Supreme Court sides with county on trash plan
Buford Guy, I mean TOMMY HUNTER, there are at least a few of us out here in the hinterlands that are paying attention. You post all about the garbage deal, which on balance, is more good than bad, but certainly not all good. But, Boudreaux, for all his faults that you maligned him with in your scorch the earth campaign last summer. at least voted to hold the line or lower taxes every year. You sir, in your 1st vote, vote for a budget that will by NECESSITY, raise taxes at least 8% this year. Yet you campaigned on a platform, straight from your website, " the county government should be run like a household budget, you do more with less." How do you answer this Buford Guy, I mean TOMMY HUNTER? As for Boudreaux, I don't he is finished at all. An election where someone loses by 50something votes in a gerrymandered by Don Balfour district, where 5% of the folks vote is by no means the end per se'

Storage of bare-root trees before planting
I just found out that one of the nurseries that I ordered tree stock from is giving me the option of shipping on 3/11 or 4/15. I have time scheduled off of work to plant during the first week of April. So it's looking like I will be taking the 3/11 shipment and storing the trees for a few weeks, about three weeks in all including the shipping time.
The nursery is telling me the trees are shipped with enough moisture so that they can be stored in their original packaging for a "few weeks", or they can be heeled in some moist sand until ready to plant. I wasn't planning on buying any sand (would need enough for 25 trees) so I would prefer to store them as received. I do have a root cellar that I could store them in that probably wouldn't see more that 40 degrees during this time-frame.
What would be your preferred method of storage?
For what it is worth, the trees are coming from Trees of Antiquity, so I would think they would be well packed.
Thanks, jamie
40 degrees is great. Stick them in there and you will be fine. That assumes they are at least reasonably packed. But at 40F there shouldn't really be much issue.
Heeled in outside they will be at a higher temperature most of the time. I'd go with the lower temperature any time.
Jamie, for that long a period I would take them out of your cold storage say once a week and give them a soak in a tub, and keep the roots well-wrapped in wet newspaper or the like while in storage. I have stored bare roots in my cool garage for several weeks and had many die; the roots looked all dried out when I unwrapped them to plant. Every vendor wraps trees differently, some will help keep the roots moist a lot more than others.
I often just put mine in the shade for 3 weeks covering with a tarp. However, my boxes are crammed tight with trees and there is never any danger of them drying out.
In all the years I've been running my nursery I've never had trees die because I waited too long to plant them and I'm very busy in Spring. The problem with opening up the box is that it is a lot of work to put everything back as it was if the box is crammed full.
I've had some success and no failures that I remember planting in late April and early May. That's pretty late here, 80s for highs, hot, dry, and windy. I believe I painted most of those trees white at planting.
They also do OK even with some buds pushing. Earlier planting of fully dormant stock is preferred.

I just stumbled across this game while I was searching for space Station 13 gameplay Videos. I never actually got to Play Pyrce high myself because there obviously are no Servers but from what i saw on YouTube this Looks like a really REALLY cool game so I thought that maybe if someone who knows how to host a Server it would be awesome if he would do that. and then if you see a Server JOIN IN even if there only is one guy on the Server that way we can make this work!(also sorry for my bad grammar but Im not from the USA)
MikauOfDarkness: (Nov 11 2014, 3:40 pm)
I figured out how to host so... I can try it for now.
Clidemaster1: (Jun 26 2014, 12:10 pm)
We need change. If anyone who comes here sees that no servers are present, host a server. We must always have at least one server up at all times. If anyone comes by, please join the server and dont leave. No matter who you are, try to put up a server, and if a server is already up, join and wait for other s to arrive. If we kept at a process like this, the community would be live again. I myself would host, but I'm undergoing technical difficulties.

Guys we need some servers up men, whatever happened to the bukkake this game was?

there is a middle ground. you're appealing to a demographic. riot tries( correct me if im wrong riot[on this point alone i know ironstylus will disagree on my others]) to create something that the majority of players aspire to be and want to play. take gragas. he is a great champion but way unpopular... no one wants be gragas( not to say he isnt a great addition to the league because he is)... although its sad we live in a semi sexualized world today. most girls want to look like supermodels and be regarded as beautiful its what they aspire to be.. if 78 % of people would rather play a sexualized character because they aspire to be them. thats what riot will make.
I know what i know iron stylus wants to do which is right. is make champions that people aspire to be that arent the same slender sexualzied girl. diversity and depth is what he is seeking. but thats not to say making sexualized females is wrong either... there just needs to be both. its what the majority desires. and thats unfortunately or not just the way the world works.

