Access for Starters: The Missing Manualby Kate J Chase Scott Palmer
Maybe you got Access as part of Microsoft Office and wonder what it can do for you and your household; maybe you're a small business manager and don't have a techie on staff to train the office in Microsoft Access. Regardless, you want to quickly get your feet wet--but not get in over your head--and Access 2003 for Starters: The Missing Manual is the book to make it happen. Far more than a skimpy introduction but much less daunting than a weighty tech book, Access 2003 for Starters: The Missing Manual demystifies databases and explains how to design and create them with ease. It delivers everything you need--and nothing you don't--to use Access right away. It's your expert guide to the Access features that are most vital and most useful, and it's your trusted advisor on the more in-depth features that are best saved for developers and programmers. Access is sophisticated and powerful enough for professional developers but easy and practical enough for everyday users like you. This Missing Manual explains all the major features of Access 2003, including designing and creating databases, organizing and filtering information, and generating effective forms and reports. Bestselling authors, database designers, and programmers Scott Palmer, Ph.D., and Kate Chase are your guides for putting the world's most popular desktop data management program to work. Their clear explanations, step-by-step instructions, plenty of illustrations, and timesaving advice help you get up to speed quickly and painlessly. Whether you're just starting out or you know you've been avoiding aspects of the program and missing out on much of what it can do, this friendly, witty book will gently immerse you in Microsoft Access. Keep it handy, as you'll undoubtedly refer to it again and again.

The county Office of Economic Development recently won a top award and $1,000 check at the 2014 International Horticulture show in Goyang City, South Korea, according to an announcement last month.
The office received the Prime Minister's Trophy for its booth that featured a large photo collage of Haleakala National Park, Iao Valley and Maui beaches, as well as Maui-grown tropical flowers and plants such as a Haleakala silversword.
Mayor Alan Arakawa and about a million other people attended the three-week-long event that ran from April 25 to May 11 at Goyang, the county's sister city.

Maui County Mayor Alan Arakawa and Goyang City Mayor Choi Sung admire a Haleakala silversword featured at the county's award-winning booth at the 2014 International Horticulture show in Goyang City, South Korea.
Arakawa requested that the $1,000 check be donated to relief funds for the victims of the South Korean ferry accident that killed nearly 300 people.
"The ferry accident was unfolding just as we arrived in South Korea," Arakawa said of the April 16 accident. "The people were stricken with unimaginable grief, and our hearts go out to all the families involved in this tragedy."
Office of Economic Development Director Teena Rasmussen and county international liaison Jeremiah Savage presented the check to the Goyang City government.
The booth was staffed by five members of the Tihati Hula Halau, Sherry Duong of the Maui Visitors Bureau, Haleakala National Park ranger Stephen Anderson and Office of Economic Development agriculture specialist Kenneth Yamamura.
Savage and flower designer Asa Ige also assisted with booth design and setup.
"Maui County produced a first-class booth and brought the aloha spirit to the people of South Korea," Rasmussen said. "We have definitely elevated the Maui brand in this part of Asia."

Extinction in Our Lifetime
Less than one percent of the tens of millions of salmon that once filled the rivers along the West Coast still exist. In recent years, fewer than 5,000 coho returned to California, down from historic runs estimated at 300,000. Our scientists state that if something is not done now, California's coho may disappear in our lifetime.
"This is one of the most urgent environmental issues we face," says Lisa Hulette, our salmon project director in California. "From forest headwaters all the way to the ocean, salmon, and the communities of fishermen who rely on them, are facing devastating challenges."
The salmon life cycle is filled with danger. Today, it is much worse. Many salmon start life in forest streams that are now too warm and filled with sediment from logging. From the headwaters to the river mouth, stream water is diverted to farms and fields, which may use agricultural chemicals that flow back into the stream.
At the coast, our degraded estuaries no longer provide the respite salmon need before heading to sea. And once in the ocean, salmon face the obvious risk of getting caught. If a salmon survives all this, it turns around and begins the difficult journey home to spawn.
"We must restore the salmon runs," says Hulette, "not only for wildlife, but also for the people who depend on salmon fisheries. In California alone, it's estimated that wild salmon are the basis of a $1.5 billion commercial and recreational fishing industry, a vital resource for many communities."
The Conservancy is taking effective action now. We're restoring streamside vegetation that keeps water temperatures cool. We've protected important spawning grounds and are working with our partners to develop sustainable timber practices. We're working on removing dams and other barriers that prevent the salmon from returning to their original home.
"With every project we know the key is to accelerate the pace of salmon recovery," says Hulette.
Your support is critical not only in saving salmon but in all our conservation work throughout California. Please continue partnering with us to expand our scientific research, protect more habitat and increase our efforts to create public policy that protects these fish and the families they support. Please send your gift today.

AirPrint now [officially] supports 100 printers
Apple is well known for making things easy, products that just work. AirPrint, the company's wireless printing solution, is no exception. Unless, of course, you don't have a compatible printer. However, in addition to the 100 printers officially supported, AirPrint Activator makes it quick and easy to use almost any OS X compatible printer.
Compatible idevices: Any iPad, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPhone 4, iPod touch (4th generation), iPhone 4S, iPhone 3GS running iOS 4.2.x or higher
Again, the good news: Apple's official AirPrint 101 page lists over 100 compatible HP, Canon, Epson and Lexmark printers. That's up from just 27 printer models back in June.
And, the rest
For OS X Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion compatible printers not listed, there's Netputing's AirPrint Activator v2, which is free and very, very easy to set up and use (YouTube).
As you can see, my relatively geriatric Kodak 5300 AIO plays just fine with AirPrint once Activator has done its thing, which is a major convenience for iPhone toting wife that prints lots of coupons.
There are AirPrint Activator versions available for PPC and Intel Macs running OS X 10.5 or higher.

