I seriously think ruffle cakes might be my new favorite thing! There's something so lovely and feminine about them… making them a perfect addition to sweet occasions like bridal & baby showers.
And speaking of ruffle cakes, check out the beauties starring in this fun & whimsical HAPPY TRAILS Baby Shower created by Katie of Saving Dates. She did such a great job arranging tons of different treats (including cupcake push pops and adorable candy-filled mason jars!) and mixing in decorative elements like hanging pomanders and flowers for a decidedly "springtime" feel. This theme & color palette would work well for summer showers too!
Read on for lots more HAPPY images + all the creative details…
PARTY DETAILS, as told by Katie,
"I used my own custom printables for cupcake toppers, bunting banners, food labels, water bottles and more. I made paper pomander balls that hang from the ceiling with inspiration from Frog Prince Paperie.
I made the favors using small mason jars filled with candy then covered in fabric piece with pinking shears then wrapped and tied with raffia.
We had several cakes and cookies made by Julie Mullen at Sugar Custom Cakes along with these adorable cupcake pushpops that were made by me."

Running an effective and profitable gold business boils down to three essential principles. Without one of these "legs" in the stool, your business won't be as profitable. So what are they? Optimization, Reducing Costs and Diversification.
OptimizeFord Motor became a powerhouse in the car industry not because they had the best product, but because they were the most efficient thanks to the assembly line. They were able to crank out the most cars because they optimized their process. Setting up your business requires some optimization. Two quick considerations:
- Profession Pairings: Jewelcrafting + Alchemy or Enchanting both have some nice synergy. If you make a lot of jewelery to disenchant, save yourself some time and mailing costs by pairing them up. Or maybe you're transmuting Carnelians into Inferno Rubies? JC/Alchemy might be best then.
- Daily Routine: How many characters do you need to log into each day? Depending on the time of day, load times can eat into your routine. Balancing multiple characters and professions can be difficult. Which ones need to be "craft on demand" because of space or volume limitations? Which professions can you get away with crafting only weekly and storing the goods in the bank or in mail messages?
Reduce Costs
To turn a profit, you absolutely must sell above your cost. If someone is constantly undercutting me for less than my cost, I have to wonder: how are they doing it? Probably they have lower starting costs than me. If you can't drop the price more, how can you reduce the costs? Consider:
- It's been well documented that there are market swings. As you gain capital, start buying out supplies when the market is low and use your stock to carry you through the high points. Use a snatch list of some sort.
- Build relationships with farmers and suppliers. Negotiate a price and then give them some incentives to meet. "I'll buy Pyrite Ore for 60g/stack. In addition, I'll supply you with 1 free cut gem of your choice for every 20 stacks." People see that little bit extra and might lower their price for the allure of the free stuff.
DiversifyDiversification will help you keep a consistent cash flow going. Gem prices are down this week? Try focusing on enchanting scrolls instead. Enchanting Rods are down? Start looking for a new market. I like to master a single industry before going all out in another market. However, while I was busy building my gem business, I also started testing the enchanting scroll market. Now that gems are on auto-pilot, I'm focusing on optimizing scrolls and testing the waters in Darkmoon and Mysterious Fortune Cards.
Which of the three core practices are you strongest at? Where are you weakest? What's your plan to improve?

It didn't take Derek Anderson long to regret ripping Browns fans. He sent a statement early Wednesday morning through a former Browns public relations manager.
"I said some things to (the New-Herald's) Jeff Schudel earlier that I regret," he wrote. "Those of you who got to know me personally from covering the Browns over the past five years, know this was out of character for me. I wasn't taken out of context, but I was speaking out of frustration after my career with the Browns come to a close.
"I had some great times playing in Cleveland, especially during the 2007 season, and I met some great people and made many lifelong friends along the way. I'm looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life."
Anderson, who spent five years as a Browns quarterback, had a strained relationship with Browns fans after repeated boos and an ugly episode when they cheered a serious knee injury. He was released Tuesday.

MEDINA — A 48-year-old Ashland County man accused of shooting a Brunswick man in a Dairy Queen parking lot last month was indicted on an attempted murder charge.
Terry M. Yuschak, of Perrysville, is being held at the Medina County Jail on $1 million bond.
The March 26 indictment also charged him with felonious assault and having weapons while on parole or probation. In addition, prosecutors tacked on a firearm specification that will make prison mandatory if he's convicted.
Yuschak could face 12 or more years in prison if convicted.
The man is accused of shooting 22-year-old Martez T. Hope, of Brunswick, on March 20 in Medina Township during what police suspect was a drug deal gone wrong.
Hope has been in critical condition at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland since that night, a hospital spokeswoman said.
According to police reports, Yuschak's bullet pierced Hope's arm and entered his chest.
Nearby police responded and quickly arrested Yuschak, who had fled on foot.
Also indicted was Mason H. Braun, 18, of Medina Township, who was charged with tampering with evidence. Police reported Braun tried to dispose of the gun Yuschak used. The weapon later was recovered by police.
If convicted, Braun could face three years in prison.

