OS Lion with Leopard Partition?
I just bought a new MBP last week, and while I love OS Lion I really want to play my old PPC games. So here are my questions:
1. Is it possible for me to make a partition for OS Leopard (not Snow Leopard) along with OS Lion?
2. Even if it was possible, would I then be able to run PPC software?
3. Would there be any slowing on Lion's end if I added that partition?
Any help is much appreciated!
If you buy Snow Leopard than yes it is possible .
Is it a violation of EULA I do not know .
From the technical point of view , just make two partition on you start up drive .
One fore Lion and one for Snow Leopard .
You have to install Rossetta too on the Snow Leopard .
During boot hold down you're option key to choose between Lion and Snow Leopard
Thanks dobby!
You're assuming that there exist Snow Leopard drivers for his brand new MBP. There well may not be
One of the Moderators on this forum attempted something similar and was disappointed. I considered the same and found it to be untenable. You might have luck in the OSX86 community as they have considerable experience in distilling drivers and such for unconventional installations. Still, even then, I'm not sure the time involved and the results realized would be worth it.

Hotspot Shield
If I had a buck for every time I've reminded someone to pay attention to how secure his or her Internet connection is, I'd be able to buy Apple, Google, and Microsoft — and have enough spare change for a cup of coffee.
In other words: The importance of securing your data can never be emphasized enough. Especially not when it happens to be International Fraud Awareness Week.
So let's talk about staying safe on one of the more popular mobile devices — the iPhone.
Just like your laptop, tablet, or other mobile device, the iPhone is incredibly vulnerable when you decide to use a public Wi-Fi network. Someone could hijack your Twitter or Facebook accounts, steal passwords, or even take a peek at your email and instant message conversations.
So what can you do to stay safe? You can create and maintain a secure Internet connection by using a virtual private network (VPN). And while that sounds like it'd be difficult to set up, it can actually be done with just a few taps and an app called Hotspot Shield VPN.
Hotspot Shield
Hotspot Shield VPN comes from AnchorFree, a company known for its desktop VPN software, and it can be downloaded from the Apple App Store. The app itself is free, but the associated service will cost you $1/month or $10/year. (There's a free 7-day trial available if you want to give the app a shot before shelling out cash.)
Once installed, the app will run in the background and keep your Internet sessions safe. It will protect third-party apps, the iPhone's built-in Safari browser, and even encrypt your iMessage conversations.
It's worth pointing out that using a VPN service means you are trusting a third-party — such as AnchorFree — with all your data as everything passes through the secure tunnel created by the software. That's quite a leap of faith, but AnchorFree has a pretty solid history when it comes to keeping Internet browsing sessions private and secure. Its desktop software does occasionally include what some folks consider to be (optional) adware.

RIDGWAY – Officials announced Wednesday morning that a deal between Elk County officials and the North Central Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission [NCPRPDC] may be imminent as the Industrial Technical Education Center [ITEC] building hangs in the balance.
During a joint meeting between members of the St. Marys City Council and St. Marys Planning Commission to discuss ways to protect certain community resources, such as the water supply, from oil and gas drilling, the creation of a new Water Resource Protection Zone was proposed.
Now in her second year working at St. Marys Area High School, Certified Athletic Trainer Ashley Mulcahy, 25, is working to keep Dutch athletes in top physical shape by helping to prevent and diagnose injuries, provide rehabilitation and monitor their condition.
"I chose to go into the athletic training field because I think it's a nice combination of athletics and medicine," Mulcahy said.
March marks National Athletic Training Month as recognized by the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA), through which Mulcahy is accredited.
Elk County recycling/solid waste coordinator Bekki Titchner announced during the Elk County Solid Waste Authority meeting on Tuesday afternoon that the group has registered its three upcoming tire collections through the Great American Cleanup of PA.
The authority had previously discussed the matter during their February meeting; however, at that time they were uncertain as to the dates and times that the collections would be held.

