Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. Atwood is one of my favorite authors so I pushed through this book at parts where I might have given up had it been written by others. In the end, I am glad to reach the end; however, I had no idea this is the first in a trilogy and am bereft without a conclusion to the story. Authors! This is a very dark but worth reading series. The dystopian elements of the story reflect a touch to close to our current American society for comfort. This first book is in my opinion the darkest. The characters are bizarre in a very interesting way, in fact they could be funny if they weren't so horrifyingly depressing. Keep reading, this series is some of the best science fiction I've ever read and by far Atwood's best writing. Margaret Atwood is a very creative and diverse talent. Oryx and Crake is part of a trilogy that deals with a post apocalypse world caused by a pandemic. It is told in flash backs. I read the 2nd novel(The Year of the Flood) 1st. I enjoyed it but I like this one better. I definitely recommend reading them in order. The 3rd part just came out(MadAdam) and I will read that. The book combines so many issues that we are dealing with now with Ebola, Global warming etc. It deals with genetic engineering and the economic gaps between rich and poor. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but this is a great book. Read it!!! Ugh After taking more than half the book to actually get into this story, I ended up really liking the MaddAddam world. I won't say love, because it took me too long to even decide if I liked it or not. I read the last page before even realizing it was the last page and my reaction was, "That's it?!? I need the second book!"
Oryx and Crake is a piece of dystopian fiction written from the point of Snowman (known as Jimmy in his former life) – the last human left on Earth. At least, he believes he's the last human left on Earth until the end of the book. I found the parts of the book describing Snowman's journey to Paradice (the dome in the compound where Crake did his work) to be a lot less interesting than his recollections of his previous life as Jimmy. I loved reading about how Jimmy and Crake met, the little signs that Crake gave off as to what he might be planning and the direction his thoughts might take in the future (though Jimmy didn't recognize these until it was too late), etc. Crake is really the star of the show in this book in my mind – Jimmy simply acts as a vessel for us to learn about a character who is dead and who therefore cannot teach us about himself. Snowman's adventures in real time seem almost pointless to me. Why not dedicate the whole book to Jimmy's friendship with Crake, with just a bit of general explanation as to what's going on now? I think the present would have been much more interesting if the Crakers were explored more than Jimmy's struggle to survive and come to grips with what Crake had done. On the whole, however, I thought it was a great book. Set sometime in the future, this post-apocalyptic novel takes scientific research in the hands of madmen to its logical and frightening conclusion. Inspiring readers to pay more attention to the world around them, Atwood offers cautionary notes about the environment, bioengineering, the sacrifice of civil liberties, and the possible loss of those human values which make life more than just a physical experience. As the novel opens, some catastrophe has occurred, effectively wiping out human life. Only one lonely survivor and a handful of genetically altered humanoids remain, and they are slowly starving as they try to adjust to their changed circumstances. In Margaret Atwood's first attempt at writing a novel, the main character was an ant swept downriver on a raft. She abandoned that book after the opening scene and became caught up in other activities, which she has described as ''sissy stuff like knitting and dresses and stuffed bunnies.'' That certainly does not sound like Ms. Atwood, who is known for the boldness of her fiction. Of course she was only 7 at the time. Margaret Atwood has always taken a jaundiced view of human nature. Back when her mordant observations about marriage and other relations between the sexes had her marked down as a feminist, she took pains to fire off several novels in a row featuring weak, manipulative, dishonest and outright bad women, partly to prove that her skepticism was distributed fairly. She has always been of the opinion that people are a mixed bag of the occasionally decent and the frequently mendacious and that there's not much anyone can do to change that fact. Genetic tinkering. Rampant profiteering. A deadly virus that sweeps the globe. Are these last Tuesday's headlines or our future? In Margaret Atwood's novel Oryx and Crake, the answer is both. For Atwood, our future is the catastrophic sum of our oversights. It's a depressing view, saved only by Atwood's biting, black humor and absorbing storytelling.
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (2)Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0385721676, Paperback)In Oryx and Crake, a science fiction novel that is more Swift than Heinlein, more cautionary tale than "fictional science" (no flying cars here), Margaret Atwood depicts a near-future world that turns from the merely horrible to the horrific, from a fool's paradise to a bio-wasteland. Snowman (a man once known as Jimmy) sleeps in a tree and just might be the only human left on our devastated planet. He is not entirely alone, however, as he considers himself the shepherd of a group of experimental, human-like creatures called the Children of Crake. As he scavenges and tends to his insect bites, Snowman recalls in flashbacks how the world fell apart.While the story begins with a rather ponderous set-up of what has become a clichéd landscape of the human endgame, littered with smashed computers and abandoned buildings, it takes on life when Snowman recalls his boyhood meeting with his best friend Crake: "Crake had a thing about him even then.... He generated awe ... in his dark laconic clothing." A dangerous genius, Crake is the book's most intriguing character. Crake and Jimmy live with all the other smart, rich people in the Compounds--gated company towns owned by biotech corporations. (Ordinary folks are kept outside the gates in the chaotic "pleeblands.") Meanwhile, beautiful Oryx, raised as a child prostitute in Southeast Asia, finds her way to the West and meets Crake and Jimmy, setting up an inevitable love triangle. Eventually Crake's experiments in bioengineering cause humanity's shockingly quick demise (with uncanny echoes of SARS, ebola, and mad cow disease), leaving Snowman to try to pick up the pieces. There are a few speed bumps along the way, including some clunky dialogue and heavy-handed symbols such as Snowman's broken watch, but once the bleak narrative gets moving, as Snowman sets out in search of the laboratory that seeded the world's destruction, it clips along at a good pace, with a healthy dose of wry humor. --Mark Frutkin, Amazon.ca (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:23:16 -0400) Snowman, known as Jimmy before mankind was overwelmed by a plaque, is struggling to survive in a world where he may be the only human left on our devastated planet, and mourning the loss of his best friend, Crake, and the beautiful and elusive Oryx whom they both loved. He is not entirely alone, however, as he considers himself the shepherd of a group of experimental, human-like creatures called the Children of Crake. In search of answers, Snowman embarks on a journey, with the help of the green-eyed Children of Crake, through the wilderness that was so recently a great city, until powerful corporations took mankind on an uncontrolled genetic engineering ride. As he scavenges and tends to his insect bites, Snowman recalls in flashbacks how the world fell apart.… (more) (summary from another edition) |

