A Personal Note from Sherri "Cozumel Carnaval 2015 is Here!"
And YES, just like that ~ Its here already: Cozumel Carnaval 2015! It fell very early on the calendar this year so Cozumel Carnaval 2015 is upon us and as usual it is an incredibly colorful, noisy and fun time of year! This is such a long time island tradition, that its occurrence permeates activities everywhere throughout the island. Competition dance groups are driving all over town and blocking streets with their trucks and sound systems as they perform for neighborhoods and excite folks for the parades. Parking and getting around downtown is near impossible because of all the extra Carnaval activities going on up there. And then of course back in town where folks live, the fabric and craft stores are jammed with folks running from store to store looking for that last bit of glitz to add to their costume. Its just a fabulous part of life here this time of year ~ Carnaval.
A sequin on a lapel here, a glob of glitter there on a skirt or a wad of fabric stapled together and hot glued to the top of an oddly shaped hat seem to be the way to raise a Carnavaleros spirits. I know it does mine! Folks fearlessly try any combination of things because after all ~ it only has to stay put together for 3 nights of parades! And all Carnavaleros try to help each other with costume dilemmas ~ oh I saw orange feathers at such and such store or yes, they have purple wigs just around the corner. And of course if you happen to have anything in your own personal Carnavalero stash of costume supplies that can help some one with a sparkle dilemma, its obligatory to disclose and turn it over! After all ~ its about sharing the fun and participating!
Most folks design and make their own costumes as well as the parade floats, so there are a lot of trailers pulled up in front of houses right now all over the neighborhoods. In a matter of days the trailers are transformed into everything imaginable so they can be in the Carnaval parades. At night, the beer coolers and snacks come out as the guys string wires on the trailers to try to rig up lights and music with generator power while the gals spray paint and glitter things up all over the float. As I drove around yesterday, I saw a fine looking giant shark being glittered ~ maybe theyll put folks inside the mouth or something who knows? Then later in the day I spotted a jumping frog coming to life in another part of town as communities come together and join in the fun that only Carnaval can create. Finally I passed by the location where all of the 'big' floats are being put together ~ those that the Carnaval Royal Court will ride on and wow ~ do those look impressive this year!
Hopefully you are HERE on the island with us and can enjoy this fantastic week of celebration with us and if not, please do visit our Cozumel Carnaval section of the website where we have over a decade of Carnaval pics already posted. I'm excited to say that we've acquired a wonderful collection of Carnaval photos from the 90's that we hope to get posted this year too! But first ~ we'll get back to posting THIS year's Carnaval photos!! Have fun and enjoy Cozumel Carnaval 2015!!

Just wanted to thank COZUMELINSIDER for getting us booked for our activities while we were in Cozumel. The dolphin swim was fantastic! I'd do it again in a minute. We didn't get to do the SNUBA diving ..... we ended up doing the Helmet dive instead for the same price. We plan on visiting Cozumel again possibly next year and will be contacting you to book some excursions prior to our vacation. We saved a significant amount of money booking the excursions through COZUMELINSIDER instead of the cruise line. Thanks again!

Sherri, I was browsing Cozumel Websites the last few days. I came across yours. I have never found a website so detailed to a destination in my life! You supply all the information a traveler could ever want!
You give us how to get there, what to do while we are there, where to stay, how to travel, what to do if we get sick, where to eat, and it just goes on and on!
Thank you for taking the time that you spent in making this my new favorite site!
I wish every vacation destination had a site like this! BRAVO!
Jim Piere ~ Simi Valley CA 93063
Hello: Sorry about all the calls and e-mails yesterday ~ it appears that we had a problem with yahoo email and receiving your confirmations. But I had your staff send the confirmations to my work e-mail and all is good. Your staff was very helpful, customer service friendly and courteous and I think your agency is great! My wife is a travel/booking agent and she agrees with me and plans to use your services in the future to book excursions for her clients. Thanks again and have a good day;

We just got back from Cozumel last week and I'd like to thank you for answering all my questions and for setting us up on the Fury Snorkeling & Beach Party Tour and the van from Budget. This was the 4th time visiting the island and the 1st time that I didn't have the first bit of trouble with booking something online. Your service was great and I will be sure and book with you on my next trip. Thanks again!

This park is part of the Winnebago County (Rockford, IL) Forest Preserve System. There are 4 parks that have campgrounds. They have water fill and dump station available. THERE IS NO BATH HOUSE but there were toilets. We did not use them, so we are not sure if they were flush or pit. The sites are huge and very secluded in the woods. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They have volleyball, horseshoes, a playground and baseball diamond nearby. We are looking forward to trying the other 3 campgrounds in the near future. This one is located near shopping, grocery, gas, etc. just north of Rockford, IL. It is a very great deal for the money and unlike the State Parks, there is no alcohol prohibition. We camped at Hononegah Forest Preserve in a Motorhome.Undo

