Sarah Margaret Wiggins - Wife of Willis Green Haley
I transferred the memorial of Willlis to you, glad to do so. Had a question on the Wiggins name. I have found in Macon County cemeteries headstones for the Wiggins family with names spelled both Wiggins and Wiggans with and "a" in the last name. Don't know if any of them were related to Sarah or not. I was wondering if you had ran into this before. The story I had heard was that the difference in spelling had to do with family changing it after disagreeing over the Civil War.

0-0-0, thanks!!
That's a very complete and amazing list of credits.
But I don't think the girl is Shu Chang, because I just came across some article which said the girl acting as Little Wanjun, in Xue Ke etc is called Jin Ming. And she's in Beijing Academy now.
Anyway, back to Shu Chang again. I agree that's she's the most beautiful/talented/lovely/cute actress out there. The more I think about this girl, the more she steals my heart away. Gosh, I love her performance in Bao Lian Deng. Suffering withdrawal syndrome right now. I think anyone who's a die-hard Shu Chang fan should watch the show. It has good storyline, romantic love story, and Shu Chang's dubbing is good as well.

My very own DEC PDP-11 and a quick view of a DEC System 20
Thursday, January 13th, 2011Finally it's here, my eagerly awaited PDP-11 from Digital Equipment Corporation.
My very own DEC PDP-11/23
A very nice guy named Pontus had one left over which he was willing to give away if I came to pick it up. Said and done, now I'm a proud owner of a DEC PDP-11/23 from 1979. Today I powered up my PDP-11 for the first time with XXDP, next I'm going to see if I can get CP/M running on it. In the end I hope for some kind of Unix, but one step at the time. Hopefully my books on PDP-11 that I ordered on Amazon will arrive soon.
DEC System 20 @ Update, University of Uppsala
This very nice guy who gave me the PDP-11 is also a member of the computer club Update at University of Uppsala and invited us to a guided tour of their collection of old computers. It was love at first sight when I saw their DEC System 20 lined up in the corridor and I couldn't resist taking some photos to bring with me home.
Check out my gallery for more pictures of there two beautiful computers.

TORONTO, CANADA, Feb 14, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Canadian World Fund Limited's /quotes/zigman/12254/realtime CA:CWF +1.99% net asset value at December 31, 2012 was $38,350,000, an increase from the $35,540,000 at the end of 2011. CWF's net asset value per share (NAV) at December 31, 2012 was $5.33, up from $4.94 at year end 2011. The NAV return for 2012 was 7.9%, compared with an 11.0% return for the benchmark Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index, expressed in Canadian dollar terms. The market price of CWF's common shares declined by 3.1%.
CWF increased its weighting in the consumer discretionary and financials sectors and decreased the exposure in the underperforming energy and materials sectors in 2012. The main positive contributors to the portfolio included Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited (casino operations in Macau), Lojas Renner S.A. (fashion apparel stores in Brazil), HDFC Bank Ltd. (premier Indian retail bank), Groupo Financiero Banorte (one of the largest and oldest financial institutions in Mexico) and Peer 1 Network Enterprises, Inc. (a Canadian internet infrastructure provider with data centers across North America and the United Kingdom), which is being acquired by Cogeco Cable Inc., a Canadian communications company.
The gap between the performance of larger and smaller capitalized stocks has widened, particularly through the Canadian bear market in resources. This had a negative impact on CWF's performance as the Canadian weighting has been high in the CWF portfolio.
CWF is a TSX-listed global equities fund that provides one of few opportunities for bottom-up investment in securities of publicly traded, primarily growth companies in a global portfolio.

(1) The Company calculates the net asset value and net asset value per share on the basis of the valuation principles set out in its annual information form. These valuation principles differ from the requirements of Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), with the main difference relating to securities that are listed on a public stock exchange. While the Company generally values such securities based on the latest sale price, GAAP requires the use of the closing bid price. Accordingly, bid prices are used in determining net assets and net assets per share for purposes of the interim and annual financial statements.

