I made 21 quilts between Jan and June but please don't ask me to name them because I don't remember.
I finished a 12 year old UFO and made a pinwheel baby quilt, then I moved. After I got my sewing room unwrecked I made an applique wall hanging, and finished the binding on another wall hanging. Right now I'm finishing up the quilting on a lap size throw and I have another one ready to quilt as soon as I'm done with the first one. Then I have two queen size quilts to quilt.
I haven't done much!

Four baby quilts
8 blocks for Just One Star
BOM of Sylvia's Bridal Sampler
I finally started working on Spangled Cabins a couple of weeks ago, a 62x62 lap quilt. I've had the pattern & been collecting reds, whites, blues for a couple of years, but other quilts had priority. Will probably have that done in a couple of weeks.
I'm waiting to receive a kit from Operation Kid Comfort & I think when that's done, I'll get pictures for at least one other one. I'll use the reds, whites, blues left over from Spangled Cabins for that.
I have 2 kits for lap quilts & 2 UFOs.
I think that's enough to keep me busy for the rest of the year & well into next year. :lol:

(NEW YORK) — First, there was a taco shell made from a Doritos chip. Now, there are Doritos chips designed to taste like a Taco Bell taco.
The company chose to make the announcement for their new chips via Twitter: "Doritos Locos Tacos will become chips 4/8! Your chance to win a #DoritosPallet: tell us how bold you'd go to try them."
Two flavors of chips will be available. One with nacho cheese and crunchy taco; another has cool ranch and crunchy taco.
The chips will be available nationwide for a limited time.

There is rarely a good reason to remain on a standard variable rate (SVR) as we are in one of the most competitive mortgage markets in the world.
There will almost certainly be a re-mortgage deal to a new lender with no legal or valuation fees and possibly no arrangement fees either. Obviously the size of your mortgage will dictate if it is worth paying arrangement fees or booking fees to switch lender, but generally from an SVR you will be better off switching lenders.
Is it not worth a chat with a broker to investigate your options and stop you paying too much for your mortgage?

ECHO – Growing Massive Amounts of Food the Fast Way
As our country faces economic collapse, we search for more efficient and economical ways to feed our family and livestock. Moving to our off-grid homestead has been a major learning experience as we look to become more sustainable and less dependent on the fragile food transport system. We are also increasingly concerned about the growing levels of toxins in purchased foods as GMO farming monopolizes our food sources.
Some countries, like Cuba, have learned from necessity how to grow their own food abundantly and healthfully. We can learn much from them. But there are opportunities to see it demonstrated first-hand without leaving the country. One way is to visit ECHO (Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization) in southwest Florida, dedicated to honoring God through providing sustainable hunger solutions to the world's poor. We may not be considered poor (yet), but we can certainly benefit from what they teach about sustainable agricultural practices in other countries.
Last week we took a field trip to Ft. Myers and visited the Global Farm at ECHO. What an enlightening experience! We also took their Appropriate Technology tour which demonstrates simple technologies made from local or recycled materials that we could learn to make ourselves, such as a PVC water pump, simple rocket stove, homemade solar dehydrator, sand water filtration system, and more. But that is for another post! Now I will attempt to share a bit about their global farm.
Our first stop on the tour was the fish and duck pond, fenced in to keep the ducks in and predators out. A duck house was built over the water so the duck droppings fall into the water to feed the vegetation, which feeds the talapia. The ducks go into the house to eat, drink, lay eggs, and roost at night. The droppings are swept out of holes in the floor.
Next were the rice paddies. They are experimenting and training students to grow rice using the SRI method (System of Rice Intensification) which increases productivity of rice over traditional methods. They are using several methods and comparing the results.
Of great interest to us were the raised rows of perennial fodder crops (mostly trees and shrubs) to feed their goats, chickens, and rabbits. In return the livestock provide meat, milk, eggs, and manure fertilizer for the garden. The fodder crops used are usually fast growing, nutrient dense, and easy to grow. They are grown on wide raised rows and pruned to a height for easy regular harvesting. Our favorites were moringa, mulberry, chaya, leucaena, and comfrey.
Moringa trees deserve a post all their own, as we have been growing two since last fall and are already reaping benefits. Its leaves are a green super food, containing seven times the vitamin C of oranges, and twice the protein in milk. It is very fast growing, but can be maintained at a manageable height. We recently planted seeds in pots. Now I can't wait to plant them out.
We have a small mulberry tree in a pot, waiting to be planted near the chicken yard so the chickens can eat the berries that drop. But at ECHO we saw how to plant a hedge of mulberry trees (bushes) and harvest the new growth regularly as fodder for the livestock.
Chaya is another very productive bushy tree also called the spinach tree. Its leaves can be cooked and eaten like spinach. Raw they are toxic to humans but not to livestock.
Leucaena is a nitrogen fixing legume that makes excellent livestock fodder. A reader of this blog kindly sent me some seeds (thanks, Kathy!), and I hope to plant them this week!
I knew comfrey as a bone-knitting herb that heals wounds and injuries quickly, but didn't know it was also beneficial as animal feed. I have seeds for this as well, but am taking my time to plan where it should grow permanently as it is nearly impossible to eradicate from an area once established.
There were other perennials we brought home (or we already had) because they produce salad greens or other edibles year round, year after year, especially in a warm climate like ours. Here is a list of them:
Cranberry Hibiscus – A burgundy-colored bush with fruity-tasting tender shoots and leaves. Our tour guide invited us to try it, and the children had a hard time stopping. Farmer Boy (seven yrs old) especially took a liking to it. It also grows pretty edible flowers.
Katuk – A shrub whose leaves, flowers, and small fruits are tasty in a salad or cooked. The flavor reminds us of peas or almonds.
Edible Hibiscus – This fast growing bush grows tall and produces large leaves used like lettuce, large enough to cover a piece of bread in a sandwich.
Sweet Potato – We brought home two of their varieties, and can't wait to see how they produce.
Barbados (Acerola) Cherry – Grows little tangy and mildly sweet fruits that contain an adult daily dose of vitamin C in each berry. Imagine growing our own vitamin C "pills!"
Malabar Spinach (red) – A fast growing and productive succulent vine. Not a true spinach, its pretty red and green leaves have a mild flavor.
Okinawa "Purple" Spinach – Also not a real spinach but a pretty purple and green plant tasting much like it (I think it's better). We've had this growing in a protected area of our backyard since last fall, and it is an attractive and meaty addition to salads.
Perennials take less time and work than annual vegetables, and often they contain more nutrients. On our new homestead we're focusing first on getting these longer lasting and higher producing plants established in our edible landscaping, after which we will turn our attention to the annuals. As time goes on I hope to report on how well these plants produce for our family.
In another post I will share some alternative methods of gardening and irrigating demonstrated at ECHO.

