Winter wardrobe staples
Whatwhatwear.com suggests these winter wardrobe staples:
A big, black wool coat or navy peacoat: Don't skimp on quality or thickness when it comes to your wear-with-everything coat. Opt for a neutral color — black or navy — as you may end up wearing this every day. Be sure it is roomy, as it needs to fit over many layers. Ideally, your coat should be able to work with dressier pieces, too, so a style in a nice wool or boucle would be best.
A lined Army or puffer jacket: Either of these is more casual and street-warrior like than the wool or peacoat. Be sure it is lined and cozy, as well as equipped with a hood and pockets.
Fashionable all-weather boots: The key to a happy winter is to have warm feet. A flat boot with a good tread and at least mid-calf high can get you from work to home, and to errands. A fully functional boot can help you brave any storm, and a day-to-day flat boot is handy, too.
Cashmere hat, mitten and scarf: There is a reason cashmere is considered luxurious and is often pricey. It is super-soft, warm and comforting. Invest in a hat, pair of mittens and a big scarf — in neutral colors — and wear with everything.
Leather pants: Fitted leather leggings can withstand cold winds and elevate every look.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/8/2011 (2181 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I was walking in Assiniboine Park last Saturday morning with some friends when we heard bagpipes.
It was 8:30 a.m. -- a strange time to hear a piper in the park.
Somebody was piping Garry Owen, the music Gen. George Custer ordered played as his U.S. 7th Cavalry rolled toward the so-called last stand at the Battle of the Little Big Horn.
I looked, and off in the distance there he was, standing by a picnic bench near the cricket pitch.
The lone piper.
But apparently he wasn't alone. Someone else appeared to be lying on the picnic bench. There was something about the music and the lone piper that was drawing me to him. I wondered who he was and why he was there.
By the time we reached the picnic bench he was seated, playing a chanter and serenading a woman who was still stretched out on the table.
Actually, there were two other women on the bench. They were pictured inside the bagpipe case with a small American flag wrapped around the handle. One photo was of the courageous aviator Amelia Earhart, the other Custer's wife, Libbie.
Then, like piping in the park, I heard something else I wasn't expecting.
"I know you," the piper said.
Whereupon he introduced himself.
"I'm Gary Watkins."
"Gary," I burst out smiling.
With that, I wrapped my arms around him as if I'd found a long-lost brother. And in a way, I had.
-- -- --
Gary Watkins and I played hockey together for one season at Bourkevale Community Club. He was one of those naturals: a tough, darkly handsome kid with fire in his eyes who eventually would be placed on the Detroit Red Wings protected list.
But instead he ended up in the Vietnam War.
I knew that, but it wasn't until we met a few days later across the footbridge at the Joe Black Coffee Bar that I learned the rest of the story. He said the Red Wings had wanted him to report to play junior hockey in Flin Flon. Gary wanted to see the world.
"I didn't know there was a war at that time," he said.
So shortly after his 18th birthday on a November night in 1964, he snuck out of his parents' St. James home, destined for an American military recruiting office in Grand Forks, N.D. To do it, he engaged the help of his best friend.
"I told my dog not to bark," he said, "and I climbed out the basement window."
The U.S. Navy took him and, sensing he was tough and a natural in another way, sent him to a so-called school for escape, resistance and evasion on an island in Washington state.
It was a mock prisoner-of-war camp, with a twist.
And humiliation.
Gary and the others would endure the prospect of voluntarily crawling in a corner and barking like a dog.
"They would do it," Gary explained, "so they wouldn't have to go back in the coffin."
The coffin?
"Yeah they would put us in coffins."
Gary remembered how he had to cross his legs and kneel, then the coffin would be closed on top of him.
Instinctively, Gary used mind control to endure the hour or what felt that long. He focused on the only thing he knew by heart: the Lord's Prayer.
It's not that he was religious, it's just that he'd heard it every morning at Assiniboine School, and now he was repeating it over and over again inside the coffin.
Meanwhile, the constricted blood flow from kneeling in the coffin left him numb from the waist down.
"What it taught me," he said of the experience, "was my inner core and who I was."
What the 19-year-old had found at his inner core was molten anger.
And this is how he felt when he crawled out of the coffin.
"Go ahead, shoot me."
Gary Watkins was ready for Vietnam.
When he got there he would be assigned to be a rear-door gunner on a shoot-and-destroy helicopter that ferried Navy Seals back and forth in the Mekong Delta.
He would survive crashes and firefights. And just over a year after he arrived, he would leave with the kind of numbness of the mind that comes from carrying the psychological weight of all the coffins his buddies would never crawl out of. And a feeling of impacted guilt "that I could have done more," he said.
That's his connection with Custer and the reason he carries Libbie Custer's photo. Because of her own anger at the officer who didn't do more when the general sent a message asking for support.
But there's another connection; Gary knows the feeling of being surrounded in a firefight and what goes through your mind.
First you hope your firearm won't jam. Then you hope you're not going to run out of ammunition.
And finally?
"You hope you're going to have a bullet left for yourself."
By 2004 Gary had three university degrees, two grown daughters, was divorced and was on the road most of the year with his bagpipes, living out of his rust-rimmed truck. It was that year, somewhere in Montana, that he hit the end of the road emotionally.
"I couldn't get out of the truck."
He found a veterans' hospital in California where he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and granted a disability pension. This is how he described the feeling or lack thereof: "Life becomes a flat screen. All three dimensions are gone and you can't feel.
"That's the situations I have with relationships. I can't feel."
That made me wonder about the woman on the picnic bench.
"She loves me," Gary said. "But I can't give her what she wants."
And then he said this: "I would have to consider myself a human tragedy."
-- -- --
I drove Gary over to Bourkevale Community Club and parked beside the hockey rink where we both played as kids. Where he once found the happiness he said he can't find anymore.
But as we talked, Gary acknowledged something: Despite his emotional numbness, he is happy when he's playing the bagpipes because he sees the joy it brings others.
He's happy when he reaches out with his music.
The way he did that early morning in the park when I was walking by and his piping drew me to him.
It was near the end of our three hours together that I decided I needed to tell Gary how I felt about him.
"You're not a human tragedy," I assured him. "You're a human triumph."

