Billy Joel All About Soul Lyrics
Last updated: 08/02/2013 07:14:09 AM
She waits for me at night
She waits for me in silence
She gives me all her tenderness
and takes away my pain
And so far she hasn't run
though I swear she's had her moments
She still believes in miracles
while others cry in vain
It's all about soul
It's all about faith and a deeper devotion
It's all about soul
'Cause under the love is a stronger emotion
She's got to be strong
'Cause so many things getting out of control
Should drive her away, so why does she stay?
It's all about soul
She turns to me sometimes
and she asks me what I'm dreaming
And I realize I must have gone a million miles away
And I ask her how she knew to reach out for me at that moment
And she smiles because it's understood there are no words to say
It's all about soul
It's all about knowing what someone is feeling
The woman's got soul
The power of love and the power of healing
This life isn't fair
It's gonna get dark, it's gonna get cold
You've got to get tough, but that ain't enough
It's all about soul
Na na na na na na na
It's all about soul
Na na na na na na na
Yes it is
Na na na na na na na
It's all about soul
There are people who have lost
every trace of human kindness
There are many who have fallen
there are some who still survive
And she comes to me at night
and she tells me her desires
And she gives me all the love I need to keep my faith alive
It's all about soul
It's all about joy that comes out of sorrow
It's all about soul
Who's standing now and who's standing tomorrow
You've got to be hard
As hard as the rock in that old rock'n'roll
But that's only part, you know in your heart
It's all about soul
Oh yeah
Na na na na na na na
It's all about soul
Na na na na na na na
Yes it is

Horton Hatches the Egg
by Dr. Seuss
Horton Hatches the Egg Lines 32-45 Summary
Practical Matters
- Realizing that he "must weigh a ton" (36), Horton decides that his first plan of action is to reinforce the trunk of the nest-bearing tree.
- That done, he climbs up the tree—with utmost care—and parks himself gently on top of Mayzie's egg.
- And then he does the only thing there is to do when brooding an egg. He sits.

Will Blockbuster Be Dish's Waterloo?
It's time for rationalizations!
Dish Network in the wee hours clinched a deal to buy Blockbuster out of bankruptcy protection. What will a satellite-television company do with a video rental chain? That's what Deal Journal wants to know, too.
There are plenty of mumbles about Dish pushing a Blockbuster competitor to Netflix, or using Blockbuster's online video services to tempt more satellite-TV customers, but the reality is Dish has made a bet on Blockbuster — admittedly, a relatively inexpensive one at $320 million — and time will tell if the bet will pay off.
"Investors will, no doubt, squint and see connections (hey, it's all video entertainment!)," said the cold-water dousing Craig Moffett, from Bernstein Research. "For us, however, the deal is strategically puzzling." He says Blockbuster, which is rapidly losing revenue, could begin to drain Dish's cash flow.
Moffett also helpfully pulls together two quotes from two media companies trying to justify their head-scratching deals:
"With its more than 1,700 store locations, a highly recognizable brand and multiple methods of delivery, Blockbuster will complement our existing video offerings while presenting cross-marketing and service extension opportunities for Dish Network." – Dish Network press release announcing the acquisition of Blockbuster, April 6, 2011
"…We see this as a wonderful fit. [It] presents a multitude of opportunities: to provide consumers with additional quality content on multiple platforms; expand advertising opportunities for both entities; and attract a larger audience than either company could on its own." – Cablevision press release announcing the acquisition of Newsday, May 12, 2008
Cable operator Cablevision in 2008 agreed to buy control of Newsday, a daily newspaper in New York's Long Island, in a deal worth about $650 million. (Full disclosure: Wall Street Journal owner News Corp. lost a bid to buy Newsday.)
At the time of the deal, Cablevision and optimistic analysts said that Cablevision could use Newsday to sell more subscriptions to TV-service, and TV customers could be pitched offers for the newspaper. Newsday would also gave Cablevision, already a dominant force on Long Island, a firmer stranglehold over local advertising revenue
How has that idea panned out? Well, the newspaper business has been a tough slog the past three years for almost everyone, and Newsday has been no exception. Newsday posted operating losses of $12.6 million for last year and for 2009, Cablevision said, and a $403 million loss in the back half of 2008. That figure includes Cablevision's write down of Newsday's value.

Definition of cribriform in English:
Denoting an anatomical structure that is pierced by numerous small holes, in particular the plate of the ethmoid bone through which the olfactory nerves pass.
Example sentences
- Olfactory nerve fibers enter the cranial cavity through foramina in the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone and synapse on neurons in the olfactory bulb.
- On each side of the groove the dura is rough, because of its attachment to the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone and because it is pierced by numerous olfactory nerve bundles.
- Turner 18 worked with neurovirulent strains of vaccinia virus and has already suggested that infection of the central nervous system could occur directly via the nasal mucosa and cribriform plate.
Mid 18th century: from Latin cribrum 'sieve' + -iform.

