Flight of the Monarch
Book by: Aurora Michaels
Status: Finished
Genre: Romance
Chapter1 (v.1) - Flight of the Monarch
As she felt her body and mind go numb, Austin reached for her hand, bent over and gently kissed the center of her palm. His lips remained for a bit as Hayley searched desperately for something to say. He placed her hand over his heart as his head was bowed and his eyes were closed. Hayley heard a gasp escape his throat. She wondered if this would be the last time she would feel his gentle touch. Would she have only dreams of a life with him? As tears filled her eyes, he released her hand. Covering her face, she dropped to the ground. As the tears poured down her face, Austin rode away. Her hopes for a beautiful day had suddenly and completely crumbled around her.
Maddie searched for words, but finding none, she left the room.
"I will send someone by to gather you and your belongings."
The bright rays of the sun stung Maddie's eyes again as she watched Mrs. Sommers rush past the door and rush to her carriage. The sun, she now thought, was not the only thing that was overwhelming and irritating.
"I cannot believe you have waited until now to tell me!" Hayley squealed to Maddie, as she watched her lay her clothes into her travel bag.
"I will tell you what I shall do." Maddie's eyes brightened. "I will inform Mrs. Sommers that I will have a need of you to deliver messages to me from Mr. Lawrence." She paused for a bit. "I will also, if necessary, send Mr. Sommers to deliver messages." Hayley knew exactly to which Mr. Sommers Maddie was referring. She took the bag from Maddie. They gave each other a triumphant glance, as they left the room.
"Three o'clock!" She yelled, and did not turn to watch them leave.

Wow! That was great! Loved the precise conversations held between the two, and the details of the surroundings!! Especially the language between the two, it was proper, no slang! Which was exactly how it was back in the nineteenth century! Very well done :)

Baghdad Is the Worst Place in the World to Live
November 29, 2011 at 5:19 PM Leave a comment
So America, after hundreds of billions of dollars and roughly 100,000 lives lost, this is Baghdad today (thanks George!):
Vienna's excellent infrastructure, safe streets and good public health service make it the nicest place to live in the world, consulting group Mercer said in a global survey which put Baghdad firmly in last place.
German and Swiss cities also performed especially well in the quality of living rankings, with Zurich, Munich, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Geneva and Bern in the top 10.
The Austrian capital, with its ornate buildings, public parks and extensive bicycle network recently reduced the cost of its annual public transport ticket to 1 euro a day.
Serious crime is rare and the city of around 1.7 million inhabitants regularly tops global quality of life surveys.
Baghdad's political turmoil, poor security enforcement and attacks on local people and foreigners made it the worst place to live in 2011, both in terms of life quality and safety.
America, I'm ashamed of us.
If you'd like to see the full list of most livable cities based on (1) quality of life, and (2) personal safety, go here. The highest ranked U.S. city in the quality of life category is Honolulu at #29. There are no U.S. cities in the personal safety category.

"An inspection system is only as good as the difference it makes, and we want to make a difference," Maurice Smith, the chief inspector of schools, told a headteachers' conference in Manchester in January.
Smith was speaking after the first term of the new, shorter Ofsted inspections, which give schools little notice and rely on the self-evaluation form (SEF) as a significant part of the assessment. The two days' notice approach allowed Ofsted to inspect 2,054 schools in the autumn term of 2005 - nearly as many as in the whole of the previous school year. Yet figures released at the end of last month revealed that the number of failing primary schools increased from 123 to 140, and the total for all schools in special measures barely moved from 242 in the summer term to 243 in the autumn.
Now governors have a chance to give their opinions on the latest Ofsted initiative: proportionate inspections. Smith and his team want to "concentrate our limited inspection resources where they are most needed, and where inspection can have most impact in driving improvement".
The idea is to identify the top fifth of schools that are doing well and inspect them with "an even lighter touch".
However, schools in special measures would have their progress monitored at short notice before reinspection a year later. Those that are "satisfactory" could also be monitored to assess if they are improving in specific problem areas.
A long discussion thread running on www.ukgovernors.org.uk expresses the huge frustration many governors feel about the SEF. Heads are given a password to enable them to write the form, but are loth to pass it on to their governing body. Governors, who are supposed to participate in the creation of the SEF and have the final say on its contents, must make do with pages of print-outs, which is unworkable and hugely wasteful, as the form is supposed to be constantly updated. Governors who have approached Ofsted about being given read-only access to the document have been told there are no plans to do so. If proportionate inspections are to give even greater emphasis to the SEF, it is vital that governors' access to the document is sorted out.
· The Ofsted consultation, which runs until May 11, can be found at www.ofsted.gov.uk/pipquestionnaire. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com

Great cleanser, non drying. Skin feels clean and soft. I have minor blemish breakouts. I've tried many products to clean and treat my skin but after months of use my skin dries out and is flaky under my makeup. I've been using this cleaning system for over six months and my skin is clear and smooth. No more dry patches and fewer breakouts. I use daily - cleanser and stay clear cream and the intensive blemish serum as needed.5

We slept in a little this morning, woke up to some drizzling rain. We watched some birds in Barbara's garden through the kitchen window. Her birdbath is a popular spot.

