I got a grip
Reviewed: 09 November 2013 by Holz105, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
These balls were a gift and an upgrade to my basic jiggle balls.
I love the look of the Swoon range and these had great reviews so I was really excited to try then out.
As with the rest of the Swoon range, these look great, the silicone is really soft and the white and mint design gives them a minimalistic feel which is feminine but not 'girly'.
Unlike my other jiggle balls these are very quite because of the silicone so can easily be worn out and about without having to worry about the strange rattling sound coming from my pants. The balls are relatively light yet weighty enough to feel as though they're doing something.
The downside for me is the size. Although the balls themselves are a pretty standard beginners size, the right silicone in between them makes them difficult to keep in and they seem quite long.Because of this I can't wear then out and about they just won't stay in if I'm walking around. I did wonder if it was just my muscles but I've since been sent some heavier/smaller kegal balls that I have no problem with.
Overall I really like these balls. They look and feel great and are really well made. If the string connecting the balls really was string (or thin, flexible silicone) they would be perfect.
- Pros
- No rattling sound and they look great.
- Cons
- The rigid silicone connecting the balls makes them difficult to wear.
- Bottom line
- Not for leaving the house but still worth the money.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- A 56-year-old Jewish man in New York has been arrested and charged with a series of anti-Semitic hate crimes since December, police said.
David Haddad is accused of putting swastikas last week on the doors of several residents at Penn South, a Chelsea co-op where many elderly Jews live and where Haddad lives, and making an angry phone call to a resident there, The New York Times reported.
Haddad allegedly made several phone calls and uttered anti-Semitic threats to an 80-year-old Jewish woman in Brooklyn and made a similar call to a 78-year-old Jewish woman living nearby.
Haddad, who has been charged with aggravated harassment as a hate crime, knew all the victims and at least two of them are his relatives, police said.
The New York Daily News, citing sources, said a business dispute with family members may be the motive for the crimes.
Susan Levin, who lives down the hall from Haddad at Penn South, found the words "All Jews Should Die" on her front door.
"Knowing someone put swastikas and derogatory messages on my door makes me sick," Levin told the News.
Police say they're investigating whether Haddad painted swastikas on buildings during the weekend in a Brooklyn neighborhood where he has family.

Buffer Integrity-Shade Effectiveness Project
Project Description
Timber harvest along streams commonly reduces shade and increases inputs of fine sediments to the stream. The Buffer Integrity-Shade Effectiveness Project is an attempt to better understand how reductions in shade to headwater streams affect three species of stream-breeding amphibians (giant salamanders, torrent salamanders and tailed frogs).
The Shade Study provides an opportunity to study the effect of reducing shade (increasing sunlight), which is hypothesized to increase amphibian habitat quality without increased sedimentation, a condition thought to decrease habitat quality for these stream-breeding species.
The lead partner, Longview Timberlands began the study in 2004 and is responsible for monitoring 18 streams mostly on privately owned timberland in southwestern Washington and northwestern Oregon. WDFW expanded the study to include an additional 7 streams all on WDNR lands (Fig 1).
Each study stream has a control reach (no shade reduction) located upstream from a treatment reach where shade is reduced, both 50 meters long. Streamside vegetation in the treatment reach was removed to reduce shading over the stream from its original (unharvested) levels, of roughly 85-95%, down to either 67%, 33%, or 0% shade (Fig. 2). No vegetation was removed from control reaches and these served as a check that represented background conditions.
Evaluation of how five species of stream-breeding amphibians responded to these shading treatments is was done by measuring their body condition, growth rates, and numbers both in the stream and in enclosures placed in the stream (Fig. 3). Water temperature, instream production (as algae and invertebrates), light, litterfall, and sediment input were also measured to help properly interpret amphibian responses.
Sites were monitored 2-3 years before the treatments were applied, which took place in the fall of 2007 and spring of 2008. Post-treatment monitoring took place in 2008 and 2009. Data from this study are currently being processed and analyzed in preparation for the final report.
Key Findings
Different levels of shading result in different responses that vary with the species; preliminary analyses suggest that shade reduction has a positive response, but only up to a point; the final analyses of patterns by species are pending.
Funding for the above mentioned research was provided by the Cooperative Monitoring, Evaluation, and Research (CMER) Committee.

This is almost like my version of hot cocoa! I'm a sucker for Dark Chocolate and I like mine a little less creamy so I use:
.5 cup water/.5 cup soy milk
1.5 Tbsp unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1 packet Stevia
(Sometimes I add a tsp of Pero for a more rustic flavor)
Soooo yummy!