On a gray September day, on an island off the coast of Sweden, six -year -old Jens Davidsson ventured out of his backyard, walked out into a fog, and vanished….Now twenty years have passed, and in this magnificent debut novel of suspense—a runaway bestseller in Sweden—the boy's mother returns to the place where her son disappeared, drawn by a chilling package sent in the mail… In it, lovingly wrapped, is one of Jens' sandals—sandals Julia Davidsson put on her son's feet that very last morning.
Now, with only a handful of clues, Julia and her father are questioning islanders who were present the day Jens vanished—and making a shocking connection to Öland's most notorious murder case: the killing spree of a wealthy young man who fled the island and died years before Jens was even born. Suddenly the island that once seemed so achingly familiar turns strange and dangerous… Until Julia finds herself facing truths she never imagined—about what really happened on that September day twenty years ago, about who may have crossed paths with little Jens in the fog, and how a child could truly vanish without a trace…until now.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Chapter One
When her Father, Gerlof, rang one Monday evening in October, for the first time in almost a year, he made Julia think of bones, washed up onto a stony shore.
Bones, white as mother-of-pearl, polished by the waves, almost luminous among the gray pebbles at the water's edge.
Fragments of bone.
Julia didn't know if they were actually there on the shore, but she had waited to see them for over twenty years.
Earlier that same day, Julia had had a long conversation with the social security office, and it had gone just as badly as everything else this autumn, this year.
As usual she had put off getting in touch with them for as long as possible in order to avoid hearing their sighs, and when she had finally called she was answered by a robotic machine asking for her personal ID number. When she had keyed in all the numbers, she was put through to the next step in the telephone network labyrinth, which was exactly the same as being put through to total emptiness. She had to stand there in the kitchen, looking out of the window and listening to a faint noise on the other end of the line, an almost inaudible rushing like the sound of distant running water.
If Julia held her breath and pressed the receiver against her ear, she could sometimes hear spirit voices echoing in the distance. Sometimes they sounded muted, whispering; sometimes they were shrill and despairing. She was trapped in the ghostly world of the telephone lines, trapped among those pleading voices she sometimes heard from the kitchen fan when she was smoking. They echoed and mumbled through the building's ventilation system—she could hardly ever make out a single word, but she would still listen with great concentration. Just once she'd heard a woman's voice say with absolute clarity, It really is time now.
She stood there by the kitchen window, listening to the rushing noise and looking out onto the street. It was cold and windy outside. Autumn-yellow birch leaves tore themselves away from the rain-soaked surface of the road and tried to escape from the wind. Along the sidewalk's edge lay a dark gray sludge of leaves, crushed to a pulp by car tires, which would never leave the ground again.
She wondered if anybody she knew would pass by out there. Jens might come strolling around the corner at the end of the terrace, wearing a suit and tie like a real attorney, carrying his briefcase, his hair newly cut. Striding out, his gaze confident. He would see her at the window, stop in surprise on the sidewalk, then raise his arm, waving and smiling at her . . .
The rushing noise suddenly disappeared, and a stressed-out voice filled her ear:
"Social security. Inga."
This wasn't the new person who was supposed to be dealing with Julia's case; her name was Magdalena. Or was it Madeleine? They'd never met.
She took a deep breath.
"My name is Julia Davidsson, and I wanted to ask if you could—"
"What's your personal ID number?"
"It's . . . I've already entered the number on the telephone keypad."
"It hasn't come up on my screen. Can you give me the number again?"
Julia repeated the number, and there was silence at the other end of the line. She could hardly even hear the rushing noise anymore. Had they cut her off on purpose?
"Julia Davidsson?" said the voice, as if she hadn't heard Julia introduce herself. "How can I help?"
"I wanted to extend it."
"Extend what?"
"My sick leave."
"Where do you work?"
"At the hospital, …stersjukhuset, the orthopedic department," said Julia. "I'm a nurse."
Was she still a nurse? She'd had so much time off in recent years that she probably wasn't even missed in orthopedics anymore. And she certainly didn't miss the patients, constantly moaning about their ridiculous little problems when they didn't have a clue about real unhappiness.
"Have you got a note from your doctor?" asked the voice.
"Have you seen your doctor today?"
"No, last Wednesday. My psychiatrist."
"So why didn't you call earlier?"
"Well, I haven't been feeling very well since then . . ." said Julia, thinking, Nor before then, either. A constant ache of longing in her breast.
"You should have phoned us the same day . . ."
Julia heard a distinct breath, perhaps even a sigh.
"Okay, this is what I'm going to have to do," said the voice. "I'm going to have to go into the computer and make an exception for you. Just this time."
"That's very kind of you," said Julia.
"One moment . . ."
Julia stayed where she was by the window, looking out onto the street. Nothing was moving.
But then someone came walking along the sidewalk from the busier road that cut across; it was a man. Julia could feel ice-cold fingers clutching at her stomach, before she realized that this man was too old, he was bald and in his fifties and dressed in paint-spattered dungarees.
She saw the man stop at a building on the opposite side of the street, key in a security code, and open the door. He went in.
Not Jens. Just an ordinary, middle-aged man.
"Hello? Julia?"
It was the voice again.
"Yes? I'm still here."
"Right, I've made a note on the computer to say that your doctor's note is on the way to us."
"Good. I . . ." Julia fell silent.
She looked out onto the street again.
"Was there anything else?"
"I think . . ." Julia gripped the receiver. "I think it's going to be cold tomorrow."
"Right," said the voice, as if everything were perfectly normal. "Have you changed your account details, or are they the same as before?"
Julia didn't reply. She was trying to find something ordinary and normal to say.
"I talk to my son sometimes," she said in the end.
There was a brief silence, then the voice could be heard again:
"As I said, I've made a note . . ."
Julia hung up quickly.
She remained standing in the kitchen, staring out of the window and thinking that the leaves out on the street were forming a pattern, a message she couldn't understand however long she gazed at it, and she longed desperately for Jens to come home from school.
No, it would have to be from work. Jens should have left school many years ago.
What did you become in the end, Jens? A firefighter? An attorney? A teacher?
