My Halo pre-amp lacks a sub-woofer out. Is there any method of connecting a sub-woofer that lacks the speaker binding posts to my amp or pre-amp. There is a M&K subwoofer being auctioned on e-bay that caught my attention. However, the ad clearly stated that only RCA type connectors were supported by the subwoofer.
Is it possible to use the amp outs on the pre-amp to connect to the subwoofer and then connect the subwoofer to the amp via the pre-amp in. Do subwoofers have a hi-pass filter that would catch the low signals and pass the midrange/twweter signals to the amp? After you get off the floor from laughing at my question perhaps someone would set me straight.

Fried chicken and waffles is one of those dishes that just screams Southern comfort. Whoever invented fried chicken and waffles was equal parts culinary genius and madman, but that creation is a magnificent blend of sweet, heat, salt, and crispiness.
At its most basic, fried chicken and waffles starts with a waffle that's topped with one or more pieces of fried chicken. This seems like a great use for boneless skinless breasts, but all pieces of bone-in chicken seem to be traditional. If that weren't enough, the chicken and waffles are then covered in maple syrup and hot pepper sauce, which combine to make a dish that gets high marks both for taste and creativity.
Really, fried chicken and waffles are a great thing, but even the greatest dishes can be tweaked here and there. For instance, to make the dish more fork-friendly, the fried chicken can be replaced with chicken fingers that have been specially seasoned to work with the maple syrup. Also, what dish can't be improved with a little butter? We'll swap out the maple syrup with the best maple butter you'll ever have.
Fried Chicken and Waffles with Killer Maple Butter Recipe
The following recipe is the made-from-scratch version where you make everything in the dish (except the hot sauce) yourself. That can be a lot of work, though, so feel free to swap out the waffles in this recipe for store bought waffles. Also, you can buy premade chicken fingers instead of following the recipe below. Still, whatever you do, make the maple butter. It's totally worth it.
Maple butter:
- 2 sticks butter, cut into 1 ounce pieces
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1-1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 3 cups flour (divided)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 4 chickens, cut into strips
- Oil for frying
- Hot sauce
Maple butter:
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and let it cook for about 30 seconds so that some of the water evaporates, but not so that it begins to burn.
- Pour in the maple syrup and stir to incorporate. When the maple syrup is hot, add the brown sugar and cinnamon and stir.
- Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl very well with as few lumps as possible. Spray your waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray and make the waffles according to your waffle iron's instructions.
- Keep them warm in a 250 degree F oven.
- Put one cup of flour in a plastic bag with the salt, pepper, and sugar. Next, mix the remaining two cups of flour with the eggs and milk in a bowl. Stir until you have a smooth batter that should resemble the waffle batter you just made.
- Put the chicken in the plastic bag, 6-8 strips at a time. Shake well and remove from the bag. Repeat until all of the chicken is coated.
- Once all of the chicken is coated in seasoning, dip it in the batter you made and let it get fully submerged. Remove from the batter and let it rest so that the coating can set.
- Heat the vegetable oil to 375 degrees F (or let it get hot over medium-high heat.) You can test your oil's temperature by putting a small ball of batter into the oil. It should immediately bubble forcefully. If the bubbles are small and not very vigorous, let the oil continue to heat.
- Fry the chicken in small batches for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown on the outside and cooked all the way through. Put on a cooling rack to drain, then keep it warm in a 250 degrees F oven.
To make the full dish:
- Assemble your masterpiece by taking a waffle, topping it with 3-4 strips of chicken, adding a second waffle and topping that with hot sauce and maple butter.

Does anybody know where these commands are documented?
QuoteDoes anybody know where these commands are documented?Your Ebay link includes a link to some example Arduino code. The commands are used (but not really documented) within that code.Don
I assume your display has an additional controller which accepts high level commands for drawing text (note: the SSD1306 has I2C ID 0x3c or 0x3d, while the example code uses 0x51)
Indeed there seems to be no information on the high level protocol of the additional controller.
Adafruit code will not work, because adafruit just sells and supports the plain OLED with the SSD1306 controller. Also u8glib only supports OLEDs with plain SSD1306 (but u8glib will probably work on a ATTINY84/85).

Those are just a dozen of pro boxing's so-called "sanctioning bodies."
In the end, it comes down to WTHC: who the hell cares?
For the record, Tye (Big Sky) Fields knocked out Nicolai Firtha in the sixth round to win the Native American Boxing Council (NABC) heavyweight title Saturday night at the River Cree Resort and Casino.
It wasn't a WBC (World Boxing Council) or NABF (North American Boxing Federation) crown -- despite the fact the two fighters, the referee and a couple of ringside officials had WBC logos sewn to their duds.
It seems sportswriters aren't the only ones who are alphabetically challenged by this stuff.
In an e-mail to Sun Media yesterday, North American Boxing Federation president Joe Dwyer pleaded: "Please note that Tye Fields is the current NABC (Native American Boxing Council) champion, NOT the NABF (North American Boxing Council)."
Apparently Mr. Dwyer is as confused as we are about whether he represents a council or a federation. Sounds like something Star Fleet Command (SFC) might need to mediate.
No matter.
What counts most is that Fields, who went into Saturday's fight ranked in the top 25 in North America and the top 40 in the world, has added another impressive knockout to his record of 42-2 (38 KOs) and taken another step towards realizing his dream of a shot at one of the "big four" (WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF) world championships.
As dominant as Fields was in his first fight in 12 months, he acquitted himself equally well in his role as promoter.
From the first week he arrived from Las Vegas four months ago, the personable six-foot-eight, 265-pounder brought a refreshing new approach to selling boxing in Edmonton, at the same time building a template the competition would be wise to follow.
"I didn't know Edmonton and Edmonton didn't know me, so I wanted to introduce myself by making our first Big Sky Promotions show a good one," Fields said at the post-fight soiree.
"I'm happy and grateful that the work paid off with such a great crowd and a great night of boxing.
"I've learned a lot about promoting over the past couple of months and we'll be looking to be even bigger and better for our next show in the fall."
The legwork that Fields put into making the card a success was nothing short of phenomenal.
After daily workouts with trainer Ken Lakusta at Legends Training Centre, Fields tirelessly canvassed every corner of the city, dropping off more than 1,500 flyers and posters.
He met with business owners, visited the troops at Edmonton Garrison, chatted up students and seniors.
By putting a face to the name, Fields put some hustle behind the muscle.
It paid off, big time.
"When I think of how many times I bent down getting in and out of the car, it was like doing a few thousand sit-ups or squat thrusts," he joked.
"That was almost tougher than running up and down Champion's Hill.
"Getting out and meeting the public was a lot of fun ... but tiring, too. Without the support of my wife and the people at River Cree, I couldn't have pulled it off.
"What's most satisfying is that strangers have been coming up to shake my hand and say how much they enjoyed the show. That means a lot."
Cooney strikes a chord
Former world No. 1 heavyweight contender Gentleman Gerry Cooney more than lived up to his nickname as the special guest at Saturday's card.
After being mobbed by fans at Friday's weigh-in, the 52-year-old Cooney joked that he might need to bring a bodyguard to the fight. Between signing hundreds of autographs and posing for countless photos, he climbed into the ring before the main event to tell the sold-out crowd that he'd heard enough Newfie jokes to last a lifetime. "My dad was born in St. John's, so I know what all that humour is about," he quipped ... Well-deserved kudos go to the River Cree Combative Sports Commission and front men Al MacKechnie (chairman) and Dale Kliparchuk (ring general). From the weigh-in to the rules meeting to the ringside facilities for media, everything ran like clockwork. Even when a turnbuckle on the brand new ring busted just minutes before the opening bout, it was quickly and efficiently repaired ... Toronto-born 2009 Playboy calendar cover model Anissa Holmes served as the round-card girl for the main event. "It was totally awesome ... I love the intensity of boxing," she said.

