The family that plays together, stays together!
Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom took their 2-year-old son Flynn for a dip while vacationing in Cancun, Mexico, on Wednesday.
With Bloom in boardshorts and Kerr covering up her model figure, the trio shared a laugh as they splashed around in the warm water.
Putting to rest rumors that Kerr, 29, and Bloom, 36, were heading toward a split, the couple recently stepped out at the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards.
When attending the InStyle party after the Globes, Bloom told PEOPLE that Kerr was "so beautiful," while Kerr added she was looking forward to "dancing with her husband."

Question details
I'm just curious to find out... are there any of you kitchen gardeners that have chickens in your yards along with your gardens? How do you raise them - do they free range? And if you do free range.... how do you keep them from gobbling up your garden as well as the weeds and bugs? Thanks!
I don't yet have chickens, although I will be ordering some soon, but I plan to use the same method I use for marauding squirrels, which is to place chicken wire around my raised beds, removing it only when I am working on it. I did this with my in-ground garden last year and it worked. I also plan to let the chickens out only when I am in the yard. I live on the edge of an urban area (Oakland CA) but that has raccoons and large predator birds and that doesn't allow roosters in the city limits, so I have to be the rooster and keep a sharp eye out for my ladies.
I live in California and am keeping chickens in my garden. Since we live in a rural area, we had to put up an 8 ft. fence to keep the deer out. It's approx. 25 x 100 ft. and we have 5 4x8 raised beds in it along with fruit trees, grapes and many various berries. We built a chicken tractor to fit our raised beds and my chickens go there at night, as well as to lay eggs in their nesting box. They are let out each morning. We have had damage and had to modify our garden. We now have "hoop houses" instead of raised beds. We did this with PVC pipes and bird netting. We've also enclosed our blueberry bed and raspberry bed as the chickens like the dig and scratch in the loose soil. Everything we place in the ground has a gopher cage around the roots and have found we need to put large rocks surrounding the gopher cages as the chickens like to take their dust baths there. I truly enjoy having the chickens roam around the garden/orchard and find the extra work is worth it. As Joel Salatin says you have the let chickens have their chickenness, so we work around the problems. Their manure, eating the bugs and "tilling" the raised beds, along with their companionship is worth the extra work. We have not had an problem with predators so far, but we are on watch, as we know it's very possible in our area (we have racoons, fox, skunk, hawks, snakes, etc.)
Great question! If some experienced answers don't pop up here, I will ask my local garden club. But there are lots of chicken owners on KGI. There's a world of info "out there" about keeping chickens & chicken tractors. I like your category: peacefully co-exist! :-) In my limited but intensive experience :-) Peacocks were hardwired to eat every emerging green shoot but Ducks were more interested in carnivorous forage such as snails.
Chickens will destroy your garden if you let them. Last year was my first year with chickens and they did a lot of damage. I had to replant almost all of my crops and actually had a very poor year yield wise as a result. Free ranging isn't really possible because there are so many chicken predators in my area (name one, it's here!). FYI, foxes can easily jump 4ft fences!! The chicken yard has very good tree coverage which has really helped with the hawks, although an eagle perched on one of the branches last fall after the leaves fell to evaluate it's chances. My daughters chased it off by throwing things and yelling. My primary thought on keeping birds safe is that you must keep them close to your house. My neighbor didn't and lost all of her much larger flock, in spite of her apparently well built chicken coop. I am still working on predator proof overnight housing. We have a microflock (3 birds), so to keep them from freezing in the winter, we overnight them in a bin with frequently changed bedding inside the house. My biggest problem with this is that my daughter now wants to keep bringing the birds in at night forever!!! To answer the question, there can be a lot of variables. If you're only concerned with protecting your garden from chickens, you must either contain the garden or the chickens. If you have to deal with predator or neighbor issues, you'll have a lot more to think about.
Chicken tunnels: I forgot to mention what I do with my chickens on winter days. Moving a chicken tractor around is impractical when you have more than a foot of snow on the ground and I am uncomfortable with leaving the chickens on the same small patch of ground for months on end (New England winters), so I have chicken tunnels. Over 4 of my garden beds, I have hoops and plastic. Inside each tunnel is leaves, some wood chips and mulch hay, added as needed. I rotate the chickens from one tunnel to the other as the spirit moves me, or depending on how much snow I feel like shoveling. I hope to have well prepared beds and healthy, happy chickens in the spring!
This sounds great! Are you saying that your chickens can stay in the chicken tunnels 24/7 in the winter? with snow on the ground? Or is preparing your garden beds their day-job & they go back to the chicken-house at night? Could you please give us the specs on what size the beds are & how many chickens are happy for how long? Do you provide feed & water for them within the chicken tunnels? Your info will be very useful here, where the town permits keeping a few chickens & we have zone 4 winters with snow.
Barb Keeler brought up chicken tractors in the Small Animals Group. As I commented there, in the next day or so I will be asking some local experts about "peaceful co-existance" & will report back. :-) We look forward to your photos!
I had free range chickens my first year of gardening. While I was in the process of putting in the beds, I actually fed my chickens in the garden to try to get them to help me dig it up. They were effective in a couple parts but didn't make too much of a dent. When I got closer to planting, I put up a deer fence. This mostly kept the chickens out while the plants were small. By the time they figured out how to get in the garden, my plants were well enough established that they didn't mess with them. They also did a great job eating that year's massive crop of grasshoppers. I'd agree with locking them up while you're putting the garden in, but later in the summer you should be able to let them loose again to eat up the bugs. Erin
After having chickens for a couple of years, we came to the conclusion that they cannot peacefully co-exist. If the chickens aren't scratching up your newly planted seedbed, they're eating the emerging shoots. And they do love lettuce. Ducks won't scratch, but they sure eat the greens. Our solution was to build a permanent enclosure which is the chicken yard / compost pile. All compostable materials go in with the chickens. They eat what they like, and leave the rest. They do a good job of keeping it all stirred up, and fertilize it generously. I dig about 6" of compost out of there every year. It aint pretty, but it works great.
Thanks Don - for giving us such a great picture of how chickens can "peacefully coexist" with the dynamic gardening cycle & help with the composting! You say, "It aint pretty, but it works great." Well, that's just "plain" inspirational! :-) For "pretty," it would be possible to have a fenced chicken/compost yard & grow vine crops up the fence. Or roses! :-) Or you can build garden structures from willow & brush in areas with those resources. Soon I will post a photo of a fence-style garden enclosure to keep deer out, built by a renown brushwood artist. Just today, the Permaculture Research Institute posted this report on building natural structures in South Africa - with lots of photos. http://permaculture.org.au/2011/02/05/lucky-natural-buildings-in-south-a...
I have back yard chickens and they are great for the garden as fertilizers, but wreak havoc in the garden. Mine have a large pen during the day, i have 6 chickens in a 30 by 15 foot run. I do let them out in my yard for the last couple of hours in the day, but have my garden fenced off to keep the vegies safe.
Mine are in a totally enclosed space during the day...too many dogs, etc. that can run about in town. I have an enclosed pen for more exercise they can go into when I am in the yard, but we also let them loose in the whole yard at times, to keep the ticks down. We just shoo them out of the gardens....they are pretty well behaved.
Hi all. Glad to join in this conversation. We have had backyard chickens for many years. The simple answer is that chickens and gardens can coexist if they are not combined. Chickens can eat down your vegetables and plants faster than you can blink plus they need to dust for their own well being and your garden beds make excellent dusting areas. Our solution is to have our hens "free range" inside their own gated community. This is safe for them and safe for the garden. It also helps us to keep them healthy. You can see our set up at www.fingersinthedirt.com.