Later that day she was sitting on her bed in front of the television in the narrow living room of her one-room apartment, watching an educational program about adders; then she changed channels and watched a cooking program where a man and a woman were frying meat. When that finished, she went back into the kitchen to see if the wineglasses in the cupboards needed polishing. Oh yes, if you held them up to the light, you could see tiny white particles of dust on the surface, so she took the glasses out one by one and polished them. Julia had twenty-four wineglasses, and used them all in rotation. She drank two glasses of red wine each evening, sometimes three.
That evening, when she was lying on her bed beside the TV, wearing the only clean blouse left in her closet, the telephone in the kitchen began to ring.
Julia blinked when it first rang, but didn't move. No, she wasn't going to obey it. She wasn't obliged to answer.
The telephone rang again. She decided she wasn't at home, she was out doing something important.
She could see out of the window without raising her head, even if all she could see were the rooftops along the street, the unlit streetlamps, and the tops of the trees stretching above them. The sun had gone down beyond the city, and the sky was slowly growing darker.
The telephone rang for the third time.
It was dusk. The twilight hour.
The telephone rang for the fourth time.
Julia didn't get up to answer it.
It rang one last time, then there was silence. Outside, the streetlamps were starting to flicker, beginning to spread their glow over the tarmac.
It had been quite a good day.
No. There weren't any good days, actually. But some days passed more quickly than others.
Julia was always alone.
Another child might have helped. Michael had wanted them to try for a brother or sister for Jens, but Julia had said no. She had never felt sure enough, and in the end Michael had stopped asking.
Often when Julia didn't answer the telephone, she got a recorded message as a reward, and when it had stopped ringing this evening, she got up from the bed and picked up the receiver, but all she could hear was the rushing noise.
She put the phone down and opened the cupboard above the refrigerator. The bottle of the day was standing there, and as usual the bottle of the day was a bottle of red wine.
To be perfectly accurate, it was the second bottle of red wine of the day, because at lunchtime she'd finished off a bottle she'd started the previous evening.
The cork came out with a soft popping sound as she opened the wine. She poured a glass and knocked it back quickly. She poured a fresh glass.
The warmth of the wine spread through her body, and now she could turn and look out through the window. It had grown dark out there, the streetlamps illuminating only a few round patches of tarmac. Nothing was moving in the glow of the lamps. But what was hiding in the shadows? It was impossible to see.
Julia turned away from the window and emptied her second glass. She was calmer now. She had been feeling tense since the conversation with the benefits office, but now she was calm. She deserved a third glass of wine, but she could drink that more slowly, in front of the TV. She might put on some music soon, Satie perhaps, take a pill, and get to sleep before midnight.
Later the telephone rang again.
On the third ring she sat up in bed, her head bowed. On the fifth she got up, and by the seventh she was finally standing in the kitchen.
Before the telephone rang for the ninth time, she picked up the receiver. She whispered:
"Julia Davidsson."
The reply was not a rushing noise, but a quiet, clear voice:
And she knew who it was.
"Gerlof?" she said quietly.
She no longer called him Dad.
"Yes . . . it's me."
There was silence once more, and she had to press the receiver closer to her ear to hear.
"I think . . . I know a bit more about how it happened."
"What?" Julia stared at the wall. "How what happened?"
"Well, how it all . . . with Jens."
Julia swallowed.
"Is he dead?" she asked.
It was like walking around with a numbered ticket in your hand. One day your number was called, and then you were allowed to go up and collect the information. And Julia thought of white fragments of bone, washed up on the shore down in Stenvik, despite the fact that Jens had been afraid of the water.
"Julia, he must be—"
"But have they found him?" she interrupted him.
"No, but . . ."
She blinked. "Then why are you calling?"
"Nobody's found him. But I've—"
"In that case, don't call me!" she screamed, and slammed the phone down.
She closed her eyes and stayed where she was, beside the telephone.
A numbered ticket, a place in the queue. But this wasn't the right day, Julia didn't want this to be the day when Jens was found.
She sat down at the table, turning her gaze to the darkness outside the window, thinking nothing, then looked at the telephone again. She got up, walked over to it, and waited, but it remained silent.
I'm doing this for you, Jens.
Julia picked up the receiver, looked at the scrap of paper which had been stuck to the white kitchen tile above the bread bin for several years, and dialed the number.
Her father answered after the first ring.
"Gerlof Davidsson."
"It's me," she said.
"Julia. Yes."
Silence. Julia gathered her courage.
"I shouldn't have slammed the phone down."
"Oh, it's . . ."
"It doesn't help."
"No, well," said her father. "It's just one of those things."
"What's the weather like on …land?"
"Cold and gray," said Gerlof. "I haven't been out today."
There was silence once more and Julia took a deep breath.
"Why did you call?" she said. "Something must have happened."
He hesitated before replying.
"Yes . . . a few things have happened here," he said, then added, "But I don't know anything. No more than before."
No more than I do, thought Julia. I'm sorry, Jens.
"I thought there was something new."
"But I've been doing some thinking," said Gerlof. "And I think there are things that can be done."
"Done? What for?"
"So that we can move on," said Gerlof, then quickly went on: "Can you come over here?"
"Soon. I think it would be a good idea."
"I can't just take off," she said. But it wasn't that impossible—she was signed off work long-term. She went on: "You have to tell me . . . tell me what it's about. Can't you tell me that?"
Her father was silent.
"Do you remember what he was wearing that day?" he asked eventually.
That day.
"Yes." She'd helped Jens to get dressed herself that morning, and afterward she'd realized he was dressed for summer, despite the fact that it was autumn. "He was wearing yellow shorts and a red cotton shirt," she said. "With the Phantom on it. It had been his cousin's, it was one of those transfers you could do yourself, with the iron, made of thin plastic . . ."
"Do you remember what kind of shoes he had on?" asked Gerlof.
"Sandals," said Julia. "Brown leather sandals with black rubber soles. One of the straps across the toe of the right one had come loose, and several straps on the left one were about to come loose too . . . They always did that at the end of the summer, but I'd stitched it back on . . ."
"With white thread?"
"Yes," said Julia quickly. Then she thought about...