Very interesting post, cant wait to see what else you learned there! I bet this was an excellent learning trip for your children. The duck house idea is very smart, thanks for sharing.
Chaya is actually used in the Yucatan Peninsula as a medicinal plant. Additionally, they make a drink out of it which is quite refreshing, I love it. You can find out more about it if you google Chaya drink.
Looks like an interesting tour. I like the idea of the duck house; very clever idea! I've also grown Malabar spinach and it tastes pretty good. Because it's a vine it grew like crazy and knocked over the trellis we had it on…this was in good garden soil. We had way more than what we needed too. Another great summer green is New Zealand spinach. We planted it once but it reseeds and we get it every year. Thanks for your post!
My chickens won't eat the fallen mulberries. Do I need to pen one up and let her sit hungry until she'll eat a mulberry, then let her teach the others to eat them?
Thanks for linking up at the Creative HomeAcre hop. Good to know it was such an enlightening visit. I got a real sense of hope, when I read about the ECHO project. Hope to see you again at http://mumtopia.blogspot.com/2013/05/creative-home-acre-hop-co-hosting-2.html
I just love the ECHO organization! I have bought seeds from them for years, but two years ago I was able to tag along on a business trip my husband had to take to Naples and persuaded him to take me on a tour of the ECHO farm in Ft. Myers. Like you, I loved the duck house and tilapia pond. I raise rabbits and I wasn't aware that moringa was a good food for them. I will have to start some seeds this year and try it. I do grow comfrey and have not found it to be too invasive in the garden up here in N. Fla., but I have read conflicting reports on whether it is good for livestock or not. Every once in a while I do give some to the rabbits in the spring, but I primarily use it for my own herbal poultices. Thanks again for an interesting post.
Hi Rose Petal,
I was wondering what you guys do for phone or internet while living off the grid? We currently live in the city and have internet and satellite tv, we use the internet for our phone service. We gave up cell phones years ago, and haven't missed them since.
Now with our upcoming move off the grid, we are trying to decide what to do. We really would love to give up tv, and internet. But that would mean we would have to get a cell phone… And I just HATE cell phones. I wish there was some way to have a home phone without all the other stuff (tv and computer) but where we will be this wont be an option.
Just curious what your family does, for these services.
This is fascinating. I love what they have done with the duck house. We've really enjoyed growing and eating malabar spinach in our own garden. So nice to have those greens through the summer when it gets too hot for lettuces. Thank you for linking this up to the HomeAcre Hop! Look forward to having you back tomorrow: http://blackfoxhomestead.com/the-homeacre-hop/
What an interesting post! Thanks for sharing!
What a wonderful resource and well of knowledge. I really liked the duck house design.
Thanks for sharing!
Please join us again Thursday at:

What an inspiring place and a wealth of information!
Great information!! Thanks for linking up at Wildcrafting Wednesday!
Growing a lot of food… always interesting. Last year I bought a book 'How to Grow More Vegetables'. Interesting, but to me disappointing. Not because the book wasn't good, but because most of it I learned already from my mom! That shows you: if you want to learn about growing food, don't forget the so called old fashioned people in your area. They have a store of knowledge which formed from generations of experience!
[...] most popular gardening post was from the The Live Ready Now Blog. We get to go on a virtual tour of ECHO in South Florida and learn a lot about sustainable [...]
what an informative post! I want to learn more about edible lanscaping. For now I am saying "my Dandilion patch is part of my food storage". I would like to have some real edible plants besides danelions growing in my yard. I wish more people would be aware of these things. Thanks for helping raise awareness to the fact that there is more than one way to farm.

