Chrysler Called Out On "Imported From Detroit" Campaign
We've all seen them. The "Imported from Detroit" ads that Chrysler is flooding the market with. Some people think it is a clever way to gain favor with Chrysler's home audience, others simply do not like the ads themselves. Nomatter how you feel about them, one thing is clear – they are kind of misleading.
A recent study by "The Made in the US Foundation" found that the vehicles in the ads are not even made in Detroit. Made in the USA chairman Joel Joesph said in a statement, "The Chrysler 300 is assembled in Brampton, Ontario, Canada and often includes a Mexican-made engine. Last time I checked, Detroit is not in Canada. Chrysler is flat wrong to imply the Chrysler 300 is made in the United States and we have asked the FTC to order corrective advertising."
Chrysler responded by saying that Imported from Detroit is merely a saying and is not to be taken literally.

Computer science now top major for women at Stanford University
By Sarah McBride
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Computer science has for the first time become the most popular major for female students at Stanford University, a hopeful sign for those trying to build up the thin ranks of women in the technology field.
Based on preliminary declarations by upper-class students, about 214 women are majoring in computer science, accounting for about 30 percent of majors in that department, the California-based university told Reuters on Friday.
Human biology, which had been the most popular major for women, slipped to second place with 208.
If more women majored in technological fields like computer science, advocates say, that could help alleviate the dearth of women in engineering and related professions, where many practitioners draw on computer science backgrounds.
"We've crossed that threshold where women feel supported and comfortable," said Eric Roberts, a Stanford professor emeritus of computer science who first obtained the numbers. "What we need to do is not turn anyone away because they feel unsupported, and a vibrant core community with a critical mass is essential."
The shift at Stanford is particularly important given its prominence in Silicon Valley and the large number of companies, including Yahoo and Google, founded by its students.
Only 27 percent of entrepreneurs are women, said Ross Levine, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who is researching the gender gap in entrepreneurship.
Computer science is Stanford's most popular major and has been for several years, according to a spokesman, representing about 20 percent of students with declared majors. Continued...

Re: Speak errors (was Re: audio)
I'm sorry if I got off topic Richard Fateman.
Sorry I cannot test the audio situation I have an earlier mm ver. But
i have an idea.
"I have tried to work with pausing and the problem that I am
encountering with pausing is that what ends up happening is the
displaying of the disks is delayed and while the buttons are delayed
they are not disabled, so it still allows that audio to become out of
(a race condition - that is why I suggested simple waiting. i see no
solution posted above so let me try again....)
The Front-End has it's own evaluator separate from the kernel. I'm
thinking maybe that's where your split (and then race condition)
occurs. Make sure all expressions effected are done by one or the
other but are not split in-between both. See "FrontEndEvaluate" for
more info. I'm thinking that because I beleive many new features todo
with dynamic front end content have some level of integration with the
new front-end evaluator.

Just your average cliche 'good girl meets bad boy' fanfiction.

text: I looked at a 1911 today and it was really nice but when I racked the slide I got a pretty good shock :smt119 no guide rod. I have only one other 1911 and by golly that one has a guide rod. I'm not a 1911 guru and can only tell you what I know about mine. Other 1911's I have handled all had guide rods so whats up? Is this something totally new or are there other 1911's out there without a guide rod as well? I was looking at the Sig Scorpion and it caught me by surprise. Is this something to worry about? Does this make the gun any less reliable, accurate, or reduce the life of the gun in any way? It feels really good in the hand but I don't want to lay that kind of money down on an inferior gun if it makes it that way. I was ready to walk out the door with gun in hand but now it has me wondering. Is it something I should stay away from or just lay down the cash and never look back? Thanks for your help due to the fact i'm still 1911 slow.

