"When you're a smaller brand, you have to take advantage of these opportunities," said Liam Fayed of menswear label bespoken.
Old English besprecan "speak about, speak against, complain," from be- + sprecan "to speak" (see speak). A common Germanic compound (cf. Old Saxon bisprecan, Dutch bespreken, Old High German bisprehhan, German besprechen); originally "to call out," it evolved a wide range of meaning in English, including "speak up," "oppose," "request," "discuss, "arrange," and "to order (goods)" (1580s).
The connection of the senses is very loose; some of them appear to have arisen quite independently of each other from different applications of BE- pref. [OED]


text: Spazzkid LFTF Mix by LFTF published on 2013/12/11 01:50:08 +0000 Spazzkid is the moniker of LA-based (where else?) producer, photographer, and generally beautiful human being Mark Redito. Earlier this year, we covered Spazzkid's excellent Desire 願う LP, an album of eight richly orchestrated, life-affirmingly twee electronic pop gems. Redito has kept busy since then with the remarkable "Weird Girl", which obliterates a track by J-Pop girl group Perfume and builds a monument to beautiful excess from the scattered pieces, and the recent release of a gorgeously shot video for album highlight "40 Winks". In his own productions, Redito has demonstrates the rare ability to imbue decadently maximalist arrangements with a degree of intimacy that would make Shuggie Otis blush. That sense of humanity is equally present in his mix for us, which sets disarmingly cheerful Spazzkid originals against a dazzling pastiche of electronic pop that mirrors his own bubbling web presence and well-honed artistic sensibilities. // Augustus - Vs Capsule - Portable Kuukou Spazzkid - Loving Free Gold Panda - Marriage (Baths Remix) Vanilla - Into My Eyes Siriusmo - Simple Tokyo Hands - Letters Wave Racer - Stoopid Spazzkid - Weird Girl Ghibli - Loungin Kero Kero Bonito - My Party PM Dawn - Set Adrift on Memory Bliss Spazzkid - ???

To be fair - much of Jo Brand's act is self deprecating. She makes jokes about her looks and size all the time. It's hardly surprising if people do the same.
Having said that, I've always found her oddly alluring. I suspect it's because she's such an obviously intelligent woman. I must be a zombie, because I've always been attracted to brains.

Your hair and scalp and your skin need protection from sun, salt, pool chemicals, heat, humidity and other environmental aggressors. Chlorinated water discolors hair and damages hair fibers depositing a brassy, grayish or even green tone. (Whether virgin hair or colored).
Sea salt and minerals can strip hair of natural oils causing severe dryness. And sunlight creates free radicals, breaking down hair protein, damaging cuticles and fading hair color. All of the above will leave hair dull and brittle.
Not to mention those harsh rays can burn your scalp causing pain and flakes.
SOLUTION #2 Aveda's Sun Care After-Sun Hair Masque. This is an intensive cream masque that will restore sun-exposed hair, moisturize and defend against those nasty free radicals. You can use it weekly or whenever hair is exposed to environmental aggressors. Apply evenly to damp hair and leave on 2 to 5 minutes then rinse out.
SOLUTION #3 Aveda's Sun Care Protective Hair Veil. This is a lightweight, water-resistant UV defense mist that forms an invisible screen to help protect hair from sun exposure for 16 hours, to minimize color fadage, damage and dryness. It Can be used daily or as needed depending on exposure. Just spray evenly on dry or damp hair before going out. Reapply after swimming. (This spray is great if you want that beach hair, messy, wavy look)
Another item you might want to throw into your beach bag, is Aveda's Lip Saver. SPF 15 Sheer lip balm helps protect with sunscreen and anti-oxidants. It's only $8 and worth every penny to protect your lips. Also the Nourish-Mint Rehydrating lip glaze is great if you want protection with a hint of color.
For you skin, we recommend the Replenishing Body Moisturizer . This body creme conditions, hydrates and softens skin.
If you have curls and you usually blow your hair straight on cooler days, you may want to wear your natural curls in the summer but are afraid they will be wild and frizzy. We have some solutions for that too. I love the Be Curly Style Prep. If you use the whole Be Curly line, you will get great results.
First use the Be Curly Shampoo and conditioner. Then apply the Be Curly Curl Enhancer to keep down the Frizz, then apply the Style Prep to hold while drying hair natural. After you apply the Style Prep, take individual curls and twist and twirl them into a spiral leaving them to air dry. This will define the curls and keep them from frizzing. If you prefer a more wet look, you can use the Brilliant Retexturizing Gel.
Remember practice Safe Sun. Your haircolor is an investment, protect it.

