So technically this is my first halloween, as I was just a tiny thing last year. My brother is always telling me these "spooky" stories, but I don't believe a thing he says.
He says the scary wind whistling that we hear occasionally is the ghosts whirling by. He says the loud booms we hear every weekend is monsters coming to attack us. I say it's the fireworks coming from Disneyland. He says the king of all evil strikes when we hear loud noises and flashing lights when it's raining. I say it's thunder and lightning. I may be young, but he can't fool me. I ain't afraid of no ghosts!
This night was different though. The humans were sleeping, and we heard the rustling of papers, and twigs moving around. Buster popped up in fright. All I saw was pitch black and the white glow coming from his eyes.
"What was that??????" He sat right up, shaking like crazy.
"Oh get over it, wimp" I mumbled back. "I'm not tired but I'm trying to be good so the humans will stop yelling at me."
"Seriously, Dewey, I think something is here!" he started to get up as he shook, getting close to our mommy.
"Don't wake them Buster! They will get mad! I'll just go check it out, geez" I jumped off the bed and walked out to the hallway.
It was odd though, the sounds of papers and twigs got louder and louder as I walked towards the patio door. I admit, I was starting to wonder and got a little creeped out.
I walked out the doggy door... but wait, since when did we have a doggy door? "Oh well" I shrugged and went out.
"Um... he....hello?" I looked around..... I saw nothing.
"Is anyone...hh....here?" Silence.
"Hmm... I guess it was Buster's imagination after all! Wacky dog.... " I started to walk away... when I heard a heavy breathing sound.
"I said... is anyone....he....here?"
The breathing got louder. I got a little brave and crept up to where I heard the breathing. I still saw pitch black, but I saw a shade of red there too. I turned on the flashlight that was left outside by the door, for some odd reason.
To my horror... I saw a HUGE, red hourglass... on a HUGE black body.
"A BLACK WIDOW?!?!?!??!" The thing was bigger than I was!!! It was a mutant black widow!!!
I screamed as loud as I could! I barked and barked like crazy, no one even heard me! That, or they didn't care! I ran for the doggy door, but I slammed right into the glass!
"Where the heck did the doggy door go?!?!?!"
I avoided the black widow as it jumped towards me, left and right, dodging its every move! It finally broke the glass door enough for me to squeeze through. I ran in the house, but I could not see!
The black widow chased right after me, as it slammed right through the door, shattering it to pieces!
I ran as fast as my little puggy body could take me, panting as hard as I could. It seemed like the more I ran, the farther the bedroom got! The hallway would not end!!!
I screamed and barked, and barked, and barked...
I felt dizzy.
The black widow caught up, grabbed my whole body with one leg, and slammed me into its gigantic web. I was stuck! I could not move! It got closer to me... breathing loudly..... fangs showing.. and it's million eyes showing. It opened it's mouth, reached down for me..
I woke up!!!
I barked like crazy! I jumped on Buster repeatedly! I gnawled on his legs like a mad pug!
"What are you doing??!!" he yelled out!
"Paying you back for scaring me!" I swung a pillow at his head... and attempted to sleep again, but with no luck.
Okay.. so Saturday my human parents and Bubba's human parents decided to get together. First we all met at the dog park. We ran around for a little bit, but I didn't run around as much as I normally do. I guess that it was just too hot. After about an hour we all left and headed towards Bubba's house for the first time, for a bbq.
So we arrive, and Bubba and I are like best buddies now. We always had to be around each other. My human mommy compared it to two five year olds, who always have to be around the other one and do what the other one is doing, whatever that means.
The first floor was just a spot leading to the garage and the front door, which I thought was pretty neat. I had never been upstairs before. So I stumble up quickly, following Bubba, after they wipe our paws with paw wipes. The second floor lead to a bedroom, a bathroom, a closet, the living room, and the kitchen. There was a third floor leading to the extra bedroom and I'm not sure what else. I did run up with Bubba's dad a few times, but my mommy never went up there, so we are still unsure what all is up there, but we thought the layout of the apartment was great! My mommy is jealous because they live in an apartment in one of the cities that she loves, and we live in a condo in a medicore city. The other thing that she is jealous about is that it's bigger than our condo!! It's real nice. She wishes that we could live there, but now that we are owning it's not so easy.
So me and Bubba are running around like mad pugs, bouncing off the couch onto the other couch, bouncing off human legs and human bellys and whatever else. Well mommy had warned Bubba's daddy that I pee outside, and if a door is not open, leading to an area of dirt or rocks or grass, I don't warn her. She did tell him however, that I spin before I go so she could run off with me. The balcony was enclosed but no dirt or rocks or grass for me. She kept an eye on me but I didn't spin. After a few minutes we all hear Bubba's daddy say "Dewey!!!" my mommy looks, and here I am springing a leak on their very light colored floor, I stare at them as I go. Bubba's daddy Bill said, "Geez that's a lot!!" he cleans up after me with napkins, Resolve, and a steamer, even though my mommy said that she would do it.
Not too much longer I spring another leak!! My mommy freaks out and cleans up after me. She decided to catch me in time. She decides after a few minutes to take me out. (She had taken me out when we first got there but I didn't go of course) She puts my harness on and out we go. Bubba tried to follow me but they blocked him! I went like a good boy, and I run back up the stairs and Bubba is there to welcome me. Of course I follow my mommy to the bathroom and Bubba tried to as well, but he got blocked again. He was waiting for me of course.
