Today marks the third anniversary of Harmony of a Hunter!
It's hard to believe that so much time has passed since we released our fan-arrangement album in celebration of Metroid's 25th anniversary, marking the occasion with a musical tribute to one of the greatest video game franchises ever made. To this day, Harmony of a Hunter is still being enjoyed by fans of the franchise, the wider video game community and beyond.
Looking back, I feel that Harmony of a Hunter has achieved something far greater than I originally set out to create, and reached a much larger number of fans than I ever thought possible. One amazing example of this was back in March this year, where I attended the wedding of two very good friends of mine. One of the guests had heard of the album, someone I had never even met before! I always considered the album to be a success, but I never imagined I would come face to face with someone who had heard about it outside of the people I speak to personally. In addition to that, there were one or two people at gaming expos that I attended over the past couple of years that had heard of the album. It was incredibly satisfying, and something I am very proud of.
Of course, such a project is never the result of one person, my incredibly talented, dedicated team of musicians, artists and engineers made this album possible, they endured my instructions for longer than any sane person would. We had fun, we also shared many arguments and disagreements, but we got there, and judging by the response that the album received, I think it was worth it.
A notable mention must also be given to the many websites, blogs, message boards and communities who shared our project to their readers. There would be too many to list here, but you know who you are. It's highly likely that because of those people, you were able to listen to Harmony of a Hunter.
Which brings me on to the next point, the fans. This project was created for people like you, like me, who wanted to mark such a historic milestone for a franchise that was totally deserving, where Nintendo was unable. You motivated us to complete this album, and your continued support encouraged us to create a further album, Harmony of a Hunter: 101% Run the following year. A huge thank you must go to every person who had a kind word to say, who recommended us to a friend and have stuck by us. The continued support you have shown has been driving us, and continues to do so. It means a lot!
The Metroid franchise has now reached its 28th anniversary, and while that original 25 year milestone may be a distant memory, Harmony of a Hunter continues to be enjoyed by many Metroid fans. It is one of my proudest achievements, probably just as much as Shinesparkers. Later this year we will be releasing our next album, a Super Smash Bros fan-arrangement album called "Harmony of Heroes". I hope that this is something that fans of the previous albums can get behind and will enjoy just as much as our previous albums, if not more so.
On behalf of the team, thank you.

I am sure this is no secret, but I have found many people still don't do it. When I am surfing the Internet or even on Pinterest and come across something worth "pinning", I don't always have the patience to type in what it is, in the comment area.
I usually just highlight the wording I want like this, then hit "Pin It".
I have found an even easier way though!
When you upload your photo on to your blog, simply label the photo with what you would want the pin to say. After the "pinner" clicks which photo they want to pin, the wording will automatically be in the comment box.
Here is an example (Just click to photo to see it bigger!):
When uploading a photo change the TITLE of the photo to what you want it to say for Pinterest.
Notice when I hoover over the photo, you can see the text.
After hitting my "Pin It" button and choosing the bottom photo,
my create pin box popped up JUST LIKE THAT!
Just a little Pinterest tip I have learned that saves everyone some time!

UPDATE 2-Gold miner Newmont cuts cost forecast, beats market
(Recasts; adds analyst comment, copper outlook details)
By Nicole Mordant
July 20 (Reuters) - Newmont Mining's adjusted net income in the second quarter blew past market expectations on Wednesday and the world's second biggest gold miner by value also cut its gold cost forecast, sending its shares higher after hours.
Greenwood Village, Colorado-based Newmont kicked off the reporting season for large North American gold miners, which are expected to have benefited from a rise in bullion prices this year.
Newmont, which also mines copper, said adjusted income rose to $231 million, or 44 cents a share, in the quarter ended June as gold output rose and costs fell.
That compared with $131 million, or 26 cents a share, in the same period a year ago and was well ahead of analysts' expectations, on average, of 29 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Newmont's stock rose to $40.20 after hours from a $39.29 close. The miner's stock has risen 130 percent since January helped by a 24 percent gold price jump.
"It looks like solid results from the company. It's a deep beat relative to our numbers and the street," BMO Capital Markets analyst Andrew Kaip said.
Newmont, which has mines in the Americas, Africa, Australia and Asia lowered its forecast for gold all-in sustaining costs - the industry benchmark - to between $870 and $930 an ounce in 2016. Continued...