Good Eats Meatloaf
- 6 ounces garlic-flavored croutons
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 onion, roughly chopped
- 1 carrot, peeled and broken
- 3 whole cloves garlic
- 1/2 red bell pepper

- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 egg
- For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup catsup
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- Dash Worcestershire sauce
- Dash hot pepper sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a food processor bowl, combine croutons, black pepper, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and thyme. Pulse until the mixture is of a fine texture. Place this mixture into a large bowl. Combine the onion, carrot, garlic, and red pepper in the food processor bowl. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped, but not pureed. Combine the vegetable mixture, ground sirloin, and ground chuck with the bread crumb mixture. Season the meat mixture with the kosher salt. Add the egg and combine thoroughly, but avoid squeezing the meat.
Pack this mixture into a 10-inch loaf pan to mold the shape of the meatloaf. Onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, turn the meatloaf out of the pan onto the center of the tray. Insert a temperature probe at a 45 degree angle into the top of the meatloaf. Avoid touching the bottom of the tray with the probe. Set the probe for 155 degrees.
Combine the catsup, cumin, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce and honey. Brush the glaze onto the meatloaf after it has been cooking for about 10 minutes.

The Origin and Relationships of the Mustang,
Barb, and Arabian Horse
Written by Deb Bennett, Ph.D.
© 2004 by Deb Bennet, Ph.D.
Hybrid Vigor
Horse breeds are like wine: the pure vintage of a single kind of grape, beautifully grown and tended, is a thing of beauty. But some very fine wines are blends, and to ignore them would be to diminish the richness of the feast. By analogy, crossing horse bloodlines has brought many unexpected delights. Genetically, this is in the very nature of hybridization, which makes possible at a cellular and molecular level some interactions between genes that would not otherwise have arisen. The release of superior qualities by crossing horses of different subspecies, that originated in far-sundered parts of the world, is a phenomenon called by biologists "hybrid vigor" and by breeders a "good nick."
As horse breeding evolved in different areas of the Old World, mankind was also perfecting another complex technology – shipbuilding and navigation. When people realized that horses could be loaded aboard boats, the possibilities for trade and conquest expanded mightily. For where roads were nonexistent or mountain ranges blocked the way, warriors could arrive with their mounts by boat like Agamemnon's soldiers in The Iliad.
Already some 3,100 years ago, from home ports at the eastern end of the Mediterranean, mariners set out to explore unknown lands to the west. Loading their horses into open-hulled boats little larger than canoes, they set out for the "pillars of Hercules" – the Straits of Gibraltar that mark the boundary between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Making perhaps 50 miles a day, these seamen-trader-warriors crept westward along the coastline of North Africa, sailing or plying their oars by day, and hauling the boats up onto the beach at night. Thus by slow increments they at least reached Gibraltar and, still clinging to the shoreline, worked their way northward up the Atlantic coast of Iberia to the Galician headlands. From there they set off on daring over-water journeys to reach the peninsulas and islands which stood, for them, at the ends of the Earth: Brittany, Cornwall, Wales, and Ireland.
To all these places they brought stallions of Afro-Turkic extraction (Fig. 6). These horses were not Arabians, for the Arabian, although it too derives from the Afro-Turkic subspecies, is exclusively the product of Bedouin taste and cultural values which came into being only after their conversion to Islam in the 7th century of the current era. The mariners who first established forts and trading colonies in Iberia, the British Isles, western France and Ireland lived before the time of Solomon, more than 1,700 years before Mohammed or the creation of the Arabian breed.
The mariners discovered when they arrived that the people of these northern and western lands had already domesticated the horse. But the type of horse native to this region was of the Draft subspecies (Fig. 3). A glance at Figs. 1 and 4 reveals great differences in the conformation and head shape of these geographically far-sundered types.
The ancient mariners brought stallions of Afro-Turkic extraction to places where they would never, in the course of nature, have gone. Yet when those stallions were permitted to cover the Draft mares, something wonderful happened. The foals which resulted were larger and sturdier than their sires, yet possessed of a hardihood and capability for endurance entirely unknown in their dams. Suddenly, for the first time, there burst forth among the offspring a whole spectrum of colors unknown in the East. Moreover, many of the foals, instead of being solid shades, came out splashed with jagged patches of white. And as if this were not enough, many of the foals showed a propensity for a rapid, ground-covering and comfortable "fast walk" gait. Here in the hinterlands there grew up a treasure that was ultimately to be of greater value than any of the other goods the eastern traders had put on their boats.
What the mariners unintentionally produced was the world's first "outcrossed" horse lineage. The cluster of closely-related breeds that they created were the foundation of the modern Welsh and Breton ponies, and of several important but now-extinct breeds from the same region: the Irish Hobby, the Old Cornish, and the Galway of Scotland. And, of course, in Iberia the same cross formed the foundation of all modern Iberian breeds. In tracing the history of the American mustang, this must be our focus.
There is a long history in Iberia of people who came there, some to trade and some to conquer. But all alike continued to value the Iberian crossbred. Through colonies founded in the West by Anatolians and Phoenicians passed this hardy and adaptable strain, and through the hands of King Solomon's traders who sailed from afar to visit the far western lands. Through the hands of Celts from the north the horses passed, and through the hands of their descendants the Celt-Iberians, who lived and kept their herds in palisaded hillforts. With the march of centuries, it passed through the hands of invading Carthaginians -- even of Hannibal himself. Through the rough hands of victorious Roman legions it passed, and through the kinder and more knowledgeable hands of Numidian cavalrymen, conscripted from North Africa by the thousands to serve in the Roman army.
The Origin of the Barb Horse of North Africa
With the fall of the Roman Empire in the fifth century A.D., through the passes of the Pyrenees there came northmen greedy for booty and land – Visigoths and Vikings. Sweeping southward through Iberia to Gibraltar, they built boats, loaded stolen Iberian horses, and took them by hundreds to North Africa. By this act, more significant than they could know, these most unlikely horse breeders began the "back cross" of the Iberian horse upon the herds of North Africa. These became the foundation of the Barbary Horse, or Barb (Fig. 7, 10, 11).

