This breed was then brought by the Normans into England and into the United States. The Bloodhound is a hunter, however loves tracking most. This is a scent hound and loses interest in whatever he is doing quickly. This breed is commonly used as both companion and tracker, tracking down game, criminals, and lost children.
The Bloodhound is shy, placid, however can be sociable if given the time to warm up. This breed can be wary of strangers, but should never show aggressive tendencies. The Bloodhound can be very sensitive to the tone of ones voice making him rather difficult to train, however he is very eager to please his master and does extremely well. This breed tends to wail at the scent of something strange, however does not bark as many other hounds do.
Bloodhounds are very gentle, loving, and have a very sweet disposition. However, he can be very shy and reserved so proper socialization at puppyhood is definitely necessary. This breed should not be trusted around small animals, however can do very well with other dogs if trained and socialized properly. The Bloodhound does remarkably well around children and can be very tolerant, however the ears of this breed are sensitive so supervision is necessary.
The Bloodhound doesn't require much grooming coat wise, however under the folds of skin should be cleaned regularly to avoid itchy or dry skin. A quick and regular brushing should be performed to remove any dead or loose hair, as this breed can seasonally be a very heavy shedder. The Bloodhound has very long and droopy ears, which should be cleaned regularly to avoid any painful and/or infected ears.
The Bloodhound has a very short, and hard coat that should cover the entire body and should be close lying. The hair should be softer on the head and ears while the remaining hair should be harsh and coarse. This breed requires little grooming, however the ears should be cleaned regularly to prevent any problems that could arise.
The Bloodhound is extremely intelligent and eager to please his owner however can be very stubborn making training a definite task. Gentle handling and speaking is a must as this breed can be very sensitive, but consistency is also necessary if this breed is to thrive and learn. Bloodhounds can be very slow to house train and train period, however if proper training exercises are followed on a regular basis, this breed should excel and become a wonderful family and/or hunting companion.

The Bloodhound has the tendency to overeat so regular exercise is a must if this breed is to stay healthy and active. At least 90 minutes per day is required to keep this dog healthy, happy, and in shape. Bloodhounds do best with acreage and a large area to roam in however can do well if they have an owner that has a regular exercise regimen.

Commentary: GMOs: How do I hate thee?
You know something's arrived as an "issue" of substance when it has its own Top Ten list. With all the opponents—irrational and otherwise—that the science of genetic engineering has generated, the only question about a Top Ten Reasons to Hate Biotech is this:
What took you so long?
Well, thanks to the Food Consumer group (www.foodconsumer.org), we now have that list. Let's explore it, shall we, and along the way, helpfully point out the group's ignorance, bias and overall wrongheadedness.
In the spirit of dialogue, of course.
Here are their Top Ten Reasons Why We Don't Need GM Foods:
10). GM crops won't solve the food crisis. Probably not—at least all by themselves. To date, genetic engineering has been deployed primarily to develop crops that can withstand the application of broad-spectrum herbicides, which significantly simplifies cultivation and weed control. It also has the side-effect of enabling no-till farming, which helps the soil preserves moisture from rainfall, prevents erosion, dramatically reduces nutrient and pesticide pollution in rivers and waterways and helps minimize the consumption of fuel, since plowing is greatly reduced. So, yes—genetic engineering's no panacea, but its full potential has yet to be tapped.
9). GM crops do not increase yield potential. Again, give the science a break. Genetic engineering is in its infancy, and since so much of the low-hanging fruit (pardon the pun) in food production has already been captured, incremental gains in crop yields and farm productivity have become harder and harder to achieve. But when really smart people, like the ones working on food security for the Gates Foundation, start investing in biotech as a pathway we need to travel if we hope to feed another two billion people in the next couple decades,
8). GM crops increase pesticide use. True and not true. Some studies have indicated that in terms of "pounds on the ground," the widespread adoption of GM crops (ie, Roundup-Ready) has resulted in a slight (somewhere around 7%) increase in the use of herbicides. But Round –up is a relatively benign chemical; it readily biodegrades and has far less adverse effects, environmentally speaking, than many alternatives. And with cotton in particular, genetically engineered Bt cotton crops have dramatically reduced the use of some very harsh and ecologically detrimental pesticides. The bottom line is that biotech has been developed for other ends; it's overall impact on chemical use is close to neutral.

