Frozen Hunt
Featuring some amazing taxidermy as seen in the Grand Rapids Public Museum (Michigan). This wolfpack appears to be onto the scent of its prey, and I love the poses given in this haunting display. What's hard to convey here is their size--they're quite large animals--and nice and still ;) I also turned the lights down low and colored the scene a moonlight blue in this edit to add even more drama as these prowlers blend into the night.

Colorful fallen leaves decorate a softly flowng waterfall.
A Stream Begins
As runoff from higher ground collects in this deep forest valley, a stream of water begins flowing away, first toward a deep river, and then on to its eventual destination of Lake Michigan. Amazing to think how these little pools can feed into major waterways.
Northern Paradise
...where the waters of the Eagle River flow into Lake Superior. I love the 'micro-waves' in the foreground of this shot, from the slight breeze coming in off the lake.

Voice of the Forest
The peaceful sounds of a babbling brook. This "waterfall" has a drop of just about 8 inches, but it caught my eye and ears. So I enjoyed exploring its angles and reflections and developing this intimate focus on the flow, itself. Thanks for stopping by this little landscape!
Light Chase
'Chasing the light' with line paintings in Lightroom. Sometimes I just like adding special effects, cartoony as they may be, so...voila! :)

Smoky Mountains Grandeur
A view of sunlit valleys below Clingmans Dome - the highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This image combines six shots - three on each side with variable exposures for even lighting throughout.
at Munising Falls. Just a tranquil place. Got off the trail for this one - a hand-held shot (albeit unstable) with very slight shutter drag to show some movement of the water. Same falls as my 'Water Drop' shot from nearly the opposite direction. :)
Storm Stack
An imposing stack of clouds looms large as a formidable stormfront blows in. I was actually here intently photographing the Mackinac Bridge (now behind the camera) when, much to my surprise, this monstrous system snuck up from behind. So I spun around to snap this shot that won the day.
Night Light
Eagle Harbor, Michigan ...with some artistic liberties :) Trying to make the most of an opportune moment here. I was driving by this harbor after sunset and saw this amazing fading light on the horizon, whipped a u-ey, parked and hit the beach. As rain started to fall, I set my tripod, composed a few shots, then had to bail. Would have preferred to stack some shots for better background focus, alas, no. But had some fun dressing it up in post by adding this inspired beam of light. Voila! :) (Best viewed as a thumbnail)

Creamy Sauce Recipes
Cepe Mushroom Gratin Recipe
While strolling in an open-air market in Paris with my father, he noticed fresh cèpe mushrooms. If you've never seen them, they're quite large and brown, very similar to porcini mushrooms. In my opinion, these are very tasty mushrooms and Jean-Damien, my brother-in-law, had mentioned people go "hunting" for these wild mushrooms in the Parisian forests ("les forêts d'Ile-de-France"). Papa bought 2 small cases and I made a very simple mushroom gratin to showcase the unique flavor of these wonderful mushrooms.
I sautéed the cèpes in garlic and sweet basil. Then I transferred them to a gratin dish and covered them with alternating layers of Gruyère cheese and béchamel sauce. The result was a divine, creamy dish that suits the rainy weather we've experienced here in France.

Thai Curry Cheddar Cheese Sauce Recipe
A few months ago, I met with my friend Steve from the Milk Pail Market in Mountain view. He's better known to locals as the cheese expert. On that day, I tasted a wide variety of cheeses. Some of them made me reminiscent of my childhood in France, while others were intriguing and unusual. In particular, there was a vibrant yellow cheese I had never seen before. It's called Thai Curry Cheddar cheese. Since Steve knew that I love mixing cultures and flavors, he thought I'd like it.
Of course, like most cheddars, this cheese could be enjoyed with sliced apples and a crusty bread as a snack. But I wanted to really play up the fusion of cultures represented in the cheese, so I used the cheddar to create a Thai-inspired béchamel sauce that would pair wonderfully with any pasta. Good thing Steve gave me some of his new ravioli to bring home!
Instead of using good ol' nutmeg for the white sauce, I flavored it with melted Thai Curry Cheddar cheese, turmeric, ground coriander, ground fennel, freshly grated ginger, ground fenugreek, a touch of cumin and a fresh bay leaf. The result is an aromatic taste with the richness from the cheese. It was a great addition to sautéed ravioli.
If you're not lucky enough to live down the street from a great grocer like Steve, you should enter our Full Circle giveaway. We're going to pick one lucky winner this week to get a free box of organic farm fresh produce delivered to your home. To enter, just type your name into the box below.

Pumpkin Mac and Cheese Recipe
As I spent my childhood in France, Thanksgiving wasn't part of our traditional feasts. I've come to believe that Thanksgiving is synonymous with an abundance of comfort food. My personal all-time favorite comfort food is mac and cheese, so I tried adapting the dish with the flavors of the holiday season. I added diced pumpkin to the traditional layers of macaroni, white sauce and string-y, melted cheese. The pumpkin infuses a mild sweetness into the dish and really adds another dimension. It also doesn't hurt that the colors are so reminiscent of Thanksgiving.
Mac and cheese is a great dish that is suitable all year round. You can flavor the dish with your favorite ingredients such as morel mushrooms, red pesto or any combination of cheeses. If pumpkin isn't your thing, make your own pasta gratin creation; let your imagination run wild!

Don't tell her I said this, but I'm happy my daughter isn't overexcited about her senior prom.
"I'm going, but only because I don't want to look back years from now and think I've missed out on something," Olivia said as she discussed her budget for this rite of passage for which many students and parents spend way too much money.
My daughter isn't fawning over dresses. She's still looking and rejecting pricy frocks. She grumbled about the price of the prom -- $90 a ticket. The only luxury she's looking forward to is sharing a limo -- and the cost -- with a group of her best girlfriends.
In fact, when our daughter told us her budget for a dress -- $100 "max," she said with emphasis -- her father was surprised.
"That's all?" he asked.
I immediately shot him a stinky eye.
I thought her budgeted amount was just right for a dress she's not likely to wear again. One of her best friends vetoed a dress because it costs about $300 (love her frugal friends!).
Yet many teenagers across the country will do what adults do all the time. They will spend more than they can afford. Students should shave what they could spend for the prom and use it to help pay for books when they go to college in the fall.
For the second year, the spending on proms nationwide has increased, outpacing inflation -- reaching an average of $1,139 per family, according to a survey by Visa Inc.
"Prom has devolved into a competition to crown the victor of high school society, but teens shouldn't be trying to keep up with the Kardashians," said Nat Sillin, Visa's head of U.S. financial education.
As far as who pays, parents are kicking in the majority of the funds. But this often results in teens not focusing on the cost because they aren't paying for it themselves. In looking over the survey, Sillin said he was concerned that many parents making less $50,000 a year were spending more than the average, upward of $1,200.
Parents are always asking me how to teach their children good financial habits. The best way is to use teachable moments that come up in their lives. The prom is a perfect time to show your child how to budget sensibly.
So, have you had the talk?
Did you set specific dollar limits for all the expenses -- dress or tux, shoes, hair, corsage (do the young men still do that?), limo, pictures and the after-party? I still don't understand why people are paying for another party after the party. (I know, I'm sounding old.)
To help with budgeting, Visa launched a free, smartphone app -- "Plan'it Prom" -- that allows parents and teenagers to manage prom expenses. By the way, except for the starting page, Visa doesn't load the app with ads.
"Recognizing that prom spending now represents a major expense for American families with high school students, we wanted to create a fun tool that would help teens budget and save for prom and encourage a conversation about responsible spending between parents and teens," Sillin said.
To stay within a budget, prom spenders need to set limits. You'll find a suggested budget ceiling for 13 categories, including tips to cut costs. The recommended amount for a prom dress, for example, is $145.
The app comes with a "budget health meter" to let users know when they are overshooting their spending plan. If you find yourself creeping into the red, it's an indication you need to cut back in other areas. The app also has a calculator to show the true cost if an item is purchased on credit.
In addition to being available at the iTunes and Google Play stores, you can get it at www.practicalmoneyskills.com/prom.
This is parents' chance to emphasize that a budget matters. So if your daughter is pining or whining for a $300 or $400 dress but you've budgeted $700 total for the prom, she's got to cut expenses somewhere. This is a good financial lesson on discerning what's important when you have limited funds.
I'm so pleased that my daughter has picked up my penny-pinching ways. She's got a good perspective on her prom. She sees it as a nice event to enjoy with her friends but not one that will define her existence. She won't be crushed if her dress isn't to die for. There has been zero drama about her prom. And her measured excitement is helping her keep the costs down. I am so proud of her, I get tears of joy.

