Will Zelda – the name of F Scott Fitzgerald's wife, become popular now The Great Gatsby is out in cinemas? Will North gain traction with regular folk after Kimye (
A child's name can tell us something about their parents, race, social standing, even their politics. But is your name really your destiny? Prospective parents wrestle with this topic, often feeling paralysed like a deer in headlights, trying to figure out a name that will set their child apart but is not too bizarre or too classic. On trend, but not common.
The "great name debate" has become front and centre in my house for my first-born child – due in a few months. Naming your child has become big business, with websites including Nameberry, apps such as Baby Nametrix, books, consultants pushing out this and last year's trends and considering correlations between baby names and future success. What was once seen as a relatively simple action has become somewhat of a "personal branding" exercise.
So, does a name spell power and are there monikers that will land your child in the C-suite?
Online professional networking site LinkedIn evaluated more than 100 million user profiles to come up with a list of the top names for chief executives around the world in 2011. It may seem silly that a name could correlate to eventually getting the top job, but the results are still interesting.
Deborah is a winner
The most common names for males were: Peter, Bob, Jack, Bruce, Fred, Bill, Ron, Christian, Alexander and Don. The most common names among female CEOs were: Deborah, Sally, Debra, Cynthia, Carolyn, Pamela, Ann, Cheryl, Linda and Janet.
Dalton Conley – a New York University sociologist who named his two children, E (daughter) and Yo (son) as part of a life experiment – thinks who you turn out to be may be related to what you are called when you are born.
"Of course it's hard to separate out cause and effect here – until Kim Jong-un allows me to randomly assign all the names of the North Korean kids . . . But my gut tells me that it does affect who you are and how you behave – and probably makes you more creative to have an unusual name," he said in a recent Freakonomics Radio podcast.
Celebrities have no problem donning their kids with all kinds of unusual names. Who could forget
TV shows also have a big influence on names. Game of Thrones is putting its stamp on the next generation with 146 baby girls named Khaleesi in the US in 2012, a 450 per cent jump on 2011, according to Nameberry.
The name means "queen" in the Dothraki language – made up by the author of the books, George R R Martin.
Jack still popular
In Australia, the most popular baby names in 2012 for boys were still pretty traditional, with Jack the No. 1 name in Victoria, Qld, SA, and the ACT, while William was top in NSW, NT, and Tasmania. Noah topped the list in Western Australia, according to McCrindle Research. Charlotte was the top choice for girls in 2012, with 47 occurrences more than Ruby, which was followed by Lilly/Lily.
At my high school in California in the 1990s, there were a slew of Amys, Michelles, Jennifers, Mikes and Jeffs. I was nearly named Zoe, but, with a flip of a coin was instead called Carrie, after Carrie Nation who emerged as one of the more famous women in the US temperance movement. Even if you look outside the Top 1000 names list and find a unique gem, it might not remain yours for long given the internet and changing tastes.
With more professional couples having smaller families today, there is added pressure to make the name count . And is it even acceptable to name your child the same name as others in your circle of friends?
Cultural norms must be considered. When I brought up Hugo as a popular Aussie name, my mother promptly said: "Why would you name your child after [late Venezuelan president] Hugo Chavez?!"
We've not even broached middle names, which are, apparently, the quirkier the better and include the likes of Bear and Dangerous.
Let's just say my husband and I are taking baby steps, and still trying to agree on the first name.

His mind was on other things than the court (he had white line fever of a different kind), but legends are mortal and Kemp still contributed, so we don't want to pretend this period of his career never happened. Nor does Reebok, so they've dressed up a Kamikaze II Mid in the colours of Portland's pride. It's black, red, white and concrete all over the upper and side slash and it's icy cold down below on the outsole – looks tight with denim too.

Chuck Hollis' article on New Security Thinking For A New World mentioned the following very important comment:
"The latest challenge on the security front isn't necessarily an exotic new threat vector: it's the attackers themselves. They're organized, well-resourced and patient. And there's no silver technology bullet to effectively combat them."
This is a very important point, and one that I have seen at other security conferences for the last 5 years or so. However, attacks are possible because there is a lack of confidentiality and integrity of the data held within the systems under attack. So the system becomes the week point.

The sign language interpreter used at Nelson Mandela's football stadium memorial was a fake, it was claimed this morning.
Braam Jordaan, a deaf South African and board member of the World Deaf Federation, said he believes the interpreter was making up signs as he went along.
"The structure of his hand, facial expressions and the body movements did not follow what the speaker was saying", Mr Jordaan said.
Mr Jordaan claimed the man, who signed for a portion of the ceremony including Barack Obama's speech, was simply making up his own signs.
"I was really upset and humiliated", he told the SBS news website, "He made up his own signs.
"What happened at the memorial service is truly disgraceful thing to see - it should not happen at all.
"What happened today will be forever aligned with Nelson Mandela & Deaf Community, thanks to this fake interpreter."
Defenders of the man, whose identity has not yet been disclosed, have claimed that he was signing in South Africa's Zulu language.
But deaf campaigners said sign language is not based on a spoken language and such there can be no such thing as "Zulu" Sign Language
South Africa has just one sign language, which recognises all regional dialects.
A South African government spokesman said they were aware of complaints about the man and are investigating.
Professor Bencie Woll, director of Deafness Cognition and Language (DCAL) Research Centre based at UCL, said: "There's no such thing as signing in Zulu. It's like saying someone is speaking French in English. Sign languages are independent languages with their own grammar and structure. What he was doing looked extremely odd. There has been almost universal agreement among deaf South Africans they did not recognise it."
South Africa's deaf community has previously raised concerns about the young black male interpreter, who has been used at a number of African National Congress events.
When he appeared on stage next to the speakers yesterday, Wilma Newhoudt-Druchen, the first deaf woman to be elected to the South African Parliament tweeted: "ANC-linked interpreter on the stage with dep president of ANC is signing rubbish. He cannot sign. Please get him off."
South African Sign Language interpreter Francois Deysel said on Twitter that the interpreter was "making a mockery of our profession".
Mr Jordaan says there have been question marks over the same interpreter at previous ANC events.
The World Association of Sign Language Interpreters (WASLI), Sheena Walters, also said the sign language used was not recognisable as any accepted form of international or South African sign language.
"It seems quite obvious that the interpreter isn't using South African sign language", she told SBS.
"Most sign languages across the world share a similar structure and pattern and this person seems to be making a lot of repetitive signs and isn't displaying the usual facial expression or structure of sign language that you would normally see."
Deaf news blog The Limping Chicken said the interpreter signed with a "strange repetitive rhythm to his movements", and "the structure of his hand and body movements didn't seem to change no matter what the speaker was saying".

