It's Wednesday! I like Wednesdays. My youngest is in preschool, so I get 2.5 hours to do whatever I want. Today, I wanted to pick up my new Safeway ad and flip through it checking out the deals. Is that pathetic? I just enjoy saving!!
To sweeten the morning, I picked up my favorite coffee drink, the Annihilator, from my favorite coffee place, Dutch Bros, courtesy of a gift card sent in the mail by my dear friend Sarah for helping her out on a little project! YOU ROCK, and you KNOW it! (Name that movie.)
So, after dropping off my cutie, with Annihilator in hand, I ran into Safeway to pick up the ad. Then, I went back to sit in the car to see what I could see! I'm such a nerd that I keep my coupon binder with me at all times. Seriously. I always grab it as I'm leaving the house. SUCH a dork.
Anyway, it didn't take me long to figure out what I was going to purchase and then grab my coupons to match. 10 minutes, tops.
Here's a tip for you: If you plan on sitting in your car to do this, go ahead and slip the keys OUT of the ignition and put them in your pocket right away so that you don't accidentally lock yourself out when you get out of the car. Just sayin'. Thankfully, my handsome knight was but a block away and came to my rescue as I was still shopping!
ANYWHO! Since I knew exactly what I was getting, I grabbed it, and attempted to separate the groceries out into two piles since I planned to do two transactions to take FULL advantage of the doublers. Safeway only lets you double up to 4 coupons with their doubler, and only up to 50¢ per coupon at that. But, I'll take it. There are extra ads near the door, so I grabbed 2 doublers. In the end, I had to do four transactions because a couple of my coupons were being freakish, but whatever. No biggie!
This is what I got:
I'm sorry. Did you see that? I just wanted to make sure that you saw that I spent $5.04. HELLO?!
I took some close-ups of the receipts, but I decided to spare you.
TO BE FAIR, I did have a free milk and $8 in catalinas to spend. PLUS, when you buy 2 Oscar Meyer bacons, another $2 cat prints out (and they are on sale with a Safeway coupon + coupons that came in the Sunday paper). I did 2 bacons in the first transaction, and 2 bacons in the second. I used the first cat for the second transaction, and then the second cat to pay for the 3rd transaction.
Another thing to note is that I used a lot of the Safeway "super coupons" which are just the coupons that come in the ad. Your transaction total has to come to $20 after club card savings, but before coupons to be able to use the super coupons. But, hey, milk makes a good filler item! LOL!
AND, the cookies and frosting were free with overage with sale price + ecoupons loaded onto my card + manufacturer coupons. If I'd had a manufacturer's coupon, the Bisquick would have been a better deal, but it ended up being .70¢ with ecoupons, so I won't complain.
T2 = $-.05 (Yes! They owed me 5¢! I donated it. Hee, hee!)
On a slightly related note, I have discovered something about myself. If there is money in the envelope, I will spend it. See, we use the cash envelope system for gas, groceries, haircuts and "fun money" (and it's "fun" to buy school pictures and socks and MOPS meetings, etc – anything we didn't budget for). I had been budgeting $100 a week for groceries (so $400 a month), but I discovered that when there is money in the envelope, I WILL spend it. Yes, we do buy EVERYTHING with that envelope: personal care, dinners out, Christmas presents, etc. (We do have a separate Christmas budget, but we haven't had to dip into it yet, since we've been using leftover grocery money so far.) But, really, I should be SAVING the leftover rather than spending it, don't you think?
So, I decided that I can feed our family on less than $400 a month. How about cutting that in half? Does $200 a month sound good?
It will be interesting to see how I do with this new challenge. Our "month" goes from the 15th to the 15th, so I filled my envelopes with $50 a week on Monday. I only have $1 and change left for this week. I did a HUGE Albertsons run yesterday for produce and meat, and have been buying up cheap turkeys like a mad woman. I cooked my second one last night, and I have one more thawing in the refrigerator and our freezer is overflowing with meat and veggies. (I could use another refrigerator or perhaps a big freezer. I suppose it's time to check out Craigs List!) Not to mention the buy 1 pie, get another pie and 2 ice creams deal that ended yesterday! Don't worry. I put a pie and ice cream in the Thanksgiving basket that we donated through the church.
AND, that's another thing. Our church does a Thanksgiving basket community outreach project where people who need food for Thanksgiving can call and request a basket. We enjoy this opportunity to teach our children about giving. Yesterday's Albertsons trip was a lot of Thanksgiving Basket shopping (although I shopped my pantry for some things), so our $50 this week has actually bought food for 2 families, and purchased 3 turkeys. This whole coupon thing is so awesome!
My children are learning so much about spending, saving and giving. They draw me coupons and scope out ads for me. They find coupons when we are in the store, and on the backs of cracker boxes. It's really funny! When I'm flipping through my coupon binder, they are always asking if they can have some coupons. It wouldn't surprise me if they played "store" at school and used coupons! LOL! AND, when people come to the door collecting food for the food bank, we have plenty to offer. It feels good to be able to give away some of what we have been blessed with.
I'm almost done, I promise.
I thought I should point out that the Krazy Coupon Ladies came out with a brand new ebook. I haven't purchased it, yet, but it looks like it is filled with valuable information. The KCLs are the gals who taught me all about couponing with their 10 Days to Become a Krazy Coupon Lady blog series. Their blog is a wealth of information, and the book is sure to be a hit! (If anyone wants to buy me a "Pick another checkout lane, honey" t-shirt, I'd be SO excited!!)
ALSO, if you live in the little D, you can attend a coupon class that Frugal Living NW is putting on at Faith Church (where most of my krazy coupon friends attend!). Frugal Living NW is my favorite coupon blog, since it is geared toward my area and people who comment are shopping at the same stores (on the same street!) that I shop! Love local!

