River Dochart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Dochart (Scottish Gaelic: Dochard) is in Perthshire, Scotland.
Coming from Ben Lui, it flows east out of Loch Dochart and through the glen of the same name. At Killin just before it enters Loch Tay are the Falls of Dochart. The river is sometimes also considered to be a part of the upper reaches of the River Tay.

Chef and owner Gaetano Turi has fed his Italian feasts to such celebrities as Bill Cosby and Brad Garrett inside Barolo Ristorante. The Italian-born Turi learned his culinary skills with formal training in Rome, and now stamps his own twists on classic dishes, including homemade gnocchi stuffed with spinach and risotto drizzled with merlot. Fresh seafood, flown in daily, transforms into bay scallops dunked in a brandy cream sauce and New Zealand orange roughy baked with garlic and white wine. The restaurant itself oozes of old world Italian. The dining room's recessed ceiling is painted in gold and red hues, while the bar sits under golden tin-plated ceiling tiles. Warmly lit chandeliers and tabletop candles and strobe lights offer a cozy dining experience.
Between ornately tiled ceilings and gleaming hardwood floors, D'Bellagio Spa and Salon's stylists enhance images with facial threading, waxing, chip-resistant Shellac manicures, and massages. In a technique rooted in Indian and Asian cultures, the spa's threading specialists uproot unwanted hair by ensnaring it in twists of cotton string, much like the skincare practices of newborn kittens. Staffers transform hair and nails with acclaimed products by Shellac and Moroccanoil and test-drive all-new beauty products before applying them to clients' physiques.
The mexican taco sounds self-explanatory, but at Pizza for U, the moniker refers to a specialty pizza. Crowned in refried beans, taco meat, and tortilla chips, it evokes Mexico without abandoning the menu's bedrock dish. Other specialty pies, such as the sauce-less white pizza and a meat lover's pizza with two types of sausage, round out the selection, along with build-your-own variations in thin crust and deep-dish styles. Meanwhile, burgers, gyros and three types of chicken wings suggest an alternative to pizza, much like the Ninja Turtles' personal trainer.
Gnarly's Eatery flavors each of its pizza pies with just a hint of the mythical with the apocryphal Legend of Gnarly, the cheese-riddled epic story of their founding. The myth translates into truth, though, in their fine pies paired with craft beers and topped with premium dairy products. To whet appetites for their oven-baked, golden disks of bread, butter, and cheese, the cooks craft deep-fried Gnarly nuggets sprinkled with parmesan cheese and the Apollo, a quarter-pound mozzarella stick.

In discussions of "diversity," not everyone recognizes that gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation are important points of cultural difference that merit recognition and voice. Members of the University who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and/or queer often face isolation, silence, and invisibility. This workshop is an opportunity for participants to learn about GLBTQ identities and communities, and to identify strategies they can employ to create a more open and welcoming campus climate.

Hey, currently I'm working on playing solo top and I need 4-6 good champions to practice a lot with. Right now I only really pick Irelia, would you recommend me 5~ more solid tops to cover some good matchups?
Owl Be Back
Thanks for the suggestions. Do you have any tips on how to dominate your lane (at solo top again)? Right now I focus so hard on getting my last hits and it tends to make me play really passive in lane. I just can't seem to play like a bully, either I'll get out damaged, or they will position fairly well, etc. I don't want to continue playing how I currently am, should I start playing really really aggressive (to get a proper understanding of when to play aggressive) so I don't get too used to playing really passive and farming/using my mana to sustain?

Hi! I am currently working on getting gold in ranked so I can get the WH Janna skin Personally, I dislike pvp but I am a die hard skin collector and will feel bad for not even trying to get to gold come the 13th. I am currently sitting at 1200 Elo after about 15 matches with 8 wins and 7 losses. My strong suit is Mage and is weak at jungling or supporting. I would like to know how to win my lane as a Mage and how to distribute my advantage with my team. Also, I would like to know how to kill some one in mid. I can usually out farm the enemy but can't do anything about getting kills unless the enemy over extends. Thanks in advance! P.S. I would also like to know how to "Carry" to 1520 elo.
What champion do you think is the safest to first pick for each lane? Aside from lane swappers like Kennen and Vlad
you sound like you help alot of people out +1 just for being helpful! I will be sure to check our your channel tonight

Poni on the express out of Toronto?
A year after Nik Antropov was shipped out of Toronto, will his buddy Alexei Ponikarovsky also be on the move come the March trade deadline?
If Maple Leafs president Brian Burke does, in fact, hold on to slick puck-moving defenceman Tomas Kaberle, there are indications from around the league that Ponikarovsky would be the one remaining Toronto player who would fetch the most in a deal.
Turco may not be in Stars' long-term plans
Mike Heika
I know it doesn't matter in the real world of sports, but I like Marty Turco.
He's a good guy who does a lot of good things for a lot of people. He donates time and money to charity. He believes it's part of his job to sell the South on hockey. He finds ways to make his job fun.