This one burns me up. As a farmer who has dealt with both the everlasting cycle of debt, disease and land degradation from farming GMO crops and the saving grace of holistic management which allows us to work with nature rather than against it, I can tell you I will always choose holistic management. Do we still farm conventionally using GMO seeds? Yes for the time being, but only on land where we can't graze cattle because of ownership or water issues. Until we get out from under the burdens of debt and rented land, we have little choice. If we want to survive past the present generations, humanity is going to have to observe nature's ways, respond with technologies that DO NO HARM, and adapt our short-sighted ways to fit the laws of return. The top-ten fails to address one of the best I have heard: that consumption of GMO grains closely parallels the epidemic of obesity in this country. (Don't come after our farm, Monstersanto--I'm only repeating what I have heard at the coffee shop.)
I am sure Monsanto will buy this technology SOON !!!!!!!!! Building a $325,000 Burger http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/14/science/engineering-the-325000-in-vitro-burger.html?hp&_r=4&pagewanted=all&
W.E., you're partly right: The obesity epidemic is indeed linked to the over-consumption of "grains" -- but it has nothing to do with GMOs. For one thing, obesity started taking off in the mid-1980s, long before there were any approvals for genetically modified food crops. Second, it's the processing of grains into refined flour and concentrated HFCS that's causing the problem, and again, that has nothing to do with GMOs. The bottom line is that biotechnology -- unfortunately- -- has been deployed primarily by commercial interests to produce seeds that provide a trade-off: Less labor for more herbicide. greater efficiency for increased mechanization of farming. We could argue all day about whether there are enough people interested in farming to support a mass movement toward smaller-scale, labor-intensive farming -- I personally question how you'd get a couple million Americans to decide to start spending 12-hour days, 7 days a week working as farmers, no matter how much profit might be involved. So we need "industrial farming," however you want to characterize it, and ultimately we will need biotechnology -- perhaps not for the applications for which it currently been deployed, but someday (soon) for actually fulfilling the promise of crops that withstand drought, increase nutrition and improve productivity to feed the billions of people who will be alive in just a few short decades. Genetic engineering is no more of a demon than modern medicine, which can save lives or be used to develop plastic surgery that contributes nothing to our collective well-being. Likewise, GMOs can funnel corporate profits to Monsanto, or help nourish hungry people around the world. I hold out hope it will ultimately be the latter.
"GM foods have not been shown to be safe to eat. Yeah, we need another 20 years of people consuming genetically modified corn, soy and other crops by the trainload before we can have any assurance that these foods aren't going to cause the people who eat them to drop dead on the spot. Please." For a trade organization that bludgeons the critics of GMOs as being anti-scientific Luddites, the practice of science is nowhere to be found. In truth, Monsanto et al are a corporation of lawyers and lobbyists, whose side job is seed production, rather than science. If science was the focus, laughable unscientific statements would be prohibited. Pray tell, Mr. Dan Murphy, aside from appeal to authority you normally use by linking to dozens of authoritative bodies' statements, where is there any data on safety of this crap? I've read the 90 day safety studies and all the reviews. The truth is, the only thing that can be said on the subject of safety is that the crap isn't causing people to drop dead en mass like flies. Sure, they don't cause peracute adverse effects, but neither does tobacco kill you the first time you smoke-- does that make it safe? Please drop the pretense. There is no assurance of safety with these novel crops. The entire risk assessment is done in the dark, without peer review bycorrupt regulators and biotech firms, and the vehemence with which labeling is fought strongly suggests that its a fight to avoid product liability and accountability that tracing adverse effects to labeled food would afford. People are coerced into eating this garbage, because if they understood the junk science of random insetion of foreign DNA into plants doused in Round-up, the market for GMOs would vanish overnight.
Elitists hate GMO because it represents successful commercial agriculture, but it is the success of modern agriculture they resent most. Elitists dream of returning to a fabled time when a majority of the population were ignorant tenant farmers subservient to a handful of privileged barons and princelings. Nothing quite so fulfilling to an elitist as having hordes of destitute people slaving for his/her every comfort. That's the dream of "small scale farming" and the real truth behind the anti-agriculture cult.
Just because GMOs are marketed by Monsanto, a company a lot of people love to hate, doesn't mean that the science underlying genetic modification is "junk science." Far from it, especially as Monsanto had little to do with the original research into direct manipulation of an organism's genome. And by the way, cross-breeding involves genetic manipulation, too -- only done randomly and without precision. Do you really believe that seedless watermelons are "natural?" As for the FDA, a lot of corporate influence is at work in Washington, not the least of which is drug and food ingredient approvals. I don't disagree that corporate lobbyists have too much influence over regulators, but that doesn't mean that whatever FDA approves is automatically suspect. A wealth of well-credentialed scientists agree that GE foods and non-GE foods are biologically identical. The idea that somehow, weird proteins "might" be present in genetically modified food is belied by the fact that such foods have been on the market for more than a decade. If there was this huge risk you suggest -- like tobacco -- don't you think by now there would be bona fide cases of allergic reactions that lawyers could use to sue Monsanto? C'mon! You denigrate Monsanto's lawyers as bad guys, when what you're really criticizing is the pursuit of profits that is aided and abetted by lawyers. DOn't you think that same avarice you assign to Monsanto's legal team wouldn't also apply to class-action and personal injury law firms? If there was evidence that GMOs harmed people, there would be a thousand cases in court right now. But there isn't. because there is no evidence of harm -- only charges and claims and innuendos that GMOs MIGHT be harmful. Sorry--no sale.
