The Squash Blossom presents the innovative and unique jewelry of California designer Sarah Graham. Graham's combination of handmade, inspired design and exquisite materials results in a collection of jewelry that is both bold and daring without sacrificing the elegance and sophistication that assure an ageless quality. The jewelry is distinctive, calm, serene and graceful.
Graham's jewelry pushes the boundaries of convention through her use of 18-karat gold and blackened steel and highlights of black, white and cognac diamonds. The jewelry carries strong tones of thoughtfulness, attention to detail, quality and timelessness. Her signature combination of black, white and gold colors immediately identifies the artist.
For her 2013 collection, Graham once again drew inspiration from nature, and more specifically, the ocean. The "Sea Urchin" collection features the mouth part of the marine invertebrate, which has tooth like plates that point inward and are referred to as Aristotle's lantern.
"Once again, Sarah's newest collections speaks of the beauty of nature," said Amy Logan, store manager. "This time finding inspiration from the sea, her Sea Urchin collection has a feminine sensibility. Slow and methodical, the Sea Urchin shows us how to maneuver with tenacity and patience. With a tough exterior and soft inside, the Sea Urchin is a bold representation of the modern woman - strong and accomplished, with natural grace and beauty."
Crafted in 18K gold, the plates of Graham's Sea Urchins point to sparkling diamonds set against a dramatic backdrop of oxidized cobalt chrome, her signature metal.
See the new Sarah Graham jewelry line Friday through Sunday at The Squash Blossom in Vail Village.

DOE Report: Recovery Act Boosts Advanced Vehicle Investments
President Obama speaks July 8 at Smith Electric Vehicles plant that has benefitted from the Recovery Act.
DOE released on July 14 a new report on the economic impact of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act investments in advanced batteries and vehicles. "Recovery Act Investments: Transforming America's Transportation Sector" documents how Recovery Act funds are being matched with private capital to create new jobs, help construct new plants, add new manufacturing lines, install electric vehicle charging stations nationwide, and help build the emerging domestic electric vehicle industry from the ground up.
Companies have matched—at minimum—dollar for dollar the $2.4 billion in Recovery Act seed money for advanced battery and electric vehicle grants. Other highlights of the investments include increased battery production capacity, lowered battery costs, and more vehicle charging locations. The United States will have the capacity to produce 20% of the world's electric batteries by 2012 and up to 40% by 2015 because of the investments. All nine new battery plants that will open as a result of Recovery Act investments have started construction, and four of those will be operational by the end of the year. In addition, 21 other plants will make battery or electric vehicle components with the help of Recovery Act grants. Before the Recovery Act, high battery costs meant a car with a 100-mile range would need a battery that cost $33,000. Now, higher-volume domestic manufacturing could bring the cost of such a battery down to $16,000 by the end of 2013 and to $10,000 by the end of 2015.
The report was released prior to President Obama's July 15 visit to Compact Power in Holland, Michigan. Compact Power matched more than dollar-for-dollar the $151 million Recovery Act grant awarded it last August. The company's new plant will manufacture batteries to support 52,000 Chevy Volts a year and will supply batteries for the new electric Ford Focus.

I have enough discs that finding a random disc on the course is more of a hinderance than a reward. I understand it is hard to find an owner if there is no name. But....that shouldn't stop you from talking to the people in front of you on the course or posting here.
We find a few disc's at Wildcat with no names. ?????
Doesn't make sense not to put a name or something on them.

ISO Beers -- the ISO stands for "In Search of" -- was eagerly anticipated when it opened in downtown San Jose this spring, riding the exploding popularity of craft beers. And my guess is that it's not what casual visitors expect when they think of "beer bar."
The Bud Girls wouldn't feel comfortable at the beer-tasting and bottle shop (and regular Bud drinkers might feel a little lost). There aren't any garish neon signs hanging on the walls, no frosty pitchers lined up behind the bar, and not even any of the ornate tap handles that craft brewers use to build their brands.
ISO is clean, modern and quiet, with a touch of industrial decor in muted blacks, browns and grays -- all of which combines to produce a calming, zen atmosphere. Of course, the 39 craft beers on tap help with that, too. Especially at the woodblock picnic tables on the shady, spacious patio "beer garden."
When it comes to ordering beers, it took me a while to get used to the nondescript, identical taps lining the stainless steel backbar. Instead of scanning the tap handles, you need to peruse the menu, complete with tasting notes from RateBeer.com.
But doesn't that make sense? It's not like you go to a gourmet restaurant and just point at whatever catches your eye in the kitchen. Customers are forced to rely more on their taste buds and maybe have a conversation about the beer instead of just sticking with the label they like best.
Of course, there's still a place for labels at ISO Beers because it also serves as a bottle shop. You can pick out a craft-beer bottle or two to purchase from one of the large coolers, nicely set off from the seating area so they won't be distracting.
The draft beers encompass a wide variety of styles, including saisons, stouts, Belgians and various IPAs. General Manager Jake McCluskey -- who previously worked at the Market Beer Co. at San Pedro Square Market -- seems to know something about all of them.
McCluskey says the menu evolves almost daily, as when one keg goes dry, a different beer replaces it. (You can check the menu at www.beermenus.com/places/14000-isobeers.) Some of the more well-known beer-makers represented include Stone, Lagunitas, Heretic and Almanac, but there are plenty of smaller ones, too. There's even mead and hard cider on the menu, as well as one lonely bottle of pinot noir for the wine drinkers.
The beers are served mostly in 10- to 14-ounce glasses, depending on the style, with draft prices ranging from $5 to $13, though most are $6 to $7. There are high-end bottles available, too, like Almanac's Farmer's Reserve No. 3, a sour/wild ale that goes for $25 for a 375-milliliter bottle, and AleSmith's Speedway Stout, a 2013 vintage imperial stout that sells for $80 for a 750-milliliter bottle.
The ones I've tried, like Lagunitas' NightTime Ale, have been a real treat. I'd describe them further, but you're better off exploring on your own. Besides, the menu probably will have changed by the time you're reading this.
The drawback at ISO Beers -- aside from the relative lack of cheap parking in downtown San Jose -- is that it doesn't serve food. But nobody minds if you bring in a sandwich or takeout from nearby eateries like Ike's and Grub Shack as long as you clean up after yourself. There are even menus from some of those places at the register.
The crowds I've seen there have been mostly well-dressed friends and co-workers stopping by after work to try a new beer or two. Again, not exactly what you envision when you hear "beer bar."
But ISO Beers is really good at defying expectations.