...Are you monkeys still throwing turd one on another?
Geez, so much war for so little... =w=
Ew, but Varus is so nasty looking. His muscles scare me, his skin scares me, and his nasty grunts when he sends off his Q (I believe) just make him gross in every where. The most somewhat attractive male characters are probably Ez, Graves, and Jarvan. Although Ez needs to put on a little weight and Jarvan and Graves need to bulk down a bit, since it's more intimidating than sexy.
A man's chest is a secondary *** characteristic (muscles mass and strength from testosterone). You can say women find a man's chest attractive, but very few women would actually agree that the size of the chest in almost all the male's champions of League of Legends are "sexy" rather the most common opinion I come across from female players is that they are disturbingly big and boring looking when they have this common trait.
again i feel like
-------------------------------------------------------------------->the point
people's heads
HAHA. Guess what, why would they cater to female gamers when 90+% of the gaming community = male? Yea ... pretty much.
Iittle virus
As a female I also don't mind playing 'sexualized' characters; I pick who is fun to play. I did think the playboy riven skin was dumb, but that just means I won't buy it.

My Miele DW: Please let me brag!
I just wanted to spread my love for my still-new Miele Futura Dimension. My other nearly-new horror of a dishwasher NEVER could have done this. I am still in shock that the Miele can get these kinds of results with baked/crusted on peach pie filling and cake!! It was so crusted on that I went through a lot to scrape off the excess...hard as a brick!! I will have to put picture #2 (the after) as a comment because it won't let me post 2 pictures in the same post. I must be doing something wrong! Here is the before:
I envy you folks with the Miele. When we went to buy a new DW in 2009 it was clearly so much better built than the KA, but my odd-sized dishware and oversized cookware simply did not fit well in the old tine setup. I think they'd fit now, and will certainly try to make our next DW purchase a Miele. I have no confidence the KA will last more than 10 yrs.
It was thanks to GW suggestions that I took an entire box full of my usual DW load into the appliance store to try loading different models. The salesman was so flabbergasted, he forgot most of his sales spiels and only recovered his compoure towards the end! It was pretty funny, actually!
Jkom... Oh trust me, I did the same thing this time around! LOL. I carried around a strong tote bag with dishes, glasses, bowls, silverware, etc. Our young salesman had a look on his face like I was an alien! :) It was the best thing I've ever done before an appliance purchase. Before I bought my GE nightmare DW, I didn't do that and as a result, every time I loaded anything in it, everything fell over EVERY time I pulled the racks out. Had I brought some dishware with me before that purchase, I never would have bought that useless thing!! Live and learn...
Great pics! Love my Miele, so you are indeed preaching to the choir!
I brought some dishes and baking pans with me to Abt Appliances when shopping for a DW. The salesperson didn't bat an eye, and proceeded immediately to demonstrate the various adjustments that can be made to the tines, etc. When I made a joke about my bringing my stuff, he said "oh everyone does that". Must be regional differences...
I tried the Finish Quantum about a year ago, and even though they cleaned well, I noticed that since they contain a bleaching agent, that some plastic items started to discolor. That's why I then went to the Method Smarty tabs. I only use a half tab, and it cleans just as good, but without any bleach.

