When you're scanning a restaurant menu or walking the grocery store aisles, do you know what many of the food terms really mean? What designates "local," and what is the difference between organic and non-organic?
These terms and others are becoming staples on menus and in stores – and, until now, few have been clearly defined.
Just in time for that special Valentine's Day meal, U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance wants to help you learn more about your choices and where your food comes from. Whether you're dining out or grocery shopping, knowing some key food terms can help you navigate the menu and the supermarket. Here are common food-related terms you're sure to see at restaurants or supermarkets.
Organic: The main difference between organic and non-organically grown foods is the production method – those who raise organically-grown food must follow a strict set of guidelines outlined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The USDA organic label indicates that the food or other agricultural product has been produced through approved methods that integrate cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that foster cycling of resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity. Like many other value-added products, organic food can be more expensive because, in some cases, it costs more to produce. For example, organically-raised pigs must be fed only organic feed produced without synthetic pesticides, and may not be given antibiotics. A common misconception is that the increased cost of organic food relates directly to its superior nutritional value, which is unproven.
Another common misconception about organic food production involves pesticide and fertilizer use. Organic farmers can choose from organic certified pesticides and fungicides, which are outlined by the USDA Certified Organic program. They can also use organic matter (livestock manure) for fertilizer.
Local: Local food is grown (or raised) and harvested close to where it is sold. It's distributed a much shorter distance than is common in the conventional global industrial food system, which sustains our nation and world. Supporting local businesses is great – from the mom-and-pop hardware store to local farms and ranches. Did you know 95 percent of U.S. farms are family-owned? Our nation needs farms of all sizes and locations to help grow enough food for our growing population, especially during the winter months when some areas are simply too cold to grow crops.
Hormone-free: Hormones occur naturally in all farm animals, just as they do in humans – it's a natural part of life, so no beef, pork, poultry or dairy products are "hormone-free." When it comes to poultry raised in America, no hormones are ever used to promote growth, a common misconception. Hormones are used in farm animals under the guidance of veterinarians and animal nutritionists and only given in targeted ways – in very low doses and at particular times in the animal's life. Over the past several decades they've been studied heavily. Hormones continue to be approved for use in this country and many others because studies have shown they pose no risk to consumers.
"America's farmers and ranchers provide a variety of food, grown and raised in different ways to appeal to consumer choices. I want to make sure that people are having conversations about food and know where their food comes from," said Katie Pratt, an Illinois farm mom and U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance spokesperson. "There are many options out there for people, so knowing these key terms and how their food is grown and raised is really important when making decisions – either at a restaurant or when buying food for your family in stores."

WASHINGTON >> House Republican leaders offered President Barack Obama a three-month reprieve to a looming, market-rattling debt crisis today, backing off demands that any immediate extension of the government's borrowing authority be accompanied by stiff spending cuts.
The retreat came with a caveat aimed at prodding Senate Democrats to pass a budget after almost four years of failing to do so: a threat to cut off the pay of lawmakers in either House or Senate if their chamber fails to pass a budget this year. House Republicans have passed budgets for two consecutive years.
The idea got a frosty reception from House Democrats but a more measured response from the White House and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.
Republicans hadn't settled on full details, but the measure would give the government about three more months of borrowing authority beyond a deadline expected to hit as early as mid-February, No. 2 House Republican Eric Cantor of Virginia said Friday.
The legislation wouldn't require immediate spending cuts as earlier promised by GOP leaders like Speaker John Boehner of Ohio. Instead, it's aimed at forcing the Democratic-controlled Senate to join the House in debating the federal budget.
"We are going to pursue strategies that will obligate the Senate to finally join the House in confronting the government's spending problem," Boehner told GOP lawmakers at a retreat in Williamsburg, Va. "The principle is simple: 'no budget, no pay.'"
But the move ran into opposition from House Democrats, including leader Nancy Pelosi of California, who called it a gimmick because it would set up another potential confrontation in just a few months. Votes from Democrats may be needed to help pass the measure if GOP conservatives opposed to any increase in the debt limit withhold their support.
"This proposal does not relieve the uncertainty faced by small businesses, the markets and the middle class," said Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill. "This is a gimmick unworthy of the challenges we face and the national debate we should be having. The message from the American people is clear: no games, no default."
But Senate Democrats and the White House were more cautious and sounded encouraged that Republicans seemed to be beating a tactical retreat.
"We are encouraged that there are signs that congressional Republicans may back off their insistence on holding our economy hostage to extract drastic cuts in Medicare, education and programs middle-class families depend on," said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney in a statement. "Congress must pay its bills and pass a clean debt-limit increase without further delay."
"It is reassuring to see Republicans beginning to back off their threat to hold our economy hostage," said Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson. "If the House can pass a clean debt-ceiling increase to avoid default and allow the United States to meet its existing obligations, we will be happy to consider it."
But in Washington-speak, a "clean" debt limit increase means a stand-alone measure without additional items — like the "no budget, no pay" idea — attached. Jentleson said Reid and his fellow Senate Democrats have yet to decide how they'll respond to the measure.
The "no budget, no pay" idea is backed by No Labels, a group started about two years ago by both Democrats and Republicans in hopes of easing the partisanship and gridlock that has engulfed Washington. Sponsors in Congress include Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Tenn., and Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev.
The Democratic-controlled Senate passed a similar idea in 2011 when unanimously adopting a measure to deny pay to members of Congress and the president if the government shuts down for lack of an agency funding bill. But top lawmakers like Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., have argued that the idea violates a provision of the Constitution that says Congress can't change its pay until an election has passed.
At the same time, while Democrats like Pelosi and allies like Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland protest the idea of a short-term debt increase in the government's $16.4 trillion debt cap, they orchestrated comparable short-term debt relief when they controlled Congress in 2009.
GOP leaders, meanwhile, have been grappling with how to gain leverage in their battles with Obama over the budget. Boehner successfully won about $2 trillion in spending cuts as a condition of increasing the government's borrowing cap in 2011.
Obama, however, was dealt a stronger hand by his re-election in November and successfully pressed through a 10-year, $600 billion increase on upper-bracket tax payers earlier this month.
Other choke points remain, including sharp, across-the-board spending cuts that would start to strike the Pentagon and domestic programs alike on March 1 and the possibility of a partial government shutdown with the expiration of a temporary budget measure on March 27.
Failing to meet those deadlines would have far less serious consequences than defaulting on U.S. obligations like payments to bondholders, Social Security recipients and myriad other commitments when the government confronts a cash crisis and can no longer borrow to make payments. That could cause a meltdown in financial markets and would inflame voters already disgusted with Congress.
Under Congress' arcane budget procedures, a congressional budget resolution is a nonbinding measure that tries to set parameters for future legislation setting agency budgets and curbing federal benefit programs like Medicare.
Boehner has previously invoked a promise that any increase in the government's borrowing cap would be matched, dollar for dollar, by spending cuts or "reforms" that could include curbs on the long-term growth in retirement programs such as Medicare. Friday's announcement did not repeat that specific promise.
"Before there is any long-term debt limit increase, a budget should be passed that cuts spending," Boehner said. "The Democratic-controlled Senate has failed to pass a budget for four years. That is a shameful run that needs to end, this year."
The measure picked up support from key GOP conservatives, including the current and former chairmen of the Republican Study Committee, a powerful group inside the House GOP.
"In order to allow time for the Senate to act, next week's bill will extend the debt limit for three months," the Study Committee said Friday in a statement. "This is a necessary first step as we work to halt the decline of America and puts the focus where it belongs: on the Senate who has failed to do their jobs to pass a budget for more than three years." The statement was issued by RSC Chairman Steve Scalise, R-La., and former chairmen, Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, Tom Price, R-Ga., and Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas.
Obama's budget is due early next month but is expected to be released several weeks later.