From the moment she took the job nearly three years ago, Oakland City Administrator Deanna Santana's days were numbered.
A no-nonsense professional who tried to restore fiscal reality in the East Bay's largest city, Santana worked for a mayor, Jean Quan, who wanted to bury her head in the sand.
While Quan last month emphasized that revenues were expected to surpass projections by more than $18 million this fiscal year, Santana focused on the $28 million projected shortfall at the end of next year, $241 million imbalance the following year and $292 million deficit in fiscal year 2017-18.
While Quan made one-line mention that the city faces unfunded pension and retiree health liabilities, without specifying the magnitude, Santana was quick to peg retirement debt at approximately $1.5 billion. In fact, it exceeds $2 billion.
While Quan and the City Council rewarded politically powerful unions, Santana put out budget forecasts showing Oakland couldn't afford the latest labor agreements.
The mayor remains focused on preserving her political career, even if it means using misleading and false statistics. She puts bunting on the sinking financial ship rather than trying to bail and fix the huge leaks.
That wasn't Santana's style. She had higher standards. She wanted to right the vessel and put it back on course. "Tremendous challenges are still ahead and require financial planning on the part of the city," she wrote in a December memo.
But Quan never plans. She works day to day, placing politics above hard, long-range policy choices. More than three years into her term, and facing re-election this year, Quan still hasn't put forth a proposal for repairing the city's gaping financial hole.
City residents don't feel safe. In a poll last fall, 69 percent of likely voters identified crime as the worst thing about living in Oakland. Calls to the city's 911 system go unanswered. Yet Quan has no plans for restoring the police force to full strength. She just muddles along.
Whether Santana saw the writing on the walls or simply couldn't stomach it anymore, we don't know. She says she didn't want to get embroiled in this year's election so she started looking elsewhere, seeking city manager jobs in Dallas and Phoenix.
She was a finalist for each, but failed to win either post. In the process, she sealed her inevitable fate here. As of this week, she's out and her deputy, Fred Blackwell, was selected by the mayor as the replacement.
As long as Quan remains at the helm, it's doubtful we will see change.

Last week was an incredible week with Sam Shepard – you know, Sam Shepard who forever changed the way we think about American storytelling with five decades and counting of mind- and heart-bending plays, music, poetry, and prose – yes, that Sam Shepard. My staff and I welcomed Magic Theatre's most beloved son back to the home he built here on the Bay with his premieres of Buried Child, True West, Tongues, and Fool for Love. Last Monday, Sam shared an unforgettable evening of his work with a packed house, on the same stage he made many of his seminal works some thirty years ago. As he quietly and hauntingly read Wesley's astounding monologue from Curse of the Starving Class, I was reminded of why we are drawn again and again to the mysterious, visceral, and communal rites of theater.
This event kicked off a long time dream of mine, to host a five year Magic SHEPARDING AMERICA celebration which will re-imagine work from Shepard's vast cannon, in tandem with developing and producing Sam's new work with him at our side. These productions will be interwoven in our seasons with premieres from other vibrant emerging and mid-career writers who clearly have Shepard's DNA coursing through their own work. Next season's installment will feature a Bay Area Birthday Bash which begins in September 2013 with our revival of Buried Child and will include productions and festivities through March 2014 along side our colleagues at Word for Word, Intersection for the Arts/Campo Santo, Crowded Fire, and ACT. On November 5th, Sam's 70th Birthday, we're going to host a 24 hour Shepard marathon.
His big birthday was the last thing we spoke of as we said goodbye. "Maybe we can have cake," he said with a mischievous grin, "Let's have our cake and eat it too." Indeed.

