The Black Keys are arguably the best rock band in music right now, and we're not the only ones who think so. Fresh off the release of their seventh studio album, El Camino, the Akron, Ohio, duo has been popping up everywhere: The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard albums chart, they scored the January 2012 cover of Rolling Stone, and they kicked ass and took names during their December 2011 appearance on "Saturday Night Live." Oh, and they're headlining Coachella. BOOM.

Cullen's New Favorite Activity (VIDEO)Emily Malone
I'm always a little envious when I hear other moms talking about how much their baby loves books. Books are some of the first gifts any new mom receives – board books, plush books, soft fuzzy books, and classic storybooks. As a pregnant mom-to-be, I had so many visions of me and my son rocking peacefully as I read him bedtime stories each night. As it turns out, we do plenty of rocking, but my little guy has no interest in the stories.
Now don't get me wrong. He LOVES books! Loves eating them, throwing them, and banging on them. His new favorite activity is to knock his books out of his little bookshelves. It provides hours of entertainment, as I restock the bookshelf over and over and over again. Watch the video below!
(Please ignore my obnoxious cheering…)
I spent half the time restocking the bookshelf, and the other half trying to make sure he doesn't bang his forehead into the corner of the shelves. I'm considering wrapping it in foam until his balance is a little more well developed. He may not love stories just yet, but at least we've found a use for them until he does.

3rd Fleet to skip some trips; onboard tours for S.D. Fleet Week in peril
San Diego The Navy's San Diego-based 3rd Fleet will save more than $1.2 million by not sending ships to Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles for fleet week celebrations this year.
In San Diego, the tradition of ship tours also is likely to be scrapped at this year's Fleet Week celebration, according to the civilian San Diego Fleet Week Foundation — even though the warships are already here in San Diego Bay.
Last year's two-day Sea Festival at San Diego Naval Base — which consisted mainly of tours of ships assigned to the base and some onshore displays — didn't require the Navy to spend anything extra, a base spokeswoman said.
But Fleet Week's Alexandra Squires said her group thought the event did affect the base, and it cost roughly $100,000 for the foundation to support.
"As funding has become tighter in 2013, and that event has significant costs involved," it was put on hold, said Squires, executive director of the nonprofit foundation.
The Navy usually sends two or three San Diego-based warships to West Coast fleet weeks under the banner of public outreach.
It costs money for fuel — for example, the round-trip bill for Seattle Seafair last year was $1.1 million, according to a 3rd Fleet spokeswoman. But the Navy says it would spend that fuel money on training, anyway.
So the real savings of the cancellations is the cash the Navy would spend on community outreach and logistics at a civilian port.
For Seattle last year, that cost was $727,000. For the Portland Rose Festival, it was $482,000. The cost for Los Angeles Navy Days wasn't immediately available.
The Navy has scratched public outreach events in light of a $45 billion reduction in the 2013 Pentagon budget because of cuts known as sequestration. The most prominent was the cancellation of all 2013 Blue Angels performances.
That loss was a death blow to some U.S. air shows, such as at Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia Beach, Va.
The cancellation of Navy ship visits sank Los Angeles Navy Days this year. San Francisco Fleet Week will be scaled back because of the loss of the Blue Angels and the warships.
Seattle's Seafair will go on with the civilian Patriots Jet Team instead. In San Diego, the Miramar Air Show is still on for the Oct. 4-6 weekend.
A spokesman said the Marine Corps' portion of the show will be larger than last year. The roster probably will include at least one civilian performance team, Maj. Carl Redding said.

Udonis Haslem drug charge dropped
Updated: September 20, 2010, 9:45 AM ETAssociated Press
MIAMI -- Prosecutors have dropped all marijuana possession charges against Miami Heat forward Udonis Haslem, simply saying the case could not be proven.
Haslem's attorney, Eric Schwartzreich, told The Associated Press that he received a call with the decision Thursday afternoon.
"The State Attorney's Office will not be able to file charges," Assistant State Attorney Errol Portman wrote in what's known as a "no action" memo.
Haslem expressed relief that the situation was over.

We have a number of stored procedures that run on startup via the sp_procoption startup:
exec sp_procoption 'ProcName', 'startup, 'true'
A customer's server started up with a very large database in recovery mode. This is a large database, so recovery will take a long while to complete.
According to the docs:
Execution of the stored procedures starts when all databases are recovered and the "Recovery is completed" message is logged at startup.
The startup procs were not run because the system is in recovery mode, and our software doesn't work if they aren't run. We can run these procs manually to get the system working.
However, after the recovery completes, will the startup procs be run again? That would be bad for us, because as written the procs drop some tables that may be in use by people since the server restarted.

