"I'm extremely happy with the final product and the service Tiny Prints provided. My cards arrived extremely quickly and I love them!"
"Beautiful card and I'm always impressed with the turn around time of Tiny Prints. So wonderful for a busy mother who is running behind on birthday planning"
"I absolutely LOVED these invitations! I was so impressed with the quality of the paper and image color/clarity. They were so simple but as they say, "less is more!" These were so PERFECT for my baby's Western Themed Birthday Party. This was my first time ordering from Tiny Pints and I will definitely be a returning customer!"
"This invite came exactly as described/pictured in the example and we received a lot of compliments on it. Paper & printing quality were great, with no smudges/blurred lines/over-saturation. We added a photo of my son and revised the event info to personalize, and all of that came out exactly as we had requested with no mistakes. I ended up using the invite theme for the overall theme of my son's party because I liked it so much!"
"We put a basic picture of our daughter on the front and chose to put one photo of her dressed as superman and flying through the air (in her daddy's hands) on the back. We got a lot of praise from our friends and family about how cute the card was. Now the pressure is on to put on a great superhero party!"

Sofas on balconies, magnificent vistas and someone on hand to cater to your every whim. This is Hotel Relais Villa del Golfo & Spa on Sardinia's dazzling shore of Cannigione where kicking back has never been so luxurious, so spoiling and bewitching. But if sofa-surfing in the sun has you itching for some adventure, Hotel Relais Villa del Golfo's private yacht is readily available for exploring the Maddalena archipelago, Corsica and the Emerald Coast's impossibly beautiful beaches.
But before you take to the water or head out on a tour by foot, horse or jeep and maybe enjoy a cooking and/or wine-tasting course, days begin with an incredible breakfast of home-made, freshly baked bread and cakes, just-picked fruit and veg, Italian cold meats and cheeses. Happy Hours follow on later at the bar in addition to fine gastro fare at Miraluna prepared from fresh ingredients sourced from the hotel estate. An alternative option is Le Colti located at the nearby farm, which serves traditional dishes of home-made pasta and bread, and meat and vegetables reared and grown on-site.
No visit is complete without a swim in the sea via the hotel's beach deck and a trip to Harmony Spa, which guarantees to take stresses away. Once in your jelly-like state of relaxation, there's nothing for it but to flop into your luxury suite facing the stunning bay (most rooms have sea views and a private garden).

Managing Nitrogen to Protect Water Resources
Nitrogen management is a major factor in the quality of sugar beets and small grains. However, the potential benefits of this relatively inexpensive amendment to the crop can result in excessive applications. The mobility of the NO3-N ion through the soil and the large amount of N fertilizer used makes nitrogen management particularly problematic (Smika et al., 1977).
To avoid the risk of yield reduction, farmers may over-irrigate and over-fertilize their crops. However, the risk of contaminating surface and subsurface water resources greatly increases under this type of management. Emerging site-specific (variable rate) fertilization technologies can potentially reduce the excess use of fertilizers while maintaining crop production.
In summary, controlling surface applications, minimizing water and reducing agrochemical loss below the crop root zone are the most cost-effective methods of ground water protection (Hergert, 1986; Ritter, 1986; Power and Schepers, 1989; Fletcher, 1991; Watts et al., 2000).

Election Protection
Should the Presidential election be postponed in the event of a terrorist attack? Today's Newsweek story that Tom Ridge sought guidance from the Justice Department brought a flood of diverging opinions. Some smelled a conspiracy, while others were angry at the media for bring the issue up at all.
In our ongoing bid to publish listener feedback, here's a selection of your comments. Please email us your thoughts (and let us know where you're listening).
The delay of the election has been a "conspiracy" thing circulating on the internet for a while and seemed too unreal to take seriously. But now it's real! I don't care what happens to us – more crashing planes, dirty nuclear bombs, anthrax. I want an election! Nothing trumps an election in a real democracy.
In "investigating the possibility of postponing the presidential election in
the event of a terror attack", is the Bush administration admitting to the
American people that they [administration] do NOT have the confidence in
themselves to prevent any terrorist attacks from happening in the first
If there was another attack, the possibility of the Bush administration to "postpone" or even cancel the election in an extreme time of fear I believe is a very real possibility. The Bush administration has used extraordinary circumstances in the past to win an election.....
Remember the movement post-9-11 to keep on Rudy Giuliani as mayor for an unspecified time, rather than turning the reigns of power over to a new and untested individual? Seemed plausible at the time, didn't it? But Michael Bloomberg took over in what seems now like a seamless transition. How much would we be regretting now a one-time change back then?
I'm disgusted that you would even suggest a debate on postponing the elections. Apparently, you remain open-minded about any nut idea that the right floats.

Economy runs out of steam in October
By David Ljunggren
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's economy stalled in October after four consecutive months of growth, pointing to a fourth-quarter slowdown as increasing global uncertainty mutes expectations for next year.
Statistics Canada said on Friday that October gross domestic product was unchanged from September, matching the forecast of analysts who cited financial turmoil in Europe and a troubled U.S. economy as factors slowing Canada's economy.
"The Canadian economy has already exhibited signs of domestic demand fatigue - household balance sheets are stretched and will likely keep consumer spending subdued," said TD Securities strategist Mazen Issa.
Analysts said annualized fourth-quarter growth was unlikely to breach 2.0 percent, well below the 3.5 percent recorded in the third quarter.
Issa said subdued U.S. growth and sluggish Canadian exports meant "the first half of 2012 is expected to be tumultuous" and predicted the Bank of Canada would keep interest rates low the entire year.
Canada's currency slipped after the data, weakening to C$1.0190 against the greenback, or 98.14 U.S. cents, down from about C$1.0183, or 98.20 U.S. cents, immediately before the figures were released.
Statscan said output of goods-producing industries fell by 0.2 percent in October from September, cancelling out a 0.2 percent increase in the services sector.
The utilities sector dropped by 1.5 percent on lower demand for both electricity and natural gas, while mining and oil and gas extraction were off 0.2 percent. These declines offset a 0.3 percent gain in manufacturing. Continued...

