The President's town hall begins at 11:45 p.m. EST on November 15. Be sure to tune in at Whitehouse.gov/live.Updated: Watch the President's town hall with Chinese youth on Whitehouse.gov.
President Obama will have a town hall meeting with Chinese youth in Shanghai, China. The event is planned to start Monday, November 16 at 12:45 p.m. local time in Shanghai, which means late Sunday night in Washington, DC at 11:45 p.m. EST.
The online community in China has been submitting questions on a variety of websites, including the U.S. Embassy in Beijing's website, Xinhuanet and Sohu.
Holding the event in Shanghai is symbolic as the Shanghai Communique was announced there and helped pave the way for normalization and the first 30 years of formal diplomatic relations.
The Town Hall will be livestreamed on Whitehouse.gov/live. You can also join the conversation on the official White House page on Facebook or Embassy Beijing's website to view and participate in a live discussion during the event.

Town Hall or Echo Chamber?
Given the strong ideologic hold that the Chinese leadership maintains at the highest levels; and the U.S. indebtedness to China, will we see more quid-pro-quo on Human Rights for economic debt relief?

To Secretary of State Honorable Hillary R Clinton,
The United States of America finally has a spoken Secretary of State, me-lady. You-go-maam, you do your magic, Mrs. Clinton, you are doing a very good job. You finally have job that is you, you maam are setting new standards for your position, I'm very proud of you.
Thank you

Beaucoup Chapeaux fans the flame of love with Valentine's show
February 7, 2013
The Nevada City Classic Café will celebrate Valentine's Day in a charmingly romantic fashion next week with its signature French bistro night. It was on Valentine's Day four years ago that Classic owner Genevieve Crouzet decided to take her breakfast and lunch café and open it up for one evening every week.
On Friday nights, Crouzet wanted to transform the quaint cafe into a French Bistro, featuring tapas, wine and music. She had the menu and knew she wanted accordion music reminiscent of Paris from the 1920s to the 1950s. But one stumbling block — she couldn't find any musicians locally who had the sort of repertoire she desired.
Then one fall morning at the Nevada City Farmer's Market, she heard the lilting melody of a French musette being played on an accordion and, following the music, met accordionist Maggie McKaig.
The rest, as they say, is history. Friday evenings at the Classic Café with Maggie's Beaucoup Chapeaux quartet playing most of those nights, have added an eclectic European atmosphere to Nevada City. The Nevada City Classic Café and Beaucoup Chapeaux will partner again from 6 to 9 p.m. for Valentine's Day, Feb. 14. Along with the Classic's regular fare, there will be food specials.
And romance, but of course!
The Classic Café is located at 216 Broad St. in Nevada City. For information call 530-265-9440.

Messy Voluminous Bob
We don't quite often see messy and wavy bobs because htey are hard to maintain and most women actually give up when their hair reaches this length here is a great example of a beautiful short bob that still looks amazing even though it's not combed or flattened with a flat iron. Sometimes going with a cute and casual look is just that change that we all need as a women. So ladies dare a little and go short but not too short and ruff it up :)

Despite of criticism from the owners of the online content stores, Blu-ray seems to be gaining the momentum. A substantial amount of households in the U.S. already own a Blu-ray device and it looks like there are a lot more potential customers incoming.
Worldwide Blu-ray player shipments are expected to more than double between 2009 and the end of 2010, and the numbers from ABI Research forecast continued growth next year, for a total of more than 62.5 million shipments in 2011. The number is still incomparable to the DVD format, which reached its peak with 141.2 million of DVD players and recorders sold in 2006 (according to In-Stat market tracking company).
In North America standalone Blu-ray players are expected to reach almost 18% penetration among TV-owning households, up from just over 7% in 2009.
"As interesting as this estimate is, it is just part of a larger picture. The solid growth in Blu-ray player shipments highlights a trend within the wider consumer electronics market. Larger, fixed-location devices such as Blu-ray players and flat panel TVs are enjoying rapid adoption relative to many classes of small, portable devices. [...] In addition to price declines, the greater growth potential of TV-centric devices may be due to some of the recent exciting innovations in TV technologies: larger, flatter panels, Internet connectivity, and stereo-3D," said industry analyst Mike Inouye.
ABI Research believes that CE device vendors can improve their chances of success in this very competitive marketplace by, on one hand, continuing efforts to educate consumers about what they can do with the latest devices, and on the other by striving to keep the user-experience as seamless and painless as possible.

|Exams [Top]
I will give two in-class term
examinations and one final exam. Each exam consists of thirty five
multiple-choice questions and two essay
questions. You will need a scantron form 882 to answer the multiple-choice
questions; I will provide you with paper for the identification and essay
questions. Examination material will be drawn from the textbook reading, any
other assigned readings, and class lectures and discussion. Emphasis will be
placed on the conceptual understanding of the material and NOT on memory
alone. Understanding the application of the concepts will greatly enhance your
No make-up examination will be given without the prior approval of the instructor. If you fail to take the exam, without valid documentation, I will prepare a different exam which you will take at 75% of its grade value.
|Homework Assignments
|The purpose of the homework assignment is to encourage further practice for the topics covered in our book but not covered in class (due to time constraints) and to give you the opportunity to work on more comprehensive exercises than those covered in the book. I will provide with each team, a comprehensive set of assignment exercises. More information about the homework can be found in my assignments.htm web page
Final grades will be assigned according to the total points you have obtained through exams and homework assignments relative to the total possible number of points.
Your grade is also affected by the number of unexcused absences. You are allowed to have 5 unexcused absences. For each absence after your allowance, 5 points will be deducted. Note that absences are only excused for a valid reasons (health problems, jury duty etc) and MUST be accompanied with documentation (i.e., health center note with a phone number to call for questions) provided within a week of returning to class.
Pluses and minuses will be awarded along the extremities (i.e., greater than 3% below the upper limit and less than 3% of the lower limit, respectively).
Based on the total points, your grades will be assigned as follows:
Any queries or appeals for a graded component (such as an assignment or an exam) must be directed to the instructor in person within 2 weeks after the graded component is returned. No adjustment will be made for the scores of graded components after the two-week period. Students are responsible for keeping track of their graded components. Uncollected graded components will be kept in the instructor's office until the end of the current semester.
Grading system may change for compelling reasons.
Academic Dishonesty
Unfortunately, the subject of academic dishonestly must be discussed for those who are inclined toward such activities. The university's policy is discussed in the following paragraphs. Please, there is no need to engage in any unethical behavior in this class! If you need help, my door is always open.
Academic dishonesty involves acts which may subvert or compromise the integrity of the educational process of the university. Included is any act by which a student gains or attempts to gain an academic advantage for him/herself, or another, by misrepresenting his/her, or another's work or by interfering with the completion, submission, or evaluation of work. These include, but are not limited to, accomplishing or attempting any of the following acts:
Violations of proper ethical conduct will NOT be tolerated. A failing semester grade will be assigned to all involved parties (NO exceptions). Severe cases of academic dishonesty will be handled at the university level.
If you are aware of any academic dishonesty, please notify me either personally (your identity will remain confidential) or anonymously. Cheating devalues everyone's grade and degree, including your own.