Happy Canada Day! What we're reading in July, 2010
Canadian Bookworms
Join LibraryThing to post.
This topic is currently marked as "dormant"—the last message is more than 90 days old. You can revive it by posting a reply.
I'm reading The Knife Man: The Life and Times of John Hunter, Father of Modern Surgery by Wendy Moore, for a book club.
Happy Canada Day everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying better weather the we are having right now in Victoria BC. Here it is cold and overcast, a good day to curl up with a book!
Right now I am reading ..... hummmmm , what am I reading.....
goes off to retrieve book from other room
The Secrets of a Fire King, a collection of short stories by Kim Edwards.
Since hubby and I are reading The Knife Man together, I'm also starting my Early Reviewers book from APRIL, which just arrived: Home, Away by Jeff Gillenkirk
I am 100 pages through the 700 page Canadian tome that is The way the crow flies set in an army base near London-Ontario.. so far I really like it!
I am also almost halfway through Galway Bay another large book. This book starts in Ireland in the years before the potato blight.. they are now in the second year of the blight and starting to consider moving to 'Ameri-Kay'... I have some Irish background so this is an interesting read for me... hard to read about how poorly the Irish were treated.
To celebrate this chilly damp west coast Canada Day I'm reading a past Governor General's award winner: The Underpainter by Jane Urquhart. It was also nominated for the Orange Prize, so I'm reading it for the annual Orange July reading-fest.
>5 Nickelini: - Joyce, The Underpainter looks good. I look forward to finding out what you think of it.
I have finished Knitting Under the Influence, a dull chick lit book but which has an interesting focus on autism.
I've also read Ru by Vietnamese Canadian Kim Thuy. Through a series of poetic vignettes, she retraces her past and integration into Quebec.
I will now be starting the very voluminous Wolf Hall by Hilary Martel and hopefully learn something of English history.
Just finished reading My discovery of America by Farley Mowat. A hilarious book.. posted a review :)
I just finished a great murder mystery, When Will There Be Good News by Kate Atkinson. I've been reading a lot of myteries lately, and this is for sure my favourite.
Today I'm starting The Amazing Absorbing Boy by Rabindranath Maharaj.
I'm reading The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable by Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
I plan to pick up a copy of The Global Forest by Ontario scientist Diane Beresford-Kroeger. A Canadian biologist, previously interested in trees only as perches, recommended it.
I'm reading Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, for a group read we're doing on The Green Dragon, very funny with lots of laugh-out-loud moments.
Next up will be my ER book The War Memoirs of HRH Wallis, The Duchess of Windsor, which is finally unpacked.
I'm reading The Hypnotist by MJ Rose for Early Reviewers and am quite enjoying this art history mystery (although there are too many characters!)
I also picked up Les paupières by Japanese Yoko Ogawa - one of my favorite authors. I'm looking foward to this series of short stories.
I've decided to read all those books that I think I've read but actually haven't. You know, those books that have been talked about so much (or have been made into so many film versions) that you think you know the story even though you haven't read it.
I'm currently reading The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. Unfortunately my primary and secondary school French classes didn't take, so I'm reading it in translation.
I'm also reading Othello as part of my introduction to poetry and plays course.
I'm reading my latest Early Reviewers book, The News Where You Are by Catherine O'Flynn
I'm using the new e-book service from my local library and chose Fingersmith by Sarah Waters. My reader now has a little clock next to the book - how cool is that? Only 19 more days left to read it....
Do they delete the book after 19 days?
With my library, I just can't access it after the "due" date. The file still appears, but it doesn't work. Depending on the rights attached to the book, sometimes I'm able to copy the book onto my computer, in which case I have it forever.
I'm starting Remainder by Tom McCarthy.
I'm reading Trespass by rose Tremain. Last night we really enjoyed the Swedish movie Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, dubbed in English so we didn't have to struggle with subtitles.
I just finished reading Paper Shadows by Wayson Choy. It's his haunting memoir about growing up in Vancouver's Chinatown, and it triggered some memories about my own Asian Canadian family (particularly my grandparents' generation). You can read my full review at www.the-reading-list.com
I've finished Negotiating with Giants by Peter D. Johnston and am currently reading The Black Tulip by Milt Bearden which a colleague gave me in 2004!
I have to had a lot of luck with books this month. I have almost finished The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn but have struggled with the language to start with and then find it annoying that every character is so gullible. To break up this book I decided to start Wolf Hall. Rarely do I not finish a book and I was really looking forward to this but in less than 100 pages I tossed it to the discard pile. The Historian has taken its place and I am really enjoying it. A copy of Missus just came from the library and I am very keen to start it as I have loved harp in the south and Poor Man's Orange earlier this year. I decided I need to wait until I am done with Huck Finn and his annoying friend Tom Sawyer first.
I just finished Fault Lines by Canadian author Nancy Huston. I find it really interesting that although this book is about English speaking people (and German near the end), she wrote it in French and then translated it into English. Wish I could read both and do a comparison. Anyway, it was a compelling read and time well-spent.
That sounds like an interesting book Nickelini! Might have to add that one to my wishlist :)
Nickelini (message 26):
I love Nancy Huston's novels but I haven't got around to reading Fault Lines yet. An Adoration is written in the style of court case with each character giving evidence about a man and the events surrounding his death to the reader (who is standing in as the judge). It's a slightly surreal style and a compulsive read. Dolce Agonia is a the story of a group of friends that gather for a reunion dinner after years of being apart. All of them are keeping both old and new secrets from each other and "God" acts as narrator, breaking in occasionally to fill the reader in on what's not being said. Does Fault Lines have the same surreal story telling techniques, or is it more in the style of modern novel?
I just started reading A Case of Exploding Mangoes by Mohammed Hanif. It's a politcal and social satire about the assassination of a military dictator and I'm thoughly enjoying it so far. I'll be able to give a better discription of it as I get further into it.
I don't know if I'd describe Fault Lines as "surreal," but it was different. It's told by four related narrators, each at the age of six years old. It goes in reverse chronological order, starting with the uber-obnoxious Sol, then his father back in the 1980s, his grandmother in the 1960s and finally his great-grandmother in WWII Germany. None of the six year olds actually sounds like a six year old--very advanced vocabularies and political ideas. This doesn't work for all readers, but I was okay with it. I'll definitely look out for those other novels.
#25 - I am so relived you threw out Wolf Hall. I've made it halfway through because a friend recommended it, but I've seriously thought of returning it - while the writing is good, the story is just plain tedious. Maybe I'll just return it with a smile on my face and pretend I've read it...
#28-29: I love Huston too. Her ability to write in two languages makes me marvel and she has such an incredible repertoire. My favourite by far is Plainsong which I tout every chance I have.
My favourite, so far, is Slow Emergencies. And, her The Mark of the Angel is one of the most disturbing books I've ever read.
25/30: Heh. I got about 1/4 of the way into Wolf Hall and returned it. I thought there was something wrong with me because everyone else seemed to rave. Thanks for confirming that its not just me :)
28/29/30: I have a couple to Huston's books and will have to bump her up the list a little. They look good so I am not sure why I haven't read them yet.
As for what I am reading right now? Frontier Spirit: The Brave Women of the Klondike by Duncan. It fills the Yukon spot of my Canadian challenge quite nicely and is really enjoyable so far.
It is! It's a series of vignettes of different women who came to the Yukon with a different purpose in mind and it chronicles how they survived the harsh environment. Some are happy stories and some aren't quite so happy but all are well told and quite interesting. With your love of 'pioneer' tales, I think you might like it.
I am all curled with a cozy murder mystery Latte Trouble by Cleo Coyle - it's part of a long list of coffeehouse mysteries which are full of spunk and humour that make me laugh out loud.
I have also started Nadirs by Nobel Prize winner Herta Müller. I thought I'd have it read in a couple of days since it's a slim book. However this collection of stories is very difficult to read: very poetic and impressionistic; one must almost be "in the zone" to appreciate it - somewhat reminiscent of Virginia Woolf. I must admit... not my favourite style.
I just finished The Wat the Crow Flies.. I have officially read as many books as I did last year! I must be on a roll. I will be starting Evening Snow Will Bring Such Peace this evening. It is a short book set in New Brunswick.
I'm reading The Sea, The Sea by Iris Murdoch
I've picked up a really cute little Canadian novel Le facteur émotif by Denis Thériault which speaks of a letter carrier who corresponds with a Guadeloupe girl in haïkus. Delightful!
On to Oxygen, Annabel Lyon's first book.
I just finished Except the Dying -the first in the Inspector Murdoch mystery series by Maureen Jennings. I really liked it and am looking for the rest of the series. ( I watch the TV series). I am now reading Save the Deli by David Sax.
Just started The Other Side of the Bridge and so far I'm really enjoying it.
I quit Parrot and Olivier in America. Although I liked the 'voice', I found I just didn't care about the characters or their story.
I'm reading Doing Dangerously Well, a humorous satire set in the near future when a major dam in Nigeria bursts, killing millions, and more importantly, creating opportunity for corrupt politicians and an American corporation to profit hugely through claiming ownership of the Niger River and selling its water back to the people.
On deck, The Imperfectionists.
I enjoyed The War Memoirs of (HRH) Wallis, Duchess of Windsor tremendously. Now I'm reading The Uninvited by Tim Wynne-Jones, a YA mystery cottage-country story, perfect for a quick summer read.
I just got a job at a used bookstore, so I'm going to have a tough time restraining myself from the selection now available to me. Yesterday I came home with the rest of Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next's series as well as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I can see I might need more bookcases!
Iudita, I loved The Other Side of the Bridge. Have you read Crow Lake yet? Mary Lawson has only written the two books, but I wish she'd write more, they're both so good.
I'm reading Transforming Rights: Reflections from the Front Lines by Maxwell Yalden.
I've officially given up on Wolf Hall... I'm reading Permanent Obscurity an author giveaway, which I really enjoying for its abrasiveness - it took me a while to tune in the language, but now I'm hooked.
I'm also reading Trois femmes puissantes the latest Goncourt (prestigious French award), but I haven't really figured out the format yet (short stories, independent threads... ack, when does it all come together?)
I'm torn between reading and the Ottawa Chamber Music festival (is it rude to read while listening to a concert?) - couldn't be a better dilemma, however!
I'm reading The Girls by Lori Lansens--my last Orange book for the Orange Prize July, and a Canadian one as well.
Cecil-I suspect it is indeed rude to read at a concert. You might get away with it though if you have a kindle and just kinda bury it in a bag in your lap.
32/ 46: it is so refreshing to know when you are not the only one to give up on a book. My reading this month improved greatly when I gave up on Wolf Hall.
To round out the month I finished The Historian which was a very fun read. Then read The reluctant twitcher and Ivan Ilych. My early review copy of Chef just arrived in the mail yesterday so it is next. Ruth Park's Missus is going to have to wait till next month.
32: My wife thanks you for mentioning Frontier Spirit: The Brave Women of the Klondike. I just got it from the library for her. She just finished Great Pioneer women of the Outback by Susanna de Vries and has been looking for similar books since then.
I am reading an early reviewers copy of Annabel set in Labrador, Canada.
I have also just started The Da Vinci Code since a friend gifted me with their hardcover version.
fmgee: Did your wife read Sisters in the Wilderness by Charlotte Gray? It's the story of Susannah Moody and Catherine Parr Traill in Ontario. It won a Canadian book award and I enjoyed it (but was glad I wasn't a pioneer!)
51...I've got a copy of sisters in the Wilderness somewhere and I think I'll dig it out. thanks for the suggestion.
I've just picked up Greedy Little Eyes from the library and hope to dig into it today.
I'm reading (and absolutely loving The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell. I saw yesterday that it has just been longlisted for the 2010 Man Booker prize, along with two Canadian works - February by Lisa Moore and Room: a Novel by Emma Donohue. I've read neither of these two, has anyone else? Recommended?
Nobody has read Room yet, as it has yet to be released in Canada. ARCs are available, but that's it.
>54 ajsomerset: Right you are. I just checked online for availability for Room: A Novel at the Kindle store (as I'm living currently in Brazil that's the only access I have to recently published works in English) and they show it as being available from August 01. I guess that the Man Booker jury must have gotten their hands on some of those ARCs, eh? (Incidentally, February is for sale already in a Kindly edition.)
Room: a Novel is available now from BookDepository for $17.56 CAN, including shipping.
55: Yup, the publisher will submit ARCs for a prize if the pub date is close to the deadline. So sometimes you get books longlisted that aren't even released.
Thanks for the heads up guys, just added that one to my growing wishlist as well :P
#57 - in this case though the book is available in Britain (any coincidence that it's a British prize? I have no idea)
I think it was only just released there. The only review I found of it is in an Irish paper. (Donoghue is an Irish citizen.)
Katylit - I finished The Other Side of the Bridge yesterday and I really really enjoyed it. I will definately read Crow Lake. Hope you are enjoying your new job. I work in a library and I always bring home way more than I can read. The good thing is that I can give them back when I'm done, otherwise I wouldn't know where I would put them all.