NEWARK — A 21-year-old alleged gang member who admitted he alone fatally shot three college friends in a Newark schoolyard and critically injured a fourth, will be sentenced today in court.
Melvin Jovel faces more than 200 years in prison when he appears before Superior Court Judge Michael L. Ravin this morning.
In September, Jovel pleaded guilty to three counts of murder, one count of attempted murder and weapons charges in the Aug. 4, 2007 killing behind Mount Vernon School, in a crime that shocked the city and drew national attention.
Prosecutors said Jovel and five other young men – all with alleged ties to a violent Central American street gang – set upon the four friends that night in what began as a robbery.
It quickly turned violent, and at his Sept. 22 court appearance, Jovel recounted in chilling detail how he lined up Terrance Aeriel, Iofemi Hightower and Dashon Harvey, then shot them in the head. Moments later, he shot Natasha Aeriel, Terrance's sister, in the head.
She survived; Hightower, Harvey and Terrance Aeriel died.
Natasha Aeriel, now 22, is expected to address the court before Ravin imposes his sentence, as are other victims' relatives, who have attended nearly every court proceeding since the beginning. It was not known whether anyone will speak for Jovel. His attorney, Joseph Krakora, has declined comment.
Jovel is the second defendant to be convicted in the killing. In July, the same judge sentenced Rodolfo Godinez to 245 years in prison, after a jury convicted him on all charges.
The remaining defendants, Jose Carranza, 31, Shahid Baskerville, 18, Gerardo Gomez, 18, and 20-year-old Alexander Alfaro — who is Godinez's half-brother — will be tried separately.
All but Carranza have given statements to police about the shooting. In August, an appeals court ruled Gomez's words could not be used because of a Miranda violation. A month later, it ruled similar statements from Alfaro and Baskerville were permissible.

Brendan Fraser, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Steve Buscemi, Michael McKean
The only similarity between this lame pop-music-scene satire and its obvious role model, the widely esteemed This Is Spinal Tap, is that McKean appears in both films, in Spinal Tap as a haughtily ignorant rhythm guitarist and in Airheads as a haughtily ignorant radio-station program director.
Otherwise, this dead-end project is typified by the unimaginative, crass script by Rich Wilkes, in which Fraser proclaims the sincerity of his commitment to rock music by announcing, "I ain't just pulling pud here!"
The plot in this listless farce posits Fraser and his bandmates, Buscemi and Sandler, as a Los Angeles group so desperate for attention that they take over a radio station and stumble into holding its employees hostage until the band's demo tape is played on the air.
Fraser is joined in flagrant overacting by Joe Mantegna, who is about 40 years too old to be playing a heavy-metal disc jockey. Seinfeld's, Michael Richards is wasted as a station executive, as is Farley, playing a bumptious cop (though he does get to rip the nipple ring off one creep). The flimsy Judd Nelson has a few feeble scenes as a ruthless record-company executive. Amy Locane, as Fraser's feckless housemate, and Nina Siemaszko, as a ditzy radio-station secretary, have the only female parts with anything resembling substance. And the always anemic-seeming Buscemi, looking especially cadaverous and disengaged, could sink the band's hopes all by himself. In the be-thankful-for small-favors department, he, Fraser and Sandler sing only one song. (PG-13)

Life of a Salesman
Despite Slammed Doors and a Lifelong Disability, Bill Porter, Ever Optimistic, Became a Door-to-Door Phenomenon
Porter's is one of those jaw-dropping, grit-and-gumption stories that could be a TV movie, and is: Door to Door, which will air July 14 on TNT, tells a very personal tale of quiet heroism and private victories. "Bill's whole attitude is 'I never did anything heroic. I had to pay the rent,' " says actor William H. Macy, the Fargo star who plays Porter and cowrote the script (with director Steven Schachter) after seeing a 20/20 piece on Porter. "It's because of this stoical, can-do attitude, this indomitable spirit, that we're allowed to cry."
Porter would probably prefer you didn't. Born in San Francisco in 1932, the only child of a housewife and a salesclerk, he says he wasn't allowed to dwell on his disability, which left his right side twisted and his speech slurred. His mother, Irene, "was always very positive," says Porter, "and she insisted that I be the same way." When he was 17, she enrolled him in public high school, and upon graduation his father, Ernest, insisted that he get a job—a task easier said than done. After four months of daily rejections, Porter's employment agency told him to go home and collect welfare. So he combed the want ads himself, eventually applying for a job with Watkins, the nation's oldest door-to-door sales company. "I had to convince them," recalls Porter. "They gave me the worst territory, and I worked strictly on commission." His mother would write out the word "persistence" on a slip of paper and hide it in his lunch bag.
After a year Porter began winning sales awards. Nothing could dampen his enthusiasm. When people refused to open the door or slammed it in his face, he would silently repeat the mantra "The next customer will say yes." Many did—even if Porter had to work on them for years. "He just never takes rejection personally," says Watkins president Mark Jacobs. "He's relentless. He's irresistible."
And indomitable. Each day Porter—who lived with his mother—would wake at 4:45 a.m. and spend 90 minutes dressing himself before catching a 7:30 bus, the first of two that would take him to his west Portland, Ore., sales territory by 9. Often he wouldn't return home until after 7 p.m. When his mother went into a nursing home in the mid-1980s (his father had died in 1962), Porter had to ask the bellhops at a downtown hotel to take over one of her tasks—buttoning his collar and attaching his clip-on tie each morning.
But Porter kept working. In 1985 he hired a young mother, Shelly Brady, to be his delivery driver and housekeeper. They soon progressed from "employer and employee to just great friends," she says. She helped Porter cope with the loss of his mother to Alzheimer's in 1989. Then, in 1993, after a five-month recovery from back surgery left him without any income and unable to make his mortgage payments, Brady and her husband, John, scraped together enough cash to buy his house and rent it back to him for next to nothing.
In 1998, after the 20/20 piece ran, Porter was barraged by invitations from corporations like Amway and Nike eager to have him visit as a motivational speaker. At Brady's urging he agreed and would stand beside her while she did most of the talking. "You meet him and realize that what's important is what's inside of us," says Brady, 39, whose book Ten Things I Learned from Bill Porter came out in June. "Once you hear his story it just puts everything in perspective."
Porter says he's happy to inspire, but selling will always be his main game. Hit by a car in 1997, he hasn't been able to walk his beat, so he now phones his 500 regular customers from a tiny desk in his bedroom. "I can't imagine ever retiring," he says. "My customers are like family." He never married ("There was a time I had a crush on someone," he says, "but nothing ever came of it") and still lives in his mother's home, spending his free time watching Matlock reruns or listening to sports on the radio. Asked if he's surprised by what he has achieved, he looks nonplussed, then replies, "It never entered my mind that I couldn't."

