Thank you kimmers and littlehud! Yes that is my favorite of the three too. Mostly because I know how many hours I spent on it.
The next one is a old mystery quilt from the 2008 mccall's quilting issues. It is a girly girl quilt with tons of butterflies, hearts and flowers in pink and blue florals. That one should be very intense to make, but fun. Gotta stretch yourself right?

Football team has 20 letterwinners
The Pequot Lakes football team has 20 letterwinners from a squad that finished 2-6 in the Heart 'O Lakes North Conference and 2-7 overall.
Letterwinners from last season include seniors Bradley Boldt, Tyler Tappe, Lance Squires, Cole Funk, Justin Mackenthun, Travis Jacobson, Chris Westman, Keegan Johnson and Cadel Roeder; juniors Joel Ebnet, Sabastian Elsenpeter, Connor Davich, Shae Zeidler, Alex Tangen, Karl Satterlund, Zach Trottier, Brody Box, Angelo Tweed and Kyle Sellner; and sophomore CJ Borleis.
Tappe, Jacobson, Westman, Mackenthun and Elsenpeter each received All-Mid-State Conference honorable mention last year.
Tappe led the Patriots in rushing with 818 yards and six touchdowns while Jacobson had a team-high 23 receptions for 356 yards.
Top returning tacklers on defense are Elsenpeter (63 total tackles), Mackenthun (62) and Westman (46).
"We were really young last year, but the kids can really mature a lot in one year," said Pequot Lakes defensive coordinator Nick Grunzke said. "We started a lot of sophomores last year, and they're one year older now. So the speed of practices has changed a lot."
The Patriots have eight players returning on defense and seven on offense. Non-letterwinners hoping to contribute are seniors Jake and Josh Marty, Beau Nelson and Ozzie Miller; juniors Eric Elverum, Dillon Nichols, Caleb Bermel, Brandon Wilcox, Del Ryan, Jon Bocklund, Jeremiah Dischinger, Tristan Jurek, Jared Hutchinson and Dustin Northernscold; and sophomore Chad Christianson.
Assistant coaches are Nick Grunzke, Alex Kunesh, Nate Novak, Sean Naples, Gary Wolf and volunteers Pat Ebnet, Chuck Lane and Jim Urseth.
Last fall, the Patriots lost to Thief River Falls 21-20 in the Section 8AAA playoffs.
Grunzke said that Detroit Lakes and Perham are some of the top teams that Pequot Lakes will face this season.
"Detroit Lakes is definitely one of the favorites this year," he said. "And I think (Section 8AAA) has a real open field."

Jeri ~Believe it or not, I like control too! But some one taught me the sack method. Put your scraps in the sack and pull out as you go. The trick is you can ONLY trade it back once. So if the purple looks terrible next to the forest green you can put it back and pick another, but you have to live with the next one you pick. That helped me to 'believe' that in the end it will work. With the Strip Twist, I had two sacks - dark and light.Quote:

Student Computer Recommendations
The College recommends a laptop as the best type of computer for use by students while at MICA. Laptops take up the least amount of space in students' apartments, can be carried to class and provide mobile computing on the college's wireless network. All current laptops have wireless network adapters but if you think you will have reason to plug into MICA's network directly, you will want to buy a laptop with an ethernet adapter or purchase a USB/Ethernet external adapter (about $20) so that it can be plugged directly into the network jack in your room. It is advised that students bring along an ethernet cable of at least 15 feet. You should be able to purchase a cable from Bestbuy or some other technology store for less than $15. If students are unable to procure an ethernet cord on their own, they should contact the Help Desk at firstname.lastname@example.com / (410) 225 - 2201 to see if an extra ethernet cable is available.
Graphic Design
If you plan to become a Graphic Design major, the recommended computer for that department is a Mac laptop. Buy the best computer within your budget. 4 GB of RAM should be the minimum.
Animation and Environmental Design
These two majors use software that is only available on the PC platform. Therefore, you should make certain you have a PC if you plan to enter one of these majors. We recommend buying a Dell computer. Laptops range in price from $700 to $2500. Look for specials as Dell runs these often. Upgrades or additional peripherals can often be gotten as parts of a special deal. Look for Intel's i series processors--their i5 model is a good base model processor. Students are advised to get at least 4 GB of RAM.
The software for animation requires a fairly powerful PC computer. Although students are not required to purchase this software, many do. Therefore, it is a good idea to get the best computer you can afford if you plan to become a computer animation major or get involved in 3D modeling on the computer. Get a computer with a good video card. A solid video card with 1 - 2 GB of DDR 5 RAM is an absolute requirement for a good 3D machine.
Environmental Design uses AutoCAD software. Again, students are not required to purchase this software on their own but some do.
Other Majors and General information
While at MICA, you will want a computer to access the College network and the Internet, to send email, write papers, do research, edit images and video and store music. Any up-to-date computer will suffice for these purposes. We do have the following recommendations:
Mac Laptop 4 GB RAM or Dell Laptop with at least 4 GB RAM
Wireless capability
USB 2.0 or 3.0 interface (for attaching cameras, external hard drives, scanners, etc)
Windows 7/8 on a PC
OS X on a MAC
The Adobe Creative Cloud will be provided for you as part of your Technology Fee. You will be given instructions on how to acquire your copy of the suite once you arrive at MICA. This bundle includes Photoshop, Illustrator, inDesign, Dreamweaver and many other important software titles. These will be upgraded for you as versions change during your time at MICA. For information on how to access to this software bundle, please click here.
Google Apps is part of the web-based software package you will have access to as a MICA student. This includes Gmail, Google Calendar and Contacts, Google Docs, Google Books, Google Drive (for storing files) Picassa,(for storing images), and a host of other applications.
Microsoft Office is available to students, faculty and staff. MICA students should contact the Help Desk for their licensing information, while MICA staff and faculty can purchase their software from the school store for a nominal fee.
Moodle will be your Learning Management System and will be used by all classes to communicate with you concerning class documents, book lists, assignments, etc. Moodle can be accessed through the MyMICA portal.
Lynda.Com - Lynda is a web-based training package to help you learn all of the important software that you will be using at MICA. This includes most software in all disciplines. You can create your own account and track your progress, receive certificates for completion of lessons and communicate your success to your instructors.
Anti-virus software - You should definitely install anti-virus software on your computer. This is VERY important since you will be connecting to a large network at MICA where the chances of coming in contact with a destructive virus are much greater than you might be used to working at home. Software such as MalwareBytes and Avast! are recommended by MICA's department of technology (TSS) for ensuring the security of one's computer.
Theft Prevention - There are multiple ways you can safeguard your laptop or mobile device while at MICA. I your have an Apple product, use iCloud to create a Track my iPod/iPad/Laptop account. This will give you real-time information about the location of your device if it becomes lost or stolen. If you need help in setting this up, please come to the Tech Desk. You can also use the free Front Door Software application that can be downloaded for your Mac or PC from this web page.
If you have any questions about purchasing a computer for your use at MICA, please contact the Help Desk at 410-225-2291 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Four years on, wife calls for Tibetan filmmaker's release
Lhamo Tso has not spoken to her husband Dhondup Wangchen since March 17, 2008. She, their four children, and his elderly parents live in India, and hear of him only when his sister visits the Xichuan Prison in Qinghai province, western China, where he is serving six years. Through glass, he passes on the news: He's contracted hepatitis, though the prison won't let the family pay for proper medical treatment. He's working less -- promoted from 17-hour days in a brick kiln to manufacturing acupuncture needles. His two lawyers have been told their Beijing-based firm will be put out of business if they continue to work on his case.

Departing New Zealand Rugby League chief executive Jim Doyle will join the NRL and conduct a full review of pathways and assist them with business and community programmes in New Zealand.
Doyle spent three years as NZRL boss, and leaves the organisation in good shape after improving the bank balance from virtually nothing to more than $1 million. He also oversaw a dramatic restructure of what was a troubled organisation.
His new role will see him work on the NRL's whole-of-game review - the NRL 2013-17 Game Plan - and he will conduct a full review of rugby league pathways, and in particular the role of second-tier competitions from the Toyota Cup to the NSW and Queensland Cups.
He will assist in guiding investment in the competitions and resourcing for referees, administrators and volunteers.
"Jim's achievement over the last three years in New Zealand has been simply outstanding,'' NRL interim chief executive Shane Mattiske said. "He has an incredible business background, a love of rugby league and a proven track record in both grassroots development and high performance management.
"Importantly, he is a good listener who is able to bring a fresh perspective to a fundamentally important area of the game.''
Doyle will begin his role in the New Year and will remain based in New Zealand, where he will also assist the NRL in pursuing business and community programmes in that country.
"I'm looking forward to the opportunity to be involved with the NRL and to assist in identifying strategic investment areas,'' he said. "For me the key has been about getting alignment between the leagues and the competitions in a way that allows everyone to push in the one direction.
"Rugby league is full of passionate people and great competitions and the object of this review will be to ensure that they are aligned in a way that means each strengthens the other.
"My role will be to identify the undoubted strengths of what is in place but also to identify the opportunities and it is a really exciting project that will give people a real chance to provide input into the sport's development.''

DxOMark review for the Nikon 24-120, the new constant f/4 aperture on DxOMark.Tuesday November 23 2010 Lens Review
As with some other newly-launched Nikkor lenses, this brand-new 24-120mm lens features a constant f/4 aperture. This is a very nice improvement over the 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G ED IF, as the new lens should be able to gather twice as much light at 120mm than the old one.
The construction of the lens has also been improved and refined: if it still counts 13 groups, the number of optical element now reaches 17 (15 on the old model). For this lens, Nikon used its Nano Crystal Coat to reduce or eliminate internal reflections and thus to annihilate parasitic phenomena such as flare or ghosting effects.
To build this zoom, Nikon used two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and three aspherical lens elements aiming at reducing aberrations. While the previous 24-120mm also used two ED lens elements, it had only two aspherical ones and no Nano Crystal Coat.
Combined with the constant f/4 aperture, the use of Nikon's VR II stabilization technology promises to save up to 4 shutter speeds. So although this is not really a fast lens, the addition of these two features (constant aperture and stabilization) should help you capture sharp pictures in complicated light environments
Let's jump to the tests.

