"I had two goals: to create beautifully structured wines that reflect the vineyards they come from; and to be involved in every aspect making wine."
Karen's wine career started in 1988, when she marketed Cakebread Cellars wines in Hong Kong and Singapore. A year later, she moved to Napa Valley to oversee the winery's educational, corporate hospitality and international marketing efforts. During that time, she also worked to promote the Napa Valley through her involvement with the Napa Valley Vintners, the non-profit trade organization responsible for promoting and protecting the appellation and its wines. She served on the association's Board of Directors, chaired various marketing committees, served on the steering committee for its annual fundraiser, Auction Napa Valley—the world's largest charity wine auction—and was a co-chair when Cakebread Cellars chaired the Auction in 2006.
Karen started ZIATA in 2008 with two varietals, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, which she chose for their food-friendly qualities. She sourced grapes from sustainable sources, working closely with the grape growers through the growing season, knowing that efforts made in the vineyard would create better wine than those manipulated in the cellar.
In 2009, she added a Cabernet Franc to the portfolio, and in 2010, planted a one-acre Sauvignon Blanc vineyard in her backyard in Calistoga. She remains involved in every aspect of her wine, from vineyard sourcing to harvesting, blending, bottling and selling.
Karen continues to support her community and enjoys volunteering and serving on local boards and committees. ZIATA is a member of the Napa Valley Vintners, and Karen currently serves on the Boards of Directors of the Calistoga Winegrowers and the St. Helena Hospital Foundation.
Beyond ZIATA, living and working abroad fed Karen's sense of adventure and passion for exploring the world, and her journeys—beyond work-related travel—have taken her through many countries including Nepal, Turkey, Mongolia, Africa, and India. She was a founding board member of Elaine Mackie Charitable Trust, which raised money for breast cancer research by trekking mountains around the world, including Mt. Kilimanjaro, with other like-minded Napa Valley women.
And as much as she enjoys exploring the world, Karen's roots are now firmly planted in Calistoga, where she, her lovable Labrador, Neela, and her Sauvignon Blanc vines live.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/5/2014 (1153 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
"What everyone 'on the left' should pay attention to is this: they are saying, 'we would rather have a guy on crack than a Mayor that raises our taxes'." — Rick Mercer on the unexplained popularity of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford.
And they're off!
May 1 is the official start of silly season. Brandon's municipal election campaign is underway, and as I write this week's column we have two confirmed candidates for mayor, in Rick Chrest and Shari Decter Hirst.
Now I've been waiting to write this column for months and make no mistake, it's not just directed at Rick and Shari. In fact its directed to all city councillors, elected members of RMs across the province, it's directed to MLAs and MPs and anyone else who thinks it's a good idea to run for public office. Because as we've seen this past year, politics has changed. Even the politics of four years ago when it was Shari vs. Dave, the landscape has changed. And these changes have left many in politics and the media scratching their heads. And while many will roll their eyes or scrunch their nose at the mention of Rob Ford, heed these words: there are some things Rob Ford can teach us, and for those willing to listen, you might just win because of it.
As the civic election season gets underway, I present the five things Rob Ford can teach those running for office this fall:
Get out in front of a bad story
If something is bad, own it. Get out in front of a camera or microphone and explain yourself the best you can. It may fall flat. You may be embarrassed. You may look like a tool, but voters respect someone who admits they "messed up" and will move on quicker than someone who stays silent during crisis, or worse lies about it. When the news about Rob Ford and his alleged drug use broke, he needed to get to the media right then and there and not weeks and months later. Even locally we've seen mis-steps and gaffs and goofs, that should have been nipped quickly. Say something you shouldn't have? Apologize and explain. Didn't pay your taxes? Apologize and explain. But all this has to be done quick and done publicly. This way you take control and make the whole incident "old news" for those coming late to the party.
Learn to use social media; the real media is not your friend
Traditional media is not interested in your accomplishments or your dreams for the future. They want to be there to take the picture when you fumble the football. You get to introduce yourself, but then they want controversy, conflict and drama. And I should change the "they" to "we." After all, I'm part of the media too. Here's the deal: if you and I created a TV show where 10 people gathered every week to sing folk songs by camp fire, nobody would watch it. I'm sorry, but an ambulance and six cop cars at the end of my street gets more gawkers than little Johnny selling lemonade so he can get an operation for his dog. It's just the cold hard truth, and media outlets know this. That's why social media engagement is so critical. Yes, you will have people that challenge you. Yes, there will be people who criticise your platform and yes, some are even rude. But it's no different than in real life. You simply do the best you can and face it head on. And if you don't feel you're great at social media, get someone on your team who is. (Locally, Larry Maguire's team are doing textbook SM right now, whoever is doing it. Drew Caldwell needs help with his.)
Remember who you work for
Rob Ford returns every phone call he gets, although some media outlets like to report that a handful of voters fall through the cracks and the "every phone call returned" program is exaggerated. So what if he returns 95 per cent of his calls? As long as politicians strive for 100 per cent and get close to that number, isn't that why we voted for them? And its not only access by phone. Politicians should be aware that correspondence by email and social media is the new way things are being done. It is important you show respect and respond to as many people you represent as possible. Being on "social media" then not being social with your constituency is not acceptable. In fact it's elitist.
You can misbehave in public, but not with public funds
The goal is to not misbehave at all, but the conservatives nearly lost the Brandon federal by-election last year in part because of the spending scandal in Ottawa. (Among other topics on voter's minds at the time.) The thought of "self-entitled waste" at the federal level had people mad, really mad. And they should be. Alberta's Premiere had to resign because of it. Why is that once elected, so many politicians (at every level) feel it's their duty to scoop money out of the government purse and have a party? You are not movie stars. You are not celebrities. You are public employees. And you work for us. In Ottawa, some Senators may go to jail because of the "rock star" entitled behaviour. My thought is anyone misspending public funds should be investigated by police at any level. In fact, I call out right here right now that anyone running for anything in this province from this day forward, post all spending for anything and everything online. It's MY money, paid for by MY taxes. Want to see how much toilet paper was spent at city hall? Go online. How much were sandwiches at the last meeting? Go online. This is MY money. OUR money. Bought gum with my money? I want to see it. All finances should be made public and transparent.
It's all about taxes stupid
As Rick Mercer said at the start of my column; like him, hate him, or embarrassed by him, Rob Ford could win again. And quite frankly that is amazing. Or is it? Voters are desperate. We desperately want someone to keep an eye on the balance sheet. Allow me to put this way: Your financial advisor gets money from you each month. He doesn't tuck in his pants, and his tie is always loose. You go to see him at his office on Saturdays and he smells a bit of booze. Others tell you his house looks like it's not well kept and he's always shooting his mouth off. But you've just got your RRSP statement in the mail. And for the fourth year in a row, he's getting you 22 per cent return on your investments, because above all else, he's got YOUR money on HIS MIND. Personally, things could be falling apart, but the guy is a financial whiz and your buddies are lucky to be getting five per cent. And while some might say "I wouldn't want a guy like that handling my money", I'll tell you what: most of us would LOVE to have him handle our money. But remember, one person needs to lead them team around the table to make this happen. Mayor is not King or Queen of a city. (For the record, "your worship" should be tossed. It should be Mr. or Ms. Mayor.) Regardless, it is all around the table who are responsible for keeping finances in line.
At the end of the day, you have a budget for your home, your car, your power, your gas, your food, etc. Prices of things go up. It's a fact of life. Some things go down, but that is not realistic.
Increase is something we all must prepare for. But gas jumping from 1.19 to 1.50 a litre prompts strong reaction, and if gas stations were politicians, they would never see the light of day.
Rob Ford has kept tax increases in Toronto at roughly two per cent or less each budget he's been in office. You have a budget for your home, and our elected officials have a budget for the city, the province and our country. If you balance your books, why can't they?
Sure you'd like everything your neighbour or co-worker has. Sure you'd like to go on vacation. Sometimes you can afford it and sometimes you can't. Its time we get real. Its time to look at treating taxpayer money with some respect.
Is Rob Ford a buffoon? Sure.
Man-child? I would think so.
Does Rob Ford have demons and issues? It sure looks like it.
But will he be elected again? Polls show it's close. And after this circus side show, how will the 'establishment' react when he wins again?
And he probably will. Because he may not respect himself, but he sure as hell respects his voter's tax dollars.
Two politicians on the campaign trail encounter each other near a roadside diner, and decide to have a cup of coffee. They shoot the breeze for a while, and then get up to leave. "You know why I'm going to be elected?" guy asks, pulling a wad of bills out of his pocket. "It's because of my generous personality. I always give the waitresses a big tip and ask them for their vote."
"That a fact," says the other, "I always ask them to vote for you too... but then I tip them a nickel."