The Blue Ridge Parkway from bottom to top!

Friday, Day 3:
So after going through a Friday morning road block with
s Finest, we were on the parkway again. It was nice to breathe the morning air and to be back in the saddle.
, we found a sport touring dream! There were some great sweepers north of
, and we took full advantage of them which explains the reason for no pics. It was some of the best riding I have done on the F800st! Here are a couple of pics as we were getting close to the end of the parkway.
gear on the parkway was a blast on this bike. There is enough power to break laws but the vibrations are very low and pleasing.
I was really enjoying riding that day! At one point, we were riding along a ridge that was mostly shaded and I got to enjoy some great views of the
Shenandoah Valley
. I was riding the R1150R and I remember looking down at the gauges and I noticing the chrome trim rings bursting with little bits of sunlight that was popping through the trees. The temps were perfect and the wind was nice and steady. As I looked up to the road again, I glanced to my left and looked down over the valley. What a beautiful view that was, it was as if I was flying. I wonder if this is what BMW has in mind when the came up with the phrase, BMW the ultimate driving machine? As I looked forward again, I gently pushed on the bar to enter a slight right turn, and the view was gone as fast as it appeared. For a couple of seconds it felt as if everything was perfect. A perfect day while riding a great bike with great views, this is what I hope to experience every time I ride.
More Soon!

Today's Deal Ends In
Tell us a bit about this design and what is the message or meaning you're trying to convey.
I grew up in the 80's. And, like everyone from my generation, I have a special fondness for this movie. It represents the adventure, the incredible experience a 13-year-old child would like to live.
Who are you?
I'm Saqman, a Spanish designer who grew up with comic books, Sci-fi Movies and a lot of books plenty of adventures. Although I am a family man now, I still keep my childhood and my dreams very closed to me.
Any shout outs?

A gremlins tee now please and thank you. You godly people you
This is a pretty awesome design, love it...can i say...way to go saqman....b-e-a-utiful!
New to this site and was wondering because I do not see an option to click...Does Tee Fury sell Tanks for women ?
Looks like Tim Burton does the Goonies in Corpse Bride/Nightmare before Christmas style. Like it.
Insta Buy! My first order since all the way in October. This would look even better on a Raglan shirt.
Who is the character in the left eye of the skull?
I'm confused also I pay shipping and I wait over a month for my items to even ship out and now they've raised prices on the collections I'm not a very happy customer. I really hope I'm not disappointed in my grab bag again the last time two of the shirt had nice holes.
This is hands down the best Goonies design I've seen.
I'm really confused about the collections being advertised on the main page... Are these collections being advertised for sale at not? I'm sure you can imagine my disappointment when my favorite Princess Mononoke shirt was present in the Spirited collection only to see the price as "Not for sale". If it's best-selling and listed as a current advertisement, shouldn't it be available for purchase?
What a great Goonies design. I love the way the characters are drawn.

A new educational simulation tool designed for the generic study of wireless networks, the Wireless Fidelity Simulator (WiFiSim), is presented in this paper. The goal of this work was to create and implement a didactic tool to improve the teaching and learning of computer networks by means of two complementary strategies: simulating the behavior and performance of communication protocols based on the IEEE 802.11 standard widely studied in networking courses, and providing with improved scope and realism for students engaged in wireless network design and modeling. The educational interest of this tool lies in the realism of the simulation, which provides a high level of interactivity and visual information through a highly configurable graphic user interface, as well as highly intuitive and easy-to-interpret graphic results. This educational tool was tested by computer networking teachers, students, and professionals. The experience demonstrated the effectiveness of the software and resulted in a significant improvement in the students' practical work, leading to enhanced learning and consolidation of theoretical concepts.

The Cleveland Indians signed outfielder Jeremy Hermida to a minor league contract, ESPN.com reported Monday. Hermida, 29, was rated as a top 30 prospect by Baseball America three straight years, including No. 4 overall in 2006 but has not reached his projected potential. The 2002 first round draft pick of the Florida Marlins has not played regularly in the major leagues since 2010. Last year, he had just 24 at-bats for the San Diego Padres. He has played mostly in Class AAA the past two seasons. In eight major league seasons, Hermida has batted .257 with 65 home runs and 250 RBI.