The 2012 Atlantic hurricane season that spawned the destruction of Sandy and Isaac has come to an end as one for the record books.
There were 19 named storms in what meteorologists consider an above-average year that tied as being the third most-active season since 1851. The season runs from June 1st to November 30th, although tropical storms can and do sometimes develop outside those dates.
Even without a so-called major storm reaching the U.S., there was plenty of damage. A storm is classed as major once it becomes a Category 3 hurricane, with top sustained winds of 111 miles per hour and more.
Seven years have now gone by without a major hurricane making U.S. landfall, the longest stretch on record.
Dennis Feltgen, a spokesman for the National Hurricane Center, said a persistent jet stream pattern has steered storms away from the U.S. in recent years.
It wasn't enough to keep away Sandy, which morphed from hurricane to superstorm as it slammed into the New Jersey coast in October and wreaked havoc across the Northeast. It left millions without power and killed at least 125 people in the U.S. and 71 in the Caribbean.
The storm is estimated to have caused about $62 billion in damage and other losses in the U.S., most of it in New York and New Jersey. It is the second-costliest storm in U.S. history after 2005's Hurricane Katrina.
Hurricane Isaac struck southern Louisiana in August on the eve of Hurricane Katrina's seventh anniversary, swamping the Gulf Coast after trudging through the Gulf of Mexico and delaying the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla.
Sandy combined with an early winter storm and blast of artic air from the north to create a deadly brew meteorologists coined "Frankenstorm" and struck two days before Halloween.
A somewhat similar phenomenon occurred with the so-called Perfect Storm off the coast of New England in 1991, but that storm did not strike a major metropolitan region like Sandy.
"This was certainly one for the record books," Feltgen said.
A typical hurricane season has 12 named storms, six of which become hurricanes and three major storms. This year 10 storms became hurricanes and just one a Category 3 or higher, though it remained in the Atlantic Ocean.
Four storms in all made landfall, including Tropical Storm Beryl, which struck Jacksonville, Fla., with 75 miles per hour winds, the strongest tropical storm to strike the U.S. before hurricane season officially starts.
Whether next year's hurricane season will bring another calamitous strike is still too early to predict.
"You can't use this year as a gauge for next year," Feltgen said. "You have to go into each season thinking, `This is the year I'm going to be hit and I have to be ready for it."

America Observes Veterans Day, Honors Servicemembers [PHOTOS]
Across the country on Monday, Americans observed Veterans Day, commemorating the service of its military men and women, active and retired, or killed in action.
At Arlington National Cemetery, President Obama continued the tradition of laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns, and spoke briefly thanking veterans for their service. In particular, he described how the country must never forget the sacrifices made by its soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines, and also their families.
The president also honored Richard Overton, who at 107 years old is believed to be America's oldest living veteran. Overton served in the South Pacific during World War II.
In New York, the country's largest Veterans Day parade, known as America's Parade, featured Grand Marshal Ann E. Dunwoody, the first woman to attain four-star-general status. Dallas also held a parade, one that saw 25,000 spectators and 150 new enlistees.
Those parades are just two of the numerous events being held today. The Veterans Department has put together a map of Veterans Day celebrations across the country.

Are we seeing the beginning of a trend from the occupant of the Oval Office — a President Obama unbound?
That's the question after Obama cast aside his usual caution while speaking at a town hall-style meeting in Binghamton, N.Y., on Friday. Asked about his proposals for attacking soaring higher education costs, Obama said:
"This is probably controversial to say, but what the heck. I'm in my second term, so I can say it. [Audience laughter.] You know, I believe, for example, that law schools would probably be wise to think about being two years instead of three years because by the third year — in the first two years, young people are learning in the classroom. The third year they'd be better off clerking or practicing in a firm, even if they weren't getting paid that much."
The president, a former University of Chicago law school lecturer, was injecting some levity into what is, yes, a controversial topic. The issue of two- versus three-year programs is at the center of a hot debate in legal education circles.
But his humor had a basis in truth. And it's true that as a president who no longer has to worry about re-election, the habitually cautious Obama is freer to wade into controversies he might have avoided in his first term.
Some observers certainly believed that's what they saw earlier this summer after George Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges in the death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin.
Maybe the president would have spoken as unequivocally as an African-American if the verdict had come before Election Day. But some who heard him were sure he spoke the way he did because re-election worries were behind him.
Of course, the president himself signaled last year that he would be freer to act after his re-election.
It wasn't a signal meant for public consumption, but remember when Obama told then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he would have "more flexibility" after his re-election?
Being unbound may not make it any more likely that he gets his legislative proposals through the GOP-led House. But he could kick-start a few interesting national discussions, if nothing else.