DJ Soulscape is a wildly impressive Korean DJ and producer based out of Seoul. Deeply influenced by 80s hip-hop, his parents' extensive collection of soul vinyl, and his engineering background, the musician is a culmination of diversity and contrast. Soulscape composes and arranges electronic symphonies reminiscent of K-pop, yet innovative in style and genre. The artist has been praised for his side project 360 Sound, a party series founded in 2005, that curates regular performances by influential Korean DJs.
For those who might not be so familiar with your work, could you briefly tell us a little bit about yourself?
DJ Soulscape: Sure, I go by the name DJ Soulscape, although my real name is Park Min Joon. I'm currently working as a DJ and a producer.
How did you get started in the music industry?
Well, growing up, I used to collect various records as a hobby. And my parents would play those records at home. As they were great fans of the Motown and soul genres, I got exposed to those kinds of music at a very young age. So it was through my parents' influence that got me collecting various records, and in high school I bought a turntable and got myself into DJ-ing.
I understand you studied something completely different though.
Well, a lot of DJ's have a background in engineering, like myself. I studied studio engineering at school and it does have a lot of relevance to what I do now. Having studied that actually helps me out a lot in terms of running my studio.
What kind of music most influences the music you produce?
The most influential music for me, when I began DJ-ing, was the hip-hop that came out in the mid-80's. The kind of music that I listened to growing up was mostly soul, and I grew up listening to artists like Barry White and Smokey Robinson, who were very huge in Korea at the time. James Brown was also one of my favorite artists when I was a child.
Can you tell us a bit about 360 Sound?
It's a party project that was started in 2005 by a bunch of us DJ's who have been friends for more than 10 years. We are the generation that grew up with great influence of hip-hop and subcultures, but there weren't any parties that allowed young people to enjoy various kinds of music at the time. So we came up with an idea of starting one where young people like us can come and enjoy and form a small circle of friends. In 2005, me, DJ Jinmo, and Plastic Kid finally put our plans together and launched it. It began with a small block party.
And now it's this massive thing! Who all is involved these days?
Besides the three of us who started it, two more DJ's have joined. Because everything—from development and advertising to video and music contents—is planned and organized by ourselves, we each have different roles and responsibilities to keep the project going. For example, Jinmo is in charge of art directions, designs, and posters, while others work on promotion and video production and editing. Some friends who are in the entertainment scene--like dancers and skaters--all help us out with what they specialize in.
What do you think is the state of contemporary Korean music?
I think the flow of traditionally Korean pop somehow got disconnected in the mid-80's. And now the trend is to bring back the music that had been flowing before then and renovate it to fit the tastes of today's generation. As a musician myself, that is also part of my goal: to let people relive the music scenes from the past.
Any predictions for the future of Korean music?
I understand that people like to follow trends and that's why similar types of music can be heard all the time, but the problem we face now is that due to many countries and cultures being globalized--through the internet and media--we are losing the genuine and unique identity that each of our cultures represent. The sense of locality is disappearing. I cannot predict what will really happen in the Korean music industry after 20 years, but luckily we still have musicians who are striving to bring back the original Korean sounds to modern K-pop.

Too much bullying
To the Editor:
The recent increase in the amount of bullying in schools has me concerned for our future. I have read many stories and heard news excerpts of children, young children, committing suicide due to the severity of the bullying they are enduring.
Even though schools are stating that they take care of bullying, there are still many forms and cases of bullying that are being set on the back burner in order to deal with "greater" problems.
This is an important issue to address because these children are our future. The bullying they are enduring affects them physically as well as mentally. Having mentally stable children is the key to a better future.
The lack of support in our school systems has led a kindergartener very close to me to switch school districts due to the bullying he is enduring. The school system failed to address this case of bullying, which led to this young boy seeing a psychologist and switching districts. This reflects poorly on the school system; however, it is not strictly the school district's fault. The family life also plays a large part in the actions and reactions of children. I believe that family time and families instilling morals within these children would help lessen the amount of bullying occurring in schools.
In addition to keeping family time a high priority, I believe it is the school district's job to enforce the bullying rules they have in place. Implementing these solutions could save a child's life.

