Holiday to Peru's Inca Trail "fantastic experience"
Tourists can expect to have a "fantastic experience" trekking along the Inca Trail on a holiday to Peru, if one correspondent's experiences are anything to go by.
Writing for BCLocalNews.com, Tony Mayo recounted visiting villages and hamlets, ingratiating with local people and learning about their customs.
His trip took place during harvest time, meaning he was able to observe how the country's farmers work to feed their families.
He explained how nearly every aspect of daily life is performed by hand, with food preparation taking place on an open fire and mortars and pestles are key implements.
Later in the sojourn, Mr Mayo was invited to a social gathering, where he took part in a traditional celebration.
"I was asked if I wanted to dance and found it much more difficult, tiring and strenuous than it looked. They told me I did a good job and they all laughed and clapped," he wrote.
Travellers looking to enjoy their own once-in-a-lifetime holiday to Peru could book onto one of Adventure Company's tours of the country.
The Flight of the Condor trip allows tourists to explore the labyrinth of Inca Temples in Machu Picchu, while also visiting Cusco.
Meanwhile, the Empire of the Inca, Teens on the Trail Teenage Adventure or Land of the Incas Family Holiday could all be fun, rewarding options.

Question | Discussion | References | CME Credit Case 6: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Skin and Soft Tissue InfectionsYou answered:
This answer is incorrect. Community-acquired isolates of MRSA also frequently show resistance to fluoroquinolones, such as ciprofloxacin, and thus ciprofloxacin is not considered a preferred regimen. Preferred antimicrobials for community-acquired skin and soft tissue MRSA infections include trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra), doxycycline, minocycline, clindamycin, and linezolid (Zyvox). |

Summary: Why model computationally? Because these methods allow researchers to combine the rich detail of qualitative research with the rigor of quantitative and formal research, as well as to represent complex structures and processes within a theoretical model. The authors treat computational methods, including dynamic simulation (Monte Carlo methods), knowledge-based models (semantic networks, frame systems, and rule-based systems), and machine learning (connectionism, rul ...show moree induction, and genetic algorithms), as a single broad-based class of research tools and develop a framework for incorporating them within established traditions of social science research. They provide a concise description of each method and a variety of social science illustrations including four detailed examples. Common to most of these methods is a straightforward underlying approach: simulate the theory by running the program. Computational Modeling concludes with a discussion of ways to validate computational models. ...show less

When I read 'sweet peas' I think of flowers. When I read 'harvest' I think of things you eat. Whichever you meant, I think the procedure is similar--you plant in winter and pick in late winter. I haven't done it, but I have gardening friends who have done both, so I know it's possible. Think it's wise to use an inoculant. You could check with the LSU extension office or web-site. |

Liquor licenses temporarily suspended for Craig businesses
Wednesday, June 18, 2008
Craig A compliance check conducted by the Craig Police Department resulted in liquor violations for 10 local businesses.
On May 3, an underage person was sent into restaurants and stores across town to try to purchase alcohol. The 10 businesses that failed the compliance check - by selling to the minor - were required to attend the Craig City Council's Liquor Licensing Authority on Tuesday night.
Among the businesses with violations were Fiesta Jalisco, Kum & Go - both East and West - and Safeway.
Attorney Steve Lee accompanied Safeway manager Fred Hudson to the podium. Lee referred to the sale as an "unfortunate circumstance."
Safeway's second violation of CRS 12-47-901 of the Colorado Liquor Code in six months led the council to suspend the business's liquor license for five business days, beginning Monday.
"We have a detailed training program for this, but there are sometimes incidents," Lee said. "All we can do is stand up, admit it and accept the punishment."
Fiesta Jalisco, also a second-time offender, received the same suspension.
The Kum & Go stores, both on their third violations within a year, were given lengthier suspensions.
West Kum & Go, represented by Susan Garlock, will be unable to sell liquor from June 23 to July 12, 20 days total, the minimum sentence for a third offense.
A fourth violation can lead to revocation of liquor licenses.
East Kum & Go had no representatives in attendance. The council chose to add an additional 10 days onto the store's license suspension as a result of failing to appear.
"I'm astonished that they weren't here," Police Chief Walt Vanatta said. "The minimum sentence just isn't appropriate if they don't care enough to show up."
Council records show that East Kum & Go received sufficient notification of the hearing. Store representatives were unavailable for comment.
Management for Craig Liquor, Loadout Liquors, Carelli's, Casa Loya, and Pizza Hut will receive written warnings from the council for violations, each of which was their first within the past year. Another will lead to suspension of licenses if it occurs within the next year.
J.W. Snack's Gulf Coast Bar and BBQ is a first-time offender, as well. Owner Danny Griffith maintained that he is "making every effort to make sure it never happens again."
Many of the businesses' representatives said they have worked on solutions such as carding customers no matter what age, and hiring workers certified in Training for Intervention Procedures.
City Council member Bill Johnston refers to the problem of minors buying liquor as a "three-legged stool."
"Licensees aren't the whole problem," Johnston said. "We need to have some kind of fines for the kids who are actually doing it, because they're not just going to stop. Fines for that kind of thing go through the DA's office, though.
"Parents are the third leg in the stool, because some of them are providing alcohol for their kids' friends. It's as big a deal to handle these problems as it is to deal with the businesses."

