I would give it a really long watering to thoroughly water it in. Sometimes roses sulk when they are transplanted as they are growing. It hasn't rained for a while where I am so maybe its compounded they the fact the soil is dry.
Thanks for the reply david I will leave them as they are.
thanks for the reply they are about 4 inches apart should I thin them out a little.
I have planted my sweet peas out but had a few more than I thought as spares I have 15 round the base of an obelisk is this too many? I made the obelisk out of bamboo and the base is probably 2 foot wide. Last year I think I at most had 10 round the base,
Just out of curiosity where about in the country are you as mine did very poorly but I live in the northeast
I am growing my own petunia, lobelia started from seed and geranium from plug and I am growing all of them on windowsills. These plants are still young and not frost hardy anyway.
The main thing I have to criticise about the show is that it didn't really show you how to grow the plants yourself. It dusted over that but and spent along time on the judging bit.
Particularly wondering what David thought of the Sweetpeas. Thought most were disappointing.
Thanks david I will get them planted this week then
Think your meant to bruise the foliage and apply glyphosate to it I think but I believe it is difficult to eradicate and deep rooted. Saying that being covered by the weed sheet may have weakened it.

I've gone through the the disconnect from mains routine, left it for 24 hours, when I plug it back in, the lights just strat flashing again. I've looked at the help pages on the HP site but nothing covers what is happening.
Any ideas what is wrong? Is it knackered? I'm thinking along those lines, but the annoying thing is that I have just purchased 2*21XL and 2*22XL cartridges.

Cheers JohnB.
I've been through the link you sent previously and the info is possibly incorrect as it states
- Start Copy Black light : Blinking
- Start Copy Color light : BlinkingThere are no lights behind these, there are just press buttons.I've tried everything that the 'solutions' link shows apart from actually spending money.As the printer only cost me £30 UK Sterling, I think I'll just cough up get a new printer. The issue I have is that I have just purchased 2 new ink cartridges and really want a printer they fit. Hence my other thread about which printers are currently available that the cartridges fit.Cheers.

Wait...Can These Guys Actually Still Play?
Thirty years after they faced each other for the last time on the ATP Tour in Flushing, tennis rivals John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg will play again on nearby Randall's Island. Appropriately for their ages—McEnroe is 52, Borg 55—this time they'll play just a set to five games, with no deuces, a far cry from a best-of-five-set U.S. Open final. The whole thing could be over faster than their famous 18-16 tiebreaker at Wimbledon in 1980.
What's remarkable about the two former world No. 1 players is that, at least for 15 or 20 minutes, they can still play top-flight tennis.
McEnroe has hung with former top-ranked players much younger than him in recent years—at World Team Tennis events such as Thursday's, on the ATP's senior tour and in exhibitions. Borg has played much less frequently, but he beat McEnroe on the senior tour in 2009 and pushed him to a tiebreak in a one-set exhibition last year at Wimbledon, site of two of their best matches three decades earlier.
McEnroe is 13-11 on the senior circuit—called the ATP Champions Tour—since the start of 2009 against opponents who were on average seven and a half years younger than him. Last year, he pushed Andy Roddick, then 28 years old, to a tiebreaker in World Team Tennis. And in February, McEnroe outclassed Ivan Lendl, 6-3, in an exhibition at Madison Square Garden, though he had to retire from the match early because of an injury he suffered during warm-ups.
Such ailments intrude more on players in their 50s, whether they are club players or seven-time major champions. A reminder came when McEnroe's original opponent in this match, Jimmy Connors, dropped out with a knee injury. But McEnroe's game seemingly was designed to age well. In his prime he rarely won points with foot speed and defense, instead thriving with his serve and deft touch at the net. Those talents have stayed with him. Borg, meanwhile, isn't as fast as he was in his prime, when he could chase down balls that would be winners against ordinary opponents. But he retains his strong work ethic and knows his old rival well, as he showed by hitting several crowd-pleasing winners against McEnroe in that Wimbledon rematch last summer.
McEnroe says he is in better tennis shape than Borg, while his rival remains faster. "Personally, I'd prefer it to be a really close match and me winning," McEnroe says. However, he adds that the short-set format is "basically like a crapshoot."