Cruisin' for a dream car
NEW ULM – A record number of sports cars, muscle cars and every other kind of show-off car flooded into New Ulm on Sunday for the 13th annual Autofest Car and Cycle Show.
Autofest, which is held on South Broadway in the parking lots of Maday Motors and Joe's Campers, officials estimated that more than 375 cars were exhibited this year, with the previous high mark being just above 300 cars. Officials also estimated attendance closer to 2,000 people, which is nearly a record.
Many Autofest visitors marveled at the vehicles that glistened in the late June sunshine. The vehicles brought memories of their youth and the car they wished they could have driven then.
Sunny weather kept moderate temperatures throughout the day and surely contributed to drawing the crowds.
In addition to the cars of their dreams, Autofest goers could browse booths offering related memorabilia or similar crafts that were set up near the vehicle displays.
The exhibited vehicles ran the range from sports cars to souped-up muscle cars to classics '50s cars.
The new phenomenon of "rat rods," which are custom cars made from salvaged parts of intentionally rusty 1940s and 1950s vehicles, made a big splash. Some of the custom designs featured spider web patterns made from steel bars on their roofs and radiators. Spikes on the bumpers gave the cars the appearance of having teeth.
Officials hope that 2013 Autofest's success will signal higher turnout in coming years.

Neither do you want to be driving on the "opposite" side of the road while you follow maps and miss some of the scenery that you came a long way to see. Wouldn't it be great if some one else did the driving and you decided on the schedule for the day. Well that is possible when you take a personalised tour with Ireland West Tours.

Continuing my coverage of the 30th annual [Data Center Conference]. Here is a recap of the Monday afternoon sessions:
- IBM Watson and your Data Center
Steve Sams, IBM VP of Site and Facilities Services, cleverly used IBM Watson as a way to explain how analytics can be used to help manage your data center. Sadly, most of the people at my table missed the connection between IBM Watson and Analytics. How does answering a single trivia question in under three seconds relate to the ongoing operations of a data center? If you were similarly confused, take a peak at my series of IBM Watson blog posts:
- [IBM Watson: What's in that one Terabyte?]
- [IBM Watson: Tucson Watch Event]
- [IBM Watson: Business Intelligence, Data Retrieval and Text Mining]
- [IBM Watson: How to build your own Watson Jr. in your Basement]
- Devising a Cloud Computing Strategy
The analyst who presented this topic was probably the fastest-speaking Texan I have met. He covered various aspects of Cloud Computing that people need to consider. Why hasn't Cloud taken off sooner? The analyst feels that Cloud Computing wasn't ready for us, and we weren't ready for Cloud Computing. The fundamentals of Cloud Computing have not changed, but we as a society have. Now that many end users are comfortable consuming public cloud resources, from Facebook to Twitter to Gmail, they are beginning to ask for similar from their corporate IT.
- Legal issues - see this hour-long video, [Cloud Law & Order], which discusses legal issues related to Cloud Computing.
- Employee staffing - need to re-tool and re-train IT employees to start thinking of their IT as a service provider internally.
- Hybrid Cloud - rather than struggle choosing between private and public cloud methodologies, consider a combination of both.
- University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) Cracks Code on Data Growth
Often times, the hour is split, 30 minutes of the sponsor talking about various products, followed by 30 minutes of the client giving a user experience. Instead, I decided to let the client speak for 45 minutes, and then I moderated the Q&A for the remaining 15 minutes. This revised format seemed to be well-received!
University of Rochester is in New York, about 60 miles east of Buffalo, and 90 miles from Toronto across Lake Ontario. Six years ago, Rick Haverty joined URMC as the Director of Infrastructure services, managing 130 of the 300 IT personnel at the Medical Center. I met Rick back in May, when he presented at the IBM [Storage Innovation Executive Summit] in New York City.
URMC has DS8000, DS5000, XIV, SONAS, Storwize V7000 and is in the process of deploying Storwize V7000 Unified. He presented how he has used these for continuous operations and high availability, while controlling storage growth and costs.
The Q&A was lively, focusing on how his team manages 1PB of disk storage with just four storage administrators, his choice of a "Vendor Neutral Archive" (VNA), and his experiences with integration.
This was a great afternoon, and I was glad to get all my speaking gigs done early in the week. I would like to thank Rick Haverty of URMC for doing a great job presenting this afternoon!

Letter to the Editor: Citizen Involvement Healthy for Communities
By CARL AND SUSAN LABBEE
Dear Editor, We were recently referred to the Attorney Generals Office, and in speaking with them, they made some thought provoking comments we would like to share with our community. One comment they made was that "Good citizen involvement creates good government." They also stated that the citizens are the ones that over see their own city government. There are no government agencies that hold the city accountable other than its citizens, this is why it is so important to become involved and knowledgeable in your city government the responsibility lies with its citizens. This is why we as citizens are more committed now than ever before to keep coming to meetings and becoming more involved and educated about our city government, codes, state and local laws, and learning better ways to communicate with our city officials. We will continue to request minutes and documents, so we can review and research. We will ask questions on things we do not understand or have the same opinion as our city officials do. We want our citizens to know that the city is required to maintain open access to all minutes, records, and also the Orangeville Development Code Book. The book costing approximately $20 can be purchase at city hall. Even those things that you might have interest in that happened years ago you still can have access to them. Just call or drop in and ask the city recorder or city treasurer for the minutes you would like to view and copies should be available for a minimal fee. We would like the Orangeville City Government to work with us and appreciate citizen involvement as individuals and as a group. We want an open, free government working for all of us who live in Orangeville. Please know that our purpose is clear, and that we are committed in our citizen participation. We expect fairness and equality,. To those who have been asked or invited to leave Orangeville by our previous mayor, please we ask you to come and join us as concerned citizens to encourage our city government to represent the needs of the people. There is always room for improvement. We need your knowledge and input. You are important and valuable to us. Without new people, new ideas, and changes, progression comes slowly. To those who have been hurt or are discouraged and want to learn more, please come and join us at our planning and zoning meetings, which are held monthly at Orangeville City Hall, and also join us at Orangeville City Council which will he held Nov. 10 at 7 p.m., also at Orangeville City Hall. We as citizens have many resources and need to stand up for our constitutional rights. We ask our city council and planning and zoning commission to welcome all citizens, new and old. We know that our citizens are one of our most precious assets we have here in Orangeville. Remember, "Good citizen involvement creates good government."

