Re: 2013 Herb Garden Photo Contest!
For some reason cant upload picture Just keeps giving me the loading image Circle
Edited: Adding my Photo
This years herb garden has done well...I have learned not to let the mint overpower by planting it in containers around the garden instead of in it. And the best thing for the annuals is lots of good organic compost, my basil grows like a hedge. I also added comfry last year and it really helps to keep the garden healthier. Even weeding here is great because of the wonderful smell.
Would not let me upload a pic.
I'd like to enter but my garden is a combination of herb and vegetables. I'm growing the pink sunflowers Burpee's has as well as the new on deck hypbrid corn - will my garden count?
The first photo is of my last year's Herb Spiral - it is in the beginning stages this year! I have Sage, Parsley, Cilantro, Basil, Chamomile, Thyme and many other herbs, flowers in my herb garden. This spiral is located in the NE corner of my veggie garden!
The second photo is what the Spiral looks like so far this year! The sage and chives have returned and are beginning to flower; the amaranth is new this year. Several volunteers are peeking about: ferny dill, cilantro and others. We are really enjoying all the new flavors in our food with the addition of tasty herbs!
Our herb garden at Graeme Park. We grow medicinals such as fox glove, borage, and bee balm; culinary herbs such as chives, sage, and mint; scented geraniums, lambs ear so we can tell the kids who visit us about 18th century toilet paper, and more!
Those having trouble with photos - host the photo somewhere else (Photobucket, etc) and use the picture icon at the top to link to it and size it. Or perhaps try a different browser - the upload photo button didn't work for me either in IE.
how do I post a photo of my garden?
^^^ My garden is posted above - it wouldn't let me type as well as add a picture. My garden is a combination of a vegetable and herb garden. My garden is a container garden and it shows what you can grow in a small space with only containers to work with. It could just as easliy be grown on a balcony as it is grown here. It shows that no matter where you live you can have a nice vegetable and herb garden. I am growing several of Burpees new varieties this year, including your on-deck hybrid corn and pink sunflowers. Both are coming up fine in pots with tomato cages. I have some corn already on the stalks.
As for my herb garden it is a diabetic's herb garden. Some of the herbs I grow are meant to lower blood sugar as well as taste good, so I grow basil, stevia, bitter melon, fenugrek in addition to more common herbs like mint, cilantro, parsley, sage, lavender and oregano. They're not herbs but I also grow edible nasturtium, which is good for inflammation, and garlic and onions. All are said to lower blood sugar. I am able to grow all of them in containers. I'm even growing potatoes in large pots.
These are the herbs I keep by my kitchen door. After doing this a few years I learned that having the most used ones close at hand is the best bet.
This is a view of my garden where I grown many herbs like bee balm, lavender, oreganos, basil, chives ect.
This is a image of the garden roof we put on our chicken coop where we grow herbs like mint. We also grow flowers to attract bees and butterfly's to the vegetable garden.
I plant herbs everywhere in my garden..even in my chicken coop for my hens to enjoy. My favorite is our new garden roof on our chicken coops which holds lots of mint and oregano as well as pretty flowers to attract bees to the garden.
To the left you see a upside down old train table I filled with herbs the hens like, add the water system I built and then wired it in..now when it over grows the hens get a treat and peck away at herbs.
I started this herb garden for my wife this spring of 2013. It has 32 different culinary herbs growing. Because of it, we are having new kinds of and more flavorful breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Shown in the photo is "The Mad Hatter's Herbal Tea Party" that I placed in the center of the herb garden.
My husband built this for me of redwood just outside my kitchen door. convenience means it is used ALL the time- lots of new and wild flavors going on at our house! the pot in the middle is full of strawberries- out of reach of our dog who adores them. I have several perrenials- tarragon, italian parlsey, onion chives, garlic chives, marjoram, oregano, sage, english thyme and lemon thyme and some annual herbs (in my zone) rosemary, garlic, shallots, cinnamon basil, purple basil, plain basil. I am always on the lookout for something new to pop in it.
This is our first herb garden at our new home (with a few transplants from our old place). Small but packed with lots of basil, oregano, rosemary, savory, sage, lavender, lemon verbena, dill, cilantro, chamomile, sage and more!
We used tree rings to make our herb garden. My mathematical husband says it's an ellipse cycloid. I grow orange mint, citrus marigold, sage, lemon verbena, thyme, lemon thyme, lime creeping thyme, chives, garlic chives, bronze fennel, & oregano in it. Even though I've had it for years, it's always a work in progress trying to keep the invasives at bay.
This is my first attempt at a patio herb garden - I am growing boxwood basil, commom sage, purple sage, oregano, rosemary, lemon thyme, flat leaf parsely, and cilantro with a couple of leeks in the center in one large pot. So far, so good!
Here is a picture of my herb garden by my back door & patio. I grow and use all of the herbs in my cooking. I am a avid cook. Also I have nine raised garden beds. I also keep bees and 50 feet from the Herb garden are 2 bee hives in my back yard. Also built into the patio is a fish pond. I live in the middle of the town.
We live in western Maine & love our gardens! Wish we had a longer season....
This is my little helper in my mint. I grow mint in a seperate pot so it doesnt take over. Mint is like an alien plant..or for you VeggieTales fans...like a RumorWeed.