A Federal Claims Court judge agreed Thursday with the Navy's motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by about 300 sailors separated by the 2011 enlisted retention boards — a suit that sought either restoration of the sailors' Navy service or compensation for lost wages and benefits.
Judge Lynn Bush, who served as a civilian Navy lawyer in the 1980s and '90s, dismissed the case, stating that the Navy acted rationally and that the court cannot "intrude upon the Navy's power to manage its active-duty workforce."
E.W. Keller, the lawyer for the ERB'd sailors, told Navy Times he plans to appeal the decision to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. He says the appeal will be successful based on two key factors — part of the wording of the opinion casts doubt on the accuracy of the ERB process, and the next judge likely won't have Bush's employment history.
Keller said Friday that he had yet to read the entire ruling, but he cited passages in the 30-page document that call the ERB process "speculation." He said the Navy was aware this speculation — based upon a belief that the fleet needed to reduce its manning — was inaccurate well before the discharge date of the ERB'd sailors.
"Instead of correcting that mistake, they went ahead and discharged them," Keller said, adding that "if this decision were to stand, the Navy would be able to discharge anybody at any time ... just on erroneous speculation. I just do not think the courts would uphold that."
The ruling states that the 2011 ERB process, which separated 2,946 sailors on or before Sept. 1, 2012, was "rational in its inception and in its fulfillment of assigned tasks," and that "it is of no consequence that some of the factual underpinnings of the ERB process might have been erroneous." It also states "at a minimum, the facts adduced by the Navy were reasonably conceived, and the predicted success of the ERB to address over-manning issues was a rational speculation."
Further, it agrees in full with nearly all of the Navy's assertions in requesting the dismissal. The ruling stated that "nothing in the creation of the ERB or the discharges that ensued exceeded the authority" cited by the Navy in making the manning cuts. It also criticized Keller's case, stating that the "challenges to the ERB process are not always clearly set forth or logically organized."
The ruling also denied the plaintiffs' motion to include supplemental exhibits that were "offered to show that the Navy should not have decided to discharge plaintiffs." These included three Navy Times articles on the Navy personnel matters and a ratings quota chart, the ruling says. Other supplemental information was allowed by the judge, including affidavits from ERB'd sailors and a letter one wrote to his congressman outlining the ERB process.
Even with that added evidence, the court ruled that "plaintiffs' claim for back pay and allowances is dismissed with prejudice based on the court's view of the administrative record," and that other claims, including those of retirement benefits for sailors separated before reaching the 15-year retirement-eligibility mark, fell outside the court's jurisdiction.
In a statement, the Navy defended its decision to use the ERB process to remove sailors from overmanned ratings.
"Sailors who were not retained as a result of the board were offered the opportunity to apply for conversion to an undermanned rating they were qualified [for], or for transition into the Reserve component," Cmdr. Kathy Kesler, special assistant for public affairs for the chief of personnel, said Friday in an emailed statement. "In addition to the wide range of transition assistance benefits already afforded to Sailors who separate, the Navy provided several enhanced transition assistance benefits to ERB separating Sailors."
Momentum from dismissal?
Keller filed the suit Aug. 2 on behalf of 105 sailors — more joined as it progressed. The Navy filed its motion to dismiss Oct. 15, asserting that, among other reasons for dismissal, the U.S. Federal Court of Claims did not have jurisdiction over the ERB proceeding.
Keller also filed a motion asking Bush to recuse herself. It was denied.
A former Navy spouse who created the "Sailors Against ERB" Facebook page was not surprised by the ruling, nor did she express any disappointment.
"This is just the best news for our case that we could have possibly expected," said Jennifer Beasley, wife of former Aviation Electronics Technician 1st Class (AW) Walter "Beau" Beasley, one of the plaintiffs. "I think we're going to gain more momentum with this decision.
Jennifer Beasley said the Navy's recent personnel moves, including the discontinuation of Perform to Serve and the ease of re-enlistment being promised to some sailors in ratings that once were staffed by ERB'd sailors, have helped her side's argument. She also reiterated Keller's concerns about Bush's prior Navy employment.
The Facebook page had more than 2,800 "likes" as of June 7.

Crafty stay-at-home moms turn to online sales
By Karina Ioffee
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Lara Lewis used to be a stressed-out single mother whose teaching job left her little time for her young daughter, but now she works from home, selling an estimated $60,000 a year worth of jewelry online.
The 37-year-old from State College, Pennsylvania, is one of an estimated 5.1 million stay-at-home U.S. mothers, many of whom juggle child-rearing and generating an income. A growing number are starting their own businesses.
The Small Business Administration says the number of self-employed women around the country jumped by 10 percent from 2000 to 2006, to 5.3 million.
For Lewis, an online marketplace called Etsy provided a place to sell her estate-style and faux vintage pieces. The website, www.etsy.com, lets craft makers set up their own virtual shops. It currently has more than 4.2 million users.
"It's wonderful to be able to call my own shots," Lewis said. "I can work at night, so if I want to do something with my family, I can."
Launched in 2005, the Brooklyn, New York-based Etsy now has more than 400,000 sellers, most of whom are women, and posted more than $180 million in sales last year. Nearly 70 percent of sellers are college-educated.
"You have this generation of women who understand the value of staying at home to raise their children, but they also want to contribute to the household income and have a creative outlet," said Megan Auman, a Pennsylvania-based designer who started Crafting an MBA, www.craftmba.com, a blog aimed at helping artisans market their products online. "It's another path to financial security."

You will be amazed at how rich and creamy and chocolatey this 4 Ingredient Vegan Chocolate Ice cream is AND how simple it is! Tastes JUST like dairy milk chocolate ice cream. NO bananas!
Today I make your dreams come true. Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream that is only 4 ingredients, ridiculously creamy, chocolatey, rich and requires no ice cream maker. Did I mention it's only 4 ingredients?! And NO. This is not the banana ice cream that is all over the internet that turns into a rock hard block of ice in the freezer. That is not true ice cream folks, I'm talking rich, creamy ice cream that will fool dairy lovers and that tastes just like dairy chocolate ice cream, yet it is dairy-free. YUP.
By the way...thank you so much for the overwhelming response to the above photo I shared on both this Facebookpost and Instagram as the teaser of the upcoming recipe! The compliments on this photo and the excitement truly made my day. I really enjoyed doing this photo shoot!
We are having a major chocolate party here. Chocolate ice cream made with sweet potatoes is where it's at, folks.
I am quite the ice cream creator here on this blog. I have 11 ice cream recipes already!! So, this makes 12! And several of them involve chocolate. But you know what? Most of them are 8 ingredients and contain nuts or more specific ingredients that may require an extra trip to the store. The CRAZY thing about this 4 ingredient vegan chocolate ice cream is that it is now my go-to. I've made it countless times now because it's just soooo darn easy and so chocolatey. It's mind-blowing how simple it is.
I'm not looking for the healthiest raw ice cream here. I just want something that is super easy, tastes like TRUE ICE CREAM and only takes a few minutes prep. So, do you want to know the secret to making rich, chocolatey, creamy ice cream without expensive ingredients?
Chocolate chips, sweet potato, coconut milk and vanilla (and a pinch of salt)! That's it! I was so ecstatic to find that nobody else has done an ice cream recipe like this out there (that I could find!)...sure people have used sweet potato (I have myself!) but not this exact simple chocolatey sweet potato ice cream.
Can you taste the sweet potato?? Not at all. In fact, my hubby who hates sweet potato had no clue (and still doesn't!) that it was in there. It honestly just tastes like milk chocolate ice cream. Then key is just blending it up really well.
This vegan chocolate ice cream is dairy-free, oil-free and nut-free. Most vegan ice creams are made with cashews and can leave a cashew flavor, which I'm not crazy about, so this one just tastes like pure chocolate. I used light coconut milk instead of full-fat and that way, there is no coconut flavor whatsoever. There is enough fat in it from the cocoa butter from the chocolate chips, so it is plenty creamy. No need for the full-fat coconut milk.
I use Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips because they are dairy-free and I love the ingredients. The ingredients are so simple and have the best flavor. It is just sugar, chocolate liquor and cocoa butter. That's it folks. Plus, they are pretty much sold at every single grocery store.
The inspiration for this ice cream came from wanting a really, really simple ice cream recipe that required minimal prep and minimal ingredients. It's been a long time since I used sweet potatoes in my ice cream, so I used one of my oldest recipes as the inspiration, my Chocolate Peppermint Sweet Potato Ice Cream. Using it again in a much simpler, straight-forward chocolate ice cream was the best decision ever.
I also found this adorable ice cream container at the Anthropologie store and I just love it. It is pretty deep and is great for storing ice cream in.
I cannot WAIT to hear what you all think about this ice cream, so pretty please leave me feedback below after you make it!! I work so hard to share these amazing creations with you all, so getting feedback makes it all worth it! I'd also love to see this explode all over Instagram, so be sure to tag me @thevegan8 and don't forget to use my hashtag #thevegan8 or I will likely miss it!

