This is the journal I really intended to post.
I was talking to Gwen on the phone last night. She accidentally sent me a text that wasn't meant for me: "Lets wait a while to tell Arty that we're back together."
Ooookay. It's none of my business. But she yelled when she heard I'd read it. "Why couldn't you have been a good friend and lied to me?!?!" (Am I missing something here? Friends don't lie...) I didn't ask her anything about it, I started talking about my day and all sorts of random things, but she kept saying that she was angry at me. "I can't believe you.", and so on. I ignored it. I kept a happy face. Until I got off the phone. Then I realized that I did in fact feel like I really did something wrong. WHAT???!!!!!
This goes to what I want to say to her now. "Look. You are so full of ****. You sat there this weekend and SPOONFED me that bull**** about how I'm your /best friend/ and I just ate that up. Your friendship, as it were, is bull****. Why are you hiding from me, Gwen. Why?"
I'm really hating this feeling of combined anger and sadness.
It sucks.

People Who Get Overly Angry At People Saying 'Happy Holidays' Instead Of 'Merry Christmas' Can Go Straight To Hell
There are a lot of people out there, including members of my family, who get outrageously mad at people who say 'Happy Holidays' instead of 'Merry Christmas.' It's like they're as disgusted as if they just walked in on a nativity scene where baby Jesus is being teabagged by all three of the wise men. The fact of the matter is we live in a PC pussified world where no one wants to offend anyone else even though I'm 99% sure the Jews have had to worry about more difficulties during their existence than get all bent out of shape after being told 'Merry Christmas.' Also pretty sure atheists still celebrate Christmas in one form or another, too. But the fact remains, does it really matter that much? Like if people saying 'Happy Holidays' really pisses you off that much and ruins your Christmas experience with your family you've got bigger issues on your plate to worry about.
People that get mad at that are the same people that get pissed at gay marriage. It's not like if gay marriage gets passed that all of a sudden dudes are going to be jerking off in your Cinnamon Toast Crunch every morning and turning your children gay. Same thing here. People saying 'Happy Holidays' aren't going to turn your family into Barbaian heathens hellbent on raping and pillaging society while making Jesus blow up dolls to get from behind. Not like Christmas is going anywhere; anybody who says there's a "War on Christmas" is a certified asshole. Last time I checked I was hearing Christmas songs at Halloween and by December my balls are already decorated with tinsel, pretty sure that if there is a war Santa and Jesus are kicking everyone's dicks in.
You know what you do if it chaps your ass that much? Say 'Merry Christmas' to everyone and mind your own business and let everyone else mind theirs. Maybe people who care should be worried about the fact the celebration of the birth of Christ is now being represented mostly by a fat fuck in a red suit who breaks into peoples houses and leaves presents for only the rich kids.
Happy Festivus.

The geography of Fiji is divided into four parts: Viti Levu (the largest island in the group, and the most populated), Vanua Levu (the second-largest island), the Yasawa Group (located a short distance northwest of Viti Levu), and the Lau Group (a large group of small, disperse islands to the east of the big islands). In all, there are over 800 islands in Fiji, although only about 110 are inhabited. Viti Levu has the largest population of any of the islands, and is where is the capital of Suva (the seat of power for the government) is located. Here are some interesting facts and figures about Fiji from Microsoft's Virtual Globe 1998 Edition. I couldn't have written better background material myself.
Fiji has gone through two coup d'etats, with the latest one occurring May 19, 2000. Both coups were caused by racial tension between the native Fijians and the East Indians. Both racial groups each represent about half the population, but the Fijians have title to about 80% of the land. Since the latest coup, they also have absolute political right to a majority in the government. There continues to be significant friction between these two racial groups, and tourists may not be immune to the problems this causes in Fiji. If you are planning a trip to Fiji, it would be prudent to check with your foreign affairs department beforehand. The Commonwealth countries expelled Fiji from the Commonwealth, due to the first coup in 1987. Military coup leader Major General Sitiveni Rabuka formally declared Fiji a republic on October 6, 1987. |

