Lobos Earn Split With No. 10 Arkanas
April 9, 2013
Complete Box: Lobos 3, No. 10 Arkansas 0 (Game one)
Complete Box: Lobos 3, No. 10 Arkansas 4 (Game two)
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of New Mexico baseball team split a doubleheader with 10th-ranked Arkansas Tuesday. The Lobos (17-16) shut out the Razorbacks (24-10) 3-0 in game one, before Arkansas rallied for a 4-3, walk-off victory in the nightcap.
Drew Bridges (2-1) was spectacular for the second straight start as he went 5 1/3 innings in game one. Josh Walker pitched the final 3 2/3 innings to secure the shutout and get his sixth save.
In game two the Lobos quickly jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second, but Arkansas scored runs in the second, fourth, and fifth to tie it. UNM was held without a hit after the fifth and the Razorbacks won the game on a two-out, bases-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth.
Josh Melendez led the Lobos offensively in both games. He finished the day 5-for-9 with a double and a run.
Game one
The story of the first game was the work of the two Lobo pitchers. Bridges, a freshman who originally came to UNM as a shortstop, was even better Tuesday than he was against Texas Tech last week when he earned his first career win. He went a career-long 5 1/3 innings, allowed only three hits and one walk while striking out three and throwing 63 of his 101 pitches for strikes.
Over his last two starts he has only allowed two runs on five hits – all singles – and three walks. He has six strikeouts and three of the hits he has allowed did not leave the infield.
Walker picked up his second straight multi-inning save. He threw the final three innings in Friday's 11-5 win at Air Force and went even longer Tuesday. As always he was around the strike zone as he threw 43 of his 61 pitches for strikes. He allowed three hits and a walk and struck out two.
On a day when a stiff breeze was blowing straight in from right-center field, the Lobo offense had its work cut out for it against the vaunted Razorback pitching staff. But while their two righties on the mound held Arkansas scoreless, UNM slowly cracked through.
Arkansas came into the day with an NCAA-leading 1.59 staff ERA and actually lowered it in game one because UNM scored three unearned runs. The Lobos struck for one in the first, one in the third and one in the fifth to give their pitchers all the support they'd need.
In the first the Lobos got on the board without the benefit of a hit. With one out Sam Haggerty reached on an error. DJ Peterson followed with a walk and, one batter later, so did Alex Real to load the bases. A wild pitch allowed Haggerty to come across with the game's first run.
In the third Haggerty once again got a rally started as he led off with an infield single. He advanced to second on a throwing error and then moved to third on a single by Peterson. Mitch Garver followed with an RBI groundout to increase UNM's lead to 2-0.
In the fifth Chase Harris led off and was hit by a pitch. Haggerty was also hit by a pitch to put two men on for Peterson. The All-American smashed one under the glove of the Razorback third baseman for an error as Harris came around from second and slid in safely just ahead of the throw from left.
That made the score 3-0 but the final difference could have been much larger. The Lobos left 14 men on base, including the bases loaded in both the sixth and seventh innings, but it didn't matter due to the fine work of Bridges and Walker.
Bridges was so good he only allowed one runner past first base while Walker only allowed one baserunner in the seventh through ninth innings.
Melendez finished game one 3-for-5 and Haggerty was 1-for-3 with two runs.
Game two
The nightcap started much the same way for UNM as the Lobos jumped out to a quick lead in support of freshman righty Taylor Duree, who was making his first career start.
In the first Harris walked and stole second. He was picked off second but a throwing error while he was in a rundown allowed him to advance to third. With one out Peterson singled through the left side to give UNM a 1-0 first-inning lead.
In the second Melendez led off with a single. Alex Allbritton followed and he reached on an error, which sent Melendez to second. Logan Lippert, getting his first start of the season, executed a perfect sacrifice bunt to advance both runners a base.
Jared Holley followed with a single through the hole between third and short to score Melendez, and Allbritton scored on a sacrifice fly by Harris.
That would be all the Lobos could muster in game two, though, as the Arkansas pitching staff showed why it leads the nation in ERA.
The Razorback offense also finally came to life. Arkansas scored single runs in the second, fourth and fifth innings off three different pitchers to tie the game.
After that, however, both teams traded zeroes. UNM, though, could not manage a hit after the fifth and the Razorbacks finally came through with a run in the ninth.
Two singles, an error and an intentional walk loaded the bases with only one out against McClain. The senior battled back, though, and struck out the next batter on three pitches for the second out of the inning. The next batter, Jacob Mahan, worked the count to 1-1 before lacing a pitch back up the middle give Arkansas the walk-off win.
It was the sole run allowed by McClain in 2 1/3 innings. He struck out three and allowed three hits, all in the ninth.
Melendez and Alex Real both went 2-for-4 and Peterson finished 1-for-3 with an RBI. The other Lobo hit belonged to Holley.
The Lobos return home to Mountain West play this weekend as they host Fresno St. for a three-game set. UNM remains in first place in the conference and it will look to win its fifth-consecutive series to open the MW season. Friday's game is Pack the Park day at Lobo Field. All fans will receive a ticket for only $2 with first pitch scheduled for 3:05 p.m.
All three games will be broadcast live on ESPN Radio 101.7 The Team with Robert Portnoy providing the play-by-play.
Notes: Holley was hit by a pitch in game one for the MW-leading 13th time this season, which is as many as Ryan Padilla had all last season to lead the Lobos … Allbritton was 0-for-4 in game one as he saw his career-best 12-game hitting streak come to an end … senior Gabe Aguilar pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings of relief in game two … the Lobos walked nine times and were hit by three pitches over the doubleheader … Holley (five) and Haggerty (four) were the only Lobos to record assists in the field in game one … Saturday is Jersey Day at Lobo Field and any fan wearing a jersey will receive a ticket for $3.