Volunteers set to work on North Country Trail
MARQUETTE – With spring around the corner, members of the Superior Shoreline chapter of the North Country Trail Association are anxiously waiting for the snow to melt in order to get on the trails and get the ball rolling on some much-anticipated projects.
While some updates were elective, Tim Hass, president of the Superior Shoreline Chapter of NCTA said The Duck Lake Fire, which burned more than 21,000 acres in Luce County, prompted some necessary changes.
When asked how much of an impact the fire had on the trails, Hass said they are still witnessing the affects of the natural disaster that occured in May of last year.
"I closed the trail in June and it's still closed officially until we get all the work done. We couldn't risk people going on that section of trail because of falling trees and limbs… even in October, the ash was still so bad that it totally coated your clothing."
The fire closed three miles of trail, starting at the mouth of the Two-Hearted River and onward west.
Trail members have plans in place to put in a new trail, backing the segment up about 40 feet, as Hass felt the original trail was too close to the edge of the dunes.
He noted that another update happening involves the people who adopt sections of the trail. After an inquiry from a church group in Minnesota on the best places to camp along the trails, Hass said they have begun asking those who have adopted a trail segment, who are required to clean their trail section at least once a year, to mark GPS coordinates of any locations they feel would be good places to camp.
Trails markers and signs will also get a makeover this year, after the Forest Service approached Hass about taking inventory of all signage. According to Hass, some signs are almost 25 years old and a few have incorrect information posted on them. The signs were prepared over the fall, painted this winter and will be replaced in the spring.
Perhaps the most exciting update however, is the soon-to-be addition of a half-mile handicap accessible trail section.
Hass recalled the idea forming in his head last fall, while reading a portion of the forestry manual that talks about trails. He began reading more and watching videos about accessible trails. The trail segment will be named after Hass's brother, Donald, who passed away years ago from muscular dystrophy. Donald, who was wheelchair bound from the age of 9, loved the outdoors.
Hass said as soon as the snow is off the ground, they will be able to start the work, which will include leveling the area, widening the trail and dumping a load of dirt at one end to create a more gradual incline. They will also add a parking area on either end of the trail. Hass expects the project to be completed within two to three days.
"If one person with a handicap can go down that trail where they couldn't before, then it's a success," Hass said.
He hopes it will raise awareness to other chapters to make trails inclusionary.
"Everyone should be able to get on the trails," Hass said.
Another trail member from Grand Marais will be revisiting sections of trail as well, to see if she can find any other segments that they could readily make accessible for the handicapped.

iHerb Customer Reviews

Very good
Posted by Reviewer1662056 on Apr 16, 2012
This is a collection of soaked sprouted grains and seeds with apricots. It is very crisp and is actually very good. I use it with coconut milk. It is delicious and very filling. However, it has to be eaten slowly and chewed thoroughly because the ingredients are on the hard side. I haven't tried this, but I think putting liquid over it several minutes before eating might make it easier to eat as it would soften the seeds and grains. I also add a few raisins to the mix. I think dates would also be a good addition. I will buy more but I think I will do a lot of experimenting with it by adding some of the above ingredients plus coconut, walnuts and maybe even some fresh fruit. It is good and filling.
Posted by MichelX on Aug 27, 2012
One of my two favorites of Lydia's cereal. The other is Vanilla Crunch. They are filling and pure. The price is waaaaay better than the other Raw sprouted cereal brand, although that one is tastier, however it has added sweeteners. This is pure and better for dieting or those who prefer unsweetened.
Apricot sun cereal
Posted by lorianna on Aug 28, 2012
Loved it as a snack or with yogurt. Healthy fiber intake, not too sweet as I like. Good fill up in a evening when you have no idea why you're hungry. I'm not sure I'd eat it with milk like regular cereal, but have not tried. Has a sunflower seed in it. Kids did not like it, said it tastes too healthy :)).
Posted by Scottishdave on Aug 08, 2011
My favourite of the Lydia's cereals. All sprouted grains mean i can now digest the seeds and nuts.

I love this cereal and the bits of dates mixed in ... plus, it's low in sugar, high in fiber, and not too high in calories. I stir it into yogurt for breakfast, and I feel great all morning long!

The perplexities of leaf disposal.Posted Friday, November 11, 2011, at 7:41 AM
I have been perplexed, confused, disappointed, you name it when it comes to why leaves are such a problem to municipalities. I have been this way since a town from which my brother was getting his leaves declared them TOXIC WASTE. Toxic waste?
They must have a broad, very broad definition of what toxic waste is and when I read in the paper that Tennessee had changed their rules regarding disposal of leaves, I was braced for the worst. Luckily it was based on open burning, not toxic waste.
Most of us know that leaves are organic and their decomposition gives the forest floor great soil texture and richness. So why do we make it so hard to return that to the soil?
I don't have the article in front of me, but it seems that it was stated that at one time Shelbyville just piled it, let it rot and residents were allowed to pick up what they wanted.
Apparently not enough residents took advantage of this? The pile appeared untouched?
Was it open for anyone, or just city residents? There are a lot of subdivisions in the county that do not have ample fodder for compost piles. Were they encouraged to help themselves?
Were landscaping companies given the same carte blanche to clean out the pile? Who cares if they charge someone for bringing it to them or use it in their business?
Charging commercial accounts requires someone to be there to collect but if you MUST charge, maybe just issue a license, with a yearly fee (to businesses) and police can spot check once in a while. I would think that removal not costing the city anything would be payment enough but...
It is saving the City and residents money by not having to buy bags, the city can fire up their vacuum again, which makes it faster and easier. The city does not have to transport it to a landfill in Murfreesboro, pay fees to dump and it reduces the amount going into the landfill.(go green)
I must be missing some important points here, so please, someone enlighten me. Seriously, not sarcastically, what am I not aware of that makes this a problem?

