Deadheading is removing a plant's flowers as they fade. This often encourages annuals, roses, and most perennials to set additional blooms. With azaleas and other spring-blooming shrubs, it won't promote more blooms, but it will make the plants look neater. The purpose of a flower (from the plant's perspective) is to attract pollinators that will help the plant create seeds. When a flower is successfully pollinated, it wilts, sending chemical signals to the rest of the plant to slow down blooming and put more energy into developing seeds.
Removing the flowers as they fade interrupts the chemical signals sent by the developing seeds, and the plant usually tries to bloom again. Most perennials benefit from deadheading as their flowers fade. Cut the whole flower stem near the base of the plant when it is finished blooming. The flower stem won't bloom again, but the plant may send up new flower stalks. Newer annual cultivars bloom longer than the old-fashioned ones, but all of them will bloom longer and look tidier if deadheaded. Pinch out or cut off the flower stems as the flowers begin to fade. It's not necessary to wait until all the blooms on the stalk are completely brown to do this.

CHATHAM, NJ – The Borough recently took delivery of a covered 35-yard recycling container from the Morris County MUA. Chatham Borough is one of three municipalities to receive such a container in Morris County.
This container, built in Waterbury, Conn., is designed to make it much easier for those using the Recycling Depot on Summit Avenue, to load their recyclables in one of the eight access doors located on each side of the container. These access doors are approximately 4 1/2 feet off the ground, making reaching the container much more manageable.
Mayor Bruce A. Harris noted that "Chatham Borough is the leading recycling community in Morris County with a recycling rate of 74.1% with the next closest community coming in at 60%" "We are very proud of how serious our residents take recycling".
"This forest green container, manufactured by East Coast Containers, will protect the contents from the elements and reduce the possibility of the load becoming contaminated by rain, snow, ice and non-recyclables being deposited inappropriately in the container" says Kathleen Hourihan of the Morris County MUA.
The Morris County MUA reminds residents to refer to the single stream recycling guidelines posted at the Chatham Borough Recycling Depot or refer to page 25 of the Borough's Calendar. All materials should be loaded loose except for shredded paper.

Rick Perry: Rand Paul is all wrong about Iraq
Rick Perry wants Americans to know two things about Iraq: The U.S. must intervene, and Rand Paul is all wrong.
In a strongly worded op-ed published late Friday in The Washington Post, the Texas governor and 2012 GOP presidential contender blasted the junior Republican senator from Kentucky for his "isolationist policies," saying that the U.S. must do "more with our military and intelligence communities" to help bring down the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The Sunni extremist group has been responsible for seizing large portions of the Middle Eastern country and killing over 1,000 – mostly civilian – people since June.Perry, in his second op-ed of the week (he has also written two letters to President Obama in recent days), qualifies himself to weigh in on matters of national security on the basis of his veteran status and history of "Texas National Guard deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan." He goes on to blame Obama for Iraq's current state of turmoil – "The lousy choices we face today are the price of failed leadership" – and says the U.S. should provide "meaningful assistance" to Iraq, which "can include intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance sharing and airstrikes."
Obama, meanwhile, has pledged not to send troops into combat in Iraq, but there are several hundred troops stationed in the country to assist with security operations.
Of course, Perry's op-ed isn't just about Iraq; it's also about Rand Paul, who is seen as a top contender for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination – a position Perry may want for himself.
Perry points the finger at Paul for "ignoring the profound threat" posed by ISIS, and "inaction."
Perhaps Perry's greatest grievance with Paul, however, is Paul's invocation of former President Ronald Reagan to justify a lack of military intervention in Iraq. Perry calls Paul's analysis "wrong," saying the senator "conveniently omitted Reagan's long internationalist record of leading the world with moral and strategic clarity."
Earlier this week, Perry, the longest serving governor in Texas history, made headlines for comparing Obama's failure to visit the undocumented immigrant families on the U.S.-Mexico border to former President George W. Bush's failure to visit New Orleans after it was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
More than 52,000 unaccompanied minors have fled violence in their Central American home-countries since October, often walking alone across the U.S.-Mexico border, acting on false rumors that children who enter the country will be allowed to stay.
Perry and Obama met one-on-one, behind closed doors Wednesday for 15 minutes aboard Air Force One in Texas, for a conversation the president later described as "constructive."

Moments | Hello Cold!
Shoes by Vivo Barefoot.
We are back to cold days again. The heater is back on and the weather has been wet. I have no idea where the nice Spring went and at the moment my only hope is that the warm weather return as quickly as it disappeared! The kids are back in school and kinder and this week has felt rather tumultuous since it is was a quick awakening from our lazy nice school break holiday.
Mini & Maximus did a nice little interview with M about her collab with them back in the beginning of the year and that is up on their blog now. Their shop is filled with some amazing items from this seasons collection Animal Collective right now so be sure to check it out.
Hope you all have a nice weekend, and enjoy your Friday out there!