Silicore Releases 8-Bit VHDL RISC Microprocessor Core
Post a comment
Minneapolis, Minn.--August 17, 1998--Silicore Corp. (Minneapolis) announcedthe release of its latest VHDL microprocessor core, for useon FPGA or ASIC devices. Typical applications include sensors, medicaldevices, and consumer electronics.
The core allows the user to create a complete, single-chip microcontroller on the desktop. It requiresonly 10 to 25 percent of an FPGA part (including RAM and instruction ROM), leavingroom for added peripherals. Furthermore, it can befabricated using a wide variety of package types, speeds, and temperatureranges. For high volume production, it can be moved into an ASICdevice.
The Silicore SLC1655 core includes an 8-bit RISC processor, RAM, ROM,counter/timer and power-down logic. A complete evaluation kit, using aLucent ORCA FPGA, is available. Typical operating speeds are 5-10 MIPS. Itis delivered as a VHDL soft core, and is portable across many brands ofFPGA parts such as those available from Lucent, Xilinx, and Altera.
The core is software-compatible with the PIC series of microcontrollersfrom Microchip Technology. Many third-party software tools suchas assemblers, simulators, and C compilers are available for the SilicoreSLC1655. Furthermore, the core can run at twice the speed of theMicrochip counterpart on FPGA hardware.

My first time with a Fuschia, I have several. I think they're gorgeous.
I am concerned about the largest one. I think it either needs a new/larger pot or do I trim it back?
I'd also like to propagate some - can I just trim off some pieces and put them in rooting compound and let them grow roots? Then put in soil?
I broke some pieces off accidentally when I first got the plant a few months ago and was successful in rooting them and planting in soil.. Just not sure if I can do that now without hurting the plant. I want to trim it back a bit or move to larger pot.
What should i do?
Fuschia - do I trim this?
My first time with a Fuschia, I have several. I think they're gorgeous.
I don't know the answer but that's a beauty! I have one but it only has leggy growth and 3 blooms.
Someone here will be able to help you.
Fuchsias are pretty forgiving, so if you want to prune it back. go ahead and do so. Maybe trim it back by about 1/3 then feed it. I personally wouldn't cut it back much more than that.
When I used to have numerous fuchsias in hanging pots, I only changed the soil every other year and kept them in the same containers. As long as you keep feeding them and watering them on a regular basis you can keep them in the same container.
Just make sure when you do cuttings that there's no buds or blooms on the cuttings.
The one you have more than likely has 3 or 5 plants in the pot it came in. When you buy them like that, that's usually the case. They plant several in one container and they fill out much faster that way.
Its definitely a happy plant! thanks! I take no credit really.. I just admire it. The DH waters it everyday. And it must like were we have it hanging becuase we are getting a ton of blooms. I'd hate to kill it. But I think it's getting to big for it's pot.
"Just make sure when you do cuttings that there's no buds or blooms on the cuttings."
Can I cut the pieces that have the little 'grape' on them?
Just as long as it doesn't have a blossom?
thanks for the help
What should I do with my leggy one?
The "grape" you see is the seed pod that remains after the flower falls off. Clip them off, as well. You don't want the cuttings "wasting effort" on producing the seed...you want them to develop roots.
Leave at least two sets of leaves on the cuttings...any more than that will be too much for the cutting to try and keep alive.
ONE way to get really full and lush hanging fuchsias is to keep pinching off the tips of the stem every time it develops two or three sets of leaves. They'll sprout new foliage very quickly at this time of year.Then when you get them the fullness you want, STOP pinching them and they'll bloom. AT THAT POINT IN TIME, start feeding them with a plant food with a higher middle number...like a 5-10-5 plant food. They'll send out a ton of blooms that way.
Louise: Can you post a photo of yours? It would help to see it first before giving you wrong info !
Ok, will do Mike, got a wedding to go to today but will post tomorrow.
Thanks again. (I'm really surprised my fuschia made it, it had been forgotten and neglected til dh found it and moved it to a better spot on the arbor. It's the red and purple one. My fav, along with the red and white one,)
I think (emphasis on "think") you have an upright fuchsia in a hanging pot instead of a hanging type. Yours looks like "Voodoo" (an upright ) and it will take more sun exposure than most of the others.
If that's the case, plant it either in the ground or in a bigger pot and put it where it will get a little more sun...but not all day sun where you are.
Thanks Mike, we will first try a bigger pot and moving it to where it will get more sun.
Hi weegy12, I agree with Mike. Did you do that? How is it looking now? It isn't Vooddo, but it is definately an upright. And from the photos, it looked like it also wasn't getting enough water.
where can i get one, they are beautiful, i have never seen them before.

