What are they drinking if they're under the ocean? What kind of sorcery is this?
In Soviet Russia...
Doh! I wonder if it'll come out with a few hundred million gallons of seawater?
What's the use of a pocket protector when these squids can squirt ink all over the place?
"Uh, Phil, I can't help but notice that you've got a little ink stain there. And also, you're not wearing any pants."
It's a shirt with a picture of a shirt with a stain on it? So an actual stain on the actual shirt would just make the joke more appropriate. Who needs bleach?
Could the "ink stain" help conceal mammary leakage because of the placement?
"You got blue on you".
Kudos to Charity Ryan on this design as well-- there's a ton of expression conveyed in those faces, and it's achieved using only eyes. It takes some serious skill to draw that.
they look so serious...
I bet that squid wishes it was Friday
I'm not sure if those squids are cute enough to meet woot standards. I mean, where's the big doe eyes?
First thing I thought of: You guys made me ink!
Squidward!? Is that you?
And the green is actually working as a watery color...

Very nice shirt, but about the artist write-up- please say that Woot! is giving up using lovingly-held, sacred religious beliefs in an offhand, even snarky manner, for Lent. My family, proudly wearing our Woot! shirts everywhere except church, thank you.
The real question is... do they fill those pens themselves, or do they still get them from a pen factory? Has capitalism even reached the ocean, where buying pens is less expensive than making your own?
I didn't know there were still Limp Bizkit fans out there.
Its just one of those days
Feelin' like a freight train
First one to complain
Leaves with an INK stain...
And if my day keeps goin' this way I just might break somethin' tonight...
that made my night
I wonder what they are drinking. normal coffee, or some kind of jellyfish juice?
I'm going to go out on a limb here, and suggest that maybe they have too many tentacles?
edit: Nope, 10 is the right count. My head must have been in a cloud.
LOL this would be a perfect time for an escape covering jet of ink!
Squids aren't racist. They'll eat everyone, even other squids.
"You've got blue on you."
Is it really pen ink or is it from bashing zombie squids? (you know, like from "Shaun of the Dead")
why do squids need ink if they pee out ink
I think I failed the Rorschach test. Is the ink stain supposed to look like something? Cause all I see is a soft-shelled Zoidberg.

Is the lack of pants really that much of an issue when your head looks like a penis? How about a hat?
aww come on... and it was the pen my daughter gave me!
"So Jimmy, what'd the boss want you in his office for?"
"Oh nothing big... Just another promotion."
"Why congratulations! Say... What's that stain on your shirt?"

Snaring that high-profile job without an MBA
By SCOTT SUTTELL
10:18 am, August 29, 2012
Worried your lack of an MBA is going to keep you from that job you want? This MarketWatch.com profile of a Progressive Corp. executive might allay some of your worries.
OnShift Inc., a provider of staff scheduling and shift management software for the health care field, this week unveiled a product called Staff Exact, which it said "extends OnShift's scheduling capabilities by connecting staffing plans with resident acuity levels."
It you were paying attention to yesterday's action at the Republican National Convention, you must have noticed that jobs were high on the agenda of various speakers. But as The Los Angeles Times points out, the tone was not exactly what you might have expected to hear.