Monday, February 11, 2013
OMAHA, Neb. – University of South Carolina Aiken senior catcher/outfielder Josh Miller has been named to the 2013 Tino Martinez Award Watch List.
The Tino Martinez Award is given to the most outstanding player in NCAA Division II baseball at the conclusion of the 2013 season.
The initial Watch List includes 150 top amateur athletes from across the nation. The annual honor is named after the former University of Tampa Spartan, United States Olympian, First-Round draft pick and MLB All-Star, Tino Martinez.
Initial nominations for the award were made by baseball sports information contacts, coaches and media members. A panel of media, coaches and sports information officers will be polled to finalize the candidates and determine the 2013 winner. A fan Internet vote also contributes to the final vote.
Miller (Chapin, S.C./Chapin HS) entered the 2013 season by being chosen a Preseason All-American by the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. He was also named Preseason All-Region by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.
Miller was selected to the 2013 Peach Belt Conference Preseason All-Conference Team.
The 2012 First-Team All-Peach Belt Conference selection hit .376 (79-for-210) in his junior campaign.
The 2012 Peach Belt Conference Tournament All-Tournament Team member and American Baseball Coaches Association Southeast Region All-Region choice had 21 extra-base hits on 14 doubles and seven home runs.
Miller owned a slugging percentage of .543 in 2012. He finished his year with an on-base percentage of .441.
In total, Miller had a team-best 57 RBIs to go along with 46 runs scored.
Miller has started all six Pacer games this season. He has stolen a team-high tying three bases this season.
Miller and nationally fifth-ranked USC Aiken will next welcome Shepherd to Roberto Hernandez Stadium for a three-game series for the first time.
The Rams and Pacers will commence their three-game series at 4 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 15. The series will close with single 1 p.m. games on Saturday, Feb. 16 and Sunday, Feb. 17.
Shepherd, which is the alma mater of current Pacer head assistant coach Jason Walck, and USC Aiken have not met since 1992. The Pacers own a 2-0 all-time series advantage in the series.
Shepherd will be opening its 2013 season against the Pacers.

Neck pain is discomfort in any of the structures in the neck. These include the muscles, nerves, bones (vertebrae), and the disks between the bones.
Pain - neck; Neck stiffness
When your neck is sore, you may have difficulty moving it, especially turning to one side. Many people describe this as having a stiff neck.
If neck pain involves nerves, you may feel numbness, tingling, or weakness in your arm, hand, or elsewhere.
A common cause of neck pain is muscle strain or tension. Usually, everyday activities are to blame. Such activities include:
Accidents or falls can cause severe neck injuries such as vertebral fractures, whiplash, blood vessel injury, and even paralysis.
Other causes include:
For minor, common causes of neck pain:
You may want to reduce your activity only for the first couple of days. Then slowly resume your usual activities. Do not do any heavy lifting or twisting of your back or neck for the first 6 weeks after the pain begins. After 2 to 3 weeks, slowly begin exercising again. A physical therapist can help you decide when to begin stretching and strengthening exercises and how to do them.
Do not do the following during your early recovery, unless your doctor or physical therapist says it is OK:
The following steps can prevent neck pain or help your neck pain improve:
Seek medical help right away if:
Call your health care provider if:
Your doctor or nurse will perform a physical exam and ask about your neck pain, including how often it occurs and how much it hurts. Other questions may include:
Your answers help the doctor determine the cause of your neck pain and whether it is likely to quickly get better with simple measures such as ice, mild painkillers, physical therapy, and proper exercises. Most of the time, neck pain will get better in 4 to 6 weeks using these approaches.
Your doctor or nurse will probably not order any tests during the first visit, unless you have symptoms or a medical history that suggests a tumor, infection, fracture, or serious nerve disorder. In that case, the following tests may be done:
If the pain is due to muscle spasm or a pinched nerve, your health care provider may prescribe a muscle relaxant or a more powerful pain reliever. Over-the-counter medications often work as well as prescription drugs. The health care provider may prescribe a neck collar or, if there is nerve damage, refer you to a neurologist or neurosurgeon for consultation.
If your doctor or nurse thinks your neck pain may be due to meningitis, you will be sent to an emergency department for further tests and treatment.

