Organic Home Gardens!!!
With the healthy eating craze focusing on organic and fresh I am loving the idea of incorporating a small organic garden into my new landscape plans.
When I was little my father thought it would be a fun activity to have a garden. Plowing an acre, my brother, Mom and I were left to hoe, weed, and pick. I began to not think gardening was not so fun. After 40 years, I am ready to give it a try again. Searching the Pinterest sphere, I found so many ideas which would if scaled back, be manageable and beautifully work into my yards new look.
This stunning outdoor garden has a beautiful combination of vegetables and flowers and is featured on the cover of photographer George LeVeque's book French Garden Style, available for purchase here!)
How pretty is this herb garden combined with stepping stones?
Planting vegetables inside boxwood patterns and mixing them with flowers really creates an artful impact!
This beautiful garden has some wonderful elements which could be used on a smaller scale like mixing dark and light wood tones, using metal arbors, or creating planter boxes from basket weave.
Foregoing traditional boxes and planting within the limits of existing pathways allows you to get creative without too much commitment!
This herb and vegetable garden designed by Statile and Todd Landscape Contractors is lovely!
Here is a garden at one of my client's houses. I love the gravel around it and stone surrounds! So French!
A full producing garden, it also adds so much to their exquisite landscaping!
Here is another client's home who is just beginning her raised garden. By raising the beds it is easier to get the proper irrigation.
Here is the same client's charming rose garden in its beginning phases. When complete it will feature a French fountain.
If you want something with little maintenance this kitchen counter herb garden is beyond adorable. What a great gift this would make!
Need a bit of inspiration before you begin? Check out these Garden Box Layout Ideas published by Better Homes and Gardens ! One of my besties son's, Matthew, and his friend Jacob started an agricultural development company in Houston called Old School Produce. Drawing upon their shared passion for organic eating and Jacob's degree in biological science, they now sell fresh vegetables at a farmers market, provide organic, exotic produce to restaurants, and help people set up their own organic gardens! He and Jacob were the perfect ones for me find out a bit more info.
I was most interested in the rare and unusual varieties of plants which they grow. Right now the ghost pepper is their favorite; a real pure heat to kick up anything without adding a pepper taste. The scorpion and purple cayenne pepper they produce may be too hot for your liking. If so, let them sit in a jar of olive oil or apple cider vinegar then remove the seeds. Wonderful flavor without the burn!
They grow their produce to sell out of their trademark hydro planter - an automated raised garden that utilizes water in a closed loop to minimize water loss. Mixing this with innovative composting methods, they are able to grow almost anything all year-round.
This would be a wonderful sized garden to start with and pretty on the patio, especially with the right finish on the wood. If you are in Houston, visit Matt and Jacob at their Old School Produce booth every Sat from 9-1 at the Farm Stand at Petrol Station or you can visit their website by clicking here!
Source If you don't want to grow your veggies but want home grown and organic, check out Farmhouse Delivery! I had a client tell me about them and I am now getting fresh, locally grown, organic produce and dairy delivered to my home once a week. I have found that it is no more expensive than the grocery and it saves me a trip to the store! I know they deliver to Austin and Houston, but to see if they are available in your area check out their website. My favorite purchases were the vegetables, eggs, and milk. I hope everyone has a great week! Next week- a house update-promise. We are now living in two rooms—so fun!!! Xo Leslie

I have a 30" digital MES. I also have a A-maze-n pellet tray but every time I use it, all the pellets end up all igniting seen here:
I posted about this problem here:
[url=http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/172377/smoking-14lb-brisket-in-mes-30#post_1263025]Smoking 14lb brisket in MES 30[/url]
These are the pellets I have so I will try again but every time same thing happens.
So my first attempt at pulled pork was last year when I tried to do an Mazda install meet at my new house. I planned to feed everyone. I failed because my wife set the smoker to 170. Eventually I raised temp. Luckily I didn't die cause that was way too low. Pork finished some time that next morning after people were long gone.
I had bought two shoulders from Costco and am going to be smoking the other one this weekend for Grandmothers 90th birthday 3pm Saturday at the Farm. So figure need to Rub tomorrow morning and put in smoker around 11pm-12am tomorrow night.
It is a 10lb boneless pork shoulder:
Plan to cook like this

and use this finishing sauce.

