Women plan event to 'pause, restore your creative energies'
Four women with a shared passion are a tough force to stop — or slow down.
The quartet is Kathleen Chaves, Kaylin Chaves, Mary Tomlinson (all of Baker City) and Dr. Karen Harris (an obstetrician/gynecologist from Ashland).
They are coming together to offer a weekend conference called ChoiceShops — "Harvesting the Garden of Our Spirit."
The workshop is three days: 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sept. 10; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sept. 11 (lunch included); and 9 a.m. to noon Sept. 12.
The event will take place at Lazy JW Ranch in North Powder (accommodations are up to the participants).
The ChoiceShops brochure is imprinted with this message: "Gift yourself the time to pause and restore your healthy, playful and creative energies."These four women are offering a dual approach — Kathleen Chaves and Tomlinson focus on scientific studies, while Kaylin Chaves and Harris specialize in "energetics," which addresses each person's individual energy.
This weekend, they say, offers a chance to take a time out and assess the choices that dictate daily life.
Most of all, these women want to share the approaches that have helped in their own lives.
Kathleen Chaves describes herself and Tomlinson as "lifelong pursuers of doing things in our daily lives to make life more fulfilling."
They've been working on ChoiceShops for a year and a half.
"How can we package what we've learned and share it with others?" Kathleen Chaves said.
Kaylin Chaves and Harris have been friends for years, and after Chaves moved to Baker City, she returned to Ashland about once a month to hold energetic sessions with Harris.
"We've have amazing people, watching healing take place," Kaylin said.
"To me, as a physician, I'd always been interested in energetics and the broader aspects of who we are — how that impacts choices and how we change our lives," Harris said.
At ChoiceShops, participants will learn about meditation, and how to visualize the preferred outcome — while letting go of trying to control the situation. The leaders will offer tools that participants can take home and apply to their lives.
"We can create this healthy, happy life and we can be tremendous support to our husbands, children and friends," Tomlinson said. "We know this works and we want to share it."
Their message is to encourage people to be empowered by their choices rather than feeling like a victim.
"They have a moment to stop and realize they deserve to be happy," Kaylin Chaves said.
"And love their life," Kathleen added.
"I hope it's as inspiration for them as it was for us to create it," Harris said of the ChoiceShops program.
Women and men are welcome, and space is limited.

NDP not a DA plan! - NPCFri, 08 Mar 2013 8:48 AM
The National Planning Commission on Thursday rubbished the National Union of Metalworkers claim that DA economic policies formed the basis of the ANC's National Development Plan (NDP).
Earlier, Numsa, an affiliate of Cosatu, said its 311,000 members rejected the NDP as a "right wing" document.
"After a thorough analysis, the [central committee] came to the extremely disturbing conclusion that significant and strategic parts of the NDP were directly lifted from DA policy documents," said Numsa general secretary Irvin Jim.
He was briefing reporters in Johannesburg on decisions taken at the union's committee meeting.
The NPC responded on Thursday evening. "Mr Jim suffers from an infantile disorder that manifests as an acute aversion to anything rational," commission spokesman Dumisa Jele said in a statement.
"He arrogates to himself, as a custodian of ANC policies, power much greater than the 4500 delegates who gathered at the ANC 53rd National Conference in Mangaung," Jele said.
He asked: "What gives Mr Jim the right to suggest that the delegates were misled?"
The African National Congress declined to comment on the matter.
"We will take the matter with them offline as part of Cosatu, if there is a need or request from [the Congress of SA Trade Unions]," spokesman Keith Khoza said.
Democratic Alliance spokesman Mmusi Maimane said there was no plagiarism of DA policies "at all".
Because the NDP was the result of wide consultation "there are components which we completely agree with", he said.
"We certainly gave our inputs. We started implementing (aspects of the NDP) in the Western Cape.. [which] are proving fruit[ful].
"It affirms some of our policies and it is something we can do. For Numsa to take this position is unfortunate, because it creates policy uncertainty," said Maimane.
Jim said that Numsa also decided at the "painful" central committee meeting, that the leadership of the ANC, an alliance partner, as elected at Mangaung in December, was not "working-class oriented".
It had a businessman as a deputy president, said Jim, referring to Cyril Ramaphosa.
But, it would still encourage its members to support the ANC, and had no plans to form its own political party.

Oh fer chrissakes.
Why should Slayer quit? Because one of its members died they're supposed to hang it up and sit at home and pout? Because they should preserve some legacy that exists only in the minds of a few fans who think way too deeply about shit like legacies?
There are still a lot of people that want to go to Slayer shows and there is a lot of money left for Slayer to make (or for Tom and Kerry to make and hide from Dave or whoever they have drumming for them). Kerry has said on multiple occasions that the amount of money they get offered for package tours these days is obscene. Good for them. They deserve it because Slayer is fucking awesome.
Gee, what should they do? Turn all that cash down so they can retire and sit at home? Or start some side project that nobody will give a shit about? No, they should keep playing if they want to keep playing and are able to keep playing.
Getting paid a lot of money to play Slayer songs is a helluva lot better than getting paid nothing to retire Slayer. I guarantee everyone of us on this board would choose to get paid a lot of money to play Slayer songs over retiring Slayer and getting nothing if presented with that choice.