She's married to Francesco Martini, a native of Italy, which they return to every summer.
Tom Condon (firstname.lastname@example.com), deputy editorial page editor, is a columnist and chief editorial writer of The Courant. Tom is a native of New London, a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and the University of Connecticut School of Law, and a member of the Connecticut Bar. He is also a Vietnam veteran, having served with U.S. Army Intelligence in the Mekong Delta in 1969-70. Since joining The Courant in 1971, he has served in a variety of reporting and editing positions, ranging from general assignment reporter to New Haven bureau chief to special projects editor. He was a news columnist for 18 years, and is a longtime student of Hartford past and present. Condon has won more than 30 journalism and community awards, including the New England Society of Newspaper Editors Master Reporter Award, the 2007 American Planning Association Journalism Award and the 2008 Allan B. Rogers Editorial Award from the New England Newspaper Association. In 2012, Tom won the National Headliner Award ( first place for editorial writing) and two awards from the Connecticut Society of Professional Journalists (first and second place for editorial writing).

Peter B. Pach (firstname.lastname@example.com) oversees The Courant's op-eds and the Sunday Opinion section, and writes editorials. He joined The Courant as Middletown bureau chief in 1983. He previously was an editor and reporter for the Meriden Record-Journal. He became a columnist at The Courant, writing about the state's people and issues for about 12 years, which took him to every town in Connecticut. During that time, he joined the editorial board as an editorial writer on local issues. Subsequently, he returned to editing, overseeing local editorials and then op-eds.

Bob Englehart is The Courant's editorial cartoonist. Born in Fort Wayne, Ind., he determined early in life to be an artist. As a teenager, Bill Mauldin, Norman Rockwell, and the illustrators of the Famous Artists School were an influence. He attended the American Academy of Art on full scholarship for one and a half years until dropping out to join the staff of the Chicago American, soon renamed Chicago Today. There, he studied closely the work of Pat Oliphant and Today's Wayne Stayskal. One day, in a composing room error, Englehart's weekly cartoon ran large at the top of the editorial page and Stayskal's ran small at the bottom. A career was born. Englehart's next venture was a small commercial art studio, while he kept his hand in journalism drawing free-lance editorial cartoons for the Journal-Gazette. In 1975, Englehart became the full-time editorial cartoonist for the Dayton, Ohio Journal Herald. On Dec. 15, 1980, he joined The Hartford Courant as the first full-time editorial cartoonist in the history of the country's oldest newspaper.
Ken Heidel (email@example.com) is the opinion community manager for Courant.com.

Wednesday's letters: Obama's policies
Published: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 5:24 p.m.
To the editor: Economic growth is anemic and totally inadequate to carry the debt load the administration has imposed. It does not provide the jobs that people need. It does not provide the payroll tax revenues to strengthen Social Security. This is Obamas economic policy!
North Korea has exploded a nuclear device; Iran will soon have nuclear bombs. This is Obamas foreign policy!
Candler A. Willis
Its no big deal
To the editor: So, the National Park Service is going to experience spending cuts right along with the Carl Sandburg home, a national historical site. Big numbers included in the recent article: $758,000 to be axed from a budget of $15.6 million. And the Carl Sandburg home is going to lose $62,000 from a budget of $1.2 million. Well, its about time.
These cuts amount to approximately 0.05 percent of these budgets. Unbelievable that something as small as this warrants bold headlines in the paper.
Is the media again slinging scare tactics for the Obama administration?
Lets look at this another way. These are savings to the taxpayers.
So someone has to drive 80 miles from one visitors center to another, or there might be fewer tours at CSH. Big deal. Id like to see the cuts being 5 percent.
One can still drive along the parkway and enjoy the scenery for free, and folks can still take their hikes up Big Glassy. Maybe there need to be reductions in salaries in the National Park Service, and dont forget cutting salaries to Congress.
Glenn Richardson
Focus on finances
To the editor: Having not so long ago moved into a retirement home here from out of state, I am heartened that the N.C. Legislature has few problems to address more important than exposed nipples. Leave the nipples alone and solve the states financial woes.
Edwin F. Holcombe
Pipelines impact
To the editor: An article in the Times-News on Feb. 20 quoted the president of the company planning on building a pipeline from western Canada to Texas as saying the project would have no measurable effect on global warming.
Alex Pourbaix, TransCanadas president for energy and pipelines, states in his stunning conclusion that Simple math tells us, therefore, that the oil sands represent one tenth of one percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Even if production from the oil sands were to double, the contribution from the oil sands would be immaterial ... .
If the oil sands represent one tenth of one percent, then they contribute one thousandth of the problem. A thousand such immaterial contributions would make up the entire global greenhouse gas emissions on Earth today. If the same thousand immaterial contributors doubled their production of greenhouse gas emissions, assuring us all that what theyre doing would have such a small impact as to not really matter, we would have a doubling of global greenhouse gas emissions on the planet far from immaterial.
Mr. Pourbaixs math is indeed simple, but not as simple, or erroneous, as his conclusions. Where, on this increasingly warming planet, did he go to school?

