In the middle of Nathan Newman's great primer on unions and why they're important, there's an interesting discussion about the various "high road" and "low road" strategies corporations often adopt, and what that means for organized labor:
The commonest metaphor for how unions strengthen the economy is that they force employers on to the "high road" of production-- concentrating on innovation rather than sweating workers, promoting skilled work versus unskilled low-wage labor, and encouraging investment in long-term productivity rather than short-term profits.
Especially in a world of global competition, "low road" companies will inevitably lose to firms in developing nations which can always undercut them on price, so forcing companies into long-term investments in "high road" production is the only way US economic growth will sustain itself in the longer term. I'd suggest a good example hereNew York's garment industry, which, in the postwar era, focused on lowering production costs by colluding with corrupt unions and the Mafia to slash wages and set up sweatshops. But now the industry, whose main selling point is its low prices, faces competition from overseas, where wages are even lower. By contrast, Northern Italy's garment industrywhere workers get paid two to three times what they do in New Yorkhas long competed on quality and innovation, and faces somewhat less overseas pressure (although there's still a fair bit). So I think there's something to Nathan's point.
The post also brings to mind an interesting paper by Roberto Fernandez, who looked at what happened when a food reprocessing plant in the Midwest when it "retooled" and upgraded its production equipment. Not surprisingly, the new technology increased wage inequality within the firm: those workers who could do the new, more complicated jobs requiring greater education saw a leap in pay, and those who didn't were left behind. It's evidence that technological change can and probably does lead to greater wage inequality in the United States (although I doubt it's the whole story).
But. There's a "but" here. One noteworthy thing about the plant was that it was unionized, and thanks to that, the plant owners agreed not to fire any workers prior to retooling but instead to retrain them for their new jobs (in this, they were helped by state programs to pay for retraining). Although this didn't eliminate the adverse impact of the retooling on inequality (especially on racial and gender inequality), it greatly reduced it. More to the point, it worked out well for the firm too, since "workers fretting for their jobs or wages can undo many of the benefits expected from new technology." So score one for unions.

Iocaste explains what yesterday's Supreme Court decision on DNA evidence was all about. For anyone, like me, unfamiliar with the "nasty, brutish, and long" world of habeas corpus, it's very much worth reading.

This is a wretched story: "One of the three detainees who committed suicide at Guantánamo Bay was due to be released but had not been told, the man's lawyer said today." It's not hard to see why he was driven to suicide here:
"His despair was great enough and in his ignorance he went and killed himself," Mr Denbeaux said, adding that many other Guantánamo detainees felt similarly hopeless.
"These people are told they'll be 50 by the time they get out, that they have no hope of getting out. They've been denied a hearing, they have no chance to be released," he said.That's just a tad more likely than Rear Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr.'s claim that he was waging "an act of asymmetrical warfare" by killing himself, no? Previous studies have estimated that over 55 percent of Guantanamo detainees "are not determined to have committed any hostile acts against the United States or its coalition allies," and the vast majority were captured not by the U.S., but by either Pakistan or the Northern Alliance at a time when the United States was offering very large rewards for any "suspected enemies."

The Washington Post conducted a study to determine how racial cues presented in Katrina news coverage influenced citizens' response to the hurricane's aftermath. These racial cues were found in both thematic stories that covered the hurricane in general, and in episodic stories that focused on particular individuals.
Participants in the study were given a thematic story that covered the extent of the flooding and the destruction of parts of New Orleans, and one that focused on lawlessness and looting. Participants were also given episodic stories about victims of various races. About 2,300 people completed the study. Of this group, "the sample was skewed heavily" in the direction of Democrats and liberals: Only 12% identified as Republicans. 86% were critical of Bush's handling of Katrina, and 84% had earned at least a bachelor's degree.
The details of the study may be viewed here. Here are the major findings:
People were willing to give assistance to a white victim, on average, for about 12 months, and they were willing to give the same amount of aid to an African American person for about 11 months. A darker-skinned black victim was selected to receive $100 a month less, over a shorter period of time, than a light-skinned white person. Participants who read an article on looting were the least generous toward African Americans.
"We suspect that this group would score at or very near the top of most measures of support for civil rights and racial equality," Post authors said of the study's participants. "The fact that this group awarded lower levels of hurricane assistance after reading about looting or after encountering an African-American family displaced by the hurricane is testimony to the persistent and primordial power of racial imagery in American life."

At the opening of today's Take Back America conference, hosted by the Campaign for America's Future, progressive leaders, pollsters, Robert Redford and even a bland Senate Minority Leader, Harry Reid, all argued that the conservative era was over and Americans are ready for change. Campaign for America Future's co-director Robert Borsage and pollster Stan Greenberg released a new poll and strategy manual, a roadmap for progressives (okay, liberals) showing that on issues ranging from using international alliances to build our security to regulating business abuses, Americans favor the progressive solutions over the conservative ones."We were asked with this poll, to find out if the country has reached a tipping point. The answer is yes. The conservative world view is in the deepest trouble at its very core philosophical underpinnings."
But the press releases and web pages don't highlight Greenberg's skepticism about the failure so far of the Democrats to convince the public that they offer a better way. Even though the Republican agenda was now "rubble," progressives haven't won over the public or yet reached them effectively. That's the obstacle this conference can help overcome. Check this space for more details and updates.

Businesses have donated $700,000 to Texas House Speaker Tom Craddick to pay for the renovation of his Austin apartment. Craddick and his wife say they do not think it is right for the public to pay for the renovation, but how can it be "right" for Craddick to accept so much money from businesses?
$250,000 came from the AT&T Foundation alone, and another $250,000 came from billionaire investor Harold Simmons and his companies. The nearly 2,000-square foot apartment is the only apartment inside a state capitol in the United States. Craddick and his wife declined an interview with the Associated Press and declined to provide an apartment tour.

