Andy......any more clues? Does it look like it's a grass? How tall?
Yes. Best in spring
Sounds good Lyn
Oops! Posted a comment on hello cheeky....er, I mean hello FORKERS ...about this
Hello jess
Best to cut back in spring so leave alone now.
You can cut back pretty hard.....I have done that....but a light scissor-like cut is best in my opinion. I grow a silver leaf form as well as the gold variety. The former is taller whilst the latter more prostrate. In both cases they receive a trim enough not to cut too far Into old wood. For me they are regarded as short term perennials.....I.e. to last about 4 or 5 years.
The potentilla? You can cut it back hard or,lightly trim it. Unpruned it will flower earlier. I prune in autumn to control the size .....haircut and removal of the odd old stems. A food feed in spring too helps
Jess, it's prob because it's "happy" that it isn't producing flowers.
I cut mine back fairly hard every year and basically leave it then to,it's own devices. I apply a,light dusting of fish blood n bonee very spring.
Being only 3 years old though it may not be ready to flower.....it prob will next year.
A west facing wall,should be,good for it.
Yes have grown different varieties of phygelius busy lizzie. That's what it does...viz.,it runs amd runs. It's why I stopped growing it.
If I were to grow it again I would do so where it's rampancy wouldnt matter too much but, in any case, I would dig it up every year and replant after cutting back those roots. Or I would plant it in a pot and sink it in the ground.
Im aware of invasive plants ....they can become a perennial nuisance.
Oops! Er......em....It was only a fiver actually.
Hiya ogster,
No need to worry about leaf drop.
I usually prune mid way in November. However better to do this in early spring.
I use a hedgetrimmer for now and then secateurs later
Well, Dave, it was your idea ....... A good one I think.
I have had excellent service from Ashwoods, perhill nurseries, Cotswold garden flowers, crocus and Hardys
I have had poor service too but...being the persistent "knowing my rights" sort of guy I am........I have always had full recompense. I simply do not go to these guys again though as I feel they should get it right first time
Not too sure about the newspaper offers though! bought illumination pink foxgloves from QVC last year that were good value

Eugh! Argh!!! (thats just how im feeling)
Right, 8 of our Infant classrooms have smelly elonex computers. (the little slims ones that have spontanouesly combusted on my twice when i opened them up to find out why they were over heating!!) My problem is that they are slowly starting to die. So far i have one that wont go further then bios (hdd i suppose is one option) and another 2 that boot when they feel like it.
Now i have 2 options:
1: waste my time and try to keep these machines alive until i get enough budget to buy brand new machines (next year!)...
2: or buy some refubished ones from ICT Direct for a decent price which come with 2 years warranty.
I did ask Sysman for his opinion about this so no offence if you read this sysman!! Just starting to wonder whether i should just replace them all or just the machines with the problems. :confused:

Truckers are reporting rosier earnings but there are caution flags rising behind all the glowing numbers, analysts are saying.
All the major publicly held companies are reporting strong fourth-quarter and improving full-year earnings. But caution is advised before rushing out to buy trucking stocks, analysts say. First, if you're looking for value in the stock market, trucking is not it. Trucking stocks enjoyed a nice run-up last year, so valuations already are somewhat high. Second, comparisons with the 2001 fourth quarter are bound to be favorable as that year-ago period was a deep trough for trucking. Third, the 2002 fourth-quarter numbers for the major national carriers are skewed because the Labor Day demise of Consolidated Freightways dropped hundreds of millions of dollars worth of freight business into the laps of its major competitors.
Still, for an industry that's been down as long as LTL trucking, any silver lining is worth celebrating - even if carriers are warning analysts that their first-quarter and first-half numbers may be disappointing.
Roadway Corp., reported earnings of $13.4 million from continuing operations for its 12-week fourth quarter on record quarterly revenue of $1.07 billion. Including soon-to-be-sold Arnold Transportation Services' results, Roadway reported net income of $28 million.
