Making Flavored Vinegars
Liven up your meals and extend your garden enjoyment with flavored vinegars. Gather glass jars and bottles free of nicks and cracks. Use non-corrodible metal or plastic screw on caps or new pre-sterilized corks. Wash and rinse thoroughly then sterilize the bottles by immersing them in boiling water for 10 minutes. You'll fill the bottles while still warm. Place 3 or 4 sprigs of washed fresh herbs in each container. Wash the herbs and blot dry. Then dip in a 1 teaspoon bleach and 6 cup water solution, rinse with cold water and pat dry. Heat the vinegar to about 190 degrees and pour over the herbs in your warm clean jars. Leave about ¼ inch of space between the vinegar and jar opening. Wipe the rims and attach the lids. Store them in a cool dark place. Allow to sit for 3 to 4 weeks, strain and rebottle. A bit more information: Don't stop with herbs. Try creating fruit flavored vinegars. For more details on this and safely preserving your garden harvest, click here.

Drying and Preserving Hot Chili Peppers
Don't let those hot chili peppers go to waste. Use them fresh, preserve or give as gifts. Chili ristras are not only decorative, but a traditional way of drying and storing hot red chili peppers for future meals. Create your own ristra with cotton string, red chili peppers and a series of knots to secure the peppers onto the string and eventually the twine. Or dry your peppers in a dehydrator or on a foil lined cookie sheet in the oven. Wipe the peppers clean and spread in a single layer. Speed up the process by slicing through the peppers or dicing into smaller pieces. The peppers are dry and ready for storage when they are dark red, shrunken, but still flexible. Thoroughly dried peppers can be crushed into flakes. Or try canning, freezing or pickling a few peppers to enjoy throughout the winter. And be sure to wear gloves and wash hands thoroughly when you're done. A bit more information: Always label peppers at harvest. Some hot peppers, like Hungarian half sharp peppers, look just like the banana pepper. Try using separate harvest pails or labeled plastic bags to separate the sweet and hot peppers.

Landscape Plans & Planting Records
Fading plant labels and disappearing tags can make planning and maintaining your garden a bit challenging. Avoid these frustrations by writing it down. Use a piece of paper and sketch out the shape of your garden. Don't worry about the artistic value or scale. Right now you just want to capture the general location and name of the plants in your garden. You can fine tune the design when time allows. Write the name of the plant at its approximate location. Or better yet use numbers for each plant and create a list to accompany the plan. You may want to record additional information about each plant such as where it was purchased, when it was planted and the like. If you still have the plant tags you may want to keep these for future reference. Place them in a page protector or container or attach them to the garden map. A bit more information: Put your cell phone camera to work. Use it to take pictures of your garden, plants and tags throughout the season. It is a convenient way to record the information while in the garden. For more gardening tips, how-to videos, podcasts and more, visit www.melindamyers.com

Tips for Proper Tree Planting
Fall is a great time to plant trees. Follow these important planting tips to insure the health and longevity of your plants. Make sure the root flare, the place where the roots flare away from the trunk, is at or slightly above the soil surface. Dig the planting hole the same depth as the distance between the root flare and bottom of the root ball. Digging deeper can result in the soil settling and creating a water collecting depression around your tree. Roughen the sides of the planting hole to avoid glazed soil that can prevent roots from growing into the surrounding soil. Water thoroughly whenever the top 4 to 6 inches of soil are crumbly and slightly moist. Spread a 2 to 3 inch layer of wood chips over the surrounding soil. And pull the mulch away from the trunk of the tree to prevent rot and disease. Wait a year to fertilize your newly planted tree. A bit more information: No need to stake most newly planted trees. Staking should only be done for bare root trees, trees with large canopies and small root balls, and those exposed to high winds.