Catfish are common across the country. Farm ponds are usually full of them, and just about every creek you cross has a healthy population.
For monster catfish, though, and we are talking about those weighing over 20 pounds, big rivers are where to find them, and fall is the best time of year to catch a real trophy.
Captain Ryan Casey operates a guide service on the Mississippi River called Show Me Catfishing. He said, "Fall is a great time to target big blue cats on the mighty Mississippi River.
"This time of year the big fish are feeding up before they hole up for winter."
There are dozens of large
rivers coursing through the heart of America.
The first to come to mind are the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio. Large notables in Indiana are the Wabash, East Fork of the White and West Fork of the White. These are big-river catfish waters.
Chances are there is a big river within easy driving distance of your house that produces monster cats.
The following should help you land a lunker catfish this fall.
Where to look
There are many different types of structure big catfish are drawn to in big rivers. Rocky banks, bridge pilings, snags, logjams, sandbars and break walls are prime areas. The mouths of tributaries also are key locations.
Look for seams in the current, eddies and drop-offs. Find the bait fish, and you should find big catfish. If you are in a boat, a good sonar unit will help you locate underwater flats and deep holes. If bank fishing, focus on visible structure.
Equipment you need
One great aspect of catfishing is the ability to keep your equipment fairly simple. You don't need a whole lot of fancy gear.
You can enjoy an exceptional catfishing adventure with nothing more than a rod, reel, hook, sinker, bobber and bait. You're targeting large fish, so you need a heavy rod with a reel that has a strong drag. You want a sensitive rod, so you can feel subtle bites. Your line needs to be stout. Use at least 25-pound test line. The weight of your sinker is determined by the current. The faster it is the heavier your sinker needs to be. In big rivers a three-ounce sinker is a common choice. Hooks need to be big and strong enough for big fish. A 3/0 hook is a good all-around catfish hook.
Bait to use
According to the Iowa DNR website, "As catfish grow to a larger size, their diet changes and a wider variety of food items are eaten. Fish, however, either alive or dead, make up the bulk of their forage after they reach 16 inches."
There are plenty of favorite baits out there for catfishing, but for big catfish, you should plan to use either live or dead bait fish.
Flatheads prefer to eat live fish. Small bluegills are a top choice, but make sure you know the rules of your state before fishing with them.
Blue catfish, which grow the largest, are usually targeted with cut bait. Shad is the most commonly used, and the smellier it is, the better.
If you have always wanted to catch a giant catfish, then make it happen this fall. On big rivers, whether you are fishing from a boat or from shore, you have the chance of catching a monster catfish. Once you land a couple of these hard-fighting, slick-skinned, whisker fish, you'll be hooked for years to come.
See you down the trail.

Comeback cod lessens gloom over emptying oceans
ABOARD HAUNES, Norwegian Sea, (Reuters) – It was hours before dawn on a heaving Arctic sea, and snow showers were making it hard for Kurt Ludvigsen to find his fishing buoys with the trawler's powerful searchlight.
But the 49-year-old Norwegian was less bothered by the conditions than by the large numbers of cod flailing in the nets he and his younger brother Trond winched aboard.
"It's paradoxical but we have too many fish this year," the older Ludvigsen said. "Prices have fallen 30 percent … We're having to work far harder."
Just over six years ago, an article in the U.S. journal Science projected that all fish and seafood species, on current trends, would collapse by 2048.
A cod bonanza off north Norway and Russia and recovery of some fish stocks off developed nations from the United States to Australia have led many scientists to say the future for over-fished world stocks is a bit less bleak.
Stocks off developing nations — from the Pacific to the Caribbean — are still in sharp decline but the recoveries give hope that the problems are not irreversible.
"The outlook is improving relative to what we saw in 2006," said Boris Worm, a professor of biology at Dalhousie University in Canada who was the lead author of the 2006 study in Science.
"It's more than isolated examples – it's a substantial number" of successes, he said.
A lot is at stake. Fisheries, both marine and farmed, provide livelihoods for up to 820 million people, according to the U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), which emphasises that globally, over-fishing is still on the rise.
Cod, the 11th most caught fish species in an FAO list led by the Peruvian anchovy, skipjack tuna and Atlantic herring, has had a mixed fate.
While a 1990s moratorium off eastern Canada is still in place and European Union quotas are unchanged this year, the quota off northern Norway and Russia is a record 1.02 million tonnes, up a third from 2012 and six times as high as in 1990.