Summer used to be the season of infidelity in Italy. While their families were off on vacation, many men would stay in the city and enjoy their mistresses guilt free. Now, with the European Union enforcing strict measures as a result of the economic crisis, affairs are no longer so simple to maintain. Justifying funds spent on mysterious gifts and business trips has become tricky now that more women work, stay in the city and manage their household budgets than did so before. To add insult to injury, Italians now have to pay property taxes on a second home, making it difficult to keep a bachelor pad on the side. One man told a reporter that the new tax burden "really messed up my romantic life." The Daily Beast offers a few statistics on the topic:
According to the World Atlas of Sex, a survey published last month in France (inevitably), Italians are the most unfaithful people in the world, followed (closely) by the French and the Spanish—the U.S. ranks 17th—though the survey, which is based on admissions of adultery, may be skewed by Southern European bluster.
Reliable statistics based on self-reporting are, of course, hard to come by, given the inherent secrecy and deceitfulness of the deed. (Who is really honest about their dishonesty?) A more accurate estimation of the prevalence of cheating, perhaps, can be found in divorce court, and last year, the Italian association of divorce lawyers published a study of infidelity based on a review of divorce cases over the last five years. According to the study, 55 percent of Italian men and 42 percent of Italian women have cheated, or are currently cheating, on their spouses. The study also found that the most adulterous age is between 40 and 50, and that more than 60 percent of all affairs take place between colleagues. And according to the study, 7 percent of married men cheated with other men in homosexual relationships, compared with 5 percent of women who sought out lesbian encounters.
In terms of the geography of extramarital relations, the lawyers found Milan to be the two-timing capital of Italy followed by Rome, Bologna, and Turin. The survey also suggested that cheaters were most commonly exposed by the discovery of illicit cellphone text messages. (A. Weiner, take note.)
But getting caught doesn't necessarily cause a breakup. "In our country, infidelity is no longer seen in a tragic way," says Gian Ettore Gassani, a divorce lawyer and one of the authors of the study. "Only 40 percent of divorcing couples split because of infidelity." Let's face it: these days, who can afford to be single?
So not only are Italians unable to spare the expense of love affairs, but they're also staying married for financial reasons. Who knew austerity, apart from destroying the economies of several countries, would also foster fidelity?

Screaming in terror, guests shinnied down cables or climbed or were borne down fire ladders early today as flames raged up an elevator shaft of the 5-story Gary hotel.

Two of the dead were re- moved soon after the fire broke out. A third body was found later. The entire front wall of the hotel collapsed into heaps of rubble.

This review is from: Zonet ZEW1605 802.11g Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g PCI Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates
Worked well when I was running Windows XP. The signal strength was good enough to work with my router which was a couple rooms away.
I cannot get the card to function on Windows 7 64-bit. The driver installs and Windows acts like the card is functioning, but I cannot get it to detect any access points (my laptop detects 5+). The email support has not worked for me because the responses I get are mostly incoherent and hard to read.
Other Thoughts:
I haven't tried their phone support, I'll give that a shot next. Be wary if you plan on using Windows 7 with this device.

