Beautiful pillow that will be a great accent to your couch and wonderful addition to your shag rug. Pair it up with a larger size for the ultimate cozy look. The color is a perfect taupe with ombre variation. Nice craftmanship, other than a tag on the outside, inside would have been a better choice.

Customer comments about Tibetan Sheepskin 16sq Stone Pillow:
The coloring was not how it was in the photo, the filling was not feather/down over all poor quality and when I telephoned to speak to someone at the store in Soho they were not helpful nor listened, when I asked for a supervisor they argued when I spoke with one of the managers they did not listen.
Over all bad.

Updated: Jan 30, 2013 6:43 PM
After spending almost a month in a Helena rehab center, a poisoned bald eagle was released back into her natural habitat on Wednesday near Vaughn.
In early January, Miriam Walters and a friend were walking their dogs on her property when they noticed a bald eagle; Walters is no stranger to these regal birds on her land, but this one was different.
Walters recalled, "When she did start to walk, she had a pretty difficult time walking and obviously didn't fly away. So we knew something was wrong."
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service picked up the bird and she was taken to a Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks rehabilitation center in Helena.
They didn't see any physical injuries to the bird, so they performed a routine blood check and received astonishing results.
Lisa Rhodin, FWP wildlife rehab expert, said, "The lead levels are measured in microorganisms per deciliter, and hers were off the scale, even when I diluted the blood."
FWP used a technique called chelation therapy where the kidneys can filter out the toxins, and after more than three weeks of treatment, the eagle was able to be released back into its natural habitat right around breeding season.
Rhodin said, "There's a good chance that she already has a territory here, she has a mate here. So she shouldn't have to fight those battles over again."
Rhodin says bald eagles often mate for life, so while it's uncertain whether this bird had a mate, getting her back out in the wild was a goal they wanted to achieve.
Amy Graham of Benton Lake National Wildlife Refuge said, "She definitely made a pretty amazing recovery. Most birds that have lead poisoning as bad as she did, they don't make it. So it is pretty neat to think that she's flying out around again."

Miami is known for its steamy weather, championship basketball team and, the week of November 11th, the city will be known for books lots of books.
Downtown Miami will be flooded with prolific authors and voracious readers Nov. 11th - 18th, when the Miami Book Fair International comes to town for the 29th year.
Though Miami Dade College has herded in authors from far and wide, some notable presenters hail from much closer to the fairs home.
Miamis mystery, flavor and beauty have inspired local authors such as James Grippando, who spins legal thrillers from the lush backyard of his Coral Gables home; Bunny Yeager, whos sizzling pin-up girl photos captured not only breathtaking girls but also stunning Miami beaches; Raquel Roque, who has preserved Miamis Latin recipes in two cookbooks; and Larry Perez, who feels at home in Floridas wild Everglades.
Heres a look at each of these Miami authors.
Jack Swyteck is a Miami criminal defense attorney who graduated from Coral Gables High and practices in Coconut Grove. His goal: getting people off of murder raps while trying to find love.
Hes the main character in Coral Gables author James Grippandos legal thriller series, in which Miamis real-life beauty and connection to crimes both strange and heinous serve as a backdrop.
Theres no shortage of material to pull from when living in the Sunshine State, Grippando said.
The kind of books I like to write could only be set in Florida, he said, calling South Florida an idea capital for authors.
Not only does Florida have a sort of sexy side to it, but it has that connection it seems to just about every major crime or disaster that hits this country, he said.
Grippando has written 20 novels in his 18-year career, but he didnt set out to become an author. In 1985, Grippando was a young lawyer at a prestigious Miami law firm, but always had dreams of becoming a writer, he said.
Grippando, 54, was practicing law at a time when crime in Miami was at its highest and cocaine cowboys ruled. Along came shows like Miami Vice and, either arrogantly or naively I said, I can do that, and I took a shot.
He still practices law when a case piques his interest, but now Grippandos lush backyard serves as his office. His Golden Retriever, Max, is always close by. Grippando lives near Matheson Hammock Park with his wife and their three children.
Grippando will be on a panel of authors, presenting at 11 a.m. on Nov 17, in room 8302. Hell be alongside Jeffrey Siger (Target Tinos: An Inspector Kaldis Mystery) and Sharon Potts (The Devils Madonna.)
Miami in the 1950s provided no shortage of pretty ladies and beautiful backdrops for Bunny Yeager to photograph. Both helped her get her nude photos into mens magazines around the country and was the only woman of her time to do so.
When I submitted my pictures, I had to submit them to people in New York and Chicago, and they had not seen the scenes that I had in my pictures, she remembered. They just loved the backgrounds that I had. It put me in demand immediately. And all my pictures were in focus and the girls were all gorgeous.
Now, her photos are on display again, some which have never been seen before, in the book Bunny Yeagers darkroom: Pinup photographys golden era, penned and culled by Petra Mason.

Alex was interviewed by Carl Greenwood on 15 February 2006. The interview took place at the interviewees's living room and lasted 29 minutes and 48 seconds.
Changes at Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade
"The Brigade when I joined was a different situation "
The Brigade when I joined was a different situation - it was mainly breeches buoy. We trained for breeches buoy rescues, and it was coming just after the war so they had all the coastguard that did the training were ex-Navy, coming out of the navy, going into the coastguard, so there was a real nautical, naval tradition linked with it, and linked with the Brigade. This of course has changed as the years have gone on. The Brigades spread its wings and from one or two shipwrecks happening occasionally, were now one of the busiest companies on the North East coast.