Guys it doesnt matter if scraggy won a quick less than 15sec battle against a Darumakka, it is a win but Scraggy deserves a real and long battle agains a worthy opponent. For example, Leavanny had a great battle, it's ok if she doesnt battle for some time, Oshawott had a decent battle against Hydrigeon, he could use another battle too but not that much as Scraggy. Scraggy could be a great choice agains Cheren along with pignite and oshawott to make it a 3 vs 3 agains Cheren.
Another rule breaker? The Unova saga is on a roll. But do we even know if anyone is battling? I don't see the point in showing Cheren in a battle given that he'll probably use the same Pokemon or strategy as Lenora. We don't need any more basic Pokemon clogging up what could potentially be a good episode tbh.

No kidding.
Cilan - Leaves for a year.
Chili - Randomly visits a town near Driftveil.
Burgh - Leaves to Pinwheel Forest.
Clay - Refuses to battle until Ash runs his errands.
Skyla - Can't even battle properly.
Drayden - MIA.
Roxie - Leaves on tour and recently returned.
Calling it right now...
The Zangoose on the February Calendar is Cheren's and will debut if him and Ash battle.
Why? Because Golbat and Seviper most likely belong to the Plasma Grunts like they do in games, the Mienshao, Beartic, and Scolipede are the ones from Colress's episode, and Ampharos and Mareep are most likely going to appear in a filler taking place in Flocessy Ranch.
It was posted on Pocketmonsters.net
Golbat: team Plasma
Beartic: team Plasma
Mienshao: Team Plasma
Scolipede: Team plasma
Zangoose; team Plasma
Ampharos: COTD/TP
Mareep: COTD
Dunno there is Seviper there, so they migth do a Zangoose vs Seviper thing but yeah hopefully it belongs to him and Seviper is just Musashi Seviper.
So we will get a Mareep/Ampharos appearance also, the others we already know where they appear.
Still sticking with Dent helping Cheren learn the ropes of being a Gym leader and IF someone battles him it will be either him or Satoshi(I don't see a battle with a main character happening actually)
Iris just battled Drayden awhile ago.
Ash finished his league already, finished his gym badge collection quest.
So right now, I think the two that might fight Cheren would be Dent or the rookie girl... Or maybe... Bianca!!!!!! <:
As for the calendar, Zangoose might be Cherens second Pokemon. The other stuff like Beartic are Corless experiments. As for the Mareep and Amphy, Floccsey Ranch!!!
Off topic, but does anyone find it weird that they gave Ampharos a cameo in the Axew gets lost episode when it's gonna be introduced a few episodes later? I hope Bianca gets Amphy or something D:
Those Unova Gym Leaders are shameless.
Anyway, I don't know why some people are assuming that Cheren will need help from another Gym Leader. The guy may be a new at his job, but I don't think this will be one of those episodes where we see how a new Gym Leader runs their Gym; we already got one of those in AG and to be quite honest, it was dreadful. We don't need a repeat of that imo.
It would be hilarious if no one even mentions it.
I think the Seviper could most probably belong to that Female TR Grunt from the preview. Thats because the same character appears in the B2W2 promotion video and had a Seviper in it.
As for Mareep and Ampharos, i think there is a possibility that they would simple be just some random wild pokemons.
Edit: I haven't checked a lot recently, so can any tell me if there had been any preview for this and the next episode (like the one we got for BWS2EN 01 & 02).

Get the Best Priced Third Brake Light Parts

- Lowest Prices
Replacement Third Brake Light Information
Choose from top brands including: Dorman, Replacement, Genuine, Anzo, Putco, Action Crash, ULO, Standard Motor Products, Rugged Ridge and Rampage.
Brake lights are a very important part to any vehicle that is traveling on the road. Brake lights allow the people driving behind you to know when you are slowing down, when you have stopped, etc. With that said, brake lights are highly imperative especially when it comes to the safety of you and other drivers on the road. Apart from the two standard brake lights on the back of a vehicle, some vehicles have a third brake light that is located in the middle, but at the top of the vehicle. This third brake light can be in the middle of the top of the cab on a truck or possibly in the middle of the top of the back window glass on the back of a SUV, and on a car, the third brake light is normally located in the same position as a SUV. On some vehicles, the third brake light may be found in the middle of the back of the trunk. Aftermarket third brake lights can be purchased for your vehicle for a higher class style or for simply added security. For example, LED third brake lights are becoming very popular in the aftermarket class of brake lights. LED lights are brighter than normal lights allowing for individuals to see the LED third brake light a lot easier and better than a standard one increasing the overall safety of all drivers on the road. In addition, nowadays, you can even purchase a third brake light that also has the turn signals built in. This is convenient if you are carrying a trailer behind your vehicle and your standard brake lights are hidden - the third brake light will allow for other drivers on the road to see when you have hit your brakes as well as when you have a turn signal on.
Adding a Dorma Third Brake Light to your car or truck is easy, cheap and a good safety addition even if you don't usually work on your car.
Your car's Replacement Third Brake Light is a centered brake light that is mounted higher than your vehicle's usual brake lights where it can be seen clearly when you are about to slow down.
The vehicle's Standard Third Brake Light is an extra brake light that is put in the back window to let drivers behind you know that you are about to stop.
Your ULO Third Brake Light is a red-colored light that is generally equipped in the back of your vehicle and signals to other drivers as you press the brake.

