Those Pesky
Did you know that you have a bonanza of great little critters right there in your own home? It's true! While you have been slavishly indulging in the lost art of home cleaning, you could be reaping the rewards of leaving it alone. The trick is to not let the bunnies talk you into taking out that mop.
Of course, to start with you have to show those little dust bunnies just who the boss is around here. Sure, they are cute hiding under that sofa. You might even consider them your friends because they love to come visit when guests show up. But if you are firm with them, you can tame them and make them your dust bunny slaves.
Most folks believe that dust bunnies don't need anything but neglect to thrive. While that may seen to be true on the surface of things, don't believe it for a minute. To get truly beautiful fluffy dust bunnies that will be your pride and joy you need to care for them. Feed them a little cat or dog fur, even if you have to steal it from the neighbor, you can be sure they won't mind. This will encourage your dust bunnies and help them get big and strong.
Of course, it all comes down to what you can sell that dust bunny for on the open market. Artists often love to buy the more colorful dust bunnies for collages. If you know someone who is an artist, ask them if they can use them. Knitters are notorious for constantly searching for new and exciting material to knit. Local knitters might pay good money for the right dust bunny fur.
So take another look at your home cleaning duties. Don't waste any more of your precious time mopping those floors or sweeping behind the door of that closet. Encourage those little dust bunnies to grow into big ones, and then sell them off to the highest bidder. Who needs to eat off of a floor anyways?

I'd Like To Write A Sonnet Just In Fun - Poem by Paul Moosberg
I wrote to write my thoughts in clarity
I wrote to write ideas and views that storm
You see I wrote to write tranquility
But now I want to write in sonnet form
I like emotions locked inside fourteen
Inside with beats I've never known before
The sonnet life has rule as code adds mien
To quench my thirst for laws that I explore
I lay the code in mind to bring feelings
With beats I join to capture its allure
In words I write to form with beats freeing
To play amongst the codes that I procure
I will reread and learn as I arrange
With feelings that will flow as beats will change

Goodbye, Second Winter. Welcome, Spring Cleaning Projects!
In Colorado, we have what we call "Second Winter." There is regular winter which starts about Mid-November and lasts until Mid-March. Then, we have a handful of really nice, mild, warm, Spring-like days, then WHAMO! Second Winter! Which last until about May 1st. The problem with Second Winter is that you just start feeling the motivation to accomplish some Spring cleaning and organizing projects and then the *welcome mat of motivation gets ripped from underneath you.
Now that the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and I'm back to shaving my legs and painting my toenails on a regular basis, the motivation to complete some organizing projects I've been putting off has come back. I took my *Simon Malls gift card to Mesa Mall to buy some things I needed to get me going!
My next purchase was this *handy-dandy drawer organizer. Found in the kitchen section, they are meant for the family utility drawer, a.k.a., the junk drawer, but I used it to organize my jewelry drawer in my master bathroom.
wardrobe consultant who specializes in closet organization. One of her tips is to have matching hangers. A few years ago she came to help me cull wardrobe and fine-tune my style. She filled my closet with all matching hangers. Over time, my closet has been adulterated by other types of hangers:/ I thought it was time to get back to the single-hanger style once again. She recommends these clear hangers with swivel heads.
What a difference matching hangers make?! Right?! A little arranging by color goes a long way for a more organized look, too.
She also recommends using totes for loose items like belts and scarves and using clear bins to house shoes. Especially if you spend the $$$, on shoes you will want to protect your investment by storing them nicely.
Spring has sprung! The air is clear! No more Second Winter for me, my dear!
*Thanks to Simon Malls for sponsoring this blog post and for jump-starting my Spring cleaning and organizing projects.
**Don't miss National Mom's Night Out, May 9th, starting at 5 p.m. They'll have special prizes, exclusive discounts, and even a chance to win Country Jam Tickets!

It's always nice to get organizing isn't it? There is just something hopeful about it once it is done (although it can be overwhelming to get started).

Best organizing tool? Moving. You can get rid of tons of crap/stuff you no longer want/need.

You're getting me excited to do some organizing! I'm thinking my kids' closets could use some work!

I just did the same thing with my closet last week - "colored" my clothes. Still have the shoes to deal with.
Very fun! Now I'm all inspired to be springy :)

"Second Winter" reminds me of The Fellowship of the Rings. They mention "Second Breakfast" which is an important meal for Hobbits.
Yes, I am a nerd through and through.

Hi, Annie! I'm currently trying to organize my closet and use this guide how to organize closet. Could you please ask your sister to explain what is more sensible: to arrange the clothed by color or by its type? What do you think of using the services like this http://clothesaid.co.uk/specialcollections/charity-champions/collection/?