text: Norma W. Bredesen Norma Walborn Bredesen, 91, died peacefully on Dec. 18, 2012, at her home in Shortsville. Mrs. Bredesen was born Norma Lucille Walborn on July 28, 1921, in Shortsville to Milton and Janet (Evans) Walborn. She graduated from Shortsville High School in 1939 and was named Ontario County Apple Blossom Queen that year. She worked at Grand Bag and Paper Company in Shortsville and as a secretary in Newark until her marriage to Army captain Philip Norman Bredesen of Seneca Castle in 1942. The couple lived in Atlanta, Ga., Canandaigua and Boston, Mass., until they were divorced in 1951. She then returned to Shortsville with her two children and worked as a teller and later as assistant manager at the State Bank of Shortsville (Security Trust Company after 1956) until retirement in 1984. She also served as the part-time treasurer for Red Jacket Central School District from 1961 until 1973. In a volunteer capacity, she served as the Ontario County United Way chairman of special gifts from 1957 to 1961 and was active in First Presbyterian Church of Shortsville for many years, including three terms as elder. She served for many years with the National Association of Banking Women, American Institute of Banking (1978 to 1982 as president of the Finger Lakes Chapter) and Ontario County Bankers Association (board member from 1974 to 1981). She was active in many school-related activities while her children attended. She leaves a son and daughter-in-law, Philip Bredesen Jr. and Andrea Conte of Nashville, Tenn. Mr. Bredesen was the governor of Tennessee from 2003 until 2011. Her son, Dean Lynn Bredesen, lived in Shortsville and predeceased her in 2005. For the past several years, her granddaughter, Kelly Trautman of Shortsville, was her constant companion and was with her when she passed away. In addition to Kelly, she had six other grandchildren, Vicky Bredesen of Shortsville, Brandy Bredesen of Manchester, Dean and Erik Bredesen of Farmington, Benjamin Bredesen of Nashville and Adam Bredesen of Conklin, N.Y. She had 11 great-grandchildren. She also leaves two siblings, Milton Duane ("Pete") Walborn of Clifton Springs and Barbara Broomfield of Clinton, N.Y. She was predeceased by eight other siblings, John Willard Walborn of Columbia, S.C. and Margaret Brown, Naomi Oswalt, Elizabeth "Betty" Draper, Archibald Walborn, Jean Walborn, Phyllis Burden and Gail Walborn, all of Shortsville. Services will be held on Saturday, December 22, at 2 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church of Shortsville, followed by interment of her ashes in Brookside Cemetery, Shortsville. A reception will follow at her home at 111 West Main St., Shortsville. For decades, Norma Bredesen was well known and highly respected in the Shortsville area and beyond; and the way she conducted her life serves as a model to us all.

Struggling for workers' rights in Sri Lanka
Malani: My life as a garment worker making Adidas sportswear
Malani* has worked for an Adidas supplier in Sri Lanka for the last three years. She makes Adidas t-shirts and three-quarter length trousers. Malani is an active trade unionist. This is her story...
'I wake up at about 4.00am, so I don't have to queue for the well. This is the only place we have to bathe at my boarding house. There's no bathroom or private space.
'I leave for work at about 6.00am. When I leave and when I get home, it's pitch dark and as you can see, there's no lighting on the path from the road to the boarding house, so it doesn't feel very safe.
'I start work at 7.00am. I work as a 'jumper', which means I have to operate different machines and work on different parts of the garment production process (1). For example, sewing a collar onto a t-shirt or stitching a 'top-line' [double hem] around the top of a t-shirt. I spend a lot of time sitting down in my job, and after 20 years of being a garment worker, I suffer with chronic back pain. We do get breaks - I get a 10-minute tea break in the morning and afternoon, and half an hour for lunch.
'I finish work at 6.00pm - which includes two hours overtime. I work five days a week and sometimes at weekends. I have to work overtime and some weekends to make ends meet.
'I get home from work at about 6.40pm. I might tidy up and do some washing. I don't usually cook an evening meal - I have a glass of milk instead, to save money. My basic wage is Rs9,600 (£56) per month. I didn't realise I get Rs700 (£4) extra for being a jumper (2). With overtime - I take home about Rs13,965 (£79.60) a month (3). I'm the main breadwinner for my family and send home about Rs7,000 (£40) each month. My family lives in the countryside, about 135Km from me, and my father is a farmer. I migrated here to find work. But, one of my relatives hasn't been very well recently, so I've been going home every weekend to see them. I never go out socially, because I can't afford it, and I've never been to the cinema.
'At work, there is a code of conduct (4) displayed in Sinhala, Tamil and English, and it clearly states that the right to freedom of association should be respected. But there is no trade union in my factory. I think workers are too frightened to join a union, fearing they will be sacked.
'At my last factory, some of us were members of the Free Trade Zones and General Services Employees Trade Union (FTZ&GSEU). Initially there was no union in the factory, but with pressure from some sourcing brands, a union branch was set up. But, my involvement in union activities led to me being victimized by my managers and I was eventually suspended from work. The FTZ&GSEU filed a complaint, but the company closed down before this was resolved.
'I'm still very involved in FTZ&GSEU activities. I'm often busy speaking at workshops, rallies and seminars - I think it's really important that workers know about their rights, and what unions can do to help us win better pay and working conditions.'
You can support the struggles of workers like Malani for Decent Work by getting involved in the Playfair 2012 campaign and taking the action which calls on Adidas, Nike and Pentland (makers of Speedo) to pay a living wage; respect the right to form/join a union, have no forced overtime, and provide job security.
*The worker interviewed did not want her real name to be used. This interview was carried out by the TUC and FTZ&GSEU in Sri Lanka as part of a joint project.
(1) A 'jumper' is considered a highly skilled position requiring knowledge of how to operate different machinery involved in the production process. There are different grades relating to this position.
(2) Malani's pay slip is in English and has a number of different items listed on it. She did not understand how here salary was calculated until this interview.
(3) A living wage in Sri Lanka has been estimated at around Rs23,500 (£130). On a basic wage of Rs9,600, Malani and her family would have to survive on around $2.92 a day; the UN global poverty line is $2 a day. Adidas sales reached record levels of £10.6 billion in 2011, and Herbert Hainer, the company's CEO received a compensation package of £4.3 million in 2010. Malani would have to work for 6,000 years to earn what Mr. Hainer earned in one year.
(4) Malani is referring to Adidas' code of conduct on workplace standards.