Heidelberg Hosts Commercial Printing Event, Awards Scholarship
Monday, December 18, 2006
Press release from the issuing companyKENNESAW, Ga., December 18, 2006 - Heidelberg recently hosted a customer event at its U.S. headquarters in Kennesaw, Ga. on the topic of long perfecting versus peak performance straight printing. Attended by more than 50 high performance printers from across the country, the event focused on helping printers determine which production process, and ultimately which equipment configuration, is best for their business. As a surprise announcement during the event, Heidelberg conducted a drawing and awarded the winner with a scholarship endowment in his name through The Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation (PGSF). "We were pleased to host an esteemed group of printers at our Print Media Demonstration Center (PMDC) in Kennesaw to talk about this important industry topic and help them gain the information they need to make future business decisions," said Jim Dunn, president, Heidelberg USA. "The scholarship endowment announced during the event is part of our long-term commitment to graphic arts education initiatives and to the print industry as a whole." The scholarship award included a one-time $5,000 donation in the name of the winner, Mr. Norvin Hagan, president and CEO of Geographics in Atlanta, to the PGSF to be awarded to a graphic arts school of Mr. Hagan's choice. The donation will be added to a larger fund administered by PGSF, the annual earnings from which will be available year after year for qualifying students of the selected school. The "Straight Printing vs. Long Perfecting" event began with an in-depth look at Heidelberg's Prinect integrated workflow and color management solutions and a virtual demonstration of a job passing through the Prinect workflow. Printers then "followed" the job to the pressroom for a series of live runs of the same job produced on two different presses: on the Speedmaster SM 102 10-color perfecting press in a single pass and on the ultra productive Speedmaster XL 105 straight printing press in a 6-color, coater configuration in two passes. In addition, the covers were printed on the Speedmaster CD 74 8-color perfecting press with coating unit. Once the jobs were printed, guests watched as the final products were finished on the Stitchmaster ST 350 saddlestitcher. Visitors were also given an exclusive walking tour of Heidelberg's systemservice training and dispatch areas, where they saw regional service teams in action. The day ended with a press productivity analysis and discussions about the results of the production comparison. "When comparing perfecting versus straight printing for commercial jobs and signature work, the conclusion lies primarily in the run lengths and the specific business model and positioning of the printer in his market," said Roland Krapp, vice president of Sheetfed Product Management, Heidelberg USA. "For example, it makes a difference if a printer's goal is cost leadership or best-in-class delivery times." Krapp noted that "Though jobs have to pass twice on the XL 105, it is surprising to see how much the press' fastest makeready times and highest production speeds contribute to lower cost to print, from very short runs all the way up to run lengths of 40,000 copies or beyond. The SM 102 only breaks even in cost to print at higher run lengths, but for all different jobs, it provides by far the shortest job throughput times, especially when considering that work is made available sooner for the bindery. Our live production comparison clearly confirmed user statements that both presses complement each other and that shops with high production volumes can't afford to miss one or the other." Heidelberg's Speedmaster XL 105 straight printing press is designed to deliver maximum productivity through the fastest makereadies and real production speeds of up to 18,000 sheets per hour. The Speedmaster SM 102 is the world's leading perfecting press and sets the standard for One Pass Productivity. The SM 102 offers printers the fastest job turn-around time. The highly automated Speedmaster CD 74 three-quarter format press allows for a cost-effective 6-page up production on a very broad range of substrates from ?imsy papers to stiff board and plastic sheets. The recent Kennesaw event was a follow-up to a Technology Luncheon that Heidelberg hosted at Graph Expo 2006 in Chicago. At the Chicago luncheon, a panel of industry-leading printers spoke about the impact that long perfecting and high-speed straight printing presses have on their shops. Luncheon attendees were then invited to the PMDC in Kennesaw to see the presses perform live. Immediately following the Kennesaw event, Heidelberg hosted its annual Brats & Dots event, a regional open house also held in the PMDC, which was attended by more than 200 customers from the Southeast.

but i can' t help it.
although i am more than happy at the thought of a woman for president (wow, i remember how ecstatic i was when ms. albright became SoS) and i do truly like my senator (voted for her twice), i am just not 100% thrilled about her. yes, i know posturing is par for the course in politics. and of course, mr. gore seems like a saint now because of the very fact he doesn't have to posture anymore. but i just can't get over the feeling that mrs. clinton gives me. i am not inspired by her (lack of) passion and conviction. however, i am impressed by her intelligence, hard work, due diligence, unflappability, and keen ability to maneuver through anything.
but honestly, in the end, does passion and conviction make a president? i mean, who am i kidding? mr. bush has passion about certain things ... and well, look at where we're at now.
mrs. clinton will obviously win my state primary, so a write-in for mr. gore won't make me feel naderized guilt. and until it is for certain that mr. gore is going to ride off into the nobel prize sunset, i will keep on dreaming ...
you can call me a dreamer
but i can' t help it.
vegetable risotto
i love risotto. it's quick and easy to make, and so versatile. whatever vegetables i'm fancying go into the pot. in the summer, it's often zucchinis. a mushroom risotto is nice and earthy on a cold fall day. the classic, for me, is a risotto with leeks, carrots, and peas. it's even better if you have some homemade vegetable stock, which i love making in the colder months. for tonight, we did the classic risotto and a side of steamed asparagus with lemon spritz. we had some leftover french baguette from last night's dinner, so we toasted that up with oil, garlic, and hot pepper.
classic vegetable risotto: serving size for 4 as main dish (or 2 with lots of leftovers)
1 cup risotto arborio rice
4 carrots, diced (un-peeled if organic)
1 small onion, diced
1 bunch leeks, quartered and sliced (white parts and little bit of green)
4 cloves garlic, sliced
3/4 cup frozen peas
4-5 thyme sprigs
olive oil + butter
salt + pepper
hot pepper flakes
parmesan cheese
6 cups vegetable stock (use homemade - trust me, it tastes so much better!)
2. soak sliced leeks in bowl of cold water. this allows the dirt/sand to fall out. while soaking, prep carrots, onions, and garlic. heat oil and butter in large cast iron pot. add garlic and hot pepper flakes, and cook until toasted. add carrots, onions, and leeks (pulling them out of the water, not through a strainer/drainer) and salt and pepper and sautee for 5 minutes until tender.
3. add risotto arborio rice and toast lightly for about 3 minutes. add thyme sprigs and then ladle two scoops of stock to risotto. the art of risotto is all in the stirring. too much or too strongly, and it gets gummy. too little and it will not cook properly. typically what i do is ladle in two scoops, let it simmer for about 30 seconds to a minute and then gently stir with a wooden spoon (more like folding) for the next couple of minutes until most of the stock is cooked into the rice. then add more stock and repeat until you've used all of it. occasionally i have had to use a little more than 6 cups, but that amount is pretty standard.
4. cook risotto until it is al dente but creamy. some people like it more soupy, but i like it with most of the stock soaked up. taste and salt and pepper again if necessary. the thyme will have fallen off during the cooking and stirring, and you can take out the stems.
5. turn the heat off, add peas and a good amount of grated parmesan cheese, and gently stir in. cover and let sit for 10 minutes.
6. serve with crusty bread and another side of crispy vegetables if you like (asparagus, salad, etc). you can add a little more grated cheese as garnish on top of each portion serving. the best thing about risotto is all the generous leftovers it makes - yumm!!
so i am totally inspired for some menu planning!! i don't want this whole blog to be about my so called life travails :)
i was always thinking about being more consistent with eating at home. here in the city it is much too easy to go out for dinner. i already eat every lunch out. so sometimes a week would go by with, literally, only two or three home-cooked meals. not only is that expensive, but it also gets boring ... and let's not forget, it's enemy #1 for the big butt i'm growing!
first i was inspired by $40 a week, which seems like a crazy small amount to spend on food. that's about two take-out dinners. maybe three home-cooked dinners. but maybe with some good meal planning this could possibly work???
then i googled around and found this veggie planning website. some of the recipes sound really good but i like the website more for its ideas about meal planning.
so now i'm on a mission.
i'll plan my breakfasts and lunches, and although they will probably remain store-bought, i'm going to try to be more conscious and informed about my decisions. i'll plan my dinners for 6 nights a week. wow! that's a lot! okay, let's make it 5 dinners a week. i don't want to make my goal so lofty i can't reach it. baby steps!
here is what i have so far ...
tonight: lobster ravioli with some sort of sauce / sauteed mustard greens on side
tomorrow night: leek and carrot risotto / steamed asparagus with lemon
friday night: dinner out
well ... it doesn't look impressive but it's a start!
why am i the most confidently insecure person ever? why am i so confident about my skills, strengths, and passions. but so ridonkously insecure about personal relationships? why am i always doubting? i wish, for once, i could just let go and enjoy the people that are in my life.
will it happen??
i confess, it is true. i (somewhat) believe in astrology and horoscopes. i truly fit my virgoan stereotype to a T. and sometimes the monthly/daily predictions are right. but i don't go all nancy reagan on making decisions. it's just interesting.
but the problem with reading my horoscope is that i get all expectant. like ooh, it says i will have a romantic night next week, can't wait! oooh, it says i might get into a fight with family, watch out!
so susan miller says:
Your career is about to bring excellent news. At the full moon November 24, due over the American holiday weekend of Thanksgiving, you will have a full moon that will put your name in lights.Or, you may hear news on Monday, November 26, a time when Venus and Neptune will be so congenial - artistic expressions should bring profit. My bet is that you will hear fabulous career news on Monday, November 26. See what happens!and here it is, november 26 and nothing has happened yet.
but i am still hoping!
monday rants
so what else are mondays good for besides some old fashioned rants? i've got two!
1. why the heck can't firefox work nicely on my mac? it's either crashing with the spinning beach ball of death. or it's freezing, and none of the links or bookmarks work. click, nothing! i really much prefer it to safari, but i'm left with no choice more often than not. and why oh why does firefox not allow page setup configration in mac?? ugh! it's the simple things in computer life that make my happy world go 'round.
2. on a more serious note, why is A such a bitch? she has the nerve (the weakness?) to yell at us and say we lied about a death in the family so that we wouldn't have to go see her. yes, let me write that again ... she called us assholes and said we lied about a death in the family. what the frick? is she that unbelievably cold, selfish, and mean? i could take the high road and say whatever. but not when it involves my family. i let her have it! and i hope she suffers. cuz she deserves it!
dear diary
am i reverting to a pre-teen version of myself on the web? i always thought blogging was self-indulgence in html form. but i am absolutely enamored with my shiny new imac, and find myself on this beautiful machine more and more.