any more due to heat considerations and now I also have available LED lights, with both the traditional round under cabinet look and the long strip LED lights
too. Thickness's of the shelf to accommodate such lights depend upon your selection. In the past lights of one form or another have been used in shelves as thin
as 25mm upto 50mm and beyond.
I lovingly pre make, made to measure, hand crafted, traditional and contemporary and classic, wood or painted finished Floating Shelving, with a fast and easy

custom fitted period or modern alcove units/cabinets are also a good solution to keeping either your files or books or toys or DVD's and other bits and pieces. I
can hide all cables inside the cabinet to avoid the mess of cables that you usually find around TV's and videos and of course give it that unique fitted look.
Along with a whole range of finishes including Oak Birch Walnut, I also have a spray booth enabling me to produce high gloss or satin and matt sprayed finishes
with that unique tough long lasting finish. Any colour catered for and any style, Victorian, Edwardian, traditional or modern. With many examples available and
previous completed jobs for your perusal, why not drop me a line or email and let me collate the most up to date collection of images and examples for you to

wall. My bookcases have options including doors on the front or doors fitted low down making cabinets or cupboards.
Fitted Wardrobes fitted either side of my fire place.
I can design your wardrobes to your required specifications, and produce a sketch for your approval. Once the design is agreed and you decide to go ahead with
the work I will need to take a 33% deposit to cover materials I will use MDF or Laminated boards or real wood for the wardrobes depending on our agreement. If
you require mirrored doors or sliding doors or hardwood wardrobes the deposit may be slightly higher rising to as much as 50%, with payment due upon completion,
and cover areas such as addresses. If you decide to contact me I will let you know immediately my availability, and if you wish to proceed to obtaining a no
obligation quote, then all I need is your email address location and design/budget. Or if your just investigating prices then I will send you out past projects
and their associated prices.
Lighting inside wardrobes
Clothes rail LED strip lighting is fitted instead of the normal hanging rail. This interior lit hanging rail has a sensor which turns on a light automatically
once you open the door. Wardrobe lighting is low energy, but bright enough. Low-level lighting is an extremely useful addition to your fitted wardrobes, but it
does cost. Typically costs for these kinds of hanging rails to measure, order, collect and fit comes in at about Ł190 per rail. However incorporating hanging
rail lighting into wardrobes has clear advantages.
Lead Times
Lead times are discussed, if you need something fast, then I will let you know what I can do. I am happy to work overtime if it helps one of my customers.
Weekends are not a problem, I just ask my partner and if she says yes, then it's a go.

A Sonia look-a-like at the Fall/10 show, decked out completely in Sonia with even Sonia red hair.
Inside the show, another "older" fan.
The older French Girl or OFG can have quite long hair. It can be white or whatever.
I love this hair salon poster of a fierce
Three OFGs out shopping on rue Saint Honore.
*Make a note - the OFG has a distinct propensity for wearing RED.Lots more red in Paris.
Is wearing RED an act of insurrection as one Frenchie commented?
Are all OFGs anarchists?

PS: The only potential argument in favor of the authors' hypothesis is the following:
Non-Africans haplotypes match Neandertals unexpectedly often. An alternative approach to detect gene flow from Neandertals into modern humans is to focus on patterns of variation in present-day humans—blinded to information from the Neandertal genome—in order to identify regions that are the strongest candidates for being derived from Neandertals. If these candidate regions match the Neandertals at a higher rate than is expected by chance, this provides additional evidence for gene flow from Neandertals into modern humans.
We thus identified regions in which there is considerably more diversity outside Africa than inside Africa, as might be expected in regions that have experienced gene flow from Neandertals to non-Africans. We used 1,263,750 Perlegen Class A SNPs, identified in individuals of diverse ancestry (78), and found 13 candidate regions of Neandertal ancestry (SOM Text 17). A prediction of Neandertal-to-modern human gene flow is that DNA sequences that entered the human gene pool from Neandertals will tend to match Neandertal more often than their frequency in the present-day human population. To test this prediction, we identified 166 "tag SNPs" that separate 12 of the haplotype clades in non-Africans (OOA) from the cosmopolitan haplotype clades shared between Africans and non-Africans (COS) and for which we had data from the Neandertals. Overall, the Neandertals match the deep clade unique to non- Africans at 133 of the 166 tag SNPs, and 10 of the 12 regions where tag SNPs occur show an excess of OOA over COS sites. Given that the OOA alleles occur at a frequency of much less than 50% in non-Africans (average of 13%, and all less than 30%) (Table 5), the fact that the candidate regions match the Neandertals in 10 of 12 cases (P = 0.019) suggests that they largely derive from Neandertals. The proportion of matches is also larger than can be explained by contamination, even if all Neandertal data were composed of present-day non-African DNA (P = 0.0025) (SOM Text 17).The problem with the above analysis is in the underlined portion. The deep clade is rather unique to non-Americans of African ancestry, as per reference (78), i.e., a very limited sample of Africans. In short, there is no reason to believe that the identified deep clades matching the Neandertals are really unique to non-Africans, and the pattern can be easily explained by geographical structure within Africa itself.
Although gene flow from Neandertals into modern humans when they first left sub-Saharan Africa seems to be the most parsimonious model compatible with the current data, other scenarios are also possible. For example, we cannot currently rule out a scenario in which the ancestral population of present-day non-Africans was more closely related to Neandertals than the ancestral population of present-day Africans due to ancient substructure within Africa (Fig. 6). If after the divergence of Neandertals there was incomplete genetic homogenization between what were to become the ancestors of non-Africans and Africans, present-day non-Africans would be more closely related to Neandertals than are Africans. In fact, old population substructure in Africa has been suggested based on genetic (81) as well as paleontological data (86).
Whether their model is more parsimonious than Scenario 4 is up to the reader. We know that there is population structure in Africa today, and as the authors note there are reasons why this ought to have been true in the past. So, while Scenario 4 makes up a reasonable xtra assumption (the one I describe in my post), the authors' favored scenario does not explain easily how a species that inhabited Western Eurasia (Neandertals) ended up contributing not-too different amounts of DNA to Europeans and Chinese. So, for the time being, I'm sticking to my guns and saying that the paper has uncovered something important, but probably not Neandertal admixture.
Vol. 328. no. 5979, pp. 710 - 722
A Draft Sequence of the Neandertal Genome
Richard E. Green et al.
Neandertals, the closest evolutionary relatives of present-day humans, lived in large parts of Europe and western Asia before disappearing 30,000 years ago. We present a draft sequence of the Neandertal genome composed of more than 4 billion nucleotides from three individuals. Comparisons of the Neandertal genome to the genomes of five present-day humans from different parts of the world identify a number of genomic regions that may have been affected by positive selection in ancestral modern humans, including genes involved in metabolism and in cognitive and skeletal development. We show that Neandertals shared more genetic variants with present-day humans in Eurasia than with present-day humans in sub-Saharan Africa, suggesting that gene flow from Neandertals into the ancestors of non-Africans occurred before the divergence of Eurasian groups from each other.