The excitement and amazing performances at the 2008 Beijing Olympics bring to mind the importance of getting a great start "off the blocks." Whether you're Michael Phelps, striving for your record eighth gold medal in a single Olympic games, or Usain Bolt smashing the world records in both the 100-meter and 200-meter sprints, how you start is often the difference between gold and silver, between winning and not.
Similarly, getting a great start with IBM Service Management can help our clients deliver gold medal service quality with surprising speed. We've all talked to our clients about how IBM service management enables them to deliver quality service, operational efficiency and innovation through visibility, control, and automation. Our clients "get it," yet many of them face the same challenge: "How can we get started?"
To help you answer that question and get your clients off to that fast start that they're looking for, we've developed the IBM service management entry points. The entry points are documented "starter projects" based on actual customer usage and previous implementation experiences. IBM Service Management professionals worked extensively with customers and key industry analysts to create this set of five entry points that, upon completion, minimize time to value and achieve practical business benefits.
The five IBM Service Management entry points are:
Discover: Understanding infrastructure and business dependencies
Monitor: Tracking infrastructure health and compliance
Protect: Ensuring infrastructure security and resilience against threats and disaster
Industrialize: Streamlining workflows and processes for repeatable, scalable and consistent results
Integrate: Aligning and integrating IT and business operations and objectives for optimal impact
Be sure catch the replay of the August 26 IBM Service Management Jam webcast, "Where to Begin: The Five Entry Points" featuring Zarina Stanford, Director, Tivoli Marketing. Zarina discusses how implementing one or more of the entry point projects can help clients get a great start "off the blocks" and address with urgency the high priorities of cost reduction and operational inefficiencies, improving their service quality and positioning themselves not only in the lead, but with the absolute best chance to win.

Service Management: Why is visibility do important?
Kathleen Holm 2700009BHX email@example.com Tags:  visibility ibm service-management 2,047 Visits
Business and operational audiences often lack the visibility they need to more effectively manage their business objectives. They frequently have an obscured view of their business and IT assets and how they come together to support services. In addition, processes and workflow are often disconnected across organizational boundaries.
The result is lost opportunities and an inability to meet or exceed critical business objectives. If you cannot see your assets, and their relationship to the service you are delivering, you cannot respond quickly to new opportunities or to problems when they arise. The lack of adequate governance across asset types (business & IT, People, Information) leads to unnecessary risk and an inability to effectively meet compliance and audit requirements. Further, if you cannot manage assets effectively across organizational boundaries, it's difficult to lower the return on those assets, information and people and effectively manage operational expense.
Business dashboards display service performance in a business context showing KPIs that include transactions, customer activity, and other key metrics. Dashboards pull information from both business sources and IT sources, then connect and display the information to show not only how IT is performing but how that performance is impacting these key services.
In addition, operational dashboards show the technical status of business services and the supporting infrastructure. These dashboards can be used to visualize emerging technical problems, and business impact—in many cases, prior to customers even becoming aware that a problem exists.
Subsequently, they can isolate service root cause, identify problem owners and guide them through resolution.

Rustic base lodge to be welcome siteDecember 27,2013Rustic base lodge
to be welcome site
STOWE An 86-year-old building that has served as a rustic base lodge, hostel and gift shop at the southern foot of Smugglers Notch in Vermont is being turned into a state-run welcome center.
Seth Jensen of the Lamoille County Planning Commission told Vermont Public Radio that the Barnes Camp was built in 1927 and used by hikers and skiers before the opening of Stowe Mountain Resort.
The resort has been using it for storage for several decades, but the state plans to re-open it in the spring as a visitors center where people can learn about the areas history and natural resources.