Steve Nash, 2005 NBA MVP: Sure, his 15.5 points per game is the lowest average for an MVP since Wes Unseld in 1969, but the Suns did jump from 29 wins to 62 wins and runner-up Shaq was hardly an obvious selection. Rich Gannon, 2002 NFL MVP: The Raiders led the NFL in points and reached the Super Bowl as Gannon led the NFL with 4,689 passing yards. Karl Malone, 1997 NBA MVP: Cited as another example of the voters bypassing Michael Jordan, Malone actually had the best PER of his career (No. 1 in the NBA) and Utah won 64 games. Of course, MJ got his revenge. Terry Pendleton, 1991 NL MVP: Pendleton interrupted Barry Bonds' MVP run of 1990, '92-93, but his numbers (.319-22-86) weren't as pedestrian then as they look now. And don't chalk it up as a one-year fluke: He finished second in the MVP voting the following season. Jeff Burroughs, 1974 AL MVP: Burroughs won in part because Joe Rudi, Sal Bando and Reggie Jackson of the A's finished 2-3-4 in the voting. But the Rangers jumped from 57 to 84 wins and Burroughs was third in the AL in OBP and slugging and first in RBI. |

Glasgow Warriors v Scarlets - RaboDirect PRO12 match preview
Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend has made a number of changes to his line-up for the visit of the Scarlets.
Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend has made a number of changes to his line-up for the visit of the Scarlets on Friday.
Winger DTH van der Merwe, scrum-half Chris Cusiter and fly-half Ruaridh Jackson come into the back division following the agonising 18-10 loss to Ulster.
Townsend has made a further four changes to his pack - with an all-new front row of Ryan Grant, Pat MacArthur and Moray Low, while John Barclay comes in at openside flanker.
Scarlets coach Simon Easterby has made just three changes to his 23-man squad for the trip to Glasgow.
Johnathan Edwards, Peter Edwards and Adam Warren return for the Scarlets after missing the opening-day win over Leinster.
Johnathan Edwards starts in the back-row, with Rhys Priestland, Jonathan Davies and Matthew Rees promoted to the starting XV. Peter Edwards and Warren start on the bench alongside Ken Owens and Aled Thomas.
Glasgow: 15 Peter Murchie, 14 DTH van der Merwe, 13 Alex Dunbar, 12 Graeme Morrison, 11 Sean Lamont, 10 Ruaridh Jackson, 9 Chris Cusiter, 8 Ryan Wilson, 7 John Barclay, 6 Rob Harley, 5 Al Kellock, 4 Tom Ryder, 3 Moray Low, 1 Ryan Grant, 2 Pat MacArthur.
Replacements: 16 Dougie Hall, 17 Mike Cusack, 18 Gordon Reid, 19 James Eddie, 20 Chris Fusaro, 21 Henry Pyrgos, 22 Duncan Weir, 23 Peter Horne.