Elitists don't hate GMOs. That's merely their public "outrage." They love the issue of GMOs because they recognize that there's traction to be had (and fund-raising to be done) on the basis of provoking unfounded fears about "Frankenfoods." Yes, there are plenty of purists and back-to-the-landers who are ignorant about the realities of feeding seven billion people, but I'm not sure that's the same thing as claiming that the opponents of genetic engineering want to return to feudal times. Personally, I'm glad we have organic farming. I support the movement, because it allows entry to the business of agriculture to people who can't afford the capital costs of running a 5,000-acre corn-soybeans operation. And it promotes consumer choice, support local food production and keeps farmland in production and out of development. There are issues and concerns tied to large-scale farming and the federal subsidies that support it -- as well as a downside to turning food processing over to mega-corporations with zero loyalty to the farm community. To pretend that everything "elitists" are concerned about is cultist is a little short-sighted, I think. We have a highly efficient system of agriculture in the USA, but there are issues with land use, resource limitations, energy consumption and environmental protection we need to be clear-eyed about addressing. But you're exactly right: We shouldn't (and can't) replace the system we have with organic farming. We do, however, need to deal with the issues noted above, because left unaddressed, they will eventually compromise our ability to feed ourselves, much less the rest of the world.
You are too balanced and rational to be a columnist, Dan. Let's spew a little more vitriol and contempt on this topic, O.K.? Being too reasonable and acknowledging mutlple viewpoints certainly won't help you with the anti-GMO crowd... and might hurt you with those who think organic farmers are all wackos, too.
Natural News can school you on this subject. http://www.naturalnews.com/040210_gm_corn_march_against_monsanto_glyphosate.html here is an excerpt you must read: The Corn Comparison Report detailed the nutritional deficiencies of GMO corn compared to regular organic corn. The report reveals the stunning levels of glyphosate in GMO corn and the amount of vital nutrients that have been drawn out.
Indeed, how do I hate thee vile GMO industry: 1. Concerted and continuous efforts at consumer deception 2. No published clinical human health & safety GMO feeding study 3. No means of protecting the environment from GMO trespass & genetic contamination 4. No means of recall once released into the wild 5. No means of protecting natural species from patented insemination 6. Novel protein immune system stimuli 7. Useful GMO shilling by sympathetic Ag-biotech supply chain players looking to perpetuate livelihood and income stream for self and fellow participants
Dan Murphy you sir are an idiot.
I would love to hear whether any of the Anti GMO contributors to this column have ever been starving, or had children who were starving. If there were a water use efficiency gene available that could save thousands of starving people, and it was your call, would you really keep it out of crops? And let those people die?
Monsanto has already killed thousands of people with DDT , Agent Orange & PCBs! COME ON GET REAL! If Monsanto hid the truth about how harmful PCBs were for decades and didn't care how many people died of cancer from being exposed to it, why would they care about feeding hungry starving children around the world?? All they care about is lining their pockets with $$$! The CEO of Monsanto Huge Grant and his projected salary for 2013 is $14 million! That doesn't count for what all the chief executives are making at Monsanto! GMOs are a great money making scheme and all the top Monsanto executives are laughing all the way to the bank!
If there is no merit to the concerns of the "few anti-GMO activists", then why not have GE/GMO labelling on the food related products and let the free market decide?
Sr. Dan Murphy, congratulations for your opinion published! We in the food production market need to explain more about GMO products. It is fact that haters don't know the real situation, because they're using/eating something produced by GMOs for years!! Here in Brazil there are GMOs and Monsanto haters too. It's exactly the same situation. These are my words os support to you. Greetings, Marcelo (Brazilian beef market)
To say that genetic modification is "random injection of foreign DNA" is completely ludicrous. DNA sequencing has enabled scientists to know exactly what each segment of a strand does or does not do. You sir do not know modern science
Commerical Agriculture = Industrical Petrochemical Agriculture Reliance on cheap petroleum to produce food was unsustainable at it's beginning, is unsustainable now, and when there is no longer cheap petroleum, will collapse in the future. How you going to spray your crops with the required pesticides when you can't afford the petroleum to produce the chemicals, produce the fertilizers, fuel the tractors and equipment, and then transport the produce the hundreds/thousands of miles to market? What's you plan to feed the world then? My small scale farm requires non of that.

