Because of a stalker I had for a very long time (years) I kept my identity as the owner of this group private. I felt really bad about this, because I did so want this group to be represented by an actual human face. I didn't like keeping this group as an amorphous, faceless entity. I really wanted to give this group an accessible human presence.
On the other hand, I also really wanted to keep all prospective members safe from the harassment which comes with a stalker whose issues are unfathomable. However much I wanted to share my identity as the owner of this group, it just wasn't safe for me to reveal it. So in the interests of everybody's safety (including my own), I kept my identity off this site.
This is one of the reasons why respecting and enforcing the privacy and confidentiality of all members is so important to me.
I did introduce myself by both my real name and my online name to every prospective member who attended a group meet. I wish more of you had attended. Still, some of you did, and all of those people all know exactly who I am.
- I thank all of you lovely human beings for coming along to those meets and showing your support. You showed me that some of you out there share my vision and goals for this group. That still means a lot to me. I hope you'll come again once we're off the ground in our new form. 🙂
An Announcementy Moment
At any rate, the point I am getting to (if you haven't guessed already) is that after all that, I am hoping that it is now safe to identify myself as the owner of Women In Charge. Since I haven't had any contact attempts from the stalker for awhile now, I'm going to risk identifying myself publicly as the owner of this group. In part this is because I think the stalker-related risks to prospective members are reduced to nearly nothing, and in part because I hope that putting a human face on Women In Charge will help to make this group feel more accessible to you.
So I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you all.
- Hello world – I am the creator, owner, and administrator of the group you know as Women In Charge, and many of you know me already –
– as Lubyanka.
I hope to meet some of you soon. I'm very glad to be here. 🙂
Warm regards,
Lubyanka – on behalf of Women In Charge.

When we talk about the hunting of animals, most often think of dogs. But along with them, our ancestors used, birds of prey. The tradition of hunting with tame bird of prey appeared very long ago, but now it is preserved only in some countries. One such country is Kazakhstan. We have people with the gift of taming and training birds of prey, called kusbegi. Their is not much, only about hundred. But gradually they revived this ancient tradition.
In the hole "Ilantau" near the village of Nura, IV national tournament for hunting was held with birds of prey. It was organized by the Federation of hunting, "Kyran". The weather was beautiful, calm and sunny day, these days called "Sonar" by berkutchi . After the urban smog it was a pleasure to breathe the fresh crisp air. Have a look of Amazing pictures….
1. Competitions were held in several disciplines, starting with an assessment of the appearance and quality of equipment of the hunters, check out how well the bird is trained and listen its owner, and finally the main action begins – the hunting of live rabbits and foxes. later the winners are decided, In accordance with the manner of the attack in hunting birds , prey birds are divided into "high-flying" – these are the falcons, birds and a "low flying" – golden eagles and others.
2. In Central Asia, the hunters are of the same group. Birds of prey called "Kara-Snatch" (black-eyed, in fact, "black birds") and "Sary-Snatch" (yellow-eyed, actually "yellow bird"). The first owners of the Golden Eagles competed. Hunters and spectators climbed on top of the cliff, offering excellent views of the flat area where the hunt occurred. In the center of the sand on the snow, the terms handed down a live rabbit. Berkutchi removed the bird's head tomagu( a special cap) which closes his eyes. weight of the golden eagle is average 8 – 9 kg and a wingspan up to two meters. At this point, the other birds begin to worry, they flap their wings and feel the beginning of the hunt.
3. It is difficult to convey the feelings that cover you when you stand in the corner and this mighty bird flaps its wings over your head before throwing the prey. Sharp eye eagle snatches a gray point but the white snow. He dives on prey, releasing forward the sharp claws and knocks her down. Hunter and his team down the cliff to snatch prey from the claws of birds and they give a well-deserved award of portion of meat. Golden Eagles reamin hungry before the competition by their owners to sharpened thier hunting instincts. After graduating the stage of hunting they go to chase the foxes. There is no every bird is capable to cope with the fast and tricky animals. More than half of the foxes managed to escape from the eagle. To be honest, it was an impressive, fascinating but, like all hunting it is quite cruel spectacle, not good for the faint heart.
6. Makpal Abdrazakov – the only woman berkutchi in the tournament. By profession she is a lawyer, she has more than 10 years of experience of hunting and it believes that it is perfectly acceptable hobby for a woman.
10. Hunters communicate with birds, soothe them and set up for the upcoming hunt. The process of learning and training make special friendship Between man and bird .
11. These birds have taken from the nest and eventually taught the art of hunting. First they have to get used to humans. Then they need to learn how to sit on a special glove worn on the hand of the hunter. The bird should sit quietly while riding on a golden eagle feeding time loshadi.Pervoe pickled meat, golden eagle and then they offered a small amount of bloody meat svezheubitoy poultry or lamb. Golden Eagle eagerly rushes to him. Little by little eagle gets used to take the meat out of the hands of the owner. . Then begin to learn to take the fox. To do this, they need to prepare eagle for very hungry stinct,and then they tie a piece of bloody meat to the head of a stuffed fox. Assistant trainer fast runs and drags on a long thin strap stuffed. The owner of a golden eagle plucks cap that covers the golden eagle eye. The bird, seeing that it goes to lunch, take off, catching up the stuffed and sits on it. And like this they teach their hunting birds. I spoke with several experienced berkuchi and one of them told me: "The main thing in training of birds of prey is, she began to trust you and accept you as a friend and comrade. You have to be in love with her soul and need to learn the feeling of each other's desires.
12. 13. Hunters praying and asking God for luck in the upcoming hunting.
15. I was able to talk with the executive director of public fund "Kyran Federation." She told me that for the majority of hunters and the content of training birds of prey is a hobby rather than a means of income. The content of this bird is quite expensive (On the day, eagle eats one-third of its weight, which is about 2-3 pounds of raw meat). According to director of the federation in this country there is no income-only skill of taming and falconry. State practice does not support the members of this unique tradition, which is in my opinion is the property of our country. Money is allocated only to hold tournaments. Just for the preservation and transmission of this tradition for future generations. In 2005, federation of hunters with birds of prey, "Kyran" was established. She bought the land around the village of Nura for tournaments. Together with a center "Zhalairi Shore" they organized it only in Kazakhstan. So far their is only sponsor is a company with the support of GSM Kazakhstan which organize the tournaments and assist in teaching children for berkutchi the National Academy of Tourism and Sports. In my opinion, By seriously investing more in the infrastructure of the area around the village of Nura, we can extract more profit from the tourist potential of this place.
16. The village of Nura is now composed of three houses. It has been almost completely destroyed after an earthquake in 2008. The last event in the program was hunting with falcons and hawks for small birds.
17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. Hunting Hound – basins such as the Assistant berkutchi and poultry. She finds her prey and scare to notice the golden eagle animal.
26. One of the customs during the hunt – try to give a golden eagle prey.
29. After graduating from flying hawks and falcons the winners were awarded with cash prizes and medals. Winners get the same universal esteem and respect among the other hunters.
31. And here is the end of this competition. Personally, I found it very interesting to watch them and all who receive this opportunity, I would advise you to watch this unique ancient tradition.