Please Pass the Salt
We've all seen it happen. Someone will ask to have the salt passed to them without even tasting the food. This is not uncommon for those who have grown up in families where the common cooking technique involved boiling. Something is needed to "wake up" the dish.
So why use salt?
Salt has been used throughout history to both flavor and preserve foods. Salt is essential for all living creatures to thrive. It helps the body maintain appropriate levels of moisture as well as the critical chemo-electrical function in the body such as the sodium/potassium balance required for the heart to function. However, in excessively large quantities, salt like anything else, may be unhealthy for you.
Salt plays an important role in our taste experience as "saltiness" is one of the main taste receptors in our mouths. Salt stimulates the receptors in the tongue to fire faster. Try this. Take about 1/8 cup of low sodium chicken broth and taste it at room temperature. It tastes rather boring. Now add and dissolve a small pinch of salt and you have a very different tasting experience, without it tasting salty. This same holds true for baked goods. If you inadvertently leave the salt out of a bread recipe, you will have one extremely bland and uninteresting tasting bread.
One of the mantras I drill into my students is "It you can taste the salt, you added too much." Salt should be added to accentuate or heighten the taste experience, not be the primary flavor. Exceptions include salted nuts, parmesan cheese, French fries, etc. Salt should be added at the end of the cooking process to achieve the final balance to a dish. If a recipe calls for salt, add only half during the process, and finish as needed. When baking, add salt when the recipes states.
I like to control the amount of salt in my foods. Therefore, I make every reasonable attempt to purchase low-sodium products when reaching for processed foods.
So what do I use as my salt in foods? Sometimes nothing if I am adding other salt-laden ingredients such as parmesan cheese into my risotto. Remember, many of our processed foods already have plenty of salt in them so you may not need to add any. However, if I do add salt I do NOT use iodized salt as I do not like that metallic aftertaste commonly found in the big blue container. I recommend the following salts for most applications: Redmond Trading Company's "Real Salt," Kosher salt and a few ridiculously expensive specialty salts like Himalayan pink salt. The important thing is to use quality ingredients when cooking and that includes using quality salt as well.
Next week, we will look at some other flavoring ingredients essential for every pantry. In the meantime, I will be munching on my salted sunflower seeds, jerky and salted caramel.
Chef David Hall

US Tax Leader Mark Mendola and PwC Intern Lauren Napleton
US Public Policy Leader Laura Cox Kaplan and PwC Intern Marcos Melendez
Bob Moritz – US Chairman & Senior Partner
Both Maddy (left) and Victoria (right), PwC winter interns, traveled to NYC to spend the entire day with PwC's US Chairman and Senior Partner, Bob Moritz.
After leaving the NYC office, Maddy shares, "I learned about the PwC Global Network in a lot more detail than I had ever heard of before and about all the effort our leaders put into logistics and coordination to make that network one of the strongest in the world. I found it unbelievable to learn about how many incredible projects the firm is involved with that aren't widely known. As an Assurance intern off the University of Texas campus, I know PwC for its high quality audit and tax services, but after my USLT experience, I'm excited to have interned with a firm involved with so much more than that."
Victoria, a Tax intern from the PwC Boston office, expresses her thoughts on the whole experience: "When I came back to my home office, interns and other employees asked me how the experience was; I found it difficult to put my impression into words. The experience was one that I could never have imagined would be as impactful as it was. I told some of the interns that I closely work with that Bob is a normal guy who that handles responsibility well. I think that visiting Bob and meeting many other members of leadership helped me realize how big PwC is, and how many strategic issues there are on not only a day-to-day basis, but the myriad of topics that are changing hourly. Even a few days after the shadowing, I still find it difficult to adequately describe how fortunate I am to be part of this firm.
Rob Gittings – US Marketing & Sales Leader
Christian (pictured middle), a Tax intern from the PwC Detroit office, and Robert (pictured left), an Assurance intern from the PwC Denver office, shadowed PwC's Marketing & Sales Leader and Vice Chair, Rob Gittings, for a day in the NYC office.
After the experience, Christian shares that, "Although I will leave the experience changed in ways that are hard to articulate, what I walked away with is much grander in scale than my individual experience. PwC is not just a firm of rhetoric or a firm of saying the right things to gain a PR victory. Witnessing PwC values implemented in every action and decision was inspirational, but not in the sense I expected. Instead of leaving New York trying to be the next Gordon Gekko, I left with the motivation to make the world a better place. With the leadership, people, and resources at PwC, I couldn't picture a better place to achieve that goal."
Robert expressed that, "Before I knew it we were at the end of our experience and Christian and I were being chauffeured to LaGuardia Airport to catch our flights home. Truly this was an experience neither of us wanted to end. In the car, we discussed the immensity of our opportunity and how much we truly learned in just eight short hours. I must admit this was the highlight of my internship and great way to start my career with PwC."
Bill Cobourn - US Markets & Sectors Leader
Andrew Lief, a Risk Assurance intern from the New York Metro market, had the opportunity to spend a day with Bill Cobourn, the US Market and Sectors Leader, in the New York office. He shares that "the experience provided me with a unique opportunity to get a closer look at the leadership that makes PwC the top professional services firm. I quickly learned that Bill arrives at work every day by 6am to get an early update on the 20 markets and 16 sectors that he oversees. Throughout our time together, Bill spoke with passion about his career, and listened carefully to what everyone had to share. Bill's sincere attention to my questions, and the candidness of his responses, allowed for a discussion that was both meaningful and thought provoking."
Carol Sawdye - US Chief Financial Officer
Assurance interns, Cristiano Gomes and Shelby Pelletier, met Carol Sawdye, the US Chief Financial Officer, for an exciting day in New York City. Cristiano, an intern from the Florida market, observed during the day that "PwC is a firm that is positively different from the others. The CEO and partners are completely accessible for anyone inside the firm. Also, I observed that PwC adapts to the situation that the world, as a whole, is facing now. It is excellent for everyone: clients get a better service, and PwC employees get an updated and better understanding about the globe." Shelby, an intern from the Northeast market, remarked that "Carol is one of the most inspiring and talented individuals I have ever met. The way she leads by example and truly understands the situation from another person's perspective is something I will always take with me. Carol's enduring optimism is another quality that makes her such a desirable role model. She views each situation as an opportunity rather than an obstacle and is always willing to embrace a challenge. I truly admire Carol's values, energy, and extraordinary leadership capabilities. Overall, after spending the day with Carol, I felt extremely motivated and excited about what my future holds."

Jimmy Fallon Impersonates Taylor Swift in 'Voice' Parody
Would you have rather seen Taylor Swift perform at the Super Bowl halftime show, rather than Madonna? Taylor Swift thought so, too … or rather, comedian and 'Late Night' host Jimmy Fallon dressed as Taylor Swift. Here he is, in full Taylor-drag — blond ringlets, cute dress, shiny lipstick, guitar and all — parodying Taylor's hit, 'You Belong With Me,' for the country superstar's mock-audition for 'The Voice.' Watch the hilarious clip below, as "she" sings, "You should have gone with me!"
What's drag-Taylor got over pop icon Madge? Well, according to Jimmy's rewritten lyrics: "She wears pointy bras / I wear glitter / Says she's 'Like a Virgin' / But I beg to differ."
The real Taylor has been busy promoting the Grammy Awards by beatboxing with hip-hop legend LL Cool J, along with several more funny commercials promoting Sunday's (Feb. 12) live broadcast. The 22-year-old singer is up for three of the coveted gold gramophones this year: Country Album of the Year for 'Speak Now,' along with Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance for 'Mean.'
The 54th annual Grammy Awards air live from Los Angeles, Feb. 11 at 8:00 PM ET on CBS.

