Report: Evidence Of War Crimes By Both Sides In Syrian Conflict
Host, Your Wake Up Call
Follow @JennaLaineBucs
A UN panel is finding evidence of war crimes by both the Syrian government and by the Islamic State group fighting there. The independent commission says the government has likely used chlorine gas to attack civilians.
And it says the Islamic State group has committed crimes against humanity with attacks on civilians in two provinces. It's the first time the UN has assigned blame for use of the chemical agent.

A Port Clinton man was indicted Tuesday on two counts of gross sexual imposition for allegedly having sexual contact with two children under 13.
Christopher Jones, 37, of the 200 block Buckeye Blvd., allegedly acted out a tickle fetish of some sort on the children.
A woman went to Port Clinton police May 18 saying the children were molested by Jones, who is a family friend, according to a Port Clinton police report.
One of the alleged victims told another family friend Jones "was tickling her in her private parts," the report said.
The woman spoke with the other child who confirmed the same thing happened to him, the report said.
She went to police the day after the alleged incident because the woman said she initially thought about handling it on her own, the report said. She was encouraged by her sister to report what happened, she said.
She and the children also met with a representative from the Children Services agency.
When police questioned Jones, he did not ask what the allegations were. He asked who the involved children were, the report said.

Landscape and Irrigation announced its selections for the "Twenty for 2015" new product awards this week, and the Gravely Atlas JSV took home the prize in the UTV category.
The Twenty for 2015 new product awards recognize products in the commercial landscape and irrigation markets. Products were judged by the Green Media editorial staff based on innovation, marketability and application within the market.
"Development plans began on the JSV with our past experience and involvement in the UTV category," said Director of the Gravely Brand Bill Engler. "We understood that a market exists for a jobsite-specific vehicle that fits the needs of the contractor, so we ceased the production of our UTV, the Trekker, and decided to partner with an OEM to bring together their expertise of the UTV industry and our knowledge of the needs of the landscaping industry. The partnership allowed us to develop the ultimate work vehicle."
Atlas JSV was launched on Sept. 22, 2014, with contractors getting their first look at the vehicle during the 2014 GIE + Expo in Louisville, K.Y. that October.
"Through our experience with our previous UTV, our customers were telling us they needed a vehicle to hold up the rigors of a landscape contractor," Engler added. "That led us to perform market study groups all over the country. We learned that there are many vehicles that can do work, but they are also trying to be everything to everyone. No one had a vehicle specifically designed and targeted to the jobsite."
Throughout development with the Polaris team, Gravely was able to do just that, and has successfully designed a vehicle that can support landscape contractors who work all day, every day. The Atlas MX-18 JobBox sets it apart. The 48.2-inch by 57-inch by 11.4-inch box can accommodate a standard pallet with the tailgate closed and has a capacity of 1,250 pounds. The machine also has a 1,900-pound payload and a 2,000-pound towing capacity. In addition, it's rugged exterior with dual headlights and ample interior, with seating room for three or six adults, makes it the perfect complement to any jobsite.