Oh no! The momager really let it all hang out when she exited her car in a very unflattering way.
Kris Jenner was getting out of her truck on June 26 in LA when she narrowly avoided a wardrobe malfunction by the skin of her teeth! The 57-year-old super mom hopped out of her car and while she might have been in a rush her exit was very clumsy. With her legs spread open Kris definitely showed off way more than she planned on sharing in her form-fitting white frock.
Kris Jenner's Wardrobe Malfunction:
The momager never leaves the house without making sure she's perfectly put together, just like her daughters! Obviously Kris knows to always be camera ready, but unfortunately that wasn't the case when she exited her car outside of a studio in LA! She must have been in a rush, because she just jumped out of the car with her legs spread and her dress hiked up — had it been any higher she might have flashed her privates! Oh no!
Kris Jenner Flashes In Upskirt Shot:
Aside from Kris' unflattering maneuver, her outfit was right on point. The mom flaunted her figure in a monochromatic look, playing with black and white hues from head-to-toe. The new grandmother looked as happy as can be — she probably didn't realize that her privates were about to be shown to the world!
Luckily this wardrobe malfunction wasn't so bad, and Kris seems to have recovered quickly, swapping her flip flops for sandals with a chic buckle. Anyone in the spotlight knows that occasionally the cameras may catch an unflattering move — but Kris still looked great! From her fuschia dress that she wore on the Today show to this monochrome outfit, she's dressing fabulous!

She's too old to wear such short tight clothing and this would not happen. She's always trying to be "one of the girls" rather than a mature mother. She's already shown her private parts to the t.v. camera many times and I guess she doesn't care who's on hand for the unveiling. Anything to get attention.

Mothercare is moaning about its drop in sale. Is it any wonder?
Savvy mums are not stupid enough to pay £10.00 for a child's top when they can get the same from a car boot sale for 50p!
Life as we know it, but much, much better!
Mothercare is moaning about its drop in sale. Is it any wonder?
Savvy mums are not stupid enough to pay £10.00 for a child's top when they can get the same from a car boot sale for 50p!
Just had a present from Mr. Tesco, five 600ml packs of double cream for 26p per pack.
After giving it a wiz in the food processor we have turned it into six 8oz packs of extremely good quality butter, which is now in the freezer, 600 ml of thin cream for our coffee, and all for just £1.30.
If you cost this out at retail prices it will be:
6 X £1.45 for the butter = £8.70
1 X £1.20 for the single cream = £1.20
Total £9.90
Cost £1.30
Saving £8.60
Thanks Mr. Tesco!
WARNING – This recipe could change your life!
Here you are, the holidays are upon us and friends are due round for drinks. Hopefully you already have 25 litres of both Turbo Cider and home brewed Bitter in stock, but nothing palatable in the spirit line, so what do you do?
Make your own gin, of course!
Firstly forget the thoughts of illicit copper stills hidden well away from the prying eyes of the local Customs Inspector, as your making your own gin at home is perfectly legal, risk free and simple.
For the serious gin drinker the plethora of supermarket own brand gins are none starters as none can hold a candle to a well-crafted artisan gin, and the thought of finding something remotely like Hendricks at less than £27.00 per bottle, is just a dream.
Consequently, the only alternative for the more discerning budget conscious gin lover is to make your own
Gin is nothing more than spirit that has been infused with herbs and spices, which in the trade are called botanicals, and the process of infusion is itself extremely simple. Anyone with even an iota of culinary ability can produce a fairly high quality artisan gin for slightly more than that the drain cleaner like supermarket own brand gins.
With very little effort you can make a highly acceptable gin in a similar way to that used to make Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Bathtub Gin costing an eye watering £34.95 a bottle!
Here's the Shoestringer's way to make 750ml of artisan gin.
1 750ml bottle of inexpensive supermarket own brand vodka
4 tbsp. juniper berries
3/4 tsp. coriander seed
1/4 tsp. allspice
1/4 tsp. fennel seed
3 green cardamom pods
2 black peppercorns
1 bay leaf, torn into pieces
1 tsp. dried rosemary
1 5 cm strip of fresh lemon or lime peel
1 3 cm sprig fresh lavender
Please note that infused gin isn't crystal clear as it takes a slight colour from the botanicals.
Presentation is everything, so to add to the effect on your guests try to find a flip top bottle reflecting gin's Victorian heyday, labeled as quirkily as you like.
Don't forget to tell your guests that it is an old family recipe.
A little something from Professor
If there is one homemade drink you should make, this is it.
It is simple farmhouse cider, Shoestringer style. It is simplicity itself to make, and even more fun to drink. It is perfect for those with little or no brewing experience, and does not need a cider press.
The whole process takes about three weeks to being drinkable, and comes out just like West Country farmhouse cider at between 7º and 8º alcohol, for around 9p per pint!.
Go on – bring out your inner Wurzel!!!!!!!!!
Continue reading "Farmhouse Cider, Shoestringer Style!" »
In the "Good old days", as those blinkered by nostalgia call them, most men worked while their wives stayed at home and looked after the children, cooked the meals and looked after the home.
This would be OK if the family had enough money coming in every week to live on, but in most working class families in the North of England, this was rarely the case.
Make no mistake here; we are talking about the levels of poverty portrayed on such TV dramas as "Ripper Street". It was pure, raw, grinding poverty.