I just have 4 chickens and glad I don't have any more. They lay just enough eggs to keep us fed and they are kept in a chicken tractor pen. We also let them out in the evening so they can eat bugs and scratch around. There are too many predators that would love to have a chicken dinner to let them be totally free range.
We have many different garden areas which are impractical to fence in. The chickens make a mess of newly planted beds, remove mulch, and peck at their favorite foods. So, in our world chickens and gardens are not compatible. They are allowed to free range until the planting starts, then they are confined behind an electric poultry fence which we move about during the season. This year a few of them have figured out how to fly over the fence, so we are trying the trick of running twine from post to post along the fenceline, to see if it will interfere with their hopping. We perhaps would have been wise to get the 48" high fence rather than the 42", but thought it unneccessary. Interestingly, they will not hop over the 24" wildlife fence that is around the main garden!
How many chickens do you have and how big is your electric fenced area?
We let the chickens free range in the garden in the winter, but once crops start growing, they can't go there anymore - they destroy it! At that point our chickens go into a chicken tractor which gets moved around every few days. The way we make it work for our chickens is to use both the tractor (which they sleep in, and have roaming room underneath) and a separate structure that we made out of electrical conduit bent into hoops (using Johnny's Selected Seeds 'hoop bender'). We attached these hoops to a 2x4 frame, and covered it with chicken wire, and then pull it up next to the chicken tractor so that they can move back and forth. It works great, and they aren't so cramped that way... We have a dozen chickens, and this can comfortably hold eight, but has been used for more.
We've had chickens of various size flocks for about 6 years now; both layers and meat birds. We've done everything from tractors to full-on free range, to electric poultry netting. I can't have chickens in an active, growing garden. They will eat the seedlings, scratch up the seeds and find the pea pods and beans. They even hop up in my 2' raised beds. We either fence in the garden, or fence in the chickens during the late spring/summer, and clip wings on one side so they can't fly out. In the fall/winter/early spring, we allow them to free range. I want them in the garden then to till things up. We use the droppings from their coop in our compost. We have lots of land- 27 acres, with about 3 immediately around our home that they roam- and so we have the flexibility to do whatever makes the most sense at the time. the more our chickens range, the better the eggs, I will say that.
We've chickened and gardened together for the last 3 years. I keep the girls out of the garden while things are germinating or sprouting but they can go in if they'd like once everything is up and established. If something is too delicate I cover it with floating row cover to make sure the chickens don't disturb it.
We have two hens and they are big time scratchers and love their "salad". They will peck on anything green. Just because of that (and the fact that we only have two), we use a dog cage as a "tractor" and move them around in the grass, where the weeds are overgrown, etc. but not in our vegetable patch. I heard this "technique" from somebody a while ago: put some wood planks between the rows of vegetables. Every few days or so you can turn them upside down and let the chickens come in for the worms and insect larvae. Sounds like a great idea but I have not tried it myself. All I can tell you is that if I find a grub, I pick it up and throw it to the hens and they think it is candy...
Our Buff Orpington hens do not have the run of the garden till late fall when they are fenced there adn do a wonderful job of cleaning up all residue and bugs. The rest of the year they are fenced (we use 16 ft hog panels to easily create and move areas for the hens) in a rotating pattern across the pasture. Up till last week when we finally got two weaned pigs, the hens got all our kitchen garbage as well. all the hen house and hog pen litter goes in the compost and there are no fresh people food scraps in the compost pile where they might attract critters. WE are down to 6 old ladies who are still laying but have 50 chicks coming on Monday to create the new flock of 15 layers and the rest will be meat birds for the freezer by fall.
Yes they can destroy your garden but if you move them to different parts of the garden every day then the grass will be fine that is what I do with my chicks (to silkies) also rake up the poo. With my 3 big 1 (bluebell light Sussex and ginger warren) because they've got a big coop I carnt move it do I put wood chippings down in one place of the garden then put a bit of turf on the top (make sure there is still some wood chippings the chickens can see because the can dig that not the turf)
I had free range chickens last summer, and they did quite a bit of damage to my flower beds and to my garden. This year, we built a tall (10 foot) fence around their coop, they have plenty of room to range and have shade as well. My garden is doing great, and as an added bonus we don't have to hunt around the 10 acres for eggs! I do plan to let them out a bit later in the summer for pest control, but I agree with an earlier poster that gardens and free-range chickens, for the most part, or incompatible. I love my chickens and I love my garden, enclosing the chickens has made it possible for me to love them both at the same time.
We raise heritage breed chickens and give a "Urban Hens 101" workshops and one of the things I always tell the participants is not to expect the chicken to know what they should (bugs, weeds, etc...) and should not (berries, lettuce, edible flowers, tomato and potato plants which are toxic to them) be eating in the garden... Chickens should really be kept in a pen or run. They will do a great job of eating garden leftovers and supply you with manure. A chicken tractor is a great idea if you only plan on a few chickens and if it can be secured so that no predator can come in at night - and if you live in an area where winters are warm. A chicken coop is really a must if you live in an area where winters are cold. It does not need to be insulated or heated : a chicken's worst enemy is excess humidity, not cold. And you should choose breeds that are well adapted to your climate.
"In southern shikoku there was a kind of chicken that would eat worms and insects on vegetable without scratching the roots or damaging the plants." Masanobu Fukuoka, The One Straw Revolution. I would consider Fukuoka-san a very sober and reliable observer but keep in mind that he talks about southern Japan where they have plenty of rain and lush natural growth even outside their gardens.Also, he refers to the chicken in past tense in a a book written in the 1970ies.
>Sepp Holzer< describes in his writings the concept of growing food plants preferred by the animal over the regular garden crops in order to keep them away from the vegetable garden. This would be a very good starting point,I think. My only personal experience with chickens are childhood memories that they have to be physically separated from gardens. Greetings ,antonis
I previously lived on a 9+acre farm and had 33 chickens; I kept them secured from my garden after coming home to find they had eaten my whole canning garden which at the time was in full production. Although their pen had a 5' fence; it did not hold them and that is the summer I learned my chickens could fly. I gave them plenty of fresh greens every day, plus all the weeds they could hold....but eating everything fresh was way more appealing to the girls. I now live in town on less than 1/3 acre but plan to add 4 chickens and 2 ducks to the yard. I will allow them to forage daily but keep them separate from my garden and flowers.
Some of you may be interested in this show that the BBC aired on edible gardens. The focus here is a small-scale backyard setup, but she keeps her chickens in a separate pen, and gives them her trimmings, and adds their waste to her compost: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=rTZ5YeXc0J8#t=922s
I was watching a YouTube video where a woman had put some kind of netting over her fruit trees to keep the birds from eating the fruit..... If you made a fence to partition your chickens away from the garden in the gardening season, and the put a tree net up over the area where your chickens roam, maybe that would help, and it could help keep critters out as well?
Lots of dry hay or straw, chemical free for the coop and yard. When you start smelling ammonia in the coop, it is past time to clean it and change the straw. Also, just sit and watch them. Chickens are some of the most interesting behaving animals around.