Play-Off eliminator – Hertfordshire Sports Village
Reigning Netball Superleague champions Manchester Thunder booked themselves a place in the semi-final stage after securing a hard fought win over Hertfordshire Mavericks in Hatfield last night.
Tracey Neville's side triumphed 47-38 in a contest that was fraught, anxious and engrossing. They now go on to battle Team Bath on Sunday for a place in the Grand Final while Karen Atkinson and her team bow out for the 2013 campaign.
The two opposing sides entered yesterday's match in contrasting runs of form. The hosts had slipped to seven successive losses while the travelling Thunder contingent had recorded the polar opposite and came into the crucial clash with seven straight wins under their belt.
Tensions amongst the hosts' ranks was apparent from the opening whistle as Thunder were able to turnover the very first centre-pass with Sara Bayman finding Kathryn Turner free in the circle to open the scoring. Mavericks then repaid the favour but couldn't convert to goal as the visitors moved two ahead.
From the next centre-pass Rose Morgan-Smith found Sophie Hankin but the ball was to hot handle and burst through the grasp of the youngster's hands. Luckily, Sasha Corbin was alert enough to retrieve possession, the England mid-courter then found Hankin to open the Mavs account and calm the early nerves.
A call of held ball on Janelle Lawson allowed the home side to level things up as the contest started to set alight. The cautious approach was making for exciting viewing as interceptions, turnovers and contested ball became common place. The end of a thrilling quarter saw Mavericks edge into a 10-9 lead.
There were chances for the home side to extend their lead early in the second quarter with Hankin looking in fantastic touch in the circle, nailing several shots with her unorthodox technique. However, Laura Malcolm was in no mood to allow the opposition to pull clear and her excellent steal allowed Thunder to reply through Lawson and level the scores.
As the half moved towards a close, Emma Dovey also showed how well she can read the game by ghosting in and taking an interception from Alice Ewer's attempted pass. Thunder converted and were able to remain in the lead through to half-time as Turner netted in the last second to open up a two goal lead, 22-20.
Neville made some changes for the third quarter, introducing Beth Cobden at WD and moving Laura Malcolm to C as Bayman continues to be eased back into action following injury. 16 year-old Alice Travis replaced Turner in the shooting circle with Lawson switching to GA.
The shooting combination worked well from the start as Travis pulled the Mavericks defence out of the circle and opened the space for Lawson to exploit. The increasingly impressive Rachel Henry was pulling the strings at WA for the away side and although they were not overly dominant, they were looking more composed in possession.
Mavericks continued to hang onto their visitors but it seemed much harder than their opponents to craft scoring opportunities, in spite of the incredibly noisy home support. As the pressure increased, so did the inaccuracy in the hosts shooting and Thunder were able to increase the gap by the end of the quarter. They moved into a commanding 35-29 advantage with fifteen minutes remaining.
In an attempt to grab the initiative, Atkinson moved Corbin into C and switched Morgan-Smith to WD. Michaela McFarlane plugged the gap at WA, Thunder were unchanged. A quick fire treble pulled those in black and yellow further clear and finally silence a passionate crowd. A trio of misses in quick succession compounded the pain for the home fans.
The sides exchanged scores but there was never a sense of unease in the Thunder play as they looked to comfortably see out the game. The tempo was slowed as time run down and the team from Manchester confirmed their place in the semi-final.
Mavericks starting 7: GS - Ewer, GA - Hankin, WA - Corbin, C – Morgan-Smith, WD - Haynes, GD - Hutchinson, GK – Keable
On the bench: Guscoth, Joseph, Austin, Huckle, McFarlane
Thunder starting 7: GS - Lawson, GA - Turner, WA - Henry, C - Bayman, WD - Malcolm, GD - Dovey, GK - Almond
On the bench: Holt, Cardwell, Cobden, Enziano, Travis

Microsoft's Spin on the January NPDs: Supplies Constrained, Games Sell Better on 360
Like any other month, we've gotten Microsoft's spin on the latest NPD figures. But unlike most months, the Xbox 360 was outsold by both the Wii and PlayStation 3 – so where does that leave Microsoft to spin things in a positive way? Plenty of places, apparently, as they flouted the total amount spent on the platform and how games sell better on 360.
Hit the jump for the spin and my thoughts.
Xbox 360 experienced a record-setting holiday that has not slowed down in 2008. NPD today reported that in January, Microsoft sold 230,000 Xbox 360 consoles. Our retailers are telling us that Xbox 360 is selling as fast as they can restock, but due to this high demand, Xbox 360 is experiencing temporary shortages. We are working as quickly as we can to replenish inventory.
Xbox 360 Owners Spend More on Games; Drives Industry Ecosystem
- In January, $297 million was spent on the Xbox 360 platform (hardware, software and accessories combined), compared to $244 million on Wii and $219 million on PS3. (U.S. NPD, January)
- $159 million was spent on Xbox 360 games alone in January compared to $131 million on Wii and $80 million for PS3. (U.S. NPD, January)
- Total customer spending on Xbox 360 life-to-date now reaches nearly $8.6 billion; this is more than double PS3 and Wii combined. (U.S. NPD, January)
- Six of the top 10 best selling games in January are on Xbox 360's platform. (U.S. NPD, January)
- After five months on the market, "Halo 3" continues to make the top 10 best selling games list according to NPD with 127,000 additional units sold in January. (U.S. NPD, January)
Games Play Better, Sell Better on Xbox 360
- "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" on Xbox 360 was the number one selling game across all platforms for the third month in a row. In January, the fourth edition of Activision's acclaimed war game sold more than 331,000 copies on Xbox 360 and outsold the PS3 version by more than 2:1. (U.S. NPD, January)
- Music fans love to jam on "Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero III" on Xbox 360! The Xbox 360 version of "Rock Band" sold more than 172,000 units in January and ranked fifth on the top 10 best selling games according to NPD. "Rock Band" on PS3 failed make it into the top 25 list for January. (U.S. NPD, January)
- Third party publishers made 61 percent of their retail revenue, this generation, on Xbox 360 compared to 20 percent on Wii and 18 percent on PS3. (U.S. NPD, January)
- Xbox 360 has 83 titles with a Metacritic review score of 80 or higher compared to just 42 for PS3 and 14 for Wii.
Looking forward, Xbox 360 will continue to be the destination for the best games with powerhouse franchises such as "BioShock," "Call of Duty," "Guitar Hero," "Halo," "Madden," "Mass Effect," and coming in April, "Grand Theft Auto IV." Whether you are an experienced gamer or a family looking for a night of fun, Xbox 360 is today's preferred gaming experience, where everyone is invited to play.
Firstly, I'm not certain where they see Halo 3 as being on the top 10 best selling list – unless, of course, Microsoft is focusing exclusively on the current generation of home consoles. Sneaky.
The proclamation that games "play better" on Xbox 360 seems like nonsense; that claim could fly when it came to Madden 08, but to make such a broad claim is absolute nonsense. Having played both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Burnout Paradise, I can safely say that the PS3 version isn't inferior. In fact, I'd rather play the game on PS3, thanks to not having to jump through the additional hoop that is Xbox Live. (But, for the record, I own the 360 version, as that's what my friends play the game on.)
And the facts are picky-choosey when it comes to Rock Band and Guitar Hero III. Microsoft claims that Rock Band didn't make the top 25 list for January on PS3, but in the same bullet point fail to mention anything about Guitar Hero III's sales on PS3.
I could continue on, but that seems like enough for this month. As always, I'm not a fanboy – I simply pick these apart so that readers can see these NPD spins for what they really are.