In the last offerings we saw that Prabhuji explained that
1. Nothing is in our hands and everything is in the Lord's hands. So destiny is really not under our control.
2. But we plan so many things. So how to know Krishna's plans? Prabhuji explained that this begins with accepting that we do not know His plans.
3. The next question is how to accept Krishna's plans and it begins with the conviction that we do not want what Krishna does not want for us.
4. Having accepted His plans how to execute the plans? Here Prabhuji explained that it has to be done with faith and without envy.
The result of implicitly following the vision of the Lord is liberation from destiny and in the last mail, the pastime of killing Jayadratha was offered. Here we continue with the pastime of Duryodhana and Gandhari.
5. Liberation from destiny: When Jayadratha was killed by the clever plan of Krishna, when that terrible incident happened, Duryodhana was pacing up and down in the night and he was thinking, "What is this? The clouds just came and then went! I am not a weather-man. This Krishna is just too much." Gandhari, his mother was thinking, "I must protect my son. This is cheating. With Krishna on their side, they have it all easy." Gandhari thought, "I have my siddhi." So she said, "My dear Duryodhana, come and see me in the night without any clothes. When you stand before my eyes, I will take off the blindfold and by the force of my siddhi over the years, I will make you so strong that no one can touch you." So in the dead of night, (because one has to be very late to walk around with no clothes) Duryodhana decides to come out and he walks. Everything is quiet and he makes a turn and who does he see? He sees Krishna. Duryodhana is thinking, "Of all the people in the world, why should I see this personality?" Krishna saw him and starts smiling. Duryodhan became ruffled. He said, "why are you smiling?" Krishna said, "why you think I am smiling? Grown up man with no clothes walking in the dead of the night. Are you mental?" Duryodhana becomes embarrassed and he says, "No no. I am just going to see my mother." Krishna says, "Your mother! You are going to see your mother with no clothes on? Where have you learned your etiquette? Some decency is required. At least wear some gumcha or something and go to see your mother. I know you had a bad day in the battlefield but that does not mean you have to become mental." So what happens now? Duryodhana thinks, "Yes, it is very bad. I am very much embarrassed." He tells himself and checks himself. "I am going to wear my gamcha now. Once Krishna goes, and I stand before my mother, I will take it off. Then everything will be alright." So he goes before his mother. Gandhari says, "Are you ready son? Is everything okay as I told you?" He says "Yes." She opens her eyes and sees him. She goes all the way down and she sees the gamcha. At the end of it, Duryodhana's thighs could not be strengthened because they were covered. Gandhari tells Duryodhana, "I gave you just a simple instruction to take off your clothes and stand." He said, "I met Krishna." Gandhari thought, "why of all people must my son meet Krishna? In the night, the pandavas were very happy and they must have all gone to sleep. Why is this Krishna roaming around?" She asks, "What did Krishna tell you?" He said, "Krishna told me just wear a gamcha and it is not right to walk around without any clothes. Mother, I agreed to Him and I told myself I will remember at the right point, this instruction that I should remove my clothes."
But Gandhari realized with an air of resignation that no matter what she planned for her son, the truth is Krishna in a very simple and cheeky way was teaching her something that, "Gandhari, whatever plans you have for your son, is not within My line of vision. It is not going to help. You are only going to be disturbed." But till the end of the war, Gandhari could not accept this. Even though Gandhari was a very virtuous lady, but this point is important for us. If you really want to be peaceful in life, we have to understand that we have an intimate firm connection with the Lord. What is the point of reading Bhagavatam and chanting if at the end of it, it cannot translate into peace? Then it means something is wrong. Bhagavatam should not be in the air. It should be on the floor, on the ground. It should make us learn how to live our lives peacefully. It should make us become peaceful. It should make us understand that we have an intimate connection with the Lord and that we are not away from the Lord. But we make ourselves away. We are not away from our spiritual master. The reason we feel we are away, is because we are not prepared to sacrifice. What is that sacrifice?
6. Sacrificing our senses to satisfy the senses of the Lord: The real challenge of our love for Krishna and our guru will be seen and demonstrated by doing all the services that you do not like to do. Maharaj told me, "what is the fun in singing kirtan Devaki? You like kirtan. So you are singing. Where is the sacrifice? You try cooking." Everyone knows I am a bad cook and the sacrifice is too much because everyone will die. But Maharaj said, "That is your excuse. The point is you want to do a service because you would prefer to do it. This ahankaar becomes the greatest impediment in accepting our destiny. So our connection to Krishna is determined by how much we are ready to satisfy the Lord and not satisfy our senses and those who satisfy the Lord, automatically their senses will be satisfied."
Ravana did everything to satisfy the senses. But what did he lack? Whole Lanka was solid 24 ct. gold. Imagine an entire city of gold, especially at the current rate of gold prices. Imagine how much Lanka would be worth? On top of that, he had the most virtuous wife, Mandodari. When you read and see the qualities of Mandodari in Ramayana, you can write pages and pages of her quality. First class lady. But it was not enough for Ravana. He wanted Sita and he wanted Sita without the controller Rama, without the person who owns Sita and to whom Sita was given and to whom Sita has pledged Her life. Maharaj says this is our rascaldom. We want Lakshmi devi. We pray, "Lakshmi devi! Please. Money is not enough. Job is not good. Give me this. Give me that. Lakshmi gives you everything but in giving we forget that the pati of Lakshmi is the one who gives you the sanction to come to Lakshmi. So we ignore Krishna and if we think we can steal away from Him what belongs to Him, then Ravana's fate awaits us. Ravana was destroyed in the end. Everything he had was destroyed only for one reason that he was coveting something that did not belong to him. So we may ask, how do we know that something does not belong to us? Very simple, Maharaj said. "Just live in this world in such a way that nothing belongs to you because everything is borrowed and everything has to come and everything has to go." Whenever we had difficulty in raising money for the temple, myself and Vaishnava prabhu will be in so much distress. We will think so many material solutions and innovative ways to raise the money. Finally all the innovative ways will not give us the peace. Then Maharaj would sit with us and say, "Devaki, as it is we all have nothing. As it is when we came here, there was no temple. As it is when we came here, there was just land. Now if there is no temple, what have we lost?" When I remember these instructions and I find if I put them into practice in any field of my life, immediately we do not become bewildered. Supposing we gain a lot of money and at the end all the money goes, then this point is very relevant. As it is, when we were born, no one was born with a pocket full of money. Nobody. Nobody had pampers on them. Any child that we know came in with a full set of clothes? Any child was born with a birth certificate saying that I was formerly MBA? Nobody. No child ever came even smiling. It is unusual and Maharaj says we are so foolish that when the child comes out crying and crying, we say Hari bol! The child is saying, "I really hate coming here and my silly father and mother are saying welcome to this terrible world. It is an upside down civilization."
It is important that we learn to satisfy the senses of Hrishikesha and that alone can make us peaceful.
6.Sacrificing our senses to satisfy the senses of the Lord: Jatayu was at the fag end of his life. He was the old retired king of vultures and had no strength left. But when he saw that Ravana was taking away what belongs to Lord Rama, he did not care about his senses, his body. He just cared about his seva – service. He transcended his pain, suffering, old age and infirmities to challenge Ravana to give back what rightfully is Lord Rama's. But what was the result of that great act? He was slaughtered. His wings were cut and he fell down bleeding. When Rama and Lakshmana came and saw this bird, they first thought it was Ravana or one of Ravana's men. Then they recognized him as Jatayu and then Jatayu described to Him that "I tried very hard my dear Rama, but my Lord, I am sorry. I failed in my endeavor. I tried to save Mother Sita but I could not save Her. I feel very bad that I have failed." Lord Rama told him in Ramayana, "You have actually won. You are victorious because it is not the result of the endeavor that I am worried about. It is your beautiful effort. You had all the disqualifications yet with all your disqualifications, you rendered service and you tried your best. This is the qualification of a devotee. That is true nature of devotee that he does not think about his difficulties but he is concerned about what he can do for the pleasure of the Lord and the devotees." For such a person, Krishna's destiny becomes his destiny. To such a person, bewilderment, distress, disturbance may be coming for a while. They may touch him just for a while but like Jatayu he endeavors in the service, uninterrupted, unmotivated (ahaituky apratihataa). In Jatayu's service there was no motivation. Where was his motivation? Was he going to get a ranking? What was he going to get? Nothing. He was going to die anyway. But he did that to serve the Lord and because he was unmotivated, the result of his service was uninterrupted. Why? Because his destiny finally lay in the hands of Lord Rama. Lord Rama tells Jatayu, "Today I will perform your funeral rites. I will do it as a son does for his father." Where will we get this bhaagya that the Lord does our funeral rites and for a bird, He did that. When He did all the funeral rites, like a loving son, Lord Rama told Lakshmana, "My dear brother, today is the most painful day of My life not because Sita mata has left, but because of the death of Jatayu. A great service has been rendered by My dear most devotee Jatayu. His death has pained Me more than separation of Sita." So Maharaj said that this is the greatness of the Lord and this is the greatness of His devotees.
Hanumanji is another wonderful example. Because Hanumanji only wanted to satisfy the senses of Lord Rama, his senses were automatically satisfied without any endeavor. You just try to satisfy Krishna by doing all the things that He has said.
- Follow the four regulative principles.
- Chant your rounds nicely.
- Read Bhagavatam daily.
- Be loving in your dealings with devotees.
- Tolerate the onslaughts of the material world.
- Always be humble.
We do all this and automatically our senses will not be agitated. Even if we stretch ourselves in service what is going to happen? Maharaj always says even if you are sick, just come for Mangala arati. What is the worse that will happen? You will die. If you die during Mangala arati, it is mangal – auspicious. As it is you are going to die. Better you die during Mangala arati than during any other time. See the logic. Who can refute this logic? So anytime somebody tells that, "Prabhu, I was very tired. Very sick." Then I remember what Maharaj said, "then come for Mangala arati. Fall more sick because it is better to be sick for Krishna than to be sick for yourself."
Hanumanji was fixed with Lord Rama. Sita Mata and Lakshman were worried that they will not get a chance to serve the Lord as Hanumanji was doing all the services. Sita mata said, "Even when I am asleep, he is somewhere around in the quarters chanting Rama's names. I have no personal time with my dear husband." So what they did was they drew up a nice service roster. They delegated all the services and made sure everybody's name was there except Hanumanji. Then they got the service roster approved by Lord Ram.
Then Hanumaji came and he saw the notice-board. There was no service for him. So he went to Lord Rama in His assembly and he spoke with Him. Sita mata and Lakshmana were a bit anxious hoping they would continue with their services without Hanumanji's interference. Hanumanji said, "There is no service for me" and Lord Rama said, "That is okay. What is the problem?" Then Hanumanji said, "I cannot live without serving You." So Lord Rama said, "Because you are sincere, somehow the good Lord will give you the intelligence to do some service." Then Hanuman said, "You are my Lord. Who is the good Lord you are talking about?" So Hanumanji sat down next to Lord Rama. Every service was being done very nicely by all others. Towards the end of the assembly, Lord Rama yawned. So when He yawned, He opened His mouth very wide. The moment He opened His mouth, immediately before anyone could jump and before anyone could realize that it is not on the notice board, Haumanji jumped up and snapped his fingers before Him. Then he became very satisfied. It is customary that if anyone yawns we snap the fingers before that person's mouth. Lakshmana and Sita mata were not totally aware of the consequences of this until Lord Rama said, "I am going to my chamber." Hanuman got up. Sita mata said, "Why are you following Him? I am the wife. I am going inside the chamber. Why are you going in?" Hanumanji said, "Do you know when the Lord will yawn?" Sita mata said, "How do we know that? It may be any time." Hanuman said, "That is exactly is my point. Mata, because we do not know when He is going to yawn, I have to be 24 hours on standby so that anytime He yawns, I must be ready to snap my fingers. For that I have to be in close proximity to the Lord. I will just be very close to the Lord and will continue my service." Maharaj said Sita mata fainted and Lakshmana was really frustrated.
But it shows one thing that if you want to really really become peaceful, in following the destiny, then try to satisfy the senses of Hrishikesa and by doing so enthusiastically, He will find some way to keep you always engaged. Krishna never lets anyone down. It is only our faith that is required. If you say, "Krishna please give me Your service and I am prepared to sweat", why will He not give and this is the key. From the protection of the Lord comes the direction. Maharaj said this is the point. When the Lord protects you, He also directs you. When the Lord protected Arjuna, He literally directed him through the armies and when you are directed, you are automatically protected.
Prabhuji went on to explain that until and unless we see the hand of Krishna in everything, we will not accept the destiny of the Lord as ours and the same shall be transcribed and offered in the next mail Krishna willing.
Thank you very much,
Yours in service of Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudev,
Vaijayanti mala devi dasi,