Opera 9 Beta
I see the that Opera 9 is out in beta. According to the Opera 9 press release, it's got some neat new features — among them, the ability to "customize your search engines" which, I hope, means the ability to add search engines to Opera's search box easily. Right now, that's quite a little feat for people not used to modifying desktop applications.
Another feature that I wish they'd implement: the ability to create folders in the RSS feeds tab. It would be nice for organizing feeds. But, dig this:
Thumbnail preview â€" It's easy to have many tabs open at once in Opera. But exactly which tab had that video you wanted? Hover any tab to see a thumbnail preview.
I'd say that's pretty fancy.
Unfortunately, I'm not trying the Opera 9 beta today; as usual, it's a working weekend, and that means I'm supposed to be working. <grin>
4 Comments to "Opera 9 Beta"
I gave it a bit of a test drive over the weekend. It seems pretty stable from my use of it, the tab thumbnails are mildly cool, can't say I find them exciting, the same with the widgets. Seems most widgets are games so far, the calendar looks quite nice though, better than the current sidebar calendar I have for Opera.
The bit torrent support works quite well. I set it downloading an ISO of ubuntu and it handled it pretty well. Didn't use all my bandwidth/connection so I could still surf.
Everytime you start it, it checks the files you're downloading though, and checking a 2.9GB file means it can take a few minutes before it actually starts downloading it. But it works nicely enough.
Thanks for the information, Adrian. I must confess that I hadn't looked into Bit Torrent — hadn't seen the need (and I've never used a file-sharing app) — but 2.9 gigs is a pretty large download even on broadband.
So, it sounds like you can start downloading and close it without its stopping the download?
Have you tried the new Opera 9 beta 2 yet?
No, I haven't. Have you, and if so, what do you think of it?
Have your say ...