Hudson County apparently is one of the most popular counties in the state for those looking to play a hand of poker, pull down on a slot machine or roll the dice from the comfort of their own homes.
During the first 100 days of legal online gambling in New Jersey, three Hudson County cities ranked among the top 20 municipalities in the state in terms of usage on web sites operated by Caesars Interactive, according to a study done by the company.
Jersey City ranked No. 2 on the list, while Hoboken (No. 4) and Bayonne (No. 14) were not far behind. North Bergen came in at 26th on the list, while Union City and Kearny are also among the top 80. Toms River was No. 1 on the list, which is based on data collected from Nov. 21, 2013 to Feb. 28 this year.
"We don't have any rationale for why it is that the towns rank so high," said Caesars Interactive spokesman Seth Palansky. "We have just strictly pulled the numbers for the first 100 days of operating in the marketing and that is what the data shows us. There is no linkage, special marketing or initiatives targeting (Hudson County) over others."
While the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement does not have information publicly available on internet gaming accounts by area or winnings, 291,241 accounts have been created on the 14 DGE-approved websites. Seven casinos — the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, the Tropicana Casino and Resort, Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort, Bally's Atlantic City and Caesars Atlantic City, and the Golden Nugget — account for the running of those sites.
With New Jersey now legalizing online gambling — the third state to do so after Nevada and Delaware — Caesars Interactive sees these signups as just the beginning. Caesars Interactive runs HarrahsCasino.com, CaesarsCasino.com and WSOP.com.
Through the first 100 days, the average user spent 43 minutes on HarrahsCasino.com and CaesarsCasino.com, while users on the World Series of Poker site spent an average of 76 minutes online, according to Caesars Interactive. WSOP.com saw 26 percent of play on its site done through mobile devices, including tablets and smartphones.
"The truth is that we didn't know what to expect since it's a new activity, a new sort of business opportunity in the market," said Palansky. "We are very pleased though of where we are now, having registered 63,000 people up for accounts on our various sites in the first 100 days. It's pacing very well and the interest seems to be there."

Key Things to Know About This Flu Season
THE SITUATION: The annual flu season hit about a month early this year, and illness is now widespread in 47 states. Many cases are caused by a flu strain that tends to make people sicker. There are signs the flu may have already peaked in a few states.
THE VACCINE: This season's vaccine is well-matched to the circulating strains, and there's still some available. It is 62 percent effective. It's recommended for everyone 6 months or older.
THE DEFENSE: Besides a flu shot, wash hands, and avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Keep away from sick people.
THE TREATMENT: Most people will get a mild case and can help themselves and protect others by staying home and resting. But people with severe symptoms should see a doctor.

About us
Triple-S (Sustainable Services at Scale) is a six-year, multi-country learning initiative to improve water supply to the rural poor. It is led by IRC .
The initiative is currently operating in Ghana and Uganda . Lessons learned from work in countries feeds up to the international level where Triple-S is promoting a re-appraisal of how development assistance to the rural water supply sector is designed and implemented.
Why target rural water supply?
Of the billion people still without access to a reliable, nearby source of safe water, nine out of ten live in rural areas.
Why focus on sustainability?
From 1990 to 2006 coverage rates in 19 countries in sub-Saharan Africa increased by just 10%, and the absolute numbers of unserved have gone up by 37 million. This despite investments by governments, donors, and NGOs to meet the MDG target on water supply and sanitation.
To make matters worse, many of those who supposedly count as having been 'served' actually have systems that are not working properly or that have failed completely. The 2007 study by the Rural Water Supply Network found 36% of hand pumps across 21 countries in sub-Saharan Africa were not functional. This level of failure represents a waste of between $1.2 and 1.5 billion in investments. More recent studies across different countries and technologies confirm a repeated pattern of failure.
How do we change the picture?
It is not so much a matter of financial resources or technological solutions, as it is the approach to deploying resources and solutions.
- We need to shift our aim from building systems to building services – with attention to long-term sustainability and post-construction support, such as training for staff, availability of spare parts and supply chains and markets for rural water supply goods and services.
- We need to shift our focus from projects for 'communities' at village level to services for populations within larger administrative units such as districts, which are much more effective for scaling up.
- We need to improve coordination and harmonisation within government-led processes, so that everyone is following the same rules and working towards the same goals.
What is Triple-S doing?
Triple-S is promoting these shifts by working with partners on the ground in Ghana and Uganda and at the International level.
At the country level, Triple-S is working with local partners to:
- Diagnose the problem – to see what's working and what's not in terms of policies and practices.
- Develop, test and implement new solutions at the district level.
- Scale-up successful models .
- Strengthen sector learning and knowledge management.
At the international level, activities include:
- Capturing and sharing positive examples and learning from organisations and governments that are making the shift to more sustainable approaches, including partners in Ghana and Uganda.
- Developing and promoting tools and concepts for sustainable service delivery.
- Working with donors, international financial institutions, NGOs and development partners to incorporate sustainability concerns into rural water sector programmes and improve harmonisation and alignmen t.
What makes Triple-S different?
- Systemic but realistic approach : Creating water services that last requires coordinated changes at multiple levels. Triple-S has developed concepts and tools to help us see the big picture of what kind of change is needed, such as the principles framework and the service delivery approach , but also to look realistically at how and where change is possible, taking a step-by-step approach using building blocks .
- Focus on learning : The Triple-S approach goes beyond just fixing current problems to build a stronger rural water sector that can learn and adapt to new challenges.
- Emphasis on legacy : Conventional methods of technical assistance have limits in terms of ownership, and once the project ends so too do the benefits. Triple-S does not operate like a 'project' rather it is attempting to catalyse a movement, working with existing platforms and initiatives and building on processes, energy and interest that is already there.