Product Details
Window Clear (WCL1G) by Eco Touch®, 1 Gal. Clean your windows without alcohol or ammonia burning your eyes. Dissolves bugs, fingerprints and grime with plant-derived ingredients and natural minerals.
- Safe for tinted windows
- Uses coconut-derived surfactants
- Alcohol-free
- Ammonia-free
- Streak-free
- 100% recyclable packaging
- Made in the USA
Most glass cleaners rely on ammonia or alcohol of some sort to cut greasy fingerprints and float dirt off the glass surface. Window Clear relies on a coconut-derived blend of surfactants instead. That spares you from inhaling harsh chemicals or getting them in your eyes or using them around your family or pets. This all-natural product is safe to use on tinted automotive glass, as well as tinted mirrors or household glass. Simply spray on the window and buff off, preferably with a clean microfiber towel.
Founded in 2007, Eco Touch is dedicated to bringing products to market that are not only effective, but eco-friendly, plant-derived where possible, and distributed in recyclable containers and packaging. Part of that effort includes reducing the consumption of water while keeping vehicles clean, and to reduce the use of harsh chemicals like solvents, additives and VOCs in household products.

Eco Touch products are now distributed in more than 20 countries and online.

Pedestrian safety in MN is in the news again with this article from the Star Tribune:
Minnesota cities upgrade to address crosswalk danger
The article mentions a number of new technologies that engineers are using to try to improve safety conditions for pedestrians in crosswalks (which includes cyclists).
Alarmed by the rising number of pedestrian deaths across Minnesota, cities are turning to catchy new, high-tech ways to keep cars and pedestrians from clashing in crosswalks.
From Brooklyn Center to Becker, almost a dozen cities are melting asphalt and brightly colored plastic in distinct markings stamped into the pavement. More cities are installing countdown timers that let pedestrians know how much time they have to safely cross. And Edina is one of the few cities in the Midwest with blinking orange lights embedded in a street to catch drivers' eyes.
I've recommended strategies like these to clients on numerous occasions. The clients typically report that these strategies are effective, but of course, most clients do not conduct before-and-after studies to confirm this. The Strib article acknowledges that we don't know to what extent these devices are effective:
Some experts caution research hasn't proved the new markings are more effective at alerting drivers.
"Right now, they're new and different and eye-catching," said Sue Groth, state traffic engineer. "But are the motorists going to be looking at the pavement markings and not at pedestrians? Are they more effective is the question that needs to be answered."
Whether the devices themselves result in a measurable safety improvement is one question. Another question is to what extent the benefits of these products are diminished as they become more widely deployed. Flashing lights at one crosswalk may raise driver awareness because they are unique. If flashing lights were installed at every crosswalk, the benefits of all installations may be diminished as they are no longer unique.
The article also touched on a pet-peeve of mine:
In St. Paul, city engineers say they haven't seen a difference in incidents after special markings were put in at the Selby Avenue and Victoria Street intersection. Instead, they worry it gives pedestrians a false sense of security.
The "false sense of security" theory is largely unfounded, though it is widely repeated. Studies have shown that in certain circumstances, pedestrian crashes are higher at locations with marked crosswalks compared to similar locations without marked crosswalks. However, there is no evidence to conclude that this is because pedestrians are exhibiting riskier behavior where crosswalks are present. It may be the case, but this has not been demonstrated. For more on this topic, see pages 4-10 of this study.

I have heard from a trusted friend that horizontally opposed engines run a little hotter then "V" blocks. He told me he wouldn't use anything less than 10w 40 (in a wrx) and that here in Raleigh (summertime temp. around 92-99f) I should use 20w 50 in the summer and 10w 40 in the winter. He also said that when he was a mechanic for Richmond P.D. (1970's) that they used Havoline oil. "You never saw a cop car broken down on the highway have you?".
I really don't want to turn this forum into a flame/personal oppinion hotbed, I just don't want to hurt the car.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

COMMERCE— Texas A&M University – Commerce's football team has returned to campus and will open its 2014 preseason camp Thursday morning.
The Lions officially returned to campus on Tuesday with returners picking up their equipment and a brief evening team meeting. Wednesday morning, the team took headshots, got physicals and did concussion testing. Position meetings will be held in the early evening along with meetings with the academic staff, compliance staff and media relations staff.
"We're happy to see everybody on campus," said head coach Colby Carthel. "It's like Christmas in August for football coaches. It looks like the guys have put in a lot of hard work over the summer, and we're excited to hit the field and get things rolling Thursday."
Thursday morning following a bright and early wake up call, the Lions will dawn helmets and hit the practice field at Memorial Stadium for their first practice of the preseason. Due the NCAA's acclimation period the team can only wear helmets for the first two days, shells (shoulder pads) for days three and four and can't put on the full pads until day five.
Important Upcoming Lion Football Dates
Thurs., August 14 – First on-field practice (helmets)
Sat., August 16 – Practice (shells)
Mon., August 18 Practice (full pads)
Sat., August 23 – Scrimmage No. 1
Mon., August 25 – First day of class at A&M-Commerce

We're midway through summer and you can already see everything your kids learned in school slipping away like the waterdrops off their swimsuits. It's time to start thinking about heading off complete summer brain drain.
Luckily, the Chicago area offers plenty of opportunities to have some fun while sneaking in a little learning about history, art and geography.
Here are a few ideas to make sure little brains stay engaged the rest of the summer.
Family outings can be easily adapted depending on the age of the child, and activities before or after a visit to a local landmark can supplement what you've learned.

