It had been a year since Chihiro was freed from the world of spirits. She now lived at the country side of her blue home, not far off from the enterence of the old amusement park. She sat beside her sleepig mat on the floor, her brown eyes looking out the window of the clear sky. It was a calm morning. A few white birds flew from the trees as their new pet dog, a medium sized white dog that loved to chase things around, ran into a tree after a squirrel. How long has it been since she left that place? Since she left all her friends there at the bath house. She sighed and played with a rock on the window sil.
"Chihiro. Dinner's ready!" Her mother called down the hall. "Coming." She called back, walking barefoot out of her room. She fixed up her greenshirt with a white stripe, and her red shorts. She comed her hair and ut it in a ponytail and sat down in the dining room. There was food set on the table as she sat down on her little pillow. The food was a varaity of stuff: pork, vegetables, fruit, and other assortments. When her mom and dad sit down, they say their blessings and begin to eat.
"Chihiro, you havent talked much lately. Has some of the kids at school given you trouble?" Mom asked, after a small mouthful of food. "No, just thinking about the time at the old amusement park when we first moved here." She answered.
"That was a year ago, what was so important there?" Her father asked after a big bite of pork. "Nothing, just reminds me of something, from our old home. The Kohaku River, actually." Chihiro said, taking her own bite. "Yeah, a real shame it was filled for more city space. What made you think of that?" Mother asked, interested.
"Oh, nothing really. Just someone I met there."
Morning came and she walked down the old dirt road to town to buy some groceries. Along its side was a small river that intertwined back and forth across the road like that of a blue and brown serpent dancing. Hills rose on each side, until at the far end the river oepned up and disapeared back around the hill and into a lake, which was fed by another, larger river. The river didnt have a name, being of not much importance. "I think I'll name this River the new Kuhaku River." She said one day, as she moved her finger over the surface.
She stopped walking for a moment as a brief wind pushed her hair in front of her face. She stood there for a moment, looking forward. She slowly turned around, but nothing was there. ~It was just the wind.~ she concluded, as she continued to walk down the road.
Fish thrived in the winding river, it was clear water, so clear that if it wasn't for the blue tint it gave the ground below, you could not see it. For a narrow river, it was still about three feet deep and four feet wide straight through, banking and rising every now and again as rocks protected the dirt underneath.
She soon was in town, heading to the Herb and food store to collect ingredients for the next week or so. She greeted the old lady who owned the shop. "Good morning, Chihiro! Come to collect a few herbs? Or, perhaps some seasoning?"
"I came for food, and... Do you have any of those Spirit herbs left?" Chihiro asked. The old lady seemed to smile at that. "Yes, Herbs to bring good wishes for spirits, and to bring some to a new home. I have about three left until I can get more." She said, going to the back of the store. She came back a few minutes later and set a flower on the counter.
The flower was as white as snow It had a powdery substance on the inside, and seemed to glitter with silver. the stem was also just as white and held the same powder film over it. She touched it, and it felt like silk, but was living.
"For my favorite little customer, I'll half the price on this rare flower. All i need is about thirty yen, which isn't much I can tell you for this flower, hard to come by these days." the old lady said. Chihiro frowned, thirty yen was a lot of her allowence, but it was worth it. She set the currency onto the counter and gently picked up the flower.
"May I ask, what you need this flower for?" The old woman asked. "For that nameless river on our side of town. I gave it the Name Kuhaku River." Chihiro said cheery.
"Oh yes, the young river dragon spirit. Well, all you have to do is rest the flower in the water at the mouth of the river, and let it flow to the other end. It will call for a spirit. Call the spirit's name three times and throw the element of their home into the air over your head. If you do well, Kuhaku will find a new home at last." The old lady explained. Chihiro bowed her head in respect before running out of the store.
She ran to the road and river with her bag of food and the spirit flower cupped in her hands. She climbed up the hill and looked at the vast lake in front of her. It was a large blue lake, and it emptied down the New Kuhaku River. She walked down the hill and stood at the mouth of the river.
"Time to make it official." She whispered, and set the flower into the water. Despite the slow moving current, the flower stayed in place, bobbing on the surface. She cupped water into her hands and stood. She took a deep breath and yelled out to the sky. "Kuharu River, Kuharu River, Kuharu River!" She threw the water into the air, and let it fall back down and splash against her face.
The white flower's silver powder began to sink into the water, and it let the current take it down the river. The powder spread out across the water and vanish into its soil. She watched as it disapeared around the hill. The river widened on the other end. The river was steeper and faster there, the water being several feet deep.
She waited for a few minutes, the wind brushing against her. The river didn't look any different. ~Must give it time.~ She thought, before walking back home.
Night came, and she rested on her mat. Her dog asleep next to her, curled up in a ball. It was a cool night, and she had her window open to let the brease sweep in.
Suddenly, a gust of wind brushed her face, waking her up. She sat upright and rubbed her eyes to clear off the crust. Looking around, she saw nothing. Walking to the window, she felt something tugging her heart toward where the river was. The wind blew again, this time trying to pull her outside instead of in. Without thinking whether she should or not, she climbed out of the window and walked toward the river.
Everytime she stopped to look around, the wind blew her forward, until she came to the river and road. She looked at it, before the wind pushed her to the right. She looked, and saw the river going out into the woods behind the hill. Chihiro crossed her arms to her chest and walked next to the flowing clear river.
She stopped and staired at the fast moving water. It seemed to be calling to her. She leaned forward, eyes transfixed on the clear water. A sudden gust of wind brushed behind her, and she fell in.
She swam back up to the surface, now aware of her actions. The water kept her in the center, away from shore and moving quickly down the fast moving water. She struggled to stay afloat, trying to break for the shore, only to be pulled back by the current.
The world around her seemed to turn brighter, until she had to close her eyes to the light. She opened them again to see she was still in the forest, but the water seemed to flow faster and faster.
Before she realised it, she was falling over a waterfall.
She spread her arms out, facing the ground. The wind pressed strongly against her fall. Fear came up into her chest. Was this it? What was going on? There were no giant cliffs near her home. yet she could see downward for miles.
Suddenly, the water behind her seemed to take a shape. It formed under her as a mist. Suddenly, she found herself being lifted up.
In a matter of seconds, a White eastern dragon appeared below her, stopping her fall as it fell down with her.
The Dragon had white fur along its elongated body. It had eagle like claws and legs. Its pink nose and long flowing whiskers in front of its green eyes and golden brown horns. The turquoise mane along its body, and the silver belly scales. It rose away from the waterfall and rising back into the air, out of their fall, with Chihiro rising behind its horns.
Chihiro couldn't speak from the suprise. Could it be? Was it really...? Tears welled up in her eyes, and she hugged the large furry neck. "Haku! You're here! How?" She asked, yelling over the blowing wind. In an answer, Haku pressed the tip of his whisker to her forhead, and images began to flash in her mind.
She saw Haku wandering aimlessly, stuck at the world of spirits. Then the sound of his name could be heard three times,. He walked toward the sound, and found himself in an intertwining river. It felt like a new home to him. He then could feel Chihiro close by, and drew her to where he was.
~hang on~ she heard in her head. She grasped onto the horns, and Haku dove into a virtical dive. Wind wipped at her face, and she slipped off hsi back, until the only part of her holding onto haku was her hands on his horns. It was a free fall.
She closed her eyes, letting the feeling of weightlessness take over. It lasted several minutes, before it suddenly changed and she fell back onto haku's neck. Opening her eyes, they were in the back yard of her home. How could that have been? They were falling downward from a cliff, a cliff that was nowhere to be seen? Maybe this was the work of haku. After all, he was a river spirit.
Chihiro climbed down and walked in front of Haku. his body suddenly began to desintigrate. Within seconds, a young boy was in the place of the dragon.
"Chihiro, Thanks. First, you set me free back at the spirit world by helping me remember my name. Now you have given me a new home. I will never forget it." He said in his calm voice. Before Chihiro could say anything, Haku kissed her cheek, and she fell asleep right where she stood.
She woke soon after, to find that it was morning. She ran to the window and looked outside. It was yet another clear day. She looked around to see her dog once again running in the yard.
Her hand brushed against something. She looked down, and saw a white scale. She picked it up. The scale was soft, with soft short fur growing off of it. She set it back down on the window sil, and walked out of her room.