Now that's how you throw a party!
Within the first 24 minutes of Green Day's sold out three-hour marathon at Molson Amphitheatre Wednesday night, singer and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong had:
a) Engaged the audience in several sing-and-clap-a-longs;
b)Run through the crowd with his guitar so the people in Section 300 could get a close look at him;
c) Invited several folks onstage to share the microphone, and
d) Sacrificed a virgin.
And then the show really kicked into gear.

"Technology saved my life!"
Leroy Luraschi wouldn't consider himself a "tech-savvy" person but someone who occasionally likes to surf the web or play a game on his home computer. Leroy was doing just that one evening at his Montrose home when all of a sudden he felt an unexpected sensation in his head. "It felt like something broke. I felt like someone was poking something through my eye," he explains.
Leroy got up from his computer, walked into his bedroom and collapsed onto the floor. "All I remember is my 19-year old son Jacob running into the room, he called 9-1-1," says Leroy. Paramedics took Leroy to Montrose Memorial Hospital. Immediately upon arrival to the emergency room Leroy says he knew he was having a stroke. "I couldn't talk or move my whole right side," he explains. Staff at Memorial Hospital dialed in Swedish Medical Center Neurologist Dr. Chris Fanale by tele-medicine technology and he was up on a screen within minutes ready to consult with doctors about Leroy. "It's pretty wild that there was a specialist hundreds of miles away in Denver helping me in the ER," says Leroy.
Leroy was transferred shortly after to Swedish Medical Center in Denver by helicopter where he was assessed in person by Dr. Fanale and the stroke team. According to Dr. Fanale, "stroke can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. Stroke does not discriminate with age. Being close to a certified stroke center or a hospital with telemedicine capabilities allows you to get stroke treatment rapidly and efficiently. Sometimes patients in non-urban communities need a higher level of care due to the severity and complicated nature of their strokes. At Swedish Medical Center, we have the multidisciplinary team with the stroke specialists that can care for patients such as these on a 24/7/365 basis. The quicker we can treat, the better the outcome. We can only do that with seamless clinical collaboration between hospitals, as was displayed in the care of this patient. "
Leroy, who is 49-years old, didn't expect he'd ever have a stroke. "I was completely caught off guard that I was having a stroke. But I'm so glad that I had the Swedish stroke team right there with me. They made my life worth living again and they sure know what they're doing!" says Leroy.

hey, i need some help! i wanna know where i can find a place to get manga! besides ebay, conventions and other stuff like that! so where could i find some? would barnes and noble work?
its good for anime merchandise, but at barnes, its 7.50 for a lucky star manga, and at right stuf its like 13 dollars! but thanks for the site! it will help
~Nan Kuru Nai-Sah~
is good but price is normaly greater
B&N and Borders Books have an excellent selection of Manga. Amazon.com will probably be your best bet for the lowest prices. If you are interested in anime, FYE might be a good alternative but they're kind pricey (look for deals around the holidays).
try looking for comic stores in your area by using google.
barnes has a good few but day dreams is a bit better there a comic book store that sale's manga and some other thing's that you can not get any where less. as faw as for anime best buy as a good few at ok prices but you realy have to look. i know its few and in between but walmart as some anime at real good prices but that's if you are looking for anime.

