Rated 4.7 out of 5�by 29 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Tri-Eric Bright light! Bought this to use on my pre-dawn runs since many of the streets I frequent don't have streetlamps...or sidewalks for that matter. This light is extremely bright and has made me feel a lot more visible to those bleary eyed motorists who may not be on the lookout for a runner in the dark. I also use this on the handle bar of my bike along with a 200 lumen headlight and red flashers on the rear to make my bike more visible from the front. August 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by RAT Runner Feel Safe on the roads @ night I often run w/ a headlamp but in a recent race i was required to have a blinking back light, this was simple to use, i could attache it to my hat, my waist, my shirt collar... pretty much anywhere and it did not cause me any discomfort or distraction. Lght and simple to use. Loved it. July 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jeselaine Perfect for a night run I used this product during a night race. It was very reliable. I was able to see others who were wearing it in the fog. This light clips on to your clothes and stays in one place. I did not have to worry about it falling off. The light had two strobe settings and it was easy to turn on and off. May 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Alan1 Just what I was looking for Perfect to clip on my dog's collar when she goes out at night--that's why I bought it. It's just the right size , slim and lightweight for my dachshund. Good price too! May 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Kim "Strobe" light not accurate. I did not want strobe and almost did not buy it. Finally read there were 3-4 settings so I then assumed I could use a steady light. Also, able to turn on to test - that was awesome. March 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Shinegirl5 Great light Brighter than you would think being so small. I have been able to use instead of a headlamp on darker morning runs! January 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by ClassyKim just what I needed I love my little lights! They help me feel safer when on my walks after dark, which is most of my walks this time of year. January 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by honey1 Great for early morn or eve. bike rides Great for my early morn bike rides. It is easy to use, I like the strobe best. November 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ana83 Perfect for running at night I used it for a ragnar race it was exactly what I needed clipped on easy and had the blinking light feature November 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Margaret320 This product shines very brightly and attaches easily. I was concerned about running early in the morning in the dark. I purchased the strobe light to attach onto my running gear. It is very light but shines very brightly. You can either set it on strobe light or constant on. I would highly recommend this product.

Is syndication an option that still exists? TNG and DS9 were both sold to stations across the board back in '90s, regardless of owner (although most turned out to be FOX). It's not really a mystery how the viewership dropped off (VOY-ENT), if the ratings that were being totalled up came from fewer stations by the end. The exclusivity UPN had with Star Trek killed it, especially if they were expecting to have impressive figures from places that weren't even showing it, let alone at a time when it was supposed to be on.
If my memory serves me the Ratings started to drop after TNG Season 5 and just continued. DS9 lost viewers too.

i would have chosen syndication had that choice been available but from the ones listed i picked CBS but every market has that...whereas not all markets have syfi or spike. and not every cable user has showtime. and not everyone has cable.
Well I was once told that a new season of Stargate would go straight to Sci-Fi and then a year later it would in to syndication or something. Why not?

You forget that the state of humanity has been improving continuously. Yes there are some bad and we may very well always have them, but the world is more fair, healthier, more compassionate, than it has ever been. Do you think there was more peace love and happiness a 1000 year ago. hell no back then life ward hard and incredibly cheap. the average life span was 35, disease was rampant, and governments were essentially dictatorships, ie kings that ruled by decree, based only on whats is good for them. People world over were tortured, crucified, burned at the stake simply for having different beleifs. Do you see what is happening in Iraq and Syria, with ISIS and Al Queda. that was how the whole world was their was not escape no refuge and no heroes.
It's common for young people to be grim. Chin up, all! The best is yet to come.
I'm with you Incognito. I think we are an evolutionary screwup myself.
But would someone exterminating the vast majority of the human race be a good deed, or would it just be another atrocity for you to be horrified by?
Well animals would go on hurting each other, and maybe without humans to serve as a point of comparison it would end up seeming like a similar level of continuous atrocity. Y'know, cats torturing mice, baby praying mantises eating each other, tarantulas turning the insides of mice to liquid... (mice have it rough). It's less, uh, planned out and deliberate and sadistic, but it's still living things suffering and dying all the time, continuously.
I really can't understand people who see the good in the world.

Solaray Activated Charcoal is derived from a special high-quality grade charcoal. Charcoal is made from wood or other natural materials by heating them in an airless environment. Charcoal used for health conditions is usually "activated" to make it a very fine powder, which increases its effectiveness. Activated Charcoal can chemically attach, or adsorb, to a variety of particles and gases, which makes it ideal for removing potentially toxic substances from the digestive tract. Activated Charcoal is not absorbed into the body, so it carries adsorbed substances out of the body in the feces.

Getting The Most Out of Your Laptop Battery
Date: Monday, February 12th, 2007, 09:06
Category: battery
Anyone who has purchased an Apple laptop knows that the battery life is significant. I specifically remember getting four hours of life (full screen brightness) with my first G4 Powerbook. As time advances, the battery, processor, and electronic technology grows; and with it comes the ability to produce a portable that is more efficient and energy conservative, yet still has the performance that consumers require.
As time with your laptop advances however, the battery on your system may begin to lose its charging capabilities. What was once four hours of life, turns into three and a half, then to two and a half, and so on and so on. Throughout your system life, the greater portion of the time you will never use your laptop until the battery is empty. More or less you will use it for a little, then plug it back in, take it off, plug in again and so forth. The process of doing this can miss-calibrate the battery to the point where it will not allow maximum storage capability and lower your battery life.