The newspapers tell us that Wal-Mart is going to start purchasing and selling "fair trade" coffee. That certainly seems like a good thing, though it's only natural to be suspicious here. Wal-Mart's whole business strategy is to reduce its prices by pushing some of the true costs of its products onto other people—paying workers below-living wages, pressuring its suppliers into lowering their labor standards, forcing customers to drive longer distances to get to its stores, violating environmental laws, etc. etc. But "fair trade" is predicated on the idea that corporations—and customers—should pay the full cost of their products.
Presumably something has to give, no? Perhaps in the future Wal-Mart can reduce its prices on "fair trade" products by lobbying to weaken regulations governing what can count as "Fair Trade Certified." Maybe not, but that seems like a reasonable thing to worry about.

There's not exactly a groundswell for sending more troops overseas these days, but The New Republic's editors are still trying to make the case for intervention in Darfur. The argument's worth reading, although the idea that intervention would "only" take 20,000 NATO troops seems absurdly optimistic, reminiscent of prewar Pentagon estimates about how many troops would be needed to occupy Iraqlow-ball figures that TNR and other liberal hawks have criticized in hindsight. And then there's this:
This is not Iraq: A few weeks ago, thousands of Darfuris demonstrated in a camp, chanting, "Welcome, welcome, USA. Welcome, welcome, international force."
That said, I think Eric Reeves has made a decent case that intervention in Darfur could well succeed and save a lot of lives. But any confidence that it would be simple seems preposterous. To take another "non-controversial" humanitarian intervention, the UN has been in the Balkans for a decade, the region is still extremely unstable, and there are no signs that they can leave anytime soon. So are we talking about a decade-long occupation in Sudan? Maybe. If there's anything to be learned from history, it's that intervening in Darfur would likely be far, far more difficult than anything currently being contemplated.

The Bush administration's war on terror has claimed another victim--namely, the tenuous grip on reality possessed by Rear Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr., the commander of the Guantánamo Bay detention camp. Commenting on the suicides of three detainees, Harris offered this analysis:
"They are smart, they are creative, they are committed," Admiral Harris said. "They have no regard for life, neither ours nor their own. I believe this was not an act of desperation, but an act of asymmetrical warfare waged against us."
I don't think this requires any further comment.

Figure Photo Shoot: Nendoroid Miku Hatsune
It is about time I got this figure. I liked this figure when it first came out but I was saving my money for other things. It was until recently someone was selling her on Tsuki Board and I had some extra cash to spend. I would have to say that this is one of the better looking Miku Hatsune figures released in the last 2 years.
Nendoroid pantie shoots are the best!
I know this photo shoot was short. But honestly, you see one Nendoroid Miku Hatsune photo shoot, you have seen them all.

Let It Snow Mesh Wreath
- 1-2 Hours
- Beginner
Additional Information
- FloraCraft® Foam:
- Wreath: 14"
- Balls: (2) 4", (3) 3" & (2) 2-1/2"
- Design It:®
- Simple Style® 21" Decorative Mesh (Red)
- Simple Style® 10" Decorative Mesh (White)
- Glitter – white or clear
- Chalk board plaque
- White chalk
- Floral pins (S Pins)
- Wood picks: 6"
- StyroGlue®
- Low-temp glue gun & glue sticks
- Scissors
- Toothpick
- Scrap piece of foam
- White glue
- Paintbrush
1. Gather the end of the mesh together and pin to the outside of the wreath at the back edge. Leave the back of the wreath bare so that it will lay flat against the wall or door when hung. Measure out about 12" to 14" from the pinned end and gather the mesh again. Pin this gathered section to the inside of the wreath at the back edge. Measure out another 12" to 14" from this point and gather again. Pin this gathered section again at the outside of the wreath, about 1" over from the first pin. Continue gathering and pinning the mesh at the inside and outside edges all the way around the wreath. Cut the mesh where you stop and pin the end in place.
2. For snowballs, push a toothpick into each of the balls to use as a handle. Brush on a coat of white glue then roll each of the balls into the glitter to completely cover. Pick the snowballs into a scrap piece of foam to dry.
3. Make a bow using the 10" white mesh and tie the bow onto a 6" pick. Pick the bow into the wreath. Using the chalk, write a holiday message onto the chalkboard. Secure the chalkboard plaque to a 6" pick and pick the sign into the wreath, just below the bow. Adding glue to the end of the picks before inserting will give a more secure hold.
4. Glue each of the snowballs onto 6" picks and pick them into the wreath as desired.

According to Telegraph, residents stormed Saint Augustine's Catholic Church, Nenger, Makurdi, to see a Jesus Christ-like image that appeared in the church during a special programme.
Both men and women, Christians and Muslims, trooped in from long distances as the news broke across the state ravaged by the Fulani herdsman since the beginning of the year.
According to witnesses, they said the image which was a carbon copy of the structure of Christ when he rose from death after he was crucified and buried had on its head a crown while the entire body was glittering like a precious stone.
According to the people, this is a confirmation of the provisions of the Holy Bible about the existence of Jesus Christ who came to the world and died for the redemption of sinners.
According to report, residents who stormed the church on sighting the photo which was accompanied by a bright light that overwhelmed the entire church moved close to it and placed their hands on it.
They were screaming, 'Jesus save me', 'Jesus the son of God, have mercy on me', One of the parishioners named Mr Emmanuel Hembenkaan, told a correspondent that he was shocked when he saw the image. He said the photo was seen in the church for the first time since the holy ground was established.
According to Emmanuel, the image appeared on Friday during a 3pm prayer session known as 'Divine Mercy' when the news filtered into town on Sunday night, people rushed to the church yesterday.