Macmillan Children's Publishing Group Encourages Kids, Teens, & Adults To 'Be A Buddy, Not A Bully
Yesterday, the Karen Klein Anti-Bullying foundation officially joined forces with Macmillan's Children's Publishing Group to introduce a national anti-bullying awareness educational program called 'Be A Buddy, Not A Bully' to help provide bullying prevention education in schools, at home, and throughout our communities.
As part of the launch, we had the honor of working with Keia Clarke, Manager of Promotions & Fan Development for the NY Liberty to introduce our educational program book display during their annual anti-bullying rally 'School Day' event being held at the Prudential Center. The basketball game (NY Liberty vs. Indiana Fever) brought together 5,000+ students from Newark, NJ to take part in a half-time cyberbullying discussion with Miss New York 2011 Kaitlin Monte.
The event also featured a "free" educational content giveaway with former Ford Escape Routes reality TV stars/models & college division 1 basketball players Chekesha Johnson & Tiffany Jackson, 15 year old Universal recording artist & Teen Spokesperson for the Foundation Breje; MCPG award-winning authors Matt Davies & Nick Bruel; seasoned songwriter & children storybook-music artist Ron Surrey; and our own bullied bus monitor Karen Klein.
With the support of our network of authors, illustrators, music artists, celebrities, athletes, city officials, community leaders, and corporate sponsors, we were able to film the last chapter of the 'Bullying Behavior In America' documentary project.
Thank you Karen, Amanda, Elizabeth, Ellen, Audrey, Robby, Mariel, Kelly, Molly, Jaime, Liz S., Marie, Kelsey, Nick, Matt, Ron, Tiffany, Chekesha, Breje, Seema, Donovan, Alexandria, Matti, Patrick, Fabio, Cameron, Mallie, Charles, Keia, Hasim, and the entire WNBA NY Liberty 'School Day' event team for helping us make a difference in the world...One child at a time! :-)
Meet Illustrator Nick Bruel, author and illustrator of, among other books, BAD KITTY, POOR PUPPY, BAD KITTY GETS A BATH, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BAD KITTY, BAD KITTY VS. UNCLE MURRAY, and now BAD KITTY SCHOOL DAZE.
The reason we chose Bad Kitty School Daze to be the perfect tie-in to an anti-bullying message for kids is because Bad Kitty and Puppy had to go to obedience school for fighting.
Thank you Nick for sharing your story and allowing us to take your latest book from the shelves to the classrooms.
Meet Cartoonist Matt Davies, Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist for Tribune Media Services and The Hearst Newspaper Group in Connecticut.
Ben Rides On is the first ever children's picture book from our award-winning cartoonist and bullying prevention advocate Matt Davies.
Thank you Matt for helping us to inspire young readers and listeners a like to rally behind a worthy book.

The father of a Jordanian captured by Islamic State militants in Syria is pleading with the rebel group for the fighter pilot's safe return.
The father appealed to the religious extremists to treat First Lieutenant Muath al-Kasaesbeh as a "guest," not a hostage, telling them "we are all Muslims."
"I send a message to our generous brothers of the Islamic State in Syria: (I ask them) to host my son, pilot Muath, with generous hospitality, and they (referring to the Islamic State) are generous, and (I ask them) not to be ungenerous toward my son," said Safi al-Kasaesbeh, father of captured pilot. "I ask God to fill their hearts with love, and (I ask for him) to be returned to his family, wife and mother."
Jordan confirmed Wednesday that the pilot was being held. The F-16 fighter jet he was flying as part of the U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State group went down near the rebel stronghold of Raqqa, in northern Syria.
The U.S. military acknowledged that the plane crashed, but it denied a claim by Islamic State militants that they shot it down.
Jordan is one of several countries in the region participating in the air campaign against the group.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Abadi and Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Thursday announced an agreement between the two countries to expand cooperation in fighting the Islamic State group.
In the last year, the extremist militants overran large areas of northern and western Iraq and launched an offensive in Syria along the Turkish border.
Abadi said Turkey and Iraq would collaborate on military, intelligence, weapons and training.
"Neither the Iraqi government nor the entire international community is in a position to defend themselves against Islamic State," Abadi said. "This is a terrorist organization; they have an international network. Therefore, we need international support to fight them, and we've asked for it. We've made a request within the international framework to receive military training in operating weapons used in airstrikes."
The countries both have vocal Kurdish minorities. Despite long-standing movements for independence, they have become a central force in countering the Islamic state with their militias.
Davutoglu indicated Turkey had helped train Kurdish peshmerga fighters in Iraq and would continue supporting the country against the militant group.
"We are open to any suggestions to support the Iraqi government, and we will weigh any suggestion," Davutoglu said. "Talks are underway with Iraqi security officials to expand our support in the fields of training and supply, as well as helping further cooperation in other fields. We are ready for all kinds of help."

AUGUSTA, Ga. — The Hagerstown Suns were nothing if not helpful on Monday in a 7-1 South Atlantic League loss to Augusta.
The Suns (12-11) committed four errors — leading to four unearned runs — and allowed one run on a wild pitch as the GreenJackets won the series and sent Hagerstown home from a seven-game roadtrip with a 4-3 record.
Suns starter Taylor Hill (3-1) allowed the only three runs in his four innings of work as Augusta (11-12) scored in the first, second and fourth innings for the 3-0 lead.
The GreenJackets led 4-0 before the Suns scored their only run in the sixth inning.
Matt Skole lofted a single to center against Augusta reliever Adalberto Mejia to score Cutter Dykstra to cut the deficit to 4-1.
Mejia came on in relief of Paul Davis (2-0), who was making his first start of the year. Davis pitched five scoreless innings with six strikeouts.
One bright spot for the Suns was the three innings of work by reliever Nathan Karns, who recorded eight of his nine outs by strikeout.
Augusta scored three unearned runs off Todd Simko in the eighth to seal the victory.
The GreenJackets were led by Kelby Tomlinson with two hits and two RBIs while Joe Staley had two hits and scored three times.

The stamps were coloured using the markers, stamped on Whisper White and then coloured using the Versamarker. I was then able to heat emboss with the Scented Emboss Powder. The scent will last up to 2 weeks.
The watermelon stamp also fits nicely into the 2-1/2" Circle punch and the Scallop Punch makes it look like someone has taken a bit.

Good morning.
Today's project is carrying on from my previous post to try and use up my paper pads. For this journal I used Prima Bella Rouge and DCWV Coral Couture collections. The journal cover is made from a hard backed book and measures 9.3/4 x 6.1/2 inches, a 2 inch spine and 3 signatures.
I have also used tea dyed papers, an assortment of other types of paper, oddments of ribbon, lace and other embellishments I have in my stash.
There is plenty of room in the journal for writing, adding photos and storing precious keepsakes.
I hope you like my journal.
Thanks for stopping by.

Dalia Lama Tactical Tip Tuesday
His Holiness considers life in its entirety, in the physical as well as the mental, emotional, and spiritual. In this tip, he brings all those aspects together.
During a defensive gun use, or drill, there comes a point at which the shooter begins to fear he is running out of ammo and knows he must reload quickly. Above all, he knows he must avoid fumbling with or even dropping the fresh magazine. This is a moment that could induce panic.
At that point, HH gives some plain common sense advice: rely on the tactile feel of the reload in your hand to guide your actions, and your physical senses will complement your mental and spiritual efforts and give you reassurance and a sense of calm.