Uncorking a Wine-related Cancer Treatment
Our Services
Resveratrol - that intriguing substance that seems to make red wine heart-healthy - is being proposed for clinical trials later this year against neuroblastoma, a type of cancer that affects infants and young children, says Dr. Arthur Polans, professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.
Polans' laboratory, part of the UW Carbone Cancer Center, has been studying the substance for about five years, and has been using it successfully to treat several types of cancer in mice. His research group has applied for permission to use it to treat neuroblastoma, a nervous-system cancer that mostly affects babies and children.
"Resveratrol is a promising treatment for young children because it's not toxic to healthy cells, only to cancer cells," Polans said. "How do you treat infants without causing other problems in the years to come? That is the kind of question that intrigues us."
Because it seems to kill cancer cells while leaving healthy tissue alone, resveratrol is also being looked at to treat ocular or uveal melanoma, a cancer of the eye that can lie dormant for many years before metastasizing and becoming fatal. So far, there are no good treatments for melanoma that begins in the colored tissues of the eye; it doesn't respond the same way as melanoma that begins in the skin.
"It's one of those rotten cancers," Polans said. "We don't know what causes it and we don't know how to treat it effectively."
While the cancers are very different, adults who develop melanoma of the eye have something in common with babies who develop neuroblastoma - they may live for a long time after their diagnosis, so potential treatments shouldn't cause other health problems.
"What neuroblastoma and uveal melanoma have in common is the factor of time," said Polans. "Ideally, you'd like to be able to treat them aggressively at first, and then treat them with lower doses of a non-toxic compound over time. Otherwise, you run the risk of damage to vital organs or an increase in secondary tumors."
So far, Polans' lab has shown that resveratrol shrinks tumors and kills malignant cells in five types of cancer: skin melanoma, breast cancer, neuroblastoma, ocular melanoma and retinoblastoma. A poster outside Polans' office shows a mouse with a large neuroblastoma tumor that is then shrunken to nothing by resveratrol.
"Mice that were treated with resveratrol are healthy, gain weight and don't seem to have side effects," he said, "but when you look at the cancer cells, they're dying."
Polans' lab has also done a lot of basic research on resveratrol, developing new forms of the compound that are more potent, and active in the body for longer than the common forms of the substance.
If it proves its worth, resveratrol will join a large class of cancer-fighting compounds derived from plants, including taxol, which comes from yew trees, and etopside, derived from the mayapple. Resveratrol, which can be derived from grape skins, is also seen as the substance at work in the so-called "French Paradox," in which French hearts stay healthy (thanks to drinking red wine) despite all that brie cheese and liver paté.
"About 70 percent of new chemotherapeutics are derived from natural products or based on their structures," says Polans. "There's a lot of interest worldwide in finding new substances from plants and other natural sources, including microbes from the soil and a variety of species from the ocean."

Olympic Games and weather forecasting—what's next? Nowcasting at the Olympic Games The Beijing 2008 project was part of a series of efforts focused on weather prediction during the Olympics. The first international Forecast Demonstration Project (FDP) for the Olympics was held in Sydney, Australia, in 2000 under the WMO's World Weather Research Programme (WWRP). The goals of the Sydney Forecast Demonstration Project were to showcase and improve techniques for the nowcasts (0- 3 h) of weather with a focus on rainfall and winds associated with summertime thunderstorms. Forecasts on this time-scale are particularly challenging since thunderstorms evolve rapidly and the numerical models that are typically used for weather prediction are often less reliable in the first few hours of a forecast (often called the spin-up period by meteorologists). Due to this spin-up problem, forecasts are instead a mix of numerical techniques and products derived from Doppler radar and other measurementfacilities. Sharing the expertise and data is cost-effective The WWRP Forecast Demonstration Projects at the Olympic Games gather leading international scientists to demonstrate and compare their latest forecasting techniques to create an international surge of meteorological creativity and imagination. A strong synergism exists between national efforts to improve prediction on these time-scales and the series of WWRP efforts during the Olympic Games. For example, radar analysis software utilized by specific hydrometeorological centres and research institutes for their nowcasting programmes were improved to be ready for the Sydney Games in 2000 with the lessons learned from the intercomparisons at these Games brought back to improve the national efforts. The cycle was repeated this year for Beijing, where thunderstorms and summertime rainfall were among the challenges faced by forecasters with the China Meteorological Administration The outcomes of such Forecast Demonstration Projects are improved weather predictions in the future and better delivery of specific weather information for WMO Members. For example, people need to know exactly when a severe rainstorm will hit and the best estimate of its specific location, duration and intensity. The advantage of collaboration among National Meteorological Services in such forecast projects results in sharing and stringent testing of new ideas and techniques in a manner that saves valuable research time and money. The challenge of Vancouver 2010 Scientists are now moving from summertime thunderstorms to winter snow with a project designed to fine-tune short-term winter weather forecasting tools. The project, the first of its kind, is being developed for the Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2010. Vancouver's 2010 Winter Olympics present a unique set of challenges. Vancouver and the mountain venues at Whistler receive rain, freezing rain and snow. In Whistler, the highest peaks experience high winds, low fog levels, snow at the top and rain at the base—all at the same time. Managing transportation between the urban locations and the mountain venues will be a challenge. While transportation improvements will be made for Vancouver 2010, winter weather still brings unique challenges. Fortunately, Olympic athletes and meteorologists are both driven by a desire for excellence and see the Olympics as tremendous opportunities. Nowcasting and nations of the developing world As mentioned earlier, nowcasting techniques often rely on Doppler radar techniques, which are often not available uniformly across the world due to costs and difficulties in maintainence. Future WWRP efforts in nowcasting research will also include greater efforts to utilize remote-sensing from space.