iOS Blade & Soul Comes True
NCsoft develops Blade & Soul Spin Off for the iPhone and iPad!
NCsoft has already started developing the spin off title and has recently started seeking experienced individuals for the games development team. NCsoft is currently hiring an Art Manager, a Client Programmer and a Server Programmer for this new project. Hiring a Server Programmer gives us reason to believe that this game will contain multiplayer aspects!
Edit: We would like to point out that Blade & Soul's iOS version will not be developed by the same team creating the PC/Console version. This spin off game should have little to no effect on the original games development speed.
Some of you might be familiar with Epic Games recently released Unreal 3 Engine game for the iOS titled "Infinity Blade". NCsoft prefers that the Art Manager they are looking to hire has experience working with the Unreal 3 Engine, which means we could expect Blade & Soul's iOS versions graphics to be on par with its PC counterpart.
According to ThisisGame.com, one of Epic Games staff members had this to say at E3 2010; "With this new iOS, Unreal Engine games like NCsoft's upcoming Blade & Soul game can potentially be made on the iOS."
Here's what NCsoft had to say about all of this; "Currently this recruitment is just a test, we will be doing many experiments and we are not 100% certain that the game will be coming out on the iOS."

Mens Golf Signs Three from State of Indiana
MUNCIE, Ind. -- The Ball State men's golf team signed three Indiana high school standouts to national letters of intent during the early signing period.
Michael Makris (Mishawaka, Ind./Marian HS), Michael VanDeventer (Columbus, Ind./North HS) and Johnny Watts (Fishers, Ind./Hamilton Southeastern HS) each signed to play collegiately for head coach Mike Fleck's Cardinals. All three will play their senior high school seasons in the spring.
"I am very excited these young men are members of the Ball State golf family," Fleck said. "As we continue to compete at the highest level, this group will contribute to our program immediately. They are very competitive and accomplished golfers, all from the state of Indiana. Being able to attract three of the top junior golf student-athletes from this class will allow us to continue to build on the tradition of Ball State Golf."
Makris tied for seventh at last year's IHSAA State Championships with current Ball State freshman Keegan McKinney and fellow signee VanDeventer. An all-state selection in 2013, he was medalist at the sectional for Mishawaka Marian and tied for second at the regional. He owns two top-five sectional finishes and a pair of top-5 regional results in his career.
Over the summer, Makris beat a talented field at the U.S. Amateur Qualifier contested at Michigan State's Forest Akers Golf Course. The victory earned him a spot in the prestigious U.S. Amateur Championship at Brookline Country Club in Massachusetts.
"Michael's game is impressive," Fleck said. "He has the length to compete on the challenging courses we play, and his golf resume has prepared him well for the next level. The experience of winning the U.S. Am qualifier and going on to compete at Brookline this past summer will help him as he transitions into top-level collegiate golf."
VanDeventer is a three-time all-state selection at Columbus North and already owns two top-10 finishes in three appearances at the IHSAA State Championships. In addition to his seventh-place result as a junior, he placed fifth as a freshman. He has helped the Bull Dogs to a pair of runner-up team finishes at the state finals and is one of four Columbus North senior golfers signing to play collegiately.
VanDeventer managed a stroke average just above 74 last year with a low round of 69. He is a two-time individual sectional champion and a regional medalist as a freshman in 2011. He has also helped Columbus North to three sectional and three regional titles as a team.
"Michael is an outstanding young man and his golf resume speaks for itself," Fleck said. "He has led a tradition-rich Columbus North team the last couple of years, and his competitive demeanor will be a huge asset at the college level. Michael's success in the classroom and on the golf course will allow him to have an immediate impact on our program on all levels."
Watts enters his senior season this spring as a three-time All-Hamilton County selection and a two-time All-Hoosier Crossroads Conference choice. He has led his Hamilton Southeastern team in stroke average in each of the previous three years. As a junior, he guided the Royals to a regional team championship and then finished 18th individually at the IHSAA State Championships.
In summer golf, Watts was the Indiana Junior Player of the Year and the Indiana Masters Tour Champion in 2012. He won the Indiana Golf Association Age Group Championship and finished 10th at the Indiana Amateur Championship in 2013. He posted a tournament stroke average just above 73.
"Johnny is another awesome young man who will fit in very well with our team," Fleck said. "Johnny has a very consistent game and understands how to compete, having grown up in an area of the state recognized for competitive high school and junior golf. Johnny is an excellent student-athlete and I am excited he chose to be a part of our program."

Tax Day: Not Painful Enough
A lot of people hate Tax Day. Filling out tax forms is drudgery, and being forced to pay cash to the IRS is painful, especially since the taxes fund so many wasteful activities. Taxes are not the price of a civilized society as liberals claim, but the price of a government cluttered with failed and harmful programs.
Balanced-Budget Amendment to the Constitution
Presidential candidate Rand Paul has announced his support for a balanced-budget amendment (BBA) to the U.S. Constitution. This is an old idea, but a good idea. A BBA has been proposed in Congress as far back as 1936. In 1982 the Senate passed a BBA by a vote of 69-31, but it failed to get the needed two-thirds approval in the House. In 1995 a BBA passed the House by a 300-132 margin, but it fell one vote short of passage in the Senate.
Republicans Are Poised to Raise Spending
Republicans control both chambers of Congress. Republicans trumpet their desire to cut federal spending and control the growth in entitlement programs, but a number of their actions over the last month suggest otherwise.
Postal Service Privatization
For more than a century, the federal government has pursued a misguided witch hunt against perceived monopolies in the private sector. But in a glaring hypocrisy, Congress has long protected one of the nation's largest businesses against competition. The legal monopoly conferred on the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is a relic. Government-run mail makes no sense in our email-dominated economy, and other nations are showing that postal privatization works. If the centuries-old Royal Mail can be privatized, then so can our USPS.
IRS Budget Cuts and Tax Filing
For taxpayers needing IRS help, this year's filing season could be a nightmare. The Washington Post today reports on the long lines at IRS offices. The newspaper suggests that five years of Republican budget cuts are to blame, even though Democrats control the White House and, until recently, the Senate. But, whoever is at fault, the IRS commissioner is correct that his agency's service is "abysmal."
Over-Budget Hospitals
The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is plagued with problems. Veterans wait months for medical care and have few options for accessing non-VHA providers. In addition to all of the issues relating to providing health care, construction of VA medical facilities is mismanaged, which costs taxpayers billions of dollars in extra costs.
Chairmen of House and Senate Budget Committees Propose Good Fiscal Frameworks, Particularly Compared to Obama's Spendthrift Plan
Earlier this year, President Obama proposed a budget that would impose new taxes and add a couple of trillion dollars to the burden of government spending over the next 10 years.
The Senate Budget: Even More Vague than the House
Senate Budget Chairman Mike Enzi released his budget proposal yesterday afternoon. The request follows yesterday's proposal from House Budget Chairman Tom Price. The two requests are similar. Both would reduce projected spending by $5 trillion and balance the federal budget over the next ten years. Both budgets repeal ObamaCare, and neither includes reforms to Social Security. The big difference between the two is that the Senate version is even vaguer than the House version.
The House Budget Proposal Leaves Much to Be Desired
House Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-GA) released his budget proposal this morning, which outlines spending priorities for 2016 through the next decade. The proposal is a mixed bag. It includes some reform steps, but also fails to aggressively confront the dire fiscal realities facing the nation with specific spending-cuts.
Upcoming Fiscal Deadlines
The federal government's debt ceiling will return on Monday following a 14 month suspension. This is the first of many important fiscal deadlines that Congress must consider before the end of the calendar year. These deadlines represent opportunities for Congress to control spending growth and reform entitlement programs.