Four questions about the OMA's peculiar position on SB 58
Blog Entry:
October 18, 2013 4:30 AM | Author:
Matt Brakey is president of Brakey Energy, an energy consulting firm in Shaker Heights that works with some of Ohio's largest energy users.
The Ohio Manufacturers' Association (OMA) recently sent a letter to Sen. Bill Seitz, chairman of the Senate Public Utilities Commission, repeating its opposition to
Substitute Senate Bill 58 (SB 58)
, which Sen. Seitz introduced to reform — not repeal — Ohio's energy portfolio mandates.
SB 58 imposes reasonable limitations on the amount ratepayer electric bills can increase due to energy portfolio mandates passed in 2008. Customers are paying for this compliance through a sizeable surcharge on their electric bills.
These surcharges have created a $250 million (and growing) slush fund that pays other customers for the completion of energy-efficiency projects. Organizations such as the OMA also have the ability to extract a sizeable bounty from the slush fund by turning in member-efficiency projects.
The day prior to sending the letter, the OMA issued what it calls an
Executive Overview
of SB 58, in which it characterizes the legislation in a fashion that attempts to justify its opposition. This opposition is in the face of overwhelming industrial and commercial customer support of SB 58.
The OMA opens its Executive Overview by stating, "A fundamental objective of the OMA is to… lower energy costs for Ohio manufacturers…." The OMA then offers a series of misrepresentations of SB 58 before arriving at conclusions diametrically opposed to its members' interests. The OMA's peculiar position on SB 58 gives rise to four questions that its members and the Ohio General Assembly should ask.
What is "vastly broader" than "all"
The OMA misleadingly asserts that SB 58 "would vastly broaden how energy efficiency is defined with respect to what utilities can count toward compliance…." Under current law, the PUCO is obligated to measure portfolio mandate compliance "by including the effects of all [mercantile-sited] demand response programs… and energy efficiency" (RC Section 4928.66, emphasis added).
SB 58 clarifies that when the General Assembly says "all," it means "all." The OMA is not only advocating against the clarifying language of SB 58, but also for an unlawfully narrow interpretation of current law that is inconsistent with the law's plain language. To the OMA, the definition of "all" seems to be "some." By ignoring actual energy-efficiency gains, mandate compliance becomes increasingly arduous, driving up costs to ratepayers.
It is peculiar that the OMA would take a position that makes mandate compliance for its members significantly more difficult than is statutorily required.
How does limiting costs increase costs?
How does limiting costs increase costs?
SB 58 clarifies the cost limit for renewable energy resource mandates in current law (RC Section 4928.64). It also introduces a cost limit for the energy-efficiency and peak demand reduction mandates.
The OMA's Executive Overview states that these limitations on electric bill increases may "limit[ ] program innovation and growth in future years." But if renewable and energy-efficiency resources prove to be the lowest-cost solution as proponents suggest, ratepayers' bills will stay well below the proposed cap. Since program innovation and growth will continue unless costs significantly exceed current levels, the type of program growth the OMA favors can only mean significantly higher bills for its members.
It is peculiar that the OMA would fight efforts to limit its members' cost exposure.
Why does the OMA want to limit the discretion of its own members?
Through the electric bill surcharge scheme, a small subsection of customers may be able to extract more money out of the slush fund than they will ultimately pay into it. However, this scheme is a zero-sum game. The money one customer receives is coming out of the pocket of another, with the rent-seekers taking their cut along the way.
However, for the majority of large manufactures that are losing out in this scheme, SB 58 provides a streamlined way to exit the program.
An exit mechanism for mercantile customers already exists under current law. However, the current exit mechanism suffers from two serious problems: (1) it is overly cumbersome, and (2) organizations like the OMA can get paid a bounty out of the slush fund when a customer exits. These two flaws needlessly squander resources, which ratchets up compliance costs.
The OMA's position is that its members should not be free to decide whether they participate in the program. The OMA seems to believe that its members cannot be trusted to make responsible energy-efficiency decisions without regulatory intervention.
It is peculiar that the OMA would object to empowering its members with a streamlined way to leave the program.
Why is the OMA lobbying against SB 58, and thereby its own members' interests?
In 2007, the OMA argued that while renewable sources of power are an important part of Ohio's electricity generation portfolio, their use should be governed by the market place, not by government mandate. Subsidizing the use of expensive renewable energy sources by forcing all customers to bear the burden will drive up electricity costs for residential, commercial and industrial energy users alike.
It is very peculiar indeed that the OMA now wants to make it difficult for its members to comply with the mandates, expose them to increasing program costs, and prohibit them from exiting the program.
In a mere six years, and on the very same issue, the OMA went from an advocate for market solutions to an advocate for government mandates.
Being able to dip into a slush fund of hundreds of millions of dollars has perverted the OMA's advocacy position. They are not advocates for manufacturers, but for rent-seeking and regulatory capture.
For the sake of Ohio businesses, let us hope OMA members and the Ohio General Assembly see past this false front.

