So, I replanted my rose of Sharon and it is not doing that great but it is still holding on. There was a heat wave so I am thinking that that really did not help it at all. I am hoping that will a little tender loving care that it will rejuvenate. Only time will tell I suppose. It is a difficult thing to successfully replant big plants especially this time of year.

Here is a great gift…especially for that young child that would really like to garden. Herbs in a window is a nice idea and a great gift to give. I did this a few years back and had great success with it. My mother in law actually has a great window that is perfect for things like this. And it is almost always in the sun because of the way her house is facing. Kids love these and you can make some great herbs to use for your dishes too…basil and parsley are great for those pasta dishes! Filed under: Flowers Comments: None |

Here is a great new 2007 variety that actually was a 2007 All-America Selection winner. It has 2 1/2 inch iridescent pink blooms with white cheats and yellowing throats…very pretty. And this variety need no deadheading! It has a stretch of up to 3 feet with continuous flowers. T his makes it your perfect selection for hanging plants or flowers for your window boxes. It does spread vigorously so it chokes out weeks…yeah! It is best in full sun, well-drained soil. Source: Jung Seed Co. Filed under: Flowers Comments: None |

The beer traps really good if you husband will spare you a beer for your garden You just have to make sure that you design it correctly. My first try…I attracted slugs but I didn't trap them! AH!! Make sure that the beer is around 5 inches deep and 1 inch below the top of the trap so that when the stupid slugs reach up to get out they fall in.

If you could be any flower what flower would you be? I think I would be a daisy. it is so simple yet so sweet. I just love daisy's. However carnations are my favorite flower. I love all sorts of colors for this flower. The thing I love about this flower is that it lasts for a few weeks before it starts to look not so good in the vase. So what flower would you be?

If you are disgusted by the costs of the reed diffusers that are out there today…then just make your own. Get your own jar and the reeds are very inexpensive. I can be a lot of fun to…because you can make the fragrance exactly the way that you would like it. Filed under: Flowers Comments: None |

Here is a tip for you people that love to have flowers in your home but can not maintain them so you get the artificial kind. I actually have a few artificial arrangements in my place and I really like them. I prefer the fresh real flowers but these last a lot longer. However they do get quite dusty and dirty at times. So, what you do is take a bag and fill it with water and 1/4 cup of salt or put it in a bowl. Then put the flowers in and shake it around in the bag or swish it around in the bowl and it will coming out looking as good as the day you bought it!

Personally I think the best and most "Friendly Fence" is the Rose of Sharon. They come in all sorts of varieties too. You can usually find them in your local nurseries but you can also order them online or through flowering magazines. Just be sure if you order it online there is a 1 year guarantee…and be sure to keep that label and not to loose it. I guarantee that if you get 20 plants that 10 of them will not have made it and you can get replacements if this does happen! Filed under: Flowers Comments: None |

If you are having a problem with your fungal sport plant disease such as powdery mildew – try mixing some baking soda with water and spraying it on the leaf surface…this ways it makes the fungal sports unable to actually infect the plant…therefor you don't have the plant disease. Not to mention this is a lot healthier for the environment and a lot cheaper than all the other products that sometimes really don't work! 1 tablespoon of baking soda , 1 teaspoon of dish soap, 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and 1 gallon of water. Make sure you test this on a small area – you don't want to burn the plant if it is a sensitive plant! Filed under: Flowers andGardening Tips andLawn Care Comments: None |

There is hope that spring will be here sooner than we know it….but just not soon enough! I saw a crocus…a lone crocus peeking through the snow today. I felt kind of bad for it because the weather has been unseasonably warm the last few days which is why it must have been tricked into blooming. But it is a nice sign that spring is coming. That is the only reason I like winter because we have spring to look forward to…I don't like the fall…there is just cold weather ahead for that one! Filed under: Flowers Comments: 1 Comment |

You have to be sure to order your flowers or trees from places that know when to ship them. All of these catologs that you may get in the mail have really great prices and they have pictures of flowers that look fabulous but out of the dozen that you get at that great price only 2 usually survive. I once ordered some flowers thinking that they would ship them when the time was right but they shipped them in January…you can not plant flowers when there is snow on the ground! Just be sure you read their shipping policies. Filed under: Flowers Comments: None |

I just love it when a little glimpse of spring shows even though there are so many weeks and even months before the spring actually comes! But that crocus that shows up through the snow is just so nice and I just love it. I actually got an order in today of things I had ordered and thought they would send them at the appropriate time…nope and now I have to plant them with snow on the ground…that is just not going to work!

I personally love to grow my own herbs and I think that many of them have great healing properties such as Echinacea. Many doctors frown upon herbs and herbal remedies but I have to wonder if it is because of selfish and money motivated reasons. I think that herbs are amazing if they are used properly and that they have properties modern man-made medicines may not have. Not to mention that many medicines have these herbs in them. They are now saying that this herb may not help your colds but I disagree. I think that this herb could help a cold but many herbs are best at preventing things. I think that herbs and herbal teas and tinctures are best for those preventative methods. Filed under: Flowers andFruits and Vegetables Comments: None |

I love to get flowers and a nice flower arrangement is welcomed for any occasion or even no occasion at all. I think getting flowers for no reason at alk is the best time to get and give flowers. It is not because someone felt as though they had to give you something but rather because they wanted to give you something. There are so many flower arrangements you can get now too…for birthdays, holidays, special occasions, thank you's, get better…you name it and they have some sort of flower arrangement to accommodate for you to make it work for you situation. 1-800-Flowers is the site I most use because it is convenient and I have yet to have a problem with them and the people that they get to deliver the flowers. Sometimes you get flowers that are all wilted already from other companies…so far no problems with this company. And I like to do this sort of thing online because I just do not like to travel to go and order something to be delivered. it is just so much more convenient and actually it cost less than if I were to drive to my local florist and order what i want through them. And with the gas prices so high…ordering online is that much better! Filed under: Flowers Comments: None |