Evra still awaiting answers
Patrice Evra has hinted that he could lodge a second appeal against his five-match international ban.
By Patrick Haond
Last Updated: 21/09/10 3:04pm
Patrice Evra has hinted that he could lodge a second appeal against his five-match international ban.
The Manchester United full-back was handed the suspension by the French Football Federation for the part he played in a shambolic World Cup display by Les Bleus.
As national skipper in South Africa, he was deemed responsible for the player strike which greeted the decision to send Nicolas Anelka home.
Evra has already contested the decision to omit him from the squad once, but saw his efforts come up short.
He is, however, determined to get to the bottom of the issue, as he feels he has not been given suitable reasons for the imposing of the ban.
That means the Red Devils ace could once again turn to the Olympic National Committee in an effort to get the sanction overturned.
"I can't fight against everyone," Evra told the Canal Football Club television show.
"I have a lot of pain at the moment. Some people want to cut my head off, and they are being successful.
"It is difficult but I will carry on fighting until the end.
"It is very difficult to appeal again, but I still don't know why I am being condemned.
"The Federation are the only ones with the answers. That is what my lawyer is asking them for, but they have still not given them."

I am an AUTHOR, hear my words ROAR! My life is a garden of treasures, just doing some weeding to find my balance. Yin and Yang. Writing is my soul....This is the Official Blog of Author, Tanya Taimanglo (Secret Shopper).
Monday, June 3, 2013
It's Getting Hot in Here...So, I 'Member Guam.
A few things I miss, and others not so much….
1. Foremost Macadamia Nut Ice Cream—I used to excavate the tiny pieces of macadamia and save them for last. Like a squirrel, it was sometimes futile collecting nuts...one per half gallon just about.
2. Ice Water Out of a Jar—Straight from the tap, we shared one large jar and had to wait for the white cloud to subside. I would watch it sizzle away, never questioning the health of that water. I'm fine today, except for the third eye behind my head.
3. Grease-The Movie, played every year. My parents didn't care that I was eight and learning about sex and hickeys and working it. Lessons still not learned. "Tell me about it, Stud."
4. Hagåtña Library-Even though I didn't own an actual library card because my parents couldn't be bothered to come in with me, they would occasionally drop me off to spend a few hours. A/C and books, a great combination.
5. Paseo-Walking around Paseo Park for exercise, then having Taco Bell after with my almost 'nina' and her son. That lesson of exercise so I can eat, all their fault.
6. Asan + Camel Rock + Low Tide= Aliling or sea snails. It was a family fun day, to have a bucket, mom's enthusiasm and low tide in the village of Asan. I typically lagged behind my family, trying not to cut my feet on the jagged rocks, deathly afraid of attracting sharks. Once my tiny Korean mother hunted her weight in shells and sea snails, we headed home where only she and I would eat the chewy take out from the sea.
7. Sticking my face in the Family Freezer. Guam folk love their deep freezers. Meat doesn't expire! Hot summer days, when my parents weren't looking, my adolescent face was hanging into the freezer to chill out. Days before A/C was normal in the whole house.
8. Foremost Macadamia Nut Ice Cream. Oh, I mentioned that already? Sorry, I'm hungry.

