Winemaker Notes
"Good medium ruby. Smoky aromas of cassis, game and currant leaf. Very suave and fine in the mouth, with less obvious sweetness than the 2002 but perhaps more precision of flavor. Notes of currant, coffee, smoke and game linger impressively on the firm finish. Classy cabernet for the price."

Starting, Growing and Dealing with Pests of Broccoli
This is a healthy plant and it is no wonder that mothers have been saying for years, "Eat your broccoli!"
Early Broccoli Crops
Early crops should be sown indoors approximately 6-8 weeks before you want to plant them outdoors.
The seeds are easily germinated so do not crowd them in the seedling tray. Give them at least a half inch from any other seed.
When the growing broccoli seedling has four true leaves (leaves that develop after the first two seedling leaves) transplant it into a larger container for growing-on.
Full Sun
Full sunlight, a regular feeding at half strength and a temperature of 62F will produce a nice short, thick fast growing broccoli plant for putting into your garden.
The transplants should be put into the garden 18 inches apart and the rows 30-36 inches apart.
If you are concerned with cutworms (small worms that eat the stems below the soil line) you can wrap the stem with a band of waxed paper or heavy paper to stop the worm from getting to the stem.
A bit of lime or wood ash (very tiny bit) scattered around the plant will deter slugs. Alternately, you can use an organic slug bait containing iron around your transplants.
Late Crops
Late growing broccoli crops can be sown directly into the garden from early May until the first week of June in zone 3-5 gardens and as late as July in warmer areas.
Sow the seed as thinly as possible at four to five seeds per foot (remember that this seed germinates quite easily) and then thin out or transplant the resulting seedlings so they are 18 inches apart.
Generally healthy growing broccoli will mature approximately 100 days from the day you sow it.
The major pest of this plant is the green caterpillar of the cabbage moth.
Dust with rotenone or spray regularly with Bt to control this pest. Dropping the harvested heads in salty water will also help to identify the "surprises" you miss.
Chewed up leaves are the primary sign that you have an infestation.
When and How To Harvest
Harvest your growing broccoli when the large central heads are still tight budded. While you can eat them when the buds begin to swell and open, they are much nicer harvested tight.
Do NOT pull up the plant but simply cut off the top head.
When the top head has been cut, side shoots will develop and you'll get a ton of these from each plant.
Harvest side shoots regularly before they start to stretch or the buds open on them. These smaller heads are easy to pick and use fresh in salads and stir fries.

Drop Into Salt Water For A Minute
This might seem strange but if you drop the heads (either the main head or the secondary florets) into a pot of salty water, you may avoid some of the small green worms (they'll float to the surface) before you freeze or cook the broccoli. Don't be grossed out, it's a fact of life. ;-)

Is there any manuals or information available for determining the error indications that come up on the panel? There was no information at all provided by the installing company, nothing as much as a user manual, which may be in keeping with the expectation that the servicing is locked into the authorized servicing and installation company. The only thing I've encountered were brochures for selling the system.
Being the first burner installation I'd had to undergo, this may be the norm, but most everything else usually comes with a pamplet or something with some information.
It'd be nice if the owner of the system was provided with some modicum of information as to what it means when all the panel LEDs light up simultaneously with the circulator running non stop, and the burner off.

Our Price:
Fujifilm X-T1 Weather Resistant Digital Camera & 18-55mm XF Lens with:
Fujifilm X-T1 Weather Resistant Digital Camera & 18-55mm XF Lens (Black)
Awaken your senses as never before.
The Fujifilm X-T1 Weather Resistant Digital Camera has the world's highest viewfinder magnification ratio of 0.77x and the world's fastest display with a lag-time of just 0.005 sec. With the X-Trans CMOS II & EXR Processor II, plus 80 years of photo film research, you get color reproduction that's second to none. In addition, this camera body is Weather Resistant -- dust-resistance, water-resistance and -10°C low-temperature operation let you take your camera on all of your adventures. No matter whether the power is on or off, analog dial operation connects your vision and the camera.
This outfit includes the XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS Lens, a versatile zoom with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 and a broad focal length range from 27mm wide angle to 84mm telephoto. With this lens, the photographer can respond to a variety of scenes. Superbly portable thanks to its compact size, the fast linear motor-driven autofocus and the built-in functionality of four stops of image stabilization ensure comfortable, confident shooting even in challenging situations.
Important Note: While the X-T1 camera body is weather resistant, the included 18-55mm lens is not. Weather-sealed lenses are available for this camera system separately.
This camera also comes with the EF-X8 flash (Guide Number 11) that features a compact body designed to match the X-T1, plus Fujifilm's Super intelligent flash performance. Perfect for adding light to indoor portraits and low-light situations.