Last night in Arlington, Cleveland's Lonnie David Chisenhall muscled enough offense to beat every other team in baseball, all by his lonesome. Technically his 5-5, 2B, 3 HR, 9 RBI line would have tied the Nationals' 9-run effort, but we can only assume had he faced Washington in extras, Lonnie would have plated another 6 or 7 RBIs.
Following an abysmal, often Little League-looking May, Cleveland is 9 of their last 10, including a sweep of division-leading Detroit. Cleveland fans, as Cleveland fans often do, are dancing a frenzied do-si-do on their Jump to Conclusions Mat. Following a 17-7 fustigation of Texas, post-game chatter swapped confused formulae regarding Chisenhall's eligibility for the AL batting title and updated playoff projections from Baseball Prospectus. While it's hard to blame their excitement, we need to put on our Jim Mora voices and say, "Batting title? Batting title? …Batting Title?!"
See, Cleveland fans are leafing doodle-scrawled algebra notebooks because Lonnie Chisenhall started the year riding pine. Spelled by C/1B/3B/DH Carlos "Swiss Army Knife" Santana at the outset, Chisenhall hasn't notched enough plate appearances for his .385 average to qualify for the league lead, and probably won't until after the All-Star break. And why would Tito Francona bench what seems to be a stud hitter?
…Because Chisenhall is infamously streaky. Pickedtwenty-ninth in the 2008 MLB draft, fans dubbed Chisenhall the Future of the Franchise. But in 3 years of big-league service, Lonnie showed whelming skill at best. 2013 saw him bat .225. His hot corner glove often seemed to be made of Swiss cheese. As early as last May, most writers shackled the dreaded b-word around his neck: bust.
However, when penciled into Cleveland's starting 9 this season, Chisenhall has done nothing short of set the world on fire. Following his 5-5 clobbering last night, Lonnie Chisenhall's 2014 heat map looks like this:
Though regression to the mean seems inevitable to some degree, there's good reason for optimism. From 2011-13, Lonnie carried a paltry .194 average against lefties. Through 51 games of 2014, Chisenall is clubbing like a rapper's girlfriend, hitting.520 against southpaws. His strikeouts are down. His line drive percentage is up. Even when Nick Swisher gets healthy and Santana finds his swing, it's hard to see Lonnie Baseball riding any more pine.
The term "All-Star" buzzes around Lonnie. He won't garner enough votes to leap-frog Miguel Cabrera or Adrian Beltre, but if Lonnie continues anywhere near his current pace, it would be difficult for AL manager John Farrell to leave him off the roster. So for now, go ahead and unfurl that Jump to Conclusions mat, Cleveland. Just don't leap too far ahead.

"I never thought I'd be sending out so many thank you notes after having a baby. These are great, simple notes that include the baby's picture and signature on the bottom. I get tons of compliments on them. The paper quality is great!"
"I got this for Thank You cards after my daughters 2nd birthday party. They're pretty adorable. The paper is nice and thick but I was just ever so slightly disappointed with the photo quality. It's probably just the photo I chose or the fact that it's on this thick paper (it just wasn't as clear and smooth as I thought it might be). Overall, I thought it was a great card and would recommend."
"Has always been excellent service and fast shipping to Canada!. I continue to use them for every occasion for our little one."
"I am absolutely in love with these thank you cards. I was browsing the shower invitations while on the phone with my mom (she was ordering invitation) and I saw the one that matches these...it was my favorite. Well...I didn't need to order my own shower invitations but I followed the link to the matching thank you cards and found these. They are fabulous! The quality of the paper is excellent...nice and thick. The colors look exactly like the do online and all the printing came out wonderful. I LOVE the back of this card with the colored/patterned water drops...it's such a nice touch. I got the Kraft colored envelopes and they are a wonderful match...well worth the minor additional cost. I also ordered the matching address labels (which I love as well) and everything works together beautifully. I can't wait to order my birth announcements from this company...they truly have a wonderful product and I can't wait to start mailing out these thank you cards after my showers."
"I really liked how sturdy the card is on its own. Although on my computer screen the colors are distinctively light blue, when I received this item I felt that the shade was closer to an aquamarine green. No biggie, I liked them just the same. I do wish I could have changed the "thanks" for "thank you," as I think it's slightly more formal. Having the option to change the top and bottom wording was really nice. I can honestly say I recommend this product."

Nokia Surge goes after the kids
Nokia has announced a new handset on the AT&T network in the US aimed at social networking fans.
Called the Nokia Surge, the exclusive handset will offer a landscape slider design with a full QWERTY keyboard that appears from underneath the screen.
Available online and in AT&T stores on 19 July, the Nokia Surge, according to the operator is "an ideal device for active consumers who like to stay connected whether using IM, text or email, sending multimedia messages".
Get past the marketing blurb and you get a 2.4-inch QVGA screen, 3G connectivity, a rather disappointing 2-megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom, GPS, stereo Bluetooth, microSD card slot, 128MB of internal memory and the promise of 4.7 hours of talk time.
The specs however don't suggest Wi-Fi or any other colour other than black.
Running the Nokia S60 interface found on its higher end devices, the Surge promises Flash video support for watching videos online and Facebook on-the-go with the pre-installed JuiceCaster application.
Priced at $79.99, no word from Nokia whether it will be coming to other operators in the US or to the UK.
We will keep you posted.