I've been lazy and not posting. I forgot to post that Xynzelle is back! After finding a balance between life and WoW, he has decided to come back to WoW and is being carried/dragged through ICC and picking up some loot along the way.
Of course it won't take him long to find his feet and be back on the top of his game again, in typical Xynzelle style, as he is one of the best mages I know, as well as being loyal, amusing and a great team player. Even Hyad likes to poke fun at Xyn, saying in raid the other day "Who is that mage whose DPS is lower than mine?".
Xyn tells me he has put his computer next to his wife's sewing machine - so they can spend more time together while he plays. Now isn't that cute?

Hadoop, Security, and the EnterpriseApril 30, 2013
eWeek recently published an article/slide deck on 10 reasons why Hadoop poses a big data security risk. As I mentioned a few months ago in a blog post that talked about our release of DataStax Enterprise (DSE) 3.0, the fact that NoSQL databases are lax on security was something getting attention last year in the tech media. I'm happy to say that, with DSE 3.0, enterprise quality security in the NoSQL world is no longer an afterthought.
But the eWeek article demonstrates that the same concerns exist where Hadoop implementations are concerned. The article says: "It [Hadoop] was not written to support hardened security, compliance, encryption, policy enablement and risk management."
Because DSE is a single integrated platform that includes Apache Cassandra for online application use cases, Solr for enterprise search, and Hadoop for batch analytics, we wanted to make sure we had the security bases covered in our platform for each technology. The good news for Hadoop users is that many of the security concerns called out by eWeek are handled in DSE.
For example, eWeek says, "Hadoop also doesn't support encryption on nodes or on data in transit between nodes". That's not true in DSE. Because we use Cassandra for storage vs. HDFS, the transparent data encryption we offer in DSE applies to Hadoop data. Moreover, DSE also supplies client-to-node and node-to-node encryption of data for Hadoop as well as Cassandra and Solr.
eWeek also states, "The distributed nature of Hadoop clusters also renders many traditional backup and recovery methods and policies ineffective. Companies using Hadoop need to replicate, back up and store data in a separate, secured environment." In the same vein, they state later: "Traditional data security technologies have been built on the concept of protecting a single physical entity (like a database or server), not the uniquely distributed big data computing environments characterized by Hadoop clusters. Traditional security technologies are not effective in this type of distributed, large-scale environment."
One of the nice things about the Hadoop component of DSE is that automatic redundancy and replication is built in to the platform itself, so all of the goodness of Cassandra – which is architected specifically for distributed, large-scale environments – is inherited on the Hadoop (and Solr) side. This equates into Hadoop data being easily replicated in one location or many; across one datacenter or multiple centers; across one cloud availability zone or several zones. Further, it means no single point of failure or write bottleneck as data can be written to and read in any location.
Backups aren't hard either as all data is stored in Cassandra column families / tables, so typical snapshot backups and recovery tasks are uniform across a cluster.
So if you're interested in easily integrating Hadoop batch analytics with your modern line-of-business applications and want to ensure both are secured, you should give DSE 3.0 a try. Download DSE, which is completely free to use without restrictions in development environments (note that production deployments do require a software subscription) and see how it can satisfy both your big data needs and your requirements for security.