"There are official background checks, and then there are teenagers with Google."
Tyler Deaton, whose wife was slain in KC area, suspended from Texas teaching job
[S]tudents at Lancaster High School near Dallas Googled the new, young pre-calculus teacher and found news stories from Kansas City with allegations that [Tyler] Deaton's wife, Bethany, 27, was murdered as part of a coverup by a religious cult to hide a series of sexual assaults.
The group's supposed spiritual leader? Tyler Deaton.
When word spread through the halls of Lancaster last week, district officials suspended Deaton — and the phones started ringing at the Jackson County sheriff's office.
"We've heard from several parents from down there," Sgt. Ronda Montgomery said Monday. "Everybody wants to know what's going on."
He had passed the school hiring check of the FBI and Texas Department of Public Safety databases. Someone else was charged in the woman's death. That person initially claimed that Tyler Deaton had told him to kill her but recanted that story.
Official are looking into the case to see if it is appropriate for him to be teaching. On one hand, he could be innocent and trying to rebuild his troubled life. On the other hand, as a parent with a aversion to "spiritual leaders" and the horrible nature of the events that took place, I'd be a bit concerned. Thoughts?


text: I'm pretty new to tennis, so I don't have my local shops/stringers figured out. The strings that came with my racket are getting kind of old, and I'd like to get it restrung, but from what I've been reading a bad string job/improper procedure during stringing may really damage the racket, not to mention completely ruin the string... I really don't want that to happen, so I'm hoping to find a dependable stringer in my area. I live in south pasadena, Los Angles. I guess I'd be willing to drive out a couple miles, but I'd prefer the drive to be less than 30 minutes, because of the gas prices and whatnot. One of my options is my coach at school, but I plan to do that as a last resort because while he only charges 10 dollars for a stringjob, he doesn't let us choose the type of string... so I really don't know exactly what the heck I'm getting. Not to mention, I think a professional stringer will most likely do a better job. The last thing I want is to have my racket head turn rectangular from a freak accident during stringing. So yeah guys... any ideas? I'm not looking for absolute professionals that string at tournments, although that would be pretty cool, I just want to know a place where I can have confidence that they'll do a decent job. (at least get the right lbs and put the strings through the right holes.. etc.) Thanks in advance.

"What's good for the goose..."
The overstriking of Spanish 8 reales and revaluation to 960 reis produced a profit for the Portuguese crown in Brazil. The silver coins were purchased at the going rate of about 750 reis, and then issued at a value of 960 reis, a 25-28% increase for each coin. Multiplied by the millions of coins struck turns out a tidy profit for the kingdom. Around 1814, someone, or a group of someones, got the idea to do the same: restrike Spanish 8 reales as 960 reis and profit.

I really feel that with the right tools and equipment even the most unskilled can get some control over crazy cavalier coats.
I never have perfectly groomed dogs. They are far too busy being dogs to aim for perfection!
Zoey and Molly have natural affinity to burr bushes, Mylee loves puddles and mud and Sadie's white legs show everything. That being said, Mylee is a nightly bed hog, Zoey sneaks up in the mornings to act as my alarm clock, and while visiting, Sadie and Molly both enjoy cuddling on the bed too. Nothing grosses me out more than having dirty dogs in my bed, so I have learned some tips and tricks along the way.
Here are some of my favourite tools and tricks:
1. Grooming table: If you don't own a grooming table, make this the first on your list. Grooming tables provide easy access for grooming your cavalier, and contains them so they can't escape. Prior to a grooming table I used the bathroom counter, and the top of my washer as alternatives.
2. A rubber curry: This stems from my years experience with horses. They work great on loose dead coat! Zoey is shedding enough for 3 cavaliers right now and every few days I take her on the deck and tri-colour fur starts flying. Pictured is a Kong ZoomGroom
3. Kids detangler spray: I came across this tip largely by chance. My Mom always used detangling spray on our hair when we were little to ease ouchy tangles. When she got Molly she asked if there were any reasons why she couldn't try it on her. Mom found the cheapest spray she could find to try it out and has never looked back. It has been wonderful and works better than most of the expensive sprays made for dogs. It is especially wonderful at getting burrs out of dry coat.... yes we are unfortunate experts at burrs.
4. A good shampoo: My favourites are Chris Christensen Spectrum 10, and The Original Mane and Tail for a cheaper option. (Its cheaper if bought in the human section of Walmart vs the Pet section, same product)
5. A buttercomb: Perfect for tangles on ears and feathering.
6. A finishing product: This one was recommended to me to give Molly a little bit of extra shine when she went into the ring. The person who suggested it says she uses it on her own hair every day and loves it. I'd say it worked.. she took Winners Bitch that day at the Purina National!
7. A drying coat: I can't say enough about the importance of owning a drying coat and using it from the start..even when they don't have much coat yet. A drying coat keeps the coat laying flat while you are drying it or while they air dry. It also helps to train the coat to stay growing in the right direction. Even now that Zoey is spayed she has kept her beautiful straight coat.
8. Yummy treats: Last but not least, don't forget the most yummy high value treats you can find. You always want the grooming experience to be very wonderful and positive for your dog. The girls love these right now.
Let us know by commenting on this post what your favourite grooming tool, product, or tip is by May 25th at midnight. The furry beast and I (Zoey) will draw two random names to receive a custom made drying coat.
If commenting anonymously make sure your comment includes your name so that I can contact you directly if you win. Our giveaway is for everyone no matter their location.
Good luck and happy grooming!

Jalometalli 2009
October 20th, 2009
The Jalometalli Open Air Metal festival has gained its status as well as place on the Finnish festival map. Although there are plenty of metal oriented festivals arranged all around in Finland, the Jalometalli festival has found its own style and approach in the metal festival offering in Finland. It doesn't rely on the current hot names on the market like Volbeat and so on, instead the festival offers a more interesting line-up mostly consisting of old school thrash metal and of course death and black metal by having bands which have either never or rarely visited Finland. Especially several 80s thrash metal legends such as Whiplash, Agent Steel have never been seen on the soil of Finland. Now it is about time. Therefore the Metal-Rules.com team made a real assault at Jalometalli by witnessing plenty of killer bands and seeing the general atmosphere and here is the result.

