Did you know?Organic farmers and experts in India organized to address the agriculture crisis facing the nation's 700 million farmers. Poor yields, degraded soils, and expensive chemical inputs arising from the cultivation of pesticide intensive crops, including genetically engineered cotton, have devastated India's rural economy. Crop failures and crushing debt led over 300 Indian farmers to commit suicide between May and July. To address this crisis, farmers from all over the country joined together August 2, 2006 to create the "Organic Vision 2020," a long term strategy to shift the country's farming focus back to ecological and traditional organic practices.

What did you think of this review?
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
In the first adventure (episodes 1-7), Tenchi inadvertently wakes a mummified demon who was imprisoned at the Masaki family shrine 700 years ago--none other than space pirate extraordinaire Ryoko. The problems she causes are dwarfed by the arrival of Jurai princesses Ayeka and Sasami, bubble-brained Galactic Police Agent Miyoshi--and interstellar criminal Kagato. Assuming the role (and costume) of the Crown Prince of Jurai, Tenchi defeats the evil Kagato with a magic sword that resembles the lightsabers in Star Wars.
Unexpected arrivals keep the Masaki household in chaos in the later, shorter adventures (episodes 8-13), including a baby cousin of Tenchi's, a shape-shifting robot who impersonates Ryoko, and the Emperor and Empress of Jurai. The writers occasionally lose track of the plot, especially in episode 13, "Here Comes Jurai," but Tenchi has never...

This is perfect & made for those northeastern cold nights/winter! This is so much warmer than the jacket I had before (non-moosejaw bought jacket), and I cannot believe I am saying this, but I am actually excited for the chance for it to legit start being cold so I can get to wear it!
Super light weight! Great Color! I wore this biking to work on a 30 degree morning. I've never been that warm on a bike ride in the cold before. Love the soft fluffy part in the collar and soft fabric inside the pockets. It's like wearing a fashionable sleeping bag, to which i say YES! My new favorite jacket.
Way to go Moosejaw and Mountain Hardware!!! My ladies love these coats and they look great in them. My wife has the full length Downtowner and my daughter got this for Xmas based on my wife's recommendation. My wife's sister has the North Face Upper West Side coat and these coats a superior in quality and looks. It also has the added bonus of fleece inside, which is a fantastic idea. These coats are also warm and comfortable and keep my ladies toasting when the temperature gets down to 10 below. They are both 5'8'' 115 lbs and small fits perfect to include the sleeves, which run longer than most small coats - usually a problem they have with ordering smalls.
This jacket is so cozy without being incredibly bulky. And it covers up your bum just enough, without being too long! Not only does your rear stay warm, but you also avoid the potential for a cool updraft from shorter coats. It fit just right - you don't look like the Michelin Man, but there's also enough room to move. Oh and the lined pockets are great!
Just bought this in the dolomite color at an amazing price and am now going to watch for sale prices in other colors. LOVE this coat. Wanted a jacket that covered my bum without being too bulky and unflattering, and this totally fits the bill. My first Mountain Hardwear purchase, and I'm officially a fan!
I tried this coat on in a store prior to purchasing it here, just needed a different size. Found this website via Google, so very happy I did! Excellent pricing, fast shipping, great selection. As for the coat - My very first "high" end coat purchase and LOVE it!! The style and fit are great!! The true test....snow sledding with my kids in the cold Chicago temps....and I was warm as could be!! No regrets!!
. . This is my favorite go-to coat. I live in Buffalo and just used this again sledding yesterday in the bitter chill 10 degree weather for 3 hours sledding. All the adults were freezing except I. I was toasty warm I love how it covers your behind and it hugs beautifully. Very falttering coat. It's also so comfy snug and supple on the inside (and out). I would extremely recommend this coat. I absolutely LOVE it. I own too many coats LOL. I have North Face, Patagonia, etc... and THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST COAT I OWN. Worth any price! Moooooosejaw of course has the best prices!!!!