Lawrence friend in Clegg meeting
The friend of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence, whose meetings with lawyers and police were allegedly bugged, will meet the Deputy Prime Minister on Friday to discuss the claims, his solicitors said.
Duwayne Brooks is to meet Nick Clegg at his Whitehall office after claims that the gatherings were secretly recorded.
It has been alleged that he and his lawyers were invited to meetings with police in 1999 or 2000, and that officers were given authorisation to use bugs.
He will attend the meeting with his legal team Jane Deighton and Beverley McBean.
The claims affecting Mr Brooks came after former undercover officer Peter Francis alleged that he had been told to find information to use to smear the Lawrence family.
Eighteen-year-old Stephen was waiting for a bus with Mr Brooks when he was murdered by racists in Eltham, south-east London in 1993.
Mr Francis, who worked with Scotland Yard's former Special Demonstration Squad, spoke out about tactics that he said were used by the secretive unit in the 1980s and 1990s.
In the wake of his claims, Mr and Mrs Lawrence called for a public inquiry into the allegations, which the teenager's mother said made her feel "sick to the stomach".
After a meeting with the Home Secretary last week, she said: "'We want it to be open and not behind closed doors, so that we can hear once and for all exactly what was going on after Stephen was murdered."
Theresa May, who previously said that two existing probes could examine the allegations, has said she will meet again with Mrs Lawrence to discuss what should happen.
She initially suggested that an inquiry led by barrister Mark Ellison QC into alleged corruption in the original Lawrence murder investigation could be extended, as well as a police-led probe into the activities of undercover officers.

best time to cruise Mediterranean

We've done two Med cruises in October, and we thought that was a good time--not too crowded, not too hot.
Report Abuse
Has anyone done this type of cruise in the winter ie, Jan, Feb?
Report Abuse
October is great. Seriously doubt if the cruise is available in Jan, Feb. Generally most of those ships shift to Central and South America.
Report Abuse
Actually there are a few out of Rome or Barcelona in winter. Mostly MSC and Costa, but a few are Royal Caribbean and NCL. One RC leaves from Southampton UK roundtrip thru the Med and back. I wondered if the North Atlantic water would be too rough on that one coming in and out of the UK. Others remain in the Med but I wondered about the water (?rough) and weather (probably not super warm, but maybe in the 60s? until you get to places like Italy, Greece.

Another one for October !!

October is best time. Not too hot, not too cold. Just right.
Kids are in school, not too crowded.

Percy, You caught me! I guess you are more well read than most. LOL!
We are leaving for East Med / Holyland in 5 weeks. Any last minute tips or suggestions?
Here is the plan so far, and is subject to changes:
Athens - full day at Delphi, 1/2 day at Acropolis, embark
Santorini - winery, Panagia Episkopi Church, Kamari, Fira
Patmos - Grotto of Revelation, Monastery of St. John, Simandris House, Nunnery of Zoodohou Pigi, Chora
Ephrsus - St John's Basilica & Virgin Mary Shrine
Israel (2 days) - Galilee, River Jordan, Mt. Beatitudes, Tabgha, Capermaum, Nazareth, Ashdod - Old Jerusalem, Garden of Gethsemane, Church of All Nations, Western Wall, Via Dolorosa, Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Bethehem. (I wanted to go to Dead Sea and Massada but just don't have enough time)
Egypt (2 days) Pyramids of Giza, Sphinx, Cairo Museum, Alexandria National Museum, Catacombs of Kom El Shugafa (Can I see the light house from the ship at Alexandria?)
Sorrento - Pompeii, Capri/La Piazatta/Gardens of Augusto
Rome - have 3 days after disembark, staying at the Quirinale Hotel, probably just walk around and take the metro everywhere. Hotel is by train station, walking distance to a lot of local attractions (churches, fountains etc). I've not been there for years and this is DW first trip to Rome.
If you think there is anything that we shouldn't miss, please let us know. All suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

I was on NCL Med cruise last November - I loved it - weather was cool and comfortable, very little crowds. I'm going to add the post from my trip report as pertains to Ephesus.
We had arranged a private tour. When we started out I told the guide I was NOT interested in a tour of the carpet factory - and did not want lunch (we brought snacks and water with us) and we wanted to see all the sights listed in my trip report - then I told him my tip would reflect how much of what I wanted did we get to do. We got it all in and tipped 40% (driver and guide were both with us all day)and still this was cheaper than the ship's excursion.

