"Had a bunch of mushrooms sitting in the fridge begging to be used up so found this recipe and it is very good! I also had some broccoli needing cooked up so I cooked ii seperately and added it in at the end of the recipe. My one suggestion would be to saute the veggies first instead of the garlic and then add the garlic for a minute before adding in the mushrooms. I almost over did my garlic but also probably had the heat up a bit too much. I think tomorrow I will turn it into salmon broccoli corn chowder for lunch by adding canned salmon and some cooked frozen corn!"

Softball Cruises to Two Wins in North Carolina
Courtesy: Canisius College Athletics
Release: 02/24/2013
Junior Jen Consaul picked up both wins on the day in the circle for the Griffs to improve her record to 3-1 on the year. Senior Amanda Baun went four frames in the first game against St. Francis, but Consaul came on in relief and earned the win in that game before giving up just two hits to go with 11 strikeouts against North Carolina A&T.
The Griffs will play St. Francis, North Carolina A&T or UMES in the North Carolina A&T Invitational championship game at 12 p.m., on Monday. The North Carolina A&T-UMES game was halted in the fourth inning on Sunday because of darkness. That game will be completed at 8:30 a.m., Monday morning.
The Golden Griffins jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the first inning but needed five runs in the fifth take defeat St. Francis (Pa.) 10-4 in the first game of the North Carolina A&T Invitational. The Blue and Gold had 10 hits in the win, with freshman Bethany DMarco leading the way after she went 3-for-4 with a run scored and four RBIs. Fellow freshman Tori Nappo had two hits for the Griffs, as did senior Stephanie Pfentner and sophomore Robin Kennery. Pfentner and Kennery each scored two runs in the win, while Tori Nappo scored a run and was also credited with an RBI as well.
With Canisius already leading 2-0 in the first, DeMarco drilled a single to right that allowed two runs to score to put the team up 4-0. The Red Flash (0-3) added a single run in the second and three runs in the third to knot the game at 4-4, but Canisius took the lead for good in the fifth as the team sent 10 batters to the plate in the frame and scored five runs on five hits to make the score 9-4. Canisius added an insurance run in the sixth on an RBI base hit by DeMarco.
Consaul came on in relief of starter Baun to earn the win after she tossed three shutout innings and allowed just two hits while striking out three and walking one. Baun got a no decision in the game after she gave up four runs, just one of which was earned, on four hits to go with five strikeouts and three walks.
Canisius scored a season-high 12 runs on a season-high 16 hits in the team's 12-0 win over North Carolina A&T. Kennery went 4-for-4 with a double, a triple, three RBIs, two runs scored and an RBI to lead the way for Canisius. Five players had multiple hits in the win over the Aggies (0-1), with sophomore Michelle DelPrince adding three hits, two runs scored and two runs batted in.

Bastad, Sweden - Polona Hercog won her second consecutive Swedish Open title on Sunday after recovering from a shaky start to beat Mathilde Johansson of France 0-6, 6-4, 7-5.
The Slovenian racked up unforced errors in the first set and appeared to be headed for defeat but sharpened her focus in the second.
She controlled the match to go up 5-1 in the third but then lost her concentration once again, allowing Johansson to fight back to 5-5.
Hercog recovered by breaking Johansson in the next game and then serving out the match.
Hercog said: "Sometimes nerves kick in too much but I'm really glad that I managed to calm myself down in the last two games."
Hercog beat Sweden's Johanna Larsson in last year's Swedish Open final.