Soul-sucking 'dementor' wasps and 8 other crazy new species
Soul-Sucking Dementor Wasp
Latin name: Ampulex dementor
Topics: Unemployment, Amazon.com, Entertainment News
A picture of a woman's pink shoe floats on my computer screen. It's a flat, a street version of a ballet shoe. My job is to categorize the shoe based on a list of basic colors: Is it red, blue, pink, purple, white, green, yellow, multicolored? A description next to it reads "Pink Lemonade Leather." This is not exactly a brain-busting task; I'm doing it while talking to a friend on the phone. With the mouse, I check a box marked "pink." In the next split second, a picture of a navy blue shirt appears. I check "blue." Assuming my answers jibe with those of at least two other people being paid to scrutinize the same pictures, I've just earned 4 cents.
With my computer and Internet connection, I have become part of a new global workforce, one of the thousands of anonymous human hands pulling the strings inside of a Web site called Amazon Mechanical Turk. By color-coding the clothing sold by the online retailer, which helps customers to search for, well, pink shoes, I can now call myself a Mechanical Turker. In this new virtual workplace, everything is on a need-to-know basis, including who is doing the work, what the point of the work is and, in some cases, the very identity of the company soliciting the work.
Launched in November 2005, Amazon Mechanical Turk is named after a legendary automaton from the 18th century, "the Turk," which could play chess. The wooden man, adorned with a turban, appeared to be powered by the machinery of a clock. He even check-mated Benjamin Franklin, a devotee of the game. The Turk was a sensation: a machine that seemed to think. Coinciding with the birth of the Industrial Revolution, the Turk heightened anxieties that machines would replace humans in the workplace. Of course, it turned out to be a fabulous hoax. The ghost in the machine was, as skeptics had suspected, all too human. A chess expert was hidden in the Turk, making all the right moves.
The 21st century twist on the Turk, conceived by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, doesn't try to hide the people inside the machine. On the contrary, it celebrates the fact that we have become part of the machine. For fees ranging from dollars to single pennies per task, workers, who cheekily call themselves "turkers," do tasks that may be rote, like matching a color to a photograph, but they can confound a computer. Conceived to help Amazon improve its own sites, Mturk.com is now a marketplace where many companies have solicited workers to do everything from transcribing podcasts for 19 cents a minute to writing blog posts for 50 cents. Amazon takes a cut from every task performed.
Amazon claims its virtual workplace provides "artificial artificial intelligence" — a catchy way of saying human thought. "From a philosophical perspective, it's really turning the traditional computing paradigm on its head," says Adam Selipsky, vice president of product management and developer relations for Amazon Web Services. "Usually people get help from computers to do tasks. In this case, it is computers getting help from people to do tasks." As Tim O'Reilly, a computer book publisher and tech industry figure, puts it on his blog, old dreams of artificial intelligence are "being replaced by this new model, in which we are creating more intelligent systems by using humans as components of the application."
So who wants to be the human component of a computer application? A lot of people, it turns out. Since last November, thousands of workers from the U.S. and more than 100 other countries have performed tasks on Mturk.com. The most dedicated turkers have even formed their own online communities, such as Turker Nation.
The companies are certainly happy. The ones I contacted remarked how stunningly little it costs them to get work done through Amazon Mechanical Turk. Divvying up projects to hundreds of people not only gets the job done more quickly than contracting it out to temps or consultants — much less an actual employee — it gets it done much more cheaply. The tag line for the site could be: dirt-cheap artificial artificial intelligence. One tech company that uses Mturk.com to answer troubleshooting questions brags that it pays tens of dollars on Mechanical Turk for work that would typically cost thousands. And, hey, if companies don't like the quality of the work they get from turkers, they simply don't pay them.
As soon as it launched, the Mechanical Turk site sparked a hue and cry in the blogosphere. "Amazon, you cheap bastard. Don't you at least have the decency to pay minimum wage?" demanded one poster on a tech site. Another commentator sneered that it peddled "jobs even illegal aliens won't do." There is something a little disturbing about a billionaire like Bezos dreaming up new ways to get ordinary folk to do work for him for pennies. Is a cut-rate pittance the logical result of tapping into a global workforce of people with a computer, an Internet connection and an Amazon account? And, really, who are all these people working for a measly 1 cent?
The real human ingenuity of Mechanical Turk shines in the novel ways that companies and workers use it to get tasks done efficiently. CastingWords is a transcription service built entirely on the work of Mechanical Turk transcribers and editors. With a little code, plus the turkers, it has succeeded in basically automating the process. The company charges its customers from 42 cents a minute for podcast transcription to 75 cents a minute for other audio. CastingWords pays Mechanical Turk workers as little as 19 cents a minute for transcription. If a transcription job is posted on Mechanical Turk for a couple of hours at the rate of 19 cents a minute, and no worker has taken on the project, the software simply assumes the price is too low and starts raising it.
After a transcription assignment is accepted by a worker, and completed, it goes back out on Mturk.com for quality assurance, where another worker is paid a few cents to verify that it's a faithful transcript of the audio. Then, the transcript goes back on Mturk.com a third time for editing, and even a fourth time for a quality assurance check. "It's been terribly useful for us," says Nathan McFarland of Seattle, one of the co-founders of CastingWords. Transcription is the type of relatively steady task that keeps turkers with good ears who are fast typists coming back. "There are people who have been with us for months, and they're not leaving," says McFarland.
One of those workers is Kristy Milland, 27, a mother of one who runs an at-home day care in Toronto, as well as a Web site called RealityBBQ about the reality TV show "Big Brother." "I have a lot of free time basically sitting at the computer while the kids play," she says. Among the work she does is editing and quality assurance for CastingWords, but not transcription, because she has tendinitis. When Mturk.com first began, Milland would churn through 3-cent HITs. (That's "human intelligence tasks," Turker lingo for jobs.) Amazon was paying turkers to make sure that photos of businesses used on its A9 site, a local search engine, matched the actual businesses listed, a task a computer can't do. In an eight-hour day, when she didn't have the kids to watch, Milland could go through 1,000 photos, making a cool $30.
Lately, she's found a way to goose her earnings by competing for bonuses. A number of service companies use Mechanical Turk to do a "human augmented search." Say you're in a sports bar and having an argument about whether Roger Clemens has ever thrown a no-hitter. You can end the debate once and for all with a call to one of the services, which instantly posts the question on Mechanical Turk. Turkers then surf the Web and generally earn 2 cents for each answer.
Back in the sports bar, when you get the answer — "Clemens has never pitched a no-hitter" — you can rate the answer as great, good, lame or junk. Answers deemed "lame" or "junk" are rejected and the worker is not paid. If you don't rate the answer at all, the worker is automatically paid his or her 2 cents after seven days. Turkers who get the most "great" votes in a week get bonuses of as much as $75. In a good week, Milland can answer 100 research questions, making all of $2, but scoring one of those lucrative performance bonuses, she says, makes the search worthwhile.
The trivia pursuits are so competitive that they're snatched up by turkers within a minute of being posted. So Milland has set up software to notify her whenever a new question shows up on Mechanical Turk, so she can be the first to grab it. Plus, she's armed her Web browser with links to her top 100 reference sites so she can answer the questions as efficiently and accurately as possible. Turkers can choose to be paid in Amazon credit, making it easy to shop at the company store. Just the other day, Milland ordered $600 worth of DVDs and books for her family, as well as prizes for contests on her RealityBBQ. "It still doesn't add up to a lot of money per hour, but if I'm sitting there watching TV anyway, it's more than I'd make just sitting there," she says.