Serves 1/2 cup

The easiest and ice cream you will make that rivals dairy ice cream. The combo of sweet potatoes, coconut milk and chocolate chips gives a rich, creamy, chocolatey ice cream that is reminiscent of milk chocolate ice cream we all grew up on...but so much healthier.
- 3/4 cup (170g) cooked mashed and packed orange sweet potato (180 g, make sure you do not use more than this, there is a reason this much is used so it's not detected)
- 2 cups room temp lite canned coconut milk (474 mL, shake the cans well prior to measuring)
- 1 1/2 cups (283 g) mini dairy-free semi-sweet Enjoy Life chocolate chips (or use 1 whole 10 oz bag, there is no substitution, the chocolate chips have fat in them that makes the ice cream creamy)
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Cook your sweet potato your preferred method. I chose to just microwave it for time purposes but you can bake it if you like. Bake it at 400 degrees with skin still on until very soft. Do not steam or boil it, as too much water will get into the potato. Let it cool a few minutes.
- Once your potato is cooked and cooled a bit, peel the skin off and completely mash it really well with a fork. You don't want any chunks or skins. Pack it in the measuring cup (3/4 cup) really well and level off. Add it to a blender. Add the coconut milk, vanilla and salt. Don't blend yet.
- Melt your chocolate chips your preferred method. I used the microwave and added them to a cereal bowl and microwaved in 15 second intervals, stirring in between, until about 90% melted. Then I stirred it until completely melted and smooth. You have to be careful about overheating chocolate or it will burn and be useless. Add the melted chocolate to the blender and be sure to scrape all that chocolate goodness out of the bowl.
- Blend the ingredients on high for a minute or so until completely smooth. You don't want any bits remaining from the potato. Taste and if you want it sweeter, add sugar, I did not. I found it to be perfectly chocolatey.
- Now, if you have an ice cream maker, then by all means use it, it will help make it creamier. But I tested 3 batches withOUT an ice cream maker and they were all delicious. You simply need to follow this method. Add your blended ice cream base to an ice cream storage container and place in the freezer. Set your timer for 30 minutes and stir the ice cream around really well, as the edges will start to firm up first. Add back to the freezer and do this every 30 minutes until it is solid or at your desired consistency. About 2 hours should do it, depending on your freezer temp. After that, if you let it freeze overnight, you may need to let it sit out at room temperature for about 15 minutes or so to soften a bit before eating. Again, this will depend on how cold you keep your freezer. I can control my temp so mine only needed a few minutes at room temp before eating. You can also pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds too if you like.
- If you want an extra chocolate syrup dose, just melt some extra chocolate chips and drizzle on top and it will freeze immediately like a magic shell. YUM. Now, after you eat this ice cream, come back and leave me feedback telling me how much it rocked your world like it did ours!
- Tip on freezing: Each time you let ice cream sit out and thaw, you encourage ice crystals to form. So, you can freeze the ice cream base in individual servings and just take out your serving each time you want some ice cream. Or, when removing the ice cream to thaw, the condensation that forms underneath the lid, make sure to wipe that each time so it doesn't refreeze and drop ice crystals into your ice cream.
Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free, nut-free

You have got me so curious!
When is the last time you used protein in your hair?
It does seem like your hair is
porous. I started to think this when you said it was slurping up KCKT...and then GVP Balm...But then when you said it drank in mayo, eggs, etc. ...WOW. (It's hungry too!
Even with a "Prell" wash, I cannot imagine non-porous hair being
absorbent. When is the last time you did a "floaty" test?
If your hair was coated with cones, I don't think it would be able to suck in all that stuff. I think your hair would feel sticky; not to mention phenomenally greasy.
Do you color your hair? (I can't remember what you said about this, sorry)
Did you have your hair analyzed very recently?
Could it possibly be your water stripping every last bit of moisture from your scalp? I moved to AZ from SoCAL last June, and the difference in the water is remarkable. Whenever I hear anyone in AZ complaining about the "hard" water, I know for sure they've never lived in LA. The water back there feels like rinsing with sand compared to the water here, and I don't have a water softener. At some point, could your hair have been absorbing too much water, and the heaviness led to trouble?

