I live in a blueberry country, so we eat a lot of blueberries. New studies show that freezing doesn't damage their delicate anthocyanin antioxidants, so I freeze blueberries in vacuum sealed Ziploc bags. In winter we just eat them plain frozen.
Blueberries are awesome and are considered a superfood! Full of antioxidants more than any other fresh fruit. They boost up your immune system and prevent infections. Blueberries keep you young, prevent belly fat and help dissolve "bad" cholesterol.
I never made a sweet kind of salsa before, so I had no idea what to expect. Once I combined all ingredients together and with a few tweaks, it was a love at first sight.
Sweet and tangy berries coated with zesty lime juice and sweet agave, paired with freshness of cilantro and mint and spiced with a bit of chili powder. Sold! Do no hesitate if you are looking for a fresh summer appetizer.
I also made this salsa in advance and served 5 hours later. It will keep fresh refrigerated for up to 24 hours. If you are really short on time, you can prepare the salsa up to 2 days in advance and refrigerate the berries and dressing separately. Or bring it to your next party and mix right there. The salsa tastes best after all ingredients get to "marry each other" for at least 10 minutes. Don't skip this step.
Only 53 calories and 1 WW point+ per 1/4 cup serving. Loaded with healthy carbs, natural sugar and fiber. Don't feel bad, indulge! I never watch how much fruit I eat and stay slim. It's real food!
I served it on a hot July night at my BBQ party with pumpkin seed tortilla chips with a hint of cinnamon, from Costco. Great pairing.
The salsa was gone to the very last bit. The guests were spooning the very last berries and juice from the bottom of the bowl to top off the Grilled Mojito Pork Tenderloin.:)
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
- 2 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 2 tbsp agave nectar
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- In a medium bowl, combine blueberries and strawberries. Set aside.
- In a small bowl add mint, cilantro, chili powder, agave nectar, lime juice and whisk to combine. Pour over berries and gently mix just enough to combine. Let salsa rest for 10 minutes in the fridge before serving (ideal to let all flavours "marry each other"). Serve with multigrain plain, cinnamon or pumpkin chips as an appetizer. Also great to top off fish, chicken and pork.

On 09/11/2013, "Handyman Vince" and his looting bandits (one by the name of Keith E Roe) came to my house and gave a written estimate on work to be done. To make a long story short, by 09/20/2013, my kithchen appliances were wrecked, my deck ruined, and my aviary thrown all over the backyard, and I was left about 2000.00 out of pocket and with a tile job a 4 year old could have done! Vince denied any part of the thievery but the verbal agreement was with him and the written quote is in his letterhead. Addtionally, he verbally promiosed to "make me whole" and then disappeared into the night! Also, he transported the Roe entourage to my house and showed up while they were working. Roe admitted to taking and pawning the tools! These guys have one heck of a racket going!!!!! BEWARE AND BEWARNED!!!!!!! THEY ARE CROOKS AND WILL ROB YOU BLIND AFTER TAKING YOUR MONEY!

Stocks That Pay Monthly Dividends - 42676 views
The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage. The opinions expressed are those of the author and do not represent the views of TheStreet or its management.
SAN FRANCISCO (Stockerblog) -- There are plenty of benefits to owning stocks that pay their dividends monthly. According to our list WallStreetNewsNetwork.com, there are over 200 different companies that pay dividends monthly, many of which have high yields.
Technically, these stocks are real estate investment trusts, oil income trusts, closed-end bond funds and closed-end income stock funds, which pay dividends every month. Advantages to receiving monthly dividends as opposed to quarterly or annual dividend stocks are that the invested capital is returned faster, compounding takes place quicker, and there is usually less price volatility of the investment. Also, many of monthly dividend investments pay dividends that are tax-free.
More From Stockpickr
An example is the MFS Multimarket Income Trust (MMT), which pays a yield of 7.80%. The stock trades at a 9.2% to net asset value. The company, which has been around since 1987, has a management fee of 0.82%.
Gas Natural (EGAS), formerly known as Energy Inc., is a distributor of natural gas in Montana, Wyoming, North Carolina and Maine. It was founded in 1909. The stock pays a yield of 4.6% and carries a price to earnings ratio of 12.7.
Baytex Energy (BTE) is an investment trust that generates income from petroleum and natural gas properties. It generates a yield of 4.2%, and has been paying monthly since 2006. The company trades at 22.4 times forward earnings.
Realty Income (O), with the great single-letter stock ticker symbol, yields 5%. This real estate investment trust which specializes in commercial retail real estate, has been around since 1969. The stock trades at 16.7 times forward earnings.
Calamos Convertible & High Income (CHY) has a decent yield of 6.9%. However, the management fee is a bit on the high side at 1.13%. This CEF, founded in 2003, invests in high yield fixed income securities and convertible securities.
Provident Energy Trust (PVX) is a Canadian income trust which generates a yield of 6.1% through the marketing of natural gas liquids. It was founded in 1993. Canada's new legislation which taxes trust income goes into effect this year. This would tax the trusts at the corporate level in addition to the shareholder level. However, many analysts believe that this taxation is built into the price of these Canadian trusts.
Use caution choosing these investments. Avoid the ones with high management fees, watch out for the ones with limited liquidity and those that trade very few shares on a daily basis, and if you invest in the municipal bond closed-end funds, make sure you know the consequences of the alternative minimum tax. You also want to find the ones that trade at a discount to net asset value, and avoid the ones using excessive leverage.
To see the latest updated list of over 200 monthly dividend stocks, including many that have yields of 8% or more, visit WallStreetNewsNetwork.com. Remember, very high yields may not be sustainable.

A Crepe and A View - ParisAuthor: Vanille (More Trip Reviews by Vanille)
Date of Trip: December 2004
It was our last full evening in Paris. We had passed La Fourmi Ailée several times on our way to other destinations and finally decided to try it. Non-smokers are ushered to an upstairs room, which resembles an old artist's garret from the late 19th century, something out of La Bohéme. A set of oblong skylight windows hung gloriously above us, lending light to an otherwise dark alcove.
There were several vegetarian items on the menu. I ordered the vegetarian lasagna, which is made with tofu instead of an overload of cheese, a common mistake made by people who don't truly understand the vegetarian diet. A pureed marinara sauce, thick with chunks of Roma tomatoes, was intertwined with four ample lasagna noodles. Mozzarella shreds blended with the tofu were just the right touch to this already mouthwatering dish.
My carnivore husband requested the demi-canard en croute sel, or salty duck. The duck arrived in a darkly roasted bread crust, which we were told should not be eaten, as it is made with large amounts of salt. The crust seals in the juices of the duck as it bakes. A pile of vegetables are served on the side, augmented by the Hollandaise sauce, a pitcher of which is provided for every table. Dirk ordered a house white wine, which turned out to be a reasonably drinkable Sauvignon Blanc.
Lingering over our meal, we decided to order dessert. I opted for pear sorbet, which arrived with an appropriately tart, if somewhat predictable, blackberry sauce drizzled over it. Dirk went for the more adventurous apple strudel with mushrooms. I can vouch for the fact that the gently cooked, nutmeg-infused apples and the thinly-sliced cremini mushrooms were a perfect marriage within the flaky strudel crust.
Every trip to Paris is a culinary delight. I always find something new to love. We could not recommend our little studio apartment, with its yawning abyss toilet and barely there water pressure, in its present state. However, if the bathroom is upgraded, we will try the apartment again. Not until then, though. I still feel a little seasick.