National grassroots event organizes thousands in landscaping industry for day of volunteering
In celebration of Earth Day, Gravely® took part in the National Association of Landscape Professionals' (NALP) Day of Service Event.
Ariens Company employees, in partnership with Vande Hey Landscaping, worked to improve the curb appeal of the Harbor House in Appleton, Wis. During the event, volunteers from both companies volunteered by spreading mulch, planting trees and flowers and pulling weeds. More than $6,500 in materials and labor was donated.
NALP's Day of Service event is a grassroots event that gives professionals in the landscape industry an opportunity to plan, organize, and carry-out volunteer service projects that benefit their communities. In 2014, approximately 89 projects were completed in 24 states, and more than 2,200 volunteers participated. Over $400,000 in time and services was donated to local communities.
"This project was very important to us as members of the green industry, and we were excited to be able to celebrate Earth Day while helping out a great local organization, Harbor House Domestic Abuse Services," said Ariens Company Director of Gravely Brand Bill Engler. "Beautifying the area and the community is important for the neighborhood as well as the people that live here."
Established in 1984 as a program of the Outagamie County Department of Human Services, Harbor House Domestic Abuse Programs began as a grassroots organization offering a safe shelter and basic crisis services to women and children hurt by domestic abuse. Today, the Harbor House is an integrated and supportive community, surrounding women and children with a comprehensive range of program options.
The building is perched alongside a long road, making it the perfect subject for a landscaping renovation. Employees from the Ariens Company re-landscaped three areas along the building's façade over a span of six hours.
Gravely® is supporting 2015 Student Career Days as a Silver Sponsor for the ninth consecutive year. The annual competition and networking event for students enrolled in green industry programs from colleges and universities across the country is organized by PLANET, the Professional Landscape Network. More than 850 students are expected to participate in this year's event which will be held at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, N.C. from March 12 to 15.
"Student Career days provides a fantastic environment for mentoring and an exchange of ideas between students and green industry professionals, said Ariens Company Director of Commercial Sales Bill Engler. "The event is intense and fast-paced, leaving you feeling energized about the future of the business. We're happy to have the opportunity to get to know the next generation that will be leading our industry."
Students will compete in more than 20 different events that include tree climbing, paver/hardscape installation, wood construction, plant identification, sales presentation, exterior/interior design, irrigation troubleshooting, personnel management, and small engine repair.
Gravely will sponsor the truck and trailer event, as well as the sales event. In the truck and trailer event, a team of students are given the opportunity to load a Gravely mower on a trailer and then drive an obstacle with the loaded vehicle. For the sales event, students must sell a landscape design project to clients. Both events provide a simulation of what it might be like to work in the green industry.
Jim Masters joined the Ariens Company just over a year ago and is bringing more than 30 years of new product development, demonstrated innovation, and world-wide engineering experience from such established industries as automotive, aerospace, military and commercial environments. He now holds the position of Vice President of Ariens Engineering and Quality.
We sat down with Jim to discuss his role at Ariens and how he makes sure Gravely equipment lives up to the quality standards the brand is known for.
Gravely: Can you please describe the quality standards set in place at the Ariens Company, and the quality process that is used when manufacturing machines?
Masters: This is a very involved question, and depending on the detail – could take one to two sentences or require a novel. Something that differentiates us from our competitors is that Ariens quality embeds its discipline at each initial stage of product and process conception, revision/modification and certainly design. With an alignment of the quality discipline under engineering, we have assured ourselves that our quality eyes are focused properly throughout the product's construction and assembly, and furthermore, throughout each and every product's lifespan. We also work very hard to incorporate the voice of our customers into these quality and design efforts. We have found over the years that where the blade hits the turf – that's where the real experiences surface.
Of course, assuring that our products are manufactured to specific requirements remains our utmost priority; however, almost equally as important for us is that our quality vision and long standing culture is embedded into our designs and processes. Having this type of early involvement by our quality team assures us and our customers that at every stage, and at every level, we have a significant member of that team focusing totally on the Ariens quality experience. It's the way it should be, but very few actually do it.
Gravely: You're in charge of engineering for new product development. Can you talk about how you've restructured your team and what it means for the future?
Masters: Of course! We have recently restructured our technical talent base into two discrete functions: one that is dedicated to the product line itself (Engineering Platform Management), and another that is responsible for the technology (Engineering Centers of Excellence [CoEs]). This concentration has and will continue to produce more products more efficiently, as well as turbo-charge our innovation efforts – all to provide even better results to our customers.
The organization is in full swing now at the Ariens Company, and has made exceptional strides not only by improving our new product development efficiency, but by now providing a continuous stream of new solutions and ideas in a timely manner. It's very exciting.
Gravely: Describe your vision and philosophy on new product development.
Masters: This is simple-- lead! I believe we really do understand the landscape commercial market, as well as all of the other markets we provide products and solutions for. I also believe that we are now properly aligned to take advantage of this knowledge, to continue to ask the right questions, reach the right field environments to get the feedback we need to continue our understanding, and then to produce what I feel are both evolutionary and revolutionary new products. This is a very exciting time for me, and I believe for the Ariens Company, as well. Stay tuned – I guarantee you some exciting stuff is in the near future.
Gravely: What goals do you have for "critical to quality" projects? Can you describe what some of those projects are?
Masters: Here at Ariens, we have fairly detailed methods to ascertain a "critical to quality" (CTQ) product. We have mechanisms and triggers in place throughout multiple disciplines (i.e.: sales, dealer channel, customer service, end users, etc.) where issues can and are reported – and depending on the internal trigger criteria established in each of these areas, a CTQ will be generated. There isn't one issue, when brought to the attention of any of these groups, that doesn't get surfaced in some way or another for review and understanding. It is very important for us to keep all of these channels open and to encourage both internal and external feedback on our products.
Once an issue does trigger a CTQ, it gets classified into one of three alerts. A red CTQ alert demands a team on the issue immediately. These may pertain to equipment that is down or has become non-functional for some reason, or may involve a safety or operational concern. Red CTQ's are very rare at Ariens. The next level is a yellow CTQ, which gets submitted to the proper engineering platform manger and is then assigned to the appropriate technical team (with other representation from the company as needed).
These are entered and tracked on real time internal electronic dashboards and are available for Ariens employees to view at any time. The boards contain just what the CTQ/concern is, what is being done to resolve it and when we expect to have it solved forever. The last alert level contains the rest, which are issues that have not triggered a red or yellow CTQ, but are still of significant importance to the company. These are reviewed in detail when we perform a product enhancement, or are evaluating a product or product line. Of course, my goal is zero CTQ's, and that is why I personally review every potential and current CTQ.
Gravely: What are you most excited about for this upcoming lawn and garden season?
Masters: Everything! I don't know how not to be. Every season is exciting, isn't it? It's another chance to get our equipment out into the field, performing to and hopefully beyond our expectations. It's also another opportunity to get in touch with our dealers and end users to continue to even better understand their real world perspectives of living and working with our equipment over time. Best of all, it's another chance to spend quality time with our customers, and to honestly enjoy the satisfaction of our combined efforts during the off season.
What is there not to be excited about every year? Not only is spring traditionally celebrated across the country as a desired seasonal time change, but for Ariens, spring is much more than that. It's a very special time indeed. Just this year we will have launched the new Atlas JSV, a totally different type of 4-wheel workhorse that is specifically designed for the commercial and professional customer. Currently, we are launching the Gravely ZTX, with a whole new look and some very impressive upgraded functions that I am anxious and excited for our customers to see and experience. We're looking forward to this lawn and garden season!
ESTABLISHED IN 1976, BLAND LANDSCAPING COMPANY proudly claims the spot as one leading full-service providers for high-end residential estates and commercial landscaping. Owner Kurt Bland has enjoyed steady success in the industry, and has gained a great deal of insight into what makes a landscaping business work, and what doesn't. We asked Bland to give us some of that insight, in hopes to help educate landscape contractors of all sizes. Specifically, we asked him to talk about his proven-successful approach to equipment asset management. His thoughts on the topic are below:
Our Equipment Asset Program is a reflection of our general philosophy towards business, which includes a deliberate effort to standardize that which can be standardized, in order to lessen work defects and improve performance overall. Whereas some companies, namely smaller ones, in our industry evaluate their equipment purchasing options annually or even between purchases, our philosophy is to thoroughly examine our options every five years. This way, we can make educated decisions about which equipment to operate for specific functions within the company with a longer term view of ownership and the benefits of standardization.
We work deliberately to reduce the variety of makes and models that we own and operate. This strategy lessens the parts inventory we must stock, and it makes training of mechanics and crew members much more streamlined. For example, all of our walk behind and riding mowers are Gravely brand units. Within the overall fleet, the overwhelming majority of machines are either Pro-Hydro 48-inch walk behinds or 152 XDZ riding mowers. If a crew member gets moved between crews, he is more readily adaptable to the machinery on either crew. If a machine requires repair, chances are that our "service loaner" unit is going to be the same, or very similar model, to the one the crew operates every day. This long term view towards equipment ownership and standardization is a recurring theme that rears its head in other parts of our business, as well.
Historically, we have always owned machinery and vehicle assets ourselves and avoided leasing. This is something we evaluate periodically, and our position may shift, pending the final outcome of changes to tax laws. We view this decision as being strictly a financial and tax planning question. Some companies elect to lease in order to pretty up their balance sheet, while others do it to spread their sources of financed capital to off balance sheet positions. With congress having extended section 179 deductions, and the fact that leased assets will have to be reflected on balance sheets in the future, the once attractive appeal of leasing is diminishing.
That could change, and our position could be influenced by such changes. It really comes down to an assessment of the company and its owners' financial strategy and tax situation. We have grown our business organically and growth has never been allowed to outpace earnings. Continual re-investment into the company has been required in order to fund the capital assets such as trucks, machinery, and real estate. For some companies, growth outpaces earnings, or they may not have a robust balance sheet that allows for traditional financing or cash purchases. Finally, there is one other feature about leasing that we have considered, which is the ability to return the machines at the end of a lease without having to sell them. So far, this benefit has not been valuable enough for us and we are pleased with the long service life we get from Gravely products. While we retire or salvage most machines after five years, we have some that are older but still reliable enough to stay in the fleet after as many as six or seven years. If these were leased machines, we would have lost big.
Our vehicle and equipment assets represent nearly $6 million in combined value, after accounting for depreciated value. That number considerably understates what our replacement cost would be, considering that our machines get regular service and attention. The notion that proper preventive maintenance is something to do as an afterthought when you aren't busy doing something else is simply not tolerated. For this reason, we do not let anyone other than trained mechanics work on our machinery and fleet assets. Ten years ago we built a full service equipment and automotive shop. Today, the shop is equipped with multiple machinery lifts, an auto lift, tire changer, and all kinds of specialty tools. Inside the shop we have a two person off road machinery team and one automotive preventative maintenance mechanic who also does light repairs.
Our mechanics see every machine every week. Three weeks per month, a mobile preventative maintenance truck comes to a job site and does maintenance, lube, safety inspection, blade change, and filter clean-out. This happens without interrupting the crew because it is scheduling ahead. Once per month, each truck and its assigned machinery come in for a full on-the-rack inspection, preventative maintenance, tire rotation, and repairs. We provide our team with a pool of shared loaner machines to use when we have to pull an asset out of service. This is normally due to a safety violation that requires immediate lock-out, or observation of a potential major part failure ahead. Every winter, we bring all of the machines in for a thorough winter service.
All of this costs money, but more importantly it saves money and prevents downtime. From our point of view, the best way to save money on machinery is to prevent downtime, and we invest substantially in doing so.