WIMBLEDON, England — In preparation for Wimbledon, Serena Williams took in a Green Day concert at Wembley Stadium and, with the Queen of England scheduled to visit the tournament Thursday, practiced her curtsy in front of the mirror.
Of Green Day, she gushed: "They were so close."
Williams was much more animated on other topics. Like Green Day (she pronounced herself a "massive" fan). And The Queen (she does plan to curtsy, if given the opportunity, and she would welcome an introduction).

Who?: Matthew Lippman, vocals/guitar; Alex Mersinger, bass/vocals; Joseph Barth, drums/vocals; Olivia Hastings, guitar/vocals; Jacob Chen, violin/vocals.
What?: A new EP, "When We Were Blonde," recorded at GCR Studios in Buffalo, is available for download now via Brimstoneblondes.bandcamp.com.
Why?: Citing as primary influences edgy '80s alternative rock of artists like Talking Heads and the Clash, Brimstone Blondes also boast a raunchy, psychobilly-esque edge. The addition of Chen's eloquent violin playing to the standard guitars-bass-drums format lends surprising melodic heft. Frontman Lippman's mildly creepy high baritone is part David Byrne, part Oingo Boingo-era Danny Elfman. All told, a wonderfully addictive fusion of sleazy garage rock and modern indie-pop.

After a report earlier in the month indicated foreign hackers successfully infiltrated the U.S. power grid infrastructure, government officials immediately started working on legislation aimed at reducing the possibility of a similar incident in the future.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn) and Rep Bennie Thompson (D-Miss) officially introduced the Critical Electric Infrastructure Protection Act, which has been written to help create guidelines to bolster the government's readiness for possible cyberattacks. Lieberman currently heads the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, while Thompson is the chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security.
"Any failure of our electric grid, whether intentional or unintentional, would have a significant and potentially devastating impact on our nation," Thompson said in a statement. "We must ensure that the proper protections, resources and regulatory authorities are in place to address any threat aimed at our power system."
If a cyberthreat against the infrastructure is perceived to be legitimate, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will have the ability to hand out orders and modify rules, the bill said. FERC could force critical facilities to change passwords, lock down systems, or do anything else it perceives as a necessary step.
"This legislation addresses these critical issues by providing a common sense approach to ensure continued security of the nation's electric infrastructure."
As the threat of cyber attacks continues to grow at an alarming rate, the report linked to earlier indicates cyber attackers from Russia and China targeted the U.S. electrical grid -- malware tools were installed in case they wanted to shut the network down later. Even more troubling, according to security experts, was the ease in which hackers were able to gain entry into the network.
The U.S. grid control systems are electronically probed for weaknesses a large number of times by foreign hackers, though there weren't any previous confirmed accounts of actual infiltration, according to the Defense Science Board.
The overall possibility of a crippling cyber attack has led to computer security companies working with government agencies on protecting vital assets.
quote: He told Harry Reid he was a gifted speaker, that's the same thing as saying jimmy page was a gifted guitarist. Your retort is invalid.
quote: Everyone on the internet has to bitch about something. Government officials aren't threatened by chat blogs.
quote: Yours and my duty as a citizen don't end on election day. If you think that then no wonder government officials have walked all over this country. The day we stopped calling it "my government" or "our government" was the day we gave it permission to be this omnipotent force that seems intangible. You want to send a message to an elected official. Get a large group of people together outside the office of that official and hold signs that simply say "We didn't go away after election day" Just to remind them that you are the one that put them in the position and you can get them out. Every position has its procedure for ejection. If enough people actually cared you could get anything done.

