Okay, let's get into some more nuts and bolts. You're here to learn, aren't you? Or are you here for my stunningly handsome persona? What's that? you say it's just to learn something? Well, fine, then:
How to Plant & Plan for a Mixed Carpet
So you've got your layout and you've decided on what plants you want to use, and you know basically what you want to achieve (because you've done some visualization right? if you still haven't, refer back to the end of the first post).
For this Mini M, I had a laundry list prepared, but only ended up using the following plants:
Riccia Fluitans
Hemianthus Callicthroides
Willow Moss
Eleocharis Acicularis
Mini Microsword
Echinodorus Tennellus
Before you begin to plant, you're going to have to decide on where and how to plant things. In other words you need a basic plan as to how you want the aquarium to look and grow out.
In order for you to successfully pull this off you need to have a knowledge of what pattern the plants grow in, how fast they grow and where to place them.
If you don't have much experience with growing the individual species you use, I highly recommend you practice on growing individual carpets of plants.
Because it is difficult to truly pull off a mixed carpet (due to the trimming methods and growth patterns) I highly recommend you focus on just growing a single carpet plant at a time before you dive into a full-fledged mixed carpet that involves multiple plants you've never worked with before, then start combining carpet plants you've worked with in the past to create a synthesis of the types.
Anyway, so first let's subdivide our plants to work with into categories, for this layout I divided them as such:
Background Primary: E. Acicularis, Mini Microsword (touch)
Foreground & right side: HC, Riccia
Midground, focal point left: Willow Moss (primary), E. Tenellus (touch)
Preparing the Plants
The easiest part of setting up the layout is the actual planting, the hardest part is the preparation. Once the plants are prepped, it takes the little time to actually finish the planting (comparatively).
I start with the most PITA plants first: in this case, tying Riccia to stones (because it floats otherwise), and Willow Moss to porous stones (for attachment).
Plant #1: Pre-prep and Riccia
Healthy Riccia, if your riccia looks any different (unless in emmersed form), don't use it. Riccia spoils easy, so only use green riccia, and remove all brown or decaying riccia, otherwise your plants will suffer later (follow through with this for every plant).
Tools: Riccia Line, Trimming Scissors, Riccia Stones (flat stones)
Before you start, use a spray bottle to wet the stones, this makes it easier for Riccia to "stick" to the stones, consequently making it easier for you to tie the Riccia to the stone.
Riccia never attaches to stone, so it's important to use wire / line that will never disattach. When you are tying the line to the stone, make horizontal patterns across, then corresponding vertical patterns (creating a checkerboard of string tying it to the stone), and knot at the bottom of the stone. Use a thin layer of Riccia on the stone for best growth and do your best to get riccia to cover all four corners.
I couldn't get any pictures of tying the stones, as it takes both hands to do the tying and couldn't use the phone camera. But here's what the finished product should look like:
Next up: Willow Moss. Moss will eventually attach itself to surfaces, so for tying moss, use a type of cotton (Moss Cotton), which will dissolve over time.
Tools: Porous Stones, Trimming Scissors, Moss Cotton
Healthy Willow Moss (again,don't use any browned out plant matter) :
You'll just quickly tie together as much moss as you can. Moss grows slowly, so for a carpet of any means, to out compete riccia and hc, etc. Start out with much more than you think you need.
Wrap firmly around the stone, and tie your knot underneath the stone like the riccia stone.
Next: Hemianthus Callicthroides
Divide the pots HC come into like so:
Make sure you use pincettes to remove any excess cotton wool from the plant roots.
Make sure to wash the plants in water (even moss and riccia) before planting and tying, this removes dirt, debris and dead leaves from the plants, look at the cup of water and see the built up dirt!
Divide HC evenly into clumps:
Repeat this pattern for Hair Grass (Eleocharis Acicularis), Microsword and E. Tenellus.
Now, Planting the Tank:
Tools: Fine-tipped Pincettes
Before you begin planting, mist down the soil with a spray bottle for ease, and raise the water level to even with the lower substrate line (this makes it much easier for you to plant.
First things first, lay down Riccia stones. Position them around main stones and in areas where you want the most growth. Here I'm emphasizing the back right and front and right corners most, so that's where the Riccia goes.
Next, lay down the Moss Stones, these are situated for me at the left for the primary focal point, behind the secondary stones.
You should lay these plants down first because they will act as a guideline for the rest of the plants for proper mixing.
After the moss and the Riccia, I went ahead and planted the hair grass evenly spaced in the back. For hair grass like this, you only need to plant a little bit, because of how fast it grows.
The Final planting step is to plant HC between all the riccia stones, and across the main panel as it's the primary carpet plant to grow between riccia.
Adding a touch of Tennellus between the moss stones will ensure they grow together with a pleasant contrast, and planting the microsword behind the main stone and as a touch around the right focal point and the left adds an extra layer of texture to the layout.
Finished Planting:

