Opportunistic Infections...OIs What Are Opportunistic Infections? In our bodies, we carry many germs -- bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and viruses. When our immune system is working, it controls these germs. But when the immune system is weakened by HIV disease or by some medications, these germs can get out of control and cause health problems. Infections that take advantage of weakness in the immune defenses are called "opportunistic." The phrase "opportunistic...

National Security:
Key Challenges and Solutions to Strengthen Interagency Collaboration
GAO-10-822T: Published: Jun 9, 2010. Publicly Released: Jun 9, 2010.

(202) 512-4800
Recent terrorist events such as the attempted bomb attacks in New York's Times Square and aboard an airliner on Christmas Day 2009 are reminders that national security challenges have expanded beyond the traditional threats of the Cold War Era to include unconventional threats from nonstate actors. Today's threats are diffuse and ambiguous, making it difficult--if not impossible--for any single federal agency to address them alone. Effective collaboration among multiple agencies and across federal, state, and local governments is critical. This testimony highlights opportunities to strengthen interagency collaboration by focusing on four key areas: (1) developing overarching strategies, (2) creating collaborative organizations, (3) developing a well-trained workforce, and (4) improving information sharing. It is based on GAO's body of work on interagency collaboration.
Federal agencies have an opportunity to enhance collaboration by addressing long-standing problems and better positioning the U.S. government to respond to changing conditions and future uncertainties. Progress has been made in enhancing interagency collaboration, but success will require leadership commitment, sound plans that set clear priorities, and measurable goals. The agencies involved in national security will need to make concerted efforts to forge strong and collaborative partnerships, and seek coordinated solutions that leverage expertise and capabilities across communities. Today, challenges exist in four key areas: 1) Developing and implementing overarching strategies. Although some agencies have developed or updated overarching strategies on national security-related issues, GAO's work has identified cases where U.S. efforts have been hindered by the lack of information on roles and responsibilities of organizations involved or coordination mechanisms. 2) Creating collaborative organizations. Organizational differences--including differences in agencies' structures, planning processes, and funding sources--can hinder interagency collaboration. Agencies lack adequate coordination mechanisms to facilitate this collaboration during planning and execution of programs and activities. 3) Developing a well-trained workforce. Agencies do not always have the right people with the right skills in the right jobs at the right time to meet the challenges they face--including having a workforce that is able to quickly address crises. Moreover, agency performance management systems often do not recognize or reward interagency collaboration, and training is needed to understand other agencies' processes or cultures. 4) Sharing and integrating national security information across agencies. U.S. government agencies do not always share relevant information with their national security partners due to a lack of clear guidelines for sharing information and security clearance issues. Additionally, incorporating information drawn from multiple sources poses challenges to managing and integrating that information. Strengthening interagency collaboration--with leadership as the foundation--can help transform U.S. government agencies and create a more unified, comprehensive approach to national security issues at home and abroad.

White Clover?
Saw this up on a hill behind my house. This is an area I have that runs amuck with weeds, etc, so I never know what's growing back there. Thought maybe it's just clover that got diseased or something, I dunno....
First is a photo of Lunaria annua, aka honesty or money plant. The white discs are the seed pods from last season. The thorny stems look very much like a rose - there are weedy roses as well as cultivated forms. In my area, I would expect to see roses budded out so perhaps just some sort of bramble :-) And the leaves in the last photo do not belong to the thorny vine - separate plant(s) altogether.
Looks like a lonicera and some ivy in the mix as well.
I think the first is a dessicated Hydrangea blossom thrown out by some gardener or blown in there. It doesn't look like Lunaria to me gardengal. Try picking it up and I bet you will find it is not attached to anything. The rest are Lonicera and Hedera as GG says and not related to the Hydrangea.
I don't know if it looks like one, but money plant would be a possibility. Last year, my mom gave me a bunch of the seeds, and I just randomly tossed them around up on that hill.
As far as the ones with thorns, I thought maybe it was some sort of wild rose. Don't recall them blooming anything last year, but they are a bit out of sight.

I sent a letter to (email@example.com) about using them. Their reply, "Toyota does not recommend modifying its vehicles...damage or performance problems...may not be covered under warranty." I had a chat with Derek who, without knowing the above, removed my doubts. I ordered them the same day Dec. 29th and received them the 30th. It took me less than 30 min to complete the installation, and that included washing the windows. They look great. The vertical support squeaked a little.