Rangers eye Lecavalier
BRUCE GARRIOCH, Ottawa Sun
Vincent Lecavalier could be headed to Broadway and a reunion with John Tortorella, his coach from the 2004 Stanley Cup-champion Tampa Bay Lightning.
Price Has to Be Right for Bruins to Go After Ilya Kovalchuk
The 2010 NHL trading deadline is less than two months away, but one player that has been mired in trade rumors all season has been Atlanta Thrashers sniper Ilya Kovalchuk. The 26-year-old forward is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
Kovalchuk deal may tempt Isles
The Islanders have managed to become relevant this season, despite the absence of an established goal scorer.
But GM Garth Snow may be in the market to change that, if Atlanta's star left wing Ilya Kovalchuk is made available before the March 3 trade deadline, a source told The Post yesterday.
Svatos on the block
Talking to some sources around the league of late, and one thing has been brought to my attention: Marek Svatos is definitely available at a decent offer. Maybe just an OK offer. He's a guy in the last year of his contract, making pretty good money, who isn't playing right now and wants to play. So this is no huge scoop, but there are some talks going on between the Avs and a few teams with some interest.
Senators GM sets sights on centre
BRUCE GARRIOCH, QMI Agency
Senators GM Bryan Murray is looking to add a centre to help get the team out of its scoring doldrums.
As the Senators continue their five-game road trip tonight against the Thrashers and struggle to hang onto a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, two league executives told the Sun yesterday that Murray is trying to deal for a centre.

Oil prices could be slashed
Tambellini could be ready to wheel and deal at trade deadline with Edmonton in last place
By BRUCE GARRIOCH
Steve Tambellini is under the gun.
The Oilers GM is desperate to make moves with his team mired in last place in the Western Conference.
And don't be surprised if Tambellini is one of the biggest wheelers and dealers before the March 3 NHL trade deadline.
The Oilers are willing to move just about anybody on their roster as things have gone from bad to worse since goalie Nikolai Khabibulin, Edmonton's big off-season free-agent signing, went down with a back injury.
Forwards Andrew Cogliano, Robert Nilsson and Ethan Moreau are on the market.

Hello I was wondering if anyone could help with some information on these cute plates I purchased over the weekend. My guess is that they are early transferware but I can't find any information on their potter and the approximate time when they were made. I also have a couple of other questions on them. The color of the pattern and bottom mark is a plum color - not blue. Is it possible it was blue and changed color over time due to the condition of the glazing? I also noticed a set of 3 little dots on the front of each plate, and 3 sets of 3 dots on the back. The dots appear to go through the glazing. Could that have been from the plate being positioned on top of something during the firing/glazing process? I will detail out the photos below. Thank you in advance for your time, -- Pauline |
Follow-Up Postings:
Made by Wood & Chalinor c1840, in Mulberry colour. The sets of dots are firing points from being stacked in the kiln. mfrog |

When Rihanna's naked pictures hit the net, the performer says she mailed her mother flowers.
In RiRi's recent interview with Hot 97, besides talking about her love for "boobies," the singer also talked about her shock to find her naked body splashed over the Internet earlier this year.
"I was [freaked out]," she admitted. "It was the worst thing that could possibly ever happen to me. I just felt like my whole privacy was taken before that [first photo leak] and then, when that came out, I thought, 'Oh great, so now there's nothing they don't know about me and my private life."
In the photos, Rihanna stood in a bathroom with her face halfway covered.
"It was humiliating and it was embarrassing especially my mom having to see that," she said, adding that she sent her mom flowers two days before the photos leaked. "I was nervous [but] when the world is against me she's always there supporting," the singer said.
Right before the naked pictures surfaced, disturbing photos of the singer battered by her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown surfaced. Without indicating when exactly the nude photos were taken, Rihanna said that pictures were for him.
"They were for my boyfriend at the time," she says, before adding, "if you don't send your boyfriend naked pictures, then I feel sorry for him." --Linda Hobbs

Ngami, Lake
Ngami, Lake
Shallow lake, northwestern Botswana, north of the Kalahari Desert. It was a large lake, estimated at more than 170 mi (275 km) in circumference when the explorer David Livingstone sighted it in 1849. The lake varies in size with the amount of rainfall, and, although it is much smaller today than in Livingstone's time, it is rich in birdlife.

Lampard Linked With United
It could turn out that Frank Lampard may be tempted by Sir Alex Ferguson to come to Old Trafford for a couple of season's seeing as Chelsea don't want him.
The London based outfit are not going to be giving Lampard a new contract as they believe that he is past his sell by date.
But reports suggest that Fergie does not feel the same way and although America and China will be coming forward with big money deals, United could offer him the chance of another couple of years at the top level.
If anything does come of this it is likely that United would offer him a 12 month contract with an option of another year should things go well.

For visitors to Beijing that have something of a scientific bent, one must-see attraction is that of the site where Peking Man, who in recent times has also been called the Beijing Man, was first discovered. This is a fossil uncovered in the 1920s of a well-preserved specimen of early man. It is thought to date as far back as 250,000 to 400,000 years, making it an extremely significant and important cultural find. In the 1940s, however, during China's conflicts with Japan, the remains were to be sent to the United States for temporary safekeeping. They vanished en route, however, and have not been seen since. Visitors, however, still delight in the opportunity to speculate about what became of him.
The site of their excavation, however, remains a great natural wonder, and over the years, many other important fossils have been uncovered there. In 1987, the site was declared a Word Heritage Site by UNESCO, and has been carefully preserved since.