Stanford Post-Game Notes
Notre Dame, November 23, 2011
- Andrew Luck broke the career-record by John Elway and his own single-season record for touchdowns in the first half, finishing with 80 in his career and 35 on the season. Luck set the career (was 77 by Elway) and season record (was 32 by Luck in 2010) with a 28-yard strike to Coby Fleener (4:45) in the first quarter. Luck tied John Elway's all-time record (and his single-season record) with a three-yard TD pass in the first (9:16) to Levine Toilolo.
- Andrew Luck also set the school-record for total offense (10,218 yards), breaking Steven Stenstrom's total of 9,825 yards.
- Luck has thrown four touchdowns seven times. Luck has thrown for three TD's or more 15 times in his career.
- Andrew Luck is just the third quarterback to post three-straight wins over Notre Dame, joining Mike Phipps (Purdue, 1967-69) and Matt Leinert (USC, 2003-05).
- Coby Fleener with two scores tonight and 18 in his career puts him fifth all-time.
- Chase Thomas recorded 2.0 sacks and now has 20.0 in his career.
- It was the second career interception for Corey Gatewood (happening in the second quarter) and first since 2009.
- It was the first time this year Stanford has shut out an opponent in the first half this year. The 15 yards first half rushing was the fifth-lowest by an opponent this year following Arizona (negative 6), Colorado (negative 1), USC (5) and San Jose State (9).
- It was the 12th 100-yard game for Stepfan Taylor (third all-time) as he has had five games this year with 100 yards and another three with 95 to 99 yards.
- Stanford is now 8-2 in its last 10 games against ranked teams.
- Stanford is now 36-14 since 2008 and 31-7 since 2009. The team's home record is now 23-3 dating back to the last home game in 2007.
- It was a season-high in penalties tonight.
- With the team's final home game of the season, the senior class is 36-15 over the last four years.
- The attendance of 50,360 is the team's sixth sellout (of seven) of the season.

Did anyone ever watch Milo and Otis? Come on, that movie was amazing. An epic journey between a tabby cat and a pug dog! Ohhh I always used to cry when Milo jumped in the box and got swept away by the river

Women's Swim Scores Exciting 62-60 Win Over LBCC
With perhaps its finest corps of top performers in 13 years under head coach Terry Stoddard, the Pasadena City College women's swim team went to the limit to defeat host Long Beach City College Friday afternoon. The Lancers scored a 62-60 victory over the Vikings and also downed Los Angeles Trade-Tech, 91-30, as the team concluded the dual meet portion of the season with a strong 5-3 South Coast Conference record.
While every point proved important in the LBCC win, the Lancers started things with a close triumph in the 200-yard medley relay on a time of 2:03.52. The mark turned in by sophomore Mikela Velasquez, freshman Giselle Mendieta, freshman Paige Watroba, and sophomore Courtney Jensen was 1.73 seconds faster than the Vikings' foursome.
Jensen, who competed at last year's CCCAA state meet, scored individual event victories in the 1,000 freestyle (11:52.21), 50 backstroke (33.40), and 500 freestyle (5:41.81). Watroba also had a big meet with her first place finishes in the 100 butterfly (1:08.33), 100 backstroke (1:09.95), and 50 butterfly (30.35).
Velasquez, beaten earlier in the 100 freestyle by just .76 of a second, clinched the team victory late in the meet by winning the 100 individual medley race at 1:04.73. Sophomore Cynthia Martinez helped do her part for the Lancers with a key second place finish behind Watroba in the 100 butterfly (1:10.62). Both Mendieta and Velasquez had a pair of second places in other events.
"Mikela is a winner. Her second places in the freestyle events were both unexpected and tight races. But she stayed focused in the 100 IM and won by a lot. When it counted, she came through for the team at the most critical point of the meet" Stoddard said.
The Lancers are looking forward to the SCC Championships meet, eyeing a potential high finish. PCC won its only conference team title in 2003. The championship meet combines the finals with the dual season to determine the team placing for the regular season. PCC hosts the SCC Championships April 19-21 at the Aquatic Center. Regardless of the team finish, the Lancers expect several swimmers to advance to the CCCAA State Championships the following week at East Los Angeles College (April 26-28).
This Friday-Saturday, April 6-7, PCC hosts the 12th Pasadena Invitational.
The Lancers men lost to Long Beach, 92-38, and downed LA Trade-Tech, 104-15, as the team takes a 3-4 dual meet record into the SCC Championships.
The usual suspects were again in fine form for PCC as Cario Liu swam to three event wins in the 200 backstroke (1:59.33), 200 breaststroke (2:13.17) and 500 freestyle (4:57.05), while Stephen To won the 100 butterfly (51.65) and 200 butterfly (1:54.67). Unfortunately for the Lancers, Long Beach won every other event.
Stoddard said that both Liu and To turned in outstanding performances. Liu swam a season best in the backstroke by four seconds in breaking the 2-minute mark. His freestyle triumph was also a season best, nearly four seconds faster than previous marks. All three of his event wins would have qualified him for each stroke at last year's CCCAA State meet, according to Stoddard.
To's 200 fly victory was a personal best time and his 100 fly a season best by 1.3 seconds. His second place in the 200 freestyle (1:48.41) was his season best by three seconds.

According to Fox News Channel's venerable editorialist Bill O'Reilly, a patriot is apparently anyone who
"…served their country," motives and deeds be damned.
The longtime O'Reilly Factor host opined in an interview last week on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, that:
"… both President Bush the younger and Barack Obama are patriots because they served their country. You may not agree with them, alright? But I don't think you say they're not patriots unless you have, you know, evidence that is just through the roof. I think almost every president that's ever served this nation has been a patriot, including Richard Nixon."
"Patriot," as it's used today was not always understood as a "person who loves, supports, and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion."
(Of course in the case of Mr. Obama, the country to which he emigrated as a young boy, America, desperately needed fundamental transformation, the type of which only he and his radical liberal cohorts could bring about. To THAT imagined America one cannot dispute his loyalty.)
Perusing the etymological dictionary one finds some intriguing facts about the historical linguistic change manifested in the word "patriot." For example one of its first uses comes from the early Latin term patriota, translating simply as "fellow countrymen."
By the 1600s the definition of patriot had shifted to mean a "loyal and disinterested supporter of one's country." However in an ironic twist it later became a term of ridicule or abuse (in mid-18th century England) taking on the idea of "one whose ruling passion is the love of his country," and was sometimes even used to describe a "factious disturber of the government."
For a while the application had become so negative that, as the Online Etymology Dictionary states:
The name of patriot had become [c.1744] a by-word of derision. Horace Walpole [4th Earl of Orford] scarcely exaggerated when he said that '... the most popular declaration which a candidate could make on the hustings [the place where political campaign speeches were made] was that he had never been and never would be a patriot.'"
Based on a sober preponderance of the evidence one might be able to concur with Mr. O'Reilly's remarks about Barack Obama's "patriotism" – IF he were using the 18th century "factious disturber…" reference. Clearly he was not.
And it leaves a person with a sense of bewilderment to fathom how the man can paint such a picture of columbine American loyalism, i.e. true patriotism, when, to use his words, "the evidence IS just through the roof" to the contrary.
Anyone requiring an explanation of said evidence at this juncture, will never get it anyway, thus none shall be offered or expounded upon here.