On a gray September day, on an island off the coast of Sweden, six -year -old Jens Davidsson ventured out of his backyard, walked out into a fog, and vanished.Now twenty years have passed, and in this magnificent debut novel of suspense--a runaway bestseller in Sweden--the boy s mother returns to the place where her son disappeared, drawn by a chilling package sent in the mail. In it, lovingly wrapped, is one of Jens sandals--sandals Julia Davidsson put on her son s feet that very last morning. Now, with only a handful of clues, Julia and her father are questioning islanders who were present the day Jens vanished--and making a shocking connection to Oland s most notorious murder case: the killing spree of a wealthy young man who fled the island and died years before Jens was even born. Suddenly the island that once seemed so achingly familiar turns strange and dangerous. Until Julia finds herself facing truths she never imagined--about what really happened on that September day twenty years ago, about who may have crossed paths with little Jens in the fog, and how a child could truly vanish without a trace.until now.

Thirty-two years and 345 stores later, Whole Foods is still smaller than Safeway, but almost three times as valuable as a company, because having that small army of Bobs and Harvs to source quality over quantity can bring bigger profits.
But it has also driven smaller competitors out of business and earned Whole Foods a snarky nickname from cost-conscious shoppers: "Whole Paycheck." Mackey hates that.
"We've done studies that show you can eat the healthiest diet in the world and not spend more than $4 or $5 a day per person," he said.
All of Whole Foods' employees know exactly what everyone else in the company makes and, as company policy, no one can make more than 19 times the average salary of at least $18 an hour. At other Fortune 500 companies, the CEO makes around 325 times more than that.
When Walter Robb was named Mackey's co-CEO a few years ago, the job didn't come with a lot of financial perks. For one, there was no raise in pay.
But not everyone is on board with the policy. Several years ago, employees at a Whole Foods in Madison, Wis. threatened to unionize. Robb said it was a situation where the company had "let them down."
"We went there and the culture had fallen apart," he said. "The team members lost faith that we meant what we said."
Robb said those employees eventually changed their minds, but the episode was a wakeup call on the road to "Conscious Capitalism," the title of Mackey's new book. In it, he preaches that the best companies are those that treat employees, customers, suppliers and neighbors as equal shareholders.
"Happy team members results in happy customers results in happy investors," Mackey said. "Honestly, the golden rule is the reason why they call it the golden rule, and yeah, businesses should be based on principles like the golden rule."