I went to Philippine Science High School to register for the national alumni association and designate a proxy for the elections on Saturday. I'll be in Subic with Ranulf and a few other friends, so I gave Ma'am Chupungco proxy powers. Although Aris Roberto does not enjoy universal confidence, I'm glad that at least he cares about these issues enough to raise our awareness--and he did manage to get several of us batch 99ers out of the woodwork. There's something to be said about that.

I've been using QCad Pro for a few months now and I have to say that I love this simple program for field work!
I totally love the "keep it simple" approach for my preliminary work.
With that in mind...here is my wish list.
I hope it's worth some thought.
1. .PNG Export as well. - For further compatibility with graphics programs.
2. Using "SHIFT" and/or "CTRL" keys to snap at 15 degree angles while drawing. ie: using shift while drawing a line will allow you to visually snap to desired angle in 15 degree increments. Sort of like "ORTHO on Steroids" Linux's Kolourpaint uses this already and it's awesome!
3. The ability to place user specified amount of equally spaced "references" on an entity that can then be snapped to. ie: placing "X" amount of snap points on a line or circle and snapping to and from them. VERY handy for layout work.
4. The ability to shrink the command line area down to one history line and an input line. YUP, I use it on a netbook in the field and space is at a premium.

The Islanders will be a new-look squad after the graduation of regulars Nikki Dunn and Taylor Slagle. Returning atop the Islanders lineup is Second Team All-Southland honoree Vanessa Johnson, who led the team in stroke average last season. Seniors Krista Fenniak and Lindsay Biehler also return to the Islanders lineup after strong seasons a year ago. A pair of newcomers will round out the squad in Lincoln, with freshmen Ana Paredes (San Antonio) and Claudia Galindo (Madrid, Spain) making their collegiate debuts.

October is Down syndrome awareness month and last year i attempted the 31 post for 21 challenge( the medical term for Down syndrome is Trisomy 21)but switched it to 21 for 21 because i knew 31 wasn't realistic with Shabbos and what not. This year i will try again but know realistically it wont happen due to Shabbos, Yom Kippur, Sukkos, and Simchas Torah all landing in the month of October, but i will try and that is all the counts, right?
Today i had to go to Dovie's school early. Pick up is at 2:30 but i needed to be there at 2, on the dot. See today his school is going to have a fire drill and the loud sound is usually a perfectly mixed recipe for guaranteed meltdown, immobilizing fear, and many days of a traumatized child. We discussed the drill and how it was going to go, and i came to help him work through his fear. Thank Gd it went really well and due to all our preparations he was equipped to deal with what could have been a traumatic event. See Dovie has a lot of sensory issues and i have had him tested a few times, but he has never once qualified for services. I end up doing a lot of research and mooch off Rozie's therapist for ideas to help him cope. His sensory issues can really affect how he eats, sleeps, dresses, and functions in life.
Rozie does not have these issues. She will eat anything. Will wear whatever i put on her ( except for shoes and socks, but i think she gets that from her momma). She also loves new things and exciting sounds. She came with for the fire drill and insisted on trying to copy the sound of the alarm with a huge grin on her face. She loved the excitement. She loves huge carnival slides, Dovie cried. She loves people in costumes, Dovie has a horrible fear of them. Honestly Rozie has been my easiest child. She has an amazing disposition. Yet she is the child i received condolence phone calls for when she was born.
I guess my point is all 3 of my children have strengths and weaknesses. Each of my children bring joy and into my life and each one of them can wear my patience thin.
But Rozie is the one i have to advocate for the, the one i have to convince others is not so bad, but wonderful. She is the one that people give me sad eyes for, and nebach words.
She is the one that cause women to think about terminating a pregnancy when they are told the news they feared to be true. She is the one that people daven not to have. Yet she like my Dovie, like my Mel challenge me and surprise me. She sometimes fits the mold and often breaks it. She is an individual not just a Trisomy. I am so thankful that my Dovie is who he is , my Mel is exactly as he is, and my Rozie is exactly who she is with her extra chromosome and all.

The South Tahoe seventh grade boys basketball team ground out an 18-16 win against Carson Valley at home Thursday.
"It was unbelievable," head coach Tim Parsons said. "My little guys came in there and played a guy as big as me. Our mantra was 'Let's shock the world'."
South Tahoe certainly shocked Carson Valley with the midseason turnaround performance. Was this the same team they beat 29-13 just 16 days earlier?
The Vikings outscored Carson 7-2 in the fourth quarter.
Brian Schoten tied the game at 16-16 from the free throw line. Then, with 26 seconds left on the clock, Oscar Herrera made a running 15-footer for nothing but net.
South Tahoe then went to work on defense. Khale Lexa and Brian Catchings double teamed Carson Valley's big guy to hold onto the win as they ate up clock.
"It's all about defense, and we played so well on defense," Parsons said. "The bench was great cheering us on."
Tim Cain and Christian Tovar rounded out South Tahoe's stellar defense. Tovar also led the team with six points.
Rick Chandler, who coached the likes of Jeremy Lin and Tom Brady, took a break from his Palo Alto High School coaching gig to serve as assistant coach for the game.

