'Not too bad' may be the best we can hope for
In an email exchange this month with Jay Ferrell, University of Florida Extension weed specialist, he gave me a "head's up" about a story coming out in the local paper concerning herbicide-resistant Palmer amaranth where Andy and Scott Robinson farm in Williston, Fla.
Immediately a cold shiver went down my spine. Knowing the Gainesville Sun doesn't have any ag writers, I was greatly concerned, not at what Andy, Scott or Jay had said, but at what would be written in the article.
Just a couple months ago, I saw a news piece about strawberry producers that made me mad, as they say, "as a wet settin' hen." The really cold weather that reached far down into South Florida this winter had done a number on strawberry production, and all of the crop came in at once. Of course, this put a glut on the market and prices plummeted. Producers picked some, but when the price received dipped below what it cost them to harvest, the producers stopped picking. Big, beautiful berries lay in the fields rotting away in the Florida sun.
You and I know the producer had little choice. But the media thought otherwise. In the news story, the reporter went to a soup kitchen in Miami and asked people there, "What do you think about these farmers letting their strawberries go to waste in the field instead of picking them?" What were these people going to say? A group of people with no jobs, no means of supporting themselves, getting a free meal on the farmers' and all taxpayer's dime in the first place, of course their comments were harsh on the "greedy" farmers.
I was fit-to-be-tied after seeing this so-called "news," with no amount of objectivity. Buried in this three-minute hack job of the strawberry producers, was about a 10-second sound bite from a producer that really caught my attention, wherein he said, "I would open up my field and let folks come in and pick all they want, but I cannot afford the liability that someone may trip and fall and want to sue me." That's the real shame. The producers hands are tied in every direction, and even if they wanted to do something viewed as "good" to the general public, the risk was simply too great.
With this obviously still fresh in my mind, I was expecting the worst with the article on resistant weeds in peanut production. However, to his credit, the author did a fair job and the article turned out better than expected. As Jay said, "The reporter wasn't familiar at all with agriculture, and I was really nervous as to what he was going to say in the article. A couple of his statements weren't exactly on the mark, but, all-in-all, it wasn't too bad."
That's probably the best we can hope for these days.

Review and Giveaway (CLOSED): Be Pawsitive – Delivering happiness to dogs in need
Posted in Dog Food/Treats/Chews, Doggies, Eco-friendly & Organic, Past Giveaways, Reviews on 05. Aug, 2013
Be Pawsitive – Delivering happiness to dogs in need. It's subscription service for dogs bringing delicious, organic dog treats to your front door on a monthly basis, or on a schedule that fits your needs and your budget the best. For every box they send out, they donate a box to a shelter dog! Pretty cool, eh?
The girls got excited when they received a box from Be Pawsitive. Kiko especially was excited, as you can see in the photo above. She seems to know when the packages are for her! Be Pawsitive sent a bag of their Power Berry Oven Baked Dog Biscuits and the girls absolutely love them! The impressive list of ingredients includes items I have in my food pantry: Whole Oat Flour, Whole Barley Flour, Dark Rye Flour, Canola Oil, Brown Rice Flour, Dried Cranberries, Dried Apples, Cracked Flax Seed, Carrots, apple Cider Vinegar, Alfalfa, Rosemary, All Spice, Ginger, Calendula and Rosemary Oil. Did you notice – no preservatives, no chemicals – just pure goodness? The treats smelled so good when I opened the bag; even Kiko couldn't help but stick her nose in it!
Many shelters and rescues try and teach their dogs some basic commands, so that when they meet their potential adopters, they are ready to show them they are good boys and girls. Dogs that have basic obedience training are more likely to get adopted. I was at the Southside Animal Shelter last Saturday and a lady was looking for a medium-sized dog that was behaved. She was very particular about the type of dog she wanted because she was older and simply wanted a mellow dog – a cuddle bug. This is okay – some people want a certain breed, some want a puppy, some want adult dogs – it really depends on the person. Be Pawsitive knows the importance of having treats available for shelter staff and volunteers, which is why they donate each time you make a purchase.
Be Pawsitive has many organizations they partner with for donations of their healthy treats, but they also encourage their subscribers to recommend shelters and rescues to receive donations. I applaud them in their efforts and their mission "to provide the highest quality all natural, USDA certified organic dog treats for your dog and at the same time give back to those dogs in need of a little extra love."
I highly recommend joining Be Pawsitive because you are not only doing something good for your dogs, you will be doing something to help shelter dogs. How can you resist? Treats made with all natural ingredients, certified organic, wheat-free, made in small batches, yummy flavors and finally – MADE IN THE USA!!!
Subscription Prices:
WIN IT: One (1) lucky dog will receive a bag of treats from Be Pawsitive and the 501 © (3) shelter or rescue of your choice will also receive a bag of treats!

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Southwest Airlines has begun offering daily nonstop flights from Richmond to Orlando, Fla.
Southwest senior vice president Dave Ridley tells the Richmond Times-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/1iET6qg ) that additional destinations from Richmond International Airport would depend in large part on how the market responds to the airline's service.
Greater Richmond Chamber president and CEO Kim Scheeler says Southwest's entry into Richmond creates more opportunities for businesses to broaden markets.