XLC & XLD Jam at Oregon Jamboree
Taking place over the first weekend in August, this year's Oregon Jamboree featured headliners Dierks Bentley, Trisha Yearwood and Jo Dee Messina. For the past five years, Horne Audio, Inc., (Portland, Oregon) have used EV line array systems to great effect at the festival, and, in the spirit of continuous improvement, this year they tried something different with their sub deployment.
"Our client asked that we try an alternative to ground-stacked subs, to keep the low-end from overwhelming the seating areas directly in front of the stage," says J. Peter Horne, "so we decided to fly two side-by-side arrays of six XLC215 subs per side, keeping the low-end off the ground alongside our main hangs of twelve XLC-DVX per side and side fill arrays of eight XLD281 per side." In addition, HAI flew down-fill hangs of two XLD281 boxes under each main XLC array, and eight more XLC-DVX boxes on the delay tower.
"The coupling effect with the sub arrays worked very well," adds Horne, "as it gave us the low end output we needed for this deep venue without blocking the view-six-deep sub arrays meant we were well clear of the deck-or focusing too much energy on the front rows. Using this combination of compact XLC and XLD arrays allows us to provide full coverage and plenty of power handling without the clumsy footprint or crowded sightlines. We upgraded our XLC127 boxes to the new DVX woofers for this season, so now the whole EV rig is loaded with DVX woofers and delivering incredible punch and clarity for the pound. The clients-and the audience in the front rows-were extremely happy with the results!"

If your T is small, you should be aware that using lagged dependent
variables in a fixed-effects model generates biased parameter
estimates. See Judson and Owen (1999) for more on this.
If you insist in using LDVs in this situation, then you may have to go
the IV route, after which things can get quite messy.

Dealer getting Jeep from another Dealer
My Jeep dealer didn't have the 2014 JGC that I was looking for but another dealer had the exact Jeep - exact same equipment and configuration except for color
The dealer said he could make a better price for the Jeep he had in stock, but if I wanted to Jeep delivered from another dealer (50 miles away), it would be $3000 more --- exact same Jeep just a different color
Has anyone else had a similar experience? I could understand that he could offer a better price for the one he had on the lot, but $3000 difference? I was thinking maybe $500 difference.
He just wants to sell what's on his lot. I would say screw him, drive the 50 miles, and work out the deal u want with that dealer.
Re: Dealer getting Jeep from another Dealer
When I ordered my Summit, dealer found one just like it 200+ miles away BUT that dealer would only give it up IF mine had Summit to trade them and they didn't..price would've stayed the same tho"
Re: Dealer getting Jeep from another Dealer
50 miles is a short drive. Just go to the other dealer yourself.
Why pay $3K? Hell, why pay $500???
Re: Dealer getting Jeep from another Dealer
Re: Dealer getting Jeep from another Dealer
I just negotiated. They did say they could do better on a 2014 on their lot. They got to 3.5% below invoice (they were offering this b/c I had a letter showing $1,750 below invoice at the Colorado Springs dealer. I said I wanted a 2013 not on their lot. First they said they can't go below invoice. But then later, they would go 1/2 of their holdback below invoice which is about 1.5% below invoice. I could have fought for more. Still turned them down even getting $1,000 abovee KBB trade-in excellent price for my 2012.
Re: Dealer getting Jeep from another Dealer
That's BS. When I bought my 2012 Power Wagon, my dealer swapped a Rubicon Jeep for my truck that was about 250 miles away. I did have to pay a couple hundred bucks to cover the transport costs, but it wasn't a big deal. That was the only extra cost difference. A guy from the dealer drove the Jeep to the other dealer and drove my truck back home. It had a few hundred miles on it when I took delivery but I wasn't concerned.
Re: Dealer getting Jeep from another Dealer
I just did this yesterday - my local dealer who I had already negotiated all pricing with on a '14 Overland didn't have the one I wanted but a dealership in Oregon 150 miles south happened to have one (Granite Overland with Advanced Tech Package and no CD player).
They had it transported up yesterday morning and I took delivery yesterday afternoon. Zero mark up in cost to have this done - I paid the same price we had previously negotiated. They just swapped Overlands straight across with the other dealership.
There was going to be a $500 transport cost if they were to actually put it on a truck to transport it, which I was willing to pay, but they couldn't do this til next week so I said screw it and just had them drive it and put the 150 miles on it so that I could take delivery right away. Having them drive it for me cost me nothing.
To do a dealer to dealer trade, it shouldn't cost you anything. If the dealers aren't willing to make the change, your just stuck. When we got my wife's Hyundai, it took the dealer 3 weeks to try and find this car and only took my 30 minutes. When talking with the dealer, he said that dealer didn't want to trade it cuz it was a hot item. So we just went to that dealer instead and bought it for an even better deal than what we originally was looking at.
Re: Dealer getting Jeep from another Dealer
To anyone looking for retirement jobs, that is exactly what they are for some people. They have a posse of probably 10 people at our local dealership that do nothing but drive new cars around. Some husband and wife teams too. You just sit on a list and they call if they need you. Already have it in my retirement plan.;-)
Re: Dealer getting Jeep from another Dealer
I think the dealer with the car you want gets the hold back and not your dealer is why. My dealer has got 2 cars for me but never charged any extra.