Welcome! My name is Lora Wiley and I am the Managing Owner of Au Marché. My business partners and I opened our doors in 1998. The inspiration for Au Marché came from my study abroad experience while a student at the University of Kansas. I studied in Besançon, France for a year and had the good fortune of being able to travel throughout Europe. One afternoon, while visiting a friend in Aix- en-Provence, I discovered a shop selling American foods such as Oreos, Dr. Pepper and Snapple! It gave me an idea, and like they say… "The rest is history!"
Please step in to our online store and browse. We look forward to helping you!
Praise from an Au Marché online customer: "Au Marché is simply awesome. I don't believe I've ever shopped anywhere that could begin to compare to your consistent level of customer service. I think you will be in business FOREVER!" - Teresa of Newport News,VA

N.O. Man Sentenced In Hit-Run Death of NOPD Officer
A suspect in the death of New Orleans Police Officer Rodney Thomas has pleaded guilty to his role in covering up the incident.
The New Orleans Advocate reports Bill Cager pleaded guilty Friday in criminal court to being an accessory to manslaughter and other counts.
Thomas was killed early July 7, 2013. He was on his way home from work when he was involved in a minor accident on Interstate 10. He was struck as he got out of his car to check on the other driver.
Cager received a suspended sentence on each count. He had already spent a year in jail and was released Friday.
Prosecutors say Cager hid the car that struck Thomas in his body shop, knowing it had been driven in a fatal hit-and-run.

Anthony Knockaert was "distraught" after his penalty miss cost Leicester a place in the Championship play-off final.
The winger (above), whose goal against Nottingham Forest on the final day of the season secured Leicester's place in the top six, had the chance to fire the Foxes to Wembley in the 95th minute of a dramatic second leg at Watford.
But Manuel Almunia saved his spot-kick, and the rebound, and within 60 seconds Watford had broken away and secured an amazing 3-2 aggregate victory courtesy of Troy Deeney's goal - in the seventh minute of injury time.
"Anthony is distraught as you would expect," admitted City manager Nigel Pearson.
"I'm the first to admit it was a generous penalty decision. But to concede off the resulting penalty save is very hard to take.
"Unfortunately that's the nature of the beast. It can be a very cruel game at times and for the players to experience that is very tough."
Watford trailed 1-0 from the first leg and twice levelled the tie on aggregate through Matej Vydra - his first a stunning volley Robin van Persie would have been proud of - either side of David Nugent's header.
Yet the Hornets' promotion dream looked over when, with the teams tied at 2-2 on aggregate, Marco Cassetti nudged Knockaert in the area and referee Michael Oliver awarded Leicester a spot-kick.
But Almunia blocked Knockaerts' penalty, and the rebound, and moments later Deeney struck the knockout blow.
In scenes reminiscent of Doncaster's breakaway goal to snatch promotion from Brentford a fortnight go - when the same referee gave the Bees a penalty - Watford charged upfield.
Fernando Forestieri swung in a cross from the right and Jonathan Hogg's header back across goal fell to Deeney, who thumped the ball home before jumping into the crowd to celebrate with his family.
Deeney, who has scored 20 goals this term despite beginning the season in prison for affray, said: "I'm not really a crier but that was emotional.
"As soon as Manu saved it I knew we would score.
"There was no way I was placing it, if the keeper had saved it he was ending up in the goal as well.
"Considering the start of the year I had, to score 20 goals and get the winner is very satisfying."
The Hornets will play the winner of tonight's clash between Brighton and Crystal Palace in the final on May 27.

Fright Bites: producer Q&A
We sat down with series producer Fiona Lamptey from Film4 to hear about terrifying new short-form series Fright Bites, coming soon to All4 on October 22nd, just in time for Halloween.
Tell us about this new strand – what can we expect?
Fright Bites are six short horror films that make the perfect online Halloween snack, perfect for your commute to work or other down-time, but perhaps not when walking alone down a dark alley by yourself… ha! What I love about this year's selection is how different they all are and how some play on our most basic fears. When I think about the films that scare me the most it's when the 'monster' is recognizable – that person you pass on the street, the intruder…
Some of the films explore this type of fear and others border on the more traditional 'monster in the dark' but with a truly unique twist. I promise they will get your heartbeat going – but don't worry you'll be able to function for the rest of the day.
How did you go about sourcing the scripts and directors – was it people you'd always wanted to work with, or a case of trying to find exciting new voices?
Initially Film4 development execs Eva Yates, Celine Coulson and I looked for filmmakers we had come across over the years or had watched their films and knew they would be brilliant for the strand. We cast the net as wide as we could with the majority of talent being new talent to Film4. Film4 are always on the look out for new exciting voices and people that Film4 / Channel 4 could go on to build a relationship with. And personally, I'm always on the lookout for a way to put my production management and producing skills to good use.
My production company Fruit Tree Media (as the name might suggest) was set up with the intention to nurture emerging filmmaking talent, so when I was brought on to produce it was a great opportunity to invest in a great bunch of talented individuals.
Tell us a bit about the production process.
It was crazy. Mostly enjoyable but intense. We had a month to pull all the films together and although from my very first meeting with the talent I could tell they were brilliant I didn't know much about their quirks – for example, were they fast shooters, or directors who were more considered and liked more time to think things through? – so that was the most difficult task I think I had to overcome in the beginning. It sounds obvious now but I had to treat them as individuals, as they all wanted or needed different things from me at any given point. However once we got a momentum going and locations confirmed I felt like we were on our way.
Crewing was another stumbling block as I was keen to ensure the shorts were a new talent vehicle not just for the core creative team but the crew working behind the camera too. I am glad to say we had a crew from all walks of life, with different levels of experience in front and behind the camera, on these shorts – and every single one of them made it all possible. It was pure magic. I also couldn't have done this without the help of Francesca Chen and Tristan Cope – who went beyond the call of duty. We have some great memories! Of course I've made it sound like the most smooth-sailing production ever, I just don't want to bore you about the long days, broken lifts, dysfunctional urine pumps, fire alarms and lighting worries. I'll save that for another time.
Fright Bites will be available to view on All4 from 22nd October.