A team of British and French archaeologists have entered a labyrinth of tunnels under the Somme Battlefield in northern France that have been untouched for almost 100 years. The tunnels are the deepest that have been discovered in the area and were dug so that troops could lay explosives below enemy lines.

Lowell men facing drug charges following traffic stop
WORCESTER, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) – Two Lowell residents are facing numerous drug charges after a state trooper pulled them over for speeding and discovered bags of drugs believed to be cocaine and heroin inside the car.
Mass. State Police stopped a Dodge sedan for speeding on Interstate 290 at about 2:55 a.m. Tuesday.
During the course of the stop, three bags of narcotics believed to be cocaine and heroin were found, as well as a sum of money believed to be proceeds from the sale of narcotics.
After a brief altercation, both the driver, 31-year-old Jessie Supernault, and his passenger, 33-year-old Laveneur Jackson, were placed under arrest.
Supernault was charged with trafficking in cocaine, trafficking in heroin/morphine/opium, conspiracy to violate drug law, and speeding.
Jackson was charged with trafficking in cocaine, trafficking in heroin/morphine/opium, conspiracy to violate drug law, possession of a Class B substance (subsequence offense), disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.
Both men were scheduled to be arraigned in Worcester District Court Tuesday morning.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
They offer a 15 day free trial offer. You only pay shipping and handling. Beach Ready LLC fool you into trying their product Splendyr1 mineral mask and Levela skin cream. They promise wrinkles to vanish and to keep the product coming you only pay 89.95 each per month. If you don't want it cancel anytime, but do it within 15 days or they zap your credit card twice for 89.95 no warning email of the transaction or anything. I hadn't even time to try it yet when they zapped my account. Then when I call them they agree to credit my account, but I must allow up to 7 business days to get my money back plus I have to pay $20 each for the product I tried for free. This is very misleading to the public and I can't believe I fell for it as I'm usually very alert to scams. I also learned by way of their own facebook page other people are upset and claim the product is no better than the chaep stuff.

Absolutely excellent commentary. You give me the flavor of Changsha. Keep up the good work. I love you saying it is hard, but challenging at the same time. I guess that's life. Enjoy April, and say HI to your class from me. Love you. Joan
There are poodles everywhere.
Loading Map
The last week my fellow teachers and I had "Practicum" where we had to prepare lesson plans and teach classes to actual students. I ended up with primary students, who were anywhere from 8 to 12 years old. The kids were adorable, SO adorable. They knew English but the levels ranged. Ultimately they were very enthusiastic and obedient and very well trained as far school goes. Teaching for my first time was hard, we were observed/reviewed by our peers and field staff which made it a bit nerve racking but also very informative on what we need to work for our upcoming year of teaching. I have a new found respect for teachers. It is not an easy job. I realize too that this year (as it has already proven to be) is going to be very trying. But I mean that in a positive way. I am being challenged in every aspect of life right now, it is exhausting but also shows me that I can do anything I put my mind to.
Some funny things to note:
~Everyone in China has poodles, they are totally the designer dog here, I have never seen so many poodles in one place in my whole life.
~ Females in Changsha wear heels, high heels, I am talking 5 inch heels, and dresses. They wear these no matter the occasion, this is casual wear, lounge wear, traveling wear...etc. I don't know how they do it, but they stroll down the crowded, dangerous streets effortlessly.
~Babies rarely wear diapers here. If they have to "go" mom or dad holds them over the gutter and they just go. A lot of the time you'll see the whole family standing around watching as if it were something very entertaining. I suppose that could be considered green or renewable or conserving since they are cutting out throwing away multiple diapers a day. Just watch where you step!
~I got one of my first real full-body massages ever today. It was a hilarious experience. I went with 4 other girls from World Teach.No one spoke English, it hurt really bad but really good at the same time. It was a man and he spoke like three words of English and would just laugh when I howled in pain. I would say "oh my god" when it hurt and then he would say: with a Chinese accent "oh my god" immediately after and laugh. We also had to wear these silly mis-match Chinese pajamas
~ I had a young man sing a medley of Lady Gaga songs to me yesterday, he could barely speak English but he sure knew his Lady Gaga. He asked me If I like Chinese boys, I had to tell him I had a boyfriend, he said that made him sad, he told me I was beautiful, hugged me and ran off. (nothing out of the ordinary in China)
Life is just different in Changsha. Nothing seems to be really pressing, there are few social rules ( which gets frustrating) but ultimately everyone seems to be relaxed about most things. People hangout outside and play games on their stoops, lots of people exercise and play sports, food is fairly simple, there is lots of local businesses. It is very interesting.
More to come soon!
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Your descriptions are absolutely wonderful. You are right, if you can get thru this year, you can do ANYTHING. I know I could not stand their sanitary conditions and situations. It would be the worst for me. Good luck with all that. Stay as beautiful as you are, enjoy this year and come back to us safely. Love you lots!
I TOLD YOU YOU WERE GOING TO COME HOME WITH A CHINESE BOYFRIEND!!!!! :D :D :D You have boyfren?? Oh hunny why you no have ??? Btw.. This comment is posted while i'm in class :D Its typing class! haha I get a computer AND i can get on you blog here at school and keep up with my SISTER!!! I love you and miss you LOVE the pictures they are soo sool and vibrant! Remember mom's birhtday is coming up the day after you move to the other place I believe. Love you bye bye!
P.s: I was done with all my work before I did this miss being a teacher and all that now :P
Um, Looks like you are having fun, but I only see 2 entries for China and 2 from the states. ssim uoy!!
ps, y u so smarted. : )
I'm glad to hear you're doing well. Are the students better at English than you are at Mandarin {Chinese}. Hey girl you may have to learn to eat meat. Remember Grandpa raises beef, so it's not a bad thing. If you aren't eating meat [ the shame of it] are you getting enough in your diet to make up for the protein you're missing? Love you, Grandpa

DeRomo's Gourmet Market & Restaurant, a family-owned market, restaurant and catering company with operations throughout South Florida and New York, opened its newest location in Bonita Springs, Fla., in October.
IPG Real Estate said that Amish Market, a landmark Manhattan gourmet market located in the Midtown neighborhood of TriBeCa, is being offered for sale in hopes of an offer prior to an auction slated for November 2012.