What happens when we become thirsty? When one becomes thirsty, it might seem a simple matter to simply drink some water and assume the water will somehow get into the stomach, then to the intestine where it will be absorbed and enter the blood stream. This is generally true for normal situations, but when fluid losses are excessive, such as in excessive sweating or diarrhea, one needs special beverages to optimize rapid absorption of water and electrolyte without causing side effects.
What happens with dehydration? Dehydration occurs when excessive amounts of water are lost from the body, and, along with the water, electrolytes are also lost. The most important electrolytes are sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate. Depending on the type of fluid loss, these electrolytes are lost in different proportions. To achieve proper rehydration, one must replenish each of these electrolytes in the amounts that are lost.
How to optimize absorption from a beverage? Water and electrolytes are absorbed from the intestine through two main mechanisms: "glucose mediated absorption"and "osmotic absorption." When the right amount of glucose and salts are included in the drink, the glucose leads to active absorption of salts and water. But when the glucose content is increased too much, the osmolarity increases, and the beverage actually works like a laxative, pulling fluid from the blood back into the intestine. This is why drinking large amounts of beverages with high sugar content (including many sports drinks) can cause bloating and even diarrhea.
How to provide extra glucose without increasing osmolarity? While too much glucose in the drink can cause side effects, if the glucose is given as a mixed chain carbohydrate (rather than a simple sugar) double the amount of glucose can be provided, while, at the same time, decreasing osmolarity. The hydration products from Cera Products are made with these mixed chain carbohydrates which maximize rapid absorption while maintaining very low osmolarity and they provide the right concentrations of electrolytes to match your body's needs. .
Which electrolyte level is best? The range of products from Cera Products is designed for specific needs. Cerasport and Cerasport EX1 are for sweat replacement while Ceralyte is designed for losses from the gastrointestinal tract. This is because the electrolyte requirements are different for the different situations.
Nothing beats the patented, physician-developed, rice-based Cera Products in maximizing and sustaining rehydration.

Cedar Hill is usually one of the top teams in the state of Texas and this season is no different. The Longhorns are 5-2 on the year with their only losses coming to a pair of nationally-ranked foes and, as usual, it is the defense pacing the way for the team.
One of the leaders on the defense is linebacker Steven Taylor. The 6-foot-1, 205-pound senior had held offers from Arkansas State and UTEP for quite some time but recently added another one from an in-state program.
"I got an offer from Houston last week," Taylor said. "I didn't know they were going to offer. It definitely came as a surprise to me.
Article Continues Below
"They had come to see me in person, I think. They had also seen my film from around Week Three of the season against Denton Guyer. They said they liked what they saw."
Other than the Cougar coaches Taylor says he has not been in frequent contact with any colleges.
"I haven't really been talking to anybody else lately," he said. "I've talked to Central Arkansas in the past because they offered me. I also talk to UNT every once in a while but not a lot. That's really it."
Taylor could play either inside or outside linebacker but he says the majority of programs see him in the middle.
"Most schools are looking at me to play inside," he said. "Some have said outside but Houston is recruiting me as an inside linebacker."
The new offer made a big impression on the standout defender but he says he is not paying much attention to recruiting at the moment.
"I like Houston but I'm really just focused on my senior season," Taylor said. "We're really trying to win state this year. That's all I'm really worried about right now.
"I like Texas A&M too. That's the school that stands out the most. I really like Houston though. I'm really excited they offered me."

FERNANDINA BEACH -A church isn't a church when it's located in a strip mall, the Nassau County Conditional Use and Variance Board determined March 22.
The board came to that conclusion after County Attorney David Hallman recommended it deny a request from the Journey Church to locate in a commercial building at 14th Street and Sadler Road on Amelia Island.
The church, located between Blockbuster and The Loop restaurant, is in the space previously occupied by the Amelia Wellness Center.
Hallman advised the board to deny the church's request because the building is within 1,000 feet of 11 alcohol-selling businesses: Flash Foods convenience store, The Loop, Applebee's restaurant, the CVS drug store, Kmart and The Great Kahn restaurant, all on Sadler Road, Five Points Package Store and Five Points Pantry convenience store, both on Eighth Street, and Frugal Scot's liquor store, Publix super market and Beef O'Brady's restaurant, all on 14th Street.
Hallman said April 5 he told the board the county's 1971 alcohol ordinance that prohibits alcohol-selling businesses from locating near churches and schools cuts both ways. As it prohibits those establishments from locating near a church, it also prohibits churches from being near alcohol-selling businesses.
"Underpinning the statute is the idea that it's bad public policy to have these two incompatible uses near each other," Hallman said. "If this is a church going in, it would be prohibited from being near a place in that district selling alcohol as it would be the other way around."
During the March 22 meeting, Nassau County builder Wayne Chism said he agreed with county staff's recommendation to deny the variance.
He said he wasn't opposed to the church, but said he suspected future alcohol-selling businesses seeking to open within 1,000 feet of the new church may run into problems.
"If the church was first, in that building, how would they feel about restaurants that serve beer and wine and liquor and liquor stores come around where they're placed?" Chism asked. "I think it's a two-edged sword. I don't think they'd approve of the Frugal Scot moving in where The Loop is if they were in that building."
But Conditional Use and Variance Board Chairman Larry Williams said Monday the board granted the Journey Church an exception because it doesn't meet the county's definition of a church - it's not in a free-standing building.
This isn't the first time a church has located on Amelia Island within an existing commercial building, Williams said. Christ the Redeemer Church did the same thing seven years ago and also received a variance to do so, he said.
"The codes address a church as a standalone building," he said. "We didn't see it defined as a church the way the ordinance sees it defined as a church. Our approach is to do what we can to approve the applicant's request."
Hallman said county law supports the Conditional Use and Variance Board's action.
"The definition of church focused not in the use, but in the physical nature of the building. And there is no definition in the liquor ordinance for what a church would be," Hallman said.
Chism said he would submit a petition, forcing a Nassau County Commission appeal, Hallman said.
"I think the ... [County Commission] needs to take a closer look, not at this situation, but the situation as a whole throughout the county," Chism said March 22.
The Journey Church Pastor Darryl Bellar led his first service Easter Sunday, where the church's casual tone was set. Some parishioners dressed casually; some wore traditional church clothing.
"They can wear flip-flops and shorts - whatever makes them feel comfortable," Bellar said.
Bellar said Monday he doesn't care how many alcohol-selling businesses there are within 1,000 feet of his newly-established church. He says his church is founded on a non-judgmental attitude. He said he chose its central location to reach people.
"It doesn't bother me at all," Bellar said. "They're people. They're doing what they need to do. Maybe they'll share their faith with us. But God's called us to love, not to judge. People do what they want. We're here for our purpose."