It is just so much more cost efficient to get bulk wedding flowers from Fifty Flowers. They have quality flowers that are at much better prices…lower than wholesale prices. And when it comes to flowers at your wedding you want to make sure that you get hte very best. you do not want to get flowers that are brown and wilting as soon as you get them. And they ill make sure that you have them at the hotel, restaurant or the location of your choice for your prom, wedding or special occasion. If this is something that interests you then check out their site for more information. You don't have to overspend on the flowers when you can get them there! Filed under: Flowers Comments: None |

Whether you are ordering Valentine flowers in Toronto or out of New York it is the quality of flowers that is the most important and how fast they can get to where you want them sent. Toronto flowers delivery can be done quickly, efficiently and with the best quality flowers at very competitive prices from Tidy's Flowers. And personally I think that there is nothing nicer than getting Valentine's day flowers. Sure you kinda expect it from your loved one but none the less…it is just really nice to get. And everyone pretty much feels that way which is why you want to make and book your order now so that you are sure that your flowers will be able to be delivered. And this company has been around for 130 years so you know that they have a great reputation as well as being reliable to be around that long. They have a great selection also…everything from that simple and elegant single rose to a beautiful bouquet flower arrangement in a nice vase to be presented in. My favorite being the Lasting Romance Bouquet…it is exquisite!! And they have flowers for all occasions not just Valentine's day so keep them in mind year round when you need to order flowers.

Who does not love to get flowers…whether it be on their birthday or a holiday or just for no reason at all. The thing is that most people order their flowers to have them delivered right online. You really want to make sure that you are dealing with a reliable company that will be help you and send you those quality flowers that expect and that should be delivered. Believe it or not these days there is something and someone called a Florist Detective than can help you out with florist related scams because apparently it happens all of the time. There is also a Real Florists Blog where you can read up on articles and concerns that florists and customers are making. I was actually just reading a Letter to the FTC about 1800 Flowers and it was very interesting to say the least. It was sent by a group of very concerned florists to the FTC that are stating the 1-800 Flowers is deceiving their customers within their advertising. There is even a petition that you can sign to help support them. I think it is horrible that this company is trying to trick their customers into thinking that they are getting something when in actuality they are really not. It is wrong and as a consumer I will be thinking twice about purchasing my holiday flowers with them this holiday season. I will be looking and ordering elsewhere for sure!

There is nothing like fresh flowers to put on the Thanksgiving table. But if you can not get that then an artificial flower centerpiece is always nice too. But You can just head out tot he local market and get pretty fall collored flowers for the table. It just makes things so much nicer. Or get that beautiful center piece and give it to your parents afterwards. Or if you are going some where for dinner then this would make for a great gift to bring if you don't want to bring wine.

What are your favorite autumn plants…Have you ever seen an oakleaf hydrangea…it is just absolutely beautiful. The colors on this plant are just simply gorgeous…from the greens, oranges, yellows and reds. It is just so incredibly pretty and it is a must have in anyones fall garden. Sure there are the chysanthimums but this is really nice. I love oak trees to begin with because of the beautiful foliage but to have it in this form is really nice!

Here is a great kid friendly flower…the sunflower. It is an annual flower so you have to plant it every year but you want to make sure that you plant it after the last frost in the Spring so that it will survive. The birds love this flower also and they can grow so tall…kids just love it. And some of the sunflowers you can get can be red if you prefer them instead of yellow. Kids just love to stand next to it…she which one is taller the flower or the kid! This is an easy annual to have success with! Filed under: Flowers Comments: None |

-- at home.
Joining us now to talk about all this and how to invest in America is hard deep while you.
CEO of motif investing.
Our deep thank you for being -- -- okay first before we talk about the United States let's talk a little bit quickly about have.
You get to this so now you come up with is an idea this -- United States.
You create -- found a rhythm to go through all the companies in the market to figure out which companies that only revenue in the US are actually doing OK right.
Right and what we also do is we look at companies that have consistently grown both revenues.
And profits by at least 8% a year over the last three years.
Okay and then you come up with this list and for your all American motif you have forty companies.
That one -- -- percent of their revenue comes.
From people here in the US right from us revenue and income has -- 08% over the last three years that's pretty darn good.
Yet these are the fast this largest growing companies American companies that are entirely focused on.
By the US market they include consumer companies like Ross Stores.
-- courts from Dollar General.
They include health care companies like -- -- on that's up almost 200% for the year.
It includes the some financial local financial companies like first republic back energy companies like continental resources and let's -- in some.
American real estate like American agency capital.
Sure and you my favorites are long arsons is on the list tip.
OK so now he got -- forty list and I want you -- he's selling right off for a whopping ten -- -- Elvis.
What we do is we create an idea index and then we put it twenty stocks the top twenty.
Fastest growing largest growing companies in America we put them it's what we call -- -- these baskets that you referred to earlier are we market cap wait them and we allow you to buy.
All twenty stocks you can put as little as 250 dollars you can put as much as a 100000 dollars.
It'll cost you 995.
The cost of the single stock transactions so I'm finally idea right because now the stocks -- my portfolio.
If I -- and trade him it is that's my problem not yours and you and I are done right.
-- exactly we we will offer and way to update that's if you wanted to look next year at the next kept finding.
But you can change it you're in control you're running your own money.
And you have a good visibility and watch your own which is very different than some of the funds and mutual funds ETS out there you don't really know what they're holding.
Now what you see is actually -- young.
And they can't beat the market anyway those mutual funds.
It's a good -- and you have a bunch of different motifs of people should check out the website.
And and find a trend that they're interested in hard -- a lot while I thank you so much -- us.