Can Nutritional Therapy Cure Social Anxiety?
Social phobia is an anxiety disorder in which a person develops an intense and unreasonable paranoia in simple social situations. This fear is usually triggered by the thought of people constantly watching, judging and undermining.
People with SAD tend to be on the edge of freaking out when they are in social situations, in some cases avoidant personality traits being to develop. Social Anxiety is worsened by lack of social skills and can often lead to panic attacks, sweaty palms, dizziness and intense feelings of unease.
Causes of Social Anxiety
Although research has been ongoing for years now, scientists still cannot pinpoint an exact cause of social anxiety. It is universally agreed by doctors that a few biological imbalances as well as environmental factors play a role in the development of social anxiety.
As shocking as it may seem, recent studies indicate that there may be an important nutritional link in the development social anxiety. Some nutrition experts claim that certain types of social phobia are caused by nutritional deficiencies. A class of social anxiety commonly referred to as Pyroluria can be prevented if the nutrition deficiency is taken care of. Of course, many other experts dismiss this claim.
"The person experiences shyness, inner tension, and social anxiety," Trudy Scott said in one of her emails in which she talked about Pyroluria. "Symptoms usually start in childhood and are made worse under stressful situations. The wonderful thing is that the symptoms can be completely alleviated with taking these supplements: zinc, vitamin B6, and evening primrose oil. People typically start to feel less anxious, less shy, and more social within a week. The important thing is that if you do have pyroluria, you do need to take the supplements always."
Can social anxiety be prevented by nutrition therapy?
In many cases, the results have been incredibly positive, many nutrition experts have dived into this possibility. Many other nutrition experts have already started recommending diet plans to help people relieve themselves of social phobia.
Here are a few popular supplements that help to alleviate symptoms of social anxiety:
Magnesium has a very sound effect on the mental state of the mind without directly interfering with it. Magnesium helps in relaxation of muscles, maintaining the composure of heart, neuromuscular transmission and widening of blood vessels. Deficiency of magnesium is known to cause agitation, cold hands and feet, anxiety, depression, insomnia and in quite a number of cases – noticeable behavioral disturbances.
B Complex Vitamins:
These vitamins act as an energy ignition in our body. B Complex vitamins react with enzymes that can turn carbohydrates into energy. Carbohydrates are our instant source of energy and B complex is the vitamin that sparks the reaction between them and the enzymes. If carbohydrates are not turned into energy, the body goes into a survivalist mode known as ketosis, which is when the body burns fats in the liver to make energy. Lack of B vitamins is known to cause unexplained fatigue, irritability, extreme nervousness and loss of appetite.
We all know calcium is very important for our bones. Along with bone and teeth development, calcium is the main source of maintaining electrolyte balance in our body which then leads to an optimized and sharp nervous system performance. Calcium also takes care of muscle contractions, regulation of cell division and monitored production of healthy hormones. Decreased intake of calcium increases heart palpitations, agitation, insomnia and irritability.
Many people have also found relief of their social anxiety symptoms by taking supplements such as omega-3 fatty acids—which are found in fish, algae, and walnuts. Including fatty fish into your diet multiple times per week is an excellent way to load up on healthy fats.
Although we can't yet pinpoint exactly what causes social anxiety, we have a great understanding of how to treat it from multiple angles. Nutritional therapy is only one single way to treat the condition. A mixture of CBT treatment, meditation, and proper nutrition as well as exercise can completely obliterate any type of anxiety one might experience in a social situation.
If you aren't sure if you have social anxiety, you can take the online social anxiety quiz to get a better understanding of your symptoms.

11. Men (Page 1)
When Princess Hataru finally retired to the captain's quarters, drained and exhausted, the bath she had yearned for quickly plummeted from the top of her priority list. With the grace of a water buffalo, she sighed wearily and threw herself on the bed, trying hard to enjoy the silence of the night, but her head ached, her legs burned, and her foot felt itchy in its bandages. Comfort was a foreign concept for her body. All I want is to fall into a deep sleep and not wake up for a week. Is that too much to ask?
Hataru's face contorted into a horrible scowl. Of course, it is! Why should I think that almost dying twice in one day would give me any right to a good night's sleep?
"Twice?" she breathed aloud. I did, didn't I? I almost died twice today! Twice! And all for the sake of breathable air…
Hataru glanced at the white mask Prince Tarin had given her where it sat on the nightstand by the bed, and gingerly picked it up.
He's so much different than my first impression of him. He only seemed to be interested in pretty girls, then, and ─ she ran her fingers through her ratty tangled hair ─ I must admit I wasn't looking my best when we met earlier today… I wonder… could he really have changed so much in two years? Maybe our arranged meeting wouldn't have been as bad as I was anticipating… Maybe things could have worked out between us… Maybe Gilda was right…
Oh, my word, Gilda!
She bolted upright, dropping the face mask. How could she have forgotten her month-long companion so easily? Well, she was rather annoying with all her complaining… But that's besides the point! That creepy man on the mountain said that they had taken her aboard Kosu's ship. Who knows what they could have done to her by now? We have to rescue her! We─ ah. Oh…
Hataru looked at her lap. Somehow, her hands had unconsciously grabbed a red pillow with an intricate golden pattern and tugged at its tassels until they managed to yank one free.
Glancing around, even though she was very much alone, the princess buried the pillow and its severed appendage under the other other cushions on the bed. Maybe the captain wouldn't notice.
Captain Spry.
He could help.
He's got Jupiter's Return, a great crew, and he certainly has experience in raiding ship. Plus, I've given him plenty of practice in the department of rescuing damsels… But would he even agree to it if I asked?
She thought about how forcibly he had attempted to follow The Black and White Assassin when the fiend attacked the ship a few days ago and how viciously he had fought him in the cave earlier that day. He definitely has some sort of quarrel with the assassin. Maybe the fact that its Kosu's ship will be enough to convince him to help? Or maybe that'll only make him want to stay away… Exasperated, the princess flopped backwards on the mattress. There had to be some way, something she could say, something she could do to to convince him.
Hataru yawned. Her eyes began to flutter. Without thinking, she cocooned herself in the golden blankets on the bed. Sleep was finally coming to her. Whatever she would say to Levi could wait till morning.