"If these girls roam around openly like this, then the boys will make mistakes"
Yeah, bloody girls eh? Jesus wept, but not nearly enough.
"Had the girl simply surrendered (and not resisted) when surrounded by six men, she would not have lost her intestine.*
*Comment made by a female scientist, Dr. Anita Shukla, at a "Women's Empowerment" conference organized by police.
"The victims are almost invariably young, educated working women who are enjoying freedom unknown even a decade ago."
I wonder about that. How many "uneducated" women do we not hear about, simply because they are not as visible?
Gang rape has long been used as a weapon in India, both to punish women seen as violating cultural norms and as revenge for injuries committed by their families. It has become a more prominent issue now as there are more educated, modern women working and living more independent lives. We are seeing a brutal backlash against change by cultural conservatives.
A couple of years ago, the NYT ran an article about Hindu nationalists protesting the celebrating of Valentine's Day in India by rioting at venues hosting events for singles and couples. They apparently felt that modern courtship had no place in India.
Part of the problem is that a lot of people view modern social mores as inherently Western and the infliction of an alien social system on their society. Combined with lingering resentment from the Imperial Era and you get everything you need for a violent, reactionary response to modernity. Its the Tariq Ramadan school of thought that states its imperialist to expect non-Western cultures to adopt Western ideas concerning humans rights, freedom, and how society should be organized.
I do not think it is all that much different from what we are seeing among our own Talibangelicals, actually, though the specific manifestations are somewhat different. They do not blow up abortion clinics and assassinate doctors in India.
I think that our reactionaries are a bit more careful in how to act because they usually know that there is a very good chance that the law is going to hit back hard. It doesn't deter the most fanatical but the best way to deal with reactionaries is to subject them to the full force of the law. It might not change their minds but it will prevent many of them from acting out.
I also think that reactionaries lash out less when the change is seen as coming for from within the society than from outside society. The backlash to the societal changes in the 1960s and 1970s could have been a lot worse. This also might be wishful thinking on my part.
Indeed. Backlash against women's rights exists in many places, in different forms.
Rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment are certainly manifestations that exist all over, though to different degrees. As some of my activist volunteering work is as a rape crisis counselor…they are certainly manifestations that are common in the US.
And on the other side, you find many people (in the US, no idea about India) who think that it must not really have been rape if the victim doesn't physically resist, even though the victim may be doing so to avoid further injury.
Yes, whether she fights back or not, she's always to blame.
i wouldn't bet money on things changing anytime in the next century. india's government is one of the most openly corrupt in the world, and their society one of the most openly mysogynist, so the prospect of the legal system doing anything soon is pretty damn low.
An ugly & brutal reminder that the War on Women isn't restricted to US conservatives.
The woman, whose intestines were removed because of injuries caused by a metal rod used during the rape, has not been identified. She was flown to Singapore on Wednesday night after undergoing three operations at a local hospital.
And why, exactly, was she flown to Singapore?
Supposedly they have a better transplant hospital than what was available in India.
Though as posted below, that explanation is not without its flaws.
Its pretty clear at this point that it was done against medical advice. Seems likely it was an attempt by the Indian govt to defuse the situation.
They failed.
I did wonder what kind of care she was getting in India; the doctors in Singapore said she had multiple internal infections.
I understand 6 men have now been charged with her murder.
Thanks, Robert Farley, for this post. It is interesting, isn't it, to see how the image of the police changes from the first article (2011) to the second article (Dec. 2012). NYT, trying its best, in the first article, to bolster support for the establishment and being totally unable to do it by the end of this horrible episode.
For those interested in more about this, I would recommend this website: http://kafila.org/
Scroll down a couple of articles and you all will read a number of essays detailing this story and the protests and the responses to the protests by the police and the politicos.
oops that is poco–not p.
What I don't understand is, how and why did those rat bastard pricks of Indian officials who shipped her 1,500 miles out of the country, to Singapore, "for medical treatment," get away with that? There is absolutely no medical reason to evacuate anyone with injuries and infections that severe, that far away. Did they think this whole thing would just go away if they whisked her out of the country?
Well, twitter rumors are already circulating that the poor girl was dead before the transfer–I am not sure whether the rat bastards thought that having the death announced outside of India might quieten the protests.
Doesn't the U.S. ship its Iraq and Afghanistan casualties to a hospital in Germany? That's not directly comparable, but it does suggest it's possible to move very sick patients.
That's not remotely comparable. India has first-rate hospitals, medical schools, and health care facilities (provided one can afford to use them), while any such facilities in Iraq were rendered inoperable by war and sanctions. Afghanistan has never had reliable tertiary-care surgical facilities. It is very possible to evacuate severely injured people to a higher level of care; it just makes no sense to bypass local sources of advanced care to do it.
Delhi: so spelled.
Words fail me. Is the likelihood of any meaningful change coming from this in India any greater than that in the U.S. after Sandy Hook?
I for one would pitch in my pennies for a fund to impound Bushmaster products and ship them to random women in India. With plenty of detachable magazines for crowd situations.
As we all learned in recent threads, guns are totally ineffective as a defense.
That's why police don't carry them…..
Ummmmm….wait a minute…..
I see that you have a severe irony deficiency. You should seek help from a medical professional immediately.
I don't know. How many thousands are clashing with riot police in the US?
This whole sickening thing has given us a remarkably unsubtle example of what we talk about when we talk about patriarchy. The Indian state deploys hundreds of police officers to attack those marching against rape culture, while it purports to remain helpless against rape culture itself.
See Scott's prior National Security And Civil Liberties post for examples (Jim Crow vs union busting) of how this happens regularly.
I think it may. There has already been a growing and increasingly militant women's movement that has specifically been targeting this kind of thing (which is not all that uncommon, though this was particularly brutal).
The events are fresh but the general climate has existed for a long time.
"Countries like India and Saudi Arabia fell to the bottom of TrustLaw's list due to harsh restrictions on women's mobility, high rates of infanticide and child marriage."
I have a young female relative who traveled to India with her Japanese husband, intending to go to Nepal as well. She left mid-trip from India due to constant harassment. They travel regularly to Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam staying at local homes they rent, so she's no sheltered neophyte.
Well, now I feel sick.
Actually, the first link is about an altogether separate gang rape than the one whose victim died yesterday. The one that brought about the mass protests occurred just two weeks ago, not in 2011. But it was just the most recent in a string of rapes that have been getting increasing attention from the Indian media and public.
Yes, I was also going to point out the problem with the first link, which was about a different rape entirely, but it also is a good article about the rape culture in general, especially the "town vs. country" angle, and provides background to these later, even more terrible events.
It's like that horrifying story of the other Indian woman who was allowed to die in the Irish hospital because of an unresolved miscarriage. What is the matter with these–jeeze, I even hesitate to call them people–that they consider women so gauddam DISPOSABLE?
Yeah–the Savitha angle (in Ireland) makes an interesting linkage. Just read in AJE re reported rape cases:
South Africa – 277,000 reported cases.
United States – more than 84,000 rape cases were reported.
India – reported a little more than 22,000 cases.
These round up the top 3. I would guess the ratio of reported vs. unreported cases is highest in India.
Also going to re-post my earlier comment in this thread:
It is interesting, isn't it, to see how the image of the police changes from the first (linked in the OP) article (2011) to the second article (Dec. 2012). NYT, trying its best, in the first article, to bolster support for the establishment and being totally unable to do it by the end of this horrible episode.