How to Lay Paving Slabs
Laying paving slabs is a useful skill to learn as it will allow you to construct paths and patios. In this guide we provide you with full step-by-step instructions and an excellent instructional video to help you lay paving slabs that will not lift or sink and will look beautiful for years to come.
Step 1
In order to successfully lay paving slabs you will need the right tools for the job, so here's a list of what you'll need:
- Angle Grinder
- Gloves
- Tape Measure
- Brick Bolster
- Compactor
- Spade
- String
- Brick Trowel
- Pencil
- Square
- Club Hammer or Rubber Mallet
- Spirit Level
- Sponge
- Watering Can
- Goggles
- Mask
- Ear Defenders
Step 2
Now that you have all the right tools to do the job you'll need the materials, and here's a handy list of those that you will need:
- Cement
- Granular Sub-Base
- Paving Slabs – there are lots of varieties to choose from and prices vary.
- Sharp Sand
Step 3
Now that you have both the tools and materials it's time to get started on the project. In the introduction we mentioned that paving slabs can be used for either paths or patios and the principle of laying them is the same.
Step 4
Start by taking your string and mark out the course of your path. You will need to create a parallel string line so that you have the width of the path as well as the length.
Take your hammer and hammer in wooden pegs along the course of the path both sides and then run the string lines the length of the path. You will now know exactly where your path will run and the overall width.
Quick Tip: Make the width wide enough for two people to stand side-by-side. To save you from having to cut paving slabs to fit the width of the path lay down 2, 3 or more slabs until two people can stand side-by-side. It doesn't matter if it's a little too wide providing you have sufficient room.
Step 5
With your string lines in place you can then take your spade and remove any turf within the string lines. Start by cutting down the string lines and then work your way through the middle of the string lines.
I would recommend you dig down to a depth of approximately 8 inches, to allow for a good bedding surface of sand and granular base.
Step 6
You should now have your path dug out and next you will need to hammer in some pegs either side at the height of the intended path, which is generally level, or slightly above the grass area either side.
Hammer in peg along both sides every 12 inches and place a spirit level from one side to the one, on the pegs, to ensure they are level to one another.
Step 7
It's now time to lay the hardcore base, so take the bags of granular base you purchased and tip these, along the entire length of the path, between the string lines.
Rake these level – you can use a garden rake or your spade to create an approximate level and even depth. Once you have a reasonable level along the length of the path you need to compact this well, so take the compactor that you purchased and tamper down the granular based, along the entire length, until it is well compacted and firm.
You can test it by walking up and down the path and it shouldn't feel overly loose under foot.
Step 8
Take your bags of cement and sharp sand and mix these as follows — 1 Part Cement / 9 Parts Sharp Sand. Mix the two well together and then shovel this along the length of the path. Take your rake and rake the cement/sand mix evenly along the entire length of the path.
Side Note: In this step we are using the 'Dry Lay' method. However if you want to use a 'Wet Mix' then mix 1 Part Cement / 5 Parts Sharp Sand and mix with water until the mixture is pliable. You can then lay the paving slabs by 'Spotting' - that is a spot of mortar on each corner and one in the middle for each paving slab you lay.
SAFETY: Don't forget to wear a Face Mask when mixing cement. It is highly dangerous to breath in cement dust.
Step 9
Lay each paving slab carefully in place so that the outer edges of the slab are in line with the string line.
SAFETY: Don't forget to wear your gloves as paving slabs can be sharp in places.
Step 10
Take a short, thick piece of timber and use this to buffer the impact from the Rubber Mallet as you tap each paving slab down to the level of the pegs you set. Make sure each paving slab is firmly in place with no rocking movement. Take your Spirit Level and run this over the paving slab to ensure each one is level.
Step 11
If you find that you have to cut a paving slab then this is best done with an Angle Grinder. Firstly measure the amount you need to cut off and the with straight edge, such as a length of timber of metal ruler, mark the straight line with your Brick Bolster.
SAFETY: When cutting a paving slab with an Angle Grinder ensure that you wear Gloves, Face Mask, Eye Goggles and Ear Defenders.
Start the Angle Grinder and working above the paving slab, slowly lower the disc onto the line. Do Not force the disc but instead allow the weight of the Angle Grinder to do the work. You should find that as you work along the line the Angle Grinder will almost pull itself along the line and all you need to do is guide it.
Cut along the entire length to a depth of approximately 1/4 inch and then work back and forth along the line until you have cut through about 2/3 the depth of the paving slab. Rest the slab on a piece of timber very near the cut line and then take your Club Hammer and rap down sharply – the paving slab should break cleanly along the line you cut.
Step 12
As you lay your paving slabs down the length of your path you will want to create a slight fall, so that rain water runs off. You can do this by taping a piece of wood, 5cm thick, to one end of your Spirit Level. This will create a 5cm slope for every 10 feet of the length of your path.
Step 13
Check each paving slab you lay, behind and opposite, to ensure that you retain a level and that no edges, from one paving slab to the other protrudes above one another.
This will give you a nice even surface to walk along. If you find a particular paving slab is too low, then lift it and add more cement/sand mix and then relay it.
Step 14
Once all your paving slabs are laid you need to fill in the joints and to do this you'll need to make up a mix of – 1 Part Cement to 3 Parts Sharp Sand. Take the mixture and trowel it in the joints and above the slab and then squeeze it into the joints with the trowel, ensuring it is well compacted.
Step 15
When all the joints have been filled and compacted take a soft head broom or hand brush and sweep away any excess cement/sand mix.
Take your watering can and with a fine rose head attachment lightly sprinkle water along the joints and this will help set the cement/sand mix. If you find mortar on the slabs DO NOT leave it – take a damp sponge and give each paving slab a good clean.
Step 16
You should now have a beautiful paving slab path. You should give the path a day or two before subjecting it to heavy foot traffic as this will allow the cement/sand mix to cure and secure the paving slabs firmly in place.