Bring In The Outside Furniture!
Who says backyards get to have all the fun? All you yard-less people, take heart! You can add a new meaning to that tired magazine phrase: "bringing the outdoors in." Outdoor furniture feels perfectly at home inside too, and invites a bit of whimsy and summery carefree spirit in along with it.
• It's true: cool shoe companies make cool hotels. Ok maybe not all of them, but Camper does, and the proof is in this sweet little getaway, Casa Camper, which they've set up in Barcelona complete with indoor hammocks. Yes please.
• Martina Arfwidson's Hudson home has all the easygoing touches that make up my dream home, including this indoor swing...which my kids would have to fight me for.
• You remember Shauna & Stephen's lively loft, the one with all the makings of a crafty heaven. Among tools, art supplies, and a million creative DIY projects, you'll find this breezy porch swing, in their living room.
• First off, let's just ignore the pumpkins....I've always loved picnic tables, and feel like between the fickle DC weather and the busy-ness of summer nights, we don't get to use ours enough. Here's the year-round alternative. What do you think?
• Sturdy outdoor adirondack chairs make great extra seating indoors too. This set up hails from Stephen and Todd's Fantastic Mr. Farmhouse, with which I have a not-so-secret obsession. It epitomizes laid back living.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 19 (UPI) -- The government of Nebraska said there were concerns about a proposed reroute of the Keystone XL oil pipeline through the state.
Nebraska legislators objected to the original proposal by TransCanada to build the Keystone XL pipeline through the state. The company proposed an alternative route that avoids Nebraska's Sand Hills area, which includes a major aquifer.
The Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality, in a 68-page report, found the alternative route meets state requirements in avoiding the Sand Hills area. The DEQ, however, said "there are areas along the proposed corridor where fragile soils and aquifer protection are concerns."
The department said the new Keystone XL corridor crosses areas that are technically outside the Sand Hills region but contain fragile soil structures that have "surface features very similar to the Sand Hills."
Keystone XL, as currently proposed, would run approximately 854 miles from Alberta, Canada to Steele City, Neb. There, it would connect to the existing Keystone oil pipeline that runs to a key trading hub in Cushing, Okla. TransCanada is moving forward with construction of the associated Gulf Coast Project, which would extend to refineries along the southern U.S. coast.
The NDEQ said it was expecting an environmental report on the rerouted proposal by August. TransCanada didn't have a public comment on the NDEQ report.

Mauro Icardi came of the bench to open the scoring for the Nerazzurri late in the game, but Arturo Vidal salvaged a point for the Bianconeri.
Both sides had their moments throughout the Serie A encounter, but it looked like the home side had done enough to earn all three points when substitute Mauro Icardi opened the scoring in the 73rd minute.
However, Juve responded immediately as Arturo Vidal equalized just two minutes later to ensure both teams remain unbeaten after three top-flight fixtures.
Inter went into the clash high on confidence after beginning the campaign with two wins from two games, the latest coming at Catania prior to the international break.
Nerazzurri trainer Walter Mazzarri made just one change to that team, with Saphir Taider replacing Mateo Kovacic.
Juventus also started the season with consecutive victories and, in his 100th match in charge, coach Antonio Conte choose Carlos Tevez to once again partner Mirko Vucinic in attack as Fernando Llorente settled for a place on the bench.
The match started at a ferocious pace in the opening quarter of an hour and Inter created the first chance on goal as Yuto Nagatomo struck a volley from inside the penalty area after Alvarez's corner, but Gianluigi Buffon got down to his right to palm away.
Juventus looked dangerous when it was able to get into attacking positions, and the champions thought Vidal had won a penalty when he went down under pressure from Taider, but the Chilean was instead booked for diving.
Inter's productivity in attack increased as the first half went on, but it was Pogba who should have opened the scoring for the visiting side just after the half-hour mark.
However, the France international's close-range effort after Andrea Pirlo's lofted pass was saved Samir Handanovic.
The first period ended with Mazzarri's side on the front foot, but Buffon was in good form to deny Taider after the Algerian skipped past Stephan Lichtsteiner down the left and shot from a narrow angle.
The first 10 minutes of the second half proved to be cagey as neither side posed much of an attacking threat and Juventus appeared increasingly content to sit back and absorb pressure from the home side.
However, Conte's men still looked dangerous on the counterattack and they almost broke to devastating effect just before the hour.
Tevez cut in from the right before playing Vidal in, but he could only fire wide of Handanovic's left-hand post.
But the deadlock was eventually broken at the other end 17 minutes from time as Icardi - who had been introduced from the bench just six minutes earlier - latched on to a perfect through-ball from Ricky Alvarez and fired first time past Buffon.
However, Juventus managed to hit back straight away as Kwadwo Asamoah muscled his way past two defenders down the left before hitting a low cross into the danger area, which Vidal controlled with a superb first touch before placing the ball into the bottom corner.