text: Home > Medical > Diabetes > News 14 November 2012 Diabetes worldwide at a record high Diabetes is running at record levels worldwide and half the people estimated to have the disease are, as yet, undiagnosed, according to a report. 0 Diabetes is running at record levels worldwide and half the people estimated to have the disease are, as yet, undiagnosed, according to a report. The number of people living with diabetes is now put at 371 million, up from 366 million a year ago, with numbers expected to reach 552 million by 2030, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) said. Diabetes is often viewed as a western problem, since the vast majority of people have type 2 diabetes which is linked to obesity and lack of exercise. But the disease is also spreading rapidly in poorer countries, alongside urbanisation, and four out of five diabetics now live in low and middle-income countries, opening up new opportunities and challenges for the drug industry. Hidden burden in Africa China alone has 92.3 million people with diabetes, more than any other nation in the world, and the hidden burden is also enormous in sub-Saharan Africa where limited healthcare means less than a fifth of cases get diagnosed. The IDF estimates that, globally, 187 million people do not yet know they are suffering from the condition. Diabetics have inadequate blood sugar control which can lead to serious complications, including nerve and kidney damage and blindness. Worldwide deaths from the disease are running at 4.8 million a year. The disease is one of a number of chronic conditions - along with cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases - that healthcare campaigners want included in the next set of global development goals, which will replace outgoing Millennium Developments Goals in 2015. For the international drugmakers, diabetes offers riches, with global sales of diabetes medicines expected to reach $48-$53 billion by 2016, up from $39.2 billion in 2011, according to research firm IMS Health. More countries trying to meet demands Tapping into the potential of increased demand in emerging markets, however, requires a twin-track approach from drug companies which have traditionally focused on pricey new therapies for rich-world markets. These days, there is a lot more focus on high-volume but lower-margin business in developing economies, many of which are predicted to show high double-digit percentage sales growth for diabetes medicines for years to come. The shift is already yielding results. China, for example, is now the second-largest market behind the United States for the world's biggest maker of insulin - Danish group Novo Nordisk. It is also a major focus for rivals such as Eli Lilly, Merck & Co, and Sanofi. Poorer countries are more difficult, especially when it comes to insulin, which must be kept cool if it is not to deteriorate. While most patients start on cheap generic diabetes pills, such as metformin, many need insulin as their disease progresses. Still, Novo Nordisk thinks it has cracked part of the problem in Kenya, where a project using churches and other local groups has reduced the number of middlemen in the supply chain and cut the cost of a month's supply of insulin to around 500 Kenyan shillings ($6). So far, the project only covers around 1 000 Kenyans but Jesper Hoiland, Novo's head of international operations, is confident his company's low-price model will become profitable as it increases in scale. "It will take three to five years to get to breakeven," he said in an interview. In the meantime, similar pilot schemes are being tested in rural India and Nigeria. Other major drugmakers like Sanofi, which has a significant presence in Africa, are also adopting "tiered" or differential pricing to open up developing world markets.

Kimberly B. George is a feminist scholar, writer, consultant, and entrepreneur of alternative education. She's worked with professionals in many realms of leadership—from medicine to psychodynamic therapy to journalism—to teach the tools of a feminist and intersectional analysis of power and justice.
Her classes, lectures, and workshops analyze the injustices perpetuated by historical systems of violence, and seek to cultivate courageous imagination for altering those systems. Her teaching methods are most indebted to women-of-color feminist traditions— diverse and brilliant intellectual and creative knowledges that have lead the way in theorizing gender as interconnected to race, class, sexuality, and western colonialism and capitalism.
Kimberly's writing has appeared in such publications at The Feminist Wire, NewBlackMan (in Exile),The New Haven Register, The Washington Spectator, Feministing.com, and The OpEd Project's ByLine Blog. She's currently working on two book length projects: a scholarly co-edited anthology of essays on cultural studies and the NFL (with David Leonard and Wade Davis); and a creative project on what it means to shift our structures of knowledge.
She holds an MA from Yale University, where she was a Merit Scholar from 2009-2011. Prior to Yale, she trained in English and counseling psychology. Currently, she's a PhD student researching the intersections of critical social theory (focusing on Black feminisms) and psychoanalysis (focusing on relational psychoanalysis).
When she's not writing or studying or teaching, she's enjoying her yoga practice, hosting lingering brunches, collecting vintage dresses for a online boutique in process, watching her beloved Seattle Seahawks (yep—loving football is complicated as a feminist!), and otherwise savoring the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

"We wanted to create a dream-like palette with the water columns and the music to thread it together."
It seems the only limits on what Davison can create are of the imagination. And budget.
Davison wouldn't say how much it cost to create "Winter Dreams" other than it was "enough to make the magic right."
The original "World of Color" show, which was part of a massive overhaul of the park in 2010, cost $75 million, according to The New York Times.
The show was part of "E-ticket entertainment" meant to draw visitors back to the parks.
When "World of Color" was created, Davison said colored fountains didn't even exist. It was not known how or whether lasers would interact with the water or how movielike imagery would play.
Davison, who is also responsible for the nightly fireworks shows and has created Disney parades and shows from Europe to Asia, says he hopes "Winter Dreams" will become "a new tradition – something you come to see year after year."
Davison is not done with using the "World of Color" technology or embarking on the "whole laundry list" of projects he'd like to undertake.
With "World of Color," he says: "I'd love to do Halloween. It would really be a fun, fun one to do."