The game of blackjack is one of the most popular casino games; the reason for its years of popularity could have a lot to do with the effortless mix of skill and chance needed in order to reach the illustrious '21'.
Platinum Play Online Casino is renowned for its collection of blackjack games on offer; here is a bit more about the game...
Also known as 'Twenty-One' or 'Vingt-en-un', the premise surrounding blackjack remains simple: beat the Dealer's hand by getting either a better hand than his (that does not exceed 21) or if the Dealer's hand goes bust.
Played with between one and six standard decks of 52 playing cards, blackjack contains ample excitement and fast-paced action for all.
'Blackjack' is when your card hand contains both an Ace and a card with a 10 value. This is the strongest hand that you would want to receive during the game, as this will mean automatic winning; regardless of what the Dealer is holding, if your two cards reveal a Blackjack, you cannot be beaten. It can be matched by the Dealer, but never beaten; the chances of the Dealer matching this hand are slim, so the chances of you winning on a Blackjack hand are extremely impressive!
Card values are simple to understand, firstly:
A total of nine additional cards can be drawn to add to the original two cards you received at the start of the game. A total of eleven cards can be dealt to you in one single game. However, out of the additional cards that are drawn, the total card value has to remain under 21, otherwise, you will have then gone bust.
If, after you have received all of the eleven available cards and you still have not reached 21, you will then be required to stand on that round, at which point the Dealer will reveal his hand.
The Dealer is required to stand on all hands with the value of 17; he is required to draw on a hand that has a value of 16.
Push: this is what it is called when and if you and the Dealer have a hand that ends up in a tie. A push also occurs when both you and the Dealer have blackjack. At this point, your original bet will be paid back to you. If however the Dealer gets Blackjack after you have split or doubled, the full amount that you bet (including your original and double/split totals) will be lost.
Once you have received your original two cards, there are certain options that you can take:
With variety being the spice of life, here at Platinum Play that sentiment is taken to the extremes with a wide variety of blackjack games to choose from. There are three types of blackjack you can play at the casino:
Here are some of the fan favourites to choose from:
So take your pick and show the Dealer just what you're made of!

Analysing the role of business-to-business media in South Africa in the emergence of communities of practice.
Marsland, Louise.
The purpose of this dissertation was to understand and analyse the facilitative role of specialist and niche business-to-business (trade) media in the emergence of communities of practice, part of the knowledge management discipline, using models from systems theory to assist in the qualitative research process. First, it was considered how to define communities of practice and business-tobusiness (B2B) media. How communities of practice (CoPs) emerge and why they are an important part of a management toolkit going forward in business, is described. Sharing knowledge emerged as the key to the creation of CoPs as well as being the core currency that business-to-business media trade in to service their stakeholders. How learning takes place through shared experience, narratives and storytelling emerged as essential to how knowledge is created. Soft systems methodology as the analytical lens through which to measure the data set was also investigated once it was decided to use a qualitative inductive approach to collating and analysing the data. A semi-structured interview schedule was employed and 17 research subjects interviewed. The respondents to this study were drawn from leading media houses in South Africa, including award-winning B2B publications, bar one from a US online think tank on new media. The impact of new media technologies/internet on communication and the distribution of information and engagement of communities in the CoP and B2B space, was a strong theme throughout this dissertation. The findings revealed that while communities of practice is not a widely used term in the networks that B2B media utilise to embed themselves in industries, it is true that some of the networks and associations they are close to and derive meaning from, do in fact contain characteristics common to CoPs and could be termed CoPs, even when formally unrecognised as such. What was a stronger theme emerging from the data was that B2B media could in fact benefit more from facilitating CoPs to aid information gathering and improve credibility within the industry sectors they serve. B2B media in South Africa, in particular, were regarded as immature and sometimes lacking in ethics and innovation, according to respondents. To improve their sustainability, several characteristics emerged from the research that B2B media should focus on as a 'model for sustainability': 1) Special interest/niche communities - to assist in building knowledge assets; 2) Sustainability - through a multi-media platform business model; 3) Values - for application to serve their industry sectors; 4) Educational role through the facilitation of networks such as CoPs; and, 5) Communication channels - utilised for deeper engagement with their communities in emergent new media models where their own stakeholders were influencing content. The value inherent in this dissertation lies in the original research undertaken into the B2B media industry in South Africa which has not been formally studied, particularly not from a knowledge management perspective. This study could also be of interest to knowledge management practitioners who are interested in the role specialist media can play in aiding CoPs with information for knowledge creation.

Japan Finance Minister Aso made clear that the government doesn't have to include an accord with the BoJ. Bloomberg had reported an estimation of ¥10Trillion in regard to the size of the Fiscal 2012 Suplementary Budget, but Japan newspaper Yomiuri takes it further, ¥12/13Trillion.
The 200-week moving average, at 114.88. is a key juncture on the chart as well as a medium term upside objective and "we would not be surprised to see some consolidation in this zone", wrote Commerzbank analyst Karen Jones, pointing to support for dips at 111.43/57 (October 2011 high, March 2012 high and the short term uptrend).

Money called key to Holmes Street development
Published 12:00 am Sunday, March 30, 2003
Residents and city officials got some advice and discussed some ideas about how to proceed in making improvements to the Holmes Street neighborhood, the latest step in a long push to revitalize what some consider a depressed area.
The City Commission held a retreat Friday and Saturday at the Thornhill Baptist Church to get comments in hopes of proceeding with redevelopment.
Ideas such as a low-interest loan pool or establishing a redevelopment corporation with a board of directors to oversee projects have been brought up for the past two years. No official proposal has gone before the commission, however.
John Talbert, director of community development for the city of Henderson, is familiar with the Holmes Street situation. His department redeveloped an older neighborhood in Henderson with similar drainage problems.
"Unless you have the money identified for the plans, the plans are worthless," Talbert told a group of about 40 residents along with city officials Friday night.