Colorado Blue Spruce
Colorado blue spruce are a favorite tree of many gardeners. Their bluish green needles and pyramidal shape are a nice addition to the landscape. But several diseases can kill branches and distort their beauty. One such disease is Needle cast. It's usually not deadly, but it ruins the beauty and screening value the trees provide. Promptly remove and destroy infected branches to help slow the spread of this disease. Disinfect your tools with a one part bleach and nine parts water or 70% alcohol solution between cuts. Make sure your trees receive sufficient water during dry periods, mulch the soil and give them plenty of room for light and air to reach all parts of the plant. Copper containing fungicides are listed as effective against needle-cast and some formulations are considered organic. Proper timing and thorough coverage are critical for effective control. A bit more information: One of the other common disease problems on blue spruce is cytospora canker. There is no effective chemical control. Removal of diseased branches, mulching and proper watering can minimize the damage. For more gardening tips, how-to videos, podcasts and more, visit www.melindamyers.com

Moss in the Lawn
Moss gardens are a beautiful trend in the gardening world. But for many gardeners moss in the lawn and garden is a source of frustration. Moss, like other lawn weeds, is an indication of poor growing conditions. This unwanted plant thrives in shade as well as compacted, poorly drained, acidic soil. Correct the cause and you will eliminate the problem for years to come. Improve drainage and reduce compaction by adding several inches of compost or other organic matter to the top 6 to 8 inches of soil. Core aeration of the lawn can also help with compacted soil. Increase the light reaching the grass by having a certified arborist thin the crown of overhead trees. Only use lime if a soil test indicates your soil is too acidic. There are moss killers on the market, but if you don't eliminate the cause you will be fighting this weed for years. A bit more information: If it is too difficult or impossible to eliminate the cause of the problem, consider embracing moss as a part of the landscape. Many gardeners pay money for the very plant you are trying to eliminate. Add a few steppers for a walkway or add a few stones and call it a moss garden. Many gardeners in your situation have quit fighting the moss and embraced it as a groundcover. In fact, you will see moss for sale from several gardening sources.

Poor Garden Harvest
Blame it on the weather. This could be one cause for a poor garden harvest. Late spring frosts can damage the flowers preventing pollination. Cool wet weather reduces bee activity and extremely hot dry weather can also prevent flowering or cause blossom drop and all can reduce our harvest. But we also can be the culprit. Overfertilization promotes lots of leaves and stems and discourages or prevents flowers and fruits. Growing plants in too much shade can also prevent flowering and fruit production. Some plants need a male and female or two different varieties to insure pollination, fertilization and fruit production. Don't let all this dissuade you from growing your own produce. Just do a bit of reading and be sure to check the plant tags and seed packets when planning your garden and purchasing your plants. And if things don't work out – just blame it on the weather. A bit more information: Not sure if you have a male or female plant? Take a closer look at the flowers. Female flowers contain a swollen vase-like structure called a pistil. Male flowers have long, thin filament or pin-like structures called stamens. Some flowers are "perfect" and contain both the male and female parts.

New Ways to Display Pumpkins
Fall is pumpkin time. Find new ways to display these fall favorites. Scoop out the inside and use it for a planter. Fill with potting mix - you'll have a biodegradable pot for the compost pile when finished - or set a planted container inside. Try an ornamental cabbage, short ornamental grass or trailing pansies like cool wave for a fun fall container. Or carve an opening in the side of your pumpkin after removing the center. Create a fall or Halloween display inside. Use faux moss, figurines and your imagination. Scoop out the insides of small pumpkins and use them for vases to create a fun fall centerpiece for your table. Or use them as soup bowls for butternut squash or your other favorite fall soup. Or leave them intact and set them in your container gardens to fill voids or add some fall interest to your plantings. And add a few to your indoor planters as well. A bit more information: Large pumpkins and squash make great additions to the fall garden. Set them in voids, in containers or on top of hanging baskets that are a bit thin on top.

Plant Some Animal Resistant Bulbs this Fall
Don't let flower hungry wildlife stop you from planting spring flowering bulbs. Plant a few animal resistant bulbs in your garden this fall for added color and beauty next spring. Start off the season with a few minor bulbs. Winter aconite and snowdrops are some of the first bulbs to appear in spring. Mix grape hyacinths with daffodils to double your flower power and pop in some Siberian squills for a bit of blue in the spring garden. Try little Tommies, botanically known as Crocus tomassinanus. Garden catalogues claim and I have found them to be resistant to squirrels. Daffodils are well known for surviving hungry animals and now there are lots of new varieties to choose from. And don't forget to try some alliums you may know as ornamental onions. There are small and large flowered varieties and those that bloom in spring, summer or fall. A bit more information: Consider Camassia with blue flower spikes that resemble hyacinth, but tolerate partial shade. Snowflakes (Leucojum) Autumn crocus (Clochicum), Fritillaria and of course hyacinths are a few other animal-resistant bulbs. Southern gardeners need to select low chill varieties or use precooled bulbs if their winters are too warm for forcing spring flowering bulbs into bloom.