I have no connection to this website whatsoever, but if anyone here is really interested in the issue–this is the best place to get information from academics, activists and activist academics.
A terrible story and a good example of the terrible culture(s) that exists for women outside of the US.
So, where is Lindsay Beyerstein and Amanda Marcotte that are so quick to jump in on this blog and complain? Where are the 'feminists' when you really need 'em?3
Answer: If it doesn't involve self-promotion, profit or America bashing, they's AWOL time and time again.
Riiiiight! Just after a post pointing out that the US has the second highest rate of reported rapes in the world. Get a fucking clue, asshat, and save your puerile jingoism for Red State, Twitchy, or whichever rightard sewer you normally infest.
Oh shut up, you horrible little man.
Where are the 'feminists' when you really need 'em?3
Are you impaired in some manner, unable to read the comments? Feminists galore in this thread.
Why yes he is impaired in every way imaginable and completely devoid of common humanity.
Christ almighty, if you're going to hijack a horrific tragedy to whine about your personal hangups would you at least choose a stance not so comically fictitious as "feminists don't care about rape"? There are more important things in the world than your hard-on for Marcotte, Jesus.
To be fair, I don't think Troofy has ever actually had a hard on. His is on the other hand thoroughly repulsive.
You have to admit, it's flattering of Pancake Boy to assume that two individuals are "AWOL" if they are not participating in a LGM comment thread. Evidently this LGM comment thread is the most effective way to lobby for the cause of human rights in India so anyone choosing to lobby through their own media channels instead of commenting here is "AWOL".
Wait, I thought feminism was bad, according to the right? I'm confused.
Feminism is not 'bad'.
Feminism is outdated. The heavy lifting has already been done.
Women on the Supreme Court.
Women running for president.
Women at helms of industries
Women Governors
What passes for feminists are malcontents that pick some miniscule American issue, but ignore the plight of women overseas where the horrors actually occur.
They're opportunistic assholes that wish to make a living off of their hatetred of men.
Sorry, but so obviously true.
What part of "the US has the second highest rate of reported rapes in the world" did you not understand, jackass? This is not a "miniscule American issue." Nor is the fact that American women earn about 80% of what men do (even in the same jobs). It is also a fact that while women are 51% of the population, there are only 77 women serving as US Representatives and 17 as Senators. Hardly sounds like "you have come a long way, baby," to me. Much more like baby steps toward equality.
No one suffers like the white man, lemme tell ya.
They're opportunistic assholes that wish to make a living off of their hatetred [sic] of men.
Subtext remaining text, Jennie dearest.
You're so gay, you're so gayYou walk around like you're oh so debonairYou pull 'em down and there's really nothing there

With all the feminists out there on the Internets, you'd think you could at least come up with one or two examples of lesbian radical feminists who might plausibly have an actual hatetred of men.
Feminism is outdated.
It takes a very special mentality to make this assertion in the context of a case of gynocide.
a good example of the terrible culture(s) that exists for women outside of the US.
Oh look, it's a Republican troll.
Who IS this "Speak Truth" dingus?
Is he hoping to be crowned Miss The Point 2012? Because it's the end of the year and all the other contestants have been completely eclipsed.
Hand him the sceptre and slip that big fat shoulder ribbon over his head RIGHT the hell NOW.
If only there were some way of searching material on the Interlattice, to check "Speak Truth"'s assertion that feminists are ignoring the New Delhi murder.
"Is he hoping to be crowned Miss The Point 2012?"
I think he'll settle for Miss Congenitality.

The Custom Residential Architects Network (AIA-CRAN) on Dec. 7 held a forum during residential architect magazine's annual Reinvention symposium to talk about the organization within the AIA and how the group can benefit all architects who practice residential architecture for individual homeowners.
John Isch, AIA, 2012 CRAN co-chairman and a principal at RWA Architects in Cincinnati, told the audience that the group formed because of frustrations with the national AIA. "We heard architects, primarily those who practice residential architecture, voice dissatisfaction with the AIA and its inability to address their needs with relevant services," Isch told the crowd. But now with its organization, CRAN is "seeking ways to create change from within the AIA."
Through its "support, advocate, and educate" platform, CRAN aims to grow its membership. CRAN wants to support all architects whose practices focus on custom residential work, to find new avenues to advocate for the residential practitioner, and to provide continuing educational opportunities for its members, the public, and allied team members on the residential architecture practice.
At this session, CRAN executive members solicited suggestions from residential practitioners in the audience "on how and what CRAN can do to become relevant," Isch said. Breaking up into smaller groups, the audience members brainstormed topics and strategies on how CRAN can better serves its members. Topics includededucation, contracts, regional CRAN chapters, networking, and best practices that can be helpful in the day-to-day operations of a firm. The intent, Isch said, is to fold the responses into CRAN's future initiatives.

Suffolk police have launched a manhunt for a fugitive they believe killed a 20-year-old Central Islip woman in July and left her body on the side of the road.
An arrest warrant accuses Manuel Moreno, 42, of Central Islip, of murdering Suffolk County Community College student and aspiring architect Jennifer Perez, according to police records obtained by Newsday.
Most Popular
The victim's body was spotted by a passing motorist a few feet off Pinewood Avenue about 7:30 a.m. on July 7. An autopsy revealed that she suffered blunt-force trauma, police said.
"He is the only suspect," said Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick, commander of the Suffolk homicide squad. "We know he's fled the jurisdiction. We're actively seeking him."
Perez's friend, Christina Lopez, 20, said she and the victim's family had suspected that Moreno, an acquaintance of Perez's, had played a role in her death.
"He ran off right after she died, but he needs to pay the price," Lopez said. "We need justice for Jennifer. She was an angel; artistic and musical and beautiful."
"For a girl so sweet to die like that is just . . . the worst thing imaginable," said David Marquez, of Central Islip, a friend and former classmate of Perez.
Marquez said friends and family of the victim "won't be satisfied" until the suspect is captured and charged with the slaying.