This review is from: Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Pro 500GB USB 3.0 2.5" External Hard Drive STAD500102 Black
Pros: Fast! I back up my 2008 server with Acronis BR10 and FreeAgent Go drives. 300GB to back up. It usually takes 4.5 hours with a FreeAGent Go and the onboard USB 2.0 My first move was adding a SIIG PCIex1 USB 3.0 controller and the backup time went down to 3.5 hours with the same FreeAgent Go USB 2.0 drives. My next move was to this FreeAgent GoFlex Pro USB 3.0 drive. The backup time went down to 1.5 hours! Full image backups of a 300GB (used) server in an hour. What more can I say!
Cons: The docking station needs some work. They did away with one of the USB connectors (the FreeAGent Go dock had two USB leads for extra power) and the docking stations is almost too small to support the drive. It is difficuly to insert the drive in to the docking station because there are no guides. LEDs on the drive itself are a waste (as they were on the FreeAgen Go drives).
Other Thoughts: They need to make the docking station a little bigger with some type of guide to help seat the drive. They also need to sell the drives and docking stations seperately. To my knowledge you have to by the pair at this point. I am sure this will chawith time. All I can say is FAST!

Talk is cheap and so are thumb drives. [/quote] Then use this as a time to prove what you think. Ask the media to cover this and find the facts. But you are wrong, he has shown many different reactors, such as the flash lite he showed, or the reactors that was removing CO2 from the air during a presentation. The only reactor you are wanting to see is the spaceship reactor. And it has been blocked from being demonstrated due to it having "radioactive" elements in it. Now with what is happening maybe it will get shown. But if that is what you need to be proven it is all real then start asking the media to cover this. [/quote] The onus is not on me it is upon the one making the extraordinary claims, ie: Keshe. Personally I have no dog in this fight, but if he has what he says he has, then he needs to provide genuine empirical evidence. Otherwise it is just more blah blah. [/quote] You did not read above very well. He has given that evidence, just not the reactor for the "spaceship". And if you believe what he has said to be false about why he cannot show that reactor in public, then why would you not want it to be proven that? [/quote] I read it just fine. He says he has a plasma reactor..Prove it! Quite simple really. If radiation is a problem set up a remote video feed out in the middle of the desert. People have shot movies of nuclear explosions, there are always ways to do things, if you can actually do them. The other demonstrations are not showing a plasma reactor. If you say you have a plasma reactor then that is what I want to see. Working, and verified as doing so by a credible group of witnesses. Physicists primarily among them. [/quote] No, the government in Belgium will not let him move it. There is no danger from the elements within the reactor, they just will not let him show that type of reactor. All this is out there. And like i said before it you want that as proof then you need to get the media involved. There is no point in arguing whether it is real or not when all the facts have not been shown. And MSM is the only way either side will be prove right. [/quote]
Original Message
The title says it all. along with Brazil, Australia, and Congo they all received the technology today (link to USA post [
link to www.keshefoundation.org
We are proud to announce that today 15.11.2012 the Nation of United States of America has received the USB stick containing all patents and blueprints of nuclear reactor plasma spaceship technology of the Keshe Foundation.
We welcome our American brothers in the family of the Keshe Foundations' spaceship program and surely we will reach new horizons with the addition of American government and NASA to our family.
Following My letter offering as a gift the spaceship program to the ambassador of USA in Belgium in late October, on the 6.11.2012 at 3.45 pm I was in receipt of an e-mail in response to this friendly offer from the USA embassy in Brussels.
The content of the e-mail from the embassy confirmed that USA is ready to accept the gift of the nuclear reactor plasma spaceship technology of the Keshe Foundation and in return e-mails immediately the date was agreed as was suggested by the embassy.
Today 15.11.2012 at 3pm at the appointed place the director of the Keshe Foundation and the senior officer of the US embassy met in a friendly and cordially manner and the spaceship technology USB stick was handed over to the government of United States of America.
We have offered the US and NASA our full support for their development and deployment of this technology.
With this meeting and exchange of nuclear technology we hope to bring to an end the lasting apparent animosity between the two nations.
We shall build on this progress to bring peace into space for all nations.
I as the director of the Keshe Foundation and an Iranian nuclear scientist thank his Excellency president Obama for ordering such a move by his embassy.
In our meeting we have reached and extended the hand of peace from our side to His nation and I hope this will be reciprocated the same by his Excellency president Obama, now that borders have become meaningless with deployment of this new spaceship program and technology.
I thank the American ambassador his Excellency Mr. Gutman for this most gracious move and I am sure the first steps towards peace between two nations as is the wish of Iran has come to take shape.
With Kindest regards to all men of peace
M T Keshe
The director of the Keshe Foundation
I am going to be sending emails and calling the US Embassy, in Brussels, to get confirmation from them myself. If this is a hoax then this will blow it out of the water. I want to ask everyone that is ok with it to do the same thing. I am also going to start emailing all MSM here in the US to get one of them to cover this, i ask you to do the same if you are willing to.