I'm a sentimental person by nature, but my nostalgia has cranked up even further with the recent birth of my son: attempting to see everything through his new eyes, reconsidering the things I've begun to take for granted, and wondering how his childhood will (and won't) be like mine.
On a more practical level, I've had to make space for him in our 800 square foot house – he has moved into our office / spare room, and seems to accrue more accoutrements with every passing day. In clearing room for his stuff, I've been slowly phasing out my extensive paper files and shifting my papers and such online: distributing them across an unholy alliance of Dropbox, Google Drive, and Evernote.
All three systems employ some version of the traditional folder tree hierarchy, but what makes them really useful is their searchability – something noticeably lacking in the bank of steel Bisleys holding up my desk at home. Evernote in particular takes this a step further, allowing me to categorize and tag my files ad hoc – functionality that Apple's forthcoming Mavericks operating system will be bringing to the desktop format this fall.
Traditional hierarchical file systems have always required significant organizational expertise and investment to maintain: you've got to decide on a structure upfront that will remain flexible enough to accommodate unknown or unforeseen future changes, and that structure both has to be kept up and its vagaries communicated to any new user. Individual files are typically housed in a single primary location, and copies must be created to allow for cross-reference or intradepartmental sharing – the cliché about governmental forms being filled "in triplicate". Traditional hierarchical systems are, more often than not, inflexible and institutionally expensive, and hard (if not impossible) to revise or reform.
Yet we still use these systems, even if by adding search, filter and tagging functionality, we have fundamentally altered the way the underlying information is conceived and related.
Skeumorphism has begun to fade in currency as an aesthetic consideration (or conversation topic), but nostalgia (or fetishism, depending on your perspective) still has an important place in design. Like the brushed aluminum of the old Quicktime interface with its frustrating click-and-drag-and-click-and-drag volume wheel, nostalgia can serve to define and focus in equal parts, despite obscuring or confounding. The designer needs to understand these cultural and physical cues and balance those with the usability and function of the designed solution.
I'm left wondering, then, what benefit – if any – there is in the psychology of hierarchical systems; and why, if for some reason beyond technological limitations, they have persisted as long as they have? Did the legacy of growing up with the Dewey decimal system and thousands of Steelcase filing cabinets leave me at a disadvantage in the emerging economy? Will the my son's productivity be enhanced thanks to a past free of psychologically-limiting hierarchical structures? Or will he be more lost in this postmodern sea of infinitely relational databases? Most importantly, what are the grander implications of a shift away from these confined structures?
I don't assume for a moment that a child born today will come of age in a world without structure, simply because the new Macintosh OS supports tags. But what I do know is that the nature of nostalgia is irrevocably altered when Facebook and Instagram are the dominant photographical repositories of our time, or at minimum that the digital word and image (and sound) have far displaced the physical artifact. As I slowly scan and shred my old documents (or trundle them off to a forgotten corner of the attic), I can't help but reflect on the finality of the process – a road that, once followed, one is not likely to backtrack.

ISLAMORADA -- There will be no Islamorada Wastewater District, the Village Council decided last week.
"Another set of eyes is great. I just hate to put another layer of government on the books," Councilwoman Deb Gillis said.
Her comment came near the end of a Feb. 6 workshop the council called to discuss the long-debated proposal to establish a wastewater district. Such a district would have taken over day-to-day responsibilities of managing the Islamorada sewer utility -- a task that the Village Council instead will continue to handle.
The proposed district was championed by the village's water quality advisory committee, especially longtime committee chairman Dave Makepeace. At last week's workshop, Makepeace once again put forward an outline of the proposal. He suggested a dependent district, with a board that would be selected by the Village Council. The council also would have set the overall responsibilities of the district and exerted control of it through budgeting.
Still, the district board would have had real authority, in effect taking over decision making for the sewer project and the existing Plantation Key wastewater system in much the way that Village Manager Ed Koconis makes day-to-day operating decisions about city functions.
Makepeace suggested the board be tasked with overseeing the $91 million sewer construction project, supervising the village's engineering contractor, managing the village's wastewater fund and performing community relations related to the sewer project, among other tasks.
He and the remainder of the water quality committee made no formal suggestion on how much the wastewater district board members should be paid, though he said the board had discussed $800 to $900 per month. Otherwise, Makepeace said, the new district wouldn't bring extra costs, save for meeting expenses.
As was the case in a December meeting, when the council called for last week's workshop, the proposal had the support of Vice Mayor Ted Blackburn and Councilman Mike Forster.
"I look at this as citizen government," said Blackburn, before explaining that he's a fanatic when it comes to local government. "I honestly believe that the broader you can have citizen government, the better off you are."
Taking wastewater off the Village Council's plate would leave council members with far more time to work on all other Islamorada issues, Forster added.
But council members were given a note of caution from Robert Sheets, an executive of the Government Services Group, who was brought down to the meeting to discuss the pros and cons of an independent district. Government Services Group has worked with 160 local governments in Florida, Sheets said, and has long contracted with the village.
The powers of the district would need to be spelled out extremely carefully, Sheets said. For example, the council would need to determine whether the district board would be allowed to enter into and alter contracts.
"The hardest thing to do once you've made a change is to ever undo it," Sheets said. "You've got to know what the endgame will be. You've got to know what it's like when you are serving 9,000 customers."
That latter issue, said Mayor Ken Philipson, is what the village really needs to be concentrating on when it comes to changing its wastewater management structure.
The wastewater utility serves 1,000 customers now but is expected to reach that 9,000 figure after completion of the sewer system in 2015.
Philipson opposed the creation of a wastewater district but said he is in favor of increasing the in-house village sewer staff, which currently includes only a manger, Greg Tindle, and his assistant, Sandy Skeel.
"Within the next couple years, we need to have a utilities department staffed and ready," the mayor said.
Gillis and Councilman Dave Purdo cited concerns about the potential powers of a sewer district, as well as the cost, in voting against the proposal.
"[I]f we're going to spend extra money, I'd like to spend it to have expertise in our staff," Gillis said.