Are the golden years over for gold? With prominent hedge fund managers such as George Soros selling large quantities of gold and the price down about 16.5 percent from 2011's all-time peak near $1,924, some experts think gold's best days could be tarnished by the world's nascent economic recovery.
"We have been concerned about gold and silver prices for some time and the recent loss of momentum has concerned us even more," said Citigroup analyst Jon Bergtheil in a report.
He says it's possible that the 12-year bull market in gold and silver has ended.
"If gold is currently peaking, it may have a long way to go down in terms of dollars per ounce as well as in the matter of the extended time frame," he said.
So investors who bought gold thinking it would always be a winner could be disappointed by a slump much worse than gold's slide to $1,604 an ounce Tuesday. The last time a bull market in gold ended, in 1980, gold was a loser for more than 20 years after peaking at $850 an ounce. Gold declined to $252 and didn't return to $850 until 2008.
Bergtheil is recommending that investors who invest in mining company stocks move from what he calls the "insurance metals" to industrial metals.
The thinking is that gold and silver were purchased for protection from the financial crisis and Great Recession in 2008. And as the Federal Reserve and other central banks throughout the world attempted to resuscitate the global economy by pouring trillions into the system, gold has been attractive as a hedge against potential inflation.
Recently, however, with some signs of recovery in China and the U.S., stocks have become increasingly attractive, and some hedge funds - which move money around as they see opportunity in different types of investments - have added stocks to portfolios while selling some gold.
Bergtheil has suggested to client investors in metals to select industrial metals used for construction and industrial purposes rather than gold and silver. Platinum, a precious metal that also is used for industrial purposes, has climbed about 10 percent this year while spot gold has declined 4.25 percent.
Still, getting a clear signal on gold for the long term isn't easy.
Gold has "proven to be fickle," said commodities analyst Suki Cooper, of Barclays. "For now, gold appears to be without a clear driver given its range trade amid reduced investor conviction."
But he noted in a recent report to clients that as Congress begins to debate what to do about the nation's deficit and debt ceiling this spring, gold could be revived as a haven.
In August 2011, when gold was near its peak, investors were worried about European and U.S. political leaders unable to solve debt problems. At the time, the United States' debt rating was downgraded by Standard & Poor's, and European debt issues threatened to set off banking problems that could infect the global financial system.
Since then, European leaders have calmed investors by providing aid to troubled banks and countries. Stocks have climbed sharply in Europe and the U.S. as a result. And since European Central Bank leader Mario Draghi pledged to "do whatever it takes" to keep the eurozone intact, investors have become increasingly optimistic.
Yet as the Federal Reserve and other central banks have poured massive amounts of stimulus into the system - or what is often called "printing money" - investors have continued to invest in gold as a potential hedge against inflation and a decline in the dollar's value.
The presumption has been, however, that if the Fed signals an end to stimulus, gold prices will recede.
Meanwhile, analysts such as John LaForge, of Ned Davis Research, warn investors that "decoding gold's drivers at any given moment is risky business."
"In the short-term, 2013, we think the greatest risk to gold is a U.S. dollar rally," he said, but adds: "The big caveat here is that gold has more moving parts than a Swiss timepiece."
That should be a sobering message for individuals swept up by late-night TV and radio ads touting gold as a no-brainer under any conditions.
LaForge thinks there is still upside for gold, but says that "how much upside gold has left will depend largely on the pace of global money printing."
Various gold promoters argue that gold investing is protection amid fear, a hedge against inflation or a bet on the Federal Reserve's stimulus, LaForge said, but: "The truth is that gold falls somewhere in the middle of all of that."
He warned: "Gold is anything but simple."

Great product.
Shoe very comfortable and light weight almost too light, good for shorter walks (30 minutes or less) but prefer sturdier shoe for longer walks/hikes. This may be because I am 73 and very careful about my feet. More supportive shoe than Mimosa Glee which I also have but don't wear if I am going to be standing or walking very much. Happy to have something in size 10.5. Why do you not have this size in all your shoes? Not a fan of bright colors so more neutral options would be nice. Love good, consistent fit and quality of Merrell.