You say Parents are the third leg and that is true but do you realize that you also punish parents who try to do the right thing with THERE kids? What are we supposed to do when we ask the local law enforcement(what a joke!) for help and they say when the kid gets in trouble we will help and when your child sneeks out and you spank them then you are added to an abuse list for two years so finally the child ( who is now being called an adult) is incarcerated for years.

sljsmom--It's been that way for a long time. When I was running a store, I had applications up to my ears. "Will you work week-ends?" No, "Will you work shifts?" No . I had to do it to get the position I had. Kids would come in, want a job, and not want to work. I don't know what has happened to the work ethic that was around when I was a kid. I just know it isn't there any more.

Parents that hand kids everything they want. Parents that are to busy trying to be friends with their kids instead of being parents. Parents that don't say "no" often enough.

Save the 225 year old Heritage Pond, Sector-26, Chandigarh
I as an active Citizen of India understand my Fundamental Constitutional duty to preserve the environment of the Country and thus state that the Heritage Pond and the Fruit Nursery in Sector-26, Chandigarh should remain undisturbed by any building plans. The place is of Educational , environmental ,heritage and aesthetic importance and any plans to construct building at that place would be against the spirit of sustainable development . I strongly recommend the Chandigarh Administration that the place be preserved as a natural site for generations to come and may be developed on lines of Eco Tourism rather than building up Club or institutes. Also the water supply to the Nursery should be restored at the earliest as the nursery plants are dying . I pledge my support to the 'Green Warriors' Campaign to preserve this important place in the City of Chandigarh. Think Global act local! Thanks

Red Zoo Marketing, a large Canadian grower-shipper of greenhouse tomatoes and other vegetables has closed its doors.
Jay Colasanti, president and co-owner of Red Zoo, Ruthven, Ontario, said the company's last shipment of tomatoes from growers arrived May 1.
The company plans to liquidate its assets, Colasanti said May 7.
"We've had some difficulties with some investments in Mexico," said Colasanti, who formed the company, then called Performance Produce, with partner Cliff Robinson in 1991. "The salmonella issues from last year really broke our back. Then, we've had issues this season with the bad markets.
"Our liquidity had fallen to the point where we just couldn't see the company falling further in debt. We've ceased operations and now look at possibilities at liquidating assets."
Colasanti said he wanted to liquidate assets as quickly as possible so that "we can take care of our unsecured creditors in a professional manner."
Most of Red Zoo's assets are tied into its 90,000-square-foot main facility in Ruthven.
"We're just going to take the company out of the race now, so as not to drag this out further," Colasanti said.
Colasanti said attempts were made at selling the company in hopes of perhaps sparing at least some of the 70-person staff the company employs.
"But in this economy," Colasanti said, "nobody wants to take on that much debt.
"Our team is one of the most professional in the industry. Many have already been approached by other companies."
Throughout the 1990s, Colasanti and Robinson grew Performance Produce into one of North America's premier shippers of greenhouse produce. In 1997, Performance became the first produce dealer to win a company of the year award from the Leamington, Ontario Chamber of Commerce.
By 2000, Performance Produce had evolved into Red Zoo, and at its peak, the company employed nearly 100 and shipped in excess of 5 million cartons of fresh produce.
Near the end of 2006, Red Zoo nearly doubled its total production in Mexico and expanded its volumes of specialty vegetable items there, moving into year-round production of GrapeRoma and Amorosa cocktail tomatoes.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — As the calendar turns to September, the Red Sox will keep an eye on a number of young players who are going into a sixth month of the regular season for the first time in their professional careers. One guy Boston doesn't really have to worry about wearing down over this final month, though, is catcher Christian Vazquez.
Although Vazquez will play into September for the first time, he shouldn't exceed his career-high in games caught by very much. Sunday marked Vazquez's 98th game this season — one more than last year. But it was only the 84th game he had caught, which still sits a dozen shy of the number he posted in both 2011 and 2012.
Early-season work as the designated hitter in Pawtucket has helped keep the 24-year-old fresh this late in the year.
"I'm ready," he said of playing in September. "I feel good, I feel strong. It's the same baseball for me. I'm playing the same innings as in the minors, and I feel the same."
"He's held up fine," Farrell said Saturday. "There's been no indication of him slowing down as far as blocking skills or anything like that behind the plate."
Farrell said Vazquez will continue to get "the majority of the reps" in September. Boston is likely to call up a third catcher such as Dan Butler early in September.