DIY: Make A Jean Camera Strap
Learn how to make your own jean camera strap with this cool tutorial.
My Agfa Flexilette has a beautiful leather case, but unfortunately someone somewhere thought it was a great idea to add the flash to the case's strap and NOT make it removable.
This is super-inconvenient if you want to take out your camera and snap a few quick photos.
After yet another camera session of almost entwining myself in the strap a few times I knew I had to get a strap for the camera only.
I had a few ideas on what kind of strap I wanted. I did not want it to have any metal near the camera, yet I wanted to be able to switch between the strap and the case quickly. Having small hooks at the ends of the strap and attach to the camera was not a possibility, even though that would have been the easiest solution, because of the previously mentioned metal+camera problem.
After a few hours of intense brain storming this is what I came up with.
I decided to sacrifice my old jean jacket and use a leather cord necklace and two key chain rings for the project. The snap hook is optional and I will get back to that later in the post. You also need a sewing machine for this project - you want the stitches to be able to support the weight of the camera!
- Leather cord
- Two keyrings
- A pair of old jeans or a denim jacket you are prepared to cut up into strips.
- Sewing Machine and needle and thread
- Scissors
The measurements of the straps are for me, so you will have to make a few adjustments here depending on how long you want the strap to be.
The long strap is 62 cm long and the short one is 15 cm long. They are 4 cm wide; I will fold them double so the finished strap will be 2 cm across. I cut the leather cord into two 15 cm long strands.
I decided to have the closure on the side to make it more comfortable to have around the neck.
- I zigzagged the edges of the jean straps.
- I then folded and ran the zigzag stitch across them again, this time in the middle of the strap.
- I left one end of each strap open because that is where I added the leather cords.
- Make sure you can get the key rings though the loop you are making before sewing.
- I added the key rings to the other ends of the straps.
- Then I ran the machine over the ends until they were strong enough to hold.
- And the camera strap is finished!
- The snap hook is not really needed as you can just close the strap with the two key rings (It will be easier to close if you have some type of snap hook though).