BP Comment Quick Links
January 4, 2013 Raising AcesThen and Now: It's Good to Be the KingThe legend of Felix Hernandez is surprisingly old for an athlete so young. Signed out of Venezuela at the age of 16, King Felix flew through the Mariners system, earning his regal nickname en route to the major leagues and staking his claim to the Safeco Field throne while he was still a teenager. With his combination of elite talent and the work ethic to realize his upside, Hernandez is the ideal pitcher to profile in this first edition of a new series on pitcher development, as we trace his career path "then and now." The BP staffers were cautious with ranking the inexperienced right-hander when constructing the Top 50 Prospects list of 2004, eventually leaving him off the list in favor of more seasoned players, but Hernandez would earn redemption in the '05 Annual, receiving the highest pitcher ranking as the number-three overall prospect on the Top 50. King Felix's stay atop the prospect rankings was brief, as he permanently lost his eligibility with a dominant debut that cemented his status as the future of pitching in the Great Northwest. Hernandez's talent fueled predictions of immediate stardom, as reflected in the following line from his '05 player comment: "He's going to finish in the top three in Cy Young voting in 2006…" The path to hardware did not come quite so easily, and the heightened expectations attached to the King's right arm produced feelings of disappointment despite a performance record that was rather remarkable for a kid who was essentially going through his collegiate education in the Show. From 2006 to 2008, Hernandez was perpetually over-drafted in fantasy leagues in anticipation of ace-like numbers, yet the supposed wunderkind disappointed his followers with an ERA in the high threes and WHIPs that approached 1.40. Then something clicked in his fifth season in the league, and the King has ruled his court ever since. For the first few years of his career, Hernandez struck out his fair share of hitters while maintaining the walk rate of a veteran, though his tendency to miss within the zone led to heavy doses of hard contact. The trends changed course in 2008, with the walk rate climbing by more than a batter per nine innings while the hit rate dropped by a comparable margin, but the net result was a similar volume of base runners. The Mariners were cautious with the right-hander's workload as he progressed through the injury nexus, drawing a line at 200 innings until his age-23 season.

Within the drug discovery phase of pharmaceutical R&D several assays are widely used for lead optimisation. The applied techniques are summarised in the abbreviation ADME/T, which stands for Adsorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Elimination, and Toxicity. Physicochemical (or cell-free) assays comprise (LINK auf Sugen pdf)
These assays require a liquid handling workstation to handle aqueous phases as well as organic solvents. On-deck or off-deck shaking incubation is also often part of the assay. Compound distributions are typically analysed across the two sections of transwell plates (PAMPA) or across the organic and aqueous phases (Log assays) measured by UV spectroscopy or (LC)MS analysis. Thus, integration of incubators and readers or MS interfaces are typically part of ADME/T workstations.
Typical cell-based assays comprise:
These assays usually require confinement of the robots in class 2 safety cabinets. After sample preparation, a shaking incubation takes place, followed by lysis and bulk (Hepatocytes, Microsomes) or compartmental (CaCo2) compound concentration determination by UV or (LC) MS. ADME/T assays are typically medium throughput assays, in the range of 50-100 compounds/day. HAMILTON offers various solutions for all the mentioned assays.

Canyon Country Campus to Host Star Party on May 4
The College of the Canyons Canyon Country campus will host its bi-annual Star Party on May 4, with all community members invited to visit the campus and view the stars -- along with Saturn, the moon and Mars.
The spring semester Star Party is scheduled 7:30 to 10 p.m. Friday, May 4, in the Canyon Country campus' Carl A. Rasmussen Amphitheater. Admission is free of charge and open to the public.
Attendees will have the opportunity to view the night sky -- with particular emphasis on Saturn, Mars and the Earth's moon -- through one of several high-powered telescopes.
"The elevated nature of our location, combined with the clear views we experience on a nightly basis, makes the Canyon Country campus a perfect venue for gazing at the moon, stars and planets," said Dr. Dena Maloney, vice president of the Canyon Country campus and Economic Development.
College faculty members will be joined by students from the Astronomy & Physics Club and other local astronomers to answer questions and provide audiences with additional background and interesting insights about our moon and the many awe-inspiring aspects and unique planetary makeup of Saturn and Mars.
To begin the evening, guest speaker Matt Wallace, flight systems manager at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), will deliver a brief orientation lecture based on his experiences working with NASA's Mars Exploration Program on the famed Mars rover project.
As flight system manager for the Mars Science Laboratory project, Wallace and his team are responsible for overseeing the development of spacecraft systems for the next Mars rover, code named Curiosity, which launched from Kennedy Space Center in November 2011 and is expected to reach Mars on Aug. 5, 2012.
Wallace has made significant contributions to other robotic planetary missions and three Mars rover missions, including management of the assembly, test and launch operations team for both the Spirit and Opportunity rovers. He also handled surface mission operations for the Opportunity rover after it landed on Mars in 2004.
"We're very excited to have someone with Mr. Wallace's level of knowledge and in depth experience join us for what is sure to be a fascinating evening under the stars," Maloney said.
Though some seating will be provided, attendees are encouraged to get to campus early with blankets, lawn chairs and picnic baskets to enjoy a festive outdoor atmosphere as the sun begins to set and the night sky emerges.
Coffee, hot chocolate, pizza and other food items will be available for purchase at the event from Lamppost Pizza, operator of the Canyons Café on the Canyon Country campus. A portion of concession sales will be donated to the Dr. Ram Manvi Memorial Scholarship to benefit students majoring in mathematics, science or engineering technology.
Dr. Manvi, the former dean of math, science and engineering at College of the Canyons, was instrumental in launching the first Star Party in 2009.
Want to learn more about Saturn, the moon and Mars? Then bring your friends and family to this unique, educational and fun-filled event!