Due to me and Bubba running around like mad pugs all night for 4 1/2 hours straight, we drank a ton of water, causing me to potty so often.
So after 3 times... 2 being on the carpet, I spring another leak, in my original spot of the first time. My mommy is getting very furious now and very embarrassed. She cleans it up again. She had tried to run me out to the balcony to finish but of course I stared at her blankly. The humans eat burgers, chicken kabobs, corn, and mashed taders. We are given a kong with spray cheese in it! Yum! Then, we get cooked chicken breast! Yummm!! Bubba is a very lucky pug, I just get stupid dog food!
The parents start to watch television and we run around like mad pugs still, bouncing off legs, and tummies again. My mommy puts my harness on again and takes me out while I proceed to pee again and even do a number 2. She was thankful that we at least avoided doing that in the house.
Bill put a pad on the floor with something that held it in place, in my original peeing spot. Bubba peed on his pads like a good boy, making me look even worse. My mommy stopped trying to train me on potty pads when I was real young because I would just rip them up and play with them. Well my mommy felt like I was just going to pee in another spot, but she was hoping that she was wrong.
They watch some more television, and my harness is now stuck on me as she was tired of putting it on and off. Before they get ready to go I decide to leave them a goodbye present before we left. I found a new spot and peed one last time in the hall, this was four times in the house now, on light carpet, two outside. My mommy was beyond embarrassed.
She was so mad at me, she told me they would probably never want us over there again because of me. I don't understand why, I didn't harm anyone. She kept telling them that she was sorry for her "demon dog" and my behavior. They kept telling her that it was okay. Now everyday since... it has been 3 now... she has apologized to them online about her dog's behavior!
We are supposed to meet them at the park this Saturday then have lunch with them at the restaurant that allows dogs! I am so excited.
I wonder if I will ever get to go to Bubba's house again? Probably not. :(
So my mommy had the day off! I was very happy about this. She had made plans with Marley and her mommy to go to the doggy park and to eat breakfast. We woke up early, and it was sunny already. Marley and her mommy drove up to the local KFC to pick us up so that we could carpool.
Stop #1 - Jack in the Box. So the mommies are obsessed with these new smoothies that Jack in the Box now sells. Mommy loves the strawberry banana ones, but this time she got the orange sunrise, which tastes like a 50 50 bar. Marley's mommy got the same. I was busy pesturing Marley since she was sitting on my mommy's left leg as I sat on the right. Not enough room for 2 pugs!!! I attempted to lick mommy's smoothie but licking the frost off the cup was the farthest I got.... selfish mommy.
Stop #2 - The doggy park. So we finally made it to the doggy park, where we were now allowed to run loose. Marley ran, or should I say trotted for about a minute or so before sitting next to her mommy, and keeping her phanny there for the rest of the visit. I ran off with all sorts of dogs.... every one that was there. A man brought in a psycho chihuahua... who was not scared of me! He kept lunging at me an chasing me off! I didn't know what to think or do.... the mean mommies thought it was friggin hilarious and laughed at me the whole time. We played for a bit longer before the mommies drug us out.
Stop #3 (Unplanned) - So now we are on our way to breakfast.... but Marley's mommy happened to miss it. We got lost in a giant mess of bike riders and a parade of all places. Bikers here and there, bikers were everywhere! (Bicycles, not motorcycles), people not paying attention, obviously not caring if they get hit or not! We pulled over by a house and Marley's mommy attempted to look up the address of the restaurant. No luck. Luckily one of the two guys directing traffic knew where it was and helped us out. We saw more bikers, and finally got out. We also saw a float getting ready... or maybe it was a vehicle for the parade? Who knows.
Stop #4 (The real #3) - We made it to the Park Bench Cafe. It was sunny out, a nice breeze, and not a wait! My mommy had the cinnamon roll french toast.... mmm... it had powdered sugar and cinnamon roll frosting! Marley's mommy had the Lumberjack meal... and Marley and I split chicken breast and a hot dog.... yum! They took us around in the grass, after Marley drank about a gallon of water, hoping that we would potty. They were unsuccessful, but I did do a #2! The mommies dragged us on the bench and took photos. Look, I am not a model... I do not need 200 photos taken of me! Just feed me and let me play!
Stop #5 - The Pet Store. So the mommies went to a pet store that my mommy had never been too. We were spoiled with bully sticks, chewwies, and treats!! I must say, we are prettttty spoiled. We finally got home about 1:30.. (we had left at 8:30). I was pooped. I slept.
My mommy and daddy went to daddy's mom's for a while, which Buster and I were NOT happy about. They finally got home about 9pm... as mommy was worried sick about Buster, knowing his fears on fireworks. Where they used to live the fireworks were bad and would go on until midnight or 1am. Here we live by Knott's Berry Farm and Disneyland. There were fireworks going off but not badly. They shut the door and turned the window AC on... to block off some noise. After about 10:30 mommy shut it off and went to bed. The fireworks were gone... a good thing about living on a busy street is that there is nowhere to shoot off fireworks, and the parks stop at a decent hour. I was not afraid of them fireworks at all!
And that my friends, his how I spent Independence Day.