November child support payments to be delayed
Elizabeth Hyde, director of the Lassen County Department of Child Support Services, said the reason why L.A.'s conversion is going to affect child payments across the state is because the entire system dealing with the payments is essentially a large scale, interconnected computer network.
"The state disbursement unit is all tied in like a huge computer program," Hyde said. "So when the state enforcement system goes down, the State Disbursement Unit also goes down."
Hyde said the conversion process for most counties to the State Child Support System takes about a weekend. It usually has little to no effect on the rest of the system when this happens. Hyde said that because such a large portion of the state's population resides in L.A. County, it will take more time.
Since the system is so heavily integrated, the SCSS will have limited to no access from Oct. 31-Nov. 11. Hyde said this might also include a loss of phone support, including the Lassen County office. She said the complete shutdown of the system is also to help prevent a complete crash of the system, which could be catastrophic. Hyde said the Lassen County office would keep regular office hours during that time. People who use a service to receive their money without a check, such as direct deposit, will receive their money faster than those who receive checks. Hyde said checks would take 5-7 days longer, as they will have to go through the mail.
Hyde explained that the positive side of this massive conversion is that L.A. County is the last one to be brought onto the system. She said in her report to the county board that hopefully this will mean better and more efficient child support cases for both custodial and non-custodial parents.
"Most of the benefits are actually going to be to the non-custodial parents," Hyde said. "Because historically, if the parent that has the child moves from county to county, then different cases have been opened up in every one of those counties. With the statewide system, then you can bring those cases back together."
She said with this system, they could reduce the number of cases involving child support that's owed that's never paid, which Hyde referred to as rears.
Hyde explained that anyone receiving child support money out of L.A. will have to wait two weeks before receiving money, whereas everywhere else will only have to wait about five days. Hyde said her department has worked hard to get the word out about the delay, particularly because of the impact around the holidays.
Hyde explained that this is one of the most ambitious undertakings in her 25 years with the SCSS, and it will eventually help the system work more smoothly.

Perhaps just reviewing this, is a "neggable" offence, but it wasn't me. Nice review though, this looks like a good suicide album.
Album Rating: 1.5I just have a huge pet peeve on people that just go around negging every damn thing with no stated reasons
Ice Cream, and it's not about the desert. should be dessert
Ice Cream, and it's not about the desert.
looks like you found your reason
I've actually heard that Jeffree Star is purposefully making his music this unbearably shitty, knowing full well that all the scene kids would buy his crap just because of his looks. That way, he gets all the scene kids money for doing something that really took no effort, and he can laugh all the way to the bank. At least, that's what I heard.
Album Rating: 1.5sure but don't you think he would make a ton more money if he was actually good?
^^ Yeah, but than it wouldn't be hilariously pathetic. It just wouldn't be the same. Second of all, he would actually have to have talent to do that.
Album Rating: 1.5on that note.... HOW is this selling? as in numbers
Scene kids are curious creatures. They are the "scene" that produced brokenCYDE, y'know.
Scene kids should be rounded up and burned. It would solve many problems.
but then our world would be colourless!Digging: Das EFX - Dead Serious
Digging: Das EFX - Dead Serious

yeah yeah Emim, i saw your shoutbox post last night. this dude's been commenting left, right, and center.

Patch-pocketed, shark-patterned, and crest-emblazoned sports jackets in gabardine, seersucker, and cotton madras, most worn with shorts that hit just above the knee.

A day of Bungee (Moving RIA development to the web)
I'm an advisor to Bungee Labs and am spending the day with the company (along with other advisors from Sun, Amazon, etc.). I'm not a developer myself, and so focus more on the community-building activities of the company, but they mentioned an incident at the eBay Developers Conference that I found fascinating.
eBay developed a new eBay Shopping Web Services WSDL. They stopped by the Bungee Labs booth and asked what the company could do with it.
By dragging and dropping components and objects, [Bungee] had a simple application running in minutes. The application had an input field to specify a search query. When you clicked the search button, the query results (item title, gallery URL, View Item URL, etc.) were displayed on the form.
Start to finish, this all took less than 20 minutes. Not bad for working with a new API. And, as [Bungee] pointed out, we never left the web browser!… Read more

Let's see: A massive hurricane, Halloween, and an election in one week. I don't think Louis C.K. and the SNL cast will be wanting for material when writing for Saturday's show.
Louis C.K., Bill Hader and Bobby Moynihan star in these promos that touch on all three of the above subjects. They're pretty funny, but more than anything, they've got us excited for what may be one of those old-school, must-watch episodes of SNL. A lot of stuff ripe for parody—from the continued idiocy of the presidential campaigns to Mayor Bloomberg's sign language lady—has happened over the last couple of weeks. And the best comedian in the game will be there to star.

