Wonderful First CSA Experience!
By: (Mar 5, 2013)
Last year, we finally decided to try a CSA. We chose Colvin Family Farm because of their variety of vegetables, more than fair pricing, and flexibility of pickup times and locations. Needless to say, they exceeded our expectations. There was always a great variety of beautiful & delicious vegetables. Adam & Caleb were always incredibly friendly and informative. They are great about letting you switch something out of your box or letting you add a little extra of something else, depending on your needs. Going to the farmer's market to pick up our CSA became the highlight of our week, and we ate so well (& healthy!) during those months. I have been recommending them to all of my friends, and I would recommend them to anyone who has been considering starting a CSA!

colvin family farm
By: susan adams (Mar 2, 2013)
I did extensive research a year ago to determine which CSA farm was the best for our family. I joined The Colvin Family CSA and it was the BEST thing I could have ever done. The produce was exceptional. My experience with the family has been outstanding and I would recommend them highly!

Great family! Great farm!
By: Pat Rittenhouse (Mar 1, 2013)
When I decided to join a CSA last year, I did a lot of investigating. Colvin Family Farm appealed to me the most, not only because of what they offered, but because of the people behind the operation. I love experiencing the whole farming operation vicariously through their website and Facebook postings. The produce is wonderful, and the people are, too.

Great Farm
By: Spencer Hall (May 16, 2011)
This is our second year with Colvin. They do a great job, communicate well, and are a joy to work with. If you do not like one of their offerings from time to time, they allow you to trade it in for something else that they have that day (e.g. a trade between bok choi and chard on a given Saturday).

Colvin Family Farm CSA
By: Elizabeth Devega (Jul 10, 2010)
We bought a full share and pick up at the Dixie Lee Farmer's market every Saturday. Caleb always has a smile on his face when he loads our share into our bag and tells us what everything is. We have been enjoying it thoroughly every week! We also enjoy the weekly updates, and recipes! Anyone interested in a CSA should really consider this one!

Colvin Family Farm:friendly and fabulous fresh food
By: Helen Picou (Jun 19, 2010)
This family run farm is a great community to belong to!
The whole family helps with the effort, and they are as friendkly as can be.
Great variety of produce, and support in terms of hints and recipes.
The Colvins held an open house for shareholders this week. All were invited to see how the farm works, pick their own share, enjoy a meal together, it was a splendid community event.

Love the Colvins!
By: Cindy Nielsen (May 23, 2010)
We just love the Colvins and what they're doing with their CSA. They have the freshest produce. It's always picked before it gets too big and tough (and using organic methods, which is critical and not always easy). They care about their product. Their work ethic is obvious from their product to their newsletter to how they handle their customers. They work together as a family, and it's a delight to visit with them each week. We pick up our basket at Market Square (even though I live in west Knoxville!) Adam is always a bright spot in the market...his parents must be very proud of him! The Colvin's are a credit to the farming community and I'm proud to be part of their CSA! They have drop off points at Market Square, Maryville and Farragut. The world would be a much better place if everyone took as good care of our planet and put as much love and attention into their food sources as the Colvins. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

If you have a 401(k) or other retirement plan, you may be waiting even longer before new government standards are imposed that require your financial adviser to act in your best interest. The U.S. Department of Labor was in the final stages of preparing a proposal that would establish a so-called fiduciary standard for retirement plan advisers, which means they'd be required to put their clients' financial interests ahead of their own when offering investment advice. A number of consumer groups …

If you think your financial adviser is giving you retirement investment advice that's in your best interest, you could be sadly mistaken. What you may not know is that many financial professionals aren't required to put their clients' best interests first because they're not bound to a fiduciary standard (a legal requirement to act in the investor's best interest). So the financial advisers you trust may actually be motivated more by the commissions they get from steering you into certain …

Dear Students and Parents, I have been playing guitar for over 30 years. I played in various rock bands for fun growing up and then developed a passion for acoustic finger-style guitar playing by songwriters like James Taylor. While still in high school, I opened a concert for Livingston Taylor (James Taylor's brother). After high school I decided to pursue my passion for guitar in college and received my Bachelors degree in Classical Guitar Performance studying with Robert Guthrie at Southern Methodist University. I also love to write music so after graduating from SMU I went out to Los Angeles and worked in the film music industry at Warner Bros. Studios for many years. I am currently working at MakeMusic, Inc., a world leader in music technology whose mission is to develop ...

The jazz program at UNC is one of the finest in the United States, and to be selected as a member of one of the vocal jazz ensembles was an honor in itself. From these experiences I have gained knowledge about the importance of vocal performance and music advocacy. I accepted a position as a general music teacher in Colorado in the fall of 2007 and then worked part time for a school in Laguna Niguel, CA until June of 2012. I recently moved from California to ...