everyday use around house and daily activites that don't involve long walks

The Hill Family's Surprise Vac(PICS)*NEW*Final Thoughts,Tips & Pictures **4/25
Trip Dates: September 9 - 17. POP 60's
Free Dining and MNSSHP We have been to WDW once and had the time of our lives. We had all became Disneyholics. Ever since first trip we have all longed for the mouse and his house. We were so eagar to get back never realizing it would be within a year... The Cast: Myself: Queen Mommy, Planner and Keeper of all Schedules, Bargain Shopper, Thrill Rider, the Photographer, Southern Belle, Kid at Heart DH: Wears Grumpy Shirts but is really Prince Charming, NYer turned Southener but still NYer at heart, Will Do Anything for Italian Food, Clock Watcher, Family Pack Mule, Gem of a Guy DS12: Fun Lovin' Goofy Kid, Joker, Animal Lover, Sports Enthusiast, Lover of Thrill Rides, Never Meets a Stranger DD7: Beautiful, Sweet Princess, Singer, Artist, Dancer, Lover of All Things Glitterey and Girly, Diva in Training, Lover of the Mouse, Hidden Mickey Seeker I believe ..it all started around March. I was on the DIS and noticed the free dining promotion. We had went the previous fall and gotten the same deal and what fun we had. That was our first trip and we all feel in love with WDW. For months we had talked about it and relived the magic. So when I saw the free dining promo again my heart went pitter-patter. I talked to my DH and we debated all the pros and cons of another Disney Vacation. This promotion would not coincide with our fall break like our previous trip did so the kiddos would be missing more school. Doesnt the school board know that they are really messing with my WDW vacation when they change the fall dates??? I think I must write a letter Anyway, after a bit of thought we decided it was worth it and booked the trip. However, we decided not to tell the kids. We felt this best to keep their head in school and keep them on track, especially DS12. He is in middle school and we knew it would be harder for him. We knew it would be so much fun to surprise them. Let me say it was incredibly hard not to spill the beans over the next few months. So over the summer I planned and researched and made ADRs. I talked to teachers, shopped for a few surprises and goodies. I worked on our itinerary, made lists, read TRs and dining reviews on the DIS, made more lists and subbed to TourGuide Mike. My kids started accusing me of being addicted to the computer and really gave me some grief over it. If they only knew. I thought I am going to make them eat their words . We thought it would be fun to come up with a treasure hunt of sorts. So we came up with 8 different clues written on envelopes and in each envelope I had put a few letters cut out into squares (all in different fonts just to make it a bit harder). Once they found all of the clues they were to work together at the kitchen table to solve the clue which was When You Wish Upon a Star and then I had written a poem to really reveal the surprise. My poem was entitled Dreams Do Come True. So as the Big Reveal drew closer it was so difficult not to tell. I was so excited I could hardly stand it. My DH and I were about to burst Another difficult aspect of planning a surprise (especially with older kids) is you cannot pack before hand. So the day before our trip (luckily my DH had the day off work) we are running around like crazy people trying to get it all done. Just a side note this makes for a really tired and rather grumpy travel day. Oh well Last edited by cherokeemamma; 04-25-2007 at 10:53 PM. Reason: changing the title |

The Surprise Day is finally here
While the kids are at school and we are running around the house like loons, sneaking to their schools to pickup homework, getting everything ready for our house/dog sitter basically going nuts. We had all of the luggage and packing stuff in our bedroom and when the kids came home from school we closed the door and told them our room was off limits. That under no circumstance should they go in there. We told them we had a really fun surprise for them and part of it was in our room. They started guessing all kinds of stuff everything from a new pet to a surprise toy to their Aunt was hiding in there. We said youll just have to wait and see. After the mandatory after school snack we told them we had planned a treasure hunt for them. We gave them some rules about finding the clues 1) you must work together that it wasnt a competition 2) no running or racing ahead to find the next clue 3) not to open the envelopes until instructed to do so 4) under no circumstance should they argue or enter our bedroom Well they were so excited at this point that I thought they were going to burst. They started the hunt and found most of the clues easily and quickly. A couple were more difficult than the others but eventually they figured it all out. The last clue instructed them to work at the kitchen table together to solve the puzzle. They opened all of the envelopes and spread all of the letters out. They were stumped for a minute or two but then all of a sudden my DD said, I think it spells out When You Wish Upon A Star. My DS said no, it doesnt My DH and I looked at each other in disbelief that she had figured it our so quickly. They kept working. I could hardly contain myself any longer and said, Why dont you try Allisons suggestion and see Well low and behold, it did spell out When You Wish upon a Star and of course, she got in an I told you SO!!! or two. I still do not think they got it so I handed them the poem to read. My DD had grabbed hold of her brothers arm and as he read it she jumped up and down and squeezed him harder and harder. Here is my poem The Kingdom were going is magic they sayNow, they got it!!!! They ran up and down the hall and jumped for joy. We got a ton of hugs and kisses and shouts about how much they loved us and how awesome we are. But they still did not know when we were actually leaving. My DH asked them, when do you think we are going? They answered, Christmas, Spring Break, my Birthday We said, No, we are going in the morning!. They said What!!!! In the morning!!!! Oh my gosh, We are going to Disney world in the morning!!!! Well, with that they ran into the front yard cheering, laughing and running around like wild crazy people. We finally told them that we would be flying this time instead of driving and that called for a whole other series of hoots and hollers. Then they opened their goody bags which had a new T-Shirt, Disney dollars, and some pins I had purchased on Ebay for them to trade. It was awesome and I am so glad we pulled it off. I do not know if I will ever want to do it again though! We finally finished packing around 1 am and had the clock set for 3:30 am. Thats right ... 2 ½ hours of sleep. I told you we were tired and on the grumpy side. My Dad took us to the airport and it was truly uneventful with the exception of the Osama Bin Laden security what a pain. We do not fly often so it probably seemed more inconvenient to us than those who are accustomed to it. The big problem is my DH suffered a brain aneurysm several years ago and it left him with a few struggles; one of which is inflexibility with his legs. So taking off and putting on shoes can be slow if not difficult for him. You know you feel like people are staring at you and they can be very impatient so I think it just really stresses him out more than anything. But who cares We are on our way to WDW!!! We arrived in 1 hour and 12 minutes. YIPPEE!!! It was 9:15 in the morning and we were already in Orlando. That was great. I personally loved the Orlando airport. It was my first time there and I thought it was very pretty and clean. We used ME and it was very convenient and quick. My only gripe and it is my own fault is that I thought you had the option of getting your luggage or leaving it and they would pick it up instead. I did not realize if you tagged it they took it directly from the plane and you would not have the option of getting it yourself. Big mistake since my DD sneakers were in the suitcase and not the carry on. It all worked out in the end but I had much rather be in charge of my own luggage. If you use ME be aware of that. It is a great and convenient service but it can take several hours to get your luggage. We arrived at POP Century within 45 minutes. just after arriving at POP! The check-In line was huge compared to our last trip but it moved along quickly. Our room was not ready and since we did not have DD sneakers we decided to eat and visit the game room. We could have used the DP but opted to pay OP for lunch. We shared 2 hamburger meals and just sat there zoning out for a while. My DD and DS found a pink wallet that obviously belonged to a child. It had a fair amount of money in it; around $35.00 or so. It was a good time to teach a lesson in honesty so we took it to the concierge and turned it in. I was a little disappointed in the CMs lack of conversation about it. She never even thanked my children for turning it in. They did not need big pats on the back but a little thank you for being honest or something to that effect would have been nice. Then I wondered what she did with it. Would she pocket the money? It really left me with an uneasy feeling. In the Game Room at POP!About an hour or so had past since check-in so we checked to see if our luggage had arrived. That was another ½ hour to 45 minute wait. But thankfully our luggage was there. We got my DD sneakers and went to check and see if our room was ready. The CM we spoke to asked, Why did they put you in a room that wasnt ready? We said, I dont know.? He typed and checked this and that and said I have a room for you that is ready. It is in the 60s, is that OK? We said, Absolutely, thats great So went back to luggage services and informed them that our room was ready. We took our carryons to our room and changed clothes and headed out to the MK. looking for the castle It was a beautiful afternoon...just before entering the gates By this time it was around 2 pm and the MK closed at 6 pm for NOJ. Later that evening, we had ADRs at Chef Mickeys at 6:40. |