Wind Versus Solar: Is One a Better Wager?
"It's a fair question to ask, and an important one," said Ben Pang, an analyst with Caris & Company, though obviously not over a period of one day, and not over the longest-term perspective. "As a whole, both the solar and the wind energy industries have always maintained that there is enough room for everyone to profit," Pang said.
In the long-run, it doesn't matter if one sector is the better performer in 2010 than the other sector, in terms of the maturation of both the wind and solar energy sectors. But that might matter to investors. It is notable that when Spain said adios to solar subsidies last year, it made the change to the benefit of wind energy.
Take the German feed-in tariff system, which could cause real short-term pain to solar investors. If the subsidies are reduced by a significant amount, there will be a sell-off in solar in 2010 -- or even before the end of the year, depending on when the announcement is made by Germany and its severity. And that's a good thing for the solar industry in the long-term, while a potentially bad event for solar investors.
Pang argued that the solar industry needs to wean itself off the government welfare system of tariff-related business and develop a strategic, risk diversified mix of both short-term tariff incentivized and longer term non-tariff business, such as 10- to 20-year utility-scale projects.
"This is the key issue for the group, and I believe it will be better for them to not be in a subsidy situation," Pang said. Does that mean that investors who fear the German tariff reaper should migrate to wind as a short-term play? It's not a fair question to ask when it involves a company like GE. Analysts note that GE is basically a distressed financial company that has a wind turbine business, so you can't play it apples-to-apples versus dedicated solar companies. A-Power Energy Generation Systems (APWR), a pure play alternative energy company, also recently announced a big win for a wind farm in West Texas, though unlike the GE deal, it has yet to receive all of the pivotal regulatory approvals. A-Power was up moderately on Thursday with a gain of 1.3%.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

MYSORE: The CM's brief tour of the city on Monday affected the top officials' plans to cycle to work. But DC P S Vastrad, who has initiated it, managed to pedal to work even as he managed to adhere to protocol requiring him to tail the CM traveling in his official car.
In to fourth week, the cycle to work found takers with 122 government employees pedaling to work, according to figures available at the DC office. MUDA, which took the lead with majority of its employees cycling, has been overtaken by the Mysore City Corporation employees. As against 37 MUDA staff, 45 employees attached to the MCC cycled to work. It is 12 for the revenue department.
Vastrad started his works pedaling to the Zilla Panchayat, where he is incharge CEO and got back to Jalasannidhi, his official residence from where he took car for the helipad at the foothills of Chamundi Hills to receive the CM and Deputy CM R Ashoka and toured with him. Once the VIPs left to Bangalore at 1.30 pm, the DC hopped on to bicycle and attended an event hosted by the Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC) at Kalamandir, a stone's throwaway from his residence and pedaled to his office. However, he didn't use his tandem cycle.
MUDA commissioner C G Betsurmath too didn't give up cycling, his mode of transport since three Mondays now. He cycled to MUDA from his Kuvempunagar residence after he is done with the CM's protocol duties. He told TOI he got back home at 1.45 pm and took bicycle to work since he enjoyed it.
The officials said they were forced to use their vehicles since the CM was in the town. Like deputy director of information A R Prakash, who skipped cycling. There was no other option. But I'll compensate it either taking public transport or cycling one day this week, he stated.

Be sure to check out "I Won't Grow Up" an art exhibit opening tonight at Cheim & Reed in the Chelsea neighborhood in New York embracing childhood and the child-like mentality. The pieces are said to conjure up feelings of nostalgia through various media and their creative freedom. The lovely E.V. Day, who was featured in the October 2007 issue of BUST, will have her "Mummified Barbies" (which were also featured in the article) as part of the exhibit which we are totally stoked for! There are also pieces by Takashi Murakami (love!), Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat among many others. If you can't make it out tonight for the opening, not to worry... The exhibit will be going on until August 29th. Awesome!