Schussing the black diamond: home prices go straight downBy
To a skier, schussing a black diamond means going straight down a very steep trail. Which pretty much describes what's happening to the housing market—and not just in ski country. Today, Standard & Poor's announced the biggest annual decline yet recorded in the S&P/Case-Shiller 10-City Composite Home Price Index. Prices in 10 big metro areas fell 6.7% from October 2006 through October 2007. That exceeds the 6.3% annual decline through April 1991, which was during a recession. (The 10-city series began in 1987.)
S&P quotes Yale economist Robert J. Shiller as saying, "No matter how you look at these data, it is obvious that the current state of the single-family housing market remains grim." Shiller is an inventor of the index and chief economist of S&P's index partner, MacroMarkets.
A few bullet points of awfulness:
*The 20-City Composite fell 6.1%, which was a record for the series (which goes back to 2000). *Miami had an annual decline of 12.4%, followed by Tampa at 11.2%, Detroit at 11.2% and San Diego at 11.1%. *Atlanta and Dallas entered negative territory in October, leaving only Charlotte, Portland, and Seattle with annual increases in home prices through October.
So not only is housing heading downhill, it's doing so at high velocity. Alert the Red Cross.

The Indian movie industry has many promises to keep this year. With an array of movies from different genres that promises to entertain every section of the audience let's see what are the most awaited movies this year.
Never before has any remake grabbed so much attention as this one. The remake of the 1990 classic movie, Agneepath which smashed all box office records is to return this January. With a powerful star cast, the movie promos have already grabbed eyeballs. With actors like Hrithik Roshan portraying the protagonist's role, movie critics are going to keep their fingers crossed on this one. With actor Priyanka Chopra fitting well into a supporting role, the movie has already featured in the must watch list of movies of 2012. A sizzling item number by Katrina Kaif as "Chikni Chameli", the marketing of the film is on fire. What stirred the most curious glances is however, the new look of Sanjay Dutt in the movie portraying the role of "Kaancha Cheena". Will the remake soar the charts like the original movie however remains to be seen!
Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu:
A Karan Johar movie that tells the tale of a unique love story: a glamorous and vibrant Kareena portraying a carefree and fun loving hairstylist who happens to marry Imraan Khan out of a trip to Vegas and too much alcohol. The movie might seem like a rip off from a famous Hollywood movie, however with the lead pair promising a power packed performance, no one seems to be complaining. The trailers give the audiences a sneak peek into Kareena's real self which is vibrant and full of life. It is understandable that she is the show stealer. Imraan on the other hand does justice with his innocent guy next door look. Releasing this Valentine's, it is a twisted tale of love. The movie has already got a lot of attention with its title track "Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu", and the audience is waiting for its release to enjoy this unconventional love story from the KJo brand.
Tere Naal Love Ho Gya:
Bollywood seems to have a lot of romantic stories lined up this year.Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya , releasing on 24th February, promises to relive the Valentine's day spirit. The biggest selling point of this movie is the Ritesh and Genelia Lead pair, who are also a couple in real life and are due to get married in March. Much remains to be seen as the real life couple of eight years try to portray the role of a reel life romantic couple. Supporting them is the legendary veteran, Om Puri. Director Mandeep Kumar could not have found a better time to release the movie, especially with the supposed wedding date lined up for the couple.
Agent Vinod:
Come 2012, and the Indian audiences can get a preview of our very own Bond movie, desi style. The movie has been facing many a delay with the sudden death of Saif's father, Nawab of Pataudi. The movie promises to be a one of a kind spy movie, with all the action and thrill that is reminder of the Hollywood spy movies. Saif is also the producer for this movie and according to him; the best teams are working to make this movie stand out among all the other action thriller movies. Kareena and Saif pair up as the lead cast, and although the pair has faced two flops, their real life chemistry is what makes it more special. The couple is also expected to tie knot in real life after the release of the movie sometime in March. This one is one movie to look out for its Saif-eena charm.
Kya Super Kool Hai Hum:
2012 seems to be the year of remakes and sequels. The sequel to the slapstick comedy, "Kya Kool Hai Hum" starring Tusshar Kapur and Ritesh Deshmukh this movie is another addition to the previous version with more punches and better attempts at comedy. Although the male lead of the movie remains same as the previous version, the female star cast has been replaced by Neha Sharma and Srah Jane Dias. Audiences will keep an eye for this one to see if the comedy can be recreated or the magic has fizzed away.
Jannat 2:
Yet another sequal to the hit, Jannat, the movie sees the debut of ex miss India Universe Esha Gupta. One can count on Vishesh films to make a hit film using the same old formula of a person whose ultimate desire is to make money and how it changes his life. Emraan Hashmi has proved that he can be pull off a movie with his performances, and the July release will see the audiences' speculation coming to an end. An icing to the movie is that it is co produced by Fox studios.
A movie has already been a child to controversies, with three fake posters of it being already released. This July release sees the comeback of the perfectionist actor Aamir Khan with the hit team of Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar of "Dil Chahata Hai" fame. Aamir is portraying the role of a cop in this movie,and with the lead pair of Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor, this is surely one movie to look out for in 2012.
Ek Tha Tiger:
Salman Khan Fans are in for yet another big surprise this year. Salman Khan has been roped in by Yash Raj Film for a movie opposite ex fling Katrina Kaif. For the audiences, it is a double treat, as they get to see Salman opposite Katrina and in a Yash Raj film. With music by Pritam and direction by Kabir Khan, the story for the film has been written by Yash Chopra. A visual treat with a post Eid release, the movie posters has already been released.
Jism 2:
The balls have been set rolling for this movie as there are talks of Canadian porn star of Big Boss fame, Sunny Leone being a part of the movie. This movie form the Bhatt camp is not a sequel to Jism, However the story is somewhat similar dealing with the crimes for passion. The movie is co-directed by actor, Dino Morea , and with Mahesh Bhatt pairing up with daughter Pooja Bhatt, this is going to be a class apart. With semi nude posters that tease the Indian sensibility, Jism 2 is going to revolutionise the way Indian cinema treats Sex. Let's see if the Indian audiences readily accept a movie ahead of its comfort zone.
Raaz 3:
Vikram Bhatt seems to have found his forte, and horror flicks seem to be his new genre. He excels in these horror movies, and part three promises to be better than its earlier counterparts. With a start cast that says Emraan Hashmi, Jaquline Fernendes and a probable appearance by Bipasha Basu, the movie promises to be a different from the previous thrillers. Scare is the keyword here, and with Vikram reporting spooky event happening to him during the shoot of this movie, expectations are raised. We wait for this movie's 6th July release probably in 3D.
Madhur Bhandarkar releases are always most anticipated and with this movie roping in controversies about its star cast, expectations are already soaring. The film maker has successfully portrayed real life scenarios in cult movies like Chandni Bar and Fashion etc. With Aishwarya opting out of the movie after getting pregnant, there was much debate on who would fit into her shoes for the role. Madhur initially convinced Kareena to portray this role; however she was not very comfortable with certain segments of the story. With a bond that extends way beyond sharing a film experience, Madhur ultimately convinced Bebo to do the film. With Kareena's portrayal of yet another feminist oriented role, the audiences cannot wait for the late release. Hope the shooting of the film get over without any more glitches.
Ram Gopal Verma is back with a bang. A strong star cast with the who's who of the film industry with names like Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt and others,this film has already grabbed much attention from both audiences and critics. Ramu is back with a genre he is best in, and a gangstar movie with a powerful star cast is bound to be a treat for the audiences. The story is about two police officers who try and tackle the Mumbai underworld. With thrills and entertainment packed in one movie, this one promises to revisit old hits from the maker.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani:
Bollywood thrives on romance, and for every thriller, there are two romantic movies churned out every year. However what sets this movie apart is the tag that Karan Johar can make such films. The movie casts Ranbir Kapoor and Depika Padukone , who are sharing screen space after their much hyped break up. The audiences are waiting to see the hot pair sizzle on screen and share their former real life chemistry in reel life. Depika and Ranbir had been vocal about their relationship, and with the breakup being the topic of discussion for many, the movie is sure to be one to look out for. With Karan Johar casting his magic, romance is in the air.
Khiladi 786:
Akshay Kumar is back with yet another addition to the Khiladi sequences. There was a time when a Khiladi movie would surely be a success formula for the actor. What remains to be seen is whether the magic would be recreated. Akshay Kumar came to be known as Mr. Khiladi. The movie promises thrill and adventure with an essence of comedy. Packed with very impressive action sequences, this one is sure to make a mark for itself. The movie is also the very first association of Himesh Reshamia and Akshay Kumar and supposedly Paresh Rawal has also agreed to be a part of this venture. The movie is slated to undergo a title change and Akshay Kumar will be seen as a Punjabi. The release of the movie is rumored to be around Diwali and it adds a touch of comedy with the action.
Dabangg 2:
Hail Chulbul Pandey, the much loved cop in Dabangg. The movie became a super hit with the common man loving the simple yet stylish and full of attitude portrayal of the character by Salman. The songs are to hit the charts soon and with an addition of a new Villain, Salman is set to cast his magic with this one. Action packed and one with witty dialogues, the simple story of good over evil has been made to entertain the masses. Watch out for the much loved Chulbul Pandey in a new story but with his signature looks and style. Salman is set to win the hearts of the Indian audiences just like he casted his spell with his character in the first movie.
A lot to look out for! From comedy to drama, to romantic movie and some very action packed thrillers, 2012 is to bring in a lot of choices for the audiences to choose from, and if you happen to be a movie buff, there could not have been better news for you. With cynics predicting the end of the world in 2012, what better way to end than with an entertainment packed year for the Indian audiences.