Bob Wills
Original name: James Robert Wills
Mar. 6, 1905
Limestone County
Texas, USA
May 13, 1975
Fort Worth
Tarrant County
Texas, USA
Country Music Singer, Songwriter, and Bandleader. Known as the "King of Western Swing," he is considered by music authorities as the co-founder of Western swing. Born on a farm, his father raised cotton and was a Texas champion fiddle player. He grew up in a musical family and learned to play the fiddle and mandolin at an early age and the family often held country dances in their home. In 1913 his family moved to Hall County in the Texas Panhandle and in 1919 they moved to a farm between the towns of Lakeview and Turkey, Texas. When he was 16, he left the family and drifted for several years, traveling from town to town to try to earn a living. He attended barber school in his 20s he attended barber school, got married, and moved first to Roy, New Mexico, then returned to Turkey, Texas to work as a barber. In 1929 he moved to Fort Worth, Texas where. There he played in minstrel and medicine shows, and continued to work as a barber. After meeting Herman Arnspinger, they formed the Wills Fiddle Band, later changing the name to the Light Crust Doughboys and added singer Tommy Duncan in 1932. In 1934 he formed a new band called The Playboys and they traveled to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and shortly afterward to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and began broadcasting noontime shows over radio station KVOO and changed the band's name to the Texas Playboys. Their popularity grew and he added a trumpeter and saxophone player to the group. By 1935 he had added horn and reed players, a piano player, a steel guitarist, as well as drums to the Playboys. The addition of steel guitar whiz Leon McAuliffe in March 1935 added not only a formidable instrumentalist but a second engaging vocalist. He and the Playboys did their first recordings on September of that year in Dallas, Texas. He favored jazz-like arrangements and the band found national popularity into the 1940s with such hits as "Steel Guitar Rag," "New San Antonio Rose" (which sold over a million records and became the band's signature song), "Smoke On The Water," "Stars And Stripes On Iwo Jima," and "New Spanish Two Step." In 1940 he and his band co-starred with Tex Ritter in the film "Take Me Back To Oklahoma." His other film credits include "The Lone Prairie" (1942), "Riders Of The Northwest Mounted" (1943), "Saddles And Sagebrush" (1943), "The Vigilantes Ride" (1943), "The Last Horseman" (1944), "Rhythm Round-Up" (1945), "Blazing The Western Trail" (1945), and "Lawless Empire" (1945). In December 1942, after several band members had left the group, and as World War II raged, he joined the US Army received a medical discharge in 1943. He then moved to Hollywood, California, reorganized the Texas Playboys, and broadcast through the week over radio station KMTR-AM (now KLAC) in Los Angeles, California and played regularly every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night at the Mission Beach Ballroom in San Diego, California. In November 1944 he and the Playboys began first cross-country tour in November 1944 and appeared at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1945 he moved to Fresno, California and two years later he opened the Wills Point nightclub in Sacramento and continued touring the Southwest and Pacific Northwest from Texas to Washington State. His dances were outdrawing those of legendary bandleaders Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey. While based in Sacramento, his broadcasted over radio station KFBK which was heard all over the West. In the late 1940s he and the Playboys recorded the hits "Roly Poly," "Stay A Little Longer," "Sugar Moon," and "Bubbles In My Beer." By that time his binge drinking made him increasingly unreliable, which caused a rift with Tommy Duncan (who bore the brunt of audience anger when his alcohol problem prevented him from appearing). It ended when he fired Duncan in the fall of 1948. The following year moved back to Oklahoma City and went back on the road to maintain his payroll and his dance club Wills Point. He opened a second club, the Bob Wills Ranch House in Dallas, Texas. Turning the club over to managers later revealed to be dishonest left him in desperate financial straits with heavy debts to the Internal Revenue Service for back taxes that caused him to sell many of his assets. In 1950 he had two Top 10 hits, "Ida Red Likes The Boogie" and "Faded Love." After 1950 radio stations began to increasingly specialize in one form or another of commercially popular music. Although labeled 'country and western," he did not fit into the popular Nashville country and western stations and while he frequently played pop music, he was not accepted in the pop music world. He continued to tour and record through the 1950s into the early 1960s, despite the fact that Western swing's popularity, even in the Southwest, had greatly diminished. After suffering two heart attacks in 1965, he dissolved the Texas Playboys (who briefly continued as an independent unit) to perform solo with house bands. While he did well in Las Vegas and other areas, and made records for the Kapp Records label, he was largely a forgotten figure. In 1969 he suffered a stroke which paralyzed his right side and ended his career. By 1971 he recovered sufficiently to travel occasionally and appear at tribute concerts and in December 1973 he participated in a final 2-day reunion session with members of some the Texas Playboys to record an album. During this time he suffered another stroke, followed by a more severe one a few days later and became comatose, and the musicians completed the album "For The Last Time" without him. He lingered for five months and died of pneumonia at the age of 70. In 1968 he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the Early Influence category along with the Texas Playboys in 1999, and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007. In 2003 he was ranked number 27 in Country Music Television's 40 Greatest Men in Country Music.

Sainsbury's today put clear daylight between itself and the grocery market leader Tesco by posting its 34th consecutive quarter of sales growth.
This was largely driven by a strong performance from its smaller stores, online grocery business and consumers putting record numbers of its own-label products in their baskets. The country's third-biggest supermarket chain grew its underlying sales, excluding fuel, by 0.8% over the 12 weeks to June 8, much better than the falls of 1% and 1.8% at Tesco and Morrisons respectively. Under its long-serving chief executive Justin King, pictured, Sainsbury's has been one of the grocery industry's most consistent performers, although Tesco and Morrisons remain more profitable.
King described the numbers as "solid" in a "tough consumer environment" but its trading was behind Asda's 1.3% growth in its first quarter. However, Sainsbury's big three rivals have not yet posted figures that overlapped the Queen's Diamond Jubilee last year, which boosted food and drink sales for all.
Sainsbury's was lifted by the recent relaunch of its core By Sainsbury's own-label range, which delivered sales up by nearly 7% in its latest quarter. Its premium Taste the Difference range also shone with growth of more than 10% to make it a £1 billion brand.
Online grocery sales rose by 16% in Sainsbury's over the 12 weeks and are likely to smash through the £1 billion barrier in the current quarter.
Unlike Tesco, Sainsbury's is benefiting from not having a big estate of hypermarkets rammed with non-food, such as TVs and stereos, demand for which is tanking during the consumer downturn. "We never believed" in having lots of these hypermarkets, said King.