News From OilFiredUp
EA issues Theft Warning to Heating Oil Users
7th April 2011
Criminals who target oil tanks do not only leave homeowners out of pocket, they can also leave behind a large clean-up operation and environmental damage. To reduce this risk, the Environment Agency is working with police forces in Lincolnshire and Leicestershire to prevent pollution as a result of thefts from heating oil tanks.
Shaun Rowson, Groundwater and Contaminated Land Team Leader says, "We are aware there has been an increase in the number of thefts from heating oil tanks across Lincolnshire. The police advise owners to be aware of this sort of crime, look out for one another and use deterrents. This is all useful advice.
"However, the one thing that is often overlooked, particularly where the theft of oil has resulted in damage to a tank, is the potential environmental impact. A leaking oil tank can contaminate surface water and groundwater and the cost of investigating and clean up can run into thousands of pounds."
In a bid to protect water resources, the Environment Agency, as part of the Government Agency Intelligence Network, requested that police ask victims of oil tank theft to contact its officers.
Shaun says, "This partnership approach is working well and both Lincolnshire and Leicestershire police forces are now asking victims of oil theft to contact us.
"Being able to act quickly is vital to stop oil pollution spreading and, potentially, reaching important underground water supplies. We would therefore urge people to contact us as quickly as possible if they think there is any risk of pollution as a result of oil theft. This will help to minimise the potential impact on the environment, the public and the homeowner."
In addition to reporting suspected leaks as a result of theft, homeowners should also inspect their oil storage tanks regularly. Poorly maintained tanks are a common cause of pollution and spilled oil damages plants and wildlife and can make soil infertile, destroying habitats.
The Environment Agency suggests homeowners should take the following action to ensure their oil tanks are safe for use.
- Site tanks as far away as possible from drains, streams and ponds.
- Inspect tanks, pipes and other equipment for leaks, damage and interference once a week.
- Check home insurance - loss of oil or pollution clean-up costs may not be covered.
- Always notify the Environment Agency and insurers immediately in the event of a spill or suspected spill.
In addition, when re-filling the tank, the Environment Agency claims it is important the delivery is supervised and the amount of oil being used recorded.This means leaks can be identified quickly, minimising environmental damage and financial costs. Underground feed lines can leak and they can only be identified before major contamination occurs by checking there is no excessive use.

Michael Hoberman, a Professor at Fitchburg State University, will read from & discuss his new book New Israel/New England: Jews and Puritans in Early America. (UMass Press, Oct. 2011)
This reading will take place on Sunday, January, 22, 2012 at 2:00 PM at the Old Firehouse (7 Sugarloaf St.) in South Deerfield Center.
It is co-sponsored by the Jewish Historical Society of Western Massachusetts & Schoen Books.
Press Release:
Interview with Ken Schoen in the New Vilna Review…
A mysterious adventure unfolds behind the bay doors of the 1930s WPA former firehouse. Those with a vivid imagination may bump into Franz Kafka reading an insurance text, Theodor Herzl reading a pamphlet on Palestine, Sigmund Freud pondering a sphinx, Gershom Scholem scribbling marginalia on mysticism, Uriel Weinreich deciphering Yiddishisms, and Bruno Schulz sketching under the sign of the crocodiles.
The organization Yedidei Hasefer and its newsletter was created in 1980 by book historian Leila Avrin (z"l), paper conservator Nellie Stavisky, and book binder Jane Trigere (my wife), who was then known as Hanna Besserman.
The first exhibit of Yedidei Hasefer was in April 1981 to coincide with the Jerusalem International Book Fair. The exhibit was in honor of Dr. Moshe (Moritz) Spitzer's 80th birthday and mounted at the Jewish National Library. Many of the books he designed during his long career were displayed, including the 'Tarshish' editions.
Here are the Hebrew and English front pages with Spitzer remembrance by Gideon Stern.
–Ken Schoen
Tuesday, November 30th at 7:30 pm
at Schoen Books in the Old Firehouse at 7 Sugarloaf in South Deerfield
Free and open to the public
Schoen Books is proud to be presenting a celebration of Emily Toder's translation of The Life and Memoirs of Doctor Pi by Argentine author, Edgar Bayley, out now from Northampton's Clockroot Books and Nick Rattner and Mart del Pozo's translation of Yván Yauri's Fire Wind, forthcoming from Ugly Duckling Presse.
Edgar Bayley is a legendary Argentine concrete poet and fabulist. This is his first appearance in English. Doctor Pi is a sleuth without a crime. A flâneur on official business. Organizer of unknowable expeditions, lover of brunettes. Doctor Pi, with his frock coat, top hat, and uncommon blend of elation and discretion, is difficult to describe and impossible not to pursue. We follow him through a familiar and impossible world, whose logic equal parts comedy, poetry, and absurdity is a puzzle only Doctor Pi can solve. Emily Toder is the author of Brushes With (Tarpaulin Sky Press, 2010). She will also be reading from her translations of Bayley's poetry.
Nick Rattner and Marta del Pozo, fellow translators. will be reading from two contemporary Peruvian authors: Yván Yauri's Viento de fuego / Fire Wind, which will be published by Ugly Duckling Presse in February and a selection from Czar Gutierrez's novel 80M83RD3R0.