The Burden of Knowing
For the right fee, a Cambridge firm called Knome will unravel all the secrets hiding in your genes. But what happens when those secrets include a higher risk of getting cancer? Or of contracting a crippling disease like Alzheimer's? Would you be able to handle that information and the terrible choices it forces?
I wasn't.
The flash drive comes in a silver box, sunken into a bed of black velvet, shining out, fittingly, like a rare gem. Fail 10 times to provide the correct password and the drive will self-destruct. The entire sequence of its new owner's genome is inside this piece of brushed steel, all of his or her DNA. The Cambridge-based company selling the drive, Knome, is the only company in the world to offer anything like it. Only a handful of people in the world have one. For now.
The man responsible for Knome and the services it offers—services that will fundamentally alter the way we think about healthcare—is George Church, a 6-foot-5, bushy-bearded Harvard Medical School professor and the patriarch of personal genomics. His coming movement will wrest the genome from research labs and place it in the hands of the people, much as computers went from government and academia to being an inextricable part of daily life. The newer and faster technologies Church and his ilk are developing have already dropped what Knome charges for sequencing from $350,000 to $100,000. Church's ultimate goal is to get the price down to $1,000, a price accessible for nearly everyone. When it reaches that point, he predicts, the genomic revolution will usher in an age of personalized medicine, in which doctors tailor treatments to a patient's genetic makeup, to the individual strips of code that can serve as a marker for future diseases. It will allow patients an opportunity to truly—as the Knome motto goes—"Know thyself."
Not everyone is greeting the revolution with outstretched arms. A chorus of doctors, ethicists, and even some of Church's fellow geneticists say that personal genomics is a wildly unregulated and woefully immature field, one in which science's ability to read genes, and Madison Avenue's ability to hawk its tests, is eons ahead of medicine's understanding of the results. When doctors do understand them, there is often no preventive measure consumers can take to head off their fate, if that fate is a disease like Alzheimer's or Huntington's. There's also the fear that personal genomics may not only one day customize medicine to our genes, but also custom-design our children. The question for people who oppose Church is whether this world of his is any place for the rest of us.
George Church found his calling as a 19-year-old college student at Duke University. He was working in a lab, playing around with a program used to make three-dimensional models of RNA molecules. This was in 1974, when computers could do little more than show a 3-D image. He decided to type in thousands of RNA bases, which direct the function of the RNA molecule. These bases are encoded by the A, C, T, or G proteins that make up the rungs of one's DNA. It took hours for him to type in the sequences before the machine spit back an image, which looked like strings of beads that folded back on themselves and then up until they resembled "little statuettes," Church says. The connection between the linear sequence of DNA and the encoded shape and form it took on the screen was an epiphany for him. He pictured an age in which computers could map the whole of each person's genomic sequence and translate it into his or her physical traits. Church vowed that day to spend his life bending the revelatory power of microprocessors to his will.
The moment set him on a career track that combined two of his childhood passions: biology and technology. As a boy Church had passed a lot of time alone, trapping and studying bugs from the ponds of his Florida island home and building basic computers from kits and spare parts. Something far less idyllic, seldom discussed but originating, too, in his boyhood, steered his early work as well. Church's father walked out on him and his mother when Church was a few months old, taking with him Church's sense of identity. "Because my first father left me when I was so young, I was never really quite sure who I was," he says. "And I had this feeling that people in general didn't know who they were, even if they lived in a nice nuclear family with all their grandparents nearby." The genome became to Church "this big missing thing," without which no one could truly understand himself. (Today, though the official pronunciation of his company is "nome," Church insists on mispronouncing it as "know-me.")
The quest to find this missing piece explains Church's impatience. He wrapped up his undergraduate degree from Duke in two years. He began his research-heavy graduate work there immediately and soon was spending 100 hours a week in the lab. He skipped classes, missed exams. And flunked courses. In 1976 he was expelled.

@wavy58 – If you have frequent urinary tract infections, there is something you can drink that will promote the health of your ureters, bladder, and kidneys. Cranberry juice is nature's preventive measure and remedy for urinary tract infections.
I used to think that it only worked to prevent infections, but I have had success in treating mine with it. If I believe I have one, then I drink two glasses of cranberry juice a day until it goes away. I also take two cranberry extract pills, and they give my body an extra boost to fight the infection.
The cranberry juice is acidic, and it is able to keep the bacteria from clinging to the ureters or the bladder. The bacteria gets flushed out with your urine.

This dresser was my mothers as a child, it is 51 years old. I have been using this dresser for the past four years in my nyc apartment since my grandmother died, I just moved into a new apartment with a much smaller bedroom and unfortunately it doesn't fit well. This dresser is solid pecan wood in great shape, just a few minor scratches. I would like someone to take it asap so I can start getting my bedroom together which is why im listing it for much less than I believe it is worth. It is a 5th floor walkup with a small elevator that I dont think would fit the dresser in it, so you will need two strong men to carry it down the stairs.
The dimensions are as follows:
74in wide/long
18in deep
31in tall

Michael Begleyby
On July 30, 1795 and in the city of Albany, Michael Bagley became a naturalized American citizen. He swore that he had been a resident of the United States for at least the past two years. We seek defining information on his origins and path to Albany. In October 1796, Michael Begley was elected as one of the first trustees of St. Mary's Catholic church in Albany. In November 1797, he purchased one-third of a lot on the north side of Hudson Street at (east side of) Court Street from Frederic Myndertse and his wife. In 1799, his house, lot, and property were valued modestly on the first ward assessment roll. In 1800, the household of an "Ann Begley" was configured nearby with three chldren but without an adult white male in it. The name of Michael Begley seems to have dropped from the community landscape before 1800. "Bigley" is said to have relocated to Pittstown in Rensselaer County - perhaps around 1820. notes
Sources: The life of Michael Begley has not been assigned a CAP biography number. This sketch is derived chiefly from family and community-based resources.
Ann Begley, spouse of Michael Begley, is said to have died on December 11 1827 and was buried in Rensselaer County. She had lived for 74 years. first posted: 11/10/11