Neville Layt admits that taking his ''babies'' to the track for their first race feels like dropping your kids off at school for the first time.
The Queanbeyan trainer has Strada Time and Divine Archer running in the two-year-old handicap (1000 metres) at Warwick Farm on Saturday.
Layt is not sure whether they are up to city class, but the lack of country races for two-year-olds means he has no choice but to head up the Hume Highway.
It's something ''Nifty'' thinks Racing NSW needs to look at, with the first two-year-old race at Canberra not until November 30.
''I've said it all along to [Racing NSW] … when you've got early two-year-olds like I do, you like to run them and put them back in the paddock,'' Layt said.
''I've already had little Flying Charger, he's raced, and Flying Mamuza, and these are the next two, but I've got another five babies I've got to get ready.''
Strada Time finished second and Divine Archer fourth in a trial at Canberra's Thoroughbred Park two weeks ago.
But Layt admitted that, at such a young age, it is hard to know how they would react on race day.
''With babies you don't know what you've got until you try them,'' he said. ''An older horse you can see them go around, whereas a baby you buy them raw and you bring them through and you just hope you've got another Karuta Queen among them.
''They're two very nice horses … [but] you go on a barrier trial and then on race day [they] can be completely different.''
Layt said Red Excitement had pulled up well from his third to Al Dragon in the benchmark 69 handicap (1900 metres) at Rosehill last Tuesday.
His next race will be the benchmark 80 handicap (1500 metres) for three-year-olds at Rosehill in two weeks.
Meanwhile, Nick Olive's Nat King Cu makes his highly anticipated Sydney debut in a benchmark 80 handicap (1600 metres) at Warwick Farm on Saturday.
The King Cugat four-year-old has won his last four starts at Thoroughbred Park and Olive has admitted to being excited about the gelding's future. Nat King Cu was an $11 chance with ACTTAB on Friday, with the Peter Moody-trained Soros the $2.10 favourite.

- - Chew-a-Bulls (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-puppy-stuff/431217-chew-bulls.html)
I was wondering if anyone has tried the Chew-a-Bulls that redbarn makes?
When I was out looking for Bully sticks I keep see these and I want to make sure they are ok for our puppy.
I used them, once, with a puppy. She was able to eat it within ten minutes and it upset her stomach. I'd go with a regular bully stick unless your dog just isn't much of a chewer.
I tried those once, but the smell was horrific and seemed to permeate the house for days. I'm never getting another one. My dog gets bully sticks of other brands (mostly True Chews) regularly, but those ones were just overwhelming.

Two opposing forces of the French farm industry clashed over the weekend as small farmers led by Jose Bove launched attacks on crops found on large farms where GM genetically modified crops are being grown. Police had to use tear gas to break up the growing conflicts as two opposing views on farming interact. Small farmers are more organically minded while the large French farm federation, FNSEA prefers a more scientific oriented approach to farming and relies on GM seeds.
Throughout French history, farmers have played a key role in the nation's history and they continue being influential into the new century. As the size of the French farm population decreases, groups led by men like Jose Bove may well represent the past rather than the future.

Boeing alters retirement plan for new employees
Changes will apply only to nonunion hires
Updated 10:00 pm, Tuesday, June 24, 2008
The Boeing Co. said it's changing its retirement program for new, nonunion workers, replacing its traditional pension plan with one that's similar to a 401(k) plan.
The new program, to be introduced Jan. 1, includes an automatic company contribution as well as a match for funds put in by employees, Chicago-based Boeing said Tuesday in a prepared statement. The change won't affect the more than 525,000 current or former employees or retirees who participate in the company's existing savings and pension plans, Boeing said.
"There's not a substantial financial impact for Boeing in the near term," spokesman Todd Blecher said. The move "will help us primarily attract and retain employees because the data we have show that workers are more motivated or swayed by a benefits plan that's portable versus a pension plan that's not."
Boeing aims to put newly hired union machinists in a 401(k)-style plan as well to ease a pension liability it estimates at $46 billion. It's one of the proposals under discussion in negotiations that began May 9 for a new contract to start Sept. 4. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, representing 26,000 Boeing workers, is against the idea because it doesn't want different benefits for different groups of employees.
Latest business videos
"You have to wonder, why would they put this out as we're going into negotiations," said Tom Wreblowski, president of the IAM's Seattle-based District 751. Machinists went on strike in 2005 in part to protest proposed changes to benefits for newly hired workers, he said.

Do Tacoma visitors, business customers or others have problems finding downtown parking garages?
The City's Parking System staff wants users to share ideas at a workshop on branding and signing. On Thursday, Feb. 27, the public is invited to explore solutions that could better identify off-street parking locations, such as signs and marking, mapping or other ideas. Attendees will also discuss the garages themselves and how markings, signage and branding can improve the downtown parking experience. The stakeholder discussion takes place at 5 p.m. at the Wells Fargo Plaza (Fountain Court), 1201 Pacific Ave., suite C-5.
The discussion will help craft further public involvement opportunities later this year as City staff plan for a 2015 effort to make its parking garages more accessible to downtown visitors.