General Tso's Chicken Recipe
It's time to face the facts, most of the menu items at my favorite restaurants are calorie bombs, concealing more fat than I even want to know. And even when I conjure the inner strength to order something lighter, the portion sizes are so huge that I have trouble figuring out how much I should and shouldn't eat. But eating healthier doesn't mean giving up all your favorite foods. Even those of us who are trying to shed a few extra pounds (definitely me) need to indulge our cravings from time to time. There's absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying your meals. The trick is to satisfy more than just your growling tummy. You need to indulge your sense of taste, smell, and sight all at the same time. Research shows that when you cater to all your senses with a single meal you'll eat less but enjoy it more.
That's what I set out to do with this dish. I wanted a lighter version of my favorite General Tso's chicken, but I didn't want to lose any of things that made this meal so enjoyable to me. The first thing I did was go heavy on the flavors – lots of fresh ginger and garlic with a sauce that is thick and rich and seriously satisfying. Then I added some snow peas for color and texture. The crunch of the snow peas tells your brain to pay attention to what you're eating. Plus, snow peas, as well as most vegetables, add vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The General Tso's chicken recipe that you'd typically find in a restaurant is deep fried in way too much oil. My version uses only two tablespoons at the most. And lastly, I chose to use brown rice over white. Brown rice is higher in protein and is brimming with Vitamin B6, Thiamin, Manganese, Selenium, and more. It's true that it takes a while for brown rice to cook, but I take a short cut here. I buy pre-cooked brown rice in the freezer section. (Rice should be the only ingredient listed.)
This chicken recipel has so many things going for it – it's quick, easy, and family friendly along with all its health benefits, and it uses easy to find, inexpensive ingredients. Whether you're trying to shape up, just trying to feed your hungry family, or stick to a budget – or like me and trying to do all three at the same time, you will love this dish.
General Tso's Chicken Recipe
serves 4
1 1/2 cups long grain brown rice
4 teaspoons cornstarch, divided
1 large egg plus 1 large egg white
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1″ pieces
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup soy sauce or Bragg's Liquid Aminos
2 Tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 1/2 cups snow peas, trimmed
2 Tablespoons canola oil, divided
Cook rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
Place 2 teaspoons cornstarch, one egg, and one egg white in a large bowl and whisk together. Add chicken and stir to coat well. Set aside.
In another medium sized bowl place water, soy sauce/Liquid Aminos, honey, and remaining cornstarch. Whisk until combined. Add ginger, garlic, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, and snow peas. Stir to coat well.
Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in a large non-stick skillet. Using a fork, transfer chicken to skillet, letting excess liquid drip back into bowl. Do not crowd the pan – you may have to do two batches. Let chicken cook until golden brown on the first side, about 3-4 minutes. Turn to other side and cook until golden brown and totally cooked through. Remove chicken and place onto a paper towel lined dish. Blot with another paper towel to remove excess oil. (If cooking a second batch, add remaining tablespoon oil to pan and repeat process).
Add snow pea mixture to skillet and stir until sauce is thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Add chicken back to pan and stir until coated with sauce. Divide rice evenly among four plates and top with equal amounts of chicken mixture.

Hi ladies
I've bought this sewing pattern below to make some winter pajamas for my older son. It suggests that flannel is a suitable fabric, but I have some concerns that this pattern is a pullover design and flannel has almost no stretch. The collar is ribbed cotton, which does stretch. I'd prefer to sew it up in flannel for the warmth, rather than a stretch cotton.
Do you think my son is going to have trouble getting this on and off?

5 days
Thursday 6th December 2012
Please telephone our office to be placed on a waiting list
For many people the most romantic season of
the year begins with the opening of Christmas Markets, characterised by candlelight and the aroma of traditional Christmas bakery, gingerbread, stollen cakes, cinnamon cookies, Gluhwein, mulled cider and other seasonal delights.Whilst many of our own towns and cities have a Christmas Market there is no substitute for the real thing, and we have found a super new hotel from which to visit some of the best markets in the Rhineland.
Your Holiday Hotel
The 4-star MARITIM HOTEL, a short walk from the historic town centre of Konigswinter, is new to Roadmark Travel. It is located on the banks of the River Rhine in the famous wine growing area.The hotel has elegant public areas, a restaurant overlooking the Rhine and a piano bar. Bedrooms are modern and comfortable with complimentary toiletries, hairdryer and satellite television.The hotel has an indoor swimming pool and sauna for your added enjoyment. There is a lift to all floors.
Day 1 (Thu) We cross to France with Eurotunnel then drive through
Belgium and on to Konigswinter, where a welcome glass of
mulled wine will be served before dinner.
Day 2 (Fri) After sampling the delicious Maritim Hotel buffet
breakfast we set off for the City of COLOGNE, some 25 miles from Konigswinter. First stop is at the LINDT CHOCOLATE MUSEUM, housed in a spectacular glass and metal building at the Rheinau harbour. Enjoy an expedition through 3000 years of chocolate history and a great view of the barges on the River. Following our visit the rest of the day is yours to explore Cologne with its magnificent twin-spired Cathedral. The Cathedral
provides an impressive backdrop for one of the four big
Christmas Markets. Around the largest Christmas tree in the Rhineland you will find over 150 wooden chalets selling a vast range of high-quality products.
Day 3 (Sat) We cross the Rhine by ferry and drive to the small wine
growing town of AHRWEILER. Surrounded by medieval town walls, with many original buildings and wine taverns in the half timbered houses. The Christmas Market here is smaller though no less attractive, and the aroma of mulled wine from local vineyards fills the air. We continue to BONN, Germany's 19th largest city. Impressive illuminated facades on Munsterplatz provide a festive backdrop for the Christmas Market. The beautiful old town hall is transformed into an enormous Advent calendar. Shops and stalls are brimming with unusual gifts with plenty of mulled wine, hot mead and chestnuts. Classical symphonies play in the background while you shop.
Day 4 (Sun) This morning spend some time exploring the picture postcard town of KONIGSWINTER at the foot of the Drachenfels Mountain. Later we shall take a scenic drive along the Rhine to KOBLENZ, where the Christmas Market is held in the picturesque Old Town. Koblenz lies at the confluence of the Rhine and Mosel and you will have time to stroll to the famous meeting point of Deutsches Eck and try out the Cable Car that connects the old town with the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress and provides super panoramic views of the two rivers (additional cost for cable car).
Day 5 (Mon) We drive back to Calais and catch the convenient shuttle
train through the Channel Tunnel before completing our
homeward journey to Sussex. A taxi will take you to your door.

