I guess I haven't been paying enough attention to Hulu lately, because the company sent out a press release and a blog post outlining its original and exclusive content for 2013 and I was really surprised by how much of it there is. I figured if I was unaware of all this potentially good TV viewing, some of you might be as well, so I thought I'd share.
[When Netflix goes down: streaming video alternatives and Cut the cord: 13 set-top media streamers]
First up is 10-episode animated super-hero series, "The Awesomes" by Saturday Night Live head writer Seth Meyers and SNL alum Michael Shoemaker. It's about what goes on in a super hero group after all the good members quit. Needless to say, it's a comedy.
Next is "The Wrong Mans" produced by Hulu in partnership with the BBC. This is a 6-episode dark comedy/thriller starring James Corden ("Gavin and Stacey") and Mathew Baynton ("Spy"). It's about a couple of office workers who unwittingly get caught up in a criminal conspiracy. Misunderstandings pile up, fingers are pointed and hijinks ensue. It'll air on the BBC in Great Britain but you'll only see it on Hulu in the States.
Last up is "Behind the Mask," a documentary series about sports mascots. It features the performers behind mascots, one each from the high school, college, minor league and professional levels. Ever wondered what it's like to be a mascot? This 10-episode series will give you an idea.
In addition to these Original Series, Hulu will be offering half a dozen Exclusive Series: "Mother Up!," "Braquo," "Prisoners of War," "Fresh Meat," "Pramface" and "The Only Way is Essex." (Exclusive Series are shows that Hulu didn't help create, but that will only appear on Hulu in the US.) That's a decent amount of original content and I'll include Hulu's descriptions and scheduling info from the press release below so you can learn more about these shows. Interestingly, Hulu seems to follow a traditional TV schedule with its original content, rolling out a new episode every week. In contrast when Netflix has an original series it just releases a whole season at once. As a 'binge viewer' I have to admit I prefer Netflix's system (I tend to store up a bunch of TV episodes on the DVR then watch them back-to-back) but then Netflix doesn't have advertisers to please. On the other hand, Netflix also doesn't have nearly as many original shows. (Off hand I can think of "Lilyhammer," "House of Cards," and the new season of "Arrested Development.") Speaking of Hulu and ads, you should start seeing fewer of them according to a post on The Verge which quotes Hulu's VP of content Andy Forssell as saying the company is reducing the number of ads based on viewer feedback. All of these shows will be available both on the free Hulu.com website and on subscription-based Hulu Plus on devices. With the stagnation of the major networks on broadcast TV, I couldn't be more pleased to see Hulu providing us with alternatives to cable. Anyway here're the show descriptions from Hulu: HULU ORIGINAL SERIES "The Awesomes" Premieres: Summer 2013 "The Awesomes" is an animated show for adults that combines the thrills of comic book storytelling with the irreverent and inspired comedy that is the hallmark of show co-creators Seth Meyers ("SNL") and Michael Shoemaker ("Late Night with Jimmy Fallon"). It is the story of the greatest superhero team in history, The Awesomes, and what happens after all the most powerful members leave. The team is led by the possibly under-qualified Professor Doctor Awesome, voiced by Meyers, who is determined to bring these funny-if-flawed superheroes to glory. Meyers and Shoemaker called upon their many friends in the comedy world to voice the characters, including some of "Saturday Night Live's" most celebrated cast and alumni Kenan Thompson, Bill Hader, and Taran Killam. This first animated Hulu Original Series is executive produced by Meyers, Shoemaker, and Broadway Video. Ten (10) episodes. http://www.hulu.com/the-awesomes "The Wrong Mans" For fans of: "Spy," "The Office" (U.K.), "Peep Show," "Hot Fuzz," "Chuck" Premieres: Summer 2013 From Tony Award-winning actor and writer James Corden ("Doctor Who," "Gulliver's Travels," "Gavin & Stacey") and Mathew Baynton ("Peep Show," "Spy," "Gavin & Stacey"), the series centers on Sam (Baynton), and Phil (Corden), two lowly office workers who become caught up in a deadly criminal conspiracy after Sam discovers a ringing phone at the scene of a horrific car crash. Answering this phone turns his world upside down, as he and Phil soon realize it's up to them to step up and save the day. They are in the wrong place at the wrong time, with the wrong skills. They are The Wrong Mans. Hulu's second co-production with BBC brokered by BBC Worldwide Americas, the series is directed and produced by Jim Field Smith ("Episodes," "Butter," "She's Out of My League").

Through the eyes of four dedicated performers at the high school, college, minor league and NBA pro levels, "Behind the Mask" takes an authentic look at the sports world's most unsung heroes. Funny, entertaining, and at times poignant, this show tells the moving stories of these real-life Clark Kents, capturing their highs and lows, both inside and outside the suit. "Behind the Mask" is created by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Josh Greenbaum and produced by Occupant Entertainment ("Better Living Through Chemistry," "The Wackness"). Ten (10) episodes. http://www.hulu.com/behind-the-mask HULU EXCLUSIVE SERIES "Fresh Meat" (Season Two) For fans of: "Misfits," "The Inbetweeners" (U.K. & U.S.), "Skins" (U.K. & U.S.), "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," "Coupling," "The Real World," "Greek" and "Peep Show" Premieres: January 13, 2013 New episodes premiere every Sunday beginning on January 13th; All episodes will be available on Hulu and Hulu Plus beginning March 3rd "Fresh Meat" is a BAFTA-nominated comedy drama series about the hilarious and painful truths of being a student from Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong ("Peep Show").

The six housemates return to their shared house for the rest of their first year as students with more awkward moments, reinventions and appalling behavior.

Determined to clear his name they start an investigation of their own, only to find that the police department itself stands in their way. Driven by adrenaline and a thirst for justice, they must turn their backs on the laws they're sworn to enforce if they are to uncover the truth.