TORONTO -- With October drawing near, CC Sabathia is struggling.
Sabathia failed to hold a fifth-inning lead and Jose Molina's single in the ninth lifted the Toronto Blue Jays over the Yankees 5-4 Friday night that kept Mariano Rivera on hold at 600 saves.
"They made him work tonight," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I didn't think his command was as good as it has been. He had some really good innings and then he had some innings where he struggled."
New York lost its second straight game on the last at-bat since Rivera got his 600th save Tuesday at Seattle, moving within one of Trevor Hoffman's career record.
The Yankees, whose AL East lead over second-place Boston was cut to 3½ games, lost for the sixth time in nine games and dropped to 3-5 on a 10-game trip that concludes with weekend games at Toronto. New York then returns to Yankee Stadium for a homestand that originally was five games but has swelled to eight because of rainouts.
|More on Yankees at Blue Jays
Sabathia won seven straight starts and nine of 10 from June 14 to Aug. 1. He's 3-3 with a 4.56 ERA in eight starts since.
"My arm feels good, my body feels good," Sabathia said. "It's just been not executing pitches when I need to."
This is just the second time this season the Sabathia has gone two starts without a win. He also did it Aug. 6 and 12.
"Command has been a big issue, but my stuff has been there," he said. "That's what's so frustrating."
Sabathia failed to earn his 20th win for the second straight start. The Yankees ace needed 120 pitches to get through 5 2/3 innings and matched season-highs by allowing 10 hits and walking four.
"I still think CC is going to run off some good starts, I really do," Girardi said. "He just hasn't been quite as sharp. He went late into a lot of games for us. His innings have piled up."
Ahead 3-1, Sabathia allowed a three-run double to Adam Lind in the fifth. Nick Swisher's RBI single tied it in the sixth, but Lind doubled off Boone Logan (5-3) leading off the ninth. Molina, who played for the Yankees from 2007-09, singled with one out off Cory Wade.
"I thought when we got the 3-1 lead we were going to win that game," Girardi said. "Jose got a pitch up in the zone and didn't miss it."
Lind came in batting .178 (13 for 73) in his past 18 games, but left feeling good about his big double off Sabathia.
"You couldn't do it against a better team or a better pitcher," Lind said.
Casey Janssen (5-0) pitched two scoreless innings as Toronto won for the fourth time in five games.
"We didn't miss pitches when they were on the plate," Blue Jays manager John Farrell said.
Jose Bautista, 0 for 19 against Sabathia coming in, singled in the first to put runners at the corners, and Edwin Encarnacion hit into a run-scoring forceout.
Swisher's RBI double and Eric Chavez's second homer of the season, a two-run drive, put the Yankees ahead 3-1 in the third against Dustin McGowan.
McGowan started in place of Brett Cecil, scratched because of a cut left index finger sustained while cleaning a blender Wednesday. McGowan allowed three runs and three hits in a season-high five innings.
"Tonight was the sharpest of the three outings he's had," Farrell said.
- Yankees 3B Alex Rodriguez (left thumb) missed his sixth straight game but was expected to return to the lineup Saturday.
- Toronto has won six straight one-run games.
- Cecil is to start Tuesday against the Los Angeles Angels.
- Sabathia made his 100th regular-season appearance with New York.
- Yankees manager Joe Girardi said C Francisco Cervelli is still bothered by concussion-like symptoms stemming from a Sept. 8 collision with Baltimore's Nick Markakis. Cervelli, who is not traveling with the team, saw a neurologist Friday and will undergo more tests next week.
- Toronto OF Colby Rasmus returned to the lineup for the first time since injuring his right wrist on Aug. 23.
- Blue Jays SS Yunel Escobar (bruised left elbow) missed his fourth straight game.
- The retractable roof at Rogers Centre was open during batting practice but began to close during the first inning.

I got that sword from the local flea market. Mine is just a normal metal-ish color, not the red or blue one. Definitely gotta do something about that pitiful yellow plastic piece on mine. It stands out like a sore thumb. c.c
It appears that someone is selling one of these on amazon I bought it off ebay. The sword is pretty well made, my only complaints is that the sheath is utter and total garbage as far as the pattern on it. Also the handle is pleather but its better done than the sheath. The blade is also slightly lopsided where it goes from thin to thick. Other than that its a very nice piece and would improve alot with some details added to it by painting. It had a "Made In Pakastan" written on the blade but that scraped off really easily. I would definatly recomend the sword but I would seriously recomend you either replace the pleather on the sheath or repaint it.
is this the amazon.com sword? I am totally thinking about buying it, would you recomend it?
very nice.
I have the same sword (only I re-painted mine)

Hey guys!
First post here. There are so many forums out there and don't even know where to begin. I got something exciting today and I immediate thought I wanted to share here as the community here seems very nice and friendly.
I woke up and stumbled around downstairs and saw a US postal package and an envelope on the living room table. I rushed over to check out what it was and guess what... In the package was a Comp-Tac Minotaur holster, and in the envelope was my Virginia's CHP!
I've couldn't have been happier! I applied for the CHP on 9/9/09 and got 29 days later. I ordered the holster a 5 days ago, and got an email informing me that it would take 7 days to construct and yet another few days to ship.
Needless to say, I got both much earlier than expected! And what a blessing, getting both on the same day! :) Comp-Tac even had a little handwritten note in there which makes me a happy customer!