Site of the First Shot
This was the site of the First Shot of the Texas Revolution.
The 'Come & Take It' cannon fired the first shot on October 2nd, 1835 in Gonzales for Texas' freedom. In 1831 the cannon was loaned by the Mexican Government to the people of Gonzales for their protection against the Tonkawa Indians. In September of 1835, Santa Anna ordered Col. Ugartechea, who was the Commandant at Bejar (San Antonio) to return the cannon to the Casas Reales (Mexican Armory at Bejar) and Lt. Francisco Castaneda along with150 Dragoons was sent to pick up the cannon. The request was declined. For many days the Mexican tried to cross the river but were held back by Gonzaleans who sat on the east bank of the Guadalupe River. Then reinforcements arrived and the canon was dug up by the Gonzaleans from where they had hidden it in a peach orchard and was mounted on the axle of a cotton wagon. Two local ladies took a wedding dress and stitched it into a white flag which displayed a black star, a cannon, and the words 'COME AND TAKE IT'. On the night of October 1, 1835, 160 Texans and reinforcements, crossed the Guadalupe River in thick fog about 6 miles north west of Gonzales, and came face to face with the Mexican forces. It was here that the cannon fired - a charge of made up of pieces of scraps of metal and chains which make the Mexicans disperse and withdraw to San Antonio. As a result of the blast, one Mexican died and ultimately, this was the start of the Texas Revolution.
Location : 7 miles southwest of Gonzales on Hwy 97.

San Antonio
San Antonio lies abouat 65 miles northwest of Gonzales and is the eighth largest city in the U.S. and the third biggest in Texas. The famed Alamo, River Walk, Tower of the Americas, the Mercado Mexican-style marketplace, theme parks, art museums are well patronised. San Antonio certainly lives up to its reputation as one of the top tourist destination in the country.
Shiner lies about 25 mins to the south (about 18 miles)and is reported as the cleanest little city in the US. The most well known attraction of Shiner, which only has a population of around 2,300 people, is the brewery. That alone brings people into Shiner including businessmen who travel the route from San Antonio to Houston and find the time to stop by for a little sampling. Take a tour through the brewery, it is well worth it.

In addition to Georgia's relatively swift non-judicial foreclosure process, lenders with a defaulting borrower in Georgia have the option of seeking a receivership over property securing their loans. A court-appointed receiver can, in keeping with the terms of the receivership order, manage and operate the assets and exercise broad powers over the property while the lender takes the time to come up with the best resolution for the non-performing loan. Having a well-qualified receiver in place can result in stabilized operations at a commercial property and make the property more attractive to potential purchasers, or simply protect the asset from ruin if the borrower is no longer able to perform upkeep and basic protections.
Georgia law permits the appointment of a receiver over property that secures a debt where there is "manifest danger of loss, destruction, or material injury to those interested." O.C.G.A. § 9-8-3. Generally, grounds for the appointment of a receiver include the borrower's failure to pay property taxes or to maintain appropriate insurance, the borrower's collection of rents from the property in violation of an assignment of rents agreement, and/or the borrower's having insufficient resources to maintain and operate the property, especially if there is evidence of waste or damage to the property itself.
To seek a receivership, a lender files a complaint and motion to appoint a receiver in Superior Court and requests an immediate hearing on the motion. Depending on the availability of the judge the case is assigned to, hearings can usually be scheduled quickly-- within one to three weeks of the filing of the motion for appointment of receiver. The lender should also submit a proposed receivership order outlining the specific powers and authority that the receiver will have once appointed, in addition to the receiver's obligations to report to the court and the proposed compensation plan for the receiver.

REGION: Owners of Rancho Guejito sue SD County
The county's new plan, however, cuts in half the several hundred homes Rancho Guejito probably would be allowed to build. Its zoning density dropped from 1 home per 40 acres to 1 home per 80 acres under the new plan.
Rancho Guejito stretches nearly from Highway 76 in the north to Highway 78 in the south, adjacent to the Cleveland National Forest and east of Valley Center. It includes a 13,000-acre parcel that is the last Mexican land grant in California and dates to 1845.
The land includes old adobe homes, American Indian artifacts, running streams and high mountain territory.
Rancho Guejito has been described as "a jewel" by historians and conservationists alike.
"(It is) probably the most inspiring piece of history in California," said Bob Lerner, a Valley Center historian who has written extensively about the property.
"Once you drive through the main gates, it's like stepping back into another century ---- it is another century," he said. "It's like California was when we were part of Mexico."
He said access to the property is extremely limited. Fences line its perimeter, surveillance cameras and signs warning of armed guards stand at its main gate off Guejito Road east of Lake Wohlford.
Rupp said security is necessary to prevent poachers, trespassers and limit fire danger.
James O'Day, the county attorney handling the lawsuit, said the county plans to defend its newly approved General Plan Update in court.
The corporation contends in the lawsuit that the county failed to conduct adequate environmental reviews for the plan. O'Day, however, said the document is "thorough" and results from years of work by county staff and the public. More than 500 public meetings were held on the General Plan Update, planning for which started in 1998.
O'Day said the county has not received any other lawsuits on the General Plan Update since it was approved a month ago, noting the deadline for such suits has passed.
No court dates are set for the lawsuit. But O'Day said the suit "won't linger" and should be resolved in a matter of months.