I am one of a GINORMOUS family. In age order it goes Shadow, Zorro, Silver, Sonic, Mario and then me. I'm the baby of the family or rather that's what the spoilt brat, Sonic, calls me.
Sonic is extremely rude and swears at me when he ever gets a chance. A bit like the psychotic hedgehog, actually. He evn swears at Luigi the corgi , Molly's other pet. sonic is EVIL. (Or rather, that's what I think!) I HATE SONIC. The CAT not the PSYCHOTIC HEDGEHOG!!!!!!!
Just last week the loser called me "Knucklehead". He got a VERY nasty scrape for that off me.

Item description for Notes on Nursing: What it Is, and What it Is Not by Florence Nightingale...Neither in my own nursing education at the B.S.N. nor at the M.S.N. level, was it even suggested, much less required, that I read any of Florence Nightingale's original writings. Even as a nurse educator for over 30 years, I did not require my students to read her writings either. After reading this book, I now believe it is a void in the education of a nurse not to read at least some of the writings of the founder of modern day nursing. Notes on Nursing would be an excellent choice. This book introduces and discusses, to some degree, many of the concepts nurses have been dealing with since before my entrance into the field in the 1969, and certainly ever since. Included in these pages are concepts such as holistic health, home health, alternative therapies, health prevention and maintenance, the role of women in nursing and in everyday life, nursing administration, leadership, communications skills, mind/body and body/mind relationships. Her theory on the use of light, fresh air, warmth, cleanliness, quiet, and the proper selection and administration of diet is also well explored. Some of the comments are unexpected and very insightful. - Anita S. Kessler, R.N., M.S.N., M.Ed. Florence Nightingale was the founder of the modern nursing profession. She single handedly revolutionized medical treatment with her writings on nursing. Anita S. Kessler is an R. N. With Master Degrees in both nursing and education. She has been an educator of nurses for more than thirty years.

Forex – is an international foreign exchange market (shorten form from "Foreign Exchange"). The history of this market started in 1971 when the transfer from the fixed rates of the national currencies to the market, floating rates was implemented. The Forex market operates every day, 24 hours a day (except weekends and some holidays). The deals on currency exchange (conversional deals) are concluded at Forex remotely by millions of participants who physically are in other countries of the world. This is one of the main differences of the Forex market from other markets which have a distinct place for concluding deals. Read more...

Featherdance: The First FlightMature
Five years after I really began living again, my unknown past starts coming back to haunt me. My best friends are acting strange, there's a new boy in school (total hottie, by the way), and to top it off, my amnesia seems to be wearing thin. The struggle can only get harder when you're a teenager, I guess. More so when you don't know who you are.
White flecks dancing down around me, falling gently from the endless blue skies, their eternal song silent to all, yet their music soothing to all.
When they stop falling, fluttering gently to the ground, their music stops.
These feathers were no different. Soft white strands swayed with the calm breeze, each one making their own melody to sing with the chorus of each feather.
Someone once told me that there has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it. Looking back on this memory of the tiny untainted performers floating down, surrounding me, I couldn't help but wonder, not why evil exists, but why it pertains against good. Every fairy tale has a hero or a heroine, and each always has a villain to overcome, which, being fairy tales, they always do. So why didn't the bad guys give up and say 'I can't win against you' even when sometimes, they already knew it?
Someday, I would find out. However, sometimes things are never quite that perfect.
Life isn't a fairy tale.