Professions: Conversations on the Future of Literary and Cultural Studies
€ 36,99
Bisher € 37,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Juni 2001
BeschreibungSometimes playful, always provocative, Professions is a collection of searching and candid conversations -- ranging from dialogues to tongue-in-cheek diatribes -- on the issues that face literary and cultural critics today.This volume bares professional concerns, relationships, ambitions, and insecurities about working in academe. Professions provides hard-to-get insider information for students contemplating an academic career. It also challenges professional scholars to retrieve the intellectual curiosity that drew them to scholarship in the first place while demonstrating how disagreement on controversial issues can be conducted with respect, good humor, and an open mind.
Pressestimmen"This volume comprises neither clearly conservative voices nor extreme radical manifestoes (and hence no angry voices). Hall posits the 'dissensus' rather than the consensus model for debates on curriculum and literary theory... Useful for graduate students trying to make sense of the conversations and conflicts gripping literary academics." -- Choice ADVANCE PRAISE "Every Ph.D. student in English -- and every teacher of Ph.D. students in English -- should read this book. Professions will help students think hard about what's at stake in graduate school and help them decide whether they want to try joining the professoriate. The conversations and intellectual fun in this timely book provoke us to join in with conversations of our own." -- Robert Dale Parker, author of The Unbeliever: The Poetry of Elizabeth Bishop

text: 9 mm handgun 3 Students Charged With Gun Possession at New Castle School By Don Rush • Jun 6, 2014 all-free-download.com NEW CASTLE, Del. (AP) - Delaware State Police say three students have been charged after school administrators found they had guns at a New Castle school. Police said Friday that the weapons were discovered Wednesday at William Penn High School. Investigators say school administrators removed two students from their classrooms after seeing an Instagram photo showing the students posing with a handgun in a school bathroom.

Both pop stars say the brief nudity was caused by a "wardrobe malfunction." In an apology released late Monday, Jackson said she had planned a "costume reveal" but only a red bra was supposed to be shown. (Related story:'Wardrobe malfunction' flashes silver)
Though television has been pushing the sexual-innuendo envelope for decades, this flash of breast, on national television during a beloved annual sporting event seen by millions of families, suddenly became a culminating moment in a long-simmering culture clash.
"The decision to have a costume reveal at the end of my halftime show performance was made after final rehearsals. MTV was completely unaware of it. It was not my intention that it go as far as it did. I apologize to anyone offended including the audience, MTV, CBS and the NFL."
Among the fallout:
• Executives at PepsiCo, historically one of the largest and most successful Super Bowl advertisers, are threatening to pull out of next year's Super Bowl if they're not given clear assurances that such an incident won't happen again. "We're very serious about this," PepsiCo spokesman Mark Dollins said.
PepsiCo executives also were disappointed that viewers were talking more about the Jackson incident than the commercials. "It speaks to our extreme disappointment that all that quality work has been overshadowed," Dollins said. The various PepsiCo brands, including Frito-Lay, Sierra Mist and Pepsi, aired six commercials on Sunday's broadcast.
• The FCC is also looking into the matter. Chairman Michael Powell launched "an immediate investigation" Monday. Powell said he had gathered with his family to watch the show but instead got a "classless, crass and deplorable stunt."
Federal indecency rules bar the broadcast of obscene material and limit the airing of material that contains sexual or excretory references in a patently offensive manner to late-night hours when children are less likely to be watching. During the 8:30-9 p.m. ET half-hour of Sunday's night program, which is approximately when the halftime show aired, there were 92 million average viewers, including 7.8 million children ages 2 to 11.
The FCC could fine CBS and its roughly 200 affiliates $27,500 a station. The agency probably will take into account CBS' knowledge — or lack thereof — of the event, officials say. But excuses might not wash, especially in today's climate. Last month, Powell proposed action against NBC because Bono, lead singer for U2, said the "f-word" when he received an award during last year's live Golden Globes broadcast.
• Presidential hopeful Howard Dean said the FCC was overreacting. He told Reuters on his campaign plane Monday: "Considering what's on television these days, I think the FCC is being pretty silly about investigating this."
• NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue vowed Monday to "change our policy, our people and our processes before the next Super Bowl to ensure that this entertainment is far more effectively dealt with and is of far more appropriate quality for the Super Bowl game." The NFL earlier said it was "unlikely" that MTV would ever produce another Super Bowl halftime.
• CBS chief Leslie Moonves sent a memo to employees Monday expressing concern and denying that the incident was planned. "We attended all rehearsals of the show, and there was no indication at any time that such an inappropriate display was contemplated." The memo also said, "I want to offer my personal assurances that we are looking into this matter and will do everything we can to get to the bottom of it."
• Bob Lee, chairman of the CBS affiliates advisory board, said that today affiliates will be discussing what action to take. He told the trade publication Television Week that affiliates will need some kind of guarantee from CBS that no inappropriate incidents will be broadcast on Sunday's Grammy Awards show. "Otherwise, stations are going to have to do it themselves." To delay and bleep at the local level "is a little complicated, but it can be done," Lee said.
The incident shocked a society that seems to be ever more unshockable, but this time it might have gone too far for many Americans. On one side of the debate: outraged citizens who immediately lit up the CBS switchboard with complaints.
Their sentiments were no doubt much like those of M.B. Ellis, 78, owner of a small publishing house in Mobile, Ala., who wrote in a letter to USA TODAY's Sports section: "What a depressing display of filth, obscenity, cruelty, and just plain stupidity! What ever happened to dignity and good taste in this country?"
"What's in line for next year's halftime show?" asked Ed Zak, 43, a father of three from New Smyrna Beach, Fla. "How about two 'artists' having sex at the 50-yard line — all in the name of NFL entertainment. When you do, please give us a head's up so I can prepare myself how to explain to my kids what they watched."
But is it really that big a deal?
On the other side of the cultural divide: observers of pop culture who say teenagers and adult couch potatoes can see much more risqué fare on dozens of cable TV channels any day.
"For what there is on television and in the entertainment industry these days, one bare breast doesn't seem like much to cause a fuss over," Andy Rooney, veteran CBS culture commentator, said Monday.
After all, Survivor's Richard Hatch was running around nude on the beach after the Super Bowl, his private parts blurred. And nudity has been a long-time staple of cable television shows.
The Super Bowl's halftime show itself has become something to watch as it has become edgier. It has gone from marching bands and Up With People to attention-getting pop stars in elaborately produced spectacles. And it's gobbled up by the viewers.
Sex literally sells: A piece of jewelry similar to the one Jackson was wearing on her breast was available on eBay before the day was out. A sun shield design for pierced nipples had an opening bid of $19.99 and was touted "as seen on TV!"
All of the corporate entities, many of whom regularly endorse racy entertainment, were quick to deny any responsibility.
The NFL, CBS and MTV, which produced the halftime show, and AOL, which sponsored the show, were apologetic and said they had no knowledge that Jackson — whose family already is under scrutiny as her brother Michael faces child molestation charges in California — was going to go half-topless.
CBS spokesman Chris Ender said Monday that the network was embarrassed. "It wasn't rehearsed, it wasn't discussed, it wasn't even hinted at. Whether it was a production mistake or an inexplicably misguided publicity stunt by those involved in the performance, this is something we would never ever have approved, and we are angry and embarrassed."
CBS's cable sibling MTV — both are owned by Viacom — produced the entire halftime show and was responsible for its content, although a CBS executive acted as a point person throughout rehearsals. MTV issued a statement insisting the bodice-ripping was "unrehearsed, unplanned" and "completely unintentional." MTV president Van Toffler said the network was "incredibly disappointed because it completely overshadowed" MTV's get-out-the-vote message.
For its part, AOL, which spent an estimated $10 million to sponsor the halftime show and broadcast several ads and promos during and before the game, said it's not very happy with the outcome. The company dropped plans to offer Internet access to rebroadcasts of the show "in deference to our membership and the fans," said Ruth Sarfaty, an AOL spokeswoman.
'Some kind of collapse in the garment'
Jackson's story supports the executives' version of events. She was traveling from Houston to Los Angeles on Monday and finally issued a statement saying she decided after final rehearsals to have a "costume reveal." She said: "MTV was completely unaware of it. It was not my intention that it go as far as it did."
Her publicist, Jennifer Holiner, explained, "What was supposed to happen was that the red lace bra under the bustier was supposed to be revealed. There was some kind of collapse in the garment."
But some still questioned Jackson's intentions. After all, she does have an album coming out in the next two months, and what better way to kick off the publicity than with a Super Bowl stunt?
The lyrics Timberlake was singing seemed to promise a dramatic climax: "I'll get you naked by the end of this song." Although he said the breast-baring "wasn't intentional," Timberlake didn't sound apologetic after the show when he told Access Hollywood's Pat O'Brien at a party, "Hey man, we love giving you all something to talk about."
Close-ups of the costume, posted on the Internet, appear to reveal snaps around that part of the bustier.
Elizabeth Cannon, a New York costumer designer now at work on a Lincoln Center opera, said, "It's a nightmare for a designer to have something come apart" — unless it's intentional. She said it's common on Broadway to have an entire suit with Velcro up the back to make a quick costume change easier. And sometimes fabric will tear if stressed at a pressure point. "In Janet's costume, let's say it had grommets pulled tightly, the grommets could have popped."
On the MTV Web site before the show, a story quoted Jackson choreographer Gil Duldulao as promising "shocking moments" from Jackson. That story was taken off the Web site by Monday morning.
Parents Television Council president Brent Bozell rejected the denials. "The performance, including the offensive material, was obviously scripted," he said in a statement issued by his parents advocacy group. "We find Justin Timberlake's apology and explanation to be dishonest and disingenuous."
The Family Research Council and the Southern Baptist Convention also denounced the show. Council president Tony Perkins urged the FCC on Monday to hold CBS accountable. "CBS should know better than to turn the halftime entertainment over to MTV, which relishes its ability to shock. CBS would do well to adhere to the adage 'If you sleep with dogs, you'll get fleas.' I am sure there is a lot of scratching going on at CBS today."
Some ad experts didn't buy official explanations, either. Jerry Della Femina, ad guru and CEO of Della Femina, Rothschild, Jeary & Partners, a Manhattan-based ad agency, said Monday that even if the networks weren't aware that Jackson was going to bare her breast, CBS should have known what to expect.
"When CBS put these people on the halftime show, they had to know what they would get. They are screaming, 'This is terrible.' It's like Claude Rains discovering there's gambling at Rick's in Casablanca: 'I'm shocked, shocked.' For CBS it's a little too late."
Ross Sutherland, managing partner at Young & Rubicam in New York, said he was surprised there wasn't more talk about the ads. "It's a pretty slow news day when Janet Jackson's bosom gets all the PR. If I was an advertiser, I would struggle for better ads, not more bosoms. The answer is better thinking, not less breasts."
But not everyone was unhappy. TiVo Inc., which makes digital video recorders enabling instantaneous replay, said viewership of the revealing moment nearly doubled that of the rest of the broadcast, the biggest jump the company has ever measured.
"We have no say over halftime entertainment," said Jeff Kuhlman, spokesman for the Cadillac division of General Motors, which aired three spots during the game and was the official vehicle of the Super Bowl. "We think the NFL will do what's right for their brand. Quite frankly, we're very comfortable having our brand aligned with their brand."
Marketing experts say the controversy probably will result in increased interest in next year's Super Bowl broadcast, which happens to be scheduled on Fox, a network that has been known to take provocative steps.
And what about the NFL players eclipsed by halftime? What did Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady of the New England Patriots have to say about Jackson and the brouhaha?
No outrage from him. At a news conference Monday morning, he said, "I didn't see the halftime show (but) I heard about it." He added with a chuckle, "I wish I had seen it."

