Rafael Nadal was spotted in his pre-tourney presser in Miami working one of his classic expressions ("Another stupid question, no?") and a new-fangled Nike hat with an interesting logo.
Hmmm - could this be the sign of a forthcoming Nike fashion line for the Mallorcan Matador in the same vein as Roger Federer's 'RF' brand? Inquiring minds def wanna know.
PS - It looks like he's still on the 11th green though NaturAna has smartly stayed away. Xisca's watching girl - just sayin'.

FASHION FIX: Is Nike cutting The Bull a new fashion line?
13 comments:
A Rafa sighting!ReplyDelete
May I just say how much I love that color on him, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact I am wearing the same color (and a very similar shirt) right now?
The hats are for his foundation. He started wearing them in IW. Caused quite a frenzy.ReplyDelete
OMG, Richie, there's an ATP/WTA sponsored POOL Party on Sunday. You MUST get Rafapix if he shows up. Please-oh-please.ReplyDelete
I also wouldn't mind Stefanki pix, but that's just me.

LOVE that hat; MUST have it!ReplyDelete
Anyone, anyone, anyone know where we can get it???
PS - the pool party pics would be awesome, and much appreciated, as well (we know you'll find a way to crash Rich ;).
I want that hat SO MUCH. Have been drooling over it since IW. Please let us know if you find out whether it's for sale anywhere!ReplyDelete

Hmmmm, are Rafa nad Xisca still on??? Here's a curious comment from his Miami presser:ReplyDelete
Q. Would you prefer to go out with a girl that is in tennis, that is a tennis player, or any other girl? Just has nothing to do with it.
RAFAEL NADAL: It is not -- I don't have any preference, you know. Prefer go out with nice and funny girl. Doesn't matter if is player or artist.
*ears prick up*ReplyDelete
Nice and funny?
...uhm, have I mentioned how wonderful I think everyone here is...have I? I just like being nice sometimes. Most times. Rafa, are you listening?

The Promise of the Gas Revolution
Natural Gas is America's Domestic clean foundation fuel for the present and our long-term future. Natural gas touches nearly every segment of American life. It is the dominant source of energy for heat and hot water in residences and businesses across this country. It also cooks our food, dries our clothes, powers industry and generates electricity. The natural gas industry supports the employment of nearly 3 million Americans in all 50 states. There is a tremendous opportunity for consumers and our nation as a whole through greater use of natural gas.
All natural gas, including shale gas, can and should be produced in an environmentally responsible fashion. Our nation possesses a 100-year supply of natural gas. In fact, the United States now has more natural gas than Saudi Arabia has oil, making us the largest producer of natural gas in the world. Advances in technology have led to the cost-effective development of natural gas from shale formations. The result has been a dramatic increase in the amount of domestic natural gas available for the American energy market. Neither the political instability in the Middle East nor last year's winter of sustained cold and record snowfall significantly affected natural gas prices in the United States, which remained relatively low and stable. We must put this abundant resource to good use.
More than half of the new electric generation capacity expected to be built in the coming decades will burn natural gas. Still, the impact on total natural gas supply will not be detrimental. Most of the new plants will use highly efficient combined-cycle technology, consuming less natural gas to generate electricity than traditional plants. While these highly efficient plants are being added to the system, older, less efficient gas plants will be retired, helping to offset any increase in gas demand from these new units. Even if natural gas use for electricity generation grows at a faster pace than expected, our abundant supply of natural gas can meet that demand.
Despite this abundance, we should still use this resource wisely. The best use of natural gas is directly powering natural gas appliances in America's homes and businesses, rather than burning gas to generate electricity that will power comparable electric appliances. Direct use of natural gas is the cleanest, most efficient and least expensive way to utilize this fuel.
The size of the average American home has increased by more than 50 percent since 1970, yet during that same time period natural gas consumption has gone down by 40 percent per household. This is due to more efficient gas appliances and more efficient homes. In short, the direct use of natural gas is the smarter, cleaner and more efficient choice.
We are only beginning to tap natural gas's potential. In the transportation sector, natural gas can immediately be put to use across the country to fuel a wide range of transportation options, from fleet and light-duty vehicles to heavy-duty trucking and off-road applications. More than 50 natural gas utilities and producers have joined forces and are working alongside fleet managers and other industry players to further policies for the use of clean, domestic and affordable natural gas as a transportation fuel.
Natural gas is available now to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Combining abundant supplies of natural gas with the entire energy portfolio of wind, solar and nuclear creates an entirely new playing field for the U.S. economy. Natural gas is a foundation fuel that can help meet the energy needs in all sectors - residential, commercial, industrial, electricity generation, and transportation - cleanly, economically and efficiently.
Dave McCurdy heads the American Gas Association in Washington. This story first appeared in the January-February edition of EnergyBiz magazine. An earlier story written by the coal interest appeared and this story is a "response" to that one.
Promise of NG Revolution Not Gasoline revolution
Very well written article. However, to the common public, because of all the NG hype, they believe they can continue to consume gasoline without conservation and efficiency as a necessity. They believe just because we are abundant with NG, some how they are safe and no longer need to be concerned with the gasoline supply. The amount of one rider SUV drivers continue to surpass the number of fuel efficient vehicle drivers. The fallacy of believing NG obviates the need to conserve and "not put all eggs in one basket" has become a dinosaur to many in the energy conservation and efficiency business.
We need to continue to educate the general public that while we have abundant NG resources, we need to include in those same articles and statements, that energy conservation and efficiency of ALL energy resources should still be a focus of concern for the future of humankind. History continues to repeat ourselves as we continue to deplete our natural resources. Post ARRA, all the energy efficiency and conservation funding is dwindling.
The message needs to be clear, that energy conservation and efficiency should continue to be the number one priority for the country. And that alternative energy sources come second. And not one fuel is going to be the solution to a sustainable world.