Exciting 2012 slate includes the opening of ETSU's brand new on-campus stadium
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (October 19, 2011) – Thirty-four home games at its brand new on-campus stadium, a home and home with Tennessee and a trip to the University of Arizona highlight the 2012 ETSU baseball schedule announced Wednesday afternoon by head baseball coach Tony Skole.
The 2012 slate features 12 games against teams that earned a bid to the 2011 NCAA Regionals, 26 against teams with 30-plus wins and a full Atlantic Sun Conference schedule. In addition, 18 of the team's first 19 games will be played at home in the Buccaneers' new digs.
"I feel that we've put together another very challenging schedule, and I am excited about that," said Skole. "We have 26 games versus opponents who won over 30 games last season. The Atlantic Sun will once again be one of the top baseball conferences in the nation. Last season we had five programs that finished in the top 55 in the country. The A-Sun always offers up a very strong and rugged schedule and 2012 will be no different."
ETSU will open play on Friday, Feb. 17 with the christening its brand new on-campus stadium against Eastern Kentucky in a three-game tilt before hosting Tennessee Tech in a non-conference matchup on Wednesday, February 22. The Bucs continue the homestand with a three-game set against St. Josephs beginning on Friday, February 24. The very next week the Bucs will host Big Ten opponent Indiana for a three-game series. The Bucs and Hoosiers met back in 2002 for a three-game set in Johnson City in their only other all-time meeting.
"We are very excited to be opening up in our new stadium this year," added Skole. "It has been a long time coming. We have scheduled 34 homes games this season, with 18 of our first 19 at home. This will be a great way to break in our new facility. Everyone associated with our program and in our community couldn't be more excited to be in our new park. It is going to be amazing. Opening Day can't get here soon enough."
After a midweek matchup with longtime rival Western Carolina on Wednesday, March 7, ETSU will welcome Atlantic 10 member LaSalle to Johnson City, beginning Friday, March 9. Friday's contest will be the first game under the lights at the new stadium with game time set for 7:05 p.m. The Bucs will then host Furman in midweek tilt on Tuesday, March 13.
Atlantic Sun play opens on March 16 when the Bucs welcome in Belmont for a three-game series. The Bruins are coming off a 38-26 season and a NCAA Tournament appearance after winning the A-Sun Tournament. Other A-Sun home games on the docket are North Florida (Apr. 5-7), USC Upstate (Apr. 13-15), Mercer (Apr. 20-22) and Stetson (May 11-13). League road games include Florida Gulf Coast (Mar. 23-25), Lipscomb (Mar. 30-Apr. 1), Jacksonville (May 4-6) and Kennesaw State (May 17-19).
Other non-conference matchups include regional rivals, UNC Asheville (Mar. 18 and Apr. 10), Radford (Mar. 27 and Apr. 15) and Appalachian State (Apr. 3 and May 1) for home-and-home matchups. Appalachian State is ETSU's longest standing rival as the two teams have played each other 122 times throughout the years.
In addition, ETSU finds Tennessee back on the schedule after a two-year absence. The two teams have played each other 68 times in its history with the Bucs winning the last four games in the series. ETSU defeated UT twice in 2008 and twice in 2009. The Bucs and Vols will square off in Johnson City on Wednesday, April 11 at 7:05 p.m. and one week later in Knoxville at 7 p.m.
Another big highlight of the schedule is a trip out to Tucson, Ariz. for a three-game series against Arizona. The Wildcats, who earned a trip to the NCAA Tournament after finishing the season 39-21, will host the Bucs the weekend of April 27. This will be the first time the two teams have met in baseball.
The Bucs will close out non-conference play at SEC opponent Georgia on Tuesday, May 15 just before their conference trip to Kennesaw State. The Bulldogs finished 2011 with a 33-32 overall record. ETSU and Georgia have faced off 10 times in baseball all-time.
The annual Atlantic Sun Tournament is set for May 23-26 at Stetson's Melching Field at Conrad Park in DeLand, Fla. Following the A-Sun Tournament, Regionals will take place at 16 campus sites from June 1-4, followed by the best-of-three Super Regionals spread out among eight venues from June 8-11. Soon after, the eight survivors will advance to the 66th College World Series in Omaha, Neb., over June 16-27.
"The bottom line, though, is you have to get it done on the field – whether or not it's in your own backyard," said Skole. "Our goal every year is to play teams which will give us the best opportunity to compete in post-season play and advance in the NCAA Tournament. Both our Atlantic Sun Conference schedule and non-conference schedule certainly give us that opportunity. Our club will have to come ready to play every single night, and we plan on doing that."
ETSU returns 18 letterwinners from last year's squad that finished with a 36-21 overall record, including A-Sun All-Conference performer Derek Bushey (Richmond, Va.).
Also stepping onto the diamond for the Bucs are nine new faces, which consist of junior college transfers Mason Hershey (Altoona, Pa.) and Jake Long (Anderson, S.C.), as well as seven true freshmen: Zach Thompson (Johnson City, Tenn.), Will Carter (Johnson City, Tenn.), Chris Riopedre (Cooper City, Fla.), Kuehl McEachern (Mt. Dora, Fla.), Jordan Sanford (Powell, Tenn.), Jimmy Nesselt (Plantation, Fla.) and Shade Jett (Talbott, Tenn.).

COUPLED PRODUCTS: From the owners
COLUMBIA CITY — Excitement may center around Drew's and Johnson's new-found leadership of Coupled Products LLC, but with the purchase of the business, owners also inherited a picket line.Now into month 20, the amount of workers on strike has decreased from 29 to 21.Although strikers declare unfair labor practices, Drew said Coupled Products has an "excellent workforce in the plant" and "dedicated employees" who will support the company.However, from the picket line, workers are not so supportive."We are still confused by comments we hear from the union members on the picket line to shut down the plant," Drew said. "If the plant shuts down, everybody loses and the entire Columbia City community is affected because the jobs are lost forever. The employees' wages no longer would flow through the local economy. The trickle-down effect of the loss of the jobs would be devastating for the community. The community needs job growth and that is what we provide for nearly 100 workers."In fact, Coupled Products continues to bring more business to Columbia City. Drew said within the last five years, more equipment, business as well as jobs have moved from Ohio, Michigan and Mexico to Columbia City.For a more in-depth look at this story, see the Jan. 31 issue of The Post and Mail.

This is one of the best TV shows ever made. Never watched the original, but I doubt it is as good as this.
The story, simply put, is this: We create robots that destroy most of us and the rest should find a way to survive. Sounds like a cliche science fiction. But it is so much more than that. Just watch the miniseries, the one before season 1. if you didn't like what you saw, don't bother trying to watch season 1.
This show takes place in a place million light years from our planet. There are 12 colonies of humans living in 12 different planets. Cylons were created by humans to guard the 12 colonies and make life easier for humans. The Cylons, as any robot in any fiction, rebelled against the Humans. eventualy, the war ended and they both came to an agreement and the cylons went to some other planet to start their own life there. The Cylons later began building Humanoids, Cylons who looked like them. 12 models were created and they went on to live among the humans and to somehow infiltrate their military defenses to strike again. Which they succeeded. Some people manage to escape the nuclear holocaust and later join up with the Battlestar Galactica. This is where the show begins and it gets better as it this is not your typical science fiction. There are social issues between the fleet and the military that the show deals with in a very realistic way. It never gets boring.
Even with all this, it is not the best science-fiction ever made. Fiction? yes. Science-fiction? no. The whole story is based on God and his plan for humans. The writer solves many of the issues with "god did it" explanation. It gets annoying a lot of times, but, if you are anything like me, you should be able to ignore it and accept it as fiction. I am an atheist, yet I found this show to be brilliant (excluding the lame explanations of impossible events).
The character development, the acting, the writing, the amazing twists and the directing is as good or even better than you could possibly expect from a TV show. And Bear McCreary's beautiful soundtrack adds a whole lot more to a brilliant show.