Re: Waiting for the new D7200 or jumping on the D7000 now?
In reply to philippe trougouboff • Feb 12, 2013
Waiting for a camera that may not appears seems pointless. You can also assume that any successor to the D7000 will be as much as twice as expensive as current D7000 street prices. Ask yourself if it's going to be twice as good - I would say it will not be anything like that good.
So a D7000 as todays prices is a real bargain for what you get, IMO.
If you are prepared to go as far as twice the price of a D7000 then a used D700 ( FX ) might be in reach.
Like the other poster I cannot imagine you being comfortable with a D5200 after a D90. You might get used to it, but I suspect you'd always have a nagging feeling you're missing something ( even if you don;t find you are missing some of the features ).

Improve brake performance and extend wear by using new high temperature grease to lubricate the moving parts. It dissipates heat better and won't degrade as rapidly.
Wipe ceramic grease onto brake pad abutments, pad slide hardware and inside the caliper's slide pin boots.
If you do your own brake jobs, chances are you've switched to the newer ceramic-style brake pads. They're much cleaner and quieter than semi metallic pads. But they don't dissipate heat as well, and that high heat can degrade the grease in caliper and pad slides. So it's critical that you use synthetic high-temp grease to lubricate the caliper pins, pad abutments and pad slide hardware.
Now there's a new type of grease made especially for ceramic brake pads (one choice is Permatex No. 24125 Ceramic Extreme Brake Lubricant; about $17 for 8 oz. through our affiliation with amazon.com). The high-temp lube contains ground-up ceramic particles that act like ball bearings to ensure proper caliper and pad movement. Apply it to all slide areas as shown.