INPOSDOM is the national postal service of the Dominican Republic and unfortunately, although things are getting better, is not known for its fast and efficient services. It takes at least a few weeks for your letter or postcard to arrive in the USA and even longer for Europe or other continents. It costs from RD$3 to North America and from RD$4 elsewhere for standard letters and postcards. Post offices generally are open from around 8:00am to 3:00pm, though in big cities and tourist resort areas there are sometimes longer hours and you can usually give your postcards are major hotels and resorts as well at all times. Stamps are available at post offices, but at many shops and kiosks and some hotels as well. Sending packages is not recommended through the official postal service, and it's much better to use good international courier companies like UPS, TNT or DHL.

Tony Lewis/Sue Kearslake purchased this apartment in 2003
Resort is custom made for family fun
We bought this property for its combination of sea views, well kept gardens and easy access to the beach and walking trails
Thank you for a lovely stay at your apartment. The apartment was very clean and tidy and for the price we paid we could not be happier. The apartment is in a great location only a short walk to the beautiful beach and restaurants. The highest compliment we can make is that we would stay here again and have already recommended this apartment to our friends and family.
Had a seven night stay in this apartment in late September. First floor apartment consisting of two twin rooms, bathroom and a combi-kitchen/dining/lounge area plus a small terrace at both front and back.
Due to Sat Nav issues had to call the owner for directions who was really helpful and friendly. Tip if staying here is to make sure you are at the right block of properties as they each share the same house number and all look the same! If facing the sea the blue water slides should be to your left - not right as we found out!
Unlike many properties we've stayed at before this one comes complete with a great selection of films, music and toys for the beach. We had the odd rainy afternoon yet entertaining our three year old was never a problem. Neither was entertaining ourselves once we'd come back from town as it was his bedtime - something that trumps this apartment over staying in a hotel at a comparative price.
If planning on cooking/eating in the kitchen is well stocked with cutlery, plates and equipment and the cooker was spotlessly clean. It's a compact area but was great to find a proper oven and hob rather than the two ring hobs you often find in holiday apartments. We also made use of the washing machine that is in the apartment.
Town is a short walk away and the restaurants are all family friendly places with staff who pay attention to kids which is always a nice touch. Beach is an additional five minute walk although we chose to drive seeming the car park was free. There is also a choice of two local pools with bars and sunbeds (fees apply) that each have a child friendly pool - we preferred Club Jaime which was a two minute walk away from the apartment.
The supermarkets in Son Bou are pretty basic so you are better off stopping in at one of the two located back in Mao. If you can bear it having flown and are hiring a car we found two located just off the main road to the airport. If coming from the airport turn right at the round about with the big spike monument on it and supermarket is at the bottom of the hill on left side. Or right at the next roundabout signed for the industrial area and it is a couple of blocks down on the right side. NB next block from Goldcar rentals if using them.
Overall liked the resort and this apartment would be ideal for anyone coming here.
We had a delightful stay at this apartment. It was perfectly located, right on the front with a great view across the nature reserve and bay. The apartment was so very well equipped and clean, which was just lovely. We will definitely be staying at this apartment again on a next visit to Son Bou.
Thank you Tony and Sue for a lovely stay.
Faye and Family.
This was our 3rd time in Tony and Sue's apartment and our family of 2 adults and 2 children (now 15 and 11) have had a lovely time yet again. The new white windows make the apartment much lighter and look great. We love the location of the apartment with it's lovely views both from the front out over the nature reserve to the sea and the rear with views up the hill with it's many beautiful villas and starlit skies. The apartment has everything we need from films for the children, lots of books, cds and wifi connection which is better than ours at home.
We struggle to find good restaurant food in resort but find that the apartment is so well equipped that we often cook for ourselves which makes for some lovely laid back evenings when we don't always feel like going out.
Correspondence from Tony is always prompt and any queries or issues are dealt with quickly and efficiently. I can confirm that the management company came to rectify the noisy fan (as mentioned in a previous review) during our stay...although it really wasn't an issue for us but obviously something that the owners have acted upon very quickly.
I am sure we will be in touch again in the future to rebook.
This apartment comes with everything you could need for a holiday, from hair clips to sun parasols, from children beach toys to sharp knifes in the kitchen. I don't think there was anything we needed.
We had an issue with the Internet, I spoke to the manager and within 10 mins she was around to sort it.
Yes the door does stick on the floor and the kitchen fan does squeak, I am sure if it bothered me enough the management would sort it, perhaps the owners will direct the management team to sort it. ( it did not bother us) We have a family of 5, 3 boys aged 14,12,8 and we did not find the apartment too small.
The place was lovely and clean, this property benefits from double glazing through out. No air conditioning which is stated on the advert. It's 33 degrees C out here and after speaking at the poolside with other guests it would seem very few have air conditioning and like us they had no where to escape the heat. Saying that, going from super cooled to 33 degrees is not the best idea either. If I had to suggest one thing it would be for the front balcony facing the sea to have a retractable shade in the roof, (like the majority of 1st floor apartments ) this would keep the direct sun off the balcony and keep the front room slightly cooler.
The complex itself is very well maintained, no litter and clean bins everywhere. Club San Jamie is the nearest pool/ bar area it's free to use unless you hire beds €3 per bed per day. There is a supermarket nearby but a cheaper one further in the resort, likewise their is a wonderful bakery up the hill near the bars etc that sells wonderful pastries, every morning my oldest would bring back some.
Son Bou beach has to be one of the best in the med, clean safe and really warm. We also did the night market in Alaior and a trip down to Es Castell to see their fiesta and fireworks display; both worth the effort.
The resort is purposely built for family holiday makers, there is very little traditional Spain here, we had to go exploring to get real Menorca. There is regular bus services but I think to get the best of the island a car is needed.
All in all we had a great time here staying at this apartment, the owners answered any question we had and gave wonderful advice which was greatly appreciated.
Our thanks to Tony and Sue X
Tony and Sue were very accommodating as we only needed a short stay for a couple of days. Property on arrival was very clean and plenty of films to watch for all but was handy for the children.
Only a couple on minor points. The ceiling fan in the kitchen was squeaky and the front door need planing on the bottom as it graunches on the floor unless you lift it slightly.
No need to reduce the stars though as this was a lovely retreat especially with the Restraunt and pool within a stones throw. If you buy drinks at the Restraunt you can use their pool all day!
Just back from spending 2 weeks in Tony and Sue's fantastic apartment. The apartment was well-equipped, clean and more than comfortable for my wife, 2 children (aged 9 and 11) and I. The grounds of the San Jaime complex are very well kempt and the pool in zone 4 next to the apartment was clean and had life-guards/first aiders constantly present, making it perfect for families, plus the water slide was certainly a hit! The food and evening entertainment in the San Jaime club was really good and exceeded our expectations.
The information provided by Tony and Sue was excellent and we tried many of their recommendations for restaurants and also for trips out in our hire car. The Ses Garces Beach bar was our favourite to watch the sun go down in an idyllic setting and the food in the Restaurante Compostela in Son Bou, as recommended, was first class.
The apartment is only a 10 min walk to the beach and whilst the beach was busy in some sections it was very easy to find quieter spots. The gently shelving beach made it ideal for the kids who also enjoyed snorkelling and swimming in the sea.
The location of the apartment in Son Bou also made it a perfect base for exploring the island and we had enjoyable trips to Mahon, where we went on the glass-bottomed boat round the harbour, Cuitadella, Monte Toro for fantastic views of the island, Fornells and also a walk along the beach to Santo Tomas. Whilst we had a hire car, there is a bus stop close to the apartment, so a hire car isn't a must have. The fact that the apartment is at the front of the complex made for great sea views and we tended to eat lunch on the balcony making full use of the nearby bakery and many a late evening was also spent sitting on the balcony enjoying a night cap or two!
Tony and Sue had provided games, lots of DVD's and books which meant that our kids were happy to stay in the apartment for an hour or so after lunch during the hottest part of the day, this also meant that they still had lots of energy to play on the beach until late in the evening and to enjoy the entertainment in the San Jaime club to the full.
There are many more places for us to visit on the island and things to do for the kids than we managed during our stay, the apartment was a home from home and our holiday was everything we could have wanted and more – we would love to go back in future.
The apartment is set amongst spacious landscaped gardens, close to Son Bou's superb child friendly beach, the longest on Menorca. All resort amenities are within walking distance. Son Bou is a firm favourite with families and couples due to the friendly village atmosphere, golden sand dunes, sun and sea. The resort comprises: 3 swimming pools, 3 supermarkets, a satisfying selection of good bars and restaurants, childrens' playgrounds, nightly indoor disco & twice weekly entertainment programme (June - Sept). For those wishing to explore the island, Son Bou is well placed with easy access to all island attractions. Locally you will find a tourist train, bus services and several car hire firms. In addition, Son Bou has been designated as a 'Site of Special Interest' due to the presence of historic and ecological sites in the vicinity.

