Fish Bowl Gelatin
To make the soda go flat, twist off cap, and let the bottle stand at room temperature overnight.
- Yield: Fills a 2 1/2-quart fish or glass bowl
Source: Martha Stewart Kids, Summer/Fall
- 1 two-liter bottle lemon-lime soda, flat
- 4 1/4-ounce packages unflavored gelatin
- 2 drops blue food coloring
- 2 ounces gummy fish
Place 1 cup soda in a large bowl. Sprinkle gelatin evenly over soda, and let stand to soften, about 5 minutes.
Place 2 cups soda in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat until just before a boil. Add the softened gelatin, stirring to dissolve the gelatin completely over the heat, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the remaining soda and food coloring, and stir to combine. Pour the liquid into the fish bowl. Using a damp paper towel, carefully remove any bubbles that have formed on the surface. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill overnight.
When ready to serve, use a sharp knife to make vertical slits in the gelatin; insert the fish in a random pattern to make it look as though they are swimming in the bowl. Keep refrigerated until serving. Serve within 6 hours.

I tried it this way with the soda and Swedish fish and the kids hated it! So, I gave it a few "tweeks" I used half a pack of blue jello and 2 packs of unflavored gelatin with sprite. I waited until the jello cooled to room temp in the bowl, then added Nerds candy (they sank pretty well), After it had set up halfway, I put in the gummy fish (I found them at a local gas station, they were sour). I put it back in fridge and let it finish setting up, and Presto! The kiddos Loved it!!

I made this recipe over the weekend for my grandchildren and on their first bite they spit it out. The seven up gelatin had no flavor and making it was not easy either. When you cut into it, you have to dip the knife in hot water first or it just tears up the jello. But don't even waste your time. Use the recipe with blue jello. I am trying that one next.
Sarahlynn 7 Sep, 2012
Also does anyone know if I can add nerds to the bottom so it looks more like a fish tank. I'm worried the colors will dissolve??
Sarahlynn 7 Sep, 2012

Like layner said, we all tried blue powder and it just turns out terrible. I'm mixing Martha's method with the mini individual ones from cofessionsofacookbookqueen.com. I'm making them in little Ball jars and adding Nerds to the top like pebbles just before serving. I'll put the lid on and display upside down! The kids are going to love them!

I made this for an "under the sea" themed kids birthday party, and it was a huge hit! made two batches to fill my pampered chef trifle bowl and had some left over. I added 2 tbsp sugar to the saucepan and dissolved over heat to sweeten it just a little. The taste is light and refreshing-- not syrupy sweet. Also, to flatten the soda faster, pour it in a bowl and whisk until it stops fizzing- takes less than 5 min. Served in clear cups with whipped cream on top and a gummy fish to garnish. cute!
sarabentley 13 Aug, 2011
Because of layner's review I almost didn't try this. But I'm glad I did! Turned out great! The coloring was on point, it looked like natural water. The only mistake I made was putting the fish in too early. It HAD fully set, but the fish were put in so early that by the time I served it they absorbed the liquid & looked gushy. BTW blue jello is a terrible idea. Tried that first & failed. Martha had it right. Tip: Get the fish wet before sliding them in the slits so they don't pull on the jello.
layner 16 Jul, 2010
Tried that--way too dark! Looked more like dirty pond water than aquarium water...

Why not just use a blue jello powder??

Kazakhstan passes law on refugees
On Dec. 7, the president of Kazakhstan signed a law on refugees and ratified several amendments to other legislation intended to protect refugees and define their basic rights and obligations in Kazakhstan.
Madi Asanov
ASTANA — On Dec. 7, the president of Kazakhstan signed a law on refugees and ratified several amendments to related legislation intended to protect refugees and define their basic rights and obligations in Kazakhstan. The bills were approved by the Senate in November.
Kazakhstan's need to pass a law on refugees arose from its ratification on Dec. 15, 1998 of the UN Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. Pursuant to the Convention, Kazakhstan will have to abide by the principles of non-refoulement, the accessibility and transparency of the asylum process and the right to appeal decisions.
The law that passed and amendments to related legislation on refugees were based on the principles underpinning the Convention, and clearly set out the legal status and obligations of refugees in Kazakhstan. Providing travel documents for refugees and social welfare assistance for child refugees are among the new measures to be implemented. Amendments will also be made to the Code of Administrative Violations, and laws on immigration and state social welfare.
The new laws will take effect on Jan. 1, 2010. Funds will be allocated from the national budget for interpretation services, and the printing of certificates and travel documents.
According to the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare, 622 refugees were registered in Kazakhstan as of Oct. 1. Most are from Afghanistan. Almost two-thirds are of working age and four percent are children under 16 years of age.

We have all had the experience of a telemarketer calling your phone and how annoying it is. I mean why is it that they always call at the worst time. The other night our 6 month old just fell asleep and guess what happens?! Yep, our home phone rings and wakes up the baby. Darn telemarketers!
So, the call mentioned above was on our home phone. Luckily I have not got many telemarketer phone calls on my cell phone. Although I have received those annoying calls on my mobile they are far and few between. It is great that there is not a cell phone number directory available to the public otherwise we all may be getting more telemarketers calling our cell phones.
Now, not only are they calling at the most inconvenient times these callers also don't stop calling. So, what does one do when the telemarketer doesn't stop calling? People always say to tell them "No thanks. Take me off you list.". I have tried that but it seems like it doesn't work. The still call back!
Thanks to the internet you do have other options of getting these pesky callers to stop calling. One ways is to submit a complaint to the FCC (http://www.fcc.gov/complaints). Here you will have to fill out a few forms of information then the number will be submitted and reviewed. Another thing you could do is try to find more information on the phone number calling you. There are plenty of websites that have user comments on phone numbers. These users are in the same position as you and submit any information that they have on the phone number. By visiting these phone number spam websites you can find information on the number that is calling your. Most of the information is from other users but some of the better websites have more info than just user comments on the phone number. One of the better sites that I have seen with phone number information is everythingnumber.com. I did a search for a phone number that called me and it had a lot of useful information about that number. Here is an example of information on a phone number that has a complaint from a user: 2024369049.
If you want a telemarketer to stop calling you then you should file a complaint to the FCC. If you want to find more information on the phone number then you should use the major search engines to find websites that have information on that number.