In southern Quebec and Ontario it has been a bumber crop. time to rejoice
In southern Quebec and Ontario it has been a bumber crop. time to rejoice
Had a great spring crop, started exracting the last week of June, a month earlier than ever before, and got around 60 lbs./ hive. No summer flow (basswood) at all due to high temperatures. Fall crop below normal )75 lbsd vs/ 90-100 normal) due to 4 weeeks of no rain however we had 3 inches from Katrina at the beginning of Golden Rod and are gaining some ground back. A slightly above average year in the Finger Lakes.
i'm in the fraser valley in southern bc. I came into the spring with 20 hives and bought 30 packages and then split again to get the 100 hives i have now, so much of the energy of the flows we've had went into the build up of our splits, all else considered, we still hauled in 3000 lbs, the maple flow was below average, the black berries were quickly gone because of rain, and in this last part it seems i had a crop of honeydew in my eastern part of the valley yard. we brought our hives up to an area in the mountains for fireweed but the bees seemed to fine the honeydew again (most upsetting, i do say). over all it was an average year.
Will Gruenwald Chilliwack BC
May is usually the month when hives in this area build up a large population. This year, because of rain and cold the month was almost a complete loss. The bees weren't ready when the main flow started. We had a good warm summer, so the bees recovered fairly well. Now that the goldnrod is in bloom, we have had another week of rain, so the late crop will probably also be decreased.
Over all I would call it a below average year, but not terrible.
Linux - World domination through world cooperation
Due to record winter rains in the Central Coast of Ca. we also got bumper crops. First sage harvest in three years, and the hives in avocado orchards and raspberry farms produced lots due to wild flowers in the area.
It's very dry now, and except for a few irrigated area like in town things have stopped.
A very good year here still have some extracting to do yet.I will end up with 900 to 1000 lbs from 7 hives.Now i have rto do some marketing,but a good problem to have.

I also would love for you to write down names of celebrities and actors and actresses in the comments and on Friday I will give an updated account of how I choose A-D list and also respond with a description of each of the people you name in the comments so that will give a frame of reference as of March 2014 at least.

I expect basics and pound the ball. Kind of the opposite of Killdrive. He only ran when he HAD to.
I am looking forward to seeing Jennings pound the ball on opposing teams to give us a rushing attack, give us more balance on offense and take some pressure and heat off Eli which should cut down on his INT's.
Draft I am hoping we land Lewan and a stud guard in the second and later in the draft a center.
Man smash mouth football !!!

Edward V was the son of Edward IV and after his father's death was next in line for the throne at the age of only twelve. However his uncle, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, was appointed Protector. What happened next has developed into legend with no conclusive proof. However, it has been widely believed that Edward V and his younger brother, Richard Duke of York, were murdered on their uncle's orders and buried in the Tower. Their uncle became King Richard III and the two boys became known as the lost princes of the Tower of the London.
Edward V's figure was displayed dramatically in the Line of Kings. In a 'finely decorated' adolescent's armour with a crown suspended above his head, a powerful visualisation of the fact that Edward V was proclaimed king, but never crowned. It is not surprising that in the visitor account, A Journey from London to Birmingham, William Hutton comments that 'Edward the Fifth, of all others, demands our pity.', because everything about the display of this uncrowned king was designed to evoke pity and emphasise his vulnerability.
He was displayed in a 'rich suit of armour', emphasising his royal blood and right to be in the Line. However, as seen in the print produced by Thomas Rowlandson and Augustus Pugin in 1809, the armour was small compared to the others alongside it. Furthermore, guidebooks record Edward V as displayed holding a lance, which would have represented part of his physical education as heir to the throne, and the lance would have also emphasised his youth.
Out of the Line of Kings, but within the Horse Armoury was displayed a representation of Edward V's brother, Richard, Duke of York. As it was believed Richard had died at about the age of ten, the armour used was very small. However, the armour that we believe was formerly used to represent Richard, Duke of York, we now know dates from the early seventeenth century and so is much too late to have had any real association with Richard, Duke of York.
When the Line of Kings was expanded and improved in the 1680s, it was only a few years after the skeletons of two children had been discovered during building work at the Tower. Believed to be the remains of the two princes they were later interned at Westminster Abbey. With such an emotive connection to the Tower it would have appeared absurd not to include them in the Line of Kings. However neither the representation of Edward V or Richard, Duke of York, survived the re-display led by the appointed armour expert, Samuel Meyrick in the 1826-7. The desire to evoke an emotive response from the display was replaced by a desire for greater historical accuracy.
Edward V is not represented in the present Line of Kings display but the horse on which his figure was shown sitting can be identified and is on display. Some writers have suggested that the carved head exhibited as probably representing James I & VI may instead have been part of the figure of Edward V.