Mercer Windows to Close its Doors
Window & Door
March 25, 2014
March 25, 2014
Mercer Industries, the Oregon-based manufacturer of Mercer Windows, is decreasing its manufacturing operations, citing the lingering effects of the recent recession. Once all existing orders are fulfilled, the company plans to close, affecting approximately 70 employees at its Beaverton, Ore., facility. The company reports that shareholders, including the Mercer family, "have gone to extraordinary lengths to sustain the company during the recent economic downturn, but the company does not have the scale to compete in an increasingly competitive market dominated by much larger corporations."
The Mercer board of directors commissioned a third-party business and financial analysis of its manufacturing and sales operations, which concluded that an orderly winding down of operations was the only course of action to preserve the remaining value in the organization's assets, including several proprietary window design technologies. The company hopes to sell its manufacturing assets but cannot continue normal operations during the search for a qualified buyer, it reports.
Mercer Industries is not declaring bankruptcy and carries almost no debt, company officials report. The organization will honor its sales, warranty, supplier, employee and other commitments, and believes it possesses the necessary capital required to support these obligations.

A-body nominated the cache and said "I'd like to nominate The Gauntlet - Child's Play by Seldon
This is a well executed 6 stage multi in the beautiful Canon River Wilderness Area between Northfield and Faribault. Like the title says, child's play, all the stages could be completed by a child yet still challenging for an adult. It involves a 3 mile hike, and approx 3 hours of your time, but talk to anyone that has completed the "gauntlet" and all will agree that this is a must do. There are also 2 other gauntlet multi's in this park along with about 30 other caches so there is plenty to do."
Congratulations to seldon as well as all those that were nominate!

Well, it really is a great feeling to push that final "submit" button after you've uploaded the cover, the file, and all of the metadata and other information that Amazon asks for. And behold – only an hour later, my second book, titled The Lafayette Campaign, a Tale of Deception and Elections, magically appeared on line. What a great feeling.
Now, don't everyone just run out and order it at the same time. Well, ahem, on the other hand, who's stopping you?

Serve my country, swear an oath to protect it, pay my taxes, fly old glory in the front yard, love and protect my family, honor the vets before me and help fellow americans in need.
By definition my country now calls me a radical
After 16 years, no need to pull my weapon for defense. With one pull against a loose Pit Bull, no shots fired.
Drawn twice, never fired.
"Engage your brain before you engage your weapon" - James "Mad Dawg" Mattis
About ten years ago I lived in a rural area in a two-story duplex apartment. I lived upstairs, and had a nice deck with a gate at the top of the steps. I had a downstairls neighbor, a college girl, and my landlord lived across the driveway in "the big house" My beagle, Maggie, used to like to sleep on the deck in the summer. She really just liked to be outside all the time. So, it's like 2 a.m. and I wake up to her going BERSERK! She doesn't really do that, ever, so I'm alarmed. I grabbed my 870 and shoved some steel Ts into it (goose hunting loads) and head for the porch. I open the door, the dog runs in between my feet, and I look up to see a coyote clearing the gate. One shot, took his head off, big bloody mess. My downstairs neighbor didn't see the humor, but my landlord thought it was awesome. He was mobile cav in 'Nam.
I've had to draw several times on duty. I had to fire in self defense once; five shots, four hits. I've had two other close calls. I've never drawn or fired off duty.
Only drawn mine once,and no on the firing.
In 72 years, including Army time, I have never pointed a loaded weapon at another person. I hope to continue that record.
Carrying since 1997, drawn once, never fired.
Does police work count ?
Have pulled a handgun many times and have been involved in two shootings...one off-duty and one on-duty...'nuff said.
Yes, and it wan't my idea of a good time. When someone punches you on the chin accusing you of stealing their cat (yes, a cat.) The idiot had my Kel-Tec P-11 stuffed in his face. He was arrested, and eventually convicted, on a misdemeanor charge of Assault IV. The man is an alcoholic fool, and has suffered two strokes since the altercation.) It is likely he will, sooner or later, be taking that eternal "dirt nap."

Hey friends! Today marks the beginning of another Digit-al Dozen week, and this week's theme is BOOKS! I was nervous about this week because most of the manis I do are patterns, not actual pictures, and I wanted to be able to do some book-based manis that involved pictures. I've done two for this week so far and I'm actually really happy with how they both turned out! The first one I did was based on this cover of The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger.
I started these nails with a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, still the most perfect almost-white there will ever be. I use 3 coats, but if you do thicker coats you could definitely get away with two (my sister only uses two!).
My little detailing brush that I usually use met an untimely end when a bottle of white polish spilled inside my travel nail box and solidified all over the brush bristles. So for this mani, I took a little detailing brush from Born Pretty Store and cut it down smaller. I used that brush to freehand the orange shapes that form the horse and his mane in Essence Wake Up!. I wanted to hold onto the general flowy feeling of the horse image on the cover, but not stick exactly to the image... I'm sure you can tell that the image doesn't really flow perfectly from nail to nail haha.
When the orange was done, I was tempted to call it a day because I liked the way the weird abstract orange and white shapes looked. But instead I took the same tiny detailing brush and Super Black Lacquers Murdered Out and painted on the patterns of the horse's face, body, mane, and the sketchy cityscape in the background of the book cover.
Here's a ~*~convenient~*~ pinnable image for you guys! I've never done a collage thing like this with my nails and their inspiration but I felt like these probably deserved it because I'm really happy with how they look compared to the cover of the book!
As y'all know, I very rarely freehand paint things like these and I was pretty nervous about the way they'd turn out. Butttt I'm so happy with them! And they were really fun to do, which is an added bonus. What do you guys think?