Reviews for Bacon Breakfast Pizza
Sort By :
"recipe met all my favorite requirements: EASY1 FAST1 DELICIOUS! and fun to eat! Gladly I add this to my breakfast/breakfast for dinner rotation."
"Made the recipe as written and thought it was average. Needed seasoning to give it more flavor. I think that the bacon did not give it enough flavor for my taste and that the addition of sausage would have helped. It was easy to make and attractive,"
"I haven't tried this recipe yet, but want to...but for those of you who have, how would it be if you spread a bit of sausage gravy over the crust before putting on the eggs and cheese? Campbell's has a very good canned sausage gravy that would make it quick and easy."
"Very good...quick and easy. I used microwave bacon and crumbled it on the pizza. Reheats well."
"I changed this up slightly; added a chicken gravy on top of the crust-it ads a great touch and helps keep everything together. Also used crumbled sausage instead of bacon bits, and substituted croissant rolls for the pizza crust, made it more buttery and breakfast-y."

Mika snapped up by modelling agency
Singing about Grace Kelly one day, and the next day you're on the way to supermodel stardom. Okay, maybe not quite, but it could happen for Brit pop singer Mika, who has just signed with modelling agency Models 1.
The 24-year-old has been snapped up by the London agency who already have high hopes to land him an underwear contract. But Mika isn't quite so eager to show off what he's got, according to The London Paper. His new agency is located above his gym in Covent Garden, where a few of its gay members are purposefully reorganising their workouts in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the star.