Cadel Evans secured his third place overall Sunday at the Critérium du Dauphiné by sprinting to third place on the final stage while winning the points classification.
'Week of Hard Racing'
Daniel Moreno (Katusha Team) attacked in the final 300 meters to take the win ahead of Luis-Leon Sanchez (Rabobank Cycling Team) and Evans, who said he was a bit concerned after teammate Tejay van Garderen was lost to a flat tire with four kilometers to go. "Tejay was going to be my main guy to help me in the last kilometer or two," Evans said. "So I was a bit unlucky that I was left alone. I was looking at possibly improving my classification." Bradley Wiggins (Sky Procycling) took the overall victory by 1:17 over his teammate, Michael Rogers, who finished nine seconds ahead of Evans to keep him in third and add to the Tour de France champion's runner-up finishes here in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011. "I came here to try and win, but I was beaten by a better team and a better guy," Evans said. "It was a week of hard racing and a good bit of training toward July and hopefully my big form of the year so far."
Final Dress Rehearsal
BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said his squad performed well in its final dress rehearsal for the Tour de France. Evans received plenty of help throughout the 124.5 km final stage, including pacemaking by Philippe Gilbert, Manuel Quinziato and Steve Morabito on the Côte de la Vernaz, Michael Schär and George Hincapie up the Col du Corbier and Schär, Moinard and van Garderen on the final climb to the finish. "I think we had a good week working all together," Lelangue said. "We showed the team is ready and that we can work well for a leader." Lelangue said Evans will use the final three weeks before the Tour to train in the mountains and put in more time on his BMC timemachine TM01 in preparation for the time trials. "We'll keep to the plan of last year," Lelangue said.

From Dilma Rousseff of Brazil to Angela Merkel of Germany, women are now heads of states in many countries across the globe. Their elections are indeed huge symbolic victories for the advancement of women. However, of the world's 195 countries, few are presidents and prime ministers and roughly 20 percent of elected parliamentarians are women.
Not only do women still account for a fraction of business, university and NGO leaders, they still struggle for equal protection under the law in many parts of the world where they can't vote, inherit land or challenge divorce or custody laws.
Our Accomplishments
Global Fund for Women has
- Boosted women's political participation and representation in community governance structures and national parliaments in Afghanistan, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Fiji, Mauritania, Mongolia, and elsewhere. Women now hold the highest office in 20 countries.
- Supported reform of family law and personal status codes throughout the world, advancing women's rights in a climate of growing religious fundamentalism in every region.
- ABANTU for Development, Ghana
- CURE, Bosnia and Herzegovina
View all Global Fund grants supporting civic and political participation »
Global Fund believes women must have equal participation and leadership in public life to improve their lives, families and societies. Not only is their civic and political engagement a human right, their participation is crucial for promoting thriving civil societies and functioning democracies. We support the efforts of women's organizations that are working to advance women's leadership and decision making at all levels of society and their widespread participation in public life.
We also recognize that the election of a few women to positions of power has not necessarily translated into large-scale systemic change for the majority of women. That is why we, as part of women's movements, have long argued that the full exercise of women's rights will not necessarily come from an election but rather from a full transformation of the systems seeking control over women.
Our Grantmaking
Global Fund supports women-led efforts to give voice and agency to women historically excluded from decision-making in their communities, including women with disabilities, young and elderly women, widows, and women from ethnic or sexual minorities and lower socioeconomic levels.
Global Fund supports women's groups Expanding Political Participation by engaging women in all levels of the electoral process. Global Fund grantees »

15 Suppers with Sweet Potatoes
Recipe Roundup
Sweet potatoes and I didn't use to get along. I thought they were too sweet, too associated with gummy Thanksgiving gratins. And then one day I was served a roasted sweet potato and when I dug in, reluctantly, I found it was a revelation. It yielded up crisp skin, and tender orange flesh that melted in my mouth. I ate every scrap and was suddenly converted to a sweet potato lover. Now I look for ways to pack them into every meal, but especially dinner. Here are 15 ways to eat delicious, nutritious, beautiful sweet potatoes for supper.
But before we plunge into more elaborate recipes, let's not forget the simplest and best way to eat a sweet potato: Roasted, and all by itself.