Port of Call – Izmir, Turkey
We had arranged a private tour for Ephesus in Turkey in order to customize the tour to see the sights. This turned out to be a terrific choice. Our guide, Ali, listened to what we wanted to see and do, and spent the day seeing that we got to enjoy his country.
We left the ship early, before the dancers on the pier started performing. Our guide awaited us with a sign to identify him from all the others waiting.With our driver and BMW ready, we began our tour.
Our primary destination was the archeological site of Ephesus, an ancient Greek city on the west coast of Anatolia, near present-day Selçuk, Izmir Province, Turkey. Ephesus had a population of more than 250,000 in the 1st century BC, which also made it the second largest city in the world.
An optional addition to the basic tour is Ephesus terrace houses, located on the hill, opposite the Hadrian Temple. DON't miss it!!
Also called "the houses of rich", they give us information about life during the Roman period. From hot and cold water and indoor plumbing to beautiful frescos this is an unforgetable part of the tour. There are six residential units on three terraces at the lower end of the slope of the Bulbul Mountain. The oldest building dates back into the 1C BC and continued in use as residence until the 7th Century AD.
Next on our tour was the Library of Celsus, one of the most beautiful structures in Ephesus, built in 117 A.D. The scrolls of the manuscripts were kept in cupboards in niches on the walls. The capacity of the library was more than 12,000 scrolls.
Symbols obvious today were new and secret- such as signs of the new and forbidden religion of the first century, the fish and cross of Christianity. A common game in the first centuries was played on a pie-shaped surface. Some have lines and codes like the fish, to let others know how to find others of like mind.
Leaving Ephesus archeological site, we went up Bulbul Mountain to see the House of the Virgin Mary. At the time we went there were no lines or buses. Ali knows the schedules for the large tour buses and planned our day to minimize crowds.
Mary was entrusted to John by Jesus, and may have come in the area when he spent several years in the area to spread Christianity. While I anticipated that this would be a destination for Catholics, I was surprised to see Muslims there. Ali explained that the Mother of the Prophet Jesus was also revered by Moslims. Paul VI was the first pope to visit this place in the 1960's. Later, in the 1980's, during his visit, Pope John-Paul II declared the Shrine of Virgin Mary has a pilgrimage place for Christians.
Our final destination was The Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. Not much remains today , but from the site you can also see the Basilica of St John. Three hundred years after the death of St. John, a small chapel was constructed over the grave. The church of St John was changed into a marvelous basilica during the region of Emperor Justinian (527 -565 AD).We could have continued on to see the Basilica, but were getting tired.
By the way, we had brought packaged snacks and water with us and avoided the usual stops for a meal and for a carpet factory - usually part of these tours. By arranging the deviation from routine in advance we had time to see all the sites on our list. A benefit of the private tour!

I too am headed to Greece (Athens, Santorini) in October. When you say "not too hot, not too cold" we are still hoping to swim at the beach and pool. Will it be in the 70s or possibly 80 degrees F?
Report Abuse
Being as unpredictable as the weather, not too hot not too cold refers to not sorching hot (can be up to 100 in July August) and not too cold (50 or below in December January)
With that said, if it doesn't rain, you can expect low to mid 70s. Just remember, it is the weather and there is no guarantee!

In dealing with problems of human relations, medieval thinkers came fairly close to modern democratic thinking. Except for extreme realism, medieval political thought was emphatically not autocratic. To the medieval thinker the perfection of the kingdom of heaven could not possibly exist on earth, where compromise and imperfection were inescapable.
Nor could full equality exist on earth. Medieval political thought accepted as its starting point an order of rank in human society. The twelfth-century Policraticus (Statesman's Book) of the English Scholastic philosopher John of Salisbury (c. 1115-1180) provided a complete statement of this social theory.
The prince (or king) is the head of the body of the commonwealth; the senate (legislature) is the heart; the judges and governors of provinces are the eyes, ears, and tongue; the officials and soldiers are the hands; the financial officers are the stomach and intestines; and the peasants "correspond to the feet, which always cleave to the soil." The peasant, the blacksmith, the merchant, the lawyer, the wife, the priest, and the king had all been assigned a part of God's work on earth. This "organic" theory of society was a great favorite with those who opposed change.
While medieval thought thus distinguished among vocations, it also insisted on the dignity and worth of all vocations. It accepted the Christian doctrine of the equality of all souls before God. Even the humblest person on this earth could hope to enjoy bliss as full and eternal as any king's in the next world. Furthermore, medieval political theory by no means opposed all change on earth.
Medieval thinkers were certainly not democratic in the sense of believing that the people had a right to, or could, "make" their own institutions. But they did not hold that, since God had arranged authority as it was in this world, humanity should preserve existing conditions, come what may.
Later Marsiglio of Padua (c. 1290-1343), the author of Defensor Pacis (Defender of the Peace), found the only true source of authority in a commonwealth to be the universitas civium, the whole body of the citizens. Marsiglio probably did not mean to be as modern as this may seem. But like many other medieval thinkers, Marsiglio believed that no one's place in the order of rank is such that those of lower rank must always and unquestioningly accept what is commanded of them.
If worse came to worst, medieval political thinkers were willing to approve tyrannicide. To the medieval mind, law for common everyday purposes was custom. But beyond custom lay the law of nature, or natural law—something like God's word translated into terms that made it usable by ordinary persons on earth.
The medieval thinker, if puzzled, tended to resolve problems by an appeal to authority—the best or the natural authority people had been trained to believe in. And medieval thinkers usually believed that no perfectly satisfactory solution to their problems would be available until they went to heaven. The modern thinker, if puzzled, tends at least to consult several different authorities and to compare them before deciding. Modern thinkers may also try to experiment. The right way for the medieval person already existed and had, at most, to be found; the right way for the modern person may have to be invented, created.