Now we enter the kingdom...
It was a very beautiful afternoon. We were thrilled to be there and smiling all the way down Main St. We saw a couple of characters on the way and noticed that they had already removed most of the gold from the castle. It looked kinda naked...still beautiful though.
We had a fun afternoon despite our sleep deprived state. Our first ride was SM (one of my personal fav.), BTMR (I don't like...too rough), Pirates (love it...HUGE JDepp Fan, so I loved the addition as well as the Davy Jones), went to Fantasyland and rode several rides there. Saw Philharmagic, which I think is just fantastic. It was quickly approaching 6 and the skies suddenly looked stormy. On the way out we stopped to see Ariel. She was sooo funny. She definately stayed in character. As you can see from the picture she was combing her hair with a dinglehopper! My DD thought that was quite funny.BTW, everything was walk on. Which was great. I think we waited maybe 5 minutes for Peter Pan. I wasn't sure how the restaurants would be since I had read about how crowded and fully booked they were. We were so excited to be there and all day my kids kept saying, "We're at Disneyworld!!! Oh my gosh." "I can't believe we are here! This time yesterday we were at school!" We head out to the monorail and onto the CR. It was really looking stormy now and by the time we got up to the podium at Chef Mickeys it looked like the bottom fell out. It was a rather intense storm. I felt really bad for all of those at NOJ in the rain. I wondered if the groups could still perform in the rain. We did not do the family picture because we were soooo tired. I felt like I needed toothpicks to hold my eyes open. We were early and they gave us a buzzer thingy to hold. . We went over and sat in a lounge area. My DH and myself could hardly stay awake. I must admit I fell asleep for a few minutes here and there while waiting. We did wait for about 40 minutes. I was so sleepy I really do not recall what I ate. I do remember the desserts being yummy and there was a great selection. Our waiter was awesome...very helpful and quick to fill our drinks. We told him how sleep deprived we were and he said it was probably the best way to be come in there. Our bill for Chef Mickey: 3 adult and 1 child 127.20. On Monday I finally remember to start taking pictures of the food. And once I had a good nights sleep I do remember what I ate. Here are a couple of pictures with the characters. My DD loves Mickey more than anything. She was so excited to see him again. After dinner we visited the CR gift shop. We had a thing about trying on all the hats! We left CR and headed to POP. We got in and all of our luggage was there as well as the groceries from gardengrocer.com. We had ordered some milk, yogurt, sting cheese and bottled water as well as 2 styrofoam coolers. We had bought some granola bars, crackers and poptarts from home. I am so glad we ordered the water. We could have done without the milk and probably 1/2 of the cheese and yougurt. It was great having the cold water. I unpacked and tried to organized all of our stuff in that tiny little room. The room really small but very clean. The beds did seem alot harder than I remembered from the last trip. I also thought the room seemed much nosier. I must say my DH and I did not sleep well all week. I wonder how the beds are at other resorts? Next time we need to find a good deal at a moderate. Mousekeeping was great and they brought us extra towels whenever we asked. We put in our wake up call for 7 am. Tomorrow was an Animal Kingdom day. Couldn't wait to ride EE. TTFN Last edited by cherokeemamma; 09-25-2006 at 10:10 PM. |

Cindy, just found your message re Henry Eakle. I had rec'd info from Jerry Eakle that links my g.g.grandmother, Teresa Jane (Eakle) Causey (daughter of Amos Eakle). You had listed Amos as one of the children of Henry & Mary May "Polly" Poffenberger. My gr.grandmother, Elizabeth (Causey) Isley, was a daughter of Teresa (Eakle) Causey. Jerry has filled me in with extensive listing of my Causey ancestors. I don't have the birthdates of Amos,Teresa and Elizabeth, do you? Would appreciate hearing from you.