The Bullitt County Health Department wants to remind the community the best way to prevent flu is to get a flu vaccination each year. Seasonal flu shots will be available at the following locations:
Flu shot clinics will be held at the Bullitt County Health Department beginning the week of Tuesday, October 5, 2010. The hours for flu shot clinics will be Tuesdays from 7:45 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The buyer should always beware.
That is the message sent out by the Bullitt County Sheriff's Department and the Better Business Bureau.
After a local couple was scammed by a roofing and paving contractor, Det. Scotty McGaha of the Bullitt County Sheriff's Department said his investigations, along with the BBB, has resulted in five scam operations.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - It is certainly not where Bullitt County school officials want to be. However, they are pleased that the district schools are making progress in meeting the federal No Child Left Behind standards.
Even with higher marks to meet, Bullitt County schools saw an increase in the number of targets being met, according to results released on Thursday.
HEBRON ESTATES - The city of Hebron Estates may collect less tax revenue over the next few years, but local taxes will not be increased.
Real and personal property tax rate ordinances were approved during the city's September meeting. Both rates were set at 9.2 cents per $100 of property.
That equals $92 for a $100,000 home.
City attorney Mark Edison noted that the same 9.2 rate was used in 2009.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - A large number of fish are dead along the Salt River in Bullitt and Spencer Counties.
The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources are investigating the situation, believing it to be a natural occurrence.
Fish and Wildlife first received calls about the fish last Thursday. when about 30 fish were reported dead in a Salt River tributary.
It was a feast for the senses at this year's Shepherdsfest.
The annual Christian art and music showcase recently drew hundreds to Cedar Grove Baptist Church.
Folks of all ages had the opportunity see the handiwork of local artists, listen to live music, participate in arts and crafts and sample mouthwatering fare like barbeque and Kentucky burgoo.
SHELBYVILLE - For the fifth time in the six games played this season, the Bullitt East Chargers found themselves down an early touchdown.
Sometimes the red and gold have been able to rally this season and sometimes they have not. On Friday, there was no chance to battle back after the Chargers fell behind 35-0 in the first quarter against first-year football power Martha Layne Collins High School. It was all over but the shouting at that point as the Titans went on to win 52-7.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Highway District 5 reports the following roadwork scheduled in Bullitt County for the week of September 27:
Bullitt County:
KY 1442 (Ridge Road): Lane closures and delays possible the entire length of the roadway for resurfacing.
Jefferson County:
LEBANON JUNCTION - City police will soon have a place to call their own after years of sharing City Hall with the mayor and the city clerk and it's all thanks to the dozens of people who have lent a hand to convert the former library on Main Street into a police station.
What began as an empty 52-by-22 foot space in July has since been sectioned off and drywalled, creating an office for the chief of police, an interrogation room, a reception area, storage and space for each officer to have his own desk.
HEBRON ESTATES - A hot local volleyball season got turned up a few more degrees last Tuesday as North Bullitt and Bullitt East battled through three intense games before the Lady Eagles scored the last four points of the match for the victory.
The victory went to the green and gold by a 25-12, 20-25, 26-24 count.
Through a strange fluke in the scheduling, the two teams will meet again this Thursday in Mount Washington.