My favorite things and places in the world are so because of childhood memories.ReplyDelete
I visit Chocolate Shops just to buy one piece of Divinity Candy because of treasured chilhood memories. I'm allergic to chocolate, by the way.
I drive to Muckleshoot Casino in Auburn, WA because it's where I can find Macadamia Nut Ice Cream (I don't like ice cream). One scoop and I'm home again!
Childhood memories keep me young. ...A magical backpack of memories I carry with me everywhere I go.
Thank you for sharing your stories, Tanya, you help to bring me closer to home.
What a rebel! Buying things you're allergic too. :) Need to drive to Auburn for that Mac Nut! I love your line, "...magical backpack of memories..." Thank you for your comment. Always makes my day. TanyaDelete
Hi Tanya,ReplyDelete
I thought you should know if you happen to make the trip to Auburn for the ice cream and don't find it, ask the clerk if they have it available. It usually takes 10-30 minutes for them to bring it out, so plan ahead.

Too. Much. Information
Don't you just love it when someone expresses their love for another person, or their love of a small action, through Twitter? Doesn't it just make your day to see endless Tweets of how wonderful a person is, all their cute habits, right down to the smallest detail?
Screenshot Source: Twitter
Fine, some people need it. Some people really do need to express their love, their affection, their dependence through social media. I have no real problem with that; I hope they also do it in person and that these signs of affection are not the tip of a stalking iceberg.
However, there are some affectionate, loving Tweets out there which just seem to escalate too quickly, or in the wrong direction if your imagination is that way inclined:
Screenshot Source: Twitter
I'm sure this was all meant in the best possible taste, but the first Tweet was sufficient; no one really needed the graphic depth of the second!
Love & Kisses, Viki.

1764 · Paris
by BELLIN, Jacques Nicolas
Paris: Bellin, Nicolas, 1764. unbound. Map. Copper plate engraving. Uncolored. Image measures 8 1/4" x 6 1/2" This impressive map or sea chart details the mouth of the Chiang River in the Fujian Province of modern day China. The map covers part of the modern day city of Fuzhou on the southeastern coast of China just west of Taiwan or Formosa. Incredibly detailed, the map notes towns, fortifications, islands, bridges, rivers and mountains with beautifully rendered topography. Several coastal features are noted, included depth soundings throughout, making this a useful map for the mariner. Part of Bellin's "Le Petit atlas maritime". Map retains its natural black and white dark impression. It is in very good condition with minor foxing. Original plate mark visible. Jacques Nicolas Bellin (1703-1772), was the official hydrographer to the French king and the first person to hold the title of "Ingénieur de la Marine of the Depot des cartes et plans de la Marine" (chief engineer of the French Hydrographical Office).

Traditionally phenol and formaldehyde containing adhesives are used in wood products such as plywood, laminated veneer lumber, particle wood panels and laminates. There is a strong legal drive from sanitary authorities in Canada the US and the EU towards more stringent limitations up to a complete ban of phenol formaldehyde (PF) adhesives in wood panels. The reasons is that they are actually releasing formol for years after manufacturing. Another important driver is the Act on Public Procurement enacted at the beginning of the year 2017 which highlights these public health and environmental considerations. This, in turn, drives wood product manufacturers to find bio-based and safe alternatives to these petroleum-based, toxic and expensive adhesive components.
VTT has developed CatLignin technology for producing reactive lignin from pulp industry side streams currently used for energy production. Due to its superior reactivity, CatLignin is an ideal replacement for phenol in phenol formaldehyde resins and could become a new, high-value product for pulp mills. In addition, the CO2 footprint of lignin is only approximately 20% of the footprint of phenol. Resins have a significant impact on CO2 footprint of engineered wood products. For example in plywood, around half of CO2 footprint is caused by resin usage. Replacing phenol with lignin also reduces formaldehyde usage. To put this in context there are currently six million tons of phenol formaldehyde resins produced annually.
Senior VTT Scientist Hanne Wikberg says:"The suitability of lignin for a variety of applications has been investigated for decades, but only now we have found a way to use it as a phenol substitute in significant quantities in resins. VTT's CatLignin technology represents a technological leap, offering new business opportunities to many industrial players"
This new material brings new business opportunities for the entire value chain, from lignin producers to adhesive and wood product manufacturers and end-users. In practice, this means pulp mills, adhesive, wood product and laminate manufacturers and their customers, such as kitchen cabinet and furniture brands.
The reactive lignin manufacturing technology can be integrated into pulp mills. Unlike existing technologies, the virtue of this process is the possibility to modify the lignin structure already at the pulp mill. Lignin structure can be tailored and therefore optimized specifically for each application.
Potential of CatLignin
- The CatLignin material has potential as a substitute for a wide range of fossil-based chemicals in adhesive, rubber and plastic applications. Its anti-oxidative properties are expected to improve weather resistance reducing the need for fossil-based and expensive additives used today.
- The CatLignin technology won the resource scarcity category in the New Tree 2017 competition in Finland on 1st February 2017 jointly with another VTT technology LigniOx concrete plasticizer solution. The competition jury – which consisted of experts from environmental and forestry sector together with societal and economic experts as well as Members of the Parliament of Finland – were particularly impressed by the societal importance and economic potential of the technology.
The Catlignin technology development is underway in a project funded by Tekes, the Finnish Funding Agency for Innovation, and VTT. This technology has already attracted a great deal of interest throughout the whole value chain and VTT is currently seeking partners for upscaling and commercialization of the technology.