A couple weeks ago I ordered some soap from Boondock G Soapery on etsy. (this purchase was instigated by a post on Soap Obsessions). As soon as the words "soap" and "sale" were mentioned in the same sentence I was a goner.
Add to that the fact that their soaps are primarily made with coconut oil, which, as I've already mentioned, is pretty much my favorite bath and body ingredient, and I was definitely going to be making a purchase.
I ordered a bar of Serenade {rosewood & pikake} and Victorian Black {violet & heather}. The owner was kind enough to include a sample of Little Queenie soap and Miss Laura Perfume Oil.
I've almost used up my bar of Serenade and I really like the soap - although neither of the scents are very strong. It lathers up a lot and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry after I shower...although I still use lotion because I have the driest skin ever...and I like being extra smelly.
Miss Laura is described as ~
Night-blooming florals of tuberose and jasmine with white southern magnolia blossoms ~ drops of sticky chocolate honey. Quite southern belle-ish with a naughty side.…all wrapped in one.I think that the scents go exactly in the opposite order they're described. At first I smelled the chocolate sent, with undertones of honey. The floral scent was there but really game out as the oil dried down, and was quite strong. All in all this isn't really a scent for me - I'm not a fan of foodie scents at all - BUT I know chocolate is a very popular scent with most people and I think this perfume oil might be worth their notice.
I really like BoondockG's soaps and might make some orders in the future, although I have quite a long wishlist to work my way though first :)

Great Card
By Nanamimi147
from Brooklyn, New York
I order the same card every year. It was one with Santa kneeling at the Christ Child. It is no longer available so I chose this card this year. Considering all the things going on in our world, this card incorporates our love for America, Brooklyn and especially the Reason for the Season!! My husband was very happy with this selection. It is a very well made card and it's Made in America!
Personalized Cards
By KC
from Piner, KY
I thought these cards were just what I wanted, but was a little disappointed in the overall finish of them. I really was not expecting them to be a full sheet that had to be folded - very bulky - not sure why they weren't just on half sheet. It was a definitely a time saver to have the cards imprinted. Overall, not bad - just not great!
Not as "touching" as I thought it would be

Nice cards
By Malibugrammie

I really like the sentiment in these cards and the patriotism as well. The return address on the envelope is so faint that you can hardly see it, but I'll just put a label over it.
By Sandy
from Chapmanville, WV
This was a beautiful Christmas card, with the United States flag being displayed so honorably.We have received such sweet compliments on this Christmas card. One receiver stated, "of all the Christmas cards we have received, the one we sent was the most beautiful and meaningful."
I have bought for 30 yrs. Love them!
By none
from Rockland, Ma
The Christmas cards are great especially the ones that have silhouettes and list your name, address, town etc. I have relatives that are out of state and love the cards. Please put the "collie" back in the silhouette cards. People look forward to the cards.

B.J. Rickett (University of California San Diego), A. Witzel, A. Kraus, T.P. Krichbaum (Max Planck Institut fur Radioastronomie)
The quasar 0917+624 has been one of the best studied intraday variable (IDV) radio sources. However, debate continues as to whether the underlying cause is intrinsic or extrinsic. Much previous work has assumed the IDV to be intrinsic and to imply an extraordinarily compact source for the radio emission; in contrast, an extrinsic variation due to interstellar scintillation (ISS) implies a relatively larger source diameter, though at the lower end of the range expected for relativistic jet models.
Kraus et al. (A&A, 352, L107, 1999) reported a marked slowing of the IDV at 6cm wavelength in September 1998, and suggested a change in the source was responsible. However, here we show that the slowing is consistent with the annual modulation in scintillation time-scale expected for ISS, under the assumption that the scatttering medium moves with the local standard of rest (LSR). The ISS time scale is governed by the ISS spatial scale divided by the Earth's velocity relative to the scattering plasma. It happens that in the direction of 0917+624 the transverse velocity of the Earth with respect to the LSR varies widely with a deep minimum in the months of September to November. Hence the slowing of the IDV in September 1998 confirms that ISS, rather than intrinsic variation, is the underlying cause of the IDV.

Suspects In Waka Flocka Shooting Take Police On High Speed Chase
Police in Charlotte, North Carolina have revealed that a high speed chase that took place in the city last night was connected to a shooting involving Waka Flocka Flames.
Authorities in Charlotte have been looking for two suspects and two vehicles, one an old Land Rover and the other a white Dodge Charger.
According to local news channel WSOC, undercover officers spotted the Dodge Charger last night.
When officers arrived, the vehicle sped off and struck a police cruiser, while attempting to flee.
Suspects in the vehicle jumped out and ran off, leaving police with the Dodge to analyze.
Police believe the men in the Dodge Charger were responsible for firing upon Waka Flocka's tour bus on Wednesday (February 16th).
One man suffered a gunshot wound to his shoulder during the shooting, which took place at the Car Stereo Warehouse on Charlotte's Eastside.
Waka Flocka Flames has not been charged with any crime.