Hello. My name is Ian Campbell, and in this video we show you
how to convert a scanned document into a PDF file in Acrobat 10.
Now if you've not scanned your document yet but do have a scanner connected
to your computer, you can scan a document directly to PDF from within Acrobat.
Simply click on the Create button, and the PDF Scanner option,
then choose a preset which matches the type of original,
for example, Black and White Document or Color Image.
If you have a mix of color and monochrome originals,
you can opt for the new Autodetect Color mode.
Now if you've already scanned your documents
and saved them as a file on disk, Acrobat 10 makes it easy
to convert them to compact and efficient PDF files.
PDFs created by Acrobat can be opened and viewed worldwide
by anyone with the free Adobe Reader on Mac, Windows, Linux, and even mobile devices.
To convert your image file to PDF, simply choose Create PDF
from this Flash screen or, alternatively, Create and then Create PDF from File,
from the top left button.
Acrobat will initially show files which correspond to the file formats
supported for conversion. To list files from one specific format,
for example, TIF, click on the down arrow next to Files of Type
and choose that format from the drop-down list.
Why don't we use to convert the TIF file NDA Scan 1,
which is 169K.
As you can see, it's a legal document, and I can now save the
newly created PDF file to disk. If I choose File Properties,
we can see that this document is now a much more efficient 61K,
approaching a third of the original size of the TIF file yet still good quality.
Now if you're experienced in document scanning and wish to fine-tune
conversion setting, you can easily do so in Acrobat 10.
Here is a TIF scan of a complex magazine page
containing color images.
Click on the Settings button to see more conversion options.
Now as in previous versions of Acrobat,
you can control image compression and color management,
but in Acrobat 10, we now have a new option which is particularly useful
for TIF images--scan optimization and OCR.
Apply Adaptive Compression allows Acrobat to
automatically use the best compression method for each area of the page.
Here we can choose various filters to help improve the final image quality.
And, finally, we can use Acrobat to make text within the scanned image fully searchable.
Now the original size of this magazine page was over 13 megabytes.
Thanks to Acrobat 10's advanced image conversion and optimization features,
we now have a fully searchable PDF that's just 85K in size.

The 2014-15 season
John Cranko Schule
John Cranko
Company founder and choreographer (1961 – 1973)
John Cranko was born on August 15, 1927 in Rustenburg, South Africa. He received his dance education mainly at the University of Cape Town, where he also choreographed his first ballet to Stravinsky's Suite from The Soldier's Tale. In 1946, he continued his studies at the Sadler's Wells School in London and shortly afterwards became a member of the Sadler's Wells Ballet (subsequently The Royal Ballet).
In 1947, Cranko made a sensational choreography to Debussy's
Children's Corner
for the Sadler's Wells Ballet; from 1949 on he devoted himself exclusively to choreography, producing extremely successful ballets - mostly for the Sadler's Wells Ballet. In 1955, he choreographed
La Belle Hélène
for the Paris Opera Ballet and in 1957 he created his first full-length ballett,
The Prince of the Pagodas
, for The Royal Ballet.
In 1961, John Cranko was appointed ballet director in Stuttgart by Walter Erich Schaefer, the General Director of the Wuerttemberg State Theatre (today's Stuttgart State Theater). At the beginning of his time in Stuttgart, Cranko created short ballets and gathered together a group of dancers, among whom were Egon Madsen, Richard Cragun, Birgit Keil and, most importantly, a young Brazilian dancer named Marcia Haydée who was to become his prime muse and inspiration. The breakthrough for Cranko came in December 1962 with the world premiere of
Romeo and Juliet
, which was highly praised by critics and audience alike. In Stuttgart, Cranko created many small choreographic jewels such as
Jeu de cartes
Opus I
, as well as his symphonic ballet
Initials R.B.M.E.
, but it was with his dramatic story ballets such as
The Taming of the Shrew
Poéme de l'Extase
that Cranko secured his place in the pantheon of great choreographers. In addition, he encouraged young dancers in his company - including Jiri Kylian and John Neumeier - to try their hand at choreography.
Cranko's gift for nuanced story-telling, clear dramatic structure and his exquisite mastery of the art of the pas de deux conquered New York audiences during a triumphant season at the Metropolitan Opera in 1969. World wide acclaim soon followed, as Cranko and his young company toured the globe.
John Cranko died unexpectedly at age 45 on June 26, 1973, on a return flight from a successful U.S.A. tour.