About War:
The majority of people understand the Buddha's teaching to be a religion with a program that includes inner and outer peace, humans living together in harmony, the rejection of any form of violence or aggression, a commandment against all killing, and in general a radically pacifist attitude.
His Holiness has done what he can for world peace. For this reason he received the Nobel peace prize in 1989.
Under the leadership of their lamas, the Tibetans in exile have thus succeeded in presenting themselves to the world public as a spiritual people of peace threatened by genocide
And the German Buddhist and actor Sigmar Solbach explained to his television audience that "a war has never been fought in the name of Buddhism" (Spiegel, 16/1998, p. 109). Regrettably, the opposite is the case — countless wars have been fought in the name of Buddhism just as they have in the name of Christianity
Dalai Lama praises US approach to bombing Afghanistan: "At the same time, as a quiet fellow, I am amazed and admire that, at this moment, unlike First World War, Second World, Korean War and Vietnam War, I think the American side is very, very carefully selecting targets, taking maximum precautions about the civilian casualties." - "I think this is a sign of more civilization," said the Dalai Lama. He warned, however, that "bombing can eliminate only physical things, not thoughts or emotions. Talk and reasoning is the only long-term solution." (Strasbourg, Oct 24 – AFP)
In the opinion of the Indian military as well, the religion of the Buddha appears to be not so pacifist as it is presented to us here in the West. Why else would the first Indian nuclear weapons tests (in 1974) have been referred to under the secret code of "The Lord Buddha has smiled!"? Why were the spectacular tests in 1998 deliberately launched on the birthday of the Gautama Buddha? (Focus, 21/1998, p. 297; Spiegel, 21/1998, p. 162). In fact the sole "living Buddha" at this time, the Dalai Lama, has a profound interest in the Indian atomic tests. For him ("as the smiling third party") a confrontation between the two Asian giants (China and India) would be of great political advantage.
It was thus only logical that the "god-king" from Tibet gave the demonstration of a nuclear capability by his host country the Buddhist blessing. While the whole world, especially the heads of state of the G8 countries gathered at the time in Birmingham, protested sharply (President Bill Clinton spoke of "a terrible mistake") the Tibetan "Nobel peace prize winner" approved of the Indian bomb. "India should not", said the Dalai Lama "be pressured by developed nations to get rid of nuclear weapons. ... It should have the same access to nuclear weapons as developed countries. ... The assumption of the concept that few nations are ok to possess nuclear weapons and the rest of the world should not — that's undemocratic" [5] (Associated Press, May 13, 1998). But the disastrous implication of such a statement is that any nation ought to be able to acquire nuclear weapons simply because other countries also possess them. It should be obvious that the Indian public was enthusiastic about the Kundun's approbation. "If a man of peace like Dalai Lama can approve of India's nuclear position," one Mamata Shah wrote on the Internet, "Gandhi too would have no hesitation in approving it" (Nospamlchow, Newsgroup 8).

Giveaway/Swap Packaging and Amount
I'll be mailing out tea for the first time and I'm interested to know how those of you who regularly send out tea package it for shipping.
Edit – And how much tea do you usually give as a sample? In servings/teaspoons please.
Depending on the volume, this http://steepster.com/discuss/509-how-to-find-good-bags-to-package-samples thread may be what you're looking for.
I have not tried them, but these http://www.uline.com/BL_234/Amber-UVI-Bags look like your best bet for sample sizes.
I used to use a sandwich bag, nestled inside another sandwich bag, until I got the small tins from Specialty Bottle:
and now I use them. I like them a lot!
If you don't mind using something that lets in the light, I really don't see the use to double bag.
The advantages of tins are they are better for larger sizes and are better for preventing leaf breakage… unfortunately they make shipping costs more if you aren't using a flat rate box.
I used two because many of the teas I sent were dessert teas and very fragrant! The double bags helped cut down on the scent contamination, but ultimately I didn't find them to be good enough. I remember sending Ricky tea, and EVERY tea became chocolate tea – not the intention! lol! That is why I switched to the tins, even though they are a bit of an expense.
Ah good point… yeah I've heard a few people (AmazonV for one I believe) say plastic bags leak aroma. I've never had that problem so I guess I didn't think of it. That's another bad thing with tins… it's an added expense to purchase them as well as ship them.
Personally, I use small plastic ziplock type bags. I usually try to put in about 3 to 4 heaping teaspoons based on how much I actually have in stock and then use a flat rate box to ship so it is in a solid box that would make it less likely to damage the tea itself. I have considered tins but haven't gone that route yet. I may do so in the future for the above aforementioned reasons.
Labels are nice. Pens don't often work if you're using plastic and magic markers smell.
Thank you. Just labels, a computer and I got the bags on sale at JoAnn Fabrics. I have the flat rate boxes at home and purchase shipping labels online, print and tape on the box. You save a little bit of money that way too and that also means no trip to the post office with a 3 year old in tow. Nice all around!
That's funny my mom in-law works part-time at JoAnn's LOL :-)
I had a ton of the sample-sized tins from Adagio that I emptied out from before their switch to bags, so that's what I've been using for swaps.
Yeah that was a cheap way to obtain tins (especially for a sample fool like me lol)- now you can only get the big ones.
I know! I'm bummed about it, but I guess losing the tins was better than massive price increases.
Eh, more money spent equals faster frequent points accumulation so you get discounts fastor.
It sort of depends whether it's a tea that a I want to get rid of (in which case the person gets the entire amount) or if it's something I'm sharing from my stash. In the latter case I usually measure out enough for four or five cups of tea.
The teas are in labeled ziploc bags and I usually mail them in bubble envelops. I try and make the envelop as flat as possible because if it's under a certain thickness I can send it via airmail which is much cheaper. :D
Here is what I had been thinking about doing, since I'm not sure how regularly I plan to send out loose leaf teas. Teas in ziplock baggies, either regular size or snack size. Mailed in bubble mailers. Tea is very light and I'm used to shipping paperback books the cheapest way possible, which is usually only a few dollars, so I'm sure it will be cheap to ship. And sending enough so it can be tried several times (3-5 teaspoons sounds like a good amount). I know I don't always get a tea quite right the first time. This sounds in line with being acceptable for sending tea. Thanks for the input ya'll.
My tea shop serves tea in silver lined resealable bags w/ a paper bag material on the outside.
Those aren't exactly cheap or easy to get for most tea drinkers though and frankly I think plastic bags do the job for perfectly fine for a week or so in the mail.
Jillian, my whole point was that I reuse them if I'm not planning on getting the tea again (if I reorder and use the same bag I get a discount) so I was just pointing out original or otherwise packaging that can be found at her local tea shop may work. The bags are fine for in the mail if you don't care about aroma seepage, it's when they're out of the mail that I have problem. But we've gotten into this arguement before. We've both stated our opinion so let's let chrine weigh the pros and cons of each method- because no matter what is used there will be some of both, ok? Thanks.
Meghann M just sent me a tiny sample from The Jade Teapot in a tiny manilla envelope! For tiny samples (I wouldn't suggest using it for teas like whites since the leaves are so long and delicate), they are great. Opaque and easily resealable!

Three Houston men arrested in Bellville grocer burglary
Published 6:48 am, Wednesday, November 14, 2012
An apparent burglary attempt at a Bellville grocery store overnight has landed one Houston man in the hospital after taking unknown pharmacy drugs and at least one other in jail.
Developing reports indicate that police in the Austin County town about 60 miles northwest of Houston responded to an alarm around 3 a.m. at Brookshire Brothers grocery store, in the 700 block of South Front Street, and called in the SWAT team when the suspects refused to come out.
KHOU-TV reports on its website that police believe three armed men from Houston originally broke in to steal from the store's safe.
One was taken to a hospital when he got sick after consuming something from the store's pharmacy, KHOU reports.
KTRK-TV reports that authorities found the men inside the pharmacy trying to steal unknown types of drugs.
KPRC-TV Click2Houston reports that the store's security cameras provided a live feed to the police department. The suspects' identities have not yet been released, but were described as "cooperative" at Austin County Jail.