Grand Opening of the Maryland Transition One-Stop Career Center
First Out of State One-Stop Center Established
BALTIMORE (4-25-08) Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation Secretary Thomas E. Perez and Assistant Secretary for Workforce Development Andrew A. Moser announced the first out-of-state One-Stop Transition Career Center, established by Maryland to serve BRAC impacted citizens of New Jersey.
Todays event is about providing the necessary resources to make the transition easier for those workers that will move to Maryland. Our state was chosen to play a greater role in our nations defense, and this is one of many efforts underway in Maryland to support the smooth transition of military operations mandated by BRAC, Secretary Perez said. I hope the New Jersey workers considering moving to Maryland will take advantage of the wealth of resources offered here at the transition center.
Officials from Maryland, as well as the Aberdeen Proving Ground and Fort Monmouth Base commanders, were at the grand opening of the center at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, which will provide transitional services for BRAC impacted personnel. The center will be staffed by professionals to serve New Jersey families moving from Fort Monmouth to Maryland. Resources available at the center include job search and training information, tools for professionals who will need to be registered or licensed to work in Maryland, community and housing resources, and a host of other resources to help prepare for the move.
Maryland is building the physical infrastructure that will support the growth at Aberdeen Proving Ground and down the road at Fort Meade, and were working to ensure we have the human capital we will need as well, said Assistant Secretary Moser. We want to make this process as simple as possible for those workers who will follow their jobs to Maryland.
Major General Dennis L. Via - Commanding General, CECOM Life Cycle Management Command Fort Monmouth; Colonel Jeffrey S. Weissman - Commander of the US Army Garrison, Aberdeen Proving Ground; Maryland Higher Education Commission Secretary James E. Lyons Sr., and Harford County Executive David R. Craig participated in the event.

Mike Rowe
Former Host of Dirty Jobs on The Discovery Channel
Mike Rowe? Email us Give Us a Call
Mike Rowe hosted and co-created Discover Channel's Dirty Jobs, a wildly entertaining and heartfelt tribute to the pleasures of hard work. From 2005 to 2012, Rowe served as a good-humored apprentice on a series of unglamorous jobs, from boiler repairman to abandoned mine plugger. No scripts, no rehearsals, no second takes. Rowe worked as a musician and a late night QVC pitchman before landing Dirty Jobs. He worked in hundreds of "dirty jobs," holding more jobs than perhaps anyone in the world, even if each job lasted only for a day. His new series, Somebody's Gotta Do It, brings viewers face-to-face with men and women who march to the beat of a different drum. In each episode, Rowe visits unique individuals and joins them in their respective undertakings, paying tribute to innovators, do-gooders, entrepreneurs, collectors, fanatics—people who simply have to do it. This show is about passion, purpose, and occasionally, hobbies that get a little out of hand. It airs on CNN.
Why Dirty Jobs Matter
Why has America declared a war on work? In this talk, Mike Rowe gives an illuminating account of the true nature of skilled labor, and why it's being devalued by the media, advertising, and even the government. Why are people who do dirty jobs some of the happiest people you'll ever meet? How do they achieve a work-life symmetry others can't? What lessons can we learn about teamwork, determination, efficiency, and our definition of success? With conviction, humor and deep humanity, Mike Rowe brings us face-to-face with Americans who are simply doing their jobs, happily and well. In the process, he reminds us of the enormous but forgotten benefits of hard, honest work, and how it affects everything from our national identity to our infrastructure to the economy.

5 Tips For Work-At-Home Dadsjasonavant
I've been a work-at-home dad for a few years now, and despite what you may think, it can be as much of a curse as it is a blessing. I read Mike Spohr's take on his experiences, and most of it rings true for me (except the part about missing the weird guy from Accounting – Stanley, I never cared for your World Of Warcraft stories, and telling them to me while we were both parked in front of urinals didn't help).
I'll preface these tips with this: if your company allows you to work from home, consider yourself lucky. I'm a recruiter/HR consultant by trade, and as such have been able to leverage technology – all I need to do my job is a laptop and a phone, and over the past five years, my employers have recognized that I can and do actually work smarter and harder from my home office than from a cubicle, with its myriad distractions. Most of us, though, work in fields that require at least some time in an office or workplace. If you're a dad and are testing the Work-From-Home waters, here are five tips that will save you headaches, heartaches, and possibly your job.
Set Your Office Hours, With Your Boss AND Your Family. 1 of 5Make sure everyone - especially your employer, but also your spouse and kids - knows when you're "at your desk". This way the boss will know when to reach you, and your family will know that you're working.
Call Your Co-Workers Whenever You Can. 2 of 5We've become an email-dependant society, which can be a bad thing for a remote employee. Calling the folks back at the corporate office on a regular basis reminds them you're an actual living person, not just a name on a distro list. You won't think you'll miss having actual conversations with your teammates, even Stanley The Weird, but you will. And maintaining communication with your boss and co-workers will help fend off the impression that you're kicking back at home, watching that "Firefly" marathon on the SyFy Channel instead of doing your job. (Unless your job is TV Critic.)
Take A Break And Get Some Exercise. 3 of 5It's very easy to become a desk potato in a home office. Set aside some break time, get outside and take a walk, pop in a PDX90 disc, or go hit your local gym. Not only is it good for you physically, exercise is a great way to kickstart your PowerPoint-numbed brain.
Stay Focused. Avoid The TV At All Costs. 4 of 5It's very tempting, that "Firefly" marathon. Resist. One of the benefits of working from home is that you'll find that you're able to concentrate and do much more, free from the normal distractions of the workplace. What you CAN do: listen to whatever music suits you, because you are no longer at the mercy of your cubemate, and his "Best Of Kenny Loggins" CD.
Enjoy Your Freedom. 5 of 5Most employers that allow their employees to work from home do so because they trust those folks to get the work done - and understand that there will be times when you won't be chained to your desk. Take advantage of this: spend a little extra time with your family, or do something cool for yourself. That freedom is the biggest perk of all.