text: MCLEAN, Va., May 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Long layovers can eat up hours of the day and are not worth the cheaper plane ticket for a majority of rewards card holders. According to the recent Capital One Rewards Barometer,* which surveys how consumers accumulate and redeem credit card rewards, more than two-thirds of respondents would opt for a direct flight over snagging cheaper airfare with longer travel time. The survey also revealed that only 18 percent of respondents would give up their already cramped in-flight space for a cheaper plane ticket. "Several benefits that were once embedded in airfares are now being offered a la carte," said Amy Lenander, Vice President of Rewards Programs at Capital One. "As summer travel begins to heat up, consumers should take a closer look at their rewards programs to see if they can offset these new travel costs with their rewards points. Building rewards points is only worth it if you can actually use them." Summer Travel According to the survey, more consumers plan to travel this year than last (70 percent vs. 67 percent respectively) with many kicking off summer travel on Memorial Day weekend, a 31 percent increase over last year (21 percent in 2013 vs. 16 percent in 2012). In order to offset costs, more travelers plan to use their credit card rewards this year to cover airfare for their summer getaways (67 percent vs. 58 percent respectively). The cost of gas seems to be less of a concern for travelers this year, as only 13 percent plan to redeem rewards for gas compared to 18 percent last year. Loyalty Even with more people traveling this summer, the survey reveals that hotel or airline loyalty is trumped by summer travel deals. Interestingly, when making summer 2013 travel arrangements, respondents said that they first consider their destination (45 percent) and then find the best deal (42 percent). Loyalty to particular airlines and hotel chains was a priority for only seven percent of rewards card holders. Those surveyed, however, are noticeably more loyal when it comes to their primary rewards card. In fact, more than half of respondents who indicate satisfaction with their program report that they have had the same card for five or more years. Rewards programs that offer both banking and credit card rewards are likely to retain more of their customers, as 42 percent of those surveyed prefer to bank and earn credit card rewards from the same financial institution.

i have to ask, is prilosec different than dexilant/prevacid? as you know, i have a sensitive stomach as it is.

A window into health in California.
« Full episode for
Thu, May 23, 2013
Officials with Covered California are expected to release, for the first time, a list of the health plans and rates they plan to offer on the state-run insurance marketplace this fall. They'll probably be watching closely for the reaction of one group -- young adults. They make up the largest segment of the state's uninsured, and if they opt out of the insurance market, Obamacare could be in trouble. Reporter: Mina Kim

Researchers Approach Cure for Cancer
Researchers at Houston's Memorial-Hermann Cancer Center say using the body's own immune system to fight cancer is promising now, after years of work. Dr. Robert Amato is the center's director. He says the most important recent development is engineering T-cells to recognize cancer cells.
"The T-cells activate, they bind to the cancer cells, recognizing they are foreign," he explains, "and the immune system does its role, activating further immuno-components."
In the past, immunotherapy has been limited in its effectiveness because the surface of the cancer cells has been hard to identify, so the immune system will do its job.
Dr. Amato won't call this a cure -- yet.
"I would refrain from using the word cure, but it potentially could evolve in that direction,' he says, "because we all believe if we can harness the immune system, that those are the opportunities for curing cancer."
Doctors say the strength of your own body's immune system far surpasses the benefits offered by drugs and chemotherapy.
Another positive thing -- these therapies don't cause bad side effects.

Spidey Sense
With all that's going on in the world today, it's hard to think of Africa as a peaceful, non-civil-war-and-AIDS-and-famine-ridden continent. Every time you turn on the news, something else is happening to further send man's evolutionary homeland into a state of disarray. Maybe it's because the situation is so disheartening that we wait as long as possible before letting our kids know what's really going on in the land of The Lion King. The Dallas Children's Theater is helping to preserve the innocence with their production of Ananse the Spider Man. Based upon a Ghanaian folk tale, the play is about the antics of trickster Ananse, a sometimes-spider/sometimes-man (hence the title). He occasionally means well but frequently tries to get out of whatever task is required of him by duping others. Fed up with his laziness, the humans and animals that have fallen victim to his schemes demand retribution, and Ananse faces his most daunting challenge yet. Ananse plays at the El Centro Performance Hall at El Centro College, 801 N. Main St. Shows are Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 1:30 p.m. and Sundays at 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. through February 19. Tickets are $16. Call 214-740-0051 or visit www.dct.org.
Fridays, 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays, 1:30 p.m.; Sundays, 1:30 & 4:30 p.m. Starts: Feb. 3. Continues through Feb. 19

The guy is tough, works hard, and has an eye for the net. IMO I'de have him on the wings before your generic soft grinder (eaves, glendenning, emmerton, etc) any day. He has adapted his game for the wings, and has more dimension on a fourth line than any of the previously mentioned guys! Sheahan and Ferraro have under achieved compared to what many expected out of them, when they were drafted, Cally has done nothing but work his ass off and improve every year. He's not an enforcer by any means, but isn't afraid of anyone, and can also put the puck in the net. He deserves a shot. also, although +/- can be deceptive, Mitch is a plus 13.

Honestly If they want to die due to a hard hit who is the NHL to stop them as long as their not liable for compensation of injured players salary. And if players didnt get paid while injured maybe they would stop ***** footing around.
If you believe in "freedom" then you have to believe in people doing whatever they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. I.E. Marijuana.
Grown men shouldn't be told what to do. Personal decision, period. This is kinda like America forcing you 2 give your money to poor's. If you want to do that give your money to charity.