Under the guise of his smoothie alter-ego, Nathaniel Merriweather, the mixmaster and producer has combined skillful composition with hip-hop hijinx on his Handsome Boy Modelling School and Lovage albums.
He's earned major respect from the stars, whether through invites to DJ on Radiohead's tour or, more recently, a production job on ex-Rage Against The Machine frontman Zack De La Rocha's upcoming album and remix work for Nelly Furtado.
So it's strangely fitting that Nakamura has reached his biggest commercial audience as one of the driving forces behind hit cartoon act Gorillaz, who make their North American concert debut at the Docks tonight.
Working behind the scenes -- or, in the case of tonight's show, behind a screen -- Nakamura and partner Damon Albarn breathe musical life into animator/Tank Girl creator Jamie Hewlett's arresting visuals.
"You can't determine in advance how well a thing like this is going to do," Nakamura said of Gorillaz's hit self-titled 2001 album in an interview yesterday. "It was done for fun, so it's always a surprise when it takes on a life of its own."
Of course, there is the criticism that Gorillaz is an exercise in style over substance.
"I'd put Gorillaz up against any record," he said. "Seriously, I'm not saying that to be a self-promoter. I'm fully comfortable letting this record stand up on its own without a visual -- I'll stand by the quality."
Gorillaz -- the drawings and their real-life masters -- are up for a best group rap performance trophy at this Wednesday's Grammy Awards for their song Clint Eastwood.
They came away empty handed from this past week's Brit Awards, where they were up six trophies. "It's better to win them than not win them, but I feel that all this stuff is relative," said Nakamura. "We went to the MTV awards last year and lost to Mudvayne. I wouldn't trade places with Mudvayne! It isn't really all that relevant."
The cartoon crew release a new b-side and remix collection, G-Sides, this Tuesday. The same day, Nakamura launches his own DJ mix CD Wanna Buy A Monkey, an excellent collection that fits tracks from artists as eclectic as Tortoise, RZA, De La Soul, Doves, Air, Deltron 3030, and yes, Gorillaz, into a logical and cohesive set.
As for upcoming work, Nakamura has been name-checked for possible work with Beck ("We've had a few good meals together. I assume at some point some good stuff will come out of it"), is working on his own disc for release at the end of 2002, and is plotting another Handsome Boy Modelling School venture with collaborator Prince Paul.
He admitted that staging the Gorillaz shows has been a technical feat. In light of Lovage's highly entertaining performance at the Phoenix last month -- "Merriweather" presided over the gig wearing a silk robe and swilling brandy -- he must be getting the hang of role-playing.
"I think Gorillaz takes more performance aspects to cut through the screen in a way. But," he added, "we're just helping the Gorillaz. They do their thing and we help."

