How can you tell the difference between a serious couple and "just good friends" in Korea, China or Japan? Easy. A pair of really committed lovers will be wearing the same outfit.
The fad has become so popular in Eastern Asia that perfectly matched couples fill the fashion pages of magazines, and shops are tailoring outfits that come as a pair.

Crystal Tao is from Chongqing, central China. She writes about fashion on her blog, "Love Love China: everything about Chinese girls".
The fashion is mainly targeted at heterosexual teens and young people. I found one of the comments left on my blog post about matching outfits quite funny; the person labelled the style as 'gay'. In fact, I can't imagine two boys wearing matching outfits!
You might think that only fashionable or non-conformist people would wear matching outfits. But it's not true. Take my elder cousin. She's far from teenaged, she's not particularly daring, but she is definitely in love with her husband. Just a few weeks ago I saw them wearing the same black and white T-shirt. I was quite shocked at first. But then I asked myself if I would do the same. Yes, I thought. People say that when you're in love, you're a little bit crazy - so why not?
Most cases of matching outfits include T-shirts. In my opinion, T-shirts are like a personal ad space which allow people to show a little bit of their personality, whether it be showing their passion for Metallica, cursing Microsoft, or just to say 'Shit happens'. Asians use T-shirts to show other kinds of things; to boast about their relationship.
Most Westerners think that matching outfits are childish. They can only imagine parents dressing their twin kids in the same stuff. Maybe it's because collectivity is valued as more important in Asian society. Another explanation is that public displays of affection remain something of a taboo here. Matching outfits are a kind of substitute for the lack of kisses and hugs they can share in public.
Of course if people break up, they don't wear the clothes again. The same applies to any meaningful item that a couple shares together. But these are just clothes. How about people who get a tattoo of their lover's name?"

What about our skinheads ,do you think it was love that shaved of their hair?Oops forgot Observers is for foriegn countries observations,nothing pleasant in the west to observe.P.S. My mate has corrected me,he says we are to absorbed with sex,it must look sexy ,thats all we can observe in the west.Well that is the main agenda in western society.It must be sexy,otherwise it dos'nt sell.
I'm American, too, and I thought this article was awesome. I think dressing the same is awesome. There's no reason it can't be sexy.
I too am American. I found this article interesting by showing how different we are from other societies. If you are going to criticize harmless customs of other countries, then you should not be reading foreign news, or at least should not comment on such news. Also, since this is foreign news, you are giving other readers who are not American stereotypical ideas to represent America as a whole. While I do not like most things about the USA today, I still do not agree with anyone forming stereotypes about America, especially since it is a country with such a large population.
Shut up, weirdo. I'm American, too, and I think this article is great!
I think it's sweet. It is not a new fad. Girlfriends and boyfriends in America dressed alike back in the 1950s and early 1960s.

Primitive streak is a science-art collaboration elucidating 10 key events in human embryonic development by artist/designer Helen Storey (London College of Fashion) and biologist Kate Storey (University of Dundee).
Helen and Kate first collaborated on the project in 1997 to create a series of fashion/textile designs, spanning the first 1,000 hours of human life. Producing these at London College of Fashion, Helen and Kate worked interactively using design at multiple levels to evoke the key embryonic processes that underlie our development. Elucidating the first 1,000 hours of human life in fashion and textiles. This collection has been touring for 11 years, and has been seen by 5 million people in 8 countries.
14 years on, Helen and Kate collaborated again to produce new dresses, which explore the science behind the development and function of the lungs. The full collection is 27 dresses, of which 10 toured in 2011.
A website was created for the project by designers DED Associates, which can be viewed here http://www.primitive-streak.org

Two Awards 'netted ... and What an Impact!
Aw Shucks: Bob Schoenen hugs Christie Jacobsen '00,
who is to receive the Impact Award under his arm.
(Photo by Michael Wilson)
For the third consecutive year, the Alumni Association has won an award from its Internet service provider, Harris Publishing, for best online newsletter. It also won Harris's first award for best broadcast e-mail (an invitation to Alumni Weekend). Harris has more than 300 online clients.
Michael Wilson, director of public relations, set up the original design of the newsletter, and web manager Christie Jacobsen '00 formats it. She also designs the broadcast e-mails when they use graphics. Content is provided by Alumni House staff.
The Harris award was just one of the reasons Christie received an Impact Award from Bob Two Awards 'netted . . . and What an Impact! Schoenen, vice president for institutional advancement.
Christie turned a becoming shade of cranberry when she saw staff from all departments in Colonial Hall waiting outside Bob's door. She got the award for her painstaking and never-ending work on the Moravian website.
Staff and faculty alike benefit from her objective eye, sense of design, computer skills, and generous attitude, all of which support her conscientious custodianship of Moravian's identity on the Web.