Heeling in Pots | An Easy Method for Starting Seed in Spring or SummerPin It
You've seen how I WINTER SOW seeds, and for the most part, they were successful this year. The poppies, sunflowers, sweet peas and morning glories popped right up, as did the carrots, pumpkins and corn. Love in a Mist disappeared on me and nothing ever happened to those 2 containers the babies knocked upside down! :) OH well...
In the spring and summer, the weather is too warm for sowing in tiny pots and pellets outdoors because I would have to water 3 times a day, and I would kill them in a heartbeat. Let me rephrase that...I HAVE killed seedlings in a heartbeat because I didn't water enough in the spring or summer.
I COULD just direct sow a lot of the plants that I am seeding. Carnations, Pumpkins and Baby's Breath are known to do well when you just throw them on prepared soil. The problem is that I don't know what carnation or baby's breath seedlings look like and I can't determine whether my plants or weeds are growing. SO, I grow them in pots where I know the plants that are appearing are my new seedlings. As far as the vegetable seeds go, I bought a bunch of packets of old (4-5 years old) seed that I don't know is viable. I tossed them into pots to see if anything turns up. If it doesn't, I simply put more seed into the prepared pot and I haven't wasted space in my vegetable garden.
So my method is simple, and easy and best of all WORKS. I simply "heel in" larger pots to a partially shaded bed. What is heeling in? When you bring home a bunch of plants that you don't have the time to properly plant, or it is not the right season to plant them, you simply dig a small trench, lay the plants in diagonally and cover up the entire pot with soil or mulch. When you "heel in" a pot, it is the same basic idea. You are "planting" the pot to retain moisture and coolness for your seedlings.
These pots are found a home in this neglected bed. It was recently home to 3 of those hostas, an overgrown mallow and a small colony of various weeds. The bed is fairly shady, but does get morning sun, so it is perfect for starting seeds in the heat. I transplanted a bunch of hosta into the bed that will also help shade the bottoms of the pots, keeping them cool.
This is an example of one of the carnation pots that I started a few weeks ago. There are lots of little seedlings with roots about 2" long.
I simply grab them as far down on the stem as I can and gently pull them out after a rain or watering. Then they are transplanted into the garden and I know what they look like, so I don't pull them out!

Growing demand for shares from private investors helped stockbroker Charles Stanley to produce a hefty 31% hike in revenues over the past three months.
Despite the FTSE 100 falling by 3% from the start of April to the end of June, Stanley's funds under management declined by just 0.3% to £17.66 billion.
Revenues for the same period rose to £28.2 million on a year earlier thanks to higher fee and commission income.
Although the market dropped by 1.5% during the second half of June, the firm said that had been quickly recovered during this month and its optimism for the rest of the year "is still a touch higher than it was this time last year".

This week my daughter, granddaughters and I will be baking all of our Christmas cookies. We've started off with a beautiful Christmas Tree Cookie Stack that utilizes my favorite sugar cookie recipe. I've wanted to make a cookie stack like this for the longest time, and I'm thrilled with how this turned out. It's a fabulous way to turn ordinary sugar cookies into a stunning centerpiece or special gift. I hope you like it!
To make this you'll need your favorite sugar cookie recipe (I've shared mine below), a graduated set of star shaped cookie cutters, royal icing (recipe below), and white sparkling sugar sprinkles.
To make the sugar cookies, I used the same recipe I've been using for probably 20 years. It comes from a McCalls Cookbook I received as a gift back in 1987 (I know this because of the inscription). I used this Ateco 6-Piece Graduated Star Cookie Cutter Set which I purchased from Amazon for $11.31, although any graduated star shaped cookie cutters would work.
Sugar Cookie Recipe
4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
1. Sift flour with baking powder, soda, salt, and nutmeg; set aside.
2. In large bowl of electric mixer, at medium speed, beat butter, sugar, and egg until light and fluffy.
3. At low speed, beat in sour cream and vanilla until smooth.
4. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until well combined.
5. With rubber scraper, form dough into a ball. Wrap in waxed paper or foil; refrigerate several hours or over night.
6. Divide dough into 4 parts. Refrigerate until ready to roll out.
7. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease cookie sheets.
8. On well-floured surface, roll dough, one part at a time, 1/4 inch thick.
9. With floured star shaped cookie cutters, cut out cookies (minimum 3 to 4 of each size). Using spatula, carefully place cookies 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. If desired, re-roll trimmings and cut.
10. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden. Remove to wire rack; cool.
To Make Royal Icing you will need the following:
1 pound minus 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
5 tablespoons meringue powder
1/2 cup cool water
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, and mix on high speed for 7 to 8 minutes, until stiff.
To Create the Christmas Tree Cookie Stack:
Using a total of 18 cookies, I made my Christmas tree rather tall, but you can use fewer cookies and make it smaller if you like. I used 3 or 4 of each size of the six star shaped cookies.
Begin by selecting one of the largest cookies for the base. Using the royal icing as glue, stack another cookie of the same size or larger on top of the base cookie. You'll rotate each cookie slightly, so that the points are exposed. Repeat this process until your tree is complete, using smaller cookies as you work your way up. Place and glue one of the smallest stars in an upright position, at the top of the tree.
Once your tree is built, using a leaf tip, add royal icing snow to the tip of each star. Sprinkle royal icing with white sparkling sugar sprinkles. Do this as you work your way up. If you wait, the icing will harden and the sugar sprinkles will not stick.