Devinci Wooky SL Carbon 29er Mountain Bike - 2013
A bike like the Devinci Wooky SL doesn't happen overnight. It involves countless hours of research, design, testing and finally, execution.For many, Devinci is a new brand in cycling. However, Devinci has been designing ground breaking bikes from their research and development division, inspired by the automotive and aerospace industries, for over twenty five years. Their engineers use state-of-the-art modeling and analysis software to submit new bikes to virtual testing. No Devinci bike will see the light of day until it passes this scientific rigor. If the bike is competent enough to make it to a production sample, it is then face to face with what Devinci calls, "the test bench". The test bench allows them to quantify their bikes smash-resistance, solidity, and rigidity. If it fails -- it will never say Devinci.
The Devinci Wooky SL is their premium superlight cross country 29er hardtail bike. It features superlight and stiff DMC-G carbon frame with full response geometry and a tapered 1 1/4" headtube. Devinci Carbon Monocoque technology uses multidirectional layers of carbon fiber that are superimposed in a specific pattern. They also use Nano Powder, which is way of reinforcing the resin with microscopic carbon tubes. FRG, or full response geometry, puts riders in the best possible XC position. It gives every ride a quick and aggressive behavior at lower speeds and maintains unparalleled stability at higher speeds. Additionally, low standover height gives the Wooky SL a nimble feel.
The Wooky carbon frame is designed with a PF30 bottom bracket shell. Press-Fit 30 is a new design led by SRAM. Essentially, it's all of the best from BB30 and Press-Fit bottom brackets in one captivating package. The key difference with Press-Fit 30 is how the bearings are fitted into the frame. Bearings are housed in nylon cups and are pressed into the Wooky frames bottom bracket shell. It features an integrated seal, pre-assembled into the cups, to further prolong bearing life. The advantage is huge weight savings, a narrow Q-factor, more ankle clearance, greater bearing durability, as well as stiffer and stronger crank construction. If that weren't enough, this also allows for larger diameter frame tubes, which increases the Wooky's overall frame stiffness.
Fox is widely recognized as a leader in fork design and performance. The Wooky SL features the all-new Fox Float 32 CTD FIT 29 fork with a gorgeous Kashima coating. While the name is a convoluted mouthful, the design couldn't have been made easier for any rider to use. Forks in general have become over-complicated to tune. Lockout, rebound, preload, both high speed and low speed compression -- it can be overwhelming. The new CTD design (Climb, Trail, Descend) utilizes one lever to quickly switch the compression to the ideal setting. The Climb setting adds low-speed compression to diminish bobbing when standing on the pedals. Trail mode presents moderate low speed compression to balance efficiency and the Descend setting features the ideal blend of high and low speed compression for plush action on steep and aggressive sections of trail.
Incredibly light and efficient components decorate the Wooky SL for the same reason why you'd put a race car engine in a race car: it just makes sense. A Shimano XT drive train supplies all of the lightening fast shifting and braking accuracy you need. The BR-M785 brakes in particular stand out here and have a 125% power rating and 22mm over-sized ceramic pistons, which reduce vibration and increase stopping power.
The wheels on the Wooky go round and round. Easton EA70 XCT wheels are widely spec'd by many bike brands for their compromise between durability and lightweight performance. While many wheels aspire to provide this balance, they often exceed 2000 grams in weight. Not the EA70 XCT. They weigh only 1745 grams. This UST compatible wheel set features welded Easton aluminum rims, butted spokes, a generous 19-millimeter internal rim width for the highly lauded Maxxis Crossmark 2.1 tires, and sealed cartridge bearings. Finally, the thru-axle 15x100 front and 12x142 rear wheel supply incredible stiffness for maximum power transfer, resulting in a bike that tracks in and out of tight single track corners like it's shot out of a cannon.
It's not your average amazing cross country bike. It's an amazing-amazing cross country bike built around incredible design, proven testing, and with unbelievable forethought into the right component spec for your task at hand. The 2013 Devinci Wooky SL is superb.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Add a Baby Ruth...
It's probably OK, as long as they have a floatation device on that holds them 6 feet out of the water at all times! ;^)
Well, if they've been taught to swim and actually know how to, I don't see a problem. but before then... yeah... only swim with an adult in arms reach.
There are plenty of circumstances with this one, but for a pool setting, yeah, would rather have an adult, at the very least, nearby, within earshot and not being bothered by something like loud music.
Depends on the age of the kids. My kid is 3. No matter how strong of a swimmer she is, until she is older she will NOT be swimming alone.
Of course there should be an adult right there. How else could you enjoy watching them escape from the bag?
When they're teenagers, no problem. When they're 8-12, they don't need to be watch very much as long as they're decent swimmers or can yell good. 7 and younger needs closer supervision.
One panicked swimmer can drown several other people before you even know what happened. I was a lifeguard and swim instructor for 16 years. I was very lucky only to have had to do three rescues and one of them tried to take me down too. It was a child and thanks to my training we both survived. No one should ever ever ever swim by themselves. Kids or adults.