Favorite chips to accompany your favorite sandwich!
I love Bugles with my favorite fried bologna sandwich on rye with mayo.
Someone said Bugles are great filled with peanut butter.
Who woulda thunk!!
My fave are sea salt and vinegar, and munchos. I had never had munchos before till about a year ago and I loved them. Don't have them very often though, not everywhere has them.
I like to put plain chips on my tuna sandwiches.
I absolutely love homemade thin sliced potato chips.
Munchos. $2 a bag! This is for you:
Gabriel's Horns
1/2 c. creamy peanut butter
3 c. original flavor Bugles snacks
3 (2 oz.) squares chocolate candy coating, melted (or white almond bark)
Spoon creamy peanut butter into a small plastic bag; snip a small hole in corner of bag. Squeeze a small amount of peanut butter into each Bugle. Dip the peanut butter-filled Bugle into melted chocolate and place on wax paper to dry. Store in airtight container. Yield: Approx. 3-1/2 dozen
We buy a bag of Kirkland Kettle Chips every two weeks..usually will feed the family for that time frame..depends on how snacky the boys are..they were originally purchased for hubbys lunches only..but now they go in the boys lunches too..or on a plate with a turkey sandwich for me.
We love Fritos too..I love to scoop tuna up with them.
When I was a kid it was plain lays or sour cream and onion with pickle chips(dill or sweet didn't matter) squished into tuna sandwiches..
In Adamstown PA there is company called Goods.
They make 2 kinds of chips:
The blue box - kettle cooked in lard.
The red box - thinly cut and more in line with most mass produced chips today.
Most people around here specify the blue box...YUM!
As in...."should I get chips for the party?"
"yes. Goods"
(and then almost as an afterthought, but just to be sure..)
"....in the blue box!"
But sadly I almost never have chips at home anymore. Too tempting,,,,and did I mention they are fried in lard?
Lard has about 5 times the saturated fat compared to canola.
But, if f I was eating a sandwich with them, it would be fried sweet bologna with mustard and chips in the sandwich.

Here Lies My Heart
Essays on Why We Marry Why We Don't and What We Find There
Reviewed by
Cari Noga
Defenders of the institution will be relieved; more than half of the twenty essays in Here Lies My Heart muse about why people marry, instead of why they don't. What most of these essayists say, however, is not likely to encourage those contemplating entering into a permanent "we" state of being. The relationships both male and female authors write of are characterized far more by hurt, breached trusts and resentment both inflicted and felt than by contentment, intimacy and happy endings.
These things are not inherently bad; negative experiences can often be more instructive than positive ones. Unfortunately, only a few of the authors write so that the reader may learn. Louise DeSalvo's "Adultery" is one. As candid as the title, this first-person essay starts with the discovery of her husband's affair. That discovery causes her to frankly examine changes in herself since marriage. "I buried my spirited self and became staid and settled…though it seemed he was unfaithful, paradoxically, he was faithful. To the spirit of the woman he married, to the kind of union he had imagined." DeSalvo reclaimed her lost self, and suggests readers honor adulterous impulses—not necessarily by acting on them—but by paying attention to what they say about the status quo. It is a most unselfish, original take on a situation that typically follows one of two scripts: shipping out angrily or sticking it out miserably.
Other standouts for original angles or lessons left with readers are Gerald Early's "Monogamy and Its Perils" and Mark Doty's "An Exile's Psalm." Early discusses how race can pressure a marriage: "No one yearned more than I to fulfill the duties of being a father and husband; to show the world-both black and white-that I, as a black man, was not the moral failure so many supposed me to be." Writing from a woman's perspective, Doty's essay explores his protagonist's emotions over the death of her first love, and how they affect her relationship with his successor: "I found myself in love and in grief simultaneously, which is no easy place to be."
Many of the other essays are tales of particular circumstances and experiences that do not seem to apply beyond the author, and do not answer the questions the title claims. Still, these essays are intriguing, entertaining and well-written.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Saturday is National Coffee Day, and the latest episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee pairs the brew with two old stars of maybe the best comedy show ever, Jerry Seinfeld and Michael Richards. The video finds them searching for Sugar Ray Leonard and discussing a chess story from Richards' Army past and even his unfunny comedic breakdown a few years back. "Sometimes I look back at the show, and I think I should have enjoyed myself more," the former Kramer muses of his time on Seinfeld. At which point Seinfeld reassures him it's the audience that's supposed to laugh. Oddly, mention of the show's own estimable coffee history goes unmentioned. [Via Buzzfeed]