Was thinking of purchasing Jeffs rub and sauce recipe but I am broke so will have to figure out something for free this time. Hope it all comes out good.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/12/2011 (2081 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
There was a time when the holiday season was mostly about religion. Now, it's mostly an economic indicator tracking retail sales. And I say to heck with it.
World stock markets did a happy dance last Monday when it was announced that U.S. retail sales jumped 16 per cent from last year's tally, setting a record. Black Friday is the Friday after American Thursday Thanksgiving when retailers hope the start of pre-Christmas sales will change the ink in their ledgers from red to black.
Not everyone was happy with the sales figures. Derek Holt and Karen Cordes Woods of Scotia Capital said they don't take into account the record hours that stores were open and the deep discounts some retailers were forced to offer.
Cyber Monday, which comes right after Black Friday, saw online spending pass $1 billion for the first time. With black this and cyber that, it's obvious we have a whole new set of holidays. Christmas, Hanukkah and other religious celebrations are disappearing from popular view.
Lack of cash doesn't prevent some Canadians from joining the new holiday celebration. A Canada Trust survey shows 43 per cent of them buy presents on their credit cards, up from 29 per cent in 2008. About 48 per cent of them say they exceed their holiday budget before the holidays arrive.
One reason for the credit card use is that paycheques are not keeping up with the cost of living in Canada. Statistics Canada says the average Canadian wage declined in September -- 0.3 per cent to $872.75 a week. In Manitoba, the decline was even more pronounced -- 0.6 per cent to $811.74
Retailers of sporting goods, hobbies, books and music have sales of $1.67 billion in December, compared with $886 million in the remainder of the year, says Report on Business. Electronics and appliance stores sell goods valued at $2.15 billion in December and $1.06 billion from January to November.
Canadian retailers, worried by the number of customers who go south to shop, are trying to unleash a Black Friday in this country, even though we don't have a holiday weekend, "I think it's completely disgusting, because it just means U.S. consumer values are now really affecting us," Vanessa Delzingara, a Toronto teacher, told The Canadian Press.
I share her feelings. That's why I've decided this year to look after some wild animals.
My gifts will allow my children to help a Canadian animal that's in trouble. I'm getting the gifts through Nature Conservancy Canada, which is dedicated to preserving and enhancing our wilderness.
It's not going to work. I've tried this before. One holiday season, I made it possible, through a Mennonite organization, for my children to give goats to poor Africans. Another year, it was outdoor toilets. My children were not impressed, basically because they, like many of us, are besotted by commercialism.
Their motto: "I give you a gift, and you give me a gift, preferably in pink."
I'd be delighted if my children gave me a paper that said I was helping animals with problems such as the saw-whet owl in Manitoba, the grizzly and the critically imperilled Newfoundland marten.
I gave my sister, a rancher/teacher in north-central B.C., an owl. She has a barn, and she has owls. But she took some delight in wandering into the barn and shouting at the hooters: "I've given to your union. Now I expect you to catch more rodents." I sometimes wonder about her sanity.
I have to confess that filling out a form and a cheque for the Nature Conservancy or other charities is easier than being jounced around by surging mobs of desperate humanity in shopping malls. I admit it: I'm a lazy do-gooder, the most insipid kind.
I don't care. Next time I meet a tiny northern saw-whet owl, I can look into its sad, saucer eyes and say: "Hey, little guy, I'm trying the best I can." -- without going too far from my easy chair.

Famous road racer Guy Martin is in Utah to break two-wheeled world land speed record. The record attempt was held today but he had to postpone his attempt due to the wet track on the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. The two-wheeler for this attempt is the Triumph Infor Rocket streamliner.
The streamliner is packed with two 2.3, methanol fuelled Triumph Rocket III motors. These motors are heavily modified with reduced capacity will allow the streamliner to compete in the 3.0-litre class and it churns out 1000bhp.
The Triumph streamliner is constructed from a full carbon-fibre monocoque structure which means that the component parts can be bolted on directly. This helps to reduce weight and increase strength. Matt Markstaller designed this streamliner.
The current two-wheeled land speed world record is 376.36 mph (605.69 km/h) set by Rocky Robinson in 2010, riding the Top Oil-Ack Attack Streamliner. Martin will be attempting to break 400 mph (643.73 km/h) and the streamliner is capable of doing it says Triumph.
Guy Martin said: "The Triumph engineers have built an amazing machine, giving us the very best chance to beat the two-wheeled land speed record."
Guy is now concentrating on breaking records and he has many records under his belt. His world record includes fastest speed on a gravity-powered snow sled, fastest in a soap box and highest speed on a wall of death. Let's wait and see whether he can achieve the magical number, 400 mph.

Spiceworks was unable to connect to this device. This can happen for a number of reasons such as a firewalls, network timeouts, or permission problems (or even a problem in our Application!).

Have you tried the suggestions mentioned in the Spiceworks help (as recommended by the error message)? This one might be relevant:
May 11, 2007 at 8:45 UTC
I try all the solution and always the same thing. All my device are unknown and can't detect the OS or anything like that ???
any solutions ???
thx all
May 14, 2007 at 1:57 UTC
I need help. Somebody have an idea thx :)
My network use:

I have about 50 computers but all the computer are unknown thx.
May 14, 2007 at 3:33 UTC
So we can help you further, based on the Help page that you went through and also listed above, can you post some brief results?
Do you have Spiceworks installed on a server or workstation?
If you have zero results, one suggestion would be to troubleshoot scanning on one remote machine. Temporarily disable the Firewall on the machine that Spiceworks is installed and run a brief scan.
Did it pickup that remote computer?
If not, did you run the Netsh command on the remote machine and rescan?
What information was returned when you performed the WMIC command? Did you receive a serial number? If not, have you setup the proper permissions on that remote box? (Help article) This will establish that WMI requests are being received successfully to the remote machine.
Have you checked out the DCOM settings and insured that it is also configured properly?

Actual Results: The position: fixed header vanishes. Expected Results: The position: fixed header should still be anchored to the top-left of the viewport. It appears to be positioning the fixed element against the page, so if you only scroll down 1 line and then resize/reload the position: fixed element is then locked partially off the top of the viewport. Each time a reflow occurs (reload or resize window) the element is re-anchored based on the scroll position of the page. This bug is currently causing ChatZilla to not have any header boxes, as they use position: fixed (that's how I found it :) ).

This regression is pretty recent, I believe, as I have only noticed it the past couple of days - it happens on my 2004110603 build, and CTho's 20041104 build, but (for reference) not Firefox 1.0 branch. I'm going to try to get some nightly builds now, but my initial guess is that it's regressed in the past week or two at most.

CCing bz since his bug looks related.
Comment 4•

The problem is that the CSS specification is somewhat self-contradictory here. 1) The fixed-position div should not move when we scroll. 2) Since it has auto top and bottom, its position depends on where it would show up if it were statically positioned. 3) Where it would show up if statically positioned depends on the scroll position. Note that before the checkin for bug 266968 we mishandled scrolling when calculating static positions. So the testcase in this bug rendered consistently, but absolutely positioned divs wouldn't render right if things got scrolled. Now we account for the scroll position correctly, and this bug results. I've sent mail to firstname.lastname@example.com regarding this inconsistancy... let's see what they say. Taking, I guess. As for Chatzilla, I recommend specifying some offsets. You might want to file a separate bug on that.