Milland's main beef with Mturk.com is that there's no way to complain if a company rips her off by refusing to pay for good, accurate work. "Amazon basically says, tough, they can reject what they want," she says. "There's no recourse." (Word of bad-apple companies, however, spreads fast on turker forums.) Milland would also like to see more work and more companies on Mturk.com. When the site first launched there was more to do, she says. These days it feels as if there are fewer opportunities and too many workers competing for them.
Of course, for all its rhetoric about artificial intelligence, Amazon did not launch Mechanical Turk for the good of science. For every task a worker completes for another company, the retailer collects a 10 percent fee from that company. For cheap HITs that pay just a penny, Amazon charges the company half a cent per HIT. Companies need not know the real name, much less the address or Social Security number, of turkers. Unless a worker earns more than $600 from a given company, the business has no obligation to issue the worker a tax form, or report the earnings to the Internal Revenue Service. Few workers cross that $600 threshold with any one company. Yet workers are required to report the money they earn on Mturk.com to the IRS as income — yes, even the $1.45 I made — to be taxed at the high rates of the self-employed. There's no chance that a worker might land a full-time job with a company through Mechanical Turk, since it's expressly forbidden in the site's "participation agreement," which requires workers to submit all work through the site, and not directly to the requester.
To a labor activist like Marcus Courtney of WashTech, a tech workers union, the whole arrangement represents a dystopian vision of a virtual sweatshop. "What Amazon is trying to do is create the virtual day laborer hiring hall on the global scale to bid down wage rates to the advantage of the employer," he says. "Here you have a major global corporation, based in the United States, that's showing the dark side of globalization. If this is Jeff Bezos' vision of the future of work, I think that's a pretty scary vision, and we should be paying attention to that."
Rebecca Smith, a lawyer for the National Employment Law Project, seconds that. "The creativity of business in avoiding its responsibility to workers never ceases to astound," she says dryly. "It's day labor in the virtual world." Smith sees Mechanical Turk as just another scheme by companies to classify workers as independent contractors to avoid paying them minimum wage and overtime, complying with non-discrimination laws, and being forced to carry unemployment insurance and workers compensation. "It's an example of cyberspace overtaking a country's labor laws," she says. Needless to say, the turkers don't see it that way.
Curtis Taylor, 50, a corporate trainer in Clarksville, Ind., who has earned more than $345 on Mturk.com, doesn't even think of turking as work. To him, it's a way to kill time. "I'm not in it to make money, I'm in it to goof off," he says. Taylor travels a lot for business and finds himself sitting around in hotel rooms at night. He doesn't like to watch TV much, and says that turking beats playing free online poker. To him, it's "mad money," which he blows buying gifts on Amazon, like Bill Bennett's "America, the Last Best Hope," for his son, a junior in high school. "If I ever stop being entertained, I'll stop doing it," he says. "I'll just quit."
Yet what's a happy diversion for Taylor is serious business for the companies on Amazon Mechanical Turk. Efficient Frontier, a search engine marketing firm, has used Mturk.com to accomplish tens of thousands of tasks since early 2006. Efficient Frontier helps companies figure out which keywords will bring Web surfers to their sites. With Mturk.com, Efficient Frontier can afford to pay three different people to look at each potential keyword, and vote whether those words are relevant to a given site. It costs the company just 4.5 cents to test each keyword, paying 1.5 cents to Amazon, and 1 cent each to three turkers.
Sherwood Stranieri of SkyPromote, another search engine marketing firm in Boston, says he now has a virtual staff of 120 workers on Mturk.com. "It's like a giant human computer," he says. "It's like having an infinite attention span." Stranieri pays qualified turkers to surf a Web directory and figure out exactly where a specific site should be listed. He can get 300 of these tasks done in just five or six hours, even if he posts them on Mturk.com in the middle of the night. He pays 5 cents a task. "Pricing is very low right now because there are so many more workers than tasks right now," he says. "People are fishing around for work to do." Why do people do it if the pay is so low? It's a question Stranieri wonders about himself. "I think it's something of a hybrid between trying to make money on the side and a diversion, a substitute for doing a crossword puzzle. It's sort of a mental exercise."
Eric Cranston, 18, who recently graduated from high school, got into turking because at the time he didn't have anything better to do. "When it came out," he says, "I had just broken my foot, so I was just at home doing nothing on the computer. So, why not?" He's used the money he's made answering survey questions and transcribing podcasts to buy a game controller and a computer monitor. He recently transferred $200 to his bank account. "I don't think anyone could actually make a living off of Mturk. There isn't enough work," Cranston says. He is one turker, however, who is plotting how to move up the food chain. Currently, Cranston and a friend are working to launch a Web-based business altering photographs, called Image Den, using, naturally, Mechanical Turkers to treat the images.
In its earliest days, someone posted a request on Amazon Mechanical Turk, offering to pay 2 cents for a drawing of a sheep facing left. Peter Cohen, director of Amazon Mechanical Turk, says the company was "puzzled by" the request. The requester was Aaron Koblin, a student in UCLA's Design/Media Arts program, who was writing his master's thesis about the site. He was intrigued by Amazon's effort to "establish a framework for the utilization of people as computers," as he wrote in his thesis. "My project was very tongue-in-cheek," he tells me. "On the one hand, it's using the system the way it's meant to be used. On the other hand, it's asking them to do this ridiculous thing."
The grad student invited turkers to draw up to five sheep at the rate of 2 cents apiece. Over 40 days and 40 nights, the sheep flooded in at a rate of 11 per hour. By the end, 7,599 turkers had participated. He collected 12,000 sheep and promptly put 10,000 of them up for sale at the rate of $20 for 20 sheep at the Sheep Market. This caused some consternation among the people who had drawn them. "They're selling our sheep!!!" wailed one poster on a turker message board. Another wrote: "Does anyone remember signing over the rights to the drawings?" In fact, they had. To participate in Amazon Mechanical Turk, workers, in the legalese of the site, "agree that the work product of any Services you perform is deemed a 'work made for hire' for the benefit of the Requester, and all ownership rights, including worldwide intellectual property rights, will vest with the Requester immediately upon your performance of the Service."
Why sheep? Koblin relished all the associations that sheep have from the biblical followers of the good shepherd to George Orwell's "Animal Farm." The term "cottage industry" comes from peasants' setting up shop at home, when it wasn't planting or harvesting season, often spinning wool. "The cottage industry, which would employ entire families from their houses, has notable similarities to Mechanical Turk, such as employing people for spare time, working from home, and relative anonymity," he wrote in his thesis.
Koblin wanted his project to capture the creativity expressed by turkers, while drawing attention to the insignificant role each of them played in the process. He certainly succeeded in capturing their creativity. Even after he stopped accepting sheep, and started selling them by the lot on the Internet, more people wrote to him wanting to contribute sheep for free. They just wanted to see their sheep join the herd. "Most of these people clearly weren't in it for the money," Koblin says. "They weren't doing it so they could get 2 cents. It was more about participating in something larger."
Maybe so. But maybe the ultimate message is: Congrats, fellow humans, we're not obsolete! The machines, they still need us! Only at a very sheepish price.