Griffins picking up play as UConn arrives
It's never been about big changes. It's been about little tweaks to lines and chemistry and technique.
It's been about learning to play from success instead of as the underdog.
And it's starting to come together for the Canisius Golden Griffins.
The Griffs return to Atlantic Hockey action this weekend, hosting Connecticut at the Buffalo State Ice Arena at 4 p.m. tonight and Saturday.
"We're talking about a two percent difference in commitment level and that is the difference between comfortable and uncomfortable," Canisius coach Dave Smith said. "Successful teams play at the uncomfortable pace and uncomfortable battle level. It's such a fine line between a rut and a groove."
Canisius had a weekend off after a come-from-behind win over RIT on Nov. 19.
The Griffs (3-7-0 overall) got off to a slow start and struggled to get results against some tough non-conference opponents. But Canisius has won its last two conference games to move to 2-3-0 in league play.
More importantly, they got their groove back on the penalty kill, stifling the last 13 power play opportunities for opponents. Head coach Dave Smith moved juniors Mitch McCrank and Braeden Rigney to the short-handed unit as the Griffs tried to fill the graduation void of Preston Shupe, Torrey Lindsay and Ben Parker.
"There was a little natural downturn after we graduated those guys," Smith said. "Shupe, Lindsay and Parker were on the ice for every PK last year. Suddenly, those are big minutes to fill. We had to refocus and rest our minds. It wasn't the technical stuff but it was the mindset. When you're down a man it's all-for-one and one-for-all. We're in this together. That's the mentality that gets it done."
The Griffs penalty kill will be put to the test against the Huskies who have the second-best power play in the nation (29.63 percent, 8 of 27).
The Huskies are 3-1-0 overall in Atlantic Hockey and 4-4-1 overall. This marks the last year in the conference for Connecticut, which moves into Hockey East next season.
Look for the return of freshman Shane Conacher to the Canisius lineup this weekend. The younger brother of Cory Conacher broke his jaw in the season opener against Niagara. He has returned to practice and is cleared to play.
Taylor Law is still sidelined with a back injury.

Pastor Scott Shannon Asks, "Are You Going To Hell?" in His New Book "Walking With Jesus: How You Can Be An Authentic Christian"
This book invites all to have a close, personal relationship with Jesus Christ
Jul 23, 2014, 10:41 ET
FRANKLIN, N.C., July 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- He follows this disturbing question with, "Many Christians secretly ask themselves this question. Do you? There is no shame in wondering about your salvation, whether you will spend an eternity with Jesus, or whether you are damned."
Pastor Scott wrote this book to encourage any Christian who reads it to follow the Gospels and to become more Christ-like in everything they do. Salvation is an often misunderstood gift from Jesus Christ. His heart bleeds for those millions of Christians who don't know or don't realize the Gospel truths about salvation. They go through life living in ignorance and sin, without repentance, and are unable to experience a true relationship with our Lord. They are going to Hell unless they are born again as a truly new person and live a life totally in line with the teachings of Jesus.
"Walking With Jesus: How You Can Be An Authentic Christian" was published on Amazon.com on July 6th, 2014. Reviews of the book have been overwhelmingly positive.
Jesse Bradley, pastor of California's Sebastopol Community Church wrote, "Scott is very earnest and zealous. Sounding like a prophet, he jumps into controversial topics with a unique personal perspective. His dedication humbles me."
Pastor Scott has also begun a crowdfunding campaign to help him raise funds to market the book. The project, featured on the crowdfunding site Indiegogo.com, is hoping to raise $3,000 to advertise and market the book. The project offers a wide range of perks to donors of $10.00 to $1,000.00.

Oh man, their loved ones are actually there!
They all get to see their relative person for a goodbye. More waterworks eh? Get to more challenges!
well the spoilers were wrong about who won RC. what else may they be wrong about?
As a mom of two teenage boys, Twila's emotion really touches me. Her son seems like a sweet boy.
Ok enough tears, on with the show.
There's no place like home!
What would you say to a loved on that is in the race? I think I would tell the person to not trust a sole as everyone lies.
There's no place like home!
i think this reward gives the chance to "humanize" alot of them to the viewers
I totally agree -- well, okay, not with the part about being a mom of two teenage boys ('cause I'm really just a mom of two dogs and part of a cat) but about Twila's emotion being really touching and about the fact that Twila's son seems like a really sweet boy.Originally Posted by BlueSoup
I'm rooting for Twila to win it all, at this point!

Chapter 19 : Ginny's Arrival
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 8
Background: Font color:
Sir, Ms. Grangers guest Mrs. Potter has arrived, the short and stout man said quiet but sternly. Draco paid him no mind and only looked on to the western countryside.
Ahem, the butler cleared his throat. Draco sighed and turned around slowly.
What was that, he asked the neatly dressed man.
Ms. Grangers guest, Mrs. Potter has arrived, the butler repeated.
Ahh yes, Ginny; kindly inform Hermione please. I will greet Mrs. Potter, Draco instructed. The butler bowed in manner and quickly left the large room. Draco shook his head and headed to the foyer.
Ginny stared in wonder at the large foyer she had been left in. She had never been in a house this large in her life. The naked roman statues stared at her and she felt uneasy from their nude gawking. Though she was afraid to even get close enough to even breathe on one for fear they looked so fragile a single breath could knock one over and shatter it into a million expensive pieces on the floor.
Welcome to Malfoy Manner, Mrs Potter, Draco said politely but slyly at the same time. It had felt weird to call her Mrs. Potter; he could not imagine Harry married. Ginny jumped and spun around at the sound of his voice. It was eerie in a sense how it echoed off the large foyers marble floors and walls.
Thank you kindly for inviting me, Ginny said respectfully.
I did not invite you, Hermione did. But you are welcome here all the same. He said in his Draco way only he was capable of, the way that made you feel both special and yet insignificant at the same time.
Ginny glared at him with a look of warning. Hermione writes that she loves it here the stables especially are spectacular she claims. I can not wait to go riding.
Ah yes. Hermione is quite the rider herself. Funny though I would never have imagined a Weasley as a horse fan, he boasted.
Well I would have never imagined Hermione spending time with some one with the likes of you, she paused and tilted her head causing a strand of red hair to brush her cheek, but then again we are all shocked tremendously from time to time are we not? She gave him a smug grin and turned again to the nude statue of some Roman God.
Draco did not have time for a come back for Hermione came running down the stairs. Her eyes caught his and she flashed him a huge smile.
GIN, she exclaimed as she reached the bottom and ran into her friends arms. Ginny shot Draco a quick sneer over Hermiones shoulder and he sneered back just has hard.
Oh I am so glad you came, Hermione said pulling away from the embrace.
I am much honored to have been invited and the time away from the burrow will be good for me, Ginny said with a warm smile to her friend.
Well I must be off, Draco said softly. Hermione turned to him with sullen eyes at his words. She was going to deeply miss him. She walked over and hugged him.
I will miss you she, whispered very softly into his ear so only he could hear. He closed his eyes and breathed in the sent of her, lavender.
I will return this weekend if you shall have me, he said.
I would like that very much, she answered him with a tender smile. He bowed his head and departed quickly through the large front doors.
Hermione turned and saw Ginnys lost facial expression.
He has been a very good friend to me the past few weeks, Hermione said in explanation.
Just a friend? Ginny questioned.
Gin, Hermione said embarrassed and they both giggled like school girls. They left the foyer arm and arm leaving Ginnys luggage for the butler; who rolled his eyes at the two women has they exited.