When we lived in Rutherford County, we would go and load up the bed of the truck with the free mulch that the county offers instead of purchasing it. I don't understand why Bedford County does not do the same. I am sure that there would be plenty of people who would come and load up to put around their property.
I never understood the point of burning leaves. We have neighbors who smoke up the air burning their leaves every week.
We, however, rake them up and let the kids jump and play in them. When we are done, we spread them around so when they decompose they will provide food for our trees and plants.
-- Posted by PrpleHze on Fri, Nov 11, 2011, at 10:19 AM
my neighbor across the street was generous and loaded up the back of his pickup with his backyard leaves, then backed up to my garden to let me spread the good stuff around. Now, with the recent breezes and frosts, the pile doesn't look quite as fluffy as it was. I think I need about 2 more good sized loads then I'll cover it with a tarp and let it cook all winter. I'm looking on the sides of the roads for bags, but not seeing any yet.
-- Posted by craftin_mom on Fri, Nov 11, 2011, at 10:30 AM
We let them kids use their power to mulch/crush the many leaves then them take them off to the woods for nature to do her thing. ( the leaves not grand kids that is)
I have noticed that our shag bark hickory trees did not produce hardly any nuts this year, as apposed to a normal where it is crazy how many nuts there were, and the other tree by our deck the squirrels have cleaned it out already ( no acorn hockey on the deck with the cat this year) Do they go in cycles or do you think it may have been the heat this year? I do not recall them being this sparse before. It makes raking a lot easier ( we have close to a dozen nutty trees in our immediate yard)but it seems very odd.
-- Posted by wonderwhy on Fri, Nov 11, 2011, at 12:19 PM
I use both leaves and grass clippings as mulch. Works for me.
-- Posted by cherokee2 on Fri, Nov 11, 2011, at 2:03 PM
wonderwhy, first I am glad your grand kids are safe. :-)
Several things have grown strangely this year. Not sure about hickory but I will check with our squirrels and ask around.
I used to have a "reputation" in my neighborhood when I lived in Mississippi for driving around collecting grass and leaves. Somewhere in the archives my wife has a picture of me almost disappearing into a pile. It was above my head.
I still can't get enough grass (the lawn type), but I am a little more choosy about that stuff. If the lawn looks immaculate, I usually leave the bags alone.
Something is just not natural about a lawn without weeds or dandelions. At least that is what I keep telling my wife and I'm sticking to it.
craftin_mom, I am bringing the tops of some catnip tonight.

I used to pick up mine near the rail station in Murfreesboro. Not sure if that is the location anymore though. It seems like yesterday but in reality it has been about 18 years.
So does anyone have an inside track on why Shelbyville is not doing this?
-- Posted by stevemills on Fri, Nov 11, 2011, at 5:27 PM
In some states, it is illegal to dispose of yard waste in landfills. People are encouraged to compost or take leaves and grass clippings to community compost site.
I would like for the City to consider having a community compost site and even a community garden. I think there are plenty of folks that would even volunteer to work at site and/or garden to get the compost and veggies for labor.
According to EPA 18 to 50 per cent of landfill waste is yard waste.
I agree with Steve- let the Earth replenish itself. Can you recall how many leaves you see in the Spring?
-- Posted by ckna910 on Sun, Nov 13, 2011, at 7:13 AM
Many in our garden club have expressed interest in developing a community/demonstration garden. Just this past Friday in fact.
We were offered a few acres about two years ago, but it did not have water and it was a little farther out than we thought would be good for participation.
I am sure some of us would still like to help with a project like this.
I wonder if anyone from the City would consider getting in on this conversation??? Please??
-- Posted by stevemills on Sun, Nov 13, 2011, at 8:30 AM
I am on Recyling Committee. Meeting this Thurs. I will suggest. Would be nice way to do something with a City-owned vacant lot.
-- Posted by ckna910 on Sun, Nov 13, 2011, at 9:25 AM
I'll chime in to say how I would appreciate being able to get free mulch. Goodness knows my clay soil needs plenty.
-- Posted by jbillswms on Sun, Nov 13, 2011, at 9:09 PM
Steve-How many people in Garden Club? Can you get me a print out of this blog for Thurs. meeting? Can you run a poll question about interest in community compost site?
-- Posted by ckna910 on Mon, Nov 14, 2011, at 5:30 AM
We don't have a formal membership but we are probably up to about 20+. We come to meeting as we can but at least half of these will pull together for a project.
I can put this Blog in a Word Document but I will need your e-mail address. Don't put it here. Send it to email@example.com My e-mail is public enough that it does not matter any more.
Yes, I will start the blog on public composting today, but I don't know if I can put it in poll form here. T-G can, so I will ask them this morning, if I can reach them. I am not sure what their schedule is on Monday.
-- Posted by stevemills on Mon, Nov 14, 2011, at 7:43 AM
I chop my leaves with the lawn mower, and find this to be very effective. I understand it is good for the soil and it is not all that much trouble. It has to be done often or else the leaves will get too thick and push up in front of the mower.