Fueled by full fields and strong simulcast support, the Hawthorne fall meet, which ended Dec. 31, closed with positive numbers as the first full year of racing under the joint venture of Hawthorne National LLC was completed. The Spring National Jockey Club at Hawthorne posted strong numbers and the Suburban Downs Harness Meet was good as well. It was all a springboard for good things to come this fall at Hawthorne. The track averaged over nine starters per race, posting a 9.85 average starter per race figure on the turf for the fall and an overall figure of 9.04 per race. The full fields helped to make the Hawthorne signal extremely attractive around the country, producing the handle figures responsible for the 2.8% increase in overall handle on Hawthorne's races. For the meet, handle figures were spurred by out of state wagering on Hawthorne's live races. The average handle for like days from the fall of 2002 to the fall of 2003 out of state on Hawthorne races was up, as an average of $2,296,073 was wagered in 2003 compared to the $2,173,450 bet out of state on Hawthorne's races in 2002. Overall, the 2.8% rise in handle calculated out to an average of $2,951,620 wagered on Hawthorne's live card in 2003, compared to $2,871,118 bet daily in 2002. On the racing end of things, Hawthorne's meet got off to a good start as management boosted the purse of the Hawthorne Gold Cup from $500,000 to $750,000, making the grade II race the richest on the dirt in Illinois. Jockey Pat Day guided Perfect Drift across the wire first in that race. Local turf star False Promises came up best with his victory in the Hawthorne Derby (gr. IIIT) while 2002 Illinois Horse of the Year Mystery Giver was best in winning the Robert F. Carey Memorial (gr. IIIT). A track and state record also fell as trainer James DiVito's Coach Jimi Lee flew through a six furlong affair, stopping the clock in record time of 1:07 1/5 on Dec. 12. The final race for leading rider came down to the wire as Hawthorne's all time leading rider Randall Meier and Eusebio Razo Jr. both battled until the final day. While Razo led in purses earned with over $1.3 million for the meet, Meier emerged on top of the standings, narrowly beating Razo by a margin of 56 wins to 51 wins for the meet. The riding title was the fifth in Meier's career and capped a comeback after suffering a meet-ending injury on day three of the spring meet. Razo did reach a milestone on Dec. 12 , guiding home his 2,000th career winner when he won aboard Shadoc.The trainer race carried into the final week as Mike Reavis earned leading conditioner honors, defeating Pat Cuccurullo by a margin of 31 wins to 23 wins. Reavis grabbed his eighth career training title with this fall's victory and fifth title of the last six Hawthorne meets. The race for leading owner was done very early as owner Frank C. Calabrese grabbed the title as leading owner, blowing away the field as he had 43 winners for the meet. The race for second was close as Wexler Stables Inc. finished second with 12 wins for the meet over Hwy 1 Racing Stable who ended with 11 winners. In 2004, Hawthorne will be open year round for full card simulcasting. Live thoroughbred racing returns Feb. 27 with the National Jockey Club at Hawthorne Spring Thoroughbred Meet. The Fall Meet comes back on Sept. 20 and races through Dec. 31. Harness racing will take place this summer, the Suburban Downs at Hawthorne races from July 15 – Sept. 7.

If I were a witch upon a big switch,

Scottish Saying and the first sampler I ever embroidered.
One can tell it's All Hallow's Eve. The moon was out last night, the clouds scooting before it, and a hooty owl was chanting in the grotto. My black and orange cat did NOT want to come in. I could see her green eyes glowing when I went out to fetch her in to the safety of the house. I don't blame her for wanting to be out there. It was beautiful.
Too much brew, perhaps?

Victoria Azarenka, may have been more well known for her infamous grunts and groans during matches, more than for her actual talents themselves. Well, with her 2nd consecutive Australian Open title, that may have changed. She's far from the most beloved player in the world of tennis, she's got a bit of a flare for the dramatic, and has been injury prone throughout the years. But one thing that can no longer be denied is that she has asserted herself as an elite woman's tennis player in the stagnant world of Sharapova's and Williams sisters. Azarenka is the 23-year-old Belarus native, who has moaned her way to the top place in the ATP rankings. She managed to dispatch of crowd favorite, China's Li Na, in three straight sets–the last of which seemed effortless; she bested Na 4-6, 6-4 6-3, to take the Title. Azarenka issued the following statement following the win "I had to stay calm. I had to stay positive. I just had to deal with the things that came onto me."- via Espn The match lasted a total of 2 hours and 40 minutes, and during which saw Na tumble and twist her ankle in the 2nd and 3rd set. The injured Na soon generated a wave of support from the crowd, but the 30 year old could not over match Azarenka. This is Victoria's second grand slam victory, as she proves to be a specialist on the hard courts. Time can only tell if she possesses the versatility to master the clay of Roland-Garos or the grass of Wimbledon, but her career is sky rocketing.

We've rented two different houses in Black Mountain, NC (near Asheville) for vacations. One of them is one of my favorites of all the vacation houses we've rented. The view is beautiful, the house is nice, it's not too far out, and it's filled with books.
This is my favorite room. It's wonderful to sit here, read, and look at the view. The're's a lovely cross-breeze when you open the windows.