In January, a new Congress will meet and President Obama will be sworn into a second term. What will they fight over? Storified by Digital First Media· Fri, Dec 28 2012 11:47:32 In January, a new Congress will meet and President Barack Obama will be sworn in for a second term. What issues will they fight over in 2013? Here's a look at five, in the order they'll likely come up. Filibuster reform Washingtonpost A chart from the Washington Post shows the rise in the use of the filibuster in recent years. Why it will be an issue: The use of the filibuster has skyrocketed in recent years, changing from a tool used by the minority on hot-button issues to a routine delaying tactic. Some newer Democratic senators, such as Jeff Merkley of Oregon, have proposed changes, and they'll be aided by a crop of new senators who explicitly ran on the issue. Most importantly, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., now supports filibuster reform too. Some Republicans hope for a compromise proposal that wouldn't limit filibusters as much as Merkley's proposal. What the public thinks: A survey by Democratic polling firm Public Policy Polling found broad support for changes to the filibuster. A poll by the Huffington Post and YouGov found 65 percent support for requiring senators to be physically present in order to filibuster but only 34 percent support for switching to simple majority votes all the time, with 32 percent opposed and 34 percent unsure. What will happen: The Senate's Democratic majority will make some changes to the filibuster, but it's unclear yet whether they will be broad-ranging or more limited. The most likely change will be to require the so-called "talking filibuster," but this may have unintended consequences on how the Senate operates, sparking yet another debate over the rules down the road. Cabinet posts Denverpost Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., speaks to reporters before the second presidential debate in 2012. (AP Photo/Mary Altaffer) Why it will be an issue: Republicans already successfully torpedoed the potential nomination of Susan Rice as secretary of state, though replacement nominee Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., should sail through confirmation. Obama's rumored choice for secretary of defense, former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel, has run into problems, and Republicans also see an opening at the Environmental Protection Agency as a chance to bring up arguments about environmental regulation. What the public thinks: There's no reliable polling on Cabinet picks, but a 2008 poll showed that most Americans approved of Obama's choices then. What will happen: As a potential Republican appointee to a Democratic administration, Hagel has few defenders and will probably not be nominated. So far, Obama has not shown much appetite for fighting over Cabinet picks, preferring to save his fire for larger policy arguments, so his eventual nominees for the Defense Department and the EPA will likely be uncontroversial. Gun control Denverpost Why it will be an issue: The shootings at a Connecticut elementary school have restarted the debate over gun control. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has pledged to introduce a ban on assault weapons on the first day of the new Congress, while Vice President Joe Biden is leading a task force on gun violence. Obama has said he will talk about the issue in his annual State of the Union address early in the year. Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Mark Warner of Virginia, two gun rights backers, have said its time to consider some new laws. What the public thinks: A USA Today/Gallup poll found that 58 percent support stricter gun laws, a huge increase over past polls, but 51 percent were against a new assault weapons ban. A Pew Research Center survey found opinions on the issue sharply divided along party lines as well as demographics. Meantime, a Gallup poll found that the National Rifle Association, which opposes new laws, enjoys a 54 percent favorability rating. What will happen: Gun control measures will get farther than they have in years and may even pass the Senate. But it will be a much tougher fight in the House, where a key Republican has already said he would not support new gun control proposals. Past mass shootings have not immediately led to new laws, so next year is likely the beginning of a drawn-out fight. Immigration Denverpost Supporters of the DREAM Act wait to be arrested while performing an act of civil disobedience at a rally for immigration reform outside the White House in 2011. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) Why it will be an issue: Obama broke a campaign promise to introduce a comprehensive immigration bill his first year in office. After receiving a resounding 71 percent support from Hispanics in his re-election effort, the president is gearing up for a major reform effort next year. Some key conservatives, concerned about rebooting the Republican Party's image among the fast-growing minority group, are open to immigration reform. What the public thinks: A Politico/George Washington University Battleground survey found that 62 percent of registered voters support allowing illegal immigrants to earn citizenship over a number of years. An ABC News/Washington Post poll found 57 percent support for giving illegal immigrants some sort of legal status if they paid a fine and met other requirements. What will happen: Remember the fight over the health care bill? Once again, Democrats are pushing for a comprehensive bill, while Republicans such as Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida have called for a piecemeal approach. The issue will likely split Republicans along regional lines, with border-state politicians favoring reform, as well as on philosophical ones, with conservative activists opposing a deal. Voting Denverpost South Floridians stand in line during the last day of early voting in Miami in 2012. (AP Photo/Alan Diaz) Why it will be an issue: Voters in several battleground states faced long lines, malfunctioning machines and restrictive new laws. Though these Election Day frustrations have been encountered before, Democrats have responded more vigorously this time. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., has already proposed a bill that would set a national goal of a one-hour maximum wait time at polling places, while Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., has already held a hearing on voting rights. What the public thinks: A Pew Research Center poll found 73 percent of voters think the voting process in their area was handled very well, but the biggest complaints were about lines. Thirty-eight percent reported having to wait to vote on Election Day, about half of whom said the wait was less than 30 minutes. What will happen: Congressional Democrats will continue to push for improvements to the voting process, but much of the action will remain at the state level. Wild card: Supreme Court Denverpost Supreme Court justices pose for an official portrait in 2010. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais) What might happen: A vacancy on the Supreme Court. Liberal justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Stephen Breyer could choose to retire, or any of the four justices in their 70s could face health problems. If Obama appoints a replacement for Ginsburg or Breyer, a routine confirmation fight would be in order, but a vacancy in conservative justices Antonin Scalia or Anthony Kennedy's seats would spark a knockdown fight over the future of the court.

Global warming is a hoax and has evolved into a tax scheme where the government will use utilities as an extention of the IRS. This has absolutely nothing to do with the environment but has everything to do with control and manipulation of an uninformed naive population. This is a flat-out lie. This government has debased the currency and run up unsustainable debts so it is now looking for any way to confiscate individuals property and money. It is no more complicated than that.
Any state that generates power by other than wind,solar or geo thermal or neuclar is going to see their power bill go througt the roof !!! 500.00 a month + power bills for a small house won't be unheard of when they get done. We may be green because the fat cats will be really rich with all that money from the government grants putting all that hot gas under ground !!1
There is no fear mongering here…..CAP & TRADE will impact an already fatigued economy in a devastating way..in the midwest they will be hit the hardest because of the age of their power plants..in the West where nucleur power is available the household expense will be closer to $800.00 annually…Have you seen the GE ads running every two minutes..they are gearing up to get rich from this and OBAMA has appointed Daschel to GE and is quite chummy with the CEO who by the way owns the Biased media stations…..Will cost America plenty and as far as global warming will not make a hill of beans difference..this is all about GREED and lining special interest Groups and lobbyist pockets…but Pelosi has also bought stock in windmills as well…..CORRUPTION
I also heard they are going to charge dairy farmers $175.00 per Cow because they pass gas "methane gas? from eating grass and it hurts the environment..there goes the price on milk and dairy products..the insanity going on in this administration is beyond belief..we are headed toward a wall going 150 miles per hour …will we survive??? I doubt it…they do not want to rebuild our nation ..they want to remake into something we do not recognize and do not want…..WE WANT AMERICA BACK
Stop passing along completely false rumours, and twisting the ear of America! Just because you "heard" it doesnt make it true. Small family farmers who support local economies are not to blame for the excess production of methane gas, it's the big industries who breed billions of animals in filth, store their methane leeching waste improperly contaminating our water supply with things like E-coli and salmonella, and poison cows with antibiotics, which reduces our effective resistance to diseases like swine flu.
Your right we are headed for a wall, called Global Warming, and thanks to previous inaction on the part of the Congress, we Are headed for it at 150 miles an hour, but we can stop.. Renewable energy will rebuild our nation, into something we want, and something we will recognize; successful, independent and a genuine world leader. -
It's a FACT that the EPA is wanting to classify water vapor (like off of dams and hydro-electric generators) as a taxable polluting money maker too. There goes even higher energy costs. How much more asinine can this BS get? I have a feeling if the public is pushed much more it isn't going to be a pretty sight. I haven't read anything about cattle yet but nothing would surprise me with these greedy bastards running around out of control. Basically that sums up exactly what has happened to our country, greed and bastards. I would love to see some of these greedy POS's removed from office, preferably out of the country but I'll take what is within reason. You know if they taxed the damn illegal immigrants (Mexican population) for methane they could cut the deficit in half eh?
there's got to be an agreeable solution we all need without being such ridiculously and extreme limits, Or penalties.
The reasonable solution is to get the government OUT of the energy sector. Oil, coal, hydro, nuclear are by FAR the most efficient forms of energy production and these meddling idiots have been systematically dismantling our ability to FUNCTION as a people and a country.The global warming hoax is an income transfer program and a way for the bankrupt federal government to increase it's control and tax revenue.This has absolutely nothing to do with the environment.