Joe Alain, pastor of Hebron Baptist Church in Denham Springs, Louisiana sent me a noteworthy comment regarding the use of "shock and awe" doctrines within the Southern Baptist Convention. Here's Alain's analysis:
I am about half through a book that I think you would find insightful and interesting. The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism (2007) by Naomi Klein is a fascinating work. The basic premise of the book is that many economists in the Chicago School tradition of Milton Friedman have employed shock doctrine tactics around the world by bringing their particular brand of capitalism to countries in the midst of crisis. As countries and economies are reeling, policies are able to be enacted that under ordinary circumstances (i.e., by being honest with the people) would have never been tolerated. Stated another way, people in countries that are undergoing crises (real or imagined) are willing to give up their voice and personal rights to the so-called experts (enter Friedmanian economists) no matter what the costs.I heartily agree with Alain. Fundamentalism has been as disastrous to Baptist life as Friedman's economics has been to capitalism.
"From Chile in 1973 to Iraq today, Klein shows how Friedman and his followers have repeatedly harnessed terrible shocks and violence to implement their radical policies" (book jacket). Joseph Stiglitz of the New York Times Book Review states, "Klein provides a rich description of the political machinations required to force unsavory economic policies on resisting countries and of the human toll. She paints a disturbing portrait of hubris, not only on the part of Friedman but also of those who adopted his doctrines, sometimes to pursue more corporatist objectives."
Come to think about it, many leaders in the Southern Baptist Convention have been using shock doctrine tactics for some time, creating imagined crises and enemies, then supposedly supplying the authoritative (doctrinally correct) magic fix. Usually the solution that is authoritatively mandated down from the top involves the rank and file church members ceding more cherished Baptist doctrines, such as the freedom to interpret Scripture, have a differing view on a non-essential doctrine, or vote on a matter of church polity. Unfortunately, most Southern Baptists are not aware just how much they have lost because they either never appreciated what they had or they themselves are still reeling from the "awe." Sadly, the average Southern Baptist member today has little knowledge of the fundamental and philosophical shifts that have been made in the SBC. Even as a pastor, busy working my parish, I did not realize until recently just how far things had gone. Something akin to Rip Van Winkle waking up after a twenty-year nap, I too have been awakened and dismayed.

Vegetarian needs to impress meat eater
So my uncle's coming for dinner. A couple of things to know: 1- He's got some cooking skills. 2 - He makes fun of me like crazy for being a vegetarian. 3 - We can both be a tiny bit competative at times. 4 - I won't touch meat, but my husband can play sous chef for me if necessary.
Do I even attempt to impress him with a vegetarian meal? (I'm leaning towards no, as he doesn't like vegetables much at all). I'm thinking a meaty main, and veggie sides. But what?
If I do cave and do meat, it needs to be top notch. I don't do meat in my house unless its going to blow them away. No simple grilled steak. He like rich food, no drop of fat is spared. Even for the veggie dishes, they've got to be good enough for a vegetable hating meat eater. Help me create this menu!! Specific recipes / links would be helpful.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

Re: Blu-ray: Casino Royale, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Rocky Balboa and more soon...
It looks like Casino Royale is doing well. Apparently, it is the first hi-def movie to make Amazon's top ten list (normally dominated by the standard-def versions).
In another high-def first, the Blu-ray edition of 'Casino Royale' cracked the top ten on Amazon's DVD top sellers list upon its release Tuesday, peaking late in the evening at #8.
Updated hourly, the Amazon list tracks all video disc sales at Amazon, including standard-def DVD, Blu-ray and HD DVD. And while the top of the list is usually dominated by standard-def DVD releases, some early adopters have made sport out of tracking how next-gen releases on both formats stack up in Amazon's overall rankings, spawning at least two frequently updated head-to-head charts (at HdGameDb and eProductWars ), and countless posts on our own Smackdown Forum.
The strong performance for 'Casino Royale' at Amazon would seem to back up predictions that the latest Bond flick would score record-breaking overall first-week sales for a next-gen disc. The current record holder is the Blu-ray edition of 'The Departed,' which as we reported last week is said to have sold a total of 20,000 units in its first week out last month.