Doctor of Ministry Degree Program
Empower your preaching
Distinguish your ministry with advanced seminary training, the kind that connects rich theology with practical ministry and powerful preaching. Knox Theological Seminary offers a 21st century Doctor of Ministry program that can immeasurably deepen a pastor's understanding of Scripture through preparation in exegetical theory and resources designed to embolden preaching.
The Doctor of Ministry is a professional program for pastors, missionaries, and others actively engaged in ministry-related fields. Get the kind of solid biblical and exegetical training that will enhance your Christ-centered preaching and help you teach the gospel with the boldness and clarity needed in a rapidly changing culture.
Knox currently offers four tracks of specialization in the Doctor of Ministry program:
- Biblical Preaching and Teaching
- Theological Exegesis
- Gospel in Church and Culture
- Theology and Worship of the English Reformation *NEW*
Paced with the modern minister in mind.
The Knox DMin caters to pastors in full-time ministry. Courses are offered in one-week intensive sessions throughout the year and up to three courses can be taken online.
Attain biblical, theological, exegetical, and preaching expertise.
You will study under world-class faculty and learn from some of the best theological and pastoral minds for the needs of the church today. Add to that ATS accreditation, a diverse student body, a global community of learners, and competitive tuition.
Academic Requirements for Admisison
A Master of Divinity degree from an accredited seminary, or its equivalent, with a grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, followed by at least three years of ministry experience is required. (Equivalency will be decided by the Admissions Committee, and will ordinarily be defined as 72 graduate semester hours or comparable graduate credits in other systems that represent broad-based work in theology, Biblical studies, and the arts of ministry and that include a master's degree.)
At their discretion, the Doctor of Ministry Program Committee will interview a prospective student to evaluate the individual's knowledge and skills for ministry in light of the Seminary's vision for ministry.
Academic Requirements for Candidacy
Satisfactory completion of all coursework (24 credit hours) with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 and Program Committee approval of the major project proposal. At their discretion, the Program Committee will interview a candidate to evaluate the individual's readiness for candidacy.
Final Project Presentation and Evaluation
The purpose of the Major Project is to demonstrate the student's ability to integrate the academic content of the Doctor of Ministry course curriculum with the nature and practice of ministry for the purposes of enhancing the personal practice of ministry. Each project will:
- address a ministerial concern from a theological and a practical point of view,
- have a personal and public rationale and application,
- integrate theoretical and practical considerations, and
- constitute a major contribution to the practice of ministry.
All students are required to complete the project presentation and evaluation at least five weeks before graduation. Normally present for the project presentation and evaluation are the Program Committee, the Project Committee, and any parties invited by the Program Committee.
Academic Requirements for Completion
All requirements for the Doctor of Ministry degree must be completed within six years from the time of matriculation. Petitions for an exception to this requirement must be approved by the Program Committee.
The candidate will complete a total of 30 credit hours with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. This includes successful completion of eight seminars (24 credit hours) plus the major project (six credit hours). Upon completion of the major project, the candidate will make a successful oral presentation of the work to the Program Committee and the Project Committee for evaluation.
Upon successful completion, the student is awarded the Doctor of Ministry degree.

Student Testimonial
"There is such a great need for orthodox clarification to the population who straddle many denominations and are confused by today's social gospel and secular humanism. I hear it wherever I go. I cherish many of the statements from Dr. Waltke's doctor of ministry course at Knox. He brings clarity to the war that is upon us to become sensitized in spirit, soul, and body as we seek to radiate the indwelling presence of the Living God in what we think, say, and do; not just on Sunday mornings." –Michael J. Driscoll

War in Afghanistan: The Unseen Sacrifice (The Huffington Post)
December 19, 2012
In a blog on The Huffington Post, President Emeritus James Wright writes about the costs of war "that have been even more hidden than the future bills for these deficit-financed wars."
Wright, the author of Those Who Have Borne the Battle: A History of America's Wars and Those Who Fought Them, writes, "So far this year 302 American servicemen and women have died in Afghanistan, 2,166 since the war began over 11 years ago. There have been 17,674 wounded. Plus countless others bearing silent wounds."
Wright says it is important to know "the human face of war," and contends that "Americans need to confront, as Mr. Lincoln did, the necessary human cost of war. In the summer of 1864 President Lincoln watched wagons with dead and wounded returning from what would become the long, bloody siege of Petersburg, and he said, 'I cannot bear it. This suffering, this loss of life is dreadful.' It still is."