The Causes of and Solutions for Security Burnout
Getting burnt out in your job is an issue that many of us deal with, but in the information security field it's even more pronounced. The problem is there are a lot of negatives built into the job title, before you even look at what it takes to do the job on an ongoing basis, explained Jack Daniel (@jack_daniel), product manager at Tenable Network Security and a co-founder of Security B-Sides.
At the Security B-Sides conference I spoke with Daniel about security burnout and he set the stage by outlining all the negative job characteristics of working in security:
- Those who migrate to security are cynical
- Penetration testing always succeeds so you always know you're vulnerable.
- A good day for a person in security is when nothing happens.
- You're always playing defense.
Possible solutions to security burnout, that are not unique to security professionals, are giving a greater sense of control of your work environment and the value you're bringing to the organization. If we have a better sense of control then it reduces our cynicism. It's hard for employers to do, but if you can create that positive environment security workers are less tired after a day of the same amount of work, Daniel explained.
Another problem is when you think you're not accomplishing anything is to take on more work. If you do that, which isn't all that bad, is to make sure that the work you take on is meaningful and rewarding to you, said Daniel. This is one way to turn a problem into a possible solution.
Another solution is to look for a mentor or be a mentor. If you can contribute to community it can help make you feel that what you're doing is valuable if not to your company to the greater security community, Daniel said.
If all else fails, turn to Twitter, said Daniel. The security community has embraced it, have you?

Life insurance is designed to protect your beneficiaries with financial stability and security when it matters most. In the event of your passing, life insurance provides financial help to your beneficiaries.
Life insurance can help your beneficiaries with:
- Covering any lost income, helping continue the same standard of living
- Paying off any debts
- Paying for your children's education
- Covering funeral and related costs
Which is right for you? First, always ask yourself why you need your life insurance policy and what you're trying to accomplish by having a life insurance policy. Are you insuring your life so that when you pass away your children will be able to go to college or so your spouse will be able to pay off the mortgage? A temporary form of life insurance – term life – is well suited for these concerns. If you are more concerned about providing income to a widow or widower for life, funding retirement, or passing on wealth to future generations you will find permanent life insurance to be better suited for these goals. If you have a temporary goal in mind then term insurance is probably best.
However, if you are looking to address a long term need or concern then its best to look at the right permanent life insurance policies for you. Buying insurance of any kind is often confusing. There are always a lot of factors to be considered.
At integrity insurance Arizona, we understand that life happens and that every need is different.
We care about you and your family, your not a number with us, your a friend; we will listen to your needs and find an appropriate plan that will help protect your loved ones
We are here for you, Please feel free to contact our office to discuss Life insurance in greater detail.

