I had a friend that he always wanted to have a tree house but since he lived in an apartment he could really build one. One of the funny stories that locksmith san ramon told me about hs customer was that one of them lost their keys when they got into a argument and one of the people throw the key up there. If you are looking for a professional locksmith in Austin, Tx then I recommend this site http://www.austintexaslocksmith.com. But one day he finally moved into a house that had a back yard. The only problem now was that he didn't have any trees in the back yard. company like garage doors Georgetown TX grow just like trees do. So the first thing he did was talk to his dad and convinces him to grow a new tree so then he will be able to build a tree house. With my new motorized blinds from somfy I can open and close my shade while sitting down whenever want. And his dad told him that he wont grow the tree, the only way they were going to have a tree was if my friend grow it himself. For beautiful window blinds go to this site and buy your blinds from thissite. Please check out this site and for sun blocking blinds go to http://theprimeblinds.com/solar-sun-shades-roller-screens-for-windows, http://theprimeblinds.com/blackout-shades-room-darkening-window and http://theprimeblinds.com/motorized-blinds-cordless-window-shades-remote-control-electric-automatic.

Of course the first thing he thought was that this job was going to be impossible and that he wasn't going to be able to do it.

Def a nice smoky eye shade. It smudges out well. I would say that the consistency is a pleasure to work with, although the coloring is quite confusing. It's both cool and warm at the same time, and I have trouble deciding what to pair up with it.

Audacious Asphalt is a brownish silver with a shimmery, metallic finish. It was almost pewter-like. It reminded me of Inglot #444.

Social media, love it or leave it? Social media has become an indispensable part of business. There is no question that social media is an effective marketing tool. Statistics show that 14% of consumers do not trust advertisements, but 90% trust peer recommendations. So go ahead and love social media, but like any love affair, be wary of some pitfalls along the way.
Unintended loss of trade secrets -
Companies who fail to limit use of trade secrets on social media can easily lose a trade-secret claim. Because an essential element of a trade-secret claim is that the information is not readily accessible to others by proper means, an employer who fails to prevent employees from publishing trade secrets on social media may lose the ability to claim that the information is a trade secret. An employer who allows employees to "connect" with customers and clients on LinkedIn, without ensuring ad- equate privacy controls so that others can- not view the information, allows those employees to in effect publish a customer list.

Postal 2: Share the Pain demo for GNU/Linux
just a site rip.
Just in time to relieve all that Holiday stress, a demo version of Postal 2: Share the Pain is now available for GNU/Linux systems.
"Share the Pain" adds multiplayer gametypes to the previously single-player only Postal 2, with its mature-rated attitude (Capture the Flag is called "Snatch", and involves stealing the other team's, uh, mascot...you get the point). The multiplayer gametypes are fully network compatible with the Windows players.
The package contains a complete DEMO version of the game, featuring one abbreviated single player level, and a few multiplayer maps for your enjoyment. The full, commercial version of Postal 2 for Linux will be available soon (and rumor has it there will be a Linux boxed version, so please don't run out and buy the Windows version in preparation just yet). The package also contains the Linux dedicated server.
Postal 2 has some rather explicit content. Don't download it if you're a small child or easily offended.

After downloading and installing all it did was go to black screen for me.
I have managed to quake 3 running just fine as well as gltron, cube and a few other games.
This is the first time I have had enough hardware to really run any games in linux and I must say that the stability factor has dropped since I have been trying. Lots of people always talk about how stable linux ix and it always seemed to run for days on end for me but now that I am trying to do a little more than email news and web browsing it seems little better than windoz.
I am sure it has more to do with the operator than the system but it sure des suck to have to rsort to the reset switch.

Broadway performer Nick Adams survived his third and fourth weeks of rehearsals for the upcoming revival of La Cage Aux Folles (opening at the Longacre Theater in New York on April 18) and brings The Advocate along for the ride.
Week three of the extravaganza that is La Cage aux Folles rehearsal took the show on the road: The Cagelles went on a field trip together. With signed permission slips in tow, we boarded a shuttle bus and traveled up to Yonkers to rehearse in a scenic shop. Here we found a massive welded birdcage inside of a cold cement garage. It was here in Yonkers where we learned choreography that crucially involves the cage—pole dancing and all. Wait until you see this number. The boys have pulled even more impressive tricks out of their dance belts.