WebMD Answers
Avoidance of identified allergens is the most helpful factor in controlling allergy symptoms. Attempts to control the environment and avoidance measures often significantly aid in resolving symptoms. However, allergy avoidance is often not easy. A thorough discussion with your physician is needed, and control measures may be required daily.
If avoidance is not possible or does not relieve symptoms, additional treatment is needed. Many patients respond to medications that combat the effects of histamine, known as antihistamines. Antihistamines do not stop the formation of histamine, nor do they stop the conflict between the IgE and antigen. Therefore, antihistamines do not stop the allergic reaction but rather protect tissues from the effects of the allergic response.
The first-generation antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl), chlorpheniramine (Chlortrimaton), dimenhydrinate (Dramamine), brompheniramine (Dimetapp and others), clemastine fumarate (Tavist, Allerhist), and dexbrompheniramine (Drixoral) frequently cause mouth dryness and sleepiness. Newer, so-called "non-sedating" or second-generation antihistamines are also available. These include loratadine (Claritin), fexofenadine (Allegra), cetirizine (Zyrtec), and azelastine (Astelin Nasal Spray). In general, this group of antihistamines is more expensive, has a slower onset of action, is longer acting, and induces less sleepiness. Discuss with your physician other antihistamine side effects that very occasionally occur (for example, urine retention in males, fast heart rate, and others). You should always discuss the potential side effects of any medication with your physician and/or pharmacist.
Decongestants help control allergy symptoms but not their causes. Decongestants shrink the swollen membranes in the nose and make it easier to breathe. Decongestants can be taken orally or by nasal spray. Decongestant nasal sprays should not be used for more than five days without a doctor's advice, and if so, usually only when accompanied by a nasal steroid. Decongestant nasal sprays often cause a so-called "rebound effect" if taken for too long. A rebound effect is the worsening of symptoms when a drug is discontinued. This is a result of a tissue dependence on the medication.
Some people with allergies need specialized prescription medications such as corticosteroids, cromolyn, and ipratropium (Atropine-like) nasal sprays. These nasal sprays do not cause the rebound effect noticed with decongestant nasal sprays. Cortisone nasal sprays are very effective in reducing the inflammation which causes swelling, sneezing, and a runny nose. Cortisone can also stop the allergy "war" by halting the formation of the many allergy chemicals. Many cortisone nasal sprays are on the market through prescription only. Fluticasone (Flonase) is one example, but many preparations are available.
Cromolyn is also an anti-inflammatory medication. Although cromolyn is not as potent as cortisone, it has a very safe profile. Cromolyn must be used well in advance of anticipated allergy symptoms to be useful. Ipratropium nasal spray is available for drying a wet runny nose. It will not prevent allergic reactions. This is an atropine derivative and although it is usually very safe, a person sensitive to atropine should be cautious when taking this drug.
If antihistamines and nasal sprays are not effective or not tolerated by the patient, other modalities of therapy are available. Allergy desensitization or immunotherapy may be needed. Allergy immunotherapy stimulates the immune system with gradually increasing doses of the substances to which a person is allergic. Since the patient is being exposed to the allergy-inducing substance, an allergic reaction can occur, and this treatment should be supervised by an allergy specialist. Although the exact way allergy desensitization works is not completely known, allergy injections appear to modify or stop the allergy "war" by reducing the strength of the IgE and its effect on the mast cells. This form of treatment is very effective for allergies to pollen, mites, cats, and especially stinging insects (for example, bees). Allergy immunotherapy usually requires a series of injections and takes three months to one year to become effective. The required length of treatment may vary, but three years is a typical course. Frequent office visits are necessary.
The success rate of an allergy desensitization program in significantly reducing symptoms can be up to about 80%. The duration of the effect of allergy immunotherapy should last many years, if not a lifetime. Although rare (1 in 2 to 5 million injections given), serious allergy reactions can occur while receiving allergy injections. One cannot predict who will have a severe reaction. Even after years of receiving allergy shots, a patient can experience a reaction.

This California native is a low growing, late summer bloomer that shines when much of the garden is quiet. It works well in the front of a low water perennial bed or native plant border.
Calfornia aster looks better if regularly deadheaded. After it is done blooming in the fall, we recommend shearing it back to to the ground to keep a tidy look in the garden. The plant will cheerfully return when winter is over.
California aster was a new plant in the Palo Alto Demonstration Garden and we found that it spread very rapidly even without supplemental water. We have removed it from the native plant bed. It might work better in a situation where a rapidly spreading plant is needed for erosion control rather than in a small, mixed perennial bed.

Seven people, including at least one child, were taken to area hospitals after a two-vehicle accident that shut down the westbound lanes of the Bush Turnpike at Preston Road for about an hour Saturday night.
The nature of the injuries was not known, but no fatalities were reported.
A Chevy pickup was traveling west in the center lane about 7:30 p.m. when it slowed down for an unknown reason, Texas Department of Safety spokesman Lonny Haschel said.
The driver of a Kia behind the pickup apparently had become distracted and was unable to avoid hitting the truck, Haschel said.
Six people were in the Kia. Five were taken to Medical Center of Plano, and a child who was in a safety seat was taken to Children's Medical Center Dallas.
One person was in the pickup and was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital.