Socceroos face selection conundrum
Socceroos coach Holger Osieck will keep his team guessing until match day on whether he makes team changes for his side's crucial World Cup qualifier against Jordan in Melbourne on Tuesday night.
Osieck has the luxury of a side which did the job superbly against Japan in a 1-1 draw last week, and now has regular holding midfielder Mile Jedinak and striker Alex Brosque fit again for selection.
Jedinak is the most likely candidate to return to the starting side if changes are made, despite the excellent performance of his replacement Mark Milligan against Japan.
The German only tells his players on match-day what the starting 11 will be.
Like everyone else, they are looking for clues - and Osieck was giving little away at a pre-match media conference in Melbourne on Monday.
"In football, you should never look back - the only thing you get is a sore neck," Osieck said.
"I look ahead. Jordan is a different game (to Japan). Everyone in our squad is ready to play, so it's a good situation but a tough one for me as well to make the decisions."
It would be a massive call by Osieck to bring in Jedinak despite his return to full training following the ankle injury which kept him out of the Japan match.
Jedinak has been a regular under Osieck, and provides an imposing physical presence.
But Milligan has incumbency, and local knowledge.
He plays much of his club football with A-League side Melbourne Victory at Etihad Stadium, and importantly seems to save his best football for the venue.
Meanwhile Jordan coach Adnan Hamad said his detention by authorities at Melbourne Airport for several hours on Wednesday before being allowed into the country was forgotten, and had no effect on his team's preparation.
But he was concerned at the scheduling of an AFL match at Etihad Stadium 48 hours before the World Cup qualifier.
"It should have been organised in a different way," Hamad said through an interpreter.
Socceroos skipper Lucas Neill could only shrug his shoulders when asked what effect the St Kilda-West Coast game on Sunday night might have on the playing surface, which has improved markedly in the last couple of years.
"It's always the same in Australia because we're competing with AFL and rugby league and rugby union (for stadia)," Neill said.
"We never seem to get a perfect playing surface, but that's the nature of Australia ... with shared stadia. We have to deal with it."
The Socceroos and Jordan face similar equations for World Cup qualification - win both their remaining qualifiers and be assured of a spot in Brazil next year.
Anything less will mean a nervous final game with victory needed, along with favours elsewhere.

MetroCard Balance Protection Begins October 1
Unused value on lost or stolen 30-day MetroCard Passes, purchased at MetroCard Vending Machines or MetroCard Express Machines with either a debit or credit card, will be refunded under a MetroCard balance Protection Program announced by MTA Chairman Peter S. Kalikow and MTA NYC Transit President Lawrence G. Reuter.
Customers can file a claim by calling 1-800-METROCARD customer service line, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
"This program provides our customers who rely on the 30-day MetroCard with an added benefit, protection of their unused balance if the card is lost or stolen," said Kalikow. "Unfortunately, some of our customers do lose their cards, and for that rider who does, we want to minimize the inconvenience it causes," he added.
Balance Protection will begin on October 1, and will require no pre-registration. Under the program, riders must purchase their 30-day MetroCard at one of the 1,615 MetroCard Vending Machines and 594 MetroCard Express Machines located in subway stations system wide. "Our discounted MetroCard passes allow customers the opportunity to ride more while paying less," said Reuter. "Combined with those discounts, Balance Protection will provide a sense of security to those riders who have been unwilling to purchase a monthly pass for fear of losing it."

Law schools think the Nat'l Assoc. of Legal Professionals is just being a Negative Nelly about the job market.
Today in "You Have Got To Be Shitting Me" news: Law schools have requested that NALP put out a "more positive message" about the job market. James Leipold, who directs the National Association for Legal Professionals (NALP), said that law schools and law firms are in blatant denial about the uncertain legal job market. One law school even requested that the director describe the entry-level job market as "good." Leipold, in denying the request, stated "Ah, if wishing would only make it so."

Spring is here! Time for lighter makeup and clothing shades! Here are some of my favorites for April:
NARS Contour Blush – A duo of contouring blush shades to create natural-looking dimension for the face with a lightweight luminous finish. A deeper shade enhances definition while a lighter shade illuminates the high points of the face. I tried the lightest shade (Olympia) and it was a nice little palette. I wish there were a few more shades though. I would have liked to see a lighter highlight (because I'm super pale) and a slightly warmer brown (since I have yellow undertones). Paloma is the middle shade (which looks too dark for me) and the darkest shade is Gienah.
NARS blush in Torrid – you guys know I love peachy blushes any time of the year. If you're in the peach blush love club, try NARS blush in Torrid!
Pacifica Body Wash – comes in several Springtime floral scents like French Lilac, Tahitian Gardenia, Waikiki Pikake, Hawaiian Ruby Guava, Malibu Lemon Blossom and many more!
SCOTCH Naturals have many cruelty free shades that are vegan, cruelty-free, gluten free, fragrance free, toxin free, paraben free, hypoallergenic and biodegradable.
Kiss My Face Sunscreen SPF 40 – High level SPF – eeffective, chemical-free sunscreen enriched with Hydresia oleosomes, nature's moisturizer nurtured from safflower oil. Ideal for sensitive skin and children too! Free of parabens, nanoparticles, artificical colors or fragrances, animal ingredients or testing.
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Plastic Passion Lip Tar Collection – This Spring 2014 debut adds an array of hypersaturated pastel mattes and shimmering iridescent metallic shades to the ever-expanding OCC Lip Tar range. Intensely pigmented, each Lip Tar can be used on its own or combined for an intensely fierce customized lip look. It comes in Pool Boy (aquatic blue), Rollergirl (vibrant lavender), Mannequin (Malibu pink), Kimber (neon coral), Pleasure Model (pearlescent pink), and Hollywood (beige/gold shimmer). 100% vegan and cruelty free! Look for a follow up post with swatches coming soon.
Tarte Cheek Stains – collect 'em all! Adorable packaging and colors for every skintone. Yes please!