Heat Have Big Advantage In Game 7 Experience
Experience or youth? It's often the difference between winning and losing in sports and Game 7 will feature plenty of both for the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat.
Heat & Spurs Battle For Legacies In Game 7
And then there was one. One game to decide the value of a year's worth of work trying to become NBA champion. For one team, it's one last shot at glory as the window is nearly closed on a historic run and for the other, immortality winning back-to-back championships.

Five things to watch for in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, as the San Antonio Spurs try to clinch their fifth title and end the Miami Heat's reign on Tuesday night:
Spurs A Model Of Patience & Success
The Spurs have long been the NBA's gold standard when it comes to drafting and development, preferring to roll up their sleeves and scour the globe to find the right players to slot into well-defined roles in San Antonio.
Heat Need Big Game From James Again
A little more than a year ago, the Miami Heat stood on the verge of elimination in the Eastern Conference Finals. The team's heart and the ability of the Big Three were being questioned left and right ahead of Game 6 of the Conference Finals.

Miami Heat superstar and NBA Most Valuable Player LeBron James looked like a shell of himself in Game 3 of the 2013 NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. He promised he would play better in Game 4 and just like the mailman, he delivered.

The traffic got a little heavier as we got closer to Antigua.
Was surprised to find a hotel with such good parking, there is a lot of hotels in thr centre of Antigua but parking is bit of an issue for most hotels but not here.
We headed out for dinner with Robert , the spag bol they served me was rubbish, I could of cooked better stuff than that, at least the seating arrangement brought back fond memories of days gone by
Today Ewa got up and hit the road for the coffee tour I woke up for a few minutes checked facebook and then went back to sleep and was out like a light for a few hours, I was surprised when I woke up and it was 11:50. With checkout time at 12 and no sign of Ewa i got up and started packing. Not long after Robert and Ewa turned up, Ewa is a big coffee freak and so was Robert so they really enjoyed it and I enjoyed my sleep in. We said out goodbyes to Robert, he had to go and get his bus to Guatemala and we had to hit the road towards El Salvador. I had done a ittle bit more research this time and sort of knew where I was going, I am really going to have to start doing a bit more of it again, I used to have it down to a fine art but have got slack with the apps onte phone and the Gps but now with nothing at all no paper maps or anything it is back to google maps at night and writing down a few names of villages then stopping to ask people again.
We hit the road about 1 out of Antigua, the ride was really nice actually not to hot about 25 Celsius to start with but as we came down in elevation the temperature got up into the low 30's still ncie for riding. Even with my list and stopping to ask I eneded up going the wrong way a few times, the hardest part of writing down the names for me is I cant even pronounce them so when Im asking people just go si si si and point straight ahead. I had a feeling we were going the wrong way even though we had been told this was the right way so stopped to get something to eat and double check. We ordered, I had some sort of chicken soupy dish with a peice of chicken in it and it was bloody beautiful. Lucky we did stop as we had gone about 10 k's down the wrong way.
Back on the road a few more stops to ak people let me count them 1 2 3 4 and we arrived at the border town with El salavador. Just before getting there we came across these two guys on push bikes, man these guys are crazy, they said they had an easy ride today as Im sure they would of, it seemed to have been alot fo downhill, it made me think of pommy Chris who we had met in Flores last week and had headed out to Lake Izbel or whatever it is called it was out along the road we had ridden to Lanquin, he had messaged me on Facebook and one of the locals had told him it was all down hill, my repsonse to him on Facebook was just ahahahahahahahahahahahahah
I dont know what was going on with the trucks at the border but there was a few kilometer line up to cross the border, it was really long but meh thats of no concern to me I was riding stright up the wrong side of the road to the border. We found a hotel right at the border we probably could of crossed but its no big deal this joint is only 11 dollars a night, I thought about riding back out to tell the guys on the push bikes as they ahd said they were going to camp out but at this price it would make sense to be indoors, look its probably no problems but border areas are notorious places for crime thefts or whatever else as the scratchy theives just run across the border and no one can do anything.
We walked down to check out all the things at the border crossing so we are all organised in knowing where to go and who to see in the morning, then we checked out the printing area to get our copies etc, while we were there we bunmped into an aussie couple David I think it was and Jess, they were heading down to some surf camp which I thought would be cool to see. They told us about the area where it is Ewa better have memorised it as I havent got it La Libratad maybe Ill look on the map when we get internet, apparently their is good waves there and I have read and heard about right hand point breaks in El Salavador so a quick trip to coast might just be in order for this old surfer dude.