Diane was such a good person and dedicated mother. She deserved so much better. The fact that Clifton turned out the way he did is certainly no indication of the way she tried to raise him. God bless you Diane.
I live in Euclid where all 6 churches will be closing and three merged churches will open. I am not happy, but I do understand why it must be done.
I am very active in my church and have been watching over the past 10 years as the numbers in the pews have steadily decreased.
Why is it ok for people to move from a neighborhood but not for a church to do the same thing in response to what the people have done. No church exists strictly for an hour long mass on Sunday.
The good that is done by the people of the church does not need to end when a church closes/merges. The building doesn't provide the meals, the people do. If you want to serve, the same opportunties are available.
I have seen a great many changes in my parish over the years from changes in leadership to reduction of masses. I know people that have left over many of the changes.
I go to mass to pray in community and to receive the precious body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. I try to build up the community and serve where I can. I will do the same in my new parish.
For all those who say there is no accountability for charter schools, this example shows how wrong that opinion is. When was the last time you saw a public school closed for financial mismanagement, academic failure or anything else.
Charter schools get none of the local levy money. When public schools run short, they put a levy on the ballot. That is not an option for charter schools.
As with everything else in this life, there are good and bad. Even a great charter school will take time to show improvement. When a charter school opens, it enrolls children that come from schools in academic emergency or watch. These children enter the school considerably below grade level. It's an uphill battle.
If a charter school is mismanaged or not showing appropriate academic improvement, it should be closed. I'd like to see the public schools held to the same standard.
I sometimes also keep my purse in the trunk but according to this story, she wasn't in her car. She was in a rental and her car was found close by.
I have read many columns from Regina Brett that I agree with, this however, isn't one of them.
Two years ago a local Euclid bank was robbed and one of the bank employees was shot in the back of the head. She was in the hospital for 5 month.
No one knows what the suspect in this case was doing in his truck, but we sure know what he wasn't doing. When you tell a teller that you have a gun and are robbing a bank, you are rolling the dice. A police officer has to make split second decisions. His life, as well as the lives of others, hangs in the balance.

The Conservative Party, one of the two main political parties in the UK, has called for every police force in the country to produce a map mash-up showing where crimes have been committed. The statement was a leading story on last night's BBC news.
The Conservative Party plan refers to CrimeReports.com in the US as an example of the kind of map that they want UK police forces to produce. We reported last month on how CrimeReports was being adopted by police departments in fifteen states in America. On Monday of this week we posted reviews of a number of other crime maps.
One of the maps reviewed on Monday was my own London Crime Map, which when compared with the CrimeReports map is a good example of the problems being highlighted by the Conservatives in producing UK crime maps. Police forces in the UK only produce crime data on an area by area basis and do not reveal the exact location of where crimes are committed. The London Crime Map therefore only gives crime statistics of neighbourhoods rather than mapping individual crimes like CrimeReports.
Even More Crime Maps
Coincidentally the Google LatLong blog today links to another example of a crime map produced by CBS in Chicago.
The City Under Fire map is a My Map designed to keep residents informed about the spate of shootings that have taken place in the city recently.
Crimi is a Polish crime map that tags individual crimes on a Google Map. Clicking on a tag opens an information window giving details of the crime. The data can also be sorted by date, so it is possible to see whether crime is rising or falling in an area.
Anchorage Crime Map
The Anchorage Crime Map is a mash-up of crime data for Anchorage, Alaska. On this map crimes are recorded every day to give a daily overview of crime in Anchorage. The crimes are colour-coded by type of crime and it is possible to sort the data by day to get an overview of crime in the city on any given day.
Brennende-Autos is a very specific crime mash-up as it is only concerned with torched vehicles in Berlin. If this map is any evidence this seems to be a very big problem in the city. Each tag on the map gives the name of the type of vehicle involved as well as the date it was torched.