The Complexity of Carbon Reduction in Planning
Karlenzig writes, "To help illustrate the complexities of what I'm getting at, water use in California accounts for 20 percent of energy needed to move water supplies from places with water to those largely without; much energy is also used to treat drinking water and wastewater.
Renewable energy sources such as solar thermal generating plants also require great amounts of water, competing for precious water supplies that can be used for drinking water and growing or processing food.
So where do water, oil or grain shortages fit in your city's or region's sustainability plan? There are no easy answers, and metro regions and cities will want to collectively consider their own energy, water and food sources when trying to assess combined carbon reduction goals and resource depletion risk factors."

The Flagship Delivered The Goods: Amsterdam Cruise Review by Kishore P
Overall Member Rating
The Flagship Delivered The Goods
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Seattle
We were in Cabin 1820 on the Dolphin deck. We were happy with the ocean view however the cabin was a little more forward then we prefer. The next day the sea was rough and we really felt it in that forward cabin, the DW had to order some green apples and crackers to get through the evening. There were four of us the cabin and it was surprising that we had enough room to hang up all of clothes, also the closest have adjustable shelves that you can kind of customize. The only time we really felt crowded was getting ready from dinner.
We were very surprised at the cleanliness of the ship. It was well maintained and it is worthy to note that if a ship of this age was so well kept up. Since I have been on other cruise lines and ships, half their ages have shown wear and tear. There were always crews members cleaning and polishing.
As always, the focus of a cruise is the food. When we sailed HAL last we were a little disappointed since their food was a little bland. However, all of our expectations were exceeded on this sailing. We ordered room service breakfast most of the days and it was delivered hot and on time. In addition, if there is something that you want for breakfast just write it in on the card and it came. I was pleasantly surprised at this since I assumed you would only get this type of service in a suite. We had breakfast at the lido once and enjoyed the variety of dishes and omelets they served. On disembarkation day since we were up early anyway, we decided to eat in the restaurant. Of course the menu was much more limited that the plethora of choices on the Lido deck. However, that was brought to us was made fresh and the service was excellent even on the last hour that we were on the ship.
There was no AYWD on this cruise and we were relieved while I like to be progressive with how the cruise lines modernized and change with the time. I feel that dining is one thing that should be left alone, since I think that this is the only link that is still alive today when compared to cruising of old. Our dining team were one of the most professional servers that we have ever had. Our needs were always meet and by the second night, they knew our preferences. We did not have a bad dish the whole week. There was been plenty of criticism of the desserts that HAL serve, however we did not find this to be the case. We just put it into the hands of our waiter and asked which dessert we should get and he never failed us once. We had dinner at the Pinnacle Grill one evening to celebrate my son's 18th birthday. The service and food were fantastic and the beef dishes were on par with Morton's and Ruth Chris. We felt the 20.00 per person was well worth it and we will definitely go again when we return to HAL. The only issue we had is when we booked the reservation they asked if it was for a special occasion, I told them about my son's birthday, and he seemed to be making a note of that on the computer. However, nothing special was done for my son's birthday. During dessert, we thought they would bring out a special cake. Nevertheless, nothing ever materialized and after a two and half hour dinner, I really did not want to make an issue out of it. The next night in the regular dining room, we all celebrated with a cake.
We attended three shows. There was an Elton John tribute guy and a young magician both of these gentleman put on a real entertain show. I though that the boys would get bored at the Elton John Tribute, but they loved it. In addition, if you happened to be on this cruise I am the crazy person who actually kissed him on the cheek when we dared me to. We also stayed up late to watch the Indonesian Crew Show. This was kind of a variety show, where they would sing, dance and play instruments native to their country. It was awesome to be entertained and to learn a little culture at the same time.
We did not purchase any ship-sponsored excursions. In Juneau, we rented a car from Rent-a-Wreck. The picked us up from the pier and in the evening we parked the car in the garage that was located a short walk to the ship. In Sitka, we purchased a tour from the pier. In Ketchikan, we were going to purchase a tour, but several of the tour people in the office at the pier and outside, were very obnoxious and were acting as if they were doing us a favor by offering a tour. Therefore, we said no to everyone and did our own walking tour, which there are signs that direct you. We took the funicular up then walked down to the Hatchery and totem park, then back down around Creek street. We did not bother to get off in Victoria. We have been there before and felt were not missing much since is such a short stop, plus it was raining and we did not want to deal with since we had enough the previous day. When we returned to Seattle we had a late flight so we rented a car from Thrifty right their on the pier. We went to a Winery, Brewery, Pikes Market, and the Seattle Center.
With all the tours that we have done though, I felt the best time we had on this cruise was our day in Glacier Bay National Park. This day is what made this cruise. The glaciers were spectacular and we lost track how many times we saw a glacier calve.
Disembarkation was painless we had an 8:00 pm flight so we left the ship around 9:30am. I also like the fact that there were minimal announcements made during this time. In addition, it was nice to be able to stay in your cabin and just walk off the ship when your time came to leave.
This cruise exceeded all of expectations and we feel that Holland America Line has made extreme changes to their food and menu which makes there offerings much more palatable. Another point I would like to make is that we got a smile and hello from every crewmember that we came across. This is in stark contrast to other cruise lines that would not even acknowledge you if they were not serving you. In addition, announcements were kept to a minimum during our vacation. In addition, we never felt hounded to purchase something or to buy drinks. Actually, I noticed that I bought more drinks on this cruise, and I feel it is because I was not asked every five minutes if I wanted a drink. I feel the Crew and Staff of the Amsterdam went above beyond and we will definitely be returning to Holland America. Less