The mail I sent is at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2004Nov/0031.html Note that my proposed changes to the spec to remove the contradiction will probably leave chatzilla broken if implemented.

Ah, it turns out it was only my custom output window that lacked a top property for the header in ChatZilla - the built-in one does specify top: 0px and is thus not affected by this change in behaviour.

I have a hunch that Tuesday's news about Disney and Lucasfilm had lots of fans scrambling with last minute costume changes. Meagan Finnerty may have had this clever Mickey Mouse Princess Leia mash-up planned though. She is the casting coordinator for Star Wars: The Clone Wars and also Supervising Director Dave Filoni's assistant; she might have had some inside knowledge.
I hope this neat idea translates into a wearable headband at Disney parks.

Day 2: Lhasa. Be picked up from hotel about 8:30 am, drive to visit Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple and Barkhor Street. Potala Palace: Former winter home of the Dalai Lama, a vast, awe-inspiring maze of corridors and stairs leading through countless rooms of richly decorated statues, tombs, murals and antiques. You will climb past the White Palace into the Red Palace, where the file of pilgrims offering silk scarves, coins or yak butter to burn in the shrines combine to make this an unforgettable experience. Note: you need to be fit for the long stairways. Jokhang Temple: Smaller and more manageable than the Potala, this 4-storey, golden-roofed temple is at the heart of a rich and living Tibetan Buddhism. Many locals pray here regularly; the Temple is surrounded by Barkhor Street and thronged with pilgrims and visitors. Yak butter lamps burn in front of rich statuary that includes the Sakyamuni Buddha brought to Tibet by Princess Wen Cheng in the 7th Century.
Barkhor Street: Watch the pilgrims, wearing local dress from many different parts of Tibet, as they circle clockwise around Jokhang Temple with prayer wheels, or prostrate themselves near the front gate. Join the locals and visitors to shop for local goods at the colourful stalls, or relax in a coffee shop or tea house to enjoy the passing parade. Tibet Steak House: Steak House belongs to the same restaurateurs with Snowland Restaurant, mainly caters Western and Tibetan cuisine to overseas tourists.

It was constructed as a summer palace for the Dalai Lama and later served the whole governmental administration.
Drepung Monastery: Drepung Monastery lies in west of Lhasa under Mt. Gambo Utse, clustered round by the black mountain, its white grand buildings shining under the sunlight. Built in 1416, it is considered as one of the largest monasteries in the six principle monasteries of Gelu Sect in China.

Biitu was the Biituian homeworld in the Cassandran Worlds region.
Biitu was an agriworld in the Cassander sector of the Outer Rim Territories. It was home to several species of plants, including a fruit tree that produced an orange-colored, edible fruit, and a green-stalked plant that produced a yellow, cylindrical crop. Both of these species were cultivated by the native Biituians. The planet was also home to an orange-plumed, flight-capable bird, a yellow, burrowing reptile, and the timid Biituian fen-hare. Mungo Baobab, a visitor to the planet, rode a rockhopper while scouting out on the planet's surface.
Biitu was a low-tech agriworld. During the Outer Rim Sieges of the Clone Wars, Jedi General Traavis led clone forces to war against the CIS on this planet. When Mungo Baobab discovered a valuable fuel source on Biitu, the Galactic Empire dispatched a gigantic evil droid called the "Great Heep" to capture Mungo and take control of the planet and turn it into a wasteland. With the aid of a small boy named Fidge and his pet, Chubb, the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO devised a daring scheme to free Mungo, defeat the forces of the Empire and liberate Biitu from the Great Heep. During the Galactic Civil War, the Rebel Alliance kept a small outpost on Biitu from where they could launch supply shuttles to nearby systems, since it was a planet the Galactic Empire had generally ignored after the incident with the Great Heep.
From 4 ABY to 12 ABY, the planet became part of the Pentastar Alignment until the death of Ardus Kaine. It would soon become part of the Imperial Remnant.

Ranking closers based on how bad they've looked at the plate.
Roster expansion begins today, so last night's Giants/Dodgers game may be the the last of the season where a reliever batted for both teams. To celebrate the Chris Hatchers and George Kontoses (Konti?) of the world, here's a GIF-laden look at the ones who bat least and why it's often well-deserved. This article originally ran on August 22, 2013.
On Wednesday night, Aroldis Chapman entered an 8-6 game in relief of an injured Jonathan Broxton, who faced two batters in the top of the eighth before his elbow cut his outing short. It was the first time Chapman had been asked to get more than three outs all season. And because a "distraught" Dusty Baker screwed up the double switch, Chapman also made his first major-league plate appearance in the bottom of the inning.

Sometimes starters get sick, and they start a game anyway. After that, things often get ugly. We should celebrate their sacrifice.
Sometimes we run Wayback articles because they are relevant to the news cycle. Sometimes we run them because they are wonderful and have great GIFs. This article originally ran on August 10, 2012.
Earlier this year, 28-year-old pitcher Paul Phillips of the Atlantic League Somerset Patriots was scheduled to start a game against the Camden Riversharks. Phillips, who was drafted by the Blue Jays in 2005 and bounced around Toronto's and Tampa Bay's systems until last season, entered that game with a league-leading 1.76 ERA. Phillips was Somerset's ace, if the Atlantic League has aces. But Phillips wasn't feeling well.