Saggio Hills, the long delayed luxury hotel and residential development on the north fringe of Healdsburg, is moving forward again after being hobbled by legal challenges and a downturn in the economy.
Robert S. Green Jr., the developer, said this week that he plans to complete the final map and design review on the project this year and begin construction in 2015.
"That's our hope," he said. "There's still a lot of work to do, which is great. It's nice to be back, heading in that direction."
"It's a big deal and something we've been waiting for," City Councilman Gary Plass said of the revived signs of life for the 130-room, five-star hotel, and 70-home project on the largest swath of undeveloped land in Healdsburg.
Mayor Jim Wood said it's welcome news, but also cautioned "there's still a lot of things that need to happen before he's ready to begin that project."
Green acknowledged the financing is not fully in place for Saggio Hills. The project has been estimated to cost $310 million, but Green declined to confirm the figure Wednesday.
He expressed confidence the remaining capital will be obtained to begin the hotel construction at the same time the first homes are being built.
"Fortunately, we've been able to put the capital debt in place for two of our projects in Southern California," he said of two large hotels his company is pursuing — in Hollywood and San Diego's Gaslamp district.
"Lenders are back in the business of funding construction loans for hotels," said Green, who is based in Encinitas and has developed several Four Seasons resorts in California and Wyoming.
Saggio Hills, with its approximate $700-per-night hotel room rate "is being designed to compete in the luxury hospitality market in the Wine Country," Green said.

Bjorn Rebney Would Love to Match War Machine Against Paul Daley, But Can't Right Now
By: Sherdog.com Staff
Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney, on "Beatdown," discussing whether we could see War Machine against Paul Daley at some point:
"I would love to do that fight. That would be a wickedly good fight … . The problem with Paul right now is he still doesn't have his legal situation worked out so that he can get into the U.S. Paul still cannot travel to the U.S. from the U.K. I've been e-mailing him back and forth, and we've been talking to what's called in London his solicitor -- it's his attorney -- and they have high hopes that it's going to get cleared up and the case is going to get dropped. They've had some good progress in the case the last two times they've been in front of the judge, but he still can't get into the United States."

Bellator Thanks Zuffa for Releasing Paul Daley
By: Sherdog.com Staff
Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney, on "Beatdown," discussing Bellator's signing of Paul Daley:
"I'm forever thankful to Zuffa relative to Paul Daley. I'm thankful they gave him the release. I've been a 'Semtex' fan for years. If you like mixed martial arts and you like explosive fights in the cage and you like guys who bring the fight, Paul Daley has got to be up in your top-10 list. Win or lose, he doesn't know how to have a boring fight. … As soon as that opportunity came up and he actually got the release, we moved on that immediately. I think that's a no-brainer. He's been very vocal and very articulate about what happened, about the misstep that he had, very public about it and … I think, spoken very eloquently about it. I'm just thrilled to have him under the banner."

The Turning Point: Diaz vs. Daley
By: Chris Nelson
Nick Diaz is a finisher. | File Photo
The vaunted chin of Nick Diaz survived its most onerous test of Diaz's reign as Strikeforce welterweight champion Saturday night, while another of the Californian's hallmarks ensured that he left San Diego with gold intact.
Diaz and challenger Paul Daley put forth the type of vicious firefight most expected inside the Valley View Casino Center, but the confrontation truly began on Friday, when the notorious trash-talkers exchanged epithets at the official weigh-ins. The tension was evident immediately before the bout, when Daley grinned at Diaz as referee John McCarthy gave final instructions, evoking further verbiage from the titlist.
Five seconds into the bout, Diaz was into his usual routine, inching gingerly forward and chatting with Daley while offering up his jaw to the British slugger. Backing Daley into the fence, Diaz popped his challenger with a right jab, then hurled a left to the body. Early in the round, the sequence took little effect; in the end, it proved Diaz's best friend. Read more

The Prince of Darkness is looming toward Kansas City on Saturday night, and he's already pissed at our local hatemongers, the Westboro Baptist Church.
The WBC will bring its day-glo hate to the Sprint Center on Saturday night to picket the "God-hating fool" Ozzy Osbourne from 6:45 to 7:30 p.m. Ozzy is already angry with the WBC for using some of his lyrics last year: During a post-hearing press conference in October, Shirley Phelps-Roper and her sister performed a version of Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" in response to a question by the press.
"I am sickened and disgusted by the use of 'Crazy Train' to promote messages of hate and evil by a 'church,'" Ozzy said in a press release, referring to the iconic song off 1980's Blizzard of Ozz.