Cabin review: EE1820 Large Ocean-View Stateroom
Lots of closet space, family of four had enough space for all of our clothes for 7-Day Cruise There is a lot of traffic near the cabin, since you are near the medical office and also near the Housekeeping office. However there was never any noise to deal with, sometimes just more crew members then usual in the area.Read All Large Ocean-View Stateroom (EE) Reviews >>

Nothing caps off an evening celebrating like a midnight snack - or a 2 a.m. snack, as the case might be. And if you're an early-to-bed type, these egg-based dishes would taste just as good for brunch on New Year's Day. All five recipes are easy and relatively quick to make, especially if you do a little prep work before heading out for your night on the town. One recipe even has an added advantage - the dish called San Francisco Little Joe's is a variation of a classic called Joe's Special, a scramble of eggs, beef and spinach that San Franciscans swear can help prevent a hangover.
These recipes also are open to improvisation. Hate spinach but love mushrooms? Make the switch. Don't have bacon, pancetta or prosciutto on hand for the pasta frittata? Toss in diced kosher salami or crumble in sweet Italian sausage. And if you don't have pasta for the frittata, use cooked sliced potatoes instead to make a variation on a Spanish tortilla. If you don't have either, simply fry up the meat, scramble in the eggs and serve with hot buttered toast.
The breakfast pizza recipe calls for frozen bread dough, but we swapped out a bag of refrigerated dough, sold at Trader Joe's and sometimes at other stores. You also could use a tube of refrigerated pizza dough or a preformed pizza crust, such as Boboli.
The smoked salmon hash recipe starts with whole potatoes, but refrigerated cubed potatoes would make an easy stand-in. Frozen potatoes would work, too.
The final recipe, a breakfast club sandwich, is a glorified BLT minus the "L." You can add it in - a slightly bitter green such as arugula would be a nice contrast to the fatty bacon, mayo and avocado. To minimize the sandwich, try leaving out the tomato if good ones cannot be found or subbing regular mayonnaise and a splash of hot sauce for the three-ingredient spicy mayo.
So pull out a pan, put on the coffee (decaf might be wise), and enjoy a delicious ending to your New Year's night.
Smoked Salmon Hash
Yield: 4 servings
• 2 pounds potatoes (about 7 medium)
• Salt
• 1 pound hot-smoked or kippered salmon (see note)
• 1 small red onion, minced
• 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
• 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
• 1/4 cup capers, drained
• 1/4 cup sour cream, plus more for garnish
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 to 8 large poached eggs, optional (see note)
• Milk
1. Place potatoes in a large pan; cover with water. Bring to a boil, add a big pinch of salt, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely. (If making ahead, refrigerate until ready to proceed.) Peel and dice potatoes.
2. Shred salmon into a medium bowl. Add onion, horseradish, mustard, capers and 1/4 cup sour cream. Toss to combine; add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Melt butter in a large, heavy sauté pan; add oil. Add potatoes and sauté until golden brown and crisp. Add salmon mixture; toss to combine and heat through. Add more salt and pepper, if desired.
4. Divide hash among four plates. If desired, top each serving with 1 or 2 poached eggs. Thin some sour cream with a little milk; dollop over the hash. Serve immediately.