I love this. If there can't be any great visual art of these two and their world, at least there is this lovely fanfiction. The style reflects Studio Ghibli's, simple, creative, and somehow touches your heart.
Nice A nice short, cute story. Could you write more..?
I'd just like to point out that thirty yen would be about thirty cents in American dollars...the yen is equivalent to one cent, so if you were trying to make the price of the flower around $30 it would be 300 yen. Just so you know...
I would really like they make Spirited Away 2. It's awesome! This chapter could really serve as the beginning!

There used to be a checkbox when I import pictures from my camera that said "delete after import" or something like that. It's not there anymore. Any ideas?
If the media is write protected, or if the device is not providing full USB drive functionality, then deletion would not be possible and so might not be offered.
Its an update to Image Capture. If Apple detects you use iCloud (which everyone does) it disables delete after import, as this would not require you to keep the storage on your phone and iCloud backup, and they would miss out on money. So basically Apple removed the option.
You can tell when the program starts the option shows, then a split second later, when the iCloud icon shows up next to the device, magically the delete after import option is gone.

"Transformers: Age of Extinction" begins its theatrical run in conventional, 3D, and IMAX theaters starting today.
The first three "Transformers" films directed by Michael Bay made nearly $2.7 billion in its worldwide box office. The franchise is a serious cash cow for Paramount Pictures because for whatever reason people love these bastardized versions of these beloved characters. Despite Mark Wahlberg replacing Shia LaBeouf as the lead in "Transformers: Age of Extinction," this bloated, overpriced, mentally challenged excuse of a fourth film is more of the same from the Los Angeles born director and yet it feels like it's pouring an entire truck load of salt into a mortal wound.
It's a shame that nobody is able to be the saving grace of nearly three hours of absolute mind-numbing torture. In fact, there isn't really anything that sets "Age of Extinction" apart from the first three films. Stanley Tucci is decent playing a billionaire who feels like he doesn't owe anyone anything. Tucci portrays Joshua Joyce, who is Tony Stark without all the charm or witty one-liners. Tucci's crowning achievement comes when his people are trying to rebuild Optimus Prime, but end up building Galvatron instead. He sets off on this ridiculous tirade beginning with, "Algorithms!" and "Math!"
John Goodman is as entertaining as he can be as Hound. His eagerness to fight and nimble yet graceful movements on his feet are only complimented by his machismo demeanor. It would've been nice if Ken Watanabe's samurai Autobot Drift had a bit more screen time and John DiMaggio's Crosshairs is essentially the Autobot version of Starscream since he's constantly eyeing the leader position. Nevertheless, it is somewhat comforting to hear Frank Welker as Megatron/Galvatron again even if it took this long to get him there.
The supporting cast slowly begins rolling in and you realize you're in for three of the longest hours of your life. T.J. Miller's Lucas Flannery is unbearable as the surfer doofus partner to Cade Yeager's (Mark Wahlberg) inventions and his pit stains. If Lucas doesn't get to you, all of the drama between Cade and his daughter Tessa (Nicola Peltz) will. The first half hour or so of the film is devoted to Cade and Tessa arguing about inventions, graduation, and dating.
Consider walking out when James Savoy (Titus Welliver) and his crew shows up. James is a CIA agent that works for Harold Attinger (Kelsey Grammer), who wants to rid the world of Transformers regardless of their intentions. James also thinks he wears bigger britches than he actually does. When he raids Cade's farm, Cade naturally says he can't without a warrant. James replies, "My face is my warrant!" This is after an entire sequence where a missile hidden inside Optimus shoots out and bounces around Cade's house, which has Tessa running around in a tizzy for five minutes straight.
Mark Wahlberg and Optimus Prime are essentially soul mates ten minutes after they meet. The Shane Dyson (Jack Reynor) character is a character completely devoted to racing and banging Cade's daughter. He's a complete coward who does nothing but think about himself and yet Cade gives him the stamp of approval because they share a few apocalyptic moments together. A new element is discovered that can be turned into anything the human brain can conjure up. Naturally "top scientists" decide to call it "transformium." Jesus, if only that was a joke.
A Transformer bounty hunter named Lockdown (Mark Ryan) is hunting down Autobots. He's constantly referencing their creators, who traveled from planet to planet in their giant snail shaped (with ground effects) spaceships that shot their explosive seeds all over the planet to wipe out all of its life forms since mixing dinosaurs with robots is just silly. What's that? You're eager to see the Dinobots? Hopefully you're willing to sit through two hours of incoherent crap before that even happens including Wahlberg stumbling through really messy parkour and trumping a top CIA agent with a freaking football in a fist fight.
"Transformers: Age of Extinction" oversimplifies and stupefies what was already a dumbed down formula for a successful summer action blockbuster. The script is flat out idiotic at times as characters argue over semantics with each other and say the lamest things imaginable. The action is just a constant barrage of flip-flopping between everything exploding, slow-motion mayhem, and over complicated Transformer battles that you can't make heads or tails of.
All sparks flicker and die eventually. "Transformers: Age of Extinction" symbolizes a dying star and a fallen breed. Michael Bay has created a tombstone for what used to be recognized as the summer blockbuster.