North Adams ER will reopen Monday
Emergency medical care set to return to northern Berkshire County, Massachusetts next week.
Berkshire Medical Center will open a 24-7 Satellite Emergency Facility at noon on Monday in the former ER of the North Adams Regional Hospital, which closed earlier this year.
BMC spokesman Mike Leary says it will be able to handle any emergency situation, but says there is one crucial difference with an emergency department - there is not a full hospital attached in which patients can be admitted. That means any severely injured or extremely ill patients will have to be transferred to the most appropriate hospital for further care.
Meanwhile, BMC is continuing to work with the bankruptcy court on the acquisition of the forrmer North Adams hospital.

Linthicum-McElfresh Cemetery
Frederick County, Maryland
Fire Tower Road
Hyattstown, Maryland
Contributed by Anne Braun, Dec 23, 2002 [firstname.lastname@example.com]. Total records = 19.
From the intersection of Highway 355 (Frederick Road) and Highway 109 (Old One Hundred Road) go west 1 mile until you reach Fire Tower Road turn south and go 1.5 miles on Fire Tower Road. The cemetery is on the south side of the road in the middle of a farmer's field.
The western part of Hyattstown is in Frederick County while the eastern part of Hyattstown is in Montgomery County.
It is a small family cemetery that contains the descendents of the Linthicum-McFresh Families. The earliest headstone was in 1808. Sadly, the cemetery is neglected with broken and fallen headstones plus wild plants and underbrush that is in the cemetery.
I walked this cemetery on Dec 21, 2002.

In 1956, before Title IV was passed in 1972, my twin sister Diane Strain McClelland and I were freshmen in high school when it was announced the school was forming a boys' tennis team. When we asked the administration if we could have a girls' tennis team, they told us "No, since we have intramurals." We told them, "No, we want to have an interscholastic team like the boys." So the administration thought about it, then came back to us and said, "If you can get 50 girls to turn out for the team, then it could justify to them a need for this team." We then took on this project with lots of energy by doing PA announcements and posters around the school that resulted in 60 girls turning out. With the turnout exceeding their requirement, they decided to allow the tryouts for two days. Diane and I did make the six-member team. After our team was formed, the athletic director had to reach out to other schools in the area to form girls teams so we would have teams to compete against. Even though the boys had nine interscholastic sports and us girls only had one, our team was the first to bring a state championship to the school. I was also fortunate to become the first varsity four-year letterwoman. When I got to college in 1961 and tried to start a girls' tennis team then, the administration resisted so it wasn't formed until later years. This experience was a turning point for both of us so we have spent most of our lives working to empower the downtrodden and in most recent years by helping to certify women-owned businesses in six states through a national certification program called WBENC. This certification is needed since there are a number of male-owned businesses that try to look like they are women-owned to gain the advantages in the marketplace. Our fight for equal rights continues and we try to enlighten the younger women to not take their freedom for granted and to get involved. We seek to make a difference every day.