Voter fraud unit now and warnings of possible voter fraud and -- Wisconsin recall election on Tuesday.
No that's a Republican governor Scott Walker is facing Democrat Tom Barrett the mayor of Milwaukee.
-- Governor Walker recently told the weekly standard quote.
I've always thought in this state close elections presidential election -- it means you probably have to win with at least 53% of the vote.
To account for fraud.
One or two points he -- potentially.
And -- previous the State's former Republican Party chief who now -- the Republican National Committee.
Police says -- status quote riddled with voter fraud some voters we -- to agree others -- next.
-- -- voter fraud could actually swing an election yes.
Yeah I do yeah I think.
It says yeah I think that if that is is a reality of our time.
As I think Wisconsin voters are where I have faith in the electoral.
System I have faith in the people.
You know this is higher -- turns out is going to be done -- the -- -- be cross not the going to be data.
A state officials say they will guard against any possible fraud and have a strong system in place to prevent it.
Kevin Kennedy heads to Wisconsin government accountability board which oversees elections there's -- human driven process there are always people who have been trying to game the system.
You know we'd like all states have.
Crimes for election violations.
You know we often refer to -- election fraud but we punish people.
And there already is voter fraud investigation connected to the recall election.
And -- field near Milwaukee for allegations that several fraudulent absentee ballot applications were submitted.
One voter told us that the campus or asked for his aunt if she supported walker.
And when the voter said he didn't know he was given an absentee ballot application to sign on her behalf.
But officials in the city clerk's office caught it among others say it's apparent voter fraud.
It just takes more work when people try to defraud the system and but we caught it we knew we -- we've never had one slip through sound.
They're not gonna get an extra ballot.
-- won't work.
Could there be voter fraud in this race -- supplies the communications director with -- media trackers which is a conservative watchdog group.
-- -- -- welcome what what are you concerned about.
Well -- as we go into the recall election on Tuesday here in -- state -- Wisconsin Wisconsin has a history of tight elections and narrow outcomes.
And voter fraud could sway the election one way or the other now going into Tuesday the state is at -- disadvantage from where it could be right now.
Keep voting provisions that could have -- -- to protection in the -- belt laws are no longer in place as a Dane County judge.
Has asked for the State's voter -- -- to be suspended ahead of Tuesday's elections so there is -- voter ID at the moment.
There is no voter ID laws at the moment and there's also the fact that an absentee ballots as you mentioned moments ago there are reports.
That some belts have been distributed perhaps improperly.
So as we move forward the integrity of the process could be in question at this moment and really right now.
Wisconsin is already -- three brutal election cycle since 2010 now we're moving into the second round of recall elections on Tuesday.
And any public confidence that could be shaken by the outcomes and by the presence of voter fraud.
Would only -- to the division that we're seeing in the stadium that does not speak well for the outcome that we -- to see on Tuesday in terms of having public confidence at least restored.
In electoral process and state.
While they federal Department of Justice they're sending an election monitors and and and -- filled deputy cart -- O'Brien and you should call the stuff.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- That someone could be intercepting the ballots perhaps what if this storm.
Well I think there's a lot of anecdotal evidence right now and certainly there will be investigations into this it's fascinating to keep in mind though that one video leading organizations that's been responsible for early turnout early voting trails -- in the city of Milwaukee.
It actually has two of their top aides are currently under investigation by the Milwaukee -- district attorney's office for voter fraud committed last year.
And those have been leading the foot of the charge against the states photo ideologue -- -- -- -- -- that many believe.
Whatever at least strengthen the integrity real of the election here those -- to that person leading the charge against the law were actually found guilty of voter fraud in 2008.
So it's -- to see that there really a case of people being investigated and prosecuted for voter fraud.
That are leading the charge and as a voter well what should be a -- if.
You know a lot of a lot of good what a lot of people say it's overblown they say that that there isn't that much in 2004 out of three million votes seven or an eligible in 2008.
Only twenty people were charged the center for media and democracy.
For example says that that it's it's this is overblown here's Lisa graves which was what she told us.
There's a real fear that somebody's people who have been stoked.
On the use a false claims these baseless claims of a one or two point.
One -- two points of election fraud well actually intimidate.
Potential voters.
So what's your reaction of that.
Well certainly -- to see that the voter integrity is now become a partisan issue with the left being as saying there's none here and in the right of course looking at saying there is something here.
Would voter fraud we used to discover after an election that's the unfortunate thing about it they have -- act takes place election outcome comes in.
We can do the outcome of any particular election because of voter fraud.
But the public confidence is shaken when you have just one instance of voter fraud you've brought into question the entire process and that's why needs to be pursued and that's why certainly.
Watchdog organization sisters -- own and others here in the state of Wisconsin are working to make sure.
That's a blue light is shed on this type of stuff because we don't wanna see that the elections tainted and we don't need to see voter fraud bring into question the outcome of -- is audio.
Certainly no one wants to see that Brian -- my thanks so much of the conservative watchdog group media trackers in there is that voter fraud investigation now going on.
Of a handful of ballots missing without a leads and of course if you suspect voter fraud we live there it is voter fraud at foxnews.com has our address for any allegations.