Strategic Planning
Charting the Way Forward with Strategic Planning
Our mission is to help our clients create realistic, actionable strategic plans. Plan development is founded on thoughtful drafting of issues, spirited debate and careful facilitation. A meaningful plan answers questions concerning what client organizations can do, what they want to do, and what they are willing to do to achieve their strategic goals.
For more than 45 years, Matthews, Young – Management Consulting has provided strategic, compensation and executive search services to owners and/or executives of all types of organizations. Our strategic services practice is devoted to helping clients develop a strategic management program to direct the organization toward the consistent accomplishment of multi-period goals.
Our Philosophy
Strategic planning issues are directly related to an organization's condition, culture and objectives. Each client is unique and there is no standard answer to an organization's needs. Solutions must be designed, implemented and internalized. We like to be held accountable for achieving results, not making recommendations. We pursue results and work hard to ensure the client gets the sought after benefits. We keep the client informed throughout the consulting process to insure the client is never surprised.
The Approach
We provide assistance to the Board and Management in developing and describing a Strategic Vision for an organization. This can usually be best accomplished through a series of working sessions of the Board and/or Management Team, in which we guide discussions through three important phases:
Phase 1: Assessment
Critical to the successful setting of direction is the establishment of the starting point, the present condition of the organization. This is a multidimensional assessment of soundness, vitality and peer comparability.
The assessment should look to the past to determine the nature of past efforts and successes. An appreciation of the firm's assets (hard and soft) must be gained to determine the inventory of resources available. An understanding of the competitors, current and prospective, and of supporters, must be developed to assess the operational environment for change. Finally, an assessment of the competence and potential of management must be made to determine the depth of this critical resource.
Phase 2: Goal Setting
The application of vision to the setting of goals is the least understood element of the planning process. It requires a willingness to consider a broad range of potential "futures" and to examine the implications of each. Outcomes that represent both success and failure must be examined to determine the applicability and leveragability of available resources to achieve or avoid the consequences of each course of action. It is the exploration of "what could be", both good and bad, that will surface the bedrock issues of the client's future. Just as the assessment seeks to answer the traditional question of strategy "who are we?" This process deals with the more compelling question of "who do we want to be?"
Phase 3: Scenario Development
Here the resources of the client are applied to the potential accomplishment of the plan. Through scenario development we attempt to live the future. Issues relating to redeployment of the client's assets such as office relocation, product focus, management development, mergers and acquisitions, and capital formation are likely to be central to the determination of a feasible and acceptable course of action. We will stretch our planning horizon beyond a single year to determine the vitality and robustness of our vision.
At the conclusion of the process we will have examined the client, its strengths and weaknesses and evaluated in that light, a range of outcomes. Finally, we will have drawn into focus a desired outcome and analyzed client resources available for its accomplishment, highlighting strengths and voids. The stage will be set for the follow-on development of annual business plans by the Management Team.
We ordinarily plan for four working sessions of 3 hours each in length, all completed in the span of two to three weeks, in order to accomplish the work described above. In this way, the sessions are not overlong and the time required is spread out so as not to overburden personal schedules. Moreover, the time between sessions allows useful time for reflection. However, we can conduct the Board session in a single extended one day sitting.
In preparation for the sessions with the Board, we develop preliminary profiles of the client and its competitors, and establish a baseline of interests from among the Board and Management. The latter is accomplished through a survey of the Board and Management Team.

And when we want to get into shape, we use our feet to propel us along the trail. Our book club has always been on the road. We use travel time, to go places through books: ancient Egypt, K2, New York and Easter Island. Welcome to On The Road. It is a journey that will make you think about what you read.
Books!!! You and your father love them and have passed the virus on to the rest of us. What a better way to connect our thoughts that on a book blog. We will meet there often.

Tongues, Lips and Questions
Mari Meade produces a showcase show at Triskelion Arts with 3 Guest Choreographers
Mari Meade Dance Collective and Brooklyn Arts Council joined forces to produce their first show, successfully. Meade, after showing work in many venues for the past two years, is boosting herself to the next level as producer and wants to create an annual show at Triskelion Arts.
Choreography by:
Mari Meade Montoya, Sophie Maguire and Liz Young, Tiana Hemlock, Catherine Miller
Triskelion Arts
September 17, 2011
Lights up, Vivaldi music begins, and the first two dancers Breanna Gribble and Hannah Darrah clad in cream colored ruffles, sweep onto the stage in Meade's
The Dirt Belies Us
. The dancers' vibrant energy and curious glances to one another set the tone for the call and response dynamic of their duet. Splayed fingers and clenched fists make their attitudes known. The second duo Allison Beler and Rachel Rizzuto also with the clenched fist motif, add more quirky flavor to their duet. Rizzuto shows persistence and frustration in shaking her fist at Beler, as if to say, "Do you hear me?!" The piece culminates in a playful quartet, overlapping and fusing the relationships from the duets, and ending with the attention on Rizzuto's deliberate shaking fist.
Lonely Goat Dance Company's
The Less Vanished
has a striking opening composition one dancer, Lily Ockwell, is crouched in the downstage corner staring directly into the harsh light in front of her. On the upstage diagonal, Amber Morgan braces Kaitlin Morse on her back as Morse treads the air very slowly with her long limbs, creating looming shadows in the starkly lit space. Dressed in simple black leotards and matching cape-skirt contraptions, they move like three witches seductively conjuring a spirit, keeping their focus intensely on the beam of light downstage. This hypnotic concentration feels delightfully eerie. Notable movement ideas include their deep-lunging stance; using their fingers as eviscerating samurai swords; and flicking their skirts like bull fighters.

