Sounds to me like a made up story. People will believe anything though.
We have a patch of greens in the back yard. It takes a lot of um to make anything worth ur time because they cook down so much. Hey I love my grits too and creasy greens that we get out of the fields. Put some vinegar on them and wow! With fried fat back of course and cornbread. But I have never knew anybody hoarding them, LOL I don't like them that much...

Let 'em hord it, I just need gas, canned goods, and ammo. Digging in or bugging out, 'kale' is not a priority for me or mine.
hoarding kale..... LOLHAHAhahahahahahahaha.......

I loaded up on Frito corn chips, vienna sausages and beer. Does that count as preparing for the storm?

Gotta juice the kale. Then you get all the goodness out of it.
Had I planned ahead I would have got a solar panel for my juicer.
Hoarding kale? What the......
That won't be something I would hoard, let alone eat during a disaster.

I like Kale,..mixed with spinach leave, add some oranges and salad dressing ? I also make kale chips, super easy and takes away the bitterness. But would I hoard it ? hell no! hahaha. We have a generator and usually have food/water preps, storm or not. But we'd be munching brats off the grill for dinner, not kale!

Anyone who has been doing hut trips long enough has developed a set of recipes that they take each time. I have run into just about every type of chef while visiting the huts, from freeze-dried food chefs (just add water!) to people who seem to bring up an entire fridge worth of food.
Here are a few things I have learned when planning hut-trip meals. … Continue Reading

Press Release: The Singles Collection, Volume 2QUEEN: THE SINGLES COLLECTION, Volume 2
More of the Queen Singles You Always Wanted
Release date: June 15, 2009
The second volume of Queen's massively impressive Singles Collection CD series is set for release by EMI on June 15.
Aimed to make available and replicate in faithful detail every one of Queen's singles to have made the upper reaches of the charts anywhere in the world, the collection was launched last December with a set covering the band's career from the early years 1973 - 1979.
This latest Volume 2 box set covers the subsequent period of mid 1979 - 1984 with 13 singles drawn from the albums Live Killers (79), The Game (80), Flash Gordon (80), Hot Space (82) and The Works (84).
The subsequent volumes will follow the band's singles through to the final Queen studio album, Made In Heaven from 1995.
While focusing primarily on the band's complete UK singles output, the importance of the series is amplified by the inclusion on many singles only released abroad as well as rare non-album B-sides, live tracks, and some seldom-heard alternative mixes. This is a collection made up of the singles in their true original form, delivering every top 40 Queen single heard on the radio anywhere across the world.
This collection highlights one of the most adventurous periods in Queen's history which saw the band constantly reaching out into new territory, both as studio musicians and live performers. Considering the band was seldom away from touring it is remarkable they were able to achieve such an output of new recorded work. In the five year period these singles cover the band toured Europe three times, Japan three times, the USA twice and even managed to break open the Latin America countries with a series of logic and - some would say - sense-defying stadium concerts which Queen would later return to for the 1985 historic Rock in Rio concerts.
Recording wise, Queen released their first totally live album, Live Killers, strayed from the rock path to create some classic pop singles - Another One Bites the Dust, Radio Ga Ga and I Want to Break Free, flirted with dance music with Hot Space, made an all-time classic track with David Bowie, and brilliantly crossed the boundary into films soundtracks with the Flash Gordon album, something they would do even more successfully several years on with the Highlander soundtrack, released as the A Kind of Magic album.
Queen Singles Collection Volume 2 - Tracks:
Kicking off with Queen's first ever live single, Love Of My Life (from the first live album Live Killers), this much loved Freddie Mercury composition is a significant departure from the original studio version recorded for A Night At The Opera four years earlier. Although not a big hit in the UK or Europe, it was a huge No. 1 in the South American territories, and so features in this set, in a recreation of the rarely seen Japanese sleeve.
Another Freddie song, and yet another musical departure - this time a rockabilly foray - Crazy Little Thing Called Love would become the band's first No. 1 single in the USA. It reached the same position in several other territories too, as would the album on which it later appeared, The Game (1980).
Brian May's ballad Save Me, Freddie's Play The Game, with its non-album Roger Taylor B-side A Human Body (this boxed set being its CD debut), and the next American No.1, John Deacon's Another One Bites The Dust, continued a string of singles from the band's most successful album up to that point, and got the 80s off to a promising start.
Queen's first venture into film, with the soundtrack to Flash Gordon produced the single Flash, known in some parts of the world as Flash's Theme (AKA Flash), and here it is presented in another beautiful sleeve produced for the US release.
Another first would find the band recording with another musical artist, David Bowie, for the No 1 single Under Pressure in 1981, a true collaboration emerging from a studio jam session in Montreux. This single also featured a little known non-album B-side, in Soul Brother (written and performed by Queen).
Freddie's funky Body Language and Brian's South American tour inspired Las Palabras De Amor (The Words Of Love) were the next singles, followed by Roger's first ever 'A' side single Calling All Girls -from the Hot Space album. Released only in America, Australasia and Canada, it would make the top 40 in the latter country only. John Deacon's Back Chat, released in the summer of 1982, was the very first Queen remixed single.
Queen took the following year off in terms of single releases, and touring, but 1984 began with the band back on top form with the Taylor penned Radio Ga Ga reaching No 1 in 19 countries and giving Roger his first international hit. A heavy rock number from Brian, I Go Crazy, was the B-side, and yet another track not featured on an album, in this case The Works.
Another remix was created for John's massive international hit I Want To Break Free, and came in four different picture sleeves for the 7" in the UK. For this set we selected the European sleeve.
And so the mighty Queen machine rolled on, with this second set of singles providing another truly grandiose and varied musical journey in the band's singles history.
Packaged in lift off top box, the 13 CD singles feature a selection of authentically reproduced cover artwork from around the world. Released by EMI June 15, 2009.