Citation: Kim, K., Clay, D.E., Carlson, C.G., Clay, S.A., Trooien, T. 2008. Do synergistic relationships between nitrogen and water influence the ability of corn to use nitrogen derived from fertilizer and soil? Agronomy Journal. 100(3):551-556. Interpretive Summary: Nitrogen (N) and water are important factors for increasing corn yield. Most available N sources for plants are N fertilizer and soil. The objective of the study was to determine the influence of soil water regime on the ability of corn (Zea mays L.) to utilize N derived from N fertilizer and soil. These results showed: 1) corn plants responded to N and water simulataneously; 2) N fertilizer increased water-use efficiency (170 kg vs 223 kg grain/cm in 0 and 112 kg N/ha treatments); and 3) water increased the ability of corn to utilize N derived from soil and N fertilizer. Yield goal based N recommendation models can be improved by replacing the constant with a variable by optimizing N use efficiency and yield as well as reducing the environmental impact of N. Therefore, producers will benefit from the improved N recommendation equations for site-specific N management. In addition, society will benefit from reduced N fertilizer use in precision farming.
Technical Abstract: To improve site-specific N recommendations a more complete understanding of the mechanisms responsible for synergistic relationships between N and water is needed. The objective of this research was to determine the influence of soil water regime on the ability of corn (Zea mays L.) to utilize N derived from fertilizer and soil. A randomized split-block experiment was conducted in 2002, 2003, and 2004. Soil at the site was a Brandt silty clay loam (fine-silty, mixed, superactive frigid Calcic Hapludoll). Blocks were split into moderate (natural rainfall) and high (natural + supplemental irrigation) water regimes. Nitrogen rates were 0, 56, 112, and 168 kg urea-N ha-1 that was surface applied. Water, soil N, and N fertilizer use efficiencies were determined. Plant utilization of soil N was determined by mass balance in the unfertilized control plots and by using the delta 15N approach in fertilized plots. Findings showed that: 1) plants responded to N and water simultaneously; 2) N fertilizer increased water-use efficiency (170 kg vs 223 kg grain cm-1 in 0 and 112 kg N ha-1 treatments, respectively); and 3) water increased the ability of corn to utilize N derived from soil (67.7 and 61.6% efficient in high and moderate water regimes, respectively, p=0.002) and fertilizer (48 and 44% efficient in high and moderate water regimes, respectively, p=0.10). Higher N-use efficiency in the high water regime was attributed to two interrelated factors. First, total growth and evapotranspiration (ET) were higher in the high than the moderate water regime. Second, N transport to the root increased with water transpired. For precision farming, results indicate that: 1) the amount of N fertilizer needed to produce a kg of grain is related to the yield loss due to water stress; and 2) the constant used in yield goal equations can be replaced with a variable.

(CNSNews.com) - A Heritage Foundation study finds that the Bush economic stimulus plan, which calls for tax cuts and limited government spending, would create more jobs and do more to revive the American economy than the plan submitted by Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.).
Daschle's plan calls for government spending increases with limited and targeted tax cuts.
Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) is proposing the Bush plan in the Senate so the Heritage study refers to it as the "Bush-Grassley plan."
The Bush-Grassley plan consists of five elements: individual income tax reductions, tax policy changes that reduce capital costs, cash relief to low and middle income workers, extending and expanding unemployment insurance and expanding health insurance coverage.
Specifically, the Bush-Grassley plan would accelerate the tax rate reductions currently scheduled for 2004 and 2006 and make them effective next year; repeal the corporate alternative minimum tax; provide supplemental cash payments to taxpayers who were not qualified to receive the full amount of last summer's rebates. Under this last scenario, single taxpayers would receive $300, married taxpayers would get $600 and the head of a household would receive $500.
The Daschle plan consists of these five elements: cash relief to low and middle income workers, tax policy changes that reduce capital costs, extending and expanding unemployment insurance, expanding health insurance coverage, and significantly increase spending for infrastructure and national security projects.
The Daschle plan calls for supplemental tax rebate checks for taxpayers who did not receive the full amount last summer, a 10 percent "bonus" depreciation for investment in capital and software placed in service over the next 12 months, extension of expiring tax credits plus a temporary extension and expansion of Unemployment Insurance. It also calls for spending increases for agriculture, highway projects, border security, and state and local anti-terrorism grants.
The Heritage report found that the Daschle plan would reduce federal tax revenue and increase spending by a total of $88 billion over the next five years. Under the Bush-Grassley plan, revenues would remain about the same and spending increases would total $248 billion over the next five years, the report said.
Both plans, according to Heritage, affect economic activity, but the Bush-Grassley plan would produce nearly twice as many jobs as the Daschle plan. Heritage bases this on calculations from their own economists and the Center for Data Analysis.
The Bush-Grassley plan would increase disposable income for a family of four by $1,176 a year while the Daschle plan would increase it by $844, according to the report.
Heritage reported that the Bush-Grassley approach is a supply side plan that lowers tax rates and the tax burden on investment and capital assets while providing incentives for business owners and workers, thus producing more jobs and higher incomes, which translate into greater investment and consumer spending.
The Daschle plan relies primarily on cash transfers to displaced workers and distressed businesses to stimulate economic activity, the report stated.
"While this plan produces some increase in employment and income and is better than doing nothing, it fails to substantially increase the fundamental incentives for stronger economic activity," the study said. "The Daschle plan never creates a large consumer response that produces job and income increases like the Bush-Grassley plan does."
Vice President Richard Cheney praised the Heritage Foundation study during a speech Wednesday before the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington and urged the Senate to pass the Bush-Grassley package.
Cheney believes tax cuts of up to $75 billion would spur consumer spending and encourage businesses to create thousands of jobs.
"Tax relief works. It is absolutely essential to get on with moving a stimulus plan now," the vice president said.
The Senate resumed debate Wednesday on the Daschle plan. The House last month passed an economic package that consisted mainly of tax cuts.
Senate insiders say neither the Republicans nor the Democrats currently have enough votes to pass either the Bush-Grassley plan or the Daschle plan.
More than 80 House Republicans have signed a letter to Daschle urging him to reconsider the comments he made on Oct. 27, in which the Senate majority leader said the economic stimulus bill was "not as front burner" an issue as other legislation.
House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt (D-Mo.) said after last week's Democratic gubernatorial victories in New Jersey and Virginia that he believes Democrats are on the right track.
"The traditional Republican message of tax cuts and cultural issues is probably not resonating right now," Gephardt said. "People are focused on the economic security issues. They're worried about their own jobs. They're worried about unemployment. They're worried about health insurance."