That's a really interesting choice for a sea texture; up close it reminds me a little of Van Gogh swirls. The shape of the island looks nice, and the captions are fun. Good job man.
Being a student, I am half the time stressed out by the sheer amount of work I am issued, and with the end-of-year examinations coming right around the corner, I find myself needing an escape from reality and ways to 'de-stress', so after having been a site lurker for a few long months, I've finally (after stealing a few hours every once in a while) managed to come up with my second map. Here's the Isle of Crest
I am not too satisfied about the placement of the text themselves as they are admittedly really messy. I should probably revise the paragraphs too Meanwhile, what was intended to be a delta didn't work out too well, either. (To the map west)
Reviews and criticism will be appreciated!
//It turns out the file size was too large to be uploaded, so I have lowered the quality to 90% and converted it to a JPEG. Apparently that shrunk the size by up to 7 times >_>//
That's a really interesting choice for a sea texture; up close it reminds me a little of Van Gogh swirls. The shape of the island looks nice, and the captions are fun. Good job man.
I think it looks great - the textures are unusual but effective.
But I'd give a little colour-blind comment again. I can hardly make out the red texts Red texts on brownish-greenish backgrounds (and vice versa) are hell for colour-blind people, so you may end up with people not seeing what you want them to see.
Yeah, very poor contrast and readability. Just about everything on the map is of medium intensity and high saturation. It's hard to read even with normal colour vision.
"Here lies the Great hills of sand. Wander in not, for many never return."
You've got a plurality agreement problem, some odd capitalization, and the language is just a bit ungainly in places. You might try something more like:
"Here stand The Great Hills of Sand. Those who brave them seldom return."
I dunno, I quite like the "Wander in not, for many never return".
I also like the colours, of everything except the red text. The map itself is to me quite clear, though the forests look 'sunken'. And, as mentioned, the Van Gogh style sea is good.
I am a geology nerd.
That's a fun little map - I like the 'narrative notes'. The swirly water is a neat touch. Ditto the above comments on legibility - the red gets lost way too easily. Yeah, the delta is kind of a fail - there's not enough river upstream to gather a lot of sediments to settle out when the river meets the sea. A delta isn't so much what can happen when a river nears the shore, as it is what happens to the dropped mud and silt when the water slows upon entering the ocean. So they tend to stick out, not extend in. It would work fine to break those distributaries free and make several smaller streams separately entering the ocean; maybe erase others altogether.
You might could keep the same effect you have going with the ocean by lightening and desaturating it some - your text blocks would suddenly work better. I like the overall palette - nice work.

What distinguishes you from your opponent?
Karen Aud
I know what it takes to run the entire office of county clerk. The knowledge of operations I have obtained over the years is crucial. My life experiences have helped me develop the compassion and patience often needed to be an effective leader to staff and a servant to the public.
Jay Phelps
We just have different ideas and visions for the future of the clerk's office. I want to use my technological skills to move the office forward into the 21st century. I don't want to just sit at a desk; I want to make a difference in the lives of the employees, customers, voters and the taxpayers.
What do you see as the role of the Bartholomew County clerk?
Karen Aud
The clerk is the administrator of the judicial system. We work with the court staff to carry out the orders of the judges. The clerk's office serves as the recipient of all court fees, judgments and child-support payments. The clerk is also the administrator of all elections and maintains the voter-registration records.
Jay Phelps
The clerk's office is the custodian of court records and it is vital that we maintain the posterity, accuracy and accessibility of these court documents. The county clerk serves as the chief elections officer of the county (and) it is very crucial that we continue to make sure that our voter rolls are 100 percent accurate.
Are there any changes, improvements that you would like to see in the clerk's office?
Karen Aud
There is always room for betterment and growth. I would like to lead the staff in taking customer service to a higher level. I also see a need for written standard operating procedures for the many tasks of our departments. I look forward to overseeing the initial year for vote centers in Bartholomew County.
Jay Phelps
One of the biggest changes is the implementation of vote centers (and) I have the knowledge and expertise to successfully implement it in Bartholomew County. I will always be looking for ways to improve our service to the community, such as cross training of employees, to allow the office to be more effective and efficient.

How soon does morning sickness come?

I'm one of the "lucky" ones who feels sick from almost the moment of conception. I felt sick from not quite three weeks pregnant. For the first two weeks, it was off and on, and when I found for sure that I was pregnant, it seemed to get a bit worse (around four weeks). I'm at the end of six weeks now, and this has been my worst week. Books that say morning sickness doesn't start earlier than four weeks don't know me.posted 10/19/2007 by KatieK83
i'm about 7 weeks pregnant and i feel a constant queasiness in the center of my stomach. i feel like i'm constantly on the edge of throwing up, sometimes close to the edge and sometimes a further away, depending on the moment. i'm not actually throwing-up but i'm wondering if that would give me some relief? sometimes i can burp but that doesn't really do much to ease the nausea. my belly is also feeling the way it does after thanksgiving dinner... like i've eaten too much and it's calling out to me for attention. also the nausea feels a bit like hunger. but food isn't that appealing when i'm making it, then i'm starving when it's actually in front of me, and find myself shoveling it down... then feeling sick afterwards. i don't feel like going anywhere or seeing anybody... just want to curl up in bed with my nausea and my upset/growing belly.posted 10/31/2008 by rach_in_bayarea
My morning sickness arrived the day my period was due, a day before I tested. Queasiness for most of the day. Eating actually helps, and worse when I'm hungry.posted 01/02/2008 by feebee130
Morning sickness can hit you almost as soon as you find out your pregnant because the hormones are starting to build up enough at that point. Try to find something that you can tolerate and eat frequent small meals. With this pregnancy, the only thing I could eat for about 2 months was onion bagels and the dr. told me that was ok as long as I made sure I kept taking my prenatals. But I would make sure to let your dr. know if it is really bad o r continues beyond your first trimester.posted 09/14/2007 by angyrobbins
I am 7 weeks and I just started feeling sick today. Every time I try to eat I feel like I'm going to get sick.posted 10/15/2007 by jamaica
Amen - sister! You are absolutely right! And they don't know me either!!! This is my second pregnancy, and I was sick off and on around the 2 week mark well.posted 01/28/2008 by delonsbaby
I was just like you when I was pregnant with my daughter. I was sick and throwing up at 2-3 weeks pregnant. I hadn't even missed a period yet! Everyone is different, but I stayed sick throughout my entire pregnancy. I threw up until the morning I had her. It was horrible. They do have pills that can help with it, but they will make you tired. They were miracle pills for me though! Good Luck! Hope you don't stay sick as long as I did!posted 11/18/2008 by codynlaura
Im 5 weeks pregnant, and have no symptoms. My last pregnancy I was sick from my 4th weeks until my last month. My doctor gave me some pills to make the sickness go away. One pill a day. It worked.posted 10/29/2007 by abzun831