Legend: real or imagined? In their demon-bound minds, fearful and powerful men consider Arcinaė, the last Damselfly, a threat to their race. Hunted by those men, Arcinaė must set aside her docile nature to learn the skills of weaponry and war if she is to protect her unborn offspring and ensure the future of her race.
AmazonBarnes & Noble.comDamselflies
In their demon-bound minds, fearful and powerful men consider Arcinaė, the last Damselfly, a threat to their race. Hunted by those men, Arcinaė must set aside her docile nature to learn the skills of weaponry and war if she is to protect her unborn offspring and ensure the future of her race.With the help of Ilerion, an embittered nobleman, and his manservant, Nilus, Arcinaė races against time to stop a vicious warlord set on cleansing the world of the Damselflies' potent magick.Spanning two generations, Damselflies sweeps you into a tangled web of twisted legends and broken promises, desire and deception, fear and fallacy, and the endless struggle to control the minds of humankind.
Chapter One:
The hunters dismounted their gryphons and cautiously approached the scorched remains. Intermittent flames flared as the last of the settlement's dry wood was consumed and cinders, caught in gusts from the light spring wind, scurried and hissed over the final drifts of snow.
"Harpies," Nilus dismissed, kicking at a smoldering body with disgust.
"Nay, I do not think so. They do not bear the talons of the harpies. See? The feet appear human," Ilerion said as he examined the charred remains, "and the harpies do not build bothies, only stick eyries."
Ilerion squatted next to another burned corpse, reached out and touched it, testing for heat. Finding it cool enough to handle, he reached under and turned it over to examine the vestiges of the amputated wings. The blackened flesh came away in his hands, and the delicate bones crumbled beneath his touch. Moving, he lifted another and discovered its wings had also been severed.
"Check the bodies beyond you," Ilerion called to Nilus. "It appears that the wings were severed from each body."
Nilus used the toe of his boot to lift the remains of several of the bodies, then shouted back, "Aye, I have not found a single one with wings attached."
As he wandered from corpse to corpse, Ilerion checked each one. None had escaped the blade of the butcher. It was impossible to tell if the wings had been amputated before or after death, but he hoped the butchery had only been on those already dead.
A high pitched keening shattered the silence of death and brought Ilerion to his feet with sword drawn, eyes searching for the source of the wailing. Atop a small knoll stood an apparition so covered in gore and ash that it was impossible to determine its identity. A second scream echoed through the smoke-filled glen as the body crumpled and fell backward to the earth.
Ilerion raced forward and dropped to his knees beside the fallen creature. It was a woman, naked and blood-smeared. Her features were distorted by swelling and dark bruises. Pulling the cloak from his shoulders, Ilerion covered her before placing his fingertips below her jaw, feeling for the pulse of life. It was slow and faint, but it was there.
"Out of mercy finish it," Nilus spoke behind him. "It will not live long, if indeed it lives at all."
"She lives." Ilerion said, gathering the woman and lifting her to his chest. "If we can reach the healer before the life fades away there is hope that she may continue to live."
"Ilerion," Nilus's face darkened with concern, "it is not a woman, for there are great bloody wounds in its back where wings grew. It is…a beast. Ananta will chase us away if we bring her such a creature."
"Not a beast, Nilus," Ilerion said, his eyes warning against speaking further of beasts. "Without wings she is simply a badly beaten woman. The healer will help us." Squatting, Ilerion laid the unconscious woman across his knees to examine the gaping wounds high upon her shoulders. Pulling a shirt from his pack, he tore it into pieces and stuffed them into the holes to stanch the bleeding. He then lifted her and placed her gently over his shoulder as he whistled for his mount.
As he mounted Grundl, Ilerion heard the gryphon's question in his mind, Whose life do we save today, Hunter?
"I do not know her name." Ilerion answered.
Shaking his head at his partner's foolish risk, Nilus leapt to his mount and urged it skyward, banking toward the outskirts of Lamaas and the healer, Ananta.
Order Information
The Library Journal
In the Seven Kingdoms, only one Damselfly remains; the rest of her kind have been butchered by evil men who fear the potent magic of these winged women. Aided by Ilerion, a nobleman unlike the Damselfly hunters, Arcinaė must wage war to save her kind from extinction. Continuing the story begun in The Wrekening and Dragon Queen, Gibson sets her saga of survival amid persecution in a richly detailed universe populated by many races as well as fantastical creatures and bathed in the light of magic.
PageOne Literary Newsletter
"Jayel Gibson, author of the new novel, "Damselflies" (ISBN: 1933538643I; Synergy Books ) is a writer with imagination, talent and passion. In a generation that yearns for great fantasy novelists like J.R.R. Tolkien, readers will find and fall absolutely, without a doubt, head over heels in love with Jayel Gibson. In a recent interview Gibson said, "I don't seem to have a choice. I believe that writing chooses the person, rather than the person choosing to become a writer. For me, writing is a passion and telling the tale consumes me until I get it down on paper. The fact that others read and enjoy my stories and the link that forms between writer and reader is a truly magical reward."
"Damselflies" is a magical story spanning two generations. In true genre form "Damselflies" asks the question -- Legend: Real or imagined? Is Arcinaė the last Damselfly? Is she a threat to an entire human race? "Damselflies," is "An epic fantasy about discrimination and the struggle for justice."
What Gibson offers with incredible talent is style, believable characters, vivid imagery and imagination that will transport the reader to a completely different place and time. Fantasy fiction is at it's best when the reader feels like they are in a different world and "Damselflies"does this better than any other fantasy novel this year. As the author points out, "Fantasy is an escapist genre; it allows me to create a multitude of worlds, meet new races and creatures, and consider all the possibilities that never were, but might have been. I tend to use whatever research method best facilitates the information gathering process: Internet, books, personal interviews, or a phone call to a museum curator. Research is the kindling that starts a story's fire. Both historical occurrences and the mythos provide the platform for my work. I might begin with the mythos, then research historical events for a plausible plot line, or begin with a historical event that triggers a new idea. Generally they go hand in hand, though I will be the first to admit that I twist and tangle the actual history until it is quite unrecognizable. For example: The wedding in Damselflies: An Ancient Mirrors Tale is modeled after historical hand-fasting and the ceremony of the cup. The coronation scene in Dragon Queen: An Ancient Mirrors Tale is fashioned after that of Queen Elizabeth II. The use of ancient languages, archaic terminology, and weaponry is important because I create many of the Ancient Mirrors' names, events and armaments based on them."
"Damselflies" wins on so many levels - This is a book full of interesting characters combined with a thought provoking and absorbing fresh plot. I personally applaud this author for a triumphant piece of literature that will stand the test of time.