What they said...
Glasgow head coach Gregor Townsend
"As ever, we've selected a team with one objective in mind: winning the match. The quality and depth of our squad is reflected by the guys we're able to bring in this week, all of whom know they have to deliver with so many other players breathing down their necks.
"That's particularly the case in a position like wing. We're delighted to welcome back DTH van der Merwe, an experienced, quality campaigner coming into the side in a role where Tommy Seymour performed very well last week.
"Similarly in the front row, we're lucky to have a number of really good options. Ryan Grant and Moray Low both performed very well off the bench in Ulster, as did John Barclay, Chris Cusiter and Ruaridh Jackson, all of whom start this week."
Scarlets forwards coach Danny Wilson
"We've had a good look at the Warriors and their game last weekend, they were a very dogged side, and they'll put a lot of pressure on in the contact area. We know we'll have to be sharp this weekend - it's going to be a tough fixture as their opening game in the new home and they'll want to bounce back from their loss last weekend.
"We are under no illusion as to what we are facing - they were a very strong side last season and reached the semi-finals just ahead of us by a couple of points. But we're confident in what we can bring, the players are gelling well and know they have to back up what they achieved last weekend."

text: KRXI FOX 11 Reno - Search Results The following is an archived video story. The text content of that video story is available below for reference. The original video has been deleted and is no longer available. Reno man arrested for allegedly killing several small dogsRENO, Nev. -- A Reno man has been arrested on charges of alleged animal cruelty after animal remains were discovered in his motel room. 24-year-old Jason Shilo Brown is being accused of killing several small dogs at the motel in south Reno.According to the Washoe County Sheriff's Office, the investigation is ongoing, but they believe no one else was involved. The biggest question detectives are investigating is why. "Because at this point we have a lot of unknown questions," said Undersheriff Tim Kuzanek. "But again, he is in custody and we don't any reason to believe there was anyone else out there involved in this particular case."Brown was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of animal cruelty. He is being charged with five felony counts of willful torture of an animal. The incident happened at the Super 8 motel off south Virginia Street, across from the Meadowood Mall.Employees notified police Tuesday after seeing the unthinkable. "Upon arriving there, along with animal control officers, they located several dismembered dogs inside the room," said Kuzanek.Kuzanek said it is unknown where the dogs came from. "Our investigators are working through that process, trying to determine where he was able to obtain these animals and well let you know when we figure that out."Thanks to Cooney's Law, signed by Governor Brian Sandoval in 2011, cruelty to animals always carries a felony charge, so Brown could potentially face up to 35 years in prison. "The five felony counts individually could result in penalties up to seven years in prison a piece," said Kuzanek.Brown has also been charged with one count of possession of a controlled substance. Kuzanek said this case is a big priority for the Sheriff's Office. "We're going to resolve this case and we're going to continue to protect animals and try to prevent animal cruelty in every way that we can going forward."Brown is currently being held in the Washoe County Jail and his bail has been set at $55,000. Kuzanek said it is unknown when the case will be concluded and no court date has been set.Anyone with information related to the case is asked to contact Secret Witness at (775) 322-4900.

If models are made for modeling
Thick girls are made for cuddlin'
from Frank Ocean (Ft. André 3000) – Pink Matter Lyrics on Genius
Models are too skinny, so hes saying thick girls are the type he prefers — there's more there
Kanye also expressed an idea similar to this when he rapped "Fat bitches swallowin, skinny bitches modelin." Here Andre 3000 is saying that skinny girls are vapid and lack the emotional depth he's looking for, they're just arm candy who are good for show. Thick girls on the other hand "are made for cuddlin'", there are not shallow (in the physical and emotional sense!) and are thus much more suited to real relationships. Goes along with the belief that "real women have curves".