Mustangs corral Cyclones
EAST CHAIN – Granada-Huntley-East Chain freshman center Rachel Shumski scored a game-high 19 points, including a free throw with 25 seconds left, to give the Mustangs girls basketball team a 44-41 Valley Conference Showcase victory over the St. Clair Cyclones on Monday night in East Chain.
Shumski shot 5 of 8 in the second half from the floor, including a jumper in the lane with less than 5 minutes to go to help the Mustangs maintain their lead.
The freshman then sank one free throw during the final minute before her final basket gave the Mustangs a 44-41 lead with 25 seconds remaining and the eventual win.
After the Mustangs trailed 23-22 at halftime, Cyclones' senior guards Kelsey Linnell and Chelsea Schull nailed a pair of 3-pointers to open the half and extend St. Clair's lead to 32-25.
"I thought we played more aggressive defense in the second half on the inside and did a better job of anticipating the pass," said Granada-Huntley-East Chain head coach Rick Uttech. "We tried to trap their shooters to change things up. Hopefully, do a better job on them."
Amanda Cegelske split the pair of Cyclones 3s with her own trifecta from the wing to help the Mustangs stay within single-digit striking distance.
The Mustangs were able to recapture the lead with 9 minutes left in the game.
After a pair of passes were tipped off Cyclone defenders, Cegelske finished back-to-back inbounds plays by rolling to the hoop for layups to take a 37-35 advantage.
Cyclone sharp-shooter Chelsea Schull sank a 3 from the top of the key to bring her team back, making it 43-41 with 1:19 left on the clock.
Linnell, who went 5 of 12 from behind the 3-point line to pace a team-leading 16-point scoring effort, hit a 3-pointer to keep St. Clair close, but eventually fouled out in the final minute.
The Mustangs jumped out to an early lead, thanks to Anna Balcom's eight first-half points, but the Cyclones' outside shooting kept them in the game.
Cegelske swished a jump shot in the lane with 5 minutes remaining in the opening half, making it 21-17 in the home team's favor.
Linnell sank back-to-back 3-pointers to give the Cyclones their first lead of the game at 23-21.
Balcom's eight-point first half effort, along with Cegelske's eight points, added to the Mustangs' offensive attack.
In addition to Linnell's 16-point effort, Schull scored 11 points and Katelyn Weber scored 10 for the Cyclones.
Weber also grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds, while Cegelske led the Mustangs with six boards.

Behind the scenes - Thursday 26th February
Present - Neil, Emma, Lynne
1. Staff Contract
2. Re-organisation of projects that BTS covers
1. Emma created a new staff contract and brought it in for the group to look at. Those present decided the contract was suitable for the Forest staff's needs and decided to adopt it. Emma will e-mail it to Lynne who will post it on the FWG forum.
2. Neil suggested that some of the projects that BTS covers could be removed as they are now dealt with by the admins, or don't exist anymore, i.e., the grants and the shop. The group agreed this was a good idea and have decided to removed the following from BTS remit:
Monthly Grants
Quarterly Grants
Shop Merchandise
BTS will now look after:
All I.T. issues
Volunteer Co-ordination
The group decided that BTS would be a suitable place to discuss all Volunteer Co-ordination and Induction issues. Lynne will communicate this to Hannah.

"A" Coupler - Fits Most German Keg Valves
Description & Highlights
The coupler for enjoying German beers such as Warsteiner, Fischer, Bitburger, Paulaner or Spaten with your Kegerator.
Safe, efficient and simple to operate, it meets all of your performance requirements.
A high-capacity pressure relief valve has been incorporated as an integral part of the coupler body. This serves two purposes: first, when functioning with other relief devices in the system, it will prevent a keg from reaching pressures in excess of recommended working pressure. Secondly, it allows the user to relieve pressure when needing to prevent or correct dispensing problems.
Designed for maximum flow, it can be used for either single or series keg dispensing. Specially designed pressure inlet nipple eliminates the need for a coupling washer when used with standard NADS check valve. Flow of gas is controlled by lever handle; in up position pressure is off, when down it is on.

Being Socially Professional
Hey everyone. In keeping the same direction of my last two blogs, here is one on having a professional personal social online presence. I can NOT stress the importance of this. A lot of articles are written on horror stories of how people have been fired because of a post and or comments they made on social media sights they assumed an employer wasn't paying attention to… THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
Put yourself in the shoes of a person in a recruiting position for a very sensitive opening in which a companies lively hood, image and reputation is on the line. A glimpse into there personal life and /or daily activities is now readily available more so than ever before. It is a no brainier to take a peak in and see if there are exactly who they say they are and match up with there sugar coated resume.
This is a few tips on making your self more appealing and professionally viable using a proper online presence and image.
There's a fine line that you must walk with the information you share with the world via the net.
Nobody likes to admit it, but we unfortunately all judge a book by its cover in some degree. I my self am a staunch example of this. Judging by the picture I have up as my blog profile picture (to the right of your screen) I would never assume the person in it is a professional or would like to be considered as one. The picture you use is your first impression you give to new clients, perspective employees or employers. Having a clean, high resolution picture in a nice out fit is a good standard to keep.
"Coming off as professional is a bit difficult to pull off when your facebook page has pictures of you doing a keg stand", says James S. I definitely agree regardless of how amazingly long the keg stand was.
My parents used to say "show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are". Once again, as in many other times in my life they are correct (unfortunately). Being aware of whom you are friends with on facebook and who you are following on twitter is very important. I really shouldn't have to go into any further detail on this. This is pretty self explanatory. Do not follow
An amazing way to avoid all these issues is privacy control settings most social sites offer. Block unauthorized users from sites you would like to censor and stick with sites such as LinkedIn for professional networking.
For emails, I highly suggest a signature stamp. This will keep a uniformed standard for all emails you send along with the proper contact info. Sites such as wise stamp are great for this. Here, check it out www.wisestamp.com. Google also has some pretty good customizable features. By linking your preferred types of communication you make it very clear where your informational lines are drawn. You can even get fancy and attach video signatures, website links, and much more.
Your email name is also important. I have received some doozies in the hiring process. When sending a resume online a professional email address name is important. It's difficult to take a persons resume seriously when it comes from firstname.lastname@example.com. I usually will discard these with out even looking. It is pretty standard practice to use your last name, company or profession. This keeps it simple and easy to remember, archive, and allocate when someone has an inbox full of activity.