Beautiful Pants
By TerraceTrader
from Terrace, BC
I was very impressed with the quality of these pants, very well made and beautiful material..I bought the watermelon & the white. Really nice, was pleasantly surprised.. quality product..Have already recommended these to friends
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Love them
By Eve
from Stouffville, Ontario
I have 2 pairs now and I have ordered 3 more pairs. To be honest I don't like this length for myself but because I am short they are regular length on me and I just love them and because of the little shine it has they can be dressier too.Great pants.

Bought them in the ROYAL. Couldn't get my size so went one size up and they were too big. Nice material and style.
Gorgeous, but.....
By GLORIA
from STONEY CREEK
I bought a pair of black size 16 and they fit perfectly, so I ordered the same size in white and sand. Waaaay too tight. Both fit like a size 14 and I even checked the tag to make sure I got the right size delivered. Unfortunately there are no more 16's left and am very disappointed because I am soon leaving on a cruise and wanted these to take with me. Size inconsistency for Mr. Max has never been a problem before. Too bad. because these pants are REALLY nice.
Too Long!
By LindaLou
from Manitoba
These crops have a very nice feel to them and are good quality, however they were almost a full length pant on me and that wasn't what I was looking for.

Rovers currently have 12 professionals on their books for next season's League One campaign, many of whom boast a wealth of Championship experience following the club's four-year stay in the second tier.
"It's not that I want to lose them - in fact there are quite a few of them I really don't want to lose," he told The Star. "But, as I have said before, I have to move out some of the players on the biggest contracts before I can start to rebuild the squad.
"As things stand I've got the budget down by more than half, but we've got just 12 contracted players on the books. Depending how many of them leave, we need to sign at least another 10 players to complete the squad.
"But until such time as one of the contracted players moves on I don't know which position I need to fill. If, for instance, Tommy Spurr and George Friend were to leave I would obviously need a left-back. I've been offered some really good left-backs, as I have right-backs, in recent weeks, but I can't move on any of them.
"In any case a number have already been snapped up by other clubs. There are good players out there, who I know would do us a good job in League One next season, who I have spoken to and who I have shown around the stadium."

CVC's Flint Said to Get Lender Backing for Debt Extension Deal
Flint Group Inc., the printing ink maker owned by CVC Capital Partners Ltd., got support from lenders to repay a portion of its debt as part of an effort to push back the maturity of its borrowings, according to two people with knowledge of the transaction.
The company, which owes about 2.5 billion euros ($3.2 billion), got the two-thirds backing it needed to repay about 50 million euros of term loans A, B and C due 2013 and 2014 from its own cash, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private.
Colin Stokes, a U.K.-based spokesman for Flint, didn't respond to a telephone call and e-mail seeking comment on the deal. A spokesman for CVC, who asked not to be identified citing company policy, declined to comment on the financing.
The debt is held by lenders that didn't agree to a loan extension proposal in 2011. Their rejections meant the company couldn't push back maturities of its senior debt by two years, the people said. Flint's lower-ranking loans were extended to 2018 as part of the request.
A 50 basis-point fee was on offer to lenders if they agreed to the request by March 22, while those agreeing by the final deadline of March 28 will receive 25 basis points, people said previously. The interest margin on the extended debt will rise 100 basis points, said the people. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.
Flint Group was formed in 2005 when CVC bought U.S.-based Flint Ink Corp. and combined it with Xsys, the European business it created by merging a printing-colors business from BASF AG and Sweden's ANI Group.