Eight years ago, Chris Conway stopped breathing inside his family home with his two brothers. They ran to get help and Chris was given mouth-to-mouth resuscitation until paramedics arrived by John Shinkwin, an off-duty Cambridge firefighter.
Now, with his health restored, Chris has made it his life's work to help others. A paid call firefighter in Center Harbor, N.H., the soft-spoken 23-year-old last Friday took the national emergency medical technician exam with the hope that certification as a basic EMT will give him a career boost. He wants to make the transition from call firefighter to full-time first responder.
Conway was later diagnosed with a rare condition called commotio cordis, a disruption of the heart's electrical system that causes cardiac arrest and, in many cases, sudden death. Chris's heartbeat was stabilized and he was transferred to Children's Hospital Boston. Doctors there placed a defibrillator in his chest to prevent another arrhythmia. But in the eight years that have passed since the operation, the defibrillator has not once had to emit electrical pulses to control Conway's heartbeat.
He would like to one day have the defibrillator removed because the device threatens his dream of becoming a career firefighter. Under guidelines set by NFPA, professional firefighters can't have any kind of mechanical implant.
In the meantime, as a volunteer, Chris last year was promoted to lieutenant for Center Harbor Fire Rescue, after he was named firefighter of the year for 2010.
In the words of Chris' Fire Chief John Schlemmer, "If we don't have guys like Chris, we don't have a fire service.''

The Department of Sociology and Anthropology is a diverse department that combines two distinct academic disciplines, as well as different programs within each major. We have a long distinguished record as one of the oldest departments of sociology in the U.S., dating back to the early years of the twentieth century. Anthropology joined us in 1970, giving the department three undergraduate majors–Anthropology, Sociology, and Sociology-Criminology–as well as an M.A. program in Sociology.
Both sociology and anthropology study human behavior, social interaction, and social organization. Both are concerned with how societies are organized and why people act as they do, but they approach these issues from different perspectives and traditions. Anthropology takes a holistic and comparative approach that focuses on humanity as both biological and cultural beings. Courses explore the similarities and differences in the ways through which humans organize their lives. Anthropologists in the Department examine human origins and evolution, the prehistoric past, recent and contemporary forms of human culture and society, patterns of communication, and forensics in a variety of places spanning the globe.
The Ohio University anthropology faculty takes pride in the preparation that it gives to its undergraduate majors. Many of those students go into high-quality graduate anthropology programs. Others pursue careers medicine, law, social services, government, and business.
Ohio University's Field School of Archaeology gives students the chance to receive hands-on experience in current archaeological techniques and laboratory analysis of archaeological material in a field school taught by Ohio University anthropology faculty. The Field School teaches students all stages of archaeological research, including research design, survey, mapping, excavation techniques, and laboratory methods.
The Anthropology Internship Program enables students to explore various career options by working with sponsoring organizations to apply their anthropology training in real-world professional situations. The internship experience will vary according to the interests of students and the needs of the sponsoring organization. Anthropology internships may focus on any of the three fields represented by departmental faculty: archaeology, biological anthropology, and cultural anthropology.
All Anthropology majors of senior rank are eligible to write a Senior Honors Thesis. In addition to rank, the student must have a 3.5 GPA overall and in Anthropology, must have a research topic of sincere anthropological interest, and must have a faculty sponsor. The student who succeeds receives a diploma which recognizes the "Honors" status in Anthropology upon graduation.
Anthropology students who qualify can become life-long members of the Delta Chapter of Lambda Alpha, the National Honor Society for Anthropology. Members join with thousands of others who identify nationally as successful Anthropology students.
The Anthropology Program offers an Honors Tutorial degree through Ohio University's nationally unique Honors Tutorial College. It extends an Oxford-style education to gifted students, in which many courses in that student's area of specialization are taught in a tutorial fashion. The Honors Tutorial College requires entering students to be in the upper 10% of their high school class, and have a combined SAT score of at least 1200 or an ACT of 27. Students interested should contact the Honors Tutorial College directly for additional information.
View a list of our faculty here.
The College of Arts and Sciences is home to 19 departments, 27 majors and dozens of other special curricula. The college is committed to advancing the interrelated areas of teaching, research, and outreach in a learning-centered community. The college instructs students based on core disciplines for the entire university.
Arts and Sciences is home to nearly one-third of all OHIO's undergraduate and graduate students. The college encourages research and applied scholarship among all of its faculty members. They also create many opportunities for undergraduates to be involved in research as well. The college takes an active role in making knowledge accessible and in applying it to issues that affect the wider community.
All departmental majors provide sound preparation for future careers by requiring you to think and write critically and to communicate well - the preferred skills in all areas of the public and private sector. Certificate programs are open to students who are enrolled in any baccalaureate program, regardless of college or major. Minors in the College of Arts and Sciences may be combined with any regular majors or special curricula programs. With careful planning, minors can be completed within four years.
Established in 1804, Ohio University is the oldest public institution of higher learning in the state of Ohio and the first in the Northwest Territory. Admission to Ohio University is granted to the best-qualified applicants as determined by a selective admission policy.