Every time someone that dosen't own a German Shepherd sees a picture of my GSD the first thing they say is: "Ears!!"...
Yes folks, she has ears, all mammals do; but I didn't think her ears are that disproportionately large that all people see when they look at her are her ears lol. So i thought id run it by you folks to see if you get the same reaction with your dog, or if I really do have a dumbo girl :( she is a purebred as well.

Her ears looks perfect to me. /shrugs..... Pretty girl!
We get the ears thing too... They all seem to have huge ears, especially when they're growing!

She has beautiful, normal German Shepherd puppy ears. :) I got the same thing from my first GSD. Everybody said things like; "His ears are too big for his head!" He grew into them eventually.
Your dog looks absolutely, perfectly normal for a GSD. The ears are the right size--this is just that "awkward teenager" stage where they look a little gangly. She will grow into them, and will (continue to) be a gorgeous GSD!
I find that most of the people who comment on the ears are simply not used to seeing GSD pups, and are a little rude. I don't walk up to pug owners and ask "Where is his nose??" ;)
nice looking gsd. look normal to me.
How old is she?
Some GSDs just have bigger ears. I never minded people making comments about Bianca's ears, I'd just reply that I guess she never grew into them. People often thought she was a puppy and I think part of it was the ears.
Or I guess you could say, "The better to hear you with my dear!" :D
People make comments like that about my pup. I just brush it off or say, "Yeah! We don't even pay for satellite anymore." They laugh and walk off.

How to have a temp driveway and plan for the future?
Right now I have a small asphalt driveway and a small rock driveway next to it. In the future I want to do pavers and make one BIG driveway. BUT for now I want something that joins both drives together.
Can I cover the asphalt with stone and add more stone to make a big temp driveway? Then when I'm ready for pavers in the future, I can put additional base (sand or something) over all the stone to make a nice foundation for the pavers.
My goal is to eliminate tearing up the asphalt.
thanks for the help
A couple things. In Jersey, if you're going to expand your driveway, you need to submit an application to the zoning department. Regardless of what the design is. It's a long story, but the short version is that New Jersey is particular in how much impervious cover sits on a property. And since every town is subject to the site development regs (and almost every town has its own ordinances), you need to let the town's zoning department know the particulars (square feet of existing imperv, planned pervious/impervious, etc). Call the zoning department and let them know what you want to do, and they'll let you know what to do. One note, sometimes the folks in the office have a zillion things going on, and when they describe steps, it sometimes comes out sounding like the super-fast rapid-fire fine print in auto dealer radio commercials. If it does, try to understand that they're probably multi-tasking, and have them repeat it slower.
As for leaving the asphalt under half of the stone driveway, and putting sand and pavers on top, I don't think that's a wise choice. It wouldn't be wise even if the whole thing started out as asphalt. Pavers require edge restraints, otherwise they'll spread out and look horrible. A properly designed paver driveway will have a bit of excavation, geo fabric (in certain cases), a proper recessed gravel base, edge restraints, sand bedding, etc. I think you're setting yourself up for disappointment if your goal is leaving the asphalt there.
just for the records - pervious conc IS pervious - pavers are not !
as ag sez, you might get away w/o tearing up the d/w in warren cty but not likely anywhere else,,, why not do it right the 1st time ?
Is the driveway sunken enough for the added height,..??

|Municipal Question Ad
CAMDEN, NJ (rushPRnews) 10/30/13 — Camden County Democratic Committee blames Republican Party for City Municipal Ballot Question, but it was the city's RESIDENTS who petitioned for the CHANGE.
This Halloween 10/31 @ 12pm – Concerned Residents of Camden N.J will address the "Ghouls & Goblins" of this year's City Municipal Question, which happen to be the Camden County Democratic Committee. Several city-wide mailings have been sent to the residents of Camden, attempting to deceive voters about the "Camden City Municipal Question". The misleading alludes President Obama" as supporting voting 'NO' on the question, then blaming Republicans for putting the question on the ballot to control Camden City. A NO Vote, leaves Camden residents politically powerless, impoverished, and ignored. A YES Vote, gives Camden residents back their voting voice.
The Camden City Municipal Question was petitioned by over 2,000 residents of Camden City to be present, on the voting ballot this November 5th, 2013. Through hard work , countless volunteers, and a large community effort - the petition was approved. However, the Camden County Democratic Committee is spreading lies through Direct Mailings, stating that the Camden City Municipal Question was initiated by the Republican Party.
After many years of failed attempts, the Camden County Democratic Committee led by party boss George Norcross III, won a close election in 2007 to change Camden voting dates from May to June. This was a calculated maneuver to create a monumental change in the City's Voting Process.