It blended my foundation flawlessly. I have only used it once but I still didn't notice any fallout. Date published: 2015-02-26 Rated 5 out of 5 by Silerys from This is an amazing brush, handsdown. Its soft, great for creams and powders. Cleans easy. Doesn't shed. Applies everything evenly. Love it, use it everyday. Date published: 2015-02-24 Rated 5 out of 5 by kristin6491 from so easy! I just got this in the mail today and used it right away! It is so easy to blend with. It works perfectly with my new elf blush and bronzer set!! Date published: 2015-02-24 Rated 1 out of 5 by CoJo from SHEDS HORRIBLY! I bought this brush after seeing reviews. I don't know what brush they bought, but it couldn't have been this one. It's very soft, however, by the time I finished blending my foundation, I had a face full of bristles. It felt disgusting. NEVER AGAIN Date published: 2015-02-23 Rated 4 out of 5 by gill from Love It! I just got this today and am loving it. It gives you full coverage if you need it and since it is a smaller brush, helps you cover imperfections with more precision. I tried cleaning it and to be honest it was a bit of a hassle but overall love this brush! Date published: 2015-02-21 Rated 1 out of 5 by msousa from :( Bad quality. Couldn't use it came loose/ broken!!! Date published: 2015-02-19 Rated 4 out of 5 by Trish2014 from great tool for foundation application This stippling brush makes for perfect application of my liquid foundation. Creates that flawless finish. I love my Real Techniques brush and this is a close 2nd at a much lower cost. Thanks ELF. Date published: 2015-02-16 Rated 3 out of 5 by Skywa from Its okay. I got this because i didn't want to spend a ton of money on flat top kabuki brush. I thought this might suffice. It really is just...okay though? I tried it out w/ a foundation i got on this site as well and I hated it, so maybe that's why I'm just okay with this brush. I may update my review later, but at the moment its just meh.I dont get any special effect out of it. It seems to hold on to product a bit too much. Maybe i will try this out with powders. Date published: 2015-02-13 Rated 5 out of 5 by SammH from What a steal!! This brush is such a steal!!! It's an amazing pair to the mattifying foundation & I use it daily. It's so soft and workable. For $3, I'd buy this brush over and over again! Date published: 2015-02-11 Rated 1 out of 5 by Jenna111 from Slightly Dissapointed. I typically love E.L.F. I was so excited to try this out , but this brush is not thick at all. Some bristles already fell out. I assumed it would be thicker something to apply foundation with, I already have a flat top brush so i'm unsure what to use this for... oh well. Date published: 2015-02-10 Rated 1 out of 5 by emmycamille from NOPE! I have had this brush for six months and have used it very sparingly. It has always shed on my face giving me whiskers and when I washed it last week the bristles completely came out and I had to throw the thing away. Denser packing of the bristles and more secure construction of the brush would totally help. I will say though that this did blend pretty okay despite the whiskers it left behind Date published: 2015-02-10 Rated 4 out of 5 by neverfearlizzishere from Nice brush just didn't work for me It's a good brush overall. Picks up liquid foundation nice and gets it on. The problem I had was that the bristles are just the tiniest bit to long to really stipple on foundation. they bend and it takes some time to figure out how to make it work right for foundation. I still have it and it's my back up. No shedding and still in one piece which is great! Date published: 2015-02-04 Rated 5 out of 5 by nyp_x0 from Easy to work with All time favorite brush ! It gives me an amazing finish and gives me almost an airbrush look. Date published: 2015-01-18 Rated 5 out of 5 by Hannah19 from Great For Natural Look This Brush Does Not Pick Up A Lot Of Product And This Is Perfect For Me Since I Go For A More Natural Look. (I Own 4) Date published: 2015-01-16 Rated 1 out of 5 by Gbriella from Sheds too much I was lookingg for a brush to apply cream blush and after I saw many reviews on youtube I went for this one ( the price is great) I am new into make up, but this brush sheds too much, I do not expect to last me long. Date published: 2015-01-16 Rated 2 out of 5 by tayfanch44 from Very Prickly I've had this brush for about 6 months, and the bristles are pretty much stripped. I don't think I've used this brush too vigorously, because all I use it for is stippling and buffering foundation. It was great at first, but now the brush is so stinking prickly and rough. I don't use it much anymore because now it hurts to apply anything with. Date published: 2015-01-11 Rated 5 out of 5 by SarahKate from love it! my favorite brush! I have even thought about buying the small one also! use it for my foundation and love it!!! Date published: 2015-01-08 Rated 5 out of 5 by Netty from Good quality. Love it! You can't go wrong! Buy it!!!!!! You won't regretit . Date published: 2015-01-06 Rated 5 out of 5 by sophiageorgiana from great for sensitive skin works really nicely, use it for putting on my foundation Date published: 2015-01-05 Rated 1 out of 5 by KinleyH from I got this brush along with a lot of other elf products as a Christmas gift. I have looked up all these brushes of youtube and everybody said they were great, unfortunately mine is TERRIBLE, I hate it. It is way to flimsy for me to do anything with it and it sheds. I have seen people who have bought two of them and they got one that worked great and one that is like mine. So I guess this product and along with the larger one is taking a gamble when you buy them. If these products weren't so cheap I would have to ask for a refund, but hey you get what you pay for. Date published: 2014-12-28 Rated 5 out of 5 by Murdoctopus from LOVE this Fell in love with this brush instantly! It whisked foundation evenly and quickly all over my face. Normally fast application does not result in a smooth, even application for me but using this in light circular motions went so well, I am instantly obsessed! Great quality. If you're going to get a stipple brush, get this one. Date published: 2014-12-24 Rated 2 out of 5 by delilah__xx from Eh I bought this like a month ago and I got to use it twice before it just snapped in half. I did not have a problem with the shedding, however I did have a problem with the stability of it. Date published: 2014-12-18 Rated 1 out of 5 by mandalamama from "NEW" Stipple Brush is awful quality I own an ELF Studio Stipple Brush from *last year* that is perfect, both for application and blending of both liquid and cream foundations. I ordered another of the same brush November '14; I didn't notice that it's a *new* brush in the description: "This new antibacterial, synthetic haired Taklon brush is softer and more absorbent and can be used with wet or dry products."The new ELF Stipple brush is a very different product from the old one. The bristles are longer, there are about half as many bristles, and the bristles spread out too far and randomly for it to be used as a stipple brush. After a second use, the ferrule (metal part) fell off the handle. I compared both brushes closely and it's definitely not the same product. I hope ELF goes back to the old design! Date published: 2014-12-16 Rated 5 out of 5 by Rlquig from Really good deal I already own the small stipple brush and I was really impressed with it, so in my last order I decided that I would purchase the regular stipple brush as well. I used it to apply my foundation and it just makes everything go on so much smoother and faster. Love it. Date published: 2014-12-12 Rated 4 out of 5 by Tashb from Great brush for BB Creams/Foundations!! This brush I thought I would use for blush or something with less surface area, highlight or something of that sort, but another customer mentioned to try it as a foundation brush and that is exactly what I did, and I loved the results. Date published: 2014-12-11 Rated 5 out of 5 by classyme from must have brush The best brush to use for cream foundations. stippling the foundation with light hand to all over your face creates flawless finish. Try it, you can't go wrong it's cheap and worth more than your high end brushes. Date published: 2014-12-03 Rated 5 out of 5 by burso from AMAZING! I HAD NEVER USED A STIPPLE BRUSH BEFORE I ORDERED ONE FROM E.L.F. NOW I DON'T KNOW HOW I EVER SURVIVED WITHOUT IT. IT IS PHENOMENAL TO PUT ON YOUR BB CREAMS. AS IF I DIDN'T LOVE IT ENOUGH I HAVE CLEANED IT SEVERAL TIMES AND THERE IS NO SHEDDING OR ISSUES WITH THE BRUSH. IN LOVE WITH IT! Date published: 2014-11-28 Rated 1 out of 5 by Kenzie1034 from Poor quality brush fell apart - not typical of elf I have purchased endless orders from elf and have loved most of the products - however, this is not one of them. I bought this stipple brush from elf which came apart after one use. Not only that, but I had the bristles ALL OVER MY FACE stuck in my foundation. I threw it out after one use. Wouldn't buy this particular brush again Date published: 2014-11-26 Rated 3 out of 5 by annamariek from Not the best stipple brush! I bought this a while ago and was using it everyday. It was okay the first time I used it, but it clumped together and wouldn't spread evenly around my face! It picks up a lot of pigmentation, but it is usable. I am still going to use it, but I will not buy again. Date published: 2014-11-20 Rated 4 out of 5 by Lovev22 from Liked this more than I thought I would I was not overly impressed with this brush when I used it with my liquid foundation. But this has become my favorite brush to use for very pigmented blushes. It diffuses the pigmentation so nicely and evenly. I took one star away because this is geared more for foundation, not blushes. If they advertised it to help with pigmented blushes and that was what I was expecting, I would totally give it five stars.