Fresh bread can quickly become hard or spongy if left out or placed in a plastic bag. A linen bread bag actually keeps it fresher longer and helps it maintain that crunchy outer crust. Whether you are baking your own loaf or heading to the local market, this bag is a must for the country kitchen.
A summer breakfast would not be complete without fresh, in-season berries, such as blackberries, blueberries and strawberries. This stainless steel colander's small size will fit perfectly on a crowded morning table. Set it on an open shelf as decor when not in use.
This glass milk bottle has nostalgic details that will be just the right touch for any country home. Milk may not be home delivered anymore, but your breakfast table can still feel like it comes from another era.
These small teak spoons are the perfect size for dipping into jam or honey jars. And the two-toned color gives a modern twist on the classic wood spoon.
A kitchen is always in need of towels for wiping up messes, drying hands and doing the dishes. This linen towel is absorbent but lightweight, and the classic navy stripe is just the accessory for a country kitchen. You can also spread this towel out on the table and use it as a small tablecloth or place setting.
This beautiful set of linen napkins is hand-screened with illustrations by Melinda Josie. The artist has depicted a small collection of pussy willow branches. Be inspired by the artwork at breakfast and then go out into the country with your own sketchbook. Search for local floral and plant varieties and bring them home to display in glass jars.
Juice oranges in the morning for a tart treat. This juicer also works as a pitcher and has an easy-pour spout. The measurements make it convenient for baking too.
Spend your summer days out in the berry patches and take along these vintage balsa wood baskets to carry home all of your loot. The rustic patina of these baskets adds to the charm. You could also use them as organizers in the kitchen for holding fruit, spice jars or utensils.
These zinc pots have a corroded, industrial feel and would make unique canisters for growing kitchen herbs. Display them along a window ledge and allow herbs to grow for a wild, untamed appeal. Keep these pots in the kitchen and snip off leaves when you need to spice up your recipes.
This simple white pitcher is perfect for morning orange juice or milk. I like juicing a lot of oranges at once and keeping the juice cool in the refrigerator so I can get refreshing sips throughout the day.
My favorite part about making scones is getting to use the bristle brush to wipe on an egg wash and then to dust the scones with sugar. This is the last step before baking to add a hint of sweetness to buttermilk scones. You can also use it to brush glazes, sauces, butter and oil onto baked goods and prepared meals.
This coffee mill is actually attached to a classic Ball mason jar. If you use mason jars around your country home already, then this mill will fit right in. The hand-constructed grinder has cast iron and walnut features, and will help extract all the intricate flavors from your coffee beans.
These blue rim enamel tumblers appear to be straight from the summer campsite. Enamelware is durable and easy to clean so it is perfect for camping and picnics. But this tumbler is simple and beautiful enough to be used inside as well. The stackable design makes for easy storage too.
Rice baskets are traditionally used to haul rice to the market, but this basket would be a handy tool to have around the house. Throw dirty laundry into it; turn it into a picnic basket and carry out food and utensils; store extra toys in there. The top half of the basket is collapsible for convenient storage, and the lovely form and woven reed material would make a stand-out decor piece.
Keep your coffee warm throughout the morning. This beautifully-designed pot has enamel coating over steel that is thermally efficient.
Mornings by the lake can be brisk, making it hard to pull yourself out of bed. On those days, head to the breakfast table wrapped in these super-soft wool blankets. Or, snuggle up under them at night as you watch for shooting stars or roast s'mores over a fire.
This ceramic sugar bowl has a ton of handmade charm and comes complete with a bamboo spoon. The handwritten label makes it easy to locate in a bustling and lively kitchen. The lid has a simple, stripe design, and it also helps keep out moisture.
Keep your morning coffee routine organized with this java set — a little white creamer and sugar bowl. Even if you drink your coffee black, it is nice to offer up the option for your guests.
Stop wasting paper bags for use as lunch sacks. This enamel lunch box is an ecofriendly alternative that is made using a traditional labor-intensive process. The enamel surface is nonporous, so the material is hygienic. If you have a lot of leftovers from breakfast, then take them with you on your hike or bike ride for an easy on-the-go lunch.
The cottage summer experience would not be complete without a sit in a classic porch rocker. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee as you rock and slowly plan your day, or catch up with family at the evening's end. These rockers are comfortable, durable and just the thing for a country porch.

Deadly Ledley can go to World Cup - Harry
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is convinced Ledley King will go to this summer's World Cup in South Africa with England. After missing the recent win over Chelsea due to his notoriously fragile knees, King returned to the Spurs line-up at Manchester United on Saturday and scored with a header that seemed set to give his side a precious point. United's late double-salvo put paid to that idea but the memory of his fine block on Dimitar Berbatov will live on for a while and England coach Franco Baldini is bound to pass on positive reports to Fabio Capello when he next sees the Three Lions coach. If Redknapp was picking the squad, he would have no doubts about King's selection. And when he comes to name his final 23, the Spurs boss does not believe Capello will either. "I think he will go to the World Cup," said Redknapp. "Ledley can play every six days and there are six days between games at the World Cup. "He would have to be handled right, and Fabio would need to take advice from our medical staff about that because if you didn't you would break him. "But he is so important. He makes a massive difference to us and a fantastic character to have around. "Imagine how good he would have been without the injury. He would have been unbelievable because he is at the top level now without training."

PGP Desktop Professional installation if PGP WDE is already installed
Hi, I already have PGP WDE installed in my laptop, but I'll need to install PGP Desktop Professional for email purpose. I'm wondering if I need to uninstall PGP WDE before, or if it will be seen as an upgrade. Thanks.
Comments 4 Comments • Jump to latest comment
The PGP Desktop package is the same software despite which components you license for use. You can only have one license in use at a time, so you are wanting to upgrade your license. I'd suggest talking with Sales or Customer Care to identify what license you need for your intended use.
When you consider your issue resolved, please click Mark As Solution on the most helpful response.
To be more precise, I'm working for a Corporate that furnish us with PGP WDE, but not for email, and the "License" field is locked. So, we can not change the license number. We are a small group that needs email encryption also. Can we install PGP Desktop Email over PGP WDE, or, as your previous answer, it is the same problem and it can only have one license in use at a time. Thanks.
Both WDE and PGP Messaging are components of PGP Desktop. So you already have the software for email encryption for both installed. It is a licensing problem that you need resolved. Simply reinstalling the software will not help with this. Perhaps your corporate IT department that is responsible for locking your licensing can assist you with obtaining and using the license you need. It would seem that they are purposely preventing you from changing the license on your own.