Patrizio Bertelli - Luna Rossa Press Conference in Alameda-San Francisco
The Review Committee investigating all aspects of the 34th America's Cup have met with the four teams, today in San Francisco.
The six person Committee was established by America's Cup organisers following the fatal accident when training, involving Artemis Racing, the Swedish Challenger for the 34th America's Cup. The causes of the accident, which appeared to involve catastrophic structural failure on the team's first AC72, have not yet been determined.
The meeting with the Teams came on the back of a recommendation from the Review Committee that all teams should suspend racing for a further week, until May 22.
Another backdrop to the Teams Meeting came from comments Patrizio Bertelli, head of Italian Challenger Luna Rossa, where he was placing a high emphasis on crew safety and by implication was aiming at having the wind limits reduced for the racing, and the America's Cup in particular which has an upper limit of 33kts average before the start.
In a guarded release following the meeting with the Teams, the Review Committee thanked Mr Bertelli for supporting the continuance of the America's Cup Regatta as planned this summer on San Francisco Bay, during his press conference this afternoon in Alameda.
'We are pleased that Luna Rossa has already submitted its suggestions to the Review Committee,' they added. 'We are, however, disappointed that Luna Rossa indicated that it might not follow the Review Committee's recommendation issued last evening that teams not sail in San Francisco before May 23rd (to allow the Committee time to make further recommendations).
'We note that Luna Rossa has already sailed its AC72 yacht in Auckland for some 40 days without incident and are now prepared to sail in San Francisco Bay.
'Nonetheless, we expect that the Review Committee's safety-driven recommendations will be accepted by the teams, and we appreciate Mr. Bertelli's assurances in that regard during today's press conference.
'The best way forward for the expert Review Committee is to complete its work and publish its recommendations so that we will achieve the safest-possible resumption of AC72 training and racing on San Francisco Bay as soon as possible,' the Review Committee concluded.
The reasons for Luna Rossa's statement, if correctly reported, have not yet been publicly spelled out, but probably are a reflection of the team's confidence in themselves, and a reluctance to start running a training program under dates and conditions recommended by a Review Committee. That in turn costs them valuable training time ahead of the Louis Vuitton Cup which starts in seven weeks time on July 4, 2013.

There you have it! MLB is already telling the D1 coaches how to spend it by saying the 1 whole scholarship cannot be split. Then there is the "Race" card, which I promise you nobody is worried that there is less than 5% white kids playing Basketball. '
Un real!
BAMA will better this year! I hear they have some talented pitching this year but they're young. Look for to pitch a ton of Freshmen on the mound, Roll Tide
None of the recruits "Verbal commitment" is worth anything to these Coaches because they change like the wind. The Coaches grab the not the first 25 but the best 25
So sorry for both families of these kids. This was just a sick stupid joke/prank that shouldn't have happened. I hope this kid don't have to register as a sex offender for this stunt and have it haunt him.
Prayers for both families
Top notch kid! Good Luck Barrett
Keep rolling them trees! There is nothing wrong with the trees and they're NOT gonna die. They are sucking every bit of water out the soil around them causing grass not to grow.
Keep the BARN tradition
I ate lunch in T town today and saw a good number of the "Corndogs" walking around campus.
Anyone know why they're in town so early or is another sport playing them?
Love the idea!
What time will the annual Hoover-Prattville game start?
Look at the picture closer, McGregor is flipping everyone the bird thinking to himself, "Come join us at Victoryland, you could be a winner too
.Repent! Go to Church or the Devil will get you! So many lost souls out there have no clue how good God is, what a shame!
11.7 schollys divided by 25 man rooster means 50% scholly per player. That should be a total different article in its self but to address your lack of Alabama and Auburn not being there here goes.
Both Alabama and Auburn aren't recruiting with a full deck, neither school has a lottery so therefore all they can offer is around 50% scholly,
Florida, SC, UGA go out and offer 50% plus the other 50% from the HOPE, or Florida lottery to make 100%. Where do you think kids will be steered by their parents?
Try to any hotel or condo in the Florida pan-handle or Gulf Shores for that matter and tell me if you get a room. They're bulging at a 98% full ratio in terms of rooms. There is more people traveling this 4th of July than the last 5 years.
Coach Murphy hangs around women all day 24/7. No wonder he was depressed and it sounds like this guy just needs some Prozac and a shot of Jack Daniels. He even sounded like a women in some of his answers. WOW! Welcome Back Coach! You really need to get away and get around some other guys for a little while.
With schools laying off teachers and major cutbacks, How can the AHSAA fine a school this kind of money and where does the school get this kind of money? This clown thinks he is running the NCAA!
What does this group do with all the money they fine schools? They are supposed to a non profit organazation
Signing Bonus for the 39th round? No way! More like a bus ticket and a sandwich. This kid will go to the BARN where there is 50/50 shot he we get rolled out to Junior College. The Twins or anyone else taking a kid that late is basically saying "We like him" he is a "draft and follow"
Since the BARNS baseball season is over and they turned in their uniforms in last week, Why do they have you covering Mississippi sports? Just Curious?
This is what its supposed to be. In time of need, check yourself at the door. Thanks Auburn and Roll Tide!
Great Story! You're only young once in this life and need to enjoy it while you can. Good Luck to this kid for learning to be mental tough and overcoming adversity.
I just wish folks would turn to the Lord before it's too late!