About the Book
World War I Battlefield nurse Bess Crawford's career is in jeopardy when a murder is committed on her watch, in this absorbing and atmospheric historical mystery from New York Times bestselling author Charles Todd.
Home on leave, Bess Crawford is asked to accompany a wounded soldier confined to a wheelchair to Buckingham Palace, where he's to be decorated by the King. The next morning when Bess goes to collect Wilkins, he has vanished. Both the Army and the nursing service hold Bess negligent for losing the war hero, and there will be an inquiry.
Then comes disturbing word from the Shropshire police, complicating the already difficult situation: Wilkins has been spotted, and he's killed a man. If Bess is to save her own reputation, she must find Wilkins and uncover the truth. But the elusive soldier has disappeared again and even the Shropshire police have lost him. Suddenly, the moral implications of what has happened—that a patient in her charge has committed murder—become more important to Bess than her own future. She's going to solve this mysterious puzzle, but righting an injustice and saving her honor may just cost Bess her life.
World War I battlefield nurse Bess Crawford's career and life are in jeopardy when a murder is committed on her watch.
Arriving in London on leave, Bess Crawford receives an unusual summons from the War Office. She's to accompany a wounded soldier from a northern clinic, Sergeant Jason Wilkins, to Buckingham Palace. Confined to a wheelchair, the soldier will be in her care for barely a day. But the morning after the ceremony, Wilkins is missing. Bess is blamed for losing the war hero.
More disturbing news complicates her difficult situation! The Army considers Wilkins a deserter, and Scotland Yard questions her when Wilkins is suspected of killing a man.
If Bess is to clear her name, she must prove that she was never his accomplice. But the sergeant has disappeared yet again. Carefully questioning unhelpful villagers, Bess and her friend, Simon, follow a trail of clues across England. But will uncovering the truth and saving her honor put more innocent people in jeopardy?

I wanted to make this recipe http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Pepper-Jack-Chicken-Pasta
but Ingles did not have the Nacho Cheese soup. All they had was the cheddar. Although it says you can substitute that for the Nacho soup, I just don't think it would be the same. I did buy some Cabot's Pepper Jack cheese. How much do you think I could add or sub for. Maybe 3/4 of the soup amount and about 2-3 oz. of pepper jack cheese?I'm sure some of you have some great advice/ideas for this.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Now, I'm just guessing but I would use all the Cheddar cheese soup and maybe add about 3/4 to 1 cup of shredded Pepper Jack cheese.At that point, you should be able to tell if you need more Pepper Jack cheese or not. We love cheese so I'd probably add a little more - LOL. Good luck. Sounds like a yummy recipe.

Proud Volunteer Field Editor for Taste of Home for 18 years.Multiple contest winner.
MM, I made this with 1/2 the soup and 4 oz. of pepper jack cheese (50% red. fat). Trying to watch my calories/fat/etc....
It was good. It was not spicy at all, so I decided to add some bit of chopped jalepeno's that I had. That helped to spice it up a bit.
I found the Fiesta Nacho soup at Publix! So, I'll try it again with that soup.
I also would add the whole can of soup and I agree with Joan re"adding 3/4 - 1 cup Pepper jack cheese. I would probably JMO like to add a little Taco saesoning too.

fallujah fight
I have been watching this Fallujah business fairly intently over the past few days and this is another example of failing to perceive the nature of the conflict. The news and the military are speaking of the insurgent effort fighting a last ditch effort in Fallujah. This is only partially true. I believe that the military will discover shortly that there was nowhere close to the 3000 militants in Fallujah that they projected. It will be no more than a few hundred. The various terrorist organizations have arranged for a small portion of fighters to make a symbolic last stand in Fallujah. The majority of these groups have already departed the city to find new havens throughout Iraq or beyond her borders. From those martyred in Fallujah perhaps three times that number will spring up elsewhere, inspired by the valiant fatalistic stand against hopeless odds. Islam, like most religions, is very susceptible to fatalism. What I think is more interesting is the developing attitudes on both sides. On the eve of the assault the residents and militants within Fallujah were heard chanting "God is great" amid the artillery strikes and aerial bombing. This is not surprising, of course. On the outside of the cordon similar activity was taking place. A Marine commander exhorted his troops saying, "The enemy has got a face. He's called Satan. He lives in Falluja. And we're going to destroy him." (BBC News) Though this is but anecdote, I think it demonstrates an important point. The U.S. is in an ideological fight. If the political authorities refuse to color it that way, the soldiers themselves will. Ideology breeds ideology and asymmetrical warfare is always a temporary condition.