The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963
by Christopher Paul Curtis
No current Talk conversations about this book.
An African american family in 1963 sets off toe Birmingham, Alabama to see grandma and grandpa during the darkest moments in American History.
There is a wonderful blend of humor and sensitivity in this historical fiction about the Watson family that takes place in the 1960's. The Watsons - Mama, Dad, Joetta, Kenny, and Byron - live in Flint, MI. The story is told from Kenny's perspective - a 10-year old boy. Byron, Kenny's older brother has been getting in trouble and the family decides they need to go to Birmingham to visit Mama's family. They are in Birmingham during the time of the protests and the church bombing that killed four young girls. This book has a wonderful blend of humorous stories and seriousness. Through it all the family bonds are strengthened and the family discovers first hand the impact of segregation and the reasons for the Civil Rights Movement.
This is a nice way to use historical fiction to introduce children to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's. I like the fact that this portrayal of an African American family includes a father and mother who are both strong characters who clearly love their family. There is a realistic portrayal of all the ups and downs that families experience. This would be a great book to encourage students to read during their independent reading time especially during the study of US History. This is a great book to use as a launching point to further explore many elements of the Civil Rights movement or even the differences in the life styles of African American families between the Northern states (like MI) and the Southern states (like Alabama).
This book discussed the difficult issue of racism. It is definitely an interesting way to bring up the topic of racism in the classroom. Even though the book itself covers an interesting topic, I felt as though the presentation was very boring and not engaging. Students would also need some background information to be able to fully understand the book. I really enjoyed the central message of family and how if you have your family by your side, you can overcome any challenge. Aside from that though, I was not impressed by the book. I have read better and more engaging novels covering the same topic.
Story about a family dealing with racism.
I thought that this book by Christopher Paul Curtist was a very interesting read but very slow at times. It bothers me that the actual car ride did not happen until the last third of the book. I understand that there is a lot of things that need to happen before hand but it made it hard to read until about two thirds of the way through. This book is based on the life of a black family in the middle of the Civil Rights Movement. The book is narrated by one of the young family members, Kenny. Curtis has humor in his book too. This makes a big difference, because it makes the book more interesting by making you laugh. When Byron got his lips stuck to the rearview mirror and Kenny said, "...Byron's lips stretched a mile before they finally let go of that mirror." One of the things we really enjoyed about this book was, that the author really expresses the character's characteristics. The theme of this story is based on the Civil Rights Movement and family. The characters in the book experience many different tragedies and conflicts such as, bombings during the Civil Rights Movement and problems with Byron and Kenny. The theme of this book really expresses the authors feelings on family and the Civil Rights Movement. Christopher Paul Curtis is a great author and uses many different "secrets" to make his writing as good as it is. First of all, he tells things like they are. There isn't any fantasy in this book and you can relate to the story. The Watsons are just like any family. They go through difficult times and good times.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 044022800X, Mass Market Paperback)The year is 1963, and self-important Byron Watson is the bane of his younger brother Kenny's existence. Constantly in trouble for one thing or another, from straightening his hair into a "conk" to lighting fires to freezing his lips to the mirror of the new family car, Byron finally pushes his family too far. Before this "official juvenile delinquent" can cut school or steal change one more time, Momma and Dad finally make good on their threat to send him to the deep south to spend the summer with his tiny, strict grandmother. Soon the whole family is packed up, ready to make the drive from Flint, Michigan, straight into one of the most chilling moments in America's history: the burning of the Sixteenth Avenue Baptist Church with four little girls inside.
Christopher Paul Curtis's alternately hilarious and deeply moving novel, winner of the Newbery Honor and the Coretta Scott King Honor, blends the fictional account of an African American family with the factual events of the violent summer of 1963. Fourth grader Kenny is an innocent and sincere narrator; his ingenuousness lends authenticity to the story and invites readers of all ages into his world, even as it changes before his eyes. Curtis is also the acclaimed author of Bud, Not Buddy, winner of the Newbery Medal. (Ages 9 to 12) --Emilie Coulter
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:12:20 -0400)