We booked a room which could sleep up to four people. The sofa bed was Extremely comfortable and the room equipped with coffee machine hob, fridge and... microwave. It was however quite a small room and 4 people would have been very crowded. There was also not much storage space and could have benefited from a small chest of draws as non in the room. That said the staff were very helpful and could not do enough to help, Continental Breakfast was lovely ( fresh fruit Cereals and pastries etc) the actual hotel immaculate and tastefully decorated. I would defiantly recommend this hotel and the pretty area of Lutry. After reading the reviews prior to travel I packed the ear plugs to bloke out the bells, this was a good idea! Also don't forget to pick up your free travel card at the hotel to travel round the area and Lausanne as taxis very expensive. oleh Claire dari dari East Lothian UK pada 05/07/2013

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Investigators have accused a man of bringing four homemade bombs into the Wisconsin Capitol.
The man was booked into the Dane County jail Tuesday. Police have recommended prosecutors charge Kvon Smith, 20, with four felony counts of possessing a Molotov cocktail, which generally consists of a bottle full of a flammable liquid and a rag fuse. Police also have recommended one felony count of creating a bomb scare, one felony count of second-degree recklessly endangering safety and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct.
Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne will decide what charges, if any, Smith will face.
Police learned Smith had posted a threat to the capitol on Facebook and arrested him when he entered the building Tuesday afternoon hours before Gov. Scott Walker's State of the State address.

TUCSON - A mother of an 11-year-old daughter called 911 Dec. 29 when she discovered an inappropriate exchange with a stranger on Facebook.
Jesus Ballesteros, 28, was arrested Jan. 3 by Tucson Police and U.S. Marshals after he showed up to meet the girl, Tucson Police spokesman Sgt. Chris Widmer said.
The exchange preceding the meeting included lewd chats and explicit photos, Widmer said. According to the release, Ballesteros wanted to video tape the encounter and offered money for sex.
A subsequent investigation revealed that Ballesteros has made contact with numerous female juveniles with sexual intent, to include sharing of graphic photographs and conversations of a sexual nature.
Detectives also learned that Ballesteros has prior convictions for sexual offenses.
The Tucson Police Department is concerned that there may be other victims within our community.
The Tucson Police Department highly recommends that parents check their children's Facebook and other social media accounts for the below profile picture and profile name.
Anyone locating this individual on their child's social media account is urged to call Detective Dan Barry of TPD's Family and Youth Services Section at 520-837-7596 or 911 immediately.
The Tucson Police Department urges parents to continually monitor their children's Facebook and any other social media Accounts they have access to.
Knowing and monitoring your child's online friends, connections and conversation
is crucial for their safety.
The Tucson Department embraces its role in protecting children in our community and will continue all efforts to identify and apprehend child predators.