Agency says application will advance sustainability by saving resources.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released its evaluation of the two largest beneficial uses of encapsulated coal combustion residuals (CCR or coal ash): for use in concrete as a substitute for portland cement, and the use of flue gas desulfurization gypsum as a substitute for mined gypsum in wallboard.
The EPA says that its evaluation concluded that the beneficial use of encapsulated CCRs in concrete and wallboard is appropriate because they are comparable to virgin materials or below the agency's health and environmental benchmarks. The EPA adds that the two uses account for nearly half of the total amount of coal ash that is beneficially used.
"The protective reuse of coal ash advances sustainability by saving valuable resources, reducing costs and lessening environmental impacts, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions," says Mathy Stanislaus, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response.
In evaluating these two beneficial uses, EPA used its newly developed Methodology for Evaluating Encapsulated Beneficial Uses of Coal Combustion Residuals.
The methodology is intended to assist states and other interested parties with evaluating and making informed determinations about encapsulated beneficial uses of CCRs.
Coal ash is formed when coal is burned in boilers that generate steam for power generation and industrial applications. Slightly more than half of coal ash is disposed of in dry landfills and surface impoundments. The remainder of coal ash is used beneficially, as well as in mining applications.

Chemistry can fun at any age! Remember making rock candy, a baking soda and vinegar volcano, and liquid smoke bombs? We become fascinated with chemistry at an early age. Once it is time to take courses in chemistry it becomes a bit harder and confusing. Learning about the elements and the periodic table are just the beginning. Understanding acids and bases, chemical bonding, atomic structures, and chemical bonding can send most teenagers into a frenzy. Once a student enters college, a frenzy can turn into down right panic. No matter whether the student is taking an introductory chemistry course or an upper level chemistry course, we have the qualified tutors that can help. Here are just some of the courses are tutors have helped students in through the years:
Biochemistry - Topics include: molecular, cellular, and organismal chemical activities. Metabolic pathways and enzymology, biochemical structures and sequences, and genome databases are included.
Chemical Engineering - Chemical engineering basically is applied chemistry. It is the branch of engineering concerned with the design, construction, and operation of machines and plants that perform chemical reactions to solve practical problems or make useful products.
Inorganic Chemistry - Topics include: molecular structure, molecular shape and symmetry, structure of solids, d-metal complexes, oxidation and reduction, and acids and bases.
Organic Chemistry - Focuses on relationships between molecular structure and chemical reactivity, and stresses the development of sophisticated problem-solving skills in the context of organic reaction mechanisms and multi-step synthesis. Homolytic and heterolytic substitution, elimination, oxidation and reduction reactions; topics in stereochemistry and spectroscopy.
Principles of Chemistry I- Topics include: atomic structure; thermochemistry; periodicity, bonding and molecular structure; intermolecular forces; properties of solids; liquids, gases and solutions.
Principle of Chemistry II – Topics include: Thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium; acid/base chemistry; oxidation and reduction; kinetics; spectros-copy; introduction to nuclear, organic, inorganic, and polymer chemistry.
Physical Chemistry I – Topics include: States of matter. Kinetic theory of gases. Transport phenomena. Chemical thermodynamics and its application to chemical systems. Equilibrium. Ionic solutions and electrochemistry. Introduction to chemical kinetics.
Physical Chemistry II – Topics include: chemical kinetics and catalysis. Introductory quantum chemistry. Spectroscopy. Statistical thermodynamics.
When the fascination for basic chemistry turns into a desire to learn more, but the concepts are hard to grasp, it is time to get the help of a professional tutor. Our chemistry tutors can turn panic into passion. All of the chemistry tutors we provide will hold a degree in the area of study the student is learning (biochemistry, organic chemistry, basic chemistry, etc). Most of our tutors hold master's degrees and PhD's. They are ready to help.
We do not believe in students teaching students. When you are in need of a college level professional to help you grasp a difficult subject, you will receive a highly qualified and credentialed tutor from our list of professional college tutors. Every tutor we hire holds a minimum of a bachelor's degree, but most of our college level tutors hold masters and PhD's. We are confident that when we offer you a college level tutor that you will be impressed with their experience as well.
Known as "The World's Greatest City of the Arts and Outdoors," Eugene, OR, was the original home of Nike, which is not surprising with all the lush greenery, river ways, hiking trails, bicycling, and other recreational activities. Also home of the University of Oregon, Eugene places a great importance on education. As such Eugene residents demand the very best in private tutoring. They appreciate the outstanding service they receive when working with our customer service team and our tutors. We provide highly qualified and experienced tutors available in all areas of Eugene from Pleasant Hill to Junction City, and best of all they come directly to you! Our reputation as a premium service in Eugene and surrounding areas is evident in the hundreds of testimonials we have received from parents, students, and schools throughout Oregon.
We believe that one-on-one, personalized, in-home instruction is the most effective way for students to focus on academic improvement and build confidence. We know that finding you the best tutor means more that just sending a qualified teacher into your home. We provide our clients access to the largest selection of highly qualified and fully screened professional tutors in the country. We believe that tutoring is most effective when the academic needs of the student are clearly defined. Our purpose is to help you clarify those needs, set academic goals, and meet those goals as quickly and effectively as possible. Using a tutor should be a positive experience that results in higher achievement and higher self-confidence for every learner.

