whats the best way to freeze vegetables for smoothies? i dont want to blanch them.

I just clean them, dry them, stick them in bags and then stick them in the freezer- works great. I do this with things like spinach, kale, collards, mustard greens… those type of things.
I cut my fruit up in chunks or slices, place on a cookie sheet and pop it in the freezer. When they are hard I put them in a freezer ziplock bag and they keep wonderfully! I have done strawberries, bananas, peaches (if they are not too ripe) blueberries, pineapple, and mango. Works everytime.

I'll freeze my banana's whole and I've never had a problem. I just put a few in a bag together. It saves me time.

I just wash, chop, freeze in gallon Ziploc bags. I don't even dry them–just shake them off after rinsing. Don't worry too much about washing organic garden greens, because you'll get more B12 that way!
I did a bunch this morning because I have kale, collards, arugula, turnip greens, and more coming out of my ears, in the garden.
Don't blanch–kills enzymes.
AnonymousView July 8, 2009
Can you do that with all greens? I don't blanche collards, but do blanche chard and spinach. Is it safe to just freeze those without blanching?
AnonymousView July 10, 2009
I've wondered if bacteria is a problem when the greens are not washed well and obviously not cooked.
AnonymousView July 10, 2009
Yes, I freeze chard and spinach too.. Same way as Robyn said.. just wash, chop and bag!

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The head of the Pentagon's Cyber Command is cautioning that while al-Qaida is not capable of destructive computer attacks on the U.S., the terrorist organization could acquire that aptitude very quickly.
Army Gen. Keith Alexander said Monday in remarks at the American Enterprise Institute, a think tank, that he worries that al-Qaida and other hostile groups could become viable cybersecurity threats in the future.
Alexander also argued for legislative action to clarify the roles, standards and authorities of Cyber Command and other government agencies responsible for defending the nation against infectious computer viruses or other attacks on the nation's information systems. He said it is important to do this soon because as cyberspace grows more crowded, "the probability for crisis is mounting."

Great image and title. The colours really make the mood and give atmosphere to this imaginative piece of Work.
Well worth the wait for one of your best....Mollie bows down Mr D.....Wish I had your vision....and ability
Some great work on the water light,the quality of work and the imagination shown is again something we others can only strive for ,great stuff.Never thought i would like a MM song but that one works well.
very strong image..love your portfolio...draw dropping.
Having seen your portfolio now, I appreciate even more so the vote you have given on one of my Stoneheange Druidic serieS...THANKYOU!!
Waves of War:
A tide of terror washing over everything, and everyone. Jellyfish shelters are too fragile to hide under, and easy for monsters to shred apart.
Only those as strong as hard granite will survive and not be affected.
The chief monster (Hitler?) lords over and watches fascinated and proud of his destructive works.
My mother, who is now 92, has throughout the years shared stories of the WWII years in Norway - several in my family were in the Resistance, but I never found out until one of them was in nursing care (he had dementia) and he told me his strategic plans of how they smuggled people over the mountains........
I should stop being worried about how I interpret stuff, and just go with what I see. This is what I thought when first presented with this image.
And no, you should never tell what was in your mind when you created your images - half the joy is in reading what others experience and see in them.
Off to buy some sweet bubbly wine for the New Year's festivites - may you celebrate well, and see you in 2013. Godt Nytt År.
It's one of those days how I can see this works. I have lain in bed on several ocassions pondering what on earth it's all about though. Skillfully done.

Im still not convinced about that top jellyfish size, but It was constructed after a few Stellas as the music took over and pounded brains that night.
They all have message
Stellas are good and help boost the imagination, and music is an added bonus - I have just educated myself on the true meaning of the "swastica" and would make an entirely different comment on this image. This proves I am still not too old to learn....................
May the force be with you.
Well, now.
Have looked at most of your images. Stunning all the way. And very artful.
Not exactly my cup of tea - but yeah, I don't drink so much tea anyway.
All in all: creative, imaginative, powerful, meaningful. Hats off!

Whenever I play "Queendom" by B.et.a and the Neon Panthers, the lead singer is the default male singer, rather than switching to a female lead.
Can I assume this was an error in, er.. "charting" or what?
Whenever I play "Queendom" by B.et.a and the Neon Panthers, the lead singer is the default male singer, rather than switching to a female lead.
Can I assume this was an error in, er.. "charting" or what?
I believe when a project is created in Magma, the lead singer's gender can be specified. Without knowing more, I'd consider this a mistake. That aside, it's a great song.
Yep this is correct. Magma asks you to specify the gender (it defaults to male).
I'm going to assume that most testers have their own premade characters they use (even for testing), at least several of our guys use 'their' band members when testing.
So that might be why it was never caught. But yeah this is an error if a dude is showing up when there isn't a character specified for vocals.
Check out the TAG website here! :
Facebook :
Make sure you actually had a female character in your band. I know that seems obvious, but I've had all one gender bands before, and thought "why is the singer male/female", when it's because there isn't someone of the other gender to switch to.
[] Dizzy Mizz Lizzy [] Dover [] Guano Apes [] More Miley Cyrus
[] The Rasmus [] The Veronicas [] More Volbeat
Yes, I have a female character in the band. The way the stuff is set up, the only times there will be no female available for lead is if guitar and drums are playing (which is annoying) or most sets of three. But this is keys and guitar (very standard at my house) and keys (also very standard) and there definitely is the male assigned to lead.
This is a game-breaking issue
Face it bro, my divinity is unassailable
Yeah this is a good point. If you have a full band of custom characters assigned as stand ins and none of the characters are female it will just switch the lead singer (assuming no one is singing at the time) with one of your other male characters that aren't being used by a human player.
And if you do have female players, if someone is playing them then it won't switch them to the vocal slot.
The only way it will switch to a female player in a full custom character band is if A - there's a female character in your band, and B - that female character isn't currently used by an active human player.