Did you know last week's puzzler? Were you one of the people who sent in a guess? This was a challenging one as it doesn't really look like what it is.
The mysterious growths on the forest floor –which may at first look like some kind of fungus–are actually an unusual plant that can be found throughout the eastern US and Canada under oak trees–especially red oaks. Like many plants, this one has it's fair share of common names including American cancer root, squawroot, bear cone, and bear corn. Its scientific name is Conopholis americana, because it resembles a pine cone poking out of the ground–conos meaning 'cone' and pholos meaning 'scale.' This plant lacks chlorophyll so unlike other plants, cannot manufacture its own food. It solves this problem by stealing nutrients from its host plant–the oak tree. Thus, Conopholis americana is a parasitic plant
This plant has an interesting lifecycle: Seedlings grow underground for 4 years, sending out roots that will latch on to the root of an oak tree. They form large swollen knobs, which is perhaps where the common name of cancer root came to be. After four years the plant sends up a whitish stalk that is at first a pale cream color but as spring turns into summer, it becomes brown and may last all winter. It can be 3-7 inches tall. When the scales of the plant pull back, you can see small white flowers that eventually become seeds and drop off to begin the lifecycle again. It is pollinated by flies and bumblebees.
Many animals eat this plant, including deer and bear–hence the reason for another of its common names–bear corn or bear cone. Legend has it that when the bears are emerging from their long hibernations, this plant, which is just emerging from the leaf litter, is a favorite.
This plant reminds me of Indian Pipe–another plant that lacks chlorophyll You can read more about that HERE.

Arch rivals Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger shook hands at the start and end of a topsy-turvy match which saw the Gunners steal a late equaliser through Olivier Gori=oud.
Late challenges and intelligent defending restricted both teams from open play early on, with set-pieces looking their best bet.
Mata curled a left-footed free-kick wide for United and Alexis Sanchez somehow managed to direct a close-range header away from goal and team-mate Aaron Ramsey's reach.
It was a glaring miss from a player whose movement and endeavour was proving a nuisance, although the Chilean - who had been a doubt after a hamstring complaint - was left on thin ice after a clumsy challenge on Ander Herrera resulted in a yellow card.
Darmian joined him in referee Andre Marriner's notebook as play became edgy and increasingly disjointed, with the United full-back perhaps fortunate not to pick up a second yellow card after catching Carl Jenkinson in the 33rd minute.
The officials were coming under increasing scrutiny as the first half wore to a close, with Mourinho apoplectic after his team's penalty claims were ignored.
Valencia flicked the ball through Nacho Monreal's legs and went down under pressure from the Arsenal defender, but Marriner waved away his appeal to the chagrin of the Old Trafford faithful.
Petr Cech's reactions prevented frustration quickly turning to elation when Mata made space and got away a low shot destined for the bottom corner.
The Arsenal goalkeeper turned that behind and again had to be alert four minutes before the break, tipping away an Anthony Martial attempt before comfortably denying the Frenchman from the resulting corner.
Referee Marriner was jeered as the teams made their way off at the break, with Mourinho's re-emergence for the second half suggesting he learned from United's last home league game when anger at the officials earned a sending-off and one-match touchline ban.
The Portuguese's side restarted brightly as Martial and Michael Carrick had scuffed efforts, and a blocked Marcus Rashford shot drew claims from the Stretford End that a penalty should have been given for handball against Shkodran Mustafi.
As the chances began to dry up, and Phil Jones denied Laurent Koscielny getting a close-range header away, Mourinho plumped for substitute Rooney, with Martial going off and Rashford pushed wide.
It added an extra edge and coolness as United looked to make the breakthrough, with that hard work paying off in the 68th minute.
Pogba played in the overlapping Herrera, whose intelligent cutback was met by a first-time strike by Mata to send the crowd wild.
The Spaniard was booked for celebrating with the crowd, before Marcos Rojo's powerful header went close to doubling United's lead.
Toothless Arsenal looked set for defeat, only to catch United cold in the dying stages.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain darted all too easily past Rashford and sent in a cross that Giroud converted to shock Old Trafford.