Additional matching funds from State and a private donor create $68 million in total impact TULSA - The George Kaiser Family Foundation (GKFF) has contributed $25 million to enhance higher education programs in the Tulsa area. The gift will be made in the form of endowed faculty funds at Oklahoma State University, the University of Oklahoma-Tulsa and Tulsa Community College. With this gift, the Foundation aims to improve several priority needs in the community including health and social services, education, engineering and technology and vocational training. The public institutions will use the funds to expand academic programs by adding key faculty and increasing student enrollment. "Over the last decade Tulsa has made great progress in expanding higher education in the community and in so doing has created a workforce better suited to Tulsa's needs and its future growth," said George Kaiser Family Foundation Executive Director Ken Levit. "The Foundation is pleased to invest in these efforts, utilizing the leverage made available in the closing days of the State Regents' one-to-one matching program, in order to see further enhancement of these institutions and their programs in Tulsa." The Foundation's gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the State of Oklahoma under the endowed chair matching program. All gifts qualifying for the dollar-for-dollar match must be received by July 1 of this year due to recent changes to the program's matching rate. Gifts to each university were determined based on each organization's individual needs and its potential to deliver impact through program expansion in a way that aligned with both the Foundation's mission and the Tulsa-area community's priorities. The institutions and GKFF now will work together to develop plans for expanding their academic programs using this gift. Details are expected to be finalized in approximately one year, although each university has initial areas of focus for the funds. Tulsa Community College will expand programs including Allied Health, Early Childhood Education, Counseling, and the Family Sciences with a gift from GKFF of $4 million. By improving these programs, the university expects to help Tulsa gain more teachers and graduates who can work in social service organizations. "The George Kaiser Family Foundation has been a significant partner with Tulsa Community College as the College has sought to create one of the leading child development programs for two-year colleges in the county," said Tulsa Community College President & CEO Tom McKeon. "The $4 million endowment for academic chairs to be matched by the state, thereby providing $8 million, will give Tulsa Community College a level of academic excellence nearly unparalleled among community colleges in the country. This gift will allow TCC to focus on significant academic programs, particularly those where the Kaiser Foundation and TCC share a vision for education and community building, including programs in nursing and dental hygiene; criminal education, rehabilitation and reform; and, biotechnology." The Oklahoma State University gift of $9 million will benefit all three Tulsa-area OSU affiliates – OSU-Tulsa, OSU Center for Health Sciences and OSU Institute of Technology in Okmulgee. The funds will be used to add faculty in areas such as Osteopathic Medicine, Health Promotion, Human Development and Family Sciences, and vocational job training. The GKFF gift to OSU will be doubled by T. Boone Pickens, who in May gave $100 million for endowed professorships and chairs and generously agreed that his donation could be used to match other donor gifts to faculty chairs and professorships in the area of the donor's choice, and in the name of their choice. Combined, the gifts by GKFF and Pickens will total $18 million for use by OSU in the Tulsa area. "Oklahoma State University is extremely grateful to George Kaiser and the George Kaiser Family Foundation for this wonderful gift and for his vision and on-going commitment to higher education," said Oklahoma State University President Burns Hargis. "This generous gift will make a lasting difference in the Tulsa area and because it will be matched by T. Boone Pickens' historic $100 million donation, as well as the state, the gift will have an ultimate impact of $36 million for OSU programs on our campuses at OSU-Tulsa, Center for Health Sciences and Okmulgee." The University of Oklahoma – Tulsa will receive $12 million to support programs such as Early Childhood Education, the School of Community Medicine and likely others. Preliminary discussions for additional faculty include the Schools of Social Work, Urban Design and Engineering. "The George Kaiser Family Foundation, through its generosity, continues to change the lives of countless numbers of people," said University of Oklahoma President David Boren. "OU will work with the Foundation to maximize the educational impact of this new $12 million gift and focus it on areas of need in Tulsa and the surrounding area."

Either to know the correct time or give a go at posh style, watches are an important accessory to aid in time of need. Despite of the fast-growing use of smartphones, their use in bringing unspoken impact in a gathering keeps the demand of watches going equally fast. Ladies' watches, particularly the bracelet or quart watches arriving at Sammydress are a must to try for women of all ages – they rather make up for an absentee gold chain or bracelet. It is more likely you'll have another go. And maybe the cute watches are another try.

If Roy Halladay was hungry for a ring in 2010, he's got to be starving now.
Some highlights from Roy talking on Friday about his Phillies and the 2011 NLDS against the Cardinals:
"I think I learned last year, being in [the playoffs] is the best part of it. Being able to play these games is what makes it all worthwhile. To get to this point, I'm excited. We obviously want to go all the way to the end."
"We have a lot of trust in each other. We feel like we have a good team. We feel like we have all the parts we need to go all the way. To a man in that clubhouse, there's not a guy who would tell you he would not be disappointed if we didn't win it all."
"You come out and play 162 games and you get to this point, this is the fun part. I think we're looking forward to it. Obviously the ultimate goal is to give ourselves a chance to win a World Series."
It's only gonna get funner.