For a humbly priced trip that doesnt require much planning, nothing beats Wildwood at the Jersey Shore. Excitement abounds at the two-mile beachside boardwalk, five amusement piers full of carnival games, and world-class waterparks.

Whether youre touring Elviss Graceland Estate, the historic Sun Studios (where Johnny Cash recorded), or one of the secret tunnels along the Underground Railroad, Memphis is an intriguing southern town drenched in American history. Memphis is known as the pork barbecue capital of the world, so no trip to this city would be complete without a visit to one of its barbecue restaurants, which serve up world-famous, melt-in-your-mouth ribs.
20. Saratoga Springs, New York
Tree-lined streets, a premier performing arts center, and action-packed horse racing are all part of what draws families to Saratoga Springs.

Sugoi Books Archives - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources
Digital manga service to shut down, pull books from cloud
Japanese Internet provider NEC Biglobe has announced it is ending service to its Sugoi Books Android app as of Aug. 7. This isn't really a loss for the world of digital manga, because the app wasn't very good. When I reviewed it last year, I found that the books were overpriced and slow to load, navigation was almost nonexistent, and purchases could only be made using one of those stupid points system in which the point increments never match the price of the book — and those points expire after 180 days.
Not satisfied with a terrible user interface, however, the Sugoi folks are going to give digital naysayers more fodder on their way out the door:
- All books downloaded before Aug. 7 will be available permanently on devices to which you have downloaded your books.
- Searching, purchasing, re-downloading purchased books, and updating the application will no longer be possible after Aug. 7.
This is exactly the scenario that makes skeptics say "I'll never buy digital comics." Sugoi's prices were high to begin with — as I noted in the review, two chapters of one manga cost almost as much as a full volume. The prices are even higher when it turns out to be just a rental. Allowing readers to keep the books they have already downloaded on their devices isn't tossing them much of a bone; most devices can't hold that much, and anyway, when I tested the app, downloaded books disappeared almost immediately. And even if you succeed in downloading books for keeps, and you have an Android device with lots of space to store them, what happens when your device breaks?

Tcf/Lef family transcription factors are the downstream effectors of the Wingless/Wnt signal transduction pathway. Upon Wingless/Wnt signalling, beta-catenin translocates to the nucleus, interacts with Tcf (1-3) and thus activates transcription of target genes (4,5). Tcf factors also interact with members of the Groucho (Grg/TLE) family of transcriptional co-repressors (6). We have now tested all known mammalian Groucho family members for their ability to interact specifically with individual Tcf/Lef family members. Transcriptional activation by any Tcf could be repressed by Grg-1, Grg-2/TLE-2, Grg-3 and Grg-4 in a reporter assay. Specific interactions between Tcf and Grg proteins may be achieved in vivo by tissue- or cell type-limited expression. To address this, we determined the expression of all Tcf and Grg/TLE family members in a panel of cell lines. Within any cell line, several Tcfs and TLEs are co-expressed. Thus, redundancy in Tcf/Grg interactions appears to be the rule. The 'long' Groucho family members containing five domains are repressors of Tcf-mediated transactivation, whereas Grg-5, which only contains the first two domains, acts as a de-repressor. As previously shown for Drosophila Groucho, we show that long Grg proteins interact with histone deacetylase-1. Although Grg-5 contains the GP homology domain that mediates HDAC binding in long Grg proteins, Grg-5 fails to bind this co-repressor, explaining how it can de-repress transcription.

Trainer Mario Morales will be running the career-untested Tapicero in the $50,000 Excellent Luck Stakes at Calder Casino & Race Course this Saturday. Later this month, Tapicero's stable mate, Casiguapo, will run in the $1 million Grade III Delta Downs Jackpot at Delta Downs.
All American Horses owns both Tapicero and Casiguapo. The colts were both purchased as yearlings at the 2012 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Fall Yearling Sale. While the Tapit-sired Tapicero, out of Love U Fran, by Phone Trick, was purchased for $20,000 as a post auction private sale, the Sightseeing-sired Casiguapo, out of Emerald Buddha, by Buddha, sold for just $4,700.
"I have a high opinion of (Tapicero) because he has good form besides his good pedigree," said Morales. "On paper, he does have the better pedigree. He has a lot of stakes siblings, children of Tapit, while Casiguapo doesn't have anybody. He is the exception. He is from the second crop of a young sire who, unfortunately, has already passed away."
Tapicero had two-straight bullet workouts in October, prior to two works from the gate in November in preparation for the 5 ½-furlong Excellent Luck. He posted a 4-furlong bullet work in :49 flat on October 13 and a 5-furlong bullet work in 1:02 flat on October 19. On November 2, he posted a 4-furlong gate work in :50.20 and a 3-furlong gate work in :37 on November 9.
Casiguapo, now graded stakes placed, started his career in the 5 ½-furlong Frank Gomez Memorial Stakes at Calder on June 22. He finished third as the second-longest shot on the board after having a difficult start, just missing a second-place finish in his debut.
"I entered him in a stakes race because I believe he is a very good horse," said Morales. "The people thought that he should run in a maiden and not in a stake; I thought that he could win the stake. The proof is that he ran third (after) breaking with the back (of the pack). He did very well, so much so in spite of being blocked at the start. He came out fine except for being blocked, which made him be behind. If that didn't happen he would have won that day."
Casiguapo returned to break his maiden one start later as the post-time favorite in a 5 ½-furlong maiden special weight race at Calder on July 20. He had a much better trip after he broke second and lead throughout the race, cruising to the finish line 11 lengths in front under a hand ride. According to Morales, he had the faith in Casiguapo to run him in a stakes race rather than a maiden claiming, but none were available at the time.
Casiguapo went north for his following two starts, which came in back-to-back Grade I races. First, he finished runner-up in the Grade I Hopeful Stakes at Saratoga Race Course as the longest shot on the board on September 2, then ran fourth in the Grade I Champagne Stakes at Belmont Park on October 5 as the third-longest shot on the board.
"In the two races he ran in New York, he should have run better, because he had his problems during the week and nevertheless they were good races, although it seems unlikely," said Morales.
Casiguapo leaves Calder for Delta Downs on Sunday to run in the $1 million Grade III Delta Downs Jackpot at Delta Downs, which is scheduled for a mile and a sixteenth on November 23.
"He did not run in the Breeder's Cup because he was not nominated for the Breeder's Cup," said Morales. "That is why we chose this race."
As for Tapicero, his performance in this Saturday's stakes race will determine whether he will be following in the Grade I footsteps of his stable mate, Casiguapo.
"First we have to see him race, and from there we will see what he will do," said Morales. "He still needs to grow, just like all babies. Those that have already run have a little more experience than a horse running for the first time. The first race serves like schooling, and if he wins, that is even better. I believe there is a good future because behind these horses there is another good group of babies for the upcoming year."
Morales has trained for more than 35 years – first in South America and then for a decade in the United States. He has trained multiple stakes horses and raced in various countries, including his native Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, and Argentina. While the ownership of All American Horses is young, its knowledge of horse racing extends far into the past.
"I have known them since they were children," said Morales. "I had horses for their parents 30 years ago in South America. That is where their liking for horses began. Year after year they kept knowing more and more, and now they are young owners with a lot of experience."
Tapicero breaks from post three in the Excellent Luck with jockey Abdiel Jaen aboard. The Excellent Luck is race seven on the card with an approximate post time of 3:30 p.m. Post time for the first race at Calder is 12:30 p.m.