Occupy Crackdowns Coordinated With Federal Law Enforcement Officials
16 November 11
ver the past ten days, more than a dozen cities have moved to evict "Occupy" protesters from city parks and other public spaces. As was the case in last night's move in New York City, each of the police actions shares a number of characteristics. And according to one Justice official, each of those actions was coordinated with help from Homeland Security, the FBI and other federal police agencies.
The official, who spoke on background to me late Monday evening, said that while local police agencies had received tactical and planning advice from national agencies, the ultimate decision on how each jurisdiction handles the Occupy protests ultimately rests with local law enforcement.
According to this official, in several recent conference calls and briefings, local police agencies were advised to seek a legal reason to evict residents of tent cities, focusing on zoning laws and existing curfew rules. Agencies were also advised to demonstrate a massive show of police force, including large numbers in riot gear. In particular, the FBI reportedly advised on press relations, with one presentation suggesting that any moves to evict protesters be coordinated for a time when the press was the least likely to be present.
The FBI has so far failed to respond to requests for an official response, and of the 14 local police agencies contacted in the past 24 hours, all have declined to respond to questions on this issue.
But in a recent interview with the BBC, Oakland Mayor Jean Quan mentioned she was on a conference call just before the recent wave of crackdowns began.
"I was recently on a conference call of 18 cities who had the same situation, where what had started as a political movement and a political encampment ended up being an encampment that was no longer in control of the people who started them."
At the time this story was updated, Mayor Quan's office had declined to discuss her comments.

If it was Eric Holder, then he needs to explain himself to President Obama. It it was Obama, then he needs to explain himself to the American people.
In any case, the decision maker(s) should resign. That includes President Obama.
The Occupy movement poses a threat to only those who believe the 1% is more important than the welfare of the 100%
Do the laws apply to 99% or to 100%?
Royalty is distinctly called out in the U.S. Constitution as not allowed.
Again, laws are for all or only 99%?
Obama's silence speaks, I fear.
It's time for full PUBLIC calling-out of Obama.
I hear nothing but acquiescence, lack of real will, just the lowest road possible.
Obama and E. placeHolder instruct Napolitano, who choreographs locals-this all proceeds from 9/11, incl robbing us.
Cowards, "men" of low and mean, dark, outlook and sentiment;beref t of ideas or even words so brutality rules.
They don't like the sunlight, these creatures, that run him.
But, their way is the old way of fear and ignorance; like reptiles.
LibLib is right; we must have a PUBLIC position by the Pres.
Make him say it out loud; or be damned by his silence, desire to cavil, or whatever makes him weak.
There are some things that ONLY the Pres. can do, esp. speak out loud to those who are against us, (or would he be talking to himself ?)
Will he ? Nope, would have done so at least after Scott Olsen got shot,NYC girls/84yr old grannies got peppered;Termin ator drone kills citizen for words alone.
We're being conditioned
Individual lawsuits by the thousands for OWS illegal police/gov't actions; maybe Congress. Local level, which is where we need to work anyway, especially when the breakdown comes.
Obama's gone to us. Save yourself about 11 months or so, and accept it now.
I don't think so.
Government of, by, and for the people?
I don't think so.
Faux democracy.
Faux freedoms.
Faux Bill of Rights
Faux justice.
Whose faux is it??
We have a top-down vertical hierarchy:
in the military...
in corporations...
in government...
Very few people call the shots and hold the rest in thrall by controlling jobs and paychecks. The fear, of course, is if you speak out you will lose your job and status.
This is the U.S. equivalent of being sent to Siberia.
Stop living in fear of your employer.
Stop living in fear of your government.
Stop being mythtified.
You are being lied to, intimidated and pushed around.
As many of the OWS folks will attest, freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.
Stand and (non-violently) resist or bend over and allow the hosing to continue.
Your choice, everyday.
The 1% have to take into consideration that if they use things like FEMA to get rid of the 99% they are going to be scrubbing their own toilets, mowing their own lawns, and trying to put their heels on the necks of one another.
Congress has decided to make war on its own people. Wake UP!
As are the twin charades of the Supercmte, and that 3rd rate carnival/roadsh ow of crazy liars; I am returning to things I was thinking about when I read Jim Marrs "Rule By Secrecy"-(DEBT and fear) these creatures are not immoral, but amoral; industrial psychopaths-chi ld abuse is but one their privileges, at their level.
I believe that the really big hammer is poised, until sufficient preparations have been made.
Internet, cell phones-they can and will be shut down; we will once again do what others before us had to do, for ,oh, about 3000 years.
I hope we find that we can still depend on each other, and Hope I'm wrong about our gov't.
Homeland Security or Fatherland Security?
Both terms are un-American. And that is not casting aspersions; it is fact. And both have got to go.

BeschreibungExcerpt from Zaidee, Vol. 1 of 3: A Romance
"Some call it the Uplands, sir, and some call it the Grange, - to us hereabouts it is nought but the Squire's house; that's the name"
Such would be the answer of the Cheshire peasant of whom you asked the designation of this old-established family dwelling-place: it is both the Uplands and the Grange in reality, but the Squire's house, its simplest and most common distinction, is sufficiently satisfactory. The scenery about is Cheshire scenery - nothing grand or elevated certainly, but, after its bare, bleak, windy fashion, wild enough to please a moderate taste for desolation.

Arsenal's festive fixtures could not have started better. Now Theo Walcott wants to keep spirits high with a win at Wigan.
The forward scored one goal and made another as Arsène Wenger's side registered a significant 3-1 victory over Chelsea at Emirates Stadium to kick off a run of four games in nine days in style.
That congested schedule concludes with another marquee home match against Manchester City next week but first Arsenal must head north to Wigan and then Birmingham - fixtures they took just one point from last season.
Walcott was beaming after Monday's win over Chelsea but he has called for focus ahead of Wednesday's clash with Roberto Martinez's side.
"We have to go on a run of wins," said the 21-year--old. "If you want to be champions and win the League you need to go to places like Wigan and win.
"We need to do it in every game. It's difficult to do throughout the whole 90 minutes but on Monday there was so much energy the whole team had [against Chelsea]. Come Wednesday we need to do that again because it's going to be tough.
"We lost there last season so we don't want to do that again. We have to travel a long distance to get there as well."
Arsenal currently lie in second place in the Premier League table, two points adrift of leaders Manchester United having played a game more. Walcott knows that the Christmas and New Year period gives the Gunners a chance to bridge that gap.
"The Christmas period is massive, it's so busy with so many games. A lot of points are dropped so we need to catch up by getting points," he said.
"They are big games [against Birmingham and Manchester City] but they're in the future at the moment so we'll just concentrate on Wednesday. We'll just keep on clocking up those points and not try and think that teams are going to help us out in some way.
"We're not too bothered about that, we just want to concentrate on ourselves."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Event Detail:
ACI`s World Elastomer Summit 2013 will provide in depth analysis of today fundamental shift of global C4 olefins and elastomers markets. Globally, trade patterns for butadiene and related products will continue to shift as production of end-use products relocate to developing countries, mainly to China.
The emergence of China and the rest of the developing world as significant players in the automotive markets is causing much of the rapid demand growth for Butadiene and its derivatives.
Butadiene & derivatives are growing faster than feedstock supply so alternative production sources are emerging as on purpose butadiene production will start to become a major market driver later in this decade.
Finally, the event will address the latest technological advancements of S-SBR, PBR EVA production and investigate the impact of tyre labelling on the synthetic rubber market as a result of a more performance conscious market.