I gave this 3, not 4, stars for two reasons: it tasted really good, but I had to make a few changes to it. It's not astounding or anything but it's a hearty meal with lots of veggies, fiber, and protein. I can't stand mushrooms but the rest of my family likes them. Instead of "very finely chopping" the onion, mushrooms and carrots, I actually made somewhat of a chunky paste with them: I pureed half of the mixture (this made the dish more watery than it was supposed to be, so I had to add a bit more flour to thicken it up), and finely chopped the other half in the food processor and it came out great. I can't even taste the mushrooms, which was a big bonus, at least for me. I used Fiber Gourmet elbow noodles, which is actually much healthier than whole-wheat pasta and tastes way better. I used 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme, 3/4 teaspoon dried basil, about 1 teaspoon of Penzeys Pizza Seasoning (Weird, I know, but it tastes amazing!) and a little less than 1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper to avoid what other reviews said about this dish ("Too much thyme; bland."). Oh, and I added a rounded teaspoon of freeze-dried chives instead of using fresh chives/parsley as a garnish. Because I have a lot of regular beef broth on hand, I didn't go out and buy reduced-sodium broth. I only used a dash of salt from the salt-shaker, which I'm not even sure I needed but I wanted to be safe. To cut down on fat and calories, I used 93% lean beef and fat-free sour cream. I doubt I'd taste the difference between using 90% and reduced-fat and what I made. I calculated the calories and my version easily cut out about 100 calories per serving (although just one cup, not 5/4 cups, was more than enough) I'll definitely be making this again.

Live Life Fully: Gossip hard to resist, but often leads to hurt
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Gossip is tempting. We hear things about people all the time. But where do you draw the line between normal curiosity and being part of the rumor mill?
Most of us have been the subject of gossip at some point in our lives, and we've all felt the sting of humiliation that goes along with it.
On the other hand, we've all done some gossiping of our own, and we may have hurt someone's feelings as a result.
Most gossip comes from fear, anger or jealousy. The perpetrator wants agreement and validation from others. The burden, then, falls on the listener. And you always have a choice. Reminds me of the quote, "All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
A lot of gossip tends to take place in the workplace. The American Psychological Association has conducted research on the need of employees to vent to co-workers. Even though it can create a toxic environment, gossip has actually been shown to be a bonding tool -- yikes!
And therein lies the danger. Before you know it, this venom takes on a life of its own and can start to define the culture.
Gossiping is the coward's way of expressing anger. To put someone else down to make yourself feel superior is a giant red flag for insecurity. As my husband, John, always reminds me, "Consider the source."
The gossiper is likely, in time, to feel bad about themselves, according to author Kristin Hutchings. Gossip only offers temporary gratification. It's not long before the gossiper begins to feel the negative effects on their self-esteem, which may call for the cycle of gossip to repeat in order for that adrenaline rush to continue.
Go on a gossip-free diet
So, what can be done about this? Can one person actually make a difference? With time and repetition, the answer is yes.
After all, we teach people how to treat us. And the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. If you've taught the group you'll keep the gossip game going, it's going to take demonstration after demonstration of the new behavior before you can be effective.
Gossips need supportive listeners -- and are unlikely to continue if their gossip and point of view is being challenged. Don't feed the vampire!
Toolbox for not talking
Here are some helpful phrases you can use, drawn from employee assistance programs:
Talk about a showstopper! And that's exactly what's needed.
Step onto the "sorry-go-round" at your own risk, cautions the website www.selfgrowth.com. When you take delight in others' misfortunes, you're actually setting yourself up for misfortune. Buddhists would call this karma, while physicists might explain it as energy responding to energy.
If you're investing your energy into talking crap, you've immediately reduced the time and energy available to do the really important things you need to do today. And how many of us complain we simply don't have enough hours in the day?