Silverman: Predicting rate hike a guess for anyone
I tend not to predict. When I do predict, I more accurately call it a guess. And one of my guesses is that interest rates will go up. Now I'm not saying when they'll start heading up. But with interest rates still at or near historical lows, I'm thinking this is a pretty safe guess.
Whether this will be a good or a bad thing depends on your viewpoint: If you borrow money, you like interest rates to stay low. If you loan money, you like interest rates to be high — at least for new loans. Let's examine this.
For the borrower, low interest rates mean one of two things; both have to do with the fact that they'll spend less on interest costs than they would have otherwise. They can use that savings to buy something more expensive or use it for other expenses or savings. This is the reason why the Federal Reserve is keeping interest rates so low ... it helps stimulate the economy by allowing people to spend more than they would have otherwise.
For the lender, low interest rates are not so good, because they'll earn less interest. Take a bank savings account, CD or a Treasury bond. Putting your money in the bank or buying a bond makes you the lender, meaning you'll get paid less interest. If you've looked at the interest you're earning these days, you know that low interest rates are pretty sad.
Now, if you purchased your bond or CD several years ago and they haven't matured yet, you locked in and still enjoy a high rate of interest (at least high compared to what's around these days). But when they mature, you'll be stuck with whatever the current rates happen to be. Savings accounts are variable interest accounts. So what you get follows current rates.
If my prediction (guess) is correct, interest rates will eventually go up. That will make new borrowers sad. People that already borrowed money may or may not be sad, too. If they locked in a fixed interest rate, like many mortgages are, then their interest costs will remain the same low rate. But if they have a variable rate loan, then when interest rates go up so will their interest costs. Hopefully they will be prepared for this.
If you have a variable rate loan, then run some calculations. What if interest rates go up to what they were before the financial crisis? What if they go up to hyper levels like that of the early '80s? I want you to be ready, just in case. There's no problem having variable rate loans as long as you can handle the worst-case scenario.

Some perspective from 93 years ago on Greece threatening not to pay back its monstrous debt to German and other banks.
Opposition to proven preventive measures is not a left-right issue - and metaphorically, it also affects a lot of businesses.
In the past few days, a mighty attempt has been made by various Media Creatures to shoehorn a controversy over a measles outbreak and non-vaccination of children into yet another left-right bipolar fight.
A Greek election may offer a glimpse of the future - or a brief detour to a failed past.
This past Sunday, Syriza, the Coalition of the Radical Left, won a large victory in Greek parliamentary elections over the main establishment parties, the center-right New Democracy party, led by Andonis Samaras, the Movement of Democratic Socialists, led by George Papandreou, and the already shriveling Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK), recently led by Evangelos Venizelos, and founded by Papandreou's grandfather.

Some things we've learned in several decades of scenario planning.
Errol Morris's documentary on Donald Rumsfeld is in the theatres. The film, plus a companion four-part series on the former secretary of defense in the The New York Times, raises interesting questions about knowledge, uncertainty and corporate strategy.
Has no one noticed the main fact about our country over the past 13 years?
A couple of years ago I wrote an article entitled Strategy's Main Failure: The Extermination of Livelihood.
In it, I came up with the hypothesis that much of what has passed for "strategy" the past decade or more had actually been about cost cutting, and in particular, cost-cutting of the largest line-item: labor.
Is the current California drought about climate change or some periodically recurring rainfall shortage? The experts don't agree. Which is why planners affected by this situation should rigorously think through multiple scenarios -- and their implications.
The economy in 2014 is certainly on a much stronger footing than it was a few years ago, but is this as good as it will get for the U.S. consumer?

Oh, think twice. It's just another day for you and me in paradise.
— Phil Collins
I figured the email was another one of those mass mail-outs trying to land as many gullible suckers as possible — like the baldness, impotence and diminutive junk cures and the African princes that need a money conduit — and I almost deleted it without a look.
Something caught my eye, though, and I clicked aboard. The contents were interesting, to say the least.
Evidently some pastor of a church far away had gotten wind of something I'd written and took exception to it. So much so, he took it upon himself to try and set me back on the path of righteousness. And while I initially appreciated his concern — goodness knows I can use all the influence in high places that's available — by the time I finished reading his self-serving diatribe, I felt unclean from having read it.
This was no spiritual guidance. It was a political rant that, essentially, warned me that some of my views indicated I'd drifted away "from the teachings of the one true God." That those "teachings" tended toward far-right propaganda that I've never seen nor heard associated with the word of God was a pretty strong clue that the good reverend had his own agenda at heart.
After I read the email — and, yes, I was thoroughly cheesed off when I finished — I did a little Web search of my would-be benefactor. What I found made me even madder. Seems Brother Righteous was the kind of gentleman not above promising favor from God, at the right price. He was so concerned about the souls of casual Internet surfers (or shut-ins who had no access to his weekly sermons) that he promised a soul-cleansing experience for as little as $20 a week.
There were additional benefits for the truly righteous who felt "led" to give him larger donations, essential, he assured readers, for his continued efforts to enlighten the needy as to "God's will."
I was talking with someone I hold in high regard about my brush with divine intervention, and she said something that struck me as quite profound: "There's no telling how many people there are in this country — and in our community — who need God in their lives but avoid Him because of their experiences with these so-called pastors and reverends and apostles and ministers and preachers who are out for only one thing: themselves."
A quick look at the declining church rosters across all denominations in our country shows that this lady's cynicism is shared by many. The once-stunning revelations of good men doing bad things — the Jimmy Swaggarts and Jim Bakkers and Eddie Longs and Ted Haggards and the Catholic priest scandals — have become, sadly, so commonplace, we're only mildly surprised now when one surfaces. And while it's probably more laziness and indifference that keep people out of churches than true righteous indignation, such hypocrisy by purported religious leaders certainly doesn't help.
Charlie Daniels had it figured out a long time ago: "He said Jesus walked on the water, and I know that it's true. But sometimes I think that preacher man would like to do a little walking, too."
My brief electronic encounter with the Right Reverend Righteous left a bitter taste in my mouth, but it did not spark a desire to proclaim blanket condemnation. Thankfully, in spite of the truth noted by my acquaintance above, there are some pretty amazingly spiritual preachers right here in Albany and in churches both large and small all over this great land.
If you're convinced that your spiritual leader's works show he or she is such a person, you should embrace them and be thankful. Such people are part of an increasingly diminishing species.