While Indiana is the smallest state west of the Appalachian Mountains, it packs a powerful punch in its educational, economical, and cultural diversity. The metropolitan areas of the state offer some of the best prices on hotels in Indiana while the smaller cities and towns offer a unique perspective all their own. As a Midwestern and Great Lakes State with a low cost of living, Indiana hotels are affordable on any budget.
Before it became a state, the area of Indiana was inhabited by native peoples for thousands of years. The state takes pride in this rich cultural history. Special artifacts such as mastodons and spears have been found from these ancient civilizations. As European settlers arrived, the area became important for trade and agriculture.
Indiana is also well known for many of its fine universities, including Notre Dame, Purdue, and Indiana University, which are ranked among the top in the country. The NCAA basketball and football games at these schools draw in many guests seeking cheap hotel deals in Indiana. Professional sporting events including the Colts, Pacers, and Indianapolis 500 draw big crowds into Indianapolis for Indiana hotel packages as well. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway seats an incredible 257,325 people.
Northern Indiana has incredible sand dunes and peaceful beaches, drawing in visitors looking for discount prices for a weekend getaway. Many Indiana hotel deals in the northern part of the state offer amenities such as access to outdoor recreational facilities and equipment to enjoy while at the shores of Lake Michigan.
The southern part of the state borders the Ohio River and affords travelers the opportunity to book rooms and enjoy the relaxed river culture, including riding steamboat tours and watching the freight ships come through. To find a cheap Indiana hotel deal on Expedia, travelers should plan a month in advance. However, if attending a major event like the Indy 500, it is best to make reservations as far in advance as possible.
Indiana's climate offers warm, humid summers and cool winters. Rates for accommodations are often lower during the less popular winter months. During the summer months, tourism is at its peak as annual events such as the Indiana State Fair, the July Three Rivers Festival in Fort Wayne, and the September Feast of the Hunter's Moon in West Lafayette. With so many fun things to do in Indiana, tourists never want to depart for home.

Rihanna was attacked outside a nightclub early Monday morning.
No, I don't know where Chris Brown was Monday morning.
The 24-year-old singer was outside the Box nightclub when a heckler threw an energy drink bottle at the star.
I guess they're right when they say energy drinks aren't good for you.
British tabloid the Daily Mail reported the assailant was a "crazed fan" who "screamed at (Rihanna) about Chris Brown" before hurling a bottle of Lucozade, a type of energy and sports drink, at the star. Rihanna reportedly suffered a scraped right knee from the incident. Her bodyguard was also injured and taken to the hospital.
Way to prove your point that Rihanna shouldn't be around violent men, Mr. Crazed Fan.
Just a week ago, the singer appeared at the Grammys with on and off-again boyfriend Brown at the Grammys. It was the couple's first official appearance together at an industry event in nearly four years, after Brown assaulted Rihanna before the 2009 Grammys.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Rihanna talked about reconciling with Brown. "Even if it's a mistake, it's my mistake," she said. "After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I'd rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it."
Yeah, but can her bodyguards?

1-OTC wins over anything. The cockpit would have been destroyed.
2-The perfect timing and you could blast the rotor off without being chopped to pieces.
3-You should go for the autopilot then the pilot, then.
4-You should have robbed the missiles and have them thrown back at the helicopter.

Rule changes
The Democratic-led House enacted several rule changes at the beginning of the 110th Congress. These included the following:
- Rule X - Organization of committees: Several committee names were altered. The Committee on Education and the Workforce became the Committee on Education and Labor, the Committee on International Relations became the Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Committee on Resources became the Committee on Natural Resources, the Committee on Government Reform became the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Committee on Science became the Committee on Science and Technology.
- Rule XI - Procedures of committees and unfinished business: Annual ethics training is now required for members, delegates, and employees of the House and will be conducted by the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct.
- Rule XX - Voting and quorum calls: The Speaker of the House is now prohibited from holding votes open beyond the 20 minute limit for the express purpose of changing the outcome of the vote (a dig at former Speaker Dennis Hastert's holding the 2003 vote on the Medicare Modernization Act for nearly three hours).
- Rule XXI - Restrictions on certain bills: New so-called "pay/go" provisions state that all spending increases must be offset by spending reductions or revenue increases. The rule change also institutes restrictions on earmarking by mandating that no bill can be considered that is not presented with a list of earmarks, limited tax benefits, and limited tariff benefits attached and included in the Congressional Record. This applies to all bills coming from committee, conference committee, joint committee, or bills that forgo the committee process.
New rules
The Democrats also created several new rules upon taking control in the 110th Congress:
- Rule XXII - House and Senate relations: This new rule bans the practice of changing a conference report after it has been agreed upon and signed by conferees, a not-uncommon tactic used by the House Republican leadership in previous congresses.
- Rule XXIII - Code of Official Conduct: This new rule aims to end the "K Street Project" by prohibiting members from threatening to retaliate against firms that hire employees who do not have similar partisan affiliations, prohibiting members from using funds (official, personal, or campaign) to pay for the use of privately-owned airplanes and requiring members to disclose all earmark requests and confirm that neither they nor their spouses have a financial stake in those requests.
- Rule XXV - Limitations on outside earned income and acceptance of gifts: This new rule bans lawmakers from receiving gifts or travel reimbursements from lobbyists and foreign agents.
Rules carried over from the 109th Congress
Democrats chose to preserve a Republican-initiated rule from the 109th Congress limiting members from serving as committee chairs on the same committee for more than three consecutvie Congresses (six years). The rule was originally put into place by a newly-elected Republican Congress in 1995 led by former Speaker Newt Gingrich.
John Santore, a spokesman for Rules Committee Chair Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.), said that the term limits issue was not, "an area of contention" for most Democrats. He did add, however, that some Democrats disagreed with the continuation of the rule and that the issue could be revisited in the future. [1]
- Main article: U.S. House of Representatives Committees
The following legislative issues were addressed by the House during the 110th Congress:
- Implementation of 9/11 commission recommendations