Pace report shows dramatic drop in IT jobs
- October
- 22
A new report by Pace University shows the job market in the region for jobs in the information technology, or IT, sector shrunk dramatically during the third quarter, with few exceptions.
The decline was most pronounced in Westchester, Pace said, where the IT job market had its worst quarterly slide since Pace created its IT job index three years ago.
The Pace/SkillPROOF IT Job Index dropped more than 100 points during the third quarter, in contrast to the strong growth of over 40 points reported last quarter.
In Westchester, of the 11 job categories, only Network Systems and Data Communications Analysts exhibited growth with a slight upturn near the end of the quarter, said Pace, which has campuses in Pleasantville, White Plains and New York City.
The IT job market in Manhattan was better, Pace said, falling just 30 points.
The full report can be read at www.pace.edu/PSII.

WHEN Amour screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012 - where it won Michael Haneke his second Palme d'Or in three years - much of the foyer buzz was a general marvelling at what seemed to be a mellowed, gentler, more compassionate Michael Haneke.
Haneke was the author of Funny Games (1997), a film he made twice - in German and, 10 years later, in English - about a family being terrorised, tortured and torn apart by thrill killers. He was the maestro of sadomasochistic piano teachers, random assassins, screen-numbed boys who kill for fun and fanatical children who beat up weaklings at God's supposed command. As one critic put it, Haneke has always made stories about hate.
That hate could be urban or rural, within the family or part of the sweep of history - ''hate fuelled by post-colonial racism [Hidden, 2005], hate caused by racism pure and simple [Code Unknown, 2000], misogyny or class jealousies, misunderstandings, paranoia and anxiety'', the critic continued - and Haneke has been much hated in return. He ''rapes the audience'', one of his naysayers wrote. Yes, Haneke retorted, he was ''raping them into independence''. And yet there he was in Cannes, presenting a film all about love.
Amour is the story of Georges and Anne, former music teachers whose seamlessly elegant lives are ripped down the middle when Anne has a series of strokes. As her mind wanders, her speech slurs to a stop and her bodily functions become messy. Georges struggles to care for her until he can bear her suffering no longer. We know what will happen - her death is foreshadowed in the opening scene, lest we try to fool ourselves there is some chance of a last-moment reprieve - but until that moment, the film is a portrait of daily devotion.
Veteran critic David Thomson called Amour ''a masterpiece, not just the best [film] of the year, but one of the best ever … [and] so simple in form that its great depth of feeling is easily measured''. The idea it held a ''depth of feeling'' was bolstered by Haneke's uncharacteristic admission that the story was grounded in his own life. Some years before, he had lost a beloved aunt - one of the three women who raised him in a small Austrian town, Wiener Neustadt - to cancer. ''The thing that interested me was the question: how to manage the suffering of someone you love?'' Haneke says. ''That's the thing that touched me, that I wanted to investigate.''
His aunt committed suicide at 92, having previously asked him to help her. He had refused.
Not everyone was entranced by Amour, especially those critics who had made something of a fetish of hating Haneke and his works. In The New Yorker, Richard Brody's coruscating review pointed out that Georges and Anne were shown in extremis, but remained unknown. ''He stays [with a few signal and fake exceptions] resolutely outside their minds, filming the exterior details of their lives with a repressed, even a constipated style - mainly static frames from a reserved middle distance, holding in emotion as well as information, keeping from viewers what he knows about the characters and what the characters know about themselves.''
All that is true. In direct contradiction to what he sees as manipulative Hollywood convention, Haneke sets out to avoid psychology, deter conclusions, skirt explanations, choose actors who are prepared to keep a good deal back - visibly simmering but never allowed to roil or bubble - and provide space for the audience to work out meanings, backstories and moral implications. Brody gets all that. He just doesn't like it. And he doesn't like it, of course, because he believes it is unfeeling. The idea that Haneke eschews feeling, however, is mistaken; the failure to feel is the core subject of his first three feature films. He describes The Seventh Continent (1989), Benny's Video (1992) and 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance (1994) as ''reports of the progression of the emotional glaciation of my country''. In all three films, a general sense of alienation finds a focus in murder: in Benny's Video, a game-obsessed teenager kills his neighbour with a stun gun ''to see how it is''. The want of emotion is catastrophic.
Years later, in The White Ribbon (2009), Haneke gives the same ruthless human disconnect a historic context: a series of punishment crimes in a small German village just before World War I turns out to be the work of children who, clearly, will be good Nazis one day.
Haneke was born in Munich in 1942, although he grew up in Austria; war guilt is his generation's great, even only, real subject. For anyone who has been able to make moral choices in life, he says, ''the question of good and evil is immediately present, and also the question of how to live with something that you've done, how to assume responsibility''.
His cerebral approach to film form, too, invites charges of spurious intellectualism. It is a very different interest, however, from that of director Quentin Tarantino, often cited as his polar opposite. Haneke says he has no interest in genre films precisely because their forms and conventions are so obvious and predictable. ''I know right away what it will boil down to. I also try to build models in my films, but ones that are 'filled with the world', where the effect is not just metaphorical but steeped in a verifiable reality.'' It is these slivers of experience that express compassion.
But Haneke certainly tries to avoid analysing what he shows, believing that to give all the answers, Hollywood style, is to belittle the audience.
Haneke has always made stories about hate
In an interview with French journal Cahiers du Cinema about Benny's Video, he said, ''I always want to leave open the answer to the question, 'Why did someone do something?' In this case, [any] answer is only there to reassure and to calm the viewer. To say, 'His mummy didn't love her little boy enough,' is ridiculous. That's not it. I think the reason for a crime or an accident is always much more complex than what you can describe in 70 minutes.''
That epigram is certainly the crux of Amour; it is also true that its view of love is not exactly cosy. Georges is angry and lonely; his love for his wife, as Thomson observes, is ''nearly insane''. The two of them are peculiarly selfish in their suffering, conspiring to exclude their daughter (Isabelle Huppert) as they immure themselves in their Paris flat.
Haneke, who is quite an old dog at 70, certainly doesn't believe he's up to any new tricks. ''It's the same filmmaker making the films,'' he says. ''It's a question of the theme that you deal with.'' And given the ways of the world as he sees it, he should be getting back to hate films any minute.
■ Amour opens on February 28. The Academy Awards are announced on February 24.