EDIT: I just realized that you have what I want...I like the silver. And the red (it would match the truck and toy hauler). What is your opinion? I'm not planning on taking it through the woods the day I get it or anything. I am planning on taking the intermediate riding course and the BMW course also.
I agree something cheaper and smaller to start is a good way to go. If you can find a very inexpensive used bike to ride for the first few months you can do your learning and possibily dropping with that. If you get a good used bike say 5 years old or more you can always get your money out of it when it comes time to buy your dream bike. After taking a class and getting a little riding in your have a much better idea of what you want for you.
We all have ideas of what the best bike is but that's the best bike for us. Right now I want to look at the new G650GS BMW two cylinder that's coming out. It might even be at your BMW shop now. The X series bikes are nice too but way too tall for me and will never be in my sights.
With that said V-Stroms are good bikes and if you can find a good used one it would be a good bike if you are going to start on a 650. The Buell Blast is also a good bike if it's only going to be used for road riding.
There are all sorts of great bikes out there to start on and it depends on what type of riding you want to do while you get a few miles under you and get comfortable with the bike.
I started on a 100 cc bike many years ago and it was the best for me. I also wasn't trying to keep up with "the big boys". The 200-250 cc dual sport bikes are great for starting on too. In fact I have a DR200 that I enjoy the heck out of because it's easy to ride and easy to turn around in tight spots, also easier to pick up if it goes over and it has.
There are lots of choices out there, sit on all the bikes you can, feel it, see how it fits you, leaing it back and forth, push it forward, back it up and most important find the bike that you connect with and not what someone else things you should get.
Good luck, I'll be waiting to see what you decide on for your first bike.

Philips brings "The Answer" to Medtrade: masks and service solutions support homecare providers and their patients in a new era of healthcare

Philips brings "The Answer" to Medtrade: masks and service solutions support homecare providers and their patients in a new era of healthcare09:00 EDT Tuesday, October 08, 2013
New technologies combine with industry-leading programs to improve patient care in the home
ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Philips Respironics, a unit of Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI), will welcome nearly 8,000 home care providers to the largest conference and expo focused on the home medical equipment (HME) industry. Medtrade opens today at the Orange County Convention Center. Advancing the theme "Moving the HME Industry forward," Philips will present integrated care solutions to help providers serve their patients in a new era of healthcare.
Homecare providers attend to the medical needs of millions of people who require sleep therapy, oxygen, inhalation drug therapy, and other aids in daily living. In a dynamic setting and 60x50 interactive booth, Philips will offer providers a first-hand look at its programs to help diagnose, manage and treat chronic conditions, including sleep apnea and respiratory diseases. Philips' solutions help homecare providers fill their needs as they are feeling increasing pressure in the changing healthcare environment.
"In a time when there are more questions than answers in the industry, we are committed to being part of the solution as Allies in Better Sleep and Breathing," says John Frank, senior vice president, general manager, Sleep and Respiratory Care, Philips Home Healthcare Solutions. "Our innovations are designed to help providers do what they do best: enable people with chronic conditions to maintain their independence and quality of life. The future holds promise for bringing quality care into the home. Providers are the key."
A complete portfolio of masks and services for improved patient care
Nuance, the industry's first gel pillows mask, launches at Medtrade. Offering exceptional comfort, seal and style, Nuance is the latest innovation in the Philips mask portfolio, which also includes Wisp minimal contact and Amara Gel masks. Attendees will experience Philips' entire portfolio of new masks and proven therapies in an interactive fitting station where visitors can see, feel and experience the mask innovations. This centerpiece of the booth is complete with comfortable seating, swivel mirrors and educational displays. Also featured in this area are Philips' medSage resupply and SleepMapper self-management system. This integrated approach to sleep management is the only comprehensive solution developed specifically to help boost compliance and resupply efforts.
Nuance, the new choice for sleep therapy
Nuance is the latest in a groundbreaking series of new masks designed to outperform traditional masks and improve patient satisfaction. It started with Amara, the lightest weight mask in the traditional full face category, and Wisp, the first hybrid minimal contact mask, pairing the best features of nasal masks and pillows masks. That innovation streak continues with Nuance.
Nuance delivers better performance, with a superior seal and less nasal irritation than the leading pillows mask.* With its sleek design, Nuance has been rated by patients as easier to assemble and use than the leading pillows mask.* Patients also have their choice of frame: the all-fabric frame and headgear ensures comfort with fewer red marks; Nuance Pro features a gel-padded frame and nonslip headgear.
Flexibility with Amara
With the new Amara gel option, patients can choose the type of comfort they prefer in their cushion. Both Amara clear silicone and gel masks are smaller and lighter than the leading full face mask, and have 60% fewer parts.* The new soft gel cushion conforms to the contours of the face, providing an exceptional seal and comfort.
REMstar SE
The newest addition to the System One sleep therapy family provides a robust set of features in an affordable unit. With REMstar SE, patients can enjoy comfort and compliance benefits, including Flex pressure relief, enhanced humidification with a heated tube option, and tools such as the EncoreAnywhere management system.
OmniLab Advanced
The OmniLab Advanced + multi-mode titration system, with OmniLab Direct and OmniLab Connect, is designed to help sleep technicians perform titration studies efficiently, easily and intuitively. With nine therapy modes, there's now enhanced flexibility and range to titrate more types of patients than ever before.
Innovation in respiratory care brings greater independence
At Medtrade this fall, Philips Respironics also announces new additions to its oxygen and ventilation portfolios:
SimplyFlo is a new choice for nocturnal oxygen patients. Weighing less than nine pounds, SimplyFlo is the world's smallest and lightest stationary oxygen concentrator. Designed to enhance compliance for patients who may be rejecting or resisting therapy due to the intimidating size and weight of traditional concentrators, SimplyFlo is a convenient, transportable option.
Trilogy with Mouth Piece Ventilation (MPV)
The Trilogy ventilators are designed for use in the home, hospital and alternative care sites, providing invasive and noninvasive ventilator support for adult and pediatric patients. The MPV feature incorporates a "kiss" trigger with signal flow technology which detects when a patient engages and disengages from the mouthpiece to deliver on-demand ventilation.
BiPAP AVAPS
Aligned with the same platform as Philips Respironics System One sleep therapy technology, the BiPAP AVAPS noninvasive ventilator provides the comfort of pressure ventilation and the consistent efficacy of assured tidal volume. Adapting automatically to changing patient needs, BiPAP AVAPS incorporates System One advanced technologies, such as Digital Auto-Trak, AVAPS and Heated Tube humidification, that help simplify patient care.
New this year, a number of Philips innovations will be part of The Medtrade Retail Design Center. The interactive exhibit was created to help providers develop a solid retail sales program. It starts with a sound design and careful consideration of product categories, display options and customer education opportunities.
"Our integrated programs and services offer a roadmap to the future," adds Mr. Frank. "They are the result of working with homecare providers toward solutions that can lead to healthier patients, healthier practices and healthier businesses."
For information on products being shown at Medtrade, please visit the Philips Respironics booth #901. Information can also be accessed online at http://www.philips.com/medtrade.