Thanks very much for your kind comment. I guess they're silly, but I am struck by what a good choice the Dalia Lama was for those popular (in some circles) gun memes. His whole worldview is very conducive to shooting advice, oddly enough. I'll wrap it up in another month or so, but I'm glad to hear that somebody other than myself is amused by these tips.

A Kimber, akimbo? I can work with that similarity.
Coincidentally, I was in a gun store this week and was shocked all over again at the prices on the - very large - display of Kimbers. Not my thing, but hey, obviously there is a market for them.

TSB: Is there any difference between a WWII Navy 45cal pistol and the ones for other services? I remember looking at my dad's when I was just a little kid and thinking 'these bullets are really big around' and 'why is this thing so heavy?' gwb

GWB: There wouldn't be any difference in pistol specs between the services, so long as it was an M1911A1. But, during WWII there were many different manufacturers making .45s, including odd ones like Remington Rand, the typewriter company, and the Union Switch and Signal railroad, so there might be some cosmetic differences. Also, the services bought many .45 revolvers before there were sufficient numbers of pistols, and your Dad might have had one of those. Google "S&W 1917 .45 revolver" and see if that looks familiar.

"The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder." –GK Chesterton
Never have I understood these words more than while walking the ancient pilgrimage called El Camino. It will be different for each peregrino, but my two weeks along The Way quickly became a steady parade of reminders for "how rare and beautiful it is to even exist" (song). As always, the peace comes just in time.
During my college years, I'd fallen in love with learning more than ever before. I became swept up in gathering information and hypothesizing about the world we live in, but from time to time, there was also an inner voice bidding me to be silent… to just take everything in. Through the hustle-bustle of costs, benefits, projects, and papers, I had willingly brushed aside my childlike capability for wonder. After four semesters too long, I finally rediscovered my balance– a sort of necessary rhythm emerging between fervent knowledge acquirement and quiet awe. Luckily, this is also exactly the kind of thing that a walking pilgrimage engrains within you. 🙂
To commemorate the end of that life-chapter, I've decided to write-up the happenings of a typical day on El Camino. The narrative is simple– walk, talk, eat, sleep– and the fluidity of the days made them nearly as a dream (save the very real blisters and ever-pressing laundry needs). Buen camino!
5:53 am: Waking up seven minutes before my alarm (courtesy of my heavy Polish bunk-neighbor thumping to the ground), I gather that half the room has already emptied out. The older couples like to hit the trail before the day heats up. I emerge from my cocoon sleep-sack, since it's usually smart to follow the older and wiser. 😉
6:00 am: The rest of our group begins to awake, and we greet each other with a sleepy nod and smile while stumbling to brush our teeth in the dorm-style bathroom. Wow, my nose and shoulders got some serious sun yesterday… those pack straps are going to feel grrrrreat!
6:30 am: On our way, at last! The air is magnificently fresh in the morning, and our group decides to stop at the next town over (someone said its "only 4km away") for the usual chocolate croissants and cafe con leche. The sleep-soreness is worked out of my body as I hit my stepping rhythm.
8:00 am: We step onto those narrow cobble-stone streets, just as the special Camino cafes begin to open– since the usual opening time for any business in Spain is actually around 10am… (what a life!). It is very common to find that the cafe and hostal owners were once Camino peregrinos themselves, who have decided to stay. This establishment is no exception, and while I wait in line for my espresso, I gaze at their grainy old Camino photos on the walls.
11:30 am: Since we've fallen behind a km or so, Favorite Pilgrim and I decide to rest for a hot minute, snacking on almonds and taking in the poppy-speckled wheat fields that cloak the sun-soaked hillsides. Turns out, nature's fruitful offering is more effective at healing aching bodies than Advil 🙂
1:30 pm: We've arrived into our final town for the day! This hostal looks divine– a neat, clean little gift from God. We bring out our pilgrim passports to be stamped while eagerly looking at the peaceful wading pool and hammocks that grace our newest residence.
2:00 pm: The cool showers can wait just a little while longer while we trade our boots for a pair of breathable flip-flops and stumble into the neighboring cafe for lunch sandwiches. It feels so good to sit around, eating and drinking and sharing stories from the other peregrinos we met today along the way. (It has been said that the Camino is the world's largest walking group therapy…haha).
4:00 pm: Laundry hooray! These words will come back to bite me one day, but I actually have a real love of doing laundry… it's sooo soothing.
5:00 pm: Interspersed exploration, chatting with other peregrinos (the "so why are you walking the Camino" conversation starter is a tried and true favorite) and card games until…
7:00 pm: Mass time! We pilgrims join the local daily-Mass-goers for the sacred celebration, which always concludes with a special pilgrim blessing. This time, the twinkly-eyed priest demanded that each nationality sings a hymn in their native tongue. Forced performance is good for humility, and I'll never forget the Italian couple whose (clearly) polished performance put us all to shame 😉
8:00 pm: Dinner (at last). Bring forth the three courses of salad, seafood, ice cream and unlimited vino! I take a moment to admire the bubbling, cross-border camaraderie. People can be so good.
10:00 pm: Fortunately, the hostal curfew doesn't mean the merriment has to end. Here's to the nights of bunk-jumping, story-sharing, and giggling ourselves to sleep! Before submitting to the exhaustion, I lift up my heart to the One who gave me feet, food, friends, and the beautiful Christian faith… and I pray for the chance to do it all again tomorrow 🙂
If there is anything I'm taking with me from the pilgrimage, and if there is any reason that you should consider El Camino, it is this:
"If you become Christ's you will stumble upon wonder upon wonder, and every one of them true." — St. Brendan of Birr