Video: John Ziegler's arrest
posted at 3:10 pm on April 16, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
From the Someone Left the Irony On Department, John Ziegler gets arrested by security guards outside USC's Annenberg School of Journalism for committing … er … journalism. He wanted to ask people attending their ceremony honoring Katie Couric with their Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism about the award, and the Annenberg School of Journalism apparently objected to … er … journalism. Watch the whole video, as John provides a good running commentary:
When will Reporters Without Borders lodge a protest against the Annenberg School of Journalism for having journalists arrested? Would Walter Cronkite have approved of police locking up reporters for merely covering an event and walking on property that is very obviously open to the public in doing so?
The Annenberg School of Journalism … teaching journalists how to stonewall and intimidate … journalists.

I went back and edited it (it should work now). Any experience? And, yeah it's not cheap.

An older thread on this issue:
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
Yes I have several... ups and downs... dont like the bottoms covers must be weighted. entrances are hard to control (too long and small) hives seem to hold up well (mine are about 4 years old) but break with abuse.
Bees seem to do very well in them, and they are light.... if you only have a cpl hives there fine.....
Cool. I'm looking to keep up about 10 to 15. I think I'll stick with wood (also based on the the other thread).
The only thing I think I would like about them would be the R factor. I have lots of woodware, so I am going to put foam insulation on my boxes this winter, build up the R factor.

Video: WSJ editorial board gleefully slanders conservatives
posted at 4:17 pm on June 1, 2007 by Bryan
This vid has been making the rounds, but we haven't posted it here and it is a must-watch. If you oppose the shamnesty bill, prepare to be insulted, called a racist, and generally dismissed as a crank.
JunkYardBlog sums it up well:
Rather than acknowledging (let alone refuting) our claims about national security, social services, human rights and working conditions for near-indentured servants, they're content to adjudge us all know-nothings. It's much easier to fling around these baseless smears of racism at National Review and "the Right".* It's called race-baiting, and it's a term the WSJ understands quite well. As outspoken conservatives, these men know full well how infuriating groundless accusations of racism are, and yet they're surprised that Mark Levin, or more broadly, the party base, don't just sit there and take it with a smile.
We all know that feeling quite well these days.

Just posted! Sony DSC-S75 review
We've just posted our review of Sony's DSC-S75, this camera enters the market with a hint of Sony's new, more photographic approach to digital camera design. There are lots of nice touches and updates since the DSC-S70, although the lens, CCD and internal engine are essentially the same the DSC-S75 is much more of a "photographers camera", best of all it arrives in the market some $200 cheaper than most of the competition.
Note: although this is still a pre-production sample it's a later version than those reviewed on other sites, we'll update the review when we receive a full production model.

Jay Cooke Middle School, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
What's New
President Bush says, "What we are trying to do is give parents more options," at event supporting public school choice in the District of Columbia.
Innovations in the News
A provision in the Ohio state budget allows Ohio to grow its school choice program by 1,000 students; plus information on scholarships, school choice, home-schooling, virtual schools and charter schools.
Jay Cooke Middle School Moves Off the State's List for Improvement
In 1997, the Jay Cooke Middle School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, faced a crisis: the school had low test scores, in fact, many students scored below basic proficiency on Pennsylvania state tests. The school was identified as needing improvement, and the state was considering a take-over. The staff at the Jay Cooke Middle School took action and voted to adopt a new reform model.
They adopted the Talent Development Middle School (TDMS) model, and just three years after its implementation, Jay Cooke Middle School moved off Pennsylvania's improvement list. Teaching improved, test scores rose, absenteeism was cut, and more students were being promoted to the next grade level.
The TDMS program, developed at Johns Hopkins University, contains eight fundamental components. Through the standards driven curriculum in math, reading/language arts, social studies, and science, supplemented by research-based instruction, school organization, and professional development, all students are provided with tools to learn challenging academic material.
Some of the elements in the TDMS model that were used at the Jay Cooke School include:
- Student Team Literature, a cooperative learning approach to teaching and learning reading, English, and language arts (RELA);
- A mathematics curriculum built around materials, developed by the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project, that blend skill building with problem solving;
- A hands-on, inquiry-oriented science curriculum linked to national standards and benchmarks;
- School organization that allows teachers, students, and families to establish close, caring relationships; and
- Focused and sustained professional development with in-school support by highly trained facilitators.
The Talent Development model is currently being used in 18 schools in 6 states: New Jersey, Louisiana, Washington, Michigan, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania. The research at the Johns Hopkins/ Howard University Center for Research on the Education of Students Placed At Risk (CRESPAR), which developed the Talent Development Middle School reform model, was funded by the US Department of Education.
Readers are advised that the contribution of specific components of the Talent Development model to the overall results for the Jay Cooke Middle School cannot be determined. For more information about the Jay Cooke Middle School, see http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2000/10/04/05msphilly.h20.html For information about the Talent Development Middle School reform model, see http://www.csos.jhu.edu/tdms/faq.htm. For more information on CRESPAR, see http://www.csos.jhu.edu/crespar/.
What's New
From the U.S. Department of Education
On July 1st, President George W. Bush, along with Secretary Rod Paige and Mayor Anthony Williams, discussed the Administration's plans to promote school choice in the District of Columbia before a group of around 200 DC leaders, education entrepreneurs, parents and students at the KIPP DC Key Academy, a free, open-enrollment public school that is administered by the Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP). Key Academy is one school in the national network of 15 KIPP schools in the country. Representatives Tom Davis (R-VA), Chairman of the House Government Reform Committee and Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ), Chairman of the House District of Columbia Appropriations Subcommittee; DC Councilman Kevin Chavous, Chairman of the City Council's Committee on Education; DC School Board President Peggy Cooper Cafritz; and music legend Quincy Jones also participated in the event. To view an article about the event, go to The Washington Post
Parental Involvement
Representatives Tom Davis (R-VA) and John Boehner (R-OH) have introduced legislation promoting the Administration's plan to expand parental options in DC. HR 2556, the "DC Parental Choice Incentive Act of 2003" is scheduled to be marked up before Chairman Davis's Committee on July 10th. For a summary of the proposed legislation, see http://www.ed.gov/programs/dcchoice/index.html.
Funding Opportunities
The grant competitions for Models in Arts Education and Professional Development for Arts Education will be closing soon. The deadline for both competitions is July 10, 2003. Grants will be awarded to local education agencies, including charter schools that are LEAs, that collaborate with at least one of the following: an institution of higher education; a state education agency; or a public or private nonprofit agency with a history of providing high quality professional development to public schools. For more information about these competitions, see http://www.ed.gov/programs/artsedmodel/applicant.html and http://www.ed.gov/programs/artsedprofdev/applicant.html.
The grant competition for Parental Information and Resource Centers remains open. Applications for this program are due July 18, 2003. The competition is open to nonprofit agencies, including faith-based and community organizations, or consortia of nonprofit agencies and school districts (though not school districts alone). These centers will, among other things, inform the parents of children who attend schools needing improvement about their options. For more information, see http://www.ed.gov/programs/pirc/index.html.