Heat-assisted magnetic recording
Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) is a magnetic storage technology for hard drives in which a small laser is used to heat the part of the disk that is being written to. The heat changes the magnetic properties (its "coercivity") of the disk for a short time, reducing or removing the superparamagnetic effect while writing takes place. This magnetic effect sets a limit on the areal density of magnetic recording (how much data can be stored in a given area of a disk). The effect of HAMR is to allow writing on a much smaller scale than before, greatly increasing the amount of data that can be held on a standard disk platter.[1][2]
The technology was initially seen as extremely difficult to achieve, with doubts expressed about its feasibility. As at 2014, no hard disks using HAMR are currently on the market, but HAMR is in an advanced state of development with demonstration drives produced by companies such as Seagate. A spokesperson for TDK, who have demonstrated read/write heads supporting HAMR, stated in October 2014 that the technology could appear in commercial hard drives by late 2015 to early 2016,[3] and in December 2014 Seagate stated that it expected to produce working prototype drives during 2015 with commercial production anticipated in 2016.[4]
There have been a series of technologies developed to allow hard drives to increase in capacity with little effect on cost; one of the latest is perpendicular recording. To go beyond the limits of perpendicular recording, new technologies are being developed, including helium-filled drives, shingled magnetic recording (SMR), as well as heat-assisted magnetic recording ("HAMR").
The limitation of perpendicular recording is often characterised by the competing requirements of Readability, Writeability and Stability commonly known as the Magnetic Recording Trilemma. HAMR is one technique proposed to break the trilemma and produce a workable solution. The problem is that to store data reliably for very small bit sizes the magnetic medium must be made of a material with a very high coercivity. At increasing areal densities, the size occupied by one bit is so small, and the coercivity required becomes so high, that the magnetic field able to be created for writing data cannot be made strong enough to permanently affect the data (because it is not possible to produce a more powerful magnetic field in the smaller space available using existing methods). In effect, a point exists at which it becomes impractical or impossible to make a working disk drive because magnetic writing activity is no longer viable.
Coercivity happens to be temperature dependent. If the temperature rises then the coercivity would be lower. HAMR uses this physical behavior to solve the problem. In HAMR, a small laser is used to temporarily spot-heat the tiny area being written to at any given time. When the temperature of the area being written is raised in this way above the Curie temperature, the magnetic medium effectively loses much of its coercivity, so a realistically achievable magnetic write field can write data to the medium. As only a tiny part of the disk is heated at a time, the heated part cools very quickly, and comparatively little power is needed.
HAMR could eventually increase the limit of magnetic recording by more than a factor of 100. This could result in storage capacities as great as 50 terabits per square inch. Running costs are not expected to differ significantly from non-HAMR drives, since the laser only uses a few tens of milliwatts (around 1% of the common 5 to 12 watts in active use of large 3.5 inch HDDs).[5] It competes with technologies such as SMR.
Industry observer IDC stated in 2013 that ""The technology is very, very difficult, and there has been a lot of skepticism if it will ever make it into commercial products", with opinions generally that HAMR is unlikely to be commercially available before 2017.[5] Seagate commented that the challenges include "attaching and aligning a semiconductor diode laser to an HDD write head and implementing near-field optics to deliver the heat", along with the scale of use which is far greater than previous near-field optic uses.[5]
- In 1954, engineers of PL Corp working for RCA filed a patent which described the basic principle of using heat in conjunction with a magnetic field to record data.[6] This was followed by many other patents in this area with the initial focus on tape storage.
- In the 1980s, a class of mass storage device called the magneto-optical drive became commercially available which used essentially the same technique for writing data to a disk. One advantage of magneto-optic recording over purely magnetic storage at that time was that the bit size was defined by the size of the focused laser spot rather than the magnetic field. In 1988, a 5.25-inch magneto-optic disk could hold 650 megabytes of data with a roadmap to several gigabytes; a single 5.25" magnetic disk had a capacity of around 100 megabytes.[7]
- In late 1992, Sony introduced MiniDisc, a music recording and playback format intended to replace audio cassettes. Recordable MiniDiscs used heat-assisted magnetic recording but the discs were read optically via the Faraday effect.
- 2006 - Fujitsu demonstrates HAMR.[8]
- As of 2007, Seagate believed it could produce 300 terabit (37.5 terabyte) Hard disk drives using HAMR technology.[9] Some news sites erroneously reported that Seagate would launch a 300 TB HDD by 2010. Seagate responded to this news stating that 50 terabit per-square-inch density is well past the 2010 timeframe and that this may also involve a combination of Bit Patterned Media.[10]
- In early 2009 Seagate achieved 250 Gb per square inch using HAMR. This was half of the density achieved via perpendicular recording at that time.[11]
- Hard disk technology progressed rapidly and as of January 2012, desktop hard disk drives typically had a capacity of 500 to 2000 gigabytes, while the largest-capacity drives were 4 terabytes.[12] It was recognised as early as 2000 [13] that the then current technology for hard disk drives would have limitations and that heat-assisted recording was one option to extend the storage capacity.
- In March 2012 Seagate became the first hard drive maker to achieve the milestone storage density of 1 terabit per square inch using HAMR technology.[14]
- In October 2012 TDK announced that they had reached a storage density of 1.5 terabit per square inch, using HAMR.[15] This corresponds to 2TB per platter in a 3.5" drive.
- November 2013 - Western Digital demonstrates a working HAMR drive,[16] although not yet ready for commercial sales, and Seagate state they expect to begins selling HAMR based drives around 2016.[17]
- In May 2014, Seagate said they planned to produce low quantities of 6 to 10TB capacity hard disks in the "near future", but that this would require "a lot of technical investment as you know, it's also a lot of test investment". Though Seagate has not stated that the new hard disks would use HAMR, bit-tech.net speculates that they will.[18] Seagate started shipping 8TB drives around July 2014, but without saying how that capacity was reached; extremetech.com speculates that shingled magnetic recording was used rather than HAMR.[19]
- In October 2014, TDK, who supply hard drive components to the major hard drive manufacturers, stated that HAMR drives up to around 15TB would probably start to become available by 2016,[20] and that the results from a prototype 10,000 rpm Seagate hard drive with a TDK HAMR head suggested that the standard 5 year durability required by enterprise customers was also achievable.[21]

no joke, its real. I guess this puts a whole new meaning to "pocket pistol"
From what I read online, these are pretty pricey collectors items. The pistol alone will run you about $5,000 and another $70 per bullet.
Bullet weight is 3grains and it travels at about 650fps. Muzzle energy is only 3 foot pounds. I never thought there would be a weaker round then a .22 or a .17
Kinda ugly huh?