The great Detroit rebuild of the 2000s may have been Dave Dombrowski's greatest achievement.
Nine years ago, the Tigers had the best record in baseball, just three years removed from being historically terrible. This is Part One of how this team came together under the guidance of now-departed GM Dave Dombrowski. This article originally ran on August 7, 2006.
There are so many ways to enjoy the game of baseball. If you're like most baseball fans--and certainly if you're like most fans who would frequent a site devoted to baseball analysis like this--there are few things about the game you enjoy more than the intellectual challenge of figuring out how to win. If baseball is a sport designed to appeal to barstool arguments like no other, it is because those arguments, from whether Mickey Mantle was better than Willie Mays to why Billy Beane's, ahhhh... stuff doesn't work in the playoffs, are exercises that really leave us arguing about what really makes a winning team.
August 6, 2015 6:00 am
The continuing story of how Dave Dombrowski began nearly a decade of winning in Detroit.
Nine years ago, the Tigers had the best record in baseball, just three years removed from being historically terrible. This is Part Two (read Part One first) of how this team came together under the guidance of now-departed GM Dave Dombrowski. This article originally ran on August 8, 2006.
A month after nabbing their franchise shortstop, the Tigers signed a franchise catcher, Ivan Rodriguez. On the surface, this made all kinds of sense; it's not often you get the opportunity to sign a surefire Hall of Famer who just turned 32. On the other hand, catchers age quickly, and Rodriguez caught more games (1564) before his 32nd birthday than anyone other than Johnny Bench, who was finished as a catcher by the time he turned 33 and was finished as a ballplayer when he was 35. While Rodriguez's 4-year, $40 million deal was eminently reasonable, it still represented a gamble in that it was likely the Tigers would never be competitive enough during the life of the contract to make the addition of Rodriguez meaningful.

How many of these guys do you remember?
There's no shortage of excitement about next Sunday's Futures Game in Cincinnati. In the meantime, here's a journey back to the game in 2009. See how many of these names you're very familiar with now. This article originally ran on July 12, 2009.
Having once been involved in the selection process for the Futures Game, I can tell you first-hand that it's not a simple process. Just like the All-Star Game, there are limitations imposed to ensure that each team is represented, and the US vs. World set-up creates additional challenges certain positions. Still, when the game kicks off (ESPN2 on Sunday at 2 pm ET), there will be plenty of top prospects in action, and for so many fans, it also represents the first time to get an actual look at players you've been reading about, at times for years, so here are some things to look out for.

Two of this year's breakout arms were college teammates at UCLA. Here's what their amateur scouting report said.
It's been over four years since Gerrit Cole and Trevor Bauer pitched out of the same rotation at UCLA. During their junior season, Jason Parks wrote up this report on both of them. This piece originally ran on Mar. 14, 2011.
After catching a few tracking sessions on the back fields of Surprise, I made the trek to Los Angeles to scout UCLA's Friday and Saturday starters: Gerrit Cole and Trevor Bauer. Scouting elite talent is always fun, and despite being easier than scouting talent that elicits a wide-range of opinion, it never gets old watching professional scouts, cross-checkers, scouting directors, and writers all look giddy after witnessing something special.

The worst team in baseball used to have the best farm system in baseball. Here's how it played out.
The Brewers have the worst record in baseball and appear to be at the bitter end of their contention cycle. Eleven years ago, it started with the best farm system in baseball. This piece originally ran on Feb. 8, 2013.
In three weeks or so, Jason Parks is going to publish his organizational rankings. Rankings like these, prospect writers will remind you, are a snapshot. They capture reality at a particular moment, the publication upon which that reality immediately shifts into something slightly different or significantly different. There's no permanent truth for prospects.

The reasons not to bring in the all-time home run leader [were] little more than tissue-thin fictions.
If Barry Bonds does pursue a collusion case against MLB teams, as was reported Tuesday, he might want to include the following Joe Sheehan column in evidence. This piece originally ran on Feb. 24, 2008.
A few days ago, in a piece on the free agents still looking for homes, I mentioned Barry Bonds' name in passing. About that time, it became a story in the mainstream that Bonds is in shape and looking for work. The glee with which some members of the media pounced on this story was embarrassing, even shameful. Stories with a similar theme, that the Giants are a happier bunch with Bonds no longer in the room, also abounded.

Exploring the effects of concussions and the implications of the seven-day disabled list.
On Wednesday, after making an exceptional play on Tuesday, George Springer joined Alcides Escobar on the 7-Day concussion DL. Four years ago, Corey Dawkins and Marc Normandin wrote about the implications of the 7-Day DL. This article originally ran on April 19, 2011.
Hitting a baseball isn't the most difficult activity in sports—changing a long-standing culture is. For many years, a player was not officially diagnosed with a concussion unless there was a loss of consciousness. That started to change a few decades ago, but the physiological causes and long-term effects of concussions still were not fully understood. Thus, practices among players and non-medical personnel remained static.

Ten years before Arte Moreno's latest P.R. disaster came Arte Moreno's first P.R. disaster. Or was it?
In 2005, when Arte Moreno was still the fresh-faced owner best known for cutting beer prices, Neil deMause wrote about the clunky move to rename the team. The following ran originally on January 5, 2005.
And so it's official. To the legendarily doofy sports names of yore--the ABA's Spirits of St. Louis, the NFL's wartime Phil-Pitt Steagles--we can now add a new contender: the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Would Yordano Ventura act this way if he pitched in the NL?
As many a pundit has pointed out this week, Yordano Ventura might not have so much fightin' spirit if he pitched in the NL and knew he had to bat. But does retaliation against pitchers really exist? Two years ago we looked at that question. This piece originally ran on March 15, 2013.
An accepted piece of baseball wisdom that I understood growing up is that a pitcher is less likely to go headhunting if he has to step into the box himself. As J.C. Bradbury and Douglas J. Drinen wrote in the 2007 article "Crime and punishment in Major League Baseball: the case of the designated hitter and hit batters,"