Kim looked absolutely stunning on her wedding day in a Givenchy Haute Couture gown by Riccardo Tisci, and now we have a close-up view of the amazing details!
Kim Kardashian and Riccardo Tisci have become extremely close over the past few years, ever since he made her floral 2013 Met Ball gown with matching gloves. So we weren't too shocked to see that he created both Kim and Kanye West's wedding outfits — then he posted the details of her custom-made dress!
Kim Kardashian's Wedding Dress Details
"ABOUT LOVE @kimkardashian #family #love #kimandkanye," Riccardo, the creator of Givenchy, captioned a black and white Instagram pic of himself posing with Kim on May 24, her wedding day. (Plus, Kim and Kanye were voted VH1's Most Gossip-Worthy Celeb Couple by The Gossip Table!)

In the pic, taken in a photo booth at the Forte di Belvedere, we can see the top of Kim's Givenchy Haute Couture full-length gown. The detail is absolutely immaculate — it is full lace, and around the swoop-neck was a line of delicate pearls.
The gown featured handmade lace work and sheer paneling and included a long, silk veil. Givenchy also dressed 'Ye in a custom tuxedo and North West in a haute couture dress that matched her mother's!
Kim Changes Into Short Balmain For Reception
After walking down the aisle and saying her "I do's" in Givenchy, Kim changed into another lace dress — a mini by Balmain that was detailed with intricate crystals and pearls. It also had a plunging neck line, seen in many photo booth shots, like the one below.
Do you like the details of Kim's dresses, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

Norwich cyclist Emma Pooley admits she is considering taking a break from the sport after finishing fourth in the women's elite time trial at the UCI Road World Championships in Holland yesterday.
The 29-year-old wants to focus on completing her PhD after Germany's Judith Arndt successfully defended her title, completing the 24.3-kilometre route in Limburg in 32 minutes 26.46 seconds.
"It's a little bit disappointing," said Pooley after finishing in 33:15.79. "I couldn't have gone faster than the winner. I really don't think I could have gone much faster.
"I think I must have just been slower the whole way round. The winner was faster, that's the way it is."
Pooley, who was inconsolable after finishing sixth at the Olympics in London, admitted it has not been the best of years for her.
She added: "I don't feel that it's been satisfactory, and that's partly linked to results.
"I do feel like I've not improved this year, I've 'de-proved'. So that's not very motivating."
Evelyn Stevens of the United States was second in 33mins 00.23secs, with New Zealand's Linda Villumsen third in 33:07.03.
Pooley's Great Britain compatriot Wendy Houvenaghel, finished in 34:43.97 to place 14th.

Luang Prabang, Luang Prabang
Concierge.com's insider take:
The former royal capital of Laos, lovely Luang Prabang has an air of faded grandeur, with French colonial buildings jostling ancient red-roofed Theravada Buddhist temples and stupas with gold spires beneath Mount Phousi. A narrow, mile-long peninsula between the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers holds the historic district, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Considered the best preserved city in Southeast Asia, it's packed with gracious homes, shophouses, and temples, including gorgeous 16th-century Wat Xiang Thong. Inside the temple, gold-stenciled wooden pillars support a ceiling decorated with dharma wheels. Outside, the layered roofs swoop almost to ground level, while the rear wall gleams with a masterful Tree of Life mosaic. Every dawn, hundreds of monks gather at Wat Xiang Thong and other temples for tak bat, a 6 am walk through the misted streets to gather alms.
Another highlight is the former Royal Palace. Built in 1904 and now a national museum, it displays antique howdahs, lacquered manuscript boxes—and a bit of moon rock collected by Apollo 17 (a gift from President Nixon). The museum's prized possession is the Pra Bang, the town's eponymous standing Buddha image, reckoned to be 90 percent gold and revered as a source of spiritual protection for Laos. Exhibits at a new cultural museum, the Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre, document the country's rich ethnic mosaic (856-71-253-364; www.taeclaos.org).