Repeat C-sections: Is there a limit?
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/c-sections/AN02070
- With Mayo Clinic obstetrician and medical editor-in-chief
Roger W. Harms, M.D.
read biographyclose windowBiography of
Roger W. Harms, M.D.
Roger W. Harms, M.D.
"Nothing helps people stay healthy more than the power of real knowledge about health." — Dr. Roger Harms
As medical director of content, Dr. Roger Harms is excited about the potential for Mayo Clinic's health information site to help educate people about their health and provide them the tools and information to live healthier lives.
The Auburn, Neb., native has been with Mayo Clinic since 1981 and is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology. Dr. Harms is a practicing physician and associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology, and his specialty areas include office gynecology, high-risk obstetrics and obstetrical ultrasound.
From 2002 to 2007, Dr. Harms was director for education at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn. Dr. Harms was the 1988 Mayo Medical School Teacher of the Year and served as associate dean for student affairs and academic affairs. He is the co-author of the "Mayo Clinic Model of Education." In 2008, Dr. Harms was presented the Distinguished Educator Award, Mayo Clinic, Rochester.
Dr. Harms is vice chair of the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology and medical editor of the Pregnancy section on this website. In addition, Dr. Harms is editor-in-chief of the "Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy" book, a month-by-month guide to everything a woman needs to know about having a baby.
"My medical education experience has grown out of a love of teaching, and that is what this site is about," Dr. Harms says. "If any visitor to this site makes a more informed and thus more comfortable decision about his or her health because of the information we provide, we are successful."
Repeat C-sections: Is there a limit?
How many C-sections can a woman safely have?
from Roger W. Harms, M.D.
Although there isn't enough research to support a specific limit on repeat C-sections, most women can safely have up to three cesarean deliveries. Each repeat C-section is generally more complicated than the last.
For some women, the risk of surgical complications — such as infection or heavy bleeding — increases only slightly from one C-section to the next. If you had a long and difficult labor before your first C-section, a repeat C-section might be less physically taxing. The healing process will take at least as long, however, and possibly longer if you develop complications.
For other women — such as those who have significant internal scarring or bands of scar-like tissue that cling to the uterus (adhesions) — the risk of each repeat C-section increases substantially.
Primary concerns with repeat C-sections include:
- Weakened uterine wall. Each uterine incision leaves a weak spot in the uterine wall. This might interfere with future pregnancies.
- Problems with the placenta. The more C-sections you've had, the greater the risk of developing problems with the placenta — such as when the placenta implants too deeply and firmly to the uterine wall (placenta accreta) or when the placenta partially or completely covers the opening of the cervix (placenta previa).
- Bladder injuries. Bladder injuries, which are possible but uncommon with initial C-sections, are more likely with repeat C-sections. The increased risk is likely due to scar-like tissue that developed after a previous C-section, binding the bladder to the uterus.
- Heavy bleeding. Heavy bleeding is possible after any C-section. The risk of excessive bleeding increases with the number of repeat C-sections. The risk of needing a hysterectomy — removal of the uterus — to control life-threatening bleeding also increases with the number of repeat C-sections.
Repeat C-sections appeal to many women. Beyond three C-sections, however, the surgical risks must be weighed carefully against the desire for subsequent pregnancies.

Hmm I dont actually, the PS3 will catch up (its been slowly happening)
I think the Wii does have it in the bag.
However I believe they may run into lots of trouble next gen.
They cant do a Wii 2 ...as in casual gamers wont pay more
for another Wii.
They either need to come up with another fad or join the big
boys and make actual proper games. .
But I do agree the gamers are the winners.
I dont think you need to own both consoles to be honest
as most games come out on both. But its by no means a bad thing
Ive been a 2 console (I dont count my Wii) owner since
the PS3 launched (as I had a 360 already).
I think its a maturity thing in some ways
growing up I was a Sega fanboy ...that was a real war

I don't see why not, considering that most of their games are just rehashed old games as it is. Haven't seen anything truly new from them in a long time. Just a lot of Mario, Pokemon and Zelda games..