Site Performance After Hosting Upgrade
The last week of July was a very painful week for this website. Our previous hosting company was having a world of difficulty through an ongoing Denial of Service attack and, combined with a particularly alarming security breach, it was time to leave. Despite lengthy periods of outage and a slow ftp connection, I managed to migrate the site to a new host and get the DNS sorted by the 30th July 2010.
I thought I'd share some interesting data which should encourage us all to rethink our hosting from time to time.
Average time taken to load SEOgadget.co.uk in seconds (monthly)
Time spent downloading a page – note the outage
Webmaster tools performance overview
Search engine visibility – Advanced Web Ranking
We monitor SEOgadget's top 200 industry and traffic driving search terms on a daily basis. This chart shows the search engine rankings expressed as a percentage, which works a little like this (assuming one keyword):
Position 1 = 30/30 (100% Visibility)
Position 2 = 29/30 (96.6% Visibility)
Dedicated IP
Believe me when I say our old IP was hosting some bad websites (not the hosting company, I might add – they were just reselling). A bad neighbourhood would be putting it mildly. At the same time that server performance has increased, we've also moved to a dedicated IP address. That's an important point to remember.
Does a significant improvement in page load in some way explain the improvement in search engine visibility?
Assuming all other factors remained the same (no significant link acquisition, no major algorithmic factors, etc), you could say that the improvement in site performance and / or IP change correlates to an improvement in the rankings. Was it the IP address, the performance, or both? Correlation is not causation, and I fully understand that. It's just these charts show super compelling evidence to justify a proper study, in my opinion.
I can't even begin to imagine the amount of data and analysis you'd need to prove / disprove a causative relationship between page load time and rankings. I wish someboady with a lot of time and interest the very best of luck.

This hint told me Damir F., who deals with souvenirs on Goli-Otok.
Acc to latest information's, this sculpture was done in
1950 by professor Rudolf Schlick. Rudolf Schlick educated at the academy of

I found this chart in a storage. It records in- and outgoing
inventories of a cheese called "Sir Biser" between 1. January 1971 and 09.
March 1971.
(last entry is on the back)
Interesting are the entrees between the 21. and the 30. of January (written in red).
11 pieces were counted at 21. Jan., but 163 were spent at 24., 518 were spent at 26. and another 52 pieces were spent on the 30. of January.
The incoming of 1800 pieces is then dated back to the 20. of January...???
A picture postcard from Pula I found anywhere in a basement.
Acc to latest information's (many thanks to Lydi) this
postcard was sent by a guy called Sandro.
This postcard was sent within the 80ies, which can be recognized on the stamp which was used:

Very interesting pics where sent by Boris Halapir. They are
showing a room, Spartan equipped like a solitary cell. It is located in the
rear of a building within the industrial area.
The walls are laced with red painted dashes, maybe representing days.
But in my opinion, this is not a real counting. The dashes are looking as if they were made all at once, furthermore they don't seem to be weathered.
I assume that this room is part of an art project, of which I had seen several in the past.
Also the bed seems to be obtrusive staged.
However, hints about the background are always welcome.
Thanks a lot to Boris Halapir for these well done shots.
|Just behind the headquarter (Area Quarter and Catering) I found this tool. It is made of a spiral drill sticking in a piece of a four cornered shaft of aluminum. The shaft is wrapped with isolated copper wire. It is more likely that this tool was used as a wall tie where the wire was tightened on. It appears less likely that this tool was used for escaping reasons.
Close to the firing ranges is a pile of rubble located,
mainly containing bricks and pan tiles, but nevertheless I also found
this relict there.
It is a bottle for urine which was surely used in the nearby medical area respectively quarantine office.

Standby generators range in size—the more kilowatts they have, the more they can power—and are designed to be installed as a permanent part of the home. Automatic standby generators are costly—ranging in price from $7,000 to $14,000 depending on where they're being installed, the size of the generator, and other factors. In Miami, for example, permitting can cost close to $2,000 alone, whereas in other areas of the country, a permit could run less than $100.
Standby generators offer a homeowner peace of mind, said Andy Badertscher of J.B. Electric in Auburn, Calif.
"We have had customers with pets or with fish tanks that need to make sure their animals are safe and healthy regardless of power outages, so they have chosen the standby units with automatic start up," Badertscher says. "Even if you are thousands of miles away, you know your home will have power in the worst of conditions. Refrigerators, freezers, basement sump pumps, wells and HVAC (equipment) will still be running. No frozen pipes, no flooded basements and no spoiled food."
Portable generators cost significantly less—you can purchase one for less than $1,000 and they don't require permits and inspections. However, they are designed to run for only a short period of time, they provide less power to the home and have to be manually started.
"Most portable generators currently on the market have push-button starts, but still require someone to be home, start it up and plug it into the generator receptacle," Badertscher says. "This is a good option for renters or for someone who wants to be able to take the generator with them if they move."
It's important that homeowners who invest in a standby generator hire a contractor who is properly licensed and is certified by the product manufacturer. Having an unqualified contractor install a generator could be a costly mistake if he or she doesn't follow the proper building codes.
"Look for contractors who are factory certified for the manufacturer you are purchasing from," Badertscher says. "Not only will they have greater product knowledge to assist you with the size and type of generator to purchase, but they will also be able to warranty the unit for you if a problem comes up during or after installation."