Get inside and crank up your heaters it's gonna be a cold winter.
A few of our friends are already under 2 feet of snow. So here is what they suggested we do to survive.
I am a hobbyist photographer that has always loved the beauty nature creates through the landscapes , the brush strokes of the clouds and the colors of the sky. I hope to expand my creative talents and learn more about photography so maybe one day I can capture the beauty and images my eyes see. That said it makes all the more special for us, (my wife and I) that so many have faved my photos. THANK YOU for all the wonderful comments and faves!
I am also very fortunate to have a wife that is beautiful , modelesque , and courageous enough to allow me to photograph her as a model. So be nice or you will get blocked.
We do this for art and to display the beauty of the female body. And as such some of our images may be/seem racy.

Roy Jones Jr. must realize that the more bums he fights, the more respect he loses.
OK, all great fighters periodically face unworthy challengers, as Jones did when he stopped unworthy Richard Hall in 11 rounds to retain the undisputed light heavyweight championship Saturday in Indianapolis.
And, of course, it's unlikely anyone is going to beat the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
However, there are meaningful challenges out there for Jones (42-1, with 34 knockouts) and he's not taking them.
He talks about fighting a heavyweight, which is intriguing. Maybe he'll try to lure the winner of the June 10 Evander Holyfield-John Ruiz title fight into the ring. He probably could beat Ruiz.
He might not have to reach that high to find an interesting opponent, though. How about the cruiserweights?
Undefeated Vassiliy Jirov, the IBF cruiserweight champ, might not have the speed to cope with Jones, but at least he's earned the right to give it a shot.
Same goes for Fabrice Tiozzo, the WBA cruiserweight titleholder.
Jones can even find a reasonable opponent in his own weight class. Unbeaten Dariusz Michalczewski and Graciano Rocchigiani have been among the best light heavies for years and are worthy challengers.
OK, these Europeans, who are making plenty of money facing nobodies at home, want to fight Jones in Europe if they fight him at all.
And who could blame Jones if he doesn't want to fight in hostile territory. Of course, the Europeans feel the same way about fighting in the United States.
Still, Jones must do something if he doesn't want to be remembered as an immensely talented fighter who never really had the chance to prove his greatness.
Find a way to lure the Europeans here. The right amount of money can be persuasive. Or fight there and win by such a large margin that no one could score the fight against you.
Or fight Jirov, who is based here and will fight here. This would probably would be the easiest fight to make.
Or stop talking about fighting a heavyweight and fight one, even a marginal one. At least we'll see what Jones has against a bigger, stronger opponent.
Just do something. We're tired of meaningless exhibitions. We want a fight.
For Elian: Joel Casamayor of Cuba, who challenges WBA super featherweight champion Jong Kwon Baek on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo., has dedicated the fight to Elian Gonzalez, the young Cuban at the center of a custody battle between two countries.
Casamayor, who trains with Joe Goossen in Van Nuys, won't discuss the situation in detail because he wants to protect relatives remaining in Cuba.
However, he did take a stand: He believes father and son should remain in the United States.
``They should've let him stay here,'' he said through an interpreter. ``I feel bad for him, for all he's been through.
``That's why I dedicate this fight to him.''
Casamayor (20-0, 12 KOs) has been successful since he defected to the U.S. in 1996. However, his biggest fight might be in the near future: He wants to face WBC champ Floyd Mayweather and prove he's one of the best fighters in the world.
``I gotta take the title from this guy first. Then I want to start making big money against big fighters,'' he said.
Sunday's fight is on Fox Sports Net.
Heavy stuff: As bad as the heavyweight division is, fans will get their fill of the big boys in the next several weeks.
Scheduled to fight are Oleg Maskaev (against Derrick Jefferson on Saturday on HBO), Hasim Rahman (Corrie Sanders, on the same card), David Tua (Obed Sullivan, June 3, Showtime), Holyfield (Ruiz, Showtime), Andrew Golota (Orlin Norris, June 11, Showtime) and Mike Tyson (Lou Savarase, June 24, Showtime).
Also, on May 25 on DirecTV, four familiar heavyweights hoping to reestablish themselves are on the same card: Ray Mercer (Anthony Wills), Oliver McCall (Marcus McIntyre), Larry Donald (Phil Jackson) and Henry Akinwande (Russell Chasteen).
That's a lot of big-name heavyweights. However, notice how many of the matchups are compelling: none.
A case could be made for Holyfield-Ruiz because a title (WBA) is at stake and Maskaev-Jefferson could be entertaining - but we're reaching.
Rabbit punches: Valley-based heavyweight Lance Whitaker, recovering from a knee injury, is back in training and could fight as soon as next month. . . .
Jirov will face Esteban Pizarro in a 10-round bout on a special card Friday at the Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills. Eric ``Butterbean'' Esch and Mia St. John also will fight.
Only invited guests will attend. . . .
Add another name to the daughter-turned-fighter list: Maria Johansson, the daughter of former heavyweight champ Ingemar Johansson, who will face Freed Foreman (George Foreman) on June 18 - Father's Day.
Hector Camacho Jr. will face Manard Reed on that card, which will be televised by Fox Sports Net. . . .
Boxing fans never forget great fighters - or great fights.
A luncheon to commemorate the 1974 brawl between Bobby Chacon and Danny ``Little Red'' Lopez scheduled for May 26th at the Old Spaghetti Factory in Hollywood is sold out.
Chacon, a Valley product, stopped the then-unbeaten Lopez in nine rounds in front of 16,080 at the Sports Arena.