DJ Le Clown – Stand on the Sledgehammer
My dear brothers and sisters,
Well this time, my latest mashup & video is dedicated to the Pussy Riot, which performance was for me the best gig ever on this poor planet of sheeps and politically correct thinking artists of this dark 21st century…Please Vladimir Free them ! Show your sense of humour to the world ! Or at least be clever…
Of course the main theme of the song was inspired by my best friend : God Himself – and I'd like to tell him: Thanks so much !
The chorus of the song « Stand on the World » sung by the great « joubert singers » is « that's how the good lord works! » which is really inspiring for a clown like me! Furthermore this song was used in France in a commercial for Galaxy Samsung phone whom slogan was :
» Designed for human » !!!
Well impossible to resist to such a good opportunity for me. Of course the way the good Lord works is not always what us humans are expecting from him (or her)! That's why I had to use in the video the good and the bad side of his work ! Cecil B Demille really great scene of Moses opening the sea (and killing thousands of « Bad » poor Egyptians!) was the first twisted idea that came into my pervert brain! Peter gabriel's song « Sledgehammer » worked so good with the « Panoptikum Akestra Remix » from the Joubert's song that I've used for the mix, that for a while, I thought I was blessed and that it was just a miracle !
Well I love Peter Gabriel, and anyway he's got the name of an angel isn't he? So I've used few angels in the video as well … As there's no videos of the Joubert singers available in Europe (don't know the F..why!) I had the idea to use my favorite rock movie ever « The blues brothers » famous churches scene featuring James Brown as a priest to replace the band ! That also gave me the opportunity to use the two bros' and their Mother superior as a nice and fresh intro in the video…That was it !
I'll have the pleasure to present this video Mashup for the first time in Poland during the filmowe podlasie atakuje festival in Poland, of course you're all invited !
Well hope you'll enjoy the mix; God bless you all…Amen
From DJ Le Clown

england to have a rematch against germany

You can't find any of them in the wild, unfortunately, so you need to pick up their second-stage forms instead: Deep Fry, Sharper-Parper, and Ghost Wisperer. Pick up these familiars and level them up to metamorphosis level, then return with them to Derwin.
Complete the game and then return to Ding Dong Dell to meet up with Derwin again, who needs more creatures. You need an Auric Collum, Spiked Turtle, and Grubby Fug. Collect them and return to Derwin for your spoils.
Once you unlock the alchemy pot in Castaway Cove, you need to create a Candle Cutter. You need an Emberstone and Flint Dagger for this. Emberstones can be gathered by finding monsters to slay in the Shimmering Sands, and you can buy a Flint Dagger in Al Mamoon. Use the two ingredients via Mix and Match and create a Candle Cutter, then give it to the little girl in Al Mamoon.
After going to the future in Hamelin, you can find some NPCs up in the forest in Shipwreck Shore. They're participating in some alchemy. There, you'll be asked to make a Royal Spear. You can find the formula to craft it in your Wizard's Book, and it requires 2 jade marbles, 2 Shadowglass, and two lumps of raw steel. Get it all together in the cauldron and return to the people in the forest to be rewarded.
Once you finish the game, continue. The alchemy master of the Shimmering Sands can teach Oliver additional alchemy recipes here if you do his errand. He'll have a handful of crafting assignments for you. You need to make a Demon's Ax first, so you'll need a Grand Ax, Black Wings x2, and Tachestone x3. Once you've made the Demon's Ax, give it to the alchemist. He'll ask you to combine it with a Kaleidostone and Scroll of Truth to get a War God's Ax. Your ingredients are: Scroll of Truth x5, Kaleidostone x5, and Demon's Ax. Talk to him after doing so for a reward.
Once you defeat Hickory Doc, you can find a larger man by the Ding Dong Dell Inn who's lost his diary. Recover the diary on an island northwest of Ding Dong Dell, bring it back to the man, and find your reward.
Once you defeat Moltan in Old Smokey, you can find a man who's lost his diary by the entrance to Cowliphate's palace. The diary will be by the foot of Old Smokey. Search along the crack in the trail until you see an exclamation point over Oliver's head, and the diary will be there. Go back to the man in Al Mamoon to cash in.