Signs and symptoms of foodborne botulism typically begin between 12 and 36 hours after the toxin gets into your body. But, the start of symptoms can range from a few hours to several days, depending on the amount of toxin ingested. Signs and symptoms of foodborne botulism include:
Most people who develop wound botulism inject drugs several times a day, so it's difficult to know for sure how long it takes for signs and symptoms to develop after the toxin enters the body. Wound botulism signs and symptoms include:
If infant botulism is related to food, such as honey, problems generally begin within 18 to 36 hours after the toxin enters the baby's body. Signs and symptoms include:
Certain signs and symptoms usually don't occur with botulism. For example, botulism doesn't generally increase blood pressure or heart rate, or cause fever or confusion. However, sometimes, wound botulism may cause fever.
Seek urgent medical care if you suspect that you have botulism. Early treatment increases your chances of survival, and lessens your risk of complications.
Seeking medical care promptly may also alert public health authorities. They may then be able to keep other people from eating contaminated food.

Ireland Hall's 15th-annual teeter-totter marathon under way
Family life has its ups and downs, but there should be no teetering on the issue of family violence, say residents of Ireland Hall, an all-male student residence at the University of St. Thomas.
That's why, for the 15th consecutive year, they're staging a 72-hour teeter-totter marathon May 2-5 on the university's St. Paul campus.
They hope to raise thousands for Minneapolis-based Tubman Family Alliance, a consolidation of the Family Violence Network and Harriet Tubman Center; the organization is the largest single umbrella provider of family violence services and prevention programming in the country.
The men began the first of 150,000 or so teeters on Sunday evening.
Daytime marathoners — whose teeter-totter rides take place between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. — will see-saw on Foley Plaza on the campus' south quadrangle. Night riders — those scheduled between 7 p.m. and 9 a.m. — will work outside Ireland Hall on the north quadrangle.
Each Ireland Hall resident has a goal to secure pledges and contributions; if they meet them, they could raise more than $4,000. That's how much the effort raised last year.
Tubman serves some 50,000 men, women and children annually in the Twin Cities area; its agencies include three crisis shelters; a broad range of legal, health and mental health services; transitional support; children's programs; counseling and therapy services for those behaving abusively; and prevention and community-involvement programs.
For more information, contact Ireland Hall Director Jason Neuhaus, (651) 497-2041.

That game can't really be described with words, so of course, the only reasonable thing to do is try to recap it using google images and a fake Q&A session. Here goes:
So how'd the game start?
Then what happened?
How'd the Wings respond?
Oh well, it must have gotten better in the third. Right?
Howard let in five goals, what do think was off with his game tonight?
of the
Eh well, every goalie has an off night. I hear Happy had an off night again as well. What do you think should be done with him?
Well jeez, that's a bit extreme. Did anyone play well?
I see the Wings offense stumbled after the first. What was missing?
How about Ericsson? He's been playing well, who'd he resemble on the ice tonight?
Well overall, what'd you think of the Wings' effort?
A double Mike Ricci? That IS ugly.
(I reserve the right to take back everything I said about everyone after the next game.)

Simon Cowell biographer says a sequel is on the cards
Writer Tom Bower is planning a sequel to his revealing biography of Simon Cowell — and he said the X Factor boss has already agreed to talk to him.
Bower's unauthorised book, published last week, was assembled from hundreds of hours of conversations with the media mogul.
The journalist said Cowell had conceded some of the revelations were embarrassing, but they "remain friends".
The biography, Sweet Revenge, detailed the millionaire TV and music boss's affair with Dannii Minogue and unflattering comments about X Factor judges and contestants.
He said he had spoken to Cowell since the contents became public.
"The first call was 'you are getting a lot of publicity for your book'. He said 'it's a bit embarrassing, you got things I didn't know you'd got'. But we get on very well."
Bower said he was contacted "out of the blue" by Cowell when he heard he was working on a book about him and agreed to cooperate.
He said there would be enough material for a second book. "Oh yes, there will be a sequel. He'll be with us for a long time I think," Bower confirmed.

A Princess Tutu fanfic by Klondike Aura
Death, by its very nature, is never what is expected.
The Knight had his hopes, as everyone does. But then death came for him. Lohengrin remembers spending so many years without living, wondering what waits for him beyond the veil. Now that it's happened and the last vestiges of dying had faded, what could be left for the Knight?
Lohengrin puts his hand to his shoulder, the pain of the Raven's claw nothing more than memory while the phantom sensation of touch lingers. He follows it down with his eyes, the red staining across his abdomen.
If someone had asked the Knight years ago what he wanted when he died, he would have answered with his wife without hesitation. But now...
But now...
What remains of the Knight's being is overwhelmed at the sight of the Princess as she was moments before her confession. It shouldn't be possible but he feels his vision blur with hot tears. Tutu looks at her friend and Lohengrin watches her expression change as she follows the same path down he saw before.
"Oh Lohengrin, I'm sorry..." she gasps from behind her hand.
"It doesn't hurt anymore," he manages to say, dismissing her concern.
"Then why? Are you... Crying for me?"
"Oh foolish girl," the Knight chokes out. "Did you think me so cold or yourself so unremarkable? Think I wouldn't be affected when you..."
If they could feel, it would be too tight. But Lohengrin wouldn't care unless he heard Tutu voice her discomfort over his sobs. There was so much he wanted to tell her and yet he found himself so tired of words. All words had ever done is take away those he loves. He eventually lets her go and, though he lacks the experience, circles his hands over his head before offering one to her.
"Sorry if I get anything wrong," Lohengrin says, the only words he gives her before they begin to dance.
Tutu laughs, that being the least of what worries are here, and it warms the Knight in a way he never thought he would know again. A step here, a bow there, remembrance, promise, joy. And then...
The Princess takes a step back, her hand flying to her mouth again. "Do you know what that mime means?" she asks.
"Yes," he answers. "And now if only I could turn into a speck of light and vanish."
"Lohengrin, I-" she begins, but stops when he shakes his head.
"It doesn't matter now. And if I realized it earlier, I cared too much about you and Siegfried to hurt you with my selfishness. Even now it feels like some heavy sin to know I loved you as well as Elsa, maybe even more."
The Princess steps forward and takes the Knight's hands, her own ethereally delicate. And now he must say it, say it or it might never be as real as it can be.
"I love you, Tutu."
She smiles and dips her head the way she did right before she spoke to the Prince, though her words this time are, "I wish I could give you the happiness you deserve."
"Foolish girl," he calls her again. "You brought more happiness to me than I thought was possible. I would never ask you to give me your heart, but mine belongs to you."
And the last touch either of them know is his lips brushing against her forehead.
Author's Notes: Another short story from my headcanon for The Prince and the Raven. In it, Princess Tutu initially meets and befriends the Knight while he was mourning his wife's death.