No. 480: September Trade Balance, Presidential Election
What is this?
September Trade Balance, Presidential Election
November 8, 2012
September Trade Data Suggest Upside Pressure on GDP Revision
Hurricane Sandy May Have Disrupted Flow of Trade Data
No Meaningful Shift in Control of U.S. Government,
As Budget-Deficit and Debt-Limit Woes Come to the Fore
PLEASE NOTE: The next regular Commentary is scheduled for Thursday, November 15th, covering the release of October retail sales, PPI and CPI, followed by a Commentary on Friday, November 16th, reviewing October industrial production.
The Special Commentary now scheduled for Monday, November 12th, will update the broad economic, systemic and inflation outlooks, in the context of the 2012 election results and the latest available detail on economic reporting, federal government fiscal operations, and Federal Reserve monetary activities. Any further publication detail will be posted in the schedule box on www.ShadowStats.com.
Best wishes to all — John Williams
Opening Comments and Executive Summary. The election appears to have resulted in no meaningful shift in control of the United States government. Despite any near-term, post-election niceties by partisan rivals, prospects for meaningful action by the White House and Congress to establish fiscal discipline, or to heal the structural impairments in the U.S. economy, remain nil.
When Congress and the White House last were negotiating "deficit reduction," the package purportedly being discussed—before negotiations collapsed—was little more than fluff. Now, with the "fiscal cliff" looming at year-end, at least partially as a result of last-year's failed deficit negotiations; and with the U.S. Treasury indicating that the next increase in the U.S. debt ceiling will be needed around year-end; deficit reduction issues (taxation and spending) will be coming to a head quickly, along with questions of renewed economic stimulus.
There is no reason to expect that renewed efforts at federal budget deficit reduction will result in anything more than the usual smoke and mirrors, further increasing, not reducing, long-term U.S. sovereign-solvency risk. In reality, the U.S. economy has not recovered, and no recovery is pending. Consumer liquidity remains severely impaired, and broad business activity continues to falter anew. As a result. the actual federal budget deficit going forward will be much worse than the relatively rosy numbers being used as the basis for government negotiations.
Accordingly, global market reaction—to a severely deteriorating outlook for U.S. fiscal conditions—increasingly should reflect massive flight from the U.S. dollar and movement into gold and the stronger Western currencies. These circumstances will be explored in detail in the Special Commentary. The general outlook put forth in Hyperinflation 2012 has not changed.
September U.S. Trade Balance. The headline September 2012 trade deficit showed an unexpected narrowing to $41.5 billion from a revised $43.8 (previously $44.2) billion in August. The reduced level of deficit, however, may have been an artifact of disruptions to the flow of trade-data reporting from the impact of Hurricane Sandy. While the late-October storm had no impact on actual September trade activity, it appears to have delayed the reporting of some September imports, which could mean a faux reduction the monthly trade shortfall. To the extent there were distortions, the detail should be corrected with next month's reporting. Actual trade activity in October and November will reflect disruptions to physical imports and exports. Irrespective of near-term reporting distortions, the U.S. trade deficit continues in a pattern of long-term deterioration.
The reported narrowing of the September deficit also worked through to the imputed annualized quarterly trade deficit, adjusted for GDP-related inflation. While real (inflation-adjusted) third-quarter 2012 deficit still appears to have widened relative to the second quarter, the pace of deterioration was not as bad as estimated initially. As a result, the November 29th first-revision to the third-quarter 2012 GDP estimate should see some positive pressure from the September trade results.
[More complete details on the September trade realease are found in the Reporting Detail section.]
Hyperinflation Watch—Update Pending. The broad outlook has not changed from that outlined in Hyperinflation 2012, but it will be updated fully in the pending Special Commentary. For new subscribers and for anyone else not familiar with my general outlook, the recent summary in the Hyperinflation Watch section of Commentary No. 479, and particularly the hyperinflation report (linked above) are suggested as background material.
U.S. TRADE BALANCE (September 2012)
Narrower September Deficit (and August Deficit in Revision) Suggests Some Upside Pressure on GDP Revision. The headline September trade deficit narrowed, along with a revised August number that indicated less monthly trade deterioration than had been reported initially. While the impact of these numbers should be a positive contribution to the next GDP revision, that impact could be fleeting. To the extent that the narrower deficit was due to disrupted flows of trade data from the impact of Hurricane Sandy on the daily operations of the data-reporting and compiling government agencies in New York and Washington, D.C., the numbers will be revised in the next reporting cycle.
Nominal (Not-Adjusted-for-Inflation) Trade Deficit. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and the Census Bureau reported this morning (November 8th) that the nominal, seasonally-adjusted monthly trade deficit in goods and services for September 2012, on a balance of payments basis, narrowed to $41.5 billion from a revised $43.8 (previously $44.2) billion in August 2012. The September 2012 deficit narrowed from a $44.5 billion deficit in September 2011.
Although the actual trade activity in September was not affected by Hurricane Sandy—the storm did not make landfall in New Jersey until October 29th—disruptions from the storm may have delayed some reporting of September trade activity (particularly imports), with the likely effect of narrowing the reported deficit. Any such reporting distortions in September activity would be revised with in next month's reporting, and a clarifying comment on the reporting impact of Hurricane Sandy may be released shortly by the Census Bureau.
As noted in Commentary No. 479, however, actual physical disruption to trade activity in October and November would have followed from factors such as the shutdown of the Port of New York. Those effects likely will be seen in a short-lived narrowing of the trade deficits during those months.
Against the revised August detail, the seasonally-adjusted September 2012 trade balance reflected an increase in both exports and imports, with export growth outpacing in increase in imports. Again, that pattern may have been exaggerated by the reporting issues.
Crude Oil and Energy-Related Petroleum Products. For the month of September 2012, the not-seasonally-adjusted average price of imported oil rose to $98.88 per barrel, from $94.36 in August, but it was down from an average $101.00 in September 2011.
In terms of not-seasonally-adjusted physical oil imports, September 2012 volume averaged 8.222 million barrels per day, versus 8.835 in August, and it was down from 9.423 million barrels per day in September 2011.
Other Cautions on Data Quality. Beyond possible short-lived disruptions from weather impact, the standard caution here for the monthly detail is that heavy distortions likely also continue in the seasonal adjustments, much as has been seen in other economic releases, such as retail sales and payrolls, where the headline number reflects month-to-month change. As has been discussed frequently (see Hyperinflation 2012 for example), the extraordinary length and depth of the current business downturn have disrupted regular seasonality patterns. Accordingly, the markets should not rely heavily on the accuracy of the monthly headline data.
Real (Inflation-Adjusted) Trade Deficit. Adjusted for seasonal factors and net of oil-price swings and other inflation (2005 chain-weighted dollars as used in reporting real GDP), the September 2012 merchandise trade deficit (no services) came in at $46.8 billion, versus a revised $48.2 (previously $48.4) billion in August. September 2012, however, showed slight deterioration versus the September 2011 estimate of $46.6 billion.
With full third-quarter 2012 estimates in place, along with revisions to second-quarter 2012, the real third-quarter deficit now annualizes out at $568.2 billion (previously $572.6 billion, initially $558.6 billion). With the annualized pace of the second-quarter 2012 trade deficit now revised to $563.5 (previously $562.4) billion, the latest data suggest that the trade numbers still should have a small negative impact, albeit less-negative than initially, on the net-export account in the GDP estimate. Accordingly, that less-negative third-quarter trade number is consistent with some upside-revision pressure to the first revision of the third-quarter 2012 GDP, on November 29th.
Week Ahead. Whether or not manipulation has taken place in recent labor and GDP reporting, there are significant reporting-quality problems with a number of widely followed series. Headline reporting issues are tied largely to systemic distortions of seasonal adjustments, distortions that have been induced by recent, unprecedented economic turmoil in the post-World War II era of modern economic reporting. These distortions have thrown into question the statistical-significance of many popular monthly headline data. In any event, where numbers are too far removed from common experience, they tend to be viewed by the public with extreme skepticism.
Still, recognition of an intensifying double-dip recession has taken a stronger hold, while recognition of a mounting inflation threat has been rekindled a bit by recent Fed monetary policies and rising headline inflation numbers. The political system would like to see the issues disappear; the media does its best to avoid publicizing unhappy economic news or, otherwise, it puts a happy spin on the numbers; and the financial markets do their best to avoid recognition of the problems for as long as possible, problems that have horrendous implications for the markets and for systemic stability.
Until such time as financial-market expectations catch up fully with underlying reality, or underlying reality catches up with the markets, reporting generally should continue to show higher-than-expected inflation and resume indicating weaker-than-expected economic results in the months and year ahead. Increasingly, previously unreported economic weakness should continue to show up in prior-period revisions.
Retail Sales (October 2012). Scheduled for release on Wednesday, November 14th, by the Census Bureau, the headline October 2012 retail sales number has a fair shot at an outright monthly contraction, disappointing already-weak market expectations. The monthly headline number would appear even weaker, after adjustment for headline October CPI inflation. Structural liquidity problems besetting the consumer continue to cap sustainable consumption growth at a level below the pace of official inflation.
Producer Price Index—PPI (October 2012). The October 2012 PPI is scheduled for release on Wednesday, November 14th, by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The headline October PPI likely will be positive, but well below the 1.1% reported in September. Depending on the oil contract followed, oil prices were down month-to-month in October by one-to-five percent, on average. That drop in energy prices should be offset largely, if not fully, by supportive seasonal adjustments in the month. Higher food prices in combination with still relatively strong "core" inflation should help to generate a net gain in month-to-month October wholesale inflation.
Consumer Price Index—CPI (October 2012). The release by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the October 2012 CPI numbers is scheduled for Thursday, November 15th. Headline CPI inflation rate is due for a more subdued rise, on both a monthly and annual basis, than was seen in September 2012 (headline monthly gain then of 0.6%), reflecting positive seasonal adjustments to otherwise declining gasoline prices and rising food and "core" inflation. Headline inflation reporting likely will top a minimal gain expected by the markets.
Unadjusted monthly average gasoline prices declined by 2.5% in October 2012 (Department of Energy). October seasonal-adjustment factors, however, tend to boost energy-price inflation, where an unadjusted 4.3% monthly decline in October 2011 gasoline prices became a 3.1% decline after seasonal adjustments.
Year-to-year total CPI-U inflation would increase or decrease in October 2012 reporting, dependent on the seasonally-adjusted monthly change, versus the virtually unchanged (a 0.03% contraction) reading in the adjusted monthly level reported for October 2011. I use the adjusted change here, since that is how consensus expectations are expressed. To approximate the annual unadjusted inflation rate for October 2012, the difference in October's headline monthly change (or forecast of same) versus the year-ago monthly change should be added to or subtracted directly from the September 2012 annual inflation rate of 1.99%. For example, if the headline October CPI-U gained 0.2% for the month, annual inflation would be about 2.2%
Industrial Production (October 2012). Due for release on Friday, November 16th, by the Federal Reserve, the headline October 2012 industrial production number is likely to show an outright decline, reflecting increasing efforts at reducing undesired business inventories. The headline growth most likely will be weaker than minimal plus-side market expectations. These numbers, however, remain subject to massive and irregular revisions that can distort the latest month's reporting.