Another farmers' market
Another farmers' market gets going for the season today, this one at a time and location that's convenient for downtown workers.
The market will be open at the Baltimore State Office Center from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The hours should work for state office employees and others who can pop out to do a little shopping at lunch.
Let's just hope there's room in the office fridge for anything that needs to be kept cold.
This is the second year that the Maryland Departments of General Services, Health and Mental Hygiene, and Agriculture will host the market, at 300 W. Preston St. The market will be open every Wednesday through late October.

Sonny Bill Williams fights for New Zealand heavyweight title
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- December 06, 2011
ALL Black Sonny Bill Williams will seek to add a boxing title to his Rugby World Cup winner's medal when he fights for the New Zealand heavyweight belt next year.
The former rugby league international will fight 33-year-old Richard Tutaki for the vacant title in Hamilton on February 8.
Williams has a clause in his contract with the New Zealand Rugby Union which allows him to continue to compete in the ring.
The 26-year-old has had four bouts, winning them all, while Tutaki has won 19 of his 41 fights with one draw and 21 losses.
Williams, who walked out on NRL club Canterbury in disgrace in 2008, will be trained by friend and Aussie boxing star Anthony Mundine.
Despite Williams' sour exit from the Bulldogs, the club are still interested in signing him for 2013, with his new deal with New Zealand Rugby Union finishing up at the end of next season.

"I'll make five handmade gifts for the first five to comment on this post if you in turn repost this in your status and make five handmade gifts for the first five to comment on your status."
Well of course I jumped at the chance because Jennifer was sewing even in college. I knew whatever she made would be beautiful. I also thought it would be a nice gesture for Facebook friends of mine. I had all of 2011 to complete these items.
I tossed and turned over what to make these women. I wanted it to be something useful and pretty. I wanted it to be something that would fit their aesthetics etc... etc... etc...
Time came and went and before I knew it, it was the end of the year and I had to hurry up and complete these handmade gifts.
So I started making these infinity scarves out of a soft flannel that I found at the local fabric store.
My beautiful daughter is modeling them for me.
I made a dozen of them. Two from each cutting of fabric.
Why so many you ask? Well once I started making gifts for Facebook friends I started feeling guilty that I wasn't making something handmade for each of my family members. I'm happy to say that each scarf has a new home as of Christmas with my husband being the recipient of one of them. However, with the 60° winter that we're having here in VA he probably won't need it. My father, brothers, sister, and the older niece and nephews unwrapped one this year. One of my FB friends will be getting this infinity scarf as a gift. "Part of the make 5 for 5 challenge of 2011".
I made this crocheted infinity scarf for my mom this Christmas. I used Lion Brand, WoolEase, Thick & Quick and I have to say I'm addicted. She's asked for a matching hat so she's obviously addicted too.
I crocheted this little tasseled hat for my youngest nephew using the same yarn. I made hats for my two youngest as well. I'll share those in another post.
My wee one is modeling it for the photo.
I also crocheted these pretty little hair pieces (headbands and hair clips) for my brothers daughters using the Stitch Nation wool fibers and bamboo fibers. I love the colors the collection has to offer. My oldest daughter also received a collection of crocheted flowers for her hair. I'll share those in another post.
My word is good!
I'll be sharing here on this blog as I finish.
Thanks for stopping by Blue Sky Confections!

Like many celebrities, Tom Cruise tries to control journalists. He hates talking about his heavy involvement Scientology, for example. But who knew he'd try to force his interviewers to like Valkyrie?
Italian publication LeiWeb opened its interview with Cruise by describing all the restrictions imposed by the movie star's publicists. According to both a tipster and Google's translation of the article, the requirements to interview Tom Cruise were as follows, at least for LeiWeb:
- Must have seen Valkyrie.
- Must have liked Valkryie.
- Must read a letter about how Scientology has never been banned in Germany. Even though, uh, Tom Cruise hates talking about Scientology.
Also: The Google translation indicates Cruise is moving to New York to be near Katie Holmes. Would any fluent Italian speakers care to check the original language and tell us if this is, in fact, what is written (and that "visit" was not mistranslated to "move")? email@example.com UPDATE: According to Italian Claudia, it is in fact written that Cruise is moving to New York. Of course, it's still up in the air whether the interviewer understood correctly. Thanks Claudia!