For the year, Roadway's earnings from continuing operations were $35.1 million, a 14.6 percent increase from 2001 earnings, on revenue of $3.01 billion, up 8.3 percent from 2001 revenue of $2.78 billion. Including ATS's results, net income for the year was $38.9 million.
"We are pleased to end 2002 with a strong fourth quarter and reasonable optimism for the future," said Roadway Corp. Chairman and CEO Michael Wickham. "We began 2002 with concern over the economy and in January experienced tonnage levels at their lowest point in 15 years. Throughout the year, the economy lacked energy and never shifted into the long awaited recovery mode."
Roadway Express, as well as Yellow Transportation and ABF Freight System, has enjoyed a double-digit fourth-quarter bump-up in revenue has along with a rise in fourth-quarter earnings as a result of the Sept. 3 closing of Consolidated Freightways, a $1.5 billion long-haul rival. The carriers have adjusted rates on that old CF freight to the point where they say they are making money on it now.
"It would not be on Roadway trucks had we not gotten increases from CF rates," Wickham said.
Wickham said CF's Labor Day closing "has not overly taxed our system and we are able to meet our customers' requirements. We do not anticipate the need to add capacity until the general economy grows 5 to 6 percent on a year-over-year basis. As might be expected, such a large reduction in capacity has firmed our segment's pricing environment considerably."
Last December, Roadway announced an agreement to sell Arnold Transportation Services for $55 million because as a truckload carrier it was not core to its LTL strategy. The ATS sale to a management group led by ATS President Michael S. Walters and the Jefferies Capital Partners closed last week.
"We believe the short-term earnings reduction caused by the sale of ATS will be partially offset by our use of most of the sale proceeds to pay down debt and generate savings from lower interest expense," Wickham said. "Overall, this sale better positions the corporation to pursue additional LTL opportunities."
For accounting purposes, ATS's results are being treated as a discontinued operation and its earnings removed from operating income. For comparative purposes, that has the net effect of reducing annual revenue by $171 million and operating income by $6.1 million. If the ATS revenue and its annual operating income were included, consistent with the company's fourth-quarter projections, the corporation would have increased revenue by 30 percent and improved its operating ratio by 2.4 points for the quarter.
Roadway predicted its operating margin in the first quarter would be between 2 and 2.5 percentage points with daily revenue growth in the first quarter between 17 and 22 percent. That reflects growth in tonnage picked up from old CF accounts as well as the fact that this year's 12-week first quarter for Roadway has four additional business days compared with last year's period.
Roadway Express posted a 97.6 operating ratio for the year, 95.4 in the fourth quarter. New Penn, its Northeast regional carrier, reported an 88.7 OR for the year, 86.7 in the fourth quarter. New Penn's inclusion accounted for just over 70 percent of the increase in Roadway Corp.'s overall operating income, according to J. Dawson Cunningham, Roadway's CFO.
Roadway benefited immediately from CF's closing in September. But that accounted for nearly all the tonnage growth for Roadway, Cunningham said, meaning there was virtually no non-CF growth last year.
Ed Wolfe, Bear Stearns trucking analyst, noted that it appears Roadway has been more aggressive than long-haul competitor ABF in chasing old CF freight.
Wolfe noted that Roadway's tonnage was up 16.6 percent year over year in the fourth quarter, while ABF's tonnage rose just 6.5 percent by comparison. Roadway's yield, without the fuel surcharge, rose 2.7 percent year over year in the fourth quarter compared with ABF's 5.9 percent increase in yield in the same span, Wolfe noted. That would seem to make a challenge for Roadway to hold onto its recent rate increases with some customers, Wolfe said in a note to investors.
Besides pricing, the overall sluggish economy still remains a major concern to the long-haul carriers. "I would characterize it as not any improvement over the third quarter on business levels," Wickham said. "The activity in the fourth quarter was flat compared with the third quarter, seasonally adjusted."