In the back of their minds, the Philadelphia Flyers likely knew that the start of this compacted 48-game schedule wasn't going to be easy and that they were going to need to adapt to that strange new world quickly. But add in injuries, lack of discipline, and, at times questionable effort and they find themselves tied with the Rangers at the bottom of the Atlantic Division. The Flyers, like many NHL teams, are still getting used to the pace of the schedule. But it is an excuse that will begin to ring hollow sooner rather than later.
I had a chance to screen this new movie from Judd Apatow and low and behold I saw Scott Hartnell, Matt Carle, JVR and Lappy in there. Lappy had a great scene with Megan Fox (watch the video Lappy is in there towards the end).
Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Melissa McCarthy all hit a collective home run in this hilarious movie. Albert Brooks was subtly brilliant as he always is. I laughed for most of the movie and it grossed me out, made me wince, had me shaking my head and loving it.
Even in the "dog days" of the National Hockey League offseason, the Philadelphia Flyers always seem to find a way to make news.
After missing on long term deals to unrestricted free agents Zack Parise and Ryan Suter, followed by their unsuccessful super-sized offer sheet to restricted free agent defenseman Shea Weber, the Flyers made the decision to lock up their own.
It began with restricted free agent forward Jakub Voracek, who signed a four year, $17 million contract with the intention of being installed as star center Claude Giroux's right winger.
Philadelphia - - A few weeks ago the New York Rangers had a 10-point lead sitting atop the Eastern Conference, Sidney Crosby was still out and the Flyers were still struggling. Well fast forward this a bit and with the EC race heating up the "Crosby Factor" was in full effect yesterday when the Flyers hosted them and it was a spectacle that will be talked about for years to come.

Streamlight TLR-2 and TLR-2s: The Gun Light/Laser Sight Combo for Your Handgun
September 27, 2010The Streamlight TLR-2 and TLR-2s are noteworthy for being an integrated unit. Many handguns do not have room for multiple optics, and you are left deciding between a weapon light, a laser sight or even a red dot sight. With the TLR-2, you have a powerful 135 lumens (160 for the TLR-2s) Streamlight flashlight and a high-powered aiming laser sight all in the same package. The brightness of the light can blind and disorient a threat, and if that fails the laser sight will be there to aid you in making sure you neutralize said threat. For home security, you must be prepared for any situation.
Shock-proof, dust-proof, water resistant, almost indestructible, the Streamlight TLR-2 is built to last. You can expect 2.5 hours of continuous running time with the light and laser active, and up to 45 hours of runtime for the laser sight only on a set of CR123A lithium batteries (free through Sept 30, 2010!) Streamlight also provides a "No Excuses" limited lifetime warranty and stands behind its work. This unit fits most handguns with rails, and also most long guns with Picatinny (1913) rails. Rated 4.8/5 with over 120 reviews, customers RAVE about this weapon light/laser sight combo. The TLR-2s strobe function is also highly regarded- if you are looking for another method of disorienting a target the strobe function comes highly recommended.
When you are looking for weapon accessories or Streamlight gear, there's no better place than OpticsPlanet!

Steiner 7x30 Navigator Pro Marine Binoculars- Magellan's Best Friend
September 24, 2010I will not argue that the Steiner 7x30 Navigator Pro Marine Binoculars would have alerted Columbus to the fact that he was not going to be partying in Calcutta on this voyage, but they sure would have been helpful. These waterproof bionculars also come with an integrated magnetic compass, which I am told can be quite handy when on the water. Steiner quality is reflected in the durability and performance of these compact binoculars and as with any other Steiner Binoculars as OpticsPlanet is an Authorized Dealer, you benefit from the full manufacturer warranty available!
The exclusive Steiner Sports Auto Focus system, once configured to meet the specifications of your eyes, delivers a incredible field of view of 20 yards to infinity. You can easily pan across the water to take in whatever is around you. Look there! It's a dolphin! And over there- it's a whale, playfully blowing his spout. Wait, what's that? Pirates- sound the alarm! Man the cannons!
You most likely will not be sailing on a 17th century battleship, but whether kayaking, fishing, sailing, or whatever recreational water activity you are engaged in, the performance is just what you need. Advanced anti-haze "CAT" optics block glare (always a major issue on the high seas) but also maximize brightness. A vertical/horizontal range finding mil reticle is built-in to help you determine the distance from a harbor, pier, lighthouse, buoy, other boat, or anything else you see.
There's no reason to have any other pair of binoculars for your maritime activities. And with a $30 Steiner Rebate available for this product, now is truly the best time to buy. Visit OpticsPlanet for great deals on binoculars and many other products!
OpticsPlanet Isn't Just an Optics Super Store- It's Part of the Business Community!
September 22, 2010We're rapidly approaching our 10th anniversary here (you heard that right- 10 years!) and preparations are buzzing about. Between that and the rapidly approaching holidays, projects are stacking up and the coffee machine buzzes later and later every day.
Recently, we got a fun little opportunity to make a video about the Yahoo! Merchant Summit. American Express is sponsoring a contest where the video that gets the most views will win, and naturally- we want to win! We'd really appreciate if you checked it out and helped us, and as an added bonus there is a 10% off any $50 order available in the video description on YouTube.
One of the things we've always been proud of at OpticsPlanet is that we aren't just a company, we're part of a community. We are active in our biggest segments, such as hunting, birding, and astronomy, and we are also rapidly expanding our OpticsPlanet Cares program that supports noteworthy charities focusing on humanitarian efforts, education, and HEROES (military, law enforcement, emergency personnel.)
In addition to that though, we also try and engage with the business and technology community whenever we can. We regularly send people to conferences and expos such as:
- Yahoo! Merchant Summit
- SES Conference & Expo
- Internet Retailer Conference & Expo
- SHOT Show
- ... and so many other events, both large and small.
We also try to engage with people on forums, both on our site and off-site, and offer help in any way we can. Many of our employees are members on interest forums, and they post there to help and advise, not make a sale. This is because we truly believe that we should make any community we are involved in stronger, for the good of everyone in that community. We also have employees (like me!) that have made guest posts on sites such as SEOMoz to help business owners, marketers, and entrepreneurs excel and reach their goals.
As an organization, we always strive to help as much as we can. While we can't help everyone, we try our best everyday to make a difference. We look forward to sharing more of our 10th Anniversary news soon!
Swarovski CT 101 Carbon Fiber Tripod Kit- Only the Best for the Best
September 20, 2010When you are purchasing top of the line optics, be it from Swarovski or any other top brand, you cannot skimp on the accessories that make the experience. Would you buy cheap $80 tires for your luxury car? You would absolutely not- the performance of a car can be limited by the tires that are the point of contact to the road. So why would you use a cheap, flimsy tripod for your top-shelf Swarovski spotting scope?
Tripods are necessary when using spotting scopes because the high magnification amplifies every movement, every quiver, every shake. A top quality tripod will keep your spotting scope firmly locked in and secure, while also allowing for precision adjustments so that you can keep your subject in view. The Swarovski CT 101 Carbon Fiber Tripod Kit offers carbon fiber/basalt composite construction making the legs of this tripod extremely strong, resilient, and steady. This allows for frequent and intensive use, and these materials also make the tripod incredibly lightweight at only about 3 pounds. In conjunction with the soft neoprene shoulder strap and carrying strap, you can easily and comfortably take this tripod anywhere you go and enjoy the break-taking views your spotting scope provide.
The tripod head on the Swarovski CT 101 Carbon Fiber Tripod is stable and practical, with a five-tooth locking system to make sure your spotting scope is firmly held in place, secure and protected from unwanted displacement. You can easily pan and tilt smoothly and efficiently to make sure you always have your subject in clear view. And with a digital camera and digiscoping setup, the Swarovski CT101 Tripod has the stability you need to produce a perfect picture every time.
Upgrade your tripod today with the Swarovski CT101 Carbon Fiber Tripod Kit and get the most from your high-end spotting scope. Available at OpticsPlanet, your source for Authentic Swarovski Optiks.