Changing tides in Dubai
From old to new, Dubai has a variety of markets with authentic goods. (Andrew Montgomery)
Dubai keeps rising like a mirage out of the desert, but it's not all just for show – take a trip in a water taxi to the souqs and see for yourself.
The malls
Air-conditioned shopping malls symbolise Dubai to the rest of the world in much the same way that pyramids represent Egypt.
With more than 70 shopping malls, Dubai – the most populous of the seven emirates in the UAE, with by far the largest number of tourists – is rightly considered to be the shopping capital of the Middle East.
Consider these facts relating to the emirate's greatest palace of commerce, the Dubai Mall: it is the world's largest shopping centre by floor area, with 1,200 shops and more than 160 food and drink outlets spread across 548,000 square metres; it contains the Dubai Aquarium, where shoppers are separated from a giant tank holding 33,000 marine creatures by the world's largest viewing panel; and the entire complex sits at the foot of the tallest building on Earth – about which more later.
Dubai Mall's Olympic-sized ice-skating rink is trumped by the indoor ski slope at the rival Mall of the Emirates, although you are more likely to see Emirati men and women in their dishdashas and abayas taking to the ice than swishing through the snow.
Diversions aside, the biggest draw of the year is the monthlong Dubai Shopping Festival, from mid-January, thanks to that most traditional of attractions – big discounts.
Further information can be found online about the Dubai Mall and the Aquarium. Tickets cost £10.
The souqs
The malls of Dubai don't exist in a vacuum. Behind their marbled precincts, there lies a long tradition of merchants bringing exotica from around the Gulf and beyond to be ogled and haggled over.
Madinat Jumeirah is the halfway point between old and new Dubai – a shopping resort-restaurant-entertainment village that takes architectural inspiration from the pre-1960s trading port, while everything else is very much in the spirit of the 21st-century emirate.
Yet however tastefully done the arcaded streets of Madinat Jumeirah's souq may be, the city's merchant tradition is more palpable in the souqs of Deira and Bur Dubai, on opposite sides of Dubai Creek. In Bur Dubai Souq, which sits between the historic Bastakia and Shindagha quarters, it's the clothing that stands out, particularly the saris and other fabrics from India and beyond.
Across the creek in Deira's dusty streets, traders come from as far afield as Ethiopia, Iran, Pakistan and the Philippines. The Spice Souq offers saffron, sumac, dried lemons and frankincense from the south of Oman. Next door, the Gold Souq is piled with lustrous necklaces and bracelets for countless bridal dowries, in a city where two in three people buy gold at least once a year.
Traditionally, souq shops close for a few hours in the afternoon and for most of Friday, although many now open all day. In souqs, as in malls, Friday evenings after the end of prayers are the busiest times.
Dubai engineering
Before 2009, the question 'What is the tallest building in the world?' had no simple answer, what with a number of radio masts, offshore platforms and observation towers making the very definition ambiguous. Happily, the Burj Khalifa has ended the debate by surpassing the title holder in every record category, reaching more than 828m high.
The tower was topped out shortly before the global financial crisis hit Dubai's property market. Plans to build artificial islands in the shape of palm trees and a world map were put on hold, with only one of these palm islands finished.
Yet despite this setback in trying to raise new land from the waters of the Gulf, it's unlikely that the Burj Khalifa will mark the limit of Dubai's ambitions.
Pre-booked tickets to the Burj Khalifa observation deck cost £18 and are valid for a set date and time. Instant admission tickets for those in a hurry cost £70.

United To Tour Down Under
Manchester United are to travel to Sydney to face the Australian A-League All Stars next summer.
United will be back on Australian soil for the first time since 1999, they will play a pre-season tour in preparation for the 13/14 season.
United will face the All Stars in the ANZ Stadium on 20th July.
United chief executive David Gill told the club's official website: "We are delighted to accept the invitation from the New South Wales Government and the Football Federation Australia to visit one of the world's truly great cities."
He added: "There are three main reasons we go on pre-season tour. First and foremost is the team's preparation for the season ahead. But the tour also allows us to engage with our global fan base and network of commercial partners.
"It has been a while since we last visited Sydney and we are looking forward to renewing our relationship with our loyal and enthusiastic Australian fans."

Mumbai sculptor Haribaabu Naatesan has created a the Think Blue Beetle; a Bug made entirely out of trash. Naatesan created this life-sized replica using 2,805 pieces of trash. The car consists of 800 drink lids, 800 spark plugs, 200 bottle caps, 60 motherboards and tons of other pieces of e-waste and random garbage. Collecting 2,805 pieces of trash is no small project, and Naatesan spent 16 days collecting all the materials necessary to create his Volkswagen Beetle trash sculpture.
This trashy piece of car art was created as part of VW's environmentally friendly Think Blue Campaign. The Think Blue Beetle is currently on display at Mumbai's Kala Ghoda arts festival and will be moved to Germany once the festival ends. You can check out a time-lapse video of the sculpture being created here.

You do have a point about the infrastructure needs that rise with new energy carriers such as biogas or hydrogen, but solid oxide fuel cells can run on hydrocarbons or hydrogen, and thereby is a viable option for using biogas as a intermediary carrier, and later shifting to hydrogen if the technology gets advanced enough.