Wickham said carriers have been able to sustain reasonable rate increases over the past three years because of capacity coming out of the LTL market. "Over the past few years, with that culling out of the market, pricing has stabilized to a point which we haven't seen in several years. You're not going to be able to stretch it to 6 or 7 percent (annual rate increases). We think where we are and where we have been is sustainable given the market," Wickham said.
Yellow Corp., Overland Park., Kan., parent of the second-largest LTL carrier, Yellow Transportation, reported $23.9 million net income on revenue of $2.55 billion, compared with earnings of $10.6 million on $2.49 billion revenue in 2001.
Still Yellow Corp. enjoyed a 19 percent rise in revenue in the fourth quarter compared with year-ago levels and total debt was reduced by $237 million, or 66 percent, from the end of 2001.
Yellow Transportation, its largest unit, doubled its fourth-quarter operating income to $29.6 million on $692 million revenue, compared with $12.4 million in 2001. All financial results presented are for the "new" Yellow, with SCS Transportation recorded as discontinued operations.
"During the fourth quarter, we brought on additional business from industry consolidation in a prudent and disciplined manner," said Bill Zollars, chairman, president and CEO of Yellow Corp. "The impact of these efforts is evident in our strong operating results. In addition, our portfolio of transportation solutions is meeting the complex needs of our customers."
For the year ended Dec. 31, Yellow Corp. reported the following consolidated results:
-- Earnings per share from continuing operations excluding unusual items of $1.03, vs. 56 cents in 2001.
-- EPS from continuing operations including unusual items of 84 cents, vs. 43 cents in 2001.
-- Operating revenue of $2.62 billion, up 4.8 percent from $2.51 billion in 2001.
-- Operating income, excluding unusual items, of $55.3 million, up from $43.6 million in 2001.
-- Operating income, including unusual items, of $46.9 million, up from $38.2 million in 2001.
-- Total debt was reduced to $124 million at the end of last year, a 66 percent reduction from the $361 million debt at the end of 2001. Debt-to-capitalization ratio is 21 percent compared with 41.1 percent at the end of 2001.
Yellow Transportation reported fourth-quarter results as follows:
-- Revenue of $692 million, up 17.1 percent from $591 million in 2001.
-- Operating income, excluding unusual items, of $29.6 million, up from $12.4 million in 2001.
-- Operating ratio, excluding unusual items, of 95.7 compared with 97.9 in 2001.
"Yellow Transportation more than doubled fourth-quarter operating income," said Zollars. "That represents solid performance."
Yellow's LTL revenue per day was up 18.3 percent from the fourth quarter of 2001, primarily reflecting a 13 percent increase in LTL tonnage per day and a 4.6 percent improvement in LTL revenue per hundredweight (3.4 percent excluding fuel surcharge). Virtually all that tonnage growth in the quarter was traced to the demise of CF.
For the year Yellow Transportation reported the following:
-- Operating revenue of $2.55 billion, up 2.2 percent from $2.49 billion in 2001.
l Operating income, excluding unusual items, of $71.1 million, up 21.2 percent from $58.7 million in 2001.
-- Operating ratio, excluding unusual items, of 97.2 vs. 97.6 in 2001.
"For the full year, revenue was up about $55 million and operating income, excluding unusual items, was up over $12 million," Zollars stated. "The 23 percent incremental margins on that revenue increase reflect outstanding cost management and operational excellence."
Zollars said he is predicting "a relatively flat economy in 2003" and expects consolidated revenue for the year to be between $2.8 billion and $2.9 billion. The first quarter is Yellow's "most challenging quarter," Zollars said, with additional expenses of approximately $4 million for its biennial Transformation Conference held recently in Las Vegas and $2.5 million in additional nonunion pension costs.
Bear Stearns' Wolfe said he had three basic reasons to stay low on trucking stocks for a while. Wolfe said he believes there remains too much capacity unless there is a significant improvement in the economy; consensus numbers have remained "back ended and too high"; and there remains the possibility of material freight diversion related to the Teamster negotiations.