Winter's late start may benefit Minn. pheasants
WORTHINGTON, Minn. -- Ask any hunter who walked the grassed waterways and shelterbelts about how successful they were in flushing pheasants last fall and it won't take long to realize it was less than a stellar season.
With back-to-back rough winters in 2010 and 2011, followed by a cold and wet spring in 2011, pheasant counts were down considerably -- more than 80 percent, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Area Wildlife Supervisor Wendy Krueger.
As part of the DNR's measurement of habitat populations, Krueger said the agency takes a roadside pheasant count each year in August, traveling a 25-mile route of back roads in each of the four counties she supervises.
When they took the counts in southwest Minnesota last August, bird numbers were down 82 percent from the bird count made in August 2010. And the 2010 count was down 10 percent from 2009. Statewide, pheasant populations were also rather dismal, with a 64 percent decline of birds leading into the fall 2011 hunt.
While hunters may have had to spend all day in the field, walking not just one, but a handful of habitat parcels to spook up a bird, Krueger said the pheasant population has a good chance of rebounding quickly.
A lengthy delay in measurable snowfall this winter has certainly been advantageous for pheasants, and the hope is the spring season will be better for them as well.
"This winter is a good start -- it's mild," said Krueger. "(The birds) haven't been stressed out at all."
The key now is for the birds to have a good nesting season, without the cooler temperatures and heavy rains southwest Minnesota experienced last spring.
"Pheasant reproduction is truly one of the greatest miracles of nature," said local pheasant hunter and outdoors enthusiast Scott Rall. "If we can get good nesting, we can make a very dramatic recovery of pheasant populations in one year and possibly a complete recovery in two years."
Rall said it wasn't necessarily the large amounts of snow that devastated the region's pheasant population, it was predators. The winters of 2010 and 2011 forced the birds out into the open to forage, making them an easy target for fox and coyotes.
Those that did survive went on to build nests, only to have the rains come during the hatch period.
"The nesting season (last year) was terrible -- it was wet and cold, exactly what you don't want," said Krueger.
"They get rained on and they can't dry off," Rall added. "They die of exposure."
While traveling the gravel roads of Nobles, Rock, Pipestone and Murray counties last August, Krueger said she saw a lot of lone roosters -- a bad sign that the bird population had taken a significant hit by Mother Nature.
She knew then that it was going to be a dismal season for pheasant hunters. Although harvest data from the season, which ended Jan. 1, isn't yet available, the DNR estimated 250,000 roosters would be taken statewide during the 2 ½-month season.
That compares with harvests that have exceeded 500,000 roosters in five of the last eight years. The 2010 harvest was nearly 400,000 birds, Krueger said.
Minnesota wasn't the only state to see a significant drop in the pheasant population prior to the 2011 hunt. South Dakota, North Dakota and Iowa all marked a decline in the number of birds seen in their roadside counts.
Rall said it was rather telling how bad the prospects were when, on the second Saturday of the hunting season, some of the prime public hunting areas near Worthington were absent of hunters at 9 a.m.
"People came down and hunted the first weekend and did very poorly and couldn't justify the lodging expense to come down and hunt again," said Rall.
While he harvested about as many birds this last season as he typically does, Rall said he had to put a lot more effort into it -- walking more ground and spending all day to get his two-bird limit instead of just a couple of hours.
"I had probably 12 or 13 times where I went out and didn't even raise a pheasant," he said. "I probably only had two or three of those (in 2010)."
Rall was quick to point out that because of the milder weather, he also had about 40 more days to hunt during the 2011 season than he did in 2010.
"Pheasant hunting was virtually over with by December 3rd or 4th in 2010 -- the snow made it impossible and covered so much that you couldn't get close (to the birds)," Rall said. "The season in 2011 closed January 1st and the conditions allowed pheasant hunters to hunt the entire season."
While the milder winter has left both Krueger and Rall hopeful of a rebounding pheasant population this spring, they remain somewhat cautious about suggesting a better season for pheasant hunters this fall. The problem, they say, is that pheasant habitat is being lost in southwest Minnesota as farmers let their Conservation Reserve Program contracts expire and place marginal cropland back into production. High grain prices make it difficult for conservation payments to be competitive.
Kruger said roughly 550,000 acres in CRP contracts are set to expire within the next three years. With the federal Farm Bill still in limbo, there's no guarantee a general CRP sign-up will be conducted this year. Just since 2007, Krueger said 120,000 acres of grassland -- prime pheasant habitat -- have been lost in the state.
"One thing the DNR tries to do in their acquisitions is try to keep habitat on the ground," she said. "We're such a small landowner in Nobles County that it's really the private lands that make up a lot of the habitat."
The fear is those private landowners will plow up the grassland in favor of row crop production.
"The loss of current CRP acres will most likely result in pheasant numbers never reaching the peaks that we've had in the last five years," said Rall. He expects the same to occur in other states.
"South Dakota is probably never going to see the quality of pheasant hunting they had three years ago, for the foreseeable 30 years," he said. "They lost 700,000 to 1 million acres of grassland that were converted to crops last year.
"If you start taking out a million acres of undisturbed grasslands -- even in South Dakota -- the land of the ringneck pheasant is not going to have the number of pheasants."