text: Hi, my firstborn child is 9 weeks old. I have been EBF since he was born. The midwives, PHN and GP have all been extremely satisfied with his progress. He has gained approx half a pound per week since birth. He is feeding every 2-4 hrs during the day, and every 5-6 hrs during the night. Seems to be going good. However, throughout most of this time, he has also been extremely fussy. He seems to cry at a much more frantic level than what my mother, mother-in-law and partner think is considered "normal" for a baby - he literally kicks off, going from a smiling placid baby to a screaming inconsolable baby in a matter of seconds. I seem to be able to read his signals now, often he is crying due to wind, and will settle down after a burp or spitting up. Sometimes he is over-tired, and will give in when craddled and rocked to sleep with some music. Laying him on his back to change his nappy, holding him in different positions, switching on some background white-noise etc, can all distract him from his screaming for a few minutes at a time before it starts up again - he literally switches it on and off in 2 seconds - so I don't think that he is in pain when he is screaming. But my family members are all pressuring me to introduce formula to see if it resolves his frantic crying. I'm not keen to do so... I think that he is getting enough at each feed. I offer the breast more frequently as a last resort when he is crying like that, sometimes he refuses it (leading me to believe he has wind), and sometimes he'll take a short feed and put himself to sleep (leading me to believe he was over-tired). But from the response from family members, I am being made to feel selfish for continuing to EBF when there is some "underlying issue" that is upsetting him. BTW I've tried Infacol (which didn't work for him), and Gripe Water (which does actually help get up his wind with less of a struggle)... but still the crying, and now family members keep asking me to introduce formula as a test and see if that improves things. Of course, none of the medical personnel I've encountered will advise on introducing formula, they maintain that in this case, breastfeeding is going well as he is "thriving" - clearly gaining weight and sleeping for longer periods at night time. Please - any thoughts on what may be causing his frantic crying, and whether or not introducing formula for some of his feeds might actually improve things? From what I've read on the subject, I think that it may only make him sleep longer as he'll be fuller from the formula feed, and that it may even make any colicky/tummy pains he may be having worse. I'm finding it hard to believe that so many family members would pressure me into formula feeding a baby who seems to otherwise be doing well on breastmilk. They really are making me feel guilty for not trying it. As it is my first child, I don't know what level of crying is "normal" but he really does work himself into a state sometimes, and I just want what is best for him.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The government of Bahrain has fallen short of commitments to recognize labor rights and prevent employment discrimination under a free trade agreement with the United States, the Labor Department said Thursday.
But the agency declined to suspend the trade pact, despite a request from the AFL-CIO. Instead, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis urged more diplomatic talks with Bahrain to resolve complaints about the Persian Gulf nation's crackdown on unions and labor reform protesters.
"We are hopeful that through engagement with our trading partner we will find a solution that is good for workers both in the United States and Bahrain," Solis said in a statement.
Washington has been urging Bahrain's Sunni monarchy to talk with protesters and has publicly condemned the violence and mass arrests following a general strike in March 2011, which included journalists, activists and trade union leaders. But U.S. officials have stopped short of more direct action against Bahrain's rulers.
The 6-year-old trade agreement waives tariffs on industrial and consumer products for Bahrain, a key U.S. ally and home to the Navy's 5th Fleet. The pact is one of 17 such bilateral trade agreements with Washington, which also include Israel, Jordan, and Oman in the Middle East.
In a 50-page report, the Labor Department found that the Bahraini government "did not take steps to remedy shortcomings in its laws on freedom of association and employment discrimination." The report -- issued in response to the AFL-CIO complaint -- said Bahrain targeted trade unionists and others for firing and criminal prosecution for their role in the strike. It also found that Shia workers and political critics of the government faced discrimination.
In a statement, the Bahrain Embassy said its government would carefully review the Labor Department's report, but noted that many of the concerns have already been addressed by an independent government commission in Bahrain.
"As we stated previously in this matter, we do not believe that there is any violation of obligations under the labor chapter of the free trade agreement," the statement said.
The embassy said 98 percent of the 4,600 workers fired during the strike had been either reinstated, reemployed or otherwise had their cases resolved.
Dozens of people died after labor protests that began in February 2011 by Bahrain's Shiites, who represent 70 percent of the population but are excluded from top political and security posts.
AFL-CIO officials say they are disappointed that the Labor Department took 17 months to issue the report, saying Bahrain has continued to persecute workers and support witch hunts of union and human rights activists.
"The U.S. government now must demonstrate that the consultations comprise a serious effort to address Bahrain's blatant disregard for the trade agreement's labor chapter," said Cathy Feingold, international director of the AFL-CIO.
Feingold said more talks must be followed with "concrete and effective actions" to prevent further persecution of Bahraini workers.

Lipscomb's Lady Bisons were selected by both the coaches and media polls to finish as the regular season champion in the Atlantic Sun Conference.
Last season the Lady Bisons, picked eighth in the preseason polls, finished in a four-way tie for the regular season championship with Belmont, UCF and Georgia State.
Lipscomb received five of 11 first place votes in the coaches poll and four in the media poll where they shared top honors with Georgia State.
"It's an honor for the school and the program to be recognized as No. 1, but it doesn't do much as far as this season," said Lipscomb coach Frank Bennett. "We have to realize we have to go out and earn it again. Our approach is to just try to get in the tournament and play well when we get there."
The Lady Bisons won the Atlantic Sun Tournament last season, earning the conference's automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament. Bennett was named A-Sun Coach of the Year for his efforts.
"We have to put all of that behind us," Bennett said. "We enjoyed last season, and all of the things that happened. It was a great fairy tale experience."
The top eight teams go to the A-Sun Tournament which will be held again in Dothan, Ala. Most of the top players are back from last season. The coaches poll favored UCF as the conference tournament champion. The media poll selected Georgia State.
"It is going to be a great league," Bennett said. "Most teams have four starters back. It should be a much stronger league."
Courtney Boynton, from Beech High School in Hendersonville, was named to the preseason All-Conference team. Last season she was named to the All-Conference team.
"It's her senior year, and Courtney wants to enjoy it and get the most out of each day," Bennett said. "I think that is the way she should approach it."
Boynton who led the team in scoring last season with 14.5 points per game, is taking a team approach rather than worrying about individual honors.
"It's a good thing, but it's not about the individual stuff," Boynton said. "We have to make sure we are ready as a team. When you are No. 1 all you can do is prove yourself

Irish international Stephen Kelly was upbeat despite Ireland losing to Spain 2-0 to second half goals from Soldado and Mata last Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.
A crowd of 39,368 turned up to see the two teams in action, and the Reading defender thought the boys in black (for the night) did much to banish the memory of Ireland's humiliating Euro 2012 defeat to the same team 12 months earlier in Gdansk, Poland.
"There were a lot of positives. I thought we played very well at times. They had a lot of possession. Overall we defended well, we kept our shape and we moved on from last summer," Kelly told the Irish Voice after the game.
"The goals that we conceded were probably avoidable, maybe with a clearance we could have got in earlier. Overall I think it was a great workout and a good test. It was a hot evening out there, and the way they keep the ball makes it very tough. I think everybody put in a hell of a shift."
Spain broke the deadlock in the 69th minute when Arbeloa juggled the ball on the edge of box before it fell to Soldado, who volleyed into the left hand corner of the net. However, rather than fold, Ireland continued to look for their own openings.
"A couple of chances could have gone our way, and Casillas pulled off two great saves," added Kelly.
The first save came in the 80th minute when a great ball from Conor Sammon put James McClean through on goal, but his shot was turned over the bar by the Real Madrid goalkeeper.
The resulting corner saw a header from Kelly himself pushed on to the bar brilliantly by Casillas. The ensuing scramble resulted in Sean St. Ledger sliding in to score, but the goal was disallowed because Simon Cox was correctly ruled offside.
"I thought I had scored my first goal for Ireland, and I was wheeling off thinking this was it, but he palmed it on to the crossbar. It was disappointing in that sense, but if we had got a goal it would have been one-all, and we would have been back in the game," Kelly said.
"But it was a tough test. We were playing the world champions and they are going to be number one contender for the World Cup next year."
The gulf in class was again evident in the 88th minute when a wonderful series of Spanish passes saw Cazorla put Mata through, and the Chelsea man was able to slip the ball past Darren Randolph into the Irish net.
Kelly said that Irish manager Giovanni Trapattoni was also accentuating the positives from the Irish performance after the final whistle.
"He was just saying well done. It was disappointing not to come away with something, but well done and we worked hard and we showed we moved on from the summer. We were compact, and we restricted them to less chances."
The team now goes on summer break before reconvening for two make or break World Cup qualifying games in the fall, at home to Sweden on September 6 and away to Austria four days later.