TONAL is almost RED blind so you can develop this film by dark red X-ray light.Quote:
They are red sensitive, just not as much as other films
i didn't realize there were differences, i had thought that photo paper,
was "orthochromatic" generally speaking because it was not panchromatic.
hmmm, i guess i was calling blue sensitive "ortho" without realizing there was a difference ....
so does this mean that photo paper is "ortho" and sensitive to green
as well as blue, or is it only blue sensitive or something different altogether ?
early photographic processes that just use silver nitrate ( like wet plate, dry plate ( some ) &C
would they be considered something else besides "orthochromatic"
thanks in advance !

Old german photography books tells about orthochromatic, panchromatic, orthopanchromatic and superpanchromatic emulsions.
VC paper has two different emulsions for a different intention than widening the spectral sensitivity.
VC paper is like having two papers in one, the first a high contrast emulsion, the second a low contrast emulsion. The two different response curves are designed to be complimentary to each other and only exist to give the user contrast rendition choice.
The prototypical orthochromatic film has just one emulsion layer that is sensitive to a wider spectrum -blue and green and UV - to give a more natural rendition than the plain emulsion that is sensitive only to blue and UV.
I suppose that with modern technologies, there's nothing I know of that would intrinsically prevent film makers from making a more complex ortho film with multiple layers, but the essence of an ortho film can be expressed with a single layer.
As for B&W papers, today even the simpler graded contrast papers are ortho sensitive. They are probably made so to match the speed and sensitivity of VC papers to white light (grade 2 normally).
The "native" form starts out without any spectral sensitization.
Those are "unsensitized" or "blue sensitive" and may be sensitive mostly to
UV and some blue. (Ordinary B/W photographic papers, salt prints and siderotype processes belong here.)
If you sensitize for green the material becomes "orthrochromatic".
(MC/VC photographic papers fall into this category.)
If in addition you also sensitize for red,
the material can be called "panchromatic"
(There used to be a few panchromatic b/w papers
for printing b/w prints from color negs.
Total darkness was the best safelight.)
it never ceases to amaze me how complicated
the simple ( looking at least ) things we take for granted are.
thanks for the help on this, i have a little more of a clue now :)
but that said, i will be the first to admit, i am still pretty clueless

I am at a loss as to which bit to use on my mare. I had her in a training sweet iron snaffle with copper in-lays and it wasn't getting much response.
(my wording is awful so please bare with me).
I then moved onto a twisted snaffle (not twisted wire), but I am still having issues getting her to turn and give to the bit. I do use leg as I am turning or asking her to back, but when it comes the bit's turn to do some of the work, I get nothing. For a 5 year old she has a pretty hard mouth.
Any suggestions?!? I am at a complete loss!We ride western, by the way

CHARLOTTE, NC - OCTOBER 11: Daniel Snyder, owner of Washington Redskins smiles before their game agaisnt the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium on October 11, 2009 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
Although it's admittedly beginning to feel like we're beating a dead horse, the Redskins' name issue is evolving, albeit slowly, and there's now a new wrinkle to the debate. Daniel Snyder has hired Frank Luntz, a conservative political consultant, to conduct a focus group assessing the general public's opinion of the NFL and the Washington Redskins, according to Think Progress. Snyder is presumably attempting to assess just where he stands from a PR perspective as he continues to hold that the Redskins will never be renamed. The most important question on the survey is likely, "Which of the following best reflects your opinion of the NFL team name 'Washington Redskins'?" Options include, "I find the name offensive and they should change it," "I don't find the name offensive and they should keep it as is." NFL commissioner Roger Goodell recently addressed the issue, saying the name is, "a unifying force that stands for strength, courage, pride and respect." While calling a racial slur a force standing for "strength courage, pride and respect" may be a bit of a stretch, it'll be interesting to see if the statistics collected by the survey are released. If they're not released, it's possible the numbers didn't come out in Snyder's favor. Stay tuned. Something tells me this story is far from finished. [follow]

Good morning,
I found the tree editor. I knew there was a way to make better trees. Although you have to pay attention when flipping options, I think it is a very powerful tool. Now I am happy I figured that out as I need Pine trees for my project. When my flu goes away I am sure to be a bit quicker to learn but I am going to work on the trees for now until I can make my forest scene. Any tips on making a forest after I get my one pine tree figured out?
What is the best way to make a dirt road with sand or with gravel?