On June 30, 2012, Windham, New York, was the sixth stop in the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup series and the only U.S. world cup event this year.
Windham Mountain is nestled in the Catskill Mountains and was opened as a resort in the 1960s. Last year, Hurricane Irene flooded upstate New York and caused massive damage to the lodge, trails, and much of the area, requiring cleanup and rebuilding. From an outsider's perspective, the surrounding area appears to have rebounded.
The course began in downtown Windham, and riders then ascended the mountain and rode back down through many rocky sections (which caused numerous flats and rider mishaps) for a three-plus mile lap. The women's elite and men's U-23 (Under 23) races totaled five laps (16-plus miles), while the men's elite race was six laps (21-plus miles).

i'm not adam when i'm having sex, i'm somebody else, and i like him, he's cool, he's sexy, irresistably so, he's beautiful and fearless and so strong, you can't penetrate his shell, you can't defeat him, you can't make him fall in love, you can't hurt him or reach him, he doesn't look at you he looks through you and takes you apart, exposes you for what you are, he's high above you, very high; and adam isn't like that, adam is the opposite, he's pathetic, he's a sucker, he falls in love with everyone and everything and will gladly get hurt for it while others take.
caring too much hurts like hell...but it's impossible to NOT care.

What's for lunch
by Food Network Kitchen in View All Posts, September 25th, 2008You may be wondering: just what do a bunch of chefs, culinary producers and recipe developers eat for lunch?
Well, the truth is, we don't know until we get to work and rummage through the walk-in fridge to see what we have to hurry up and eat before it's only good for compost.
Actually, the truth is, we take our staff meal here seriously and everyone pitches in so that our "family meals" are not just delicious, but something to write home about. Thanks to Charlie Granquist, one of our food stylists, today the meal was so special, it was even worthy of a pic.
Now that's some nice looking fish…stay tuned for more family meal pics from the Behind the Scenes Team.

MEDFORD, Ore. — While cars were sliding down East Main Street, Jeremy Withrow and his friend stepped up to lend a push to those who needed it.
About a quarter inch of ice built up and some cars were trying to take a chance and drive down the hill. The slick roads caused cars to get stuck or slide down sideways.
"Crazy, slippery, commotion going on. I mean there's cars sliding all over the place, this right here is just one solid piece of ice and it gets worse as you get up the hill here," said Withrow.
By early Friday evening, East Main Street closed down at Ashland Avenue, but not before Kari Harris tried to get home.
"Just got off work at 5 and came outside and tried to drive home and that's not going to happen," said Harris.
She wasn't the only one and Withrow was able to push her car and get her slowly back on track, just another one of dozens of cars helped by good Samaritans.
"Thankfully there's some guys here to help me pull off to the side of the road," said Harris.
Other drivers weren't going to take a risk and decided chains were the best bet even if they didn't have any on hand. One driver pulled over and walked to a store to buy chains before continuing his drive home.
Withrow said snow is not unusual, but the way East Main froze is something he hasn't seen in a long time.
"I just don't like to see people get hurt, I want to make sure people are safe," said Withrow.