Just like normal first time parents they're tired, anxious, broke, and tetchy. But, unlike most other couples, they don't know how they feel about each other. In fact, they're not even sure if they're a couple or just two people who happen to have had a baby. Jamie, still reeling from the birth, is finding it difficult to cope. His current plan is to just hang in there and hope everything somehow works out. But he's struggling with other areas of this life; work, school, and even just hanging out with his mates - he's finding nothing's quite the same once you have a child. Meanwhile, Laura's got all the new mother worries. She's looking after a newborn and occasionally a teenage boy, whilst trying to find a career and new friends, not to mention trying to hold on to her old ones. It's said a new baby brings people together, and that's certainly true here - it's brought them together and now they're falling out. With Christenings, college balls, eighteenth birthday mayhem, drugs, disastrous dating, strippers, interfering relatives, and nappy rash to deal with, the only certainty is things aren't going to get easier any time.

Sewage Pump Installation
I'm installing a sewage pump and I'm undecided as to whether I should put sealer on the threads that screw down into the vent outlet on the pump. This threaded fitting is glued to the vent pipe. If I am to ever remove the lid on the basin, I would need to remove this pipe so that I can pull the lid completely off and get to the pump. If this is sealed (at the threads) then I may need to cut the vent pipe or pull the pipe/lid up at the same time which may be tough. Anyone have suggestions?
Another related question: do I need to mount the pump to anything at the bottom of the basin? It's pretty heavy but my concern is that when it spins to pump it will turn and possibly break the exit pipe. What prevents this spin that would counteract the pump spin?
Your going to want to seal that bad boy, it's going to get smelly in there and you really don't want the wonderful fragrance floating throughout the house. The sewage ejectors I am familiar with have a removeable lid on a portion of the top thus allowing the vent pipe to not being effected by service to the motor, if such is not the case then should service be required you can simply cut the vent pipe and install a coupler at that time or use a union.
You do not need to mount the pump on anything just make sure the floats are free and clear of any obstructions down there, again, once that lid is on and sealed you really don't want to open it, it's not pretty in there after the first 'major' use.
Don't forget to use ALL the required parts on the drain side...Backflow Preventor, Union, Gate Valve.
I'm definitely going to seal it. It's confusing to me why the book says to "be sure to cut the exit pipe close to the lid for easy access" when I would have to cut the pipe itself to get to it if it were close to the lid whereas I could leave some room there and just pull the lid straight up and access if needed. I guess I can pop the lid up the rotate it around away from the hole to access the pump rather than cutting the pipe. Yes, I have a combination Check valve and Ball shutoff valve at the exit.

Seniors making final appearance at Hughes Stadium
Nov. 21, 2012
by Gary Ozzello
For the final time in their collegiate football careers, 15 Colorado State seniors will suit up in green-and-gold Rams uniforms Saturday for the 2012 season finale.
Colorado State plays host to New Mexico at 5 p.m. Saturday to end the season. When the game takes place, Coach Jim McElwain and the athletics department will honor the seniors and their families during pregame ceremonies.
"These players have meant a great deal to our program," McElwain said. "They have been important to lay the foundation for what we want to accomplish moving forward. They are a special group, and a group that I will always remember as my first group as a head coach."
The list of seniors runs the gamut, from former walk-on quarterback M.J. McPeek, who has started three games this season, to Pete Kontodiakos, who ranks among the nation's leaders in punting.
From Austin Gillmore, another former walk-on who joined his brother Crockett at Colorado State, to Davis Burl, whose grandfather was one of the most legendary student-athletes in school history.
Lineman Joe Caprioglio is a three-year starter for the Rams and has anchored the offensive line. Wide receiver Marquise Law has come into his own as a senior at Colorado State. Defensive backs Immanuel Mitchell and Marcus Shaw have seen playing time in the secondary, while teammate Momo Thomas was a four-year starter at cornerback and as a return specialist.
Defensive end Broderick Sargent was the first recipient of the Keli McGregor Award for leadership, integrity and athletic and academic excellence, and plays his final game Saturday.
Since McElwain's arrival at Colorado State last winter, linebacker James Skelton has emerged as a team leader, though he'll miss Saturday's finale with an ankle injury, as will Thomas. Running back Mark Woodbury has been a solid special teams performer and backup for the Rams, while Dominque Vinson has played both wide receiver and defensive back in his career.
Defensive lineman Zach Tiedgen is a two-year letterwinner who has been a starter during his career, and has overcome an early-season injury to finish his final season in a key role on the line.
Saturday's game also closes the career for defensive lineman Lanston Tanyi, who transferred to Colorado State after having completed his eligibility at Applachian State, and is currently working on a graduate degree.

I think the last z is coloured red because you are returning an
expression involving a local variable:
In[2]:= foo[a,b]
Out[2]= {a^b,Hold[a^z$6385],a^z$6385}
Notice the strange variable z$6385 - which is local. I can't see why the
middle term isn't red as well, but the left term evaluates to something
that doesn't involve a local variable.
Perhaps you really wanted to write this:
foo[x_, v_] := Module[{z = v},
{x^z, Hold[Evaluate[x^z]], HoldForm[Evaluate[x^z]]}
In[4]:= foo[a,b]
Out[4]= {a^b,Hold[a^b],a^b}

if youre thinking about juvederm as a lip injectable i strongly recommend. i had been injected about 3 times and noticed that it pretty much dissapated after 6 months, and even more quickly in my top lip. The last time i went i had the majority placed in the top lip because, like i said, it went away more quickly than the bottom (which was already naturally plump). Recently, I have noticed my top lip has LOOKED like ive got injected but i havent done it in over 6 months. I have read that the injection of hylauranic acid stimulates natural cell rejengeration and ive got to say, i can tell a difference. Although initially i invested quite a bit of money, the results are worth it. Now theyre plump (enough) and natural and i have an extra 550 every 6 months more in my pocket. Im sure results vary from person to person and if youre lookin for the "trout pout" i doubt youll get the permanant results youre looking for, but ultimately its done wonders for my self esteem!
If youre thinking about juvederm as a lip...