I often find myself in the same boat as you, I usally try to eat oats mixed with 2% milk (instead of water), along with a bagel, and a whey protein shake. But alot of the time I'm in such a hurry I don't even have time for that. So I'm considering using a meal replacement powder, I good one I heard is "Prolab Lean Mass Matrix Meal Replacement", for those times when you don't have time to cook a decent meal.
I make my Oatmeal and protein shakes in HUGE quantities... enough for a week or so. After making the big batch of Oatmeal, I put a cup or 2 into either ziplocks or small tupperware... and then when I need a quick meal, it's only a 30-45 zap in the microwave to warm it up. With the 2 gallons of protein shakes, I have 2 large gallon containers I put them in.
My 2 minute Breakfast can go something like this:
Grab the Oatmeal ziplock - 45 seconds in Microwave...
Drink a glass of Protein Shake
Pour a glass of Skim Milk and a couple of tablespoons of unpasterized honey into heated Oatmeal.
Eat the oatmeal in about 30-45 seconds..
Grab a banana, bottle of water & multi-vitamin as you walk out the door...
PS.. if you need to save 30-45 seconds.. drink the glass of skim milk, keep the oatmeal "dry", and eat it on the run with the banana and water...
I didnt think you could leave the protein mixed for too long.Originally Posted by bearwolfden
On the back of my when carton it says to drink within 20 mins.
I left some in the blender overnight once and it STUNK- I couldnt possible face drinking that!
I haven't had that problem... I don't buy the most expensive brands.. but usually whatever Whey protein is on sale at Trader Joes...
I also don't mix with Milk.. but use the water-based mixes...
crack as many eggs as you prefer (whites or wholes) into a coffee mug. put them in the microwave for about 30 seconds per egg and go brush your teeth. if they arent cooked all the way i just suck it up..... Rocky did it :>)
thanks for all the advice it will definatly help
Mine is a cheap brand tooOriginally Posted by bearwolfden
It might be the milk that will go off.
Hardboil eggs the night before. That's what I do. I just eat 'em in the car on the way to work.
I think I had a chocolate doughnut and a apple fritter with a glass of milk this morning... didnt take me but a few seconds.
yeah that was one i was definatly thinking about doingOriginally Posted by Built
or maybe cereal and a protein shake
what are some cereals that you all have found to actually taste good and be good for you?
HahaOriginally Posted by ryuage
If I'm screwed on time I'll chug a shake and grab a handful of nutri-grain bars to eat in the car.
Bowl of maple mini wheats and a shake is what I do.
As they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A lot of healthy food suggestions can be found in the internet. However, we still find it hard to follow or meet our diet plans because of too busy schedules. This is why according to an article I read, breakfast food sales grew from $10 billion to $12 billion between 2007 and 2011. However, we don't meet the nutrition guidelines by the foods we buy..Read more from Breakfast Food Sales ....

in Problem solving
Many of the ripening plums on my tree have been withering - discoloured (pale and mottled) and shrivelled, lengthening until they almost resemble laburnum pods. Yet their neighbours appear fine. The symptoms don't fit those of any disease of plum trees that I can find online.
Any ideas for what's causing this and how to treat/stop it? This was the first good crop the tree's had for some years.
Try Taphrina pruni,
Thanks. Aside from the mention of swelling on one side (which I haven't seen in dozens of affected fruits), the Wikipedia description of this sounded very much like the problem I've got. The RHS (whose site I finally remembered to check specifically) only called this 'pocket plum' - confusingly different from the American 'plum pockets' apparently caused by Taphrina communis. Clearly it's a developing science!
Hi, did you find a treatment for this? I think I have the same problem.
Already? It's much earlier in the year than I found it happening to my plum tree....
I cut off all the affected twigs etc, in hopes of preventing any spread to previously unaffected fruit, but didn't have much fruit in the end. Hoping for better luck this year, since the blossom has been quite lush and we haven't had high winds etc to knock it down.
You could check Wikipedia and the RHS site information about this in case there are any chemical treatments which, as an organic gardener, I wouldn't have tried.
Thanks for that. Appreciate the update. Our plum trees are huge (as tall as the house) so it's not going to be possible for me to cut off the branches etc. so I have no idea what I'm going to do... Good luck this year!
Can you get a photo of what's happening to yours Kaz
Hiya - thanks for looking at this.
I've attached some photos - a couple of the fruit and one to show the size of the trees - the greenhouse in the photo is 8 foot tall. I hope they help.
As you can see, the fruits with the problem are a lot larger than the normal ones and they have no pips which is what leads me to believe that the trees have the problem described above.
We have 4 of these trees and they all have the same problem.
We had the trees pruned 2-3 years ago (can't recall exactly, but if this is important I can find out).
There was no fruit on any of the trees last year, but a huge amount of good quality fruit the year before.
Any pointers regarding how I can get this under control would be appreciated.
I think this is something that happens some years when the Taphrina is about.
I've had it happen to a bird cherry twice, but in between there's been no problem
This is entirely different from the problem I had. The affected fruits on my plum tree lost all their usual colour and texture, withering away to something long, thin and distorted as well as completely discoloured. The absence of any stone (what you called a pip) inside the fruit was purely incidental to the failure to mature normally.
My experience is that a plum tree can go for several years without bearing any fruit (or only very little) after producing a really heavy crop one year. They need time to regain their strength, apparently.
My plum tree has got the same problem again - and there are healthy plums growing on the same twigs as affected ones, so cutting out the bad growth is going to be fiddly and unlikely to eradicate the parts of the tree that are obviously infected. I'll have to mark what bits to prune off later in the year.
OK - I think I can positively identify this for you as I've been trying to bring this under control on my own plum trees and damsons - you have pocket plum. It is closely related to plum leaf curl and you'll often see the two together (although not always). Symptoms include swollen and distorted plums that grow more rapidly in size than normal plums and lack a stone. These infected plums then develop a mildewy coating which infects other plums and so on.
It's a fungal disease. The best control I have found is removal of the affected branches and plums before they develop the mildewy coating and then a spray of bordeaux solution (copper sulphate + slaked lime) twice during dormancy (once in autumn and once before the buds open is spring).
There are some other chemical controls (Westland plant rescue, microbutinol etc.) but bordeaux is really the best solution (snigger) and is organic too
Thanks - I'd identified the problem but hadn't realised that there was an organic remedy. Where do you get Bordeaux solution (or the ingredients for it)?
I haven't seen the mildew on my tree - maybe I cut off the affected fruit etc early enough last year that it didn't have time to develop - but clearly just taking off the affected twigs during the summer isn't enough to prevent recurrence.
On searching further, I was slightly unnerved to find someone quoting the RHS website as saying that,"Bordeaux Mixture will be withdrawn from sale on 28 February 2013 but any person can use and store existing stocks until 28 February 2015." Can't find that on that site now, though.
http://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/pdfs/fungicides-for-home-gardeners emphasises the need to use fungicides only when recommended for the particular purpose. Plum pocket is not the same as "bacterial canker on cherry and plum", which seems to be the only purpose for which Bordeaux mixture is recommended in plum growing.
I wouldn't lisyen to the RHS TBH - Bordeaux mixture has been used for years on Pocket Plum and is a standard treatment across the world. Certainly it's been the norm on most farms for as long as I can remember.
Plus it'll be very, very hard to withdraw Bordeaux from sale as no one I know actually buys it "made up" as it is too expensive and simply doesn't keep. Make it up yourself by buying slaked lime and copper sulphate from a chemical supplier or ebay. Bear in mind that made up this traditional way it needs to be used on the day. You'll find plenty of recipes online for it.
"On searching further, I was slightly unnerved to find someone quoting the RHS website as saying that,"Bordeaux Mixture will be withdrawn from sale on 28 February 2013 but any person can use and store existing stocks until 28 February 2015."
I was so surprised about that RHS guidance I thought I'd look that up and see what they said. Their main page on Pocket Plum actually recommends using Bordeaux so it seems that the original poster may have that confused with another fungicide!