Voting Record on Park Issue Earns Prestigious Honor
(WASHINGTON) Congressman Richard E. Neal was honored today with the "Friend of the National Parks Award" from the nonpartisan National Park Conservation Association (NPCA) for his contribution to protecting and enhancing America's national parks. The award was presented to 157 Members of Congress for their support of legislation that upheld the standards and integrity of the National Park System. Neal has been a consistent recipient of this prestigious honor for more than a decade.
"I have always been a champion of the 400 National Parks here in the United States. Millions of Americans visit these natural and historic treasures each year. We have an obligation to preserve and protect them for future generations to enjoy. I am proud to receive this prestigious honor again from the National Park Conservation Association," said Congressman Richard E. Neal.
NPCA'S "Friend of the National Park Award" was established in 1999 to track and publicize congressional members' votes on significant park issues. This year, NPCA compiled votes for seven national park-related bills in the House. To receive the award, representatives had to support a majority of the environmental related initiatives. Recipients of the award received a framed reproduction of an art-deco color poster of Sequoia National Park in the style of those produced in the 1930's for the National Park Service by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration.
"We are grateful that our Members of Congress have demonstrated a solid commitment to preserving America's national parks," said NPCA Acting President Theresa Pierno. "As the National Park Service approaches its centennial in 2016, support for our friends in Congress is essential to ensure places like Yellowstone, Gettysburg, and the Everglades are preserved and protected for our children and grandchildren to enjoy,"
Since 1919, the nonpartisan National Park Conservation Association has been the leading voice of the American people in protecting and enhancing our National Park System. NPCA, its 800,000 members and supporters, and many partners work together to protect the park system and preserve our natural, historical, and cultural heritage for our children and grandchildren. For more information, visit: www.npca.org.

This week turned into one of those chaotic ones. A seemingly groundhog-esque loop of plumbers and removal men, plumbers and removal men.
So cooking and blogging has taken a backseat. I had a fancy-pants bake to share with you but just never got the chance. So with the weekend looming and no blog post in sight, I scanned my "to bake" list and found these easy-peasy flapjacks to make instead.
As it's winter here in SA and berries aren't in season, I've used frozen raspberries but you could use fresh fruit if you prefer. Toasting the coconut adds a little extra nuttiness but you can skip that step if you wish. Similarly the yoghurt drizzle is a nice but not strictly necessary addition. If you do omit the icing then these flapjacks are really good served warm, with custard.
This is my entry into July's Recipes for Life Challenge hosted by Vanesther over at Bangers & Mash and the folks at SWALLOW, a charity that supports adults with learning disabilities to lead more independent lives. The nominated ingredients this month are oats, berries and honey.
I am also entering this post into the Tea Time Treats challenge (co-hosted by Lavender and Lovage and What Kate Baked) as the theme is fresh fruit treats.
Raspberry and Toasted Coconut Flapjacks with Yoghurt Drizzle
- 100g desiccated coconut
- 170g unsalted butter
- 100g honey or golden syrup
- 120g brown sugar
- 350g porridge oats
- 200g fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 1/2 tsp natural yoghurt
- 3 1/2 tbsp icing sugar
1. Preheat the oven to 160C and line a 20cm x 20cm baking tin with baking paper.
2. Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and spread the coconut in an even layer over the base of the pan. Toast for about 4-5 minutes, stirring regularly until fragrant and a light golden brown. Remove from the heat.
3. Melt the butter, honey (or golden syrup) and brown sugar in a pan over a low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
4. Mix the oats with the coconut and three-quarters of the raspberries. Pour in the butter mixture and stir well so that everything is incorporated. Tip the mixture into the lined tin and smooth with the back of a spoon. Scatter over the remaining raspberries and push lightly into the mixture.
5. Bake the flapjack for about 45 minutes or until golden brown and crispy at the edges. Leave to cool completely in the tin before turning out and cutting into 16 pieces.
6. Mix the yoghurt with the icing sugar to create a smooth paste and drizzle over the flapjack pieces. Leave to set before serving.