'Mighty Welsh Voices'
Sheffield to Cardiff.
I'm very much on my own tour at present, as I stayed the night in Sheffield and took the train to Cardiff by myself this afternoon. It's not that I'm antisocial but I wanted to maximise the amount of time in Sheffield to make the most of seeing my friends.
Sheffield has made its mark in music, having spawned plenty of bands who have gone the distance, but probably its only global cinematic claim to fame is having been the setting for 'The Full Monty'. You may remember that this film opens with a promotional film for Sheffield, made circa 1973, entitled 'Sheffield, City on the Move'. Seen now it is an absolutely hilarious P.R. fantasy, bigging up the most ordinary aspects of a pleasant but ordinary city in a pleasant but ordinary country. (It obviously worked though. Seeing this film as a teenager I remember thinking how lucky I was to be growing up in such a happening place, uncynical youth that I was).
My school friends Caroline and Martin came by and we had lunch in a nearby cafe. Afterwards we wandered a little and decided to go on the giant Ferris wheel. The three of us had one of the little glass pods to ourselves and waited as they loaded up the others. Finally we took off and once the wheel had turned about 5 degrees, Caroline looked mortified and exclaimed 'Oh no! I've just remembered I'm afraid of heights!' then buried her head in her handbag for the duration.
There was an optional commentary given by some psychotic enthusiast from a local radio station. We had a listen to him extolling the virtues of our fine city in bogus chat show host style over a manically hip soundtrack. Our favourite line was 'and if you look beyond the railway station you can see the world famous... Park Hill Flats!' (They're the toast of Hollywood, I'm sure). In twenty years time I've no doubt that his ludicrous monologue will be included as a bonus comedy feature on the Sheffield City on the Move DVD...
After the exhilaration of the big wheel, I wanted to go to Graves Art Gallery above the central library, which is close by. I remember this well from my youth but haven't been in the place since finishing my biology soil project in 1976. It's a beautiful 1930's building and appropriately the gallery was showing an exhibit of Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore and Ben Nicholson's work from Norfolk in the 1930s. It was a wonderful show and I enormously enjoyed becoming reacquainted with the gallery.
Took a packed afternoon train from Sheffield and on arrival in Cardiff was pleased to find that the hotel and venue were both within walking distance of the railway station. Down at the stadium everything was more or less assembled, though due to venue having a rather low, retractable roof, we had to leave off the top ten metres of the spire, including the high mirrorball, which was a bit of a drag.
I had dinner in catering, over which conversations mainly consisted of plans for the forthcoming break. We've got a little over two weeks before we reassemble in Chicago to take on North America, so most people are going to run away and hide somewhere for a while.
Smasher was beaming as it's his birthday today and he had received a phone call from the International Space Station. The crew called his cellphone via some Intergalactic-Skype kind of set up and sang him 'happy birthday' from space, which has to be the coolest singing telegram in history. Since the tour's first link-up with the space station, Smasher's maintained a pen-pal relationship with Frank DeWinne (it's a Flemish thing). I'm not sure how they figured out it was his birthday but I guess if you're an astronaut you can find out these things.
Saturday 22nd August 2009. Cardiff. Show day.
It's the last day of school before half term, so there was a definite levity in the air. The only slight cloud on my horizon was that the stadium roof, which was due to be closed to comply with the license regulations, was opened at 3pm and remained so for the night. As at Wembley night two, it seems that the regulations had given way to preserve the long-term sound quality reputation of the building. This was a huge bonus for the gig, but did leave our truncated pylon looking a little silly. No matter, it was for the greater good; I vividly recall playing this building with the roof closed on the Vertigo tour and a crystal clear acoustic experience is not what springs to mind.
I had a couple of other meetings regarding some tweaks we're going to make to the system before the North American leg begins. I'm making some minor changes to the lighting system, the video screen motors are getting an overhaul, the mix position is being rethought slightly - not a particularly glamorous to-do list, but these things are impossible to get done when in the throes of back-to-back touring.
The band finished the run with a great show, made all the more so by the singing of the audience. The mighty Welsh voices combined with the acoustics of the stadium to produce a wonderful (and extremely loud) rock choir. Great way to send us off on our break.
Sunday 23rd August 2009. Cardiff - London.
I didn't set an alarm last night so slept quite late before getting up and checking out of the hotel. There was nobody from the tour in the lobby, no familiar faces, or tour crew clothing, anywhere, so I paid my incidentals and walked down to the station by myself. Our instant community has already started to fragment and disperse, before re-forming on the other side of the planet.
I'm looking forward to taking this show to America after this extraordinarily successful first leg in Europe. When we all first looked at this beast in Barcelona there wasn't a person on board who didn't have some fear and trepidation about the reality of being able to tour it smoothly and consistently, but we just did four venues in a week. We've got a lot of very talented people out here and I'm very happy that they're all about to get a little down time.

With an American and Cornish voice throw
I came over from America...New York, actually...to meet up with my boyfriend who's from Cornwall. We're both die hard, U2 fans, in fact we met at Zootopia, in 2003. Anyway...this was my first experience seeing U2 in the UK and it was nothing less than amazing! We saw them at both Wembley shows (the second night was the better, in my opinion), and then in Cardiff. I looooved the city of Cardiff..the twisting and turning streets...but everything's so accessible. Including a five minute walk from the stadium to our hotel.. The show was beyond amazing...the singing was so loud! I really enjoyed adding my NY accent to that! LOL! Loved Edge speaking Welsh..and I really loved the snow globes too! Best of all, I loved experiencing my favorite band in the UK..and I can't wait to do it all again next week at Giants Stadium! No rain...PLEASE!!!
14 September, 2009
Cardiff was fantastic! the whole crowd singing and so obviously enjoying themselves. It was a magical night, and I for one am really glad they left the roof off. It was always going to sound great though, the Welsh would never build a stadium you couldn't sing in!!! Love the diaries, so entertaining. I just wish the guy's were coming back for a second European leg!!
13 September, 2009
Cardiff 09
This was a fantastic concert thus (my 2nd Wembley previous week). The audience were great so many people we didn't know just talking to each other. I love these diaries really informative - quite sad knowing Cardiff was the last on the European leg. Have a brilliant time in America Guys.