TSG's Got Somethin' to Talk About Every Morning
by TSG on Wed, February 24th, 2010 at 8:00 am
If you're on the Swagbucks Facebook page every weekday, TSG's got a brand new discussion for all of Swag Nation to participate in every weekday. Sometimes I talk about TV shows and movies that are out, sometimes I talk about music, sometimes I just like to ask what color socks you're wearing. But, every weekday, there's something new to talk about.
Yesterday I talked about what cover songs were better than their original predecessors. Before that, I asked about the Winter Olympics. From current to random to mundane to fun, I try to at all times keep it interesting.
Sometimes, I'll even go back to the discussion later in the day and pop a Swag Code in there. You know…just for fun.

2013 and earlier BMW X5 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
rpram1 Posts: 18I thought this information would help others:
It seems that each dealer (or at least this one) is getting an allocation X5d. I was about ready to order a 2010 and had gone to the website and built the car I wanted. I hesitated ordering because I knew that the car would end up being built in January or February and I wanted/needed the SAV now. I happened to look at the nearby inventory (within 100 miles) and noted that a vehicle with nearly my identical build showed up at a dealer about 50 miles away. The vehicle arrived Wednesday and on Friday it had at least three people battling over the thing. That battle probably cost me $500 but in the end paid $1250 over invoice then reduced that amount by the $4500 eco credit. In the end, the MSRP was $63,975 and invoice was $58,815; so in the end I paid about $55,600 before TTL. Not great but not bad. I will get the 2009 alternative energy credit (either $900 or $1800) and the vehicle is in my garage. It has Tech, Prem, Prem Sound, Comfort Access, Cold Wea, Rear Clim, Ipod, Sat Radio (not sure if I missed anything).
Less than 5 minutes after I agreed to the price and while I was standing outside; a couple pulled up behind the car and looked at it closely. Another salesman told them it had just been sold and the wife told the husband; "I told you we should have come yesterday".
One other note is that I think the MPG is better on the highway than the stated 26 mpg - I got 31 mpg on the way home, all highway. My average has since come down to 22.8, but it is now at least 75% city since Saturday -
timber72 Posts: 5Can I ask - how does the $1800 Alternative energy credit work? I assume you will get it when you file your 2009 taxes? Does everyone get it that buys a diesel or are there qualifications? Also, had you ordered your X5 diesel and not gotten it until sometime in early 2010 were they still going to give you the $4500 eco credit? How about the Alternative energy tax credit - would you still have gotten that if you hadn't taken delivery until 2010?
Thank you for your help. I am trying to understand these credits. The credits seem to justify the extra $4100 the diesel costs over the regular X5 but it is a bit confusing, especially given that there are so few diesels on the lot and most likely will need to order.... -
rpram1 Posts: 18The alternative energy credit is filed with your taxes and it fluctuates in amount by manufacturer and it phases out as manufacturers hit certain alternative fuel sales figures. I think you have to take delivery in the tax year that you are filing for. I think you also have to purchase and not lease. That is the extent of my amateur knowledge.
The eco-credit is based on when you order the vehicle and whether or not you get this into your deal with your dealer.
You will likely need to order, I just got a bit lucky on this one.
The 2010 x5 iDrive and navigation are definitely worth not buying a 2009, so do not even think about that. The system is improved 1 million percent. The parking assist function is also worth the price of admission. There are some quirks with the diesel, but nothing to big to overcome yet. There is a question about the extra cost with diesel prices spreading away from gas prices. There is definitely more torque and power in this diesel and they do last longer. -
slausbound Posts: 1Greetings. I'm a newbie to the fourm... I'm reading throughout this thread (and others) that $500-$1000 over invoice is a realistic mark-up folks are getting from dealers, but when I model out a 2010 35d and 2010 48i on the Edmunds.com Pricing System, the TMV algorithm indicates that "others" are paying $5,000-$5,500 over invoice. The regional adjustment in TMV is only $300 (I'm in Seattle area).
Has the market changed so rapidly that folks are now paying close to MSRP, or is the TMV analysis worthless??
Below are the numbers I'm looking at:
Modeled 2010 35d
64,130 Invoice
5,049 TMV amt above invoice
Modeled 2010 48i
69,000 Invoice
5,489 TMV amt above invoice
Thanks, in advance, for you comments. -

stanesq Posts: 16You cant say original MSRP was 57995 and they are giving you a discount. This is a USED car with 14,000 miles. Personally, I would rather have the new vehicle for $4000 more. Why take someone else's headache 14,000 miles later for $4000 diff on a 50K vehicle? I think you are being pennywise and pound foolish.