Today's Reading
Zech 2:5-9, 14-15a
The early chapters of
were written by a contemporary of Haggai.
Today's reading shows us a man measuring Jerusalem's size. An angel tells the prophet that measurements are irrelevant, so big will the city become. The Lord Himself will be her defense and her glory. "I am coming to dwell among you," says the Lord. "I will be a wall of fire around you and glory within you. People from all nations will associate themselves with you."
Zechariah prophesies a great future for Israel. Things may not now be everything they were, but they are not yet everything they will be. God has plans for His people.
God has plans for us, too. The Lord will come in glory. We have to be ready.

The 2005 Orange Beach, Gulf State Park and Gulf Shores Restoration Project is a comprehensive beach nourishment program that is being done to restore more than 15 miles of beaches along Alabama's coastline. The project area was badly damaged during Hurricane Ivan in September of last year. Sand for the beach restoration project is obtained from areas located offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. Work began in mid-February and will continue until after Labor Day in September.

Dietary Advisory Committee: American Public Overweight, Undernourished
You probably didn't need a government-appointed panel to tell you that the majority of Americans are overweight or obese. It's with that reality in mind, however, that the 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee — a panel of independent experts that makes recommendations for the nutritional guidance issued by the government every five years — has issued its report.
Given the extent of our national fatitude, the report emphasizes "a total diet that is energy balanced." That means that the calories you take in shouldn't exceed what you burn off. And the diet should be "nutrient dense," since many of us miss out on key nutrients because we're too busy putting away foods heavy in added sugars and solid fats. Those two nutritional bugaboos, cleverly nicknamed SoFAS, alone make up 35% of the calories in the average American's diet. We also eat too much sodium and too many refined grains, the report says, and not enough vegetables, fruits, high-fiber whole grains, low-fat milk products and seafood.
Here's some other nuggets from the report (which, as NYU nutrition prof Marion Nestle points out on her Food Politics blog, is advisory and so isn't necessarily adopted verbatim by the HHS and USDA):
- People are advised to shift their eating pattern to something "more-plant based" that emphasizes veggies, cooked dry beans and peas, fruits, whole grains, nuts and seeds.
- Whatever kind of dietary pattern people follow, people should consume "only moderate amounts of lean meats, poultry, and eggs." (It will be interesting to see if this recommendation makes it into the final recs, given the USDA's mission to promote U.S. agriculture.)
- People tend to focus on what ratio of carbs to protein to fat they should be eating, but the real problem is "the over-consumption of total calories coupled with very low physical activity and too much sedentary time."
- Mindful eating — which the WSJ wrote about in 2008 — gets a thumbs-up in the report for helping people control their weight. So does self-monitoring, or being aware of how many calories you're putting away each day.
- A daily multivitamin/mineral supplement "does not offer health benefits to healthy Americans" but can help people with known deficiencies of things such as iron or calcium.
- Saturated fat should make up no more than 7% of daily calories; sub in mono-or polyunsaturated fats instead. (Here's the Health Blog's recent look at the sat fat issue.)
- We should be aiming for no more than 1,500 mg per day of sodium rather than 2,300 mg, given that 70% of Americans fall into the high-risk category for high blood pressure (or already have it) … but it's okay to phase out salt gradually, given that it's so hard to change our taste for the stuff.
- The health benefits of cooked seafood (at least 12 ounces per week) outweigh the risks from mercury and other contaminants, provided that people "pay attention to local seafood advisories and limit their intake of large, predatory fish."
We will be waiting with keen anticipatory pleasure for the final dietary guidelines, due at the end of the year.

I've been planning on upgrading from the older WordPress 1.5.X series to 2.X series one of these days. However, I'm attached to something I can easily do in the old version that's hard for me to figure out in the new version. Here's a piece of code that echoes in the administration panel of the older version just fine.
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $post->post_content);
echo $content;
The problem is that the newer version of WordPress echoes the post content without paragraph or break marks! As near as I can tell from searching and reading this is because the filter being applied is priority 10 instead of priority 11. Whatever that means!
Is there any 'simple' way that I can alter the above code to have $content echo with html paragraph marks and line breaks?