I think these kids deserve some thanks. Unfortunately, in New Orleans, we don't seem to care.
Could this be another Hate Crime that isn't classified as such because it was a European-American or Hispanic-American?
I wish the Slidell Police Department would issue citations for litter. It would be nice instead of watching someone throw a cigarette butt out the window right in front of a cop.
I heard the man that was beaten to death was a European-American, shouldn't this be classified as a hate crime???
If I were this police officer, I'd file a lawsuit. Another thing, there is a black cop right in the front, if it were so racist, why he didn't step in?
Mr. Morris needs to stop worrying about making money for some of his Tennessee buddies and start worrying about the people of Slidell. He says this city is clean, have you looked along the interstate? Mattresses, furniture, bags, etc.... Have you looked by the major intersections such as I-10 and Gause, nothing but garbage. Start enforcing litter laws, it will provide Slidell with more than enough money! Maybe if we present a "REAL CLEAN" Slidell, we'd have more people visit, more businesses willing to relocate here. Come on People, you as well as our mayor, need to help keep this area clean and not just say it, do it!
Maybe Eddie's sister, Sidney, can sing to get Eddie out of jail again?
Umm, I guess that cop in the front is "white?"
The newest thing is "I can do it because Obama is in charge now." I'm sick of being called a racist just because I am white. Anyone ever watch comedians on BET? Most jokes are about other cultures, why isn't this racist? 30 years ago Archie said some racist comments, does that make it right in the present?
I wish both parties would listen to the people instead of fighting about who knows best and who has the most power. Seems to me they are creating an Upper Class and Lower Class with nothing in between. This goes for both the Demos and the Repubs. WORK TOGETHER FOR A BETTER AMERICA!
I'm not voting for Jindal next time. I thought he was better than playing politics. If it's all about Republican/Democrat then it's not helping the people. These two parties are only worried about one thing, making money for themselves. And as far as Jindal doing good for our state, I would like to know why he wanted to cut healthcare and education? Seems like both parties want to creat an Upper class and a Lower class with nothing in between.
At the beginning David Vitter was a very nice, concerned about all, individual. But now, he's a bitter guy concerned only about his party. The tone of his voice speaks only of hatred. I hate having a message on my voicemail from David and his "Tea Party." You can go to a tea party every Sunday at the gay bars. Stop all the freaking hatred among the parties and show you care about the people!
Well, if Mr. Davis' sheriffs would enforce litter laws, illegal sign laws, etc... maybe they can generate enough money for a new jail. St. Tammany is becoming a nice litter community, especially in Slidell on the interstate!
Why worry about the dump? Slidell is becoming a huge dump. Look at all the litter!!! Go down Gause to Northshore Blvd, go look at all the interstate intersections, especially I-12 exiting to I-59, nothing but cans, bottles, trash! Go through Ozone Woods, people leave 4-5 newpapers litter their driveways, cans and bottles in ditches!
Big Ben really don't care, he's out of here soon. He just wants to make enough money to move back to Tennessee. The guy claims Slidell is clean but he won't even pick up a piece of trash when he is in Slidell Athletic Club, he just walks right through it.

"The look started with a picture that Marc had of Christy Turlington with really fresh skin and rosy cheeks," said François Nars, Founder & Creative Director of NARS Cosmetics. "Marc wanted 'icy cold cheeks' and so the blush is drawn down in such a way that's unusual…unusual, but decadent. Like a Renaissance painting."

About this project
Hi, my name is Rachel and I thank you so much for checking out my Kickstarter page. I am a singer/songwriter with many (more than I actually care to mention, lol) years experience as a professional musician in Northeast Ohio. It has been a dream of mine for so long to record a solo album. I have had the pleasure of performing with so many talented players in the area and I've always wanted to ask them to play on a project of my original music. I just wanted it to be the right time. I wanted to be ready. I feel that I'm finally there. Funding for this project will give us the opportunity to record a professional, full length album and an HD video.
I have tried to come with some interesting incentives for your support....but I imagine if you are here, checking this out, maybe our paths have crossed before at a performance venue somewhere. I personally want to thank you for your interest and support for helping making this dream hopefully a reality! It means the world to me!!
Here are some links to hear some earlier examples of my tunes...