Price: $57,355.
I posted my offer ($57,355) at Autobrag.com on Friday, and received a couple of accepting offer email. Has anyone have experience with Autobrag.com? -
aotd Posts: 3Sound like a deal any local dealer will give you if you are ready to purchase. I believe in this economic environment you can find a dealer willing to give you real invoice, $56,855 minus $2500 promotional discount without any major bogus dealer fees. I know a few dealers in NY that were willing to cut this deal when I was negotiating. :shades:
goodgame2009 Posts: 4I think the price is fair (good deal if you want call that, since I don't think you going to get any under invoice price right now).
However, I do question about dealer's number game here; this $53,773 inculds the "2500 holiday credit" which sounds great with only one problem.
I got the same price back in Aug 09 with almost same configuration and no so call "holiday credit". Just wondering...
either way you got a fair price and enjoy the driving...I end up not taking the deal and got a used one (07 3.0 X5 w/23Kmiles) -
bmwed1 Posts: 3Thanks aotd. I live in Newtown, PA, cross Delaware River from Trenton, NJ. Do you know any dealers offering such on a X5 4.8? If I can buy it at edmunds' invoice price minus $2,500 (of course plus a couple of hundred dealer's fees), I will mail you a $200 check. I am serious. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Best.
cdahl Posts: 5I live downstate NY . I visited several local dealerships in last few days. No one is selling for "real invoice". Lowest prices for an X5 range $400-800 over invoice +$300 MACO + $180 training less $2500 holiday rebate (if financed) -- so after everything thats about $1500 under invoice.
joeyi Posts: 11I am in the market to purchase a 2007 X5 3.0 CPO in Los Angeles. I have found a few that are listed between 39k - 41k with approx 20 - 30k miles. Where should I start with my offer and what do you think would be the rock bottom price on these vehicles? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

00boxsters Posts: 202Its a good deal. Your are prob. about $2000 over their cost as I vaguely recall. You might squeeze another $1K but these diesels are popular enough to get push back right now.
Look at the (my) previous posts above to see how far away from 'optimal' you are. Once you get your best deal, forget about it and enjoy. -

Clift: Is Newt Gingrich Poised for a Comeback?
Fourteen video cameras lined the ballroom of the National Press Club on a steamy August day, drawn by the back-to-the-future presence of Newt Gingrich, former House Speaker and possible presidential candidate. The audience of journalists, industry representatives and assorted hangers-on sat transfixed as Gingrich wowed them with his versatile intellect and his political derring-do.In an angry election season, this could be Gingrich's moment. He's a bomb thrower, and this time he's hurling smart bombs, blasting risk-averse candidates and the army of consultants that have sapped all spontaneity out of the presidential-election process. His fury at the ways of Washington echoes the way he tapped into voter disgust with the status quo in 1994 when he led the Republican revolution that captured control of the House for the first time in 40 years. He defined the conservative takeover, and then became part of its decline when he resigned the speakership in 1999.Now he is poised to shake up... -

Clift: Dems Must Act Now to End the War
The media treated the Senate's all-night session as a comedy routine, a chance to make jokes about sleepovers and pizza delivery. Everybody knew going in that the Democrats didn't have the votes to pass an amendment calling for the draw down of troops beginning in 120 days. But the Democrats needed to show they're at least trying to bring about the change in policy they promised on the campaign trail last year.The operative emotion is anger. The voters are almost as furious with the Democrats for their inability to end the Iraq War as they are with President Bush for prolonging it. Democrat Chellie Pingree lost by 16 points when she challenged Maine Republican Susan Collins in 2002. Now Collins, running for re-election in '08, is on everybody's endangered list. After much public agonizing, she became one of the four Republicans this week to break with Bush and vote with the Democrats on the war."It's a different world," says Pingree, who is running for the House seat in Maine being... -

Clift: Joe Biden's Horse Sense
It was classic Biden. He was late for lunch and would have to leave early, but in the 20 minutes he stayed and took questions, he got more words out than most politicians do in twice the time. He didn't have anything scripted to say, his press aide told us, but then again he rarely does. Joe Biden makes it up as he goes along, drawing on his 34 years in the U.S. Senate.He is a force of nature—smart, even brilliant; passionate about what he believes, and a challenge for any mere staff person to rein in. At least four aides circled around trying valiantly to corral him. He had five minutes to get back to the Senate. He is willing to miss votes if his absence won't change the outcome, he explains, unless there are political implications. The Senate was voting Thursday afternoon on a card check, which labor unions oppose, and Biden, who's running for president, wanted to be there even though his vote was not needed to defeat the measure.Biden is carving out a role for himself as a truth... -
Clift: Will 2008 Be the Liberals' Year?
The left wing of the Democratic Party is back from the wilderness. They're revved up and ready to take the best shot they've had in a long time at putting someone simpatico in the White House. Progressives are driving the debate in Congress and in the country, pulling the party's presidential candidates to the left on issues like the war in Iraq, universal health care and an Apollo-like program for energy independence.Hillary Clinton is the weather vane. She began the campaign with a hawkish record on the Iraq War, only to vote last month with Dennis Kucinich and Barack Obama against the war-funding bill. A year ago, she talked about a health plan that covered children; now she's about to join John Edwards and Obama in putting forward a more expansive proposal. Her husband championed free trade as president; she joined a growing chorus of populist Democrats this week to vote against a trade pact with South Korea.If the left wants purity on the issues, they don't have to settle for... -

Clift: Bush Is Right on Immigration
The immigration deal worked out between Senate leaders and the White House is an unwieldy compromise nobody much likes. Democrats will mostly support it because the liberal lion, Ted Kennedy, is leading the charge. And the fact that right-wing Republicans are worked up into such a lather about the bill may give some Democrats enough reason to back it.President Bush is at war with his own party, tearing it apart over an issue that was supposed to be the GOP's ticket to an enduring governing majority. In his Rose Garden press conference Thursday, he pleaded with lawmakers to recognize that the way they deal with the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants is about "the heart and soul of America," a country founded by immigrants. "I would rather they come here legally than stuffed in the back of an 18-wheeler," Bush said.Bush has the right instincts when it comes to immigration policy. He was elected governor four years after Pete Wilson took the statehouse in California and made... -