The average price of a movie ticket in New York City is $15, with an IMAX 3D title going as high as $21.50 a person. Add in the ridiculously overpriced (and bad for you) food and drinks (though Manhattan-ites, at least, are often spared the cost of parking, what with not actually owning cars), and a family of four is looking at a tab of $100+ for a few hours of fun.
Not very frugal.
But, as any parent will tell you, the price of a kiddie movie only starts with the cost of an admission tickets. The real punch to the pocket-book comes later, when the kids are begging you for the tie-in toys, the tie-in bedding, the tie-in food and the tie-in books so they can relive the experience over and over again.
While the NY Frugal Family Examiner would never tell parents how to discipline their children, when to give in to their pleading and when to draw the line and point out that no one ever died from the lack of an action figure, we will note that, when it comes to deciding which merchandise to purchase, books make the most frugal - and educational - sense. Not only are they cheaper than the toys and longer lasting than the food, they are also a way to keep your child from suffering summer brain drain by engaging them with books they're actually interested in.
To that end, if your boy or girl was a fan of this winter's hit, "The Lego Movie," know that, in conjunction with the inevitable DVD coming out on June 17, DK is also releasing four titles, including "The LEGO® Movie: The Essential Guide," The LEGO® Movie: The Ultimate Sticker Collection," "The LEGO® Movie: Calling All Builders (Level 1 Reader)," and "The LEGO® Movie: Awesome Adventures (Level 2 Reader)."
When given the books to review, NY Frugal Family's 10 year old "Lego Movie" fan reported that his favorite was "The Essential Guide," because it "Gave you more information about the characters. I learned that, in real life, the Wizard guy was the first actual Lego character to wear a sparkly cape."
While our 7 year old aficionado preferred "The Ultimate Sticker Collection," explaining that "It's fun to match the picture to the outline and learn extra about the superheroes and everybody else."
On the expert advice of our tween reviewers, and because the NY Frugal Family Examiner lives to help fellow New Yorkers save money, we are giving away a copy of both "The Essential Guide" and "The Ultimate Sticker Collection."
Just send an email to email@example.com with the subject line "Win LEGO Books" to be entered in a drawing to win.
Winner will be notified on Friday, June 27.
Good luck!
Looking for more unique summer reading books that won't prompt moans of "I'm bored?" Try "The Worldwide Dessert Contest: Enhanced Multimedia Edition" by Dan Elish. Not only does it feature action, adventure and roller-skating apple pies, it's also comes with its own original musical score by a Broadway vet that you can listen to as you read the story!

He is most recognizable from his performance as Carl "CJ" Johnson in the 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Still looking for a Mother's Day gift? We know the perfect place.
Thirty years ago, Katy Culp and Sonnie Swindle opened Bloomingsales, a full service florist located at 147 E. 800 South, Salt Lake City. Today, the shop is in Foothill Village with many other local stores. Along with flowers by the stem, bouquet or vase, they offer seasonal décor, jewelry and more.
"We're in the center of the village, which is a fabulous location," says Melissa Mecham, the store's manager. "It's a great place to be, because there's a lot of good shopping right here."
Tragically, Culp passed away from cancer several years ago. Swindle still runs the business.
Customers come from all over the Salt Lake Valley, and beyond. "We have a lot of clients who come in from Park City, a lot from Sandy, Holladay, North Salt Lake and Bountiful," Mecham says. "We also have a lot of people from out of town say 'If I'm in Salt Lake, I always stop in.'"
Mecham says the selection pulls customers in. "We have things you can't find in any of the big box stores," she says. "We provide complimentary gift wrapping and make it really easy so once you walk out of here, you not only have a gift, but you have it beautifully wrapped."
For Mother's Day, Mecham recommends a pair of comfortable sandles, a canvas hat and Chrysalis jewelry. You'll also find bath and body products and purses from Baggallini and Vera Bradley.
This summer, drop by to pick up décor for the Fourth of July, along with a portable oven for pizza and flatbread and plastic dishware for your next barbecue.
Of course, Bloomingsales still the perfect spot to buy Mom a bouquet of flowers.

Preserving commitment to long term care
Neal Kedzie - State Senator
Kedzie (
click for larger version
March 07, 2012 | 07:32 AM
Often times, as we grow older, we may not be able to physically do what we used to do. For many of our aging population, and those with physical and developmental disabilities, common activities such as personal care or simple home tasks are difficult to accomplish. While much of this needed help may come from family members, some comes from professional caregivers, which some may simply not be able to afford.
To address that concern, Wisconsin enacted a new long-term care system called Family Care back in 1998. Family Care was created to better serve frail older adults and adults with physical or developmental disabilities. Specifically, Family Care was designed to provide cost-effective, flexible, and comprehensive long-term care to foster individual independence and quality of life, while also recognizing the need for interdependence and support.
The program began in five counties in 1999 and has since grown to 57 counties. In addition to Family Care, Wisconsin's Medicaid program also includes traditional Medicaid, BadgerCare Plus, and SeniorCare. Since 1999, public assistance programs have greatly expanded, and in fact, one of every five Wisconsin residents is on some type of Medical Assistance. There are currently more than one million enrollees in the state's Medical Assistance programs, and the numbers continue to rise. Obviously, this expansion has a significant impact on the state's finances.
Over the last 20 years, the total population of Wisconsin has increased 16 percent, but Medicaid enrollment has jumped 156 percent. Medicaid pays for 45 percent of all births in the state and one out of every three children are now on Medicaid. With the number of residents on Medicaid skyrocketing, state government has been looking for ways to continue to fund the program as it expands. Medicaid expenditures totaled $7.5 billion in fiscal year 2010-11, up from $5 billion in fiscal year 2006-07. In addition, the end of federal stimulus funding partly explains the current fiscal crisis.