Volvo invites you to come along on a world class ride with the development leader in articulated haulers. Join us as we extend the boundaries for efficiency, safety, and operator environment. If you want to increase your cycle efficiency to the extreme, and have the ability to haul more, faster, at the lowest possible cost, let us put you in the driver's seat.
Unique Maneuverability
Bad weather and adverse condition can make roads at sites impossible to take on for most conventional vehicles, putting operators in the position of going the long way around or risk getting stuck, either way resulting in lost time.
But the Volvo articulated truck isn't conventional. The high rotating hitch and articulated steering ensure the tractor and trailer move independently of one another. No matter the conditions, the F-series delivers a smooth, safe ride, making possible to take the shortest route between the loading and dumping sites.
Plus, the A35F & A40F offers an unrivaled full suspension system, providing the fastest alternative when loading or dumping on challenging haul roads. At full speed, the system has automatic leveling, stabilizing tractor and trailer to minimize bounce or shaking.
The Volvo articulated truck is built to adapt to every hauling application at crushing plants, development projects, road construction, mining and landfills. Contractors who value effective, profitable hauling regardless of ground conditions appreciate the perfect combination of versatility and capacity offered by this machine.
Self-compensating, hydro-mechanical steering gives the F-series an automotive type of feel, ensuring minimal effort is required to keep the truck on the transport road in rapidly changing inclement weather conditions. With total precision in every situation, the articulated hauler is stable at high speeds, and a powerful work horse off-road and in extreme conditions.
An effective worksite is a profitable worksite. Keeping a high pace through the work cycle with total control promotes productivity. The F-series Articulated Hauler offers high durability and effective hauling at the lowest cost per ton.
Choosing a Volvo Articulated Truck gives both a machine and a partner you can trust. Constructed of HB400 steel, the hauler's body has the strength to withstand years of impact loading. It's easy to load using any loading equipment, and Volvo ingenuity allows maximum power and control when dumping by the simple push of a button. A user-friendly load and dump brake shifts the transmission to neutral and activates the rear service brakes, allowing faster dump cycles and effectively shortening cycle times. The hauler's effective dumping system - including a long-tailed chute and high tipping joint - makes it possible to place the load in exactly the right position, even on downhill grades, into a hopper, or over an edge.
The transmission shifts fast, smooth and at exactly the right time for maximum rim pull at all speeds. The brake retarder allows higher average speeds throughout the cycle due to its fast response and high continuous availability. Wet or dry disc brakes operate via a unique system on two separate circuits for maximum safety, excellent and maintenance free braking performance at all times.
The F-series articulated hauler constitutes a finely tuned power package built to maximize productivity in the toughest applications and the most demanding environments. The turbo-charged engine lends serious muscle to any task, hauling more material with every drop of fuel. Meanwhile, its advanced combustion technology meets or exceeds environmental standards.
The articulated hauler offers higher load capacity, as much as 31.4 cubic yards / 43 tons (24 cubic meters / 39 tonnes).
The Volvo Advantage
The heart of this high performance machine is pure Volvo: the engine, drive train, and transmission are Volvo built and designed, down to the smallest detail. Each part is designed to work in perfect harmony, resulting in optimum performance.
The high performance engine has been matched with the tried and tested Volvo transmission, built to take full advantage of the higher power and torque. Other parts of the drive train such as the drop box and axles have been upgraded to meet the new specifications, as well. Hauling has never been more comfortable or efficient.
A World Class Operator Environment
As the industry leader in operator environment, Volvo knows that a healthy, comfortable operator is a safe, effective member of the team. The goal of maximum productivity requires the operator focus on the job, even on long shifts.
Thanks to the Contronics system, the operator has control over the vital functions of the machine, monitoring oil checks and fluid levels. With ease of access to service points, and longer intervals between every service, service time is minimized. Enhanced serviceability means more time on the job and increased productivity.

Not many people empathize with financial markets firms these days. Yet, they are facing a one-two punch of increasingly onerous regulation combined with increased competition (a result of more demanding customers, technological change, globalization and the downturn in the global economy).