In Meade's excerpt from
community: ratio
, it is refreshing to see a duet between two men, Ryan Page and Alex Dean Speedie. Both are very long-bodied, and this is enhanced by their ace bandage/bondage-type costumes. Original music by Gregory Miles Hoffman is manic and mutating one minute sounding like alien communication, then a man speaking, then a prima donna belting out a dramatic soprano solo. The dancers match this frenetic atmosphere with equally wild and spastic movement, as if they are robots losing their transmission. One humorous moment during the alien communication noise has the dancers come together with the Star Trek Vulcan Salute.
, choreographed by Tiana Hemlock in collaboration with Milvia Pacheco, Jeremy Olson, and CJ Holm, brings silliness and groove. CJ Holm enters from far upstage walking straight towards the audience. She is dressed in a crocheted sweater that appears to be stuffed with newspapers, giving her a lumpy upper body, but she pays no mind to this fact. Standing only a foot away from the crowd, she looks at us with friendly eyes and a silly grin, like she is picturing us all naked and secretly laughing about it. But then the music hits, a red wall appears as the new back drop, and Holm is grooving like she has never grooved before! Hemlock joins the dance party with her own stuffed sweater shimmying, doing the chicken legs, the monkey; it's all good. As they are dancing hard, Hemlock's stuffing is coming out, and Holm gets upset, yelling "That's not how it goes!" Hemlock attacks Holm, and pulls out all of her stuffing as well, resulting in a big mess as they stare at each other a bit defeated. In slow motion, they dance in unison, using the newspaper pieces as props, while Gene Kelly's "Singing in the Rain" provides a happy soundtrack for their lethargy. The piece ends with Holm and Hemlock facing the audience in silence, moving with small, awkward gestures that imitate their original groove.
With fall arriving, Meade's
Spit and Skip
made me long for those summer beach days in the California sun. With the music of Esquivel, it is hard to go wrong, and Meade and her dancers have a strong talent for combining comedy and dance. Dressed in red high-waisted short shorts and bikini tops, they group under a spotlight, showing off their physiques. Each dancer has their own character, but playful movement motifs of flirty glances, kissing lips, flicking tongues, jazz hands, and fluttery kicks unify them. Suddenly, only the pair of Hannah Darrah and Breanna Gribble is left onstage, and they vie for the attention of one lucky guy sitting in the front row. Gribble takes her chances and actually leaps into his lap and covers his cheeks with kisses; it takes guts and commitment to follow through with that stunt! Next, Meade plops herself on a chair in the stance of a slouched guy scoping the club for a lady friend. Her two other fella friends, Alison Beler and Rachel Rizzuto, stand behind her joining in on the prowl. They dance together combining feminine and masculine movement ideas, like booty shakes and flexed biceps. Their exploration of this dichotomy is interesting because they are dressed feminine as they take on the character of these men. Secretly, Rizzuto begins to chew to gum, and she looks as if it's the most fun chewing gum could ever be. Blowing huge bubbles, popping them, pulling the gum out of her mouth and using it as a lasso, bundling it up and pretending it's earwax, belly button left overs, and armpit junk grossly hilarious. A second lucky guy sitting in the front row gets Rizzuto flavored gum! A full version of this piece will show in Dixon Place's Under Exposed series on November 8.
Juliet Looks to the West
, choreographed by Walking Talking/Catherine Miller, is a lovely duet danced by Catherine Miller and Lonnie Poupard, Jr. Eating space with their sweeping, releasing, and splicing; they are perfect movement personifications of the violin strings they are dancing to. Miller keeps her focus to the west, as Poupard tries desperately to get her attention. They are in constant motion, in luscious floor sequences and smooth partnering. Finding brief moments of emotional connection as they cradle each other on the ground, it seems as though Poupard and Miller may be finally united. But just as she started, Miller continues to focus on something beyond what he can offer her, to the west.
Finally, this amazing show culminates in Meade's knockout piece,
Q & Unfinished Sentences
. The company lines up in close proximity, frantically spouting questions at the audience: "Are we going to start from the beginning? Will I ever settle down? Am I touching you? Are you touching me? Wait...what's my question?!" In between asking their questions, they engage in inaudible whispers and coded hand gestures. They take turns stepping out of line to dance solos, one of which is interrupted by the question "Isn't that your solo?!" As one dances, the others respond to her in unison, like alert, perky animals. The dance is unfolding seemingly smoothly and then, bam! One yells out, "This is SO NOT HAPPENING!" Others chime in exclaiming, "NO, sooo not gonna happen! This is not possible!!" Looking to the audience for some encouragement, one dancer second guesses the negativity "Wait, maybe this could happen...Look, they are laughing! I see my parents!" They collectively agree to resume their dance, and are extremely excited, but Hannah Darrah is separated from the group already dancing, in her own world. The rest finally notice her and clump together, swaying behind her. Darrah's feelings of frustration take over and she becomes a madwoman, mumbling, pacing, and crying out, "You know, I'm really trying, but I just can't do it anymore!" You want her to regain her confidence, and she does bring herself together. But what comes next is unexpectable; Rizzuto emerges from the group and and commences a bout of pure comical genius. Through her own imagination, speaking a gibberish language, Rizzuto commands the group to listen to her, and they all shuffle to their seated places at the front of the stage to listen to the rest of her orders. Rizzuto then performs minutes of a monologue in completely made-up tongues, with different tones, facial gestures, body language, like an amazing cartoon character. In between the gibberish she breaks out in uncontrolled bursts of Broadway show tunes The Sound of Music, West Side Story, etc., and after each song snippet, she ends up being disgusted by whatever she just sang and viciously spits out more word vomit! It is the most bizarre and entertaining thing I have seen from one person in a while. The entire audience was roaring in laughter by this point. The piece ends with the group unified in a clump, moving in neatly calculated gestures as if working on a dance assembly line. They become overwhelmed with questions, and Meade Montoya looks to the audience and asks, "Is it...? Is it...?" Is it....incredibly good? Yes, it sure is!

The Top Teams List You Don't Want to Be On/
The decision of the University of North Dakota to preserve sports was a solid win, albeit one with a lot of work ahead. One thing that was vital was the advance warning Head Coach Chris Maiello provided. In conversations with other Olympic sports organizations there is a growing fear that the Spring of 2017 could be a frightful one for our sports.
In order ahead of this crisis, we began conducting threat assessments for all Division I programs, including those that have been eliminated recently. THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN STARTLING. Of the top twelve teams identified as being at risk, three have already been eliminated.

Well, and then I met this guy and he bragged about that he would make a nice profit with these sets.
Guess who was angry

if tru clearance prices swamp speeders at half off, like heck they would but let's just pretend here, and you walk in and see the last two sitting on the shelf, would you honestly leave one behind so another person has a chance to buy it? i seriously doubt it. if it's 2 left, or 20 left on the shelf, where do you draw the line between acceptable purchasing and unacceptable hoarding?
Tyrant wrote:I know I've never bought more than 2 or 3 sets to sell, but I have bought more than 10 of some sets toy myself (more than 20 of one set). Does that qualify as hoarding? The sets are still out of circulation at retail so the end result (someone other than me misses a chance to buy that set) is essentially the same.

So this blog, and my brand image, were due for an overhaul a long time ago. As much as I like my original design(see above), it's a little bleh and just lacks on color. But now I need a little help figuring which new blog header is just right. Take a look at the screen shots below and help me decide. The differences between the 3 choices is minimal but I believe it is the little things that count.
I'm leaning towards #3 for some reason.What do you think?