Hi Everyone,
Newbie here. I am looking to start microstock as a way to share some of my better images with the world and hopefully make a little money with it. Nothing huge, just a bit of side cash if I'm lucky, without the hassle of tracking a whole bunch of sites all together. Ugh.
To that end, I'm looking for a place to sell exclusively at where I get a good rate. PhotoDune seems to fit that to a T.
However, I'm the type that likes to think ahead and I wondered…what happens if my images become very popular? Might there be a point later on down the road where I'd want to branch out into other microstock sites? I don't know right now, but what if…?
So I wanted to ask, is it possible to change your exclusivity setting later on? Or is your account locked into that first choice? What about individual images? If I have an image that goes gangbusters, would I have the option of making just that image non-exclusive down the road?
Hi Cuzsis
Yes, you can change from exclusive to non_exclusive in your 'settings/exclusivity of your items' part of your profile. Alternitively, you could have two profiles as a I do, one for exclusive items and one for items that you also sell elsewhere.
I'm just trying out at selling in a few other places and have had mixed resilts so far. Good luck with sales!
I'm not sure exclusive at PhotoDune is a good idea…
@JRChild: Awesome thank you!
@pzUH: I'm just trying to keep things simple right now, I don't want to have to be bouncing between sites and uploading a bunch of pictures and trying to keep track of it all. I'm pretty busy with my job and family, so I thought'd I'd start with just one site. Sounds like if it takes off I can change it up and that's all I'm looking for!

You don't state how old your cat is. If she is an old cat (12 years or older), she may be getting senile. If she is a younger cat, I would be concerned as to why the sudden vocalization. In any event, regardless of kitty's age, I would take her to the vet for an evaluation and diagnosis. Hopefully, she's okay.

I (thomas the cat) do this in the middle of the night. It could mean she's scared, nervous, or anxious. It could mean she wants more attention, or she is trying to tell you something is wrong.
Thomas answered on 8/6/12. Helpful? / 0
First you have to detect what kind of meow it is?? Is it a distress call, a lovey meow, a hungry meow, a meow demanding attention? More importantly cats only meow to communicate with us humans. They talk to each other through body language. Learn your cats body language and you wont have to distinguish his/hers "meow type". Cats only meow because we dont communicate through body language to them. They meow as a convenience to us, as they sense we communicate through voice, so many will adapt and become overly noisy.. Like my cats. Token meows and meow and meows and meows about everything. every meow is barely different but I know his body language. I know when he wants brushed, fed, snacked, pet, messaged, his bed time story, etc etc. Cats love routines and they do not want them or your routine to be broken, remember that!! Cats often are silent when they are young and develop a voice when they get older as well or vice versa. contact me for further inquiry. K. MEOW so

Gable ladder (fly) rafters, or lookouts
Whatever name you prefer, I have a question on how far they are allowed to extend out vs how far they extend back into the attic. I am of the understanding that the ratio is 1:1. A "normal" gable end stick-out is often 2', so the first truss, to which said ladder rafters abutt, should be inset 2' from the gable truss. It is my understanding that this "balance" will prevent lifting of the first truss if, say, the ladder rafters instead stuck out 4' and back in only 2'. (Gable truss is the fulcrum.) If 1:1 is the recommended ratio, how far can you push that if you assume a 30-40 psf snow load? 1.5 out to 1 in? 2 out to 1 in? We will assume that the supporting member (fly/ladder rafter) is strong enough to hold the load. All I am concerned about is the ratio of stick-out to stick-in. Thanks.
Unfortunately, I don't think code gives specific guidance for lookouts.
The rule of thumb ratio for cantilevering is 2:1, but for rafter lookouts, you typically you just go back to first common rafter (assuming it's at normal spacing from gable wall). Typically, lookouts don't extend more than 2', and I would caution against exceeding that. If you're going 2' and with that much snowload, I would do so only with 24" OC rafter spacing, and install the lookouts on edge, not flat. That latter, however, requires the gable rafter/truss to be sized accordingly (3-1/2" below common rafters profile).
If you can't install the lookouts on edge, I'd stick with 1' max overhang.
Code, believe it or not, allows 2x4, 24" OC, to stick out 2' even if the 2x4 is flat. That does not rest well w/ me, but the truss guy said it is acceptable. I have no use for a 2x4 on its side. I used 7' x 2 x 6 on my shop, sticking out 3', 2x6 on edge, and a drop gable and drop first truss. That is apparently good for 4'. I am nervous about exceeding 1:1 on the stick-out vs stick-in, but I hear a "little fudging" is OK. Dunno. Thanks for the opinions.
i erred when i said code, to be brief. the truss guy, in agreement w/ a few others who build, is what i meant by "code". sorry about that. thanks for looking it up. j
Check for local rules in addition to the IBC you follow. Certain areas are stricter for snow, high wind, etc.; e.g.- R4506.7; http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j..._SJBt4rFbCfdFg
very good info gary, thanks.

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - The Palestinian Authority today published a letter from the United States stating that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak would carry out further redeployments from disputed lands even if a framework for permanent status talks is not reached.
The letter, signed by US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, was presented to Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat in the context of last week's signing of the Sharm el-Sheik or Wye II agreement.
The letter also reiterated President Bill Clinton's view that further settlement in the West Bank by Israel is detrimental to the peace process, and that the US supports Palestinian aspirations to determine their own future in their own land.
The Sharm el-Sheik agreement, signed in Egypt Saturday by Barak and Arafat in the presence of Albright and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, was approved by the Israeli Cabinet on a vote of 21-2 Sunday, though it is due to be debated by a special Knesset session on Wednesday, when it must receive final approval.
The PA cabinet approved the agreement Monday, saying that it "reiterates its full commitment to signed agreements."
Speaking from the presidential retreat at Camp David, Maryland, Clinton said the agreement represented a "wonderful opportunity to move the peace process forward."
Clinton acknowledged that there would be "much hard work ahead for all of us," and called on Congress to be forthcoming with the funds needed to fulfill US promises to "minimize the risks of peace," and "lift the lives of the Palestinians."
Among other things, the Sharm el-Sheik agreement aims to quickly restart 'permanent status' negotiations and conclude a "comprehensive agreement" on all permanent status issues within one year of resuming those talks, with a target date of September 13, 2000. Those issues include the status of Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees, settlements and permanent borders.
On another matter that had threatened to stall negotiations, the agreement calls for the release this month of 200 Palestinian "security prisoners" held by Israel, with another 150 to be released in a second stage next month.
The prisoners to be released would be agreed upon by a joint Palestinian - Israeli committee, which will also try to come up with a third list of prisoners to be released before the next Islamic holiday of Ramadan.
The new agreement also commits Israel to the opening of safe passage routes for Palestinians and permits the construction of a Gaza seaport by October.
Regarding security, the Palestinians pledged to continue the collection of illegal weapons and apprehension of those suspected of committing terrorist attacks.
Another immediate commitment for Israel is the transfer of land from Israel to the Palestinian Authority. Israel is due to hand over seven percent of what is popularly called the West Bank - what Israelis know as Judea and Samaria - to Palestinian municipal control, while Israel will maintain security in the area.
Barak said that it was "difficult" and "painful" for Israelis to separate from parts of the "Land of Israel." In a statement released after the signing, Barak said he has "emotional connections (to the land), which stem from both the power of our history and the fact that Israelis - under the aegis of successive governments - have invested their lives and dreams in settling the land, which has public, emotional and security significance."
Barak added that he is certain the "political process will strengthen the long-term security of the State of Israel and its citizens."
But Yehudit Tayar, spokesperson for Yesha Council of Jewish Communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, disagreed that the plan will strengthen Israel's security. She told CNSNews.com that although this phased pullback is not likely to affect Jewish settlers in the area, she predicted that in the "long run everything (including all of Israel) will be affected."
According to Tayar, two-thirds of Israel's water supply lies in the region and military convoys use the area for travel. It also contains the mountaintops on which Israel's early warning systems are situated.