There is no question in my mind that his reducing the top rate by 20% would shift the burden of taxation from the super rich to the...........well it gotta be the middle class. Let's not insult the intelligence of the American people. Let be honest about this. Alas I think a lot of people can be fooled.... whether it is flat tax, fair tax, "revenue neutral" reduction of 20% in rates, 999, consumption tax, ......no matter what the Republicans propose the results is to give a huge break to the super rich on the back of the middle class. That some in the middle class do not see this to be the case is actually saddening. |

Oh, the straw poor. They can go pound sand. |
Most of the refunds are based on two credits that can refund more than you paid in income taxes: the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit. The EITC was created by Nixon (Republican) and greatly expanded by Reagan (King Republican) because Reagan increased those "other" taxes on the middle and lower earners, Social Security and Medicare (and they still pay gas, sales, property, etc. etc. etc.) taxes. The purpose of the refund over and above what you paid in income tax was you were paying a much higher percentage of your total income when the new SS and Medicare taxes were figured in, so the rebate helped cover that part. Reagan didn't mince words when asked about the EITC refund. He called it:
In sum, Republican thinkers here and elsewhere want to roll back "the best job creation, anti-poverty, and pro-family measure" (his words, not mine) of the term of the greatest Republican president of the modern era because.. well, you'd have to ask them. No opinions there. That's just the facts. Last edited by loop610bob; 10-05-2012 at 11:19 AM.. |
I always hear the term "fair share" but.. when I go to the supermarket.. or store whatever. I pay my fair share.. so does the bum behind me and millionaire in the back. We all pay the same percent are taxed (at a state level) of what we purchase. Who pays the most is who spends the most.. rich have more so they spend more or buy more expensive items. What's always proposed defies the definition of the term "fair" at least in a mathematical aspect. Really there's only one way to fix our budget and deficit issue.. and that's raise taxes across the board. Even maybe a VAT. I'm all for that.. but the government best become more financially responsible with their money if they think they're going to get more out of me. I was considering regulations and how states and federal government regulate and over-regulate the private sector. Yet the group who splurges and put themself in the most financial distress and could possibly be the most damaging to the people is the federal government. So where's the agency to monitor government spending.. Apparently we need a new level to regulate the government but has no political ties. |
Something great may happen this year in that people like you who feel it's appropriate to take more from others and give to those less fortunate can actually do something about it. You will likely be able to pay extra $ on your tax return. Please let us all know, oh generous one, how much additional $ you pay in above what is already taken out. |
You should just reply to livinsc then. He may or may not be low class though ( dodged the question). Last edited by vaultaddict; 10-05-2012 at 11:41 AM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
Are you schizophrenic, because either you feel that those people who earn $ should pay more in taxes so the poor can mooch more off society or you don't and well your own posts seem to contradict themselves. Why don't you stop playing both sides and actually state what you think. Whoa, there's an idea! |

Plan B at OpenMoko: Remaining Developers Let Go
In a message to the community, OpenMoko CEO Sean Moss-Pultz explained how things with the open source mobile phone are to go from this point on.
As befits most good businessmen, Moss-Pultz congratulated all for their past good work and didn't spare any praise:
"We've always said that the talent and creativity of those outside the company is superior to that inside the company... We've opened up more than any other phone, from any other company, in the history of this industry. Every time we chose openness over internal control, we have been rewarded."
Consequently OpenMoko will now (finally) deed the entire Freerunner hardware specification as far as possible to the community. In fact, all of openmoko.org, including the website, wiki, branding and trademarks, and all remaining designs will be handed over. Moss-Pultz's company will continue to act as sponsor for outside development and "will start another effort on an altogether different type of device."
Even if community members and former OpenMoko-ers have already begun building a mobile phone based on the new specification and free hardware components from OpenMoko, Moss-Pultz's announcement indicates the final bowing out of the company in its own development of the device. Meanwhile "plenty" of Freerunner A7s are still in stock for a good price.