Spew |
Nov 24, 2008 | Mature | |||
Spew is a dev tool based off Iriel's DevTools and Ace2's /dump commands. It does the same basic thing (running lua code snippets and printing out the results), but in a slightly different way. Why did I create Spew? I liked DevTools, but didn't like it's output style (sorry Iriel) I liked Ace2's style, but not it's code (table recursion so deep you need a timer to ensure you don't execute too long? Gag me with spoon!) I hated how both these addons spammed up the chatframe So what does Spew... |

- Great inexpensive nocks Review by Yury Vilin
Value Quality Price Comfortable to hold, nock arrow onto a string with nice clear 'click', cheap. Very pleased with these!
(Posted on 2/11/13)
- Excellent product and super cheap Review by Curtis Winn
Value Quality Price I match these in clear with the black 5 inch fletching, and 70 gr target point on port orford cedar shafts. They clip into my string just fine have a good solid feel to them and make excellent arrows.
One thing to note is that they do not have an indexing mark but I simply over come this by placing a mark on the arrow shaft at the cock feather or if you are a little more spendy you can get a set of 5 inch barbed feathers to differentiate from the rest. I find that a nice little sharpie dot does the trick to save time indexing and saves enough money that it is well worth it for me to do it that way.(Posted on 2/4/13)

How hard is the NCLEX???
0Feb 18, '07 by ksauce20I was just wondering how hard the NCLEX exam is for any Nurses that have already completed this test?? ...
0Feb 18, '07 by southernatheartI'm taking a Kaplan NCLEX review class in May. Its 5 days long or something...costs 355...but they guarantee you pass or you get your money back
0Feb 19, '07 by Sheri257The way I look at is this. You know how every semester you have new teachers and you have to adjust to their different testing style? Well ... to me at least ... the NCLEX is like that.
That's what makes it hard. It's a whole different ball game. The first thing Kaplan tells you is to forget about all of the tests you took in nursing school because, chances are ... it's not the same.
:typing -
0Feb 20, '07 by Leilah75_RNtricky and difficult! opppss didnt i just reword whirlwind's response? hehehehe... it is confusing, sometimes easy, sometimes hard. oftentimes mindblowing! :smiley_ab :smackingf :crash_com :lol_hitti
best of luck to all of us! -
0Feb 20, '07 by Pucca73Like many others mentioned before, do as many questions as you can. Use different books to practice. But, no matter how many questions you practiced, when you take NCLEX, you still will felt clueless simply because you could be tested on anything (which is impossible for one person to remember them all in a very short period of time). I used Sandure's CDs (Blue book and Q&R green book), NCLEX-RN made incredible easy CD, I also used Kaplan Q-bank for the week before the test. If you do that, you will recognize almost disease and medication on NCLEX. You have to have a basic knowledge to choose (or guess) the correct answer. Good Luck!!! You can do it. :smilecoffeecup:

(BaseballStL) -- The St. Louis Cardinals have set their sights on signing starting pitcher Roy Oswalt, according to Nick Carfado of the Boston Globe.
The report also states that the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox are also interested in signing the 34-year-old right hander.
It has been previously reported that Oswalt will be willing to sign a one-year deal which has made the free agent pitcher to be a hot commodity this offseason.
Oswalt would "love to pitch" in St. Louis, but the Cardinals currently have a five-man starting rotation which includes Adam Wainwright, Chris Carpenter, Kyle Lohse, Jaime Garcia and Jake Westbrook.
It is assumed that Westbrook would likely move to the bullpen if the Cardinals added Oswalt.

Is it to late to plant daylillies and glads that i have ordered??? i am going to plow up the zinnias that arent growing and plant something else...also are they good cut flowers? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by Chris_Canada z8 (My Page) on Tue, May 24, 05 at 12:58
Not too late at all for dahlias - as soon as I get off the computer I'm going to go plant another few hundred. They are first-class cut flowers, especially the ones with medium to small flowers. Some types, like singles and collarettes, aren't as good for cutting. Vase life varies between cultivars, but usually runs about 4-7 days. We've seeded lots of zinnias, too, and at this stage of the game don't expect most varieties to be doing too much. They sprout, but don't start growing strongly until the weather is consistently warm. Chris |
Chris, what part of Canada is in zone 8? Just wondered. |
I haven't even seeded my zinnias or cosmos yet...I've learned to wait until its consistently warm...as stated above! Wendy |
- Posted by Chris_Canada z8 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 3, 05 at 20:30
My guilty conscience knew I had to be planting more dahlias instead of sitting in front of the computer, so I read "dahlias" instead of "daylilies." Oops! Blueheron, we live in the beatiful Fraser Valley, just about on the edge of the Greater Vancouver area. The city of Victoria, on Vancouver Island, is even a bit warmer than we are. The ocean and the usual cloud cover in winter keep us relatively warm, but our springs are long and cool. Chris |