Crafting is by far the most ridiculous way to make gold in the Diablo 3 Beta. I'm sure that it will remain the same after release. It takes a decent investment, but once you craft enough times you will eventually create more than a few valuable items.
The thing about crafting for a profit is that any good item is going to make you some money. For most players, they will be crafting just for themselves, so the chances of getting exactly what they want is slim to none. The chance of getting something at least one other player wants is much greater. That's the advantage you have in attempting to craft to make money over the average player.
Another advantage you have is your willingness to invest lots of gold to get better stat rolls. Most players are going to try a few times and then settle for whatever they got. You on the other hand, you know the value of being patient and investing enough gold to get something worth selling.
Here's an example of myself crafting Hide Breeches. The crafting cost is well over 1,000 gold (including subtle essences), but the results were pretty amazing. In crafting 20 Hide Breeches, I came up with the screenshot above. Namely, 5 valuable Hide Breeches worth anywhere from 15,000 to 35,000 gold and I was undercutting pretty heavily to increase selling speed.
If everything sells then I will earn 106,250 gold after fees and approximately 86,250 gold after investment costs are subtracted. That took me, what, less than 5 minutes?
I don't care so much about the flat number of 86,250 gold but rather the fact that I made four times my initial investment. In later difficulties, it will be harder to get the exact affixes you want, but there should also be more affixes that players want on their gear. It's going to be hard to say whether this ratio will go up or down for the more expensive recipes.
I'm starting to realize that whenever I make a strategy public it can have a serious effect on the marketplace. After publicizing the Apprentice Flamberge market on multiple websites, I have seen a huge surge in the number of auctions being posts (and a decrease in price). It's still profitable, but not quite as absurd as it used to be. Have I doomed Hide Breeches as well?

These little pancake ice cream sandwiches are so much fun to eat for breakfast! They are great little treats to make any time of the year, but in case you missed it, last Saturday was Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day.
Rumor has it that the holiday started when a smart (or maybe desperate) mother decided to liven up a cold and dreary February day by feeding her kids ice cream for breakfast. The holiday is officially the first Saturday of February, but it's okay if you missed it. We're in the same boat. I'm celebrating the holiday today with these pancake ice cream sandwiches. But really, in my eyes, Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day can be celebrated any day of the year. No judgement here if you want to eat ice cream for breakfast. :)
I made these pancake ice cream sandwiches in little hearts because Valentine's Day is coming up. Jonathan is going to be away for Valentine's Day this year, so we shared these little treats this morning before his flight. These are perfect for Valentine's Day breakfast because you can make them the night before, and on Valentine's morning, you'll just have to scurry to the freezer, pop them onto a tray, and bring them back up to the bedroom for a delightful breakfast in bed!
The pancakes are based off Japanese dorayaki pancakes. I spread them a bit thinner than Japanese dorayaki pancakes by using a crepe pan and crepe fork. You don't need the pancakes super thin, but I like my ice cream sandwiches with a thin pancake and a super fatty stack of ice cream in the middle. The pancakes are sturdier than normal fluffy pancakes so they also hold the ice cream together better. They also cut out nicely with my nifty mini ice cream sandwich maker kit (affiliate link) without crumbling (you'll need one of these, or something similar, to make these pancake ice cream sandwiches).
You can roll the outside of these pancake ice cream sandwiches in sprinkles, but I would recommend making them in round shapes if you are going to do that. I tried to roll a few of these heart pancake ice cream sandwiches in sprinkles, but I had a hard time getting the sprinkles in the "butt" of the heart. But they are beautiful as is – so no need to trouble yourself with the extra step unless you want to be an overachiever. And in that case, please do tag #theworktop and share your photos so I can admire your hard work!
Happy Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day and Happy Valentine's Day! If you are looking for another ice cream breakfast to celebrate with, try these Champagne Pear Crepes.
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup (55g) sugar
- 1 tbs honey
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons (80g) flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ - 1 tablespoon water
- oil, for cooking the pancakes
- 1 small tub of vanilla ice cream (about ¼ gallon or 1 liter)
- sprinkles, to decorate (optional)
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and honey until it is light and fluffy, and the eggs are a light yellow color.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder, and mix until everything is just combined. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
- When the batter is almost done resting, preheat a crepe pan (or large skillet with a flat bottom) to medium heat.
- Stir in ½ a tablespoon of water to the batter at a time, stopping when the batter becomes thin enough that it flows off the end of the whisk smoothly like a very thin ribbon. The batter will be thicker than most other pancake batters. I used 1 tablespoon of water.
- Dip a paper towel in oil, and carefully wipe the bottom of the pan with the oil, coating it evenly. Once the oil is hot, carefully spoon in ½ cup of the batter. Using a crepe fork, quickly spread the batter evenly across the pan so it is ¼ inch (1/2 cm) thick.
- When the surface of the batter starts to bubble (about 30 seconds to 1 minute), carefully flip the pancake to the other side. Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Cool pancakes on a cooling rack.
- Compile the ice cream sandwiches using an ice cream sandwich maker (I used these (affiliate link): Cuisipro Mini Ice Cream Sandwich Maker). Make sure you make the ice cream sandwiches with the "pretty side" of the pancake facing the outside.
- Eat immediately, or place the pancake ice cream sandwiches back in the freezer.

I recently underwent a FTT without muscle repair (didn't need it). Even though I did lots of research prior to surgery, I was shocked when I looked in the mirror and saw the wound, swelling and bruising around my pubic, belly and flank area. Even my lower legs and part of my butt were purple.
I had never been so sore and was in much pain. Although I must say, my pain threshold is rather low! The first thing out of my mouth was "What have I done to myself!!"
But, no worries girls, it's now been 2 weeks and although I'm not 100% back to my normal self (that would be too much to expect) I feel great, and I'm healing nicely. My recuperation is well underway and I feel better every day.
Let me give you some tips:
- Do yourself a favor and start taking Colace (stool softener) about 5 days before your surgery, I did not do this and was very constipated due to combination of anesthesia and pain killer. Believe me, it's bad enough to be in pain and swollen due to TT, you don't need the added discomfort of constipation!
- Drink loads and loads of pure water, this will get rid of the toxins from anesthesia and pain killer. Will also help with healing and speed up recovery.
- Eat whole foods, in other words avoid processed foods. Eat green leafy veggies and root- type veggies, such as rutabagas. Do a search on the Net for "Foods that help recovery after surgery".
- Purchase Arnica Montana cream and tablets from organic grocery store or online ahead of time. My doctor told me this was ok to use and take. They really work! It's used to reduce pain, swelling and bruising. Be sure to massage with cream AM and PM... You will see the difference this makes!
- Wear a tank top under your binder to avoid rash and itching.
- I've been wearing Rejuveness Silicon Gel sheet on my wound daily. Underneath I apply ointment prescribed by my doctor. I also purchased Oleeva Silon scar treatment sheets to wear once my incision is fully healed. I read good reviews and came highly recommended by another TT girl patient (I saw her on YouTube).
I think that's all I got for now. I will post before and after pix in the next few days and will continue updates. I'm posting my 2- week pix now.
So, if you really want to have a tummy tuck, then go for it, just do your research, be sure you are in good health, stop smoking if you do and have at least a couple of people close by for at least the first week post-op. You will, without question, need help in more than one way!