seems legit
why do you think clinton had a budget surplus?
couldnt be the economic boom...could it?
fail again hugo.
CNN did a little blurb right after the debate saying that Romney's claim that the number of unemployed individuals under Obama has risen to 23 million. They showed that the only way you can get to that figure is to stretch the meaning of unemployment extremely thin - which includes counting people who are underemployed.
why do you think clinton had a budget surplus?
fail again hugo.
What about the willfully unemployed? I remember a bunch of videos of a certain group of people talking about not having to work anymore not that there's a black man for president.
Eh, I was never one to believe in the hope and change bs.
quote:He was also lumping SS into the general fund. Baby boomers weren't retiring left and right yet.
The internet boom and the information age helped in generating revenue.
Unless Romney is keeping some economic revolution under wraps, I just don't see how he could make these claims.
still a fricking child I see.
What other reason was he elected in 2008?
Because, you know, that segment of the economy has struggled the last 4 years.
He also promised a turn back to realism in foreign policy, which I personally believed he delivered on.
that segment of the economy has struggled the last 4 years.
open up and remove regulations on oil/gas production.
Damn, that was easy....
2) "I don't have a $5 trillion tax cut. I don't have a tax cut of a scale that you're talking about." A Tax Policy Center analysis of Romney's proposal for a 20 percent across-the-board tax cut in all federal income tax rates, eliminating the Alternative Minimum Tax, eliminating the estate tax and other tax reductions, would reduce federal revenue $480 billion in 2015. This amount to $5 trillion over the decade.
3) "My view is that we ought to provide tax relief to people in the middle class. But I'm not going to reduce the share of taxes paid by high-income people." If Romney hopes to provide tax relief to the middle class, then his $5 trillion tax cut would add to the deficit. There are not enough deductions in the tax code that primarily benefit rich people to make his math work.
4) "My — my number-one principal is, there will be no tax cut that adds to the deficit. I want to underline that: no tax cut that adds to the deficit." As the Tax Policy Center concluded, Romney's plan can't both exempt middle class families from tax cuts and remain revenue neutral. "He's promised all these things and he can't do them all. In order for him to cover the cost of his tax cut without adding to the deficit, he'd have to find a way to raise taxes on middle income people or people making less than $200,000 a year," the Center found.
5) "I will not under any circumstances raise taxes on middle-income families. I will lower taxes on middle-income families. Now, you cite a study. There are six other studies that looked at the study you describe and say it's completely wrong." The studies Romney cites actually further prove that Romney would, in fact, have to raise taxes on the middle class if he were to keep his promise not to lose revenue with his tax rate reduction.
6) "I saw a study that came out today that said you're going to raise taxes by $3,000 to $4,000 on middle-income families." Romney is pointing to this study from the American Enterprise Institute. It actually found that rather than raise taxes to pay down the debt, the Obama administration's policies — those contained directly in his budget — would reduce the share of taxes that go toward servicing the debt by $1,289.89 per taxpayer in the $100,000 to $200,000 range
8) "Mr. President, all of the increase in natural gas and oil has happened on private land, not on government land. On government land, your administration has cut the number of permits and licenses in half." Oil production from federal lands is higher, not lower: Production from federal lands is up slightly in 2011 when compared to 2007. And the oil and gas industry is sitting on 7,000 approved permits to drill, that it hasn't begun exploring or developing.
9) "The president's put it in place as much public debt — almost as much debt held by the public as all prior presidents combined." This is not even close to being true. When Obama took office, the national debt stood at $10.626 trillion. Now the national debt is over $16 trillion. That $5.374 trillion increase is nowhere near as much debt as all the other presidents combined.