Soil Testing and Analysis
Posted By Ethan On June 15, 2011 @ 7:00 am In Outdoor | 3 Comments
Soil testing measures characteristic and the amount of specific nutrients in your lawn or garden. Common tests identify the levels of phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, sulfur, copper and zinc within a given sample. Knowing these results equips you to change soil acidity with lime and add appropriate levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, thereby encouraging a thriving lawn and plant life. This post will explore soil characteristics, testing and how to interpret those results. Click here [1] to skip down to interpreting soil analysis results.
Soil texture refers to the presence of silt, clay and sand also known as soil separates. Soil separates are distinct because each falls into a certain range of particle sizes. Clay particles have the smallest diameter, followed by silt. Sand particles are the biggest. It makes sense that soil should be classified by the levels of soil separates as each has different chemistry, porosity (water-holding) and permeability (water-providing).
Loam is a term used to describe soil that has relatively equal concentrations of clay, silt and sand (20,40,40 concentration respectively). Loam is ideal for gardening, growing crops and grasses as it has high levels of nutrients, retains waters well and maintains high permeability.
Did you know that every state, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands has a state soil? Much like state flowers and birds, a state soil is a soil with special significance. Here in Maryland, the state soil is called Sassafras. It was established in 1901 making it one of the oldest soil series in the U.S. Click here [2] to find your state soil.
A soil texture triangle is divided into 12 sections, and is used to standardize soil classification. Each side is scaled for the percent of soil separate found. Clay percentages are mapped from left to right (yellow line). Silt percentages are read from the upper right to lower left (green line) and sand is read from the lower right to the upper left (blue line). You only need the intersection of two soil separate levels to determine the correct assignment. For instance, 30% clay and 40% silt result in a clay loam classification and indicate 30% sand.
Soil testing is a means to determine soil fertility. It takes a "snapshot" of the amount of nutrients, composition and level of contaminants present at the time of the sample. It also provides information to optimize your soil in the future.
Field Test Soil Texture
Soil texture can be determined in the field by feeling for sand particles and using plasticity and flexibility to estimate the amount of silt and clay. An experienced hand will be able to provide an instant, accurate soil texture, but most homeowners will require additional help. To try and approximate your soil texture, use this flow chart [3] provided by The National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
Send in a Sample
In some areas, homeowners can actually mail in soil samples to be analyzed by a lab. This is a great option as long as the samples are taken appropriately. Samples should be taken at the right time and depth to obtain the correct mix for an accurate reading. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
Professional Soil Testing
A professional service will analyze your soil and make recommendations about lime application (quantity and frequency), fertilizer and aeration. Incorporating this information will ensure better growing conditions, improved efficiency and minimize runoff.
Professionals specializing in soil analysis will have access to various test kits to determine factors like pH, levels of soluble salts, phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen, iron, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, organic matter, soil texture and temperature. These kits and supplies can easily cost hundreds of dollars.
All of the results describe the amount of a nutrient that is available for plant uptake. Most test results will include fertilizer recommendations (nitrogen – phosphorus – potassium), lime recommendations and additional comments.
pH indicates the soil acidity. A value of 6.6 or lower is considered acidic, and higher than 7.3 is considered basic. Neutral soil falls in between. If your soil is acidic, a buffer index will determine how much lime should be applied to bring the pH up to neutral.
Nitrogen (N)
Nitrogen is a primary nutrient for plant growth and is supplied naturally through precipitation, manure and organic matter. Fertilizer can be applied to increase the amount of N present but care should be taken to avoid over-application resulting in excess NO3.
Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Zinc (Za), Iron (Fe), Copper (Ca) and Manganese (Ma)
These levels are reported in parts per million (ppm). Phosphorus and potassium should test higher than 40 and 220 respectively. Small quantities of zinc are sufficient and should measure above 0.3. Soil with high pH may have lots of iron, but it is unavailable for plants. Copper and manganese have not been confirmed as a contributing factor in all areas.
High levels of sodium can cause soil to be hard and cloddy when dry and to take water very slowly.
Soils with a neutral pH usually have adequate calcium. Low calcium can be increased with lime.
Soluble Salts
Soluble salts levels at 2,600 ppm or more are classified as saline. These can be caused by excessive fertilization, insufficient watering and poor drainage.
Organic Matter
Organic matter is reported as a percent of the total soil. Ideally, it would be around 5% however it's often closer to 1 to 3%.

Raising Happy Foodies
On June 16, 2011 @ 11:49 am In All Articles
by Chef Michelle Austin
An obvious goal for family meals is not only to feed the belly but to enjoy ourselves and the company. However, good food, like good times, is a frame of mind – especially when you're dealing with food allergies.
It's all in how you look at it. Treat discovering allergen-free ingredients as an adventure. Let them introduce you and your family to new culinary worlds. You'll build new traditions and a sense of togetherness we all crave.
Make a list of the items everyone can eat, then research different dishes that contain them. Many other countries use these same ingredients – like tofu, soy cheese or rice yogurt — in their everyday cooking. The Internet has erased all borders, providing a world of culinary information. Sites like www.cooks.com www.foodnetwork.com are great resources; or visit your local bookstore or library to thumb through classics like the Moosewood Cookbook, a famous vegetarian read by Mollie Katzen [1]. Co-creator of Harvard's new Food Literary Project, Katzen is regarded as a culinary game changer in our country, incorporating vegetarian meals into our week-to-week lives.
If stepping out of the box is a challenge you are not ready for, then go to your own library of family recipes and give them a creative spin. Easy alternatives like tofu for egg or dairy make little impact when combined with a variety of flavors. Substituting firm tofu for cream cheese is my Chef's secret.
With the menu planning out of the way, it's time to create a safe and efficient physical space. We all know better than to cut raw veggies on the same surface as raw chicken and the importance of frequent handwashing while cooking. Same principles apply when cooking for people with food allergies.
Keep preparations surfaces separate and clean. I divide my basic rules of sanitation into Self, Surface and Storage:
Bottom line here is work smart! You know what they say… A happy and adventurous chef in the kitchen makes happy foodies at the table!
Brownie Bites (egg- and dairy-free)
8 oz silken tofu
1 1/2 cup unbleached flour
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons applesauce
½ cup water
1/2 cup brown rice syrup (or 1½ cup sugar)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp allspice or cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
¼ cup semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp baking powder
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-inch-square baking pan. In blender, puree tofu.
In a separate saucepan, mix 4 tablespoons flour with applesauce. Slowly add water until smooth. (This may not take the full ½ cup; use what is necessary.) Stir in pureed tofu until blended. Cook on low heat, stirring, for 3 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl and let cool completely.
When tofu mixture is cool, add brown rice syrup, salt, allspice and vanilla and mix until well blended.
In small bowl, mix cocoa, chips and oil; stir into tofu mixture. Stir in 1 1/2 cups flour and baking powder until blended. Bake 25 minutes. Let cool; cut in miniature squares.