Clift: The Democrats' War Plan
Texas Republican Louie Gohmert is famous on the Internet for saying we'd all be speaking Japanese or German if an anti-war Democrat like John Murtha had been in Congress during World War II. Murtha, a gruff ex-Marine who served in Korea and Vietnam, was on the House floor when Gohmert made his remark. Was the gentleman from Texas at Normandy, Vietnam, Murtha jabbed. The answer was no. What about Iraq? "I've been over there," Gohmert replied, "but I wasn't fighting.""Suits on the ground," Murtha harrumphed.The video clip of this exchange got a hundred thousand hits on YouTube at a time last year when the Republicans were calling Democrats terrorist-coddlers and defeatists. A more recent video of Pennsylvania Rep. Patrick Murphy calling for a moment of silence to mark the fourth anniversary of the Iraq War—and to honor the 19 members of the 82nd Airborne unit he served in who didn't make it home—has gotten 13,000 hits.Thanks to technology, what goes on in the confines of Congress... -
Clift: Democrats and the Politics of Guns
Rahm Emanuel was once a fierce gun-control advocate. As a top aide to Bill Clinton, he helped push the president's assault-weapons ban. At the time, Emanuel argued there was little reason for anyone to have a military-style weapon designed to kill as many people as possible in the shortest time.Restricting guns is the last thing Emanuel wants to talk about now. An Illinois congressman, he helped Democrats take back the Capitol last year in part by recruiting pro-gun candidates. The effort was part of a larger push to reach out to gun owners who'd shunned the party.That may help explain the noticeable hush from Democrats in the aftermath of the Virginia Tech shootings. Some Democrats have begun to sound a lot like Republicans on the issue. Emanuel, asked about the party's position on gun violence, borrows a line from the National Rifle Association. "There are successful laws on the books," he says. "They have to be enforced."Emanuel hasn't gone soft on guns (he earned an F on the NRA... -
I Really Support the President on the War. No, Really.
New Hampshire Sen. John E. Sununu is the "fastest man in the Senate," an honor he achieved after finishing ahead of his colleagues in a three-mile race last fall. It was a comeback of sorts. He had won the crown in 2004, only to lose it in 2005 after going out too fast and realizing at the mile mark that if he didn't slow down, he might have a heart attack. The 42-year-old Sununu is younger than most of his Senate colleagues. He told a public policy forum founded by tennis coach Kathy Kemper that he quickly came to the realization that "being the fastest man in the Senate is like being the best surfer in Kansas. It doesn't carry a lot of weight." Sununu is up for re-election in '08 and is on the Democrats' target list. He won his seat with less than 55 percent of the vote, and John Kerry won New Hampshire in '04, which puts his seat in play for the Democrats. During the April congressional recess, Sununu skipped four town meetings, sending staff instead and fueling speculation th... -
Remembering Jack Valenti
Nobody understood better than Jack Valenti the mind-set of powerful people. He began as an ad man in Texas, where he met Lyndon Johnson. When LBJ was tapped as vice president, Valenti went to work in the Kennedy White House. He was the quintessential staff man, bowing to the wishes of a boss who could be crude and overbearing—while never losing his own courtly bearing. Valenti was in the motorcade that fateful day in Dallas, dispatched by LBJ to handle press relations, when President Kennedy was shot. Valenti was there when Johnson took the oath of office aboard Air Force One, captured in the frame along with the grieving widow, Jackie Kennedy.And he shepherded Johnson through those first tense years, doing everything from taking notes in confidential meetings to acting as a conduit between the rival Kennedy and Johnson factions within the administration. His devotion to Johnson was so complete that much of official Washington dismissed him as a sycophant. But his ties to LBJ helped... -

Jim Webb on the Warpath
Democrats on Capitol Hill hang on his every word, and Jim Webb doesn't disappoint. His son was extended in Iraq for the surge, and his resolve to end a war that he opposed from the start is undisputed. He came from 33 points behind to win election in Virginia and tip control of the Senate to the Democrats—largely on the strength of his antiwar, tough-guy military credentials. Democrats owe him, and they trust him to help them find an honorable path out of Iraq.But Webb doesn't favor a timeline for withdrawal, as the Nancy Pelosi bill passed by the House on Friday proposes, or capping the number of troops in Iraq, as Hillary Clinton suggests. Webb wants a diplomatic solution, and he's working with Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel, a fellow Vietnam veteran and a friend for 30 years, to come up with a bipartisan bill that would incorporate some of what he calls "the more workable points" from the House bill without unnecessarily tying the hands of the military. He wouldn't say much about it... -

NEWSWEEK Poll: Giuliani Pulls Ahead for '08
In the aftermath of 9/11, nobody thought he could fill Rudy Giuliani's shoes. But under billionaire Michael Bloomberg, New York City's Democrat-turned-Republican mayor, the city rebounded. He's overseen a continued decline in the crime rate, forced restaurants to go smoke-free and has made vast strides in improving the public schools, the bane of any urban mayor. Not as ill-tempered as Giuliani, Bloomberg is doing a good job—perhaps, some New Yorkers might say, even a better job than his predecessor did. So why isn't he the one running for president?Publicly, Bloomberg is focused on his second term and leaving the city in better shape than he got it. Privately, Bloomberg and political adviser Kevin Sheekey are meeting with pollsters and consultants to assess the mayor's chances as a third-party, independent candidate. "There is no Bloomberg campaign," Sheekey tells NEWSWEEK. "But we have certainly reached out." At a dinner last year with Al From, founder of the centrist Democratic... -