Chan Gailey took in several NFL vagabonds and gave them a home in Buffalo.
Not surprisingly, those players maintained a high level of respect and admiration for the Bills' coach, even in a 2012 season that ultimately ended Monday with his dismissal.
"Chan means a lot to me as a person and as a coach. Before he took over here, I was kind of the lost journeyman, bouncing around from team to team," quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said. "He was the guy that gave me my first real shot, the guy that showed a lot of confidence in me and has stood by my side for the last few years. He means a lot to me as a coach and as a person and he's somebody I'll always respect."
Fitzpatrick is the most noteworthy of the coach's reclamation projects, but he's far from the only one, particularly on offense. Tight end Scott Chandler, for example, had been with three teams in four years before coming to Buffalo.
"He pulled me off the trash heap. That guy gave me a chance to play," Chandler said. "He's a guy who's pretty special to me, who I have a lot of respect for."
Receiver Stevie Johnson had 12 receptions and 112 receiving yards in his first two NFL seasons before Gailey arrived in 2010. Since then, he's got 237 catches and 3,123 yards, including three straight 1,000-yard seasons.
"It was a great offense to be in. It was a great offense for me," Johnson said. "I'm happy that I was here. I'm happy that he came here and I was able to get that opportunity from him. My feelings about coach Gailey, it's always good. He gave me my opportunity and gave me my chance and I pretty much took advantage of it. But if it wasn't for him who knows what would've happened?"
Receivers Donald Jones and David Nelson were undrafted free agents who are now three-year NFL veterans because of Gailey.
"I owe everything I have so far to Chan. He brought me in when not a lot of people would," Nelson said. "He gave me an opportunity. He continued to stick behind me. A lot of people have doubted me. I have his back to the end."
That end officially came in an email release by the team at 11:04 a.m., or four minutes after the media's availability with players on locker room clean-out day was to have ended. Defensive tackle Kyle Williams was in the middle of addressing reporters when the news came out.
"We didn't win enough," Williams said, when asked what didn't work with Gailey. "I think everybody in here has a tremendous amount of respect for Chan. I've been lucky in the sense, the two guys I've had as head coaches [Gailey and Dick Jauron] are really, really solid, good men. They're great men to be with. Their yes is yes, their no is no. Obviously we haven't won enough, which is what it's all about."
Players placed the onus on themselves for failing to meet expectations, and ultimately costing their head coach his job.
"It's sickening. As players, we had the highest hopes out of anybody. For us to fall short of that, we don't like it at all," running back Fred Jackson said. "It's depressing. You play this game because you want to win. We're all competitors and want to do better than 6-10.
"All we can do is try and make that adjustment, and get better. This season didn't go the way we wanted it to or expected it to, and that's on us. As players, we've got to get better."
A new coaching staff - Gailey himself announced all of his assistants were also let go — brings about the need to "start over," a welcome change for some fans, but the price of business in the NFL for players.
"I get tired of losing, whether it's starting over or this or that, I don't know," Kyle Williams said. "Honestly, I think every year is kind of a new year whether you have the same coach or not. You're kind of starting over at square one, trying to find the identity of the team that year, what you're going to do well, what you're not going to do well. But, more than anything, I get tired of putting in tons and tons of work, and it's hard, sitting here talking to you guys at the end of December or January, feeling like another one kind of slips through your fingers because we only have so long to play, and I've been around a little while."

Inner beauty really does trump outward appearance-especially after factoring in comfort and utility. Your aircraft's interior, from the suppleness of the seats to the entertainment system, has a huge impact on both ownership experience and resale value.

Considering that the fractional-aircraft field was borne of a new business model and has been around for more than 20 years, it is perhaps surprising that the basic structure remains fundamentally unchanged: you purchase a share of an aircraft from the provider at a premium; you pay management fees, hourly rates and fuel surcharges; and at the end of your contract, you sell your share back to t

Seduced in a dream by a handsome, rugged man, Charlotte Bennett decides to let pleasure and desire lead the way-only to discover her "safe night of passion has dangerous repercussions.
Dear Reader Letter
Dear Reader,
The morning after Charlotte Bennett has the most deliciously decadent and erotic dream she's ever had, she's dismayed to discover it wasn't a dream at all. It was a binding spell, laid by Kieran Aimhrea, one of the biggest, baddest Unseelie fae around.
Charlotte is a human who has been raised to hate and fear the fae, and, especially, to never, ever visit Piefferburg, the place where they live. Even so, through the magick of the binding spell, Kieran draws her inexorably across the country to that magickal prison. Charlotte carries the secret of the location of an ancient artifact that can break the wards that imprison the fae and Kieran will risk anything to get it.
And Kieran is risking a lot.
He is the recipient of one of the most unpleasant curses that can be laid—if he ever falls in love, he and his partner will die horribly. The binding spell he's cast on Charlotte is designed to lure love to his side, which is why he has never used it. But the stakes are high and he figures his heart is far too dark and jaded to love at this point, and Charlotte is hardly love match material anyway. Surely there's no chance they will succumb…right?
Yet love is a force that can never be planned for or controlled, it simply is. And hearts sometime change, grow wiser, when offered new perspectives from which to see the world.
As it turns out, the love curse is the least of their problems. There are plenty of people who don't want the fae to be freed from Piefferburg and every last one of them is going to stand in their way.
I hope you enjoy taking this magickal journey with Kieran and Charlotte as much as I enjoyed writing it. These characters have chemistry that sizzles on the page and I really had fun with them.
If you have questions about the Dark Magick series or just want to say hi, you can find me on Twitter or Facebook I'm always happy to chat.
If you'd like to find out more about this book, visit my web site, where I'll have a book video up soon, too.
Thanks so much for reading!

nVidia GTX670 Review
Resident Evil 5 - DX10
Published: 21st May 2012 | Source: nVidia | Price: £329 |
Resident Evil 5 - DX10
The DirectX 10 rendering path always gives a more consistent result than the DirectX 9 variant, and again the very top end of performance is just out of reach of the GTX670. Most surprising is how little extra the overclock brings.
Most Recent Comments
The sequel to one of our favourite cards is upon us. Does the GTX670 continue the price/performance

shame about the placing of the power connections though not great for cable managementQuote
But as far as i'm concerned the 670 is the best bang for buck card on the market at the moment.Quote
With this being said would paying £30 more for a 7970 be worth it?
I did really want to get the 670 Windforce, but all of these stuttering issues are pushing me to the £30 more expensive 7970 Windforce.Quote
What about all of the stuttering issues being posted online with the 6xx series?