only difference is colour and the hdd. i did see the wireless network adapter for $50 at Kmart the other day too.
theres no new xbox coming this year. project natal is coming though, and theyre treating that like a new console launch

Oh yeah kudos for that ,
forgot about Natal..
I stand by my no new consoles till late 2011
at the earliest..... but likely 2012 (maybe later)
@ GTR. before the Wii the last 2 Ninty consoles
where not what they hoped, because they clung to those brands.
To be honest they have done the same thing with the Wii,
its just people say ZOMG you can wave the controller around.
If they try and do the same thing with a Wii 2.
the only people who will buy it will be Ninty fanboys.
who I find to be the most annoying out of PS/Xbox

I agree with you on that one. I think it'll be 2011 at the absolute earliest, and more likely 2012, before we see a next-gen console from anybody. Although Nintendo may decide to join the current generation in 2010
I really don't sense any great desire for a new console from either gamers or developers. I don't think we've seen the best of either the PS3 or the 360 yet, and it'll probably be the next 1-2 years that we do finally see them really stretch their legs. I do think the quality of multiplatform titles will probably plateau, but the exclusives are what really push any piece of hardware and there's still more to be had there.
So if most gamers don't seem to be in a rush to upgrade, developers are still getting more out of the current hardware, platform holders are happy making money on their existing platforms and publishers never like the arrival of new consoles due to the costs of the transition, there doesn't seem to be much of a case for the arrival of a new generation of consoles for a couple of years yet.

Of course not, with less than 24 hours to go till 2010, it's improbable. I surely hope not, anyway.

hahah good call. no new console in 2010 either . well apart from OnLive, which looks awesome, although it wont be very good with australias internet speeds.
i think we'll see the new ones, or at least the new xbox, in 2012. if theres to be a new PS3, it has to be released within 6 months or sony will be pulling out of the console business.
Or, they could wait a few years. There will still be multiplats. A new Xbox won't have great games overnight. After a couple of years, Sony then comes along and releases a new console, of which it takes advantage of newer and better technology. The multiplats will then already be at a high standard for the Xbox, and assuming that the devs aren't nutjobs, they'll easily be able to take advantage of a more capable PS3 and the multiplats will be up to par very quickly.
The PS3 is set up to last longer than the 360, which will allow it to have a stronger console than the Xbox counterpart. Will also go down well with the PS3 owners, as they have a console that they still don't need to upgrade as soon.
In other words, the generations of consoles are likely to become awkwardly scattered, with them alternating between having the best tech.

MLK, USA: Many King Streets Stuck on Economic Outskirts
Jan 17th 2012 3:48PM
Twenty-six years after the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was first honored with a holiday, his legacy has flourished -- and not just in the annals of history. Today, there are more than an estimated 900 streets in America that bear the civil rights leader's name. But even as the memory of King remains at the heart of... Continue Reading »

LEGO organization part one is in full swing over here. I spent my morning sorting, sorting and more sorting, with a variety of children in and out. This was my sons' idea, not mine, so I hope it will stick. I purchased two five drawer bins last night and we are sorting by the main colors, a drawer for mini figures, and I'm not sure what else, since we haven't gotten that far yet.
The majority of these LEGO came this summer when we purchased about 40 pounds of LEGO from a friend's son. He is in middle school with new interests, and was willing to sell his entire collection of LEGO for a hundred bucks. I'll keep you posted on how the organizing goes and how well the boys keep the system up.
In other news, Apollo is doing great during the day, napping and doesn't seem like he's in any pain. Nights, however, are a different story. He has slept less each night he has been home. He can't get comfortable and won't sleep in his crib, in our bed, or being held (upright or lying down). Last night he didn't even sleep for a two hour stretch. Today I am giving him Tylenol and Advil hoping to reduce any swelling or pain so we have a better night.

After months of planning and great anticipation unfortunately my wife and kids had to fly out last week without me due to unforeseen work commitments. I am now free to fly out and have explored every possibility of getting to tobago but it would seem that the monday BA flight is the only option available before the aggro of the travelling time involved renders the trip unworkable.
My question to any of you regular travellers is can there be anyway of minimising the cost by for example waiting for the last minute to book. I get the impression there are plenty of seats available. Any advise would be very helpful. i must reiterate I have explored all other ways of getting there by all alternative routes and they are either booked or involve overnight stays at airports which I do not wish to do.