Treasury bills are sold at public auctions every week. The 6-month bill is also known as the 26- week bill. Competitive bids at these auctions determine the interest rate paid on each issue. A group of securities dealers, known as primary dealers, are authorized and obligated to submit competitive tenders at Treasury auctions.
Dealers can hold the bills, resell the bills to their clients or trade them with other securities firms. Typically, the New York Fed approves about 20 securities firms to be primary dealers but that number dropped sharply during the 2008 financial crisis as some were merged into other firms or went bankrupt. The Fed has been rebuilding that number regularly and the latest list can be found here.
Since these are public auctions, the Treasury must announce the size, date and time of the auction every week. Six-month bills are announced on Thursday for auction the following Monday and issued (settled) on Thursday. If a Monday is a banking holiday, the bills are auctioned on Tuesday. (Department of the Treasury)
Individual investors can participate in Treasury auctions either through a securities dealer (brokerage firm) or via the Treasury Direct program, which saves on brokerage commissions. But brokers commissions are often nominal (especially with discount brokers), and using a broker does eliminate a lot of paper work and other administrative hassles. Brokers facilitate the purchases and sales of Treasuries in the secondary market, which is handy for buying Treasuries at times other than scheduled auctions or for maturities other than those offered by standard new issues.
Interest rates on Treasury securities are determined in the market; the Federal Reserve does not set them. However, bond investors are sensitive to Federal Reserve policy and thus market rates will mirror policy expectations. Usually, bond market players are forward-looking and this means that interest rates on Treasury securities will move in the direction of Fed policy with a lead. As a result, one is more likely to see rising interest rates on Treasury yields during an expansion (and falling yields during economic slowdowns) in advance of policy changes by the Federal Reserve.
Primer on Treasuries
Treasury securities, Treasuries, U.S. government bonds, T-bonds, T-notes, and T-bills all refer to the same type of security: debt obligations of the United States. Maturity refers to the length of the loan to the government. Treasury bills have maturities from four weeks to 52 weeks. Cash management bills (CMBs) are auctioned occasionally, depending on the Treasury's borrowing needs. These are often for short-term needs such as 12 to 14 days. Since 2008, the Treasury ruled that all securities it issues now have minimum denominations of $100 and must be purchased in increments of $100.
How bills work
Since they mature so quickly, bills are simply sold at a discount to their face value at maturity. The interest is the difference between the purchase price of the security and what the Treasury pays at maturity. For example, if you bought a 3-month bill for $9,800 and received $10,000 at maturity, the interest payment would be $200.
Investment Profile
Treasuries offer a measure of security unmatched by other investments – the U.S. government guarantees the initial investment (the principal) and interest payments. When Treasuries are resold in the secondary market, their prices are often significantly different than their face value since prices in the secondary market fluctuate based on the economic environment, inflation expectations, Federal Reserve policy, and simple forces of supply and demand.