Install the latest version of Parallels Desktop (screenshots below are from version 8) following product's typical install guide and then follow Parallels' guide for installing Windows 8. It is a rather straight-forward process but since we aim to run the Windows Phone emulator (a virtual machine) inside the Parallels virtual machine we have to customize the Windows VM installation, so make sure to select "Customize settings before installation".
[edit] Windows VM customization
If you have neglected to enabled VM customization at install time, or if you want to experiment with other combination of options, you can edit the setting below, and many more which are not directly relevant for this subject, using Parallels' Virtual machine -> Configure... menu. For the settings to be accessible simply stop the running VM then restart it after the settings have been changed.
[edit] Number of CPU cores
The Windows Phone Emulator's Windows Phone 8 images come configured for multicore devices, so they expect to have two CPU cores available to them. However by default Parallels makes only once CPU core available to Windows, invoking stability concerns. We have therefore two options here:
- change VM's configuration to allow Windows to see two (or more) CPU cores
- install Windows on a machine with just 1 CPU and later edit emulator VM's settings to lower its CPU setting.
You can experiment with the two options and see which works best on your machine, we recommend the first approach if your machine is powerful enough.
[edit] Memory allocation
Parallels recommends that for a Windows VM you should allocate between 512 MB and 4 GB. We recommend at least 2 GB if you do not plan to use the SDK emulator and 4 GB or more if you plan to use the SDK emulator inside the VM. Of course the amount of memory you can make available to the VM depends on the amount of RAM available on your Mac, you should not allocate more than 50% of the total RAM to the VM.
[edit] Nested virtualization
Virtualization solutions such as Parallels do not typically encourage the use of virtual machines inside virtual machines (i.e. nested virtualization) but some do support it as an optional feature. We need to enable this feature in order for Windows Phone SDK's emulator to work, so as the next step we will check the corresponding "Enable" box in the Optimization page of the Options configuration dialog.
With these settings you are now ready to complete the Windows 8 installation according to Parallels' install guide.
[edit] Enable Hyper-V
Once you have Windows 8 installed fully, you can now install one of its optional features, Hyper-V. This component is required by the SDK's emulator so you must complete this step before installing the SDK.
A reboot will likely be required in order to compete the installation of this feature.
[edit] Install the Windows Phone 8 SDK
You are now ready to install the Windows Phone 8 SDK. If you have already downloaded the offline installer (ISO file) make sure to transfer it inside the Windows VM image and open it from there (you can map the *.iso as a drive and then run the setup utility). If you have an internet connection you can use the online installer. Follow the installation flow and restart the virtual machine when required.
You can now create your first Windows Phone 8 project and have it running in the emulator or on your Windows Phone 8 device.
Note that you have now Windows running as a guest OS hosted by OS X. Only one of these OSs can access the USB port so when connecting the Windows Phone to your Mac expect to see a prompt asking which OS should gain control over the new device. Select Windows Phone and you will see the appropriate drivers being installed by the OS. Once the driver installation completed you can run the SDK tools to developer unlock the device and then start deploying apps to it.
[edit] Lower SDK emulator's CPU requirements
As mentioned above the emulator image is configured with multicore support so it does expect that Windows has at least two CPU cores available. If you chose to (or are forced to) allocate only one CPU to the Windows VM you will have to lower the CPU setting for the emulator as well, or else the emulator image cannot be started.
You can find instructions for how to change this setting in Parallels' Windows Phone 8 SDK install guide.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ynot Very nice! Very nice and comfortable jacket. Looks great too. April 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by The Mentalist You get what you see and ..... Read this review carefully. It loses my one star, a) for it runs slightly larger in size, b) because the back panel has no back horizontal yoke/seam, no middle vertical seam, and no side double seam. This is a bad idea for any jacket or coat especially as thick as this one. It leaves kinda large air bubble fluff in the back which I dont like. It is worse for this jacket because it snugs too tight at hips when you zip up (even just at bottom), but stays loose at backside mid-area, thus it sometimes looks like a large piece of fabric has been just sewn to the front panel on sides. There has to be some kind of seams either at shoulder yoke, or middle, or two seams at each side to have a more classy look at back. Now, further comments on style. You are getting exactly what it looks like in pictures. So, I am not deducting any points on style itself because that is what you know you are getting. The following is just my feedback on what is for you and for improving the style (if they are reading it), not a fuss or complaint on fit/comfort/ or quality. a) It has incredibly slim fit. It tapers at waist from wider chest area. When you just snap zip at bottom, you will realize that it snugs tight at hips and leaves kinda loose backside in the mid-section of your back. So, if you have bulging stomach or chubby hips etc., then be your own judge. It will be uncomfortable. It is intended for slim, athletic bodies, not chubby ones. The back piece, if not with seams as I described above, should have been cut slightly smaller so as not to bulge so much at back-seams described above would have taken care of this. b) Its collars are spread out. I prefer standing/mock collars better. Collars are borderline between men's and a lady coat. Slightly larger and it would look like some lady queen coat. If you were to stand the collars, then it looks like dracula collars. c) Its sleeves are too wide, and are obvious at wrist end. At the wrist-end, they are too wide for my taste and look like sleeves from ladies coat d) Go one size smaller because they run little bit larger. However, you will have more snugly fit at hips due to its narrower hem, but its a trade-off if you want really classic, trim look overall. Your regular size might work, but I think it would be too big at shoulders and sleeves. Oversize jackets and coats are a big no if you want classy, decent look. e) One size smaller will still work with a layer beneath it for cold weather. Consider how you would be using it. If you want to have several layers for cold winter, then get your normal size. Get one smaller if you want classy look with open front etc. I believe this jacket will keep you warm in cold weather with layers. f) It is more like black onyx, than just black. You wouldn't know with a naked eye though. I compared it with my jet, rich black Tommy H. Faux and surely this color is not as rich black. It is still darker than most black onyx, but one notch less than rich real black. I like jet black rich in color better g) The quality is incredible, and luxurious. Definitely worth the sale price. It feels soft to the touch inside and out, but stays crispy overall. This is definitely for formal businesswear, night out, formal dining etc. but too dressy and flashy for just a stroll. Other than that, I definitely recommend this if you want classy, professional look. Lastly, nothing beats trying it on yourself in real, aside from whatever I say March 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vinay Nice jacket Nice comfortable jacket January 24, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Chas Jr. Very Nice Jacket - But Stained Was a great jacket, but had a 6"-7" faded stain along the shoulder & neck line, approximately 2" wide. Appeared to be from liquid or sunlight fading in the one spot. Liked it so much, did not want to return it, did not want to risk not being able to obtain another one. Will try to fix it at a tailor shop. January 9, 2013