I am so excited to share a preview of the new me & my BIG ideas Sticker Storage Book today!
This book is one of the products that will be released on the me & my BIG ideas website March 1. If you want to see more, yesterday I shared a preview of the new stickers, stamps and sticky notes that are part of this release. Tomorrow, I'll share the three new planners I'll be using from this release.
You may have seen sticker storage books similar to this floating around the online planner community. If not, a lot of girls have taken the individual sheets out of their mambi sticker packs, stuck them to a piece of punched cardstock, and assembled a storage book to keep all of their stickers in one spot.
These sticker books are awesome, because you can organize the pages in whatever way makes sense to you. You also don't have to worry about individual pages falling out and getting lost.
Starting March 1, me & my BIG ideas will be offering a sticker storage book. It's essentially everything you need to create your own sticker storage book sold in one package. Let's take a look at what's included in the pack:
So much fun!
There are five dividers included so you can separate your stickers into any categories you wish. The tabs are laminated, and the set comes with label stickers for the tabs.
These pre-punched adhesive sheets are one of the coolest things in this set! They're going to making setting this book up so easy.
I'm so excited to start using this sticker storage book! Will you be adding it to your planner stash?

In an informal chat with mediapersons at the airport here, Prime Minister Vajpayee said that he had also made it clear to Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah that while the Centre was willing to consider devolution of political and financial powers to his state, the demand for a pre-1953 set-up was �totally unacceptable�.
The Vajpayee cabinet yesterday rejected the autonomy resolution passed by the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly out of hand, ensuring that it was not for any formal debate in Parliament on the matter.
Before the Cabinet�s decision, both the BJP and the main opposition party, the Congress, had strongly opposed any movement towards granting Jammu and Kashmir the kind of autonomy being demanded by the National Conference on the grounds that it will sow the seeds for the country�s disintegration.
Vajpayee, however, said that if any member raised the issue in Parliament, he was in favour of a discussion on it. �If any member brings up the issue, the matter could be discussed,� the Prime Minister said nonchalantly.
The Prime Minister also appeared unconcerned about the possibility of Farooq Abdullah�s National Conference quitting the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) as a result of the rejection of the autonomy resolution. �Well that is for the National Conference to decide,� Vajpayee said.
Farooq Abdullah, who termed the Cabinet�s rejection of the autonomy report as �unfortunate� yesterday, is on record saying he was not contemplating pulling out of the ruling coalition at the Centre.
The interaction with the Prime Minister was too brief to allow any further questions like whether Vajpayee had indeed led Farooq to believe that the auton-omy resolution could be considered sympathetically. In fact unlike in the past, the Prime Minister has been avoiding the media since his arrival here yesterday, reportedly on the advice of the Industries Minister Murasoli Maran who had pointed out to him the possibility that he may be faced with a volley of questions on the Sri Lankan situation.
With Patel�s resignation, questions are once again being raised about Sonia�s leadership. She summoned him, but till late tonight Patel remained adamant.
Much of his anger was directed at Prabha Rau, AICC general secretary in charge of Gujarat, and Sonia�s private secretary Vincent George, who reportedly did not like Patel�s proximity to the Congress president.
The angry leader today hinted at a possible Rau-George axis, wondering how the rival Congress group in Gujarat was granted constant audience to Sonia when the majority of state leaders supported him.
Patel�s resignation triggered a near-rebellion in Gujarat where Pradesh Congress chief C.D. Patel, legislature party leader Amarsinh Chowdhury and other senior leaders sought to quit. Patel asked them not to.
Patel�s decision has given Sonia�s opponents fresh ammunition to fire at her. They interpreted the move as one more instance of erosion of Sonia�s authority.
Sonia has asked Arjun Singh to turn Patel around since the former Madhya Pradesh bigwig enjoys good rapport with him.
After meeting Sonia, Patel said he put in his papers as he was �tired� of the allegations levelled by the Madhavsinh Solanki group. �I would not like to be a liability to the leadership by my continuation nor can I indulge in petty and nefarious activities as some people are indulging in...Let me assure you that all my time and energy will be directed to the service of the party,� he said.
Several AICC office-bearers and senior leaders called on Patel, requesting him to reconsider his move. Patel had pulled the highest number of votes during the Congress Working Committee elections in Calcutta three years ago.
He was also looking after the party�s affairs in Jammu and Kashmir, several frontal organisations and more than half-a-dozen Nehru-Gandhi trusts.
Patel was instrumental in getting Sonia anointed party chief in 1998. He was her key trouble-shooter, constantly placating leaders like Rajesh Pilot who were fast becoming disillusioned with her style of functioning. But Patel is aghast at the manner in which Rau revoked the suspension of four leaders from his rival camp.
�What about action against all those who held a convention against the high command who called me and others a bunch of jokers?� the angry leader asked.
The resignation triggered disquiet in the party. Senior leader Vijayabhaskara Reddy has convened a meeting of the disciplinary committee tomorrow which will take up organisational matters in Gujarat, Orissa and Karnataka.
Anti-Sonia leaders Jitendra Prasada, Sitaram Kesri and fence-sitters like A.K. Antony are monitoring the developments.
Patel�s resignation marks the end of the decade-long stint of the Young Turks. Picked by Rajiv Gandhi, Patel was first appointed his parliamentary secretary. Rajiv then brought him into the organisational set-up, making him in-charge of the Youth Congress, Sewa Dal and Mahila Congress.
During Narasimha Rao�s tenure, Patel won the CWC polls in Tirupati. He was appointed AICC treasurer after Kesri replaced Rao.
Expressing concern over complaints against the group, Farooq ordered today that �it will henceforth be under the command of district superintendents of police(SP), and for any wrong act of the Special Operations Group the deputy inspector general of police (DIG) of the area and SP of the district would be made accountable�. He also ordered that all operations conducted by the army and the paramilitary forces should be undertaken only after informing the district SPs concerned.