Once you've decided to start your own business, it's time to get busy. We all would like to make sure our ducks are in a row before beginning any new project, however, taking your first action steps toward your goal is imperative. Learn from our expert guest blogger what action steps you should take when creating your job.
What to do next?… Jump or Dive?
Making the decision to strike out on your own is a daunting task laced with questions of uncertainties that scares most from even contemplating the idea. But once you've made the decision to take the plunge just how you get your feet wet is probably just as important as the original decision.
Most want to just dive in head first without regards to just how deep the waters are. This is when not testing or examining just how much water there is to dive into can have the same disastrous results as thinking there's a deep market yet finding it profitably shallow.
Then there is the technique of jumping in to a market feet first. Although this may seem safer, the waters could be so deep that all you can do is tread water to stay afloat exhausting your resources.
Not kidding yourself about where your about to swim and doing some real research about how deep the market you want to jump into will go farther in fortifying your resolve to make the plunge and go.
After all. We're here to make waves. Not just dip our toes.

Your plastic is getting to the Caribbean more often than you are, and it's spoiling your next visit
Who left their trash behind on this remote Caribbean island? Then I realized. It wasn't left. It arrived. An endless flotilla of refuse heedlessly sent from afar. It's heartbreaking. The image of a lone bottle washing up on a remote tropical island is the clichéd stuff of literature, movies and New Yorker cartoons. But what…

European Union Fisheries Ban Ignores Belize Conservation Success Story
In its coastal fisheries, Belize is leading the way in innovative management strategies designed to preserve biodiversity in a manner that keeps fishermen on the water and focused on the long-term sustainability of fish stocks. Future generations of Belizeans will be able to carry on their rich fishing traditions thanks to the decisions, at times quite difficult, being made right now.

Summer is a time of potential. In the spring the seeds emerge and when summer arrives, their fruits are in full bloom. I find this season to be a time to enjoy the plethora of produce (berries in my backyard and such a wide bounty of fruits and vegetables at the farmer's market), to rejoice in the fruition of my own ideas, and to bask in the warmth of easy conversation and friendly connection. Like the juicy crops emerging from the earth, summer is when it all comes together for me, when everything I've been ruminating on for the months prior takes new shape. Fresh associations are made. Intention blossoms.
The intention I'm setting for my cleansing journey next week is to digest and absorb all that ripe nourishment. It's the peaceful, purposeful and pleasurable grace that my body, mind and spirit merit this time of year. Join me! After all, its also the season of joy and laughter. Together we'll be sure to do some of that as well.
Double Ginger Cuke Canapes
These scrumptious little summer hors d'oeuvres are a perfect party dish or a midsummer night's garden meal in themselves. They incorporate an adaptation of one of my favorite recipes, a Pacific Almond Rim Pate from Renee Lous Underkoffler's book Living Cuisine. Topped with pickled ginger ~ a sweet little fermented delight to help boost your gut bacteria ~ they tantalize the tongue with the coolness of the cucumber and the fire of the spice.
makes approximately 2 cups pate
canape ingredients:
2 cup raw almonds, soaked approximately 6 hours
pickled ginger (recipe below)
Pickled Ginger
Staying 'cool as a cucumber' has to do with staying hydrated through the hot summer months. The flesh of the cuke is mostly comprised of water (over 90%!). It also has the ability to keep its flesh slightly cooler than the outside temperature ~ staying cool itself. And yet the cucumber also packs and impressive store of minerals and vitamins.
When it comes to high water content, cucumbers are not surprisingly related to the watermelon. They're also part of the same family as the zucchini, pumpkin and other squashes. Cucumbers and cucumber juices are truly traditional delicacies. They've been keeping people cool for thousands of years!
The Health Benefits of Cucumbers:
: : The watery flesh of the cucumber provides vitamin C, carotenoids and folic acid.
: : By contrast, the fiberous skin contains silica, potassium and magnesium.
: : The silica contained in the skin of the cuke makes it great for supporting our connective tissue (our muscles, tendons, bones and ligaments), and our skin.
: : Used topically, the ascorbic acid and caffeic acid help to relieve water retention, which is why cucumbers are used for swelling under the eyes (I love this usage), burns and other skin irritations.
: : Because of its high water content, cucumbers are perfect not only for cooling you down, but can also be used as a diuretic, to help support the kidneys, and to relieve edema.
: : Cucumbers also act as an alterative. This is the term for a cleansing and purifying food that helps to alter the blood and restore the function of the excretory organs.
: : The cuke contains a digestive enzyme called erepsin. Erepsin helps to break down proteins and supports intestinal health. For this reason we love using cucumber and cucumber juice in the Refresh Summer Cleanse!
: : The Organic Factor: Cucumbers are readily sprayed to prevent the prevalence of the cucumber beetles that carry fungal and bacterial wilts to the plant. Conventional cukes are also often waxed to protect them from bruising during shipping. Bottom line: Buy organic cucumbers.
Uses for Cukes:

Top Chef: What did you make - Week Two?
For the quikfire, amazingly, I had the same idea as Radhika, which was cool, although hers looked better than mine did in my head. Probably why she won, right?
For the elimination, I made a Boston baked bean soup, served with maple-glazed cornbread triangles.
And today, I found a great recipe for baked bean soup. I have never tried it, but it looks great, so I might have to make that one soon!