text: A lease called "Spurling's Pocket" was first taken up in 1903 - It was located on today's El Questro Wilderness Park. Due to the rugged and rocky land, the area was not successful as a cattle station and ownership changed hands numerous times. In the late 1950's, Torrance MacMiking and Morris Marshall took the lease up and named it El Questro. Besides cattle, they grew vegetables on irrigated paddocks and sold them to the Kununurra township, which was in the process of being built. The grave of Michael, son of Morris Marshall, can be seen under a large Boab tree, near the station's driveway. In 1984, after several years on the market, the lease of El Questro finally passed from a consortium to the brothers James and Ben Salerno. In 1991, the property changed hands again to Will and Celia Burrel. On inspection, The Burrells found the property in disrepair - trees had fallen over the roads and the station buildings were near derelict. However, they saw huge potential in the property and purchased the pastoral lease that very same year. Emma Gorge's Resort accommodation at El Questro was built during the wet season of 1992, and El Questro opened as a Wilderness Park for the first time in May of that year. With its spectacular location on the Chamberlain River, El Questro Homestead was opened in October 1992 with the Station surround and stone bungalows following in May 1993. Since then, continual improvements have been made to the property, with new bungalows, tented cabins and staff accommodation also being added, as well as various maintenance and upgrades. Will and Celia Burrell reluctantly sold El Questro to General Property Trust in 2005. General Property Trust onsold the Wilderness Park to Delaware North Parks and Resorts in March 2010. Delaware North Australia Parks & Resorts is a member of Delaware North Companies, a nearly 100-year-old organisation whose family-owned companies are innovators in hospitality, entertainment, food service and retail. The company has upgraded many of El Questro's facilities, with the latest upgrade being the three new Cliffside Retreats at The Homestead.

FAYETTEVILLE - The town of Fayetteville will not be going to the chickens - literally
After a heated discussion The Town Council of Fayetteville unanimously decided Thursday to keep the current ordinance regarding animals within the town limits unchanged. A packed house heard people from both sides discuss their stance on whether one family is allowed to have a chicken coop and chickens on the grounds of their property. City laws prohibit the existence of certain animals to reside or exist within the boundaries of the town.
Property owner, Chandra LaCost says, she and her husband were misled on several issues, are disappointed with the decision.
LaCost goes on to say "You know purchasing a home that's, that big that costs that much, for the purposes that we bought it for, you know that's one thing, to be treated like this by our neighbors, to be treated like this by the council to be completely disregarded, nobody calling back us is not someplace that has welcomes us."
LaCost plans on appealing.

Time I brushed off the old Beer In Music Project as that the same theme has now been announced as the next topic for The Session to be held 2 November 2007.
Good thing, too, as while I am obviously having a lesson in UK culture these days here at beer blog HQ, in large part at the direction and correction (youch!) of Stonch as well as from Paul's festive posts, there is so much more to learn. And even with all that quality contemporary English fluid anthropology, this story remains a bit odd to me - a town council in Lincolnshire considering installing a beer celler in its town hall to stop wasting the stuff:
More than £1,300 of town council money is being poured down the drain each year – in stale beer. The amount of drink wasted at the Festival Hall has emerged as a justifiction for turning old public toilets into a cellar. Steward Karen Richardson said that increasingly bookings were cancelled because of bad beer but that a cellar would undoubtedly help.While cellar work does seem to be a big issue in the town, I am not sure why the local council has so much beer and why it goes bad. But the real story (and a bit of a hint) may be that the town is allegedly the scene of one of the greatest boozy pop tunes of the last 50 years:
The 1973 Elton John hit "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting" is rumoured to have been inspired by the Aston Arms on the market square although there are similar claims for pubs in Louth and Grimsby (all places where [song]writer Bernie Taupin once lived).You know, that is almost a dollar per resident per year of lost beer and given that it might have been the site of such a crucial event in beer and music, one you would hope the community would get behind the plan. You know, maybe they could even spend a little less on the closed circuit surveillance of each other...though given the song maybe that is as good a use of public funds as any.
But I still don't really understand why the beer is going bad.