Daylilies don't make a good cut flower, they don't last, and they probably won't bloom for you if you plant them now-- but they'll bloom next year! they're worth growing even if they don't make good cuts (they have no vase life). Glads, you can probably plant now and get flowers in late summer, no problem. Kristen (who just finished glad-planting a week ago) |

So what did DapperDahlia actually plant -- daylilies or dahlias? Inquiring minds want to know......... |
I can't speak for Dapper, but I'd wager the dahlias are in, and he/she was wondering about daylilies and glads at this point. I have used daylilies as a cut; with a big stems full of buds and I warned the recipient that only one will open at a time, then needs to be plucked off. It keeps them involved with the flowers and I've never had a complaint ( to my face.) I had hundreds of one type of yellow dahlia with bronze tips, the only thing I had open to go with it were deep rust daylilies and it turned out to be a striking combination. |

Hehe yeah i (which is a she) planted dahlias weeks and weeks ago. I need to till and hoe later this afternoon red root is killing me. I ordered glads and i think that the company (Michigan Bulb) wont send them until fall or spring so thats a bust for this year but oh well. Thanks guys! |
- Posted by DapperDahlia z6 Pa (My Page) on Tue, Jun 7, 05 at 8:32
What is coming is 50 gladiolas....aka glads, and i was wondering if i can still plant them and if i dont plant them is they will last till next year? |

Review of Subdivision Rules
Last Updated: December 18, 2014
The Maine Land Use Planning Commission has a process underway for reviewing and possibly revising parts of its rules governing residential subdivision development. As part of this process, the Commission has been gathering advice and suggestions from property owners, individual stakeholders, businesses and other organizations familiar with the development process in the LUPC service area.
As a first step, the Commission conducted a survey of a small group of stakeholders in April of 2014, to get a sense for the types of issues that might come up in the review. We have posted an online survey in September of this year to reach out to a much larger group of stakeholders for advice and suggestions about how the Commission's subdivision rules can be improved. In addition, the Commission held a workshop in October with a panel of experts to discuss what makes for good subdivision rules. Issues that were identified in the surveys and the workshop have now been incorporated into a Master Issues List; a link to this has been added below.
For the next steps, the Commission has scheduled a series of stakeholder meetings to further develop the issues list, prioritize issues that have been identified, and discuss ways the rules could be revised to address these issues. The first meeting for stakeholders was held on October 29, 2014, from 9:00 AM to 12:00, at Jeff's Catering in Brewer. The second meeting is scheduled for January 7, 2015, from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, at Jeff's Catering.
All interested stakeholders are welcome to attend the stakeholder meetings. Meeting materials for Meeting Two, including the agenda, meeting worksheets and background information, have been added to the Resource links below. In advance of the meeting, the Commission asks that all participating stakeholders review the background materials, and take some time to work on the worksheets prepared for the meeting. Meeting Three has now been scheduled for February 25, 2015, from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, at Jeff's Catering. Materials for the last meeting will be posted as soon as they are available.

2014 Predictions? Bah, Humbug!
by Maarten Albarda on Dec 30, 8:46 AM
I learned a new word earlier this year, courtesy of fellow Online Spinner Max Kalehoff. To be clear, Max did not invent the word "listicle," but brought it to my attention through his post on the topic. If you want a definition of "listicle," I refer you to Wikipedia, or to Max's article. As far as I'm concerned, a listicle is usually nothing more than a PowerPoint bullet point slide masquerading as journalism or blog post, and it is everywhere in our online content world. At no time is the practice more prevalent then at year's end, with "The Best/Worst ...

The Pirate Bay, The U.S., And North Korea -- Or, Catch Me Online If You Can
by Kaila Colbin on Dec 20, 10:22 AM
The Pirate Bay is once again leading governments on a merry chase around the world. In the past week, it has migrated from Sint Maarten to Ascension Island to Peru to Guyana, where it sits as of the time of this writing. I would say it was under attack, but it's kind of unfair to call it an attack when it's so destined to fail. While The Defenders of Copyright pursue myriad legal actions to withdraw domain names from the peer-to-peer torrenting site, its owners simply shift to a new top-level domain with a few clicks

How Big Will The Digital Video Currency Market Be?
by Dave Morgan on Dec 19, 3:44 PM
I believe that the digital video currency market will be much bigger than the TV currency market, and that a market leader like Nielsen is likely to be able to extract more from the digital video market than the company does from TV today. Though, as with every firm operating in dynamic digital markets, it depends on Nielsen's execution. So it could also extract less in digital than TV.Here's why I believe this:

What Is The CMO's Role?
by Cory Treffiletti on Dec 18, 11:27 AM
There are lots of CMOs in the world, and some do more than others. In the past, I've said you should never trust a CMO who won't go out and sell, but it's more than that. To truly understand what makes a great CMO, you have to understand more about the role they play in your organization -- a role that will be changing over the next few years.

The Questions You Ask (And Don't) Reveal The Most About You
by Max Kalehoff on Dec 17, 9:44 AM
Every hiring manager has a favorite list of interview questions. They fortify the give-and-take of an interview while testing knowledge, skills, personality and interpersonal skills -- all in an effort to predict a job candidate's suitability. I'm always friendly and polite in interviews, and I'm genuinely interested in other people. But I like to get down to business by asking, "What questions can I be helpful answering?" In most cases, the response to that first question indicates within seconds how relevant, prepared and interested a candidate is.