Taiga is a biome characterized by coniferous forests.
Covering most of inland Alaska, Canada, Sweden, Finland, inland Norway, northern Kazakhstan and Russia (especially Siberia), as well as parts of the extreme northern continental United States, the taiga is the world's largest terrestrial biome.
In Canada, boreal forest is the term used to refer to the southern part of this biome, while "taiga" is used to describe the more barren northern areas south of the Arctic tree-line.
Since North America and Eurasia were recently connected by the Bering land bridge, a number of animal and plant species (more animals than plants) were able to colonise both continents and are distributed throughout the taiga biome.
Others differ regionally, typically with each genus having several distinct species, each occupying different regions of the taiga.
Taigas also have some small-leaved deciduous trees like birch, alder, willow and aspen; mostly in areas escaping the most extreme winter cold.
However, the deciduous Larch is coping with the coldest winters on the northern hemisphere in eastern Siberia.
The southernmost part of the taiga also have trees like oak, maple and elm scattered among the conifers.

Palm Desert man arrested for DUI after rear ending truck and fleeing scene
PALM DESERT, Calif. - A 35-year-old probationer suspected of rear-ending a pickup truck in an alcohol-related injury crash in Palm Desert and then fleeing the scene was behind bars Tuesday.
Stewart Frost of Palm Desert was being held at the Riverside County Jail in Indio in lieu of $50,000 bail, according to sheriff's booking records.
He was driving a Ford Focus east on Highway 111 around 4:15 p.m. Monday when he rear-ended a Chevrolet Silverado stopped for a red light at Fred Waring Drive, said Riverside County sheriff's Sgt. Patrick Carroll.
Frost fled the scene and was later found in the area of several nearby restaurants, Carroll said.
Both Frost and the other driver suffered minor injuries in the crash and were treated at a hospital, he said.
Frost was booked on suspicion of hit-and-run causing injury while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 and causing injury, and violating his probation, all felonies. He was due in court in Indio on Thursday, according to sheriff's records.

Another new sentencing date set for Lewis
Sentencing has again been rescheduled for Bradley Thomas Lewis, 28, Brainerd, for a probation violation stemming from his guilty verdict in the beating death of another man Aug. 14, 2008, in downtown Brainerd.
Lewis was scheduled to appear Wednesday in Crow Wing District Court and his sentencing was rescheduled to Aug. 21. On July 2, Judge Erik Askegaard took the matter under advisement and since that time the sentencing date has been delayed twice. Lewis was sentenced to a year in jail for the death of Chad Charles Campbell.
Lewis violated his probation in April and he could have face prison time. Part of Lewis' 2009 sentence was that if he violates any of the terms of his probation, he could face up to 98 months in prison. Part of Lewis' original sentence included 15 years of supervised probation.
Lewis, who entered a plea of guilty to first-degree manslaughter in 2009 in exchange for the dismissal of charges of second-degree unintentional murder, first-degree assault, second-degree manslaughter and third-degree assault, has had 16 conditions he must follow as part of his probation. According to court records, Lewis violated the conditions of no possession or use of drugs and alcohol and he failed to remain in contact with his probation officer.
According to the criminal complaint filed against Lewis in 2008, witnesses indicated that Campbell "seemed like he did not want to fight and had his hands up in a defensive manner when (Lewis) ran around a group of people, struck Campbell one time on the side of the head knocking him to the ground and rendering him unconscious. At that point, (Lewis) left the scene."
Campbell died Aug. 19, 2008 in St. Cloud Hospital.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Have entered my first sea swim tri and thought picking a wetsuit up in a seaside town would be easy...... how wrong was I. Only wetsuits in Aberystwyth are for surfing.
I am only short (5ft) but all the size guides indicate I would need to be a skinny minny to fit that length and for a size 10 I need to be at least 5ft 5 or more.... hence I wanted to try one on before buying.
I live in mid Wales so there is a distinct lack of shops in my area. Any recommendations on a suit I could buy on-line or where I could go to try some - Herefordshire/ south Wales preferably.
Thanks in advance folks!
Could you try hiring one first? I don't know about where you are, but some of the open water training venues round our way offer the chance to hire per session. Would at least give you a chance to try a couple and get some advice.
Quite a few places on line will hire or try before you buy but you need to be sure of sizing, I can't help with places near you but I would recommend a trip if you find the nearest
one point however is that quite a few pools won't allow you to use a wetsuit so ask before you buy before you tri
Royles in Wilmslow
Eureka Cycles in Chester
Tri-Active in Chester
Where do you travel ?
There's a tri shop in Haverfordwest, I don't know much about them but at least in south Wales.
Thanks folks, I guess I don't really go far. I am in Cardiff next week so was hoping there or even the outlet village in Bridgend for a bargain! Merthyr, Carmarthen or into Herefordshire would be best but Chester is an option as I could get there in under 2 hours.
Looking on eBay but even the sellers don't seem to know exactly what size they have!
cripes, had to google wilmslow to find where it was..... apparently home to the rich and famous with lavish lifestyles. Does this mean I need more than a few shiny coins??
I totally want to try on as I am short but unfortunately not particularly skinny. Have tried 1 sea swim with my shortie surf type wettie which was great fun and I was amazed by how much bouyancy it gave me.
didn't manage to get anywhere near a shop so bit the bullet and took a punt on eBay.....delivered today and cost less than £50 for a foor. Fits ok but I think I may need a dollop of talc or Vaseline if I am ever going to try it by myself. How do others manage to pull them on without giving themselves a hernia?

DOW Chemical to raise prices 25% across the board.

Inflation is going to get out of control. Time to stock up on ammunition to sell at a profit later. Money in the bank is going to be losing money.

Does Dow make ammo itself, or chemical components for ammo?

Superintendent of Schools Mark Porter this week received his first interim report card from his bosses: the Monroe County School Board.
Porter received a grade of 3.51 out of a possible top score of 5 from the board members, who also were allowed space for comments about the man they hired 11 months ago to turn the district around.
All five were posed 52 questions scored on a five-point scale, with a 1 being "not acceptable," 2 being "developing," 3 "proficient," 4 "accomplished," and 5 "distinguished."
The superintendent was also asked to complete a self-evaluation, which was similar to the forms filled out by the board, but also contained questions specific to his leadership.
Not all members answered every question, having queries of their own about some of them, and District 1 member Robin Smith-Martin didn't add comments to his form, but the results appear to be a cautious endorsement of Porter's leadership, albeit with strong reservations from some members.
District 3 member Ed Davidson, in particular, pulled few punches as he put to paper concerns he has been verbalizing at School Board meetings for months.
In assigning his "2" grade for Porter's handling of his strategic planning process, Davidson described the superintendent's efforts as being "largely in-house personnel dominated, and old-guard sponsored."
"Failed to reach many elements of non-school community who pay taxes," Davidson wrote.
On three occasions, Davidson scored the super as low as he could. The only other grade of "1" assigned to Porter came from Smith-Martin, on the question of an internal and external communication plan.
By contrast, the superintendent was much harder on himself than the board, awarding himself three grades of "1" and a number of "2s"as well.
But the marks that matter to Porter, who is 11 months into a three-year contract at a salary of $150,000, came from the five board members.
Their scoring of Porter is as follows:
• Chairman Andy Griffiths: 3.58.
• Vice Chairman Ron Martin: 3.65.
• Robin Smith-Martin: 3.46.
• John Dick: 3.55.
• Ed Davidson: 3.33.
In addition to the grades and comments, all members' evaluations, save Davidson's, contained references to the difficulty of accurately scoring the superintendent so early into his tenure. Griffiths' evaluation, in particular, was rife with comments such as "too early," and "always a work in progress."
District 4 member John Dick, commenting on the strategic plan process, wrote, "The process is ongoing and until it is completed, this evaluation is not an accurate judgement."
Dick listed the super's strengths as including his ability to "keep an even keel even when confronted by conflicting personalities in the public arena. Does not get flustered!!"
On the downside, Dick suggested that Porter "might be influenced more than he should be by some employees," a sentiment echoed by Davidson, who implied that the super could be "overwhelmed by old guard urban advice and pressure, which has repeatedly blunted needed reform initiatives." Davidson also called Porter "naÃØve about bias and ethical lapses in district and community elements," but allowed that he was, at the same time, "professionally proficient."
Davidson also asserted that employee "morale is in the dumpster."