Dogs and Cats Get Bipartisan Support
Many of you are probably aware that I live in Colorado. As a favorite bumper sticker of mine says (in response to people who look down on transplants to the state), "not NATIVE – but I got here as fast as I could." There are many things to love about Colorado, but if you are a dog owner, this area is truly sublime.
Dogs are everywhere. In fact, a friend once remarked that upon crossing the state line for the first time, new residents surely must be handed the keys to a Subaru with a dog in the back. Yes, the sight is that ubiquitous.
Pet owners in Colorado have more reason to celebrate this month. Our state legislative session just ended after passing two animal-friendly new bills, which were signed into law by our governor, John Hickenlooper, on Monday, May 13.
The Dog Protection Act was drafted in response to several well-publicized occurrences wherein law enforcement officers shot and killed family dogs. The officers claimed they discharged their weapons because the dogs were behaving aggressively, but in one case, the dog had been tasered and was already restrained at the end of a catch pole. That officer was later charged with animal cruelty.
The Dog Protection Act mandates sheriffs' offices and police departments to offer three hours of online training on recognizing dog behaviors and employing nonlethal control methods. The goal, as Governor Hickenlooper said is to "keep officers and animals safe." The bill was supported by law enforcement agencies and passed unanimously.
The second pet bill (SB 13-201)that was signed into law on Monday designated dogs and cats that are adopted from Colorado animal shelters and rescues as the state pets of Colorado. This was not as widely embraced as was the Dog Protection Act. As was reported in the Denver Post:
The battle to make dogs and cats adopted from shelter and rescue centers the official state pet pitted schoolkids against professional lobbyists representing purebred dog clubs, retailers, groomers and dog-show organizers.
The bill ultimately passed, 6-3, but there were moments when the students from Peakview School in Walsenburg thought their project, designed to help them learn about the legislative process, could go either way.
So many people arrived to testify that stragglers were left to find seats in the overflow room. Dog leashes stretched across the packed hallway, obstacles for the unwary, and piercing barks interrupted testimony. Griffin Kerr, the 3-year-old son of the bill's sponsor, Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, cavorted around the room dressed as a spotted dog because his preschool had just celebrated Dalmatian Day.
SB 13-201 passed both the state House and Senate and Governor Hickenlooper signed both bills into law in a ceremony held at the Denver Animal Shelter. Makes me proud to be a Coloradoan.

European leaders consider Euro Cup boycott over Tymoshenko
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating was an associate editor at Foreign Policy
There seems to be a growing movement among European politicians to use the upcoming Euro cup — co-hosted by Ukraine and Poland — as an opportunity to take a stand on human rights conditions in Ukraine, particularly the imprisonment of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who is now on a hunger strike and reportedly in poor health.
EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Redding and EU commission President Jose Manuel Barroso both say they will boycott the event. Czech President Vaclav Klaus and German President Joachim Gauck have already canceled participation in summit planned in Ukraine for next week because of Tymoshenko's treatment. Chancellor Angela Merkel says she will not attend Euro 2012 unless Tymoshenko's conditions improve. The Dutch parliament has passed a resolution saying that no one representing the government should attend.
So far there's no talk of teams or players boycotting the games, though Bayern Munich president and German soccer icon Uli Hoeness did say that he "would have respect for every player who publicly took a stand on this issue."
In an interview with Der Spiegel, Ukrainian boxer and pro-democracy activist Vitali Klitschko said he did not support a boycott, but asked players to be aware of the conditions in Ukraine:
I am against the politicization of sports. But athletes also need to be clear about what is happening in a country in which they are competing. Think about the 1978 World Cup in Argentina. At the time, regime opponents were tortured and killed by the military junta, in some instances in the very stadiums where the World Cup matches were later played. Berti Vogts, the captain of the German national team at the time, said only that he hadn't seen a single political prisoner and that Argentina was a country where order was maintained.
Klitschko said he hoped the tournament would be "an excellent opportunity to draw the world's attention to the maladministration in our country."
After the Beijing Olympics, I'm a bit skeptical of the argument that events like these can effectively highlight human rights issues in a host country. The incentive of the organizers, sponsors, and players is to have a smooth-running competition, not provide opportunity for Jesse Owens moments. On the other hand, the recent Formula 1 Grand Prix in Bahrain did seem to draw some attention to a forgotten human rights crisis.
In any event, the Ukraine controversy may be just a prelude to Sochi 2014.