Not many people empathize with financial markets firms these days. Yet, they are facing a one-two punch of increasingly onerous regulation combined with increased competition (a result of more demanding customers, technological change, globalization and the downturn in the global economy).
Industry experts estimate that 15-20% of the market share for wholesale and investment banking will be reshuffled in the next few years. To survive let alone thrive, financial markets firms must adapt – by changing the way that they operate.
Working with Broadridge Financial Solutions we looked into how financial markets firms are responding to this demanding environment – and specifically the changes they are making to their operating models – that is how they organize their resources, business processes, systems, information assets, etc.
We surveyed over 130 senior decision makers from firms in the USA, UK and Far East (Hong Kong and Singapore), and conducted 18 more detailed interviews. The findings have recently been published in Beating market mandates: How winners are re-engineering financial markets operations.
The research highlighted a leading group – who excelled at both compliance and innovation. This group had five key things they were thinking and doing differently than the rest:
- Thinking marketplace first, "factory" efficiencies second
- Designing operations around client interactions, not vice versa
- Cultivating agility – and an ability to see what others don't
- Building and use scale, but not always in expected ways
- Partnering to extend their capabilities – and their thinking
These firms have a different perspective on operations and how it contributes to the business. The distinctions between front, middle and back office are becoming less distinct. As a UK-based Chief Operations Officer at a Universal Bank observed: "We must make sure changes enhance the whole process - It's no good having a Rolls-Royce in the front and a Mini in the back."
The leaders are looking at how operations can positively contribute to the business – through consolidation and greater efficiency of course, but also through creating the flexibility to scale resources and adapt to market conditions, facilitating faster product development and enabling innovation.
The leaders are also more open to working with external partners – and see the positive value to be gained through collaboration, for example accessing the technology and resources of an external partner. Leaders outsource more of their business processes, in particular, traditional areas like back-office accounting, settlement and clearance and reporting systems.
Success in these areas will likely encourage leaders to forge ahead into sourcing more complex functions such as reconciliations, data management, tax reporting and corporate actions. But what they outsource is perhaps of less interest than how they outsource. The leaders outsource with a business objective in mind, seeking to get the best from their partner, whereas those lagging tend to see the potential benefits in a more limited way – focusing on cutting costs of the back office.
And importantly, the study points to these differences in attitude feeding into improved results. Those who recognize how operations can contribute to the business and see collaboration as a way of improving business outcomes are rewarded with improved customer satisfaction, faster product introduction, improved regulatory compliance and improved access to information.
So what are the implications, for firms operating in financial markets as well as those in other industries who are trying to optimize the contribution of their back offices? For financial markets firms - focus on achieving agility, scalability and customer centricity, with the potential help of external partners. Many of those currently lagging are planning to evolve their operating model over the next three years. However, there is no time to delay, as the leading firms are forging ahead, and gaining market share as a result.
For those in other industries seeking to optimize their back office operations, this study also provides valuable insights. The financial markets industry is an extreme case where technological change, globalization, market turmoil, low switching costs and significant regulatory change have come together accelerating required operating model change. But the drivers are similar in many other industries – and we are observing a transformation in approaches to outsourcing – focusing more on sharing expertise and delivering business value rather than simply efficiency savings. Increasingly, the winners, across all industries, will be those who exploit these new capabilities to the full.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Nearly every woman takes a medication at some point during pregnancy. But turning to the Internet to find out what's safe to use can bring false reassurance.
Researchers examined 25 pregnancy-related websites that list drugs purportedly safe during pregnancy, and found no two lists were identical.

Interesting, this is exactly what I said when told they were blaming it on a "hunter."
They were saying an illegal grow for awhile and how the country was not accessible. Really? Not accessible? Well I was bummed to hear it was a hunter.
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
Being a hunter means being part of a huge family that runs the spectrum from really obnoxious, unprincipled jerks to some real princes.
That's the way it is with just about any group, but people from outside the group take their cues from the news, which is parsed and written by a pretty liberal bunch not exactly friendly toward us evil, bloodthirsty Bambi-killers.
With me being an evangelical, white male, Republican southerner and hunter, the national news routinely throws darts at me from several angles. Good thing the government knows all about just about everything so they can step in and protect our image and our rights!!

St. Lucie voting system noted for errors
By Pat Beall
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
However you add it up, vote counts in the bruising battle between Republican U.S. Rep. Allen West and political newcomer Patrick Murphy are disturbing.
Bolstered by St. Lucie County returns, election night math gave Murphy a razors edge victory of less than 1 percentage point.
But the outcome raised questions, with 1,950 early votes uncounted and nearly double that number counted twice.
The Florida Division of Elections is sending three employees to St. Lucie County on Wednesday to try to figure out how 799 votes disappeared in Sundays partial recount of the close, nationally watched congressional race between U.S. Rep. Allen West and Democrat Patrick Murphy.
We are concerned whenever there is a question about the accuracy of results, Florida Department of State spokesman Chris Cate said in an e-mail this afternoon. We are sending three employees, including the bureau chief, from the Bureau of Voting Systems Certifications, to assess the tabulation process in St. Lucie County.
http://www.postonpolitics.com/2012/1...aff-to-assess/ST LUCIE ELECTIONS SUPERVISOR ADMITS ERRORS
ST. LUCIE COUNTY Elections Supervisor Gertrude Walker Tuesday admitted mistakes were made election night when uploading results from the last three days of early voting, blaming human and machine errors.
"I'm not perfect, neither is my staff," Walker said during a Tuesday evening press conference.
Out of 94 precincts, the first 40 most of them in Fort Pierce weren't counted at all and the last 54 mostly in Port St. Lucie and the county were counted twice, which explains why city votes increased and county votes decreased after the Nov. 11 retabulation of the votes from Nov. 1-3.
There were 3,635 counted twice and 1,953 not scanned at all.
The Nov. 11 retabulation corrected the error, Walker said.
"I'm confident that every vote has been counted accurately," Walker said.
"The facts are beginning to emerge about Election Night in St. Lucie County: "Theyre painting a very chaotic scene, weve heard that before, but were learning more details about the chaos. She said they had trouble with 5 disks that they couldnt upload the information. Its not that they werent uploadable, they were actually blank, so what they did on election night, they got the ballots out, they got the ballot reader out and started stuffing 26,000 ballots into the reader to try to make sure they got some results out in an expedient manner. "
From Florida: THEY FOUND A BOX OF BALLOTS UNCOUNTED!!!!
ALLEN WEST BEST ON THE GROUND: On the phone with Gary Angelo Galiano - 304 Ballots they found in a box somewhere PLUS AT LEAST another 304 more now. The public is going on, back and forth, attorneys, etc, there is still a box of over a 1000 ballots still missing they are "trying to find" EVERYONE IS SCREAMING and YELLING AND ARGUING, it is flawed and out of control. The state representative has recommended a FULL RECOUNT but the canvassing authority has to approve that.Stuart, FL West for Congress campaign manager Tim Edson released the following statement regarding Patrick Murphys lawyers attempt to get the 19th Circuit Court Judge to disallow the retabulation of early votes agreed to by the St. Lucie County Canvassing Board:
In a last-ditch effort to suppress the vote, Murphys lawyers submitted sloppy and incomplete papers to the Court this morning to try to strong-arm the judge into preventing todays retabulation already underway. The Murphy teams motion is procedurally and substantively lacking. With every action attempted, Murphy demonstrates a complete lack of respect and utter disregard for the voters of St. Lucie County.
Murphys efforts bring to mind the dark times in our nations history when politicians tried to manipulate the law to suppress the votes, and we are appalled by Murphys apparent contempt for the voting rights of citizens to have their ballots accurately and fairly tabulated.
Murphy knows there are votes that have not been counted, but hes taking legal action to ensure the results are certified anyway. Perhaps the Justice Department should investigate Murphys attempt to steal himself a seat in Congress at the expense of the voters in St. Lucie County.
with only 304 votes left to count, the operation has been ordered to "shut down". Apparently the mall where the re-count is taking place has ordered everyone out because the alarm will go off! (What...there is no one there who is SMART ENOUGH to re-set the time on the alarm?) In any case, they are asking everyone to come back tomorrow to count the remaining votes!
UPDATE ALLEN WEST - I asked, how is the alarm being automaticity set, when you guys were here until 2 am on election night? Their response to me.. "We are closing." Sheriff then asked me leave...
Gary Angelo Galiano - I think I figured it out State law says by 12 it has to be certified Murphy tried in court today to get the previous account certified he failed. State law says if you do not make the deadline you must certify the previous count!!!!!!
Best of all