Yesterday, BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY) announced its solution to the dearth of apps in the BlackBerry App World: Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Android Appstore will bring thousands of apps to BlackBerry 10 phones this fall. And today, BlackBerry CEO John Chen revealed the Passport, the company's next smartphone.
GigaOM reports that Chen revealed the Passport during the company's quarterly earnings call, which showed that 1.6 million handsets were sold, versus 1.3 million in the previous quarter. The company's adjusted gross margins also rose from 43 percent to 48 percent. The Passport is reportedly the previously-leaked "Windermere" device, aptly named the Passport given its width. The bottom of the device features a keyboard, which has remained a draw for BlackBerry devotees. The phone will officially launch at a London event in September.
BlackBerry's partnership with Amazon addresses one of consumers' major objections to the BlackBerry platform — that there aren't enough apps available for the company's phones. The partnership gives BlackBerry a fast solution to the problem, and also allows the company to focus its development team on software, security features, and productivity tools that appeal to the corporate and federal market the company focuses on as it tries to regain market share.
"You want apps? We've got apps!" states a post on BlackBerry's blog, announcing that the licensing agreement will bring about 200,000 apps to its platform – The Wall Street Journal puts the number at 240,000 — with the launch of the BlackBerry 10.3 operating system later this year.

Boxing Australia has stopped bouts after the sport's local organisers banned protective headguards for top-level boxers. But amateur boxers may still be forced to fight, without injury insurance.
Boxing Australia's insurance policy - underwritten by insurance giant OAMPS - states that boxers who compete without protective headgear are not covered.
But, under new regulations adopted by Boxing Australia in line with global rules, elite-level boxers will now be barred from wearing the headgear - leaving them to choose between being insured or wearing headguards in bouts that won't be officially recognised.
The rule changes banning headguards and introducing new, larger 12-ounce gloves were brought in by the International Boxing Association (AIBA) and came into effect this month. AIBA hopes this will make amateur boxing more appealing on television, as it seeks to launch its own semi-professional competition.
But officials are concerned the move will deter future competitors from signing up to the sport.
National boxing coach Don Abnett said amateur boxers should wear headguards at all levels. ''These are young men who are still developing and learning their ringcraft,'' Mr Abnett said. ''We have done great work encouraging young people into boxing over the past few years, but seeing kids bleed from head clashes is not a good look. I worry it might put some mums and dads off letting their kids enter the sport.''
Promising Australian heavyweight Jason Whateley says he's willing to fight without insurance if needed, as he chases his dream of going to the Olympic Games. ''If they're the rules, then I guess I have to get in the ring,'' said the 22-year-old. ''I'll do whatever it takes.''
Fairfax Media has been told two elite bouts have taken place in Queensland without protective headgear. Fights in NSW and Victoria have been cancelled due to confusion over the rules.
''The insurance policy we have states that boxers who compete without headguards are not covered,'' said Boxing Australia chairman Ted Tanner. ''We are in the process of renegotiating that policy, but until that is done we are not encouraging any elite-level bouts to take place without headgear.
''If any state bodies have gone ahead and conducted bouts without headgear, then we would like the details of those, because the new larger gloves have not yet been ratified for use in Australia.''
The president of the Australian Medical Association Victoria, Stephen Parnis, condemned the ban.