Clare is a town in St. Lawrence County, New York, United States. The population was 105 at the 2010 census.
The Town of Clare is in the south-central part of the county and is south of the Village of Canton, the county seat.
The Town of Clare, formed in 1880 from part of the Town of Peirrepont, was the last town formed in the county. Madam De Stael, a French author, at one time invested in the town lands, on the advice of her friend Gouverneur Morris, while it was still part of Pierrepont.
A history in 1894 indicated that almost no business existed in the town, and there were no organized churches.
The Clare Town Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 97.3 square miles (252 km2), of which, 96.6 square miles (250 km2) of it is land and 0.6 square miles (1.6 km2) of it (0.67%) is water.

There were 106 housing units at an average density of 1.1 per square mile (0.4/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 95.54% White, 1.79% Native American, 0.89% from other races, and 1.79% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.89% of the population.
There were 46 households out of which 28.3% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 65.2% were married couples] living together, 4.3% had a female householder with no husband present, and 28.3% were non-families. 26.1% of all households were made up of individuals and 8.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.43 and the average family size was 2.91.
In the town the population was spread out with 24.1% under the age of 18, 6.3% from 18 to 24, 28.6% from 25 to 44, 27.7% from 45 to 64, and 13.4% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 43 years. For every 100 females there were 111.3 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 107.3 males.
The median income for a household in the town was $26,667, and the median income for a family was $36,250. Males had a median income of $25,625 versus $50,833 for females. The per capita income for the town was $14,453. There were 6.7% of families and 12.8% of the population living below the poverty line, including 6.5% of under eighteens and none of those over 64.

Bobby Knight and Rece Davis called the Vanderbilt and Kentucky men's basketball game last night on ESPN and the ending was baffling for the former Indiana basketball coach. Bobby was having a hard time telling the difference between the game clock and the shot clock in reference to Nerlens Noel's made bucket with 17.3 seconds left. It was very clear that the clock hit zero, and Nerlens shot shouldn't have counted. Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings was none too pleased with the outcome, and rightfully so. Watch the video especially starting around the 50-second mark, and you will understand the Knight struggle. Kentucky held on to win 60-58. [USA Today] Article found on: Cosby Sweaters

Spring is the time to put up a bluebird house. Whether you live on a small lot or ten acres, you can attract bluebirds. The Eastern bluebird is one of the most gorgeous and lovely birds you will ever see. But it is important to monitor your box, or you might end helping the dreaded English Sparrow procreate! Read on to find out how we got started on this adventure and a few things we learned along the way.
My first face to face meeting with an Eastern bluebird occurred a year or two after we moved into our house on five acres in northeastern Montgomery County. A bird was stuck in the wood stove, and when I opened the door, out flew a bird whose beautiful bright blue color was only slightly masked by the ashes in the stove. Helped by my parents, ardent bird lovers, my husband and I started a bluebird trail that we have monitored for some twenty-six years. Soon my neighbor followed suit, and we now have collectively at least 20 boxes over ten acres that we have been monitoring for many years.
Bluebird houses must be built to specifications, or if purchased, be labeled specifically for bluebirds. (Too large a hole, and you will get species you do not want.) If you build or buy, you should make sure that your houses are easy to open. Otherwise, you won't be able to monitor your houses, and you might as well put up a welcome sign for that bluebird-killer, the English Sparrow! (The English Sparrow will peck open the heads of bluebirds –- not a pretty sight.) It is best to mount the houses on poles and not on trees, but my son-in-law successfully attracted bluebirds to a box mounted on a tree in Gaithersburg!
Over the years, we have dealt with just about every kind of predator: snakes, raccoons, ants, humans, and English Sparrows to name a few. Then there is competition for nest boxes from house wrens, chickadees, and tree swallows. Here are a few tips for dealing with predators and competitors. Learn to identify nests so you can successfully monitor your boxes. That messy English Sparrow nest -– pull it out of the box! (Some birders actually kill the English Sparrows. It is legal to do so since English Sparrows are non-native species but I have never had the heart to kill them. I just keep removing their nests until they figure out that they are not welcome. One time, I did trap one and drive it to a McDonald's!)
If you want to avoid House Wrens, don't erect your boxes too close to woody areas. And because House Wrens are territorial, they often fill neighboring boxes with their twigs (see picture at right). If I see too many houses filled with twigs (the wren's M.O.), I remove them from the boxes that bluebirds prefer.
Bluebirds seem to prefer houses in open fields but not too far from a tree to which the babies can fly upon leaving the nest. Tree swallows and chickadees are lovely so I leave their nests alone, and have fun monitoring them as well. Some people use pole guards to deter snakes; we have used carpet tacks. We have also applied tanglefoot or other gooey stuff to poles to deter insects –- they get stuck in it.
It is most important to monitor your boxes –- you won't scare away the parents! Open the door, and check for nests. Once you see the neatly created bluebird nest, look for the bright blue eggs. (Sometimes they are white.) Have fun watching the babies develop from tiny snail-like creatures to the adorable speckled and feathered babies.
It will take the fledgings up to 22 days in the nest before they will make their first flights. You can check on them but try to avoid opening the box near the end of their stay in the box.
These are just a few tips I have learned over the years. The bluebird was in peril before human intervention helped them stabilize. (Human actions probably contributed to the decline in the first place, but that's another topic.) If you want to join others in helping the Eastern Bluebird flourish, check out these websites for more information!