Lovely upmarket "hippy" operation in the forest. I loved the old surfer's pickup abandoned in the undergrowth. A must stop en route to the Skookumchuk narrows.
Great coffee and baked goods. Muffins, scones, and sandwiches are all delicious. What a wonderful place in the woods!
This little cafe is a great spot for coffee with scrummy baked goods. Can't wait to visit again or to find their produce in other stores.
We were happy to see that our favourite little bakery had found wonderful new owners Alanna and Trevor and is now the Skookumchuck Bakeshop. We visited multiple times during our summer stay on the Sunshine Coast. They offer great coffee and a choice of teas which we enjoyed with our moist and flavourful blueberry lemon muffins and our gooey cinnamon...
My wife and I were on a little adventure for our 17th anniversary and decided to make our way up to Skookumchuck Provincial Park. I had read about the fantastic cinnamon buns at The Green Rosette at the head of the trail but thought we better earn them before eating them. So we did the hike and on our way...
Excellent stop to grab something to eat on your way to the rapids. Great selections and tasty treats.
Came up from Vancouver with the family, stopped in to grab a few cinnamon buns and coffee. Super friendly owners and great tasting treats. I highly recommend stopping in. The owner was very knowledgable and very friendly to talk to. Such a laid back place I could eat baked goods there all day long.....But then I'd be fat.
Now called the Skookumchuck Bakeshop & under new management. You can't go wrong with this location, between the parking lot and the start of the trail to Skookumchuck narrows up in the trees in a beautiful natural setting with a little creek and everything. Their buns were tasty, their smoothies are smooth, and their breakfast sandwiches hit the spot after...
Dropped by while in Egmont and tried the Skookumchuck Cinnamon bun which was fairly highly priced for what you get and wasn't impressed. Had better and paid a lot less. Nice owners. Great location but please don't price gouge because you're the only bakery within some kilometres. I'll go back to a place with fair pricing again and again but...
We are sorry that you were not impressed with the Skookum Cinnamon Bun. As new owners, with no previous baking experience, we are just learning the art of creating this famous cinnamon bun. We did have a few days where the buns were definitely not up to par earlier this season. Perhaps you were here one of those days, and...
I did the Skookumchuk Narrows hike in early July, as I was walking in to the trail I saw a couple sitting by a little bridge eating delicious cinnamon buns. As I looked up into the trees I saw the sign (a rusty old pickup with a surfboard on the roof) and further up a side path there sits the...