One summer, when I was about 14 years old, my friend's family invited me to go to Florida with them on vacation. This would have been about 1967. On the drive down from Pennsylvania, we stopped at a small gas station in a rural area of Georgia. The gas station was pretty beat-up and worn down. On the porch, were three or four African American boys between the ages of 8 and 10 quietly sitting on a bench. My friend and I went in and bought a couple of Cokes. In those days, Coke came in a glass bottle and a deposit was required for the bottle. The idea being when you returned the bottle you got your deposit back. The soda pop company then sanitized and reused the bottles. We paid for our Cokes and noticed the owner of the gas station, who was white, didn't charge us a deposit. We asked him about the deposit. His response is something that has stayed with me for 45 years as vividly as if it had just happened. In the gruffest and meanest voice he said, "Those n... outside will pay it. They're lazy good for nothings and don't do nothing but collect welfare." We hurriedly left. Walking past the boys still sitting on the bench I thought, "This is unfair; why should they pay for us? And they're just boys." I also thought that we should have just left the money for the deposit on the counter and left, but he frightened us. I had never experienced blatant and just mean bigotry before. It shook me to my core. Once in the car, my friend and I repeated what happened to her parents. They explained discrimination and racial hatred to us. And in fact, the uncle's wife we were going to visit was routinely harassed in her community because she was German. She was called a Nazi and other nasty names; their property was spray-painted even though World War II had been over for two decades. While we continued our drive to Florida, that old man and his hatred for those little boys kept popping up in my head. I didn't get it. They were just little boys. Over the years when I think of that time, I'd wonder about the lives of those little boys. What didn't we see, if just asking what the deposit was on a bottle caused such a stir? I still do not get racial hatred.

My father was the most fascinating storyteller/historian I knew when I was a teenager in the 1960's in rural southeastern Ohio. Frequently, while watching the nightly national news about the civil rights movement and all that was taking place in the South (i.e. sit-ins, marches, voter registration, etc.), he would tell me and my siblings about his life experiences as a young boy growing up in Hazlehurst, Miss., during the 1920s, '30s, and '40s and as a man serving in the U.S. Navy during the 1940s and 1950s. I remember one particular time I asked him about how he got a somewhat small, but deep scar on the right side of his forehead. His answer was a simple, matter-of-fact one. He said a white man threw a rock at him. When I asked my father why, he said, "Because I was black." I don't know why his statement stuck with me through the years. I guess I thought he would tell me some dramatic background story to indicate why he had received such an obvious, permanent wound — but there wasn't any. The rock was thrown simply because he was black. The individual throwing the rock was a fully grown adult white man. My father was just a young black child of about age 10 that happened to be in his line of sight, and he took advantage of the opportunity to call him a derogatory name and show his disgust for this black child by throwing a rock. Another history lesson from my father was when he told me who could actually go to school. He said that to go to school in Mississippi during his childhood, that a black person had to be "light enough to show a blue vein", and then he proceeded to turn his arm over and showed me his wrist area. He held the palm of his hand forward, yet tight and said, "see this blue vein of mine — because you can see it, that means I was permitted to go to school" According to my dad, anyone not light enough to show a blue vein could only work in the fields. Also, his mother was a schoolteacher. At that time, if a black person had completed the eighth grade, they could teach. I was fascinated by this whole story.

How to Freeze Fruit
My local Sprouts had berries on sale. A great sale. We stocked up. Now what? Eat lots of berries every day all day? Naaaah. How about I freeze them?
Learn how to freeze fruit and get a delicious smoothie recipe as well.
Are you excited for Spring? Of course you are! I know that for many of you Spring has already sprung. Not so much in our area. But it's so close.
I am eager for Spring and all the beautiful flowers that will soon be popping up everywhere. In the mean time I made these permanent arrangements to tide me over until I can go out and pick the real thing.
Easy Crock pot Pernil
It was a cold and lazy Monday. I really wanted to do...nothing. But we still had to eat. So out came the crock pot. In went the pork shoulder and voila....
...moist and tasty Puerto Rican Pernil.
So in my last post I said I would share how I plan to keep all my lists organized and checked, checked, checked off.
Like many of you, I have tried different methods of keeping my life on track. There was...
* The " I only need one planner for all the different hats I wear" method.
* The "I will create a binder for each of my zillion different projects" system.
* Or the "Just give me a notepad and I'll just make lots of lists" technique.
Different methods work for different people, and there are so many choices out there. If you start researching goal achieving methods, planner styles, project binder ideas, you will soon see how many. TONS!
Today, I will share with you what I decided to try for 2015...
Ready, Set, Go... 2015
Here we are in 2015. Like me, I am sure you are all full of goals, plans, lists... you get the idea. Believe me, I understand. I have a few myself. Before getting in to how I plan to check as many things off several of my own lists, I want to reveal my word of the year.
This new word is full of meaning for me. Let me share my thoughts with you.
easy diy lip balm
The weather outside is chilly and my lips are kinda...parchy? Dry! My lips are dry! I can't stand it.
What to do about it? Run out and buy lip balm made of a long list of unpronounceable ingredients, one with more natural ingredients but with a high price tag, or, make my own.
I decided on choice #3. I will make my own.
It's another damp and gloomy day here. Ugh! I hope you are having more sun where you are.
Today, I decided to work on some organizing projects I have been wanting to tackle. As I worked on these projects I also came up with a few ways to reuse some packaging that would usually be thrown out. Maybe you could use some of these ideas in your home...
easy chain stitch scarf
HELLO EVERYONE!!! I am happy to be back after a week off. I hope you are all doing fabulously.
So I have several friends who don't crochet but would like to learn. I thought it would be encouraging to them to have a project they can make right from the beginning, using only chain stiches.
Maybe you would like to make one too...
time out & A rak
Hello my friends. I am just stopping by with a quick message to let you know that we will not be posting this week. We are taking some time off for some classes.
In the mean time here is an idea for you to try...
laundry sauce
Finally, I am making laundry sauce. I have wanted to try this for so long. Why? Because it is a space saver. I make my own powdered laundry soap and I like it. However, because I like to make it in large quantities I have to shuffle a large bin of laundry soap from one place to another because I really don't have the room for it in my little laundry nook.
Now all I have to store are these...
Would you like to make some with me?
Hello There,
Thank you for stopping by my creative hub. I am a long-time lover of all things made by hand, repurposing, crafting, cooking, decorating, traveling, reading, writing... So you can expect to find a little bit of everything over here.