Analysis: Canadian housing - bursting bubble or gentle landing?
By Andrea Hopkins
TORONTO (Reuters) - It's looking like an unsettling spring in Canadian housing, a market that has proven far more even-keeled and less scary for investors in recent years than in the United States.
In what is traditionally the best season of the year for real estate agents, Toronto agent Ecko Jay says the industry is seeing far fewer buyers, a result of tighter lending rules, high prices and fear of a bubble. In Toronto alone, sales dropped 40 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier, making homeowners and investors jumpy.
"Some people want to cash in and pull out now," said Jay, a 26-year veteran of the Toronto housing market, noting some are spooked by worst-case predictions of a 20 percent drop in prices from current levels.
"They say, 'Before it gets low, let's sell,'" Jay added. "And some of my clients want to sell and rent, hoping that when it goes down they will pick up something at a better price. Nobody has a crystal ball."
But then there are Canadian policymakers, economists and market watchers who have the next best thing to a crystal ball. Their data and analysis point not to a bursting of the bubble like in the United States in 2007-08, when prices from peak to trough dropped 35 percent, but rather a gentle easing in Canadian housing prices, or perhaps just a momentary pause.
Naysayers believe Canada may be too optimistic and relying heavily on that old saw that Canada is not nearly as reckless as the United States. After all, the debt-to-income ratio of Canadians is at a record high, close to the levels experienced in the United States before its market crashed, and home ownership is at nearly 70 percent, also a record and five points more than its neighbors to the south.
But Canada does have some things going for it, most notably a move by the government to tighten mortgage lending rules four times in five years, most recently in July 2012, which has taken some buyers out of the market, dampening demand.
"If you look at the developments over the last year in Canada and compare them to the situation in the U.S. before the crisis, there is a clear difference," said Julien Reynaud, an economist at the International Monetary Fund who follows Canada. Continued...

I now have more options. I have mixed feelings about getting rid of a weapon that has been 100% reliable. The Khar CM9 is certainly a much better looking weapon. The Berette Nano also comes to mind. Am I going to regret giving up my PF9 just because I dont like the way it looks and the slide rattles? Thank you for your thoughts

Ben wrote:I'm not aware of a 'Buddhist' bracelet.
But before Tiger moves on there's one more apology he really should make, and that's to Buddha, for dragging him into this mess and proving once again, that whenever something unspeakably tawdry, loathsome and cheap happens, just wait a few days. Religion will make it worse.
Now usually, when famous cheaters are looking for public redemption, they go to Jesus, but Tiger went old school, and claimed that sleeping with 2/3 of the waitresses in America had made him a failure as a Buddhist. He said Buddhism teaches you the way to inner peace is letting go of desire - and if that doesn't sound like marriage, I don't know what does.
Personally, if I was a golfer, I'd go with Jesus - because he's a Trinity, so when you walk with him, you've got a foursome. Christianity is for rubes. Buddhism is for actors.
And it really is outdated in some ways - the "Life sucks, and then you die" philosophy was useful when Buddha came up with it around 500 B.C., because back then life pretty much sucked, and then you died - but now we have medicine, and plenty of food, and iPhones, and James Cameron movies - our life isn't all about suffering anymore. And when we do suffer, instead of accepting it we try to alleviate it.
Tiger said, "Buddhism teaches that a craving for things outside ourselves" makes us unhappy, which confirms something I've long suspected about Eastern religions: they're a crock, too.
Craving for things outside ourselves is what makes life life - I don't want to learn to not want, that's what people in prison have to do. Buddhism teaches suffering is inevitable. The only thing that's inevitable is that if you have fake boobs and hair extensions, Tiger Woods will try to f**** you.
And reincarnation? Really? If that were real, wouldn't there be some proof by now? A raccoon spelling out in acorns, "My name is Herb Zoller and I'm an accountant." ...something?
People are always debating, is Buddhism a religion or a philosophy: it's a religion. You're a religion if you do something as weird as when the Buddhist monks scrutinize two-year-olds to find the reincarnation of the dude who just died, and then choose one of the toddlers as the sacred Lama: "His poop is royal!" Sorry, but thinking you can look at a babbling, barely-housebroken, uneducated being and say, "That's our leader" doesn't make you enlightened. It makes you a Sarah Palin supporter.

Somehow, I think it might be a case of casting a pearl into the pig sty.
I noted on Maher's blog on the Huffington Post site generated over 1,000 comments. I would be surprised if Maher was genuinely interested in an alternative point of view rather than what appears to be the intended purpose of generating interest in his blog and traffic to Huffington Post (or his other blogspot).
I did however see one old e-sangha member post on Maher's HP site which was interesting.
But nice effort David. If you gave one person there pause for thought - it will have been a worthwhile effort.