As an Independent / Libertarian, wait until 2010 and we'll see what party rises to the top. You had one statement right, "sustainable living is the new order of the day." Perhaps you should have said, "new world order". American's will soon take back our Country from those who seek to destroy it and create the "new world order". Not by violent means, rather by throwing the Liberals/Progressives to the curb and all their country killing philosophies. Perhaps if you, CommonSense, had any, you would be more than a sheep being lead by wayward shepherds to the slaughter!
Do you know how much money the government(Bush and past) have paid in subsidies to keep the oil, coal, and nuclear industries alive? Hundreds of billions of U.S. Tax payer money. By the way Nuclear has 3 percent effiency and if we ever had a nuclear accident in the U.S. it would cost us over 400 billion dollars to clean it up, what a waste of money. The coal industry is cutting jobs faster than their cutting mountaintops off, we don't need that. And the oil industry will continue to raise and lower prices as it sees fit to keep Americans hooked on Gas until there is none left. The government is Bankrupt because of these industries and the wars, the coal and oil industries would rather see us hooked on China's life support system than let us walk freely. We don't need coal, oil, hydro or nuclear what we need is wind, solar, waste biodiesel, geothermal and ocean current systems to inject new life into our economy, to make America the world leader we were born to be!
Extreme is the trillions of dollars in subsidies paid to polluting industries, and the hundreds of billions required to clean up a nuclear accident. Take away the subsidies and we have way more than enough to successfully pay for this bill.

exactly right you can't keep doing the same thing hoping for a differnet outcome. screw the arabs and all the other oil producers we have to our own energy supplies. not the same ol thing filling the oil companies pockets. build a wind mill, buy a plug in car, use mass transist, do something, make a difference. we don't want all those old jobs back, we want new 21st century ones that haven't been invented yet.
I agree, but I think the 21st century ones have already been invented.
Coal is cheaper in the US because of its massive supply. Oil would be much cheaper if we allowed companies to actually drill our reserves. And we would have very few fossil fuel plants in the country if people would stop freaking out about having a nuclear plant in their area.
Side note: burning coal produces no radiation. Coal is not radioactive.
It is my understanding that one of Alaska's largest reserves can be drilled without significant environmental impact. One would only need to drill within a short distance of where the oil pipeline runs. The reserve itself is a huge reserve spanning hundreds of square miles, but the edge of it runs close to the pipeline.
With adequate restrictions to ensure that by some loophole drilling doesn't occur on a large scale over the entire reserve, I think permissible sites can be found nearest to the pipeline that mark a nice compromise.
Coal burning is the number one cause of alarming worldwide rise in mercury pollution of fish. Burning coal is a leading cause of smog, acid rain, global warming, and air toxics. Burning fossil fuels causes air pollution & accumulation of toxic wastes. Mother nature buried coal & oil for a reason-they are the fuels from hell. Wind & Solar energy is abundant and free from pollution and deadly toxins-they are the fuels from heaven.
Commom Sense, you sure don't seem to have any and your name-calling is the hallmark of liberal bias. Get a clue; people are onto ObamaNation and are no longer buying into it's false ideals. Create a crisis, then rush to install the solution only you can provide. Lousy, sloppy, strategy! And cpnpa, we are nowhere near China's levels of polution and we've had much more industry for many more years as a developed nation. Suck a tale pipe: no one said exhaust was good; but we need proven alternatives first, the good ole' American free enterprise way; then after the private sector spends the money & develops new products we'll all rush out to get them, NOT BEFORE you prove you can do it better (think mouse trap)
This is way out of control.
It seems to me that the only people that support this bill, dont have a whole lot to say other then something bashing the GOP. The people who only look at party affiliation are the problem with this country, they vote for reps. and then the reps. vote for bills according to the way their party wants them too. Last time I checked we were all AMERICANS and should have the best interests of AMERICA in mind regardless of party affiliation. If we dont get back to being strictly AMERICANs this country is done for! P.S. Cap and Trade is just another way to tax the AMERICAN people, it may create green jobs, but the amount of jobs being "created" wont outnumber the amount of jobs lost due to the larger expense of cap and trade. Opportunity costs people, opportunity costs!! Basic economics.
While the points made both pro and con are interesting reading we need to remember that although it would probably create some new jobs there is also a down side to all of this.
While this may or may not create new jobs that is to create an increase in the over all number of jobs after taking into account the jobs (and it will cost jobs) that it causes us to lose do to the increased operating cost. Which will be caused in part by the new an increased Federal Taxes and regulations?
Then we have to look at the increases that we will see at the gas pump and let's not forget the utility cost which will certainly go up for all of us.
Over all I will have to say we will loose if this bill is made into law.There are no jobs and i'm to old to start over , with no car , so what the heck ! Unemployment is alot more than you are telling us . You are not counting the people that could not draw employment checks ! Small towns are hit the worst . I guess we will have to set up tents ! Get a bow and arrows so we can hunt for food and go back to the dark ages .
No jobs? I'm sitting here in a small town, looking through Friday's paper for something my brother-in-law could do if he relocates down here, and (between the "make money from home" and "fast paced sales opportunity" scams) I see at least five jobs available that only require a HS diploma if even that. Since my company never bothers to put openings in the paper, I know there are more, too.
Does anyone out there actually belive the "polluters" are going to pay for this without the cost being passed on to the consumer? Is anyone really that nieve?
I personally believe that our businesses (GE) are pushing this and our lapdog politicians are capitalizing and trying with this tax to benefit from it also.
I also believe nowhere in the constitution does it state our Govt. is in the private or should outwardly support the private sector in a business.
Great point. Lost in all the arguments of whether this is a good idea or not is whether congress even has the authority to do it. Unfortunately that doesn't matter any more. It doesn't win votes to use the constitution. It works much better to pamper everyone and tell us what we can and can't do. Eventually they will tell us who we can and can't vote for.