Does the Keystone Pipeline have a new lease on life and -- chance at life.
Trans Canada just unveiled a new routes that avoids the most environmentally sensitive areas.
Is the question however will President Obama approve the plan before the November election.
Former Shell Oil president John -- minds -- it joins us from thinks this is what I wanna start job.
You know this industry you know the business much better than I do and our view is wanted a simple answer.
Will President Obama approved the pipeline.
He -- so far -- approve it before the November election it's a yes no questions.
I think he -- I think the answer is no we won't.
And the reason is he has gotten clear messages.
From many of his base supporters particularly in the environmental movement.
That it would seriously impact their ability to donate to his campaign -- a very pragmatic decision for his reelection.
Despite that I do think we will see the Keystone Pipeline built one day.
OK but and am I right in saying that everybody did you know in the oil industry would love to see that thing built and built now is accurate.
Well in fact a third of the Democrats in the House of Representatives.
Voted for the transportation bill which includes the thirty day approval of the Keystone Pipeline so he is losing -- the war.
With his own party over the need to create jobs the need to have more affordable energy from a friendly neighbor come into our market.
But he is still gonna I think stick.
With his base OK I want to -- to the price of natural gas we've been reporting just it's -- up all time record -- I believe.
Well -- about two dollar mark for British thermal units okay.
Now it's a huge -- we've got a huge source of supply here in the United States massive source of supply.
And it's very very cheap my question is can we should -- can we sought to use it.
We should absolutely turn our attention to alternative uses of natural gas Stewart.
I've been out on the -- all over the country talking about the importance of natural gas as an alternative transportation fuel.
It's a supply and demand situation we see what's happened to the price of natural gas.
It's come way down why don't we apply this natural gas low priced natural gas to transportation fuel whether -- compressed CNG compressed natural gas.
Or turn it in the methanol and use it in flex fuel engines as a substitute for gasoline.
Stewart this is our chance to say to OPEC.
Go away OPEC we don't need your cartel pricing any -- we don't need to help beat your policeman of the world in the Middle East anymore.
Can we can take care of ourselves with domestic -- -- resource well.
All we using it all weaken voting natural gas to other forms of -- -- are -- doing this.
Well not enough there are small incremental efforts underway for compressed natural gas but we've seen the Pickens Plan be held up.
By the senate and the house.
And and we haven't made any progress in and really using over the road trucking or building out an infrastructure there are many political -- say bowlers.
And what the Pickens Plan was designed to do is create political enablers and it's simple -- that if we had some political leadership in Washington DC.
For domestic energy production Stuart we could change the game in this country.
For the long term all right a real for a but he got fifteen seconds literally would you be in favor of government subsidies to build national infrastructure -- filling stations for natural gas.
No I think we could do -- private money.
Because the people know there's a market.
They'll invest in the market for the return on investment rather than paying more taxes all right John -- -- short and to the points as ever thank you very much indeed John always appreciate you being with us thanks.