Chinese at restaurant. Wed, May 2, 2007.
05/02/2007. 818. Last night, the sister missionaries in my old ward on the other side of town called and asked for an Amharic Book of Mormon. They were going to have a missionary discussion today with an Amharic-speaking family, so they wanted me to drop it off at the ward building downtown. That ward building is only about 20 to 25 minutes away, so I dropped it off at the arranged spot.
While on my way home, I was thinking about where to have lunch, and I had the idea to check out one convenience store for a possible book placement. It was one of those feelings that could have just been my own idea, or it could have been inspiration. I couldn't tell, but I've learned to act on those ideas anyway.
I had shopped there before, and did not offer anything to the Indian couple who ran it. I stopped there and didn't see them.
Once back in the car, I had the idea to drive a certain direction. This time, the impressions were a bit stronger. Though still not reaching the "obvious" level, the feelings or impressions about where to drive were kicked up a notch. It was not out of my way, but just another way to get home.
I went past a drug store for which I had a coupon, so I stopped by to use it and buy something I needed. I got another coupon printed for me at the cash register so I went back in to use it. If I don't use those coupons quickly, I forget about them and they expire.
Back in the car again, the feeling about where to drive was increased yet again. It's hard to draw a line between "faith" and "obvious", but I've learned that we should act on faith (although I still often chicken-out or ignore those feelings), and not wait until impressions or whisperings from the Holy Ghost reach the "obvious" level. There are blessings when you act on faith. Cool things happen when you act on faith. It pleases Heavenly Father, and we grow from it. Acting at the "faith" level (not waiting until we "know" or the impressions become "obvious") also makes us grow spiritually so that we improve out ability to act on those impressions in the future.
That part of town is not new to me, but it's been a long time since I drove along that particular part of that street. I knew there was a little shopping center off to the side, I've been there years before, and felt like that was where I was supposed to go. It's the kind of shopping center that usually has a restaurant or two, but I didn't remember if it had any.
I drove once around the shopping center, and found a Chinese restaurant that I haven't been to before. That's no big deal since most strip malls or shopping centers have a restaurant, and many of them are Chinese. But it's nice that it matched up with the impressions I was having.
I had the buffet lunch, and set out some books and a DVD on my table. They seemed busy in the kitchen, and didn't come by to take my used plates. I read my newspaper a little after I finished eating, waiting for an opportunity to speak, but no one came by.
One of the workers, who was probably the co-owner with her husband, was at the counter, so I picked up my stuff and decided to make a presentation on my way out.
I asked her if she liked to read Chinese and she said yes. I asked if she was from Taiwan or Mainland China, and she said Mainland China. I showed her a bilingual Simplified Chinese/English New Testament, and a Simplified Chinese Book of Mormon. She was definitely interested.
She spoke English well, but said she didn't read English. However, when I opened both copies of the Book of Mormon to 1 Nephi 1:1 and read part of it, she quickly captured the idea of reading them in parallel to help learn English, so she also accepted the English copy.
I also offer the Together Forever DVD and a Finding Happiness DVD. The Together Forever DVD has a Cantonese audio track, but not a Mandarin audio track, but it does have Chinese subtitles that a Mandarin-speaking person can read. She said her husband is from Hong Kong and speaks Cantonese, so that makes it cool, and she accepted both DVDs.
The Together Forever DVD is a great couples video.

Treatment for Marijuana Use and Schizophrenia Docket # H- 00001171
People who have schizophrenia often abuse marijuana. We are studying whether FDA approved medication Clozapine can reduce marijuana use. The study lasts about 14 weeks and involves weekly meetings with the research staff, answering questions about substance use and current symptoms. Half the people in the study will get a medicine called "clozapine" and the other half will get a medicine called "risperidone". People in the study will not know which type of pill they are getting.
We are looking for people who have been told they have schizophrenia, are willing to take medicine for schizophrenia, use marijuana regularly and are ages 18-55.
People in the study will be paid at each meeting for their time. For more information about the study, please call us at 508-856-MIND(6463) or email email@example.com.

Found in the scenic coastal town of Beaumaris is the Bishopsgate House Hotel, an establishment not only worthy of a AA Silver Hotel award, but an AA Rosette for its restaurant as well.
Also awarded the Best Hotel and Best Restaurant Anglesey Tourism Awards in 2012, the quality of the culinary delights at the Bishopsgate House Hotel speaks for itself. This recognition is well founded, given that the chefs believe that each and every meal should be made using only the freshest in locally sourced ingredients.
Proud members of Gorou Mon, also known as The Best of Anglesey, the chefs at the Bishopsgate House Hotel support a myriad of local suppliers, such as the Caernarfon based OGO Butchers, the Gaerwyn based Total Produce and the Llandudno based Mermaid Seafood. The high quality of each ingredient can be tasted in each exquisite dish, which display the best of Modern English and Welsh cuisine.
Served in the informal bar and lounge area of the hotel is an exemplary A la Carte menu, which features a plethora of delectable dishes across all three courses. Examples of some sublime starters include the rich smoked salmon and white crab meat parcel, complete with a dill and lemon mayonnaise, the tantalising grilled flat mushroom, covered with Guinness and stilton, and the delicious wild boar and rum pate, paired with a rhubarb and ginger chutney.
Perhaps more enticing are the main courses, which feature irresistible choices like the delightful grilled salmon teriyaki, served with pak choi and pickled ginger, the sumptuous lamb rump, accompanied by fondant potatoes and a Welsh mead, and the herbivorous haven that is the handmade spinach and ricotta tortelloni, smeared in basil pesto and adorned with toasted pine nuts and parmesan shavings.
With many heavenly desserts and savoury Welsh cheese available to round off the meal there's something suitable for all tastes, ensuring a thoroughly satisfying experience for all walks of life at the bar and lounge at the Bishopsgate House Hotel.
Please Note: The tastecard discount is not available on Celebration Days including, but not limited to, Valentine's Day, Father's Day, Mothering Sunday, etc.