Answer this Nova as to no Hijinks.
Allen West's campaign is ready to "go to war" over a recount as new numbers reveal more ballots cast than voters.
The race for Florida's 18th Congressional district has taken an ugly turn, with charges of incompetence, illegal activity and possible fraud on the part of local election officials. Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy has declared victory with an apparent 160,328 votes to West's 157,872. However, serious questions arose immediately about the integrity of the vote count, especially in St. Lucie County. On election night incumbent Republican Allen West had maintained a district-wide lead of nearly 2000 votes until St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker inexplicably "recounted" thousands of early ballots, resulting in 4,400 vote shift to the challenger. Observers on the scene say the process is biased and the election results are fatally compromised. Mr. West is asking a court to impound the ballots and order a recount.
Jeffrey Scott Shapiro, a volunteer lawyer for the West campaign, told the Washington Times he is "starting have serious concerns about what is going on." Mr. Shapiro noted that he is not speaking officially on behalf of the campaign but as a first hand witness seeking to get the facts on the record.
"We are not getting to observe the vote count," he said. Mr. Shapiro has been overseeing the process at the Riveria Beach vote tabulation center. Temporary workers are helping the local staff oversee the count of absentee ballots, those damaged by voting machines, and ballots in which the three pages have become separated. They are making new ballots to replace the damaged ones, and are required to mark them with the same votes. Florida law allows observers to be present but they are being blocked from making sure the ballots are marked accurately.
A physical barrier had been erected making it impossible for the observers to see what was going on. After repeated objections, the observers were allowed to stand behind the people reproducing the ballots. But then the ballot workers blocked their view."Half of the people reproducing the ballots are crowding together," Mr. Shapiro said,"to make it impossible for anyone to see what they are doing." He added that "there is a sense that since they spend so much time obstructing our view they are not reproducing [the ballots] correctly."

Florida law allows observers to be present but they are being blocked from making sure the ballots are marked accurately.
An elderly man who stood up to try to get a better look at the ballots was ordered to sit down. When he asked why, Palm Beach County Elections Supervisor Susan Bucher called a sheriff's deputy to have him escorted out of the building. Team West volunteer Ellen Snyder has also faced the wrath of the supervisory staff."They screamed at me twice" for asking questions she said, and threatened to have her removed.
Critical questions are also being raised about the estimated 8,000 military absentee ballots, These ballots could decide the election but were only picked up on Wednesday. They are being counted in an area that is off-limits to observers, but no explanation has been given why. Unlike the damaged ballots, the military ballots are not being reproduced but only counted. Yet from a distance Ms. Snyder saw a worker marking them. When she tried to bring this to the attention Mrs. Bucher's assistant she was ignored. Another observer saw four military ballots in a row being peremptorily invalidated with no explanation. When Ms. Snyder tried to ask Mrs. Bucher a question about what was happening "she looked like she wanted to spit she was so mad. She is very hostile."
Mrs. Bucher has been a problem throughout the process. When responding to a court order to open polls to early voters on the Sunday before the election, she only informed local Democrats. Republicans only heard about it later, and not from her. During the week she told Republican observers that the vote count was going to be ended and they did not have to show up. But when Mrs. Snyder came anyway she found the counting had continued. On Friday she ordered ballot workers to reproduce some ballots that were already reproduced. No clear explanation for this was given. An online video shows Mrs. Bucher rudely refusing to answer questions posed by local reporter Michele Kirk about the propriety of the vote count.