|A random Kyushu sunset, taken from the bus!
November was a fantastic month! We moved around constantly for 3 1/2 weeks, but it all went by in a flash. I got to practice LOTS of Japanese with people in Kyushu, too! It's so much easier to improve your language skills in a place where you don't really have any other options (there were virtually no western tourists outside Nagasaki, and even there, very few).
Make no mistake, it was an exhausting month and we are both happy to hibernate a bit and focus on work for the next two months.
Hong Kong
This time, we stayed at a serviced apartment near Tin Hau, which gave both of us a bit more freedom (for fun + work). Mostly, we spent time catching up with family, eating a large variety of foods and buying random electronics. We also went on a little hike to the Dragon's Backbone, a first for HK local Celine!
Seoul & Busan
|Accomplished: Visited all five of Seoul's Royal Palaces
I can never get enough of Seoul! We just spent a week, as we really had no specific plans for Korea this time. We ate lots of Korean foods and ended up visiting some historical sites and museums I haven't been to in my previous three times in the city. In addition, we met a friend who lives there and of course could not escape the lure of all those silly Korean cosmetics shops. My face will be SO moisturised this winter!
We also spent three days in Busan, where everything seemed to fail. When we wanted to go on a hike, it rained. When we wanted to go to the bath house/spa, it was the only day in the month they were closed. When we finally found the hike, we found the trail limited and the way back almost impossible to find. Nevertheless, we managed to meet up with a couchsurfing friend we hosted a few years ago in London.
Kyushu - Nagasaki, Kagoshima and Yakushima
|laughing at Dutch people in Nagasaki
From Busan, we took to the ferry to Hakata/Fukuoka, where we were welcomed with a good grilling by the Japanese immigration officers, who wondered why we were in Japan again after just three weeks ago. I had assumed that they would question me and assume I'm an illegal English teacher, but they seemed to be much more interested in Celine. Once I told them that we "are partners" and "live together", they let go of us, but not without asking me if I had any illegal drugs first.
We went straight for the next train to Nagasaki, because Fukuoka is not exactly a very exciting or lovable place from my experience. Nagasaki turned out to be quite different from what I expected, much smaller and more provincial than I thought. The tourist attractions are all a bit overly garish and fake for me, although the Dutch related history parts were interesting. Of course, we visited the atomic bomb related sites and museum, which is a little bit more politically sensitive than the one in Hiroshima when it comes to Japan's war crimes.
On we moved to Kagoshima, by bus, because trains are seriously expensive in Kyushu. I love this southern island so much; the climate is almost sub-tropical and the landscape always seems more lush and unspoilt than other parts of Japan. The sunset on the bus was amazing.
|Kagoshima - Would you dare to live opposite a VERY active volcano?
Kagoshima surprised us not with volcanic ash, but with a lot of amazing food and vibrant nightlife which I had not expected at all at this end of the country. People in Kyushu are a bit strange - 50 % of them are welcoming and excited to talk to travellers, 50 % seem to be freaked out if they have to interact with a white foreigner.
|We stayed at a very cute traditional guest house on Yakushima
Our last stop was Yakushima, a UNESCO protected natural world heritage island which is famous as the inspiration for Princess Mononoke (which I've never watched, but of course it needs to be mentioned).
We rented a car and managed to do a small hike (most there are for the serious hiker, from 8 hrs to 2 days) while driving around the entire island.
After two days, it was time to catch the ferry to Kagoshima and our flight...
Back to Osaka!
For the next 8 weeks, we're in Osaka, in a flat that suddenly feels way to big after all those small Japanese hotel rooms. It's the longest we'll be in one place since we set off from London in June 2015. Osaka has long felt like a second home to me, and since I've lost touch with London more and more, maybe even like my first home.
We were considering staying here for the long run, or at least a year or so, but it looks like life has something else in store for us...

About Me

Oh, I'll be able to play it; as Turn 10 Studio has pointed out, Forza 4 caters to the skill level of nearly every player. Having made it around a couple of the game's tracks without crashing into a barrier, albeit on the easiest difficulty, I can report on the accuracy of that statement. But I will never love it as much as its intended audience because I am not a petrol-head sim-racing obsessive for whom gazing at cars generates the same excitement as looking at pornography.
As players pan around the car, icons appear over points of interest, offering the opportunity for closer inspection. When selected, the camera zooms in, a list of design specifications pops up and a disembodied voice reels off stats and figures. Top Gear fans will be pleased to know that Jeremy Clarkson is in the game, providing his personal opinion on each car available in Autovista mode.
Besides being a visual treat for young car racers to show Vista is also a way Forza 4 's stunning graphics engine. Turn 10, said that one of the things the rest of the game from the auto mode, Vista has benefited from the engine 's image-based lighting technology (or IBL for short) is. IBL uses all the light bounce off the environment to the cars in the game to be realistic light makes them look both in the car showroom and Vista in the game 's race.
The game 's career mode is provided as a world tour, which sees players dot from track to track around the globe. When she has to go to a place that the election is the race events are available around the cars in the garage of the players, and the cars they use most are based. Players who picked up a copy of Forza 3 start with advantages over newcomers, like Forza reads 4 in their profile, giving them extra cars and extra credits.
It 's also a bit more variety in the types of races available, apart from just bumper to bumper, there is drift racing competitions, multi-heat race and autocross. Each race presents the player credits and also opens up new vehicles. This time, however, players have the choice between three cars out so they get aren \ t use 't in the possession of a vehicle, forced them won'.
The World Tour mode also changes its difficulties, how well the player is based. From one race to another, builds Forza 4 a running line and adjusts the difficulty accordingly. The AI ??also upgrades itself and the developers have limited the types of cars that players can bring to specific races, keep everything on a much more level playing field.

Minecraft will also begin exposing its code soon, allowing users to create their own add-ons with tools as simple as Notepad and MS Paint.

Few games offer as much combat playstyle customizability as Monster Hunter World, which not only allows you to choose your armor, but you can also choose from dozens of skills, and 14 weapon types.
In Monster Hunter World, you're part of a guild of warrior hunters tasked with maintaining the balance of a monster-filled ecosystem. Monster Hunter World is a co-op focused affair, which supports teams of up to four players as you battle everything from giant bats, to hulking dinosaurs and towering dragons.