text: Greetings Elfsea! We are in the process of questioning the candidates who wish to be the next Baron & Baroness of Elfsea, and this is a good thing, and important to counsel the Crown. Occasionally in the process of such events, there are questions which you wish would be asked, but are uncomfortable to ask yourself. There are various reasons, from fear of being a "social outcast" to not wishing to risk angering one of the candidates. These feelings are understandable, but if you feel this way, my first counsel to you would be to ask the question, it is almost surely not going to get anything near the level of reaction you feel it will. If you still feel that you cannot ask the question, then I offer the following service. Send your question to "questions at elfsea.net" and I will ensure that your anonimity is preserved, but the question will get asked in this public forum for the candidates to respond to. The only type of questions I will not ask are questions directed to one and only one candidate. Any question worth having the answer to is worth asking all the candidates. I also reserve the right to not ask a question if I consider it completely inappropriate. I realize that this is a social game, and that the social pressures can stiffle open discourse, and I hope that this will help with that. For those who may question the need for this, I offer an example. If someone were curious about the religous beliefs of the candidates, and how that might affect their leadership of the Barony. If one candidate were a practioner of norse religion, and the person wishing to ask the question was known to have strong Christian views, then the question might be viewed as an attack on that Candidate, even if it was not meant to be so. Other examples simply involve cases of the very real social pressure of "peer fear" and fear of "brass hats". The candidates would all do well to remember that, regardless of their current station, there are those who will consider you a "brass hat" merely because you seek the leadership of this Barony. I hope I have made clear my offer of assitance, and the reasons for it. Timothy of Glastinbury

This club does not currently have any active members. If you are interested in the club, please contact the Plant Science department office.
The Agricultural Biology (Ag Bio) Club was founded to promote unity among Ag Bio majors with interests in Entomology and Environmental Health. Ag Bio Club welcomes all majors to come to the meetings. Club meetings are posted in 2-126 and on the Ag Bio Club board.
The major event the club focuses on is the Insect Fair held in October with Pumpkin Festival. Many members and those dedicated to going on the club's biennial trip to countries in Southeast Asia need to volunteer up to 40 hours of help at the Insect Fair. The 40 hours of volunteer time will pay for your plane ticket and lodging expenses on the next trip. In previous years, Insect Fair and Reptile Fair were held separately, this year they will be combined. So, in addition to bugs at this year's Insect Fair, there will be a few reptiles in Building 2. We hope that you come join the fun!
In the past, many Ag Bio majors knew of Dr. Lester Young as an advisor and as a well respected instructor of many Ag Bio courses. Today, Dr. Young's job is dealing with the entire College of Agriculture as Interim Associate Dean. You will be missed and we all wish you good luck in that big office! Fortunately we still have two excellent advisors and instructors of Ag Bio. Dr. Richard Kaae and Dr. Greg Partida have been Ag Bio instructors at Cal Poly Pomona for a lengthy amount of time. They are great instructors, easy to talk to and barely bite at all.