AP Edits 'Muslim' Out of Obama's 'Muslim Socialist' WHCD Joke
In some of its reports on Saturday night's White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCD), the Associated Press chose to edit one of President Obama's own gags. The AP strangely edited out the word "Muslim" in one of Obama's self-referential jokes.
Early in his comments on April 26, President Obama made reference to his young life with a joke and a visual image projected on the video screen.
The President joked that everyone loves Michelle and mentioned that she has even appeared on magazine covers. The President said he also appeared on a magazine cover and showed a humorous mock magazine cover on the video screens. The faux cover showed the President golfing on the cover of "Senior Leisure."
President Obama then said, "These days I look in the mirror and have to admit, I'm not the strapping young Muslim Socialist that I used to be. Time passes, you get a little gray."
This joke must have been too insensitive for the AP in some of its reports, however.
In one version of the night's story (as seen at Huffington Post, Time Magazine, Breitbart Wires, the Ottawa Citizen, and The Columbian to name a few), the AP's Bradley Klapper made a little edit to the President's joke.
"I'm not the strapping young Socialist that I used to be," the president remarked, and then recounted his recent 2-for-22 basketball shooting performance at the White House Easter Egg hunt.
What happened to the word "Muslim"? Apparently it was all too much for the AP.
Interestingly, in other versions of Klapper's story the word Muslim does appear.

Jim Gerson is leaving Reef to become president of Warnaco Group's swimwear division. He will be responsible for all aspects of the Speedo brand.
Jim served as president of Reef for just over a year, replacing John Wilson. His last day at Reef is Friday.
Jim is a long time VF executive, and worked for the company since 1986. His experience includes working with VF's Jantzen and Tommy Hilfiger swimwear lines, and top roles at The North Face.
Jim's departure comes on the heels of Steve Murray leaving his role in March as president of VF's Action Sports Coalition to become president of the Urban Outfitters brand.
in June 2009, Michael Egeck, the president of VF's Contemporary Brand Coalition, departed. He was recently named president of True Religion Apparel.
Jim Gerson had done a lot of work with Reef on changing the brand's seasonal calendars, restructuring the company's sales force and other big initiatives. Click here to read an interview with Jim about his Reef strategy.
After Steve Murray's departure from VF, Jim reported directly to VF CEO Eric Wiseman.
Cindy Knoebel, VF Vice President of Financial and Corporate Communications, told me this morning that the company is working on a succession plan for Jim at Reef and expects to have a decision in the near future.
In the meantime, Reef VP and CFO Roger Spatz will run the company, Reef Vice President of Marketing Kevin Flanagan said.
Kevin also told me this morning that he spoke with Wiseman on Friday, and Wiseman was very upbeat and in no rush to name a replacement, and instead wants to look for candidates within the framework of a deliberate and thoughful process.
Kevin said Wiseman expressed confidence in the brand, which is currently performing well at retail and with consumers.
Reef and VF have been investing in the brand this year with 18 new buildouts in core stores and and by hiring about eight new employees in the past three months, Kevin said. The company is also about to invest in increasing its social media presence.
Here is the release from Warnaco:

Agastache seeds in
Sorry to bunch these up guys , but I forgot to mention in my last post that over at Lowes tonight I noticed their burpee seed racks and one that just happened to be there was Agastache ,apricot sunrise. This just surprised to me to see this seed , which was the only Agastache they had there among their flowers and veges.
Apricot Sunrise is an F1 hybrid from Agastache aurantiaca and A. coccinea. Seed from this will be variable and should not be sold under that name. It was one of the first Agastache hybrids released. I found it as a volunteer in a hanging basket of A. aurantiaca. The only other species in bloom was coccinea, and it was different from either parent and intermediate.
A. x `Firebird', `Tutti Frutti', 'Pink Panther', and `Pink Lemonade' are also my releases. The last three were hand-pollinated under grow lights.
Interesting, I thought it was just a type of aurantiaca, not a hybrid. There is a whole flat in the basement which are now getting their first true leaves. They are destined for a hot dry sandy location. If they survive it will be interesting to see how variable the plants are. Several seed companies have been offering the seeds in the past few years. It seems that Thompson-Morgan had them last year.
Becky , odd you should mention Thompson-Morgan, for I believe that is who I received Mine from. I have a lot of work ahead of me in a couple of months . Hope I have time to do it. Penny really gave me a kick start on some seeds isnt she a sweetie.
F1 hybrids are bred every year for seed catalogs and GH mass producers. The parents are crossed yearly to produce these F1's. It's just the seed harvested thereafter from the F1 hybrid plants will not be true. Most veggies in a catalog are F1 hybrids as are many many flowers.
more info....
Here is a link that might be useful: Hybrid Seed (F1)
Vera, what you say is completely true, but the cross was between a collection of both A. aurantiaca and A. coccinea made by Roger Sanders as part of his study of Agastacne section Brittonastrum for his PhD thesis. I'm pretty sure both of these accessions, especially the coccinea, have been lost. Some of the nurseries I originally distributed them to may still be vegetatively propagating aurantiaca. Apricot Sunrise should be applied only to crosses between those two accessions (really, only to the original seedling and its clones to be completely correct).
Southwestern Native Seeds has recollected the A. aurantiaca, and it has also been collected from pure stands at the Denver Botanical Garden, so that one is true in the trade. Both species are somewhat variable in the wild.
These ornamentals are not valuable enough for Ball, Burpee, and other seed producers to hand pollinate. Besides, a maximum of four small seeds is produced for each pollinating stroke, not hundreds as with tomatoes and cucurbits.
Apricot Sprite is a much smaller plant than Apricot Sunrise. Mine only top out at 18 inches and it is a little less hardy than Apricot Sunrise. Apricot Sunrise gets about 3 ft. tall and is hardy to zone 6 maybe lower. The flowers of both plants are very similar in color.
My problem with agastaches is not in germination, they do so nicely with bottom heat. The trouble comes after they have grown their first true leaves and then begin to damp off. Last year's rupestris experiment began with several hundred seedlings and ended with less than a half dozen making it into the summer garden. Those are not exactly stellar results.
Has anyone here tried using a weak camomile tea to help prevent damping off? I read this somewhere else on gardenweb and have been using it on my seeds that I start inside. It also helps if you have fungus gnats. I have had a few seedlings die, but nothing widespread, so I have attributed the deaths to something other than damping off.
To tell you the truth I'm not sure what is the cause. As an experiment this morning I raised the seedling tray up to within a few inches of the lights - maybe they will do better. Penny, I kept a 2nd seed packet as a back-up. Because of the tough conditions the plants will be going in to I wanted them well grown prior to planting. The only water they will be receiving is what nature provides. This die-off condition seems pretty much confined to agastaches, none of the other seedlings I grow suffer from it. It might be a simple as the growing medium, perhaps a much more sandy medium is needed?
How dense are the seedlings? If the seed leaves are touching one another when fully open, you have been sowing them too close together. Remember that the true leaves will be three to five times the size of the seed leaves. You will need two pairs of true leaves to do successful pricking out and replanting. Oversowing is a frequent mistake of those working the first time under grow lights.
Botrytis is a likely suspect. Air circulation and keeping the moisture content down will help.

The collaged work of Nicholas Lockyer and Nick Paliughi caught my eye on the same day. Though their styles are different — with Paliughi's works a bit more ornate and Lockyer's a bit more lo-fi — the two embrace similar color palettes and compositional tendencies that make even the busiest of moments of each piece feel like negative space in contrast to their focal points (not to mention the obvious double Nick appeal). Recurring themes of humanity and nature also seem to play a fine and entertaining role with both, though Lockyer's pieces feel darker and more humorously perverse, and Paliughi's more whimsical and playful.
Nick Paliughli
Paliughli claims to have been making hand-cut collages since "he fell out of a barn broke his ribs. The ribs healed but the urge to make collages did not." Humorous.
Nicholas Lockyer
The closest thing I could find to a bio was his friend calling him an "image poet" in this "magical" image. It speaks well for him.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

So I usually just random queue on ranked/draft/blind queue with people I don't know.
I'm 6-2 ranked, and my 2 losses are when I queued with friends.
Right now on my game record I have 4 losses. Out of the last 10 games, I've queued with friends 4 times.
Does anyone else have this issue? It's not always my friend's fault, it's not always my fault, sometimes it's no one's fault. I don't know why, but whenever I queue up with peeps on my friends list, I almost always lose. 90% lose rate when I queue with mates.
QQ. Sad face and all that jazz. ):
lol I get the same problem. I admit the friend I'm refering to is bossing me around a bit too much when he's the adc and I'm the support, so we fight -_- when I play with strangers I do better