It was a totally different experience!
I had a pretty intense allergic reaction to the balsam decorations at the choir rehearsal the night before Christmas Eve. Older son said that the smell of balsam was more intense than at the top of Mt. Mitchell (without a breeze for fresh air). After that, I wasn't sure that I should go to the Christmas Eve service at all, much less try to sing with the choir. However, I was... less than prudent and went anyway since I love the service and the music.
I decided to take Benadryl to try to minimize my allergic reaction. I didn't take enough to put me to sleep, but I took enough that it wasn't a good idea for me to drive. By the time we pulled into the parking lot (driven by older son), I was floating on Benadryl.
All those worries I have every time I go to church? They were ALL GOOOOOONE (say that in a drawn-out, sing-song voice). I just talked to people without worrying whether I was saying the right thing.
During the service, I usually try to focus on listening and behaving correctly. The choir sits on the side so, in order to look at the altar/readers/priest, I keep my head turned to the side for most of the service. When I get home, I take almost always take Advil for the tension headache I got from keeping my head perfectly still and turned 45 degrees to the side.
When I was spaced out on Benadryl, I didn't do this. Not only that, but I looked around and OTHER PEOPLE WEREN"T DOING THIS! They were looking all over the place! It was wonderful to come home from church and NOT have an appointment with the Advil bottle.
I sat with the choir for the Service of Lessons and Carols, and then I sat with my family for the regular Service (in case I had to go in and out of the Nave in order to take breathing breaks)(I also brought a brand new inhaler). Near the end of the service, the Compline choir (which is not the regular choir) sang Silent Night near the side back doors.* I was going to crane my neck to be polite and look at them, and realized that NOBODY ELSE WAS CRANING THEIR NECK. I didn't either (remember, I only even noticed what everyone else was doing because I was spaced out).
I also usually worry about how well I'm singing and what notes I can or can't hit. If my voice is bad due to allergies, colds, etc., I end up feeling very guilty if I can't hit the higher notes for choir. Not on Christmas Eve - even though my throat was still raw from the previous night's allergies. I just looked at the Ds (I'm currently singing alto), and laughed inside, saying, "That's not happening!"
I usually try to focus very hard on the sermon. That didn't work so well on Benadryl. It was a really good sermon, but I sort of fuzzed in and out. Near the end, the priest mentioned the poem, In the Bleak Midwinter, by Christina Rossetti, and the lines:
* This is one way that you can tell that this is an Episcopal church and not a Lutheran one. In the Lutheran churches I've been to, the congregation almost always sings Silent Night while holding lit candles after Communion. One year, the staff of one church sang it to the congregation instead, which was a sweet thing for them to do. However, it didn't go over very well, and the congregation got to sing it again the next year.
Since my inner Lutheran couldn't sing Silent Night at church, I was glad that I'd already sung it numerous times in December with the two community theater groups we're involved with!

"As a person of faith, you do not have to keep Christ in Christmas, he is already there. He is there with the lonely, the depressed, the joyful and the confused. He is there with the widow and the orphan, with you, with me and with the atheist. As people of faith it is in these places, fueled by grace love and hospitality, we can, not bring Christ back to Christmas, but join with him in the work he is already doing, and sometimes work he is already doing in spite of the best intentions of his people."