Show me one .Net layout class that goes to such lengths in looking 100% platform native on KDE, Gnome, Windows, Mac OS X. Even differences in such details as spacing between items, text alignment, etc, are respected.
This is an example from one of my current projects.
A layout such as this, while pretty simple, is hard to do in .NET Forms.
EDIT: And yes, all this is you see here is laid out by the layouts.
Nothing is manually positioned.
I never said QT is bad. I wouldn't choose it if I were targeting Windows only, but if I were coding in C++ and looking to do something cross platform it would be a good solution. On the other hand, if someone were to create a C#/Mono Wrapper for QT like they have with GTK you could have something like that available to the Mono community. That would really help Mono. While GTK# is... "nice", it's still GTK at its core.
So then when they come to Linux they go all eww that's all disgusting cannot adept, must use MS tech. It's like the guy eating McDonald's shit throughout the year and then when he's taken to a proper restaurant he doesn't appreciate the food because he's so used to his McDonald's crap. So next time he's invited to a proper restaurant he brings his own burgers with him.
I'm sorry but you don't do that. Go back to McDonald's or Microsoft if you're in love with burgers or MS tech, we don't need you and we don't want you here. We've gotta have standards.

|Awesome looking drip tray for the Keezer. Actually mounted it behind the oak trim which the spouts hang a little past the middle of the drip tray but thats ok. Its to catch drips not full pours!
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.
|Pretty Good Drip Tray

|I put this drip tray on my Keezer and it works great. It had a few scuff marks when delivered but no dents or anything like that. I gave it 4 stars because it's a little pricey.
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.
|Expensive, but solid construction.
|Bill (08-16-2013)

|The item was a bit pricy, though of solid construction. I actually received a five hole tray, which was on sale at a lower price, but rather than force them to pay to ship the item two more times, at my suggestion customer service indicated that they would refund the difference in price, as well as provide a credit for a future purchase. While I would have preferred the 4 hole model, I was open to the compromise, and I feel they were responsive to my issue. The overall quality appears solid.
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.