Mmmkay, so I've been away from the boards for a while. There's been a lot going on in my life away from the car scene that I've been dealing with/thinking about, but I was rudely awakened and forced to re-enter the realm of automotive mayhem recently, so here's an update...
The TGP, my only semi-functioning car at the moment, has been limping me to and from work the last few months. Well....a couple weeks ago, the radiator went on it. I could still drive it, but the constant filling of coolant was getting on my nerves. So, 2 weekends ago, I decided to dig up the radiator (from the TGP I parted out a few years back) out of my Public Storage space. I just HAD to have it in the furthest corner possible, buried by interior pieces. So anyway, I get it, and go to my friend's driveway to work on the swap (I live in an apt complex where working on cars isn't tolerated). Well....all was going smoothly till the dreaded tranny cooler lines. Some of you may have seen my post in the TGP section about these not cooperating. I had to cut through the top one, and the bottom fitting rounded out trying to get it off. So I had to wait till the following weekend to find a solution. Against the advice of 2 parts store employees (due to the "damn near impossible angles in the bends"), I decided to try custom bending the lines myself. To my surprise (and theirs), they actually came out pretty damn close.
I had also decided during the week that, since the radiator was out of the way, to tackle a few other things I've been meaning to get to......for the past year. Saturday, I replaced the plugs (NGK Iridiums), wires (Taylor 8mm red), coils (Delco), ICM (Delco), oil return line (bought off TGPilot), and cleaned off the negative ground for the batter cable. Sunday, I put the radiator in with the new lines, new lower heater hose, new thermostat, and new battery post bolts.
End result?
......MUCH better running/accelerating motor. It still has some issues to resolve, but the horrible vibrating + lack of acceleration I'd get when I pressed the pedal more than 1/4 of the way down is completely gone! Oh.....this may have had something to do with that....
Brian G discovered the splitting on the middle coil at our last w-body meet. I've been wanting to change them bad ever since, and removing the radiator, plus having a driveway for a weekend was just the excuse I needed to get my ass in gear and get it done! I'm so glad I finally did. I only wish I had done it sooner. The car still has a lot it needs, but I'm actually kind of excited about getting it done, now.
You now have all been briefed, and may resume your regularly scheduled activities.

Yoga (cont.)In this Article
Is it safe to do yoga?You should discuss yoga with your doctor before starting if you have medical conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetic eye disease (diabetic retinopathy), orthopedic problems (low back, neck, etc.), or any other medical condition that you think might be worsened by yoga. Some of the poses may be unsafe, and your doctor can advise you. For instance, individuals with diabetic retinopathy should not do exercises where the head is below the heart, like downward dog (adho mukha svanasana), forward bending (konasana), handstands (adho mukha vrksasana), and any of the other inversion poses (half plow [ardha halasana]; plow [halasana]; shoulder stand [sarvangasana]). Some of you may have back problems, and that should definitely be discussed with your doctor and the yoga instructor before you start. If necessary, speak with the yoga instructor or studio manager and find out what poses will be used, and then if you have doubts, you can run it by your doctor. Although the yoga instructor may be trained, they are not doctors, and so you should check with your physician about your medical concerns. Go for it! Yoga is a great complement to aerobic and resistance exercise, and I suggest that you might be completely surprised at the benefits you experience. I don't see how you have anything to lose, and so I urge you to give it a try! I will leave you with a yoga chant that is occasionally used to end a yoga session. Sanskrit English |

8/13/2009: India hit for rising religious violence - Washington Times |
By: Betsy Pisik
An independent U.S. agency on Wednesday criticized the Indian government's "inadequate" response to growing religious hatred, saying attacks and violent riots are on the rise. The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) released a harsh assessment of India's ability and interest in protecting Christian and Muslim minorities from organized attacks. Plenty of laws are in place, the 14-page report noted, but police and government officials often do little to enforce them. Tags: |