Arkansas Best Corp., parent of ABF Freight System, Fort Smith, Ark., reported fourth-quarter net income of $14.5 million on $1.396 billion revenue, compared with $9.5 million in earnings on $1.5 billion revenue in 2001. Fourth-quarter figures include a nonrecurring tax benefit of $1.9 million, the company said.
ABF earned $27.1 million in operating income in the fourth quarter on $344.9 million revenue, compared with $16.5 million in operating income on $302 million revenue in the year-ago period.
For the full year, ABF reported operating income of $68.8 million on $1.28 billion revenue, compared with $79.4 million in operating income on $1.28 billion revenue in 2001. ABF's OR was 94.6 last year, compared with 93.8 in 2001.
"ABF continued to produce good results with a fourth-quarter OR of 92.2," said ABC CEO Robert A. Young III. "Arkansas Best's solid performance during 2002 validated its position as the company with the strongest financial position in the long-haul, LTL industry."
ABF's fourth-quarter billed LTL revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharge, was $22.56, an increase of 5.9 percent over the fourth quarter 2001 figure of $21.30. "The closure of CF has strengthened overall pricing stability in our industry. ABF's ability to secure customer rate increases has improved. For example, in the fourth quarter of 2002, the average percent of rate increase obtained on deferred pricing agreements was better than that for any quarter since the third quarter of 2000 and was almost a full percentage point better than we saw in the fourth quarter of 2001," Young said.
"In an environment where a major competitor goes out of business, ABF's profitability and strong financial position have been advantages in the marketplace," Young said. "We've seen that value is even more important to our customers, and they are displaying a greater appreciation of financial stability in their transportation partners."
Young said it was "difficult to distinguish" the exact amount of business ABF has obtained directly from the CF closure. Additional factors, including the economic environment and the settlement of the longshoremen's West Coast labor dispute, also impacted ABF's fourth-quarter tonnage levels, he said.
"When business levels increase with customers ABF had prior to CF's closure, it is impossible to know which factor caused the change. Some of the additional freight that can be identified as coming from CF is not as profitable as ABF's average business. However, this business has contributed positively to ABF's margins because of the operating leverage that was available throughout the ABF network.
Con-Way Transportation Services, Ann Arbor, Mich., the nation's most profitable trucking group the past half dozen years, reported fourth-quarter operating income of $36.7 million on a 13.4 percent rise in revenue to $525.1 million, compared with year-ago operating income of $35.7 million on $463 million revenue. Gross operating margin deteriorated by 70 basis points to 93 percent, resulting in only slight 2.8 percent growth in operating income in the fourth quarter.
For the year, Con-Way reported $147.1 million in operating income on just over $2 billion revenue, compared with $157.5 million in operating income on $1.91 billion revenue for 2001.

Nikon SB-700 Speedlight
Features advanced multi-functional flash technology
As part of Nikon's popular Creative Lighting System, the SB-700 includes support for Nikon's advanced wireless TTL operation and can function as a wireless Commander with control over two separate groups of Speedlights, or as a Remote Speedlight when controlled by the SB-900 Speedlight or the built-in Speedlight set to Commander Mode in most Nikon D-SLR's. The SB-700 also incorporates a high-speed recycling time of approximately 2.5 seconds for full power with NiMH batteries, and approximately 3.0 seconds with AA Alkaline batteries. The Nikon SB-700 also features a new Quick Wireless Mode with A:B (light ratios) for quick setting of multiple flash units. This makes it easy and quick to control two remote flash units in i-TTL mode.
Additionally, the SB-700 also features enhanced Thermal Cut-Out detection that automatically detects heat build-up due to rapid flash firing. By increasing the recycling time if the temperature of the flash head rises above a certain threshold, the SB-700 protects the flash from damage due to overheating.