H.R. 3849, The PIC and POPs Conventions and the LRTAP POPs Protocol Implementation Act
- This item is from the 109th Congress (2005-2006) and is no longer current. Comments, voting, and wiki editing have been disabled, and the cost/savings estimate has been frozen.
H.R. 3849 would amend the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act to authorize the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to implement pesticide-related provisions of three international environmental agreements: the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs Convention), the Protocol to the 1979 Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution for POPs (POPs Protocol to LRTAP), and the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade (PIC Convention). Those agreements are intended to help protect environmental and human health by eliminating or restricting the use of certain pesticides and to provide a means for participating countries to obtain and disseminate information about chemicals that may be imported and exported.

Restaurants in Tarrant County, hurt by the Great Recession, are beginning to roar back.
"We exceeded our opening expectations of 3,500 by serving 4,400 [customers] opening week," marveled Mike O'Donnell, manager of the new Bravo Cucina Italiana restaurant on South Hulen Street near Bellaire Drive. It's on the site of a failed upscale brewpub, The Covey, which in turn had replaced an all-you-can-eat salad chain. The building had been vacant since Sept 2010.
Adam Jones, owner of Grace, the white-tablecloth downtown eatery, felt the timing was right to expand across the street with a more casual gourmet concept, Little Red Wasp. It will open this fall at 808 Main St.
Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steak House, similarly, is readying a more affordable concept, Del Frisco's Grille, nearby at 154 E. 3rd. St. Earlier this year, Campisi's brought its take on pizzas and pasta over from Dallas to a spot on Camp Bowie.
Austin burrito specialist Torchy's Tacos has planted a Tarrant foothold, while Freebird's, also from the state capital, has continued to expand along with homegrown Fuzzy's Taco Shop and BoomerJack's Grill and Bar. Costa Vida, a "fresh" Mexican concept, from (this is not a misprint) Utah, has opened in Colleyville and is launching another location on Fort Worth's far north side. And there's Cane Rosso, the Dallas-based, Neapolitan-style pizzeria that had come to town periodically as a food truck and is now making over what had been Ryan's Fine Grocer and Delicatessen on West Magnolia Avenue.
"In 2008, we had too many restaurant seats," Jones said of the year the recession took hold. "It felt better in 2010, good in 2011; 2012 was pretty evenly solid and this year is a match of '12."
After a painful market correction, he said those that made it through the recession are in a good position to take advantage of the improving economy.
"The restaurants that have gone out of business are because of mismanagement, either in daily operations or they signed a bad lease," said Mike Micallef, president of Reata, the Sundance Square haute cowboy cuisine institution in Sundance Square.
While the restaurant trade is risky at the best of times, the downturn tested the viability of approaches. Notable among the concepts that have disappeared, or scaled way down, was The Vault, the Turkish restaurant Flying Carpet and the highly affordable Pancho's Mexican Buffet chain.
Tim Love's Trinity River location, The Woodshed, opened early last year and survived 2012's scorching summer, while his short-lived Love Shack on Bluebonnet Circle is being replaced by Fred's, the iconic hamburger purveyor.
The number of food service and drinking places in Tarrant County grew by just four restaurants, to 2,596 in 2008, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. At the end of 2012, that number had jumped to 2,926, a 12.7 percent gain.
Half of the increase came in 2012 alone, BLS figures show. Restaurant and bar employment ended last year at 67,647, up from 60,391 in 2009.
"There was no recession for us," insists Chuck Bush, who took a single-location Fuzzy's in 2008 and expanded it to 65 stores in 11 states. "What helped is our value points. People who were dining at higher-priced restaurants came down to us. They discovered what a value we were and stayed with us. So it was a good time for us. I would guess it wasn't a very pleasant time for a lot of other people."
Bush's plan was to keep Tarrant County locations all company-owned, while franchising other territories. There are now eight Fuzzy's in Tarrant County, including a part-time outlet at Texas Motor Speedway that serves at five events a year.
The right mix
The Hulen location was a no-brainer for Bravo Cucina Italiana, said Saed Mohseni,, CEO of Bravo Brio Restaurant Group, based in Columbus, Ohio. He insists it was this area's demographics, not economic timing, that swayed him after spending four years fruitlessly sniffing out locations in or near Sundance Square.
"We had a couple of Brio [Tuscan Grille restaurants] in North Texas already, Southlake and Allen, so we're familiar with the market," said Mohseni, referring to the chain's Italian steak-centered concept. Brio and Bravo restaurants, with main courses ranging up to $29 and $20 respectively, fall into the "polished casual" category, sort of what P.F. Chang's China Bistro is to Asian fusion, he said.
"We always felt Fort Worth has the right demographics and household income and doesn't have as many higher-end restaurants as in Dallas, with the exception of Sundance Square," he said. "And looking throughout the country, we think Fort Worth is definitely a market at times that is underserved in this category."
His idea of the right area profile is a median household income of about $70,000, with a daytime population of 50,000 workers and 130,000 residents in a 5-mile radius. The area near the new Trader Joe's on South Hulen, including the Tanglewood neighborhood, fits that model, Mohseni said. "We felt it was a good first step in Fort Worth."
Unlike many chains, Brio didn't stop growing during the downturn. Eight opened in 2008, seven in 2009, five in 2010, eight in 2011, nine in 2012, and this year there will be eight openings, he said, explaining: "I wasn't smart enough to recognize recession was going on."
The 7,800-square-foot location on South Hulen cost roughly $2 million, including remodeling, he said. No two Brio and Bravo restaurants are exactly alike, with each designed in-house, mainly by one of the founding brothers.
Brandon Norrell, a vice president at Buxton Co., which among other things advises chains on site selection, said Bravo may soon be joined by other out-of-town concepts looking seriously at Tarrant County and nearby counties. He cited two Austin pan-Asian chains, Mama Fu's and How Do You Roll custom sushi, along with Hopdoddy Burger Bar, which already has a Dallas store.
"The area almost qualifies as underserved," Norrell said.