In February 2009 I wrote an article for The Wall Street Journal entitled "Reaganomics v Obamanomics," which argued that the emerging outlines of President Obama's economic policies were following in close detail exactly the opposite of President Reagan's economic policies. As a result, I predicted that Obamanomics would have the opposite results of Reaganomics. That prediction seems to be on track.
When President Reagan entered office in 1981, he faced actually much worse economic problems than President Obama faced in 2009. Three worsening recessions starting in 1969 were about to culminate in the worst of all in 1981-1982, with unemployment soaring into double digits at a peak of 10.8%. At the same time America suffered roaring double-digit inflation, with the CPI registering at 11.3% in 1979 and 13.5% in 1980 (25% in two years). The Washington establishment at the time argued that this inflation was now endemic to the American economy, and could not be stopped, at least not without a calamitous economic collapse.
All of the above was accompanied by double -igit interest rates, with the prime rate peaking at 21.5% in 1980. The poverty rate started increasing in 1978, eventually climbing by an astounding 33%, from 11.4% to 15.2%. A fall in real median family income that began in 1978 snowballed to a decline of almost 10% by 1982. In addition, from 1968 to 1982, the Dow Jones industrial average lost 70% of its real value, reflecting an overall collapse of stocks.
President Reagan campaigned on an explicitly articulated, four-point economic program to reverse this slow motion collapse of the American economy:
1. Cut tax rates to restore incentives for economic growth, which was implemented first with a reduction in the top income tax rate of 70% down to 50%, and then a 25% across-the-board reduction in income tax rates for everyone. The 1986 tax reform then reduced tax rates further, leaving just two rates, 28% and 15%.
2. Spending reductions, including a $31 billion cut in spending in 1981, close to 5% of the federal budget then, or the equivalent of about $175 billion in spending cuts for the year today. In constant dollars, nondefense discretionary spending declined by 14.4% from 1981 to 1982, and by 16.8% from 1981 to 1983. Moreover, in constant dollars, this nondefense discretionary spending never returned to its 1981 level for the rest of Reagan's two terms! Even with the Reagan defense buildup, which won the Cold War without firing a shot, total federal spending declined from a high of 23.5% of GDP in 1983 to 21.3% in 1988 and 21.2% in 1989. That's a real reduction in the size of government relative to the economy of 10%.
3. Anti-inflation monetary policy restraining money supply growth compared to demand, to maintain a stronger, more stable dollar value.
4. Deregulation, which saved consumers an estimated $100 billion per year in lower prices. Reagan's first executive order, in fact, eliminated price controls on oil and natural gas. Production soared, and aided by a strong dollar the price of oil declined by more than 50%.
These economic policies amounted to the most successful economic experiment in world history. The Reagan recovery started in official records in November 1982, and lasted 92 months without a recession until July 1990, when the tax increases of the 1990 budget deal killed it. This set a new record for the longest peacetime expansion ever, the previous high in peacetime being 58 months.
During this seven-year recovery, the economy grew by almost one-third, the equivalent of adding the entire economy of West Germany, the third-largest in the world at the time, to the U.S. economy. In 1984 alone real economic growth boomed by 6.8%, the highest in 50 years. Nearly 20 million new jobs were created during the recovery, increasing U.S. civilian employment by almost 20%. Unemployment fell to 5.3% by 1989.
The shocking rise in inflation during the Nixon and Carter years was reversed. Astoundingly, inflation from 1980 was reduced by more than half by 1982, to 6.2%. It was cut in half again for 1983, to 3.2%, never to be heard from again until recently. The contractionary, tight-money policies needed to kill this inflation inexorably created the steep recession of 1981 to 1982, which is why Reagan did not suffer politically catastrophic blame for that recession.
Real per-capita disposable income increased by 18% from 1982 to 1989, meaning the American standard of living increased by almost 20% in just seven years. The poverty rate declined every year from 1984 to 1989, dropping by one-sixth from its peak. The stock market more than tripled in value from 1980 to 1990, a larger increase than in any previous decade.
In The End of Prosperity, supply side guru Art Laffer and Wall Street Journal chief financial writer Steve Moore point out that this Reagan recovery grew into a 25-year boom, with just slight interruptions by shallow, short recessions in 1990 and 2001. They wrote:
We call this period, 1982-2007, the twenty-five year boom–the greatest period of wealth creation in the history of the planet. In 1980, the net worth–assets minus liabilities–of all U.S. households and business … was $25 trillion in today's dollars. By 2007, … net worth was just shy of $57 trillion. Adjusting for inflation, more wealth was created in America in the twenty-five year boom than in the previous two hundred years.
What is so striking about Obamanomics is how it so doggedly pursues the opposite of every one of these planks of Reaganomics. Instead of reducing tax rates, President Obama is committed to raising the top tax rates of virtually every major federal tax. As already enacted into current law, in 2013 the top two income tax rates will rise by nearly 20%, counting as well Obama's proposed deduction phase-outs.
I am not such a fan of Obama, but they started with very different problems. For one thing (and the thing that seems to be the focus of this article), tax rates were extremely different at the beginning of their terms. Reagan cut taxes from extremely high rates to extremely low rates. Obama is not (as the article misleads by using absolute % for Reagan and then growth % for Obama – immediate proof that the article has a bullshit agenda) pushing rates anywhere where they were before Reagan. Not even a little bit near. The article insinuates that this is the plan. Again, I am not saying that I like Obama's policies or that they are good, I am just saying that this article is not objectively approaching the claims being made. At least make claims using numbers that don't mislead or you have no credibility in your claims at all.
Allthough the author of the article makes some very strong points. It has failed to recognize numerous things between reaganomics and Obamanomics.
First being the time period. In the 1980′s the cost of living was significantly cheaper than the cost of living now. Also how voters and Americans were brought up then Was different then they are being brought up now. These are different people than were living in America in the 1980′s.
Second being the fact that when the recession was happening in the 80′s it was a post war time recession, and today's recession is currently still in a wartime recession.
Also the fact that Reagan was a republican helped him get what he wanted done. Whereas Obama is a Democrat, who is being opposed on numerous fronts by the Republicans.
Also during that time period there where Millions more jobs in America. But since then Al lot of those jobs have been outsourced to third-world countries for cheaper labor.
Therefore I will have to deny the comparison between the two presidents.
I think this is a spin-doctor moment: Even with the Reagan defense buildup, which won the Cold War without firing a shot, total federal spending declined from a high of 23.5% of GDP in 1983 to 21.3% in 1988 and 21.2% in 1989. That's a real reduction in the size of government relative to the economy of 10%.
If the National Debt in 1980 was a quaint $900 billion and a less-than-quaint $3.5 trillion when President Reagan completed his efforts, why is that a reduction? From $1 trillion to $3.5 trillion is an increase! The National Debt is a future tax increase with interest tacked on.
Deregulation: It seems that there is Good Deregulation and Bad Deregulation. The Taxpayers had to Bail the S&L institutions to the tune of $160.1 Billion dollars (net loss of $124 billion). This was the first banking crisis in since the Great Depression. Funny how that happened. Huh? Of course, the most recent financial calamity also caused by financial sector deregulation is further proof that deregulation works all the time every time.
Over simplification: "the Reagan defense buildup, which won the Cold War without firing a shot…"
I am pretty sure the complete and utter incompetence of the Soviet economy would have collapsed under the wait of its' own construction. Other ingredients that are not mentioned in this "perfect experiment" are: the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and its drain on the USSR, Gorbachev's understanding of the weakness of the Soviet economy, and his efforts at Glasnost and Perestroika.
To suggest that the Soviet Union collapsed strictly because the 1981 tax cuts and Trillions in defense spending is an overreach.
Economic expansions:
March 1991 — March 2001: 120 months
February 1961 — December 1969: 106 months
November 1982 — July 1990: 92 months
The salient difference is Reagan loved America and wanted the best for her. Obama is trying to reduce America to 3rd world status because of his hatred for our democracy, Christian roots and our constitution.
Obama wants Islam to rise. Like it or not, it is the fact.
Have to take issue with your rosy memories of Reagan.
1. The inflation rate at the end of the Carter presidency was higher than now, precisely because in those days the Federal Reserve Board did not fear or fight inflation the way it does now. Paul Volker and Alan Greenspan brought that aggressive anti-inflation gospel to the Fed, with laudable results. Had the latter not totally dropped the ball on the topic of Wall Street Investment Bank oversight he might be remembered fondly today. Instead he now looks like a happy-talk purveying bumbler, reminiscent of the Roman emperor Nero.
2.Fuel price controls were instituted because gasoline prices were crazy and did not reflect supply/demand priniciples at the time of the Arab oil embargo. In '77′-78, when the price of gas first hit $1/gal near the George Washington Bridge and you could only purchase $2 worth, there were reportedly numerous fully loaded oil tankers moored offshore anticipating further price rises. Twenty miles away on the NY Thruway, the price was 47.9/gal. Price controls as a strategy were more fashionable back then. Don't blame Pres. Carter. Richard Nixon used them too.
3. Reagan's economic policies were not his own – they were provided by a team of advisors, chief among them the budget director David Stockman who has since gotten religion big time and denounced them as bad policy. Bad policy for whom?, you may ask. Well, for the average American citizen, is the answer. The very concept of "trickle-down" economics was perhaps the most self-serving and irresponsible bill of goods ever foisted on the American people by a president. As a deception, it ranks with the prevailing 1920′s belief that buying stocks on margin was a great way to get rich. Yet today, we have Romney preaching the same sermon, evidently oblivious to the simple truth that when you cut taxes on wealthy people to promote growth and wage a simultaneous war on organized labor, then you eventually weaken and shrink the middle class. By the way, I say this as a wealthy person (a one-percenter) who has never belonged to a union.
For you to suggest that the economic troubles in 1979 following three recessions since 1969 were a problem even vaguely comparable in severity to the potential economic wreckage we faced in 2008 suggests that you might profit by going over to NYU and auditing ECON 101. The biggest decision Reagan had to make upon taking office was whether to make a symbolic point by dismantling the solar panels on the roof. The first of many bad decisions. On his first day in office, Obama was handed a pending world-wide financial collapse comparable in scale to the crash of 1929. The only reason we did not have bread lines around the world is because stimulatory policies, necessarily increasing the deficit, were pursued. There was essentially not much choice, as you well know.
By the way, political parties were not to blame here. Bill Clinton, after all, signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, which set us up for the mess that ensued and the mess we're still in now. It would be fitting for Phil Gramm, when he dies, to be buried in a plot next to Herbert Hoover. Remember that it took more that ten years and the beginning of a World War to fully free our nation from the hangover of the great depression. To argue that Obama should have solved America's economic woes in 4 years, when the've been building for more than twenty, is simply not fair.
If Obama did fall short, it was in not taking on the investment banking people with a call for aggressive re-regulation. Joe Stiglitz should have been Treasury Secretary. Had that happened, Elizabeth Warren would have gotten an important job, too. We would then have something resembling commerce, instead of the prevailing superfast computerized confusion that prevails on the street today. Disturbingly, members of both political parties seem to think it is important to curry favor with Wall Street. If Obama has a tragic flaw this is it. It comes with the territory of being president, I guess.