Click to join small_planetarium
a 3 meter dome
Ici version française
Abstract: to manufacture a microplanétarium (dome between 1 and 3 meter), it is necessary to project on the aforementioned cupola, an image manufactured by a PC, the software Stellarium and projected with an ordinary videoprojector.
1° images of the realization: dome out of paperboard of 1,2 meters
2° elements
Stellarium Software: To download urgently if you do not know. Moreover, it is free! a relatively recent and fast graphics board is necessary to use technology OpenGl http://www.stellarium.org/index.html
Videoprojector: in this test, 2 projectors gave satifaction: the model commercial Infocus x1a, and model DIY, standard retrotft (Allinbox philosophy)
Dome: mainly out of paperboard
3° comments and limits of the system
the placement of the public is carried out not as in a traditional planetarium, but rather as for a traditional diaporama, by paying attention not to be interposed on the way of the luminous rays an interesting property of the videoprojector allows the clear manufacture of an image on a dome (depth of field)
the size of the dome of projection is limited by several factors:
If one wants to use the entirety of the dome, the extrèmes left and right edge can be deformed (stars in the shape of features). It is easy to correct this problem by projecting a circle slightly smaller than the dome.
According to the slope of the dome and the presence of a close ceiling, a part of the image can be projected out of the dome; with a projector "house" using an overhead projector, it is easy to remove this nuisance using a mask out of paperboard which one poses on a part of TFT.
4° conclusion
This first test is encouraging. it shows that it is possible for a club or a private individual to manufacture a small planetarium at a reasonable cost. the certainly limited resolution is partly compensated by the wide functionalities which proposes the Stellarium software. If you have already of a PC and a projector, the experiment is not very expensive and deserves to be tried.

Press Release
Xcluder, Rodent Barrier, Pest Barrier, Press Release
Xcluder, the permanent rodent and pest barrier preferred by pest control professionals around the world, is now available for do-it-yourselfers. This easy-to-install fabric, placed in crevices, holes, spaces and around pipes inside and outside the home to create a permanent barrier against rats, mice and other pests, offers consumers a long-term, permanent solution with effectiveness unmatched in the industry.
From single-family homes and apartments to condos and commercial buildings, controlling rats, mice and other pests is a reality faced by consumers nationwide. Rodents can enter a building through an opening as small as 1/4 inch, and professionals agree that exclusion – creating physical barriers against rodents and pests to prevent them from entering a home or building – is more effective than attempting to remove them once they have taken up residence. Now, Xcluder is putting this expertise in the hands of do-it-yourselfers.
"Most rodents enter structures from the exterior and once inside they attempt to spread from location to location to find food, warmth and shelter," said Austin Frishman, Ph. D., President of AMF Pest Management Services. "The foundation of any successful rodent management program is to keep rodents out of where people reside. We call it rodent stoppage. Rodent stoppage is the most economical and effective step in a pest management program. It is essential to keep new rodents from invading and proper exclusion methods provide immediate and long-term positive results for the home and property owner."
Xcluder's patented combination of stainless steel and poly-fiber is the most durable and cost-effective exclusion product available to consumers. Steel wool can rust and degrade over time. Foam can be gnawed away easily by even the smallest of rodents. Xcluder will not rust, is easy to install, and compresses during installation to 'spring back' once in place to create a more effective seal.
Xcluder is made in America. It contains no harmful chemicals and is completely safe to use around people, pets and plants.
"For years pest professionals have trusted Xcluder as a long-term solution to stop rodents and pests in their tracks before they can enter a home or building," said Paul Bonn, Business Manager, Xcluder. "We're thrilled to bring this industry know-how to property owners and offer do-it-yourselfers a superior, cost-effective pest control solution."
The Xcluder DIY Kit is available online at www.buyxcluder.com for $9.99 plus shipping and features four pieces of Xcluder material – one 8.5" x 4", one 8.5" x 2", and two 8.5" x 1". The kit also includes sheers, protective neoprene gloves and easy-to-follow installation instructions.