For those not already familiar with J. Craig Venter, I added links in bold to the article excerpt below that highlight more of his history. I'll give you a spoiler…he was a huge part of that wonderfully successful BP Oil Spill 'clean-up'…he created an e-coli based bacteria that eats iron and it was dumped…or was it sprayed?…all across the Gulf of Mexico….*shudders* It eats iron…how much iron is in the human body..?
Monsanto + Craig Venter…the Ultimate Match Made in Heaven…er, HELL…
UT San Diego – "Monsanto Corp. has acquired part of a La Jolla agricultural biotech in a deal that gives the St. Louis food giant a presence in San Diego for the first time.
Monsanto purchased crop-boosting microbial technology from Agradis, a spinoff of Synthetic Genomics, the companies said Wednesday. Monsanto also made an equity investment in Synthetic Genomics and signed a research agreement with the company. Terms were not disclosed.
The acquisition gives Monsanto access to some of the newest and most sophisticated technologies for improving crop yields and preventing loss from disease. And while genetic technology is fundamental, it's mostly being used to find naturally occurring beneficial microbes.
Synthetic Genomics was founded in 2005 by gene pioneer J. Craig Venter to solve energy and environmental challenges. As part of the acquisition, seven Agradis employees researching helpful microbes were hired by Monsanto, said Joe Mahler, Synthetic Genomics' chief financial officer…
…Synthetic Genomics and Plenus are forming a new company with the parts of Agradis not purchased by Monsanto, Mahler said.
The company, AgraCast, controls breeding and genetic improvement technologies for castor and sweet sorghum, along with an antifungal product for fruits and vegetables. Employees with the new company will move out of the Agradis office to a new one nearby, Mahler said.