So you're looking to upgrade that old Model 870 with some new hardware. Or it could be you want to preserve that nice wood stock on your Model 7400 and replace it with a synthetic stock for hunting. Before you make your purchase, be sure to educate yourself on any hardware and internal components that may also be needed for your alteration.
Over the years, Remington has offered 2 main stock bolt lengths. The "long stock bolt" is 10 1/4" while the "short stock bolt" is 8 1/4".
All of our current Model 870 shotguns, both wood or synthetic stocks, use the "long stock bolt". The one exception is the Model 870 Jr. which uses the "short stock bolt". However there was a time, prior to 2006, that the length of the bolt depended on which version of the Model 870 you owned. Pre-2006 Model 870 Express shotguns had the short stock bolt. So rule of thumb is if you are putting a new Remington replacement stock on your Model 870, be sure to have a long stock bolt.
If you have an autoloading or pump action rifle, the stock bolt length is based on the style of stock. Wood stocks for the Model 7400, Model 7600, and Model 750 have a short stock bolt whereas the synthetic stock models use a long stock bolt.
Another key component to be aware of is the stock bearing plate. All of our shotguns, autoloading rifles and pump action rifles with wood stocks have a stock bearing plate between the stock and the receiver. This is to protect the wood stock from splitting and provide a solid fit. If you are switching from a wood to a synthetic stock, be sure to remove this plate. If you are going from a synthetic stock to a wood stock, be sure to have this plate in place or you will not have a solid fit.
Stock bearing plate on 12 ga shotgun models Stock bearing plate used on smaller gauge shotgun models as well as Models 7600, 7400, & 750
Both stock bearing plates and stock bolts can be ordered through our online store at www.shopremingtoncountry.com keyword "stock bearing plate" or "stock bolt" depending on what you are looking for. You can also order through our parts department by calling 1-800-243-9700 M-F 9am-5pm EST.

Subject: [mg96913] [mg96886] newbie: diff equation
My problem is very simple, I'm sure someone can help me out quickly. I am
trying to solve some systems of differential equations a bit like a particle
in a box (QM) so I started with this basic problem which I know how to solve
just to make sure I am entering everything ok, but I can't even get it to
I want to solve f''[x]= - m^2 f[x]
with f[0] = 0 and f[Pi] = 0
this is obviously only solvable with the condition on m being integer but if
I do DSolve on the above with the boundary conditions I just get f=0. How
can I get mathematica to solve this and give me the conditions on m? I need
to solve much more general problems of this type. I hope someone can help.
Many thanks

Had a great time at Sundance this past weekend. This was the premiere of the film with the new score. All the award-winning showings of the movie up to this point have been with the previous score, and the reviews have been amazing…so I was a bit nervous to see how critics reacted to it with the new music. Needless to say, I was relieved to see that people still liked it, some saying they even liked it more with the new music.
I went to the premiere with an old friend, Ken Block. Most of you probably know him from this. Ken started DC shoes back in the day, and is a pretty inspirational and fun dude.
With the premiere over, and a change to relax, we got together with some mutual friends to hang. Met Steve Berra. Awesome dude, I could have talked to him for hours.
Did a little press too, with the director (Gareth Evans) and my scoring partner (Joe Trapanese). Great guys.
Wrapped up the weekend with a party for The Raid, and a set by Deadmau5.
All in all, a great trip. Lots of awesome reviews about the film and the new score. Here's a new (super bloody) taste of what you're in store for when the movie comes out in a couple months…

I've now been a resident of Texas for the requisite 6 months for the CHL application. My question is whether its worth doing so or not? My AZ CCW is still very valid and TX recognizes non-res permits per www.handgunlaw.us.
So, should I fork over the $140 and apply for a TX permit? I'm considering it since Texas is a must-inform state and I don't want to run into an ignorant officer that doesn't realize that my AZ permit is valid in Texas.

When is too much e-mail too much? Try 50 or more messages a day.
According to Harris Interactive, that's the breaking point for employees' daily allowance of e-mail. Anything more sets their heads spinning, based on the results of more than 2,000 American adults in early June.
(For some perspective, consider a mind-blowing 90 trillion e-mails, or 247 billion a day, were sent last year, according to web-monitoring firm Pingdom.)
One in five people say 50 work-related e-mail messages per day is the magic number before they feel swamped. The effect is even more pronounced for smartphone users -- 37% feel "overwhelmed" by 50 or more work e-mail, says Jonathan McCormick, COO of Intermedia, a web-based e-mail provider that sponsored the survey.
Other key findings:
Small-business users are feeling the brunt. A staggering 94% of small-business employees said 50 e-mails is their limit.
Gender makes no difference. Men and women are equally stressed -- 94% of men and 95% of women cited the number 50.
Intermedia advises e-mail users to organize and prioritize their digital correspondence, and read and respond to incoming messages that require quick responses.

Imani Winds Perform at the Hartt School Tonight
The Hartt School presents one of the country's most innovative and successful chamber music ensembles - Imani Winds - tonight, February 21, at 7:30 PM in Millard Auditorium, University of Hartford, 200 Bloomfield Avenue, West Hartford.
This globe-circling, genre-blurring quintet has seemingly collaborated with every significant musical figure of our time, from Wayne Shorter and Paquito D'Rivera to Yo-Yo Ma and Elliott Carter. Imani has performed in every important venue and series in North America, and this year makes it debut appearances in France, Brazil and China. The Washington Examiner says Imani Winds presents "... a soulful blend of classical, Latin, jazz, and world music..." and is "one of the most innovative and exciting ensembles to have emerged on the classical music scene..." To learn more about Imani Winds, visit imaniwinds.com. Special pre-concert dinners at the University of Hartford's 1877 Club precede each performance. Patrons may purchase concert and/or dinner tickets from University of Hartford Box Office in Lincoln Theater on the University of Hartford Campus at 860.768.4228 or 800.274.8587 or online at www.hartford.edu/hartt.
About Imani Winds: More than North America's premier wind quintet, Imani Winds has established itself as one of the most successful chamber music ensembles in the United States. Since 1997, the Grammy nominated quintet has taken a unique path, carving out a distinct presence in the classical music world with its dynamic playing, culturally poignant programming, genre-blurring collaborations, and inspirational outreach programs. With two member composers and a deep commitment to commissioning new work, the group is enriching the traditional wind quintet repertoire while meaningfully bridging European, American, African, and Latin American traditions.
Imani Winds' extensive touring schedule has brought them to most of this country's major concert venues including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, Disney Hall, and Kimmel Center. The group is frequently engaged by the premier chamber music series in Boston, San Francisco, Portland, Philadelphia, and New York, and have also played virtually every major university performing arts series including those in Amherst, Ann Arbor, Austin, Seattle, Stanford, Urbana, and countless others. Festival appearances include Chamber Music Northwest, Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, La Jolla Music Society, Virginia Arts Festival, Bravo! Colorado, and Ravinia Festival. The current season features several international tours for Imani Winds, with debut appearances in France, China, and Brazil.
The group continues its Legacy Commissioning Project, in which the ensemble is commissioning, premiering, and touring new works for woodwind quintet written by established and emerging composers of diverse musical backgrounds. The select composers originate from different points of the globe bringing a wide range of sounds and experiences. The Legacy Project kicked off in 2008 with world premieres by Alvin Singleton and Roberto Sierra. Since then, projects have included works by Jason Moran, Stefon Harris, Danilo Perez, and Simon Shaheen.
The group's fifth album on E1 Music - entitled Terra Incognita, after Wayne Shorter's piece written for the group - is a celebration of the Legacy project with new works written for Imani Winds by Mr. Shorter, Jason Moran, and Paquito D'Rivera. The wide range of programs offered by Imani Winds demonstrates their mission to expand the repertoire and diversify new music sources. From Mendelssohn, Jean Françaix, György Ligeti, and Luciano Berio, to Astor Piazzolla, Elliott Carter, and John Harbison; and to the unexpected ranks of Paquito D'Rivera and Wayne Shorter, Imani Winds actively seeks to engage new music and new voices into the modern classical idiom.