Jason Beavers' July 20 letter, arguing that America's Founding Fathers wanted religion in our public schools, went seriously off the rails with his attempt to dismiss the relevance of Thomas Jefferson's phrase "separation of church and state." According to Beavers, Jefferson's "take on the First Amendment . . . had no bearing on what its designers intended it to mean" because he was in France when it was passed.
Really? The record shows that, even from a distance, Jefferson had a major role in the drafting of the Bill of Rights in general and the First Amendment in particular.
After the Constitution was completed, Jefferson sent several letters to James Madison, criticizing its lack of a bill of rights. Some of his comments were gentle, such as when he told Madison that the Constitution was "a good canvas, on which some strokes only want retouching." Some were blunt, as when he wrote, "A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth."
Madison reluctantly got the message. According to the Library of Congress' online display of documents that spurred the Bill of Rights, "Jefferson's open support for revisions to the Constitution was instrumental in Madison's plans to propose these amendments to the new federal Congress soon after its first meeting" in 1789.
When Madison drafted the First Amendment, he drew his inspiration from Jefferson's Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, which was shepherded into law in Jefferson's absence in 1786.
Madison was very much of a like mind with Jefferson on the issue of separation of church and state. In an 1822 letter to Edward Livingston, for example, Madison wrote that "religion and government will both exist in greater purity the less they are mixed together."
That doesn't sound like one who thought religion should be taught in public schools.

A 27-year-old man was convicted yesterday in a shooting that was Columbus' first homicide of last year.
A Franklin County jury deliberated for fewer than five hours before finding Dennis Oteng guilty of murder in the Jan. 5, 2013, death of Kingsley Owusu. The jury also found that Oteng used a gun in the crime.
The murder conviction with a gun specification will bring a mandatory sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole for 18 years. Common Pleas Judge Stephen L. McIntosh set sentencing for May 13.
Owusu, 20, was found wounded in the parking lot of the Filipinas Centre at 3439 Westerville Rd. on the Northeast Side shortly before 2 a.m. He died 45 minutes later at Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center.
Assistant County Prosecutor William Walton told jurors in his closing argument that the evidence showed that Oteng shot Owusu and then "kicked and stomped" him on the ground.
"His actions show his purpose," Walton said. "His purpose is to cause a death."
Oteng was identified as the shooter by witnesses and a friend who testified said he received a 2:05 a.m. call from Oteng in which Oteng blurted out, "I shot him."
Defense attorney Javier Armengau argued that the prosecution's case hinged on witnesses who were either mistaken or lying.
"Evidence and facts are not the same thing," he said.
Testimony that Oteng was the shooter conflicted with forensic evidence, he said, and he suggested that one of several other armed men at the scene could have fired the fatal shot.
Police said that Owusu and Oteng knew each other and were attending a party that had been posted on a Facebook page for Africans in Columbus.
Owusu wrote on his own Facebook page that he was a community-college student who moved to Columbus from his hometown, the New York City borough of Queens.
Oteng previously lived in the New York borough of the Bronx, records show. His most-recent address, according to court records, was in the Gahanna area.

Our CEO had a discussion with the company recently about what should be the next game we bring into Singapore. It's not an official announcement yet, and he's not officially or formally receiving feedback yet, but I was thinking, why wait until next year before we start gathering feedback? Besides, this is a pretty BIG decision, so shouldn't we get as much market opinion as possible?
Here's the list of games available for us to choose from. It's basically all the games in the Games Section of the DF Interactive Pte Ltd website. What game would you want to stand alongside Special Force? Remember, I'll be doing blogs for that game too =3
Oh, spread this to all your friends. I'll probably make this poll without an ending date, or extend it as long as possible.
Remember, you don't need a Special Force fan to be able to help us vote. In fact, get non-SF friends to play our next game, and we can encourage them to play SF at the same time!

Milk quality: Take action to improve
By Dr. Ellen Jordan, dairy specialist
Texas A&M University Extension
Producing high quality milk pays dividends through increased milk income. Capture more milk quality premiums by reducing somatic cell counts (SCC) in the milk you sell. If you haven't already, implement the National Mastitis Council's five-point control plan of:
• Dip every teat of every cow after milking
• Dry cow treat every cow
• Practice proper pre-milking procedures
• Check for proper function and operation of milking equipment
• Treat clinical cases of mastitis with appropriate antibiotic therapy
Greater reductions possible
Although these steps help reduce somatic cell counts to less than 400,000, greater reductions are possible. Attitude is a key component in improving milk quality. As a manager, show your employees that you are dedicated to producing high quality milk. Work with employees to set a somatic cell count goal for your herd.
Once you set a farm goal to improve milk quality, share that goal with everyone from the herdsman to the milkers and the consultants. Include the outside crew that maintains housing facilities. To reach the goal of reducing somatic cell counts requires consistent attention to detail. Although not in the original five-point program, the following practices help improve milk quality as well:
• Remove udder hair
• Clean free stalls or areas where cows lie regularly
• Check dry cows for clinical mastitis
• Provide clean calving pens
• Keep milk from fresh cows out of the bulk tank the prescribed amount of time
• Dip teats rather than spray
• Provide nutrient supplementation for springing heifers and dry cows
• Milk only dry, clean teats
• Culture clinical cases of mastitis
• Develop an inventory control system so critical supplies are available
• Train new employees and retrain current employees
Seasons make a difference
Seasonal variations in somatic cell counts occur. These occur in arid climates such as NM, as well as in more humid climates such as in Texas.
With summer approaching, the level of mastitis and somatic cell counts rise as temperature and humidity levels move upward. Somatic cells are elevated in response to environmental stress – such as high summer temperatures – and it may take weeks or months for them to decrease. Environmental mastitis increases during summer as well because of the increased likelihood of teat end exposure to bacteria.
Cattle are physically more stressed during the summer. Research has shown high circulating levels of stress hormones interfere with the ability of the immune system to destroy bacterial invaders. Somatic cells enter the udder as part of the immune response. When somatic cells are depressed by stress hormones, they cannot function fully to protect against mastitis organisms.
What can be done to help reduce stress?
• In dry lots, provide shade. Keep the area under the shades groomed so it stays dry and provides a clean place for cows to lie.
• In free stalls, take extra steps to keep bedded areas dry and maintain free stalls to minimize cows lying in the alleys. Bacteria require a warm, moist environment to multiple, so bacteria counts on soiled bedding can increase rapidly during the summer.
• In pasture situations, provide portable shades. Move shades frequently to reduce manure build up. Although, trees provide a good source of shade and reduce stress; muddy, wet areas around trees result from manure accumulation. This is a source of environmental organisms that increase clinical mastitis. Also, high cow density can kill trees.
• Provide plenty of clean water. Locate troughs on the exit lanes as well as in the housing areas. Cows drink about 50 percent more water when the temperature is 80 degrees versus 40 degrees. They need water to cool themselves through increased respiration and perspiration.
Employee feedback important
Provide continual feedback to employees by posting somatic cell counts with the goal marked. Then employees can monitor progress. Working together you can reduce somatic cell counts which can increase milk income.
These steps add up in the battle against high somatic cell counts and mastitis, either by reducing the stress-promoting hormones or by decreasing the growth sites for environmental mastitis organisms. Watching, implementing and correcting management practices to reduce summer SCC increases milk production and your herd's health; thereby improving dairy profitability.