…and do you even really want it to?
When people find out about my job-social media for a worldwide online dating site-they tend to have quit a bit of questions. Can I take a look at their online dating profile? Why do guys show interest and then disappear, etc…you know, the standard stuff. One of the most recent questions I received was over the weekend, one of my closest friends called me while she did the walk of shame in the rain.
"I just had the most amazing night. The sex was out of control amazing, but more than that-It felt so different from a usual hook-up, like something was really there and we were totally connecting on a different level. Am I crazy? Seriously, am I?"
I feel like women find themselves in this situation a lot…lord knows I've been there multiple times. Can a casual hook-up turn into something more? Of course! I bet there are people reading this right now who never expected their one night stand to turn into a marriage or long term relationship. But the better question, in my opinion is, do you even really want it to? If it happens, great. But if it doesn't, you're setting yourself up to be hurt. Casual sex, casual dating, having a good time with no commitments means that the only person taking care of you, looking out for you is…drum-roll please….YOU. And that means you've got to learn to manage your expectations before your clothes come off.
It means when you walk out the door in the a.m, with sex hair and your shirt on backwards, high on your post orgasm glow and still smelling him all over you, that you don't mistake this for love.
It means that you've realized that when you sleep with someone casually, that you're running the risk of feeling a connection-real or imagined. And most likely, it will be imagined.
And it means that when you start allowing your feelings to get the best of you, that you're missing out on what the point of the whole experience was in the first place. FUN. FREEDOM. NO DRAMA. By walking out the door and immediately calling your best friend waxing poetic about feelings and connections and love, and looking for more than what is really there, you're saying that fun, freedom and no drama isn't enough for you right now.
Relax. Instead of walking out the door and wondering about the things you don't have, the questions, and letting your emotions get the best of you remember this-if it's meant to be anything more than casual sex, it will be. Instead of telling your best friend what it could be, tell her what it was.
"I just had the most amazing night. The sex was out of control amazing, he was so hot and he did things that totally blew my mind. It was probably just a one time thing, but let's just say I would love to see him again."
No drama, no feelings…just fun.

Edward Snowden's Detractors in Congress Call Him a 'Thief,' Wonder Who Helped Him
Posted on Jan 19, 2014
It's safe to say that Rep. Mike Rogers doesn't think Edward Snowden's leaks of U.S. government information were motivated by a sense of patriotism. In fact, the House Intelligence Committee chairman made statements Sunday hinting at treason and suggesting Snowden might not have acted alone.
In fact, Rogers said on Sunday's "Meet the Press," he suspects that Snowden, whom he called a "thief," might have had some help from Russia, as The Washington Post relayed later that day:
Another Republican congressman, Rep. Mike McCaul, also suggested that Snowden had been "cultivated by a foreign power," the Post reported.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A federal appeals court in Virginia has tossed out the conviction of a South Carolina man who has spent 29 years in prison, most of it on death row, in the slaying of a 75-year-old widow.
In a 2-1 ruling Tuesday, a panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond said Edward Lee Elmore's trial lawyers failed to challenge forensic evidence that could have exonerated him. The court said that failure violated Elmore's constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel.
Elmore was convicted in 1982 of the murder of Dorothy Edwards. She was stabbed 52 times at her Greenwood home.
Elmore was on death row until last year, when a judge ruled him mentally unfit to be executed and another judge sentenced him to life without parole.

I have a bunch of bikes and the chore I always hate is pulling off the cassette simply because this tool without the guide pin is a real pain to use. I am looking forward to cassette maintenance with this baby. It is a Park tool and as always well made and does the job. Do yourself a favor and buy it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Right Tool Does the Job
By Cliff
from NW Iowa
Make sure to order the proper tool! I first ordered the freewheel remover FR 1 / 2, which LOOKS like it should fit any Shimano or SRAM free hub or freewheel. NOT SO. This tool fits Shimano and SRAM free hubs - that's where each gear is removed from the hub, not a unit, which is a freewheel. This tool is to remove the lock ring, so it must be used along with a chain whip.

Point guard Jason Kidd, who signed with the New York Knicks last week, reportedly was arrested early Sunday for suspicion of driving while intoxicated in the Southampton, N.Y.
The arrest, first reported by Patch.com of South Hampton, was confirmed by the Southampton Town police in conjunction with a single-car accident involving Kidd.
The authorities said Kidd, 39, was taken to the Southampton Town Justice Court and arraigned on a misdemeanor DWI charge. He released on his own recognizance.
According to police, a 2010 Cadillac Escalade driven by Kidd hit a telephone pole and then drove into a forested area in Water Mill, N.Y., close to Kidd's home in the Hamptons.
Kidd, who police said was the only person in the vehicle, was transported to the Southampton Hospital to receive treatment for minor injuries before he was arraigned.
"We await further discovery from the district attorney's office," Sag Harbor attorney Eddie Burke Jr. said in a statement..
Kidd, 39, signed a three-year, $9.5 million contract on Thursday to play for the Knicks. He has been named to the All-Star team 10 times in his career.

I would recommend sitting down with a landlord-tenant attorney for a consult. More information is needed before determining a course of action. For example, if you have completed the steps to term them lodgers instead of tenants, the eviction process is not needed. If they are tenants and not lodgers, you will need to serve them with proper notice and a subsequent unlawful detainer lawsuit. Good luck with your case.