Authorities raid massive identity theft ring
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Spokane County Sheriff's Office and federal agents executed multiple search warrants in Spokane as part of a crackdown on a massive identity theft ring.
Police raided five homes today from the South Hill to North Spokane in the takedown of the ring, in which authorities believe there could be as many as 300 victims.
The investigation into this ring started in September and by Thursday morning detectives had enough evidence to execute several search warrants.ID theft ring
Spokane County Sheriff's Deputy Craig Chamberlin said the scope of this investigation spans several states and involves several law enforcement agencies including the Secret Service, Social Security Administration and the U.S. Postal Service.
Chamberlain said the thieves stole more than $100,000 by opening up accounts and credit cards in other people's names. The number of victims could grow as they dig deeper into this identity theft ring.
"We may very well have victims who don't even know they are victims yet. So we are here doing this investigation, trying to locate more victims, trying to find any evidence that can help determine who these victims are, and mainly determining how Mr. Clark is obtaining these victims identification. Right now we don't know how he's doing that," Chamberlin said.
Michael Clark, 24, is in custody and has been charged with four counts of forgery, one count of third degree theft and one count of money laundering.

4 Put an insulating blanket around your hot water
heater. This is an easy way to keep the water heater from
doing double duty in cold basements and garages.
5 Keep blankets on the couch.
Cuddling up for some TV or movie time is a great winter activity,
but chilling out alone can get chilly. Blankets make everything
6 Reverse the direction of the ceiling
fans. During cold weather they should turn clockwise to
push warm air down.

DIY basement
This is redirected from a previous question to make it DIY question
Does anyone have any experience constructing a basement themselves? As in rented a backhoe, dug the hole, laid out the structure, made the forms, poured the concrete and finished the floor, etc?
How big? How long did it take? Were there parts of it that were given up on and contracted out? Any cautionary tales for a fool who would try it?
I can tell you one thing from being a cert excavator operator, that if you are planning on excavating your average size basement floor, then a backhoe will not do.:no: The first step in building a basement from nothing is didding your hole.:yes: It may sound simple but it's not.:no: You have to plan on where all the excavated dirt will go. Will it go in a dump truck and go to a fill site ? or will it stay on site. When it's left on site beside the excavated hole, it must, by code be 1 metre or more away from the edge.:thumbup: This is the most inportant part. You must ,and I stress MUST NOT excavate any deeper than where the floor will lay.:no::censored: This is absolutely critical to the success of the project. It is so easy for someone who's not experienced in this, to screw up , and fast.:laughing: It may look and sound easy, but It's not. I would recommend for that first ,and most important step that you hire it out to a professionals .:thumbup: You will save yourself alot of time and greef, not to mention money in the end.:wink: I hope this helps.
Good luck. :thumbsup:
From an extreme DIYers view anything is possible.
The best steps in taking on a mega project is to learn about every single thing. The function of the equipment available, where to get it from. How to dispose of fill dirt (as was already mentioned), how to ensure you don't overdig. How to check the ground and surrounding dig walls for water tamp . . . so on and so forth.
Posting questions is great - but also read books. Read articles written by people (or blogs) who have done what you have done and get a feel for what you're in for. Further - read articles and stories from people who have had to deal with bad basement jobs: flooding, structural failure, wall collapse - what happened and how they had to fix it. This will help you figure out what NOT to do.
Spend a lot of time learning about every aspect of the job you might be undertaking before you decide whether or not you will undertake it. (I spend at least 3 or 6 months crunching plans and numbers on a job as small as a bathroom - I'm ultra careful as I do NOT want to have to work with others and call in any assistance. I do everything on my own).
Learning everything means attending DIY shops at hardware stores if you can (what do you know how to do? What do you not?) - the ones that tell you how to tile/drywall/etc - would be stellar. Learn all the lingo and words used - as much as possible. Look into local building codes, cost of a permit, etc etc etc. Figure out your plan for your basement (you must draw up a comprehensive plan that touches on plumbing, electrical, wall structure and everything else to get a permit).
This learning process will help you determine what you can and cannot do by yourself. You can actually contract out just PART of the work. You can shop around for estimates - see if someone will let you work on the crew in the process. My Dad assisted the builders in the construction of the house we lived in when I was little. He helped excavate and all sorts of things. he, ultimately, cut and hung all the drywall in the basement and built in a bathroom and office after they let go of the company that he employed. They used the upstairs as a learning curve for him and taught him what he needed to know and he saved money by finishing a lot on his own.
I firmly believe that nothing can't be done by yourself - you're only limited by what you don't know and what you physically cannot do.
It was ~$5k to have my garage area dug out, forms put up & concrete poured
$2k of that was the excavation, 24x36 w/24' of one side against existing house
Fairly straight forward...not 8' down in most areas
I have run some heavy equipment in the past
But its not something that I even considered to tackle myself
I did do some "prep" work 2 years earlier, I rented a terramite backhoe & dug out all the good topsoil & hauled that out back to level an area
You can't even rent the size machine (small actually) that he brought in to excavate
He also hit ledge in 2 places & they had to drill & pin the ledge
Dirt stayed on site to regrade the side yard
Somehow I don't see Home Depot having a DIY workshop on building basements:)
I am most certainly in the learning stage in order to make the Build/Buy/Don't Bother decision and by that scoping the overall project. When the basement idea came to me it was followed by two word...Man Cave! So now I'm going to be sad if I don't get my basement.:(
The hole will be a challenge. The house is only 36 inches from the property line that has a chain link fence I don't want to disturb. That means that hole there has to be steep (case for using pro). While most of the ground I've dug in here is hard packed clay, the steep side should probably be shored. On the other side is a driveway (somewhat more expendable). I was considering stepping the foundation side walls in a foot (26' 4" wide first floor, 24' 4" wide foundation) to provide a little more clearance for the hole since I can cantilever the sides of the extension in about a foot basically for free.
I was also investigating insulated concrete forms. I have a very simple rectangular shape to build and only about 7 feet high.
The only way I could get rid of the 40 yards of dirt on site would be to spread it about 2" thick over the entire yard. I suspect that's easier said than done. I expect it would have to be hauled.
Problem solved. No basement. The extension had gotten too big with too many technical problems. Extension will be half house width on crawl space. This leaves the back door and stairs alone. The Boss has OKed that.
Most people I know who do a crawl space instead of a basement regret it
One house we looked at we wanted to buy
Buy they installed crawl space under the great room instead of a basement
So we passed on the house
We use our basement mainly for storage area, laundry
yeah - I hate my crawlspace and wish it was a functional basement, absolutely!
However considering this houses poor construction I'm glad it is a crawlspace - ugh - I can't even imagine :) But that's beside the point.