There was uproar among professional dancers in Melbourne after they were asked to work without pay on Kylie Minogue's latest video.
Several received calls from dance schools and agents to join the 11-hour shoot for her new song I Was Gonna Cancel, produced by US musician Pharrell Williams and choreographed by Sydney Dance Company artistic director Rafael Bonachela, at Melbourne's Docklands Studios.
One agency texted dancers: "Full-day shoot for Kylie Minogue video clip, unpaid but great opportunity and fun!"
Some were then offered $100 (£55) for their work after the producers received complaints. Back-up dancers also reportedly complained they were underpaid for performing with Minogue, right, at the TV Week Logies Awards.
Bonachela has now admitted asking the dancers to work for free was "a mistake". "It's great to know that people can have a voice, he said.
Minogue's label, Warner Music Australia, agreed to pay the correct rates to dancers involved in the shoot.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Last week Diane noted that Amnesty International was set to release evidence proving the CIA used private aircraft operators and front companies to hide its rendition flights. The report is now public, and it gives numerous firsthand accounts from individuals who were flown on nearly 1,000 flights directly linked to the CIA and taken to "black sites" where they were extensively tortured and detained in "complete isolation, in cells measuring about 2m x 3m," and "permanently shackled to a ring fixed in the floor."
According to one account, prisoners were transported somewhere in Eastern Europe, where "all of the guards and officials were Americans" and "the men were never allowed outside, or even to look through a window," while "temperatures were colder than any they had ever known."
According to Condoleeza Rice, "The United States has not transported anyone, and will not transport anyone, to a country when we believe he will be tortured." But she says nothing about potential transport to "blacksites" or renditions conducted by other governments. To this she states, "where appropriate, the United States seeks assurances that transferred persons will not be tortured." But as Amnesty International points out, "if the practice of torture and ill-treatment in custody is so great that the USA must seek assurances that the receiving state will not behave as it normally does, then the risk is obviously too great to permit the transfer."
Swiss authorities have already confirmed Amnesty's report that six CIA flights landed in Switzerland. Dick Marty, the Swiss senator investigating allegations of secret CIA prisons on behalf of the Council of Europe, welcomed the report. "Interestingly the research was done by civil society and not by the government," he noted. Interesting indeed.

New York, New York!!
Trip Start Nov 01, 2012
23Trip End Nov 28, 2012
Map your own trip!

Show trip route
Hide lines
I headed out just after 7 this morning. Only coz I didn't really sleep much and rather than waste any more time, I got ready and headed due south. I had studied the map last night so I had a pretty good idea of which direction I was heading in. Make a right out the hotel, walk about 50 yards and you're bang in the centre of Times Square. It looked so different last night with the bright lights and millions of people. Whilst the vibe was great, stepping off the Greyhound into that was a complete culture shock. This morning's leisurely, no pressure stroll was perfect. I was dying for a Starbucks vanilla latte but I decided I'd get that as a reward to myself after finding and going up the Empire State Building
Then it was Starbucks time. I'd earned it! So I grabbed my latte and went around the corner in search of a city tour. I found one where my ticket is valid for 48 hours and includes the Downtown Loop, the Uptown Loop, a Brooklyn Tour and a night time tour. I'm not sure 48 hours is even enough with all the hop off opportunities en route. So starting off on the downtown tour, I hopped off at the World Trade Centre stop. Geez, was this an emotional experience!! Someone had mentioned to me before that the memorial site was a bit disappointing - I didn't think so at all. I thought it was a very humbling experience and that the enormity of that fateful day, that clearly affected the whole world, is beautifully captivated in this memorial site. The pictures give more detail
Then I walked down to Battery Park and thanks to a tip from one of my colleagues (Thanks Vihann) I boarded the Staten Island Ferry which is free. Unfortunately the Statue of Liberty and Liberty Island is closed because of Hurricane Sandy, but we did sail past her to Staten Island and back.
Then I decided to walk up to the Financial District (Wall Street) - it seemed close enough on the map. But the wind coming off the sea and blowing up the street made me even colder than yesterday - and I had 4 layers on. A lot of the businesses and buildings along the South Street Seaport side are empty and badly water damaged from Sandy. She really wreaked havoc in New York. Also one of the big problems was that most businesses, including the hospitals, have their power sources in the basement of their buildings. So when the 13 meter storm swells came in, the sea water sorted them out. There are massive mop up procedures underway at the moment.
Anyway... I got to Wall Street and realized I had braved the elements just to see a bull? Seriously! And that was also the last picture I was able to take before my phone signaled no more storage
And I sat in there for more than 45 minutes trying to back up my phone and each time, the back up failed to complete. Plan B - delete some apps - which I did and I was good to go. Back in the bus, when it came, and then drove through Chinatown (told you every town has one), Little Italy, the East Village, past the United Nations and off again at Rockefeller Centre. I shmoozed around the shops there, watched a bit of ice skating and watched them sort the lights out on the Christmas tree. The lights will be turned on in the next couple of weeks and I'm sure that is going to be spectacular.
Then I made my way down to Central Park but it was getting a bit late. Nevertheless I checked out the horse drawn carriage rides - $50 for a short ride!! Then one of those bicycle guys came to try and get me to ride with him for a special price of $130 and I can get off twice
Till tomorrow...