"i just received my order-
oh,how wonderful...
i never imagined it would be this awesome.
i will definetly be ordering again-
thanks for making christmas special for my hearbroken son.he's going to love the dog tag."
-- Teresa W.
"I am so excited and pleased with the new corrected photo engraved dog tag I received today!! It is absolutely beautiful, crystal clear and vibrant colors.
As I told you when I placed my order, my son is deploying to Iraq in January and requested 'military' items for Christmas. I thought, what would be more appropriate than an engraved dog tag of the two women he loves most; his mother and his brand new wife who is also deploying in January to Kuwait.
When I got the first dog tag, I was disappointed when I found a mistake, but you were wonderfully understanding when I phoned. You informed me to send it back to be re-done, and you turned it back around to me in less than one week. That is exemplary and commendable customer service, especially with the holiday rush.
Feel free to use my comments on your site if you wish, and also the two pictures and how they were merged together to make it appear as though we were together in one photo. I will highly recommend PicturesOnGold.com !!"
-- Barbara C.
"I recently ordered a piece of your Michael Jackson Tribute Jewelry as a birthday gift for my daughter. The service was excellent! It arrived promptly and we were so thrilled with it that we ordered another piece, and that arrived even faster! Both pieces are so cute. Thank you for offering such adorable MJ items!!!!!"
-- Julia
""With pictures on gold there are no risks in buying. Two weeks after mailing my purchased item back, I received a full refund! Thank you for your integrity and commitment to satisfying your customers. I will definately recommend your company to anyone."
--Matt M., IL"
-- Matt M
"I wanted to get a gold charm that represented the dedication and love my son had for being a member of his college's marching band. This was for his 18th birthday. Since his college is a very well known school I thought it would be easy to find that charm. It wasn't I looked all over the internet and called my local jeweler. Couldn't find what I wanted anywhere. I luckily found your website. I called and spoke to Danny. This was to be a "custom" charm. We spoke and he gave me ideas that I never even thought of I was thrilled that finally I was able to get my son the charm I wanted too. I received the charm and it was beautiful, everything I expected and more. We gave my son the charm this weekend when we visited his school for Parent Weekend. He now owns something that no one else does and his fellow band mates/friends have given him numerous compliments. Thank you Danny and the others who helped make my idea a reality It was a pleasure and I would not hesitate to order from your company again."
-- Diane
"I LOVE my new monogramed 14k gold necklace. Danny custom sized the chain perfectly and I was so impressed with the super quick service. He had it mailed to me the same day by UPS and I had it in only a couple of days. Their price was $300.00 less than another place I was considering purchasing from. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND doing business with this company.
Janet G
-- Janet
"This is my first engraved pendant that I have purchased. The pendant has the footprint of my stillborn daughter at 36 weeks and the workmanship is perfect. I received my purchase in about 5 working days after placing the order. The turnaround time is fantastic. Thanks for your service. I will definitely ordering more in the near future, and will tell all my friends about your products. Thanks for the great job done!"
-- Edmund
"Thank you to me in not enough, the pendant is absolutely breath-taking. I will definitely be shopping here again. My father past away almost 2yrs ago this will be a beautiful treasure for my mother. She will for sure love it. Thank you once again."
-- Sharlene
"The customer service from this company is exceptional. I ordered on a Thursday and had the product the next day. The product is beautiful!! I ordered this as a Christmas gift and couldn't be more pleased at the fast service and shipping. I will be ordering again from this company. Even my 11 year old son said, "Wow, grandma is going to LOVE this gift" Thank you!!"
-- Amy
"Thank you for a nice product. My wife loves it!!!"