Here are some suggestions for making the most of a sweet potato:

I'm loving this sweet roundup! I will be trying a lot of these recipes. I love cooking with Yams ;)
One recipe that I want to share is for my Sweet Potato and Lentil Casserole it's a great healthy dish that's vegan and gluten-free, and also high in protein and fibre..... Enjoy ;)
The sweet potato and cornbread hash is calling my name!
Yum - gotta try the orzo/onion version! My new favorite sweet potato meal is roasted sweet potato + roasted brussel sprouts + a sprinkling of dried cranberries, walnuts and blue cheese. Every delicious mouthful makes me smile.
I love sweet potatoes and they are so healthy! We usually make baked sweet potato fries, but I recently made some delicious mashed sweet potatoes with crispy prosciutto sprinkled on top....yum!
I'm eating them right now while reading this post ;-). My new favorite is mushroom, onion, sweet potato enchiladas. Can't wait to try them with miso!
I love sweet potatoes! I found some white ones this winter that were very pretty - dark purplish outside and white flesh. Yum.
I use them in stews (Like with chickpeas, kale and golden raisins)
In croquettes (like these with couscous & goat cheese)
In Roasted root vegetables soups (Like this roasted root veg & walnut bisque)
Even in these sweet potato buns!
Or soups (sweet potato pumpkin ale soup with chermoula spice)
And, of course, as fries! My 9-year-old son invented the spice mix to go on these.
I'm a big fan of the sweet potato hash with sausage and eggs recipe!
Nice roundup -- my favorites are the Baked Sweet Potato with Quinoa and Almonds recipe from Faith's casserole book - recipe reviewed here. And sweet potato quesadillas from Moosewood cooks at home, reviewed here.
This weekend we did baked sweet potatoes topped with blue cheese and bacon. It was unbelievably delicious.
For the past 2 nights I ate them baked with melted cheddar. Last night I was thinking if I could only have one food for the rest of my life it would be sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are a staple in the cuisine of many African countries and tribes. They can be boiled just like white potatoes, but usually boiled (whole or chopped) with skins on. Roasted sweet potatoes in American cuisine are an overdone same-old same-old version that begs for butter and underestimates the possibilities with this international food. Sweet potatoes are wonderful in vegetarian stews with or without peanuts, or cooked with pork or chicken. The recipes provided for stews show off the flavor of the sweet potato much better than throwing cheese on them.
I made a lentil/sweet potato dish a couple days ago with roasted garlic/leeks/onions/etc and threw in a handful of kale I had leftover. Really tasty!
I've mostly had sweet potatoes in the typical thanksgiving dish, but I'm trying to branch out. Can't go wrong with a pan of roasted root veggies!
How funny! I made sweet potato hash for Sunday breakfast served on a bed of sauteed kale with two poached eggs and some slivers of avocado. I wish it were Sunday morning again! Yumm!!
My family jokingly told my fiancé that I could subsist on ice water and sweet potatoes. I don't need ice water.
I had sweet potatoes for dinner tonight, inspired by this article. I cubed mine, tossed them with coconut oil and a new Trader Joe's seasoning blend, and roasted them. Accompanied by omelets with blue cheese, wilted spinach, and red onion marmalade. It was such a good combo. Thanks for the inspiration!
I just finished sweet potato hash made with leftover corned beef from St. Pat's day (and a little bacon--bacon makes it better!). Yum and yum. You can't go wrong with sweet potatoes.
I roasted four or five sweet potatoes under a chicken on Sunday, and it was sublime.
I make sweet potato fries as a meal in an of itself! Just chop up a sweet potato, spray PAM on a cookie sheet, lay out your cut fries, spray over top with more cooking spray, and then season and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes
This is so timely! I just bought an entire bag of sweet potatoes at Sam's Club for no apparent reason (other than being hungry and feeling more virtuous with sweet potatoes than with pop tarts).
If I'm short on time, I microwave a couple of yams/sweet potatoes (4-5 mins per potato) -- almost as good as oven roasted. Well, almost. Let cool a bit, cut into wedges. Be creative from here: I rub on a little margarine (I'm lactose intolerant), add a light drizzle of maple syrup, sprinkle a little brown sugar and/or cinnamon and put under broiler for 4-5 minutes (compensates for the nuking). It's a good and easy side with hamburgers if you want to avoid the usual french fries -- especially if you already have the broiler on for the burgers.
I'm Afro-American, so here's where I give honorable mention to a popular dessert: Sweet Potato Pie -- served with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. It's a thought for DHW who just bought a whole bag of sweet potatoes :o)
I found a recipe for maple roasted sweet potatoes with caramelized shallots and its amazing. I love finding new recipes for them!
Love making them into wedges or sweet potato burgers!