LANGERON, Count Louis Alexandre Andrault de
(1763-1831) General
Count Louis Alexandre Andrault de Langeron was one of many French émigrés in the Russian service. He was born in Paris on 24 January 1763, into a French noble family. His first experience of battle was in the American War of Independence. He then served at Caracas and Saint Domingo in 1782 - 1783, before being promoted up the ranks in the French army to colonel of the Armagnac Regiment in 1788. Langeron joined the Russian Army besieging the Ottoman Fortress of Izmail in 1790. He was awarded a golden sword for his courage and enterprise during the siege, and he remained in the Russian service for the rest of his life. Langeron went on to serve in the Prince of Saxony-Teschen's Army against the French in the Netherlands, before being sent as a military observer to the Austrian Army in Northern France and the Netherlands in 1793 - 1794. Langeron then transferred to the Malorossiisk Grenadiers Regiment in August 1795, before being promoted to brigadier and then major general and chef of the Ufa Musketeer Regiment by 2 June 1797. He was later given the title count of the Russian Empire by Emperor Paul. On 24 August 1800, he became head of the infantry troops of the Brest-Litovsk Inspection. Langeron participated in the Battle of Austerlitz in the 1805 campaign, in which his poor performance almost cost him his career. He was disgraced and sent to Odessa. He subsequently redeemed himself fighting against the Ottomans from 1806 - 1811. On 19 August he became head of the 22nd Division, and took part in the Battle of Ruse in 1811, which hastened his promotion to general of infantry on 3 September. Langeron did not feature prominently in the 1812 campaign, and was much more heavily involved in the later campaigns against Napoleon in continental Europe. Nevertheless he commanded the 1st Corps of the Army of the Danube, and saw action at Brest-Litovsk and at Berezina. In 1813 he was the senior Russian officer in Blücher's Russo-Prussian Army. He excellently directed the blockade of Torun (Thorn), a major fortress commanding a key crossing of the Vistula that was blocking all use of the river of the river for transporting supplies. Langeron also took part in many of the battles of 1813, notably Bautzen, Lowenberg, Katzbach, and Leipzig. In the 1814 campaign Langeron was also very active, fighting at Soissons, Craonne, Laon, Rheims, Le Fère Champenoise and storming Paris from the North, through Montmartre. During the Hundred Days he led his army from the Rhine to Alsace Lorraine where his men blockaded the fortresses there until the capitulation after Waterloo. Count Langeron subsequently returned to Russia and was appointed Military Governor of various provinces, including Odessa. He was relieved of his duties on 26 May due to poor health, and travelled to France in the following two years. Yet he also fought in the Russo-Turkish War of 1828 - 1829. He then remained in Odessa for two years, before travelling to St. Petersburg in 1831 where, on 16 July 1831, he died during the Cholera epidemic.

RISMEDIA, August 24, 2009-Single family home sales activity in each New England state showed double digit increases in June 2009 over the previous month, according to RE/MAX of New England, an indication that the housing market is beginning to stabilize and consumer confidence has strengthened as a result of the economy, according to the Housing Market Outlook and Forecast, presented by RE/MAX of New England.
According to the Associated Press-RE/MAX National Housing Report, many of New England's major hubs are far surpassing the national increase. Transactions in Manchester, NH are up 47.2%, Boston, MA is up 40.2%, Hartford, CT is up 26.8%, Augusta, ME is up 21.5%, and Providence, RI, which has the second highest unemployment rate in the nation, reports transactions up 20.6% versus the prior month.
Jay Hummer, Executive Vice President of RE/MAX of New England said, "We've certainly rebounded from the October through March days. And, we have brought back a market similar to last year's market before October's crash. We're actually looking at some semblance of a normal market; the total shut-off that we experienced from October through March is behind us and people are buying homes again. Unfortunately, foreclosures will continue to put pressure on home pricing and value."
An even more positive sign is that months of inventory have begun to decrease. Months of inventory are measured by the number of active listings over pending sales. A balanced market is considered five to seven months of inventory. States hit hardest by the economic downturn – California, Nevada and Florida – are also showing improvement. Los Angeles, CA transactions are up 4.4% (The California Realtors' Association reports that sales in CA as a whole are up 20.1%) and inventory is at 2.7 months; Las Vegas, NV are up 17.3% with 3.0 months of inventory, and Orlando and Tampa, FL are up 14.9% and 17.6% respectively with 5.7 months of inventory in Orlando and 5.9 months in Tampa. Said Hummer, "Unemployment will continue to be a concern throughout the rest of 2009, and certainly into 2010. However, people with job security are out there buying and with prices still affordable, we're seeing the move-up buyer market expand, as well as those looking for investment opportunities."
Another area to watch according to Hummer is the home appraisal system. On May 1, 2009, the Home Valuation Code of Conduct was created. It's the result of a joint agreement between Freddie Mac, the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the NY State Attorney General that mandates the use of an independent appraisal company to fairly assess the value of a seller's mortgage. "Pooling appraisers who are not familiar with the area is affecting the marketplace drastically and will continue to affect how smoothly sales take place over the course of the year," continued Hummer. "Many appraisers are under-appraising fairly priced homes because of nearby foreclosures, which, in turn, causes banks to put the brakes on writing mortgages." Hummer anticipates this will be a hot button area to watch as the year progresses and the market gets busier due to the impending First Time Homebuyer Credit deadline.