An electrical fault in a fluorescent light fitting caused the fire that extensively damaged the Fisher Aluminium factory in Gisborne last month.
The fire service said it serves as a reminder for anyone with this lighting to make regular checks.
Fire broke out in a storage area at the rear of the aluminium factory at 7.20am on February 13.
Quick work by firemen and favourable winds stopped it spreading to the adjoining Traue timber joinery factory.
Fisher Aluminium is at the rear of the timber joinery factory.
Fire investigator Derek Goodwin said the owner's insurers had called in an electrical expert from Auckland to make an analysis of the building's electrical systems.
"The electrical fault with the fluorescent fitting was his finding," Mr Goodwin said.
The ballast, or capacitor, of a fluorescent tube holds the power that feeds the light.
On rare occasions it can overheat, then go on to cause problems.
"It appears that has happened in this case," Mr Goodwin said.
The light fitting overheated the day before the fire and caused the timber ceiling material above it to start smouldering, Mr Goodwin said.
"The light was switched off overnight but when a staff member opened the door into the storage area next morning, the inrush of fresh air caused the smouldering timber to ignite."
Fisher Aluminium manager Kath Kitchen said they were relieved to have a cause finally established.
The fire service makes several recommendations when it comes to fluorescent lights.
"Good housekeeping is important for them - regular checks of the lights operation and good general maintenance," Mr Goodwin said.
That can mean keeping dust off them, and ensuring that nothing is stacked too close to them, he said.
"Sometimes a smell can be generated by overheating and it's best to call in a qualified electrician when that occurs."
If in doubt, call the fire service.
"We can quickly identify which light may be causing an issue, by using specialist equipment," Mr Goodwin said.
Firemen use temperature probes or thermal imaging to get to the source of the problem.
Nationally, on average there are between five and seven reports of fluorescent lights causing fires each year, Mr Goodwin said.
In 2008, there was a recall of ballasts from fluorescent lights made that year.
"It is unlikely the Traue fire would have been affected by the recall, because their lights were installed back in the 1990s," he said.
"People need to understand there are perhaps millions of these lights in New Zealand. Only a very few fail."

It's a fickle world. And, believe it or not, Lambrusco is making a comeback.
This Italian fizz — wildly popular in the 1970s — has become something of a joke among serious wine drinkers. But like bell bottoms and paisley shirts, Lambrusco might merit reconsideration.
One person cheering Lambrusco on — at least in the hipper, drier versions that are beginning to show up in the Milwaukee area — is Sabina Magyar, who for the past three years has been beverage and cheese manager at Glorioso's Italian Market.
Thanks to Magyar's efforts, the popular Brady St. store has one of the best selections in town, with about a dozen different Lambruscos, ranging from sweet to dry, and priced from about $7 to $20.
Magyar, who grew up in Milwaukee, doesn't quite remember the jingle — "Riunite on ice — so nice" — but like most of us she had the impression that this Italian wine was "sweet and inexpensive, kind of like white Zinfandel," she said
At riunite.com, you'll be reminded that in 1976, Riunite Lambrusco became the top-selling imported wine in the United States and held onto that position for 26 years.
The Lambrusco that's longing to be loved today is not the sweetie-sweet iteration that was a gateway to wine for a generation of Americans.
But rather it's the drier, more traditionally styled beverage that's beloved in Italy's Emilia-Romagna region. At its best, it's both fruity and earthy, and pleasantly acidic and slightly bitter.
For Magyar, who worked in New York City in the wine business for about a decade, the "aha moment" came maybe six years ago in Brooklyn at a popular Italian restaurant — Franny's — that was serving dry Lambrusco.
"It was delicious, especially with food," she said. "It was a style of Lambrusco most people in this country just weren't familiar with."
This frothy red is considered to be a classic accompaniment for Parmesan cheese and prosciutto, which, like the wine, are from Emilia-Romagna.
And Lambrusco easily flexes to be a good match for other fatty and salty favorites like, say, the food we eat at Thanksgiving, Magyar noted.
"The fruitiness goes with the diversity of flavors on the table. And the sparkles are festive and refreshing," she said.
But because some family members might still snicker about Lambrusco, her advice is to have other wine choices available, as well.
"Who has just one wine on the table at Thanksgiving?" she joked.
At Ristorante Bartolotta in Wauwatosa, manager and wine director Todd Hasselbacher agrees that Lambrusco, at least the ones that avoid cloying sweetness, can be a good choice for Thanksgiving.
"I'm a big fan of Lambrusco and I've actually taken it to Thanksgiving," he said.
The traditional dry Lambrusco he has on the restaurant's wine list — the Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco del Fondatore — "has been really popular."
As beleaguered Lambrusco shakes off its "bad name," he thinks wine drinkers will start to see it as "something new and exciting — and a really good value."
He says that "nothing is more traditional" than to sit down to a board of cured meats and cheeses with Lambrusco, but because of its acidity and effervescence, it also goes with "comfort foods like those served at Thanksgiving."
Shoppers may find that the labels are confusing, so Magyar offered a few deciphering tips:
■ Lambrusco refers to both the grape and the wine made from the grape. Among the many sub-varieties of Lambrusco are grasparossa and sorbara, which are two top-quality strains of Lambrusco that you'll often see reflected on labels.
■ Price is a clue. At retail, expect to pay between $13 and $20 for better-quality examples.
■ One of the beauties of Lambrusco is that it comes in a range of styles. Helpful terms include secco for dry, amabile for off-dry or semi-sweet, and dolce for sweet.
■ An easy way to spot a good choice is by producer — and both Magyar and Hasselbacher give the thumbs up to Cleto Chiarli, which lays claim to being the oldest producer of Lambruso in Emilia-Romagna.

Tasting notes
I've recently tried a number of Lambruscos and here are five of my favorites:
Medici Ermete Quercioli Lambrusco Reggiano, Secco, NV. About $11 a bottle.
Gulp it at Thanksgiving or any other time you want a smooth, irresistible red. It's earthy, dry and slightly effervescent.
Cavicchioli & Figli "Vigna del Cristo," Lambrusco di Sorbara, 2011. About $20 a bottle.
This one is atypical with its light red color and fine, subtle bubbles. It's rather restrained in flavor and altogether dry. Try it with prosciutto and you'll become a convert.
Cleto Chiarli Pruno Nero, Extra Dry, Lambrusco de Modena, NV. About $16 a bottle.
It's deep red, full-bodied and has just a spot of residual sweetness. It's a delicious, exuberant introduction to Lambrusco.
Cleto Chiarli, Vecchia Modena, Premium, Lambrusco de Sorbara, 2012. About $17 a bottle.
A lovely, vibrant example of the sorbara strain of the Lambrusco grape. It's quite dry and has a floral aroma. A good choice for Thanksgiving.
Cleto Chiarli Grasparossa de Castelvetro Amabile "Centenario." About $12 a bottle.
A likable, semi-sweet bottle of froth. It boasts refreshing acidity and the flavor of fresh grapes.