DETROIT — A slow start, confusingly so particularly given what happened a year ago. A downward spiral during which frustration built, perhaps to the point of being counterproductive. Almost four months left with which to turn things around, though time might already be running out if the goal is to get back to the same point as last year.
This Red Sox team? Or Daniel Nava?
"It's not how you start, it's how you finish," Nava said late Saturday night in the visitors' clubhouse at Comerica Park. "That's not just for me. It also can be for this whole team."
Tasked with facing Max Scherzer in his second start in more than a week, Nava reached base four times in five plate appearances on Saturday night. It was the first time in this difficult season he'd done that.
He reached base four times in a game on 10 occasions last season, including three in September. But that was a season when Nava ranked among the American League leaders in on-base percentage — looking more like a potential All-Star than a former equipment manager. He got on base at a .385 clip for the entire season, second only to David Ortiz among Red Sox regulars, and he slugged a respectable .445.
Coming into this season, coming off that level of production, Nava looked more like a potential leadoff hitter than a player who was anywhere near the roster bubble.
But with Jackie Bradley Jr. asserting himself with his defensive wizardly as an everyday center fielder — he made another breathtaking catch Saturday night, robbing Victor Martinez of extra bases at the center-field fence — and Grady Sizemore playing well enough at least to justify continuing to give him opportunities, Nava found himself the odd man out before April was over. He was hitting .149 with a .240 on-base percentage when he was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket on April 21.
"(I was) not taking what I guess you can call your 'A' swing," he said. "For me, it wasn't an everyday struggle, but sometimes, more often than not, I was getting myself into a count where I wasn't taking good swings — pressing or whatever. There were a lot of factors."
Even after an injury to Shane Victorino created roster space for him to be recalled, Nava still didn't play much. The lefthanded-hitting Sizemore continued to get the bulk of the at-bats that Nava — a better hitter against righties than against lefties — would have gotten last season. But with Sizemore still carrying a batting average around .220 and an on-base percentage below .300, it seemed inevitable that Nava would get his chance eventually.
One of those chances came Saturday night against Scherzer. Nava singled three times — all to left field, his most natural stroke — and was hit by a pitch, boosting his on-base percentage by 30 points within a single game.
As was the case when he drew a walk to spark a rally in Atlanta, it was a performance reminiscent of what Nava did for the Red Sox last season.
"We need that type of approach, that type of production out of Daniel," John Farrell said.
"It's a great sign," Dustin Pedroia said. "When he got a good pitch to hit, he drove it. It's a great sign."
Even better, Nava's swing started to feel more comfortable and natural again.
"When I got called back up, I wasn't focusing on results," he said. "I was really trying to take better swings and focusing on that, the process, just having to hang in there until stuff started to fall. Fortunately a couple fell tonight. "
"When he stays inside the ball, as he did tonight, that's when we feel like he's taking his best path through the strike zone," Farrell said.
More chances will come in the next few days. Farrell said that he expects Nava to play again on Sunday night, probably in right field, and again at least twice in Baltimore when the Orioles send Bud Norris and Chris Tillman to the mound.
Whether Nava will replicate what he did last season remains to be seen. He's certainly not going to finish the year with a .385 on-base percentage. Even four months that match what he's done in his career this point would get him only up around .340 or .350.
But the first two months are history — for Nava as well as for a Boston team now seven games under .500 and still 10 games behind the first-place Toronto Blue Jays. Even a run of .600 baseball the rest of the way would only get the Red Sox to 87-88 wins, probably not enough for a wild-card berth.
All Nava can do is look forward and produce as best he can in the time remaining. Being bitter about what has transpired or trying to do too much both would only be impediments.
The same goes for the rest of the foundering Red Sox.
"Whether I go 3-for-3, 2-for-2, whatever it is, it's not about that for me," he said. "It's focusing on the approach and sticking with some good things. Hopefully things work out for us — and for me as well."