Federal funding for Medicaid was $1.33 billion less in 2011-13 than in 2009-11, and as a result, more general fund tax dollars are needed just to maintain current Medicaid funding. Even with the infusion of $1.2 billion of additional state funding provided in the current state budget, there needs to be a way to keep the program in balance with the anticipated revenue coming into the state, which has been lacking due to the slowdown in the state and national economy.
Wisconsin is not alone in this situation, as states all across the nation are dealing with a similar Medicaid shortfall. Recently, the Governor of Illinois announced his intent to cut $2.7 billion in Medicaid costs in order to help the state's deteriorating financial condition. That action could reduce services and types of care available for the state and federal program to provide health care to the poor.
Because of the current funding crisis for Medicaid in Wisconsin, a cap on enrollment in the Family Care program was enacted through June 30, 2013. The cap was necessary in order to fully fund those in the program while allowing the state Department of Health Services (DHS) the time it needed to find savings and efficiencies in the Family Care and other Medicaid programs.
Fortunately, those savings and efficiencies were found and the governor has since announced his intent to remove the cap on Family Care. However, because such removal requires legislative action, Senate Bill 380 was introduced. The bill removes the cap on enrollment in long-term care programs and also allows for the expansion of Family Care. The Senate passed SB 380 last month with unanimous support.
Family Care is a necessary and worthwhile program to help keep the elderly and those with disabilities in a more independent living situation and setting. As the state continues to find savings in the Medicaid program, the Legislature remains committed to helping citizens who truly are in need.

When Emily from Elizabeth Joan Designs spotted this darling child size Queen Anne style table and chairs at a friend's garage sale, she was smitten. But since she already had a child size table for her own kids, she couldn't justify the $20 price tag. Imagine her delight when later that evening she discovered her friend hadn't sold the set and it was waiting for curbside trash pickup!
Emily brought the table and chairs home, where she went to work sprucing them up. She spent several days sanding away the original, damaged finish. She created a custom stain using Rustoleum's Weathered Gray and Minwax Special Walnut. "The combination of these two stains worked perfectly!" Emily says happily. "It was exactly the look I going for, a warm distressed gray-ish color." She finished the table by applying four coats of Minwax Polycrylic to give the table and chairs a little shine and a lot of durability. The results are gorgeous!

Agricultural Futures Trying to Make Up for Lost Time
Howard Simons
Physical commodity markets can exhibit some pretty good one-off jumps to the upside whenever there are supply disruptions and demand surges.
If you need further evidence that it's the meaningless things in life that really mean everything, take the passion of sport fans and the always amazing story of how one Alcides Ghiggia of Uruguay broke the hearts of Brazil way back in 1950 in a way the country is digesting still. In 2009 Ghiggia
, "Only three people in history managed to silence the Maracana Stadium: Frank Sinatra, Pope John Paul II, and me."
I can relate; I have silenced more than one presentation audience by telling them that the long-term constant-dollar prices for nearly all physical commodities is lower and should be lower as higher prices would imply markets are not working. For example, the constant-dollar prices of corn and wheat have declined at average annual rates of 1.44% and 1.73%, respectively, since January 1947. The world's population essentially tripled over this period with the population of doomsayers and assorted loudmouths growing even faster. Obesity is considered as much of a global public health problem as undernourishment once was.
Where Active Beats Passive
I noted back in
January 2011
how the Barclay Hedge index of commodity trading advisors specializing in agricultural commodities beat the unmanaged Dow Jones-UBS agricultural index over a long period. It is kind of an unfair competition, really; the CTAs can take short and spread positions or be out of sideways markets while the DJ-UBS index has to keep rolling long positions forward. This unmanaged index is not to be confused with the
PowerShares Deutsche Bank Agriculture Fund
(NYSEARCA:DBA) based on the broader DBIQ Diversified Agriculture index.
The performance of the unmanaged DJ-UBS index slid further behind the CTA index in 2013; by the end of January 2014 its constant-dollar level was no higher than it was in August 1995. Just as finding the perfectly wrong trader is as valuable and just as difficult as finding the great trader, finding an investment this bad takes some work.
Quick Pop Before Inevitable Stop
Despite their long-term constant-dollar downtrends, physical commodity markets can and do exhibit some pretty good one-off jumps to the upside whenever there are supply disruptions -- such as the 2012 drought propelling grains higher for a few months -- and demand surges, such as the one that has been unfolding all winter long in natural gas. Some of the agricultural, livestock, and soft commodity markets appear to be in one of those short-term sweet spots right now. The aforementioned DBA has been on a tear as far as these markets go; since its January low, it has gained 10.28%. Hold your applause until you hear the second part of the description: That gain puts its one-year total return at a mere 0.76%. Its average annual return since the March 2009 low has been 1.52%. You have heard about stocks for the long haul? This is an ETF for the short haul; like airlines, you do not own commodities, you trade them.
As there will be no more new supply coming into the major agricultural markets now that the Southern Hemisphere growing season is near completion and we in the Northern Hemisphere are still in our winter wonderland, the gates are open for about two months of movement to the upside before more solid information on the Northern Hemisphere growing season emerges.
No positions in stocks mentioned.

My computer screen is ATVIO brand, but when I used another screen (Samsung) the OS works fine, can someone help me?
I managed to install the OS, but I can't see anything in my monitor since it says "not supported resolution"
I've had these problems before. What I had to do is that I connected a screen which was compatible, I lowered the resolution to 800x600, and then I connected my first screen.
I'm sure you could use other methods to solve the problem, such as entering the system through recovery mode and edit the resolution from there. You can do this by typing
You could also try another type of graphical connection (eg. HDMI/DVI instead of VGA).