|Ah, satisfaction
Although there are lots of jacket making skills I still need to learn, there are a fair few I can now tick off my list. I feel like I have at least a basic understanding of jackets, which will give me a bit more confidence when I venture down this path again, perhaps trying my hand at this elegant beauty....?
here, I loathe and detest slippery lining fabric, but this one didn't behave too badly (it wouldn't dare, the look I gave it whilst I was cutting it out was terrifying).
|Behold my beautiful lining
The bottom edge of the lining fabric was very prone to fraying, so I attached it to the main jacket with bias tape.

It looks like ATI/AMD drivers are still buggy no matter whether closed or open source. Really disappointing.
Looking at buying a $90-ish card but I don't think I can risk it with an ATI card. Regardless of what I get, I wouldn't be able to sell it to get my money back.
I guess things are worse with mobile-based cards in which you have to worry about power management and the suspend features.
But, two strikes against it, is uselessness for trying BSD and less performance if you ever need to use wine.
Also, it sounds like video is another area where Nvidia, unfortunately, excels. I want to choose the open source option but performance is important to me. When one is just a general computer user, you go with what works, right? :-/
Another area is all the desktop effects, compiz, flash use, fs/window, scrolling, tearing etc. etc. issues I read regarding ATI catalyst AND radeon drivers.
I know Nvidia has its share but I don't know which is the worse situation.
sticking with 11.6 until the OpenCL bug is fixed.
to the folks bitching about suspend/resume: What suspend software are you using ? tuxonice or swsusp2 (or how is it called) ? I never had any luck with tuxonice and fglrx but swsusp2 worked without problems.
I've tried 11.7 and 11.8 with a e-350 APU and I have the same suspend issue. It's bearable but... I wish AMD would get this fixed *sigh* .

Territorial by nature, cats consider their cat litter boxes to be their private little sanctuaries. Regardless of the type, from self cleaning litter boxes to enclosed boxes, your cat's litter box is his special place to relieve himself. Responsible and caring cat parents consider kitty litter boxes along with litter accessories to be necessary items for every cat household. With an innate knack for cleanliness, cats often clean up after themselves which allows them to be relatively low maintenance pets. Being that cleanliness is such a popular topic of concern for cats and cat parents there is a range of cat litter boxes and accessories available to aid in the disposal and absorption of waste, as well as the elimination of odors. They range from the simplest of kitty litter boxes and pans merely filled with litter to decorative night stands and automatically self cleaning litter boxes.

Legion, auxiliary 'light the night' for missing soldiers
A crowd gathered at Veteran's Memorial Park in Dell Rapids Friday night as the sun began to tuck behind the horizon. They were they're to honor those some of America's bravest men and women with a "Light the Night" Ceremony.Unlike the sun, which returned the following morning, thousands of men and women called to service during the last century never got another chance to shine in the United States.Standing before both a U.S. and POW/MIA flag, Army National Guard Lt. Shane Skinner spoke of the 83,343 men and women who went missing or were taken prisoner in conflict."The conflict that my contemporaries are in have only yielded six prisoners of war and missing in action so I count myself very lucky," he said.
World War II accounted for 73,661 of the missing and imprisoned American soldiers.Next to Skinner, Dell Rapids American Legion Auxiliary President Teresa Huntimer and Auxiliary Chaplain Evelyn Huntimer, a clothed table was symbolically set.A white cloth represented the purity of the soldiers' willingness to respond to a call to conflict, a rose represented the families and loved ones at home waiting for the soldiers' return, salt on the plate represented tears and a glass was inverted because the missing cannot make a toast."Let us pray to the supreme commander that all our comrades will soon be back within our arms," Teresa Huntimer said.After the ceremony, 175 luminaries were lit, each donning the name of a local servicemen.

Not a convenient substitute
Posted by Reviewer1065533 on Jan 11, 2012
Tried using this as a substitute for gelatine for my zero-kcal jelly made from no-sugar juice. It certainly is not "neutral" in taste, it will leave a sea weed taste if you use it with mild flavors. Will not purchase again.