Fundraising dinner planned for MU speech center
HUNTINGTON — A fundraising dinner will be conducted at 6 p.m. Monday, April 8, to raise awareness and financial support for families through the Scottish Rite Childhood Speech and Language Program at Marshall University.
The sixth annual Scottish Rite Spring Dinner, which will be set in the Don Morris Room on the second floor of the Memorial Student Center, will include dinner from Outback Steakhouse and desserts from Paula Vega Cakes. The cost is $125 per person, and tickets will be available at the door.
Guest speakers will include Dr. Joe and Toby Werthammer, who will present "Hope and the Long Road Home ... The Story of Nick," which tells of their son's recovery after a traumatic brain injury left him unable to speak at the age of 15. After years of speech therapy at the center, he is now a 31-year-old family man who works at Cabell Huntington Hospital.
The dinner also will feature Emily York, a 6-year-old who was chosen as the 2013 Scottish Rite Poster Child. As a child, York was diagnosed with severe apraxia of speech, which denied her the ability to be understood by her family. Since then, she has made incredible progress working with speech therapists at the Speech and Hearing Center.
"At one time, Emily could not even say her own name," said her mother, Melissa York. "Kids at school would ask her, 'Why can't you talk right?' and as a mother, I just couldn't deal with that. I can't help but wonder where we would be today if it weren't for Marshall's Speech and Hearing Center."
All proceeds from the dinner will directly benefit the Scottish Rite Child Speech and Language Program through the Speech and Hearing Center, which serves as a training site for students in the Department of Communication Disorders at Marshall.
Since 2002, the Scottish Rite Program has provided comprehensive services to children with communication disorders, without regard to creed, race or a family's ability to pay. Mickey Martin, president of the Scottish Rite Foundation, said the organization has raised more than half a million dollars since its founding and has given much of that to Marshall.
For more information or to purchase tickets, call 304-696-3640.


text: Sorry, .1 and .2 rank up there as one of the sappiest stories I've ever read. Middle of the bell curve, pedestrian. The drama of the big winter storm, such little as it might be in a comics world, is completely negated by the absolutely predictable, cliché-soaked step by step Peter/Spidey evolutions. gee, will all the people get out of the burning building? I think so. Will Aunt May be okay? I think so. Will JJJ hate Spider-man? Yeah, that's a safe bet. If the point of this relaunch story was to hit every Spidey traditional note in the most flat, boring manner possible, it succeeded, as well as being an example of say, B+ 4th grade fiction. And Marvel hired this writer because he is a... writer with talent? Professional? Well, that is by far the most surprising, startling thing I can say about this relaunch! :-0