About the Book
How can love survive a brutal time?
In 1946 in North America, a child makes a grisly find in a deserted field—a discovery that opens a shuttered window on a secret dating back to the beginning of the turbulent decade.
In 1941 in occupied France, Adele Georges's fruitless attempts to learn the whereabouts of her father, captured by the Nazis, lead her to a lonely young German soldier far from home. A spark between them becomes a fire—and a dangerous love affair blooms across enemy lines, dooming Adele to a grim postwar existence as a despised outcast, one of the infamous "horizontal collaborators." Ostracized, tortured, tormented, she chooses a desperate escape, accompanying a war-damaged yet optimistic Allied soldier across an ocean to a new land. But there is no refuge from the past, as Adele's broken heart and shameful secret drive her deeper into despair...and toward a shocking outcome.
Part mystery and part love story—an unforgettable and beautifully written novel of secrets, passions, and consequences—Transgression is an exceptional work of power and strange beauty.

When I open my file it opens in a huge model space and uses a lot of ram.
See image
http://www.bilder-upload.eu/show.php?fi ... fbYJSk.jpg
The file I want to work on is circled.
When I start QCad it is under 6MB, but with this file, which is large at 74MB DXF, (but saved with QCad, it is about 51MB), it uses about 540 MB of ram. It takes a long time to load, and is very slow to zoom in.
In other applications, such as AutoCad, or Bentley Viewer and similar, it loads to look like this;
http://www.bilder-upload.eu/show.php?fi ... NpVDJH.jpg
The drawing is a Local Government Authority with all roads, property boundaries and parking signs and lines. I do know that this drawing has been worked on by some that have been using it to teach themselves AutoCad, and have not had a good understanding of what they are doing. Therefore they have even drawn parking signs in curves rather than making them blocks and perhaps using xref, though I think I read that QCad doesn't sit well with xref.
I'm a newbie at this as well, but it looks fairly easy to draw or cut and paste simple stuff like parking signs etc, and hopefully list the assets at some point.
The problem is that this is a large file that opens up looking like a tiny object in a huge model space, and is very laggy. It takes 10 to 15 seconds to select a tool, though this improves after I have zoomed right in, but it takes a lifetime to zoom in.
I tried changing the default drawing setting from meters to millimeters to match the default app settings, saving and reopening, but it made no difference.
Can anyone help?

(Some two years in the making, or at least it took almost that long for the KVA to post on their website the "Programs for the Year" for Kansas State volleyball. So - its better late than never to give these gals and their coaches credit.)
The Kansas Volleyball association recently announced that the 43-2 St. John-Hudson Tigers and their head coach Trish Wade have been awarded the 2011-2012 1A Volleyball Program of the year. In doing so the Lady Tigers had to defeat perrenial power, the Centralia Panthers in the championship final - and so they did 25-21, 23-25, 25-12. This was the second State Championship in a row for the Tigers who earlier captured the 2010-2011 championship.
Criteria for "Program of the Year" follows seven steps: 1.)current year record and finish, 2.)repetitive success, 3.)improvement of existing program, 4.)junior varsity/underclassmen success, 5.)professional development, 6.)contributions to the improvement of volleyball and 7.)personal coaching improvement.
A school/or program is ineligible for a period of four years after being named "Program of the year".
A team from each of the six classes from 1A-6A is selected each year.
This is the first time that St. John-Hudson has been selected for this honor.

I guess you're not a fan of his recorded work. Even if that's the case, I think he is one of the most captivating live performers in indie-hop. When he played the SFR Basement Show last year, he had the crowd eating out of his hand. Ceschi has some special things going on. Lots of weapons at his disposal. That dude's the real deal.