Skip to comments.Notice: Free Republic has been in full rebellion mode since 2008 and will remain so for the duration
Posted on 04/11/2012 8:04:00 PM PDT by Jim Robinson
Notice: Free Republic has been in full rebellion mode since 2008 and will remain in full rebellion mode for the duration!
No more Doles!! No more McCains!! No more RINOS!!
Those who cannot stomach rebellion might as well start looking for a new home on the net!!
Those who have ignored my hundreds of posts on this crucial issue or who have doubted me these last three or four years might as well get used to it. FR will never support the abortionist, homosexualist, socialist, mandate loving, constitution trampling liar Mitt Romney.
In case you haven't noticed, a TEA Party rebellion is on and Free Republic signed on years ago. There is no turning back. No more crap from the GOP-e!! They've screwed us for the last time!! Karl Rove and Mitt Romney, et al, loathe conservatism and loathe the tea party and took it upon themselves to use their money and connections to destroy nearly every one of our conservative tea party candidates while pushing their big government RINOS. That makes them the enemy. I will not reward that betrayal by giving them my support or my vote.
FR is and will remain a pro-life, pro-limited government conservative site!!
We are beholden to NO ONE!! We bow to no kings!! We bow to NO RINOS!!
I'd rather fight and die like a man than bend over and be screwed by a RINO!! I refuse to kiss Karl Rove or Mitt Romney's rings!! They can kiss my rosy red ass instead!!
Long live the rebellion!!
Hope my message is clear.
OK, enough of the "Stay Home" stuff.
I do NOT recall Jim Rob saying "Stay Home".
But voting FOR Romney is out. Vote someone else. Deny the winner, ANY winner a plurality, a majority, a mandate. Vote for the Constitution Party Candidate. Write in Sarah.
VOTE DOWN TICKET. This is indeed a fight. Deny them Congress. Fight for the White House. Newt is still VERY VIABLE.
Pray. Alot, without ceasing, as it were.
Look, this site is the best anywhere.
Most of us come here because of the intelligent back and forth discussions, unbound by the narrow-minded self censorship which has rendered most real ideas to be reduced, blended and pulped into political velveeta; We read breaking news here hours before any of the MSM gets around to noticing, if they even report at all. This is one of the only places anywhere which is not owned and operated by the combined left and right establishments.
We'll have no impact on the GOP establishment, by fighting with each other.
Right now, let's try and keep Romney from rolling over this thing. A brokered convention would turn this race on its head.
If that doesn't work, despite all best efforts, let's think about how we can bring to bear somehow, now and in the future, the same ideas and energy which brought the Tea Party movement into almost magical form.
We're not going to solve things, by just complaining.
Sure it's frustrating. But lashing out really isn't very productive.
if you're in a solid blue state, I agree with you. If you live in California, find that perfect constitution party candidate (and hope that he or she is politically pure as the driven snow) and vote early and often.
HowEVER, if you're in a purple state, well, I might disagree with you. In fact, I do disagree with you.
You have to assume that Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy, Roberts, or Alito will die or retire or be removed from office before you can assume that Obama gets to nominate a replacement for them.
Th rolls are rapidly shrinking here for a reason. You just illustrated why.
On the off chance that Romney would make an inappropriate supreme court appointment, conservatives could always take them down, just like we did with Miers. But no, of course, your right. We're much better off with Obama making the appointments. I'm sure that'll work out.
No. Look at the link that I provided, and you'll see that I am actually talking about the 'other side' of the SCOTUS (i.e. Ginsburg, Bryer, etc..).
I was disappointed to learn the original tavern, originally around the corner on Union St, is gone. The current one dates to the 1860s.
Why aren't you on Newt threads supporting your guy?
Mom, I did not even hint that I'd reconsider and vote for Romney. I won't. He is not even remotely conservative. He is not an impure conservative. He is not a conservative at all. He never has been. He never will be. His record speaks volumes and it is an atrocious record of a radical liberal.
I have financially supported in order: Perry, Gingrich, and Santorum. I just sent my latest donations to: Free Republic and The Constitution Party.
So...there you have it.
I'm voting conservative, and I want you to do the same.
Amen to that!!!! And I think the good folks on FR for the education about Romney. At one time I would've voted for him as the GOP nominee, but as time goes on and more revelations come out about him, no way will I vote for that scumbag. He's dead in the water, anyway. As things are progressing now, Romney will have his hands full holding 20 states.
THIS voter has joined the Constitution Party and will proudly vote CONSERVATIVE in November's Presidential election.
I *THANK* the good folks on FR.....
Finally I found your strategy, Jim! This post does clarify it for me. Some of us — me — are bright but stupid. I needed more clarity on the action part of your strategy.
I guess phase one is now: vote Gingrich and see where that goes. I don't really think he'd make a good president, but it's a way to say "bleep you" to the GOPe.
November and stopping Obama is a long time away.
Let's puff up, Tea Partiers, today, and appear huge and in number AGAINST THE RINO. We must stop them from ever taking us for granted again! I wish we could have huge conservative protests at the RINO convention. That would get huge media coverage.
I'm in!
I'm sorry. If you gave the link indicating you meant one of the 4, then I agree with you. I believe one of those 4 just might retire. However, it won't change the balance of the court.
That's what was so critical about the last election when we presented milquetoast as our candidate. He gave up, wouldn't fight, quit...whatever. He disengaged.
With JP Stevens as a possibility, we could have actually forged a 6-3 liberty conservative majority. But the GOP-e threw it or McCain was totally inept. I'd like to think we were smarter than that, but we weren't.
In my case, I've been voting for the "least worst" since Reagan left office... and how has that worked out for us?
With Romney destined for a huge defeat, I've viewing this as a no-risk opportunity for conservatives across the land to migrate to a party in which we have a voice. My personal choice is the Constitution Party.
Likely, Virgil Goode is going to be that party's nominee... Why settle.. once again.. for the gray, bland, faded pastels of Romney, when we have a bold-color conservative available? Is Goode going to win? No... but neither is Romney.
I'm not laying down this time and placidly accepting the GOP's version of "inevitable." The only thing "inevitable" in 2012 is Romney is going to have his a** handed to him.
Hey roscommon,
You're accusing me of unhinged behavior and gutter language?
You claim reading my post is akin to reading a post on DU?
Care to explain yourself?
If you're unable or unwilling to do that, then I question your presence here.
Well, you voted for McCain, the solid conservative. Or, wait you went against your conscience and voted for him, realizing that Obama would be a disaster, which of course, he is.
Look, I understand the frustration of you and others, myself included. Romney isn't on my short list. However, voting for the spoiler third party IF you're in a red or purple state does nothing except make the people at NBC giddy. They'll be saying "look at those flyover hicks following our orders to vote third party".
I blame everyone who did *NOT* fully support A candidate during this primary.
I'm also happy to see that you supported Santorum and didn't eliminate him for his Specter endorsement. Rick Santorum is a good man, trashed by this horrible media we have.
Fair point.
Whether Mitt Romney is a conservative or a moderate is really a matter of which Mitt Romney one means. (Since he is the quintessential flip-flopper, Romney can be quoted on either side of several different issues.)
Still, I tend to believe that, if elected, Romney will govern as a conservative; if for no other reason than pure self-interest: He would surely prefer to dispel any questions as regarding his conservative pedigree, so as to position himself favorably for re-election in 2016.
Even the Founding Fathers, while they were all solidly against defeating the British (who was the real enemy in trying to destroy their freedom), they also had divergent views on how to interpret the Constitution after it was signed (Federal vs States rights). Well, our most immediate and threatening enemy to our citizen's freedom and our Constitution (more than of any President in our history) is sitting right in the oval office right now.
Very well said.
I don't know anything about Virgil Goode. Please educate me as to Mr. Goode's previous experience, votes, etc.
At the congressional level, I think Newt Gingrich's precedent with the "Conservative Opportunity Society" — a group of mostly young and all relatively junior backbenchers who were regularly derided by the Republican establishment is a good first step.
And that's coming as a former Santorum supporter. I've always admired Gingrich's success in doing the unthinkable by taking over the House of Representatives and becoming speaker, even though I didn't think he was the best candidate for president. Nobody can take away from Gingrich what he did in winning the House of Representatives. Now, as the last conservative left, I have to hope he'll manage to pull things out and win the nomination.
Read this, from PBS Frontline of all places. The interview with Vin Weber is a good intro to what Gingrich did in Congress, though quite dated.
That said, we will not get our choice Conservative on the ticket, and all presidential races devolve down to a practical choice between two major candidates. The reality is that we will have choice to cast one of two possible meaningful votes, Obama or Romney.
Capturing the Senate will not be enough. The Presidency is the most important post there is. At a minimum he sets the tone, approves or vetoes bills, nominated judges, etc.
In November, we may not want to vote for Romney, but a failure to vote for Romney is effectively a vote for Obama.
How do we, despite your dislike for Romney, fail to vote for him and therefore we end up helping Obama?
It's a sincere, important and respectful question.
scream as loud as you like.....but you will either vote for Obama or Romney....even if you don't vote. If you can stand another 4 years of the idiot in chief, go for it.....if not, vote for Romney.......and you know I'm right..I always am.
I don't know if you are always right, but I believe you are right on this one. I refuse to do a single thing that will aid in getting the Marxist bastard re-elected. I cannot stand the thought of looking at the arrogant, gloating faces of he and his America hating, whitely hating wife for 4 more years. I also cannot stand watching the Communist Party celebrate his victory, which they did in 2008 and will do so again.
You can speculate all you want. The fact is Romney actually did sign the legislation. In fact, he enthusiastically did support it.
Speculation vs. Reality
I'll go with reality.
"I would like to be the guy who pulls the lever on the catapult that sends him back to Kenya."
No, Leavenworth or Gitmo for Obama.
Note that I said "when." That's the equivalent, logically, of "if."
I'm afraid that if I have to choose between a dumb-ass RINO and a malevolent leftist who actually seeks to subvert the Constitution and destroy the country, I'll be obliged by the force of circumstances to choose the former. I will not choose the latter simply to assuage my feelings or make some kind of statement.
Though his intention is to preserve Social Security and Medicare for the elderly, he's strong on the more emergent issues, such as securing the border.
In that, I agree wholeheartedly.
But, as I have pointed out previously concerning this current 2012 primary cycle (the conservatives 'splitting' their vote among more 'conservative candidates' to the benefit of the 'least conservative' viable candidate), this is exactly what happened also in 2008, which is why we got McCain.
I didn't quite think this way before, but after seeing the progression of the last two Presidential primary cycles and seeing the resulting consequence of the least-preferred candidate eeking out marginal 30-37% "wins" early on and then ultimately hanging around to claim victory, I have come to the conclusion that we really need a more structured 'Tea Party' within the Republican Party, to actually 'nominate' a preferred candidate BEFORE the primary season starts, so that most, if not all, conservatives can rally round that candidate, and prevent the same thing from happening again as in 2008.
Don't forget 4 more years to accomplish their goal of single payer health care. Once they get that, there is no turning back.
I tend to believe the Etch-A-Sketch comment made by his own campaign manager.
Thank you for being such a staunch supporter of conservatives.My own journey has been Palin, Cain and Gingrich.
I respectfully ask you, and everyone else here, to support Newt Gingrich, right now, with a donation.
That would be an act of rebellion against Romney and the GOP-E.
Railing against being forced to vote for Romney doesn't make sense(not that you are doing it, but many others are) when there is still one conservative standing in this race.
The rebellion against Romney doesn't start in November.
It starts right now.
As I have said before, Newt aims to get to Tampa and I aim to help him get there. The GOP-E has to be sent a message that Romney, who has never governed as a Republican nor as a Reagan conservative, is not an acceptable nominee in the most important election of our lifetimes.
We all want to DO something.I humbly suggest that supporting Newt DOES something—important. Only half the country has voted in the primaries. Here in DE we vote on 4/24. The fat lady has not sung yet; heck she isn't in the theater yet.
I think supporting Newt and getting him to Tampa will influence this election and the GOP platform, and that will open opportunities for conservative voices to be heard that would otherwise be shut out.
A common and glaring false assumption can be found in a quote by a Mr. Hansen about Obama from another FR thread today, (Kaslin), as follows:
- - - But the problem with an us/them strategy is not just winning an election, but trying to put back together what was torn asunder.
That incorrect assumption is that Obama has any intention, or will try to put back together what was torn asunder.
The former Community Organizer, Obama, has spent his entire career preparing to Organize America into Commune Amerika.
All of Obamas accomplishments have been at the expense of Individual Liberty, and Federal financial strength.
Each bill that Obama signs into iron-clad Federal Law has an ADDITIONAL amendment to increase Obamas control over individual Liberty and Federal finances.
The prime example is the rarely talked about amendment to Obamacare that transfers the entire Student Loan Debt and all future loans to Federal control. This Student Loan Debt is larger than ALL of the US Credit Card Debt.
Obama is a dictator, and everything he does is consistent with increasing his power while decreasing our individual Liberty and ability to achieve individual financial independence.
In summary, Obama has done everything in his power to destroy THE AMERICAN DREAM.
The Democrats will never see that fact.
The RINOs deny that fact, and have in lock-step endorsed smiley-face Romney to gleefully Cave-In to the Democrats, in the highly unlikely chance that Romney becomes POTUS.
The Liberal Agenda Media are overjoyed that FINALLY America will be destroyed so that it can be re-built according to what their Law and Journalism Professors taught them back in their active Student Loan Days.
As conditions in America continue to deteriorate, America voters will become more fearful, and thus less willing to change horses in the middle of a crisis, even though the crisis was created by Obama.
It has been said, by those who study these matters, that only 20 % of a population will accept any given idea. Since about half of the US population bothers to vote, that 20 % becomes 40 %, the same % as the baselevel of voter poll support for Obama.
BTW, is there a counterbalancing voter support 40 % in America that accepts the idea that Obama is tearing asunder The United States of America and has NO intention to put together what was torn asunder?
Meanwhile the drumbeat of Dictator Obama grows louder:
regulate - control - destroy - Regulate - control - destroy - REgulate - control - destroy - REGulate - control - destroy - REGU
No one has received the nomination yet. There is still time to affect the outcome.
The question you are asking is important, but there is another component to it.
If we have one conservative left standing in this race, why accept the false premise that our choice is only Romney?
Our rebellion can take the form of sending Newt on to Tampa, to blunt Romney and to be our voice, and to give other conservatives in Tampa a chance to be heard.
The GOP-E wants us all to sit down and shut up, and I say "NUTS" to them. We don't want Romney, a non-Republican liberal, to be our nominee with the fate of America at stake in November.
We can yet affect the outcome in November by affecting the outcome in August in Tampa.
The rebellion starts now, in my opinion, and my act of rebellion is to go all out for Newt.
Do you think Romney is against single payer health care?
That's the dirty trick. Every election, the RINOs in Washington pick our candidate for us. They send out the talking heads to destroy those they oppose, and tilt the propaganda toward their choice. Every election they choose someone more liberal than the one before. Now, we "choose" between a flaming left wing Massachusetts liberal, or a flaming far left communist.
They're giving us a choice - NOT.
All the power and privilege the democrats acquire while in power simply becomes theirs! The only difference is the Republicans in Washington get to live high on the hog instead of the Washington democrats! (Have they EVER eliminated a democrat social program or oppressive legislation? )
How long do we just sit back and let them blackmail us with "Vote for our guy, or the other guy whose worse will win." What about the Conservatives? Hello? Who is giving us a voice in all this? How long are we suppose to fall for this scam? Both parties are going in the same direction, only the RINOs are going a little slower as to not be noticed!
Okay, but the reality is McCain is not in this race... Romney is!
And that is precisely why you and millions of other Republicans have brought us to the brink of electing a man who is nearly identical in substance to that which we are sworn to oppose.
The 'Anyone But Obama' line of thinking opens the door to heinous and despicable characters such as Romney, and throws all principle and conviction to the wind.
I can no more vote for someone who violates the American principles I believe in 85% of the time, than I can vote for someone who violates them 100% of the time. Choosing either of those options is still treason to my country, and I will not willingly do that.
I oppose the anti-Americanism that Romney and Obama represent with every fiber of my being, and refuse to be suckered or bullied into compromising my personal honor and integrity by giving either of them my consent.
If we cannot stop the coming darkness, then let that horror bear the name of my enemy. Let every man understand just WHO was responsible for destroying all that was good about the finest nation that was ever conceived by the mind of man.
Your honor and integrity are more important than your immediate life. Do not barter them away so cheaply.
You misunderstand, mom. I voted for McCain because he had a long pro-life record, he had a long record on national defense, and he had a long record on being fiscally responsible...if not purist conservative. He also was willing to team up with pro-God, pro-family, pro-life Palin.
Now, Romney is not pro-life and never has been. His record is worse than terrible. He is pro gay marriage. He is pro gun control. He is pro big government and fiscal irresponsibility (Romneycare).
He doesn't have a single drop of conservative blood in him that I can turn to and say, "See, he's got some conservative creds." He simply doesn't.
So, because of that, I want to find a real conservative to vote for, and I want you to remain open to being convinced.
(Santorum, by the way, has an absolutely wonderful pro-life record, and he was my favorite (after Perry bombed out) to receive the nomination.)
BTW, I am a died-in-the-wool pro-lifer.
They have all said they would back the eventual nominee, yes. But, speaking for myself, I'm not a lemming. Rush, Sarah, and Mark are not going to stand before Jesus and absolve me of voting for an abortionist and homosexual lover. I bear the responsibility for that. So I have to do what I believe God expects me to do----not align myself with Romney. Those folks' decisions are their own.
Personally I think he/she is hanging out at the wrong site.
" - - - (Have they EVER eliminated a democrat social program or oppressive legislation? ) - - - "
What Republican POTUS was the last POTUS to Balance the Annual Budget for one year that he was in office? (My guess is Calvin Coolidge).
BTW, don't all Republican POTUS Candidates "promise" to Balance the Budget? Since none of them, when elected, actually have, (since possibly Calvin), were all of our Republican Presidents actually Republicans In Name Only?
Cant take the chance a Scalia and kennedy both retire or die...and democrats have a 6-3 majority for the next 20 years
It could be longer than 20 years. This time around, he would go with very young. It could change the country forever and certainly for a generation or more. I'm going to vote against the Kenyan and I don't care what FR or anyone else thinks. I am voting my conscience and my vote will go to whoever has an R beside their name in November.
Hopefully, that will be someone other than Mittens and if it's not, hopefully he chooses a conservative VP so the vote won't be so painful.
It's the primary process playing out. Conservatives like Palin and DeMint chose not to get in the race. Perry, Bachman, Cain and others were eliminated early on in the voting process. Santorum won conservatives over in Iowa and a couple of other states. Gingrich won them over in South Carolina and had his chance at the rest of the south. It is the voters in this primary who have decided the ultimate outcome.
I'm accepting your position that McCain was not way better than Romney. They are both low-life, pukes.
Feel Better?