A day off for most Buffalo schoolchildren due to Hurricane Sandy couldn't have come at a better time. With most local schools closed today (October 30), those looking for a way to fill the day found the perfect activity: indoor trick-or-treating at Galleria of Treats at the Walden Galleria.
Hurricane Sandy is expected to hit the East Coast this afternoon (October 29), bringing heaving winds and rain to Buffalo tonight. Obviously staying safe in the storm should be your first priority, but if you're a little curious to see what Sandy's doing to Western New York, we've found a way for you to do so from home.
The abundance of costumed folks at the Hyatt on Friday night (October 26) weren't celebrating Halloween -- although they would have fit right in with the rest of the holiday revelers. Rather, the disco dresses, bell bottoms and afros were all for our Retro Disco Dance Party.
Although it's hard to think about looking outside your window at today's gorgeous sunshine, we're used to bad weather around this time of year in Buffalo. The winter brings snow, ice and generally bad conditions, sometimes as early as October. We also get our fair share of wind and rain from East Coast tropical storms.
But both together? It could happen next week.
This morning on a local news show, local developer Rocco Termini announced his idea to move the Buffalo Bills to Hamilton, ON.
Townsquare Media Buffalo is looking to hire digital interns to assist with the editorial operations of the company's local websites, including the creation of local digital content.
I know, it seems crazy to say that downtown isn't that different from "the olden days" because, well, it is. For example, there are a lot fewer Model Ts and a lot more boarded-up buildings.
There's a debate raging in the Jack FM office -- maybe we're just inspired from all the recent presidential debates or something. But our debate has nothing to do with the economy, politics or binders full of women. It has to do with -- what else -- music.
Here's a comprehensive list of all 17 Ben Folds and Ben Folds Five songs that feature girls' names in their titles.
This past Saturday (September 29), more than 60,000 people -- including myself -- packed Central Park's Great Lawn for the Global Citizen Festival, a free show featuring Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Foo Fighters, The Black Keys, Band of Horses and K'Naan with the goal of raising awareness about and ending extreme poverty across the globe.

Ok over all black ops 2 is a very balanced game, and the only problems i have so far is lag comp and the bad connections, and the svu hitbox glitch which i think are getting fixed in the first black ops 2 update/patch
now to confront the little things that bug me.
1. the weapons- Now here me out here let get to mistake number 1. all the lmgs except the mk48 kill in 3-5 hits like most of the AR's, but they move slower, have more recoil, have slower reloads,ads,switch times and lower hip fire accuracy and they supposed to be balanced by having longer effective ranges? BS! treyarch you messed up with lmgs. Even with rapid fire most of the 3 hit kill up close weapons shoot faster then the mk48,, making it useless besides long range opponents so why use it? I hope they are buffed to a least 3-4, but i would prefer 3 kills flat at all ranges. second is the lower maximum damage for the SMG's why i understand why they have the lower damages treyarch couldn't give them all at least a short 3 hit kill range like the pdw and msmc already have? I means they are close range weapons? which leads to another point the S-12 and m1216 both need buffs they are shotguns they are supposed to be able to kill in one shot up close but the m1216 is useless, unless you have a total stealth class to sneak up behind enemies. Next the SMR has no reason to be used over the FAL, which shoots faster, reloads faster, has lower recoil and a bigger mag then the SMR. Then the M27 which has low smg like damage shoots slow but is balanced because of low recoil and higher mobility? ; not to me unless it has a longer effective range then other AR's.lastly, my last problem with the weapons ,each weapon in their respective classes are clones. what i mean is if you took any 2 weapons from a category and you changed 1 or 2 stats you'd have the same damn gun twice. Do the same with all guns per class and you have the same gun 9 times, while the way treyarch made the weapons improved balance it kills weapons diversity.
2.no specialist skillstreak- i know why I'm just sad to not see it return :( and i was assuming treyarch would make the support streak comeback(revised of course to not have offensive killstreaks+ i wanted the keep streak to only work if you died by/in and objective you were defending) but it didn't either.
infinity ward vs treyarch: treyarch make much less frustrating and more balance games, but diversity and the fast pace is slowed down compared to IW games
IW: makes very fast paced games and diverse weapons, is usually unbalanced game wise compared to treyarch's and gives new players a boost with death streaks. But teyrach also allows more aggressive sniping which I'm very found of as an aggressive player all around I enjoy.
I dont prefer either one each has there downsides and pluses and i enjoy each developers, to treyarch's defense they did make black ops 2 the best balanced game out of all the cods and made it fast paced(could be faster) and compared to the shooters I've played over the years its my favorite.

Gansu province 'beautifies' its roadways by walling in rural villages
Related topics
Rural poverty in China's northwest is anything but a new topic. But those who want to see it for themselves may find it increasingly hard as the government ramps up efforts to conceal it – literally.
Brick walls have been erected along the highways of Zhang county, located in Gansu province's Dingxi City, to "hide" the "ugly" living conditions of villagers inhabiting the lands, the People's Daily reported on Monday.
The walls, divided into individual sections each measuring two metres high, four metres long and encompassing 5 kilometres of road across the Zhang county badlands, began construction in October this year as a "poverty-alleviating, repair project", according to villagers interviewed.
"This is supposed to be it," said one villager surnamed Qi. If there was another poverty-alleviation project around, Qi hadn't heard of it.
"We think the main purpose of this wall is to block the view of farmers' ugly houses," he added
Another villager said: "The officials told us they would help repair some of the villagers' exterior walls but I'm sure it was just to block out the view of our pigs and chickens."
After paying a visit to the Zhang County's party headquarters, a local propaganda chief impatiently dismissed claims by a reporter that a 5-kilometre-long wall could have been built under the government's watch.
"We know of no such project," he said. "Approval of such a project did not pass through us – only the township level officials would know."
Another official interviewed at the bureau was much more candid.
"This is part of the 212 national road improvement and beautification project," he said. "The purpose is to make the road look good."