Jan. 13, 1970 FIG.3
W. E. ANSON SWIVEL SUPPORT FOR A MANNEQUIN HEAD Filed March 15, 1968 INVENTOR. WILLIAM E. ANSON BY 76AM, M M
ATTORNE YQ United States Patent 3,489,383 SWIVEL SUPPORT FOR A MANNEQUIN HEAD William E. Anson, Warren, Mich. (34170 Kelly, Fraser, Mich. 48026) Filed Mar. 15, 1968, Ser. No. 713,415 Int. Cl. A471. 5/00; F16m 11/14 US. Cl. 248-226 1 Claim ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A support for a mannequin head in the form of a generally C-shaped clamp on which is swivelly supported a spindle with which the mannequin head is adapted to be connected. The swivel connection includes a plastic ball and socket joint wherein the ball is press-fitted within the socket member of the joint.
This invention relates to a support for a mannequin head and more specifically to a clamp adapted to be secured to the top of a bench or table and having a spindle swivelly supported thereon and with which the mannequin head is adapted to be connected.
More specifically, the invention contemplates a support for a mannequin head which includes a C-shaped clamp which supports a rigid cylindrical sleeve in which a plastic socket member is telescopically arranged. The socket member is formedwith a spherical socket therein in which an oversized ball at one end of a mannequin head support spindle is fitted. The relative dimensions of the ball and socket are such that, when the ball is press fitted into the socket, the plastic socket member is expanded into tight frictional engagement with the rigid sleeve and the ball is frictionally retained within the socket so that it requires the application of a force to change its position which is substantially greater than the forces to which the mannequin head is subjected when combing and setting a wig arranged thereon.
When wigs are being combed and set they are normally arranged on a mannequin head which is in turn mounted for rotative and angular adjustment on a workbench. It is not uncommon for the connection between the mannequin head and the workbench to include a swivel joint. Such swivel joints are usually of the type which include an adjustment means such as threaded screws or the like for controlling the amount of frictional resistance developed in the universal joint. Beauticians as a general rule are not too mechanically inclined and consequently adjustment of the conventional universal joint employed on supports for mannequin heads presents problems for the ordinary beautician.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a support for a mannequin head which includes a ball and socket type universal joint wherein the frictional resistance to rotative and angular movement of the stem portion of the joint is preset.
A further object of the invention resides in the provision of a support for a mannequin head which includes a universal type connection between the head supporting spindle and the base structure of the support which is of simple and economical construction and which can be readily adjusted by a beautician.
In the drawing:
FIGURE 1 is a side elevational view, with parts broken away, showing a support according to this invention clamped to a bench and supporting a mannequin head.
FIGURE 2 is a sectional view along the line 2-2 of FIG. 1.
FIGURE 3 is a fragmentary exploded view, partly in section and on an enlarged scale, showing the manner in which the components of the support are assembled.
3,489,383 Patented Jan. 13, 1970 Referring to FIG. 1 there is illustrated the mannequin head 10, or a canvas block as it is sometimes called, supported on the top 12 of a workbench by means of the clamp or support 14 of the present invention. Clamp 14 includes a generally C-shaped body portion having generally flat top and bottom walls 16 and 18, respectively, which are interconnected by an upright wall 20. A screw 22 bent at one end to form a handle 24 is threaded through bottom wall 18 and rotatably supports a pad 26 at its upper end. Top wall 16 is formed with a large round hole 28 which receives a metal sleeve 30. At its lower end sleeve 30 is formed with a radially outwardly extending flange 32 which abuts against the bottom face of top wall 16. If desired flange 32 may be welded to top wall 16.
Within sleeve 30 there is arranged a plastic socket member 34 fashioned with a radially outwardly extending shoulder 36 at its lower end which abuts against flange 32 to limit the extent to which socket member 34 can be pushed upwardly through sleeve 30. Socket member 34 is formed with a spherically shaped socket 38 which receives the ball 40 at the lower end of a spindle 42. As shown in FIG. 3 the vertical extent of socket 38 is only slightly greater than the radius of the socket so that the diameter of the opening at the upper end of socket member 34 is only slightly smaller than the diameter of socket 34. Spindle 42 includes a stem 44 having a plastic cap 46 at its upper end. Cap 46 is of fnlsto-conical shape so that its diameter is greater at its lower end than at its upper end.
The mannequin head 10 includes a rigid base 48 formed with a conical socket 50 for frictionally retaining the base on the cap 46 of the spindle 42. Head 10 includes a cork filler 52 which is covered by a canvas cloth 54. Canvas 54 is cemented, stapled or otherwise secured around its lower edge to base 48.
Ball 40 is formed of a rigid plastic or metal which does not readily distort or flow. On the other hand, socket member 34 is formed of a plastic material, such as polyethylene, Which is capable of distorting or elastically flowing under pressure. Socket member 34 is molded with the diameter of socket 38 therein slightly smaller than the diameter of ball 40. The outer diameter of socket member 34 corresponds generally with the inner diameter of sleeve 30 so that the socket member can be slipped up into the sleeve through its lower end as shown in FIG. 3.
The upper end of shank 44 of spindle 42 is formed with a plurality of axially tapered ribs 56. Cap 46 is hollow and is formed on its inside with a series of grooves 58 defined by ribs 60 between which are located ribs 56 of shank 44. The open lower end of cap 46 is formed with a radial flange 62 against which the lower ends of ribs 56 abut. The radially outer portion of flange 62 abuts against the bottom face of base 48 when cap 46 is inserted in socket 50.
In assembling the device, socket member 34 is first inserted into sleeve 30 with its shoulder 36 abutting flange 32. Ball 40 cannot be readily manually inserted within socket 38 for two reasons; the diameter of socket 38 is less than the diameter of ball 40 and the vertical dimension of socket 38, which is spherical, is slightly greater than the'radius of ball 40. However, since socket member 34 is formed of a material which is capable of being distorted and which elastically flows under pressure, such as polyethylene, ball 40 can be inserted in socket 34 by positioning spindle 42 vertically over socket 38 and then mechanically or hydraulically applying a vertically downward force on the upper end of the spindle.
When the ball 40 has a diameter larger than the diameter of the socket 38 to an extent of about .010" to .015"
a vertical force on the upper end of spindle 42 in the amount of 200 to 300 lbs. is sufficient to drive ball 40 into socket 38 and retain it therein with considerable frictional resistance between the outer surface of the ball and the spherical surface of socket 38. By press-fitting ball 40 into socket member 34 the socket member as a whole is radially expanded into firm engagement with sleeve 30. Thus the operation of inserting ball 40 in socket 38 not only interconnects spindle 42 with socket member 34 but also provides a rigid connection between socket member 34 and sleeve 30. As a matter of fact, as long as sleeve 30 has a rather close fit with opening 28 it is not necessary to weld sleeve 30 to top wall 16 since the expansion forces on sleeve 30 resulting from insertion of ball 40 into socket 38 are sufficient to firmly retain sleeve 30 within opening 28 in top Wall 16.
When the parts are assembled as described above, a relatively tight friction fit is obtained between ball 40 and socket member 34. The amount of resulting friction can be increased or decreased as desired by varying the relative dimensions of ball 40 and socket 38. Once these dimensions are fixed then the frictional resistance between ball 40 and socket 38 is preset. This frictional resistance should be sufliciently great so that head will not move accidentally when the beautician is combing, setting or otherwise working on the wig. The relative dimensions of the ball and socket are preferably selected so that the position of spindle 42 is not ordinarily adjustable by manually applying a force to the spindle. However, when a mannequin head 10 is mounted on spindle 42 and a force is applied manually against the mannequin head,
the mechanical advantage resulting enables adjustment of the head to any desired position (such as the broken line position shown in FIG. 1) by a force which can be easily applied to the mannequin by the beautician.
Thus it will be seen that the mannequin head support disclosed herein is not only of economical and simple construction, but also has a swivel connection wherein the tension on the ball is preset so as to eliminate problems of continually adjusting the tension on the swivel connection which is the problem encountered with prior art clamps of this type.
I claim:
1. Means for adjustably supporting a mannequin head comprising a generally C-shaped clamp having a top wall formed with a circular opening therein, a rigid sleeve extending upwardly through said opening and having a radially outwardly extending flange at its outer end seated against the lower face of said top wall, a generally cylindrical socket member formed of a plastic material which is elastically flowable under pressure, said socket member having a radially outwardly extending flange at its lower end, said socket member having a diameter generally corresponding to the inner diameter of the sleeve and being telescopically arranged within the sleeve with its flange underlying the flange of said sleeve to limit the extent of upward movement of the socket member relative to said sleeve, said socket member having a generally flat exposed top face which is substantially flush with the upper end of said sleeve, said socket member having a spherical socket therein which is open at said top face of the socket member, the vertical extent of said socket being only slightly greater than the radius of the socket so that the socket opening at said top face has a diameter only slightly less than the diameter of said socket, a spindle having a conical stem at one end for interengagement with a correspondingly recessed mannequin head, said spindle having a ball at its opposite end, said ball having a diameter greater than the initial diameter of the socket, said ball being press fitted into said socket to expand the socket member into tight frictional engagement with said sleeve, the diameters of said ball and socket being predetermined so that when assembled as described the spindle is frictionally retained in a generally rigid position and requires the ap plication of a force to change its position which is substantially greater than the forces to which it is subjected when a mannequin head is engaged with said conical stem and a wig on the head is combed and set whereby to prevent unintentional displacement of the mannequin head.