Reviews of this property
Die Wohnung ist hervorragend zentrumsnah und verkehrsgünstig gelegen, allerdings war ein nicht unbeträchtlicher Verkehrs- und Baulärm dadurch unvermeidlich. Umfangreiche Bauarbeiten an den Gehwegen bis zum August 2016 brachten zusätzliche Einschränkungen mit sich. Die Ausstattung war zufriedenstellend; Leselampen an den Betten sowie vollständiges Essbesteck einschließlich Messer wäre wünschenswert. Bei dem Gebäude handelt es sich um ein sowjetisches Wohnhochhaus in Betonbauweise ohne Klimatisierung, das sich bei sommerlichen Temperaturen erheblich aufheizt.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The apartment we got was not the one which photo had been on the Wimdo page, and the one on the photo looked nicer and seemed to be in a better condition.
The apartment is big enough for 2 persons and the location in Moscow is good to reach many points of interest by walking.
The apartment would need some repair, some more items in the kitchen (there were e.g. no wine glasses when we arrived, we bought some, so this problem should be solved.) There is no possiblity in the bed room to make it dark in the night (not so comfortable during the "white nights"). As Nowy Arbat is a big road and the windows are not the best, it is very noisy during the whole night.
Although the apartment is not that one in the photo and it's a little bit exaggerated to call it marvellous everything was ok. The location is very good, near the metro station and walking distance to the Red square, Bolshoi, etc.etc. The communication was very goods with the host always fast to replying. The receiving of the key was easy and Egor was always reachable, and was quick to solve a little problem I had with adsl. So in total the stay was goods and I was satisfied and I will apply again to Egor for my next stay.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We stayed as a family in the flat number 8 near to the Старый Арбат for one week in june 2015. For russian standards the flat is great, clean and is in a good house. But, the organisation with the manager could be better. All in one we enjoyed the flat and Moscow!
On the last day we found out that our apartment is occupied by a geschprich with Egor, that's normal, he says, the guests had decided to stay on. Did he genant unz the other address and the wrong.
Am letzten Tag haben wir erfahren das unser Wohnung besetzt ist nach ein geschprich mit Egor, das ist normal sagt er, die Gäste hatten sich entscheiden weiter zu bleiben. Hat er unz die andere Adresse genant und die stimmte nicht.
Nice apartment, great view over Moscow skyline.
Comfy bed, wireless working.
Key exchange uncomplicated via receptionist in the building.
The apartment is about 7 mins walk from the Beloruskaya metro ring station - one star for this. It has been renovated with double-glass windows, laminate floors and light wallpaper. Separate toilet and bathroom, clean and good working order. Another star for this. There is a sofa bed in the living room but no dining table or working desk. If you have to work on your computer you have to sit on a wooden stool in the kitchen. There is a small TV in the living room with local channels. Internet and WiFi working OK. The bed in the bedroom can just about sleep two people, but only just. Washing machine, oven and microwave, date back to pre-historic times. Vacuum cleaner doesn't work. Kitchen knives are totally blunt and unusable. Pots and pans with broken-off handles - burn your fingers. No wine glasses. No wine opener. The list goes on. When we called the agency to enquire about this the answer was: "The apartment has everything you need". The mentality of the people managing this place dates back to soviet times as well. It is obvious the owner never uses the place him/herself and is squeezing every ruble out of exploiting the place. We spend a lot of time in Moscow on visits but we'll be looking elsewhere next time. The experience has also materially affected our opinion of Wimdu as advertiser of properties like this.
Die Wohnung ist gut und zentral gelegen. Allerdings durch Verkehrslärm auch nachts sehr laut. Die Einrichtung entsprach den Erwartungen. Die Informationen vom Vermieter sind etwas spärlich. Insgesamt zufriedenstellend.
Super ruim en proper appartement. Alles aanwezig van handdoeken tot afwasmiddel en zelfs kruiden om te koken. Oxana De conciërge deed er alles aan om te helpen. Ook zeer goed gelegen vlakbij de arbat en een grote goedkope superwinkel die 24 u per dag open is recht tegenover de deur.
Mooi zicht , ook van de chaos op de ring maar eens de ramen dicht, geen last van het geluid. Zeker aan te raden en voor herhaling vatbaar. 1 minpuntje' : de boiler was kapot dus zoals vroeger met grote pannen heet water het bad aangenaam gemaakt.
Ook met wimdu alles netjes en correct verlopen .!