Action-Adventure is a broad genre that encompasses all sorts of titles that don't quite fit into a more specific category. Quantum Break isn't quite a shooter, as the majority of your combat hinges on the heavy use of time-warping powers that spew gorgeous special effects across every surface, and the fabric of reality itself.
Quantum Break is one of the only titles on Xbox One that utilizes live-action cutscenes, which play out like high-quality modern TV show episodes in between levels.
Bottom line: Visceral combat, breath-taking visuals and Remedy's signature unique story-telling make Quantum Break an unmissable $20 Action-Adventure Xbox One title.

After a long winter in development, The Long Dark has triumphantly emerged from the Game Preview program.
The Long Dark is a survival simulator without equal. Playing either in the game's episodic story mode or open world sandbox mode, your task is to manage your thirst, hunger, and the biting Canadian cold.

Yep, it's a bunch of links about tatoos. What can I say? The one I got is healing up beautifully and I'm excited to get more.
If you're considering one and it's your first, you can read some tips on getting a tattoo from real tattoo artists. Pay attention to what they say about working with the artist.
Of course Gala Darling also wrote about how to get a great tattoo and although she's since said she's experienced some tattoo regret, I think that that idea of your tattoo having to mean something, other than just being beautiful? I don't agree. Some really beautiful tattoos are art for art's sake and there's value in that too.
Alli Woods Frederick of Kisses and Chaos wrote a post on 5 things you should know about tattoos and, like everything she writes, it's good stuff.
I stumbled across the awesome looking Things and Ink magazine quite by accident, and I already ordered two of the back issues. Artistic, with cultural content about tattoo history and current trends- It looks like it'll be a fascinating read. Issues about identity, and celebration, and art? Yes please.
I arrived at Things and Ink via The Laughing Medusa's blog, which has a whole load of "tattoo talks"- interviews with people who have them, or make them, even a laser removal technician.
I'll leave you with a non-tattoo related beauty link. This post from a blogger who found a bunch of her old Body Shop perfume oils brought back so many memories for me. I was an Ananya girl (because my Mum already took White Musk for herself). I can still remember the smell of their coconut perfume oil, and longing for the jasmine perfume because I read about it in Just Seventeen. Did anyone else frequent the perfume oil tester bar at the back of each Body Shop with the big glass tester bottles and their glass wands? Heaven. And dear God, I remember wanting Exclamation perfume, and owning a bottle of Tribe and adoring it.

Film Journal International, 3.3.11
By Doris Toumarkine
True-life crime drama about the rise and fall of '70s Cleveland mobster kingpin Danny Greene proves there's life in one of cinema's most venerable genres. Performances, pacing, production design, etc. make for gripping entertainment well beyond the intermittent loud blasts of bullets and bombs.
Is it possible to refresh the indomitable mobster crime drama that has persisted since the '30s classics and beyond to touchstones like the Godfather trilogy or more recent hits like "The Sopranos"? Ya betta believe it, resounds Jonathan Hensleigh's Kill the Irishman, a hugely entertaining pastiche of potent narrative vignettes and some archival material tracking the mid-'70s criminal life and death of fearless Cleveland thug Danny Greene and his headline-grabbing exploits.
Word of mouth and critical support should kick in to drive discerning audiences into seats. Irishman's assured, pounding, straightforward approach should also deliver to those easier-to-please, assuming they discover the film.
Bookended by an assassination attempt, the tale of career criminal Greene's (Ray Stevenson) exploits begins as he finds work in the '60s on the mob-controlled Lake Erie docks. Fed up with bad working conditions and the brutish union president, the orphaned bully Danny, the product of a tough Cleveland neighborhood, eliminates the old-school boss and pummels his way to the top union job.
As Danny gets what he wants professionally, he also conquers as a confidently laid-back ladies man and marries Joan (Linda Cardellini). But with mob infiltration of the docks exposed, he lands in prison. Back on the street after agreeing to sing to the F.B.I., he sees his finances sink and his wife take off.
Danny turns to collecting debts for powerful loan shark and restaurateur Shondor Birns (Christopher Walken), and shakes down garbage collectors, with the help of Keith Ritson (Vinnie Jones). Wanting to be his own boss, Danny teams up with gangster John Nardi (Vincent D'Onofrio), who proves his loyalty to Danny with a dead body packed into a car trunk.
The more Danny accrues power, the more he becomes a target of the local mafia. A fierce and bloody war ensues that has Cleveland lead detective Joe Manditski (Val Kilmer), who knew Danny as a kid from the old neighborhood, in charge.
When Danny wants to open his own club, Birns arranges for a loan from the Gambino family. But when the money is appropriated by a drug dealer and Danny is stuck with the debt, more hell breaks loose. Danny refuses to be accountable and, launching a turf war, Birns gives the order to "kill the Irishman."
There are countless attempts on Danny's life, but the Cleveland Teflon don (Irish style) eludes the enemy. The turf war of summer 1976 results in the detonation of 36 bombs detonated in the heart of Cleveland and puts the battle on the network-news map. (Brian Ross and Tom Brokaw were among those who reported Cleveland's troubles.)
Having valiantly fought small neighborhood battles and found a girlfriend, Danny is determined to try cattle ranching in Texas. He brazenly travels to New York to seek a loan from New York mobster Tony Salerno (Paul Sorvino). But Salerno's ally Frank Brancato (Vinny Vella, Sr.) hires an L.A. hit man to take care of Danny.
Kill the Irishman is highly episodic, with loads of lowlife characters killing or ducking bullets and punches. Thankfully, Kilmer's voice-overs as lead detective help provide clarity.
Stevenson, with some studio action films to his credit ( The Book of Eli and The Other Guys) and Northern Ireland/English roots, cut his teeth at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre. He's mesmerizing as Danny and gives what could have been a familiar bum immense populist appeal (a quality the guilt-prone will find disturbing). A hulking, likeable brute with soul and charisma, his Danny bursts with pride in his Irish-American heritage as he blasts his way violently and brazenly to infamy, until the inevitable. Neither too "goombah" nor otherwise clichéd, the entire supporting cast, including Kilmer, D'Onofrio and Walken, are also a pleasure to watch.
Even DP Karl Walter Lindenlaub and production designer Patrizia Von Brandenstein's period palette of grainy brown/orange/gold/beige/faded blue tones, the many vintage cars, and the dreary Detroit (doubling for Cleveland) locations evoke the kitschy, gritty world of a besieged '70s city. The décor, familiar music tracks and nostalgia-invoking Irish melodies convey the story's design-challenged Midwest working-class milieu and further sustain the illusion of this sordid world.