Despite several snowstorms associated with cold-air outbreaks, average January temperatures across the contiguous United States weren't especially cold according to the latest statistics from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center. Although the average temperature was spot-on freezing—32.0° Fahrenheit—that was still 1.6° Fahrenheit warmer than the twentieth-century January average.
As the whole ocean gets warmer, NOAA scientists must redefine what they consider "average" temperature in the central tropical Pacific, where they keep watch for El Niño and La Niña.
Although 2012 warmth did not top the charts, it was the third warmest "La Niña year" on record.
The average global temperature for November 2012 was the fifth warmest November since record keeping began in 1880.
The November nationally averaged precipitation total of 1.19 inches was nearly an inch below the long-term average, making this the eighth driest November on record.
Few real-world signs of climate change are easier to read than changes in the growing season of familiar vegetation. Most of the high-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere are experiencing longer growing seasons now than they did more than two and half decades ago.
The 2012 Arctic sea ice extent was nearly 50 percent smaller than the long-term (1979-2000) average. For sea ice to have shrunk to half its historic summer extent is as much a transformation of the environment as if half the forests of New England had been replaced by cactus.
On a yearly basis, Arctic temperatures are strongly influenced by natural climate patterns, including the Arctic and North Atlantic Oscillations. Over the span of a decade, though, Arctic amplification of climate change is evident: no part of the Arctic was cooler than the long-term average.
In June 2012, snow cover extent over Eurasia and North America hit a new record low. It is the third time in five years that North America has set a new record low, and the fifth year in a row that Eurasia has. The rate of snow cover loss over Northern Hemisphere land areas in June between 1979 and 2012 is -17.6% per decade—a faster decline than September sea ice loss over the same period.
The summer of 2012 brought Greenland far more extensive melt than anything observed in the satellite record: in July 2012, surface melt extended over nearly the entire ice sheet. The standardized melt index was nearly double the previous record.

"Good small company to work for "

I worked at Patrice Milani Exercise Equipment full-time (more than a year)
For a small business this company offers a solid benefit plan including 401k + matching, company paid health insurance, and a decent amount of vacation time.
Because it is a small company it can be hard to use the vacation time, alot is required of each employee. Management can tend to micro manage each aspect of the business.
My advice would be to not be so hard on its employees, and to use alternate methods to create a positive atmosphere in the workplace.