Resource Workforce Center opens in Henrico
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 10/08/12
Community leaders and elected officials from across the region gathered in eastern Henrico Sept. 24 to celebrate the opening of a new resource center for job-seekers that is the first of its kind in Central Virginia.
The Resource Workforce Center, located just off Nine Mile Road at 121 Cedar Fork Road, is the first such center inthe area to serve both adults and older youth.
Members of the federally funded Resource Workforce Investment Board, which works to increase private sector employment opportunities, joined in cutting the ribbon to mark the official opening and followed up with tours and information sessions led by center staff and community partners such as the Community College Workforce Alliance, Job Corps, Virginia Employment Commission, and Senior Connections.
"It's such a beautiful day," exulted James Holland of the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, chairman of the resource consortium of local elected officials, as he prepared to cut the ribbon at the entrance to the center. "We're having class outside!"
In addition to serving as a one-stop job-shopping resource for the unemployed, disadvantaged adults and older youth, said Holland, the center will also assist the underemployed. "You may have a job," he noted. "But do you have a career?"
The center will help entrepreneurs as well, through a program known as resource business solutions that asks the leadership from various companies, "What do you need to expand?" Among the companies that have expressed interest in such assistance are a growing food supply company and a railroad company losing workers to retirement.
But "first and foremost," said Holland, "[the center] will offer those who come a friendly face."
Deborah Wickham, chairman of the Resource Workforce Investment Board, noted that a great deal of research has gone into locating centers where they can best serve the more than one million citizens in the area's member jurisdictions, which include the counties of Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent, Powhatan as well as the City of Richmond. One of three area workforce centers (the others are in Chesterfield County and South Richmond, with a fourth opening soon near downtown Richmond), the 20,000 square-foot center replaces one less than half its size on Williamsburg Road.
"Eastern Richmond and Henrico contain some of the highest concentrations of poverty in our region," Holland pointed out, "and so we are opening this center where it is most needed."
Representatives of various organizations began their tours in the reception area, which features kiosks for easy registration and space for one or more police officers on site. Among features of the dedicated space for youth are computer labs and stations for resume writing, as well as facilities housing the Resource Youth Network's out-of-school program, the GOALS Institute.
The converted building, formerly a Verizon call center, also boasts a large conference room, a resource room that can be used to access the internet for job searches, and access to printers and faxes for submitting job applications and resumes. Center staff offer job seeker services such as resume reviews, skills assessment, career counseling, mock interviews, and for individuals who qualify, intensive training that may include free tuition to local educational institutions.
"It's all about connecting people with partnerships and working together," said Holland. "It will come to fruition."
Frank Thornton of the Henrico County Board of Supervisors, whose Fairfield District includes the new center, described similar visions for the site as he prepared for the ribbon-cutting. "This will be a venue of collegiality," Thornton said. "Of service to our people."
"You've heard of no wine before its time?" he asked. "Our time has arrived."
Snipping the ribbon, Holland added emphasis with a flourish and triumphantly held the scissors aloft.
"It's open!" announced Holland. "Go forth and prosper!"

Posted by Thomas Husson on the B2C Marketing Professionals Blog on October 22, 2013
As it did for the iPhone 5S and 5C, Apple has tweaked its product portfolio with two new products to maintain premium positioning in an increasingly competitive tablet market. Both the iPad mini 2 (starting at $399) with Retina display and the iPad Air (starting at $499), which is thinner (43% thinner than the iPad 4), lighter, and faster (with a super-fast A7 chip) are great additions to the iPad product portfolio and come with new colors and covers. As always with Apple, expectations on systematic breakthrough hardware innovations are irrational. Apple is good at inventing new products (e.g., iPod, iPhone, or iPad) and at maximizing profitability of its product range over time through software innovations and clever marketing. Yes, at some point, the company will need to disrupt a new market once again, but today's announcement is really about making sure it maintains the premium brand experience for the holiday season when competition is heating up — not just for tablets but also for the amazing new line of Mac products.
Competition is heating up


text: Pairs partnerships seem to be more stable than ice dance partnerships (except in the USA, where they seem to split almost every other year). Sometimes the new pair is more successful than the previous pairs. Ina & Dungjen split, and Stiegler-Zimmerman split. Ina & Zimmerman had more success than either of the other teams (although I&D were fairly successful, winning US titles more than once) Rodnina-Ulanov split, after winning an OGM and 4 world titles. Rodnina & her next partner Zaitsev won 2 OGMs and 6 more world titles. Berezhnaya-Shliakov split and Petrova-Sikharulidze split. Berezhnaya-Sikharulidze had a lot more success (1 OGM, 2 world titles, 1 Oly silver) than the other two pairs. Petrova won a world title with her new partner Tikhanov. Volosozhar split from Morozov and had much greater success with Trankov Savchenko split from Morozov and had much greater success with Szolkowy Jamie Sale split from Jason (last name?) and had much greater success with next partner Pelletier (she had a long gap in between the two pairings however) Jeni Meno & Scott Wendland split, and Kuchiki & Sand split. Meno & Sand won a world silver and multiple US championships. Yuko Kavaguchi had at least 2 partners before she teamed up with Smirnov and had much bigger success. Some exceptions: After splitting from Mishkutenok, Artur Dmitriev won an OGM with Kazakova, but did not win a world title. Obertas & Sokolov split, after finishing 5th at worlds. Obertas & Slavnov did not do well at worlds (although they did win a silver at Europeans) and eventually split. Ulanov did not win a world title with his next partner. Mukhartova's career ended after splitting from Trankov Who will be the next 'new' pair to have greater success? May be Maisuradze & his new partner?

As I recently celebrated my fifth anniversary as a Forrester analyst, I reflected on how my coverage area has changed. For the past five years I've covered the web content management (WCM) market. This has been a healthy market, and I still get plenty of interest from my clients on this topic.
But the context of that interest has changed markedly, particularly over the past year. When clients used to ask about WCM, they wanted to know about WCM and WCM only. But these days, they ask about WCM in the context of other technologies supporting customer experience, such as commerce, CRM, and analytics. Our clients have reached a logical conclusion: WCM isn't the end-all-be-all for digital experiences but instead is one piece of the customer experience management (CXM) puzzle.
And the market will continue to evolve in 2012. In particular:

Breckenridge Town Council to meet Tuesday evening

The council's regularly scheduled meeting will follow at 7:30 p.m. in the same location.

I'd only suggest going with the P229 in 9mm for the expense of the ammo for practice. If you plan on carrying as a BACKUP for hunting, either will do. If you plan on pistol hunting, anything in the big-game size range, I'd opt for a 44Mag revolver.
Both the 229 and 220 are excellent guns. Pricey, but worth the money for most of their owners. The 45ACP will run you almost twice as much money as the 9mm ammo to shoot currently.
Both, with modern JHP ammo, are fine vs 2-legged predators...