In working with a client today, she wondered how much she should charge for her product. She actually didn't effectively negotiate the project in advance so she was uncomfortable asking for anything. That's just not right. I took my calculator out of my desk drawer so that I understood how much she was talking about leaving on the table. When I had the calculator in front of us (we were using VOIP web phone so I didn't want to use the one on the computer) she was surprised when I added up the data. She didn't question my numbers because of the calculator. It's still an important negotiating tool. You have the "facts" in front of you and they are the facts you want them to see. Put your logo on the calculator and they will appreciate that accuracy you bring to the table each time. I left the calculator on her desk.
It's true calculators are smaller and smaller, so no space is wasted in the messenger bag or briefcase. When your client or team member (or you) is on the phone (you can't really calculate when you're speaking on the same phone) giving/taking the order they can grab the desk or pocket calculator to check the math ensuring the right number is agreed upon. Fun colors, shapes, price points and sizes ensure that you're handing out the fun give away at the trade show or community event. In the collection here, you'll find gadgets that multitask with a notepad, ruler, pen or business card holder. They clip on, hook on, slide in, hide-away or sit squarely on the desk are ready for use. People need calculators make sure they grab the one with your logo proudly on the font!

Superbena® Pink Shades Verbena hybrid
Superbena verbenas are very vigorous with strongly trailing habits They need relatively long days to bloom and are difficult to produce in small container sizes. They have very large flowers and umbels. They are great in landscapes and containers. In landscapes, they are best used at the front of beds and they function as spillers in combination planters. If you are looking for a colorful annual ground cover, Superbena is a great choice.
Plant Needs
Use in hanging baskets, window boxes, landscaping and combinations
Self-cleaning, no deadheading necessary.
Superbena are our most vigorous, heat tolerant, and mildew tolerant series. While always great in containers they are also fantastic in landscape beds. They can tolerate dry soils and lower fertility. Normally either an application of slow release fertilizer or amending with compost is enough to keep them happy and blooming in landscape beds. They shouldn't need to be trimmed back but can be given a "haircut" - a trim back - using a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears at any time. While naturally well branched, trimming them back will encourage additional branching, fuller plants, and ultimately more flowers. I usually give them a very slight trim as I am transplanting to boost branching.
An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.

YIELD: Serves 2
In a 9-inch non-stick skillet cook the onion and the bell pepper with salt and pepper to taste in 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the bell pepper is tender. In a bowl whisk together the eggs, the ham, 1/3 cup of the Swiss cheese, and salt and pepper to taste, add the bell pepper mixture, and stir the mixture until it is combined well. In the skillet heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil over moderate heat until it is hot but not smoking, pour in the mixture, distributing the ham and bell pepper evenly, and cook the frittata, without stirring, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edge is set but the center is still soft. Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup Swiss cheese over the top. (If the skillet handle is plastic, wrap it in a double thickness of foil.) Broil the frittata under a preheated broiler and about 4 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is golden, and let cool in the skillet for 5 minutes. Slide the frittata onto a serving plate, cut it into wedges, and serve it warm or at room temperature.

Carl Larkin: Unions would bring skill and efficiency
Carl Larkin, Shasta
Unions would bring skill and efficiency
I am truly fascinated by the pro and cons of the who and when, or even if the hotel will be built upon the "free land" adjacent to the Turtle Bay Museum. Wouldn't ordinary common sense dictate that union labor would perform with much more skill and efficiency than say, ordinary off-the-street labor because of their prior apprenticeship training and on-the-job experience?
I've read recently that skilled construction workers are in short supply due to the recent downturn in our housing economy that caused construction people to drift off into other jobs and endeavors.
What strikes me so forcibly is a recent ad in the classified section of our local Record Searchlight where the management of the newspaper is seeking a Dock Worker; the hours are midnight to 5 AM, $8.00 an hour, 25 hours a week, no fringe benefits offered — must be dependable, possess a strong work ethic (plus a strong back?), a valid California driver's license, a dependable vehicle covered by adequate insurance. And guess what? At times they must be ready to deliver the morning newspapers when the regular delivery person fails to show up, which I would presume happens frequently.
Making $200 a week at this warehouse job plus a couple of more similar employment opportunities, the person could be living in relative luxury — who needs those lousy union jobs anyway?