His desire is to show the wonders of God's creation to those who are exposed to his art. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:Romans 1:20

Son-in-law defends China's 'orphan saviour' over property ownership
The son-in-law of China's controversial "orphan saviour", Yuan Lihai, denied allegations on Tuesday made by a recent magazine report that said Yuan owned at least 20 properties.
"I am willing to disclose our assets," he said. "I am willing to disclose the colour of my underpants if that's what it takes."
Guo Haiyang, the son-in-law, said he had found a lawyer and planned to sue the magazine for libel.
Guo, who said all the Yuan family wanted was to return to a peaceful life, published a 2,000-word statement on China's Twitter-like service Sina Weibo on Tuesday, firing back at the magazine allegations that had raised eyebrows and shaken Yuan's supporters across the country.
Yuan became the focus of media attention after her unlicensed orphanage in Lankao, Henan province, caught fire in January and seven children died. Some hailed her as a hero amid what they called inadequate support services for children in China. Yuan later pledged to stop adopting abandoned children after being accused by critics that she had taken in children to turn a profit.
"China's orphan saviour devastated by deadly fire", Video by Wu Nan
The report published by a Beijing-based, less-known ViP Weekly magazine this week contended that contrary to what Yuan had said about her economic hardships, she was a powerful and wealthy businesswoman who owned at least 20 properties in Lankao.
Among its numerous allegations, the report said Yuan had invested 450,000 yuan (HK$560,000) in an illegal building which had just been dismantled by local government. Guo later denied Yuan had invested any money.
Scrutinising Yuan's child care, the report said she had discriminated disabled children against healthier ones, leaving them with inadequate care and even neglecting them.
Fighting back at the allegations one by one, Guo listed all the properties Yuan owned. He said that instead of the 20 properties the magazine had reported, Yuan owned only four flats. She had acquired some of these properties from a land seizure compensation scheme, self-purchase and donations.
The total area of Yuan's four apartments adds up to 360 sq m, said Guo.
Guo also defended how Yuan handled her orphans. She gave the healthier children away because nobody wanted to adopt disabled children, he said.
The son-in-law acknowledged that Yuan had earned some money working as a mediator and saleswoman for businesses and developers. But she did it only to make a living, he said, as the business "partners" cashed in on her local "celebrity" status.
"She has to find a way to feed the children," Guo said. "She can't just wait for donations at home all day."
The magazine report sparked heated debate online. Some said it balanced out previous reports that seemed overwhelmingly in Yuan's favour. But many readers remained sceptcal because many sources in the story were unnamed, and some allegations appeared to come from rumours.

This is truly a home to relax and enjoy your vacation, away from the busyness of the city, yet close enough to enjoy the highlights of Marquette and natural beauty of Big Bay.
There is plenty of room and all the amenities of home. Lake Independence is only a mile away and is known for its perch, walleye and northern pike. McKenzie Bay offers solitude and fun catching perch or pike - when the ice is thick enough.
This lovely setting was the perfect place to undo the stresses of our busy lives in hot St Louis. We appreciate your prompt attention to our requests.
Thank You
We love this place it is our second stay.
We love all there is to do Big Bay and Marquette s well!!
Wonderful place, with everything you need, plus a paddle boat for the lake
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Big Bay. The Cottage was so clean and comfortable. When staying in this rental you feel like you know the entire Wilcox family history. Lots of special touches on the home. We will be back. Thanks for your hospitality. Loved It!!
We picked this property because of its location. The property is on its own private little lake adjacent to Lake Independence and oh so close to Lake Superior. We enjoyed the huge backyard, the screened in back porch, the walk out to the lake, the row boat, the playful otters, the curious chipmunks, and the numerous birds. The house is good sized with very comfortable beds. Plenty of places to get together as a group and yet steal away in a quiet corner with a book as well. It was just the two of us but you could definitely bring a large family and not trip over one another.
Even though we decided not to cook our own meals and instead made use of the Cafe, Inn, and Tavern just minutes away, I can tell you the kitchen definitely was well supplied. We personally loved the Hungry Hollow Cafe. Great food. Great people.
It was in the upper 80s when we arrived but the house was cool just using the one air conditioning unit. Opening the windows at night meant we didn't need the ac at all. It was great to take coffee out on the porch in the mornings and cuddle up in a blanket. The breeze was awesome.
Even though you are just off the road and there are technically neighbors on each side of you, we really didn't notice because it was quiet most of the time.
There is so much "free stuff" to do close to the property. We went to Alder Falls and Big Pup Falls and had both of them to ourselves! We went to Thomas Rock Scenic Overlook for beautiful views of Big Bay, Lake Independence, and Lake Superior. We also visited a great park on Lake Superior in Marquette.
We did spend some money on a couple adventures. We took a sunset cruise from Munising on Lake Superior to see Pictured Ricks National Seashore ($80 but it was well worth the view). We took a tour of the Big Bay Lighthouse ($6 for both of us, best views ever, definitely recommend).
We would love to go back to the UP and would definitely like to stay here again. It really made our vacation perfect.
Thanks ladies!
Deb Davis
My friends and I stayed here for 3 nights and we had a great time. The place was very clean and comfortable. The house had everything: tv, internet, fire place, bedding, towels, dinnerware, you name it. Close enough to UP attractions for an easy drive. Fishing on the little lake was pretty good. We caught perch and pike from the little row boat. Would recommend to anyone.
Thomas' Rock offers a universally accessible view of Lake Independence, Lake Superior and surrounding country side. Beautiful view!