12:35 p.m. EST, November 18, 2012
A noon deadline has passed to report new returns in the race between Democrat Patrick Murphy and Republican U.S. Rep. Allen West.
Officials in St. Lucie County, where a recount was being conducted, made no announcement of their findings.
Under state law, unless they have received an emergency exemption from the state, unofficial results filed last week will be certified.
Those results showed Murphy the winner in the race by about 1,900 votes.
The 18th Congressional District includes the northern part of Palm Beach County and part of Martin County.
Don't toot your horn to hard Nova, it's not done yet. He will not be officially certified until Tuesday, which leaves plenty of time to get a challenge in.In most sports, cold-cocking an opposing player repeatedly in the face with a series of gigantic Slovakian uppercuts would get you a multi-game suspension without pay.
In hockey, it means you have to sit in the penalty box for five minutes.

The Fourth of July is the cause of a great number of fires and burn injuries due to fireworks. According to national statistics, more than 10,000 citizens are injured each year by the misuse of common and illegally manufactured fireworks.
—Danville, VA.
Bottle rockets, black snakes, smoke bombs....oh, the memories. The Fourth of July is a time when families and friends unite, the grill is brought out of the garage and dusted off, ant hills are blown wide open from delicately placed black cats, and wheat farmers begin to sweat at the potential crop lost from unexpected trajectories of fireworks. And though this holiday carries the tradition of good times, thousands are haunted on this day by the horrifying experiences of being seriously burned.
If you or your family member becomes a number in this unfortunate statistic (10,000), then medical treatment and pain management will become significantly important to you. One aspect of serious burn injury that often is overlooked, is the psychiatric consequences of this type of trauma.
If you've ever blistered your finger on a stove, scolded your tongue on a steaming beverage, or darkened your skin with a match that burned faster than anticipated, you are well aware of the physical pain that burns cause. Burns are distinguished in severity by the location on the body, the degree of heat experienced, and the depth of the burn. Burns not only injure the skin, but can also damage muscle, cartilage and bone.
Pain management for burn victims is a challenging aspect of treatment. Assessment of discomfort, balancing the risks and benefits of pain medication, and identifying therapeutic levels of medication are all difficult. The University of Washington discovered that greater levels of acute pain are associated with negative long term psychological effects, such as depression, suicidal ideation, and post-traumatic stress disorder for as long as two years after the initial burn injury (2008).
Simultaneous to noting the impact of pain on mental health, it is also important to take note of the potential impact that psychological symptoms have on the degree of discomfort experienced by burn victims. John Hopkins University published a 2007 study which showed that depressive symptoms become a significant predictor of subsequent increases in pain and reductions in physical functioning. Anxiety, in contrast, predicts subsequent elevations in fatigue.
Failure to address either depression or anxiety, whether the cause or effect of pain, potentially complicates wound healing, increases risk of infections and extends hospital stays. Ensuring that you or your loved one receives mental health screening during treatment and post discharge is key when being treated for serious burn injuries.
Psychobabble wishes all of you a safe and fun 4th of July.

Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris is the
Associate Dean of Academic Affairs and Urban Planning Professor at the UCLA
School of Public Affairs. Professor Loukaitou-Sideris' research focuses on the
public environment of the city, its physical representation, aesthetics, social
meaning and impact on the urban resident. Her work seeks to integrate social
and physical issues in urban planning and architecture. An underlying theme of
her work is its "user focus"; that is, she seeks to analyze and
understand the built environment from the perspective of those who live and

Serena Williams may have walked onto Rod Laver Arena seemingly wounded with heavy strapping on her right thigh but she sure didn't play that way. At all.
The 4-time defending champ crushed Urszula Radwanska 6-1, 6-2 in the Aussie Open first round with classic ReRe plays: big serves, crushing groundies and quick visits to the net. She hit 26 winners against 27 errors, 3 aces and made 16 of 19 net approaches. Next up: Czech Petra Kvitova.
The top seed broke out her new Nike dress for the year's first major: the Women's Sunburst Love Game Dress ($90) in sunburst + white made from Dri-FIT technology and featuring a built in shelf bra, a fully covered back and decorative seams.
It's refreshing (and a relief to some - HELLO Tin) to see a nice pop of yellow amidst the sea of blue on the courts and in the fashions this year. Other lady ballers working this hue for their Oz Open campaigns include older sis Venus Williams, former finalist Ana Ivanovic, NaturAna's first victim Shenay Perry and Francesca Schiavone.

Hooorayyyyy! Sunshine at last!ReplyDelete
I can't believe I'm saying thst Serena Williams, unapologetic, line judge threatening Serena Williams, is a breath of fresh air, but I am!!! :)
I love it. I was very scared that we would get something along the lines of that black(brown?)/red thing she had been sporting but you like you said this is a breathe of fresh air, clean and feminine and pretty.ReplyDelete
I LOVE Serena's dress! It's simple, fun and fresh -- the exact opposite of unnecessarily complicated and over-the-top. *coughMashacough*ReplyDelete
Serena has been so solid with her on-court duds these days, IMO. Keep it up, woman.