Submitted to: Agroforestry Systems
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 1/16/2011
Publication Date: 2/3/2011
Citation: Kremer, R.J., Kussman, R.D. 2011. Soil quality in a pecan – Kura clover alley cropping system in the midwestern USA. Agroforestry Systems. 83(2):213-223. Interpretive Summary: Soil conservation and soil quality maintenance are important considerations during the establishment and early growth of tree crops. Tree plantations or orchards are often established using an agroforestry practice, which is a multiple cropping system that involves simultaneous production of tree and agricultural crops. The type of management used in cropping the alleys between tree rows is critical because many agricultural practices may affect several soil properties that contribute to overall soil quality. Thus, soil disturbance associated with tillage within alleys of agroforestry systems could lead to erosion and degradation of soil quality. A recently established pecan orchard on fertile, wind-deposited (loess) soils of a hilly landscape bordering the Missouri River that was intercropped with a perennial legume (kura clover) was assessed for selected soil quality properties. The site was previously used to grow corn and soybeans followed by hay and pasture when pecans were planted in rows and kura clover was seeded in the alleys. Soils were collected according to landscape position during 2002 through 2009 for analyses of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), soil aggregation, and for biological processes involved in cycling of C and N in the soil environment. Soil organic C (the main component of soil organic matter necessary for multiple functions in soil); aggregate stability, necessary for reducing erosion and enhancing water infiltration; and soil shear strength, a measure of resistance to erosion, increased in the kura clover alleys regardless of landscape position (summit, shoulder, or backslope) within eight years after establishment. Microbial enzyme activities, representing soil biological processes, also greatly increased in the in the kura clover alleys by the eighth year. All soil quality measurements were higher than those obtained from annually cropped field and unmanaged grass reference sites near the pecan agroforestry system. Also, kura clover did not interfere with growth of the young pecan trees and has been harvested for haylage (forage for cattle) since 2003 thereby providing a source of income until trees begin producing nuts. The results suggest that the pecan-kura clover agroforestry system has improved overall soil quality and, because tillage was avoided with the perennial stand of kura clover, soil conservation improved since conversion of the site from annual cropping and hay systems. Farmers, extension personnel, state and federal conservation agencies, and other scientists will find the research results applicable because they illustrate how tree crops intercropped with perennial forage or cover crops in an agroforestry system can not only improve soil properties on soils vulnerable to erosion but also provide economic benefits until the tree crop develops harvestable yields.
Technical Abstract: Intercropping alleys in agroforestry provides an income source until the tree crop produces harvestable yields. However, cultivation of annual crops decreases soil organic matter and increases soil erosion potential, especially on sloping landscapes. Perennial crops maintain a continuous soil cover, increase water infiltration, reduce soil erosion, and improve overall soil quality. The objective of this on-farm study was to assess the effects of a perennial legume, kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb.), on soil quality in a recently established pecan (Carya illinoinensis Wangenh. C. Koch) orchard. The pecan-kura clover agroforestry practice was established on deep loess soils of the Missouri River hills landscape. These silt loams are on 2 to 20 percent slopes and can be highly erosive. Kura clover, introduced as the alley crop five years after pecan planting, was selected based on its perennial growth habit, nitrogen-fixing ability, winter hardiness, high forage quality, and soil conservation properties. Kura clover was seeded in 2001 and harvested for hay annually beginning 2003. Soil organic matter and activities of selected soil enzymes increased compared with cultivated and grass pasture control soils by the eighth year of establishment. Water-stable aggregation improved by 50 percent and surface soil shear strength improved significantly (P < 0.05) in alleys compared with control sites. Results illustrate that kura clover as the alley-cropped component improved soil fertility and biological activity through increased organic matter and improved soil structure, and yielded high quality forage valuable for the cattle-feeding operation. Kura clover maintained or improved soil quality, reduced potential soil erosion, and benefited pecan growth by providing a source of soil nitrogen and improving soil structure for adequate water infiltration and aeration.

2013 Friday Night Lights Camp Wrap Up
GAINESVILLE- The Florida Gators annual football camp "Friday Night Lights" has come to a close, with around 200 athletes from all over the country having taken part in the event.
One of those was Christian Alexander, a quarterback from Lakeland Chrisitan, who says there is mutual interest between him and the Gators.
Local standout Kenric Young took part in the evening. He hasn't received an offer from the Gators yet, but is getting attention from other schools.
Quarterback committ Will Grier choose to work out during the camp, even getting a pass in to Gainesville High's Tony James.
Grier says he choose to attend in order to recruit guys who are still on the fence.
One guys who is still on the fence is Byron Cowart out of Tampa.
The defensive end is apart of the 2015 class, but he did get what appeared to be the call upstairs tonight, so an offer is possible.

5 Day Miracle Diet
Adele Puhn says the secret to dieting is timing.Top Rated Diets of 2017
The philosophy of the 5 Day Miracle Diet is to curb cravings by managing blood sugar levels. Once you're able to level-out the blood sugar in your body, you'll no longer have to worry about those energy spikes and lulls - which all too often leave you eating junky food.
The two major contributors to blood sugar spikes are the time of day that you eat and the kind of food you eat. The 5 Day Miracle Diet shows you how to reign in your cravings for unhealthy foods like starch, sugar, caffeine and alcohol. As you eliminate these things from your diet, and frequent trips to the vending machine, you'll start to see fat fade away.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
- You will probably lose weight on this plan.
- You will most likely gain the weight back when you return to foods forbidden by the plan
- Does not promote exercise
On the 5 Day Miracle Diet, a typical day might looks like this:
Breakfast - One serving each of protein and starch, followed two hours later by a hard chew snack. This can be crunchy fruits and vegetables like celery or apples.
Lunch - One serving each of protein and vegetables. Or, two hours after your first snack, enjoy another hard chew snack. You should follow lunch with a hard or soft chew snack, like a high-sugar fruit.
Dinner - Enjoy a serving of protein and vegetables. Every other day you may add a small portion of whole grains, starchy vegetables, potatoes, or beans to your meal.
Adele Puhn, creator of the 5 Day Miracle Diet, outlines hard and fast rules to help achieve your goal. For instance, plan to eat breakfast within 30 minutes of waking, and have lunch no later than 1 p.m. Switch between hard and soft chew snacks at the same time each day. Plan to finish dinner by 7 p.m. at the latest. At no time should you consume yogurt, bananas or bagels. Puhn says the 5 Day Miracle Diet doesn't come easy, but that it is a miracle; worker if you follow the plan.EXERCISE
There is a chapter called Shake That Body that gives you some exercise guidance. Exercise may not be the primary focus of the book, but it is mentioned as a crucial part of any diet program. The 5-Day Miracle Diet does mention that having balanced blood sugar levels will help you feel energized enough to workout. Some of the benefits of exercising with the 5-Day Miracle Diet listed include:
- Jump-start your metabolism
- Keep a steady weight loss
- Helps slow down osteoporosis
- Tone your muscles
- Increases good cholesterol
One of the main recommendations for incorporating exercise into the diet is to do something you love. For those just getting started, walking is a simple recommendation to get you used to exercising. Another possibility is an exercise machine like a treadmill or elliptical. These machines allow you to do other things like watch TV or read while getting your workout in. Also recommended are workout videos which allow you the ultimate level of variety. Additionally, the 5-Day Miracle Diet suggests you mix your toning exercises with aerobic exercises. There are several helpful tips surrounding exercise available in this book. Some of the toning exercises offered include:
- Ballet classes
- Yoga
- Weight resistance machines
- Weight lifting
- T'ai chi
- Stretch classes and exercises
The key to lifelong health is adapting to a lifestyle that you will live with forever. By its very title, you know this is more about short-term goals. It's overly calorie restrictive, and unnecessarily restricts some foods.Common Misspellings