Med Sci Monit 2005; 11(10): CR457-461
Background:The aim was to determine whether the increasing age-standardized incidence of malignant melanoma of the skin in some countries can be explained by a suddenly imposed environmental stress to the whole population.Material/Methods:Incidence data were retrieved from the cancer registries of the USA and four Nordic countries. A four-parameter incidence model was developed and its parameters were varied to optimally fit age-standardized data from the investigated countries. Two parameters were used for a log-normally distributed exposure time to illness; the other two were the starting year for the imposed exposure and the critical age (age at which the exposure starts having an effect on incidence). Reported age-specific incidence data from the investigated countries were also analyzed to see at what age melanoma of the skin actually starts to occur.Results:Similar parameters for exposure time to illness were calculated for all five countries. The staring year was found to be 1967 for the USA, while for the Nordic countries it ranged between 1953 to 1955. The modeled critical age for all countries varied from 13 to 18 years; the actual average critical age was found to be 14.3 years for the investigated countries analyzed based on reported age-specific data.Conclusions:An environmental stress suddenly imposed in the mid-1950s for the Nordic countries and in the late 1960s for the USA, affecting people from 13 years of age and above, can mathematically explain the age-specific pattern for melanoma of the skin noticed in the investigated countries.

You've all heard of Corn Flakes.
Then there was Frosted Flakes.
Then, they made Flutie Flakes.
Now…there's Gronk Flakes. Seriously.
Not that Rob Gronkowski is a flake or anything (OK, he is), but this presumably delicious cereal can be yours! The cereal will be sold at Stop & Shop and online at plbsports.com.
I plan on buying a box if I can find it. If so, I'll report back. In the meantime, have you had the cereal?
Tags: Gronk, Gronk Flakes, Patriots, Rob Gronkowski
My husband and I bought a case of Gronk Flakes to donate to the Patriots' "Celebrate Volunteerism Food Drive," which will be held at Gillette Stadiium during the Colts game on November 18th.
Hope everybody out there will join us by donating to help make it a success!
Besides game day donation boxes, there will be boxes in the Pro Shop and the corporate offices the week before.

This series with Christy from Watched series. Christy is now a spy the youngest one. This is her first mission to get kidnapped. She has to get in with Adrenaline group. Someone is kidnapping groups of eight kids. Never to be seen again.
This has a lot more violence, kids doing stupid things. One part was rough to read. Lots of action, drama, high school relationships, danger and characters you want to see get safe.
Jeremy is Christy's handler. She feels safe with him watching her back.
This school has two group of Adrenaline kids in it. She believes it is the other group that will be kidnapped over the one she is assigned too get close to. Her spy parents don't trust her because she is so young.

If you head over to FOSSPatents this morning, you'll find a rather lengthy article about Google's acquisition of Motorola that ends with the following conclusion:
Google bought MMI to prevent the worst for Google's strategy, not to make things better for everyone else.
In a way, the $12.5 billion price represents protection money. But not in the way most people seem to think.
This statement is obviously contrary to the heaps of coverage the Motorola-Google deal received from major news outlets, blogs, and Android enthusiasts.Read More
A recent report from ComScore indicates that as of July 2011 82 million Americans own smartphones, with Android running on 41.8% of those devices, iOS on 27%, BlackBerry OS on 21.7%, Windows Phone on 5.7%, and Symbian on 1.9%.
The survey clearly indicates that significant gains have been made by Google and Apple at the expense of RIM, Microsoft, and Nokia.
Additionally, the survey also looked at the market share of hardware manufacturers and interestingly Samsung was well ahead of the rest with 25.5% market share.Read More
In case you thought Android's extremely fast-paced growth was being exaggerated, comScore's latest report on mobile market share might just convince you otherwise: From December 2010 to March 2011, Android not only kept its first place position among mobile platforms in the US, but it shot up 6 percentage points - far greater than all other platforms.
In fact, the only other platform that had growth was - predictably - iOS, with a 0.5 point increase.Read More
It's no secret that RIM (Research In Motion) has been dipping their figurative toes in the Android water lately, and it looks like running Android apps on the Blackberry Playbook was just the beginning. RIM plans to bring Blackberry Enterprise Solution to both Android and iOS, further helping businesses manage their wireless infrastructure and security.
Once it's released, network administrators will be able to handle a lot of the mobile grind remotely - everything from activation and software updates, to resetting passwords and wiping devices - all over the air.Read More
NielsenWire has released yet another one of their bar and pie chart-filled smartphone surveys for the US this morning, and it's just more good news for Android. Here's a quick breakdown of some of the key stats Nielsen compiled:
Some combinations are as natural as peanut butter and jelly - Avatar & 3D, Apple & dictatorship, and Conan O'Brien & late-night comedy, to name a few. But are Android apps and the BlackBerry PlayBook also such a sweet match? If you ask RIM, the answer is a firm, definitive "yes."
The BlackBerry maker just confirmed the age-old rumors - it's announced that the upcoming QNX-based PlayBook tablet will support Android apps.Read More
About 2 weeks ago, BGR broke the rumor of RIM's upcoming tablet, the BlackBerry PlayBook, possibly being capable of running Android apps sometime after launch, which the latest rumors put at the end of March/beginning of April with a price sticker of $499.99. The company was seriously looking into this possibility and was trying to decide whether using the Dalvik virtual machine (the same one Android uses to run its apps) was a viable way to move forward.Read More
According to Don Kellogg from the Nielsen Company, 31% of all mobile phone users in the U.S. own some type of a smartphone. More interestingly, it appears that the race for market share in the U.S. by the leading smartphone platforms - Android, iOS and BlackBerry - is in a dead heat.
We have already learnt from analysts at Canalys that shipments of Android-based smartphones globally commanded a 32.9% share of the market, followed by devices running Nokia's Symbian OS at 30.6%, Apple's iPhone OS at 16%, and RIM's BlackBerry OS at 14.4%.Read More

The colors are beautiful. Just two notes - 1) I'm 5.2 and it's about 1 inch too long so I have to wear it with tall wedges or heals otherwise it will drag the floor when I walk. 2) it's also fairly sheer and when the light hits it you can see through the bottom half. Overall I'm happy with the product.