• Do not use cold-smoked salmon, which is too moist for this recipe.
• To poach eggs, fill a large skillet with water. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar (any kind) and salt to taste. Bring to a soft rolling boil. One at a time, break eggs into saucers and carefully tilt into the water. Cook until the whites are set and the centers are just soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from water with a slotted spoon.

Breakfast Pizza
Yield: 10 slices
• All-purpose flour
• 1 (16-ounce) loaf frozen whole-wheat bread dough, thawed (see note)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup sliced zucchini, halved, and/or green or red bell pepper pieces
• 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
• 8 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar and/or mozzarella cheese (6 ounces total), divided
• 2 slices bacon, cooked until crisp, drained and crumbled
• Bottled salsa, optional
1. Generously grease a 13-inch pizza pan. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a 14-inch circle. If dough is difficult to roll out, let it rest a few minutes, then resume rolling. Transfer dough to pizza pan. Build up edges slightly. Prick dough generously with a fork. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until light brown.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook zucchini and/or bell peppers, mushrooms and crushed red pepper, if using, until vegetables are almost tender. Remove from skillet and drain.
3. In a medium bowl, beat together eggs and milk. Place the skillet over medium heat; add butter. When butter melts, pour in egg mixture. Cook without stirring until mixture begins to set on the bottom and around the edges. Using a large spatula, lift and fold partially cooked eggs so the uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes or until eggs are scrambled, cooked through but still glossy and moist. Remove from heat.
4. Sprinkle 3/4 cup shredded cheese over the hot crust. Top with scrambled eggs, vegetable mixture, bacon and remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Return to the oven; bake for 5 to 8 minutes or until cheese melts.
5. Slice and serve immediately, with salsa if desired.
Per slice: 283 calories; 15 g fat; 6 g saturated fat; 193 mg cholesterol; 16 g protein; 23 g carbohydrate; 2 g fiber; 465 mg sodium.
Note: For an easier pizza, substitute refrigerated pizza dough for the bread dough. Bake according to package directions.

So I cut myself a bunch of sticks, and shaved a flat spot onto the end of each one. Easy peasy:
I let the flat sides dry in the sun a bit while I was planting, thinking this would prevent the ink from bleeding (not sure this matters, but whatever):
Using a UV stable felt pen, label your fancy-pants marker accordingly:
How cool is that? Now I've got a lovely set of matching rustic garden markers. And they're compostable, to boot.

Ahh, spring!