Archbishop Mitty has sure made a statement since its lone softball loss of the season, to Valley Christian in late April.
The Monarchs beat their West Catholic Athletic League rival to win the league's regular-season and postseason championships and then did so again Tuesday night at PAL Stadium to advance to the Central Coast Section Division II championship game.
Mitty rolled past Valley Christian 6-0 behind three triples and a home run from its offense and a two-hitter from pitcher Stephanie Kristo.
The Monarchs (29-1) will play for the title Saturday against Pioneer or Hillsdale.
"It's been definitely a revenge-type of thing, obviously," said shortstop Jazmyn Jackson, who had an inside-the-park home run. "Every team is going to have that to anyone they lose to. But, honestly, we're steadily improving, and I think that it really shows in our wins."
Mitty got all the offense it needed against ace Brynne Fitzpatrick in the second. Danielle Bowers led off with a triple to left-center, and Desiree Severance followed with a run-scoring single. Madeleine Kim's triple to left made it 2-0 and a groundout stretched the lead to 3-0.
"We had so much energy," said Bowers, who also had a double. "We knew we had to come out with more energy than the other team."
Jackson's home run in the fifth extended the lead to 4-0. Severance's sacrifice fly to center and Anissa Bonilla's triple an inning later extended the cushion to six.
Mitty struck out only once against Fitzpatrick.
San Benito 4, Leland 3: Leland nearly ended San Benito's run of eight consecutive section championships when right fielder Ally Kido threw out the go-ahead runner to end the top of the seventh and then loaded the bases in its half of the inning.
But the Haybalers dodged that threat to force extras and went on to edge Leland to advance to the CCS Division I final Saturday against Wilcox or Carlmont.
After surviving the bases-loaded jam, San Benito got a two-run home run from Adriana Ibarra and a solo shot from Callee Heen in the eighth.
Lindsey Hammond's double and Lindsey Calcany-Blair's home run that followed cut Leland's deficit to 4-3 with nobody out in the bottom of the eighth. But San Benito held off the Chargers to keep its section-title run alive.
"Leland's tough," San Benito coach Scott Smith said. "They're very well coached. I commend the girl that played right field. She hit us hard all day. She makes a tremendous throw to the plate. She throws out our fastest kid. I really was pretty nervous for us at that point."
Branham has gotten hot at the right time. The Bruins advanced to the CCS Division II championship game with a 3-1 win over Menlo School at San Jose Municipal Stadium.
Branham finished in fifth place in the Blossom Valley Athletic League Mount Hamilton Division. But the Bruins split their final regular-season series with Leigh, knocking the Longhorns out of a share of first place, then advanced to the BVAL Tournament championship game.
Add in three wins in CCS play and they've won seven of their last nine heading into Saturday's title game against St. Francis CCC, which beat Monterey 3-1.
Senior left-hander Alex Zarate went the distance to get the win over Menlo (19-13).
"We're all pulling the rope in the same direction," Zarate said.
Branham scored all of its runs in the first inning after falling behind 1-0.

text: It is in no different state that British Airways or Lufthansa were when they were privatised two decades ago. Hive off all of Air India's land, buildings and assets across the country into a separate entity, and from its sale, compensate employees with a golden handshake. The money that the government will realise from that sale will probably leave some extra cash in the treasury as Air India holds prime family silver. The airline can then be completely privatised with sustainable debt and a lean airline with operational assets necessary to run the airline will be an attractive proposition for buyers. This will stop continued bleeding and, on the contrary, government will benefit from annual revenue as against loss, as in the case of Maruti Suzuki.

Celebrating(?) the 1-Year XM-Sirius Anniversary
There are anniversaries you celebrate. Then there are anniversaries you would rather forget.
For Sirius Satellite Radio Holdings' Mel Karmazin, this week most likely falls into the latter category. After all, it was a year ago this week that Sirius and XM Satellite Radio agreed to merge and still the pair awaits regulatory approval. Just how long has the XM/Sirus deal been pending? (Well, for one, longer than Deal Journal has been in existence.) Deal Journal contacted the folks at FactSet MergerMetrics to help put in perspective just how long this deal has been blowing in the wind.
The number of transactions announced involving the full acquisition of a U.S. publicly traded company in which a definitive agreement was reached since the XM/Sirius announcement.
The number of those deals that have been completed. That includes Whole Foods's acquisition of Wild Oats, which took roughly six months and one embarrassing lawsuit by the Federal Trade Commission before it was completed.
The number of those deals still pending. That doesn't include Google's purchase of DoubleClick, another high-profile deal that received regulatory scrutiny. That deal is awaiting European regulatory approval, but received FTC approval in December.
The number of those deals that were withdrawn.
The average number of days a completed deal was pending from Feb. 20, 2007 to Feb. 20, 2008.
The number of days in took the tie up between Somanta Pharmaceuticals and Access Pharmaceuticals to be completed, the longest period a deal was pending since the XM/Sirius deal was announced.
The number of days it took Pitney Bowes $437 million acquisition of MapInfo to close, the shortest period of time a deal was pending.
The number of posts that Deal Journal has written about the XM/Sirius tie-up.
The number of comments posts on XM/Sirius have generated.
The number of deals since 2003 that were terminated due to lack of regulatory approval. (See chart below.)
And what is the perfect gift for a one-year anniversary? Well, tradition says paper. Perhaps a small communique from the Justice Department would do the trick?