No problem, Engle says Warner told him. As long as KHO abided by league rules during tournament play, they could do whatever they wanted during the regular season.
Reached on his home phone, Warner sounds badgered on all sides. "I'm the one that's the bad guy," he says between long, wheezing coughs, "because I'm the one that said you could play however you want during the season — which is not exactly how it happened."
But, as he explains it, his advice wasn't far off: "I said I have no problems with your local rules, as long as they conform to Little League rules, basically — within reason — and come tournament time, you return to Little League rules."
A spokesman at Little League, informed of Warner's response, hedges gracefully. "I couldn't comment on that," media relations manager Chris Downs says, "because I wasn't at that board meeting."
But Warner says Little League already knows of his dubious advice. "I got yelled at," explains the unpaid volunteer. "You wanna blame somebody, blame me. I don't really give a shit anymore. I'm fed up with the crap."
Miranda counters, "If they had a rogue DA giving us permission he wasn't allowed to give, why is that our problem?"
As far as the issue of crossover between Team Miami, the travel ball players, and the KHO All-Star team, Miranda says, nearly every travel ball player moonlights on some Little League team. But league honchos maintain the problem isn't that the Kendall kids played travel ball, but that they did so together, gaining experience as a team other Little League All-Star teams didn't get.
Miranda briefly threatened legal action — until he received a letter from a local law firm retained by Little League. Densely packed with references to legal precedents, it was the type of letter that only a lawyer can read, but with a message anybody could understand: You can give up now.
For the most part, that's what Miranda and the rest of the KHO folks have done. But the coach still scans Little League results with one eye. Coral Springs, so badly beaten by Kendall-Hammocks, lost its state tourney game by only one run, assuring Miranda that his team would have advanced. And when ESPN begins airing the final rounds of the World Series, he won't be able to help but wonder how badly his team of unbeatable prepubescents might have mangled the competition.
The two organizations have taken on the roles of wounded lovers. If KHO is to regain its charter, its administrators must swear to follow the rules this time. But for now, they're in no mood to beg. Says Engle: "We feel very manipulated by the whole thing."
There's some good news, though: The kids — who have sometimes seemed an afterthought in this scandal — have so far staved off that feared apathy. On a muggy Friday evening on a diamond in Allapattah, the banned players, wearing Team Miami uniforms, played with the skill and speed of high-schoolers. They won, but by only two runs, against the South Florida Suns, a team with deep enough pockets to fly in subs from Puerto Rico and California. In travel ball, these Kendall-Hammocks kids finally get some competition.

First page of translation by Graves | |
Author | Marcus Aurelius |
Language | Koine Greek |
Meditations (Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν, Ta eis heauton, literally "thoughts/writings addressed to himself") is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor 161–180 CE, setting forth his ideas on Stoic philosophy.
Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek[1] as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement.[2] It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes tell us that the second book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron) and the third book was written at Carnuntum. It is not clear that he ever intended the writings to be published, so the title Meditations is but one of several commonly assigned to the collection. These writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs.
The Meditations is divided into 12 books that chronicle different periods of Marcus's life. Each book is not in chronological order and it was written for no one but himself. The style of writing that permeates the text is one that is simplified, straightforward, and perhaps reflecting Marcus's Stoic perspective on the text. Depending on the English translation, Marcus's style is not viewed as anything regal or belonging to royalty, but rather a man among other men which allows the reader to relate to his wisdom.
A central theme to Meditations is to analyze your judgement of self and others and developing a cosmic perspective. As he said "You have the power to strip away many superfluous troubles located wholly in your judgement, and to possess a large room for yourself embracing in thought the whole cosmos, to consider everlasting time, to think of the rapid change in the parts of each thing, of how short it is from birth until dissolution, and how the void before birth and that after dissolution are equally infinite".[3] He advocates finding one's place in the universe and sees that everything came from nature, and so everything shall return to it in due time. It seems at some points in his work that we are all part of a greater construct thus taking a communitarian approach rather than having an individualist perspective. Another strong theme is of maintaining focus and to be without distraction all the while maintaining strong ethical principles such as "Being a good man".[4]
His Stoic ideas often involve avoiding indulgence in sensory affections, a skill which will free a man from the pains and pleasures of the material world. He claims that the only way a man can be harmed by others is to allow his reaction to overpower him. An order or logos permeates existence. Rationality and clear-mindedness allow one to live in harmony with the logos. This allows one to rise above faulty perceptions of "good" and "bad".
Marcus Aurelius has been lauded for his capacity "to write down what was in his heart just as it was, not obscured by any consciousness of the presence of listeners or any striving after effect". Gilbert Murray compares the work to Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Confessions and St. Augustine's Confessions. Though Murray criticizes Marcus for the "harshness and plainness of his literary style", he finds in his Meditations "as much intensity of feeling...as in most of the nobler modern books of religion, only [with] a sterner power controlling it". "People fail to understand Marcus", he writes, "not because of his lack of self-expression, but because it is hard for most men to breathe at that intense height of spiritual life, or, at least, to breathe soberly".[5]
D.A. Rees calls the Meditations "unendingly moving and inspiring", but does not offer them up as works of original philosophy.[6] Bertrand Russell found them contradictory and inconsistent, evidence of a "tired age" where "even real goods lose their savour". Using Marcus as an example of greater Stoic philosophy, he found their ethical philosophy to contain an element of "sour grapes". "We can't be happy, but we can be good; let us therefore pretend that, so long as we are good, it doesn't matter being unhappy".[7] Both Russell and Rees find an element of Marcus' Stoic philosophy in the philosophical system of Immanuel Kant.[6][7]
German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel offers a critique of Stoicism that follows similar lines, albeit covering different trajectories. In his Phenomenology of Spirit, Hegel attacks the preoccupation with the inner self as a severing, fatalistic barrier to consciousness. A philosophy that reduces all states of harm or injustice to emotional states "could only appear on the scene in a time of universal fear and bondage." The Stoic refusal to meet the world is anathema to Life, a central value in Hegel's philosophical work: "whether on the throne or in chains, in the utter dependence of its individual existence, its aim is to be free, and to maintain that lifeless indifference which steadfastly withdraws from the bustle of existence..." M.L. Clarke concurs in his historical work on philosophical ideas, The Roman Mind, where he states "[p]olitical liberty could hardly flourish after so many years of despotism and the indifference to public affairs which it bred. And philosophy fostered the same spirit."
Michael Grant called Marcus Aurelius "the noblest of all the men who, by sheer intelligence and force of character, have prized and achieved goodness for its own sake and not for any reward".[8]
Gregory Hays' translation of Meditations for The Modern Library made the bestseller list for two weeks in 2002.[9]
The book has been described as a prototype of reflective practice by Seamus Mac Suibhne.[10]
Author John Steinbeck makes several direct allusions to Meditations in his magnum opus East of Eden.[11]
United States President Bill Clinton said that Meditations is his favorite book.[12]
The editio princeps of the book (the first ever printed version) was published in 1558 by Wilhelm Xylander at Heidelberg University from a now lost manuscript, from which the Greek title also originates.[13]