I started the day out by making breakfast for J and I. I just cooked 2 eggs on the stove, melted some cheese on them and put them on an everything bagel thin. They were very good!
I also added some watermelon and grapes to the meal.
I have been telling myself everyday that this is the day I am going to start running again. I have been using work, cleaning, rain and weather as excuses for way to long.
I told myself if I could just make it 20 minutes it would be an accomplishment.
I ended up going 54! I ran over 3.5 miles. Not great time, but I did walk some, and I am not really concerned about time anyhow. I was just glad that I was able to be outside running.
Everything looked so fresh and new!
Flowers were blooming, grass was growing and trees all had buds!
Some of the songs I listened to today were:
"Only Girl in the World"- Rihanna
"Just Can't get Enough"- Black Eyed Peas (awesome running song IMO!)
"Just Can't get Enough"- Black Eyed Peas (awesome running song IMO!)
Some old school Sublime
I saw a beautiful Doe run across my path, but she was too fast for me to snap a pic!
I had a bowl of yogurt, grapes, chia seeds and honey as an after workout snack
Zumba and the Beachbody workouts are fun, but running is my true love.
I am so excited to be reunited with it again!
I don't know what it is about running, but it makes me feel good about myself. It gives me time to relax and refocus on life and goals. I ended my run feeling much better than I have in a long time. I am excited to keep running and getting faster!
Since my birthday is in 14 days (yikes!) and I am going to be 29, I have decided to try to run 29 miles by my birthday, starting today.
You can keep track on my new running widget from daily mile.
I have no friends on daily mile yet, so if you use it (or want to start) please add me!

HPD: Red-light runner kills boy crossing street
HOUSTON CHRONICLE | April 11, 2014 | Updated: April 11, 2014 7:39pm
Photo By Mike Glenn/Chronice
A small makeshift memorial honoring the 6-year-old killed is shown on Lorraine at Elysian on Friday.
A 6-year-old boy was killed Friday after he was struck by a van that ran a red light on a road north of downtown, police said.
A white Chevrolet van was eastbound in the 1800 block of Lorraine, when the driver ran a red light about 11:50 a.m. and turned north onto Elysian, a one-way street, Houston police said.
The boy, his mother and another woman who were crossing a street were struck by the van. They were in the crosswalk, but did not have the signal to walk, said Jodi Silva, a spokeswoman with the Houston Police Department.
The boy was taken to LBJ Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
His mother also was taken to LBJ. The other female was treated at the scene.
The driver did not show any signs of intoxication at the scene, police said.
The investigation is continuing.

ACK FIVE: Bizarre Baby Products
By Jackie Burrell
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 at 11:57 am in Babies & Tots, Just Bizarre.
We're not usually paranoid, but maybe … a cabal of publicists is out to get us. How else do you explain baby products like baby tattoos, sanitized glovies, or the peepee teepee? Hint: those are not wizard hats to your left.
1. Anyone who's ever diapered a baby boy is familiar with the Unexpected Splash. Sure, you could drape a kleenex or washcloth over your son's member, change his diaper faster or just endure the occasional splashy surprise for the couple of weeks it takes for the problem to resolve itself … or you could spend $12 on a cone-shaped Peepee Teepee decorated with skulls.
2. Germophobic? Now, you can buy Glovies, disposable sanitary handcovers – aka plastic gloves – for your kids! Not just for nasty public restrooms, the ad copy urges. Your child should wear them on the bus, the supermarket and playground too. ($15 for 18 pairs. But if you're looking to turn your kid into the dweeb of the preschool set, plastic gloves are just 15 cents at the hardware store. We're just saying.)
3. You know when you go to the beach and get all damp and sandy? Your mom probably used that old trick of sprinkling baby powder or talc on your legs. The sand wipes away, without taking a layer of dermis with it. But now, through the miracle of modern marketing, you can buy a Powder Pouch! It's a $12 camouflage, drawstring pouch that holds your baby powder in case, ya know, the container the baby powder comes in isn't doing it for you.
4. Newborn doesn't look edgy enough? Have you considered a Baby Tattoo? Spiked pacifiers, strollers with flames and pirate emblems ($4.99) … because, as the ad copy says, "those innocent little minds do indeed have a darker side." Um, no. No, they don't.
5. And finally … can we interest you in Baby Perfume? For just $38.99, these perfumes will make your little darling, ages 1 month to 3 years, smell like marshmallows, citrus or raspberries. The alcohol-free mixture is so safe, says the ad, you can sprinkle it on your tot several times a day! And here we thought simply changing his diaper would make baby smell better.