Archaeological Field School - Mount Morris Site
Historical and Prehistoric Archaeology at the Mills Mansion Site
Mount Morris, Livingston County, New York
Mills Mansion Site
Location: Mount Morris, Livingston County, New York
Season dates: Weekend dig, Saturday & Sundays during July to mid-August
Program Type: Field School
Students spend six weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) of excavation and artifact treatment at the early 19th century National Landmark homestead of Maj. Gen. William Augustus Mills in the Genesee Valley of Western New York. This remarkable site preserves two centuries of continuous historical occupation, beneath which lies a significant prehistoric Archaic component (ca. 5,000 B.P.) yielding evidence of extensive stone tool making. The restored 19th century mansion contains on-site labs and serves as base of operations, where team members participate in excavation and laboratory processing of artifacts from all time periods.
St. John Fisher College and Mount Morris Historical Society
Project Director
Justin A. Tubiolo, St. John Fisher College
The Mills Mansion Site, located one mile from the Genesee River in western New York, was the homestead of Major General William Augustus Mills (1777-1844), who served during the defense of the Niagara frontier in the War of 1812 and commanded the New York militia from six counties. He became a prosperous gentleman farmer and an influential figure in early 19th century Livingston County. Later in life (1838), the General built his elegant Federal style house with Greek Revival accents on Lot 1 in the Village of Mount Morris, which he founded. The restored General William A. Mills House is listed on both the New York State and National Registers of Historic Places and is accredited through the American Association for State and Local History. It is owned and operated by the Mount Morris Historical Society.
Extensive excavations during several previous seasons revealed an array of 19th century structures and landscape features around the house, some of which have been reconstructed based upon the archaeological evidence. Recovered artifacts guide the historical society in building its collections of objects for period rooms.
Additionally, an Archaic period horizon lies beneath the historical strata in this remarkable stratified site. A prehistoric hearth area has been studied, as well as evidence of extensive stone tool making on the site. Each season's fieldwork explores both the historic and prehistoric components. Students will participate in excavation and laboratory processing of finds from all time periods, from the present back through the prehistoric. The General's mansion itself serves as the archaeological team's base of operations and houses the artifact laboratories and exhibits.