Technical Abstract: Wind erosion is a serious problem in many parts of the world especially in arid and semiarid regions. It physically removes from the field the most fertile portion of soil. Soil from damaged land enters suspension and becomes part of the atmospheric dust load. Dust obscures visibility and pollutes the air, causes automobile accident, fouls machinery, and imperial animal and human health. Aeolian sediments also pollute water bodies and cause associated problems. Following the disastrous "Dust Bowl" in the United States, the U.S. Department of Agriculture started an intensive research program on wind erosion in cooperation with Kansas State University. Their stated mission is to increase understanding of wind erosion processes, develop reliable predictive tools, develop control practices, and transfer technology for sustaining agriculture, protecting the environment and conserving natural resources. The predictive tools of the Wind Erosion Equation and Wind Erosion Prediction System have been used to help identify highly erodible lands and planning of conservation practices on those lands. Programs and practices that have been effective for reducing wind erosion include: Shelterbelt Project, Conservation Reserve Program, Environmental Quality Incentives Program, Conservation Security Program, National Grasslands, and No-till on the Plains. Research, implemented conservation programs, and improved farming practices have greatly lessoned the likelihood and severity of a "Dust Bowl" reoccurrence.

First Amendment Center
The "right of the people … to petition the Government for a redress of grievances," the last freedom of the First Amendment, is the most forgotten freedom.
Each year when the First Amendment Center commissions its State of the First Amendment survey, petition is the freedom few can name (only 6 percent in 2010).
Why is the right of petition the forgotten freedom when it has deep historical roots?
Ahh, Christmas.
When I was a child, it was all about decorations and presents.
Back then, in the days before Christmas, I sometimes would fall asleep on the couch beside the Christmas tree and its twinkling lights.
There I would dream of all the gift possibilities.
The truth is, I did not then nor have I ever gotten a Christmas present that knocked my socks off.
My parents seemed at a loss when choosing gifts for me.

Electronics are once again dominating holiday shopping lists this season.
In fact, analysts with the Consumer Electronics Association predict shoppers will spend 6 percent more on electronics this year compared to last – or about $250 per consumer.
And for every new laptop, tablet, phone, TV, gaming system and scores of other gadgets, an outdated device likely will be replaced. For those old electronics, the question is, "Now what?"
First off, do not throw replaced electronics in the trash.
Dear Santa Claus:
While you have not heard from your friend, the old curmudgeon, in many-a-year, he wishes to join in the requests for your generosity you receive each year from the children and simple folk the world over.
Santa, if your sack can hold them, please bring to the people of America the following gifts:
Bring them a Supreme Court that has the commonsense to know that the Founding Fathers did not have in mind the spending of money when they guaranteed the right of free speech.
At the top of the stairs in my uncle's house, a dusty bobcat once stood guard.
It was stuffed — taxidermied — its lips drawn back in a frozen snarl, and its big feet braced for a fight it had already lost.
In my growing-up years, this silent siren had the power to draw me and my cousins in fascination en masse up the staircase — and, when we were alone with it, to repel us in fear.
Bobcats still exist in the wild, although I have never seen one.
Some creatures simply are no more.
It seems we're all busy people, but for me, this past week has been a full-tilt blur.
Let me summarize — if I can remember it all:
• Monday: Three newspaper meetings (a fourth was canceled), a quick run to the dermatologist in Knoxville for a look at a sun-damaged spot on my nose and then a CASA race committee meeting after work, followed by a post-sundown walk with the yahoos (my dogs).
Taking part in a scavenger hunt has always sounded like fun.
Taking part in a scavenger hunt that breaks a world record and has the potential of winning world class trip sounds even better.
Not only do the participants get a chance to help break the world record, which is cool in itself, but also winners will go to Rome, which for me would be my first visit outside the United States.
It's the little things you take for granted — things like walking your dogs.
After several days of soaking rain, my dogs were looking at me accusingly, as if I had intentionally flipped a switch that brought on the precipitation that kept us inside. They don't realize I want and need the exercise as much as they do.
You know, gentle reader, the longer we live the more we become convinced that the Founding Fathers should have made it one of the prerequisites of being President of these United States that all candidates there for must be foundlings.
In our own time we have seen how John F. Kennedy's presidency was shaped and moulded by the influence of his father, Ambassador Joe Kennedy.
Photojournalist Katie Hogin finally has succumbed to one of the hazards of her job — having a tender heart.
After months of going to the county animal shelter to take pictures of adoptable dogs and cats, she finally gave in and took one home herself.
Katie fell for an unusally marked kitten she has given the name of Oliver.
The moniker suits the scrawny little fellow, although we're sure Ollie will soon fill out and be the strong, happy feline that cats with good forever homes generally grow up to be.

American General DES Life Insurance Company Trying to cash out old policies being hit with advertising instead. Houston Texas
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I have been paying on two life insurance policies for a total of 55 years. My needs having changed, I attempted to research the status of these policies. There are a number of barriers to doing this in a straighforward manner. 1.Apparently the Company is reluctant to go down on paper and so ignores their own e-mail contact mechanism.
2. Telephone contact with their New York (and not Houston) office revealed that the policy numbers have been changed since my last contact in 2007 making it appear that they did not exist. I informed that they DO exist to the point that American General DES ahs been extracting money from my bank account each month since 1961 on one police and 1978 on the other. I finally obtained an admission that the policies exist and not wishing to go through this process again asked about terminating them and obtaining a cash value. I was given the surrender values of these polidies and the understanding that these are the amounts that would be sent to me upon request. I declined excess tax withholding and did not stipulate overnight delivery at extra expense.
I have received no written confirmation of the above transactions. It appears that the policies went through a process of termination (web page) but the only communication I have received from American General DES have been Billings for the policies and advertisements for still more insurance policies. These arrive on an almost daily basis.
I am wondering if American General Life Insurance has a policy that they conduct business of this sort through litigation rather than transparent adherence to the letter of their policies. There is vague language in their fax window regarding possibly not actually surrendering the full value of the policies- a circumstance that would pretty much guarantee routinely answering lawsuits.