Today is day four of the Food Stamp Challenge, and so far, so good.
I had to skip out on my Friday Starbucks run. I only allow myself Starbucks once a week, because the cost can run up quickly. Other than that, it's been just fine.
I baked the potato this morning, so that I would have something different for dinner tonight. You learn to be creative when you have a limited supply of food. So, tonight I'll be eating half of a baked potato topped with the black beans I made earlier this week and salsa that I already had in the fridge. I think it sounds quite tasty.
Here's what I've eaten so far today, and what's for dinner:
1 cup oatmeal
1 banana (This was my last banana, so breakfast will be sparse for the rest of the challenge. In hindsight I should have eaten half of a banana with breakfast everyday instead of the whole thing. As for fruit, I only have one apple left.)
Leftover Beef and Rice Florentine (find the recipe in the previous blog)
Half of a baked potato topped with black beans and salsa
1 cup yogurt
I will roast the chicken fryer this weekend, to give me some variety for the rest of the week. I've a little apprehensive about roasting a whole chicken. I'll let you know how it goes.
If you are thinking about trying the challenge or just want to eat healthier on a budget, check out http://www.mypyramid.gov/ You can plug in your height, weight and age, and it will tell you how many servings you need each day of the food groups based on the dietary guidelines. It helps you tailor your menu for the week.
Also Texas A&M recently released an article on healthy eating during the holidays. With Thanksgiving around the corner, I thought this was very helpful.
The challenge should be harder this weekend. We have family coming into town, and they'll bringing lots of food. However, I'm a very dedicated person, so once I start something I don't stop.
I'll continue blogging this weekend. Hope you have a great weekend! Meredith

This Stuff Works!
By Linda
from Hamilton Ontario
I bought this for a trip to Mexico in March and was so happy that I did. Despite my efforts to lather up with sunscreen I ended up missing a few spots and burned very badly on one arm and shoulder. This product saved the week. I applied it morning and night after my burn and only peeled a tiny bit (skin was blistered so it was inevitable). All the other areas that got minor burns never peeled and I really believe this product was the reason. It feels great when applied and absorbs quickly. This is a definitely a "must have" if you plan to spend time in the sun. Buy it. You won't regret it!