Need help with painting my walls red over drywall repairs
Hey guys-
I have an Asian room that was painted a deep red. The job didn't look awesome but better than average. Anyways, I had to move some shelves and decided to fix some nail pops. Well here is where my nightmare begins. I spackled the holes and sanded them as well as I could to the point to where they were as near to flush with the wall as I could imagine. Well, I figured a I could just re-prime and paint the area and it would dry to match the orginal... NO WAY! The area stuck out like a sore thumb. So I re-painted the whole wall but no matter how much I try... the areas that were spackled look like blisters even though they are flat to the wall. Plus the original red show where I may have missed a spot with the new coat... so I'm left of this cycle of re-sanding priming painting etc... and nothing looks as good as the original!!!
Can anyone offer some advice and tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to stop this madness?
One approach to this type of repair that is often successful is to keep the repair and touchup as small as possible. Scrape off the pop being careful to limit the damage - touch up with just enough mud to cover the hole - sand and wipe area with damp cloth - use touch up paint and small artist brush to mask repaired area. This often works simply because the repaired area is so small it goes unnoticed.
In your case the repaired area stands out because the texture of the recently applied paint is different from the original coating. Each coat you add changes the texture more and more and makes it less and less likely that the repair will match the original. Sometimes one touch up coat can be left alone for a few days/weeks to 'dry down' and will end up matching. In your case, I think you may have to take a more drastic approach. Give your repair a day or two to dry, then thoroughly pole sand the entire wall with 120 grit paper, prime and finish coat. You may get away without having to prime the entire wall given you have spot primed the repair, but why take chances.
If that doesn't work, I suggest window coverings and 40 watt light bulbs.
as windows said "Give your repair a day or two to dry, then thoroughly pole sand the entire wall with 120 grit paper, prime and finish coat."
thats all you can do now to make it right.:mad::mad::furious::laughing:
If it is the primer you need to have it tinted. Dark red is difficult to patch and match. What you need is a quart of tinted primer, about 90% tint to a medium to dark grey. The red paint should cover it perfectly.

text: I've had the TiVo Roamio Pro running for about a week now. It's a great box, love the 6 tuners and faster speed. However, there are some bugs that are driving me crazy. Here's my list so far: 1. Poor IR sensitivity - others have reported this. I have to point my Harmony remote straight at the Roamio Pro to get it to consistently pickup. the sensitivity is much less than my Premiere XL. 2. No Recordings due to "No Signal" - twice so far the Roamio Pro has not recorded shows on ABC, Once Upon a Time and Last Man Standing. If you look at the history it says Not Recorded due to "No Signal". This is very odd and a problem I never had with the Premiere XL. FYI, I have TWC in Raleigh. ABC is WTVD on channel 1111. Once Upon a Time is my wife's favorite show and she's ready to throw the Roamio out the window... 3. Roamio Pro not seen by TiVo Desktop - The first time I started TiVo Desktop it correctly saw the Roamio Pro, let me setup auto-transfers and transferred records. Since then TiVo Desktop refuses to see the Roamio Pro at all. Others have reported the same problem in other threads and apparently TiVo has acknowledged that this is a bug that will require an updated TiVo Desktop client. Please don't keep us waiting long TiVo, you have a bad history of waiting a LONG time between TiVo Desktop releases. At least TiVo Desktop still works just fine with my old Series 2s. 4. Shows transferred from other Premiere XL can't be set to "Keep Until I Delete" - I transferred most all of my shows from my Premiere XL and some won't accept "Keep Until I Delete" no matter how many times I try. No idea why. 5. Shows transferred from Series 2 will jump when fast forwarding - I transferred a show from my Series 2. While fast forwarding a 60 minute show the TiVo suddenly jumped from 8 minutes to 53 minutes for no reason. I hope fixes for all of these issues are in the works. At least for all of the software issues, I suspect there isn't a fix for the IR issue.