Organize Your Life | Getting Our the Front Door...Pin It
I don't know about you, but we used to get out the door pretty easily. Now...it seems like it takes forever. ...and don't even get started on Kindergarten...that was a whole new game change when it came to organizing our front door space. Here's the thing -- it has to be super organized, but that doesn't mean it has to be colors that don't fit the rest of your home's scheme or bright plastic bins to contain everything. You don't need labels or tags or the typical organizational tools. You just need a little creativity, a little patience (or money) and a lot of organization.
This is our front door. It all looks very calm and innocent, but wait until you see what lies beneath...
Before diving into the organizational structure, let's take a look at the actual furniture pieces first. I use 2 types of wood that complement the wood flooring (the photo makes the colors look off, but I promise the floor is the same tone as the sewing desk :) So there is a blond wood tone in the floor, the sewing desk (right), the cork and one shoe basket (not pictured). There is a deep walnut wood seen on the mirror, hook rack, coat rack, clock, cork board frame, message center (behind coat rack) and shoe basket (under sewing table). To the left of the arrangement is another landing table with walnut tones.
Now moving on to the real nitty gritty....THIS is what is underneath that calm exterior...
Here is how our front door works. There are levels of organization. The actual door is priority #1.
Our front door is magnetic (thank you previous owner!). I've never had a magnetic front door before, but it is fabulous. I use simple strong IKEA magnets the same color as the door to hold papers that absolutely MUST go out the door when we walk out. Typically it is papers that need to be turned into school (they are so amazingly strict even for Kindergarten...it just blows my mind...but anyhoo -- no use going off on a tangent now...) The other must for our front door is pretty standard. We must have a dead bolt. Now, many folks have a dead bolt to keep bad people OUT. We simply need a deadbolt to keep our baby IN. He is always trying to get out the front door and that dead bolt is a lifesaver - literally.
The second level is right inside the door to the left. The essentials for our family include:
#1 Mirror -- Who wants to go outside with lipstick on their teeth or hair sticking up??
#2 Key Storage -- You aren't going anywhere without them! We use 2 hooks that are attached to the mirror.
#3 Wallet Storage -- Again, you aren't going many places without it. This is also part of the mirror.
#4 Backpacks -- Homework in the backpacks, snack in the side pocket, kid height so they can hang them themselves.
#5 Kid Coats -- Separate from adult coats on strong hooks. All within a foot of the door because of the...
#6 Wipeable Floor -- A must. Our kids (and we!) track in tons of dirt and mud. A wood, laminate or tile floor is a must right inside the door.
The third level of organization is to the right of the door. These items are essential, but not as dire of consequence if forgotten like tier 1 & 2.
#1 Clock -- Timing is not a strong suit of mine, so clocks are everywhere in our house. One near the door is essential.
#2 Message Center -- This is hidden behind the coat rack, but it is one of those little message racks from the 50's. I keep a checkbook, a pen and a Sharpie in it. That is it...no more, no less.
#3 Bulletin Board -- For essential bills and such that need attention right now.
#4 In and Out Box -- Letters, cards, bills, etc, etc. I try to keep this empty.
#5 Coat Rack -- Adults Only, 1-2 coats, purses and an umbrella.
#6 Catchalls -- My catchalls at the moments include a little Haeger planter and a silver bowl. They catch all :)
#7 Shoe Basket(s) -- We have 2 baskets of shoes by the door. One is under the sewing table, one is to the right. I try to keep adult shoes in one, kid shoes in the other, but it doesn't always work out quite that way...in fact, I often find my clean girl shoes mixed into the dirty boy pile, complete with Cheerios...
The fourth level is to the left of the door. There is a little coat closet across from the door, and then a landing table in front of it. The stuff stored here is a lot less essential, but nice to have near the door.
#1 Library Book Box -- See that dark brown box under the table? That was supposed to be for the laundry chute, but the moment my husband brought that puppy home from the store, it snuck right under that table and has been holding library books ever since. It is the same shape and color as the shoe box under the sewing table, so I couldn't let it leave...it was just too perfect! Anyway, the box is almost always full of library books, half to read, half to go back...and our fines have gone down (slightly) since I put this basket so close to the front door.
#2 Open Space -- This is a difficult one. I always seem to be adding furniture because surfaces can't stay clear. However, it is essential to have spaces that are clear of everything -- especially by the front door. A place to drop a bag, set a book, lay down a heavy present, etc. etc. Big. Open. Clear. Space.
#3 Coupons and Books that I am reading or refer to often in the racks.
#4 Letter Rack on top (more cute than anything, but open storage in case...again OPEN, not full of stuff)
#5 Guest Book Frame and Matte
#6 I have chapstick in that drawer...another essential :)
The fifth level is even further away from the front door and includes the SHOE DRESSER with extra shoes, hats and scarves. Also important to have close to the front door is a bunch of bowling pins stuck upside down in a frame you have been meaning to upholster...
um yeah...that is our home....complete organization and then crazy toys everywhere with half finished projects...IT WORKS!!
Now it is your turn...how do you keep your front door organized? How do you make sure you have everything you need? What are your tips and tricks for making it look like a habitable home instead of the inside of an office supply cabinet?? Share share share!