I'm considering buying the ridgid planer.I see it comes with a stand. Is there an easy way to make this stand mobile? I have very little space to work in my garage, so all my tools must have a mobile base. This question also applies to the ridgid jointer. Thanks!
No announcement yet.
ridgid planer
new posts
Re: ridgid planer
I believe both can be retrofitted with the Herculift system, which is an optional accessory. I just purchased the thickness planer and jointer and am looking for the same solution. Hopefully, others will post confirming this and/or what they've done for these tools.
Re: ridgid planer
The Herc-U-Lift Plus would be an excellant add-on to this planer and I recall that instructions were provided for such, with the Herc-U-Lift installation manual.
Unfortunately, I believe that the Herc-U-Lift Plus is not currently available. Within the last three or four years, this excellent mobile system had been on and off shelves of Home Depot, with it's latest removal taking place last summer ('06). Who knows if it will be brought back again.
Re: ridgid planer
I have both my bandsaw and planer on a universal mobile base system from Woodcraft. You just add 3/4" plywood or MDF.
There are definitely better mobile bases out there, but not for $60, IMO. I would not recommend this base unit for a jointer or anything else where you are putting directional pressure on it, as the fixed wheels don't lock. Since the planer is self-fed it's no problem.
You could solve this issue very easily and make this base rock solid by drilling and tapping some bolt holes in the fixed-wheel housing and use bolts to secure the wheels from rolling. My Powermatic mobile base has this setUp and it doesn't move a bit when I'm using the jointer... which is why I got that base for that machine.
The nice thing with these Woodcraft units is that if you ever decide to place a machine in a permanent spot, you can reuse this kit for any other size machine, just by replacing the plywood.
Re: ridgid planer
I used this one one my joiner and it works great.

Re: ridgid planer
I use the same base on my Ridgid Jointer at TOD does. The Ridgid Herculift system does not fit the jointer. Although there was a thread a while back from a gentleman who did do some modifications to the jointer and Herculift Plus system to make they work together. Probably more work than I would go through as the Delta works just fine for me. The Herculif Plus does fit the planer stand fine and that is what I use on mine. All kind of a moot point though as others have pointed out Ridgid doesn't seem to be selling the Herculift Plus at this time for whatever reason(s). I actually don't really care for the stand on my Ridgid planer, although that could easily be my fault and probably just needs a little TLC from me since it may not be all right after my move last year and I just haven't gotten the time yet to check it all back out. I believe at least one other person (and possibly more) have also mounted the planer on the Ridgid MSUV and like that setup as well.Still enjoying all 10 fingers!

Re: ridgid planer
I just got a Dewalt 735 and i am very impressed. There are some complaints about blade life but im not too worried about that. it is more than the ridgid but it is more portable if you lack space (i do). I got it for a steal. here is how:
Price $550
Lowes 10% coupon (Home depot honors lowes coupons)
Home depot 10% off for signing up for HD credit card
$60 rebate from dewalt.
comes out to a good deal.
Re: ridgid planer
I have Delta's 580 2 speed planer. Got it for only $229 at lowes plus they honored a home depot 10% off coupon on top of it. The ridgid planer,however,is highly rated.You can never have enough drills-too many is just enough!!!!!

Looking to take advantage of Facebook Graph Search, the social network's new and improved internal search engine when it fully launches? Facebook has shared a few basic tips on how you can improve the visibility of your Facebook Page when users conduct searches.
In addition to making sure your Page is complete and up to date, optimizing the following areas will help aid discovery of your business via Graph Search, according to a Facebook Studio blog post:
- The name, category, vanity URL, and information you share in the "About" section all help people find your business and should be shared on Facebook.
- If you have a location or a local place Page, update your address to make sure you can appear as a result when someone is searching for a specific location.
- Focus on attracting the right fans to your Page and on giving your fans a reason to interact with your content on an ongoing basis.
The Graph Search algorithm will serve results based on several "features" – things such as connections, Likes, check-ins, and every other piece of data Facebook has collected about your business.
Facebook also provides users with the ability to refine searches with filters including Place type, category, name, Likes, location, and connections who have visited.
Below are some additional posts that will help increase your visibility on Facebook.

So it was my birthday a few days ago, and now those celebrations have finished I'm starting to get prepared for Christmas!
Month: November 2012
The Perfect Shoe This Christmas
So I was wondering if anyone has their Christmas party booked yet? Being the huge shoe lover that I am I couldn't help notice these beautiful red patent wedge court shoes on the Shoe Zone website. They look really festive and could take your outfit from the office to after-work drinks in a flash! I'm always a fan of a wedge heel as well – that little bit of extra support means extra time to witness Christmas party gossip in the making!

The Lake County Bar Association is embarking on a program to demystify the business of lawyers in the eyes of the public.
"The People's Law School," set for four consecutive Tuesdays beginning Feb. 10, will not prepare you to hang out your own shingle but rather is designed to help you better understand how the law functions.
Bryan Winter, the LCBA president, said the concept for the school came from the association's goal of getting closer to the people lawyers serve.
"We are always looking for a way to interact with the public, and the school seemed like a good way to do that," Winter said. "People are often frustrated because they haven't had any experience with the process and do not understand why things happen as they do."
The classes, which will be held in Auditorium C005 at the College of Lake County in Grayslake, are broken two 45-minute segments each week.
Up to 15 lawyers and several judges will present information on various aspects of the law that are most likely to impact on the lives of average citizens, Winter said.
The Feb. 10 sessions will feature a general overview of the legal system, followed by a discussion of consumer law and identity protection.
The Feb. 17 classes will cover criminal and traffic law and employment and workplace law.
Family law and personal injury and workers' compensation law will be discussed Feb. 24, and the course will wrap up March 3 with information on real estate law and wills, trusts and estate planning.
Course materials will be provided. Winter said general questions will be invited from attendees, but no legal advice on specific cases will be given.
"We will be dispensing general information and directing people to our Lawyer Referral Service for specific situations," Winter said.
The aim is to increase understanding, he explained.
"We want to demonstrate to people that, because of the finality of the decisions that have to be reached, there are complex rules and procedures that have to be followed," he said.
The classes, which will run from 7 to 8:45 p.m. with a 30-minute break between segments, are free.
Registration, which closes Feb. 6, is available at the bar association's Web site at www.LakeBar.org or by calling (847) 244-3143.
Winter said people can sign up for individual segments, but attendance at all four sessions is encouraged.