IACP- Saint's Preserve Us - Part two- Porco Maiale From Pig to Pork Tuscany
In Tuscany I am very lucky to be able to buy almost any pig part I may need to follow the Nose to Tail philosophy.
Living in a land where war raged for years, food is a treasured item, those remembering when there was none. Animals are raised and killed with respect and love as they will, tomorrow, be on the table and, still for farmers, provide nourishment and sustain them through the winter.
Although war no longer rages on Italian territory, the raising of animals for food and hunting are part of everyday life. The role of the Norcino, or pork butcher, is still needed. When one has pigs, a norcino is called in for the killing and preparation of the salami, prosciutto and spalla to be aged for the winter.
Grocery stores are quickly replacing the local markets as women go to work to supplement the family income and leave the kitchens armed by patient and loving grandmothers always ready to cook and feed the family.
The markets are home to traditions. Being a butcher is still an honored art, beginning young, apprenticing, training to finally know the animal and handle knife. When shopping at the market, there are no plastic wrappers with meat in styrafoam trays, but rather sides of beef, waiting to be cut by the master butcher.
Shopping requires a large act of faith.
One must establish a relationship with the butcher and place your family's happiness in his hands. The recipes is explained to the butcher and he chooses the correct cut for the dish.
Often also giving recipes and recommendations on how to cook it, for how long and what to serve on the side. Perhaps, suggesting a better cut, or recipe for a piece of meat that inspires him that day.
In speaking with Fergus, he stated we should all " Hug our butchers".
I always try to repay the service I recieve from my butchers, by commenting in a loud voice at the fabulous piece of meat I recieved the day before, or how great the new recipes was they gave me.. of course a bag of cookies goes a long way too!
Carpe Diem is the mantra for the market, let the seasons, the harvest and the masters guide you to subliminal bliss. I prefer to shop first then plan my menu later instead of the traditional plan first theory. Use what is the best in season, the price will be lower, and you need to do simpler recipes as it is at it's peak.
My personal mantra is to spend more time shopping and less time cooking. Following the instructions of my market masters I cannot make a mistake!
Ingredients are the most important part of a recipe, not the recipe itself.
High quality meat needs no other sauce than olive oil and salt... of course good oil and good salt on good meat.
Americans spend more money on personal property than food... Italians more on food.
I believe that the people that raise our food for us are intitled to make a decent living, and selling lower quality food requires cutting corners, using antibiotics, hormones, steroids and other things I cannot pronounce to save money on the raising of animals..
Pay more for higher quality...in the long run, your health will benifit from it as well as your lifestyle!
Let's raise the bar for all of us..eat less meat if you must.. but eat better meat!
Near me is a local farmer, starting a new service, e-breeding. You can adopt a pig online and contribute to how it is being fed and support your local farmer. In the end, you recieve fabulous pork raised with organic foods and the best of care!
Explore the cheaper cuts of meat, not all of us want pig's ear salad, or blood sausage everyday, but with good cooking techniques, slow stewing and the double cooking techniques often used to flavor meat, you will be surprised at the variety of parts you will adore!
Viva Pork Belly and Pig Cheeks!

Thousands fly around the world just to get a glimpse of her, she's a source of fash-piration for the likes of Anna Dello Russo and, with that
In honour of her – let's face it – pretty impressive milestone, Liz and her Royal clan are unashamedly celebrating for the entire year as of today with a series of events. This will include trips all over the world, a tour of Britain with hubbie Prince Philip and an actual pageant over the 2012 Diamond Jubilee weekend in June - featuring a 1,000-strong flotilla (posh boat to you and me) and a - *gasp* - BANK HOLIDAY. Hurrah!
Our Queenie knows as well as we do that, when it comes to partying, it's the frock that comes first. And, oh-boy, does Liz know how to work it. She's carried off more colours than we've had hot dinners in her signature uniform of a demure tweed coat and classic courts, and even Anna Dello Russo is jealous of Her Majesty's millinery collection (which is almost as diverse as her own). The editor-at-large and creative consultant of Vogue Japan is so in awe of her, she told Grazia's very own Paula Reed that Elizabeth II 'is my all-time fashion icon. She has the best jewels.' Who could disagree?
So, in honour of the Queen of Fash, we've picked out our favourite Royal looks just for your pleasure. Scroll through the gallery above and prepare to feel seriously proud to be British…

Sir Alex Ferguson believes there's more to come from Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck as their strike partnership continues to flourish.
The duo shone in last weekend's draw with Everton, producing a delightful move for Rooney's second goal that evoked memories of Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke's combination in the Nou Camp in 1998.
Sir Alex is thrilled by what he's seen from the pair, who have hit 45 goals between them this term, and is expecting further progress as they reach their peak in the coming years.
The Reds boss said: "Wayne is 26 now, Danny's 21. You'd think that for the next few years they can only get better. And we hope so. With Danny being fit again and playing consistently, he's developed better.
"Last week we saw something really special. I know there were a lot of references to Cole and Yorke and there were similarities, yes. I thought Welbeck's movement was fantastic last week. Attacking-wise, we were terrific in the second half."
It remains to be seen whether both Rooney and Welbeck start Monday's showdown with Manchester City, though Sir Alex has already stated United will attack at the Etihad.
One thing's for sure: with the Reds having lost only twice on the road in the league this season and City still defending an unbeaten home record, something has to give.
"I think we'll have to have a threat on Monday," Sir Alex added. "We expect our players to step up to the mark and offer a threat to City. No doubt about it.
"We have an interesting combination of things here: the team with the best home record in the country and then the team with the best away record in the country."