Published: 2/28/2013 9:20 PM | Last update: 2/28/2013 11:13 PM Hutch girls have same woes, season endsWICHITA - For a fleeting moment - actually, about four minutes - you had to like Hutchinson's chances of advancing in the substate playoffs.The Salthawks scored the game's first eight points and appeared to have host Wichita Northwest off balance. And then the Grizzlies awakened. In the span of about 90 seconds, their full-court pressure forced a couple of turnovers. They hit a few shots.
The Salthawks never had their swagger again. A 49-38 loss to Northwest epitomized a season that featured way too many turnovers and soft post play that the opposition feasted on quite frequently. "They hit their shots and we committed turnovers to let them get back in the game," said Hutch coach Tom Clark. "They got aggressive and we didn't. That's the best way to explain this whole season." The Grizzlies will advance to Saturday's substate regional final against top-seeded Wichita South (19-2). The winner of that game will advance to next week's Kansas Class 6A tournament at Koch Arena in Wichita. It took Northwest a while to score its first points of the game, but once it did, it opened the flood gates. "That's been our problem all year," said coach Jim Mernagh. "We have trouble making baskets. We got some early easy looks, but it took us a while to take advantage." Northwest's front court of Calea Carr and Shayla Cotman gave Hutch trouble all night. The Grizzlies got a lot of second, third and sometimes fourth chances at the basket. They controlled the glass. What probably wasn't expected was how badly Hutch responded to the full-court pressure. The Salthawks have been solid in the backcourt this season with a young rotation of guards, but they turned over the basketball 21 times in this one - many of them in the back court. After a 17-17 deadlock at the end of one quarter, the Grizzlies were in control the rest of the way. They used a couple of turnovers to produce an 8-0 run that gave them a 28-20 lead in the final minute of the first half. Hutch never responded to that run. Maybe what bothered Clark most about the season-ending loss was how little fight he saw in his team. "We have to change," he said. "We have to get some kids who are committed to changing. Are we going to be the hunted or are we going to be the hunter? We have to figure out a way to become the hunter again." Northwest grew the lead to as big as 13 points on two occasions in the second half. Hutch whittled the lead to seven points - 43-36 - in the final minute on 3s by Shea Morford and Shayla DeGarmo, but the Grizzlies pulled away from the free-throw line. WICHITA NORTHWEST 49, HUTCHINSON 38 Hutchinson 17 4 4 15--38 Wichita Northwest 17 11 11 12--49 Hutchinson: Higgins 1 4-5 7, Morford 1 0-0 3, Rothe 1 1-2 3, DeGarmo 2 0-2 6, Downing 1 2-2 4, Weber 1 0-0 3, Clark 1 0-0 2, Wessel 3 1-2 7, Kraus 1 0-0 2, Calvillo 0 0-4 0.

Easy RAIDPros: I found this to be easy to install and easy to setup and configure the RAID Array and to setup monitoring. This is an entry level RAID card and preforms great for the price point paid for it. Cons: The only con is that it takes a while to build the array given that I used new WDC 500GB hard drives. I would only say that if it was possible to proceed past the building of the array while it completes would be nice but this would only be available in the higher level RAID cards. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Failed after 3 monthsPros: Bootable Cons: Mirror RAID array w/ two WD6400AAKS went to degraded after two weeks, spent 4 hours rebuilding, only to have it go degraded the next day. Sent Adaptec a support question (still not answered). Then today the array failed. Unpluged from 1220SA and plugged into my motherboard SATA conectors and tested both drives (No errors) Booted computer with one drive, and started fine. Other Thoughts: Frustrating 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Nice, Easy softraid controllerPros: Worked as advertised. I was concerned because I was going to have to install the drivers while restoring an image, but it worked fine, no problems at all. Easy to install, easy setup, using it as a Boot array with XP/Raid 1. Fast throughput as well. Cons: Takes a while to build the array, but that's a one-time thing, so no big deal to me. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
I spoke too soonPros: I wrote a review and gave them four stars for low cost low performance. I think low cost is still true for pros. Cons: However, the building process for 1.5TB mirror with 2x1.5TB drives stuck at 73%. The card reconized the 1.5TB drives as 1.37TB drives, 73% is about 1TB. Other Thoughts: I am not sure which RAID controller actually not have 1TB limit. I am sure all RAID card has a limit, but none of them put that in their spec. I am not sure why. Try to contact Adaptec support for resolution of this problem. Have not received any answer yet. If you like me trying to build a mirror raid with 1.5TB or 2TB drives, maybe you could share your success story on NewEgg, so that all Egg finders will learn from you. 4 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
low cost, low brain powerPros: Low cost, small card, works with 1.5T drives to create mirror. Cons: When one bad sector found, it stopped building the raid! I have a few Adaptec and 3Ware raid cards, all hardware raid. This one has not processor on board. Although it can build raid on its own, it can not do it in background and when ran into bad sector on a hard drive, it stopped right away. Other Thoughts: Dont' know how to handling error during host processor handling it. The name of this card is called "HostRaid Controller", not just raid. It depends on the host processor to work on the raid. To save your host CPU power, you may buy the most reliable drives. Which I did not think about it before purchased this. If you have critical data, you may consider spending more for a board with adapter processor that can handle bad blocks. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
[Solved] PCIe Training ErrorPros: Simple, small board that looks robust. Cons: Doesn't share IRQ's nicely. Other Thoughts: Board uses the Silicon Image Sil3132 chip, so if you have problems with other boards using the same chip, try freeing up IRQ14 (or potentially another IRQ) and see if that solves your problem. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Fast RAIDPros: EZ to setup. works great!! Cons: None 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Faked out by fakeRaidPros: If you want a SATA adapter card that will support software RAID I guess it would work. Cons: This card is NOT a hardware RAID controller. It is a hardware supported software RAID card, otherwise known as fakeraid. Adaptec HostRAID is just marketing speak for software based raid. If you want a real hardware raid card you will need to spend over $150. 9 out of 14 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good CardPros: Decent price, hardware RAID, good throughput. Cons: None so far Other Thoughts: Set up with two WD6400AAKS in RAID1. No performance hit in WinXP Home set as boot drive. 1 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