Hi ladies! Hope everyone's healing is going well...
I'm nearly 5 weeks PO. The area around my BB was very hard and part of my flank area still sore so I had a lymphatic massage today and I can already see the benefits, swelling is down and tummy isn't as hard. I hardly recommend it! If you live in the DC area, I'm happy to send you contact info on my massage therapist, she was great!
My incision still has a few small stubborn areas that need healing but overall is doing well.
I purchased my first pair of hipster jeans yesterday, I was,so excited! I can't wait to wear it!

- Maymon has scored in double-figures in all four games this season and is second to Golden in scoring average 18.0 after tallying 32 vs. Memphis. Last season, Maymon had just one game with double-figure points.
- Maymon's 32 points were the most by a Vol since Scotty Hopson dropped 32 vs. Georgia last season (2/19/11).
- Maymon's 20 rebounds set a Maui Invitational record. The previous record of 19 was accomplished three times, most recently by Nick Collison on Kansas against Seton Hall in 2001.
- Maymon's 20 rebounds were the most by a Vol since Steve Hamer had 21 vs. Alabama on March 7, 1996.
- The 20 rebounds tie for the 34th-most ever in a game in Tennessee history.
- Maymon also had his third consecutive double-double with the 20 rebounds, which was a career-high for the second game in a row. He corralled 12 vs. Duke on Monday.
- Maymon made a career-high 16-of-17 from the free-throw line. His 16 made free throws is now fifth on the all-time list for makes in a game in UT history. He passed the mark of 15 makes which was done by the following: Ron Slay (1/4/03), Allan Houston (1/21/92), Ernie Grunfeld (1/15/77), Danny Schultz (2/15/64), Glenn Campbell (2/1/60) and Carl Widseth (1/14/56) all made 15 free throws in a game.
- The Vols played first double-overtime game since Jan. 27, 2001, a 77-75 loss to Georgia. All-time Tennessee has played 22 double-overtime games and is now 8-14 in them. UT's last double-overtime win came on Jan. 6, 2001 at Auburn, 96-88.
- The Vols are 3-0 all-time in triple-overtime games.
- Sophomore Trae Golden continued to score in double-figures as he finished with 14 points. In all four games this season Golden has scored in double-figures after never scoring more than eight in his freshman season last year. Golden had 12 alone in the first half vs. Memphis.
- Golden is averaging 18.3 this season to lead the Vols.
- Junior Kenny Hall had his best game of the young season with 11 points. It was his sixth-career game in double-figures and first since his freshman season.
- After seeing its streak of 461 consecutive games with a made 3-pointer end against Duke (0-for-8) on Monday night, the Vols started a new streak with a made 3-pointer as No. 1 Josh Richardson canned a 3-pointer 2:06 into the game. Tennessee finished 7-of-21 from trifecta land.
- There were 53 fouls called in the game. The Vols were shooting in the bonus just 3:55 into the game as the Tigers were whistled for seven fouls before the first media timeout and 10 fouls with more than 11 minutes left in the first half.
- Tennessee was once against solid at the free throw line, making 30-of-37 in the game for 81.1 percent. For the season, the Vols are now shooting 76 percent from the charity stripe, making 78-of-103. Tennessee shot 19-of-24 against Duke in the Maui opener.
- The Vols now lead the all-time series with Memphis 14-9 and will play again this season on Jan. 4, 2012 at the FedEx Forum in Memphis. Including this season, UT and UM have played in each of the last seven seasons.
- Tuesday's game between the Vols and Tigers, two schools from Tennessee, was played in Maui, Hawaii. It marked just the second time in 23 meetings that teams did not play in the Volunteer State. The first-ever meeting between the team was played in the All-College Tournament in Oklahoma City, Okla., a 72-51 UT victory. The Vols crushed the Tigers, 104-84, in last season's meeting at Thompson-Boling Arena on Jan. 21, 2011.

There's no doubt about it. The success of Paranormal Activity has completely leveled the filmmaking landscape for young directors in need of a break. Like the movie or not, you have to respect it for that.
In the wake of that film's release, major studios have been opening new cost effective labels that fund films on the cheap such as Paramount's Insurge Pictures. Today Lionsgate announced that it will be throwing its hat into the ring by starting a micro-budget production initiative, which is focused exclusively on producing films with budgets of under $2 million.
Three films will kick off the slate, one of which comes from Aussie helmer Greg Mclean, who pumped out both Wolf Creek and the way under-rated flick Rogue.
6 Miranda Drive is a supernatural thriller in the vein of the classic hit Poltergeist. "Based on true events, the movie is about a family that unwittingly brings a supernatural force home with them from vacation. Feeding off their own fears, the evil presence threatens to destroy them from within as it takes over their lives and home, with terrifying results."
Up to ten films will be produced each year under the micro-budget umbrella. More soon!

This fund has already provided the means for several imperative projects that were completed over the past four years. Previous projects have included the renovations made to our Sports Medicine Facility and the completion of the Rice Oval project. Rice Oval is now a state-of-the-art Field-Turf facility and home to our NCAA Division I softball program.
One of the latest additions to the project is the completion of the Hynes-East Locker Rooms. The project is currently completed and features team-specific locker rooms. What's unique about being able to continue to support this project is that it provides all contributors that pledge a minimum gift of $1,000 to the Iona Gaels Capital Improvements Fund with the opportunity to name a locker for yourself, a friend or loved one in the Hynes Athletics Center.
This is a great opportunity for alumni, friends, parents and supporters of Iona College Athletics to be able to put their mark on the Hynes Athletics Center East Locker Rooms.
For more information on the Iona Gaels Capital Improvements Fund please contact Owen Salvestrini, Assistant Athletics Director for Development at 914-633-2071 or email@example.com.