Things to Do in Redwood National Park
Northern California
Spotlight: Redwood National & State Parks
Hugging California's north-western edge, a spectacular network of parks protecting nearly half of the world's coast redwoods, the world's tallest living things, which grow over 350 feet high. But there's more than giant trees in this lush land. Here, majestic (and big) Roosevelt elk graze in grassy prairies. Wild beaches are dotted with weathered driftwood, not a footprint in site, and rivers tumble into the sea. Three state parks—Jedediah Smith, Del Norte (pronounced 'del nort') Coast, and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park—work in partnership with Redwood National Park to protect the region, and all offer a remarkable number of ways to explore, learn and discover.
"Wild beaches are dotted with weathered driftwood, not a footprint in sight, and rivers tumble into the sea."
Remember that all that green is here for a reason: annual rainfall, which normally falls from October through April, averages 60 to 80 inches, so bring rain gear and sturdy, non-slip shoes.
Redwood National Park
Even if you're a pro basketball player, you can't help feeling downright puny in this stunning preserve, where soaring redwoods line up like living skyscrapers. Start your trip at the excellent Thomas H. Kuchel Visitor Center, one mile south of Orick. Of the five visitor centres in Redwood National and State Parks, this one is the largest, with numerous exhibits and a video on redwood ecology, a great bookshop and access to a sandy beach. Next, do a little driving. Start 5 miles north of the small hamlet of Klamath at the Klamath River Overlook, where the freshwater river meets the Pacific Ocean at a huge estuary. Perched 650 feet above the sea, this overlook point is a prime spot for watching migrating grey whales (best time is December to April). Be sure to walk the short and easy path to the lower overlook for dramatic views of crashing surf. Then head south to cruise the Coastal Drive (great for mountain biking too). This 9-mile-long road follows the coastline, passing a radar station that was camouflaged to look like a farmhouse and barn during World War II.
Stop at the picnic area at High Bluff Overlook, then scan the sea for whales, sea lions, brown pelicans and, in spring and summer, thousands of seabirds nesting on offshore rocks. If you want to put some miles on your hiking boots, the Klamath area features a lovely coastal walk, the Yurok Loop, which visits pristine Hidden Beach (1 mile round-trip). Or, for an easy stroll beneath towering redwoods, walk the 1-mile Lady Bird Johnson Grove loop.
Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park
Visiting this 14,000-acre park is like walking through a portal into a world where everything is giant and green—a rainforest where ferns arc over mossy trails in a dappled world of light and shadow. Start with a hike among the ancient redwoods on the 3.2-mile Prairie Creek and Cathedral Tree loop, which begins at Prairie Creek Redwoods' visitor centre. From your first steps, 'lush' is the operative word.
"Visiting this park is like walking through a portal into a world where everything is giant and green."
Moss covers rocks, lichens hang from branches, clover-like redwood sorrel carpets the ground and trees grow to gargantuan size. Be suitably awed and humbled, then step out of the bowers and head over to Elk Prairie, a grassy, golden meadow where you have a great chance of seeing Roosevelt elk. These regal beasts are California's largest land animals, weighing up to 1,100 pounds. Although they seem docile as they languidly munch on grass, it's wise to give them some space, especially big males during the autumn rut. While at Elk Prairie, consider a walk on Trillium Falls Trail, a 2.5-mile/ loop through ancient redwoods.
Next, go for a drive. The paved, 10-mile Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway, the scenic alternative to Highway 101, winds past silent groves that reach for the sky. Pull over for a quick walk to the aptly named Big Tree, and watch for more wild elk herds.
For the more adventurous driver, the unpaved Davison Road travels to Gold Bluffs Beach, a 10-mile stretch of waterfront where 1850s prospectors mined for gold dust in the sand. You can camp on the beach, but don't forget to stake your tent—the wind can be fierce. Continue past Gold Bluffs to the end of the road and Fern Canyon trailhead. Here you have two options: a one-mile loop through spectacular Fern Canyon, or a longer walk on the Coastal Trail past three mini-waterfalls.
Fern Canyon
Located in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, it takes a bit of work to get to the North Coast gem known as Fern Canyon, but it's worth it. From Highway 10 at Orick, drive 10 miles along unpaved Davison Road to this spectacular canyon, a hidden paradise of ferns lining a narrow gorge carved out by Home Creek. Some of the seven different types of ferns clinging to the steep cliffs are ancient species, with ancestry tracing back 325 million years. Living underneath their leafy shade are some eye-catching amphibians, including Pacific giant salamanders, which can measure nearly a foot in length, and northern red-legged frogs.
The trail follows a series of small footbridges (installed in summer) deep into the canyon. Lush, drooping ferns create hanging gardens, miniature waterfalls pour down rock faces and moss wallpapers every surface. The walls grow taller and squeeze tighter as you travel.
Are you experiencing déjà vu? Steven Spielberg filmed a Jurassic Park II scene in this canyon. Every curve and turn leads to another Instagram-it-now (if there were reception) view. Far too soon, the trail curves left and ascends out of the canyon, then loops back to the car park. More than a few Fern Canyon hikers opt to retrace their steps instead of continuing on the loop—it's just too hard to leave this special place.
Insider tips: it's wet here. River sandals or waterproof boots come in handy. The fee to enter the park is $8 per car, and it's best to have it in cash, because it's not always possible to use a credit card.
Enderts Beach
Leave the shady redwood forests behind on this mellow hike to one of Redwood National Park's most scenic beaches. Enderts Beach is a rock-studded, driftwood-laden shoreline perfect for sunset walks or sunny afternoons with a kite and a book. Getting there requires a walk of just under 1 mile on a now-abandoned stretch of the old Coast Highway (it's downhill going in, uphill on the return). About halfway in, you'll pass rustic Nickel Creek Campground, which offers an overnight option for backpackers. A few hundred yards farther, you'll descend to crescent-shape Enderts Beach, perfect for strolling, sand-castling or just watching the wild waves. But the biggest attraction is at low or minus tides which reveal vibrant tide pools on the beach's south end. The pools are rich with sea stars, urchins and giant green anemones.
Insider's Tips: Rangers occasionally lead tidepool walks here; check at park any of the park visitor's centers for details.
Kayaking, Riding & More
While there's plenty of do-it-yourself ways to explore the redwoods, experiencing it with a guide can be a real treat. Redwood Adventures, based in Orick, offers guided hikes, mountain bike rides, river-fishing excursions, kayak trips, horseback rides and more—all exploring well-known treasures and secret stands of big trees, plus other worthwhile destinations along the Humboldt Coast.
"The company also offers more exotic trips, like its zipline adventure through the redwood canopy."
Choose from group or private half- or full-day tours to a variety of national and state park sites, including Fern Canyon and the Tall Trees Grove. Ocean kayaking tours explore the region's rocky shores. Mountain biking tours take beginners on wide dirt roads, while more advanced riders venture out on single-track trails. The company also offers more exotic trips, like its zip line adventure through the redwood canopy, a beginning rock climbing and abseiling class and year-round birding tours. It also has a handful of well-appointed housekeeping cabins available for rent at Elk Meadow; don't be surprised if you wake up to Roosevelt elk grazing outside your front door.
In summer, time your visit to join a park guide to paddle down the Smith River, a designated Wild & Scenic river and the state's largest free-flowing river system. The easy, 3.5-mile paddle is free (including kayak, paddles and other gear) and doesn't require any experience, though a few foamy bits of gentle (Class I and II) rapids should elicit a "woo-hoo!" or two. Along the way your guide will explain the region's unique geology, and how it contributes to the immense size of the region's coast redwoods.
The trip ends at the Jedediah Smith River Day-Use area, and from there you simply walk back to your car in Hiouchi, about half a mile away. It's an adventure you'll never forget.
Insider's Tip: Sign up in person at the Hiouchi Information Center up to two days beforehand. Tours are usually held on Fridays and Saturdays starting at 11:30 a.m. All participants must be at least 10 years old and able to swim in moving water.
Camping in the Redwoods
Pitch your tent in the shadows of towering redwoods at Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, north-east of Crescent City. Its 86-site developed campground sits beside the emerald Smith River in a glade lush with ferns and old-growth trees. You can walk from your tent to the 340-foot-tall Stout Tree and its mammoth brethren, or go for a drive on spectacular Howland Hill Road, a 10-mile winding dirt road through old-growth redwoods. Further south at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park near Orick, choose a site along windswept Gold Bluffs Beach or in the more developed (and wind-sheltered) Elk Prairie area. Don't be surprised if a huge Roosevelt elk walks right past your tent. Gold Bluffs Beach has 26 first-come, first-serve sites; Elk Prairie's 75 sites can be reserved in advance. And a few miles south of Crescent City at Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, 145 sites are found amid a second-growth forest of redwoods and alders near Mill Creek. There are also private campgrounds in the region.
If you're a camper who craves amenities like showers and flush toilets, your best bets are any of these state park campgrounds. If you prefer seclusion to amenities, Redwood National Park provides a handful of backpacking campgrounds, most requiring relatively short hikes of less than three miles.
Insider's Tip: These camps are much more rustic; you'll need to supply your own water and pack out your rubbish.
This lively seaport town, the largest coastal city between San Francisco and Portland, Oregon, has a split personality charm: a sense of history in the handsomely restored, Victorian era Old Town district, a still working seaport where crusty fishing boats chug in and out of a protected harbour, logging trucks rumbling through town, and an eco conscious college vibe thanks to Humboldt State, in the nearby town of Arcata. Hundreds of ornate 19th century homes, like the Carson Mansion, a paragon of Queen Anne architecture now housing a private club at the end of Second Street, reflect the prosperity of Eureka's formative years, when lumber was king. The entire city is a state historic landmark, a captivating mix of nature and culture with a small town feel.
Start your visit on the waterfront, where a pretty esplanade provides nice views of the harbour and adjacent Humboldt Bay. Visit the small maritime museum, then board the MV Madaket, a snug ferryboat plying the bay since 1910, for 75 minute guided cruise. In adjacent Old Town, make a beeline for the outstanding Eureka Visitors Center, where you can sample local wines, beers and oysters, ask for tips on nearby galleries, gift shops and restaurants, and book guided tours and adventures.
Tall Trees Grove
This redwood grove's name is a gross understatement. The trees here are not just tall but mind-bogglingly immense, towering as high as 379 feet—taller than a 35-storey building. To visit this special place, you must obtain a free permit at the Kuchel Visitor Center and then drive about 45 minutes to the Tall Trees trailhead, but it's worth the trouble. The Park Service limits the number of cars because the access road is narrow, but that just means more solitude for you. From the trailhead, it's a 1.3-mile hike downhill to the grove, which is set on a moist floodplain alongside Redwood Creek. All the trees are behemoths, but the 368-foot Libby Tree commands attention because it was long considered the tallest tree in the world. It lost its title when a 379-foot-tall tree was found in 2006. The location of the 'new' tallest tree has been kept secret, but it's somewhere in this watershed. Several side trails lead out of the big trees to the gravel banks of Redwood Creek, a fine place to relax with a book in the summer months. Be sure to save energy for the uphill hike back to your car.
Crescent City
Only 20 miles south of Oregon, sea-faring Crescent City is home to the northernmost of California's lighthouse stations. Overlooking the town's harbour, the 1856 Battery Point Lighthouse, built with 22-inch-thick slabs of granite, sits on a tiny island that can only be reached on foot at low tide. When the water recedes, visitors walk across the causeway, climb the narrow spiral staircase to the lamp room, then crawl up a ladder and through a trap door for a spectacular 360-degree view. A few miles away is Crescent City's other lighthouse at St. George Reef, 6 miles offshore. It was built after the 1865 shipwreck of the Brother Jonathan, which carried passengers and rumoured to hold 1.5 tons of gold coins and bullion, much of which has never been recovered. See the lighthouse from the public walking trails along the bluffs at Point St. George. Its original first-order Fresnel lens can be viewed at the Del Norte County Main Museum.
After getting your fill of lighthouses, wander the Crescent City waterfront and marvel at how this city was entirely rebuilt after a devastating tsunami in 1964 (you'll see tsunami warning signs all over town). At Ocean World aquarium, the sea lions balance balls and play catch with visitors, while at the Northcoast Marine Mammal Center, injured elephant seals and sea lions get some TLC and healing time before being released back to the wild. Call ahead to find out the pinnipeds' feeding time, the most interesting time to visit. On the town's west end is ocean front Pebble Beach Drive with easy access to Pebble Beach, a great place to search for agates and other semi-precious gemstones.
The hamlet of Trinidad with its picture-perfect headlands sits on a bluff overlooking the harbour at Trinidad Bay. It's all about the sea here: Hike to the top of Trinidad Head to watch for whales, go tide-pooling at Indian Beach or touch the starfish at Humboldt State University's Marine Lab. Trinidad State Beach is a well-known surfing spot while broad and sandy Moonstone Beach is favoured by beachcombers. The seafood market at Katy's Smokehouse sells whatever fresh catch the fishermen have hauled in, plus a variety of smoked fish. Trinidad was the site of the first human settlement on California's north coast, the Yurok Indian village of Tsurai. This community was 'discovered' by Spanish explorers in 1775, but it had probably existed for at least 1,000 years before.
Insider's Tip:Check out the reconstructed Yurok Village at Patrick's Point State Park, which is also a great spot for camping and hiking.
Wild North Coast
Famous for grand-dame Victorians, classic cable cars, dynamic diversity, trend-defining, Michelin-starred cuisine, a beautiful waterfront, and a soaring crimson bridge, San Francisco, aka the "City by the Bay", truly has it all and stands...
Crescent City is home to California's northernmost lighthouse stations. The 1856 Battery Point Lighthouse...