Most have for AM3 owners 09/29/2009
This review is from: Enzotech Type-X AM2 Retention Modules
allows mounting of aftermarket HSF on AM3 board without blocking ram slots.
easy to install
Other Thoughts:
absolute necessity for AM3 owners. Got this to install a dark knight on a M4A79XTD EVO and still be able to utilize all my ram slots. Used instructions by "some guy" and they were right on.
Just be careful screwing back into the retention mount when mounting the HSF, the plastic tends to strip easily. Best to buy a couple of these, nice to have.

Do female dogs change much after they are spayed?
My dog was recently spayed. Up until then she never barked. Now she barks at everything. Is this normal behavior after being spayed? I also wanted to know if they tend to gain weight after spaying.
Asked by

Best Answer
How long has it been? Could she still be recovering? Normally they are more settled and would bark less. I would give her some time.
One confusing thing about the traditional 6 months spay/neutering thing is that the puppies have reached most of their adult size by then and are maturing in other ways too. Much of my experience is with the 16 puppies we have raised for a dog guide school. They are left intact until after a year old and they go to to the school to begin their training. I see many changes in them after 6 months.
They need less food then, and will gain weight if not cut back. Intact or fixed, there is an easy system to judge body condition to guide feeding levels. Charts are only a starting point. See www.longliveyourdog.com
Aster answered on Apr 13th.
Other Answers
Each dog has it's own reaction to being fixed. I have never heard of the barking thing before, perhaps it will go away after a while. They are feeling a lot different now that their -stuff- is gone and not pumping their harmones and what not into their bodies, so maybe barking is a way to cope with it. I'm not an expert. Most dogs tend to become much more relaxed and docile, and yes, some dogs do tend to gain weight after being fixed.
My sister has a corgi who was a skinny little thing (15 pounds at a year and a half) you could feel her bones. She was so high strung and barked at everything and freaked out over her food like it was going to eat her! She eventually got her fixed and now she is very relaxed and sleeps normal dog hours and has reached a healthy weight of 22 pounds. She looks great and her disposition is as well. Spaying her was the best thing she could have done for her. Just give it some time. It took 3 months for my twin's corgi to change for the better. Good luck!

Early in the week the five-star prospect set Thursday as his decision day and since then the Clarksville (Tenn.) Northeast standout has kept everyone in the recruiting game guessing.
On Thursday afternoon Poythress made the call for Kentucky.
"I just wanted to go to a place where I can get better and a place I feel comfortable at," Poythress said when asked about his decision.
"I've just been thinking about it for a while and it just kind of clicked," he added.
Poythress, who also strongly considered Florida, Memphis and Vanderbilt, took his official to Kentucky during midnight madness.
"It was pretty exciting," he said of his trip. "Their fans are pretty passionate. I just thought I could get better at Kentucky."
Poythress, a 6-foot-7 wing prospect, is Kentucky's third commitment of the 2012 recruiting class. He joins five-star recruit Archie Goodwin and four-star prospect Willie Cauley.
"It's a pretty good recruiting class with Archie and Willie," Poythress said. "I know them a little bit. I played with Archie a little bit at Global."
With Poythress' commitment, Kentucky jumps to No. 2 in Scout.com's 2012 recruiting class rankings. The Wildcats finished No. 1 in the past three recruiting class rankings.
Poythress ranks No. 16 overall in the 2012 class.

Until I can get to everycatt PURR-sonally, I want to send a big shout-out "THANK YOU!" to everypurr who wrote or left me a rosie or gift for my birthday the other day. I have some of the nicest, most thoughtful furriends on Catster and MomKatt was really touched by everyone's messages & gifts.
We can't thank you enough for thinking of me.
Love & purrs,
MomKatt is sad. Today would've been my 11th birthday. She misses me very much, still.
I'm glad Selina's there. We didn't get along when I was going through my last few months on Earth, but MomKatt has told people that, more and more, she acts so much like me that it's like she still DOES have a part of me there with her. I didn't NOT like Selina - I just didn't feel like myself those last few months and MomKatt thinks that Selina's appearance in our house coincided with me starting to feel worse from the lymphoma and ... well, anyway ... you get the idea. Otherwise, we'd have probably had a ball playing with each other.
I miss you, too, MomKatt, and one day, you'll get another little Ruddy Boy to love & spoil as you loved & spoiled & cherished me.
I'm always just a thought away ... I love you MomKatt ...
Your ruddy boy

The year 2012 brought a significant amount of growth in enterprise use of cloud services but did it fulfill our expectations? With just five weeks left in the year, it's time to reflect on our predictions for this market in 2012. Back in November 2011 we said that the cloud market was entering a period of rebellion, defiance, exploration, and growth, not unlike the awkward teenage years of a person's life. The market certainly showed signs of teen-like behavior in 2012, but many of the changes we foresaw, it appears, will take several years to play out.

We published the Business Network concept a month ago with this report: BUSINESS NETWORKS WILL PUSH THE CLOUD BEYOND IT
It's now my pleasure to share the definition on my public blog above. You'll see that the real-time sharing is an interesting characteristic of the Business Network concept. Actually, cloud computing and the further development of multitenancy architectures into a "collaborative tenancy" are an important enabler for Business Networks. Traditional B2B vendors, middleware vendors, and PaaS vendors are eager to get a share in the emerging world of cloud enterprise collaboration.
But, the first step is with the CIOs: They have to identify these business scenarios where a trust-relationship-model can save manual effort or stimulate totally new business models. This helps CIOs finally deliver the vision of Business Technology, which innovates their companies' core business and not just the way they run IT.
Forrester clients can now download the webniar to this topic here: BUSINESS INNOVATION WITH BUSINESS NETWORKS IN THE CLOUD -- A CIO'S CALL!
You'll see in the right column next to this post an POLL. Please let us know your opinion about Business Networks and if it makes sense for you at all. Thanks!