Michal Neuvirth made 24 saves in his second start of the season and Troy Brouwer scored his third goal as the visiting Washington Capitals dominated the last two periods en route to a 5-1 victory over the Carlona Hurricanes on Friday.
Jeff Halpern and John Carlson scored their first goal of the season, rookie Cody Eakin netted his first of his career and Nicklas Backstrom added his fifth tally in a two-point night for the Capitals.
Alex Ovechkin, who was left on the bench in the final minute of regulation on Tuesday, bounced back with a pair of assists in 21 shifts.
The Hurricanes actually held a lead at one point, grabbing the first goal when Anthony Stewart beat Neuvirth early in the first period.
Washington made it look easy after that, tying it on Halpern's tally at the 1:28 mark of the second and taking the lead just over a minute later. Brouwer accepted a feed from Marcus Johansson on the break and knocked it over Cam Ward's shoulder.
Carlson scored on the power-play in the third, blasting a slap shot from the above the left face-off circle.
Ward made 27 saves for Carolina.

Hi Ladies,
I am not yet pregnant, but I want to have as many things in place as possible. I've been doing a lot of research on hospitals in my area that say they have great natural, midwife assisted births. Although I would love to have a home-birth, I'm going to have to go with what my insurance will pay for. Can anyone briefly tell me of your experiences with midwives/natural births at Providence (southfield), U of M (Ann Arbor), or Hutzel (Detroit)?
I'm hoping for a med-free, midwife attended birth. If you were not happy with any of these places, can you please give me a quick reason why? Also, if there was a midwife (or exceptionally great female OB), who you loved, please give me their name. Thank you!
However, it is fairly easy to risk out of (probably easier than a homebirth midwife would risk you out, because being connected with the hospital they are quite skittish) and you end up in the general L&D, so I would make sure you are comfortable with there as well. My understanding is that it is very different.
All the midwives at Metro Partners are good. They tend to have long wait times (maybe 45min- an hour for appts), and the front desk staff is unpleasant, but for me it is worth it for pregnancy care since our births in the ABC were so much better than the typical hospital experience.
Wish you the best in your research and journey!
Thank you for your response myral! I appreciate it.
Out of those three options I would go with UofM.
The Metro Partners MW's do have extremely long wait times, they will risk you out of the ABC for minor things and the regular L&D is disgusting and old.
Hutzel Womens Hospital L&D looks like a jail lock down facility. The only MW in their group I liked was Mary Lewis. One of the other MW's told me I had a tired uterus because I am a grand multip and because I was a redhead I would most likely need a transfusion because we bleed so much.
I haven't had a baby at UofM since 2001, but even back then it was nicer. I do believe they have upgraded their rooms since then. The MW's in Canton were nice, but I remember waiting long times there also and it takes about 6-8 weeks to get in to see them (called this pregnancy too).
Henry Ford West Bloomfield is a lovely hospital if you are looking for a nice facility and they do have MW's. I believe they have an office in Dearborn by Fairlane Mall.
Of course there are also wonderful home birth mw's, and I wish I could have afforded it this time around.
Good luck.
I decided that my risk of being transferred was low enough that it was worth it, but I would imagine that with most of the natural births taking place in the ABC, the L&D there may be especially complication/C-section oriented.
I have heard UofM's new Womens Center is aesthetically nice, but still very much a medicalized, teaching hospital birth vs. a birth center.
Frankly, no hospital gift-wraps a natural birth. Managed is infinitely more convienient, profitable, and legally defensive not to mention it is just the norm and most women don't make a peep. In my experience, the most important factors are educating yourself, avoiding unecessary interventions, being willing to advocate very strongly for yourself, having a knowlegeable, supportive birth partner and possibly doula to advocate for you, and staying as healthy as possible. You sound like you are already on that path:)

03 CTS 3.2L Serpintine Belt Failure / Tensioner - Now will not restart - Need Help
I have an 03 CTS with a 3.2L. The serpintine belt failed on the road, engine shut down of course. It was the tentioner pulley that completely locked up and broke apart it would seem. I replaced that and the belt. The engine t urns over fine. I have cleared the codes from the ECU. It just seems like it is not getting any spark. When I try to start it everything turns and it turns over normally. When I let off the starter it still goes for an extra second, just a weird thing I noticed. Also when starting the bright light gauge indictor light stays on while starting. Seems as if some of the gauge indicator lights arent behaving as they should but I am not positive on that, I didn't pay perfect attention every start but something seems out of place. Before this happened the car was running perfectly, not one issue. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them, thanks.

Make sure any sensor connections weren't damaged by the flying belt. Also check the connections to the ECM, which happens to be on the top of the engine, passenger side.
To answer you concern on the starter staying engaged. It's because the ECM knows the engine hasn't started yet. Our cars are drive by wire. There is no throttle cable from the gas pedal to the TB. And the ignition wires are 20 or 22gauge, not the typical 12.
Make sure the timing belt didn't break. The car wouldn't have shut down if only the serpentine belt broke unless you continued driving and drained the battery, but you would have overheated and noticed you didn't have power steering. I have a feeling the timing belt broke as well, I hope not for your sake but good luck.
Re: 03 CTS 3.2L Serpintine Belt Failure / Tensioner - Now will not restart - Need Hel
Let me add a little to this. Once I got the computer on it, there was an error code for a bad cam sensor. I replaced it. I was told that since I did that I should reset the entire ECU. I was wondering if there is a special process or can I just unplug it for a certian ammount of time? Thanks for all your guys responses. They are helping me track this down.
Also here is one reason I do not think the timing belt broke. Now I am not AS familiar with this 3.2L but I worked a TON with a Mitsubishi motor the 4G63. Compression is so tight that if you have a timing belt break it bends all the valves. It will NOT turn over with ease as this 3.2L does, no noises like pistons hitting valves at all happening. If I am wrong and there is ample spacing for the cams to ride and not bend valves please let me know.
Re: 03 CTS 3.2L Serpintine Belt Failure / Tensioner - Now will not restart - Need Hel
I am parting out the car. If anyone needs anything from it let me know.
I have a complete Eibach suspension (springs and swaybars) that I was putting on while the car was down before I found out I bent a bunch of valves. So it is all brand new.