I love how the back has that V shape to match the front. I'm 5'2 and this dress is a little long. I can wear heels so it wont drag or flats or flip flops and have it drag a little. I love the colors and I love how I can still wear a bra without my straps being seen. All in all I couldn't be happier with this dress.

The dress has wonderful colors. But im 4'11 and will have to hem it alot. And the materil is paper thin so you definitely need a slip which to me defeats the purpose of a sun dress, but the wonderful colors make up for that

Biological invasion by plants is a worldwide phenomenon and a leading cause of biodiversity loss, second only to the destruction of natural habitats.
The Municipality of Chelsea would like to inform its residents that wild parsnip has been noticed on its territory. This invasive plant can be harmful when in contact with skin for certain people. It is therefore paramount that you and children are able to identify this plant.
The Municipality would like to increase awareness of the presence of wild parsnip on its territory. Hence, signs will be put in place on municipal properties by the Municipality in order to warn the population of the presence of wild parsnip. We encourage you to identify the plant, to stay away from it and to remove it from your property if it disturbs you.
We encourage residents to:
- Be able to identify the invasive plant and to avoid contact with it.
- Teach children to identify it and to stay away from it.
- If wild parsnip grows on your property, you can get rid of it by taking the necessary precautions (More information on the municipal website).
- You can communicate with us if you see wild parsnip on municipal properties (Please include a description of the site, number of plants and a photo if possible and send it by email to email@example.com).
Wild parsnip measures from 50 to 150 centimeters. Its leaves are jagged and the plant produces small yellow flowers with five petals. Its flowers form clusters shaped like cupola, like a parasol. Wild parsnip can be seen in ditches along roads, On peut le retrouver notamment dans les fossés le long des routes, near railways, in cracks in the pavement, on the borders of sports fields, in fields, in backyards and along fences.
Wild Parsnip's sap can cause rashes, blisters or burns that can leave brown scars La sève du panais sauvage peut causer des éruptions cutanées sévères, des ampoules ou des brûlures causant des cicatrices brunes that can remain visible for many years. Contact with eyes can cause temporary blindness or in extreme cases, permanent blindness. These situations occur when the stem of the plant breaks or when an individual rubs himself on the plant.
The best way to protect yourself is to be able to recognize wild parsnip when you see it. Then, removing wild parsnip is a good way to avoid its spread. In order to do so, we recommend the wear of glasses, waterproof clothes, gloves and rain boots. Before removing your it you should wash your equipment with soap as to avoid contamination through it.
Three methods exist in order to get rid of wild parsnip:
Mowing: Mowing is a practical way of controlling the spread of Wild Parsnip, but it must be done between late June and early July, before the plants flower. Mowing later on could spread the seeds and make a Wild Parsnip infestation worse.
• Hand Pulling: Pulling out a Wild Parsnip plant by hand will kill it. It is easier to remove plants with stout stems after a period of rain or during a drought, when the root shrinks. However, this method is not practical if there is a large infestation in the area.
• Digging: When digging to remove Wild Parsnip, use a narrow shovel, spade or trowel to loosen the soil and uproot the plant. If the top of the plant has started to produce seeds, it should be removed from the area and burned to prevent any further spread.

Dog-strangling vine (DSV), also known as pale swallowwort, belongs to the Milkweed family (Asclepiadaceae). It is a non-native perennial, twining vine from Eurasia. The vines can grow up to 2m in height, and have small pinkish to dark maroon flowers that start to appear in late May to early June. Opposite leaves are ovate, dark green, smooth, and shiny. The seed pods begin appearing in late June and are mature by mid to late July. Each pod produces numerous wind-borne silky-haired seeds.
DSV can reproduce by seed and by its massive underground root system (rhizomes). The seed is extremely viable once it germinates and the rhizomes can also propagate many new plants.