West Memphis 3: 'This case has already eaten up 20 years of our lives.'
HBO has long said it's more than TV.
Monday (Oct. 10) the living proof of that ad, the West Memphis 3, took the stage at the cable station's New York City headquarters. The three men -- Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley -- attended the premiere of the third documentary, "Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory" chronicling the 1993 case.
"This is a little frightening," Echols says. "This case has already eaten up 20 years of our lives."
"I don't want it to be just forgotten," he says. "This happens all the time."
Were it not for HBO's dogged persistence in chronicling the railroading of the three then teenagers their story would have long been forgotten. The three spent 18 years in prison for murders they always maintained they did not commit. Echols was on death row.
This documentary, the third filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky made on the topic, is dedicated to the victims. Stephen Branch, Christopher Byers and Michael Moore were 8-year-old Cub Scouts, who were savagely murdered, raped and mutilated and left in Robin Hood Hills in West Memphis, Ark., on May 5, 1993.
The suspects were freed in August under a little known, and less-understood legal maneuver, the Alford Plea, allowing them to maintain their innocence but saying they were guilty. This confusing agreement was not anyone's idea of justice, but the boys who walked into the prison left as free men.
"It's a compromise and basically an offer we couldn't refuse," Dan Stidham, Misskelley's pro bono lawyer from the beginning, says after the screening.
Had the three continued to appeal, there was always the risk they could have lost as they had in the past, despite that no physical evidence linked them. Misskelley, who has the intellectual development of a child, had initially maintained his innocence. During the endless interrogation, he finally told police what he thought they wanted to hear.
The other two never waivered in maintaining their innocence.
The first film, "Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills" (1996) shows how savage these murders were, including footage of the slain boys' small naked bodies. Within a month, the arrests are made. The suspects had a proclivity toward heavy metal music and wearing black, though how those tendencies made them the sole suspects for the brutal rapes and murders of children is never clear.
In the second film, "Paradise Lost 2: Revelations" (2000) John Byers, stepfather of one of the murdered boys, is so wracked with anger and revenge that he appears to be a suspect. When he sets fire to the grass of where the bodies were found and stomps on what he proclaims are the West Memphis 3's graves, it's hard to not consider him at least unhinged.
The third film redeems Byers, but he and many others question Terry Hobbs, stepfather of Stephen Branch. Hobbs has no alibi for where he was during the murders, and a hair that matches his DNA was found on the ligature used to hogtie the boys.
"I find it really difficult to point the finger of guilt at anyone after what we have been through," Baldwin says.
There could well be a fourth installment, which Sheila Nevins, head of HBO's documentary department, did not rule out.
"If the story needs to be told, we will tell it," she says.
The lawyers who worked for years to free them are not giving up.
For now, the three are adjusting to life on the outside.
Baldwin shows his learner's permit, and plans to start taking driving lessons next week. He went to prison at 16. He's working in construction. Echols, still wearing all black, is in New York City, where he can walk unnoticed.
"I am acclimating myself to being among people again," Echols says. "I have been in solitary confinement for 10 years. I am writing again and trying to capture this while it's still new. Every day is like a week. In some ways I feel like prison was years ago already."
HBO plans to air the documentary in January.

28) I get 44 times at right angles. I was too lazy, I only counted 22 from 6am to 6pm.
What is the answer for a seven-hour clock and a fourteen hour day?? Do you know Ganesh? I don't.
The reason I ask is because with a 12 hour clock the 9 and the 3 are at right angles to the 12 at the top, so
the answer is less than 12 x 2 for 12 hours, but a seven hour clock would be weird, or a 5 hour clock too.
Hmmm.... I'll have to ponder this more later...
And I only see 42 times accounted for! I must have lost count around the dial.

32. A, B, C, D, E, and F are sitting on six chairs placed around a round table, not necessarily in that order. A is between D and F. C is opposite D and D and E are not sitting next to each other. Which of these pairs are sitting next to each other?
(i) A and B (ii) C and E (iii) B and F (iv) A and C

48. What is the maximum value of n such that 100! (100 factorial) is divisible by 6^n?

Why did the vector cross the road?

Absolutely right, mathsyperson! Well done!!!

oh my! I cannot believe no one answered (10)!!! It is so easy!

Well, I don't blame you, I just counted in my head, and only got 20 once around.
But then 10 minutes later I tried again and got 22 again. So it's easy to mess up in your head.