Chemistry (3rd time I've posted this)
posted by Joe on .
Can someone check my answers? I've posted this a couple times and no one has responded. Is no one responding because they're all right or what?
1.) If you were involved in an acid rain monitoring project with several other samplers, why would it be important that all of you collect your samples on the same day and do the alkalinity tests within 24 hours?
Acid rain on another day may not have the same pH as the rain on that day. The pH may also decrease over time.
2.) A student did an alkalinity determination correctly, except that the sample titrated had a volume of 90.0 mL. Volume A was found to be 4.50 mL and Volume B was 7.00 mL.
a)Calculate the alkalinity value from these data and then calculate the correct value.
A=(2(4.50-7.00)=2.0 mL^-1
answer = 2.02mL^-1
b)What percent error would there be?
answer = .99%
c) Would there be an error in the classification of the stream? Explain concisely.
There would not have been an error in the classification. It was just a measurement error in this case.
3) EPA acidity tests can be performed by titrating a water sample to a pH of 8.2. What titrant in what concentration would you suggest for EPA acidity determinations?
The titrant I would suggest for EPA acidity determinations is sulfuric acid under a standard concentration.
And I've read it all three times. Sone of the questions I simply dn't uuderstand. For what it's worth, here goes.
1. I think your answer to #1 is poor. Probably everyone knows that the pH may/will change. Probably they also know that the pH will change over time. I think the question is asking, "WHY will the pH be different on different days and WHY will the pH decrease over time. You might address that the same amount of rain may differ on diffrerent days, that the rain front may have come from different loations of the world thus carrying different amounts of gases that causes the rain to be acid, etc. As to the alkalinity changing, WHY does it change; that is, WHY is it important to measure the alkalinity within a short time of sample collection. The answer is that the dissolved gases causing the rain to be acid have a vapor pressure and that over time they will slowly "evaporate" from the solution. Evaporate is not a good word but you can substitute a better one. You probably knew all of this but you need to spell it out, especially if this is for an assignment. If it's for general dissemination, it is even more vital to be specific.
2. I don't understand the volume A and volume B bit so I've skipped all of #2.
3. Again, I don't think you answer will cut it but it is a better answer than your #1. You were specific about using H2SO4 and that is good. I think the answer would be greatly imporoved if you specified the recommended concentration or give a range. To say "a standard concentration" will make the reader (your prof?) glance at the paper again and he/she may wonder if you know or if you are just evading the question.
I hope this helps a little although I couldn't answer all of the question.
And my addition. I have read it three times also, and ibid on DrBob's comments. It is confusing.
On the last, my thought is IF you are titrating an acid rain water sample you need a standard base sample (NaOH), especially if you want it to get to a pH of 8. However, it is not clear to me in number three what you are trying to titrate.
The clarity of your questions makes understanding very difficult. If you ask someone something three times, and they don't answer, it is quite likely they don't understand what you are talking about. If those folks are experts, and don't understand you, well, think about that. It is part of learning the art of communication.
I.d The others are right

07 550i rear tire wear.
Rear tires are wearing inside to out BMW had mentioned bushings? our tire store said struts were weak? has 86k had it aligned @ 76k any takers.
I know these cars are pretty rough on rear tires, that's how they get the handling they do out of a car of this size / weigh, but can't recall what the normal wear pattern is.
Your tire wear is completely normal. The car is set up with a far amount of negative camber. It's how BMW makes a 4000 lb car handle like a dream.
You can take it to your alignment specialist and tell hiom to set it to the least negative value and still be in spec. The car won't handle as well but I suspect you won't notice.

Roma have been linked with a potential swoop on Stoke for Xherdan Shaqiri, who of course has previous in Serie A at Inter Milan, but the ex-Bayern Munich forward isn't leaving the club.
Late yesterday afternoon, the Football Association announced the result of its three month review of their relationship with gambling companies and that association now comes to an end.

Saturday, April 26: San Jose State at Nevada, 1 p.m., Hixson Park
Sunday, April 27: San Jose State at Nevada, 1 p.m., Hixson Park
All games will be available at www.NevadaWolfPack.TV as part of the Mountain West Network.
Live play-by-play available online at: http://www.nevadawolfpack.com/sports/w-softbl/sched/unv-w-softbl-sched.html
Record: 21-22 (Mountain West: 3-12)
Head coach: Matt Meuchel (sixth season)
At Nevada: 142-162
Nevada embarks on its final road trip of the season next weekend when it travels to Logan, Utah for a three-game set at Utah State.
Entering this weekend series with the Spartans, the Pack is looking to snap a nine-game losing streak. Sunday is the team's 'Pink Day' and 'Dads and Daughters Day'. A pink t-shirt gets you free admission and donations will be collected for 'Moms on the Run.' Following the game, dads will have the opportunity to play catch with their daughters in the outfield.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Two Colorado State runs in the bottom of the seventh lifted the Rams to a 4-3 win over the Nevada softball team to sweep the three-game series.
In the bottom of the first, the Rams (27-10, 8-4 MW) took an early 2-0 lead and chased Nevada (21-22, 3-12 MW) starter Megan Dortch from the game. With two runs already home, Dortch issued a walk that loaded the bases with two outs. Freshman McKenna Isenberg then entered the game in relief and retired the next CSU batter to end the threat.
The Wolf Pack got a run back in its half of the second thanks to three walks and a hit batter issued by Colorado State. Hannah Harger drew a four-pitch, bases loaded walk that brought in Orozco from third, cutting the lead to a 2-1 CSU advantage.
Both teams scattered hits here and there as the game continued on but could not get any runs across until the top of the sixth. Amanda Weis provided the Pack with a base runner after being hit by a pitch, and was pinch-run for by Jasmine Jenkins. After Danielle Wiltz drew a walk, Ashley Butera came through with a pinch-hit, RBI bloop single to center that scored Jenkins and tied the ballgame at 2-2.
Nevada took the go-ahead run in the top of the seventh, once again thanks to a bases loaded walk. Megan Sweet singled and advanced to second on a passed ball. After Orozco drew a walk, Weis lined a shot that ricocheted off the third baseman's glove to load the bases. Wiltz stepped in and displayed patience at the plate to draw the walk on a 3-1 count to give the Pack a 3-2 lead.
In the bottom half of the seventh with a runner on first and one out, CSU's Chelsea Biglow tripled down the right field line, tying the game once again at 3-3. With two gone in the frame, a slow roller in the infield scored the winning run for the Rams, giving them the 4-3 victory.
During game two at Colorado State last weekend, sophomore shortstop Megan Sweet collected her 19th double of the season, setting a new Nevada single-season record. Sweet currently ranks second in the nation in doubles per game (0.44 per game), trailing Emilee Koerner of Notre Dame for the national lead. In addition to her doubles game, Sweet also ranks nationally in runs scored, sitting in the top-25. She is just one run shy of setting a single-season record in that category.
On Feb. 15, Nevada broke the school record for runs scored in a game in a 20-10 victory over BYU.
The record lasted less than a month as the Pack eclisped it with a 21-4 win over North Dakota on March 14. In that game, Nevada also set the school record for RBI in a game as every run was driven (21).
A few marks still stand from that BYU game.
Amanda Weis set school records for home runs (previous: two, by 14 players), RBI (previous: 6, by five players), total bases (previous, 10 by Candice Rainwater in 2006) and she tied the school record with four runs scored in the game. Weis broke the Mountain West record for total bases and tied the league's record for home runs in a game. Nevada set team record for team total bases (36) and it marked the second-best totals in school history in hits (19) and home runs (5).
Nevada has played 17 home games this season, with two more homestands remaining on the schedule. The Wolf Pack owns an 11-6 record at Hixson Park this year and boasts five players hitting above .330 and three pitchers with ERA's under 3.00 at home. Erin Jones is batting an impressive .511 in Reno, collecting a team-leading 24 hits and 18 runs batted in. The team's opponents are batting just .218 at Hixson and have been outscored by the Wolf Pack by a 113-53 margin.