A seminar held Wednesday explained much of the state's most popular tax incentives. Among the most common is the job tax credit, which varies in amount and qualification requirements by county.
This year, Bartow County is losing designations for two Less Developed Census Tracts and is returning to Tier 3 status for job tax credits, but just less than one month remains for qualifying businesses to retain the higher job tax credits available from the Tier 2 status and LDCT designation.
"Bartow County has been historically a Tier 3 community up until last year and then changed from Tier 3 to Tier 2," said Northwest Georgia Project Manager Carl Campbell with the Georgia Department of Economic Development. "This year, the ranking has gone back to a Tier 3, so those tax dollars are going to go down again. So there are steps we want to take to take advantage of those job tax credits so you can continue to get as much benefit out of that again
"So what do you need to do to lock in savings? There is a file called a Notice of Intent you can fill out and send to the Department of Community Affairs. It has to be in by Feb. 15. If you fill out that form, send that in to the Department of Community Affairs, you can lock in the Tier 2 tax credit levels for three years. So you can continue to get job tax credits at the $3,000 amount."
There are four tiers within the state designation system for job tax credits with Tier 4 being the wealthiest counties in the state and Tier 1 being the poorest counties in the state. The tier designations are reviewed regularly and altered based on unemployment rate, median household income and poverty density rate.
While the tier status change for Bartow signals improving economic factors, eligible employers who use to qualify for $3,000 of job tax credit against 100 percent of tax liability for the creation of 10 new jobs, will now receive only $1,750 against 50 percent of tax liability for creating 15 new jobs.
To qualify for job tax credits, businesses must fall within designated enterprises, which include manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, research and development, telecommunications, data processing and tourism.
"The situation has gotten a little tougher, tax credits have gotten a little less valuable, but they are still there for you. However, there is a way that you can hang on to the value that you have," Campbell said. "Even if you're not planning an expansion, we recommend you fill out that NOI, whether you plan to add jobs or not because they're not going to hold you to that number. All of this is about increasing employment and making this community a more successful and prosperous community. So if you guys will fill out the NOI form and turn it into the DCA by Feb. 15, you can keep those job tax credits for three more years."
Campbell also touched on other popular incentives, including the Georgia Ports Bonus and the Investment Bonus. Also on Wednesday's agenda was information on the sales use tax exemption on energy used in manufacturing. The percentage of eligible amount exempted will increase each January by 25 percent reaching 100 percent in January 2016. Concurrently, local energy sales tax rates will increase to recoup county-level losses. The local increase, however, will be smaller than the amount exempted by the state making the final rate in 2016 3 percent as opposed to the previous rate of 7 percent. Additionally, the county has pledged to eliminate the local sales tax collected in energy used in manufacturing as soon as it becomes financially feasible.
A form also must be filled out and submitted to an energy provider for inclusion in the energy tax exemption. The necessary paperwork is available from the Georgia Department of Revenue online at www.etax.dor.ga.gov.
For information on job tax credits and the filing of a NOI, contact the Cartersville-Bartow County Department of Economic Development at 770-382-1466.