The Gords Review September 17 2012
The Gords, Gord Maxwell, Gord Matthews and Gordon Lee Worden, joined by journeyman Chilliwack drummer, Jerry Adolphe performed to an enthusiastic crowd at the Kelowna Community Theatre on September 17, 2012 in support of their first full length CD, "Pick".
Although seasoned musicians who have played with some of Canada's top musical acts, including Ian Tyson, KD Lang and One Horse Blue, to name just a few, none of the Gords had much, if any experience being the "Front-man" in a group. The current tour they are on is the first time that any of them have had to carry the show in this way, and they delivered like longtime pro's. They took turns talking with the audience, telling the stories behind their song writing and providing snippets of life on the road as key members of some of Canada's most influential groups. Throughout the evening the audience gained an intimate knowledge of these three incredibly talented singer / songwriters. As a writer myself, I was really impressed by the quality of their original songs and the strength of their story telling. From the upbeat, contagious melody of "Feel At Home" to the melancholy "When Dreams Collide" that Gord Mathews wrote in the Caribbean when he was on holidays with his wife, every one of their songs felt familiar to me. Perhaps it was because of the skilled execution, or the brilliant crafting of the songs or maybe because every song they played touched a chord within me. I remember looking at my watch near the end of the show and marveling how quickly the night had flown by. It was obvious that the Gords were having fun on stage, and so was the audience. They played a lot of original material, but, also covered a few songs from their former bands, and did so with such conviction that it was hard to imagine the original versions being as good. One standout for me was the Ian Tyson song, Somewhere in the Rubies, which the Gords did with such beautiful harmonies that I was reminded of the Eagles in their prime. The Gords are a first rate act and one that I would not hesitate to bring back to the Kelowna Community Theatre again, and also one that I would strongly recommend to anyone who is looking for a terrific evening of performances by three incredibly talented singer / songwriters.

STOCKTON - There may be lots of children with purple pinkies this week, a sign of generosity and compassion likely to resound across the globe.
The kids who donated a quarter got purple pinkies.
Get enough quarters, and it adds up to dollars. Get enough dollars and it adds up to lives saved in a campaign to inoculate children in third-world countries against polio, once the scourge of communities everywhere.
Polio is largely wiped out in the United States and other developed countries, but in struggling communities, it's still a serious problem.
Rotary International, with its high school Interact Club students, organized the fundraiser Thursday at Spanos Elementary School. The campaign continues today.
And why the purple pinkie?
A world away, when children get vaccinations, they get a fingernail painted purple to show they've been vaccinated.

I am definitely not an expert on maternity pay and how it works but what I do know is that statutory by definition is 'required by law (statute)', therefore your employer is required by law to pay the statutory maternity pay to all mothers who go on maternity leave the amount that is set by the government.
Providing you have worked at your current job long enough your employer can't pay any less than what the statutory amount is. The statutory is the lowest that they can offer. Actually they can't offer it as it is your entitlement.
Hope that helps.

Del Mar: Friends of the Powerhouse's casino night to help raise money for new Beach Safety Center and Lifeguard Headquarters
By Marlena Chavira-Medford
Staff Writer
The Friends of the Powerhouse members are gearing for their annual casino night fundraiser Saturday, Feb. 5, which aims to raise money for the new Beach Safety Center and Lifeguard Headquarters.
The Del Mar's lifeguard station was built in 1964, and with it falling deeper into disrepair, raising money for a new facility has become a front-burner mission. The Friends of the Powerhouse and the City of Del Mar have partnered to fund the estimated $3 million project, with the community group raising one-third, and the city raising the rest.
The Friends of the Powerhouse is now close to reaching its $1 million commitment toward the project, said Ronnie Delaney, who is co-chairing the fundraiser with Susan Halenza and Jill Coughlin.
"The community has been so gracious to this effort, and after years of working toward this goal, we're finally getting ready to put something in the ground," she said.
This year, Friends of the Powerhouse will use the money it has raised to start construction of a new pathway that will give the lifeguards direct access to the beach "instead of having to dodge all those parked cars," she added.
The group will also oversee the Del Mar Garden Club's planting of a new garden over a nearby drainage ditch, which will be dedicated to the late Bill Teague, a longtime Del Mar horticulturalist who dedicated his time and expertise to many gardening projects and, in fact, designed this garden.
With just about all the funding raised and design plans complete, Delaney said the Friends of Powerhouse are "ready and waiting to get started" on their leg of the project. The construction was put out to bid, and at the time of press, the city council was expected to award a contract during its Jan. 24 meeting.
Delaney said once ground is broken, she expects the project will take just a few months to complete.
Until then, she's got her sights set on the casino night fundraiser, which she said typically draws about 200 people.
Tickets to the fundraiser are $60 each and include a buffet dinner by Jake's Del Mar and live entertainment by Java Band. There will also be casino-style games, raffle prizes, and a live auction with some big ticket items, such as private use of the Powerhouse or a Jake's Del Mar dinner for eight prepared at home.
"Dinner, dancing, gambling, great prices and casual socializing — this event has it all. It's a fun way to raise money for a great cause that will benefit everyone in this community. What more could you ask for?"