After TheRoot.com rejected Karl Evanzz review of the late Manning Marable's Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention, Evanzz posted a shortened version of the negative review on his blog–causing a stir among academics.
The Washington Post explained: "The flap is gaining attention in the intense world of Malcolm X studies, where theories about the civil rights leader's life can be as polarizing as the man himself. The controversy was reported Wednesday on Richard Prince's Journal-isms media criticism blog."
The review, entitled "Paper Tiger: Manning Marable's Poison Pen," strongly criticized the biography. According to the Post, managing editor Joel Dreyfuss informed Evanzz that the piece would not be published and Evanzz received a $100 kill fee. (via Ron Charles)

Review of Marketing and Agricultural Economics, 1996, vol. 64, issue 01
Japanese agricultural policy has undergone substantial change in the last year. Since the completion of the Uruguay Round, the rice market has been partially opened, import quotas on agricultural products have been replaced by tariffs and there has been a general shift away from consumer funding of agricultural programs to funding by taxpayers. These changes are making Japanese agricultural policies more transparent and more open to scrutiny. There is now recognition in Japan that the changes are irreversible and that agriculture will be faced with increasing competition from imports.

Nothing to See Here: Chuck Todd Skips Controversy in Obama Making NCAA Picks During Crises
MSNBC's Chuck Todd on Wednesday hyped the fact that Barack Obama will
be making his NCAA tournament picks on ESPN. The Daily Rundown anchor
enthused, "You got about 27 hours to get your brackets in. The President has already done his."
Perhaps referencing the devastating earthquake in Japan or the ongoing crisis in Libya, Todd vaguely allowed, "He's a bit distracted, of course. Maybe he just doesn't just have time to do the research [for college basketball]." But, the MSNBC anchor didn't question the appropriateness of making televised basketball while Japan's nuclear reactors are still a major threat.
It's not as though journalists aren't raising the issue. The New York Post's John Podhoretz on Tuesday wrote:
Japan may be on the verge of a disaster that dwarfs any we have yet seen. A self-governing nation like the United States needs its leader to take full measure of his position at times of crises when the path forward is no longer clear.
This is not a time for leadership; this is the time for leadership.
So where is Barack Obama?
And he appeared at a fund-raiser in DC. And sat down with ESPN to reveal his NCAA picks.
National Review's Jim Geraghty wondered:
Okay, that's not all he's doing. "Obama will tape interviews from the Map Room with KOAT Albuquerque, KDKA Pittsburgh and WVEC Hampton Roads on education reform and the need to fix No Child Left Behind."
Japan faces an almost unparalleled crisis, Libya is in civil war, and we're having another budget showdown after running up a $222.5 billion deficit in the 28 days of February.
Todd talked to ESPN's Andy Katz and played up the fun of college
basketball: "I'll ask you about three teams because the President has
personal political connections to three of them. Number one, Xavier,
John Boehner, Speaker Boehner, his new nemesis on capitol hill, what did
he do with Xavier?"
Has the MSNBC host forgotten how reporters treated George W. Bush after Hurricane Katrina?
A partial transcript of the segment, which aired at 9:53am EDT, follows:
CHUCK TODD: All right, you got about 27 hours to get your brackets in. The President has already done his. He's a bit distracted, of course. Maybe he just doesn't just have time to do the research. But we've discovered a disturbing trend in the President's ability to correctly pick just the Final Four. In 2008, he got three out of the four right. Remember, he wasn't President then. In 2009, he picked the champs correctly but missed the other three members of the Final Four. In 2010, he was O for the Final Four. So, with a chance to redeem himself in 2011, the President is taking the safe route. He's picking four number one seeds. He filled out his bracket with ESPN.com senior writer Andy Katz who now joins me. The President's Final Four all chalk. Talk about a guy not prepared, huh, for the- to break down the madness, huh?
ANDY KATZ: Well, I'll tell you once again he has found time for very few minutes of distraction because he does have the knowledge. I mean, he knew about Kimba Walker's run through the Big East tournament and the Morris twins from Kansas and Jared Sullinger from Ohio State. But, he went chalk. But, that's not surprising because I almost went chalk myself. So, I think a lot of people, based on the regions were set up by the selection committee, you know, he was looking for a way to knock Pittsburgh out in that southeast, but he just didn't find another team to push the Panthers out of that. And that's why he advanced them to the final four.
TODD: I'll ask you about three teams because the President has personal political connections to three of them. Number one, Xavier, John Boehner, Speaker Boehner, his new nemesis on capitol hill, what did he do with Xavier? How quickly did he oust them?
KATZ: Xavier was out in first round, though I had them out in the second round, had them beating Marquette. So, it is not surprising to not advance them very far. I would actually challenge - I would challenge a lot of people to see if they really knew that John Boehner was a graduate of Xavier.
TODD: Fair enough. Fair enough. How about Louisville, Mitch McConnell's alma mater? What did do with Louisville? How far did he take them?
KATZ: He took Louisville not as far as the Final Four but certainly- I asked him about that, I was dismissed quickly that there was any political connection.
TODD: Summarily out of hand. Yeah. And then, of course, there is the Reggie love connection, one of the President's close personal aides, Reggie Love, a former Duke basketball player. What was the smart talk out of the President regarding Duke's advancement to the Final Four?
KATZ: Well, as you'll see, as we debut the piece at noon on Sportscenter, you'll see he does reference a year ago, since he did not advance Duke to the Final Four, he got some flack from Coach K when Coach K and the Blue Devils came to the White House.

Some news from the National Library of Scotland's latest newsletter:
* 120 new films can be now be viewed on the Scottish Screen Archive website, including new titles from the Films of Scotland Collection and the Scottish Educational Film Association.
* A new series of four video guides is now online to give a historical overview of NLS and provide step-by-step information on how to find resources and access them in person or from home, school, work or anywhere with internet access. The resource also has an interactive floor plan which will be useful for people planning to visit the Library for the first time but even existing users may discover something new.
* The new Scots Abroad website features the stories of six Scottish emigrants who left their homeland to settle in Canada, the United States, Argentina and New Zealand, constructed from letters, photographs, maps and official documents from the Library's collections on emigration. The website also provides information and web links to the wealth of resources on Scottish emigration held in the NLS and outside.
* From 1 June the self-service photocopiers in the General Reading Room will be replaced with two Book2Net Kiosks, which will allow customers to produce digital colour images to their own USB stick, and/or bi-tonal A3 and A4 paper copies. I managed to see one of these recently at the new PRONI archive in Belfast, a neat piece of kit - see below for an image.
(With thanks to the NLS)

Ariel Sharon, one of the most controversial figures in Israeli politics, has died at the age of 85.
The former prime minister had been in a coma for eight years having suffered a stroke in January 2006.
His son Gilad officially announced the death at the hospital where his father had been treated.
Doctors there had predicted his imminent death after his health declined sharply last week, when he suffered serious kidney problems following surgery.
Mr Sharon played a key role in Israeli history, as an army general and later as a politician.
He left major historical footprints on the Middle East through military invasion, Jewish settlement-building on occupied land the Palestinians seek for a state but also the shock, unilateral decision to withdraw from the Gaza Strip.
"Arik was a valorous soldier and a bold statesman who contributed much to the security and building up of the State ofIsrael," said President Shimon Peres, a former political ally of Mr Sharon.
Mr Peres is now, with the ex-premier's death, the last of the Jewish state's founders still in public life.
Officials said Mr Sharon, who took power in 2001 soon after the start of a second Palestinian uprising that raged until 2005, would be buried in a state funeral to which foreign dignitaries would be invited.
Israeli army radio said tonight Mr Sharon will be buried on Monday afternoon at his southern ranch after a memorial service earlier in the day in parliament.
According to the report, Mr Sharon's coffin will be placed at parliament in Jerusalem tomorrow to enable the public to pay their last respects.