View Report (19 pages; 2.07MB; PDF)
Area of focus: Out-of-School Time
This Wallace Foundation report summarizes the proceedings from their 2009 Conference, "Out-of-School Time Quality: Financing for Sustainability." It builds on the groundwork from the previous out-of-school (OST) report, A Place to Grow and Learn: A Citywide Approach to Building and Sustaining Out-of-School Time Learning Opportunities, released in February 2008 and discusses some of the realities facing OST programs. The report documents concerns raised as well as practical suggestions made by conference participants.
Key Findings and/or Recommendations
= Despite the economic climate, sustaining programs can be attained by maintaining municipal commitment to OST resources and new partnerships with other organizations such as universities and recreational groups.
- Funding from public and privates sources is likely to be scarce in the coming year for OST programs.

Some couples have trouble getting pregnant. About 85 percent of couples get pregnant after trying for one year, and the remaining 15 percent are considered infertile. Many of these couples will go on to get pregnant without help, but some will need medications or other treatments in order to have a baby.For a couple to conceive, they need a healthy egg, healthy sperm and place for sperm and egg to meet. That meeting place requires healthy fallopian tubes and a normal uterus where the fertilized egg can set up a home for the next nine months. Treatments for infertility depend on where in the process the couple is having problems.If a woman has irregular periods with hormonal imbalances or deficiencies, the solution might be drug therapy. Other couples may have problems that may be corrected by surgical procedures.
If you've been having intercourse on a regular basis for more than a year and haven't conceived, the specialists at Norton Women's Care can help. We provide a full range of infertility tests and treatment options to identify and address the issue, and help you realize your dreams of conceiving.Find an infertility expert or call (502) 629-1234 and we'll point you to the right specialist.
The term used to cover all types of infertility treatments for women and men is "assisted reproductive technology (ART)." These include:
In many of these procedures, women take medication to increase the number of eggs they will mature and release during a cycle. This is called an "ovulation induction protocol." Advances in these drugs have improved the success rates for many of these procedures.
This process selects out healthy sperm and delivers them directly into the uterus, shortening the path the sperm need to travel and increasing the chance they meet an egg and fertilize it.
The most commonly known type of ART treatment for female infertility is in vitro fertilization (IVF). In this procedure, one or more eggs are removed from the woman's ovaries and fertilized with the man's sperm in a laboratory. Three to five days later, some of the fertilized eggs (called embryos) are placed in the uterus through the cervix.The trick is to pick the right number of embryos. If too few embryos are put back, none of them may implant in the uterus, and the woman won't get pregnant. If too many are put back, she may have a triplet or quadruplet pregnancy. Multiple pregnancies—twins triplets or more—are at high risk of early delivery, with potential long-term consequences for the babies.In vitro fertilization was initially used for women who had problems with blockage in their fallopian tubes. With the improved technology and success rate of IVF, the procedure is now used for couples experiencing a variety of problems. Recently, IVF laboratories have been able to culture embryos for longer periods of time, allowing doctors to pick out healthier embryos and transfer fewer of them back to the mother's uterus. This is important, because it reduces the risk of multiple pregnancies.
GIFT and ZIFT were developed to assist fertilization, but use a woman's fallopian tubes as a natural incubator. They are generally used when a couple's religious beliefs forbid in vitro fertilization. In GIFT (gamete intrafallopian transfer), the eggs are removed from the ovaries, mixed with the sperm, loaded into a catheter and then injected into the fallopian tubes, where natural fertilization can take place. In ZIFT (zygote intrafallopian transfer), the eggs are removed from the ovaries, fertilized in the laboratory and then placed back in the fallopian tubes where they can travel to the uterus and implant on their own.
This technique involves freezing the embryos for use at a later time. If a couple goes through in vitro fertilization and a large number of eggs fertilize successfully, the embryos that are not transferred back to the uterus can be frozen. The frozen embryos can be transferred to the woman's uterus for another pregnancy.
Sometimes, a woman can't get pregnant because her ovaries no longer produce healthy eggs. This problem becomes more common as a woman gets older. In these cases, a friend, relative or volunteer may donate the eggs. The eggs are then fertilized with the man's sperm and transferred into the recipient's uterus so that she can carry the pregnancy. Women pursuing donor egg work with the fertility clinic to select an appropriate donor.
This is an effective treatment for male-related infertility factors. Male factors include low sperm count, low motility or movement of sperm, or other conditions that make it more difficult for the sperm to fertilize the woman's egg naturally. This procedure takes place in the laboratory where one sperm is injected directly into the egg.
In this technique, another woman carries the fertilized embryo through the pregnancy and delivery. This infertility treatment is used for women who cannot carry a pregnancy themselves.