Chapter ThreeMature
I knew something was amiss as soon as the car approached Aunt Melody's street. For starters, there was a great deal of people out and about, far more than was usual on that street at that time of night. Then there was the strobing lights of the emergency vehicles, the sight of which set my stomach clenching in fear.
I could not form a coherent thought at all. I absently paid the lovely driver, who had regaled me with tales of his fifteen month old baby daughter, Fleur, on whom he was doting every second of his spare time, throughout the drive over and who had kept my mind off my worries for the time it had taken to complete the journey. I thrust whatever notes I had in my purse into his hand. He began to protest that it was too much, but as I clambered out of the car in an ungainly fashion, I told him to buy his daughter something nice from me.
A neighbour of my Aunt, whom I knew more by sight than association recognised me and made her way through the throng of people outside Aunt Melody's house.
"I'm so sorry" she said, her face a picture of misery, "it's your Aunt".
"Is she...?" I asked, unable to complete the question
"I'm sorry, but yes she is" the neighbour, Valerie, I think her name was, confirmed, her eyes cast down to the ground.
"What? What is it?" I demanded, sensing there was more to come.
"It's not for me to say, really it's not" the poor woman said as tears sprang into her eyes. "Your parents are here, perhaps you should ask them?" she suggested, backing away from me and wiping at her eyes with the sleeve of a rather stylish and no doubt expensive jumper that fitted her trim frame like a second skin.
I made my painful way towards my Aunt's house, the press of people parting wordlessly upon seeing my invalided condition. I felt several pats on my back and shoulders and heard muttered condolences from people who obviously knew me as my Aunt's neice and who had probably seen my comings and goings through the years. I didn't have the strength or the voice to answer any of them.
My father espied me at the gate at the end of the property's footpath. With agility and alacrity I would have never guessed he still possessed at his age he made his way towards me.
"What are you doing here?" he asked brusquely.
"I was worried about you and mum when I could not get hold of you on the 'phone" I answered. "What happend to Aunt Melody?"
"I'm sorry, darling," dad said gently. "It looks like she fell down the stairs and hurt herself too badly to call for help"
"Oh, no, Auntie!" I cried and burst into tears. My father, a gentle soul who in spite of being married and raising a daughter, was never good with tears. However, this time he came up trumps and wrapped his arms around my shoulders and held me gently until I had cried-out the worst of my initial shock.
I saw my mother as my father releasd me from his embrace. If it were at all possible, she had added twenty years to her age in the period since I had seen her last.
"Dad? What aren't you telling me?" I asked, as I hobbled uncertainly towards my mother. "What else happened here? Why are all these people here and what happend to mummy?" I burbled as fresh tears slipped down my face.
"I'm sorry, honey," Dad said as he and mum embraced quickly. "It looks like your Aunt... " He couldn't say the words. I suddenly had an awful feeling I knew what it was he was trying to say.
"Oh, no, please... not that!" I cried. "I TOLD you!" I screamed at my mother, pointing an accusatiory finger at her. "I told you there was something wrong!"
"I'm sorry! I am more sorry than you can ever understand" my mother sighed, not making any attempt to defend herself against my anger and tears. "You were right and I was wrong. I should have listened to you. After all, you knew my sister far better than I did."
"How long?" I asked. "How long did she lay there all alone and helpless?" I was fighting to hold down the hysteria that was threatening to overwhelm me. "How fucking long did my Aunt, your sister, lay at the bottom of those stairs, mother?" I said in a calm, even tone of voice that I didn't recognise. "How fucking long!"
"There's no need to swear" dad interjected.
"Just answer the goddamn, fucking question, someone!" My voice was rising as my anger and grief swelled. "How long did Aunt melody lay dead on that bastard floor before you found her?!" I demanded.
"We don't know, exactly," dad conceded as mum wept in to a handkerchief he had helpfully handed to her. "We think it may have been as long as three weeks" His voice tailed off to a whisper, his incomprehension at how he and his wife had come to this state of affairs compounded by a growing sense of guilt and shame.
"Oh my God!" I cried. I suddenly felt very light-headed and slightly nauseous and my vision began to blur and darken. Before I realsied what was happening to me I had fallen into a dead faint. Were it not for the rapid reactions of a couple of the younger male neighbours there might well have been a second fatality that night as I very nearly impaled myself on the white painted pickets of Aunt Melody's fence.
Taking full advantage of the commotion around him, Bruce slipped away unnoticed, the remains of the old lady's hand dangling from his firmly clenched jaw. Although there was little meat on his treasure, he would enjoy gnawing on the bones and making his way through the hardness to the life-giving marrow at the core. He found himself a new, sypathetic home in which to reside, miles distant from his previous one. Nobody missed him and he missed nobody either.
When I came round I was back home in my own bed.
"Where's mum?" I asked my father who was sitting in an oversuffed chair I'd rescued from a rubbish pile several years ago and restored.
"She's resting at home. This has been incredibly traumatic for all of us" he said earnestly.
"I'm sorry I shouted" I said, clasping his liver-spotted and heavily veined hand in mine. "And can you ever forgive me for swearing like a navvy?" I asked as a pink bloom suffused my neck and cheeks.
Dad laughed a throaty chuckle.
"I always knew you had it in you, girl," he laughed, "and I always thought it would come out long before now with one or other of those blokes you've been with" he admitted, his eyes moistening with mirth.
"Well, I've always tried to be a lady" I giggled "but it hasn't always worked so well" I added with a wink and a smile.
"No doubt, no doubt" dad said, his voice losing its joviality.
"Honey, there's more I have to tell you, about your Aunt" he said, all traces of mirth and laughter completely absent from his voice now. "I don't want to say anything, but rather you hear it from me than hear it elsewhere or read it in the newspapers" he said solemnly.
"Daddy? What's wrong? What do you mean?" I asked, suddenly afraid all over again.
In a halting voice that dropped to little more than a papery whisper at times, he told me of the full horror of that house; of what my dearely beloved Aunt had endured. On first examination it appeared that Aunt melody had lived for quite some time after her fall and may have been awake and fully conscious for some or all of the time, there was no way of knowing. I hoped and prayed that that was not the case and that she had passed peacefully and painlessly into the next life.
But it was what the cats had done to her; to her corpse that really horrified me, which is why dad opted, over my mother's wishes, to tell me about first. I wailed and cried and beat my fists against the walls, my own chest and hit out and kicked inanimate items of furniture out of soul-deep anguish and disgust and sorrow for my poor helpless Aunt. I had nightmares for months afterwards and developed an overpowering aversion to all things feline ever after.
I have never really got over losing my Aunt, although Mother Nature would in all likelihood have taken her from this world within a few more years anyway. It was the manner of her passing and what happened to her poor helpless body that troubles me constantly.
As per her will, her wish was to buried alongside her first husband, which we gladly complied with. Her will also made me the sole beneficiary of her entire estate, which made me, if not a wealthy woman, at least a comfortably-off one.
There was, though, one sticky point: Aunt Melody stipulated in her will that, as part of the terms of my inheritance, I was obliged to give a home to any cat that came looking for one. It took a long court case and lots of clever legal wrangling to get that clause overturned, I can tell you! I'm sure, given what happened to her in her last days, Aunt Melody would not have minded in the least.
The End