I like the color, but the white part looks like a bib.ReplyDelete

Great dress, great color. Love it.ReplyDelete
I think this color is somewhat symbolizing what attitude she is bringing to this tournament. Mary Carillo brought up the US Open thing saying she would have been more harsh in the punishment of Serena, and thank god Pam Shriver shut her up on her rant...I love Pam, and Serena has a great chance to make it all the way this year..she is playing SOLID!!!ReplyDelete
Loves it! Go Rena! As for Vee's dress, it's a little on the skimpy side ain't it?! Not to mention those 'body'coloured undershorts which make it looking she ain't wearing anything under that dress! Lawdy!!!ReplyDelete

I'm taking an idea from another forum.
Let's try to keep things civil.
I'm taking an idea from another forum.
Let's try to keep things civil.
While there are many useful idiots doing the devils work (showing their close relationship to the lower parts of their evolutionary chain), God's work can everywhere be seen.
Larry in VA...James Kopp, A real Hero and martyr.
Is this to be discussed, or just answered poll-style above? (I registered my answer already there.)
I'd expressed the second most certain attitude, only because I'll accept the limitations of human imagination and understanding, and therefore have some humility as to how certain I can be of anything.
Meaning, mainly, that I wouldn't be surprised to find that God is considerably different from the conception I've received and refined over decades, and perhaps far less a personal God, and more a Deist's notion of a rule maker, not a day to day ref.
But I believe He is all that-- rule maker and day to day ref, trainer, coach, and friend, as well as Creator.
A medium sized fish [...]
Of course it's meant to be discussed.
My beliefs are pretty similar to yours.
This same topic has ran on AZB for over a month with well over 1,000 posts ... and has done so with a high level of intellectual discssion from all sides without jumping into the gutter of personal attacks, other than the brief appearance of Secaucus Fats, and I had honestly hoped this forum could approach that level of civility and intellectual discourse.
That it has not disappoints me greatly.
The presence of the polling function at the beginning might get people to think the poll is the thing, not the discussion. And the poll got all the 5 we now only have as regulars to answer, apparently. It's not as if we have 20 regulars as a base of responses and then responders to the responses.
A medium sized fish [...]
I voted certainly not.
God iz impossible -- ie the jewish christian islam God.
But the poll shood hav sayd a god, not a God. For starters u kan say God (not here), but not a God (not here and not anywhere).
Alltho praps kathlix might beleev in 3 Gods -- hmmmm, getting komplikated.
Anyhow, god or gods or God or creator, i vote no.
The question of a creator iz praps a sort of separate item i suppoze. I mean u might beleev in a god or gods but dont beleev in creation az such. And u might beleev in a creator but not in a god (unlikely i admit).
Fellas in category 1 dont beleev in 2,859.00 ovem.
Fellas in category 2 dont beleev in 2,859.25 ovem.
Fellas in category 3 dont beleev in 2,859.50 ovem.
Fellas in category 4 dont beleev in 2,859.75 ovem.
Fellas in category 5 dont beleev in 2,860.00 ovem.
I am in category 5. How similar iz that.

We're not usually big fans of plastic train track sets, but this one is really fun and right on target for fans of Sesame Street. The set comes with both Elmo in a train and Grover in a little car. Elmo, the train conductor, speaks (powered by batteries). The train itself is not battery-powered so kids have to move him around the track - a good thing in our book. It makes the toy more engaging and less about watching something happen. The other really positive aspect of this toy is that you can fold up part of the track to make an elevated roadway for Grover. There's also a ramp for Grover to reach the ground level. At the center of the track is a Sesame Street train station with a clock on top. Lots of pretend possibilities here. A winner for the older toddler/preschool crowd. 2 & up.

Hi there,
I use ZimbraDesktop to manage my emails and frequently move messages from the server into local folders. I need to switch computers and I am having a hard time importing the messages into the new computer. I have tried everything I could think of:
+I used the export/import files function
+And I also tried restoring backup files generated in the old computer in the new computer
Nothing worked... The folders/messages do not get restored in the new computer.
Anybody knows a procedure to perform this operation?

Local circuit clerks are urging residents to cast their vote as early as possible if they have to vote absentee.
"We've already had a lot of military people come in and vote knowing they are going to be out of town," said Lauderdale Co. Circuit Clerk Donna Jill Johnson.
"We encourage people to look at their calendar and see what's going on before November 8th, and come on down now and beat the crowd and beat the long lines," she said.
If a voter has planned a vacation, has a surgery scheduled, military deployment, works out of town, works during polling hours, or is age 65 and over, they may vote absentee.
If you have any questions about whether you are eligible to vote early or not, contact your local office.