Wireless Networking
Do you know what wireless computer networking really is? If not, follow along with me through this tip as I talk a little about wireless networking. You may learn something new, you never know!
Wireless networks utilize radio waves and/or microwaves to maintain communication channels between computers. Wireless networking is a more modern alternative to wired networking that relies on copper and/or fiber optic cabling between network devices.
Standards and Hardware
These days, it's common for a home to have multiple personal computers and it just makes sense for them to share one Internet connection. Wired networking is an option, but it is one that may require the installation and management of a great deal of wiring in order to get even a modestly sized home set up. With wireless networking equipment becoming extremely affordable and easy to install, it may be worth considering by those looking to build a home network, as well as, by those looking to expand on an existing wired network.
We will first take a look at the various networking standards and the hardware involved in wireless networking.
Wireless Standards
The basic standard that covers wireless networking is the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11. This just so happens to be close kin to the wired Ethernet standard, 802.3. Many people will recognize 802.11 more readily when accompanied by one of three suffixes (a, b or g), which are used to specify the exact protocol of wireless networking.
The 802.11a is the least common of the three at this time. The signals for "a" are transmitted on a 5 GHz radio frequency, while "b" and "g" travel on 2.4 GHz. The higher frequency means that the signal can travel less distance in free space and has a harder time penetrating walls, thus making the practical application of an 802.11a network a bit limited. The maximum transfer rate, however, is roughly 54 Mbps, so it makes up for its limited range with respectable speed.
As mentioned, 802.11b and 802.11g networks operate on a 2.4 GHz radio band, which gives a much greater range as compared to 802.11a. One downside to being on the 2.4 GHz band is that many devices share it and interference is bound to be an issue. Cordless phones and Bluetooth devices are two of the many items that operate at this frequency. The range of these two protocols is about 300 feet in free air and the difference between the two comes down to speed. 802.11b came first and offers speeds up to 11 Mbps. 802.11g first appeared in 2002 and it is a backwards compatible improvement over 802.11b and offers speeds up to 54 Mbps.
On top of these protocols, some manufacturers have improved upon the 802.11g standard and can provide speeds of up to 108 Mbps. This doesn't involve a separate protocol, but just a bit of tweaking in areas, like better data compression, more efficient data packet bursting and by using two radio channels simultaneously.
Typically, stock 802.11g equipment is not capable of these speeds and those interested need to shop for matched components that specify 108 Mbps support. I say "matched components," as this is not a standard protocol and the various manufacturers may take different approaches to achieving these speeds. In order to ensure the best results when trying to reach these elevated speeds, components from the same manufacturer should be used together. For instance, only Netgear brand network adaptors rated for 108 Mbps data transfer should be used with something like the Netgear WG624 wireless router.
Considering your typical broadband Internet connection is going to offer data transfer rates of 10 Mbps or less, it can be seen that even 802.11b would be more than adequate if you just want to surf the Web. Sharing files on your LAN (Local Area Network) is where the faster protocols will really make a difference. Also, comparing the prices of 802.11b and 802.11g components may show that there is little to no difference in selecting a "g" capable device over a comparable "b" capable device.
Access Point – Wireless Access Point (WAP) is the central device that manages the transmission of wireless signals on a network. A base access point may be capable of handling up to 10 connections and more robust APs may be able to manage up to 255 connections simultaneously. The D-Link DWL-1000AP+ is an example of a wireless access point capable of 802.11b transmissions.
Router – In somewhat technical terms, a router is a network device that forwards data packets. It is generally the connection between at least two networks, such as two LANs or a LAN and an ISP's (Internet Service Provider's) network. For our purposes, and for the sake of simplicity, a wireless router is basically an access point with the added feature of having a port for sharing a broadband Internet connection. The D-Link AirPlus G is an 802.11g capable router that provides access for numerous wireless connections and four hard-wired connections to one WAN (Wide Area Network Internet) connection.
A typical router for home use will generally cost less than an access point and via settings within the firmware, can be used as just an access point anyway. Wired or wireless, all the computers using the router can share files over the network, as well as, share a broadband Internet connection. Communication between wireless computers (or a wireless computer and a wired computer) will max out at 54 Mbps, while communication between wired computers will take full advantage of the 100 Mbps provided via the 802.3 protocol.
Network Adaptor – A network adaptor is required for every computer that you would like to be connected to the wireless network. Many laptops, such as a Sony Centrino 1.5 GHz now include a wireless adaptor built in, so no extra hardware is needed. For those with systems that don't have wireless capabilities built in, adding them is fairly simple and can be done using a variety of connections. Desktop computers can go wireless by adding a PCI slot network adaptor, such as the 802.11g capable D-Link DWL-G510. Notebook users can easily add wireless connectivity by using a PCMCIA adaptor, such as this 802.11g capable device. And for truly convenient plug and play connectivity to wireless networks, USB adaptors, such as this 802.11g capable dongle, are available.
Antenna/Extender – These items are not essential, but given the specifics of a wireless environment, they may be helpful. Devices such as the Hawking Hi-Gain Antenna or the Super Cantenna serve the purpose of increasing the wireless signal strength and therefore, extend the range of a given wireless network. Not only can a large area of open space be covered, but the signal quality may be improved in structures with walls and floors that obstruct the signal transmission.
Well, there you have it. Some basic information on wireless networks and what you should look out for when preparing one. Hopefully this will help simplify your wireless experience!