According to the December jobs report, U.S. employers added 155,000 jobs in December, a steady gain that shows hiring held up during the tense negotiations to resolve the fiscal cliff.
The solid job growth wasn't enough to push down the unemployment rate, which stayed 7.8 percent last month, the Labor Department said Friday. The rate for November was revised up from an initially reported 7.7 percent.
Stock futures inched higher after the report was released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time.
Robust hiring in manufacturing and construction fueled the December job gains. Construction firms added 30,000, the most in 15 months. That increase likely reflected hiring needed to rebuild after Superstorm Sandy and also gains in home building that have contributed to a housing recovery.
Manufacturers added 25,000 jobs, the most in nine months.
Even with the gains, hiring isn't strong enough to quickly reduce still-high unemployment. For 2012, employers added 1.84 million jobs, an average of 153,000 jobs a month, roughly matching the job totals for 2011.
But the stable hiring last month shows that employers didn't panic during the high-stakes talks between Congress and the White House over tax increases and spending cuts that weren't resolved until New Year's.
That's an encouraging sign for the coming months, because an even bigger federal budget showdown is looming. The government must increase its $16.4 trillion borrowing limit by around late February or risk defaulting on its debt. Republicans will likely demand deep spending cuts as the price of raising the debt limit.
December jobs report shows economy is improving
Friday's December jobs report did point to some weakness in the job market. For example, the number of unemployed actually rose 164,000 to 12.2 million. The unemployment figures come from a survey of households; the number of jobs that were added each month comes from a separate survey of businesses.
Still, the economy is improving. Layoffs are declining. And the number of people who sought unemployment aid in the past month is near a four-year low.
The December jobs report showed that hourly pay is staying slightly ahead of inflation. Hourly wages rose 7 cents to $23.73, a 2.1 percent increase compared with a year earlier. Inflation rose 1.8 percent over the same period.
The report also indicates that the Hispanic unemployment rate remains higher than the national average at 9.6 percent, down from 9.9 percent in November.
The once-depressed housing market is recovering. Companies ordered more long-lasting manufactured goods in November, a sign that they're investing more in equipment and software. And Americans spent more in November. Consumer spending drives nearly 70 percent of economic growth.
Manufacturing is getting a boost from the best auto sales in five years. Car sales jumped 13 percent in 2012 to 14.5 million. And Americans spent more at the tail end of the holiday shopping season, boosting overall sales that had slumped earlier in the crucial two-month period.