This one started out promisingly, like that movie Vanilla Sky, as Chicago and Vancouver came out flying in a high-paced, nearly even first period. It began to come off the rails a little in the middle portion, like that movie Vanilla Sky, as the Canucks took the lead, then immediately surrendered two powerplay goals to finish the frame down by one. And then, like that movie Vanilla Sky, everything went to crap in the end, and the final twenty minutes was so freaking bad you doubted whether any of it was ever any good, even the stuff you initially liked. Vanilla Sky sucks, and I was reminded of it when I watched this game:
"That said, his finish wasn't so bad on the lone Canucks goal. After Daniel Sedin chips the puck into the neutral zone, setting up a two-on-one for Henrik and Hansen, Hansen darts to the net at full speed, and Daniel hits him with a perfect saucer pass for the tap-in."
There may be an error here. I will neither confirm nor deny this.
I enjoy reading your interpretation of games, but please look at replays of Kesler's scring chanc e at the end of period 2. Keith brought his leg around and tripped Kesler and sent him crashing into the boards. Dirty play, no penalty Hurt Kes.Please check it out
it was frustrating to watch. how about when kesler decked leddy just because he felt like it? the dude was not in a good mood.
curious how in their last meeting, the canucks put on a powerplay clinic and embarrassed the hawks. In the very next game between them, the team that draws the most penalties in the league, the canucks, don't get a single powerplay opportunity (while chicago had 3).
something doesn't add up. hell, it was eerily similar to when the refs swallowed their whistles in the finals.
Maybe that "relying on the power plays" strategy is a double edged sword? Perhaps they get confident in their power play making the difference for them that they don't give the same attention to making 5 on 5 work? Perhaps that could lead to frustration in situations like tonight.
I find it hard to believe that there was not a single penalty drawn up against the Hawks. This is the Chicago Blackhawks. They hate our guts as much as we hate theirs. And don't give me "They played smart hockey" crap. Refs had a hand in this loss. But the team had a bigger hand in it.
The inconsistency is killing me. They didn't play 60 minutes out there. They played 25 at best and no amount of Ryan Kesler death stares will light up the lamp. Grr. Juice had a good game, I'll give him that. I wonder of this game will signal the end of the AV euro line/Twins-Ninja experiment. And why put Cody Fisher…err Silent G down a line? Kid has been playing great. Schneids let bad ones in last night so how come I don't see a burning effigy of a Conan O'Brien goalie lookalike in twitter? Still want to replace Luo? They cannot keep playing like a .500 team. They are sooooo much better than this and they know it.
I chanted "Ref you suck" over and over again like a lullaby to help me sleep last night.
Oh and can I comment on the Rogers Arena crowd? Shame on you – the road fans do a much better job of cheering the team on!
I demand a refund, NHL GameCenter Live. Not that I missed anything in the 5 minutes of "we are expecting technical difficulties" screensaver but it's the principle. I should at least get a $1 back.
Didn't the Canucks just play a game earlier in the week when they weren't called for a penalty? Is that part of the conspiracy too?
Chicago only got three PP's in the game. Maybe if it was a 8-0 advantage you'd have a point.
Please Canucks fans, quit with the constant blaming of the officials. It's making you look bad to other hockey fans.
"Of course, he was back in the third period, no doubt after punching his shoulder back into place and then punching it again until it stopped hurting."
I can actually see Ryan Kesler doing that last night.
I feel sorry for any puppies crossing his path after the game.
How can this blog even consider that a person whop did not get results put in a good effort? On the Internet, results and effort share a 1:1 relationship, don't you know? If Kesler didn't score, it means he must not have been trying. Any time the team loses a game, it's because they weren't trying or they didn't care! If only the team always put in an effort, they would never lose a game again. Damn that Vigneault for not motivating them enough.
And if ever both teams put in an effort, the resulting paradox would end the universe. Thankfully it's never happened in the era since ties were abolished.
The reffing was definitely tricky last night. I love how John Garrett's groans are a pretty good indication of a penalty drawn for the Canucks, and he had at least two of those last night. There was definitely a blatant hook that went uncalled, but I can't remember when it was or who it was on.
With that being said, I think Tom has a point about the "double edged sword." I don't think the Canucks are mailing it in 5 on 5 (They had some pretty dominant shifts last night), but they definitely need to be able to score 5 on 5. Especially when the Community Man can't help the refs dislodge those whistles until after the game.
Also, you guys should get a screen grab of that shot of Kesler on the bench after his super-angry hitty shift. He looked so miserable. Dude was freaking angry last night. Good for him!
I saw a very Zen quote by Schnieder from after the game:
"It is not my place to talk about that (lack of goal support). They have made me look great in the past with a lot of goal support. It's time where I steal a game 2-1 or 1-0."
Perfect attitude – his game starts and stops with him. No one else. Too bad he is going to have a long and storied career with teams that aren't named the Canucks.
Though Hansen gave the Nucks the lead
(The pass from Hank was sweet indeed),
The two goals on the powerplay
Put the Hawks ahead to stay.
A like score we've seen before,
Just back a while a week or more,
And so the Chicken Hawk was right:
Vancouver lost on Wednesday night.
And now a bit of bitterness
About something that brought distress:
No calls when someone trips a twin
When still they had a chance to win.
I like it when it's called both ways
With two sides having power plays.
Jenny Wren
And now I hasten to explain
It's not my nature to complain.
Besides I quite enjoyed the game,
But non calls are a bleeping shame!
So why would you, "Click here to see."
When there's not one who won't agree
There's nothing that he has to say
That does excite in any way
Now if there were profundity
Revealing astute acuity
Well then it is that there would be
Good reason to, "Click here to see."
But as before as time has taught
All that he writes just comes to naught
So don't "dislike" or disagree
And please do not, "Click here to see."
"Dislike" makes him come back for more
Far better that you should ignore
Silent G was bumped down a line because near the end of the first he cut in front of his own net, carried the puck up the middle while being chased by one 'hawk, lost the puck at the blue line, gained it back momentarily.. circled back into the Canucks own end, then lost it again as three 'Hawks swarmed him.. giving up a scoring opportunity that Schneider made a good save on.
Coach AV made him think about it.
But at least it happened in November.
The most difficult part for me watching this game was Marian Hossa. When they scored of one of his plays I couldn't tell if I was upset we were scored against or happy I'd just seen a pretty hockey play. The resulting noise that came out of my mouth was not too dissimilar to that of a Donkey. "YEEAA-aaww".
So, this is moderately insane… Last year Wild prospect Mikael Granlund turned heads with his Floorball-style (or 'lacross-style' for the uninitiated) goal during Finland's semifinal game against Russia in the World Championships. Mikael's younger brother Markus (a Flames prospect) notched a similar goal a year ago and another today in SM-Liiga action. Check it out:

It's probably been said, but while there were at least 3-4 EA published games at the MS conference, at the Sony conference, there wasn't even a hint of EA support anywhere to be seen. While Battlefield 3 was very much a PS3 promoted title, BF4 is front and center at MS' conference now, with timed exclusive content to boot. FIFA, a game that typically sells better on Sony hardware than MS and is huge in Europe, is now getting exclusive content on the XBO as well.
Meanwhile, EA ditches online passes at the 11th hour before MS announces their DRM strategy, but then EA says they never pressed for the used game DRM that Microsoft is implementing into the XBO.
Also, everything I've heard from E3 is that there was everything except signs with arrows on them going between the MS and EA booths to facilitate people moving from one to the other.
The whole layout seems a little too coincidental for me personally, but then I tend to enjoy conspiracy because it's usually at least laced with a bit of truth. Are the Sony/EA good times over and we'll see less content from EA on the PS4 because of policy disagreements, or is this just EA throwing a tantrum that they'll eventually get over?

My experiences in Europe have opened my eyes to different cultures and the way that certain daily practices are considered fundamental in some cultures, yet in others they are frowned upon. This is especially true with public nudity. The beaches are full in the height of summer and comparing beaches in New Zealand with those in Europe are like chalk and cheese. Firstly I am not saying that I disapprove of nudity on beaches, but it takes getting used to.
In Sweden when I went on a recent holiday to the beach, I was amazed by the overall appearance of females on the beach. As a population they are very rich in slender blonde genes with fine facial features. The Swedes in general mainly wore bikinis although there were some people who went topless. Nothing is wrong with this. I just hate people who obviously partake in this practice looking for attention, and cringe if you lay your eyes anywhere near them. Is this not the reason for them partaking in such a practice?
This public nudity is also apparent in other parts of Europe, although it varies depending on the culture of people in that particular area. I recently visited Switzerland and they are far more reserved as people. They do not have as fine features as their northern European counterparts, but they more conservative as a result. They also wear far more on the beaches Do you think that public nudity is a sign of an attractive population?
This raises the interesting question of whether public nudity is part of a culture and embedded into young Europeans as children as being acceptable behaviour or do you think it is more of sexual practice seeking attention of other bathers as a grown up?
What is different about being naked in a sauna compared with naked on a beach?
Do so many Europeans not wear sunglasses on a beach to not appear to be perverts? Or do they just not want tan lines?

Fold the cloth lengthwise and put it over your head covering your ears.
Grasp both sides with your hands and pull behind your head.
Change hands and pull cloth around both sides to the front of your temples and change hands again.