Conservation Landscaping
by Katherine Reshetiloff, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Reprinted from The Bay Journal, April 2004
Conservation Landscaping: How Saving the Bay Can Save You Time and Money
The goal of conservation landscaping is to reduce pollution and improve the local environment. In the Chesapeake Bay watershed, this style of landscaping is sometimes called BayScaping.
Conservation landscaping provides habitat for local and migratory animals, conserves native plants and improves water quality. Landowners benefit by reducing the time and expense of mowing, watering, fertilizing and treating lawn and garden areas. Conservation landscaping can also be used to address problems such as erosion, poor soils, steep slopes or poor drainage.
Many landscapes typically receive high inputs of chemicals, fertilizers, water and time. They require a lot of energy (human as well as gas-powered) to maintain. These inputs can be reduced through the application of organic alternatives, decreasing the area requiring gas-powered tools and using native plants that can be sustained with little watering and care.
A woodland garden provides privacy and a shady resting place for people and for wildlife. Layers of trees, shrubs and perennials offer habitat and yearlong food for wild visitors.
A butterfly feeds on nectar from a pinxter flower, one of Virginia's native azaleas.
One of the simplest ways to begin is by replacing lawn areas with locally native trees, shrubs and perennial plants. The structure, leaves, flowers, seeds, berries and other fruits of these plants provide food and shelter for a variety of birds and other wildlife. The roots of these larger plants are also deeper than those of typical lawn grass, and thus are better at holding soil and capturing rainwater.
Native plants naturally occur in the region in which they evolved. Because native plants are adapted to local soils and climate conditions, they generally require less water and fertilizer than nonnatives. Natives can be more resistant to insects and disease, and thus are less likely to need pesticides.
Wildlife have evolved with native plants and are able to use them for food, cover and to rear young. Using native plants helps to preserve the balance and beauty of natural ecosystems.
If gardens are to have the greatest ecological value for wildlife, it is necessary to mimic natural plant groups and incorporate features that provide as many habitat features as possible.
Plants are one of the most important features of an animal's habitat because they often provide most, or even all of an animal's habitat needs. Animals in turn help plants to reproduce through the dispersal of pollen, fruits or seeds. Consequently, plants and animals are interdependent and certain plants and animals are often found together.
Each plant prefers or tolerates a range of soil, sunlight, moisture, temperature and other conditions. Plants sharing similar requirements are likely to be found together in communities that make up different habitats like wetlands, meadows and forests. Matching plants with similar soil, sunlight, moisture and other requirements, and planting them according to existing site conditions will not only do a good job of approximating a natural habitat, but will also increase a plant's chance of survival.
For a few dollars, the Virginia Tech Soil Testing Laboratory can analyze a soil sample sent them. Soil sample boxes and forms are available from the Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District, at all Fairfax County Public Libraries, or at the local Virginia Cooperative Extension office. The results will include soil type (sand, clay, loam, etc.), pH and fertility status and recommendations for amending the soil to make it into "average garden soil." By selecting native species that thrive in the existing conditions, it won't be necessary to add soil, fertilizer, lime or compost. If you do alter soil conditions, then select plants suited to the new conditions.
Instead of isolated plantings, such as a tree in the middle of lawn, group trees, shrubs and perennials to create layers of vegetation. These layers provide the structure and variety needed for shelter, breeding or nesting for a diversity of wildlife.
To provide food and cover for wildlife year-round, include a variety of plants that produce seeds, nuts, berries or other fruits, or nectar. Use evergreens as well as deciduous plants. Allow stems and seed heads of flowers and grasses to remain standing throughout the fall and winter.
Once you begin to explore and experiment with native plants, you'll soon discover that many of these plants go beyond just replacing worn out selections in your yard. Native plants will eventually reduce your labor and maintenance costs, provide habitat for wildlife and create a sense of place.
Most nurseries carry some native plants, and some nurseries specialize in and carry a greater selection. As the demand for native plants has grown, so has the supply at nurseries.
A list of some of the many retail and wholesale nurseries in the Chesapeake Bay region is available from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Chesapeake Bay Field Office. Details on more than 400 native plants are included in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Chesapeake Bay Field Office publication Native Plants for Wildlife Habitat and Conservation Landscaping.

DIY Cheap Wedding Shoes In Silver or Gold
If you are searching for cheap wedding shoes...and I mean CHEAP, here are instructions for turning your favorite pair of sandals, heels, sling-backs or pumps into beautiful metallic silver wedding shoes. Gold metallic is just as easy, too. Did you know you can spray paint shoes?
Take any leather, fake leather or plastic pair of shoes in any color and you can turn them into metallic silver wedding shoes or metallic gold wedding shoes for the price of a can of spray paint. Yep, spray paint shoes!
Materials Needed:
The shoes pictured in these instructions are not traditional "wedding shoes" but they could be used as a back up pair for dancing. I've actually been wearing these with jeans...which isn't wedding related, but I wanted to show pictures of the process!
First, tape up any part of the cheap wedding shoes that you don't want spray painted silver or gold. Generally, you'll want to tape the inside of the shoe and the soles of the shoes.
Follow the instructions on the spray can as far as shaking and distance to spray. It is best to spray the silver or gold paint on the shoes small amounts at a time so it doesn't pool up and drip. Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area, and outside is even better. Protect all surfaces from the spray paint.
Let dry completely before moving or touching. Again, follow can instructions, but most will be dry to the touch within a few hours. It is best to wait 24 hours before pulling off the tape on your cheap wedding shoes or wearing them.
Unlike other types of paint, spray painted shoes actually last a long time. The paint will not flake off or peel off, but it can scratch and scuff over time. You can always touch up your spray paint shoes with a little more silver or gold. For cheap wedding shoes though, the price can't be beat! A perfectly simple way to transform your favorite pair of shoes into gold or silver wedding shoes.
It's your wedding, do it the way you want!