Brief Architecture Description Of The AMD 64-bit Processor By Elias Victor For Professor Vetón Kepuska Digital Systems Design (ECE-5571) Spring Term 2003 Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) TABLE OF CONTENTS Title Page 1 Table of Contents 2 Abstract 3 Introduction and Scope 4 64-Bit Processor Mode Registers 5 Instruction Subsets 6 Memory Management 8 Stack 10 Status (Flags) Register 11 Operand and Data Types 13 Conclusion 14 References 15 2 ABSTRACT The most important distinguishing feature of the new AMD 64-bit processor when compared to others of its kind like the Intel Itanium II processor is that it is backward compatible with the existing x86 architecture. This allows it to natively execute (without re-compilation) legacy 16 or 32-bit x86-based applications on operating systems like DOS, Windows, Linux, etc. At the same time, because of its increased 64-bit addressing capabilities and its expanded set of register resources, new or re-compiled 64-bit applications can execute natively. The drawback to this approach is the inherent complexity resulting from a processor that can now be categorized as a "jack of all trades." One has no choice but to wonder how many new features or capabilities did not make the design because the execution of legacy applications would have been impaired. The AMD design team has, without doubt, accomplished a very significant feat. But it accomplished this with a complicated design that retains all the resources previously used by legacy applications and incorporates new resources needed by today's more demanding 64-bit applications. 3 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE The new AMD 64-bit processor incorporates two main operating modes: long and legacy. The long mode incorporates two sub-modes: 64-bit mode and compatibility mode. The legacy mode incorporates three sub-modes: protected mode, virtual-8086 mode, and real mode (see figure below). In order to limit the amount of material covered in this report, I decided to focus on the long 64-bit mode of operation of the processor that, as shown in the figure above, is designed to support the current and future needs of 64-bit operating systems and applications. More specifically, I will attempt to describe the architecture that supports 64-bit addresses with 32-bit and 64-bit operands along with the 64-bit wide general- purpose registers (GPRs). The report will briefly discuss, but will not present in detail the description of the more advanced media or floating-point instructions possible with this processor. There are entire volumes of documentation written at the AMD web site discussing these instruction types and their capabilities. I encourage the reader to access and download the set of manuals listed in the REFERENCES section (page 15) of this report for a more in-depth coverage of these and a multitude of other related topics. The majority of material presented here was abstracted from these manuals. 4 64-Bit PROCESSOR MODE REGISTERS A system with the AMD 64-bit processor can support any of the modes of operations described in the abstract section of this report at the same time. The operating system and/or applications written to execute on such a system can query the processor using the CPUID instruction to determine its capabilities before using any of its extended 64-bit features. The CPUID instruction will return processor feature information in the EAX, EBX, ECX, and EDX registers. If after executing the CPUID instruction, your application determines that the processor supports the 64-bit mode of operation, then your program can use the set of extended registers and stack described in the table below. Note that all subsets of these registers used for compatibility and legacy modes are also accessible from the 64-bit mode of operation. Thus 64-bit mode has access to a much larger register set than is shown in following table. Register Set or Stack Name Number Size (bits) General Purpose RAX, RBX, RCX, RDX, RBP, 16 64 Registers (GPRs) RSI, RDI, RSP, R8-R15 128-bit XMM Registers XMM0-XMM15 16 128 64-bit MMX Registers MMX0-MMX7 8 64 x87 Registers FPR0-FPR7 8 80 Instruction Pointer RIP 1 64 Flags RFLAGS 1 64 Stack -- 64 5 INSTRUCTION SUBSETS The instruction set is sub-divided into four subsets each utilizing its own set of registers: 1. General Purpose instructions include: Basic x86 integer instructions and instructions to load, store, or operate on general-purpose registers or memory data. Depending on the effective operand size, opcode, address size, or stack size used by the instruction, the register size or subset of bytes that are referenced from these 64- bit registers is determined. For example, register RAX in an instruction would reference all 64-bits, EAX the low 32-bits, AX the low 16-bits, and AL the low 8-bits stored in the register. This allows a single 64-bit register to be used in all modes of operations. Access to the extended GPRs requires the use of a single REX prefix. REX prefixes must immediately precede the first opcode byte in an instruction and they must have a value in the range 40h to 4Fh (see MOV RAX example below). 2. 128-bit Media instructions include: Streaming Single-Instruction, Multiple-Data (SIMD) extensions to load, store or operate on 128-bit XMM register data, and the processing of vector (packed: defined as integer or floating-point values packed into a single operand) and scalar data types. SIMD instructions can be performed independently and simultaneously on multiple sets of vector (packed) data types. These instructions are most useful when executing intensive multimedia and scientific applications that process blocks of data at a time. 3. 64-bit Media instructions include: Multimedia extensions (MMX) and AMD 3Dnow! instructions to load, store or operate on 64-bit MMX register data. As in the 128-bit media instructions above, these instructions are performed on vector (packed) and scalar data types and are also characterized as SIMD instructions. 4. x87 Floating-Point instructions include: three floating-point subsets that can use up to three distinct register sets to process floating-point operands: (1) 128-bit media instructions support 32-bit single-precision and 64-bit double- precision floating-point operations, in addition to integer operations. These operations include a dedicated floating-point exception-reporting mechanism. (2) 64-bit media instructions support single-precision floating-point operations on both vector and scalar data, but do not support the exception-reporting mechanism. (3) x87 floating-point instructions support single-precision, double-precision and 80- bit extended-precision floating-point operations on scalar-only data types and a dedicated exception-reporting mechanism. The 128 and 64-bit media instructions are designed to accelerate image processing, music synthesis, speech recognition, full-motion video, and 3D graphics rendering applications by processing vector (packed) data simultaneously using SIMD technology. For 6 example, a single 128-bit XMM register can hold 16 byte integer data elements. The 128-bit vector instruction can operate on all 16 integers independently and at once. Thus two such 128-bit registers can perform 16 integer additions and return the results back to the first operand register in a single operation. In addition, AMD's SIMD implementation includes saturating-arithmetic instructions that can simplify the handling of overflow or underflow conditions by saturating at the largest or smallest possible value that can be represented by the destination register thus avoiding unexpected conditions. 