The digital photo frames Apple products have a cup display that often becomes covered in fingerprints and sometimes scrapes. A remedy for such situations is a clear display guard. The display guard provides a cover the cup display to reduce fingerprints and scrapes and it also decreases the chance of the cup accidents damaging if the cellphone is decreased.
You can purchase a display guard at most Wholesale electronic or a mobile cell phone equipment store, and applying the display guard only takes a few minutes. Clean off your digital photo frames display. Use a lint-free fabric and eliminate the display. If the cellphone has fingerprints or oil from your experience, you may want to use a cup cleanser. Apply the cup cleanser onto the fabric and not straight onto your iPhone, as you do not want to absorb the cell phone and possibly harm the presenter on the experience of the cell phone. Lay your iPhone down with the display experiencing up. Create sure that your iPhone is on a smooth working area.
Take the display guard out of its appearance and only eliminate one part of the movie protect on the display guard. Hold the display guard on the part that still contains the movie to decrease the possibility of making fingerprints on the difficult part of the display guard. Arrange the display guard so it collections up with one part of the iPhone's display. The display guard has an opening cut out for the iPhone's mic and "Home" button; be sure to modify the display guard to encompass the opening and not overlap it. Start from one end and gradually lay the display guard over the iPhone to protect the display. Create sure that the advantage of the display guard collections up perfectly with the advantage of your iPhone. Rub your hand over the display guard, equally pushing down all over, to protect it to the iPhone.
The best iPhone 5 accessories are Apple's edition of a mobile phone. Rather than using a fold-out or slide-out key pad like many other mobile phone devices, the iPhone uses an exclusive key pad on its touch screen show. Entering on touch screen key pad can be difficult -- unless you know some guidelines of the business. Customers can navigate the iPhone's exclusive key pad in one of two ways: scenery, used by having the cell phone flat in a trench, or symbol, which is used by having the cell phone top to bottom. In either structure, the dimension the laptop key pad is similar to the dimension the exclusive document, taking up approximately half the display. However, in the scenery direction, the individual important factors are larger; this makes it much simpler for users to kind using both thumbs. Auto-correction is the Digital Photo Frames edition of magic check. It works in several methods. First, it tries to think what term you're trying to find out before you complete entering it. For example, if you entered the characters the Auto-correction device might recommend the phrase "establish." If this is the phrase you were entering out, pushing the space bar will allow you to take the iPhone's recommendation without entering out the relax of the phrase.

Laserlyte recently discontinued a laser sight that replaced the factory rear sight. Has anyone had any experience with it? It seemed like a good option for someone that wants to add a laser sight, but to keep using Kahr's factory grips. I currently have a K9. For me, the only other laser sight option is replace the factory grips with a Crimson Trace set.
By the way, the LaserLyte Kahr gunsite was manufactured only for Kahr's newer rear sight dovetails.
Thank you for your responses in advance.

This page consists of resized images so that you can evaluate the overall exposure.
The action program mode biases the shutter towards higher speeds, ideal for capturing moving subjects, here at a shutter speed of 1/480th.
The powerful zoom lens and fast AF system make the S6500 an ideal camera for shooting wildlife. I'm no expert, but this squirrel didn't seem to mind.
Shooting into the low-angled Autumn sun is a challenge for any exposure meter, but the S6500 has coped fairly well, with only a little purple fringing around the high-contrast edges.
had this camera for over a year and a half never let me down ,the results are fantastic and would be hard pressed to buy another make or model that could copy the results i have had from this camera. you get a lot of camera for the money I think I paid 𧵍 for it from pc world. Battery life is outstanding using 4 nih mi batteries, i shoot in raw using fuji,s own program for processing shots,very fast AF at night the green light is very bright,great camera!
I guess if you're reading this ,this late in the day, you are thinking about picking this camera up second hand, as I did. Do, it's great, I even bought another after trying out the s9600 for a while, to my mind this is the better camera, backing you up in such a wide rang of situations that I couldn't be without it. I'm now about to upgrade to a dslr, normally I'd look to pass this on to spread the cost, but I would'nt be without it such is its go anywhere do anything character. The price you'll pick this up for on ebay makes it a no brainer, and you cannot find an all rounder that has better quality to iso performance. If you already have a dslr, you might find this worth considering over a second body, if you really are thinking of a back up camera.
I've looked up this camera here, as I've just started using mine again. I also have a s9600 which I bought to "upgrade" the 6500. I recently upgraded that to an EOS450D. To be honest, I wish I'd never bothered with the 9600, good though it is. I really think the 6500 is far superior in image quality - ok, it can't match a true DSLR, but it does come pretty close. I've been out using it's great macro system on the plethora of spiders in our garden and I've been amazed at the quality. If anyone reading this is thinking about photography as a hobby, but doesn't want to fork out loads of cash to buy into a DSLR system (wife's not happy at my almost bankrupting us buying kit for my EOS)get a second hand S6500fd. You'll have all the equipment you need to take first rate photographs and experiment with different styles - if you then decide it's not for you you've not lost a great deal of money and will probably get back what you paid for it if you sell it. Don't get suckered into the "more megapixels must be better" philosophy. It's the glass at the front and the eye behind the camera that makes a truly good picture. Good luck.
Oh, and I nearly forgot, I bought the wide angle screw on lense for the 6500, which also works on the 9600. Just for fun I screwed it on to the kit lense which came with my EOS 450D to see what would transpire. It was amazing! I used it for a wedding I shot at the end of August and the pictures were superb with little or no distortion whatsoever. Saved me a fortune!
A long time ago... six years to be precise I bought this camera. A that time i hadn´t money to expend in a "cheap" Nikon D40. So I decided buy this Fujifilm s6000fd (marketed as S6500fd in others countries). I was noticed the qualities of this 6 Megapixel left the over-valuated S9100 to shame, and even pretty close from quality of Nikon D40 with a Kit Lens (shotting RAW) and more close from older DSLR (of course you can't do magic with DoF/Bokeh with small sensor). This camera it was state of art in sensor technology from a compact camera. It was so good, if you compare this camera with much of the last luxury compact camera 1/1.7" sized sensor, you will find this is better even in resolution and only missing a little in dynamic range regard . A fool folk chased me when I was taking pictures in the coast in the middle of beauty Argentina's Patagonia. This ugly boy owned a over-valued Panasonic FZ-50, he talked much comparing my Fujifilm S6000fd with his Pana all the time, bluffing how much much better it was his camera. This boy talked to me without idea what had it mi camera inside, better angular of 28mm, better sensor by miles, in general better camera. In my life this camera have part of my former work in digital with others small DSLR. Now I owner of Nikon D700, D300 and lastly Panasonic G3 to informal shots so, I lent the old S6000fd to my lovely friend Jorgelina. I cant sell it or gift it because is part of my learning and the monetary value is nothing, so I kept it, the real first love never sells.