We have three Kalaya products that we ALWAYS have on hand - Kalaya ultimate pain rub, Kalaya body lotion, and our new BF (best find) is the Kalaya Restore After sun. We used this product every day on our Hawaiian vacation. I'm certain that it prevented my arm from peeling after a long day in the sun. Thank you Kalaya!!

There are three guiding principles behind the corporate web standards - corporate image, usability and accessibility. They are of equal importance and must be considered when producing any information that will appear on the web.
Hantsweb is the public face of Hampshire County Council on the web. When producing information to appear within Hantsweb we must ensure that we are providing a high quality, professional and reliable service to the public. By following the corporate web standards and the corporate image, usability and accessibility principles, we are also ensuring that we are achieving our goals as defined in the corporate strategy.
The corporate image assists the user in navigating the site and lends credibility to the origin and reliability of the information published. Importantly for any web site it provides a consistent and professional image.
A usable site supports its visitors in achieving their goals easily and efficiently and in doing so delivers the goals of Hampshire County Council. It inspires confidence in the site and visitors will be keen to return. In short: usability is absolutely critical to a web site's success.
Good usability can de defined as a product that is:
Consistent in its behaviour
On a web site, this means designing an intuitive user interface and populating the site with content that is easy to find and simple to navigate.
There is no single style formula for ensuring usability, however ensuring consistency is an important factor which is why you must follow the corporate standards. To produce a successful site, feedback from 'real users' should be incorporated at every stage of your design process - planning, testing, revisions and updates.
First and foremost Hampshire County Council is a public service provider so we have to provide accessible information.
The Disability Discrimination Act has brought about new rights for disabled people. Employers and Service Providers must not discriminate against a person for a reason connected with their disability. They must also make reasonable adjustments to the way they offer their Services. Accessibility, however, is not just about ensuring disabled people can access information. It is also about ensuring that the wide variety of potential users and devices can all gain access to information, thereby maximising the audience and letting users experience the pages in the way they choose.
An accessible site is one that accommodates the full range of users. Designing for accessibility therefore means accepting that, for online information, there is:
no standard device for browsing information
An accessible site does not exclude anybody due to:
Accessible sites prioritise clear content, structure and ease of navigation over frilly aspects of design, however they need not be visually unattractive, nor are they prevented from utilising the latest web technologies provided that all information is still accessible to users.
The COI web standards and guidelines insist that all government web sites, central or local, must comply with the W3C's guidelines on accessibility.
If you want to know more about the subjects of accessibility and usability there are a number of sites available to you, or contact the Hantsweb Team.

Veneers for teeth can be used to correct a wide range of both physical and cosmetic problems, including stained teeth, chipped or broken teeth, unsightly gaps, crooked teeth and excessive erosion. Veneers for teeth act like false nails that are cemented to the original tooth to create a more attractive façade. Good teeth veneers last between 12 months and 10 years, depending on the type of veneer, the nature of the original problem and the skill of the dentist.
There are several different kinds and each has its own advantages. For example, composite veneers for teeth are considerably cheaper and easier to fit than other options but they do stain more easily and don't last as long. More durable porcelain veneers are much more stain resistant and last much longer but are more expensive. At the far end of the scale, specialist, branded veneers for teeth involve the least trauma to the teeth and are the most durable but they are by far the most expensive. So how do you choose?
This article on tooth veneers is by Kathryn Senior, a freelance journalist who writes health, medical, biological, and pharmaceutical articles for national and international journals, newsletters and web sites.
Composite veneers have the advantage of being fitted in situ, in your mouth, on a single visit. The material is layered, shaped and polished there and then and you leave with a completely new smile. This is a considerable advantage over porcelain veneers for teeth, which need to be manufactured off site, leaving you with a temporary fitting for several days.
Composite veneers can start from £500 per tooth, however since the skill of the dentist is crucial to the process, it is worth paying more for a dentist of experience and repute. This type of veneers for teeth will last between 12 months and 2 years and are prone to chipping and staining. You may find that the initial savings you make by choosing composite veneers for teeth are soon wiped out by the need to replace them so regularly.
Pressed ceramic veneers are also known as porcelain veneers and consist of a single shaped layer that is machined to match the patient's precise specifications. These veneers tend to last longer and be more resilient to chips and stains. However, this strength and durability comes at a cost, as pressed ceramic veneers for teeth tend to be thicker, requiring more of the healthy tooth enamel to be removed to allow for fitting.
Pressed ceramic veneers for teeth also tend to be a single uniform colour, which may not look natural in the mouth. They can be adapted to look more natural, using feldspathic techniques, but this will inevitably add to the costs.
Feldspathic veneers are similar in strength and durability to pressed ceramic veneers, but they have a much more natural appearance. This is because they are created in layers, allowing variations of colour and opacity to be built into the veneer. Highly skilled ceramicists can create veneers that are works of art and indistinguishable from the rest of your teeth.
Feldspathic veneers for teeth can be made to be very thin, reducing the amount of natural enamel that needs to be removed prior to fitting.
At the top of the range, there are several 'brand name' teeth veneers that have been developed by specialist laboratories to reduce the thickness still further or enhance the look. These specialist veneers for teeth include:
In each case, the veneers are made by specialist labs from patented materials, and as such are only available from specialist suppliers. Naturally, these premium veneers for teeth also come at a premium price.
As you can see, there is a considerable range of options available to you when choosing veneers. As with most purchases, you should always take expert advice and choose the best that you can afford. Your dentist will be able to advise you on which veneers would suit your problem best. With new products and techniques coming on to the market all the time, it is always worth researching the latest developments online before making your final choice.
Remember, once you have committed to veneers for teeth, you will probably be stuck with them for life, so you need to factor the costs you are likely to incur in the future as well as what you can afford right now.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
OTEC Country Notes
St. Lucia
In 1983, as a part of a commitment to develop alternative energy systems, the Government of St. Lucia welcomed the opportunity to be part of an OTEC initiative that included the design and construction of a 10 MW closed cycle floating OTEC demonstration plant off Soufriere. Hydrographic surveys in 1985 confirmed that the 1 000 m contour was less than 3 km from shore, with cold water in the volcanic canyon adjacent to Petit Piton and Gros Piton. This landfall was also close to the electrical grids. The surface temperature of the sea on that part of the west coast never falls below 25o C, reaching 27/28o C in summer.
The UK-designed plant was provided with a fully costed proposal by a merchant bank, which showed that with construction commencing in 1985, and operation from 1989, the OTEC plant would show a cost benefit over oil-fired plant from 1994, the higher capital cost of OTEC being balanced by the 'free fuel', whereas there were ongoing fuel costs for the diesel plant. However, the final decision was to go for a diesel plant, with the whole of the capital cost being funded by another country.