I am aware of the precept against the consumption of mind altering substances. In fact, I understand why this is "good" dharma. Even a beer or two does a pretty good job of clouding my mind. But, I have to admit I enjoy a glass of wine or a pint of beer --- both for the flavor and the relaxing effects.
Right now as I type this I'm in a rather gloomy mood and about to pour a second drink, as I listen to sad music. I know this will not improve my mood, in fact I rather enjoy wallowing in this melancholy stew.
My question is not about whether or not this is breaking the precepts, I think these are questions best answered by ourselves. I suspect that I am a precept breaker (not just on this one, lol). What I am questioning is if this attachment is fundamentally an attachment to the self visa a vi an attachment to sense pleasures. Not so much looking for answers, just feeling the need to air my dirty laundry.

Music Together® Curriculum
The Music Together curriculum includes a mix of original songs and traditional tunes from the folk, jazz, and world music traditions in a variety of tonalities and meters. By presenting a range of musical styles from lyrical to blues, from folk to boogie, Music Together provides children with a rich music experience that stimulates and supports their growing music skills and understanding.
Music Together's nine song collections—each identified by its own color, instrument name, and graphic—are presented in a three-year cycle of three semesters per year. There are also three summer collections with their own color and instrument name; these are compilations of the main nine collections.
The song collections are non-sequential, so families may join at any semester and attend class for three full years before cycling back to re-experience the collections from their growing children's ever-changing perspectives. Because music learning is cumulative, with children reaping developmental benefits that build over time, we encourage their participation for as many years as possible from infancy through kindergarten.
Music Together songs have outstanding arrangements that are fun, sophisticated, and loved by children and grownups alike. The music is pitched in just the right range for children's voices and includes songs, rhythmic rhymes, tonal and rhythm patterns, and instrumental play-alongs. All of the songs are suitable for mixed-age groups, perfect for childcare centers or families with children of different ages.
Each semester, families receive a CD, along with an illustrated songbook full of music-making ideas and an access code for the Hello Everybody app. In addition, families new to the program receive the booklet Music and Your Child, a guide for parents and caregivers.

Bearded Collie Dogs can make good pets in North Dakota if they match your IifestyIe. The Bearded Collie, or Beardie, as they are affectionately nicknamed, is a medium sized, happy pooch. Beardies are wonderful for households with children. Bearded Collies do not make good guard dogs. Beardies respond well to training but they have a mind of their own. Bearded Collies are very sociable and need to be with people. Beardies are natural herders who don't mind various weather conditions. They make great outside dogs and are best suited to farms or homes with a good sized yard.