The Priest On The Hill
On the same day that tens of thousands of people marched in Washington against the Iraq war, the country lost one of its most principled and dedicated antiwar voices. Rev. Robert F. Drinan, the first Roman Catholic priest to serve as a voting member of Congress, died in the nation's capital at age 86.Elected in Massachusetts in 1970 during the height of opposition to the Vietnam War, Father Drinan left his seat 10 years later out of deference to a papal order that said no clergy should hold public office. In perhaps his last public appearance, he celebrated mass on Jan. 3 for Nancy Pelosi at her alma mater, Trinity College, an all-women's Catholic college.In a measure of how much the intersection of politics and religion has changed, Drinan noted that Pelosi is the first "mom" to become Speaker of the House. The fact that she is also Catholic was a footnote. And nobody was checking with the Vatican to see if it was OK, least of all Drinan. If Rome thought this progressive priest... -
Payback Time For Trent Lott?
Senate Republicans are in a quandary. They don't like the Iraq war, but most are not willing to openly break with the White House—not yet, anyway. A vote taken Wednesday in the Senate Foreign Relations committee opposing the latest troop escalation won the support of only one Republican, Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel. If it had been a secret ballot, it would have passed overwhelmingly.These are the sentiments roiling the Republican caucus as the leadership tries to shape a "sense of the Senate" resolution that doesn't embarrass President Bush yet gives political cover to nervous senators looking for a way out of unconditional support for an unpopular war. Counting the votes for an antiwar resolution and limiting the damage to his party falls to Mississippi Sen. Trent Lott, whose election to the second highest position in the Republican leadership was one of last year's biggest political comebacks.One of the reasons Lott has the job is because his colleagues know he won't reflexively be... -

Reopened Site Presents Another Look At The Past At La Brea Tar Pits
For the first time in six years, Pit 91 is back in business at the La Brea Tar Pits.
LA Subway Dig Uncovers Prehistoric Artifacts
Scientists have long known that years before hipsters and tourists were trekking along Los Angeles' Miracle Mile dinosaurs were doing so.
Scientists Dig For Fossils In LA A Century Later
Scientists are still digging for Ice Age fossils in the heart of Los Angeles after a century of discoveries. So much has been uncovered from the La Brea Tar Pits that crews have a backlog of bones to clean and sort through.
'Dinosaur Hall' To Open July 16 At Natural History Museum
One of the world's largest dinosaur exhibits is opening at the Natural History Museum.
Scientists Search La Brea Tar Pits For Ice Age Fossils

Make your Own Costume
This is a bit of a Mardi Gras no-brainer. While it's perfectly possible to pick up feathered masquerade headgear around a lot of parades, Mardi Gras is the perfect opportunity to channel your creative side and make a bright, fabulous festive outfit of your own. Dig through your own closet for any big-mistake purchases, embarrassing 80s relics or unwanted hand-me-downs and go to town. Check out thrift stores for gaudy colors and feather boas. If you're feeling ambitious, you can turn your old newspapers into Mardi Gras masks. There are no rules to Mardi Gras costuming, so run wild and reuse.
Ride a Bike!
With any Mardi Gras celebration comes large crowds, and very often a certain amount of festive drinking. Bring your bike instead of your car, and not only will you find it easier and safer to get around, you'll also avoid guzzling gas in traffic jams. If costume making got your creative juices flowing, you can even think about decorating your bike! If you're joining Mardi Gras on vacation, look around for bicycle rental, and perhaps consider taking a bike tour while you're there.
Support or Join a Green Krewe (Or Start One of Your Own)
This one's a little more ambitious and takes a little more planning than other items on this list. Eco-aware Mardi Gras Krewes are beginning to pop up, and they have a lot of ground to cover. Aside from from the proliferation of plastic throws, Mardi Gras floats are often largely made of paper mache and crepe paper, and pulled by tractors or trucks. In New Orleans Krewe of Kolossus made their floats from recycled trash and other salvaged materials, while new-comer Verdi Gras make their beads from newspaper and salvaged wood in an effort to create a greener Mardi Gras less dependent on imported plastic goods. Chattanooga's smaller Mardi Gras celebrations come complete with pedal-powered floats. In most cases, anyone can join a Mardi Gras Krewe, though membership dues vary wildly. There's huge room for growth in the push for a green Mardi Gras, so if you can, jump in and support those who are working towards a greener Carnival!

Kenya's All-Share Index (NSEASI) rose for a third day, climbing 0.3 percent to 55.68 in Nairobi.
Mauritius's SEMDEX Index (SEMDEX) fell for a third day, declining 0.2 percent to 1,809.48. The Nigerian Stock Exchange All-Share Index (NGSEINDX) weakened 0.2 percent to 20,256.39 as of 2:30 p.m. in Lagos, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The FTSE/Namibia Overall Index (FTN098) rose 0.4 percent to 918.19 in Windhoek.
The following shares were active in sub-Saharan Africa, excluding South Africa. Stock symbols are in parentheses.
Nestle Nigeria Plc (NESTLE) , the West African nation's largest food company by market value, slumped 4.8 percent to 420 naira, the biggest decline since Jan. 3, after saying it will pay a final dividend of 11.05 naira per share.
The dividend announcement has "discouraged a lot of investors," David Adonri, chief executive officer of Lambeth Trust & Investment Co., a Lagos-based brokerage, said by phone today. "It is too small compared with its price."
NIC Bank Ltd. (NICB) , a Kenyan lender, surged 11 percent to 27.75 shillings, the biggest closing gain since December 2007, after it reported full-year profit jumped and said it planned to issue bonus shares as part of a planned rights offer.