Mosaic by Gayle Lynds
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Julia Austrian suddenly lost her sight after her first big concert as a concert pianist. Coming from a somewhat privelidged world where they always have had money her mother and she travel worldwide and she plays and enjoys her life. This all changes when her mother is murdered, seemingly for her jewels, in London, just as Julia gains her sight back. The trauma causes her sight to go away again but the event cascades into a mess of politics, while her uncle competes for the title of President of the United States of America and his dealings are none too above-board.
A roller-coaster ride of a book, I found it entertaining but occasionally a little jumpy, would make a great film.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 067102406X, Mass Market Paperback)
Praised by writers from Clive Cussler to Sue Grafton, Gayle Lynds has emerged as a leading star of suspense fiction. Her bestselling debut novel Masquerade was hailed as "gloriously paranoid, immensely satisfying" (The Los Angeles Times). Now Lynds brings the international thriller to an electrifying new level with this bullet-fast tale.
While giving a gala performance at London's Royal Albert Hall, blind concert-pianist Julia Austrian's sight returns as mysteriously as it disappeared ten years earlier when she was struck by a rare psychological disorder. But her euphoria shatters when she witnesses her mother's murder -- a trauma that hurls her back into her dark and lonely world.
Blind, yet the only person who can identify the killer, Julia abandons her celebrated life, regains her sight through hypnosis, and joins maverick CIA analyst Sam Keeline to piece together a series of seemingly random acts that form a vast and terrifying puzzle that threatens America's political system.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:22:36 -0400)
Concert pianist Julia Austrian teams up with former CIA agent Sam Keeline to hunt for the masked gunwoman who shot her mother. The case involves crooked U.S. politicians and fortunes made from stolen Nazi war loot.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday November 5th, 2013 1:43am
John Grant Jr. had been hoping to team back up with Casey Powell for the past few seasons. He recently got what he'd hoped for, and now Grant has his fourth Steinfeld Cup, and Powell his third.
"I was all over (Powell) all winter long to get him on this team," Grant said after the Bayhawks downed the Charlotte Hounds, 10-9, to win the franchise's second consecutive Major League Lacrosse championship in front of an announced 3,7962 at PPL Park on Sunday afternoon.
Grant and Powell found themselves on the same National Lacrosse League roster this past winter after Powell was traded to the Colorado Mammoth from the Rochester Knighthawks. Grant, who along with Powell helped the Rochester Rattlers win the Major League Lacrosse championship in 2008, had ample opportunity to sell the Carthage, N.Y. native and former Syracuse All-American on the Bayhawks as they spent the last half of the NLL season out in Denver.
"I told him it's the best organization in the MLL," Grant said, adding that he considers Powell one of the greatest players in the world. "I think once he got here and realized I wasn't kidding around, he embraced it and, like I said, I'm glad to have him."
Without question two of the game's greatest players and now considered two of the sport's most accomplished but still-active elder statesmen, Grant and Powell joined forces this summer after Powell — picked up by Chesapeake in the supplemental draft — was finally activated prior to the Bayhawks' July 18 matchup with the Boston Cannons.
Powell, who had announced his retirement from MLL last summer, came out of the woodwork to put up three goals and an assist, including the game-tying tally with five seconds left in regulation, which led to the Bayhawks winning 13-12 in overtime and helped the team inch closer to a playoff berth.
The dual threat of Grant and Powell was instrumental this weekend in helping lead Chesapeake to the franchise's fifth Steinfeld Cup win, the most of any team when including the 2002 and 2005 championship the Bayhawks won while based in Baltimore.
In the closely-contested semifinal matchup against the Hamilton Nationals on Saturday afternoon, Powell — running through the box as a midfielder — fed Mike Kimmel on what became the game-winning goal with 1:25 left in the fourth quarter.
While Powell put up a goal and an assist in the win over Hamilton, Grant chipped two goals and an assist. A longtime member of the Peterborough Lakers of Major Series Lacrosse, Grant had been knocked out of the hunt for another Mann Cup last week, describing the loss as "destructive." But he said it gave him more motivation to fight for another MLL championship.
He turned in a fantastic effort in Sunday's final, netting four goals and earning Championship Weekend MVP honors. His output included a clutch finish with one second remaining in the first half to put Chesapeake up 5-2. His last goal was a spectacular behind-the-back shot that bounced off Hounds goalie Adam Ghitelman and into the net.
Powell, run through the box as a midfielder, finished the day with a goal and two assists, including a highlight-reel behind-the-back feed to Ben Rubeor in the first quarter.
No member of the Bayhawks failed to mention the importance of Grant's and Powell's contributions on the championship run.
But as Bayhawks coaches and players alike said along the way, the two veterans provided much more than just a pair of deadly, go-to threats on the field. The tandem, even with Powell's only recent addition to the roster, were clearly leaders on the 2013 MLL champions' roster.
"Those guys you don't have to coach," Chesapeake coach Dave Cottle said. "You just have to put them into spots to be successful. (Grant) is a great player and we're fortunate to have him and Casey. … The old guys led the young guys, and more importantly, the young guys followed."
Rubeor added that having players like Grant and Powell on the roster instills a sense of direction and a winning culture in the team.
"I think you can't help but shut your mouth and open your ears when a guy like Casey Powell or John Grant Jr. or Brian Spallina or Nicky Polanco open their mouths," Rubeor said. "They've been in the league, their staples of this league, they've won championship and they've led teams. They've earned the right to have other guys listen to them."
Just like Grant's plan to bring Powell on board worked, so did the overall scheme of the Bayhawks coaching staff, which was to assemble a mix of youthful and veteran talent and encourage the older players to teach and help the younger players rise to the top.
Powell said he tried to find his role before asserting himself too strongly. He said he enjoyed simply looking for a way to make contributions to an already-potent team and getting to know the roster members along the way.
"I like to try to fit in where I can on and off the field," Powell said. "But that's one of the best parts of playing lacrosse, is the commoradarie, being around the team, being in the locker room. You have to succeed at that first before you can succeed on the field. I try to get to know the guys as much as possible. We all come from different backgrounds, but we have a similar mission. We represent the greatest sport in the world. Lacrosse kind of molds us into good people. So it's a lot of fun to be a part of. It's one of the reasons I came back. The other was to win a championship."

printing 2D graphics with a known scale
I have some 2D graph where the x-axis goes from -30 mm to 30 mm and the y
axis goes from -40 mm to +20 mm.
Is there a way to print this graph so that 60 mm (or 120 mm for a 2: 1
scale) on my printed page corresponds exactly to 60 mm on my x- and y-axes
of the graph.
I tried to use gr = Show[Graphics[..mygraphics..], PlotRange -> {{-30, 30},
{-30, 30}}, ImageSize -> 72*60/25.4] and then selected the resulting
graphics and then printed it.
I also tried exporting the graphics to PDF via
Export["c:\\temp\\mygraph.pdf", gr, ImageSize -> 72*60/25.4] and then
printed the resulting PDF file with Adobe Acrobat.
(The factor 72 come from the Mathematica help for ImageSize: "ImageSize->72
xi specifies that the image should have a width of xi inches"; the factor
1/25.4 converts mm to inches).
Both methods did not produce what I wanted.
Has anyone any better solutions?