Congrats on a nice course.
Re:How deep? (725 comments)
you my good sir obviously have not taken a class in statistics, as clearly, measuring 24 times would make for a huge margin of error. Better to grab a 2m "yardstick" and measure twice, and cut at a total of 2.5146 m
Re:They never were (186 comments)
actually, i would recommend neither. Competing with fuel is just a bad idea, and can lead to food shortage in poor parts of the world. A More feasible solution is celluloic ethanol, i.e. from wood, corn stover, hemp and biogas (methane) from farms. but still this is nowhere near enough, and we need to change the way we think about transportation. And i can't believe that people still argue that there's no global warming. It's sort of like arguing that the earth is 6000 years old..

On line check in problem!!!
I have been trying to check in on line for 2 days.:surfweb: I called the help line. :confused: They have had numerous complaints..:furious:..Even the wrong reservation numbers coming up!:faint: They are taking it down for repair and it should be back up by 2/5/13 hopefully fixed.:goodvibes
Hey, worst case, you can check in at the resort. It doesn't save that much time doing it online.:thumbsup2
I'm concerned about doing online check in for my trip the end of the month. For my early January trip, I kept trying and trying to do online check in, and it didn't work until the day before arrival. By that time, I'd already withdrawn cash from the bank to use in case I couldn't get my cc entered (I prefer to enter the card myself online as opposed to handing it off to someone at the front desk). I like to use the KTTW to charge, but hearing that they are still having issues is making me very nervous. :worried:
Has there always been an issue with the on line check in?:sad2: I agree I would rather do it on line too. :confused3:sad1:
I've always done on line check in, had no problems and loved it. Today, I went to do on line check in and it redirected me to a different Disney website - but still wasn't able to access the on line check in. Anyone else had better luck?
Well, I didn't have any issues doing online check in for my 2/26 trip like I did for the one in January, so I think they are getting some of the bugs worked out.
Are you able to see your reservations under My Disney Experience on the new website? If so, it should say online check in available next to the reservation. I just clicked on that, and it took me into the online check in page. I did it about three weeks prior to check in. I don't know that it makes any difference, but mine was a room only reservation, not a package. |
I'll try it again - thanks. I spoke with member services in an attempt to figure it out and she said all the Disney websites are being redone and it could be months before they get it all figured out. (Really?!) And...I guess they aren't saying "Have a magical day" at the end of a phone conversation. Needless to say, not my best experience with member services. :(

Pampanga Travellers Tales
Angeles City is like a giant, city-sized red-light district. If that''s what you''re after then you''re heading to the right place. You''ll probably be best off sticking to the classy places, like the Blue Nile and the Fairway and staying away from the low-end dives (whose names I can''t even remember). The Margarita Station is a great bar to just hang out at, drinking the Red Horse beer and trying the Mojo. San Fernando, with a decent sized mall, is located only 30 minutes away by car. Another thing to try would be the hike up to Mt. Pinatubo crater. The hike is 16 miles roundtrip over some rocky terrain, so I wouldn''t recommend it to everyone; but the end result is really breathtaking. Finally, don''t take Traveller''s Checks to Angeles City. Getting them changed is something of an ordeal (a 3-day one for me). US cash works just fine and can even be exchanged at the front desk of your hotel.

I just received a gorgeous bouquet for my birthday, and there were several stems of golden Yarrow, really pretty, and I was wondering if Yarrow can be air dried? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by Neil_allen z5/6 Chi IL (email@example.com) on Thu, Jul 11, 02 at 7:55
Achillea is a great candidate for air drying. It will dry quicker if you strip any foliage (then smell your fingers -- the leaves of yellow yarrow are highly fragrant, although the smell doesn't linger). |
Thanks -- just did the hanging thing, and the leaves do smell great.. They might make good pot pourri. |
Love my yellow yarrow, but never tried to dry it. Do I have to hang it upside down to dry it? How should I store it? Got any suggestions for other good dried flower plants? Happy Gardening! Karen |
- Posted by Neil_allen z5/6 Chi IL (email@example.com) on Mon, Jul 15, 02 at 15:13
I've always dried yarrow by stripping the foliage and hanging it upside down in a warmish, darkish, dryish place. Since it has a fairly strong stem and doesn't change much in the drying process, it might dry well just by putting it in a vase without water -- but I haven't actually done it that way. As for other flowers to dry, the link below gives some suggestions. |
Here is a link that might be useful: What Dried Flowers Are You Growing?
I dry my yarrow the easy way...I strip off the leaves and place them in a vase without water. They dry stiff and upright just like that and look nice on an end table while your doing it. Kay. |
- Posted by Amy_z6_swPA (My Page) on Tue, Aug 31, 04 at 15:18
I'm a complete newbie to drying, but I've been a gardener for years and have dried things here & there....I know Achillea is the easiest plant ever to dry. All I do is hang them upside down on a bar (just put the heads upside down right over the bar), or wrap stems with a rubber band, twist tie, or thread and hang them up to dry. They do all the work themselves. When they're ready they look so great arranged in a rustic pot. :o) |
I bought some maroon yarrow at the market. I decided to dry it for displays. I hung it upside down in a darkish and dry environment, but although the stalks are drying, the blooms are very limp and losing their shape. It's been about a week of drying so far. Is the process going as it should? |
- Posted by neil_allen z5/6 Chi IL (My Page) on Mon, Jul 13, 09 at 7:28
For drying, you have to wait to pick yarrow until the flower develops pollen. Then it will hold its shape when it dries; otherwise the flowers shrink into pinpoints, rather than pinheads. The pollen appears in a raised area in the center of each tiny flower -- an English writer about dried flowers calls it the "bobble." I suspect that your yarrow was picked before the bobble appeared, and picking before pollen appears is a fairly common practice for fresh flowers. If I'm correct, I don't think you'll have much luck with your bunch. |