14th Carnival of Unschooling
The 14th Carnival of Homeschooling is up at Henry Cate's place. Regular read, Becky at the Farm School, has a piece on textbooks. The argument applies as much here as it does in Canada.

Heavens, Carlotta, out of all the entries to the carnival, how on earth did you happen to single out mine lol?
I always like to think that things are a bit better on the other side of the pond, especially after some time spent drooling over the offerings at Galore Park. I don't know about the UK, but the situation is definitely worse in the U.S. than in Canada, if only because a larger population means more textbooks, and because the textbook police dolts are based in the U.S.
Thanks very much the mention -- much appreciated : )

World record sought for Trinidad Scorpion Butch T chili
SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - Beware, Naga Viper. Your reign as the world's hottest chili pepper may be coming to a close.
A group of Australians is seeking world record status for a new variety of chili, a bright red pepper so potent that processing it for eating requires gas masks and protective chemical warfare-like clothing.
The "Trinidad Scorpion Butch T" chili, a mere 2.5 cm (1 inch) long, comes it at a fiery 1.46 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU) per chili, according to testing by Melbourne firm EML Chemical == taking it well past the Naga Viper British Chili, the current Guinness record-holder at 1.38 million SHU.
By comparison, a jalapeno pepper contains anywhere from 2,500 to 8,000 SHU.
"I had hallucinations, I had to lie down, I couldn't walk for 20 minutes, dizzy," said Marcel de Wit, one of a group of men who developed and grew the incendiary vegetable, about eating a raw Trinidad Scorpion Butch T.
"This chili was so severe. I will never, ever do it again, I can tell you that."
Processing the chili, first harvested earlier this year at Morisett, a town nearly 89 kilometres (55 miles) north of Sydney, requires the utmost care.
Pickers wear gloves and take care to not let the plant touch any part of their skin due to the burning sensation that would result.
People involved in boiling the minced chili into puree for putting in sauces wear chemical masks and protective clothing to avoid the fumes. Continued...

Authors: Nathaniel S. K. Hellerstein
This paper redefines the addition of rational numbers, in a way that allows division by zero. This requires defining a "compensator" on the integers, plus extending least-common-multiple (LCM) to zero and negative numbers. "Compensated addition" defines ordinary addition on all ratios, including the 'infinities' n/0, and also 'zeroids' 0/n. The infinities and the zeroids form two 'double ringlets'. The lattice rationals modulo the zeroids yields the infinities plus the 'wheel numbers'. Due to the presence of the 'alternator' @ = 0/-1, double-distribution does not apply, but triple-distribution still does.

Northern Virginia Road Expansion: Betting on Dulles Airport as Freight Hub (Part 2)
This is the second of a two-part series on plans to expand Northern Virginia's road network and freight capacity of Dulles International Airport. (Part 1)
To elected officials and Virginia transportation planners, Dulles International Airport is an untapped well of economic growth. However, maximizing its potential will necessitate major improvements of the surrounding road network. That includes completion of a "north-south" corridor which is now in the conceptual stages.
On Dec. 12 the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority unveiled its intentions to pursue development of airport properties, including 400 acres on Dulles' western side and sixteen acres around the future Rt. 606 stop of the Silver Line. The goal is to enhance the airport's industrial capacity as a freight hub.
"We are the only airport on the east coast with that kind of land available to us for development purposes. Cargo is down at Dulles right now, but it is down because of the economic uncertainty in Europe," said Loudoun County Supervisor Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn). "The problem we have today is there is no easy access from the airport. The only access we have today is Rt. 28 and 28 is very limited."
At their monthly board meeting, MWAA officials emphasized the importance of both expanding the Dulles Loop – Routes 606, 28, and 50 – and eventually connecting it to the north-south corridor. Studies to expand all three roadways are underway.
MWAA CEO Jack Potter indicated the agency would take a cautious approach to development.
"We do not want to make an investment either at Rt. 606 or in the western lands to put a lot of infrastructure in there. We are not going to build something and hope that somebody comes," he said during a presentation to the MWAA board.
Elected officials in Loudoun County who support the "north-south corridor" concept see Dulles as a key to future economic growth and the roads it will require as relief for traffic-weary commuters.
"Anybody who lives in Loudoun County knows that more road capacity is necessary," said Supervisor Matt Letourneau (R-Dulles). "Keeping roads small doesn't prevent growth from happening."
Environmental groups opposed to the construction of a multi-lane, divided highway west of Dulles Airport question whether the expansion of freight is the right goal.
"There are only so many pounds of freight that you can move on an airplane in an economical way. I think it is less than one-tenth of one percent of freight in Virginia comes by air. It is going to be an important economic activity but it is not the major way to move freight in the United States," said Chris Miller, president of the Piedmont Environmental Council.
In his view, the Virginia Department of Transportation's Northern Virginia master plan and MWAA's development ideas amount to a move in the wrong direction, toward sprawl-inducing road expansions that could undermine the ongoing investment in the Silver Line rail project, scheduled for completion in 2018.
"I think the people who move west of Dulles Airport aren't looking for another interstate highway with trucks on it to serve their neighborhood," Miller said.
Miller uses the term "outer beltway" to describe the north-south corridor concept, a term that chafes supporters.
"If you want to unlock the potential of our economic engines – and Dulles is the biggest economic engine that we have in Northern Virginia – you've got to be able to tie it back to the other industries. If you look on the other side of the river, we have a large biotech industry in the I-270 corridor," said Supervisor Buona.
"If you are able to create a [transportation] link between that industry and the IT and government contracting set, and that link connects to the airport, what you've done is create a corridor of commerce. You have not created an outer beltway," he added.