Aniline Dyes
- • Page 1
- • Page 2
Page 2
For use, stir the dye powder into hot water, as shown left. (Don't mix it in boiling water; straight hot tap water works fine.) Rubber gloves will keep you from having fancy-colored fingertips. The standard concentration is 1 oz. of powder to 1 qt. of water. To mix smaller amounts, dissolve about 1/4 tsp. of powder into 8 oz. of water; about 1/8 tsp. into 4 oz. From this starting point, you can adjust the dye color to suit your taste. Just add more water to reduce color intensity, or add dye powder to increase it. After mixing, let the dye cool. Then strain the solution through a coffee filter or nylon stocking, as shown at left, before applying it to the wood. Label the aniline dye containers.
Tips on dyeing the wood Sand the project as you would for staining or clear finishing. Do not seal or fill the wood; it must absorb the dye. Put on the dye by any convenient means--brushing, wiping, spraying, or dipping. You don't need top-quality brushes to apply aniline dyes. We found that inexpensive foam brushes work just great. The easiest application method calls for two brushes. Paint on the dye with one brush, keeping the work surface wet, as shown. Wipe away any excess with another brush. Dye strength controls the color, so you don't need to worry about uneven coats. We found that brush marks and laps posed no problem. If we kept the surface uniformly wet, the color invariably came out smooth and even. Allow the first application to dry 24 hours. The water-based dye raises the wood grain, so sand away the fuzz with 320-grit abrasive. Clean off the sanding dust, and dye the wood again. Let this application dry, then buff the surface with a white Scotch-Brite pad. You can apply any clear finish to the dyed wood.

Finishing and Refinishing Techniques
I discovered that when using Solarez UV Finish, if you first use Alcohol/Acetone Soluble Aniline dyes, and then apply their sealer, that when wiping off the excess sealer, (as recommended) most of the Dye will come off with it. No problem whatsoever when first using W/B anilines, be warned. Gb bg11/13/2015 08:45:30 PM Report Abuse
When I used to have to match a finish on an antique, I'd start with an aniline dye dissolved in alcohol. Then I would apply oil with or without pigment. Then I would sometimes add pigment to a sealer or finish coat. But I like the way wood and finishes age. It takes practice to avoid really screwing up your finishes, but if you're successful, you get a richer look.2/3/2011 04:06:19 PM Report Abuse
I was given a grandfather clock kit partially finished. The stain is on it and it has been there a long time. I tried stripper and it is lighter, but is still there.7/2/2010 11:46:16 AM Report Abuse
If you wiped off the excess pretty soon, you should be able to sand it out without much trouble.7/1/2010 06:51:54 PM Report Abuse
Some dye got spilled on a project. how do I get it off?7/1/2010 02:58:34 PM Report Abuse
You have to be careful with the finish you use over the dye. Do not use a finish with the same base that you mixed the dye with. For example, if using the dye mixed with alcohol, then use a water based finish.7/1/2010 11:20:45 AM Report Abuse
I've completely left stains for dyes. Not mentioned in the above article is that dyes have smaller colorant particles than stains so they work better with difficult to stain woods like poplar or maple. I mix my dyes with alcohol which dries faster and raises the grain less though I also spray rather than brushing.1/7/2010 05:56:49 AM Report Abuse