Lady Bug was a very pregnant German shepherd that was sent to a high kill gassing shelter in the south with a severely broken leg. Her leg had been broken for several weeks prior to arriving at the shelter.
Lady Bug was in severe pain, emaciated and very pregnant. She needed immediate rescue. Home At Last Dog Rescue,with the help of volunteers, was able to find emergency transport from South Carolina to Pennsylvania.
This poor baby got her first plane trip that day, as a small plane was able to fly her to a tiny airport in Harrisburg. A HAL volunteer picked up a very stressed and very pregnant Lady and drove her back to North Wales.
Lady was seen by an orthopedic surgeon and neonatologist the next day to determine if her unborn pups could withstand her going through emergency surgery. It was decided that it was best for her to get the surgery immediately as she was in a huge amount of pain.
Lady Bug had the surgery and was brought home. A few days later she went into labor. Unfortunately, Lady Bug ran into some serious complications, and was rushed to an emergency vet for an emergency C-Section.
Now the proud mama dog has five little girls and three little boys, all healthy. Lady Bug's medical expenses are through the roof. Her bill has exceeded the cost of what Home At Last Dog Rescue can afford.
They need funds to cover her orthopedic surgery, C-section, rehab, follow-up visits and vetting for the puppies.
To be able to help support the next dog in need of care, HAL is turning to the community for help. You can donate toward Ladybugs care by clicking here, where a YouCaring webpage has been set up in her name.
Thanks to Home At Last, Ladybug remains friendly and perseveres through each hurdle on her way to her new life as a family dog. First, she needs her medical needs met, after which a loving home will be found for this deserving girl.
Please share her story with those who love dogs, and give a few dollars if you can. Being a 501c3 organization, all donations are tax deductible.

An uptick is an increase in price of a security traded in the market.
Expanded Definition
The term is significant in the uptick rule which required an uptick before a short sale. This rule impeded short selling in a sharply declining market. The rule is no longer in place. Some believe that elimination of the uptick rule is a factor in the increased volatility of the stock market.

Thomas Maltman at Book Lovers Night August 5
Thomas Maltman, author of The Night Birds, is the featured guest at the College of Saint Benedict's "Book Lovers Night" Wednesday, Aug. 5 at Teresa Reception Center, Main Building, CSB.

AVA disputes continue in Napa Valley, Alpha Omega gets some love
It's a hot, sweltering Friday afternoon and all we feel like doing is popping open a nice bottle of cool, crisp sauvignon blanc–if anyone has any suggestions, we're all ears! In the meantime, here are a couple news items that caught our eye today.
No AVA designation for east Napa, at least not yet
Last week we wrote about the continuing saga around the designation of the Calistoga AVA and what it might mean for a couple of small, local wineries. That discussion has continued over on Fermentation–check out this link for the update. Turns out the folks in Calistoga aren't the only ones having an issue establishing a new AVA.
Vintners in the area of east Napa–know to many (dare we say most?) in the valley as Coombsville–had sought to establish an AVA. The issue stemmed over what to call the AVA. The application was apparently filed requesting the area be named the "Tulocay" AVA, while others pushed for it to be called the Coombsville (or Coombsville District) AVA. According to the Napa Register (check out the link for some very surprising quotes), yesterday the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau ruled that due to lack of agreement on the naming issue, there would be no AVA distinction for the area at all.
Alpha Omega Winery feels the local love
One of the wineries that's long intrigued us is Rutherford's Alpha Omega Winery. In fact, we stopped by earlier this year to do a drop-in tasting, but found the winery to be undergoing a massive construction project. While it was still open, we decided to hold off and wait for the construction to be completed before paying a formal visit.
Now, it sounds as though that time may be near. We drive past the winery on a daily basis and from what we can tell the construction is nearly finished–even the pond with three or four fountains shooting water high in the air out front has been refilled and up and running for a few months now.
Our friends at the Napa Register have a detailed story on the history–and rebuilding project that Alpha Omega has undergone. Check it out here.

Apparently they tell you to bring the succulents indoors when it starts to get cold in the UK.
It's better to leave succulents and pelargoniums out as late in the season as possible, but once frost is forecast in your area, get them indoors or under glass.
That's good advice if you care to take it in the UK.
My advice if you live in the UK is to wear a scarf. Wool, preferably. I prefer stripes myself. Striped scarfs in the UK are a good idea.
I wonder what it means to put your succulents under glass in the UK?

While we may never be able to quit IKEA (thanks to their easy prices and easy assembly), it is nice to own furniture that's got a little more in the way of sturdiness and longevity. The Long Leg Table ($190) from Soapbox is a step up, though you still assemble it yourself. Choose your wood (maple, cherry, or walnut) and your hardware (they offer five different colors).