Mississippi State University Extension specialists are advising cotton growers to consider delaying applications of defoliants until after the round of cooler temperatures predicted for this weekend has ended.
Nighttime temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s are predicted across Mississippi for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. After Sunday night, nighttime temperatures are predicted to be above 70 degrees.
"Consider delaying defoliation applications and enjoying the holiday weekend without worrying about whether or not your defoliant is going to work as desired," said Darrin Dodds, Extension cotton specialist with Mississippi State University.
"You can make applications toward the beginning of next week once weather conditions begin to warm."
Dodds said cooler temperatures can seriously limit of several defoliants, particularly thidiazuron or Dropp.
Producers in other states should consult Extension specialists in their areas for advice on whether to delay applications.

No, not my trust in Annalise. That is still being earned. But the trust of which I speak is in an inanimate object…
Door knobs.
One day last week, Annalise was able to open and close a door, repeatedly. With a knob. A knob I have trusted in since Annalise was able to crawl. This knob is no longer able to keep my toddler in or out. I am in a state of shock.
I knew this day would come, and I've even seen glimpses of it's coming. Annalise figured out a long time ago that the shiny brass (I know, we have the latest 90s fashion in door hardware) handle was the key to freedom. As soon as she could pull herself up, she'd reach up for that handle. And I'd smile as her fingers barely touched the knob.
Now I'm not smiling. Her entire hand fits squarely over the knob. It's just the twisting mechanics that is keeping her at bay. Until last week.
Thankfully, Annalise has forgotten about her new found skill. I shan't remind her. And you better not either.

1) inviolate property rights,
2) recognition that coercion is not a proper means to order society, and
3) no one, regardless of employer, is subject to laws different than the rest (setting aside who makes and enforces the laws),
the Constitution is of little comfort as a document, although certainly better than others of which I am aware (especially when taken with The Declaration of Independence).
That these were not clearly delineated is a flaw. There may be hints of this in the document, but like any written document, subject to interpretation. Even the Fifth Amendment makes clear that private property can be taken.
Of course, there is that little problem of being party to an agreement that one was never party to....

No, the website close down earlier this year. I got out of exhaust business since the demand was low. I might pump a little batch of DIY kit if few member want some early next year.
Heya Marthy, is your website still in existance for the fz6r exhaust kits?
Hey Mate,
I didn't cut mine.
Hi Marthy installing new 787s. What is the end to end measurement you cut them to? Assuming you took some length off? Thanks.
There's a hose on the airbox that connect on the RH top side, under the fuel tank. Disconnect the hose then stuff something in there to block it... then plug it back on the airbox so crap don't get in... just as good as doing the BOP.
Just wanted to send another HUGE thank you to you. thins thing is bonkers!. I cant believe how much louder it is and how many improvements it made to my ride.
it does have a little garle when decel. but i guess thats tough to tune out . no backfiring though. I dont have a boplate so i am certain that's playing a factor as well.
As soon as i left the garage , and got on a busy street. PD right behind me for like 3 miles. sucked. I finally pulled into a gas station and let him cruise by.
yes! yes! yes!. Ill get those pictures and some sound up and to you asap. !!
thanks BOSS!
Check out the how too video or read the PCV instructions. Need to tap the pink wire from the bike speed sensor on top of the gearbox to the PCV with a 22G wire. So the PCV know your speed/gear you're running.
didnt get the speed sensor. thats a separate attach?
Sure. Just download the map directly from my website under Tech Support. Advgear RevB has been the best over the years... just hook up the speed sensor to the PCV.

On motion of Trustee Atkinson, amended by Trustees Rutka and Kaplan, the June 22nd Board meeting considered:
Whereas, the budget for the 2011-12 year has been balanced by making approximately $10m in permanent reductions to the budget and $43.3m in one time measures: which is not sustainable; and
Whereas, the timing of both the Grants for Student Needs and approval of staffing allocation in February-March to meet collective agreement timelines continues to put press on the budget process; and Whereas, to accommodate these pressures, preliminary budget work must be expedited, in particular, any staff reductions recommended to balance the budget must be in place prior to staff allocation in February; and
Whereas, $175.8 million of programs and activities of the Board are not directly supported or funded by the Ministry including programs or activities that the board supports above the level of Provincial funding as outlined in Appendix A; and

(b) That the Director prepare a three-year operating recovery plan;
(c) That the Director provide a proposed three-year operating recovery timeline for a September 2011 meeting of the Budget Committee;
(d) That reductions to staff and programs to balance the budget come from the following list of items which either are not directly supported/funded by the Ministry, or from programs or activities that the Board supports above the level of provincial funding, or other combinations that may arise as grants and circumstances change;

(f) That each item for reduction be accompanied by an explanation of the rationale for its existence and impact of its reduction on the system;
(g) That the Board's Strategic Plan be used as a guide for proposing and making reductions;
(h) That staff present a recommendation for the hiring of a consultant who is expert in the area of participatory input and decision making to guide the Board in the development of a participatory 2012-13 budget. At the Committee meeting, on amendment of Trustee Rutka,

What's it like being the child of a hall of famer and local broadcasting celebrity? You break a lot of eggs.
... "You just want your kids to do what they love and be happy," Emily said. "The lessons you learn in an athletic environment are the most valuable lessons you can learn and apply to life."
"Sports is the foundation for the rest of your life," Hillary said, who graduated with a degree in sociology from Bates and is now an events coordinator for the High School Year Exchange (Student) program in Boston. "In the workplace, I'm competitive and team-oriented. I learned that not only from sports, but from my parents, too."
"When you're growing up, you think everybody's parents have all this knowledge about sports," Ellis said. "I didn't realize until I got older how lucky we were to have mom and dad as our parents. Not only did they teach us a lot of lessons through sports, they're also good human beings."
Tim pointed out that he and Emily insisted that their children play a musical instrument so they would be well-rounded. Ellis played drums and Hillary played clarinet and piano.