In his address to senior police officers on his return from New Delhi, Farooq directed them to ensure that �none of the men under your command indulge in any activity like extortion and other unauthorised acts which bring bad name to the force in particular and the government in general�. He also told police officers to keep a �close watch on bad elements within the force� and �take measures to rid it of them�. �It is the bounden duty of the police to protect the lives and honour of the people,� he said. �We want to win hearts of the people, not to lose them in this war�.
He said the police had to be the friends of the people and any �action having potential for alienation should be eschewed�. He reminded the officers that �Pakistan is exploiting this alienation� to infiltrate more and more militants into �our territory�.
He stressed the need for a good rapport between the police and the army officers and said �this will be useful in cross checking the information required for such operations�. He also asked the police officers to be alert against �the Pakistani attempts to target them� and suggested taking preventive measures against killer devices like improvised explosive devices (IEDs) that have taken their toll on civilians and policemen.
Referring to the changed Pakistani strategy to concentrate on local youth following the �international condemnation on pushing foreign militants into the state�, state director-general of police Gurbachan Jagat paid �rich tributes to local youth for not falling into their trap�.
Congress leaders, led by state unit chief M. Satyanarayana Rao and legislative party leader Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, staged a dharna in front of the sub-collector�s office. But though about 2,000 party workers braved the heavy downpour, the numbers fell far short of the expected one lakh.
Another novel demonstration, however, drove home the people�s unhappiness. More than 6,000 households and traders in the Ajitsingh Nagar area here switched off their fans, lights and all electrical appliances for an hour last night, aUNI report said. Students studied under street lights, while traders did business in candle-light.
The Congress had chosen Vijayawada as the venue of the mass satyagraha, with legislators, MPs and party functionaries expected to converge from all over the state in a show of strength.
At yesterday�s meeting of the parliamentary sub-committee on ASI, the MPs pinned down the organisation and gave its director-general Komal Anand a taste of what to expect in the House.
The Opposition, particularly the Congress, has dredged up a great deal of information to tighten the screws on the ASI�s �unprofessional� functioning, its lack of accountability and its �potential to stir communal tension�.
�A case in point is the recent controversy about some sacred objects found one kilometre from the Fatehpur Sikri complex,� said Eduardo Faleiro, Congress member of the Rajya Sabha.
A few months ago, excavations around Fatehpur Sikri yielded Jain idols, prompting D.B. Sharma, superintendent of the ASI�s Agra circle, to state that the minority community �did nothing but demolish temples�.
This angered a section of historians. �Sharma circulated a note making this sweeping statement even when the excavators working at the site showed the utmost caution and did not rush to any conclusions,� said Harbans Mukhia, professor of medieval history at Jawaharlal Nehru University.
Soon after reports of the excavation made the headlines, Mukhia visited the site with three busloads of JNU students and later had a running spat with Sharma in newspaper columns.
The historian, however, refuses to paint the whole of the ASI with the same brush. �I was impressed with the two excavators who were at the site of Fatehpur Sikri. They were extremely professional and knew their job,� Mukhia said.
Faleiro believes the Fatehpur Sikri excavations, if �tampered� with, can explode into another Babri demolition. �The ASI cannot jump to conclusions till the excavation is complete. There cannot be a repeat of Ayodhya,� he said.
The organisation was pushed to the centre of a huge uproar at the time of the Ayodhya controversy with some of its leading archaeologists maintaining there was a Ram temple beneath the Babri mosque. At yesterday�s meeting, the MPs told Anand that such statements should not be made without properly evaluating the findings of the excavations.
Though the ASI is trying to shove the blame for the statements on �media pressure�, its bosses will be hard put to explain in Parliament Sharma�s remarks on the find in Fatehpur Sikri.
They will also find it difficult to explain the delays in publishing reports that should be brought out each year. The MPs pointed out that 46 excavations conducted by the ASI since 1952 have gone unreported.
During his five-day visit to Tel Aviv, home minister L.K. Advani met top Israeli security officials, including the chiefs of its external and internal intelligence agencies. Both sides agreed to set up a Joint Working Group to share intelligence, technology and technical expertise. The panelwould also arrange for special training to security personnel.
Though Advani denied that he had gone on a �shopping spree�, government sources said Tel Aviv offered hi-tech equipment for border surveillance as well as advanced terrain-specific transport systems. The Israeli Military Industries (IMI) also made a number of presentations, briefing the Indian delegation on border management, counter-terrorism and explosives disposal.
Home ministry officials said the Indian team was keen to pick up tabs on strengthening border defence, with special emphasis on infrastructure layout, tactical response units, early warning systems and a foolproof command- and-control network. These would involve static installations, surveillance gear for advance information on intruders, a specialised force and coordination between the four structures.
A team of Israeli security experts are expected to visit India later this month. �We expect to thrash out what we need from the point of view of internal security and border management,� a senior official said, but was sceptical about how far the government would go to actually procure the hardware Tel Aviv is willing to provide.
�Equipment and hardware related to border and internal security will be required to be procured at the earliest if the problem of border management is to be addressed. But the bureaucratic process will turn out to be the biggest hurdle,� the official said.
There are also various structures within the government with different perceptions on border management.