Central African Regional Program for the Environment, United States Agency for International Development, U.S. Department of State
Data Center Description
The USAID Central African Regional Program for the Environment (CARPE)
is a 20-year regional initiative that began in September
1995. CARPE was intended to coordinate work on identifying and establishing the
conditions and practices required to reduce deforestation and loss of
biological diversity in Central Africa. Its U.S.-based partners work with
African NGOs, research and education organizations, government agencies, and
private-sector consultants. Through these partners CARPE has engaged a variety
of African stakeholders in evaluating threats to forests in Central Africa and
identifying opportunities for sustainable forest management.
CARPE began in four countries, the Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea,
Gabon and Republic of Congo. Five other countries were later added: Burundi,
Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, and Sao Tome & Principe.
After seven years of operation, CARPE is shifting its strategic focus and
changing the location of its management functions. In its first phase, CARPE?s
partners have focused on increasing our knowledge of Central African forests
and biodiversity, and building institutional and human resources capacity. In
the next thirteen years, however, CARPE partners aim to apply and implement
sustainable natural resources management practices in the field with an added
emphasis on the US contribution to the CBFP. CARPE will also improve
environmental governance in the region, and strengthen natural resources
monitoring capacity.

Well most know of the story behind "Come and Get It" but for those who don't. Paul was waiting for the other 3 to get into the studio and I guess he got impatient so he had this tune to lay down and in 20 minutes recorded it. Drums, bass, piano, guitar, vocals and gave it to Badfinger who where in the studio at the time.
Said something like, this is a hit if do it exactly like this. So with Paul producing, the did do an almost exact version of it and it did become a hit which led onto it and the album it was on to be the soundtrack of Ringo's movie of the same name, "Magic Christian".
I've got a chezzy Badfinger page I did years ago that is still up:

Trail Racing 101
Frequent Trail Runner contributor and renowned running coach, Jason Karp, PhD., shares his top tips for beginner racers and those looking to move up from 10K to the marathon.
Photo by Glen Delman
Wear the Right Shoes
You wouldn't go to a business meeting in sandals, or to a cocktail party in Nikes, would you? Regardless of how fast (or slow) you are, trail shoes will improve your trail-race experience by providing better traction and protection from rocks. A word of caution: race day is not the best time to switch over to minimalist or "barefoot" trail shoes. Without developing the requisite foot and leg strength, you would be hobbling to the finish line.
Master the Hills
Big or small, hills are inevitable at trail races, so learn to love `em. Drive yourself uphill with an exaggerated arm swing, forward lean from the ankles and strong push off from the ball of your foot. Since hills force you to work harder, steady your effort level rather than worrying about speed. Also, don't hesitate to walk if running is overly taxing.
On downhills, shorten your stride and quicken your cadence. When gravity is tugging you downhill, you have less time to plan foot placements, so look ahead a few steps to anticipate trail obstacles.
Mind the Descent
Even though running uphill feels harder, downhills cause more problems. Its gravity-induced eccentric muscle contractions, during which muscle fibers are forced to lengthen, cause microscopic tears and high-impact breaking forces bring a greater risk of injury. Damaging muscle fibers, however, makes them stronger, protecting them from future damage. While you can expect sore muscles at first, the more you run downhill, the less soreness you'll experience.

|You can drive right to the top of this thing. The challenge is not physical, it is mental. Costa Rican roads are pretty bad, signage is non existant, and there are some rental-car-roadside-assistance robberies to look out for. But the view of the irridecent sewage green lake from the summit on a clear day makes the trip well worth while.

Charlotte Russe
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin
- 1 tablespoon cold water, for softening gelatin
- 1/4 cup milk, room temperature
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon homemade vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Homemade angel food cake or ladyfingers
- 2 tablespoons sweet sherry (don't use cooking sherry)
- 1/2 cup fruit preserves, optional
- 7 large egg whites*
- Fresh berries or cut fruit, for garnish
Soften the gelatin in a bowl with the water. Pour in the milk and completely dissolve the gelatin. Let it sit while you prepare rest of filling, stirring it every now and again to keep gelatin from separating and settling to bottom.
Sweeten 2 cups of the cream with 1 cup of the sugar and beat it with a handheld electric mixer until it is fairly stiff. Add vanilla and fold it in. Stir in dissolved gelatin and gently but thoroughly fold it into whipped cream and set it aside.
Cut cake into ladyfinger-sized pieces, about 1/2-inch thick by 1-inch wide and as long as your mold is deep. Line bottom and sides of a 3-quart mold or bowl with cake, being sure that there are no gaps in it. Hold back enough cake to cover top of mold or bowl. Sprinkle cake with sherry and spread it with a thin layer of jam or fruit preserves, if using.
Beat egg whites to stiff but not dry peaks with a handheld electric mixer, then fold thoroughly into whipped cream and gelatin filling. Spoon filling into cake-lined mold, making sure there are no gaps or air pockets between filling and cake. Press reserved cake on top of filling.
Chill until cream is set, 4 to 6 hours. When you are ready to serve, gently run a knife around edges of mold to make sure that the Charlotte has not stuck to it, then invert onto plate. Carefully lift off mold.
Lightly sweeten remaining 1 cup cream with remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until it is stiff. If you like, you can put it into a pastry bag and pipe it onto the Charlotte, or simply spoon it on, using it to cover any gaps or splits in outer layer of cake. Garnish with fresh fruit.
Contains Raw Eggs: The Food Network Kitchen suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