Stocks tumbled, extending the biggest weekly loss of the year for global equities, after U.S. employers added fewer jobs than forecast and services and manufacturing output in the euro region shrank more than estimated. Treasuries rose and oil plunged below $100 a barrel.
The MSCI All-Country World Index lost 1.5 percent at 4 p.m. New York time, extending its weekly plunge to 2.4 percent. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index sank 1.6 percent and lost 2.4 percent in the week, also its worst since December. The 10-year U.S. Treasury note yield fell five basis points to 1.88 percent. Oil dropped as much as 5 percent to lead commodities to their biggest three-day slide since September. The Dollar Index (DXY) rose for a fifth straight day, its longest advance in seven months.
Concern that weakening economic data will drag stocks lower in May for a third straight year grew after Labor Department data showed payrolls climbed by 115,000 in April, the smallest gain in six months and less than the median economist forecast of 160,000. A purchasing managers index in Europe dropped to 46.7, below the initial estimate of 47.4, London-based Markit Economics said today.
"The data point to sluggish job growth, declining labor market participation and for those employed, stagnant purchasing power," Mohamed El-Erian, the chief executive officer of Pacific Investment Management Co., said in an e-mail today. "Consumption, as a growth engine, is less dynamic at a time when headwinds from Europe and a potential fiscal cliff are still material."
Jobs Report
The Labor Department report showed private payrolls, which exclude government agencies, rose 130,000 after a revised gain of 166,000. They were projected to rise by 165,000, the survey showed. Factory payrolls grew by 16,000, the smallest in five months and less than the survey forecast of a 20,000 increase. The jobless rate unexpectedly fell to a three-year low of 8.1 percent as people left the labor force, while average hourly earnings rose a less-than-forecast 1.8 percent from last year.
Bank of America Corp., Cisco Systems Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Microsoft Corp. lost at least 2.4 percent to lead the Dow Jones Industrial Average down as much as 168.32 points to 13,038.27 as all 30 stocks retreated. Technology and energy companies fell the most among the 10 main S&P 500 groups, with utilities the only industry to advance. LinkedIn Corp. (LNKD:US) jumped 7.2 percent as the biggest professional-networking website reported sales and profit (LNKD:US) that topped analyst estimates.
Of the 419 companies in the index that have reported so far in the earnings season, 71 percent have posted per-share profit that topped estimates, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
'Deja Vu'
Today's slump trimmed the S&P 500's advance for 2012 to about less than 9 percent. The index has lost 3.5 percent since its four-year high on April 2, spurring bears to predict the gauge will mirror retreats of at least 15 percent from April peaks in 2010 and 2011 as economic growth slows. Birinyi Associates Inc., Northern Trust Corp. and Wells Capital Management say increasing investor anxiety is a contrarian sign that will give way to a rally after record profits left shares 10 percent cheaper than a year earlier.
"The specifics of the report aside, we're getting a feeling of deja vu here," Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at broker-dealer BTIG LLC in New York, said in a report. "Weak job growth and weak income growth is most unwelcome especially at a time when so many were banking on the exact opposite.
Treasury 10-year yields declined six basis points over the last five days in a seventh straight weekly decline, matching the longest stretch since the end of 2008. Thirty-year yields slid five basis points to 3.07 percent today and rates on two- year debt were little changed at 0.26 percent.
European Elections
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index lost 1.8 percent today to extend this week's retreat to 2.4 percent. Wacker Chemie AG, the second-biggest producer of solar-grade silicon, fell 6.1 percent in Frankfurt after saying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for fiscal 2012 are expected to be ''well below'' the previous year.
European stocks fell as France, Germany and Greece prepared for elections this weekend. French voters go to the polls in a final runoff between President Nicolas Sarkozy and Socialist challenger Francois Hollande, while Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel's party risks losing control of a state in a regional ballot. Greeks pick a new government in a national election.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (MXEF) dropped 1.1 percent. India's Sensex Index sank 1.9 percent as the rupee weakened, spurring concern the government may find it hard to cool inflation and curb the fiscal deficit. The Micex Index lost 3.6 percent in Moscow, erasing its gain for the year.
Dollar Rallies
The dollar strengthened against all 16 major peers except the Japanese yen, which rallied versus all major counterparts. The U.S. currency climbed 0.5 percent to $1.3084 versus the euro as the shared currency weakened for a fifth straight day, its longest slump since September.
The S&P GSCI gauge of 24 commodities dropped 2.4 percent and extended its three-day loss to 5 percent, its worst slump in seven months. Crude also fell for a third day, the longest streak in four weeks, tumbling 3.9 percent to $98.49 a barrel in New York.
''We're in a situation where, quite frankly, the data is going to dictate what happens going forward and I suspect the data is going to be pretty choppy for a while," Michael Hanson, senior economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, told Bloomberg Television. "The fundamentals in the economy, I think, still haven't fully recovered. And so I think the market is going to reflect that and we're going to be choppy in the market for a little while going forward."