Hey everyone,
I thought id stop by here and tell everyone about myself. My name is Spc. Marshall, Im in the Army, ive been in for 3 years, i was stationed in Baumholder Germany for 2 years, then i pcsed to Ft. Benning and im now in 3rd Brigade 3ID, and i love it. Im currently deployed to Camp Rustamiya, Iraq. It was formerly known as camp muleskinner and camp cuervo. My base is in baghdad, and we get mortared and rocketed alot, but it rarely hits anything. I am an 11b (infantryman) and i am currently putting in my packet for Operational Detachment Delta, or delta force. Im still just getting started with my packet, but i think i have a pretty descent chance of at least going to the selection. Well, thats all about me for now, wish me luck!
Spc. Marshall
p.s. ill have pics on here soon from the deployment
Good luck to ya and I hope all your dreams come to true. Thanks young man for serving.
Welcome and greetings from the "other" theater. Same deal here, we get rocketed and mortared, but the hajis can't shoot worth a damn.
Good luck with Delta! That's a job for young lions, not broken-down old gunslingers like me, so go get 'em!

thanks for your service.
Hey everyone,
i just wanted to say thanks for all the positive support. This forum is pretty cool. I talked to my company commander today and he is going to help me with my delta application. Hes been around the sf world before. He thinks i should go to special forces first then try for delta. He still supports me in whatever i want to do. Im still going to try for delta first, but im not closing any doors at this time... I just want to do all the crazy army stuff while im still young. This is my second deployment, and were gunna be here till june 08. The long deployments are getting tiring. I have heard that sf only deploys for short deployments. That would be nice, but ive also heard that its balls to the wall from the time u deploy to the time u get back.. But im ready for it, i need a new challenge in my life! Im gunna go for now, some of my squad is going to have a tx hold em tourney so i gotta go get ready for that... Ill talk to yall later!

Director of Business Auxiliary Services
(Sept. 5, 2008)--The City of San Antonio will begin repairs to Valero Way on Sept. 10. City workers will begin preparation of the roadway Sept. 10 and in approximately one week will lay approximately a half inch of asphalt.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hi Thistledo, strictly speaking you don't need a dedicated steamer to steam things. Do you have a colander or sieve that will fit over a saucepan? If so, put about 3 - 4 inches of water in the pan, put the colander or sieve over the top, and bring to the boil. Voila ! one home-made steamer. You could also use a perforated foil plate.
Hope this helps

Hey Jamie. I'm a newbee to cooking, so I apologize for dumb questions.
When making recipes that call for canned tomatoes (doing a lot of Italian lately, and no fresh toms available) whether whole, chopped or crushed, many (not you) don't specify whether to reserve and use, or the toss out the juice or liquod that also comes in the can. Any advice?
Also, check out cool vegetarian/vegan blog "Let The Good In."
Thanks in advance.

I always use the juice as well unless it specifies to strain the tomatoes.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hello Jamie!
When you were here in Canada at the Marylin Denis Show,you listed Pantry Essentials and the like.
My question is in regards to the 5 Spice Powder you mentioned, there is a Chinese/Asian 5 spice and a Eastern India (Bengali or Panch Phoron) 5 spice which one were you referring to?
On a personable note, thanks to living with my British grandparents and solely watching BBC and BBC Canada all the passion I had for food and cooking for the family came directly from you and The Naked Chef in '98-99. Having lost my passion years ago through terrible family issues I stopped cooking, now many, many years later having once again been lucky enough to enjoy watching you on a variety of t.v shows here in Canada, again with the passion for cooking and good food that many don't share for life let alone food, it has made me want to pick up the knives for me and my family.
One day Sir Jamie, I hope and pray for 15 minutes, perhaps a 15 minute meal?, and the chance of a lifetime to look you in the eyes and say without hesitation, "Thank you Mr.Oliver for making my life so much better!!!"
Until then, All the best to you and yours for continued success, health and happiness!

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Gidday Jamie
I dont want to ask a question but just wante to make more of a statement! I tried to send an email but I was too restricted with how many words I could type
I have been an avid fan since I saw you cooking on the Naked Chef many years ago. You have inspired me over the years to cook meals that are tasty and enjoyable to create. I praise your efforts in encouraging everyone out there to enjoy the pleasures of food and creating a meal that is fantastic to eat and easy to prepare.
I received your 15 min meal recipe book for xmas in 2012 and since coming back from holidays (we were away during Jan) I have cooked 2 meals and so far 2 out of 2 have tasted pretty darn fine!! What an assult on the taste buds! The recipes are soooo easy to follow, the food is soooo nutricious AND it hasnt broken the bank balance! I can get everything that is listed in the ingredients list at my local supermarket or our farmers market.
This post is to just let you know that you really nailed it with this book Jamie and I congratulate you on a job well done. Not only have you created an easy to follow recipe book (and beleive you me I have tried ALOT of recipe books over the years) but you blew this one out of the water! My kids loved it, hubby loved it and I most certainly enjoyed making the meals. You have put a new lease of life into our evening meals again!
I also received your DVD on 30 min meals and cant wait to check out a few of those recipes. The DVDs are great because you show the veiwer little 'cheffy' tips that you dont otherwise see in a recipe book!
Keep up the campaign on offering the public a service with your expertise in the kitchen Jamie, it really DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE - and I hope I am not the only one telling you that!
We exercise regularly, enjoy family holidays, don't smoke and live an average lifestyle like the rest of the population but we do beleive that food is a LUXURY YOU CAN AFFORD and once again you nailed it with your recipe book!
Thanx again Jamie - its pure gold!