US NFP: how to interpret?
US non-farm payrolls data are released at 12:30 GMT.
Forecast: 167K
Previous: 165K
A strong reading (above 165-170K) will increase the odds of the Fed's tapering bond purchases. USD will retrace some of yesterday's losses.
The reading between 170 and 120K will confuse market players. We'll witness extreme volatility. The main moves will likely be at the stock market though.
A weak reading (below 120K) will provide an opportunity to join USD sellers.

The decision (conclusion)Mature
"You can't seriously believe that. Rei, you've seen what happened to other scouts when their partners have died, even the ones who weren't lovers, they're never the same. You have been my entire world since I was eighteen, only you; we've been together for almost ten years! You can't really expect me to be okay with you dying," Asha said. "I am under no delusions that you are not the most important thing in my life and if you're going to die then I might as well go with you to save myself the pain."
"Why would you even think that?" Rei asked, his voice conveying his confusion and shock.
"Because I'm not going to trick myself into thinking that I'll be okay. I know how I feel about you, I know how I'd react if you died but maybe I love you more than you love me," Asha replied, his eyes breaking contact with Rei's and drifting downwards to look at his hands. Quickly Rei pulled Asha to his chest in a fierce embrace as he buried a hand in his thick black hair.
"You are my entire reason for even considering death. I f I was alone I would just leave or let them find me and exile me. But I'm not, I have you, and if I did either of those things they would punish you. I'm not going to let them hurt you because of me and the only way to avoid it is death," he explained.
"Then let's leave, together. Just don't leave me behind," Asha suggested.
"They would mark us deserters and come after us, you know that. They execute deserters Asha," Rei replied.
"Only if they catch them," Asha said with a smile.