I find it difficult to write in Jacks' diary anymore. He was so full of life, that it was easy before. He gave me so many options. Now, I can't even write as his voice. There are some cats who only notice you when they want food or belly rubs. They ignore you, scratch you when pick them up, look away from you with indifference... Jacks was not like that. He paid attention to everything. He had an intense stare, and he meowed at you when you returned his gaze. He was always aware when someone was sick. He, who preferred to sleep alone, followed you to bed and slept by your side in your sickness. We said he had healing powers. When he became very sick this winter, it was I that he sought out to sleep on, and I returned all those times of healing and comfort to him. And as he slept on my lap, I couldn't find the strength to let go, but he gave me the sense that he was at peace and ready to go. He was still giving me comfort when I thought I was the one comforting him. 13 years is a long time to share a life and then let it go. I miss him and his middle of the night yowling. I want to thank everyone who remembered Jacks on his birthday with gifts and photos. Heaven is even brighter now that Jacks is there. Happy Birthday, my friend.
Today, I held my friend's head when he took his last breath. It has taken me a long time to have the courage to let him go. He has been a member of the family for 13 years. He has grown up with the children. He was the one who slept with us when we were sick. He was an acrobat and a master hunter. He always responded in conversation when you said his name. He was never afraid to stare intensely at you without blinking or walking away. He occasionally stroked our faces softly with his paw. He liked to sit on our shoulders, and he was the loudest purrer in the house. He was named after the old children's game of jacks because he bounced around as a kitten like a rubber super ball. He has given us so much fun and laughter, and now he is gone. He made his quiet journey this morning at 11 a.m. I told him he lived a good life, and my heart broke into a million pieces. He left this world peacefully in a matter of moments, but his life will never be forgotten or erased from my heart. He was my good friend, and I'm sad we had to say goodbye. He will be FOREVER missed and loved. Goodbye, my Jacks.
A man knows how truly blessed he is when he sees the size of his friends hearts. Thank you, all my wonderful friends, for honoring me on my Daily Diary Pick with all the gifts, pawmails, comments, and photos. It has been a rough week, but my mom got her water back yesterday. The pipes eventually burst. We were all so happy that she got her shower and her house cleaned because she was singing and being silly. We especially love her when she's silly. During the ice imprisonment as we called it, we all had to huddle together to stay warm and keep our spirits up. I stayed very close to mom. I slept on her every night. She is really wanting me to stay around through Christmas. I haven't thrown up any water lately, and mom thinks your purrs have been helping me. So onward to Christmas, my friends! Thank you all so very much, and I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!

I just installed SeaMonkey, and though there are several threads describing how to manually import Firefox bookmarks, history, and passwords into SeaMonkey, I'm surprised to find that this is not something SeaMonkey attempts to do automatically. I'm further surprised that I'm not able to find any utility to do this either.
I'm sure I'll be able to manage by following the "how to" threads I found, but I think this is a feature that really needs to be added to SeaMonkey. Add to that wish the ability to automatically copy preferences, languages, and install add-ons when possible.
It's the knowledge of all the time and inconvenience that prevented me from switching to SeaMonkey until now. Had I not had this rare bit of spare time I probably still wouldn't have made the change and I'm sure I can't be the only person that feels this way. Making the switch from Firefox (and Internet Eplorer, Chrome, etc.) as painless as possible can only help to improve SeaMonkey's popularity.

E-government has also virtually disappeared from governors' State of the State speeches -- a far cry from just a few years ago when not talking about it meant announcing you were a political dinosaur. Columnist Tom Davies summed up the prevailing mood: "From the beginning, e-gov was never really on track to produce a revolution in state and local government performance."
The new conventional wisdom is just as wrong as the early e-government hype.
In researching my new book, Government 2.0: Using Technology to Improve Education, Cut Red Tape, Reduce Gridlock, and Enhance Democracy, I spent three years interviewing hundreds of government decision-makers and thought leaders. I became convinced of two things: First, today's technologies can play a crucial role in fixing modern government problems -- changing how we commute, pay our taxes, register our businesses and even how our kids learn. Second, none of this will happen without a fundamental change of thinking. While existing technologies give us power to transform everything from how businesses are regulated to how government protects citizens from terrorism, our thinking hasn't caught up with our tools. We're still trapped in an Industrial Age government mindset.
The failure to fully imagine how to best use new technologies is not unique to government or modern times. Throughout history there almost always has been a lag between the introduction of a new technology and its transformative use. Case in point: Centuries lapsed between the Alexandrian Greeks' invention of the steam engine and James Watt's brain wave in 1769 about what to do with it.
Government will never truly realize IT's transformative benefits until it rethinks and redesigns government systems, service delivery mechanisms and bureaucratic structures to reflect Information Age realities.
Government as Information Broker
Trying to decide which airline will get you to that important sales presentation on time? The U.S. Department of Transportation ranks airlines by on-time departure and arrival records, and posts the information on its Web site. Hoping to shave your monthly electricity bill by switching to a new supplier, but have no idea which to choose? The Texas Electric Choice Web site provides confused consumers of Texas' now deregulated electricity market with neutral information comparing rates, terms and conditions of all potential energy suppliers. Seeking the best nursing home for your aging mother? Medicare.gov publishes rankings of nursing homes throughout the country based on factors like nutrition, quality of life and quality of care.
As these examples demonstrate, governments can use the Web to help citizens make more informed decisions by distributing information they collect about both the public and private sectors. This is one of the most vital roles for government in a digital world: providing accurate, easy access to information. Governments usually collect this kind of information anyway. By making it widely available and packaging it in user-friendly ways, the public sector can facilitate markets, protect consumers and help citizens make important life decisions.
"Government used to view the information it occasionally collected as a means to some other goal: fixing a street or issuing a license," explained Harvard University Professor Stephen Goldsmith. "Information itself now is a product. In a complex society, the Internet facilitates government's role in aggregating and distributing information about access, quality and price."
One successful example of this is school report cards. State governments compile online report cards with data ranging from average test scores to dropout rates and class sizes. The report cards enable parents to make more informed choices about their

Sher & Blackwell LLP, AttorneysStanley O. Sher | Jan 12, 2009 12:31PM EST
The coming year brings an unusual number of potentially significant changes in the legal environment affecting container carriers. At the top of the list is the growing number of international (and U.S.) proposals designed to limit emissions from vessels. This issue will have great impact on the industry. Second, there is the European Commission's pending proposal to narrow the EU block exemption that shields carrier consortia from the applicability of EU competition laws.
A lesser-recognized but intriguing development is the emerging visibility of the Federal Maritime Commission. The low profile that the FMC had for a number of years is over. Last year, a House subcommittee held two hearings on the functioning of the FMC. The result was a scathing attack on the agency. Since these congressional hearings, and perhaps because of them, the agency has become more active and engaged.
At the close of 2008, the FMC, for the first time, filed an action in federal court seeking to enjoin certain aspects of an agreement filed with it. The agreement is one between the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles providing for a port truck-replacement program designed to improve air quality. The FMC challenged provisions in the agreement dealing with labor requirements and incentive fees, although it did not challenge the truck-replacement program itself.
Labor and environmental groups, strong supporters of the Obama administration, have criticized the FMC's action. It will be interesting to see whether this new FMC visibility will enhance its stature or simply make it a political target.
One common thread missing from these activities is the glaring lack of coordination between the economic and environmental regulators of shipping. In Europe, competition regulators are threatening efficiency in the name of competition at the same time environmental regulators seek greater efficiencies to curb emissions.
Although the FMC is not challenging the environmental protection components of the ports' clean-trucks program, that plan is nevertheless caught up in a regulatory system that is not designed to consider environmental regulations. Is this a regulatory system at odds with itself, or perhaps a system that has simply not set necessary priorities? That question needs an answer.