It's an unfortunate fact that our dogs and cats become sick and sustain injuries. And sometimes, getting to a vet quickly isn't an option. Isn't it comforting to know that you might be able to help simply by using items found in just about every home? Benefit from Dr. Sarah's expertise as an emergency veterinary doctor, and watch this month's episode of Pet Talk. You too can become a 'Medical MacGyver'! Hopefully, you'll learn something new that'll help a companion animal in need until you can get to the vet.
If you're a regular reader of our blog, you'll know that we want you to be prepared. Being able to recognize an emergency situation as opposed from something that'll 'just pass', is critical. To make these vital decisions, we offer the following documents: "Tips for Emergency Situations" and "Recognize the Signs of Shock (Requires Immediate Vet Care)", PDF's to print for future use. Consider posting each page in a central location, like the refrigerator, for quick reference, should an emergency arise.
People often ask me if cats can get asthma. Unfortunately, the answer is a definite, "Yes". The signs of feline asthma can come on quite suddenly and can constitute a medical emergency, so let's review this condition in some detail.
Just like in humans, the airways in cats with asthma become restricted and inflamed. Mucus forms in the respiratory tract and the airway walls spasm. This can lead to wheezing, coughing, tiredness and difficulty breathing. Some cats can also vomit or lose their appetite. A cat having an asthma attack may sit with his head extended and breathe with an open mouth. Open mouth breathing is abnormal in cats. If you see this, consider it a sign of emergency and contact your veterinarian immediately. More...
The Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation is gratified to bring you news of our latest grant, awarded to Richardson Rescue, a medium-sized group in York, SC.
Richardson Rescue has been rescuing pets since 2003. The mission of this Carolina rescue is to provide shelter and care for both dogs and cats, and ultimately to place them in forever homes. In addition to these vital services, they also provide a low-cost spay-and-neuter program for local families subsisting on low incomes. An ardent advocate on behalf of animal rights, founder Janet Richardson views her work as falling under the umbrella of "preserving the sanctity of animal life". As goals go, it's our opinion that her rescue agency has become a great success!
Unlike many of our grant recipients, Richardson Rescue owns and operates a physical facility. The rescue center has a capacity of 130 animals, with nearly 40 dog runs, a medical facility with 15 crates and an observation area with 12 crates. And outdoors, there's a dog park for exercise and play. More...
No matter how much we adore our companion animals, there's no denying that they come with responsibilities. Keeping your dog's coat clean not only helps to support skin health, a luxurious, odor-free coat can actually improve your quality of life, too.
Not all of us are able to get to our professional groomer every time we really need to, so this episode of Pet Talk is all about techniques to wash your dog's coat at home … in between regular groomer visits.
With help from her beautiful, blond assistant, Alma, Dr. Sarah offers a quick overview of the basics of home bathing, to leave your dog's coat lustrous, clean and smelling spectacular.
Could that growth on my dog's back be a mast cell tumor? Is that cough really kennel cough, or perhaps something even worse? My pet is drinking more water – what does that mean? If you have ever gone online to try and diagnose what is wrong with your dog or cat, you have plenty of company.
A recent survey by the Pew Research Center indicated that 35% of U.S. adults say they have used the Internet to figure out what medical condition they or someone else might have. I imagine if this many people are using the Internet to figure out what is wrong with themselves, then they are most likely searching for what is wrong with their pets as well. More...
As the non-profit wing of Life's Abundance, the Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation takes pride in the diligent and committed work of all of its grant recipients. Every month, we're reminded that wherever caring people come together in the spirit of hope, and apply hard work, amazing things can be achieved.
This month, it gives us great pleasure to bring you the story of Spotted Dog Dalmatian Rescue, which represents the pure spirit of small rescue ventures. In operation since 2011, the founders of Spotted Dog embody the drive to make a positive difference in the world. The non-profit is comprised of a group of volunteers, all of whom are committed to the mission of saving and improving the lives of hearing-impaired Dalmatians. By educating people about the consequences of negative stereotypes regarding deaf Dals, they're hopeful they can make significant inroads in the acceptance of all dogs with disabilities.
That deaf dogs are aggressive and untrainable is a myth perpetuated by some for many years. Even in their short time, Spotted Dog has already witnessed a change in thinking among some breeders. It would appear that few are immune to the heartwarming message that also serves as their credo: "Deaf dogs hear with their hearts, not their ears". More...
Ever wonder why ear infections and skin allergies are the most common reasons pets are taken in to the veterinarian?
It is because these problems are usually pretty obvious and cannot be ignored. Anyone who has discovered an oozing, stinking ear infection or a chewed-bloody-and-bare hot spot will tell you that these are BIG hard-to-miss symptoms that something 'not quite right' is going on. More...
A few months ago, a producer and film crew from 'The Profiles Series' visited our offices to conduct in-depth interviews with the Life's Abundance staff. In addition to interviews with company principals, the crew spoke with customers about their experiences using our products and an expert in the pet-health industry provided his take on our extensive pet product line.
And now, the documentary is scheduled to air … this Friday! That's right, on May 24th, Life's Abundance will be featured on 'The Profiles Series' hosted by Larry King, an iconic and beloved talk show host. We could not be more thrilled that our company was chosen to appear in the upcoming episode of this show, and that someone of King's caliber will be the one to introduce our products to a sizeable national audience. There's no doubt that many of these viewers will be learning about Life's Abundance for the first time.
If you've never seen this new show, it's an educational TV series that shares information about the world, revealing significant issues impacting lives and how to best prepare for the future. Each 30-minute program features modern innovations and business-engineered solutions, and is dedicated to uncovering stories that showcase the 'best and brightest' in various industries. The theme of this half-hour episode is 'Made in America' and it will be broadcast on the Discovery Channel on May 24th at 7:00 a.m. EDT and PDT.
Our five-minute segment will specifically address how we achieve our level of product safety. Also discussed are the 2007 pet food recall and the current recall-culture, where we continue to hear about one tainted product announcement after another. This short documentary uncovers the steps we take to ensure consumer confidence, especially for pet parents seeking to provide the best for their companion animals.
Be sure to check your local listings to confirm the correct day and time in your location (Mon-Fri 7-9 am and Sat 9-2 pm EDT & PDT).
We encourage you to watch this televised event live and post your comments here on the company blog, to let us know what you think about our moment in the spotlight.
This month, I'd like to share with you a study on spay and neuter procedures that's making big waves in veterinary circles. It really has surprised many people. However, before I launch into the review, I want to caution you that sometimes studies can be misleading, so let's take the following with a grain of salt before we overhaul the way we think about the importance of alteration surgeries.
This new study was published by researchers at the University of California – Davis. It indicates that neutering may adversely impact the risk of some dogs for developing certain cancers and joint problems. This study runs counter to prevailing sentiments, so it's worth a review of where we stand now. More...
Stories about our foundation's charitable giving are some of the most popular features on this blog. If you are a regular reader, you'll have a pretty good idea what kinds of rescue groups are chosen as recipients of our financial assistance. Regardless of their structures or focus, whether they're traditional dog-and-cat shelters or breed-specific foster networks, you'll know that every one of these awardees is deserving of the help our foundation provides.
What you may not know is that, on every application for funding, applicants must submit specific information … about their finances, daily operations, cleaning protocols, how they would respond to hypothetical situations, and more. One pertinent question posed is, 'If your funding request is granted, what are your plans for the money?' When it comes to saving the lives of animals subjected to homelessness, neglect and abuse, sometimes the most noble goals are also the most universal … the provision of nourishment, shelter and a healing touch. These are definitely cases where the immediate needs of the few are weighted more heavily than tomorrow's needs of the many. More...