Associated Press
A spending bill passed by House Republicans last month could affect the nation's tsunami monitoring system, which issued warnings in response to last week's devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan, opponents warn. The plan cuts $126 million from the 2011 budget of the National Weather Service, which runs the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii.
The cuts amount to about 15 percent of the National Weather Service's $900 million budget, but putting them into effect now would require the agency to reduce spending by nearly 30 percent through the rest of the year.
Democrats seized on the cuts as an illustration of Republican recklessness in pursuit of reduced federal spending.

the QuickieChick – Laurel House
Laurel House is an international Dating Coach and Healthy Living Expert, 4x published Lifestyle Author, a host (and guinea pig) for AestheticTV, and a go-to beauty/healthy food contributor on E! News. She recently sold her 5th book "The No-Games Guide to Love," which will be released in December 2014 with Running Press. Laurel is the ultimate "It Girl" as a Dating/Confidence Coach on MTV's MADE.
With over 12 million views on YouTube, Laurel has created a platform to deliver dating and healthy lifestyle tips to the masses. She is the woman who has been there, done all of that and would never judge. Admittedly, she has made plenty of mistakes… but she extracted their lessons and now helps her clients avoid them. Laurel speaks based on personal experience (lots of it) as well as professional expertise.
Laurel's dating coaching clients range in age from 16-58 years old, and live anywhere from Los Angeles to Washington DC, Canada to Dubai. Her approach is both emotional and to-the-point practical: Addressing Your Issues, What Do You Want?, How to Get Him, How to Keep Him, Love and (eventually…. maybe) Marriage, How/When to Call It Quits and Get Over Him.
She helps her clients to first become their best selves through confidence-boosting and determining core values in order to proceed with intention in the dating world. Once her client's foundations are formed, she tackles the basics: getting out there, flirting, online dating, creating a magnetic profile, how to dress, what to say, how to act, what to do. She will then be there for you every step of the way- beyond the conventional coaching, making herself available via text and email for last minute pre-date confidence injections, and even mid-date questions.
Man Whisperer
But it's not just women who seek out her insight. She has always been the girl that guys (even exes) say "she's like one of the guys in terms of how she thinks, but still completely feminine. Somehow she seems to understand what other chicks just don't get. Laurel is a Man Whisperer." Writing about dating and sex for a slew of men's magazines including Playboy, Men's Journal, Men's Health, and FHM, she penetrated the male mind, getting to know how it works, what it needs and/vs. what it wants.
Laurel is a regular contributor to Dating With Dignity's Dating Den TV series as well as a featured expert in Marni Battista's "Find Love Now" coaching program. Her dating tips appear on CupidsPulse.com, Giuliana Rancic's FabFitFun.com, and on Yahoo! Shine.
Modern-day Ann Landers
Because of her edgy, honest, and wide-ranging advice, she is often referred to as the modern-day Ann Landers.
Laurel is an NASM Certified Weight Loss Specialist, and nationally recognized Print and Online Magazine Writer and has served as both a Beauty and Health & Fitness Editor for several magazines (her outlets have included New You, Women's Health, First for Women, Healing Lifestyles and Spas, Men's Journal, Elegant Bride, Fit, Spa, Fit Yoga, Playboy, etc). Well-known lifestyle companies have engaged her as their on-air and in-person spokesperson including AestheticTV, Sheer Cover, Youthful Essence, popchips, Balance Bar, ExerciseTV, Checkhimout.com, KY Brand, Bossa Nova, Evolution Fresh Juices, Ubisoft's Your Shape Fitness Evolved for xbox Kinect, Guthy-Renker, Microsoft,Tag Heuer watches,The Platinum Board, Evolution Fresh Juice, Hoover vacuums,TJ Maxx, M&Ms, Norton, Dunkin' Donuts latte light, Progresso soup, Propel Water, Nature Made Vitamins, Danskin fitness clothes, and Olay beauty products.
More than anything, Laurel is just like you- she is a woman who makes her health and beauty a priority, is constantly fighting the visible signs of aging, and is not immune to moments of weakness when she dreams of quick fixes and magic bullets. Until then, she is a self-professed beauty Guinea pig who will try anything (almost) once… many of it on camera or at least revealed within blog posts.
…So What's A Quickie Lifestyle?
Yes, we all know what a "quickie" is (and that's in here too), but this is more than that; it's a lifestyle. Just as "quickies" are fun, exciting, sometimes unconventional, resourceful, efficient, sexy, quick, in the moment, and always (or almost always) instantly gratifying… so are LifeQuickies. These aren't long overdrawn processes that require prep-work, expensive equipment, patience and perseverance. They are right now. Oh, and it's all done on a budget (because you don't need to be wined, dined and stay in a 5 star hotel to have a quickie… do you?). Even beyond the fun and fast, LifeQuickies are about seeing that every experience, break up, lost job, screw up, embarrassment, success… (yes, even bummers have benefits) they all have a "net net," an extracted message… a quickie lesson you can learn that just might change your mind, your path, or simply give you a different perspective, tweak your way of thinking, or make life (or just the task at hand) a little easier.
There's a Quickie for Everything
Upping your metabolism or your sex drive, easing a bad mood or a hangover, feeling better after a heartbreak or a hard workout, even faking a perfect body before a big date or faking confidence before a big meeting… there's pretty much a quickie solution for every facet of life.
In the end, you may be a do-everything chick who lacks patience as a virtue and doesn't have a lot of time to get a lot done, but you still need those extracts of information to help you achieve a better, more fulfilled and fabulous life. And since you don't have enough time, patience or energy to have all of the full lesson-revealing life experiences yourself, I've done the dirty work for you and now, in a nut shell, here it is… quickie tips for fast-paced chicks- like you and me too. This is your cheat sheet to life.