The Foothills Rails-to Trails coalition of Buckley, Washington working in conjunction with Pierce County, had been seeking a link to connect the north and south sides of the Foothills Trail to replace the original railroad trestle that had been removed some years prior. The result is this stunning Arched Bridge that Western Wood Structures designed, fabricated, and installed.
The use of 3D modeling made possible for the bridge components to be fully fabricated prior to pressure treatment which in turn allowed Western Wood crews to complete the complex installation in less than two months. The overall length of the 3-span bridge is nearly 400 feet including approach spans and when complete the trail will measure more than 28 miles in length.
The use of pressure treated Douglas Fir Glulam as a bridge material perfectly complements the natural beauty of the wooded site.

What to Know Before You Start Running
If you've decided that you want to start making an effort to run and commit to including this in your week as part of your workout plan, there are a few things to know before you get started.
Preparing yourself to run is vital to success as this will ensure that you are going to get started pain-free and with the best experience possible.
Let's look at a few quick tips to know and remember.
Get Proper Footwear
First and foremost, it's vital that you are getting proper footwear to use on your runs. Don't use the old pair of running shoes you've had for as long as you can remember. Keep in mind that running shoes do wear out and if you want to stay pain-free, you need to have the proper level of cushioning your body is going to require.
A good pair of running shoes is easily the most vital investment that you could make.
Start With a Walk-Run
Next, always consider starting with a walk-run. Walk for a certain period of time and then add some running intervals into the mix. This is a great way to ease into it and train your body to handle the running stress load.
Over time, you can then increase the total duration you're running for while decreasing the walking intervals until you are running the entire time.
Moving along, don't forget to cross train. Cross training is going to be essential to help prevent muscular strength imbalances and for making sure that you avoid overuse injuries.
Add some resistance training into the mix or some other form of cardio training.
If you keep these points in mind, you should be able to get started with your running program and fall in love with this sport, continuing it for years to come.

A tomato trellis is a structure that provides support to tomato plants while they grow. Trellises also hold fruit and foliage off the ground, preventing disease, insect, and water damage. Tomato plants can be a determinate variety, which grows to a specific size, and may not need additional support while growing. Indeterminate varieties are vines that will grow as tall as weather and soil conditions will allow, and these plants need the support of a tomato trellis. Tomato supports come in many ingenious shapes.
At its most basic, a tomato plant can be attached to a wooden or metal stake using twine, twist-ties, commercial plant ties, or old nylon stockings. Tomatoes can also be supported by tomato cages. These supports are usually made of metal and are conical or square, with stakes that are pressed into the ground. A tomato trellis of this kind typically costs $3-$5 US Dollars (USD). The drawbacks are that these cages may not be strong enough to hold large plants, and it can be difficult to harvest or prune the plants inside the wire.
String or twine trellises are usually very inexpensive and can be earth-friendly. A length of twine about six feet (1.8 meters) long is tied loosely to the bottom of a tomato plant stem. The other end of the string can be tied to a post, the edge or a roof, or any other horizontal support. As the plant grows, the vine can be trained to twist around the string, or can be tied to the support at intervals.
A lattice or mesh-type tomato trellis is a good choice for gardeners who plan to grow tomatoes in the same location each year, especially gardeners with a lot of room for tomato crops. Tomato plants can be tied to wooden lattices or to fencing wire. To make a wire fencing lattice, place metal fencing stakes in the ground at eight foot (two meter) intervals, and attach fencing wire across the stakes. The tomato vines will weave through the wire as it grows, allowing easy access to fruit and foliage. While it can be rather expensive, this type of tomato trellis will last for years.
Supporting tomato vines as they grow is one of the keys to raising healthy, productive plants. Gardeners should examine the trellises for signs of wear or damage to the plants. If a crop of tomatoes develops disease, a gardener should clean the reusable tomato trellis with a bleach solution, to avoid the same problem the following year. By trial and error, a gardener can choose the type of trellis that works best in one's garden.
Post 3
@fBoyle-- Just don't get a fan trellis. It will collapse from the weight of the tomatoes as they grow. I'm speaking from experience.
You can make your own with some conduit steel bars and string or twine that will go across both ends. This makes a strong, sturdy trellis for the tomato vines to attach to.
And remember that you need to weave the tomato vines into trellis as they grow. Although the vines will sometimes make their own way through it, you will need to lend a helping hand during the growing phase.
Post 2
@fBoyle-- How many tomato plants do you have in mind?
If this is not going to be an annual thing for you and if you just have a few plants, it's probably not worth investing in a lattice. Simple, wooden stakes and some twine, as the article described, should work just fine. I actually have a good number of tomato plants this year, but I still use stakes and twine.
Some people are more concerned about the outer appearance and want something that's more permanent and decorative. In that case, a lattice is a good idea. You can even make your own trellis if you're handy and creative with wood. But since you're just starting out, start out with something simple and go from there.
Post 1
I want to grow tomatoes this year. Should I invest in a lattice or should I start out with a simpler, more cost effective trellis? What do most people use starting out?
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

VLOG: You Are Always Given What You Need/
This was a most poignant and humbling intention offered to my yoga class on Friday morning after struggling through a challenging couple of weeks. Hearing "You are always given what you need" is exactly what I needed!
In this video I reveal a self-protective pattern of my own that has rarely served me in the past that I recently repeated AGAIN! My stubborn Irish alter ego convinced myself and attempted to convince others that it was "different" this time.
Oh my loves--it's rarely ever different, is it?