You guys liked the bubble up enchiladas so much, that I decided to try the bubble up pizza version of it. I've seen it pinned so many times now, that the enchilada version has become my most popular post on my blog. Yay, thank you to everybody for making that post such a success!
The pizza version is just as good and easy as the enchilada version. I do however, like the enchilada version, best so far. Always keep a can of biscuits in your fridge and you can pull together a week night meal as easy as this, in a snap. Turkey pepperoni is actually pretty good too, and tastes just like the fatty kind. Minus the grease. Go out and try some turkey pepperoni if you haven't tried it yet.
Calories 378 | Fat 16.36g | Carbohydrate 34.36g | Fiber 1.3g | Protein 25.84g

3 cloves garlic, minced

15 ounces refrigerated buttermilk biscuits, buttermilk
Add whatever typical pizza toppings you like, green pepper, turkey pepperoni, mushrooms, etc.
1 1/4 cups part skim milk mozzarella cheese, shredded
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. In skillet, brown meat over medium high heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Stir in onion powder, tomato sauce, basil, garlic and Italian seasoning.
2. Add quartered biscuits; stir gently until biscuits are covered with sauce. Mix in toppings of your choosing. Spoon mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese; bake an additional 10 minutes or until biscuits are done. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM test and reviewThursday August 11 2011 Lens Review
The 17-50mm lenses, equivalent to the classical 24-70mm for the full frame cameras, are at the heart of Nikon, Canon, Pentax and Tamron's catalogs. But, even if all vendors are eager to offer the best high-speed wide-angle zoom for APS-C cameras, apparently Sigma managed to beat them all.
With this 17-50mm F2.8 lens for Nikon, Sigma offers a very high end wide-angle zoom at a very good price. DxOMark tests tend to prove that the Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM Nikon is so good that it even surpasses its competitors from Nikon and Canon which are twice as expensive.
However, if you're looking for a solid wide-angle zoom, the good-old Tamron SP AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] Nikon is also a good alternative.
What we like
- Overall DxOMark Score very good for this type of zoom and it stays very high from f/2.8 to f/4 on the whole focal range
- The lens is very sharp in the center and the resolution stays very high towards the field
- Very well controlled Chromatic aberration at any focal in the range
What could be better
- Slightly too much distortion at the focal of 17mm
- The vignetting is also a bit too present at 17mm: almost 2 EV in the corners
Let's see how this lens compare to its competition:
Sigma vs Nikon:
Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM Nikon vs Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED
With a distortion and transmission similar to the Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8, the amazing sharpness at the center and across the field gives a decisive advantage to the Sigma lens.
So, even without taking in account its very affordable price, the Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 EX DC OS HSM Nikon is an excellent choice.
Sigma vs Canon:
Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM Canon vs Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM
The Canon version of this 17-55mm Sigma lens is also an excellent lens. In the tests we made with a Canon EOS 7D, the sharpness was better than the Canon EF-S 17-55mm 2.8 across the field. The transmission was slightly higher too.
However, the distortion at 17mm is slightly better controlled by the Canon lens: 0.4% for Canon vs 0.75% for Sigma
Sigma vs Tamron:
Canon mount: Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM Canon vs Tamron SP AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] Canon
Nikon mount: Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM Nikon vs Tamron SP AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] Nikon
Sigma and Tamron both propose here very good high-speed wide-angle zoom with these lenses.
If we would have to make a choice, for the Canon mount version, we would go for the Sigma version which offers a much higher sharpness. But, for the Nikon versions of these lenses, the test results on a D300 are so similar that the choice is be much tougher. We would have to make it a draw.

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
New results are available on dxomark.com for the Tamron SP 17-50mm F/2.8 Di II XR VC LD Aspherical IF lens (Nikon and Canon mounts). This new review, along with our recent review of the Sigma 17-50mm, completes a set of measurements for trans-standard luminous lenses.

The type of surgery that is right for you will depend on your age, your level of activity, and the severity of your joint damage or deformity. Mayo Clinic offers many types of ankle surgery, including ankle fusion and ankle replacement.
In this procedure, surgeons roughen the ends of the damaged bones and then fasten them together with metal plates and screws. During the healing process, the damaged bones fuse together into one combined bone.
Ankle fusion is usually very successful in relieving arthritis pain, but it also reduces the ankle's motion. To make up for this, nearby joints may move more — which increases their risk of developing arthritis in these joints.
Ankle fusion is more common than is ankle replacement, partly because it holds up better and doesn't require you to restrict your activity as much after recovery. Fusion is generally recommended for younger people with more active lifestyles.
Artificial ankle joints have improved tremendously over the past 20 years, but they can still be damaged by high-impact activities such as running and jumping. That's why they're better suited for healthy people over the age of 60 who have less active lifestyles.
During ankle replacement surgery, the ends of the damaged bones are removed and a replacement joint made of plastic and metal is fitted onto the bones. The artificial joint helps the ankle retain more-natural movement, so there is less risk of arthritis developing in nearby joints.
You may not be a good candidate for ankle replacement if you:

Things have been busy.
I went to lw in ny; a few printing related things were there, and some other neat things besides. I guess HP's inkjet drivers were the main thing. See the report. Revolution OS was particularly nice to see, especially so soon after I got annoyed enough at Antitrust to post an article.
Things are really falling into place for foomatic. It appears to be in Mandrake (for cups) and Red Hat (for magicfilter), and a Caldera fellow was popping up here and there. I've also gotten a couple friends to offer some coding assistance to help me spruce up some things.
I've begun the checkin/checkout code; this is a prerequisite to lots of things so I'm excited to be underway. Once that's done, better interoperation with complicated drivers like OMNI can be implemented, and user tools will be able to make easier use of the information.