Another Waugh is making his mark.
Austin Waugh, son of Australian cricket great Steve, was on Friday selected in Australia's under-16 squad following the conclusion of the national schoolboy championships in Darwin.
Like his father a right-handed middle-order batsman and right-arm medium-pacer, Austin scored 47 runs and took seven wickets as NSW went through undefeated in winning the Australia under-15s title.
Waugh was one of six NSW players selected in the 13-strong national under-16 squad.
Also in the squad is Victorian allrounder Will Sutherland, son of Cricket Australia chief executive James.
South Australia's Bailey Capel was the tournament's leading run-scorer with 171 runs at an average of 57 and was named as one of three stand-by players.
The tournament's leading wicket-taker, West Australian Luke Cheshire – who took 17 wickets at 9.12 – missed out on selection.
The team will be coached by former Australian Test batsman and recent Queensland Bulls coach Stuart Law and will play in the national under-17s championships in October.
Australian under-16s side: Bailey Dickinson (capt – NSW), Aiden Bariol (NSW), Jason Sangha (NSW), Thomas Sowden (NSW), Austin Waugh (NSW), Joel Foster (NSW), Nathan Murphy (VIC), Will Sutherland (VIC), Zac Evans (VIC), Jarrod Freeman (TAS), Blake Edwards (QLD), Dean Elliott (QLD), Hamish McKenzie (WA).

You are a dating a girl for a little while now. You really like her. She also happens to be a "poster girl" for feminism.
Problem: You feel a little too much like "the man of the house"
She doesn't really try to control any aspect of the relationship. It's like your word is final, you always make the moves.
What do you do?
Most Helpful Girl
talk to her, maybe something is bothering her... Be calm and patient with her though, you don't wanna scare her. Maybe she just is that type of girl or she just honestly agrees with you (which isn't the case most likely though)11|00|0
If something is bothering her, why wouldn't say it?
Why would she be scared?

That kinda makes sense, but sounds in and of itself, like an oxymoron.
talk to her, she knows herself better than female strangers on the internet ;)

You are being asked to take part in this research study because you have been scheduled to have a scan of your heart. The radioactive dye used to image your heart is also taken up by many types of breast cancer. The investigators have developed a new method for detecting breast cancer, called Molecular Breast Imaging that uses this dye.
The purpose of this study is to see how well this new method works in normal subjects with no known breast cancer and to see if we can detect breast cancer at an earlier stage than mammography. As you read this form describing the study, ask any questions you have. Take your time to decide. Feel free to discuss the study with your family, friends, and healthcare provider before you decide. You may stop participating at any time during the study. You may decide not to participate. If so, none of your current benefits or normal health care will be affected in any way. When you feel comfortable that all your questions have been answered, and you wish to take part in this study, sign this form in order to begin your participation.

Coronary Artery Calcium Testing in Symptomatic Patients: An Issue of Diagnostic Efficiency

The detection and quantification of coronary artery calcification (CAC) significantly improves cardiovascular risk prediction in asymptomatic patients. Many have advocated for expanded CAC testing in symptomatic patients based on data demonstrating that the absence of quantifiable CAC in patients with possible angina makes obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) and subsequent adverse events highly unlikely. However, the widespread use of CAC testing in symptomatic patients may be limited by the high background prevalence of CAC and its low specificity for obstructive CAD, necessitating additional testing ('test layering') in a large percentage of eligible patients. Further, adequately powered prospective studies validating the comparative effectiveness of a 'CAC first' approach with regards to cost, safety, accuracy and clinical outcomes are lacking. Due to marked reductions in patient radiation exposure and higher comparative accuracy and prognostic value make coronary computed tomographic angiography the preferred CT-based test for appropriately selected symptomatic patients.

How is the winner chosen?
Most of the Fame competitions select the winner through the following process:
The first stage is where the public voting process selects the Top 30 finalists. The panel of industry judges listen to these finalists' entries, giving feedback and a score of 1-10 - based on their thoughts on the song's creativity & overall quality. From here the Top 10 artists with the highest scores will continue on, and need to upload another original track (or mix, depending). The final judging stage is a mixture of public and the industry panel; the panel listen to & rate this new upload on the same scale, at the same time public voting remains open. The final scores to decide the winners are created as such: [Average of Judges' Scores x # of Public Votes].
*Please note that while this is the majority of the competitions, not every single competition is always exactly the same - make sure to read the specific contest's T&Cs to understand the selection of the Top 3 winners.
I'm having trouble uploading my track/video for the competition.
Please drop us a line at email@example.com letting us know exactly what happened when you tried to upload it, along with sending us your Username and the track and/or video. We will look into what happened and can also then upload the track and/or video for you from the backend.

An elegant no-bake cheesecake suitable for every occasion. Decorate just as the way you want.
Top Review by loriyeargan
This is really reall good!! Made this last night, exactly as written (well, I made my own crust, couldn't find a ready made one). It is sort of like a chocolate pudding pie in texture but with the cheesecake taste. The nice thing about it was that it has a great chocolate flavor, but it's not too rich! I can see this definitely becoming a regular here! thanks