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Lawns, Ground Cover, & Wildflowers
Lawns 101 (page 3 of 3)
by National Gardening Association Editors
The All-Important First Step
Nothing, repeat nothing, is more important to the successful growth of any plant than proper advance soil preparation. Skip this all-important first step, and you're asking for trouble. Abide by it, and you've taken a huge step in ensuring a thriving, easy-to-care-for lawn or garden.
Briefly stated, no matter what type of soil you find in your yard, from the sandiest sand to the heaviest clay, a liberal addition of organic matter works miracles. The organic matter can be anything form compost to well-rotted leaf mold, fine fir bark, or peat moss. Almost every area of the country lays claim to some indigenous, inexpensive organic material, readily available to homeowners for free, the material having been made from the leaves gathered by municipal crews in the fall.
The amount of organic matter you add should be equal to the depth that you intend to turn the soil. If you're preparing the soil to plant a lawn, whether from seed or sod, the minimum depth you should till is 6 inches; 8 or 12 is that much better. This may contradict some traditional advice, but experience has proved it to be very successful. If you intend to till the soil to a depth of 8 inches, then you should add 8 inches of organic material on top of the soil before you till to incorporate it to the full depth. This takes some doing, but it helps develop an extensive, healthy root system, resulting in a hardy, vigorous lawn that is able to withstand periods of drought and is more resistant to disease and pests.
Depending on the type of lawn you are planting and the characteristics of your native soil, you may want to add fertilizer and lime as you incorporate the organic matter. Explain your situation to your local nursery staff to find out if such additions are necessary.
After tilling the organic matter into the soil, rake the area smooth and sow the grass seed or roll out the sod. Keep the soil moist (but not wet) for a week or ten days. You'll be amazed at the growth the lawn puts on in such superior soil, even in the first year, not to mention its long-term vigor, in both good years and bad.

Bowman's Goal Leads UMass To Upset Over #4 UConn, 1-0
Sept. 11, 2010
Box Score | Photo Gallery | Buy Your Own Copy Of This Game: $9.99
AMHERST, Mass. - Lindsay Bowman scored the first goal of her career off a pass from fellow freshman Mika Black to lead UMass field hockey (2-3) to the upset victory over No. 4 UConn (3-1), 1-0, on Saturday afternoon at Garber Field. It is the Minutewomen's first victory over the Huskies since 2000, a span of 11 games. It is also the highest ranked opponent UMass has defeated in the Justine Sowry era, replacing last season's win over No. 9 Iowa.
UMass last defeated UConn on Sept. 30, 2000, 2-1, in Amherst. The Huskies had won the last 10 meetings.
The pair of freshmen teamed up to break the scoreless tie and give the Minutewomen the lead with 14:26 left in the first half. Black dribbled the ball into the top of the circle from the right and with the reverse stick put the ball in front of the goal where Bowman knocked the ball out of the air and into the top of the goal. It was the first career points for both rookies.
The duo of Bowman and Black helped lead Sowry's revamped lineup that saw three freshmen and two sophomores play all the minutes at forward.
The UMass defense was able to hold off a late UConn charge, with goalkeeper Alesha Widdall coming out of the goal to make a crucial save with 33 seconds left. The junior finished the game with six saves to earn her first shutout of the season and 15th of her career.
The Minutewomen controlled the play throughout the first half, outshooting the Huskies, 5-3, and holding them without a shot for the final 20 minutes of the half. Penalty corners were 3-0 in favor of UMass in the opening 35 minutes.
For the game, UConn held a slight edge in shots, 11-10, and UMass held the advantage in penalty corners, 6-4.
The Minutewomen travel to New Haven, Conn. on Sunday to take on Yale in a 3 p.m. contest.

In exploring an array of intimacies between strangers, this book reveals how human relationships, dignity, and collaborations are experienced among global migrants. Nayan Shah takes a novel approach by examining both the legal histories of hundreds of interracial marriages involving South Asians and the countless court cases documenting illicit sexual contact between South Asian men and white, Chinese, and Native American men. Shah illuminates a stunning, transient world of heterogeneous social relations. At the same time, he demonstrates how the United States and Canada, in collusion with each other, actively sought to exclude and dispossess nonwhite "races." Stranger Intimacyreveals the intersections between capitalism, the state's treatment of immigrants, sexual citizenship, and racism in the first half of the twentieth century.