How long do yarrows have to dry? |

I went to Reed's Barbecue for barbecue.I ordered a pork plate dinner. It consisted of pork, white bread and 2 sides. The 2 sides were baked beans and potato salad. There was no barbecue sauce on the pork. I was give a vinegar in a one ounce cup. I asked for barbecue sauce and then was given the sauce in a one ounce cup. The baked beans were Pork & beans not backed beans. This is the first time I have had barbecue with an ounce of sauce. Maybe I should have asked for something else

"I cannot even tell you how many complimens we received on this birth announcement! It was so wonderful to get that feedback. They are even nicer in person. I would describe them as pretty, elegant and delicate. We did almost identical to the stock photo (grey back drop with white trim and our photo was 'naked' baby with white flower headband that somewhat matched the trim on the cards). Oh- and I ordered at 10 pm on a Wednesday and they were at my door step Friday afternoon! Just wonderful and am so, so pleased with our order and Tiny prints!"
"These announcements are phenomenal and far exceeded my expectations. The paper quality was outstanding and my photo looked better than I could have even imagined. My son's shirt in the picture had green stripes, so the design team matched the pattern on the back to his shirt at no cost. The designer called me and communicated with me verbally about the customization and send me a digital proof for my approval. It was exactly what I was hoping for! The icing on the cake was that the announcements were delivered ahead of schedule--even with the custom design work. I have received several phone calls from recipients telling me how wonderfully they turned out. TinyPrints has earned a customer for life."
"This is a wonderful card for a boy's baby announcement! I love the bold name on the card, along with the contemporary font. I chose the shimmer stock paper and am so glad...it gives it such a lux look and the paper feels substantial. I changed "Merry Christmas" to read "Welcomed With Love" since we had already sent Christmas cards out. Great quality card for such a special occasion!"
"We were so happy with how our birth announcements turned out. The photo quality was excellent and the design is so cute."
"I thought the finished product turned out great and have received lots of compliments. The designer got back to me quickly to approve my image and it was delivered before the day they estimated it to arrive. Very satisfied overall."

I bought some African Violets and have kept them alive for several months now. I was wondering what is the best kind of pot for them and where I can buy them? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Starmomma - we have very good FAQ on this forum. Please - read - and may be they will help you not only keep you plants alive - but make them perform better and better and make you smile every day ;-)). you want so called azalea plastic pots - the diameter larger then the depth - and you need to select the pot which diameter is 1/3 of the leaf span of your plant. If you have a good nursery around - they possibly sell something appropriate. Or check on the AVSA.org vendors - and order some. I think Cape Cod Violetry carries whatever necessary. I personaly do not use the expensive double AV ceramic pots - they are heavy and you need to be really vigilant not to kill plants in them. But some growers are quite successful with them. Another option that works very well - is so called Oyama pots - just be sure that the soil is very light. You can google them and see what they are. Good luck, happy growing and lots of blooms Irina PS check on AVSA.org Affiliates - there are good AV clubs in Oklahoma - may be you would like to see their show and visit their meeting. People are very welcoming and generous with the advice and plants to share with newbies. The last AVSA convention was in Tulsa- and it was fabulous. |
Here is a link that might be useful: FAQ - basic care
Anyone find these kinds of plastic azalea pots at the big box stores? I look every so often and never see anything like it. |
- Posted by nwgatreasures (My Page) on Fri, Aug 29, 08 at 22:31
I've NEVER seen the kind of supplies that we need as violet enthusiast in big box stores. If you get in connection with a local society - they probably have supplies for sale. If not, take the extra effort to order supplies from some of the various suppliers mentioned on this forum. it is well worth the effort and expense. The stuff you pick up at the stores isn't really what I would consider "real" violets....but that's just my VOCD speaking :) Dora |

I put some Siberian irises in last year. Should I fertilize them and with what? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Good idea to fertilize after spring growth has begun. I like to use low nitrogen (ie. 6-10-8) for ones in the ground. Potted bulbs and iris get Miracle Grow which is higher nitrogen. |
I sprinkle Plant Tone around them in early spring. For a vigorous cultivar like Caesar's Brother, that seems to be enough. This year, I may try a second feeding with something stronger for some of the less vigorous ones. I have never heard SI described as heavy feeders. However, some of the varieties I have just seem like they need a little kick. Probably just after they bloom. |