|Yokai Cryptid
|Sub grouping
|Other name(s)
|Tsuchinoko (Romaji),
Bachi-hebi (North Japan)
The Tsuchinoko (ツチノコ or 槌の子?) literally translating to "hammer's spawn," is a legendary snake-like cryptid from Japan. The name tsuchinoko is prevalent in Western Japan, including Kansai and Shikoku; the creature is known as bachi hebi (バチヘビ?) in Northeastern Japan.
Tsuchinoko are described as being between 30 and 80 centimetres in length, similar in appearance to a snake, but with a central girth that is much wider than its head or tail, and as having fangs and venom similar to that of a viper.[1] Some accounts also describe the tsuchinoko as being able to jump up to a meter in distance.[2]
According to legend, some tsuchinoko have the ability to speak and a propensity for lying, and they are also said to have a taste for alcohol. Legend records that it will sometimes swallow its own tail so that it can roll like a hoop, similarly to the mythical hoop snake.
Popular culture[edit]
The Tsuchinoko is most popular from the video game "Katamari Damacy". The Tsuchinoko features in the 2004 Konami video game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. A very rare type of animal only found in certain areas, its capture earns the player the achievement/trophy "Believe It or Not" on the HD Collection of Metal Gear Solid for PS3/Xbox360 and the infinity face paint.
In the visual novel Rewrite by Key, the Occult Research Club look for a Tsuchinoko.
In the Japanese murder mystery games Dangan Ronpa and Super Dangan Ronpa 2, characters Hagakure Yasuhiro (Dangan Ronpa) and Hiyoko Saionji (Super Dangan Ronpa 2) make a reference to the Tsuchinoko.
Tsuchinoko has been also appeared in an episode of Doraemon, in which, Nobita goes to forest to capture it in its nest.
The Tsuchinoko also appears in the game Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow as a unique enemy, only appearing in one cellar located past the room where the Golem boss is fought, often already disappearing by burrowing into the ground before the player can enter the room. It has 300 Hit Points and is weak to darkness based attacks, and can poison the player with is spit attack. Its rare soul, is a unique Enchanted Soul which gives the player a discount on items purchased from the shop when equipped. Its in-game bestiary reads "A mythical snake proven to exist by Soma Cruz in 2035."
In 1973 Takao Yaguchi the creator of Tsurikichi Sanpei wrote and illustrated a manga titled Bachi Hebi simultaneously with Tsurikichi Sanpei in the weekly Shonen magazine. It focuses on a group of tourists getting stalked by whole group of tsuchinoko. In 1974 Tsurikichi Sanpei and Bachi Hebi received the fourth Kodansha children's cultural comic book award. It started the boom in Tsuchinoko popularity and was collected in one volume. Tsuchinoko, with otherwise reptilian attributes, has compound eyes.
The Pokémon Dunsparce was inspired by the Tsuchinoko.
In Golden time episode 302 Tsuchinoko are eaten grilled as a bar snack.
In the anime Blood Lad, Tsuchinoko is grilled and eaten at a cafe in the Demon World.
In an episode of the anime Space Dandy, QT discovers the joys of fishing and becomes obsessed with fishing for Tsuchinoko (which seem common in parts of the setting).
There is a tsuchinoko in Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san. Her name is Houman and she appears from episode 7 onward.
In the Level-5 anime/Video game Youkai Watch, the Tsuchinoko is featured as a befriendable spirit.
The anime "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!" featured the Tsuchinoko as a box weapon, and was even said to be found 7 years in the future.

2. If you're going to cry, do it in the tub.
Rihanna took Beyonce's memorable sob in bath to a whole new level in the video for "Stay." She stays in there long enough to get super pruny. We are pretty sure Beyonce would have advised against that.
3. If you wear a fur, you better werk it.
Wearing fur is quite the fashion statement and not everyone can pull it off (sorry Macklemore). But Miley Cyrus gives it her best go in "We Can't Stop." If it weren't for that taxidermied animal she's holding, we'd say she werked it pretty hard.

Now that Apple have moved to a more regular and distributed scheduling of new and updated products, the traditional 'big' announcement in March may not be happening (and even if it is, it will feel diminished through familiarity). So the calendar is left open for someone else to step up to the plate, and it looks like Samsung is up 'on deck'.
But I think the South Korean firm has missed a golden opportunity to capture a huge number of influences and really use social media to tell the new story of the Galaxy range – specifically the Interactive branch of South by Southwest.
In previous years Apple has bracketed the Austin based event with over 25,000 delegates by announcing the new Apple product just before the show starts, have a number of influences carry 'gold' final versions of the tech, and then start selling right after SXSW – one year they even opened a pop-up Apple Store in the center of town to capture the impulse sales! They got to double dip on the news cycle around the release, and ensure the talk of the town is Apple.
All the indications are that Samsung will be announcing the latest Android handset (likely without mentioning the word 'Android' on Thursday March 14th. The day after SXSW Interactive finishes. When you have a significant number of the tech industry's influencers in one place, why would you not work that into your PR calendar?
Perhaps there still might be a fleeting glimpse of the Samsung Galaxy S4 during SXSW (especially as Samsung sponsor one of the more popular blogger lounges), but I can't help wonder what the story would do if they moved the dates around, announced the handset seven days earlier, and then make sure it is the darling of the SXSW crowds.
I suspect it would be very much to their advantage.