Thread: 2.2L motor in S-10 won't start
Hybrid View
2.2L motor in S-10 won't start
My friend's S-10 broke down today and won't start. I'm not sure of the year, but it's a late 90s-mid 2000s S-10 with a 2.2L engine. She described that she was driving on the interstate, and noticed the truck was losing power from the engine. She then started hearing a clunking sound from around the center of the firewall. She downshifted and the truck started slowing down more. Also the side tank of the radiator cracked spewing coolant. Now, when you turn the key to start the truck, the engine turns over with no odd sounds, but it doesn't start. It seems to spin as if it isn't getting compression on any cylinders.
I am truly clueless as to what the issue could be. I thought it could be that she threw a rod, but it doesn't make sense the engine's not making any clunking noises. The head gasket could have blown, but what are the odds that it blew on all 4 cylinders to the point that it won't start. There could have been some way valves got stuck or bent open, but again, all 4 cylinders?
Any ideas? We're going to start pulling the intake and head off tommorow since whatever's wrong will almost certainly involve pulling the head.Christopher

Mystery solved. But, before I reveal the answer why the truck wouldn't start, a little narrative...
So this morning we get on the truck. Start with a compression test. Grab the first cylinder and start cranking; 15psi. Well, that's sooo not right. Stop compression testing there because there's obviously something wrong. So, we spend several hours pulling things to get to the head. Finally get to the head and pull it off the block and set it on the ground. The intake runners are dirty and wet. We start looking at the head gasket looking for breaks that could have indicated a blown head gasket and found none. I start looking at the head again and noticed a slight issue....the head has a couple extra holes in it that it shouldn't have:
So, it appears the engine was running lean and consuming the aluminum of the head as fuel. For how long, I dunno, but the hole in the second cylinder's pretty big. So, it's going to need a new head and gaskets. The piston tops have some powdered aluminum or sand on it, but we should be able to clean it off.
How do the injectors look? Fuel Pump? Those holes would cause no compression!!
Fuel filter's going to be changed and the injectors will be getting soaked in injector cleaner before being reinstalled. After the truck is back together and running, it will be brought to a shop for a proper fuel system service using the specialized machine to ensure the injectors are in peak condition.
And yep, those holes would definitely contribute to low or no compression. What's even more interesting is the 15psi was measured on cylinder 1, which had to significant visible signs of the aluminum getting eaten. The valve from cylinder 3 won't close properly, not that that would have helped anything.
Didn't see that coming!

be on the sup ct...she lost her law license..............but lets just ignore that.................
Both Obamas lost their law licenses because of unethical behavior.These charlatans must be thoroughly exposed and discredited.
I just wish this horrid wretched woman would go away. Way too much Michelle.
Most of her moves are related to her bowels. That´s why the first thing she could think about to keep people from voting was an overflowing toilet - very common wherever she´s at.
Affirmative-action "education," affirmative-action "career" and no accomplishments, none, ever.
I think the author meant bigger things behind, not bigger things ahead.
FTA...who spent the past four years seeking to better the lives of military families and fighting to end childhood obesity...And I´m the queen of Romania.
Orange jumpsuit works for me. I bet she would look great in orange and she would still be living on us.
She will be soaking up as many perks of the office as she can via trips, shopping and parties. THAT is why she wanted 4 more years.
I would get kicked off of here if I said what I am thinking about this syrupy article about the linebacker. The sad thing is that some simps actually think she is smart, likeable and is a good mother and wife. reggie love???
She would be perfect for "Vacation Without A Budget" network. Other than that, she´s useless.
Darn, #10. You said it first and are exactly right. I nearly threw up reading this tripe. The idea of Big Moo doing anything except take taxpayer money to entertain herself is preposterous. As for her being "smart?" She may be a peg up from Barbra Streisand but that´s max. I live for the day she and jug ears go away, take the spawn and the MIL and leave.
I wish her next move was out of the White House!
Why don´t I believe anything she says?
I´m going to read about Kate being preggers instead. Prettier pictures.http://www.lucianne.com/thread/?artnum=714214

I´m sure she´ll do something utterly amazing...like redesign the Twinkie.