For improved durability, heat-resistance and ease-of-use, the SB-700 uses new hard plastic-type color filters for fluorescent or incandescent color temperature balancing. When using the supplied filters, the flash automatically recognizes which filter is being used and adjusts white balance accordingly on select Nikon D-SLR cameras. Additionally, the SB-700's AF-assist illuminator is compatible with the complete line of AF systems used in Nikon D-SLR cameras*.
Similar to the Nikon SB-900 Speedlight, three illumination patterns (standard, center-weighted and even) can be selected in SB-700 to match each shooting situation. When "even" is selected, the light from the flash will cover a subject from center to edges without light falloff. This pattern is suitable for shooting group photographs indoors. The "standard" pattern will cover all conventional, standard flash coverage. The center-weighted pattern provides larger guide numbers than other light distribution types at the same focal lengths. This illumination pattern is suitable for subjects such as portraits, in which the light falloff at the image edges can be ignored.
Like the Nikon SB-900, when the SB-700 is mounted on a camera compatible with user firmware updates, the SB-700 firmware can be updated using the same procedure as with a Nikon D-SLR camera.
Available accessories
The SB-700 uses four AA type Alkaline, Lithium or rechargeable NiMH batteries. To enhance the weatherproof ability of Nikon D-SLRs, optional water guards will be available for select cameras to protect the connection between the flash and camera, allowing users to utilize the flash when weather conditions are less than ideal. The SJ-4 Color Filter set provides a Warming, Red, Yellow or Blue filter for adding color to the background, foreground or just to accent the scene.

Osho continues:
"Any effort can only take you out, outwards. All journeys are outward journeys, there is no inward journey. How can you journey inwards? – you are already there, there is no point in going. When going stops, journeying disappears, when desiring is no more clouding your mind, you are in. This is called turning in. But it is not a turning at all, it is simply not going out.
"But in language it is always a problem to express these things.
"There is an ancient parable: It was a beautiful afternoon and a tortoise went for a walk on the land. He rested under sunlit trees and he roamed around in the bushes just for the delight of it. Then he came back to the pond. One of his friends, a fish, asked, 'Where have you been?' and he said 'I went for a walk on the land.' The fish said, 'What do you mean by 'a walk on the land'? You must mean swimming.' And the tortoise laughed and he said, 'No, it was not swimming, it was nothing like swimming. It was a walk on the solid land.' And the fish said, 'Are you kidding or something? I have been to every place, you can swim everywhere. I have never seen a place where you cannot dive and swim. You are talking nonsense. Have you gone mad?'
"You understand the difficulty of the fish? She has never been on land, walking on land makes no sense. If the tortoise wants to make sense of his statement he will have to say, 'I went swimming on the solid land.' Which will be absurd. But only the word 'swimming' can be understood by the fish.
"A mind full of desires can only understand desire, hence the desire for God. It is absurd; you cannot desire God. God comes to you when desire leaves. The cessation of desire is the coming of God to you. Again, I am using the word 'coming,' which is not true. Because God is already there – you only recognize when the desire has ceased. Nothing ever comes, nothing ever goes, all is as it is. That's what Buddha means when he says: Yatha bhutam – things are as they are."
In this title, Osho talks on the following topics:

SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Saint Francis proved too athletic and skilled to allow Ashford (Iowa)'s plan to slow the Cougars down to work in Wednesday's NAIA Division II women's tournament opening-round game.
The top-seeded and top-ranked Cougars came away with a 57-37 victory. Saint Francis (34-0) plays No. 4 seed Siena Heights (Mich.) (26-8), a 77-59 winner over Tennessee Wesleyan, at 11:15 a.m. Friday in the second round.
They were trying to keep the score in the 30s and 40s and our kids played good enough defense and hit enough shots to move on, Saint Francis coach Gary Andrews said. Happy with our defense and know we can play a lot better, but hopefully we will have more good games.
Give Ashford a lot of credit. Their coach did a good job and had a good game plan trying to slow it down and make it a low scoring game. Our kids did a good job of keeping their composure and found a way to win by 20.