Cyprus holidays + Rest and relaxation
Recession may have arrived but if you are feeling the pinch there's no need to abandon your holiday plans

As it seems to go every 6 months or so, its a battle of the collabs. Target vs Kohls. Though for once Kohls is launching before Target. A good two weeks before at that. I'm wondering how that will effect the sales of both companies or if it really will at all? In any case, after spending the last 3 or 4 months KonMaring my entire wardrobe (and yes its still going on), I'm going to try to be much better about what I end up purchasing. In other words, I am going to try very hard not to buy all the things.
I really don't know how well this is going to go.
I did a decently with Lilly Pulitzer for Target, but at the same time, I knew most of that collection wasn't really my style. Adam Lippes and Thakoon are another story. On the plus side, I do have a lot of things working in my non-spending favor. The Adam Lippes collection is very plaid. I mean its literally just all plaid. And, for the most part, its all the same plaid pattern.
These are two are top of my wishlist. You can see that the pattern is the same but the color and styles are different enough where I wouldn't feel like its too repetitive.
I'm also seriously considering this barware set. As much as I loved the Lilly line, it didn't match with our decor (that and MP hated it). This however, will go quite well with everything.
However, all of this really depends on this Thakoon for Kohls plaid vest.
It's a $120. $120! Ugh. Even considering that Kohl's does a 25% off the first week of launch, this is still a $90 vest. I don't know if I can do it. I don't think I've ever bought anything at Kohl's for that much. But its all sorts of amazing and the only thing that really stood out from the line.
This hooded scarf and cardigan are nice but overall the collection is so normal that it lacks incentive to pay the designer mark up.

Well, Adobe still did not open-source the Flash runtime, so we had to re-implement it. I wrote a tool that "screen-scraped" the whole FlashPlayer 11 API from the HTML ASDoc and reverse-engineers it into AS3 code -- of course API-only, and started to fill the gaps.

Another case of redoing Adobe's work! ;-) But really, until now, we did not dare to dig into the Flex compiler code, and what I read in this mailing list is not very encouraging, too. Thus, so far, we kept our own compiler, which is much more light-weight and controllable (at least for us), but of course lacks some important features and is still not 100% compatible with mxmlc. However, we were able to take quite complex AS3 projects and recompile them without changing a single line of code, e.g. Open Flash Charts<http://jangaron.net/ofc3/data-files/joo.html> .

There were more police officers than delegates or protesters, the possession of eggs was a criminal offence and the plans were two years in the making.
But get used to it, security experts say.
The mammoth security and policing operation for the G20 summit in Brisbane was hailed a success on Sunday, with Deputy Commissioner Ross Barnett saying they had set a precedent for large events and protests.
"This really is an opportunity for all of us to set a new standard in police and community relationships on the global stage," he said.
Commissioner Ian Stewart said the United States Secret Service even praised the police's handling of the event, saying he shook US President Barack Obama's hand on Sunday morning and received a "very, very complimentary" assessment of how the operation went.
That operation included 6000 police officers, 1500 of which were from inter-state and New Zealand, an eye-watering arsenal of police machinery in the water and sky, special legislation to ban protest items such as face coverings and eggs, and heavy policing on the streets with officers stopping anyone to search their bags and take their details down in little black books.
In a sign of just how large such operations have become, there was six times more perimeter fencing and twice as many police than the APEC summit in Sydney in 2007. Conversely, there was just a fifth of the number of protesters this time around.
Deputy Commissioner Barnett said there was also a level of co-operation never seen before, including months of conversations with protest groups, resulting in "goodwill and trust on both sides".
Protesters were not allowed to step an inch out of line and many were questioned for wearing headscarves and gas masks but the much-touted bans were relaxed and protests went ahead peacefully.
Protest organiser Ewan Saunders said the climate of fear and over-policing signalled the death of democratic protest, however security expert Clive Williams said it was now widely-accepted as the model for large events in Australia.
"In retrospect, [the police operation in Brisbane] looks like over-reach but it was probably a reasonable assessment based on what the police knew," said Professor Williams, an adjunct professor at Macquarie University's Centre for Policing, Intelligence and Counter-Terrorism.
"The problem is they don't really know what level of opposition they're going to come up against. The unknown element is the anarchists… and the fixated individuals, usually referred to as nutters, who act individually."
A high-ranking NSW police officer said over-kill was necessary in an age of terrorism and "lone wolf" attacks.
"The world climate has changed, we have to have over-kill," he said.
By Sunday morning, Queensland police had issued 24 exclusion orders and charged 11 people.
Terry O'Gorman, president of the Australian Council for Civil Liberties, praised the "professionalism of the police negotiation and protest management" however policing academic Michael Kennedy, from the University of Western Sydney, warned against too much back-patting.
"To say this is a panacea is not right because Queensland, traditionally, has not been the seat of demonstration," he said. "Sure, they've done a good job but they don't have a big student population, they don't have a radical population. It's easy to police a bunch of pensioners."