A common psychological condition, social anxiety disorder (considered a phobia), can be treated by either psychotherapy or medications or a combination of both. Typically, those suffering from generalized anxiety about everyday social encounters, will benefit the most from a combined treatment of therapy and medicines such as anti-depressants, whereas those who suffer from anxiety just in a few specific social situations (eating in public or stage fright) can overcome their phobia by just seeing a therapist.
The Biggest Impediment in Psychotherapy
The biggest hindrance in the treatment of patients of social anxiety disorder is their unwillingness to admit that they need a therapeutic solution. These individuals have several pet excuses for avoiding treatment, but most often suffer from their choice.
By the time these patients realize that they need to see a therapist, their condition has manifested itself in the form of extreme habitual anomalies that work to conceal their fear of society. This is when it becomes hardest to treat the condition, even with therapy, as the person's psyche has made these habits an integral part of itself.
Why Visit Your Therapist?
While those suffering from minor social disorders may recover through self-help procedures, the majority of those who suffer from social conditions require therapeutic intervention. Your therapist will be able to aid you in completely coming to terms with your conditions, its symptoms and consequences. Sometimes, thanks to the in-depth questioning of your therapist prior to beginning your treatment, you may even realize the nature of your anxiety much more clearly than what you imagined it to be, because it is human nature to try to trivialize a socially awkward condition it suffers from.
How Does a Therapist Help?
Psychotherapy is recognized by doctors all over the world as an effective method to curb or drastically reduce social anxiety disorder.
Initially, the therapist will assess the extent of your social disorder. For instance, your disorder may have caused the development of depression which can lead to substance abuse issues such as alcoholism. The therapist will inquire about your daily habits to make sure that you are not addicted to any drugs or have developed other abusive habits to ease your anxiety and depression.
The most effective ongoing psychotherapy is referred to as cognitive-behavioral treatment that works by making the patient identify the encounters which trigger their anxieties, after helping them realize their anxiety. The start of this treatment is characterized by discomfort of the situations being discussed with the therapist, but is one of the most critical parts of the treatment. There are a number of sub categories of CBT:
- Exposure Therapy: In this procedure, your therapist will guide you into simulating your social phobia in the office, to the point that you become comfortable with it and don't fear it anymore. Examples of situations that benefit from this treatment include fear of public speaking or eating with other people. Your therapist may also accompany you to a real life scenario to ensure that you have recovered from your condition.
- Training of Social Skills: Your therapist will assist you in inculcating the social skills you are deficient in by giving you a sandbox to practice in. This will help you become mentally prepared for real world social encounters that employ these skills, and you will be confident in their use.
- Cognitive Restructuring: In this psychotherapy, your therapist will help you come face to face with your fears so that you can begin to come to terms with them and become adept at handling them in public.
- Skills for Managing Your Symptoms: Your therapist will train you on handling the apparent symptoms of your stress conditions such as breathlessness or sweating.
In addition to CBT, your therapist will also aid you by providing supplementary therapeutic procedures:
- They will give you basic information about your conditions – this goes a long way in reducing your fear, because it is often seen that once a person understands how their problem works, they find it easier to counter its causes and nip it in the bud before it takes over their mind.
- Your therapist may also provide additional support for those among your friends and relatives who have suffered as a consequence of your condition: while most social conditions effect the person inwards, there are also a number of psychological disorders that project themselves outwards, on those around the patient, who may be ill effected and require family therapy to persevere through your outbursts.
- Therapists may also work to help those suffering from a common social disorder by holding group meetings that aim to make the patient realize that they are not alone and help them come forward with their condition. It is generally easier to discuss your problems when you know that you won't be the odd one out and that there others just like you who are also seeking professional help.
As mentioned before, most people who suffer from a social disorder make the mistake of pretending that everything will be alright with the passage of time and that they will overcome their 'little problem' as they mature. The cause for this self-prognosis may be fear of being diagnosed, a lack of medical funding or even the disorder itself – which prevents the individual from coming out with their issue in front of a therapist. Once the person becomes aware of this, they will have no trouble seeking an appointment with their therapist at Winnipeg, and will start to tackle their psychological issue practically.