Great as always.
If anyone is looking at buying a 300+ card I'd recommend the Asus DC2 GTX 670 TOP, performs just like a 680 but runs much cooler and quieter. Kinda makes the 79XX pointless.Quote
However, I don't buy Tom's opinion of the Nvidia rebranding rumours having perhaps a little more truth behind them. Nvidia have been late to this new GPU generation party with AMD's offerings out months before. That costs them in the pocket. The 690 is based on 2x680's as expected and this level of development requires time and money to change mid flow if the rumours were true. I don't believe the generation speed gain has been insignificant, which is another reason to disbelieve the rumours over the 7970's being underwhelming. Opinions are opinions though
Nvidias 'other' chip was to be 680 card will more than likely go straight into thier professional range of graphics cards, in my opinion, as they always were going to.
I also feel the 7950 has more headroom and ultimate speed, when overclocked, than this 670 in it's current form and a higher performer. With Sapphires cooler on it, much cooler operation too. 7950's have been available for a while now...
No I'm not a fanboy, just have to state facts as they are though.
Still £300 buys decent performance again at last Quote
I'm starting to save some money for a new card now (my 6850 is getting old ) and have my eyes on the Asus DCII TOP 670, which has 680 performance out of the box, a 680 PCB with much better temps. Depends on any further price drops and how the "ghz" editions of the 7970s do before I buy one though.
But as far as i'm concerned the 670 is the best bang for buck card on the market at the moment.

temps aren't all that much better dude

PetrolHead247. Check this out:
All data in this review was obtained after I repaired a major design error of the card. When I received it, the card ran extremely high temperatures, reaching beyond 100°C. This is caused by screws with integrated stop, that resulted in too little mounting pressure between GPU and heatsink. I added four metal washers, by removing the screws, adding the washer and putting the screws back. The cooler was not removed for this procedure, thermal paste was not changed.
I lovea good conspiracy theory so naturally i'm pretty chuffed here Quote
Also good to see a proper representation of AMD cards against Nvidia instead of the usual review sites who show Nvidia as out performing everything. Shills?Quote
As for the card itself, I'm looking forward to seeing what the water blocks look like on the shorter PCB.
Size isn't everything you know Quote
Any specific reason you didn't take it apart TTL?Quote
Only with gpus and cpus do people get upset in the question of performance versus what's under the hood.
If Intel released what they called an i2-1170, that was pentium based on 775 fabs and core archi - but was cheaper, faster and oc'd like a monster - I'd buy it. ... I'd not complain about it not being the same fab as a i7-3770 cos I wouldn't care.
Ooo I mean to say, new drivers day today ??Quote
I'm sure he's said before that certain manufacturers dont allow him to do the nerd porn bit
herd it was supposed to be a lower card in the series that's why the pcb is so small
hate the power connectors on the ref card and seems a stuttering issue at decent fps hope drivers improve cus considering buy one.
cudnt really watercool this and look good in a system??Quote
Reason I ask, and I know business is business blah, blah, blah, but is anyone else slightly riled that we're being charged more than we originaly whould have done for this card?
Wouldn't have been buying one of these anyway, just wondering what people think.Quote
It's more likely the 670 was meant to be the 660 and the 680 was meant to be the 670.
I mean come on, do people actually believe Nvidia are that far ahead? No way the 670 was meant to be the 650, since when has any low end card had two 6pins and been that powerfull... never. Low end cards are low end for a reason.
Nvidia would be putting themselves out if the 670 was meant to be the 650, why would they release a low end card that was more powerfull than their previous high end card? Just doesn't make sense at all because no one would buy any 5xx series card, which means Nvidia would lose more money than making it.
I don't know what it is with Nvidia, but everywhere you go people seem to think the sun shines out their ass and they throw all logical thinking out of the window. The 670 supposing to be the 660 and the 680 supposing to be the 670 makes sense. The 670 supposing to be the 650 and the 680 the 660 doesn't both in terms of the amount of power they use and how much it would put the previous cards out of the market, losing Nvidia more money than making it.
Either way though they are overcharging, but so did AMD when they released the 7xxx series, the 7970 was £500 on release but can be had for £350 now, hopefully the same thing will happen with the 670 and 680 Quote

Welcome fall with Applesauce Cake
Apples have begun their annual tumble from trees into our outstretched hands. There are about a billion ways to use them: in sauce, pie, crisp, salad, chutney, or baked whole, sliced and dipped in caramel, or whole and candied. And in Applesauce Cake. Like this one, for instance.
It's a treat remembered fondly by those whose mothers and grandmothers baked it during wartime and thereafter. Having tasted it, I can't believe it ever went out of style.
Not too sweet and somehow moist and hearty at the same time, Applesauce Cake tastes a little like spice cake -- though without ginger -- and comes studded with diced apples, raisins and chopped walnuts.
It was popular during wartime because using applesauce, spices and dried fruit and nuts reduced the need for eggs, sugar and butter, which were all rationed.
This recipe, having evolved since then, calls for all three, though in smaller quantities than in other cakes.
Applesauce Cake doesn't need frosting, but you could certainly add it -- at a hefty cost in calories, of course. It's hard to resist fantasizing about it spread with some sweetened cream cheese concoction.
Even when simply adorned with apple slices, however, a slice of the cake tastes like a wedge of pure autumn. It pairs well with coffee, tea or milk, for breakfast, snack or dessert. Friends and family will love it. Also co-workers. Co-workers tend to gobble baked goods like the world's about to end. Applesauce Cake will be gone before lunch.
Five things I learned:
1. The first time I made this, the center didn't get quite done. OK, it was way not done. My oven runs hot, so I usually take stuff out about five minutes before the recipe instructs. I did this and the center was goop. Tasty goop, but goop nonetheless. I'd poked it with a toothpick, but it came out clean, for some reason. I was less than pleased.
The second time I left it in five minutes longer, and it was done all the way through, though the edges were a teensy bit dry. Pick your poison.
2. My mom claims ignorance on affairs in the kitchen, but every once in a while she betrays that veneer, sharing nuggets of information I would never have figured out.
For example, the last time I made a layer cake, she said she looked at the lopsided mess on Facebook and knew what I'd done wrong: I'd failed to get the cake out of the pan in time.
Mom said you can't leave a cake in the pan too long, or it will form a bond of unholy matrimony with the pan, and you'll never get it out intact.
Her advice was corroborated by instructions in this recipe, which said to leave it in the pan for just five minutes before turning it out.
3. Since I started cooking, I've been prepping baking pans with cooking spray, thinking it was healthier than butter. And since I started cooking, I swear not one of my baked goods has come out of the pan cleanly.
It took 11 years, but I've decided to be unapologetic about smearing real butter around the pans for quick breads and muffins, etc. I haven't had to fight the sticking issues since.
As for the health issue, greasing a cake pan with butter adds less than a tablespoon to the whole 12-serving cake, at a cost of, at most, nine calories per slice. This is a price I'm willing to pay.
4. Even if the cake is going to fall out of the pan perfectly, it can be hard to get it right side up without breaking it. Only Shaquille O'Neal could hold it safely in his enormous hands.
I put a plate face down over the cake in the pan and flipped them to let the cake fall out on the plate upside down. I took a cooling rack and put it face down on the bottom of the cake and flipped again. Then it was right side up and ready to be left in peace.
5. You can make your own fresh applesauce from local apples if you're in the mood. It takes about 10 minutes. Peel, core and slice two or three apples, add a quarter-cup of water and boil until the apples are soft and can be pur�ed with a blender or food processor.
If you have any unsweetened sauce leftover, warm it up, add some sugar and cinnamon, nutmeg and/or ginger, stir and grab a spoon.