Theatre director, playwright and critic
Theatre director, playwright and critic
Born: January 26 1934; Died: May 2 2014

CHARLES Marowitz, who had died aged 80, was a theatrical iconoclast of the 1960s counter-cultural avant-garde whose uncompromising attitude left its mark bluntly and without sentiment.
This was the case whether causing trouble in Edinburgh and Glasgow at the Traverse and Citizens Theatres, working closely with Peter Brook at the Royal Shakespeare Company, deconstructing Shakespeare in London at the radical Open Space theatre he co-founded with producer Thelma Holt, or advocating his artistic vision in Los Angeles during his later years.
He alienated many and not for nothing was his score-settling autobiography called Burnt Bridges.
The youngest of three children born in New York to Polish Jewish immigrants who worked in the clothing industry, Marowitz staged his first production, of Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, aged 14, and by 17 had founded his own theatre company and was writing reviews for the Village Voice.
After doing army service in Korea in France, he moved to London, where he enrolled at the London Academy of Music, Art and Drama. By 1958, he had staged a London production of Gogol's play, Marriage, and in 1962 worked on the RSC's revival of King Lear by Peter Brook.
He became assistant director to Brook for the next three years, working with him on Peter Weiss's Marat/Sade and Jean Genet's The Screens.
However, it was in Edinburgh in 1962 where his reputation as an enfant terrible was cemented when he took part in publisher John Calder's International Drama Conference in 1963 at the McEwan Hall.
In what is regarded by many to have been the first Happening on UK soil, Marowitz, in cahoots with fellow travellers that included artist Mark Boyle, Ken Dewey, Allan Kaprow and Hollywood actress Carroll Baker, cut through a week of dry pontification with a pseudo-speech that gave way to a cacophonous melee that involved a taped collage of preceding events, bagpipe music and a brief appearance of nude model Anna Kesselaar whose tabloid-friendly presence gave the event its notoriety, even as it woke the event up from its torpor.
Marowitz went on to become a key figure in the early days of the Traverse Theatre alongside another American, Jim Haynes. Marowitz would go on to direct at the Jeannetta Cochrane Theatre, set up by Haynes and others with the intention of being a London version of the Traverse.
While Marowitz directed commercially successful productions of Joe Orton's Loot, Sam Shepard's The Tooth of Crime and other plays here, it was his own Open Space, started in a basement off Tottenham Court Road, that captured its underground spirit.
Marowitz returned to controversy in 1965, when the first night of his scheduled production of Doctor Faustus at Glasgow's Citizens Theatre's experimental studio base, the Close Theatre, was cancelled at the last minute.
Marowitz had his Mephistopheles sport masks for each of the seven deadly sins, with a mask of the Queen used for Sloth being deemed in bad taste by the Citizens board, whose chair, Michael Goldberg, pulled the plug seven minutes before curtain was due to rise on a packed house.
A full-on argument in front of a packed audience of press and local dignitaries became a piece of theatre in itself, with Marowitz claiming he was being censored, with Goldberg and fellow board member Duncan Macrae angrily defending their decision until Marowitz stormed out of the theatre.
"Producer Offensive To The Queen" ran the headline in the Glasgow Herald the next day, before the production went ahead with actor Peter Halliday sporting Britannia's helmet rather than the Queen's tiara in a not entirely convincing sleight-of-hand.
Marowitz adopted a cavalier attitude towards both classic and modern plays, with Shakespeare in particular falling prey to a cut and paste irreverence that pre-dated many post-modern directors, with his A Hamlet, A Macbeth and others outraging purists even as a younger and more open-minded audience lapped them up.
In 1981, having alienated pretty much anyone in British theatre he had worked with, and with the Open Space having closed its doors a year earlier, Marowitz returned to the United States, where he opened a new Open Space in Los Angeles.
He also became assistant director of the Los Angeles Theatre Centre, which he left suddenly in 1989 after a series of rows.
It was a similar story with the Malibu stage Company, which he founded in 1990, before his 12-year tenure as artistic director ended after he was fired following a unanimous decision by the company's board.
In 1987, Marowitz's play, Sherlock's Last Case, appeared on Broadway, with Frank Langella in the title role, and in 2002, Murdering Marlowe, which imagined a meeting between Marlowe and Shakespeare, was selected as a finalist for the GLAAD Media Awards.
He is survived by his second wife, Jane Windsor-Marowitz, who he married in 1982, and their son, Kostya.

Recently, I swore my allegiance, taking up the cause of a growing movement in this country to "buy American."
For one thing, I've been shopping at local produce markets. As far as I know, the stores' crop yield this year still consists mostly of fruits and vegetables harvested on American soil, right? Except maybe for bananas.
I also pledged I would not buy or wear any new clothes that weren't bearing a "made in USA" label.

Me too :-) But 1831 is a bit too early
The present Canadian flag was introduced in 1965. And I was alive then.
It's been like that since 1831. And believe it or not, but I wasn't even born then. I have no idea actually.
Thanks starlord. Why black, yellow and red?
That was a pretty good time, compared to mine. The Belgian flag is easy. Vertical black, yellow and red. Remember that. A test will be held tomorrow :-)
My time was 4:48. This would be a nice poster hanging in a hallway. There are so many flags I don't know. I should try to learn a few more.
I don't see your name on the board, Cevas. Pretty difficult, was it?
Nice picture and puzzle. Thank you, Starlord.
Well, it would keep you busy. Otherwise you'll get bored.
No thanks that would a 2 day job.
Want it in 300 pcs? That should be good for a couple of hours of fun :-)
My score was 5.51 couldn't believe ti was that hard.
I was on the board for about... an hour :-) Being one of the first to solve it can do that. 5:57 was apparently not fast enough.to stay on it :-(
Little harder than I thought. Sure didn't make the board.

Distributed Data Sharing With Security in Cloud Networking
Cloud computing presents a delivery model for IT services based on internet and provides a scalable service to easily consume over the internet on an as-needed basis. A major feature is cloud service is that data processed on clouds are often outsourced, leading to number of issues related to accountability including the handling of personally identifiable information. By enjoying the convenience brought by his new emerging technology, user's fears of using control of their of own data can become a significant barrier to the wide adoption of cloud services. To address this problem here, the authors propose a novel highly decentralized information accountability framework to keep track of actual usage of user's data in the cloud.

Hi donno20,
Go to the Interchange Development Home Page for a start. Doing a very quick search I found this link which is a good start.
I'd highly recommend persisting with this software, I've used it since '95 (though only under *nix) and has gone from strength to strength. Another good idea would be to get on their Mail List/s.
Good luck.