Dutch Oven Choices
We're looking for a dutch oven for braising etc. What are the pros and cons of stainless (e.g. Allclad) vs cast iron (e.g. LeCreuset)? Also, what guidelines might be appropriate regarding size and shape (round vs oval)?
I haven't used stainless so I can't address it.
I have a few cast iron items, one by Le Creuset and two by its imitators--an enameled Lodge ('Lodge Color')and one by 'Best Equipped Kitchen'. I've also used a Lodge raw cast iron (non-enameled).
The Le Creuset cooks very well and is gorgeous. It is pricey, though, and you have to ask if it's worth the premium over the imitators. I have to say, I've been happy with the performance of the cheapos. Now, will the enamel last as long as LC? Dunno, but since they are about a fourth or a third of the price of the LC, the LC would have to last 3 or 4 times as long as the cheapies to justify the premium, IMHO.
Of course, if you don't mind paying that premium by all means go ahead--LC is a great item.
If you want to try out one for size and applicability, you might want to go by your local Sam's Club; I was at my local one yesterday, and they had a 6 qt round Dutch oven for about $40. And although it had the 'Members Mark' label on it, it sure looked suspiciously like the Lodge Color Enamel. I wouldn't be surprised if they rolled off the same Chinese assembly line. Another source for inexpensive items is TJMaxx; I got my one piece of LC there because it was a second (a slight swirl in the enamel of the lid, doesn't affect the performance a bit).
I have both oval and round; oval is nice when you want to cook a whole bird in it, round is nice as a general stovetop pot--both cook well. Sizewise, bear in mind that these suckers are HEAVY. A 9 qt filled with food will be pretty hefty.
I'd probably go with two pots, one a 2.5 to 4 qt and another in the 6 to 8 qt range.
And if you want to put these through their paces, by all means get a copy of Molly Steven's excellent book 'All About Braising'. Wonderful info.
Here is a link that might be useful: all about braising
"What are the pros and cons of stainless (e.g. Allclad) vs cast iron (e.g. LeCreuset)?"
A true Dutch oven is made from either bare cast iron or enameled cast iron. From Wikipedia:
"A Dutch oven is a thick-walled iron (usually cast iron) cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid."
"Modern Dutch ovens designed for use on the cooktop or in the oven are typically smooth-bottomed. Two French manufacturers of enameled Dutch ovens, Le Creuset and Le Chasseur, refer to their ovens as "French ovens", or in the UK as "casserole dishes". Some older styles, such as the unglazed ovens by Lodge, CampChef, and Wagner, retain the bale handle, while others, such as the enameled versions by Staub, Sante, and le Creuset, have two loop handles."
Stainless steel is not really efficient for true slow-cooking. I would look at TJ Maxx or Marshall's for less expensive Le Creuset, Nomar or Staub. I'd be leery of made in China pieces regarding quality. I have an older Martha Stewart one made in China and it is not wearing well. I'd put my $$ on Le Creuset, Staub or Nomar. they're definitely worth the price and you'll have them until your last breath ;o)
The convection cooking would not really affect cooking in cast iron. One of the main reasons for buying a Dutch oven is for long slow braising or stewing of meats, root vegetables, and foods needing long cooking like dried beans. Convection cooking promotes more even oven temperatures in all areas of the oven, which can provide faster and more even baking of things like cookies. But when cooking long, slow, and low in a cast iron dutch oven you might just be wasting energy to have the convection fan run the entire time.
This is just my thinking - someone else may have a different take.
Another point, a stainless steel pan lid may not keep in moisture during long cooking as well as a cast iron lid. This is why I cook my grains (rice, barley, etc.) in my LC cast iron French oven rather than in my Calphalon saucepan.