Power running met air attacks as Nate Rodriguez and AA No. 5 Valley City opened East Region action on the road against Zak Hernandez and Grafton on Friday, but defense made the difference in the end.
Up 20-14 late in the fourth quarter, Grafton held on a goal line stand for the upset.
Eli Allen's five-yard first quarter touchdown run completed a 70-yard drive. Hernandez's two-yard run tied it at 6-6, but Rodriguez's rushing touchdown and Cody Halverson's two-point catch in the second quarter put Valley City up 14-6.
Saturday's meet in Fargo turned into a major gathering of Eastern Dakota Conference powers and other schools from Minnesota and North Dakota. It was good preparation for EDC [Regionals], which will be coming in only four weeks.
Solid performances were turned in by several Hi-Liners; tough competition, cool weather and a flat course led to several personal-best times. Every one of the Hi-Liner boys competing had a PR for [his] respective distance. Several of the girls had their best times of the season.

Investments between China, BRICS countries to rise
Posted by AFP on April 12, 2012
HONG KONG, Apr 12 – Close economic ties among BRICS countries, especially after the New Delhi Summit, will most likely result in further cross-border merger and acquisition (M&A) deals driven by Chinese companies in other four economies, said Deloitte, a well-known professional services firm, on Wednesday in its newly released report.
BRICS, grouping Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, represented a gathering of important emerging economies which were playing an increasingly big role in world economy during last decade.
Statistics showed that in 2011, 27 deals worth a total of $9.8 billion were made by Chinese bidders in the other four countries, the same number of deals that were completed in 2010.
"Chinese investment enthusiasm into the BRICS has remained strong as economic growth in these, and other emerging markets, has remained relatively intact despite global uncertainty," said Lawrence Chia, co-chairman of Deloitte China's global Chinese services group, in a press conference held in the day.
The aggregate GDP of the BRIC countries (before South Africa joined in late 2010) has almost quadrupled since 2001, from around $3 trillion to between $11-12 trillion in 2010.
The fourth BRICS Summit was held in New Delhi on March 28-29, under the theme of BRICS countries' commitment to the partnership of stability, security and prosperity, where leaders of the five countries vowed to strengthen cooperation and boost inter-trade among the BRICS economies.
Deloitte forecast that emerging economies will grow by five percent in 2012, compared to a figure of 1.2 percent for developed countries.
As a co-writer of the report, namely "Lateral trades – Breathing fire into the BRICS", Chia believed that cross-border investments between China and the other four BRICS countries will pick up over 2012 and beyond, as "comparatively more attractive growth fundamentals in the BRICS help encourage Chinese businesses to invest in those jurisdictions, as opposed to developed markets".
The report also mentioned that "the desire to escape intense competitive pressures at home" is another reason that leads to Chinese companies' increasing interest in acquiring in the BRICS.
"Chinese bidders are keen on acquiring energy and resources assets as China seeks to increase the supply of key commodities to support its infrastructure development and the production of consumer goods," said Chia.
Statistics showed energy and resources sector accounted for 95 percent of the total deal value and 29 percent of the total deal volume in 2011.
Chinese consumer businesses, looking to expand into fast- growing overseas economies, became another power in the past acquisition activities.
Data showed that outbound consumer business and transportation investments into the four economies from 2009-2011 accounted for 4.5 percent of overall outbound M&A activity by value, while over the 2005-2008 period, this proportion just stood at 1.2 percent.
Meanwhile, Deloitte reminded bidders of cross-border M&A risk within the BRICS, where effective counterparty protection is likely to be lacking.
Chinese companies should gain a thorough understanding on their target markets and conduct a complete integrity due diligence on their targets and local partners, Ronald Chao, leader of financial advisory services of Deloitte China, told media.
The latest Deloitte report examines all announced M&A deals undertaken between bidders from China and targets in the BRICS from 2005-2011.

I don't understand it right now at all. . . it seems all the things that should drive gold forward are in a holding pattern and I sold the last of mine at a loss.
Posted 30 April 2012 - 06:09 PM
It's easy to analyze these things when you don't actually have any money invested...
I was ahead by 50 pips or so last week trading forex and then made a stupid greedy mistake and went against my own system again(and lost of course)... this stuff is a battle against yourself most of the time.
I have to let the trade come to me and not chase after it.
Posted 30 April 2012 - 06:19 PM
now, thinking I was some kind of player I went and bought it... but that didn't work out either...
all in all I'm glad that i only play with pocket change for now.

Will it jump hard before July? I don't know. Predictions like that entail a certain amount of fore knowledge of various things. Such as policy/actions/talk by the fed, commodity market slumps or jumps, etc.....(as if Julius doesn't know this already)
I'm holding onto my buys.
Right now, everything is down except PriceSmart Inc. Which is up 20% from my initial purchase and climbing.