( Max score: 100 )

Blu-ray Disc release Date: December 6, 2011
"Travel to an exotic and extraordinary land."
Film Synopsis:
From the Academy Award®-nominated producers of Everest and Grand Canyon Adventure comes an all-new experience about the extraordinary culture and history of Arabia.
My Take:
Arabia 3D (IMAX) is another entry in Image Entertainments 3D IMAX series. It was produced by MacGillivray-Freeman Films, the folks who made Everest and Grand Canyon Adventure. As a documentary it is pretty run-of-the-mill and does not tread new territory, but if you are in it for the 3D views, you will be in for a treat. To get to see Mecca and the largest human gathering on earth in 3D is nothing short of breathtaking. A wild desert sandstorm will have you squinting and your surrounds getting a nice workout, and the stunning aquatic shots of coral reefs and ancient shipwrecks in the Red Sea are equally impressive. This feature is narrated by Helen Mirren and stars Hamzah Jamjoom, a 22-year-old aspiring Arabian film-making and student who comes home from the USA to make a film about his native culture. The 45 minutes does have glimpses of the personal touch Hamzah puts on this chance of showing his peoples roots, but most of the time it serves as a fairly standard history lesson.

Arabia 3D (IMAX) comes to Blu-ray Disc from Image Entertainment featuring 1080p MVC encoded video that has an average bitrate of 23 mbps and DTS-HD Master Audio sound that has a average bitrate of 2.7 mbps
Arabia 3D (IMAX) sure is demo material. I am not a big fan of 3D as it tends to make me a bit uncomfortable, especially during a long movie, so for me these 45 min documentaries are right up my alley. This might just be the best I have yet to see from a A/V quality standpoint. The depth of field was stunning, especially during the journey into the Red Sea. What was so breathtaking is that depth combined with the in-room dimension of fish swimming. Couple that with spot-on colors and fine details that are up there with the best of the 2D releases and you sure have a 3D fans delight. The audio was no slouch as well, with an immersive sound-field that utilized the effects channels to add another level to the already fantastic depth the 3D created. The narration and musical portions were powerful as well. Voices are crisp and clear, showcasing every bit of sibilance and enunciation and the score by Steve Wood was big and bold. He deserves credit as a musical chameleon, doing the scores in many different genres for many MacGillivray-Freeman Films.
Bonus Features:
- (HD) Making Of Arabia
- (HD) The MacGillivray Freeman History
- (HD) IMAX Trailers
- BD live
Final Thoughts:
As a documentary Arabia 3D (IMAX) does not tread new territory, but if you are in it for the 3D views, you will be in for a treat. I prefer my 3D viewing in smaller durations, so these 45 minute IMAX films are right up my alley. This is an reference 3D encode and great addition to Image Entertainments impressive list of 3D releases, and a definite to any fan or collector of 3D Blu-ray!

I cant argue your perception on the film,I thought it was OK at best, however, you might want to check your set-up as the 3D and audio were quite astonishing.
I agree that the audio was great but the 3D didn't look good to me. I just saw Cave of Forgotten Dreams and thought that the 3D was amazing. Much better film too.
The "Making of" in 2D has a great image as good as the movie!
The movie is OK, good for a rental only.

Crain's Chicago Congratulates Gerald Ratner '37 on His 100th Birthday
From Crain's Chicago Business:
Gerald Ratner turns 100 today and has been a Chicago lawyer for more than 75 of those years — still coming into the Gould & Ratner LLP offices on occasion and going over the books.
His client relationships are similarly long-lived. He has counseled the Crown family on headline deals going back to mid-century, such as the 1959 merger of Material Service Corp. with defense contractor General Dynamics Corp. and the 1961 sale of the Empire State Building.
"He has been involved, from a legal standpoint, in just about everything we have done, especially on the real estate part," Lester Crown, chairman of Henry Crown & Co., said in August.
After World War II, Mr. Ratner partnered with University of Chicago Law School classmate Benjamin Gould to form what today is a 50-lawyer firm.

Cancer 21 Jun-22 Jul: When you are under Saturn's rule, less is more. It's time to do that clutter-busting thing the feng-shui experts are so keen on and get lean and mean. Throw out any outworn emotional baggage along with the cracked plates; in the brand new terrain you are now exploring, all are surplus to requirements. Celebrate the arrival of your birthday season in all style next weekend, which promises revelations as well as revels.
Leo 23 Jul-22 Aug: Your recent and alarming ability to attract contrary folk (angry exes for example) now recedes, while sociable energies suggest that for the next few weeks you can locate just the right person without too much effort. Although some of you may this week revisit an issue plagued by deceit (key birthdays near 5 August), your ongoing mission is pleasure, enjoyment in your work and self-liberation.
Virgo 23 Aug-22 Sep: The first piece of good news is that with Saturn off your case, the work isn't going to be as gruelling as during the last two years. The second is that although your career is calling pressingly for your attention this week, there are plenty of good-looking, sharp-witted contacts to be made. With your dash- about-town Mercury ruler at the point where your reputation is made, book a window seat and pose.
Libra 23 Sep-23 Oct: Best not look over your shoulder - the thing called Work is running down the street shouting your name - and instead concentrate on lofty thoughts, big plans and overseas contacts. That your Venus ruler is this week in embrace with Mercury lends your intellectual and social enterprises a certain failsafe quality, so push hard, call in favours and make merry while the Gemini Sun shines. Next weekend's solstice is a transitional moment; frolic now, worry later.
Scorpio 24 Oct-21 Nov: Flattery for your professionalism is welcome, but doubly so when accompanied by hard cash and written offers. A little scepticism may be in order. Private matters get a jolt this week as Mars switches sign. Whether you want to leap into a love affair, kick over the traces, or get your unruly offspring in order, here's your chance. Pay attention to the thrills'n' spills weekend ahead - you'll be back here in a couple of months.
Sagittarius 22 Nov-21 Dec: Ouch! This weekend's full Moon in your sign will have left a few Centaurs with sore heads, but may have spilt a little light on your love life. Oddly enough, neither passing fancies nor serious courtships need be a source of anxiety from hereon - if they are, you'll be waving them bye-bye rather than enduring a grim inquiry into where the relationship is heading. All you need to keep things swinging this week is a light, cheery touch.
Capricorn 22 Dec-19 Jan: Your recent mellow patch could be showing signs of fraying, as planets have vacated your horoscope's pleasure-before-work zone. A shame, as there's little as delightful as an off-duty Capricorn engaging with their down and dirty side. It isn't necessarily just work that is coming in to replace relaxation; Jupiter's passage through your eighth house makes human intimacy your current grail. Next weekend's solstice celebrations, a potentially important moment, favour an out-and-about scenario.
Aquarius 20 Jan-19 Feb: Your reputation for detachment must be taking something of a knock. If you haven't been barking at your nearest and dearest, you've been gawking after someone out of reach, while leading the karaoke singalong. Mars' departing your sign should calm your fighting spirit, but your personal love-in remains on stream. Toxins in your personal relationships are now being washed away, providing you show some heart, the part of you most under examination at present.
Pisces 20 Feb-20 Mar: The tide of change is still incoming. This week brings further clarity about what has to alter. With an abrasive Mars/ Uranus combination in play, talks with colleagues and family are likely to be full and frank, and your ability to tolerate fools thin. Simultaneously, you're open to domestic reform, serious commitment and approaches from oddball characters. Try to be somewhere special for next weekend - a pivotal moment.
Aries 21 Mar-19 Apr: At some point you are going to have to take a long, deep rest (especially after your performances this weekend), but for now it's a case of grabbing the shut-eye where you can find it. The tempo of your meet'n'greet travels remains hectic, and the promise of good times (indeed, their delivery!) a constant spur to action. Stagger through to next weekend, and a slower more introspective mood should be creeping in.
Taurus 20 Apr-20 May: Are your professional toils just for the glory, or are you actually going to see some folding stuff to go with it? Some Bullish obstinacy won't go amiss amid the slippery promises and fast fiscal deals which might otherwise poison the atmosphere, not least between you and a main squeeze. Your social life can wait; next weekend is an ideal moment to seek out a different scene.
Gemini 21 May-20 Jun: Since one point of your sign is to be at least two people at once, the need to be in two places shouldn't present you with a problem. The arrival of Mercury will rev your engines, ring your phone and keep those funny-peculiar times coming. Your biggest challenge is how to contain the mounting excitement; otherwise, when Mercury and Venus conjoin on Friday, your personal electro-magnetic field could fuse every light in the house.