How To Make a Salad That Captures the Smoky Flavors of the Mediterranean
Video: It starts with a simple grilled eggplant, but the toppings—pomegranate seeds, feta, and tahini—make it a sophisticated dish
In his authoritative 1891 book on Italian cooking, La Scienza in Cucina e l'arte di Mangiar Bene (The Science of Cooking and the Art of Eating Well), Pellegrino Artusi wrote: "Forty years ago you could hardly find either eggplant or fennel in the markets here in Florence, because they were considered Jewish food and abhorred." Artusi was correct that Jews, who knew about eggplants from Baghdad and Iran, brought this member of the nightshade family to Italy and other countries. But as I walked through the streets of Florence this week, after a delicious Italian Jewish lunch at the Mama Florence Cooking School, I could see how attitudes about eggplant have changed in northern Italy. Today, few Italians "abhor" eggplant, which is now a staple of Mediterranean cooking.
Throughout my life of eating in homes and restaurants around the world, I've always ordered eggplant where I've found it on the menu, and I often beg the cook for the recipe. This burnt eggplant salad, which I adapted from Israeli chef and cookbook author Erez Komorovsky and Toto Restaurant in Tel Aviv, looks beautiful on the plate and has a lovely, smoky flavor from the flames of the grill, gas stove, or open fire. Like the eggplant itself, the toppings can easily adapt to suit your own tastes.

E4.1 Identification and Evaluation of Injury Circumstances Contributing to Crane-related Occupational Fatality-Moore PH, Pratt SG
Introduction: Cranes are used in a broad range of industrial settings to hoist and transport materials. Mobile cranes used in construction, mining, and transportation move between locations, often while carrying a load. Tower cranes are used at urban building construction sites where limited maneuvering room is available. Overhead traveling cranes are a necessity in heavy manufacturing, railroad and seaport operations. This study identified injury risks for workers operating or working near cranes and developed recommendations for injury prevention.
Methods: The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) was used to identify crane-related fatalities from 1992 to 1997. Results of 73 field investigations conducted by NIOSH's Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) program between 1982 and 1999 were evaluated to identify circumstances which contributed to each type of event.
Results: The CFOI identified 479 occupational fatalities between 1992 and 1997 for which a crane was the primary or secondary source of injury. Injury events included contact with objects and equipment (41%), falls to lower level (13%), contact with electric current (24%), and transportation incidents (10%). Injury circumstances of the fatalities investigated through FACE were 36 power-line contacts, 11 crane tip-overs, 11 rigging failures, 9 falls from cranes or suspended work platforms, 3 caught by or struck by crane components, and 2 incidents where the crane was in transport.
Conclusion: Crane fatalities can be prevented by implementation of safe work procedures including maintaining safe clearance between cranes and overhead power lines, operating within manufacturer's recommended capacities, using load monitoring instruments, and maintaining safe clearance between workers on foot and cranes.
E4.2 Work-related Fatalities in West Virginia: A Summary of Surveillance, Investigation, and Prevention Activities - July 1996 Through December 1999-Helmkamp JC, Lundstrom WJ, Williams JM
Background: From 1990 through 1995, West Virginia experienced a work-related death (WRD) rate of 8.9 deaths per 100,000 workers - the fifth highest rate among all states and twice the national rate. As a result, the West Virginia Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (WV FACE) program was established in 1996 to identify all WRDs, define work situations at high risk for fatal injury, investigate selected causes, and formulate and disseminate prevention strategies.
Methods: WRD surveillance and investigation data are used to describe trends and rates and identify hazardous conditions, unsafe work practices, and management-leadership problems through the use of the traditional epidemiologic model and the Haddon temporal matrix. Prevention strategies are developed and disseminated to audiences.
Results: From July 1996 through December 1999, 191 persons died from traumatic work-related injuries. The WRD rate was 7.6 per 100,000 compared to 4.7 for the U.S. (1996-98). Ninety-four percent of the victims were male and all Caucasian. Mean age at death was 43 years. Leading external causes of death included motor vehicle (48), struck by object (38), machinery-related (24), fall from elevation (15), and homicide (10). WRDs occurred most often in the transportation/public utilities (37; truckers - 22), manufacturing (32; loggers - 24), mining (28), construction (26), and services (25) industry sectors. Nineteen on-site investigations were conducted (10 logging, 5 machine-related, and 4 fall from elevation); no company safety programs, inadequate training, lack of oversight were consistently noted. Summary reports were prepared for employers, cause-specific Fatal Incident Alerts written for workers, and an article published in the peer-review literature.
Conclusions: The WV FACE program has contributed to a better understanding of fatal traumatic occupational injuries within the state and the importance of coordinated efforts by employees, employers, and safety and public health professionals to reduce the frequency and societal impact of these injuries.
E4.3 Functional Limitations Leading to Fatal Work Injuries of Farmers in Wisconsin-Tierney JM, Hanrahan LP
The WI FACE Program recorded 914 traumatic occupational fatalities from October 1, 1991 through September 30, 1999. Sixty-nine in-depth investigation reports were completed, including thirty-one cases of farm fatalities. In seven cases of farm fatalities, investigators concluded that the victims had pre-existing functional limitations that contributed to the fatal injury. Pre-existing physical conditions may prevent farmers from using equipment in the way it was intended, causing the farmers to circumvent safety features and methods. Examples include not being able to step up or climb onto a tractor mounting platform, lacking leg strength to depress foot levers, and not being able to dismount the tractor seat platform due to decreased flexibility of knee joints. Case examples with risk factors are presented, with recommendations for prevention.
The Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program was designed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to assist employers in preventing occupational injuries by identifying work situations at high risk for injury, and formulating and disseminating prevention strategies to those who can intervene in the workplace. The State of Wisconsin has a cooperative agreement with NIOSH to conduct surveillance, investigation and intervention activities using the NIOSH FACE model. All traumatic occupational fatalities are reported to NIOSH. In-depth investigations are done of selected cases of machine-related incidents, youth fatalities, and fatalities in the road construction work-zone. Injury circumstances and risk factors are identified and recommendations for prevention are written and disseminated.
E4.4 The Washington State Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program: High Risk Populations-Cohen MA, Sjostrom T, Clark R
The goal of the State of Washington's NIOSH funded Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program is the reduction of work-related traumatic injuries through fatality surveillance, field investigation of targeted incidents, and development and dissemination of intervention strategies to those who can influence safety in the work place. The Washington FACE surveillance system has identified a number of worker populations with elevated risk for traumatic fatality. This study summarizes the hazards for injury for these populations. Construction workers, agricultural workers, loggers and log haulers, minority workers, and truck drivers all have high risks of death while on the job, accounting for approximately 55% of the 194 work-related fatalities in Washington State in 1998 and 1999. Construction workers account for 17%, truckers 16%, minorities 15% (10% Hispanic and 5% non-white), logging-related incidents 11%, and agricultural workers 11% . Populations such as construction workers are exposed to hazards that one would generally expect, while the hazard exposure for others, such as agricultural workers is somewhat surprising. As might be expected, falls from elevation (45%) were the leading incident type occurring in construction, and truck drivers most often die in motor vehicle collisions (84%). However, drowning accounted for 24% of the agriculture-related incidents, while 24% were motor vehicle-related, and 14% were homicides. Only 14% of the agriculture-related incidents were machinery-related and 10% were tractor rollovers. Minorities are primarily involved in motor vehicle-related incidents (24%), but 21% were victims of homicide. This population accounts for 46% of all work-related homicides. Twenty-three percent of the logging-related incidents involved being struck by falling objects, while 36% were motor vehicle-related. Only with a better understanding of the circumstances surrounding acute trauma fatalities will we be able to prevent future incidents.