Ashford (12-21) was in no rush in the first half as the shot clock routinely worked its way to less than five seconds before a shot would go up. It worked as the Saints found themselves down just 20-15 with three minutes to go.
The Cougars got out to a 10-2 lead to open the game as the Saints did not record their first field goal until almost nine minutes in when Elizabeth Nardi hit a shot. Ashford started the game 1 of 12 from the floor.
We told our kids if we can withstand the first punch in the face; ... we kind of regrouped and got it within four before they went on that run right before the half, Ashford coach Kelly Kruger said. I was proud of how our kids handled that and kept us in it.
They are better than us, and I think trying to run with them it would have been a major blowout right away.
Ashford pestered the Cougars with determined defense that kept it in the game until Brooke Ridley got to work from in close. Ridley had 12 first-half points and seven rebounds to give the Cougars the nine-point cushion at the break.
There are teams that have already lost and going home so you just have to find a way to win. That is the big thing, said Andrews, whose team shot 9 of 22 in the second half. We got the lead early, and if we would have gotten behind early we maybe could have got a little nervous.
Ashford opened the second half with a chance to cut into the lead with a pair of free throws but Madison Wagner missed both attempts. That seemed to be enough of a spark for Saint Francis to pull away.
I think that tightened us up a little bit instead of being a little closer, Kruger said. Then they made that run and it got to be 15 right away. If only we could have made a few hoops earlier and kept it a little closer the first half.
The Cougars went up 39-25 with just more than 10 minutes to go.
Skylarr Shurn led the Cougars with 17 points, and Ridley added 16 points and 10 rebounds. Jennelle Wilson had 10 points.
Ashford was led by Nardi's 14 points.

Turkish-Islamic Union
Turkey has a historic duty to protect an innocent people who share the same origins and beliefs and who speak the same language. The peace and prosperity of our Turkmen brothers is a historic, moral and political responsibility for Turkey. This can be brought about through the establishment of the Turkish-Islamic Union. In order to bring peace to reign in a region experiencing troubles and suffering, steps toward the foundation of the Turkish-Islamic Union must be taken without delay. The Turkish-Islamic Union is also essential and indispensible for the peace, liberation and happiness of all Muslims in Iraq.
The territory of Mosul was given to the newly founded Republic of Iraq at the end of the First World War, in violation of international law and disregarding the wishes of the people of the region. The fact is that if the historical, geographic, political and cultural evidence submitted by Ismet Pasha at the Lausanne Conference had been considered objectively, if international laws had been applied, and if the referendum demanded by the people of the region and Turkey had been carried out,
then these lands would have become part of Turkey
. This is a known fact, one that must not be forgotten.
This does not, of course, mean the re-acquisition of Northern Iraq. The leaders of the Turkish state and the senior command of the Turkish Armed Forces who are totally devoted to the great leader Ataturk's principle of
"Peace at Home, Peace in the World,"
have many times set on record that Turkey has no aim or intention of occupying Northern Iraq.
However, Turkey cannot ignore the sufferings and difficulties of its relatives living in those lands, nor, of course, of all the other communities.
Ensuring the security of our Turkmen brothers,
who have been ignored by the foreign powers for some 90 years and whom Iraqi administrations have attempted to assimilate
is a moral responsibility for Turkey, the heir to an empire that ruled the region for hundreds of years.
Our Turkmen brothers must have an equal say in the administration of the country, must be able to do business as they wish, must live their daily lives in full possession of all rights, must be able to worship freely and use their own language and, most important of all, must be sure that their lives and possessions are safe.
All the peoples of the region suffered enormously under the Saddam administration. Not just the Turkmen, but also the Kurds, Sunni Arabs and other people all suffered grave losses and lived in fear and terror. There is a lesson to be learned from this historic suffering. An opportunity has arisen for all the peoples of the region to live in peace and security. Policies that trample on rights, laws and good conscience as one community attempts to crush and disregard others are unacceptable in the face of this opportunity to reconstruct in a framework of truth and justice.