How NOT to get the wife interested in firearms!
My son found this on YouTube. I can't believe this guy actually survived childhood... Come to think of it, he's still there, so he may not!
FYI, this video falls in the "He can't really be stupid/mean enough to do that, can he?" category.
What a JERK!
Lol..I don't think its real. Idk I hope its not. He needs to buy a safe if it is cause she's handling that gun like a 10 yr old speacial needs kid.
That was also a video on how to get divorced.
I've seen that video before. I'm not sure if it's a preplanned thing or not. Yeah, he's an idiot. And so are people who think it's funny to hand a high recoil gun to an unsuspecting new shooter. :mad:
Hopefully, at some point, the wife will get her revenge. Maybe by using a taser on his @$&%, and posting it to youtube!
Looking at the expresions on her face and how she's handeling it, how she's 'pointing' it at the table, like this is the first time she's seen the gun, how he shows the firecrackers, and then appears behind her, I'm thinking it's a fake and she's 'acting'.
If he spent 30 minutes trying to show her "about guns", why would he leave the gun unattended (by a responsible party)? He's a jacka$$, plain and simple.
Her reactions both on and off camera look like real panic and anger to me. It's possible that she is somewhat learning disabled. It's also possible that he told/showed her it was empty and suggested she just "handle" it to get used to it.
I was curious about FTF reactions to this. Just about what I expected: (a) he's a jerk, (b) don't trust crap you see on the Internet, and (c) he's a jerk (twice for emphasis!)

I was really excited to use it bc I have really short and sparse lashes and from the claims made by others I thought I was going to be able to throw away my false eyelashes and finally be the envy of all my friends the natural way.

Decent for a Drugstore MascaraThe old version of Max Factor's 2000 Calorie Mascara was one of the first mascaras I ever saw in my Grandmother's bathroom. I was quite intrigued, being a 10 year-old with non-existent eye lashes. I was adopted and my Grandmother, Gammy, was a beautiful all american type lady.

I have fond memories of experimenting with crushed eye shadow and vaseline in her bathroom. I miss her. It's been reformulated into 2000 Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper ($ since then and I actually am not as pleased as I thought I'd be. The brush is fine, the formula is okay but I wouldn't say it fattens my lashes and really volumizes (for that I say go with L'Oreal Voluminous). It's good at separating but it seems like a regular mascara. Even with 3 coats I still craved more. Overall, not bad, but not awesome either. That being said, lots of people on Makeup Alley liked it.