Lawn and soil problems
I having problems with my soil under my lawn absorbing water. I do seem to have hard, clay type soil, but i also noticed that the soil seems to repel and not absorb water in some areas of the lawn. I have tall fescue (marathon sod)it usually does well in the cooler seasons of the year, but just a couple of weeks ago as the weather warmed up, the lawn seems to be drying and dying. I'm gettng some patches of daead looking grass and areas where the lawn looks fine. I do see a lot of water run off in some spot when I water.
I have tried aerating and fertilizing regular, but the summer months are a real problem. Then in late summer as the weather starts to cool, the lawn seems to rejuvenate and really thickens and greens up again.
I a bit confused..anyone have any tips or suggestions, i appreciate the help.
Sorry, I'm new here and may be posting what others have in the past. Thanks
I had some issues like you, a few areas near the street, sandy soil, slight slope, and water would just run off, and there was little penetration. It sounds crazy, but the shampoo trick worked for me, and the grass filled in very quickly after a few treatments and some rain. It's so easy and cheap you really have nothing to lose. Baby shampoo is good, but I use cheap VO5, or White Rain. You want a clear shampoo, with no additives, just a basic cheap shampoo. Put it in a hose end sprayer and apply at 3 oz. per gallon. I like to dilute it by 100% and apply at 6 oz. per gallon. Spray the areas liberally. Once you have sprayed all the areas you want (you can do the whole yard even if you want) then irrigate the areas lightly by hand to work the shampoo into the soil a bit and wash it off the grass blades. You might have to repeat it a few times, but it really helped my problem areas. A secondary benefit is your lawn will smell great.
Not exactly. If you use straight shampoo, then the recommended rate is 3 oz. of shampoo for every gallon. If you dilute it 100%, then you are using 6 oz. of shampoo/water solution per gallon of water, which is still 3 oz. of shampoo for every gallon of water that comes out of the hose. I personally think you get better "pull" when you dilute it. It goes pretty fast, so you have to spray relatively light if you are doing large areas, then go back over it with just plain water.
I believe hose end sprayers, like Ortho, have settings for application of material calibrated for coverage of a 1000sq ft. area, so most likely, you select an application rate of 3oz on the sprayer and move the spay just once over an area of grass and keep moving. But it's just a guess, I'm going to buy one tomorrow and I'll find out.
I really don't treat it like I am doing X amount per 1000 square feet. I just spray problem areas till I think they are well covered. Like I said, it goes pretty fast and usually I am applying a lot more than 3 oz. per 1000 for sure. The last time I used shampoo I probably did about a quarter to a third of the yard near the street with one bottle, so that's way more then 3 oz. per 1000, more like 24. It's really more of a feel thing for me, not a critical dosage like herbicides and fertilizers. For me the 3 oz per gallon makes it last longer, and more dilute, so it gets to the soil better. If I set it to the real amount I use it would be gone very quickly.
Ok tiemco, you answered to the point I was trying to make. Everything I have ever seen about the generic shampoo treatment for softening soil (usually from dchall on this forum) indicates a rate of 3 oz./1000 sq.ft. In your initial posted response above in this thread, you were recommending the rate of 3 oz./Gallon of water. Those two rates can be equal if properly calibrated, but usually are not. When it comes to pesticides or fertilizers, the difference between those two rates can be very significant. However, when it comes to baby shampoo, as you previously stated, it is not as critical of a dosage. Thank you for the complete clarification in your most recent post. I knew you would eventually get there.
And again, 3 oz./1000 is not the same as 3 oz./Gallon unless a sprayer or applicator is properly calibrated!
I thought that was the direction you were going Nearandwest, 3 oz. per gallon per 1000 would have a very small effect, so for all you people that want to try this the amount you put down isn't very critical, just until the soil is wet, then go over it again with plain water.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I was thinking about just digging up the bad part of the lawn and re-sodding after adding lots of compost. I think I will try the shampoo idea over a section of the lawn.
How long it would take before I see some results?
thanks again all!
You should see better water penetration/retention after the first treatment. My worst area had a lot of bare patches. Since using the shampoo it has filled in within a month, and this is tall fescue, which is not known for spreading, although the cultivars I used are some of the newest ones that have higher rhizome activity.