What better reason to move across a whole country than to start a dream job while being closer to your last remaining relative?
Kerra Ryan, Marketing Manager and self-proclaimed cookie addict, moves across county to be near her gran and start her dream job. Declan Quinn, witch and owner of Decadence Biscuit Factory, has a new employee he can't seem to keep his hands off. But Declan carries a secret. He carries one of three Fates, an ancient and powerful essence, cursed to be passed down through countless Quinn generations. What neither Kerra nor Declan realize is she holds another.
As Declan helps Kerra understand the power she holds within, they find themselves fighting an unnatural attraction while battling two conniving parents and another witch hell bent on killing them.
Can they find a way to rid themselves of their destiny or will Fate show them the way to something sweeter?
Show Excerpt
Declan Quinn noted the unfamiliar car as he all but rolled impatiently through the gates to his factory. Already thoroughly frustrated, the slow driver ahead of him did nothing to calm his nerves.
He figured it was one of his older customers wanting to take a tour. He looked at his watch. They didn't start for another hour. He was proud of the health and safety standards for both food and employees at Decadence, and customers were always welcome. Except when he was stuck behind one. He huffed out a breath as the two of them continued their crawl down the lane.
He frowned as he wondered if the driver was purposely going slowly. He quickly dismissed the idea.
If there was one thing he abhorred it was being late for a meeting, even if it was with one of his own staff. A phone call to his home from his vice president and the project manager earlier, warning him of impending problems on his second manufacturing plant, had distracted him. There would be serious decisions to make on the viability of the site.
As soon as there was space available Declan nipped around the little blue sedan and punched the accelerator. "Slow old woman driver," he grumbled to himself as he passed the car, noting a blur of light hair in a bun.
He was still sitting in the car five minutes later as the only other occupant of the parking lot walked by. He hadn't seen the woman coming toward him, but he watched the back view with a mix of surprise and blatant admiration as the lush curves swept past. His body automatically tightened at the graceful, feminine sight.
Pale golden hair piled high with just a few smaller tendrils left to tangle at the back of a long, slender neck. A perfect hourglass figure neatly packaged into a firm white shirt and figure-hugging gray pinstriped skirt that fell to just above the knee, hinting at a long, supple back and curvaceous bottom. He followed the pair of long, shapely legs down to…his eyes widened in shock at a wicked pair of red sky-high heels.
The whole prim ensemble immediately turned to spice. Surprised at how fast the tension rose in his body, he now understood the delay at the security gate. This was nobody's grandmother. If he'd still been a teenager he would have called up the wind to flutter her skirt just to see if her panties matched those shoes. But he wasn't a teenager, he silently reprimanded himself, he was a businessman and a man of authority. Pity.
He was so enthralled by the view he almost forgot he was stuck on the phone with one of the most powerful men in the business world. He was brought out of his thoughts quickly and with force.
"Declan! Are you bloody well listening to me?"
The frustration he heard in his friend's voice was heightened by the surround sound speakers in the car. "Of course, Michael, you were explaining you wanted to be trounced yet again. Saturday week at the club suit? I'll have my secretary book a court." Declan continued to watch the woman's silhouette until it disappeared into the building. His eyes narrowed. "As to the other matter, my new marketing manager starts today. She should be eminently capable of blending our products into your advertising campaign."
"New marketing manager? Who did you poach her from?"
The piqued interest in Michael's voice made Declan wary. "I didn't. She applied for the position when we advertised, something about moving to be with family. She has done some outstanding work for the company she previously worked for."
"I can't see you hiring an unqualified. Where did you say she worked previously?"
Silence danced around the car for a moment. "I didn't and I wouldn't take kindly to having my new employee poached from under my nose."
"Would I do such a thing?" Michael laughed a little ruefully.
Declan could almost see the man's rakish grin as he sat at a huge mahogany desk in the penthouse suite of his twenty-five-story office building.
"I will personally see to it that she is brought up to speed, and we'll have a proposal to you within two weeks. Now if you don't mind, old man, I'm dreadfully late for a meeting." Declan swiped a harried hand through his thick black hair before the strands settled haphazardly again.
"That about covers everything. Feel free to bring that leggy brunette from the newspaper with you next Saturday. I'm sure she'd love to see a real tennis pro in action. I'd be happy to give her a few pointers." The competition between the two of them constant and never malicious.
I'm sure Amy would appreciate help with her backhand, but I'm afraid she won't be joining us on Saturday, or any other day, for that matter." Declan's voice was firm, although he knew his friend wouldn't pry. Much to his disgust, his so-called reputation for short-term relationships was legendary. "But feel free to bring that beautiful wife of yours. I'm sure Lisa could use the company of a handsome, charming man. She must surely be sick of yours by now?" Declan enjoyed the amused chuckle he heard down the phone line.
"I may do that. Lisa was only just saying we hadn't seen you in ages."
"Pining for me again, is she?" Declan sighed dramatically, knowing he wasn't stirring his friend's ire in the least.
Michael and Lisa Stapleton had been married for almost forty years, long before Michael had turned his little corner store into one of the largest conglomerates in the country. Even Declan with his cynical view on women and marriage had to admit the couple were still deeply in love.
"Your reputation makes me nervous when you're around my wife, Deek," Michael muttered.
"Well, I have told her repeatedly I'm available any time she wants to try someone younger," he teased unmercifully.
"Lucky for me the woman's not fickle, but I think she has a prior engagement on Saturday. I just have to organize it first," Michael said wryly, laughing as he hung up the phone. Declan couldn't help but smile as the line went dead.
The man was thirty years his senior, but Declan admired both his energy and business acumen. He was also one of the few men he trusted in the cutthroat world of retail. He climbed from the car and headed toward the factory, surprised when his mind wandered firmly back to the identity of the mystery women in red heels.
He was suddenly looking forward to meeting his new marketing manager.