American Quarter Horse Association Board of Directors to Consider Eligibility of Cremellos and Amendment of "White Rule"
- Oct 16, 2002
- Topics:
Cremellos or perlinos, which are horses that exhibit light or pink skin over the body, white or cream-colored hair, and blue eyes, might be eligible for registration in the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA). Last week, the AQHA Stud Book and Registration Committee voted to recommend to the Board of Directors (and general membership) that Rule 227 (i) be deleted, which has in the past excluded cremellos, based on information presented by veterinarians, geneticists, and veterinary ophthalmologists. The committee also voted to recommend that the "white rule," Rule 227 (c), be amended; this amendment would allow the offspring of registered American Quarter Horses to be eligible for registration regardless of white markings, if parentage can be verified in those horses displaying white markings beyond designated lines on the horse's body.
The committee met during a special session, so that members would have time to review fully information gathered by staff to discuss these rules, due to the limited time the committee has during its annual meeting each March at the AQHA Convention.
The committee's recommendations will be presented to the general membership and the board of directors in March during the annual convention in Anaheim, Calif.
"This is a positive, proactive way the Stud Book and Registration Committee can evaluate important rules that affect all members," said AQHA President Jim Shoemake. "As I have said before, AQHA maintains its right to draft, adopt and administer rules that have been democratically passed by its members, but just as importantly, we understand that we have an additional responsibility to continually review current rules as to their effect on the Association's members and the breed. I am proud of the members of Stud Book and Registration for taking the additional time necessary to review these rules."
AQHA's Annual Convention is March 7-11, 2003, at the Disneyland Hotel in
Anaheim. Comments or questions regarding AQHA's registration rules should be directed to members of the Stud Book and Registration Committee, AQHA Directors, or write to AQHA's Stud Book and Registration Committee at P.O. Box 200, Amarillo, Texas, 79168. You can also e-mail email@example.com.
The proposed recommendations, a list of AQHA Directors and members of the Stud Book and Registration Committee can be found at www.aqhajournal.com. Information also is available in the November issues of The American Quarter Horse Journal, The American Quarter Horse Racing Journal and America's Horse, AQHA's member publications.

Former All-Star third baseman Placido Polanco agreed to a $2.75 million, one-year contract Thursday with the Miami Marlins, plugging the final hole in the team's projected lineup following a payroll purge. The 37-year-old, who can earn an additional $250,000 in performance bonuses, battled injuries this year and hit .257 with two home runs and 19 RBI in 90 games with the Philadelphia Phillies. The 15-year veteran is a career .299 hitter with 103 homers. Other projected starters include Logan Morrison at first base, Donovan Solano at second, Adeiny Hechavarria at shortstop, Jeff Brantly at catcher, Giancarlo Stanton in right field, Justin Ruggiano in center field and Juan Pierre in left field. Hanley Ramirez played 90 games at third this year for Miami before being traded in July.

Meaner Pastures
Published: November 30, 1993
To the Editor:
Thank you for supporting the carriage horses of New York in "Spare the Horses" (editorial, Nov. 16), and for alerting readers to changes in laws that are meant to protect them.
I know no one who believes City Councilman Noach Dear's bill is of any worth. It is agonizing to see these poor animals engulfed in 20th-century machinery on our streets.
Please keep fighting attempts to take away the few protections these horses have. ELIZABETH GUEST Lebanon, N.J., Nov. 20, 1993

Mangrove Maze
On the southeast end of the island of Key West is a protected mangrove forest that is still relatively unspoiled by development where you get up close and personal with how the Keys looked a long long time ago.
The Mangroves are a species of trees that grow in salt water. They don't require land for nutrients and they have the ability to extract fresh water from the sea water. Mangroves grow into thick convoluted forests with tangled root systems that naturally form winding paths that can be kayaked through. The roots of these unique forests are the nursery ground for many of our reef fish and invertebrates while the dense forestry area is home to a wide variety of birds. As we pass through the heart of this magical forests we enter a new world where two separate worlds exist as one.
The paddle trip itself is at an easy pace and good for beginner paddlers as well as the more experienced. The kayaks we use are sit on top singles or doubles that can be paddled as a tandem or single.
Discover a breath taking world filled with bio diversity that exists in the heart of Key West!

The Mangrove and Salt Pond tour is a very easy paddle tour. Most of the trip is in protected waters away from the winds and seas. It's a great chance to see some wildlife and learn a bit about the history and biology of the Florida Keys.