I went to the shop last night and it said 62lbs. So can we say between 2 and 3 lbs per full turn?
I went to the shop last night and it said 62lbs. So can we say between 2 and 3 lbs per full turn?
If it was actually 60# and its only gone up 2# then I guess so but it depends on the actual weight it was. Did you weight it before you went 1 turn?
Again, how many turns until bottom will determine it. For example, if its 3 turns off bottom now and your getting 2# per turn then of course it will only hit 68# unless it increases more on the last turn.
Not sure what you are looking for, what draw weight do you actually want?
I might ( and I stress might) bring to 70 at some point. I bought my arrows with that in mind.
I am just very curious about these things.

An inexpensive scale is a luggage scale out of Wal-mart. From all the reports of those who have used them the are good.

Need a string set pm or email me @ email@example.com
or check us out @ http://bowstringdepot.com
I bought a cheap digital of ebay, $15 tmd and it works fine. Have a better scale and there isn't much difference.
I bought one of these on e-bay for fishing but found out was extremely accurate at weighing draw weight, within a couple ounces. If you're not in a big hurry pick one up, well worth it.

Hotel had an "old" look with the wallpaper starting to peel in the bathroom. I've never liked the Asian toilets with all the gadgets on the side of the toilet, gives the seating a cramped feeling. Too bad hotel doesn't offer breakfast, looking for a western breakfast nearby was not easy. We certainly did not like the "sticker shock" on the price of parking, the ad didn't mention it. Considering what is not around, no wonder Miyako has a good reputation.

It's proximity to Amtrak Union Station in Los Angeles, a block away! Important when the Coast Starlight train gets in at 9 P.M.
Wasn't the cleanest (dirty light switches, worn carpet. Nice size rooms, though. The hotel had no electricity from 11:30P.M. to 6:30 A.M. due to electrical installation, I believe by a utility, and therefore out of the hotel's control.Nice staff made me feel comfortable (a woman travelling alone). Despite the loss of electricity, breakfast was ready in the morning! I would have appreciated a guide telling what channels were available. (I didn't expect a high-end T.V. or lots of cable channels at such a modest place but would like to have known what was available w/o having to waste time channel surfing).

The location, and the service and cocktails at the bar were great.
Our first night we stayed in a room close to the elevator, and the bell was disruptive. The valet service was slow and very expensive ($42 per day).
I liked the lobby. Water pressure in shower was amazing.
It was old. My room smelled damp the whole time I went to walgreens to buy fabreeze. The carpet was torn and tatty looking. The sink had a visible crack in it. On my last day when I turned the knob it came off. Ironing board had stains on it. Hotel just really needs a makeover and move into the 20th century of amenities at least.