A question on the back wheels
My brother runs a p2de, and likes the fat wheel look. He used my old set of stock slash wheels and used talons in the back, did you consider that? It might be a little sturdier and more logical than the dual
If a RC never breaks, your doing it wrong
I know. But the 2 wheels means double failures, but using a set of talons or wider wheels in back creates the look at half the the wheels.
If a RC never breaks, your doing it wrong
To be honest, a single wheel will not create the dually look james has got going on...

Agreed the Dually look james has is pretty sweet, and is perfect for the look n truck he is/has created.

Barnaby the bookworm and the unlikely offer
Barnaby was a man who did nothing but read. It was his life, his blood, his bread, and his butter. As a scholar who aspired, like many other scholars, to live in the kings' court, he often learned the most charming of quotes and honed his wit against his peers. Just like many other scholars he was very poor. He lived in a boarding house not far from the palace that was almost falling apart. His room mates were fellow aspiring court advisors. Although he was poor and lived among his competition day after day, he knew that one day he would rise above them. Why, just the other day the King's mistress had giggled at one of his puns. That was definitely promise, if you asked him.
It was another day just like any other but a messenger in the court's royal livery of forest green and silver came knocking on his door. Barnaby's heart beat in his chest as the small boy handed him a rolled piece of parchment and then ran off down the hall. And oh, how those other charlatans glared! How they wished it had been them being delivered a letter from the court! Not wanting to share this glorious moment with anyone, Barnaby stowed the unopened letter deep in the folds of his black scholar's robes, grabbed the unknown bard's book of poems, and then ran from the boarding house. When he was a safe distance away, he opened the parchment and read.
Greetings young scholar,
It has come to our attention that you are of exceptional wit. I know that it is the talk of the slums now, but my daughter has gone missing. The smartest of men have been put to finding her and who suceeded? A apprentince. This had led me to believe that those who lack the experience of my peers, but equal, nay surpass them in talent are the best course for returning Princess Irina back to the palace in one piece. This is where you come in, young man. I am in need of a scholar who knows the old ways and languages, and is not entirely human. With your half-elven heritage, I know that you are more than capable for this endeavor. I eagerly await your reply at the palace within a fortnight, young man.
King Caecilus III
Well. This was new. With the foolhardy energy of the youth, Barnaby turned his attention to the palace and all but ran there, stick legs churning as he ran for the first time. His mind full of glory and the prestige that would surely come if he succeeded.

For several years we have hosted a very popular pullet sale for David's Country Chickens. David is off to college but his sister, Emily has taken over the business.
Emily's Country Chickens will be at the store on Saturday, October 15th starting at 10:00 with 125 pullets. These birds have been raised from chicks in a caring and clean environment and are now ready to find new homes. She will be bringing Ameraucanas, Light Brahmas, Red Star sexlinks, R.I.R., Silver Laced Wyandottes, and assorted exotics (Top Hats, etc). These chicks were hatched mid-July so she has a good idea which ones are cockerels and will not be bringing possible males.
She normally charges $20-25 each. She will start selling them at 10:00 and will be at the store until she runs out. The Eugene Backyard Farmer is only hosting the event so make your checks out to Emily.