Vex'd are Jamie and Roly from London. Jamie just told me on the phone that they met at school (not in Bristol as I'd previously mentioned) and have known each other since time... But it was while in Bristol that they released their first two classic 12"s on the Subtext label. It was 'Pop Pop' (from Subtext 1) & 'Lion' (from Subtext 2) that caught my attention on their demo... I wanted to release Lion but they'd already cut it... so we decided to roll with the new stuff... first fruits were the 'Gunman'/'Smart Bomb' single which was followed by the 'Degenerate' album in June 2005 which I think opened up the idm and techno minds to the possibilities of dubstep... And has since gone on to be the best selling dubstep release so far. This was followed up in early 06 by the menacing 'Bombardment Of Saturn' showcasing a slightly more sinister sound. Their new stuff for the forthcoming album is sounding amazing, and i'm sure that you will all be blown away by it... meanwhile we will be releasing their remix of Distance's Fallen... deep

The Bush White House, suffering a yawning credibility gap from the Iraq war plus a global wave of anti-American sentiment, leaped on the press mistake and, even after a Newsweek apology and retraction, said the magazine should go further and "repair the damage" by "speaking out" about American values to the Muslim world. "The values that the United States stands for . . . the values we hold so dearly," as Bush spokesman Scott McClellan put it.
Reasonable citizens could not be blamed for rolling their eyes at such an exhortation. Indeed, what values has the Bush administration stood for and paraded before the world? For one, it can no longer be sanely disputed that this president led the nation into the Iraq war on a platform of false information. No stockpiles of "weapons of mass destruction" were found in Iraq. There was no imminent threat. Bush hailed our soldiers as heroes, but he sent them into battle without proper body armor or armored vehicles and without a large enough force or any real plan for restoring order after Saddam Hussein was ousted. Avoidable casualties have been the result. And the continuing scandal about the torture of Muslim prisoners needn't have happened at all if the White House had sent properly trained and disciplined units to run the detention centers.
Just what values does the loyal Mr. McClellan think all these policies and practices and behavior add up to? Does he really think we should present this list to the world as the sum of what America stands for?
Newsweek erred and has been deeply embarrassed and shaken. Unlike the president and his band, the press does make mistakes and, at least in the present era, it owns up to them.
But this story is much larger than a Newsweek article that may have contributed to unforeseen yet nasty mayhem. Our whole country is in an embarrassed and embarrassing state. We are deeply dividedfractured may be a truer word. People are uncertain and nervous about the future, yet the White House and its Republican-controlled Congress regularly paper over the war and serious domestic problems with little more than advertising slogans. And now the voters, from their separated clans and interest groups and political fraternities, scream epithets at each otherit's as if we have nothing in common as Americans.
The press is very much a part of this national dissonance. Over the past few decades, it gradually depreciated itself and dug its own hole. Even as the digital revolution enhanced reporters' fact-finding abilities and produced better investigative, serious journalism, the profession in other ways allowed itself to grow softer and looser. Gossip and celebrity chitchat crept into the news sections. We began covering the sex lives of public figures even when we could not demonstrate that their private indiscretions had any effect on their public performance or public policy. Remember the Miami Herald stakeout in 1987 at Gary Hart's townhouse that revealed his marital infidelity and ousted him from the presidential race? That was a landmark in the press's slippery slide. News became more like a game. It was entertainment. Later, of course, we gave the world the Monica saga of sex in the White House. Michael Isikoff, co-author of the Newsweek article currently in dispute, was a major unearther of the lubricious details back then. In devoting such investigative energy and resources to a love-nest story, the press took resources away from matters that actually have a tangible effect on American lives.
The press's proprietors and editors (some of the latter, to their credit, winced as they participated) told us that this was the necessary path to the future if we were to survive financially. They said we had to enliven newspapers and news on television so we could capture those 18- to 49-year-olds and thus draw the big advertisers who yearned to sell them things. "Get jiggy with it!" they told the newsroom doubters.
Almost without noticing, the press began losing its memory about its crucial adversary role. At America's beginning, the founding fathers, in establishing the fundamentals of this democracy, said a free press was necessary as one of the country's checks and balances. That explains John Peter Zenger and Thomas Paine and the First Amendment.
As amnesia about our history spread, the major news companies began making deals with the government. In 1991, you may recall, they agreed to accept the Pentagon's ground rules for covering the first Gulf war. The rules decreed that reporters had to be accompanied at all times by military babysitters who would not only select the story sites but pre-interview soldiers at those sites to avoid any lapses into truth telling. And that was how America, on television and in print, was handed its first major sanitized war. Another landmark. (The father of the current president was in the Oval Office then. Dick Cheney was the Pentagon chief.)

The barge was said to have been carrying 100 tonnes of oil
A barge from Kakinada was prevented from offloading 'stolen' oil at Paradip Port even as a fresh complaint was lodged on Sunday stating that the vessel is under control of 'rogue elements'.
"We denied permission to the barge to land in our area recently on knowing the fact that the vessel with the name Atlas Carrier was carrying stolen oil," an official of Paradip Port said.
The barge was said to have been carrying 100 tonnes of oil. Managing Director of Atlas Offshore Pvt. Ltd D. Ananth Reddy told The Hindu that that they lodged another complaint on Sunday to the police marking a copy to the SP, Jagatsinghpur (Odisha).
Alleging that the barge was 'grabbed' by one of their ex-partners, he said they had lodged the first complaint almost a year ago with the Mercantile Marine Department, Coast Guard, Navy and Kakinada Police.
"After coming to know on the attempt to offload stolen oil at Paradip, we decided to file another complaint," he said.
There have been several complaints in the past on alleged smuggling of marine gas oil by mid-sea bunkering vessels and transportation from mother ships to feeder vessels for supply to trawlers and mechanised boats. Customs officials had also picked up an Indonesian crew along with foreign currency in the past and are probing several cases involving mid-sea pilferage of oil.