Weekend Quilting
That being said, I spent the weekend quilting my Fall Equinox top, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's far from perfect, but I think it's my best home-machine quilting effort to date.
No, I'm still not over the wavy line quilting. : ) I really love how it softens up such a geometric design. And actually, I feel like this squiggly quilting is a baby step toward free motion quilting. Even though I was using my walking foot, I still needed to have some control over how fast I was pushing the quilt through the machine. The slower I went, the more dramatically the lines wiggled. So I think (at least, I hope) I started to get a feel for the rhythm of it, more easily recognizing when the quilt is dragging too much, etc.
But don't worry, you won't see this wavy line quilting on everything I do. My machine has a lot of decorative stitches—so I have plenty of other available reasons to avoid free motion quilting for some time to come!
Edited to add: This post includes an explanation of how I did the wavy line quilting (scroll to the bottom of the post). Just use your machine's wavy line decorative stitch - so simple! Love it!
I'm linking up to Sew Modern Monday - go check out Megan's blog to see what everybody else is up to.

Beautiful wavy quilting!!ReplyDelete
oh I love the wavy line quilting! I haven't tried that yet, but I think I will have to. I think its funny how everyone has their favorite part of the quilting process, my favorite part is the actual quilting its self, I heart free motion quilting :) but I despise binding, particularly hand sewing. I've taken to machine sewing down my binding, which makes it slightly more tolerable, but still my least favorite part!ReplyDelete
I know just how you feel about the machine quilting. This turned out great though and I love the waviness :)ReplyDelete
On my last quilt even the wavy line was funky on the back so I finally bit the bullet and just hand quilted it. And guess what .... I love it! So relaxing to do on the couch and the total opposite of stressful. That said, if I could get a quilt to turn out as nice as this one I'd go back to machine quilting in a second!
Love it! I'm finishing up a postage stamp quilt from Rachel's quilt-a-long, and I just might have to try some wavy quilting :)ReplyDelete
Your quilting is just beautiful!ReplyDelete
I'm laughing though because I just blogged about loving the quilting part of making a quilt; especially the free motion quilting!
I love how we all make quilts yet we are all still different...
Jennifer :)
Lee...you have nothing to worry about...your quilting looks great...that is why I hand quilt..I can't stand all the material in my sewing machine....now if I had a long arm it might be different...but I don't. I enjoy the relaxation of hand quilting....nothing to hold but the needle and thread...lolReplyDelete
But it turned out beautiful
Your wavy quilting is really beautiful.ReplyDelete
I feel the same about quilting, but hope that someday (maybe with a new sewing machine?!) I will get better at free motion quilting and love it. We'll see. For now I'll definitely have to try what you've done here!
Cute! I use decorative stitches sometimes too, but my machine only has a few :( I hope to get a better machine some day! FMQ-ing really did grown on me! I like it a lot, but I think planning and piecing is still my favorite part of quilting. Binding hands down is my least favorite.ReplyDelete
I really love this, I keep meaning to try it, only to remember after I finish quilting something. Maybe I need to make myself a sign or something. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I really love FMQ'ing, it's relaxing to me. It's taken a lot of practice for it to become truly enjoyable, but even when I look back at the quilts that I thought I quilted hideously, they're really not bad at all. I can't wait to see how you wind up binding this one - great job!ReplyDelete
This made me laugh because I just commented on Jennifer's blog (after she said quilting was her favorite part...really???) and read your comment about how it is NOT your favorite part, and then coming here and reading your post...well, I'm totally with you on this one! And the imagery of putting your quilt top in time out made me laugh out loud! So anyway...I'm totally going to try the wavy line quilting. It looks awesome. My cousin is a PHENOMENAL longarm quilter and she never does straight line quilting, always wavy lines. Your quilt looks awesome. You give me hope that I can actually learn to machine quilt this year. It's on my list of things to do because (a) I want to learn and (b) my budget no longer allows me to send them out...at least not if want new fabric!ReplyDelete
P.S. sorry I wrote a book here...
Your wavy quilting looks gorgeous! Binding is the part this my least favorite, but I can understand what you mean about a quilt not really wanting to be quilted :) Can't wait to see more of this one!ReplyDelete
I totally get you about wrestling with the quilt! And the wavy lines are beautiful! What a lovely quilt!ReplyDelete
The larger the quilt the harder to wrestle it too. Your quilting looks lovely. I taught myself quilting just over 12 months ago and used free motion quilting on the outer edging, not knowing it may be tricky. I enjoyed trying something totally new and loved the effect.ReplyDelete
I'm enjoying the relaxation of hand quilting my current quilt. Binding by hand is one of my favourite bits of quilting.
Your quilting is absolutely beautiful! Please share with us how you did this? I'd love to give it a try. I need to break out of the straight line or stippling rut.ReplyDelete
I love the colors of that quilt! I also love the wavy line quilting! :) my first "free motioned" quilt was actually a bit like wavy lines crossed with a free motion stipple. I just didn't get the hang of how to move around the quilt on that first try. It still looked great but not quite proper. lol. Keep working it comes with time/practice!ReplyDelete
I hate quilting too. It feels like wrestling. I like the analogy you used, lol! I am really really really really loving the wavy lines...I will have to keep that in mind for a quilt that I'm working on right now. Your quilt is so gorgeous...great job!ReplyDelete
Nice job on the wavy lines! I always get distracted when quilting a specific design and start making crazy loops :) I like how this turned out :)ReplyDelete
This is great! I think I am going to have to revisit the wavy quilting in the near future. You make it look so fabulous :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for linking to {Sew} Modern Monday! Have a wonderful week!
Danielle, yes, I should have linked that up! (I added the link to my post, above.) It's so simple, just use the wavy line decorative stitch on your machine. Set it on the widest width and a longer stitch length (I did 7.0 width and 2.0 stitch length, but you might want to test out your settings first to find one you like). Then just move the quilt straight and the machine does the wavy part! It's great!ReplyDelete
Also, Danielle, FYI, you're a "no reply" blogger, otherwise I would have emailed you this info. Check your settings to fix that.
I tried that wavy quilting stitch the other day "just because" & loved how fast it was & how great it looked! I wasn't sure it was an 'approved' quilting stitch, it you know what I mean. ;-)ReplyDelete
Now I see it on your blog, and that it's "OK!" Yay. My LEAST favorite part of quilting is BASTING. My fav is the binding. I am new to FMQ & have far to go, but am practicing & even taking a class, so I am hopeful!!
I love the design you did on this quilt. I just finished a quilt with a very similar pattern and was wondering how I could quilt it because im getting a little tired of the simple meander and this totally inspired me. Thanks! :)ReplyDelete

text: I've clearly been spending too little time on the forums since today is the first time I saw this thread. I've always liked the Canon A-series point and shoot cameras and have had three of them over the years. One of the things that I liked about them was they all had optical viewfinders which is definitely useful for outdoor photography. The one that I have now (got it about a year ago) is the SX-130is and it's my favorite one to date. It doesn't have the optical viewfinder but the LCD is very bright and works well outdoors. The thing I love about it is that it has a long zoom (12x) with optical image stabilization. This is great for a small P&S. It also has a full range of manual controls for when you want them but works very well in full auto. There are lots of good choices in P&S cameras these days and I'm sure that the ones that others have suggested are equally worth considering. Always good to get first hand opinions from people that you know. Good luck with whatever you decide on. We'll be looking forward to seeing the pictures!