Connecting shower drain to toilet drain
We are remodeling the master bathroom (on a concrete slab) and adding a large shower in a location far from the original shower. We want to drain this new shower through the nearby toilet drain (approx 4-5 feet away). From what I understand we'll have to raise up the shower a bit and drill an inclined path through the concrete slab to the toilet drain to allow it to drain properly. But I have a few questions about attaching this new shower drain to the toilet drain...
1. What size pipe would we use to tie the shower drain to the toilet drain
2. What would be the recommended incline from the shower drain to the toilet drain?
3. Do we attach the new drain above or below the toilet drain?
3. Any other options/ suggestions for adding a new shower drainage system? Drain through sink drains instead?
And help is appreciated. We've had a bathroom remodeler tell us that's the way he wants to do it (drain shower through toilet drain). We just wanted to be sure this is a feasible option.
Thanks for your help.
If there are any plumbing codes we should look into, let me know as well. We live in Alabama.
Drill through the concrete slab? Do you mean break out a slot trench for the new pipe? Why would you have to raise the shower unless grade is a concern?
1) 2"
2) 1/4" per foot
3) A sketch or picture would be helpful
4) Same as above
Have you thought about proper venting for the new shower? How is the toilet vented?
1 Attachment(s)
Yes, I worded that a little wrong, I did mean slotting a trench. I'm not sure what you mean by venting. I know we have a vent pipe in the bathroom that I'm assuming was used by the old shower before. We have to vent the shower separately from the toilet, correct? This the the only photo I have on me at the time, but I'm assuming we'll probably need to get a plumber out here to answer the other questions. We plan to build the shower along the back wall, the toilet room is to the left just inside the door, and the sinks run along the wall on the right. Thanks for your help!
before you cut the slab, make sure you know what kind it is. If it is a post-tension slab, you have to be very careful to avoid cutting the tendons, which hold the slab together.
After locating a slab leak, I had a plumber offer to immediately start jackhammering the slab. He had no idea it was a post-tension slab, and if I did not know better, he was going to blast on through.
You cannot connect a shower to the toilet drain or what would be the waste arm. It needs to be piped within a properly vented branch, unless you revent the new shower line which I be leave you are under the IPC code would need to be wet vented. Which can be tricky? If not the IPC other codes may permit you to do so maybe.
You definitely dont wanna throw a Y on the dirty arm of the toilet to drain the tub. You wanna go on the other side of the vent. But there is no problem with using the toilets waste line as the branch for the bathroom. What else would you do? Take all three fixtures all the way to the main? That can be unnessecarrily costly
Now what is you put a vanity on the toilet waste line, and used it to wet vent the toilet? This would be allowed correct? Or is this also depending on what code you are on?
Following up on this thread: I have a similar issue. I have a toilet that is currently located 12" from the main stack. I am adding a tub to the bathroom and want to drain it into the toilet using a long sweep with a low-heel inlet. See below:
Tub>>> 2" drain pipe >>>>>>long sweep closet w/ heel inlet >>> 3" >>>Cast iron stack
Toilet flange will be mounted above the long sweep closet bend. Is there a problem with this? I've seen different comments on whether the toilet always has to be at the end of the branch or not. Claim seems to be that the extra air allowed into the closet bend will weaken the syphoning effect when flushing the toilet. There is not room to fit a wye between the toilet closet bend and the female connection T to the main stack. Thoughts? Thanks

Hey y'all, newb here. I have a question for you Kahr guys about the trigger on the CW9. I've been reading through the threads here and couldn't find a good answer so I thought I'd ask.
Is the trigger pull length on the CW9 3/8" like the other non-N.Y. style triggers? And more importantly, how smooth is the trigger? I realize smooth is subject to a lot of interpretation but I'm asking any way. Would you compare it to a GLock, a Sig, or a Keltec P-11? If not one of those then like what ever you can compare it to.
I want to replace one of my current carry guns and I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy a Kahr as my new gun. The history on the K9 and P9 both seem to show a very smooth and crisp trigger. Is the CW9 the same? The CW9 is so much less expensive than either the K9 or P9 that I'm a bit concerned that the trigger will not be as good.
I'd appreciate any input you feel is relevant.

Clifton Presbyterian Church
"Very nice small church with lots of charm! Holds 150 maximum and that is using the small choir pews up front on the left side. There are more pictures on the churches website. The historic town has plenty of spots for great pictures especially the red caboose and the train tracks themselves. (Just a few yards from the church) The drive to Clifton is beautiful and you would never know that you are still in Fairfax County!"

Before Stevie Wonder began to sing, he opened up about the first time he heard the song "We Can Work It Out" by The Beatles … He was 15 years old. As the camera panned to Paul McCartney, it showed him mesmerized by Stevie, singing right along with him from his seat.
Stevie jazzed up the song a bit and added a little harmonica to go with it.
Stevie Wonder is making "We Can Work It Out" his own. But it takes that kind of talent. Not just who's current on the charts #Beatles50

Thanks. I used to use original source conditioner but stopped after about a year as I just needed something different. I started to use coconut oil after the wash and found that didn't work so now I'm using it before and it makes my hair very soft.
I am going to buy some conditioner in the same make as the shampoo when I'm next in waitrose. Think I'm going to use the rest of my shampoo then start co-washing anyway to see how that goes.
Now I need to figure out the best conditioners to use! I'm trying to use products made with natural, organic ingredients where possible.