Just like the other woman.
He leaves me here alone.
Left to cry every night he's gone.
He says he loves me, but I feel like I'm coming in second place.
And its hard to find any remorse in his face.
I watch him pack his things.
everything from tee's to the greens.
He holds me tight as long as he can.
I don't know how you could take my man.
Your just like the other woman.
taking him from me just because you can.
there is millions of other men for you anyway.
why do you want to take mine so far away.
U.S Army, why do you do what you do.
I really just don't understand you.
You take away my love, my life.
just so you can have him to fight.
He says he has two loves in his life, me and you.
just promise me one day you let him go.
let him be with just me.
let us be happy.
you can take him for these long twelve months.
I will find away to get by for now.
When he comes home to me,
in his past you will be.
I know my Army man loves me,
so the other woman you can be.
when your gone we will see
that in my arms is where he always wanted to be
when you took him from me.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
One conclusion of HydroDesktop testing by new users in Jim Nelson's Hydrology class is the need for a quick "Search Wizard" tool leading the user through the area, variable, time and data source search steps. This need has been mainly expressed
by non-GIS users.
In HydroDesktop 1.3 we are planning to support two search methods: the ribbon based search and the 'faceted search' (developed by Alex at tufts)
Questions for the team:
1. Is adding a quick Search wizard a high priority from your point of view?
2. Should the search wizard use faceted search as the underlying search method?
3. Should we first do more testing of faceted search and postpone adding the quick search wizard to next version 1.4?
The reason why I'm suggesting the usage of 'faceted search' in the quick search wizard is the sequence of search steps. First the user selects the area. Next, when selecting the variable, it is logical if only variables that are available within the area
are shown. Next, when selecting the dates, it is logical if the available date range is limited to the date ranges for the area and variable(s)...
Another consideration when designing the quick search wizard, is the order of search steps. Do you think that the Area-> Variable -> Time Range -> Data Source is the best sequence most users would expect?