Health Center - Diet and Fitness
A healthy diet and a regular fitness routine are keys to living a long, healthy life. Reduce disease risks and symptoms and increase your quality of life by integrating healthy practices now. Your body will thank you. Unsure where to start? You've come to the right place.
Beat Boredom with Bike Riding
As the new year arrived, Jennifer Batchelor knew what she needed to do: revive her exercise routine.
Boredom had caused her to stop jogging several months before. She wanted to find a physical activity that was easy to start and interesting enough to keep her going.
"I hopped on a bike because I thought it would be less of a challenge," says Jennifer, who is 25. She now gets her fitness dose while biking to and from work on the Miami Beach boardwalk, about two-and-a-half miles each way. She avoids street traffic because "being new to riding my bike, I don't have the coordination that a seasoned rider might have."
Jennifer is enthusiastic about her new activity. "It's great exercise and really relaxing," she says. Since beginning to bike, she has cut way back on the caffeinated coffee she used to drink at her desk to get the workday started. "I arrive at work and I'm amped already," she says. "Getting a little adrenaline going has curbed my need for coffee."
For Linda Fisher-Helton, starting to ride a bike last fall was a way to add fun to exercise. "Riding has so much more variety. It allows me to go more places," says the 53-year-old from Camarillo, California. She bikes after work and on weekends, taking short trips to local stores or the library.
Linda sees bike riding as a way to "offset some of the sedentary lifestyle I've developed" and fight creeping midlife weight gain. But what keeps her climbing back into the saddle are the emotional rewards.
Riding a bike "makes me feel like a kid, makes me laugh and makes me smile," Linda says. "Going downhill, I lift my feet up. It just lightens my life. I never worry about how far or how much I've done."
The right activity for almost everyone
Women often choose walking when they start a beginner exercise plan. That's good, but walking also can get dull, or be hard on bones, joints and backs. Many women don't realize that bike riding is an often better beginner exercise, one that provides benefits whether you ride indoors on a stationary bike or outside.
"Biking is generally what we put people on before they progress to other activities," says Stacy J. Ingraham, PhD, an exercise physiologist and kinesiology professor at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
Because riding a bike is a non-weight-bearing activity, there's little to no stress on joints and muscles. That helps avoid the overuse injuries that are common when beginners, especially those carrying extra weight, start fitness programs and do too much, Dr. Ingraham says. "It's probably the most self-sufficient beginner activity that anybody can do without screwing up,"" she adds. "It's the first place I put sedentary people."