The mid-week blog updates are getting more challenging lately. The leaves have turned on our trees but are largely still attached to the branches. Once they are off the trees I will be raking them up and composting them, or using them to mulch and protect the artichoke plants, but for now it is not time yet to do that.
The garden beds with winter crops are growing (albeit very slowly now) under the extra protection of a grow tunnel; or in containers in the greenhouse; or for extra hardy items - exposed but covered with bird netting to keep my hens out of them. The fall and winter crops do not require much care during the dark days of winter as the weeds are not growing much either, and the soil stays moist for long periods (even when covered) due to the colder temps and damp conditions. There will be very minimal watering and weeding chores for the next four months.
The spent summer crops have been removed and the plant debris added to the compost bin. The garlic has been planted. The pumpkins have been brought into the warm house to finish ripening since they were so late setting this year and did not quite make it to the finish line before the cold fall rains arrived. To summarize, there just is not that much going on out in the garden at the moment worth talking about. However, the food production garden still occupies my mind quite a lot during the late fall and winter season even if I am not physically in it very much at this time. If you are serious (like I am) about providing for all of your family's vegetable needs from the garden, there are several important management issues to stay focused on during this low period in the garden season.
First, I have to really be careful to avoid overharvesting the winter hardy and protected crops. A fall / winter garden is really nothing more than plants that have been grown to a mature state prior to the arrival of the really short and dark days of winter and then held in a state of near dormancy for fresh harvesting as needed. If the plants are mature enough and hardy enough to survive winter conditions (usually with the assistance of some protective cover) they will provide a fresh source of food. However, with the diminished strength of the sun, much shorter day length, and cold winter temperatures, these plants may survive but are certainly not going to continue to grow much (if at all) and therefore will not bounce back after a harvest with new growth. Particularly if your garden is like mine and goes into heavy shade during the winter months because the winter sun sits so low on the horizon that it causes the trees that edge our property to block the sun for much of the day. Given this fact, a sufficiently large amount of crops must have been grown to provide adequate fall / winter supply and harvesting must be done judiciously to spread the benefit of the fresh harvests out over the greatest period of time possible. The trick is to use stored and preserved items for the most part, but to augment that with regular infusions of fresh harvests. Having enough of both supplies and knowing how to pace yourself through each of them during the winter season is something that you pretty much have to learn through personal experience, because every garden's capacity to produce, and every family's needs, are going to be different. Unfortunately, just as you start thinking you're getting pretty good at balancing both parts of the equation (fresh harvests and stored items) something changes to mix it up again! In our case, our daughter moved away to attend college and suddenly the household I was feeding was down by one person.
Another critical component of keeping the garden working as much as possible throughout the year is to keep the pipeline going that adds new items to the growing mix. There is a window of time in the late fall where I stop planting anything and I am currently in that time period, but it does not last very long. By the end of December or first part of January, I am starting hardy greens inside under grow lights and in the warmth of the house or shop, so that they are ready to be tucked in under the protection of the grow tunnel or greenhouse in early February (or soon afterwards) to take advantage of the gradual increase in day length and sun strength that starts really happening after Imbolc (most of us know it as Ground Hogs Day and is the mid-point between winter solstice and the spring equinox). Plants begin responding to the increasing day length and sun strength and slightly warmer conditions by once again growing (although slowly in this early period). Having some new crops coming along is a real help as the winter storage foods start becoming depleted in March and April, and the summer garden crops are still many months away at that point. The steady schedule of regular succession planting really gets started thereafter and keeps going until once again late fall arrives. While it is too early to start these next generation transplants, it is not too early to assess whether the seeds needed for this mid-winter seed starting are on hand.
What is happening in your fall / winter garden and how are you doing on the levels of fresh harvests and stored items? Are they keeping up with your vegetable needs?