I've been dying to share this recipe for no-bake peanut butter energy bites with you because they're healthy, easy, and delicious! They're so simple that I have all of the ingredients in my dorm room already, and that's saying something.In case you need some more convincing…
-They taste like PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL COOKIE DOUGH. But they also happen to be healthy.
-You don't have to use your oven or stove! Hallelujah because this college girl who doesn't have either one of those.
-They're perfect for popping right before a workout, sticking one or two in your lunchbox, or eating as a late-night snack.
-They stay good forever in the freezer and they taste awesome frozen.
-Did I mention they only have 4 ingredients?
First, measure out oats, peanut butter, honey, and mini chocolate chips. I was feeling adventurous, so I added ground hemp seeds, too, like some kind of hippie health nut, but I couldn't taste them. Promise. Other people tried these bites and had no idea that they had a secret ingredient, so unless they read this post, they'll never know!
You could also add chia seeds, ground flax seeds, wheat bran, or your other strange health ingredient of choice. Stir it all up and marvel that it looks like cookie dough! At this point, some taste-testing is probably necessary for quality assurance purposes, of course. If the dough is sticky, you can refrigerate it for a couple hours or even pop it into the freezer for 30 minutes.Shape the dough into 2 dozen or so balls and refrigerate for about an hour before enjoying.
To store the energy bites, you can place them in a container or gallon-size bag and stash them in your fridge or freezer.
I'll be making these again soon, and I'll be doubling the recipe when I do!
- 1 3/4 cup oats, old-fashioned or quick cooking
- 3/4 cup all-natural peanut butter (If your natural peanut butter has been refrigerated and is thick, try popping the measuring cup of peanut butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds)
- 1/3 cup honey (or slightly more if needed to bind mixture together)
- 1/3 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips (I used mini)
- Optional: 1/4 cup wheat bran, hemp seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together all of the ingredients. Stir for several minutes to fully combine mixture.
If the dough is sticky, you can refrigerate it for a 2-3 hours or pop it in the freezer for 30 minutes to slightly firm up.
Form the dough into about 24 tablespoon-sized balls and refrigerate for about an hour before enjoying.
To store, place energy bites in a ziploc bag or storage container. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 6 months.
Depending on the type of peanut butter you use and its thickness, you may need to add slightly more honey or peanut butter to help the energy bites come together.

Latoya is having another Let's get Acquainted Linky Party. I missed the last party, so I thought I would jump on board with this one! This time we are playing the noun game. Favorite person, place, thing and animal. So fun!
Favorite Person:
The award goes to my husband! We've been together almost eight years and married for one and a half. We are a great balance of each other and he always makes me laugh!
Favorite Place:
We visited Hawaii this past summer for our honeymoon and I completely fell in love. It's beautiful and we spent the entire time outdoors. It was amazing.
Favorite Thing:
My Iphone. It's odd for me to say that because I have never been a phone-talker. My husband and my mom are really the only people I talk to on the phone. The funny thing is, talking on it is probably the thing I do the least! But I have that thing on me all the time (maybe too much). It can do anything!
Favorite Animal:
I was never been much of an animal person...until I got my puppy. And, c'mon, how can you not love him??

I've been going out with this girl for quite a while now. We texted regularly and yesterday, she told me that she's going to the mall with her family. I replied and told her to have fun. She ended up didn't reply or text me for at least 6 to 7 hours. I'm not mad at her but i could see that she was still active on her whatsapp so that kinda driving me crazy as to why she didn't even bother to text me to at least tell me that she is busy with something. When she eventually texted me that night, i just replied her with short answer. And she did ask if i'm mad at her. I told her i did not. Later, I told her that i'm out with my friends and asked her to just go to sleep. That was my last text. Now i kinda regret what i did. But, at the same time i'm still mad at her for not explaining to me why didn't she text me. I pretty sure she knows that i'm angry that she didn't reply my text cause she knew that i knew she was online the entire time. Should i just let go of my ego and text her first? and say sorry?
Most Helpful Girl
Thats pretty much how we girls get treated everytime.. jusy ask her the next time she does that.. me and my boyfriend are in this situation all the time.. sometimes I tell him I will text him later and I didn't.. he will ask me why.. and vice verse.. just dont get offended easily and be open.. and always be positive10|10|0

How to Warm Your Swimming Pool with Solar Pool Heating
Comfy pool water temperature level is fairly reduced as compared to various other usages of warm water such as bathrooms and also showers. Level panel solar batteries are most effective at reduced temperature levels as well as are for that reason well matched for swimming pool home heating where a big quantity of water needs to be heated up to merely a couple of levels over the ambient temperature level as opposed to to heat up a smaller sized amount to a considerably greater temperature level. A correctly sized solar heater could delicately increase the swimming pool temperature level by a minimum of 5 to 10 degC (10 – 20 degF) over the regular water temperature level preserving a comfy swimming temperature level each time the water goes through the solar battery.
Home heating your exterior pool with a San Diego solar pool heating system is a straightforward means to reduce your power expenses and also maintain your swimming pool cozy sufficient to swim all at the exact same time. Solar swimming pool furnace are simple to mount as well as will certainly last for many years giving you with cost-free solar warm water. Similar to the residence solar furnace, they could transform the tremendous power from the sunlight right into something beneficial. A solar swimming pool furnace is a really basic furnace to set up as well as run, all you require is a solar power as well as a couple of pipelines. A regular solar swimming pool furnace should offer enough warmth for a yard swimming pool of any kind of shapes and size as long as you have sufficient standard panel solar batteries in your system.
Just How Does a Solar Pool Heating Unit Function?
A solar swimming pool heating unit system does not need to be complexed. A normal system includes a standard panel solar battery, a filter, a pump and also some tubes.