To many people's surprise, including mine, there were plenty of great things to come out of Tiger's Monday morning press conference.
Did he say what type of treatment he was in? No, but he said he's never received treatment for Ambien/Vicodin, which essentially answers that lingering question. Did he give any more details of the late-night crash? No.
BUT there were so many other things that seemed honest and genuine about Tiger Woods this morning, that he's either been taking acting classes in between rehab, or we are indeed seeing a different and better person.
**He said that it was "wrong of him" to ignore fans. That he "under appreciated" them. And that he will be making a conscious effort to behave differently (at least during practice rounds) to give them a little more love.
**He also admitted he'd been getting too "hot" on the course, and that he won't be as emotional. But that also goes for his exuberance when he wins. That's what golf fans call a win-lose.
**He said he started taking Ambien when his dad was sick and Vicodin on and off because of knee problems but has never needed treatment for either.
**He tore his Achilles in December 2008 while training for his return to golf in February. His ankle was wrapped for most of 2009 and affected how far he could hit it. And yet the guy still won 6 times in 2009?! Amazing.
**He missed his son's first birthday in February because he was in treatment and said it's a regret of his he will never forget. When you think of how devoted Earl was to Tiger, you understand how true this must be.
But to me the biggest wow moments were the following:
**Regarding his on course accomplishments over the last few years:
"The fact I won golf tournaments is irrelevant."
**Regarding playing golf again:
"It feels fun again. That's something I've been missing." And why hasn't it been fun? "Why? Look at what I've been engaged in."
**And regarding his pursuit of Jack Nicklaus's 18 majors, the thing that has been Tiger's motivation and the sole focus of Team IMG for years...
"It's not about championships. It's about how you live your life.... I need to be a better man than I was before... If I win championships along the way, so be it."
WHOA. Who is this guy?
What made me respect and appreciate Tiger Woods over the course of 2008 was his focus, his commitment to improvement, his pursuit of excellence and showing that wanting to win is not a bad thing.
He still wants to win, that's the goal when he tees it up Thursday. But it's not as important as other things. Tiger has said just that for years, "family first..." but obviously that was a hollow sentiment. Now I think he believes it. And to that he must be given some credit. It's what I'd hoped he would do back in December but had no idea if he would or could.
Only time will tell if the reorganization of Tiger's priorities will have an adverse affect on the number of Green Jackets, Claret Jugs, U.S. Open and Wanamaker trophies he has in his house. For now at least, Tiger Woods seems more concerned with who's in his family room, than what's on the wall.

How to pass config from qfile to Hive Metastore
Hi Dear all,
I want to set a configuration in file and pass it to Hive Metastore for example logic in HiveAlterHandler.java. In order to do that, this configuration should be in HiveConf.metaVars. But, a simple test got NPE. Anyone has experience to pass config from qfile to Hive metastore? Attached has status.q. It has set hive.metastore.ds.retry.interval=2000 which is part of HiveConf.metaVars. Attached has error.txt. If we remove the config line from status.q, it works. Thanks Tim |

Some stranded hikers rescued by NH Fish & Game not so thankful after the bill
Sunburned and tired, Scott Mason hugged his father, Michael, moments after he was brought off Mount Washington following a rescue effort that spanned several days. (Lorna Colquhoun File) |

Safe hike tips
1: The days are shorter this time of year. Plan ahead and bring a flashlight just in case you are caught out after dark.2: Look at the weather forecast. If impending bad weather is predicted, dress accordingly — or reconsider your plans.
3: Stay together. Many of our searches are a result of hikers not staying with the group or adults not watching the children. This is also true for caregivers of the elderly or a person with special needs.
4: Review the hiker responsibility code — and the 10 essentials to have in your pack — at hikesafe.com.

About half of the $100,725 billed in fiscal years 2007 to 2011 has been collected, said state Fish and Game Col. Martin Garabedian.
"It's a huge administrative nightmare. We spend lot of time trying to find these people and collect," Garabedian said.
The hiker can challenge the finding, and the process can lead to court, he said.
The department conducted 957 search-and-rescue missions, costing about $1.8 million, from fiscal years 2006 to 2011, according to its website.

I've been trying to improve on as many champs as I can in TT, so I can be sorta ready for draft mode finally making it live. However, I'm not really sure how to build Janna. I would pick her/build her purely for support. Lately I've been going boots -> soul shroud -> aegis -> AP item (depends on the situation). I'm not very confident in that build though so I'd like some opinions please. Thanks
Senior Member
What I've been doing recently is getting Nashor's Tooth and Soul Shroud for CDR, easier farming and a nice health bonus. Then buy a whole bunch of wards and keep track of the whole map for the rest of the game. With clairvoyance your team is omniscient. The items after Soul Shroud really depend on the role you need to fill; you could get some more AP but I find that getting tanky items or aura items really benefits your team while making you more annoying to the other team.
Doran's Ring to start with, might as well get a bit of bulk, since Janna is so frail, and I've seen her get targeted many times. Hell, the following build will take up much of your game. Doran's Ring Boots of Choice Soul Shroud / Aegis of the Legion Abyssal Scepter / Nashor's Tooth / Frozen Heart Build the former two items if you're on a team with mages. Build the latter two on a team with DPS guys. Really, though, you can't mess up too bad with Janna, since her role on a team isn't very item-dependent.
Oh and another question, start of the game do you go with EotS or howling gale? And have you ever considered buying fortitude + ward instead of doran's?
I have played janna alot and as support i buy mana crystal first into rod of ages makes u take a hit plus up gale dmg. I take howling gale first the harrasment is better. and since u always fall behind in kills as a support class i often skip boots with all of ur abilities helping u survive i dont see any needs for boots at all. my build order is rod of ages, archangel staff, (getting tear first), zhyona's ring, then i very based off my oponets i go for ap/team auras what ever helps most.
Personally i think that support items like soul shroud on jana are kind of dumb. Her role as a support character comes from her shield and her stun/slow/push abilities. When i play her i go full AP with mana regen from arch angel because her shield benefits from it as well as spell dmg. If your team gets in trouble during the fight you have a stun, slow and push/heal to ensure their survival and the extra damage from getting only AP items will definately turn the tides since all her dmg spells scale at very well (.75-.8). Id put my gold into archangel/zhonyas instead of soul shroud and ageis.
You can play Janna in different ways. I've tried a lot of builds with Janna. In these styles, the items listed under each category is what you could go for the main items. You can drop or add items depending on your playstyle. Support Tanky Janna: Soul Shroud | Banshee's Veil | Aegis of the Legion | Archangel's Staff | Rod of Ages | Randuin's Omen | Nashor's Tooth | Frozen Heart AP Support Janna: Archangel's Staff | Rod of Ages | Mejai's Soulstealer | Rylai's Scepter | Will of the Ancient | Soul Shroud | Void Staff | Zhonya's Ring | Deathfire's Grasp | Nashor's Tooth | Frozen Heart DPS Janna: (Not very popular anymore) Last Whisper | Stark's Fervor | Sword of the Divine | Guinsoo's Rageblade | Infinity Edge | Malady | Zeal | Phantom Dancer These are roughly items you could go for. Your playstyle will decide what you should pick up.