10 Ways to mitigate competitive analysis risks
At the 2011 APMP International Conference, Lohfeld Consulting Group's Managing Director Brenda Crist presented an informative session on mitigating proposal risks. Here are Brenda's identified Competitive Analysis Risks and recommended Mitigation Strategies:
- You do not know the competitors or their relationships with the customer. Talk with your employees, the customer, stakeholders, users, and vendors to identify potential competitors. Determine if competitors have self-identified on market research databases.
- You have limited knowledge of competitors' solutions and capabilities. Use open-source research information, e.g., Internet, news, annual reports, and professional associations, to identify competitors' capabilities. Hire subject matter consultants who are knowledgeable…

Posted: Jan 8, 2013 8:02 PM by Chief Meteorologist Dale Nelson
CORPUS CHRISTI- It was warmer and wetter in the Coastal Bend today with generally light rain and the heaviest of rainfall activity in the Gulf of Mexico. The majority of are rainfall will arrive overnight and end by noon tomorrow. Here are the details.
A significant rain event is shaping up for south Texas as a vigorous upper level disturbance along with a Pacific cold front approach from the west late tonight. Some of the activity may become severe (so says the storm prediction center) in the Coastal Bend but the primary effect of this system on the region will be locally heavy rain which is badly needed.
Tonight and Wednesday showers and thunderstorms likely with a few producing locally heavy rain and gusty winds expect a low tonight of 59 and a high tomorrow after the rain ends of 74.
Expect beautiful weather here behind the front Thursday and the first half of Friday. A stronger cold front arrives Saturday night.