In phase of recovery since late 2011, the NIKKEI has reached a major long-term goal located near 10100/10150 points after an increase of over 20%.
The Japanese stock market has indeed benefited from monetary easing by the Bank of Japan. These actions combined with a notable resurgence in risk appetite in financial markets caused a sharp drop in the yen, which lost 5.6% against the dollar last month. This fall in the yen, which has lost some of its safe haven status, has led to a strong rebound in export values such as Sony and Nissan Motor.
Technically, the Japanese index maintains an upward trend in weekly data over the 9580 points and the 20-weeks moving average has significantly turned upward. The Japanese index is likely to be confronted with the very strong resistance area of 10 100 / 10 150 points, corresponding to the upper limit of a bearish-channel weekly drawn in blue on the chart.
We remain careful when approaching this area that would allow investors to take some profits. Only one crossing up of this area will give a new bullish signal for rally towards 10,500 points.
However, a lapse under the 9880 points will allow a consolidation toward 9580 points.

Stack stone retaining walls for a garden
If I am building several small retaining walls for my garden do I need to mortar them together? I want to use natural stone not block.
We have built at least 50 feet of stone wall in our gardens, no mortar. Most of our town has stone walls, some as tall as 6 feet, virtually none of them mortared. The key to building a solid, dry stacked stone wall is careful selection of the stones so they lock together. And the design is quite different if they are retaining soil versus walls that retain no soil.
Up to about 8 feet tall, the rule of thumb for dry stack stone retaining walls is that the base needs to be a minimum 40 percent as wide as the wall is tall. So a four foot high wall needs to be a minimum 1.6 feet wide at the base. Retaining walls over 4 feet high often require a permit, check with your building inspector.
Building dry stone walls is quite the art, and if you want to use large stones, you need to be pretty strong. Good luck, and enjoy.

Georges St-Pierre: "I hope Condit focuses on targeting my knee, its not a weak link
In all honesty, good to have you back GSP!
Does Condit really have slick striking?
Kicks to the knee seems to be the logical option, but hopefully he's had a full recovery and no excuses come out close to, or after, the fight.
I like Condit but he is gonna get smoked.
Even though he doesn't fight like Anderson I still enjoy his fights. It's actually very strategical.
Round 1 - strike, clinch
Round 2 - takedowns, gnp
Round 3 - strike + takedowns
Round 4 - All strikes
Round 5 - mix all
It confuses his opponents. He's a blue collar worker that has the capability to finish, but he opts to grind his way to victory. A more exciting version than Fitch nonetheless.
His rematch against Serra was his most important fight. This is his second imo.
A lot of people are talking about Condit's strategy to go after GSP's knee. If GSP's even close to what he was before the injury, all the talk is irrelevant. Condit doesn't have good takedown defense, and GSP is going to take him down at will. I expect this fight to look a lot like GSP v Dan Hardy did.
I'm also getting pretty weary of hearing GSP say that 'my toughest opponent' line EVERY time he fights. You want to respect your opponent, ok, I get it, but seriously, every time? Enough with that already.
I think there's something to the knee. Fighters ALWAYS threaten/dare their opponents to do what they know is their weak link. Bisping was afraid of Sonnen's takedowns so he said he'd tap him out if he tried to take him down. Overeem said the same thing about Lesnar. The list goes on and on. Fighters always pretend they have their bases covered with their weaknesses when they really don't.
GSP comes out, takes Condit down, lays on him for 5 rounds. Game over
Can't wait

When the BSF personnel were chasing smugglers last night, villagers of South Ramnagar attacked the border guards with lathis and choppers, BSF DIG B S Rawat said today. The BSF personnel initially fired in the air to disperse the mob and then opened fire in self defence in which a villager, Ismail Mia, was killed and ten persons were injured in the village two kilometre from the border, the DIG said.
"Our jawans opened fire in self defence in which one villager died and ten others were injured. In a retaliatory attack, one BSF jawan, Sandeep Kumar, was lynched by the local inhabitants," Rawat said. Superintendent of Police (Police Control) Uttam Bhowmick said "Ismail Mia died of bullet injuries.
So it is presumed that he was killing in firing by the BSF." Asked about the lynching of the BSF man, Bhowmick said "He had head injuries and cut marks on his body." West Tripura District Magistrate Abhishek Singh, who visited the area, said a magisterial level inquiry was ordered into the incident. "The result would be known after the inquiry is over. Stern action would be taken if anybody is found guilty. No one will be spared," Singh told PTI.