Take a nice, bit hit off that joint, bong, or vaporizer. Now hold in your hit of marijuana smoke for… how long?
That's just one of many questions marijuana users have about marijuana inhalation.
If you're a vaporizer fan, you're probably taking in a lot less particulates.
On the other hand, unless you've got a high-end professional vaporizer that operates at the right temperatures, you might not be getting optimal vaporization of all the cannabinoids you want.
Either way, you're taking something hot into your lungs, and in that something are cannabinoids, the marijuana inhalation ingredients that most people associate with getting high.
The target cannabinoid: tetrahydrocannabinol, otherwise known as THC.
Vaporizers are advertised as cleaner than smoking lit weed through a joint, pipe or bong.
There are less particulates and sometimes less heat to irritate your throat and lungs.
But just how harmful is it, if harmful at all, to light marijuana with flame and inhale it?
And what can we do to reduce the harm of combusted marijuana, and get the most THC into our bloodstream fast?
Many marijuana users and critics were surprised to hear the results of a 2012 University of California San Francisco (UCSF) study that discovered that marijuana smokers do less damage to their lungs than cigarette smokers…and that marijuana may even help the lungs.
Most of us have long been puzzled as to why marijuana is illegal and you can get sent to prison for growing, using or selling it, while tobacco is not only legal but the government taxes it, subsidizes it and allows it to be sold almost everywhere.
Despite what the tobacco companies say, cigarettes are deadly.
They cause nearly half a million deaths per year, and that's just in the United States.
According to World Health Organization worldwide estimates, at least six million people die each year from smoking cigarettes.
So far, nobody has documented a case of someone dying from smoking marijuana.
But hold on a minute, the UCSF study found that, duh, smoke is smoke.
When you burn plant material and take it into your lungs, you're taking in some pretty bad stuff, whether it's a marijuana cigarette or a Marlboro.
Of course, the anti-marijuana folks are still pushing the line that marijuana is terrible for your lungs.
The British Lung Foundation (BLF) (a pharmaceutical industry front group posing as a public health advocate) recently sent out dire warnings claiming that one joint could do as much damage to you as 20 cigarettes, and that marijuana causes lung cancer.
When critics asked BLF to explain the National Institute of Health study showing there was absolutely no connection between marijuana smoking and lung cancer, and asking BLF's leaders for scientific evidence to back up its anti-marijuana claims, the BLF declined comment.
Marijuana Helps the Lungs, and Does Far Less Damage Than Cigarettes
So how and why is marijuana less harmful to the lungs than cigarettes, and in some cases helpful to the lungs?
Start with the fact that marijuana contains cannabinoids and other substances that expand bronchial pathways and actually increase lung capacity.
Further, marijuana contains substances that may be anti-carcinogenic, at least if preliminary studies are accurate.
Another reason marijuana smokers are treating their lungs better than cigarette smokers is because marijuana smokers smoke less plant material.
Even the most hardcore marijuana smoker is only consuming at most a few grams of marijuana per day, and by the way, if you're consuming more than a few grams per day of strong chronic, take a look at a couple of articles that might encourage you to cut back on the amount you're smoking so you protect your lungs and enjoy your THC more.
Hardcore cigarette addicts are smoking between about a gram of material per cigarette, but it isn't all tobacco.
It's paper, glue, and hundreds of manmade chemicals added to the cigarette by the corporate manufacturer.
Many of those materials are straight-up poisonous, and are designed to make cigarettes more addictive.
When somebody's smoking a pack of cigarettes or more per day, they're turning their lungs into black, dead things.
So now you see how marijuana smokers are hurting their lungs less, or actually helping their lungs, compared to cigarette smokers.
Properly-grown and cured marijuana is a natural healing herb, cigarettes contain addictive poisons, and marijuana smokers don't consume as much burned raw plant material in a week as cigarette smokers consume in a day.
But how long should you hold in your marijuana hit? Many smokers believe that the longer they hold it in, the more THC they absorb, and that's true up to a point.
Some of us have been told that if we do marijuana inhalation and we can't help but cough, that this indicates super-potent marijuana. You'll notice that different kinds of marijuana affect your lungs differently.
And I don't just mean different strains, I mean whether or not the marijuana is grown, flushed, dried and cured properly.
If you flush your crops using Flawless Finish to remove stored fertilizer salts and other contaminants, if your marijuana growing environment is free of particulates, molds and fungi, if you dry, cure and store your marijuana properly, your bud is sweet and kind and easy to hold in.
If you grow or flush with inferior hydroponics products, or if your buds are contaminated or improperly processed after harvest, you might take in a hit and it blasts its way out of your lungs in a second or two, ripping your respiratory tract as it exits.
The latest research on THC absorption via the lungs says holding in your marijuana hit from seven to eleven seconds gives your lungs the optimal amount of time to absorb as much THC as possible, without coating your lungs with particulates or depriving yourself of oxygen.
If you're smoking bubblehash, budder or some other concentrate, or using a vaporizer, you could hold your hit longer, or shorter, and still get the same amount of THC or even more THC, but be less worried about particulates that clog your lungs.
Bubblehash, budder and vaporizers are harm reduction methods that give you more THC with less smoke and particulates.
If you're smoking with a water-filtered device, know that some THC is being trapped in the water, and make sure you keep your water-filtered marijuana smoking device clean, especially by changing the water after each bowl you smoke.
If you think you're getting higher and higher by holding that marijuana inhalation in as long as possible, think again.
What you're really doing is creating an oxygen-deprivation effect, combined with building up C02 in your body.
Not a healthy thing to do.
Using Herbs to Help Your Lungs
To be honest, almost every chronic marijuana smoker I know is hacking and coughing pretty often. The UCSF study points out the obvious: if you smoke too much or too often, you will damage your lungs.
I've learned to use an ancient but highly-effective medical system from India, called Ayurveda, to keep my lungs clean and healthy.
There are Ayurvedic herbs known to cleanse the lungs, and you can actually add a couple of them into your bowl to smoke along with your marijuana. These are calamus, and gotu kola.
You can also get a prepared Ayurvedic formula in pill form that contains the right combination of Indian herbs for lung cleansing and rejuvenation.
Ayurveda also recommends a nasally-applied herbal oil called a nasya. You use an eye dropper to put this oil-herb blend into your nostrils and then inhale it up into your sinuses.
A side benefit of using Ayurvedic herbs is that they create extra energy, boost the immune system, and stimulate the mind.
Anti-marijuana people love to criticize marijuana by claiming no medicine should be smoked. But the smoking of plant materials for medical purposes has a history of success going back thousands of years.
And as modern science proves that marijuana inhalation in moderate amounts actually improves lung function, and is certainly less harmful than smoking cigarettes, we're reminded that marijuana's opponents don't have facts on their side.
You help yourself by not holding your hits too long, using bubblehash, honey oil or vaporizers, avoiding cigarettes, and respecting your lungs enough not to damage them.