Best home fragrance ever!
Just bought a new house so I hadn't committed on a smell yet and thought I would try this out. I was a little skeptical because I got the lotion and it's amazing, but I wasn't sure I wanted my house to smell like that. WRONG! I deep cleaned my house and sprayed a small amount on the second floor living/kitchen area. I read other reviews saying a little goes a long way and no joke! I could smell it for hours, going up to the floor and coming down to the floor. It's amazing! I will say that the home fragrance smells a little more perfumey than the body products, which I was okay with because it really needed to be for this purpose. Makes my house so light and fresh!

Olive Leaf room spray is always my go to and has been for many years. It evokes good memories like sitting in a dimly lit library filled with volumes of masterpieces. It is difficult to explain, but it is nostalgia at it's finest. Every time I smell this fragrance I feel at home and at peace.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by BillLaimbeer, Jan 13, 2010.
Sell, sell, sell. Don't think this team has enough pieces left to compete for the division.
Guillen hurt AGAIN. When is this guy NOT hurt? I'm still going to enjoy Cabrera's run at the Triple Crown. I wonder how Ordonez being out of the lineup will affect pitching to him. Without Ordonez slapping base hits, opposing pitchers may not have to pitch to Cabrera as much. Big pressure on Jackson and Damon.
I think his RBI count will drop now and the triple crown is in jeopardy..
Tigers get no-no'ed on national TV by TB rays Matt Garza as ESPN concentrates more on A-Rods attempt to get # 600. Tiger pitcher Scherzer also had a no hitter through six, but umps help Rays by putting guys on base with walks and then Laird helps out by interfering with a batter on 1-2 count to put another man on base. Scherzer battles former Tiger Matt Joyce on a 3-2 count but he hits a grand slam to blow open the game. Mean while the tigers had a bunch of Toledo Mudhens out there who could only find the Rays gloves in the out field. Even Carbrera was stifled by Garza hitting them hard but right to someone.
Talking about different strike zones. Scherzer can no hit them too if he gets the same strike calls. These umps are an embarrasement, and that was for all to see on national tv. At the same time, Detroit Mudhens can't really compete with the top teams.
The umps are bad all over the league this season..and the Tigers seemed to be a victim of their ineptitude every week. You could say that the second base ump was just in the wrong position, but even smoky eyed Leyland could see that the guy was out by a step. The plate umpire was just as bad as if he didn't want to be part of history with the possibility of two no hitters going into the ninth.....
I wonder if Dombrowski is thinking the Tigers might be too far away from being "buyers" at this point.
There's also an opinion around the league that the Tigers are desperate for help and people ask exorbitant prices for the players. I don't think Tigers have enough to compete, but if they can acquire a long-term asset, they should definitely look into that. I'd say if they keep losing, they should trade Damon if they can get some picks in return. Also, with the injury Maggs may not have enough for his next year's option, so his contract will probably come off the books. The next year looks pretty good to compete, at least IMHO.
The time for "buying" was when Cliff Lee was available. Other than injuries it's obvious our weak spot is starting pitching. We probably didn't have enough assets to get a guy like Lee because we traded all of ours away. I still think we coulda got more for D-Train. OK maybe not.
I don't think DD wants to give up what others are asking for. This team has too many holes, including catcher, 2nd base, starting and relief pitching. They will have some options when big contracts are coming off the books including D-Train, Robertson, and possibly Ordonez.
- We must keep the team above .500. Buy, and don't be cheap. We need one more stopper, relief pitching is fine with 6-1 Coke and 4-0 Thomas. Bondo should go, but stoppers are hard to find.
Speaking of catching, Laird has a good arm, but the dude is a waist sending him up to the batters box...He is one of the few guys on the team that weighs more than 40 pts more than his batting average 225 lbs, .182 batting average) How many times in the past couple of seasons after Pudge left that he came up with men in scoring position only to kill a rally? Alex Avila isn't any better, but at least he is close to his weight batting .206
I think they should give Avila consistent playing time to see what he can do as he is still young and has gotten a very sporadic playing time. If they don' do that, he should be sent down to be an everyday player. Laird was a career back up, but he still was a solid .250 batter. Not sure what happened.
Hard luck Tigers lose 3-2 6th inning, Tigers tie the game with hits by meat of the batting order>Damon and Cabrera with Raburn driving them in.....Rays score a run in the bottom of the sixth to go back up by 1 Tigers load bases in the top 7...and Boesh strikes out to end the threat Tigers load bases in the top of 9th with 1 out and Cabrera up to bat....and he grounds into a double play. Verlander pitches 8 innings, gives up only 5 hits...Tigers get 12 hits tonight after getting a no-no last night, but the combo of Tigers and Mudhens strike out 11 times and leave tons of runners on base....(11) With the Sox and the Twins on mini win streaks and winning tonight .......any bets the Tigers will be 6-7 games back by the end of the week??
That was a tough loss. Lots of wasted chances. I cursed several times.
Did you hear Leyland yell out a big F!!, when Longoria fielded that Cabrera grounder and turned it into a DP.... I know he had 2 strikes, but I have to wonder was that the right pitch (ball) to swing at. Also when was the last time the Tigers got a sacrafice RBI fly ball?? Yesterday all of the balls went to the out field...today Jackson is siitting out there on third base.....Damon walks after fouling off four pitches. Then all we need is a long ball, in play or out by MC and he does what we all thought he would do....hit into a DP
Cabrera comes through in that situation more times than not. That was ball 4 that he swung at, though. I changed the channel right when he hit the grounder so I missed the f-bomb.
It's a shame about that All-Star break. Really killed Boesch's mojo. Wtih Maggs, Guillen, and Inge out we need that bat to wake up.
The Cleveland Indians have traded third baseman Jhonny Peralta to the Detroit Tigers for minor league left-hander Giovanni Soto. Peralta was in the lineup for Cleveland's game against the New York Yankees on Wednesday, but was pulled at about 6 p.m. He's batting .246 with seven homers and 43 RBIs in 91 games. link: Indians trade 3B Peralta to Tigers - MLB - Yahoo!