Jan. 21, 2010
NEW YORK - American women's pole vault record holder Jenn (Stuczynski) Suhr and the 2004 Olympic men's pole vault gold medalist, former University of Tennessee standout Tim Mack, will attempt to reach new heights at the 103rd Millrose Games at Madison Square Garden.
Suhr will compete for the first time since pulling out of the 2009 World Championships, and Mack will be in search of his first Millrose victory when they take the stage on Friday, January 29, Millrose organizers announced Tuesday.
The Millrose Games is the first stop of USA Track & Field's Visa Championship Series. The longest-running annual event held at The Garden and one of the best indoor track and field meets in the world, The Millrose Games features some of America's and the world's top track and field talent. The meet will be televised live on January 29 on ESPN2 from 8-10 p.m. Eastern Time.
The American pole vaulting queen and 2008 Olympic Games and World Indoor silver medalist, Jenn Suhr easily captured her fourth #1 U.S. ranking by Track & Field News in as many years even though she had to pull out of the World Championships due to an Achilles injury. Better than ever in 2010, and with a new last name thanks to her marriage to coach Rick Suhr, Jenn looks to turn back upstart Chelsea Johnson, who won the silver medal at the 2009 World Outdoor Championships in Berlin, when they meet in the Garden. The 2006 NCAA champion, Johnson earned her first top-ten world ranking when she finished her 2009 season ranked #9 by T&FN. Suhr finished out the year ranked #8 in the world.
The 2004 Olympic Games gold medalist who also won the men's pole vault at that year's Olympic Trials, Mack has been remarkably consistent throughout his career, having been ranked in the top ten in the U.S. in the men's pole vault the last nine years in a row. Also a two-time World Outdoor Championships team member, Mack will face 2008 Olympic Games fourth-place finisher and two-time Millrose winner Derek Miles, who ended his 2009 campaign ranked #5 in the world. France's Renaud Lavillenie, the 2009 World Outdoor bronze medalist, will also be in the mix.
Mack was a three-time All-American for the Vols in 1994 and 1995, winning the 1995 NCAA and SEC Indoor titles for the Big Orange.
Another former Vol, Willie Gault, is slated to be among those running in the "Super 60" during the meet's 103rd edition. His competition includes former NFL stars Tim Dwight and David Tyree.
Gault won a bronze medal in the 110 hurdles at the 1983 world championships and a Super Bowl title with the Chicago Bears. At 49, he holds masters world records in his age group in the 100 and 200.
While at UT, he doubled as a game-breaking split end on the gridiron and was an 11-time All-American on the oval. His escapades on the track included winning NCAA Indoor crowns in the 60-yard dash and 60-yard hurdles in 1983 and running on UT's victorious 4x100m relay unit at the NCAA Outdoor meet that season.

DETECTIVES looking for missing Matthew Jordan have released newly-uncovered CCTV footage which shows a mystery man walking in the churchyard close to where the 20-year-old was last seen.
The man, who police say could be a possible witness, is seen walking along a path in St Martin's Church, Bowness, at 12.54am.
He then retraces his footsteps seconds later as someone stands in a doorway of a business opposite.
The CCTV images show the man walk through the grounds of the church and out of shot - only to return just over 10 seconds later walking in the direction he originally came from.
Police said this is only 10 minutes after Matthew's last confirmed sighting at 12.44am.
The church pathway is close to the Stag's Head Inn where 20-year-old Matthew Jordan was last seen after splitting up from his friends at around 12.30am on Thursday March 27.

- Community celebrates £50,000 grant towards new play area
- The Gazette launches Support The Food Banks campaign as referrals soar
- Kendal man spared jail for 'horrific' domestic attack
Detective Chief Inspector Bob Qazi said today: "The CCTV images show a male walking though the church yard next to the pub near to the pub that Matthew and his friends were at.
"We would like to speak to this man in the hope that he may have information on where Matthew went after leaving the pub for the second time.
"I'd also ask that if there is anyone who may have seen a person matching Matthew's description in the early hours of 27th March to get in touch."
Matthew is described as 6ft tall, of medium build, with dark brown hair. He was last seen wearing a navy long sleeved shirt, jeans and grey pull up boots.
Anyone with any information about Matthew or the man pictured in the CCTV footage is asked to contact Cumbria Police on 101 as soon as possible and ask for the duty sergeant at Windermere.

Beef and Mushroom Stew
- Servings: 6
- 2 1/2 pounds beef-stew meat, cut into 1 1/2- to 2-inch cubes
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons olive oil, plus more if necessary
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 2 1/2 cups homemade or low-sodium canned beef stock
- 8 ounces pearl onions, peeled
- 1 cup canned whole plum tomatoes, crushed
- 5 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 12 ounces white button mushrooms, quartered if large
Pat the cubed meat dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Toss the meat in flour.
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Add half the meat in a single layer without crowding, and brown on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove meat from pot, and transfer to a bowl. Add 1/3 cup of wine, and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping any browned bits on the bottom of the pan (if wine evaporates too quickly to scrape up browned bits, add some stock). Transfer cooking liquid to bowl with meat. Wipe pot clean, and repeat process with remaining meat.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in Dutch oven, and add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden all over, about 3 minutes.
Deglaze pan with remaining 1/3 cup wine, and return reserved beef and cooking liquid to pot. Add stock and tomatoes; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook, covered, for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Add carrots and mushrooms. Cook, covered, until meat and vegetables are tender, 45 to 50 minutes.

|Sesame Street
|Slimey goes into space
|Air date
|January 14, 1998
|Season 29 (1997-1998)
|Big Bird finishes a phone call by thanking the person on the other end of the line for helping him to spell aardvark. He lists today's sponsors, and tells the audience that today they're going to see Slimey and four other worms get into a spaceship headed for the moon.
|Everyone on Sesame Street (including Maria, Luis, Big Bird, Snuffy, Herry Monster, Telly, Elmo, Zoe, Rosita, Tarah, John Tartaglia, Ruthie, Gina, Gordon, Susan, Miles, Lexine, a Honker and various other residents) has gathered in front of the courtyard for the space shuttle launch.
|The training officer from WASA addresses the crowd to commemorate the historic occasion and introduces the five worms who make up the crew of the space mission: Spaghettini from Italy, Squishta from Romania, Squashimi from Japan, Legusano from Colombia and Slimey from Sesame Street. To define their mission, the training officer shows an animated film illustrating what will happen on their trip.
|Opening up the floor for questions, Telly wants to be clear on what's going on: these five very brave, very smart, very cute little worms are going to get into a tin can-looking thing, lift off the ground and go up, up, up as high as you can get. His rather excitedly posed question is, WHY? Why would anyone want to do this? The training officer launches into an inspirational speech about doing it because it's there, because they want to explore space and the moon. To explore means that they're going to travel into space and land on the moon to see what it's like. The training officer says that they're going to be gone for many weeks. This again sparks Oscar's previous concerns about how long Slimey's not going to be with him.

|The mission control announcer (Jerry Nelson) comes over the loudspeaker to announce that the team is getting ready to board the ship. Oscar is adamant about Slimey not leaving until he's sure that his worm has everything he's going to need in space. He gets to see inside the ship and accounts for chairs with seatbelts, beds to sleep in, freeze-dried pizza, a library of books and a bowling alley. Oscar notes that they don't have any water wings packed, but he's told that there's no water on the moon and no pool in the ship. Appalled, Oscar decides that Slimey's not going if he can't swim.
|Maria interjects because she recognizes that Oscar is making excuses for how sad he's going to feel with Slimey gone for such a long time. She convinces him that he wants Slimey to go to the moon more than he doesn't want him to go. Maria assures Oscar that Slimey will be back before he knows it. Oscar realizes how selfish he's being and agrees to let Slime go to the Moon. Mission control announces a final inspection of the spaceship before boarding.