Max Stassi Hit 110 homers for Good Cause
Jim Ecker
Wednesday, May 05, 2010
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – Max Stassi likes to hit home runs. He's good at it, too.
Stassi walloped 40 homers during his prep career at Yuba City High School in California from 2006 through '09, making him on the top sluggers in the state. He surpassed those numbers last December, however, when he belted 110 homers in 30 minutes.
Yes, you read that right. He hit 110 homers in 30 minutes.
"I was tired. Oh, yeah," Stassi said this week. "My dad was tired, too, throwing B.P."
This wasn't normal Batting Practice, mind you. Not by a long shot. Stassi engineered a special home run derby for charity that he called "Home Runs for Hungry and Homeless," held at his high school field in Yuba City this past December.
Stassi thought of the idea, helped put it together and was the star of the show.
"My county in California was hit pretty hard with just the economy in general and people losing jobs," he explained. "So I did a little home run derby, hit some homers and raised about $8,000 for local food banks and whatnot. So it helped out some."
The proceeds were distributed to eight food banks in Sutter County, which helped the hungry and homeless in time for the holidays. "I was happy with the way things went with that," he said, a touch of pride in his voice.
Stassi is a professional baseball now, and a fairly wealthy one. He was selected in the fourth round of the 2009 draft by Oakland, and the A's gave him a hefty $1.5 million signing bonus to lure him away from a full ride to UCLA. He got first-round money despite being a fourth-round pick. You might not want to play poker with this guy.
Stassi signed at the deadline. "It came down to like the morning of the last day," he said.
Stassi played briefly in the Arizona Rookie League and Northwest League last summer after signing in August. He was sitting at home last fall when he thought of an idea to help his friends and neighbors in Sutter County. "It just hit me," he said.
Some people donated a flat amount to the "Home Runs for Hungry and Homeless." Other people, like his cousin Chari Daddow, pledged $5 per homer, never dreaming he might hit 110 in 30 minutes. "Yeah," said Stassi, laughing, "so she was down $550."
Chari paid, happily.
"The wind was blowing out, so I got lucky," Stassi said. "Honestly, the wind was howling out. So all I had to do was get it in the jet stream and it was out."
Jim Stassi, Max's father, did the pitching. Jim played in the minor leagues and was Max's high school coach, so he knew exactly where to put the pitches. Max did the rest.
Think about it, though. Stassi hit 110 homers in 30 minutes, divided into two 15-minute sessions so he could rest between sessions. That's nearly four homers per minute, or one every 16 or 17 seconds.
He used a wood bat for Part I, then switched to a metal bat for Part II. And they weren't playing in Max's back yard. He hit all those homers at the Yuba City High School field, with normal high school dimensions of 320 to the corners and 360 to center.
"I just got it in the air and they were traveling out," he said. "It was awesome. It was a fun day."
Stassi is having a lot of fun in pro ball now, too. He's a 5-foot-10, 190-pound catcher for the Kane County Cougars in the Class A Midwest League. He began Monday's game against the Cedar Rapids Kernels with a modest .235 batting average, but went 3-for-4 with a double and raised his mark to .259 with three homers and 14 RBIs in 22 games.
"You know, you go through your ups and downs and you learn a lot," he said. "You learn a lot about yourself, playing every day. It's a whole different world."
Stassi had struck out 33 times in 22 games through Monday, an average of 1 ½ strikeouts per game, so he's working on putting the ball in play and being more consistent. He's only 19 years old, so there's time. If he hadn't sign with Oakland last August, he'd be a freshman at UCLA right now.
"Yeah, I think about that quite a bit, how my lifestyle changed, but I wouldn't trade this for anything," he said. "It's awesome, just playing baseball every day."

I've got a series of MKV video files from the same source in which the sound is delayed by about 2.5 seconds. Changing the sound timing offset in the Audio submenu doesn't do a thing. These files all play correctly on the desktop in VLC, however. There's nothing odd about them that I can see: they're 1280x720 H.264 video, 48KHz stereo AAC audio. It's as if the encoding is so compressed that the box is running out of cycles or something.
Has anybody else seen something like this? I'm running the most recent update on the box.

Conflict Minerals Compliance – Another Cost Challenge for Electronics |
A little more than two years ago, "conflict minerals" were certainly well-known in humanitarian circles but had not yet caught on handily as a "cause" within the public capital markets, not to mention the electronics industry and supply chain. Enter the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and "conflict minerals" has become a household word, often holding far less favor than the intended humanitarian purpose to minimize financing of militant groups in the Congo and adjoining countries (DRC). US Securities and Exchange Commission issuers are forming high-level internal compliance teams with representatives from legal to finance and internal audit to purchasing involved in assessing to what extent, if any, the company's products contain conflict minerals within the ambit of Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, adopted last August under Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Diligence efforts are not confined to SEC issuers, however, with supply chain participants deeply involved in determining and certifying the original source of supplies of tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold (3TGs), and their numerous derivatives, sold to their customers.

Trucking regulations can be taken too farJanuary 12, 2013Editor: We all drive the highway and byways here in West Virginia every day, but when we drive on the interstate or truck routes we become annoyed by the fact we are being held up or being passed on...... PuremagixIn most cases, it's careless drivers in cars that cause a most truck accidents. Unlike cars, trucks cannot stop as quickly as smaller vehicles. When you're driving an 80,000 pound vehicle, it takes considerably more distance to bring it to a stop, yet, some drivers cut them off or stop without warning ahead of them. There is absolutely nothing we use that wasn't on a truck at some point in time. Even the car you drive was loaded on a truck and delivered to the dealer. Every day we lose more trucking companies thanks to over-restrictive DOT regulations. Add that to the high cost of operating, the profits are very small. Every time we lose a trucking company, the cost of everything we use goes up. Lose enough of them and everything we use will become unaffordable. It only takes 3 days without trucks to create a food crisis in NYC. The store shelves would be empty. Think about that when you start complaining about trucks on the highway. 5 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » playfareThis time I actually agree with you Pure. I drove a tractor-trailer for many years. The "four wheelers" expect an 80,000 lb vehicle to stop on a dime and no matter how seasoned the driver is that is just not going to happen. And for those who don't realize it, if you cannot see both of the trucks side mirrors when you are following the truckdriver cannot see you either. You are following too close. And those signs at traffic lights that say "stop here on red", they are put there to allow tractor trailers to make wide turns. So when you choose not to follow directions, be prepared to back up. And believe it or not we are not out to endanger anybody. Most of us have families at home waiting for us to return safely. We cannot so this without the cooperation and understanding of all drivers. Once in a while when you sit down for a meal think about how that food managed to get to your table. And be thankful....... 6 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 2 of 2 comments