A month ago we identified the development of a long term fan reversal pattern with the dollar/yen chart. The compression of activity between support near 78 and the value of downtrend line D increased the probability of a fast breakout and this has developed.
This week we update the notes of the progress of this breakout. The fan pattern is a long term trend reversal or breakout pattern. It's best seen on a weekly chart. The fan pattern with the dollar/yen started with the peak high at 110 yen in 2008 August. This high point is the anchor point for the four fan trend lines. It is a long term pattern.

Shining with a new kind of charisma. – Minho's real side.
Armed with his singing and dancing capabilities, SHINee had been rising in popularity. No matter how you look at them, Minho shines with his charisma and a fresh smile, we asked him a few questions regarding his first drama that he starred in.
SHINee's Minho has been praised as "one of the most good-looking Korean celebrities", in his first appearance in a Korean drama, he portrays a cold, genius hacker. However, he keeps his genuine and sincere smile, keeping the feeling of innocent romance. Be it his solo activities as an actor or group activities, this 20 year old is always in the spotlight as he work hard towards the future!
ELLE: The drama had many Kpop artistes acting in it, it was a hot topic!
Minho: I was very happy, especially Taemin who dressed up as an old man (laughs). I'm very different from my role though, I'm a little clumsy but it was fun playing a role that is different from how I usually am.
ELLE: What kind of role was Minhyuk in the drama?
Minho: In my opinion, Minhyuk swore to himself that he would find out who killed his father. Because of this kind of background, he treats everyone and everything rather coldly. Although he is still a teen, but he has hidden his real innocent self, his actions making him seem like he is protecting himself.
ELLE: It seems like a role where you are very popular with the girls.
Minho: It is, indeed, a role where he is very popular with the girls, with a few girls confessing a few times, but he is a rather shy character, this won't work in real life. Actually, in reality, I'm not the kind that is very proactive when it comes to love. I will silently watch over her before confessing properly. I feel kind of shy saying this (smile).
ELLE: What do the SHINee members feel about you acting in dramas?
Minho: The members have given me a lot of encouragement, and have also given a lot of their views. I feel as if they are like critics or judges. It can be a little difficult to say these things face to face, so most of them send me a message. Only Jonghyun directly says to me "It's very interesting!" Of course, this is probably because we're roommates and we meet very often, but that is Jonghyun's character!
ELLE: When carrying out solo activities, will you feel lonely?
Minho: I got used to it solely. But when I return for activities with my members, I'm really happy! This feeling is stronger after my solo activities, because in a group, we will make up for each others' shortcomings. But when carrying out solo activities, I will feel that I need to work even harder. But just the same, I'm able to fully bring out my individual charisma… That's what I feel. If I started off as a solo, I probably would not work as hard.
ELLE: What do you feel is your personal charisma that makes you so popular?
Minho: That's tough (laughs). 5 of us have our different specialties, working together to become one. That's SHINee. So if I were to pull myself away from the other members to talk about my personal charisma, it is really tough. I guess hearing "When he is alone, he shows a different side of himself." will make me very happy. It shows charisma and lets everyone see the inner 'gentleman' in me, that would be the best.
Holding the meaning of "bathing in the spotlight", Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Minho and Taemin form a 5 member group. Music, Dancing, Fashion all in one, this group leads in everything! Debuting in 2008 in Korea and 2011 in Japan, they hold an average age of 20 years old!
Minho has a knack for sports and in reality, his father is a coach for Korea's soccer team. Since he was young he has enjoyed soccer, and has even considered becoming a professional soccer player, " even now, I go play soccer with my friends regularly when I have time."
One Piece
Even among Kpop idols, there exists the popular Japanese comic, "One Piece". Minho is also an avid fan of this comic. If there were to be a movie adapted from this comic, what role would he want to play? After asking this question, he answered, "Of course Luffy!".
Called the "Pretty91Line", moving past the boundaries of their individual companies, the friends from 1991. Other than Minho, the 91 Line also consists of SHINee's Key, FTIsland's Jaejin, BEAST's Dongwoon, KARA's Nicole and Goo Hara as well as 2NE1's CL, making it a very popular line.

He who seeks wisdom,... uuuuh, He
I wish I could have a small camera with small lenses (or even without separate lenses?) with optimal quality. ...Any advice/experiences?Thanks!Mark
Hi allI wish I could have a small camera with small lenses(or even without separate lenses?) with optimal quality. ( I am probably not the only one)First thing that comes to mind is leica, but after long consideration I feel the price is too high for what I would get out of it.I kinda lost track of the latest developments in new camera's. (If you do not keep up for half a year your way behind it seems)Any advice/experiences?Thanks!Mark
I now have a canon body 30d, a 10-22mm wide angle , the 70-300 DO and the 24-70 mm 2:8 L lens.I use this kit mostly on vacation when I like to do trekking and camping in the mountains in a dusty, sometimes cold and/or wet environments, but I also visit cities.I use the full range of focal lenghts for landscapes , people and inside buildings like monasteries or local homes.So high ISO is also welcome.Output is for web and for A3+ prints on my epson r2400
So one more question: what is it that keeps you all from switching to this or a comparable system altogether and throwing out all the expensive and heavy stuff? Is it the IQ in the end?
I am sitting here at my desk looking at an outdoor portrait of my niece shot with that combo, then cropped vertically (so it's about half the original 12 megapixels) and printed to 16x20 inches on my Epson 3800. It's a lovely print and plenty sharp at her eyes. Did I mention that the Panny 20mm is terrific? This combo has been my everywhere camera for several years. Most happy with the Panny 20mm.Peter
except for the DO (which is pretty terrible at longer focal lengths) your lenses are as good as the best zooms available for mirrorless (there few really good mirrorless zooms - and they cost as much as ff zooms)

Gray, one of the quirkiest and most exuberant designers at LFW, made her debut on the Topshop New Gen catwalk

Trust Me was the title of Louise Gray's debut on the Topshop New Gen catwalk. And trust her we did, to provide some of the week's most playful, creative, colourful and exuberant clothes. Gray's signature is her joyful mishmash of colour, pattern and texture and this collection showed off all her talents magnificently. "Its how my mother taught me to dress," she said, "everything matches if you like it."
She was inspired by a long list of super strong, independently-minded women, including the artist Vali Myers, Gypsy Rose Lee, Gala Dali and Poly Styrene. There were also mixes of patterns taken from pottery and Navajo fabrics, naive embroideries using torn chiffon instead of embroidery thread, fine woven tweeds, made specially for her by traditional English mills (she makes all her collections in the UK ; her brilliant knitwear is made in Wales), sequin belts and layers of fabric cut in panels and left unfinished at the edges.
In pictures: Celebrities at London Fashion Week
Gray studied embroidery at Glasgow school of art before attending the MA Fashion degree at Central Saint Martins. Her graduate collection caught the eagle eye of Lulu Kennedy who invited her to show at part of Fashion East for spring/summer 2008. Kennedy still wears pieces from the MA collection and there were elements from that collection, as well as some of her more experimental textile and embroidery explorations evident in her collection for spring/summer 2012. Her tutor from Central Saint Martins, Louise Wilson, watched proudly and enthused about the collection after the show.
"This was my first big show through Topshop," said Gray after the show. "There was silk, screen printing, velvet devoré, foil. But I was trying to simplify it more. It's for a girl and a woman. It's more about a mentality." And trust her, Louise Gray knows just what she is doing.