Hey everyone! Does anyone have any or know if the short old school water bottles are still made? Need a couple. Thanks for your time. jgs
Check out the Nalgene Narrow-Neck 16oz. it's about a full inch shorter than a traditional cycling bottle.
I recently was given one with an REI logo on it. But I looked on REI's website and couldn't find it. It's a really high quality one, too. Good luck.
worth a look:
http://specializedwaterbottles.com/bottles/ .
Whooo Hoooo....... I just looked on ebay under vintage. I cannot believe the prices for the old water bottles! Anywhere from $45 to over $100 bucks. I don't want logos or colors. White is fine. I guess I'm going to flea markets and junk stores to find a couple. Thanks everyone. Still open to ideas or leads.
I got one of Specialized's shorties thrown in when I bought my Bike Friday.
talk to your Specialized dealer , maybe they can order some without shop logos on it
since there is a printing minimum batch.
like this one
How many do you want? White or Granite?
As for size........ like this one on the auction site. I guess they were about 6-7" ????? White is my first choice after that.... any color. I need 2 of them. shipping to 42104 Let me know the cost
I'm assuming your trying to squeeze it into a tight-pack situation and not looking for some collectable.
Try this for $5.00
They usually give out these types of bottles for free at regional charity rides. Expect them to be littered with logos though.
>>> I need 2 of them. shipping to 42104 Let me know the cost<<<<
Unfortunately, I'm leaving for Florida tomorrow AM and won't be able to get to this until after Christmas. Can you PM me around December 26th? Or e-mail me directly at (address encoded) tommontalbano at google's mail server.

"Amantani Island" Isla Amantani by Zanzibargirl
Isla Amantani Travel Guide: 25 reviews and 61 photos
Amantani Island is one of the lesser visited islands located on Lake Titicaca. Its people known as Aimara are dedicated to agriculture around its main town of Amantani. However these days farming is not as necessary as previously for survival since tourism is on the increase as people come here for the chance to stay with a local family. Many families of the island have opened their homes to visitors and tourists who pay to stay and see how they live.
The adobes are very comfy and more than adequate sleeping quaters for the night, plus a great chance to try and get to know some of the locals. They will prepare meals for you and show you up to the main square for a game of soccer at an altitude of 4000 feet (you will be puffing!) and to the summit point which boasts the ruins of a temple to Pacha Mama. Take in a sunset from the top as its a wonderful view. You can circle the temple three times at the top for a wish.
By night families dress their visitors up in local attire and you wear your costume to the town hall for the "Inca Disco". Peruvian folk music is played by a band with flutes and drums and they will teach you some of the traditional dances that they enjoy on the island.
By the end of even just one night you will feel like you have a whole new family as the locals are so welcoming. You form a bond with your "Mama" and "Papa" in such a short time. It really is a rewarding experience so check it out.
- Pros:Immersing into local life, sunset vistas and Inca Disco experience
- Cons:Not a lot of sites really to see on the island, and only 1 night...
- In a nutshell:Home Stay away from Home

Duration: 1hr 38min
Sixteen-year-old Poppy is a self-obsessed, incorrigible brat who lives a pampered life in her L.A. world. Although she's handed credit cards with unlimited balances and surrounded by countless hangers on, Poppy can't escape the mounting frustration she feels with her family situation. And she makes sure that everyone knows it. After an over-the-top prank pushes her father one step too far, Poppy is shipped off to an English boarding school. Finding herself in a foreign world of early curfews, stern matrons and mandatory lacrosse, the American princess has finally met her match: a school of British girls who won't tolerate her spoiled ways. Under the watchful eye of the school's headmistress and surrounded by a new circle of friends, Poppy begrudgingly realizes her bad-girl behavior will only get her so far. But just because she must grow into a fine young lady doesn't mean this "wild child" won't be spending every waking hour shaking up a very proper system.