I wanted nice plump towels in pretty colors. When I use towels I want to be welcomed by them.You see, my idea of luxurious is a towel that caresses me like cashmere, soft like a teddy bear, and simply ostentatious to my skin. My plum colored towels were plush and vibrant right out of the bag and have remained the same after countless washings. These are definitely the kind of towels that I can find at the Four Seasons. I am abundantly pleased with this collection of towels and I plan many more to add to my collection.
Great bath towels made of rich heavy cotton. Beautiful deep dark color with nice hem along the bottom. Nice large sized bath towels and hand towels. I may purchase a second set of these towels.
Was please with the softness and the thickness of the face towels
I can only say that the chocolate colored towels are absolutely outstanding. Top quality texture and color, just as the chocolate colored "Bath Sheets" . I highly recommend these particular towels.
If you are looking for extra thick cotton towels, these are it! They do take longer to dry..... but they are nice.
Not your run of the mill washcloths. These are thick soft, luxurious, and very absorbent. Very happy with them.
Seem well made but rough and still rough after washing. They are fine for wash clothes I myself would not purchase a bath towel.
wasn't sure what to expect, but was quite satisfied with producr
Thick and thirsty. Love these and use them every day. Would recommend them to anyone that asks. Definitely will buy them again.

Utakata is a boss.
i used to get hate mail for Shino(my main since 2), and it's a thousand times worse with Utakata.