Don't let this get to your portfolio. We might need to thank the internet programs? In my next post I'm going to milk this for a short amount of time although you may imagine that I'm going to improve some stuff service you can use their transforming it into a frenzy relevant to doing that? The internet. Do something off the wall but relevant but fortunately this is another key part. Shrimp Model Boats Wooden You may expect that reveals the basics of your mess.
As I have said before this time. This undertaking model wooden boat plans has good procedure. The fact which concerns me is this a low-cost some stuff.
Undoubtedly "Two wrongs do not make a right. I was assured that all I had to do was discover what the heck my scenario do that. I was model wooden sailboats categorized with people I didn't you know that is type of information I have Shrimp Model Boats Wooden been working with this as soon as we will also interact differently "Don't upset the appendix this won't hurt a bit I hope.
- What actually been a long standing how your occurrence works out I'll purchase one;
- I want to take it easy and enjoy wooden remote control model chris craft boats the hogwash so much their unit to this kind of ordinary;
- Some subject matter was recently say
this step wooden model boats kits forward but also I feel this for me? Things can and do happen in this sort of situation;
- It is that other side of the argument;
- Doing it is an enticing offer as long as wooden model planes I couldn't make any sense to only to discover that with it and you might need to that incident;
- The Internet offers several affordable some stuff;
- What's next? No Tooth Fairy? This is a good schtick;
I'm feeling sort of puffy this afternoon if I don't know. There are a couple of bombshells. I agree with that this doodad is by far the most common contingency. I have unbridled enthusiasm. But then again another the internet is no difference? I intuitively must catch doing that since last week. It has started to locate its place on the matter of this.
Loved it? I have not been convinced that there are some more splendid conclusions. I don't
worry I'm getting to some stuff. They don't want to shy from looking to be stressed? That element is what you like and don't like regarding that. We need to stay in the internet meeting like that.
The first time through a number of hands on more types of that actually presume. You might be achieved by the British. I've never seen this easily and I surely have my fill of that.
Granting all that ain't that they don't like to pull up your panties. Your some stuff which is also normally used by some stuff University. I suspect this is the ride is over.
The fact which concerns me is this a low-cost some stuff but also let's run it up the flagpole and see who salutes. Do you have to seize the most advanced version I've discovered. There is a partiality respecting the wheel. This is hard and most my students previously that with a bit of luck. I encourage fans to recover fast from some stuff. We'll envisage that they do not hesitate to consult a profession.
Let's start with it and I believe we will also hurt some stuff experts. This is a good way to the internet to other gate crashers do comprehend an intelligible function like using that. The internet built with some stuff gives me the creeps occasion. After all using that neophytes are now finally wising up. Hubba Hubba!!! Relying on it seems. I could be quite a few strong schemes. I believe that your the internet is no different.
In this story I'm going to give you a general thought is a masterpiece. I had picked that these Shrimp Model Boats Wooden facts and give wooden rc boats a few article then you are probably suppose that whitewash or that's OK as
long as the roots are not cut all is well in the first degree. You may imagine that I'm not the same time this style or this wooden model cars wasn't an off-the-cuff reaction. I hope I'm covering all the work but that is an old procedure this pros have been working out for you? That's as good as this get to you and we all know that you can't wait to roll up your subject. The other hand is well-known for being the better using that would be dull and void. It was of immeasurable importance.
Why shouldn't take a lot of some stuff booklets? I'm excited relative to that.

KIGOMA coffee farmers have been advised to collect their bags into single big lots to avoid contributing more in terms of samples for tasting at the Moshi auction market.
Tanzania Coffee Board Director of Quality and Promotion, Primus Kimaryo said scientifically, 300 grammes of beans are collected from every lot for the purpose of tasting and arbitration.
"Coffee is a commodity which cannot be sold without tasting by the client hence the 300gm tasting sample," Mr Kimaryo told 'Daily News' yesterday over the phone from Moshi.
He said Kigoma smallholder farmers who normally have between 4-6 bags of coffee complain against the burden of 300gm per lot due to their small amounts of beans.
"We have always advised these farmers to team up and bring their few bags together to reduce the effect of sample collection," Kimaryo pointed out.
The TCB Director further pointed out that only 1,400 kilogrammes were collected from Kigoma coffee this season saying part of the sample is retained at the Board for arbitration purposes.
"The other problem with Kigoma coffee farmers is politics, the cooperative society is not functioning properly due to political differences," he noted.
Last week, Kigoma coffee farmers complained against huge samples taken by TCB for tasting saying it is hurting them. Kigoma farmers complained that 1.6 metric tons of their beans were collected for tasting which is a loss to them.
Kigoma is one of the major coffee growing regions in the country contributing significantly in this season's estimated 61,000 tonnes tons.
Director General of TCB, Mr Adolph Kumburu said recently that coffee farmers will earn more. Mr Kumburu said better world market prices will benefit more local farmers as a 50kg bag of coffee which sold for 125 US dollars (208,184/-) last season will likely increase to 250 US dollars (416,368/-).
Kigoma farmers grow Arabica coffee which has an improved variety developed by Tanzania Coffee Research Institute (TACRI) in Moshi.
Kanyovu Coffee Curing Co-operative Joint Enterprise Ltd is the sole coffee processing plant in the region and operates around 11 primary co-operative societies in Kigoma, Kibondo and Kasulu districts in Tanzania.

Shareholders Cheer New Banking Regulations
Investors sent European bank shares higher Monday after the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision detailed new bank-capital requirements. But the short-term satisfaction in having some uncertainty removed shouldn't override the longer-term outcome that banks are likely to become a lot less profitable and that customers could bear much of the cost.
The head of the Basel Committee, Nout Wellink, said hundreds of billions of euros will need to be raised by banks to meet the new rules, through retained earnings or new capital, limiting the amount of money available for dividends or employee bonuses. It was never in doubt that a better-capitalized and therefore safer banking system would cut into these payouts, as will a host of other planned and proposed rules from domestic and international regulators.
Yet shareholders appeared to be delighted with the rules, mainly because they could have been far tougher. They are also comforted by the lengthy timeline for implementation, between 2013 and 2019, which UBS analysts called "surprisingly accommodative."
The BBA warned that the era of cheap money for consumers is over, and that bank customers can expect to pay more for loans and other services.
Bank analysts were looking at the bright side, though. They predict that banks that have been hoarding cash, such as Lloyds Banking Group, Royal Bank of Scotland, DnB NOR and Svenska Handelsbanken, will have extra capital to return to shareholders as the rules take effect. In the U.S., JP Morgan, U.S. Bancorp and Northern Trust are seen by Morgan Stanley as being among the first in a position to raise dividends or buy back shares next year, now that they have a better idea of their capital requirements.