The definition of blight varies with the variety of people having the discussion. Blight in an upscale area can simply mean a vacant property with the lawn not mowed.
But blight is meant to describe a tough and ugly situation of long-term neglect, vacant or not, whereby the area is prone to vandalism and crime. It should not be used to describe a building waiting for the right owner.
In our disposable society, we are impatient with waiting. In boom years, waiting for a building to be designed and built well is excruciating to most, although for the longevity of a building, design and build quality are the two most critical components.
As an architect, I argue that if the building is designed well, designed for the right place, built well and built to last, it doesn't matter what the economics are — it will stand the test of time.
However, building styles still fall out of favor, just like fashion. Many buildings
become unwanted just because they have the wrong ornamentation or are built in the wrong location or in an area that changes with gentrification.
In bust years, buildings that are not built well or in the right location are often the ones left behind first.
Demolishing a building because it stands vacant — setting 180 days as the threshold was discussed in Tracy — is absurd.
When we are talking about our neighborhoods, we shouldn't be quick to eradicate a building simply because it is vacant. There are serious ramifications to patchwork demolition that affect the vitality of the community and actually spread the disease of blight faster than leaving the vacant building standing.
Downtown Stockton is a good example of emptiness sapping vitality.
To use a dentist allegory, pulling the bad tooth makes the smile worse.
In Tracy, we would have lost the Grand Theatre Center for the Arts and the Opera House under those guidelines. Now imagine our downtown without those cornerstones.
Buildings, both commercial and residential, account for 40 percent of our resources, including the operations to run them.
What it took to build a building is called embodied energy — we already spent the energy and time to build it, which means when it was built, it had great value. If it doesn't now, does that mean we should not have built it in the first place?
Consider the embodied energy.
In older buildings, the materials used for the building are gone, or are now rare. We are already dealing with the ramifications and pollution that stem from improper harvesting and manufacturing of those materials.
When we demolish, all that embodied value is lost, forever.
Yet we would still pay the consequences of those buildings, standing or not, and continue to incur resource debt when we start over again.
We need to take a different approach with our building environment.
On the planning side, we need to slow down and make the right choices before we build. The choices of our neighbors affect all of us —
we are interconnected.
We need to ask if the building serves the community.
Can we, as residents, support the expense of the water, sewer, power and public safety to support the building? Can the building be reused and remodeled and adjust to the future world?
We need to stop looking at our buildings as meal tickets for city coffers, gorging ourselves on developer fees now and deferring the consequences later.
For those buildings already in our community, we need to take a radical approach to support infill.
Why not make a three-tiered fee structure that supports the buildings and systems we already have? If you remodel or add on to an existing building, you get the lowest fee structure — and fee waivers if the building is vacant.
An even more radical
approach would be to offer incentives for infill growth. We already pay a premium to safeguard them; why not improve them? If you are building new on vacant land, surrounded by development on three sides, you get a middle fee structure. And if you want to build new, outbound of the city, you pay the highest price — painful and commensurate with long-term burden it will place on the community.
Will it slow outward growth? Yes, but it will create
more vitality within our
existing neighborhoods — the best long-term, sustainable solution for the vitality of our community.
With this approach, the Levand Building, a Tracy historical landmark might have been saved.
For a change: Support local businesses. They create the vitality and tax dollars our community needs.
To make a difference: Try to repair before buying new.
To make a stand: Plan your build. Look at long-term factors, such as affordability of the operations. If you can't afford to maintain it, water it and repair it, then it will likely fall into disuse.

If you like food porn one of the best blogs for this is http://userealbutter.com. This avid cook and photographer always has a post that makes me drool. She made a Cuban Pork Sandwich that stayed in my mind for a couple of weeks before I made a version of her recipe. Since I am cutting down on carbs I decided to make her recipe but without the bread. I made the marinated Cuban Pork Roast but served it with sautéed bell peppers and onions and some steamed green beans. Very yummy.
I picked up a pork bootie(Pork Butt) at Costco.
Grabbed some mango juice at Whole Foods.
Marinated the bootie in mango juice, orange juice and a sliced orange, cumin, garlic and some rum. Lots of rum.
After I let it marinate overnight I put it in the oven at 425 for 1/2 an hour. This gave the pork a good browning. Then I slow roasted it all day at 250 degrees. All day….
I started the roast at 10:00 am and took it out at 7:00 pm. It was tender and yummy. When I put a fork in the roast it just fell apart.
I took some of the pan juices and sautéed the onions and bell peppers. Served the pork roast drizzled with some hot sauce. The hubby enjoyed the roast over rice but I abstained from the carbs. Yay me!