Maybe I just missed it, but I never did see an answer to #5.
I don't really see anything that would exclude the possibility that the two numbers are the same number, so... 0 and 0 would be the smallest.
If you insist that these numbers are not only arbitrary whole numbers, but also disctinct, then I guess 1 and 0 would be the smallest.
Am I understanding the question here??
the answer to #4:
she sold 3 to the first customer, 1.5 to the second customer and .5 to the 3rd customer for a total of 5.
I would guess that question 5 wants you to find two distinct natural numbers, as allowing them to be equal or 0 would trivialise the question.
The answer to 4 is slightly wrong as well. The 3rd customer doesn't get the right amount of oranges, and the question also states that she never cuts an orange in half. You're nearly there though, I think you just made a slight mistake there and it carried forward.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
4. The total I got is 7. Eeyore, you must have made some calculation errors.
The girl sold half of what she had and 1/2 of an apple. The 3rd customer got (0+1/2)*2, which is 1. the second got:
The third got:
The total would be 4+2+1=7.
I shall be on leave until I say so...
good job Landof, I don't know what I was thinkin, if she started with 3 and did all the stuff the problem says she did, she would still have half an orange left.
49. How many squares are there in all in a chess board? (Treating 2squares by 2 squares as a square etc.)

Using the same method as above, you should also be able to prove that the total number of rectangles on a chessboard (counting squares as rectangles) is .
Q: Who wrote the novels Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse?
Outstanding, Identity and Jane Fairfax, for that simple and elegant proof!!!
Character is who you are when no one is looking.
50A. A farmer has a piece of land of the shape given in the uploaded image (1001A). He has four sons. He desires divinding the land amongst his four sons. The four sons aren't very smart, they insist on the pieces of land being of the same area as the original land and also the same shape.
How would he divide them as closely adhering to their conditions as possible?
50B. Problem Same as 50 A. However, the land owned by the farmer is this time of the shape given in uploaded image 1002A. Same concundrum, same condition. How did he do it?

51. There are two candles. Both are of same height but different diameters. One burns for 4 hours and the other burns for 3 hours. Both of them are lit at the same time. After what time would one be double the height of the other?

Trillian: Five to one against and falling. Four to one against and falling Three to one, two, one. Probability factor of one to one. We have normality. I repeat, we have normality. Anything you still cant cope with is therefore your own problem.
Excellent, NullRoot!!! Your answer is perfectly right!!!

Well, it had to happen. Lonnie and Jeanna are going to be off doing rodeo things this weekend so Jim and I will be manning the market tent this Saturday. Jim is excited about seeing everyone - I'm a little hung up on the idea of having to get up at 3 am.!
It's been a busy week here. There has been a cleaning frenzy going on - crops are coming out, ground worked, fall crops seeded, and cover crops planted in areas that are done for the year. Jim has been brush hogging all the weeds around the fields and a general tidying up is going on as things slow down in the veggie department. It's nice to finally have time to do some of the projects that just don't get done when we are so busy.
At market this week we'll have a few tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, melons, onions and potatoes, winter squash, pie pumpkins, a little asparagus, some fresh figs, more of the European and Asian pears, apples, and whatever else we can get picked. It's Labor Day weekend, so come stock up on some of the fruits of our labor!
Can't wait to see everyone!

From KCCUA's Community Farm
We've had hundreds of questions about and requests for green beans. I'm glad everyone loves them. I know everyone has noticed their absence from our stand this year. Have you checked out other stands at the market? How about other markets? Are you finding green beans? I've been talking to area farmers and not one has had beans since June. Scary. The truth is July and August were just too hot. I remember seeding a bed on July 3 as the neighbors were sending off fireworks. The plants came up. Looked beautifully promising and the temperatures got hotter. And hotter. Promising plants started to set blossoms. Then it got hotter and the blossoms dropped. The blossoms dropped from the next planting and now we're looking at the third planting hoping against hope that what are now tiny one-inch beans will size up by Friday. We want to pick some beans and we really want to sell some beans. Cross your fingers and mean it.
So, if we can we'll bring green beans. Otherwise, you'll be able to find edamame at our stand, lots of potatoes, winter squash, leeks, green onions, beets, carrots, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, tomatillos, eggplant, sweet peppers, hot peppers, summer squash, microgreens, funky fresh braising mix, sweet potato greens, a new crop of arugula, Malabar spinach, basil, fresh herbs and garlic.
We do appreciate your loyalty to this market and to local food. We're grateful to be walking this path with you bumpy as it may be at times.
See you Saturday.

A major search and rescue operation was sparked after the three failed to return home on Sunday.
Darren Thorpe, 41, and Mark Thorpe, 39, were both from South Shields, South Tyneside, and Gavin Bradley, 36, was from Jarrow, South Tyneside.
It is believed the three men had planned their trip and knew the river well, but had encountered challenging conditions after heavy rainfall.
Chief Supt Gordon Milward of Northumbria Police said: "The weather was unpredictable, in terms of some very heavy showers, and the river was higher than usual and fast-flowing. They would be challenging conditions for anybody."