Yesterday (June 28th) the full House Committee for Small Business heard from a panel of witnesses on �Assessing the Impact of the Copyright Royalty Board Decision to Increase Royalty Rates on Recording Artists and Webcasters.�
Among 7 witnesses representing various interests, the two musicians on the panel included classic county artist, Joey Allcorn, and Cathy Fink - whose music is often heard on Folk Alley. They present both sides of the issue coming from a musician�s point of view.
Cathy Fink's testimony was a thorough enumeration of the expenses attached to being a full-time professional musician. It would be more enlightening to know what the Internet royalty payments amount to for an artist working at her level, what they'll grow to once the small-channel discount goes away, and what they'll shrink to as a number of the small Internet stations playing her music have to close down.
I've always assumed that for any independent professional artist, what's lost in royalties from non-commercial airplay would be more than made up for in album sales from the increased exposure. If she's run the math both ways, that might not be true for her specific operation. I guess the only way to find out for sure is to let the events play out the way it looks like they're going to.

Sierra and Bianca Casady are hard to pin down. The sisters' output as CocoRosie — the increasingly electro-styled folk project with nods to European television, Native American chants, Victorian operettas, and Hipstamatic photographs — still gets tagged as freak-folk, and it's all over the map.
Unsurprising, then, that New Mexico, Hawaii, Arizona, and Brooklyn are all past homes for the Casady sisters. Before forming CocoRosie in 2003, Bianca studied linguistics and sociology in college, then pursued visual arts and writing in New York. All the while, Sierra was embarking upon an opera-singing career in Paris.
"We were on our own paths," Bianca confirms. "A few times, we gave each other fucked-up haircuts in the closet [as children]. I want to get back into that stuff." For the past seven years, they've rarely been apart, but proximity's one of their few shared qualities.
100 SW 3rd Ave.
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312
Category: Music Venues
Region: Fort Lauderdale
Interacting with these two quiet yet strong women, self-identified as "dual opposites," reveals both of them as thoughtful and far from pretension and is an experience bordering on spiritual. New Times caught up with Bianca via email during her stint in China, whereas Sierra was reached by phone while at their other residence in Paris two and a half weeks later.
In our conversations, elder sibling Sierra's replies are drawn out, with so much weight on the words that she often stops midsentence to process. Eventually, she chimes in minutes later with the rest of her sentence, like hitting the play button on her favorite cassette tape, with no knowledge of mental interruption.
"We're almost opposites in almost every way, which brings a pretty crazy chemistry," Sierra says, laughing. "Even with the lyrics-writing of this record, we worked through stream-of-consciousness-style writing and sometimes just pure improvisation on the mic."
She is referring to Grey Oceans, the duo's first release via Sub Pop and fourth overall. For this recording, Bianca and Sierra built a drum set out of found objects/trash-like pots, pans, bottles, weird wires, and chains for one-of-a-kind percussion accompaniment. Add smooth strokes of the ivories, sharp acoustic instruments, and the sisters' mix of raspy and angelic harmonies, and while hearing the title track, one can easily get lost in the imagery of lyrics like "I'm watching myself like an old movie on color TV/When people whisper in Portuguese/It's just as mysterious." Is this an old woman singing to us from her grave?
Sierra still hasn't finished her remarks regarding CocoRosie's current aesthetic, though.
"Playing with duality and contradiction has been a thing that, yeah, we always really came together on. For this last record, there was a lot of this hyperdichotomy of nature versus technology, experimenting with the degradation of electronic rhythms and sounds and experimenting with trying to assimilate how nature kind of has taken over the Earth. Maybe in a futuristic sense, working on decomposing all of the plastic and all of the pollution and all of the kind of hardware of these times. So we really thought about that — I guess in a fantastical sense — and worked on that as a style." Whew.
In contrast to her sister, Bianca's answers are direct and concise. When asked about her influences, she gives a gypsy's laundry list: "gardens, graveyards, the end of the world, fairy raves, smoke, and magic."
When pressed, Bianca is more forthcoming regarding another key difference between them: her drag persona, dubbed Rupert and classified as a femme goth guy who reads tarot cards. "I'm just a sucker for [mustaches]," she says. "It's a way of playing my own muse. I got strung out on Genet and got into sailors and spice merchants and stuff. I bought a striped robe from the Dead Sea or the Red Sea — a really old one — and it started a whole Arabic Prince thing, which I haven't been able to shake since."
Even if Sierra doesn't fully relate to her sister's androgynous mustache, she can understand its allure. "I know that lately I've explored facial hair, but not so much to pose like a masculine image but just exploring the image of hairy people — hairy women, I guess," she says. "Kind of like [the bearded lady at the circus] but going way, way further. Either further back, like before the race of humans, or shooting back into my fantasy of what the future could be like where the Earth is totally different, creatures like human beings are totally different, and they have a lot of hair because the weather is really tough or stuff like that."
Sierra attaches a somber feeling to Rupert, but that doesn't mean Grey Oceans is a gloomy affair. "There's a lot of joyful moments in our music right now and a lot of fashion inspirations to really be lighthearted and beautiful," Sierra continues. "We're focused on happiness. A lot of our songs have a kind of sadder, dark quality — quite a few of them. So to contrast that with a really light atmosphere is a goal."
With Grey Oceans, CocoRosie is reaching back to its roots and a homemade kind of atmosphere achieved on its debut, La Maison de Mon Rêve ("The love letter we wrote to one another," Bianca says). There's an organic feeling but with new touches. The twosome has expanded to include a pianist from France's Reunion Island, Gael Rakotondrabe. His musical influences are just as vast as the Casadys', having grown up playing Creole music, then moving to Paris to start a career in jazz. A beatboxer and a percussionist are also part of the band's current incarnation — mood-swaying vocals intact but with an added punch.