I started it first time
I've read the book, and I've discovered, from what she says about the food plan, that I would not lose weight. I'd be off the diet before noon the first day, because I would feel ravenously hungry. And if I somehow made it through day one without breaking the diet, day two would be even worse.?
She suggests the same crap everyone else does. Rice cakes and turkey? Tasteless sawdust.
Shredded wheat and 1% milk? Tasteless CARDBOARD!
In other words, not a diet I could make work. No way, no how.
This diet helped me lose weight when nothing else could. I found that sugar and flour were addictive for me. I had heard of this many times, as we all have, but didn't believe it until I followed this program. I had no cravings whatsoever. I was able to eat everything I loved: just not all at the same time. If all the other diets didn't work for you, try this one. You owe it to yourself. I learned that I can eat everything I enjoy if I am honest. The blood sugar balance is where it's at for me. I think we all know exercise is healthy for us: the use it or lose it philosophy is as real as blood sugar.
I've had this book for over 10 years. The first time I picked it up, I never put it down until I was finished. As the title states, I lost 5 lbs in the first week. After that, I continued to lose, and it was so easy to follow. We americans in general, eat too much, and don't know what we're eating most of the time. This book gets you thinking about how food effects your mind, and body. The results are stunning.
I used this diet many years ago and it really worked. I eventually went off of it and worked on maintaining my weight with eating high fiber, portion controlled meals along with exercise. While I did not stay on this diet "for life" it did give me the boost I needed.
How do i buy the real deal HCG? hi, im hoping to start the HCG diet but i live in the UK and i know that it can not be bought over here. i want the real deal not crap that doesnt have HCG init. please can you help and advise me of the best sights to but from as there are hundreds claiming to have the real deal. i have tried every diet under the sun and ever diet pill that claims fat loss but i am finding my self getting depressed that nothing has helped. im 22 and 5ft but weigh 200lps, im not far off turning 23 and i want to be sexy like every other woman. please help
Cinch by Cynthia Sass...the 5 day detox menu Is dry roasted almonds okay to eat in the 5day detox? How many is 2tbs. almonds? I could not find fat-free organic yogurt. I got 0 % fat organic plain yogurt is that the same? I could not find organic eggs so purchase egg white substitute is that alright?
I was just wondering is there any way to get just the book for the P.i.n.k method? P.i.n.k method
How long will it take Im 5'3 and i weigh 150 pounds i want to lose 20-40 pounds. I want to know how long it would take to lose tht much. I can keep the weight off if i lose it but i dont want to take anymore than what i need.
This is an amazing diet that promotes whole foods, lean proteins, lots of vegetables, and plenty of water. I exercise A LOT. I have never had a weight problem, but I call myself the Whale Inside, because I have always craved sweets, and sugar, and potatoes, and pasta. I don't allow myself to indulge because when I do, I cannot stop. There are times the cravings have overwhelmed me so horribly that I have ended up eating a whole 1/2 gallon of ice cream by myself. I am filled with so much self-loathing wondering, why can't I control myself. In the meantime, I bike, I run, I lift. I am all of 120 lbs of lean muscle mass. If you looked at me, you would think I didn't have any problem with overeating. So, this book has changed my life by helping me to curb my cravings, stop feeling so tired, and helped me completely lose all the processed foods out of my life. I don't eat a lot of processed foods, but now I eat none. So, I disagree with Sean. Yes, exercise is huge in maintaining that lean muscle mass, but if you are not a person with the Metabolic Mix-Up, you cannot even understand where Adele is coming from. She is the only person who has ever addressed ME, and understood ME. I am a 46 year old Metabolic Mix Up who has felt like the Whale Inside for all these years, while wearing a size 2. So there. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside if on the inside you know your chemistry is screwed up. I want to feel good, inside and out.
I did this diet after my son was born 12 years ago. I worked like magic, and I was never hungry. After I fell "off the wagon" it took me over 5 years to start gaining weight again, probably due to the fact that I had learned to eat well doing this plan. No hunger at all after the first 5 days. Now...I am going to start again. Need to lose just 20 pounds and I know that this plan will refocus me and put the emphasis again on healthy eating. I hope to lose the 20 pounds in a healthy 2 months. I will post again then.
I have tried this diet a few years back, and loved the way it works and the way I felt. I made it my lifestyle, and have been sticking to it from now on. I managed to shed those annoying last 5 kg and keep it off! I think it's the only sound diet plan that humanity have thought of.
There is a good section on exercise, although it's a bit general. But let's not forget this book mostly is about eating right, and if you need a good fitness plan, you should get professional advice or read on fitness.
What no one mentioned in this review, is the section on phychology and emotional eating. This chapter helped me understand the emotions behind my overeating and eating junk.
I loved this diet. This is the only diet book I have ever bought that I tried and it worked. Folks who are negative against it failed to mention that a couple of times a week you get to eat a food you absolutely love. For me this was huge! It is not true that she doesn't mention exercise; there is a whole section of the book on exercise. I walked every day. Also, the year I strayed off, two tragic events happned to me within one year. I started feeding my emotions and simply didn't stop. But I will say this. It took me 2 years to even begin to gain the weight back because this diet was such a good diet metabolically. I am on day 1 now, after 13 years, and really looking forward again to the great energetic feeling I had before.
I started this eating plan the day after my birthday (March 7) when I weighed 221 lbs. I weighed myself on May 2 and I weighed 190 lbs!! This is a fabulous loss of 31 lbs. I feel great, and I have more energy. The hardest part will now be to try and find my maintenance level so I don't gain the weight back, and so I don't lose more weight. I want to stay at 190 lbs.
I almost could not finish reading this article because it was bothering me so much. I am no diet expert or anything, but it doesn't take one to realize that this diet is a terrible thing to promote to the public. We Americans have become obsessed with getting results without hard work.
This diet will no doubt cause you to lose wieght, but its not a diet that the human body can last with. Eventually you will break and gain the wieght on twice as fast. Additionally, this diet does not promote exercise, which is the number one way to lose weight. Having no time to work out is not a good excuse. I am a member of a crossfit affiliate and I workout 3 intense hours a week, thats it. The average american watches 3 hours of TV per day. How messed up is that? haha
I follow two rules to keep myself in shape and healthy. 1) Excercise. I recommend joining a local crossfit gym. Being a crossfitter I am biased, but I say it is the best bang for your buck. It is fun too. 2) Eat! Do not starve yourself. Eat fats and carbs and proteins. Your body needs them all to work right. The key is good fats and carbs. Eat nuts instead of chips, and eggs instead of a bagel with cream cheese. There are many ways to keep your apetite satisfied and body healthy. Google the "primal diet" and take in some of the valuable info it has to offer.
These 2 rules will lead to a very healthy and energized lifestyle. Where as this 5 day "miracle diet" will only leave you hungary and disappointed in the long run.
Also, drink as much water as you can! A hydrated body is a happy body!
Let's see I started the program July 13 2009 My brother had bought me the book and wanted me to read it didn't want me to do the plan but read the book. Once I read the book I decided I could do it. I was obese out of shape and couldn't breathe. In 4 months I had lost 38 Lbs felt wonderful and enjoyed my grandchildren immensely.could actually play with them. Now here it is 6 months in and I have lost a total of 67 lbs. Still on maintenence but much easier than the first 3 months. Everything just comes naturally now as far as eating. I do eat the things I love 1 or 2 times a week, but its great. All of my friends want my book, but I won't give it up, its like a lifesaver to me. With any eating program you have to be ready and you have to want to lose the weight. In 6 months I've only gained 1 Lb during thanksgiving and 3 lbs over Christmas, but they are already gone again. I recommend this program wholeheartedly. Thank You Adele for such a good program. As far as exercise I walked 2 miles a day also. Since November though I am unable to walk from planters facitis, but I bicycle 20 minutes a day now.
For all of you who gave this plan a thumbs down...IT REALLY WORKS!!!! I started the plan and lost 4 lbs the first week and 3 the next. I lost on average 10 lbs per month...I reached my goal in 3 months...sure the 1st 5 daysare a little hard but it is worth it. If I carved anything in the 1st 5 days I chewed sugar free gum. By the 6th day I was in good blood sugar and smooth sailing from then on. I would recommend this to anyone who really wants to lose weight!
I used this diet about 12 years ago after I'd put on an extra 10-15 lbs. I was dating a new guy and wow could he eat! I tried keeping up with him and I succeeded! A friend recommended Adele's diet and I jumped on it. I loaned the book to someone and never got it back. Here I am 12 years later and need to take off another 10-15 pounds I've recently gained. This time I think I'm eating out of boredom. The diet worked great for me back then. I'm hoping to have the same result. It was a little difficult in the beginning to manage my portions and to eat bland food, but I was able to eat what I liked (meat, potatoes, cheese) with a treat at the end of the week. I live alone, so it's easy for me to follow the recipes in the book. I'm sure some things have change in 12 years. I'll soon find out.
I highly recommend this diet.
I tried it 4 years ago and it changed my life for the better. I came off it due to a major change in my life and haven't gone back to it... until now.