Quickly and clearly see differences in schema objects and table data across instances of your database.
Generate update scripts without writing a single line of SQL.
Take the complexity out of recording schema changes in Subversion or Team Foundation Server.
Access the functionality of Schema Compare and Data Compare through the command line.
"This really is the best tool possible to make database upgrades between different environments.
I work at a bank and the rules here are very restrictive. The only way to ensure that we deploy with zero errors is to use Schema Compare for Oracle"
"Redgate's Schema Compare is by far the best schema comparison tool on the market. It now takes just 45 seconds for me to compare 6,000 objects in different instances of my database.
This used to take 45 minutes in Oracle SQL Developer!"
"We plan to integrate Data Compare for Oracle in our nightly builds. At the moment, all our data related changes have to be scripted manually, which is error prone and not very productive.
With Data Compare for Oracle, we can easily compare the data in two different database builds and generate the synchronization script. It's going to save at least an hour of development time each week – and stop me going grey so quickly."
"Redgate's Schema Compare for Oracle accurately compared Peoplesoft Financials in 38 minutes. Embarcadero completed the same job in over 12 hours, and we simply couldn't get Toad's schema compare tool in their DBA suite to even finish the job, it would just error out."
Case study
We speak to Louis-Philippe Normandin, DBA and DB Architect at Techwan SA, about how easy it was to install and use the Deployment Suite for Oracle, and the benfits for Techwan SA and their customers.
Continuous integration (CI) is the process of ensuring that all code and related resources in a development project are integrated regularly and tested by an automated build system.
Code changes are checked into source control, triggering an automated build with unit tests and early feedback in the form of errors returned. A stable current build is consistently available, and if a build fails, it can be fixed rapidly and re-tested.
If you want to get started with continuous integration for your database, you'll need the SQL Automation Pack.
A CI server uses a build script to execute a series of commands that build an application. Generally, these commands clean directories, run a compiler on source code, and execute unit tests. However, for applications that rely on a database back-end, build scripts can be extended to perform additional tasks such as creating and updating a database.
The diagram illustrates a typical integration process. The automated continuous integration process begins each time the server detects a change committed to source control by the development team.
Continuous integration ensures that if at any stage a process fails, the 'build' is deemed broken and developers are alerted immediately.
Database code is code, and should therefore be treated in the same way as your application code. However, the principal difficulty underlying continuous integration for databases is the lack of a simple way to keep a database in source control and deploy it to a target server.
The database is unlike application code in as much as it contains a state that needs to be preserved after an upgrade. Where a production database already exists, DML and DDL queries modify the state of a database. Unlike application code, there is no source code to compile. Deployment therefore relies on creating upgrade scripts.
The lack of database source code makes it difficult to maintain a current, stable version in source control. Creation scripts can be checked into the source control repository, but despite their importance, the disciplined creation and on-going maintenance of these scripts is not often considered a core part of the database lifecycle.
Where changes are deployed to an existing database, all differences and dependencies must be accounted for. In some production deployments, this involves multiple targets with different schemas and data. The manual process is time consuming, prone to errors, and one that should not be left unresolved at the end of the project cycle.
Databases may figure in your CI process because the application code requires a database to function correctly. The database schema version corresponds to an analogous application code version. Any changes to the application code or the database structure could, in theory, break the system. Consequently, they should trigger the CI process.
Once a database is maintained in source control, Redgate tools can build a clean database from its source files to accompany the application build.
If you already have internal test databases that need to match the development databases, you can keep them up to date with the latest version, using continuous integration.
Developers get immediate feedback on each change they commit to the database scripts. If the build fails, they know exactly which change caused it to fail.

Simple and Classic
Circle Classic Save the Date Cards I was really happy with the card. I wanted something with hints of navy, and that was basic, simple, but looked classy and elegant. It was a little smaller than I anticipated, but that's because I didn't pay much attention to the measurements listed. Additionally, I was happy that I could easily add our website address to share with guests, and that it didn't impact the design of the card. t have already gotten compliments from our friends on the cards.

Coconut Shrimp
Coconut Shrimp
Coconut shrimp is easy to make and takes two basic ingredients: coconut & shrimp. This coconut shrimp recipe yields the crispiest coconut shrimp ever!
Coconut shrimp is one of my favorite appetizers, especially the ones served at Red Lobster.
Recently, there is a new takeout place near my neighborhood that sells all sorts of popular items—Korean BBQ ribs, japchae, tonkatsu, and coconut shrimp. I have fallen in love with its coconut shrimp and have been packing them for lunch, at least twice a week. The coconut shrimp is unlike others that I have tried before—the shrimp has a juicy sweet taste that bursts in my mouth and the coating is crispy, airy, without being greasy.
While I love going there for my coconut shrimp fix, it's quite expensive as the $12 lunch box gets me only 4 shrimp. So, I decided to just make my own. I used tiger shrimp, which is ideal for coconut shrimp because of the texture, but I find the frozen tiger shrimp pretty tasteless sometimes. To sweeten up my coconut shrimp, I added some sugar into the beaten egg, which is for the dipping of the coconut shrimp before coating with the panko and coconut flakes. To make the coconut shrimp extra crispy, I dipped the shrimp into the beaten egg and the coating twice. The end result is an amazing serving of coconut shrimp—plump, juicy, crispy, with a tint of sweetness. I made spicy tartar sauce as the dipping sauce.
I asked my nanny to taste the goods, and she said that it's the BEST coconut shrimp that she has ever tasted. She immediately asked for my coconut shrimp. Try it yourself, coconut shrimp makes a great party food that is sure to please.