Syria and the Bystander Effect
About a week ago, as people were writing about the use of chemical weapons in Syria, I read a blog post in which the author argued against American intervention and in favor, more broadly, of a moral responsibility not to intervene when others are suffering:
Let us suppose that I see a person being physically assaulted on the sidewalk. The aggressor appears to be using their fists, but no weapons are visible. If I see that person being assaulted, and I fail to intervene, am I morally at fault?
This was a question faced early on by common law judges, and the answer they gave was almost universally no. At common law, there was no duty to rescue, and there are good reasons for this. First consider that in most cases, I will be ignorant as to the motivation for the assault I'm witnessing. The person being assaulted may actually be the more "culpable" of the two based on some prior bad act, and I'm simply witnessing some sort of aggression in-kind. But I have no way of knowing in the moment of initial apprehension. Second, Intervening may require me to place myself or someone I love in harm's way, as the aggressor may see fit to visit retribution upon me or my loved ones at a later date for becoming involved in his or her dispute. It is selfish and reckless of me to place an uninvolved third party potentially at risk based on my desire to rescue the person in front of me from the apparent violent predations of another. While we can agree that I may place myself at risk to rescue another, I have no moral claim on placing others at risk through my actions. these considerations mitigate any moral responsibility to intervene I might otherwise have.
But let us suppose that I do intervene to try to save the person being assaulted, but in the process, I only make matters worse. Perhaps the aggressor, realizing he or she is outnumbered, draws a weapon that he was not using before. Now, what began as a fistfight has been escalated into a more lethal situation for both the victim and myself. An aggressor who may have merely seen fit to "beat up" the victim is now rearing to kill them. Am I morally responsible for that escalation? Absolutely.
It is certainly possible that my intervention will only be helpful to the victim. But the difference between our example and official state military intervention is that, as you add more human beings and political interests to the example, the potential for unintended consequences increases. Furthermore, imagine that the last four or five times I intervened in a sidewalk assault, I ended up doing as much and more harm as I prevented. That would certainly make non-intervention seem to be a more morally responsible action, even if there's still a chance that I'm watching a genuinely innocent person get assaulted without just cause.
In other words, because it's possible that intervention won't help and might even cause harm, we ought to feel either a) unconcerned or b) good about not attempting to assist those who are suffering.
This is an elaborate defense of being a bystander.
It's the sort of argument one constructs in order to excuse the sort of non-action that, in other circumstances, most people wouldn't want to admit. You see someone being assaulted but you don't want to get involved … so you tell yourself that, if you did get involved, things would probably just end up worse than if you'd left well enough alone. "If I try to stop a simple assault, the victim — who would just be badly beaten — will probably end up being shot. And, hey, maybe the victim in this situation isn't really even a victim; maybe she's done something to deserve the assault. I shouldn't get involved."
Of course, the author of the blog post wants to suggest that it's a very different equation because we're dealing with the American military and we have knowledge that previous interventions were carried out badly. This should, apparently, change the moral calculus … just as it did for the U.S. when extremist Hutus were massacring Tutsis and moderate Hutus in Rwanda in 1994. We'd intervened badly in Somalia, of course, so we decided that we ought not to intervene in Rwanda. If we're being honest with ourselves, I'm not so sure the Rwandans are grateful that President Clinton recognized the possibility of unintended consequences and decided we weren't morally required to provide any assistance.
Now I'm equating Rwanda with Syria in this post and I'm not writing some sort of full-throated call for intervention either. I'm just trying to make clear two things:
1. Past actions don't actually give us any indication of what will happen in the future. It's quite possible to do something badly nine times and then to do it perfectly the tenth time;
2. We need to stop giving ourselves so many excuses for our desire to turn our backs on people in need. We have a hard enough time pushing ourselves to act on behalf of others as it is.
And, indeed, the blogger knows this. Here's how he attempts to mitigate what he's said:
Note that this is not an argument for never intervening to stop a perceived injustice. This is an argument for not intervening in a perceived injustice when you have prior knowledge and experience which suggests that your intervention will cause at least as much damage as it alleviates. This is why, say,Oskar Schindler's interventions on behalf of Jewish victims of the Third Reich, for example, are different than U.S. military intervention in the Middle East. The moral calculus of humanitarian intervention changes when you have prior knowledge which suggests that your intervention will cause affirmative injuries elsewhere or in the future, even if it appears to alleviate the suffering that is in front of one's face.
On what basis should Schindler have believed that he would succeed in saving the lives of Jews during the Holocaust? Indeed, on what basis should any of the Righteous Among the Nations have taken action? They didn't really have any reason to believe that they would succeed in their efforts to rescue Jews and they had every reason to believe that they would be killed if they were discovered. I suppose the blogger's argument would be that they couldn't possibly make things worse for the Jews by attempting to rescue them, since they were almost certainly going to be killed by the Nazis one way or the other. This puts the threshold for intervention at cases where things couldn't possibly get any worse for the victim … which means, happily for us, that we will almost never have to take any risk or exert ourselves in any way for others since we can almost always say to ourselves, "I could conceivably make things worse so, for everyone's sake (and especially for my own sake), I'd better just stay put."
Plain and simple, this is nothing more than an excuse to remain a safe, secure, happy, and healthy bystander while others are suffering. It's not some sort of moral high ground.

The world is divided into two massive continents: Elendara to the East and Marasaku to the West. But a darkness is brewing; an old order is trying to revive The Legion of the Apocalypse; a legion of dark forces from the underworld that wish nothing but death and despair for all of the mortal races. There is hope, however, in the form of the last decendent of the White Ones: the group that defeated the L.o.A long ago.
Each continent has it's very own races to acompany them. Travel between Elendara and Marasaku is frequent; large ships carry travelers for two weeks across the open ocean, where they must brave dangers such as massive sea dragons, serpants, and possibly the most deadly foe: pirates. The continents are populated as follows:
High Elves (pretty obvious what they are)
Kahjiit (a race of bipedal sentient cat-like creatures)
Humans (Again, obvious. Unless you are an alien reading this )
Reptens (a race of bipedal amphibious reptilians)
Dark Elves (Like high elves, but shorter, stealthier, and not as noble).
Orcs (Strong beserker-like creatures who love battle and blood. Very clannish)
humans (yep, we inhabit most everywhere)
reptens (they, too, inhabit any marsh-like lands--or anywhere there is water)
Centaurs: (Half human, half horse. They don't like to travel over the ocean, so you will rarely see one in Elendara. They are part horse, so don't stand behind one.)
Minatours: (Half bull, half human. Like Centaurs, they don't particularly like to travel over the sea. There are exceptions though. Big mean brutes with horns. Don't stand behind one.)
Wood Elves: (Like High Elves, but even better with a bow (if that's even possible). They aren't as good at taming beasts as the High Elves are, and aren't as tactically brilliant either).
The 'special' animals of the world:
Pheonix (a large fire-bird that thrives in volcanoes. When they die, their young arises from the ashes)
dragons (non sentient flying beasts. They are oft misunderstood; they just want to be left alone. Most of the time. Some dragons live in the sea, some on land without wings. ALL are deadly).
Unicorns (Shy winged horse-like critters with one horn on their snouts. Usually white or silver, but black ones are spotted on occasion)
Subterrors (like dragons, misunderstood. They burrow underground, and attack their prey from below. As big as dragons usually. They prey mostly on animals but have been known to eat humans).
Alright, we can discuss and make any changes of course. Also, we need to come up with country names. Anyway, here is our Character Sheet Skeleton:
Physical Appearance:
Native Continent:
- - - Updated - - -
Name: Ethallian
Age: 124
Race: High Elf
Physical Appearance: He is actually quite different from normal High Elves. He looks more like a Dark Elf with his long black hair and dark amber eyes. However, he has the fair skin and tall height that is customary of his kind. He wears a black tunic trimmed in gold, and carries a short sword and a rapier at his side. He carries a shortbow over his shoulder, and a quiver full of arrows. He wears a billowing cloak over his tunic; it is dark green. His boots are nearly knee length, light and buckled; hidden in his right boot is a very long knife. His face is pretty elf-like, though he has a scar on his right cheek and one above his left eyebrow.
Personality: Light-hearted unlike most of his kin. He has a sense of humor, and doesn't take life too seriously. He can be a real smartass, but he is also the type that, if you can gain his trust, will be a very loyal friend. Believes in integrity; has his own moral code, even though he's a merc.
Native Continent: Elendara.