Well others say is right around the corner and we're trying to.
Puppy out figure out what to get mom without breaking the bank and because it is Sunday we have Terry got this CEO of the grocery game dot com to help us and you brought along some good for idea nor am I good morning.
-- love Mother's Day I think it's a fund -- on -- -- mom you're proud mom of two I have two boys well they're -- now twenty and 27 -- have that you have a fantastic weekend with them as I will and go home on Friday and from LA is so he -- a long way to -- would you every month this is fantastic I want you to know.
This is a three dollar.
Packets a six pack of flowers there in their entered the little ugly package -- you -- -- -- hardware store but you may never know at what made me think yeah we do -- tap into Bristol this is something that kids can help with this is that.
Little popsicle sticks that I can actually their craft -- -- -- -- -- these packages.
And we did and with the crackle paint.
And then he -- the kids glitter glue peninsula that just make sure you put on some type of cover all sure.
-- -- believe that -- hot on the table effort here and have some fun with that glittering it up and then we put.
And this little tight little buzz ribbons and puts a little fun thing -- Good easy give us and other cost of this will be -- Well the flowers and three dollars and if you party had the popsicle sticks and a lot of people are we have all these craft materials that he -- not -- to be any kind of paint so really you can do it for three dollars and we have all -- you know you put it on the windowsill -- -- there for awhile I may even a center piece like here haven't -- habit for your brunch and I always say whenever -- go to the nursery to get the -- think about where mom wants to see color in her garden -- -- -- -- these -- her later so find out -- you have a shady spot that needs a bright color whenever it's sunny picture you choose the right and the powers there's six different.
Flowers in your -- can spread and -- -- look nice in our awareness it's a it's a gift that works okay yeah and next up well this one is.
Facial basket.
And -- Eight and a million of that not even has a candle and it.
We have to Michigan -- and we have all the deals it's CBS -- Walgreens this week and I made this basket from about seventy dollars worth really peaked when he dollars.
It's that's what we do we specialize in deal stack in a -- the grocery game got cons worse this some of our folks at -- can.
Can find more information hasn't actually of these deals are good -- salaries would tell you exactly how to get everything here for twenty dollars what's inside well what it we have these.
These facial queens and we have windsors and -- and actually there's some facial.
Those facial -- that -- -- over here.

So it's great I know as a mom I would love to -- anything even a box that it comes and looks like.
-- pull -- error in Key West or something.
It's do you think anything is you can pick up things like this we -- this at a thrift store and it was like a dollar 25 so how do you find these kind of I was look for bargains and I loved -- stories for reusing and recycling things like baskets you can always go there.
The -- baskets.
And even bases and things like that so then -- appreciated again once -- -- that would goodies for somebody else yeah I am or extort things and it.
And by the way.
Some of these things came in a box and I think they look prettier if you take a mountain put him in the basket that way so you can give the box mom later but just kind of building baskets he's a lot of packing tape to.
Make things stay in place to stand up so that's just a presentation is key tap but I think so yeah and and there's good reason side that are very useful and fun and that's the number 38 that is -- bath and body basket and it may have some body Washington.
To body lotions and that's about half the normal pace it's about seventy dollars worth that we pay about 35 dollars it's an example to -- -- a lot of us ladies and out actually recommended it -- I'm on these.
These -- that are this self tanner so that you don't end up and you know that.
That damaging your skin -- and you beat you raise and I -- you've included those as well yes because the deals were on them they were with us sale.
Plus we used to manufacture coupon from the Paper and we got money back at the register so we roll that back over into buying another step to them about this kind of because stacking deals ruling deals a fact that hey now we're called gamers yeah okay so the grocery game dot com tells a little bit more about your website as well well what we do is we make it easy because -- -- -- there's a lot of things nowadays that.