ATN Night Cougar Night Vision Binoculars/Googles- See Like a Cougar
September 14, 2010With a dual eye/tube setup and two high quality Gen 1+ light intensifier tubes, you can utilize these night vision goggles in even the lowest of moonlight situations, or even with no moonlight available in conjunction with the powerful IR emitter. While the performance of any night vision device increases directly related to the amount of light available (a full moon with no clouds will be the best situation to use your night vision binoculars) with the two Gen 1+ light intensifier tubes and the built-in IR emitter, you will still be able to use the ATN Night Cougar Binoculars in any situation.
With the face mount, you can utilize these goggles hands-free comfortably. The 1x magnification means you can walk around with these NV binoculars and not become disoriented because everything will appear in a 1:1 ratio. This is extremely important, because moving around while using binoculars or goggles with magnification can cause you to become dizzy, or even trip or get injured due to not having a full field of view. A focus distance of 1m to infinity means these ATN Night Vision binoculars are great for home security, spotting for predators, camping, or just enjoying the beauty of nature at night.
For all your night vision needs, you know the ultimate source: Optics Planet. Many orders over $29.95 qualify for free ground shipping in addition to our already low, low prices- you can't beat that!

Cuddeback - The Brand for Those Who Prepare
September 8, 2010The Cuddeback Trail Camera you hear the most about these days is the Cuddeback Capture Trail Camera IR 1132 that uses infra-red illumination, as opposed to a startling flash, to take pictures at night and in extreme low light conditions. With a fast trigger speed of 1/3rd a second, and IR technology you won't be scaring any animals- and the images are conveniently stored on an SD card for you to view later on your digital camera or computer.
The Cuddeback Capture Digital Trail Camera 1125 offers many of the same features as the Capture 1132, but does not have the IR capabilities. Instead you get a much lower price- which nobody can really complain about. Some people think you only need one trail camera, but you can gain a lot of information to using multiple trail cameras to monitor different paths, trails, and areas. At such an affordable price, the Capture Trail Camera 1125 makes an excellent addition to your arsenal of scouting cameras.
The Cuddeback CuddeView X2 is the accessory that makes your entire experience complete. Once you've set up your trail cameras and they've been running for a while, you'll undoubtedly want to check out the photographs stored on their memory. With the Cuddeback CuddeView X2 you can easily go from camera to camera, popping in the memory card and quickly accessing the photos your trail cameras have been snapping. You can also easily transfer photos to a second SD memory card.
Deer season is right around the corner in many places, and time is running out to get yourself prepared. Don't delay any longer- get all your hunting optics here at OpticsPlanet!

A solar storm is racing toward Earth this weekend, but scientists say not to worry.
The blast of charged solar particles was due to arrive on Saturday morning and last through Sunday as it slams into Earth's magnetic field.
Space weather forecasters say it will be a minor event and they don't expect disruptions to power grids or communications systems.
Scientists said they had notified power grid operators, airlines and other potentially concerned parties."We don't see any ill effects to any systems,'' said forecaster Joe Kunches at the US Space Weather Prediction Center in Colorado.
There's a bright side to stormy space weather: It tends to spawn colorful northern lights as the charged particles bombard Earth's outer magnetic field. Shimmering auroras may be visible at the United States-Canada border and northern Europe this weekend, Kunches said.
The storm began on Thursday when the sun unleashed a massive flare that hurled a cloud of highly charged particles racing toward Earth at 3 million mph (4.8 million kph).
It was the sixth time this year that such a powerful solar outburst has occurred. None of the previous storms caused major problems.In severe cases, solar storms can cause power blackouts, damage satellites and disrupt GPS signals and high-frequency radio communications. Airlines are sometimes forced to reroute flights to avoid the extra radiation around the north and south poles.
In 1989, a strong solar storm knocked out the power grid in Quebec, causing six million people to lose electricity.
Juha-Pekka Luntama, a space weather expert at the European Space Agency, said utility and navigation operators "will certainly see something, but they will probably find ways to deal with any problems.''The storm is part of the sun's normal 11-year cycle of solar activity, which is supposed to reach peak storminess next year.
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured Thursday's flare, wowing scientists with images of the massive ouburst.