Section 14 is the one and only place I've had full season tickets, but I've only had them since after All-Star break in 2006. But this is where I've gone on marathons -- like in 2007, I sat in these seats for 3 out of the last 7 games of the season (but I was in CoreyNYC's seats in Section 13 one night, and Mr. E's -- now Uncle Gene's -- Saturday seats in Section 10 for 2 of the other games). I saw Games 1, 2 & 7 (sold game 6) of the NLCS in these seats. I saw a momumental collapse in 2007. But I went to many more games than I could possibly take in one season, this season, 2008.
There weren't many "regulars" in this section; then again, I go to maybe 25-30 games in these seats a year. The folks who used to sit in front of me, Jeanie and her brother (forget his name) from Bayside, they didn't re-up their tickets for this season. My cousin and co-blogger SassDawg had a mini plan in Section 14 in 2007, and as a result, I met his neighbor "Seat5."
I guess in the 80s, we might have exchanged landline phone numbers and addresses to exchange holiday cards or something. But now we just have each other's cell numbers, and we are Facebook buddies. I mentioned John and his brother before. I've only been to maybe three games in the last two and a half seasons where we actually sat by one another. John was the one responsible for the nickname "Trashball" for Steve Trachsel. I was probably one of the only few Mets fans who stuck up for Trash, erm, I mean TRAX, until the NLCS that is...
Then this season there was Louie and his adorable little boy, who I met only a few times. Just last week, I asked his son how old he was. He said he was eight. I said, "Oh no - you're doomed! You're doomed kid! That was when I started going to games! You see - I haven't stopped!!!"
But I can't now. No matter how the season may have ended, I made peace with the idea of not making the postseason months ago. I was disappointed, but okay with it.
My true disappointment, though, is not knowing these folks as well as I could have, to form a community. Actually I think it was Louie who mentioned he had seats next to mine next year. Plus I know a few others who have committed a few sections around me. So I should be seeing some familiar faces in 2009.
Mezzanine Section 14 Box 572C, seats 7 & 8 have had their share of guests too...In fact if you want to wax intellectual, more people not-named-Coop have sat there. Of course, there's Mr. E, but Zoe, to Metsgrrl (and sometimes her TBF), to SNK, to LoDigs, GaryG, DingoMets (aka Dingbat), Dykstraw, Sassdawg, Metstradamus and countless others. These folks constitute "Coopslist" and will still be on it, when I am sitting in Promenade Section 522 in CitiField.
(Don't worry, they are still affordable.)
Section 14 seats started out as an investment for me, became a consolation prize, then ultimately became my home away from home, a place of solace (no matter how hard the Mets tried to ruin that for me even)...or as Mr. E calls it, the place I grew up.
Well, he's right. As I left my seats for the very last time yesterday, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. Tears came, for sure, but didn't flow. I guess just cutting myself off from the feelings of winning/losing to spare myself the agony in the end really took its toll. It was only after I left that I realized, I was home all along. As I met up with the crew outside of Gate E, I saw other fans just dallying around. I wished I had done that, but I had a train to catch.
Shea was a dump. It was our dump. But I am ready to usher in some new memories at the new stadium. Better ones. I hope. Hey, what's a Met fan gotta go, if not to believe?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Fairfield, NJ -- May 25, 2004 -- Schratter Foods Inc. of Fairfield , New Jersey , is recalling all packages of "Frico" brand Chevrette Goat's Milk Cheese, imported from Holland , because it may contain undeclared lysozyme made from egg whites. People who have an allergy to eggs run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.
The recalled "Frico" brand Chevrette Goat's Milk Cheese was distributed nationwide in retail stores and through distributors.
The "Frico" brand Chevrette Goat's Milk Cheese comes in bulk 9 lb. wheels, and was also sold at retail in cryo-vac cut & wrapped portions of approximately 8 oz. labeled as "Frico" brand Mild & Tangy Flavor CHEVRETTE Goat's Milk CHEESE . All lots and all code dates are being recalled.
We have received one reported illness to date in connection with this problem.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the lysozyme-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of lysozyme, which was omitted by the manufacturer.
All importation and distribution of this product has been suspended until the FDA and the company are certain that the problem has been corrected.
Consumers who have purchased this cheese are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at (201) 641-6851.