You may laugh, but if we can't find trading partners for trades we've ALREADY TRIED TO DO, and we need to get under the cap than Tatar is the only realistic option trade wise to free up space. Otherwise we're hoping teams pick up our 4th liners on waivers which won't happen as there are already a ton of unsigned 3rd/4th liners.
It's not funny, but it's a very likely option so I'd chill the attitude for now.
But nobody has been making moves over the summer. Once free agency settled down that was it. Everyone is waiting for camp and preseason to see where they are. That is when you will see moves get made.

We purchased a Cybex 600A from Total Body Experts and couldn't be happier with our service. They answered all of our questions, set up a delivery schedule that met our complicated needs, and followed through with us once it was delivered. The machine was perfect--in excellent shape, and works like new. I am a relentless comparison shopper, and the price for the machine as well as the delivery and warranty from Total Body Experts beat out all the others by quite a bit. I would definitely buy from them again.

Urban Influence Codes
Stay Connected
The 2013 Urban Influence Codes form a classification scheme that distinguishes metropolitan counties by population size of their metro area, and nonmetropolitan counties by size of the largest city or town and proximity to metro and micropolitan areas. The standard Office of Management and Budget (OMB) metro and nonmetro categories have been subdivided into two metro and 10 nonmetro categories, resulting in a 12-part county classification. This scheme was originally developed in 1993. This scheme allows researchers to break county data into finer residential groups, beyond metro and nonmetro, particularly for the analysis of trends in nonmetro areas that are related to population density and metro influence.
An update of the Urban Influence Codes is planned for mid-2023.

Washington Dairygrams - September 10, 2013
As printed in our September 10, 2013 issue...
CORN AND SOYBEAN FUTURES CONTRACTS stiffened in late August trading after one of the wettest springs on record gave way to an abnormally dry summer. July and August could turn out to be the driest since 1936 for Iowa, Indiana and Illinois — all major corn and soybean states.
IN LATE AUGUST TRADING, corn jumped 50 cents per bushel when compared to mid-month levels to settle at $5 to $5.20 for December-to-May contracts. Beans rose over a dollar to $13.20 to $13.90 per bushel.
DAIRY FUTURES ALSO HAD BEEN SLUGGISH, but contracts rebounded when grain pushed higher in late month trading. September-to-February Class III contracts averaged $17.25 with a range of $16.35 to $18.14.
STRONG PRODUCT INVENTORIES have placed downward pressure on the markets. While July butter and cheese stocks were down from June, butter reserves were 26 percent higher than last year, cheese 5 percent.
JULY MILK PRODUCTION ROSE 1.1 PERCENT nationally. In the West, California was down 3.5 percent, Arizona -2.0, Idaho -1.1 and Oregon -0.9. All other major dairy states expanded milk flow.
DAIRY COW NUMBERS CONTINUE TO GO UNREPORTED due to the federal government's sequester. However, July culling activity was strong in California and Arizona exceeding last July by 12 percent.
JANUARY-TO-JULY CULLING totaled 1.82 million dairy cows, up 3.2 percent or 56,000 head from 2012. If projections hold, 2013 could top last year — the highest dairy culling since 1986's whole herd buyout program.
THE NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT WILL INVESTIGATE three dairy product safety issues from this year. The unrelated incidents involved products contaminated with fertilizer, bacteria and nitrates.
DESPITE PARTIAL TRADE BANS, prices rose 2.3 percent at New Zealand's recent Global Dairy Trade (GDT) auction. The eight product mix averaged $2.24 per pound which was higher than U.S. markets.
FOR EVERY $1 OF DAIRY CHECKOFF FUNDS farmers invested in promotion, there was a return of $3.95 on enhancing fluid milk sales; $4.43 for cheese; and $6.26 for butter, stated USDA's annual report to Congress.
PUT ANOTHER WAY, beverage milk consumption was 5.8 percent higher than it would have been without dairy promotion efforts; cheese grew 2.8 percent during the same time; butter 1.4 percent.
BRIEFLY: Producers take of the retail dollar was 50.3 percent for fluid milk, 30.8 for cheese, 41.7 on butter and 29.6 for other dairy products. Milk consumption plummeted 37.4 percent when flavored milk was removed one to five days a week in California, Colorado and Illinois schools.

Going to the chapel?
Courtney Robertson, a controversial finalist on The Bachelor, was spotted trying on wedding dresses at a Mark Zunino bridal store in Beverly Hills on Wednesday.
Ben Flajnik, who handed out roses to Courtney and Lindzi Cox in Switzerland on Monday's episode, has said he feels "really connected" to the model, 28, despite warnings from the show's other women that she is more interested in "winning" than finding love.
From skinny-dipping to staging a mock wedding on her hometown date in Arizona, Courtney has been a particularly aggressive suitor.
But could a dress just be a dress?
After all, Ben also gave Lindzi a rose in Switzerland, saying in his blog post he "truly felt in love" with her.
Viewers will have to wait to find out Ben's decision. Next week, The Bachelor will air its special, The Women Tell All.