Kushiel's Scion (Kushiel's Legacy) (edition 2007)
by Jacqueline Carey
Work details
Kushiel's Scion by Jacqueline Carey
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Note: While this is Book 4 in Kushiel's Legacy (also referred to as the Terre D'Ange Cycle) it is Book 1 in the second trilogy and focuses on Imriel de la Courcel, who we met in Book 3, Kushiel's Avatar. Kushiel's Scion can be read on it's own.
Set in an alternate history mixed with a bit of fantasy, Imriel de la Courcel, who we met in the first trilogy, is growing up and he's muddling his way through it. Certain things that come easy to his friends (like flirting) are difficult for him. It's a long road full of blunders, missteps, and embarrassing moments. But there are also these gems of self-realization, beauty, and love. His teen years are full of various experiments, like him working alongside the Montreve folks to clear a new paddock, his early friendship with Eamonn mac Grainne, and his first visit to the Court of Night Blooming Flowers. This book is really the story of how Imriel becomes a man.
Eamonn goes off to Tiberium in Caerdicca Unitas to learn at the great universities and Imri follows soon enough. Both Phedre (Imri's adopted mother) and Imri are curious if Phedre's mentor Anafiel Delaunay learned the arts of covertcy in Tiberium when he was a young man. Imri makes it one of his goals to find out. He finds so much more than he expected, including himself. Living through Master Piero's lessons, a riot, a siege, a wedding, the loss of a friend, Imri comes out of it wiser and more patient with himself and those around him.
Each of the first three books had distinct plots that arose early in the story. The second trilogy is a bit slower paced and I think of it as a plot that extends over all three books, taking longer to show itself. So, what was the main thread for this book? It was Imri learning how to be a man, but also what kind of man he wants to be. He spends much of his inner monologue worried over 1) whether he can be a good man and 2) whether he will choose to do so. He has this darker side, one that is prone to moodiness, anti-social behavior, brooding, and darker desires in the bedroom. Whereas the first trilogy has a distinct goal and hence plot for each book, this story is more subtle and takes more patience to pick out the main threads. Certain parts of the tale do tend to linger a bit overmuch (such as the teen angst that Imri goes through).
Then we all the good stuff. Melisande, Imri's biological mother and a traitor to the kingdom of Terre D'Ange, still has a pinky in the mix. Imri becomes entangled in a torrid affair that brings him closer to the answer of who taught Anafiel such interesting skills. So much subtle intrigue! The siege is also interesting because it involves the ghosts of the city as well as the living. I won't spoil this, but I found this to be the most interesting part of the book. Imri learns so much about love and friendship in it's many shades in this tale.
As with the first trilogy, this book does have detailed sex scenes. They are hot and steamy, the author not flinching away from including both emotion and action in her descriptions. She's a master at keeping them in context and using such scenes to either move the plot along or show you depths in her characters. Some of the scenes are a bit more robust than others, but most of them are sweet in nature.
I think I will always enjoy the first trilogy the most because it introduced me to this wonderful world. However, it was great to revisit Imriel's tale once again, this time as part of a on-line group read. Nuances that I had missed reading on my own were brought up in the numerous discussions. This book definitely has stood up to scrutiny.
The Narration: Simon Vance gives a great performance as the voice of Imriel. He has that smooth cadence that is perfect for Imriel's brooding thoughts or his well chosen words. I loved his accent for Eamonn and his Italian accents for the people of Caerdicca Unitas. All his characters were distinct and he had more than one female voice. He sounded very comfortable with the sex scenes.
Good. Not as good as the previous trilogy. I think I just don't like Imriel.
Jacqueline Carey is a great author of realistic fantasy, and I adore her. Kushiel's Scion is the beginning of Imriel's trilogy, and it's distinctly different from Phedre's story. However, it's still a rich and lush adventure of a very likeable young man. Highly recommended.
This book is the start of Imriel's trilogy. While I like it, it's not as good as Phedre's books. There is action and the author tortures the characters as usual but it's just not as all consuming as Phedre's books. I am re-reading these so I don't have a ton to say other than this entire series rocks.
I really enjoyed the world the author created and I was thrilled to find that she's continued to write about it. As some of the other reviewers commented, I also ended up caring about Imriel as much as I did about Phèdre in the first trilogy.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 044661002X, Mass Market Paperback)Imriel de la Courcel's birth parents are history's most reviled traitors, but his adoptive parents, the Comtesse Phedre and the warrior-priest Joscelin, are Terre d'Ange's greatest champions. Stolen, tortured and enslaved as a young boy, Imriel is now a Prince of the Blood; third in line for the throne in a land that revels in art, beauty and desire. It is a court steeped in deeply laid conspiracies...and there are many who would see the young prince dead. Some despise him out of hatred for his mother, Melisande, who nearly destroyed the entire realm in her quest for power. Others because they fear he has inherited his mother's irresistible allure...and her dangerous gifts. As he comes of age, plagued by unwanted desires, Imriel shares their fears. When a simple act of friendship traps Imriel in a besieged city where the infamous Melisande is worshiped as a goddess and where a dead man leads an army, the Prince must face his greatest test: to find his true self.