According to the folks at Techdirt.com, it's extraordinarily easy to break into ATMs and use default passwords to get them to spew out $20 bills from your account. All ya gotta do find the user manuals for 'em online and use the passwords listed to reprogram the machines.
So to avoid this dilemma, all the ATM owner has to do is change the default passcode, right? Well, apparently it wasn't that hard for the crooks to find machines whose owners' hadn't changed them and pull the same shenanigans.
For instance, the owner of such a machine at a market in Pennsylvania says he was never told he needed to change the master passcode from "123456", and claims it's not his job to know the technical ins and outs of his ATMs. Hence, he doesn't wanna be responsible for his customer's money stolen from it.
Well, can you blame him? I mean, that's like saying I'm responsible for knowing how to drive my own car, do my own taxes and balance my own checkbook. AS IF!

WASHINGTON - Small amounts of anthrax were discovered in four new locations on Capitol Hill, including the Hart Building offices of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., but they do not threaten the health of anyone who worked or visited there, officials said Saturday.
The anthrax findings are "trace amounts," insufficient to be inhaled and damage the lungs or to enter the body through a skin lesion, said Dr. John Eisold, the Capitol physician. "There is no public health threat" and no need for the employees to be tested or to take antibiotics, Eisold said.
The Hart Building has been closed since Oct. 17, two days after a letter containing anthrax was found outside the office suite of Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D. There have been no further mail deliveries since then and all mail headed for members of Congress is being shipped to Lima, Ohio, for sanitization by radiation that would kill anthrax or other bacteria.
Mail in the Hart building when it was closed has been stored in sealed drums and will be examined by the FBI. Meanwhile, the offices in the Hart Building are being tested for anthrax, and Saturday's findings were the latest result of the testing, said Lt. Dan Nichols of the Capitol police.
The anthrax traces were located in the offices of Feinstein, Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, and Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla.
Traces also were found in the Longworth building offices of Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., which is next door to a contaminated suite that had been shut down, said Nichols.
The Longworth building remains open but four offices, including that of Cummings, are now closed.
Investigators are working on the theory that all of these offices were affected by "cross-contamination" when their mail somehow came in contact with the Daschle letter.
There is also the possibility of a second contaminated letter, but nothing has turned up yet, Nichols said.

Liberal Group Raises Bolger's Business History as Election Issue
A liberal advocacy group is attacking state House Speaker Jase Bolger's past business record in attempt to damage his shot at re-election. The attack comes while Bolger is in the midst of a separate election fraud investigation. The group Progress Michigan says Bolger's company avoided paying taxes over the course of three years.
Progress Michigan released documents with information dating between 1997 and the year 2000. They include liens from the state and the IRS demanding Bolger's Summit Credit Service fork over more than $100,000 in unpaid taxes and fees. The documents also show Wachovia Bank sued Bolger and his company for embezzlement and fraud.
"There is no situation being faced by the speaker or his partners that isn't faced by many small businesses in Michigan that struggle during their first few years," says Bolger spokesman Ari Adler.
Adler says Summit has long since paid all the money owed to the government. He also says Wachovia dropped their lawsuit after Summit showed documents proving they never embezzled money or failed to pay their fair share to the bank.

Home › Forums › Korean food discussion › Shinhan Online Grocery Store shopping experience review
This topic contains 1 reply, has 2 voices, and was last updated by Andrea 2 years, 4 months ago.
My korean pantry was running out of the most basic staple, in the local asian store I can only find hot pepper paste. Last time I've been in Milan I restocked at a very good shop I found there but I couldn't go so I tried an online german grocery store, http://shinhan-mall.de/, and I'd like to report I had a perfect super smooth experience.
I placed my order on july 21st, payed with a bank transfer, got a mail on july 22nd telling my goods were shipped and got everything at my doorstep today.
Price for inside EU shipping is euro 9,80, which is the only thing I could complain about but the service was very good.
Thank you for your feedback, I am Italian too and in the chinese grocery store I can find some stuff (gochujang, doenjang, refrigerated kimchi, noodles, etc.) but not everything.
When I happen to go to Milan I go to Il Sempreverde, but i find it quite expensive, so that almost 10 euro shipping from Germany make it somehow affordable if you buy more than one item.
I shopped there when it was called asiakauf, but now that I see a positive feedback for Shinhan I will definitely buy something from them.
I am running out of multigrain rice… :-)
Thank you / grazie