I love coconut shrimp. I just too lazy to make the. They look great.
I love the look of this! Perfect snack, especially with a spicy tartare sauce. ;)
I love coconut crusted prawn! This recipe is very similiar to one I have but I love your addition of sugar, delicious!
The dipping sauce is making my mouth water :)
Uh oh, this looks so good. I love shrimp.
Coconut shrimp looks delicious. That would be so perfect with cocktail and I am going to try that soon!
This looks delicious! I won't be able to stop eating once I start… love coconut flavor! I have to make this soon.
Thanks for the informations. I am impressed by the quality of information you provide. Keep up the good work!
Your shrimp look perfect and utterly divine! After the coconut and lemon cake i made yesterday, i have a bag of coconut left over so this could be the perfect use for it :) lovely recipe, thank you
YUM! Looks amazing and not too fatty, either! I've never actually tried coconut shrimp with tartar sauce- sounds good!
this looks "nom nom nom"….I will definitely make this tomorrow :)
I'm so glad that I discover ur website couple of months ago while searching how to make vietnamese crepe. I hope u will keep on posting and can't wait till ur book comes in.
Yup, deep fried stuff should be paired with spicy mayo-based condiments. Even wasabi mayo would do fine.
Nice post, Bee.
I like both shrimp and coconut, what an excellent combination!
This is very common dim-sum item in Canada, but they coat the scrimps with milk and flour before dipping in the tartar sauce. Will definately try your recipe.
yummm…this looks delicious! My boyfriend and his family just went to the Lobster House in City Island (Bronx) and my boyfriend ordered coconut shimp which is one of his favorite dish. I am so glad I found this recipe on your website…I can't wait to try this at home and make some for my boyfriend and his family. Thank You for posting this!
Just made some and they turned out great. I pan fried them as I don't have a deep fryer and turned after about a minuted. I also dredged the shrimp in corn starch first and then the egg followed by the Panko/Coconut… I skipped the sugar as I was using sweetened coconut flakes which I already had on hand. Thanks for the recipe.
This looks great! I usually use this coconut shrimp recipe but will give yours a try too!

Time to prune those apple trees
Sunday, March 24, 2013
By Henry Homeyer
When I teach pruning I tell people that the goal of pruning is to thin out the canopy so that sunshine can get to each leaf. This will also allow for good air circulation which will help to reduce fungal diseases. I like to say a bird should be able to fly through the tree without getting hurt.
Don't make cuts flush to the trunk or a larger branch. But don't leave 3 inch stubs, either. Leave the wrinkled bark where the branch originates. That part is the 'branch collar' and it is where the branch will heal and scab over.
The tree I pruned recently was mature but healthy; it had no dead branches or signs of disease. Normally I remove dead wood first.
Next, if 2 branches are rubbing or in danger of fusing together (because they are growing so close together), I remove one of them. On this tree, a four-inch diameter branch was rubbing against and fusing with another, so I removed it in a 2-part procedure. First I reduced the weight of the branch by lopping off most of it. This made the finish cut easier. A heavy branch is likely to snap off and tear the bark before the cut is completed.
It was an awkward cut because the branches were so close together. I used a magic marker to draw lines to show me where to cut. This guided me as I angled the saw up to the exact spot I was aiming for as I completed the cut. I used a 21-inch scimitar-shaped pruning saw for the job. It has big teeth that make the job easier than a smaller saw, and unlike a bow saw, it can get in relatively tight places. It is a Corona brand saw, a model RS 7160that I bought from OESCO, a tool supplier in Conway, MA (www.oescoinc.com).
I removed several large branches in the interior of the tree. It's always a good plan to make a few cuts of larger branches than lots of little cuts. Don't think of pruning as "cutting off an arm". Pruning helps the tree to be healthy and to produce more fruit and flowers in future years.