OPENhulu rips off Hulu and passes the savings on to you
OPENhulu is the brain child of Matt Schlicht, and the concept is pretty simple. Since Hulu lets registered users embed videos on their own web sites, he figured he might as well grab all the content he could from Hulu (not every video sports an embed code) and post it on a Hulu clone site, then throw up some advertising to see if he could make a few bucks.
Technically, Hulu doesn't stand to lose anything beside brand loyalty and name recognition. Each video includes advertisements, which you'll see whether you watch at Hulu or OPENhulu. But somehow we still figure it's just a matter of time before Schlicht finds a cease and desist letter in his inbox.

Review this game
Nov 23, 2014For only a third of the game's original $15 on other consel systems, the iOS version of LIMBO truly is the bang for your buck.
You are given extremely well controls that rely on swipes made by the player. For a game originally played on a controller, its impressive to not deal with clunky controls and buttons on screen typically found in iOS ports. This adds a lot of interactivity to the game and hopefully more iOS games will implement this control scheme.
Speaking of immersion, the sound quality is fantastic offering a haunting soundtrack. You are relied to use sounds in the environment to complete certain puzzles. Get a good pair of headphones for this.
Although short, Limbo offers a satisfying story about a boy going through Limbo in attempt to find his sister. I felt the game sometimes left you to your own devices too much to piece the story. More information about the boy's background would have made a more compelling story. Though the story arguably isn't the main focus here, as the atmospheric hell lingering with death and despair makes it one of the best forms of art in video games. Add in some clever puzzles both in multiple distinct enviorements, Limbo is worth the five bucks and you will compel you to play this more than once to catch unnoticed details and obtain achievements.… Expand
Dec 29, 2013Limbo is a fun, scary and exciting plat-forming adventure game that awakens your descent as you hurry to solve the forever coming death traps. How many times will you die? Great graphic style, challenging puzzles and down right terrifying events, will have you on the edge of your sit the whole ride. This Indie game is defiantly worth your time and money!
Dec 2, 2013This game has awed me like few platformers ever have. Limbo is a story about a little boy that wakes up in a dark forest. You wake up and start exploring.
There may not be motivation as you move along, but then you'll see the first set of gruesome traps that await you and all you can think of doing, is getting out as fast as possible.
The developers took this mindset into account and cleverly placed traps to kill those who move too quickly out of fear, but then they also placed traps that take advantage of those who move too cautiously. This strikes a real balance that keeps you on your toes, ever watching, ever waiting, ever running. The music and visuals add to the suspense and the tension throughout the game. The deaths are brutal, and they will happen a lot. The game sets you back instantly before the trap that you die on, allowing you to instantly tackle the problem at hand. Sometimes they will even throw curveballs like brain slugs, forcing movement until you hit the light.
The games puzzles have a great variety, and they leave me wanting more. Sometimes, the constant deaths can grow wearisome, but a fantastic game overall. I earnestly want more.… Expand
Sep 4, 2013Limbo is the kind of game that's just perfect for mobile devices. It's perfectly playable in small chunks, but has this "just one more level" edge to it as well. I've never played it on other devices, but I can't imagine better, highly intuitive, controls than the touch controls that are used here. If you're considering getting this game but are a little uncertain because of some reviews saying the controls are imprecise, don't be. As for the often mentioned high difficulty and frustration level, I seriously don't know what they're talking about. The game is certainly challenging, but with a little perseverance and some wit it's very beatable indeed. Death is frequent, and there's a lot of trial and error, but that's just how this game tests your intellect. Failure is never cheap, and never the result of impossibly sharp timing. I'm not an avid platform gamer, I actually shy away from anything that involves too much fast finger action, but even I could handle these challenges. Maybe it's because I grew up in an age of games where limited restarts where a rule (yes, I'm that old...), but the fact that Limbo picks up the game again just a couple of seconds before your demise, and lets you do so infinitely, feels very forgiving to me.
Add to that a highly engrossing atmosphere, very inventive and varied puzzles, a great physics engine, just the right kind of morbid humor, and just the perfect game length and you've got one hell (or should I say purgatory?) of a game.… Expand
This is a fascinating game. Of course my grandson figured out more than I could. The only problem is that it takes so much concentration that it gave me a headache.
Jul 5, 2013The idea, visual look, feeling, mood, atmosphere are perfect! This game is pure genius! The reason it doesn't deserve more than 8 is because the game-play is too frustrating. I couldn't play it trough, and not because it's too hard.. rather because you die a lot of times during a play-trough and every time you need to wait for 10 seconds or more and it gets way too frustrated after you had died a hundred times.. it means you had lost hours from your lifetime, not playing just watching your character die and a black screen :(
If every time I die I could just skip that unnecessary procedure by hitting an Escape or Space or Enter.. I would give it a 9-10… Expand
Jul 4, 2013Great art style, fun puzzles, challenging, rewarding, entertaining, mysterious. The perfect adventure indie game, only problem that i have is that it's too short but i feel it would have gotten repetitive anyways. This game is a must buy if you own an Xbox or Ps3 and enjoy great games.
Jul 3, 2013The game is designed around trial-and-error gameplay, with failed attempts resulting in gruesome deaths (in fact, the developers call it "trial and death" game play). AppsGoer's review is right on time and superb on ideas.
This is a fascinating game. Of course my grandson figured out more than I could. The only problem is that it takes so much concentration that it gave me a headache.
Jul 18, 2013The gameplay is simple and intuitive with a perfect graphic and sound. The level of difficulty is high and isn't easy to find any bug in this title.
Jul 15, 2013Limbo is still a wonderful game even on iOS, but the touch controls makes it the less recommendable version of them all.