The bloodshed in the region can be stopped and the peace that reigned throughout the Ottoman period can be re-established through the foundation of a union based on love and brotherhood in the area.
What happened in the past must be left in the past and all communities must act in a spirit of reconciliation and tolerance if a bright future is to be built. The peoples of the region share the same historical and cultural values and the same beliefs, and must approach one another with
understanding, respect and love,
and be one another's protectors and defenders, rather than enemies and foes.
Allah has revealed in the Qur'an that Muslims are one another's brothers. Certain cultural differences between Muslims must be regarded, not as elements of division, but on the contrary as a diversity and wealth that enrich society. And these cultural differences must not be made the basis of conflict. Allah commands Muslims to
"Hold fast to the rope of Allah all together, and do not separate."
The Kurds, Arabs and Turkmen living in the region must never ignore these facts.
Turkey must embrace the region by combining its traditional peaceable foreign policy and the "Ottoman vision" bestowed on it by history, thus winning over the whole people of the region and uniting them around a common value, and initiating a "cultural policy" and economic leap forward that will ensure they look at Turkey sympathetically. A strengthening of the cultural and commercial ties that already exist in the region, the prevention of instability and disorder and winning over the hearts and minds of the people of the region must form the basis of Turkey's "Mosul-Kirkuk Policy."
The most important way of bringing all this about is the immediate foundation of the Turkish-Islamic Union that will protect the unitary structure of all states and guarantee, under a laic system, freedom of religion and ideas of all peoples under Turkish leadership.
It is essential for common factors between states to be well evaluated in order for this union to be brought about; language is one such factor. The establishment of a linguistic union based on Turkish between the Turkic republics will weld them together.
Steps in the direction of linguistic union will make a great contribution to the objective of a Turkish-Islamic Union. In our view, linguistic union among the Turkic states must be based on the "Turkish of Turkey."

OPEN DAILY 7:30am - 9:30pm
Pot roast is typically a weekend dinner, requiring loads of time in the oven. Scented with rosemary and thyme, these delicious, individual-sized ones speed up the process to get dinner on the table in under two hours, most of which is hands-off time on the oven. This makes a great meal on its own, or with some good bread and a salad.
This hearty salad is loaded with crunchy, lightly cooked broccoli and dressed in creamy almond vinaigrette.
When roasted, cippolini onions turn sweet and flavorful. Serve this dish with a big green salad and mashed potatoes for a heavenly fall meal.
Packed with butternut squash, bananas, and spinach, this delicious smoothie is more of a meal than a drink.
This mostly hands-off dish is delicious served over rice with chopped cilantro, chives, or toasted coconut flakes.
Papalo is an herb which is a staple in Mexican cooking, and is often set out on the table at mealtime with bunches of parsley and cilantro. It has a unique, distinctive flavor that is similar to cilantro and goes well in dishes where you would use that herb - but be aware that a little goes a long way.
Serve these delicious summer rolls with your favorite dipping sauce. They make a lovely light meal.
Furikake is the salt & pepper of Japan, often sprinkled on rice to make it more flavorful. It's a crunchy, salty seasoning that typically contains bonito flakes or salmon bits, as well as MSG. This home-made version is simple to make. Try it on rice, as they do in Japan, or on popcorn for a yummy treat!

"Andrew Morton--author of the groundbreaking 1992 biography Diana: Her True Story--presents a photo-laden, gossip-studded history of the newlyweds that will satisfy royal fans hungry for more." --Entertainment Weekly
"This book is by Andrew Morton, the British journalist turned royal biographer, almost as famous as his tiara-topped targets...[who] examines the couple from the perspective of a biographer who knew Diana well and watched William grow to manhood." --USA Today
ANDREW MORTON is one of the world's best-known biographers and a leading authority on modern royalty and celebrity. His groundbreaking 1992 biography revealed the secret world of Diana, Princess of Wales. Written with her full, though then secret, cooperation, the book changed the way the world looked at the British royal family, prompting Tina Brown to declare in The Diana Chronicles: "The journalist Morton most reminds me of is Bob Woodward."