Comments about Kids' Brush Holder:
I needed a solid brush holder for small and large brushes. The foundation of this holder is solid wood which will sit in one place with no chance of tipping over. The plexi-glass construction that holds the brushes allows them to sit tall and not lean into each other. Easy to use. This has been the best brush holder that is better than the plastic type.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Meeting AlezaeMature
We moved in abosolute silence. My mind wandered on Alissa, our parting kiss, a final farewell. I swallowed, forcing myself to brush the thought aside - we had to focus on the business before us.
"Here we split," I stopped Tony, grabbing his arm. I didn't like the thought of separating, but he had insisted and, despite the danger of being apart, I also believed the idea quite good and efficient.
He nodded gravely. His excited, fiery eyes had cooled to a cool, solemn darkness that made me shiver, his expression serious and grim. I offered him my hand, which he held firmly, "Thank you, Andrion. I cannot express how much this means to me."
I tightened my grip before releasing it, "I understand. This is what is right. Now, be careful."
"You too."
All being said, all prepared for, we nodded to one another once more and went our separate ways. We both knew our own way as well as we knew each other, wandering the halls and nooks and places for countless years. Drawing the cloak over my head, I set off down the familiar passageways, mainly empty, going, for the most part, unnoticed. I said a silent prayer, hoping that Anthony was having as much good fortune as I was having thus far.
A strong hand snatched my arm, reaching from the shadows, my heart involuntarily jumping into my throat. "Andrion?" came the quiet whisper, a familiar voice that registered instantaneously. I turned sharply, looking directly into the eyes of a former friend, gentle, searching, yet mantained the death's grip on my arm. He served under Alezae as I had, brothers in our league of guardians.
He did not allow me the answer, eyes deep with fear, with concern, with anxiety, voice throbbing with urgency. "Leave now!" he said firmly. "They know you are coming - Leave!"
"No," I replied gravely. "This is what I must do, Lyser, and not even you can stop me. You should have escaped while you had the chance. This whole place...it is corrupt...corrupted by darkness! Will you just watch as the universe is swallowed in shadow?"
Lyser drew a long, pale sword, "I am sorry, my dear old friend. My vow, my allegiances, still lie with Alezae, and I must fulfill my duty. I was set here, to await you're arrival. Do not make me fight you, take you in. Escape while you can!"
"I am sorry," I pulled my own weapon, swallowing. A glimpse of Alissa passed before my eye - the flutter of her lashes, the warmth of her eyes, the brilliance of her love. But, no, I could not think of her now, could not think of myself.
"You have missed your opportunity...," Lyser said slowly, sadly, and before I could blink he threw himself at me in a furious rage, wielding his long silver sword. Nearly knocked off my feet, I was only able to throw up my sword in defense just to protect against his brutal attack. Though it did not take long for me to regain my balance, and we engaged in a complex dance, the striking of metal-against-metal like silver streaks of lightning, echoing and rolling down the halls like thunder.
Finally I knocked the weapon from the master swordsman's hands in one fierce blow. I lowered my own sword, no intentions to hurt my old friend, the both of us tired and panting, stained with sweat. Yet I realized that he would not give up, wrestling me to the ground and ripping the sword from my own hand with unexpected strength. "I cannot allow you to pass....," he grunted through his teeth, reaching for the nearest sword as we kicked and punched at each other like boys. "...they'll kill me....,"
By now sympathy was long gone and a clock was ticking loudly in my head. Get out of here, you're running out of time....everyone else will hear the commotion and there'll be no chance of getting out of here... Remembering the daggers strapped to my waist, I fumbled to reach for one, only to find myself pinned tightly against the ground, unable to grasp at one of the deadly blades. I pushed against his grip, faltering ever so slightly, closing my eyes....digging, searching deep inside me for the power, the magic to release myself from this human chain.
Lyser was no idiot. Realizing what I was doing, he skillfully grabbed my head and banged it against the hard ground. Everything blurred inside me, thoughts mashing, blending together, my head throbbing with a searing pain. I tried to focus, to push through the dense fog clouding my senses, only to have him repeat the same thing...slowly, I was losing myself...losing myself to the darkness....
Andrion! I felt the warm tug of her connection, the strength of her love, filling me, every limb, every vein. Don't give up! Let me help you... I was unable to protest as she drained valuable energy from herself into me, putting strength where there was weakness. I began returning back to life, feeling the searing, sudden power gathering like a storm. Thinking that I was out, that his fight, his duty, was complete, Lyser softened his grip, breathing heavily. I could hear him, vaguely, murmuring between struggled breaths, "Andrion...my friend, I am so sorry...you made me do this to you...so...sorry..."
Feeling all the power, I leapt to my feet, snatching my sword in one quick motion. Lyser looked to me in shock, but it soon faded. Remaining in an exhausted heap on the floor, he stared into my eyes, shaking his head wryly, "I should've known that you wouldn't have given up so quickly."
I stifled a small smile, "I shouldn't have underestimated your fighting skills, old friend."
Lyser grinned, leaning back against the wall, closing his eyes, "Shouldn't you be somewhere, Andrion?"
But I was already gone, racing down the halls with renewed energy; quiet, fleet, longstrided steps, attempting to make up for the lost time. There was shuffling around nearby, people alerted by the sounds of our fight, but I escaped their notice as well, continuing with all haste and determination. I knew exactly where I was going.
I walked out into the open, meeting the eyes of the former holder of my heart. Alezae was sitting calmly on the throne. She was balancing a silvery orb in her hand, smiling coldly at me - a smile that reached its chilly hand right down into my stomach.

"Tony Blair had the huge advantage of having to fight a broken and exhausted Tory party that visibly wanted to get out of government and just fight itself without having to be responsible for anything. There was simply no question he was going to win the next election, all that varied from 1994-7 were the estimates of the majority (and the Tories were discredited in late 92, they were already doomed even before "New Labour").
"From 1997-2004 there was simply no serious opposition party against the Blair government. Hague was never more than a joke, IDS actually managed to be worse, and it shows how desperate things were (and the changed landscape after the Iraq invasion alienated a load of left voters) that Michael Howard was the first serious contender against him.
"Blair's legacy was to get the Tories to finally pick a tribute act as their leader. And then he cleared off before the wheels fell off."
Richard explains why he chose this comment:
"It concisely undermines the mystique of the Blairites, particularly the idea that they are uniquely good at winning elections. In debates of this kind, you can't move for someone snorting "yeah, but Blair won three elections". He lost 3m votes in his first term alone; if it hadn't been for a pathetic opposition, he'd have been a one-term loser. That's how I'll always think of him."
Fortress tells us his reasons for commenting on Seymour's piece, and gives us a bit of personal information:
For how long have you commented on Cif?
I've been commenting on Cif since 2010.
How would you describe the community of commenters you find here?
I'm not sure there is a "community" of commenters. There are a few familiar names but there are also ongoing regular battles. I have my own personal list of people I respect, whose accounts I look up to see what they're writing.
Why did you feel motivated to comment on this piece?
I just wanted to make a point about how Blair looked back in the 90s, before he was in power. I think there's a certain degree of mythologising about the great shifts in public attitudes that Thatcher is supposed to have affected; the truth is more that a lot of her "legacy" was only set in stone in the 90s and a generation has grown up accepting it since then. The crystallisation was achieved by Blair, who had the benefit of little opposition within or without his party.
In regards to your comment highlighted here, do you feel you changed the conversation or moved the debate on?
I don't think my comment had too much impact on the thread itself.
Where are you in the world?
I live and work in London.