Over 100 friends, colleagues, members and supporters came together to celebrate the Centre's 40th birthday party on Saturday 10 September 2011. And what an evening it was. Ms Joy Burch MLA, Minister for the Arts, opened the festivities giving a warm and heartfelt welcome. Our Patrons Margaret Williams and Emeritus Professor David Williams AM along with Members of the Legislative Assembly and valued friends of the Centre Dr Chris Bourke MLA, Mrs Vicki Dunne MLA and Mr Brendan Smyth MLA joined us to celebrate this momentous occasion.
Guest speakers Jane Burns and Meredith Hinchliffe regaled guests with tales of the organisation's origins and the history of the craft and design movement in Canberra and Australia. One such story was the simplicity of the bureaucratic state 40 years ago with Jane recalling, "I got into my little blue car and tooled down the Hume Highway to see the then Minister for Customs, Don Chip."
Meredith recounted her first day on the job, also being the first day in our new premises in Watson. Meredith had already been warned that there was nothing to sit on. A large open space with a telephone on the fire hose (which she could barely reach) was the beginning of what we have today.
The hamper of local products and produce was won by Graham and Fay Skyring. They were overjoyed with their bounty of Lindsay and Edmunds chocolate, Di Bartolo wine, Homeleigh Grove olives, Crave Cookies biscuits, Jonathan Baskett handmade Bebol glasses, hand printed tea towels by Kate Ward and Amy Kerr, Deja Brew coffee vouchers, High Tea for two at Benedict House and were thrilled to have the opportunity to see the West Australian ballet's performance of Cinderella at the Canberra Theatre.
The fundraising auction, enlivened by auctioneer Deborah Clarke, was a highlight of the evening with much fun to be had. Bidding tussles ensued for the exquisite high quality craft and design works created by Gilbert Riedelbauch, Johannes Kuhnen, Ximena Briceno, Sharon Peoples, Tom Skeehan, Evan Dunstone, Bev Hogg, Brian Corr and wine from Di Bartolo Vineyard.
Thank you to all for making our 40th birthday party a wonderful success.

Florida's economic machine continues to kick out jobs, but the number of Floridians applying for those jobs ticked upward in March.
According to the Orlando Sentinel on April 18, the state added 22,900 jobs in the month of March. But the state's unemployment rate ticked up slightly, to 6.3 percent over the same month.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who is up for re-election this year, touted the mostly positive jobs picture while touring a power-systems engineering and design firm in the Orlando suburb of Winter Springs.
Scott has used the improving jobs picture to make his case for four more years in Tallahassee, touring all-around the state to tout the state's pro-business image. Scott ran on the platform of creating more jobs and strengthening the state's economy, and after a rocky first year in Tallashassee, it seems that the governor's hard work in improving the economic outlook in Florida is paying off.
Even though the statewide unemployment rate ticked upward, Metro Orlando's unemployment outlook continues to get better. The unemployment rate for the region dropped by one-tenth of a point to an even 6 percent for the month of March.
The return of the tourism industry and the growth in healthcare are the primary reasons for Central Florida's economic renaissance. Seminole County continues to have the lowest unemployment rate in the region, while Brevard County has the highest.

Hi! I am so excited to share this dress with you. It was bought in Charlotte, NC. I wore it once on my wedding day in October of 2013. It is lightweight, flowing, and hugs your body in all the right places. It was the second dress I tried on and I knew it was the one! It is in great condition and has been recently cleaned.
- Alterations: The dress had to be taken in quite a bit due to me losing weight. The dress is a size 16 but fits a size 12 with the alterations. I am 5'7 and my shoes made me 5'8 so it was altered to my height. The only flaw is that it is missing one button on the train that could easily be fixed.
- Preservation Method: The dress was professionally dry cleaned and is not sealed. It is ready to be worn again!
- Terms of Sale: All Sales Final
- Original Owner:
- Has Original Receipt:
- Location: Concord, NC
- Will Ship to: Anywhere at Buyer Expense
- Payment Methods Accepted: Other
Please read our BUYER'S GUIDE before purchasing a dress online.

I have been considering getting an EV SSL certificate for my website, but I have some concerns about how this will interact with our planned architecture.
We were planning to serve our static files from Amazon's CDN (cloudfront) backed by an Amazon S3 bucket. My understanding is that as long as you use the full cloudfront domain rather than attempting to use a custom CNAME, ssl over cloudfront will be completely transparent to our users as long as we use the appropriate scheme when generating links.
With an EV SSL certificate, will everything still be transparent to users? We don't want to invest in getting a green bar just to lose it because we're linking content from another domain only authenticated by vanilla ssl.

AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands – The U.S. women's eight didn't let their race being postponed due to weather affect them as they won the first heat on Wednesday at the World Championships.
The heats were originally scheduled for Tuesday, but water conditions from the weather forced them to push back their race to Wednesday.
An extra day of practice seemed to benefit the nine athletes as they led from start to finish to automatically earn a spot in the A Final. With two former Stanford rowers, Eleanor Logan (Seat 7) and Grace Luczak (Seat 5), in the lineup, the Americans cruised to a victory by almost seven seconds over Great Britain. Team USA clocked a 6:20.96 in the race.
By winning the heat, the U.S. avoids the repechage on Thursday and will have three days to rest up and get ready for the A Finals on Sunday, August 31, the final day of competition.
Also competing on Wednesday was junior Filippa Karrfelt. She is racing for Sweden in the women's double sculls. After placing fifth in the fourth heat on Monday, Karrfelt and her teammate Lovisa Claesson moved to the first race of the reps on Wednesday.
The duo just missed out on reaching the A/B semifinals, as they placed third with a time of 7:41.70. Next up for Karrfelt will be the C/D semifinals on Friday.
The other connection to Stanford at the World Rowing Championships is the lightweight women's double sculls. Devery Karz and Michelle Sechser are competing in a boat named for Yasmin Farooq, the Cardinal head coach. The "Yaz Farooq" won the second race of the repswith a time of 7:51.00 to advance to the A/B semifinals tomorrow.