Federal Reserve allows Chinese-controlled banks to take stakes in US banks
The US central bank said Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), the biggest bank in China and 70.7pc owned by the government of China, will become a bank holding company.
In addition, China Investment Corporation (CIC), an investment vehicle set up by the Chinese government to invest its massive foreign exchange reserves, and another company that CIC controls called Huijin Investment will be allowed to become bank holdings companies.
They will become holding companies by taking control of The Bank of East Asia in New York, the first time a Chinese bank has been approved to acquire a US bank.
ICBC has total assets worth an estimated $2.5 trillion.
Karen Petrou, a banking analyst with Washington Research Group, said that by becoming bank holding companies, the Chinese firms will be "ring-fenced" from their home country supervisors and will be subject to US law and supervision.

they seem to be pretty good, and obviously have a lot more experience than me.
I figure that they aren't interested in steering customers wrong because they want them to be successful and continue business. There is no commissions, only the spread. They're basically hedging their money by letting traders use it... it's all pretty interesting...
and yeah I still don't know a lot about why the Yen does what it does, but it's kind of opposite what you would think... they try to keep their currency valued low over there because they do a lot of exporting or something... not sure but it might have something to do with that... maybe the central bank needed money to fix the damage after the accident... don't know really, but that sort of makes sense.
I just make sure to have a stop all the time, and if the risk/reward ratio is less than 1:2 I stay out.
For now, it's just a fun way for me to get used to reading charts and placing trades.
Posted 20 May 2012 - 06:37 AM
did anyone buy at 1550 like I said?
I'm psychic.
You owe me a beer or something TASB. I'll let you tell me the story about how the entire economy could be run on a single ounce of gold while I drink it and laugh.
Now if only I could understand why something you can't smoke is worth 1550 an ounce...
Posted 20 May 2012 - 07:40 AM
the price is under the 200 period simple moving average which usually means it's in a downtrend.
It looks like it's going sideways... stuck in a range.
I'd place a protective stop at 1520
Posted 20 May 2012 - 10:46 PM
Based on this, and also the speculative sentiment index which is a contrarian indicator and shows a 6:1 ratio of long to short positions, I'm selling the NZD/JPY...
Posted 21 May 2012 - 06:55 PM
I said you should buy at $1550 because I figured it might not make it down that low, but anyway, now it's up to $1590...
are you jizzing in your pants?

Harvest Leaf Napkin Ring
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
These Harvest Leaf Napkin Rings from Gloria Uhler will add a beautiful touch to your Thanksgiving table. Made with simple clay and painted with the colors of fall, these lovely napkin rings are just the thing to help create a lovely table display. Don't want to paint them? Leave the napkin rings as is. Even as simple white leaves or feathers, these napkin rings are universal for any reason or season.
- Sculpey Ultralight Clay
- Leaf stencil
- Rolling pin or cylinder for rolling clay smooth
- Craft knife
- Plastic spatula
- Acrylic Paint (Red, Daisy, Dark Green)
- Aztek airbrush
- Foil covered cookie sheet
- Wax paper
- 1.75" round metal cookie cutter or napkin ring
Cover your surface with wax paper. Break off a small fist size piece of clay to work with. Knead it a few minutes until it becomes a bit soft. Pull it into an oval shape about 1/4" thick. Place wax paper on top of the clay. My finished napkin ring measures 1.75" round, so I rolled my clay out to a length of about 5" to allow for joining the ends. Roll across the clay until it is the right size and the surface is smooth. Peel off the wax paper.
Place a leaf stencil on the clay followed by wax paper and roll across it to transfer the leaf impression.
Use a craft knife to cut the outline of the leaf.
With a plastic knife or spatula press into the leaf center to emphasize the stem. Don't cut through the clay, just press lightly.
Use the spatula to lift the clay off the wax paper. Wrap the leaf around a 1.75" metal cookie cutter or a metal ovenproof napkin ring. To join the leaf, ress the smaller end over the larger end but don't flatten it. Bend some of the jagged edges slightly forward to create an interesting look.
Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and bake the clay with the seam side down for 20 minutes at 275 degrees.
Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and allow the clay to completely cool.
To remove the cookie cutter, squeeze the leaf ring slightly. It will pull away from the metal cutter.