In today's world, where the people are already facing a pandemic, they choose to shop their desired products online as they find it safe and secure as compared to the offline shops or local vendors.
While shopping online, people get rid of large queues and waiting lists on the offline store.
With all these above-mentioned factors, the online shopping market is becoming trendy and very popular among the people.
These days, an uncountable no. of online shopping websites are coming on the internet to provide all kinds of stuff including clothes, home & kitchen appliances, electronic goods, designer jewellery, Sport wears, games accessories and everything needful and required for the mankind.
"We have posted so many articles on scam sites, and if you want to know about these website, click here: "Uncategorized"
Dear readers, in this article, we are providing you with a detailed review of Moxidress.com. Before making any deal with Moxidress, please read our full article and valuable points that we are going to provide you.
Once you get familiar with all the points, you can decide whether to deal with Moxidress or not.
Important points to keep in mind while dealing with Moxidress.com:
Payment Gateway:
All the genuine websites around the world give many payment options including COD, Credit/ debit cards, digital wallets, etc.
Those who have an intention to rob the money online won't give you many options and ask the user to pay through credit card and PayPal only.
Bulk Buying:
The legit websites keep some restrictions on buyers and do not allow to buy more than 10 pieces of a single item. If any online store is giving unlimited buying options, that can be a trap.
Fake Introduction:
Before buying from any online store, please check the 'about us' page as many online scammers do not explain their information on the website properly. A misleading 'about us' page is always used by fake websites. Do not forget to read the full 'about us' page ever, if the website is new and you are visiting there the first time.
Free dispatching:
If any online store claims to dispatch the product free worldwide or at a very low cost, it is near to impossible and the website is not trustworthy. Always keep away from such types of websites.
Hiding the info:
Whiling making deal with any website, if you find it doubtful, you can check their WHOIS info online. Usually, the scammers hide their information on WHOIS detail. If you cannot get their details, leave the website and keep your hard-earned money safe.
Contact details and customer support:
The scam websites do not provide any contact details (email, phone numbers, communication address). Many websites provide all the wrong contact details. Before making any payments, do not forget to make sure the emails and phone numbers are working otherwise you would not be able to call or contact anyone afterward.
Attractive and massive discount:
People tend to fall on attractive discount offers and this is where the scammers take advantage. If any online store is giving enormous discount options, do not just opt it and pay for it. Please check the same product on a few other websites also and compare the prices. If the price range has too many differences, leave the website, it must be a fake store. Mostly scam sites provide free coupon codes to the users like 'buy one get more' and 'buy two and get two free'. Generally, these fake coupon codes are the same on every product available on the store.
Exchange and Return Policy:
The genuine websites always mention their exchange and return policy on their official pages. Scam sites do not properly mention their policies regarding the exchange and return. Most of the buyers get a broken or different product from such types of stores.
Social Advertisement:
Most of the scam sites do not use social media platforms to gain popularity and advertise their products. Now a day's social media is playing a vital role in advertising and selling the product online. Few scam sites provide their social media icons on the webpage but those icons are not clickable and do not redirect to any social media platform.
Fake images:
Mostly scam sites use fake or copied models images to showcase their product. If you are not able to see the model's faces while showing the product, that's a scam for sure. All the genuine websites show the full model images because they pay to them.
Domain Registration:
If the website which you are dealing with, is newly created, make sure to check the domain registration date. All the scam sites are generally not so old and do not last long.
Product Description:
Those who have the intention to scam people online, won't make much of effort to add the real details for every product. Usually, scammers provide similar information about all the available products.
Fake product Reviews:
Scam websites publish all the fake product reviews and a 5-star rating on the reviews section. On fake websites, you can find the same reviews and comment on multiple products.
"We have a portal related Facebook page where we have shared so many articles about fraudulent websites. And if you want to learn more about these scam sites then you can visit our Facebook page by clicking on the link we have provided: Facebook page."
Our Recommendation:
Dear readers, we have explained all the needful points to secure you from online fraud. If you do not want to lose your hard-earned money, please keep these valuable points on your mind while shopping or making any deal online.
If you have any queries or suggestions, please drop a comment on our comment section below. We would love to hear from you.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- The wraps came off Arkansas' largest ever economic development project Tuesday as Gov. Mike Beebe unveiled plans for a $1.1 billion steel mill along the Mississippi River that private investors are poised to build -- so long as legislators approve millions in startup funding.
Big River Steel, LLC, would employ 525 people at a new plant near Osceola if legislators approve $125 million in bond financing to be repaid over 20 years. If the Legislature rejects the pact, another state is poised to step in, Arkansas' economic development chief said, without specifying the state.
Mississippi County was hit hard after an Air Force base closed in the 1990s, and about one-third of its residents currently live in poverty. The mill's average salary would be $75,000 — about double the state average — and it would turn Mississippi County into the second-largest steel producing county in the country, Beebe said.
"It is an event that's going to bring a struggling Delta county out of the doldrums," Osceola Mayor Dickie Kennemore said.
The facility will take scrap metal and reduce it back to steel, according to Arkansas Economic Development Director Grant Tennille. Nucor Corp. already operates a similar mill in Blytheville, and since it opened in 1988, Mississippi County has seen its unemployment rate cut in half.
"This could do exactly the same thing again and then some," Beebe said at a news conference unveiling the plant.
The majority of the $125 million Beebe is proposing — $75 million — would be a grant to Blue River Steel for startup costs associated with building the facility. The remaining $50 million would be a loan the company would have to repay.
Arkansas' total net cost of repaying the bonds would be about $5.1 million per year over 20 years, based on an estimated 3.7 or 3.8 percent interest rate, according to economic development officials.
Arkansas voters in 2004 gave legislators authority to borrow money for economic development after narrowly missing out on a Toyota truck plant that was eventually built in San Antonio, Texas.
The plant will make steel for auto, oil and gas and electrical energy industries. Its site is about 40 miles north of Memphis, Tenn., along the Mississippi River, a railroad line and Interstate 55. A major transport hub is 30 miles away in Marion, where goods can be transported by barge, train or truck.
"Arkansas' geographic location in the heart of the markets we intend to serve, the state's well-developed transportation infrastructure as well as the availability of reliable electrical power and the 'can do attitude' of the government officials in Little Rock, Mississippi County and Osceola make Arkansas a great place for Big River Steel to make its investment," Big River Steel CEO John Correnti said in a statement.
As part of the incentive program, state officials will pay to stabilize the loose, fine soil beneath the plant.
Correnti, a former Nucor executive, has had success developing steel operations in the past, including the construction of a $650 million Severstal steel mill that opened in 2007 in Lowndes County, Miss. But some of his other recent projects have failed — a steel rebar facility in Mississippi and silicon projects in Ohio and North Carolina.
Tennille, the economic development director, said that his team looked at those previous ventures but are confident that the Arkansas project will succeed.
"When you're dealing with somebody who does as many deals as he has, there will always be things that are bigger successes than others," Tennille said. "We really feel that in terms of building steel mills there is nobody better than John Correnti."
Legislative leaders said Tuesday that they looked forward to reviewing the project.
Senate President Michael Lamoureux said the Legislature will likely hire an outside consultant.
"It's a major state investment, so it's just doing the proper amount of due diligence and making sure it's a good value," he said. "You're essentially giving state money or using the state to loan money to a private entity, so you have to make sure that's a good value there."
House Speaker Davy Carter said that he was excited about the long-term possibilities the deal presents, but reserved judgment on the bond offering until he has more information.
"This is inning 2 of a nine-inning baseball game and the House and Senate has a lot of work to do in a short period of time," he said. "We're going to go through the process and do our homework."
Associated Press writer Jack Elliott in Jackson, Miss., contributed to this report.