No, not the Connie Francis song – I'm talking about where the BUYS are. We know (and we've mentioned before) that we're partial to email marketing. But you're wondering about the profitability of marketing via email and whether or not there's any impact when you're using email to market products. Which emails are sure to get opened?
If you're a credit union marketer, you have a particular challenge when it comes to email marketing, and a particular advantage to answer it. Your problem:
- getting members to buy/invest more at the credit union,
- getting them to recommend the credit union to friends, and
- finding a way to get either done with a limited budget and in a limited space.
What's the advantage, you're asking? Take a look at this chart from eMarketer Daily.
According to this chart, financial emails are getting read between 60 and 70 percent of the time. When you send your eStatement reminders every month, your members are going to open them for a look-see. Why not start branding them and adding in links/ads for other services and support from your institution? Push new products and rates, or encourage members to tell a friend and promote your credit union to potential members in the community. Take advantage of the relationship you've already established and a high open rate. That's where the buys are – smart, well-placed ads that tell members and potential members what they need to know.
As Liz Miller of CMO Council says:
"Irrelevant, impersonal communications, be it email or traditional mail, is a waste as it does not engage a receptive recipient…It is no surprise that consumers are opting out of irrelevant emails. However, what is a grave sign for marketers to heed is that customers will disconnect and stop doing business with brands who continue to send messages that demonstrate a lack of intimacy, customer insight and individual understanding."
Email marketing works best when you can tailor it to the target. If you're interested in getting members. The DigitalMailer Automatic Relationship Builder helps marketers do just that. How?

SEX sells. It may be a cliché, but given the astonishing impact of Viagra, few can disagree. This diamond-shaped blue pill so dominated the scene in 1998 that even the Nobel Prize in medicine was billed by many newspapers as honouring the discovery that led to Viagra.
In fact, the Nobel prizewinners showed that nitric oxide dilates blood vessels, and does so by stimulating production of a smooth muscle relaxant called cGMP. Viagra, developed by researchers working for the drugs company Pfizer in Sandwich, Kent, works by blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase that breaks down cGMP. The resulting increase in blood flow to the penis allows two-thirds of previously impotent men to achieve an erection.
But this discovery was an accident, made in 1992 during a trial of the drug then known as UK92-480, as a treatment for angina. Pfizer researchers found that many men enrolled on the trial reported ...

UNH is now 1-6 overall while Providence is 4-6.
The Friars utilized their two corners to build a 2-0 lead in the first half. Amy Phillips' initial shot from the top of the circle was stopped by UNH goalkeeper Christine Buckley (Walpole, Mass.) but Lauren Sickel was in front to lift the rebound into the cage at 19:56.
On the next PC corner, Phillips' shot from the top of the circle went into the cage. Melissa McGow and Kati Lary were credited with assists on the tally, which came at 32:01.
UNH trimmed the deficit to 2-1 on its ninth corner of the half, which came as time expired. The initial shot from the top of the circle by Brittany Schneider (Middletown, Md.) was blocked by PC goalie Meredith Jones but Emily Colton (Milton, Mass.) was in front to shoot the rebound into the cage.
Providence College reestablished a two-goal lead, 3-1, at 40:53 on a low shot by Melissa Kroslak. UNH responded less than four minutes later, however, to once again pull within a goal, 3-2, at 44:06. A centering pass from the left corner was deflected by a PC defender in front of the cage, but the ball trickled to Caitlin Gillen (New Preston, Conn.) at the far post and she shot the ball into an open cage.
Play continued to flow up-and-down the field following a PC timeout at 45:20. The Wildcats pushed the ball into the offensive zone in the final 30 seconds, but could did not record a shot or force a penalty corner.
Buckley finished with five saves defending the UNH cage while PC's Jones was credited with seven saves.
New Hampshire returns to action Sept. 26 (2 p.m.) for its America East conference opener at Northeastern University. The next Wildcat home game is Oct. 1 vs. UConn. Game time at Memorial Field is 7 p.m.

By Joel firstname.lastname@example.com Last year, Riverdale Fire Services made more than 300 Riverdale homes safer by installing, checking, and replacing 500 smoke detectors, free of charge. Starting this weekend, the department will go into the community once again, with the hopes of exceeding last year's efforts. Every Saturday in October, firefighters and community volunteers will canvas neighborhoods, making sure residents have working smoke detectors. The kick-off for the campaign will take place this Saturday, Oct. 4, from 11 a.m,. to 3 p.m., at the corner of King Road and Highway 85. The smoke detectors, made possible through a grant from the Georgia Firefighters Burn Foundation, serve as a primary defense for families and firefighters, according to Stephanie Burton, public safety educator for Riverdale Fire Services. She said, due to the success of last year's campaign, the community has become more involved. "Last year, it was just the fire department" going door-to-door, said Burton. "This time, we have help from various organizations. It is going to be a complete community effort." Burton said that last year, 95 percent of the homeowners visited by firefighters participated in the program. This year, volunteers will target the northwest sector of Riverdale, which has many homes which were built in the 1950s and 1960s -- before smoke detectors were standard. In addition to distributing 400 smoke detectors over the next four Saturdays, the department plans to install 25 detectors which monitor both smoke and carbon monoxide levels. Burton said carbon monoxide, an odorless gas which displaces oxygen, can be a "silent killer" for people living in older houses. "The carbon monoxide/smoke detectors are for older homes with gas furnaces from the 1950s and '60s," said Burton. "It is possible that they are still operating, but may be leaking carbon monoxide, and regular smoke detectors can't detect that." Dewayne Earnest, Riverdale fire chief, said smoke detectors are "the first line of defense when it comes to fighting fires" and help prevent an unnecessary loss of life and property. He said people living in homes with smoke detectors are twice as likely to escape and survive a house fire. "Having a working smoke alarm in your home is like having a firefighter in your home 24 hours a day, seven days a week," said Earnest. "A fire doubles in size every five minutes. Anytime we can get early warning and early detection, that basically gives us more time. "If we can save three to five minutes, we can save a lot more property," said Earnest. Burton said installing the smoke alarms decreases the chance a firefighter will have to enter a burning home to save its occupants. She added that the campaign allows firefighters to learn the floor plans of the homes they are protecting. "When we go into these homes, we don't know what these homes look like," said Burton. "When we install the smoke alarms, we can actually get an idea of the layout. It allows us to get to know not just the people, but the structure of the neighborhood, inside and out." Free smoke alarms are available to Riverdale residents throughout the year. To inquire about the program, contact Stephanie Burton, Riverdale Fire Services public safety educator, at (770) 909-5463.