China Airlines (CAL) chairman Ringo Chao has resigned, saying he has completed what he set out to do in the job.
Chao sent a letter to employees of Taiwan's largest airline yesterday announcing his resignation. The carrier says recently appointed president Sun Huang-hsiang will be acting president until a new chairman is named by the board, which could come later this week.
Chao only became chairman of government-controlled CAL in October, replacing Philip Wei who resigned not long after a Boeing 737-800 was destroyed in a fire after landing at an airport in Japan. Chao was president at the time and he remained as both president and chairman until last month, when the carrier named Sun as president.
In his letter to employees yesterday, Chao said he had achieved what he set out to accomplish in the job, including helping improve safety and overseeing the start of regular non-stop flights between Taiwan and China, which began on 4 July.
Chao's resignation follows a recent change in government in Taiwan.

You know that Razer makes great gaming peripherals, but did you know they also produce products suited for the professional and stylish type? Today we are taking a look at their Pro|Click mouse and Pro|Type keyboard which both look great and function well.
The Razer Pro|Type keyboard performed admirably, providing comfort and positive actuation. The keys themselves use rubber-dome switches, instead of the faster-responding scissor or capacitive switches. However, to my fingers, these keys are a bit more comfortable to use than the short-throw scissor switches used on laptop keyboards, even if they sacrifice a bit of linearity to accomplish that.
This isn't a noisy keyboard, though the key-pressing action was amplified by the large structure of the keyboard itself. Resting my wrists on the wrist-rest bar took a little getting used-to, but overall this is a comfortable keyboard to use when you've got a lot to type. (No kidding – I'm using the Pro|Type to type this review!)
The small buttons along the sides of the Pro|Type use a different sort of switch that requires a bit more force to actuate, but I didn't find that this caused any problem with their usage. Just don't expect to use the same light touch as you would with the other keys on the keyboard.
The experience of using the Pro|Click mouse was, not surprisingly, indistinguishably similar to the Diamondback. The mouse slid smoothly over every smooth surface I tested it on, and even some not-so-smooth surfaces, like carpet. Tactile response of the two large buttons was light and fast. Another thing that was fiercely apparent with this mouse was its extremely high sensitivity, which is tweakable to an almost obscene degree in the Pro|Click control panel.
To test this mouse's dexterity, I traced a drawing in an image-editing program, and found it easy to keep the cursor exactly where I wanted it. Graphics professionals will appreciate the Pro|Click's variable sensitivity and smooth motion. On the wood-grain patterned surface of my desk, however, I found that at times the mouse's sensor couldn't make sense of the pattern, causing some accuracy problems. It's probably still a good idea to use a mouse pad.
Though the Pro|Type and Pro|Click v1.6 are based on two of Razer's successful gaming products, their particular functional strengths also translate nicely to productivity applications. Razer has developed two peripherals that are eminently usable, and reflect thoughtful engineering and design. The Razer Pro Solutions variants are about as expensive as their gaming-market counterparts, though the superior high-end user experience is every bit as present here as with Razer's gaming products.
The Pro|Type keyboard was a pleasure to use, and comfortable, though I sometimes found its illumination to be tiresome and distracting. While the rubber-dome keys still delivered a great combination of comfort and tactile feedback, at this price, I'd like to see scissor-switch keys. The physical size of this keyboard is also a drawback for myself and anyone else who values their desk space. The driver issues I encountered were a bit disconcerting as well. In the end, I elected to award the Pro|Type a Techgage score of 7.
The Pro|Click v1.6 mouse delivers a combination of smooth motion and excellent tactile response that make it a fierce competitor in the productivity peripheral market. As with the Pro|Type keyboard, I questioned the necessity of the Pro|Click's internal illumination, but I feel that the combination of blue illumination and white shell make for an attractive peripheral with definite gee-whiz factor. The tweakability offered by the Razer control panel is icing on the cake. As a result, the Pro|Click v1.6 fills up the Tech-"Gage†quite nicely, for a score of 8.
Somehow, I get the impression that Razer isn't targeting the entirety of the professional market with these products, only those who work in more advanced fields like graphic design and video editing, as well as home power users.