Just by looking at the Palette Town front entrance sign you know you're entering a House of Fun. And that's exactly what Palette Town is, but instead of a house of fun it's an entire town (as the name indicates). Palette Town is split up into the following parts:
Taking up less than one tenth of the area of Odaiba, Palette Town offers much of the entertainment in one compact space.
Yes, appearances certainly can be deceiving. The Venus Fort gives new meaning to this old saying. Surely when you stand outside at the Mega Web entrance and take in the Venus Fort you'll automatically come to the logical conclusion based on its outward appearance. "It looks like an 80's beat up outlet mall" so therefore, "It must have tacky 80's fashions inside". And so why bother even going in as you know exactly what you'll find. But curiosity pulls you a little and you decide to give the benefit of the doubt and take a look. Once stepping inside at the Grand floor (second floor) you'll swear you just stepped into a portal.
No longer in Tokyo, you find yourself in a Hall during the Renaissance period in Rome, all of the inside shop's store fronts done in faux marble, terra cotta, limestone, hanging cast iron lanterns, faux marble floors, neatly trimmed potted trees. But it doesn't stop there, the entire ceiling is a sky mural which (thanks to the lighting system) turns seamlessly from morning sunrise, to day, to sunset and to night.
Aside from the stunning design, it of course offers an array of shops, from Lego to Ralph Lauren and many fine cafe's and restaurants.
The Toyota City Showcase is loaded with things to see and do, don't be surprised if you spend a couple hours in here alone.
The Toyota City Showcase experience begins in the core of the facility with the "Brand-New Zone". Most of the second floor is devoted to the several rows of new and unique vehicles. Here you can find some of them strictly for show only, for example the: Origami Kimono Car, or the Chinese New Years car. It's not a stretch to think that they might have had Pikachu and Sailormoon cars here in days long past.
Aside from the cute cars you'll find the next generation of sub-sub-compacts such as the super eco friendly 'IQ' sub-sub-compact, which goes for about $16,000 USD.
Also on the second floor is a corner dedicated to the current host of concept cars. But its more then concept cars, there are even 'personal vehicles', some of which look like a large executive high back chair with wheels. Others look like a mix between go-carts and formula-one race cars. You can also find the next generation of 'Back to the Future' style doors, with the new Toyota Fine-x, in which the entire side of the car lifts up, and the seat rotates and slides forward, putting you right outside the car.
For 300 yen you can pick out a car from the Toyota line-up (sorry, no concept cars, or Pikachu mobiles are available) and take it for a spin on their obstacle course. However, quite unfortunately you must posses a Japanese driver's license or an 'Internation Driver's License'
But fear not, if you really really want to ride one then Exploring Tokyo has you covered. Apply here for your International Driver's License:
For more info about Ride One: http://www.megaweb.gr.jp/index
The kids can also ride one, and the good news is they don't need a Japanese license either. These 'mini go cart hybrids' zip around a 150m circuit at a safe speed of 10mph. If you're an adult and you're hoping you can at least give these a go after being turned done at the Ride One for not having a Japanese License, I'm sorry because the only allow little ones to ride these. But there is hope yet, read on about the E-com Ride!
Too old to ride the Kids Hybrid and lacking documentation for the Ride One you can at last find success with the E-com Ride. For 200 yen you can hop inside this super sub compact electric car and go for a fun ride. The only catch however is it drives you, no don't drive it. Even so it is a fun experience as the track even goes through the Showroom, and then outside through the obstacle course.
An assortment of displays shedding light on the various aspects of Hybrid technology in the auto industry as well as other fields. Also you will find Toyota's full battery of Hybrid vehicles.
Taking up a corner on the ground floor is a handful of race cars, including a Formula One.
For no charge you can take a crack at the Racing Motorsports Simulator or the less exciting Safety Simulator which tests your reaction time.
Requiring its own building separate from the Mega Web because its so large, the History Garage houses scores of classic cars from the 50's to the 70's and offers charming shops and cafe's done in those time periods.
Ronnies Bar - 50's/60's style American diner, serving up pasta and curry, something every diner had on its menu in the 50's.
Toyota's creativity continues with the Universal Design Showcase, in which they seek to modernize and revolutionize the every day products of our lives, from spoons to vacuum cleaners.
The fun reaches its climax at Leisure Land. Being Japan's tallest Ferris wheel it sends you high into the air, for a fee of 900 yen. Aside from the ferris wheel, Leisure Land offers a full sized bowling alley, arcades and games as far as the eye can see, and of course standard amusement park snacks.
JR Shonan Shinjuku Line to Osaki. Transfer at Osaki to Rinkai Line. Take Rinkai Line to Tokyo Teleport Station. That puts you right in front of Palette Town.

Singer of the band Saosin, Anthony Green, has decided to leave the band to pursue his own interests.
The rest of the band will continue to make music together.
Yeah, it always sucks when the singer leaves. :wth: I'm not a big fan of them or whatnot, but I'll probably keep a look out to see what's up with them.
All that I know of now is:
Saosin is completely over with.
Alex, Beau, Justin, and Chris are getting a new name but continuing with the full length. As of now they are still doing Warped Tour.
Here is the official stuff from the site:
February 17, 2004
Dear Everyone,
We regret to inform everyone that Anthony Green has decided to leave the band to pursue his own interests. Thank you to everyone who has supported us, we will not forget you. We (Beau, Justin, Alex, and Chris) will continue making music together. Check back soon for updates.
"yeah, i am sad and sorry that it is not a joke. we were about to leave to the airport to pick up anthony, when we got a phone call from him saying that he wasnt coming out here, and that he decided to quit the band. we all thought it was a joke. but it is not and we are really bumbed. especially since we had been home for so long and me, justin, alex and chris were all talking about how excited we were to be on the road again and to see all of you. some of you for the first time and some of you again, as friends.
but we can not change the way people feel. from what i can gather, he feels like we dont like him because we have different personal intersts. and that the money was not enough to keep him afloat. i thought about trying to call him back and ask him to do the tours, but i think that it would be unfair to everyone, (you guys especially) to play shows when the singer does not want to be on stage.
the four of us have been passionate about making real music that we all feel very strongly about since the beginning.
the four of us, me, alex, justin and chris, will continue writing the full length as planned. once we get a new singer, we will get a new name, and put the record out and start touring our asses off!!!
we will be posting information on the new material and what the new name will be soon. so keep checking back.
once again, i cant thank you all enough for making this such a great experience for all of us. and i hope you are all back with us when we resurface in a few months.

Having spent most of the past four weeks observing the goings-on of my household from the living-room couch, I haven't focused very much on neatness and organization. Instead, I've had to settle for "reasonably sanitary" and "nowhere near my mom's standards." But we're getting by, I'm slowly healing, and soon I'll be back to my old self. While my house probably will never live up to my mom's standards, I look forward to the day when it will live up to mine.
Right now, though, I'm battling four people (OK, five people--I'm nearly as guilty as the rest of them) who put things down "for now" and never think about them again.
That's how there came to be a gun in my living room on the day Ten and his science-fair partner were putting their project together.
It's not a real gun; it's a BB gun that belongs to Twenty. He usually keeps it safely in his room, since he can't have BB guns in his college dorm. But it was recently used as a prop in the high school play, and when Sixteen brought it back home, she set it down on a shelf in the living room instead of returning it to the place where it belongs (insert exasperated motherly sigh here).
I didn't even notice it sitting there. After all, it wasn't going to spoil and smell bad; no one was going to trip over it; it didn't need to go into the dishwasher. That's pretty much all I'm focusing on these days.
Unfortunately, the mom who delivered Ten's science-fair partner was more than a little spooked by the sight of that gun on the shelf.
"Please tell me that's not a real gun," she whispered, pointing anxiously to where the BB gun sat, surrounded by baby pictures of the kids' cousins.
This is the same mom who will not allow her fourth-grader into my backyard because we have an above-ground pool with a locked gate, or into my front yard because, well, there's a street in front of it. It looks like she's only going to let her child play here on rainy days when there's no possible way the boys will want to go outside.
Once again, I'm declaring my living room a Toy-Free Zone. If you're doing the same, you'll find lovely home accents at Through the Country Door. Reclaim the living room--or any room--and redecorate, all while saving 10%!