Part of that has been due to a heavy injury toll, especially in the outside backs. Although they lost at Leeds last weekend, for instance, they could legitimately point to the absence of three strike players - Leon Pryce, Lesley Vainikolo and Shontayne Hape - who could have made it a very different game if they had been on the field.
Pryce is back after suspension for today's game at Wakefield, but it is his long-term future that is of more concern to Bulls supporters, with the club's chairman, Chris Caisley, as good as admitting that the player will be joining St Helens next season.
Saints cleared the way for adding Pryce to their squad last week by telling Jason Hooper that they have no room for him on their import quota next season. He should have no difficulty finding a new club if he wants to stay in England, with Salford the early favourites to sign him.
The chances are equally strong that the Bradford and Great Britain winger Stuart Reardon will be with Warrington Wolves next year. Brian Noble is going to have some gaps to fill.
He does at least appear to have filled one that has loomed large this season with the signing of the Torquay-born hooker Ian Henderson from the Australian club Parramatta. Henderson made a steady and encouraging debut against Leeds and will be more effective at getting his forwards running the way they used to as he gets to know them better.
Against that, the Bulls will be without Robbie Paul for the forthcoming five weeks with a broken hand - the latest in a series of injuries that have interrupted his last couple of seasons.
That will put extra respon-sibility on the shoulders of Iestyn Harris, who responded well last week to the indignity of being relegated to the substitutes' bench.
Wakefield themselves showed improved form last week against Saints - their first game under the caretaker-coaching of Tony Smith - but they desperately need a victory.
Even a couple of wins now would probably be too late for Leigh, who are at Huddersfield in today's other game. Super League's basement club put in a big effort against Wigan last week, but they are now too far adrift to have any realistic hopes of survival.
The Giants have plenty to prove after a limp performance at Salford last time out, and will have to improve immeasurably if they are to have any hopes of finishing in the top six.Reuse content

Paintings and poems
Suicide girl...
Watch me as I fall,
Flailing madly,
It's the dance of the damned.
Glee, Glamour of the death.
Beautiful angel, falling from grace.
Towards static fireflies...
Cotton, Polyester, Porcelain angels.
As the air sings in their ears.
Oh, how beautiful....
From a bridge, or a tower.
Heaven's not enough for them....
Fall, falling for relief....
Granted, life's best gift.
A graceful end,
Fell eternally for this...
People stare, Reach out their arms.
"My god, help them!"
They are fallen angels.
Dresses floating out around them,
Swans, in best plumage.
Freefalling though life.
Painting the streets red,
Art from art, it seems.
A tragedy in motion.
Swan songs, sang from above.
Cries in the night.
Necklaces, dresses.
Blood and tears.
Why waste lives, Thoughts of men
Who notice them NOW...
Fallen angels. Swans.
Moonlight, Night time.
Gothic beauty.
Passion and bursting hearts.
The art of suicide.
Hair in a tangle.
Now paintings and poems.
Paintings And Poems....

F Plan
Last updated: 07/05/2013
Tesco has set an ambitious goal to become a zero carbon retailer by 2050, as well as a number of demanding interim targets to reach by 2020 to reduce our carbon emissions – in our own operations, in the products we sell and by helping our customers to do the same.
Around 14% of Tesco's own operational carbon footprint comes from our distribution activities – delivering over 3 billion cases of goods to our stores each year – the F plan helps us to reduce these emissions.
The F Plan
In 2007, we set ourselves a target to halve the distribution emissions per case of goods we delivered by 2012. To help us achieve this, we launched the "F Plan" in the UK, a simple strategy to underpin every operational efficiency activity within Tesco Distribution. The strategy is based on four pillars:
- Fuller cages and/or pallets – maximising the amount of goods delivered each
- Fuller trailers and/or containers – maximising the amount of goods delivered
each journey
- Fewer miles – reducing the number of miles we have to drive
- Fuel economy – increasing the distance we can drive for each litre of fuel used
In focus: UK activities to reduce emissions
Since the introduction of the F Plan in the UK, we have saved 56 million litres of diesel, nearly 150,000 tonnes CO2e and taken 117 million miles off the road. Below are some examples of how we achieved this, which highlight our work under the "fewer miles" pillar of our F plan.
- Double decker trailers – These can carry 67% more load than a conventional 13m trailer. Tesco operates the largest fleet of double decker trailers in the UK.
- Network optimisation – This involves ensuring our distribution centres are in the right location and have the right capacity to serve our stores.
- Mode shift to rail - We now operate 5 dedicated rail services 6 days a week. On the outward leg, the trains transport products part of the way to our stores
and on the way back, they pick up products from our suppliers transporting them to the distribution centre. In May 2011 we opened our rail enabled National Distribution Centre next to the east coast main line at Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal.
Roll out to the rest of the Tesco Group
The F Plan was pioneered in the UK but it is now followed throughout the Tesco Group. For example, in South Korea and China we have been able to significantly increase our trailer fill by retraining our colleagues on cage and pallet assembly and trailer reloading. In Malaysia, we have been increasing the use of larger vehicles. By carrying more goods in each journey that we make, we can reduce the total amount of trips made. In Central Europe and Turkey, we have been investing in new trucks which have a higher fuel economy, reducing the amount of diesel used for each mile driven.
Progress against our targets so far
Our first distribution carbon target was to halve the emissions per case of goods delivered across the Group by 2012. We met this target in the UK but not across the whole Group, where we achieved a 24% reduction. This is because in our developing markets, such as China and Thailand, we have to develop a new distribution system from scratch. This network development takes time. As this happens, significant improvements can be achieved because stores and distribution centres become better connected.
At the beginning of 2012, we set a new long-term target to reduce carbon emissions per case delivered by 25% by 2020 against a baseline of 2011/12. At the end of 2012/13, our emissions per case delivered had increased by 0.4% from our 2011/12 baseline. This is also due to the growth of our business in developing markets such as Thailand and Turkey where we are opening new stores further away from our existing distribution centres. This means that our trucks have to take longer trips which has a negative effect on the entire Group position. The F Plan is helping to minimise the increase and seven out of 11 countries did reduce their emissions per case delivered. We expect to see a decrease this year.