Is there any way to slow her down to beat her?
Posted 22 September 2009 - 04:28 AM
Posted 22 September 2009 - 11:12 PM
this would best be in general or deck discussion... but yes there is...
if you're faceing the promo version easy way to beat her is build on your turn as fast as possible *she's not always gonna have that many foundations in hand* and brace yourself for her first turn attack string, she may not draw much and just have to drop her hand full of foundations down, then slowly set up a kill against her, it's not very hard i've done it numerous times against her.
against the rare, be ready to start rushing her very early and press her to make a mistake, easy to play against if your deck is of certain resources that can push her early like earth or fire, or if you have a good control base evil, void or order and never get frustrated into making a simple mistake.
that should help ya a little

A National League executive's reaction to Boston's signing of Keith Foulke:
"The Red Sox and Yankees are in this Russia-U.S. nuclear thing. The rest of the world just watches to see what they're going to do. "I wouldn't mind having the Red Sox pen. (Scott) Williamson has done it before and (Byung-Hyun) Kim has done it before, but one or two of those guys are leaving, I would think. We'll see what happens there. This is going to cause a domino effect. "I want to see what happens with Williamson and see what (Oakland GM) Billy Beane's next move is. He's got money to spend. I'm sure he had a Plan B all the time. That'll kick in now.'' A scout's take on the signing:
"I've seen a lot of Foulke. I like him. (He throws a) fastball (and a) changeup. He's going to come right at you, and if he gets ahead of you, he'll drop a little change on you. He can go 3-0, 3-1, 3-2 and throw that changeup for strikes. But at the same time, he likes to challenge you. "He's a true closer, and he won't have any trouble handling Boston. If he gets enough money, I don't think he'll be worrying about it.''

Dear Editor:
What a surprise! Ed Konecnik is in support of charter schools ("Charter schools break the educational monopoly," Opinion, March 13, multiple editions). I wouldn't expect anything less than for him to be on the wrong side of yet another issue.
He lauds his 38 years as a teacher as if that gives his opinion more weight. The only thing it proves is that he has opined as a professional for 38 years.
He complains that "the education bureaucracy's monopoly mandates a one-size-fits-all curriculum requiring everyone to read approved textbooks." I would think he'd approve since the content of the textbooks used throughout the United States is decided in Texas. That bastion of liberalism.
He continues, "The education monopoly should be charged with 'intellectual genocide.'" Konecnik should be wary of being accused of plagiarism. Isn't "Intellectual Genocide" the new promo for Fox News? Or is that the platform for the GOP in the coming elections?
Another note on charter schools: Eva Moskowitz filed suit to bar state Comptroller Thomas Di Napoli from auditing her 22 charter schools, all of which are publicly funded but also receive "private donations." State Supreme Court Justice Thomas Breslin ruled that DiNapoli did not have the authority to audit any New York charters because the schools are not "technically" units of the state. So let me get this straight, the charters can use space in public schools rent-free and receive funding from the state but are not "technically" units of the state?
Where are the private donations coming from? Anyone who thinks these donations are coming purely from individuals through the goodness of their hearts instead of an eye on future profits is kidding themselves. We already have a "for-profit" prison system. Wait, I think I see the big picture. Perhaps that's where they want the kids who are unable to attend charter schools to end up. Bingo $$$.

Non-HDTV over component

Re: Non-HDTV over component
Has any one been able to get HD576p to work correctly. I have a 36" Toshiba 36ZP48 CRT TV and am connected using component (nvidia 6150 MSI motherboard). I am able to get a progressive signal out but there 2 problems.
1. The image seems to flicker a lot (like running low refresh on a PC monitor). I don't know if this is normal for progressive. Does it have to do with refresh? I user VertRefresh 50.0.
2. There is extreme overscan, so much that I can not even the the task bar in fluxbox. I have tried playing around with TVOverscan, but doesn't help much.
I suppose when you set HD576p, there are certain reo****ions u select from the modepool, and you can only select only those. I have tried 720x576 (I am in PAL) but the image is overscanned (it's like the image is zoomed in).
Is there a way to override the modelines used ? I have seen many posts regarding modeline but have no found any 1 using the HD576p with those. Does HD576p just use some pre-set modelines or does it do more than that.
If any one has component working on a CRT tv I would appreciate if they can post their xorg.conf file.

11 year old lacking motivation?

Imagine paying a coach $75/hour for that, along with other tennis expenses.
I would LOVE to wave a magic wand and succeed in demanding a tennis girl at age 11-12 do this or that or the other. We have pretty much tried everything. But today's girls as they hit or approach puberty are amazing forces of nature.
But give us specifics.....what would you do when the girl's that age kid and joke and have low energy for tennis and have their mind's focused on some drama at school? Ground them, yell at them, forced laps....rewards.....punishments? Have you had success with that approach?
I am interested in your reply to see if I can apply your ideas to the realities of today's 11-12 year old girls. We all want to keep them away from drugs, etc. But please elaborate on your experiences motivating 11-12 year old girls to specifically work hard at tennis.
TCF do you charge kids to play in your group?
I have succeeded in forming two groups (of 4) for my two kids a mini tennis academy. I would like to charge $100 each for the six other kids per day (at least three hours of tennis) but many times they are freebies. Some of the cost goes to new cases of balls, paying top HS kids and college players to hit with them. I have noticed when money is involved it takes the fun and motivation away. When there is no money involved it is just pickup whoever shows up but I still have to pay for expenses, how are you doing it?

Zacks 1 and signal
Alcatel is cutting cost and sales seem to be improving.
You can have a successful company, for investors, based in socialist France.
it was what it is
ALU seems to have found credible technology that is in demand. Efforts being made to clean up the balance sheet and bring cost inline to improve gross and operating margins.
just not a good product
Because it is loaded with very valuable wireless patents. They have finally cut back on their unprofitable sectors. The new mgmt also seems to be putting the company on the right footing.
I am a novice investor, but I purchased ALU shortly before the new CEO took over, and from what I have been reading and watching the price, I would say this stock is headed in the right direction. I believe the company will continue to d oso for the next few years, at which time it will level off.
this company recently added 20%of new shares available only to French stock owners. They are available to them for only $2.90. I pulled out and intend to stay out. I look at this as a way for the French ALU officers to steal the company from the shareholders.
The restructing plan will bring FCF back to the company while more contracts for broadband equipment will be awarded to ALU. Both of these effects will grow the top and bottom line.
This stock has weak financial books and needs help. NOK is looking at them and needs them. If they can work this out it is an up side story.
Rationalization, Streamlining, New Contracts, New Hardware and Software.
4G and LTE networks are growing.
I have been buying all the way up!!!
Huge volume with positive outlook, 10% jump today
Seeing them winning lots of new business in the world.
Good value, cutting costs and focusing on their core business.
LTE and small cell adoption rates. Also, effectiveness of cost management.
With very little returns coming from the financial markets, Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse must have been chafing at the bit to lend money to/ invest in ALU. Most definitely not the ´´cap in hand´´ scenario that some may think.