Giant hogweed is a giant perennial and multiannual herbaceous plant (can reach five meters in height). This invasive exotic species in the Apiaceae family has a stout ridged and hollow stalk measuring 5 to 10 cm in diameter. The stem is covered with hard white hairs, mostly at the base of the leaflets. The leaves are deeply serrated, large (1 to 1.5 m and 2.5 m for basal leaves), dark green and divided into three broad irregular leaflets. The giant hogweed flowers from June to August. Its flowers are small (about 12 mm), greenish white and grouped in inflorescences formed by 4 to 12 umbels 20 to 150 cm in diameter. The mature fruits are light brown, elliptical flat-winged (or oval and hairy), and range from 6 to 18 mm long and 4 to 10 mm wide.
Each plant produces on average between 30,000 and 50,000 winged seeds (achenes), but some plants can produce up to 100,000 seeds. These oval and hairy achenes have the ability to stay viable 5 to 6 years in the soil, but some may remain viable for up to 15 years. They are transported by wind over short distances (8 to10 meters) or over long distances by streams and rivers. The large taproot (60 cm) allows growth and rapid regeneration of the plant when it is cut. This high productivity and ease of regeneration of the giant hogweed explains its colonization success. This mode of reproduction means that even one single plant has the capacity to establish a whole new colony.
- Cover all body parts with non-absorbent protective clothing (pants, long sleeves, and gloves with extended sleeves);
- Remove clothing and gloves by turning them inside out;
- Protect the eyes or all of the face (visor);
- Ensure that nobody is the range where they could be reached by sap droplets or plant debris;
- Use a knife or round shovel to cut the stems and roots;
- Wash all tools that have been in contact with the sap of the plant (pruning shears, clearing equipment, etc.).
A local infestation can be controlled by tilling to a depth of 24 cm and by planting an annual crop until the seed bank in the soil becomes exhausted.
Cut the plants in mid-June to late August, 2 to 3 times per year over several years. Covering the affected area with mulch or sowing a mixture of grass will help prevent germination of new plants from the rhizomes.
Apply glyphosate or triclopyr on the leaves, or inject the product into the stems. Several applications will be necessary. A permit from the Municipality of Chelsea must be obtained prior to applying any type of herbicides.
- The eyes are affected;
- The person has a fever;
- The person has significant lesions (larger than a quarter);
- A child has been in contact with the plant.

I looked upon the unicorn in front of me. Why did this have to happen? I picked up a block of cheese and shoved it in my bag of rainbows. I hopped on my bike and drove round town on the search of chicken pie and cheap viagra. Then I went on my prostitution shift and met up with my other whore friends. We had a rave. I saw Jess and Amber the lesbian kiwi eaters who wanted Jaspers babies. I mean I was such a better whore for Gods sake.

The Tasmanian Bushfires of January 2013 were of a scale unseen in this state in almost 50 years. The catastrophic weather conditions that drove the fires limited the possibilities of containing or preventing widespread damage, destruction and loss. The days and weeks following the fires revealed the full extent of the damage – to properties, people, businesses and communities – and the consequent scope of the recovery effort that would be required.
On 10 January 2013, the State Government established the Bushfire Recovery Taskforce (the Taskforce) and associated arrangements to oversee recovery efforts across all areas of government and non-government sectors.
Since the formation of the Taskforce, a large number of programs have been developed and implemented to support the clean-up and reconstruction of infrastructure and property, the personal recovery of individuals and families, and the revival of businesses and the economy. At least 320 properties have been cleaned up, $5.86 million of Red Cross Bushfire Appeal funding has been distributed to individuals and families, 28 community projects have been approved for funding and significant progress has been made on the rebuilding of community infrastructure and private homes.
The role of government in supporting this work, and many other activities of the Taskforce, has been guided by the Tasmanian Bushfires January 2013: Programs for Recovery planning document (PDF), which is a useful reference point if more detail is required.
This report is the final formal publication of the Taskforce. It provides an overview of the recovery framework, details the activity that the Taskforce has implemented through its five program areas since January 2013, and records significant learnings that aim to improve Tasmania's capacity to recover from future disasters. The Taskforce conducted a review of the recovery process, consulting widely with the community and speaking with those who have been involved with the planning, coordination or delivery of recovery services. Key lessons learned from this review are contained in this document. It should be noted that the review is not related to the 2013 Tasmanian Bushfires Inquiry Report, conducted by Special Investigator Mal Hyde.
This report follows the structure used for the Tasmanian Bushfires January 2013: Programs for Recovery planning document, firstly addressing overarching issues in the section entitled 'A Framework for Recovery'. Subsequent sections are allocated to the five program areas that the Bushfire Recovery Unit used for planning and delivery of activity. Each of these sections outlines:
The final section details the arrangements that have been made to continue those elements of the formal recovery process that have not yet concluded.

Berry sauce: Puree berries in your food processor (you can do all of one kind or a mix), strain to remove any seeds and add a dash of sugar or honey to increase the sweetness, if needed. Then you can use this sauce over meats and fish for a sweet twist on a savory dish, or to dress up vanilla ice cream or even oatmeal!
- PB & B: Forget the jelly, which is high in sugar and low in fiber, and opt for berries on your peanut butter sandwich instead. They will still add that delicious fruity flavor, but they will make your sandwich much lower in calories and sugar and add fiber and texture to boot.
- Berry ice: To cool down a drink without watering it down, try adding frozen berries. Their pretty colors will dress up any drink and provide built-in flavor. I love putting frozen mixed berries into my sparkling water!
- Berry salsa: As much as I love tomato salsa, dicing up berries (strawberries are great for this) to make a salsa ups the "wow" factor. Just combine diced berries with diced jalapeno, diced red onion and another favorite fruit, such as pineapple. Serve over grilled fish or on a salad.
- Berry bites: For the perfect sweet and savory summer appetizer, hull strawberries, then stuff with your favorite soft cheese (like goat cheese or ricotta).
- Berry drink: Blend frozen berries with orange juice until well-combined and frothy for the perfect refreshing summer afternoon beverage.
What is your favorite berry and how do you enjoy it the most?