You may soon see Google Glass making appearances in ambulances.
MedEx Ambulance Service has acquired two pairs of Google Glass, outfitted with software and connected to the Internet. This will allow paramedics to transmit live video and audio to a doctor in the emergency department directly from the ambulance. The doctor in turn will be able to watch the stream on a tablet or desktop computer.
The wearable tech will give patients in dire situations access to advice, diagnosis, and treatment options directly from physicians.
According to the Chicago Tribune, the cost, at only $1500 a pair, is actually less expensive than many videoconference solutions that hospitals currently use, which can cost between $10,000 and $40,000. According to Dr. Paul Porter, assistant professor of emergency medicine at Brown University,
"It's a really low-cost way of entering the telemedicine world. I think this is promising technology because it allows physicians to engage with a patient at eye level. There's nothing more discouraging than seeing a physician looking at his computer typing while trying to talk to you."
Dr. Porter is leading Rhode Island Hospital's Google Glass study, and reports that, so far, the technology has functioned with few problems, with the caveat that it hasn't yet been tested under the fast and noisy conditions of a real time emergency ambulance situation. That can be a big problem, because blurry images or dropped signals can literally mean life or death.
Even after Glass is brought up to functional requirements, it still must pass the tough security requirements that a hospital needs to stay compliant with government regulations.
Illinois Masonic, another facility taking part in the MedEx test, had to have Glass cleared by the hospital's legal department before use. Any software, even that on Glass, that sends patient information to a healthcare provider much meet HIPAA standards. Out of the box, Glass does not.

Travelling is one of the biggest pleasures of life and you remember you do not have to deny yourself even if you're in student loan debt, credit card debt or mortgage loan. Till the time you're perfectly meeting your obligations, you can carve out enough space and make budget to include a mini vacation option, even if it is just in your own state.
But, the major question is whether you should travel while you're in debt or not? Well, people have argues both ways. However, the decision is complicated and probably differs from one person to another. There are financial experts that suggest that you shouldn't ever travel till you're completely debt free or have at least cleared out your highest interest debt. But, as you know, human beings are emotional and possibly disagree to it.
Pros of Vacationing:
• Well, when you go out, you rejuvenate yourself and prepare yourself to get rid of this burden with a fresh start. It gives you a new hope of living a happy and content life again and boosts you with positivity.
• Travelling adds to your experience and provides you with amazing ideas that you do not get while you're sitting in your house.
• Travelling motivates you to save more and helps you learn how to live a budget friendly life.
• You can get this once in a life time experience by going for an affordable vacation too. You can stretch your stay, reside in a mid-scale motel, eat locally and use travel hacks for transmitting and enjoy the best of your vacation.
• If you're a lavish spender and you do not have control over your hands, then you may end up in severe debt and eventually bankruptcy if you travel in debt.
• You need to learn how to use your credit card while you're travelling to prevent any further credit card debt. If you have credit card debt from before, then it is advisable that you go for credit card debt consolidation loan and end it as soon as possible.
• You cannot stop living to pay out your debt. However, you need to act smart and spend according to your budget.
It is good to travel temporarily rather than wait for years to get debt free and then move out. You surely need peace of mind and some amazing time for yourself. Debt gives you stress while travelling makes you stress free.
In the end, it is you who has to measure the pros and cons of travelling in debt and choose what is perfect for you and your family. You do not have a correct decision in this condition. All that matters is your desire to continue to clear out your debt and not get derailed. All you need to do is make a balance between your debt clearance and tour expenses. And, eventually you can travel around the world and save enough to clear your debt too. You can also take help from debt counselor to seek suggestions and guidance

THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO, May 22, 2014 (Marketwired via COMTEX) — Press Release Highlights:
— Mega's 2014 drill program continues to define near surface high grade
gold and gold/tungsten structures within a broader gold mineralized zone
and multiple occurrences of visible gold ("VG").
— TL-14-526 intersects 61m of 3.44 g/t gold including 6.64 g/t gold
over 30m
— TL-14-518 intersects 52m of 1.34 g/t gold equivalent including 1.98
g/t gold over 31m plus 1.17% WO3 over 3.0m
— TL-14-516 intersects 18.5m of 1.81 g/t gold including 2.71 g/t gold
over 11.85m
— TL-14-520 intersects 25m of 1.00 g/t gold including 1.40 g/t gold
over 15m
— Additional gold and tungsten assays are pending from the ongoing 2014
OCAP and drill program
Mega Precious Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE: MGP) ("Mega") is pleased to announce an additional six (6) holes from its 29 hole, 4,784 m winter drill program on its 100% owned high grade gold and tungsten Monument Bay Project, located in Manitoba.
Prior to this year's 2014 drill program, limited drilling had taken place in the top 100 m of the porphyritic dyke host rock and associated shear zones at the Twin Lakes Deposit. The results are especially significant because of the width of near surface high grade mineralization, up to 30m in true thickness, and Mega's ability to continue to intersect continuous gold and gold/tungsten mineralization within a broader gold mineralized zone all within the upper 50 m of the deposit.
The results from TL-14-526 are among the highest gold intercepts with multiple occurrences of visible gold (VG) in the Twin Lakes Deposit. Drilling continues to demonstrate that appreciable high grade mineralization occurs within 25m of surface along the eastern edge of the proposed starter pit. Holes TL-14-513, TL-14-516, TL-14-518 to TL-14-520 were focused on converting near surface inferred low grade or waste material into considerable grade potential within the eastern/central portions of the current proposed pit shell. The current Monument Bay open-pittable resource covers a strike length of 8 kms with limited deep drilling.
Glen Kuntz, P.Geo, President and CEO, stated, "The 2014 drill program has definitively confirmed that there are multiple continuous high grade gold and gold tungsten mineralized horizons within the deposit. These horizons are providing further confidence in our geological model, our ability to continue to building resources and to realize the full potential of the Monument Bay Project.
The continuity of these intercepts along with previously reported gold and tungsten results are located in continuous shear zones that flank the broad QFP dike which hosts the majority of the gold and tungsten mineralization and suggest the potential for an economic Tungsten by-product credit due to the consistent nature of the gold and tungsten association throughout the Monument Bay Project. Mega's decision to focus its efforts on near surface resource expansion, above 150 meters, has further strengthened the geological model and continues to added significant value for our shareholders."