Financing Smaller Projects, an Opportunity
Sebastian Leyton 9/23/13
Small renewable projects represent a market that has not been fully taken advantage of, mainly due to issues relating with their access to financing. This doesn't refer that the projects itself have issues, but implies that lenders mainly involved in project finance are more interested in larger projects, which involve sums over USD 100 million. Those projects are able to support the costs of a time intensive transaction and the corresponding fees, and represent a good opportunity of striking a good deal by achieving financial closing to most parties for the amounts involved. However, this doesn't imply that small projects are not a lucrative market to be exploited and clearly represents a business opportunity.
Western States Are Leading the Way Toward Sustainable Energy
By Lesley Hunter 9/17/13
The western United States' remarkable renewable energy resource availability, supportive policies, and well-developed supply chains have transformed western states into national leaders in renewable energy development. In 2012, the 13 western states attracted more than half of the country's combined venture capital, private equity and asset finance investment in the renewable energy sector, and produced approximately 31% of their total energy generation from renewable energy sources – compared to roughly 12% nationally (sources: Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) and the Energy Information Administration (EIA)).
Climate & the Economy: A Rational Solution
By ACORE Interim CEO, Michael Brower 08/22/2013
It should be no surprise that when Gallup asks Americans to choose between economic growth or protecting the environment – during a time when too many Americans are still out of work, living paycheck to paycheck, drowning with college debt, and underemployed – they choose improving economic growth. But even as the economy remains America's number one priority; more and more Americans are calling for action on climate change. Most Americans see the environmental and economic challenges climate change poses, but they also recognize--as the American Council On Renewable Energy (ACORE) does--that clean, renewable energy is a solution to both environmental and economic challenges.
IBM Announces Breakthrough Renewable Energy Forecasting Technology

The goal of any renewable energy developer or grid operator is to ensure a smooth flow of electricity stems from a power plant. And there are numerous technologies that aide project developers and grid operators to accurately forecast the weather to maximize the output and efficiency of renewable energy power plants. But none of these technologies come close to IBM's new Hybrid Renewable Energy Forecaster (HyREF). IBM unveiled their newest forecasting systems on August 12th – built with the renowned expertise the world has come to expect from IBM.

The City of Houston has signed an agreement with Reliant Energy to purchase 140MW of renewable power for the next two years. The 140MW power purchase represents approximately 50 percent of the city's required power and is the equivalent of power required for over 55,000 homes each year. Reliant is a subsidiary of NRG Energy Inc., which has headquarters in both New Jersey and Houston.

Juicy and sweet, strawberries are the first garden fruit crop of the year. In June, strawberry festivals are celebrated across the country; people flock to pick-your-own farms and leave laden with baskets of luscious red berries to enjoy with cream, or in shortcakes, pies, jams and jellies. Rich in potassium and vitamin C, strawberries are as good for you as they are delicious, and have disease-fighting phytochemicals, such as flavonoids and ellagic acid.
The garden strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) is easy to grow—even a small patch will produce a good crop of delicious berries. And by growing your own organically, you can avoid heavy concentrations of pesticides, often found in store-bought varieties.
Of the three types of strawberries available (everbearers, Junebearers and dayneutrals), everbearers produce crops in both spring and fall, but the fruit is smaller and less flavourful than that of the other two, which are the focus of this article.
Not surprisingly, Junebearers yield a single large crop of berries in June. They produce numerous runners (long stems that grow more strawberry plants at their ends), which means extra work for the gardener, who has to continually remove them. As well, they don't produce fruit in their first year.
Dayneutrals yield berries throughout summer, even in their first year. They also have fewer runners, so they're easier to tend. Since dayneutrals flower throughout the warm months, those growing in areas where late spring frosts are a problem will still bear fruit later in the season, but this means a greater possibility of botrytis fruit rot and tarnished plant bugs.
Planting your strawberry patch
Plant strawberries in spring when the deciduous trees start to leaf out. Choose a sunny, fast-draining location with good air circulation and protection from strong winds; avoid low-lying areas where frost damage to flowers is likely to occur. If the future site has perennial weeds, such as bindweed and quack grass, start preparing the patch the fall before to ensure all weed roots and underground shoots are removed.
There are three basic methods used to grow strawberries; choose the one that will best suit you. Within the planting site, mix five to 7.5 centimetres of compost into the soil, then sprinkle a balanced organic fertilizer over the surface and work it into the ground. Meanwhile, soak the roots of the plants in water for one hour before putting them into the ground, and keep them damp and cool while planting. Trim off any dead leaves, broken roots, flowers and flower buds.
Dig a hole 12 to 18 centimetres wide and as deep as the roots are long. As you place the plant in the hole, point the roots downward and fan them out in all directions. (Proper positioning of the crown—the solid area that bears the leaves above and the roots below—is essential for plant survival.) As you fill in the hole, make sure the roots and the midpoint of the crown are covered with soil and the top part of the crown with the leaves is just above soil level. Press down firmly around the roots and water well. After watering, check the crown and reposition, if necessary.
Use mulch to control weeds, retain moisture, keep the soil cool and the berries off the ground. After planting, add a five- to 7.5-centimetre layer of straw, old hay or leaf mould, nestling the mulch around the plants. For the first season only, remove the flowers of Junebearers as soon as they appear and those of dayneutrals until July 1 to direct the plants' energies into forming good root systems.

His long-awaited album, Detox, is still on the shelf, but Dre still rakes in cash from old albums, production and the occasional concert. And then there's that headphone line.