Art Review: "Emily Carr: New Perspectives on a Canadian Icon," paintings
Marc Awodey
"Rushing Sea of Undergrowth" by Emily Carr
There's a book listed on Amazon.com entitled Carr, O'Keeffe, Kahlo: Places of Their Own. Author Sharyn Rohlfsen Udall notes that all three artists "demonstrate a special connectedness to place," but that's not the main reason they're thrown together. Through popular prints and posters, Emily Carr (1871-1945), Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986), and Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) have become the best-known female artists of the 20th century. Hence the Canadian's, American's and Mexican's names are sometimes spoken in the same breath.
Carr is the least famous of the three. Her paintings are nonetheless often as refined as O'Keeffe's and as psychologically complex as Kahlo's. Given that vitality, "Emily Carr: New Perspectives on a Canadian Icon," appearing at the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts through September 23, is a show Vermonters should brave the border to catch. The artist is slowly but surely becoming more than a Canadian icon.
Carr was born on a prosperous farm in Victoria, British Columbia, in 1871. She was the second youngest of five siblings, and the one most interested in making pictures. The show offers more than 200 of Carr's works, defining three distinct phases of her career. It also traces her life's trajectory, which is nearly as inspiring as the works themselves.
After early studies in San Francisco and England, Carr embarked on a private teaching career. She had first sketched native subjects on Vancouver Island in 1898; after a cruise to Alaska in 1907, she focused even more intently on documentation. At the time, many perceived that "First Nations" art was quickly vanishing from the coastal rainforest region. Carr began recording native forms and designs with watercolors, journeying to numerous villages in the process. "Totem Walk at Sitka" of 1907 is a highly competent, 15-inch-square watercolor on paper that describes a shady path with totem poles along the right. A canopy of spruce trees overhangs the walkway.
Other watercolors from this period include caricatures and cartoons about teaching, plus a pair of striking forest interiors, both about 28 by 21 inches, that presage her mystical canvasses of the 1930s. The 1909-10 forest watercolors were composed with darkened foregrounds and light streaming into their middle depths. The giant conifer's verticals appear to be sculpted by nature, just as human hands sculpt expressive totem poles.
A second European trip in 1910-11, this time to France at the height of Fauvism, was directly responsible for Carr becoming an "icon." She became a solid, Fauve-influenced oil painter, introducing vibrant colors to her formerly simplified depictions of totem poles and potlatch houses. Her oils began to break hues into distinct patches of color, and Carr adopted the use of directional strokes in works such as the 19-by-25-inch oil, "Autumn in France," a golden pastoral landscape with a mountain in the distance. "Trees in France" is a 14-by-18-inch oil on canvas that focuses on the fat trunks of three deciduous trees, which stretch their limbs like ballet dancers.
Upon returning to Canada, Carr added vivid oil paintings to her studies of native life. The 24-by-12-inch oil "Kispiox" of 1912 is an aggregation of totem poles weathered into whiteness and engulfed by a landscape of lavender and chartreuse and a sky in shades of blue. "Skidegate (shark pole)" is a vertically composed, 26-by-14-inch rising composition emphasizing verticality — another harbinger of her later images.
In 1913, an exhibition of 200 of Carr's drawings and paintings was mounted in Vancouver. On its strength, she petitioned the Minister of Education for British Columbia to finance further trips around the province. Ironically, her growing power as a painter doomed her ethnographic ambitions. Carr's application was roundly rejected, and Minister E.H. Young made it clear that he deemed modernist-influenced art inappropriate for depicting aboriginal artifacts.
The second phase of Carr's story began with that bitter disappointment. Students also began to reject her Fauvism, and financial destitution followed. As Carr advanced into her forties, her output as a painter significantly decreased; she earned her living by running a small rooming house and crafting faux Indian ceramics and rugs to sell to tourists. She later wrote, "I ornamented my pottery with Indian designs — that was why the tourists bought it. I hated myself for prostituting Indian Art; our Indians did not 'pot.' Their designs were not intended to ornament clay . . ."
Still, Carr's paintings were occasionally shown. On a visit to her small studio in 1927, Eric Brown, director of the National Gallery of Canada, invited her to participate in the "Exhibition of Canadian West Coast Art: Native and Modern" being organized for the National Gallery in Ottawa. The ethnographer who was also designing the show became so enamored of the paintings by Carr, then in her late fifties, that he reshaped the exhibition so her work was predominate. Twenty-six of her paintings were selected.
That 1927 exhibition has been totally recreated presently in Montréal, and it's easy to see why it won Carr national recognition. Her boldest 1912 canvasses, such as the 28-by-38-inch "Indian War Canoe" and the stunning evening silhouette of a totem gate in the 30-by-20-inch "Graveyard Entrance, Campbell River," moved eastern audiences in a way that would have mystified her detractor, Minister Young.
On the way to attend the Ottawa opening of her 1927 show, Carr stopped in Toronto to meet several artists in the so-called "Group of Seven." That distinguished Toronto-based circle had consciously banded together to define "the soul of Canadian painting" as having a spiritual connection to the land. Carr had similar interests. Lawren Harris, the most spiritual of the group, became her lifelong friend and correspondent. As a result of his influence and her own interest in theosophy, Carr entered the third and most important phase of her career: perusing transcendental themes in the towering landscape of British Columbia.
"Rushing Sea of Under-growth" from 1935 typifies her most celebrated style. The 44-by-28-inch vertical stand of sweeping conifers was rendered with legato cross-contour brush strokes. As in earlier watercolors, darks frame the foreground and light seeps into the forest depths. In the similarly scaled "Light Swooping Through," the woods dissolve into a symphony of rolling folds. Carr's paint handling is often quite lean, yet she warmly layers her material into substantiality.
After Carr's death in 1945, a memorial exhibition curated by Harris opened in Toronto. A large segment of the Montréal show is based on Harris' Toronto presentation. He placed Carr's work squarely within a context of expressively spiritual modernism. Another section of the current Montréal exhibition delves into photographs and paintings reflecting her environmental concerns.
Just as it was 80 years ago, the amorphous identity of Canadian painting remains a fascinating topic of discussion. It deserves to be debated on both sides of the 49th parallel. Whatever the soul of Canadian painting may be, it's unquestionably vibrant. Understanding Carr, the Group of Seven and their Québec contemporaries could make Vermont painters ask if their own cultural identity has a "soul" and, if so, what it looks like.

Beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1, also known as B4GALT1, GGTB2 and beta4GalT1, is a single-pass type I I membrane protein. B4GALT1 is a member of the glycosyltransferase 7 family. It is ubiquitously expressed but at very low levels in fetal and adult brain. By sequence similarity, the beta4GalTs form four groups: beta4GalT1 and beta4GalT2, beta4GalT3 and beta4GalT4, beta4GalT5 and beta4GalT6, and beta4GalT7. B4GALT1 is an enzyme that functions in the synthesis of glycoconjugates It has two flexible loops, one short and one long. Upon binding a metal ion and UDP-galactose, the loops change from an open to a closed conformation, repositioning residues to lock the ligands in place. B4GALT1 is one of the best-studied glycosyltransferases. It plays a key role in the synthesis of selectin ligands. B4GALT1 may play an important role in the inflammation reaction. Defects in B4GALT1 are the cause of congenital disorder of glycosylation type 2D (CDG2D). CDGs are a family of severe inherited diseases caused by a defect in protein N-glycosylation.

Use spices of my Indian culture to master traditional Indian painting, and cooking.
Writing stories is joy of mine. With my experience of my Indian culture and interest in other cultures Id like to give a twist by telling a story to my recopies and art work. So that you can joy the vibrant cultures that I have had the chance to enjoy. The story is about a fictional character, Sani Thakker now 26, who wanted to tell the world her story, about the colorful cultures shes enjoyed through a life's course... it started through the painting a picture through her journal....
Life's course, a journey in which every individual's path differs. For many can enjoy a path they sketched. These individuals enjoy it even when enduring hardships, for the path was, theirs to make. Then there are others in this world that had no say, and they lived in silence. Living in silence was about living under the terms of surviving. Even through the neck of surviving small moments of joy helped pass the day.
Life's course took me through a dangerous ride through several countries. The joy through those countries did not come with the best experiences but in the cultures of people I met along the way. This will be a recollection of 16years from my diary of people, food, sketches I took of places.. I hope you enjoy.

Donald Trump Calls President Obama's Immigration Move "Political"
On Friday, President Barack Obama eased enforcement of immigration laws, offering a chance for hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to stay in the country and work.
Business tycoon Donald Trump weighed in on this morning's Fox and Friends. While Trump acknowledged that immigration is a big problem and that something needs to be done about it, he said, "This was not the right move, this was a political move. You have to come up with a permanent solution, and we also have to secure our borders."
Trump added, "For people that have been here for years that have been hard workers, have good jobs, are supporting a family, it's very, very tough to just say, 'By the way, you know, 22 years, you have to leave, get out.'"
Trump believes that Gov. Mitt Romney will come up with a permanent solution to the immigration problem in America.

The Hopkinsville City Council Committee of the Whole sent an amended smoking in public places ordinance on to Council Thursday evening, but the matter is far from any type of resolution.
After considerable discussion about other options, Councilman Paul Henson proposed an amended ordinance which would not ban smoking in any business. Instead it would require each establishment to put signage on all public entrances stating whether smoking is allowed or not in that building.
Restaurants would not be allowed to have smoking and non-smoking sections as they do now—they would have to decide. Councilwoman Kimberly McCarley said that would require non-smokers wanting to eat at smoking restaurants to be closer to second-hand smoke than they are now. Councilman Henson said non-smokers could simply not patronize those places.
Henson's version of the ordinance passed on a 6-5 vote, with Council members McCarley, Charlie Henderson, Peggy Everett, Don Ahart and Cornelia Belle voting "no" and Philip Brooks absent.
Mayor Dan Kemp said he was not pleased after the meeting, but believes the result could be different when smoking ban supporter Councilman Brooks is there to vote September 18th.
If Councilman Brooks votes the way the Mayor expects on September 18th, the current ordinance would likely come up with a 6-to-6 tie, meaning the Mayor could cast the deciding vote against it. Council could then go back to the original ordinance or make different amendments.

The production has great acting, singing and dancing—and too many standout performers to name. But Richard White and Rebecca Baxter trill a wonderful "Make Believe" and PL. Brown does a mean "OP Man River."