I've been writing about platform-as-a-service (PaaS) since the beginning of 2009, and we published our first Forrester Wave™ on the PaaS market about 18 months ago. While the lines between IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS are blurring in the minds of some end users and developers, delivering PaaS requires a lot more intellectual property on the part of the cloud provider. IaaS is "just" the offering of an industrialized infrastructure service — but full PaaS service turns the cloud provider basically into a real software vendor or VAR of a decent stack of software platform components.
The market has undergone amazing changes since 2009 and the market landscape has been shaken up considerably since the last Forrester Wave. Why? A number of vendors have joined the crowd from three different directions:

Fujitsu's annual Fujitsu Forum attracted about 13.000 in Tokyo and even about 10.000 people over the last two days in Munich. Fujitsu's strength is still the competitive hardware portfolio in the class of IBM and HP. And similar to HP, Fujitsu used to have a narrow and focused software portfolio, which offered value very close to their hardware. The FlexFrame infrastructure management product is a traditional example of this strategy. But, before we go into FlexFrame, I have to attest that Fujitsu's software portfolio has become richer and broader:
Axway just announced it will acquire the security specialist Vordel; and you might ask, does this make sense at all?
I do believe it does!
Actually, I was personally evaluating security vendors as an acquisition target for middleware vendors and B2B integration companies a number of times over the last five years as a Forrester analyst (and before).
The need to modernize security around integration scenarios becomes more important than ever:

This week Wal-Mart announced that it would put significant weight behind the new Boxee TV box, a $99 set-top box that competes with the market-leading Apple TV and the runner-up Roku boxes. Wal-Mart also sells the Apple TV and Roku devices, so it might not seem like a big deal, but it is. Because Wal-Mart is going to promote Boxee TV with in-store displays and outbound marketing support. Why? Because in addition to the regular apps like Hulu, Netflix, and the rest, Boxee gives Wal-Mart customers three things they can't get from Apple or Roku:


text: Whenever I travel, I always pack my bag filled with Fairytale Brownies and I also never let an act of kindness go unnoticed. On a recent trip to Kauai, after a very long day of travel, lay-overs, lack of sleep, and hunger pangs, I finally arrived at my destination! However; I arrived 4 hours prior to check-in. I kindly asked Ana, the front desk clerk if there was any way possible I could get an early-in. Ana informed me the resort was at 100% capacity and most likely an early check in would be impossible but she would check to see what she could do. After about a 5 minute wait, Ana returned and said, "Your room is now ready with a complimentary upgrade"! I immediately reached in my bag and handed Ana some Fudgy Chocolate Brownies along with the warmest Mahalo! This was an amazing act of kindness and outstanding customer service by Ana! I can't think of a better way to say "Mahalo" than with yummy gourmet brownie gifts! Kudos to Ana and her staff for an amazing vacation!

Mother of missing man has new hope to find son
The search for Robert Pillsen-Rahier
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - The Mother of Robert Pillsen-Rahier has gained new hope to find her son after three missing women were discovered in Cleveland after vanishing from their homes nearly a decade ago. Jean Rahier-Langness talked to me on the phone from her Kansas home saying, "It has restored hope to find Robert. I started crying when I found out that those three women had been found."
Robert Pillsen-Rahier vanished in 1990 from a now closed Colorado Springs Care Facility. His mother, Jean never believed he just took off. She's also never given up the search for him. He would be 39 years old this year.
Springs Police Detective Ron Lopez hasn't given up hope to find Robert, either. He is a one man cold case missing persons unit trying to heat up the investigations. Jean Rahier-Langness keeps giving him information to update NAMUS. It is a website with the latest medical, law enforcement, family and coroner information to determine if someone who has been found elsewhere is Robert or a different missing person. Jean told me that Detective Lopez has recently been in contact with her to get more DNA and dental record information to update NAMUS and the search for Robert.
I asked Jean, "If you had a message to say to your son right now what would it be?" Jean told me, "I love you so much Robert. Please, please please come home. It's been very difficult. It feels like the Grand Canyon has been inside of me because my son is missing and it's hard to fill."

5.0 or svt?
Damn why dose everyone always wana race me or drive my car?
I have camaros and 240sx guys sayin they can out corner me?!?!
Now at school I have some guy in a late 80s 5.0 with 3:73 gears nothin else and thinks he will stomp my ass? But I've been in those cars they got torque but damn they are slow when they speed up. I dont race very offten or even drive hard but I really wana shut him up should I try to take him or hold it off till I get a flash and orp?
Dont wana get smoked by a car with 180k miles on it and rusted to hell!
thats funny just find a twisty road and shut them up
they're slow when they speed up eh? I know your svt could out-handle all of those (unless the 240 guy is a pro drifter in which case he would hand your a$$ to you), but from a dig you'll probably not beat any of those three. windy road man, thats where it's at.
Yeah the 240 aint pro but he drifts his cars a turd though, and I think he would be the only one I might get off the line, everyone at my school wants me and the 5slow to meet at the track but his car wont make it there ha,
Is it autocross where the svt likes to play? cause if you get caught racing in houston you go to the slammer
unless he has the SR20DET engine swap, or the a turbo on his stock KA engine, you'll have no problem beating the 240..............they're pretty slow stock................it's funny how some people will act like ass holes to you just b/c you have SVT on your car...........
the 5.slow will hand your ass to you in straight line, but take it in the twisties, he'll be off the road in a ditch by the second turn
itll be a good race against the 5.0. Take it to the highway too...watch the tables turn then. Even more so...take ALL of them two some nice S turns, and say goodbye the their sorry asses, lol
My friend has an 88 5.0 with a BBK cold air intake, Under drive Pulleys, and Ford Racing wires, its a 5 speed and I beat him from a dig and from a roll. When I didnt have the tune on my car he used to beat me from a dig or a slow roll, but now that I have the tune and the ORP he cant beat me. I dont pull on him hard or anything but once we get up to speed Im a good 2-3 cars ahead. He just put a new Hays clutch in now though and I havent raced him since. He is getting either 3.73s or 4.10s soon also. I hope he goes with the 3.73s for my sake.
Hey graveKisser which side of houston are you on and which school do you go to? I dont want to jack the thread im just wondering.
"In 1985 the RPO L69, rated at 190hp, could only be ordered with the IROC package and only with a manual transmission. Vehicle Weight: 3,550 pounds" I think you could take him straight line or on the twisties. The question is do you want to? Are you willing to risk your license, your life or your car? If you are let us know how badly you beat him!