Interesting article concerning Hines Nurseries at Grower Talks Magazine. Titled "The Rebirth of Hines" the article talks to Steve Thigpen, CEO of Hines Nurseries (then Hines Horticulture), and his long-time Hines colleague and friend Joe Gray. Ten years ago Grower Talks Magazine interviewed Steve about the direction of the business which at the time was rapidly growing and the first publicly traded nursery company. Over the last 10 years the companies sales have fallen, from $423 million to $130 million. In between a bankruptcy, a change in management, and now it's no longer publicly traded. As it tries to rebuild it's business one thing is clear, the nursery business is splitting into two different factions. One side dominated by box stores and their suppliers, and the rest of us and our suppliers. As Joe Gray say's, "The more data we get, the more information, the more planning we can receive, it helps us in our production and in servicing them (box stores). Personally, I think we're getting closer, we have a better working relationship, we understand each other's needs a lot better. I think it's good. I think a good, healthy relationship helps us plan out our production and our business and partner better.â€
The box stores and their suppliers must work more closely together. With the relationship becoming tighter it only seems logical that the independent garden center will have to search out alternative suppliers for it's needs. The days of independents and box stores using the same vendors seems antiquated. How can the independent distinguish itself from the box stores if it is selling the same plants as the box stores?
There will always be people who favor the box stores over independents. There are also people who want to support smaller locally owned businesses and make a point of not shopping at boxes. Then there is a whole group of people who shop at both. The best bet for the smaller independent is to service the second group. I have seen an increase in the number of people who want to shop with us not just because we have what they want, but also to support the local business. I think we are entering an era where many people are becoming more conscious of the ultimate cost of loosing locally owned business. If you don't shop there, one day they will be gone.

Hello everyone. I made this cake for our lab manager for her retirement party ( It was actually a forced early retirement because of cutbacks )
It is the downey yellow butter cake, but I used vanilla bean paste instead of vanilla extract.
The filling is cocoa whipped cream mixed with chocolate shavings and the icing is the white chocolate mousseline tinted pale yellow.
I also discovered a great way to get a really smooth finish on the mousseline. I put a very thick coating of icing all over the cake and put it in the fridge to harden really well. Then with my turntable and bench scraper, I just slowly started to scrap away the extra icing until it was smooth. I was super happy with the results. But I think that it will only work with icing that gets rock hard in the fridge, ie- lots of butter in it.
The magnolias and leaves are made out of gumpaste. I wanted to put ribbon around the bottom of the cake, but ran out of time to go out and get some.

Parabolic flights
Parabolic flight campaigns consist in a series of 3 individual flights with around 30 parabolas flown during each flight. Near the top of the parabolic manoeuvres periods of up to 20 sec of weightlessness are experienced inside the airplane. Thus parabolic flight allows conducting experiments in weightlessness in a more cost efficient way than in actual spaceflight but with the limitation that a max of 20 sec of continuous weightlessness are generated at each time. This nevertheless allows performing investigations in the human physiology area and/or testing space-flight equipment designed for such experiments to be performed in the ISS. In addition parabolic flight experiments are more flexible, the lead-time is reduced and there is a continuously open Research Announcement.

2000 Lexus RX 300 SUV - Consumer Review

My RX 300 Rocks!
By RX350 Rocks on
Vehicle2000 Lexus RX 300 4dr SUV AWD
ReviewWe bought this used in California on vacation and shipped it to Indiana. Very fun to drive. And we can't believe it's almost 8 years old. Just got timing belt, water pump and serpentine belt changed at 97,000 miles. It drives like a new car and is good for another 100k! We plan on driving this for a very long time. We've been through two snowy winters and it drives great. Its styling still looks pretty modern and I like it a lot better than the 330. It's got no blind spots. One thing to note, check Toyota dealerships for major maintenance work...found to be a lot cheaper than Lexus dealers!
Best FeaturesLove the key remote feature where all the windows and sunroof can be opened remotely. Comes in handy on hot days when I'm walking to the car! Interior is flawless. Exterior is the same. Styling is very classy and perfect.
Worst FeaturesBigger gas tank. Mileage is okay for AWD (@ 20mpg overall). But gas tank is too small and feels like we don't get great mileage since we fill up often. They made the tanks bigger after the 2001 model year.

I made my niece a turquiose and blue yellow brick road quilt, for her new big girl room. Well the color is bright purple not turquise like i thought they were painting it..good thing is her parents room is the turquiose that matches the quilt..so guess who has the oversized lap quilt now(roughly 50/60 now that cut down).Yep my db and sil..well i need to make it about twice the size because sil want's to put in on her bed as a the main piece in their room- and it's a king bed. (honored but aphrenseive)
Can I just add several layers of boarders to the yellow brick road part that is already made? would it look tacky?
I tried to find more of the fabric but without having the actual names of the fabric's I can't seem to find any more fat quarter bundles that are the same ( purchased year ago at Joann's clearance section), if so I'd just make more "squares" to add to it until large enough.
So any suggestions would be appreciated. Would it help if I added pictures? already took the piece apart-thankfully I only tied it cause it was for a kid- but will now have it quilted once finished for their bed. Thinking I will need to add at the least 2 feet all around..thinking a small solid boarder first then maybe a medium print boarder than a larger plain boarder...HELP