Savage claimed Dem win in midterms "could lead to the breakup of the United States of America"
Video ››› ››› ANDREW IRONSIDE
Loading the player reg...
On the October 13 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, The Savage Nation, Michael Savage claimed that a victory by the Democratic Party in the November midterm elections "could lead to the breakup of the United States of America, the way the Soviet Union broke up." Savage warned of the threat of Democrats regaining control of Congress while discussing the threat of immigration to the makeup of the United States, asserting that there is only "a melting pot possibility" for immigrants from Europe and that "[w]hen you start bringing in masses of immigrants from everywhere on Earth, you don't have a melting pot; they cannot be melted into an American, and that's what's going on in the country today." Savage added, "Democrats want people to vote that aren't even citizens, because they're not counting on an America that speaks English in the near future."
Later in the broadcast, while discussing California Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, Savage stated: "California, unfortunately, is in the hands of the far-left homosexual mafia. They unfortunately don't even understand what's good for them." Savage added that "if the gay community ever understood what was in their interest, they'd become conservatives," but "they are also very confused, as anyone could figure out by their death-style." As Media Matters for America has documented (here, here, and here), Savage has previously referred to "the homosexual mafia" and "the homosexual death-style."
According to Talkers magazine, The Savage Nation reaches more than 8 million listeners a week, making it the talk radio show with the third largest U.S. audience, behind only The Rush Limbaugh Show and the Sean Hannity Show.
From the October 13 edition of Talk Radio Network's The Savage Nation:
SAVAGE: The difference, of course, is that -- and this is a huge difference, and it's hard for me to not explain it to you, but I'm sure you figured it out by now -- is that when you bring immigrants in from Europe -- whether they be Irish, whether they be Italian, whether they be English, whether they be Romanian, whether they be Czechoslovakian, whether they be Italian, whether they be Yugoslavian, whether they be German -- they're from Europe, and there is a melting pot possibility.
When you start bringing in masses of immigrants from everywhere on Earth, you don't have a melting pot; they cannot be melted into an American, and that's what's going on in the country today. We're bringing in millions of people from countries that have no compatibility with the values of Europe, not any values whatsoever. And I will argue with you as long as you want on this, if you want. There was no history of the liberation of people in China for example, to choose one nation, there was no Magna Carta, there was no evolution. There's been no Middle Ages for the Muslims coming into America.
It's insanity to be bringing in millions of people who have no Middle Ages yet, they haven't even gone through the Middle Ages. They're never going to be compatible with America. They're never going to assimilate. This is the biggest disaster in the history of this country, is to say that all people from around the world are the same; ipso facto, bring in anybody and they're all going to become an American within two generations. That's absurd. But they know that. They don't want them to become assimilated. What they want is a balkanization of America where one group is pitted against another perennially. And the ruling class also wants an illiterate America who does not fully understand what they're doing to this country. That's why they are bringing people that will never assimilate. They don't even require that they speak English.
That's why the Democrats want people to be able to vote without any ID whatsoever. That's why the Democrats want people to vote who aren't even citizens, because they're not counting on an America that speaks English in the near future. They're not counting on an America that has a citizenship requirement in the near future. My fear is that if the Democrats win, and I'm afraid that they might, you're going to see America melt down faster that you could ever imagine.
It will happen overnight, and it could lead to the breakup of the United States of America, the way the Soviet Union broke up. Because I want to remind you that if I had asked anyone listening to this show -- whether in 1980 they could've ever believed the ex-Soviet Union could have ever broken up into parts, you would've said impossible. Too powerful, too centrally controlled -- it'll never happen. This country could wind up breaking up if the Democrats take over this country and start hammering the American middle class. The country could break up at the foreparts. I'm absolutely positive this could happen.
SAVAGE: Well, Dianne Feinstein is an icon here in the Sick Bay area. They have no idea what her policies are, because she's a mystery woman. Dianne Feinstein is a mystery woman, and nobody knows what she stands for. Barbara Boxer is not a mystery woman. She stands for anything that the socialist party would stand for. Barbara Boxer is a dyed-in-the-wool, 1930s Wobbly from New York. California, unfortunately, is in the hands of the far-left homosexual mafia. They unfortunately don't even understand what's good for them. They don't understand that voting on the left side of everything is actually in their disinterest, not in their interest -- that if they gay community ever understood what's in their interest they'd become conservatives, by and large. But they are also very confused, as anyone could figure out by their death-style.
SAVAGE: But the homosexuals don't simply go to bars and have sex with each other. They are amongst the most politically active groups, if not the most politically active group or subgroup, in the population. They are extremely militant in their demands. They are extremely demanding as the school -- that the school curriculums change. They are extremely demanding in their attacks on the church. I mean, let's not turn this into something that it isn't. Now, you got people in the church who are standing up and saying, "Hell, no, we won't go."

BMW e46 318- leaks/ burns oil.
I have replaced ; oil filter seals/ oil filter housing gasket seals. The car still burns 2 quarts a month, however it seems to be smoking even more than previously. Any suggestions?
Clogged PCV increases crankcase pressure and causes all sorts of leaks. Those engines are horrible for oil leaks.
How many kays? Done a compression test?
Oil separator.
Thank you for the reply, the car is a 2002 318i, with 225 k mileage.
1: can I replace the PCV, as a simple DIY?
2: The oil separator, I will look into.
I am in the market for a 318i and had a chat with my Indy who services my 2001 325i and 1993 525i (which is what I am replacing).
His advice was; Stay clear of the N42 2.0L engine, Burns Oil, lots of Vanos problems, Get a pre 09/2001 318i with the M43TU 1.9L engine ... bullet proof in his opinion. 200,000km just run in!