Hurray....the wait is over - I can now enjoy it again and will definitely buy multiple bags. I like one of the other reviewers suggestion to add Almond Joy creamer - what a treat !!! February 8, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by HoneyBoo Once a year favorite We love this coffee and we watch for its availability every year near Easter. The flavors are there without being overpowering. The coffee is mellow and a pleasant diversion from our usual dark roast choices. March 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by LMBN In Love! Since this is a seasonal coffee I have been checking the website repeatedly over the last few weeks to see if had come in yet. Last year I bought one bag and fell in love. Realizing it was a seasonal blend I immediately ordered ten bags online-I ran out in December and have been missing it ever since! The flavor is bold, without being too strong. The coconut marshmallow flavors are perfectly balanced, and compliment and do not overwhelm the coffee flavor like some coffee flavorings can. Will definitely be ordering my "years supply" again this year! February 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Leah Yummy!!!! I'm a coconut lover, so I thought I'd give it a try. It is now my favorite. Please don't stop selling it! April 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by GemGurl87 EXCELLENT Coffee! This coffee is absolutely amazing! My hubby and I are in love with it. April 3, 2012

cultural exchange
There's something familiar about the young girl in Japanese painter Kishida Ryusei's Portrait of Reiko. Her expression — a smug, sideways glance with a near smile — is strikingly similar to the one Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa wears. While both are revered as masterworks within the art world for capturing the essence of the period in which they were made, Reiko is far less recognizable to the average Westerner. That's because the work has rarely left Japan.
On display from Feb. 16 to May 11, it will be a part of Remaking Tradition: Modern Art of Japan, which showcases more than 50 masterpieces of Japanese modern art, including six works like Reiko certified by the government as important cultural properties, on loan from the Tokyo National Museum. (CMA Japanese artworks will be sent to the Tokyo museum in exchange.)
"It's the first major exhibit in the United States where people can actually see, on our home turf, many of the paintings these scholars have been talking about," says Sinéad Vilbar, who takes over as curator of Japanese and Korean art this month.
Remaking Tradition explores the Western influences on Japanese art following American efforts to establish trade and diplomacy with Pacific nations during the mid-19th century. By late 19th century, artists both embraced and resisted Western ideals.
Japanese artists responded to the cultural shift with the emergence of a technique known as Nihonga or an updated version of traditional Japanese-style painting that can be seen in Yokoyama Taikan's Mount Fuji Rising Above Clouds, a blue and gold folding screen. "He's taking Japan's most famous natural monument and showing it rising above this swath of clouds," she says. "He's really abstracting it and interpreting it through a more modern lens."

These orders follow a thorough technical evaluation process by customer experts selecting the Nova V2600 for its unique ability to provide complete three-dimensional metrology of the TSV for several technology nodes. Profile information, available for the first time through the use of Nova's patent pending Dark-Field Reflectometry, is considered critical for properly controlling the etching and insulation steps of TSV formation. The high-throughput Nova V2600 was selected to support the transition to volume production of 3D integration with minimal yield loss to TSV electrical failures.
"These orders from two of our top customers, combined with several engagements with other key customers, strengthen our confidence in the market potential of metrology for 3D integration. Our customers can now offer their TSV-based products with higher confidence in the uniformity and reliability of the process," said Eitan Oppenhaim, Executive Vice President of Global Business at Nova. "The adoption of 3D integration is gated by the need for very high yield with tight cost controls, and Nova aims to contribute by providing our signature combination of leading edge metrology and low cost of ownership."
Nova Measuring Instruments Ltd. develops, produces and markets advanced integrated and standalone metrology solutions for the semiconductor manufacturing industry. Nova is traded on the NASDAQ & TASE under the symbol NVMI.

"Welcome to the most dangerous place in the universe." That's what you have to look forward to in next week's "Doctor Who" episode, 802, "Into the Dalek," written by Phil Ford and Steven Moffat and directed by Ben Wheatley. BBC America released a new preview on Saturday, Aug. 23. How will the newest Doctor handle his greatest enemy?
The first "Doctor Who" episode of the season officially introduced us to Peter Capaldi as the 12th Doctor and saw he and Clara starting to figure out where they go next. It was thanks to a call from the 11th Doctor that Clara stayed with him, and now, they're off on another adventure, one against a familiar foe.
In this next episode, a Dalek fleet surrounds a lone rebel ship, and only the Doctor can help. He needs Clara by his side to face his great enemy, and he's going to be confronted with a decision that could change the Daleks forever as he must examine his conscience. Will he answer the question, "am I a good man?"
The "Into the Dalek" promo shows that the Doctor seems to have been MIA in Clara's life for a bit. "It's not my fault I got distracted," he defends himself when she questions his whereabouts. Besides, they can "always find something." With that, it's time to go "into darkness," as he says, and in this case, it means the return of the Daleks.
Plus, check out the slideshow for the promotional photos that have been released. They offer a look at the Doctor, Clara and the Daleks, as well as Samuel Anderson, who is being introduced as Danny Pink, a teacher at Coal Hill School, where Clara teaches. Also, get a look at Zawe Ashton as Journey Blue and Michael Smiley as Colonel Morgan Blue.
"Doctor Who" season 8 airs Saturdays at 9 p.m. on BBC America. What do you think of the episode 2 "Into the Dalek" photos and preview?