One night, Molly's penchant for running into trouble runs her right into Kevin himself, turning her world upside down. Heartbreak follows, and just when she's certain things can't get worse, Kevin forces his way back into her life. She and Kevin battle their attraction while trying to cope with an aging sexpot actress and a pair of teenage newlyweds.
Their careers and lives are in crisis, yet they can't seem to stay away from each other. Sometimes falling in love hurts; sometimes it makes you mad as hell. And sometimes, if you're very lucky, it can heal in a most special and unexpected way.
©2001 Susan Elizabeth Phillips; (P)2001 HarperCollins Publishers
"Pure up-to-the-minute entertainment." (Publishers Weekly)
"Susan Elizabeth Phillips writes a story that wraps around your heart and doesn't let go." (Oakland Press)
"Great, but not her best!"
I love all of the Susan Elizabeth Phillips books and I love the reading by Anna Fields.
As an artist busy with my hands and eyes I had to give up reading. Then audio books came into my life and I am back to over 200 books a yr.
"It just doesn't get any better than this"
Story line great, reader superb, characters addictive. It is a page turner that you don't want to put down.
Had read others in the series and was really wanting to read about how Molly fits in.
Learning the depth of the characters makes them feel a part of your real life.
The narrator's performance is flawless as always. She does the voices great and adds so much to each character.
I feel saddened by our loss, as readers, of Kate Fleming. She is already dearly missed.
"Touching, quick witted, and my 1st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
This was my very first Susan Elizabeth Phillips read. I was listening at work, and actually voluntered for overtime because I didn't want to stop. SEP is so talented, she gets me. As long as she writes, I will continue to read and or listen. Molly and Kevin had such a unique beginning and an overall touching and witty connection.
"Long drive-what drive? Great listening distraction"
Yes, I really enjoy Anna Field's rendition of this book.
Fun, funny, characters that are likeable.
I really enjoy this Susan Elizabeth Phillips series and wish Audible had more of them!
I believe there are 3 elements to a great romance audible book: good narration, believable plot, flawed characters and great dialogue!
"Molly's my Favorite SEB Character"
This is my second favorite SEB novel (Natural Born Charmer is my top). This one is not as light as some SEB's other books, however the sad elements only made me feel more connected to Molly and Kevin. The secondary plot/characters did distract a little from the story, however not enough for me to rate this any lower than 5 stars!
"Am I the only one who CANNOT STAND the narrator?"
Maybe reading it, but I am never listening to this woman again.
Bernadette Dunne.
I took a shot on this book based on all the comments and the rave reviews of the narration, which I'm really picky with. I couldn't pre-listen to a sample, so I went with it as it's so well-reviewed, but I am really wishing I had saved a credit on this. Her voice is so clinical and old, the voices she does of kids are great, but her general narration detracts from the actual story. FYI- I love the narration of Bernadette Dunne and Rosalyn Landor, so if you do too, and narration is a big deal to you- AVOID this!
"am i missing something?"
i read all the great reviews/ratings and decided to give this one a try but had a hard time finishing the book. I was hopeful that it might get better as the story progressed however I can't help but feel that it was a complete waste of my time listening to this embarrassing book. The story has no point but just seems like some immature girl's love fantacy. I will never pick up a book by this author.
"Fun, breezy listen!"
"This Heart of Mine" was my second Phillips book, and I really enjoyed it. It was a cute story with likeable characters. It was, of course, completely predicable, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the listen!
"I loved it!"
I loved this book! It was funny, sweet and very well written and read! It made me smile several times and giggle even more! I highly recommend it if you want something fun to listen to!

The Utah Utes didn't spend much of their bye week working on game preparations for Colorado State. Instead, they were busy working on themselves.
While Utah coach Kyle Whittingham overall is happy with the progress the Utes have made since the season started, the first four games revealed there was plenty of room for improvement.
The Utes played what Whittingham called "their most complete game" against Louisville, but the offense still has issues.
"We're not as efficient as we need to be in certain situations," Whittingham said.
Specifically, the Utes are most unsatisfied with their red zone offense and third-down conversions. The Utes have made 15 trips into opponents' red zones and have six touchdowns and four field goals.
Offensive coordinator Dave Schramm better quantified the stats.
"Right now we're awful in the red zone, and that falls on me," he said. "We need to score touchdowns. Field goals are nice, but that isn't what we want."
On two occasions, against Utah State and San Jose State, the Utes were stopped on fourth-and-goal situations.
But even worse, Schramm said, was the Utes' habit of hurting themselves with offside calls, false starts and so forth that have hurt the red zone production and Utah's third-down conversion rate, which is just 37 percent (21-for-57).
"We've put ourselves in horrible positions," Schramm said. "It's not third-and-4 or third-and-3, but third-and-12, third-and-13, third-and-14. It has all been self-inflicted like jumping offsides, taking sacks, just craziness. They are things you cannot do and be a good football team."
Despite the frustrations, there have been improvements, according to the coaches. They like the way quarterback Terrance Cain is developing, as well as the receivers.
Of course, the biggest offensive concern is replacing senior running back Matt Asiata, whose season ended when he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee against Louisville.
While his replacement, Eddie Wide, is a different style of runner, neither Schramm nor Whittingham anticipate changing the offense too much, other than giving more carries to backups Sausan Shakerin and Shaky Smithson.
"We have to get guys ready to play because it's a physically demanding position," Schramm said. "Eddie played a lot on special teams, which he won't now, so it affects everything."
Defensively, the Utes feel much better after holding Louisville to 80 rushing yards, believing they are getting back to the stingy level of play they exhibited in 2008 when they ranked No. 11 nationally.
"We're still not where we need to be, but we turned it up a notch," linebacker Stevenson Sylvester said. "The second half against Oregon and the whole game against Louisville, we got a sense of the defense we'd like to be. We have to bring that into every game in conference."

Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:19pm
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- For the sixth-straight season, the American Lacrosse Conference trophy will reside in Evanston as second-ranked Northwestern took care of 10th-ranked Vanderbilt 23-14 in the ALC championship game at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. Sophomore Shannon Smith (West Babylon, N.Y./West Babylon) had a career-day for the 'Cats, netting seven goals and adding three assists.
Offense ruled the chilly afternoon in Columbus as Smith was one of four Wildcats to net at least three goals. Freshman Erin Fitzgerald (Mt. Sinai, N.Y./Mt. Sinai) tied a career-high with four goals, matching the total she put up the last time the 'Cats faced the Commodores. Senior Katrina Dowd (Yorktown Heights, N.Y./Yorktown) and freshman Ali Cassera (Fairfield, N.J./West Essex) each added a hat trick for Northwestern with Dowd adding an assist.
Four other Wildcats found the back of the net on the afternoon, including a pair from senior Danielle Spencer (Rochester, N.Y./Brighton) to go along with a pair of assists and a game-high seven draws. Sophomore Alexandra Frank (Westwood, Mass./Westwood) had two goals and an assist with junior Brooke Matthews (Baltimore, Md./Friends School) and freshman Taylor Thornton (Dallas, Texas/Hockaday School) each notching a goal.
Dowd, the regular season ALC Player of the Year, was named the ALC Championship's Most Valuable Player after racking up nine goals and four assists on the weekend. She was joined on the all-tournament team by Smith, Spencer, Thornton and freshman Gabriella Flibotte (Cohasset, Mass./Groton School).
Northwestern set out early to erase any doubt as to whether or not it would continue its ALC domination as Fitzgerald and Frank put the Wildcats up 2-0 with only 25 seconds burned off the clock.
Vanderbilt would add a goal of its own a few minutes later, setting up a pattern that would continue for the majority of the opening half. The Wildcats would score a pair, followed by one from the Commodores. Leading 10-5, Northwestern finally broke that trend, rattling off five-straight to break the game open at 15-5 in the waning minutes of the opening half.
Leading 15-6 at halftime, Smith would fire her fifth of the game into the back of the net to push the lead back to 10 at 16-6. But Vanderbilt wasn't about to go down quietly, scoring four-straight goals to trim the Northwestern advantage to four at 10-6 with 23:35 remaining.
The Wildcats, however, were not going to be denied in their quest for a sixth-straight conference title. Northwestern would tally four of the next five, including a pair from Smith, to push the lead back to nine at 20-11. Three unanswered down the stretch slammed the door on a possible Vanderbilt comeback as the Wildcats extended their conference winning streak to 36 games, including an 8-0 record in the four ALC Championships. In all, nine different Wildcats recorded a point in the championship game with Matthews and freshman Amanda Macaluso (Smithtown, N.Y./Hauppauge) adding an assist.
It was an even game on the stat sheet as Northwestern held a 35-34 advantage in shots and a 21-18 edge in draw controls while Vanderbilt won the ground ball battle 18-14. The Commodores did have four more turnovers than the Wildcats, with three of them caused by Thornton and two from Flibotte. Sophomore goalkeeper Brianne LoManto (Miller Place, N.Y./Rocky Point) had 10 saves between the pipes for Northwestern.
For those who missed Northwestern's championship game victory, the Big Ten Network will re-air the title game at 9 p.m. CT tonight as part of it's "Student U" intiative.
Northwestern now begins its quest for a sixth-straight national championship as the NCAA tournament selections will be announced at 9 p.m. CT Sunday, May 9. The Wildcats look poised to capture one of the top seeds, and should they be selected to host a first round game, it will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 15, at Lakeside Field.

Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition Revealed

March 16th, 2012, 02:40
Overall, I feel this is a very exciting project! This will be a massive injection of life to the folks & modders from Pocket Plane Group, Spellhold Studios, Gibberlings 3, ect. These communities have been keeping the infinity engine games alive all these years and this remake will ignite new interest in everything that has to do with Baldur's Gate and the infinity engine.
This is the perfect chance to rework the IE and make up for different shortcomings. My biggest gripe are with the avatars, so I hope they are addressed with HD versions. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would love to give there ideas & input. I wonder if Beamdog has /will have a Baldur's Gate forum.

People with less severe cases of SMA, have more copies of this backup gene.
SMA LLC Minnesota based agricultural/industrial construction company.
That is where SMA enjoys its true ex-pat appeal, as compared by many to that of Buenos Aires.
SMA seems like a mecca for single women, of which there are reportedly seven for every one man.
Kerouac, Ginsberg, and Neal Cassady came through for the booze, and Cassady actually died in SMA in 1968.
Is you SMA't 'nough ter see de differunce between de sendin' an' de bringin' ob er thing, chile?
"There's SMA sorrow at our pairting," as the auld mear said to the broken cart.
But 'tis all over now,' and she pressed her SMA' hands tightly over her breast to keep doon the swelling o' her heart.
Our place is but SMA', but ye'll no min' sitttin' doon wi' our ain sels.
O then bespaik hir dochter dear, She was baith jimp and SMA; O row me in a pair o' sheits, And tow me owre the wa.