Current Time
Istanbul restaurants
Istanbul's standard of cuisine might not live up to the highest international mark, despite a recent influx of chefs from abroad; even promising exports seem to wither drastically on the journey here. However, menus at most Istanbul restaurants are ambitious and worldly, and atmosphere helps fill the gap: Visitors are often taken aback by the profusion of stylish restaurants with stunning views, such as Ulus 29, Leb-i derya, and 360 Istanbul. But it's not all milk and honey: Traditional meyhanes (taverns) like those located along Nevizade Sokak in Beyoğlu offer a chance to enjoy a variety of Turkish meze, fish, and raki (the local anise-flavored firewater), often to the accompaniment of live music. The historic quarter of Sultanahmet has less to offer in terms of quality dining, though we've listed a few spots worth checking out. And for scenic views and more peaceful surroundings farther up the Bosphorus, head to Ortaköy's Banyan. In Istanbul, the price of the food does not always reflect the quality: look for cheap eats at spots like Çiya, Kurkan Balık Evi, and Zubeyir Ocabaşı.
Tucked away behind the fish market just off İstiklal Caddesi, Nevizade Sokak is possibly Istanbul's liveliest street. On weekend nights you'll literally...more

Please note the limits for entering Elite Open Men and the rules that apply to lifting in the Open Men Division! NEW WABDL PUSH-PULL COMPETITION! FROM GUS - PLEASE PASS THE WORD!! CLICK HERE TO REVIEW PUSH-PULL RULES
You are reminded that you must have a current card by weigh-ins in order to compete in a contest. If in doubt, purchase a new card and if it turns out you don't need it, you will receive a refund. If you don't have a current card, you will not be in the meet results, and you will forfeit any records you set. YOU ARE ALSO REMINDED THAT YOU MAY NOT CHANGE DIVISION, PLY, OR WEIGHT CLASS AFTER THE FINAL DATE FOR CHANGES LISTED ON THE ENTRY. Unless you make changes by the due date, what is on the entry is what you must lift at or you will not appear in the results. In the case of world competition, it would be best if you notified the secretary at (503) 822-5242 (phone) or (503) 822-5163 (fax) or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com of changes. You may also notify Gus, but he is busy and may forget to let the secretary know. THESE RULES APPLY TO ALL SANCTIONED MEETS AND WILL BE ENFORCED AT WORLDS. WABDL does not have nor does it have plans in the future to have a "raw" lifting division. Some lifters choose to lift raw and that is okay. Gus Rethwisch and some meet directors (it is at the discretion of the meet directors) sometimes give separate trophies for those lifting raw. Any records set lifting raw will be single-ply records.
Because we have no "raw" division, the meet results will no longer reflect "raw" in the ply column. Some lifters have been confused and think there actually is a "raw" division which, of course, there is not. In summary, you are welcome to lift raw and you may set single-ply records while doing so; however, there will no longer be "raw" listed for any meet results and those that occurred in the past will be changed to reflect our legal divisions of single-ply or double-ply.
Drug Testing
This is a drug tested federation. Drug testing is to take place at every meet and is the responsibility of every meet director to conduct the testing. The WABDL tests for steroids, clenbuteral, and speed as well as for abnormally high testosterone levels and TE ratios. Contact Information

Race fans can participate in a fundraiser for Victory Junction Gang by visiting over 700 Kangaroo Express in N.C., S.C., or VA by donating a $1! In return, you will receive a $0.50 discount coupon on any on 20- or 24-ounce Coca-Cola product. The entirety of the $1 donation goes directly to Victory Junction Gang.
This is the third consecutive year that Kangaroo Express and Coca-Cola have partnered to send kids to Victory Junction. In the first week, the drive flew past the $50,000 mark to sponsor kids for a week at camp…surpassing the amount raised last year.
It currently costs $2500 to send a camper to Victory Junction Gang Camp for a week. All funds raised during this campaign will enable Kangaroo Express and Coca-Cola to sponsor children during two weeks of summer camp.
As many of you know, Victory Junction was the dream of Adam Petty, Richard Petty's grandson and son of Kyle Petty. Adam's promising career was tragically cut short by a crash in 2000. That's when Adam's parents (Kyle and Pattie Petty) devoted themselves to bring his greatest dream to life, a camp for kids with serious medical conditions, Victory Junction. Victory Junction gives kids who have lived their life on the sidelines the chance to revel in 84 acres of NASCAR-themed kid heaven – complete with indoor baseball, a zip line, bowling and a climate-controlled water park. Victory Junction relies solely on contributions and donations from individuals and corporations so that campers do not have to pay ANYTHING to attend camp.
On May 29, Kangaroo Express will present a check to Victory Junction at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
You can make your donation by visiting Kangaroo Express in one of the tree participating states, through May 6.

BMW 135i, youngest Bavarian sports model, got, like his bigger brother 335i, some news for 2010. There is no more a novelty that BMW replaced the N54 engines with the N55 on x35i versions of the full range. But Bavarians make another official presentation, after the 335i version, the 135i version will be introduced.
The changes are not as deep as on the 335i, missing those special LEDs in front of the lamp units, the spoilers not inspired by the latest products and the grid does not received that dose of proeminention. The only elements that seem easy upgraded, are mirrors, with a marginal form changed.
Great novelty for the 1-Series range, in addition to engine, that we talked earlier, may be called the dual-clutch transmission with seven reports, DCT, which provides more dynamic feel. I6 3.0-liter turbo engine capable to develop 306 hp, work more efficiently, the Coupe version reaching 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds, 0.1 seconds faster than the previous version, and the average consumption is below 0,6 liters.
Inside, the only change is the new DCT transmission, with the new selector for the automatic versions. Bavarians haven't insisted too much on this model, as can be seen, with larger plans for this range, in the near future will occur the BMW M1.

Love it, and you chose such a lovely selection of fabrics to make it. I am still waiting for the tutorial on the Union Jack totes as well. I am sure a lot of us are.