Carpet Repair Expert
Would you like us to repair your carpet...
instead of spending thousands of dollars replacing it?
I'm Steve Gordon, I own Creative Carpet Repair
and I have a local carpet repair expert ready
to save your carpet.
Call Us Now To Repair Your Carpet Today!
You have my personal word of honor that I back up everything
• Pet Damaged Carpet
• Carpet Patching
• Carpet Stretching
• Carpet Seam Repair
• Carpet Stair Repair
• Berber Snags or Runs
• Carpet to Floor Transitions
• Commercial Carpet Repair
• Carpet Flood Damage
Below are some of the most common carpet repairs we do every day.
If any of these photos look familiar, we can fix your carpet, too!
Whenever you patch a carpet with new, unworn or unfaded carpet, the patch is will be obvious. In time, it will look better, but it will never completely match the older carpet. In the end, this Berber carpet repair saved our happy customer a LOT of money.
By the way, we back up all of our work with a 100% unlimited, unconditional lifetime labor guarantee, so if that carpet ever ripples again, we'll fix it for free!
If it's possible to fix a carpet by stretching rather than patching, it's a far better option.
In the short videos below I explain what you need to know about:
• Pet Damaged Carpet
• Carpet Patching
• Carpet Stretching
• Carpet Seam Repair
• Carpet Stair Repair
• Berber Snags or Runs
• Carpet to Floor Transitions
• Commercial Carpet Repair
• Carpet Flood Damage
Carpet Stretching: Around half the jobs we do have something to do with carpet stretching. If you have carpet wrinkles, carpet bubbles, or ridges. These are all symptoms of a loose carpet. If the original carpet installer had used a power stretcher properly in the first place, you wouldn't be having this problem. When you call us to re-stretch your carpet we will use a power stretcher and then back up our work forever. Seriously, if at any time your carpet ever becomes loose again, we will come back at no charge to you and fix it. You have our word on it!
Carpet patching: When you need a carpet patched because you have a damaged carpet, we'll ask you to provide the carpet that will be necessary to finish the job.
Carpet - floor transitions: After new floor is installed, the last thing people do is t
he carpet to floor transition. Many wood floor contractors and tile contractors don't do this because it takes super-carpet-guy powers and tools. Give us a call for your carpet to floor transitions and we'll have it done in a jiffy!
Berber snag or pull or run: We see this problem nearly every day. The problem is that installers are supposed to seal the seams with a latex seam sealer before seaming them together. Most installers don't bother and then the Berber carpet comes apart at the ..... wait for it.... wait for it... you guessed it, it comes apart at the seams. It only takes one loose bit of yarn to start to (run) and before you know it, it's caught up in the vacuum and you have a real problem.
Carpet Seam Repair: Carpet seams are supposed to stay together until your carpet wears out. When seams fall apart it's because the installer didn't follow industry standards when he installed it.
Carpet Stair Repair: If the carpet on the stairs matches the carpet in the rest of the house, and the first few stairs are worn out or damaged, you don't have to replace your entire carpet. We can take some extra out of your closet and use it to replace the first couple of stairs.
Pet Damaged Carpet: Very often we get called because someone locked their dog or cat in a room and the animal tried to dig it's way out. If this happed to you, we can help.
Our Jaw Dropping, 100%, Unconditional, Unlimited, Lifetime, Labor Guarantee