SLIDESHOW: Adams celebrates new rain garden
The water coursing through Adams Elementary School's new rain garden may have been hose-supplied, but that didn't damped enthusiasm during the debut of the new runoff control system April 30.
The rain garden for the school at 6110 28th Ave. N.W. will help mitigate storm water and combines education and environmentalism, said David Minnery, who developed the conceptual design for the rain garden as a graduate student in landscape architecture.
The Adams rain garden takes rainwater from the school's two roofs and directs it into a cistern. From the cistern, the water travels down a concrete channel before being released into a garden that will absorb the water and remove pollutants.
As rain was conspicuously absent, water was fed into the cistern through a hose for the official debut of the rain garden. As the water coursed down the channel, Adams students crowded together to splash in the water and watch as it cascaded into the garden.
Minnery said it felt nice to see the students react when the water was turned on, as he always intended the rain garden to be interactive and a space for play.
"It's just amazing to see all those little hands interacting with it," he said.
Before the powering up of the rain garden, students read poetry ("I think the Adams rain garden is cool. The plans around it use it as a tool") and impressions ("It keeps water clean and reduces pollution in Puget Sound") about the rain garden.
Principal Anne Johnson used it as an opportunity to teach the students about pursuing their vision and ideas.
"This whole idea came from Mr. Minnery's brain," she said. "You never know when one of your ideas might turn into something real like Mr. Minnery's idea."
Johnson said the rain garden is a symbol of how Adams can work together as a school and community.
Minnery is the spouse of an Adams teacher. Guy Michaelsen, the landscape architect behind the final construction, is an Adams parent. Another Adams parent, Alison Krupnick, served as project manager. Adams students also gave input into the design.
The rain garden, which also includes a sitting area for outdoor classes, was funded through a King County Waterworks grant and matching funds from the Adams PTA.

The vote tally on the Start treaty is now posted. Twelve count 'em 12 Republicans voted for it, and in the spirit of the season, let's give them propers: Lamar Alexander, Tennessee; Robert Bennett, Utah; Scott Brown, Massachusetts; Thad Cochran, Mississippi; Susan Collins, Maine; Bob Corker, Tennessee; Johnny Isakson, Georgia; Mike Johanns, Nebraska (interesting, the only one surprising to me; helps give Ben Nelson cover in 2012, no?); Dick Lugar, Indiana; Lisa Murkowski, Alaska; Olympia Snowe, Maine; George Voinovich, Ohio. Kind of amazing. All Democrats voted for. Even Ron Wyden made it back from prostate surgery.
Missing from the list? A certain McCain fellow. He really has now just degenerated completely into being a hack. Who can possibly take the man seriously anymore? You just know he's lying through his teeth when he ladles that praise on Sarah Palin. And as for Start, it's exactly the kind of thing he used to be in the Senate to help put his stamp on.
In truth, McCain has always had a reputation for standing on the sidelines, throwing stink bombs, then sweeping in at the end to gobble up credit. Except on campaign finance and a couple other things on which he genuinely did do the work. But now he's just a complete joke. I can understand if you're a conservative you'd have preferred him as president. But for the rest of us...God forbid.
Meanwhile, this session of Congress...geez. Obama could lose an election tomorrow and still be one of the most active and successful presidents of the modern era. Things are going to get pretty tough again next March, when he and the Republicans start fighting over the budget, but for now, enough complaining, liberals!

Hey Virchanza,
first thing i would recommend you change the tite , it isn't very descriptive.
To your question , doesn't sed perform a part of your project?
I think it's possible to combine it with other commands (direct or by script).
And at all , don't you think it would be faster to do it by hand than writing a program for it?

Don't get in your own way: staying goal-oriented through depression
Please note: while I do suffer bouts of depression, my milady is mild enough that most of my life I have confused it with ennui, apathy, or laziness. I do not take medication (although I consider it sometimes). If you're reading this and are suffering moderate or serious depression, please speak with a professional to assess whether medication may be right for you. True medical depression is not something you can just "snap out of" no matter what your mother says.
My New Year's Resolution, strictly speaking, was to keep a daily diary. The diary was to keep me on track towards my plethora of resolutions, listed in a Word Doc I called "28 Days Later", so named because my vow was to try to make several changes for one month… and then either abandon or modify what wasn't working and consciously decide to re-commit to my goals for another month.
But as time went on, I didn't need the paper diary anymore- what I needed was simply to check in with myself once every other week or so- and so I ended up using my 28 Days Later file for that. I write about my successes and failures, and I analyze my current mindset to gauge whether my feelings are related to my progress or not. This second part is particularly important for me as I have discovered I am often moderately depressed in the midst of success. I just don't give myself credit for my accomplishments, and that is something for me to work on.
It turns out that being aware of the incongruity between my mood and my achievements is key to staying on track and not falling into a writer's block or other self-destructive behaviors.
My depression is pretty mild, and that is what makes it insidious. Usually I don't even know I'm in a funk until I realize I've been wearing the same pajama pants for three days straight. Regular self-reflection has kept me from falling into this trap.
How am I doing on my 28 Days Later goals? Well, I wanted to lose 90 pounds, and so far I have lost 60. I wanted to have 3 stories in the mail at all times, and right now I have 2. Smaller goals, such as eating at least one vegetable every day, going to bed at 10 pm, getting dressed every morning (don't laugh, that's seriously important for your mental health if you work from home), and other such things have become automatic. So am I "there" yet? Hell no. Am I slowly transforming into the person I want to be? Hell yes.
So, here's the takeaway: if you've got personal goals you want to achieve but are having a hard time staying on track, list out your goals in writing. Revisit them daily. Write about your progress, your setbacks, and your feelings, and note when your feelings don't jibe with your progress. Forgive yourself for failure, because there will be failure on any path to success, and recommit to your goals. Recognize your own achievements. Modify the goals that aren't working for you, and set new goals to keep moving forward.