My family is need of a wish. You see we have a major situation on our hands. My brother-in-law went to the Philippines to visit his girlfriend. While over there he became sick. He suffered from a stroke and heart attack, among of things. He was fighting for his life for about 3 weeks. He was on and off life support several times. Finally he suffered from another stroke, went into a come and never woke up. The Philippine doctors confirmed him dead. After I confirmed to my mother-in-law of his deaf. She had a nervous break down. She still is currently in the hospital. The United States Embassy has emailed the family and told us that before we can bring my brother-in-law home to bury him, we have to pay $9,700.00 in medical bills. You see it is a Philippine custom that any and all medical bills must be paid in full before the hospital releases his body and death certificate. The US Embassy also stated to us that we also would need $8,000.00. in funds to be able to fly his body back home as well. My family needs help on this matter. We do not have the
funds to do so. We so desperate to get him home and have a proper memorial service for him. But we just dont have the funds to do so. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

my 9 mth old has a sore on his tail, he keeps licking it, what could it be & how is it treated?
german shepard/boxer mix, 9 months old, has a history of moderate/servere skin problems, antibiotics/steroids have not helped in the past. the sore is about an inch & a half in diameter,& its causing some pretty bad hair loss. it kind of oozes pus & foreign liquids from his pores. need answers ASAP. he has been tested negative for dermatitis, & the vet has ruled out hotspots. we havent left him alone lately, but we just took him on vacation with us last week, & he was playing in the shallows of the gulf of mexico.we came home saturday. it was perfectly fine, we really seemed to notice it sunday. i washed it with antibacterial shampoo & put an antiseptic on it, but he chewed off the wrapping after a few hours & wass running like mad as if his tail was on fire.

Sounds awful! Sassy has itchy skin and has had hot spots but the vet can fix her right up. If your vet cannot help get to a specialist. You need to find out the reason for the itchiness. Treating the symptom isn't working! I never had any improvement with home made solutions.

You have to keep him from licking it even if that means an E-collar. It needs to be cleaned, have antibiotic/antiseptic on it. I have been treating my rescue with Benedryl for the itch and Bag Balm to sooth and heal. It's antiseptic and safe if he licks it.
I think you need to address why he has skin problems rather than trying to give medications after it gets bad. Allergies manifesting as hot spots or dermatitis, caused by food, pollen, carpet and bedding are frequently the cause. Parasites are another cause, but they are easier to test for so you would know. Another possibility is anxiety/self mutilation. My Sister's Black Labrador, Cricket, chews her tail if she' feeling neglected. She has a spot midway down her tail that is ragged, brownish or missing fur because of her chewing it.
Anxiety can be help with lots of leash walks, training for patience, a structured day, and relaxation therapy. Yes, I have taught dogs to learn to relax. Massage works!

In mexico there is a whole new type of bacterias I would have kept it covered completely on vacation.
I think antiseptic is going to burn like fire that is not a good thing to apply.
I would put water on it and get the antiseptic off that will also make his skin very red and inflamed.
After rinsing with water let air dry and apply one thin layer of neosporin. Then just don't keep applying. See if you can get it to dry up on it's own. Don't let flies get on it, especially blow flies. That way you can avoid maggot from the flies. What is the dog eating? maybe try Solid gold puppy food for now. Don't allow the dog to also chew on it, go to petco and buy a plastic head collar used in vet's office to keep him from getting to his tail. The vet should be doing this, so I would get him there especially if there is puss. The dog pup, has a serious infection if it has progressed maybe part of his tail has to be amputated?? not sure, but a vet is your sure answer. good luck.

Hi Chewy!
I also have sensitive skin, and am prone to allergies. Before my humans changed my diet, I would get hot spots, and was starting to lose some of the fur on my tail. They changed my diet to eliminate corn, wheat, soy, gluten, beet pulp, and chicken, and my skin improved a lot.
They also started wiping my feet and fur down with a damp washcloth after walks, to reduce the pollen, dust, and other allergens that might be clinging to me.
A lot of vets neglect to look at diet as a cause of skin problems, but talk to your vet about trying an elimination diet. You start with a low-allergen meat, like lamb, and a single vegetable, like sweet potato, and feed for a week to see if it clears up. Then you can slowly add other ingredients back in. If preparing food for your dog is not practical for you, look for a single-source protein dog food. Go to www.dogfoodanalysis.com for details on ingredients.
Check out the Dogster forums on feeding, too. Good luck!

New art exhibition at Deschutes Co. building
BEND, Ore. - Deschutes County is pleased to present "Bend's Illuminations, through the Eyes of Our Children." The hanging wall pieces, using multiple forms of recycled materials, are on display now through October at the Deschutes County Services Building, 1300 NW Wall St. in Bend, on the second floor.
Touching and imaginative, the unusual and enchanting collection draws the viewer into each piece - immediately.
The large, heavy art pieces highlight each child's life experience, and are the collaborative efforts of 40 young artists who are consumers of children's services in our community. Each child has faced challenges in their lives such as mental and emotional trauma, or physical illness.
This display is a must-see art exhibit-see the world through a young person's eyes. Each work adds light and life to 10 strategic themes for a 'Well-Planned City', from the Bend 2030 Vision Plan.
Can you find the Ferris wheel and the bridge going every-which-way, lollipop trees, a phoenix, skateboard ramps, oil pipeline, a river with fish of 'green ribbon' representing children's mental health awareness? And, look for a Koi pond park in the center of a roundabout! There is much more to see and interpret.
"Eyes of Our Children" is a project brought to you by Jennifer Poncia's A World of Art; the City of Bend's Arts, Beautification and Culture Commission, and the Oregon Family Support Network of Central Oregon.