When You Pray
When You Pray
Daily Bible reflections for Lent and Easter on the Lord's Prayer
Joanna Collicutt
The BRF Lent Book 2013
Joanna Collicutt provides the BRF Lent Book for 2013 based on the lesser-used version of the Lord's Prayer as found in Luke's Gospel.
Joanna writes: It arises from my increasing awareness in recent years that the Lord's Prayer contains all that Christians really need to know; it is the very essence of the gospel. It was the practice of the early church to prepare candidates for baptism during Lent by teaching them the Lord's Prayer and using it as the basis for instruction in the faith, sometimes supported by the creeds. In a society where most could not read or did not have access to a Bible and, before the final canon of the New Testament had even been agreed, where disputes about heresies raged, the Lord's Prayer could be held on to as the gift of Christ himself and a distillation of all that the Church understood him to be.
Through the readings Joanna demonstrates that for the Church today the prayer can, in the same way, provide the basics of everything needed for discipleship.
Praying the Lord's Prayer is an expression of and vehicle for our relationship with God. It enables us to imbibe gospel values and motivates us to live them out.
But this is not all. Joanna also explores the deeper level of the prayer.
We not only follow after Jesus and not only enjoy a relationship with Jesus, but also are somehow incorporated into Jesus… In praying the Lord's Prayer, human beings take on the character of Christ. We don't just act in obedience to Christ or in conformity with Christ, although, of course, we do both of these. In some very deep sense, we are incorporated into Christ and are 'in union' with Christ.
When you Pray begins by paying attention to Jesus' attitude to prayer as it is told by the Gospel writers before going on to examine each phrase of the Lord's Prayer. Joanna draws on current scholarship and the other Gospel accounts, writing throughout in a very accessible style.
The final week of readings follows the passion narrative as told by Luke, allowing the power of the narrative to be read without the distraction of commentary. Each day simply concludes by connecting themes from the narrative with themes from the Lord's Prayer studied in previous weeks so that the Lord's Prayer can be seen in the light of the passion of Christ.
The edition of the Lord's Prayer most familiar to the Church is found in Matthew's Gospel. The Luke edition is much shorter and has been chosen for this study because it will be less familiar to readers and will enable people to come to the study of the prayer afresh. The book includes questions for group discussion. An introductory video to the book and a video introduction to each week of readings will be made available free for use by individuals or Lent reading groups by BRF.
Joanna Collicutt is the Oxford Diocesan Adviser on the Spiritual Care of Older People and a Lecturer in Psychology and Spirituality at Ripon College Cuddesdon. She has published a number of books, including The Dawkins Delusion? (SPCK, 2007) with husband Alister McGrath.
When You Pray is published on 23 Nov 2012, priced £7.99, ISBN 9780857460899, pb, 208 pages. Available from your local Christian bookshop or directly from BRF.

When an individual commits a violent act, it is human nature to search for a reason why. In recent years, the usual scapegoat has been video games. This is particularly the case when a young individual commits a shooting. Media figures, like Jack Thompson, often insist there is a link between violent video games and individuals committing violent acts. However recent research and experiments seem to deny this link exists and some research evens points to video games having the opposite effect. This presentation will take an in-depth and critical look at these studies to show how the media has blown the role of video games in violent acts out of proportion.

NON RELINQUES means, "You will never give up on me."

Sunland, Inc., has expanded its voluntary recall to include all of the products manufactured at its peanut butter and nut manufacturing plant in Portales, New Mexico.
The plant was shut down on Saturday, after Trader Joe's recalled its Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter because it was linked to potential contamination with Salmonella, according to Katalin Coburn, Sunland's vice president for media relations.

When CNN highlighted some excellent historic restaurants in major cities across the country last month, readers wondered why their small-town and smaller-city favorites didn't make the cut. Thus, in this follow-up tribute to more laudable veteran restaurants, we've zeroed in - thanks to suggestions from our commenters - on the decades-old, and in certain cases centuries-old, icons that thrive outside of America's biggest metropolises.
Columbia Restaurant, 1905
The Hernandez/Gonzmart family claims the title of Florida's oldest restaurant and America's oldest Spanish restaurant with their 107-year-old icon Columbia in the Ybor City area of Tampa. What started as a corner cafe for the cigar workers in town has ballooned into a 1,700-seat restaurant specializing in Cuban and Spanish cuisine. Live jazz and flamenco shows are offered on most nights, and the gift shop comes complete with cigar rolling demonstrations in the afternoon. The restaurant expanded with locations across Florida - including one in Tampa International Airport - but the locals still stop in here for the famous Cuban sandwiches, the 1905 salad, tossed tableside and the old-school Spanish decor.

Editor's note: All summer long, the Southern Foodways Alliance will be delving deep in the history, tradition, heroes and plain old deliciousness of barbecue across the United States. Dig in.
All barbecue fans have their favorite off-the-beaten-path barbecue restaurants, and there are plenty of legendary joints with a sufficient reputation for pilgrims to drive hundreds of miles to seek them out. But what about when you're zipping down a lonely highway far from home and top a hill and spot an unfamiliar "BBQ" sign? Is it worth stopping and risking a precious meal, when you only have between three to five per day to spend? What if just ten miles down the road there's an even more worthy contender? These sorts of decisions can drive a barbecue nut to acid stomach and night terrors.

While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.
Just in time for the end of National Breakfast Month, September 26 is National Pancake Day.
Stacked and soaking up butter and syrup, spread out and covered with a fruit compote, pancakes are the ultimate comfort food. It's no surprise this breakfast staple has a long history, dating back to the ancient Greeks. But, depending on where you are, pancakes will look vastly different.
In Germany, they're made out of potatoes; in France and Belgium, they'll be thin and light; in South Africa, they're filled with lemon juice and sugar; and in Mexico, you might find a hotcake (a pancake made with cornmeal instead of wheat flour).
Depending on your batter, you can either end up with a crêpe, a pancake, a crumpet or a flapjack. All use the same technique: A batter of flour, eggs, milk and, in some cases, a leavening agent is beaten, left to rest and then poured in batches onto a hot griddle or pan. Typically, when bubbles form on the uncooked side of the pancake, it's ready to flip.
