with them at any time, that you may be strong and eat the good things of the land and leave it to your children as an everlasting inheritance.' |
13 After all that has happened to us because of our evil deeds and terrible guilt-though You, our God, have punished [us] less than our sins [deserve] and have allowed us to survive- | 13 "What has happened to us is a result of our evil deeds and our great guilt, and yet, our God, you have punished us less than our sins have deserved and have given us a remnant like this. |
14 should we break Your commandments again and intermarry with the peoples who commit these detestable practices? Wouldn't You become [so] angry with us that You would destroy us, leaving no survivors? | 14 Shall we again break your commands and intermarry with the peoples who commit such detestable practices? Would you not be angry enough with us to destroy us, leaving us no remnant or survivor? |
15 Lord God of Israel, You are righteous, for we survive as a remnant today. Here we are before You with our guilt, though no one can stand in Your presence because of this. | 15 O LORD, God of Israel, you are righteous! We are left this day as a remnant. Here we are before you in our guilt, though because of it not one of us can stand in your presence." |

Croatia legalises drug possession
Comment on this storyEU-bound Croatia decided on Friday to decriminalise drugs possession, introducing fines instead of jail terms for users caught with small amounts for personal use.
Under amendments to the country's penal code, possession of drugs for personal use will no longer be a criminal offence.
"Now youngsters caught in a park with a joint will not go to prison, but pay a fine," Justice Minister Orsat Miljenic told lawmakers.
From January 1, those found in possession of drugs can be fined up to 2 680 euros ($3 503), be sent for rehabilitation or ordered to do community service.
Previously, anyone convicted of drugs possession could be sentenced to up to three years in jail.
Under the new law, however, stricter penalties of up to 15 years in jail will be handed down to those convicted of drug dealing, especially if caught near schools.
Croatia will become the 28th member of the European Union next July. - AFP

Because this one is far too epic to sit on the sidebar. Read it:
I died when I read this XD For some reason, I'm less shocked that they were stupid enough to do it, and more surprised that they LIVED to tell about it. Then again, going through life with the knowledge that you were stupid to attack chuck norris, and that your friends/family/the people in the area know about it, is probably a hell in and of itself. I know I'd never let them live it down XD
EDIT: Edited the spoiler, it should work now

The 3-series is an amazing car. It's the ultimate in driving dynamics, luxurious--and still hated by a lot of people. The only real problem with the 3-series is so many people who buy the cars don't really know how to drive. Everyone knows the joke about porcupines and BMWs, but the stereotype is true enough to keep at least a few enthusiasts out of the car. My friend Aaron races sprint cars and daily drives a Mazda Miata but instantly made fun of me for driving a 3-series for the weekend. For him, no matter how well the car drives, the 3-series' image is permanently stained by the hipsters who buy the car as a status symbol and care more about the Bluetooth and iPod connections than rev-matched downshifts. It's a pity these people don't enjoy driving. If they did, there would certainly be enough demand to bring Joe DeMatio's dream 335xi Sport Wagon to market. There would even be demand for that car with a six-speed manual!
If I were buying this car, I'd pass on all the options other than the iPod adapter and the satellite radio. I'd also want a sedan or wagon wrapper around my 335i mechanical bits to maximize the versatility of the package. The coupe worked surprisingly well with an adult in the back seat, but ingress and egress obviously suffer in all coupes. Ditching the sport package would certainly improve the ride of this 3-series around Michigan--the ultra-stiff runflat tires don't absorb bumps like traditional tires and the springs are a little too firm for these roads.