I'm glad a lot of people love this collection, it took quite a while to find these great designs, it's a collection I've been building for over 3 months and I've whittled it down to just 25 (for now).
@DDR: Wonderful work, especially for your first time, keep it up!
@GPirie: Trust me, we've all been there. As a Photoshop alternative, try out GIMP (you've probably heard of it before) – it's a pretty capable as a replacement for Photoshop. I've been experimenting with GIMP (for fun mostly) on and off for about 5 months and I have to say that it's awesome.
mr. diggles Jul 03 2008
i made the mo' effin' list!!!1
thanks guys! WP has really made something special and i continue to promote it as much as possible. i try to speak of it as a CMS rather than a blog platform.
thank you again.

The Chemical Catalysis Program supports experimental and theoretical research directed towards the fundamental understanding of the chemistry of catalytic processes at the molecular level. The Program accepts proposals on catalytic approaches, which facilitate, direct, and accelerate efficient chemical transformations. This includes the design and synthesis of catalytic species on the molecular, supramolecular, and nanometer scales as well as studies of the dynamics of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic processes. Processes of interest include (but are not limited to): polymerization catalysis, single site catalysis, and biologically-inspired catalysis. Applications of modeling, theory, and simulation to catalytic processes are also relevant. Fundamental studies of energy-related catalytic processes, CO2 conversion, electrocatalysis (such as in water splitting and fuel cells), and photocatalysis (such as in solar energy conversion) are welcome in the program.
Submissions that address national needs for sustainability are particularly encouraged. Examples of sustainable chemistry appropriate for the Chemical Catalysis Program include: 1) the design, preparation and reactivity studies associated with new catalysts and catalytic processes that will replace rare, expensive and/or toxic compounds or nanomaterials with earth abundant, inexpensive and benign alternatives; 2) new chemistries to economically recycle chemicals that cannot be replaced, such as phosphorus and the rare earth elements; 3) new chemistries to convert non-petroleum based sources of organics to feedstock chemicals; and 4) new environmentally-friendly chemical reactions and processes that require less energy, fresh water, and/or organic solvents than current practice.
Investigators are urged to read more about NSF efforts in encouraging sustainable synthesis, and the use and reuse of chemicals and materials in the Dear Colleague Letter on SusChEM: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2012/nsf12097/nsf12097.jsp?WT.mc_id=USNSF_25&WT.mc_ev=click."
Submissions that address the role of catalysis in the chemistry of nitrogen, phosphorous, and water in the nexus of food, energy and water systems, are particularly encouraged. Advanced catalytic methods for the reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia and that will permit reductions in the energy requirements for fertilizer production are of great interest.
The Program does not support applied catalysis research that focuses on scale-up, processing, transport dynamics, long-term stability and other engineering aspects of catalysis. The Program also does not support biocatalysis research with purely biological enzymes and cellular systems. Catalytic research whose immediate objectives are the synthesis of complex natural products using established catalysts should be submitted to the Chemical Synthesis program.

With a deep sense of despair, day labourer Sattar Matabbar along with his family members sits in front of a slum in Patuakhali town. A gang grabbed his homestead at Rajnagar village in Baufal upazila of the district on Wednesday. Photo: Star
Land grabbers took away a piece of land of a day labourer at Rajnagar village in Baufal upazila on Wednesday.
Claiming the ownership of the land, a group led by Alauddin Shikder, 40, Russel, 20, and Shahid, 28, vandalised the house of day labourer Sattar Matabbar on the land and forced him and his family members to leave the area.
Locals said Alauddin and his accomplices illegally occupied 0.59 acres of land belonging to Sattar Matabbar on Wednesday morning and then erected a structure on it (land).
Sattar, who along with his family took shelter at a slum in the district town on Wednesday, filed a complaint with the superintendent of police (SP) the following day. He also lodged a case with the Speedy Trial Tribunal of Patuakhali the same day, accusing Alauddin and eight others.
Talking to this correspondent yesterday, Sattar said he bought the land from a villager on January 11, 1966 and had been living in a tin-shed house on the land since 1995.
"Recently, Alauddin, Russel and Shahid claimed the ownership of the land and asked me to leave it," he said.
On receiving the complaint, the SP asked the officer in-charge of Baufal police station to take necessary action after proper investigation.
Contacted, Alauddin said they are the real owners of the land. But he refused to show any document in this regard.

Researchers at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) and the Department of Horticulture in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Virginia Tech have developed a new procedure for the efficient transfer of specific DNA sequences into the genome of strawberry. The scientists have used Agrobacterium tumefaciens, nature's genetic engineer, to introduce DNA into the woodland or alpine strawberry Fragaria vesca.
The method takes advantage of Agrobacterium's circular DNA molecule (T-DNA) to deliver DNA to the plant. By helping researchers establish the function of large numbers of strawberry genes, this method could, in the long term, be extremely useful in enhancing the nutritional value of these plants as well as the amount of health-enhancing antioxidants that they may contain.
Jerzy Nowak, professor and head of the Department of Horticulture at Virginia Tech, commented: "Over the years, scientists have worked hard to find a system that would enable the efficient transformation of strawberry. However, these efforts have fallen short of the requirements to support large-scale studies of gene function in fruit crops." He added: "What sets this work apart is the concerted approach adopted by the researchers to combine different parameters that boost the efficiency by which foreign DNA is introduced into this economically important crop."
Herb S. Aldwinckle, professor in the Department of Plant Pathology at Cornell University, Geneva, New York, who has developed highly efficient techniques for transforming apple, remarked: "The commercial strawberry familiar to most consumers is octoploid, which means that it contains eight sets of chromosomes. By using a close relative that has two sets of chromosomes and a significantly smaller genome, the researchers have found a particular type of alpine strawberry that is very amenable to transformation." He added: "The transformation rate achieved is the result of innovation and great attention to experimental detail."
Due to the small size of its genome, short reproductive cycle and small plant size, F. vesca is an ideal model system for genomics in commercial strawberry. The rapid growth of new shoots, the high number of seeds generated and the ease in which new plants may be established, make this plant an ideal candidate as a platform for large-scale studies to elucidate gene function.
The new protocol involves taking strawberry plant tissue from its original site and transferring it to an artificial medium for growth or maintenance. Here unfolded leaves, known as trifoliate leaves, are able to grow. When collected at 6-7 weeks after seed germination, these leaves are highly amenable to gene transfer using A. tumefaciens. Since they glow green under fluorescent light due to the presence of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), transformed strawberry plants may be easily identified by visual inspection. This is the first time that GFP has been used in strawberry as a visually selectable marker.
Commenting on the research, VBI Professor Vladimir Shulaev, one of the authors of the study, remarked: "The development of this protocol for strawberry represents a key milestone for researchers interested in improving strawberry and other fruit crops through genomics." He added: "We are now in a position to generate a collection of mutants that will serve as an invaluable tool not only for discovering new genes in the Rosaceae family but also for establishing the functions of these genes through high-throughput screening methods."
The article is entitled "High-efficiency transformation of the diploid strawberry (Fragaria vesca) for functional genomics" (Planta, 2005, Dec 1:1-12)
The work was funded by a Virginia Tech ASPIRES grant (A Support Program for Innovative Research Strategies).