Why is Jessica Simpson flogging Intimates?
A dearth of fashion news this week (we can only assume everyone's taking a break before fashion week madness begins) leads us once again in a downward direction. Last week it was control underwear for men; this week, brand Simpson is getting in on the act. You might think these topics are unrelated, but you'd be wrong. See, they're both pants …
We know Jessica is an easy target, but we were never ones to insist on doing things the hard way. Back in May, Jessica (or more likely her dad, Joe I-plan-to-squeeze-as-much-as-possible-out-of-my-daughter Simpson) joined the same clique as the Pussycat Dolls, Dita von Teese and Peaches Geldof. She signed a deal with Van Dale Industries, an underwear manufacturer, to launch her own lingerie collection.
All well and good, you might think: since when did having absolutely no design credentials stop celebrities from cashing in on something they know nothing about?
However, then we discovered the name of this new underwear range: Intimates. Which clever dick came up with that? As well as sounding like a 'feminine hygiene' product, it is also the exact same name as Elle Macpherson's hugely successful range of lingerie.
So is this just a cunning trick to lure Elle's customers over, or is there something else to it? Maybe the answer to this question lies in Jessica's response to an inquiry from WWD magazine:
WWD: How would you describe the signature look of Jessica Simpson Intimates when it comes to your personality?
JS: My intimates are feminine and sweet with a hint of fun.
We don't want to delve too closely into exactly what Jess means by this, but we can't help wondering if the girl just likes airing her dirty laundry in public.
One shoulder
This week, work some 80s magic on your wardrobe with an asymmetric silhouette, as seen on the autumn/winter catwalks at Chloe, Herve Leger, Oscar De La Renta and Ungaro. This look is surprisingly versatile and comes in all shapes and sizes. Go body conscious with stretch fabrics and panelling, or try sleeveless bright cotton prints for a perfect summertime look. For evening, big, bold and glamorous is the way to do it, with bright colours and chunky accessories.
We cannot condone the heinous bodysuit, but be warned, the one-shoulder version has returned from the wardrobe in the sky with a vengeance. Avoid at all cost and loudly berate your friends in public if you spot them wearing one. That'll learn 'em. Just so you know what to watch out for we've found two high street examples. This Peacocks version is a (cough) bargain at £12, and has a diagonal black and gold stripe, or there's this colourful, geometric-patterned one from Topshop for £22.
For an infinitely more sophisticated (and a lot less uncomfortable) look, go bold and decadent with Emanuel Ungaro's striking teal suede dress. Mind you, it costs a whopping £3,125 so looking is probably all you'll be doing.
Disco queens among you - and fans of the film Splash - should slip into a silver sequin mini by Ashish (£525) and emerge like a mermaid sans tail on to the dancefloor. Warehouse has a one-shoulder belted dress in mauve that could almost double as office wear for £55.
Then there's French Connection's short-sleeved, girly dress, which comes in a vivid scarlet and makes us think of something Diane Kruger would wear on the red carpet. At £80, it's not too bad a price. For floral fans we've found a dress from Topshop for £50 that will be great for those last days of summer. And for those who prefer a fiercer look, we've found a tiger-print one for £22.
Big bows are still in. Julien MacDonald has designed a leopard-print dress for £60 with a bow over the shoulder for Debenhams. If the nautical look is more your style, New Look has a simple striped navy dress with one long sleeve for £18. Finally, another body-con look from Miss Selfridge comes in at a bargain-tastic £32 and also indulges in a spot of colour blocking.
Elle Macpherson
The perfect outfit to show off The Body's tanned (stay away from the sunbeds, Elle!) and toned physique, the model/actor/underwear industry giant (take note, Jessica Simpson) appeared at a posh television do in the USA wearing a bandage dress by Herve Leger. However, what really caught our eye was her fabulous footwear. A golden, glittering mosaic laid out upon a shoe. Sigh. We can but dream.
"If you have a really strong sense of style and people want to aspire to being like you, I can understand that, but if you really are doing it just because you think of yourself as a brand and you haven't had the training and you know nothing about clothes, it kind of demeans all the training that designers have had."
Hussein Chalayan speaks his mind on models turned designers.
Donna Karan
Dear, dear Donna. What happened? You seem to have woken up this morning and, perhaps still in a dream-like state, donned a white jumpsuit and bumbag. In your befuddled mind it was 1990, a time when these garments were in fashion (and by 'in fashion' we mean 'acceptable for the kind of person who enjoys bus tours of European cities').
Or maybe it was just the practical element of holding up your unzipped jumpsuit (yes, we know those things are a bugger to go to the loo in) with a belt that could double as a purse. We shall never know as, alas, we are not attuned to the inner workings of your mind.
Quintessential preppy US clothing label Gant has just launched its very own website, gantuk.com, where you can buy its clothing for autumn. With gorgeous soft, natural fabrics and quality tailoring, shop here to get classic wardrobe staples and comfortable office wear.
News for the rich and famous from Gucci: the luxury label is launching a travelling pop-up shop for its sneaker division, which will come to London later this year. Appearing in New York's SoHo on October 23, the shop will then pop up in London, Berlin, Paris, Hong Kong and Tokyo. The stores will have a (not very) catchy name, Gucci Icon-Temporary, and will feature 18 exclusive sneaker styles - 16 for men and two for women. Which seems rather gender biased to us …

Well, if you're looking for inspiration get yourself along to Edinburgh's Filmhouse, where they're showcasing a series of amazing films from the British New Wave movement. Capturing working-class life in the 50s and 60s, the films provide a fascinating glimpse into the lives of ordinary people.

Tibet Shoton Festival 2011
I attended the Shoton festival on two occasions. Shoton is the transliteration of two Tibetan words which mean 'Yoghurt Banquet'. The festival originated at Drepung Monastery, as a celebration to mark the end of the monks' Yarné, their hundred day summer retreat. It begins on the new moon marking the end of the sixth Tibetan month. It includes performances of the musical dance dramas known as Ache Lhamo (Tibetan Opera).
Families from all over Tibet gather in the valleys to celebrate this most important event. Wealthy families erect tents that resemble a spacious living area. I had the pleasure of being invited into many tents as a guest.
Food will be served to the visitor, Tibetan Tea with salt. Against all wrong impressions, I must say that I saw Tibetan families with noticable wealth. Many Tibetan folks ride down from high mountain dwellings to attend the Shoton.
In other parts of Tibet the dances are part of the harvest festival, and yoghurt would be served at the feast which followed. The Ache Lhamo dances are attributed to Thangtong Gyalpo, also known as Chaksampa, a lama of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, also famous for building iron chain bridges in many parts of Tibet.
The popularity of this festival was such that the government decreed it an annual event of a further five days, established at the Norbulingka. There are performances by all the established companies from throughout Tibet, some of which can perform the whole Lhamo repertoire, and some who specialize in one particular drama.
Some of the stories are derived from Indian Buddhist legends, while others relate incidents in Tibetan history. Shoton Festival: Ache Lhamo performance at the Norbulingka
During the festival all the residents of Lhasa go out and gather in the Norbulingka Park. They set up beautiful tents and hang curtains there. They bring cakes, sweets, dairy products, yak-butter tea and have wonderful picnics. Professional and amateur Tibetan opera troupes gather in the Norbulingka Park and perform various Tibetan operas.