not determined the economic cut-off grade for and metallurgical recoveries
Down-hole thickness, true width varies depending on drill hole dip; most
2014 drill holes are intersecting the vein structures perpendicularly
therefore down hole width are close to true width
More than 12,000 m of new drilling (2013/2014) and over 8,000m of historical core from 64 drill holes of the OCAP program has yet to be incorporated into a new resource. Mega expects to provide an updated NI 43-101 resource during Q2/Q3 of 2014 which will encompass gold, tungsten and the results from the metallurgical testing program currently in progress. The Company has limited deep drilling at Monument Bay which is located in an Abitibi style Green Stone Belt and has the same style of gold and tungsten mineralization as the Hollinger Mine in the Timmins Camp. These types of deposits are known to extend beyond 2,000 m.
To date, all of the holes assayed for gold and tungsten have collectively increased the overall gold equivalent grade by a weighted average of approximately 30% when compared to the gold only results. As a point of reference, current Tungsten only mines have resource grades between 0.09 and 1.1% Tungsten with the average being approx. 0.49% Tungsten http://www.itia.info/minerals-deposits.html.

Theatrical Anecdotes
Temporarily Out of Stock Online
The tradition of telling theatrical anecdotes extends back in time almost as far as the theater itself. For much of its 2,500-year history, the stage has housed real characters and real stories as fascinating as any created by a dramatist. Ranging from the age of Aristophanes to the time of Tennessee Williams, this book offers a motherlode of tales about backstage rivalries, thespian eccentricity, the parsimony of producers, and indignities suffered on tour.
We encounter Judith Anderson's unique method of working herself into a frenzy for her first entrance in Medea, deliberately provoking her co-star and arch-enemy, Florence Reed. We come across Oscar Wilde's own assessment of the first performance of Lady Windermere's Fan ("The play was a great success, but the audience was a total failure"). And we learn of Shakespeare's wild oats and why Molière's grave had to be dug an extra four feet deep. These delightfully overflowing pages present David Garrick, Sarah Bernhardt, Noël Coward, Donald Wolfit, Laurence Olivier, Sir John Gielgud, Helen Hayes, and a cast of hundreds, along with directors, producers, critics, prompters, prop men, designers, and ghosts. Although the book brims with the glittering and the glamorous, Peter Hay does not neglect those legions of near-anonymous players and professionals, without whom the stars would not be stars and the theater could not exist.
Organized by topic, this richly entertaining and wonderfully edifying volume contains hundreds of tips for all theatrical professionals, directs scholars and students to a wealth of historical sources, and treats all lovers of theater to a feast of backstage secrets that will permanently enrich their appreciation of the art.

In the next few months, we will be making my first big car purchase since working out of college. My husband and I are in financially sound and do not plan on having children for a few years. We do currently have an everyday car (mine) and truck (my husbands). I am stuck between two vehicles. Chevrolet Corvette or an SUV.
The corvette is my dream car. I grew up with vettes and some of my best memories of my dad were in his corvette. I was going to consider one down the line but we are in a place to afford one and getting one now will allow us to enjoy it while I'm young.
The SUV is more practical since later down the road we will have kids and it would be able to tow a boat or camper. Although not my dream car, still useful.
If the corvette and SUV weren't so completly opposite from eachother, it wouldn't be such a big decision. So what would you choose and why?

We dare say that Keat Lin is the most popular vegetarian eatery in Ang Mo Kio. We always find many patrons ordering and waiting for its food especially during lunch and dinner. Kiat Lin specialises in Zi Char dishes such as Fried Rice and Ala Cart dishes. Like the Divine Realms in Hougang, Keat Lin owes its popularity to its restaurant quality dishes at a cheaper price range.
During our first visit, we enthusiastically make our way to Keat Lin to beat the crowd before lunch. We find the stall open, but not ready to serve dishes till 12pm. When we come back at 11.45am, there is already several customers waiting at the tables for their orders.
Zi Char Dishes
If you are alone, the best value meals will be the Zi Char dishes and set meals. Priced between $3.50 to $4.50, the dish will be sufficient to ease your hunger. We prefer these set meals as it comes with Keat Lin's great culinary skills. For example, we can order mock fish in sweet and sour or sambal sauce. We recommend that first-timers try the sweet and sour pork rice. You can order a plate of vegetables to complement the meal.
Ala Cart Dishes
We absolutely love the spicy dishes from Keat Lin, especially the Kung Pao Abalone mushroom. Keat Lin cooks the fried mushroom with small chilli and curry leaf instead of the usual dry chilli. The sauce of the vegetarian chilli fish is also quite good.
On the other hand, the Yam Ring is disappointing. We felt the chef cook the Yam Ring rather hastily. It also does not have much gravy. As for the Broccoli with mock scallop, the scallop is just typical mock meat with a bland taste.
Keat Lin offers a variety of dishes for vegetarians living in the North and craving for restaurant quality food at a reasonable price. Kiat Lin really excels in its spicy dishes. We advise that readers stick to simple vegetable dishes like Luo Han Zhai (vegetables) and stay away from the expensive Yam Ring.
We walk to Kiat Lin from Ang Mo Kio MRT.