Henry's lawyer never showed up at the Tri-County jail and prison personnel is constantly giving Walt the runaround. By the way, there is someone else who is not looking so great - Branch. Take one more week off from work, Branch. Take two.
Walt and Vic pay a visit to Paulina's adoptive parents, the Greens, who state the 17-year-old ran away from home 11 months ago. They did not report her missing because frankly, they were glad to see the violent little Hades-raiser go. So the next stop for Walt and Vic is a reform school in Arizona. The serial number on Paulina's cell phone is traced back to the school but the phone really belongs to Mr. Young, the missing head of security. Where did he go off to?
The Native Americans, led by Malachi and his "brotherhood," incarcerated at the Tri-County jail run the show. Malachi gives Henry a pretty clear choice, "Go red or go dead." What the heck!
A young girl at the reform school with computer privileges volunteers to help Walt and Vic. Paulina always sent her photos of those who gave her a ride. Thanks to Branch, Walt and Vic find Mr. Young at the motel. Aside from making sexist remarks about women, Mr. Young explains he's laying low after realizing Paulina stole his cell phone. He believes he will probably lose his job. Ya think? Mr. Young is such a pervert. One could easily guess he liked to get handsy with anything female no matter what age, race, creed, religion or species. Thankfully, Walt and Vic haul his slime ball backside to jail.
Walt and his team question another man who also denies murdering the ruffian who lived to terrorize anyone she came in contact with. The man is innocent but does have an interesting story to tell. He claims Paulina confided in him that she was being abused by her father which leads Walt and Vic back to the adoptive parents. There is one problem. Although the Greens lied about the last time they saw Paulina, they did sign her off some time ago to be "re-homed' by another family, the Gunthers.
Walt drops by the Tri-County jail to see his friend Henry but gets Malachi instead. According to Malachi, Henry is busy getting reacquainted with his roots. You dastard!
It turns out the last guy who gave Paulina a ride didn't kill her either. He merely dropped her off at a trailer park and left her there because he got scared. It was Paulina who had murder in her eyes. In desperate need of a clue, Vic stalks the chat rooms for parents looking to trade in their kids as if they were on Amazon or something. In other words, the search is on for the Gunthers.
In actuality, Paulina returned to retrieve her sister Sophie from the evil clutches of fake daddy Gunther who it turns out is the one responsible for Paulina's death. Mrs. Gunther admitted that her husband got upset with Paulina for coming to take Sophie away and choked Paulina to death. Sophie ended up with a better outcome after all once Walt rescued her.

well performing column
Application Area: peptide analysis
"We had been using an older type of C18 column (Symmetry) but switched to XSelect after being advised by Waters. The method transfer to the new column was very easy, results were very well comparable. We only used the XSelect column for a short while now, so I cannot comment on long-term use, but for now results are very consistent. We also use the XSelect Vanguard guard which is easy to use."

The XSelect HSS T3 column made difference in my work results!
Application Area:Chemical Fingerprint of Natural Products
"Several attempts to obtain the chromatographic profile of a natural product extract were performed with other columns, which showed about 10 substances in the chemical fingerprint. The XSelect HSS T3 column presented a chromatographic profile of my extract with about 20 substances with incredible separation! Including the substance, I was looking for it was trace in the sample and I did not observe it in the analysis carried out with the other columns. It was a pleasant surprise and I was amazed with the separation profile obtained in LC-MS analyses."

"Water's CSH (Charged Surface Hybrid) columns offer a significant advantage over other types of columns. It offers superior peak shape for nearly all basic compounds, increased loading capacity (meaning more concentrated samples or higher injection volume), rapid column equilibration after changing mobile-phase pH (allows switching between between mobile phases for changing retention order), and it is very stable at extreme pH ranges. Overall, it is a very good column that can be used for a variety of analysis."

If by any chance we were to find any money to spend on the region's transport infrastructure, it would make more sense putting it into a rail tunnel into Auckland's CBD than extending the "holiday highway" beyond the twin tunnels and up as far as Wellsford.
But the bit of toll road they've done already has certainly shrunk the trip between Auckland and Warkworth. Outside rush hour, it's only 45 minutes, even with the Professor at the wheel of our ancient Corolla; people who live in Henderson and work in the city probably dream of a drive that short.
Warkworth, of course, is the jumping-off point for what they call the Matakana Coast. It's an area they tried to brand as New Zealand's Tuscany, which I always found irritating because of the cultural cringe it implied, but mercifully that name seems to have fallen out of favour.
The area is home to a dozen wineries of various sizes, some of which have platter-type nibbles, but Ascension's Oak Grill, a fine place for a long lunch, has long been the only substantial vineyard restaurant.
That changed in October with the opening of Plume, a joint venture between the owners of Heron's Flight Vineyard and nearby Runner Duck Estate.
It's a marriage made in heaven, and their own wines, with a commendably small markup, dominate the compact list: Heron's Flight has several years of its sangiovese that are not available at retail level and Runner Duck specialises in syrah.
Plume occupies the building that was Heron's Flight's cafe, though it's had an impressive facelift and is usefully divided into several spaces so large parties won't disturb private diners. And the view - did I hear someone mention Tuscany?
The attention to detail that characterises the refit has carried over into the operation: service is slick and staff can talk about the food and wine without acting all snobby and up themselves.
Meanwhile, Sicilian-born and French-trained chef Gaetano Francelle discharges his duties with a sure sense of drama. As he puts the finishing touches on dishes at a servery plainly visible from the restaurant, he moves by turns like a bullfighter and a ballet dancer, and the occasional eruption - plume, even - of flame from the pans behind him adds to the effect.
Of the food, it is easy to be warm, without being ecstatic. There is nothing here to hugely excite the imagination, except perhaps the lamb rump (marinated in yoghurt and mint and sharpened with spiced lemon), though there was a stuffed quail on the specials list the night we were there.
But what the menu lacks in adventurousness it makes up in top-flight execution. Francelle and his team, sous-chef Kahui Cassidy and chef Christoph Mehlberg, are a class act.
The kingfish came with jersey bennies, chorizo and tomato; the pappardelle with olive oil, lemon juice and excellent parmesan was a triumphant demonstration of how simple food can be sublime when all the ingredients are top-notch; the beef worked just fine, even if it was a trifle overdone.
Earlier we'd enjoyed plump Mahurangi oysters accompanied by shot glasses of vodka and Tabasco (like sending your sinuses to Arizona) and shallot vinegar; a creamy pork-and-duck rillette (like a pate); and a generous halloumi and watercress salad. The Heron's Flight Dolcetto worked well with everything. That syrah will have to wait until a second visit to this excellent country kitchen.
Ambience: Upmarket but relaxed
Vegetarians: Pasta
Watch out for: The view
Bottom line: Worth the drive
$257 for four
Halloumi salad: $20
Oysters (12): $31
Rillette: $23