The location was perfect for me as I had an early morning run in Downtown and they have a noon checkout which gave me time for a shower after the run. The lobby is gorgeous. Rooms were the best value for Downtown and breakfast was included. Rooms have been updated with nice accessories like flat-screen TV, wash basin fittings, bedside light etc.
Unfortunately, it was hard to sleep because it was hot (no aircon) and my room on the 6th floor seemed to be on the same level as a next door comedy club that got going with open mike at 01:30. Really. And the shared bathrooms, although I could see they had been nicely tiled etc. were not particularly clean, and I think this was not due to the hotel staff at all, but rather just the number of people sharing the showers/toilets. It looked like about 2 toilets and 2 showers for a floor with 30 or 40 rooms. Of course, I could have had a private bathroom if I had paid more than I did, and it was fine for the price.
Mediocre 3.6
I liked the fact that they try to keep everything clean and it looks like a room from home

I really enjoyed my stay. I thought the historic aspect of the hotel was interesting, loved having the exercise facilities available, and with wifi and breakfast included, it was a great value. The room was small, but quaint and comfortable. The ability to walk to great restaurants made it very convenient. I was a bit put off when I first arrived to room though and found the bathroom floor covered in dust and other people's hair. It had clearly not been washed in some time, which made me question the overall cleanliness. But even with that in mind, I would still recommend it to others.
Excellent 10.0
Upon checking in I was upgraded to a mini suite (I did check-in late). The hotel and rooms were clean and how they appear in photographs on this site. Staff were very friendly and accommodating even including a fruit basket. The hotel has a no tipping policy that the staff adhere. The room included a mini fridge (not mini bar), a safe, flat screen TV with cable, and complementally WiFi internet access. The hotel was a short 2 block walk to the metro / subway to visit Hollywood boulevard / University City Walk (on the red line). The taxi from (and to) LAX was around 30 minutes with little traffic. In general, the hotel was in a safe and convenient location for any first time visitor to LA. There are convenience stores and eateries across the street and within walking distance. I plan on staying at this hotel again and I would recommend this hotel to family and friends.

How Is Peyronie's Disease Treated?
There are two ways in which Peyronie's disease can be treated: surgery or non-surgical treatment.
Because the plaque of Peyronie's disease often shrinks or disappears without treatment, most doctors suggest waiting one to two years or longer before attempting to correct it with surgery. In many cases, surgery produces positive results. But because complications can occur, and because many of the problems associated with Peyronie's disease (for example, shortening of the penis) are not corrected by surgery, most doctors prefer to perform surgery only on men with curvatures so severe that sexual intercourse is impossible.
There are two surgical techniques used to treat Peyronie's disease. One method involves the removal of the plaque followed by placement of a patch of skin or artificial material (skin graft). With the second technique, the surgeon removes or pinches the tissue from the side of the penis opposite the plaque, which cancels out the bending effect. The first method can involve partial loss of erectile function, especially rigidity. The second method, known as the Nesbit procedure, causes a shortening of the erect penis.
Penile implants can be used in cases where Peyronie's disease has affected the man's ability to achieve or maintain an erection.
A non-surgical treatment for Peyronie's disease involves injecting the drug Xiaflex directly into the plaque in an attempt to soften the affected tissue, decrease the pain, and correct the curvature of the penis. Vitamin E pills haves also been shown to benefit some men with Peyronie's disease.
Another, less invasive option is laser treatment to thin the plaques of Peyronie's disease.
What Is Balanitis?
Balanitis is an inflammation of the head of the penis. A similar condition, balanoposthitis, refers to inflammation of the head of the penis and the foreskin. Symptoms of balanitis include redness or swelling, itching, rash, pain, and a foul-smelling discharge.
What Causes Balanitis?
Balanitis most often occurs in men and boys who have not been circumcised (had their foreskin surgically removed), and who have poor hygiene. Inflammation can occur if the sensitive skin under the foreskin is not washed regularly, allowing sweat, debris, dead skin, and bacteria to collect under the foreskin and cause irritation. The presence of tight foreskin may make it difficult to keep this area clean and can lead to irritation by a foul-smelling substance (smegma) that can accumulate under the foreskin.
Other causes of balanitis may include:
- Dermatitis/allergy. Dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin, often caused by an irritating substance or a contact allergy. Sensitivity to chemicals in certain products -- such as soaps, detergents, perfumes, and spermicides -- can cause an allergic reaction, including irritation, itching, and a rash.
- Infection. Infection with the yeast candidaalbicans (thrush) can result in an itchy, red, spotty rash. Certain sexually transmitted diseases -- including gonorrhea, herpes, and syphilis -- can produce symptoms of balanitis.
In addition, men with diabetes are at greater risk for balanitis. Glucose (sugar) in the urine that is trapped under the foreskin serves as a breeding ground for bacteria.