I swore unto you, and I entered into a covenant with you, and you became mine.
Psalm 130
In searching for a ceremony to welcome Ayelet into the brit between God and the Jewish people, we looked for texts that included conceptions of brit that weren't necessarily tied to one gender or another. There are four verses in the Bible which refer to foreskins and to three other symbolic foreskins; the foreskin of the lips, the foreskin of the ears, and finally the foreskin of the heart. The three latter foreskins symbolize the barriers that can block a person from speaking, hearing, and feeling God. The biblical verses referring to foreskinned hearts, ears, and lips are:
All of Israel are of foreskinned hearts. (Jeremiah 9:30)
Whom shall I speak and give testimony, that they may hear? Behold their ears are foreskinned and they cannot listen. (Jeremiah 6:10)
Moses said before God, Behold I am of foreskinned lips, and How will Pharoah listen to them? (Exodus 6:30)
While the foreskin of the penis obviously does not apply to females (although there is a rabbinic position that considers females circumcised 1 , the foreskins of the lips, the ears, and the heart certainly apply to females as much as to males. One might say regarding females that their bodies are already "open" and so do not need to be cut.
Our prayer for Ayelet is that she will be able to enter into a covenant with God, one in which she is not closed off from the divine presence. We pray that she will never lose the openness that she now has. And that she will be able to remove barriers not only between her and God, but between her and others and between her and herself.
The ceremony that we have developed to represent her entrance into brit, is one in which we symbolically remove barriers--barriers which, if not yet present, tend to grow with age. While newborn babies are fresh from God, "trailing clouds of glory"(Wordsworth), barriers, unfortunately, often grow with age.
Welcoming Ayelet into the World
"From the depths I have called to You God. My God (Eli) Hear my voice, hear my voice, hear my pleading."2
My dove in the clefts of the rocks
In the secret of steep ravines,
Show me your face
Let me hear your voice
For your voice is pleasing,
And your appearance is beautiful.3
Ayelet enters the room and all say:
Brukha Haba'ah! (Blessed is she who enters!)4
One is my dove, my perfect one,
the choice of her who bore her,
women see her and sing of her joy,
queens and brides chant her praise.5
Brit: The Covenant Ritual
This is the chair of Elijah!
Blessed are You God Ruler of the Universe who has sanctified us with Your commandments and commanded us to bring her into the covenant of Abraham our father and Sarah our mother.
Amen. K'shem shnikhnasa labbrit ken tikanes l'torah l'chuppa ul'ma'asim tovim.
Amen. Just as she is entered into the covenant, so may she be entered into torah, the marriage canopy and good deeds.
We mark6 her heart in hope that her heart will be open to the world and the God behind it.
We mark her ears in hope that she will hear the still small voice of God.
We mark her lips in hope that they will give voice to God's presence.
God's words of covenant to a female Israel (Ezekiel 16:6-9)
I have caused to increase like the bud of the field, and you did increase and grow and you did come to excellent beauty, your breasts were formed, and your hair was grown; you were naked and bare.
And I passed over You and saw you, and behold your time was the time of love, and I spread my wings upon you and I covered your nakedness and I swore unto you, and I entered in a covenant with you. And you became mine.
And I passed over you, and I saw you wallowing in your blood, and I said to you: 'In your blood you shall live. In your blood you shall live.
As she is washed and anointed with oil the following words are recited:
Then I washed you with water, and washed the blood from upon you, and I anointed you with oil.7
This is the cup of Miriam!
Blessed are you God, King of the Universe, who has created the fruit of the vine.
A paragraph of blessing from a Sephardic rite that welcomes a daughter into the covenant:
Mi-shebberakh imoteinu imoteinu Sarah, Rivkah, Rachel vԌeah umiryam ha-n'viah v'avigayil v'ester ha-malkah bat avichayil, hu yԶarekh et ha-yalda ha-n'ima hazot vayikareh shmah ________bat ___________ b'mazal tov uv'sha'at brakha,v'yigadluha bivriut shalom, menucha. V'yizku avihah v'imah lirot b'simchatah uv'chuppatah b'vanim osher v'kavod v'od y'nuvun b'sevah d'shenim v'ra'a'nanim (l'chayei ha-sabbim v'ha-sabtot) v'khen yehi ratzon v'od y'nuvun b'sevah d'shenim v'ra'a'nanim yih'yu v'nomar amen.
1. See Talmud Avodah Zarah 27a.
2. This text recalls Ayelet coming through the birth canal, an event which confers upon her the status of a Jew. The only other way she could become a Jew, according to halakhah is if she had been immersed in the mikveh, an event which also recalls coming out of the womb. See Rabbi Gary Shapiro's article in Pardes Revisited for a discussion of what he calls Brit Leyda, the Covenant bestowed by birth itself.
3. Song of Songs 2:14. This text recalls our calling her out of the womb so that we could behold her, and hold her.
4. Song of Songs 6:9. This text signifies her arrival into the world.
5. The texts from Song of Songs are part of a Sephardic rite, Zeved Habat, which welcomes a daughter into the world.
6. We use henna to mark her, recalling the blood of the covenant. Henna is traditionally used in a ritual with a Yemenite woman before her wedding ceremony. In a brit ceremony developed by Rabbi Jeremy Schwartz, he uses henna to recall dam brit, the blood of the covenant.
7. We took these verses out of order to fit the context of a brit for a female. Similarly, the Sifre (Rabbinic Midrash) takes them out of order. You can see how the Sifre uses these verses in most traditional editions of the Passover Haggadah.

Seth MacFarlane Talks "Roasting" on Oscars
He'll be emceeing the 85th Academy Awards this weekend, and Seth MacFarlane couldn't be more excited to have scored the coveted gig.
And the "Family Guy" mastermind has promised that he won't get too harsh with his 'roasting' of the celebrities during his commentary during the ceremony.
Seth explained, "There is a certain element, even in the days when [five-time host] Johnny Carson was there, of roasting. It's just a matter of how black the meat gets. I'm going somewhere from medium to medium well."
"The Oscars will still be something a family in 2013 can sit down and watch and be just fine with. A family in 1955 might have some issue with it. In 2013, everyone will be fine. Then again, I'm not married and I don't have kids. And my mother was saying [strong thoughts and words] out loud by the time I was 5. So maybe I'm the wrong guy to ask."