Federal judge rules that Chris Kyle's widow can't move Jesse Ventura's defamation case to Dallas
The widow of slain American Sniper Chris Kyle will not get her day in Dallas court after all.
Just before 9 this morning, in a federal courtroom in St. Paul, Minnesota, U.S. District Judge Richard Kyle (no relation) denied her request to move Jesse Ventura's defamation suit against her late husband closer to home. According to a single page just posted to the U.S. District Courts' website, Kyle made his ruling after a 55-minute hearing.
"It was at his discretion, and I'll leave it at that," says John Borger, Taya Kyle's attorney, when asked for his response to the decision.
Ventura, the wrestler-turned-actor-turned-governor, sued Chris Kyle in January 2012 over a brief passage in his autobiography, which mentions a 2006 bar brawl in Coronado, California, with a former Navy SEAL nicknamed "Scruff Face." Kyle wrote that one of his comrades in arms, who'd been injured in Iraq, wanted to meet Scruff, who instead began bad-mouthing then-President George W. Bush and the war, and insisted September 11, 2001, was little more than a conspiracy.
According to the book, Scruff told Kyle, "You deserve to lose a few." At which point, Kyle wrote, Scruff took a swing at him, and Kyle "laid him out." The book never mentions Ventura by name. Only later did Kyle ID the Baja California-living conspiracy theorist as the wrestler once known as The Body. Ventura claims the fight never happened.
In his initial complaint, filed in January 2012, Ventura sued Chris Kyle for defamation, misappropriation of name and likeness, and unjust enrichment. Said the complaint, which you can read below, "Kyle's false and defamatory statements were calculated to bring Governor Ventura into disrepute and to harm Governor Ventura's reputation in the community." Kyle's attorneys tried unsuccessfully to get the case thrown out.
Then, of course, Chris Kyle and and friend Chad Littlefield were shot to death on February 2 of this year at a Rough Creek Lodge and Resort shooting range, about 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth. Eddie Ray Routh was formally charged in July with their murders.
One week before Routh's indictment, a U.S. magistrate judge allowed Ventura to replace Taya Kyle as the defendant in the case. She then attempted to move it closer to her Midlothian home; her attorneys wrote in their motion to transfer the case to Dallas that "she is preparing for the murder trial of her husband's suspected killer, all while attempting to process her own grief (and helping her children process theirs). These formidable challenges likely will endure for some time." Ventura's attorneys insisted that moving the case to Dallas would give Kyle home-field advantage: In Dallas, they wrote, "Chris Kyle is revered as a hero."
The back and forth between Kyle and Ventura continued in the days leading up to today's decision: Her attorneys claimed Ventura "is more concerned about himself than about the feelings of surviving family members and friends of a deceased war hero." Meanwhile, in documents filed one week ago, Ventura's attorneys claimed Kyle refused to answer certain questions during a September 11 deposition taken in Fort Worth.
"Ms. Kyle's transfer motion is …. overtly predicated on a plea for sympathy, including claims that Governor Ventura is seeking through this action to take money she intends to donate to charity and to otherwise cause her and her family economic harm," says a letter to Judge Kyle, signed by attorney David Olsen. "Ms. Kyle's responses to deposition question on those topics — both those she answered and those she did not — are, therefore, directly relevant to her transfer motion."
Ventura's attorneys wanted a continuance so they could further question Kyle. The judge denied that request.
Messages have been left for Ventura's attorneys. We will update if and when they respond. Meanwhile, the trial has been set for May 1, 2014 — if, that is, Taya Kyle is not needed back here for the trial of Eddie Ray Routh, whose court date has not yet been set.
Judge Kyle also made one small change to the case this morning: The case will no longer be styled Governor Jesse Ventura v. Taya Kyle. "The word 'Governor' shall be stricken," says this morning's court document. "The Plaintiff's name in the case caption shall be as follows: Jesse Ventura, an individual, a/k/a/ James G. Janos."

Idaho producers hold mid-year meeting
—New policies on beef for troops set. Members of the Idaho Cattle Association (ICA) met in Jackpot, NV, June 20-22 for the annual Mid Year Conference. Nearly 150 producers were in attendance as members heard the latest updates on policy priorities important to Idaho's cattle industry, and those present set new policy positions in place to guide the association in the coming months. The conference was highlighted by the announcement of an Executive Order by Governor Jim Risch—also a cattle producer and ICA member—that outlines the steps that will be taken by the state to regain the Brucellosis Class Free Status that was lost in January. Those steps include the development of a brucellosis management plan and appointing of a task force that will develop recommendations to manage wildlife and cattle interactions in eastern Idaho. Updates were provided on the efforts of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) by Andy Groseta, NCBA Policy Division Chairman and Cottonwood, AZ, cattle producer and Cevin Jones, NCBA Region 5 Vice President and Eden, ID, cattle feeder. Groseta and Jones provided an update on NCBA's push to permanently repeal the Death Tax, amend the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and exempt manure from regulation as a hazardous substance, among other issues. Conference attendees enjoyed a presentation by Dr. Sam Barringer, a veterinarian with Pfizer. Dr. Barringer has served for over a year in Iraq as a veterinarian and major in the Army Reserves, assisting with animal health, human health, and biosecurity issues. Dr. Barringer offered personal insight into the positive efforts of the U. S. Military to make life better for everyday Iraqis. Ty Groshans of the American Angus Association provided those present with an update on the Angus Source program. Angus Source is a program that provides source verification services to producers that utilize Angus genetics. The Wolf Management Workshop included representatives of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, Governor's Office of Species of Conservation, and USDA-Wildlife Services. Panel speakers outlined the steps that have been taken to facilitate state management of wolves until delisting of wolves in Idaho becomes a reality. Planning efforts are underway for future workshops around the state. New policy positions were also taken by members at the conference, including the decision that ICA will work with Idaho's Congressional Delegation and NCBA to ensure that U.S. troops are supplied with U.S. beef. ICA also took a position on the proposed Central Idaho Economic Development and Recreation Act. Based on existing ICA policy stating concern for the creation of wilderness and of permanent grazing buyouts, while also recognizing the right of individuals to seek solutions that are in their best interest, ICA does not support the passage of this legislation as currently written because it will potentially establish a precedent for grazing permit buyouts and it fails to adequately protect and promote grazing within the SNRA and the proposed Boulder White Clouds Management Area. — WLJ