E-911 Posting Ordinance Enforcement Continues
Stephens County Marshal Tom Bennett said last month he continues to work on ensuring proper posting of E-911 addresses in the county.
Bennett said that many have complied with the E-911 posting ordinance, but he is still encountering some improperly posted addresses.
Starting April 1, officials indicated that the county would begin citing and issuing fines for penalties for violation of the E-911 posting ordinance.
According to Stephens County ordinances, the address shall be posted and clearly visible at the driveway of a residence or structure, except in cases such as mobile home parks, apartments, and duplexes, where the number shall be posted on the mobile home, walkway, or apartment door, depending on the situation.
In addition, the county ordinance states that each number shall be at least three inches high, shall be reflective, and shall be placed on a contrasting background.
Meanwhile, the city of Toccoa ordinance states that the address shall be placed in a conspicuous manner in a conspicuous place. It also calls for the numbers to be at least three inches high, reflective, and placed on a contrasting background. In the city's ordinance, places like mobile home parks and apartments must display the number at the front entrance of the dwelling.

Water well pumps
Is there a switch or something that I can get to shut my pump off so that I don't have to go to my breaker box every time? I don't have a holding tank and I'm gonna use it for irrigation only
if it is 208V just break one leg with a heavy duty service switch,if you want to kill both legs and have protection a starter with overloads and stop/start push buttons
It's a 220v. Is there a control box I can get to where when I turn the hose on the pump starts and when I turn the hose off the pump shuts off by itself.
12 Attachment(s)
Yea I was hoping there was another way.
12 Attachment(s)
if the well pump holds anytype of pressure after shut down between the impeller and that shut off valve....a pressuretrol tapped into the pressured line will work.so when you open the valve the pressure drops and the pump runs.might have to break the power feed to the pump into 24Vs with a contactor and transformer to take that amp draw on starts...
Starting and stopping(short cycling), is a cause of early pump motor failure. Try to design your system to minimize starts.
There is. http://www.watergroup.com/pumps/pump-mascontrol.htm
Works Great
My well pump wont turn on, I checked with a multimeter at the pressure switch. I have 239 volts on both sides of the switch. The weird part is the contacts remain closed with the power on and off. But no water. what could it be?
240 volts going to the pump and not water could be bad pump. Could be bad wires to the pump. Could be phantom voltage reading with digital meter.

Parameter replacement with known parameters
Dear friends,
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ANSWERS AND ESSPECIALLY Daniel Lichtblau. I managed with your help to fit multiple data to multiple equations simultaneously. Thanks again.
I have 6 parameters a=7.6; m1= 10; m2=9; d=0.1; of which f1 = 1.64 and f2= 1.72; depend on m1= 10; m2=9; so that for all m1>0&&m2>0 follows:
f1(m1,m2) and f2(m1,m2)
I first determined all six parameters and then replaced f1 and f2 with m1 and m2 by using the command InterpolatingPolynomial in the following way.
FullSimplify[Solve[InterpolatingPolynomial[{(m1/m2)^2, f1}, x1] == 0, f1]
FullSimplify[Solve[InterpolatingPolynomial[{(m1/m2)^2, f2}, x2] == 0, f2]
The disadvantage of this method is that new parameters x1 and x2 will be generated.
Is there a more intelligent way to circumvent this problem ?

I've been searching for a good ketchup for a long long time. My only requirements are that it doesn't contain allspice or natural flavorings.
I haven't found one yet.
So I decided it's high time I just figure it out on my own. Turns out that it's much, much easier than I thought and only takes a few ingredients!
Homemade Ketchup
What You Need:
- 3 medium tomatoes
- 1 6-7oz jar tomato paste
- 1 t. salt
- 1/4 c. sugar, honey, or turbinado
- 1 t. onion powder
Here's all you need! I got the Bionaturae Tomato Paste because it's sold in a glass jar, no worries about BPA. However if that doesn't concern you as much you can get Muir Glen brand which is cheaper.
Start by chopping up your tomatoes after you clean them up.
And simmer them in a saucepan for a few minutes. I mashed mine up as good as I could.
Add in the salt, onion powder, sugar, and tomato paste and let the mixture bubble together for about a minute.
Remove the mixture from heat and pour into the blender. CAUTION: the mixture is very hot so make sure that you have the lid on tight before you turn it on! Blend until smooth.
Return the mixture to the stove for a little while. It won't be perfectly smooth because of the seeds so if that will be a problem for your family you will want to stain them out. You can also can this up just like you would tomatoes, I'm planning on doing a big batch later this year!
Make sure you check out all the free Canning and Preserving Recipes we have on Little House Living! And don't forget to check out The Canner's Cookbook, it has recipes on how to use all your home canned goods!
I recommend a Presto Pressure Canner and the book Putting Food By for all your canning projects!

Are old emails and ones with large attachments hogging up all your Gmail storage space? Have trouble finding the exact email message you want? Luckily, Google has added more ways to find what you're looking for and, perhaps, clean out those huge emails you no longer need.
To find emails larger than a specific size, use the larger: operator with the size of the email and K for KB and M for MB. For example, entering "larger:500M" will find all emails larger than 500MB. (You can also use the new size: operator, but then you have to specify the size in bytes, e.g., "size:500000000" for 500MB, which is a little more mentally challenging.)
If you want to find very small emails, you could use the smaller: operator similarly. (Though I'm not sure how useful that is.)
Find older or newer emails by using the older_than: and newer_than: operators. For example, if you enter "older_than:1y" Gmail will show you all messages older than 1 year (use "m" for months and "d" for days). To find emails received within the last 4 days, use "newer_than:4d".
Want to look for an email with a specific word in the message but not related words? Use the + (plus sign) operator. For example, if you search for "+universe" you'll get every email that contains "universe" but not those that have "universes" or "universal".
See the whole chart of Gmail advanced search operators here so you can find the emails you need (or no longer need) more accurately and quickly.

Hey, just made the change from a 2003 B6 Audi A4 Avant. It was a sweet ride but was sucking me dry in maintenance costs. I just imported an 06 WRX wagon from Texas, as they are impossible to find here in UT.
Not sure what the plans are for this car are right now. It's getting tint next week and springs probably in a few weeks. I see stage 2 in the near future.
I'm also into VW's as well. I have 1983 Mk1 GTI that is my official "project" car. It only gets driven in the summer. I did a 16V swap with Megasquirt standalone engine management.
I do all my own wrenching and am looking forward to something new!