Searching THL Literature Catalogs from the Outside
Each of the catalogs in the THL Literary Encyclopedia (http://www.thlib.org/encyclopedias/literary/) has its own search form from which one can search that particular catalog or the index of all texts. However, these search forms are within the catalog itself and rely heavily on Javascript and Ajax. So, it was not immediate possible to reverse engineer them into a GET call to perform a search from outside the catalog itself, either from another place within THL or from another site altogether. This issue has been address so it is now possible to call up a search on the catalogs. (Note: A true RESTful API where one can retrieve the data for a text in XML format through a URL still needs to be implemented and documented.)
The code that is now active on THL uses PHP to detect a param variable in the URL, creates a cookie of the query, and then redirects to the standard catalog URL. The JS in the catalog then detects the cookie and redirects to a subroutine that makes the search call and loads the results. For the record this involved changes to literary/canons/kt/catalog.php and literary/js/thl-catalog-controller.js. In its present inchoate state, the search param is called "q", and one can search for either Wylie or Tibetan. An example would be:
Note: Right now this is only available for the Kangyur-Tengyur catalog, but it will be implemented for other collections as well. The collection being searched is determined by the URL for the catalog.php page. The presently available collections are:
- Kangyur Tengyur: http://www.thlib.org/encyclopedias/literary/canons/kt/catalog.php
- Nyingma Gyubum: http://www.thlib.org/encyclopedias/literary/canons/ngb/catalog.php
- Dingo Khyentse's Collected Works: http://www.thlib.org/encyclopedias/literary/shechen/dkcw/catalog.php
The available parameters in the search call are:
|(any search string)
|The string to search for in the records
|Whether to search in digital texts or in the catalog bibliographic records
|Whether to search in all collections, the present collection being searched, or a specific edition
|(the sigla for the edition being searched)
|This is not yet implemented but would be "d" or "tb", etc.

When the World Cup pairings were announced in December, the date U.S. Coach Juergen Klinsmann circled most prominently on his calendar was June 26, the group-play final against Germany.
That's the country Klinsmann, the player, led to a World Cup title in 1990 and the one Klinsmann, the coach, led to a third-place finish in the 2006 World Cup. So playing against his homeland in his first World Cup as the American coach was something he both feared and embraced.
Now that the game is at hand, though, Klinsmann says he's feeling another emotion: joy.
"This is going to be so much fun," he said Tuesday. "I'm so excited."
Adding to that excitement is the fact the game Thursday afternoon in the port city of Recife will determine whether the U.S. advances to the second round.
The Americans had almost punched their ticket to the knockout stage before Portugal stole two points from them with a last-second goal Sunday, turning what looked to be a U.S. win into a draw. As a result, the U.S. needs either a win or a draw Thursday to be certain of advancing. The U.S. could also move on with a loss but under that complicated scenario, it would need a favorable result in the other group-play finale between Ghana and Portugal.
Despite the high stakes — or perhaps because of them — Klinsmann said Thursday's grudge match with Germany is shaping up as one of the highlights of an already accomplished career.
"It's very special, it's something that doesn't happen every year and probably not anymore in [my] lifetime, so you try to enjoy this moment," he said. "It's going to be emotional, there's no doubt about it. But I also will enjoy it."
Klinsmann didn't leave Germany under the best of circumstances. Although he was celebrated for guiding an overachieving national team to the semifinals of the 2006 World Cup, he declined to stay on as coach after the tournament, turning the team over to his hand-picked assistant, Joachim Loew.
Klinsmann's next coaching job was with Bayern Munich but in 2009, with his team three points off the lead in Germany's top-tier Bundesliga with five games to play, he was abruptly fired.
That's something he's still uncomfortable talking about, although in 2011 he began to move on by taking over the U.S. national team. Now that job has given Klinsmann a chance to fire back because with a win Thursday the U.S. would win the group, leaving Germany, if it advances, with a far more difficult route through the knockout rounds.
"The expectations in Germany are very simple; they've always got to win it. Otherwise they are disappointed," Klinsmann said. "That's just how it is. Third place or second place doesn't mean much to the fans and the people there. And they live with that; they get along with that, so they can embrace those expectations within the inner circle as well."
Klinsmann isn't the only one for whom the matchup with Germany offers a chance at redemption. Midfielder Jermaine Jones, 32, one of five German citizens on the U.S. roster, played 12 games for a succession of German national teams. But after he was cut from the German squad ahead of the 2008 European Championships, Jones, the son of an American serviceman, switched allegiances. And to cement that move, he recently had the American flag tattooed on his left leg.
"Of course, Germany is a special game," Jones said before the U.S. team's Tuesday afternoon flight to Recife. "I grew up in Germany. My mom is German. But [now] I try to win and try to bring America to the next round.
"It's not the point to beat a friend. It's the point to come to the next round. This is the important stuff. We want to show the people that we can beat them."
If the familiarity between the U.S. and German teams has bred a degree of contempt, though, it has also bred a great deal of comfort for the U.S. side. Many of the coaches and players Klinsmann worked with are still with the German team. And there are four players on the U.S. roster who play in the Bundesliga while Jones spent 15 years in the German club system.
"It definitely helps that a lot of our players know the players from the German team," Klinsmann said. "They'll be more familiar with them. … Hopefully it's an advantage."

There is still room for a few more New Jersey companies to join a February trade mission to Europe led by the European American Chamber of New Jersey.
And here's the catch, the only cost is airfare.
Camille Sailer, chamber president, said a half-dozen companies have signed up, but there is space for about four more to join those who already have come on board from such sectors as IT, law, environmental services, finance and real estate.
A grant to the chamber from the European Union delegation to the U.S. is covering participants' costs while they are in Europe, with the companies paying their own air fare to and from Europe.
The mission will be at the EU headquarters in Brussels Feb. 26-28, for meetings with EU officials and networking sessions with European business experts. There will be a side trip to Alicante, Spain, the seat of patent administration for the EU, which Sailer said is now implementing a uniform intellectual property patent system that encompasses all 28 EU nations.
Sailer feels the mission's sponsorship by the EU delegation is a huge plus.
"(That) is an amazing door opener," she said. "We get to talk to people at the commission in Brussels, which is the authority that sets as well as implements regulations."
The mission will set up meetings tailored to the companies who take part. For example, Sailer said, "if we get a chemical manufacturer, we will certainly meet with the director general of chemicals from the EU."
This is the chamber's second trade mission to Brussels; the first was in March 2012.
Sailer said an IT company that went last year has since "established operations in Brussels that allowed it to have sales in markets outside the U.S. for the first time."
An environmental company that went to Brussels last year is also now doing business in Europe.
Sailer said the EU seeks to build the transatlantic trade, which benefits both the U.S and Europe. She said U.S. companies typically begin by exporting to Europe, and may eventually begin manufacturing there.
"The purpose of a trade mission really is to make people aware and then also to cement new sales opportunities," she said.
Sailer said the EU is eager to meet with companies.
"(It) understands, as we do, that the transatlantic trade relationship is second to none," she said. "We both have markets of hundreds of millions of affluent consumers, and high tides lift all boats in terms of more sales, more R&D, and higher value added to sales chains. So it's a huge win win benefit for everybody who is connected in the transatlantic trade relationship."