Blowers, who had a successful five-year stint with Northampton, was to have joined Bristol in time for the start of next season.
But with Bristol number eight Dan Ward-Smith sidelined due to a serious knee injury, Blowers has brought forward his arrival in the west country and will be available for selection against Premiership opponents Wasps on March 4.
Blowers, 31, made his Test debut for the All Blacks against South Africa in 1996, and went on to make 11 international appearances.
He moved to England at the start of the 2000/2001 season, proving one of Northampton's most successful signings in the professional era.
Bristol head coach Richard Hill said: "It has been a good season for us so far but we have a critical few weeks ahead of us.
"We've already lost Wardy (Ward-Smith) for the season, and the win over Newcastle on Sunday came at a price in terms of injuries.
"Andrew was to have joined us for next season but we have negotiated an early release for him from New Zealand, and given the nature of our season, he is keen to come over and play his part as soon as possible.
"His pedigree speaks for itself. He's in great shape, having prepared for the Super 14 season, and I am really looking forward to him joining us."

The Economy's Quickening Pace
When it rains, it pours. Data reports issued on Jan. 18 added to the growing list of releases showing a better-than-expected trajectory for the U.S. economy as the New Year gets under way. The market's expectations of any near-term easing by the Federal Reserve are now quickly dissipating with each new upside surprise in key sectors such as housing and labor—and prices for wholesale and consumer goods.
Though we are cautiously keeping our gross domestic product (GDP) estimates at 2.7% for both the 2006 fourth quarter and the 2007 first quarter, as the inventory correction in the factory sector works its way through the economy, we are likely to reach the end of this adjustment during the current quarter. And the drain on growth from declines in residential construction through 2006 looks poised to moderate significantly in the first quarter and to flatten out by the middle of the year.
Here is Action Economics' rundown of the key reports released Jan. 18:
Philadelphia Fed index: This regional gauge of economic activity improved to 8.3 in January from a revised -2.3 in December (-4.3 previously), maintaining its up-and-down pattern since the summer. Among the components, prices paid dipped to 11.9 from 19.0 (revised from 20.6) as price pressures slowed for a sixth consecutive month. Prices received were 11.6 after edging up to 8.9 (revised from 9.9). New orders climbed back into positive territory, rising to 1.3 from -0.9 (revised from -2.4). Employment was 7.9, vs. a revised 7.5 (7.9 previously).
These data are much stronger than expected, and together with the improvement in recent data almost across the board, suggest the economy is on healthy footing. We will raise our forecasts for other key sentiment indicators for January—to 53 for the Chicago purchasing managers' index and to 52 for the Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing index—but will keep our ISM nonmanufacturing forecast at 56.
Consumer price index: The December overall CPI increased 0.5% (median 0.5%), while the core index, which excludes food and energy prices, rose 0.2% (median 0.2%). The energy aggregate rebounded 4.6%, led by an 8% gain in gasoline prices. Food prices were flat, despite the upside risk from both the producer price index (PPI) and food exports price index. The core aggregate was held back by a 0.2% decline in new vehicles and a subdued 0.1% gain in medical care.
The report left year-over-year core inflation in December at the same 2.6% rate as in November, and we expect this measure to remain at 2.6% in January if we get another 0.2% core gain. The year-over-year inflation bounce to 2.5% from 2.0% in November should be followed by a pullback to 2.0% in January, if this month's gain is held to 0.1% by current weakness in energy prices.
In total, the mix of CPI gains, the upside surprises in the December PPI report, and the trade price figures for the month all combine to provide an ongoing irritant to the Fed's efforts to bring the various inflation indicators comfortably back in line with its objectives. We will assume a 0.4% overall and 0.2% core gain for the December personal consumption expenditure (PCE) chain price indexes, an inflation gauge favored by the Fed.
Housing starts: Housing starts rose 4.5%, to a 1.642-million-unit annual pace in December, from a downwardly revised 1.572 million rate in November (1.588 million previously). Permits rebounded 5.5%, to a 1.596-million rate (November was revised up to 1.513 million from 1.506 million). Strength in starts was in multifamily, up 42.1%, while single-family starts fell 4.1%.
These figures are now firmly in the camp of housing indicators that are bouncing through yearend, following a more mixed pattern in November of strong starts but lean permits.
We expect construction spending to be flat in December, following the 0.2% drop in November. And we will assume that the quarterly GDP subtractions via residential construction should start to moderate in the first quarter toward the -10% area, after a 20% rate of decline expected in the fourth. The residential construction component looks poised to be fairly flat by the middle two quarters of this year, hence removing this GDP drain from the mix as the year progresses.
Initial jobless claims: Initial claims fell another 8,000, to a notably lean 290,000 in the second week of January—which is also the Bureau of Labor Statistics' survey week for compiling the monthly employment report—following a 27,000 decline, to 298,000 in the first week of January. Continuing claims bounced by a hefty 120,000, to 2.53 million, following a revised 21,000 drop in the prior week, to 2.41 million.
The initial-claims figures have prompted an upward revision in our nonfarm payroll estimate for January's employment report to 150,000, which brings this figure right in line with the 152,000 average monthly gain in 2006, though below the notable strength in payrolls of 154,000 in November and 167,000 in December.
Claims are averaging 294,000 thus far in January, though holiday distortions often extend through the first two weeks of the New Year, so we should be cautious in interpreting either this pattern or the surge in continuing claims. The lean start to the month, however, is reminiscent of the sharp and surprisingly permanent downswings seen in the level of claims at the start of each of the last two years.