Welcome to TechBusters from WorldStart, where I expose the truth behind technology myths and sayings.
In this article I'll talk about the popular saying that if you save your images as JPEG over and over you'll be lowering the image quality by a lot. This saying comes from the way jpegs compress the file. Each time you save a file the compression recalculates and the theory is after a lot of saves the file will be of noticeably inferior quality.
Let's clear up one incorrect myth right off the bat: Opening the file does nothing to the image, so if you always open the original image file then save any edits as a new file the original image will not change. Only saving the file engages any changes/compression of the file.
So is this myth true? Let's start by saying if you save at a low quality setting then you will produce low quality jpeg, so we're going to test it with a medium-high quality of 70 percent. I tested this by starting with a high resolution 16 megapixel image converted from a RAW image file from a Nikon D7000 dSLR. I then proceeded to save this image 5, 15 and 25 times (opening and closing the image each time) and made 100% crops of an area of the image. Each save is at 70% quality jpeg (7/10 setting.)
Here is the re-sized full images of all 4 stages of the saving process.
Here are 100% views of a 300×450 area to compare the 4 stages of saving. This would be the equivalent of printing this image at 11×17 inches at 300 DPI.
Can you tell a difference from one to the other? I can't. Is there a theoretical loss of information and jpeg artifacts introduced with each save you make? Yes. Do I think there is a visible difference in the image quality for the average person who may save an image a few times over? No way!
But like beauty maybe the truth of this myth is in the eye of the beholder – so you be the judge.

With Easter coming soon, I thought it's time to do some Easter activities for kids … so we played with plastic eggs.
To be honest with you, I planned to do only one activity, but my kids decided to experiment and play a bit more, so we ended up doing 4 Easter activities for kids instead of just one.
These are the things we did:
Alphabet Easter Egg Hunt
A game for 4-6 year old kids to learn the alphabet, recognize letters and learn how to trace them.
Color and Shape Matching
A game for 2-4 year old kids to learn the colors and find similarities and practice sorting in general.
Combining Colors
A discovery game for 2-4 year old kids to learn the colors in a playful way and discover in a non messy way what happens when you combine colors.
Tower Building
A game for 2-6 year old kids to practice the fine motorics while building towers which also encourages them to think out of the box.
What you need for these Easter activities for kids:
- A pack of plastic eggs like such as these (the size of the eggs is not that important)
- A permanent marker
- A sheet of paper with the alphabet written on it.
As preparation I wrote on each half egg the big and small letters of the alphabet (one letter group per egg) and then separated them.
Next I wrote the alphabet (small and big letters) on a piece of paper. This actually proved to be a challenge for me because towards the end I noticed that I forgot some of the letters. So the order of my alphabet is not quite right …. but I made sure that all letters are there, and in the end that's the most important ;-).
Also, don't worry if you have fewer eggs than the letters of the alphabet. I had the same issue, but you can read below what I handled it;-)
This is how we played our alphabet Easter egg hunt:
Lukas is 4 and does not yet know the letters. He had the task to "hunt for the big letters" and match them with the ones on the sheet of paper. Once he found them, he circled them and tried to trace them on the paper.
Victoria is 6 and she knows most of the letters but cannot write all of them just yet. Her task was to find and match the small letters with the big letters that Lukas found. And then, with the "help " of Elena (2 years), she re-assembled the matching half eggs to form an egg.
In our case, not all letters on the page had matching eggs (I had fewer eggs than the number of letters). So we adjusted the game and I challenged them to find out which were the letters that had no matching eggs.
They actually did not fully finish the game because Elena decided to do some color sorting, and Lukas started experimenting with light, so we moved to the next activity.
The plastic eggs come in different colors, so one of the Easter activities for kids that you can do is to invite the kids to sort the eggs (or half eggs) by color and/or by shape (the upper half of an egg has a different shape than the lower one).
I started playing this with Elena (to exercise her color vocabulary) but in all honesty this game also did not last too long. That's because Lukas decided to try something else, which got everybody super excited, so we all moved to the next Easter activity for kids.
Like I said before, Lukas decided to try something new with the plastic eggs. He figured out that he could put half of and egg in front of his eye, and he'd look like a pirate!
Of course the color matching we did before was not as much fun as this new discovery, so everybody joined him.
Then he started adding more layers and noticed how the colors he was seeing were mixing resulting in different colors all together.
The plastic eggs are a bit transparent. So if you layer them in front of the eye and look towards the window or another source of light, you see the different colors and the combination effect.
This is a to difficult game for a 2 year old and Elena did not really get the concept of looking through the eggs. But she did her best to join the fun, which is also kind of sweet 🙂
Once Lukas had enough of this, I noticed he started stacking the half eggs into a tower. And that's how we moved to the next Easter activity for kids.
The task was simple, to make towers by putting half eggs one on top of the other. Then we thought of making 2 different towers: one tower by using only the upper half, and another one just the lower half. We wanted to see which tower is higher.
The kids soon noticed that stacking the upper half is relatively easy, while making a tower from the lower half of the plastic eggs is quite a challenge. This challenge got Victoria thinking … so her solution was to give the tower a point of support. That of course after trying out some different hypothesis 🙂
And once the towers are made, just watch the kids to see what else they come up with. In our case, Lukas decided to go the extra mile and this is the result: a bent tower 🙂
Yeah … we did all these different Easter activities for kids in one afternoon because short attention spans require more variation 🙂 However besides the first Easter activity for kids which I prepared in advance , I had nothing else planned and just followed the kids's lead. And we had a great time!
A small bonus, in case you're looking for more Easter activities for kids that involve plastic eggs I have a pinterest board with over 30 Easter activities for kids to inspire you (and me) and check also this egg creative challenge project with lots of other Easter activities for kids that turn around eggs.
Are you doing any Easter activities for kids involving plastic eggs? If so, do share! I'm always interested to hear what others are doing.

Great topic, but video has serious granularity problems :(
@mark: Hi mark. Sorry for the video problems. I messed something up somewhere along the way. I have re-processed the vid and the HiQuality files are much better. The default vid may still be choppy depending on bandwidth.
@SlickThought: Video is clear now :) You've done a nice job of isolating DI-->XAML without getting the viewer lost in a complex example. Well worth the viewing!
nice job! focused and demonstrable.
@cellra: I am constructing the dependency in XAML and then binding it to the property I want to inject into. There is no code behind used for the injection itself.