Definition of soviet in English:
1An elected local, district, or national council in the former Soviet Union.
Example sentences
- Legislative power, for its part, was vested in the USSR Supreme Soviet and in the constituent soviets of the republics.
- It was only during the Gorbachev era that a pyramid of councils, or soviets, from the central authority to those at local village and neighborhood level, were given anything more than a symbolic or ritualistic role.
- By mistake, an order from the Petrograd Soviet establishing its authority over the Petrograd garrison was sent to the whole army, with the result that officers had to consult local soldiers' soviets before giving orders.
1.1A revolutionary council of workers or peasants in Russia before 1917.
Example sentences
- Lenin's State and Revolution champions the soviets, or workers' councils, created spontaneously during the 1905 revolution in Russia, as the basis for a future workers' state.
- In 1905 the mass strike led to the creation of soviets - workers' councils that began to discuss and organise every aspect of life. They offered a new form of power to set against the present way things are run.
- Highly democratic workers' councils, known as soviets, sprung up in workplaces and the army.
2 (Soviet) A citizen of the former Soviet Union.
Example sentences
- Nor can we be said to have pure capitalism anymore than the Soviets had pure communism.
- After the war the Soviets moved in and signs of its Communist past still exist in its many tower blocks.
- Canada was a prime target for the Soviets because of its energy links to the U.S.
Of or concerning the former Soviet Union.
Example sentences
- Instead, Ivan's hero status affords him special privileges in Soviet society.
- Gorbachev had hoped to achieve a restructuring of Soviet society and especially of the communist party.
- The issue is further complicated by the lack of regulation on property rights in Soviet times.
- Example sentences
- To the extent that the new system had enjoyed some popular legitimacy, this was soon dissipated by the brutality of the dictatorship, a decline in the standard of living, and suppression of nationalism in favor of Sovietization.
- Yet Sovietization of Eastern Europe took place not during the 1930s Great Depression and fascist militarism, but during the post-war capitalist boom and deployment of comprehensive welfare states.
- Modernization, Sovietization, and the introduction of western culture have altered some traditional ways, and others have lost prominence because of the proliferation of urban centers.
- Example sentences
- The party-state approached this task by positing that the new retail system would serve as a mechanism for Sovietizing people, that is, for incorporating them into the social order and introducing them to socialist values.
Early 20th century: from Russian sovet 'council'.

A good dog harness can be worth a million dollars!
Dog Harnesses
There are many reasons that a dog harness could be a better fit for your dog than a dog collar. Some dogs need a bit of extra help win learning to walk with a leash; other dogs pull and tug too much on their leashes, causing a conventional dog collar to be dangerous. There are many dogs that have the tendency to slip out of their dog collars or simply just do not like to wear a collar. The answer is a quality dog harness from Poochie Heaven.
Poochie Heaven has every kind of dog harness you many need, including small dog harnesses, large dog harnesses, designer harnesses and leather harnesses. These dog harnesses or dog vest will look and feel great, as they are made from high quality and durable materials, such as a leather dog harness, with your dog's needs in mind. Choose from a wide variety of harnesses to choose the design that is right for you and your dog. Choose from fun and flashy design patterns, to a more discrete dog harness style.
Dog trainers often use dog harnesses because a dog harness allows you to have better control over the dog. When you pull a dog by a collar, their reaction is often to fight back against the pulling on their neck. When you pull on a dog wearing a harness, their entire center of gravity is pulled into the right direction, and they do not feel the same desire to pull and tug. If you have a dog that tends to pull and fight the leash, using a traditional collar can be very harmful to their neck, and possibly cause serious harm. A dog harness distributes any tension throughout the dog's entire body, which is much safer for the dog. A small dog harness can be a lifesaver for those dogs that have sensitive tracheas and cannot have a dog collar rubbing against it.
Dogs love to be touched and feel closeness, and a dog harness often gives dogs a feeling of enclosure and security that can have a very calming effect, making your outings much more enjoyable. There is a reason that dog harnesses are so widely used among dog trainers: dog harnesses are one of the easiest ways to have better, safer, and more control over your dog, in order to bring out the best behavior possible.

Yarn Profile: Jo Sharp DK
First Impressions
Jo Sharp's designs are alive with color, and this yarn reflects that with more than 52 colors. For this review I chose a chestnut brown with hints of olive green, yellow, and light orange.
Knitting Up
There's nothing to snag or twist or otherwise get in the way, because the yarn has been double-combed to eliminate short fibers. I gathered steam quickly. Stitches appeared well-defined and even.
Blocking / Washing
There was no stretching, bleeding, fading, pilling, or anything. Lifting them out of the water, I saw beautiful, flat, solid squares of fabric.
Sure enough, the solidity of the first swatches gave way to a much softer, more pliable fabric in those that had been washed more frequently. The added softness wasn't the result of any fiber degradation, mind you, but rather from an overall relaxing of the material, making it much more pleasant to touch.
If you like the yarn, you won't have any trouble finding a good pattern for it. Jo Sharp provides a huge variety of patterns for almost every skillset, from simple two-color pullovers to insanely complicated color patterns and Arans. And if those don't float your boat, check out the Cider House Rules pullover pattern in the Fall 2000 issue of Interweave Knits.
Previous reader comments
"Regarding the Jo Sharp yarn: If I had to pick only one yarn for the rest of my life, it would be Jo Sharp. The yarn does not fray while knitting, its feel while knitting is luxurious, and the finished garment has very little pilling. This is due to the spinning process where the short fibers are removed. And the colors!"pschu10275, 7/27/2001