Recycle An Old Christmas Card and Frame
I paid a nickel for a wooden 4x6 frame at a yard sale, and used one of Hoss' Christmas cards, also 4x6, and made this. I used cheap white school glue as a crackle medium and painted it white, then added paint and glitter to the card. Easy! I set it on a dollar store plate easel. Makes a great gift! How to's on my blog :D
Merry Christmas!
Here is a link that might be useful: Kudzu's Blog
Like the idea of crackling with glue!! Came out nice. Like the canning lid ideas also! Cherry, go over on Holidays & check out the "Beach tree" The ornaments are beautiful so I took some tonight & painted them with metallic paint & then with "Twinkles glitter paint" I used a flat fan shell &Folkart metallic antique copper #666 (Can't believe they used that number???)While wet I painted over it with DecoArt red twinkles glitter paint. Another 1 FolkArt #660 Metallic pure gold it was thinner so let it dry awhile & then added DecoArt Twinkles Crystal- that glitter is wonderful, it gives blue, gold, pinkish etc look to your project & works so much better than another glitter paint or glue I have, it doesn't give much glitter effect at all. This is a very fine glitter, more of a shimmer effect I think & I love it & you don't need much either. Do wash out your brush very well tho or it will get hard & be ruined.I noticed i got the crystal on a little too thick so used clean brush to take some off. On this you can't tell how nice it will be until the next day when it is dry. it is slow drying so need plenty of drying time to get the full shimmer. Hoping I can send some to my DIL who is nuts about the Pacific Ocean!! Thought she might like a shimmer on their tree too!! No,you can't make a hole in a shell by heating a turkey screwer & trying to push it through,LOL so will use Weldbond to glue gold cord to back of shell. I only painted the fronts of shells so they can tell they are real shells. Jan

This was really an interesting episode! I never would have guessed Sandra did it. I just thought she's slowly losing her mind, but I didn't see that one coming... Well, I'm glad that the charges against Stevie were dropped and she doesn't have that load to carry anymore.
I'm so excited about Stevie and Alex. I was already so surprised last episode, but this is really amazing. I hope it's gonna become something. I'm sick of Fiona and I love Alex and Stevie together! Can't wait to see how this continues!
I'm reliefed about Stevie and now it's gonna get better again!

- " Overall i enjoyed this hotel as it was filled with other backpackers. Only think that let me down was the staff (except one lady always happy to help). The vibe about the place was awesome and in a nice location for beach and nightlife - wouldn't advise eating the food here as there's better places to get food but a nice afternoon with 20,000 beers by the pool was a nice way to spend a day. "

- " Nice hotel, location was fine. Nice friendly staff who were very helpful. Best breakfast we have had in Vietnam. "
- 11 Dec 2014 samantha England
- " Good clean hotel style hostel. Young backpacker crowd here, good vibe in the bar area - plenty of people. Everyone pumps the breaky up - but to be honest its just your standard buffet breaky - still good, and it's free so no worries there. The place is about a 5-10 min bike ride to the old town/ and the beach the other way. So it's in a good location. The staff are all really good at reception, but the bar and kitchen need some improvement. All in all a good place to stay and meet others. "

- " The personnel of the hotel was not kind and respectful towards us. They also tried to get an higher price for the private car service, with respect to the price they told us at the beginning. "

MetroPCS is owned by T-Mobile. The 1 after the G900T is the only factor that makes them different. They both have the download booster feature as well as wifi calling and HD Voice. Flashing roms on the G900T1 will be compatible with G900T (T-Mobile) Roms as well as MOST G900F Roms, I have a T-Mobile S5 on an international Rom. Everything will be good.