Pitt's tennis team suffered its first match of the season on the road at No. 47-ranked Virginia Tech, 6-1. The Panthers fell to 3-1, while the Hokies improved to 7-2.
"In doubles we didn't start with the best energy," said head coach Alex Santos. "We got down early on two courts and although we fought back it ended up being too little, too late and ultimately the slow start cost us the doubles point. However, we showed that we are definitely competitive and tomorrow we will need to start with the same level that we finished with in doubles today.
"In singles we weren't able to execute with the level of perfection that we needed during a few particular moments," continued Santos. "I give credit to Virginia Tech for having the experience and the maturity to handle those moments better than we did. I really like the way this team is growing and most importantly the pace at which we are doing so. Tomorrow we have another great test in front of us in Wake Forest and our ability to be successful will depend upon our ability to improve some of the details we have discussed in our team meeting."
Pitt won at No. 2 doubles as Audrey Ann Blakely and Amanda Wickman defeated Ilinca Stoica and Kelly Williford, 8-5. The Panthers dropped the doubles point, however, falling at No. 1 (8-4) and at No. 3 (8-4).
Pitt picked up its point at No. 5 singles as junior Amanda Wickman defeated Raluca Mita, 6-3, 2-6, 6-4. One other singles matches went into a tie breaker as Molly Wickman fell at No. 6 to Carol Kahoun in a hard-fought 6-2, 2-6, 1-0 (10-6) match.
Jocelyn Lu at No. 1 singles fell to the No. 90-ranked player in the nation in a tight match, 7-6 (8-6), 6-3. On court two, Blakely fell in her first singles or doubles match of the season, 6-0, 6-1, to Stocia. At No. 3, freshman Lolade Ogungbesan fell to Williford, 6-4, 6-2, and at No. 5 Katherine Castro fell to Isel Martinez-Marcos, 7-5, 6-4.
Pitt continues its road trip on Sunday with a noon match at No. 50 Wake Forest.

text: I'd call bringing in a 6-time pro-bowl center, the top guard in the draft, and the top guard in FA, plus OT depth "fixing the foundation". I tend to agree with you about the defense. But, I also believe it's not far from a bottom-10 defense as well, which is what it was this year. My point is that defense no longer wins championships. You HAVE to be able to score points. Lets play to our strengths by making them stronger. Except for being in a rap music video, Bryant has not shown any interest in the "hood life" or any of the accompaniments that come along with it. The only aging player that I proposed bringing in is Matt Birk, who is 36, he can easily hold down the fort while Killa Kowalski learns for 2 more years. With one cut, the Cowboys can be $28mil under the cap. They can sign good young players to promising contracts that are market-fair and still be competitive with those players for 5 seasons. You think Brandon Carr, Desean Jackson, or Carl Nicks are going to just fall off the face of the planet after the 2012 season would close?

Blekko, the search engine known for blocking out spam, came quite a long way since their rough launch last year. People weren't really expecting too much from them, especially when they downplayed their product as "not a Google killer," accompanied by a not-so-outstanding release.
Blekko didn't get frazzled with all the criticism and they even found their first partner, DuckDuckGo, a general purpose search engine that brags on how they don't track their users. So it seems Blekko is ready to start a new chapter, having launched a new search feature, Web Grepper. The purpose of this new tool is to allow access to previously hidden data. It's a feature that's actually written on their Web Search Bill of Rights: that search should be open or transparent and readily available.
With the Web Grepper, questions like: "Can you give me a list of every site that uses Facebook Connect? In rank order?" or "Can you send me a list of sites that have the Google +1 button on them?" and "Can you give me a list of every site that is running [insert name] ad network?" can now be easily answered and data acquired quickly.
According to their blog post, "The way Web Grepper works is simple. Everyday, we will run 2 map jobs against our crawl of 4 billion pages. These will be greps for strings, patterns, regex expressions that blekko users submit to us and decide are cool. Got a grep you want to run? Submit it here. If enough people agree with you that this grep is interesting (by voting it up), we'll run it. And we'll post the results here. We make the top 500 results for every grep available for free to anyone who wants it. Pretty cool, eh?"
"We look at the Web as one big, massive data set. Keyword matches (with a relevance filter) are certainly one way to pull data from that set. But it's not the only way. There's a ton of interesting data that lives within the source HTML that keywords just can't get to. That's where Web Grepper comes in – and now you have access to it."
The tool was created by their engineers when they saw an increase in the demand for information coming from brands and networks. Blekko decided to open the tool publicly after developing a democratic process on how to determine the list of jobs the search engine would run, as they do not want hackers to acquire private and personal information.
According to Blekko Vice President of Marketing Mike Markson, in order to request data, the person must first submit a job to the community, which will be up for voting to see if the request will be granted or declined.
If you're wondering why Google hasn't utilized this feature if this is such an ingenious addition to searching the Web, Google's Matt Cutts' Webmaster video explains why. According to Cutts, data found on Web pages are "regular expressions" and that we should not expect for the feature to be available in Google in the near future as no one is requesting for it.
And if you're wondering where the name Web Grepper came from, according to Wikipedia, it's based on a command-line text matching search tool originally developed for UNIX. The name comes from the ed command g/re/p (global / regular expression / print). The grep command searches files or standard input globally for lines matching a given regular expression, and prints the lines to the program's standard output.
It's another example of a startup leveraging big data to differentiate itself in a market. Search in particular is going to be an important area for unstructured data analysis, and more natural interactions between human and machine will come as a result. Google may not have this search format in their toolkit yet, but they are working towards a more unstructured search method. Wolfram Alpha is another.