Ratings for Dr. Alok Bansal
I had gone in for an eye exam and the equipment that they used on me after they dilated my eyes, my eyes became red and were burning. I called the office the next day if I could come back for them to see my eyes, and the front desk person said that I can't come back and that I would have to go to another doctor. I explained my concern that the equipment they used was not properly cleaned and that could be the reason my eyes were burning. I think its very unprofessional for them to refer me to another doctor without actually seeing me first to make sure that the burning was not caused by their equipment or something else. I also feel that when I made the appointment they were more interested in seeing more patients then taking the time to figure out what problems I had during my visit. I will not go back to this facility again and also will not be recommending it to anyone.
I arrived a good 30 min before my appt and instead of telling me he was running late, his team decided to tell me it was because of paperwork. The woman realized I completed the paperwork 20 before my appointment and finally admitted dr alok was LATE!!!
My fiancé saw Dr. Bansal for a retinal detachment. He's very patient and easy to talk too. He explains everything and really knows his way around an eyeball. He's a great doctor with great people skills. We highly recommend him.

I was the Diary Pick of the Day!!! I am very glad that I won an award. Mom told me that I was like a celebrity. It's pretty darn cool if you ask me. Mom told me how proud she was of me. Bella is jealous of me, I know it.
Anywho. Mom was unexpectedly gone last night. I hated it. I was very sad. I was so sad that I pooped on the floor three times. I think mom got the point. Maybe next time her and Dad will know not to leave us alone overnight again.
Life's been boring today besides becoming famous. I cuddled with mom, tormented the cat (he got me a couple of times but I'm strong,) got chased and punched by Bella, and barked at the neighbors and when Grandpa's friend came over. In between paragraphs and chew on Bella's huge bone and nibble some food while Bella looks at me like she's going to eat me.
Well pups, I am going to go cuddle with Mommy for a little bit. Thank you for the Congrats for everybody.
Wags and Kisses
Yesterday I got into trouble. But it wasn't really my fault. I swear! Grandpa left his chicken bones on the coffee table. I'm sure that you can see where this is going. Mom let us out of our room to go and switch the laundry around. She didn't see the bones on the coffee table. Do you see where this is going yet?
Yes, Bella and I ate some of the chicken bones. Mom came upstairs and saw me chewing on them. She yelled at me of course telling me to drop them. But even then, we were in trouble. We ate some chicken bones. Mom was FURIOUS. At Grandpa for leaving them in a place that they easily could've been devoured. At herself for not paying attention. At us for the obvious. She's been keeping a close eye on us, but I just know that our tummies are going to be okay. How can something so delicious be bad for you?
And then there was the back gate. The wind blew open the back gate somehow and I decided that I wanted to check out the front yard and the street. I spend all of my time in the back yard except when I go for rides in the car and go for our nightly walks. Of course I took the opportunity to explore. Mom knows that I wouldn't leave because I am devoted to her and Dad, but she still wants me to be safe. When she came home from running errands she saw that the gate was open and was furious again at me. At Grandpa. At whoever left the gate open. Whatever happened.
Maybe I wouldn't say furious. I guess I would say scared. Because not only did I escape, Bella could have too. And Bella is a lot more stubborn then I am and doesn't always come when she's called. I can't say I blame Mommy. We scared her so much yesterday.
I guess she forgave us because when she got home she brought us out of the room to go potty and there was this cold white stuff on the ground. I guess it's called snow, I've never seen it before until last night. Anyways, Mommy, Daddy, Bella, and I played in the snow for so long we were all shivering and soaking wet. It was a blast. I should really try and be a good girl, maybe Mommy will bring us more snow then.
Wags and Kisses,
This was my first Christmas with my new Mommy and Daddy, and can I just say it was PAWsome! I got a new leash (and although I hate the thing, it's the thought that counts, right?!) I also got a new collar and my very own pendant thing which my pawrents call an ID tag. Santa also brought me a big bone like he does for Dopey (AKA Bella)every year. It wasn't quite as big Bella's so I don't like it. Mom is talking about giving it to Grandma's dog, Chloe, a Long Haired Chihuahua.
I have never been a part of anything like this. This was my first Christmas. I am so glad that my new family brought me into their hearts. Yes, even Bella I suppose. And Mommy and Daddy tell me all the time how much I mean to them. This is the life.
Oh! I cannot believe I almost forgot! Mom and Dad also picked up a new creature for the house today. This thing called "pa-ro-keit" Or something like that. I don't know what I feel about this thing... I'll let you know how things go. Until then...
Wags and Kisses,

After the unsettling exploits in the Auvergne the vicar and his companions try to resume a life of moderate respectability. But the recent events cast a long shadow and they are soon in the grip of sinister repercussions. Who is the menacing blackmailer stalking the previous blackmailer and the bishop? Can the bishop survive the threat of being 'outed'? Why is there a body in the polyanthus bed and can Lavinia Birtle-Figgins really be as dippy as she seems? These and other imponderables immerse the Reverend Francis Oughterard in a fresh web of danger and subterfuge while his animal 'minders', Maurice and Bouncer, try their best to make sense of all this human bedlam.… (more)