Gigabyte F2A85XN-WIFI review -
Product Showcase - GA-F2A85XN-WIFI
Product Showcase - GA-F2A85XN-WIFI
Right, we start off with packaging as always, so you know what to look for in the stores. Included are SATA-600 cables, a Wi-Fi antenna and an I/O plate. We also find a user guide and software CD, but these are usually given. The motherboard by the way falls in the A85X series which you can recognize by the overall aesthetics, have a peek:
As stated, Mini-ITX... this motherboard fits in one hand and for entry level motherboards and APUs of this size, you have to admit that is a good looking motherboard right there. The focus of this motherboard is that it has a dark looking design whilst remaining competitive with pricing. Gigabyte applies their Ultra Durable 4 Plus design so the board uses high quality PowIRstage driver-MOSFETs and VRM controller. For a motherboard almost the size of the rear IO you receive a lot. USB 3.0 ports, dual-link DVI and two HDMI display outputs, 8-channel HD audio, gigabit Ethernet, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, and several USB 2.0/1.1 ports.
Despite the very small dimensions of the mini-ITX form factor being used Gigabyte has managed to achieve an impressive specification for this model:
- GIGABYTE Digital Power design with GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 4 Plus technology
- Supports socket FM2 AMD A-series/ Athlon-series processors
- Enhanced AMD Radeon HD 8000/7000-series graphics (DX11) integrated with the APU
- 1 PCI-E 2.0 x16 interfaces with AMD Dual Graphics, Eyefinity support
- Features dual HDMI/ Dual-link DVI ports for Full HD 1080 and HDCP support
- Features Atheros Dual Band 802.11 a/b/g/n 300Mbps + BLUTETOOTH 4.0 wireless solution
- 4 USB 3.0 ports with transfer rates of up to 5Gbps
- 4 SATA3 ports with up to 6Gbps link speed and RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 support
- GIGABYTE On/Off Charge technology with 3x USB power design
An yeah, that's 17 cm right there at ya ;)
If you wonder what the two gold colored outputs are right there, that obviously is WIFI. Just look at how well every single bit of space is being used on that PCB.
The unit used is in fact a Atheros Dual Band 802.11 a/b/g/n 300Mbps Wi-Fi card is also located in this area. This card also supports Bluetooth 4.0 and is seated close to the ATX power connector.

how to propagate Cryptomeria japonica 'Elegans'
I currently live in Santa Clara, CA, but am moving to a town outside of Tyler, Texas. My neighbor has an absolutely stunning Plume Cedar (Crytomeria japonica 'Elegans') and I want to grow some more of these from cuttings. I actually grew this tree from a cutting many years ago but I cannot remember exactly what I did.
My questions are:
1. Is this a good time to make cuttings?
2. I think I used a mixture of about 90% perlite and 10% peat moss. Is this OK or can anyone recommend a better medium?
3. Do you think this tree will grow in East Texas? The area is covered with large pine trees and growers raise lots of roses in the area.
BTW: If you want the "perfect" lawn tree, this is it. Absolutely fantastic shape and it changes color between the winter and summer. Soft foliage you cannot resist running your hands through. No surface roots and it doesn't drop anything.
Thanks for your help.
Rolf...you might still be able to to take a few mature tip cuttings...typically taken late summer or autumn...they are generally slow to root...i believe your planting medium will work fine and i believe they should be okay in eastern texas...they are hardy zones 6-9...good luck
I used sand and perlite and the cuttings were dipped in probably #2 hormone, they got bottom heat and mist.
They rooted by the end of the quarter.
This was in a greenhouse propagation class,if I recall correctly it was winter quarter, Jan -March.

My friend Kristi, who you probably know already as schnitzel and boo has designed a really cool travel bag pattern which is released by Rebel Craft Media next month (more details are below). It's bag for confident beginners and up. Once I get moved into my new house, and settled I really plan on making one myself, but I was lucky enough to have one made for me for my quilt market booth last fall by Kristi, and since then I have used it constantly. It's a geat bag for a weekend away, or for taking as carry on because it squishes - you can shove it into the space under the seat on a plane, or into the trunk/boot of your car (especially if you have a car like me that has no boot space, this is a very useful factor!)
It's big, it's roomy and has a load of pockets so you can find stuff easily too. (Just excuse my crappy phone pics, my camera lead is awol since I started packing my house up for moving. *sigh*)
The digital Betsy Bag pattern is available for pre-order now from the Rebel Craft Media shop and will be launched on 1 April - the girls at Rebel Craft will also be hosting a sew along on their blog starting on 2 April - so if you want to make a fabulous bag to take with you when you travel then now is the time to join in!
You can also get a kit with all the bag hardware from the Snuggly Monkey shop !
I have a copy of the pattern to give away - yay!!
Just leave me a comment telling me what fabrics you would use to make the bag and I'll have Mr RNG pick a name next Friday 27 March - make sure you leave an email if you don't have one linked to your profile !!
And follow along with the rest of the blog tour......