What is niche site? – Niche site is a site dedicated to one topic that has around 10000 search requests monthly. Domain name for website is chosen using exact keywords without hyphen. For example if you want to create a site about "Glass table designs" you would check google keyword tool for monthly search requests (results with 50,000 to 10,000 are good), competition (middle scale) and average CPC (cost per click. 1-2 $ is good enough). Then search for that keyword and check for competition on google. If on first page you get very few niche sites two or less then it is good. Then check if domain name preferable Glasstabledesigns.com is available and create content for your niche site.
There are 2 type of business ideas around niche sites.
First method: create hundreds niche sites
Create many niche sites periodically, generally 50-100 websites per month and grow them to 20-50$ per month income level. Reaching to 20$ level is normally 3-4 month. Then sell website or keep and continue earning. This type of sites has about 5 page content and not updated. If you have built say 1000 niche sites earning 20$ per month then you will have 20,000$ per month . To reach this point will take you 15 month on average. Also selling several good performing sites for 1,500-2000$ will bring you additional 5,000-10,000$ per month. An example for this business can be adsenseflippers.com, view October income report. Also check monthly reports by Spancer from nichepursuits.com may 2011 report. Spancer also built some software for keyword research.
Update: this method is no longer valid because google considers more than 100 small sites are not good for visitors and can cause to an invalid activity and results in adsense account banning.
Update 2 (17.10.2012): because this method provides small sites some with low quality google keeps updating their algorithm to punish them. Panda, penguin and Exact match domain (EMD) updates are mostly hitting on this type of niche sites. Some see 69% decrease in traffic and income after google algorithm updates, which will continue and evolve as publishers adapt to them.
Second method: continue building your niche site periodically
By adding relevant content to site monthly or weekly powering your niche topic will bring you additional traffic and grow your adsense income from 20$ per month to 2,000$ and more. To earn this amount it requires 150-300 articles. Articles should be at least 2000 words and relevant your niche. Also sell some affiliate products to your niche. Market content with newsletter subscription, blog content, webinars. Traffic to this type of niche site will grow steady because of additional content. Site will get more not exact targeted keyword traffic as well. Also you can get buyout offer in range of 25,000 or more after a year. An example for this niche site business can be smartpassiveincome.com, view October earnings report of their sites. Also read how one site built and sold for 200.000$.
I prefer second method because it requires less time and effort to grow 10 niche sites than building and managing 1000. And from security of your income second method is more secure than first because it offers more content to readers and keeps site focused and growing. Third thing I like about second business model it earns lot more from affiliate sales, 6,000$ from adsense ads compared to 30,000$ from affiliate sales in October 2011. Also second model will get you more search engine traffic. If you rank #1 on google for your keyword then you get 40% click through, if you have more content then you can get as much or more search engine traffic from other related keywords found on your niche site.
I really like both sites that they share their tactics and experience on how they build niche sites, grow traffic, increase click through rate, ad placements and other tips to increase their income. Niche site building can be considered as lifetime business that can support you and your family leaving you plenty of time enjoy living and earning money without having day job.
More resources that I find useful to get sense of income potential of niche website business: napincome august 2011 income report. I will keep adding to this list as I come across to new income reports. If you want to share your income report from niche site then leave a comment to this post.
In most cases niche websites make %90 income from affiliate sales, and 10% from adsense. So far I am earning from adsense but will experiment with affiliates soon.Related terms: niche topic ideas, website business ideas