The BEST Clam Chowder Ever!
This is the BEST clam chowder ever!!
Here's what you need:
1 quart of half and half
6 pieces of bacon, chopped into bite sized pieces
2 cans baby clams, undrained
1 medium purple onion, diced
2 pkgs salad shrimp (the really small ones)
2 cans corn, undrained (I love Green Giant's niblets, they have a little less liquid in the can)
1 cup of your favorite potatoes, cut into bite sized pieces
3 tablespoons of black pepper
1/4 teaspoon of celery salt
1/2 teaspoon of salt--maybe more depending on your taste
1 tablespoon of garlic powder (I personally like a little more) if you like fresh garlic, 6-8 cloves, diced
1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes--if you like it a little spicy, which is really good, you can add up to 2 tablespoons for a kick
You need an 8 quart soup pan to give you room. Start by setting the burner to Medium heat and frying the bacon. Once a little grease starts to build up, add your onions and potatoes. Once the potatoes are just shy of fork tender (soft, but not soft enough to stab through), add the clams (and their juice!!) and shrimp. Then add your seasonings--you might want to add larger amounts than I have listed... I don't usually measure them, so I'm trying to guess at amounts... just taste it and adjust to your personal taste. ***It is best to taste at the end and adjust the seasonings, otherwise it will seem really strong because you haven't added the milk yet*** Once that's all nice and bubbly hot, (you might want to turn the burner up to medium-high), add the corn. Stir once again, let it come to a boil, and then add the half and half. Allow to simmer for at least 15 minutes, 30 to make it really good. Make sure you keep stirring to keep it from scorching or sticking to the pan. This is where you will want to taste it and add accordingly...I personally love it when it's nice and peppery (black pepper, not red, the red is only to make it spicy). Garlic adds a nice twist to it as well, since it goes great with the clams and shrimp. Enjoy!!
If you have any questions, please email me. This is my all-time favorite recipe--I came up with it by looking at other clam chowder recipes and doing what I thought sounded best--yes it's an original! I personally can't stand the canned stuff, even the good brands, because there's never enough clams and way too many potatoes, and well, I hate celery unless it's with peanut butter, so I refuse to add it to my soup if you do like celery, be careful! It can be really strong in soups. I wouldn't add more than a couple of stalks thinly sliced, and make sure to opt out on the celery salt if you choose that path.

Fight the Cold: 5 Cute & Cozy DIY Hand Warmers
I've tried not to let weeks of freezing temperatures depress me, but waking up today to -4 degrees made me want to scream. While I walked my dog down icy sidewalks, I decided to make myself hand warmers, even if spring is allegedly arriving soon. I might just make some foot warmers too . . .
- FellowFellow's sweet, pocket-sized hand warmers are scented with essential oils.
- These clever rice packs fold up for your neck or turn into larger rectangles for your lower back or feet. From Sew 4 Home.
- The Purl Bee's felted hot water bottle cover is cozy and chic.
- Cheer yourself (or your kids) up with an adorable owl softie that can also be heated in the microwaves. From Wallflower Girl.
- It might look like a hot water bottle, but this warmed is a rice pack in stylish disguise. From Instructables.

what other insurance does a bread business need?
I am working on a plan and was wondering what other necessary insurance is needed other than the obvious food product liability insurance. In my case, I plan on leasing a comercial property and running a wholesale business (i.e selling at farmers markets and dropping off product at other businesses). I plan on being the solo operator, purchasing equipment using business credit, and working this business part time.
Thanks for the help!

I am so %*^#! pumped for this blizzard. Obviously I hope people stay safe and warm and don't get totally pummeled by power outages and such, but, I gotta be honest, I think this is awesome. Nick and I work from home so we don't have to commute, it's happening on a Friday night so no missed school, we didn't have amazing plans this weekend to be ruined, and, well, it's snow! Snow! Snow! Yay! We haven't had a proper snowstorm in these parts (north shore of Long Island) in a while. The kids have gotten sleds and snowman-making kits and all sorts of gear for Christmases the past few years and they haven't been able to use them. Until now! We are also excited because being snowed in means one thing to me and Nick: good food, good wine, roaring fires, quality family time. OK, that's more than one thing, but is there anything better?
Also: I'm not mad at the media for their full-tilt, end-of-days-are-here coverage like so many people in my Facebook feed seem to be. First, I think it's amazing entertainment (I could watch/chuckle at Jim Cantore doing his thing all day long), and, hopefully, people will listen and stay put. As we've learned recently, Mother Nature is for real and yeah, sure, maybe the media overdoes it and gets it wrong sometimes but the last time they said sh*t was going to be bad, sh*t was bad. Bad as in we didn't have power for two weeks and there was a gas shortage. As I've mentioned, Nick is a bit of a doomsday prepper (love him for it—he's super smart about this stuff and totally took care of biz during Sandy), so he's in his bring-it-on glory. He had a list of ways he wanted to improve our disaster preparedness after Sandy and he's checked them all off the list—just in time. Anyway, the wind is whipping around my house and I'm sure I'm about to lose power, and I just got a call that Alex's kindergarten is cancelled (ack, need to pick him up from enrichment!) so let me get going. Here, in no particular order, are the things we've done in the past few days to get ready for Nemo (ugh, worst storm name ever):
Buy bacon, buy wine (also: normal groceries), have electrician come to house to create plug on our electric panel to allow the generator to be plugged in and run the whole house should we lose power—amazing!), watch The Weather Channel around the clock (I needed a Bravo break anyway), scour cookbooks for the right kind of blizzard meal (we've settled on mushroom risotto for tonight; beef stew for tomorrow) download Finding Nemo onto the iPad (obviously), find the missing gloves, clean my messy house (so I don't have a panic attack when we're all stranded here together), charge camera battery, do some laundry, gas up the cars, gas up the generator, buy a cord of wood, get chocolate chip cookie fixings, pick up everything bagels and scallion cream cheese for blizzard breakfast in the morning (they won't taste as good as fresh ones but better than not having any bagels at all), take before pictures, get homemade hot cocoa fixings (way better than the packaged stuff), buy more wine just in case, pull carrots from our garden to use as snowman's nose (yes, we left a few in there), bring firewood into garage so it's not totally soaked, get salt and shovels ready, double-check that we have enough wine, take a hot shower, find the good ski hats, work out as much as possible (if I learned one thing from Sandy it's this: When the weather outside is frightful, salad just doesn't do the trick).
Ok, I think that about sums it up. Who knows how bad it will be in the end, but even half a foot is a lot more than we've seen in a while. And at least we know we're prepared…to have some fun! Hope you all stay safe. Anything on your Nemo list you want to share?

AgSynergy has introduced the new patent pending Genesis TRX applicators which use a single disk, high speed opener for precision placement of anhydrous ammonia.
This system ensures the least amount of soil disturbance and residue movement when placing nutrients in no-till environments.
Among impressive features is an innovative, aggressive sealing system that includes a set ofdurable 4 ¾" wide rubber track that holds residue stationary while the coulter cuts through into the soil. This holding effect minimizes residue and soil movement for a superior sealing of anhydrous ammonia in a wide range of field conditions.
A simple, efficient, easy to adjust, hydraulic down pressure system helps make this possible.
This, combined with a rugged, heavy-duty undercarriage with ¾" thick steel rails and components lubed for life for minimal maintenance, makes the Genesis TRX able to withstand hard field use.
The disk blade is heavy-duty 20" x ¼" thick steel followed by a placement knife with shatter-wing, both of which are adjustable to application depths of 4", 5" or 6".
The shatter-wing, with controlled sub-surface soil disturbance, is what enables its superior sealing performance.
The Genesis TRX is equipped with independent hydraulic cylinders that allow for excellent row unit travel. Each row unit has a total vertical range of motion of 16" and a road clearance of 8 ½".
Side-to-side oscillation is at 5 degrees and provides excellent trailing in contoured ground.
Dual placement of anhydrous ammonia with liquid fertilizer is currently available and dual placement with dry fertilizer will be available in the fall of 2012.
The Genesis TRX units are supported by the heavy-built AgSynergy Semi-Mount and Trailing model tool bars that are available in several models to better fit your operation.
The tool bars are modular in construction, allowing for expandability and are made of strong 7" x 7" x 3/8" steel construction.
The Semi-Mount 40A Side Dress bar model will weigh in at 19,286 lbs.
Additional weight packages are available up to 4,000 pounds
The transport width on all models is 15' 9", height is 13' 1 ¾" and wing-flex is 22°. The tool bar height is fixed at 31".
All units come with heavy-duty, puncture resistant tires and are equipped with an active hydraulic weight transfer system.
The Trailing models have floating hitches and trailing carts able to hold both liquid and dry skids.
Options include multiple row spacing and multiple carrying wheels.
For more information contact AgSynergy at 785-431-7948 or online at http://www.agsynergy.com.