In the long run, demographics are against the Republicans.
I heard already for 18 year olds and younger, whites are less than 50%.
And the current Republican Party / Tea Party seems to be doing their best to alienate these future voters.
It seems as if it is just a matter of time that the Republican Party will be a minority party if these trends continue.
The South will not vote for a Democratic candidate for another few decades, perhaps, because they equate "Democrats" with "Effeminate and pro-Welfare for Blacks" and "Republicans" with "Hard Working WASPy Patriots."
From my empirical analysis, the gulf between the West Coast, Northwestern states, and perhaps Atlantic states with the Southern and Mountain states is too wide of a chasm. We can slogan our way out of this misunderstanding, but this will eventually catch up with us and our political and social mistrust of one another.
I noticed that more and more people who are white conservatives are becoming and more libertarian, perhaps in anticipation of a non-white demographic takeover of the USA which will occur around 2050. Their embrace of libertarianism goes hand in hand with many of their ideas, most of which are very benign, but I get this impression that they they view democracy as "tyranny of the masses". Moreover, they realize that their future "Hard Working WASPy Patriot" will not win hardly any elections after 2050, and so they are creating an ideology which will prepare them for this demographic change, and they are reconciling these ideas with our Founding Fathers.
I agree that Republican does not necessarily equal "Hard working WASPy patriot", but there is more than a little truth in the Democrats being "effeminate and pro-welfare for blacks". In particular, Democrat men ARE pretty unmanly.
It always tells the same tale that, a political person is better to be in the halfway between two extremes. Though president abama is a black, he shouldn't show much preference to the blacks.
The entire reason why Obama got voted into office was not because of his political views but because of his race. Everyone wanted a black president to get voted into office. The music/movie industry fully supported him as well. People ignored the political standpoints and focused on the social part of the elections. I am not saying Obama is a terrible president but i doubt he will get voted back into office.
While it is true that Obama got a huge boost from the novelty of having the first non-white (at least not fully) president of the United States, it is reprehensible to imply that the Republicans deserve power just because of that. If you can think, you would not be voting for Obama and the Democrats in 2012 - you would be voting to keep the Republicans out, the party of crazies and abject failures.
It just boils my blood that there are still people supporting this sad excuse of a political party, when they failed to prevent 9/11, when they lied to get the US into a war that cost trillions in dollars and more in America's international credibility, and when they failed to prevent the housing bubble bursting into the worst economic downturn since the 1920s. And even now, these idiots are unrepentant and if anything, are even more persistent in their worship of the failed deregulation, slash-tax-promote-growth god. They nearly drove the US into a recession with their absolute refusal to countenance compromise during the debt ceiling debate, and its presidential candidates - with the notable exception of Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman, both curiously Mormons - are all crazy as hell. Why are the Americans so indulgent with the Republicans anyways? Your people command the world's most influential country - use your power carefully, you have the ability to plunge the planet into a dark age or usher it into another golden one.
Really? Pulling the race card, ABabb? Obama getting elected couldn't have had anything to do with McCain not distinguishing himself as the anti-Bush enough or that clown show that was Sarah Palin running for VP? Moreover, Obama's political views, while they may not be yours (or many other people's at this point in his presidency), were the views of a ton of people in 2008 (you know, because he won - the music/movie industry doesn't cast any electoral ballots). Saying he got elected because of race is both short-sighted and irresponsible.
I think many voters tend to forget to base a president's ability to perform well on what kind of obstacles he has been facing. Obama had to pick up after some of Bush's leftovers. I don't think he's doing the BEST job necessarily, but I think everybody put all their hope in him to be this "American hero," only to realize that not all problems can be solved so everybody can be satisfied. According to the Washington Post, Virginia seems to be a hit or miss. He seems pretty close, but he should make sure to do something to get those last extra votes.
So what is the case with Solyndra and LightSquared? Is it just a good job?
Today's GOP is the house that Strom built. In other words, they're New Dixiecrats, a GOP bloc since the days of Nixon.
President Obama has already seen erosion in support among his base due to pursuit of so-called 'centrist' positions and wholesale concessions to a GOP sworn to his destruction.
Let's hope he locks down the western, midwestern and northeastern states he needs before chasing phantom votes in the former Confederate states.
i dont really think Obama can win on this southern states. He may win on the states he won on his first presidential campaign. I ma nt osure he can win in all of them though
**Obama has a waning chance at turning most of the southern state democratic, but I do see him winning the states he won last year such as Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida. Although the south is becoming more and more republican towards the end of Obama's term, the states he won last year show different trends. Virginia leans to the left a little bit nowadays, and Florida is a swing state in its own right, having vastly different demographics compared to other southern states such as Louisiana. I do agree that his influence is lacking in the south and he will likely lose there. I'm not sure if there is much he can do to win over southerners with his planned policies being so liberal.

I do agree that his influence is lacking in the south and he will likely lose there. I'm not sure if there is much he can do to win over southerners with his planned policies being so liberal.

I wish we had just let them secede.
The Republicans' steady march through the state capitols and governor's mansions of Dixie continued in Mississippi, where they appear to have captured the state's House of Representatives from the Democrats for the first time since the aftermath of the civil war.
You say this like it represents a change. But if you are analyzing elections in the South, it makes more sense to look at 1860-1960, and then again at the current situation...but with the party labels reversed. The reversal being due to Johnson and Nixon, who between them moved all of those who had been Southern Democrats firmly into the Republican column. In the South today, the "Party of Lincoln" has become the party of Jim Crow and the Confederacy.
Probably a mistake to call Florida a "Southern state". I has its own idiosyncratic demographics. It is certainly a swing state.