Welcome to the forums, Janetkay.
My Dad used to drink that. It was a liquid, treacly concoction that was heavy on chicory. Bushells used to make it. Haven't seen it for years but then I haven't looked for it . Check in the tea/coffee aisle at the supermarket.
Sorry, I'm not much help, am I?
Good luck

Hi JanetKay, can you get a coffee essence where you are? If not just make a strong coffee syrup - use instant coffee or instant esspreso powder, you'll probably need a couple of teaspoons to get the strength.
Hope this helps

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hello, please can someone help me find a recipe, from around 4 years ago. It was in the news of the world Sunday magazine. It was Jamie Oliver's 'coconut macaroon brownie' I have searched everywhere and can not find it. Being as this was one of my favourite deserts I have ever made please can someone help me find it again.
Thank you

Stone Inspired Ltd
Stone Inspired Ltd is an award-winning Scottish garden landscaping company. We specialise in using traditional dry stone walling techniques in contemporary garden design and landscaping projects. Our raw material is locally sourced, either direct from quarries or from stone suppliers. We work closely with clients building a variety of dry stone walls and features including raised beds; steps and staircases; retaining walls; terraces; benches; boundary walls; arches and much much more! The stone we build with is an amazingly adaptable material that offers many benefits. These include design flexibility; strength; durability and beauty. It is eco-friendly product, requiring no mortar or cement to bond it. The techniques that we use are almost as ancient as the stone we build with! It does not require extensive foundations to build upon – usually literally straight off the ground is good enough. Dry stone walls are very long lasting and require very little maintenance. For our gardening clients, dry stone retaining walls are free-draining making them an excellent option over brick and block-work walls. They provide habitat for insects – bumble bees especially love the nooks that the stone-work provides. Many clients have used the spaces in the stones to plant hardy alpines – stone walls make for natural rockeries. Stone Inspired Ltd is based in the Lothians, but our work takes in a wide sweep through Edinburgh, Glasgow, Fife, Lanarkshire, Perthshire and the Scottish Borders. We predominately work for private clients but have worked for East Lothian and Clackmannanshire councils as well as main contractors. No job is too small (or too big!) We are professional members of the Dry Stone Walling Association.

text: Here's The Low's report on Summer League Game 4, also at BadBoySummerCamp.com. 2007 SL Game 4 Recap - Detroit vs. Denver by The LowJuly 12, 2007 DET vs DEN – VSL Game 4 AGAIN???!!! Today and ENTIRE ROW of #$*@s plant themselves in front of me while recording the 3rd qtr. Are they intentional plants of The Man? WTF??? Honestly, this game really didn't deserve a write up, but I will suffer the task regardless. Points of note: No Jason Maxiell Today: Go figure. 1st Qtr Maxiell looked to be getting a rest today by not starting. No wonder, he's been eating the rest of VSL for lunch. DET started this game off shooting fairly well, although not getting much from the reserves. Mejia looks to have a good start today. 2nd Qtr DEN started this qtr being much more aggressive than DET at driving the lane. To make matters worse, DET wasn't getting much out of their offense to start this game either. DEN is also drawing some fouls and managing to finish at the basket. 3rd Qtr I blacked out this qtr as I was so infuriated with the pack of geriatric fans that plopped down right in front of me, that I actually lost focus on the game after having to pack up the laptop, camcorder and notebook and move 10 seats away. All the while getting the, "What's his problem?" look from the RowHeads. Mind you, the gym is only at about 40% capacity. There are dozens of other empty rows they could have taken. At the end of it all, there was some back and forth, but nothing of note. 4th Qtr This qtr was played as though it was just necessary. DEN is building a lead and maintaining control of the action AND pretty pleased with their efforts. Hell, they SHOULD BE with Lamond Murray, Nikoloz Tskitishvili, and Jelani McCoy on the court for their SL team. DET looked as if they would make an attempt at a comeback, but really fell short and took the L today. Individual Notes: Stuckey Stuckey was a mixed bag today. He seemed aggressive at times and stagnant at others. Overall an average showing for Rodney today. Afflalo Afflalo wasn't overly involved today. He didn't look to be lacking effort, just not a ton of results. Don't take my comments to mean Afflalo didn't produce. I simply mean that it was one of those games that players have where they might score 20 pts, but you never knew they were on the court. He did contribute today, but it came across live as a very quiet 20. Many of you know what I'm talking about when mentioning a quiet 20. Samb Samb has been equally disappointing this year at VSL as he was surprisingly impressive last year. You hate to say a guy can't do something before he has the chance, but without weight training and improved reaction times, this may be the last we see of Samb. Mejia Sammy looks like he puts out maximum effort every time out. Again, he wasn't a dominant factor, but he finds away to keep himself involved in the action. Maxiell DNP - Day off. Well, this was a pretty dry game today, but I think that's to be expected at some point during VSL. The overall talent level across the board just isn't there and today was a perfect example of that. My guess is that coaches used this opportunity to evaluate the players individually as opposed to overall team/game performance.