National briefs
Obama unveils Rosa Parks statue
WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation's most powerful politicians honored Rosa Parks on Wednesday by unveiling her statue in a permanent place in the U.S. Capitol. President Barack Obama praised Parks as an enduring reminder of what true leadership requires, "no matter how humble or lofty our positions."
Parks became the first black woman to be depicted in a full-length statue in the Capitol's Statuary Hall. A bust of another black woman, abolitionist Sojourner Truth, sits in the Capitol Visitors Center.
"We do well by placing a statue of her here," Obama said. "But we can do no greater honor to her memory than to carry forward the power of her principle and a courage born of conviction."
The unveiling brought Obama, House Speaker John Boehner and other congressional leaders together in the midst of a fierce standoff over automatic spending cuts set to go into effect on Friday.
Setting that conflict aside, Obama and Boehner stood on either side of a blue drape, tugging and pulling in opposite directions on a braided cord until the cover fell to reveal a 2,700-pound bronze statue of a seated Parks, her hair in a bun under a hat, her hands crossed over her lap and clasping her purse. Obama gazed up at it, and touched its arm.
Pope recalls moments of 'joy and light' but also difficulties in emotional final audience
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI bid an emotional farewell Wednesday on the eve of his retirement, recalling moments of "joy and light" during his papacy, but also times of difficulty when "it seemed like the Lord was sleeping."
Some 150,000 people, many waving banners proclaiming "Grazie!" flooded St. Peter's Square, eager to bear witness to the final hours of a papacy that will go down in history as the first in 600 years to end in resignation rather than death.
Benedict basked in the emotional send-off, taking a long victory lap around the square in an open-sided car, and stopping to kiss and bless half a dozen babies. Seventy cardinals, some tearful, sat in solemn attendance and gave him a standing ovation at the end of his speech.
Benedict then made a quick exit, forgoing the meet-and-greet session that typically follows his weekly general audience, as if to not prolong the goodbye.
Given the weight of the moment, Benedict also replaced his usual Wednesday catechism lesson with a heartfelt final address, explaining once again why he was retiring and assuring his flock of 1.2 billion that he was not abandoning them.
Father of Newtown victim asks Senate committee to ban assault weapons
WASHINGTON (AP) — After weeks of arguing constitutional fine points and citing rival statistics, senators wrangling over gun control saw and heard the anguish of a bereft father.
Neil Heslin, whose 6-year-old son, Jesse, was among those cut down at a Connecticut elementary school in December, asked the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday to ban assault weapons like the one that killed his child.
"I'm not here for the sympathy or the pat on the back," Heslin, a 50-year-old construction worker, told the senators, weeping openly during much of his hushed 11-minute testimony. "I'm here to speak up for my son."
At his side were photos: of his son as a baby, of them both taken on Father's Day, six months before Jesse was among 20 first-graders and six administrators killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. That massacre has hoisted gun control to a primary political issue this year, though the outcome remains uncertain.
The hearing's focus was legislation by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., to ban assault weapons and ammunition magazines carrying more than 10 rounds. A Bushmaster assault weapon was used at Newtown by the attacker, Adam Lanza, whose body was found with 30-round magazines.Tumbleweeds invade West Texas home
MIDLAND, Texas (AP) — A brutal storm system that brought 19 inches of snow to some areas of West Texas has delivered something entirely different to one homeowner.
Winds in excess of 60 mph that accompanied Monday's blizzard pushed hundreds of tumbleweeds against a Midland home.
KWES-TV of Odessa and Midland reports one side of Josh Pitman's home is obscured by tumbleweeds stacked one atop the other, blocking some doorways.
Pitman says he recently tore down a fence that would have protected his home from the rambling weeds. He says it's the "most ridiculous thing" he's ever seen.

BOA and Wachovia pull down names at Spoleto
We're told the corporations continue to sponsor the programs. We're told this is not a naming rights issue in which the banks haven't given enough money to claim the marquee. So we're left to wonder why they don't want their names used. Could it be the federal money they have taken to remain solvent since the fall? Don't want to encourage the impression of taxpayer money being at cross purposes.
This and more coverage at Spoleto Buzz.

If that's the case they could claim it as a one percent for the arts kind of thing, no?

Summary of the Collapse of Industrial Civilization
To be truly radical is to make hope possible, rather than despair convincing." ~ Raymond Williams
Small is beautiful, when small is skilled and dedicated... There is so much artificial and plastic crap around, the human spirit yearns for the homespun and the real. ~Gene Logsdon→
I've observed that people tend to live at one of two extremes in the spectrum of life: those who live on the edge, and those who avoid the edge. Those who live on the edge are hanging out in the most dangerous and unstable places — yet they're also often the most powerful agents of change, because the edge is where change is happening; away from the edge, things are naturally unchanging. ~Thom Hartmann
What is not worth doing, is not worth doing well. ~Abraham Maslow→
Society is like a stew: If you don't stir it up every now and then, the scum rises to the top.~Edward Abbey
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. ~Buckminster Fuller→
How thoughtful of God to arrange matters so that, wherever you happen to be born, the local religion always turns out to be the true one. ~ Richard Dawkins
Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning. ~ Joseph Campbell
I sang as one / Who on a tilting deck sings / To keep men's courage up, though the wave hangs / That shall cut off their sun. ~C. Day Lewis
THE SMALL ORGANIC FARM greatly discomforts the corporate/ industrial mind because the small organic farm is one of the most relentlessly subversive forces on the planet. Over centuries both the communist and the capitalist systems have tried to destroy small farms because small farmers are a threat to the consolidation of absolute power.