text: On June 19, 1993, at 0410 hours Pacific daylight time, a McDonnell Douglas 369D helicopter, N277SP, collided with an electrical power cable while maneuvering on takeoff from a landing zone near Half Moon Bay, California. The helicopter sustained substantial damage. The pilot received serious injuries. The passenger received fatal injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the early morning movie filming operation which had started just after midnight and was completed around 0300.The pilot stated that his work day had started 17 hours prior to the accident on June 18, 1993, about 1030, when he departed his home and flew commercially from Los Angeles to Reno, Nevada. The pilot was to have picked-up the helicopter at the Reno airport. After arriving at the Reno Airport at 1300 hours, the pilot was informed that the helicopter was not at the airport and ground transportation would be sent to take him to the helicopter. The pilot waited in the airport terminal until 1630 hours for ground transportation to arrive. At 1745 hours, the pilot departed the Reno area in the accident helicopter and arrived at the filming site about 1850 hours on June 18, 1993.The helicopter was being used as a camera platform at the filming site which was located on a bluff above the Pacific Ocean. The filming was completed and the helicopter was maneuvering to depart the area about 0410 hours when it collided with the power cable. The cable supplied electrical power to a bank of high intensity lights that were 125 feet high and were illuminated at the time of the accident. According to the film company, the lights produced approximately two million candle power of illumination. The impact with the cable occurred about 25 feet below the lights on the illuminated side. The pilot had made several takeoffs and landings during the course of the filming that morning.


text: Pug cites the definition of "knight" from Webster's, and then writes: > This clearly shows that the SCA's usage of the word Knight is just fine, but > to replace it, we could use other terms. Personally I prefer Fighter or > Warrior over Soldier or Man-at-arms. However, there are only very rare cases where non-knights were permitted to compete in tournaments in the Middle Ages. Certainly, you wouldn't want to restrict non-Chivalry to competing only in "war"-type events. This is one of those things that got messed up in the early years of the Society. In the first several tourneys, there were very few entrants who were not referred to as "knights" or "Sir X". Those elevated to the Peerage at Twelfth Night, AS II (about 14 or so) comprised about 1/3 of the people who had regularly competed at that point (remember, we're only talking about a half-dozen or so tourneys at this time), and were made "Knights of the Laurel", according the the text used. This would be consistent with medieval practice, where nobles who were _already_ knights (small "k") might be inducted into an exclusive royal order of knighthood and become "Knights" (capital "K") of that order. Unfortunately, this distinction was lost early on, so that _only_ members of what soon became known as the "Order of Chivalry" could use the titles "knight" and "sir". If we were to try to be more accurate to medieval practice, _any_ authorized fighter could call themselves a "knight" (small "k"), and use the form "Sir X", and the Knights of the Order of Chivalry, as Peers of the Realm, would be more appropriately styled "Baron" (if we use a primarily English model).

So what do we think of the 2011 UT Dinning Guide?
I just noticed the Union Tribune published their 2011 Dinning Guide on today (or at least I noticed it on the front page today) and I was wondering what the folks here thought about it. I'm only just starting to go through the lists so I can't conclusively say what I agree or disagree with but I am a bit disappointed that their "hottest neighborhoods" only lists a few choices in only two neighborhoods. On the upside, this year they seem to have taken the opinions of supposed experts instead of a popularity poll open to the public (as they've done in years past) so at least Taco Bell isn't listed as the best Mexican food place. ;)
I was disappointed by the weirdly myopic view on best neighborhood for dining. I'd put North/South Park above Hillcrest any day.

What do you suggest instead of "indie". Mom & pop? Non-chain? Self-op? Independent?
So has El Vitral really improved all that much. They do have an extensive tequila selection, but man, the last time I was there - which admittedly was well over a year ago - it wasn't very good. In fact, one of the desserts was actually inedible, we complained (nicely) about it, they still charged us.

I kept hearing about Urban Solace. I went yesterday for lunch. I was eager to read the UT this morning and see how it rated but, alas, I guess its not the trendy 'in-place' anymore. I had the Duckaroni. The first bite was spectacular but I got the feeling (like I get whenever I have beef bourguignon or coq au vin) that it was so rich I wouldn't be able to sustain an active interest. Nice to pass out portions to your friends but a lot to handle for the person who orders it. Mom had the watermelon salad.