Ask a Question
Sub Topics
TOPIC: Home, Garden, and Yard
- What is a good fertilizer schedule?
- What is the best thing to do with seedlings that are too tall for the seed starting kits? I have cauliflower and tomato plants that are 'leggy' and now too tall, but not yet ready to go outside. I received last week an advertisement about that hybrid zoysia grass that needs little watering and little mowing. Is that for real and if so, would it work in our climate? Supposedly it is cold hardy to -30. If I think that I there are gophers in my yard, what is the best way to eradicate them?
- What is the cost for a soil test?
- What kind of Strawberry plant do you recommend? I remember Crocket's Victory Garden recommending an ever bearing one for the New England area.
- What materials should I use to raise depressions in my lawn around retaining walls and sidewalks?
- What night-time temperatures are too cold for "tender plants" such as tomatoes, squashes, annual bedding plants, etc.?
- What of the drought grasses mentioned Buffalograss, Blue grama, crested wheat grass or Sideouts grama grass, would most likely trigger allergy issues? Which one the least? Where to buy? Plant as sod? May we have instructions on "planting," care and maintanence, please?
- What pesticides can I use for alfalfa weevil, and what are the best? Have Furadan and Lorsban been removed for this application
- What trees, perrenials, shrubs etc... grow best in Utah (landscaping yard)?
- What type of grass would hold up to high traffic in a yard facing south (no shade)? We are needing to re-seed or buy sod.
- When and how do I harvest my butternut and buttercup squash?
- When do I spray my apple tree so my apples dont have worms in them and with what pesticide do I spray them?
- When do I spray my cherry tree to prevent worms?
- When do you advise setting the sprinklers to run? Is early morning the best time for both lawn and (drip) garden?
- When is it too late to prune back the tops of peach trees that have gotten too high?
- When is the best time to spray a cherry tree for worms?
- When is the next date for spraying apple trees for codling moth?
- When moving into our new home I removed two small quaking aspen trees. Even though the main trees are gone there are a good multiple dozen shoots that are coming up all over the lawn. How do I get rid of these for good...hopefully without ripping up my entire yard? Also my neighbors all have these aspen trees and I would like to "treat" the baby shoots coming up on my side of the fence line without damaging their trees. Is that possible?
- When should I cut back spent tulips and daffadills?
- Whenever I go into the supermarket in the summer time I see people picking out watermelons and talking about bee stings as indicators of a good melon, but I thought bees only sting when threatened and that the sting contains a venom. Is there any correlation between the marks on watermelon and bees? Adam
- Where can I buy a kumquat tree in Utah? Will it survive living outdoors in SLC?
- Where can I get a chart that tells me when to plant vegetable or plants and also can you tell me how to plant blackberry and raspberry plants?
- Why do we rake leaves? What would happen to my lawn and flower garden if I just left them on the ground and let the grass and perennials grow up through them? We currently mulch them with a mower and let most of them stay. Are we raising the elevation of our lawn? Are we doing good or bad to it?
- Will kumquat trees grow in St. George, Utah?
- Your answer about watering wasn't specific enough for me. My tomatoes have always cracked and it wasn't until last year that I got the vague answer about uneven watering. Now I'm beginning to think that my gallon a day watering of my one little plant was too much. I also have a drip system that waters three times a week just under the soil at the base of the plant. Should I stop being a helicopter mom and leave it just to the drip system? My plant is a foot high, been in the ground with lots of organic material and has a few small tomatoes. Please tell me how much and how often to water.

I just came back from a weeks stay with my sister to be with her and the family because BIL had a heart attack. He had the attack April 6 and woke up yesterday April 17 from sedation. We were told to expect bad news but he is all there and the neurological tests show normal. It is a miracle! Thank you for all the prayers.God is good. His body took a beating and he will most likely have some medical issues, possible ongoing dialisis and toe amputation in particular, and will need time for rehabilitation.He still can not move much but that is expected to improve.

Discussion in 'Ultimate Truck Gear' started by ChevyFan, Mar 7, 2009.
I know I recorded it. I'll watch it in a bit.
Here's the DIRECT VIDEO!
I just set the DVR for tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up.
I just watched the video via Steve's link and that is really cool, I missed it on TV today because I slept in until noon again. I wish I was working right now, I would definately buy a set for my big truck. Thanks Steve for posting the link for all of us forgetful people, without Tivo!
Wow! It looked like installation was far easier than I expected it to be. I'm wary of drilling in things because I inevitably get something wrong, but I think I can handle that!
I caught it too. Looked really good and the guys were nice when mentioning the product. Glad Ultimate Truck Gear got a spot and got such a good mention. I'm guessing they had more than a few messages on their voicemail when they got into work this morning.
Thanks! to everyone who watched it. Everyone at the shop including me were very happy with the presentation. Bruno and Matt made it look easy.....not that its not....BUT you WILL get your hands dirty. LOL!! :happy:
I just watched it. I saved it to show the wife what they are. This means that I'm gonna have to watch a Dr. Phill show for this. Better than American Idol!!!
I missed it... I will see if I can search the guide and find it and PVR it.
Bert, look above, earlier on in this thread, for a direct link.

"To this day, my palms sweat when I see brand-name food."

"I now treat ice cream a little bit the way ex-smokers treat cigarettes: with close to zero tolerance."

"I don't do To-Do Lists. I can't. I wish I did. I think it's probably bad that someone made me CEO of a company, because don't do To-Do Lists and I think I'm the only one … I've got an awesome assistant who helps me create days, and then I just kind of follow the flow."
When David Kirchhoff and a handful of employees launched WeightWatchers.com in 2000, the company was ridiculed for its hubristic belief that it could charge for access to content on the Internet.
"Our feeling was, if this online product actually helps people lose weight, they will see value in it, and they'll be happy to pay for it," he explains. "If it doesn't help them lose weight, and they don't see value in it, they won't pay for it and we should be doing something else. What we could never understand was, why would that be advertiser-supported? Why would you ask an advertiser to pay for your weight-management intervention?"
Their conviction was rewarded, as the website proved such a success that it was one of the models studied by The New York Times when that paper set out to develop the metered access system for its website and mobile offerings. And now, the paid Weight Watchers mobile app is bundled as part of clients' memberships.
"I'm glad we did it when we did, because we didn't have to retrain the consumer to get used to the idea of paying for stuff," he says. "But honestly, I worry. I mean if you give someone a free weight-loss tool, to me that's something you use for a couple of weeks and get bored. Because if it's free, what does that say about the value of it?"

When we wrote about the new Android version's native support of motion and other sensors, we saw barometer listed, but at the time we considered it just thrown in there for a good measure
A reference platform, however, is a reference platform, and Moto just let the cat out of the bag on its Facebook page that the Motorola XOOM will indeed have a barometer inside, and it is also listed in the list of sensors at the official XOOM developers' page. It should help for more accurate predictions of your local weather conditions, and measuring altitude in general will come in handy, especially for outdoorsy types.
It is nice to see that Google, Motorola and NVIDIA have thrown everything in the Motorola XOOM that will showcase both the full under-the-hood capabilities of both Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and the UI of the tablet edition Android 3.0 Honeycomb. Moto's 4G-capable tablet is supposed to appear on shelves in March.