We're local to Tablelands
100 kilometres west of Cairns, and 1800 kilometres north of Brisbane, lies the region known as the Tablelands. The Tablelands region extends from Mount Molloy in the north, to Mount Garnet in the south, and Chillagoe in the west.
It was first discovered in 1875 by explore and prospector, James Venture Mulligan, on his search for fertile lands and valuable minerals. While passing through, he met pioneer grazier John Atherton, and informed him of the tin deposits he found in Herberton. The two decided to team up to create a track through the jungle from Herberton to the main shipping terminal at Port Douglas. This also came in handy when the timber industry sprang up, and timber needed to be transported to the port.
Originally inhabited by the Muluridji people, the region now has a population of 46,937, and is also known as the Atherton Tablelands, or the Cairns Highlands.
The economy of the Tablelands region is primarily driven by agriculture. The cattle industry plays a significant role in the west, as does the dairy industry in the south. The diversity of crops grown in the area is well-known, with produce varying from avocados, coffee, pineapples, mangos, cashews, macadamias, sugar cane, potatoes, and many, many more. The region is growing popular with the many food and wine trails connecting these farms and wineries.
At approximately 750 metres above sea level, the climate is cooler and fresher than the coast. Because of its altitude, the Tablelands region doesn't have temperature extremes or the high humidity experienced in coastal areas. In the north, winters are cool and dry, and summers are warm and wet. In the south, rainfall is much higher with the area around Topaz recording some of the highest annual rainfall in Australia.
The region is now beginning to build a reputation for its tourism. This is greatly assisted with attractions such as Lake Tinaroo, Chillagoe Observatory, and Malanda & Barron Falls, not to mention events such as the Tastes of the Tablelands Festival, the Mareeba Rodeo and the Atherton Maize Festival also drawing visitors to the region.

Maranello, 29 January – Following Michael Schumacher's skiing accident, there have been a great many messages of affection sent to him. Day after day they arrive from those who shared time and worked with him over the eleven years he drove for Ferrari, as well as from the Ferrari fans from around the world who have always supported him.
Actions, words and thoughts that show just how important Michael is within the very heart of those who love and live for Ferrari and how important a role he has played in the history of the Prancing Horse. We therefore decided to gather together all these messages through the Scuderia's Twitter and Facebook pages and to publish some of them on a special bulletin board.
Piero Ferrari, 29 January – Dear Michael, having spent so many years at Ferrari, you became one of us. You thrilled us so often, bringing us great joy, but the greatest one is yet to come: namely seeing you here in Maranello again, to meet your second family, the Ferrari one. We are waiting for you.

Campaign Trail: Medicare "Choices"?
Mitt Romney rolls out his case for changes to Medicare.
Five days after he picked Medicare reformer Paul Ryan as his running mate, Mitt Romney put that massive entitlement and the controversy over its future front and center in the race for the White House.
Then Romney dropped a bomb about his personal taxes: He's paid just 13% for years.
The GOP presidential hopeful made Medicare a focus with a surprise presentation during a stop in South Carolina, writing on a white board: "Bankrupt" and "Solvent", contrasting the Obama plan with his own.
"Which of these two do you think is better? Going bankrupt or being solvent? Well obviously, being solvent," Romney stated. "And we're going to get a lot of support from people who understand that Medicare should be protected for current seniors as well as for the next generation."
Romney's message to Medicare users, and any American over 55, is he won't change their program, but to everyone younger he is promising change, including a voucher option for private coverage.
"It voucher-izes medicare - it shifts costs to seniors," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney quickly countered. "Seniors on average will see costs rise by $6400 per year. Not the right policy."
Distracting attention from Medicare was Romney surprisingly revealed the bottom lines from ten years of his tax returns he still won't release.
"Every year I've paid at least 13 percent and if you add in addition the amount that goes to charity, why the number gets well above 20 percent," he stated.
The tax rate for millionaires like Romney is 35 percent on regular income.
The Obama campaign quickly repeated their demand that Romney release his returns.