I am a modern human and accustomed to biting and eating and talking and doing things with my jaw. Researchers at Cambridge and in Toronto have discovered the first fish fossils which contained a primitive percusor of the jaw. According to scientists, "it was a major event in the evolution of vertebrates.After invention of the jaw, vertebrates were able to capture prey and eat them. Of course,after the jaw was invented it was simply a matter of time before humans could speak words and jabber away with profound thoughts. Consider the consequences:
1. No jaw,no Tea Party demanding ending immigration in America, of course, that would mean ending the United States of America given that we all are immigrants.
2. No Ted Cruz demanding action, some place with something –just don't use American forces. Has he considered that we send illegal immigrants to fight in Iraq? Kills three problems-al-Qaeda, illegal immigration, and increases profits for gun companies.
3. No deadlock in Congress. After all, a deadlock means Republicans can rant and rave for days about something.
4. No Fox News and no cute,pert, blond haired girls who jabber away about something–you know, the stuff written on those cards!
5. It definitely would resolve the problem of obesity in America!

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney says his heart told him he was going to win the presidency, but when early results came in on election night, he knew it was not to be.
The Republican nominee told
Fox News Sunday
that he knew his campaign was in trouble when exit polls suggested a close race in Florida. Romney thought he'd win the state solidly.
President Barack Obama ended up taking Florida and won the election by a wide margin in the electoral vote allocated in state-by-state contests.
Romney said there was "a slow recognition" at that time that Obama would win — and the race soon was over when Obama carried Ohio.
Romney said the loss hit hard and was emotional. Ann Romney said she cried.
The interview, which was taped Thursday and aired Sunday, was one of the first major public appearances by the Romneys since the Nov. 6 election. The Romneys are living in Southern California now.
The former Massachusetts governor acknowledged mistakes in the campaign and flaws in his candidacy.
But he joked that he did better in his second run for the White House than he did the first time around — when he lost the 2008 nomination to Arizona Sen. John McCain, who went on to lose to Obama.
He said he won't get a third crack at it.
Romney said his campaign didn't do a good job connecting with minority voters, and that Republicans must do a better job in appealing to African-Americans and Hispanics. Obama won more than 90% of the black vote and about 70% of the Hispanic vote.
Romney said his campaign also underestimated the appeal of Obama's new health care law to low-income voters.
But he knows that because he lost the race, it's hard to tell Republicans to listen now to what he has to say about how to improve the party's message.
Romney, who has kept a low profile since the election, said "you move on" from the disappointment and that "I don't spend my life looking back."
Ann Romney said that after the election she was approached by TV's
Dancing with the Stars
, but declined to join the cast.
She said she'll be turning 64 soon and "I'm not really as flexible as I should be."

Geotargeting is the practice of customizing an advertisement for a product or service to a specific market based on the geographic location of potential buyers. Every country, province, state, county or city in the world can constitute a niche market for certain products or services at certain times.
Know Thy Customer: Sales Analytics, Forecasting and New Tools
Customer data analytics can reap significant financial rewards for your organization's sales, marketing and customer service departments. With so much data to contend with, companies often struggle with making sense of information from customers, public records and external databases. Luckily, we evaluate the newest sales and marketing tools making the process easier for IT managers and sales executives.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
On the Internet, geotargeting can help small businesses to compete with national brands and can ensure that large corporations effectively make use of their advertising resources. For example, a manufacturer of gasoline-powered electric generators may run ads in May and June targeted at residents of the Atlantic and Gulf coastal regions of the United States in preparation for the upcoming hurricane season. As another example, suppose you are a literary agent just getting started in the business and you are looking for authors to write books about cowboys and ranchers. Your website might tailor the content to be of special interest to residents of the western United States.
Geographically targeted ads can increase returns significantly over "blind advertising." On the Internet, clickthrough rates are improved compared with advertisements not targeted by location. The results in a given situation depend on the geographical distribution of potential customers, a variable that requires intensive research to accurately determine.

text: Politics 2 February 2010 Obama unveils US budget with record deficit The US President Barack Obama has unveiled a new $3.8tn (£2.4tn) budget that forecasts a record defi Sign up for our weekly email * The deficit projection of $1.56tn (£975bn) for the fiscal year to September 30, 2011, is about 10.6 per cent of the US GDP, beating last year's record of $1.41tn (£875bn). It is far higher than even what the White House forecast merely a week ago. The President's Republican opponents were quick to seize the opportunity, accusing him of being a 'tax-and-spend President' and spending without any thought for the future. Obama has blamed the unprecedented government debt on his predecessor, arguing that the country's deficit was passed on to him by George W Bush, who cut taxes and waged two wars. He said he had no option but to spend his way out of the recession and continue to do whatever he can to create jobs. In a televised address from the White House, Obama said the government won't be able to bring down the deficit overnight because economic recovery is still taking hold. But he admitted that "we simply cannot continue to spend as if deficits don't have consequences." The president's budget plans now go for Congressional approval. He has pledged to more than halve the budget deficit to 4 per cent (about $706bn) by the time his term ends in 2014. Subscribe from just £1 per issue More

Once you select Copy or grab disc, you'll be presented with a menu to select your source DVD drive and pick the target. If you want to just make a copy of the disc in your drive, you won't need to change any options here. Simply click copy disc, and the program will prompt you when to remove the CD/DVD you want to copy and put in a blank CD/DVD. You can also select to copy the disc to an ISO or MDS file on your hard drive by selecting hard disc.
There are many more advanced functions supported in CDBurnerXP, and there is a fantastic knowledge base and FAQ available by clicking here. There isn't much more you can ask for than a free, great CD burning utility, and I've got it installed on all of my computers, both at work and home.