Help Coming Up With A Design For This Cake!!!!!!
Decorating By cakeflake80 Updated 31 Jan 2012 , 12:09am by cakeflake80
Hi everyone!! While I can usually come up with a pretty good design by looking around online, I am really truly stuck on this cake request! My friend wants me to make her husbands birthday cake, and the three things she wants incorporated are: he loves their Bernese Mountain dog, he's a gun collector, and he loves the American flag. There will only be about 25 of us there, so I'm limited to a two tier max....or a sheet cake type style. Do you have any ideas on how I can incorporate those three things into one cake, and have it look good at the same time? ANY help will be greatly appreciated! I am really stuck on this one!
The only thing I can think of is to have a cake with a bernese mountain dog and a man standing beside him, or kneeled on one knee holding one of his guns and an american flag "flapping" behind them.
Thanks!! The more I think about this cake, the more I don't want to do it lol.....but I kind of already agreed to it! I was considering a 3d dog laying on the flag, but I'm not sure how I could fit the gun collecting into that. Do you think that a gun laying next to the dog would just look weird?
I was thinking the same thing, a man target shooting with the dog by his side with the flag as polarcake says, but I do not think is a good idea to put the dog figure on the "flag". Just my opinion.
Good luck!!
It might look wierd to someone who doesn't love all three of those things....but it wouldn't to the husband- he would be glad to see his favorite things.
I agree it is hard to incorporate all those with a solid theme...how about doing one tier with a few guns either painted on it or laying around it, then the second tier like an american flag...then 3d dog on top - maybe out of rice krispie treats....
or a sheet cake in the shape of the flag ---then dog and guns on the board or on top?
I can't explain this one, so I'll show you...... I did this for a graduation a couple of years ago..... you can put each intrest of his on a different layer.......
Love it, love it, love it grama j - awesome idea!
Maybe not doing a literal flag. If you're doing a 2 tiered cake you could do the top tier in blue with white stars and the bottom tier with horizontal red and white stripes. put a 3-D dog on top and put fondant gun cutouts on the cake board
Thanks everyone for the great ideas....it gives me SOMETHING to go on because I literally had nothing!!

In Pattern Action Reference manual it states that "for each active token there should be one corresponding domain mask in the override instruction, and that the domain mask is the class to use to RETYPE the corresponding token. The only valid values for a domain mask are A, N, O and R.
Can someone please explain what these mean, where they are used (apart from in the override table, which I can discern in the manual), and how they are used when OVERRIDE_P action is used? The manual appears to lack any information on this: if I am wrong, please advise where in the manual this is explained.

During the preprocesor rules the incoming patterns are re-tokenized to one of the above tokens
for instance when the rule finds ^?T the outbound pattern will be AAA.

The Mass prayer for today's liturgical memorial may be found here.
Just prior to Christmas Pope Benedict XVI reflected on
Saint Francis of Assisi's gift to the Church in 1223 of the Nativity scene.
Then, as now we see Humility, Jesus, encountering the nihilism of the world, a
people who entranced with violence and anger now faced with the Prince of
Peace, the true king of the universe.
Faithful image of the Savior,
Poor and humble in Christ's way,
Let us sing of good Saint Francis,
Heartfelt homage let us pay!
Leaving home and wealth behind him,
Francis heard the Savior's call,
Serving God as poor and needy,
Trusting God to care for all.
Blind Francis, waiting to welcome Sister Death,
though he was by ecstacies and fame,
Had heart for tune. With what remained of
He led his friars in canticles. Then came
Brother Elias, scowling, to
his side,
Small-souled Elias, crying by book and candle,
This was outrageous!
Had the friars no pride?
Music at deathbeds! Ah, the shame! the scandal!
gave him sermons and advice
Instead of song; which simply proves once more
things are sure this side of paradise:
Death, taxes, and the counsel of the
Though we outwit the tithe, make death our friend,
Bores we have with us
even to the end.
(Phyllis McGinley, 1950)
Some have called Liliana Cavani's Francesco (1989; DVD 1998) a gritty alternative to Franco
Zeffirelli's Brother Sun, Sister Moon. And I agree. Zeffirelli, while a brilliant filmmaker, can ruin a
saint. And whatever may be said of Cavani's work, Francesco is neither a saccharine nor romantic portrayal of
the 13th century's radical saint, Francis of Assisi. His sincerity is strikingly beautiful. This movie is based on
Herman Hesse's book Francis of Assisi. Cavani's film won three awards and was nominated for a fourth. The
legendary actor/boxer/dog lover and practicing Catholic, Mickey Rourke, played
Saint Francis. And as a side bar, he credits his Catholic faith to saving his life.
Cavani, born in 1933 in Capri, is the director of many television and cinematic
productions. Her religious
tendencies are basically unknown to me but I did hear that she leans or leaned
toward a communist ideology. But I can't help wondering what really inspired
Cavani to direct a film on such a figure as Francis of Assisi. Certainly it
can't be the wacky-ness that often surrounds the figure of Francis!
Francesco is an interpretation of the person of the 13th century Umbrian saint, Francis of Assisi. He died in 1226 and founded what is
today called the Franciscans 800 years ago. What the Franciscans looked like in
the 13th century isn't what they are today. The movie is a series of
flashbacks with various friends telling the story of the man who led them to
Christ. Cavani brings out several central questions that all of us have to
answer viz. our Christian faith: To whom do I belong? Do I belong to these
people, or do I belong to Christ? How do I know and why?
The period in which
the real Francis lived was a chaotic time in secular as well as ecclesial
history. His world was faced with civil strife, wars, disease, extreme poverty
in many sectors, illiteracy not to mention heretical movements tearing the
fabric of faith to pieces. And, let's also not underestimate the wounds of the
Church faced as a result of heresy: lack of true community, negligence of the
human body, despair, lack of reasonable understanding of the faith and Truth
and no reasonable response to the human reality. Hence, the notion of Francis
rebuilding the Lord's Church took on significant importance for many people.
Francesco? It has little to do
with the fact that his October 4th feast day is next Sunday. But it
has everything to do with the fact that in our School of Community (Communion
& Liberation's weekly catechetic meeting) we are reading Father Giussani'
chapter on poverty in volume 2 of Is It Possible to Live This Way? There we are confronting the real, and
truly theological reality, of possessing without possession. Giussani is
raising the concern of restraining the possibility of grace in our lives but
how we live our lives. So many of us can't face life in the manner in which it
is given. We create escape mechanisms to mask the real life issues: pain, love,
sorrow, faith, hurt, joy, lack of happiness, etc. Francis gave his whole life
away to another person. He confused his parents and siblings; his friends and
civil authorities were shocked. All could not understand Francis turning on end
what was conventually known as "normal." He found something wonderful among the
poor that became a contradistinction to the bourgeois normativity of Umbrian
society. Renouncing self and possessions and following Christ crucified became
his "normal." As Saint Clare says in the movie, God spoke to him again and His
love made Francis' body identical to the Beloved's.
Cavani deals with poverty
in a gritty manner–it is terrifically human. And she never moralizes poverty or
religious conviction. Even when the pope asks Francis "and what are you
criticizing me for" and Francis says "nothing" we can't believe our ears. Two
men come back to Francis' family and friends looking to explain what they
experienced and thinking that the men would point out the ugliness of poverty
and extreme raw life of Francis, they said, "there's something beautiful
there." You then realize that
Francis isn't following "poverty"; he's following someone; he's closely
adhering to beauty. But it is not ordinary beauty–it is the beauty of believing that he promises of Christ are true.
Why Francis? Because he points to Christ. His faith,
courage and thinking he could live like Christ is what Giussani wants to
suggest is the reason for our life. Giussani asks, quid animo satis? (what can
satisfy the soul?) It has to be the Gospel at it's word or all is rubbish. Francis, by the way, is the only person the Church calls an alter
Christus among the saints.