text: TASMANIA'S Minister for Economic Development and Tourism Paula Wriedt has been rushed to hospital by ambulance with an undisclosed medical emergency.Premier David Bartlett told a media conference late this afternoon that he would be taking over Ms Wriedt's portfolios but would not elaborate on her condition.``I have spoken with a member of Paula's family this afternoon and I need to inform the public of recent events.``Paula was taken to the Royal Hobart Hospital by ambulance a short while ago as a result of an undisclosed medical emergency.``I'm not in a position to speculate on the nature of her admission however I have received news that she will require a period of treatment and recuperation.''Mr Bartlett said that it was clear that in the short term Ms Wriedt would be unable to perform her duties as a minister.He said she needed to focus on getting well and his first and only priority in these circumstances was her health and well-being and that of her family.Ms Wriedt's family is also expected to make a statement.Ms Wriedt was in Melbourne last Thursday to announce a $4 million sponsorship deal with confectionary company Mars for the Tasmanian AFL team bid.The announcement descended into controversy when the Footy Show's Sam Newman made comments about Ms Wriedt after news of the sponsorship was presented on the Nine Network's popular television show.Newman contacted Ms Wriedt on Friday to apologise and expressed his regret for his comments.Ms Wriedt said she had received numerous messages expressing disgust at what Newman had said.First elected to State Parliament as the member for Franklin in 1996, Ms Wriedt was appointed to State Cabinet in 1998 as Minister for Education. She was Tasmania's youngest ever female Cabinet Minister. In 2006 she became Minister for Tourism, Arts and the Environment and earlier this year took on Economic Development and Tourism following a reshuffle of portfolios.Ms Wriedt is mother of two young children.Her father, Ken Wriedt, was a Labor Senator and served as Primary Industry Minister in the Whitlam government, later entering State Parliament and serving as a minister and Labor leader.FULL TEXT OF THE PREMIER'S STATEMENT ON PAULA WRIEDT:The Deputy Premier and I are here to make a short statement and we will not be taking questions afterwards. I have spoken with a member of Paula Wriedt's family this afternoon and I need to inform the public of recent events. Paula was taken to the Royal Hobart Hospital by ambulance a short while ago as the result of an undisclosed medical emergency. I am not in a position to speculate on the nature of her admission. However, I have received advice that she will require a period of treatment and recuperation. It is clear that in the short-term, Paula will be unable to perform her duties as a minister. She needs to focus on getting well, with the support of her family and friends. My first and only priority in these circumstances is Paula's health and wellbeing and that of her family. I will not speculate on any other matters. In the interim, I will be undertaking her portfolio roles. I have offered Paula?s family my personal support and that of the Government. I will respect their right to make a decision on further comments regarding her condition. I would appeal to the media to show appropriate restraint. My thoughts, and those of all Government MPs, are very much with Paula. I understand Paula's family will make a statement in due course.

I'm not sure why they lowered our expectations by saying that Volume 42 would be the end (let alone giving us a faux ending two years ago), but I admit that I'm impressed. The antagonists from the first three chapters seem to be working together, but since Lance has reformed, that probably goes for Pryce and Giovanni, as well. Is Sird their common enemy?

If you want to order it in English without importing it using a deputy service the only website I know about is Kinokuniya.

I have heard that bookstores in "Japan Towns" and "China Towns" (possibly also "Korea Towns", but that's just my speculations) sometimes have Pokémon manga in their respective language.
Some bookstores (at least Japanese) even offer CoroCoro subscriptions.
According to what I've heard there's at least one bookshop in Japan Town, San Fransisco (possibly Kinokuniya) and one bookshop in China Town, Los Angeles (if I remeber correctly) that offer Pokémon manga.
However, since vol. 42 has only been released in Japanese so far, it's Japanese bookstores that you'll have to turn to.
Kinokuniya has stores all over the US:
Vol. 42 is in stock in New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Costa Mesa (It wouldn't surprise me if you can order it to the other stores as well. And maybe even order books from Kinokuniya stores outside the US so that they arrive to a US Kinokuniya store, but this is of course speculations.)

I don't know to which regions the Japanese websites ship, but you can have a deputy service buy it and resell it to you.
Deputy services:
Probably cheaper:
http://pokevault.com/AboutUs (here you can request Japanese Pokémon merchandise, don't know if it applies to Pokémon manga)
http://sunyshore.com/ (could possibly buy and resell it, but they haven't mentioned if they take requests and if they deal with Pokémon manga)
Probably more expensive:
More deputy services + comparison (from 2009)

Going back to the topic, the Platinum and HGSS Chapters are rather short compared to the previous sagas. So, I'm guessing that Kusaka and Yamamoto are trying to catch up since the magazines serializing the manga aren't as much as before...
Chuang Yi can't legally sell Pokémon mangas outside of CY's licensing areas and Viz is no different. I'm pretty sure that if Chuang Yi can't sell their Pokémon mangas to the US, Europe and South Africa, Viz can't sell theirs to CY's licensing areas in Southeast Asia, Australasia and India.
That's why third parties like Kinokuniya and eBay sellers export / import it. For example if you check for Viz Pokémon manga at Kinokuniya's Singaporean website you'll note that the prizes are twice as high as usual. This is probably because they have to import it themselves in smaller bulks instead of using Viz's supply chain.

Irish Stew
|Best end of lamb neck
|3 Pound, trimmed of fat, bone and gristle
|2 Pound
|1 Pound
|Chopped parsley and thyme
|1 Tablespoon
|3⁄4 Pint (2 cups)
Cut the meat into fairly large pieces and see that the fat, bone etc. is trimmed off.
Peel and slice the potatoes and onions.
Put a layer of potatoes in a pan, then herbs, then sliced meat and finally onion.
Season each layer well and repeat this once more, finishing with a thick layer of potatoes.
Pour the liquid over, cover with a sheet of foil, then the lid, and either bake in a slow oven (250° F. electric; gas regulo 1-2) or simmer very gently on top of the stove, shaking from time to time so that it does not stick, for about 2 hours.
Add a very little more liquid if it seems to be getting very dry.
Another method is to place the trimmed neck chops around the inside edge of a saucepan, and put the sliced onions and small potatoes with herbs and seasonings in the middle.
Add the water, put on the lid and then cook very slowly for about 2 hours until the meat is quite tender.
If the meat is so placed, you will have no difficulty in serving.