Free newspapers: The German situation
Hans-Joachim Fuhrmann, member of the board of the BDZV (German Newspaper Publishers' Association)
When will free newspapers come to Germany? And when they come, what will be the consequences for the paid-for newspapers? newspaper techniques asked Hans-Joachim Fuhrmann, member of the board of the BDZV (German Newspaper Publishers' Association).
newspaper techniques: Why is the German market especially problematical for the introduction of free newspapers?
Hans-Joachim Fuhrmann: Free newspapers are by nature problematical, independent of national markets. They are in total contradiction to the principle that journalistic quality has its price and therefore should not be given away.
nt: Who wants the free newspaper: the publishing house, the advertisers, the readers?
H.-J. Fuhrmann: If anyone, then most likely the readers, and that is exactly the problem. That the free newspaper does not exactly promote the interests of the paid-for newspaper is obvious. But it is interesting to note that the free newspapers effectively reach young readers and apparently can even transform non-newspaper readers into readers. The easily communicable contents, modern appearance and small format prove popular among young target groups. This is demonstrated also by German tabloids, such as 20 Cent, Welt kompakt, News or Direkt. But these are not free newspapers, and that is the major difference.
nt: Is it possible to earn money in Germany with free newspapers? Will there be a cannibalisation effect?
H.-J. Fuhrmann: I will leave it to others to speculate on whether and, if so, how quickly free newspapers could be developed to a profitable business in Germany. Experience shows that, naturally, the established newspapers are in some cases cannibalised to a large degree. It is also no secret that the advertising budgets do not automatically grow when a new medium enters the market.
nt: What strategy should a traditional regional newspaper adopt in order to be prepared?
H.-J. Fuhrmann: I think that the publishing houses are well positioned. After all, the topic of free newspapers has not occupied the attention of the companies only since yesterday. The strategy is obvious: the primary objective is to offensively capture the regional market and accordingly use as many channels as possible to reach as many readers, users and advertisers as possible with attractive offerings.

Here is an adorable handwritten note from one of Dr. Jorge Fabregas' patients, Cooper Dykes after a recent surgery.
Dear Dr. Marshall,
Thank you for the exceptional care that you have been providing to my children, Mary and David, over the past several years. Injuries are an inevitable part of competitive sports, but knowing that my children have the best pediatric sports medicine specialist caring for them makes all the difference.
We are also extremely grateful for the time that you have spent educating us on injury prevention. This knowledge has been invaluable for David as a young, travel baseball player.
Thank you so much Dr. Marshall for everything, you are awesome!
Sincerely yours,
I never thought I would say an "emergency situation" was easy and informative…..but that is exactly what it was with Dr. Primos and Children's Orthopedics of Atlanta. Our 10 year old son, Christopher, plays on lots of organized sports teams – but of course that is not where he was injured. He took an odd fall during a pick up football game on wet pavement. We thought it was just sore, and told him to go to bed and it would be better in the morning.
When he woke up the next morning, he could not move his hand and we were not sure what to do. We decided to take him to COA and Dr. Primos took him in immediately. Dr. Primos and his staff were so friendly and put us at easy right away. Dr. Primos talked to us about what happened (talking directly to Christopher which made him feel he was involved and being heard) then took x-rays. Dr. Primos came back with the x-rays and gave us an update and options. They were able to immediately put on a cast, talked with us about how he could continue to play football while still being safe and answered questions we didn't even know we needed to ask – which was GREAT. He got us out of there and Christopher was back at school before lunch!!
When we returned to have the cast removed – Dr. Primos and his staff were as quick, thorough, informative and friendly as they were the first time. Christopher was glad to hear all the tips Dr. Primos gave him for working his hand back to full motion while continuing to play football and I was glad to hear all the safety precautions he shared with us. Thanks Dr. Primos and COA!
Dear Dr. Primos,
Thank you so much for the care you provide!! My husband and I greatly appreciated your taking time to consult with Dr. Busch and even more, your personal phone call at the end of the work day! Both Matthew and Lauren feel so comfortable with you that it certainly makes these visits better!! Matthew recovering from this third (and hope FINAL) collarbone break really appreciated the prescription of more dairy including more DQ Blizzards.
Again we appreciate you and the care and concern for your patients and the care and consoling for their parents during the journey!!
Hope you are able to get some good rest time in soon! Blessings.
Dear Dr. Flanagan,
Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our little Trip (Dennis). You are a very caring and compassionate doctor, and for that we are very thankful. Your concern you showed for our son & the amount of time you spent talking to us will never be forgotten. You are a one of a kind doctor! Your office staff is impeccable as well. ? We pray that our son will have no more broken bones but if he does, you will be our choice as his doctor. You along with Scottish Rite make it easier to be a parent. We know we have people we can depend on to take excellent care of our child, if needed. Thank God for people like you!

A pilot program is getting under way to help returning veterans go into farming while also revitalizing rural communities.
The Veteran Farmers Project is kicking off in Kansas and Nebraska with a series of workshops in March. Farm tours planned for the summer are aimed at attracting veterans from Missouri and Colorado as well.
The project includes individual consultations, mentoring and help finding financing.
Special projects coordinator Nick Levendofsky of the Kansas Farmers Union says the project is funded by the Agriculture Department's Risk Management Agency and the Center for Rural Affairs in Nebraska.
He estimates that about 40 percent of the veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan would like to live in rural areas to raise their families.

The wisdom of Kaiser Karl #6: Lagerfeld on feelings and youth
'I have no human feelings'
From an interview in the Guardian. Proving that he is wiser than he seems Karl also uttered these sage words:
"What I hate most in life are people who are not really the peach of the day but who want to be young and sexy. You can fool nobody."
"There is a moment when you have to accept that somebody else is younger and fresher and hotter. Life is not a beauty contest."