The claim: This aloe-based, sulphate-free cleansing gel cleans deeply and effectively without leaving skin feeling tight. It gently removes makeup and impurities without over-drying or unbalancing skin. It cleanses with benefits: firming, balancing and moisturising. And it's speedy, too — it super-cleans the entire face, neck and eye makeup in one quick step.
Cost: $32
Where: www.mamamio.com
A face wash with no soap that promises a deep cleanse? I was more than a little bit skeptical.
I was intrigued, however, by the "no nasties" pledge on the Mama Mio Clean Slate face wash, which means it contains all of the good stuff — ecocertified coconut cleansers, essential oils and aloe vera leaf juice — but not the harsh chemicals that can dry out, unbalance or irritate your face.
The scent was fresh, earthy and pleasant but not overwhelming.
For me, the best aspect of Clean Slate was the instructions for two facial exercises that accompanied it. The stretches are touted to wake up the face and release tension. It really works. (Try doing The Lioness and The Scream in the mirror. Trust me, you'll laugh at yourself. Or scare yourself. I did a little bit of both.) I admit that it'll take a lot for me to abandon the face-care ritual that I've had since a visit to the cosmetic counter at Kaufmann's when I was a teenager. If you're looking for a Clean Slate, though, this would be a fine place to start.
I really like the ingredients in Clean Slate. We hear all about anti-aging ingredients, but I don't think I've seen a facial cleanser that touts proteins, omegas and prebiotics and probiotics.
These usually are ingredients we ingest, not use topically. This thin gel-like cleanser makes my face feel smooth, soft and clean. I do think, however, that it would work best on people with normal-to-dry facial skin, since the cleanser has four essential oils and a bit of an oily feel. People with oily skin like me probably do better with an oil-free, deep cleaner like Neutrogena.
Clean Slate is a great cleanser to wash off the makeup, dust and grease that accumulate throughout the day. Usually, after I wash my face with other cleansers, I need to use a cotton pad and eye makeup remover to target the remaining dregs of mascara under my eyes. Not so with Clean Slate, which manages to work its magic in a single wash. A good lathering of this high-protein cleanser leaves my skin firm and softly moisturized.
The second part of the package is a handy little booklet — "The Clean Slate of Confidence" — that explains a lot of the science behind skin care. But my favorite part is the step-by-step instructions for a facial fitness workout. It might feel silly, but it really does relax tension and eases the frowny lines between my eyes.
Clean Slate is a welcome addition to the popular Mama Mio product line.

CBO: Supreme Court Decision Will Decrease Cost of ACA
Between decreased Medicaid enrollment and increased health insurance subsidies, the federal government will save $84 billion implementing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) through 2022, according to new estimates from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
Between decreased Medicaid enrollment and increased health insurance subsidies, the federal government will save $84 billion implementing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) through 2022 as a result of the Supreme Court's decision on the law, according to estimates from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
CBO projected that 6 million fewer people will be enrolled in Medicaid after the Supreme Court essentially made the law's Medicaid expansion (to 133 percent of the federal poverty level) optional. Of those, 3 million are expected to gain insurance through state health exchanges (and receive a federal subsidy to do so), and 3 million are estimated to go uninsured.
In total, CBO expects 11 million to be covered by Medicaid (down from initial estimates of 17 million), and 25 million will participate in the exchanges (up from 22 million) by 2022.
Because of those shifts, the federal government is expected to spend $289 billion less for the Medicaid expansion, but an additional $210 billion on tax subsidies for individuals and families that obtain insurance through the health exchanges. Another $5 billion in other minor adjustments to the CBO's projections led to the $84 billion in estimated savings.
The CBO estimates operated under a number of assumptions, based on the various questions that states will ask as they consider voluntarily expanding Medicaid. For example, some states might not implement the expansion right away, or might only do so partially.
The CBO assumed that one-third of potentially newly eligible people would live in states that fully implement the expansion. Another 50 percent were projected to live in states that partially expanded Medicaid, and the rest were estimated to live in states that did not expand Medicaid at all.
The full report is below.

I liked the guy who said: "Subtraction by addition."
My favorite was when a poster stated that at least we didn't sign Brandon Jennings.
The only thing that thread is missing is a picture of Larry Bird with two phones.
He is being compared to Lance Stephenson by some of them: Another low IQ player that can't shoot. Lance Lite, basically.

Ok, my canner only has the one rack. It holds 7 or 8 quarts, can't remember exactly because I didn't do any canning last summer due to traveling. It's an older canner but works great. I did try the dishtowel method for boiling water canning in another large pot I have. It worked but the towel did float a bit. I am all for doing as much as I can at once. I try to be frugal and figure every little bit I can do to economize helps! Thank you! I look foward to learning more!

Re: Plot Table of functions does not distinguish colors
It is explained in the documentation that
Plot[f,{x,xmin,xmax}] has attribute HoldAll, and evaluates f only
after assigning specific
numerical values to x, so Plot only sees a single function as
argument, since the HoldAll initially prevents the Table function to
set up the list of functions.
Use Evaluate:
Plot[Evaluate@Table[Sin[n x], {n, 1, 3, 1}], {x, 0, 2 Pi}, PlotRange -
> All,
PlotStyle -> Thick]