Education Notebook: Salk students wear hats for Haiyan relief
Students at Salk Middle School raised about $600 to help the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
The fundraiser was organized by Salk's Associated Student Body officers Kyle Cozza, Zoe Ruchti and Jake Wash. Students and staff donated $1 to wear a hat of their choice to school for a day. Donations continued for two days after their hat day.
The school donated the money to the American Red Cross for relief efforts in the Philippines.
The students learned how to think "globally with compassion and selflessness at the needs of others," said teacher Debra Trujillo-Gilbert in an email.

11/12/2013 (1 year ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Has it really been almost 40 years since the Swedish rock group ABBA won over the record-buying public with "Waterloo?" Indeed it has - and the occasion just may very well trigger a reunion of one of the world's most successful pop bands ever! Blonde songstress Agnetha Faltskog confirmed the news with a German newspaper this past weekend.
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Formed in 1972, ABBA first hit the big time with the single "Waterloo," which won them the Eurovision song contest in 1974 and catapulted them to worldwide fame.
Becoming one of the world's best-selling pop bands ever, ABBA had a long string of number one hits such as "Mamma Mia", "Dancing Queen" and "Super Trouper."
"Of course it's something we're thinking about," 63-year-old Faltskog told the weekly newspaper Welt am Sonntag.
"There seem to be plans to do something to mark this anniversary in some way. But I can't say at this point what will come of them," she said.
Faltskog formed ABBA in 1972 with guitarist and songwriter -- and later husband -- Bjorn Ulvaeus, as well as Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad.
ABBA's last album, "The Visitors" hit the charts in 1982.
Faltskog and Ulvaeus, and Andersson and Lyngstad were both married couples, and both divorced. The band itself never formally broke up.
ABBA sold more than 380 million records worldwide and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.
After their last album, both Faltskog and Lyngstad pursued solo careers. Andersson and Ulvaeus wrote the hit Broadway musical "Chess and reworked 24 ABBA hits into the musical "Mamma Mia," which went on to be made into a box office smash hit film starring Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan.
All four ABBA members have persistently ruled out doing so in the past, although the four members did reunite for the Swedish premiere of the movie "Mamma Mia," marking only the second time all of them had appeared together in public since 1986.
Ulvaeus and Andersson had previously declared there was "simply no motivation to regroup . We would like people to remember us as we were, young, exuberant and full of ambition," Ulvaeus said.
Faltskog says that time for a possible reunion is running out. "We're all getting older. I can't imagine going onto the stage on walking sticks," Faltskog said.

The Trojans recorded more turnovers (20) than field goals made (19) on the night.

3 cups
2 teaspoons
1 cup
chopped broccoli
2 tablespoons
3 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
14 1/2 ounces
evaporated milk
1 cup
1 1/2 teaspoons
grated onion
1 1/2 teaspoons
I was pleasantly surprised by this recipe. This is the only Cream of Broccoli soup I could find that doesn't list chicken broth or chicken boullion in the ingredients (I didn't have either). Great flavor and texture and I will make this again.
This was a tasteless soup. I had to add cheese to thicken it up, and then the soup broke. Tasted better, but looked awful!!
47 Ratings
This soup is superb. Used skim milk and opted to saute the onion til transparent for sweetness. I Love this soup. My new favorite. Really do not measure anything, just kind of add and mix as i go. Once in a bowl, add a bit of black pepper and sprinkle with grated parmesian cheese. MMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMM Good!!!!!!! Have made it 3 times in like 2 weeks. Delish!!! Brenda
This was great. I was tired of all of the Cream of Broccoli recipes making you cook the stuff first and then put it in the blender, that was always a mess. This one came out great!!! I added chicken broth instead of the water to the milk and it gave it extra flavor. Thanks!!
This soup was very good, and quick and easy to make! I gave it 4 stars though because i changed it a little bit. I used frozen broccoli and I used 3 cups instead of one. It turned out nice and thick! Will definitely make this again.
This recipe is a keeper. Made it twice, with 2nd time coming out much better after some changes were made. 1st and 2nd time, I used the Salad Shooter with wide blade to chop broccoli, 1st time: I used 2 tsp salt (too salty for us), so cut back to 1 tsp. I served it right after making and added shredded Cheddar cheese (it took away the broccoli taste, which we love). 2nd time: I used the boiled water from cooking broccoli to make the sauce, using all-purpose flour (last time I used Wondra, a gravy flour). After making in large saucepan, I poured the soup into top pan for double boiler and let it sit covered 1 hour before serving. To warm it, I put fresh water in lower double boiler pan to prevent scorching. Soup was very creamy and tastier. By the way, I used 2 cups of broccoli instead of 1. Thanks for sharing with us.
I loved it - I left out the onions, added black pepper, and left the broccoli in large chunks. My children LOVED it, I will make it again!
Love it! I add instant mashed potatoes and all kinds of stuff to make it great. (Anything I can think of that I have around that looks good... noodles, etc.)

text: Nothing, actually. There's no open shutter function nor is there a spot to thread on a shutter release (for a press camera or something?). Therefore the solution we came up with in HS was to glue onto the lensboard a threaded shutter release adapter that hits the shutter arm. Effectively, we thread a locking cable release into that adapter, cock the shutter, open and lock it. Kinda ghetto, but it has worked for about 8 years or so. Now that the new camera doesn't take the same lensboard, I realized I won't be able to use the same technique, unless of course I want to glue it on that one as well.