The growing body gap:
80s supermodels like Cindy Crawford would not meet today's thin standards.
I could not embed the video.
Views: 217
I am very glad that L'Oreal in the UK has been charged with false advertising. It's not only even the 'real' females that can't keep up, even magasines and celebrities can't keep up.
In a media-frienzied world where we're constantly bombarded with near naked flesh, it is important that our media portray all formats of naked flesh, and it's also important that we portray our flesh to ourselves and our peers.
I remember being on the beach in San Diego one day and hearing a group of males sitting behind me bitching that a large sized like me (I vary from 13 to 18, depending on cut/style) should not wear a bikini. I growled back at them, stood up, faced them, then walked down to the water and had a swim.
We need to SPLATTER our fleshy selves all over the faces of morons who seek to impose their skinny view of the world upon all average people. Because if us average to large (and large is pretty average these days) people keep our flesh hidden from view, nobody will ever know that bones showing through skin is not the norm, not for humans, nor for animals in the wild.
I once read another interesting analysis of the reason for trends in the fashion industry: gay males. They rule the fashion industry, and their prevalence in the media industry in general in higher than in the rest of occupations. For Homo sapien males it's normal to be at 1/3 to 1/2 the fat percentages of females. This analysis proposed that one of the subconscious aims of male-gay dominated female fashion is to iconise females who look more like young males (instead of females)... no hips, no breasts, no fat. Models please gay male eyes, and that outlook dominates, and heterosexual males have simply adopted it, because it has become the media norm. And the few females that have succeeded in that biz have also emulated the biz.
I love the fashion shows on BET. I have learned so much about self body love from black women in the USA (while I lived there for 10 years). They have much less shame and puritanical instincts than white women.
I too find that there is much more acceptance and celebration of large-sized women in African-American culture. Maybe part of that is because blacks were not included in popular US culture for so long (advertising, TV, etc.). Exclusion kept away the brainwashing.
Ah yes, goes to show how cultural diversity is important, and that cultural barriers and some degree of insularity can create situations that are more desirable. It's related to why I'm very much against a lot of our cultural imperialism. There is something to learn from all cultures.
What you say is true.
I have a hilarious old picture, from "Esquire" magazine, I think, a photo of Marilyn Monroe with many notes about the ton of plastic surgery that would be advisable for her today (and weight training to firm up her upper arms, to be fair). It reminds me not to take the messages of advertising, modern TV, and current movies seriously. I find I need a lot of reminders.
Something else I find very helpful is the blog "Advanced Style," which shows over and over that beauty comes in all shapes and all ages, and that we each have the freedom to dress in ways that please us and look wonderful. It's downright inspirational.
Neither obese or "plus-sized" Amerikan women, who grow fat from feasting on the blood of third-world people and who live lifestyles that are destroying our planet, nor women who are anorexic or bulimic so that they can attract a higher bidder in a dominant culture that views women as commodities are "real women." Typical Amerikan women make up around 5% of the women in the world and consume roughly 25% of resources used by women. That's not real women, those are parasites you're seeing.
Regarding more acceptance of obesity in Afrcan-Amerikan culture, this is also true in modern Latin American culture and I suspect any peoples that have been economically oppressed. Being obese is a sign of financial security and becomes an "attractive" thing to those struggling for a secured survival in the sick capitalist world that we live in.

I run a lot of contests, I participate in a few, and I judge many. As I have been doing this for the last three or four years, I have noticed a few trends, and I would like to discuss it with people to get their general opinion.
As a contest runs, lately there has been a lot of "playing loose and fast" with the rules. What I mean by that is quite simply, the builds, the photos, or even the basic procedure for entering the contest are not following the clearly stated rules. And once an entry is determined to be in violation of the clearly stated rules, people get pushy and demanding that they either get to fix their entry, or that the person running the contest fix it for them.
So after that long explanation here are my questions:
1) If an entry does not follow the clearly stated rules, should it be disqualified?
2) If not disqualified, should the person running the contest have to "fix" so the entry is not dq-ed or even provide and opportunity for it to be "fixed"?
3) If you were competing in a contest, and one or more entries violated the rules and they were "fixed" so they could compete against your entry which did follow the rules, would you come back to build for that contest again?
4) What is "right" or "fair" for dealing with entries that violate the clearly stated rules?
I will add to the discussion eventually, because I want to participate in this one, its why I brought it up, but I will wait until others have chimed in a little (I don't want my opinions to sway any others).

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (December 11, 2005) - The Lady Bucs basketball team experienced only its second loss of the season on Sunday, falling to Western Kentucky, 86-56, in E.A. Diddle Arena. Senior Candace Gibson (Warner Robins, Ga.) tallied a season-best 15 rebounds, along with 10 points, but the effort was not enough lift to Lady Bucs to victory.
The Lady Bucs pulled within six early in the second half on a short jumper by Jenny Norman (Peachtree City, Ga.). The Lady Toppers answered with a three pointer by Cammie Campbell to bring the lead back to nine. Nichelle Akers (Sumter, S.C.) made it seven with a breakaway layup, but WKU heated up from there, extending the lead to 21 at 65-44 with just over 11 minutes remaining.
The Lady Toppers were deadly from behind the arc in the run, sinking four from long distance, including three from Campbell. Holly Moring (Irmo, S.C.) finally got the Lady Bucs back on the board, draining a pair of free throws with 11:10 remaining. Moring scored a team-high 11 in the loss.
Moring and Michele DeVault (Columbus, Ohio) would both drain a pair of free throws midway through the frame, but the Lady Bucs couldn't get anything going, as ETSU failed to net a field goal for over nine minutes. WKU led by as many as 30 late. Campbell netted a game-high 18 points, 13 of which came in the second half.
The Lady Toppers dominated early, surging to an 11-0 lead by the first media timeout. Lady Topper Sarah Strouse led the way during the run, tallying seven of WKU's first 11 points.
ETSU got on the board at the 15:40 mark, thanks to a 15-footer from Norman. Norman would sink another jumper, while Brooke Wilhoit (Sevierville, Tenn.) added a bucket and a three-point play, in an attempt to chip away at the Lady Topper lead, but WKU still carried the 21-11 advantage with 11:46 left in the period.
The Lady Toppers began to pull away late in the opening half, extending the margin to 36-19, and holding the Lady Bucs scoreless for over four minutes until Wilhoit broke the scoring draught with a bucket with 4:13 to go.
The Lady Bucs continued to charge scoring eight more points in the next two minutes, bringing to deficit to eight, behind a three from Moring at the 2:02 mark. But WKU didn't buckle, taking the lead back to 10 at 44-34 on a last-second jumper by Campbell.
Wilhoit led the Lady Bucs with eight first-point points, while Moring added seven. WKU's Porter-Talbert led all scorers with 10 going into the locker room. Gibson controlled the boards in the frame, tying a season-high with 11 first-half rebounds.
The Lady Bucs do not take to the court again until Dec. 21, as ETSU makes the short trip to Boone, N.C., to take on Appalachian State. The game is slated for a 5 p.m. start.