Customer Reviews of Epson Stylus Photo 1400 Inkjet Printer
Great for printing on transprancies4/18/2012
I bought this to start a screen printing gig with a buddy. It worked phenomenally, and I was able to get aftermarket ink for it, which saved me a bundle on those silly cartridges, and I was also able to make every cartridge slot black. The printer wasn't the fastest in the world, but you need that micro piezo junk to be able to cleanly print HD transparencies.
pretty good printer10/21/2011
not too heavy, perfect for my desk
Nice Printer7/10/2011
While a bit on the big side because of its large format printing, it is a very nice printer. The quality of printing is excellent with its Claria inks. Text printing is speedy for an inkjet while photo print speed is actually quite reasonable considering its size. Price is less expensive than some of the other comparable printers but inks are very pricy in my opinion (each cartridge is $20). This is where Epson really makes its money. Everyone knows that when you buy a printer, you are buying the inks and getting a free printer for the most part. A set of inks for this printer cost $120 retail... yow.... at least they give you the 079 ink cartridges which is the big brother to the 078... same size, just more ink in them. Now I know why generic cartridge manufacturers are so popular with the Epson crowd.
Great Printer, Great Value12/8/2010
The 1400 replaces an Epson Stylus Photo 2200 large format printer (original cost $800) and is superior in every way. It prints well on every paper I have fed it. The 2200 printed poorly on plain paper and photo paper other than Epson's. The detail is phenomenal and the color superb. Set up was quick and easy, even having to download drivers for Windows 7. It prints faster than the 2200 as well. I replaced the 2200 because it would have cost $540 to fix it. With 3 year warranty and after rebate I spent less than half of that to buy this printer. The ink cartridges cost more than the 2200's ($19.99 each at Fry's vs $11.99) But I expect to get more print out of these high capacity cartridges.2 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
I love this printer! A scrapbooker's must have!5/4/2009
It will accept just about any type of paper, it uses ink sparingly for the quality it produces and it has a very reasonable print speed. The only con is its size, it does take up a lot of desk space.
Prints nice8/6/2008
My first 'big format' photo printer, so I have very little to compare it to personally. I am thus far impressed with the overall photo quality, and especially the new Claria ink >>(though a bit pricey for the individual replacement cartridges). Mattes and glossies both seem to dry 'fully' much quicker than HP ink. No problems as of yet.
Epson 1400 Printer9/27/2007
I have always wanted to print larger pictures. I thought the 1400 printer would not fit what I wanted. It is truely an amazing printer. The color is just breath taking. I would still like to print 16 x 20 inch or larger but for the price and quality of my 13 x 19 inch pictures. I truely did not do wrong by choosing this printer. There will be many pictures on our wall that most people will believe we had to pay to have done. Just a great printer.
Love it!9/25/2007
I have owned the printer for a couple of months, and have printed approx. 100 11x17 sheets in that time span, with no problems and great results. The colors turn out beautifully and the print quality is superb. Every once in a while a sheet needs to be re-fed, but that's about the extent of the problems I've had. One other thing to note-the ink is not incredibly available at office supply stores. I was finally able track it down on the shelf at a Circuit City, but not until I had tried several other stores first. Now I just buy on-line and keep reserves handy. I love this printer! I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a high-quality, large format printer.
Photo Wide Format Printer4/12/2007
I bought this printer to replace an HP1200 that I had used for 4 years and had started to misfeed photo paper and card stock. I had not purchased an Epson printer since the days of dot matrix and did not know what to expect. Sadly the printer arived at 6PM CDT and was DOA. I had to contact Epson at 8PM and to my surprise they were there to help me. As the printer would not work they FedExed me a replacement the next day. This one started up and handled every paper type I threw at it. The photo quality is first rate as I had expected although not as fast as my Pixma8500. The support from Epson all that I could ask.4 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

New MAMMOMAT(R) Novation S Introduces Innovations to Accelerate Workflow
CHICAGO, Nov. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Siemens Medical Solutions (http://www.usa.siemens.com/medical) introduces the MAMMOMAT(R) Novation S, a new digital mammography system designed to optimize clinical workflow for screenings, at the 93rd Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) from Nov. 25 to 30 at McCormick Place (Booth #7713, Hall B).

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070904/SIEMENSLOGO)
With the introduction of the MAMMOMAT Novation S, Siemens provides a cost- effective solution for facilities that are making the transition to digital breast imaging but do not have the need for advanced diagnostic functionality. The system is suited to large facilities that operate screening-only satellite centers, as well as those that perform both screening and diagnostic examinations, but for whom investing in only diagnostic systems is cost- prohibitive because of the volume of screening exams performed.
"The MAMMOMAT Novation S provides a digital mammography solution that is designed to address the needs of patients, clinicians and administrators alike," said Anders Steiner, vice president, Special Systems Division, Siemens Medical Solutions. "Now healthcare facilities have the option of a system that fits their clinical and business needs, providing intuitive, streamlined workflow and enabling exceptional throughput to help maximize their investments."
The MAMMOMAT Novation S utilizes the latest full-field amorphous

Place uncooked rice in a dry pan over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes, shaking the pan back and forth to toast the rice evenly. Once the rice is no longer translucent and turns a light golden brown, transfer to a bowl.
In a medium pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add in the shallot and dried chilies and stir for 10 seconds.
Increase heat to medium-high, add the chicken and stir-fry until it is no longer pink. Add the fish sauce and sugar and stir to combine. Squeeze 2 of the quartered limes into the pan and turn off the heat. Stir in cilantro and onion.
To serve, spoon the cooked meat into 2 cabbage leaves, dividing equally, and sprinkle the toasted rice on top. Garnish each serving with mint, a wedge of lime and sliced cucumber, if desired.
While other three-year-old girls played with their Barbie dolls, Joy Liao made herself an imaginary kitchen. She'd pretend to be the butcher at the market, taking a plastic knife to her stuffed animals. (She wasn't a troubled child, promise!) Having an insatiable appetite for all things delicious, Joy grew up in the kitchen learning about cooking from her mother. After college, she pursued an editorial/media career, and more recently, rediscovered her passion for food in the kitchens of Michelin-starred restaurants in San Francisco.