Galen Brantley was excited after his Soldotna Stars' 63-33 state semifinal football win over the North Pole Patriots on Saturday, and it wasn't just because his team is headed to the First National Bowl medium-school championship game.
Brantley was excited for his seniors, a group he has coached for five years, beginning with Pop Warner football.
"I couldn't be happier for these kids," Brantley said. "To have them finish their football careers with me at the title game is really special."
Making special memories Saturday was senior running back Jake Kooly, who had 26 carries for 345 yards and five touchdowns.
"He's not a fancy back," Brantley said. "He's a semi-truck. He's our John Riggins."
Kooly led a commanding rushing game that piled up 581 yards for the undefeated Stars. Kooly and sophomore back Drew Gibbs (16 carries for 177 yards; two receptions for 23 yards and a touchdown) accounted for all but one of Soldotna's touchdowns.
"We came out hot offensively and in control," Brantley said. "They (North Pole) have some phenomenal athletes, and they were making plays. Our offense really stepped up to put separation between us in the end."
The Stars (10-0) scored with just more than 30 seconds left in the first half on an 8-yard run by Kooly for a 42-27 lead at the break. Then they scored the first touchdown of the second half on Kooly's 81-yard run for a 49-27 lead.
"It hurt us to give them that advantage," North Pole coach Richard Henert said. "You've got to give credit to our kids in the first half and the way they came out the game in the second half there, too."
North Pole (7-2) answered Kooly's long touchdown with Garrett Sommer's 73-yard pass to Lance Wright to make it 49-33, but the Patriots didn't score again.
Sommer finished with a game-high 198 passing yards, going 10 for 20. He threw for two touchdowns and rushed for an additional 101 yards on 18 carries.
Running back Deaundre Campbell led the Patriots on the ground with 144 yards on nine carries, chipping in two touchdowns. Wright led the team in the air, catching four passes for 131 yards.
"Things didn't end up the way we'd like, but you've got to have respect for Soldotna," Henert said. "They really stepped up offensively," Henert said.
Soldotna, the state's only undefeated team in any division, plays Juneau at noon Saturday in Anchorage for the medium-school championship. Juneau is in its first season in the division, having dropped down from the large-school division this season.
"We'll have our work cut out for us, that's for sure," Brantley said. "Juneau's a good football team. We just have to go out and play our kind of football."

Arsenal's one-of-a-kind test to save environment, dollars
May 2, 2011
By John B. Snyder, Watervliet Arsenal
Related Links
WATERVLIET ARSENAL, N.Y., May 3, 2011 -- The Watervliet Arsenal is undergoing a test - a first of its kind in the country - which is assured to get a lot of folks hot according to an Arsenal supervisor.
"United Technologies Corporation out of Connecticut has just installed a digitally controlled system on one of our steam boilers, and if all goes well, it will transform 1970s technology into a state-of-the-art system," said Richard Hoshko, the Arsenal boiler plant supervisor.
According to Hoshko, this test will run for up to one year and came at no cost to the Arsenal.
"This is a win-win situation for us because the new controls will save us money while better protecting the environment," Hoshko said.
Mike McCarron, senior design engineer for Fireye Inc., which is part of UTC's Fire & Security business, said that this is the first test of its kind in the country. UTC selected the Arsenal for the test due to its close proximity to its headquarters.
"We anticipate that if the test goes as planned the arsenal should attain about five to 10 percent better efficiency in its boiler operations, as well as to significantly reduce greenhouse gasses," McCarron said.
This new digitally controlled package, which is valued in excess of $200,000, added a computerized monitoring system that will automatically adjust air and carbon dioxide levels to improve the fuel efficiency of the boiler, McCarron said.
The Arsenal currently has four main boilers that provide heat for the workforce's comfort and for manufacturing operations. Some of these boilers were installed as far back as the 1950s and therefore, lack modern controls that would enhance the efficiency, as well as the environment. The boiler undergoing testing was installed in the 1970s.
But for a high-tech company such as UTC, finding someone who understands steam boiler plant operations might have been a challenge. After all, boiler plant occupations have been in steady decline for decades.
So, it should not have been a surprise to folks at the Arsenal when longtime Fireye employee "Red" Wagner walked into the Arsenal boiler plant during the start of the test. Wagner is a former World War II Merchant Marine and U.S. Naval Officer whose specialty was power systems. He received his Chief Engineer License from the Coast Guard in 1949.
Now 86 years old, Wagner is teaching much younger power system engineers the dynamics of mature steam plants. To witness firsthand the installation of today's technology on a mature system was only superseded by watching Wagner work his magic on a mature boiler system while younger engineers watched and listened. And, they truly listened.
The next significant event for the test will occur in the fall when UTC will check out a new trim system that will test carbon monoxide and oxygen levels during the boiler plant's start-up period.
McCarron added that if the test goes well there is great potential to upgrade existing mature boiler systems throughout the nation, at a fraction of the cost of full replacement, to be environmentally more friendly, as well as more efficient.

Grandma Picture Frame Up to 12 Names
Personalized Picture Frame$25.00
A wonderful gift for Grandma depicting all of her little pearls! This female snowman wears a pretty green hat with glitter, a red glitter scarf, green mittens. She holds holly and ornaments in her hands as well as a glittery strand of pearls that runs around the perimeter of the frame, connecting all of her little snowflakes together. The edges are red glittered and bright. You will love this frame as a gift for Grandma that can hold up to 12 names on the snowflakes. If you don't need all 12, just leave the personalization boxes blank that you don't want a name to appear in.
Material: Resin