7 MEMORY MANAGEMENT Virtual memory consists of the entire (virtual/linear) address space available to programs (264 = 18446744073709551616 memory addresses), parts of which are located in memory with the rest located on magnetic disk or other storage media. The operating system can use selectors for code, stack, and data segments to protect running processes from each other, but the base address is always 0 when running in this mode. Segmentation in 64-bit mode is disabled. The entire virtual address space is considered a single, un-segmented unit starting at address 0. The AMD engineers leave the implementation of any segmentation model when operating in this mode to the operating system software developer and claim that this allows for "more efficient coding of new 64-bit multi-programming operating systems". Segment registers hold the selectors used to access memory segments. Since 64-bit mode does away with segmentation, the CPU recognizes only three of the available six segment-registers. These are CS (used to store attributes like the "default-size" (D) bit and the "long-mode" (L) bit) and FS/GS (used by software to make address calculations). But even when using those three registers, 64-bit mode utilizes a very small subset of their bits. Physical Memory is defined as the installed memory in a system that can be accessed by the processor through its memory bus interface. The number of address bits on the bus (52 in this case) determines the maximum capacity of the physical memory space. As shown in the figure below, paging is used in 64-bit mode to translate addresses between the large virtual or linear address space and the physical address space. In 64-bit mode, virtual addresses of 64-bits in size can be generated. These addresses are then passed to the long-mode paging function that generates 52-bit long physical addresses. Thus 12-bits of the virtual address are used to specify the memory page 8 number to use. The entire virtual address space can then be subdivided into a maximum of 212 or 4096 pages containing 252 or 4503599627370496 physical addresses each. The system uses little-endian (least-significant byte is stored at the lowest memory address and the most-significant byte is stored at the highest memory address) byte ordering. The image below shows how a quad-word (defined to be 8 bytes long) data type is stored in memory or in a general-purpose register. Instructions are read from memory one byte at a time starting at the least-significant (lowest address). For example, the 64-bit MOV RAX instruction consisting of ten bytes (48 B8 8877665544332211) has "48" as an instruction prefix specifying a 64-bit operand size, "B8" as the opcode that along with the prefix identify the 64-bit RAX register as the destination, and "8877665544332211" as the immediate value or operand to be moved to RAX. In memory, "48" is stored at the lowest instruction address, and "11" is stored at the highest. In 64-bit long mode, addresses specified with 16-bits or 32-bits are zero-extended to form the full 64-bit address. The instruction-pointer register (also called RIP or Relative Instruction Pointer) is used to locate the next instruction to execute in memory. In 64-bit mode RIP contains the displacement (offset) from base address 0 of the one and only segment. RIP is used to aid in the calculation of the effective address by adding to it a displacement (near pointer). The latter is important because it allows for the addressing of data in position-independent code. Far pointers containing addresses to data are not used in 64-bit mode since the architecture supports only a single data segment (flat- memory model). 9 STACK The stack is defined as a "stack frame" consisting of two 64-bit registers: a stack-frame base pointer (rBP) and a stack pointer (rSP). The base address of the current stack segment is stored in the "stack-segment" register (SS). Whenever rBP and rSP are used, the processor must access the current stack segment. The figure below shows the state of SS, rBP and rSP before and after data has been pushed onto the stack. After the push, rSP becomes the new top of the stack. 10 STATUS (FLAGS) REGISTER As outlined in the 64-Bit PROCESSOR MODE REGISTERS section, the RFLAGS register is a 64-bit register. It is accessed when the processor is in the 64-bit mode of operation. The figure below highlights the low 16-bits of the RFLAGS register. These set of bits include the flags that are accessible to software applications. These flags include one control flag (direction (DF)) and six status flags (carry (CF), parity (PF), auxiliary carry (AF), zero (ZF), sign (SF) and overflow (OF)). The DF controls the direction of string operations. The six status flags provide result information from logical and arithmetic operations, and control information for conditional move and jump instructions. Bits 31-16 are flags accessible to system software only, and bits 63-32 are reserved. Direction Flag (DF): Determines the order in which strings are processed. Setting the flag to "1" means that the data pointer for the next string instruction will be decremented. Setting the flag to "0" means that the data pointer for the next string instruction will be incremented. Carry Flag (CF): The carry flag gets set to "1" by the hardware when the last integer addition results in a carry or the last integer subtraction results in a borrow out of the most-significant bit position of the result. The flag gets cleared to zero otherwise. The carry flag is also used in conjunction with shift and rotate instructions to shift bits of operands. AND, OR and XOR logical instructions clear the carry flag. Finally, bit-test instructions (BTx) set the value of the carry flag depending on the tested bit's value. Parity Flag (PF): The parity flag gets set to "1" by the hardware if the last result of certain operations include an even number of "1" bits in the least-significant byte. 11 Auxiliary Carry Flag (AF): The auxiliary carry flag gets set to "1" by the hardware if the last binary-coded decimal operation results in a carry (during addition) or a borrow (during subtraction). The flag is cleared otherwise. Zero Flag (ZF): The zero flag gets set to "1" by the hardware if the last arithmetic operation results in a zero, otherwise the flag is cleared. Other instructions like compare and test also affect this flag. Sign Flag (SF): The sign flag gets set to "1" by the hardware if the last arithmetic operation resulted in a negative value, otherwise the flag is cleared. The value of the sign flag is equal to the value of the most significant bit of the result. Overflow Flag (OF): The overflow flag gets set to "1" by hardware when the most- significant (or sign) bit of the result of the last signed-integer operation differed from the signs of the operands. The flag is otherwise cleared. This condition indicates that the magnitude of the result of the operation is too big (overflow) or too small (underflow) for its defined data type. 12 OPERAND DATA TYPES Operands can be obtained from a variety of sources. These sources include: registers, memory, I/O ports or immediate. Operands obtained from an immediate source are included as part of the instruction and do not require a memory, register, or I/O port access. Operands can have the following data types: Signed Integer Name Description Double Quadword 16 bytes (64-bit mode only) Quadword 8 bytes (64-bit mode only) Doubleword 4 bytes Word 2 bytes Byte 1 byte Unsigned Integer Name Description Double Quadword 16 bytes (64-bit mode only) Quadword 8 bytes (64-bit mode only) Doubleword 4 bytes Word 2 bytes Byte 1 byte Packed BCD 1 byte divided into two 4-bit pieces BCD Digit 1 byte divided into two 4-bit pieces Bit 1 bit And can be interpreted as the following types of numbers and strings: Signed (two's-complement) integers Unsigned integers Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) digits Packed BCD digits Strings, including bit strings 13 CONCLUSION The new AMD 64-bit processor (also referred to as "Opteron") is a very complex digital system. It would take a lot more than two weeks and ten pages to thoroughly describe all of its characteristics in detail. In this report, my intent was to provide enough new information about its new 64-bit mode of operation to be instructive and to hopefully encourage the reader to seek more in-depth, related materials from other sources. The report lists the main modes of operation of the processor and places emphasis on the new 64-bit mode. It lists the 64-bit mode registers and briefly discusses the available instruction subsets (General Purpose, 128-bit Media, 64-bit Media, and x87 Floating- Point) and capabilities. Thereafter, the report delves into a more detailed description of the processor's 64-bit mode memory management characteristics; stack and status register descriptions, and available operand data types. It is my personal opinion that in the interest of maintaining backward compatibility with the legacy x86 architecture, AMD has limited the capabilities of the new processor. I believe that AMD should have done like Intel and taken a dual track approach: (1) to enhance the legacy 32-bit x86 architecture processors to continue to support their existing customer base, and (2) to create a brand new 64-bit processor with innovative new features, without the legacy support, but with support for the upcoming 64-bit operating systems and applications. The latter could have resulted in a simpler design with more silicon available for the addition of new features or capabilities and perhaps a smaller footprint. I see the new AMD 64-bit processor as a transitional processor, one that will have a temporary lifespan. Nevertheless, once the choice to remain backward compatible had been made, the AMD processor design team did an excellent job at incorporating 64-bit support to their existing line of 32-bit processors. 14 REFERENCES 1.