Euston Hut, London
I recently came across a group of 50 magic lantern slides (in my own collection!) relating to YMCA wartime 'huts'. This meant nothing to me but the photos were very interesting and, with a little bit of research on the internet, I discovered that during the First World War, the YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) opened hundreds of recreation huts, here and abroad, that were a home-from-home for British and Allied, off-duty soldiers and sailors. They could relax, eat, play games and some huts provided medical care and put on concerts. Many were close to the front line, so the volunteers who manned them knowingly put themselves in danger. This may have been a Christian missionary activity for the YMCA but for the young men who used them, the huts were probably oases of normality in the horrific world they found themselves in.
It's an interesting example of how images on magic lantern slides can shine a light on a previously unknown (to me) part of our history.

Acrylic on gessobord, 12 x 16"
2013, painting #214
This is a gallery commission piece. The client is a collector of both Crown and Ball Mason jars, so this was the main requirement. I was pretty given much given carte blanche as far as the composition goes. As a still-life painter, objects often present themselves in daily life. If I have a visceral response to them, I will just buy them on impulse because one day these will serve as my muses to inspire an imagery worth considering. I have been holding on to these Kool-Aid packs since 2007. The teal tinted Ball Mason jar on the left and the hand- made paper drinking straws were both purchased on Etsy in 2011 from different vendors from Florida, the sunshine state. Last fall, I was lucky enough to acquire these Crown Mason jars from a local seller on Kijiji. These are in mint condition, so I was truly surprise to see the year 1948 on the bottom.
Kool-Aid was invented by Edwin Perkins. All of his experiments took place in his mother's kitchen. Its predecessor was a liquid concentrate called Fruit Smack.To reduce shipping costs, in 1927, Perkins discovered a way to remove the liquid from Fruit Smack, leaving only a powder. Perkins moved his production to Chicago in 1931 and Kool-Aid was sold to General Foods in 1953. Hasting, Nebraska, the town where the fruity thirst quencher was invented still celebrates a yearly summer festival called "Kool-Aid Days" on the second weekend in August. The title is in homage of it's inventor.
I remember as a child that we use to buy individual packages like these at 6¢ each from a nearby corner store. On hot summer days, we'd go swimming at the beach and upon returning a pitcher was soon empty with three kids going for refills. Check out this classic 1970's commercial - HERE.

One hunter found out karma can be a powerful thing, after trying to poach for elephant tusks.
Ian Gibson was hunting the elephants in Zimbabwe, and things ended in the worst possible way for him.
The 55-year-old saw the baby elephant he was trying to kill crush him, but tragically, the elephant died as he had already been shot.
Gibson's funeral is being paid for by the Dallas Safari Club, who he was hunting with, but it's hardly much consolation for the poor baby elephant he killed.
Obviously his profession was controversial to say the least, and it's fair to say there were a few people who weren't too sad about his death, and of course they took to Twitter.
Brilliant. Some cunt who killed things for fun got killed by something he was planning on killing. https://t.co/nqMYcL47N7

They are an extraordinary company of disabled and non-disabled young performers. Their latest show 'Becoming' is about identity and the reality of growing up. They tell the stories of how it feels to be them, the story of their journeys, how they started and who they are becoming...it is the stories that they want to tell.
"Everybody should have equal opportunities to train, perform and develop their skills because together we can change the world." - Diverse City
Many young people never get the chance to explore their talent or to find an audience, so Diverse City's company Extraordinary Bodies Young Artists are changing all that. They bring together disabled and non disabled young people to learn together and make shows that change how people think about them.

Set Design
Katie Thomas previously worked with Diverse City and Extraordinary Bodies Young Artists on a performance set design project. Katie designed and managed the build of the set, ensuring it was suitable for disabled and non-disabled performers. The set was designed in a modular fashion to ensure it could be taken down and reassembled elsewhere.

Fixing cabinet veneer that's beginning to lift
Q: Our kitchen cabinets (about 6 or 7 years old) are solid wood, as are all the internal structures. But the end panels are veneered, and on the front edges the veneer is lifting from the solid wood base. The lift goes back from a half-inch to an inch. They could be clamped by removing the adjacent cabinet door. What do you suggest?
A: For a veneer to lift after six or seven years indicates that a lot of water was used during repeated cleaning. Call the installer to see if he can make repairs.
You can reglue the panels by lifting the veneer and inserting carpenter's glue, then clamping. It might be tricky to clamp, but I suggest you put a narrow board on each side of the veneer for C-clamps to press evenly. Be sure to put waxed paper between the veneer and the boards to prevent any seeping glue from holding things together where it shouldn't.
Q: I'm writing to you with the hope that you can help me figure out, specifically, how to separate the two knobs of a number of locks in my house. I'm in the process of painting the interior of my house and I want to remove the knobs to clean them up (they've been painted around several times) and make painting easier. To date, no one (two locksmith shops, four locksmiths, and a hardware store) has been able to figure it out.
A: It's rare to find seven or more professionals to be stumped by an old lock set or latch set. I have several that attach by screws through the bell of the knob, but no middle shaft. I think your best bet is to call the EZ Set company to see if they are in business and know what to tell you. Also, since you already took one of the sets out of the door, why not clean them as they are? But be careful; I think the brass has a coating on it that keeps it to a high polish.
Q: I live on a third-floor condo. It takes several minutes for hot water to reach the taps in my unit. Is there any way to speed that up?
A: Call your plumber to see if he can install a water-saving device or get in touch with the manufacturer, ACT, Inc. Metlund Systems.
Q: My new addition, which is well insulated top, bottom, and sides, and has many windows, was very cold this winter. How can I make it comfortable?
A: If you have gas in the house, and it is inadequate, install a gas-fired fireplace. It will heat that addition well. It might also be wise to remove some of those heat-sink windows.