I don't think I have to say it, but I'm gonna spoil the hell out of Bioshock Infinite in this blog. You've been warned.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's rare for me to feel truly satisfied after playing a game. I play a lot, and I love it. I play some games for fun; some others for the experience. Some games, I simply play because they're from my many favorite series, like Zelda, Metroid or Castlevania. When I first played Bioshock my mind was blown. I had heard of the game, of how good it was, but because I bought my 360 pretty late, I hadn't had the chance of trying it out.
Bioshock became my favorite shooter pretty much right away. I fell in love with Rapture, it's dark corners, the Plasmids, the Little Sisters and the Big Daddies. It was a very strange experience, but a thrilling one. I started playing Bioshock 2 with the enthusiasm of a child that rips through paper and plastic to uncover the gift he know he's getting; and I did. Bioshock 2 was an amazing sequel. Even though the wonder of the first time you discover rapture was no longer there, the deeper and overall better written story, made up for what the sequel lacked. I devoured Bioshock 2, but still, the first stood tall above all others, and it remained so.... until now.
Yesterday I finally finished playing through Bioshock Infinite, and I have to say, I have a new absolute favorite shooter, and it's gonna be a tough one to beat too. It's not only that this time around our hero actually had a voice, or a more understandable objective, from a humane point of view, although that helped a long way. From the incredible almost hour-long introduction to Columbia's wonders, to the tough-as-hell final battle and ending, the whole game is one incredible experience. The most incredible of all is, of course, the ending. The weirdest part of it, it's not really a very original ending. The tortured-past alcoholic gambler protagonist and the powerful revered antagonist are the same person, and he has to sacrifice himself to prevent the other from ever existing. And if that wasn't enough, they spiced it all up with the long-lost-daughter. Let's face it, for a Science Fiction game, it almost seems a cliché, but it was handled so masterfully, to be revealed to the very end of the game, that the shock at the end felt extremely satisfying, even if it wasn't the most original thing. The beauty of it, is that the way everything is connected, makes sense. Inside the multiverse of Bioshock, it all makes perfect sense. It casts a lot of light into the mystery of Bioshock. It explains how Rapture and Columbia come to pass, it explains how there's always a man, a city and a lighthouse.
One could argue a lot from the ending. That Booker Dewitt is actually Andrew Ryan in other many realities. That Eleanor Lamb is Rapture's Elizabeth, who is interestingly referred to as "the lamb". Many many details like these connect the multiverse that holds Bioshock together. Considering this, there is one thing that worries me very much. If they choose to continue making Bioshock games, which I hope they do, and at the same time hope they don't, they're gonna have the problem that, it might lack the wonder and mystery surrounding everything... I'm not ever going to say "Hey, look! it's a Lighthouse like in the first game!" again, because I already know that secret. If there's another game, I'll know there will be a city, and a man that built it. I hope they make more because I feel like I want more of what I got in this game, but I know that's unlikely. I also hope they don't because I don't think there could be a better ending than this. I think this ending sheds light and resolves the underlying plot in all of Bioshock games: "There's always a Man, there's always a City, there's always a Lighthouse."
Thanks for reading.

US STOCKS-Futures tumble on threat of war in Ukraine
* Russian stock market plunges 14 percent
* Gold stocks rise, tracking the metal's price move
* Futures down: Dow 150 pts, S&P 20 pts, Nasdaq 40 pts
NEW YORK, March 3 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures tumbled on Monday, alongside other risk assets, as Ukraine and Russia mobilized for war with Russian President Vladimir Putin declaring he had the right to invade his neighbor.
* Ukraine's Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said Putin had effectively declared war on his country. Yatseniuk leads a pro-Western government that took power when former president Viktor Yanukovich, a Russian ally, fled on Feb. 21 after three months of street protests against his rule. The United States threatened to isolate Russia economically after Putin's declaration.
* The S&P 500 closed at a record high on Friday, and profit taking was expected on Wall Street due to the political uncertainty.
* Russian stocks and bonds fell sharply and the central bank hiked interest rates to prop up the ruble. The dollar-denominated RTS stock index tumbled 14 percent.
* S&P 500 e-mini futures fell 20 points and were below fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures fell 150 points and Nasdaq 100 futures lost 40 points.
* Front-month futures on the CBOE Volatility Index ticked above the futures two months ahead, indicating market participants were more concerned about the short term reaction to the tension in Ukraine than its implications down the line.
* Gold prices hit a four month high as investors sought safe-haven assets, boosting gold stocks. U.S.-traded AngloGold Ashanti shares gained 5.1 percent in premarket trading.
* Though the focus will likely stay on Ukraine, the economic calendar is full on Monday. Inflation and consumption data is due at 8:30 a.m. EST (1330 GMT), while construction spending in January and the manufacturing ISM for February are expected at 10:00 a.m. (1500 GMT). Markit's final gauge of manufacturing for February is out at 8:58 a.m. (1358 GMT)

This Just In: Secret Video At MSNBC Production Meetings Released
posted at 6:15 pm on May 13, 2013 by Duane Patterson
No, it's not about Benghazi.
Sorry, it's not about the IRS deciding who gets audited depending upon their political persuasions or their religious beliefs.
What is going on inside of MSNBC is the news that Barack Obama's Justice Department, for some inexplicable reason, decided in 2012 that not only was the President's campaign staff concerned about what the media was reporting, but that they opted to secretly wiretap the offices of the Associated Press. Sources close to MSNBC came out of their planning session for how the little-watched network would cover the story.
Erika of course has the full story on the front page, but this leads to a bigger question.
Hugh Hewitt has long called for a select committee on Benghazi, because of the inter-jurisdictional problems of five committees involved that might step on each other. You'd have to think that's almost a certainty now, wouldn't you? With Benghazi, the IRS scandal, and WiretAP now busting out all over, there's nobody in Washington busier than Darrell Issa in the House Governmental Affairs and Oversight Committee. His plate is certainly going to be full. Benghazi deserves its own investigatory committee.
We'll soon see if the other scandals rise to that level.