Pringles sale was top Cincinnati M&A deal in 2012
- Gigi Verna
- Senior Editor/Researcher- Cincinnati Business Courier
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
The off-then-on sale of Procter & Gamble Co.'s Pringles brand dominated the Business Courier's list of the largest Tri-State mergers and acquisitions for 2012.
The list – available in our print edition today – was compiled with data from Courier research, the Malibu Group and FactSet MergerStat.
Oddly enough, the Pringles sale was No. 1 on this year's list, and No. 2 on the 2011 list. That's because Diamond Foods Inc., a Stockton, Calif.-based firm, had originally offered to buy the snack food brand from P&G in April 2011 for $2.4 billion.
But shortly thereafter Diamond, a maker of kettle chips and nut products, became enmired in an accounting scandal that forced the resignation of its CEO and chief financial officer. The deal was canceled in February 2012 and the same month, Kellogg Co. stepped in with an offer of $2.7 billion. The deal closed in June.
P&G also landed in the No. 2 spot on this year's list for its $1 billion buyout of a European joint venture in which it had originally partnered with Barcelona, Spain-based Agrolimen Group. P&G now owns 100 percent of the venture, which produces the Arbora and Ausonia feminine care and diaper brands in Europe.

Two acquisitions were announced after the press deadline for this list. Hillman Cos. said on Dec. 18 that it planned to buy Toronto-based H.Paulin & Co. Ltd. for $104.6 million, and General Electric Co. announced on Dec. 21 its intent to acquire the aviation business of the Italian aerospace firm Avio SpA for $4.3 billion. Avio would operate as part of Evendale-based jet engine maker GE Aviation. Both deals are pending

The hotel staff were extremely helpful from giving directions to
restaurant recommendations. It is located in the heart of the city and
the lite rail makes it very easy to get around. The facilities were
great bar, gym and spa. The room itself was of a high standard and I had
no problems with my stay. - Anonymous
Everything!! The staff was great. We came to town early to go to an expo
at the convention center and stopped at the hotel only to ask for
directions. We were there 3 hours before check in and they checked to
see if they had an available room and checked us in 3 hours early! The
breakfast was a fabulous hot buffet. The room was great... Bed was super
comfy, decor was contemporary (definately not your typical, blah hotel
decor), room had just about anything you could need. I will definately