My Reasons for Reporting This

Kurt Garvin lived for soccer.
He played for his dad's soccer team at Princeton High School.
He was an active player for the Princeton Futball Club.
He was volunteer girls soccer coach at Princeton High School.
And when he wasn't playing or coach soccer, he was watching it.
He was what you'd call a world class soccer fan.
Tragically, Kurt lost his life Saturday afternoon, killed in a motorcycle accident near Dixon. He was 28.
He will not be soon forgotten. A soccer tournament previously slated for Sunday at Zearing Park will now be called the Kurt Garvin Memorial Soccer Festival. There will be 12 teams, including a men's division, one for 19U boys, one for 19U girls and one for 14U girls, playing the game Kurt loved so well.
The Princeton Futball Club will retire Garvin's No. 3 and will start its first match short-handed at left defensive back to honor their fallen teammate.
Kurt, a Princeton Firefighter and EMT, would be the first one there to watch and would have been playing for the PFC.
"He loved soccer more than anything. He loved to play, to coach and to watch," said PHS varsity girls coach Ed Young, who refers to Garvin as his best friend and confidant. "Kurt was the most genuine person I know. He was loving, kind, compassionate, empathetic, and patient. He listened and understood. He advised beyond his years. I loved Kurt like a son. I was thrilled to be mentoring him on soccer, and life, but I realize, it was he, who was growing me.
"I believe our Heavenly Father has called Kurt to coach for God. Kurt is permeating all the lives he encountered. The effluence Kurt had on people the moment you met him was peaceful. Kurt's words never had venom or vinegar. Even when he was telling me, I needed to re-evaluate the situation, it was done with love."
Kurt, who was likely to be named as the new F/S girls coach at PHS, was very good at teaching the game.
"He infected the girls with passion and love," Young said. "The success we have had was due to the defense and keepers competing at a high level and being intelligent Kurt educated prepared them for the various situations that could arise. Kurt's passion and understanding of the game was visible in the players he trained. ... It's hard to imagine the soccer program without Kurt."
Kelly Schmidt, the 2014 BCR Soccer Player of the Year from Princeton, said Garvin taught her almost everything she knows about playing keeper and would never been the player she is without him.
"I feel so incredibly lucky to know Garv. His love for the game was infectious. He always pushed us really hard in practices and games, but it was only to our benefit," she said. "He was always supportive and encouraging."
Kurt was an overall good guy and always enjoyed our conversations. My heart goes out to his family, including his parents, John and Sue, and his brother, John, as well as his many friends. Your loss is shared by many.
The PFC will be selling T-shirts to honor Kurt, featuring the favorite things of his life — a soccer ball, the Princeton Firefighter and Jaycees logos, a bat for his love for Darknight, and the inscription, I BELIEVE.
For pre-orders, contact Young at 815-876-6408 or email@example.com.
Go out to the soccer pitch Sunday. You will no doubt feel Kurt's presence. I believe the Princeton FC will win, for Kurt.
• Ashton Landrus, the 12-year-old miracle boy from Princeton, continues to make great strides from his recent illness. He's been a fighter and a source of inspiration and faith for many who have followed his ordeal.
He got a special visit at the hospital from the Peoria Chiefs along with the many friends and family. Keep up the hike, Ashton.
Kevin Hieronymus is the BCR Sports Editor. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

If you are viewing your text usage online, you can only go back as far as 3 months. This will only show you the time, date and the number the message was sent to or received from.
If you have a court's subpoena, the actual content of the text message will not be available if it has been more than 240 hours(10 days) since the message was delivered.

Hoffman Estates, Ill. -- Sears Holdings' second-quarter loss widened as the company was challenged with store closings, weak sales and deep discounts. Its performance was also impacted by the lingering effects from its spinoff of its Hometown and Outlet Stores banner.
For the period ended Aug. 3, Sears lost $194 million, compared with a loss of $132 million in the year-ago period.
Revenue dropped 6% to $8.87 billion, from $9.47 billion. Same-store sales fell 1.5%, with a 2.1% drop at Kmart and a 0.8% drop at Sears.
Sears chairman and CEO Eddie Lampert said he was "disappointed" in the chain's results. But he cited "meaningful progress" during the quarter with the company's Shop Your Way loyalty program, whose members represented over 65% of sales.
"While the increase in Shop Your Way promotional activity and member redemptions resulted in a meaningful increase in our costs, it demonstrates that our members are deepening their engagement with our program, which will allow us to further accelerate our transformation," Lampert said.

Science B (4500)
GCSE Science B aims to give students an understanding of how Science affects and applies to everyday life by putting Science in context. The Biology, Chemistry and Physics content is integrated to show how Science is everywhere in our lives.
The specification is based on themes rather than the different scientific disciplines. It aims to give students an understanding of basic scientific concepts in a way that brings them to life and makes the knowledge relevant, rather than look at Science for its own sake. It also gives students an insight into why the work of scientists is important.
It is suitable for students of all abilities, whether they intend further study in Science or not. It encourages students to develop practical scientific skills.
When combined with GCSE Additional Science it can form the Science component of the English Baccalaureate (Ebacc) if students achieve grades A* to C in both GCSEs.
It forms part of AQA's flexible suite of GCSE Science exams which offer teachers a variety of possibilities and combinations to help students achieve to the best of their abilities in single, double and triple Science.