Nevermind that the PA's third largest city is having to consider selling its water infrastructure to stave off bankruptcy. Nevermind that Republican DA Jim Martin says the Tea Party slate's proposed budget cuts will have significant costs to public safety. It's an excellent time for a fucking tax cut!
Also note that the tea people want Bill Hansell to
wipe their butts find their cuts for them, as if they don't have access to the same budget numbers he does.
This is a glimpse of what you can expect from national budget politics in 2020 (or if you prefer, a replay of budget politics in 2000). Once the Democrats have finally righted the nation's finances, the Republicans will start clamoring for tax cuts. The deficit is the problem, until the surplus is. Democrats have no choice but to clean up after the Republicans at the state and local level where balanced budgets are required by law, but there's no reason to play this game at the federal level.

Current Labour MP Kevin Brennan was a ball of energy today as he went about door to door campaigning in Cardiff West. His sprightly mood showed no signs of nervousness, despite the constituency being a hot seat in the next election with candidates for Plaid Cymru, Liberal Democrats, and Conservative all having a good chance of winning the seat.
The sun was beginning to break through the clouds as Brennan set out on foot with his small team which included his community weapon – Ramesh Patel – who is held in high regard by many voters for his work as the local councillor.
Patel told me this year voters' political feelings are difficult to gauge – with many swaying between Lib Dem and Labour.
But Brennan was greeted with many a smile this morning as he went about canvassing energetically. The seat has been a Labour stronghold since 1987 – with Rhodri Morgan passing the baton over to Brennan in 2001 when he stood down as MP. Read our interview with Brennan here.
Leaflet attacks
Brennan also said he was unfazed by recent election material from Plaid Cymru. In a leaflet circulated in Cardiff West the current MP is attacked by prospective candidate Mohammed Sarul Islam for expenses claims revealed last year.
Brennan came under fire in March 2009 when the Sunday Telegraph revealed he had bought a Toshiba television for his home in London and had it delivered to his Cardiff address. At the time, Brennan defended himself saying he liked to support local business and had moved the television to his London home shortly after it was delivered.
The leaflet from Plaid Cymru includes a picture of a Sony widescreen television with the caption 'Is this Kevin Brennan's widescreen television, paid for by us?'
On the flyer, Mohammed Sarul Islam says he was '"shocked when his read in the Echo about my MP having a £450 widescreen television delivered to his Cardiff home'".
Brennan said that was not the sort of election campaigning he was party to.
You can see all Kevin Brennan's expenses here. Upload your election material for Cardiff West and other constituencies here and find your constituency page here.

A trailer in Barrow County was destroyed by fire Monday, according to officials with Barrow County Emergency Services.
"Upon arrival, we found heavy smoke showing and fire venting from the roof in one corner of the home," said Battalion Chief Mike Stoops. "We made an aggressive fire attack from inside the home and found heavy fire conditions in a bedroom and bathroom of the home."

A search revealed no one was home at the time of the fire.
"The firefighters were able to quickly bring the fire under control," said department spokesman Lt. Scott Dakin.
Dakin said the home suffered heavy smoke damage throughout and approximately 50 percent of the home suffered fire damage.
Two adults and two children were displaced by the fire. The American Red Cross assisted the people living in the home.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Fire Investigation Team.

Need your thoughts on this!
I have been contemplating if Ts and Hoodies would be happy to be embellished with my photography.....????....I like graphics/words works better for clothing items usually. Any photographs you think would be cool on tops S6 offers?
Photos can look cool too if you find a way to make the edges of a picture seem less well edgy. the box shape of a photo sometimes doesnt look so good. Create cool framing and Id say make it a go.

I purchaced the 18 volt package with sawzall, circular, drill, light, 2 years ago.With life time warentee 2 months out he shaft bent. I got it fixed then several months later it just stopped working. I went to a repair station and they fixed a switch in the drill (2 months to repair). It worked for a while but all 3 batterys run down too quickly (one hole or 1 2x4). Package should run longer and not have this many repairs. I feel like it is junk more time in the shop than out in the field.

If you are not exaggerating take the batteries in and exchange them. I have the same kit and think it is excellent.

I use the drill when running basement wire and can drill an entire basement with a 7/8 wood auger on 1 battery, not sure how many holes exactly but lots.

Thanks for the replies
All of my tools get hard use. Isnt that what they are designed for. I will bring the system back for one more repair including the batterys.
I have lots of other commercial Rigid tools and am very happy with them. I do wonder abouth the quality of the smaller products tools at Home Cheapo,

ummmm no they are meant for light duty to medium duty as all cordless tools are for hard use(i take that as heavy duty)then you really need corded tools but if that is of no real optoin to you and i know for some poeple it is not then you should expect to go though the tools about every 18-24 months and batterys maybe even faster 6-12 months. hope this helps.9/11/01, never forget.