Does anyone have a Adams Arms (Huldra -Fleet Farm) rifle. I'm new to the AR 15 thing, and have been attempting to learn what I can. My first thoughts were to buy a Ruger 5.56, however, they are costly and heavy. I then looked at Stag Arms madel 8; it appears to be a good rifle. I haven't seen one to hold and swing and---.. The same for the M&P line (pistons) from Smith. Then I started to read about the Huldra. The 1" gurantee must mean they feel they are making it right and the fact that they are using Melanite to insure corosion resistance and smooth function (as is S&W) appears to be a really good thing. The short stroke piston is not significantly heavier than a direct gas system. They are available. All of them (black rifles) seem to be on the ugly side ,but as the old saw goes, "pretty is as pretty does".

I've never handled an Adam Arms piston rifle they are one of the better piston manufacturers if not the best out there. I have had experience with cmmg's piston system, built it up for under 700 bucks and it worked flawlessly, the only draw backs were that getting an after market hand guard is a little more expensive. If my memory serves me right Huldura comes with a quad rail out of the box

I had to visit the New Plymouth Power station last week. It's been retired from service and partially dismantled, but the 600 foot chimney still dominates the skyline. The power station has been taken over by the local port company and will be used for log storage, the chimney, despite rumours to the contrary, will likely remain for some years.A loose parallel, moving on from one life phase to another. Certain aspects remain others change, memories linger on...

Re: Getting off scot-free for telling Lehman Brothers that it could just write all of those things off. So it's pinching itself, basically appealing the miraculous verdict so that no one can take it away.
The accounting firm late last month sought confirmation of an April decision by an arbitration council, which ruled Ernst & Young wasn't liable for the so-called Repo 105 accounting maneuver that Lehman used to shift assets off its books. The New York Attorney General's office had sued the accounting firm over the practice, which allowed Lehman to temporarily lower its leverage in 2008 while enabling the bank to present itself as financially stronger than it really was.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is SKY!
Facts about SKY
- Breed: Australian Shepherd/Border Collie Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
SKY's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Sky is a BEAUTIFUL, sweet, friendly, active & playful girl. She has the most amazing eyes in the world - they are so crystal blue they're almost white. She was a bit shy with the camera, but she loves people. Her mother is Austrailian Shepherd/Border Collie mix & her dad is a purebred Austrailian Shepherd. She is 5 months old. Sky will be spayed on March 20th & will be ready to travel about 10 days later. She is current on all vaccines, worming, heartworm & flea/tick prevention. Her adoption fee is $400
Other Pets at Friends of Gibson County Animals TN
Why Adoption is a Great Option
SKY, a Humboldt Australian Shepherd/Border Collie dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Shepherd/Border Collie for sale in Humboldt, or seeking a Australian Shepherd/Border Collie dog from a breeder in Humboldt.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Humboldt already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Humboldt breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Australian Shepherd/Border Collie breeders who help with Australian Shepherd/Border Collie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Humboldt paves the way for another one to be saved.

The shortlist for the second Pushkin House Russian Book Prize has been announced this afternoon…
This year's shortlist was announced today at the Independent Bath Festival of Literature by judge and Artistic Director of the festival Viv Groskop, and covers a wide variety of aspects of life in Russia.
Launched last year in association with Waterstones, the Pushkin House Russian Book Prize seeks out the best non-fiction writing of the past year on Russia.
Chair of judges Dr Rowan Williams said the shortlist "shows the breadth and depth of interest in Russian matters in the English-speaking world," adding that it "offers such lively, diverse and expert perspectives on Russia."
Waterstones MD James Daunt echoed his words, and pointed out that "Many of these books will not have yet reached a wide audience, but they deserve to and the Prize should be commended for throwing light upon them."
This year's nominees include the biography of a black American – the son of a former slave – who made his fortune in Russia at the turn of the 20th century; a history of the Kremlin; the story of seven generations of Russia told through cookery and food; an absorbing account of Mussorgsky's musical circle; the story of an eccentric Russian Empire-builder; and a memoir of Cold War Russia.
Last year's winner, Douglas Smith, saw his book Former People celebrated in bookshops across the country, and is on this year's judging panel.
The winner of the £5,000 prize will be announced at a ceremony at Pushkin House on 30th April.

Read Movie Reviews about Putty Hill Write a Movie Review for Putty Hill
Release Date: 2011-02-18
Genre: Drama,
Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 27min
By weaving poised portrait shots of lethargic suburban life with interviews, Porterfield's second feature blends genres to create a haunting piece of cinema. Putty Hill avoids both the savagery of Larry Clark or the self-conscious bizarreness of Harmony Korine, as it examines the aftermath of a young heroin user's premature death. Instead, the director allows the restless teenagers and fatigued adults – and their slice of dilapidated Baltimore – to speak clearly and serenely for themselves.