"I'm breaking trail!"
Fido was exuberant. Elated. Jubilant.
"Look at ME! I am almost beyond words!"
"That'll be the day, Fido. There hasn't been a moment when you were without words. Even in your sleep, you're one big, red chatterbox."
"Let's go over here," he said, plowing through the snow. "No, let's go over here!"
"Reorge?!?" Fido called, obviously in a state of high consternation.
"Here I am!" I said, padding in from the hallway. "What the heck is going on?"
"There is something here that you should see, and I don't think it is a good thing at all."
I looked about, here and there, up and down, side to side.
"Fido, I don't really see much out of the ordinary here, really."
"Then what is that THING?" Fido wanted to know.
"Hey who turned out the lights?" Fido demanded.
"Fido, the lights are on. Nobody has turned them off."
"No, I mean outside. I get up in the morning and it's dark on our morning walk. When we get home, it's dark again."
"It's just the season, Fido."
"I don't like it."
'Campo Mammoth' replaces Hyde
Mammoth Mountain Ski Area has done it again: opened up a new restaurant and upped the ante for a pleasant dining experience.
This time we welcome Campo Mammoth at the Village in the space formerly occupied by Hyde. It opens today (Friday), just in time for the holiday rush.
It's been a month since Opening Day and so far, the season has certainly packed a punch.
If you were in town the few weeks prior to Opening Day, you witnessed how the pace changes to a very excited, almost frantic behavior from all the local workers and business owners.
There is nothing in a ski town quite like Opening Day, and this one had lots of expectations behind it (especially after last winter). Allow me to recap.
Main Lodge opener
As soon as the Thanksgiving leftovers have been put away, a parade of Christmastime entertainment steps into center stage.
Twirling the golden baton are the holiday-themed movies more heartwarming than hot cocoa, and Christmas carols endlessly streaming on the radio. Oh, and that's just the beginning!
A majority of yuletide stories are based on Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." The protagonist doesn't believe in the Christmas spirit until he is confronted with his own cynicism, and has to inspire Christmas joy in others.
"What the heck are we DOING?" Fido asked.
"Just sit still, you big red lug, this won't take much more than a minute."
"I'm not liking this."
We were an hour away from our appointment with a photographer and some other dogs to make an image for a Christmas card. The idea was simple enough. The execution was going to be another thing altogether.
"A new cummerbund and bow tie!" Fido yowled. "That can mean only one thing! Hey hey hey hey! It's party season!"
Fido pawed the flat box in delight. He tossed the green and red ribbon into the air.
"It's my favorite-favorite-favorite time of the season!"
"I know, Old Boy," I said. "I take it you're all set for some holiday cheer, and now you have a brand new set-up for your black tie events."
"These are just the right color," he muttered. "How did you know?"
"It was just last week, Fido. You remember Bark Friday, don't you?"
"But there was so much going on!"
"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!"
Fido buried his nose under the couch. He would have scrunched all the way under, but biscuits have taken their toll. Even if he were slender, he wouldn't fit.
"THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!" he yelped, and dug his nose deeper under the couch. I noticed he was shaking, too.
"Fido, just what in the world are you doing?"
"Are you deaf, man?" Fido wanted to know.
"I didn't hear anything unusual, Old Boy, except for the sweet sound of avalanche control on The Mountain. Right on time. Must be 6:30 a.m.."
"You call that sweet? Have you been watching the news?"
It is universally acknowledged that getting an elementary school kid to sit still for 35 minutes is nearly impossible—unless you have a special kind of magical comedy.
I think most people remember their first exposure to theatre. You spent most of your days in the sunlight, until one day you and your buddy get off the bus and walk into a dark room with a brightly lit stage on the far end. I was always too short to see over the person in front of me, and would struggle to balance, sitting cross-legged in the theater seat, until the lights were all dimmed.

Surface Computing: Microsoft takes touch screens to the next level
Article Summary
May 31, 2007 More than four decades since the conception of the mouse, computer input devices are only just beginning to tap the promise of truly interactive technology which facilitates a two-way conversation between machine and user rather than simply reacting to a limited set of command parameters. This search for a more intuitive and efficient mode of input is now well underway with Microsoft's ground-breaking foray into the new category of Surface Computing. The Surface is a 30-inch "coffee table" display that not only enables direct interaction with digital content, but also responds to natural gestures and physical objects.

Editorial: Discouraging Scheduled Deliveries
The evidence has been in for some time. Scheduling births may be convenient for physicians, hospitals and expectant parents, but it generally isn't good for the health of mothers and children. It's expensive to boot.
To get a baby to arrive on schedule, doctors often perform a cesarean section, the most common surgery in the United States. Since 1996, C-section rates have risen every year to 33 percent of all births in 2009. According to the World Health Organization, the right figure for any country is about 15 percent. The desire to deliver by appointment also prompts doctors to induce labor, for instance by injecting mothers with a hormone or breaking the amniotic sac. Induction rates have doubled over two decades to 23 percent in 2009.
These procedures are sometimes medically necessary — a cesarean, for instance, when the baby is in the breech position, or induction when the baby is more than two weeks overdue. Their elective use, however, has contributed to babies being born too early. From 1990 to 2009, the percentage of U.S. babies delivered at 37 to 38 weeks increased from 19 percent to 27 percent. These newborns aren't technically premature, but a growing body of research shows they are vulnerable. According to a study published last year, children born at 37 weeks are twice as likely to die in their first year as those born at 40 weeks. They have significantly more health problems as well.
These complications tax the health system. Weak newborns often wind up in neonatal intensive care units, which can cost $2,500 a day. Even when all goes well, a cesarean section, because it is surgery, costs 60 percent more than a vaginal delivery, averaging $24,300 versus $15,200.
As hospitals and insurers struggle to contain expenses, a confluence of interests emerges. By reducing elective birth interventions, providers and insurers can cut costs while mothers and newborns achieve better health.
A two-year effort in Washington state shows the possibilities of such an approach. After studying records from across the state, Washington health authorities concluded that 15 percent of the 80,000 annual births were elective deliveries at 37 to 39 weeks; no medical reason for a C-section or induction was given.
To discourage unnecessary surgeries, the state shaved off $1,000 from the $7,000 to $10,000 in Medicaid payments hospitals received for uncomplicated C-sections, saving $3 million a year. (Medicaid covers about half of all births in Washington, as in the rest of the country.)
On top of this disincentive, an incentive was added. The Legislature created a $10 million reward to be shared by hospitals that showed marked improvement on five measures, including reducing optional early births. Consequently, hospitals began requiring physicians to document a medical reason for every delivery before 39 weeks; others required all such births to be approved by a senior medical officer. For some, educating staff about the risks of delivering at 37 to 39 weeks was sufficient to bring rates down.
The initiative's results have been impressive. Elective early deliveries have been reduced 77 percent, from 15 percent of births to 3.4 percent; in the last year, 600 babies who would have been delivered before 39 weeks were born after. The perinatal group is using data it collected on C-section rates to help hospitals and physicians zero in on best practices.
A handful of other states are experimenting with measures to reduce optional early births. Others should look to Washington's proven success and model the virtues of its program.