It only takes thirty minutes to cut your coupons and get to the store and buy your groceries.
Because we don't Ricard -- compounds we -- actually have 62% -- -- and on the sales are killers they're actually an advertised plus and I think that it's a total of 67%.
Savings on average for a family for them and it's fun and that's why we -- the grocery game because it's fun it's like a game this kind of like winning in Vegas she get this -- can rest I know I do when I'm saving because when I about the step here.
I get excited every time because -- -- that don't like to save money in yet that.
Also heard some people say men in particular say my life is -- -- broke.
But it may not be good pregame dot -- -- -- actually a lot of guys are actually.
Better at grocery shopping than the women using this game because.
Many have this thrill of the hunt that they want you know and they also want to bring home the bacon so there's something.
In them that makes them want to compete.

Hi everyone! I wanted to share with all of you garden-lovers that HGTVGardens has launched its own Pinterest account with nothing but garden-related goodness. No home renovations, no real estate stuff -- strictly gardens. From how-tos to garden-to-table recipes, it's all in one place. We hope you'll follow along and recommend other stuff we should share with the community. I really enjoy reading the threads here and getting to know you all! "Bloom where you are planted." | |||
Mallory, Its a very good thing to have someone associated with HGTV pay attention. While I don't mind some home remodel shows, a steady diet of it is boring. I'm also a quilter and a craft show can't be found on HGTV these days. I think if you did some checking, you'd find that quilting and gardening are far bigger industries than remodeling. I'd surely appreciate some attention being paid to the needle crafts (not just quilting) and to gardening again. Sorry girls and boys, I just had to take the opportunity to put the good word in here. www.floridafarmgirlsworld.blogspot.com Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain. | ||||
Thank you so much for the feedback. Unfortunately although I can't guarantee what kind of programming occurs on the television channel, we want you to know that we've got our ears and eyes wide open to the gardening community and through hgtvgardens.com, our goal is to provide you with some more robust, topic-specific content, even if it's just on the web for now. Hopefully this changes in the future based on your feedback, so we appreciate every single bit of it! "Bloom where you are planted." | ||||
thanks for the heads up, mallory. now i'll never get off this darned cpu! | ||||
Sorry, I don't do those type of sites. No facebook either, nor twitter or any other of the older ones. I haven't watched hgtv television since Gardening by the Yard went off. I'd already seen most of the shows 2 or 3 times by the time it finally quit being live. "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
Ditto what Karen said. I am not on Pinterest, Facebook or Twitter. I am so not interested in "Facebook". If you didn't want to talk to me when we were in school together, why would I want to talk to you now??? And I really don't care what you did last night (on Facebook!) B O R I N G !!!!! Yawn.... I just really would like to see plain old fashioned GARDENING T.V. PROGRAMS. Without all the other smoke screens, i.e. Twitter, Facebook, etc. I even signed up for several Gardening Newsletters in the last few mos. to get some gardening info. It's still E-Mail, I miss TV and NOTHING beats Paul James and his Gardening Show. Why Can't "HGTV" bring some new Gardening Show(s) to TV???? OR REMOVE THE 'G' FROM "HGTV" now, this year!!! This message has been edited. Last edited by: Wavy, SPRING HAS F I N A L L Y SPRUNG!!!!! | ||||
I just recently joined Pinterest and found some awesome gardening ideas...primarily crafty things that are easy to make...like filling an old work glove (in a cupped position) with concrete, letting it harden, then peeling away the glove and using it as a planter for succulents. I'm not a big fan of it yet, but it is something to do/look at during the winter months and the more I view, the more I like it. My granddaughter urged me to join Pinterest...she loves it. She has an entire "board" dedicated to wedding ideas and she's not even engaged. Since she's a special needs teacher, she has another board dedicated to projects she wants to incorporate into her classroom. So Pinterest offers a wide variety of items that you can refer to for ideas. Since they are "pinned" to your board, you can refer to them again and again. Much better to me than folding down pages of magazines, then forgetting which magazine the idea was in. I'm on facebook too.....for me, it's a good way to keep in touch with my cousins, who are stretched all across the country. None of us are very good at emails, so we can keep up with each other on FB. Also, a bunch of the old Garden Talk crowd are on facebook and it's a good way to keep in touch with old friends, some I've met, some just like here....board friends...but we had about 15 years together. Twitter - don't have a clue....those two things are enough technology for me. As for the HGTV programming - it literally stinks in my opinion. Agree with Wavy, either put some good, down to earth normal people shows back on, or else remove the G from the title. I am not letting anyone follow me home and redo my yard for gazillions of dollars. I don't care to view the homes of the rich and famous either. I do like House Hunters and House Hunters International...otherwise, it's a non-used channel here. Just my two cents worth on the subjects. veThis message has been edited. Last edited by: vera ellen, | ||||
Totally agree with Vera! | ||||
Um....that's what THIS forum is for. I don't do pinterest either. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I've decided to quit my job, drop out of society, and wear live animals as hats." | ||||
Mallory: I love Pinterest and am now following HGTVGardens. I have boards with so many of the things I love; my garden (of course), flowers, photos of the rain, and more...it is awesome. I recommend it for hours and hours of mindless fun (if you have the time) - much more interesting than FACEBOOK. You really don't have to interact with anyone if you don't want to. | ||||
HGTV lost the G a long time ago and I no longer watch their channel, if they bring back gardening show's I will watch again, otherwise I'm not interested..... | ||||
As for programming---sponsors are hardware mft. or big DIY boxstores. Why go down to the paltry level of crafts and gardening? The sponsors wouldn't like it. | ||||
Facebook - Never. Twitter - When one of my kids is out of the country and calling is too expensive, I track him on twitter just to know he's ok. Pinterest - It is like tearing out those magazine pages and collecting them in a photo album. Plus you see everyone else's pictures and can save them. I saw the concrete in the glove idea, etc. too. It's just strolling through pictures and I get my conversation & interaction HERE not there. What is not to like? Summers are just this side of hell, but you don't have to shovel sunshine...