EgyptAir's operations have not been seriously affected by ongoing civil unrest in the country, according to its corporate communications director.
Speaking at a ceremony organised by the Star Alliance in Addis Ababa to celebrate Ethiopian Airlines' entry into the grouping, EgyptAir director of corporate communications Mohamed Rahma said: "Since July, the situation has not been bad, but it is not optimum."
He said that the current situation was not comparable to the capacity crisis that followed the Egyptian revolution in February, during which the airline's revenues were down by around 80%, operations ran at only 50% and loads ran at about 30%.
EgyptAir offered more international flights in October than in the same month in 2010, as a result of opening new routes including Baghdad and Erbil in Iraq, as well as increasing frequencies from Egypt to the Far East.
Rahma said that in addition to providing more services than before the revolution, the airline would launch routes in its summer 2012 schedule which it had initially intended to operate during summer 2011.
These include Kigali in Rwanda, Abidjan in Ivory Coast and Toronto in Canada. He said that the Egyptian flag carrier is also studying the possibility of opening a route to Washington from Cairo.
In addition, Rahma said that EgyptAir would resume routes to Tokyo and Osaka in its summer schedule for 2012, which it had temporarily suspended due to the crises experienced by Egypt and Japan during 2011.

Over 40 years combined experience in the chrome plating industry. We have extensive experience with motorcycle, car and truck parts. We also have experience with architectural parts and home furnishings.
We offer a triple chrome process to ensure the best quality and a lasting finish. Every chromed part comes with a one year warranty that covers peeling and fading.
Before bringing in your parts please remember to bring only the parts to be plated without any misc parts attached such as wires, cords, brake lines and bumper brackets. All parts must be completely disassembled. We do charge a $50 fee on bumpers for disassembly and bracket removal.
Every part is stripped down to the bare metal and most dents and dings repaired. We then polish the part to a mirror shine before plating. We also offer other polishing services such as custom grinding, satin finishes and more.

Take a tour of logical partitioning on the AS/400! Logical partitioning allows one physical system to be divided into multiple logical partitions, each endowed with its own resources and capable of running independently. This IBM Redbooks publication discusses the logical partitioning revolution on the AS/400 system. It is designed for all levels of understanding. It targets the person who simply needs an overall view of logical partitioning on the AS/400 system. And, it targets the technical people who will be actively engaged in devising solutions that involve logical partitioning, creating partitioned machines, and managing and operating them.
A shift to a more consolidated view of computer systems has triggered a renewed increase in machine sizes capable of consolidating multiple environments. The AS/400 system has embraced this trend by increasing its size and implementing logical partitioning, the concept of independent logical machines within large physical machines. This book is about the logical partitioning revolution on the AS/400 system. It is a new weapon in the AS/400 system's already rich armory.
Logical partitioning dates back to 1976, when IBM experimented with the S/370. Other hardware manufacturers followed this IBM path with various flavors of the concept. By 1997, companies such as Amdahl, Hitachi, and SUN, along with IBM, had their own versions of system partitioning. In 1999, the AS/400 system burst onto the scene with its own implementation.
Here is a brief guide to the chapters of this book:
- Chapter 1 explains the basic concepts of logical partitioning and provides several scenarios where this new functionality can be beneficial.
- Chapter 2 offers practical information for the reader who needs to plan and implement a logical planning solution. This chapter has numerous references to other existing publications for finer detail as required.
- Chapter 3 considers the aftermath of logical partitioning and addresses itself mainly to the day-to-day routine of working with logical partitioning.
- Chapters 4 and 5 extend Chapter 3 and deal with change management and problem management in the context of logical partitioning.
- Chapter 6 discusses capacity planning and performance. It provides valuable insight in the task of initially assessing the suitability of implementing logical partitioning in a given situation, developing the logical partitioning configuration to fit the situation, and ensuring the continued optimal performance of the installation.
- Chapter 7 explains the crucial topic of high-speed communication between logical partitions. This is one of the many remarkable features of logical partitioning.
- The book contains appendices and references to other publications.
This material is also beneficial to IBM customers, IBM Business Partners, and IBM technical staff. Regardless of your level of expertise, this book tells you all you need to know about logical partitioning on the AS/400 system.