Second title in Toronto
Roger has passed another milestone - clinching his 40th career title and 11th in the Masters Series. He also won his 54th straight match and ninth championship in North America since 2004 by capturing the title of the Rogers Cup for the second time. He rallied past Richard Gasquet 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 in Sunday's final in Toronto.
"I just always believe that I can turn any match around," Roger said. "That's what happened today. I know that once I turn it around, once I would take the lead then it would be very difficult for my opponent. That's what I always tell myself. Maybe it's an illusion sometimes, but it definitely works", he analysed - now standing at 62-4 this season.
Gasquet was bidding to become the first French winner in the tournament's 125-year history. He beat Roger last year in Monte Carlo but has since lost five straight against him, including four this year. Unseeded Gasquet started well by breaking Roger twice to claim the first set. Roger then started the second set 0-40 on serve but came back to hold and break Gasquet in the next game. The world No. 1 soon led 3-0 and held firm.
"I couldn't believe I started the second set so bad," Roger said. "Because that's the key moment of the match. But at the same time by giving yourself a love-40 you can also take away his confidence by coming back in that game and winning that game. Make him start doubting himself like that was maybe his big opportunity."
Gasquet agreed: "I know with Roger, when you have some chances you have to do it".
* Roger moved into joint second place on the list of all-time ATP Masters Series titles winners (since 1990) when he withstood a blistering opening from Richard Gasquet to win the Rogers Masters 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.
* The ATP World No. 1's 11th career ATP Masters Series shield ties him with Pete Sampras in second place behind Andre Agassi, who owns 17 shields.
* Roger extended his Masters Series dominance along with Rafael Nadal. The players have now won 13 of the past 15 ATP Masters Series Shields (neither player competed in the two events won by other players since the start of 2005).
* Roger, who turned 25 Tuesday, has now reached the final in his last 17 tournaments dating back to June 2005 at Halle. That streak is the second-best of the Open Era behind Ivan Lendl's 18 straight finals in 1981-82.
* Roger becomes the new leader of the US Open Series Lever 2000 Challenge standings.
* The last time Roger failed to reach a final was at Roland Garros last year when he lost in the semifinals to Rafael Nadal. He has now reached the final of his past seven ATP Masters Series events, winning five shields. He has won nine of the past 13 ATP Masters Series tournaments he has played.
* In the first set a free-swing Gasquet broke Roger two consecutive times to race to a 5-1 lead as he stunned the World No. 1 with a series of backhand winners.
* Roger fell behind 0/40 in the first game of the second set but rallied to hold serve and then broke Gasquet for the first time in the next game. Federer saved two more break points at 15/40 in the next game to go ahead 3-0.
* In the third set the score was level at 2-2 before Roger broke Gasquet twice in succession to break open the match.
* This Roger is 62-4 on the season, including 7-4 in finals, with all four losses coming to Nadal. He won the 40th title of his career, now sporting a 40-13 record in finals. He has garnered at least seven crowns in each of the past three years - seven in 2003, 11 each in '04, '05 and now seven in 2006.
Roger now journeys to Cincinnati, where he suffered his most recent loss on North American hard courts two years ago in the first round against Dominik Hrbaty.
* During that streak, he has won nine titles -- the US Open and Tennis Masters Cup in Houston in 2004, Indian Wells, Miami, Cincinnati, and the US Open in 2005 and Indian Wells, Miami and Toronto this year.
* Roger was playing his first tournament since winning Wimbledon on July 9 and now has a 18-match winning streak. Roger is 84-2 on hard courts over 2005-06, going 50-1 last season and 34-1 thus far this year.
* He clinched his second Canadian title. In 2004, he captured the Toronto crown over Roddick. Roger has a career record of 15-3 in this tournament.
* Gasquet is on a hot streak, winning 15 of his past 18 matches to recover from a 7-13 start to the season.
* He played his third ATP final of the year - all of them in the past two months. He won both previous finals: capturing the titles at Nottingham in June (d. Bjorkman) and Gstaad in July (d. Lopez).
* Gasquet was playing in his second ATP Masters Series final. He was runner-up at Hamburg last May to Roger. The last Frenchman to win an ATP Masters Series title was Sebastien Grosjean in 2001 in Paris.
* This is the sixth final of Gasquet's ATP career. He has won three titles - the two this year and one last year at Nottingham (d. Mirnyi).
you now have equalled 11 masters with pete sampras.

Roasting Pans: Turkey Roasters and Turkey Pans
The circle of savory goodness in your kitchen often begins and ends with the proper roaster. When succulent meats, fresh veggies and fragrant herbs are roasted to perfection the roasting pan drippings can then be deglazed or used to make gravies and stock bases that are packed with intense flavors. Nurse your stock properly in one of our stock pots by simmering it slowly and adding seasonings to taste as it develops. Use your custom stock in soups, sauces and stews and baste your roasting meats with it. Freeze the stock into cubes, and then place in freezer bags to add as needed to chili, marinara or stew.
Covered roasters are great tools at holiday time since they cook hams and turkeys and keep them moist too. Wild game is another dish that is enhanced by being marinated and then roasted with a cover to help keep in juices. Attractive roasters go from oven to table with no need for extra serving dishes but order decorative and sturdy trivets for table protection. Several trivets may be needed for large roasters. If you regularly cook jumbo birds or cuts of meat for crowds you should order the deepest, largest roasters available. Flared roasters offer even more room for large poultry. Order rack inserts with handles to raise meat up from juices and to help serve it after it's roasted to perfection. Take your stocks and roasting to the next level with copper roasters and cookware from Williams-Sonoma that are elegant and full of superior cooking qualities.