Mallory, I appreciate your directing us to the website. I wouldn't have known about it if you hadn't. I'm not interested in joining a site like that, though. The photos on the Pinterest site are lovely, but it's just not the same as a TV show. Here's why: 1. I can watch TV in the same room with my husband. Computer time is spent alone. Even though we aren't directly interacting with each other, we are doing something in common. We can comment on what we see... We can say, "that's stupid" or "let's try that!" Together time is never a bad thing; computers don't allow any of that. 2. When I want information from the Web, I have to work at it. Click this link, read this, read that, try finding the page I was on yesterday, search for clarification of the info. Make a file so I don't lose it again. When I watch TV, it's all laid out in front of my eyes. For visual learners, presentation is the best way of learning. Learning from TV is much more relaxing to me than learning from the Web. 3. I LOVE my hi-def TV. (Well... "love" is a strong word... But I really like it.) How awesome would a garden tour be in hi-def?! I don't get that on my 17" monitor. There is almost nothing on earth, much less on TV, more detestable than a House Hunters marathon. Egads, save us all! This message has been edited. Last edited by: nettiejay, | ||||
You explained it very well! Thank you! I haven't watched hgtv in years....and I won't until they come back with some garden shows that make sense...not small fortune makeovers or installations. "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
Thank you all for the great comments. My goal isn't to use these boards to push our content on you in an intrusive way, but to get to know you all and be a listener as to what we can do to improve. I'm the new community manager for HGTVGardens.com and want to be helpful to you in any way I can. You have certainly been welcoming and helpful to me! Happy Friday! "Bloom where you are planted." | ||||
You've taken on a tough job, Mallory, but I for one am glad you're here to listen! Happy every day to you! | ||||
Mallory, we all thank you for listening. Just how much influence do we as gardeners have?...any idea? My point is that the last couple of years have set some records in the sale of garden seeds & equipment, etc. Which tells me that not only are us old timers doing veggie gardening, so are a lot of folks who never have before....some because they want to be assured of the quality of their foods (when possible), some to get away from GMO'd foods & some to help keep their food costs down. We are seeing where some have been take to task & even court due to planting their front yards in veggie gardens. Even apartment/condo dwellers are doing some minor gardening in pots if they have a sunny spot available. Sooo, why aren't we seeing some type of gardening show that helps these new comers? One board I visit even has some older widows who are gardening for the first time in their lives. With the cost of everything else going up the retirement funds just aren't stretching as far as most of us had hoped/planned. I know it takes sponsors to get the ball rolling...so what do we need to do to get the sponsors to pay attention? "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence."

Way back in 1932, A.C. Thuras received a patent for a bass reflex ported design, and in 1934, Andre D'Alton was granted a patent for a bandpass design.

Technical Ear Training: Mastering The Art Of The InvisibleJennifer Starkey 12/06/13 05:22 PM,Timothy Ryan describes his job as "dealing with the invisible." As an assistant professor of audio production in the Webster University School of Communications in St. Louis, he knows his students face a unique set of challenges in their training.

Church Sound: Solving Mysteries, Part 3—Sawdust In The WindChris Huff 12/06/13 05:17 PM,This article is provided by Behind The Mixer. The third installment in this mystery series still has me shaking my head… The sound check began just as it always had, but a few days later, I would be armed with a vacuum cleaner. It seemed like every other sound check, but a few minutes into it, a microphone channel went out. More accurately, I stopped getting a signal from a vocal microphone. We had one microphone with a plug… View this post