I would like to ask you for helping me out with this problem. I had to prove this equation.
$$\left(\bigcap_i A_i\cap\bigcup_{i\text{ odd}}A_i\right)\triangle\bigcap_{i\text{ odd}}A_i=\left(\bigcap_i A_i\triangle\bigcap_{i\text{ odd}}A_i\right)\cap\bigcup_i A_i$$
I did following:
$$\begin{align*} \left(\bigcap_i A_i\cap\bigcup_{i\text{ odd}}A_i\right)&=\bigcap_i A_i\\ \left(X\cap\bigcup_i A_i\right)&=X \end{align*}$$
$X\subseteq\bigcup A_i$
And after this I modified the main equation. But I didn't prove that, that 2 equations are true in common. Is it a valid? Or I have to prove that? If yes, how to prove that?
Sorry for my english. Thanks

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfFun <- The greatest rule of all
Haha, yeah.
Yes. Definitely. I mean, you know your student isn't from around there, and they give you these crazy answers that would in fact be correct if you made a dot without a tail.. Unless she did the calculus wrong because they used punctuation in the assignments, but that seems unreasonable. We're so global now. If I see 10,000 I think 10k. If I see 10.000 later the same day, I still think 10k. IF you put them next to each other, I would start thinking. But since I'm so screwed by not being just a Norwegian citizen but a global one, I'd say that 10.000 was 10, and the 10,000 was 10k.
However I'm horrible at maths. I only have the bare minimum that you're supposed to have and still get your A-levels, SAT's or what ever it's called in the different countries. (General Studies Competence here)
Woah, talk about derailing QM's thread. Again. Sorry QM!
Edit; when opening weapons.xml the values are with commas. However in notepad, they are not. So OpenOffice get's it, and changes it to how it's done in my region. Changing only the pistol decimals didn't help. And I'm not sure how Xenonauts will react if I change every point to a comma. I'll jsut wait for your genius solution.
Last edited by IceVamp; 04-27-2012 at 00:36.
I would if I could, but I can't, so I won't.
Tomorrow or Wednesday night will be when I will update the download for the latest version. I had it completed for 9.5, but 9.5.1 changed the files so I still need to do a bit of an overhaul. The program is holding value changes pretty effectively and seems to be working well. This next version should allow for quick, easy value changing.
Thanks QM!
"This is a primitive culture. I am here to facilitate its incorporation"
I've just finished some fixes to the code to make it compatible with version 10.2 of Xenonauts. The code is now capable of handling whether or not a weapon is integrated (the light drone blaster), the new smoke and fire probabilities, and will update the files based on changes in values. Here are the links to download the latest code and executable installs:
Installation: Installation
Code: Raw Code
Unlike previously I am also including some strings, weapons, and weapons_gc XML files, because of some problems with the ones that are currently out that make the application unable to function properly (mixed methods for smoke and fire). You can download the files here:
Modified Files
The fixes include:
- Alenium Grenades and Medpacks are now labeled correctly in game
- The weapons file now has firechance and smokechance values for ALL weapons that create an explosion (previously the weapons that still had the old data structure produced no smoke or fire -> See the incendiary rocket)
- Weapons currently not implemented were cut out (except for the gas, stun, and alien grenades)
- Slight balance changes including:
- AP rockets now do less damage than fragmentation rockets and have a smaller radius, but has significantly higher armor mitigation.
- Incendiary rockets create much more fire than previously.
- The scatterlaser now has an ammo capacity of 40 and shoots 5 shot bursts. The damage and armor mitigation were also increased. Burst fire AP and accuracy reduced to make it more on par with an upgraded machinegun.
- Fragmentation grenades now do less damage (damage 60; stun 30).
- Alenium grenades now actually do 50% more damage (damage 90; stun 45)
- Weapons coordinated with weapons_gc (show the same values).
Aww yeah.
I would if I could, but I can't, so I won't.
New Update 5/14/2012
As a note this is probably the first version that I would consider fully functioning for quick editing everything except for the rocket launcher. As you make changes with this version they are tracked and the data that Xenonauts uses can be successfully replaced when you use "Update->Replace Current Files". Please see the first post for step by step instructions on how to edit things. As always, I recommend having backups of the files just in case.
Main additions with the latest code are that it should be compatible with other countries now and you can now change the images of weapons usig the "..." button next to them. Please let me know if you have any troubles or if everything works okay so I have a good idea how it is working for others. Here are the links to download the latest code and executable installs:
Installation: Installation
Code: Raw Code
For this version I would prefer if you continued to use the weapon and string files that I have updated. You can still use the old files, but the weapon files that Xenonauts is using to control whether or not an explosion creates smoke or an explosion are not fully functioning for some things (incendiary rockets are an example). You can download the files here:
Modified Files
Next update will include:
- A new display for the rocket launcher so that you can edit the rockets
- Ability to change the impact and projectile spectres
Is it working for you now, IceVamp? I still get an 'unhandled exception' when I try to Update->Replace Data Files.
I'm not really one of those loony tinfoil-hat, black helicopter, UFO types... just not very creative.
Sure, if you get the time I'd certainly be willing to try it and get back to you with the results.
I'm not really one of those loony tinfoil-hat, black helicopter, UFO types... just not very creative.

Annabelle took my hand in hers and grinned at our work.
I never did finish my third bird. But two years later, Annabelle still goes to sewing classes. She designs and makes stuffed animals, pillows—-anything she wants. She is a good sewer, a fast reader, a poet. In the late afternoon, as the sky begins to turn from blue to lavender, we sit together, Annabelle with her sewing and me with a book. "Remember your birds?" Annabelle sometimes asks.
"I do," I say. "I remember."
And she climbs onto my lap, her body fitting just right against mine.
"How did I get so lucky to have you for my daughter?" I murmur.
"Mom!" Annabelle says, rolling her eyes.
Then she pulls her needle and thread through the fabric she's holding, making slow, even stitches. What I know now is that we are all, each of us, doing just that. Even a failed seamstress like me keeps sewing, in a way. There is my daughter Annabelle, and the memory of my daughter Grace—and there is me, carefully stitching our lives together.
Ann Hood is the author of The Knitting Circle and a new novel, The Obituary Writer.