Shopping and BBQ
Last night we were primed for a day of BBQ only to discover that the festival started at 6pm. This gave us an unexpected extra day and Nadia's extensive research led us to believe the only option was some more outlet shopping. The outlet was about 40 minutes drive away and with nothing much else planned we had a bit of a sleep in. We arrived at the outlet just after 11am and headed straight for the food as we hadn't found anywhere good ...
Getting close to nature, part 2
We drove from Columbia toward Cary today, spending most of the day in the car.
The highlight of the day was a visit to the Carolina Tiger Rescue. This is an amazing organisation which rescues and cares for Tigers and other carnivores which have been either seized or surrendered from private owners. It is legal in some US states, including North and South Carolina, to buy and keep all sorts of wild animals as pets! There are more tigers held ...
Savannah to Raleigh
... The houses remind me so much of the notebook & saw the actual movie theatre that Noah & Allie went to and laid in the road by! We drove down by the waterfront & the houses were insane!!! Massive ones with columns out the front and giant patios. Such a beautiful place! Would love to have stayed longer but we had lunch there at a water front restaurant which was so fresh & tasted so good. Then we wandered through the markets until we had to go ...

... We will be without running water until we can replace that housing. Looks like a trip to Camping World.
We had an early dinner and went to bed.
Next step will be to get ready for Hawaii.

Australia are so close to an Ashes whitewash they can almost taste it.
England took the opportunity to feebly collapse once more on day two in Sydney and leave the home side with another giant first innings lead that they extended comfortably into the evening.
Chris Rogers strode into the pavilion with a beaming smile on 73 not out as his team sat 311 runs ahead of England thanks to their 155 all out in the first half of the day.
Arriving at the ground in the morning under blue skies and with freshness in the air, it just felt like a terrific day for batting, certainly far removed from day one.
Yet within three minutes of the game beginning, Australia had made it look like a muggy, overcast day in Nottingham.
Ryan Harris was right on the money with his second ball, but not even he could believe that Alastair Cook left another straight one as it cannoned into his pads.
Cook's negative mindset to simply survive early on did for him and the decision was an easy one.
Ian Bell, after falling for a golden duck in the second innings in Melbourne, should have gone first ball when he edged Harris straight into Shane Watson's giant hands at slip.
Incredibly the all rounder put it down and Bell survived, not that he made much use of his extra life.
At the other end James Anderson was being used as a bowling range target by Mitchell Johnson.
The Burnley bowler was full of bravery in trying to deal with the paceman, but on two occasions his hands got in the way of the ball rather than the bat and the pain was obvious.
As the physio arrived to treat him, the least his batting team-mates could do was watch on with red shameful cheeks.
When Johnson eventually had him caught in the slips his work had been done, and it was time for the batsmen to stand up.
Kevin Pietersen lasted precisely nine balls before driving loosely outside off stump and edging behind for three.
While Bell managed a total of two from 32 balls, a complete waste of time.
At 23-5 England were facing their most embarrassing day of the series. It had already qualified as the worst morning.
Thankfully they had two young lads ready to do battle in the shape of Gary Ballance and Ben Stokes and the pair took them safely past their lowest ever total of 45 all out made on the same ground in 1887.
After lunch though things fell apart.
Ballance pushed forward with hard hands to Nathan Lyon throughout his third over and from the fifth ball, he edged behind.
He could at least be happy with a first innings contribution of 18. It wasn't spectacular, but it was solid enough to suggest that he could score runs at this level.
The same could be said of Jonny Bairstow who also made 18, but he has played enough Test cricket to be able to turn a start into something more.
He has got into double figures in each of his last 12 innings, but only made 50 or more twice. The art of building an innings is something he needs to grasp quickly.
All the while Stokes was continuing his fine start to his Test career and backing up his 6-99 with more runs with the bat.
He looked set for a half century when he too decided to leave a straight ball. This one didn't hold its line anywhere near Cook's yet it hit his off stump flush. A bad leave after a good knock.
Scott Borthwick and Boyd Rankin did enough in support of Stuart Broad to get England past the follow on target of 127 and up to their eventual 155, but that really is clutching at straws.
Broad's thrash for 30 not out was mildly entertaining, but it merely turned a gigantic first innings lead into a huge one.
With 171 runs already behind them, David Warner and Chris Rogers got off to another flyer.
Anderson trapped Warner for 16 lbw round the wicket and had Watson well held by the keeper for just nine.
Michael Clarke edged Broad and was caught for six, while first innings centurion Steve Smith could only manage one more before Cook took the catch off Stokes at slip.
England were taking wickets and looking quite good, but all the while Rogers was batting beautifully and registering his eighth score of 50 or more in the 10 Tests between these two sides.
Only one other man on either side has done the same thing – fellow 36-year-old Brad Haddin.
By the close Rogers had taken his team off into the distance. Way off, and they've got the Ashes with them.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Hi folks-
I've been putting out xerox and ditto zines for years, then more recently a newsprint zine and finally a compilation book. Now, due to being completely broke-ass broke, I am faced with the dilemma of putting my next book on the back burner, or using something like Createspace, which has a really low/no upfront cost.
I'm not sure which bugs me more, the thought of not getting the book…