I don't really remember too much about Sweet Valley High, just that my babysitter was hooked! She'd come over on the weekend, watch a little Saved by the Bell, and then have her stack of mags and Sweet Valley Highs all ready to go. If I would have been a hair older, I most likely would have been all over this 152+ book series. Well, I might just have to get into the series since...DIABLO CODY is going to write and produce an adaptation of it! I'm sure Cody-speak (or whatever you wish to call it) will make its way into the adaptation, which is fine with me since the cutesy, bubble-gum world of twins Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield will need a little spice. In a time where adaptations and the reformatting of beloved semi-classics are running rampant (St. Elmo's Fire is going to become a tv show, 90210 and Melrose Place are in full force, Harry Potter and Twilight are huge, etc), I just hope this one won't be lost in the shuffle. Do us proud, Diablo! nicole!

WARSAW, Ind., Feb. 6, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lake City Bank, the single bank subsidiary of Lakeland Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:LKFN), announced today that the bank has been included in the Bank Director Magazine "Nifty 50" List of high performing banks for the second consecutive year.
The Nifty Fifty is compiled by Bank Director and Sandler O'Neill + Partners to rank "the top 50 best users of capital based on profitability and capital strength." All U.S. banks and thrifts that trade publicly on the NYSE, NASDAQ and NYSE Amex stock exchanges are measured on two financial metrics: core return on tangible common equity and the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets. According to the report, "In an age where banks are forced to carry more capital, the ability to deliver industry leading returns without the advantage of high leverage provides affirmation of the bank's strategy and the execution skills of its management."
Michael L. Kubacki, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are delighted to be included on this list of top performing banks in the country and are particularly honored to be one of The Nifty Fifty as it reflects both a robust capital position and strong earnings performance. The team at Lake City Bank has been focused on these two key metrics as part of our strategic plan and we are very pleased with this recognition."
David M. Findlay, President and Chief Financial Officer, added, "We have significantly strengthened our capital structure over the past five years without compromising our focus on creating value for shareholders. We're proud of the fact that the two are not mutually exclusive at Lake City Bank and our appearance on The Nifty Fifty for the second consecutive year is further evidence of our consistent performance." Lakeland Financial Corporation is a $3.1 billion bank holding company headquartered in Warsaw, Indiana. Lake City Bank serves Indiana with 45 branches located in the following Indiana counties: Kosciusko, Elkhart, Allen, St. Joseph, DeKalb, Fulton, Hamilton, Huntington, LaGrange, Marshall, Noble, Pulaski and Whitley.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

kale and sunflower ? The plants are gnawed to the stems so I now only have a skeleton plant. The tomatoes, peppers, chamomile, chives, squash, basil, cilantro planted right next are fine.
I live in a city lot, no deer. Could it be squirrels ?

Here are another couple of stacked large box-like structures to protect mason bee houses during the pollination season,
Stacked box Sysem for pollinating field crops |
The small boxes with holes at the front are 'emergence boxes" for releasing bees (contain 100-200 mason bee cocoons). In this setup, there are 8 on the left hand side of the upper shelf and 3 on the upper shelf on the right hand side. I ran out of emergence boxes, and had to use an old bird nest (upper LHS).
One problem with this structure is that it catches the wind and it makes it more difficult for bees to fly in and out of the nest. The wind also makes it colder around the nests.
Note the electric fence used to prevent bear damage. For increased stability, 3 posts were hammered into the ground and nailed to the boxes.
Looking back to these structures, the yurt is a dream to use. In the next few blogs, I will be writing about our yurt designed by Charley Ford. The uprights are no problem , but the roof design is a bit tricky.