Merry F#%$in' Christmas is a 2004 comedy album released by actor and comedian Denis Leary. It runs for twenty minutes and includes unreleased sessions recorded for his 1997 album Lock 'n Load and two tracks previously released on that album ("Deaf Mute Cocktail Party" and "Insane Cowboy (In Africa)").
Since the holiday season of 2005, Comedy Central has periodically aired Denis Leary's Merry F#%$in' Christmas, an hour-long (with commercials) Christmas special featuring Leary and several celebrity guests, including Charlie Murphy, Carmen Electra, William Shatner, and the Barenaked Ladies. The song "Merry F#%$in' Christmas" is the title theme of the special, set to a parody of Rankin/Bass' signature "Animagic" stop-motion animation; no other tracks from the album appear in the special (though the cast performs a new live version of the title theme).
Track listing[edit]
- Merry F#%$in' Christmas (Studio)
- Fat Guy On the Plane
- Deaf Mute Cocktail Party
- Jack Goes to School
- Insane Cowboy (In Africa)

The Philosophy Department is pleased to announce that Brian Besong, a visiting assistant professor of philosophy at IUP, will give a talk entitled "Being Appropriately Disgusted" on Thursday, October 24, 2013, at 5:00 p.m. in Eberly 121.
Recent psychological research suggests that feelings of disgust play interesting roles in the formation of moral beliefs and in moral motivation. Yet, given the evolutionary history of disgust, it is legitimate to wonder whether these roles are justified. In this talk, I'll sketch a positive account that accords disgust some appropriate role to play in ethics. In order to motivate my position, I'll first consider and then reject Dan Kelly's recent philosophical work on disgust, arguing that the positions he takes against the propriety of disgust's role in ethics are problematic and should be abandoned in favor of the more moderate position I lay out.

Guidelines for contributors
"Post Peak Medicine" is a downloadable e-book which is being written by and for healthcare professionals. The intention behind the book is that it will help practitioners to make the transition to post-peak practices during what may be turbulent times ahead.
I have written Part 1: Framework and Background but I am looking for specialists in their field to write individual chapters in Part 2: Specialties. Your contribution, should you decide to make it, will be valuable both to your professional colleagues and the public. Here are some suggested guidelines for contributors which I hope you will find helpful.
You must have a recognised qualification within your healthcare specialty.
All contributions must be attributable to a named author(s). However, I recognise that the subject of possible societal decline and collapse is a controversial one, and that some potential contributors may agree with the general principles of the book but may be reluctant to associate their names with it. You therefore have the option of having your name displayed as an image rather than text. This makes your name invisible to Google and other search engines. The result of this will be that people will discover the book if they are using search terms like "post peak" but they are very unlikely to discover the book if they are a prospective employer or business partner googling your name for a background check.
Each chapter need only be a few pages long, and should be about the challenges you foresee in adapting to post peak practice and how those challenges might be overcome. Don't try to write a detailed textbook about your specialty, but where detail is needed, please provide links and/or references to sources of information you consider helpful. Hyperlinks may be included in your text, but please bear in mind that people reading this book in the future may not be connected to the Internet, so please include a text description of your information sources as well. If you find it difficult to imagine what your specialty will be like post-peak, it may be helpful to put it in a historical context: for example, what methods did your specialty use fifty or a hundred years ago?
Pictures and illustrations are welcome, but please ensure that you hold the copyright, or that you have obtained permission to use them, or that they are copyright-free.
Thank you for your interest in contributing to this book. For further information please contact:PeakDoc (at) postpeakmedicine.com

Numerical Derivatives
Good day,
I was thinking that somewhere I have seen a reference to a package that
gives Mahematica the ability to perform numerical differentiation.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may know the whereabouts of
such a package.
Thank you.

Gig Alerts: Fanshaw
"Strong Hips"
Playing at: Zebulon (258 Wythe Ave., Williamsburg)
Get: Tickets FREE | Directions
Fanshaw is both the nom de plume of singer-songwriter Olivia Fetherstonhaugh and the name of her Vancouver-based trio. Fetherstonhaugh and bandmates Larrisa Loyva and Shane Turner are also members of the Choir Practice collective, but the music they make as Fanshaw occupies a more haunting space. Fanshaw's new album Dark Eyes is full of melancholy character studies set against a background of ghostly melodies. On this beautifully forlorn track about intimacy, Fetherstonhaugh's ethereal vocals are rounded out by troubled guitar and shadowy piano.