Chris Brown is such a walking bag of dicks that I long ago lost words to describe him any more coherently or intelligently. He just fucking sucks. Funny enough, though, HE doesn't think he sucks. In fact, he thinks he's pretty amazing and that any woman should be so lucky to have him. Especially Rihanna! Yep, that's right. Chris actually claimed during an interview with The Breakfast Club that Rihanna will never do better than him.
Here's what he said when asked about Kanye West's line of "If you leave Mickey, you gon' end up with Goofy/I imagine that's what Chris told Karrueche" line in some Big Sean track that I don't know or care about (not because I don't love hip hop but because Big Sean is corny as hell).
"I feel what he meant by it, and I'm not just saying it as an arrogant statement. In any situation, when you look at yourself in a certain light – cocky or not – there's nowhere else to go. Even with [Rihanna], who else you gonna go to? [...] Who else in this game she gonna go to? Some corny singing rapper? What she do now, I got respect for her and all that, whatever her choice is. But at the time, not to toot my own own, but who hotter than me?"
The curry I ate for dinner is hotter than you, Chris Brown. Literally everything on this planet is hotter than you.
But I mean, come on, maybe Chris is right. How good did Rihanna have it with him? He only beat the shit out of her and refused to apologize or show any remorse about it and instead raged by breaking windows and ripping his shirt off like The Hulk whenever anyone dared to point his violent behavior out to him. I'm sure he was an AWESOME boyfriend!
Also, not to point out the obvious here, but maybe it's Chris that's ended up with a Goofy, considering he ended up with a woman who… kinda looks exactly like Rihanna (or is doing her best impersonation). Get out of my face.
Oh, and one more thing – Chris also has thoughts on the whole Tyga/Kylie Jenner situation:
"Whatever decision my man wanna make, I'ma rock with him. I ain't gonna fight none of his battles, but it's just like whatever decision you make. We see eye-to-eye on a lot of things, so I feel like I'll just tell him 'Aye man, if you was dating some regular weak chick, you wouldn't be talked about, nobody would care."
If you want to torture yourself, you can watch/listen to the whole thing here. You can also skip to about the 27 minute mark, where Chris – classy, classy Chris – talks about wanting to get both Rihanna and Karreuche pregnant at the same time.

Infant deaths in the United States are largely driven by premature and low birth weight deliveries, he added. In fact, in 2006, 54 percent of all infant deaths were among the 2 percent of infants born at less than 32 weeks of gestation.
However, death rates for late-preterm infants, those born at 34 to 36 weeks of gestation, were still three times those for infants born at term, the report states.
The three leading causes of infant mortality are congenital malformations, low birth weight, and sudden infant death syndrome. Together these accounted for 46 percent of all infant deaths. In 2006, 36.1 percent of infant deaths were due to preterm delivery.
Among black women the rate of these deaths was 3.4 times higher than that of Puerto Rican women and 84 percent higher than that of white women, the researchers found.
It's too early to know if the drop in infant mortality is a trend, Mathews said. "We had actually seen an increase to 2005," he noted. "It's one year. We don't get a trend out of one year."
Mathews noted that for a number of years, the infant mortality rate in the United States has been just under seven deaths for every 1,000 births.
These data are four years old, Mathews noted. But, when more current data will be available isn't known, he said.
Jennifer L. Howse, president of the March of Dimes, said that "we are encouraged by a 3 percent drop in the rate of infant mortality, but it's nothing to write home about yet."
Howse added, "What remains concerning is when you compare the rate of infant mortality in the United States to the 32 other industrialized countries, we still rank very low. It's very disquieting for rates of infant mortality in our country to still be as high as they are."

Photos of Britney Spears Picking Up Jayden James Spears in LA
Call Britney Now Before Her Night to Shine
by Celebrity
Like us on Facebook
Britney switched gears from pop star to doting mom to pick up Jayden James from school today with Jamie by her side. Tonight she'll step back into the spotlight as we tune in to watch the world premiere of "Womanizer" on 20/20 — you can even call her new hotline at (310) 341-4438 to leave a few words of encouragement. We'll have to wait another month to check out the documentary you're all excited about, but in the meantime, we'll still have our daily Britney fix and her new video we can enjoy watching over and over again.

Hopefully she can continue to take steps towards becoming a better mother for her kids -- so far she is on the right path! I do agree that we do hear about Britney CONSTANTLY -- but I still can't help but root for her! Those kids need their mummy.

aside from trying to be a good mamma, i think that it's not necessarily the best idea for her to go to school to get her boys. it's hard when you're so high profile that you know that you're going to get photographed, but i really think that it's not good for the boys since they are just getting back to normal. as for her new video - i'm very happy that she's got something new to share with us, and i can't wait to hear how it was received on the show tonight.

Thanks very much folks, its been very informative
Yes that's correct , I should have said that from the outset , sorry
Sorry I haven't explained myself properly, I mean is there anything detrimental that might hinder the production of home composting , in the recycling bin that I bought
No its more to do with the green recycling bin that you put grass cuttings etc in that I was referring to
Can anyone tell me, are there any plants or shrubs or flowers, that cannot go into the recycling bin. Any information would be appreciated, thank you
Has anyone got any surefire ways to stop slugs and the like eating everything I've planted,It seems the only things they dont like are onions and potatoes that are thriving well in the veg patch . I did hear marigolds would be beneficial , I planted about 20 of those and they disappeared also, I would appreciate any help , thanks
thanks again folks for the information
Thanks for the info, did'nt really think they would amount to much apart from being able to say I did get them to grow from a pip , thanks again
Hello, I have managed to grow from pips the start of what appears to be 2 apple plants and 2 orange plants,will these ever bear fruit as they get older or do they need to be grafted onto other stock. Any information at all would be helpful
Thanks for that , will have a shop round for it

That right there is a bad service department. The wearig down of the tires is from a bad alignment or they just didnt do one. After a tie rod replacement a alignment is needed. Also 140 per tire is a pretty good price. before venting about something do some research on the compitition.People tend tocomplain about things they nothing about.