The parliamentary committee on Agriculture is proposing a ban on exports of some agricultural produce to encourage value addition and job creation in Kenya.
Committee chairman John Mututho, will today seek parliament's approval to prohibit export of raw cashew nuts, raw pyrethrum, raw bixa or raw macadamia.
The Naivasha MP proposes that those intending to do so should have the written authority of the Cabinet Secretary and approval of the National Assembly.
If passed, a person who contravenes the sub-section will be liable to a fine not exceeding Sh10 million or imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years, or both.
This is part of the amendments to the Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food Authority Bill.
The new act will provide for establishment of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Authority and make provision for the respective roles of the national and county governments in agriculture. The bill is awaiting debate in the committee stage of the House.
The Authority shall ensure that there is fair competition in the sector, with no dominant undertakings as defined in the Competition Act of 2010.

Playdead's black-and-white puzzle platformer Limbo will launch for iOS devices next week, the Danish developer announced today. The game will be available for $5 on July 3.
Limbo for iOS devices will feature an "amazing touch-based experience" and is compatible with iPad 2 (and higher), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (and higher), and the latest generation of iPod Touch.
The game sells for $15 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita, while the PC/Mac version is available for $10.
Playdead said in a statement that its ambition has been to bring Limbo to as many devices as possible. This model is paying off for the developer, as the company also announced today that the game has sold 3 million units across PS3, Xbox 360, Steam, Mac, and PS Vita.
Limbo puts players in the shoes of a small child who must find his way through a black-and-white world, filled with puzzles and dangerous, often deadly, obstacles.
The game won critical acclaim upon release, which was followed by a small avalanche of award nominations that yielded multiple Interactive Achievement Awards and a Game Developers Choice Award.

I get such RAVE reviews when I make these. The only changes I make is that I use Malibu Rum instead of regular rum...it's what I have on hand and personally I prefer it because the flavor is much more mild and I'm not a big rum fan. I definately feel this is a recipe that you should ALWAYS DOUBLE as they will disappear quickly. And they really do get better after a few days...they just don't normally last that long! haha
I wouldn't suggest trying to crush the ingredients with anything other than a food processor. It just gives you a totally different type of cookie. I most like these when the cookies and nuts are ground to an almost powder consistancy. That way you taste the 'cookie' not the 'ingredients' if that makes sense to you.
I followed the recipe to a "T" and found the rum flavor to be overwhelmingly strong and the texture of the cookie extremely dry. I have made rum balls in the past that were much better. I remembered that the recipe then had called for 1/2 c. oil and much less rum.

These were the hit of every party I took them to! - so delicious! Only thing I do different is toss them in granulated sugar rather than confection - the sparkles look nicer.
These are awesome!! I made them last year and they were a hit! I use Bacardi Vanilla flavored rum instead of plain rum and it gives it a little something extra, and this year I will triple the recipe, due to the high demand!! I also throw the nuts and cookies in the food processor to make sure they are ground up finely.
These rum balls are awesome. I have tried many recipes that are often mucky and a pain to make. These are perfect. I used a food processor then stirred in the cornstarch and rum. As we like lots of flavour, I used dark rum and dissolved 1 tsp. of instant coffee in it first. In Canada nilla vanilla wafers come in a box slightly under 12 oz. and so I didn't use quite the full amount of rum...just added it until I got a cohesive dough. Then rolled the balls in chocolate sprinkles which is our tradition. Thank you so much. My family are going to love you this Christmas. I know I will be making them each year from now on.
If I had to sum up this recipe in one word, it would have to be yumyumyummy!! These cookies are not only beautiful, but they taste wonderful. Unlike many holiday confections, the longer they sit, the better they taste! I highly recommend using coconut-flavored rum in this recipe. My boyfriend and I tried two batches--spiced and coconut, and coconut just happens to work and taste better. Thank you for your recipe.
This is a winner! Thank you Leslie! Have made several times for various get togethers and have received raves each time! Use of a blender to powder both the wafers and the nuts (in several small batches) makes this quick to prepare too. Two tips: 1) after blending mixture with spoon, use hands to further blend until dough is evenly moist; 2) use of small metal 1" meatball-shaping tongs produces uniform, perfectly rounded rum balls. Also, the 2-3 days in an airtight container is essential for full flavor.
I took these to a cookie exchange party and won most outstanding. I used almonds for the nuts and ground them in a coffee grinder until very fine. Wonderful cookie with no baking!!!