We are in IL and hoping to move this summer to TN. Here we have lots of snakes but none are poisonous (hmm- we are 30 min. from Iowa where they have poisonous species -- guess they can't swim across the Mississippi.) For some reason, we don't have poison ivy but plenty of poison hemlock. Japanese beetles completely decimated my hibiscus/Rose of Sharon and apple trees last year. Deer here are plentiful but don't bother my gardens. We have two labs but even at night the deer don't come munching. Also, rabbits seem to leave my gardens alone. Lots of moles and voles but don't see any damage. What will I have to look out for? We are hoping to buy in a rural area with acreage. Do I have to be concerned about wild pigs? Coyotes? Bears? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Voles - awful little things that will eat up your plants like they are at a buffet. They are particularly attracted to expensive or well-loved plants. Moles - dig little tunnels everywhere and make your yard look like a mess. They build tunnels that the voles use to get near your valuable plants. Groundhogs - ever lost a leg in one of their large holes? Ever got a tractor stuck in one? Deer - will eat at everything even if they don't actually finish their meal. They love yanking small plants out of the ground and leaving them for you to find just after you examine the serious damage they've done to one of your trees. Snakes - don't usually bother too much, just scare you to death when you don't see them until you almost step on them. Wild turkeys - love building nests in flowerbeds and in mulched areas around trees. They'll dig and make a real mess. I still feel sick when I run over one of their nests with babies, when I don't see them in time. The list could go on and on, but those are the ones I run into most frequently. |

OK, we have all of those here and maybe the deer don't bother my gardens because our acreage is surrounded by corn/soybean fields. The dogs keep most animals away during the day. Just wondered if there are any problems with TN gardening that we are not used to in northern IL. |
West and middle Tennessee has armadillos. I've heard they were supposed to be here in east Tennessee soon. I don't know how much of a problem they are compared to say groundhogs. |
- Posted by absinthe21 6 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 24, 14 at 12:09
We have rabbits- lots of them We have skunks, possums and raccoons, but they usually leave gardens alone. Your trash cans are a completely different matter and will be considered fair game! We have lots of snakes- most are not poisonous and harmless, but we do have rattlesnakes, and if your property is close to water at all, you may see copperheads and water moccasins. (I'm giving myself the shudders just typing this out. HATE SNAKES.) I have maybe seen two armadillos in my entire life and I was born and raised in Middle TN. Your main gardening problem that you won't have in IL is RED CLAY. Composting is your friend! |

Yes, occasionally black bears wander through, foxes, coyotes, opossums, raccoons, raptor birds (owls, hawks), giant ugly rats, cute cotton rats, snakes...and I live smack downtown! Keep your pets safely in a fenced area, preferably with a lid on it! We don't get deer downtown. No pigs. Armadillos and voles will go away if you get rid of the grubs they eat with milky spore. I love all the critters. |
No, Voles don't eat grubs! Milky spore attack grubs (Moles' food source) and are unlikely to have any effect on the vole population. Voles are what eat your plants, so milky spore probably won't do much for your garden. Moles damage yards by digging tunnels, so milky spore may be useful for them. BTW, Topsiebeezelbub, what city do you live in with all those critters downtown? |
I'm having an issue with Moles... so far (yesterday morning) i've used 2 gallons of soapy water with hot sauce in it. mothballs and juicy fruit. anyone have any better ideas? i have pets so no poison.... and rather not buy traps. |
We live in one of the most mole infested areas in Nashville and they are particularly active this year. The only way to get rid of them is to use mole traps. And if you have a dog that is helpful also. They run at noon. Sometimes you can see them move and you can scoop them out with a shovel. Then you have to decide. Is it really humane to release the mole so he can dig up your neighbor's yard? The other option is to kill them. I'm pretty sure that this breeds a race of super moles. If you have the time and the know how, you can make mole skin gloves. Their hide is a nice shade of gray and very, very soft. |

After buying their first canoe in 1942, Chester and Stella Heavner were hooked. So were their friends. After constantly loaning out their red-canvas Old Town canoe, the pair invested in two more and started charging a nominal rental fee. In 1953, they made it official with a patch of riverfront property, eight canoes, and a trailer.
Today, Heavner Canoe & Kayak Rental is run by Chester and Stella's eldest son, Alan. He and his staff manage an inventory of more than 200 canoes and kayaks, which they rent at three locations along the Huron River.
Colorful skeins of yarn line the walls at The Knitting Circle, where knitting enthusiasts and first-timers alike can acquire supplies or sit down for some knitting or crocheting in a comfy area.

For DIYers, The Knitting Circle offers all of the patterns, accessories, and books necessary to get started on a new project or finish an old one.
The Lakes Bar & Grille calms appetites with a menu comprising a wide variety of grilled meats, perfectly cooked seafood, and plentiful entrees. Blackberry chicken takes center stage by singing a song of house-made blackberry pan sauce, surrounded by a supporting cast of vegetables and a potato cameo ($15.95).