Concentrations / Degree Information
College of Business Major Concentrations
As the needs and expectations of industry change, the business curriculum--the courses you take to earn your degree--must change to meet business requirements. What recruiters and industry leaders have been telling us is that their most fundamental requirement is for SJSU to prepare business majors who understand how businesses function, who can reason critically and articulate persuasive ideas verbally and in writing, who adaptively embrace change and technology, are ethical team players, and who comprehend the international imperative of business. Less critical for most business graduates is extreme depth within a concentration. Thus, when considering the trade-off between fundamental skills and specialization within a business area, most business leaders are opting for solid business fundamentals and strong personal skills.

Understanding Natural Gas Rates
In New Brunswick, natural gas is provided in an "unbundled market" - which means the cost of distributing natural gas is separated from the cost of supply.
1. Distribution Rates & Tariffs
The cost of using the company's distribution network which is the pipeline system that distributes natural gas to you. Your rates and tariffs depend on which rate class you fit into.
A minimum monthly distribution charge is required by all customers, to cover some of the fixed costs of providing natural gas service, like meter readings, pipeline maintenance, customer support, and 24-hour emergency services.
New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board (EUB)
regulates the rates and tariffs for natural gas distribution service that we charge to our customers. Rates and tariffs may only be changed with the approval of the EUB.
Learn more about Delivery Rates & Tariffs>>
2. Commodity Rate
The cost of the natural gas that you consume. It is also referred to as the "Supply." You can have Enbridge Gas New Brunswick, the regulated utility, supply your natural gas or you can sign a contract for gas supply with an independent Gas Marketer licensed by the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board.
Learn more about the Commodity Charge>>
Your total monthly cost of natural gas will change depending on the amount of GJ's you use every month.
Natural gas is measured in Gigajoules (GJ), a metric energy measure. So one GJ of natural gas is roughly equal to 26 litres of fuel oil, 40 litres of propane, or 278 kilowatt hours of electricity.
Regulation of the Rates
New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board
(EUB) is empowered under the Gas Distribution Act, 1999, with the responsibility of regulating the natural gas industry in New Brunswick. This responsibility includes approval of applications for rates and tariffs (as well as pipeline construction and gas marketer's certificates).
In accordance with the Gas Distribution Act,
Enbridge Gas New Brunswick Handbook of Rates and Distribution Services
pdf) defines the various natural gas rate classes, associated rates and the scope and application of certain policies relating to our distribution system in New Brunswick.

Some Curves/Average Height
I modeled this dress at a local boutique. It was absolutely stunning and the crowd favorite. I am only 5'5" and it was almost sweeping the group even with my 5" heels on in a size small. I think it looks a little better with some curves though - an absolutely breathtaking dress. I didn't want to take it off! It will make your booty pop though so this is a must if you have a small bum.

The Organisation for Economic and Co-operative Development (OECD) released a 15 step action plan [PDF 1.45MB] in July to address base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS), signifying potentially the biggest change in the international tax landscape in years. 67% of executives interviewed in the 32nd edition of the C-Suite Survey [PDF 366KB] support the proposed OECD action plan to address tax base erosion and profit shifting to other countries.
This survey, sponsored by KPMG, is conducted by the Gandalf Group, and published and broadcast by The Globe and Mail and BNN. Executives were also asked to reflect on their businesses five years after the 2008 crash.
Watch KPMG's Willy Kruh discuss the tax morality debate.
Corporations around the world and in Canada are dealing with fundamental changes in attitudes towards tax. These changes are being debated in moral rather than legal terms, raising challenges for companies on how they respond to these demands for greater tax transparency.