Mary Meeker Is Right/Mary Meeker Is Wrong
by Maarten Albarda on Dec 16, 11:14 AM
In my daily practice, I interact with many Fortune 500 Companies from around the world. Most of them have embraced digital, social and mobile media as an integral part of their connections strategy. Some of them have done so out of a true belief and understanding of what these touch points add to the consumer experience and engagement with the brand. Others have done so "because I have to, says my agency/CMO/daughter." Consequently, ad spend in all these digital touch points continues to grow at a very fast rate. However, Rick Webb, a partner at VC fund Quotidian Ventures, made ...

WestJet Santa Stunt Leaves Sour Taste
by Kaila Colbin on Dec 13, 10:56 AM
We've all had that moment: the moment when you go against the grain, when you don't get the joke, when you refuse to go along with the meme or you're the only one pointing out that the emperor isn't wearing any clothes. I had that moment this week, when I finally watched the now-famous WestJet Santa video tearing up my NewsFeed - currently sitting on 15 million views and counting.

Almost three years after my last post to the Spin Board ("It's Not All Changing, But Nothing Is Going To Be The Same"), here I am again. I can't tell you how nice it felt to go back to read that last post, and still feel good about every word (can't say the same for all of them).

What Big Data Does For Brand Advocacy
by Cory Treffiletti on Dec 11, 1:31 PM
Have you ever had a one-on-one conversation with someone that was so important to you, you felt the need to share it with someone else? What made that interaction resonate so much for you? Brands can have this kind of impact on consumers through big data.

Divergent teen warriors defeat Muppets at box office
LOS ANGELES/NEW YORK (REUTERS) - Dystopian thriller Divergent, the story of a society that divides people based on personality traits, dominated weekend movie charts with US$56 million (S$71 million) in US and Canadian ticket sales, kicking off a new franchise for Hunger Games producer Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.
Walt Disney Co family comedy Muppets Most Wanted finished in second place, nabbing US$16.5 million from Friday through Sunday, according to estimates provided by Rentrak.
Animated Mr Peabody & Sherman, produced by Dreamworks Animation Inc, took the No. 3 slot with US$11.7 million.
Divergent is adapted from a popular series of young adult novels by newcomer author Veronica Roth. Ahead of the weekend, forecasters had predicted the film would debut with between US$50 million and US$68 million in North American (US and Canadian) ticket sales.

I know thanks to those who are serving, served, and have loved ones in harms way is shallow, but right now that is all I have with my undying respect for what all branches do to keep us safe
"[T]he people are not to be disarmed of their weapons.

The piece really makes us think of how blessed we are to be Americans. Hard to really frame into words the rush of emotions that I expierence. Awesome, I think sometimes we really forget how blessed we are to be living in this country. I think we are so quick to point out bad things and never really look at the big picture. Thank all service members, those that currently stand on the wall and to those that no longer stand.
Listen, Think and React.....Nuff Said.....
Just played the video, it touches a nerve. As I sit here in my home office guarding my family I think about our troops over there guarding us. Words cannot express the sadness in my heart when I turn on Fox news every morning and I hear another soldier has fallen defending his brothers, our freedoms and this United States of America. I shout out a thanks to our soldiers who are taking the fight to the jihadists so that we may live free and prosper. God bless our troops and the USA.............DVC GP

Dealing with disruption
This is all very exciting, and the transformations have been amazing. I feel a new kinship with all the veterinary hospitals we feature that have built new or remodeled. But there have been some headaches along the way. For one, my trash can is missing. How can a trash can just disappear? I have no idea. And I'm too busy right now to hunt it down or find a replacement. So I'm walking out and tossing my trash into the big barrel the construction guys are using. Another disruption, this one near-crisis-level: The coffee machine has been out of service for days. I've always complained about our machine brew and the silty mug-bottom residue it leaves, but now that I don't have that legal addictive stimulant practically within arm's reach, it's started to seem like nectar of the gods. (One of my coworkers says he's been nursing a caffeine-withdrawal headache the size of Texas for about 72 hours now.) All of this is in addition to the drilling, demolishing, paint fumes, and blocking of hallways by large unfamiliar men carrying furniture caked with a decade's worth of dust. You deal with your share of disruptions, too. From the client who arrives at your hospital with a patient in crisis to the interpersonal employee conflict that keeps everyone from focusing on the job at hand to the phone call from your spouse who can't pick up your daughter from school after all—a normal day in a veterinary practice is peppered with interruptions and distractions.The question is, how do we respond to these potential productivity pitfalls? There are many possibilities. We can get crabby. We can become distracted by the commotion and forget to focus on our duties altogether. We can refuse to respond at all to the disruption even when it addresses a legitimate need. Or, we can muster the patience we know is in there somewhere and focus on the big picture. I'm trying to do the latter, even though I'm also guilty of some (OK, all) of the former at various times. They say that how we react under stress reveals our character—we're like cups that, when jostled, spill a little bit of our contents for all to see. So I'm trying to keep that in mind and spill something nice instead of something nasty. All I ask is that you not judge too harshly before the coffee machine is up and running again.