I have just downloaded Eclipse, started it and found that "Open Project" button is disabled. So how do I open my project =) ?
"Open Project" button will only be enabled when there is a project selected in the active view. If you just downloaded Eclipse and started on a brand new workspace without any project created or imported, you would need to use File > New > Project... or File > Import... to add a project in your workspace.
Go to File->Import and select "General" and from the list select "Existing Projects into Workspace" then click "Next". After that in the next dialog, for the root directory, if your project exists in the "D:\Projects\Android\Test" folder (for example), type "D:\Projects\Android" and click on "Refresh" button. You will see your project(s) in the result list. Click on "Finish" and done.

when driving there is a hum noise in the front, cannot tell which side, can feel vibration like a hum in the steering wheel. When turning to the left the noise subsides and turning to the right the noise remains the same. The tires seem to be fine, balanced and wearing well. The noise has gotten louder. Is it a bearing?

Narantsetseg has been selling baby clothes in a rented booth in the local market since 2004.

They are hardworking, open-minded and friendly people. Narantsetseg is now requesting 3,000,000 MNT to purchase winter clothes to sell in her rental booth when seasonal clothing demand is high.

Additional Information
About XacBankThis loan is being administered through XacBank, a Mongolian for-profit microfinance institution. XacBank is located in every province of Mongolia, reaching some of the most rural micro business clients. With this Kiva loan, there is an opportunity for the entrepreneur to get a savings account including 9% of the interest if they pay back the loan on time. This is a special savings account that XacBank has specifically prepared for the Kiva loan borrowers to promote savings habits.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

University of Kansas researchers work with Oklahoma state workers to address substance abuse family issues
Officials with the state Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services say a new partnership between the department and the University of Kansas will allow the state to serve certain families more effectively.
Researchers from KU are joining with the department to find quicker ways to reunite parents with children who have been removed from the home.
The program is a continuation of work begun in Oklahoma by KU researchers to implement a screening tool that identifies parents who are at risk of substance abuse disorders. The new program will be funded through a five-year, $3.25 million grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
During the early years of the program, researchers launched a pilot initiative in Oklahoma County, said Elicia Berryhill, a senior prevention program manager with the department. The new grant will allow the department and KU researchers to expand the program statewide.
The screening tool has allowed state workers to do a better job of referring families to the services they need, Berryhill said, meaning the process of getting help is easier for those families to navigate.
Drug and alcohol use is a factor in about 60 percent of cases in which children are placed into foster care, said KU child welfare professor Jody Brook. Because of that level of prevalence, addressing substance abuse issues in parents could be an effective way of reducing the number of children in the foster care system.
Under the new grant, researchers hope to continue implementing the substance abuse screening tool and help state case workers have better tools to help families whose children have been removed from the home because of to substance abuse.
Like most places, Brook said, Oklahoma has unique strengths and challenges that will present themselves when researchers begin to implement the program.
One of those strengths is a strong commitment among several state agencies to provide care for the families in the program. Oklahoma has led the nation in developing techniques to support substance abuse treatment and coordination of care, she said.
Oklahoma's rural nature will present researchers with a challenge, Brook said. But KU researchers recently implemented a similar program for families in Kansas, which also has vast rural areas, and were able to reduce the average foster child's term in foster care by 190 days. Researchers hope to take some of the lessons they learned in Kansas and apply them to Oklahoma, she said.
One of the new portions of the program is a type of therapy that is geared toward parents whose children have been placed in foster care due to the parents' substance abuse.
Known as solution-focused brief therapy, the method helps the parents focus on progress they've made, rather than things they're doing wrong, said Johnny Kim, a KU professor of social welfare.
The method of therapy has become popular recently, Kim said, but more research is needed to see how effective it is in different settings and with different clients. The program is a good opportunity to evaluate the method's effectiveness while potentially helping families around the state, he said.
The therapy works under the assumption that, no matter how bad the parent's problems have become, there's a time when they're able to manage their substance abuse or addiction, Kim said.
By teaching the client to focus on those times rather than the times when they fall short, researchers hope to make the clients more receptive to behavior changes.
The method tends to include about five to eight therapy sessions, Kim said, depending on how complex the problem is and how committed the client is.
Rather than trying to uncover the underlying cause of the problem, which could take months, researchers focus on how to solve it.
"We're sort of jumping straight to the solutions and trying to build on that," Kim said.