By Yolanda Smith, BPharm
Paraplegia is a medical condition involving impairment in motor or sensory function of the lower extremities, which is a classification of paralysis, the universal term to describe the loss of movement or sensation following damage to a nerve in the body.
Paraplegia is predominantly the result of a spinal cord injury due to an accident or other trauma. Most common accidents include motor vehicle accidents and falls in those aged over 65.
Spinal injuries aren't always immediately apparent and numbness or paralysis can be delayed or immediate. Additional injury can occur from resultant swelling and bleeding. For this reason, it is important that medical attention is sought out immediately, as the time frame is critical for optimal recovery and assessment.
Additionally, congenital conditions such as spina bifida, where the neural elements of the spinal canal are affected, are also a known cause. Damage can also ensue from tumors or blood clots, however this is less common.
Paraplegia is most prevalent in males as they are assumed to have a greater tendency towards risky behavior.
The extent of function lost due to paraplegia corresponds to the extent of damage to the spinal cord and the area affected. Areas of the spinal cord that result in paraplegia are the thoracic, lumbar or sacral regions.
An injury to the upper thoracic (T1 to T8), which is approximately adjacent to the chest, often results in poor trunk control. This can include impairment in breathing. Damage to the lower thoracic (T9 to T12) allow for good trunk function and posture. Lumbar and sacral damage results in poor function of flexors and hips.
If the arms are also affected by paralysis, quadriplegia is the proper terminology, whereas if only one limb is affected the correct term is monoplegia.
Paraplegia is further categorized into complete or incomplete. Complete paraplegia is absolute damage of the region of the spinal cord. An individual with complete paraplegia may have total sensory and motor function loss. On the other hand, incomplete paraplegia defines partial damage. For example, someone with incomplete paraplegia may have sensory function but no movement, or vice versa.
While some people with paraplegia can walk to a degree, many are dependent on wheelchairs or other supportive measures. Some individuals may also experience pain and muscle spasms at a varying degree.
Impotence and various degrees of urinary and fecal incontinence are very common in those affected. Many use catheters or a bowel management programs (often involving suppositories, enemas, or digital stimulation of the bowels) to address these problems.
With successful bladder and bowel management, paraplegics can prevent the vast majority of accidental urinary or bowel discharges.
If an individual is suspected of having a back or neck injury, they should not be moved from their position and remain still as complications and permanent paralysis can ensue. Contacting emergency medical assistance is recommended.
Given adequate support, equipment and adaptations to the work/ home environment are available; paraplegics are perfectly capable of living productive, fulfilled lives.
There are several foundations and support groups that help paraplegic individuals, including:

NFL.com is doing a feature on the best and worst draft picks for each teams throughout its history, and here's the Jets:
Not much to argue with, but Dewayne Robertson could perhaps have featured.
I was going to post my top ten picks in the last ten seasons, as well as a selection of the worst, but looking over our recent history we've got pretty decent value. There have been a couple notable stinkers - Vernon Gholston and Robertson being the most notable along with Mike Nugent. But otherwise we've drafted quite well. Saying that, in the last couple years the quality has tailed off slightly.
A handful of our first round picks - Vilma, Revis, Mangold, Ferguson, Keller and Wilkerson have all provided above their value. Kyle Wilson may not have lived up to his status as a first rounder, but he has not been terrible, while Sanchez was under centre the two years we got to the AFC Championship game.
But what's most striking is what we've done with mid-late round picks. We've selected four ace kick returners - Justin Miller, Leon Washington, Brad Smith and Joe McKnight, two of whom also added value on offense. Jerricho Cotchery, Sione Pouha, Kerry Rhodes, Erik Coleman, David Harris and Jeremy Kerley have all been above average starters too.
Then we've had good value from others - Victor Hobson was a solid starter before the transition to the 3-4, Shonn Greene was effective, especially during our playoff runs, while Matt Slauson was a 6th rounder well spent. The likes of Drew Coleman, Dwight Lowery and Eric Smith have offered solid depth too.
Two notable players got away from us - Derrick Ward went onto the Giants and formed an impressive one-two-three punch with Bradshaw and Jacobs, while Joel Dreesen has helped the Texans and Broncos at TE after being one of our late round selection. Others disappointed, like second rounders Derrick Strait, Kellen Clemens and Ducasse.
If our scouting can deliver this year - especially in a draft that isn't as top heavy with talent - then hopefully we'll be able to restore a solid core throughout the line-up.

About the Author: Donald E. Booth is the U.S. Ambassador to Ethiopia.
Yesterday, I joined His Excellency Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Ethiopia's Minister of Health, to sign the "Five-Year Partnership Framework in Support of the Ethiopian National Response to HIV/AIDS 2010-2014 between the government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and the government of the United States." The Partnership Framework provides a five-year, joint strategic plan for cooperation among the government of Ethiopia, the U.S. government, and other stakeholders to support a strategic and collaborative response to HIV, while supporting health services for people living with HIV/AIDS. In doing so, it also contributes to the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) global goals for HIV prevention, care and treatment.
The Partnership Framework provides a statement of mutual intention to increase the effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of the national response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Ethiopia. The partnership supports the government of Ethiopia's unique leadership role in coordinating and mainstreaming efforts among many sectors in response to HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia. Central to the Partnership Framework are the goals of providing health and related social services for most-at-risk populations, as well as strengthening arrangements, such as the International Health Partnership (IHP+) and other multilateral and bilateral relationships.
Health diplomacy has been essential to building trust and improving relations between the United States and Ethiopia. PEPFAR is the largest health program in Ethiopia. Since 2004, the U.S. government has contributed over $1.3 billion through PEPFAR to support HIV prevention, care and treatment among infected and affected most-at-risk populations. Although Ethiopia's estimated HIV prevalence of 2.3 percent is lower than many other sub-Saharan countries, there are still more than 1.2 million people living with HIV in the country. Ethiopia has a low-level, generalized epidemic with significant differences between rates of HIV infection between urban and rural areas (7.7 percent and 0.9 percent respectively). Most-at-risk populations are the primary drivers of the epidemic.
The Partnership Framework illustrates the leadership of the government of Ethiopia in addressing its HIV epidemic, as well as its commitment to the broader health needs of its people. Ethiopia has doubled its budget for health over the last five years. Recognizing the importance of achieving sustainability, the U.S. government, through PEPFAR and the broader U.S. Global Health Initiative, will continue to support the government of Ethiopia's health priorities laid out in the Partnership Framework.

3. Connect suitably sized equipment grounding wire to ground terminal provided.
4. Install a separate circuit breaker between supply and unit. Provide a power supply disconnect within sigth of the steam generator or one that is capable of being locked in the open position.
5. For single phase units, use two-wire supply source and equipment grounding wire. Neutral (white) wire is not required.