My teaching philosophy:
Far too often have I observed that students have a difficult time posing questions within both the science classroom and laboratory. As a professor, teaching assistant and advisor, students are revealing their level of understanding of the material and of their prospective careers simply by the types of questions they have. As a graduate teaching assistant, one of the first issues I came across was a student that told me 'I don't know how to ask the question I want'. While this statement was initially puzzling, I decided to focus my teaching philosophy around this initial problem of a proper question. By listening to students questions both in and out of class, it can provide an accurate assessment of their level of understanding of science in general, as well as provide insights into the problems they may be having in my classes.Using both scientific theory and examples of experimentation when I pose questions to my students during lectures, I show them that I emphasize the applicability of the material to real world situations. While all teachers want their students to think critically, I also want my students to learn in terms of how this topic applies to what they want to accomplish in their careers. Additionally, I want my students to apply what they have learned to ask questions about modern issues in science that they come across in their everyday lives. As an example, in my microbiology class, the topic was biological fermentation. Regardless of their desired profession, I will lead most students in determining how this basic biological process relates to what they will see in the real world, of course, by using questions. Showing the students this process of thinking beyond that material and asking how it applies to each of them raises their understanding of the material and increases their awareness of their true career goals. This is evident in the level of question and the thought process that I see in them toward the end of the semester.
Thoughts about the future of my field:
Biology in general is an ever growing and changing field. The new advances in science and biotechnology are evident in every issue of Scientific American and can be found in virtually every newspaper each day. New genetic methodologies, uncovering new fossils, advances in medicine, and even new discoveries about human physiology make biology a fascinating and challenging topic worth investigation.
Current research and interests:
During the 2010-2011 academic year, I advised a senior student, Ryan Queen, on a capstone project evaluating the Hiwassee College water system from a biological perspective. We were interested to see if any biological contamination existed in the water system and we were happy to report that no such contamination exists.Additionally, in 2010, I published a book chapter for the Encyclopedia of Animal Behavior discussing modern methods for bridging the gap between microevolution and macroevolution, that is, how small genetic changes within a population or species can lead to large phenotypic differences among species or genera.

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Andrea Kirsh reviews the exhibition Henry Ossawa Tanner; Modern Spirit at The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, on view through April 15, 2012.
Kirsh notes that: "The most unusual aspect of Tanner's work has received no significant discussion that I know of: his palette, most specifically his tendency to emphasize tones of blue, particularly in religious scenes; some are so exclusively blue that the paintings could be considered monochromes... The unnatural coloring certainly situates them beyond a realistic representation of observed visual effects. It also creates an affinity among a group of works that portray ordinary human activities performed in the presence of the divine. This highly personal and deeply felt recasting of religious imagery makes the most persuasive case for Tanner's modernity."
Edited by artist Brett Baker, Painters' Table highlights writing from the painting blogosphere as it is published and serves as a platform for exploring blogs that focus primarily on the subject of painting.

Last weekend's Vampire Diaries panel audience at PaleyFest were treated to an advance screening of last night's new episode, 1912 (EP316), and Julie Plec and cast hit the stage immediately afterwards to discuss the revelations and repercussions as we head into the final episodes of Season 3.
Be warned: Every one of these discussion panel recaps is spoilerific, so steer clear if you haven't watched 1912 yet.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Synaptics (NASDAQ:SYNA) rose more than 30% early Wednesday after the company announced the acquisition of Japan-based Renesas SP Drivers. In a separate press release, Synaptics also raised its fiscal fourth-quarter revenue outlook.
So what: Based on today's exchange rates, Synaptics will pay approximately $475 million to acquire all outstanding equity of Renesas SP Drivers, which is currently the sole supplier to Apple for iPhone display driver chips. Synaptics expects the acquisition will not only increase its addressible market opportunity by 1.5 times, but also "accelerate its product roadmap for touch-and-display driver integration." Excluding transaction expenses, the purchase will also be immediately accretive to Synaptics' adjusted earnings per share.
Synaptics also stated Renesas SP Drivers has an estimated $515 million enterprise value, and that the purchase price was calculated based on customary adjustments including cash, net working capital, net debt, and third-party expenses. For the year ended March 2014, Renesas SP Drivers had revenue and cash flow of $650 million and $100 million, respectively. In any case, at first glance, with a purchase price of just 0.73 times trailing 12-month sales, Synaptics looks like it scored a great deal.
Finally, Synaptics now expects fiscal-fourth quarter 2014 revenue in the range of $300 million to $310 million, compared to its previous guidance of $275 million to $295 million. Analysts, on average, were modeling Q4 sales of just $289.23 million.
Now what: Today's news isn't a complete surprise, as Synaptics shares also popped 11% exactly two weeks ago following reports it was in talks regarding this very acquisition. To the market's credit, however, it is encouraging that Synaptics was able to wrangle 100% of Renesas SP Drivers' equity, as previous reports had only suggested talks for a 55% stake from Renesas SP Drivers' parent company, Renesas Electronics. The remaining 45% was collectively owned by Japan's Sharp and Taiwan's Powerchip, so Synaptics must have brought them to the table, as well.
In any case, with shares currently trading around 18 times next year's estimated earnings -- and keeping in mind those estimates are likely to increase -- I can't blame the market for driving shares of Synaptics up today.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Speaking of Apple suppliers, Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But another small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!