The bizarre recruiting saga of wide receiver Demarcus Robinson of Fort Valley, Ga., came to end Monday when he announced he had chosen Florida over Clemson.
The 6-2, 200-pound Robinson is rated by Rivals.com as the nations No. 5 receiver prospect in the 2013 class.
Robinson, who is the nephew of former South Carolina and NFL receiver Marcus Robinson, had gone back and forth for the past few weeks. He first committed to Clemson in July, decommitted Dec. 12 and committed to Florida. But, five days later, Robinson was back in the fold with Clemson. However, upon his arrival at the Army All-Star Game in San Antonio last week, Robinson said he was not committed any longer and would announce his choice during last Saturdays game.
And during the week, Robinson told the media he was favoring Florida. But he decided on Friday not to make his announcement Saturday. His coach said Saturday that Robinson was favoring Clemson and would make the final call Sunday. But Robinson said after the all-star game that he might not have a decision until Monday, and he included Notre Dame, again, in his final decision. He took an official visit to South Bend, Ind., in early November. Robinson confirmed what his coach said, that Clemson came out of the weekend as his leader.
Clemson is in the lead right now, Robinson told Rivals.com. Im leaning towards Clemson a little bit right now. They won their (bowl) game and they have the top offense in the nation, so why wouldnt I want to go there?
Coaches from Clemson and Florida met with Robinson after Saturdays game. He will enroll early at Florida.
In other recruiting news:
Another prospect who put off his all-star game announcement was OL NaTy Rodgers of Pomfret, Md. He was set to announce for USC or Maryland on Friday at the Under Armour Game in St. Petersburg, Fla. He has not said when he will announce, but he does plan to take his official visit to USC on Jan. 18. He has taken his official visit to Maryland. Rodgers publicly has been favoring USC, but some of his all-star teammates told media last week he was going to sign with Maryland.
USC and Clemson did pick up a commitment each from all-stars who did make their announcements.
The Gamecocks landed RB David Williams of Philadelphia. Williams picked the Gamecocks over Arizona State, which he visited officially in September. He also considered Penn State, Ohio State and Miami.
Williams rushed for over 1,800 yards and 24 TDs this season, and with Marcus Lattimore and Kenny Miles leaving USC, hell be looking for an early chance to play.
Williams is the 20th commitment for the Gamecocks 2013 class.
And Clemson gained DE Ebenezer Ogundeko from Brooklyn. He chose the Tigers over Syracuse.
Its the coaches, and I just felt comfortable there, he said. Its not far from home. Im just ready to go there and compete in the ACC.
He will enroll at Clemson this week and will be able to go through spring practice. Ogundeko also took official visits to Arizona State and Florida. This season, Ogundeko totaled 74 tackles and 17 sacks. He had 12 sacks as a junior. Hes the 16th commitment for Clemsons 2013 class.
DE Robert Nkemdiche of Grayson, Ga., said last week at the Under Armour Game that Mississippi is now his favorite.
It would be hard to see myself not going to Ole Miss because it is a family thing, Nkemdiche said. My whole family wants me to go there. They are on the rise and doing a lot of good things. Ole Miss is the team to beat, but LSU is still in the mix, too.
LB Rueben Foster of Auburn, Ala., said last week at the Under Armour Game he will take an official visit to USC this month. Foster, a former commitment to Alabama and Auburn, said he will also visit Alabama, Auburn, Georgia and Washington. He has not set any official dates but said hes looking at visiting Washington on Friday.
LB Jonathan Walton of Mobile, Ala., met with USC linebackers coach Kirk Botkin on Friday and set his official visit to USC for Jan. 18. Auburn also visited with Walton on Friday. He has been committed to Penn State and, for now, is holding to that.
USC is working its way into a strong position with DL Deadrin Senat of Immokalee, Fla. Senat said he talked to his Gamecocks recruiter GA Mangus recently.
I really want to go there, but Ive got to visit there first, Senat said.
Clemson target DB Adrian Baker talked last week with Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables and new secondary coach Mike Reed. He also talked to Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops. Baker, who decommitted from Florida State a couple of weeks ago, has Clemson and Oklahoma as his current top two.
Nebraska offered Gaffney DE Jaylen Miller last week. Some of his other offers are Tennessee, Florida, LSU, Kentucky, Wake Forest, Maryland, Georgia Tech and N.C. State.
USC commitment DB Pharoh Cooper of Havelock, N.C., played free safety in the Offense-Defense Game in Houston last week. Cooper was outstanding in the Shrine Bowl and was North Carolinas Offensive MVP. He has been committed to USC since May, but North Carolina continues to work him and met with him Friday at his school.
They are trying to get me to flip, Cooper said. Im just taking it in. Im solid to the Gamecocks.
Cooper said the only official visit he plans to make is to USC on Jan. 19. The Gamecocks have Cooper in line for a job in the secondary, but hes also eying the return game.
ATH Malcolm Means of Lewisville, a Shrine Bowler this year, received a qualifying test score just after Christmas and has seen his recruiting take off, according to his coach, William Mitchell. N.C. State recently stepped up with an offer, as well as Louisiana-Lafayette. S.C. State and Youngstown State also have offered. North Carolina also is showing strong interest. This season, Means rushed for 1,043 yards and 10 touchdowns and had 28 catches for 580 yards and 7 touchdowns. On defense, Means had 28 tackles, five tackles for loss, four sacks and four interceptions, returning two for touchdowns.
ATH Mykal Moody of Conway received renewed interest from Clemson and USC after his Shrine bowl performance. Neither has offered Moody, but both reached out to him after the game. Another school that renewed its interest in Moody was Marshall. Moody is also hearing from Miami and Texas A&M. Two schools he plans to visit are Marshall and East Carolina, and he is still considering visits to USC and Clemson.
DB Ryan Carter of Loganville, Ga., is waiting to hear from Clemson as he begins to plan his visits. Mississippi, East Carolina and Maryland could be destinations for those trips.
Northwestern junior QB Mason Rudolph has been offered by LSU and Virginia Tech thus far and is looking for more. USC is among the other schools showing some interest. Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina and Notre Dame also are showing interest. Rudolph will go to some junior days this spring at the schools which have offered him. He does not have a favorite. This season, Rudolph passed for nearly 4,000 yards and 41 touchdowns, and he rushed for nearly 500 yards and 10 scores.
Clemson is one of 27 offers for DB Tony Brown of Beaumont, Texas. Brown plays corner and safety and can also play receiver. Some of his other offers are Alabama, Texas, LSU, Texas A&M and Florida. He was going to visit Clemson last summer but didnt make it, and he might visit this summer. Brown said he will not make an early decision and will go through the entire recruiting process. He does not have a favorite.
DL Zeek Rodney of South Pointe has not been offered yet but feels USC or North Carolina will be the first. Hes hearing from those two along with Clemson and LSU. He went to games this season at USC, Clemson and North Carolina. Rodney said he will visit LSU for a junior day Feb. 9. He does not have a favorite. This season Rodney had 133 tackles with 27 sacks and 26 tackles for loss.
LHP Josh Reagan (6-1, 160) of Lexington committed to USC last week for the 2013 class, according to DiamondProspects.com. He had been committed to College of Charleston but backed off after the Cougars announced they were leaving the Southern Conference for the Colonial. Last season, Reagan was 7-0 with a 1.02 ERA. He allowed nine earned runs in 62 innings.