FTA-one of the most skilled politicians of our time - superwoman - her previous career "working on public health care".This woman is ´none of the above´. Four more years, but already I´m counting the days until she is out of our White House.
What is going on with her neck line in the photo? Strange-looking cleavage, too.....
We know she has painted on cleavage in the past (she has none), but this is ridiculous...or is it graffiti? Or a tattoo?
Oops, someone messed up this photoshop!
FTA: she "could have bigger things ahead."Or behind.Ramona (the Pest)
That is one strange chest.If she had an ounce of common sense, and unfortunately, she doesn´t, she would talk to young women about getting an education and not becoming a burden on society. However, she is the role model for sticking it to de man.
I´ve got a couple of next moves for this angry harridan. She could star in the next Star Wars movie due to come out in 2015. Either that or the next "Gorillas in the Mist" movie with Sigorney Weaver.

Whether you are building a new home or retrofiiting an older one (like me), take time to evaluate the hot water system. After all, estimates report that as much as 30% of a home's energy budget is consumed by heating water.
My new "old house" came complete with an old, rusted gas, tank hot water heater in the attic that was dying…well, dead. The question was not "should it be replaced?" but rather "should it be replaced with a similar model or a new tankless system?"
Related: 12 Ways to Put Your Home on an Energy Diet– TODAY!
A traditional water heater continuously heats water in the tank regardless of whether it is being used. By comparison, the newer tankless designs heat water only when there is demand for it. Less stored water to heat…less cost. And, let's not forget, more compact and wall-mounted designs.
I did some research on water heating in general—and tankless hot water heaters specifically—and here is what I learned:
Size Matters: Tankless hot water heaters are available in room (i.e. sufficient for a large bathroom) or whole house sizes. Calculate how many appliances or fixtures need hot water to determine the best size unit for your home. For me, a whole-house system was required.
Fuel Type: Hot water heaters are available in either electric or gas (natural and propane) models. If you are considering electric, check for voltage and amperage requirements. The gas version will need some electric to operate, but venting will be the bigger issue.
Location: If you live further north, your ground water will be colder than if you reside in the southern or western part of the U.S. The temperature of the water will affect the speed and flow.
Know the Flow: If you think you will need to run the dishwasher while someone else is showering, calculate a larger gallons-per-minute (GPM) to meet your overall water needs. Take into account water usage, too: A bathroom needs less water than a kitchen; a dishwasher less than a shower, etc.
Look into Rebates: Many utilities offer incentives and you may benefit from state tax credits as well. Investigate both to make sure you meet the requirements and reap the full benefits.
Understand the Payback: In general, a tankless hot water heater will cost you more upfront—the average between $800 to $1,150 (plus installation), compared to traditional tank water heaters at $450-$750 (plus installation). Balance the cost of your unit with your ongoing operating costs. According to the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy website, tankless water heaters can be 24 to 34 percent more efficient than a traditional tank-style water heater depending on a home's daily hot-water demand.
I chose a Rinnai tankless hot water heater for my home.

Anyone walking into the main legislative building today is greeted by a most unseasonable sight -- Christmas trees on the grand staircase suddenly stripped bare of their brightly lit decorations.
Could it be some bulbs burned out and the Grinch fetched them to fix in his workshop?
Alas, no. Even the Grinch doesn't come here.
The legislature is so devoid of workers and maintenance staff over the holiday break that the elves file the decorations away before Santa even comes.
As for the cafeteria, it's closed next week too. No matter. Roast beast is a feast we can't stand in the least.

Chester Co - Brandywine Creek Road Bridge Rehab
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that construction will begin Monday, March 4 to repair and improve the structurally-deficient Brandywine Creek Bridges over Buck Run and Doe Run in Newlin Township, Chester County.
"We are rebuilding these two structurally-deficient bridges to provide Brandywine Creek Road motorists with safe, sound bridges for decades to come," PennDOT District Executive Lester C. Toaso said.
Brandywine Creek Road will be closed to through traffic during construction. Motorists will be detoured over Strasburg Road and Stargazer Road. Local access will be maintained up to the construction zone. Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the area. The road is scheduled to reopen in July.
The one-span, stone masonry arch bridge was built in 1937. The structure is 68 feet long and 19 feet wide. Crews will improve and strengthen the bridge by removing the existing earth fill above the arch barrel and replace it with reinforced concrete. The plan also includes the installation of guide rail.
The two-span, steel I-beam bridge over Buck Run and Doe Run was built in 1937. The structure is 72 feet long and 21 feet wide. The weight restricted bridge, which is posted with a 30-ton weight limit, carries 251 vehicles a day. Crews will reconstruct and repair the substructure, replace steel stringer with concrete beams, and reinforce concrete bridge deck. They will also repair the support abutments and bridge piers. Once the bridge repairs are completed the bridge will not be weight restricted.
The bridge improvements are part of PennDOT's $7,488,752 project to rehabilitate eight deteriorated bridges in Chester and Delaware counties.
J.D. Eckman, of Atglen, Chester County is the general contractor on the project which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds. The entire project is expected to finish in April 2014.
PennDOT reminds motorists they can log on to www.511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffic conditions on major highways before heading out.