Diana: Her True Story was a #1 New York Times bestseller; and Andrew Morton has gone on to write bestselling biographies of Monica Lewinsky, Madonna, Tom Cruise, and Angelina Jolie. The winner of numerous awards, including Author of the Year by the British Book Awards, Investigative Reporter of the Year by What the Papers Say, and Scoop of the Year by the London Press Club, Morton lives in London.

Can your employer affect your commute?
Follow the authors on Twitter: @shomik_raj and @canaless
"It takes over 40 minutes just to get out of the parking lot. There has to be another way!" Listening to Manuel, an executive from Sao Paulo, was the tipping point that convinced us to convert our theoretical analysis on the potential of "corporate mobility" programs into real-life pilot programs in both Sao Paulo and Mexico.
Corporate Mobility Programs are employer-led efforts to reduce the commuting footprint of their employees. Such programs are usually voluntary. The underlying rationale behind them is that improved public transport systems or better walking and cycling facilities are necessary but not sufficient to address urban mobility challenges and move away from car-centric development. Moreover, theory suggests that corporate mobility initiatives may have the potential for a rare "triple bottom line": they reduce employers' parking-related costs, improve employees' morale and reduce congestion, emissions and automobility. In other words, corporate mobility programs are good for profits, good for people and good for the planet.

From one billion cars to one billion bicycles
In 1993, when I was 10 years old, my family took a trip to Beijing, where the large boulevards provided us with an image that seemed reversed: bicycles everywhere, punctuated by the occasional car. The young and old rode nearly identical two-wheeled machines to get where they needed to, and the internal combustion engines were sidelined, weaving their way through an army of peddlers. At that time, writes Kristof in 1988, 76% of road space in China's capital was taken up by bicycles – and one in every two people owned a bicycle (that's 5.6 million bikes for 10 million people).
Fast forward 20 years: Beijing's traffic patterns are impressive for a very different reason. Cars now clog the streets, slowing down rush hour traffic to 9 miles per hour, and bicycles have all but disappeared. Chinese consumers have overwhelmingly embraced the car - from 1990 to 2000, their number increased from 1.1 to 6 million (a 445% leap). The hunger for cars is growing; China is now home to over 78 million cars, of which 6.5 million are in Beijing alone.
Bike Local, Think Global and What to Do When the Car is Unavoidable
A few years ago I proudly put a sticker on my bicycle that claimed one should 'bike local' in order to 'think global.' These days, it seems that the car is unavoidable in the majority of growing cities and that instead of biking local one should avoid commuting at all.
Transport and Mega-events – How to get the most bang for the buck?
Mega-events such as the Olympics and the World Cup can be catalysts not only for huge investments in infrastructure, but also policy changes that may induce positive behavioral changes. Transport operations and mobility are particularly important for mega-events as they involve much planning and long-lasting infrastructure. The question, however, is how to keep the long-term development vision and legacy in mind while meeting the shorter-term mobility nee
Transport in Mega-cities -- Does city size matter?
I just returned from São Paulo, perhaps the third biggest metropolitan area in the world with a population of 18 million and an endless vista of apartment towers and commercial buildings in almost any direction from the center. The traffic problems are large and reported in the daily newspapers as the peak number of kilometers of the main road network in congested conditions (equivalent to LOS F). This indicator tends to range between 100 and 200 km for any given day

"Buchmueller & Levy: Affordable Care Act to feed Americans' addiction to subsidies" - Detroit Free Press. 10/26/2013.
Helen Levy and Thomas Buchmueller look at how subsidies currently operate in employer-provided health care and how they will operate under the ACA. They conclude that "new subsidies introduced by the Affordable Care Act will substantially increase private insurance enrollment among working poor and middle-class families, who for too long have not been able to afford it. At the same time, changes to the tax exclusion for employer-sponsored insurance will reduce subsidies for those Americans who don't need the[m]."