In fact, heading into UK's Southeastern Conference Tournament opener on Friday, Stallworth was guaranteed to play just two more games as a collegian.
That made the moment when she picked up her second foul early in the first half against Florida and the nearly 18 minutes on the bench that followed particularly painful.
"It was very frustrating, but my assistant coaches and Coach (Matthew) Mitchell just did a great job of just helping me to stay in the game and I think that really helped me in the second half," Stallworth said.
With Stallworth unable to play due to foul trouble, UK appeared on the verge of a third defeat at the hands of the Gators and an early SEC Tournament exit. The Cats were down 36-29 headed to the locker room and could not be certain of how ready Stallworth would be to contribute in the second half after being out for so long.
Stallworth -- in spite of being adversely affected in similar circumstances in the past -- was sure she'd be alright.
"In the past I would probably get frustrated and check out but I knew my team needed me," Stallworth said.
She was anything but checked out when she checked back in.
Within 45 seconds, she hit her first shot of the game, a layup. In the next two minutes, she had a pair of steals as UK rallied to within one point of the Gators by the first media timeout of the second half.
All told, Stallworth scored all 13 of her points after the break, hitting 5-of-7 shots and adding four second-half rebounds, but she was hardly the only Wildcat to step it up as UK (23-7) rallied to a 75-70 victory over Florida (19-12). With the win, the Cats set up a semifinal matchup against top-seeded South Carolina at noon ET.
Florida built its halftime lead on the strength of inside play, leading Mitchell to issue a challenge to his post players.
"I thought we sort of stepped back from the challenge in the first half," Mitchell said. "We didn't have a lot of toughness in the post in the second half of the first half. I just didn't think we were competing very hard in the paint. I thought Florida was much tougher in the first half."
The next time he was in front of his team in the locker room postgame, there's no way he could have said the same.
UK had 22-16 rebounding edge in the second half and 42-29 for the game en route to outscoring Florida in second-chance points, 16-6. The Cats also had 20 of their 34 points in the paint after the break.
"I thought our play on the interior really stepped up and battled there and played tougher in the second half," Mitchell said. "We made some real tough buckets."
UK would need every basket it could get because the Gators simply refused to wilt.
When the Cats took their first lead of the second half on a Linnae Harper free throw, Lily Svete answered with one of Florida's 10 3-pointers to put the Gators back in front at 53-51 with 9:30 left.
Two freshmen orchestrated UK's response, scoring or assisting on each of the Cats' next four baskets. Makayla Epps started the stretch with a pretty pass to DeNesha Stallworth for a layup before Linnae Harper grabbed a defensive rebound and hit a step-back jumper. Epps took back over from there, feeding Stallworth for another layup, then taking a pass from Stallworth for a layup of her own.
"Their result today was because they've been working so hard and they're extremely talented," Mitchell said.
Epps and Harper combined to help UK build a five-point lead, but there were no signs of the Cats pulling away, at least not until Stallworth hit a layup with 2:15 to go to give UK a six-point advantage. But those in The Arena at Gwinnett Center who thought the outcome was no longer in doubt quickly learned otherwise.
Cassie Peoples, who tied for the game high with 18 points, hit two 3-pointers in less than a minute sandwiched around a Stallworth turnover. The game, all of a sudden, was tied at 70-all with 1:29 to go.
This time, UK turned to more veteran players.
Janee Thompson (10 points, five assists) hit a jumper to give the Cats a lead, Samarie Walker had a clutch tip-in and Stallworth hit a free throw as UK came up with defensive stops on Florida's final three possessions to close it out.
"Florida played really, really hard," Mitchell said. "They have a very good basketball team. Beat us twice this year. Our players have worked really hard to improve since the last time we played them. So it was very gratifying to win this game and also to shake off a very poor first half."
The Cats couldn't help but go back to what happened during the 15 minutes that followed the first half in explaining why they were able to do that.
"The way we responded in the second half shows how much poise we really had going into the locker room," said Jennifer O'Neill, who scored eight of her 11 points in the second half.
That poise manifested itself in a unique scene.
The Cats always spend halftime discussing what they did well in the first half and what they need to improve in the second, but usually only a select few voices are heard.
Not this time.
"That was the first time I heard everybody say something," O'Neill said. "From that moment, you could just tell that people were listening to what Matthew was saying about having poise, about coming out and playing for the first four minutes."
South Carolina another third-time challenge for Cats
Florida was responsible for two of UK's losses in SEC play, but the Cats got a measure of revenge on Friday.
In a Saturday semifinal, UK will look to do the same against South Carolina.
The Gamecocks have taken down Kentucky twice this season, most recently in a dominant 81-58 performance in Memorial Coliseum on Feb. 20.
"We have to play better defense than we did in Lexington," Mitchell said. "We didn't have a good defensive night at all. South Carolina really took it to us that night. We're going to have to battle a lot harder."
The Gamecocks shot 52.6 percent from the field in that game and 57.1 percent in a 67-48 quarterfinal win over Georgia on Friday. South Carolina certainly looks like the SEC champion and a potential NCAA Tournament No. 1 seed, but UK is not without reason for optimism.
"I think this team has worked really hard since that game as well," Mitchell said. "It's going to be a really tough game, and we just have to get our minds ready to battle for 40 minutes."