Baldenegro was recently in Sedona attending a house meeting with supporters and constituents.
"I definitely support the National Scenic Area designation for Sedona … and I think we should work hard to push that forward," Baldenegro said.
She said she had not seen the NSA legislation, which was one of dozens to fail an up-or-down vote along party lines before the 2010 midterm elections.
"This is why I came to Sedona because given how immensely vast this district is, it's very important that we learn what the local issues are," Baldenegro said. "Again, as a result of having talked to the public in Sedona, this is now on my radar screen, and I'm taking the time to learn more about it."
The other major topics she discussed were jobs, the economy and ending the Bush tax cuts, which were set to expire in 2010 but were extended an additional two years.
"Given the downturn in the economy, and the partisan politics that have dominated the conversation of Congress and our state Legislature, people are sick and tired and frustrated and really want representatives who are going to stand up for the people and address their needs," Baldenegro said about her decision to run. She announced her candidacy in August.
While the November 2012 election looked to be a battle against incumbent Republican Rep. Paul Gosar, he announced he was moving from Flagstaff to Prescott following Arizona's recent redistricting process earlier this year. His decision takes him out of Congressional District 1, considered competitive but where Democrats have a statistical edge, into Congressional District 4, which is considered safe for Republican candidates.
In the Democratic primary, Baldenegro is facing former U.S. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick. Businessman Doug McKee and Jonathan Paton, a former state legislator and payday loan company lobbyist, are running for the District 1 Republican nomination.
"The Republicans who are running in this district want to continue to push ideology rather than listen to the constituents of the district and listen to the people," Baldenegro said. "I've heard over and over again that people are tired of the gridlock in Congress, and [politicians] aren't providing solutions to problems in their everyday life."
Baldenegro said she brings with her a strong public policy background working with people from all types of walks of life. She said she worked with community members to address how people can face problems in their communities, cities and towns.
A Navajo, Baldenegro was raised in Kayenta on the Navajo Nation. She was the first American Indian to graduate from Barrett Honors College at Arizona State University with a bachelor's degree in English literature. She earned a law degree from Harvard University and a master's degree in public policy. She now lives in Flagstaff with her husband, Sal Baldenegro, son of Tucson Mexican-American civil rights leader Salomón R. Baldenegro.
Baldenegro has worked mainly in the public sector and worked as an attorney and public policy advocate for nonprofit organizations, such as the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, an alliance composed of 20 of the state's 22 federally recognized tribes. She has also helped nonprofits working to expand educational opportunities, assist start-up businesses, increase economic development and diversification, fight predatory lending practices and create affordable housing.
With many Arizonans out of work, Baldenegro said she supports a jobs plan to rebuild infrastructure projects, roads and bridges, which local officials have told her need federal funds for repairs and upgrades.
She said jobs could come through the installation of broadband Internet access to rural parts of the district, which could then be used for telecommunications services. Granting wireless access through an unused portion of the television broadband spectrum was a component of President Barack Obama's newly proposed American Jobs Act.
Baldenegro said small businesses across the state also need help, primarily through access to financial credit. She also supports ending the Bush tax cuts, which only benefit corporations and the wealthy. She wants to get rid of tax loopholes corporations take advantage of and provide incentives so companies keep their jobs in the United States rather than shipping them overseas.
If elected, Baldenegro would be the first American Indian woman in the country and the first American Indian in Arizona to serve in Congress.
"This would be a wonderful opportunity for us to showcase the diversity of our state," she said. "As Arizonans, we have a rich heritage and tradition in this state. It would be a wonderful opportunity for Arizona to represent the true diversity of the state."
She said that given the gridlock on the state and national level, it's time Arizona had a representative who will give a voice to the people, bring sustainable jobs to the area and provide educational opportunities for everyone in the state.
"We need someone who will stand up and support Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid," Baldenegro said. "I'm ready to stand up and fight for the middle class and the people of Arizona."
Baldenegro has received endorsements from the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, the United Steelworkers of America and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.

On October 20th our third hike of our Fall New Hampshire vacation started at 8 am after having breakfast at the Sunny Day Diner in Lincoln. We estimated the temperature at 18°.
The Lincoln Woods trail, which is the bed of an old logging railroad is flat all the way to the Osseo Trail.
Once on the Osseo trail we started to gradually gain elevation and once again we saw more of the fungi everyone has been talking about this past season.
At 10:58 am we reached the "Down Look" with views towards the Northeast and East into the Pemigewasset Wilderness.
After the "Down Look" we started to hit the rock stairs, log steps
and wooden stairs.
We reached the junction with Flume Slide trail and Franconia Ridge Trail at 11:50 am.
We began the final ledged climb to the summit.
Reaching the summit of Mt. Flume at noon.
Views towards the Franconia Ridge were spectacular!
Here's Mt. Lincoln and Lafayette.
Off to the right stands Mount Garfield with Goback Mountain to the left (in the distance).
To the Northeast and East we once again see the Bond Range.
With clear skies and temperatures we estimated to be in the 50's we had a leisurely 90 minute stay at the summit. We saw only 3 other people on the summit.
Heading back there were numerous opportunities for spectacular photos.
Reaching the wooden stairs it wasn't as difficult as it looked. You only had to be aware of the fact that the steps could be slippery from walking on the damp gravely trail.
As we reached the lower forest I saw these interesting "potato chip" fungi.
Once again the Lincoln Woods trail seemed to go on and on.
But we finally reached the trail head at 4:15 pm; 11.2 miles in 8 hours; 3150 elevation gain.
Our reward: another dinner at the Woodstock Station (our favorite).
This would be our last hike on the "Franconia Notch" side and now it's off to Jackson, New Hampshire!

It comes in a varied palette and is reversible, so switch it up from time to time to beat back the blahs. Match any of our luxurious down comforters with a sumptuous down pillow.
What is goose down?
Down is under plumage — the layer of insulation underneath the feathers of ducks, geese and other water birds. Lightweight and fluffy, each down cluster has thousands of tiny filaments that radiate outward and interlock, creating tiny pockets of air. These air pockets are what keep warmth in, enhanced by your body's own heat. At the same time, down "breathes," allowing air to circulate and wick away moisture. Goose down clusters are highly sturdy, keeping their shape for years. This resilience, along with down's light weight and powerful insulating properties, are what make it such an appealing fill for blankets, comforters and clothing.
What is fill power?
Fill power is the number of cubic inches taken up by one ounce of down clusters. It's determined by the size and strength of the goose down clusters — the bigger, the better — and how much "loft" and insulation they provide. Higher fill power down has more heat-trapping air pockets, yet is lighter in weight.