|As the inspection crew readies the ship for take-off, it's time for the families to say goodbye to the astronauts. Dusty and Eartha hug their son and Sloppy says goodbye to her big brother. Oscar gives Slimey a tiny framed photo of himself so that he doesn't forget him, and Slimey gives him a large portrait of himself. They kiss, and Slimey boards the ship.

|The time for the countdown to lift-off has come. The training officer makes sure the worms are in lift-off position, and the WASA countdown specialist is called in to count down from 10 to 0. The Count is very proud to be a part of this noble project (he's proud to be a part of anything that lets him count in any way). As he counts down, the shuttle smokes and shakes, but does not achieve lift-off. The training officer assures everyone that the highly trained worm technicians are going to find out what went wrong. Oscar can't stand the suspense!

|After the worm technicians finish fixing an oscillator that was not oscillating, it's time for the countdown again. The Count is hopeful that it will not work so he can count down from 10 once more.
|On the second countdown attempt, the ship smokes and shakes, but still doesn't seem to have enough power. It looks like Slimey won't be leaving after all. Concurrently, the smoke is making Snuffy sneezy. He huffs and puffs and finally lets out a huge sneeze that sends the ship rocketing into the air, giving it the boost it needed. Everyone waves goodbye to Slimey as the ship leaves Sesame Street.
|As the ship takes off, a farmer arrives and sees that his chicken was on that ship. Indeed, it is the same Selma Worm that had tried out at WASA days before.
| As the ship leaves the Earth's atmosphere, the announcer orates their mission in a direct take-off from Star Trek. It is at this time that the name of the ship is revealed: the Wiggleprise.
Fittingly, the announcer also mentions the sponsors.

Train managers and supervisors: No age-related comments! None. A simple sentence might not form the entire basis for an age discrimination lawsuit, but it can add fuel to an otherwise-smoldering case.
Recent case: Kas Gaigalas was the top pharmaceuticals salesperson in his office for years. He got stellar reviews and frequent promotions, plus he was called on to train other salespeople. He was also older than 40.
Then a new manager arrived. She implemented a new sales program, which Gaigalas thought was inefficient and possibly illegal. He feared it encouraged salespeople to improperly cite studies and make comparisons as they sought to make sales.
When Gaigalas complained, the manager became exasperated and exclaimed, "Why are all the older guys having a problem with the sales model?" She began hounding Gaigalas about his sales even though he continued to sell the most. Finally, she put him on an improvement plan and downgraded his performance review. Ultimately, she fired him.
Gaigalas alleged age discrimination under Michigan's Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act and the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act. He pointed out that only older salespeople were put on improvement plans, and that a much younger salesperson replaced him.
The court refused to dismiss the case and saw the "older guys" comment as evidence of possible age discrimination. (Gaigalas v. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, No. 1:06-CV-105, WD MI, 2007)

Arsène Wenger does not believe there is a personal problem between Emmanuel Adebayor and Nicklas Bendtner.
The relationship between the two Arsenal strikers had been under the spotlight ever since they briefly clashed in the Carling Cup Semi-Final second leg at Tottenham. Some observers have seized on certain events in the recent draws against Birmingham and Aston Villa as further evidence of a rift.
Wenger describes their relationship as "normal" but argues that, in any case, the team always take precedence over the individual at a football club.
"Frankly I don't know [how they get on]," he said. "I haven't seen any evidence that there is big friction there. There was one incident at Tottenham but they sorted it out.
"I believe they have a normal relationship but what is the most important thing in football is that you respect the game. You do what the game demands.
"The great players always do what the game wants. If I want to win and to win I have to give you the ball then if I'm a great player I still give you the ball.
"I don't know if they like each other or not but basically I don't see there is a problem. You don't have to be friends to play well together.
"For me the emotional sympathy is not a big importance for the big players. They are winners and they respect the game so much it goes above liking or disliking.
"You have issues like this in every team but I think they get on quite well. But once the suspicion is in people's heads they look at every single movement to see if there is a problem or not.
"But here I don't think there is one."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

What does 2,000 calories a day look like?
By Brierley Wright, M.S., R.D., June 17, 2011 - 2:06pm
That actually is a lot of food. I should eat no more than 1500 calories if I want to lose some weight. When I get serious about losing weight I try to stay between 1200 and 1400.

So I looked at the page and it did not tell me what a 2000 calorie diet really looked like? Please help. People stare at me and make rude hurtful comments so I do not eat. I eat close to 600 calories or less a day and was told not told that, that my body is in starvation mode and I need to eat 1500-2000 calories, eek.... that is a lot of food and eating is not a great feeling because I am fat (280lbs). I was told if i ate 6 small meals a day instead of a meal every other day, or every day depending on if I feel hungry I would start dropping weight.

I'm a fifty year old male 6'1" and 225 pounds, I work out 4-times a week plus I play golf once a week and racquetball at least once a week as well. My question is this, my diet in normally very good a shake in the morning of 1-cup raw spinach, 2 ounces of non-fat Greek Yogurt, 1 cup of frozen berry mix, 1 ounce of walnuts, maybe a small banana, 1 ounce of milled flax, 1 cup of oats, 1 scoop of muscle milk protein powder and 20 or so ice cubes Lunch is a salad or small sandwich, bowl of soup. Snack is hummis of cheese and a few crackers. Dinner is chicken or fish and a steak once o week or so. I also have a cocktail (no beer or wine due to allergies) or two at night.
The last few weeks my weight has gone up from 220 to 225, they only thing I've changed is I'm lifting heaver weights. Any suggestion on the diet.

Can I paint over Minwax polycrylic
Can I paint over minwax polycrylic with spray paint? Do I need a primer or can I just go over it with spray enamel?
I would almost recommend not doing it. It might be just fine seing as how spray oil enamel will stick to just about anything, but you are making a transition from a latex/water based fiish to an oil base.
Clean, dry and dull.
i would sand a little, prime with S-W PrepRite Bonding Primer and stick with acrylic. after all, they are phasing out alkyd paints. in many states you can only get alkyds for corrosion resistance.
Do they make acrylic or latex spray paint? All the ones I see at Lowes or Home Depot are oil based spray paints.
they do make acrylic spray paints. spray paint is exempt from most VOC regulations.
Polycrilic is a waterbourne product, you never want to use an oil product over a waterbourne, it causes a lot of problems, but it is ok to use a waterbourne pruct over oil. You should sand the surface first(lightly), clean the surface, prime the surface with a waterbourne product(100% acrylic), then apply your top coat using a waterbourne product, some waterbourne products are not 100% acrylic. Visit us on the web to read about the benefits of 100% acrylics