The 2004 festival has three months left to pull together a festival program that will reassure audiences and backers that the exclusive minority focus given to the controversial 2002 event was a temporary distraction.
Page last month announced some highlights of the program, including the British-based contemporary dance company Forced Entertainment and the Ballet Nacional de Espana.
Notably absent from the 2004 line-up is the former Adelaide Festival stalwart Telstra.
Under the former artistic director Robyn Archer, it was a naming rights sponsor and a prominent part of successive festivals. Tensions surrounding Sellars' 2002 festival, including Telstra's anger over Sellars' inclusion of Hitler in its advertisements - the ads were withdrawn after Telstra threatened it would - appear to have cooled that relationship, at least for now.
Bogle said yesterday the dialogue with Telstra was continuing, although the pre-eminent sponsorship position had been filled.
"We are still hoping Telstra will come in at a different sponsorship level," Bogle said.
With box-office targets and other financial considerations still fluid, the programming budget for 2004 is expected to be $10 million to $12 million.

The 2011 football season was another good one for Roane County, and now the postseason awards are starting to roll in.
Fans of high school basketball wishing to see a lot of games this week need to go no farther than Harriman High School or Midway High School as both schools will be holding holiday basketball action.
With points being hard to come by and an uncharacteristic off-night from many of Oliver Springs' main scoring contributors, others were needed to step up.
Christmas Day might not be until Sunday, but the Midway Green Wave and Lady Waves picked up a nice gift heading into the holidays as both teams knocked off Harriman Tuesday night in a District 3-A showdown.
The Rockwood Middle School Tigers ran their two-year long winning streak to 37 games over the weekend with a pair of wins at a holiday classic in Murfreesboro.
The Midway Green Wave and Oakdale Eagles completed their season series Friday night and as it turned out, not a lot changed since their first meeting on Nov. 25.
Wednesday, Dec. 28
11:30 Rhea County vs. Oneida (Girls)
1:00 Sunbright vs. Meigs County (Boys)
2:30 Clarkrange vs. Wartburg (Boys)

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Police say a University of Florida offensive lineman has been charged with stealing a scooter. Campus police say redshirt freshman Jessamen Dunker was arrested Wednesday and charged with vehicle theft, a third-degree felony. They say he also was charged with driving with a suspended license. Maj. Brad Barber says an officer observed Dunker tailgating a campus maintenance truck Wednesday morning. After seeing that Dunker's scooter didn't have a license plate, the officer pulled him over. During the stop, the officer learned that Dunker's license was suspended and the scooter had been reported stolen. Dunker was being held in jail with no bail set. It wasn't clear if Dunker had an attorney. UF athletic association spokesman Steve McClain says Coach Will Muschamp is aware of the arrest and will address it when he returns from a recruiting trip.

Keratin Treatment Salon Needed
I am desperate. My hair is very damaged and I can't do anything with it. I want the keratin treatment but can't find a salon that performs this.
I need a salon in northeast TN or southeast KY like Knoxville, Oak Ridge, Maryville, or Chattanooga Tennessee. I could also drive to Corbin, London, or Lexington, Kentucky.
Which is better Coppola or Texeira? Brazilian keratin is not the same, correct? I need something that will significantly improve the condition of my hair. I don't care if it straightens it or not.
Visit the makeupalley hair board. They've discussed these a lot. HTH

GM: Chevrolet Volt Production to Restart Earlier Than Expected Due to Sales Uptick

Chevrolet Volt
(Source: automobilemag.com)
The production halt was expected to last four weeks, but will resume a few days early
After a temporary halt in March, General Motors (GM) has announced that
production of the Chevrolet Volt
will start back up earlier than expected on April 16.
On March 19, GM put a halt on Chevrolet Volt production in order to get rid of some of the older versions of the plug-in electric hybrid and make room for those with the recent battery fix. Also, new Volts with the changes made for the California market are making their way into the inventory.
The production halt was expected to last for four weeks. However, new reports show that Volt production will resume a few days earlier than planned. GM has already started notifying Detroit-Hamtramck plant employees, where the Volt is assembled.
It's a good time to bring Volt production back to life, since it seems that Volt popularity has risen recently. In March, U.S.
Volt sales shot up to 2,289
, which is its best month yet since release. Of that total, 2,129 were sold to retail customers while 160 were sold to fleet customers.
Even former Republican
President George H.W. Bush jumped on the opportunity to buy a Volt
, and gave it to his son, Neil Bush, as a birthday present.
This surge in sales couldn't have come at a better time, either. The Volt had a difficult year throughout much of 2011 and during the beginning of 2012 due to problems with battery fires.
In May 2011, Chevrolet's Volt caught fire three weeks after a side-impact crash test conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The Volt was parked in a NHTSA testing facility in Wisconsin, and was so severe that it ended up catching nearby cars on fire as well. This led to an investigation into the safety of lithium batteries.
Later, in November 2011, NHTSA conducted three more side-impact crash tests on three separate Volts.
Two out of three ended up sparking or catching fire
while the third remained normal.
GM moved quickly, offering loaner vehicles to customers and even buying Volts back from scared owners. In January 2012,
GM recalled 8,000 Volts off the road
as well as another 4,400 for sale in showrooms to fix the batteries. The fix entailed the addition of steel to the plate that protects the EV's T-shaped, 400-pound battery. This aimed to prevent penetration into the battery in case of an auto accident, and would stop both coolant from leaking and would evenly distribute the force of a crash.
The investigation placed a
bad image on the Volt
for awhile. Customers were afraid to purchase it, and
dealerships wanted nothing to do with it
since it wasn't selling.
Sales plunged
in January 2012 with only 603 Volts sold.
But it looks as if the Volt's luck is turning around, with March sales at its best and an early production start beginning in 10 days.
"It seems like we've sustained ourselves through this difficult period," said Dan Akerson, GM CEO. "We hope to get up to 3,000 plus in the coming months and are certainly positioning it."
According to Mark Reuss, president of GM North America, the Volt made a comeback because people are beginning to get to know the car well and understand how it works.
"We're matching production with demand," said Reuss.