Chinese civilisation is considered to be one of the oldest on earth, along with Indian, Egyptian and Babylonian. It is no surprise that the Chinese were leaders in innovation and technology. The history of ceramics can be dated to the Neolithic period (5000-2200 BC) and there is evidence to suggest that the Chinese were the first to invent pottery. This invention would lead on to many other significant discoveries in the developing world, and was one that would eventually lead to the creation of the antique Chinese plate.
There is a large selection of antique Chinese plates on the market. These plates are bought for many different reasons. Some people buy a Chinese plate to display in their homes and others buy antique plates as investments. Often these types of Chinese antiques can gain value over time. Some people like to buy an antique Chinese plate and hold on to it for a prolonged period of time, hoping that its value will increase.
This guide will look into the history of the Chinese plate, mention some factors to consider when purchasing an antique plate and also give a thorough outline of how to search for an antique Chinese plate on eBay.
History of Antique Chinese Plates
The creation of pottery is considered to be the first time humans used natural materials to make practical items. Chinese plates were first produced in the Neolithic age when the material that was used was mainly terracotta. This development was followed by a time when black pottery was used. There have been discoveries of black antique Chinese plates dating back to 2600 BC. Chinese plates made out of terracotta, would be placed into a kiln for the purpose of strengthening and decorating them.
During the Tang dynasty, the manufacture of porcelain first started and this improved the quality of the plates that were being produced immeasurably. Porcelain is a material that is a lot smoother than terracotta and it has a glossy and shiny finished exterior that suited the tastes of the Chinese cultures back then. This style is still appreciated today.
Porcelain, which is also a type of ceramic that is placed in a kiln, got its glossy, brilliant finish due to the fact that it has high levels of kaolinite, a smooth, grained mineral that is also used in the production of glossy paper. In the nineteenth century, in Europe, antique Chinese plates were so sought-after that the Europeans started to make imitation versions of Chinese plates. It was a testament to the quality of the Chinese production of plates and other porcelain products. The Europeans admired them so much that they spent huge amounts of time learning the techniques.
Discover Antique Chinese Plates
As with numerous inventions that ancient Chinese cultures are responsible for introducing, the invention of plates was something that would change the way that societies lived, dined and socialised for thousands of years.
Having the opportunity to own an antique Chinese plate is something that can allow the buyer to look back in time and discover how ancient cultures lived. The invention of the plate is one that cannot be understated, it is an object that is synonymous with everyday life, and as with many other early inventions, it was brought to us by the ancient Chinese. The Chinese were considered one of the first to live in a civilised society and the invention of the plate testifies to this. Porcelain plates are celebrated for their luxurious feel and uniqueness. The plates were made by a variety of different shapes and moulds meaning that each plate-maker could make his own specific indentation on his own products.
Materials Used in Antique Chinese Plates
The most popular type of antique Chinese plates is made out of porcelain. Listed below is an outline of the substances that were combined to make porcelain.
This makes up a large part of porcelain. It is mainly made of the clay, Kaolinite.
Gives porcelain its famous shiny finish.
This makes up part of Chinese porcelain and it consists of tectosilicate minerals.
Feldspar acts a flux, meaning that firing temperatures can be lowered.
Makes up part of Chinese porcelain. Common mineral in earth's core.
Quartz has chemical stability, not affected by glazing.
Factors to Consider When Buying an Antique Chinese Plate
There are many considerations that should be made by someone before they make a purchase of an antique Chinese plate.
Purpose - It is important to decide for what purpose an antique plate is being bought. Is one buying it for decoration or investment? Be aware that if the piece one is buying is chipped, cracked or damaged in any other way, its value will be considerably less than if it were in perfect condition.
Ask Questions - It is strongly advised that the buyer asks the seller as many questions as they can think of regarding the antique plate. This will mean that one will have the maximum amount of information possible and can make a better decision about whether one wants to finalise the purchase. A buyer must be sure to ask about any marks, cracks or blemishes that can be seen on the photographs provided.
History - One should have a look at the history of the seller. If a seller has got lots of good ratings and feedback attached to their name, this will usually mean that they are a very willing and helpful seller.
Research - One should get to know antique Chinese plates. It is always recommended that a buyer have good knowledge of what they are buying because this means that they will be more aware of the small intricacies of Chinese plates. It is advised that a buyer conducts research in a library, or on the Internet.
How to Care For Antique Chinese Plates
Antiques are known for being delicate and Chinese plates are no different. They should be handled with extreme care, and if they are being stored somewhere in the home, they should preferably be in a display case made of glass.
